[theme song playing]
TYPHOON FAMILY
FV IMAGIN
[man] Push it to the edge!
Be careful.
Oh. Hi, is the captain here?
Captain! Sir!
[captain] What do you want?
Hello.
My name is Kang Tae-poong
of Typhoon Trading.
We wanted to ask you for a favor, sir.
Do you load different items on your ship,
such as shoes?
We have 5,000 safety shoes
that have to go.
Can you ship them to Mexico?
Did he just say yes?
-I think so.
-Right?
Boys.
-[Tae-poong] What did he say?
-[Mi-seon] What?
-Did you bring the proof of receipt?
-I don't have it.
-Whoa! What? Why?
-[Mi-seon yelps] Oh, my gosh.
You punks!
Can't you see I'm busy right now?
What are you waiting for? Throw more salt!
You guys are just unbelievable!
Watch out.
-Oh, my gosh.
-What did I do wrong?
Give that to me. Jeez.
Okay, we'll come back another time.
Don't ever come back, you punks!
-Get lost!
-We have to get the shoes on that ship.
You'll have to change your name
if you want to do that.
You bastard!
-Hey, punk.
-Where's our money?
Please give me two more days.
I swear I'll pay you back.
Please, I beg you.
-[goon] You bastard!
-[man sobbing] Please show mercy!
Please spare me!
-[sobbing] Please have mercy…
-[door opens and closes]
[sighs]
DEBT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM
[Dae-hyeop] Hey, Hyun-jun.
Do you know that thing I asked for?
-Your new position?
-Yes.
-Good job.
-Have a good day.
My job offer got canceled, and…
What good are friends for anyway?
-I'll put in a word with HR. Go see them.
-Really?
Are you…
are you sure I can really do that?
[relieved sigh] Seriously, thank you.
Mr. Pyo.
This is the CEO of Uriel.
He had a loan of five million
plus interest, which makes it 20 million.
Give it to him.
Can we please take our goods back?
We really need to get them delivered.
What are you…
I didn't get paid.
-[yells] Hey!
-Grab him!
-What are you doing? Stop!
-[glass objects shattering]
[CEO sobbing]
Do you know what you're doing?
Stop it!
-Get him out of here.
-You bastard!
-[Cha-ran] How many?
-Eleven stacks.
-[Cha-ran] A deep-sea fishing boat?
-[Tae-poong] Yes.
No.
-Why not?
-Isn't it obvious?
Who uses a fishing boat to load cargo?
Where were you all night?
What gave you such a crazy idea?
How much is this Danish money worth?
The krone was 253 won.
Is there no way to load it?
Forget all this nonsense
and stick with me, Ms. Oh.
I'll pay you three times more.
Absolutely not.
No.
There's nothing in the contract
about how we should make the delivery.
-They just need to verify the goods.
-That's right.
What's wrong with both of you? Huh?
That's smuggling!
[exasperated sigh]
-What's the name of the ship?
-The name was…
It was…
It was called FV Imagin.
-FV Imagin.
-[Cha-ran] What?
-[Mi-seon] FV Imagin.
-[mutters indistinctly]
Oh, my gosh.
My head hurts.
[dialing number]
[line ringing]
-[pleasantly] Hello? It's me.
-[exclaims]
I'm going to send two of my staff--
You want me to come too?
[sweetly] Sure.
PUSAN SIMYEONG SHIPPING
It's a herbal tea drink.
-[drink pouring]
-Do you have Dr Pepper?
Maybe not in Pusan.
They don't have any.
I'll make my own drink, the American way.
[laughing]
We're prepared to offer
compensation for your services.
What? "Compensation"?
How dare a woman speak up?
I'm about to lose my mind
because my engineer just ran off!
You think I'm going to budge
for chump change?
This is why I don't deal with boat guys.
"Boat guys"?
How dare you spout
that ignorant, sexist nonsense?
-You're a disgrace!
-[captain laughs]
[Cha-ran] Kang Tae-poong.
-Yes?
-Kaiser was not like this.
He was a great man.
[laughing] Kaiser?
Who's that? What a funny name.
Don't you know your father's name?
-He was Kaiser Kang.
-[captain gasps]
This kid is Kaiser's son?
He looks just like him.
Stand up, kid.
I said, stand up.
Attention!
At ease.
Attention! At ease.
Attention!
At ease, attention, at ease, attention!
At ease.
[exclaims dismissively] He's no good.
Is it true?
Why are you making me do this?
[chuckles] Your father and I shared meals,
boarded the same ship,
and even caught some tuna together--
[Cha-ran] Sure, you went to the sauna.
We get it.
So, what can you do for him?
But even if my ship goes
all the way to Mexico,
what are you going to do there?
You guys don't realize it,
but even with a local broker,
something is bound to go wrong
if they send the goods from there.
-Are you aware of that?
-What if I went on the ship?
[tapping table] What about Bo-ram?
She'll be okay.
It would be helpful to you
if I were to board that ship.
Do you have a marine engineer license?
I graduated
from Yeongdo Maritime University.
I've never worked on fishing boats,
only two tours on oil tankers,
but I got off
because I didn't want to do nine months.
Looks like I'll be on it for two years.
[captain] Aside from that,
there's one more problem.
How are we going
to get 5,000 safety shoes…
onto a ship?
[Tae-poong claps]
I will…
figure out a way to make that happen.
Auntie.
-Do you still have sea eel?
-At this hour?
Isn't two years too long?
This is all my fault.
It's the least I could do.
What about your daughter?
I'll send her to her mom's.
She's young,
but I'm sure she'll understand.
Mr. Park.
Just stick it out for the long haul.
You'll end up
with many more opportunities in life.
That's exactly my plan.
That way,
I'll be able to repay all this kindness.
My point exactly.
[chuckles softly]
But what exactly is Kang Tae-poong
planning to do?
Can he actually load those safety shoes?
There are so many of them.
That's what I'm worried about too.
[suspenseful music playing]
CRAB AND OTHER SEAFOOD
We have crabs and other seafood!
[woman] He's here!
Let's get to work.
[lively pop music playing]
[grunts] Be careful.
[woman speaking indistinctly]
It's heavy. Careful.
Here, be careful.
You're coming to our ship.
[music continues]
[cheerful groovy song playing]
[imperceptible]
[man] That's all of it.
Take a look.
[speaking indistinctly]
CRAB AND OTHER SEAFOOD
Come on, get up here!
-I'm coming up, Captain!
-Hurry up.
[grunts]
[panting] You should keep living life
your own way.
Sorry?
Even if you've got no money nor dignity,
all you need is someone by your side.
No matter how much the world changes,
in the end, it's still people
who will live in that world.
-We're all the same after all.
-[speaks indistinctly]
-You can bring that here.
-[person] Okay.
[Mi-seon] Thank you.
[Cha-ran] Here, you dummy.
Thank you.
Are the shoes okay?
"Shoes that are strong even in sub-zero
temperatures, Shoe Park's Safety Shoes."
