[Eun-young] Hey, you! Seung-gwon's friend!
Listen to me.
Down in my office, in my desk drawer,
there's a red pouch with a key in it.
Use it to open my yellow cabinet.
You'll see a lot of beakers inside.
I bet you must think I'm crazy!
And who knows? You could be right!
But, anyway, it's too late.
It's over for me now!

Is something wrong?
I scratched my cheek.
I don't know how.
Wow. I really liked that rooster.
Is he yours?
Raised him yourself? He's so cute.
So you've had him
since he's just a little baby.
[groans]
[In-pyo] Stop smiling.
Stop it. That is so creepy.
[panting]
[In-pyo] No, no.
-Let me recharge.
-[both panting]
I'm sorry about this.
No, wait. Please help me.
I need to...
save myself first...

[news anchor] An earthquake
was felt earlier today
in the Yongsan District of Seoul,
with the epicenter being in the area
of Mong-lyeon High School.
Our reporter Kim Ju-jin is at the hospital
where the victims were taken.
Ju-jin, can you give us any more details?
[Ju-jin] This was a significant
earthquake measuring 4.8.
And what's got seismologists
really puzzled
is that the tremors were felt only
at the high school and nowhere else.
Fortunately, the incident
took place at lunch
when many of the students
were outside enjoying the sunshine.
So there weren't any serious injuries.
According to people who were there,
the earthquake itself was preceded
by a number of tremors coming in waves.
Luckily, this gave the teachers
some warning,
and thanks to their prompt
and cool-headed response,
they were able
to get their students to safety.
Since I'm here with one of the
earthquake victims from the high school,
let's hear from here what it was like.
What was it like?
[Ju-jin] I, uh, suppose it must have been
pretty scary, huh?
Not really, no.
We just followed
the teachers' instructions.
[Eun-young] Huh?
What is she talking about? She's crazy.
Go on. Tell her, Radi.
[Eun-young] Those kids all ran up there
to kill themselves.
[A-ra] Come on. Don't be shy.
[Ju-jin] So what was it like
for you, young lady?
Are you all right? How are you feeling?
Forget the seismologists.
They don't know what they're saying.
Good. I think I'm fine.
[Eun-young] Oh, no one knows.
-[Ju-jin] Anything else...
-[Eun-young] I'm the only one...
Who knows why it happened?
I want to thank the teachers
'cause I know they saved our lives.
[news anchor] Hold on now.
I knew that girl looked familiar.
That's Radi Jang
you've got there with you.
Joshua Jang's daughter, the K-pop artist.
-Thank you, Yu-jin, for that report.
-I'm fucking exhausted.
[roars]
[Eun-young] "Apji...
Stone."
[In-pyo] Could be destroyed
by torching their throats.
[ominous music]
I'm clueless.
[door closes]
[Eun-young] You were right.
That monster looked like
some kinda freshwater fish or toad.
[In-pyo] And it also said,
from ancient times,
this pond was where
young lovers would come
when they lost their love
to drown themselves.
-Ah!
-[laughter]
-Ow.
-Do it again.
-All right.
-Ready, go! Ready, go!
[indistinct chatter]
What does that word...
"...jeongin" mean?
Uh, "good friend."
Someone who is totally in-sync with you.
[playful bantering]
That sounds about right.
I don't see Seung-gwon around.
Look, he's right over there.
No, I didn't mean him.
Huh?
Well, that's good.
[worker 1] Hey. So that side
is all clear so I can cover...
[worker 2] Oh, good.
Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, go over there.
Who'd wanna build a school
on this wretched land?
[children laughing]
[foreboding music]
[Min-u] Are you really
gonna steal everything?
[Wan-su] Stay there.
I don't want you jinxing anything.
[man laughing]
VOLUNTEER CERTIFICATES
[Wan-su] I found them.
SEO JIN-GYEONG, MONG-LYEON HIGH SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION: HOUSE OF CULTURE
[Wan-su] Just think about it.
This is worth three days.
That's three days
we can be somewhere else.
Wait. Where are you gonna be
for three days?
Stop being such a pussy.
Are you sure about this?
We'll keep two for ourselves,
and we can sell the rest of them.
We're gonna need a stamp. You have one?
-Huh?
-You'll have to make one.
Why is that?
They're no good if they're not stamped.
-How do you make one?
-With an eraser?
Yeah, but what do you do with it?
