Are you sleeping with that chick on the side?

You bastard!

I know you play cheap tricks to win those goddamn bets.

But don't ever do this again. If you do, you'll be sorry.

Stop licking every horse owner's ass you see!

Cheer up, Sieun. You should stay.

This isn't the path for me.

Take care.

Come on, honey.

I told you not to play with that. Stay here.

Or else, I'm not taking you to the theme park ever again.

Stay with me, darling. Come on now.

I'm a sheriff from Club Hong Kong.

Come to Club Hong Kong!

Hey, Mister! Today Club Hong Kong has a show time!

Club Hong Kong!

Sir! Wait! Stop the bus!

Sheriff! What are you doing?

Hey! Hey!

Club Hong Kong Hey, lady! Get out of there!

Thunder...

Thunder...

Thunder... It's you...

Sieun! It's you!

Sieun! Sieun!

Wow, my little girl!

What are you doing out here?

Dad's going to kill you if he sees you here!

You look great!

Try some of this.

I'll take good care of Thunder.

How's it feel to be back?

It's a family reunion!

Thank you for staying with my father.

It was awful, really.

I wanted to run away from home, like you did.

But I had no place to go.

Look over there.

Your father must be nervous about seeing you again in so long.

Look at him trying to keep himself busy!

Your father was hard on himself after he sold Thunder.

After all, he thinks of his horses as his own children.

He looked everywhere for Thunder after you left.

You were born to race.

It must have eaten you up inside not to be able to race.

How do you like your new shoes?

Thank you.

Thank you for staying alive...

Thank you for coming back.

Thank you.

Any calls for $18,000?

No bids? No bids? Going around once!

No sale! No sale!

I don't see any horses for me.

I'm sorry about that. You traveled far.

It's not easy to meet a good friend.

I'll find a good one soon.

There's someone I want to introduce you to.

- She lives here in Jeju. - Is that so?

Isn't this place beautiful? Your mother loved this spot.

This is where I promised your mom I'll take care of you.

I promised to stay by your side forever.

Will you do the same for me?

I don't know how to pick good horses.

What do you look for in a horse?

Most people can tell by the eyes.

But I tend to look at the legs of the horse.

A good horse has a strong, fierce gait.

That's what makes a good racehorse.

But not many horses have that.

What about that horse?

- What? - That one.

We might not look decent, but I swear our horses are.

Ikdu may be old, but he knows his horses.

- I thought you were older than he is. - No, he's my big brother.

This fire is great.

This is the most beautiful of Jeju I've seen yet.

Yeah?

The Association decided not to penalize you for the race.

After all, you didn't do it on purpose.

You should have finished the race.

Don't you agree?

I bet your father does.

How were you, mom?

I'm going to start over.

Will you watch over me?

Did you hear? Sieun has come to work for Yoon.

She's even brought a horse with her.

She'd better not mess with me this time.

I'll crush her like a bug.

Who's that old guy in your class?

What's his name?

Let's all drink to Sieun's return! Cheers!

Cheers!

Welcome back, Sieun!

Thanks.

How does it feel to race?

I lose all feeling in my legs once I get behind the gates.

I don't care what happens to my legs.

I just want a chance to get behind a horse!

A toast to the class of 23!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Wow, Look at him!

Look at the sheen on this horse! What a great steed.

I'm looking forward to this race.

Thanks!

Let's take this off.

OK OK

He's refusing to let me take it away.

Thunder? You're not allowed to wear this here.

Don't worry. Sieun isn't going anywhere.

There you go.

Stop staring at him, Sieun,

and go back to your work! Give the horses a bath.

Now!

Yes, sir!

Thunder

Go! Go! Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry!

What the...

No! Why did I bother to put him in this race?

Did you have lunch?

Not yet.

- What's your daughter's name? - Daeun.

Ma Daeun? I remember her.

Do you know Kim Yeongseok?

He's been getting on my nerves lately.

I fired him today.

I couldn't stand him.

I see...

What do you say? Want to come work for me?

The horses are lining up into the starting gates.

Koh Minja and Queen enter the starting barrier.

Kim Sieun's Thunder enters the barrier.

