Episode 4
This is why the cleaning lady never has to do her job.
Have some coffee.
This is a bribe for the thing in Seoul.
Bribed.
Daebeom.
Honestly...
It's not so bad for us to work here and grow old.
- Bom's our only visitor. - And the lady.
Yes, Yeoreum.
- It's still only two. - Jun, too.
Stop.
To think, I shouldn't be upset about not living in Seoul.
The air's bad.
Also, the work will be stressful.
- Yeah, and housing's expensive. - I know.
It's through the roof, right?
When do you get the result?
I don't know. Why do you ask?
Don't look for me on the day.
I'll be under the covers.
You'll have to get busy contacting people outside this area.
Buyers should see it while we have a tenant.
I've posted an ad online already.
- Give it time. - You did?
- Already? - Of course.
- Hello. - Hey! Constable Gwak.
- Have you been well? - Yes.
Dad, mom wanted me to bring you this.
Sit down. Have some coffee before you go.
I'm sorry, I got to run.
- Really? - I will next time.
Mucheol.
I've been meaning to ask you for a favor.
Sure, what is it?
- You know my building. - Sure.
Can you patrol around it more often?
Did something happen?
Some freak wrote a menacing message yesterday.
Message? What did it say?
Well, it said...
- the freak will kill the tenant. - Gosh.
That area doesn't have security cameras.
Sorry about that. I'll look after it better.
Yes, take a closer look from now on.
All right.
I feel relieved now that I know you'll look after it.
My head hurts...
I'm dying.
What's this?
It's pollock soup.
So good!
But who...
Who brought this?
Grandma thanks you for helping her bring my dad home.
Thanks for the pencil, too.
It's the girl from the library.
What the...
What happened?
What did I do yesterday?
$400?
When did I withdraw $400?
Why did I do that?
Zero balance?
Jeomrye, I was here yesterday, right?
Did you sober up?
What's with your face?
I withdrew money here, right?
Gosh, don't you remember wrestling that?
My money! You swallowed my money, didn't you?
Give my money back! Give it back!
- Oh my! What's wrong with you? - Give it back!
You'll hurt your hand, hitting it!
It swallowed my money.
I have much more than this!
I was anxious since you bought the booze.
You can only withdraw up to $400 a day.
Why?
- It's my money. - Well...
- Come back when you're sober. - I need money now!
- Right now! - Miss!
Sober up, and go to the bank in the town center tomorrow.
I forgot that I can go to the bank.
Thank you.
You dropped your money! Hey, you!
You'll lose them all at this rate!
You make me so nervous.
It's way too late for nonsense!
I'm sorry.
A young lady shouldn't be drunk late at night like this.
- Look at this. - Sorry.
Put it in!
Here!
Why did you give it to me?
This is for you!
If you want to give me money,
do it when you're sober tomorrow.
Why? I'm loaded!
Put on your shoes and go home!
- Go! Scram! - No!
Scram!
Bye!
Goodbye!
Alcohol possessed you yesterday.
After withdrawing money...
Did I have a bag...
It was a black one that hides the money.
When I passed by again last night,
was I holding the bag?
I don't know since I closed before you came by.
Did you lose it?
Go to the bank. It might be there.
Thank you.
Changsu! Come out for a second.
Goodness, how are you, sir?
I bet you resent me.
- Sorry? - I get it.
I changed my mind about the building,
it must have driven you mad.
- That's not true. - Is that the reason?
- Sorry? - What?
What are you talking about?
Is that why you ruined the shutter yesterday?
- Sorry? - He's trying to blame us.
Leave. We have a business to run.
You two. I caught you red-handed.
Look.
You better tell me what you did last night with this.
Oh dear!
I wrote that with the spray.
What? Do I need your permission for that, too?
Your accusation's total bullshit!
What? You can't talk to me like that!
Fine, let's do this!
I'll put your face on the nine o'clock news!
Come at me! Come on!
I'm sorry!
A black vinyl bag?
Who puts money in there? Why do you ask?
Didn't you see one?
I'm sure someone would've taken it
if there was money inside.
Can I watch the video of the security camera around the ATM?
We have a procedure to follow.
