Rascal Sons (The Sons / Adeulnyeosukdeul / 아들 녀석들)

What's she cleaning for?

It's quiet. Nice and quiet.

Meaning she hasn't said anything.

Excellent.

Divorce not so easy, huh?

Seungi, use your head. You're out of options. Attack is the best defense.

Oh, lovey, sorry. No cabs, so?

I know where you are. Cut the show. Get over here.

Easier to trick a ghost. Honor is due.

Have some.

'kay.

Shnookems.

Don't come in. Outside.

Why, it's empty, isn't it?

Hello.

Oh, it's the little princess?

Aram, I have to go. Will you be all right?

Yes.

Good.

Aram, Nana isn't here, but mind your grandpa and your father.

Be sweet and look after yourself. All right?

'kay.

What was that? Like a goodbye or somethin'...

C'mon, she's just a kid.

Bye, Aram.

You. Now.

Princess Aram, see you soon.

Bye-bye.

Bye.

Shall we go out?

How about Misari?

They have that chilled noodle soup you like. Take our time, have some coffee?

I never liked chilled noodles.

You did last year and the year before.

I have the divorce papers ready.

Already? Sign and done, huh?

I used your seal.

Without asking?

Why? You want to fight in court?

I'll go to the courthouse tomorrow, submit the papers, set a date.

And that's that.

Really? That's easy.

Nice and simple, huh?

About the courthouse.

Why tomorrow?

Why not next week? Tomorrow?

Fine. The day after then.

Don't look like that.

You've ruined enough birthdays. I can survive one more.

But why did you come here?

Not to talk to my dad or Hyongi...

I meant to, but...

But you can't stand to divorce me, I know.

Give me another chance.

Spare yourself the trouble.

What trouble? You think your family can stop me?

Forget that.

They may have you cowed, but not me.

I won't be the one to tell them what you are.

Why didn't you say something?

You have money for your own place?

No?

You'll have to live here. They won't have an ugly lying cheating scum.

Can't have them disowning you.

Okay. Got it. Thank you.

This is your last chance. If you're not there in two days?

Okay, I got it.

Day after tomorrow.

Okay, Roger.

You're happy?

Nuh-uh.

Drive safe.

What? Going somewhere?

Nope. Locking the door.

Oh? Lock up and stay home.

I'm off.

Goodbye.

Now to set up my alibi.

Dental clinic.

Seungi.

Odd? How so?

Seungi said to tell you he and Mirim have been out and about.

But Mirim said different.

You spoke with her?

No. She didn't pick up, but we txt'd.

She said she's been laid up with a cold. She'll call me later.

Oh? When?

Less than an hour ago.

All right. I'll call Seungi.

Yes, sir.

Sorry about this. It's a lot of trouble.

Mirim's my friend, too.

The number you have dialed...

. . . that little . . .

Nice place you got. Something happen?

Nah. I just haven't had time to clean lately.

Drinking last night?

Not last night. I had some at dawn to help me sleep.

Food? Have you been eating?

I know you care and that's fine, but I'm in a bad place right now.

What's on your mind?

When did you talk to Seungi?

Why?

He said he's been out and about with Mirim. Another lie.

He's looking for a peace offering.

Peace? They fighting again?

So it seems.

Why? He carrying on again?

You think she is?

How do you know? You talk to Seungi?

A few days ago I got him out of the storage unit.

Storage?

What's this?

. . . little turd . . .

She kicked him out.

Nothing? He won't take your call.

Leave it. He'll turn it off if you keep calling.

She already did.

You were calling Mirim?

What happened? I can't fix this if I don't know what's wrong.

Pretty shameless to call Mirim. Wait to talk to Seungi, as frustrating as it is.

Mirim is only human. She can only take so much.

She finally decided to teach him a lesson.

I swear.

He won't take your call.

I'll call him later. Put it out of your mind for now.

Don't say anything to dad.

I won't.

Bye.

The studio guys are coming today. Save me!

There you are. I knew you'd make it.

Just not this speedy.

Sit.

I told you, no more TV or films.

Just sit.

Did you forget I nearly gave it up over "Butterfly"?

It didn't hurt your career.

Your lips said one thing, your words another.

The TV adaptation sold another 500,000 copies.

They want to do a movie of "Magic Lily."

I won't sell. Not for any price.

Mingi, you're killing me here.

Settle down. We're closing our doors.

We're barely scraping by on Magic Lily. I can barely sleep anymore.

Okay, I'll write another book.

Since you're writing, about second one? Or five, how's that?

But no TV or movies. - Fine, fine.

How long you keeping to the paranormal stuff?

You're the one that said a man can't write romances.

Sure I did.

But that before you made it big.

Maybe I should quit.

Nothing's ever simple with you, huh?

Hang on.

Ah, sorry-sorry-sorry, I forgot, right.

Uh-huh.

Mingi, you know a web designer?

Web designer?

Lee Sinyong, Web Designer!

Congratulations.

Thanks, Mingi.

You know more people than I thought.

It's not my contacts. Sinyong just hit luck.

True.

You never go to the publisher. The one time you do, the call comes in.

That's luck.

You never go? Why?

He hates the rarified air.

So they approach him for a book?

Approach? Beg, plead, wait.

We're in the presence of genius.

Well said. Don't stop.

More? - More.

- Here? - More.

Sinyong. You mind her using your office for the time being?

My office?

She's got a month.

With an office she can finish in 10 days.

What? No?

Yeah. No.

Really no?

Really really no. Why give up my single lifestyle for her?

See that? Still now?

See what?

Your pouty face. Busted.

Nuh-uh. He can keep his stinking office.

Enough you two.

- Where you going? - Never you mind.

- Sinyong. - Restroom.

Your office. She'll have to work through the night.

I don't want her to be alone.

I know it's hard on you.

I get that. But you're the only one I can trust.

Nice work.

Dad. - Keep it up.

What brings you here?

I was on my way to the doctor.

You went to the hospital?

It's nothing, just a check-up for my prescriptions.

I'm sorry, I should have been with you.
