Oasis (2002) - full transcript

Jong-du, a young man just out of prison for manslaughter, is a social misfit: fidgety, snuffling, laughing inappropriately, without a super ego. When released, he calls on the family of the victim; they send him away, but not before he has seen Gong-ju, a young woman disabled severely by cerebral palsy. Both are abused by their families, and both are used by them as well. Although their relationship begins with Jong-du's criminal behavior, a friendship develops. They talk of favorite things; he washes her hair; they go out; in late night phone calls, he helps her past her fears of the dark. Is there a place in the world for these two inarticulate people?

Sir, can I borrow a cigarette?

Sir, a light, too?

The bus for Hagye goes from here?

I don't know

You don't know?

Take a look...
I'll give you a discount

How much is this?

Who is it?

Laundry!.



Who?

Laundry!.

Doesn't Hong Jong-Il live here?

No one of that name here!.

Pardon?

No one of that name here!.

Did they move?

When, uh, did you move in?

Ma'am, do you have tofu?

Tofu? I'm afraid not

It's freezing!
What's so fun on TV?

What about raw tofu?

No, I don't

No?

How much?

It's on the house

Pardon?

You can have it for free,
enjoy yourself

Take your time... have some milk

Don't you have Haitai milk?

What's so special about Haitai?
They're all the same

"When it comes to milk, choose Haitai!"

Whatever...

-Hello? It's me, Ji-Hyun
-And Min-Hee

Don't mind her

I'm with Min-Hee by the school gate

Of course I'm playing hookey!

She's going to the Click-B concert

Come on, we can ditch Min-Hee...

Hey, I have to make a call...

But, I don't have any coins

Can you lend me some coins?

I'll call you back later

Please wait a bit longer
As soon as I get through...

Leave the table as it is!

Trust me, I won't run away!

I'll leave my shoes here

I can't run away barefoot, right?

My younger brother will come over
as soon as I get him on the phone

And when will that be?
You've made over ten calls already!

Explain it to the cops!

Sir, I'd really prefer not to do that,
for personal reasons...

Here, take my shoes

I promise I won't run away

Scared of the cops?

And you order food
when you're broke?

I thought I could
get him on the phone...

Officers, thanks for your trouble

Grab him!

That hurts!

- Stay still!
- That really hurts!

This is his record

He's only just been released.

Bastard's in the shit already!

Hong Jong-Du!

Yes, sir!

Three convictions, right?

Right

One for assault

One for attempted rape

And the last for involuntary
manslaughter?

You killed someone?

Oh, that... I was driving at dawn

It was dark and I didn't see
one of those sanitation workers

- You didn't see him?
- Right

How long did you serve?

Two and a half years

Then it must've been
a hit-and-run case

Yep

No one ever come to visit you in jail?

What's with your stupid summer shirt?

You got out today

You should've gone home
to see your family

Instead you wandered around broke,
and try to eat without paying

The thing is, my family moved

Changed the phone number, too

If I could've reached them,
of course I would've paid

My brother's office used to be
right by that restaurant

When I let you use the phone,
you didn't even know the number

You shouldn't have set foot in the
restaurant in the first place

Don't you know it's a crime
to eat without paying?

Of course, I do

Hong Jong-Sae!

Over here! Come on!

Hurry, it's okay

Say hello

He's my younger brother

Good evening, officers

Come on, grab a chair

- Are you his younger brother?
- Yes, I am

Hey, did you dye your hair?

It doesn't suit you at all

- A friend of his?
- No, his brother

Feels fucking great!

Stop it! I'm closing
the window, it's too cold

Stop it!

Are you angry?

I'm not angry

I said stop it

You're angry, huh?

You're angry with me, right?

Jong-Du, as a favor,
please don't disrupt my life, okay?

Please

Darling!

I'm home!

What the hell are you wearing?

They sent you out like this
in the middle of winter?

It's because it was summer
when I went in

Ma, why is the place so shabby?

Since your brother was laid off...

He had to sell the apartment
to run a new business

Don't say anything!

Which is his room? This one?

Everybody, I'm back!

Jong-Du!
When did you get out?

Where's Jung-Min? Asleep?

Yes, don't wake him

But he hasn't seen me in ages!

My god, what is this? Jong-Du!

