Episode 12
Who is it?
We're from the town office.
Just a sec.
Hyungnim, why did they send us to deal with this?
Idiot, this isn't a simple hit; it's confinement!
What does the town office want?
It's another message about your social security card.
We've sent many messages that it's expired...
I haven't gotten any calls about it.
Hyungnim!
What the...
Gag and tie him, put him in the shed and make sure he can't kill himself.
The boss'll take care of him personally. Got it?
Yes, Sir.
The boss sends word that he will not forget this debt.
Open it up.
Bring it here.
Let's go talk.
He was well.
Was he even curious?
Yeah.
Who?
Both of them.
I hear Ocheon Aje* has gone missing?!
*Busan dialect for "ahjussi"
What?
Long time ago,
didn't he work on one of those deep sea fishing boats,
and was later saved by Dong Soo?!
I thought he was in the hospital, but turns out he wasn't even hospitalized.
It's been a while since the police have been notified but...
Nobody knows where he is or what he's doing.
Jun Seok, I need a word with you.
Yes.
You... need to go to Japan for a bit.
Japan?
It looks like this side's been organized a bit,
and ever since I was in prison, I've had a plan.
And that side seems to be open to this idea.
Go learn how to run a pachinko business.
Can't you just bring them the machines and get the money?
Japanese drug dealers are confidently putting up business signs
and handing out business cards.
It's because they know how to run their businesses legally.
In a country that now participates in the Olympics,
being a gangster and just relying on your fists won't propel you into the future.
I don't know how to speak Japanese...
and I hate complicating things. I think you should find someone else.
Jun Seok...
When you said that you were going to come over to me,
you promised that you would never refuse my commands, remember?
Yes.
This isn't just your problem, but the future of our whole family.
Japan is family-line-oriented.
Without your kind of background, they won't accept us.
If so, then I will accept.
But if I'm going, then I want to learn from the bottom up.
All right. First complete your treatment, then say goodbye to your father and leave.
Yes, Hyungnim.
Individual exercise!
Who is it?
It's me, Suh Yu Jin.
It's been a while.
I begged a favor and asked to talk to you.
Have you been well?
Yes. But...
How did you get in here?
There's no reason to live anymore.
Pardon?
After having lived inside here for 10 years and finally going outside,
it had changed so much.
Money, money, money.
Everybody so concentrated on money...
All the boys who can hold their own are rotting in the can,
You came in here because of the gun too, didn't you?
No, I just...
Just what?
You committed a crime, so you are punished.
If only I were your age and had realized my dream sooner.
I want to give you one advice: travel over the world.
And when you get out,
don't give your heart to anybody who gives you money.
Regardless, the hard labor's going to rack up,
and you're just going to think of them as the money-givers.
Life isn't like a novel. There's no good boss.
The only boss who'll protect you till the end is you, and only you.
Don't ever become someone who receives money.
Become someone who gives money.
Make sure of it.
I don't know how long it's been since the first time I grew apart from the world.
At first, I made great efforts to return to the world.
But after I returned to the world, I longed for this place.
Here, only I feel my pain and sorrow, how wonderful!
But staying imprisoned here forever is not right.
After some time, this time here will be a comfort to you.
Thank you for everything.
Live well.
In a place far and near.
This is the last letter your mom left.
At her Japanese native village.
Your dad can't read it either so I kept it.
It's a letter asking her brother
to take care of things and explain things to you once you have a wife.
But after reading it, there's something that keeps coming to me.
Jin Suk did well to me and you.
There was a time when I yelled at you,
because you hung out with Sang Gon and kept getting into trouble.
Before you to go Japan, find her and send greetings from me.
I tell you this because I feel sorry for being horrible to her.
Jin Suk... no other words come to mind
except those of regret and shame.
As a friend,
as a man,
I feel that I've made a mistake I cannot fix, and my heart is heavy.
Thinking back,
that day, I feel that I was possessed by something.
No,
nowadays, I think the whole world is possessed.
Without my existence or permission, it's still going.
If only live past 19 years, if only I graduated from high school,
if only I went into college... as if my life would wait for me.
That immature wishful yearning for the past,
I'm sure it fights with any satisfaction for the present.
I'm not trying to excuse my mistakes,
but merely blaming it on the ignorance of the twenty years.
Realizing that my attempts to fight the world
call for greater pride than I have,
a stupid and cowardly boy wishes for the forgiveness
of an angel he met in his memory.
