This film is loosely based on a true story

of Choi Seung-gyu and Park Jong-ryul.

SHIN HA-KYUN

LEE KWANG-SOO

So what time can you come on the weekend?

You can't take care of him on the weekend?

Well, we can do that,

but he should be with his family

on the weekend.

He's my distant cousin's son.

Can't really call it family, Pastor.

I see...

I'm a priest, actually.

Ah, right.

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY YOOK SANG-HYO

Your dead mom will understand

that I did everything I could for you.

Let's not see each other again.

"House of Responsibility."

Can you read?

Once you're born,

you have the responsibility to live until the end.

Did you say hello to the others?

Let's go.

Grab him!

Yo, Boar!

Stop that.

You cripple bastard!

I'm a quadriplegic, so I can't feel pain.

You're too stupid to understand.

It means I can't feel pain

even if you beat me.

Give it a go!

Grab a rock and hit me, asshole!

Blood...

That's it?

You got too scared to do it right.

It doesn't hurt at all, punk.

Try again properly.

If you don't, I'll kill you.

Do it.

Hit me, asshole!

Family Picnic Day

- Pull it, over there. - Thank you for coming.

No, it's too high.

Thank you for coming, please enjoy your meal.

- Thank you for everything. - It's all thanks to you.

Hold onto it tight.

All done.

We should eat too.

Se-ha, isn't it nice to be out?

Cheer up, will you?

Let's see.

Anyung's rolls are the best,

and Boar has the best chicken.

They only get to eat theirs,

but we get the best of everyone.

- We're the best, right? - Yup, yup.

Dig in.

Wait.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen.

Lord, thank you for blessing us with this food.

Let's eat.

Father!

- Look at the time! - Go help him!

I got to go make some money.

- Do I look like a priest? - Yup.

Okay.

I'll make a ton!

How about some praise to the Lord?

Cheers!

Father! Someone has fallen into the water!

- Run over there! - Get up!

Check the children! Hurry up!

Let's move!

Where is he?

A boy in a wheelchair fell in!

- A wheelchair? - Another boy went in to save him!

Se-ha...

Se-ha!

Se-ha!

They're coming out!

There they come!

Dong-gu! Dong-gu!

Dong-gu!

Dong-gu! I'll be right there!

Wait for me! Come on!

INSEPARABLE BROS

Wake up!

Hurry, hurry!

No fried eggs for the last one up!

- Wait for me! - Hurry!

Hello, hello.

- The priest's name? - Father Park.

My name?

Bro.

- Kang Se-ha. - Kang Se-ha.

You're lost, what do you do?

Be sad.

What if someone lures you

with goodies?

Really?

- You have to say no. - No.

What if someone calls you a dummy?

Want to die? Let's fight!

Good.

If anyone ignores us,

we'll give them hell.

Yup.

Flush.

Bro, let's go to the pool later.

Okay.

Wow, those are Heelys!

Se-ha, Dong-gu coming!

Move please!

This really isn't right!

Bride and groom coming together under the Lord's gaze,

this is overdone.

Not even a word...

Okay, I'll write it again.

- It's empty. - Yup.

Did you really receive an ordination?

You don't even have your own cathedral.

It is weird, right?

Don't pour him anymore.

Don't order him stuff like that!

You got him to break my smokes!

Listen, Se-ha.

It's my first wedding mass in a long time.

I got to move people to get them

to donate.

How long will we continue to eat eggs?

Right, Dong-gu?

- Yup. - Yup, right.

Please stop drinking.

This is the medicine for my soul, it's okay.

- It's empty. - Yup.

Dong-gu, turn the page.

Ah...

Dong-gu, come on.

- Turn the page. - Um...

The words of the Lord

I'd like to convey today are,

"Always love one person,"

definitely not those.

"Always disappoint one person."

Just like our feelings, love won't last forever.

But if you can accept the faults

of your spouse,

that love will last forever.

So do not be disappointed with love,

love even the disappointment of your spouse.

Because we're such frail beings,

we get hurt, cause disappointment

and fall in despair.

If you are able to take in the shortcomings and understand,

then we can empower each other.

So that they may support one another

in the worst of times,

the Lord has brought these two frail souls

to this matrimony today.

Sleeping on stomach could cause suffocation

- Bro. - Yeah?

Is Father gone?

Yes, to heaven.

- Did he abandon us? - No.

He'll become a star and watch over us.

Is your mom a star too?

Yeah.

She could've met him already.

My mom too?

I told you,

if you listen to me, she'll come back.

I listen to you.

