Rooftop Prince
Episode 3
Tae Moo! Our Tae Yong has come! Tae Yong has come!
Tae Yong has come.
So, Tae Yong, tell us.
Where have you been, hmm?
See here, Grandma.
You've mistaken me for someone else.
What you're saying makes no sense.
Tae Yong, what are you saying?
How could your grandmother mistake you for someone else?
You punk, look at me clearly. I'm your grandmother! Hmm?
What in the world has happened to you that you would act like this?
You found your way home fine, so why are you acting like this?
Tae Yong, look at my face. I'm your grandmother. Hmm?
Take a good look; look at my face.
Uh huh!
What is the meaning of this?
How can an old woman I've seen for the first time be my grandmother?!
Tae Yong, why are you acting like this?!
I'm your grandmother, you punk!
Snap out of it! Snap out of it!
Keep away from me!
Who the hell are you?
How dare you, ruffian?!!
Who are you?!!
What? You came to do the moving?
Why are you doing that? Why would you come?
I heard you asked Mother to take care of it.
I came because Mother called and asked for my help.
Mother made a mistake.
We're fine here, so don't make a ruckus and just take your truck and go.
I didn't come here because I wanted to; I came because I was asked.
But you're telling me to leave as soon as I arrive?
Just go now!
Guard!!
Your Highness!
Your Highness, Your Highness...
Now what? Dang it.
Ruffian!
Cease!!
Escort His Highness.
Your Highness.
Oh no!
Um um...
Oh geez.
What the hell is this?!
You don't work, instead you get into a fight!
The whole house was in shatters.
What are we going to do if they ask us to pay for it?
What's the meaning of this, the meaning of that, knave, ruffian, impudence!
How can a fight not start when you talk like that?
I told you never to talk like that to other people!
Impudence! Stop with your impudent babbling!
Have you not heard a word I just said?!
Are you deaf?! I told you not to talk like that!!
Babble, babble, babble, babble!
I said be quiet!
Do I have to tear off your beak to shut your mouth?!
Here! Go ahead and tear it off, tear it off! Tear it off!
What are you doing?
Move that mouth away!
Listen carefully.
I'm telling you clearly.
From now on, if you go around talking down to people
and saying "Ruffian! Impudence!" or anything like that, then I won't let it go!
Really!
Your Highness.
The light is green, why aren't you going?!
Really! Tae Moo, are you in your right mind or not?!
How can you start a fight with Tae Yong after he's found his way home?
That man is not Tae Yong...
How can he not be Tae Yong? Anyone can see he's Tae Yong!
He even found his way home!
While he was missing, something must have happened to him.
That's why he can't remember. Can't you figure that out?
We should have talked to him gently.
What were you thinking? Fighting?
Tae Moo, you've kicked out Tae Yong!
Grandmother, that man is not Tae...
Immediately go and find me Tae Yong.
Bring him back at once!
No. Assistant Hong.
Assistant Hong arranged the movers.
Contact Assistant Hong, tell her to come immediately!
Yes.
Why is the Chairman looking for me?
Did something happen inside?
You'll know if you go inside.
I'm going now.
Assistant Hong, go and find me that young man that was here earlier.
Go find him.
Chairman, who are you referring to?
Didn't you arrange for the movers?
Yes, that's right.
One of the movers was a young man who came in before the others.
Go find him and bring him to me.
Bring him to me at once.
What are you doing? Why aren't you going?
Yes, Chairman.
Oh. Woo Yong Sul, come here.
Wow, this is like new, brand new.
Nice. The shoulders fit perfectly too.
Broad and impressive. Put this on, eh?
- I shall, then. - Now then...
Song Man Bo, come here please.
What do you think of this? Do you like it? Hmm?
As it is said, live cleanly and simply.
I'm fine with what I am currently wearing.
Since the four of you are going around dressed alike,
people seem to be looking at you strangely.
I've heard it said we look like a traffic light.
Wear these tracksuits at home, and wear these clothes out, okay?
Wow. It suits you well.
Your good looks completely come to life.
All right then, I shall.
For Do Chi San...
This one for me.
You like this one?
I want to put it on at once.
Aigoo! Wait, wait!
You can't just change at a place like this.
Later, somewhere else huh?
Hey, man of high rank.
You're not going to pick out some clothes?
