Original subtitles

In a little while, at 1 p.m., from YGN Broadcasting, October 8, 2005,

in a live broadcast, Quiz Champion Challenge, our very own senior high school student,

Ahn Chan Soo, will make an appearance and challenge for a hoped-for second win.

I hope for a lot of cheering so that our student, Ahn Chan Soo, will get a second win.

- So let's see, is everyone here?- Yes!

Over there. Whose seat is empty?

- It's Ahn Chan Soo's.- No, not that one, the other one.

- It's Choi Dal Po's seat.- Dal Po?

That punk. Where is he at, skipping class?

It's starting. Everyone, be quiet.

Quiz Champion Challenge!

Have you been well for the week? This is Im Suh Woo.

We will start the October 2005 live broadcast of Quiz Champion Challenge.

Okay, in this place right now, we have Ahn Chan Soo, from Chungpo High School, challenging for a second win.

Please give a round of applause.

Ahn Chan Soo

Ahn Chan Soo. Go for the 2nd win!

What type of competitor would you like today?

To be honest, I would like someone who would be worth challenging.

Yes. I understand.

Will today's challenger be someone who will be a worthy competitor? We'll meet him on screen.

In order to stop Ahn Chan Soo's winning streak,

I've come.

From the same school as champion Ahn Chan Soo, a brilliant student with the rank of 34th in the school,

Choi. Dal. Po.

Choi Dal Po

A neck to neck competition within the school ranks—1st versus 34th.

It begins, starting now!

Stay tuned!

♬ The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here. ♬

Why is that punk there instead of here?

Oh my word... he's tacky to a point of surprise.

He's even confident.

Wow. So, now we will welcome today's challenger, Choi Dal Po.

That was really a memorable introduction. How was it? Are you satisfied with your own introduction?

Yes, I am. However, there is one thing that needs to be changed. I'm not a brilliant student.

You're 34th in your school. If so, then it's correct that you're a brilliant student.

But, there are exactly 34 students in the school.

Excuse me?

If there are 34 students in the whole school, then...

Yes. I am ranked last in the whole school.

My nickname is "All Zeroes" as well.

You see, I get zeros on all my tests. Therefore, "All Zeroes."

All right, I think we get it.

Last place in the school? How did this happen?

You see, I thought there were around 300 students in the entire school.

Isn't this... funnier?? A competition between the school's top and bottom.

Am I the only one who finds this funny?

Okay, Choi Dal Po, you have to answer five questions correctly.

You can bring the champion, who is seated way over there, to this place.

- Are you ready?- Yes.

We will start round 1.

Round 1

Among our country's population, 1 out of 43 people have this syndrome.

This is a syndrome where, due to a disorder in the autonomic nervous system, when you lie, you hiccup.

Because it immediately reveals when you lie, a main character's name from a fairy tale was added to this syndrome.

What would be this name?

Okay, since this is Round 1's question, just comfortably...

I will use the chance.

But this is just Round 1. You want to use your chance already?

Yes.

- Yes, I understand.- Is he an idiot?

He's not an idiot. It's showmanship. Showmanship.

I'm the only one laughing this time, as well.

This chance is a friend chance.Chance

Is there a friend who came with you to cheer you on today?

There's no friend cheering for me, but there is a friend here with whom I want to use my chance.

- Who? - Ahn Chan Soo, who's sitting over there.

Me?

You're a classmate of Ahn Chan Soo, right?

However, you're competitors today. Will Ahn Chan Soo give you the correct answer?

Yes, I'll give him the right answer.

You're a very kind-hearted friend.

Now, 30 seconds. Begin.

Ahn Chan Soo, if I completely trash you today, let me slap you just ten times.

What?

Class MottoFriend. Let's become a forest.

Instead, if I get trashed today, then I'll let you hit me ten times. Promise me.

- All right?- You damn...

Okay, friend. But as to who the winner will be, I think the answer has been decided.

I don't know. Isn't that something we need to compete for to see?

And, Choi In Ha.

You.

If I become champion here today...