Okay, let's sleep.

- Bro. - Yeah?

You won't leave, right?

I can't go anyway if you don't push my wheelchair.

Good night, bro.

Next.

Next.

Next.

Warning: Rent is 6 months overdue

How much will you withdraw?

Everything.

Okay, could you fill out this withdrawal form?

- We can't fill it out. - Pardon?

We can't fill it out.

Um, ah, right.

Your companion can fill it out for you.

Do you accept to being his representative?

Just fill out the checkmarked fields.

We can't write it!

It's okay, he can do it for you, here.

Kang Se-ha

Oh, oh my...

I need your signature here...

- Dong-gu, get my seal. - Seal.

Here.

That's green,

and it's small and flat on the end.

The seal is black,

size of your thumb,

as tall as a lollipop,

with a round tip like your head.

Round head...

- Seal. - No.

That's thin and long.

It's got an eraser on top,

and pointy on the other end.

The seal is shorter, thicker and overall round.

Round...

No,

it's not flat or fat with a cover.

The seal is dipped in this,

not this thing.

It's black, size of your thumb,

look for that!

Allow me.

$34.30

How about this?

Why not consider the rest as donation?

Not credit, but donation.

I can give you a tax return form tomorrow.

It'll be completely tax deductible.

Well...

Not that...

How about volunteer hours?

My daughter needs it for performance assessment...

Of course I can, I'm an expert at that.

Give me the dates. I'll give her enough hours.

What grade is she in?

It's for performance assessment,

so $5 per hour,

$100 for 20 hours.

Volunteer report is extra $30,

- so a total of $130. - $130!

I need photos as proof too...

$10 for playing, $20 for feeding,

and $30 for washing. Choose.

Playing?

Playing.

Feeding for me.

Next.

Foreign school application?

Yes, I need a certification in English.

Then $50 extra for translation. Pick it up next week.

$50 extra.

I graduated from Stanford.

But it's tough finding a job,

so I got to fill up my resume.

You'll need a lot of volunteer experience.

I'll give you a discount,

how about a paying gig?

- What kind? - It's a translation gig.

Could you write me a volunteer report then?

That requires some creativity, it will need some skill.

- Sad or funny? - Both.

A combination of the two,

with some pathos perhaps?

The report and translation even out.

200 hours for $500.

$500?

- Do you need a photo? - I need it.

What the hell are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

It's a give and take with those

who need volunteer hours.

Look at this guy talk.

This is exploitation of the disabled.

How could a disabled man

exploit another?

And had you got us the funding,

I wouldn't have done this!

Beggars can't be choosers.

The funding's cut off here.

What? Why?

Where would the funding come from without the priest?

With that, this facility will be shut down.

Even after his death,

nothing's changed here.

What about everyone here?

Without the man in charge, should we all just die?

Should a top-level social worker

say that?

That's a good point.

I've been transferred to the youth department.

You must feel good.

Yeah, totally.

And you got a big burden off your chest.

The landlord wants you out.

He'll take the rent out of the deposit.

What about us?

You'll be moved to different facilities.

Good, that's good!

I won't be responsible for them anymore.

Well, thank you very much!

You still don't get it?

It means you and Dong-gu will be separated.

You have a physical disability, and he's got developmental disability.

You'll go to different facilities.

I tried to stop this, but there's no other way.

There are no donations. We don't meet the support criteria.

Hello, hello.

Bro, let's go to the pool.

Bro, let's go to the pool.

Go away.

Don't bother me when I'm thinking!

Quiet down!

6th Geumcheon Citizen Swimming Tournament

Excuse me, please stay back.

Lee Jung-hyun!

Go, Lee Jung-hyun!

There's a tournament today, no public swimming.

You see us every day.

Just let him swim.

But not today.

Damn it...

Then can he use the kiddie pool?

Look at his forehead.

If he doesn't swim, he'll bang some more.

I'm just a part-timer.

If you're not competing, you can't be here in a swimsuit.

Please leave.

We won't get in the way...

Dong-gu! Dong-gu!

Grab him!

- Pull him out! - Get him!

What's he doing here?

- Pull him out! - Quickly!

Hey!

How is he so fast?

He's good.

I got him!

You're good!

1st Place: $1,000

Beloved Child of Others

Can we have some more beer?

Cheers!

Here's your beer!

I'll clean this up for you.

- 2 more please. - 2 more?

Your contract for part-time job at Geumcheon Pool

has expired.

- Mi-hyun? - Yes?

Star Studio Housing

Sports Center Part-Time Jobs

Hello, this is Nam Mi-hyun.

