LIFE OF AN 8-YEAR-OLD
Why are you already being a handful?
Are you hitting puberty?
You're one to talk. It's you who's being a handful.
Whatever. I said no and my answer is final.
Do you only care about yourself?
What about what I want?
What is it that you want then?
Did you ask for my opinion when you gave birth to me?
Did you ask me if I didn't need a dad?
Did you ask how I felt when you started to date Yong-sik?
Did you ask me if you could?
But this guy is getting divorced, you know.
It'll be the three of us. Me, him, and the baby.
He'll set up an arcade and send me to the Major League.
Do you agree to a DNA test?
Can...
I refuse?
FORENSICS
I'll do it.
-I should cooperate. -Right.
Please open up.
Why aren't any of the clocks working?
Someone's in here.
He's my father.
Why is he sitting there silently?
-He can't move. -Sorry?
He can't walk.
I see.
-Do we collect his sample, too? -Hey!
We're sorry, sir.
If one more dies,
they'll be scared out of their wits.
Is it okay to lock the door when he's inside?
I'm worried that someone will go in.
It's a scary world out there.
He's right. My mom can't walk properly either
because of her sore hips.
It really takes a tole on the family members.
GARBAGE
ONGSAN SANITATION
My strategy is always to be quick to attack.
All right, let's go!
And everyone in Ongsan is on my side.
Why did you have to come?
No wonder Ja-yeong isn't here.
Did she really get you out of here?
You don't have to come back?
If it weren't for Ja-yeong,
the police would've run all over me.
Thankfully, the snobby cow is still loyal.
Your aunt in Daejeon wants to set you up
with a school art teacher.
Save it. I'm not remarrying.
As my punishment for hurting Ja-yeong,
I'll die as a lonely old man.
You disgraceful imbecile.
Can't it be anyone else but her?
Why ask when you can't bring us back together?
Gyu-tae, wait. Stop.
Why on earth are you doing this to me?
Where are you going?
I found my calling.
What...
PARK HEUNG-SIK
SUSPICIOUS ARTICLES
What the hell is all this?
It stinks.
Go and open the window.
Leave the door open, too.
What are you doing in a closed space?
Are you not selling glasses anymore?
Business has been bad.
I hear he became a cop after catching a fugitive.
Goodness. So what?
Are you thinking of applying after catching Joker?
This is what I'm meant to do.
Chief, I heard we got Joker's DNA.
Can you use the back channel again
and give this to your friend at the lab?
Come on, give this to him.
I put him in a tough spot, you know.
He had to write up an apology because of the steering wheel.
There is no such thing as a perfect crime.
We just didn't dig deep enough.
So we'll dig, dig, and dig again
to find definitive evidence
so that he'll have no place to escape.
-What's this? -Still,
Dongbaek said she didn't recognize the guy.
Those mishaps in people's memories let these snakes get away with crimes.
How can Dongbaek recognize a guy right away
in such a situation when he even had a cap on?
It's like when my dad was caught for gambling.
I couldn't recognize him on the news because of the cap he had on.
He reported his truck missing
and Dongbaek didn't recognize him.
I bet he's proud of himself right now,
but he can't fool me. No way.
He seems like the type to have high self-esteem.
He can't fool me either.
You're doing this because you're upset with me, right?
You really want to move to Seoul?
Jun-gi and I won't be there, you know.
But my dad's there.
I lived with you for all these years.
I should get to live with Dad as well.
Why do you look so gloomy?
Do you always want me to grow up without a dad?
It doesn't have to be that way for me, though.
Right.
You're right.
Just because I don't have a husband doesn't mean you can't have a dad.
Why did I never think of that?
While walking under the same torn umbrella,
I must have depended on him in some ways, too.
I must've felt guilty as well.
I guess that's why I got upset with his decision.
Really?
You're going to send him away?
Only until Joker is caught.
You know,
I didn't mention this because it would only scare you.
POLICE
But I'll be straightforward.
I think that Heung-sik...
is Joker.
I'm about 85 percent sure.
No, it's not him.
