MAY I HELP YOU
(A Good Friend to Meet)
EPISODE 15
Well...
Can I ask you something first?
What?
You know, the cigarettes that my older brother used to smoke.
How did you find that out?
Just tell me. I'm curious, that's all.
You can tell me, right?
I believe everything you say, Dong-joo.
I agree with everything you say.
Don't be like this.
Tell me.
Your older brother...
I met him.
Ouch.
Hurry and tell me.
How did you find out?
Stop it.
Dong-joo.
I'm sorry.
Dong-joo, are you okay?
Dong-joo.
What happened?
Are you okay?
Tae-hee. Go.
Hurry.
I bought one pack of beer-- Hey! Where are you going?
Hae-an!
What the...?
Take care of Dong-joo.
Hey! Dong-joo?
Dong-joo!
Dong-joo.
Woah!
Dong-joo.
Dong-joo, what's wrong? Are you okay?
Police...
Call the police please.
Hey!
Seo Hae-an!
I want to be a police officer.
I got valedictorian.
-Number one in police academy. -Nice work, Hae-an.
Sir.
Please save me.
I'm going to get stronger and catch all the bad guys.
I'm also going to catch all the people who are rude to you.
I'm never going to forgive you.
Even if I re-think it a thousand times...
I can't forgive you.
Hurry and sleep.
Once you wake up,
your headache will go away
and you'll become a police officer.
No!
There was...
something I had to tell your older brother.
To please...
To please not die.
Not die
and live.
To live and suffer from guilt for the rest of your life.
Like me.
You can never die.
Seo Hae-an.
I just...
wanted to be like others
and have a normal life.
If I desire it earnestly,
then it should've been granted.
Don't try to reason yourself.
Everything's an excuse.
Dong-joo.
Everything's over now.
I'm sorry.
I should've protected you.
You've done enough.
Thank you.
A DIME A JOB
PORRIDGE
Eat up.
I'll come by later.
Seo Hae-an.
He won't talk.
I'm sorry, sir.
We plan to re-investigate
the Bongsu market accident.
Sure.
I apologize.
ILSAN WEST POLICE STATION
I'm sorry, Dong-joo.
I've done something I shouldn't have done.
I'm really...
really sorry.
I didn't come here to hear that you're sorry.
I'm here because I have something to tell you.
Your older brother...
asked me to tell you this.
I don't know if you're doing this because you want to hear something from me.
I'm the one who hit him. It's me.
So stop with the questions.
And get me cigarettes.
Don't you feel bad for Hae-an?
Do you know my younger brother?
Jeez.
What a small world.
Goodness.
Then,
can you tell Hae-an something for me?
That the person who made me like this,
isn't you.
It's myself.
So tell him,
to not think about me
nor our father.
And to not feel sorry.
To not be afraid. And just...
to do whatever you want to do.
And live happily
without any worries.
To not let my words
stay in your heart for long.
I'll take all the burden with me.
So just live normally like others.
Please tell him that.
I beg you.
He knew that...
you became a police officer
and that you moved.
The stuff you said at the ICU,
he heard everything.
I thought that
I'd be happy now.
But I guess not.
Please just go now.
Think about me.
That day,
he said he's the one who drove
and that he's the one who caused the accident.
He kept repeating that.
I have a favor to ask.
On the day of the accident,
my older brother
had a chip inserted in the black box.
CERTIFICATE OF COMMENDATION
Right after the accident,
I had it
taken out.
I didn't have the courage to turn myself in
nor the courage to throw it away.
So I kept it.
Dong-joo,
can you turn it in for me?
Driving under influence, murder on the run under the Special Act,
two deaths,
changing drivers, interference with police in the execution of his duties,
lack of accountability under the police oath,
and destruction of evidence.
Do you have anything to say?
There's...
someone I'd like to meet.
Why did you do it?
I said, why did you do it?
I'm sorry.
I'll live.
I won't die.
I'll suffer from guilt.
And live no matter what...
for the rest of my life.
Tae-hee.
You should eat.
I'll leave it in front of your door.
Goodness.
Tae-hee.
I bought an amazing samgyetang.
Eat it, okay?
Hey.
I made pork rice bowl.
You better eat this time.
What a brat.
Hey! Open the door.
Open up.
Darn it.
Hey!
At least chew some gum!
Tae-hee.
I bought a lottery ticket.
I'll only let you know when I win.
Then, you'll be so jealous.
What?
What the...?
Oh my God. Hey!
Tae-hee. Come out!
Hey! Oh my God!
Hey! The lottery...
I lost. Darn it.
-Oh. -Hi Dong-joo.
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
-What's with the flowers? -Right. Here.
What?
They're beautiful, aren't they? Flowers have the power to calm the mind.
