(Summer Strike, Episode 12)
By the way, can I ask you something?
Yes.
Did Officer Kwak ever tell you that the surveillance camera...
caught Geun Ho coming out of the billiard hall?
Geun Ho was at the billiard hall?
No. This is news to me. What?
Moo Chul checks the surveillance camera every day.
And he never told me that.
How come he didn't tell me?
Does Mr. Kwak have anything to do with Dae Bum's family?
Oh, that?
Yes. Well, I only heard about this too.
Dae Bum's father and Mr. Kwak used to be best friends...
before the incident at the billiard hall.
But after the incident, they became sworn enemies.
Why?
- On the day of the incident, - How have you been these days?
Dae Bum's father said...
- he went fishing with Mr. Kwak. - I've been the same.
But Mr. Kwak didn't corroborate his alibi.
Mr. Kwak's testimony...
played a major role in convicting Dae Bum's father.
When that happened, how old was Officer Kwak?
- I got it. - I don't have it.
You should talk to the kid.
You're at a police station. Behave.
- Sit up. - I was...
I was 11 years old back then. Moo Chul is 4 years older than me.
He was in eighth grade.
(Angok Middle School)
Calm down. Take a deep breath.
(Kwak Moo Chul)
Angok Middle School, Kwak Moo Chul.
(Kwak Moo Chul)
You killed her, didn't you?
My sister.
What are you so afraid of?
What?
What do you want to hide so desperately...
that you even killed an old lady for it?
You killed my sister...
here.
Dae Bum.
What are you talking about?
- No. - How could you kill my sister?
How could you do that to my family?
No!
Did you think you could hide it forever?
Did you think we wouldn't know...
and you would get away with this?
No! I didn't do it!
No!
Your son killed Sun Ah.
Did you kill Ms. Jung to cover that up?
Hey, don't you think you're being too harsh?
Then what about this?
What do you think this writing means?
You must know better than anyone what Geun Ho saw.
How dare you accuse me of...
It's over for you and your son.
This might look like some scribbles, but will an expert think so too?
How dare you threaten me with some stupid scribbles?
What about the surveillance camera?
He probably thought he wouldn't be on camera...
if he called Geun Ho at the top of the staircase.
But he never thought...
he would be reflected on the window of Geun Ho's house.
Geun Ho. Come here.
Hey, come here.
(Sunah Billiard Hall)
I know I'm right.
You killed Ms. Jung to cover up the fact that he killed Sun Ah!
Nonsense!
What do you know?
People will find out everything now.
That your son is a murderer!
No.
You seem to be mistaken. Okay?
My son...
didn't kill Ms. Jung.
I did.
Darn it. Well, I didn't mean to kill her at first.
You should have been there.
You should've been there, not her!
(Die, whore.)
Taxi!
Sir, please hurry.
Where to?
Myeongju Police Station.
Hey, stop right there!
- Hurry! - Stop! Darn it.
Hey. You!
Darn it.
I'm on my way now.
I have evidence for a murder case.
What's that?
Sir, don't stop.
- Taxi 3866. Pull over. - Just keep driving.
But the police officer is telling me to stop.
No. Please just keep driving.
- Stop the car! - Please trust me on this.
I'm going to the police station now.
Stop the car.
Sir!
Sir, please.
Get out.
Get out!
- Get out of the car. - Please trust me.
Get out!
Hey, open the door now! Open it.
Get out.
How dare he be so rude to me? I pay taxes every year.
Young lady, hold on tight.
Thank you.
Hey! I didn't do it!
(Police)
Geun Ho...
- You know who this is, right? - remembered what happened...
after watching the video Dae Bum recorded.
- Sun Ah. Run away. She's hurt. - Wait.
Geun Ho.
One. Exhale.
Two. Exhale.
He started to talk then.
Did you think you could hide it forever?
My son didn't kill Ms. Jung. I did.
So Mr. Kwak said this.
Yes. He's the father...
of Officer Kwak Moo Chul at Angok Patrol Division.
You know that recordings without consent...
can't be admissible in court, right?
If this goes wrong, you could be punished.
What are you talking about? I'm the victim.
Okay.
- This is a misunderstanding. - Come on. This woman deceived me.
This is their plot against us.
Mark my words. You'll pay for this.
- No. Dad. - I got it. Let go of me.
Who killed Ms. Jung?
Who killed Sun Ah?
Just like we thought,
Mr. Kwak and Moo Chul...
were the culprits...
which Geun Ho had been telling us all along.
