Original subtitles

Just throw it out.

Let's buy a new one.

What about the money?

We can ask the landlord to pay for it.

I did.

He said he won't replace it.

He said to buy a new one and take it when we move.

Okay, then let's buy a new one.

If you need it, you buy it.

Me?

Let's split it.

Want some help?

No, I'll try to fix it.

Okay. I gotta go.

Who is it?

Registered mail.

Here.

Thank you.

Is something wrong?

You work part-time?

Yes.

You haven't reported your income of $1,200 a month.

Didn't the orphanage explain?

This happens a lot.

If I report my income now, can I still receive benefits?

Since you make $1,200 a month, you don't qualify for the benefits.

If you made less than $800,

you would receive housing and $300 in government support.

If I work less hours, can I remain a beneficiary?

No, you'll have to reapply for approval.

I'll need documents.

Credit card statements for the past two years,

certificate of current job loss, benefit application,

financial and credit information consent form,

proof of ID, and your lease agreement, please.

I see.

Ding-dong, ding-dong, clap, clap!

Hello, children.

Hi.

Look at what I've made for you today.

What is it?

What do you think? What do you think it is?

Let me read what it says here.

Recycling.

Recycling.

Don't spend all your time playing because your midterm projects are done.

Seniors, submit your daycare practical training plans soon.

- Understood? - Yes.

- Take care. - Bye.

I can't do that.

Please? Can't you help me?

I can't.

Just stop coming to work.

You don't have to pay me the full salary.

Don't do this.

Please? I need your help.

Just pay me $800. I'll work the same hours.

Ah-young.

I understand your situation, but what if the authorities catch me?

You won't be able to help me.

Just take your unemployment certificate. Okay?

JOB SEARCH WORLD

Don't push me.

- Don't kick off your shoes. - Hi, Ah-young.

I gotta pee first.

- What's this? - Why aren't you at work?

Come join us.

Ah-young. Didn't you miss me?

I saw you just last week.

So you don't wanna see me again?

- Sorry… - You're cold.

It's so pretty!

Give me your phone charger.

Why? Pay me back first.

It's been ages since we met.

Give me your charger, then I'll pay you.

Hey.

Nice room you've got here.

Get out.

Here you go.

What's this?

Isn't it cute?

I just want my money back.

Money! Money! Money!

What's with you, kid?

They say fish bring you good fortune.

Rich bastards breed goldfish like crazy.

Whatever. Just pay me back.

I started something new.

If that works out, I'll pay it all back.

Did you lose your job?

How come?

Want me to go yell at them?

Forget it. Just leave.

Shit.

Want me to find you a part-time job?

What's your major? Wiping shit off kids' asses?

Forget it. Just get out.

- Go play. - Okay.

I feel bad for you. Playing with colored paper…

- Sweep the floor first. - No. Who cares.

If you don't like it, leave.

Your turn, stupid.

Fold if you get less than $7,000 support pay.

- You're mean. - You don't get that much?

No. Just forget it, guys.

You should fold too. Don't cheat.

Like you know how much I get.

I do. You get the least. So, fold.

You're one to talk.

You live here thanks to Ah-young's support pay.

- I pay half the rent. - Stop it.

You fucking started this lame game.

Come on.

Stop swearing. Grow up, will you?

I swear because I'm a grown up. Kids shouldn't. Fuck.

You swore when you were a kid too.

I'm just playing. So snappy.

Got your period?

- Why, you! - Cut it out!

Forget it. Quiet. It's my turn.

Fold if you're wearing black.

Fuck. There.

- Isn't this black? - No.

My turn.

Fold if you've borrowed money from Aunt Jung-mi.

What jerk did that? That's why she doesn't take our calls.

You still keep in touch?

No.

You don't? You used to call her "mom" and all that.

What "mom"? Forget it. It's your turn.

Okay.

Fold if you don't know your surname clan.

I fold.

What's a surname clan?

You guys don't know?

Like Choi of Gyeongju and Kim of Andong.

Do you know?

I just pretend that I do.

I'm a Park of Seoul.

There is no such thing. I know that much, stupid.

Shit. You guys are so naive.

What are you wearing, anyway?

You're pathetic. This is in fashion right now.

If you were my kid…

You should thank me. I found you a job to wipe shit.

You can babysit, right?