They reduce stress and increase the happiness index.
Is that so?
Wow, they smell so good!
Just looking at them makes me feel better.
Thank you.
Right. Can you give them to Tae-hee?
Right. Well...
Oh, I thought they were for me.
Dong-joo.
Do you want to come in?
No, I'll wait.
Tae-hee.
I'm sorry.
Why?
It's not because of you.
It's not your fault.
Thank you, Tae-hee.
It's so nice to be here with you.
I'm glad we're watching it together.
Wow, look at the stars.
EPISODE 15 FINAL WORDS OF GOOD-BYE
The weather is pretty chilly now.
Jeez.
Those fools. In front of the elderly living alone...
Never mind.
I've declared not to marry.
I am voluntarily not marrying.
Michael.
STOP BY
-Sam-sam. -What?
Uncle. Uncle.
-Sam-sam. -I see.
Uncle and uncle.
I wanted to see you soon.
You've suffered a lot from the incident.
Jeez.
More than me,
Tae-hee is having hard time.
Still, my nephew seems to be very lucky.
He has Dong-joo.
The more I see her, she seems like a good person.
He's got good luck!
More than that.
Hmm.
He hit a grand slam.
He changed his life with a grand slam.
Goodness!
You're over complementing her.
She's still
got a lot to learn.
By the way,
is there really such a thing as fate?
Originally, I didn't believe in such a fantasy.
Is that why
you declared your non-marriage?
It doesn't mean that I'll never withdraw.
I didn't say that.
But...
even so,
you should still believe.
That it's destiny.
That it's love.
That it recognizes each other.
Just like us, sam-sam's?
Let's go all the way
to Silvertown together, okay?
-No. -What?
What a miser.
I've prepared it in a larger portion for you.
I feel like a lot of things have been resolved.
Even if you, Stella,
don't have 80%,
you have at least 50% stake.
No, not at all.
Those hands...
Do you still think
they aren't a gift?
Who could be the last person?
The person who is destined
to meet Stella's hands.
Will you tell me after I meet the last person?
The secret behind my hands.
What?
LARGE-SCALE FIRE IN THE 4-STORY BUILDING OF BONGSU ELECTRIC IN SEOUL
21 PEOPLE DIE IN BONGSU ELECTRIC BUILDING FIRE ACCIDENT
Hey, where are you going?
To work. I'll be back.
Oh, right.
Be safe.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
This week has been really tough.
Same here.
It's been so tough.
Let's eat and cheer up.
Wow.
-It's delicious. -Here.
For you too.
It's tasty.
It's even better with the meat.
I...
This morning,
I sent a gifticon to the Il-seob.
You don't nag anymore.
Whatever. Do as you like.
Sure!
It's Il-seob.
Thank you so much.
Hey. Go to work.
What about you?
I'm off today.
I only have afternoon lessons today.
Shall we go watch a movie together?
Period. Period.
"Thank you so much."
Wow.
What the?
-Hello. -"Thank you so much?"
Excuse me?
What does it mean when a guy says "thank you so much?"
-What? -"Thank....
You... So...
Much."
"Thank you so much?"
Well...
That is...
That just means thank you.
That's it?
Then, what's with the two period's in the end?
There are two periods.
What does it mean when a guy uses two periods?
Let's grab food?
Or let's go drink?
He's hitting on me, right?
Should I go for it?
Go for it.
Okay.
Thank you.
I'm here to fight head-on.
I think you've been doing it all along.
So you know.
That's worth the effort.
Well then, have a great day today.
Hey, granddaughter.
Have you had...
lunch?
Tae-hee!
Hey!
Oh my God. Oh my God!
What's with you? What is it?
1000 clients.
Hey, you brat.
What's with your reaction?
Aren't 100,000 people the default these days?
We're in the Bongsu district. These are all our actual customers.
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Jeez. I'm talking about hiring more people.
What?
Why?
You're
staying here?
KIM HAE-YEON - CHEER
So, you're really
staying here, right?
Where else would I go?
Yeah, exactly.
Go ahead. Keep working.
Hey.
It's not time for us to be idle like this.
We've got a lot to do.
A DIME A JOB CHAT
Anyway,
we should
focus on our VIP clients.
Jeez.
What the?
What...
Hi Dong-joo.
Why is everyone here?
Dad?
Jeez. My eyes are burning.
-Dad-- -I asked because I had to make kimchi!
-Why? What? -Who makes kimchi nowadays?
I like making it myself.
Why do you make just kimchi every time?
Even if you run out of rice, you should never run out of kimchi.
Are you trying to share it with the whole neighborhood?
I wish he did.
I'll get some kimchi later too.
Yes, of course.
But where's the cabbage?