Besides, weren't you adamant that Mr. No was Joker?
Dongbaek, look into my eyes.
Would I let him get away?
I'm curious, though.
Why do you do that thing with your eyes?
Anyway, just trust me. Okay?
I'll catch Joker in no time
and bring Pil-gu home.
POLICE
CAMELLIA
What kind of weirdo orders stir-fried squid and pork belly out here?
Because of the accident, Hyang-mi was late.
During that time, he lost control
and forgot to be cautious.
His tic that was gone for a while started again,
and he mistook Hyang-mi for Dongbaek.
She was stabbed once in the neck.
There weren't any defensive wounds.
She didn't see the attack coming.
I'm curious, though.
Why does he stuff sawdust in people's mouths?
Who knows?
I found something even weirder this time.
It's about this big and bright yellow.
-Bright yellow? -Yes.
There's no distinct shape, and it's a bold color.
I honestly can't figure out what it is.
Why did he stuff it in her mouth?
He didn't stuff it in her mouth.
The victim swallowed it herself.
That yellow thing was found in her throat.
To be lodged in there,
it would take more force than someone shoving it in.
It indicates that the victim voluntarily swallowed it before dying.
CAMELLIA
Then she was alive until that moment.
If an artery was slashed, she would've died instantly.
However, it only nicked her vein,
so she would've bled out slowly.
80B6033
She stayed alive for about 30 minutes.
I wonder
why Hyang-mi swallowed that.
I think she was leaving us a message.
ONGSAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Chung-jae went to the Philippines.
Just consider it as the same thing.
You want to study abroad? Were you always this ambitious?
I have to play in the Major League
to but you a stir-fried pork diner.
Hold on. Must I sell stir-fried pork even after
you join the Major League?
Are you crying again?
If you cry too often, people will walk all over you.
Jun-gi's mom doesn't cry even when she hits her toe on a door.
What are you going to call that model?
You won't call her Mom, right?
Are you insane?
ONGSAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
You just jumped right in. Don't I even get a hug?
I'm not a baby.
Don't be like that.
Crying here will only make us feel bad.
We'll get going.
Call me as soon as you get there, okay?
You said that about 100 times.
I'm getting a headache now, so get going.
So much for kids being clingy.
He didn't even look back once.
Must you cry your eyes out like that? You're making me feel bad.
Why did you pretend to be so cool about it?
I'm not leaving because I want to!
Then why are you leaving?
It's not like I'm kidnapping you.
If I'm going to be anyone's burden, it'll be better to be yours.
What?
You were able to marry that model because you were childless.
Mom can now marry Yong-sik for all I care!
Is that why you're coming with me?
Why is everyone getting married?
Aren't I enough for you guys?
Why do you just keep marrying other people?
Anyway, if Sang-mi stays here again,
I'll kick you out with her.
Mu-ok,
people say that your daughter is an attention seeker.
They say it's almost an illness.
Her father never gave her the attention she needs,
which is why she seeks it elsewhere.
How can she not crave love when her father's this way?
What?
What did you say?
If she's not a minister or an accountant,
she's not your child?
I'm fine being ostracized, but her...
Shit.
What did you just say?
This wouldn't have happened had you raised her well.
Okay, fine. It's my fault. I'm the one to blame.
I should be beaten to a pulp for this, right?
Mom, stop.
I'm not off to die, you know.
I'm just moving to another apartment in the complex.
Sang-mi.
All right, fine. I won't argue with him.
Being divorced twice isn't anything to be ashamed about these days.
Just leave him if you want.
Don't live for me, and do as you want now.
I can carry this myself.
Why are you being this way?
Are you showing off your strength?
All right. You can carry them.
Why fold so easily like that?
Are you in debt to me or something?
Is that why you're being my mom?
Stop being intimidated all the time because of me.
That annoys me even more!
Hand it over.
Mom...
What did my baby ever do wrong?
If there's anyone to blame, it's me.
Children, even after receiving nine things,
ask for one more.
Parents are heartbroken when they don't have one more to give
even after giving ten.
