[cicadas buzzing]

[scraping]

[Mr. Kim] Another one?

Just how many of them are coming after us?

Don't you know how huge America is?

They must have, like,
thousands of soldiers.

[Mr. Kim] And are they all coming here?

[Mozasu]
Who knows?

But better to be
ready than sorry. Don't you think?

[Mr. Kim]
That's right. You have a point.

[sighs]

But where's your brother?

I'm surprised he's not
on this mission with you.

Probably wandering around on his own.

If he's not with that jerk,

then he's reading one of those
boring books from Mr. Koh.

Really, he's become no fun!

I see you're feeling sore about things.

I mean, I don't know
what the point of living here is

if you're not going to have any fun.

I see. But you should know this.

Noa's head of the household now.

That's as much of a burden
as it is a privilege.

What kind of burden is there

when he always gets the first
in everything?

He does,

but when he's older,

taking care of the family
is his responsibility.

No room for failure for the older brother.

You probably can't yet see what I mean,

but believe me, yours is the easier life.

I know this well.

All right, get at it.

- [wood thuds]
- [in Japanese] I got it!

You had the better angle.

Excuses of a coward.

[Minoru stammers]

[grunts]

There's more snakes around here.

I'll show you who the real coward is.

You know,

if the war keeps on like this,

we could live out here forever.

I wouldn't mind that.

Don't you want to get home?

I guess.

But I don't want to go back to school.

But you were so popular.

[chuckles]

I suppose it's not school
as much as my father.

He's never passed an exam in his life,

but if I don't get the highest marks,
he's out for my blood.

And with you
at the top of the class this year,

I was always in trouble with him.

You should have seen his face
when my brother told him you were Korean.

He used both fists on me that night.

Hey!

Imagine if Ogawa-sensei saw us now.

He'd rub his eyes,
thinking there must be a mistake.

What's wrong?

So we're friends now?

Listen.

I know I was terrible to you.

And, well,

I'm sorry for it.

Can we be friends now?

[sighs]

[grunts]

Here.

[Noa chuckles]

[inhales sharply]

Leave them alone.
They're about to break out of their skin.

To become what?

Who knows?

But they'll reveal themselves soon.

They're creepy.

[foreman speaking Japanese]

[Kyunghee] Thank you. But--

[Mr. Kim] Is there a problem?

None of your business. What do you care?

[Kyunghee] Mr. Kim is right to scold me.

I should get back to my work.

Fertilizer's on the truck.

Unload it before I get back.

[vehicle approaching]

[Kyunghee, in English]
Sunja, what is it?

[whimpers]

- [both crying]
- Oh, Mother!

[speaking indistinctly, crying]

You're here.

["Wait a Million Years" plays]

[song fades, ends]

[person breathing deeply]

[reporter speaking indistinctly
in Japanese]

- ...students threw rocks,
- [gasps]

temporarily holding off the army.

But shortly after 1:00 a.m., when
the excitement of the crowd reached...

[line ringing]

[Solomon] I'm away from the phone.
Please leave a message.

- [message beep]
- Solomon, are you there?

It's been a while
since I've heard your voice.

Call me when you're not busy.

Oh, it's your grandma.

[gasps]

[Mozasu]
Grandma.

Was the boat really big?

[Sunja's mother] No, not that big.

[Mozasu]
Did it at least have a sail?

No sail.

No sail either.

The boat was quite small.

Especially when you consider
how many of us were on board.

All of us were crammed in
so tightly against one another

with those strong swells crashing over us.

The long journey to come here...

It was difficult.

I really want to ride on a boat someday.

Why?

Where would you like to go?

Africa.

Africa?

That must be far.

Really far.

In my manga books,
I got to see a picture of a lion.

A big one! And it looks so ferocious.

I want to see one for myself one day.

[in Japanese] A lion?

[in English]
A lion.

Ah. A lion.

Lion.

Noa.

Mozasu.

Listen here.

You must never forget that you are Korean.

Korean to the bone is what you are.

If we weren't Korean,
then who would we be?

Yes, you're right. Exactly.

Mozasu, sit. Let's eat.

Noa, will you say the prayer tonight?

[Noa] Dear Heavenly Father,

we thank you for the meal
which you have provided us.

And we thank you for bringing our
grandmother here safely over from Busan.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray.

- Amen.
- [others] Amen.

[gasps]
It's too much. Give some to the boys.

[Sunja]
You should eat.

Eat, mother.