Unfortunately, your 30 seconds are up.

What are you going to do now that you've wasted your chance?

It's okay. I know the answer.

What? Even though you knew the answer, you used your chance?

This is not funny at all.

That's not showmanship or anything . He's just an idiot. A super idiot.

Prepare the correct answer code.

Okay, good. Then the answer is...

The correct answer is...

- Pinocchio. - Did you say Pinocchio? Pinocchio?

That is the correct answer!

Episode 1Pinocchio

Okay, we have safely finished the start.

Have you, Choi Dal Po, ever seen a person who has Pinocchio Syndrome?

Yes, I have.

Ah, really?

Usually, those with Pinocchio don't speak, because it shows if they lie.

Also, they say they develop a social phobia. Is that correct?

The friend I know is different from the usual person with Pinocchio.

She's completely opposite.

She talks a lot. Everything she says is a blunt remark so her nickname is 'Blunt Remark Maniac.'

Wow, Choi In Ha, is 'All Zeroes' talking about you on TV?

That's not about me.

- Guys, look. She's starting again. - Look, as soon as she lies, the hiccups come out right away.

You also think you're Blunt Remark Maniac, don't you?

No. Not at all...

Kiddo, you are dead meat!

Blunt Remark Maniac? That's an amusing nickname.

Okay then, here's the question for Round 2.

To calculate the year using 10 'Gan' and 12 'Ji' is called '60 Gap-ja'. (An old Korean way of calculating dates.)

As you know, this year is 2005.

Using 60 Gap-ja, what year are we in?

Year of Eul Yoo.

October 7, 2000

October 7, 2000You can calculate that fast?

October 7, 2000Let's see.

Since this is the year 2000, the year of Gyeong Jin. So, if it's 2005, then...

You're right! The year of Eul Yoo!

Wow, aren't you a genius?

Dad, is this hard for you?

Yes, this is very hard for me!

Jae Myung, is this easy for you too?

Can you calculate this really fast?

That kind of calculation is a piece of pie!

Jae Myeong and Ha Myeong, shouldn't both of you join Mensa?

There you go, starting again.

Don't just keep studying, clean this up too. [Distinguished Service Award to Gi Ho Sang ]

I'll go pass out the rice cakes and be back.

Rice cake? Give that to me.

We'll go pass it out.

- Here, give it.- It's fine.

What is the year 1935?

- Year of Eul Hae.- Right. You're right. I was born in the year of Eul Hae.

They're really remarkably awesome, aren't they?

That kind of a thing... I can do it, too.

Are you lying again? He's a Pinocchio.

If you lie, you start to hiccup, that Pinocchio?

I wasn't lying, those are calculations even dogs and cows can do.

Calculations that even dogs and cows can do?

It seems you can't do it, seeing as you're hiccuping.

- Hyung, we won't have to do this all day long, right?- Enjoy eating it.

If it ends with one day, it will be a relief.

Year of 35,287!

- Year of Gye Choong.- Year of 33,000?

Ha Myeong, Ha Myeong. If you answer this I'll take you to the fireworks celebration.

Fireworks celebration?!

- Dad, what year was it? - Dad, what year did you say it was?

- Year of 33,000.- Year of Gyung Jae!

- Year of Gyung Jae!- You heard it. You heard it, right?

Wow!

- You did well! - You're going to take us, right?

Okay, okay. I said I would.

- Dad, you promised! - Okay! Promise. Stamp. Copy.

I put saliva and stuck it on me. Are you satisfied?

Okay!

Wow.

At this rate, aren't they going to get the Nobel Prize?

- Who did the kids get it from? - I think they're a lot like your wife.

Is that so? I've heard that he takes after paternal side on numeral occasions.

Hey, I saw it myself.

They inherited their attributes from the maternal side.One hundred percent their mother.

Sung Joon, do you know all the fire protection regulations? Did you memorize them all?

- Pardon? - Should we test you?

- Why now, all of a sudden? - A fire...

happens suddenly like this, without knowing why.

If you can't answer correctly, let me slap you just ten times today.

