Nine: Nine Times Time Travel
December 15th, 2012 Pokhara, Nepal.
Bring your seat backs to an upright position.
We'd like to remind you to turn off all electronic devices until we are inside the terminal.
Passengers requiring any assistance are requested to consult our cabin crew. Thank you.
It must be altitude sickness.
I have the same problem each time I come here.
I feel as though my head is rusted.
Air sickness is pretty bad.
Yeah, I guess.
I feel the same.
Sun Woo! Over here!
Over here!
Hurry up!
I'm parked illegally! Come! Hurry!
The plane was delayed. I had to circle...
Hey!
- Huh? - Let's get married.
Married?
I have no intention of doing it for a long time. Let's do it for just 6 months.
Don't even register for marriage.
We will break up after 6 months. How is it?
Why get married if we're going to break up in 6 months?
For you! You won't even get married because you like me.
Are you going to do it or not? Answer me! There won't be another chance.
See? Answer me!
Pull out!
Do it! Let's do it!
Okay.
Look at that! That's Mt. Machapuchare.
And next to it... What was it?
Our base camp is at the peak over there.
I know that you're only playing poker at the hotel.
That's not my fault. It's the will of the mother nature.
It's so weird how the weather is hell up there. But it's like heaven down here.
I wanted to kill the captain when I had to come here to interview the expedition.
Now I'm thankful. There is no other vacation like this. I wanted to kill the captain when I had to come here to interview the expedition.
Now I'm thankful. There is no other vacation like this.
But why are you here? By any chance do you think...
- I'm here for my personal reasons. - What personal reasons?
There were two reasons. One was to propose to you.
What?
You weren't kidding about the wedding?
Who says I was kidding?
You were kidding when you said yes?
You're going to kid around with me?
I'm just saying... Who proposes without thinking about it?
Who says I didn't think about it? I thought about it on the plane.
You really want to get married? Just for 6 months?
It could be 3 months. We will see how it goes.
What the...
Am I a slave? Am I getting sold?
3 months to 6 months?
Not registering for marriage either?
You call that a marriage?
It's what you proposed to me once. Why are you shocked?
- What? - You wanted it.
[A few months ago.]
At least pretend that you're listening.
Can't you hear me?
So what are you trying to say? You want to start dating me?
6 months! Let's go out for 6 months just to see if it works.
I don't like it.
3 months then.
- 3 months? - Yeah! 3 months is good! It's clean.
I don't like it.
Why did you kiss me then?
Were you playing with me? I hate you.
I kissed you? You kissed me.
You liked it more.
You call yourself a reporter and you lie?
You want to call the witnesses? Who were there?
Gosh.
See?
Mr. Park Sun Woo who gets obsessed with facts.
You want me to tell you the facts about your life.
You may have been popular for your looks.
But you're already getting old.
You have wrinkles in your eyes. Don't you have a mirror at home?
You work late nights because you don't even have a girlfriend.
In other words, you're going to be out of the game soon.
But why are you rejecting me?
Are you out of your mind? What do you think you're doing?
I'm just saying that we should go out. Stop rejecting me.
Cheapo.
You were begging so hard. I wanted to grant you your wish.
I only said that because I was drunk.
I can say anything when I'm drunk.
So you don't like it?
You're saying that you're going to live with me for 6 months because you feel sorry for me.
You call that a proposal?
Who would say yes to that?
So selfish.
I'm a girl too.
What are you looking at? I said you're selfish.
I have my dignity too.
- Never mind then. - See?
I didn't think that it was a good idea in the first place.
Let's go. We're going to get into an accident.
Where are you going?
Hey! Stop acting like a girl!
You can't act like girls like that.
Only girls with beautiful lines can walk like that in front of men.
Who do you think you are?
He's so arrogant.
Mom was right about everything. Being honest will get you in trouble!
Why say that you like him? A girl should never...
I'm driving without a license.
It's your fault if I get caught.
Get in the car first. If you don't like my proposal...
We can negotiate again.
Negotiate?
Look at your choice of words.
That's why you don't have a girlfriend.
