Original subtitles

At last, here you are.

No wonder I thought I smelled rotting garbage in here.

Looks like there's a whole lot of human garbage that needs taking out.

John!

Get out of here! This is a trap, John! Get out!

Shut your ass!

You're gonna risk your life for this pretty little thing over here?

You're such an idiot!

Listen, you.

Your despicable trap won't make me give up on my love!

Ah!

Come out, you bastard!

Hyah!

Ah!

No! John Na-ssi!

I'll send you to hell myself, man.

Ma-ri, no, stay back!

Oh no! Ah!

No!

Oh no. Oh shit.

John Na, that hurts!

Fuck!

Ma-ri.

Ma-ri!

Can I have a kiss?

Oh! That's so annoying.

I think it's ridiculous that you're trying to find…

5 YEARS AGO WINTER

…anything rational in a movie that makes no sense.

I don't care.

Why would anyone ask for a kiss right then?

- It's silly! - Hey, it's cold. Get over here.

Hey, no, seriously, what kind of chick asks for a kiss right as she's dying?

Who cares? She's dying? Why can't she have what she wants?

No way.

And even so, it's just silly.

And it makes her look dumb.

Fine, what would you say in your last moment?

- Before I die? - Mm-hmm.

I'll whisper it.

Oh, okay.

- Save me! - Oh, shit!

"Save me"? Are you fucking kidding?

Hey, you!

- Hey, hey, sorry! I said I'm sorry! - Hey!

Cut it out! I'll tell you for real!

Hey! I'll tell you! Really! I will!

- Seriously? - Mm-hmm.

Just before I die… Come here.

…my last words would have to be…

- Shit. - Here!

Over here! Over here!

Sh-Shit…

Over here!

- Here! - My shoe…

Here! Here!

Over here!

Here!

- Over here! - Are you kidding me?

Here!

We're over here!

Here!

Here! Here!

We're here!

Here!

God.

Jae-mi-ssi! Jae-mi-ssi! Jae-mi-ssi!

Jae-mi-ssi!

Jae-mi-ssi!

You can't come in here, sir. Please leave.

She'll be okay, right?

Jae-mi-ssi!

SURGERY IN PROGRESS

Only one of you is allowed in.

Okay. Jae-mi-ssi.

MR. PLANKTON

Get up! Right now!

I… I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry, Eomeoni.

Lying about the pregnancy was my idea. Jae-mi-ssi did nothing.

And I was going to confess to you

just as soon as I returned, Eomeoni.

I swear to you.

Get up.

Stop with this embarrassing nonsense. It's humiliating.

It's…

It's all my fault.

Fine, you can blame yourself for all of this mess, all right?

However, let's make one thing clear.

That little harlot and you

are strangers.

So stop worrying about a total stranger.

Up, already. It's time to go home.

- Let's go. - Absolutely not!

I'm not going anywhere as long as Jae-mi-ssi's here,

do you hear me?

No way.

Hey, get this kid.

Stop!

Get him.

Back off!

Get out of here! Hey!

I swear, if you even lay a finger on me,

I… I'm gonna…

Oh! Uh-huh!

- Shit… - Oh my. You little…

These come off, okay?

And I'll remove my underwear!

- This fool! Are you kidding? - How's that?

Do you want to see your only son and last scion

disgrace the family on camera, Eomeoni?

Oh my… Oh, dear!

Heung, you get those pants up now!

You crazy idiot, I can't believe you would--

God, I just don't…

Excuse me!

This is insane.

Excuse me, what are you doing out here?

Please get down from there.

- Hey, you little… Get down! - No!

- You're such a… - Nuh-uh!

Oh my goodness, you son of a…

My-- Hey…

"Those black rubber shoes…

softly embraced my scarred feet that were covered in soil."

"But I stepped over them, so to speak,

the moment those sparkly shoes won my heart,

and I didn't even feel bad about it."

"Even though the old shoes were filled with my childhood memories

and the many marks that life had left on them…

I sold them without a second thought to Mr. Taffy,

blinded by the sweetness of his rice taffy."

"It took me a while to understand

"And they never complained…

How is there only one shoe?

Would she really walk off with only one on?

I can't believe her foot is smaller than my hand.

Cutie pie.

You switched pairs just like that, huh?

What's that?

Let go already.

Let go, I said. Now--

That hurt!

You asshole! You bit me! What's wrong with you?

God, are you a dog or something? Oh, man!

