Original subtitles

Grandma.

Yes?

This is my grandchild. He's good-looking, right?

Wait...

This boy...

Yes.

Tae-hee's younger brother.

Our youngest.

Grandma!

I have a younger brother.

My younger brother...

He died...

He died

because of me...

I'll get going first.

Dong-joo!

Oh my... She must have remembered something urgent.

-Huh? -What kind of fate...

...was such a beautiful young lady born with to be in such a rough occupation?

Well, I guess no one can go against their fate.

A DIME A JOB

-Try it. -I used a date I'd never forget.

It's the anniversary of my brother's death.

When is it?

It's the ninth.

TAE-HEE

I left the ring in front of Bongsu Market.

I have to bring it to my brother!

If you were there at that time...

If you were by my side. Only if...

I understand now.

I'm so sorry...

for taking this long to realize.

I'm so sorry.

TAE-HEE

The call has been forwarded to the voicemail...

Let's meet up later.

I have something to tell you.

A DIME A JOB

Is that you, Mom?

The TV show ended earlier.

It's Hae-an.

Oh, it was you, Hae-an.

-Is your mother visiting? -Yeah.

Where is she? I better give her a deep bow.

Who knows. I don't recommend it either way.

You might end up bleeding out of your ears.

-Oh, you can put that back over there. -Okay. Thank you.

No prob.

Whoa, what are these?

Hey!

-What is it? -It's nothing.

I saw it all already.

Wasn't that a lab coat Tae-hee was wearing? Hmm?

A doctor, or something like that?

Yeah.

Oh man, for real?

Then why's he wasting his life away here?

Hey! You calling A Dime A Job a waste of a life?

You little punk, tell me how you really feel!

That's not what I meant.

By the way, I saw that

there was also a kid.

Who's that? Is he from the hospital?

Just pretend you didn't notice.

Well,

he can't be something, like, a secret child, right?

Oh man, why are you staying silent? Was I right?

You.

Don't say anything in front of Tae-hee.

What would I say?

You haven't told me anything not to say yet!

Little brother.

Huh?

That's Tae-hee's little brother.

L... Little brother...

He... had a brother that young?

Yeah.

But...

he left this world.

-Hey. -Yes.

So you better not act like you know anything about this, all right?

Don't tell Tae-hee anything!

Okay.

Why did you have to bring these pictures out?!

Do you know how worried I was about you all day?

I wondered, "Did something happen, is she getting sick," you know?

-Uh, if my grandma-- -Tae-hee.

I saw the picture on your grandmother's phone.

Your little brother.

I...

met your little brother.

I'm so sorry. I...

I was so scared, I ran away from him.

I'm...

I'm so sorry.

While working this job

I met a child exactly once.

-You've even met a child? -Yeah.

He was considerate.

A child who worried about others

more than himself.

The child I met that one time

was Joon-ho.

I'm so sorry.

I left Joon-ho alone and ran away.

I'm... I'm so sorry.

Joon-ho...

How was he?

He would have been so scared.

He would have been in so much pain.

What did Joon-ho say?

I should have delivered this back then.

Joon-ho

asked me to deliver this to you.

Please help me...

I'm sorry.

I was too late with the delivery.

And...

also for leaving Joon-ho alone in the room.

I'm sorry.

No.

Don't say such a thing.

You don't have to be sorry.

A DIME A JOB

Why don't you stay a few more nights?

I would rather leave than continue looking at you.

You don't want to see Noona?

Your sister is in such mourning,

I don't want to see her like that.

All right. Let me give you a ride home then.

No, thanks! Not in a car like that. I'd rather take a taxi.

We insist.

You do?

I can't refuse my little puppy's insistence.

I will, then. Make sure you eat well, and take care of yourself.

You need to gain some weight.

Obey your moth--

You don't have to obey your uncle. Don't obey your uncle!

He doesn't to begin with!

Mom, there is no order and discipline in the household because of you!

You little... Come over here.

You cut your ridiculous hair right now. Cut your hair!

Mom, the ancestors said, "Body parts come from parents,"

and "You may cut off my head but not my hair!"

"Body parts" my ass. Come over here!

-I'll kill you and kill myself too! -Ow, ow!

Make this for your sister when she gets here.

Don't eat it all by yourself!

