High Kick! Episode 67

Mother, we're going out.

Where are you going?

We're meeting my sisters. We're supposed to have dinner together.

- Oh. - Will you be home late?

No, we're just having dinner. We'll be back later.

- Have a good time. - Bye.

Why didn't Junha say bye? He looked all disgruntled.

- Because he doesn't want to go. - Why not?

What do you mean, why not? Would you want to go?

Those girls all married prosecutors and directors of large companies and such.

How is Junha going to feel amongst them?

I don't know why they have to meet like that. It just kills his spirit.

It's his fault he's such a failure. There's nothing wrong with the meeting.

Haemi should be the one organizing fewer meetings knowing Junha's situation.

They're just meeting to brag about themselves. It boils my blood.

Don't throw a fit because your son is a failure.

Hello? Dr. Park? Yes... Well, you know.

Sojeong Construction? I have several thousand shares. Why?

What? Are you sure?

Junha, that worthless fool. Look. Find out the details for me.

Congratulations on your recovery, Detective Lee!

Thank you. You don't know how much I've wanted to be back.

You're completely fine now, right?

You remember who we are, right?

I even remember the birthmark on your left butt cheek. How's that?

Don't worry about me. Carry on.

I think I need to say a few words to those who cared for me at the hospital.

Oh, of course.

Detective Lee!

You're okay now... Right?

Hi, this is Seo Minjung. I'm not home right now, so please leave a message.

Shinji, it's me. If you're home, please pick up!

Man, now what?

What did you forget this time?

What? Man, I'm late as it is.

I just got to the front of the school.

There you are.

Wait here.

Lee Yunho! What do you want to eat? I'll take you out.

Are you okay?

Oh... Yes.

Hey, Yunho, I'm glad I ran into you. Take this to your homeroom teacher.

What? Okay.

Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

I want to eat Chinese food.

Do you know that lady?

What? Yes.

She's not married, is she?

She's not married...

Why?

Great!

What?

Oh, I heard there's internal conflict among the political leaders.

Don't be silly. That's not true at all.

Don't spread rumors.

Oh, right. You're not doing anything these days, are you?

What?

I do some investment consulting... Stuff like that...

Why?

My brother operates a small trade company, and I think they're looking for people.

You came to mind. I was wondering if you're interested.

What kind of work is it?

Well, I don't think it's a high-ranking position, but...

Are you interested?

What?

That guy is a detective at the Dongjak Police Station.

And you're saying that detective likes me?

I think so. He kept asking me about you and then went away in a good mood.

Oh. He didn't call, did he? He asked me for your number, too.

Oh, I can't believe this.

What did you give him my number for?

He's not a bad guy. He's a 35-year-old bachelor.

Bachelor or not, do I look like I'm in a state to be dating guys?

Unbelievable.

Don't you dare tell anyone at home about this. Got it?

Yes. I should go. Bye.

Should I open it?

Oh, you're here, too.

Hello, Miss Shinji.

You really came. How did you know where she lives?

I'm a detective.

Hello. My name is Lee Seohyun of the Violent Crime Division.

So?

You look very nice. I'm just making a preliminary investigation today.

What?

I have to go to the scene of a crime, so I don't have time now,

but I'll barge in again tomorrow.

What? Why would you barge in?

We'll get to know each other formally tomorrow, Miss Shinji.

See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Hey. Wait a minute! What was that?

I think he just asked you on a date.

You've got to be kidding me.

Hey. You really can't tell anyone about this.

Not Minyong, or Mother, or your mother. I'll kill you myself.

Okay.

What were you thinking, giving him my number? I should just...

What's she like?

She's round and cute. Just my type.

So did you ask her out?

I said I would barge in tomorrow.

Hello.

Oh, you're Mrs. Na's grandson. How are you?

Do you mind if I try?

Throw it.

Park Chan-ho's 100 mph speedballs!

Batter Lee Seung-yeop! Who will win?

Park Chan-ho winds up.

And, the pitch!

- Detective Lee! - Detective Lee!

- Detective Lee! - Detective Lee!

It's just a slight concussion.

He's sleeping right now. There's nothing to worry about.

Let's wait until he wakes up.

Thank goodness. I was afraid he'd relapse.

Relapse?

Well, you see... Detective Lee...

Hello? What did you find out?

What? Really?

Just great. Oh, that Junha, I'm going to...

Be careful, sir!

Isn't that dangerous? Sliding down a pole at his age?

He always uses it.

Hello? Something came up. Yes, I understand.

Kids, I have to see to something. Would you mind watching him?

- No problem. - Sure.

Call me if he wakes up. Thanks.

- Bye. - Bye.

Your brother-in-law's brother's company?

Yes. I don't think it's related to stocks. It's just an office job.

If it's your brother-in-law's brother's company... Does he have to work there?

I don't feel good about it, either, honey.

But they did think of you, so think about it before you say no.

It's up to you.