[Mozasu] Grandma, in your honor,

Auntie asked the foreman

if we could slaughter one of his chickens.

And he said yes.

I saw when Mom twisted its neck.

She's so good at it.

[Sunja's mother]
She started when young.

[Sunja] Eat.

[Sunja's mother] Oh, dear.

[gasps] Mr. Koh Hansu!

All that you've done for us...
How can we possibly repay you?

You don't owe me anything.
Sit down, please.

He sent his men to search for me,

when he couldn't find me
at the boardinghouse.

What he has done-- It was no easy task.

[Sunja stammers] So--

Would you like to join us?

I've already had my dinner,

but may I sit with you?

Yes, please.

[Mr. Kim]
We will eat well tonight. Thank you.

[Mozasu, in Japanese]
See? Always first!

[laughs]

[door buzzes]

[Solomon] Be right there!

[door buzzes]

Just a second.

[exclaims]

[clears throat]

[in English] Grandma.
[stammers] What are you doing here?

[sighs] Didn't you get my message?

When's the last time you cleaned in here?

[stammers] I cleaned it today.

But listen, Grandma, why are you in Tokyo?

Huh?

A dream that I had.

A dream?

Was it about me?

I don't remember the details, but...

- When I woke up, I--
- [buzz]

Expecting someone?

Yes, I was supposed to have dinner
with a friend.

She's here to pick me up early.

[grunts]

- [in Japanese] Did you see this?
- Naomi--

They're saying there are bones
beneath that land.

- [Solomon stammers]
- [Sunja] Who is that?

[Solomon] Uh--

[in Japanese] My grandmother.

She had some last-minute business
in Tokyo.

Ichizaki-san.

We used to work together at Shiffley's.

It is nice to meet you.

I apologize for my outburst.

Nice to meet you.

[in English]
So, is this a date?

Grandma, why are you embarrassing me?

[in Japanese] Sorry to change our plans
at the last minute--

Do not worry.

You came so far.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

[in English]
Were you going out for dinner?

It was not a fancy dinner.

A restaurant down the street.
They serve pasta.

Goodness.

This poor girl. She's too skinny.

- [in Japanese] I'll call you later.
- [gasps]

- Come in!
- It's okay.

You came all this way.

Please, I'll be fine.

[Sunja] You should see how much galbi-jjim
I brought from home.

And Solomon's favorite banchan.

Come.

Put on slippers!

His floors are dirty.

[Solomon] You really don't have to.

I'd love to take you up on your offer.

[sighs]

[reporter] Last last night, 60 B-29s

indiscriminately firebombed
the city center...

[Sunja] Your grandmother and I
used to fight bitterly

about me wanting to go to school.

It was a different time then.

Ma, I'm happy to teach you if you want.

What? To read?

[chuckles] It's too late now.

You're the one who needs to be well read.

Understand?

[sighs]

Oh, goodness. [sighs]

How can anybody sleep soundly
in this heat?

I'm stepping out for some air.

Okay.

[sighs]

[Mozasu snoring]

[Mr. Kim] Kyunghee?

Is everything okay?

[music playing on radio]

Why are you out so late?

I can't sleep in this heat.

But why are you still here?

- I'm looking for the foreman.
- Is something the matter?

No.

It's just a business matter.

Well...

Allow me to thank you once more.

It was nothing.

That's not true.

I know it cost you a great deal.

I'll be going then.

Sunja.

[lever cranks]

Have you ever driven a car?

A car?

Come give it a try?

[chuckles]

Are you putting me on?

[chuckles]

I'm serious.

Get in.

Everyone should drive
at least once in their life.

Come on.

[Hansu grunts]

[chuckles]

Release the brake, gently.

Go ahead.

[engine rumbles]

[phone ringing]

[in Japanese] Hello.

[Tom, in English]
Wanna hear some good news?

[in Japanese] One moment.

I have to take this.

[door closes]

[Sunja] Try holding it like this.

These are too thin.

I don't cook much these days.

I can tell.

Just look at your hands.

[in English] What is it?

Just as you said.
Colton Hotels. They're balking.

- So they're pulling out?
- That's what it looks like.

This means
the ball's in your court now, Tom.

I know.
But before I go ahead, I have to ask.

Are you sure about this?

'Cause when Abe- san finds out it was you,

well, let's just say
no one's gonna envy you.

That's okay.
I don't need people to envy me.

Call the loan.

[in Japanese] I used to always help
make dinner when I was younger.

[sighs]

Every night, my mother would
set the table with a feast.