That's your job, that's not mine.
Oh. So how do I do it?
You're in Art Club.
Put that crappy club to some use.
It's not like you're
in the Ping-Pong Club or something.
Actually, I am.
Oh...
I need a smoke.
Hey! They'll smell, and they'll catch you.
It's not gonna happen.
HEO WAN-SU (LUCKY)
I never get caught.
KANG MIN-U (RUCKUS)
I always get caught.
-[student] Wan-su! Here!
-[In-pyo] Min-u and Wan-su?
[grunts]
Okay!
[In-pyo] Yeah,
they spend a lot of time together.
Why?
Do the two of them
often get in trouble together?
[Seung-gwon] Uh, Min-u and Wan-su? Yeah.
They're both in my classroom.
[student laughing]
[Seung-gwon] Wan-su's nickname is Lucky
'cause luck always has a way
of finding her.
And Min-u's is Ruckus
'cause stuff happens when he's around.
Min-u used to have feelings for Jellyfish.
[A-ra] He did not.
[Seung-gwon] Yes, he did.
[sighs]
He did not.
How would you know?
You didn't even know I liked you.
[sighs]
You didn't know I liked you either.
Okay, you two.
Get lost!
[man 1] Yeah, so, I thought maybe, uh...
I'll... maybe I can meet you
for lunch tomorrow.
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll see you then.
[In-pyo] Min-u is the type who makes
every situation worse.
One day, recently, he lost a hamster
he brought to school.
Why bring a hamster to school?
[upbeat music]
[Min-u giggles]
[Min-u] This hamster is my cute little...
sweet little friend,
my best little buddy.
His name is Fried Ham.
[giggles]
[Wan-su] Min-u brought a rat to school.
Why would you bring it to school?
You're just like each other,
small and stupid.
[Min-u] One day before I went
to Gym class,
I put Fried Ham in his box.
But when I got back, he was gone.
Sure, I put the lid on that box.
[Wan-su] You didn't.
[Min-u] Why did he get out of that box?
[Wan-su] To get away from you.
[Min-u] Where did he go?
Where did Fried Ham go?
Oh, no.
[Eun-young]
Could Wan-su have hidden the hamster?
[In-pyo] Hidden the hamster for six hours?
I doubt it.
[Min-u] Where did you go, Fried Ham?
[Wan-su giggles]
[Wan-su] Where did you go fucking rat?
-[Wan-su laughs]
-[Min-u sobs]
[Eun-young] I can say that the backs
of their heads
are connected by
a sort of weird umbilical cord.
They're the kind that can't help.
[Wan-su laughs]
[Min-u] Wan-su went to the cafeteria
and checked the soup pot
'cause she said he probably fell in there.
Then all the kids thought
they'd eaten him,
and they started crying and throwing up.
I don't know why they did that.
Fried Ham is so adorable.
But then, Wan-su found him for me.
[Wan-su] Ta-da!
[Min-u] He was in the trash can
of another classroom.
[chuckles]
I'm so happy.
That's why we'll be friends forever.
Best friends forever.
There was one time
when Wan-su got in trouble
for selling porn to students.
I thought so.
Does that help you recharge your energy?
Ah!
It must only be used for a good purpose.
Mm-hm.
Om pra mani dhani svaha.
[quirky music]
People only wish for only positive things,
so of course, I feel the same way too.
You don't have many friends, do you?
Oh, and what about you?
Do you have a lot?
Anyway, you're not doing all this
just for yourself, are you?
I bet you don't really have
a single friend.
I have friends.
[scoffs]
Okay. Okay, you win.
[In-pyo] I have no friends.
[Eun-young] I may not go to class reunions
or other people's weddings,
but I do have a very good friend.
How's that?
-Better?
-We met last year
when she bumped her car into mine
in the hospital parking lot.
Just a minute.
-At the time...
-Hold on.
-she was a patient and I was a nurse.
-There.
-Feeling better now?
-Strangely enough...
-she's become like a mother to me.
-Okay?
-She's a shoulder I can lean on.
-Here.
Come out.
That's it.
Well, you did say you saw jellies
all over your school.
[Eun-young] Right.
But these two were born with it.
I can't do anything about that.
Do they... have longish hair?
Mm-hm.
Why? What about it?
You know what they're like.
Jellies are fond of hair.
[sighs]
I wonder...
And so?
