what I think it is?

What?

Rats!

Right?

I'm right... the rats!

I've tried all kinds

of poison on them.

Don't underestimate them.

Well, thanks everyone.

Tomorrow...

Mr. Piper,

tell us what you were

going to say about rats.

If you've got some solution,

you could stay a few days and...

He's leaving tomorrow!

Don't bother him like that.

Oh, not at all!

You've been so gracious to me.

His method might work,

unlike someone else's.

Oh my!

Damn rats give me the shivers!

But where has that

Cheong ju lady got off to?

Did you see that?

Beasts with ears all move

at the sound of my pipe.

That's amazing.

Let's try it, shall we?

I'll get ready,

and show you tomorrow.

Okay?

If you drive out every rat,

I'll pay you the price of a cow.

What?

The price of a cow?

Father.

Where would we get that money?

I'll sell the family heirlooms

if necessary.

I'm a man of my word.

The price of a pig would be

enough to cure my son.

What do you all think?

If you're willing to

do that for us...

We'd be eternally grateful.

It looks like you've been hired.

Say thank you.

I'm so obliged, Chief.

Thank you.

Thank you, everyone.

I'll start from tomorrow.

Promise me once again.

But the war...

Armistice!

A short break in the war.

Ah!

Armistice, yes!

If you don't comply,

I won't sit by idly.

Idly?

What does 'idly' mean?

It means to

keep your mouth shut!

Ah, 'idly!'

I know!

Idly means, "keep quiet."

Aha!

Oh god.

Where are they?

Are they here?

You scared me!

Over here!

Oh, it's Chulsoo's Dad!

Down here.

What is it?

I heard you used

to sell medicine?

- Yeah... ah!

- That thing.

- What thing?

- You know.

Ah, this thing?

That's right!

- If you take medicine...

- It gets like this?

That's right!

Lasts a long time?

Well, it doesn't

need to get that big.

Okay.

Anyway, that medicine...!

Have you got it?

No.

Where would I get that?

Dammit!

Rats!

Where?

I'll catch those...

No, I'm just cursing.

Foot's asleep.

What's with you?

I don't have it now,

but I'll make some.

Really?

I promise.

Thanks, Little Brother!

Big Brother?

If the effect starts to wear off,

twist your nose like this.

Like this?

Like this.

Like this!

Got it, Little Brother?

Yes, Big Brother.

- Like this!

- Like this!

Wow, look how the wind

blows towards the village!

Oh, that's great.

Ma'am, how about my father?

What about him?

He's strong and manly!

He's good at everything.

I take after him, right?

Sure you do!

Do you know what

tuberculosis is?

I've got lung disease,

they call it tuberculosis.

What about your mom?

My mom? She's in heaven.

You must have been really sad.

What about your family?

Look at me.