How were you able to get Mr. Kwak to confess?
I have no idea.
I was out of my mind then. Words just came out of my mouth.
By the way, if I didn't have the taser you got for me,
I could have been in danger.
Actually, it was a lie that the surveillance camera showed...
Moo Chul's reflection on the window of Geun Ho's house.
I don't know how I came up with that.
Dae Bum, why did you just let him punch you?
I don't know. I was out of my mind then too.
I wonder why Geun Ho only wrote the second consonants of his name.
They could have caught the culprit if he wrote his name clearly.
(Sunah Billiard Hall)
Is my dad here?
He went fishing with my dad.
Is that so?
So you've been solving difficult questions to show off.
Stop pretending you're studying.
- Give it back. - Hey.
My dad always scolds me because of you. Seriously.
Stupid.
Hey, what did you say?
Darn it. If you're stupid, at least be nice.
You little... How dare you call me stupid?
Hey. Put on a show when you're on TV.
I get that you're smart. But what? I'm stupid?
Hey. Get up.
Darn it.
(K, L)
Gyeoul. I'm sorry I was gone for so long.
Yeo Reum, I have to go somewhere tomorrow.
Can you stay here for the time being?
It won't take long, though.
Sure. I will.
(Discount Store)
I know it's hard to fully know a man.
But that * completely ruined our building.
Exactly.
Seriously. This world is a scary place.
Even after doing a heinous thing like that,
Moo Chul became a police officer.
Gosh. People are scary.
Chang Soo's family must have gone through a lot.
You should take care of them.
Dad, you feel bad too. Don't you?
I'm going to let them take over the building.
What? You'll sell it to Chang Soo?
Does Chang Soo want to buy that building?
I told him I would sell it at half price. Of course.
Gosh.
Dad! You're so cool. That was such a good idea!
Goodness. I want to thank you myself!
You punk. I shouldn't be getting a thank-you from you.
Seriously. Goodness. You fool.
Hello.
Hello. I know things have been tough for you too.
It's okay.
I hope you can move on and start your life again.
Thank you.
You're here, Yeo Reum. Sit here.
What brings you here?
Well,
everything you gave to me...
You should take them back.
I see. Are you moving out of the billiard hall?
Yes.
Actually, I just heard Chang Soo would buy the building.
- I see. That's great. - Right.
Well, you must be sick of this village...
and are itching to leave as soon as possible.
But I'm kind of sad that you'll be leaving.
Me too.
Bom must be the saddest one of us.
Well, Jung Hoon...
Bom's father messed things up again. So she must feel miserable now.
Did something happen to her?
Do better, okay?
- Yes. - Put them up on the third floor.
- Gosh. - Okay.
Go easy, boys. Do you have enough dough?
What? Where did the supporting posts go?
They were here.
Darn it. Is this how you do things on the site? Come on.
Hey, Kim! What are you doing?
Pardon?
Why are you carrying them up there?
You told me to put them on this floor!
I did? That dimwit. Come on.
Why would you put them on the third floor?
We have to work on them here! Darn it.
- But... - Come on. Bring them down now.
Okay. I'm sorry!
Look at this old man work.
How pathetic.
Hey, scoop up the rice when Dad gets here.
It will get cold.
Right.
Good. The rice came out nicely.
Come on. Just eat.
Rest up.
Enjoy.
I thought you wouldn't come, but you came.
Sir, let me pour you a drink.
Forget about the incident earlier.
I'm not so confident about your skills on the site.
But you can work with us next month as well.
Okay.
Don't be like that. Just have a drink.
The foreman is cutting you some slack today.
Don't drink it if you don't want to.
Sir, let me pour you a drink.
Gosh, you can drink!
Have another one. Here.
Bom.
Dad must have come home and left last night.
Bom.
Ha Neul.
Bom.
Ha Neul.
Yeo Reum.
Where were you?
I started work.
What about school?
But what brings you here? What about Bom?
Bom?
She left to see you yesterday.
You didn't see her?
Me?
She didn't call me.
When did she leave?
Yesterday morning.
Ha Neul, go to the police station and file a missing person's report.
And go to some places she might go and look for her.
Yeo Reum...
I'll look for her too.
Let's go.
Come.
- Passengers, this flight... - Bom.
- Take care. - is going to Frankfurt.
- I... - This is Flight 5410.
Please fasten your seatbelts.
Put all of your electronics...
such as smartphones on airplane mode.
Put your bags in the overhead compartment or under the seat.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to...