- Not too hot, Dong-gu. - Not too hot.

How did you get my number?

Let's have some coffee before we chat.

When I mentioned reporting you for discriminating a disabled man,

the pool staff freely gave it to me.

Why are they giving away private info?

I noticed your pool job's over.

Are you looking for a new one?

Why is that any of your business?

Dong-gu will attend next month's swimming tournament.

Why don't you coach him as his pacemaker?

You saw what he's capable of.

We'll split the prize money 80-20.

It's not even much.

Will you continue to work part-time jobs?

Earn some volunteer hours and start your career, no?

If you coach a disabled swimmer and win a competition,

that'd be a perfect narrative

for a sports foundation job.

50-50.

Very greedy.

With a volunteer report too?

Okay, 60-40 with the report. Shall we seal the deal?

You're fast this time.

Turn!

A bit harder!

Harder!

One! Two!

Three! Four!

One! Two!

Three! Four!

Raise your elbow higher!

Slice through the water like a butter knife!

Butter knife!

Two! Three! Four!

One! Two!

Three! Four!

2018 Incheon City Masters Swimming Meet

The deadline is over, you're too late.

As per manifesto of human rights

for people with disabilities,

one must use discretion to extend the deadline...

I didn't know

swim meets were part of human rights.

The applicants for 50m freestyle are overflowing.

I turned people away for being 5 minutes late.

Excuse me, I'm needed at the city hall.

By any chance!

Do any of your children

need volunteer hours?

I could make that happen.

I'm...

single.

Dong-gu, follow him!

That way, super fast!

Super fast!

What do you think you're doing?

A wheelchair is faster than an elevator with gravity,

and I'm begging you to let him compete.

It's because you're trying to run away from us!

Who's running away?

Forget it.

I will not break the rules for anything.

Never, ever!

He's so annoying...

Lift me!

Hey!

How could you treat

a quadriplegic like this?

I was late to the deadline because I'm disabled!

That's no reason

to push me!

You pushed him?

Mi-hyun, call the district office, Department of Welfare,

then call National Human Rights Commission!

I've had it.

Do you have to go this far?

If I don't do this, will anyone pay attention to us?

Take some photos.

Everyone, I need to take some photo evidence!

Dolphins don't learn to swim.

Us humans all know how to swim,

but our ability has diminished

after living on the land.

Dong-gu is a pure soul,

who can swim like the dolphins.

Mr. Park Dong-gu may be cutting

through the water,

but Mr. Kang Se-ha is the one

who motivates him to reach the goal.

With their living facility on the verge of getting demolished,

they're in danger of being separated,

but they'll prove why they deserve to be

with each other through their victory.

Swimmers, please get to the starting position.

Dong-gu, you asshole! Do your best!

Dong-gu, take it slow.

I mean, swim fast!

- Butter knife! - Do just like the training!

Good! Slice the water! Straight arms!

Don't lift your head too much!

What's he doing?

Why did he stop?

Dong-gu, get over here!

Keep swimming!

I just don't understand!

You could've kept going!

Stop it.

Tell me, why did you stop?

I was scared.

You dummy, what's there to be scared of?

You want to fight? Dong-gu is not a dummy!

What are you doing? You're going to hit me?

Get back here!

Come on,

just participating in the competition is a big deal.

There are plenty of abled bodies who can't swim at all.

At least we got people's attention.

- Let's go! - He should've won.

We lost the prize money.

Not even the local paper wants an interview.

Did you really get into college by swimming?

You couldn't even teach him how to turn properly.

You're blaming me?

Why are you shouting at me?

I thought you two were one!

Aren't you the one using him for money?

What? Use him?

Did I hear that right?

You should watch your tone.

I'm older than Dong-gu,

and much older than you!

You should mind some manners.

Should I be courteous and angry at the same time?

I'm already pissed as is...

Dong-gu will do better!

I will win! Sorry!

- Hey! - Dong-gu!

- Dong-gu will do good! - Okay, okay.

- I will win! I will win! - Okay, you will.

I will win! I will win!

That's enough.

Today is Dong-gu's cheer-up day.

I may be poor, but the treat is on me.

Pick whatever you want.

This pork looks really good.

Pork belly and pork neck.

- Dong-gu. - Some meat, please.

Good, meat is good for swimming.

Dong-gu, here.

No meat, there's no meat!

Give me, hurry!

- You got a stain. - No, there isn't.

Sesame leaf.

Was I right?

Pineapple?

Tuna?

Sea snail.

