12 YEARS PROMISE

Stop right there!

Stop!

Hey, you!

Stop right there!

Stop! Stop right there!

Get her!

Stop right there!

Oh no.

What happened?

What's going on?

Is she hurt badly?

She came out of nowhere.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, wake up. Hey!

Guk. Guk.

Hospital. Hospital.

Get me to a hospital, Jang-woo.

Okay. Let's go.

Help me, will you?

EPISODE 13

Did you get my uniform?

Something happened.

What do you mean?

Why'd she have to get hit by a motorcycle?

Who did? What happened?

I don't know.

I have a lot to deal with. Don't call me for a while.

Bye.

Hey, Eun-sil! Eun-sil!

Help. She's hurt. Please hurry.

This way.

Guk.

Can you hear me?

Please get me a liter of Hexol solution.

Guk, Guk!

Please step aside.

Miss, can you hear me?

Miss, are you pregnant?

Please call obstetrics.

It looks like a miscarriage.

Thank you.

Yu Jeong-han speaking.

What? The hospital?

Who?

Mom.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Your ancestors protected you.

Mom.

Is everything okay?

Your late father watched over you.

I think you'll have to stay the night.

You might be sore here and there.

That's not what I meant.

What's wrong? Is something bothering you?

You can't get up.

You had a concussion. You're not supposed to get up.

What is it, Guk? I'll do it for you.

What is it? Tell me.

You shouldn't get up, Guk.

Guk, you need to lie down. What's the matter with you?

You need to lie down.

You shouldn't get up, Guk.

Stop it, Guk.

You're okay.

It's not your fault.

How can I let my child be in a class with a student like that?

Can we hold you accountable if anything goes wrong?

-Will you? -What will you do about this?

-Tell us your plan. -Please, calm down.

Please accept my apology on behalf of the school. I'm sorry.

I need to know exactly what happened. Please give us some time.

Please calm down, ma'am.

-What are you going to do? -How can this happen?

VICE PRINCIPAL YU JEONG-HAN

Let me help you with that.

That's all right. Don't mind me.

Keep up the good work.

Mom.

Where are you going?

Guk's at the hospital. I can't get a hold of her.

-Go back to your room. -I have to see if she's okay.

They said she was fine. Go back up to your room.

No.

I'm worried sick.

Worried?

Are you blinded by your affection for this girl?

Why are you being like this?

Why? Do you really not know why?

Aren't you worried about your father?

Your father dedicated his life to education.

But he was fired.

Because of you, because of that girl.

It's not Guk's fault. It's my fault!

How can you say that to me?

I have to go.

Do as I say.

Mom.

If you don't let me go, I may resent you for the rest of my life.

I'm not afraid of your resentment.

Go ahead. Resent me.

Please, Mom!

Don't make things any harder!

Please!

-Go back to your room! -Please let me go!

-Go back to your room! -Please let me go!

No. Don't go!

What do you think you're doing?

Don't hit him, Su-han. Please don't.

You come with me! Come with me!

Su-han!

Stop it.

-You too? -Jun-su.

Why won't you let me go?

I need to see how Guk is doing!

I know, Jun-su.

But this will only provoke your mother further.

She's in so much pain because of your father.

Then what am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?

-Jun-su. -I'm about to lose it!

Calm down. Calm down.

I'm suffocating.

Please. Please let me go!

Just stay put.

Please let me go.

Just calm down.

No. No. I have to go.

I have to go and see Guk.

Jun-su. Jun-su!

Just this once. Please let me go.

I beg you. Please let me go.

Are you happy now?

What in the world are you talking about?

Is this what you wanted?

Aren't you the one who wanted something to happen to the baby?

Isn't that what you wanted?

Are you saying this is all our fault?

Jun-su's father took the blame for everything and was fired.

You're just a tenant in our building. How dare you ruin our family?

Your money doesn't make you better than us.

How about now?

Take your daughter and get out of our building.

We never should've let you and your family into our building.

Are you done?

No.

Get out of my sight before I do something worse.

Are you sure you want to end things like this?

It's for my son.

I'd jump into a lake of fire if that's what it took.

Is it true?

Why didn't you tell me?

Jun-su knocked up some girl in his class--

It's not true.

It isn't?

So it's just a false rumor?

Please, Da-hae.

It is true. It's true, right?

I didn't think Jun-su was that kind of boy.

Looks can be so deceiving.

He's Beom-suk's son and was raised by educators.

I thought he would be a good kid...

-Are you enjoying this? -What?

If you're not, then please stop.

Isn't Beom-suk your friend?

I didn't mean anything by it.

I'm not trying to judge anyone.

Come on. I'm just worried about you.

You're okay with it?

Okay with what?

What do you even like about Jun-su anyways?

You said you liked him, too.

That was before I knew what he's really like.

Are you going to keep this up?

Just get over him.

