Hey, mister.
Get up if you're not playing.
The hell did you hit me for?
How dare you wake me up?
Have you no fear, you little twit?
Don't you know who I am? Well, do you or not?
How could I?
Oh. You don't! Great!
Give me a cigarette.
Lighter!
You're dead if you sit here.
What?
Are you deaf?
You want me to make this place like before?
Okay, okay
I will put these coins over there.
Hope Employment Agency
Please meet me, sir...
That *** cop hung up on me! ***!
Open the window when I smoke, you idiot!
They are all *** idiots.
Huh? Stop the car.
Bite! Bite! Bite. ***!
Good afternoon, sir!
When did you get out?
In... in the morning, sir.
Then why are you showing up now?
What's that?
This? A toaster, sir
So you go to a Game Room after such a fuss?
You don't know the situation, idiot.
Kangjae! Kangjae! You *** idiot!
You should think.
Think, I said!
Why the *** is it closed so early?
Shitheads! And how they work!
Oh my god!
You ***?
Oh, no.
Don't give me ***.
You think this is a hotel? In my store of all places...
Now I manage this shop.
What? You manage what?
Who authorized it?
Yongsik did.
He ordered me to manage this place.
And never to let you, Mr. Idiot, come near here.
What did you just call me? Mr. Idiot?
What a *** ***!
Have you no respect for your senior?
Leave it there. You ***!
When you were suckling on your mama
I made the foundations of this gang with a knife in my bloody mouth.
Don't you have any respect? You ***!
*** you!
Don't shout at me.
Go complain to Yongsik.
Stop it!
All right. You ***!
I'm gonna ask Yongsik right away.
If he says otherwise, it'll be your last day.
You ***' ***!
Is it okay to treat him like that?
He's not worth my respect.
You ***. Take this!
Hey, Kyungsu! The cops are here!
Hide those things. Quick!
*** you! *** you!
Thought you could fool me again?
What? *** me?
Is that how you treat me when I just got out of prison?
Is that how you treat me when I just got out of prison?
You are a real son of a ***, you know that?
Hey. Mongrel!
Shame on you!
10 days' imprisonment for selling *** tapes to teenagers!
You'd already be dead cold without me.
See whose clothes you're wearing.
So what?
***. These really stink like hell!
Shut up and bring me some beer.
There's no beer left.
Then go and buy some.
No way! It's damn cold so you go!
Besides, looks like you've already drunk.
What? I'm gonna break your neck.
Okay, okay. I do have some.
Where?
Just wait.
That's better.
Here you go! Take this!
By the way, I met Yongsik today.
He was mad as hell.
Is he PMS-ing or what?
Tell me about it! It's red alert.
While you were in prison
caught for illegally immigrating Chinese,
the whole city was a mess!
Even our agency was shut down.
Besides, the D's kids are trying to eat up our club now.
So Yongsik's in the pits. I bet.
And they call this a gang.
Wouldn't take it even if they call me boss!
When you met Yongsik, didn't he tell you anything?
Tell me what?
He wants you to be a bouncer at the club.
You know what a bouncer is, right?
Humiliating, huh?
Tell him you want to be a waiter.
Unless you want to get frostbitten.
Put it away. You ***!
That ***!
Nothing's left.
What a rat!
The latest version!
That dirty ***! Never washes the dishes!
This *** tries real hard to bait chicks.
Do you think with your ***, ***?
You should've worked harder after sales were cut in half.
How dare you take two days off work...
just to hang around D's club?
Honey...
You guys heard her ***, right?
This is why we're in the *** right now.
There are reasons why D's kids eat in our area.
You idiots!
Now look!
Look, I said!
Look at it, shitheads!
Can any of you put these pieces back together?
No one can! When it's broken, it's too late.
You understand?
While I've gone to ***, think about it hard!
And you, ***!
Today's the last day of your life.
Where is Yongsik?
I've got something to tell you, sir.
What is it?
I'd do better as a waiter than a bouncer.
Kangjae, you ***! That's exactly you.
You know nothing but to talk.
When I tell you something, do as you're told.
What an idiot...
What a parasite.
Who put that idiot in?
They should get rid of him.
Because of that ***...
Just eat your noodles.
If Cha Bum-gun was young again, he would never play like that!