Dad.
(Jung Young Sook)
Grandma.
Please help me find Bom, so she won't do something...
she might regret.
Please.
I was wrong, Dad.
I'm sorry.
(General Repair)
(Sunah Billiard Hall)
Bom!
Bom.
Wake up.
Bom. Wake up.
Get up.
Are you okay?
Yeo Reum.
It's okay.
- Yeo Reum. - Okay.
You're okay.
I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - I'm sorry.
Yeo Reum.
Everything will be okay now.
You're okay.
That day, Dae Bum and Bom had the same face.
I felt as though I was looking into his well.
I decided to stay in Angok...
and start working again.
Just 4 and a half hours a day. I get paid 50,000 won.
And I work six days a week.
I start working at 4am.
Gosh, that scared me.
At first, having to wake up so early was stressful.
- But now, it's my favourite part. - Hello.
- Here's your milk. - This is for you.
- Thank you. - No problem.
It'd be depressing if your day ended at dawn,
but it's refreshing to start your day at dawn.
It feels so different that it's hard to believe...
it's the same time of day.
I get off work at 8:30am.
After that, I have the whole day to myself.
I work less to earn more time.
I'm renting Bom's place at the moment.
My monthly rent is 300,000 won. Even after paying that...
and taking care of my expenses, I still have money left,
so I've been saving little by little.
After Bom and Ha Neul go to school,
I go to the library every single day.
Hey, you have to update it every day before you leave.
Checkouts, returns, and the number of visitors.
I've told you several times that you shouldn't let them pile up.
Ji Young, she's the only one who comes to this library.
Why do I have to update it every day?
You complain too much.
What am I doing, stuck in a place like this?
Excuse me, miss.
Is there a real estate agency around here?
I'm not a woman.
These days, I'm very into copying books by hand.
I'm copying my favourite book at the moment.
I feel like it helps me empty my mind and fill my heart.
When I'm done at the library, we go for a run together.
We used to run first thing in the morning,
but Dae Bum suggested we run in the evening because of my schedule.
We normally talk and catch up while running.
Our routines are pretty much the same every day,
but we never run out of things to talk about.
These days, I really feel like...
Dae Bum is chattier than I am.
It's not as hard as it used to be.
I think you're now a better runner than I am.
Oh, maybe.
Okay. So now that you've reviewed it, what do you think?
I read this, and...
this was very interesting. The one you sent to me.
But...
Dae Bum is working with Professor Holland again.
If I calculate again...
Why is that?
Professor Holland said that he put family over work...
and suggested they work together but approach it as play.
Dae Bum was moved by that and decided to work with him.
No, I mean there was...
He said he felt like Professor Holland...
was teaching him how to work, step by step.
Well, I don't think it was difficult at all.
Actually, I have a problem that is much more difficult to solve.
Like what?
My wife!
- Yeo Reum. - Yes?
There's something I want to do with you.
What is it?
First, can you promise me that you'll do it with me?
I really don't think I can do it by myself.
What is it?
Don't get roped into it. Just ignore her.
Well...
It's this.
What's this?
(Webtoon Contest)
A webtoon contest?
Yes. Look, this is the best part.
The winner will get 100 million won. Amazing, right?
But why do you want to do this with me?
Think about it. I can draw pretty well, but I can't write.
You used to work at a publishing firm and read a lot.
So you can write the story while I draw...
No, no way.
You know that I'm totally afraid of writing.
Please, Yeo Reum.
You wrote about that lady you and Dae Bum interviewed together.
Well, this is totally different.
Just ignore her, Yeo Reum. Bom and her vain dreams.
Hey, you can't even draw well.
You little... What do you even know?
- I'll do the dishes. - You brat.
- Let's go, Gyeoul. - Yeo Reum, please. Let's do it.
Please, just this once.
No, no way. Eat your food already.
- Finish your food. - Yeo Reum, please do it with me!
Ji Young, what's up with you? Why eat here every day?
And can't you call me before you come?
Then I can bring more side dishes.
This is enough.
Gosh. I've found a place in Seoul, so I just need to move now.
Don't tell me you're here to ask me to help you pack.
Pack what?
Goodness. I even have boxes ready. I'll help you with my truck.
Don't worry.
What? I haven't even thought of that yet.
We're eating together.
Sorry.
You're better than your dad.
- Hello. - Oh, you're eating together.
Hey, what's up?
- Sung Min, I was wondering... - Why? Do you need my help?
No, it's not that.