This feels great.

Can't wait to race?

You bet. Especially since I'm with Thunder!

Watch out if you don't want to lose!

I always lose anyway.

Thunder? Come on! Let's go!

Is that a Korean-bred horse? He's got stubby legs.

Great race, Sieun.

I told you girls can't race worth a damn.

Why'd you come back anyway?

Where did this come from?

Sheriff? What a laugh.

Want a piece of advice?

Be careful of Yoon.

He's the reason why Kyeongil died.

Let me give you a piece of advice, too.

Be careful of people who use you.

You could be betrayed.

Thanks for the tip.

Cheonbok? You're racing tomorrow?

It's just for tomorrow.

I couldn't sleep, so I came out here.

I bet Daeun's pleased.

My whole family is. It's like I won the lottery.

Let's go out for drinks after the race.

Call all our classmates. Beer's on me!

- Really? - You bet.

- Really? - Of course!

- I'm done for the day. - Good job.

No problem.

Sir? About Thunder...

His nose was bleeding today.

He was bleeding?

Don't freak out.

It was just a few drops.

You should worry about yourself. You're working too hard.

You need your rest. Are you sleeping here tonight?

I don't like going home to an empty house.

All right. Make sure to keep a window open.

Don't suffocate to death.

Goodnight!

Is that you, Thunder? Upset over today's race?

Don't worry. It's only the first day.

It's the 4th race of the 1,400-meter distance.

What a great picture. Who's the photographer?

I'll give it back to you once I win.

- Thank you, Sieun. - What did you say?

What's there to think about?

Your kid's name is Daeun, right?

I took out an education insurance under your kid's name.

The kids should be educated not like us.

Take it.

Don't rush yourself, Cheonbok.

Just relax, and put some speed into it at the last bend!

What you waiting for?

Go after her!

You idiot!

Changseob! Don't be close to me!

What are you doing?

Cheol! I need room!

Changseob!

I'm going to fall! I need space!

Dad? How come you don't have one of those?

- You mean this? This is your dad's. - Welcome back.

Did you know he's our class president?

You're racing tomorrow?

- Really? - You bet!

Cheonbok! No!

Cheonbok!

Hey, Sieun!

Get out!

- What the hell is she? - Hey, Get her out of here!

- Hey, stop her! - Where are you going?

What the hell!

Are you happy now?

You happy?

You're a sorry excuse for a human being.

No... no...

No... No...

How can people do this?

How can they do this?

I'm going to make everyone pay...

I'm going to make them pay!

I'm gonna make lots of money. And I'm gonna be famous!

You understand me? Do you?

You understand me?

Thunder is in eighth place.

She wields the whip, but to no avail.

Thunder comes in tenth place.

It doesn't look good for Kim Sieun.

And Castle comes in first!

Kim Sieun comes in last place.

Only 100 meters left.

Kim Sieun uses the whip!

But it's no use. She comes in last.

Kim Sieun! She can't seem to shake off her losing streak.

It's another painful loss!

Racing distance is 1200m, the seventh racing has departured.

Thunder has a late start.

Numbers 3, 7, and 2 are neck and neck!

The others are speeding up!

It's the final stretch!

The whip seems to be no use for Kim Sieun!

The race is down to the finish!

Rest of distance is about 30m.

Thunder is having trouble edging up to the others!

And the race is over! Number 3 wins the race!

Look at this... His flesh is torn.

What's gotten into Sieun?

Why is she doing this?

Why did you do it?

Tell me why did you do it!

Why did you take me off the race?

Don't you see what you're doing?

Don't worry. I'll get to the Grand Prix somehow!

The Grand Prix? Who cares about the Grand Prix?

What about your horse?

Remember what you said to me when we first met?

You said it's the connection with the horse that matters!

I was wrong about you.

He's hilarious!

Look at that!

Hey? What's wrong?

Did Cheol piss you off again?

Don't pay attention to him.

Let's see... His lungs are slightly caved in.

Does he wheeze or cough?

No, but he's got a runny nose.

Maybe he's got a cold.

Does that explain the nosebleed?

It could. Or it could be a sign of exhaustion.