You're a real idiot! Cha is a coach, not a player.
You fool! You don't know a thing.
When Cha was young, he scored three goals in the last 5 minutes.
Oh, yeah? Then do you know Bae ***-sung in short tracks?
Then, do you know Pro wrestler Kim-il?
How about Yeo Gun-bu?
Who?
The legendary Yeo!
You'll never know.
Pro wrestling is only for show!
As for wrestling, Shim Kwon-ho is the best!
Here's the uniform!
Wow. Yours is *** big!
Are you talking about wrestling?
Give me a parterre position.
Parterre? Okay. Parterre!
Don't hold it. You idiot.
Okay.
Take this!
***!
Hey, it's rotting?
***! No more!
Do it again!
Parterre!
You idiot, are you ready?
A whistle! You ***.
How's this?
Oh. You're tough.
You can't beat me! No!
You ***, freeze there! You don't bow to me?
Who's in the office?
Go check yourself.
Hey, if you have any problem, ask me for help.
Hey, Kangjae! We've got a real problem.
Can you help us?
This is too much.
The interest has doubled the original sum.
I can't give you any more.
So you're saying you won't pay us back?
Auntie, this is Kangjae.
Look at me. You should listen to me.
Don't make excuses.
Do whatever you want!
You shouldn't do this to me.
Remember what I've done for you. When you were hungry
I fed you noodles and bought you drinks.
I don't remember anything.
Stop babbling and get to the point.
Are you going to give it or not?
You ungrateful ***!
Is she a Yakuza or something?
Are you paying back with violence?
Give me few more days. I beg you!
What the ***!
What?
Hey, sit down!
Watch your mouth in front of your auntie.
We should respect the elders.
Auntie, please come over there.
Please give me a break, will you?
So you're saying you want a couple more days, right?
Yes. Yes.
But how can we?
We'll be going to the States tomorrow for good.
You *** ***.
How can you call me like that?
Don't you have parents to teach you manners?
No. I don't! I'm an orphan!
So what you gonna do about it, you ***?
Hey! Hey! Get out and wait.
Get out of my way.
Pour it around.
I like it!
Hey, auntie.
Your last chance.
You want me to drop this?
Just do it, huh?
Bye! Thanks for the noodles.
How humiliating this is!
Be careful not to become like him.
What are you talking about?
You seem to have a fun life.
You can't even handle that old ***.
Are you going out with her?
Why are you so soft on her?
If you have no guts, just shut your *** mouth.
What did you say, you ***?
***! How can I call this *** my senior?
Go away. Just go.
Let's go.
What did he say?
I don't know.
He can do nothing but talk.
Stop it!
Little shitheads. How dare...
Stand upright! Upright!
Upright! Upright!
I did nothing, sir!
Don't make excuses.
Come closer. Closer!
Stand up!
Sir!
Stand up, idiot! Up, up!
I'm sorry, sir!
Get out of my sight.
Right now!
Why are you still here?
Get lost! I don't want to see you.
You're not even a human.
Even if I was born four-legged, I wouldn't live like you.
You should mind your own business.
Why did you go with the kids and *** up?
But the auntie treated us...
I told you not to talk about the past, didn't I?
But...
You're ***! I'll finish you today.
Just take it with one hand.
That's all right, sir.
Hey, call me by my name when we're alone.
I'm your friend.
Bottoms up! In one go!
Have some more.
Kangjae, isn't it a *** world?
I know how you feel.
We started out together.
And I became the boss and you're still a minion.
You know why?
That's because you're not made for this.
You have the tiniest guts and you're so weak at heart.
And you're not responsible enough to carry out your duties.
Fishing with your brother... You talked big about buying a boat.
You talked big about going back with a boat?
You that you talked big about going back with a boat?
Please take my glass, sir.
You ***...
Drink it.
What the hell are those *** doing here?
Think this is their home or something?
Call the kids... No. I'll take care of it myself.
Hey, you son of a ***.
How dare you come into my area?
So what? You ***...
What? You're dead!
So the *** wants to die!
Die you *** ***! Die!
Die! Die!
Yo... Yongsik.
Hey, get up! Hey, you!
Get up, you ***!
Yongsik!
Have you heard the news?
That *** rose to the surface.
