Chang-sik lives strictly by the freeloader's handbook, doing the rounds of free samples in department store food sections and sponging off of his older brother. Mi-young nurtures grandiose ...

Why is that bitch so mean
to me?

Why'd she go through
my clothes?

I won't let her
get away with this

Missing Child
Snowman-shaped birthmark on the back

No way

Then again, why not?

Yeah, why not?

This could be her

Until when
are we doing this?

You think
I'm enjoying this?

Shut up and
keep your eyes peeled



Check out her legs
They're awesome

Mine are prettier

By the way

why'd you
hit me that hard?

Where'd he get these snacks?

I bet he can make noodles
out of newspaper

His pockets are like
trash cans

Look me in the eyes
when I talk to you, punk

- Look at me
- Look! That's him, isn't it?

- Him! Him, over there!
- What?

Him!

- Hide!
- Heads down!

Bitch!

What's up with those jackasses?



How fast can you run
100 meters?

- 10 seconds
- Is he superman?

You've got some nerve,
showing up here!

I'm on the run from them

Who?

Why'd you come here?

Don't worry, I've lost them

You sure?
Did you call the cops?

What's the point?

They do nothing but
tell you to wait

Why didn't you run
to your place?

- I needed to see you
- What for?

Mi-young, I don't want
you to get me wrong

- for asking this
- Get to the point

Let me hear what it is first

You're an orphan,
aren't you?

- Out
- Huh?

Get the hell out!

If not, fine
I knew you weren't

Get out!

- When we were drinking
- You're insane!

You said your mom
might be a step mother

Whatever Get out!

Wait, look at this

This is from that old man

Oh, Mi-young!

Let me tell you
I was on fire, girl!

I wish it were like this
everyday

What's wrong?

- Hey!
- Nothing

Something's bugging you
What is it?

- It's nothing
- You!

You lost all my cyber money,
didn't you?

You're so dead!

Okay, spill the beans
What is it?

Mom, I want you to
tell me honestly

What?

Am I your real daughter?
Am I?

Dad and you are my

Wait, wait a second

I have to go back out

I think that bitch
cheated me

She didn't give me
all she owed me

She always does that!
I should kill her!

He must've gone drinking
Thank God

I can't believe
we lost him again

That short-legged ass was fast

Keep your mouths shut
about this

Look who's talking
If he finds out, we're through

I'm hungry
Order some Chinese food

- Spicy noodles for me
- I want the plain ones

And fried dumplings

They're hard to chew
Get steamed ones instead

Sweet and sour pork
for me

Hey!

Wake the hell up!

Hey!
You got a call

Hello?

Damn!

You've got videos
to return?

- No, I don't
- It's for you

Hello?

Are you nuts?

You shouldn't be here

They're out looking for us
What if they see you?

What's wrong?

Chang-sik

Let's go to a motel

Now?

Can I trust you, Chang-sik?

Trust me
Just try to relax

Leave your body to me
so I can work you freely

I'm so nervous

Never done this before
If my body

Mi-young, I'll get you
through this

I'll count to three

And you'll fall asleep

One, two

Redsun!

If not, why would you see
an orphanage?

And what about the zoo?

Those images are real?

How come
I have no recollection?

Those with childhood trauma

tend to suppress those
painful memories

In many cases, it develops
into multiple personalities

- I'm beat
- What are you doing?

- I'm going to bed
- With me here?

I said no!
Get out of here

This is my place! Hey!
Come on, get out

What are you doing?
Get out! Now!

What's she doing?

It's Showtime, bitch

Our company has won
the Presidential Award

Don't let $1,000 in cash
slip away

You're holding this event,
aren't you?

What'd you get the
Presidential Award for?

Beat it, boy

How old are you,
calling me a boy?

Go deliver Chinese food
Get out of here

You're asking for trouble

You fuckers!

I deliver Chinese food,
so what?

That doesn't mean
you can talk shit to me

Get out
Make my day, fuckers

Get your ass out
I take shit from no one

Don't play with knives

My stomach!

I don't have to buy anything?

Of course not

This is fraud, isn't it?
Don't tell me this is free

Fill out the form
It' s so free

Watch it, pal

- Name and phone number?
- And address

- Get out! Out!
- What for?

He's giving his number

Oh, that's right

- Is this it?
- Right

Let me put it in for you

Have we met before?

It won't work, mister

- What's going on?
- Fill this out

Free ginseng
and $1,000 in cash

What's the matter?

It's just don't think
I can do this alone

- May I help you?
- Gosh!

Was there an orphanage here?

Until 7 years ago

I see

Why is she crying?

A snowman- shaped
birthmark on the back

Tell him it's the same year

and place as on the flyer

Same year and place
as on the flyer, sir

Oh, will you?