What's so wrong about them
being connected?
Friends shouldn't be tethered
to each other.
Not like that.
And why do you think it's so wrong?
They're kids after all.
No. I've seen one of the two
end up dead before.
It's not right.
[breathes sharply]
So...
Shave it.
I'm telling you it's because of the hair.
So shave it off.
[instrument clanging]
[sighs]
I don't want to.
[rasping]
[In-pyo] You know, it could be some
other hair on their body that's the issue.
Oh, really?
You want to give them a bikini wax?
[sighs]
No, like shaving their armpits.
It'll just grow back, of course.
Maybe they could, uh, get electrolysis.
Who would do it?
Ah, shit! Oh, sorry.
Or we could... try tying off the ends...
Putting knots on the ends of their hair.
That would keep the jellies
from attaching.
That's worth considering.
Ah!
Grown-ups talk all the time.
You want me to take care of their hair?
[upbeat music]
Anatomical classification.
PLAN 1: THE HAIR ON THEIR HEADS
That means kind of like naming things
for where they originate. Okay?
[female teacher] So, we classify things
into two branches.
The first is...
Oh, that's wrong. Wait.
No, that's not it.
YOU'D BE CUTE IF IT WEREN'T
FOR YOUR CURLY HAIR- FROM A-RA
Not sympathetic,
it should be autonomic nervous system.
I got it wrong.
The autonomic nervous system.
And this is the sympathetic nervous system
and the parasympathetic nervous system.
Okay, so what does
the sympathetic nervous system do?
That's right, it stimulates.
And this would be something
that hinders stimulation,
so these two have opposite functions.
-Now, for their anatomical classification.
-What?
Let's see where they originate. Okay?
Look, they're split into two categories.
Okay? So, first, the cranial nerve.
Something that extends
from the cranial nerve
and that is... Class?
That's right. The spinal cord.
How many pairs
of cranial nerves are there?
That's right, 12 pairs.
Easy to remember?
I THINK YOU'LL LOOK CUTE
WITH YOUR HEAD SHAVED.
And the spinal nerves?
That's right, 31 pairs.
Again, easy to remember.
Okay. Now the sympathetic nerve
and the parasympathetic nerve
work in opposite ways.
No surprise there, right?
[whirring]
[whirring continues]
Now that I don't have any hair,
do I smell better?
[Eun-young] Shit! I only made it worse.
[chuckles]
There's something on my head?
-[Wan-su] No.
-Then why are you...
[indistinct chatter]
[student giggles]
[indistinct chatter]
We're fucked.
We are?
It wasn't his hair after all of this.
So now what?
[In-pyo] Or we could...
try tying off the ends...
Putting knots on the ends of their hair.
That would keep the jellies
from attaching.
PLAN 2: THE HAIR ON THEIR ARMPITS
[In-pyo] Now, look.
You put this end here...
through the loop.
Like that...
and pull it through like this.
No. That's not quite right.
Almost.
Right through there.
Just pull it through along the line.
Pull it.
I think you're gonna have to start over.
It's tangled.
Okay, look, here. Let me show you.
This end goes here,
and this end goes here.
But yours is really a mess.
You should... Just start over.
[quirky music]
Good. This is a ring knot.
And if you pull on one end of it,
you've got a flat ring knot.
Like this. See?
And if you want a ring knot again,
all you have to do is take the end
and just insert it back in.
It's simple. Okay?
Now, since we're running out of time here,
let's move on to the strawberry knot.
-[sighs]
-I'd be happy with the swan.
Isn't one enough?
No, it isn't.
There's no need to frown about it.
I wasn't frowning.
[door lock clicks]
PING-PONG CLUB
[boy 1] Yeah.
Okay. This is
the Giseong Girls High School.
When we come in through the back gate,
you'll see all these buildings.
But this is the one we want.
None of the students use the back gate
when exams are going on.
They think it's bad luck for them.
-[chuckling]
-From the back gate, there's a bridge.
That'll lead us into the building.
[boy 2] And from there,
we find the main staircase.
The bridge is closed
and locked at 6:30 p.m.
So we gotta be sure to get in before then.
[inaudible dialogue]
On every floor,
there's a teacher on night duty
so you've got to watch out for them.
So what then?
[boy 1] Okay, look.
Here on the third floor, the 11th grade
classroom should be empty.
Between 8:10 and 8:30,
the teachers will be changing shifts.
