That flower seen as I went down

I couldn't see it
FLOWERS OF A MOMENT by Ko Un
Watch your step, Jin-woo!
- They're selling the subsidiaries. - I heard.
Like that will do anything to solve this mess.
Half the management already got sacked.
You think we're next?
ROUTER SECURITIES CORP.
That's all you have to say?
Give us an explanation for this disaster!
We were only following company guidelines!
Let's try to be rational here.
What was the risk management department doing?
How could they sit around and let this happen?
What have you people made us do?
- You pressured us into this! - That's ridiculous!
How do you expect us to repair the damages?
Why aren't you going in, KANG?
- The company has a plan... - The president told me himself.
That we won't file for bankruptcy.
I assured my clients...
- I know, I know. - Even my friends and relatives...
I've heard enough!
I know you put in your own money to rack up sales.
We're doing everything we can.
- It's 1.3 trillion dollars! - Mr. KANG!
What's gotten into you?
Don't act like you didn't know.
Are you suggesting we deliberately tried to trick you brokers?
You knew all along. You just didn't believe it.
I expected more from a smart kid like you.
STOCK FRAUD
KANG Jae-hoon!
My money made you head manager. Step up and do something!
Come on!
Don't you have anything to say?
- How are you gonna fix this? - This is what you meant by "high yield"?
Look, it's on the news!
Turn up the volume.
ROUTER SECURITIES CEO INDICTED FOR SELLING BAD LOANS
Goddamn crooks!
They tricked us all!
You said it was safe.
You said they wouldn't file for bankruptcy.
It was a scam, lady!
I take full responsibility.
You're the manager. You can fix this, can't you?
Help me, please. I know you can.
I apologize.
On behalf of all our employees...
Shut up!
- Please, don't do this. - The nerve of you...
Spitting out excuses.
Are you all right, sir?
You've been taking your medication?
Yes.
And how did you feel these past two mornings?
I'm just getting by.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY I MISS YOU
FROM SOO-JIN JIN-WOO AND I WILL GO A WEEK LATER.
THAT'S OKAY, RIGHT?
- Hi, honey. - What's the matter?
I'm just asking what you think.
Don't ask me when you've already decided.
I'm waiting on some results coming in next week and...
Never mind. Do what you have to do.

This stop is Bondi Junction.
What's wrong, Chichi? Come back!
Welcome.
Hello?
Yeah.
I waited for thirty minutes, but no one came.
I see.
I'm at the restaurant in front of Backpacker Inn.
That's right.
So you have the money ready?
It's just my first time doing private currency exchange.
I have the money ready.
Sure.
Right now?
Then I'll wait outside. Okay.
- Hey. - Hello.
I don't think we're understanding each other very well.
You need to sign in to access your bank account.
Then can't we meet again when I can get online?
But why would you wait when we can get you online at my house?
It's just that I expected you to be bringing cash.
Damn working holiday losers.
Let's just go.
Are you gonna do this or not?
It's your decision.
- Fine. - Then get in.
Hey.
You two plan to keep this up, without a valid visa?
I'm not going back to Korea, that's for sure.
Don't you have any goals or dreams?
Come on, man.
Dreams are worth shit. I'm here to enjoy life.
Stop nagging us, jackass.
You talk big for someone that practically lives at the casino.
- Excuse me? - Big man with his extended visa.
- Stop with that attitude! - What?
She didn't offend you, did she?
In-ho isn't upset. He was just born uptight.
Have you lost your mind?
Yeah, I think she has.
Snap out of it.
- She's fucking losing it. - Get yourself together!
He's freaking out too.
- Come on, In-ho. - Just shut her up.
There's nothing but crap in her bag.
- Broke-ass bitch. - She must have a rich heart.
How's that gonna help me, huh?
Do you think you can walk?
I just need to get to that building up ahead.
You're Korean, aren't you?
My name is YOO Gin-ah.
They call me Gina here.
I was having a pretty bad day...
Thank you for helping me.
Install this on the inside, but with no keyhole?
We'll just use it to lock up from the inside.
- What for? - No one can see the second lock.
So no one besides us can get inside.
- What if Jin-woo locks it? - Install it up beyond his reach.
- Isn't this a bit much? - I get scared when you're not home.
It's a scary world out there.
I know your name. Chichi.
SOO-JIN LEE THE SYDNEY ORCHESTRA APPLICATION
- You're really selling it? - Yeah.
You can just play it as a hobby.
Working at something every day is too exhausting.
Australia?
You said the States last time.
It's in the same time zone and they have better weather.
Not to mention better exchange rates.
- There's no time difference? - Sydney is an hour faster.
But Jin-woo will learn English in kindergarten...
Soo-jin!
You and Jin-woo both need to learn to speak English.
People fluent in English are in a whole other economic sector.
- For how long? - Let's start with two years.
See you tonight.
Mommy!
Chichi is pooping!
Where?
Don't poop here again, or I'll really punish you!
Stop that! You'll lose all your eyebrows!
No, that's wrong.
Shouldn't you be getting ready for the beach?
Just four more answers to go.
But that's too many.

Keep going. What else?