You've been whimpering like a sick puppy for days,

just holding that shoe there!

Do you have a girls' shoe fetish?

Fine. Hang on, you can have all of mine.

You just wait. I've got tons of stylish and sexy shoes.

You want 'em all? Huh? I'll bring them to you.

What do you like? Something sparkly or what?

Hey! Here! Look, you can take everything. Here.

Ugh! They're all yours now, okay?

Oh, there's more! Oh! I'll give you any color shoe you want.

Here, here, take them all!

They're yours now.

You can lay around and hold shoes all day if you want!

Look at this pathetic shit.

The leader of the Prince Gang,

who was captured by three civilians upon a deserted island near Busan,

continues to insist that he was wrongly arrested,

which is causing public outrage.

I am the victim! This is fucking unfair!

- Fuck! - Enough, you--

Yeah, this is old news.

Why… Why are you showing me this now?

You have in front of you the man who came up with this genius idea

that led to this gang leader's arrest and made significant contributions

to ensure this family's precious heir could walk away unscathed, you know?

It didn't seem like the family was clear on what I did to help.

So I'm here, even if it's a little embarrassing.

So, the one who's responsible for all of that

is you?

Correct. I'll happily break it down for you.

The gang fight at the Busan Port,

I was the one who reported it to the police.

Even after I got caught and that monster nearly beat me to death…

- This is where he's at? - Yes! Yes! This is where!

…I was worried that damn gangster

would hurt Eo Heung when he eventually found him,

and so I told the coast guard exactly where they were headed.

But how did you even know that's where Heung was?

Uh…

Yeah, um, about that…

Ah!

Heung and I actually made a deal a little while back,

so we installed a location-tracking app on our phones

in order to track each other's locations to ensure safe financial transactions.

You'll get your cash.

Okay, so in other words, you want to be rewarded

for saving Heung's life in some manner, yes?

Yes, well, that's correct, uh-huh.

Oh. Got you. Sorry.

That's all handled by Heung's mother.

But, honestly, the entire family is very upset at the moment,

so if you even mention Heung's name right now,

she's really not going to like it.

Wait a second, you said his mother?

Yes, that's right.

You… You mean, you're not his…?

Oh, no. More like a second mother.

I essentially raised Heung too.

Ho-ja is his actual mother.

Two other women who lived here left us at some point

because Ho-ja was unbearable to live with.

So now, it's just me here.

Okay, all right. So you're his second mom then.

Is that right? Second?

Second?

Well, why didn't you tell me sooner? These legs are cramped as heck!

I'm here to talk business with the matriarch, okay?!

God!

If you want to talk to her, you have to have an appointment.

- Look, it's a wild boar! - Huh?

- Heung's eomeoni! - You little punk!

- Ma'am! Heung's eomeoni! - Hey!

If any of you

let that absolute dunderhead set foot in here,

then I will personally kick you out of here!

Is that all clear?

Yes, ma'am.

Shit. Jeez.

Fuck, that old lady's terrifying.

It's not like I can cut a hole in the roof and drop in.

This is insane.

I totally thought he was from, like, a prestigious family.

Turns out, his father had multiple mistresses

and that family is messed up.

And his mother, or grandmother, or whoever she is,

God, that lady's a fucking nightmare.

Seriously, compared to her, I'm not even kidding, you're an angel.

I have to go to work. Make it quick.

Yes, um…

Well, it's just,

um, I heard you were looking for a new manager for the mah-jongg house, and I--

Kkari. I like shiny new things.

I never shop used, employees or otherwise.

I gotta say, I made good money behind Hae-jo's back

when I was working at his agency.

So go work with him again.

I'm not an idiot. I'm not getting tangled in his shit and screwed over again.

You know what that asshole did to me in Busan?

Even though he knew what had happened to my leg,

he ditched me and ran off with his chick anyway.

Plus, I got stabbed because of him, you know?

That shit hurt, man! Damn it.

His chick?

Yeah, I think it's Jo Jae-mi or something similar.

God, man, I really feel bad for her. That dickhead kidnapped her.

I think now she's locked up in the house of that rich old lady.

Man.

Jeez, Hae-jo is such an asshole.

He's ruined several people's lives,

and I bet he's just chillin', taking a nap somewhere right now.

Son of a bitch.

Anyway, noonim, what's this? Are you selling shoes now, too, or what?

Whoa, you got some nice ones here. Someone's making that bank, huh?

Fucking A.

You scared the shit out of me, dude! What are you doing under there? Fuck!