We should've hung something heavier on him.
What should we do now?
There's got to be a way out, surely.
If we work together, there's nothing we can't do.
Kangjae...
Would you save me, I mean, us?
I'm not trying to put the blame on you.
But if I go in now, it'll be the end of everything.
You know what I mean?
I'm begging you now on my knees.
If only you would do this for me, then...
You said you want to go home with a fishing boat.
I'll buy it for you.
This is the first and last favor I ask of you as a friend, Kangjae!
I need some time to think about it.
Actually, you're partly responsible too.
Since you're cleaner than me...
If you turn yourself in, it won't be longer than 10 years.
But for me, it'll be at least 20 years
and then my life's over.
I can't die alone. Got it?
My hometown must be bustling with squid and shrimp fishing now.
Driving me crazy...
Why? You wanna go back?
Every time you get drunk...
Go back if you have the nerve.
I'll definitely go.
With a little fishing boat...
Yeah... a hundred years from now.
What?
You think I can't do it?
Buying a boat is a piece of cake for me.
This *** thinks I can't afford it.
Hey, give it to me! Give it to me!
I'm gonna show you that I can!
Give you what?
Your cell phone, you idiot!
Then what?
Yongsik?
It's me. Kangjae.
Yeah. It's Kangjae who you beat up real bad yesterday.
Yeah. I'm drunk.
How can I not drink after getting beaten up like that?
I'll get to the point.
Were you serious about what you said the other day?
Yeah. I will go in. Yeah!
Instead of you...
Instead of you...
Only on one condition.
Give me the money first.
Yeah, send it to my bank account.
If not, you will be *** up.
You think I'm nothing.
Hey. Yongsik! Keep your promise.
Give me the money first.
Will you?
10 years for a boat isn't that bad. ***!
Are you Mr. Lee Kangjae?
Well. I was just about to...
Ms. Kang Failan is your wife, right?
I'm sorry, but she died yesterday.
It's been over a year since they moved to Canada.
Haven't you contacted them before coming here?
They're my only relatives.
Do you have their phone number?
No. I am sorry about that.
Go back to China.
It's hard to live here without any connections.
There's no one there either.
Hope...?
Come on in! Relax!
That's too bad.
How can I help you?
I'd like to earn some money.
But how?
I studied Korean in China.
I'm confident that I can do anything.
But there is a problem.
You can't stay here longer than allowed.
If you don't get a visa, you will be arrested.
There is a way.
Could you untie your hair, please?
It's okay.
What style!
Look at this red scarf. How embarrassing!
Shut your mouth and give me the money.
Okay. Okay!
Here it is... deducting my fee.
Are you ripping me off?
Am I crazy to do this for nothing?
Give me your documents.
Is this everything we need?
Sure. Sayonara!
Your wife is inside. Wanna see her?
No!
Come on. Just have a look at her.
That's your wife, there.
Where?
Over there. Wanna do her?
That little chick?
Yeah.
***.
Why. Not your taste?
You do her yourself.
Where are you going?
To the turf.
Going there again?
What is it?
Give it to the little chick.
Caring for your wife already?
You said red looks embarrassing. Didn't you?
Don't worry.
I'm not gonna hurt you.
Thank you!
We have his picture here. Would you like to have a look?
Maybe it's all for the better.
Why don't you go cool off your head?
Let's finish our deal when you're back.
You haven't changed your mind, have you?
Give it to Kyungsu.
He's at the station.
He first took the girl there.
Have some fun with this.
No. I have money.
Take it with you.
No thanks.
Just take it.
Yongsik.
What?
You'll keep the promise?
Of course I will.
Hey, you don't bow to your senior?
You don't bow to me. You ***.
Kang Failan. 781011-2454311.
Kang Fai. Right? Fai?
Kang Failan. 781011-2454...
2454... 2454... 2454.
Hey, look at the snow there.
You really hate using your brain.
Her hometown?
How can you smile when your wife's dead?
Should I cry then?
Why did that *** die to hassle me like this?
And when was it that you were overjoyed at getting money for it.
You have to memorize this.
What if the cops ask you about her?
What kind of a husband doesn't know about his wife. Huh?
How many guys memorize their wife's social security number?
I just think that's over the line.
Did you see her at the agency?