Hurry! Hurry!

Go wash your feet!

You see this mess on the floor?

Have you been in
a rice-paddy or something?

-Have you eaten?
- Yes

Please lift the toilet seat!

Stop standing around and sit

It's late, I should be going

How did you find him
to bring him here?

Don't ask!

Where are we going to put him?

Ma, I got you a present

You think you've been abroad
or something?

Here, try it on

I'll try it on later

No, do it now

I told the guy I'd change it
if it doesn't fit

Sister-in-law, I'll buy you an
even better one later

Forget it!

Wow, Mrs Hong, you're a knockout!

How's business?

You quit?

Let's have a drink tonight!

It's been a while

You're busy?
You said you quit

Okay, Okay... I'm hanging up,
you bastard!

"The number you dialed
is no longer in service"

Sit down for a moment

It's about time you grew up

Do you know what that means?

Being an adult means you can't
just do whatever you like

You have to be responsible
for your actions

You have to fit in with society,
be aware of how others see you

That's what being
an adult is all about

Stop shaking your leg!

How old is he?

Just turned 28

29

He'll be 29 after the new year

That's when I turn 30

sn't 29 a bit old to deliver food?

His age doesn't matter,
he has to start somewhere

He has no special skills...

Well, it'll be useful experience

Good preparation
for other kinds of work

If you want to learn,
there's a lot to learn

Even by delivering food on a motorcycle,
you meet all sorts of people...

When do I start?

He hasn't finished yet

You're always do that

Let people finish first,
and then talk

What's your rush?

Try to listen and understand till the end

Then you speak next

If you want, you can start today

How about tomorrow?
I got somewhere to go today

I know...

Miss...

Excuse me, is that the Euijungbu
Citizens' Apartment Building?

Careful, that's fragile!

Okay

Hello!

Does Han Sang-Shik live here?

Are you moving out today?

You must be the daughter

Can you talk?

What's your name?

What are you doing?

How do you do?

You must be moving out today?

What can I do for you?

You don't remember me?
We've met before...

You must have bad memory

t was two-and-a-half years ago,
at the police station

After your father
died in a traffic accident...

Why are you here?

I just came to say hello

I wondered how you were all doing

You know, I got out of prison
the other day

I wanted to come yesterday,
but I wasn't sure about the address

Get out of here! Now!

We don't need your greetings,
so leave

What's going on? Who is this?

No need to get mad

I just came by to say hello

What makes you think anyone wants
your greetings? Get out now!

Get the hell out!

Alright, I'm leaving! But...

And take this with you!

Good luck on your move!

Must be going to a nice place

You're off now?

You're still here?

Didn't I tell you to go?

Yeah, I should go

But your sister...
Aren't you taking her with you?

She'll live here alone?
I mean, being disabled and all...

What business is that of yours?

I was just asking...
I was worrying...

Why should you worry?

What the hell do you know about it?

Clear off!

Okay, I'm leaving

Let's go

I'm here to pick up the dishes

The bill's paid, right?

Yes, sir

Why are you singing my song?

I'm sorry...

It's bad luck to have
someone sing after me

Pick up the dishes and go!

We're almost closed,
so I'm in no hurry

I'm getting lousy cards tonight

I guess it's not your lucky day!

"HONG KONG RESTAURANT"

Get out of the shot!

Mister, what's going on here?

Get out of the shot!

What a nice car!

Hey, you're not really driving!
I could do that, too

What movie is it?
Who's in it?

Speak up a bit

I told you to get out
of the shot, man!

Get the boom mike closer

You think you're still a teenager?
A member of a bike gang?

You took the food delivery
motorcycle for a midnight spin?

Let him be

Could you go outside to smoke?

I'm sorry to tell you this

But, I really don't like you

I know this sounds harsh...

But with you out of the way
I felt good about life

Without you, we had no worries

It's not only me, but your brother
and your Ma feel the same way

I didn't want to tell you,
but I suppose it had to come out

Can I help you?

Pardon?

What do you want?

I'm here to deliver flowers

Flowers?

Someone's sending flowers
to Gong-Ju?

Wait a moment

Who sent them?

I'm not allowed to tell just anyone

I'll take them

Give me the flowers

She's asking who sent them

Hong Jong-Du

They're from someone
called Hong Jong-Du

Alright, you can go now

Anyone in?

