No, I watch winning.

Then I change to paper,
which is what you have.

But you not change.

That's why I win again.

Try again.
You need practice.

- Gai-bai-Bo.
- Gai-bai-Bo.

Pah!

Jee!

Ah! Why do all Korean games
involve hitting?

Mm-mm-mn.

I'll play.



Uh-oh! Janet, try to be hero,
gonna be zero.

Why don't you do your mouth
a favour

And let your hand do
the talking.

Okay, big word
for little girl.

- Gai-bai-Bo!
- Gai-bai-Bo!

Gai-bai-Bo!

You're winning, Mr. Kim.

Mook!

Mook!

Janet turns a tide.

Pah!

Jee! Mook!

Boom.

Okay, okay, no big deal.



Gerald, take my flick.

You can't donate a flick.

Yeah, I'm not sure...

Make it count.

Yeah, Gerald, make it count.

Just right...

Ahhh!
My eye!

- You made my hand shake!
- Ahh!

*KIM'S CONVENIENCE*
Season 05 Episode 09

Episode Title: "Field Schemes"
Aired on: March 16, 2021

It's got heft, I like it.

Yeah. Janet give to me

When she get new phone,

Then I get new phone.

So, basically it's a new phone.

Don't make 'em like this
anymore.

Yeah, it's a phone,
not a nutcrack.

Mr. Kim!

I need 12 bottles

Of your finest energy drink.

We won our game!

Oh!

And we didn't just win,
we crushed 'em!

Oh, T-Rex are fighting!

Although I do feel bad

for the kids on the other team.

Like I say to my
bridge partner,

losing builds
character.

Too true.

Thanks again for the phone,
Mr. Kim.

I'll transfer you the money.

Okay.

Anyway, championships,
here we come!

Oh, congratulations
and I see you Saturday.

I'm umpire for final game.

- Oh!
- So,

don't expect extra favour.

Please, just because
we're facing Jimmy's team?

Well, you and your boyfriend

is going head to head.

Have to be fair,
no favourite.

Jimmy's not my boyfriend
right now.

You take serious!

No, we actually broke up
two weeks ago.

Oh.
But this isn't about him,

it's about the kids.

They've worked too hard to lose
to some smug jerk

Who always says "just try your
best" when you parallel park.

Well, as two-time
umpire of the year,

You know I call it
like I see it.

Of course. I wouldn't expect
anything less.

No favouritism.

Though, I suppose
I could go see

if they have better prices
at another store.

I'm kidding!

No favouritism.

So, would you say the clasps are
a deal-maker or deal-breaker?

It's an old lady sweater,
and it's not Christmas.

So... Maker?

Oh, hey, Mrs. Kim.

Hi, Gerald.
Where you get this?

Clothing swap at semira's.

You actually took that?

Yeah.

Semira said it was fine,
and it looks pretty good.

Maybe it look better on me.

I don't know if that's true

But if you want it,
you can have it.

You don't want that,
Mrs. Kim.

It was Semira's grandmother's.

And now it's hers.

Thank you.

How can you let her do that?

Do what?

Semira's grandmother died
in that thing.

Her spirit could still be
lingering in it.

Come on,
that's pretty dorky.

And what my mom doesn't know
can't hurt her.

Can I pull these off?

Like you say, what you don't
know can't hurt you.

Then, other team hit grounder,
running to first!

Then, pastor Nina's team pick up
ball, throw to second,

Second base to first base,
bang-bang play.

So close,
but I see everything.

And runner is... Out!

Wow!
So, the church team won.

Yeah, other coach is so angry
yelling at me, calling me name.

Been there.

Pastor Nina so happy.

Kids is so happy.

First time in 20 year
church win championship.

But you know,
it's just baseball game too.

Hello, Jimmy.

Don't let me interrupt.
Sounds like quite a story.

Yeah, pretty exciting.

Though the coach
for the other team

Sounds like a bit of a loser.

What?

He's not a loser, usually.

But in this case,
due to a controversial play...