Yes, sir
Have a good trip back

What'd he say?

He's coming back
on the first flight tomorrow

He sounded very nervous

I bet!
It's been 20 years

This is all thanks to you

Don't mention it

I'm just so happy that

I can help my best friend

We're the hands and gloves
that go together

Nice! It's for her own good

For mine, too!

One more beer!

So hard to spend money

God, still too long
before it gets dark

Hello?

I won free gifts?

Dude, long time no see
How are you doing these days?

Did you eat?

- Fuckers
- Get back here!

Upstairs!

Why are we chasing him?

What am I gonna do?
I'm so fucked!

Bastards!
What am I gonna do?

Hello?

What the fuck do you
want from me?

What have I done
to you fuckers?

What?

What wife?
I'm not even married!

I don't give a damn
what you do to her!

Do whatever you want with her!

Who are you guys anyway?

You're messing
with the wrong guy

To the parking lot?
Bastards

How the fuck
did I wind up with her?

I'm screwed now

Yeah

That's right
Getting used to that, aren't you?

The camera is ready to roll

I was sick to my stomach
because of you two

What have we done?

Sons of bitches!

Why don't we bury them?

What do you think they are,
a couple of pots?

Who wants to do it?

I haven't banged a girl
in 4 and half years

- You do it
- Okay, I'll do my best, boss

Wait! Wait!

Won't it be better
if I do it?

Think about it

If I'm in the video, I won't
be able to rat on you

Right?

I love that girl

What do you think this is?
A honeymoon video?

Think about it, man

Even though

You're a cold-blooded gangster
I'm sure you're warm at heart

She won't be able to do it
before the man she loves

Let me do it

It smells
What do you say?

What smell?
I smell nothing

It smells!
Let's check it out

Let's go!

Come on
I've got a dinner date

Not until we solve this case

Dinner's after
Let's go

Come any closer,
and I'll kill you!

It's better for me to do this
than these people

Over my dead body!

Step aside I'm doing it!

No, I'm doing it!

Shut the fuck up!

Or let them do it!

These kind of videos

Better with some resistance
Don't you think?

Fucker

Just do it!

Nothing we can do

It'll be over before you
even know it

Make yourself believe
what I said earlier

This is the only way

Sorry to bother you
We're from the station

Oh, you guys are drinking

Drink with us
Sit down

We're not allowed to Drink
on duty, but

It's about a car outside

You own that car,
Seoul Da 1338, right?

- Potentia?
- Right

Where were you on the 12th?

Around midnight

I'm sure we were Drinking

Were you two together?

Yes

How much does it cost
to Drink here?

Depends on what you get
Let me pour you a shot

- I didn't know you had customers
- No, they're friends

Why aren't they singing?

Sounds like they're fighting

Don't mind them
Come on, Drink

We gotta hit the road
after this

Look, detective

I was just wondering

Do I have to turn myself in
if I run someone over?

Do you know?

The insurance boys know
better than us

That's right

Help!

- Turn off the mike!
- The insurance boys

I only did what I was told to do!

He can't talk
This boy is a mute

He's a poor kid
He's from this Island

- What island?
- Detective Oh

- Where's that videotape?
- Right by the camcorder

Find it!
It's criminal evidence

Please, detective

You have to believe us
We're innocent

Save your breath, punks!

Sir, can you make it look like
I turned myself in?

Drink this

What a lousy day it's been

His son, he wants to
see you tomorrow

Who?

Your brother

Sorry I didn't ask you first

But eventually

You'll have to meet him

Hi

How are you?

- Glad to see you again
- You, too

- Where?
- Outside

Let me tell you
It wasn't an easy decision

- I had to...
- If he were alive

He would've been
so happy

I'm so sorry

He jogged every night
to stay in shape

so he'd live long enough
to meet his lost child

Now

Meet your sibling

You've been separated
for a good 20 years

Here's the child your father
looked so hard for, Hwang Mi-young

Look at your brother
Come on

Brother

Brother!

Oh, God!

Mr. Choi, we gotta talk

This is a boy?

He looks like a girl, though

Who made these holes?

See you later

- Get up
- I'm tired, leave me alone

Get up!

Boy, life wears you out

I can understand now
why you're so bitter

I never imagined it'd be
at a place like this, but

let me tell you
everything

What is it, mom?

It's kind of complicated,
but simply put

You and your sister have

different fathers

What?

Your sister's father was
a friend of your father's

I remarried your father

Soon after
your sister's father died

I'd known him, though

People spoke ill of me

They almost stoned me
for remarrying

a friend of my late
husband's

But I never loved your
sister's father

It was your father that I truly loved
and I still do

Up until now

I've had so many guys
after my beauty

But I've remained faithful

When I miss him
so much

I stare into the air, and

You know why I'm crazy on cards?

