Taxi Driver (모범택시)

The show at the castle was good.

His acting is the best.

Not yet?

Testing, testing. Can everyone hear me?

Sorry about that. The ships were all backed up.

Thank you all so much for your patience.

The main event will begin shortly. We have a wide variety of goods,

so I hope you'll pay close attention.

Hey!

- Get moving! - Hey, get out!

I said, get moving!

Alright, alright. Make way.

Good evening, everyone! Thank you!

Good evening. Can you all hear me? How are we all doing tonight?

Yes, it's a beautiful night, isn't it?

Not that we can see anything in the dark.

Shall we get right to it?

The format is the same as last time.

I'll show items. If you like one, please enter your bid.

Alright then, shall we begin?

And we're off! She's 168cm, size 2. This lovely lady is from Russia.

What shall we start the bidding at? Let's start at 5. It's 5.

If you'd like to bid, please turn on your laser pointers.

What do you all think? If you're interested, don't be shy.

You can't pass this one up. Look at this smooth skin,

don't you want a taste? Is that all, everyone?

She's Russian, everyone. Russian. Take a good look.

We have 80.

We have 87.

Are you going to place a bid?

No.

She's not my type.

She's a beauty! Here, take a look. Anyone else?

She's young and fresh.

Come on, come on. Let's get those bids higher.

She's in her prime!

There we go! Do you see that?

Look at that. We have 100.

I have 100. Anyone else?

We got 120.

Any other bids? More than 120.

Sold! For 12,000 dollars. Thank you.

Alright, take her away.

Welcome, you jerks.

Don't come close.

Who the hell are you?

I'm a taxi...

A taxi driver.

A taxi driver?

What's with the smug look then?

Please, just let me out of here. Please?

- Come on! Let's go! - Yes, sir.

- Run for it! - Hey! Come on out!

Hello?

My name is Yun I Seo.

Please, you have to help me.

Okay, we're on our way to you.

Where are you right now?

There she is. Over there!

Hey!

Hello?

Yun I Seo?

Hello? Yun I Seo? Are you still there?

Can you hear me?

Yun I Seo!

Sir, watch out!

He looks familiar.

What are you talking about? You're just seeing things.

- Just my imagination? - Yeah.

This Hongdongbaekseo and Joyurisi... Where am I supposed to put this?

Just put it anywhere so we can get started.

We can't just rush through this. It has to be done with care.

What if we upset our ancestors?

Ancestors. Please.

Go Eun's right. About Joyurisi... It's not an ancient tradition.

Time's up. Hurry or I'm gone.

All set.

This car is gorgeous.

What about your old car?

I'm going to sell it. I'll get it all tuned up first.

Please watch over this car...

and grant us safe travels wherever we go.

Well, I have to admit, seeing the new car is pretty nice.

- Straight from the airport? - Yes.

You should've at least dropped off your luggage first.

I know. I was in such a rush, it completely slipped my mind.

- Sorry I'm late. - Hey, glad you're here.

- You should be a little quicker. - Oh, please. You have no idea.

How is he supposed to know where his fare is going to get off?

That's what I mean.

Driver Kim Do Gi wasn't even late, but I gave him a hard time anyway.

How was your trip to Japan?

We should find out what happened to Yun I Seo.

I guess I should be the one to go to the school, right?

Now where did I put my school uniform?

Wait a minute...

It'll be easier to question students as a teacher.

A teacher?

Hey.

Break's over, but you're all still out and about.

Hello.

Alright.

You're all such dedicated students, studying even during your break.

- Who's that? - I don't know.

Awkward.

- What was that? - Did he just say "Awkward?"

- What's that? - My goodness.

- Study hall? - Did the schedule change?

Who's the class president?

That's me?

Alright.

Alright, everyone, keep up the hard work.

I'm rooting for you all.

Class president, can I have a word with you?

Hang on a second.

You know Yun I Seo, right?

We're in the same class, so I know who she is,

but I don't know her well.

She hasn't been around school much lately, right?

She turned in a form saying she was going to some camp.

I'm sorry, who are you?

So she went to a camp.

Where?

- Japan? - That I wouldn't know.

By any chance, are you our new assistant homeroom teacher?

This camp... Is it a real camp?

Doesn't the school usually sponsor things like that?

I Seo's family is not well-off, so she gets a special scholarship.

Maybe the scholarship foundation sent her?

But why do you keep asking such weird questions?

Why do you think?

I'm asking because I'm worried.

You're the Class President.

One of your classmates has gone missing,

and I guess you're not worried at all?

Your granddaughter looks just like you.

Really? Well, she didn't get her brains from me,

but she's an incredibly bright student.

She and a friend have been studying at a boarding academy, I think.

Who knew studying could be so much fun?

A boarding academy?

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- I gave you the whole row. - You shouldn't have.

My goodness.

- Enjoy! - Yes, thank you.

- Take care now. - You too.

- Yes, Mr. Jang. - Hey, Driver Kim.

I heard her family thinks she's at a boarding academy.

But she told the school she was going to a camp.

So she lied to her family and school and left the country ten days ago.

I'll have to ask Go Eun to check immigration records and CCTV.

Are you heading back now?

I'll head back after I meet one more person.

You have something to tell me, don't you?

No, I don't.

I think we have something in common.

We're both worried about I Seo.

It's because of me.

It's my fault this happened to I Seo.

Can you tell me...

what happened?

Hey, I Seo.

This is so much fun.

- You gotta try this. - What is it?

I saw it on a webtoon site. You just pick 1 of the 2.

- I'm not really good at games. - This one's super easy.

I have to see a teacher. Play for me? I'll be right back.

I won.

What a cute cat.

Hello?

Who is it?

Grandma, I told you about her. She's Ye Ji, the new transfer.

- What's this for? - You won it for us. Let's split it.

But I just won a game.

It feels a little weird getting real money for it.

- See? It's fun when you win, right? - Yes.

It is pretty amazing, though.

50 Dollars a day times 30. That's 1,050 dollars.

Hey, with this money, my grandma could get eye surgery!

- Now you can get surgery, Grandma. - Sweetie.

Don't you worry about me. Your grandma can see just fine.

- You know that's not true. - Yes! Hey, I won again!

- See? It really works. Wanna try? - Go on, you try it. Quick.

Okay, I'll do it.

Okay.

From the day...

she cashed out her points,

- Hey, I just... - she became desperate for points.

Between people, there is an island.

And I long to go to that island.

The island symbolizes the breakdown...

of social connection in today's world...

- and a sense of alienation. - When she won and received points,

she would feel so relieved.
