12 YEARS PROMISE
EPISODE 8
Jun-su.
I looked for you everywhere.
Ju Da-hae.
I was so worried about you.
-I'm home. -Hi.
-Have you just finished? -Yes.
-You must be tired, my girl. -Yes, Grandma.
-What about Hun? -He's home. Sleeping probably.
What are you doing up so late?
It was crazy in here.
He came in and bought practically everything.
We had to prepare for tomorrow.
Who is he?
Mr. Heo. The CEO I told you about before.
-Do you know what a franchise is? -Yes. Like Pizza Hut.
My kids are so smart.
That's what the CEO does for business and he loves our dumplings.
-Really? -Yes.
At this rate, I'm going to make a fortune.
What's next?
We should stop handing out free dumplings.
That widow's dumplings sure are tasty though.
Why do you hate calling her a widow? Geez...
Keep your eyes on the road.
Pick out the ones up to their early 40's.
See! Da-hae is home safe.
-Are you okay? -No.
Of course, you are not. You two talk.
Let's go. It's late. We're going now.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you, Son.
Hey, he's my son not yours.
Yes, your precious son.
Thank you, ma'am.
No, thank you for coming home safe.
See you at school.
Son, you did a good job.
-Be nice to Da-hae. -Okay.
But don't neglect your studies.
-I'll study hard, Mom. -My dear son...
-You did well today. -Sure.
Da-hae...
-Good to see you back. -We're home.
Is Da-hae okay?
She's fine.
Good work. You too, Honey.
I'm so tired. What a long night.
Go up to your rooms and sleep.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Good night. -Yes, good night.
-What about Da-hae's dad? -He didn't come home.
He must be too ashamed and he should be.
-Oh, I'm so tired. -Of course.
-Your phone was at Jun-su's house. -So?
We came to give you your phone.
-But you were alone when you came. -He left.
-Why? -I don't know.
-Come on, Mu-cheol! -Ask Jun-su.
Hey, Mu-cheol.
Did you find Da-hae?
Yup.
What happened?
You know what she's like. She wouldn't want me to talk about it.
Fine, so it's a secret between you two.
I've got to go, buddy.
Did Guk get home okay?
Did they find Da-hae? What happened to her?
You know what she's like. She hates people talking behind her back.
So you're keeping it a secret from me?
Did Jun-su get home okay?
What are you two doing?
Why do you keep me in between?
Stop asking me and talk to each other.
Mu-cheol.
I'm sleepy. I'm going to go.
So you're not answering my phone calls?
-Mom. -Da-hae.
-Why are you up so early? -Couldn't you sleep?
Couldn't you sleep either?
Come over here.
Try and get some sleep. You have to go to school.
Is Dad not answering the phone?
No.
What are we going to do now?
Don't worry. That Ju Cheol-su, he's done nothing for us.
I've been taking care of you anyway. Nothing's going to change.
Are you going to divorce him?
Of course. I can't live with him after this.
I'm so dumbfounded that I can't even cry.
On the World Cup match
their faces were on live national TV.
The judge will understand why I want to leave him.
Will it be that easy?
What's there not to be? I'll make it easy.
-Good morning? -Yes.
-Did you sleep well, Mr. Seoul guy? -Yes.
Sit down. Let's eat breakfast together.
Okay.
Ham-cho, please get another bowl of rice.
-This was for Ham-cho. You have it first. -Thank you.
The broth is so soothing.
It's a hangover soup made with seafood.
Ham-cho must've made it for your hangover.
Sir, do you remember what happened last night?
What?
Well...
The house that you go to when you get drunk...
Do you know why you go there?
Maybe if we knew the reason...
It's all because of my sorrow. You don't need to worry about such things.
Please help yourself.
-Go on. -Okay.
Thank you.
Guk. Jang Guk, get up!
Why are you lying around like a sick bird?
Guk!
Did you go to bed late last night?
Let me sleep just five more minutes.