Go ahead and pick something.
Mmm, then why don't you find something that would fit...
Though, I suppose it wouldn't matter if one of you wore a tracksuit.
Now then, let's go to the next neighborhood.
We'll pick some pants and some shoes, hmm?
Follow me, follow me.
I guess the clothes are free here?
But Attendant Do, don't you think this is a little too sparkly?
What's bad about being sparkly?
But anyway, don't you think living here is nicer than living in Joseon?
Small.
This is big.
Let me see your foot.
Ah, that fits, that fits.
Your Highness!
Your Highness.
I found King's shoes!
Wow.
Wow!
Wow, Attendant Do.
- Ah, excuse me! - Ah, I'm sorry!
Just a younger friend I know.
She does deliveries for a produce shop.
Director, I'm here.
Ah, Manager Hwang.
I have a personal favor to ask of you.
Ah, personal?
It's an honor, Director.
Do you happen to know of the Yujin shopping district in Daerim-dong?
Exit #3 at Daerim station,
100 meters straight ahead, make a right at the pharmacy.
There's a place called Fresh Produce in that shopping district.
There's a young lady that delivers their produce.
I'd like to locate that young lady.
Fresh Produce. Delivery lady.
And, if you could keep it confidential...
Ah? Confidential.
I will move surreptitiously.
If you go inside, there should be a restroom.
Change and come out.
[Restroom -> ]
Tut, tut,
I do not understand why she wants us to get dressed in an outhouse.
Where is the outhouse anyway?
Right Guard,
On its own - "auto"; will or mind - "matic"; auto-matic door.
A door that opens and closes on its own. We learned that yesterday.
Your Highness.
With all sides blocked off,
this is a good place to change our clothing, I think.
Yes, this is good.
Let's enter.
Your Highness, your subjects shall turn, so that you may dress in comfort.
Yes, all right.
Then let us make use of these articles of clothing.
Your Highness!
Where did those women come from?!
Your Highness, I think we should hurry before the door opens again.
Right, right.
Awesome!
Perverts!
Are they nuts?!
Hey! Hey you...
Perverts!
Excuse me.
Have you, perhaps, seen four strange men in this building?
Where have you been up to now?!
Stop the car. Stop the car!
Now what?
Didn't I just tell you to stop the car?!
Didn't we just pass the gates of *Changdeokgung? (*Changdeok Palace)
If we were going to go by the palace, why didn't you tell us earlier?
Will you not stop the car immediately?!
I'm really, really busy right now.
How is it you have absolutely no sense?
Out of the blue, I'm supposed to stop at Changdeokgung?
No! No way.
Is there really no way?
My answer...
Aren't you going to work?
Hurry up and clean.
If you work really hard,
I'll take you to Changdeokgung.
Is that the truth?
Not if you work half-heartedly, but if you work really hard, I'll take you.
Don't worry, I'll work very hard!
What needs to be done where?
Chi San, give me that pole.
It's all right. Give it to me.
How do I clean?
Your Highness. Your Highness.
- Your Highness. Your Highness. - What are you doing? Take his stick, quickly.
Your Highness, please give that to me.
I'll work even harder.
Your Highness, why do you punish us so?
Your Highness, your subjects have been in the wrong.
We shall not dally, but work hard.
It's not like that, I tell you.
I said I shall work hard. Why act this way?
Yong Sul, move your feet.
Why are you all just standing there? Clean everything until it sparkles!
Yes, Your Highness.
Hey! Is it my fault my phone has bad reception?
My phone is so old and no one's bought me a new one,
when my birthday's the day after tomorrow.
So is it my fault my phone wouldn't connect?
I haven't asked for a favor in a long time, and you go and ask Bak Ha?
Why? Did Bak Ha make a mistake with the moving?
Never mind. Let's talk later.
Where can I find Bak Ha right now?
Why don't you call Bak Ha with your phone with good reception.
She won't answer my calls right now. So irritating, really.
Where is she right now?
Down.
Quickly, quickly.
Down there, down there.
Your Highness! What has happened?
There is blood flowing from His Highness!
We must stop the blood. Elevate your hand. High.
- That's it. - You must raise it higher!
There, higher, straight up!
- Oh! It's still... Oh, it's still bleeding! - More, more, more...
Put pressure where it's bleeding. I'll run over to the pharmacy.
