Sweden Laundry

Episode 3 How to Launder Clothes to Find out the Truth

You are Bom, right?

Don't make yourself look desperate.

Get a hold of yourself.

Still...

maybe it's a sign that I should make a dash at my first love...

[Ten years ago]

He should have given back the ticket if he wasn't going to come.

Why did he not show up without saying anything?

Was it because I was a student?

I spent a lot of money on this hair, so I can show him.

What if he doesn't see me as an attractive girl?

I think I look pretty good.

Still...

it might be possible if I try.

No?

Possible?

No?

Move that pig foot.

Mother, I'm here.

Welcome.

Welcome...

- You didn't eat breakfast, right? - I didn't.

Someone gave us fermented soybean paste, so I made delicious stew.

That's why I invited you to breakfast.

- Thank you for everything. - It's nothing.

What about Eun Chul?

He went to the mineral spring.

He's getting weak from using his brain too much.

I told him to go for a walk.

Mom, I'm late...

Hello.

Hi... oh yeah.

I saw that drama.

But I didn't see you.

She died choking on rice cakes on the last episode.

I know she's my daughter but truthfully, that acting was just...

It was so real...

You should watch it on rerun.

I'll do that.

I'm late.

Okay.

She's taking a break, and getting acting lessons these days.

I'll drop her off at the subway station.

You should start eating. Eun Chul will come soon.

Okay.

We should eat all together when you come back.

- Should we? - Yes.

- I'll be right back. - See you soon.

I got cramps on my legs!

Mom!

Bom!

Is something wrong?

Hurry!

I have cramps! Hurry!

Hurry!

I have cramps!

Right there.

Do it harder! You idiot...

Are you okay?

Where's my brother?

Stay still. Your muscles are all cramped up.

I'm okay.

I'll do it.

Stay still. This is bad.

I'm okay. I'll take care of it.

I'll help you. Come here.

No, don't come.

Don't come!

Bom, are you okay?

I told you I'm fine.

She's so strange.

She keeps getting cramps sleeping in that small space with her butt in the air.

I wonder if that girl will even be able to get married like that.

But why does she sleep underneath the desk, and not on her bed?

Does she sleep walk?

It's suspicious if she does strange things in her sleep.

Whatever it is...

it's been a while since she's been getting cramps in her legs sleeping in weird places.

Don't worry about her. Just eat.

Here.

Mother.

Please give me some mackerel, too.

Okay.

Not the dark back.

Give me the white belly meat.

I'm sorry.

I'm not going to eat this.

Okay.

Why isn't this girl coming out?

Bom!

Bom!

Bom, you did your hair.

Bom, let's eat together sometime.

Why bother? Don't worry about her, and eat.

Did he see this?

Whatever.

Still, he noticed that I changed my hair.

Wait.

I think he said we should eat sometime.

Why?

Forget it...

I'm sure he meant nothing by that.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

Yes, I'll be right there.

Okay.

I'm sorry for making you wait.

No, it's okay.

These three need to be washed, and this needs to be ironed.

Next time, give me your socks too. Don't leave them rolled up in the corner.

I'll do it for free.

It's okay. I can't do that when you come all the way here for me.

You should keep that clean.

Thank you as always.

Take care.

Okay, bye.

There are a lot of people here.

I should do some marketing while I'm here.

Hello.

I'm from Sweden Laundry.

I'm from the laundromat. Emergency laundry, too.

Hello, I'm from Sweden Laundry.

The general manager's gone. Should we get coffee?

Should we?

Let's go.

Okay.

My treat.

I'm from Sweden...

I want tiramisu...

Hello.

I'm from Sweden Laundry. Please call.

You can't get rid of it like that.

The laundromat looks like a cafe.

I wanted emergency customers like you to wait comfortably.

We specialize in emergency laundry.

You can have a cup of coffee over there.

Okay. Thank you.

Sorry.

You got coffee all over you.

Who told you to stand there?

I hear General Manager Kim and Ms. Kim are seeing each other.

Ms. Kim's promotion was all possible because of General Manager Kim's support.

People like Ms. Kim who lure their bosses with their looks...

They should really get lost.

I'm working right now.

What's this?

Did she resign because of an unfair situation?

But...

Who's the pregnant lady?

Yes, Jung Hwan.

What?

What do you mean rethink our marriage?

I said that wasn't true.

You don't believe that rumor too, do you?

How is that my fault?

I'm going to quit after we finish the project.

Fine.

Hang up.

Here.

I think the stain is all gone.

Yes.

How much money do you need to open a store like this?