"You"? (Using a familiar form of the word, like "honey")
You drop the honorifics? I treat you like a girl for a second and you go out of line.
- "You"? - I'm just...
Get in the car! Or I will leave you.
You can't! It's my car.
Who cares? I'm driving right now.
This is the downtown area? It's smaller than I thought.
Where is the police station?
You're not going to answer me?
Excuse me! Where is the police station?
- Over there. - Okay! Thank you.
That was easy.
Why are we going to the police station?
- Who is he? - Wait for me at the hotel.
- I will call you later. - What is it?
Who is he?
I told you that I'm here for two things.
You think I came all the way here just to see your face?
You have something right?
You're trying to keep the headline for yourself, aren't you?
- What is it? - I said it was personal.
It makes no sense.
What personal matters would he have at a police station in the Himalayas?
Let's go in.
Can you confirm the picture first?
This is the only item that can identify him.
I called you because I thought that person looked very much like you.
Is it you?
Yes, it's mine.
So it's your brother's belongings.
This is the police report 6 months ago.
We know the officer who made the report. It's not in Korean. I will explain it to you.
I told you briefly that we found the body at...
It's near the town called Chotnong. It's about an hour drive from here.
We believe that he died January of this year.
He was decayed too much for us to even get his prints.
The body froze and thawed. It had decayed a lot from the moisture from that.
The passport also dissolved. They couldn't check his identity.
But they knew that he was Korean, so they called the embassy.
But they had no record of anyone missing or anyone staying here.
They had to investigate for several months.
If it wasn't for your picture, I would have given up too.
May I take a look at the pictures of the scene?
Show him the pictures of the scene.
He says that it's best that family members don't see it.
His body was decayed. You will be shocked.
It's fine. It's my job.
You're a reporter.
We can show him.
What is this?
It's an incense stick. He had it in his hand when he was found.
Incense stick?
Why did he have an incense stick in his hand?
I don't know.
But it's very common to use it in Nepal.
A lot of tourists buy them.
Are you thinking it's homicide right now?
There was a lot of cash, but it was left there.
The snow condition was terrible this January.
They don't think it's a homicide.
If you want further investigation, I could request it.
But as you can see, it's been a year already.
They already cremated the body.
Also the police system in the outskirts like here is...
I see.
Thank you.
Why didn't you report him missing earlier? It's been a year.
Yeah.
If I didn't need to look for him all of the sudden,
I would have lived not knowing that he was dead.
Come here!
You need to go sign the papers to inherit his belongings.
I see.
- If you need anything else, call me. - Yes, thank you.
Keep pushing it. I can do it.
I can do it as long as I make up my mind.
[A year ago, Seoul.]
Jung Woo!
When did you get here?
I thought you were in New York. I called your office.
They told me that you were back.
It's been a month. I sent you an e-mail.
You didn't get it?
I was at a place where I couldn't read e-mails.
What have you been up to?
Where were you to not be able to check e-mails? Are you really back now?
Did you go see Mother?
Mother is looking for me?
In her heart, yes.
Excuse me.
I was taking her picture, but you got up all of the sudden. I got you instead.
I'm sorry, I didn't know.
I will give this to you since you were in it.
- Thank you. - Yes.
Take a seat.
Could I keep that?
Huh?
Of course!
Do you have what I asked you?
I exchanged it to dollars already.
- Thank you. - What are you trying to do?
I'm just looking for something.
I need money.
What is it?
What are you up to? What are you looking for?
Don't you want to live like back in the days?
I want to live like back then.
You need to come back home, if you want to live like back then.
That's not like back then. Mother is not the same.
Father is no longer there.
That's not it.
That's not what I meant when I said 'like before.'
I meant like how it really was in the past.
Like really... Like when we were really happy.
If only I find it...
It won't take long. Just hang in there.
You will be shocked too. I can't tell you right now because you won't believe me.
But I'm sure about it.
We didn't even order yet. Let's get coffee.
You're good with anything right? Also sleep at home tonight.
Let's go grab a drink.
I will get angry if you run again. I won't ever see you again. I mean it.
I'm sorry, Sun Woo. I will be back soon.
I want to live like in the past.