You did that at the orphanage.

Whose baby?

Someone you know?

I don't know her personally.

The manager of a strip club I used to work for is asking.

That's okay.

Why?

I think it pays well.

It's just… you know.

Know what?

I'm hungry!

Forget it.

But what's the problem?

Stop looking at your phone so much. That's why the battery dies out.

Damn. It's down to 5% already?

What's your problem?

Huh?

I'm hungry.

You're Ah-young? You're younger than I thought.

Do you have your student ID?

Yes.

Come on inside.

Close the door behind you.

Leave it on the table.

Hyuk is in the room. Go and see him if you'd like.

Okay.

Hello.

Is there a Lee Ah-young enrolled at your school?

I found her wallet on the road.

I'm just wondering how I can return this.

She is? Great.

No, that's okay. Just give me her number, I call her myself.

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

What are you doing?

Your last four digits are 7315, right?

- Why'd you call my school? - That's right.

What? You're mad?

- Why are you mad? - I'm not mad, but…

But what?

You don't like it?

I just had to make sure you are who you say you are.

Would you let a stranger babysit your kid?

Probably not, right?

You'll pay me daily in cash, right?

What are you talking about?

I have to test you first.

I have to know whether you can take good care of a baby.

I have to see you at work and then decide, you know?

Could you change his diaper?

Right now?

Change it when he pees. Okay?

There, there. It's okay.

I know.

Good boy. What a good boy.

Mama.

All done.

You may leave. I'll be in touch.

What a good boy.

Things like this happen all the time.

What should we do then?

How about setting aside a day to buy a toy with the child?

How will it be decided? Once a week?

Or once a month?

Let's say we decided on once a month.

But something comes up on that day and we can't buy a toy.

Then what do we do?

I don't know.

What do you think, Ah-young?

Pardon me?

Will you answer me by text?

I'm sorry, Professor.

I wouldn't buy a toy.

Why not?

If I buy her a toy because she cries, it'll hinder her self-reliance.

That's a very theoretical answer.

But what if the kid won't stop crying?

What if they cry no matter how much you soothe them?

Then leave them.

Quiet down.

Since we can't abandon them, we should humor and calm them.

Any other opinions?

Feed him the ones in the fridge first.

Then give him the ones in the freezer in order.

I've written down all the dates.

- You do know how to feed him, right? - Yes.

Really?

Yes, I do.

How?

Warm the frozen packs, cool them, and feed them within two hours.

Once opened, it should be eaten within 30 minutes or thrown out.

I'm not pumping out any more breast milk.

This is the last of it.

Please be careful with it.

He cries like crazy if he wakes up during the night.

Give him this yellow pacifier.

He'll stop crying right away.

He loves yellow.

I can write down a daily childcare log. Do you have one?

No. Why? Do I have to?

No, not really.

I thought it would help me babysit Hyuk.

There's no such thing. You can write whatever you want.

Wait.

You're an orphan too, right?

It was just a guess. I heard Kyung-soo was an orphan too.

What's the big deal about being an orphan?

Don't get offended.

It doesn't mean I don't trust you with Hyuk.

I'm not an orphan.

I have parents.

I don't know where they are, but I do have parents.

That means you don't.

Anyway, let's start with $50 a day.

You're young and inexperienced.

If you're good, I'll raise it to $70.

It's probably for the best that you don't know where your parents are.

Good boy.

Pretty boy.

Oh my.

Are you okay?

There, there.

Hi, it's Ah-young.

Hyuk just threw up.

He throws up a lot.

He does it often.

You said you knew about these things. Don't call me about stuff like this.

If you drink, you throw up.

You throw up and drink again.

Do I look fat in this?

Yup.

AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

Young-chae.

- Come here. - Why?

- Come on out now. - I'm busy.

You crazy bitch. You're not busy.

Damn it.

Look at your clothes and hair.

How do you expect to be picked?

Get up.

I did get picked. I just said no.

Whatever.

I said get up.

Where are we going?

- What's the matter with you? - Come on.

I don't believe this.

Just come with me.

I don't have any money.

Why, you…

Let's go.

I have a loan to pay. I can't afford new clothes.

Listen to me.

If you want to make money, you have to get picked.

Think you can pay me back like this?

Then why lend money to a bitch like me?

Dumbass. Will you raise your kid on the streets?