Beer.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Next! Next!

Next!

Okay! That's the day.

That's your next competition.

You have to finish no matter what.

- Got it? - Yup.

Promise.

Promise.

Seal.

Cabby.

- Copy. - Copy.

- Bro. - Yeah?

Sorry, I will do better next time.

Dong-gu, what were you scared of?

- I couldn't see. - Couldn't see what?

Mom.

Why all of sudden?

I just... thought of her.

Okay, let's sleep.

Bro.

You can't go nowhere

if I don't push your wheelchair?

That's right, not even a little.

Good night, bro.

Pass! Pass!

You got to at least have your own chair

wherever you go.

Like me.

- They're having fun. - Of course.

If they let us be,

even we can live well.

But it's not easy.

Have you ever liked someone?

Sure.

A volunteer who came by in middle school.

She treated me well.

So?

I asked her to be my girlfriend.

Dang, did she say yes?

She didn't show up after that.

If you can walk again

with stem cell therapy,

what would you like to do?

I want to run when I'm late for an appointment.

Will you keep getting Dong-gu to compete?

Why? Going to accuse me of using him again?

He'll need a job

if he wants to live as an adult.

He needs some trophies

to work as a coach somewhere.

Me too! Me too!

Let me play!

Good afternoon, everyone!

We're here to take you to your new home.

Please cooperate with us.

Are you Mr. Kang Se-ha?

- Yes. - Who is Park Dong-gu?

You two have requested for independence,

but we'll need to take

everyone else.

We've received their parents' consent.

Se-ha! Do something!

Save us, Captain!

Let's begin!

This way.

Hello!

- Hello! - Hello there.

- No, it's okay. - No...

You're going somewhere great.

They're not criminals!

Let him go, you're endangering them!

This place will be demolished.

It's more dangerous if we leave them here.

I'm not going! This is my home!

Right, Captain?

I don't want to say good-bye, Captain.

Father told us to live here!

I know!

If you stay there for a bit, in time...

Jeez...

No, bro, don't abandon them...

Bro, bro...

We have to live together. Abandoning them is bad.

Dong-gu...

- Don't abandon... - Don't do that.

- Stop it! - Stop crying!

I'm no captain.

What's with you all?

I'm tired too.

Leave! Just get the hell out!

The demolition starts tomorrow.

You two can't stay here.

Dong-gu, go slow, easy, easy.

Se-ha, all right, good.

Hold on.

Get the wheelchair first.

Don't order me around, it's coming.

Let's go.

Why did you wait so long to call?

You should answer it for once.

I called so many times.

How poor are you to live

in an elevator-less apartment?

Shut it, talking makes you heavier.

Pushing is hard enough.

Why did you have to send Mi-hyun away?

She's busy with part-time work,

she's not a freeloader.

Dong-gu, he's not coming back down again.

He'll live on the third floor forever.

Push properly, Dong-gu's tired!

So tired.

Here.

The washroom is here.

It's bigger than it looks.

I kept the toilet paper rolls to recycle.

The chicken's not finished so I didn't toss it.

I'm glad I cleaned up beforehand.

You're the first men to come to my place.

Dong-gu,

we should've gone with those men.

You had it easy at the facility.

Cleaning and laundry are the hardest part of living alone.

You two can sleep in the living room.

Oh my, I'm already too thirsty.

Bro don't like dirty.

Dong-gu, why don't you forget him

and live with me?

Would you like to apply for a motorized wheelchair too?

I'll think about it some more.

Since you have a disability,

you have a good chance

of being selected for affordable housing lottery.

But it requires $10,000 deposit.

The community center can co-sign for a loan,

so don't worry too much.

And to be independent, you'll need a job.

Your occupation is...

We'll look for it in time.

But first,

this is an application for the apartment lottery.

Please fill out the marked fields.

Here's your welfare card.

Could I write that?

And you are...

- Friend... - Volunteer.

Doksan Community Center

Want to watch a movie?

If he can win that,

anyone on earth can!

Just get me some beer.

Holy cow!

He's so good at the claw machine!

Are you wearing new shoes for the trip to the theater?

Don't you know better?

My shoes are forever new.

Not being able to walk isn't the only depressing thing.

Aimlessly walking in place...

is also pretty pathetic.

You're being weak.

Aren't you headstrong?

As if. I got nothing.

I'm just faking it.

Seeing you guys,

I thought I could show my weak side.

You told me Father said that

the weak must live together.

And that living together is proof that you're actually strong.

He was drunk and rambling.

The weak only gets stepped on.

Will I get stepped on too?