Han Dong Soo, visitor.
No. 8394, visit.
- Relation with the inmate? - Wife.
[Visiting Room]
Have you been well?
How are you?
I'm well.
It looks like you lost weight, but you look healthy.
Thanks for coming so far.
What do you mean, thanks? Of course I should come.
Is there something wrong?
No...
Just...
I sold our home.
Ahh, really?
Good job.
I told Mr. Geunbo and I wrote the specific details in a letter.
All right.
That's right, how's Father? How is he?
Unni...
decided to take care of him, for the while.
I see. Everyone else is well, right?
Don't cry.
Did you miss me?
I'll send a picture next time.
Is that okay?
Yes, send a picture.
Keep your strength, all right?
Keep your strength. Endure. So...
You too. Take care.
I... love you...
You know that, right?
What?
Take whatever's inside out.
Why?
Didn't you see the guard pass by?
What?
He hanged himself, didn't you know?
He told you why he was here, didn't he?
He's an orphan, so there's no other family except this woman,
but he received news today that she died.
Here, only I feel my pain and sorrow, how wonderful!
Seong Ae!
I'm glad you're here!
These bills are driving me crazy.
What all did you buy? Is it payday today?
You have some boxes, right?
Are you sending all of these to Dong Soo?
Yes.
Today's the end... oh?
Jun Seok, it's been a while...
Have you been well?
What a surprise, you showing up without notice.
I heard that you visited Dong Soo.
Jin Suk...
You're going to have to pick anyway,
so I have no thought nor right of telling you what to do.
I just came to tell you goodbye.
And after I return from Japan, I'm going to do things legally.
That's what I came to say.
I'm leaving for that kind of life.
I understand what you're trying to say,
- but... do you have to... - say it to me?
What's the point of thinking things under compulsion?
Every time I see Dong Soo,
even though I don't want to hear about you or ask about you,
I can't help thinking about you.
Truthfully,
if I had gone to prison and you two had gotten married already...
Then I probably would have been able to give up on you completely.
I thought that after a few years or maybe decades,
I would have been able to call my brother's wife "Sister-in-law" naturally...
At least this complication allowed me to tell you all this.
It's uncomfortable to hear all this.
It's not easy for me either.
If...
Say it. If...
If I say I love Dong Soo truly,
what are you going to do?
What a relief.
What?
That you don't love Dong Soo yet.
I never said that!
Hey, Choi Jin Suk.
What you said just a minute ago is just that.
You still aren't convinced yourself.
If something goes wrong, let Joong Ho or Yong Woong know to tell me.
Can I say something?
Whatever.
Don't be so full of yourself.
Sure. If I seemed that way, I'm sorry.
It seems that being courageous to you looks like that.
I wasn't sure I would be able to see you.
I'll come back safely. Take care.
(Year) 1988
Hey! Answer that telephone and take a message.
Yes.
Dang it, answer the telephone.
- Were you talking to me? - The 3.
Push the line button twice, and then the 3.
This is Yong Soo. Please take this news article...
He... Hello?! What am I supposed to write? Where did you say?
This stupid idiot. Hang up!
Yeah. That article that you gave me earlier, it's boring. Kill it.
This sounds game, so follow this one instead.
What is it?
It's self-introduction piece.
Really? Let's see...
It's a piece that introduces the self, right?
Yes.
Do you do it well?
Pardon?
Do you introduce yourself well usually?
I don't understand.
You've left out the most important piece of information!
How much do you drink?
I'm not sure about beer, but soju, about two bottles.
Really? Then let's go.
Pardon? Where?
You said to go drink.
What?
Wanna make a bet?
Will she fall for me, or not?
Why? Want to try?
You tell her.
Then you have to listen to my wish.
Dong Soo!
What's up?
People who work on a boat
need to have something that belongs to someone on land for them to be safe.
Write to me in here whenever you have time and let me know when you're back.
I wrote my home address and number inside.
Dong Soo!
I... have a lifelong debt to you.
Come here. I'll put it on you.
There have been only two people who have given me dreams.
One is my elementary art teacher who told me to become an artist because I drew well.
The other is you...
But I don't think I've given anything to you. I'm embarrassed.
No, you've given me the most!
What?
Hope, courage, wish, and beauty, that kind of stuff.
Jin Suk, I don't know about you...
