KWON MAN-SU'S ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Listen up, residents of Seongjin City!
Don't vote for candidate number one, Kwon Man-su!
He's a complete hypocrite, and he discriminates people!
Watch out for the bang!
Look at me, look at me
Look at me
He's having so much fun.
Don't you agree?
Should I just
have fun with you?
Should I do that?
A man in his 20s suddenly showed up naked in front of Seongjin City Hall
where an election campaign was being held and caused a big commotion.
But this young man turned out to be
Assemblyman Kwon Man-su's second son.
Thus, the incident will most likely inflict a heavy blow
on the general election which is a week away.
MR. KWON SON OF ASSEMBLYMAN KWON
He locked me up for causing trouble.
He committed child abuse and violated his human rights!
Kwon Man-su should resign his candidacy!
-Resign! Resign! -After the recent incident,
many people including a few civic groups have been requesting him
-to resign his candidacy. -That man will have to resign.
-The integrity of the home is essential... -What are you going to do about Ms. Ko?
-How can a cruel father like him -She caused this to happen.
-take care of other people's families -I don't know. What should we do?
and work for the country?
He should resign his candidacy.
CHAPTER 4 ZOMBIE KID
Look at me
-Someone take the microphone away! -Candidate number one
3 HOURS AGO
-Hurry! -My goodness.
-Look at him. -My gosh.
What should we do?
Where are you going? You said you wanted to have fun.
When did I say that?
Are you a mythomaniac?
What I said earlier...
I was just talking to myself.
Compliment me for doing the right thing.
-And what exactly is that? -Kidnapping him.
You didn't stop him earlier. You just let him be.
That's because I did the right thing.
Am I wrong?
Then why didn't you stop him?
How could I stop him from dancing and singing
when he's so good at it?
Hey!
Who are you people? Are you from the hospital?
No, I'm a writer. And he's my safety pin.
If anything happens to Assemblyman Kwon because of what happened today...
Yes?
You'd better brace yourselves.
My goodness, really? You're so scary.
-I'm so frightened. What am I going to do? -You little...
Watch yourself.
Both of you just crossed the line.
Brace yourselves.
Why does that idiot keep telling us to brace ourselves?
Gang-tae, Gi-do wishes to talk to you.
I see you're working very hard.
Wait here. Don't go anywhere.
Let's go.
Anyway, thank you for helping us despite your busy schedule.
Gang-tae.
All my wishes came true today.
Today was the best day of my life.
So don't get angry at her for driving me here.
Okay?
-Mom, he'll be fine. -Good gracious.
-Mom. -He'll be okay.
I'm sorry, but we need a family member to come with us to the hospital.
Are you crazy?
Why would we go to a psychiatric hospital?
Go ahead with your father. I'll catch up with you later.
Mom.
Mom!
Gi-do.
Mom, I feel a lot better...
Are you happy now that you've humiliated our entire family?
Are you satisfied now that you've disgraced your father
who you have hated for all those years?
Mom, I just--
Why did you have to be born so dumb
and get treated that way?
Why do you always act out
only to make my heart ache so much?
Why couldn't you just stay quiet?
Why did you have to cross the line
and cause such a big a fuss, you fool?
Why?
My mom knows how to slap really hard.
She never cared about me
because she was always busy taking care of my other siblings.
But I just realized something after I got slapped by her.
Gang-tae.
My mom doesn't hate me.
She loves me like crazy.
How do you know?
You can tell when you're the one getting hit.
For some reason, when someone hits you with affection it strangely...
doesn't make you feel upset.
Gang-tae!
Why did you do that? Why did you send your brother home first?
You should've stayed with him all day!
What were you doing when he was getting beaten up?
I let you learn martial arts so you could protect your brother.
How could you let him come home looking like that?
Are you serious?
My gosh, it's pouring.
You'll catch a cold. Are you okay?
You see, honey,
I won't die early like you did.
I'm going to live a long life.
I'm going to watch Sang-tae grow old and die.
And then, I'll die the next day.
Mom?
My goodness, did you wake up?
-Gang-tae. -Yes?
You need to stay by your brother's side until the day you die.
I'll raise him.
