Address Unknown (2001) Movie Script

AN AUTUMN IN THE SEVENTIES
I will see you later.
Look at me when you leave.
You call yourself a man?
Why, you brat!
Mom, do you have
some money?
I want to go to the movies.
I just wanna see a movie.
HEY, hey. Chang-Gum!
What are you looking at?
PROFESSIONAL PORTRAITS
- I want a "Playboy". You got it?
- I got it.
Nine dollars.
Why are you so late?
Come on!
Looks like about 30 pounds.
Load it up.
Give me one more!
After I bone it,
it'll only be 20 pounds.
Move your ass over.
Pull!
Pull it, you dumbass!
Pull it, you dumbass!
Hey, you do it!
You fucking moron!
Light the burner
and bring it in.
Enjoy your stew.
Oh, it's you.
How much?
- Just give me the usual.
- Okay.
Look!
It means "pleasure."
Look at this one.
"O-R-G-A-N-I-Z-E"
What are you doing?
I need some more yellow paint.
"Address Unknown" again.
You've sent so many.
Maybe you should give up.
Welcome.
Give me one mackerel can.
What?
Mackerel can.
No! They're not for sale!
Why?
This is Korea!
Speak Korean!
I will go to America.
Where are they?
Get out! I won't sell to you!
Get out! Get out!
They're not for sale!
Are you pushing me?
I don't want to hear
your stupid foreign talk!
Come here!
Bitch!
You fucking ruined my day!
You bastard.
You weren't like this
when you were a boy.
You learned English well.
- You listened to your mom.
- Shut up, you whore!
Before I stomp
you to death!
I told you
to stop this craziness!
Damn bastard!
No, Chang-Guk!
Please, stop!
He hit you again?
That rotten bastard!
Don't you call
my son a bastard.
Who else would do this?
I'll make sure he doesn't do it again.
You hit my son,
and I'll kill you.
Let me see.
Damn it.
You wanna become
like me, too?
Ma'am!
Here's your monthly pension.
Give me your stamp.
You're lucky to have
such an honorable father.
Did your father die
in the Baekma-Goji battle?
Doesn't that bother you?
Your brother shot you
with a toy gun, right?
Let me see.
Let's see how bad it is.
Now you want to blind
my dog, too?
Why do you leave it anywhere?
And why is your eye my fault?
We were playing.
You shouldn't have moved!
You can still see
with one eye!
- You two fight all the time!
- Damn it.
Where did your husband die?
At the Nakdong River Battle?
I don't know.
They haven't found the body.
What are you going to do
about your daughter's eye?
They could fix it at the
American military hospital.
If you're finished, go.
I feel bad for your daughter.
She has her whole life ahead of her.
Whenever I hold an arrow,
I remember the war.
At the Battle of Nakdong River,
we fought a northern squadron.
I shot three of them dead!
- So why didn't you get a medal?
- Exactly.
The government's
so screwed up!
They gave them to those
cowards who missed the action.
Look at this.
For this, all I get is
a measly $30 a month.
Disgusting!
Pull it down, quick!
What's wrong?
This is as good as a medal.
You think they give medals
to just anybody?
Arrogant asshole!
Listen to the great
Yankee ass-licker!
Yeah, but I never
killed any one.
With you,
it's always the war.
Why are you so proud
that you killed three Koreans?
Sergeant Kim!
Are you proud
of killing three men?
You scummy lowlife.
No wonder you have
dog blood on your hands!
Sure! Let's see
if you don't sell your dog to me.
Wanna bet?
Who's betting at this
sacred archery field?
That's shit!
In the old days, a butcher wouldn't
have been allowed to shoot arrows.
Only wealthy farmers could!
Times have surely changed.
Now we have dogmeat hackers here.
Fuck you!
A meat hacker!
Are you done talking?
- You guys are always fighting!
- Give it a rest!
Want to see me grab
a dog right now?
Got to be patient.
- Leave him alone.
- He's asking for it! Shit!
All he's got is
that pathetic pride of his.
Are we going to play or not?
You go first.
Really? Yes.
Will you be quiet!
What are you doing undressed?
You crazy bitch!
- Mom! Where's my puppy?
- I don't know.
Hey, Jihum.
About this big,
and its fur is white...
with some black spots.
You'll be
in each other's pants next.
Go home!
- Anybody here?
- Yes, come in.
We want to sell a dog.
We found it on the street.
I don't need such young...
I don't take puppies.
Take it away.
I know you stole it.
Shit! It's still dog meat.
Why won't she buy it?
Let's kill it and sell it.
Then she won't know
it's a puppy.
Bring it here.
Bring it here!
What... dammit!
What the hell?
Hey. You do it.
You dick!
You dumb fuck.
You think
I like doing this?
Why'd you hit
my girlfriend yesterday?
You bastard!
Don't run away!
You asshole!
Wait till you come
crawling back.
Get back to work!
What the hell?
Get out of here!
Get out of here.
Get back to work!
Get out of here!
Get out of here!
Bastard.
I don't need you
around here!
Hey, that's enough!
You'll ruin the meat.
Come here.