Forget about Jun-su, okay?

Are you going to be like this too?

Jun-su went along with it because of the baby.

It wasn't because he loved Guk.

So why should I stop liking him?

What are you saying?

I know why he went along.

Jun-su's very responsible. He wanted to do what was right.

Do you even hear what you're saying?

They were going to get married.

Mom!

I can't listen to this anymore.

Do you want to leave the room or should I?

Okay, fine.

I'll leave you alone.

-Da-hae. -Mom, that's enough.

Okay. I'll stop.

But you need to think about this rationally.

I'll let you study.

Why did things get so complicated?

If anyone finds out,

I might have to rat on you. Do you understand?

So just keep your mouth shut.

Don't let Yu Jun-su in on anything.

SEARCH: EUN-SIL FOUND THE NAME

DELETING

DELETED

CALL RECORD: EUN-SIL

ALL RECORD DELETED

All I did was ask them to get my uniform back.

I didn't know things would turn out like this.

Mom. Mom.

She went home for a bit.

You should get more sleep, Guk.

What happened to my necklace? The necklace Jun-su got me.

Were you dreaming?

No, Grandma.

Where's the necklace I was wearing?

I'm sure I wore it to school.

But it's gone.

I must have lost it when the motorcycle hit me.

What are you talking about, Guk?

My backpack. Did you get my backpack?

Yeah. It's right there.

What is it?

The necklace. Wasn't there a necklace?

What's the matter with her, Mom?

Guk, please calm down and tell us what's wrong.

Grandma, I bet it's still there.

Yeah. I'm sure it's still there.

What's the matter with you?

Mom, I'm stepping out for a bit.

You're not going anywhere.

I'll be right back.

If you're worried, why don't you come with me?

-Mom, get the nurse. -Okay.

When the nurse comes, ask her to remove this. I have to go somewhere.

Where?

I have to find the necklace.

Necklace? What necklace?

I'm sure I was wearing it.

Didn't the hospital give you anything?

Did they give you my necklace?

No.

I'm losing my mind.

My necklace is missing. I have to find it.

If I don't find it, I'm totally going to lose my mind.

Pull yourself together.

Jun-su got it for me, so I have to find it.

Jun-su will be upset.

He bought me that necklace.

If I tell him I lost the baby and the necklace,

he'll hate me!

It's over!

Don't you get it?

No. It's not over.

I have to tell Jun-su.

I have to tell him it wasn't my fault.

I have to tell him I'm sorry!

-Guk. -Mom.

Mom... Mom, I have to find it.

I have to find it.

-Mom! -Guk.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom...

I have to go.

Mom...

Mom...

Mom...

I have to go. I have to find it.

Entrance exam: 99 days left

Ms. Choi.

You've lost so much weight.

Has Guk been released from the hospital?

Yes. She's at home now.

Does she still not remember what happened?

She says she had never seen them before.

We'll do whatever it takes to find them.

We'll find them and find out why they did such a terrible thing.

What I'm more concerned about is

whether Guk can return to school or not.

It was Jun-su's father's wish to make sure

the kids' futures remain intact

and we'll do our best to honor his wish.

I don't want Guk to suffer emotionally any longer.

Ms. Choi.

Will she be able to continue going to school like nothing happened?

You know what I mean, don't you?

Yes, I do.

So please don't make a hasty decision.

The semester has not begun yet.

Let's just give it some more thought.

When did you get back?

Just now.

Don't, Mom.

Now that I know we have to leave,

I don't want to do anything.

But it's not like we're leaving right away.

We should use up what we have.

By the looks of it, they might force us out tomorrow morning.

So should we do?

I don't even know where to start.

It's so overwhelming.

Don't worry. There's always a way.

I'm going to ask Mr. Heo for help.

I already discussed it with him.

Not in service? Does it mean the number no longer exists?

What's wrong?

Mom, I have to step out for a bit.

J & C CORPORATION

Korea!

Korea!

Korea!

I'm here to see the owner.

Just a moment, ma'am.

Ma'am?

What is it?

There's someone here to see you.

Me?

May I help you?

Wasn't the owner a man?

She's the only owner.

He's well-built and is in his early 40's.

-Who could she be talking about? -I'm not sure.

He was here when I came several days ago.

Several days ago?

Last Saturday.

When on Saturday? In the morning or afternoon?

It was lunchtime.

That's strange.

We had an engagement party that day,

so we weren't taking any walk-in patrons.

-The kitchen's all set, right? -Yes, ma'am.

Wait.

Do you know someone named, Heo Se-min?

I've never heard that name before.

Does this mean he's the president?

Yeah.

His last name is Heo. Heo Se-min...

J & C Corporation?

My family...

has to leave the dumpling shop.

Please help us, Mr. Heo.

I don't know much about business.

I'm going to trust you, and give it a try.

Please help us.

