Yong-mi, is the financial statement ready?

Yes, do you want it now?

Yes, quickly.

2002 FINANCIAL STATEMENT

ENGLISH COURSES OPEN! THE BEST INSTRUCTORS

CLASS REGISTRATION

You can give a positive response without saying "yes".

Let's look at this sentence.

When you are asked if you enjoyed being a writer…

I'm going to be late.

Yes.

You said Su-jeong cried a lot at the dentist.

Giving her chocolate every time she whines…

Okay.

I'm sorry. That came out wrong.

I'm out having dinner right now. I'll call you later.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

Ma'am.

Answer your phone first. It's noisy.

I'm sorry. I didn't know it was ringing.

It stopped ringing.

Why are you hiding in someone else's office?

I was removing gum from the floor.

I didn't have time to remove it during work hours.

And it was bothering me.

I thought you had left.

It's fine. You may leave.

Okay.

Wait.

Yes?

Can you throw this away?

Of course. It's part of my job.

I got it.

TRADING TEAM

Yong-mi. What happened? Did you get caught?

No.

Yong-mi.

Are you okay?

Are you okay or not?

I'm fine.

I'm just a bit shaken up. I'll be out in two minutes.

Well, can you try and come out quickly?

I'm so anxious.

Let's go.

Okay.

Okay, you scaredy-cat.

Gosh.

Yong-mi, did you cry?

No.

You look like you did.

I just teared up because I was puking.

Let's go get some fresh air.

You must have gotten too nervous.

I'm not a patient.

Is that the 3D printing company I told you about?

My company's research team is reviewing the evaluation report.

How do you even focus in your condition?

Yang Ha-eun from the research team is reviewing it right now.

She doesn't think it's very stable.

YANG HA-EUN

A merger?

Are you sure about that information?

In that case, they'll be number one in the industry in no time.

When is the announcement?

In two weeks?

Then it's best to sell all the competitors' stocks.

The prices will plummet once the announcement is made.

I'm here from maintenance. May I come in?

We'll talk later.

Yes.

What's the problem?

Let me see.

Up there.

Okay.

DAEYANG STATION

We're definitely busted, aren't we?

SURRENDER AND REPORT PERIOD FOR FINANCIAL FRAUD

Technically, no.

They only have the wiretap.

For now.

Will he report it to the police?

He can't get the police involved with the sketchy scheme he's running.

He wouldn't risk that.

Everything will be all right. Trust me.

Buses number 262, 6712,

M7731, and 603 will be arriving shortly.

What's going on? Why do they look so serious?

Let's follow them.

Who is she? She looks familiar.

The inspection team manager.

You almost got into a fight with her over stockings.

Wait.

They must be talking about the wiretap.

What if they call the police?

-What are you doing? -I need to hear what they're saying.

No way. Come here!

Are you crazy?

CORPORATE TEAM 2 BUSINESS MANAGER

Is this it?

Who would do such a thing?

Any other places?

Or anything suspicious?

We should report it to the police instead of handling it ourselves--

We can't.

It will affect our company's reputation if the press hears about this.

Let's investigate it first.

I'm taking these.

Why are you taking my hard drives?

-Take them. -Yes, sir.

You've been wiretapped.

Your transactions may have been accessed as well.

Take all the documents as well.

Hand over your phone, please.

My phone…

This is an invasion of privacy.

We're following company regulations.

Did you hear anything?

No.

I hope they don't suspect us.

Hey.

They openly talk about confidential information

around us all the time.

They think we don't know anything.

No one will ever suspect custodians.

Are you buying a coffee truck?

But you don't have any money.

Mind your own business.

COFFEE TRUCKS FOR SALE

Is there a way for me to take out a loan?

You need good credit to do that.

Is there any other way?

Why do you need a loan anyway?

I'm thinking about quitting my job.

So please find a way for me to take out a loan.

Forget it.

Salary is the best thing you can have these days.

Yong-mi, do you have a minute?

What's the matter?

The inspection team wants to have a talk with you.

INSPECTION TEAM MANAGER GEUM JAN-DI

Why did you want to see me?

I won't take too much of your time.

Can you take that mask off?

I have a cold.

Shall I?

Have you seen something like this?

No.

Do you really not know anything?

Have you seen anything similar while cleaning that office?

No, never.

Cleaning may seem like a simple job, but there's a lot to do.

We barely have time to finish cleaning the designated areas.

