Our Town (2007) - full transcript
Two killers are living in our town An ordinary small town is terrorized when local women are found brutally murdered and 'crucified' in public places. Gyeong-joo, a struggling novelist, impulsively kills his landlady during a fierce argument over rent. With the recent murders, he decides to stage the killing so that it looks like the act of the serial killer. Mimicking the details of previous killings, Gyeong-joo (Oh Man-seok) hangs the dead body in the village park. The police and media believe the case is the work of the same serial killer, but Hyoi (Ryu Deok-hwan), who runs a small stationery shop in the neighborhood, knows something really interesting has happened. He knows that it is a copycat crime because he is the real killer. While Gyeong-joo's childhood buddy and police officer Jae-shin (Lee Sun-kyun) begins to suspect that there may be a second killer, anxious Gyeong-joo and Hyoi, begin their own secret investigations to track down each other.

a suspect of women serial killer
They could have done
a better job.
Mister!
What is it, Hyoi?
Doesn't this look like me?
It does look
very much like you.
Give me your phone.
I'll call the police.
You are a funny guy,
you know that?
No one gets it.
Even if I spell it out to them.

# I may choke up...

# when love passes...
Make sure
you don't make a sound.
Don't come out, okay?
Go to sleep!
Who is he?
Don't mind him.
He's my nephew.
The lady you asked about.
I looked into her file.
It turns out she was
a private moneylender.
The investigation initially focused on
connections to grudges related to money,
and then there were rumors about
her being promiscuous
so the focus was shifted to
connections to a love affair...
But that didn't result in any progress,
and the case was closed.
I mean, the relationships a tough
moneylender has are pretty obvious.
What about her family?
There was a young son.
He was 11 at the time.
What happened to him?
He was probably taken care of
by a legal guardian
and should have
become independent by now.
I made a list of the debtors.
You can look at it later.
The lady owned
other businesses too.
She'd taken them from those
who couldn't pay her back.
She even had quite
a few buildings.
There's a printing house,
a furniture factory
and a barbeque restaurant...
A furniture factory?
Yes. It's called
Gyeong-jin Furniture.
Gyeong-jin Furniture?
Gyeong-jin Furniture?
What's the address?
It's in Sacho-2-dong
- Help yourself.
- Thank you!
You are so handsome!
He's really smart and
really good at fighting, too.
He looks smart, but I don't think
he looks like he would fight.
You wouldn't know.
You're a woman.
I don't fight.
Of course you don't.
You should be good friends
with Gyeong-joo.
Yes, ma'am!
And be strong.
Yes. It's called
Gyeong-jin Furniture.
Shit!
That bitch, telling me to turn over
the factory for ten grand?
Is that you?
Shit! What a cruel bitch.
- Who the hell is this?
- Go inside and get some rest.
- I asked who this is.
- Just go inside and get some rest!
I'm the head of the household,
answer me.
He's my friend!
The one
that has no parents, right?
You little piece of shit!
I told you not to be
friends with kids like that.
No wonder the house
prices keep falling.
It's because of
that orphanage.
What an asshole
Look at his fucking manners!
You brat!
- That son of a bitch!
- Just go inside!
Jae-shin!
I'm sorry.
Don't worry about it...
See you tomorrow.
Fuck!
Sir, let's go.
Bitch!
Just take everything!
I'll burn everything
and kill myself.
What is this?
Why are the lights on?
Who the fuck is that?
What are you doing here?
You little piece of shit!
I'll kill you!
They say the husband
got drunk and set fire.
But they both burned to death.
Only the child survived...
I heard that the factory and the house
were all taken by a moneylender.
Oh no...
The wife tried to
save the factory.
Poor little thing!
Sir!
What's wrong with you?
You are so lucky!
Why does she make you
drink ginseng tea?
You look
pretty healthy to me.
I wouldn't know,
but I heard newlyweds need
a lot of energy.
It's not funny.
Stop it.
You'll never know
until you get married.
Turn the light off.
Are you trying
to blow our cover?
But I'm bored.
What am I to do all night?
Do you believe that the criminal
always comes back to the scene?
This is what conventional-styled
investigation is.
Serial killer is different to
normal criminal.
They tend to draw
the moment's fantasy
again on the actual place.
It's to feel it again.
They get a lot of pleasure from it.
This is very different
from normal criminal
coming back to the place
- because they're worried.
- That's what the chief said.
- Did you hear it?
- We were there together.
Turn the light off.
Those bastards know