My money.

My money.

My money.

My money!

Mom. Mom.

Yes?

I'm begging you.

Guk has been released from the hospital. She's at home now.

She's not badly hurt.

I want to go and see her.

I don't know if her family will let you do that.

I can wait until they let me.

-Jun-su... -Dad.

I just want to see if she's okay.

Let's give it some time.

How much longer?

Don't you think her family and our family

need some time to recuperate?

Jun-su.

If you stay strong, nothing will change.

So sit tight for now.

Jun-su! Please don't do this!

Please stop, Jun-su. Please!

No, Jun-su!

I'm begging you, Jun-su.

You're scaring me. Please. I'm scared.

I've never seen you like this before.

Jun-su, I'm so scared. I'm so very scared.

Please stop, Jun-su.

I'm so scared that something terrible will happen to you.

Please stop, Jun-su. Please.

Please stop, Jun-su.

Jun-su...

What am I going to do with you?

I'm sorry, Jun-su.

My poor baby.

My poor baby, Jun-su.

Where were you?

I was looking for a new place to set up our shop.

What about dinner?

I'll fix myself something, so don't worry, Mom.

-Mom. -Yes, my son.

Where were you?

Were you worried?

Come here.

Mom, is Guk okay?

Of course. She's fine.

Perfectly fine.

-Why are you doing this? -We need your uniform.

Give me a reason.

Nothing will happen to you if you just take off your uniform.

-We told you to take it off. -Hold still.

What now?

How will we manage?

At least we have this money.

What now? How will we get by?

There's always a way.

I know I'll be able to afford an education for them.

Mom.

Why aren't you sleeping?

About my uniform...

Why are you drinking? Is it because of me?

No.

Is something wrong?

Jun-su's dad was fired.

After what happened to his father,

how do you expect Jun-su to help you?

Are you serious?

Yes. Jun-su's not coming anymore.

He can't.

What's this?

Jun-su's mom gave us back the security deposit

and told us to move out immediately.

And she gave me this for your medical expenses.

Why did you take it?

She told me to take the money and get lost.

Why did you take the money? I don't need this, so give it--

No. I need it, so I can't give it back.

-Don't you have any pride? -No, I don't

What's wrong with you?

That's right. I have nothing to stand for.

That's why I used my daughter to make a little money.

You think that's all? I got conned.

What are you talking about?

Your father's insurance money. I lost it all.

How? What's this about?

It's because I'm ignorant.

What?

Because I wanted a better life for us,

even though I didn't understand a word he was saying,

I gave him all of our money.

I was so ashamed that I was going to kill myself.

But, I couldn't because of Hun.

Guk, do you think you can help me?

Mom.

I know. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I'm your mother.

I'm having a real hard time right now.

This pain, this anger...

If the world doesn't pay me back,

I don't think I can live on.

No. I don't want to live on.

Guk, can't you go live with your aunt?

In the States?

Leave all this behind and become successful.

Get a good education

so that you don't end up being a fool like me.

Don't ever let anyone call you a gold digger.

Be the kind of person that everyone respects.

-Mom. -I don't deserve to be a mom.

I don't think I have it in me to be a mom anymore, Guk.

Guk, my sweet daughter.

Get it together and help your poor mother out.

If you promise me you'll return successful,

I'll promise you too.

I'll do whatever it takes to hang tough

and endure whatever humiliation that may come my way.

I'll try to pull myself together and start new, Guk.

Can you do that?

Huh?

Could you please?

Don't starve yourself, Go-sun.

I'm worried sick.

You're a mother too. How do you think I feel right now?

I don't have an appetite. I don't have any energy either.

You need to eat to have energy.

I don't think I can even swallow any food.

I know it's hard, but please try to eat.

How can I, Mom?

I blew everything we had.

I was crazy to give all of our money to a stranger.

No.

You did it because you wanted a better life for us.

You just wanted to make a good investment.

You did it for your children.

You'll die if you don't believe that.

You'll wither away and die. Please, Go-sun.

Please do it for me, your mother.

Please do it for me.

Mom.

Let's eat, Mom.

You said this to me before.

If I stumble, you'll stumble

and if you stumbled, Hun would too.

You said Hun and I gave you a reason to live.

So don't be like this.

I'm fine. Just pull yourself together.

Guk.

I'll do it. I'll do whatever it takes.

I'll do whatever you ask.

So pull yourself together.

Let's eat.

Will they catch him if we file a police report?

In this day and age? Of course.

What if they don't? What if they never catch him?

Mom.

I'm going to the States.

As you said, I'll come back when I'm successful.

I won't let anyone look down on me again.

And I won't let anyone call me a gold digger.

Do you get what I'm saying?

If you do, please eat.

You have to live for Hun if nothing else.

Thank goodness for your invitation, Jeong-suk.

We're so thankful.