Your job is to look after your brother and keep him safe.
Okay?
That's why
I gave birth to you.
OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
We should go, too.
Ju-ri.
-We should also get going. -Are we going to have fun?
We're going to the hospital.
Don't speed.
Ju-ri. You can go without me.
I'll go with her.
Why?
It's just that...
I don't think she should drive alone.
If you didn't get in my car,
I was going to kidnap you.
Is that your hobby?
I know you were jealous of him when he was having a blast.
"I want to put everything down and have fun just like him."
I could tell from the look on your face.
Let me know when you're ready.
I'll kidnap you and let you have the time of your life.
It will be magnificent.
Forget it.
Okay, fine. When it looks like you want to run away,
I'll run away with you right there and then.
Look forward to it.
Damn.
I hate flowers that fall petal by petal.
I like magnolias.
The whole flower falls at once without hesitation.
I like that about them.
You really have a way of comparing things.
Beautiful comparison, isn't it?
Yes, magnolias sound like the perfect flower for you.
What's your favorite flower?
I don't like them.
I don't like it when spring comes.
Why not?
Because that's when I need to leave again.
What?
Mr. Lee.
Yes, how did it go?
The injunction that was filed against Zombie Kid
got approved, sir.
Oh, I see.
Okay then. I guess we'll just have to return everything. Right?
Yes.
Is this funny to you?
How could you be smiling?
The company is about to go bankrupt, and you're smiling?
Then should I cry?
No.
Just leave.
Just write a resignation letter and leave.
I have
finally found my red shoes.
INFORMATION ON MOON GANG-TAE
Mr. Lee, would you like some coffee?
Where are you going?
I'm going on a business trip.
Bye, sir.
Nice.
You wanted to eat, and this is what you're buying me?
I'm in a hurry. My shift starts soon.
-Do you want a rice ball? -Forget it.
Hello?
Just a second.
Go ahead and eat.
Darn, he didn't even buy any kimchi.
He really doesn't spend money.
I don't care if he's poor, but I hate scrooges.
What brings you to call me?
Is everything okay?
What?
I'm relieved.
What is he saying?
Darn it.
Mr. Moon, let me ask you something.
Did Mun-yeong ever happen to tell you
that you're pretty and that she wants to have you?
-Why me? -Because I can't stop wanting you.
-But why? -Because you're so pretty.
I guess she did. I'm sure of it.
What if she did?
Okay, listen to me carefully.
When she says she wants something,
she practically means she's hungry for it.
So in other words, she's saying she's going to eat you alive.
What's your point?
My point is that you and I are both in a state of emergency.
Her new book got banned from being sold,
so she can't afford to be spending time with you right now.
She needs to start writing her next book.
His shoulders are so broad.
Anyway, I'll go there and do everything I can to take her back.
So please stay alive... I mean...
Please hang in there until then.
Good luck.
Who was it?
-The hospital. -Did they tell you to hurry?
Are they going to fire me?
You're very good at ignoring people.
Good for you.
I heard your new book
got banned from being sold.
Zombie Kid?
Is it because of what you did last time for my brother?
They wouldn't do that just because I cursed and pulled at a man's hair.
They think the illustration and storyline are too grotesque.
Those idiots can't read the actual message that's hidden behind the letters.
Darn them.
What's the message?
You should read it. I want to hear what you think about it.
I'm too old for fairy tales.
Oh, come on. I think you're just the right age for it.
How old are you?
Me?
I'm just a little kid.
But you're more like a kid than I am.
Why am I like a kid?
Because I can see that
you want to be loved.
OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Mom.
UNDER SEDATION DO NOT DISTURB
About Assemblyman Kwon...
Judging by his personality,
he'll throw a fit if he ends up having to resign.
Shouldn't we do something about it?
Get ready to get sued.
Again?
Oh, okay, sir.
Why don't you fire Ms. Ko Mun-yeong?
She kidnapped the patient.
Let's be honest. She didn't kidnap him.
He willingly got in her car.
But still, we need to fire her.
She never takes her father out for a walk.
She told me she never promised to do such a thing.
Right, Ju-ri?
Yes.
You guys are acquainted, aren't you?
Yes.