- Welcome. - Hello.
- Please give me a single band-aid please. - Ah, just a moment please.
Over there, on the first floor, I'm opening a new produce shop.
I hope to have your support.
Excuse me...
Ah, we meet again here.
What are you doing in this neighborhood?
I work here.
I'm truly sorry about earlier.
Excuse me?
Compensation for damages?
Those movers broke everything in the house, didn't they?
Of course we should pay for damages. All those things must be expensive.
Ah, I have no idea how much the compensation must be.
That's not what I'm saying.
I wanted to tell you we won't demand compensation.
Ah.
So, we don't have to pay for damages?
No, I will take care of it.
But, the man wearing the red tracksuit...
is he a mover you called?
No, he works for me.
He came into the house by himself first.
Is it a house that he might know?
Ay, he doesn't even know if this is *Hanyang (*ancient name for Seoul) or Seoul...
Of course he's never been to the house before.
I told him to go on in and wait for us.
I see.
But you may get a call demanding compensation.
Then, you just tell them you don't know where that man is.
Tell them I don't know where he is?
The compensation will likely be very expensive.
So, just tell them you don't know where he is or how to contact him.
That's the only way I will be able to take care of it.
Ah, and another thing.
This is a VIP reward gift certificate.
It's for our company clients and promotions, so please use it.
Oh no, I couldn't. I'm already sorry as it is. I really couldn't.
It's all right. Please take it.
Why don't you pick up my calls?
Did you call?
I think I left my phone in the truck.
Where is that guy, the one in the red tracksuit?
I don't know.
You brought him. Why don't you know?
Give me his number.
I don't know his number; I don't know his name;
and I don't know where he lives.
I just used him as a temp worker today, so I don't even know where he is now.
Anyhow, I'm really busy today, so I'll get going.
Ah, for Mother's birthday the day after tomorrow, I told her the time and place.
I'll go now.
There. It won't hurt now.
This is a universal cure-all out of Hyundae Medical School.
Once you put it on, it completely heals.
Uh? It already stopped hurting, right? Right, right?
It hurts.
Did you get in trouble with the Chairman?
Is it my fault I don't know his contact information?
I don't know it so what am I supposed to do?
That man wearing the red tracksuit, did he really look just like your cousin?
You know how she said she saw someone that looked like him in the hospital,
and then later said she must have made a mistake.
It's probably the same this time,
so try to be understanding of my grandmother.
It's all fine with me.
As long as good things happen for you, I'm happy.
Take some time off this summer and let's go to England together.
Why England?
What do you mean why?
To go to London University where you mother works, so we can pay respects.
Ah, I was wondering.
We can just do that when she comes back into Korea.
Still, the proper thing is to go and see her.
We're going to London this summer, okay?
Now then, read with me.
Ga, gya, geo, gyeo.
Don't fall asleep!
Go, gyo, gu, gyu, geu, gi.
Louder. Once more.
Ga, gya, geo, gyeo, go, gyo, gu, gyu...
Ga, gya, geo, gyeo, go, gyo, gu, gyu, geu, gi.
Nicely done. Next.
Na, nya, neo, nyeo.
No, nyo, nu, nyu, neu, ni.
I brought you since I promised.
But, since your 3 subjects are waiting at home, let's make it quick and leave.
Here. Drink this.
The shop is quite far from here.
What is this?
Coffee.
Why is it so bitter?
Aigoo, it's so bitter, it's bringing tears to my eyes.
Take it back.
Yes, Mr. Hwang. It's Bak Ha.
Really?
Go now?
Yes, I'll go right away.
Yes, thank you. Okay.
Passengers, this is an announcement.
- The 11:35 train to Busan will be departing... - Hurry, hurry!
- We ask that passengers board the train. - Hurry up!
Ah! I said we're late. What are you doing?!
Hurry.
Geez, I can't even send you home alone. Hurry up!
Really! We almost missed it!
Now then, repeat after me.
Did you...?
Please give me...?
Is that it?
It is that.
Be quiet.
Are you babbling again?
Aigoo, it's because you talk like that you get into fights.
But at the palace earlier...
Is it okay to ask, I wonder?
Why were you crying?
You saw?
Your eyes weren't just teary, the tears were streaming. How could I not see?
The coffee brought tears to my eyes.