You want to open a laundromat?

No, just a store.

Nothing in particular.

Why would you when you have a stable job with a salary?

The economy is bad, so it's really hard these days.

Still, you must have peace of mind.

Getting accused and misunderstood...

I'm sure you don't get treated unfairly.

If that's why...

can't you try to explain yourself?

In the corporate world...

Rumors are more powerful than the truth.

Look at this.

Nothing for two weeks.

Every week, it's 115,384 won...

So for two weeks, that's...

230,768 won.

Here.

Spring.

You don't know how to talk?

Your lips are sealed?

Say something.

It's only been a month since the store opened.

It was hard with all the expenditures.

Just this once, my friend.

Let go.

Hey.

Who would give you a one percent interest rate?

It's at least three percent these days. I was doing you a favor as your friend.

You...

if you keep this up, you'll have to give up a part of your body.

Return everything you borrowed by next week.

So cold.

The world is a cold place.

You should thank me for teaching you a lesson at a cheap price.

Whatever.

As soon as I pay you back, I'm gonna cut all ties with you.

Do as you wish.

I feel like soju with some hot soup...

It must really be winter.

I need to develop a game character soon.

You are not making a profit because that bum is hanging around here.

I told you I'm not a bum.

Drinking coffee, using electricity, using water, eating candy...

Don't you think all that money is being wasted?

If you have money to spare on that bum...

you should pay me back.

There are customers who come because of me.

After all the marketing I did for the laundry...

I have a lot of connections.

Then go ask them to take you in.

You are nothing but a bum.

I told you I'm not a bum!

I'm sorry, Yong Soo Chul.

She would make so much money if I stayed here.

That damn 'M.P.' or 'Bem P'... ('snake')

What an evil girl.

Where am I going to work on my project now?

So cold.

So good.

First you give me the sickness, and now the cure?

You were just on my back telling me to pay you back.

Why are you buying me dinner?

Who said I'm buying?

The owner here can't pay me interest either, so he's giving me dinner.

I need to eat at least two dishes to get my interest's worth.

Such a scary girl.

What happened to your noodle loyalty?

That's all in the past.

If you aren't going to eat this, I'll eat it.

No.

It's all mine. You can't have it.

- She's really something else, right? - Seriously, that's no joke.

That's not all. Come here.

Look.

This is the picture she took next to the general manager at our team dinner.

Look at the angle, it's the same.

The general manager's out. Should we get coffee?

Oh my God...

Since college, she always had guys all around her.

She was a gold digger even back then.

How did you see her college pictures?

Hey...

If you are on social media these days, it's so easy to do a background check.

Seriously...

Maybe she's lying about everything.

Maybe she's just a gold digger.

She looks like one.

Do you know them?

So that's how they've been finding out about her and mistreating her.

Why are they doing that?

They have nothing better to do?

If you want to find out about someone, social media sites are the best.

That's why celebrities are going through a lot these days.

Still, you can't judge a person by looking at a picture.

That's so unfair.

You make everything so difficult.

You're home?

Yes, my hopes and dreams. Eun Sol, come and sit here.

If you see Ki Joon around, you should greet him happily

and say hello... what's wrong with you?

How are you ever going to get close to him?

Get close to him?

He's so old.

Don't you think he already has a girlfriend?

Girlfriend?

I guess... He's a good catch after all.

Eun Chul.

Does Ki Joon have a girlfriend?

I don't know.

We never talked about that.

Yeah?

You don't know?

I think there's a girl he talks to on the phone...

He does?

She likes him?

But I think they are just friends.

- Then he doesn't have one. - She must be an alumni.

But they do appear to be close.

So are you saying he has a girlfriend or not?

I mean...

It seems you don't know anything about your close friend.

I just feel bad that you may be the only one who thinks you two are close.

Is she drunk this early in the evening?

He easily asks a girl to dinner...

I'm sure he has a girlfriend.

Maybe not...

It's hard to become a doctor...

He probably didn't have time to meet a girl, having to study all the time.

If you want to find out about someone, social media sites are the best.

Article 329, Theft.

Punished by imprisonment or fine not exceeding 10 million won.

So handsome.

So cute.

This must be his school in the U.S.

He's better looking than the westerners.

Bo Bae?

She's here again.

What's this?

She's here again.

Wait.

Shared between friends only!

What do I do?

Eun Chul's?

Password 555?

You are so simple-minded.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Family members should respect each other's privacy, too.

Hey.

Turn your head.

You can never find out.

Why did I say that out loud and get caught?

Wait... What's his password?