-Do you know what time it is? -What time is it?
-It's almost eight o'clock. -What?
You're late for school, girl!
-Why didn't the alarm go off? -Hurry up!
You're driving me nuts! Why didn't you wake me up, Mom?
I'm a high school senior!
How can you not take care of simple things like this?
Get ready instead of complaining! You could be ready by now.
Oh my, that girl.
-School uniform. -What?
-Uniform. -Aren't you going to wash your face?
That's the least of my worries.
What about brushing your teeth?
Should I get her some herbal medicine or somethings?
Maybe some red ginseng?
These students showed great improvement in the last trial exam.
A round of applause!
Your grades aren't everything in life,
but to a high school senior, they are. Right?
-Right! -Good. That's all.
Thank you, Ma'am.
-Look who's here. -Ma'am.
-What are you doing here? -Sorry.
You get into fights and you come late.
Here. It's your trial exam grades.
Okay.
Damn, girl. You're pretty good.
Still no excuse for coming late. Don't make it a habit.
Yes, ma'am.
-Hey, what are you doing? -Guk! You came in first.
-Hey, give it here! -Language part is 114.
-Don't! -Math is 75?
-Give it here! -Let's see. Social studies is 68.
Give it back! Give it back!
-You're tickling me. -Give it back!
Hey, hey, hey! What do you think you're doing?
-What's going on? -Guk came in first.
What? Jang Guk came in first?
Hey, her bag. Here she comes! The bag!
Catch!
-Jang Guk! -Park Mu-cheol!
-It's here! -Pass it to me!
-You two! -Here! Here!
-Give it back! -Here!
Sit down.
Why, you rascals! That's much better now.
Stop laughing.
-Wow, Guk! You came in first. -Stop looking.
Come in. How have you been?
-Hello. How are you? -Good.
-Hello. -Hello.
The more I see this house, the more I like it.
I wish I could live in a house like this when I'm older.
That's all you talk about every time you're here.
We have a bigger issue.
That's right. What going on with Yeong-hui's husband?
I invited Yeong-hui, too.
I got so many calls last night.
They asked me if it's Yeong-hui's husband on TV.
My husband recognized Mr. Ju, too.
Ju Cheol-su! Da-hae found out everything!
She even went to the hotel to meet Hamy but Jun-su brought her home.
Your daughter is a senior in high school.
What are you going to do? What?
You're not even answering the phone, huh? I barely sent her to school.
She is on the verge of a nervous breakdown all because of you!
How can you call yourself a father?
How can you embarrass us like this?
To play the message again, press one...
No, my life is a living hell.
I'm going crazy.
It's good. Thank you.
-I'll get going, then. -Okay.
-Goodbye. -Bye.
-Have a good time, ladies. -Bye.
There you are.
You must be so upset.
I saw it on TV last night.
It must be so hard for you. I don't know what to say.
Your friends are all inside. You should go in.
Bye, then.
Yeong-hui, how did you get in?
Yeong-hui.
You should've come earlier and joined us for lunch.
Yeong-hui.
I wish I were dead. The whole neighborhood knows.
Even your housemaid knew.
How am I supposed to live here?
Divorce him and move.
-Don't talk so conclusively. -Right. It's not an easy problem.
Everyone in Korea knows.
What do you mean everyone in Korea? He's not a public figure.
If he had been one, he would've been exiled.
That's why we're here to discuss it. Sit down, Yeong-hui.
Here.
It already happened, so there's no point in denying it.
Talking about it without you felt like talking behind your back.
So that's why we're here to talk about it.
Okay.
What are you going to do?
What should I do?
Nothing's changed. It's not like you didn't know about her.
Of course it's changed. Didn't you hear the presenter's comments?
What did he say? A couple from Vietnam?
That's just his opinion.
If that was his opinion, that's the opinion of everyone.
His wife is here looking like a zombie.
Everyone saw him cheering at the stadium with a young girl.