But the times and places that I've been with you,
the things I've said,
the times you've laughed,
none of these things have been forgotten.
Everything else I've forgotten,
but anything that has to do with you, I can't erase.
Jin Suk, I have the courage to return well and safe to you,
So until then, don't date anyone else, but wait for me.
Keep your strength, all right?
Keep your strength.
Endure.
I... love you...
you know that, right?
Reformation!
It's time for him to come out, right?
Yes.
So annoying. Are they going to send him out an hour later?
Ehh... pricks.
Here's the money you earned. Check and sign here.
Don't forget how much you suffered in here and live truthfully out there.
Stupid. You've gone through a lot.
You came?
Yes, Hyungnim.
Jun Seok's still in Japan and couldn't come. But he'll be back in Korea in a few days.
I saw the letter.
Yeah, kiddo, he's well, I told you.
Really? Let me talk to him!
All right, all right. Just a sec.
Hello?
Friend! Dong Soo! Congrats!
Thanks.
Just wait a little bit. I'll be in Korea in a few days. We have to drink together.
All right, let's have a drink.
You've been through so much! Really, really, congratulations.
And you know how much stress I'm going through because I'm not there with you, right?
Yeah. I told you, I know.
Hey, you better not drink with anybody else yet! Okay?
Okay!
Dong Soo, this is the end of all trouble and the beginning of happiness, okay?
Your hyungnim will reward you well after all this trouble you've gone through for him.
Just be patient, all right?
Don't worry about me. How are you?
Of course!
Dong Soo, I have an urgent call. I'll talk to you later.
Okay. See you later.
He liked talking to you too?
Yeah.
The problem is that power has been entrusted to Jun Seok.
I hope you will follow his assessment. Yes. Yes.
We've connected to Jun Seok.
Is it Jun Seok? Yeah.
I think you're right. And listen first to the oyabun* there and then move,
*Yakuza leader
All right? Okay. Of course I know.
How's Dong Soo?
What?
Ah ah ah, okay, I got it.
I'll take of that. All right. See you.
I'll take a walk. Tell them to prepare inside.
Yes, Hyungnim.
Who went to Dong Soo's releasing?
Eun Gi went. We let you know yesterday.
Was Dong Soo's release today?
If Eun Gi, that arrogant... if he was going to go, he should've told me!
We were in the sauna together with the Chancellor the other day,
and right when I was about to soak myself in a tub...
Kim Min Jong and his grandson, right? Came in the tub too.
The Chancellor saw this and called him over,
and told us to introduce ourselves and said that it'd be good if we were friendly.
So we were in the middle of that boiling hot tub
and very hesitatingly greeted each other, didn't we?
Ah, Director Kim, you're here?
Everybody knows Director Kim, right?
And this friend here, some might know him,
and it will be a first for others.
But his connection with me goes back to Vietnam.
He was our first company commander.
He did whatever I told him to do.
I reflected about it for a long time,
and I finally decided to get him on board.
The Commander was blessed with luck and managed to make it,
but we all know it's not going to be easy.
But if one person lives well, then we all live well, isn't that right?
To Assemblyman Yang's election for the third term!
Reformation.
[Menu]
I want a Beef Donburi*. What do you want?
Beef Donburi*~Beef rice bowl
I'll get the same.
Sure, take your time to look around.
You'll be able to eat whatever you want later in the future.
Tonkatsu*... can I get that?
Tonkatsu*~Fried pork
Tonkatsu in the morning?! Sure, eat that.
May I go to... the bathroom?
No, you can't. Just go here.
If I'd said that, would you have done it?
Quit asking and just do it!
This isn't prison anymore!
Today's Sunday. What do you want to do after you meet your father?
Joong Ho.
What?
Thanks.
Give me a break.
Everyone's doing well, right?
I bet everyone was better off than you.
I was well too. Men go to the army and rot for a few years too.
When are you going to get married to Seong Ae?
After the Olympics.
Of course. Kim Joong Ho goes out with flying colors.
What else did you expect?
I read about ten thousand books in jail.
Really?
Yeah, if it's a lie, I'll go back in the can.
Really?
Yeah.
But is solitary cell really that bad?
I mean, in there, you don't run the risk of getting into fights with other guys...
When you're alone for that long...
you start to think about this and that...
And finally realize how miserable you are
and how you have no right to live in the world.
And so usually, suicides happen in solitary cell.
