Beautiful Days (2001–…): Season 1, Episode 5 - Episode #1.5 - full transcript

Take the teacher's bag inside.
Hurry up!

You must be surprised with Min-ji.

I didn't want to complicate things
by telling Min-ji.

It's all right.
I have expected that.

Good, this is only the beginning.

Then, excuse me.

Be confident.

Only then will Min-ji trust you like me.

Thank you.
Starting from tomorrow, I'll take the bus.

Think of it as a car pool.

Give me a few minutes.



I should work at the store to
get to know your sister more, right?

Good morning.

- Oh, it's you?
- Yes.

Jogging?

Yes.
My music teacher suggested that

I do a two mile jog daily to boost
my lung capacity

and to control my breathing.

You're working hard.

This is nothing. I can run
to the end of the earth and back

if that's what it takes to be a singer.

Good. That's the attitude.

- What was your name?
- Kim Sena, sir.

Do you still remember...

we used to



visited the orphanage, Grace Home.

There was this little girl

who had been badly
scalded on the shoulder..

And you carried her to the hospital
Don't you remember?

Of course I do.

She scalded her shoulder.
Such a terrible ordeal for a little girl.

- Poor girl.
- She's that little girl.

This girl with no respect,
is that little girl?

Don't slack and do your best.

- Yes, sir.
- Work hard.

- Yes, sir.
- Let's go in.

- Have a good day.
- Time sure flies.

Good bye

Hello

An unknown singer
has raised very fast
************************

Who's name is ZERO?

A mysterious cybersinger, Zero,

distributing his music
only via MP3s is deemed

by his fan to be a godlike hero.

Zero, the world is calling you.

The search is on for Zero as

the two giant, rival record companies,

Victory and Muse, try to find him.

All attention is focused on
which company will

succeed at finding

Zero and produce his album.

Find him before Muse does.

President.

You said he was too much of an amateur.

That's before this article.

We can't lose out to Muse.

You have to find this Zero guy!

Yes.

What did you do then!

I'm relieved.

While setting up
the ad campaign to find Zero,

I was afraid of
the president's opposition.

Same here. Minus that article,

The boss would have fired us all.

We would all be dead if there wasn't that article.

- Good work.
- Thank you.

Reporter Kim?

Thank you for the article.

We're on for the weekend.

What's hot?

Shin Young-ok's CD is on top.

I see.

Play Zero's song

at least thirty minutes a day.

Zero?

He's a cybersinger.

We have to observe
the public's feedback.

I'll be working out here for a while.

Here?

Get someone to download it and play it.

Yes, sir.

These are the latest CDs.

- Let's hear it.
- Yes, sir.

- Eat.
- Thanks.

What's gotten into Director Lee,

working at the store?

To observe the public's response
to Zero's music.

Zero, Zero, Zero.

What does "Zero" mean?
It means zilch, nada, empty.

You'll come up empty-handed.

Whoever finds Zero gets one grand.
If he comes himself, he'll get ten grand.

Where's Zero now that a reward is
up for grabs?

This isn't just to find Zero.

It's a preliminary P. R campaign to
build up momentum

for when Zero's record's released.
You don't know anything.

And you do?

Everything.

Hello, this is Victory's...
You know who Zero is?

Give me a pen
Sure.

Victory Records.
Zero?

Phone number?

One, two, three.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Eight, five, six, seven, eight.

Five, six, seven.

Let's take a five minutes break
and continue.

- Drink this.
- Thanks.

You call that dancing?

For someone who worked as a
dancer, she sure can't dance.

But then again, you'd be slow dancing.

I can dance with men.

Blues is your subject.
Isn't it?

Let go!

You die!

You die!

- See you.
- Good bye.

I have other work, so I can't help it,

but why did you cut your work hours?

- Give me the pants
- What?

I'm going to invest
my time in the future.

What are you going to do?

Learn driving.

Kyu-suk says a prime
qualification for a manager

is his driving skill.

To get them to the location on time,

you have to learn to drive
like a maniac.

Be careful. You're quick tempered.
I'm worried with you at handle.

Don't you worry.

Today's the day!

