The Bacchus Lady Page #3

So-young.

Youn So-young.

I... am... sorry.

Why are you saying that?

To meet you... Like this...

I...

Pardon?

Don't I... stink?

No, you don't.

It's okay.

I... can... not... eat alone.

Can't... do...

any... thing... alone.

Must be nice to have others

do things for you.

I... can't even...

Even die... without help.

Don't be so fussy.

Let's go.

But...

They won't ignore me if I

go with a man.

I have a deadline for this.

It's urgent.

Will two packs do it?

Damn... All right.

But I don't need the cigs.

I'm not that inconsiderate.

Gosh...

Let's go. Come on.

- Get us something to drink, please.

- Yes.

You shouldn't have taken

the child, ma'am.

His mom was heartbroken.

I am sorry.

That's called abduction.

Kidnapping.

You can go to jail for this.

She gets it, please.

She was taking care of the kid

who was running away.

And the boy is fine,

as you see.

How are things with his mom?

The man accused her of injury

so now she's in jail.

We appointed a lawyer and translator

to file the paternity suit.

But we were at a dead end

with the child gone missing.

I am terribly sorry.

This picture might help.

You had this?

Of course this helps.

A lot.

We can speed up the process.

We also need the boy's hair

for the DNA test.

Yes, but can I keep him

while you're preparing the suit?

Ah... that's not...

We are not bad people.

Mom!

Min-ho! Min-ho!

Are you all right, Son?

Mommy!

You're not ill?

Are you eating well?

Mom...

It won't be long...

Mom will be out soon.

Min-ho...

Are you really okay?

I was so worried about you.

I really want to be with you.

I see you in my dreams

every night.

I've missed you so much.

Mom... when do you come out?

Be patient for a little more...

I'll come for you as soon as

I'm out of here.

So be a good boy, all right?

Don't worry. He's with me.

I take care him.

'Thank you.

Thank you so much.'

How about a date?

You won't be disappointed.

Come on.

We'll only be able to come

see you next summer.

Take care until then.

I'm sorry

we can't come often, Dad.

Business is down these days.

Come here and

say good-bye to Grandpa.

See you later.

Give him a hug.

Yes, come in.

Can I help you?

It's... Ms... Youn.

I see.

How do you do?

Could you give us a minute?

Sure.

Where did you meet her?

Is she a decent person?

Friend.

You should

be careful of strange ladies.

Old gold-diggers are tricking

lonely gentlemen these days...

Hey!

Why would she visit an old man

in a hospital?

She must be planning something...

You can see him today.

But don't come back.

He has an excellent caregiver.

And be aware that

my father-in-law has no money.

Let's hurry.

We'll be late for dinner.

Th... thanks.

You've been so nice to me.

My kids... they're cold...

Such Americans now.

That's how people these days are.

Why? Something wrong?

C... call the nurse.

Ah... Yes.

There you go.

It... is... humiliating.

I... want to... die.

I understand.

You were such a dandy man.

This is... not... living.

Please... help me.

Kitty.

Kitty!

- Hello.

- Hello.

Looking for something?

The bugs on my persimmon tree

are driving me crazy.

I need to kill the bugs...

Then this will do.

It's the strongest one.

Look...

It's all right...

Granny!

Do you remember me?

Granny!

I told you not to

call me that.

I'm sorry.

Please hear me out.

Screw you.

You just want a good story.

Go find someone else.

Ma'am, I'm begging you.

I came here to see you.

I'm not ashamed of

making a living.

But I don't want to

let the whole world know.

You'll look pretty on camera.

Help me, please.

Damn, stop bothering me.

What if I blur out your face?

And autotune your voice?

Please, ma'am!

What do you want to hear?

Your story, ma'am.

A truthful story.

F*** the truth.

People don't give a damn.

They only listen to

what they want to hear.

And don't call me ma'am.

I hate that.

What should I call you then?

Mrs?

Madam?

Just don't call me.

Then I ended up in Jongno

about 5 years ago.

I had to make a living.

It's easy to judge,

but there aren't many options

for an old woman like me.

And my vanity didn't allow me

to pick up the waste on the street.

I must've sinned

a lot in a previous life.

I had to earn my own living

all my life.

I worked as a house maid

when I was little.

Worked at a factory, too.

Then even a U.S. Army base...

Since I heard they paid a lot.

So you became a prostitute

for the American soldiers?

Who else then?

The Japs?

- I'm old, but not that old.

- Right...

I have to stop.

I've talked too much.

Or we can just take a break.

Have some more beer.

Nope.

You've wasted my day.

But why are you making this?

Make a film about love.

People like that.

Like 'Love Story' or

'Roman Holiday'.

Will you tell me your love story

when I come again next time?

Screw you.

In your wildest dreams.

Do something that pays the bills.

Or you'll end up old

and miserable like me.

Yes...

Here.

It's not much.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I'll make this

a good film for you.

Whatever.

Good-bye.

I'll come again.

Can I take your order, please?

I want some chicken.

Yes, chicken to go.

- What size would you like?

- It's for me and a child.

- How about a half bucket?

- Okay.

- Any drinks?

- No, it's okay.

That'll be $11.99.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

- I'd like the bigger one.

- You mean the jumbo bucket?

- Yes, that one.

- Sure.

One jumbo bucket.

That's $19.99.

I can help you pay now.

I don't need your help.

Unless you'll pay for me.

- Excuse me?

- Will it take long?

Three to four minutes.

Here's your change.

One jumbo bucket to go!

'American soldier.'

'I'm a half-breed.'

Jumbo bucket is ready!

Your order is ready!

Thank you.

Come again.

Good evening.

Hi.

I bought some chicken.

Come join.

Chicken!

I needed some protein.

Hey.

Hello.

I don't have work today.

My head got all cloudy

being at home alone.

- So you're doing fine?

- Yes.

Did you hear the news?

About "Savile Row Song"?

That old fellow is dead.

Must've eaten something bad.

Threw up all over.

Blocked his airway

and choked to death.

It's a bit strange though.

The family handled it in secrecy.

They didn't even do the autopsy.

I think he died well.

As he was able to leave

in peace while sleeping.

Is he better off up there?

Who knows?

It's all over when you're dead.

No one's ever returned.

It's a big question.

What is the best way to die...

I really hope he's in

a better place now.

Let's believe it.

What good is living if you're only

lying for a few more years?

I hope he's in a better place.

Because I helped him go.

He... desperately...

Desperately wanted to leave...

I knew...

I shouldn't have...

What are you talking about?

I thought it'd be better...

For him to leave as soon

as possible.

So I helped him go.

For god's sake.

Why did you do that?

I know.

I must be insane.

Goodness...

Who is it?

It's me.

I'm coming down.

- Been working this late?
