Something's happened!
1983, Winter
Episode 7
Thanks, you lunatic.
Because of you,
the two cameras used by the school's newspaper have been broken.
All the photographs taken today have been destroyed.
You call yourself a reporter, look at the good you've done.
The cameras, I'll pay for them.
Sang Taek, now's not the time to talk about that.
Ya.
I've heard of reporters who sacrificed their bodies to protect their film,
but I've never heard of throwing away the film in order to save the reporter.
No matter what,
thank you.
Don't drink too much,
if there's anything, let's keep in contact.
Bye. Bye, Hyungnim.
When you fight someone, you have to get rid of them completely.
If you go easy on them, they'll come back again looking for another fight.
When I was in high school,
I went on a first date with a female classmate that I liked.
There was a little conflict with some of the local gangsters.
That was what my friend told me when he saved me.
If there's another fight,
I'll put my life on the line, that's what I thought.
But, right now, the fight we're fighting doesn't seem that way, does it?
You're too emotional.
The patriotic, are the enemies of revolution.
No matter what,
I'm worried about the future of our school newspaper.
The editor chief seems to be thinking about
letting you be the research chief for our grade.
Can he hand the newspaper to someone like you?
Sunbae.
I turned in my letter of resignation to the school.
I'm joining the army.
Two-faced.
Coward.
To be honest, being kind is good.
But don't do this. Don't do this again.
It's not even a man, being nagged at by a woman is very hard to take.
Since I was young,
my mother was always sick.
So I grew up never listening to anyone nag.
Honestly, what does being at this age mean?
Freedom, courage, youth, isn't that what it's supposed to signify?
I'm really frustrated, frustrated.
Jin Suk, since young, has always been a little different.
She always talked back to me, that girl.
Do Ru Ko.
Lee Jun Seok!
What?
Let's take a trip.
Where?
Sang Gon Hyungnim wants to see you.
Jun Seok, it's been a while.
You've become handsome.
Is your Dad doing well?
Yes.
In this place, unless you're going to stab me,
don't casually have that expression in your eyes.
Make him three suits according to his color, too.
According to the recent style.
Yes.
We will have more meetings in the future.
Also, we need more communication in order to develop feelings.
That's right. Do you know what communication means?
That means surpassing the normal standard of conversation,
and getting to know each other better.
That is, you understand me, I understand me, that's what it means.
Maybe you have a lot of misunderstandings about me.
But if communications are cut off between people,
it will create unnecessary negative feelings.
Let's...
communicate a little, eh?
If we look at the past,
you and I did not have a normal relationship either. Right?
Yes.
It's done.
Now, you let him take your measurements.
Confucius said before,
let a boy's hair grow,
before letting him wear a hat illustrated by a youth who was 20 years old, by the name of Ya Kon.
It means to leave the arms of his parents, and to become an adult.
Then, what is an adult?
Being able to feed himself and spend money that he earns himself is an adult.
You're thinking about how I betrayed your father and your brothers , right. Right?
Okay, let's just say I did that.
Then, why did I do that?
Because I was greedy?
Definitely not!
There used to be a saying, a light that has darkness underneath it,
can see through the water, but not through people's hearts.
Do you know that, too?
Is anybody allowed to enter your dad's vault?
Besides your Dad and Heng Du, is there anyone else?
Even though I don't know what
Heng Du was doing with your father's money,
I took the risk of having my guts ripped out, and told your father.
But, what came out of it?!
I've being thinking about that till now.
I can't sleep at night, and I feel that it's a shame.
You don't have anything else on at night, do you?
At first it was 2 billion won.
Then it became 4 billion won.
In the end, the amount that was invested was 6 billion won.
Really, it can kill someone.
Here, let's have something to drink.
Yes.
Ah, greet everyone here.
Everyone present here are businessmen engaged in legal activities,
they are as close to me as brothers.
Everybody, this is the son of the President,
- Lee Jun Seok. - Oh, is that so?
I'm Lee Jun Seok.
You've grown so big.
Is that so? Good to meet you.
He grew up really handsome.
Since you've met them already,
you should go into the room and get yourself a drink.
For you, I've prepared a present that is quite impressive.
Here, let's have another drink.
Oppa, hello!
You are...?
You don't remember me?
You should have seen me before.
What are you doing here?
What else could I be doing?
I was waiting for you to come.
Starting from the time when the Japanese conquered us,
whenever our country needed gangsters like us,
which time did we not initiate it by ourselves?
You're right.
From my point of view,
even our country's independent army from the time the Japanese conquered us,
their ways of communication are the same as ours right now.