What? Are you serious?
-What? How? -Since when?
We knew each other for a while when we were young.
Then you guys are practically friends.
What do you think we should do about her, Ms. Nam?
I think
we should fire her.
Ms. Ko
doesn't belong here.
What are you going to do, sir?
We're not in a rush.
So let's check the patient's condition and then decide.
Okay.
Don't turn it on.
I don't want to listen to other people talking.
I want to hear you talk. Just go ahead and say anything.
Well...
Do you have nothing to say to me?
Why don't you take your father outside for walks?
You promised the hospital director.
"Promise"?
That stuff is useless like trash.
I got what I want, so I don't need it anymore.
He has dementia.
His soul is dead. His body is just an empty shell.
Why would I waste my time on something like that?
It would be better if he just died.
Why did your parents pass away?
How do you know that?
I did my research.
It was just a simple background check.
It's just like how we check the origin and expiration date of the stuff we buy.
So it's no big deal.
"Stuff"?
Are people like products to you?
What's the difference?
Children abandon their parents
when their parents become old and feeble.
Parents favor the child that makes them happy
and abandon the child that's dumb and useless.
Isn't that what happened to Teeny-weeny?
Stop the car.
What? Why?
I said, stop the car.
Why? Do you need to pee?
What's with you all of a sudden?
Why are you angry?
Just tell me why.
Hey!
What are you so angry about?
I...
forgot.
What?
That you're different from others.
I forgot that for a while.
I must've unknowingly
expected something from you.
What did you expect from me?
What is it that you expected?
It's gone now.
I love you.
I love you, Gang-tae.
I love you!
I said, I love you!
I love you so much!
You're running away again?
I said I love you! Why are you leaving?
Why? I love you! Hey!
I love you! I really love you! Hey!
He's unbelievable.
We were getting along just fine. Why did he explode all of a sudden?
Is he not right in his mind?
What in the world made him angry?
SEONGJIN VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Gosh, that was hard.
Yes, I had a hard time.
Sang-tae.
What did you learn today?
How to make jam.
It sounds like fun. Strawberry jam?
It was boring.
I was bored to death.
I'm sorry, Sang-tae.
I couldn't find any schools that teaches art in this neighborhood.
-Instead, I'll-- -I'm going to draw on the wall.
I'm going to draw on the hospital wall.
I'll draw, make money, sweep the garden, and find coins.
That's what you call "killing two birds with one stone."
Then are you going to provide for me now? I should quit and have fun.
Don't... Don't worry. Just trust me.
I'm your older brother.
I'm the older brother, so you can count on me.
Then should we buy the necessary tools?
-Is there an art supply store nearby? -I'm your older brother, not your uncle.
Gosh, this place is so gloomy.
Why are you here?
How could anyone live in a house like this,
let alone come up with ideas to write anything?
Mun-yeong, let's go back to Seoul.
Go back to the luxurious hotel and start writing your next book.
It's only been a few days since we said I disappeared.
I forgot that you're not just a writer but also a famous celebrity.
If you don't show your face to the public, they'll easily forget about you.
You have no idea how quick they forget things.
Things just disappear from their heads.
No, I don't want to go. I'm going to have fun here.
Mun-yeong, can't you have fun in Seoul?
You... You shouldn't be here.
You know why. This is where your mother...
Then
why don't you move in with me?
What?
My gosh, you seem very tired.
You should get some good rest. I'll call you again tomorrow.
I'll be off now.
That you're different from others.
I forgot that for a while.
You're different from others.
You're extremely special.
You're my greatest creation.
You are my other self.
I love you, my daughter.
-Here's your pizza. -Excuse me.
-Yes? -I read that you get a free caricature
when you order a full-size pizza.
Right, but it's only offered during the daytime. I'm sorry.
Gosh, I've been baited.
I've totally been baited.
What kind of bait can I use to persuade Mun-yeong to go back to Seoul with me?
Hey, Jae-su.
I'll get some wings
and a beer.
What's gotten into you? You never drink.
I'm just going to have one beer.
What? Something must've happened at the hospital today.
No.
Gosh, whatever. I'll drink with you.
No, you should work. I'll just drink solo.
