(in Korean) 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.

And are they all coming here?

(in Japanese) Who knows?

But better to be ready than be sorry.

Don't you think?

That's right. You have a point.

But where's your brother?

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

Probably wandering around somewhere.

If he's not with that jerk,

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

Really, he's become no fun!

I see you're feeling sore about things.

I mean, what's the point in living here

if you're not going to
have any fun, right?

But you must know this.

Your brother is
the head of the house now.

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

Where's the burden?

He always gets the first in everything.

He does,

but when he's older,

the burden of taking care of the family
falls on him.

No room for failure, not for the eldest.

You may not understand
what that means now,

but believe me,
yours is the easier life.

I know this well.

All right, get back at it.

I got it!

You had the better angle.

Excuses of a coward.

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.

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?

Here.

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.

Thank you. But--

Is there a problem?

None of your business. What do you care?

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.

Sunja, what is it?

Mother.

...students threw rocks,
temporarily holding off the army.

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

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

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 grandmother.

Grandmother, was the boat really big?

No, not that big.

Did it at least have a sail then?

No.

No sail either.

The boat was actually quite small.

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

All of us crammed so tightly
against one another

with those strong swells
crashing over us.

That journey here...

it was difficult.

I really want to ride on a boat.

Why?

Where would you go?

Africa.

Africa?

Is that far?

So far.

In one of my manga books,
I saw a picture of a lion.

It looks so ferocious.

I really want to see one for myself.

A lion?

Lion.

Lion.

Noa.

Mozasu.

You must not forget that you are Korean.

Korean to the bones,
that is who you are.

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

You're right. So right.

Mozasu, sit. Let's eat.

Noa, will you pray tonight?

Dear Heavenly Father,

we thank you for
the meal you have provided us.

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

In Jesus' name we pray.

- Amen.
- Amen.

It's too much. Give some to the boys.

Eat.

Eat.

Grandmother, in your honor,

Auntie asked the foreman if we could
slaughter one of his chickens.

And he said yes.

I saw Mama twist the neck.

She was really good at it.

Your mother started when she was young.

Eat.

Mr. Koh Hansu!

All that you have done for us...
How could we possibly repay you?

There's no need. Please, sit.

When he couldn't find me
at the boardinghouse,

he sent his men to search for me.

It was no easy task.

Would you like to join us?

I've had my dinner,

but may I sit?

Please.

We will eat well tonight. Thank you.

See? Always first!

Be right there!

Just a second.

Grandmother. What are you doing here?

Didn't you get my message?

When's the last time you cleaned?

I did today.

But, Grandmother, why are you in Tokyo?

I had a dream.

A dream? About me?

I don't remember the details,

but when I woke up--

Are you expecting someone?

I was supposed to have dinner
with a friend.

She's here to pick me up.

- Did you see this?
- Naomi--

They're saying there are bones
beneath that land.

Who is that?

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.

Is this a date?

Grandmother,
why are you embarrassing me?

Sorry to change our plans
at the last minute--

Do not worry.

You came so far.

I hope you enjoy your visit.

Were you going out for dinner?

Nowhere special.

Just the pasta place down the street.

Goodness.

Look at her. She's too skinny.

I'll call you later.

- Come in!
- It's okay.

You came all this way.

Please, I'll be fine.

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

And Solomon's favorite banchan.

Come.

Put on slippers!

His floors are dirty.

You really don't have to.

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

Last last night, 60 B-29s

indiscriminately firebombed
the city center...

Your grandmother and I
used to fight so bitterly

about me wanting to go to school.

It was a different time then.

Mother, I can teach you if you want.

To read?

It's too late for that now.

You're the one who needs to do well now.

Understand?

Goodness.

How can one sleep in this heat?

I'm going to get some air.

Yes.

Kyunghee?

Is everything okay?

Why are you out so late?

I couldn't sleep.

But why are you still here?

- I was looking for the foreman.
- Is something wrong?

No.

Just something I need to deal with.

Well...

I want to thank you again.

It was nothing.

That's not true.

I know it cost you a great deal.