Don't you think so?
You're right.
Honestly, especially our Kyeongsangdo District,
from history's point of view, it's Shilla.
That's why I personally bought a book to read, and to confirm my thoughts.
Wow.
Hundreds and thousands of years ago, in the time of the Three Dynasties,
even though the way they carried it out is not the same as us right now,
when a country is in danger, to throw away all thoughts of survival and to spill hot blood,
that was all done by people who were courageous.
That's why, I clarified a fact.
Hwarang.
It's the Hwarang spirit that has been passed down to us
from generation to generation. And that also means, it really exists.
Here, to the people that feel the same as I do, cheers!
Cheers!
- Here, for our Hwarang, cheers! - Hwarang, cheers!
Is that so?
Put in more effort and add some drugs.
Here, here, have another glass.
For our Hwarang, cheers!
For Hwarang!
A glass of coffee, please.
We'll talk next time.
But this suits you very well.
- Bye. - Okay.
Please come back again!
Hello, Boss Seong.
How annoying, she flipped through this once, and she wanted to flip through it again.
Hot steaming coffee.
The whole world wants to be a soldier like you.
If only the men in Korea were as passionate
about going to university as they are about going to be a soldier.
That's because you don't know anything.
As long as you become a foot soldier, you've earned it.
Do you know how many discounts we get as troops that are in the midst of preparation?
Then when can you get commissioned?
It's so easy. First grade pin, third grade pin, sixth grade pin.
Our troop leader is picking out snipers for the special service team to be sent abroad.
But, I thought about you.
So I said even if they kill me, I can't go.
You,
go participate in one of those big conventions, how about it?
What convention?
The World Crawling and Tumbling Convention!
Oh, that's right.
When is the registration deadline for that?
This year, I heard the selection process in the country was going to be held in Pao Zhou.
Is there really such a convention?
Of course there is!
Loyalty!
You've worked hard.
What time is it?
Second grade, Lee Sang Ho. It's 5:15.
Joong.
Second grade, Kim Joong Ho.
You kid, the time you use is getting longer and longer.
It's because Ahmaedong area has many slopes,
so sending a message takes a little more time.
Kid, talk nonsense, talk nonsense.
Is the Frightening Aliens (a comic) No. 7 out yet?
It will come out by tomorrow.
Look, you bastard!
You were the one who hid it under the floorboards right?
Joong, what did you just say?
Nothing.
Say it, kid.
Attention, at rest. Attention, at rest! Attention.
Just now, what did you say?
Say it, kid,
- what did you say just now? - Nothing.
Ah, to be hit by a lowly soldier, you have no dignity, right?
You've improved a lot!
Joong, kid.
Centipede move! Bite, bite, bite you!
- Kim Joong Ho! - 2nd Grade Kim...
Who is this, isn't this my Sang Taek?!
Joong Ho!
Sang Taek!
Ah, you kid, how've you been?
It's okay, how long has it been since we graduated?
It really isn't.
From now on, the distance in people's lives is getting bigger and bigger.
Yes, when we went to school we still didn't know anything, and fooled around together.
Compared to now, everything's different.
You have Seoul University as your moniker.
Stop joking.
Kid, go to a good university, and from then on, your life will be a lot brighter.
Aigoo, but, the distance between us will get greater and greater.
You, will continue to stay in Seoul and live there.
Then, it'll be difficult to see you once.
If we don't see each other for a long time, then naturally, our hearts will grow apart.
That'll be the case.
I don't know, I still can't feel it up till now.
For a person staying in Seoul by himself,
you can just imagine your friends in Busan gathering together, that sounds pretty good to me.
See, Dong Soo is out at sea fishing,
Jun Seok, I haven't seen him for a long time, too.
The Rainbow girls, I don't see them very often either.
What? Aren't Jin Suk and Seong Ae in Busan?
After graduation, Jun Seok and Jin Suk...
got very very close.
But Seong Ae stepped in between them, and violently forbade them from being together,
so the relationship between them got worse, too.
Why? Why did she stop them from being together?
Things didn't look too good, then.
What things?
Busan, this port city, even if it gets bigger,
wouldn't it still be in the hands of the old master?
Who did what where, it wouldn't even take a week to get to my ears.
Worse still, Jun Seok, that fellow, went around creating trouble.
It wasn't just a couple of people who knew him.
And he was with Rainbow's Jin Suk, and another woman.
Seong Ae calculated that there would be pain in that.
Now, Jun Seok has betrayed his father and is standing on Sang Gon's side.
