Nine: Nine Times Time Travel (Nine: Nine Time Travels / Nain: Ahob beonui Shiganyeohaeng / 나인: 아홉 번의 시간여행)

[Jung Woo recognizes Sun Woo and calls Choi Jin Cheol in fear.]

I have everything on tape.

[Sun Woo thought he lost Chang Min but he ends up getting stabbed.]

[Sun Woo convinces Jung Woo to turn himself in, and he tries.]

[But it fails because Choi Jin Cheol has already bribed the detective.]

[Min Young makes a difficult decision for everyone.]

- Sun Woo is refusing treatment? - Yes.

He never came back to the hospital.

We let him get discharged because he promised that he would come for treatments.

This could get serious. Do you have no way of reaching him?

I didn't call him on purpose because he wanted a break.

Okay I will call him.

Ma'am! I told you to come next week!

Hey! It's me.

- When did you get here? - Are you really out of your mind?

You drank all that alone after your surgery?

I'm not supposed to drink?

No wonder it kept hurting.

Is this what you were doing for five days?

You drank all day and night?

It's been five days already?

I had nothing better to do. I had nothing to do all of a sudden.

They announced that I was too hurt to come back. I couldn't go out and have fun.

I can't even go to the hospital. I don't like how the people are looking at me.

I don't have anyone to see either. My co-workers don't even want to see me.

Director hates me.

Min Young is my niece again.

You convinced her really well. She didn't even look back.

Before it was even midnight.

Was it my fault?

Is it hard going back to your place?

Min Young seems to be trying.

I heard she went to the hot springs in Japan with her family.

I was more worried about Min Young, not you.

You were doing so well for months. Even when Min Young was getting married...

Can't you just let it go like you did then?

It's too bright. Close the curtains for me.

Yeah, I got here three days ago.

I didn't know.

He didn't say anything.

Yeah, I will call you when I get back to Seoul.

Hey! Was there news about Uncle Sun Woo not being able to get back because of his wound?

- Who says that? - Se Yoon's mother asked me.

You said that he was okay. What happened?

He doesn't want to work again?

You don't know?

I don't know.

Is he really sick? I should call him.

Sun Woo! You have a phone call.

Hey answer the phone, it's your sister-in-law.

She must be calling from Japan. Answer it.

Hello? Yoo Jin.

Oh! I just wanted a break and I asked them to break that story out.

- It's nothing. - I was worried.

I felt guilty that we came on a vacation when you were sick.

We're doing well. Over here?

It's hot spring here. One sec.

- Why? - Where is this place?

I don't even know the name because you dragged me here.

- Noboribetsu. - You tell him.

Hello?

Uncle Sun Woo! It's me.

Yeah.

We're at Noboribetsu in Hokkaido.

Oh! I see.

What are you doing at home?

What is there to do? I eat, sleep, and have fun. It's fun to be jobless.

It's almost heaven.

How about you? How are you doing?

Of course! I eat, sleep, and have fun.

You know what it's like to be without a job.

- What about Jung Woo? - Dad? He didn't come with us.

He didn't go with you?

No. He had a VIP surgery, so he has to come tomorrow.

He will come. Tomorrow is their anniversary.

I don't know why he even bothers if he's just coming for one night.

I see.

Okay, have fun.

Okay, you too.

Hey, let's drink this and go back to the hot spring.

Again? Doesn't it get old?

It feels so good to sweat. I think I was going to die of frustration.

Get up while you're awake. Let's go eat lunch.

How is Jung Woo doing? I haven't seen him.

Jung Woo? He went on a vacation.

- She says that he didn't come with her. - What?

She said that he didn't go because of his VIP surgery.

What is she saying? He's been on vacation. He didn't come to work today.

But he didn't go to Japan? Where is he then?

- He's not answering? - Call the hospital.

Okay.

Yes, this is Hanseo Hospital.

Dr. Han? Chief?

He's on a vacation today. VIP surgery?

No, that's not on the schedule.

Chief?

Yes? He's not in his office.

I didn't see him leaving the office.

I think he left his phone in the office. I can hear it.

His phone is in the office? The door is locked and he's not answering?

Nurse Park! Ask them to open the door.

Call security.

Hey! You can't drive, you're drunk!

Get in my car.

He wouldn't. He must be stressed too.

He just wants to be alone.

Just like you did.

Hey you can't run!

What's going on? Why are you breaking into his room?

I don't know.

Dr. Han told me to open the door.

He locked it from the inside.

Chief! Can you open the door?

Chief! Open the door.

Isn't that Park Sun Woo? What is he doing here? How shameless.

Chief!

Who are you?

Chief!

Get up! Chief!

Chief.

Move! Move!

I'm sorry for everyone.

Come in.

I didn't have anything else to do. I was drinking.

You want to drink too? This is really good stuff.

I went to see Min Young.

Why don't you two leave?

Then we will go back to America too.

If you go somewhere to settle down, and if we leave as well...

it won't matter what anyone says here.

It will be hard for Min Young's mother to accept it...

but as time goes, she will understand someday.

She's still her mother.

There is nothing I can do for you.

If leaving was best, I would have left already without looking back.

But that's not the best option.

There is no best option here.

It's already way out of control.

It's not about picking the best solution but picking anything that works.

But... even that's not up to us.

Our ways failed once already.

It's up to Min Young to decide.

That's how we will make it fair.

Don't beat yourself up. Min Young chose you as her father.

Life is... really hell.

Give this to my brother, Sun Woo.

What happened?

- Director? - What are you talking about?

This could just be a personal grudge.

From what I've heard, Park Sun Woo's love life wasn't exactly clean.

You deserve to get stabbed in the street if you live like that.

I think this has nothing to do with Choi Jin Cheol.

Hey you bastard! My staff got stabbed and you're jeering about it?

What proof do you have?

If you dare to release anything based solely rumors, I will kill you.

Prick!

- Director! - Don't let anyone give anything to DBM.

Okay.

But sir...

What a prick. I should have taken him out with the Geoje Island case.

Director!

- What? - I just got this.

I found it.

He won't survive tonight.

He seems like he suffered from depression.

But still...

Shouldn't you call your sister-in-law?

If they don't come back soon, they may not see him go.

You want me to call them?

I will call them.

Should we get a guide?

It's a small place. We don't need a guide.

But still, we're on vacation.

Let's go.

Hello?

Yes, Dr. Han. What's going on?

Us? We're at the hotel.

What?

Come out! Let's go.

What? Who is it?

What is it?

I called Min Young.

She says that she bought the plane tickets. It won't take long.

You need to get treated.

Kim?

- Hello? - Where are you?

- What? - They found the man who stabbed you.

Come this way.

I told you to go easy on the water. Look at the water bill!

It wasn't me.

Shut up! You think I'm blind?

Mr. Park! That's...

What the heck?

I think they are here to ticket us.

- Mr. Park Chang Min? - Oh my, welcome.

It's good to see you working hard, Detectives.

How can I help you?

You're under arrest for assaulting Park Sun Woo.

- Take him. - What?

Hold on. What is this?