How can things not have changed?
What I mean is, she already knew about the girl.
Even if she knew, she couldn't keep an eye on them all day.
Imagining it and seeing it with my own two eyes is different.
It's not like she caught them at a hotel.
Just because it wasn't a hotel, do you think they didn't go to one?
The whole nation seeing them on TV is a totally different thing.
This is what matters.
Regardless of everything else, everyone saw them.
Why did he hide behind the national flag? As if people can't see.
-Suk... -Oh my!
I was so angry when I saw them.
If he were my husband, I would've just...
I bet he doesn't answer your calls. Why would he?
He's probably with that Vietnamese hussy.
-You don't know that. -It's obvious.
Can't you tell by just by looking?
-Stop it. -Stop what?
You think so too. What's the point of being here if we're not honest?
Yeong-hui has to know the truth, so that she can decide what to do.
It's not because she doesn't know. We want to make a wise decision.
Wise my butt! There's no difference.
As if being wise is going to matter!
Everything's a mess. It's all over now.
You should go. You're driving me nuts!
Real friends tell the truth.
Yeong-hui has no parents or siblings.
It's just her and her daughter in the world.
She can't pour out her heart to her child.
Who is going to tell her the truth if not us?
How can she let it go? The whole world knows.
Stop talking about the whole world. Her husband isn't a celebrity.
From elementary school to college. They're connected through school and work.
Also their families.
Connections through school and work really matter in Korea.
-Gossips last three days at most. -What about TV?
Whenever they talk about the World Cup semifinals, the whole country...
No, the whole world will see them.
Ju Cheol-su and that Vietnamese hussy!
Don't watch it.
No wonder he was hiding his face with the flag.
Not watching it is like finding a needle in the haystack.
-Hey. -Yeong-hui, what's wrong?
Yeong-hui? Oh, my goodness!
-Yeong-hui! -Yeong-hui!
-Hey! Hey! -Yeong-hui!
Get up! Yeong-hui! Hey! What do we do?
Move over!
-Are you okay? -Hey!
-Yeong-hui. -Try and get up.
Are you okay?
Can you get up? Come one.
-There you are. -Sit down.
Have you been home?
No.
I wouldn't too, if I were you.
What are you going to do?
I don't know. What should I do?
I wish I knew.
An average guy wouldn't have to go through or even think...
I don't even want to think about it.
What kind of a crazy affair is this?
But lots of guys have affairs.
You, for instance, before you went to the army
and at the bar just a while ago!
What would you like?
-The usual. -Sure.
-Are you trying to drag me down with you? -I mean
I'm not the only one. So why me?
You're the only one that got caught. In front of the whole country!
Stop talking about the whole country!
They leave the other jerks alone. So why pick on me?
Why didn't you end it with her?
-I tried. -Why in the world...
What gave you the guts to go to the World Cup?
She wanted to see the World Cup so I brought her to Korea.
I know Hamy did her best for the company and me.
I was grateful so...
I was planning to break it off with her right after the World Cup.
The problem with you is
the you're so indecisive. That's why your life is such a mess.
What's wrong with that camera man?
Why did he have to mess up my life like this?
Why would a man go see the World Cup with his wife?
It's invasion of privacy and publicity rights.
I will find out who he is and see how well he lives his life.
It's all your fault. Why get angry at someone else?
How is your wife?
-I can't even answer her calls. -Isn't that going to anger her more?
By the way, things are okay at work, right?
-I don't know. -Come on.
I'll go anywhere and do anything. I must keep my job.
Well... I'll just be honest.
It's been crazy all morning.
Everyone at work knows you, Ju Cheol-su.
I got summoned by the Vice President thanks to you.
Oh, no! This is all so crazy!
TV exposure is really amazing. It's totally viral!
It is, isn't it?
A friend of mine called me after ten years.
-You're famous. -Don't say that.
I want to die, you know that?
Have you been eating?
I manage about two meals a day.
