-What?

-Come on! Hurry!

They're in a fight.

-I'm the one who got attacked!

-All right.

Don't you see the blood?

Call the chief of police!

Let's just go to the station

and sort it out there!

I didn't fight back!

Open up!

-Man-sik!

-What's going on here?

Bro!

-He made the report.

-What report?

Yeon-hee sold him spoiled food

and Hyung-sik beat him up.

- It's hard to know exactly what happened.

- Look at my eyes, bastard!

Can't we just

settle it here?

When a report's been made,

we've got to go to the station.

-Can't we work this out?

-No!

Stop the car!

Are you sick

or something?

I'm dying!

-Hang in there!

-I'm dying, man!

Hold on, we're almost there.

-Where should I put him down?

-Where's he hurt?

-It's food poisoning.

-What did he eat?

-Shampoo!

-Shampoo?

Stay calm!

Lie on your side!

Stay calm!

Hold still!

Oh, no!

It's definitely blocked by something.

Don't think it'll work.

Use my hands?

Hello?

Hello?

How are preparations

for the event coming along?

I'm not sure we'll be able

to even do the event right.

It's that bad?

Now it's going down just fine.

What kind of luxury hotel

has clogged up drains?

Thanks, anyway.

What? Is there a problem?

It's just that...

The hotel isn't paying you?

Usually I get my travel cost covered

on a late call.

Hello!

I'm sorry. Never mind!

Unbelievable!

Do you think this'll take

the water pressure?

This measuring unit could have given

early warning of the tsunami 5 years ago.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

The only thing we can do is

counter-calculate Japan's figures

and just take a wild guess.

If we wait for the Japanese to act,

it's going to be too late.

I agree.

But do you think it'll work?

Stop slacking, don't you want

to beat the Japanese to it?

I'm very sorry.

An apology doesn't get you

off the hook.

When things are running smoothly,

you go and piss someone off.

The report's gone

to the top,

so there's nothing

I can do about it.

Go to a quiet place and stay

there for a few days.

A quiet place?

Stop crying

and answer the questions, okay?

Sit down, you punk!

I came with my mom and her friend.

Mom's friend? What about your dad?

No, but I know Mom's phone number.

We plan to restrict access

and have teatime here.

Coming out into a space like this

will leave an impression.

-Excuse me.

-When seeing this side...

Yes. This is she.

What?

Incoming call:
Yoo-jin

Professor.

We're getting continuous reports

of radon gas leaks!

What?

Hello?

Ji-min!

Are you Ji-min's guardian?

Yes.

She said that she didn't have a father.

Her mom told me she'd be late

and asked me to come.

Would you mind waiting here

for a moment?

We can only hand her over

to the official guardian.

I see.

What's this?

Use that to help you move your business.

That's all right. No use trying this on me.

People died on the Eok-jo,

the families are all our members.

No matter how much you offer,

they'll never leave their stores.

Don't waste your energy.

Was it all my fault?

You forced the ship out of the port

knowing a typhoon was coming.

The bodies weren't even found.

What? Does it sting a little?

Don't contact me again!

Do you think you know

all there is to know about the world?

Don't be fooled.

The only reason I'm not forcing

anyone out is you and Yeon-hee.

Go ahead and force us out then.

You can't come in here.

-Please leave!

-Let me just sell one.

Did you have anything to eat?

What do you want me to get for you?

Excuse me!

What can I offer you?

Give us a kimbap and a doughnut.

-All right.

-How much is that?

4,000 won.

-Keep the change.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much!

-Have a nice day.

Thank you, officer!

-Ji-min!

-Mommy!

-What happened? You okay?

-I got lost.

I told you to stay right next to Hae-chan!

Why you gotta go get lost

and make me sick with worry?

Hey, this is your doing!

You don't get to cry.

Can't you see Mommy's busy working?

Listen carefully!

I don't care who you meet or who you date,

but if something happens to her,

I'm not gonna sit and watch.

Now you're the father of the year,

after all those years of not caring?

-What?

-Don't worry about it!

We won't be meeting

under these circumstances ever again.

I've got to leave.

Let's go.

Thank you.

If you were relocated,

you should have at least told me that!

I spent my whole day looking for you!

What are you doing? Come out!

That's not going to be easy.

We know each other too well.

I'm asking you to do it

because it isn't going to be easy.

You just have to persuade Man-sik.

Don't worry about Man-sik.

I can handle him.

All right, then

I won't say anything any more.

If you handle this well,

I'll make sure you get your own store.

You're looking really pretty today.

It took you long enough!

It's about time you got married.

Why don't you introduce me

to a good man first?

Really?

Should I find a guy for you?

Enough of that!

I'm serious.

You know the chairman

of the fishing village, Jin-seung?

He has a good education

and his personality seems pretty good.

Wanna give him a try?

-Are you serious?

-Huh?

Are you being serious?

No, I mean...

That's upsetting.

Hey, bro!

It's been a long time!

It's time for you to clean up your act.

You're getting old, aren't you worried?

I'm actually planning

to start up my own business.

That's why I'm here,

to ask Man-sik for some help.

By the way,

your father's memorial date is

coming close, right?

You even remember

the date of my father's memorial?

That's really touching.

It's no big deal.

I was at his side when he died,

of course I remember the date.

Thanks to Man-sik,

we were on that fishing boat that day.

Bugger off!

What brought you to Haeundae?

My name's not ''you''.

It's Kim Hi-mi!

And why do you ask

such cliché questions?

I came to have a good time.

You said that you go

to Ewha Women's University, right?

-That's right.

-So, your major is...

I'm going to be in the theatre programme.

I mean, I'm in the programme.

Then you must be good at acting.

I'm not that great.

You wanna see?

No, that's all right.

You son of a b*tch!

It's no use trying to persuade me!

Is love just a game to you?

You did everything to win me over

and you're ending it?

Are you human?

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm never giving up our baby!

No, I can't!

I will keep it!

I'll raise it on my own.

If you're going to go, just go!

Get lost!

My baby...

No, it's not what it looks like.

-I'm gonna kill myself.

-Please, don't!

Let me have some.