Is that so?
Did you know that Sang Taek is a reporter for a newspaper now?
You told me, stupid.
He's just a newbie at the moment, so he gets a lot of crap.
But his father had a lot of expectations for him
since his younger brother Kyu Taek got into law school.
But all the kids in that family do well in school, don't they?
Even though Eun Gi doesn't say anything,
I heard that he's been having some trouble because he's a little dense.
I heard that too.
Since Jun Seok is in Japan now,
Eun Gi said that he was going to be in charge
of the lower kids and made a big fuss about it.
You should see how he's been acting around these days.
By the way...
You've been writing back and forth with Jin Suk, right?
Yeah, occasionally... She's well, right?
I don't know. She and Seong Ae aren't together anymore, so I don't see her often.
She seems to have turned so stubborn and unruly.
You know how she was back in the day, right?
But nowadays, she doesn't spend a penny in their presence,
and always tries to pester old friends with the same things over and over.
Joong Ho.
What?
While I was in prison, do you know what I wanted to do most?
What?
This.
Enjoy it.
Did you move in well yesterday?
Yes, thanks to you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Yes.
How much is your goal?
Pardon?
How much do you need to make for your satisfaction?
Well, I haven't thought about it.
Think about it now.
Hmm, could I make about 2 million?
Yes, you can.
Do you have a man?
Truthfully, not really a lover, but two friends.
We write letters back and forth a few times. That's it.
Really...
but if you want to make 2 million,
then you can't have a relationship until you reach that.
Pardon?
If a man says he'll put 2 million in your bank account,
then settle down with him.
Make up your mind carefully.
After all, it's your life and your decision.
Hello, this is cashier Choi Jin Suk. How may I help you?
It's Dong Soo.
You're out!
Weren't you supposed to get out on the 11th? Where are you?
I was a good boy, so they let me out early.
Really? I thought you were supposed to be out then.
Sorry, I should've been there with Joong Ho.
No, it's fine. What for?
Just a moment, don't hang up.
Hello, would you like to make a withdrawal?
- All in 100,000 won notes, please. - Please sit a moment.
Sorry. And you're not sick?
No. I'm healthy.
That's good. If you feel sick anywhere, go to the hospital.
My dad, whenever he came back from the sea,
always had to go to the dentist because of his teeth.
I want to see you.
Just a sec.
A customer.
You seem busy.
Yeah, it's not usually a busy time.
Can I wait for you at closing time in front of the bank?
Oh dear. Dong Soo, tonight I have night-duty.
Then I'll see you when you get off.
But headquarters are doing an inspection tonight,
so I don't know when I'll get off.
Tomorrow? How's tomorrow?
Truthfully, I don't know tomorrow's schedule.
Then, here, I have a pager. Call me there.
Really? You're faster than I am, a pager! What's the number?
- 015-280... - Cashier Choi!
...8924.
Yes, Manager. Manager's looking for me.
- I'll check my schedule and call you. - Cashier Choi!
Yes, Manager, just a moment!
Sorry, Dong Soo. Looks like I need to hang up.
Sure, work well.
Think about what you want to eat, okay?
All right.
I don't know how you think about my job...
But because of those people on their way to their maker,
I was able to feed and clothe my family, and raise you.
I can tell how a person lived just by looking at his face
before I put him in the cremator.
If his face is all wrinkled up and it's hard to put them in the cremator,
then I know that his kids have been fighting
about his inheritance and have been horrible.
But if his kids are set up well and don't fight,
then even a dead person's face can have a smile on it.
Truthfully, I wish you'd stop the work you do with Jun Seok.
You might feel bad about that,
but that's how the world goes round.
It may sound a bit rash, but I don't care if you don't make sacrificial rites for me.
In exchange, I don't care what you do,
but I just wish you'd do something else with your life.
Big Brother wants to see you, Hyungnim.

You can start going around saying...
you'll get right back to work all you want,
but it's not going to make any difference.
Don't you know about Jin Suk and Jun Seok?!
Dong Soo, Boss wants to see you.
Snap out of it. Nobody thinks about you the same way Jun Seok thinks about you.
Are you going to play your friend's lackey for the rest of your days?
What do you want to say?
Just that it'd be nice if I could see you more.
Dong Soo, this...
is the second time this happens, right?!
I'll be truthful to you.
Until the day I die, I'll...
No. I'd rather not know.