Or maybe he's got a crushed blood vessel.

We can run some tests if you want.

I'll send some cold medicine to you later.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, Thunder.

You like that?

You eat well...

OK, let's go.

For the first time, Thunder makes it within the top three!

Run, run!

- Thunder came in first - Thunder came in first

Thunder, Thunder!

OK!

Shit!

Thunder, a fantastic Korean-bred horse

Thunder Vs. Kingfresh

You'd better win this time.

Don't worry about it.

Kingfresh scored 20 wins in the U.S. You'd better win.

Did you get the lineup of the new jockeys?

Yes.

I talked to the guy who graduated first in his class.

Kids nowadays don't have enough balls.

This one's a good one. He knows what it takes to win.

Everyone says Thunder is a monster.

All we need to do now is beat Kingfresh.

Isn't that right?

- Sieun? - Yeah?

Never mind. You should go rest.

Are you at it again? What is it this time?

Pour me one, too.

- It's bad. Isn't it? - He needs surgery.

Excuse me? More pickles over here!

- Will he live? - We'll have to see.

Where are the pickles?

He'll be able to race again once he receives surgery.

Are you kidding? His lungs are shot.

It's a miracle he came this far.

But...

a miracle could happen again.

He might be able to race.

Since when did you care about winning?

The horse will live.

Are you nervous, Thunder? I am.

What if we lose? What if we lose to Cheol?

I don't care about winning. I just want to beat Cheol.

Come here, watch out, watch out.

Hey, stop, stop. OK.

- Sir? - Hey, Sieun.

I came here to ask about...

You made the right decision.

He needs surgery to live.

I know it must have been a hard decision to make.

Surgery?

None of these compares to Thunder!

Are you pleased to be here?

He didn't sleep for days. He's so excited for Sieun.

Sir? They need you upstairs.

Sieun will be here soon. We can go for drinks later.

- I have something to tell you. - Sure.

- Sieun? Your dad is... - Why didn't you tell me?

Sieun...

You want me to enter the race?

Regardless of what it may do to Thunder?

- That's not what I want. - Then what do you want?

Thunder needs surgery. And he's going to get it.

You should go to the stables if you're worried.

I'll take your morning shift.

Hello?

Look at this!

You didn't tie him up properly.

- No wonder he ran away! - It's not my fault.

He knew he was about to go into surgery!

That's ridiculous!

What happened?

Yoon is out looking for him. Don't worry.

- He'll find Thunder. - When did he run away?

He was here a moment ago...

Sieun! Wait!

Thunder!

Thunder!

They found him! They found him!

He's at the racetrack!

He won't let anyone get near him.

He must be waiting for you.

What's going on?

There was once a jockey who worked with me.

We were very close. He was a hardworking kid.

One day, he got very sick. And he didn't get better.

They said he needed surgery.

The kid came to me and begged me to let him race one last time.

That was his final wish.

Those were his last words.

Some jockeys and horses are born for the track.

I couldn't stop him from doing the one thing he loves.

So... I let him race.

Here are the horses entered into this year's Grand Prix!

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

Well, well, well!

Your horse split the bets. All the better for me.

Sieun!

When I first met you...

You were just a little girl

with flowers in your hair...

You smiled at me... And you said...

I want to fly into the skies...

I love you... Thunder...

You'll get your wish. It's what you want.

It's over, Thunder.

You don't have to get up anymore.

You don't have to get up.

Help!

Somebody? Please?

Please...

Help...

Help...

Help... Somebody...

Please...

Hurry... Hurry...

It's too late to change it.

I picked your name already.

Done.

Think of the bright side.

What if there had been a hailstorm on your birthday?

You'd be named Hail instead.

Thunder's not so bad, is it?

Look over there, Thunder.

When I first met you...

You were just a little girl

with flowers in your hair...

You smiled at me... And you said...

I want to fly into the skies...

When I met you again,

You look thin and

there is beads of sweat on your forehead.

And you said me with smile.

I'm crying even if that is not really sad.

When I saw you the last,

you look peaceful and

see over the window.

You said me with smile,

want to wake up in middle of the night.
