Nine: Nine Times Time Travel
Mister!
It cleared up.
What the heck?
Come here. Hey! Hey!
Are you okay?
Hello? Is anyone out there?
- Hey wake up! - Is he dead?
Someone call the police.
Someone call the police! A person is dead!
Shi Ah.
I told you to come right away. What are you doing here?
- What about the teddy bear? - He died.
What?
He died.
Who did?
You shouldn't see those things.
Hold on! I know him. I even talked to him.
It's time to leave for the plane. What is wrong with you?
You think we're just going to a picnic? We're going to America and not coming back.
Come!
Sun Woo.
Let's go.
Hello? Light Newspaper?
Oh hi.
Me?
I'm at home. Dinner?
Eat up. It's going to burn.
After finishing up the case, you had come to my mind.
That's why I called you out. So I could treat you food.
Thank you.
Your brother's sentence will be light.
He turned himself in, and it wasn't intentional.
Don't hate your brother too much. Hating family will only hurt you.
You know I see all kinds of people when I do my job.
This is nothing. I see stuff that's much worse everyday.
This isn't just something special that happened to your family.
- Can I become a reporter? - You want to be a reporter?
I had never thought about it. But I like the job.
You did something even the police couldn't.
Hey! Don't do it. Don't even think about doing it. This is a lot of hard work.
Why would you want to do this?
It doesn't even look good.
It looks good.
Geez. You know that you have to be smart to be a journalist. Are you smart?
Yeah.
It's not just the brain you need. You also need the face to be a reporter on TV, like me.
That's just me then.
Just come. And I will take care of you.
You have experienced a lot. You will make a good journalist.
You will see the loopholes in this society with your heart, not just your eyes.
You will have the guts to fight it. Other babies can never fight it.
Study hard and get in. And I will give you a chance.
You promised.
I won't have to worry about you having a good life.
Here. Eat up.
Okay.
First message.
My last message to the me of 20 years ago.
I will be going back at noon. I can never come back here again.
No matter what message you leave me, I can't answer you back.
So forget me, and live your life.
You don't need to find out how I lived.
Because every decision you make will make me.
I told you right? You always made the right decision.
You will have a good life.
So forget about my existence.
If you live every day the right way
then you will find me in the mirror after 20 years.
I will see you in 20 years.
Message has been erased.
My last message to myself 20 years later. Did you get back alright?
I will trust you that I will understand my brother someday.
I will also believe that I will always make the right decision.
You seemed like a good person to me.
You were also brave.
I won't leave a message to you again or try to find out what you are doing.
I'm a man of my word.
You know that right?
I will see you 20 years later. Bye.
[14 years later, 2007]
Hey! We're missing the arm! The right arm!
- Right arm? - Black jacket! Go find it.
Hey! Move! Don't touch that.
Hey! Keep the journalists under control. What are you doing?
Keep them out!
Reporter Park!
We won't find anything here. Let's go to the hospital.
Where did he go? Reporter Park! Reporter Park!
Reporter Park!
- Hello? - Where are you right now?
Oh hey. Can you call the police?
I found one of the missing arms in the tunnel.
I told you. This wasn't an accident. It's a murder.
They didn't set up a blockade?
- Yes Director. - Where are you?
- I just left. - It's the recruit party today.
Don't you miss it.
I almost died just now.
You called me when I was in a life or death situation. And all you could talk about is a party?
I don't care if you crack your head open. But don't miss the corporate party.
If you miss it again, then you're out.
You said that you will take care of me. I don't see anything you're doing for me.
- You lied to a naive high school student. - Shut up! Just get up here!
Long live the Director.
- What took you so long? - I just got back from Gwangju.
- Is it this room? - Yeah.
Who's that pig screaming?
She's a recruit. She's so funny.
Min Young!
- What happened? - She's knocked out.
That was a clean shot.
You come late and you beat up a recruit?
I beat her up?
It's bleeding. It's cut open.
- Shouldn't we take her to the hospital? - You take her Park Sun Woo.
Me? I just got here.
It was so fun thanks to her. You ruined the fun.
Go take her.
Okay bye.
You're finally awake.
- Who are you? - Who am I?
I'm your senior.
Senior? I've never met you.
That's because you were knocked out the moment you saw me.
What's your name?
It's Joo Min Young.
Okay Joo Min Young. It seems that you came in while I was away for a business trip.
You listen carefully.
You know what kind of person I hate the most?
People who can't control themselves when they are drunk. People like you.
You pulled my hair about 10 times on the way here.
You threw up three times on my clothes.
You kept saying that the taxi driver must be good in bed because he's bald.
You kept crying for me to hug you. That hurt my back.
You made a mess in the ER saying that it hurts.
And you told everyone that you're a CBM reporter and embarrassed the firm.