All right, then.
I'm here alone too.
Would you like to join me?
This pizza is way too big for one person.
I see, but no thanks.
Sorry about that.
What do you think we should do about her, Ms. Nam?
I think
we should fire her.
Gosh. You're so petty, Nam Ju-ri.
What can you do though?
I have no choice but to suck up to her to earn a living.
Still, she shouldn't be here.
She absolutely shouldn't.
She shouldn't be there. Never.
I'll take her back to Seoul with me no matter what.
I have to.
Are they echoing each other?
It sounds like they're talking about the same thing.
Put them in here.
Size 8, 12...
Where's size six? There it is.
Size seven...
I love you, Gang-tae.
I love you!
I said, I love you!
-So pretty. -Because you're so pretty.
I want it.
Moon Gang-tae, what I want is you. Because I can't stop wanting you.
When I see something pretty, I want it.
And I need to have what I want.
I want this.
I'm getting this.
Hello, I'm ready to pay.
My gosh, so many!
I'm taking all this. Everything here except for the basket.
I'm getting so many things.
So many things.
-So many things. -What's the total?
It's 53,000 won.
So many things.
Thank you.
Pteranodon. They have...
They have a throat sac where they can store fish.
Flight muscles... Because of the weak flight muscles, they can't really fly...
OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
Let's get--
-Step aside. -What is this?
Jeez, what's going on?
-A-reum, are you all right? -They're scary.
They look like thugs.
All right! Go back to your rooms and have some food!
-Let's go upstairs. -Step aside.
Hey, who are those guys in suits?
Kwon Man-su's people.
Watching a fire is most entertaining, but watching a fight comes in second.
Let's go.
No, I don't like it when people fight.
A bloody storm awaits.
Sir, there must've been some misunderstanding.
Let me explain.
Please allow me to explain what happened!
Gosh.
Yes, what?
-Check. -Let's just say that I lost this round.
I have a guest coming.
I was going to win anyway.
Issue me a pass to leave the hospital as you promised.
The crazy bitch who kidnapped that lunatic
and brought him to my campaign rally,
the caregiver who helped that bitch,
and the hospital director who failed to keep them under control
and ruined my reputation should all get down on their knees in front of me.
Bring them to me now!
Oh, the horse was here.
HORSE
Gang-tae!
You're in deep trouble.
You're fucking screwed.
What do we do?
Should I really call Ms. Ko?
What if she refuses to come?
She will, 100 percent.
I'll call her.
INSTRUCTOR CONTACTS
Don't call her.
Why not?
I'll just go in there alone.
Still, I should...
Don't. Seriously, don't.
What do we do? Are we really not going to call her?
He told us not to call her, Byeol.
I'm sure he'll handle it.
Why is she taking it out on me?
"He told us not to call her."
Thank you! Thank you so much.
Thank you.
My gosh.
OK PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
See? I clearly warned you.
Why did you come alone?
Where's that bitch, your accomplice?
She's not coming. She doesn't need to be here.
She's the culprit. Who said she doesn't need to be here?
Your son escaped the hospital of his own accord.
-No one took him there against his will. -Hey.
That idiot is not well.
He strips off his clothes out of the blue and pees regardless of where he is.
And he spends tens of millions of won in one night. He's insane!
I locked him away here so that he wouldn't be able to wander around.
I can't believe you let him go at my campaign rally of all places.
I bet you people did it on purpose.
Because I said I'd shut this hospital down,
you folks egged that idiot on
to deliberately screw me over.
It may have screwed you over,
but your son's condition has improved significantly thanks to that incident.
He's well enough to be discharged soon.
Are you out of your mind?
Who's going to keep an eye on that moron if you discharge him?
It's kind of like how psychodrama works.
If you release your pent-up emotions while having the spotlight on you--
Whatever.
There are thousands of psychiatric hospitals in the country.
If I keep transferring him, I can have him locked away forever!
Gosh, you can't do that to your own son.
I don't need a son who is completely useless!
He's useless?
What?
Do children
have to be useful to their parents?
Hey.
We all
came into this world because our parents needed us.
Go ask your parents.
Whether or not they will need you
if you're completely useless!
