How dare you say that?

You know this company is not

Is today your day off?

You said you were gonna pay me

My wife is sick but we can
afford the medication.

You don't understand me.

It is the company that pays you.

But you know, we are almost broke now.

Can you even imagine how much
we've lost because of you scumbags?

You've got more to say?

No.

Your employee is sick
without her medication.

But you don't even
care about that?

So what? Asshole.

Then, have you guys ever cared
about how much work

How could I throw all that away?

I can give up.

I tired.

I can take this anymore.

I can breathe.

There no hope here.
Don't you see?

No, you wrong.
There is hope here.

Korea is the hope.

I can give up.

You can go there alone.

I have to make money here.

Shon Rae-son.

I hate Korea. I hate China

I wanna take a rest.

Let go.

Let go to my hometown
and live in comfort.

What do you think I doing here,
going through all this?

I said go there alone.

There no way.

Could you please explain
that again more specifically?

We just sent your blood sample to
the national institute of health.

So, they will fax us more
accurate result by next week.

There no way.

Did you receive a blood transfusion
or visit a brothel during your leave?

Or have you ever had sex
with other members of the military?

No, sir.

Never.

Dishonourable Discharge Agreement

Your badges.

Identification tag.

After a week, you forced
to be discharged from the military.

For a week,
you stand by here.

You not allowed to go to
any external training or meetings.

You not supposed to meet
anyone without my permission.

I didn't know he got that disease.

Do you know any reason for his desertion?

No. I have no idea.

But I think he got along
with the dead officer.

By the way, do you think
we also got AIDS infected?

We carry the night guard duty together
several times.

I'm afraid there were physical contacts.

You got the medical check?

No, sir. I haven't yet...

Shit. That dirty faggot officer.

Excuse me.

Ching Tuang and Shon Rae-son
left yet?

Who?

Ching Tuang and Shon Rae-son.
I their son.

They haven't come back
home yet.

Go home.

Do you have any idea

where they went?

I said go away.

Wait a moment.

Just tell me
where they are.

They are not at the factory.
Not at home either.

What happened?

This is so annoying.

I don't know.
Just go back.

You know where they are.

Please tell me.

Fuck you.

Because of your mom and dad, do you know
how much money the factory has lost?

Don't make a fuss.
Just go back.

Where are they?

What the hell are you doing here?

Your mom is dead.

You know how much I had
to pay for the funeral?

What did you just say?

Dead?

My mom? my dad?

Your mom is dead.
didn't you hear that?

Your dad left your mom alone
and ran away.

Why the fuck are you
trying to find them now?

Are you really their son?

You came to compensate
me for the loss?

Take the cinerary urn with you.

Thank you.

These are not radioactive fishes, right?

Sure, Of course not.
We only carry Russian fishes these days.

No. You know all these oceans
are interconnected. Water circulates.

Shit. What the hell.

There's bugs flying around even in winter?

Stupid bugs.

Shon Sun?

Private Shon.

Are you Shon Sun?

Please come to
the doctor office

So,

you mean your friend diagnosed
with AIDS or HIV or whatever?

Yes.

I like to get
some medication for him.

Well, there no medication
for AIDS in this hospital.

Are you sure that
he has AIDS?

Your friend really said

he has AIDS?

Yes,

HIV or something,

the stage right before
developing into AIDS, he said.

If he wants the medication,
he has to show up himself.

It is not easy to get
a prescription for AIDS medicine.

There's no certain cure for that.

Do you understand?

In what relationship
are you with your friend?

Are you Korean?

Yes. I am Korean.

No. I asking
where you were born.

Yes.

I was born in Korea.

I see.

Then,
your friend who has AIDS

is half-blood as well?

What?

Do you know Phungthai's house?
Where is it?

What the problem with this sea?

Korean oil tanker had sunk here last time.

All the black oil came here
to this seashore.

What is this?

What's all these garbages
and stones about?

Why did you just have to leave?

How does it feel like to
see mom's ashes now?

You knew that? Her death.

You will never know

what my life has been like

No.

I have no idea.

But you know what?

I know how painful and terrible
it was for her

to die like that, being abandoned by you.

Your selfish resentment ended up
killing her.

Is it me who killed your mom?

Is it me?

My life in Korea was like trash.

Trash like you don't even belong
to a garbage can.

At the time

my life was on the edge as well,

Don't you understand?

What about me?

What about mom?

Have you ever worried about me

being in military and my life there?

Everything in my life was in chaos.

No one has never accepted me.

Your mom's life had no difference.

I could not help myself being drawn
to despair. I couldn't trust anybody.

I was left all alone.

You never understand this.

That's why your life is a failure!

I never had to be born.

Why did you adopt me
from the garbage and raise me?

It is your life that is
most important and miserable.

Why didn't you just leave me alone
with the garbage in the first place?

Stop it.

It's all my fault.

It's already the past.

We just need to start over.

I have AIDS.

What?

Do you know AIDS?

Yes, I know AIDS.

So, you have AIDS?

Yes.

I caught AIDS

in the military

and I ran away
after killing someone.

Are you out of mind?

What the hell are you talking about?

AIDS? Desertion?

You are unconscious.

Because of you, your mom died

and you dad fled.

Dirty mulatto.
Aids-infected filthy faggot.

My friend sets off on a long journey.

We haven't given her hundreds
and thousands of presents yet

Nothing will measure up
to the love that she has

She goes on a journey

Life revolves around and around.

She reincarnates into a flower.

Bury my feelings

The body that suffers so much
in this life and the futile soul

She will reincarnate into a butterfly
She will live once again

as a beautiful flower

She will reincarnate
into a being of creation.

Into the eternal pine.

Grandma.

Grandma.

Please take me with you.

I a sinner.

I have stolen expensive whisky
from the supermarket.

I have crossed the street
when the traffic was red.

I have smashed car window.

Please forgive me.

I wanna die, grandma.

I am so sorry.
I will never do it again.