Then, my brother and I,

we would wait with her
for my father to come.

[chuckles]

But he didn't come home much.

For so much of my life,

cooking-- [sighs]
was how I made my living.

But it's different.

The food you make for others

and the food you make for your family.

You can taste the difference.

Your mother's cooking,
I'm sure it was delicious.

He really struggled.

At Shiffley's.

With all of those people
hoping he would fail.

Perhaps I did as well.

But what he did on that land deal...

I've never seen anyone

take a stand like that before.

I was...

It empowered me.

[door opens, closes]

Everything okay?

[Sunja] Of course.

Why would you ask such a thing?

[Solomon]
They should be thicker. Like this.

Let her be!

She knows what to do.

[stammers, speaks Japanese]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

- [engine revs]
- [music playing on radio]

[Hansu, in English] You can't
step on the gas and clutch together.

[engine rumbling]

[chuckling]
You're really terrible at it.

There you go.

- [chuckles]
- You're doing well now.

[chuckles]

[knocks on door]

[exclaims]

- [laughs]
- [shushes]

[in Japanese]
People are sleeping.

Why are you here so late?

Follow me.
There's something I have to show you.

I can't. My mother will be back soon.

Trust me.

You'll regret missing this.

Hurry! Come on, Noa.

Noa!

Wait!

Wait for me!

It's delicious.

She'll like you now.

What are you talking about?
As if I wouldn't like her.

[chuckles]

You must work long hours.

Do you enjoy the work?

Mostly, I'm proud of it.

Especially when the days are tough.

Are there many of those?

Honestly, too many to count.

But it's slowly getting better.

Actually, there's this deal
I'm working on.

It's the deal I've been waiting for.

What is it?

I've been tracking this company
for some time now.

- Yotsuba Finance.
- The personal lender?

I've convinced them to finally
let me take them public.

Wow, that's amazing.

[mutters]

Has the prospectus gone out yet?

Next week.

What's the valuation range?

Between 30 to 50 billion yen.

What's the free float?
Will they go for 25%?

No, only 10% now.

I'm trying to convince
the founders to raise it,

but they're skittish.

[Solomon]
That's the real money.

[Naomi] I know.
I'm hoping to persuade them.

[stammers]
But this is strictly confidential.

[grunts]

[Naomi] It's company regulations.

Who am I going to tell?

All I know is that you seem so excited.

I have a good feeling about this.

This is the big one.

[chuckles]

To tell the truth,

you showed me the way.

You mean I'm the cautionary tale.

You stood your ground,
and you got the deal done.

[Solomon grunts]

Are you saying halmoni agreed to sell?
When?

We closed the deal a few days ago.

[in English]
But didn't she say she would never sell?

What changed her mind? Do you know?

Did you go to see her again? Huh?

It was her choice.

She made a lot of money.

She has no regrets.

[sighs]
Grandma, don't look at me like that.

[in Japanese]
I didn't take advantage of her.

Believe me.

The zucchini is good.

- Not bad for your first time.
- [chuckles]

I was only helping your grandmother.
[chuckles]

[in English]
I should be getting back.

Sunja will be worried about me.

If we were still in Korea,

I wouldn't even be able
to speak to someone like you.

But here. [sighs]

You and I share a barn as a home.
[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Will we ever return?

We'll return no matter what.

I refuse to die here.

I don't want that either.

And perhaps if we were to return...

it's likely that some of your sadness
will be lifted.

My sadness?

I can see it behind your eyes.

It oppresses me, because-- [sighs]

there's nothing I can do about it.

I've spoken out of turn again. Sorry.

Just because we've shared some stories,

let's not presume a friendship, alright?

[sighs]

[Mr. Kim sighs]

[music playing on radio]

- [Hansu] Watch out!
- [screams]

- [engine revs]
- [tires screech]

[both panting]

[Hansu] Are you okay?

- [Sunja] Yes, I'm fine.
- [engine sputters]

[mud squelching]

[both sighing]

[sighs] We'll have to push it.

I can get Mr. Kim and Noa.

It's fine. The two of us can do this.

Push on three.

One, two, three!

[both grunting]

[in Japanese] Hurry, we'll miss it.

[wings fluttering]

[gasping]

[Minoru] So many.

This is amazing.

[both chuckling]

[Minoru] I caught one!

- [grunts]
- [Minoru chuckles]

- [Hansu] One last time.
- [both grunting]

[Hansu] It's moving.

That's it.

That's it! That's it!

Enough. It's enough.