Eat up.
-Sir, I'll be going now. -Sure. Thank you.
-Su-han? -Jeong-han!
Are you well?
Sure. What about you?
I'm okay.
I...
I earned some money.
Working at the tideland?
Yes. It's not my first wage,
but I want to buy you and your wife something.
It's your hard-earned money. You buy what you need.
No, no. I want to buy you something.
Well, when will you come back?
I haven't decided but I'll let you know.
Okay, take care.
-I should go now. -Okay.
Hello.
Anybody home?
Who are you?
Hello.
Do you remember me? The other day...
I carried Ham-cho's dad.
I see. What brings you here?
This is for you.
I bought some pork.
It's to say thank you for taking care of Ham-cho's dad.
I'm boarding at his house.
I see.
Actually...
I'm curious about something.
Why does Ham-cho's dad come here when he's drunk?
I want to find out the reason.
Well, me too.
I asked him many times.
But he never told me.
I see.
I hope you don't mind.
But could I see the room?
It must be outside that window, where he always stays.
Right.
I was curious so I looked many times.
But there's nothing out there.
-What time does he come? -Whenever.
But it's before the drama starts, so before ten.
What do you usually do then?
I watch the news or listen to music.
Music?
So you like music.
Yes.
What do you usually listen to?
Whatever. Stuff the others usually listen to.
Can you play it for me?
2002 UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE TRIAL EXAM (JUNE) REPORT CARD
Your language score is a bit behind. What dragged you down?
I spent too much time on question six.
You have to practice distributing your time.
I will.
It's similar to the trial exam in March.
It was a little more difficult.
I heard Da-hae came first in her division.
Wow, she's such a smart girl!.
Da-hae's dad is a real lucky man.
His daughter has top grades. His wife is intelligent and nice.
He lacks nothing. Why are men like that?
He doesn't speak for all men.
Men are all the same.
Who came first in your class?
-Jang Guk. -Jang Guk?
Who's Jang Guk?
The granddaughter of the old lady who sells dumplings at the market.
That kid who moved from the country?
Busan.
Who are you talking about?
The granny's dumpling house in our building. I told you about it.
Her son-in-law died and her daughter and family moved in. We almost fought.
She came first?
Yes.
That old lady has one fine granddaughter.
Hey, Yu Jun-su! How come you can't beat a kid like that?
Stop smiling, Yu Jun-su!
Losing to a girl. Boys are no good these days.
Daughters are so much better these days.
He's our kid. Why compare him with some other kid?
I'm just jealous, that's all.
-He has his whole life ahead of him. -Right?
You have to wait until the end to find out who wins.
Go, Son!
-Go, go, go! -Keep it up!
Oh my...
2002 UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE TRIAL EXAM (JUNE) REPORT CARD
Guk, you came in first!
You kept whining so I was worried. I'm so proud of you!
My little treasure. I'm so proud of you!
Wake me up in two hours.
Sure, sure. I'm so proud of you, my sweet girl!
I can't believe she's my daughter!
2002 UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE TRIAL EXAM (JUNE) REPORT CARD
Why, you...
Honey.
Da-hae.
Mom!
Please take care of Da-Hae!
Please take care of Da-hae!
Ham-cho, give me your bag.
I'll carry it for you.
Did you like the cruise ship? I really liked it.
Ham-cho, you must be hungry. Shall we get something yummy?
Why are you smiling, little lady?
I'm loaded. I earned money working on the tideland.
Tada!
What do you feel like, little lady?
-Pizza. -Okay, let's go.
Let's go get some pizza.
-Enjoy the food. -Thank you.
What's wrong? Do you think it's too big?
No problem. I had a huge craving for pizza too!
You have such a cute smile, Ham-cho.
I hope you smile a lot more from now on.
Shall we go shopping after this?
Then let's eat quickly. Here you are.
And mine.
Ready? Then...
Let's... eat!
Yum. Do you like it, too?
Have some coke.