Get out my way
I want to register...

After I register the driving class

I'm going to drag your sister
to my house.

Narae.

If my plan's a success, I'll call you.

- What's the plan?
- Do you think I have a plan?

Physical force, what else?

Don't hurt Sena's pride.

I know I know.
You said you have to go home early.

- Let's go
- You have to call me.

Sure, sure.

- Preparation complete!
- My jacket.

Sena!
Open up!

I know you're in there.

Open up!

Open up, now!

Sena!

Come on!

Hurry!

You think I can't?

If you don't open up soon,
I'll break this door down.

You! Hey!
What's your problem?

Sena Sena

What's wrong?

Sena!

Narae...
What happened?

You must've been so worried.
Don't worry.

It's just fatigue and malnutrition.

Sorry. Should've brought her
to my place sooner.

Sena, are you awake now?

It's me.
Are you okay?

Sun-jae.

Who's that guy?

You two can go now,
my boyfriend's here.

That guy...

He looks like the man who
went into the motel with Sena.

The way he was talking to the doctor,

I think he's a med student.

Where did she find such a dude?
I wonder.

Maybe at a bar...?

Why didn't you say
you were sick on the phone?

If I had,

you would've thought
I only call you when I need you.

Don't you?

I called you because I missed you.

From now on, tell me if you're sick.
I'm almost a doctor.

Who was that other girl?

She seemed very concerned.

The betrayer.

The person I told you about.

I don't want to see her ever again,

but she keeps coming back
to irritate me.

When can I go home?

When you finish this IV.

Rest up and eat well
when you go home.

I have to work tomorrow.

I'm sleepy again.

Rest.

Don't go anywhere.

Wait.

Can we talk?

- Have you known my sister for long?
- No.

Then, how did you
become her boyfriend?

I'm not her boyfriend.

You're not?

My sister thinks you are,
but you don't.

You mean my sister thinks
you're her boyfriend but you aren't?

If you two don't think on the same track,
you shouldn't see each other.

Don't see her anymore.

She's lonely at heart

and longs for people's kindness.

If you're not sincere, stop seeing her.

I won't tolerate Sena's getting hurt.

Why do you believe I'd hurt her?

You are the one toying with her.

It's going to hurting her.

Toying with her?

I don't know how you two met,

but don't think you can mistreat her.

I'm warning you, if you hurt her,

I will not stand for it.

I don't know
why I have to listen to this.

But I will say one thing.

You're the one
who hurt Sena, not me.

I'll take care of everything, so you go.

- You're too late.
- This.

What is it?

Sena doesn't have insurance.
I hope this is enough.

Forget it.
I have money.

Sena needs to eat properly.
I'll buy her whatever she wants to eat.

- Take it.
- Don't worry.

I'll do it by myself.
Don't worry.

- Go away.
- I'm sorry I'll go now.

Take care of Sena.
Go back inside.

Min-ji, are you upset
about something?

Let's have fun.

How can I

when tomorrow's
my mother's memorial?

You're home early.

- What are you doing?
- Can't you see? We're partying.

The elders will be home soon.

Are you afraid?

I guess you should be since you,

the guardian, came home at this hour.

Maybe you might get kicked out.

- Send your friends home.
- No. We're not through yet.

Leave.

Who are you to tell us to leave?

You and your sister
don't know when to butt out.

Beer.

You think of me as a sister?

Then drink that

and I'll send my friends home.

Can't you do that for a sister?

Sure you can.

Your sister works at a bar,
I'm sure you can hold your liquor.

Aren't you going to drink it?

Then, get out of our way.

I'm not going to drink.

Even if Sena told me to, I wouldn't.

But then again, Sena won't ask me
to do something so stupid.

What?

Until now, I felt so bad for Sena.

She doesn't have worrying parents,

or a brother who adores her.

She has to suffer alone.

More.

But you're the one who should be pitied.

Sena has a dream

so she can endure the pain.

But you have nothing to hope for.

You have neither a dream nor a future.

Enough!
Get out.

Sun-jae.

What happened?

Min-ji called us over to have fun.

I told her we shouldn't drink.