So we don't have time to notice anything else.

This is important. Please try harder to remember.

Perhaps you threw something away while cleaning in a hurry.

We hardly even touch what's on the desk.

Even a note that seems meaningless may be important to the desk owner.

One of my co-workers doesn't even throw away empty paper cups.

Thank you for your time.

Sure.

Oh, my.

You scared me to death.

Why did she want to talk to you? Does she know anything?

No, she called me because I was in charge of that room.

It feels like my heart will explode every time I breathe.

I don't think I can work here anymore. I should quit.

Nothing has happened yet. Quitting would be unnecessary.

I haven't slept or pooped for days because I'm so anxious.

One night, I had a dream where I was being dragged away in a uniform

with red numbers on it like a death-row inmate.

And the next day,

I had one where I was being buried alive.

Have you found another job?

I'm trying to take out a loan.

Apparently, there are loans for entrepreneurs.

You should look for another job too.

No way. I can't.

It's hard to find jobs that offer insurance.

Plus, diners are the only places that I can work at my age.

CONTENT FROM YOON TAE-GYEONG'S OFFICE

What if I really get caught?

Gosh.

No. White clothes only.

Eo Yong-mi. you need to pull yourself together right now.

Done.

It's been so long.

I know.

Hasn't it been seven or eight years?

The last time was at Si-a's first birthday party.

That's right. Have you been well?

Yes, of course.

What have you been up to?

Well, I work.

Still?

Isn't your husband a public servant?

It's a stable job, so you could focus on your kids.

It is what it is.

Mi-yeon.

Yes?

I have a favor to ask.

I need to quit my job soon.

Could you find a job for me?

You know a lot of people.

Well…

What kind of work do you do now?

I dabble in a lot of different lines of work.

I won't ask for a lot.

If I can get paid 2.5 million won per month and have insurance,

I'm willing to do any kind of work.

SJ BANK

There's no real estate in your name,

and your credit score is…

You fall short of our internal criteria,

so you're not eligible for a loan.

MY LOVE

Hey, Mom.

Why do you sound so weak?

Have you eaten yet?

I have. What about you?

Gyeong-suk told me you have heartburn.

I think it's esophagitis.

It gets better if I drink some cold water.

You're not a doctor.

Stop self-diagnosing and go see a doctor.

Knock, knock. Can I come up?

Yes, of course.

You haven't gone to sleep yet?

I will soon.

I have a favor to ask. Do you have some time tomorrow?

What is it?

Is there any chance you can watch Si-a tomorrow?

Too bad.

I have to discuss my research assignment with my professor tomorrow.

But I'd love to…

But my schedule…

I mean, tomorrow…

So you can't, right?

I'm sorry, Yong-mi.

No worries.

You have to watch Si-a today.

I can't. I have band practice.

There's no after-school care for her today.

Then why don't you ask Dad--

Jin Yeon-a.

You better pick Si-a up as soon as you get out of school.

Yeon-a, get ready.

I'm coming.

HEENARI BAND

I had a dream

There was a square moon in the sky

I went up to the sky And talked to the moon

500 MILLION WON

Hey, Du-yeong.

Yong-mi.

Have you found anyone to pick up Si-a from the study room?

Well, I asked Yeon-a but I can't trust her.

Can I go get her then?

The discussion with my professor ended early.

I'd really appreciate that.

Would it be okay if I bought her a sandwich?

That would be great.

Please send me the address.

Okay. Thanks.

MY DEAR YEON-A

YEON-A

-Are you here for the interview? -Yes.

You can come in.

Have a seat.

RÉSUMÉ

I heard you're working at a company.

But it's not listed on your résumé.

Which company is it?

Vested Investment & Securities.

That's a great company. Why did you leave it out?

What kind of work do you do?

Well…

I clean.

So the last time you've worked in an office was

twenty years ago?

Well…

During my career break, I raised two kids

and gained wisdom and know-how

that I couldn't have gained elsewhere.

Moms are strong, you know.

I catch on quick and I can clean--

I'm sure you can.

But we already have a cleaner.

Right. Of course.

Any certifications?

I learned how to use Office programs at the community center a while back.

For free? Twenty years ago?

I have a commercial driver's license.

Good for you. You can drive buses.

Do you speak any English?

Not really.

That's enough for the interview.

Thank you.

I hope to see you again.

Si-a.

You're the uncle from the attic.