Like really... Like when we were really happy.
Sun Woo! Sun Woo!
Are you inside? Sun Woo!
What is it?
- Are you alright? - What?
I heard that your brother passed away.
How did you know?
You were the one who taught me to make contacts with the police and hospitals first.
I thought that it was weird so I called a detective that I know.
Looks like you weren't just playing cards in your hotel room.
Are you okay?
How could this happen? I didn't know that you had a brother.
- Hey, Joo Min Young. - Huh?
Why do you think I called you first?
I don't know.
Because I didn't want to cry.
If you were going to make a sad face, why would I have called you?
I don't need someone like that. Not even 1%.
Do you know the only good thing about you?
Always having a happy face. That's why I proposed.
You need to know that.
Let's go eat. You know the best place with traditional food in town right?
You just act like usual. Eat and drink with me.
That's what you should do for someone who lost his brother.
Okay! Let's go eat! I will only talk about pointless stuff.
I like talking about nothing.
And don't bring anyone.
No one knows that you're here.
Wow! I thought you were a big mouth.
I thought that you were really coming to see me. I didn't tell anyone.
This is what I was thinking: 'Yes! I played my moves perfectly.'
'He missed me because he couldn't see me.'
'I made the right move when I didn't call him first.'
Give me 10 minutes.
I will wait for you in the lobby.
Full of superficiality.
Let's start talking about nothing.
You said that you were going to marry me because I left home?
Yes. I thought that I won't be depressed at least.
Then you should spend the rest of your life with me. Why only 6 months?
I will be cheerful until the end.
Because my brain is not normal.
Huh? Why did you say 3 to 6 months?
Aren't 6 months enough?
Who gets married to live together for 6 months?
Also! What do you mean 'marriage'? We didn't even date yet.
How could we just get married?
I'm sorry. I will be busy.
And I won't be?
You want to date then? That's fine with you?
I didn't say that I was fine yet.
Should we date for just 3 months starting now?
Why are insisting on ending it already?
- Sorry. Like I said, I will be busy. - And I won't be?
You think you're the only one busy in the world.
Then you should have made the moves earlier.
I've known you for 5 years already.
You chewed me out for 5 years.
I also regret it.
How could have I been such a fool?
It wasn't me who was a fool. It was you who were so unattractive.
You were neither a boy or a girl when I first saw you.
Oh my god!
Hey! What the heck! What are you doing here Park Sun Woo?
Wow! What a coincidence!
- What are you doing here? - I'm on vacation.
Vacation? Why would you come here?
- It's a girl! - A girl?
You came here with a girl?
You just got caught.
Isn't this Joo Min Young's?
This phone! It is Joo Min Young's.
Her name.
Were you here with Joo Min Young?
Are you two going out? Is that why you're here?
I was wondering where you had been.
- What the heck? - Since when was it? Huh?
Look at you two!
Hey! Find Joo Min Young! Joo Min Young!
I left my phone and wallet. Can I make a phone call?
- Sure no problem. - Thank you.
Who are you calling?
Your boyfriend?
Your boyfriend asked me to give you this.
Hey! Where are you going?
Hey! Joo Min Young!
Hello?
I ran out and locked the door. How could we get caught like that?
This is what happens when I date someone who left home.
What do you want me to do when you run and leave all the evidence behind?
I know right?
How come I'm always so slow?
I still can't handle emergency situations.
I really wanted to make it fun for you. There were a lot of places I wanted to show you.
This isn't what I had in mind.
Joo Min Young! Open the door!
They are doing that because they are bored.
You want to go somewhere quiet? I will buy you beer.
No, I'm tired. I have to sleep.
Really? Go rest then.
- I have to go home tomorrow morning. - That early?
Finish up the report and come back.
The longer you take, the more days you will lose from the 3 months.
Can you stop talking about the dates? The longer you take, the more days you will lose from the 3 months.
Can you stop talking about the dates?
I won't wait for you.
Good for you.
Good night.
I heard that your brother tried to light this incense before he died.
I don't know why though.
[A few days later.]
Sun Woo! We have the revision.
10 minutes.