It can't be this...

Awesome.

It's pointless eating all that medicine.

You are under my control.

How old is she?

They were in contact even when he was in the U.S.

Why are they so close?

They ate steak together?

Let's go in.

I found it.

What's this?

She's Ki Joon's uncle's daughter.

What did I do all night?

No.

I was wondering if you like me.

I can track visitors on my blog.

You visited 198 times last night.

Eun Chul...

You don't like me like that, do you?

This happened while I was in the U.S., too.

What are you talking about? I like girls.

And I always sleep between the hours of 10 and 12.

That's when your stamina drops, and your mind slows down.

It's easy to fall asleep then.

You think I visited your blog then?

Okay.

What's wrong?

What did Ki Joon say?

He has a problem with his stamina?

He says I visited his blog 198 times last night.

And he asked me if I like him.

His IQ is lower than mine, too.

Maybe someone stole your ID.

Who?

Why?

I got hacked?

Yeah.

I'm going to report this to the cyber police.

No.

It's not like you're a celebrity. Why are you doing this?

Maybe if it was Eun Sol... Don't you agree?

Right.

You are just a regular citizen.

Just ignore it. I'm sure it's nothing.

Yeah.

Yeah, there must have been a glitch.

My hopes... don't get overworked like an amateur.

Just eat.

Eat your food, first.

The medicine won't be as effective.

Here.

Your vitamins.

Do you have 10,000 won?

Don't start with me. I'm not in the mood.

Here you go.

I was going to stop by on the way to work.

Sorry, I woke up late because I drank too much at the school reunion last night.

It's okay.

I'll get going. Please call again.

How am I supposed to take care of something that happens at another's work place?

The door is closing.

I'm sure.

General manager's status is 'I'm tired'.

And Ms. Kim put a picture of a shot glass on her blog last night.

What do you think that means?

The two must have drank all night last night.

Do you think they just drank all night long?

And I heard her fiancee broke off their engagement.

Would you marry someone rumored to be cheating with a married man?

I don't think that's it.

The general manager drank at a reunion last night, he wasn't with Ms. Kim.

The GM must be going after girls in their 20s.

I think he's got something with the laundry girl, too.

What is she, his wife? She brings his clothes every day.

I knew something was up between them.

What did you just say?

I didn't say anything.

You think I'm an idiot?

You!

How dare you yell at me?

Hey!

Go outside, and yell out 'Laundry!'

What did you say?

Let go!

What's this?

Come out.

I'm going to make a fool out of you.

Let go.

Hello?

Spring!

I'm busy, can you get me my blouse?

Someone's pulling out all my hair. I said, call me later!

Let go!

You!

I told you to let go.

I'm going to pull out all this bitch's hair. Call me later!

Hi Ki Joon.

Right now?

Okay.

This bitch!

Did something happen?

No, nothing happened.

Maybe he really wanted to eat with me.

Why did it have to be now?

Director...

Here.

I called to ask you to wash the uniforms.

Mother said I should call you.

I see.

When will it be finished?

I'll do it quickly.

I'll get going then. You seem busy.

Bye.

So he didn't mean anything by that...

Bom!

Yes?

Your mother will be worried.

Don't go around fighting.

Okay.

Yeah.

Why else would Ki Joon look for me other than to wash clothes?

Spring.

Don't get your hopes up.

He didn't mean it when he said we should go out to eat.

My head still hurts.

How am I supposed to take care of this?

I just want to drink soju with hot soup, and erase everything from my head.

I wonder what Young Mi is doing.

Noodles, one more time.

Young Mi.

This is insane.

Young Mi.

Young Mi sent me a text that reminded me of that day.

[One day in 2006]

Did you see the Music Show?

- I did. - Did you see Big Bang?

They got number one.

- It's all thanks to Kwon Ji Yong. - No way, it's Seung Ri.

- He's so handsome. - Yeah, right. He's so short.

Who harassed my Spring?

Who's the one who pulled my friend's hair because she ordered extra noodles?

Was it you?

You are dead.

Let go.

What's this?

Stop.

Let go.

Whenever anyone would bother me, Young Mi attacked them, ready to see blood.

It's been ten years.

But our friendship hasn't changed at all.

That crazy bitch from the laundry...

It hurts.

Seriously...

It must be you.

What the heck!

Who are you?

You are the bitch that pulled Spring's hair, right?

What's with you?

Who?

You want to know who I am?

I'm her friend.

You're dead.

Who told you to bother my friend?

Why are you doing this?

Why am I doing this? Mind your business, lady!