I'd rather not.

So don't. It's not like you'll starve because you don't work there.

Where is Junha, that moron?

- What? - You!

How could you be such a penniless idiot?

- What's wrong? - What are you doing?

What did you say? What about Sojeong? They're mass building in Libya?

What happened?

You idiot! They're going bankrupt! Bankrupt!

Really?

You say you're an expert stock analyst but you know less than the average person!

What are you good for?

Never touch stocks again! I'll do it myself from now on!

Sell everything now! Now!

- Honey. - Father, calm down.

That stupid punk. Oh, that idiot, no, he's the bane of my existance.

He's anxious enough as it is. You couldn't have waited?

Why did you have to do that in front of Haemi as well?

What does he have to be anxious about?

All he does is stuff his face and go to the bathroom!

He had a job offer.

A job offer?

From his brother-in-law. The prosecutor.

His brother owns a trade company. There's an office employee opening.

So?

Well, if he works there, it'll probably be uncomfortable.

Why? What's wrong with that?

At least he'll be working.

He can't afford to be picky! Beggars can't be choosers!

You know how that family looks down on Junha. He still has his pride.

Pride?

I think... It's just not...

Really? Okay. Then don't do it. I'll call Hyeyoung.

I'm sorry, honey.

No. I wouldn't like it if you had to go and do menial work.

Okay.

Sorry.

Hey.

Yes?

- Hey. - Yes?

I heard you got a job offer. Why aren't you taking it?

Well, that...

You still don't get it, do you? You're not in a place to be picky.

So what if it's through your brother-in-law? Why does that matter?

No, but... It isn't my field of expertise.

You're the head of your household. The head of your household.

How many years has it been since you've lived up to that role?

You haven't once been able to support your boys' schooling. And what?

You're worried about your pride and the field of work?

Do you think you don't need to work because your father and wife are?

No, of course not... But I just don't think this job...

Then go. Work.

Are you going to spend the rest of your life as a do-nothing?

Father, I already said he's not...

If you throw this opportunity away for some silly pride, I'll make you pay. Got it?

Real pride would have you supporting your kids and wife.

That's what real pride is. Moron.

W-who are you? Who are you?

Uncle Minyong. That's Detective Lee. He got injured, so he's staying here.

W-what?

Get up, Detective Lee. Officer Ko called.

What?

Hello.

You're Mrs. Na's grandson.

Why am I here?

You don't remember?

You got hit in the head with a ball yesterday and fainted.

What?

Throw it.

Park Chan-ho winds up.

And, the pitch!

Oh, right.

You remember, right?

Yes, I do.

- Hello. - Hi.

I have to go to the scene of the crime, so I don't have time today,

but I'll barge in again tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Oh, right! My date!

Hey, is there a public bath house around here?

Yes, right in front.

Thanks. Bye.

Where are you going?

On a date!

Father.

I... I... I start work today.

You were right. I can't let pride stop me...

I'm going to work hard. Don't worry.

Good. I'm glad you see it that way.

I should get ready for work now.

Okay. Go get ready.

Okay.

Is he finally growing up now?

He may be a detective, but he's crazy. He just charged in without warning.

My love life is cursed. I've got all these weirdos chasing me.

Do I look that easy?

Hold on a second.

Who is it?

Hi, it's Lee Seohyun.

Who?

- Oh no. - What is it?

That detective. He's really here. He must be crazy coming this early.

Really? What are you going to do?

Man. I don't think he's going to take no for an answer.

Oh, I'll just say I have a boyfriend. I'll talk to you later.

Hello.

Hi. Are you here to take me out?

Yes, I told you I would barge in today. The weather's really nice, too.

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to tell you yesterday.

I have a fiance.

- What? - I'm really sorry.

Oh, I see. I had no idea. Bye.

Good-bye.

Mom, where's my soup?

I'm leaving now.

- Now? - Yes.

I'm going to drop him off.

Father, I'll be back later.

- Okay. - Have a good day.

Oh, come on. Bye.

I've never felt so ill-at-ease even though he's working.

It's not even what he used to do. It's probably just grunt work.

Not to mention it's through his brother-in-law...

You made him do it, didn't you? You shouldn't have done that.

Who made who do what? Do what?

You'd have to kill me first before I worked under those conditions.

Yeah.

Psycho.

Why not? Why wouldn't you? He can't be picky.

All these penniless bums have to show is their foolish prides.

Detective Lee, why are you here again?

I think I left my planner here. Do you mind looking for it?

Your planner?

What's wrong? I thought you were going on a date? Did it not go well?

I was very nicely rejected.

Where's the bathroom? Is that it?

N-no. Over there.

I have to go to the scene of the crime, so I don't have time today,

but I'll barge in again tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Oh, right! My date!

Your planner isn't here.

- Hey, I'll see you later. - Where are you going?

On a date!

He just came back from a date and now he's going on another?

Wow, he must get a lot of dates.