It's in the bathroom.
Bathroom. Tae-hee, let's go.
Okay.
Dad.
I made 70 bundles last year, but it wasn't enough. So I'm making 200 this year.
Goodness.
Last year, I bought pickled cabbage,
but I couldn't eat it because it was too bitter.
I don't think they used the right salt.
Squeeze the water out completely and bring them out.
Yes, sir.
Goodness!
They look delicious.
Did you grind all the red pepper powder?
Don't you know how important red pepper powder is when making kimchi?
No, and I don't care.
I wish you knew.
I cleaned them one by one.
There was so much dust in the peppers.
You never know where they come from when you buy them in markets.
Why not plant pepper and cabbages and farm?
Why couldn't I think of that?
Good idea.
Let's go.
You're really using everything, right?
Of course. We need to finish them today.
So we can eat them next year.
Goodness!
-They're heavy, right? -No, not at all.
-I'm serious. -Jeez.
Of course, I'm the only one working.
Did you come to play?
It's so unfair.
-What is? -Where should I put this?
That's good.
Here.
That's tasty.
Now, for you.
Wow.
-That's delicious. -I know, right?
Here is a big one for you, boss.
Wow.
Sir.
Do you have makgeolli?
Hey, I'm Baek Dong-joo's dad.
It's so delicious.
Cheers.
Even though I was worried that you would get sick after making this kimchi,
knowing that I'm being greedy,
I can't stop because I want to eat this together.
We are honored.
And since we're healthy young men, we don't have to worry about body aches.
We don't even get the flu.
I was discharged as an army sergeant.
-I see. -I see.
I'm from the 370th of the military.
I'm from the marines.
Of course!
You've passed as my son-in-law.
Excuse me?
What are you saying?
You can't fool me.
How'd you find out?
Who knows?
-Here. Eat up, boss. -Thank you.
I'm looking forward to more good information in the future.
I see.
Eat up first.
You can take your call here.
Hello?
My daughter has fainted.
So I need to go now.
Can you take my shift?
I see.
Please take over for me.
My wife is in dialysis right now. So it's just me.
I see.
Jeez. My friend is hurt.
I should go. What do you think?
What? Who?
Well...
-Seok-ho. -I see.
Do you have to go?
He has a wife and four daughters.
His wife is ill.
Don't wait up. I don't think I'll be back tonight.
-Dad. -Yes?
You're not going to Seok-ho, are you?
Well...
Girlfriend?
Stop talking nonsense.
-I'll drop you off. -Let's go together.
Goodness. There's no need to.
Since you're here, I hope you just enjoy the food.
Go ahead and eat.
Well...
Jeez. He's in such a hurry.
-Go ahead and eat. I'll be back. -Okay.
It's really fine. You were in the middle of eating.
It's totally fine.
Well...
I should've told you sooner.
I'm sorry.
Jeez. Don't be sorry at all.
Since Dong-joo was a kid,
I've imagined it a countless times.
About what?
I wondered what kind of a guy she'd meet.
Would I get jealous?
I would get furious and wake up in the middle of the night.
I've imagined that tens of thousands of times,
but seeing you and Dong-joo together,
I like it.
I feel very relieved.
She's never showed her true feelings.
She's used to pretend she's okay,
even if she wasn't.
So I always had that in my mind.
A roof is not enough for me to shelter her from the rain.
I can't be that cozy blanket to keep her warm.
I want her to receive greater love outside of my arms,
instead of being loved in my arms.
That being said,
I'm saying this to definitely burden you.
Please make Dong-joo laugh a lot,
and give her a lot of love.
That's all I ask.
I will keep that in mind.
Thank you.
Thank you today, and thank you in the future too.
Oh, drop me off right after that intersection.
Yes, sir.
Well...
Are you going to keep working at the apartment
a secret?
Well, that...
I get greedy while doing it,
so I can't quit easily.
If Dongju knew about it, I think she'd tell me to quit right away.
I made you feel awkward putting you in the middle, right? I'm sorry.
No, not at all.
Jeez. You must be exhausted.
-Sir. -Yes?
Just a minute.
Yes?
Well, here.
Goodness. You didn't have to.
Jeez. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Hey, Mr. Baek. Hurry!
-I'm in a hurry. -Go ahead.
-Hurry. -Okay.
Hurry and go.
Jeez. It's cold. Hurry and go.
Oh.
Sir.
-Have some. -No, it's fine.
Have some.
Thank you.
-Thank you. Go in safely. -Okay.
Jeez.
How come our baby always wants to eat only roasted sweet potatoes?
I know, right?
Here. Have some.
She shouldn't look like sweet potatoes, though.
MY SWEET DAUGHTER
Dad.
Is everything okay?
-What? -Seok-ho.