Min-ji is...

Should I clean up the place?

- It's late, you should go.
- Good night.

Go on up, I'll clean up here.

I'm not trying to help you.

I wanted to clean up
before Mom comes.

Sena's not at the motel anymore.
You won't find her there.

I can't understand you.

If you're so worried about Sena,
what are you doing at this house?

She's at a motel alone, getting sick

and you have a mind
to tutor someone?

Lie down. You have to sweat off the flu.

So you'll get well soon.

I said I'm leaving.

Who says you can leave?
Where are you going?

To that drafty little room?

I feel more comfortable there.

You don't have what it takes

to make it as a singer.

What?

This is the attitude
of a wannabe singer?

You have to be in tiptop
shape physically.

Look at yourself

At this rate, you won't last.

And so,

Companies won't invest in a wimp,

a person like you.

If I were you,

I'd concentrate on getting better

and making it as a singer.

You could sing a song
with such a weak steam power.

Not only your enemy.

Even if you must beg
your worst enemy to do it.

You have to!

You think I like you?

I'm not such person who

feeds my friend's sister in free charge.

I'm no philanthropist.

So why are you doing this?

You really think

I'm going to take a gamble on you?

Until you make it as a singer,

I'll feed and support you
untill you become a singer,

so help me to become a manager.

Please.

- A manager?
- Yes,

You're not the only one
with a dream.

Your dream is to be a top singer
and mine is to be a top manager.

So it'll be give and take.

I'll give you room and board
and take contact.

Got it?

Then, go to bed and rest.

So, get well soon.

And practice hard to get chance

- They'll listen you.
- Wait!

I'll leave when I have enough money.

You can't.
Not until I'm a manager.

Sun-jae.

It's still dark out
why go out so early?

I have a conference this morning.

- You have to eat this.
- You didn't have to pack this.

I'll eat it.

Come home early today.

- Why?
- We have a memorial service.

Mother, how have you been?

I'm sorry I didn't bring Min-ji.

She would feel bad,

so I didn't bring her.

Understand?

You're fifty-five this year.

What should I get you this year?

I should have you get
a physical check-up.

Women in their fifties
need regular check-ups.

And

now I want to buy you
a villa in Jeju Island.

You said you wanted to retire there.

Mom, why did you leave so early?

Mom

Even if it was difficult,

why didn't you live a little longer
for Min-ji's sake?

There's so much
that I want to do for you,

and now I can do anything you want.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- You're back.
- Yes

You do remember that we
have a party tonight, right?

I knew it.

I have to be on top of things.

It's the record company
association's anniversary.

You're having a party tonight?

Daeil's Chairman Kim is bringing
his daughter,

so don't be late.

Hook her,

you've got yourself a golden goose.

It's good to be Mr. Prince,

no one dares a word
when you come in late.

- Is Sena okay?
- Yes.

I told her to rest,
but she dragged herself here.

She's your sister after all
she's so tenacious.

I'm impressed.

You won over Sena's stubbornness

to bring her home.

Don't you know me?

I'm to be the top manager.

I must control a person like a tadpole.

Wait.

- Hello.
- Are you done with work?

Pardon?

Come to the bus stop in ten minutes.

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Prince called you?
Where did you get that cell phone?

What is this cell phone?

- You go ahead.
- Why?

- Just go ahead.
- Call me.

Okay.

Where are we going?

Hello, Mr. Lee.

Find me an evening dress.

For her?
Come with me.

Mr. Lee.

Do her hair and makeup too.

For the next few hours,
just do as I ask.

Mr. Lee.
You can't force me to do things.

Tell me why I'm here.

Because I need you.

- Congratulations.
- Master.

Thank you for coming.

That's fine.

Say hello.
This is Victory Records's President Lee.

How do you do?

You have a beautiful daughter.

Thank you.

- I don't see your son...
- He should be here shortly.

- You.
- Good lord.

- Sir.
- What's wrong?

Hello.

I'm sorry I'm late.

- Your guest?
- Yes.

- Bong-dal.
- Yes

I want to talk to you.

I'll be right back.

- Why did you bring her here?
- I use to bring other women.