Pssh.

And then she runs away before her daughter gets here.

This kid, picking pictures without me in it.

Everyone always leaves me out.

EPISODE 12 TO CONFRONT YOU

-Oh. -Hello.

-Are you getting off work now? -Yes.

-Mom! -I told you not to come here.

-Didn't I tell you to stay home? -But I'm hungry.

-There's nothing to eat at home. -Shush.

Go home and eat this.

-When will you be home? -I'll be late today.

Go home now. Be safe. Get home quickly!

Baek Dong-joo.

By the way, why did Grandma leave early?

Day after tomorrow is the death anniversary.

Grandma really adored my brother.

She must not be ready yet.

Same with seeing my mother.

Oh, then your parents are...

They are coming tomorrow.

Where are they coming from?

-Goheung. -I see. They moved really far.

I've been to their previous home.

To deliver the ring as quickly as possible.

If it was a police officer rather than me that found the ring,

would you have gotten it on time?

Huh?

Oh, because Joon-ho told me

to ask a police officer if I can't find the ring.

A police officer?

Mm-hmm.

VICTIM'S REPRESENTATIVE STATEMENT

ACCUSED SEO YOUNG-CHUL BONGSU MARKET PEDESTRIAN DEATH CASE

SEO YOUNG-CHUL

Q: RELATION TO THE ACCUSED? A: SEO YOUNG-CHUL'S BROTHER

Q: ACCUSED'S REPRESENTATIVE'S NAME? A: SEO HAE-AN

Hey there.

You come here every time you drink. Send in a complaint to take him.

-I'm in the Civil Complaints Division. -Good for you!

How've you been?

Seo Hae-an, you were top of the class at the police academy?

Huh? That makes no sense.

-Yes. Traffic Incident Investigations. -Yes.

Must be why you looked familiar.

-I go there every year to give a lecture. -I see. I understand.

-This is pretty good. -I see.

Let's go.

-Huh? -Eonju Uni Hospital.

-Yessir. -Not you. Come on!

See ya.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's nothing.

One sec. Excuse me!

You dropped this.

Oh.

Thank you.

Why else would I call?

I'm reporting that I got into the ICU. Where you at?

Oh. I'm on my way home. Hey, the bus is here. I'm hanging up.

The bus? No way, what bus at this hour? I bet you're with your boyfriend.

Are you on a date? What are you doing out this late!

Express buses these days extended its hours to run this late.

-I'm hanging up. -Stop saying that. Put him on the phone!

I'm hanging up for real. Yeah, I'll talk to you later!

It's fine.

-Oh, the bus is here. Let's go. -Oh, okay.

Oh, the friend from the call...

She was visiting home that one time. Remember?

-Oh. -Her name is So-ra. She's a nurse.

She transferred to my hospital. She says she got into the ICU.

She tells me everything like that all the time.

Sleep well.

Good night.

Tae-hee.

Is something the matter?

Sleep well.

Good night.

Okay, okay.

Because Joon-ho told me

to ask a police officer if I can't find the ring.

EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FUNERAL HOME

-Oh, Dong-joo. -Yes?

-Have a good lunch. -You too!

I told you not to come here. Didn't I tell you to stay home?

But I'm hungry. There's nothing to eat at home.

Oh...

-You're here to see your mom. -Who are you?

Oh, I'm...

I work with your mom.

FUNERAL DIRECTOR BAEK DONG-JOO

Oh.

Then please buy me some tteokbokki.

Tteokbokki?

STELLA TTEOKBOKKI

-Why aren't you eating? -Hmm? I am eating.

Here.

Try dipping this in here.

-Wow, this is good. The cheese is so rich. -Right?

Why tteokbokki though? Don't you have it often with your friends?

I don't even get an allowance.

It's okay. I don't have time to, anyways. I have to practice dancing.

-Dance? -I'm gonna become a K-pop star.

Welcome to A Dime A Job!

-You made it! Must have been a long trip. -Nah, it was fine.

How've you been, my dear son?

Give me a hug, it's been a while.

What a tear-jerking mother-son reunion.

Hyang-bok, is this your office?

Yes. Office is here, and residence is in the back.

Hey, what's wrong with your hair this time?

What do you have against my hair? You jealous?

-Let's head in. -Sure.