Even though his entrance exams are coming up, I'm taking Jun-su.

I don't know.

We'll talk when I get there.

Your brother was let go.

My husband lost his job. Do you think I can be sweet right now?

I'm surprised that I'm still keeping it together.

Okay.

I don't want to go on a trip, Su-han.

Jun-su, your father just left the school and he's having a hard time.

I know you're going through a lot, but your parents need some time.

They need some time to recuperate.

Let's talk again when you get back.

Okay, Jun-su?

Guk.

Jang Guk.

I'm counting on you, Hun.

Hun.

Is your sister okay?

All right then. Be safe.

Mom.

-Give it to me. -What?

I saw you with Jun-su.

Do you want your sister's life to be ruined?

Then give it to me.

Don't tell your sister a thing.

If Jun-su gives you anything else, give it to me.

Do you understand?

I understand, Mom.

Guk, I'm sorry I couldn't get in touch with you.

You're okay, right?

I didn't want you to get into trouble, so I didn't call you at home.

And I couldn't reach your cell.

I'm going to my aunt's for a bit.

I'll call you when I get back, so please wait.

That will never happen.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Is Jun-su, Yu Jun-su there?

He's not in at the moment.

He went on a trip with his family.

A trip?

With his family?

Bastard.

Bastard.

What a jerk. Idiot.

Guk.

Grandma.

What are you doing here?

I feel like I'm suffocating.

How can he do this to me?

It feels like I'm going to suffocate and die.

That's enough, Guk.

Grandma.

All things we are granted in life

have a specific time and place.

This is especially true for people.

By the looks of the way things are going,

you two weren't meant for each other.

I'm begging you.

Please let go of Jun-su.

Do it for his sake.

Come on. Let's go.

Listen to your grandma.

Jun-su!

Jun-su!

Jun-su!

Jun-su!

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Captain Gwak Min-gyu

of General Airlines flight P480.

We're experiencing some turbulence.

Please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts.

Our plane will be landing at Incheon Airport in about 40 minutes.

It's a clear day. The temperature is seven degrees Celsius.

We'll do our best to arrive safely. Thank you.

You call this food?

If you can tell me what the problem is--

Just for yourself. It's overcooked.

This is business class. I paid you double.

So service should be twice as good. Understand?

I'll get you a new bowl.

Of course you will.

Sir.

We also have dumplings. Would you like me to bring you some?

-Dumplings? -Yes, sir.

What kind of dumplings are these?

-Excuse me? -Dumplings are my least favorite food.

Excuse me?

But these are Dallae dumplings. They're colorful and tasty.

They're very popular with our passengers...

What's in this thing?

Don't you know trash-filled dumplings?

I think you're referring to the dumpling incident of 2004.

Nearly all the companies involved in that case were proven innocent.

Who are you?

Jang Dal-lae.

-What? -Report him.

Disorderly conduct on an airplane

and violations of flight regulations

are reasonable causes for arrest aboard a commercial flight.

Did you know that a fork can be considered a weapon?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, sir.

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll be landing in Incheon shortly.

Please put your seats in the upright position, stow your tables,

and fasten your seat belts.

Aren't you curious to see how much Guk has changed?

Why are you so quiet?

Got it, Grandma.

It's already time for the end of this program.

There's an American saying,

"Study the past if you would define the future."

Understanding the past is the key to shaping your future.

If you have bad memories, don't try to forget them.

Think over them again for the future.

I've picked a song from the Calm and Passion OST.

"The Whole Nine Yards." This will be the last song for today.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Hi, Mom.

Jun-su, where are you?

I'm on my way to the airport.

The airport?

Yeah. Su-han's coming today.

Oh, right.

Do you think this is dementia? I'm so forgetful lately.

Did you need the car?

Yes.

Oh, well. I'll have to take the bus.

Where are you going so early in the morning?

Your father wants to go get some soup.

It's probably for Su-han.

The two are so peculiar.

I better stop talking.

Okay, then. Drive safely.

I will. Okay.

NEW YORK 6:40 A.M.

Hi, everybody!

There she is. There.

-Welcome. -Aunt.

Where's Guk?

-Right there. -Where?

Are you okay?

Are you hurt? I told you stay with me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's okay.

12 YEARS PROMISE

I'm Yu Jun-su of HK Department Store.

You can't be picky if you want to make a living.

I do whatever I have to.

Your daughter changed her name to Dal-lae.

She was scouted by a famous department store in Seoul.

I didn't live like this either.

I was Mrs. Vice Principal.

This is huge for a dumpling restaurant.

Do you have other land or buildings that made it big?

Of course we do.

Good morning.

To overcome the many challenges,

We were lucky enough to have one of them to join us.

Please let me introduce to you, Ms. Jang Dal-lae.

Nice to meet you. My name is Yu Jun-su.

Oh, shit...

12 YEARS PROMISE