Okay, just look confident.

I did it.

Oh!

Take this herbal pill, okay? It'll combat fatigue and recharge energy.

I'll give you a bunch, here.

All righty.

I'll come back and give you some.

Uh… Whoa!

Jae-mi-ssi…

Hopefully these herbs will help speed up Jae-mi-ssi's recovery.

Oh! John.

Can I just go inside to give her this?

Yeah, Heung, he asked if I'd take it to her.

Thank you.

Such a handsome guy.

So handsome and so cool.

Get in there. Go. Hurry.

Go, go.

Oh, my…

I have some herbal medicine I made for you.

It's a little bitter.

There we go.

I heard Heung didn't go in to the clinic today.

Was he here, by any chance?

We haven't seen him.

My goodness! Where on earth did that fool go?

- Do not let him in! - Yes, ma'am!

This whole thing is insane!

It's her, isn't it? Your ex-girlfriend, the little one.

And that was her shoe?

Hey!

Damn it!

Ah, shit!

Goddamn it!

Bong-suk-ie, you crazy little…

- Where is it, dammit? - He looks like a homeless beggar.

Ugh! I swear I'm gonna kill you.

Ugh! Seriously!

Hey, are you homeless?

Or not. Forget I asked.

Never mind. I guess not.

Come in and wash your face.

Oh, he stinks!

So, obviously, he's a minor, and I don't know who he is,

but call him John Doe.

Have him do odd jobs or run errands so he can earn some pocket money.

Oh, don't let him into any of the rooms.

Yes, ma'am.

So what's the kid's deal?

I found him on the street, I'm gonna raise him.

And he'll either be a son

or a boy toy.

Boy toy, huh?

Oh, good. Hey, kid.

Can you get me some more ice?

Hey, kid, call him a driver to Sangsu-dong.

Yeah, to Sangsu-dong.

Hey, kid, come on. Hurry up and clean the restroom.

Hey, kid, ask the kitchen how much fruit's left.

Hey, kid, wait, wait. I need more ice, please.

- Kid, get him a driver to Siheung. - Kid. First clean up that hall.

Calling from Madam Ju-ri's to Siheung.

Everyone's always saying, "Hey, kid, do this. Hey, kid, do that."

You know?

So what if you go by…

HAE JO ERRAND CENTER

I came up with this kid's name and gave him work, too.

What do I get out of it?

- I swear… - "Bong" means you're a provider.

And you are, Bong Suk-ie.

Yeah, that's good.

Looks cool, huh?

Hae-jo-ya!

Let's go eat something, kid.

Oh, God. This chick is so crazy.

Jeez.

GOOD RESTAURANTS NEARBY

Remember following the smell of fried chicken?

The things I do just to get you to eat.

Hey, you need a shower, all right?

What's the deal with the shoe, huh?

God, why are you so strange, seriously?

Oh, these are so pretty.

Could you please knock off 4,000 won?

Ten thousand won is all I have.

It's just 4,000 less.

She's pretty. A pretty bumpkin.

Why take care of them like that? They're not even new. They're used.

- Just wear them out, then throw them away. - I don't know.

I've always felt so bad for things that get left on the street.

No one cares for them. It makes me want to nurture them.

They sort of remind me of abandoned kids, like me.

I'm sure they were once treasured before they were thrown out.

Funny, isn't it?

Even a really expensive piano

looks really sad when it's left out on the street and abandoned.

I imagine your self-worth shrinks the moment you end up on the streets,

no matter where you come from.

It's because these were thrown out that I cherish them this way.

How beautiful.

Aren't they? They're pretty.

And now look. They're clean!

Yeah!

Excuse me. Please take us to Wanju.

Huh?

No, forget what he said. Don't.

I want you to take us to Wanju.

Why on earth would we go to Wanju?

Where is it?

Gosh, I swear I saw it fall here.

My shoe! I found it! Yay! Ah!

I can't believe it.

I found it.

What? You found it?

Uh-huh, I found it.

What?

What did you find, the Holy Grail?

Eomeoni!

Eomeonim, I'm so sorry.

Well, I know that you've been recovering.

And I don't want to waste my breath on something we can't change.

So I'll make it short.

Okay.

The only reason I brought you into my home

is because Heung stubbornly insisted that we keep you here

until you're fully recovered.

But I think it's time that you leave.

Do you get that? Or are you too slow?

And if you have any decency, you'll leave quietly.