-[Cha-ran] Is that so?
-[Yun-cheol] Yes, look.
The sun's rising! Let's get a move on!
-My own way?
-Your own way.
-[both laugh]
-My own way!
[song continues]
[Tae-poong]
Are you really sure about this?
There are people who bet their own life
for a complete stranger.
-But what about Bo-ram?
-I've taken care of it.
Shoe Park is like my child too.
I should take responsibility.
Don't worry about me.
Mr. Kang.
I am truly sorry
for everything up till now,
and I am truly grateful.
When we meet again in two years,
I promise to be someone
you can look up to.
Come on. [laughs]
Stop being so sappy.
-But you were really cool today.
-You think so?
[in English] "One more thing."
[in Korean] I never did that.
You were the one who emphasized
that we had five patents.
Shoe Park's…
[both] Safety Shoes.
That was cool.
[police siren wailing]
What's that sound?
A siren?
It's the cops. We need to hide.
-Over there.
-Wait…
[police car honking]
[officer, over PA] Attention, FV Imagin.
Please hold your departure.
You are forbidden from setting sail.
Get off the ship, Tae-poong!
-Me?
-Get off!
I have to get out of here.
[officer] Please stop what you're doing.
Please hold your departure.
You are forbidden from setting sail.
[siren continues wailing]
[police whistle blows]
Go through there.
What's going on?
-Where is he?
-What do we do?
[captain] Hello, sir. Is something wrong?
We got a report that suspicious items
may have been loaded onto your ship.
[exclaims] All this over a report?
We have to depart right now.
Please show me the crew members' IDs
and the departure declaration form.
[captain] Gather round, everyone!
Get your IDs and passports out!
-Come on, hurry up.
-[crew member] Seriously?
[whispering] Cover me.
[captain] Come on!
Let's see.
-Please take your hat off.
-Jeez.
Someone reported you for smuggling drugs.
That's ridiculous!
It's hardly worth the risk.
Park Yun-cheol.
[captain] But, Officer,
who's going to take responsibility
if we can't sail because of this?
Goodness, should I call
our company or what?
[chuckles nervously] We're just checking.
What are you waiting for? Move!
That's me.
You're good.
[dramatic music playing]
[Yun-cheol] Thank you for your hard work.
Mr. Kang.
What's going on?
They can't go that way.
What if they stop us from departing?
I'll figure something out, so stop them.
-Stop them?
-Go.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Would you like a cup of coffee
before you go?
I'll make a nice cup for everyone.
The captain said you guys
are working so hard
and insisted you stay for coffee.
[tense music playing]
[grunts]
-I'll make--
-There's nothing there.
-I'll check over there.
-Hurry up.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Hey!
Hey!
It's been a while since I've done this!
I'm getting high!
[captain] Stop right there!
What is that?
-What?
-Over there!
What?
What is that?
Look over there.
Is that Mr. Kang?
[Tae-poong] Hey!
-[upbeat rock song playing]
-I wanted a deep-sea fishing boat,
but a tanker is fine too!
Whoo!
I'm going all out tonight!
-I'm getting high!
-[officer] That little…
Calling Seagull Three!
Drug suspect sighted!
Requesting backup!
-Huh?
-What's he doing?
I'm so high!
[men clamoring]
Is he doing drugs?
No, he's eating it.
[captain] No wonder he had
a weird look in his eyes.
He's an absolute lunatic.
[song continues]
[yells]
Is that flour?
What the…
Did he starve or something?
Why is he eating that?
That's how people do drugs.
FLOUR
This is amazing!
It's amazing! Whoo!
Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!
[officer] Calling Seagull Three!
The incident has been resolved.
Cancel backup.
Captain.
I'm sorry for keeping you.
We have plenty of time,
so we'll get ready to set sail now.
Come on, crew!
-Let's go back to the sea!
-[men] Yes, sir.
[Tae-poong] I'm so high!
Whoo!
Shoe Park's Safety Shoes.
[song continues]
[relieved sigh]
-[song ends]
-Gosh.
-Who are you?
-Hello.
-I must've scared you. I--
-Come here.
-Okay, I--
-Come here.
-Come here.
-Wait.
Please listen to me.
-Captain!
-Wait, please.
-Hold on.
-Captain.
-Just a minute.
-[captain] What is it?
Hello, Captain. I'm Kang Tae-poong.
I must've scared you.
I got on here by accident.
You're a suspicious guy.
I'm not.
This white powder isn't drugs. It's flour.
I'm not a suspicious guy.
Shut your mouth!
-Please let me get off--
-I told you to shut up.
-[muffled grunting]
-Nice!
Let's see.
I'll teach you a lesson.
[muffled protest]
[boat engine whirring]
[dramatic music playing]
Who the heck are those guys?
[Hui-gyu] There you are.
What do you want? Huh?
I'm Ryu Hui-gyu.
Hey, mister.
That one's mine,
so let him go.
[Tae-poong mumbles]
[Tae-poong exclaims]
[groans]
Did you load all the shoes?
Jeez.
[Tae-poong grunts]
Did you come because you were worried?
With that kid?
That bastard is such a pain.
Give me a hand.
[scoffs]
[Hyun-jun] Tae-poong.
I came for your eyes.
[retching]
I asked if you loaded them.
-How did you find me?
-I know everything that happens in Pusan.
Then why are you asking?
-You bastard.
-Hold on.
I want to do it.
Don't you want to go back?
Do you hate me too?
I hate you, you bastard.
Beg for your life.
Is that what you want?
"Please spare me."
Please kill me
if you don't want your money.
The sea is still cold.
Can you even last one minute?
Do it.
But if you can't kill me now,
you'll never be able to kill me.
[chuckling]
[tense music playing]
[chuckles] Is that so?
I won't get the money if I kill you now.
[Tae-poong grunts]
Hold on. That's it?
Hey!
Do you think I came here just for that?!
If I give you that money,
will you kill him?
How much?
How much will it take?
Are you that rich?
Then…
How much will your father pay for this?
What are you saying, you thug?
Have you lost your mind?
My dad won't pay you.
If you send him my ear,
he'll kill all of you.
[amusing music playing]
See you.
Get out of my way, please.
That's salt water!
Jeez, salt water!
It's fake anyway, so who cares?
Come on, you should get the authentic one.
Damn it.
Bring this to the dry cleaner's,
Manager Ha!
Where is he? I don't see him.
I'm so worried.
Where did he go?
What if he fell off that boat earlier?
What?
This is weird.
[dramatic music playing]
Hey!
-What are you doing? Are you crazy?
-I should go look for him!
No, you're going to die out there!
I'm a good swimmer.
-No!
-He can't swim.
What if he drowns?
-[Cha-ran] Let's just wait!
-[Mi-seon] I can't!
Who else is going to save him?
[Tae-poong shouting] Hey!
Over here!
I'm here!
Over here!
I'm right here!
[dramatic music continues]
Hey!
-I made it back in one piece!
-Mr. Kang!
[music stops]
Why do you make me worried sick?
