Good. Thank you.

I mean, they agreed to sign the

contract last week.

Now they're dragging their feet

and saying weird things,

so they must be looking around.

=Tunnel ahead. Please drive

safely.=

If they signed the contract,

I was going to buy you a bag.

Wait until next time.

=You shouldn't be wasting

your money.=

=Just think about what to

buy Su Jin for her birthday

besides a puppy.=

=Just think about what to

buy Su Jin for her birthday

besides a puppy.=

Our place is too small for a dog.

And they shed too much.

=Oh, I don't know.

What time will you be here?=

I have to take the car into the

garage first.

The horn doesn't work.

=So, when will you be home?=

About 5:

I bought the cake.

Se Hyeon, I'll be home soon!

=Okay.=

Yes, Sir.

I am Lee Jeong Su with the

Hado Agency. I'm driving

now, so please go ahead.

=I told you that I needed

10 cars.=

=But it turns out I'm a little

short of funds.=

=I've decided to buy 8. Can you

include 3 fire extinguishers?=

Sir, my life's motto is all about

3 things.

Offer more. Deliver more.

Discount more.

Of course we can.

Especially since it affects

children's safety.

=You're very refreshing. Then

I'll buy 8. Let's sign the contract

on Monday.=

Thank you, Sir. I will continue

to work hard.

=So, what is the total cost?=

I was a liberal arts major, so

my math skills aren't very good.

I'll stop the car after this tunnel

and figure it out.

Then I'll call you right back.

=Okay, let's do that.=

I'll call you back in a minute.

Thank you.

Please speak louder.=

This is Hado Tunnel!

=The Hado Tunnel on Highway

18, is that right?=

That's right.

It's collapsed inside and I'm

trapped in here.

Hello? Hello?

=This is 119 headquarters.=

=Did you say the tunnel has

collapsed around your car?=

I said the tunnel collapsed...

There are rocks on top of me

and rocks all around.

=So how bad does the collapse

seem?=

Very serious. It's completely

caved in.

Stop asking. Can't you just

come quickly?

=Yes, yes. Sir, what is your

name?=

Lee Jeong Su. Lee Jeong Su.

I'm with the Hado Kia Agency.

Lee Jeong Su.

=Okay.=

How long will it be?

=Lee Jeong Su. Okay. If there's

no traffic, they should be there

in 5 minutes.=

Hello? Mister.

=Please wait in a safe place.=

Hello?

Safe place? What bullshit.

If he'd only put in $30 worth

of gas,

I would have made it through

this tunnel. Seriously.

Because of the new construction,

there was almost no traffic

But the first call made to 119

was made from someone inside

The rescue work has already

begun,

but it may take a long time

due to the size of the slide.

=Do you have any food in there

with you?=

You said it may take a long

time.

What does that mean?

=You mean the rescue team

hasn't told you the plan?=

Just how long a period of time

are you talking about?

They can't get me out of here

immediately?

=It seems they haven't

explained the situation to you.=

=They aren't sure about the

Hado side,=

completely collapsed.=

=The entrance is totally

destroyed.=

mood right now?=