You were supposed
to meet Mr. Kim's daughter.

I don't want to meet anyone.

What's your reason?

I'm your son.

Do you know
what day today is?

I asked you a question.

I'm not up to taking
a woman's life into my hands.

Why aren't you up there
having dinner?

I'd get indigestion
if I were to eat now.

This is my favorite artist's work.

Her work's very warm.

Let's go.

I want to see
your favorite artist's work.

But the gallery would be closed.

Hello.

Sorry to come so late.
We'll make it quick.

Take your time.

You must come here often.

Rich people like
to receive art pieces.

These places are
like gift shops to me.

This is one of my favorites.

I never saw an original piece until now.

Looking at this

makes me think
I'm the child in the painting.

Like in mom and daddy's side

With no worries in the world,

holding the hands of her parents.

You should be thankful
to your mother.

She gave you Min-ji and Sun-jae.

You know,
when you look at the stars

on the ground, it looks

so friendly by distance.

But it doesn't.

Today is mom's memorial day

I still remember that day clearly

I go back to 15 years ago

when my mom died...

When my mom died...

Feeling sad,
angry and fearful...

Again?

I told you not to set up
a service for my mom!

Go get changed.

- Give it to me.
- Are you kidding me?

Give it.

Don't you be a hypocrite.

Who's my mom to you

that you'd respect her memorial day?

Don't put on a show!
Don't be a silly.

Mom, let's go.

- Sun-jae.
- Let's get out of here.

Please, let's go!

- Sun-jae.
- Let's go.

Don't drink so much,
you're not much of a drinker.

It was your fault.

Why did you fall in love
with a married man?

And why did you have me?

Not only that

you moved in

right after the wife died.

You were wrong.

You have nothing to say

to Min-ji and Min-chul no matter

how badly they treat you.

I know.

It would've been better
had we lived by ourselves.

I was happier without a father.

Sun-jae.

Then, you would be more respected,

and you would smile more.

I miss the old you.

Min-ji and Min-chul aren't
the only ones to lose a mom.

I lost my mother too.

Min-chul.

- Where were you?
- I had a drink with Sun-jae.

Did you two go somewhere?

Yes.

Let's go home. I've prepared
everything for the memorial service.

- Get in.
- No, you go on up first.

- Please.
- Please, get in.

- Come in first
- Okay... come in soon

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Let me be.
Why, never seen a man cry before?

You're no different from Min-ji.

Memorial day is to remember the ones

who passed away,
not to get drunk and sad.

Come on, get up.

Min-chul told me
about your mother.

Min-chul spoke to you
about our mom?

Did he also tell you that
we have different moms?

My mom... is alive.

Shall I state it simpler?

Min-chul and Min-ji's mother
passed away.

And my mom's the one who prepares
their mother's memorial service.

My mother,

she's the one feeling sorry
and being hated for staying alive.

Waiting for Sun-jae?

He didn't show up
at the service.

I feel sorry for Ms. Kim...

Go in.
I'll look for him.

You must be tired.
Sorry.

Mother,

you work hard,

but you should stop now.

Starting next year
I'll go to the grave instead.

Go inside.

- Please go.
- No, you're too drunk.

- Get up.
- Please just go.

Please get up.
Let me help you.

Get up!

Mr. Lee.

Get up.

Is the service over?

Your mother's worried about you.

Min-chul, how about
having a drink with me?

What are you waiting for?
Let's go.

Wait!

Let me ask you one question.

We'll talk at home.

If...

If I die before you,

will you observe
my mother's memorial day?

You won't, will you?

You won't even bring
a single flower to her grave, will you?

Right?

If you're so worried,
just live longer than me.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.
I was worried.

Wait!

Sorry I yelled at you earlier.

Sir, Zero's going to show up.

He's going to meet
Miss Shim at the hospital.

If I'm nice to Sena...

You'll be even nicer to me?

I have to take three steps

to match my one step, Mr. Peanuts.

You get scared looking into it

but can't help looking.

Didn't a little girl go to the hospital

because she got burned?

Yes, I went to the hospital.

I was that girl.