Where's Yeon-a?

Well…

Today, I'm picking you up.

Should I get you a sandwich?

If you want to.

Si-a.

Who are you?

What?

I'm…

Wait. Who are you?

Sorry, Du-yeong. I'm on my way.

Put him on the phone.

Excuse me, sir.

It's me.

Don't you dare take Si-a away.

I'm on my way, so wait there.

I'm packing some of her things and taking her with me.

Who says you can?

You can do whatever you want, but I can't?

I'm keeping the girls until you kick the guy out of the attic.

Call me when that's done.

Stop, Seong-u.

Open the door!

Open the door!

What are you doing here?

Where's Si-a?

Why would she be here?

Si-a!

Si-a!

Where are you, Si-a?

Si-a!

Si-a!

Where's Si-a?

You should calm down.

Have a cup of tea.

Is herbal tea okay?

Lavender tea has a calming effect--

So he didn't tell you anything?

I said I don't know anything.

You're shameless.

You always have been.

Hey.

How can you be so shameless?

You were like that in the past too.

Even as you trampled over my flowerbed.

And you're not even a little bit sorry?

Person to person, or woman to woman?

I'm sorry.

I was, I am,

-and I always will be. -So why?

Why are you two doing this to me?

You should have kept the kids out of it.

I'll give him a call.

Are you with Si-a?

Did Yong-mi call you?

-She's next to me. -What?

Call the police and kick her out.

I'm the one who should be calling the police.

Do whatever you want.

I'm not giving you the kids, so--

Kick that guy out.

Don't try to persuade me.

She doesn't deserve to be a mom.

Seong-u.

It's not for you or me to decide

whether or not she deserves to be a mom.

The kids decide that.

If the kids say so--

What if they become unhappy?

That's based on your standards too.

Yong-mi isn't such a lousy mother.

You know that.

I know.

-But-- -Even though you two got divorced,

I can't seem to hate her.

Me neither.

I don't hate her either.

Rather,

I feel sorry for her.

But…

She makes me so anxious.

So unpredictable and unstable.

Why do you think I gave up on her?

I wanted to stop walking on thin ice with her.

I didn't want to repeat that over and over.

MESSAGES DAD

Stay with me for a while.

I'll come and get you tomorrow. Have your things packed.

I'll just stay with Mom.

Did you get caught in the rain?

Where's Yeon-a?

She's in her room.

I'll step outside for a moment.

Okay.

How can you sleep after causing such a disaster?

I know you're awake. Get up.

Did you call your dad?

Why? What's the problem?

Your dad took Si-a. Did you know that?

What's wrong with that? He's her dad.

Plus, isn't this better for you?

What is?

You can't even afford to raise us.

Do I starve you?

Who cares about food?

Stop worrying about my grades

and let me take private lessons like other kids do.

Who doesn't take private lessons these days?

That's not an excuse for your poor grades.

Back in the day, people entered top universities by studying textbooks--

Stop being so unreasonable!

You're too busy to even care about us.

Do you even know what I want to do?

You ever spend time with us because you work all day.

And you always make me watch Si-a.

You're right, you brat.

I never have time to spend with you.

I'm always getting my hands dirty,

but I'm still broke.

So why do you even live with a mom like that?

Why do you live with such a poor mom?

I don't want to either.

You give us food that's almost expired.

You don't even notice that my sneakers are falling apart.

I hate living with a pathetic mom like you!

Then leave! I'm sick and tired of living like this.

Gosh.

I'm so sick of working one job after another every single day.

Puberty?

If you knew how hard I work,

you'd feel too sorry to even talk about puberty.

You get to do as much as everyone else.

What about me?

What do I get to do?

Go if you want to.

It's not like you would listen to me if I tried to stop you.

Fine. Leave.

Go away.

Jin Yeon-a.

Don't you dare go anywhere. Get back here.

Yeon-a.

Jin Yeon-a!

Yeon-a is here.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Why are you so late?

I'm sorry. I overslept.

You didn't wait for too long, right?

You don't look so good.

Neither do you.

Hurry up and get changed.

You don't want the manager to pick on you.

Okay.

-In-gyeong. -Yes?

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

Remember how that 3D printing company is making a big announcement soon?

What about it?

Let's do it one last time.

You don't even know the name of the company.

I just need the evaluation report Yang Ha-eun from the research team has.

Their security is airtight. Not just anyone can get in.