Hi!

Do you like the flowers?

Don't be scared,
I'm not here to hurt you

Why am I here?
Don't you want to know?

Should I tell you or not?

I'm here because you interest me

I want to get to know you better

I'm not lying

Looking like that at least,
you're not bad for a girl

You're pretty

I thought so the first time
I saw you

Don't be scared!
Can't you trust me?

I'll give you my phone number

This is the number at my
brother's shop

That's where I sleep

So you can call me there anytime

You have pretty feet, you know

The prettiest I've ever seen

To be honest, I've never seen
another woman's feet before

You don't wear socks?

Me neither, I get all sweaty

What's wrong?

It's alright...

Be a good girl...

Oh boy, they're beautiful...

Come on, don't struggle

Come on, just stay still,
for a second, okay?

Just for a second

Be a good girl, there you go...

Stay still, bitch!

Please...

Please don't struggle, okay?

Hey!

Oh shit, this is trouble!

Oh shit

Fuck!

Fucking asshole...

What...?

What?

What?

Rock, scissors, paper!

Scissors! I win!

Rock, scissors, paper!

Paper! I win!

Why aren't you at work?

Is something wrong?

You weren't in another accident,
were you?

Why are the kids at home?

They're on break

I thought Ma was going out

Where can she go?

She's always complaining
that her legs hurt...

Hey, why are you like this?

Come on, come on

I have to get back

Your mother's waiting for me...
She'll suspect!

Where are you going?

Your breath smells!

What did you have for lunch?

You had dog soup, didn't you?

Is that why you're so fired up?

What's wrong?

She's watching

It doesn't matter

The floor is cold!

Oh my god, who's that?
I knew we shouldn't do this!

Who is it?

It's me

Who?

Me, Sang-Shik!

Oh! Just a moment!

How are you?

You're both here?

I was making Gong-Ju's lunch
and he was lending a hand too

We worry about her...

I'm much indebted

Not at all!

Gong-Ju, your brother's here!

Gong-Ju, are you ready?

Coming!

Good afternoon

We're from the district office and we're
conducting a survey of tenants

Yes, I heard about it...
Do come in

Sorry to be a bother

The tenancy is in
the name of Han Gong-Ju

Yes, she's my sister-in-law

Is she here?

She's in there

She loves listening to music

How do you do?

She tends to get shy and clam up
in front of strangers

Gong-Ju, do you want a drink?

Oh, I haven't offered you anything
Can I get you a drink?

Never mind, we should be going

This building is for disabled tenants

But, we've heard people moved
in using other names

So we have to check in person

Of course, it's only right

Sorry to trouble you

Thank you for your good work

What have you been eating?
You weigh a ton!

Darn light still doesn't work!

Your sister-in-law is waiting in the car,
I should go now

Give me a call if anything's wrong

Call me if the neighbors don't feed
you properly or anything else

After all, we're paying them
200,000 won a month

200,000 won is not a small
amount, you know

Alright, you go now

I'll stop by when I can

Hello?

Pardon?

Pardon?

What are you saying?

What the hell?

I'm calling... to...

...ask you something

Relax

Only if you say you'll forgive me

You said you wanted to
ask me something

What was it?

Why...

"Why..."

Why... did you...

"Why did you?"

Why did you bring me flowers?

Why did I bring you flowers?

I don't really know

Is your name really Gong-Ju?

Yes

Why?

Well, because Gong-Ju
means "princess"...

I'm descended from a general

Ever heard of General Hong
Kyung-Rae?

I'm his 1 8th-generation descendant!

Hong Kyung-Rae... wasn't... a general

Pardon?

Hong Kyung-Rae... was a... traitor...
not a general...

Hong Kyung-Rae was a traitor,
not a general?

Was he?

From now on...

...I'm going to call you
Your Highness

Your Highness, the princess!

Then I will call you... General

General?

Your Highness!

Yes, General!

General, what do you do?

Me?

What do you do?

I fix cars

I work with my brother
at his small auto shop

I envy you

What's there to envy?

I envy... people with jobs

Are you stuffy in here?

You want to go out for a while?

Ma!

Jong-Du

How do you do?