Captain...

Mobilize! Fire! Fire! Fire at a waste disposal company.

Go!

All firefighters should put on personal fire protection gear and swiftly move in two-person formation.

There may be people who are still trapped inside the building, so check for people first.

Waste Disposal Company

-Is anyone still in there? Did everyone escape?-No!

There are still two of my employees in the night-duty room on the third floor.

What do I do? I'm going crazy!

- Two people?- Yes.

What if the building explodes?

Let's check for any possible combustible substances first, before going in.

Enter from the back entrance and we'll enter from the front side.

-Make sure to look for any survivors.-Yes.

- Make sure it's safe and then head inside.- Yes!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

I'll be in charge of checking for explosive materials, so you guys check the night-duty room!

Come on. Push!

Ask for back up.

Oh gosh! I'm going crazy! . . .

What do I do?

It's him.

Team leader...

You two...

Weren't you in the night-duty room?

Honestly, we were roasting squid in the night-duty room...

We tried to put out the fire as much as we could, but we couldn't, so we escaped first...

What?

Then are you saying that fire is your doing?

What do I do?

Thinking you guys were in there, I sent a lot of firefighters inside.

Add more water there!

What do we do? What do we do?

Hey! Hey! Be careful!

It is dangerous, so please step back!

Move aside, please!

This is breaking news from NTS.

While extinguishing a fire, nine firefighters died due to explosions in the building.

An explosion occurred while the fire was being extinguished.

As a result, nine firefighters died and one is missing.

A fire occurred, at about 1:10 AM, at a waste management warehouse in the region of Gyeonggi-Do.

While the firefighters went inside the building to extinguish the fire, suddenly—

With this explosion accident, of the Jun Woo Fire Squad,

including firefighters who were on duty, nine firefighters died.

The captain, Firefighter Gi Ho Sang, is missing right now.

Dad!

The police are questioning the manager, Moon, as well as the employees who were on night duty.

I told them not to go inside.

I told them there was no one there and that it was dangerous,

but the fire squad captain recklessly said to go in anyway!

The current situation in this place is that it is even hard to breathe because of toxic gas and smoke.

Under these adverse conditions, the firefighters passed away last night, after a desperate struggle and fight.

Now, daylight has broken.

Along with cherishing the memories of the victims, we should ask who is responsible for this horrible incident.

It's a time when we need to reveal that.

MSC News, I am Song Cha Ok!

Was the picture okay? You filmed all the fire trucks, right?

Yes! But why did you wear the mask? The air is breathable.

To make it seem like we are on site.

- Hello? - It's me.

-Yeah, what? - I've stamped the divorce papers and put them in the first drawer of your desk.

What? There is a person who filmed the scene of the fire?

Tell me what the person looked like. A gray hoodie and jeans...

I'm really sick of you. I'm talking with you about our end, right now.

He looked like a part-timer at a convenience store?

Alright.

- Hyungnim, let's go to the convenience store! - Instead of the convenience store, let's go to the hospital.

We aren't going to the convenience store? We have to get the film!

It was a lie. The cover is obvious.

Everyone will all gather around the families of the deceased, like flies.

We should use bug spray if we want to shoo them off.

Wow, Sunbae you're really...

She totally plays dirty.

Team leader.

What happened? Did you tell them the truth?

Keep your voice down.

Don't even think about telling people that you guys started that fire.

You guys were in the night-duty room and escaped right before the explosion. Got it?

The captain apparently thought that we were in the room, and went in.

Because you told him that, the situation has...

The captain is still missing!

If he comes back later, alive, he'll know everything.

He probably died.

No, he died.

They say they haven't found the body yet.

It isn't because he is alive that we can't find him, it's because he was blown up.

With this kind of explosion, there will be no way to find the remains of the body.

Grandmother, have you seen the news? Yesterday, you know that firefighter man?

That man disappeared after trying to put out the fire.

Ah, seriously.

Grandma, I just saw that man.

Yes, that 60 'Gap Ja.'

Tell me!