You'll leave today or tomorrow, got it?

Yes.

All right.

Well, all right then.

I'll have a talk with Heung-ssi first.

What more is there to talk about, honestly?

Huh?

I do not want you to confuse him anymore.

I want you gone without a trace, you hear me?

Heung does not need these distractions now.

Why is that difficult to understand, huh?

My God, this is beyond frustrating!

CONSTRUCTION ON 3-LANE ROAD 6 KM AWAY

If she sees you like this, she'll probably kick your ass to the curb.

- Why's that? - Look at yourself, man.

Sir, um, can we stop at the next rest area?

Jae-mi-ssi!

Jae-mi-ssi. Where is she?

Oh, she and your eomeoni talked for a bit a little while ago, but, um,

then she left, sir.

Eomeoni.

Hold on.

Jae-mi-ssi?

Jae-mi-ssi.

Jae-mi-ssi…

Jae…

Jae-mi-ssi!

Jae-mi-ssi.

Oh jeez.

Mm.

This is the Pungyeong Eo clan's mother sauce…

Mm-hmm.

…that has been carefully passed down for generations.

We use this to maintain our 380-year-old tradition and flavors.

The Pungyeong family seed paste is an old--

We make our sauces once a year,

which is the last day of November, based on the lunar calendar.

Our crocks are over a hundred years old, and we use no chemical additives…

Eomeoni.

We add a combination of pristine bedrock water and bamboo salt.

Please refer to the included video for more details.

Sorry, I just need to handle something. If you'll excuse me.

First, you should taste our traditional sauces

'cause they're finger-lickin' good.

That's right. They are. All right…

You know she's not fully recovered. You can't just kick her out like that.

So where did she go?

Tell me, please.

Where is Jae-mi-ssi? Where'd she go?

In the past, your begging only worked because…

I wasn't aware of what was going on.

About us lying…

As I said, it was all my fault.

Premature menopause, Heung!

Earlier when we spoke, she confessed everything to me.

- Why would Jae-mi-ssi… - Exactly.

How dare she hide something like that

to try to marry into this family?

That insolent little…

Oh, dear. You… You idiot.

God, you are such a fool.

Okay, but…

You're lucky it happened on your wedding day.

Yup, our ancestors were there.

I don't care what kind of ruse you're cooking up.

Don't waste your time. Just get over her.

It's so clear that you aren't destined to work.

Why not?

Tell me, why can't I be with her?

Oh, my. Seriously?

I'm in love with her.

Whether she's pregnant or not.

I know I still act like a child.

I know I'm too immature to be a good father,

but how is that Jae-mi-ssi's fault?

Why do you keep saying we can't be together?

Why can't I…

Huh?

Why can't I be with her?

Jae-mi-ssi…

Jae-mi-ssi.

Jeez, what's taking him so long?

- Hmm. - Should I have a look?

No, it's no problem. Enjoy your food.

He hasn't seen his girlfriend for a while,

so he's probably taking a shower right now in the bathroom.

I lost weight. I'm giving dark and sexy.

Hmm. What's up, kid?

I bet you're curious what I'm talking about, huh?

It means I look hot as hell.

He looks hot as hell?

Heung-ssi!

Why would you go for a walk all by yourself?

You don't know your way around.

Are you all right?

I think our house measures about 4,000 pyeong.

But for some strange reason,

I feel like I'm suffocating when I'm in there.

Do you think I should just run away from home?

No.

I'm into guys who own 4,000-pyeong mansions.

- Sure beats runaways. - Wow!

Jae-mi-ssi, you're so materialistic.

That's the thing.

It's what everyone would think

if I actually had been silly enough to try to join this family.

Mm…

So, that said…

I've come to realize this'll never work.

So, I think…

it's best to just end everything right here.

Jae-mi-ssi.

Eo Heung,

you can't forget that you're a tiger,

and you really shouldn't abandon your forest just to protect one tree.

You know?

Mm-hmm.

A tiger? That's not right.

A sad dog. A wimp.

What? Says who?

Who dared to say such a thing to a tiger?

I'm a wimpy, sad puppy dog.

No, you are not. You're a tiger.

- Wimpy dog. - No, a tiger!

- I am a wimp, though. - Come on!

A wimpy wimp.

But you know, eomeonim,

now that we both know I'm leaving, let me get one thing off my chest.

The reason I'm leaving isn't because I can't mother a child,

or because I come from nothing.

We both know the truth is that I'm not good enough for your son.