That's our window.
[suspenseful music]
Getting up the stairs
should take less than a minute.
Once we're passed the hallway, we're safe.
There are no teachers in the classrooms.
[suspenseful music]
[clinks]
[snickers]
Do you really think
we'll get into college doing this?
How do you think
we got into college, you idiot?
[laughter]
This is gonna be sick.
[laughs]
[Min-u] But what if the girls
report them stolen?
[boy 2] Nah, they won't.
They get a kick out of it.
In our day, some of them even traded
them for our phone numbers.
[boy 1] Eventually, we arranged
a group date with them.
[boy 2] Oh, yeah.
[laughs]
[boy 1] Anyway, I wish you guys luck.
[boy 2] Yeah, good hunting.
[groans]
[girls screaming]
That was a dead girl's.
-[giggles]
-[girl 1] That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
[quacking]
[girl 2] Arrived at last.
[tense music]
[tense music continues]
[snaps]
This is so hard.
So maybe that's enough for today.
Next time, we'll finish the butterfly knot
and go on to the dragonfly knot.
And the dragonfly knot is a bit trickier.
But you can do it.
It's probably best to explain it
with a diagram.
[grunts]
Here.
There's three parts to a dragonfly knot.
You've got a bud knot and a wing knot.
And then a double knot
for the dragonfly's abdomen.
This double knot
is also called a baby knot.
Because in the old days, they thought
it looked like a baby nodding its head.
Though, I don't really see it myself.
But, anyway, if you look at the top...
Do I really have to learn all this?
Of course, you do.
We're not just playing around here,
you know.
We need to find the one that's gonna work.
Let me go over it again.
This is the dragonfly's head.
It's called the bud knot.
And obviously, it's because
it resembles the bud of a lotus blossom.
This one's easy, isn't it?
You tried it, right?
It's easy, right?
Next, we have the wing knot
-which is also not that hard to tie...
-Hey, why are you doing this to me?
You wanna stop?
No, it's all right.
Perhaps if we look at the book. Yeah.
Here.
It explains how
to tie the knot step by step.

You press down 30 times exactly like that,
while attempting to keep your fingers

And between compressions,
you wanna make sure
you allow the chest to relax
so blood can flow back to the heart.
Now, would anyone like to give it a try?

Is something wrong?
I scratched my cheek.
I don't know how.
Wow. I really liked that rooster.
Is he yours?
Raised him yourself? He's so cute.
So you've had him
since he's just a little baby.
[groans]
[In-pyo] Stop smiling.
Stop it. That is so creepy.
[panting]
[In-pyo] No, no.
-Let me recharge.
-[both panting]
I'm sorry about this.
No, wait. Please help me.
I need to...
save myself first...
[panting]
[grunting]
[clatters]
Don't shoot me.
[chuckles]
I won't.
Shit.
Thank you, Mr. Hong.
Thank you.
[chiming]
[panting]
[indistinct chatter]
[tranquil music]
Hello there.
Hey, sorry, I'm late.
[chuckles]
It's okay.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
[news anchor] An earthquake
was felt earlier today
in the Yongsan District of Seoul,
with the epicenter being in the area
of Mong-lyeon High School.
Our reporter Kim Ju-jin is at the hospital
where the victims were taken.
Ju-jin, can you give us any more details?
[Ju-jin] This was a significant
earthquake measuring 4.8.
And what's got seismologists
really puzzled
is that the tremors were felt only
at the high school and nowhere else.
Fortunately, the incident
took place at lunch
when many of the students
were outside enjoying the sunshine.
So there weren't any serious injuries.
According to people who were there,
the earthquake itself was preceded
by a number of tremors coming in waves.
Luckily, this gave the teachers
some warning,
and thanks to their prompt
and cool-headed response,
they were able
to get their students to safety.
Since I'm here with one of the
earthquake victims from the high school,
let's hear from here what it was like.
What was it like?
[Ju-jin] I, uh, suppose it must have been
pretty scary, huh?
Not really, no.
We just followed
the teachers' instructions.
[Eun-young] Huh?
What is she talking about? She's crazy.
Go on. Tell her, Radi.
[Eun-young] Those kids all ran up there
to kill themselves.
[A-ra] Come on. Don't be shy.
[Ju-jin] So what was it like
for you, young lady?
Are you all right? How are you feeling?
Forget the seismologists.