Don't say you'll get married, study or start a business.

Don't get any such ideas and think of running off.

There's nowhere to run to.

Whatever.

Let's go.

- What are you doing? - Do as I say.

She's not in her 20s.

She should dress for her age. Who else will help her?

Here. If this doesn't fit, make it fit.

You're such a bully.

Want me to punch you?

There, there. What's this?

Please don't cry.

1:00 - Hyuk woke up and cried

Because I smell.

I drank way too much.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

I got it.

$50 in cash.

There you go.

Thank you.

Here's the childcare log. Read it when you can.

You really made a log?

You don't need to. It's probably the same old thing every day.

I'm so tired.

Hon?

Do you think I suck?

What?

Do my face and body suck?

You don't look like a mother.

That's not what I asked you.

Get home safe.

It's more and more common these days

for children to be left at childcare facilities.

So at what age should caregivers send their children to daycare?

Yu-jung?

These days, the role of a mother is often played by a caregiver.

According to Bowlby, it takes three years to build stable relationship with a child.

So I think it should be after three years of age.

Then all daycares that take in children under the age of three will go broke.

Anyone else?

If the caregiver is someone with depression or parenting stress,

I think it's better that the child is sent to a daycare at a younger age.

- What is it? - I…

May I use the stroller in the balcony?

- Got somewhere you need to be? - It's not that.

I thought I'd take Hyuk for a walk.

I hear it's good to show him many new things at this stage.

Go ahead.

Could you get my cell phone, please?

Who is it?

Huh?

It says "Bitch."

Crazy bitch!

Not again. Damn it.

- Are you leaving now? - Sorry?

Will you be going for a walk now?

Yes.

Let's go together.

What? You don't want to?

No. I didn't say that.

Let's go.

Good boy.

Don't stay out too long.

I gotta go make money.

Bye.

Oh, my!

What a pretty baby!

Thank you.

What's the baby's name?

Hyuk.

Right.

Are you the baby's mom?

No.

Right. Of course you're not the mom.

No. But who are you?

May I hold him once?

No. I'm sorry, but who are you?

If you're curious, call his mom.

Call that bitch Young-chae.

Before I report her for leaving her baby to work at a strip club,

I suggest you call her.

You have teeth now?

You've grown so much.

You couldn't even hold your head up when you were at the women's center.

Good boy. Come on, eat up.

You're home early.

After dodging all my calls.

Hey.

Are you crazy?

How dare you come here, bitch!

Put the knife down.

I just came to see Hyuk.

Why would you come to see him?

Then pay me.

- I said I'll pay you back. - When?

You crazy bitch. Just get out of here.

Don't tell me what to do.

Look, I could just report you to the cops.

Go ahead, bitch. Call the cops.

You make money off of selling kids. You won't call the cops.

- You said you'd sell him. - You told me to do it.

You fucking told me I should sell him, bitch.

You didn't have to listen to me.

Damn you, bitch.

- Get out. Go. - You can't do this to me.

- The hell I can't! Get out! - Let go, bitch!

Give me my shoes!

You owe me $1,200.

Deduct the interest, bitch.

What the hell!

What are you looking at?

Hey, why did you let a stranger in?

Damn it.

What did the bitch say?

That Hyuk has grown up a lot and she met you when volunteering at a women's center.

Volunteering, my ass!

She tries to get single mothers to sell their babies.

That damn bitch.

I'm swearing way too much today.

Were you really going to send Hyuk away?

You think I'm crazy?

I pretended to sell him, took the money and ran.

I did think about it, though.

What did that bitch say, again?

"How can you raise a kid by yourself?

Even bitches with good jobs can't raise kids by themselves.

Three out of ten single mothers at the center sell their kids."

That's what she told me, that he'd go to an orphanage otherwise.

What?

Never seen breast milk?

Why don't you wash up?

I can't.

It's my peak time at work.

You should study hard.

I'll go make money.

Damn it.

Hey.

What?

Come here.

You come here.

Just come out for a second.

What's wrong?

It's totally busted. Come out and see for yourself.

So just fix it. I fixed it last time.

Damn it!

Why won't it work?

Stop kicking it.

You told me to fix it.

Forget it. I'll do it.

Move. I'll do it.

Hey.

If you hit a few times, it'll work.