Even though parents keep giving and giving.
Hey. My gosh.
You...
They always feel like they're in debt to their children.
Why did you change the lock combination?
Was it to keep me out?
So one leaves and one crawls back in?
Pil-gu handed me the baton.
Really?
When did you meet him? What did he say?
Move.
This isn't a place for you to come by when you please.
You leave then come back, leave then come back.
Is this some sort of test?
Have you been to the doctor or what?
Why are you so annoying?
Have you had dinner?
Did you eat when you abandoned me?
Must you do this?
What?
Do you want to kick me out and have Dongbaek move in?
Like I'd stand by and watch that.
Do you live with me for others' sake?
You're the party at fault here which means you can't ask for a divorce.
You're the one who kept asking for one.
I only asked. You're the one with another son.
Keep it down, will you?
He knows everything anyway, so why should I?
-Hey. -What?
Enough is enough.
Shut it.
I don't know if you'll like it.
Here.
All right.
Is one bill a day enough allowance for an eight-year-old?
I'm not up to date on the market price.
10,000 WON
YEOKJAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
It's your first time having a dad,
but it's my first time having an eight-year-old, too.
Let's just think of this as an adjusting period.
Sure. I'm good with that.
Also,
the model lady will stay here for now.
That's fine, too.
I see. All right.
By the way, your sister is at my mother's house,
but she'll be back tomorrow.
I guess that's fine with you too, but--
Does she stay in different homes often?
What?
Well...
She stays at my mom's and then at Jessica's mom's...
I feel bad for her.
She's ugly and poops her pants, but she has to hop from place to place.
Do you think of yourself that way, too?
Sure. I lived with my mom, and now I'm living with my dad.
Do you usually sleep alone?
Since it's your first day, maybe...
Right. I guess sleeping together would be weird.
Can I lock my door when I sleep?
How on earth do you comfort a 34-year-old daughter?
Gosh, I have no idea.
It's just me.
-Why? -What?
-Why?
You want us to sleep together?
-That's weird. -Tell me about it.
What...
How can you abandon a child?
Even though mine's with his father,
I'm worried about
whether he's sleeping all right or if his nightstand
and humidifier are on.
So how could you have abandoned me?
How can you live after abandoning a kid?
You're this upset when Pil-gu's gone temporarily.
But I abandoned my kid.
The day I left you,
I went crazy.
Do you want me to pat your back or something?
My bed's too small.
Stop weeping and just go to sleep.
Even without his humidifier, he's safer over there.
You can bring him back once Joker is caught.
A kid needs a mother more than all the money in the world.
You made me an orphan when you knew that?
If you give up your child
because you can barely meet ends,
you become dead inside.
Don't die, Mom.
Stop yapping and go to bed.
That kidney or gallbladder, whatever it is... I'll give you mine.
Hey!
What?
I didn't want to come back because I know you'd say that.
I'd rather die
than take that from the daughter I gave up.
It's my gallbladder to give.
Who are you to tell me what to do with it? Why do you care?
You should hate me. You should loathe me.
Why would you say you'll give it to me so easily?
It's not because I like you.
I can hate you all I want while giving you what you need.
If you die because I don't give it to you,
how do you think I would feel?
Why is everyone in this household too good-hearted?
My heart breaks whenever I see you both.
Why did you grow up to be so kind?
No one will acknowledge you or be nicer to you for your kindness.
Whatever. Stop nagging and just don't die.
I want to stop saying goodbye to everyone.
Goodness. I thought I could die in peace
after seeing you,
but I really can't bring myself to die now.
Yes, so just take my gall bladder or whatever.
Why would I take your gall bladder?
It's my kidney. The kidney, you idiot.
You know what?
It's science.
There's a research result that says
the accuracy of a lie detector is as high as 94 percent.
Mother.
I don't like cake.
Gyu-tae likes it.
Why do you keep calling him by name?
He addresses me by my name when he's with my mom
even though I'm older.
How fair and square of you.
I can't believe I have Judge Judy for a daughter-in-law.