How do you do

The pastor came to see us,
and he was just leaving

I've heard a lot about you

-You've been through a lot
-Thanks for your concern

He sang in the choir
when he was little

Is that so?

Excuse me, I want to ask a favor

Could you pray for me now?

Come on now, Jong-Du...

Right now?

Yes, sir

Why not? Let's pray together

Gather around

You too, Ma'am

Let's all pray together, holding hands

Our Father in heaven, please
watch over a poor soul...

...who waits upon
Your salvation

Please forgive his sins

We beseech You to bestow
Your blessings upon him

And to protect his soul from evil

This young soul seeks to be reborn
in Your everlasting love

Brother!

Brother, teach me how to work here

You want to learn how to fix cars?

Here? From me?

Yes, I want to learn!
I know I can do it

I promise to work hard

What's behind this?
What are you up to?

That's not what I showed you!

That way, it won't turn

Fuck, this is hard!
Hey, how do you work this thing?

Did you call me "Hey"?

I mean "Sir"

That's better

Sir, how the hell does this work?

Take this

What's your favorite color?

My favorite color?

Let's see...

My favorite is white

Mine too... It's clean

And your favorite season?

Uh... summer

I like winter!

I don't like summer,
I get all sweaty

Mosquitoes, flies... I really hate them

Your favorite food?

Jajang noodles!
Best thing in the world!

I really craved for it
during my military service

And you, Your Highness?

I like everything...

I'm no princess about food

...except beans

Beans?

I hate beans the most

Why do you hate beans?

Makes me feel like throwing up

There's something wrong with them

Gong-Ju!
Is someone in here?

No! No one!

I thought I heard talking

Just... radio

Don't you get tired
of listening to it all day?

You've hardly touched your food!

I'm going out this evening

Can you make do
with these leftovers?

That's alright... I'm not very hungry

Why are you smiling?
Something nice happen to you?

I'll be going

"If I were a poet,
I would sing for you..."

"Like a child resting in its
mother's bosom..."

"I want to..."

"A little calf was sitting on
the stove and crying..."

"Ma! Pa! My bottom is burning!"

I'm... scared

Scared of what?

Over there... the shadow

It's an Oasis!
What so scary?

It's only the
shadow of a tree outside

But... it's still scary

Don't worry,
I'll get rid of it for you

How?

By magic! I'll make it
all disappear by magic

Close your eyes

Abracadabra!

Going...

Going...

Gone!

Gong-Ju! We're here!

My voice?

You like my voice?

Yep, there's something
about my voice

Pardon?

You're saying my voice is good...

But my face makes you sick?

Your Highness

You're upsetting me!

What's wrong with my face?

The shadow?

The shadow is scaring you again?
And you need my magic?

Okay, let me concentrate...

Abracadabra!

Abracadabra!

It's going...

It's going...

It's going...

I'm going out on a date!

You're going to have no fun!

It's Sunday but you're stuck here!

No date for you! You're out of luck!

Quiet!

What's so funny?

Blue crab soup, broiled eels, fried
octopus, fried rice...

Marinated beef, shabu-shabu,
shark's fin soup...

Welcome!

Sorry, we're closing

Excuse me?

Lunch is over

You're closing?

Please try somewhere else

What about these people?

We just finished serving lunch,
we can't take any more orders

Let's just go

It's an NBA game...
Michael Jordan!

Please try somewhere else,
I'm sorry

Hey, I'm watching that!

What?

Enjoy your meal!

Come on

Let's go

Come in

What're you doing there in the cold?

What do you want to eat?

Anything

Anything?

I'll have... Jajang noodles

Jajang noodles? Sounds great!

Want to watch TV?

Hi, this is Mangwon auto shop

Two orders of Jajang noodles,
one of fried dumplings...

One mixed seafood, a bottle of
Gaoliang, and make it fast!

Hello, Mangwon auto shop...
Oh hi, sister-in-law

No, he isn't here, it's Sunday

Who knows where he went?

You should keep a better eye on him

Something's fishy about him lately

The money? Oh, that...

That's what I was trying to tell you

That hurt!

Yeah, but I didn't want to wake you

Of course I know what I did!

That's so upsetting

"That's so upsetting"

If you say that, I feel bad

"If you say that, I feel bad"

What? That's not what I meant...