-I was so scared.
-Well…
[amusing music playing]
[sighs deeply]
Get a room, you two.
Ms. Oh.
[Mi-seon] I'm sorry.
You always manage to surprise me.
I was just so worried.
-I'm sorry.
-You're more reckless.
[Cha-ran] Are you okay?
-Are you returning to Seoul?
-I should go check on Bo-ram.
Don't worry, I'll take care of her.
[exclaims jovially]
Didn't you tell me to mind my own business
because the world is cold?
Even if the world is cold,
you should still be kind.
I'm off.
You'd better call me
when you have raw fish next time.
[both] We will.
-Take care.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you for everything.
-Put your shoes on.
-Yes.
-You're not hurt, are you?
-No.
-Here are your shoes.
-I'll put them on.
The goods should arrive safely, right?
They just have to cross the border.
What happened to your hand?
Did you get hurt?
It's from when I was trying
to get the tube earlier.
-Why would you--
-I'm fine.
It's not that bad.
Ms. Oh.
I think I like you.
Pardon?
-You look dirty and scruffy now.
-[theme song playing]
But you're beautiful.
[scoffs shyly]
[laughs nervously]
You're not so clean yourself right now.
Now that I think about it,
you always look the same,
but you're becoming lovelier.
You're cute when you're mad,
and when you smile…
you're beautiful.
What are you talking about?
-This is so sudden.
-That's it.
I like you, Ms. Oh.
-That's why you're pretty.
-[chuckles shyly]
What are you saying right now?
You should go take a nap.
I think you're sleep-deprived.
[Tae-poong] Maybe you're right.
[Mi-seon] Go take a nap.
[theme song continues]
[Seon-taek grunting] This is so heavy.
-[luggage thuds]
-[grunts]
[sighs wearily]
[groans]
[luggage wheels clattering softly]
[sighs]
[sighs out of despair]
[Tae-poong]
What made those days more painful was
that the most basic things
were stripped away.
There was no way
to know who was to blame for it all.
No.
No one could even think
about such things back then.
[man 1] Why isn't the car coming?
-[man 2] It's freezing.
-[man 3] Excuse me.
-Passing through.
-[men] Whoa!
-Watch it.
-Sorry about that.
[man 4] Is that it?
[man 5] There it is.
This is the last car for today. Get in!
[men clamoring]
Hey, you!
Don't push!
[man 6 shouting indistinctly]
[melancholy music playing]
[yawning]
1,000 PAST EXAM QUESTIONS
[Tae-poong] We had to get through
impossibly difficult days…
-[Ma-jin] Honey!
-[nurse] We're almost there.
[sobbing]
We're nearly there.
INFANT VISITATION HOURS
[chuckles softly]
[melancholy music continues]
[Tae-poong]
…and find a way to keep our families safe.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Tae-poong] The only thing we needed
was some kind of sign,
however small…
-[clears throat]
-…that tomorrow would come,
-and that we weren't alone.
-[sighs heavily]
[woman] You can use this here.
Oh, dear.
-You're done already?
-Yes.
Look at you. You now seem like
a true seamstress.
What are you working on?
Uh, I'm fixing
my youngest son's gym uniform.
[woman] Oh, your son would love that.
EPISODE 7
THE MEANING OF LIFE
-I win.
-No, I win! [screams]
Hi! Jjuggu!
-Jjuggu!
-It's Jjuggu!
-[kid] Jjuggu!
-[Mi-ho] Be careful with your hands.
[Mi-ho] Whoo!
There we go.
Look up.
You're supposed to say hello
when you see someone.
[scoffs] This tiny house is
way too crowded. Isn't that right?
How come no matter how much I wash myself,
I don't smell as good as Ji-hun?
What?
Don't be ridiculous.
You're squeaky clean.
-Who else washes you--
-Move.
[gasps] Whoa!
Come closer.
There we go. Good job.
Let's see.
Okay, give me your face.
Good boy.
Here you go.
Clean behind the ears.
Tip your head back. There we go.
You have to clean thoroughly
if you don't want to smell.
Good job. Look down.
You're doing so good. Great job.
Attaboy.
[Jeong-mi giggles]
There we go. All clean.
You look like a prince.
Look at our little prince. [laughs]
Hey!
[thug] What the heck are you doing?
You could've just wired it.
We're here to get
our debt acknowledgement form back.
Is that so?
I should give it back.
[Western movie music playing]
So you have something
you're scared of now.
Right?
Let's go.
-[door opens]
-[thug] Crazy punk.
[door closes]
[music continues]
[Bak-ho] What did you say?
Manager Ha!
What on earth were you doing?!
We're just trying
to handle things ourselves.
[Bak-ho] Do you know
how much damage you caused?
Thanks to you, our ship will leave
with an empty container.
Now we have to pay damages
to the buyer in secret,
not to mention late fees as well!
-Do you know how much that is?
-Dad.
That thug said if Tae-poong
doesn't bring the money,
he'll kill him
and give me Tae-poong's goods.
Isn't that efficient?
But Kang Tae-poong made money
while you lost our company's money!
Why do you only care about the result?
Think about the progress.
I really tried my best.
You're always going on and on
about that darn Typhoon Trading!
You're always raving about them.
Do you even…
Do you have what it takes
to take Kang Tae-poong down?
Do you?
You punk!
You're not in the same league as him!
I set up that trading company you wanted,
so stop trying to copy Kang Tae-poong.
Call your aunt and ask her to send over
some useful goods from the States.
Your mom's family has good taste.
Get out.
-You!
-Yes, sir!
-Take him outside.
-Yes, sir.
Let's go. Whoa.
Come on, let's go.
Jeez.
Have a good day, sir.
[door closes]
[exhales]
-Hi.
-How was the expo, Mr. Kang?
There were a lot of good items,
but they don't really match our vibe.
Take a look at this.
Electronics and chemical products.
[Mi-seon] Mmm…
EXPORT EXPO INFORMATION
The bigger trading companies
handle those, don't they?
I suppose so.
I shouldn't have repaid
the full amount to that loan shark.
Never get involved
with people like that again.
Even after our losses, we have a lot left.
Mr. Bae.
Are you studying, Mr. Bae?
EXAM QUESTIONS
EXORCISM CHRONICLES
Can you please respect my privacy?
Gosh.
Are you crying?
My gosh, he's really crying.
-[pager beeping]
-[Song-jung] Life is so hard.
-[Mi-seon] What?
-[crying]
Here's some tissue.
[Geum-ok] We have a lot of
good-looking folks today. [laughs]
KING DIAMONDS IS THE WAY TO GO!
SPECIAL LECTURE BY KIM GEUM-OK
Things are really tough these days, right?
-[all] Yes!
-I'm sure it's very difficult.
-[woman 1] It's so tough.
-[Geum-ok] Aww!
-But you know, I'm not struggling at all.
-[people gasp, murmur]
I can't help but laugh
because I'm so excited and happy.
Why, you ask?
Is it because 30 million won is deposited
into my bank account every month?