I was wondering if you could give me the billiard hall girl's number.
Yeo Reum?
I'm glad I ran into you, Ms. Cho.
Could you relay my message to Dae Bum?
- Sure, what is it? - Well...
I haven't even had a chance to thank them properly,
so I want to invite them to my restaurant for dinner.
- My gosh, really? - That's a great idea!
But if you want to do this anyway,
how about you be a little more generous?
What? How?
Beef.
- Beef! - Beef!
- Joon, come and have some beef.
- Yes! - Nice!
I'll be off, then. Give me a call.
- Bye. - Bye.
Then let's take Ha Neul too.
Ha Neul? Why?
Just tell him to study.
Why?
What? He didn't even go to the valley with us.
He won't join us. He'll say he has to study.
- Oh, that reminds me. Bom. - Yes?
Do you...
not talk to Jae Hoon anymore?
Well, it's just that...
I was so surprised when I got this message.
(I'm leaving for the US, Yeo Reum. Please take good care of Bom.)
I don't know what happened between you two,
but Jae Hoon really likes you.
You know that, right?
Let's not talk about him, Yeo Reum.
Okay.
- Yeo Reum. - Yes?
I really hope we win the contest and get the 100 million won. Right?
What do you want to do with that money?
I miss Grandma.
If I join Bom as the writer,
she'll do so badly in the contest.
Come on.
I really am a terrible writer. You know that.
I'm not sure if I agree.
Come on.
To tell you the truth, I think we're very similar.
In what way?
When I'm solving math problems,
I get very nervous thinking I'd get them wrong.
But once, Professor Holland...
got something wrong and just said, "Oh, my gosh!"
- He was very casual about it. - Really?
You know...
I really enjoy talking about stuff like this with you, Dae Bum.
So I decided to join Bom as her writer.
Why is my mind drawing a blank?
Gyeoul, I'm going to develop a fear of staring at a blank screen.
But it was hard, of course.
What should I do, Gyeoul?
What?
It won't be good anyway, so just do it?
You're right.
How did you know exactly what to say?
Okay.
I might go to Hollywood at this rate.
Hollywood, my foot.
My gosh. Bom, I'm sorry!
Can you cash me out?
I'm not a genius.
Just accept it and start over.
I'm just an average person.
No, I may be slightly below average.
But trying every day.
That's all I can do.
- Oh, look at you. - Hey! You scared me.
When did you get home?
See? You're good. You were just being a crybaby.
What? You saw it? You didn't, right?
But don't you think she's too old?
I can't draw a story about a woman with a child.
Well, this is just... I was jotting down ideas to practice.
- This won't be our story. - Let me read a little more.
- Let me see. - No!
- Show me. - Oh, someone's here.
Who's here?
Who is it?
What? Jae Hoon!
Heo Jae Hoon.
Bom, Yeo Reum. Hi.
How have you been?
I thought you had left for the US.
I did.
But...
I did a lot of thinking once I arrived in the US and...
Hold on. So you went there and came back?
Yes. That's right, Bom.
I see.
While spending some time away from you,
I did a lot of self-reflection.
Hey, are you out of your mind?
The US isn't your neighbour’s house or something.
Do you even know how much it costs to fly there?
Let me talk, will you? Stop cutting me off.
Okay, sorry.
I thought a lot about my life.
"What is it that I truly want?"
"What should I live for?"
After long, careful consideration, I decided to come here.
Really? Why?
- Because I want to marry you. - What?
What? Marry me? Have you lost your mind?
Bom, so I need your honest answer.
Do you want me to go back to the US?
Hey, we're too young to get married.
I'm dead serious right now.
Stop avoiding me and tell me already.
Are you annoyed that I'm back?
I'm not annoyed, but...
How can we get married when we never even dated properly?
Really?
Then shall we date?
I wasn't asking you to marry me right now.
Hey, you're teasing me again. Do you have a death wish?
Jae Hoon.
Who is he?
- Well... - Hello.
I'm your future brother-in-law.
What are you talking about? You're so dead. "Brother-in-law?"
My future brother-in-law.
Stop, okay? You're so dead.
- Is it good? - It's so good.
- Of course, it's good. - Let's drink.
Dae Bum!
- We're here. - Oh! Yeo Reum!
- Hurry up, guys. - Come and sit down.
My gosh. You must be hungry.
- Thank you. - Everyone's here now.
- Joon, you too. Come and sit down. - It's a feast.
Right, Joon. Geun Ho will start school soon.