So, all I ask…

is you treat him better.

What did you say?

Honestly, Eomeonim,

everyone in the family has to deal with whatever you give them

because you had Heung and gave them a male heir.

So then why treat your…

your own son so harshly?

Huh!

He's your only son.

Treasure him.

Show him some respect.

I'm asking since I was almost your daughter.

Please be nicer to him.

Smart-ass.

I cannot fault her for her taste in men, however.

Mm.

You know what?

He could've done a lot worse than her.

All right, listen here, you.

If Heung's to follow in your footsteps,

then he'll forget about the girl.

And eventually, he'll fall for someone else.

However, if he doesn't…

It's all-- It's all your stupid fault.

Whether I do it or you do,

one of us has to die so we never see each other again.

So if you won't just let me go,

and you're also not willing to kill me now,

I don't know about you, but I can't take this,

and I wish you'd just drop dead or something, okay?!

Jae-mi-ssi?

Jae-mi-ssi.

Jae-mi-ssi, wake up!

Jae-mi-ssi!

Bong-suk-a.

Bong-suk-a.

Huh? What?

I want corn.

Huh?

I'm hungry, come on. They sell it right there.

STEAMED CORN ON THE COB

Hmm. He could've eaten at the rest stop.

God, he acts like I'm his secretary.

Mm, it's so sweet. Really delicious.

Ah!

It's me.

Where… Where are you going, huh?

Listen, Hyung, I did some thinking on my way here.

I figured you'd be so angry that,

well, you might want to punch me if you saw my face.

I get it.

I mean, I stabbed you in the back on the island, and I felt bad about that.

But you still came to my rescue.

And I'm so grateful that I'm too ashamed to face you myself.

I went there to rescue my Jae-mi-ssi, not you!

Whoa, careful!

Oh.

Oh wow, you're…

so warm.

Get away.

Body temperature is kind of fascinating.

You'd think everyone would feel the same, like, lukewarm.

But then you touch people and realize everybody feels different.

I noticed the first time I shook your hand.

"My gosh, I'm glad you're here."

Heung.

You greeted me with a big silly grin.

Like you were wearing one of those traditional smiley masks.

When I saw that, I thought,

"I'd better not get tangled up in his shit, or I'll be screwed."

That's rich coming from you.

I'm sure it is.

My shit always fucks everyone around me.

"I don't want this guy to get hurt."

That definitely went through my mind.

You really do…

run hot.

Is that why you're good at taking pulses? Huh?

Hey, quit smoking.

It's bad for your health.

Oh, someone secretly cares.

Go home.

Hey, Hyung.

Are you okay?

With what?

Uh, ahem…

Uh, your eomeoni, how mad did she get?

I mean, were you able to work things out?

I was just wondering if things were good.

Yeah, it's okay.

Jae-mi-ssi's doing much better too.

Oh yeah?

Thank goodness.

That's great.

Hey.

There's something I'd like to ask.

Oh, you're finally interested in me, huh?

Why do you go by "Hae-jo,"

Chae Seung-hyeok?

You have a wonderful name. Why change it?

What? You did a background check?

Hey, that's my thing.

And what's your father do for work?

Um…

You grew up in a wealthy area. Is that still where you live?

Hey…

Do your parents know about your condition?

Hyung!

What is this, huh?

You treat me like a kid that wants to date your daughter.

Just leave me alone.

You're so annoying.

If you don't want to answer, then don't.

Hey, wait a second. Can I ask a favor?

Here.

She lost this on the island, and it meant a lot to her.

Can you return it to her?

This shoe.

You got it for her?

Uh, yeah.

Hey, if you don't want to give it to her, burn it, I don't care.

I'm done carrying it. See you.

Mm, the shoe…

Did you just swear?

Shoes.

The shoes… I want…

Ah. You wanted to wear those shoes.

To go…

To go with you.

I don't think she would have lived if it weren't for this shoe.

We found this in one of her pockets.

Remarkably, the sole of the shoe blocked the blade,

protecting her small intestine.

Her shoe did?

Oh, God. I'm so grateful! Oh my…

Thank you so much! Thank you.

Oh, God. Thank you so much for saving Jae-mi-ssi's life.

Hey.

A FEW DAYS LATER

What is it?

Huh?

- No, this is it. - What is?

Who is it?

Hey, uh…

Oh!

- You son of a… - No, hey. Hang on a sec.

It's not…

Can I ex--?

Oh, shit.

Ow!

Mm!