You didn't, right?
Here is her picture.
I don't want to see it.
You should know her face not to be suspicious.
Isn't she pretty? Even better in person.
What?
Does she get to you?
Moron...
Hey!
She's pretty.
Hey, hurry up! Hurry!
Come on in.
It stinks... Come on in.
Just relax. It's all right.
Sit down.
What the hell is this? Hey. Isn't she great?
Shut up and give me a minute.
She's perfect.
Have a seat.
Not bad. Quite good.
Yeah? You should pay a lot.
***!
Oh. That ***! Whenever he gets drunk...
Come here, you ***.
What is it?
Leave me alone, you ***!
What the *** is that?
Just sit down.
You ***. You...
Let me go. ***!
Who's the guy?
I don't know.
Whenever he gets drunk, he's crazy like that.
It runs in his family to be like that.
What's taking her so long in the bathroom?
What if she took off?
Here she comes.
Say hello to your boss.
Hey, what the *** is that?
Is this how you do your business?
No, it's not like that.
I almost got *** up.
Do you think this is a blood donation center?
No, please have a seat.
- Don't give me ***! - Hey! Hey, please!
*** ***!
What do you want me to do now?
She's sick!
She coughed up blood.
I don't know... looks like some contagious disease.
***. I'm really out of luck.
It wouldn't have mattered if she coughed it up after the deal.
But she did it right in front of him.
How could I cheat on him right then?
What? Which agency?
Okay, give them a call first. All right?
You don't know how hard laundry is.
How such a fragile girl can do the work?
I guarantee it.
You can't find anyone like this girl.
You're really lucky, lady.
In the past I washed many clothes. I am good at riding bicycle.
What did she say?
See? She says she was a pro laundress in China.
She can ride a bicycle too.
But we can't even communicate.
You don't need to talk much.
After I leave home, I will work very hard.
She'll do whatever you order. You are so lucky!
Work hard. Don't slack off.
Lady, don't give her a break.
Don't say that.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
It's cold. Come on in.
Thank you for your present.
What did she say?
Thank you for the scarf.
Hey, tell her that it's a wedding present from her husband.
The scarf was given to you by your husband. You should thank him.
You speak Chinese well.
When I was young, I had a business there.
She has a disease or something, right?
Nonsense!
It's small but good for one person.
And tell me if you need anything.
What can I tell her? This is frustrating.
Good morning.
Hi.
Uh. Hi!
Oh my god! You're a walking washing machine.
How could you wash all these with such a thin body?
Laundry...!
Good. Welcome!
"Welcome"
Thank you!
"Thank you!"
Did you have dinner?
I can't help it!
Did you have dinner?
How can I have her work?
I can't do this any more. I quit.
Thank you!
Laundry...!
Why'd she come here?
Her dying mom gave her a note to find her aunt here.
But her aunt has gone to Canada.
She has no one there.
What could she do?
*** up so she decided to earn money here.
Her writing is a total mess unlike her pretty face.
To Lee Kangjae?
It looks like she really took you for her husband.
Dear Mr. Kangjae...
Thank you for marrying me.
Thank you.
Because you married me, I am able to work here.
Everyone's kind to me.
I want to keep working here.
Everybody's kind, but you're the kindest of all.
Because you married me.
I sincerely thank you.
Where should we go first?
To the job agency.
We need some information about her.
Pull over, please.
Why?
Even though it's all fake, I can't go there like this.
What?
Why? Am I wrong?
Oh my god!
Thanks to you two, now I can rest assured.
Let's have a drink.
Because of that ***, I'm in this trouble now.
I should've helped her then.
Have some more.
No, thanks.
Well. The *** came to me a month before she died.
Do you know what she said?
She said that she was sick.
She looked all right to me.
As you know, I'm no doctor.
And besides, she owed me lots of money.
How could she be sick without my permission?
It's cold.
Isn't he a *** ***?
If it was his own daughter, could he still talk that way?
There are so many *** in the world.
Hey, he looks exactly like you. You know that?
You're like brothers.
***. Stop it!
Born in 1978... Let's see.
She's only 23, 24 years old.
What a pity at such a young age!
Thank you for marrying me.
You're the kindest of all.
Good night.
You're really making this hard for me.
It's warm in here.