Stop kicking it.

I'm late.

Go to the laundromat then. Don't break it.

Don't tell me what to do! You're not my mom!

Damn it.

Why do you keep interrupting me?

- The manager wants to speak to you. - Hey.

- I don't believe this. - Let's go.

Wait.

You can't go now.

- I'll be right back. - Just a minute, sir.

Why is she leaving?

What are you doing?

What's your problem?

- Damn it. - Take the rest of the night off.

Are you insane, sis?

He just finished an entire bottle and was about to order more.

Stop yapping.

Take this and go home.

What is it?

Weaning cream?

It'll help you.

What?

Is it because I can't work two shifts?

What?

It's because it hurts.

If I stop making breast milk and it doesn't hurt, I can work more.

I bought it for you because I heard it would help.

What's going on with you?

The cops are coming.

Shit.

What about my pay?

Have I ever not paid you?

Just go. Don't tell the others.

Wait.

I knew you wouldn't come back.

- I'm sorry. I have to leave. - Hold on.

I don't have any bad intentions.

I'm just promoting my business.

LAWYER KANG SEUNG-WOO

I'm not a bad guy.

Just a lawyer, at your service.

Call me anytime.

Shall we go?

Take care, sir.

Hello?

I can't find you. Where are you?

Here.

Hyuk! My boy is here! He's sleeping?

- Had a good day? - Yes.

What's going on here?

A campus festival.

Show me around your campus.

There's nothing much to see.

Why not?

You said it's good to show him new things.

Do I embarrass you?

No, it's not that.

I don't know much.

Whatever.

I'm more embarrassed than you, silly.

It may seem good because the law supports underprivileged families,

but the distinction could hinder them from happiness as a normal family.

What are you doing?

Nothing. Let's go.

I was a good student back in school, you know?

It's true.

I didn't say anything.

I saw some older people in the class.

Can they study at that age?

Of course. Why not?

How do you know? You're not old.

They're learning because they can.

But I guess it'll be harder for some people.

Are you talking about me?

No.

I'm not.

It feels like you are.

Did you just smile?

No.

Aren't you curious why I work at a strip club?

Not really.

Really?

I don't like being asked questions.

Because it makes me think about why I made my choices.

Anyway, it makes me uncomfortable.

That's cool, I like that.

I'll use that sometime.

"I don't like being asked questions."

Would you do me a favor?

What is it?

Will you do it or not?

- I have to know what it is first. - Come on. Just help me.

Please?

Does it hurt?

A lot.

What should I do?

What can you do?

Just hurry it up.

This cream will help stop the production of breast milk.

- Now, the other one? - Yes.

Stay still.

I'm trying.

The cream is expensive. Don't spill it.

Boo!

Hey.

Don't you ever get scared?

I have some ointment at home.

I don't need it.

Who needs ointment for this shit? It's just a scratch.

Then go home. What are you doing here?

What do you mean?

Stuff can happen to you in life.

Am I wrong?

Is it not normal for shit to keep happening?

Fuck. Am I crazy or what?

Did you know Aunt Jung-mi quit?

You did. Fuck.

Did the bitch win the lottery?

Look.

She quit because it was hard on her.

Because of jerks like you who cause trouble and ask for money.

She quit because she couldn't take it.

Lend me some money.

Come on.

Wait.

I helped you find a job, didn't I?

Lend me just $1,000?

I'll pay you back.

I promise. Just lend me $1,000.

Hey.

Damn it.

Be sure to finish it on time.

Write down your answers well.

Come see me after the exam.

Okay.

You haven't submitted your internship plan yet.

What are you going to do?

Did you find a place to train?

I'm sorry. I've been busy these days.

Still, this is something you should do.

Could I do the internship after next semester?

You could, but then it'll be hard to get a job after.

Why not do it after the first semester, then get a job after the second semester?

Here.

It's a daycare I know well. Do your internship here.

It's in a good neighborhood, so it'll be easier.

Don't tell the others.

Thank you, Professor.

It must be hard to study while working.

It's okay. I should go.

Sure. If you need anything, you can come to me.

Thank you.

Come on. What is it?

Why are you crying?

What's wrong?

Is your diaper wet? I just changed it.

Hyuk. Hi.

Good boy.

Are you okay?

Where's your yellow pacifier?

Wanna go and look?