I mean before you drank the coffee.
You must not mention this to my men.
You must not mention I let my tears show!
When you talk to other people, you see,
you have to speak politely.
Try it.
Hello.
You do it well, after all!
There. You see that lady coming, right?
"Please give me a boiled egg and a soda, please. " Say that.
I don't want to.
Do you dare try to teach me?
Shall I tell your men you cried?
See here!
Give me a boiled egg...
and a soda, please.
How much is it?
Mr. Hwang, this is Bak Ha.
I'm at Jeonui Station right now.
How do I get there from here?
The amusement park?
[Picture Land]
Looking at the amusement park entrance, go left.
We just have to go up this road a little.
It would be nice if you wiped off that grumpy expression now.
Why have you dragged me out this far?
I didn't drag you out; you tagged along.
If you don't want to be here, you can always head back to Seoul.
Ah, you don't know your way, do you?
One of these days, I'm going to seal that mouth of yours.
Hello!
I've been referred here by Mr. Hwang of the farm produce market.
Aigoo, Mr. Hwang sent a young lady.
He asked over and over again to charge you half price.
Ah. I'm opening up a produce shop and planning a half price event.
In any case, we just happened to get a big supply.
It's your lucky day.
Thank you. Then the strawberries you're giving me, are they these here?
Oh no.
The ones for you are somewhere else.
But did you come by yourself?
Excuse me?
Have you gone mad?!
Are you telling me to pick all these strawberries?!
Have you already contracted dementia?!
Are blathering nonsense because you've gone mad?!
Now, now, now!
Sir, couldn't we borrow some of your workers?
We couldn't pick all these strawberries even if we picked all night.
If you hire workers, do you think you could get them at half cost?
Aigoo, didn't Mr. Hwang tell you?
I'm certain I told him that you needed to bring a lot of people.
Oh, sir!
Just pick as much as the two of you can.
I can't provide anything more.
But...
Let me tell you clearly.
I will not be picking strawberries, so be aware of that!
And, let me tell you clearly.
If you don't pick strawberries, I'm going to kick you out of my rooftop room!
Aigoo, my back.
I ask him to help me, and he leaves after picking ten?
He's so utterly hateful.
When we get back to Seoul, he's out, no matter what.
[Dragon Peak Village Elderly Pavilion]
No, it was not me.
T- t-truly.
I did not lay a hand on it.
It fell by itself and broke.
I can't hold back.
Today, I'm going to remodel that piece of work.
Why would I remodel that guy?
This is the end; I'm going to kick him out.
- Your Highness. - Your Highness.
Your Highness, you are a master calligrapher!
- Your Highness. - A master calligrapher!
It's an honor.
Aigoo, a master calligrapher.
Words can't even describe the mastery.
If the village headman says he's a master calligrapher, then he really is.
Of course, his late father was a calligrapher,
so he knows what he sees.
Yes, the broken sign was written by his late father,
and he hasn't been able to throw it away; he just keeps it hanging.
Oh my, look at how his mouth hangs open.
[Dragon Peak Village Elderly Pavilion]
So this is a popsicle?
It's sweet and refreshing.
It tastes good.
Here.
You are quite lowly.
Yeah! I'm lowly.
I know I'm lowly and I work with my hands and feet to make a living.
Are you so important that you won't even lift a finger?
An important man such as yourself lives off a lowly wretch like me?
A person should have some conscience.
Move, you're getting in my way!
As soon as we get to Seoul, move out no matter what!
We're here. We're here.
Hurry, hurry. Pick them some strawberries.
This gentleman is a master calligrapher, he is.
This is a calligrapher's hand. Should it be picking strawberries?
We should pick them for him. Thank you.
Thank Mr. Hwang for us too, please.
Aigoo. Hurry, hurry now.
Hurry, hurry...
This too is sweet and soft. It tastes good.
Only because we packaged the strawberries so quickly
and have to wait for the train...
we're here at the amusement park, killing time.
Didn't you already say that before?
Why do you keep repeating yourself?
I just want to make sure you understand clearly.
Uh?
It's a stuffed radish doll. Wow.
Wow. I should hang this radish doll in my shop.
Hold this for a minute.
I guess it's like fishing.
I'm going to try this time.
"Please let me try it once. " Politely.
Please let me try it once.