You should've listened earlier,
you moron.
I wouldn't have had to hit you.
Here, have a swig.
To be a dog dealer,
you gotta outstare them.
When a dog looks
straight at you it's scary, right?
But you know
what's scarier?
The human eye.
You know why dogs lower
their tails when they see me?
Because there's fire
in my eyes.
Look.
You want to go
to your father's country?
Answer in English.
I know your mother taught you
English by beating it into you.
Speaking English is nothing.
You gotta do everything those
Yankees tell you to, everything!
By the way, you bastard,
why did you hit my girl?
She's your mom,
but she's my girlfriend.
Before you were born.
Look at me
like I look at the dogs.
That's enough.
Your eye's about to explode.
Hey-
Come over here, stupid.
Did you hear what I said?
If you went to school,
I'd be two grades ahead of you.
But you don't, moron!
What do you know better than us?
I'll ask,
and you answer in English.
He asked if you wanted
to go to school.
This is for being so dumb.
Got it?
Got it?
- Answer with respect.
- Yes.
We're not stealing.
It's payment for the textbook.
Hey!
Give me some more.
You little shit!
What did you do?
What are you guys doing?
Hey, crossbreed!
Say that again!
If they do that to you again,
come tell me.
What's this?
Have you ever seen
a naked girl?
This is boring.
She's not undressing.
Are you okay?
Look at me!
Let me see.
It's only a small cut.
How could she stab
me with a pencil?
Does it hurt?
Shit, I'm going home.
Having fun?
I guess you saw me naked,
like these pictures.
Even playing
With my PUPPY-
I saw dogs doing it
the other day.
It made me feel strange.
Look, just like dogs, right?
Get up, you bastard!
It's... a gun!
Shoot!
Shoot!
Do it. You don't have
the guts. Shoot it!
Eunok, walk straight!
Eunok, what's wrong with you?
Have you been drinking?
Eunok!
What's wrong with you?
I can't believe it.
35 pounds!
Is that all?
He's at least 40.
Weigh him again.
Forget it! You should be
thankful I'm buying it.
- Okay, don't lose your temper.
- In the cage.
Put it in the noose,
stupid!
Can't we let this one go?
He's my friend's dog.
Don't talk shit.
Put it in the noose!
Go!
You bastard!
Get over here, you bastard!
Do you have any sense, dickhead?!
You asshole!
Stop right there!
Hey, Dog-Eye.
The dog's lying dead
in my yard.
Get over here now.
Where did you bury it?
Tell me now,
you moron!
I don't have the money...
so where is it buried?
Damn it!
Crazy bastard...
Good work.
Get some work done, okay?
What's going on?
Back to work!
- What makes you so almighty?
- Back to work!
Do some work!
No trouble, okay?
Son of a bitch! Where
are you taking this innocent girl?
You think I don't know
what you are?
You pretend to be nice
and then eat her up.
I worked three years
at Camp Carol.
Eunok, do you want to end up
like Chang-Guk's ma?
Go home!
What are you saying?
You can't give me my pension?
By any chance, have you heard
from Mr. Wonli Jang?
How could I?
He's dead!
They say your husband
didn't die in the war...
he's alive in North Korea.
It's been confirmed that Jang Won-ll
voluntarily went North.
Voluntarily?
So, if you ever see him
around, report him to us.
And report to us if you leave
the village. The kids, too.
We're the family
of an honored soldier!
Not anymore,
he's a defector.
The exact opposite.
Bear that in mind.
We're always watching you.
Return the medal and certificate
of merit by tomorrow.
Don't cry.
They say father's alive!
What use is he alive?
What are we going to live on?
Don't take it out on me,
damn it.
What's wrong with you?
What's the matter?
Who's the bastard?
Tell me now!
Look at me!
Come here, you bastard!
Get up, asshole!
GYNECOLOGY CLINIC
Go in! Now!
Got any money?
They're hiring people to make
underwear for the American soldiers.
Why stay at home?
You got kicked out of school anyway.
Clear off and die,
you worthless shit.
Damn it!
They're commie bastards,
executed during the war.
He was a second lieutenant.
These bastards did this to me.
Anything else down there?
What's this?
It looks important.
Look, shouldn't you
report that to the police?
What,
this rusty old thing?
Bury the bones by the river.
I always thought the water
in our well was tasty.
They say that rotting corpses
improve the taste.
- Clean this up.
- Okay.
I bet it still works.
It's been a while since I heard
a gunshot. It reminds me of the war.
How many commies
did your father kill?
Three.
That's right, three commies,
but no goddamn medal.
Don't tell anyone...
about the gun.
I... I'm having eye surgery today.
Is it that American soldier?
No, don't have it done.
You want me to spend
the rest of my life like this?
Hold me.
Hold me... hold me.
No! I like you
the way you are!
Is this what you like?
Tell me the truth!
Are you sure you could smile
at this for the rest of your life?
Are you?
Can you see me?
You got paid today, right?
He asked if you got paid.
You haven't been studying!
I'll ask you again,
an easy one.
Why can't we be friends?
My name...
Who asked you your name?
