Original subtitles

Okay.

-One, two… -One two…

-My family. -Make lots of money, Dad!

As a child, we were a common, middle-class family.

Oh my!

An ordinary family…

Can you move aside?

…that went bankrupt after cosigning a loan.

My dad, devastated by the unchanging debt despite repayment,

one day disappeared, after saying he had found a good job.

And the three of us remaining

moved from one studio to the next.

Every sleepless night, I thought about the TV show

that featured my whole family. A Father's Miracle.

Here comes the family. A big round of applause, please.

Yes.

The father almost succeeded in the last challenge.

Although…

Do you think your dad will succeed?

…it wasn't really a good memory.

Yes, I hope he succeeds. I really hope he does!

Today's challenge for A Father's Miracle is…

Juggling for ten seconds while riding a unicycle.

Will the father succeed in achieving a miracle?

The father mounts the unicycle.

This is a tense moment.

-And he lets go. -Yes.

-And now… -He's balancing and now has to juggle.

-You can do it, sir. -And from here…

Oh no!

Goodness, he fell.

Oh no, sir!

Sadly, today's A Father's Miracle ends in failure.

Is that where it began?

Yes.

The moment my dad…

No, he fell again.

…began searching for sweet deal jobs.

If I hadn't sent in a request to be on the show…

would things have been different?

DEAD-END JOB

THE WALLS DON'T TALK

You don't think

Spider Staffing Agency only deals with you, do you?

You won't find a sweeter gig than this.

That job

is a sweet deal.

LOOK RIGHT IF YOU'RE NOT BUSY

Damn it.

Fancy seeing you here.

What are you doing here?

I was passing by and saw you, Mr. Hyeok-jun.

You were just passing by?

It's nice to see you here.

I've met quite a few part-timers in my time.

And sometimes, in this line of work,

there are people like you who have a knack for this stuff.

Usually, they give up or disappear after one or two tries.

What do you mean, disappear?

I'm saying you're a natural at this.

How did you think of going to the Yangcheon Bio Clinic?

What?

And how did you escape the milk delivery job?

It's as if someone helped you.

Well, you see, how should I…

The penalty fee!

You said there's a penalty fee if I talk about the jobs.

Is that why you're here?

No, I've just developed an interest in you.

You left the milk delivery without permission

and took someone else's job at the Yangcheon Bio Clinic.

All without pay.

I can't let a talent like you slip away.

-Right? -Sir.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

Do you know

someone named Byeon Min-su

by any chance?

Byeon Min-su?

Byeon Min-su…

Byeon Min-su…

Byeon Min-su…

I don't think so.

Now.

Mr. Hyeok-jun, let's see how far

you can go.

-No, I'm done with the part-time jobs-- -Think it over slowly.

You don't have to decide today.

Just get through the day.

You need to make money.

FIRE HOT TTEOKBOKKI

Hey.

What brings you two here together?

No reason. Hyeok-jun wanted to see you.

-Really? -Yeah.

He could've just video-called me.

I guess he was too shy to say so.

Mom, just don't say anything and take care of him for a few days.

Why?

I had a feeling the interview wouldn't go well. Gosh.

-Me? -What?

-Byeon Hyeok-jun had an interview? -Oh, right. How did yours go?

"Money to pay back"?

UNCLE CHEOL-I 150,000 BY MID APR SANG-WOO 190,000 BY APR

SANG-MIN 180,000 BY EARLY AUG MI-GYEONG 320,000 BY DEC

"Tunnel construction, 50 times."

"Quarry, 100 times."

"Construction site, 200 times"?

"The last."

"The last…"

"Construction site, night shift."

"Construction site."

"Day-night shift."

ACCEPT

BYEON JI-YOON DID YOU TAKE ANOTHER PART-TIME JOB?

GET YOUR ASS BACK HOME BEFORE I KILL…

MISSED CALL BYEON JI-YOON

Mr. Byeon Hyeok-jun?

Yes, that's me.

A young fellow, I see. Hop in.

What are you doing? Get in.

Okay.

Okay, let's get out.

Ouch.

Ow, my back.

-What are you doing? Come here. -I hope we can finish before nightfall.

Today, we do cleanup and nothing else. Got it?

-Yes, cleanup! -Cleanup!

Everyone, stay focused.

Start by quickly removing these supports.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir!

-Hey, move it over here. -Yes, sir.

-Hurry up, rookie. -There's no time, so hurry up!

-Yes, hurry up! -Yes, hurry up!

-All right! -Wait, what's that noise?

-Remove this first. -No, grab that side first.

-Damn it! Everyone, get over here! -Hurry up, people!

We're running too late.

What the hell is this?

-What are you doing? -What the hell?

Why the hell are you removing the supports we installed yesterday?

What are you saying? Speak in Korean!

"Speak in Korean!"

What, are you going to speak formally if I do?

You bastard, you wanna die?

Who ordered you to do this?

We just need to remove the supports!

-Hey, keep going! -You bastard!

Reinstall them now, bastard! Are you going to be responsible for this?

-Remove them all! -No, stop that!

Grab them!