They don't know what they're saying.
Good. I think I'm fine.
[Eun-young] Oh, no one knows.
-[Ju-jin] Anything else...
-[Eun-young] I'm the only one...
Who knows why it happened?
I want to thank the teachers
'cause I know they saved our lives.
[news anchor] Hold on now.
I knew that girl looked familiar.
That's Radi Jang
you've got there with you.
Joshua Jang's daughter, the K-pop artist.
-Thank you, Yu-jin, for that report.
-I'm fucking exhausted.
[roars]
[Eun-young] "Apji...
Stone."
[In-pyo] Could be destroyed
by torching their throats.
[ominous music]
I'm clueless.
[door closes]
[Eun-young] You were right.
That monster looked like
some kinda freshwater fish or toad.
[In-pyo] And it also said,
from ancient times,
this pond was where
young lovers would come
when they lost their love
to drown themselves.
-Ah!
-[laughter]
-Ow.
-Do it again.
-All right.
-Ready, go! Ready, go!
[indistinct chatter]
What does that word...
"...jeongin" mean?
Uh, "good friend."
Someone who is totally in-sync with you.
[playful bantering]
That sounds about right.
I don't see Seung-gwon around.
Look, he's right over there.
No, I didn't mean him.
Huh?
Well, that's good.
[worker 1] Hey. So that side
is all clear so I can cover...
[worker 2] Oh, good.
Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, go over there.
Who'd wanna build a school
on this wretched land?
[children laughing]
[foreboding music]
[Min-u] Are you really
gonna steal everything?
[Wan-su] Stay there.
I don't want you jinxing anything.
[man laughing]
VOLUNTEER CERTIFICATES
[Wan-su] I found them.
SEO JIN-GYEONG, MONG-LYEON HIGH SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION: HOUSE OF CULTURE
[Wan-su] Just think about it.
This is worth three days.
That's three days
we can be somewhere else.
Wait. Where are you gonna be
for three days?
Stop being such a pussy.
Are you sure about this?
We'll keep two for ourselves,
and we can sell the rest of them.
We're gonna need a stamp. You have one?
-Huh?
-You'll have to make one.
Why is that?
They're no good if they're not stamped.
-How do you make one?
-With an eraser?
Yeah, but what do you do with it?
That's your job, that's not mine.
Oh. So how do I do it?
You're in Art Club.
Put that crappy club to some use.
It's not like you're
in the Ping-Pong Club or something.
Actually, I am.
Oh...
I need a smoke.
Hey! They'll smell, and they'll catch you.
It's not gonna happen.
HEO WAN-SU (LUCKY)
I never get caught.
KANG MIN-U (RUCKUS)
I always get caught.
-[student] Wan-su! Here!
-[In-pyo] Min-u and Wan-su?
[grunts]
Okay!
[In-pyo] Yeah,
they spend a lot of time together.
Why?
Do the two of them
often get in trouble together?
[Seung-gwon] Uh, Min-u and Wan-su? Yeah.
They're both in my classroom.
[student laughing]
[Seung-gwon] Wan-su's nickname is Lucky
'cause luck always has a way
of finding her.
And Min-u's is Ruckus
'cause stuff happens when he's around.
Min-u used to have feelings for Jellyfish.
[A-ra] He did not.
[Seung-gwon] Yes, he did.
[sighs]
He did not.
How would you know?
You didn't even know I liked you.
[sighs]
You didn't know I liked you either.
Okay, you two.
Get lost!
[man 1] Yeah, so, I thought maybe, uh...
I'll... maybe I can meet you
for lunch tomorrow.
[sighs]
[indistinct chatter]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I'll see you then.
[In-pyo] Min-u is the type who makes
every situation worse.
One day, recently, he lost a hamster
he brought to school.
Why bring a hamster to school?
[upbeat music]
[Min-u giggles]
[Min-u] This hamster is my cute little...
sweet little friend,
my best little buddy.
His name is Fried Ham.
[giggles]
[Wan-su] Min-u brought a rat to school.
Why would you bring it to school?
You're just like each other,
small and stupid.
[Min-u] One day before I went
to Gym class,
I put Fried Ham in his box.
But when I got back, he was gone.
Sure, I put the lid on that box.
[Wan-su] You didn't.
[Min-u] Why did he get out of that box?
[Wan-su] To get away from you.
[Min-u] Where did he go?
Where did Fried Ham go?