It seems like you came to say something you don't want to with that cake.
But that's not necessary.
I had my own way of venting whenever you were mean.
Well, I guess you weren't the type who never talked back.
And compared to other mothers-in-law,
I was a really easygoing person.
Mother?
It's not that you were easygoing.
Come to think about it, I got my revenge every single time.
What? What revenge?
Something that you would know.
What? What is it?
Tell me!
What revenge is that?
To whom would I vent the stress that I get from you?
Whenever you gave me stress that was the size of a ping pong ball,
I threw a volleyball at Gyu-tae.
He must've been as tired as me
whenever the holidays passed by.
I was hysteric for at least a week.
When I got stressed out by you, of course, I took it out on your son.
I'm sure you know that because you've done it, too.
You know that's only natural.
Are you trying to get back at me?
You're saying that if I criticize daughter-in-law,
my son would end up dealing with all your wrath?
You're determined to make me explode, aren't you?
You stab me, I stab Gyu-tae.
Then Gyu-tae would get scared of me.
Then you would stab me again.
We were all just victims in that stupid vicious cycle.
I really hope you get a daughter-in-law like you, okay?
Do you always pack what you need by yourself?
Mom, one second.
Pil-gu hasn't been able to mingle very well.
Did you lock the door again?
Why do you keep doing that?
He looks as embarrassed and anxious as me
whenever I had new classmates.
Pil-gu's tiny little heart is anxious, too.
Anyway, I saw her. Rebecca.
Did you say hi to her? How was it?
She's bald, but she's a girl.
They keep putting a ribbon on her head.
Pil-gu's voice keeps getting smaller.
So? Did you make any new friends?
How many new friends did you get?
The kids here are really weird.
They don't go to the mountain to see a beetle.
They get one delivered to their house and raise it.
-They're really weird. -Really?
I thought he didn't take after me.
I'm off to earn money.
It's supposed to be scrambled eggs.
I'll try harder tomorrow!
I can't drink milk.
But he keeps taking after me.
He keeps feeling self-conscious, and he keeps getting gloomy.
AVOCADO, ZUCCHINI, MACKEREL, SALT
Mom.
When did I start talking?
You barely started speaking after you turned two.
You really stressed me out
because it took you forever to speak.
Pil-gu started speaking really late, too.
But someone said
a single parent's child tends to begin speaking later.
The mother is the only one who speaks, so they don't get much stimulation.
After I heard that,
I carried him on my back and went out
every single night.
I kept going around the entire neighborhood saying,
"Say hello to that auntie. Say hi to that granny, too."
I went around talking to everyone like some crazy woman in town.
But no matter how much I tried,
people kept saying all kinds of things just because I'm a single mother.
Goodness.
People just can't keep their mouths shut, can they?
I could ignore whatever they said to me,
but here's the thing that I hated hearing the most.
"Goodness, I feel bad for the kid. That poor kid."
Those inconsiderate jerks. They won't feel as bad as the mother.
Why do they blabber like they know everything?
I really didn't want to hear them say that,
so I brought him up into a bright kid.
But no matter how much I try, he must be Dongbaek's son.
He keeps taking after me. It's frustrating.
Hey, feed her some dumplings.
Okay.
I don't plan on becoming an evil stepmom in fairy tales or on the news.
But I don't have enough energy to be superficial either.
Let's just live comfortably,
as if this is a share house.
Okay.
I'm saying you can ask me for food without feeling bad.
Just think of me as a cafeteria lunch lady or something.
Okay.
And tell your dad if you need anything.
We're not close.
He keeps asking if I need anything whenever he sees me,
so I don't want to talk to him.
Then you can tell me or something.
I'm pretty cool about things.
But I heard the lunch ladies went on a strike.
Right. It's tough to make a living.
After Pil-gu went away,
Dongbaek seems like an alien who's pretending to be her.
No dumplings again?
You didn't have them yesterday, either.
The owner isn't in the mood to make dumplings.
Dongbaek, soy sauce. Dip it in soy sauce.
I don't want to.