I play cards to stop myself
from missing him

Otherwise, I would've gone
insane long ago

So

My father's dead?

They say daughters carry
on their moms' fate

I hope you don't

What's going on?

Watch your back, asshole

Why do you let her
torture you like that?

We're all dying here
tonight

Help!

You two don't deserve to live!
Come here!

She's found out about
the account

Chang-sik, get your ass
over here!

Make yourself useful
and do the laundry

You shouldn't work
on Sundays

Get a cup!

I'm working my ass off
to feed you brothers

Can you put this on for me?

Just like your brother!
Don't know how to wear a tie

- When's it due?
- February

I can't believe that little girl
I knew is becoming a mom

I was taller than you
back then

I know

Closing the barn door
after the horse is stolen

Be sure you brush up on
what you learned today

OK, that's it kids!

What's your name?

Shirts...
Am I missing anything?

- My sunglasses!
- On your head, fool

Oops!
Let's go

- Where are you going?
- We're going on a trip

Oh, for your 2nd anniversary?

Don't forget you have
a bun in the oven

He looks tired

Make sure you get him
a souvenir

Did you get the camcorder?

Forget it
We're late

We need that!

Let's rent one there

- Chang-sik, we're leaving
- Okay Have fun!

Wait! Wait!

Won't it be better
if I do it?

Think about it

If I'm in the video, I won't
be able to rat on you

I love that girl

I'd rather die than see her
have sex with another man

I'm in love with her

Hello?

Jang- mi!

- That'll be $2.8
- Can I buy another snack?

Anything less than 20 cents

- It's $3 then, right?
- Thanks

Excuse me
Can I go through?

It's been a while

Buying anything?

No, selling something

Look, back then...
I was just

Dad, buy me this

He's justjoking
He likes to call me dad

What a sly player!

That's not it
Why am I your dad?

I'm not his dad!

Go explain it to her!
Why am I your dad!

You make me crazy!

I've become a giraffe
waiting for you

Been away?

I didn't order anything

Not here on the job

Be nice to me cause I've got
something nice for you

Movie tickets!

I'll take them off your late fees

What? Wow

This kind of attitude
often takes me aback

I don't want them
Take them and get out

How can you be so

Hey, Mr. Bum!
Long time, no see

I notice you haven't
changed your part yet

It's getting dark outside
and we're Ionely

Let's go hit the movies

You really wanna see
a movie with me?

I'd like to do everything

- You don't believe me?

Of course, I do!

I'll be waiting for you

You're really going
to a movie with him?

I bet he'll buy you
noodles on the date

Don't go

Please, don't go

I said, don't go!

Or I'll

put that video up
on the Internet

Who do you think you arer?
Are you threatening me now?

Do you know what a fool I became
because of you?

You made a complete fool
out of me!

And you never even call

You never even brought
around your ugly face!

Put what on the net?

I didn't mean it

Do whatever you want with it!

Why don't you sell it
to a porn site?

The instant that you do that
I'll make sure you rot in jail

You freaking psycho!

You didn't have to hit me!

I did call you!

But you never answered it

That's not my fault!

Let's eat
What would you like?

- Sushi?

Stay there
I'll come to you

to come to you

God! I told you to stay there

It doesn't matter
We're here together

Yeah, in the middle
of the damn road!

Tell me

What?

- There you go again!
- What?

I told you how I feel about you
on the phone

And you said
we would talk about it in person

You did, didn't you?

Chang-sik

What?

Hug me

Come on, this is too embarassing

There's people looking
and cars passing by

Oh, boy!

What the hell is she doing
in the middle of the road?

Mom, don't!
They look great

I bet you did the same
with dad, didn't you?

Not like that

Shit!

I told you to hug me
not grope me

I thought it'd be okay

What the hell are you
talking about?

I never told you it was
okay to grope me!

What's wrong with you?

You guys are all pigs
They can never

What a picture!
Get a room!

I'm sorry

Are you nuts?
There are people watching us!

- I wasn't going to, but...
- But what?

I got aroused

Did you have to put your
damn tongue in my mouth?

I'm sorry

We could've done it later!

Why'd you hug me?
It's your fault

You got me horny!
I can't believe this!

God, we're stuck again!

It's your fault!
Come back!

Get up now!

Fuck! I'll save up and
buy out this restaurant

Not in a million years!
You're too lazy

The early bird
catches the worm

Who knows?

I might find my parents
who are loaded

And get a load of money

Get up and bring back
the empty plates!

Okay! Okay!

Get the lion
It's head's big, you know

Once you get a hold on him
It won't fall

Make a lot of money!