Oh, no.
[Eun-young]
Could Wan-su have hidden the hamster?
[In-pyo] Hidden the hamster for six hours?
I doubt it.
[Min-u] Where did you go, Fried Ham?
[Wan-su giggles]
[Wan-su] Where did you go fucking rat?
-[Wan-su laughs]
-[Min-u sobs]
[Eun-young] I can say that the backs
of their heads
are connected by
a sort of weird umbilical cord.
They're the kind that can't help.
[Wan-su laughs]
[Min-u] Wan-su went to the cafeteria
and checked the soup pot
'cause she said he probably fell in there.
Then all the kids thought
they'd eaten him,
and they started crying and throwing up.
I don't know why they did that.
Fried Ham is so adorable.
But then, Wan-su found him for me.
[Wan-su] Ta-da!
[Min-u] He was in the trash can
of another classroom.
[chuckles]
I'm so happy.
That's why we'll be friends forever.
Best friends forever.
There was one time
when Wan-su got in trouble
for selling porn to students.
I thought so.
Does that help you recharge your energy?
Ah!
It must only be used for a good purpose.
Mm-hm.
Om pra mani dhani svaha.
[quirky music]
People only wish for only positive things,
so of course, I feel the same way too.
You don't have many friends, do you?
Oh, and what about you?
Do you have a lot?
Anyway, you're not doing all this
just for yourself, are you?
I bet you don't really have
a single friend.
I have friends.
[scoffs]
Okay. Okay, you win.
[In-pyo] I have no friends.
[Eun-young] I may not go to class reunions
or other people's weddings,
but I do have a very good friend.
How's that?
-Better?
-We met last year
when she bumped her car into mine
in the hospital parking lot.
Just a minute.
-At the time...
-Hold on.
-she was a patient and I was a nurse.
-There.
-Feeling better now?
-Strangely enough...
-she's become like a mother to me.
-Okay?
-She's a shoulder I can lean on.
-Here.
Come out.
That's it.
Well, you did say you saw jellies
all over your school.
[Eun-young] Right.
But these two were born with it.
I can't do anything about that.
Do they... have longish hair?
Mm-hm.
Why? What about it?
You know what they're like.
Jellies are fond of hair.
[sighs]
I wonder...
And so?
What's so wrong about them
being connected?
Friends shouldn't be tethered
to each other.
Not like that.
And why do you think it's so wrong?
They're kids after all.
No. I've seen one of the two
end up dead before.
It's not right.
[breathes sharply]
So...
Shave it.
I'm telling you it's because of the hair.
So shave it off.
[instrument clanging]
[sighs]
I don't want to.
[rasping]
[In-pyo] You know, it could be some
other hair on their body that's the issue.
Oh, really?
You want to give them a bikini wax?
[sighs]
No, like shaving their armpits.
It'll just grow back, of course.
Maybe they could, uh, get electrolysis.
Who would do it?
Ah, shit! Oh, sorry.
Or we could... try tying off the ends...
Putting knots on the ends of their hair.
That would keep the jellies
from attaching.
That's worth considering.
Ah!
Grown-ups talk all the time.
You want me to take care of their hair?
[upbeat music]
Anatomical classification.
PLAN 1: THE HAIR ON THEIR HEADS
That means kind of like naming things
for where they originate. Okay?
[female teacher] So, we classify things
into two branches.
The first is...
Oh, that's wrong. Wait.
No, that's not it.
YOU'D BE CUTE IF IT WEREN'T
FOR YOUR CURLY HAIR- FROM A-RA
Not sympathetic,
it should be autonomic nervous system.
I got it wrong.
The autonomic nervous system.
And this is the sympathetic nervous system
and the parasympathetic nervous system.
Okay, so what does
the sympathetic nervous system do?
That's right, it stimulates.
And this would be something
that hinders stimulation,
so these two have opposite functions.
-Now, for their anatomical classification.
-What?
Let's see where they originate. Okay?
Look, they're split into two categories.
Okay? So, first, the cranial nerve.
Something that extends
from the cranial nerve
and that is... Class?
That's right. The spinal cord.
How many pairs
of cranial nerves are there?
That's right, 12 pairs.
Easy to remember?
I THINK YOU'LL LOOK CUTE
WITH YOUR HEAD SHAVED.
And the spinal nerves?
That's right, 31 pairs.
Again, easy to remember.
