SUNG-HO'S STRAWBERRIES

Hey. Why did you only show up now?

Did you go see your mom at the hospital?

Sung-ho.

Can I borrow your phone?

No answer?

No.

Do you have any idea where you left it?

I think I left it on the train.

You can use mine for the day. I'm not expecting calls anyway.

It's okay. I'm sure there's a phone at home.

At home?

This house is still the best one in the village.

Hello?

Hello. You found this phone, right?

Yes.

I'm the owner of that phone. Did I leave it on the train?

Yes.

Where are you? I'll come and pick it up from you.

- Maybe she'll give us some money. Ask her. - You ask her.

Is there a reward?

Sorry?

This is a Galaxy Note 9, right?

We'll call you back.

Hello?

The number you have called is currently unavailable. Please leave a message…

The number you have called…

FIND MY DEVICE

LOOKING FOR MY DEVICE

Hello?

You were right.

My mom's insane.

I'm totally locked up in the house.

I'm sorry, but who were you trying to call?

Isn't this Sun-hee's number?

No, I think you have the wrong number…

Do you see this film covering the right side of the brain?

This surgery requires us to make an incision on the skin,

then we must split the skull in order to remove the tumor.

We can't perform the surgery here.

It's a complicated procedure, so she'll need to go to a bigger hospital.

A one or two millimeter difference can lead to a coma or a paralysis.

You're cutting away all the fruit.

Do you remember Young-mi?

No.

You know, my friend who works in insurance.

She has fair skin and a high nose bridge.

What about her?

She'll take care of it.

Take care of what?

What do you think? The insurance payout.

It's impossible to save up 100 million won working at a convenience store.

You should…

go visit Dad's grave tomorrow.

Ask the manager there

if I should be buried beside him,

or if we should be buried together.

Mom, how can you even say that?

What?

Do you think you have the right to be buried next to Dad?

What?

Am I wrong?

You shouldn't talk like that.

Do you still feel like painting your nails in this situation?

FEBRUARY 24, 1965 – NOVEMBER 27, 1999

Hello?

Sun-hee! I think Mom's trying to kill me.

I'm sorry?

Come over now. You know my address, right? 4, Yeongcheon-ri, Bosung-eup!

Who are you? You keep calling me.

Isn't this Sun-hee's store?

No, it's not.

Bullshit. Are you doing this on purpose?

What?

THE PLAGUED BATHROOM SHALL BE BURNT DOWN IN SECRET AND MOTHER SETS ME ON FIRE

Do you know her?

Young-sook…

Young-sook?

Was she a shaman?

No, not Young-sook. But her mother was.

Did our house used to belong to a shaman?

No, I wouldn't say that.

You just said her mother was a shaman.

Well, that was ages ago.

It was back in the '90s, so I hardly remember anything.

- But you knew her name... - Strawberry, what's this?

I told you not to do this.

How many times do I have to tell you? Come here. Come.

Come here.

Come on! Come here.

NOVEMBER 26, 1999

SUN-HEE'S STORE

Sun-hee, please come help me! Hurry!

What?

Mom's trying to set me on fire now!

My mom is trying to…

Hello?

Hello?

Give it here.

Hello?

Why didn't you come yesterday?

How can you do this to me?

Is your address really 4, Yeongcheon-ri, Bosung-eup?

Isn't this Sun-hee?

I saw your picture, Ms. Oh Young-sook.

The one that was taken on November 26, 1999.

What?

But it's the 18th today.

Did you write this in your diary yesterday?

"New life was born, and the parents began to oppress again"?

NEW LIFE WAS BORN, AND THE PARENTS BEGAN TO OPPRESS AGAIN

Are you watching me right now?

This is going to be hard to believe,

but I think…

we're in the same house right now.

I'm sorry. I must've called the wrong number.

Wait.

PLANE CRASHES NEAR GIMPO AIRPORT, 136 PASSENGERS INJURED

I want fried chicken! I want spicy chicken!

Golly, that looks delicious!

Hurry up and eat.

Do you want to starve?

Do you call this food? Damn it.

What?

Does this even work?

Do you want to go back to the mental hospital?

Do you want to end up like your mom?

Oh Young-sook.

Oh Young-sook.

This is happening because of bad feng shui.

- You'll feel better as soon as we move. - Breaking news.

There's been a domestic airline accident.

This afternoon, flight 1633 slipped off the runway

while trying to land at Gimpo Airport.

PLANE CRASH AT GIMPO AIRPORT

Hello?

How did you know?

How old are you, Young-sook?

I'm 28.

I'm also 28.

I was…

I was born in 1972.

Oh.

You like Seo Taiji, don't you?

This is Seo Taiji's song?

He'll return from the States and make a comeback in 2000.

It sounds like him, but…

So there's a computer inside the phone?

Yes.

It's called a smartphone. You can do almost anything with it.

What about music?

Do you have Walkmans?

"Walkmans"?

Yes.

Don't you know what they are?

They play music.

Oh, music?

Of course you can.

You can take pictures, watch movies, and even shop on your phone.

Sounds like you're lying to me.

I can understand. When I was young,

I never imagined we'd be able to make video calls.

Video calls?

Yes, you can see the other person while talking on the phone.

That's possible?

Are you curious about anything else?

I wonder what I'll be like.

Oh, good question.

You want me to find out?

OH YOUNG

No.

Why not? Finding you would be a piece of cake.

My mom told me that I'm cursed with a wretched fortune.

She said I was born with a brutal, atrocious fate.

Anyway, she's crazy.

She locks me up at home and doesn't let me see anyone.

Do you not get along with your mother?

With my mom?

That woman is not my real mom.

My real mom is dead.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

It's not like you killed her.

Actually, I also lost my dad when I was young.

Really?

How?

There was a fire at our place.

My mom forgot to turn off the gas valve.

Hey, Young-sook.

Yes?

What did you say the date was over there?

Seo-yeon, I think my mom's coming.

I'll call you back in a bit.

Hey, wait.

NOVEMBER 21, 1999

We're here!

Wow! Chickens!

Hey, be careful. Don't run.

What a nice house! Isn't the air so clean?

A missionary used to live here.

It's a luxurious mansion, which is hard to come by in this area.

I see.

You shouldn't touch that.

It's a nice location with good feng shui.

You know what our elders always say.

You've got to live on a good lot to improve your health and wealth.

You said it's about 100 pyeong both floors combined, right?

That's right.

It's pretty big.

Oh, they have fish.

Hey, don't run.

Look, it's spacious enough for your kid to run around.

Could we see upstairs too?

Seo-yeon.

Seo-yeon?

Stop poking around in someone else's home.

What's that room for?

That's my daughter's room.

Just a moment.

Open the door.

Hello.

Dad.

That girl is scary.

Seo-yeon.

I'm so sorry. She's too young to know better.

Is your name Seo-yeon?

Hello?

Hey! Wake up. Now!

What is it?

Hold on.

I guess you're planning to run a farm or something?

Yes. We want to live in a quiet and peaceful place now.

And it'd be nice for my daughter to grow up close to nature.

Oh, yeah? This is the best place for that.

I'm thinking of starting a flower farm.

Well, it won't be easy for city folks like you.

I'm originally from Bosung.

Oh? Are you?

Yes, I sure am.

Dad, come on. Chickens.

All right, let's go.

- Did you see them in the yard? - Yes.

When did you see them?

Did you hear them?

What do you think?

Hello?

You're shocked, aren't you?

Hey…

Young-sook, I…

What?

Can you…

You know what? I have a fun idea.

Maybe I can

bring your dad back to life.