He's become a lot different.
Actually, for Sang Gon to pull Jun Seok over to his side,
he must utilize him now quite easily.
Jun Seok is looking after the machines in the illegal gambling centers.
According to the fellows working there, he runs the center illegally by night,
but he secretly trades cocaine.
When he wakes up in the morning, there are traces of cocaine and syringes everywhere.
Actually,
Jin Suk also knows that Jun Seok is messing around with another girl.
But because of her pride, she can't speak up.
Customer 28.
The minute you sat down, you hit the jackpot.
Oh, did you bring it, did you bring it?
What are you doing?
Jin Suk.
When you came in, did you find anybody by the door?
No.
Why? Is someone coming?
No, no. There's no need to worry even you.
Jin Suk.
You...
Do you still have some money?
No, I have no money.
Where do you think you're going?
- Get out of my way! - No.
Today, you had better not go out.
Staying in at home, who would give me money?
I have to go walk around outside before people will give me money!
You.
Do you take me as a fool?
What?
I am now clear, too, about what you're doing outside.
What?
You wretch,
- what are you talking about?! - During this period of time,
I've closed an eye to everything, isn't that enough?
Are you really, only fit to be this kind of person?
You wretch, you dare...?!
Gangster, leech, addict,
and now you even dare raise your hand and hit me.
Gangster, leech...
Jun Seok doesn't seem to be in.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
Who is it?
Wow, come here quickly, my dear friends!
Have you been well?
Friends, why did you buy these things?
Jin Suk! Jin Suk!
Wow, it's fantastic, both my friends have become university students.
Where are you going?
We're out of coffee.
Come here and talk to me for a while.
You, look like your health is not very good.
No, it's not that. The effect of the medicine is going away.
At first, there will be some chills, hallucinations.
What medicine?
What... What medicine? Drugs.
Are you taking drugs?
No.
I was just talking.
You kids.
I had to become trash before you would come and see me.
Right?
How old are you this year?
22 years old.
From today onwards,
don't come here anymore.
Such a good and young girl, following scum of the earth,
and coming to a family that only has males.
If it were your parents looking at the situation,
it's a heartbreaking thing.
I don't know what promise there is between you young people,
but completely forgetting scum like that is the very first step you have to take.
But...
- I still think... - No.
You don't have to think about that.
If you ever appear in front of me again,
or hang around that kid,
I will have to send him to the hospital, or the prison for sure.
As long as you know, it's okay.
Ah, Captain, it's been a while!
You've made some money, right?
A little.
Are there girls?
We've prepared many for you!
The waters are good, but there are so many boats in this horrible weather.
Are the boats going to be delayed again?
Yes, in this bad weather, a lot of boats can't dock.
Even so, we've already picked the best fish.
Soju and ramen.
If you know, do it.
I will take care of you to the fullest. Go in and drink to your heart's content!
This time, there are a few new girls, they're not too bad.
Really?
Then you prepare a table well!
Special service! Wait for a little while.
Save me.
Save me!
- Who is it? - Save me.
Save me.
I beg you, take me out of here.
Ahjussi!
Save me.
Who are you?
Do you think this is like your boat?
What is this?
You mind your own goddamn business.
If you're here to drink, go well, and pat some girl's butt, and call it a day.
While I'm being nice, did you hear me?!
I don't really like bastards like you.
You bastard.
Your cowardly spirit has flown away?
Do you know where this place is?
You dare...?
Stop!
Captain! This kid wants to take that person!
Ya! Is he someone you know!
I'm asking you, is he someone you know!?
Yes, he's someone I know.
Are you sure?
Yes, he's the father of a friend of mine.
Ya, are you playing around with me right now?!
Ya, that's enough.
Didn't he say he was a friend's father?
Ah, damn it, the celebratory feelings from the alcohol have really been destroyed.
Today, don't find fault with the amount we pay you for the alcohol.
I'm taking that person away, understand?
- How can that be? - What?
Is it troublesome?
Do you want to be hit once?
Then...
I'll leave first.
That kid...
When did he start?
Aren't I stupid?
Jun Seok...
Until now, he still can't come out of it.
He thought that thoroughly destroying himself
would be his revenge against his father.
Today,
we really came at a bad time, right?
No.
You came at the perfect time.
Jun Seok said,
he became trash, that's why we came to look for him. Really...
we can't say anything to that.
Even if you were by his side, there wouldn't be any difference.
His life, has to be his own responsibility,
this time.
No, it's not that.
I always feel, that that kid and Dong Soo,
were expelled from school because of me.