I'll do it.

If I do, will you join me?

I'll do all the dangerous work.

And I'll be the only one who gets caught.

You just need to invest your money,

including the money that your mom gave you.

I don't think we should.

Plus they already found the wiretap. It's just too risky.

Who's in charge of the research team today?

Su-ja.

Are you really going to do it?

-How many times have I told you? -It's different this time.

You're trying to steal documents from the office.

I could do worse things than stealing.

You have lost your mind.

I'm about to lose my kids. There's nothing I can't do.

Could you kill someone?

Will you make excuses after that?

In-gyeong.

You said you work this job because of insurance

and the morning shift, right?

So you can take baking classes in the afternoon?

What about it?

Not everyone works so casually to pursue their dreams like you do.

"Casually"?

You don't seem to understand desperate people like me.

You can't say that.

You're doing this to pay off your gambling debt…

I see.

So that's what you've thought of me all this time.

That's not what I meant.

I was an idiot for opening up about everything like that.

What about you? You can't talk about my dream--

Stop. We just have different standpoints.

Let's just drop it.

Fine. Forget it.

I have no appetite.

I have a bitter taste in my mouth.

Stop complaining.

We don't eat because we want to. We eat to survive.

-That's what I'm saying. -Gosh.

I'm craving some spicy skate.

Imagine this is skate.

It's well-fermented like a skate. You like ripe kimchi.

Gosh. You have a good memory.

Don't you have a memorial service today?

Talk about having a good memory!

I wish I could pass out just for a day.

-Me too. -Gosh.

Do you have no appetite either?

Where's your partner?

Why am I her partner?

What the…

-What's with her? -Who knows?

-What's her problem? -Maybe she's on her period.

It's 13,000 won.

Why is it 1,000 won more expensive than last time?

I took 1,000 won off for you that day.

What? You can't change it back now.

Give it to me for the same price.

You're saltier than this salted shrimp.

If I squeezed you, I would get three mals of salt.

Whatever.

Let's see here.

Balloon flower roots

It's hot!

Jeez.

PEAR

Oh, my goodness.

What's going on?

They're fine.

I know a good skate restaurant.

Do you want to go with me later? It's on me.

Me? You? Tonight?

Let's go to karaoke too.

Really?

So you'll go with me?

Sounds good.

Karaoke is on me.

Let's go.

Do you like skate, In-gyeong?

I love it.

Don't show your leftover feelings

Don't ever look for me again

You'll be in pain because of me

Don't say

That I'm a cruel woman

I chose to break up for your sake

Dig in.

Wow. It looks delicious.

When will the bean sprout japchae be ready?

It's my sister-in-law's favorite.

We could have eaten the memorial service food.

It must be so much work for you.

-No problem. -Join us.

Stop it. She won't die from skipping one meal.

-Come on. -Here you go.

Enjoy, my sister-in-law.

You're always so busy.

Look how slim you are.

I only eat one meal a day.

-Oh, really? -Yes.

-Su-ja, have a seat. -Okay.

Su-ja.

Now that I see your face up close,

I can see that Geun-u definitely takes after his father's side.

Geun-u. You're going to get a master's degree, right?

Yes.

Are you going to study at the same school?

I should. It's not like I can study abroad.

You should go if you want to.

You know our financial situation.

Women in this neighborhood think Seoul National University is the best.

You should do it at the same school.

Geun-u. What's a rich uncle for?

You were upset that you had to give up on the Ivy League.

So get your master's degree in the States.

-Seriously? -Of course.

Honey. Since we don't have any children,

I feel like Geun-u is our son. He's so great.

I hope he'll take care of us when we get older.

Why would my son take care of you?

Geun-u. Your aunt is so weird, isn't she?

Shut your mouth and eat.

How would I eat with my mouth shut?

How do you eat something that hard after getting three dental implants?

One meal a day?

I know you're cheating on your young husband.

Friendships aren't all that complicated.

You just have to talk about it.

-What are you talking about? -My grandmother once said

that no flower is more beautiful

than people.

In the end, all that matters is who you have around you.

I'm saying you should make up with Yong-mi.

There's nothing to make up about.

Wait. Where's my phone?

You can't find it? Hold on.

Call your phone.

Did I leave it at the restaurant?

Hello?

SKATE

Stop talking gibberish and drink up.

-Skate and soju are a perfect match. -Let's drink.

Enjoy.