Stop this nonsense and let's go for a walk.

He's so good...

Be careful! Be careful!

I'm dizzy...

Who was that actor? From that movie?

Nabddeuckyi?

No, his real name.

Jo...

Dong-gu...

Dong-gu, my baby...

You're all grown up...

Dong-gu, my boy...

Dong-gu...

Those who come for...

their disabled children out of the blue

come for the renunciation of inheritance.

You can do more damage

by interfering with his stipend.

You sure can talk for a young guy.

I'm not quite young, I just look young.

You expect me...

to believe you...

with just that photo?

How...

How could I not recognize my son?

I'll do a DNA test

if you need it.

You abandoned him

with just a swimming bag,

so why now?

We even applied for housing to be self-reliant.

Have you asked him?

Asked him what?

Have you asked Dong-gu?

I heard it all from the lady who worked at the facility.

All this time,

Dong-gu fed you, cleaned you, clothed you,

and pushed your wheelchair too.

He even helped you go to the washroom.

Pardon?

Lady,

I told him lies after lies,

about you coming back

because I didn't want to hurt him.

And now, that's all you got to say?

Are you accusing me of abusing a disabled man?

How dare you say that?

Let's talk later.

I'll...

take him later.

What right do you have?

I'm his mom!

I'm taking him no matter what.

Dong-gu.

This...

rice cake was your favorite.

I made them myself, like before.

Do you remember me making these?

You played with the dough beside me.

I waited at the pool,

but Mom didn't come.

I've been eating well,

going to school

and waited.

I waited every day.

I'm sorry.

I'm...

I'm really sorry.

It's...

It's all my fault...

I will...

never...

ever leave you.

Dong-gu, please...

That lady...

applied to be Dong-gu's guardian.

His guardian? She wants his custody?

It'll be hard but let him go.

Will you fight her in court?

She's still his mom and family.

What about Boar? And Anyung?

Were they orphans to be

with us?

Did their family take care of them?

Why did Boar's dad hit him

and damage his eardrum?

Why hasn't Anyung seen his brother

even once?

You know you're wrong!

We're not family to them,

we're a burden!

You're preaching to the choir.

I just wanted to talk.

Dong-gu's opinion matters the most.

It's up to him to decide who he wants to live with.

He's an adult after all.

Hello.

What drink would you like?

2 Americanos and an orange juice.

Biggest size.

Ah, okay.

Would you like iced coffee or hot?

1 ice,

1 hot with 2 ice cubes.

I see...

Is it for here?

I'll drink it here and take it out later.

How long have you lived together?

- How long. - Park Dong-gu.

How long have you lived with Kang Se-ha?

- 10... - 20 years!

- 20. - Who do you want to live with?

Kang Se-ha or Jang Jung-soon?

- Jang Jung-soon. - That's your mom!

Dong-gu.

You need to answer instantly when you're asked.

The answer you've always had in your head.

An instant answer.

Who do you want to live with?

I want to live with bro!

Good, with the name.

I want to live with Jang Jung-soon!

No, my name!

Kang Jung-soon?

Forget it!

I'm tired of this.

Dong-gu,

who do you

have fun with?

Bro.

What's his name?

- Se-ha. - Wow, you're good.

Will you live with Se-ha?

Drink.

See? He wants to live with you.

As you've seen just now,

the two of them lived together for a long time.

Your Honor,

I'd like to request Mr. Song Seok-du as our witness.

How do you know

Kang Se-ha and Park Dong-gu?

I was Kang Se-ha's college junior.

Junior?

I worked in another field, and started studying in my 30s.

And after college?

I worked at a district office,

and I oversaw the facility where Mr. Kang lived.

Having seen them for a long time,

what's their relationship like?

By bringing together men with different disabilities,

they've complimented each other superbly.

It's an exemplary case.

Your Honor, that is all.

This flyer proves that

Mrs. Jang looked for him.

Missing Child: Park Dong-gu, Age 7

Was it Mr. Park's decision to enter the swimming competition

for regular people?

By "regular"

you mean abled people?

It was his will.

Pull up the photo please.

Donation Account

Wasn't Mr. Park used to resolve

their housing situation?

No.

Dong-gu loves swimming, so Se-ha...

Your Honor,

I'd like to call upon Mr. Jo Sung-il as our witness.

Approved.

I'm a Stanford grad, currently seeking work.

I volunteered...

at Mr. Kang's House of Responsibility.

What did you do there?

- I translated. - What kind?

Other volunteers needed

English recommendation letters for colleges abroad,

so I translated those.