Okay. Now the sympathetic nerve
and the parasympathetic nerve
work in opposite ways.
No surprise there, right?
[whirring]
[whirring continues]
Now that I don't have any hair,
do I smell better?
[Eun-young] Shit! I only made it worse.
[chuckles]
There's something on my head?
-[Wan-su] No.
-Then why are you...
[indistinct chatter]
[student giggles]
[indistinct chatter]
We're fucked.
We are?
It wasn't his hair after all of this.
So now what?
[In-pyo] Or we could...
try tying off the ends...
Putting knots on the ends of their hair.
That would keep the jellies
from attaching.
PLAN 2: THE HAIR ON THEIR ARMPITS
[In-pyo] Now, look.
You put this end here...
through the loop.
Like that...
and pull it through like this.
No. That's not quite right.
Almost.
Right through there.
Just pull it through along the line.
Pull it.
I think you're gonna have to start over.
It's tangled.
Okay, look, here. Let me show you.
This end goes here,
and this end goes here.
But yours is really a mess.
You should... Just start over.
[quirky music]
Good. This is a ring knot.
And if you pull on one end of it,
you've got a flat ring knot.
Like this. See?
And if you want a ring knot again,
all you have to do is take the end
and just insert it back in.
It's simple. Okay?
Now, since we're running out of time here,
let's move on to the strawberry knot.
-[sighs]
-I'd be happy with the swan.
Isn't one enough?
No, it isn't.
There's no need to frown about it.
I wasn't frowning.
[door lock clicks]
PING-PONG CLUB
[boy 1] Yeah.
Okay. This is
the Giseong Girls High School.
When we come in through the back gate,
you'll see all these buildings.
But this is the one we want.
None of the students use the back gate
when exams are going on.
They think it's bad luck for them.
-[chuckling]
-From the back gate, there's a bridge.
That'll lead us into the building.
[boy 2] And from there,
we find the main staircase.
The bridge is closed
and locked at 6:30 p.m.
So we gotta be sure to get in before then.
[inaudible dialogue]
On every floor,
there's a teacher on night duty
so you've got to watch out for them.
So what then?
[boy 1] Okay, look.
Here on the third floor, the 11th grade
classroom should be empty.
Between 8:10 and 8:30,
the teachers will be changing shifts.
That's our window.
[suspenseful music]
Getting up the stairs
should take less than a minute.
Once we're passed the hallway, we're safe.
There are no teachers in the classrooms.
[suspenseful music]
[clinks]
[snickers]
Do you really think
we'll get into college doing this?
How do you think
we got into college, you idiot?
[laughter]
This is gonna be sick.
[laughs]
[Min-u] But what if the girls
report them stolen?
[boy 2] Nah, they won't.
They get a kick out of it.
In our day, some of them even traded
them for our phone numbers.
[boy 1] Eventually, we arranged
a group date with them.
[boy 2] Oh, yeah.
[laughs]
[boy 1] Anyway, I wish you guys luck.
[boy 2] Yeah, good hunting.
[groans]
[girls screaming]
That was a dead girl's.
-[giggles]
-[girl 1] That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
That was a dead girl's.
[quacking]
[girl 2] Arrived at last.
[tense music]
[tense music continues]
[snaps]
This is so hard.
So maybe that's enough for today.
Next time, we'll finish the butterfly knot
and go on to the dragonfly knot.
And the dragonfly knot is a bit trickier.
But you can do it.
It's probably best to explain it
with a diagram.
[grunts]
Here.
There's three parts to a dragonfly knot.
You've got a bud knot and a wing knot.
And then a double knot
for the dragonfly's abdomen.
This double knot
is also called a baby knot.
Because in the old days, they thought
it looked like a baby nodding its head.
Though, I don't really see it myself.
But, anyway, if you look at the top...
Do I really have to learn all this?
Of course, you do.
We're not just playing around here,
you know.
We need to find the one that's gonna work.
Let me go over it again.
This is the dragonfly's head.
It's called the bud knot.
And obviously, it's because
it resembles the bud of a lotus blossom.
This one's easy, isn't it?
You tried it, right?
It's easy, right?
Next, we have the wing knot
-which is also not that hard to tie...
-Hey, why are you doing this to me?
You wanna stop?
No, it's all right.
Perhaps if we look at the book. Yeah.
Here.
It explains how
to tie the knot step by step.