Try it again with me!
If you can't answer me...
then you'll take
five blows each.
You're a mixed-blood bastard, right?
Yeah, that's right, asshole!
Your mom was a western princess who
sold herself for American soldiers, right?
Yeah, my mom was a Western
princess. What you gonna do about it?
You fucking piece of shit!
Dicks like you,
who are so English-hungry,
that'll go abroad and come back
to sell off our country.
What's your answer?
You do the rest!
Harder!
You said five blows!
Are you in there, Dog-Eye?
What brings you
to the butcher's?
Don't get your hands bloody.
Use this.
Fuck, my hands
are still bloody.
So who was it?
What's wrong?
Our wallets are gone!
Who's been through our pockets?
You went into the shed
for some water, right?
I just had some water,
that's all!
Liar!
You mix-blooded bastard!
What?
You bastard!
What's going on here?
This bastard stole our wallets.
He won't admit it!
I didn't do it!
You went in there, too.
I saw you.
What?
So you're judge and jury
are you? '
You're more suspicious than he is!
Where are your things?
What?
This is ridiculous!
Honey!
Look at that!
Hey! Are you stealing
our vegetables?
- Weren't you gonna throw this out?
- What?
Fine talk
from a thieving bitch!
I'll give you back!
These are only cabbages!
What's the thieving bitch
saying now?
They're not even fully grown!
- Plant them back again!
- Thieving bitch? You bitch!
You life is shitty
because you were so shameless!
What? What!
Crazy bitch!
Why am I a crazy bitch?!
Bye-bye.
Damn people.
That bastard!
You bastard!
Why you keep hitting her?
Have you no pity
for your mom?
He won't ever hit you again.
I kicked the living shit
out of him.
You bastard!
Who are you to hit my son?
He's already such a poor boy!
Fuck!
What the hell
am I supposed to do?
Shoot. Shoot!
Bastard.
Bastard!
Rotten son of a bitch!
What are you doing?
Chang-Guk...
What's wrong with you today?
Bear it for a minute.
MQm!
Mom, I was wrong
all this time.
Please, forgive me!
I want to live
happily with you, too.
He killed dogs,
and he died like a dog.
Don't talk like that
in front of the dead!
Where is your son?
He killed the dog butcher!
Get out!
Chang-Guk. . . Chang-Gum!
are now searching for War veterans
who did not receive medals...
due to administrative errors.
Anyone whose commanding officer
filed a request...
contact the Ministry
for National Defense...
by the 27m...
Service Number 72281444,
Sgt. Kim Jung-Ho under Commander...
Maj. Gen. Lee Jung-Hak
Regimental Commander...
Lt. Col. Jang Ul-Sung
Commander, Kim Ki-Dong...
I killed three enemy soldiers
at Nakdong River.
You found it?
Here!
Now do you believe me?
Look.
Who didn't believe you?
We were just teasing you.
Is it real platinum?
Careful.
Who cares whether it's platinum
or bronze? It's all about honor.
It looks good.
Beautiful!
Damn it!
Give me some money!
Are U.S. Soldiers that good?
You whore!
What are you doing?
Give it back!
Let me go, you bastard!
Shit!
Shameless bastard!
Playing with my sister... and
being stingy with some bucks!
Chang-Gum!
Chang-Gum!
Hey!
Remember that time
you hit me?
What are you staring at?
Don't look at me like that!
Look, I'm really scared now!
- Do you think I'm your inferior?
- Have you gone crazy?
Fuck, let go of me!
Son of a bitch!
Arrows are not
to be shot like that.
Let me show you.
Hold the bow correctly.
Look directly at the target,
hold your breath.
Empty your mind.
Like this, pull it all the way back.
Got it? Try it once.
Hold it properly.
Stay calm,
or you'll miss the target.
That's good.
Chang-Gum!
Chang-Gum!
Go away!
Go away!
- Eunok!
- Mom!
- What's wrong? What is it?
- Eunok!
- He's killing my Eunok!
- Where?
Come on, cooperate.
Whose arrow is this?
You practice together.
You must know!
We shot at the same time!
If you don't talk,
all three of you will go to jail!
It's mine.
You're sure this is yours?
Right?
I'm sure, so go ahead.
Officer Lee.
He has a war medal.
Can't you go easy on him?
- It's not as if any one died.
- It was an American soldier!
- Take him away.
- Let my father go!
I shot him.
What's this nonsense?
Go home, you brat!
What's going on here?
Did you really do it?
Yes.
You idiot! Don't you know
what a U. S. Soldier means?
Don't hit my son!
What's this?
Open your mouth.
Okay.
What are you doing here?
Bastard.
You had her too,
didn't you?
That bitch's eye is messed up,
but what a body!
You saw her breasts.
What the hell...
Officer!
Hey! What are you doing?
Let go, you son of a bitch!
Wake up!
Get him loose!
C'mon, breathe!
Are you all right?
Anyone home?
Anyone home?
I have a letter for you.
Stop! Stop the car!
- Bastard, stop what, punk?
- Stop! Stop!
Stop! Stop the car!
Stop! Stop the car!