-That little... -Let's go, Mom.

Okay.

Wow, so this is what this tastes like.

What should we do? I better head inside soon.

Thank you for the meal. Can you keep this a secret from my mom?

You got it. Don't worry about it.

-Oh, Eonni. -Yes?

What's your phone model?

-My phone? -Yeah.

Hello. I'm Yoon Seol-a from Bongcheong Elementary, third year, third class.

One second.

Hmm. Should we tuck your hair behind your ears?

Nah, it was better before. Let's try it again.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello. I'm Yoon Seol-a from Bongcheong Elementary, third year, third class.

Yoon Seol-a, why do you want to be a singer?

Um...

EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

How dare you meet up with this filthy undertaker when your baby is sick!

I'll take care of the baby.

Thank you, I'll only take a moment.

By the way, how do you dance so well? Where'd you learn?

K-pop star fancams.

My classmates only get to watch if they get a good grade on the English test,

but my mom only knows about money.

Money, money, money. And still complains about not having any.

Is this your phone number?

Yeah. Call me if you need to take videos of anything else.

I'll think about it.

We're here. I live right there.

Go ahead inside.

-Hey, Eonni. -Yeah.

-I'm good at singing too. -Whoa, really?

I have to take a video of the singing as well.

Can you help me with that too?

Oh... But what can I do? I have to head back to work now.

Um... Would it be okay to meet up again next week to do that?

I'd like that! I'll practice until then.

Thank you, Eonni.

Take care.

...because Joon-ho told me

to ask a police officer if I can't find the ring.

What's up?

Do you know of anyone that was at Joon-ho's accident at the time?

-Who? -Maybe like a police officer.

Hmm... There must have been.

A first responder.

Right, first responder...

Why do you ask?

Just curious about the incident.

-Anything else from the investigation? -Well...

You must know it was dark and there were no passersby,

so they weren't transported to the hospital right away.

You must also know that a man living nearby reported it.

Also the driver was caught at the scene, so there's nothing else to investigate.

Is something wrong?

Oh, no.

My goodness, how much longer do I have to look after this idiot...

MAKE THIS FOR YOUR SISTER WHEN SHE GETS HERE.

Mom...

Wow.

Starting with handmade mandu.

Mother prepared everything.

Everything you like. Right?

You saw I didn't touch a single dumpling.

So please tell our mom that, Sis.

-Now then, shall we dig in? -Yes.

Thank you for the meal.

You should have this.

What is this, conveyor belt sushi?! Just serve yourselves!

Uncle.

Thank you, my nephew.

-Mmm. The ribs are amazing. -Are they?

I...

I-- I think I got top grade in the class.

-First place in the police academy! -Oh man! You did?

Those at the top are promised assignment to the department of their choice.

Oh man, we're done struggling, Brother. Good job!

I thought, for once in my life,

something called "happiness" was coming.

I, uh, can't let today go by.

-Hey, let's drink. -I wish you would stop drinking.

And just get married.

What do I own that I would find love and get married?

I'm a mess with a rap sheet instead of a high school diploma.

I have an alcoholic father who kicked the bucket in prison,

and a mom that was on the news when she passed.

I'm done for,

so just worry about yourself.

Man, how are you our father's son?

Was there a mistake somewhere?

I think I'm also done for.

Are your parents here?

I bet they were very happy to see you for the first time in a while.

It must have been two years.

A parent who has lost their child

is alive, but not alive at all.

Their insides are empty, about to crumble away.

Even if they are alive, they are dead.

I...

I must have done that to my parents too.

But even then, just because I'm their child,

they are so sorry that I am hurt,

even though they're dead themselves.

Compared to that,

I'm really going through nothing.

I felt so terrible about that,

I couldn't endure it.

You said sorry that you ran away, right?

I couldn't even keep him company on his way.

Neither could I keep my parents company.

DECEASED KIM JOON-HO NIM

It's me that ran away.

Do you know

what one hears the most at a funeral?

"If you're alive, you should live."

I thought that was such a cruel thing to say.

But

the deceased tell me the same thing.

To keep those left behind alive.

To make it less painful for them.

So...

please live.

You should live too, Tae-hee.

Stay alive

and remember him.

People say that if someone is remembered,

they are not completely gone, even if they pass.