Why? You're not in the mood to dip it in soy sauce?
Mom, just set a date for the operation already.
There's no way I'm doing that.
If I don't agree to get an operation,
no doctor or even a god can come
and take your kidney.
Mom.
I have to catch Joker and give Hyang-mi a funeral, too.
I still feel like
Hyang-mi would walk out of the kitchen with some beer in her hand.
It's only been a few days since Pil-gu went to Seoul,
but I can't even taste this dumpling.
Things are tough for your daughter, Mom.
I'm bad at saying goodbyes.
So stop torturing me and set a date already.
Let me just give it to you.
Don't make it sound so easy.
Dongbaek grew tired over the continuous blows life threw at her.
CAMELLIA
Onions aren't that great nowadays.
She became completely lethargic as if she dropped her soul
-somewhere else. -They look too soft.
I can't help it, I guess. Just give them to me.
No, we want different ones.
-These awful things are barely onions. -It's just a few.
-Give them back. -Let's just take them.
I'll take them.
I couldn't do anything
to fill up Pil-gu's empty space, not even an inch.
-Goodbye. -Okay.
Dongbaek!
My gosh.
You stepped on dog poop.
People should clean up after their own dogs!
You need to pick up this dog poop!
No one would feel great after stepping on dog poop!
Darn it.
Dog poop is just dog poop.
Why are you so out of it?
You should watch out for dog poop.
She didn't cry or smile.
She seemed like she lost her soul.
CAMELLIA
Do you know
which line in TV shows makes me turn the channel?
I wouldn't know.
"We're breaking up because I love you."
There's nothing more pretentious and cheaper than that.
Why would you break up when you're in love?
You should make sure to hold onto them.
It's like saying, "I'm hungry, but I don't feel like eating."
That just means they aren't hungry enough.
They still have time to pick and choose.
I'm hungry.
I'm practically starving.
There's no reason to make cheap excuses like that.
Just be honest and say, "I like you,
but I don't like your background.
I don't want all these other things that come with you.
No, thank you."
Why do they make excuses and say, "I loved you"?
I'm not saying, "I like you, Dongbaek,
but I can't accept Pil-gu."
And it's not Hwang Yong-sik's style
to break up with someone when I still like her.
So... Will you please stop removing those stickers?
You keep doing that.
CAMELLIA
You'll never break up with her?
Never.
Then let me leave my will with you.
They must've been like Romeo and Juliet, not mother and son.
She's completely out of it.
She wouldn't be thrilled to get rid of her burden, you know.
Okay, smarty.
Ms. Kwak.
Stop lying around. Get up and shell some beans.
Every family has its own issues.
I'm sure he didn't suddenly go to Seoul
because he got sour over what you said.
Goodness.
There's no point of making all those offerings
if I can't be a real adult.
I broke a kid's heart at 70 years of age.
He's a kid.
He'll forget it soon.
It'll stay with him for life because he's a kid.
I made a scratch on cement that hasn't been hardened.
How am I going to make up for that?
That'll stay with him for life.
I knew you weren't capable.
All of us only pretended like we were scared of you,
but you're just too kind-hearted.
There's no way you can kick out Dongbaek and Pil-gu. Never.
So what?
Do you expect me to let them marry?
Stop giving me advice when I'm the one who's about to die here.
Darn it.
Hey.
Okay, I get it.
You should go now. Please.
My goodness.
Goodness.
Yes, Chief Byeon. I'm on my way back.
Did Byeong-rae of NISI call you?
NISI TEST ANALYSIS
Just ask him to run ours through first.
He has it. He has the result.
How's the kid doing at their house?
Is he doing all right?
Yes, I guess so.
What about you?
I don't even have to ask.
I thought I brought up Pil-gu,
but I guess it was the other way around.
I don't feel like
doing anything without Pil-gu here.
I must either be getting too old
or have gotten possessed.
I have no idea why I said that.
I should really watch my mouth.
How could I tell him that you should at least be
without a burden like him?
I'm sure that had a huge impact in his heart.
How am I supposed to make up for that?