Fill this out and come back tomorrow.
Can I watch it today? This is urgent.
You can't today. Fill this out and come back.
Seongmin, didn't she take the building under your nose?
I'll make it quick.
Never mind. Forget her.
- Where was I? - When it comes to loans,
it's not lending money to your friends.
- What's going on? - Just $20,000.
- Please! - Next.
- Please, I beg you. - What is it?
Hi, we met last time.
Right, hello.
So you have no idea what time it was.
What time was it...
- See what if you don't know that? - We'll flip through.
Hey, it's you.
That's you.
That's you, right?
I think so.
You're crawling. What's wrong with you?
It's obvious that she was drunk.
Goodness, that's it.
You look too drunk to withdraw money.
Goodness gracious.
Is that the bag you're talking about?
That must be it!
You hold it like it's a purse. I thought it was a purse.
You seem to have trouble withdrawing...
I got it. You kept entering the wrong password.
Sorry...
Oh God! You scared me.
You kept failing and are gone.
You fell. You scared me.
Speed up. Flip.
Goodness.
Are you withdrawing cash?
I think you got it. Wait.
- It's out! - You got it.
That's a lot of cash for late at night.
Goodness.
And you put it in the bag instead of your wallet.
But you took it.
Pull. Don't climb the door.
Speed up! Flip.
That's it. You left there.
- Thank you. - I'm sure you dropped it somewhere.
Look around.
- Okay? - Okay.
Wait!
What's that?
- Something flew in. - Play.
Hey!
- Something flew in. - Is it me?
- Who else? - You fell again.
Someone came running.
Wait, that long hair can only be Daebeom.
Why would he be around at this hour?
That kid's picking up cash.
Instead of helping you.
Jeez!
Look at her off the hook and snoozing.
I didn't sleep. Yeoreum, hi.
Hi.
Hey, Daebeom.
Can I talk to you quickly?
Sure.
What? Where are you going?
Snooze some more.
- Where are you going? - Snooze.
Why won't you tell me?
About yesterday...
we met, right?
Yes.
Let's have cold drinks.
Thanks.
She doesn't remember seeing you.
Is that right?
Do you remember...
the black vinyl bag I was carrying?
Do you remember?
Yes.
We just watched a security camera footage at the bank...
and saw you walking away with the bag.
Well...
I was carrying it for you.
- So... - Can you...
tell me more about that?
- She's in a panic after losing it. - What?
Please.
Last night,
you fell in front of the bank.
That hurts.
- That hurts. - Are you okay?
Daebeom.
What brought you all the way here?
I'm trying to help you, okay?
- I'll give it back. - I'm a bit drunk.
Excuse me. I'm a bit drunk.
Are you okay?
Oh my! Goodness.
Why does it feel like this happened before?
Sorry?
When was it?
It was the library!
Why do you show up every time I'm drunk?
I didn't mean to...
What?
Why do you keep showing up in front of me?
You keep showing up when I'm drunk
Sing along!
Why do you keep showing up in front of me?
You keep showing up when I'm drunk
I don't remember the lyrics I keep thinking of your face
You must be going home.
- Home? - Yeah.
The billiard center?
Yes.
It's not my home.
That hurts.
Did anything happen on the way?
I saw in the morning...
my face was...
Did you two punch each other?
Daebeom.
What brought you all the way here?
You didn't bring this.
I've been meaning to ask you something.
What?
Can I ask?
Yes.
We slept together at the library...
What?
Do you not remember that night?
We slept together at the library!
Not together. We slept separately...
Never mind.
That's not important.
Did you hear it in the morning or not?
What did I hear?
Psss...
I don't get it.
Stop faking.
That hurt so bad.
Why are you hurting me?
You've been pushing me all along!
You almost fell...
You've been pushing me!
You didn't hold me. You pushed with the bag!
Am I dirty?
Am I a plague or something?
See? You won't touch me!
Jesus.
Let me live.
Let me just breathe and live.
Please, leave me alone!
- I'm so upset! - I know.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Please, I am begging you.
Look how I'm begging you.
Ouch!
I think my nose fell off.
It didn't.
- My nose... - You hurt...
You dodged me, didn't you?