Then you shouldn't have had him!
You punk!
You're a mere caregiver. How dare you!
Jeez!
SMILING CAN REALLY MAKE YOU HAPPY
My gosh, you're adorable.
Okay, here. Smile.
How beautiful.
A fountain!
All right. One, two, three.
Nice. Let's go.
One, two, three.
One,
two, three.
-Hey. -Hello!
Can you take a photo of me?
Sure.
What a beautiful day. The weather is so nice today.
Photos turn out great when the weather is this nice. One...
No! Go away, butterfly!
A butterfly!
Gosh, that was a butterfly!
What's with him?
Did he not like my pose?
Goodness gracious. Can't you knock?
I did. You're not going to let Assemblyman Kwon do what he wants, right?
I will.
Sir, please.
Come and have a look.
Gosh.
Then you shouldn't have had him!
You punk!
How dare you!
You're a mere caregiver.
I'm thinking of blackmailing him
with this footage, saying that I'll send this to the media.
I'll also see if I can get him to donate some money as well.
Are you serious?
Sure, why not?
As for Kwon Gi-do, I'm sure the kidnapping incident
will actually help him get better.
Then all I need to do
is punish the jerk who slapped our caregiver.
I've done nothing to get on your wrong side, right?
The sky over on this side. The sky is up here.
And the waves. The sea.
The sea should be here. Hello!
Then... The hospital should be in the middle. After that, the sea...
The sea...
The swing. The swing is under it.
What is this? Is it something only good people can see?
It's the sea.
Finally, we meet.
My dear Sang-tae.
Oh, my. What should I do?
Hello.
My gosh.
Go on in first.
Sang-tae!
-Look at the camera. -One.
Look up here. One, two, three.
My gosh! There, it's done.
Are you here because you got a call from us?
What? You told me to pretend not to know you.
What call?
Well, I was just wondering because you don't have class today.
I'm here to take Ko Dae-hwan out for a walk.
Someone got fuming mad at me for not keeping my promise,
so I came here to cool him off.
Now, I'm just doing a service for a fan.
Yes, "service." I know what "service" means.
You get a free caricature when you order a full-size pizza.
Gosh, what's he saying? This guy is so funny.
Girls like funny guys.
My gosh, I'm with writer Ko Mun-yeong.
Where are you, Sang-tae?
This is pretty. I like it.
It's 10,000 won.
You said earlier that it's free.
Did you order pizza? You didn't have any pizza.
My gosh, what do I do with you? You're so cute.
You have a dinosaur.
Come on. TWICE is much cuter. Let's be real.
Don't touch his hair.
Are you still mad at me?
Look. I'm here to take my father out for a walk.
You're mad because I didn't keep my word, right?
Sang-tae, can you go wait in the lobby?
No, I don't want to. I'm going to stay here with Ms. Ko.
-I'll stay here with Ms. Ko-- -Do as I say, please!
Just wait in the lobby.
I'll be right there.
-Sang-tae. -Hey, did someone slap you?
Who slapped you in the face?
What happened to your face?
Who's the jerk that did this to you? Who hit you?
I'll teach them a lesson. Tell me who.
I bet you just put up with it again.
You got hit and just put up with it like a loser, right?
I asked you who did this to you.
Why are you getting angry?
What?
Why are you getting so worked up?
Because someone slapped you.
So what?
Does that break your heart?
Or does it make you sad?
What exactly are you feeling right now?
You
don't know
what kind of emotion is getting you so worked up.
Even you have no clue.
You're all empty inside.
You're just loud.
Like an empty can.
So you'd better not
act like you know and understand everything about me
when you know nothing.
Don't be delusional.
You won't understand me
until the day you die.
KANG SUN-DEOK
Hello?
Gosh, I don't want to. Why not?
Don't... Oh, no.
Your expression shows your emotions
Do as I say, please!
Annoyed.
He's annoyed.
He...
hates his brother.
He hates me. No, no. Gosh, what do I do?
Why...
Oh, it's a bunny.
Come out. If you come out, I'll give you this.
Come on. I'll also make a turtle with a radish for you.
Gosh.
Gang-tae is waiting for you outside.