[people gasping]
KING DIAMONDS INCOME
KING LIFE SUCCESS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
[person] That's incredible.
[people murmuring in admiration]
[Eul-nyeo] Thirty million won…
-Wow.
-No, this isn't what makes me happy.
I'm truly happy
because all of you can become like me.
[all cheering]
[woman 2] We can do it!
[Geum-ok] Are we all alone in this?
-Is that how Koreans are?
-[all] No.
No, we're not.
We need to stick together
and overcome this.
What is that called? Networking?
[all] Marketing!
[Geum-ok] It's called marketing.
What did I say IMF stands for?
[in English] "I'm fine!"
[Geum-ok, in Korean] Exactly.
[in English] I'm fine!
[in Korean] All of you can become Rubies,
Sapphires, and a Diamond like me.
-[people murmuring]
-Let's earn 30 million won a month,
send those disobedient kids
overseas for school,
and gloat about it
to our annoying neighbor!
[all cheering]
[man over megaphone] Our country
is in danger because of the IMF!
We need your help, everyone!
Please participate
in the Gold Collection Effort.
Our country is in danger
because of the IMF!
Please participate
in the Gold Collection Effort.
[man over recording]
We must revive our country.
The country is in danger.
[Jeong-mi sighs]
Lucky them, having gold to contribute.
[man over recording]
We must revive our country.
-[clerk] Please fall in line.
-[man over recording] Please donate
any gold you're not using.
Let's gather our small efforts…
Who am I to help, given my situation?
We must revive our country.
Let's gather our small efforts
and revive our country.
Please donate any gold you're not using.
Our country is in danger.
Let's gather our small efforts
and revive our country.
You'll be proud of me, right, honey?
Please donate any gold you're not using.
Let's gather our small efforts…
[reporter] A cold, chilling wave worse
than the winter air has crashed over us,
but our people's passion for the nation
is burning brightly this new year.
What were your thoughts
as you brought your treasured gold?
I don't know.
As a proud citizen,
what would you like to say?
I'm a mess right now.
"The country's a mess right now."
What kind of a mess is it?
Stop it.
Stop! I can't let the other ladies
see me like this!
-[man] What's wrong with her?
-Let's go over there.
Stop it.
[reporter] Are you sad to let go of your
gold turtle and your gold medal of honor?
The people are struggling just to survive.
What good will these do in my closet?
We have to save the country first.
As you can see,
true heroes exist all around the world,
no matter the era or their age.
-There you are.
-Hey.
[in English] Oh, thank you.
[can opens]
We should've gone for some good food.
[groans] I don't like crowded places.
Is your mother doing well?
Probably.
I don't really know either.
Right now, it's every man for himself.
Hey, my family went under too.
Jeez.
I know, dude.
Even without friends,
rumors still spread like wildfire.
Sorry I couldn't go to the funeral.
And I swear I'll kill
that bastard Pyo Hyun-jun someday.
[laughing] You're crazy.
[sighs deeply] Yun-seong.
There are just too many
terrible people out there.
It's too exhausting
trying to hate all of them.
So, let's just think about
the people we want by our side.
Okay?
Hold on.
-What did you bring this time?
-Just hold on.
I said you don't have to.
Here.
[Tae-poong] What's this?
It's what I've been making these days.
I work at a helmet factory.
It's popular in Europe and the US.
So my boss made a fortune
and became rich even during this crisis.
-[sighs] Lucky him.
-Right?
Hey.
Whatever you do, just stay safe.
Once you get that look in your eyes,
it's all over.
Once I save up,
I'll get some used machinery
and start making screws.
I told you.
I'm going to pay you back.
-I said you don't have to pay me back.
-Of course not. It's chump change.
-I should go.
-Wait.
I'm going first.
This is the first product I sold.
-Stay safe.
-What is it?
Got it? Throw this away for me.
-Hey!
-See you.
See you next time.
He hasn't changed at all.
[sighs]
[sighs]
This is nice.
Jeez…
[Yun-seong] I got my paycheck.
I wanted to pay you back first.
Thanks.

-What are you doing?
-Ah.
I want to sell this.
-A helmet?
-Yes.
It's apparently
the number one helmet in the US.
But I don't know where to begin.
I really want
to sell them properly this time,
but I can't use a fishing ship again.
[Tae-poong sighs]
[Seon-taek laughing]
-Oh, my.
-Hey.
You're finally all here.
Ms. Cha, what brings you here?
My gosh.
Here.
CHOROK FARM GREEN JUICE
Of course you don't know.
You never learned this.
You should've had your shoes
inspected by Go Ma-jin first.
My shoes? Why?
[Seon-taek] Put your foot up.
Look here, at the toe.
Is it polished until it shines?
It's your mindset when meeting a client.
Now, the heel.
How worn down is it?
Does it show you've been running around?
[Song-jung] That's so old-fashioned.
[Seon-taek] What's he doing here?
[gasps] How many have you had?
-You're only drinking the ginseng too.
-I've been feeling weak lately.
Jeez.
Drink it then.
-Thank you.
-Three.
CHOROK FARM ORDER FORM
QUANTITY: 3
[Seon-taek] There we go.
Well, Mr. Go has been in sales
for a long time.
Mr. Go may sound rough,
but he was great at his job.
QUANTITY: 2
[sucks teeth, clears throat]
QUANTITY: 4
-We only need two.
-Guys.
Nothing in life is free.
Not age nor experience,
and certainly not green juice.
You're right.
Work isn't something you can do alone.
-[woman] Hey.
-[Tae-poong] Yes?
You should keep living life your own way.
Sorry?
Even if you've got no money nor dignity,
all you need is someone by your side.
You need people by your side.
[Seon-taek] Oh!
Excuse me.
[exhales]
Pardon me.

[panting]
Go and eat first, Dad.
Dad?
You need to eat better.
Let's go and eat a proper meal.
Dad?
You're so stingy.
Seriously, so stingy.
You don't even have time
to see your grandkid.
My wife didn't
want you skipping any meals.
I'm off.
Stop eating that.
I'm off.
[grunts]
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Why are you giving this to me?
Don't make your wife work.
She just had a baby.
[huffs]
[mutters indistinctly]
Thank…
Whoa.
What brings you here all of a sudden?
What are you trying to get me to do now?
We're now
going to export goods.
Export? I see. That's good these days.
But you need the right item.
Do you have someone in sales
at the company?
Well…
Ms. Oh is in charge.
She's now a senior staff member.
Ah, I see, Ms. Oh…
Okay, good luck.
You should join us.
[exhales]
With what?
We have the right item.
But I don't know how to start.
So, please teach me how to do my job.
No, I need to make money.
My second child was just born.
I need to make money too.
This is the only way how.
Your company is nothing but a name now.
It's still nice
having a company.
Here.
And I have you too.
What's this? What are you doing?
You have to bring that helmet
to the office tomorrow, got it?
We're in big trouble if you don't, okay?
Promise you will!

Thailand.