I'll go now.

Sunja.

Have you ever driven a car?

A car?

Would you like to?

Are you joking?

I'm serious.

Get in.

Everyone should drive a car
at least once in their life.

Come now.

Release the brake gently.

Go.

Hello.

You wanna hear some good news?

One moment.

I have to take this.

Try holding it like this.

These are too thin.

I don't cook much these days.

I can tell.

Just look at your hands.

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 in the loan.

I used to always help make dinner
when I was younger.

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.

But he didn't come home much.

For so much of my life,

cooking 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.

Everything okay?

Of course.

Why would you ask such a thing?

They should be thicker. Like this.

Let her be!

She knows what to do.

I told you, you can't step on the gas
and clutch together.

You're really terrible at this.

There you go.

You're doing well now.

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.

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.

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.

That's the real money.

I know. I'm hoping to persuade them.

But this is strictly confidential.

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.

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.

That halmoni sold? When?

We closed the deal a few days ago.

But didn't she say
she would never sell?

Why did she change her mind?

Did you go back to her?

It was her choice.

She made a lot of money.

She has no regrets.

Grandmother, don't look at me like that.

I didn't take advantage of her.

Believe me.

The zucchini is good.

Not bad for your first time.

I was only helping your grandmother.

I should be getting back.

Sunja will be worried about me.

If we were in Korea,

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

But here...

you and I share a barn.

Will we ever return?

We'll return no matter what.

I won't die here.

I don't want that either.

And perhaps if we were to return...

some of your sadness would be lifted.

My sadness?

It's in your eyes.

It oppresses me.

Because there's nothing
I can do about it.

I've spoken out of turn again.

Just because we have told
one another some stories,

let us not presume a friendship.

Watch out!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

We'll have to push it out.

I can run and get Mr. Kim and Noa.

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

Push on three.

One, two, three!

Hurry, we'll miss it.

So many.

This is amazing.

I caught one!

One last time.

It's moving.

That's it.

That's it! That's it!

Enough.

We did it.

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.

You have a family,
and I just lost my husband.

He's gone. You owe him nothing.

You're wrong.

I owe him everything.

And for how long?

Tell me.

How much longer
must you serve that grave?

You deserve happiness as well.

You don't have to give everything up.

Everything I do is for you.

For you and Noa. All of it!

In your heart, I know you feel it.

My heart-- It's too late.

Sunja.

Is it the heat keeping you up?

It's him, isn't it?

He's the father.

What's that?

Sunja, you know,

that boy must never know.

I know.

Whatever is happening
between the two of you,

- you must be discreet--
- Mother.

You do not need to worry.

I remembered myself.

Let's wash you.

We must get that mud off you.

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--

You think I'm that stupid?

Stay down.

Stop! Stop!

Please.

Stop. Please!

Enough. Stop!

But it was just a few chickens.

Forgive me!

Noa!

Noa.

Noa!

Solomon, listen now.

Whatever it is you are doing,
whatever scheme you have in mind,

I won't ask you about it anymore.

I don't want to hear your lies.

Instead,

I'll ask you one thing.

Do not forget who you are.

Can you do that?

I want to.

Hello.

This is Kato.

Who is this?

Kato-san, this is Kim Sunja calling.

I'm just realizing how late it is.

Should I call back in the morning?

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

Waiting?

I was beginning to lose hope.

I am in Tokyo.

To see my grandson.

I was worried for him.

But he had a date.

A girlfriend?

Who knows these days?

What is she like?

She's Japanese.

I see.

Is that a problem?

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?

Noa, help bring the rice inside.

A few more sacks over here.

Mama!

- What's that sound?
- What's happening?

- Go outside.
- Is it an air raid?

Are they coming?

What is it?

It's the rice shed.

Kyunghee!

Kyunghee, wait!

Kyunghee!

Stop!

We worked so hard.

All those months!

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 are you telling me this?

Because this is it for me.

This one life.

And if the Americans are to come today...

If they are to unleash their bombs
upon us...

here...

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

A life well-lived?

Could you?