Not controversial.
I call it like I see it.

And when you don't see it,
you still call it.

I see everything.

Oh, tell that
to your service dog.

I don't have a dog.

No, he's suggesting a seeing-eye
dog, as if you were blind.

Not even suggesting.

Next time you need a free tune
up or oil change,

Don't call me anymore!

Okay, fine, see you.

Oh, I wish!

You missed a spot.

Woo! Boys' night!
Gonna do it right!

Yeah, man.

Okay, one quick thing...

I wasn't sure if we had
leftovers

So I brought a whole bunch.

You rule, but if we could keep
the noise levels

to a minimum,
that would be even better.

- How?
- Fair question.

So, as it turns out,
in addition to boys' night,

It's also
"Babysit Gwen's niece night"!

Is that supposed to be code
for something?

Yeah, for babysitting
Gwen's niece.

Gwen's working late
and her sister's out of town.

I didn't wanna cancel.

For the third time in a row.

Shhh! Exactly.

But we can still make it fun!

Look, we got b-ball,
we got beers!

We got babysitting.

Wow. Crack that louder
next time?

Woo! Yeah, baby!

Oh...

Does that mean we can
turn it up now?

Are you painting
in the new sweater?

New old sweater.

Already so cozy.

Right.

I just don't think of it
as a work sweater.

Apparently,
it's pretty high end.

Oh, it's fine.

Hmm.

Anyway, it might just be a waste
to wear the sweater

For painting or cleaning...

...Or drying?

Janet, you give to me
this sweater.

Why do you want back now?

I don't.

Good.

Um... Okay.

Do you want some water?

I know your mom's strict
about what you eat.

How about some Kale crisps?

I want pizza.

No deal. Pizza's ours.

It's either the healthy stuff
or nothing.

Jung, I got this.

How about we all health it up!

No way.
It's my cheat day!

No Kale? No game.

Can I watch a cartoon?

Yeah, sure.
Let's set you up on my phone.

- Can you find your show?
- Mm-hmm.

Okay.

You got a message
from aunt Gwen.

- Uh-huh?
- A picture message.

She's wearing no shirt

And eating a whole Popsicle
in her mouth.

Okay, yup.

You take the TV,
we'll watch on my phone.

Absolutely not.

The sooner we give her the TV,
the sooner she sleeps.

That's not how TV works!

Dude, stop letting her
walk all over you.

Kimtree, I can't hear my show.

Then, go to bed! Argh!

He gets hangry before dinner.

I think maybe I should take
the sweater back.

Just because you call it
a Christmas sweater

doesn't make it a Christmas
sweater.

It turns out it's Norwegian,
okay, and very "hygge".

No, semira's grandmother's
sweater,

The one with the spirit in it?

I thought you didn't believe
in that stuff.

Well, odd things have been
happening around the house

Since we brought it home.

It's probably just a house ghost
coincidence.

Oh, hi, Gerald.
You still here?

Just closing up now.

Huh.

Oh!

I wish your mom
wouldn't do that.

She didn't.

Oh!

Hey, man, I just wanted to say
sorry about the other night.

Yeah, I'm sorry too.

I know it wasn't the night
we were hoping for.

But it was funny though, right?

Uh, in what way exactly?

Seeing our parenting styles.

It's crazy how we become
our parents.

Oh, yeah, you were totally
your mom!

You were all, "Kumbaya,
let's avoid conflict!"

Well, I don't know about that.

Your mom let us have
whatever we wanted.

Yeah, 'cause
she was generous.

She was kind of a pushover.

Well, I'd rather have a pushover
than a dictator.

Yeah, yeah, my appa
was definitely that.

No, I mean you.

With Becca.

Becca's a seven-year-old
with basic needs,

You're all yelly and angry.

Whoa, whoa, pizza and TV at ten
o'clock are not basic needs.

We had to set her straight.

Wow, ajushee,
when did you get here?

Okay, let's just drop it.

And for the record,
my mom isn't a pushover,

And neither am I.