It's only been two years
since helmets became mandatory.
The law is going to be
much stricter this year.
When will the items arrive?
[Ma-jin] Who cares?
Mr. Kang and I will be going anyway,
so it doesn't matter.
[Mi-seon] I work in sales too.
[Ma-jin] What can you do?
[Tae-poong]
Where do you make these connections?
[man] The youngsters these days
call it a club.
-The Nihakham Group heir will be there.
-[in English] Oh, hi.
[in Thai] Typhoon company?
[Tae-poong, in Korean] Who are you?
Why are you arresting us?
Ms. Oh!

TYPHOON FAMILY
FV IMAGIN
[man] Push it to the edge!
Be careful.
Oh. Hi, is the captain here?
Captain! Sir!
[captain] What do you want?
Hello.
My name is Kang Tae-poong
of Typhoon Trading.
We wanted to ask you for a favor, sir.
Do you load different items on your ship,
such as shoes?
We have 5,000 safety shoes
that have to go.
Can you ship them to Mexico?
Did he just say yes?
-I think so.
-Right?
Boys.
-[Tae-poong] What did he say?
-[Mi-seon] What?
-Did you bring the proof of receipt?
-I don't have it.
-Whoa! What? Why?
-[Mi-seon yelps] Oh, my gosh.
You punks!
Can't you see I'm busy right now?
What are you waiting for? Throw more salt!
You guys are just unbelievable!
Watch out.
-Oh, my gosh.
-What did I do wrong?
Give that to me. Jeez.
Okay, we'll come back another time.
Don't ever come back, you punks!
-Get lost!
-We have to get the shoes on that ship.
You'll have to change your name
if you want to do that.
You bastard!
-Hey, punk.
-Where's our money?
Please give me two more days.
I swear I'll pay you back.
Please, I beg you.
-[goon] You bastard!
-[man sobbing] Please show mercy!
Please spare me!
-[sobbing] Please have mercy…

DEBT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FORM
[Dae-hyeop] Hey, Hyun-jun.
Do you know that thing I asked for?
-Your new position?
-Yes.
-Good job.
-Have a good day.
My job offer got canceled, and…
What good are friends for anyway?
-I'll put in a word with HR. Go see them.
-Really?
Are you…
are you sure I can really do that?
[relieved sigh] Seriously, thank you.
Mr. Pyo.
This is the CEO of Uriel.
He had a loan of five million
plus interest, which makes it 20 million.
Give it to him.
Can we please take our goods back?
We really need to get them delivered.
What are you…
I didn't get paid.
-[yells] Hey!
-Grab him!
-What are you doing? Stop!
-[glass objects shattering]
[CEO sobbing]
Do you know what you're doing?
Stop it!
-Get him out of here.
-You bastard!
-[Cha-ran] How many?
-Eleven stacks.
-[Cha-ran] A deep-sea fishing boat?
-[Tae-poong] Yes.
No.
-Why not?
-Isn't it obvious?
Who uses a fishing boat to load cargo?
Where were you all night?
What gave you such a crazy idea?
How much is this Danish money worth?
The krone was 253 won.
Is there no way to load it?
Forget all this nonsense
and stick with me, Ms. Oh.
I'll pay you three times more.
Absolutely not.
No.
There's nothing in the contract
about how we should make the delivery.
-They just need to verify the goods.
-That's right.
What's wrong with both of you? Huh?
That's smuggling!
[exasperated sigh]
-What's the name of the ship?
-The name was…
It was…
It was called FV Imagin.
-FV Imagin.
-[Cha-ran] What?
-[Mi-seon] FV Imagin.
-[mutters indistinctly]
Oh, my gosh.
My head hurts.
[dialing number]
[line ringing]
-[pleasantly] Hello? It's me.
-[exclaims]
I'm going to send two of my staff--
You want me to come too?
[sweetly] Sure.
PUSAN SIMYEONG SHIPPING
It's a herbal tea drink.
-[drink pouring]
-Do you have Dr Pepper?
Maybe not in Pusan.
They don't have any.
I'll make my own drink, the American way.
[laughing]
We're prepared to offer
compensation for your services.
What? "Compensation"?
How dare a woman speak up?
I'm about to lose my mind
because my engineer just ran off!
You think I'm going to budge
for chump change?
This is why I don't deal with boat guys.
"Boat guys"?
How dare you spout
that ignorant, sexist nonsense?
-You're a disgrace!
-[captain laughs]
[Cha-ran] Kang Tae-poong.
-Yes?
-Kaiser was not like this.
He was a great man.
[laughing] Kaiser?
Who's that? What a funny name.
Don't you know your father's name?
-He was Kaiser Kang.
-[captain gasps]
This kid is Kaiser's son?
He looks just like him.
Stand up, kid.
I said, stand up.
Attention!
At ease.
Attention! At ease.
Attention!
At ease, attention, at ease, attention!
At ease.
[exclaims dismissively] He's no good.
Is it true?
Why are you making me do this?
[chuckles] Your father and I shared meals,
boarded the same ship,
and even caught some tuna together--
[Cha-ran] Sure, you went to the sauna.
We get it.
So, what can you do for him?
But even if my ship goes
all the way to Mexico,
what are you going to do there?
You guys don't realize it,
but even with a local broker,
something is bound to go wrong
if they send the goods from there.
-Are you aware of that?
-What if I went on the ship?
[tapping table] What about Bo-ram?
She'll be okay.
It would be helpful to you
if I were to board that ship.
Do you have a marine engineer license?
I graduated
from Yeongdo Maritime University.
I've never worked on fishing boats,
only two tours on oil tankers,
but I got off
because I didn't want to do nine months.
Looks like I'll be on it for two years.
[captain] Aside from that,
there's one more problem.
How are we going
to get 5,000 safety shoes…
onto a ship?
[Tae-poong claps]
I will…
figure out a way to make that happen.
Auntie.
-Do you still have sea eel?
-At this hour?
Isn't two years too long?
This is all my fault.
It's the least I could do.
What about your daughter?
I'll send her to her mom's.
She's young,
but I'm sure she'll understand.
Mr. Park.
Just stick it out for the long haul.
You'll end up
with many more opportunities in life.
That's exactly my plan.
That way,
I'll be able to repay all this kindness.
My point exactly.
[chuckles softly]
But what exactly is Kang Tae-poong
planning to do?
Can he actually load those safety shoes?
There are so many of them.
That's what I'm worried about too.

CRAB AND OTHER SEAFOOD
We have crabs and other seafood!
[woman] He's here!
Let's get to work.
[lively pop music playing]

[woman speaking indistinctly]
It's heavy. Careful.
Here, be careful.
You're coming to our ship.
[music continues]
[cheerful groovy song playing]
[imperceptible]
[man] That's all of it.
Take a look.
[speaking indistinctly]
CRAB AND OTHER SEAFOOD
Come on, get up here!
-I'm coming up, Captain!
-Hurry up.
[grunts]
[panting] You should keep living life
your own way.
