The first 200 lines.
I'll be moving in with her.
To her apartment?
Yes.
You need more room with two children.
We'll stay with Dabin's grandfather and aunt.
With them..?
The grandfather and aunt...
You're going to live in their house?
Uh-huh. Exactly.
Hyongi.
Hyongi, are you insane?
Mom.
Inok.
Pardon me. I should go.
Inok.
- I'll take her home. - Hyongi.
- Hyongi. - Let go.
What is it with you? You say that and just leave?
Let go.
No. See Mom first.
I said let go.
You're nuts. Seriously mental.
You know what you just did to them?
Or is your chick all you care about?
What? "Chick?"
Yeah, chick.
- Over some chick... - Watch your mouth.
You watch YOUR mouth.
You done?
No?
Dad.
Out! If your mom means so little to you.
Out!
Sorry.
Hyongi.
Leave him.
Your mother was right after all.
No wonder she was against it.
Why... why did he..?
Hyongi of all people..?
Was it our sister-in-law?
What sister-in-law?
Inok.
Inok.
Inok.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I didn't mean for it to come out like that.
I'm sorry. Truly.
Go back in.
I'll take you home. Come on.
Just go. That's the best thing right now.
Tell your parents you were wrong, you'll never bring it up...
No.
I was wrong to spring it on them like that.
But my mind is still made up.
It's what we'll do.
Hyongi, please.
Don't cry.
It will be okay, it really will, Inok.
Inok.
I said to go, didn't I?
Mom, lie down. I'll get a blanket.
Get some water.
Okay.
Mom, lie down.
Mom.
Hun, I'm sorry. I should have listened to you.
Where's the blood pressure monitor?
Leave it alone. Just go.
Hun, take this.
I'm fine.
Fine, she says.
Dad.
Here we go.
Wish she be okay?
Where's Hyongi anyway? Did sister-in-law...
Did he take her home?
He's not human.
You see the look on Mom's face?
What kind of man can see that and walk away?
One jerk like me is enough.
Is that a joke?
No.
I'm as shocked as you, that's all.
Where you going?
You're back.
Let's talk.
What were you thinking?
Did you think at all?
She can't live without Dabin.
Her father said he would rear Dabin, told her to get out.
So?
She can't take Dabin, so you have to go there?
I realize you see the world different from the rest of us.
But there's such a thing as common sense.
It's her late husband's father.
This some Buddhist self-immolation?
Living with her late husband's father?
To me he's Inok's father and Dabin's grandfather.
That's just stupid.
And your own parents?
They were speechless, or didn't you notice?
Who cares, as long as you're happy?
Is that it?
Yes, parental love is stronger than filial love.
I grant you that.
But what about Aram?
How will you explain it?
Suddenly her dad has two fathers?
Wake up.
There's no coming back from this, you see that?
What can I do?
Give her up over Dabin?
You going to abandon your folks?
I'm not as filial as you.
But nobody, man or woman, could make me give up my own folks.
How is she?
Who knows.
She told me to hush so here I am.
I swear.
Some night, huh?
Want a drink?
I could use one. Drown out this pain.
Who's to blame?
I should have been tougher on him when he ran away from home.
Sons watch their dads.
It comes back to me.
What?
Hyongi acting different is one thing, but you too?
Like a different person.
I'm the same me. Shut up and pour.
He just runs off cause I tell him to?
He's all, "Yes, sir, yes, sir" to my face...
while stealing the clothes off my back?
Sure, live at your wife's house, Mr. Fancy Pants.
See if I care.
He's back.
Here?
I told you.
You're the sky to her.
If you turn your back, her sky falls.
I never turned my back.
You did today.
Saying you're moving there was like a thunderbolt.
To Dad, too, and me, and Seungi.
Look, I know it's not easy to hear this.
But you're the pillar of this family.
If you shatter, we all shatter.
And this family will fall.
I still don't see what I did wrong.
And I don't see why the family is treating Inok like a criminal.
Just remember this.
The day you move in there...
she's dirt to us.
Why?
Because we know you're the least selfish person on the planet.
She didn't suggest this.
She was against it. She still is.
It won't matter in the end.
It won't change the fact she made you do wrong.
Wrong?
What's so wrong about living there?
Fine.
Look at it this way.
Suppose you and Inok move in with Mrs. Jong and Jin?
You and she go take care of your late wife's mother.
Is that normal?
Would that be fair to her?
With them..?
The grandfather and aunt...
You're going to live in their house?
Hyongi, are you insane?
The number you have dialed...
"Where are u? Home?"
Dad, stop. You'll get drunk.
I've been a lousy husband.
I've got three boys.
And I'm a lousy father.
I'm good for thing.
So I drink.
More.
What good is he?
I thought he was something.
Never a harsh word, never a cross look.
A boy to make a father proud.
Now he smacks me upside the head and drives a stake in his mother's heart.
And we give our blessing.
And he wants to run off?
Like our boy has been stolen from us.
But he came back.
That's something.
Whose side are you on?
You're right.
He's not one to go against his folks.
No one cares for his parents more.
True. Mr. Filial Piety.
I bet he's already sorry for what happened.
You can forget it.
Medicine? Are you sick?
No, just tired. Preventative.