[both panting]

- We did it.
- [Sunja chuckles]

[chuckles, pants]

[both panting]

[Sunja moans]

- [crack in distance]
- [gasps]

[Sunja breathes shakily]

[Hansu] It's nothing.

We can't be doing this.

Sunja.

The two of us--This is right
no matter what anyone says.

I know this.

I just lost my husband
and you have a family--

Your husband's gone.
You don't owe him anything.

You're wrong.

I owe everything to my husband.

And for how long, Sunja?

Tell me.

How much longer must you serve that grave?

Your happiness matters as well.

You don't have to give everything up.

Everything I do is for you, Sunja.

It's for you and my son. All of it!

In your heart, I know you feel it.

My heart... It's too late.

Sunja.

[engine rumbles]

[Hansu sighing]

[engine revs]

Can't sleep because of the heat?

[Sunja's mother] It's him, isn't it?

He's the father.

[horn honking]

[honking in distance]

[Noa, in Japanese] What's that?

[Sunja's mother]
Sunja, you know,

that boy must never know.

[Sunja] I know.

Whatever is happening
between you two, Sunja.

- You must be discreet--
- Mother.

You do not need to worry.

I remembered myself with him.

[sighs]

Let's wash up now.

[sighs] We must get that mud off you.

[foreman, in Japanese]
What's wrong, Koh-san?

Get out.

What are you doing?

You think you can steal from me
and I won't find out?

I don't know what you're talking about--

[sighs, grunts]

[whimpers]

[Hansu] You think I'm that stupid?

Stay down.

[foreman] Stop!

Stop!

Please.

- [kicks landing]
- [foreman grunting]

- Stop. Please!
- [Hansu mutters]

- [grunts]
- [foreman] Enough. Stop!

But it was just a few chickens.

Forgive me!

[both grunt]

[foreman groaning]

- [punches landing]
- [Hansu grunting]

[Minoru] Noa!

[in English]
Noa.

Noa!

Solomon, listen now.

Whatever it is you're planning,
this scheme that you have in your head,

I won't ask any more questions.

I don't want to hear your lies.

Instead,

I'll ask you this one thing.

Do not forget the kind of man you are.

Can you do that?

I want to.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[Naomi grunts]

[both breathing heavily]

[line ringing]

[Naomi moans]

- [person] Hello.
- [gasps]

- This is Kato.
- [gasping]

Who is this?

[stammers]
Kato-san, this is Kim Sunja calling.

- [Kato stammers]
- I'm just realizing how late it is.

- [Kato chuckles]
- Should I call back in the morning?

[Kato chuckles]

It's fine.
I've been waiting for your call.

Waiting?

I was beginning to lose hope.

[chuckles] I am in Tokyo.

- [Kato gasps]
- To see my grandson.

- I was worried for him.
- [Kato grunts]

[chuckles] But he had a date.

[Kato chuckles]

A girlfriend?

[sighs] Who knows these days?

What is she like?

She's Japanese.

I see.

Is that a problem?

[stammers] It is what it is.

As you said,

you and I, we have seen too much.

That is true.
Neither of us are young anymore.

But I do know,

with the little time I have left,

I get to choose what I see.

Have we not earned that right?

[Mozasu sighs]

[Sunja, in English]
Noa, help bring the rice inside.

[farm worker, in Japanese]
A few more sacks over here.

- [children laughing]
- [farm workers chattering]

- [bell sounding]
- [people shouting]

[Mozasu, in English] Mama!

- [Noa] What's that?
- [Sunja's mother] What's happening?

- [Sunja] Go outside.
- [Kyunghee] An air raid?

Are they coming?

- [bell continues]
- [farm workers clamoring]

What is it?

[Mr. Kim]
That's the rice shed.

[tools scraping]

[wood banging]

[Mr. Kim grunting]

[Kyunghee sighs]

[panting]

[Mr. Kim] Kyunghee!

[Kyunghee panting, wheezing]

Kyunghee, wait!

Kyunghee!

Please, stop!

How many months of work was that?

We worked so hard!

- [Mr. Kim sighs]
- How can it all just be gone?

How can this happen?

I don't know.

Why are you here?

Did I ask you to follow me?

You know why.

You believe in the life after,
but I do not.

Why tell me about this right now?

Because this life is my only one.

This one life of mine.

And if the Americans are to come today...

If they are to send over their planes

and drop their bombs here...

could I really say
that I have lived a good life?

A life well-lived?

[Kyunghee breathes shakily]

Could you say such a thing?

[crying]