that we're detectives.
Fine, so turn the light off.
I'm going to the toilet
so turn the light off!
Let me just get some sleep.
What the hell?
What?
They say the husband got drunk
and lit the place on fire!
But both parents burned to death and
only the child survived...
I heard that the factory and the house
were all taken by a moneylender.
Bring my mother back!
Bring her back!
If you hadn't asked for your money
my mother would still be alive!
Bring my mother back!
Bring her back!
Are you Kim Gyeong-joo?
I'm detective Lee.
I know you must
be distressed...
Hey, detective Song.
I came to give you this.
This was found inside
the boiler room.
Doesn't it belong
to your father?
Hey.
Don't you have
something to tell me?
Don't you?
Hey!
Do you remember
this place?
We used to sneak
out here to smoke.
You even gave me a Zippo lighter
for my birthday, right?
Don't you have
something to tell me?
I...
I have a confession to make.
Jae-shin,
Don't.
I have
a confession to make!
You fucking asshole!
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why the fuck
are you laughing?
You fucking asshole!
Come here, come here!
You fucking asshole!
Lieutenant!
What happened?
I came to work
my shift...
Did you hear about
the town meeting?
Yes.
All the young people
have to attend.
Yes, of course!
You must come!
You killed her, right? B612
It's the message
I got previously.
It must be someone
who knows me.
The first victim was a child
who was easy to control.
A student at
the local elementary school
She probably reminded him
of young Kim So-yeon.
She was wearing a tutu...
This time he went
for a older woman
who would be stronger than
a young woman.
She had a spot
above her lips...
Maybe he saw So-yeon's
future in this woman.
But he didn't kill
Kim So-yeon right away,
and had one last rehearsal.
He found a girl of
similar figure and age
and even similar piercings
and style.
Who is it?
In the end...
his final target was Kim So-yeon.
The other murders were
just practice material.
Jae-shin!
I'm going
to surrender myself.
Can you take me in?
I can't look after you
if you're in prison.
I'm sure
it was the same guy.
No, it has to be
the same killer!
Don't say anything until
I obtain information about the suspect.
Don't do anything.
Don't ruin the case.
We looked after him
for over seven years.
We did feel
a little sorry for him
but we don't have
any children of our own.
So we tried our best
to treat him as our own,
but he wouldn't
open up to us.
He must have gone
through quite a shock.
I think he made us
feel Ionelier than ever.
He never said much,
and avoided us.
Do you know
where he moved to?
Is it Sacho-dong?
As soon as he turned 18,
he asked for
his mother's money.
And then he just left.
We've already sent out
written messages to
all families several times.
It instructs everyone to
go home before 7:00 p.m.,
to stay close to parents and
to travel in groups
of three or more.
Can I ask
the ladies not to sing
when they're walking
alone at night?
I think that's scarier
than anything.
Rumor has it that
the killer is moving
in the shape of a star
which means that the next location
will be the road across from the park.
Shouldn't there be
some sort of warning?
Where did you hear
that crap?
My son read it
on the internet...
Please don't
spread groundless rumors.
Anyway,
we can't rely on the police.
You saw
what happened to them.
Families with male adults
will be included in one of
the groups, no excuses.
Some people have to
work at night.
Then get up an hour
earlier and take part.
You should realize that
it could happen to you.
Be more cooperative.
He's right.
The apartments will
soon be completed,
and if this isn't stopped,
the prices will fall a great deal.
It's already quite serious.
This is a table for
patrol groups.
Everybody should take part.
There will be a fine
for those who don't!
Please hand this over.
I don't think
the killer will be able
- to run wild in the apartment complex.
- Stop talking about
the damn apartments!
I didn't even get my share!
That's why we should
protect ourselves.
Who else will help us?
- That's it for today.
- This is such a shitty town.
Take one.
Make sure you don't lose it.
Good work.
I don't feel like doing anything.
Why don't we hit the karaoke?
# Even if you know me
# I can't remember you.
# It gives me
a lump in the throat

Little Prince stationary shop
You killed her, right? B612
Little Prince
Sir! Here are
Kim So-yeon's school records.
Leave out those from
high school or university.
Is there anyone from
her elementary school?
Elementary school?
There's one called Chung Myeong-bo.
He runs a veterinary hospital
I told you before!
Would you like me
to give him a visit?
It's okay.
You've done enough.
You can go now.
Yes, sir!