Sorry?
Even if you've got no money nor dignity,
all you need is someone by your side.
No matter how much the world changes,
in the end, it's still people
who will live in that world.
-We're all the same after all.
-[speaks indistinctly]
-You can bring that here.
-[person] Okay.
[Mi-seon] Thank you.
[Cha-ran] Here, you dummy.
Thank you.
Are the shoes okay?
"Shoes that are strong even in sub-zero
temperatures, Shoe Park's Safety Shoes."
-[Cha-ran] Is that so?
-[Yun-cheol] Yes, look.
The sun's rising! Let's get a move on!
-My own way?
-Your own way.
-[both laugh]
-My own way!
[song continues]
[Tae-poong]
Are you really sure about this?
There are people who bet their own life
for a complete stranger.
-But what about Bo-ram?
-I've taken care of it.
Shoe Park is like my child too.
I should take responsibility.
Don't worry about me.
Mr. Kang.
I am truly sorry
for everything up till now,
and I am truly grateful.
When we meet again in two years,
I promise to be someone
you can look up to.
Come on. [laughs]
Stop being so sappy.
-But you were really cool today.
-You think so?
[in English] "One more thing."
[in Korean] I never did that.
You were the one who emphasized
that we had five patents.
Shoe Park's…
[both] Safety Shoes.
That was cool.
[police siren wailing]
What's that sound?
A siren?
It's the cops. We need to hide.
-Over there.
-Wait…
[police car honking]
[officer, over PA] Attention, FV Imagin.
Please hold your departure.
You are forbidden from setting sail.
Get off the ship, Tae-poong!
-Me?
-Get off!
I have to get out of here.
[officer] Please stop what you're doing.
Please hold your departure.
You are forbidden from setting sail.
[siren continues wailing]
[police whistle blows]
Go through there.
What's going on?
-Where is he?
-What do we do?
[captain] Hello, sir. Is something wrong?
We got a report that suspicious items
may have been loaded onto your ship.
[exclaims] All this over a report?
We have to depart right now.
Please show me the crew members' IDs
and the departure declaration form.
[captain] Gather round, everyone!
Get your IDs and passports out!
-Come on, hurry up.
-[crew member] Seriously?
[whispering] Cover me.
[captain] Come on!
Let's see.
-Please take your hat off.
-Jeez.
Someone reported you for smuggling drugs.
That's ridiculous!
It's hardly worth the risk.
Park Yun-cheol.
[captain] But, Officer,
who's going to take responsibility
if we can't sail because of this?
Goodness, should I call
our company or what?
[chuckles nervously] We're just checking.
What are you waiting for? Move!
That's me.
You're good.
[dramatic music playing]
[Yun-cheol] Thank you for your hard work.
Mr. Kang.
What's going on?
They can't go that way.
What if they stop us from departing?
I'll figure something out, so stop them.
-Stop them?
-Go.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Would you like a cup of coffee
before you go?
I'll make a nice cup for everyone.
The captain said you guys
are working so hard
and insisted you stay for coffee.
[tense music playing]
[grunts]
-I'll make--
-There's nothing there.
-I'll check over there.
-Hurry up.
Stop!
What are you doing?
Hey!
Hey!
It's been a while since I've done this!
I'm getting high!
[captain] Stop right there!
What is that?
-What?
-Over there!
What?
What is that?
Look over there.
Is that Mr. Kang?
[Tae-poong] Hey!
-[upbeat rock song playing]
-I wanted a deep-sea fishing boat,
but a tanker is fine too!
Whoo!
I'm going all out tonight!
-I'm getting high!
-[officer] That little…
Calling Seagull Three!
Drug suspect sighted!
Requesting backup!
-Huh?
-What's he doing?
I'm so high!
[men clamoring]
Is he doing drugs?
No, he's eating it.
[captain] No wonder he had
a weird look in his eyes.
He's an absolute lunatic.
[song continues]
[yells]
Is that flour?
What the…
Did he starve or something?
Why is he eating that?
That's how people do drugs.
FLOUR
This is amazing!
It's amazing! Whoo!
Oh, my gosh.
Whoo!
[officer] Calling Seagull Three!
The incident has been resolved.
Cancel backup.
Captain.
I'm sorry for keeping you.
We have plenty of time,
so we'll get ready to set sail now.
Come on, crew!
-Let's go back to the sea!
-[men] Yes, sir.
[Tae-poong] I'm so high!
Whoo!
Shoe Park's Safety Shoes.
[song continues]
[relieved sigh]
-[song ends]
-Gosh.
-Who are you?
-Hello.
-I must've scared you. I--
-Come here.
-Okay, I--
-Come here.
-Come here.
-Wait.
Please listen to me.
-Captain!
-Wait, please.
-Hold on.
-Captain.
-Just a minute.
-[captain] What is it?
Hello, Captain. I'm Kang Tae-poong.
I must've scared you.
I got on here by accident.
You're a suspicious guy.
I'm not.
This white powder isn't drugs. It's flour.
I'm not a suspicious guy.
Shut your mouth!
-Please let me get off--
-I told you to shut up.
-[muffled grunting]
-Nice!
Let's see.
I'll teach you a lesson.
[muffled protest]
[boat engine whirring]
[dramatic music playing]
Who the heck are those guys?
[Hui-gyu] There you are.
What do you want? Huh?
I'm Ryu Hui-gyu.
Hey, mister.
That one's mine,
so let him go.
[Tae-poong mumbles]
[Tae-poong exclaims]
[groans]
Did you load all the shoes?
Jeez.
[Tae-poong grunts]
Did you come because you were worried?
With that kid?
That bastard is such a pain.
Give me a hand.
[scoffs]
[Hyun-jun] Tae-poong.
I came for your eyes.
[retching]
I asked if you loaded them.
-How did you find me?
-I know everything that happens in Pusan.
Then why are you asking?
-You bastard.
-Hold on.
I want to do it.
Don't you want to go back?
Do you hate me too?
I hate you, you bastard.
Beg for your life.
Is that what you want?
"Please spare me."
Please kill me
if you don't want your money.
The sea is still cold.
Can you even last one minute?
Do it.
But if you can't kill me now,
you'll never be able to kill me.
[chuckling]
[tense music playing]
[chuckles] Is that so?
I won't get the money if I kill you now.
[Tae-poong grunts]
Hold on. That's it?
Hey!
Do you think I came here just for that?!
If I give you that money,
will you kill him?
How much?
How much will it take?
Are you that rich?
Then…
How much will your father pay for this?
What are you saying, you thug?
Have you lost your mind?
My dad won't pay you.
If you send him my ear,
he'll kill all of you.
[amusing music playing]
See you.
Get out of my way, please.
That's salt water!
Jeez, salt water!
It's fake anyway, so who cares?
Come on, you should get the authentic one.
Damn it.
Bring this to the dry cleaner's,
Manager Ha!
Where is he? I don't see him.
I'm so worried.
Where did he go?
What if he fell off that boat earlier?
What?