No!

This is all a lie, there is no way my son died like that!

It's a lie! It's a lie!

Why did the captain take my husband in there?

He was told there was no one in there.

Yes. What?

Really? Are you sure?

Yes, I understand.

Ma'am, Captain Gi is alive.

What?

He's alive?

- Hurry and film this.- A person who has seen him has appeared.

Really? My children's father is alive?

Yes, the witness has Pinocchio syndrome.

There's no way it could be a lie.

That's a relief. Isn't it, Mom...

What did you say? It's a relief?

How could you say those words now?

Your father has pushed my son to his death!

Aigoo! How can you brag about having him survive alone!

Aigoo!

If he comes, make sure to bring him here!

I have so many things to complain about. How could he have survived alone?!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

A few days later- The house that you can see behind me—- They're coming out!

- Have you gotten a call from your father?- Why is he hiding out instead of coming home?

Is it because of guilt?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, there really was no contact from him.

If he's hiding, do you have a hint as to where it is?

There really was no contact from him.

Even though he heard there was no one inside, yet he still made them go into the fire.

- He ran away.- He must be hiding somewhere.

Aren't they just saying they don't know, even though they do?

Why do you think he ordered an unreasonable operation?

- Was he possibly concerned about a promotion? - My father isn't that kind of person.

Are you insisting that your father isn't at fault?

That's not it.We're just saying nothing is for certain yet.

You're happy that your father is alive, right?

Firefighter Im Moong Gwan. Born in July 1, 1967,

has a shrimp allergy, and the food he likes is japchae (stir-fried glass noodles with veggies). He's a Lotte Giant fan.

What is he saying right now?

Firefighter Jo Sung Joon. Born in February 16, 1965.

Finkl's Song Yu Ri's fan. He takes care of his widowed mother. Because he has chronic gastritis, he wishes he could quit drinking and smoking.

Firefighter Kang Hee Joon. Born July 14, 1973.

His wife's expected due date is December 12th. He likes his coffee with two spoons of sugar and two spoons of cream.

It's the firemen's profile that my father posted in the house.

In the bathroom, next to the front door,

and in front of the desk... He has posted them all over!

Should I recite more?

I can recite all of the firefighters' profiles!

Just like my father.

He's someone who has already bought Firefighter Kang Hee Jae's baby present.

Are you saying that a person like him would abandon his team and hide?

He's not a person who would do that!

What the kid is saying is true, too.

If he's not a person like that, why is he not coming forward?

If he's confident, shouldn't there be no reason to hide?

That's right. He should have come out if he had nothing to hide, why is he hiding?

There must be a reason!

Why are you condemning someone without looking into it first? Those are just all false rumors!

Can you prove it to us that those are false rumors?

Why do we have to prove that?!

What do you think you're doing?!

Don't take pictures! Don't take them!

What wrong did we do?

Pause it right here.

After this, attach the work supervisor's interview.

You know, the one where he said he forced them to go in when everyone was telling him not to?

Let's cut out the part where the son is screaming. Isn't the picture too heartless?

That's why I'm saying to add it in, because it's heartless.

He's still a kid.

If you do that then I think his identity will be known everywhere.

If we treat it with mosaic, it'll be fine.

The chief firefighter told them to just thoughtlessly go in.

- We can treat them with mosaic.- No, no. Even so, no. Cut it out.

MSC has even released footage of the kid grabbing a collar!

That is why people call them, "MSG,"

because it aggregates and is harmful to your health.

That's why we, YGN, are hearing that we are "Organic" news.

Organic is good for your body. That's a compliment.

No, that's an insult.

No matter how good it is for your health, if it doesn't taste good, no one will look for it to eat it.

As for me, I don't think news that no one watches is news!

Is that right?

That's true.

Then... should we put it in?

Cut it.

If I tell you to add it in, do so.

He's a despicable man who ran away to avoid responsibility, even after pushing nine of his subordinates to their deaths!

The family members are accomplices for helping that despicable man!

What you're saying is correct.