Little Prince!
Why are you giving me
a Valentine's day present?
I just wanted you
to have this.
Why didn't you
answer your phone?
I called you all day!
Do I have to answer
all your calls
just because you
bought me the phone?
That's not what I meant.
I just called you
because of the present.
Can I have
a cup of coffee?
It's so cold!
Hey! Come in!
- Join us! It's cold, isn't it?
- What's wrong with you!
Hey,
why can't you be nice?
Give him your coat
or something!
Stop it!
Hold on!
Join us! Come on!
Do they still have class
reunions these days?
I don't know.
I haven't attended
one in a long time.
Did you go out
with So-yeon?
So-yeon! Kim So-yeon?
We didn't go out.
I just slept
with her a few times.
But she made such
loud noises.
I wonder
if she's still like that.
I guess you haven't
heard the news.
What news?
You really don't know?
Do you still
talk to her?
She lives with me now.
Oh, really?
Congratulations!
You have good taste in women!
She doesn't
make noises anymore.
How much is it?
Don't worry about it.
I was going to
leave quietly...
Bring your dog over
for vaccination.
And... I wasn't
serious with So-yeon
Sorry about what I said
I didn't know!
You make a loud noise.
Teacher!
Take your friend. B612
Teacher!
Why did you take so long?
I've waited for so long!
Where is Jae-shin?
You freak!
Hey!
What's the rush?
Don't come any closer
I don't know what I might do.
Do you know
why I came back to this town?
Don't you know?
It was all for you.
I killed them for you.
How come you
don't recognize me?
Where is Jae-shin?!
Jae-shin! Jae-shin!
Wait a minute.
Fuck!
Jae-shin!
Fuck!!
Hang in there!
Hang in there!
Jae-shin!
I'm so scared!
Teacher!
I'm not a teacher.
I'm just a substitute.
So you wet your pants,
no big deal!
I'll clean you up
before anybody sees you.
Let's go.
Gyeong-joo!
It's starting!
I'm coming!
Straighten your clothes.
Let's go.
Sometimes I'm grateful
and sometimes I hate you.
I kept killing people.
But strangely,
I didn't feel sorry for them.
Am I a monster, teacher?
How did you feel, teacher?
Tell me!
I know you killed
another one recently!
How did it feel
to kill again?
It was fun, wasn't it?
I bet you wanted to
kill your friend, too!
Tell me!
Did you want to kill him?
Aren't you grateful that
I killed him for you?
But you don't
have to thank me.
You killed my mum for me,
long time ago.
Come on,
shoot me now!
That's it! Shoot!
Shoot! Shoot me now!
Shoot!
Why aren't you shooting?
Come on! Come on!
Shoot! Shoot!
Shoot me now!
You fucking freak! Hey!
Is this fun for you?
Pull them down!
Hurry up!
Take them off!
Take them off now!
Hurry!
Take them off!
Hey!
What the fuck!
Get out of here! Go away!
Gyeong-joo,
what are you doing?
Let's go to my place and
get something to eat!
- I'm hungry! What do you want?
- Tteokbeokki!

kill your friend, too!
Tell me!
Did you want to kill him?
Aren't you grateful that
I killed him for you?
But you don't
have to thank me.
You killed my mum for me,
long time ago.
Come on,
shoot me now!
That's it! Shoot!
Shoot! Shoot me now!
Shoot!
Why aren't you shooting?
Come on! Come on!
Shoot! Shoot!
Shoot me now!
You fucking freak! Hey!
Is this fun for you?
Pull them down!
Hurry up!
Take them off!
Take them off now!
Hurry!
Take them off!
Hey!
What the fuck!
Get out of here! Go away!
Gyeong-joo,
what are you doing?
Let's go to my place and
get something to eat!
- I'm hungry! What do you want?
- Tteokbeokki!