- I'm sorry. - It's true.
It's true that everyone hates me.
It just...
It's okay. It's my last day here.
Hold the bag. Hold it.
How old are you?
- I'm 28. - Really?
You're my age!
We're pals!
Come. I'll buy you drinks.
Come on!
Come on. Move it!
We're here.
We're here! This is it.
Pick whatever you want! It's on me!
Now isn't a good time.
Why?
It's closed.
Angok Supermarket
I have drinks left at my place.
- Let's go! - I'll take off now.
Why?
No!
I can't! No!
You!
Take this with you!
You threw the bag at me and left?
Yes.
I think...
You dropped it on the way back home.
I'm sorry.
- I should've brought you home. - It's fine.
Anyway...
Thanks...
I told you nothing good can come, living there.
Yeoreum, see you.
That must hurt.
What happened?
- Do you want to know? - Yeah.
She wouldn't have watched the footage without me.
Thank God I begged Yeongsam.
I can't believe you jogged after driving all day.
I was taking a walk.
Daebeom's live and kicking.
Yeoreum's so different when she's drunk.
Gosh, I know.
Booze's root of all evil.
She lost everything. She'll drink again today.
She'll never find it.
She lost everything? How much was it?
- $50,000? - Not $50,000.
- It's $5000, not $50,000. - $5,000.
We should call the police.
What can the police do, tough?
It's not me at this point.
She can't live here anymore.
- Jiyeong, I have to go somewhere. - To where?
- It might take a while. - Where are you off to?
That's odd.
What's odd?
Why are you always here? Hurry up and leave.
Seogmin: Me?
You must know your enemy.
That's the only way to win the battle.
I don't know what the battle is, but hats off.
Jiyeong, when do you clock out?
In two days.
Where are you?
Why did I withdraw cash, drunk?
Pup, don't you know where it is?
Please try to remember.
Please...
Please, please...
Anyone home?
Who is it?
Goodness, miss!
My goodness, what a surprise!
- Come in! - Hello.
Sorry for the mess.
Sit here. I'm so glad to see you finally.
I've been wondering how you are.
- How are you? - Well,
is your granddaughter in?
Did you miss her? She was at your place in the morning.
Yes.
You missed her.
Miss...
Did you have the pollock soup?
Bom called in the morning.
She nagged me for the recipe.
Right...
It was delicious.
I hope it was good.
When did you two...
become so close like that?
- I'll take off now. - Okay.
I just harvested tomatoes.
- Wait here. - It's okay!
It'll take a second.
It's okay. I'll go now.
Miss.
Take it.
Please, look after...
my dear Bom.
Let's start here and stop everywhere I would've been.
I have to find it. I will at all costs.
Let me look inside. Just for a second.
- What are you doing? - I lost something.
The young lady who lives in the billiard center...
has lost cash.
She lost it as she was hammered last night.
Her cash is in a black vinyl bag.
If you've seen $4,500 in $10 notes,
call the town hall immediately.
Let me repeat.
If you've seen a black vinyl bag full of cash,
please call the town hall immediately.
Yeoreum.
Here.
Where did you find it?
Last night...
I didn't realize but I brought it home.
What?
I thought I gave it to you.
You told me you gave it to me and I took it.
I'm sorry.
But I've been...
looking for it all over.
Couldn't you care just a little?
- I'm sorry. - I asked...
if you know where it is.
I asked you where it is.
Thank you for finding it.
Grandma told me you came to see me.
Yes...
Why did you want to see me?
Well...
I had an issue, but it's fine.
Oh, I see.
Can I go now then?
Hey...
Thank you so much for the pollock soup.
Sure thing.
Be careful.
You'll knock yourself out, drinking like that.
Hey...
Do you want instant noodles?
Okay.
I'm sorry.
Can you wait for me?
I have to go buy the noodles.
Then I'll tag along.
I don't feel comfortable alone.
Right, okay.
Who is that?
Hey you!
Jaehun, are you filming an action movie?
Did you know it was me?
Why are you wearing a mask when it's obviously you?
Do you know him?
Forget it. You don't need to meet him.
- Let's just go. - That's harsh.