Just a little.
Stop!
Ah! So close!
Stop!
Yeah!! We got him!!
What would you have done without me?
You would have been suffering,
still picking strawberries about now.
And if I had not gone fishing,
do you think you could have laid a finger on that radish doll?
Ohhh!
Yet, what were you babbling with that mouth of yours?
Did you accuse me of being an important man living off a lowly wretch?
Did you say a person should have some conscience?
I'm going to shut that mouth of yours!
All right, all right.
But, don't you want to try something sweet?
Yes, that sounds good.
Where is something sweet?
There. You see that, right? The round floating things.
Are those things you eat?
You don't eat the outer part.
You drink the air inside; it's very sweet.
Is that so?
Then let's have a taste.
So, you want a taste, eh?
That's right. Go and buy some.
Drink it up in one long gulp. It's very sweet.
Ah. Ah.
Go on...
It's not sw-
Why is my voice...
Impudence!!
What have you...
What...
How...
This is precisely how one shuts someone's mouth. Hmm?
Aigoo, it's already time for the train.
Yes!
Bak Ha asked us to feed you a meal,
so we're paying.
Please eat.
How long have you oppas been in Korea?
Not very long.
It's obvious.
What country did you come from?
If I said we were from Joseon, would you believe us?
You wouldn't know even if we told you.
Oh, Bak Ha's calling.
Hi, Bak Ha.
Yes, we're eating right now.
Oh yeah? Do you want me to put them on?
Your Highness!!
Why are you in there, Your Majesty?
Hello, welcome to our Grand Opening event.
- I bet they'll give out lots of little gifts. - I'm sure.
Mother, pick something.
Hey, hey, Bak Ha.
Do you even know how much these cost?
Wow, they're really expensive.
Let's go before anyone comes.
Ta-da.
If we have this, it's free.
So if there's anything you want, just pick it out.
Oh my! When did you get this prepared?
Ohh! And today is my birthday!
Just a minute. Then...
These sets here were packaged for the Grand Opening,
and the response has been really good.
And the clientele age group?
We're targeting the late twenties.
They're made with natural ingredients,
so they're supposedly good for sensitive skin.
People I know use it,
and the response has been great.
I bet they'll give out lots of gifts over there. Let's go.
Isn't that your younger friend over there?
Just a moment.
We meet again.
Oh my.
Hello.
I came to use the gift certificate you gave me.
This is rather awkward.
Did you come alone?
No, I came with my mother.
Director Yong.
Then, I hope you find something nice.
Ah, yes. Thank you.
Where did she go?
Hey, hey!
Aigoo, let go! Ow, my wrist!
What's going on? Why drag a person out like a dog?
Oh please be quiet! Come quickly.
Where are we going? What about Bak Ha?
Let's just go to the restaurant first.
Why does Bak Ha keep hanging around where I can see her?
Isn't she going back to the U.S.?
If she was adopted in the U.S., she should live there. Why crawl back here?
Wasn't she going to go back last year?
Hey, think about it.
Bak Ha's opening up a shop. Where do you think she's going to go?
She's here to stay.
Mom, I have a favor.
You're really going to have to help me on this one.
Mother, Happy Birthday.
Oh, thanks.
It's what I picked earlier, right?
Yes. I put in a few additional small items too.
Aigoo, nice. Thanks.
Aigoo, Bak Ha, I'm sure you don't have money, setting up your shop and all.
Why'd you go and make reservations at a traditional Korean restaurant like this?
How on earth did you save up the 65 million won security deposit for the shop?
It's all debt from here and there.
I barely scraped up the remaining balance and got a check cut for it today.
I'm going to the restroom.
Ah, no, don't.
Actually, I really have to go.
Bak Ha, will you help me?
My foot still hurts.
Yes, Mother.
Hey, Bak Ha.
Actually, I had something to say, which is why Se Na got up earlier.
But I really had to use the restroom, so we came out.
What is it you wanted to say?
The man in the red tracksuit?
Is there a man like that?
Ah, yes.
She says they are absolutely not demanding damage compensation.
The chairman at Se Na's company seems to be giving her a really hard time,
demanding she bring in the man in the red tracksuit.
Hey, Se Na!
Are you going somewhere?
Something urgent came up at work.
I have to go.
That little...