The cell is so damn cold.
Husband: Lee Kangjae.
Occupation: A real hoodlum.
A kind idiot who goes to prison for his friend.
Wife is a dead *** who died so pitifully...
You are pathetic and I am too!
What a perfect match we are...
Why are you hassling her?
I'm just checking if she's legally married or not. That's all.
Your husband's name?
Lee Kangjae... Lee Kangjae.
What's his occupation?
He's in Inchon.
He's a sailor.
So he's busy.
Even if he's that busy,
what kind of a husband never visits his wife?
They're all *** who make life hard for their wives.
She is a hard-working girl.
Just leave her alone.
Go on. Now!
Husband: Lee Kangjae
Wife: Kang Failan
The mountain is beautiful.
The sea is beautiful, too.
I want to see.
Dear Mr. Kangjae...
Failan!
It's me. Don't you remember me?
Hello.
Now you can speak Korean well.
Failan, aren't you sick anymore?
You've got a bit thin.
She's really making you work hard, huh?
She's kind. Everyone's kind.
I thank Mr. Kangjae.
Why should you thank Kangjae? For marrying you?
Well he thanks you too.
He wants to see you.
He wants to see me?
Yeah. He *** misses you a lot.
Fu...?
*** means... It means...
Anyway, he *** misses you.
Oh, ***! That ***...
Hey, I'll come back later.
Let's do some art together at the beach!
One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...
Why do we get off here?
Let's get some air here.
***! *** crazy... It's freezing cold. ***!
Now what?
Hey! Isn't it nice? Wow!
Don't go in there! It's dangerous!
The ice will break.
Come on, you chicken!
What did I tell you? Hey, man! Hey!
That's not how you skate.
You don't know a thing.
Watch me now!
Ready! Go!
Oh. Home, sweet home!
Hurry up! Will you?
There won't be any problem, right?
When your wife's dead.
why would they look you up let alone consoling you?
Are you a criminal?
You always feel uncomfortable with cops, right?
Hey... You go in alone.
Am I Failan's husband? Why should I?
Do I have to cry?
That's a bit exaggerating but you should look sad.
Hurry up!
All right! Wait!
I'm freezing!
Let's go in!
Who's the husband?
I am.
Do you have your ID?
I forgot to bring it in such a hurry.
But I brought this instead.
Her social security number is...
781011-2454311
You even memorize your wife's number?
Husband: Lee Kangjae
Wife: Kang Failan
She died the day before yesterday, right?
Yes...
Since we were apart for a long time
I didn't know she was ill, so...
If she had told me, I could...
That'll be all.
That's all? Can we go now?
What do you mean?
Let's go.
What do you mean by that?
Hey, let's go.
I meant that the process is over so you can go now.
Okay. I see.
But wait!
Why is it this simple when a person has just died?
Isn't it strange?
What do you think you're doing?
I'm not doing anything, but...
What the hell is he doing? Hey!
We're sorry.
What did you say? Is she your wife or something?
It's over. Just get out of here!
I don't want to stay here either.
He's just very upset. Sorry, sir.
What, am I a criminal or something?
Hey, who the hell do you think you are, huh?
Why are you so pissed off? Is she really your wife?
Legally, yes.
Jesus, you're really losing your mind.
Anyway, I don't know what the hell's got into Yongsik.
He asked me to say hello to you.
Anything else?
Just give him a call.
Take this!
You should move this.
Don't touch.
How may I help you?
Sir!
What is it?
I can tell who's the loser.
Right.
Do it quickly.
I'm sick.
What?
I'm very sick.
What? You're sick?
I will work very hard.
I can recover. I'll try hard.
You don't look sick to me!
If I don't get your money in time, my toes are sick too.
I can't wait even a month.
Checkmate.
You can put it here.
Leave it there.
Great.
You're always smiling.
Do you know how scared I am right now?
I might die.
To Inchon
Funeral
It's so funny!
I'll take this.
Only that?
Yes.
Get it back quickly.
You're going to high school next year, right?
Yes.
Grow up, kid! Want to see something really cool?
It's cheaper there.
Then go rent it there!
Bye.
Well, it's spooky to see a dead body. Isn't it?
Do you know who I am? I'm Kang Failan.
Do you know who I am? I'm Kang Failan.