Did you tell him
that I should be without a burden like him?
You...
You don't know?
CAMELLIA
He should tell his mom when he hears something like that.
What's wrong with that kid?
Why did he get brokenhearted without telling you?
You're an adult. Why did you do that?
How can you of all people say that to him?
Dongbaek.
Of course, I didn't do it on purpose.
A burden? Come on, Ms. Kwak.
Why should he hear something like that?
I tried so hard to never let him hear something...
Something like that...
He's a kid.
I'm sure he'll forget it soon.
I'll treat him even better to help him forget.
The ladies around my town told me I was my mom's burden
when I was only seven years old,
and I remember it to this day.
Ms. Kwak, you can never make up for that.
He'll remember that for life.
You made a mistake.
How will you make up for that?
You like to be generous,
but you can't bear to stay indebted, right?
Ms. Kwak.
IN FRONT OF HEUNG-SIK'S STORE
It wasn't him.
They rubbed every corner of Heung-sik's mouth
with a cotton swab, and it still wasn't him.
Then that DNA test is probably wrong!
I know it's Heung-sik!
Do you have something against him?
Do you think I'm being emotional?
I'm basing this on evidence.
Just take a look at the facts!
Who installed the security camera at the bar?
Heung-sik was also the one who cleaned the building
that caught on fire.
When you go in the other direction, it's closed.
He knows all about that building.
That's why he was hiding there and watching me.
On top of that, he was the one who fed the cats.
But they didn't detect any pesticide from the cat food he had.
Yong-sik was really curious to know who kept feeding the cats.
He probably stopped adding pesticides because he knew I was looking into it.
Inside his tiny hardware store,
there are tons of tools that can be used to kill people.
The wire that was used to kill the skin therapist
was in his hardware store as well.
On top of that,
that truck was also Heung-sik's.
What more do you need?
Listen to me.
The composite sketch doesn't match,
and the DNA test also came out as negative.
Science keeps telling us that it isn't him.
What do you know about science?
My gosh, this is driving me crazy.
I know for a fact that it's Heung-sik! I just know it, okay?
All the evidence is pointing at him!
Why can't you see that?
Are you a judge?
Do you think you're a judge?
Do you think you get to choose who the culprit is?
That darn punk.
My gosh.
My gosh, come on.
Stop making me do stuff secretly like that.
Why?
What's the matter?
One wasn't a match, but the other one was.
Where did you get that lock of hair?
Yes, we've confirmed the DNA.
I'll check where he is and get going.
-Hurry! -I needed to think
why he stopped murdering people
instead of why he murdered them.
Joker stopped murdering people five years ago.
And five years ago...
Around four o'clock today, a man fell down a building
trying to install the outdoor AC unit for a shopping mall near the terminal.
ONGSAN HARDWARE
Five years ago,
someone got into an accident.
You've already killed
enough of my cats.
I told you not to bring home any more cats!
What did you do to my cat?
I threw it down the building!
Every time you bring one,
I'll do the same thing and throw it down the building.
-Why are you crying? -People easily
tend to forget people's faces.
Some people are just hard to remember regardless of how hard you try.
While he was away in the dark for five years,
everyone had forgotten about him,
and everyone had excluded him for good.
What? Are you here to arrest me?
Yong-sik.
And everyone has parents of their own.
Yong-sik, I can...
I can take responsibility for everything.
I'm serious.
-Sir. -Yong-sik.
Yong-sik, I promise...
I promise I'll always lock him inside.
I'll never forget to do that.
Yong-sik, please don't do this.
Let this go, just this once.
Let's go.
Yong-sik.
My dad...
is all I've got.
Sir.
Get up.
Contract workers in schools are planning to carry on with their strike.
They're asking for a smaller gap regarding the bonuses they receive.
And they also want an increase in their basic pay
and seniority allowance based on the years of experience.
Seoul Office of Education agrees with the need of change,
but they're also showing different opinions.
WE WANT A WORLD WITH NO DISCRIMINATION
Do you know a first-grader named Kang Pil-gu?
Do you guys know him?