Fuck! Now it's cut off!

Why are you angry with me?

What did I do?

You got angry with me!

How dare you?

What's upset you all of a sudden?

Why are you like this?

The Jajang noodles are here

I'll tell you about the dream
I had last night

I was in your room,
dancing with Your Highness

But we weren't alone

An Indian woman, a kid and an elephant
...the ones from the oasis

You know,
that Oasis picture on your wall

I know it was only a dream...

But it seemed so real

What the fuck is all this traffic?

Shit, this feels great!

Step out, Your Highness!

It's alright, you can get out

Isn't this great?

We're on the expressway,
Your Highness

When would we get to stand
in the middle of an expressway?

You have a go too, Your Highness

Isn't this great?

Aw, fuck...

Out of the car!

Now, you bastard!

How could you take out
a customer's car?

I'm very sorry

Everything has been repaired

The car's running fine

I took it out for a test drive,
and there's no problem

That's not the issue

Do you know how long
I've been waiting here?

I'm terribly sorry

How should I know he was
picking it up on a Sunday?

Come inside

Do you have a driver's license?

Well, do you or not?

You know that it was
revoked after the accident

So you went driving without a license
in a customer's car?

Haven't I told you to grow up,
and behave like an adult?

How many times have I told you
to be responsible for your actions?

Bend over

I said, bend over

Start counting

Why... won't you tell me?

You'll see when we get there

Anyway, it's a nice place
so you should look pretty

I'm already pretty now

Welcome! Which party are you with?

Mrs. Hong's

Just a moment, please

Right at the end there

Have a nice time

Thank you

I think I'm the last to arrive

Long time no see, Jong-Du!
You're late!

Hi, uncle!

Happy birthday, Ma!

Don't call me your Ma!
I don't know you!

Who's this you've brought?

Let me introduce her...
This is Miss Han Gong-Ju

She's my friend

What kind of friend is she?

Sorry?

What kind of friend
have you brought here?

Just a friend...

Since it's Ma's
birthday and everything...

I thought it'd be nice
to bring her along

That's nice!

Please enjoy the dinner,
while you are here

This is for members of the family only

You can't just bring someone
without asking!

Why not?

Anyhow, you should know her too

Who is she?

Remember the sanitation worker?

The man who died in the accident?

The car accident?

Uncle, I went to prison
because of that accident

And?

She's his daughter

Let's step outside

Why?

I want to talk to you

Let's eat first and talk later

Now!

You're driving me crazy,
you know that?

How did you meet that girl?

I went to her house

Why did you go there?

Because I felt guilty

Why did you feel guilty?

If anyone should feel guilty,
it should be me!

Jong-Il, let me talk to him

Jong-Du, look at me, will you?

You've got it in for me, right?

You blame me, don't you?

Why would I blame you?

Why else would you go to her house
and bring her here?

Let me talk to him
You go back inside, Jong-Il

Listen to me carefully

No one forced you to go to prison

You volunteered, didn't you?

After Jong-Il ran over that guy,
you were to first to say it

That he had a family to feed
and a future, so you'd go in for him

You also said you had
prior convictions, had no job

and knew the way to jail

Isn't that what you said?

You have a good memory, don't you,
you bastard!

So you shouldn't act this way

What have I done wrong?

Tell me the truth, Jong-Du

What exactly is in your mind?

What do you mean?

Why did you bring her here?

Please take her back home

Why?

Isn't it obvious?
You shouldn't be doing this!

But I'm hungry!

Is that important now?

Gong-Ju has to eat, too

She's our guest!
We can't just tell her to go!

Fuck, why did you pull
a stunt like this?

Think before you do something!

I don't know what you mean

Jong-Du, come back here!
We haven't finished talking!

Jong-Du!

Remember, there were loads of
greenfinches behind our house

I used to think they were sparrows

But Dad told me
they were greenfinches

And that they had little bells
under their necks

So I used to stand
under the big tree forever...

...to look for the bells on their necks

I thought it was true they had bells

Why are you telling this story now?

Tell me! Why this story?

It just came into my mind...

Why would that story
come into your mind right now?

I don't know, it just did

I wish I could understand
what goes on in your head

Tell me, what made you think of
those sparrows?