I'm not saying she
wasn't a great mom, she was.

Just some discipline might have
been good for you.

Like it was for you?
And your appa?

It's not my fault my appa
and I don't get along.

No? 'Cause your umma
gets along with him,

So does Janet, so do I,
so does Shannon.

I guess the only one
who doesn't is you.

Staring contest?

Oh, sick, I'm in.

Wow, you guys are good.

I swear, ginger
is like a circus dog now!

Here's one from the park
the other day.

I call it "jump and turn".

Oh, yobo, that's you!

I'd recognize that belly
anywhere.

Yup. Mr. Kim was umping
the championship game.

Never seen the park so busy.

Wow!
I look so professional.

Yeah, like a real
children's umpire.

I just remembered I forgot
something in the truck.

I'll send you the link
to ginger's YouTube channel.

I'm up to 13 subscribers.

Some people say
I could have been umpire

in major league baseball.

You said,
just the other day.

Ah, watch this part,
it's so exciting.

I know.
Ginger nails the rollover.

No, final play of game.

Wait, go back.

Can you do slow-mo?

And voila.

Jump and... Turn...

She was safe?

Of course!

She's just playing up
the danger for the camera.

But that's ginger!

Pastor Nina?

Oh my gosh, Mr. Kim!

Joesonghamnida!

Maybe I come back
another time.

No! No, no!

We were just
talking about you.

I mean before...

Anyway...

I owe you an apology.

Okay.

It's just, I behaved badly
and was a bit of a sore loser.

Mostly because I don't have
a lot of experience losing.

Jimmy.

See, I don't even know
I'm doing it.

The loss turned out to be
a blessing in disguise.

I'm sorry for all the things
I said

at your store the other day,

and on the field
and on your Facebook page.

You write lots
of nasty things.

Which I'll retract.

But you're a great umpire
and both you and pastor Nina

Have reminded me about
the importance of humility,

by calling it like you see it.

Awww!

So you two is back together.

Yeah, she's
the real trophy.

Oh, we've talked about
that term.

Sorry.

But look at us going on
in front of you, Mr. Kim.

You wanted to talk?

Yeah, I just came to, uh...

ask about Jonah in Bible.

What kind
of fish swallow him?

Whale shark, maybe?

I see a catfish on YouTube
so big it swallow small person.

Anyway, nice talking.

Okay, see you!

Too many wild pitches
to the head?

Jimmy!

Maybe.

Umma?

Hi.

What you doing?

uh, just... Folding.

I'm going to wash.

Okay, just be careful.

I am going to wash in cold water
with same colour.

What's your problem?

Okay, the thing is,
it's no big deal

But Semira's grandmother died.

That's kind of big deal.

Well, yes,

But what I'm saying is,
and don't be scared,

But she died in that sweater.

Oh. Okay.

And it's just...

Gerald thinks her spirit
might still be in it

haunting us
if we don't treat it right.

You tell Gerald if ghost look
like Patrick Swayze,

I don't mind.

Ghost...

Ahem!

Found you!

Oh, darn! You got me!

Ha, good one.

Becca!

No!

Becca, open the door! Please!

So, you didn't tell them?

Jimmy say they get back together
because he lose!

I can't say he win.

So, you lied to your pastor?

Not a lie.

Just protect from ugly truth.

Reminds me of the time ginger
lost her chew toy.

She became so sad,
but surprisingly listened more.

Then, I found the toy
but didn't tell her.

Until one day, she found
I'd been hiding it...

Then, what did she do?

Nothing. She's a dog.

But the guilt, oh!

"Memory full"?

You told me this phone
had huge storage.

Yeah, lots of space.

It's a good phone, almost new.
Candy?

Ooh, cherry.

There he is.
Umpire extraordinaire!

Okay, okay.
You can stop.

No, she's right.

I even retracted my complaint
I filed with the league.

You filed complaint against me?

No, I retracted it.

But tell him
the good part.

Well, words are fleeting
but actions,

They Mark the measure of a real
change and transformation.