I always feel... that...
In the past,
you once begged me
to go to the reading room with you.
Do you remember?
Mm.
It was because I wanted to study together. Other than that, what else could there be there?
It's not that.
Let's go have a drink.
I want to, with a university student...
feel what a date is like.
That's right.
After you went to university, did you get a girlfriend?
Is she pretty?
You...
Are you very upset?
Is that so?
You discovered it.
Yes.
Since I was born, until now,
I never thought that because of my decisions,
I would end up becoming as pathetic as this.
Do you want to go back with me?
No.
I'm planning on giving up.
Sang Taek.
What?
You...
wore a coat here, right?
A coat?
Let's go buy Christmas cards.
My Mom...
I want to send a card to my Mom.
My Mom...
is too pitiful.
She gave birth to such a son like me,
and she had to take care of that bad-tempered old man.
Lying on the bed for 5 years,
and died in the end anyway.
My father,
never gave a cent.
So I don't have anything that I can wear out.
It's so cold outside.
Sang Taek.
Let's promise each other something.
What?
I...
only learned the ways of gangsters.
So in the future, if you especially hate someone and you want to kill him,
tell me. Just one person.
I'll kill him for you.
You, too.
If I'm old and can't fight anymore, and I look for you, can you...
get a taxi for me and let me drive it?
Taxi?
Yes.
I can't keep relying on people to live.
By that time, you could have a wife and a children.
Don't say things like that.
No.
No matter how I think about it, there's only you.
Around me, there are only gangsters left.
Can you promise me?
I can't.
Promise me!
I'm begging you. Eh?
I get it. I promise you.
I'm coming!
Oppa! Are you crazy?!
Oh, I'm so cold!
You can never tell Mom, understand?!
I know. But where did your coat go?
Did it... get stolen by gangsters?
When have you ever seen anything of mine stolen by a gangster?
That's because you were always with Jun Seok Oppa.
What did you say?
You think like that?
Why? Is it not so?
There's that possibility.
Shin Ae.
What?
Do girls
like guys who can fight well?
Why? Does someone not like you because you can't fight well?
No. It's just...
I'm curious to know how you girls think.
Guys and girls are the same.
What?
Guys, too.
Even though they don't look very nice, but as long as he's smart, it's okay.
For girls, there could be very stupid ones, but very pretty, there are people who like them, too.
That's true. You're right.
Oppa, what about you?
Me?
You like pretty ones, right?
I don't disagree, I like pretty ones, too.
I just knew it.
No wonder you used to like the lead singer of Rainbow.
What did you say?
This wretch... Really.
Dad is looking for you.
Eun Hee!
- Ah, let me go! - Go for a drink with me!
Can't you see I'm busy with something?
I have something
- that made me especially happy today. - Aigoo, okay.
Come here!
Come here, you!
- Come here! - You let go!
Hye Jin! Hurry!
I will take care of myself well.
Okay.
Aigoo, my son.
How could you be enlisting in the army so soon?
That's enough!
Is it tiring studying?
That's true, going early in the morning, and studying is also a good idea.
You did well.
Dad.
I have something to say.
I...
don't want to take the exam.
Sang Taek, what are you saying?
Is that so? Let's hear your reasons.
Under the dictatorship of the army,
I don't think I could become a conscientious judge like Dad talks about.
Oh my.
Sang Taek, are you rebelling?
It's not that.
Then what do you plan to do in the future?
After I graduate,
I want to take the exam to become a reporter.
Right now, a reporter that can showcase the truth,
is what's important in this period of time.
That, too...
I've heard that reporters now, have to run around day in day out, it's very tiring.
I still think you're better off being a judge.
Sit there comfortably.
I know what you mean. You sit there comfortably.
Long ago, when we lived in Kangmandong,
Jun Hyung Ahjussi who used to live across from us, do you remember him?
Yes.
You might not know about him,
but he was a sunbae from your school who graduated from the business school in Seoul University.
Oh, is that so?
Yes. He's also a smart guy, and he has quite good looks.
Then... What about him?
That Hyungnim, used to be someone who didn't like to be in the limelight.
When things got chaotic due to renovations,
he went to protest, and was caught and brought to Nam San.
From then on, he became a cripple, and lived like that for the rest of his life.
That's right.
His grandmother still makes knickknacks at the market, even till now.
Her son is so old, yet she's still picking up his excrement. Her life, too...
Nobody can be right when it comes to looking at people.
No matter if it's Hyungnim, or you,
Shin Ae or Kyu Taek,
wherever you go, people will say good things about you to make you feel good.