Hi, I'm in Bom's class. My name is Heo Jaehun.
Why were you sneaking up there?
Well, Bom skipped school.
I got worried and missed her, too.
You idiot, stop talking.
Let's just go.
Wait! Where are you going?
To buy instant noodles.
That's good. I'm a master noodle cook.
- Just try... - Don't follow us.
- Wait... - I said go!
- Try them! - Go away!
Take me with you.
What happened to you?
- Did you look for Yeoreum's cash? - Yes.
- Did you find it? - Yes.
Really?
Impressive. I thought you couldn't
Did you hand the cash over?
Yes.
Don't you think you're sticking your nose too deep?
- It's not like you. - Jiyeong.
I'm hungry.
Your place's so cool.
It's like a studio in New York.
- New York, my ass. - By the way,
weren't you hurt?
I'm tough, so it's fine.
Should I cook there?
- Oh, I'll cook. - No, let me!
You two, don't lift a finger. Stay put.
Get ready to be impressed.
Do you cook noodles with your mouth?
- I do it with my hands. - Oh, my!
Why did he even come here?
Hey.
Are we on a first-name basis now?
Sure.
I have to tell you something.
What is it?
Bom.
I'm sorry.
- I really am. - What?
Out of nowhere? For what?
I went to your place...
because I suspected you.
I sincerely apologize.
Why do you apologize to me?
I was the mean one.
You paid a lot for the puppy because of me.
That's okay.
I'll even up the score.
What? You say it like it's revenge.
Of course, it's not.
- Yeoreum! - My god!
- What did you do? - I didn't do anything.
It's...
The pipe burst. The duct tape isn't holding up.
- What are you doing? - Let me.
You should replace the pipe. It's cracked.
- Really? - I'll get a new one from Seongmin.
- Hold on. - No.
I'm supposed to fix it.
What? No way. Stay here. I'll get one for you.
- Take me. - Hey.
Stop getting in my way, and clean the floor!
Look after the puppy!
- Hey! - Thanks, Jaehun.
Yeoreum!
What's your name?
Seongmin!
Hey.
You're here.
Seongmin, are you serious?
Well, I mean...
- I'm sorry. - You know,
the pipe at your place burst. It's beyond repair.
The sink is all rotten.
Is it the landlord's job to replace it?
Right.
Oh, that's why you're here?
- Then what... - It's fine.
I'll fix it. Just give me a new pipe.
No!
I should do it.
I should do it, of course.
You two go back first.
I'll bring the parts.
Seongmin, make it quick.
We have to cook noodles now.
Okay, I'll be quick. Yeoreum, go with Bom for now.
Let's go.
Bom!
Come out!
- Why? - Just come on down.
- Who's that? You come, too. - Okay!
Why in the world are you bothering us?
Look who is here!
I saw you at the library.
Yes, he's my son.
- When you see an adult, say hi. - Hello.
Hi.
He missed the billiard lady so much.
He missed me?
Why all of a sudden?
Anyway, I got knick-knacks. Let's move them together.
Hi, I'm in Bom's class...
Good, you can carry heavy stuff with me.
Yeoreum and Bom can bring small things.
And Jun, you know what you need to do.
Are they for me?
It's nothing. Hold this.
It's light.
Seongmin.
These are all free, right?
Why would I charge her? Take this upstairs.
They're all for me?
- It's nothing. Go. - Let's go.
Seongmin's generous. It's fine.
Come here for a second.
Carry a big one. Hold it.
Geunho, what are you doing there?
Come and have dinner.
Geunho.
Remember never to step outside.
You got that?
Should I put this next to the bed?
It's working. It works now.
Thank you!
Golly, I'm impressed.
I'm the only one who is capable of handywork.
Bom, by the way...
Last time, I asked you...
to work for me, but you can't tell Yeoreum about it, okay?
What got into you?
Did you do something to Yeoreum?
Do what?
You didn't...
hear something, did you?
So you did.
- Do what? - Yeoreum!
- You have running water now. - Wow!
Did you fix it?
- You know how to fix it? - Gosh!
What can't you do?
I knew it since you ripped off the tape.
You're like a plumber.
He's one smooth talker.