What did you get in return?

I received volunteer hours.

But I paid $5 per hour,

so a total of $500 for 100 hours.

Kang is an immoral man

who exploited people's good will,

in order to collect a sizable sum.

I'd like to ask if he has the right

to be a legal guardian.

Silence in the courtroom. We'll adjourn for today.

We'll pick up on July 10 at 10 AM.

Hot.

Hot.

Son of a bitch!

Yes?

Just give me some.

- Who is it? - Hot.

Hello there...

I'll leave these here and go.

Was this approved by the lawyers?

You can't just barge in here without notifying us!

We gave you time to meet him before the trial tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I'll leave after this.

Does he starve when he's with me?

Dong-gu, I made all your favorites,

so don't eat ramen, and have these.

What's wrong with ramen?

Look at his physique,

he grew up fine with it!

And he happens to like it!

You tossed him too early

to know that.

Your accusations are too much.

Too much? Abandoning him isn't?

Do you know how hard it is to live

with a random person?

That's why...

That's why I'm doing this.

Like you said,

I haven't done a single thing for him for 20 years.

That's why I want to make it up to him.

But what right do you have to stop that?

Will you be happy if he takes care of you

all your life?

Dong-gu.

No screaming at bro.

Who do you want to live with?

Kang Se-ha!

- Who is Kang Se-ha? - Bro.

Who would you like to live with?

Kang Se-ha.

Why live with him?

Because it's fun.

- Good, just say that. - Yup, I'm no dummy.

Of course, you're not a dummy!

Coach...

Hello.

It's time to see your mom.

Here.

Did you abandon

your son Park Dong-gu?

Yes.

Why did you?

After his dad died suddenly,

I was desperate.

I couldn't bring him to my workplace.

I thought we'd all die

if we stayed together.

Where did you leave Mr. Park Dong-gu?

Dongdaemun swimming pool.

May 5, 1993.

How could I ever forget that day?

Has your current family

ever lived with a man

with developmental disability?

No.

Will you abandon him again

- if he becomes a nuisance? - Objection.

My client is being intimidated

with a made up scenario.

Sustained.

Kang Se-ha.

You became a quadriplegic at 2

after a freaking accident,

and after your mother's death at 10,

you've been passed around,

and met Mr. Park 20 years ago

at House of Responsibility, right?

You did a very good background check.

Had your mother not passed away,

who would you be living with now?

But my mother did pass away.

Very well.

Kang Se-ha.

You're a licensed social worker, am I correct?

Yes.

Do you think...

he should live with other disabled people,

or regular...

I meant,

abled family members?

Which one do you think would be more desirable?

Did you choose...

your family before birth?

Living together as people with disability

isn't the issue.

Let's say...

a fire breaks out.

Isn't that too dangerous?

Then we'll call 911.

Are abled people...

immune to fire?

But she's his mom, of the same bloodline.

She loves him just as much as you do.

Her family is harmonious,

and financially stable too!

So why do those perfect people

need Dong-gu?

My priest once said to us,

"the weak must help each other."

The weak can help others

because they're weak.

Thinking only about oneself will lead to death,

but helping and working together will prevent death!

If I used Dong-gu,

he also used me.

If he helped me,

I also helped him.

That's how we lived together.

Mr. Kang Se-ha, return to your seat.

Lastly, Mr. Park Dong-gu, please come forward.

- I'd like to hear from him. - Your Honor,

Mr. Park has a mental age of 5.

He's also under the influence of Mr. Kang Se-ha,

- so if he... - Mr. Park is an adult,

and it is imperative

to hear about his own opinion

on the matter.

Do you have an objection?

No, Your Honor.

Bro...

Could you look at me?

Good.

- What is your name? - Park Dong-gu.

I see. Allow me to ask you a question.

Mr. Park.

Who would you like to be your legal guardian?

My apologies, allow me to rephrase that.

Who do you want to live with?

That's hard, right?

Let's try something.

Could you step forward? Please give him a hand.

Yup.

Could you have him face the crowd?

Can you see the people?

When I ask you a question,

could you point to someone you want to live with?

Understand?

Okay,

Mr. Park Dong-gu, who do you want to live with?

Did he forget again?

Se-ha, say something.

Your Honor, I think Dong-gu forgot...

I mean, he's confused.

Could you ask him slowly one more time?

Could you ask him slowly?

- Your Honor! - Please quiet down.

- But, Your Honor! - Be quiet!

I'll check if he's confused or not.

Sit down!

Mr. Park Dong-gu,

do you know who you're pointing to?