The phone call with Chairman Choi Jin Cheol is now a video call.
Footage #1 is now in the back. Footage #7 is deleted.
- Where is the location? - It's a hotel business room where Chairman Choi is staying.
Give me a minute.
We will get it ready. Ready in 1 minute!
She's waiting for news. You know how she only goes to bed after watching her son.
It's mysterious how she never skips it.
She may really recognize you.
Can you make it so that she can't watch the TV tonight?
Sorry? Why not?
There are some intense footages.
I think it's best that she doesn't watch.
I'm counting on you. Please.
Okay, I got it. Okay.
She's going to be disappointed if we don't let her watch.
- What's going on? - Her son doesn't want her to watch it.
Mrs. Park.
It's past your bedtime.
[Zurich, Switzerland]
The questions are as I told you.
The news starts in 7 minutes. The video starts in 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
The entire interview is 5 minutes. Take about a minute to answer each question.
I see.
Isn't he Park Sun Woo?
Yes, it's Anchor Park Sun Woo.
I thought he was abroad as a correspondent.
It's been longer than a year since he got back in Korea.
Park. I will connect you to Mr. Choi. He wants to say hi.
Hi, Reporter Park.
I thought you were abroad.
How have you been?
I'm always busy.
I can't believe that I'm seeing you like this.
Congratulations.
It's nothing yet. I will see you when I get back in Korea.
I haven't seen you for a long time.
How is Jung Woo doing?
Is he still lost?
He should think about his mother and grow up.
One minute left.
Cutting off the connection.
It was cut off?
Yes. How do you know Park?
He's my friend's son.
I couldn't see him after he passed away.
It's the last scene.
Anchor! Why do you have your head down?
- Anchor! - Hello.
The heat of the presidential election has not cooled yet.
The completion of Genofree stem cell research is making news around the world.
The experts believe that it will fundamentally change medicine in the world.
All of the companies involved saw their stock values increase.
Now to Reporter Yoo.
A stem cell is different from a normal cell in that it can split into different specialized cells.
Ending in 10 seconds. Video call stand by.
Anchor!
We will now connect to Chairman Choi Jin Cheol in Zurich for an interview.
Hello.
Congratulations. You've done great work.
Thank you.
I think the congratulations should go to the research teams
who have worked night after night.
You're a humble man.
But we have heard that you personally lead the research team for years.
How do you feel when your efforts and investment finally bear fruit?
I'm sure that you feel different.
There had been ups and downs.
Due to the international competition, I had lost good men to other research centers.
There were also times I faced financial crisis
due to the lack of profitability in the project.
But thanks to the research team who voluntarily worked for less compensation, we are here today.
The regeneration medicine industry will be the next leading industry in Korea after computer technology.
Experts believe that it's up to you for that to happen.
I want to ask if you're going to continue to lead the research yourself.
No.
I had participated a lot for them to get here.
- The second phase... - That's it. Stand-by.
Anchor.
[Text: I understand. I'd like to congratulate you again.] - I see. Even if you do retire...
There will not be a problem with the competitiveness of the firm?
Yes. You're right.
May I ask you another question then?
What's the next question?
Wasn't that it?
It is.
You said that there was a lot of loss for the achievements today.
Is it true that these events are included in that loss?
For example...
In 2009, you had the 7 female research team members sign for donation of eggs.
What is he doing?
One of the interns became paralyzed from the procedure.
What is this?
- Didn't this also happen? - Wrap it up.
- You received eggs from 65 illegal immigrants in 2010.
;i:3 women from the Philippines were paralyzed due to excessive use of ovulation drugs.
One of them ended up dying.
What is this? What's wrong with the questions?
What?
Also with the excuse of medical volunteer service...
You performed clinical tests on the old people without consent.
You must have known this since you were in charge of all research.
I think the people want to listen to your answer.
Are you ready to answer these unanswered questions?
It's the first time that I'm hearing these.
I will check the matter with the people who were in charge.
I will think about it afterwards.
I'm shocked that you didn't know. We'd like for you to really check on the matters.
I wish you best of luck.
Thank you.
Is he out of his mind?
Thank you for the interview. Good night.