Where's your yellow pacifier?

It's okay.

Good boy.

He's like an animal.

Can't walk. Cries when he's hungry. Cries when he poops.

Cries when he's sleepy.

He cries non-stop.

Hyuk is at a sensitive stage.

I wrote about it in the log.

I didn't read it.

Sis.

I have to train at a daycare for about a month.

So you're quitting?

No.

I'll come back after a month.

I'll find someone to watch Hyuk while I'm away.

Why would you do that?

Okay. Find someone.

What in the world?

How old are you, ma'am?

She looks older than my wife.

Hey, you.

Fuck you!

Son of a bitch!

Here I am! Gotcha!

Good boy.

When did you start working? In your teens?

Yes.

How did you get into it?

I just happened to fall into it.

Why did you start?

I'm not sure.

Stop drinking. You always drink.

Right.

Stop talking.

You always defend people's cases. Save your breath.

Hey.

I'm home.

Look at Mommy, please?

Look at me.

I'm your mommy.

It's Mommy.

Don't like me?

Why do you hate me?

Where's Hyuk?

With the doctor.

We're not allowed in.

What did you do?

How could you let Hyuk fall off the bed?

I put him in his crib.

I put the bar up to make sure he doesn't fall.

I heard it click into place. I don't know how the bar came down.

I didn't do it.

I don't know how it happened.

See this line here?

It's a skull fracture, but there's no need to worry much.

Babies' bones heal within two weeks.

They break easily, but also heal easily.

I see.

One thing does concern me, though.

He must've bled and thrown up after the fall.

There was a lack of oxygen supply due to some blockage.

We'll keep under observation.

Mama.

Get out of here.

Sis? Is Hyuk okay?

Just go.

Damn it.

Sis?

Why are you doing this?

It's all because of you. It's your fault.

It wasn't me. I didn't do anything wrong.

Then I'm the one to blame?

Please, it wasn't me.

It's your fault. Now get lost.

That feels better, doesn't it?

Good boy.

Are there any other caregivers at home?

No. Why?

He's not completely healed yet and needs good care at home.

I'll take care of him.

Would you excuse us?

Let's wait outside.

I don't know if I should say this,

but you need to take care of yourself too.

Hyuk is poorly nourished.

Are you still breastfeeding him?

It can happen if the mother's milk isn't nutritious.

Please feed him baby food.

Okay.

$150?

It seems a bit high.

I'll call you back.

Hello. I came across your website.

Yes.

Is that the going rate?

I see.

Your name, please?

Park Young-chae.

Please check the amount and insert your credit card.

Is there anyone less experienced that I can hire for lower pay?

Ma'am?

It says "insufficient balance."

How much is it?

It's written here.

I'll call you back.

That doesn't look right.

I see you haven't registered his birth yet.

We still gave him 90% discount with your insurance.

How can it cost $1,200?

His fracture will heal on its own and everything else is normal.

How can it cost $1,200?

Maybe the nurse could explain it to you.

Hey. Where's Hyuk?

Can you zip me up?

What are you doing?

Don't hit me.

Go home. Don't leave the baby alone.

- Stop it. - Go.

Let go of me!

It's hard enough as it is! Stop it!

Do you know how much Hyuk's hospital bill was?

And it costs $150 a day to hire a babysitter.

I can't do this forever. I gotta work hard while I can.

I have to make money.

Well, who asked you not to?

Look at this.

No more breast milk. See?

I can take up the second shift. See?

Look.

Damn it.

Stop it.

You fool.

Damn it.

Look.

Did you think it'd be easy to work and raise a kid alone?

I told you to send him away a long time ago.

Fuck. This sucks.

Listen.

Life is hard.

Life is rough, so you gotta be tough.

Life is shit.

What are you, a philosopher now?

I can't do this shit anymore.

Sue her.

What?

Sue the damn babysitter.

I can't.

Why not? She's the reason Hyuk got hurt.

Get a settlement and take a break from work for a while.

Think you'll strike gold working in the state you're in?

Try it. Please eat.

Don't cry.

Eat the damn thing! Fuck!

Why won't you eat?

I'm so sorry.

Don't do that. You'll scare the fish. Let's play somewhere else.

- The fish is dead. - Right.

Ji-woo.

You should wash your hands.

- No! Silly monster! - Ji-woo.