Um, anyhow, Bak Ha, couldn't you do Se Na this favor, for me? Hmm?
[various jokes]
Unni, I'm going to speak 3 languages at once.
Turn (Korean) the handle (English used in Korea) fully (Japanese used in Korea).
Aigoo, Auntie (as in grandson's auntie), my head hurts!
I know! That's why I'm trying to give you laughter therapy.
Unni, do you know the order in which singer Seol Woon Do changes clothes?
You don't know, do you? Huh?
*Shanghai, Shanghai, Shanghai.
*Shanghai, Shanghai, Shanghai. Shang-
(*Her own silly changing dance to famous song "Love's Twist")
Yes, hello?
Oh, yeah.
Huh? Really?
Yeah, okay.
Unni.
The young man in the red tracksuit has been found.
What?
Is that true?
Tae Moo.
Father, did Grandmother just arrive at the office?
That's right, Tae Moo.
They found the guy that looks like Tae Yong and he's on his way here.
Excuse me?
Assistant Hong is going to bring him to the Chairman's office.
So, I'm on my way to her office right now.
Tae Moo...
Assistant Hong.
Director, what is it?
That man is coming here?
Yes, but not in a red tracksuit. This time in all denim.
I'm going to meet him here and then take him to the Chairman's office.
I'll take the man.
Why don't you go check how the fashion show preparations are going?
Father is curious.
The Executive Director?
Then, see him up to the Chairman. I'll go and meet with the show committee.
If you go in there, a woman will be waiting for you.
Follow that woman and see the grandmother Chairman.
All right.
You'll have to keep your promise.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry for asking you to do this.
Are you waiting for me?
Yes. Let's step out first.
I heard that Grandmother was waiting in here.
You and I need to talk about something first.
Oh my gosh!
You really do look like him.
Exactly like him.
It's understandable that Unni could make such a mistake.
Ah. Hello, I'm the boys' grand-aunt (grandfather's side).
Let's go up. Come, Tae Moo.
What are you doing? Grandmother is waiting. Hurry, let's go.
Let's go up.
This way. Come in.
Unni, he's here, he's here. He really looks like him!
Welcome.
Please sit down.
Mother, he really looks just like him!
Yong Tae Yong. Wow, he could really fool a person!
Shall I bring in coffee, Chairman?
I don't drink coffee!
I don't drink coffee. (more politely)
Please give me something sweet.
What is your name?
It is Lee Gak.
What is it that you do?
I'm looking for a person.
Who are you looking for?
The Crown Princess.
Your Highness.
Do you really not know me?
You don't recall seeing me at all?
I told you last time that I did not know you.
So, right now, you are looking for someone.
What were you doing two years ago and where?
Two years ago, you say.
Joseon...
If they ask you anything, don't mention anything about Joseon or your subjects.
They won't understand. Do you understand?
I said I understood.
But, if you do well, tonight, I'll make *omurice (*fried rice omelet).
You just made a promise.
How can one remember what happened two years ago?
I don't remember.
What is this called?
That is called *yo-gu-reute. (*very common yogurt flavored drink)
Yogureute.
I'm saying this because I feel bad for you.
I am not the person you are looking for,
so please do not put yourself through this unnecessary hardship.
Young man,
it doesn't matter to me who you are,
or who you aren't.
Couldn't you
just be...
become my grandson, Tae Yong?
Unni.
This wasn't why you asked to meet this young man.
Your mind should be more at ease now.
Mother.
Don't worry too much about Grandmother.
She's just feeling very weak since she lost her grandson.
I understand.
Thank you.
Here. For your time.
I don't need that.
This is enough.
All right, then.
Goodbye.
Crown Princess.
Crown Princess!
Crown Princess.
Crown Princess!
Let go of me!
Look at me, Crown Princess!
Crown Princess!
If you've eaten, you should earn it!
- Crown Princess! Crown Princess! - Hurry up, let's go!
Let go of me!
Crown Princess! Crown Princess!
The check is gone.
The 40 million won check,
I'm sure I put it in this envelope.
Let's cancel the contract.
Look at me, Crown Princess.
It's me!!
I'll put up the money you need.
Use the money I give you
to clean up your business here and go back to the U.S.
I'm going to leave the rooftop room.
I will never forget.
When exactly are you going to repay it?!
Aren't you lying?!