Anchor! Hey how many minutes did we go over?
5 minutes.
Find something else.
Did he lose it or something?
Is he determined to get us all fired?
How can this happen?
You asked sensitive questions without our consent on live TV.
They were even based on rumors.
Excuse me.
They had no idea that this was going to happen.
- The anchor asked the questions on his own. - I'm sure.
Huh?
What a lunatic.
I thought that only his brother lost it.
This is the director. Would you like to talk to him?
Yes, this is Choi Jin Cheol.
You've made it really difficult for me.
Joo Min Young! Aren't you going to call him?
Huh?
We're about to head up to the mountain. You should call him.
I miss you, Sweetie!
I want to, but it's time for his live TV show.
She knows when he's airing even when she's all the way here.
That's love! Love!
It's true love.
Should we date for just 3 months starting now?
Why are you so insistent on ending it?
Sorry, I will be busy.
I'm really regretting it.
How could I have lived like a fool?
Director! There are procedures. I need to take actions after listening to what happened.
There was no reason for him to do that. There are facts.
Then fire me first then! Try firing him!
Lock the door.
We're starting with 6 months' suspension.
If you come anywhere near the studio, I will kill you.
It's 6 months suspension to start with.
Depending on what you say from now on I will decide to fire you or to slap you.
[Resignation.]
What is this?
It's my resignation.
What are you doing?
I have been good to you, and this is how you repay me?
My headache has gotten worse. I had it looked a month ago.
The results came out saying that I will die soon.
- What? - Do you know glioblastoma?
It's Stage IV of malignant brain tumor. You can't live more than 2 years after a successful surgery.
But the location is so bad for me that it's not even operable.
I'm going to die within a year.
I can only talk or walk for 6 months tops.
What are you talking about right now?
You're going to die?
Hey! If this is just an excuse to...
You know what I thought?
'It's good. I'm not going crazy.'
I thought that it was a symptom of schizophrenia.
My mother and my brother both died from schizophrenia.
So I was always worried. I may go crazy one day.
But I'm glad that I'm not going crazy.
Director. Do you know why my mother suffered from schizophrenia?
Do you know why my brother died after going crazy?
Do you know why my father, who was a respected doctor, died in flames?
You would understand my actions then.
Choi Jin Cheol started all of the tragedies in my family.
He had set my father's hospital on fire 20 years ago.
He took the hospital from us.
My mother went crazy and my brother ran away.
He took over the hospital when my father died.
Now not only is he the most important person in medicine in Korea.
He is trying to become the best in the world.
And I had to congratulate him like an idiot.
Isn't the world just unfair?
I'm telling you this, because I know what your actions are going to be.
Please help me so that this doesn't end as an anchor who lost it.
This is everything about Choi that I have researched for the last year.
Everything in there is a fact.
I'm sure that he will have to stay in prison for the rest of his life.
But if this is not just going to get buried, you will need to help me.
No! No! Hang on.
Cut off all the crap and get back to what you said first.
You are really dying?
You're really going to die?
I thought I had enough time for my revenge.
Because I was a lot younger than Choi Jin Cheol.
But I never knew that I would die sooner than that old man.
You're really going to die?
Sir, I really don't have time.
I'm really busy.
Can you stop the car?
- Hello? - I'm on my way to the base camp.
I don't think I can call you if I get to higher altitudes.
What? Is something wrong?
I just can't understand you.
Why is it that you want to see me for only 3 months?
I told you that I'm busy.
I'm serious.
I'm being serious right now for a change. So you be serious with me.
Why are you setting the date?
Huh? I won't go back until you answer the question.
Answer me.
Because I could get attached.
I don't want to get too attached.
I thought people date to get attached.
No, I can't do that.
Why not?
Because it hurts when we break up.

- I saw hallucinations when I lit up the incense. - Incense?
If it wasn't a side effect of the medicine...
What could it be?
- What is he talking about? - Find out the model number for this.
When it first came out and when it ended production.
Where are you?
You really are an asshole.
There won't be another asshole like you.
Who are you? Sang Woo.
Hello?
You paged me?
You can't live no matter what you do?