Get the fuck off me, bastard!

You crazy bastard!

Foreman, sir, no. Stop it!

Who the hell are you? Move it!

You're going to kill him!

Let go!

Hey, get a grip!

We'll stop here.

Get up. Let's go!

Those damn bastards.

You'll pay for this.

Is everyone okay?

Fucking bastards.

Beware of your foreman.

Now let's take down the illegal banner on the outer wall.

-You want to do that too? -But there's no proper scaffolding.

Like we ever had proper scaffolding. Let's do it quickly and go.

Hey, Kim.

You take care of that side, okay?

Man, that damn banner…

Hey, rookie.

Yes?

-Did you play on the jungle gym as a kid? -Sorry?

Damn, this is one tall jungle gym.

Oh shit.

Relax, the safety hooks will keep you safe.

Latch the safety hook on the outside.

That's it.

Oh shit.

Yeah, just cut that.

"The price of 30 buried lives…

will be repaid with death."

Kim! Holy shit!

What are you doing? Get down there, now!

Hurry, go! Hurry!

Fuck.

Hang in there, brother. The ambulance is on its way.

It's almost here.

-Just hang in there. -Wait. What…

-What is it? -That bastard's sending it away.

No, over here!

What the hell are you doing?

Why'd you send it away, bastard?

-Who the hell are you? -What?

This bastard sent the ambulance away! Damn it!

You crazy bastard!

Can't you see he's hurt?

I was told not to let the ambulance in.

You transport anyone who gets hurt.

What's up with this bastard?

Are you a Koryoin?

Just get back to work.

Goddammit!

Look, you fucking bastard.

Can't you see a man's about to die?

Come on. Don't pretend like you don't fucking know!

You knew all along.

No? But you did.

Are you saying you didn't? But you did know.

Stop it.

-Calm down. -How the fuck do we work like this?

What are you saying?

The ambulance was sent away.

What, do you expect us all to die?

Did I send it away? Why are you guys making a fuss too?

-This isn't what you fucking promised us! -What promise?

Hey!

Did any of you fucks come here not knowing how dangerous it was?

Goddammit. Fucking hell.

That's not it!

Maybe you can pull that on others, but not with us, damn it!

We don't plan on dying here, so go find someone else.

Go get the van now to load him up!

-Hey. -Yes?

What about you?

I have to stay until the end…

Fucking hell.

Hey!

Bunch of weak-willed bastards! See if I ever hire you again!

Rookie, you'll stay, right?

Yes.

Okay.

The two of us can finish the rest.

Ah shit.

Hurry up.

-Let's put that down and take a break. -Yes.

So are there always

a lot of accidents on site?

Buildings don't just get built.

They're built on blood and bones.

Especially this one.

Building…

Are you interested in this work? Do you want to officially join our team?

You're not the best worker, but you have a sense of desperation.

That's enough.

I appreciate the offer, but I…

Hey, even people with physical issues do this.

Job sites always have a few like that.

We had one on our team too, named Byeon.

Byeon?

Despite his physical issue and the constant chewing out,

he refused to quit.

Honestly, he was a nuisance.

In the end, he met a bad end on-site.

The man you just mentioned, Byeon,

his fingers…

Did he have all ten?

Well…

I think he might have been missing a couple.

If not, he couldn't have been that bad at his job.

Let's move to the basement.

We're almost done now.

We both need to make money to get back to our families.

Grab that and follow me.

-Watch your step. -Okay.

Turn off the light!

All the dust down here could cause an explosion.

The lighting junction box.

I see.

Put that over there.

Then I'll stack them inside.

-Okay. -All right.

Let's stop here.

Okay.

All right, good work.

Looks like it's about time too.

Let's go.

Well, but…

You were curious, huh?

Why the work we do here doesn't make sense?

Because accidents must happen.

This crazy building devours people.

They say a shaman told them at the site selection

to build a tower of human bones.

That they need 100 human sacrifices to ensure wealth for generations.

I don't want to do it.

But they give me a lot of money to do this.

That's why you're here too.

In any case, we survived today.

We just need to get paid.

We're not to blame.

Right?

Only fools end up dead, damn it.

Is making a living a crime?

Is surviving a crime, damn it?

-Did you do that to all the workers here? -No!

People like that Byeon guy?

Did you do that to all of them?

Byeon? What are you talking about?

That Byeon guy from earlier. What was his name?

I don't know. Everyone just called him Byeon.

You don't remember?

You don't remember his name after telling me all of that?

Byeon Min-su!

Byeon.

Byeon Min-su.

Did you kill him?

No.

-Did you kill him and… -No!

No, Byeon isn't buried there.

I'm certain of that.

What?

Byeon isn't dead.

He disappeared.

While working.

Where did he go?

Where the hell did he go?

I don't know…

where he went.

He went through a door

and never came back.

He should be somewhere.

YOUR FAMILY HOPES FOR YOUR SAFETY TODAY TOO

The sewing machine spins so well It goes on spinning

Red flowers, yellow flowers Even when the garden is in full bloom

White butterflies, flower butterflies Even when they flutter over the wall