This is weird.
[dramatic music playing]
Hey!
-What are you doing? Are you crazy?
-I should go look for him!
No, you're going to die out there!
I'm a good swimmer.
-No!
-He can't swim.
What if he drowns?
-[Cha-ran] Let's just wait!
-[Mi-seon] I can't!
Who else is going to save him?
[Tae-poong shouting] Hey!
Over here!
I'm here!
Over here!
I'm right here!
[dramatic music continues]
Hey!
-I made it back in one piece!
-Mr. Kang!
[music stops]
Why do you make me worried sick?
-I was so scared.
-Well…
[amusing music playing]
[sighs deeply]
Get a room, you two.
Ms. Oh.
[Mi-seon] I'm sorry.
You always manage to surprise me.
I was just so worried.
-I'm sorry.
-You're more reckless.
[Cha-ran] Are you okay?
-Are you returning to Seoul?
-I should go check on Bo-ram.
Don't worry, I'll take care of her.
[exclaims jovially]
Didn't you tell me to mind my own business
because the world is cold?
Even if the world is cold,
you should still be kind.
I'm off.
You'd better call me
when you have raw fish next time.
[both] We will.
-Take care.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you for everything.
-Put your shoes on.
-Yes.
-You're not hurt, are you?
-No.
-Here are your shoes.
-I'll put them on.
The goods should arrive safely, right?
They just have to cross the border.
What happened to your hand?
Did you get hurt?
It's from when I was trying
to get the tube earlier.
-Why would you--
-I'm fine.
It's not that bad.
Ms. Oh.
I think I like you.
Pardon?
-You look dirty and scruffy now.
-[theme song playing]
But you're beautiful.
[scoffs shyly]
[laughs nervously]
You're not so clean yourself right now.
Now that I think about it,
you always look the same,
but you're becoming lovelier.
You're cute when you're mad,
and when you smile…
you're beautiful.
What are you talking about?
-This is so sudden.
-That's it.
I like you, Ms. Oh.
-That's why you're pretty.
-[chuckles shyly]
What are you saying right now?
You should go take a nap.
I think you're sleep-deprived.
[Tae-poong] Maybe you're right.
[Mi-seon] Go take a nap.
[theme song continues]
[Seon-taek grunting] This is so heavy.
-[luggage thuds]
-[grunts]
[sighs wearily]
[groans]
[luggage wheels clattering softly]
[sighs]
[sighs out of despair]
[Tae-poong]
What made those days more painful was
that the most basic things
were stripped away.
There was no way
to know who was to blame for it all.
No.
No one could even think
about such things back then.
[man 1] Why isn't the car coming?
-[man 2] It's freezing.
-[man 3] Excuse me.
-Passing through.
-[men] Whoa!
-Watch it.
-Sorry about that.
[man 4] Is that it?
[man 5] There it is.
This is the last car for today. Get in!

Hey, you!
Don't push!

Oh, dear.
-You're done already?
-Yes.
Look at you. You now seem like
a true seamstress.
What are you working on?
Uh, I'm fixing
my youngest son's gym uniform.
[woman] Oh, your son would love that.
EPISODE 7
THE MEANING OF LIFE
-I win.
-No, I win! [screams]
Hi! Jjuggu!
-Jjuggu!
-It's Jjuggu!
-[kid] Jjuggu!
-[Mi-ho] Be careful with your hands.
[Mi-ho] Whoo!
There we go.
Look up.
You're supposed to say hello
when you see someone.
[scoffs] This tiny house is
way too crowded. Isn't that right?
How come no matter how much I wash myself,
I don't smell as good as Ji-hun?
What?
Don't be ridiculous.
You're squeaky clean.
-Who else washes you--
-Move.
[gasps] Whoa!
Come closer.
There we go. Good job.
Let's see.
Okay, give me your face.
Good boy.
Here you go.
Clean behind the ears.
Tip your head back. There we go.
You have to clean thoroughly
if you don't want to smell.
Good job. Look down.
You're doing so good. Great job.
Attaboy.
[Jeong-mi giggles]
There we go. All clean.
You look like a prince.
Look at our little prince. [laughs]
Hey!
[thug] What the heck are you doing?
You could've just wired it.
We're here to get
our debt acknowledgement form back.
Is that so?
I should give it back.
[Western movie music playing]
So you have something
you're scared of now.
Right?
Let's go.
-[door opens]
-[thug] Crazy punk.
[door closes]
[music continues]
[Bak-ho] What did you say?
Manager Ha!
What on earth were you doing?!
We're just trying
to handle things ourselves.
[Bak-ho] Do you know
how much damage you caused?
Thanks to you, our ship will leave
with an empty container.
Now we have to pay damages
to the buyer in secret,
not to mention late fees as well!
-Do you know how much that is?
-Dad.
That thug said if Tae-poong
doesn't bring the money,
he'll kill him
and give me Tae-poong's goods.
Isn't that efficient?
But Kang Tae-poong made money
while you lost our company's money!
Why do you only care about the result?
Think about the progress.
I really tried my best.
You're always going on and on
about that darn Typhoon Trading!
You're always raving about them.
Do you even…
Do you have what it takes
to take Kang Tae-poong down?
Do you?
You punk!
You're not in the same league as him!
I set up that trading company you wanted,
so stop trying to copy Kang Tae-poong.
Call your aunt and ask her to send over
some useful goods from the States.
Your mom's family has good taste.
Get out.
-You!
-Yes, sir!
-Take him outside.
-Yes, sir.
Let's go. Whoa.
Come on, let's go.
Jeez.
Have a good day, sir.
[door closes]
[exhales]
-Hi.
-How was the expo, Mr. Kang?
There were a lot of good items,
but they don't really match our vibe.
Take a look at this.
Electronics and chemical products.
[Mi-seon] Mmm…
EXPORT EXPO INFORMATION
The bigger trading companies
handle those, don't they?
I suppose so.
I shouldn't have repaid
the full amount to that loan shark.
Never get involved
with people like that again.
Even after our losses, we have a lot left.
Mr. Bae.
Are you studying, Mr. Bae?

KING DIAMONDS IS THE WAY TO GO!
SPECIAL LECTURE BY KIM GEUM-OK
Things are really tough these days, right?
-[all] Yes!
-I'm sure it's very difficult.
-[woman 1] It's so tough.
-[Geum-ok] Aww!
-But you know, I'm not struggling at all.
-[people gasp, murmur]
I can't help but laugh
because I'm so excited and happy.
Why, you ask?
Is it because 30 million won is deposited
into my bank account every month?
[people gasping]
KING DIAMONDS INCOME
KING LIFE SUCCESS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
[person] That's incredible.
[people murmuring in admiration]
[Eul-nyeo] Thirty million won…
-Wow.
-No, this isn't what makes me happy.
I'm truly happy
because all of you can become like me.
[all cheering]
[woman 2] We can do it!
[Geum-ok] Are we all alone in this?
-Is that how Koreans are?
-[all] No.
No, we're not.