Please give this to Joon-ho.

Make sure to tell him tomorrow

that there are many people who remember him.

How come you're out in the cold?

I'm so full, I had to digest a bit.

It's great eating Mom's food for the first time in so long.

I asked you to visit us so many times. Why did you not come once?

I'm sorry.

Mom.

Hmm?

What's the occasion? Holding your mom's hand like that.

Was my food that good?

Let's go together tomorrow.

Yeah, let's.

Joon-ho would be so excited tomorrow.

To see Mom, Dad, and Brother all together.

DECEASED KIM JOON-HO

Joon-ho, your mom's here.

-GOOD NIGHT! -YES, HAVE SWEET DREAMS.

It went well. I'm back now. Thought you might be worried.

It'll be a long trip driving all the way down there again.

Let's get going before rush hour.

-Yes, we should. -Oh, the bag.

Take care of yourself.

Goodness.

Don't worry about me. Okay?

Come on, families aren't supposed to be like this.

-Stop it, stop. Stop, I say. -Let's go.

-Drive safe. -Go ahead. Get going, go, go.

Oh, Hae-an! Come over here.

Come over, come over!

He lives on our second floor.

Say hi. This is my older sister and brother-in-law.

Therefore, Kim Tae-hee's parents.

-Hello. -Yes, nice to meet you.

-Oh, right! His hometown is Yeosu too. -I see.

That's an hour away from where we live. Where in Yeosu?

-G-- Gwangmu District. -Oh.

-Heading to work? -Yes.

I really gotta get to work now. I'll make sure to properly meet you next time.

-I'll be going now. -Work hard!

-Will do! -All right.

Go home now, shoo.

Go ahead now. Go, go.

Tae-hee!

-Hey. -What brings you all the way here?

I wanted to give you this.

You should, uh, dress warmer.

You'll catch a cold like that.

What's with the silence?

Are you blown away?

I've never in my life received anything like this.

Thank you, Tae-hee.

Hae-an.

Yeah?

I like Dong-joo.

We're dating.

Oh... It must have been you that Dong-joo ssi likes.

Letting days go by without telling you

felt like a mistake to me. That's why I'm telling you.

I bet you feel betrayed.

You may hate me.

Seo Hae-an. Come here for a sec.

Oh, go ahead.

Tae-hee.

You don't have to be so sorry about it.

I...

I really like you.

I'm always on your side.

Thank you so much for this. I'll wear it with care.

No problem. Go on inside.

Okay.

I'll be going then.

Oh?

You're the Eonju Uni Hospital Emergency Room doctor, right?

I'm Seol Hyun-yong, from investigations.

Oh... Hello.

You know, back when I used to get dispatched to ER every other day,

all the other doctors gave me the cold shoulder,

but you alone were friendly to me.

I remember you.

I heard the news.

That you left the hospital after the incident.

I was assigned your brother's case.

What?

There was no time to say hi.

Your father came for statements.

I actually did see you at the ER that day.

You were probably not yourself.

-Did you by chance go to the site too? -The site?

The first responder was dispatched from the police box. Why?

I'm wondering if there were any words from them.

When he got there, they were on their way to the ER already despite the late report.

The bastard's still in the hospital, right?

-Yes. -Man, he better not die like that.

Drunk drivers need to be severely punished.

If he dies...

will the case close?

Yeah.

If he dies, it all ends.

When he got there, they were on their way to the ER already despite the late report.

Yes, Eonju University Hospital Funeral Home.

-Excuse me. -Yes.

Is it... possible to do the coffining at night?

I mean, it's just I think it'd be better to get it over with sooner than later.

I see. Well, I will take a look at our schedule and let you know.

And, uh,

if you could... hide the marks.

Of course. We will keep our eye on them.

Dong-joo, I will take this one with Team Leader Seo.

-Okay. -All right.

Team Leader Im.

Please let me do it.

Eonni, I'm not dreaming, am I?

This is the waiting room?

Am I going to dance now?

Are you going to do my makeup?

Wow... These clothes are so pretty too.

See? I told you I should only eat a little bit of the tteokbokki.

I probably gained weight.

Not at all. You're fine.

Is this really not a dream?

What if it is?

I fell asleep watching the video you took of me.

I'm afraid that this will be a dream.