The door was open.

Hello, Shinji.

Did I surprise you? I told you I would barge in today.

You're not here to take me out on a date again, are you?

Yes. The weather's really nice, too.

But I already told you. I have a fiance.

What?

I'm sorry, but if you keep doing this...

Oh, really? I had no idea.

Is he playing games with me?

I told him I had a fiance already. Why is he pretending to be surprised?

Hello? Yunho?

What? He keeps coming?

You said he wasn't strange. Is he really a detective? He seems psycho.

What?

Is he...

Hello.

Yes, how can I help you?

Mr. Kim Jeongsik said I should...

Oh, just a minute.

I won't be here until 5:00 P.M., so if Tresco calls, transfer the call to my cell.

Yes, sir. This is the man Prosecutor Kim recommended.

Oh, right. You're Jeongsik's brother-in-law.

Yes. Nice to meet you.

Same here. I'm afraid I'm a little busy right now...

Miss Yoon here will help you get settled.

Miss Yoon, get Mr. Lee here settled. I'll see you later.

Okay.

Follow me.

It's not that complicated. I just need you to help me out.

You've opened letters of credit, right?

Well, I haven't done it before, but if you teach me...

I came to find my planner.

Oh, here.

Is your date over already?

I was very nicely rejected.

- Again? - Again?

Where's the bathroom? Is it here?

I told you, it's over there.

I have to go to the scene of the crime, so I don't have time today,

but I'll barge in again tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Oh, right! My date!

Hey, I'll see you later.

Where are you going?

On a date!

- He's got it, doesn't he? - Definitely. It's back.

Why do you keep doing this? I mean, honestly.

What? I told you yesterday that I would barge in. Did I surprise you?

I already told you very clearly. I have a fiance.

What?

Are you playing games with me? Why are you surprised?

What do you mean games?

- Hello? Hey, it's me.

You're a real freak, you know that?

- Right? I knew it! - Look.

I have a fiance, okay?

I've told you this several times already. What's wrong with you?

It's not like I can report a detective to the police...

I had no idea. Goodbye.

What was that? He's a total psycho.

Hey. He keeps making me repeat myself. What does he think he's doing?

Aunt Shinji. Don't get mad.

He has short term memory loss.

What? Short term what?

Man. We thought he was better, but he's got it again.

You just need a few more days of acupuncture. Show her out.

- Please follow me. - Sure.

Oh, come on. Bye.

- Hello? - It's me.

Father. What is it?

Well... How's work?

Well, you know.

I know it's not what you're used to, but... Think of it as a learning experience.

Mr. Lee, I need that over here now.

- What are you doing? - Yes. Coming.

You don't need to copy those. Just five pages each of these.

Oh, really? Sorry.

We need to fax the copies as well. To this number.

Yes, yes. Father. I'm a little busy right now.

- Okay. - I'll talk to you later.

He's not going to come again, is he?

I think he probably will, until he's better.

Short term memory loss is when you remember up to a certain point,

and then forget everything afterwards.

Detective Lee must only remember up to the point he asked you out.

What do I do, then?

Does that mean I have to reject him every three hours?

That's why I think this is your only option. Look here.

See, now why did you have to go and give him my number?

It's all your fault!

This is so embarrassing. I can't even talk to anyone about this.

Don't you dare tell anyone about this! I'll kill you.

I won't, I promise.

Okay, ready? Smile.

Cheese!

What are you doing? The director has to leave soon.

He says he's never opened an L/C before. I've been trying to teach him that.

Then do it yourself. Why waste time?

I'm just one person. I haven't even eaten yet, sir.

Okay, okay.

Look... I'll take care of this.

I'm sorry, but you know the director? Would you please wash his car?

What?

We have to pick up some VIP clients. Make sure it's really clean. Thanks.

I'll take care of this.

Well, about that. I'm telling you, it's because of the bill.

Where's Mr. Kim?

He stepped out for a minute.

Man.

Then... I'm sorry, but could you get these shoes repaired?

Oh. Sure.

Junha!

Father!

Let's go, Junha.

Father.

Mr. Lee, where are you going?

I have to go to the scene of the crime, so I don't have time today,

but I'll barge in again tomorrow. See you tomorrow.

Oh, right! Date!

Detective Lee, Please Watch This

What's this?

Hello, Detective Lee.

Shinji!

Detective Lee, you're on your way to take me out, right?

How did she know?

Please don't. I've already rejected you over 10 times now.

You don't understand, do you?

Pay attention carefully to what I say from now on.

And don't be too sad.

Detective Lee, you're suffering from short term memory loss.

Hello.

I'm really sorry, but I have a fiance.

What?

I'm really sorry, but I have a fiance.

Detective Lee, I have a fiance.

I see.

Shinji rejected me.

Now do you understand?

I'm really sorry I had to reject you like that.

I wish you a speedy recovery.

And don't be too sad. There are many good women out there. Goodbye.