We need to stick together
and overcome this.
What is that called? Networking?
[all] Marketing!
[Geum-ok] It's called marketing.
What did I say IMF stands for?
[in English] "I'm fine!"
[Geum-ok, in Korean] Exactly.
[in English] I'm fine!
[in Korean] All of you can become Rubies,
Sapphires, and a Diamond like me.
-[people murmuring]
-Let's earn 30 million won a month,
send those disobedient kids
overseas for school,
and gloat about it
to our annoying neighbor!
[all cheering]
[man over megaphone] Our country
is in danger because of the IMF!
We need your help, everyone!
Please participate
in the Gold Collection Effort.
Our country is in danger
because of the IMF!
Please participate
in the Gold Collection Effort.
[man over recording]
We must revive our country.
The country is in danger.
[Jeong-mi sighs]
Lucky them, having gold to contribute.
[man over recording]
We must revive our country.
-[clerk] Please fall in line.
-[man over recording] Please donate
any gold you're not using.
Let's gather our small efforts…
Who am I to help, given my situation?
We must revive our country.
Let's gather our small efforts
and revive our country.
Please donate any gold you're not using.
Our country is in danger.
Let's gather our small efforts
and revive our country.
You'll be proud of me, right, honey?
Please donate any gold you're not using.
Let's gather our small efforts…
[reporter] A cold, chilling wave worse
than the winter air has crashed over us,
but our people's passion for the nation
is burning brightly this new year.
What were your thoughts
as you brought your treasured gold?
I don't know.
As a proud citizen,
what would you like to say?
I'm a mess right now.
"The country's a mess right now."
What kind of a mess is it?
Stop it.
Stop! I can't let the other ladies
see me like this!
-[man] What's wrong with her?
-Let's go over there.
Stop it.
[reporter] Are you sad to let go of your
gold turtle and your gold medal of honor?
The people are struggling just to survive.
What good will these do in my closet?
We have to save the country first.
As you can see,
true heroes exist all around the world,
no matter the era or their age.
-There you are.
-Hey.
[in English] Oh, thank you.
[can opens]
We should've gone for some good food.
[groans] I don't like crowded places.
Is your mother doing well?
Probably.
I don't really know either.
Right now, it's every man for himself.
Hey, my family went under too.
Jeez.
I know, dude.
Even without friends,
rumors still spread like wildfire.
Sorry I couldn't go to the funeral.
And I swear I'll kill
that bastard Pyo Hyun-jun someday.
[laughing] You're crazy.
[sighs deeply] Yun-seong.
There are just too many
terrible people out there.
It's too exhausting
trying to hate all of them.
So, let's just think about
the people we want by our side.
Okay?
Hold on.
-What did you bring this time?
-Just hold on.
I said you don't have to.
Here.
[Tae-poong] What's this?
It's what I've been making these days.
I work at a helmet factory.
It's popular in Europe and the US.
So my boss made a fortune
and became rich even during this crisis.
-[sighs] Lucky him.
-Right?
Hey.
Whatever you do, just stay safe.
Once you get that look in your eyes,
it's all over.
Once I save up,
I'll get some used machinery
and start making screws.
I told you.
I'm going to pay you back.
-I said you don't have to pay me back.
-Of course not. It's chump change.
-I should go.
-Wait.
I'm going first.
This is the first product I sold.
-Stay safe.
-What is it?
Got it? Throw this away for me.
-Hey!
-See you.
See you next time.
He hasn't changed at all.
[sighs]
[sighs]
This is nice.
Jeez…
[Yun-seong] I got my paycheck.
I wanted to pay you back first.
Thanks.

-What are you doing?
-Ah.
I want to sell this.
-A helmet?
-Yes.
It's apparently
the number one helmet in the US.
But I don't know where to begin.
I really want
to sell them properly this time,
but I can't use a fishing ship again.
[Tae-poong sighs]
[Seon-taek laughing]
-Oh, my.
-Hey.
You're finally all here.
Ms. Cha, what brings you here?
My gosh.
Here.
CHOROK FARM GREEN JUICE
Of course you don't know.
You never learned this.
You should've had your shoes
inspected by Go Ma-jin first.
My shoes? Why?
[Seon-taek] Put your foot up.
Look here, at the toe.
Is it polished until it shines?
It's your mindset when meeting a client.
Now, the heel.
How worn down is it?
Does it show you've been running around?
[Song-jung] That's so old-fashioned.
[Seon-taek] What's he doing here?
[gasps] How many have you had?
-You're only drinking the ginseng too.
-I've been feeling weak lately.
Jeez.
Drink it then.
-Thank you.
-Three.
CHOROK FARM ORDER FORM
QUANTITY: 3
[Seon-taek] There we go.
Well, Mr. Go has been in sales
for a long time.
Mr. Go may sound rough,
but he was great at his job.
QUANTITY: 2
[sucks teeth, clears throat]
QUANTITY: 4
-We only need two.
-Guys.
Nothing in life is free.
Not age nor experience,
and certainly not green juice.
You're right.
Work isn't something you can do alone.
-[woman] Hey.
-[Tae-poong] Yes?
You should keep living life your own way.
Sorry?
Even if you've got no money nor dignity,
all you need is someone by your side.
You need people by your side.
[Seon-taek] Oh!
Excuse me.
[exhales]
Pardon me.
SHOE REPAIR SPECIALIS
[panting]
Go and eat first, Dad.
Dad?
You need to eat better.
Let's go and eat a proper meal.
Dad?
You're so stingy.
Seriously, so stingy.
You don't even have time
to see your grandkid.
My wife didn't
want you skipping any meals.
I'm off.
Stop eating that.
I'm off.
[grunts]
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Why are you giving this to me?
Don't make your wife work.
She just had a baby.
[huffs]
[mutters indistinctly]
Thank…
Whoa.
What brings you here all of a sudden?
What are you trying to get me to do now?
We're now
going to export goods.
Export? I see. That's good these days.
But you need the right item.
Do you have someone in sales
at the company?
Well…
Ms. Oh is in charge.
She's now a senior staff member.
Ah, I see, Ms. Oh…
Okay, good luck.
You should join us.
[exhales]
With what?
We have the right item.
But I don't know how to start.
So, please teach me how to do my job.
No, I need to make money.
My second child was just born.
I need to make money too.
This is the only way how.
Your company is nothing but a name now.
It's still nice
having a company.
Here.
And I have you too.
What's this? What are you doing?
You have to bring that helmet
to the office tomorrow, got it?
We're in big trouble if you don't, okay?
Promise you will!

It's only been two years
since helmets became mandatory.
The law is going to be
much stricter this year.
When will the items arrive?
[Ma-jin] Who cares?
Mr. Kang and I will be going anyway,
so it doesn't matter.
[Mi-seon] I work in sales too.
[Ma-jin] What can you do?
[Tae-poong]
Where do you make these connections?
[man] The youngsters these days
call it a club.
-The Nihakham Group heir will be there.

Why are you arresting us?