Ji-woo.

Ji-woo. You have to wash your hands.

No way.

- You should wash your hands. - No way.

You must be the new intern. I'll do it.

- It's okay. I'll try. - Ji-woo. What's this?

Pee bugs. Oh, no! Let's get rid of pee bugs!

Let's go. Watch out.

Pee bugs.

Pee bugs? What's that?

I have no money.

I know.

That's why I'm suggesting that you settle.

Where's Young-chae? I want to talk to her.

You can talk to me instead.

Or you can hire a lawyer and take legal action.

But you have no money.

What happens if I don't settle?

Then go to trial.

But even if you do, it'll be hard for you to win.

It's hard for me as it is. Why are you doing this to me?

You made a mistake. You should take responsibility.

- I didn't make a mistake. - Then we'll go to trial.

This may sound weird.

But suing is not always the answer.

It's better to just settle and end things nicely.

Settle with her before it's too late.

Who's that?

Hi, honey.

You?

You cracked Hyuk's head?

Where's Young-chae?

Young-chae doesn't work here now.

Do you know where I can find her?

Say, how would you like to work here?

You got a pretty face.

If you play nice, you could make a lot.

I hear you owe Young-chae some money.

I'll pay the settlement for you.

I'm not working at a place like this.

Listen.

This is not anybody's dream job.

But after trying everything else and failing,

they come here.

Just like you.

Where's Young-chae?

Get out of here before I crack your head.

Hey.

Just go. I'm busy here.

Scram.

Police?

Hey!

You bitch!

Are you out of your mind?

If you call the cops, you think they'll just pay one visit and leave?

You know how much I have to pay them to stay away?

Tell me where Young-chae is.

You little bitch!

If not, I'll keep reporting you.

I'll post about this place on police and government websites.

So let me meet her.

What?

I don't believe this.

Jesus!

You little bitch.

Shit.

Did you kick it?

It seemed to work before when I did.

You can't just kick it around.

What are you, its dad?

It's obviously just old. What's the point in kicking it, stupid?

That's why I called you.

What's going on?

Kyung-soo says we broke it more. Can you believe that?

Did you kick it too?

- Why's he here at our house? - I called him here to fix it.

Hold on. I'll fix it.

You can't fix that.

What was I supposed to do? You said not to buy a new one.

Don't underestimate me, girl.

I took some tech classes.

Get out.

What's up with you? I called him here.

Why didn't you tell me? I live here too.

You think this is your house?

You think this is my fault?

Little Miss Perfect.

I'll leave.

Always so cold and brutal.

Just throw it out.

I tried but it can't be fixed.

Hey.

Jeez.

What?

This isn't your room.

Min-ji doesn't use the same charger. Why can't I borrow yours?

Are you mad?

I guess you are.

I'm sorry. Get over it.

Why don't we try and make our lives better?

I'm already doing that.

What?

How are you living better?

You always get beat up and ask to borrow money.

That's cold.

I may not be as well as you, but I'm fine. Don't worry.

Don't talk like Aunt Jung-mi.

I'm leaving.

Didn't you hear me?

Why do you keep stressing that this is your house?

I don't have a house.

I thought we're family.

See ya.

Damn it. It didn't charge at all.

You should buy a new charger.

Bye.

You must completely erase the work that was done before.

During the process, the cuticles could be damaged.

At worst, they could get burned.

So you must concentrate fully and do a very delicate job.

- Understood? - Yes.

I'll be right back. Sorry.

- You look well. Life's good? - Crazy bitch. Why are you here?

- I just need your signature. - I told you to mail it.

It won't take long.

Mailing it would take a few days.

This is the document you asked for.

This is what Hyuk's new parents requested.

Just sign it.

It's a confidentiality agreement. It's nothing.

You promise never to contact him.

You won't ask for further money. That's about it.

Just sign here.

What do they do?

The dad runs a small business. The mom is a housewife.

When will they take him?

They said they needed a few days.

Why? You wanna see him before he goes?

It's not a good idea.

It's best to go cold turkey, like when you quit smoking.

He'll find you when he's older anyway. Make some money in the meantime.

See you.

I'm sorry.

That's okay.

I was amazed by how neat your work is.

The teacher saw and complimented it too.

Really?

Have you done this before, Young-chae?

Just a couple of times.

