The Equator Man (적도의 남자 / Jeogdoui Namja)

Are you doing this because you feel sorry?

I really have something to do. I'm late.

Do you really have an engagement?

I said I'm not lying!

Father!

Father.

Father!

Breathe! Try breathing Dad!

Breathe!

Please!

Wake up Dad!

I think he's dead.

He's not dead!

My dad is alive!

Dad, breathe.

Dad, open your eyes.

We have to call for help.

Kim Kyung Pil!

I said open your eyes!

Father...

Dad, wake up. Dad...

Dad, let's go to the hospital.

Father!

Father!

Father...

Dad, wake up.

Dad!

I want that child to be Moon Tae Joo's

But Tae Joo's not that kind of man.

That's why he loved your fiance.

He's not a man like you.

Sir! I brought the plants! Shall I plant them?

Sir! Sir!

Wake up!

So why did you upset the president?

Look here. Come to your senses and wake up.

He seems to be breathing.

We should call for help.

Sir.

Are you trying to tell them that a dead person's here?

Who's here besides you?

It's just me here.

Did you say your son's name is Jang Il?

Yes.

Is he still good at studying?

Yes.

Young Bae...

Yes sir.

Let's keep this between the two of us.

I'll take care of Jang Il.

What do you mean?

Bury him.

I can't do that.

I can't do that.

Whether you son wants to go abroad or go to university, I'll support him.

I'm saying I can make your son into a man who is powerful and respected.

President. Please.

Think it over. Isn't it a shame to keep your son in this countryside?

President. Have mercy.

Have mercy.

Don't be afraid.

I have more to lose than you.

President...

Help me.

Save me.

Whether you son wants to abroad or go to university, I'll support him.

I can make him a man who is powerful and respected.

President...

The president...

Father.

Father. Are you not there?

Jang Il!

You've been working in the rain?

It's three in the morning.

Why did you come in here? Just go.

It's pouring, and you weren't coming home.

I'll find my way home.

So just go.

I was supposed to meet my dad today because it's my birthday.

When was the last time you saw your dad?

Sunday.

He said he had something to deliver in Seoul.

But he's not wearing what he wore when he left.

I think he stopped by the house.

Did you know your dad was sick?

He had cancer. There are a lot of medical records showing his condition.

It's not my father! He's not the type of person to die just because he has cancer.

Your father's medical report. It was in his pocket.

I don't believe it.

My father wouldn't do this.

He has no antagonistic acquaintances.

There aren't any suspicious marks either.

Please look into it further.

It doesn't make sense that a father would commit suicide on his son's birthday.

Okay, I get it. Go home for today.

My dad... wouldn't commit suicide.

Will you be okay?

Jang Il.

My father would never do that.

If someone did that to my father...

I'lll never forgive him.

Yeah.

Let's go home and get some rest.

Why did you make so much food?

This isn't a lot. With all the studying you do... Sit down. Let's eat.

Why? Did you suddenly want seaweed soup?

It's just that it was my friend's birthday, so we were going to have a meal.

But his father commited suicide.

He was the one who discovered the body.

Oh really? That's unfortunate.

Which friend?

The friend I met at the restaurant.

I told you not to make friends with kids like that.

Son.

Yes?

You can go to a university in Seoul.

My boss set up a scholarship fund.

He's going to give it to a student who shows outstanding merit.

But you got chosen.

Not only tuition, but your daily living expenses are covered too.

No way.

If you want, you can study abroad or go to any university. No strings attached.

That's crazy.

But why so suddenly?

And the debt we have, we can pay it off.

I paid it all off today.

We won't have to hide from those thugs anymore.

Father...

We're meeting the president this weekend. Don't forget.

Really?

Why of course!

How could this happen...

All you have to do is study hard. Okay?

Now eat.

Eat.

Sun Woo. Are you sleeping?

Your father's here.

Father.

Sun Woo.

Did you really do that?

My son wouldn't do that.

Did you really do it?

I'm sorry you have a bad father.

Father.

Why did you do it?

I can't believe it.

Class head.

Let's go get free food.

It's a luxurious buffet.

No.

Father's having an event, and we can bring friends.

He just wants to see the daughter.

We can come back after we have dinner.

- It's going to be worth it. - Let's go.

That was Soh Dok Cha's performance.

Next, a change of mood.

Up now is the daughter of Mr. Han. Please give a warm round of applause.

Everyone. Hello. My name is Han Ji Won.

People said you'd clap out of obligation because I'm the President's daughter.

They tried to stop me from peforming.

But I came anyway.

You really do clap a lot.

The company is everything to my father.

He placed work above his three children.

To the mothers, fathers, uncles, and aunts...

thank you for working with my father.

We'll keep working hard, so please don't waver at rumors.

Let's build this into a greater company.

Everyone, fighting!

You're very good looking.

When I think of smart kids, I always think they're ugly and wear glasses.

Your name is Lee Jang Il?

Yes.

You'll be a hit if you go to university in Seoul.

The girls will line up to date you.

What do you mean?

We'd be lucky if one girl was interested.

Thank you.

So Jang Il, what are your goals?

I want to go to law school and become a prosecutor.

Why?

There are so many problems among the poor and disenfranchised.

I want to help with their problems.

You are very focused for your age.

This is a special allowance in addition to your scholarship.

We think of you as our own, so just study with a relaxed heart.

Thank you.

They're in the middle of another meeting right now.

I'll just give her this.

She won't take this.

They took it before.

We came all the way from Seoul. It'll only take a little while.

Then please wait here.

What are you doing? Come here!

I'll clean up around here first. You go home first.

Jang Il!

Just give me thirty dollars from the allowance the President gave you.

I'll go buy some food.

Take it all.

No. I just need some for food.