You're the worst.
Joo Min Young. I got you.
Your work is going to be fun from now on.
Prepare for it.
Okay.
What do you mean okay? Why did you say that?
Is the appropriate thing for you to say right now 'Okay?' Are you that slow?
How did you do on the test in?
I'm sorry.
By the way, you're really good at making arguments. I like men that can talk.
- What? - You look good.
Do you have a girlfriend?
I don't.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Senior!
I'm sober now.
I'm sorry about earlier. Next time I'll...
Where are you going?
Where else can I go? I'm going home.
- I was going to buy you coffee. - Buy me what?
I'm sorry.
Coffee? Or do you want to...
Wait! Hold on!
Why are you getting in?
Move over a bit.
Hey!
Are you out of your mind?
What is wrong with you?
I'm going to take the subway. Can you drop me off at any station?
Any station? There's one right there.
I mean Line 2. Any stations that's Line 2.
Let's go.
What is your name by the way?
I'm not telling you.
Why not?
I'm Joo Min Young. My name is Joo Min Young.
I know! I know! You told me.
I did?
What about you? I think you will have a good name.
- Are you sober now? - Yes.
Then listen to me carefully.
If you try to be a girl again to me, I will kill you.
You're already on my bad side for being a drunk. If you try to flirt with me again, I will...
What?
Can you stop the car please?
- We're not there yet. - Stop the car! Please!
Okay.
Hey! What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry. I have to go.
Bye!
Is she really out of her mind?
Remember my face.
Don't ever forget it.
This is impossible. How?
Later, when you see someone just like me...
Don't stay close to him.
Don't try to become his friend.
Don't try to take interest.
Why not?
He is going to ruin your life.
Just stay away from him.
He is going to ruin your life. Just stay away from him.
Excuse me.
What the hell?
Hey! Where is Joo Min Young?
Yeah Joo Min Young! What did you do to her last night?
- What? - You know what she just told me?
Does Park Sun Woo have a criminal record?
What?
Like sexual harassment or for rape.
What?
If not a criminal record...
Are there rumors about him being violent?
- I guess. - Or is he a jerk?
Adultery. Annulled marriage.
Anything like that?
What?
What did you do to her? Why does she think you're all of that?
What did you do?
She is out of her mind.
- Hey. - Hello sir.
Let me see you for a sec.
- Why? - Come follow me.
Can't we talk here?
- What's wrong? - I said let's talk.
Don't do this! Hey! Help me! Help!
What is wrong with her? He just wants to talk to her.
I know right?
What's wrong?
What do you think? What?
Are you afraid that I will beat you up? Or I will sexually assault you?
They can see me from the outside. I won't ever do that.
Even if I were the worst rapist, I wouldn't do it here.
Talk to me. Why are you doing this to me? Why did you run last night?
I can't understand anything you've done from the moment I met you.
Are you really crazy? Or is there another reason?
I'm sorry. I have a lot of inner conflicts.
What inner conflicts?
I have a trauma I can't get over.
Trauma?
Yeah, but I can't tell you. You will think that I'm crazy.
I already think that you're crazy. Is there anything else?
Yes.
I don't want to know the details. Tell me just a little.
Give me the overall picture.
The overall picture?
I really like you. I think it's love at first sight.
I have never felt like this in the last 25 years.
But you're someone I can't love. That troubles me.
The reason I can't love you is...
It's because I think you're going to ruin my life.
Don't ask why I think so. I can't tell you that.
So I thought if I should find a different place to work.
But I really wanted to work here.
I always wanted to become a TV reporter.
My parents are really happy too.
I can't quit because of you.
This is really hard for me.
So I wanted to ask you.
Can you stay away from me?
What?
I want to stay away from you. I don't want to get close.
Don't be nice to me. I don't want you to call me or see me outside of work.
Yes, I really like you too.
But it's really scary.
It's really painful for me. So help me.
You.
Are you really crazy?
I'm not crazy.
What the -
Okay.
I can definitely tell you this.
I won't ever be interested in you even if you beg for it.
I won't be calling you.
I don't ever want to see you outside of work.
I'm already scared that you will like me.
You're not my type at all. Your face, body, or personality. None of it.
I won't ever be touching you.
So you don't have to worry about me, and only worry about working.
Just don't say that you quit because of me. Okay?
That! Please don't do that!
Do what?
That's just too sexy.
Gosh, I told you.
I want to work here.
What's wrong with her? What did she say?
Joo Min Young is completely crazy. She's a psychopath.
She's completely lost it.
She will be the worst nemesis in my life.
How did she get in here?
Who picked her?
This is driving me nuts!
[Year 2008]
Sun Woo.
What are you doing?
I don't know. What was I doing?
Answer the phone please.