We nominated you
for umpire of the year!

- Whaaa?
- Yes!

Add another plaque to your wall!

You okay?

Yeah, I'm... Ahem, fine.

Oh, well,
that's so nice of you.

I don't know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Game's almost done.

How's the phone working out?

Why is your home screen
a picture of you?

ugh! My show is ringing.

It's kimchee.

Yeah, what?

Hey, I know it got a little
heated before

And I'm sorry about
what I said.

Yeah, me too.

It's just different styles,
right?

Totally!
That's all it is.

Anyway, you still got a key
to our place, right?

'Cause I'm locked out
on the balcony.

Can't Gwen do it?

Gwen's at work.
I'm watching Becca.

Wait, Becca's out there
with you?

No. She's inside...

Colouring.

Oh, my god, kimch, this is
exactly what I'm talking about.

This is why you have to be
strict.

Hey, Becca!
I'm so serious right now!

Open the door!

'Cause I'm so serious!

I'm getting weaker
just listening to you.

Well, we'll be praying
for you, Mr. Kim.

And if you ever want to trade
in that kia, let me know.

Yeah, okay!

But, uh, maybe this not my year
for award.

Other people deserving, too.

I'm not perfect.

Oh, no one said you were.

All umpire make some mistake.

Some, many.

I make wrong call!

What?

Last play of game,
runner was safe.

Then, why didn't you
say anything?

Because I only find out after,

And because you two seem so
happy when you think Jimmy lose.

He's right.

We did find our way
back to each other.

In that way,
we're all winners.

Oh, I know
what you're doing.

What?
Oh, you're infuriating.

Just because Mr. Kim is too
scared to stand by his call.

I not scared!

- Did he bribe you?
- What?

A kia trade-in?
Please!

No, I do this for you,
and you...

And now, him.

What?

It's a blessing in disguise.

Don't use my words
against me.

and the nomination?

I think she'll be retracting
that, too.

I don't get it.

You were home free,

Yet you spill your guts
like a prison rat.

What?!

Just because you keep clearing
your throat

And looking at me like that!

Oh, sorry.

It's the cherry candies.

Delicious, but very tart.

Go!

Becca, smarten
up and open that door right now,

Or I will cut your stupid little
stuffy into pieces

And set them on fire.

Ahhhh!

Whoa, a little harsh.
We're sorry!

Yeah, sorry.

Hi. What's going on?

Becca locked him out.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh, no.

Did Becca have these?

I told you not to be slack
with her.

That's what I said!

I'm so sorry about what
happened.

Hopefully, you'll be
in a better place soon.

Who are you talking to?

Oh, Sidney's mom.

Oh, thank god!

Her place flooded.

The co-op board is moving her
to another unit.

Thanks again for your help!

Oh, and don't
forget about the goat's blood

Or red food colouring's fine,
too.

You bet.

What's going on?

I was right
about the sweater.

We disturbed the spirit.

Sidney's mom is wiccan,

Says we'll have to dialogue
with the garment.

It's actually frank.

What?

That's me!

Sorry about that!

Sorry about all the noise.
What a day.

but... That should do it!

He's been working
on the house.

I upgraded
the fuse panel.

Then there was a problem
with the water tank.

Then, I had to fix
the fuse panel flub

I made the first time.

I know,
it freaked me out too.

I was on the toilet when he came
to check the pressure.

I still think that was on you.

But that one's on me.

Good thinking
on the candles.

Somebody knows my work.

Excuse me,

Do you carry Wentworth's Orange
Bicarbonated Soda?

All pop is in back fridge.

Got it, thank you!

Snazzy sweater,
by the way.

Oh, thank you!

Oh, hi, Janet.

Just sweeping in sweater.

Hope I don't curse
the whole store.

Okay, in my defence,

I had no idea frank
was doing repairs.

Anyway, the Jesus
is protecting us.

You cash out customer,
I put away broom.

What customer?

Heh!
Look better on you.

I don't want it!

Umma!

Umma!

I nearly forgot my soup!