Stay away!
Search high and low!
Hey officer, give me a break.
You hopeless bum. Let's go!
Get in.
Wait. Wait.
Get in. ***.
Is she really dead?
It's okay now.
Hey! If you overdo it...
What's the matter?
***!
You *** ***.
Who? Me?
Of course it's you, you *** ***.
Who else is here besides you?
What about me?
You're such ***.
Why are you eating that?
Are you hungry? Or is it for your health?
***! What's the matter with you?
Eat all you want. You ***.
Even your kind need to stuff their stomachs to live.
But I hate that!
Hey. What do you live for?
What ***!
Yours is more *** up than mine.
Shut up!
I can see your whole life.
You're exactly Kangjae Jr.
That's enough!
I hate to tell you this...
But if my life were like yours, I'd rather die.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm always *** up.
I'm the most *** up person in the world.
But did you see her?
That *** lying dead in the hospital said
I'm the kindest person in the world.
***! So what?
What shall I do now that she's dead?
Do I have to live with the dead body, huh?
Okay. I got it. Stand up please.
Do I have to live with the dead body?
Lee Kangjae! Okay, okay. Sit down. ***!
Watch your mouth, you ***! Are you my father?
You little piece of ***.
Shut up and just drink. Mister!
Yeah. Okay, you ***!
You are an actor!
Every girl should take you as her real husband!
It's all over now. Let's go.
Who do I collect her debt from?
Are you crazy?
What's wrong? Hey!
What are you going to do with the remains?
I don't know.
Let's scatter them in the sea here.
I think that would be best.
Hello! Ah. Yes, sir!
Wait a second.
Yes. Right.
Everything's done.
I'll go back soon.
See you then.
What did he say?
Nothing much.
Who's there?
Are you the husband?
How could you show up now?
How could you!
You don't know how much Failan had waited for you.
How could you... how could you...?
She waited so long.
She worked so hard waiting for you.
Poor girl, I feel so sorry for her.
Hey! Wait!
Failan told me to give you this when you come here.
I almost forgot...
She must've had lots to tell you.
Aren't you going to read it?
Dear Mr. Kangjae...
I didn't mail this
because I wasn't sure if you would receive it.
If you see this, then you've come to see me.
Thank you.
But I am dying.
Thank you for your kindness even for a short while.
I know a lot about you.
At first I looked at your photo just not to forget you, but I came to like you.
And after that, it became even harder for me.
Being alone made it so difficult to bear.
I'm sorry.
You're always smiling in the picture.
Everyone here is kind but you are the kindest of all...
Because you've married me.
I have a favor to ask you.
Will you come to see me when I am dead?
Would it be all right to die as your wife?
Sorry for asking this.
But it is the only favor I have to ask of you.
I am sorry I have nothing to give you.
I love you more than anyone else in the world.
Mr. Kangjae, goodbye.
The police are investigating gangsters over the dead body
found at the harbor on the 18th.
Inchon Bus Terminal
- It's cold! - Now, you're back!
What, gambling? Look at the bet!
I'm happy to see you!
You idiots! Don't eat Chinese food in the office!
Have a seat.
The investigation is narrowing down.
Let's finish our deal now.
I kept my promise.
Now it's your turn.
Sorry.
Don't be. It's me who should be sorry.
I'm not going in.
I'm going back home.
Thank you for everything.
Are you really going back?
I don't know whether it's better for you or not.
Hey, how about a last wrestle?
You never beat me!
Why are you standing there like that?
Did you say that I never beat you?
Come on. For the last time, huh?
Wear it! You'll get a bruise.
Whatever!
Let's do it!
Are you ready? Go!
Idiot. I was joking.
Don't leave before I get back.
Where are you going?
Just wait! Okay?
Failan at the spring beach.
Hello? Yeah? Yes, sir.
*** Yongsik, always sending me on errands when I'm busy!
Wonderful sea. What art!
Say something to your husband.
Mr. Kangjae, thank you.
No, say something else.
Say you love him.
Okay. How about some singing?
I can't sing.
Just try.
Hey, once again.
No!
Just once.
Hey, come here. Will you?
I'm gonna show it to your husband.
Ready. Go!
Hey Failan! You sing great!
Your husband will love it.
