ONCE UPON A SMALL TOWN

Oh, my goodness!

What is this? What are you doing hiding there?

Why are you being so sneaky?

I've never seen this car around.

What on earth are you doing here at this hour?

Get out of the car. Who are you?

Who is that?

I've never seen this car before.

Come on out. Who are you?

Who are you?

Yes, hello.

Come on out just for a moment. Who are you?

Oh, my gosh! You scared me to death!

My goodness, my heart. What on earth?

Doctor, it's you.

-And Ja-young? -Hey, Auntie.

-What the heck is going on? -Yes, I…

Are you dating him, Yeong-suk?

Yes, we are dating.

-Now you know. -We…

We accidentally ran into each other after work.

-Right. -Are you on your way

to pick up Cheol-yong?

Yes, that's right.

But never mind that.

This is a much more important matter now.

So who are you? You don't look like a local.

No, I'm not.

Hello, I'm…

Well, he's…

He's a close friend of mine. We work together in Seoul.

Yes, hello.

He's from Seoul?

Yeong-suk.

Yeong-suk, you…

-You're dating a man from Seoul. -Auntie.

-A man from Seoul… -I'll talk to Yeong-suk.

-So let's go get Cheol-yong. -Seoul?

Okay. Nice to meet you. You're handsome.

And you have a nice car.

Yeong-suk.

-Yeong-suk, you're dating a man from… -Let's go already!

Yun-hyeong?

-Yun-hyeong. -Yes?

Oh, right.

Yeong-suk.

How did this happen?

So?

When did you start dating?

I missed her so much, so I came to see her for a little bit.

I've finished all my work for the day, so don't nag me about it, okay?

Anyhow,

you've succeeded, haven't you?

That's Officer Ahn, right?

I told you.

You start acting on my advice and love begins just like that.

-Good boy. -Hey.

Well done.

Yun-hyeong, if you're not serious about her,

I'm against this.

Assistant Lee is such a nice person.

Would you drive hours to see someone you're not serious about?

I'm serious too, you little punk.

You think you're the only one in a serious relationship?

So?

How do you think this is going to end?

How do you think it's going to end?

I want to see her for a very long time.

But we just started dating, so I'll have to hear what she thinks.

I don't know, man. How can I think of that by myself?

It takes two people to figure out a relationship.

People talk about love at first sight. About how you just know they're the one.

But I had no idea that I'd experience it myself.

Isn't she just so pretty?

I've been going crazy these days.

Seriously.

I'm so happy.

Want to go to the movies on your day off? Like a normal date.

I'd love to! What movie should we watch?

I looked it up

and the nearest movie theater is a bit far away.

Yes, that's still the closest one around here.

Since everyone works in the morning, let's go to an early movie.

I think that would be the safest.

Then I'll book the earliest showtime.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

What?

But I thought there was nothing scheduled for this morning.

Yes, but I just got an urgent call.

There are signs of premature labor.

They said that the mother's water broke and she was bleeding too,

so I said I'd give you a call.

Good morning, Nurungji.

I'll be back, my baby. Oh, my gosh. I'll see you later.

Yes, Chief.

Hey. We need you to come in.

What's going on?

You know the old lady with Alzheimer's at the chicken farm?

She's gone missing again.

You've tracked her down a few times before.

Her son wants you to help look for her since you're the only one she recognizes.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Okay.

Should we just catch a late-night movie?

-Sounds good. -I heard she disappeared again.

I'll go that way.

Okay.

It takes a little over an hour to get to the theater,

so let's meet around nine.

Have you seen Ms. Gil?

Excuse me, have you seen Ms. Gil?

It's been having diarrhea since yesterday.

You fed it corn, didn't you?

I'll administer antibiotics one last time, but…

Ms. Gil!

Darn it!

Yes, Ms. Lee.

Ms. Gil…

Ms. Gil!

Try to keep the floor a little cleaner.

Ms. Gil, where are you?

Ms. Gil!

Ms. Gil!

Ms. Gil!

SANDEUL POLICE STATION

-Is he on his way? -Yes.

Mom, let's go already. I'm tired. Hurry up and get in.

Hurry.

-Good night. -Get in.

Thank you as always, Officer Ahn.

-Thank you. -Okay, take care.

-Let's hang out another time, Ms. Gil. -Jeez, Mom. Get in.

My goodness.

Good work, both of you.

Especially you. Thank you for doing this on your day off.

-I'm proud of you. -Then I'll…

Will you buy us dinner then?

Okay. Let's have a team dinner.

-All right, my treat. Let's go. -Wait, I…

-The thing is… -Do you have plans?

Stay just for a while.

-I'll let you go soon! -No, I really--

We'll just grab a bite. I'm just so proud of you.

-Let's go. -What should we eat?

We can go see a movie another time, so just enjoy your dinner.

They have good meat here.

No way. We've already put it off once.

Watch where you're going, dude.

Oh, my goodness.

It's fine.

- I'll be there no matter what. -I'm fine.

I'm leaving right after dinner.

I'll see you outside the community center at nine.

I guess I'll go home, shower, and then head over there.

Is it good? Hey, let's dig in.

There, I had a bite.

Wait, literally one bite? Hey!

-Hey! -You're really leaving?

Hey!

Get over here.

-What the hell do you want? -Come here!

-Darn it. -Hey, stop that!

-Break it up! -You want a piece of this?

-Hey! -Stop it!

-You're going to hurt yourself! -Let go of me!

Why can't they just have a nice drink together?

I guess you're closed for tonight. My goodness.

I'm really okay.

Let's go to the movies another time.

Call me when you're done.

Jeez, these people.

My goodness.

Hey, Officer Ahn.

-You… -I sent them away.

Okay, well done.

Hey, what's wrong with you?

OFFICER AHN

You wait right there.

I'm on my way.

Should I call her?

-This is nice, even in the summer. -It is.

Isn't that Doctor Han?

Doctor Han?

It is you. Hey.

-Hello. -Hi, what are you doing here?

-Pardon? -What are you doing here?

The weather was nice, so…

-I was taking a stroll. -A stroll?

But it's so dark out.

You're a walking mosquito feast.

Someone once had the same idea and died falling into a rice paddy.

Hey.

Isn't that Ja-young?

It is.

Or is it?

-Ja-young. -Officer Ahn.

What's wrong, Ja-young?

Officer Ahn.

-What's going on? -Did she look drunk to you?