He said they were greenfinches,
not sparrows

Hey, this photo is family only!

We should all be in it
for the family album

You should look your best

Not with her, you idiot!

Pardon?

Fuck, then I won't be in it either!

Jong-Du, where are you going?

Jong-Du!

Let him go

So are we taking a picture or not?

Just go ahead

Here we go

Everybody look this way... Fine!

One, two, three!

Fuck, it's cold as hell, isn't it?

Want to go to karaoke?
How about that?

Your Highness, my princess,
please don't be angry

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, it was my fault

Your Highness,
I beg for your forgiveness

My princess, let's just go home

What do you want?
You don't want to go home?

Fuck! Do you want to
stay here all night?

Do whatever you like, I'm going

"As I stumbled through
the dark labyrinth of my past..."

"...I didn't know
the meaning of existence"

"Now I know,
the reason I exist is you"

"I'd do anything for you..."

"I'd even reach up
and touch the sky"

Thank you very much!

Now, Princess Han
will do the next song

Sing it

Go ahead and try

"If I were the sky..."

"I'd want to be
colored into your face"

"Like the sky tinged red
by the setting sun..."

"I'd want to be
colored on your cheeks"

"If I were a poet..."

"I would sing for you"

"Like a child resting in
its mother's bosom"

"I want to sing happily"

"I want to become
whatever there is..."

"Just for you"

"Do you have any idea, my love..."

"How great a joy this is?"

"Just to be together like today"

"Do you know
what's in my heart?"

Fuck, where's the light switch?

Here, I'll help with your coat

Better go before
the bus stops running...

Want to see a magic trick?

See ya'! Goodnight!

What's wrong?

Don't go

You want me to stay?

I want to sleep with you

Sleep with me?
What are you talking about?

Don't you know...

"Don't you know..."

...what a woman means...
when she says...

"...what a woman means...
when she says"

I want to sleep with you?

"I want to sleep with you"

You said I was quite pretty...

It's not there?

Is that okay?

Is that okay?

Stop!

Maybe she's asleep?
The lights aren't on

It's rather late

Oh, the cake!

What's wrong? Does it hurt?

Want me to stop?

Maybe she's asleep

Yes, the radio isn't on either

And she always has the radio on...
Look at this mess!

Gong-Ju, are you asleep?

Gong-Ju?

Oh, My god! Come here! Quick!

Who the hell are you?
What are you doing to her?

Get the neighbors! Quick!

Get out!
Get the hell away from her!

Come out! Quick! There's a fire!

There's a fire! We need help!

What's going on?

Hurry and go inside!

What's going on?

Poor Gong-Ju, save her!

Shut up for a moment!

Get a move on!

Come out of that room!

Get away from her!

Get away from her!

Get the hell away from her!

Get a move on!
Get the hell out of there!

Should we come too?

Of course, and the victim too

She's very disturbed right now

As you can see, she's disabled,
and it's hard for her to speak, too

Still, we need her to be there

She'll have to be examined

Then we'll follow you in my car

That'll be fine

You have previous convictions, right?

Yes

How many?

Three

What for?

A hit-and-run while driving drunk...

A physical assault...

And?

Attempted rape

I bet you're a pervert, too

Spit it out, are you a pervert?

Who are you here to see?

We're Hong Jong-Du's relatives

I see... please wait over there

Jong-Il! You're here!

Why are you here?
You didn't have to come...

What's your relationship
with this man?

He's my elder brother,
and he's my younger brother

This man is under arrest
for an attempted rape

We spoke on the phone, right?

That's right

The victim is over there

Her family wants to talk to you,
that's why I called you

The case is open-and-shut,
he was caught in the act

But how could he assault
a poor girl like her?

I simply don't get it

Looking at her turns you on?

How come we always meet
in a police station?

You bastard!

Can you even call yourself human?

You're an animal! A beast!

Hey, calm down

Let me see

Let's meet some place better
next time, okay?

Can I have a word with you?

To be frank...

He's my brother,
but I've never really understood him

As my youngest brother knows

We've done everything
to turn him into a real person

But this time he's
gone beyond forgiveness

How do you think I feel?

I understand, of course

We must have very bad karma
from a past life

First our father, and now my sisters

I've been thinking a lot, and...

What's on your mind?