But then, what should we do if Gi Ho Sang is really dead?

Because of the explosion, they might not have found the body.

The eyewitness said that he saw him alive.

When the eyewitness is a Pinocchio, there's no way it could be a lie.

Is that it? All the other nine firefighters' bodies were recovered, but only Gi Ho Sang seems to have disappeared.

- If it's this much—- If it's this much, the probability that he is alive is 99%!

That's why the police have also issued a warrant!

Ninety-nine percent, you say?

So you acknowledge that it lacks 1% for it to be a fact.

What?

Don't conclude that Gi Ho Sang is still alive.

Don't condemn him, saying that he's a despicable man either!

Unless Gi Ho Sang gets caught by the police,

and until everything is revealed, don't predict anything, and just release the facts.

If not, the anger will be directed at the wrong person.

The thing that the viewers eat up is not fact, but impact.

Nine of the firefighters died. A person who should bear their resentment is needed!

That is... Gi Ho Sang, who made an excessive order!

The police have secured the eyewitness' testimony that he saw Gi Ho Sang near his house on the day of the accident.

The police said that Mr. Gi had avoided being burned,

but because he's afraid of punishment by the authorities, and resentment from the families of the deceased, they believe that's why he is not showing himself.

I definitely saw him with my own eyes. (Witness who saw Firefighter Gl Ho Sang)

I'm sure it was him. I have the Pinocchio syndrome, so I would never lie.

The police are thinking that in the case of the family persuading him, the chances of him turning himself in would be high,

and they are requesting for him to turn himself in through the family.

After the accident, there has been no contact from him. That's true.

He's worn a gray jacket and brown pants before, right?

Yes.

He has, but...

But the family strongly denies Mr. Gi's guilt.

They are insisting that Mr. Gi is not at fault for the accident.

Are you insisting that your father is not at fault?

- Gi 00 - Firefighter Gi Ho Sangs' son- Those are all false rumors! What are you all doing!

If Gi Ho Sang is arrested, the prosecution is planning to charge him with negligent dereliction of duty,

but some are saying that with an unreasonable operation,

isn't the punishment too easy for someone who has driven nine of his colleagues to their deaths...

From now on, don't turn on the TV.

Mom... went to the market and wasn't able to buy a thing,

because they said they wouldn't sell her their products.

Did Mom cry a lot?

A whole lot.

Hyung... if...

What if... Really, what if...

Father is a bad person, like they say on the news? What should we do?

Hey, the news sometimes lies.And this happens to be one of those sometimes.

When Father comes back,

all of those misunderstandings will be resolved and we will go back to the old times.

We can even go see the fireworks together.

- Really?- Of course.

I can guarantee that.Should I promise you?

- Promise.- Promise.

- Stamp. - Stamp.

- Copy. - Copy.

Stick it with spit, will that do?

Stick it with spit.

You're not lying, right?

I'm not lying.

I think Hyung is lying, Mom.

Your brother doesn't lie.

Then why hasn't he been home for days?

Because he wasn't confident enough to keep his promise, he ran away.

He'll be back soon. He's just temporarily at a friend's house right now.

It would be nice if Dad came back soon.

I hope he comes and hits all those people who bothered you ten times.

Mom.

Are you crying again?

No.

You're not lying, right?

I'm not lying.

Ha Myeong.

Do you want to go watch the fireworks with Mom?

- Now?- Yeah.

Now.

MSC Myeong Sin Broadcasting Station

Hey, give it a rest and leave please.

- How many days has it been?- Please call Reporter Song Cha Ok.

If I meet her, then I'll leave.

You punk!Do you think a reporter is some Batman,

that she comes whenever you call?

Gi Ho Sang Award of Merit

What is the reason you want to see me?

I want to have an interview.

Ha Myeong.

Let's go meet your father.

No Entry -- Police Line

Let him go!

Stop him!

Take the picture of the sneaker, and use the ocean as the background.

5 months laterMarch 2001

No. I don't want to talk.

It's okay, I'm not such a narrow-minded person.