With a little more practice, I think you could open your own shop.

Really?

- Keep practicing. - Thank you.

Now, let's move on to coloring the nails.

Yes.

What color would you like?

Yellow, please. It's my favorite color.

- I'll be right back. - Okay.

Let's see.

We're almost home.

It's okay. We're almost there.

Let's go inside.

Hey! Turn your damn lights on!

Mommy.

Careful. Wear your shoes.

- Hello. - Hi.

Stand here.

- Let's wear your shoes. - Find your own shoes.

- Please bring Ji-woo. - Sure.

Be careful. Slow down.

Where are you, Ji-woo?

Ji-woo. It's time to go home.

No. I don't want to go home.

Why? What's the matter?

Ji-woo.

Your mom brought you a treat. Let's go.

No. I don't want it.

Come on. It's your favorite.

- Let's go and take a look. - No.

- Let's go and see. You're so heavy. - No.

Please bring her bag.

- Let's go to Mommy. - No!

Hi, Ji-woo.

I'm sorry. I don't know why she's like this.

Kids do this all the time.

Ji-woo, let's go.

Here's her bag.

- Thank you. - Bye, Ji-woo.

Ji-woo, see you tomorrow.

Bye, ma'am.

Let's go, Ji-woo.

No!

Ji-woo must not like her mom.

Is that what you think?

Ji-woo's mom is very nice.

She's a college professor and a good mother to Ji-woo.

But since the kids spend more time with us,

sometimes they get more attached to us than to their moms.

It's gotten worse with Ji-woo.

What should we do, then?

Well…

Don't be too nice to the kids.

I'm not kidding.

I've gotten close to them already so it's too late for me.

It gets really awkward.

You take the call. I'll go inside.

Okay.

PARK YOUNG-CHAE

Stop staring at each other.

What is this?

You can't even walk. Someone needs to take care of you.

Shit.

Just go away.

Don't go.

Why? So you can kill yourself?

What are you talking about?

It's just a fracture. Get her out of here.

Just shut up.

What sane woman would drive without the lights on at night?

Get your head examined too. Just stay put.

- Sis! - Hey!

You take care of her things.

Throw them out or wash them in the laundry room.

Throw it out. Don't wash it.

- I'm leaving. - Take her with you.

Damn it.

Go.

Just leave.

Are you finished?

Didn't you hear me?

Where's Hyuk?

Is he at home?

No.

Hyuk is gone, so just go.

Damn it.

- Sis. - Stop following me.

You know that's illegal, right?

The dad is a business owner and the mom is a housewife.

It's better for him.

Why would someone like that adopt a baby illegally?

That's life. My life is full of illegal shit.

What if they give him up?

Do you know what will happen to him?

He'll be sent to an orphanage.

Then he'll be made fun of. He'll have a tough life there.

Do you know how crazy hard that is?

Everyone has it hard. Who doesn't?

Life is hard.

Life is rough, so you gotta be tough.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you care? He's not your baby.

Who are you to tell me what I should do with my kid?

You said it was my fault.

No, it was my fault.

I forgot to raise the guard bar.

So it's my responsibility. Now just go.

I can't.

We'll pay for everything.

Please investigate his death.

We can't do that without the family's consent.

We have to classify him as someone without family.

- Your orphanage director can't come. - What happened?

Kyung-soo didn't kill himself, but they say he did.

There can't be a funeral without a guardian,

so he'll be taken to be cremated.

That's insane.

Jong-hwan?

Ah-young.

You're in touch with Aunt Jung-mi, right?

Can you call her and ask her to come?

Why do you keep telling us to go away?

Go away.

Where is our brother?

Let me talk.

Kyung-soo didn't commit suicide.

I found pills at his house. Did you guys know about that?

He's been taking pills for depression for years.

How does that prove he killed himself?

Did you even investigate?

He's not the type to kill himself.

I already checked with your orphanage director.

Just go.

She's not our director.

- She's new. - Damn it.

We've had enough.

- Just go. - Please. Let us see him just once!

Don't push us!

Just get out of here!

Are you Kyung-soo's family?

You're not.

But his parents are dead.

You little…

We're Kyung-soo's family.

We grew up together since we were young.

Don't say he has no family.

We're his family.

I don't believe this.

Please let us hold his funeral.