Let her go.

Did you hit me?

Young Mi!

Bom!

How dare you hit my friend!

We shouldn't have done 'one more time'.

What do I do?

Hey, don't get scared.

I texted all the guys I know.

Why were you girls doing that in someone else's office?

Write that you'll pay for all the broken property, and sign here.

Mister.

Let her go.

You should go.

Just me?

What about you?

It's nothing good. Why should we both stay?

I'll take care of it.

Go.

Hey.

This happened because of me.

Why should you take care of it?

In the past...

the noodle incident was because of me, too.

You are the only one who got in trouble.

Why do you keep doing this for me?

Because we are friends.

No.

I won't go, either.

Just go.

Your family already treats you badly.

You want them to treat you even worse?

Young Mi.

I take back what I said.

What?

When I said that I would cut all ties with you.

I take that back.

You are my friend forever.

Why are you being so corny?

Just go, you bitch!

Go.

How can I go by myself?

Wait.

Neither one of you can go.

You can't go until someone comes to get you out.

Both of you.

What?

Then, I can't go?

Mr. Policeman.

I already texted everyone.

So you can go when someone comes.

I texted Chang Soo... Did he check it?

He checked it, why isn't he replying?

Is he avoiding me?

What do we do?

We can go.

Sir...

Sign here.

Can't you just say that you know us?

I recognized you right away.

My good looks are hard to miss.

Rascal! You should stay for dinner.

- Bum. - Yong Soo Chul.

I guess he's coming into good use.

That bum must really have good connections.

I guess so.

How did he appear at just the right time like that?

Right...

Last time, when you caught that pickpocket, he appeared out of nowhere, right?

Yeah.

Maybe the two of you were meant to be...

I was just wondering.

Crazy girl.

If it weren't for me, the two of you would have been in trouble.

You must be so thankful, right?

No.

Yes, thank you.

But...

How do you know the captain of the police station?

My mother's church's deacon's close friend's brother...

He must be the brother.

No, he's the brother's neighbor's brother-in-law.

Then...

He's not close to you at all.

Most people would call that a stranger.

That's true but...

I've got such charms that people want to see me again and again.

I told you.

I have really good connections.

I guess that's true.

That's why I'm saying...

Do you want to be part of my networking?

The reason I came over before...

Over there.

Can we share the place?

I'm not going to stay for free.

I have a steady job.

I can pay the electricity bill and the internet bill.

Hey.

Why are you hesitating?

He's pretty useful. Keep him around.

And...

He's younger than you, so talk down to him.

Yeah, let's be comfortable around each other.

Not you, just me.

You lied to me about your age. You little rascal.

Youngster.

How could you cause such a ruckus...

I'm going to use a different laundromat.

Stop coming here.

I lost a customer. What the heck is this?

What do I do?

I'm so excited.

See you tomorrow. Bye.

Bye.

What's the security guard doing?

We asked him to get rid of the solicitors.

Excuse me.

Let's talk.

Why?

Should I call the cops again?

I have something to say.

How dare she ignore me...

Grandma, do I really have to do this?

She doesn't even want to talk to me. How am I supposed to take care of this?

What am I supposed to do?

Fine.

I'll do it!

How am I going to convince her?

Take your time to look around.

Son Hye.

Come here.

Wait.

After that bomb shot last night, I don't feel so good.

Okay.

I'm working right now.

Let's drink again later.

Excuse me.

Can we check your bag?

My bag?

Yes.

What's this?

You think I'm a thief or something?

The alarm keeps ringing.

We'll just check.

Excuse me, can you turn off that alarm?

My baby is getting scared.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Son Hye, go turn it off.

I'm so annoyed.

Fine.

But if I didn't steal anything, I'm going to sue you.

Okay, let us just check.

Oh my God.

Why is this here?

Sue us?

What nerve!

Maybe she's responsible for the theft a few days ago.

I know.

She must be a repeat offender.

What do you mean? It's not me.

And I don't know about this scarf, either.

You work at the company out front, right?

I'm going to go there, and tell everyone that you're a thief.

Watch and see.

Excuse me.

I think you've got the wrong culprit.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

I saw her.

She put that scarf in her bag.

What are you doing? Let go.

What's this?

This is from our store.

What's wrong with your stomach?

What?

What's wrong with your stomach?

What?

Oh my God... She's a thief.

Shouldn't we call the cops?

- Give me. - I don't have anything.

Son Hye, call the police.

Why did you do that?

You could have let me become a thief.

I really wanted to.

But...

that wouldn't be the truth.