The police said that...

Prosecuting him in court
won't comfort or compensate her

So...

So you're saying
you're open to a deal?

How much are you expecting?

I can't say it just straight out

This isn't a business transaction,
you know

You must have a figure in mind

Please say it.

One officer told me...

It's at least 20 million won
in a case like this

As I just said, he's gone beyond
forgiveness this time

It's true that he's my brother,
but I'll have to disown him

It may sound harsh,

but I think society
needs to be protected from him

But have you listened
to what your sister said?

About what?

About what happened tonight

What do you mean, what happened?

What the hell do you think happened?
Isn't it obvious?

Can't you see with your own eyes?

Motherfuckers!

How did the assailant
gain entry to the apartment?

Miss, take your time and speak slowly

She gets worse when
she's stressed and nervous

We leave a key in the flowerpot
on the balcony

He must've seen
the neighbor leave it there

Did he threaten you with
a knife or any other weapon?

There were no weapons

Who'd need a weapon to
overpower her?

Is this the clothing
the victim was wearing?

It is

And this is the bedsheet?

It is

And is that man the assailant?

Hey, you! Stand up! Now!

Is that him?

Yes

I think we're through!
Take him away to the cells

Miss, you're safe now

Nothing more to be afraid of

Are the statements true?

Yes, they are

Have you been offered any
guarantee for hospital bills?

Honey, they're asking
if we've had any guarantees

No

No guarantees

What's wrong, dear?
There's nothing to be scared of now

Everything's alright now

What are you staring at, bastard?

Why are you hitting him like that?

I didn't, I just shoved him

I saw you hit him just now!

What the fuck are you saying?

Who the fuck do you think you are,
talking to me like that?

Do something

Calm down... Calm down...

It's almost over...

Gong-Ju...

Hold on, just a little longer, okay?

Try to forget everything and sleep

You'll feel better
after a good night's sleep

We'll stay here tonight

So there's nothing to be afraid of

Hands behind your back

You wretched boy!

Remember our pastor, right?

He wants to see you

He wants to pray for you,
so that's why I brought him

Jong-Du, the best thing
at a time like this is prayer

Let's all be seated

Sit down

Excuse me, but could you take off
his handcuffs while we pray?

Let us pray

Dear Father almighty...

Please forgive this poor lost sheep
as he struggles to find salvation

Help him to find his way back,
resisting all temptation

Hey, catch him!

Pastor!

Dear Father almighty!
Dear Father almighty!

Please forgive this poor lost sheep

Shut up, you fucking bitch!
I'll kill you!

Where's your phone?
Give me your phone, now!

Stay still or I'll kill you

Hello? Is that Han Gong-Ju's
apartment?

May I speak to Gong-Ju?

Me?
My name is Hong Jong-Du

Sorry, but let me speak to Gong-Ju

Fuck!

Piss off, bitch!

Careful, it's hot

Thanks

What's going on?

Come down from there!

You fucking bastard!

Hong Jong-Du, come down!

What the hell do you think
you're doing up there?

Get down, you fucker!

Hey, watch out!

That guy is completely crazy!

Be quiet out there!

What're you doing?

Pardon?

What are you doing there?

Cutting off the branches

You're waking up
the whole neighborhood

What's going on?

That guy isn't normal

What are you doing up there?
Climb down!

There's only one branch left!
You're doing great!

Saw that off and come down, okay?

Your Highness!

Your Highness!

Is he hurt?

Cuff him, quick!

Take him away!

What the hell is it now?

Can't you keep the noise down?

What are you all doing out there
at this time of night?

There are young people
trying to study!

This has gone on long enough!

Your Highness, this is your general

I hope you're doing well,
staying healthy and everything

I'm doing alright here,
taking care of myself

Getting used to the
"bean meals" here again...

But, dont't worry,
they dont't actually serve beans

But when the odd bean gets mixed in,
I always think of you

Now I dont't like beans, either

I'm dreaming of the day I can
eat tofu when I get out of here

You must be so bored,
all alone in your apartment

I play soccer and table tennis
and other things to keep fit

So dont't worry about me

When I get out,
I'll buy you lots of delicious food

Make a list of all the things
you want to eat

Until I write you again,
take care of your precious person

Goodbye for now