Yes, of course. He's okay.
-What the...? -Are you done eating already?
I got home a while ago.
Let's not make kimchi next year.
We need to again.
Jeez. You never listen.
The oysters are in the fridge, and I left the bossam on the table.
Don't forget it.
Okay.
A DIME A JOB
Goodness.
Hey, I bet all the kimchi in this town tastes the same.
I know, right?
I think we made 1000 bundles of kimchi these past few days.
Goodness. We were basically a kimchi factory.
We didn't even have a day of rest.
Boss.
Seriously,
why don't we go on vacation during the kimchi-making season?
Good idea.
Jeez. Hey.
Look. There's no way we can rest.
I know this was my idea
to give our customers love, peace, and happiness.
It's too good to just stay like this.
Shouldn't more people enjoy our service?
How?
Expanding business.
So how do we do that?
-We need to get investments. -From who?
Let's go
more global with a sense of ownership.
May I half you?
Does that half mean "help?"
-Then, what is that? -That means half, like half of something.
This is help, you fool.
What did you study in Noryangjin?
It changed?
Can I see you for a second?
I wondered if the day would come when we could see each other comfortably.
That's today.
I'm going to America.
So I can study more.
That's good for you.
You've always wanted to study abroad.
Here.
It's not a gift.
It belongs to you.
I found it while I was packing my things.
Aren't you thinking about coming back?
Yes.
I got on the wrong bus, so I'm waiting.
When will you be here?
Jeez. I'll be there quickly.
How'd you get on the wrong bus?
Why weren't you paying attention?
-Dad. -Dad?
What do you mean "dad?"
-Hey, hold on. Hang up. -Hey.
Dad!
-I can't that day. I got an order. -Dad!
I'm available the next day.
Yes, of course.
Why can't he hear me?
Jeez. Just leave it.
No, that's fine. I can do it.
No, I'll get it.
Thank you, sir.
When's your baby due?
It's one week late.
Goodness.
They say that if you exercise and move your body, the baby will come out faster.
-So I'm moving a lot. -I see.
-Fighting! -Fighting!
-Thank you. -Sure.
-Go in safely. -Okay.
Goodness. Careful.
Sir, should I put a label on this?
Are you throwing it out?
-Yes. -It still looks good, though.
Could I have it?
But it's been used a lot.
Jeez. This looks new to me.
-You can leave it. I'll do it. -Sure.
-Thank you. -Sure.
Dong-joo.
Dong-joo. Hey.
Well...
I was going to tell you.
I'm sorry.
Father, did you know about this?
No.
I really didn't know.
I'm not trying to blame you, Father.
I just feel so stupid.
I'm just upset.
He thinks I'm studying.
I had no idea he's been working that small guard post to support me.
Stella.
I want to end this.
I want to stop lying to my dad.
I want to go back home to live with him.
You should.
-Dal-shik. -Yes.
I'm glad to see you so energetic.
I wonder why daughters worry so much.
She probably thinks I'm doing this because of her.
I'm still young
and healthy.
Exactly.
Fifty isn't considered old anymore.
You still have a long way to go to grow up.
Look at you being butt-hurt.
You're butt-hurt, aren't you?
Still,
don't overwork yourself.
You're still running the factory.
Jeez. The factory isn't a concern.
What are you going to do with all that money?
Dongju, have you thought about the altar design?
Right.
-Here. -Okay.
Wow. Your idea is amazing.
Complaints came in because of the ATM machine
and the location of the donation envelope.
So let's think about where to change the location.
Yes, sir.
Also, you've accumulated a lot of days off.
Use them before the end of this year, or they go to waste.
-Sir. -Yes?
I have something to tell you.
Sure.
Well...
I think I should quit.
I'm going to study.
Sure.
How long can you work until?
Thank you.
I'm going to do what my dad wants.
I registered for the course
and told our team leader.
He asked me to stay until he hired someone new,
so I said yes.
There's only one person left,
so I'm just going to finish it
and then quit.
Also,
I'm planning on moving back home.
Well...
You can't.
This is what I want to say,
but I think it's better for you to be by your father's side.
I'll just visit you more often.
Jeez. The wind is strong.
You must be coming back from the market.
-Yes. -I hope to hear some good news today.
-I wish so too. -Jeez.
-Fighting! -Fighting!
Jeez.
Move!
MAY I HELP YOU
I wish you'd stop.
Stop worrying about me, and take care of yourself.
You're all grown up now, Dong-joo.
I got a reply.
I want to discuss investing in your company.
Let's go to Pan-gyo!
I have an errand request for you too.
Dong-joo, you have to be happy.
Please take care of Dong-joo.
What should I do tomorrow?
I will do it. I must do it myself.
