GODSEND

You're 6 months pregnant. Why come so late?

Come back with your guardian.

What now?

But that's really dangerous!

Will you come?

SURROGATE WANTED

Wait, Miss!

Can we talk?

About what?

- I'm busy. - Wait!

Just 10 minutes?

Is this car expensive?

Why?

It looks like it.

How much is it? $10,000? $20,000?

Don't...

have the abortion.

Why?

Are you from a church or something?

I'll raise it.

What?

I'll raise the baby.

Find someone else. Stop the car.

Then, I'll pay you.

How much?

How much do you want?

How much can you pay?

I can't go around pregnant at this age.

Find someone else.

I'll get a place for you till you have the baby.

No. Go back to the clinic.

Think it over, Miss.

You could get hurt. And you'll feel guilty.

No! Take me back! Or let me off!

Okay!

Okay, Miss.

Stop it! Lay off me!

Give me this car in return.

Wait. Do you know how to drive?

Teach me.

I'll lend it to you till then.

Okay, Miss.

Where's Mom?

Probably at work. Shit.

Get a life, will ya?

Shut up and cook! I'm starving, bitch!

Don't come home, bitch!

You get on my nerves!

Why the tests?

Worried I'll have a weird baby?

Everyone does them.

Everything's fine.

Where's the baby, Miss?

I can't tell.

Here.

It's so tiny.

But you can hear its heartbeat.

How about dinner together?

Hello, sir.

He doesn't talk much.

I see.

Are you in college?

No. I'll apply again next year. And you?

I used to be an interpreter.

Can you teach me English so I can live abroad?

Your family?

Mom and my brother.

Was that your boyfriend who called?

He's just the guy who got me pregnant.

How old is he?

4 or 5 years older, I think.

Is he smart?

Why? Worried the kid will be stupid?

Let's eat.

Keep my car clean and don't wreck it.

Till I can drive it.

Take care.

Say something, honey.

Like what?

Anything.

I don't want details. It's your deal.

Giving your car's a bit much.

We're receiving a life. Is the car so important?

Can't we just adopt? Why go through this?

I can't trust those kids.

Mister?

- Me? - Yes.

Do you have a minute?

If I do this, you'll really give me a laptop?

If you can pass the test.

I can have a laptop now, right?

Come out, now!

Throwing up? Pregnant or something?

You bitch!

Two women living alone in the mountains will be hard.

Just bring us things once a month.

What will you do there?

Grow crops and raise chicken.

I think it'll be fun.

Leaving me alone here, you trust me?

It's only for a few months.

Just till the baby's born.

Want the window opened, Miss?

No. I'm fine.

Please stop calling me 'Miss'.

It's awkward.

It's cuz you seem older being pregnant.

But you'll be the mother.

Let's be like sisters.

Great.

Excuse me?

Do you live around here?

Would you like a ride up?

I'm almost there.

It's my car. Shouldn't you ask if it's okay?

I'm sorry.

My husband's coming once a month.

And there's a market an hour away.

Not too inconvenient.

This is yours.

It's not bad.

Rest, then.

Do you need something?

There's no electricity?

It'll take a few days.

No Internet? What about cell phones?

Probably won't work.

How can we live here for months?

Can you go around pregnant in Seoul?

No.

You'll get used to it soon.

Wanna read this book together?

How to sow seeds and what they look like.

Seeds consist of the endosperm, embryo, and seed coat.

You plant seeds by...

By the way, what's your name?

Seung-yeon.

And you?

I'm So-young.

Let's enjoy it here.

Okay.

What are you planting?

Cabbage.

When will it grow?

We can make Kimchi with this before leaving here.

Really?

Would you like to try?

Here.

Will they grow even if I plant 'em?

Not too deep.

Or they can't grow, but sleep.

- Sleep? Not rot? - Right.

There are countless dormant seeds in the ground.

With the warm sun and rain, they'll sprout.

This is good.

Pat it down softly.

Pat it.

I see.

When will it sprout?

In 3 days.

That fast?

How do you know all this?

It was in the book last night.

Is there anything you can't do?

There is one.

It's a driver's handbook. Let's study with this.

ALL ABOUT PREGNANCY

Shouldn't I read that?

The caretaker should know, too.

Wanna read it?

Maybe later.

Is that book good?

It sucks.

Agonizing over loving or not.

So different from me.

If you're in love, just sleep together.

When are you going to teach me to drive?

How about tomorrow?

Wanna try it?

- Here? - Yeah.

Slowly. That's good.

Press it a little more.

Turn left slightly. Good.

- Is it fun? - Yes, it's cool.

Let's go up a bit more.

Hold on.

Go backwards.

I can't. You do it.

Don't worry. Go!

Where are the sprouts?

They'll sprout tomorrow.

- Doesn't look like it. - They will!

So, when will?