The door doesn't close, so...
- Here. - It's fine.
- You helped out so much... - One minute.
Done. It's sturdy now.
- Here. - It's fine.
I left a chain for the lock, too.
Don't forget to lock the door.
You saw the menacing message.
- Take it. - It's fine.
Think of it as a furnished studio.
You gave so many things.
It's okay. They're all used items.
Just return them as you got them.
I almost forgot. Hey, son!
Here he comes.
I'm sorry.
For what?
He had to crack his piggy bank to bring you this.
Why are you being so nice to me?
Well, Yeoreum...
What I'm about to say...
makes me embarrassed and ashamed.
It's just that...
- See you. - Every morning,
Jun likes to buy sweet bread.
As he was leaving the supermarket,
he picked up your cash.
He did?
I mean, aren't you glad Jun picked it?
Where did he pick it?
Well, it was...
- Here. - Here?
No way!
Jun picked up the bag,
and after seeing a pile of cash,
he thought it was a gift from God.
Jun watched cartoons too much.
But Daebeom said he had the cash.
About that...
After hearing my dad's announcement,
Jun realized.
He got scared and ran right to Daebeom.
I went to the internet cafe...
Jun should've come to me.
Why did he go to Daebeom?
I want to ask you.
When Daebeom handed you the cash,
did he mention Jun?
No, he didn't.
I have a favor to ask.
I don't want others to find out what Jun did.
- Yes, of course. - Well...
Thank you.
And I'm really sorry.
I'll take off now.
Hey, look...
It's not Jun's fault.
It was me who lost it.
Also, I'm too ashamed to talk about this, so don't worry.
Thank you.
Also, if something breaks down,
or if you need anything, just call me.
Thank you.
Yeoreum! Does it look so cozy now?
- It finally looks like home. - It's true.
Seongmin pulled the weight today.
Is that pizza? I was craving it. Can we eat now? I'm hungry.
Of course, you can.
You're not cooking. Why are you still here?
- Go home. - Don't be petty with food.
By the way, what's its name?
- I haven't named it. - Really?
Then, let's name it together.
Well, I actually have one in mind.
- What? - He has a snow-white coat.
So...
What about Gyeoul? It means winter, you know.
- I like it! - You do?
- Yes. - You do? It sucks.
Forget that. How about Damien?
Damien? Screw Damien. Just keep eating pizza.
Where's Damien?
Do you want pizza?
- Oh, no! - Don't feed pizza!
Damien can't...
- You just said Damien. - I did?
- You just said Damien. - I did not.
So it's Damien.
- I said Gyeoul. - You said Damien.
- I like Gyeoul. - See? She likes Gyeoul.
- Jun. - What?
- I'm so upset. - Why?
Why did you tell Daebeom before me?
- I'm so upset. - Dad, what about that?
You bring it.
What?
What is this?
Dad, dad!
- What? - Look.
Look at it.
- Thank you - Yeoreum -
This woman...
It's okay.
Yeoreum gave it to us to thank us.
- Really? - Keep it.
- Jun. - What?
Don't tell grandpa what happened today.
I won't.
Dad, I'm hungry. Can you also have pizza?
You little...
The pizza wheel says...
- Bulgogi! - Bulgogi!
- Yes! - Yes!
Order it. You know the number, right?
Sure.
I thought the town...
No, I thought everyone in this world hated me.
I don't remember anything
but one thing.
It's...
hate.
I wanted to leave.
I wished my money to be gone.
In my world, I was a victim.
They were haters.
But my mind was changed today.
Where did you get them?
They're...
- from your grandma. - Really?
I didn't know.
Yeoreum.
By the way, did you know that...
Daebeom spent his childhood here?
No.
To be exact, his family ran the billiard center.
Then who's Seona?
She's Daebeom's sister.
That's her name. She was a genius, apparently.
Summer Strike
I guess you heard about Jun.
It was because I didn't tell you.
People die from loneliness instead of hunger these days.
You should meet girls.
- Are you two married? - Not at all. We're not married.
He shouldn't rot in this country library.
You worry a lot about Daebeom.
Daebeom and I have a history.
- She'll go to Seoul, then. - Come with me.