Look, it's the law.

If it were up to me, I would have let you. But I don't have the authority here.

You think this is easy for me?

Fuck!

You wanna get into trouble?

Want to be charged for obstruction of justice?

- Throw us in jail. Damn it! - Just go.

Damn it.

Hi.

Can you come, Aunt Jung-mi?

I see.

Was it her?

So? Is she coming?

She can't.

Damn it.

I knew it. Shit. What family.

She said there's nothing she could do even if she comes.

Still. She should come. How could she not?

Don't yell at me.

- It's Kyung-soo, isn't it? - No.

Fuck! Don't take him away!

Wait.

Stop them!

Stop!

Damn it.

Kyung-soo.

Please open the door.

You wanna die?

Open the door.

Kyung-soo!

Go away.

- Let us hold his funeral. - Move.

Mister.

Your parents didn't abandon you.

This is unfair!

Let's go.

Kyung-soo!

Kyung-soo!

Hey, Lee Ah-young!

That's her.

She's the one who hit me.

She's really strong.

I look good in this wheelchair, don't I?

What are you doing?

I'm having a drink.

Who says I only drink at night?

Where's your phone?

No one's gonna call me.

Stop nagging and drink with me. Can you drink?

Stop it.

Let's go inside.

No way. I don't want to.

What are you doing?

Sorry. My ride is here.

Slow down.

You're still here?

Will you really send Hyuk away?

Don't you have a boyfriend?

Right. You should be careful of who you date.

Don't date a guy who's gonna die early, and then end up like me.

Have his fortune read before you date him. Mark my words.

I know a good fortune teller named Master Ja-pyung.

Know what he told me?

I have bad luck with three things.

With a dad, a husband, and a son.

He's right on the mark. Isn't that amazing?

So this is inevitable.

It's not inevitable.

How is it inevitable?

What's gotten into you, anyway?

Why isn't the alcohol helping with constipation?

I can't poop, so just go.

Sis?

And don't come back.

I'm serious.

Seeing you reminds me of him. So don't come back.

You got that?

Ninth floor. Going down.

BITCH

- Is adoption possible? - Yes. A boy or a girl?

A boy.

2-month-old boy for $1,500.

Is there a 6-month-old boy?

He's taken, but you can have him for $3,000.

May I see his picture?

Shit. Why won't she pick up?

Is she buying…

There, there.

Is she buying or not?

Good boy.

Let's go home.

Why won't the bitch answer the phone?

I'm sorry. I was busy with something.

Fine. I'll take $500 off.

There's nothing wrong.

How about this evening?

Okay. Take care.

Damn bitch.

Don't cry.

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

Stop!

Why, it's you!

Did Young-chae send you?

Let us go.

The hell I will!

What a crazy bitch.

Hey.

Put him down now.

Please let us go.

You bitch.

Put him down or else…

Let go.

Damn it.

Shit.

I told you to put him down, didn't I?

Do you know how bad it is to leave a child with a mom who can't raise him?

It's bad for both the kid and Young-chae.

If you take him,

you think Young-chae would like it?

Mommy.

Just go.

Mommy.

Sis? Where are they?

He cried out of hunger, but I put him back to sleep. Be quiet.

Stop. Come back!

She's out of her mind.

Where is she?

Take him back.

Listen.

If I have to raise Hyuk,

I have to drink and be back to work here.

How is that good for us?

What if he goes to daycare or school,

and the kids tease him because his mom works at a strip club?

What if they point fingers at him?

So what if they do?

So what if he grows up like that?

Lots of people raise kids in worse situations.

Don't think that only your life's hard.

Sis.

Why won't you stop?

I'll help you.

You're not a bad person.

Let's raise him together.

Are you crazy? Wanna ruin both our lives?

That makes no sense.

I'll help you.

I promise, I'll help you.

Please don't abandon Hyuk.

I swear I'll help you.

What do I do…

Hey. Come and taste this.

I haven't cooked in ages.

Did you add salt?

Why?

Why add salt to baby food?

What the hell?

I don't know how kids are raised these days,

but we added salt in my days, you know?

My kid ate hot peppers before he was weaned.

You'd be shocked to see how well he grew up.

Maybe you should've eaten some too.

Why'd you cook so much?

It's not just for Hyuk. We need to eat too.

It's good.

What's that?