Tell me everything. At times like this, telling the truth is good for me.

Honestly, I regret it. When you and Mom got a divorce

I should have gone with Mom.Then I wouldn't have to live on that shabby island.

Of course, I do understand.

- Grandpa has dementia...- She takes after her mother so much!

So sickening!

I want to tell you that it's okay, even if they're empty words,

but I can't. You know how I am.

See. I told you that I didn't want to answer.

Don't worry, In Ha.You'll hang in there just fine.

I won't use the dialect accent, and I won't let the countrified mannerisms sink in, stylishly.

You can hang in there!

I might become a caveman!

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can’t Lie Team @ Viki

Father! We're here.

Father!

Father!

Aigoo, when was the last time I saw you?

You've grown up so prettily.

You've been well, right?

What are those books?

Father are you going to school again?

I'm doing everything so this doesn't get rusty.

You also solve math problems?

I even took a test!

I got 80%!

Does he really have dementia? I think he's fine.

Oh my! Look at the time.

It's already time.

- Who will come? - You guys too.

Hurry get up and greet him.

Who?

- Who is coming?- Your older brother.

My older brother? What older brother?

Do you have more than one brother?

You can't possibly mean Dal Po?

Here he comes!

- Father!- Dal Po!

Hurry and come!

- Father!- That's right.

- Father?- Father?

Hurry and greet them.He's your younger brother, Choi Dal Pyeong.

Younger brother?

And this is your niece, Choi In Ha.

Niece?

- You came? (Using formal speech)- You came? Why are you saying it like that?

He's so much a dongsaeng (younger sibling) to you.

"You came, Dal Pyeong-ah." You should say it like that.

You came, Dal Pyeong (using informal speech).

You're adorable. Let's hurry and go inside.

Yes, yes.

- It's still cold, right? - Yes.

That... it was about September or October of last year.

It was the same day the North-South Bulletin came down.

Trying to repair a collapsed pillar in the ocean,

I went out to the sea alone,

and I found something hanging...

I was wondering what it was and risked my life to go see it up close.

Oh my! Oh my! What it was...

was your brother.

Seriously, Father.Hyung died 30 years ago.

I know that too!

When I saw him, I was wondering if it was a dream or reality.

My flesh curled and I was so surprised!

But then, when I thought about it...

Oh, even Shim Cheong...(A Korean folktale heroine)

The emperor of the sea saved her and returned her back to her father.

Father, in 2000 what is this talk about the emperor of the sea? You're not even a child.

- Please stop it.- Hey!

If Grandfather was saying nonsense you should have corrected it.

How can you be playing along...?

Father. Hyung died. Don't you remember?

He left to get oysters by himself on a boat.

That couldn't have... That couldn't... That happened. It did.

- But what if he's still in the dangerous water?- Father!

Father! Father!

Stop calling him "Father." What kind of punk are you, coming into someone else's home...

What was that sound?

Father!

- Father!- Grandfather!

Bring a pillow and a blanket! Hurry!

He doesn't have dementia.

If it's not dementia, why is he being like this?

The doctor says that his memory is distorted.

That his son has returned alive. But...

He said that every time we try to correct that memory, he faints from a conversion disorder.

So, you're pretending to be his son?

I'm not pretending. I became his son.

You became his son? Did he perhaps adopt you?

Who let's an old man who lives alone adopt anyone?

The Town Leader and the Police Chief made an effort for me.

What about your parents?

Relatives?

I have none. I also have nowhere to go.

But you can't stay here. You're a stranger to us.

How can we accept you when we don't know what kind of person you are?

I need a father.

And he needs a son. If I weren't here now, he would keep collapsing...

Are you telling me to trick my father to prevent that from happening? Does that make any sense?

Why doesn't it make sense? It's not hurting anyone!

What's wrong with a lie like that?

I'll act as his son just until he gets better.

Just until then, please let me stay.

I'm requesting it of you.

Dal Po, number 4.

Number 4? Here?

Right, right.

Father, this was a good idea, right?

Of course. Number 4 then 7.