But I and your mother, have no intention of relying on you to live. Just...
I think, that our family would not wish to experience that sort of misfortune.
- Go! - Come out of it, really!
Let's have a drink!
- Let go of me! - Let's go!
- Hey, hey! - Let go.
You bastards!
Let's go!
You bastard.
Bastards, are you out of your minds?!
Let's go.
Damn you, dirty bastard!
Don't go!
You bastards!
Don't go, you bastards!
Look at him, all sunburnt!
Dad, Dad, Dad!
Mm, it's quite good.
I think all these are quite good.
But if only the seas near Busan had tuna...
No matter what, you've all worked hard.
I'm in a good mood, you've worked hard.
Director Jeong.
This is the person in charge of security here, Boss Cha.
Because those fellows made my head hurt, so I decided to use him.
Greet each other.
Director Jeong, pleased to meet you.
It's been hard on you. I'm Cha Sang Gon.
Aren't you guys the gangsters around here? Eh?
President, really...
To catch thieves, you even bring the thief in. What's the meaning of this?
Director Jeong, aren't you the same? How can you say that?
I don't care.
Aren't you coming over quickly?
Ah, this person...
Don't be like that.
Why is he so sensitive?
Is there something he's not happy about?
What are they?
Recently, after they've shown up, everybody's been like that.
Oppa, did you think about me?
In a while, you have to come over to our place.
In order to commemorate the Olympic Games,
the name of our shop has changed to Victoria 88. You have to come.
Victoria 88, what's that? How old-fashioned.
- Shouldn't it be Victory 88? - Dong Soo.
What are you staring at me for?
What?
What are you going to do in the future?
I'll try and contact my friend.
Working under him, I really escaped with only one life out of nine.
If I owe you anything, just tell me.
Jun Bo.
If...
I was a murderer, and went around hiding from people,
what would you do?
I...
know you, Ahjussi.
You really...
are my friend's father.
Jin Suk's mother!
Oh, Jin Suk's father!
Aigoo, what's this?
Be careful!
I'm really thankful to you.
I will contact you using Jin Suk's phone.
No matter how poor our family is, you have to make a trip here.
I just called Jin Suk and Jin Kyeong, they'll be here in a while.
I know.
Dad!
- Dad! - Jin Suk.
Dad, what's wrong with you?
Dad, Dad! How could this happen?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Dong Soo, what should I do?
Thank you.
Really, thank you.
I was just lucky.
The last few days on the boat, he got a little better.
But they said it would be better if he got a checkup at a big hospital.
Bring him.
Mm. I will.
Go back in.
When you go to the hospital, if you need...
Oh, right, Jun Seok, how has he been?
If you just left like that, it would make me feel really bad.
Do you have time tomorrow?
I'm leaving.
Dong Soo!
I...
will owe you a favor for the rest of my life.
You've stayed quite a long time.
But you still look very healthy.
I do about a thousand pushups a day.
You'll get arthritis, kid.
I...
I'm afraid of pouring you alcohol.
You'll pour me some, and I'll drink again.
It's fine.
Even if you die, you have to finish it.
Here, cheers!
Let's call it quits today.
When Dad's feeling better, we'll go outside,
and order lots of food.
Tonight, we've drunk enough.
Okay?
Okay.
This alcohol tastes delicious.
Pour me another glass.
I know.
But... You and Dong Soo, what relationship do you have?
We're friends, since high school.
Are you in a relationship?
No. We're just friends.
Why? You like him?
It's a necklace! Is it for me?
It's really pretty.
It's a present that Dad received in Vietnam.
You give it to him.
It's the first time I've seen it.
It was a present that a tribal chief in Vietnam gave to me.
He placed all his hopes that I wouldn't die, and I would be safe, on this necklace.
You,
in the future, don't go to prison.
Yes.
I know things in your brain are complicated right now,
but the world has changed again during that period of time.
Don't be anxious either.
I'll remember that.
These are the people you know. I'll just tell you roughly.
If you contact them, they'll meet you.
You better not...
take any more medicated wine.
I'm not addicted.
I'm back.
It's Jun Seok.
This kid...
isn't human.

Dad told me I had to give this to you.
Come over, I'll put it on for you.
You're beyond redemption.
They're here to collect money.
What did you say?
Dong Soo!
Dong Soo, it's me, it's me.
I'm now...
The Hyung.
A little while ago, I met Jin Suk.
I heard your first love isn't perfect.
The person Jun Seok needs... isn't me.
Dong Soo!
Director Jeong... He!
Are you going to prison?