Are you going to stay here by yourself all night?
You need to come out so that I can tidy up quickly and go home.
Sang-tae.
Come on. Let's go home. Come out.
-Gosh, this way. Goodness. -No, I don't want to go.
Come out. My goodness!
Oh, no. My back...
No, not this.
Gosh, my back.
-Where's Sang-tae? -I'll bring him home later.
Don't worry about him and just get going. Here.
I'm sorry to make you do this.
Why are you sorry? Don't be.
Go on.
Gang-tae.
Don't eat dinner and wait for me.
I'll make delicious beef stir-fry when I get home.
I'll tag along the first few times just in case anything happens.
Are you sure all your memories got wiped out?
You're not just pretending?
Stop provoking him.
Did you
really forget what kind of person I am?
Dad.
You...
Why...
are you
still alive?
Die.
Die, you...
Go quickly.
You monster!
-Stop, Mr. Ko! -Die, you... You monster.
Over here, help!
Die, you... You monster.
Calm him down.
You're a monster.
It serves you right. You shouldn't have come here.
Ms. Ko, The Little Mermaid from last class...
She ignored me.
I think she hates me.
No, she doesn't.
"If you talk to me, I'll kill you." It's written on her forehead.
I didn't see that.
Oh, your medication must be wearing off.
Come on. You should take your pills.
So you'd better not act like you know and understand everything about me
when you know nothing.
Don't be delusional.
You won't understand me until the day you die.
You don't know what kind of emotion is getting you so worked up.
Even you have no clue.
You're all empty inside.
You're just loud.
Like an empty can.
You also won't be able to understand me
until the day you die.
ZOMBIE KID
"A baby boy was born in a small village.
He had pale skin
and large eyes.
While raising the boy,
his mother naturally came to the realization
that he had no feelings whatsoever.
All he had was the desire to eat, like a zombie.
So his mother locked him up in the basement
so that the villagers wouldn't see him.
And every night, she stole livestock from her neighbors to feed him.
That's how she raised him in secret.
One night, she'd steal a chicken.
The next day, she'd steal a pig.
A number of years passed like that.
Then one day, an epidemic broke out. It left the remaining animals dead,
and it also killed many people.
Those who survived the epidemic
left the village.
But the mother couldn't leave her son all alone.
And to appease her son crying of hunger,
she cut off one leg of hers and gave it to him.
After that, it was her arm.
She gave him all her limbs.
When she was left with nothing but her torso,
she embraced her son for the last time
-to let him devour what was left of her." -Come here.
-It's cold. -Gosh, it's raining. Come here.
-Here, come here. -Mom, wait.
HARIMGAK
Come here, Gang-tae.
Gang-tae, come on.
"With his both arms,
the boy tightly held his mother's torso
and spoke for the first time in his life.
-'Mom. -"Mom.
-You're... -You're...
so warm.'"
so warm."
You're different from others.
You're extremely special.
You're my greatest creation.
Why are you still alive?
What did the boy really want?
Satiating his hunger?
Or feeling his mother's warmth?
Oh, boy. Hey, it's pouring outside.
Hey, are you all right?
Ju-ri called.
She asked me to check in on you.
I heard you got slapped again.
Enough, seriously. Things like this really upset me.
Are you doing this on purpose or what?
By the way, I heard Ko Mun-yeong's father choked her and caused a huge scene.
What?
When? Who said that?
I overheard some patients talking about it when I went there to deliver an order.
It sounded like a lot of people saw it.
He must hate his daughter so much for him to choke her like that.
Her father is obviously not sane.
-Jae-su. -Yes?
-I need to borrow your motorcycle. -Hey, what? It's raining now.
Hey, Gang-tae! Wait!
Oh, boy.
Why is he being like that?
SPECIAL THANKS TO KWAK DONG-YEON FOR MAKING A GUEST APPEARANCE
Do you like me?
Damn it.
You must've been a servant in your past life.
And I must've been a mistress.
Get out!
-Why do you keep siding with her? -Let go.
You don't own me.
I want to forget.
She saved my life,
but I ran.
I hung out with him because I was bored.
Do you want to come pick him up? We're at the cursed castle.