Do you think you can call that kid 'Uncle'?

No. How can I call such a small kid like that uncle?

I have to call that small kid my older brother.

Can you call him that without hiccuping?

Yeah. I tried earlier and it worked. Legally, he's supposedly my uncle.

- Grandfather will get better soon. Let's put up with it until then, okay?- Okay.

He probably went through improper method to adopt. When Grandfather is well,

we'll negate the adoption and send him to the facility.

That doesn't work. There's no signal here so the TV doesn't work.

So don't even think about seeing your mother.

Hurry up and answer me.

All right.

What about dinner?

I'm not hungry.

Ha Myeong. Let's go meet your dad.

Really? Do you know where Dad is living?

Yes. I know.

You're not lying, right?

Really.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Can't Lie Team @ Viki

Liar.

I guess I'm exactly the same.

Hey, Kid. You...

For now, I'll call you "Uncle" in front of Grandfather.

But when Grandfather's not around, it's "hey, you." Got it?

And I think of you as a sharksucker. You know what that is, right? A sharksucker?

I don't know.

There's something like that. They stick themselves onto whales' backs and...

Are you hungry?

No.

They stick on and take food, mooching off of them. You don't know?

It looks like you are hungry.

I said I'm not!

There are all kinds of noises coming from your body.

That brat.

Ah, hot, hot! I'm not eating. I'm not eating.

Hot, hot, hot.

I'm not eating. I'm really not eating. I'm not hungry.

Oh, I'm so hungry that my blood sugar level has dropped.

Wow.

You're pretty skilled.

I may not know what a sharksucker is, but I think I get the idea.

It's someone like you, right?

What?

- I admit it.- What?

I have Pinocchio Syndrome so I can't lie. If I lie, I hiccup.

Even though what you just said makes me angry, I admit it.

I'm just like a sharksucker. Just like a sharksucker.

So, you are shameless, just like me. Got it!

Why do you keep staring like that? Because I'm pretty?

Yeah. I'm looking because you're pretty.

Because I have my mom's looks, I hear that all the time. My mom is so pretty!

I'm not being arrogant. It's just genetics, so it can't be helped.

You don't believe me? Should I show you a picture of her?

You have a picture?

No, my dad threw them all away.

If we just fix the television, we'd be able to see.

Television?

Yeah. My mom comes on the television a lot.

So if I ever want to see my mom, I can just turn on the TV...

I can't even do that now.

Do you miss her?

Yeah, a lot.

♬Quiet whispers of you that slowly seeps into my ears.♬

Mom, has it been about half a year? I took Dad's phone to text you. Are you doing well?

Because Grandfather is sick, I decided to live in Hyang Rhee Island with Dad.

I thought I wouldn't like one thing about this place since it's the countryside,

but there is one thing I'm starting to like.

I got an uncle.

He's my uncle but he's shorter than me. Isn't that funny?

He was not so great at first,

but as I look at him slowly, he's alright. I'm in the middle of considering if I should become friendly with him.

Choi In Ha! Hey, Niece!

Yeah? What?

The television is fixed!

Really? How did you fix it?

I don't know. I just tinkered a bit and that fixed it.

Really? Really? Hurry, let's go!

Get on.

We'll be going up a hill. I think it'll be hard.

It won't be hard. Get on.

See? It's not working. I'll just walk.

I can... do it.

I can do it...

The breeze from the beach is nice.

Should we walk?

♬ How nice it would be if Mom came out on the television. ♬

♬ That would be so nice. That would be so nice. ♬

Are you that happy?

Yeah! Kiddo, who do you take after? Dad? Mom?

Father.

Really? Whoever he is, I want to meet him.

What kind of person do you think he is?

Probably not that handsome. Looking at you, that is.

What?

He liked helping others? And he liked being acknowledged for it.

Huh?

I bet he's a nice person.

You're not hiccuping.

Did you think I was lying just now?

Yeah.

It's not a lie.He really seems like a good person, to the extent that I want to meet him.

Why do you keep staring?

Why did you do that?