- You treated me like I was a rapist. - I'm sorry.
I won't ever do that again. I'm sorry.
Shut up.
- Come here. - I'm sorry. I won't ever do it again.
- I won't ever do it again. - What are you doing?
Director! Can you call the police? She's has really bad hands.
Turn her over to the police.
I didn't touch you. Why are you touching me? Let me go.
You're the one who touched me first. You're in trouble.
- Call the police. - Look at you two having fun.
Are you crazy? What do you think you're doing?
- Stay still. - Help me! Help!
- I got you now. - Please help!
[Year 2009]
Sun Woo!
Are you tired? I got you some coffee.
- What are you doing here? - Huh?
You can't sit here. We need to keep our distance.
Hey! Can you switch the seats with Joo Min Young?
Hey, I know what's going on. Who would she want to sit with?
What? This isn't going to work.
I'm going to ruin her life if we get close like this.
Oops, I'm sorry. It was my mistake.
No, it's okay. You can lean on me, you look tired.
I can't do that. I'm a man of my word.
- Will you stop already? - Stop what?
That was so long ago. I was scared back then.
I said that I take it all back. I know that you're not a bad person.
What are you talking about? You said that it was a trauma.
You can't get over trauma that easily.
I respect your trauma.
Your trauma is important.
Oh!
Did I talk too much again? Did I arouse your sexual desire?
I'm really sorry.
[Year 2010]
[Park Sun Woo]
Hello? Hi Sun Woo.
Me?
I'm home.
Come out if you have nothing else to do. Let's go watch a movie.
A movie?
Sun Woo!
Hey!
What? What's up with your clothes?
Are you on drugs?
Min Young must have thought that she was watching the movie with Park Sun Woo alone.
Oh that's it!
You thought it was a date? I feel bad for her.
We just came here to kill time.
Are you crying?
Why are you crying?
It's embarrassing.
What's embarrassing?
It's not the first time you're doing this.
I thought it was for real today.
What is real? You think I will call you for personal reasons?
- It's about time you can. - Who says I can?
Good for you then.
Geez.
By the way. Don't I look pretty?
Crazy.
[Year 2011]
- Hello? - Reporter Park Sun Woo? It's me.
Are you that rich? International calls are expensive.
- I'm leaving right now. - From where?
New York!
What?
It's my vacation today. Come see me at the airport.
Vacation? But why are you coming here? You didn't even ask my schedule.
I know that you're free. Don't act like you're busy.
- What? - Plan what you're going to do with me from now on.
- Are you giving me orders? - Welcome me when I get there.
A kiss.
- What kiss? - Or a hug.
Give you what?
I have to check in. I will call you back.
Hello? Hello?
What? You hung up first?
Joo Min Young is really out of control.
[December, 2012]
Jung Woo!
It's been a long time.
Take a seat.
I went to see Mother in the morning. She's still the same.
She's gotten better. I heard she speaks sometimes. But I've never heard her.
- I see. - May I take your order?
Steak is good here. Have some.
Okay, order me something you like.
Can I get two of these cooked medium?
- How are you doing? - Good.
What?
It's amazing every time I see you.
What is?
The man who helped us twenty years ago.
I get surprised every time I see you.
You look just like him.
Really?
I think you look more and more like him.
Do I?
I don't remember.
Aren't you going to get married? You don't have a girl?
What about you? Why aren't you getting married?
We can't have fantasies about marriage.
But if I ever do get married, there is a girl I want to marry.
- Who? - There is this crazy girl.
She has about 99 bad things about her, but only one good thing about her.
I won't ever be depressed with her around me.
- Who is she? I want to know. - I will show her next time.
I thought about her bringing her out, but she was going to over react.
I just can't keep her under control.
Okay, I will see her next time I come in.
Are you going to stay in Korea for the end of the year?
No, I'm going to Nepal tomorrow.
Nepal?
I'm going to stay there until next year.
She's going to Nepal too. She has an interview at Annapurna.
You're leaving early.
You stay somewhere warm.
We're going to the battlefield.
Have fun.
Bye!
- Where's Joo Min Young? - Min Young?
She was looking for you earlier.
Where did he go?
What are you doing here alone? They are all downstairs.
- Where have you been? - Out to lunch.
I'm leaving today. Don't you think that this is too much?
You have lunch with someone else?
I forgot.
Don't stick your mouth out.
It's your business trip. What do you want me to do?
But I won't be seeing you for weeks.
So what?
What do I have to do then?
- Were you looking forward to something like this? - Yes.
And then?
- And then... something like... - Something like? What?
You know.
Like this?
Yeah, something like this.
And then?
You know.
Know what?
Why aren't you doing it?
This reminds me of something.
I promised that I won't ever touch you.