Because this place is so amazing.

I don't want to go home.

ROOM 5 DECEASED YOON SEOL-A / PARK HYE-JIN NIM

CHIEF MOURNER UNCLE: PARK YOO-YEOL

A mother-daughter double suicide, right?

Murder-suicide.

I believe she should be punished even after death.

A female "A" in her forties has murdered her pre-teen daughter

and committed suicide.

Her suicide note found on site was revealed to have contained

her financial struggles and that she couldn't leave her daughter behind.

Such is the most extreme case of child abuse, and...

I'm... dead, you say?

-Seol-a... -You're lying, right?

There's no way my mom would do that to me. Why would she?

I don't want to die.

I want to live. Please let me live.

You promised to take a video of me singing.

I'm sorry, Seol-a.

I don't want to die.

I want to try dyeing my hair,

fly on an airplane,

have a boyfriend...

Uh, drink boba tea one more time.

I have so many things I want to do.

I don't care if I'm poor. I don't care if I'm hungry.

Please save me.

Please, save me and my mom...

Huh?

I just can't believe it.

How could she do that? Her own daughter...

I was gonna make her pay when she woke up. I was...

-...gonna slap her or something, but-- -Is that enough for you?

But she didn't wake up.

It wasn't like the last time where someone suddenly came in or I left the room,

but she didn't wake up. Why, I wonder?

Hmm...

Maybe she didn't deserve the gift.

You once said one of the deceased told you

that having met you, Stella, is a miracle.

But that mother committed two serious crimes.

She took her daughter's life, and ended her own.

Just because she is her mother, under any circumstance,

taking one's life is a huge sin, and to live one's life is not a choice.

She does not deserve the blessing of meeting Stella.

Is it a blessing?

For Seol-a... Was it a blessing to have met me?

There was nothing I could do for her.

On that day, she asked me to take a video of her singing.

I should have...

It's not like I can revive a dead person. What's the point?

-Who is it a blessing to? -Stella.

I couldn't do anything for Joon-ho.

"Don't be afraid."

"Tell me anything, everything you want to say, then I'll... deliver it all."

That's all I can ever say or do.

I couldn't even do that for him.

You found and delivered the ring in the end.

If I...

listened to even one more word from Joon-ho instead of running away that day,

I would have had

something to tell Tae-hee...

The person I love is in so much pain,

and there's nothing

I can do for him.

How could someone like me...

be a blessing

and a miracle to someone else, Father?

DANCE VIDEO - BONGCHEONG ELEM. 3RD YEAR - 3RD CLASS - YOON SEOL-A

WHO LOVES TO DANCE AND SING, AND LIKES TTEOKBOKKI AND BOBA TEA

UPLOAD VIDEO

Bongsu District parricide case's victim Yoon-yang's video was uploaded

and is currently going viral.

This video was revealed to have been taken a day before Yoon-yang was killed.

Please introduce yourself.

Hello. I'm Yoon Seol-a from Bongcheong Elementary, third year, third class.

Yoon Seol-a, why do you want to be a singer?

Um... I want to be "forever."

"Forever?"

Yes. People say dances last forever.

Um, love, songs, novels, poems? Things like that are said to last forever,

and dance is one of them that I'm confident in.

Why do you want to be "forever," Yoon Seol-a?

-Wow, she sounds just like my daughter. -"Forever" means alive.

And being "forever" will make me rich.

Experts say that killing one's child due to struggles in life comes from

the wrong kind of parental love that think they are

lifting the pain that will be put on their child,

implying that they consider their child as property and not a personal entity...

I have to give Mom a lot of money.

I want to get really rich and live with Mom until we're 100.

I'll remember you... forever.

IT'S SO SAD, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?

Hello.

I'll be there.

Yes.

RESTRICTED AREA ICU

Are you the guardian?

The legal guardian of patient Seo Young-chul?

Oh...

Your visit will be in about ten minutes.

-Okay. -All right.

-What... brings you here? -Do you know who Kim Joon-ho is?

Your brother killed him. My little brother.

He shot lasers from his eyes at the guardian.

They seemed to know each other.

You went to visit that person?

You saw with your own eyes. His family didn't even see each other for two years!

I'm so sorry. It's all my fault.

No matter how many times I think about it

I can never forgive him.