Mom.

- Priest's name? - Father Park.

- My name? - Kang Se-ha!

You're lost, what do you do?

Be sad.

Done.

- Flush. - Yup.

Bro, let's go to the pool.

Okay.

Bro.

Dong-gu, live with your mom from now on.

That's what you wanted.

Dong-gu, let's go.

Bro, you're not coming?

Of course not.

I'll live here,

and you'll live with Mom.

You can't go anywhere

if I don't push your wheelchair.

No.

Even if you don't,

Seok-du...

and the coach can.

Here we go!

What do you want to eat first?

Aren't you playing favoritism?

Why is there so much food?

It's not favoritism,

I'm just thankful for this.

Didn't you buy new clothes?

Let him be.

Let's eat.

Dong-gu, sweetie.

This is bulgogi, which you love.

Have some side dishes too.

Cho-rong.

Ta-da! It's your present!

It's okay, take it.

Dong-gu.

This is your home.

Mom,

Dad,

and your sister Cho-rong.

We are family.

Let's eat!

Mom.

Oh my, Dong-gu, it's okay.

My apologies, it's nothing at all.

Dong-gu, this way.

Welcome!

Give me some tissues.

Dong-gu, you don't need to work.

So stay right here and relax,

- okay? - Yup.

Do you understand? Stay right here.

My good boy, that's it.

Hey! Watch it!

Sorry about that.

Could we respect each other?

Use nice words too, okay?

Water!

Here, here.

Why did you take my egg?

It's mine!

Byung-nam, stop that.

- Eat yours! - Byung-nam!

Stop it!

Don't fight!

Where's my egg?

I'll bring you one!

I'll bring you one!

Your egg is right here.

Congratulations! You've won the affordable housing lottery!

Forget it, don't eat.

We just washed that.

Stay away from each other!

You got food on it!

203 volunteer hours. Wow, that's a lot.

Have you read this volunteer report?

No,

my reference uploaded it to the site, so I didn't see it.

That's right.

It's written here,

"Volunteer Nam Mi-hyun is frivolous and too honest,"

"but worked hard to teach the disabled how to swim."

"And while we were with her,"

"we forgot that we were disabled."

What does this mean?

I guess he was quite forgetful.

The facility is called House of Responsibility.

What does it mean?

A person has the responsibility to live

until the end.

That's what I learned.

Good-bye!

Good-bye.

Dong-gu! Have you been well?

Coach...

I brought your favorite.

Coach...

How is bro?

Se-ha's doing well at another facility.

You?

I'm at my place.

At a studio housing, eating canned food.

And bro? Is he...

By himself...

He's at a great place,

it's called House of Love.

He's got plenty of friends, and the care workers are nice.

Look at this.

This is where he lives, isn't it great?

He can't be alone.

He can't eat, or poop by himself.

Coach, you and bro...

You have to push his wheelchair...

He can't be by himself.

Not by himself.

Not by himself!

- Not by himself! - Dong-gu!

Not by himself!

Dong-gu, what's wrong?

- Not by himself! - Dong-gu!

Not by himself!

- Not by himself! - Dong-gu, please!

Not by himself!

Please leave,

he's not ready for you yet.

- Not by himself! - Dong-gu!

Not by himself!

He did it so that you and I can be together.

He had it all wrong!

Dong-gu wants to be with you,

but he testified that way

because he wanted me by your side.

- Are you listening? - End call!

There's no fire.

Could you light this?

There's no fire here!

Why isn't this working?

What are you doing?

Fire!

Fire!

Please go outside! Watch out!

Out of the way!

Where would you like to go?

House of Responsibility...

House of Responsibility.

Bro...

House of Responsibility.

House of Responsibility.

House of Responsibility?

No search results

Responsible House.

Bro...

No search results

I'm not getting any hits.

What's the address?

Address...

House of Responsibility.

What a day.

Geumcheon District Sports Center

It's the pool.

Right? I knew it was here.

It comes to $23, cash or credit card?

Card.

Become millionaires with Pororo and Crong!

Buddy! Buddy!

It's Pororo!

Good-bye.

Regular Closures

Demolition Notice

How am I supposed to know that?

Don't say that.

You took him,

so you're responsible for him!

If there's someplace he likes to go...

He can't even ride a bus. Where would he go?

If he ever gives you a call...

He doesn't even know how to call.

I don't care, don't ever call me!

- Mr. Kang! - Siri, end call!

Is someone missing?

Why did you answer her like that?

Give me some beer.

Siri...

Siri.

Siri!