My gosh, that's amazing!
- Geun Ho will start school soon. - That's such good news!
How generous of her. Look at this perfectly marbled meat.
- Eat up. - Let's eat.
- Dig in.
- Yeo Reum, Dae Bum. - Yes.
I really wanted to thank the two of you.
- Don't worry about it. - Not at all.
Gosh, please. Eat as much as you want. Eat up.
- Thank you. - Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.
- Uncle Sung Min. - Yes?
I thought we were throwing this party for Yeo Reum and Dae Bum.
What's that?
My goodness!
Hey, it's nice to celebrate together on this happy day.
Let me read this aloud for you all.
Congratulations!
Ms. Cho Ji Young...
- is moving to Seoul. - Gosh, seriously...
Leave Angok!
- What's with him? - What's with him?
Joon, eat as much as you want!
Okay, I'll eat everything!
- Let's eat. - Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food! - Eat up.
How is it?
- It's so good. - Yes!
- Eat it before it gets cold. - Eat up.
Hey, try the meat.
- Thank you! - Here, have some more. Eat up.
- Thank you. - My gosh.
(Congratulations! Ms. Cho Ji Young is moving to Seoul.)
- You're good. - Nice!
- Hey, come on out! - Me?
I thought about the concept of happiness.
According to the dictionary,
happiness is a positive emotional state characterized...
by feelings such as contentment, joy, and life satisfaction.
I think it's too long. This is how I'd shorten it.
Happiness.
The state of not lacking anything.
I thought about today.
Feeling the chilly breeze against my face,
I rode my bike for as long as I wanted before the break of dawn.
It felt great.
And that's enough.
I was thirsty, so I drank water as soon as I got home.
It reminded me of Grandma, who said nothing tasted better than water.
She was right. It was just what I needed.
I like the sound I hear when I shake clean laundry before hanging it.
And I like smelling the lingering scent of the detergent on my hands.
I wouldn't change a thing.
The sunny windows at the library always make me sleepy,
so I dozed off for a moment.
It was a good nap. It was perfect.
It's always fun to stand in front of the books...
to decide what to read.
It's exciting.
("The Graceful Truth")
I wouldn't ask for anything else.
When Bom and I lie down to sleep,
we always giggle and laugh until our stomachs hurt.
Sometimes, we burst into laughter as soon as our eyes meet.
- In my class... - I wouldn't ask for anything else.
- What? - My classmate...
What do I do, Yeo Reum?
Bom.
You're okay.
- Bom told me this. - It's okay.
- You're okay. - That day, when I told her...
everything would be okay,
she felt that everything would really be okay somehow.
I felt the same.
After I told her it was okay,
I felt like everything would really be okay.
Oh, this breeze...
Yeo Reum. Autumn is really here. Right?
Yes, you're right.
This is so cool. Do you want to hear it?
What is it?
Spring, summer,
- autumn, - Autumn.
- winter. - Oh, you're right!
- We have the four seasons here. - My gosh!
Goodbye,
my first summer in Angok.
This feels really weird.
Hey, are you totally fine with me leaving?
Ji Young, waiting for you is my hobby and specialty.
I'll end up running off with another man.
- Sure. Go ahead if you want to. - Goodness.
Hey, you love to pick on me.
You'll never meet a better guy to pick on.
I pick on you because it's you.
I don't do this to anyone else.
No one else annoys me like you do.
Then marry someone else and get a divorce, like I did.
I wouldn't mind.
Get what?
What's the matter with you?
- Hey. - Have you lost your mind?
Ouch! You'll wake him up.
How could you say that in front of your son? Take it back!
Hey, he woke up.
- It's your fault! - Goodness.
What are you doing on your day off this week?
Why? Do you want to check out another restaurant?
No, let's go see Dae Ho.
What? Dae Ho?
You told me to befriend him.
Someone's growing up.
Here.
Go away.
Hey, what was that?
What? I wanted to try playing hard to get for once.
Gosh, I feel much better now.
You're playing hard to get?
How dare you. Don't you dare!
- I must say, it's fun. - Hey, come here!
Gyeoul, go bite him! Go!
Give Gyeoul back!
- Get back here! - Get her!
Gyeoul, bite him! You little...
Gyeoul, look at this! Look!
Hey, stop!
- Dae Bum. - Yes?
Do you not regret your decision to stay here?
No, I don't.
What about you?
Me neither.
This really is enough.
I still haven't figured out how I should live my life,
but this really is good enough.
I shall live.