He got transferred here.
-You mean Pickled Radish? -He's probably in the cafeteria.
"Pickled Radish"?
Doesn't your uncle live in Elegance Palace?
He lives with his uncle?
What's with your lunch when you live in Elegance Palace?
He apparently likes pickled radish.
I'm the best baseball player among all of us.
Who cares what I eat? I just need to join the Major League.
He even eats cup noodles at the convenience store.
His mom must be really nice.
I had never seen my mom so angry before.
YEOKJAM ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Back then, I thought she was angry.
Get up.
-Get up. -Why?
I don't want to go.
I don't want to go!
I'm not going to go!
But now that I think about it,
she was just sad.
I have training!
What's with you all of a sudden?
Are you going to live here?
Is there a problem?
I told you I'm going to join the Major League!
I want you to choose between me and the Major League.
Why would you ask me to choose?
Pil-gu, I don't need you to become an MLB player.
I would never swap you for Ryu Hyun-jin.
So I want you to choose.
Is it me or the Major League? Tell me.
What do you want?
Why won't you answer my question?
What's the matter with you?
Why do you keep walking on eggshells?
Why can't you be honest with me?
Who told you to walk on eggshells and be shy about speaking up?
If you keep this up, I'm not going to be your mom!
I might as well just leave! I'll go ahead and leave!
To be honest, I don't really want to be an MLB player!
Even if I go to the States,
I won't even be that happy!
Then why did you lie to me?
Why did say you're going to become an MLB player?
What about you? Why did you lie?
When did I lie?
You told me that I'm all you need!
What kind of a mom gets married?
None of the other kids' moms get married!
Do you even know how it feels to watch your own mom
get married?
At least you get to marry someone since you're an adult!
But I can't do that because I'm an elementary school kid!
It's not like I can go to the army, either!
I have nowhere to go!
This is so annoying!
Life is so annoying!
So hurry up and choose!
Are you going to come with me or not?
I'll go with you.
Dongbaek.
Wait. Where are you going?
How did you even come here?
I told you, right?
If they try to do something, punch their nose. It's the nose.
Did you just punch my nose?
Did you know that Pil-gu eats
instant rice and pickled radish for lunch?
What?
I thought you applied for school lunch.
You don't get to say anything regarding Pil-gu from now on.
You're out.
Dongbaek, if you keep doing this, it'll only confuse him.
I don't need his uncle to worry about him.
Are you his uncle?
Were you worried he might get in trouble if people found out
he's actually your son?
How do you think I feel? I can't even say I'm his dad.
Will you stop being emotional?
I won't let my son stay at his uncle's house
and take instant rice and pickled radish to school for lunch.
This is my first time. You need to let me adjust to all this.
I'm not going to get swayed by any of your bullshit anymore.
Listen to me carefully.
If you get involved in Pil-gu's life one more time,
I'll file a paternity suit and make the whole world find out,
so you'd better be prepared next time.
Dongbaek!
Pil-gu!
I was the one whom I needed to destroy, not Joker.
Aren't you just sick and tired of being intimidated all the time?
People keep acting up because I'm nice to them.
I'm a person who's capable of breaking someone's nose with my fist.
And I'm a fighter who's able to protect my own kid.
Mom, you were like Conor McGregor.
Really?
I decided to become the strongest mother in the world from now on.
THE SERIAL KILLER JOKER GETS ARRESTED IN SIX YEARS
-What was your motive? -Do you admit it?
-Do you admit to the charges? -Over here!
-Wait! -He said something!
Wait a second! What did you say?
-Can you say it a bit louder? -You're so noisy!
What's the big deal about murdering someone?
Stop causing a big fuss.
-Let's go. -What was your motive?
-Please tell us! -Why did you do it?
-Look over here! -Wait!
Thank you.
It's apparently an antisocial personality disorder
or something like that.
Who cares what goes on in the mind of that psycho?
The most important thing we need to focus on
is the fact that we, the nice guys, did our best to catch that jerk.
That's what this is all about.
Are you coming from a wedding?