Siri...

Siri!

Mr. Yook!

Mr. Yook!

Yook!

Dong-gu! Dong-gu!

It's not easy taking care of a quadriplegic man.

Your attitude's all wrong.

You can't work with that.

He opened his eyes!

Se-ha, are you okay?

Damn it,

I thought you were Father Park.

Sorry that you're still alive.

You okay? Are you in pain?

I got no sensation. How could I be in pain?

Where's Dong-gu?

They haven't found him yet.

Dude, I think he's at our old home.

Dong-gu...

Dong-gu!

What are you doing here? Mom's here...

Mom's here, are you hurt?

- Mom. - Yeah, baby.

Ta-da.

The motorized wheelchair you requested

just arrived.

See this straw thing? Bite it like so.

Then it'll move everywhere.

I like my wheelchair.

Think about us

who push you around all day.

Idiot Swimming Coach

What took you so long to answer?

Dong-gu's competing today.

You coming?

Why should I go there?

Go if you want to.

Who do you think he's competing for?

I know you don't mean it,

so just get over there. We got to help him finish,

and have another custody battle.

Cheer for him on my behalf. I'm hanging up.

Don't hang up! Don't!

Hey!

Okay, here. Here, this way.

Nice cold beer.

Here, here, good!

Come on, just a bit more!

You can do this! Almost home!

Almost there, here.

Goal, you did it!

Give it, you bastard.

Okay, okay.

Here it is.

Why? Something's on my face?

Oh, straw...

Clumsy me... Stay here, I'll get it from the kitchen.

Eh? There are plenty of straws here...

Se-ha?

Hey, wheelchair! Use the sidewalk!

You want to die?

Sidewalk, my ass!

It's got an engine and tires too!

Get to Geumcheon pool right away.

Dummy, Dung-gu, Dong-gu, swim!

Dummy, Dung-gu, Dong-gu, you're the best!

Gold Medal

Dong-gu, you asshole! Do your best!

Dong-gu.

Dong-gu!

Are you okay?

Geumcheon Sports Center

Siri.

Siri.

Siri...

Siri, you bitch!

I don't know how to respond to that.

Make a call, call the coach.

Idiot Swimming Coach!

Douchebag

Please leave a message

after the tone.

Ms. Nam, listen carefully!

Tell Dong-gu's mom to stand at the finish line.

Only then he'll finish the lap.

He's been looking for his mom even at the pool.

So make sure she's standing there.

If you don't do this,

I'm taking back your hours.

Swimmers, please get to your starting position.

Oh my, Dong-gu.

No, Dong-gu, don't. Dong-gu, please!

It's okay, don't do that.

Dong-gu.

Can you do this?

Should we just go home?

Let's go home.

Mr. Park, is something wrong?

I'm really sorry. I don't think he can do this.

We better just go home, I'm so sorry.

Dong-gu, don't do that!

What the hell are you doing?

I'm really sorry.

- Let's go home, Dong-gu. - Hey, wait!

Let's go home, that's a good boy.

Swimmers, get ready please.

You don't have to do this.

You want to do it?

Okay, okay, let's take this off.

Very good, that's it.

Are you okay?

You gotta win! Gold medal!

We'll now begin the match.

Dong-gu! You can do this! Good luck!

Ready.

Dong-gu, go over there and come back.

I'll stand right here.

Come here.

Mom's right here.

Come here, Dong-gu!

Dong-gu, you asshole! Swim!

Dong-gu!

Dong-gu.

Bro, I'll do better next time.

That's it!

Dong-gu, thank you.

Promise.

Seal.

Cabby.

Go! Dong-gu

Is it good?

Good, right?

Eat slowly.

Drink some water.

Bro!

Let's go home.

That's enough.

Drink one of these after drinking beer.

Try not to drink at all.

All ready!

We should go too.

Bro, eat ramen.

Hot.

Your turn.

Hello?

Dong-gu! How are you?

- Hello. - Yeah, hello.

- Why are you here? - To hang out.

It's clean.

- Clean up. - You cleaned up?

Yes, Dong-gu did.

Why are you eating ramen?

It's my payday, so I came to treat you.

Ta-da!

It's hot, really hot.

Beer, your beer.

Your favorite.

- Kimchi. - You want some too?

- Kimchi, kimchi. - Kimchi?

Yes, ramen.

Your beer.

Ramen.

It's hot, be careful.

Hot.

It's hot.

It's hot, one more bite.

- Bro, bro. - Bro?

That was in his mouth!

- Eat. - Tuna, tuna.
