The people in town said

she'd be here.

I know it's late, but I had to come.

Hi Baby, you were here?

Can't you even say

hello to your father, b*tch?

Why do you hit your child?

Who? Who hit his child?

You may not know,

but that girl has problems.

When she can't control her own anger,

she bashes her head into things.

Just like her mother.

Go on and tell her.

- Mr. Park.

- What?

Don't take this so lightly.

I've warned

you several times already.

Okay, so I got a little drunk

and that... did that thing before.

It hasn't been long since your mother

passed, and I understand you're upset.

Yes, that's why I had a

drink just now.

I'll keep Dohee during the vacation.

After you get yourself together,

you can come and get her.

Okay, if you insist.

If that's what you want.

Please go.

Hey.

Now you better behave and

do as Chief tells you.

Bye.

What is it?

I have to pee.

Come in.

It's all right, I won't look.

Can I go in there too?

So warm!

Can I drink some of this?

You're too young!

Have a taste.

Why do you drink?

To sleep.

You can't sleep?

No.

Why not?

I don't know.

However much I get beaten, if I dance

it off, I feel better and can sleep.

Should I teach you?

I'll just watch you dance.

Grandma hated it.

"Acting like a mutt,

just like her mom!"

It's all right.

You told me if I did nothing wrong,

I shouldn't get beaten.

I was just trying

not to get beat up.

It's so cold!

Chief, it is you!

It's funny seeing you here.

Hello.

- The water is so cold

- Isn't this Yong-ha's daughter?

Did you come here to

hang out with the chief?

I'm here to see Chief Lee Young-nam.

I'm going out...

No, I'm taking the day off.

Please wrap things up for me.

Yes, ma'am.

You're home early!

You're here?

Hi.

Lock the door, okay?

When are you coming back?

Where are you going?

I'll be back late.

Don't wait up.

Didn't know you'd be

in a place like this.

You cut your hair.

It looks tacky.

Did you have to do this?

Did you have to come so far?

I'm sorry.

Why don't you pick up?

It keeps ringing.

Hey.

I'll be home later.

Go to bed.

Who is that kid?

She's from the neighborhood.

I'm looking after her for now.

Why don't you eat?

You said you're hungry.

You used to say alcohol is bitter

when you drink alone.

Can't we start over?

Should I move down here?

I'm moving to Australia.

Good for you.

You always wanted to go.

Did I say I wanted to go alone?

You're always like this.

You get hurt a bit,

and then run away.

You're drunk. Sleep over.

You're the one who's drunk.

You're always drunk.

You can't even sleep

without drinking.

Why do you still drink so much?

Why do you care?