What if I ruin your life?
You're not going to ruin it!
- You said that it was a trauma in your life. - I can't remember anything!
Min Young! Are you in there?
Hurry! Do it! I don't have much time!
Go! You're going to be late.
I still have 10 more minutes.
So what? You want more?
No. The next kiss will be in the next year.
What?
Wait for a year. I will kiss you in a year.
What?
It's every 5 years for the first kiss. Then it's once a year.
Then it's once every 6 months.
I will keep on shortening it.
You're kidding right?
I'm not kidding.
What are you trying to be? A noble priest?
That's what's hot about me. You know it too.
If you don't want to wait, you can marry someone else.
Young Su! Joo Min Young is here. Come take her.
What the heck? Did he play with me?
Hey! Where are you going?
Wait for me for 5 minutes.
This is it! I know now!
What? You didn't leave yet?
I was wondering how you would ruin my life. This was it.
You were going to make me wait and die a virgin.
That's how you were going to ruin my life. Only if I knew...
You weren't an ex-con or a rapist. He was right!
What?
I should have listened to him and stay away from you.
Why didn't I listen to him?
What are you talking about?
I should have listened to him.
Who are you talking about?
Someone that looks just like you.
He told me to stay away from someone that looks just like you when I see you.
I even promised him. Why did I do it?
What are you...
He told me to stay away from someone that looks just like you when I see you.
I even promised him. Why did I do that?
What are you...
Someone that looks just like me?
I met someone who looks just like you a long time ago.
Remember my face.
Don't ever forget it.
When you see someone that looks just like me, stay away from him.
Don't get close.
Don't take interest.
He's going to ruin your life.
Just stay away from him.
I didn't know that he meant this.
When was this?
When was it?
When did you meet that man?
When I was in elementary school.
When?
The year I was going to America. So it was 1993.
Why?
Where did you meet him?
Seoul.
Where in Seoul?
It was near my place. So it was near Chongro.
What's wrong?
He told you that and died back then?
He died. I saw him.
How did he die?
I don't know.
He was really hurt.
Was that the trauma that you told me about?
Yeah.
Hey Joo Min Young! What are you doing?
You have to hurry. We're really out of time now.
Run!
I'm really angry. Don't call me again. I won't answer it even if you do.
This plane will be taking off shortly. Please turn all of your electronics off. Thank you.
[Park Sun Woo]
What?
Why didn't you listen to him then?
- What? - You said that he told you to stay away from me.
Why didn't you listen to him after even promising him?
- What? - Why did you not listen to him and stay around me?
That's because he said it out of nowhere.
You stayed away from me at first.
That's because you believed him. Why did you stay around me after that?
He even said that it will ruin your life.
I like you. I had no choice. I can't force myself out.
You're such a fool.
He probably told you that because he knew what you would do.
Imagine how worried he was to leave that as his will.
Why did you have to stick around me?
For five years? You had no one else?
Are you that stupid?
Why are you being angry at me?
What are you going to do when I die now?
What?
- Excuse me. Can you turn your phone off? - You're going to die? Why?
What are you talking about?
Excuse me.
I have to go. I will call you when I land.
My last message to myself 20 years later.
Did you get back safely? I will trust your words.
That I will understand my brother one day.
Hello? It's me.
Get me a plane ticket. I have to go to Nepal today.
I will also trust that I will always make the right decision.
You looked like a good man in my eyes. You were also brave.
If you live every day to your best, you will see me in the mirror 20 years later.
I will see you in 20 years.
I will see you in 20 years. Bye.
One sec.
Which one are you looking for?
One with dual time function that's digital.
Can I try this?
This is good.
[Young Hoon]
Hello?
Hey! Where are you? You were supposed to see me.
- Airport. - Why at the airport?
- You're going to see Min Young? - She holds the key.
The key to my fate.
What are you talking about?
It was not just the brain tumor that was the problem.
- What? - Listen to me.
The future me from 2013 died in the past in 1993.
You think I can avoid that if I know it because it happens in the future?
Or is it already a set course because I died in the past?
What do you think?
December 4, 2012
My first message to myself.
I don't know if it's fortunate or unfortunate that your will didn't work.
Joo Min Young loved me regardless.
I can no longer live without not caring about the future.
Perhaps this is what happened.
Because you left a strong impression to Min Young when she was young
You're really good at making arguments. I like men that can talk.
She fell in love with me at the first sight.
Go to Chongro Police Department.
I could have become a reporter because of the connection you made for me in the past.
Are you a reporter?
If that's true, then I can save you.
I can prevent Min Young from being unhappy because of me.
But that's not true.
What would you have done right now? I would keep it simple right now.
I will just believe what I want to believe.
And I will just love the girl that I love.

It's been a long time, Brother.