It looks like an engagement ring.
Although it must've cost you a lot when you bought it,
you won't get much for it now.
It doesn't matter.
I don't need it anymore so give me what you can.
All right, then.
It's nice.
You don't like it?
This one with the heart is nice.
What about this?
This one?
Please take care of Dae-hae!
What does this mean?
Hurry up and look for Dad!
-Where? -Anywhere you can!
He doesn't answer my calls. He doesn't reply to my messages.
You've tried yourself.
Dad, this is Da-hae. Please call me.
Dad, when you get this, call me.
I'll be waiting, okay?
Da-hae, why are you crying?
He's not going to do anything foolish, right?
Like what?
No. Your dad isn't irresponsible like that.
Then what did he mean by this?
-Huh? -Mom!
Okay, let's find him.
But where do we start? What do we do?
What do I do?
This is driving me crazy.
It's a goal!
It's in!
Why does my body feel so heavy?
Come on! Come on!
-Jun-su. -Yeah.
What are you doing out?
I'm sleepy. Your phone's ringing.
Who is it?
Da-hae.
Studying hard?
No. I'm too sleepy. I don't know why I feel like this.
I know why. You just ate. You should exercise!
No thanks!
I'm so tired.
-I have to go. -What's going on?
-Da-hae's dad is missing. -What do you mean?
Not sure. I'll call you. I'll call you, Guk.
It's no wonder he's gone.
-Aren't you going to ask me? -What?
About Da-hae's dad.
I heard the kids talking.
What do they say?
That he was on TV.
Is that all they're saying?
No, they're saying weird stuff. Is it true?
From the way Jun-su is acting, I think it is.
The day that Da-hae disappeared, wasn't it when Korea played Germany?
-Did you see that part? -What part?
Da-hae's dad and that woman?
-Yeah. -I saw it.
But I don't know what he looks like.
I was so shocked to hear what happened. I don't know how she's holding up.
-Is Da-hae okay? -No.
I saw her briefly this morning.
She looked like she could bite someone's head off so I stayed away.
Me too. Better to hide from the storm.
But what does it mean, he's missing?
Not sure. I'm worried though.
Are you okay?
Jun-su's only caring for Da-hae.
You said they were a couple since kindergarten.
So you're just accepting it and giving up?
I'd do the same if I were him.
They're friends before anything else and I hate people who have no loyalty.
Oh, you're all about loyalty. Bravo, country girl.
Also we must focus on our studies for now.
There's plenty of time. Goals still go in, even if there's a goalkeeper.
-So you're on my side? -What are you saying?
-Why are you smiling? -Should I cry then?
No.
-Then what, you bozo. -Listen to you!
Let's start looking for people who he keeps in touch with.
But I don't know.
He has friends that he contacts whenever he comes to Korea.
But I only know their names, not their numbers.
What about people from work?
I have no idea.
-Don't you have his emergency contacts? -What's that?
People you call in case of an emergency.
Do you have your husband's?
Of course. Just in case.
Besides home, a wife should know
who to contact in case of emergencies.
Think, Mom. You must know.
No, I really don't.
I was... I was so thoughtless.
Now that something like this has happened to your dad,
my mind has gone completely blank.
You can do it.
The day Korea played Germany, where did he say he was going?
Oh, that day...
You said he was going to Gokseong in Jeolla-do.
How do you know that?
That's what you said when I asked you out for beer.
-Did I? -Mom...
Hang on, hang on.
Where did he say he was going?
A mother-in-law's funeral.
So someone's mother-in-law died.
If that's what he told you, then it must be someone you know.
Think whose mother-in-law it was.
Director! Director Kim Jung-sik.
They went to the same college. I think it was him.
-Really? -Do you know his number?
No.
What the...
No, Honey. We haven't heard from him yet.
What did he say?
Oh, the note, his note.
"Please take care of Da-hae!"
Honey, he said to take care of Da-hae.