You saw how people were convinced you were the thief and took videos of you, right?

Can you imagine?

What would happen if they uploaded that all over the internet?

Now...

I hope you will reveal the truth too.

I did it.

Did you see?

Stupid.

I said talk to me respectfully.

Okay, fine.

Please, are you stupid, please?

Give it to me. Don't do it.

You are so bad.

Hello.

I'm on my way to the laundromat.

I spilled something again.

I think I can take care of that quickly.

You look very happy.

Really?

Listen.

That thing on the company's homepage...

I wrote that.

I told everyone...

that it's not the truth.

But why did you do that?

We were colleagues.

You worked well...

and our superiors liked you.

I was jealous.

That's why... while I was looking at your pictures on the blog...

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it would hurt you that much.

Please forgive me.

Here.

It's clean now, right?

It is.

Thank you.

It looks good on you.

Thank you.

I think it's scary.

Talking about other people when you don't even know the truth.

That's witch hunting.

I know...

This world is quick to believe in rumors without searching for the truth.

I think it's because the truth is hidden, and hard to see.

Truth is like an onion.

No matter how much you peel, it's not easy to know.

That's why people used to say that I was an onion-like girl.

You?

Yes.

When I was young, I broke many of the young men's hearts in the village.

They thought I was an elegant lady, but once peeled, I was a sexy girl.

After more peeling, I was a cute girl... More peeling...

Stop.

I'm getting sick.

Please stop, Grandma.

So what I'm trying to say is...

If you want to get to know someone, you should approach them personally.

It becomes a problem because people just want to use their fingers to quickly find out the truth.

If you want to know someone, you should approach them personally.

What if the other person finds out about your feelings?

Why?

You have feelings you don't want others to find out about?

Still...

I like secretly looking at him like this better.

Why is his picture so small?

Oh, no...

I called him.

What do I do?

What do I do?

I just wanted to look at his picture.

What if he calls back?

What do I do?

He's calling.

What do I do?

You pick it up.

Come on.

Pick it up.

Come on say, 'Meow.'

Here.

Here.

Hold on.

Yes.

Bom, why did you call, and just hang up?

It's not like that...

You see...

What is it?

Why did you say you wanted to eat with me, and not do it?

What's this?

The food is all ready. Why isn't he eating?

Are you supposed to wait awhile before eating in places like this?

Aren't you going to take it?

What?

Women usually take them first when the food comes out.

I'm waiting for you.

I guess women are supposed to eat first.

Okay.

No.

I meant aren't you going to take pictures?

Pictures?

I don't take pictures of things like that.

Really?

Girls these days usually take pictures of the food before eating.

I guess you are different.

Yeah, I don't like doing that to food.

Maybe I should have said that I do take pictures.

I'm sorry.

Not calling you after saying that we should eat.

I apologize.

No.

You don't need to apologize.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

I'm sure there are a lot of expenses after opening up your business.

Yeah, it's like that.

If you want to eat something, call me any time.

You are Eun Chul's sister. I'll buy you any time.

I didn't ask you to buy me dinner because I don't have money.

I mean...

You said that we should eat together once.

A promise is meant to be kept.

That's why...

Really?

I don't like breaking promises, either.

I guess we have something in common.

Huh?

Yeah, I guess.

We have something in common.

Are you okay?

I want to take you home, but I need to go back into the hospital.

It's okay.

I've been living here for many years.

I can find my way with my eyes closed.

I'm not worried that you'll get lost.

I'm worried it'll be dangerous.

I'm really used to walking home in the dark.

I walked around so much after drinking...

I like that you are spirited.

But think about your mom, and go home early.

Text me when you get in.

Okay.

Thank you for the dinner.

I'll get going.

Why did he tell me to text him?

Is he worrying about me?

Hello?

He looks good talking on the phone, too.

He's the best.

To Korea?

Yeah, I'll be there soon.

You'll come out to the airport, right?

Of course.

I'll have to clean the house first, and make room for you.

As Grandma said, truth is like an onion.

Peeling and peeling...

Sometimes, it makes you cry.

Cut! Do it again.

Again!

Instead of talking about others, worry about yourself.

I'm sorry.

Are you taking her money?

Hey! Kim Eui Sun!

Getting a good job...

Becoming a public service worker... is that the only dream to have?

I tried and gave it my all.

Can I go to your film set tomorrow?

If you prepare lunchboxes for the staff at the set...

They'll love you.

They won't hate you.

Bom...

Do you want to close early and have some soju?

Grandma, I have a dream too.

Will it work out if I try?
