I mean, they agreed to sign the

contract last week.

Now they're dragging their feet

and saying weird things,

so they must be looking around.

=Tunnel ahead. Please drive

safely.=

If they signed the contract,

I was going to buy you a bag.

Wait until next time.

=You shouldn't be wasting

your money.=

=Just think about what to

buy Su Jin for her birthday

besides a puppy.=

=Just think about what to

buy Su Jin for her birthday

Our place is too small for a dog.

And they shed too much.

=Oh, I don't know.

What time will you be here?=

I have to take the car into the

garage first.

The horn doesn't work.

=So, when will you be home?=

About 5:

I bought the cake.

Se Hyeon, I'll be home soon!

=Okay.=

Yes, Sir.

I am Lee Jeong Su with the

Hado Agency. I'm driving

now, so please go ahead.

=I told you that I needed

10 cars.=

=But it turns out I'm a little

short of funds.=

=I've decided to buy 8. Can you

include 3 fire extinguishers?=

Sir, my life's motto is all about

3 things.

Offer more. Deliver more.

Discount more.

Of course we can.

Especially since it affects

children's safety.

=You're very refreshing. Then

I'll buy 8. Let's sign the contract

on Monday.=

Thank you, Sir. I will continue

to work hard.

=So, what is the total cost?=

I was a liberal arts major, so

my math skills aren't very good.

I'll stop the car after this tunnel

and figure it out.

Then I'll call you right back.

=Okay, let's do that.=

I'll call you back in a minute.

Thank you.

Please speak louder.=

Tunnel! Tunnel collapse.

Tunnel. Tunnel.

=Do you mean there are rocks

in the tunnel?=

I said the tunnel collapsed.

Just now.

=It collapsed?=

Yes. Please come quickly.

talking about?=

=Hello?=

- Hello?

=Sir, which tunnel are you

talking about?=

=Hello? Hello, Sir?=

This is Hado Tunnel!

Hado Tunnel!

=Hado Tunnel?=

- Yes.

=The Hado Tunnel on Highway

18, is that right?=

That's right.

It's collapsed inside and I'm

trapped in here.

Hello? Hello?

=This is 119 headquarters.=

=Did you say the tunnel has

collapsed around your car?=

I said the tunnel collapsed...

There are rocks on top of me

and rocks all around.

=So how bad does the collapse

seem?=

Very serious. It's completely

caved in.

Stop asking. Can't you just

come quickly?

=Yes, yes. Sir, what is your

name?=

Lee Jeong Su. Lee Jeong Su.

I'm with the Hado Kia Agency.

Lee Jeong Su.

=Okay.=

How long will it be?

=Lee Jeong Su. Okay. If there's

no traffic, they should be there

in 5 minutes.=

Hello? Mister.

=Please wait in a safe place.=

Hello?

Safe place? What bullshit.

If he'd only put in $30 worth

of gas,

I would have made it through

this tunnel. Seriously.

Because of the new construction,

Because of the new construction,

there was almost no traffic