Doesn't it sound like a suicide note?
Hey!
Ma'am!
Sorry.
The Red Devils?
We need ten Red Devil soccer fans.
Set up at that empty office we used the last time.
What are you going to do?
You have a big TV, right?
I got it when I got this office.
-Hello? -Hello.
Oh, Mr. Heo! A delivery?
Do you mean 20 servings? Of course, I can!
No problem. Just tell me where!
My cell phone number? Hang on.
It's 011-266-1435.
Thank you, Mr. Heo.
What did he say?
-A delivery order. -Where to?
For the Korea versus Turkey match,
he wants 20 servings of dumplings to his office.!
Mom, hurry. We need to make--
Why are you so busy?
I have a delivery for 20 servings.
Mom, don't just stand there. Help me!
Should I help you too?
You can help me by studying. Go inside!
-Hey, there. -Hey.
Why are you so late?
They blocked off the roads for the soccer game.
What do you want?
I'll have coffee.
Two cups of coffee, please
That thing that I asked for...
Take a look and sign it.
Do you really have to do this? You worked so hard all these years.
It's driving me crazy too. But I have to do this.
What about your wife and your daughter?
A jerk that shames his family is better off gone.
Don't contact my wife.
VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION APPLICATION
You're home.
-Welcome home. -Welcome home.
-I'm home. -Hungry?
Did you hear anything from Da-hae's dad?
Nothing yet.
I'll get dinner ready.
-Hang on. -Has it started it yet?
-Yes, it just started. -Yes.
-I hope we win. -It's hot today.
What's going to happen to Da-hae?
Take care of yourself.
Thank you for everything.
Who's this?
He's answering.
Hello, Director Kim. I'm Ju Cheol-su's wife.
Yes, yes.
Where is he right now?
He left a suicide note and disappeared.
What? Leave? Go where?
Director Kim!
Where is he going?
Going back to Vietnam?
No, no, no! He can't!
What time is his flight?
If you don't tell me, I'll just die right here!
Director Kim!
Oh, the hotel?
Okay.
What's going on, Mom? Where is Dad?
That jerk... Your father...
He's going back to Vietnam on a 10:30 flight.
What?
He should be at the hotel now.
Please take care of Da-hae!
That crazy jerk!
You want me to take care of our daughter and you want out?
How can you do this? I won't let it happen!
That dirty bastard! That stinking piece of shit!
I'll kill you!
-Mom... -I'll get him.
I'll get that Ju Cheol-su
and send him to prison for adultery.
-Your change. -It's okay.
Hurry.
Hurry up.
Come on, Hamy.
Hurry, Hamy.
Can you take this?
Hurry up.
Did Ju Cheol-su, I mean Hamy check out?
We can't...
Can't you tell us the approximate time?
-We can't give you that information. -He's my father.
Da-hae, hurry!
Cheol-su! Ju Cheol-su! Ju Cheol-su! Ju Cheol-su!
Oh, my goodness! It's your dad!
-Mom. -What should we do?
-What do we do? -Get a cab!
-Hurry! Taxi! -Here!
Take us to the airport. Please hurry.
-What time is the flight? -Ten thirty.
He said ten thirty. Please hurry!
What's all this?
It's for you, Dad.
Yeong-hui...
Da-hae, I'm sorry.
Da-hae, over there!
It's Dad!
Ju Cheol-su! Ju Cheol-su!
-Cheol-su! -Dad!
Cheol-su! Cheol-su!
-Cheol-su! -Mom.
12 YEARS PROMISE
Why? What's wrong?
What? Is it $180,000?
Retirement pay?
Did you throw out my old uniform?
He said he was going to give it to a new student in his class.
It's not new. But it's okay, isn't it?
What? He gave it to the new student?
-Su-han! -Su-han.
Boys!
Su-han wants to go abroad to study.
When do you usually throw up?
Sometimes when I'm eating. I felt sick from this morning.
Is she very sick?