Be careful, Jin-woo!
Jin-woo!
Careful!
GENERAL SKILLED MIGRATION PROGRAM
You know what they say?
Peeling oranges for someone is caring, but peeling shrimp is true love.
Mister.
- What are you doing here? - I was meeting someone nearby.
- Are you feeling better? - Yes. Thank you.
That's good.
I normally wouldn't ask for something like this...
I'm sorry, but I...
- There's nothing I can do here. - Can't you help me once?
I came here on working holiday two years ago.
I'm very sorry, but I have to be going.
You just have to go with me.
I'm afraid to go alone... And I don't know anyone.
I can't go back to Korea without that money.
These people were supposed to help me exchange Australian dollars...
Why didn't you just go to the bank?
They offered me a better exchange rate.
It was 1,300 won when I came. Now it's less than 900.
How much were you changing?
19,000 Australian dollars.
- You just gave them all that money? - No, I didn't give...
They took it from you?
Yes.
I can't go to the police because I've overstayed my visa.
I'm sorry to say this, but you won't get it back.
But I saved that money for two years, working ten hours a day.
- Can't you please help me? - I'm really sorry.
Please help me, Mister!
It was somewhere around here...
I think we passed this street before.
I should've checked the street name.
I'm sorry. I was so distraught.
- You said their house was white? - Yes.
I get up at four in the morning.
Then I wash up.
I don't, really.
I just go and get on the van.
They drop us off at a farm about thirty minutes away.
Are you mad?
No, it's nothing.
- Did I do something wrong? - Not at all.
It's not you, Gina. I'm just having some issues.
What does it mean if someone starts looking for a job
when their visa is expiring in three months?
They can get a new visa and won't have to go back to Korea.
I sent my wife and child here two years ago, but I was never that curious.
I just heard their voices over the phone.
Just assumed they were doing fine.
Oh.
So you're living apart?
I don't know how their lives have been here,
and why she's suddenly looking for a job.
Should we pick up on the street of that last house tomorrow?
No, I'll look ahead of time.
- I'll find the house first and... - Can you go by yourself?
Sure.
Hi, Mr. Kim.
It's Jin-woo's mom, Apartment 201.
Yes, we're good. I'm sorry to call so late.
It's just that I can't seem to reach my husband.
Could you go up and check, please?
Press 0-1-2-7 and star.
0-1-2...
2-7 and star.
Yes, please. Thank you.
Hello? Anyone home?
Why did you come all the way here?
Stop following me.
Hurry back home!
You're here so soon.
- Did you find the house? - I did.
Where did he come from?
What's your name?
- It's Chichi. - Chichi?
You're so adorable, Chichi!
- Shall we? - Sure.
Turns out we were going in the opposite direction last night.
You got into a car at the restaurant, right?
How did you know?
I rode that car here.
They didn't just take your money, did they?
How did you meet them?
An online community.
I trusted them because they were Korean.
They were on working holiday too.
No one was home when I came by this afternoon.
It's this house.
What's this?
This wasn't here earlier.
Hey! Excuse me!
Open up!
This can't be happening...
Anybody in there?
Hey! Is anybody in there?
If a deal is too good to be true, it always is.
I've never had any doubts in the work that I do.
But I got promoted by selling bad loans to my clients.
That's how I sent my wife and child here.
But it cost me my entire fortune and the trust of my clients.
I lost my family and friends.
And I lost myself in the end.
When you get on the bus at five in the morning,
you realize that no one is poor because they're lazy.
That's true.
I was so proud of all my success, but it meant nothing in the end.
Looks like I've come too far to turn it all around.
See you later.
Wish me luck.

APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCY IN AUSTRALIA
NAME OF APPLICANT SOO-JIN LEE
FAMILY MEMBER JAE-HOON KANG, JIN-WOO KANG
All I want is for you to be happy every single day.
And Mommy...
I want her to be happy too.
You were watching all along.
I saw Dad at the hospital yesterday.
Let's skip school today and stay at home with Mommy.
Maybe you dreamt of Daddy since you're excited to go to Korea.
You couldn't have seen Daddy.
But he asked me if I was okay.
Gina.
- You have to come with me somewhere. - Right now?
Where?
I think it'd be better for you to see for yourself.
Jin-woo.
How many days are in a month?
That's how long we'll stay in Korea when we go next week.
But if Mommy passes her audition,
then we're gonna ask Daddy to come live with us.
- Would you like that? - Yeah!
But Mommy...
Isn't this the same neighborhood?
What's going on?
Gina.
Tell them I didn't do it!
Just shut up!
CALLING HUSBAND
Hi, Mr. Kim.
You said you tried pressing 0127 and it didn't work, right?
I see.
I just want to double-check something.
You said the lock was disabled but the door wouldn't open.
I forgot to tell you about the lock we installed on the inside of the door.
That's right.
I think there's someone inside.
2015 BEST SALES PERFORMANCE HEAD MANAGER KANG JAE-HOON
LEXAPRO, XANAX KANG JAE-HOON, 2 TABLETS A DAY
Yes, Mr. Kim.
What?
What are you talking about?
But how...
How could he...
Jae-hoon.
Male, forty-one. KANG Jae-hoon.
Looks like suicide caused by prescription overdose.
Body kept in good condition due to low room temperatures.
We're transferring him to the hospital now.
You're really going to Tasmania?
Yes. Would you like to come?
I don't think I'm ready to let go yet.
I thought it would be easier, since it was my choice.
But it just makes me more sad and more angry.
It left me confused every time.
I still can't believe it, to be honest.
I only came to terms with it this morning.
It was hard to take in.
Gina.
Maybe we're just meant to pass through,
as quiet and unseen as the way we first came.
But why Tasmania?
I lived life not even knowing it existed, so I thought I'd go.
My mom will come for me if I wait here a while.
Bye, Chichi.
Thank you, Mister.
I have to pee, Mommy.
Okay, let's go.
Wash your hands.
Jin-woo.
How did Dad seem at the hospital?
What did he say to you?
But you don't believe me.
No, I believe.
Tell me what Dad said.
He said he came to see you and me.
I can't really remember.
I wish you were here too, Dad.
But since you're not, I'll show you instead.