For the last six months, I've been living telling lies.

Because, for Grandfather and for me, lying was good.

But...

But?

The sincere words you just said are ten times more comforting than telling lies.

Really? That's a relief.

Currently...

It's showing!

Hey, thank you so much!

You're welcome.

My watching this... It's a secret from my dad.

If Dad finds out, he will smash the TV.

He hates your mom that much?

Yeah. Very much.

He's usually kind, but he becomes scary when I mention my mom. I can't even call her.

Oh! It's Mom! Mom came out!

Those who report vehicles that violate traffic laws are being rewarded.

Why did he make them go into the fire? Was it perhaps for a promotion?

It was too light a punishment for a person responsible for an unreasonable fire extinguishing operation

that resulted in the death of nine colleagues...

So pretty! She's definitely my mom.

The Police Department states it was a desperate attempt to establish traffic order,

but due to the number of people making money from it, there is criticism that it's building a wall of distrust.

How long has it been?

As you live, there are many times you will think that the world is small.

Everyone has had the experience of meeting, as strangers, only later to find that they were fated.

Hey, punk.

Hyungnim (older brother). Have you seen In Ha?

She's inside, watching the news.

What? The news?

And she stole your cellphone and contacted her mother.

This brat!

- Hey, you brat! Why aren't you listening?- Why is he like that?

What is he getting mad for?

- Let go!- Dad, don't be like this!

What's with all the fuss?

Ah, Dal Pyeong!

Grandpa, please stop Dad!

Smash them all.

Dal Po! I mean, Uncle.

Uncle, stop my father!

Why should I?

Uncle.

Be it ill-fate or destiny, amazingly they are linked.

Normally, we call this kind of coincidence fate,

but there is a mathematical explanation.

This rule posits that, in all human relationships, if you pass through six links it's someone you know. October 8, 2005

According to this rule, even you and I,

if we pass through six acquaintances, we know each other. Isn't it amazing?

This rule was derived from a popular American actor,

so it's named after him.

What is the name of this actor?

This is the last question for the first round, so it's a little hard.

But if you answer correctly, you'll have a chance to call the champion, Ahn Chan Soo, to the stage.

Starting now, you have five seconds.

Looks like he doesn't know the answer.

Look at that. That's the limit of All Zeroes' knowledge.

The correct answer is Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon...

is the correct answer!

Aigoo. Right, there you go.

What the heck? He really got it right?

Was he always that smart?

Right. He's like a different person.

What if All Zeroes actually wins against Chan Soo?

What the...

Keep talking if you want to die.

Can't you see what's happening? Up till now, he's just been lucky!

Your eyes must be rotten. Does that seem like luck?

Yeah, it was by sheer luck.

What's wrong with you? What?

Do you like Chan Soo by any chance?

No.

It's suspicious how you take his side so unconditionally.

You like Chan Soo, don't you? Huh? Huh?

Oh my! Then you?

Why do you keep taking All Zeroes' side?

Do you, for that matter, have a crush on All Zeroes?

Me? Have a crush on that kid?

Hey, don't play around and just answer the question.

You like him, don't you?

He's my uncle.

I hear you don't even share a drop of blood.

If you forget he's your uncle and just think of him as a man, you like him, right?

No.

She's not hiccuping. It's true.

I guess she doesn't like him.

But Dal Po will win there.

Hello.

- Oh, Jae Myeong, you're here. - Yes. Two cans are enough, right?

Okay, starting now,

the second round, between the top of the class and the bottom of the class,

will begin now.

Dal Po will win. He'll definitely win.

♬ I know that you can't trust me ♬

Pinocchio~Preview~

Dal Po won.Isn't that impressive?

Don't misunderstand. I didn't take your side because I like you.

When will you grow up?

Grandfather! Grandfather, Grandfather!

I don't have any money.

Don't be like that, and buy us a bicycle.

Dal Po! Hey!

Do you hate me that much?

I thought my decision was so firm that it was unchangeable.

The reason I changed my mind and am standing here is a secret.

Pinocchio