You know, Parisians...
Even when there's a terrorist attack,
they still go to a cafe the next day and drink coffee.
"There's absolutely nothing you can take away from us."
That's what they're trying to show as they drink that coffee.
Have you ever been to Paris?
You wanted to do an interview, didn't you?
I actually contributed to this investigation, too.
Yes, I know.
Why isn't she picking up?
YONG-SIK
He's still such a baby.
Pil-gu has protected me all his life.
Mom, I caught a camel cricket!
-Mom, look. -My gosh, just throw it outside!
-Look at it! -Pil-gu, just throw it away!
Mom, you can go to the bathroom now. You can poop now!
I'm sorry.
Pil-gu saved me by coming to this world.
And as he grew up, he became a fighter just so he could protect me.
Why do I need to protect you?
You should be protecting me.
I was becoming a little girl.
We won't be living together once I grow old and get married, right?
-But he was becoming an adult. -Is that just how things work?
Grandma!
I didn't know he was trying hard not to be a little kid.
I betrayed him and was busy being in love.
My gosh, Dongbaek!
What took you so long to answer your phone?
My gosh, seriously.
I'm sorry. I couldn't answer the phone earlier.
Did you see the news or not?
Tell me! Hurry up!
Thank you so much.
I would've been scared all my life
if it weren't for you.
I'll head over to your bar right now.
-So you'd better compliment me. -No, don't come to the bar.
I'll meet you at the place where I first fell for you.
What?
Dongbaek!
My gosh, why is he always smiling like that?
ONGSAN
Is this where you fell for me?
What was that kiss for?
When I saw you sitting here,
you have no idea how emotional I became.
Back then, my heart fluttered like crazy
just by sitting next to you.
But now, we're close enough to kiss each other.
This is practically
a miracle.
Why would you kiss me like that? Seriously. That was so unnecessary.
What's the matter?
Is it because I kissed you?
My gosh, you used to kiss me first.
Why are you so shy all of a sudden?
My gosh, how am I going to do this?
What am I going to do?
I can't say it.
What? What's wrong?
Did something happen again?
My gosh, I can't...
I didn't want to cry when I said this to you.
I'm so bad at saying goodbye.
Yong-sik.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
What kind of nonsense are you going to say this time?
My gosh, who dumps someone and cries like a baby at the same time?
I don't want to hurt Pil-gu just so I can be happy.
Does he hate me that much?
Is he totally against me?
I'd rather feel better if he said that.
But he keeps...
He keeps walking on eggshells. He's starting to become like me.
Dating was never an option.
Pil-gu always comes first,
but I was being so immature.
It's okay.
I'll try harder and win brownie points. Don't worry.
I thought...
things would work that way.
But that's just what we want.
Ever since
Pil-gu began talking,
he told me that he'll protect me.
And the fact that he thinks that way
makes me feel so sorry and troubled.
My gosh.
Why do you have to be...
so adamant?
Pil-gu's still a little kid.
What matters to me the most
is to make sure Pil-gu grows up to be a happy and confident kid.
I thought timings and variables
were all just a bunch of bullshit.
I already knew what I needed to say
to make this kind Hulk give up on me.
I just want...
to be a mom.
I don't want to be just a woman.
I want to be happy as a mom.
My gosh.
You're so mean.
What am I supposed to say...
to that?
There's nothing you can do.
We'll just have to break up.
I didn't know how I was going to break up with Dongbaek,
but I didn't know how to hold onto her, either.
That's how my mom's miraculous spring day came to an end.
And with her love and affection, I finally grew up.
Yes, I ate.
Why do you always ask if I ate or not?
Yes, okay. Mom, I'm a little busy right now.
So stop calling me.
Okay, I'll be right there.
What do you mean?
They're all edited. Those jealous brats edited those photos!
She was awfully lonely.
Don't leave Dongbaek's side.
I must live with you for 20 years.
A death benefit won't make up for all those years. So just live.
If you miss this chance, you won't make it.
No, I won't do it.
-Dongbaek. -Yong-sik, please help my mom.
