Arahan (2004) Movie Script

You're talking about the old days.
Training in the mountains?
That takes so much time.
All those instructors
chasing kids' pocket money,
saying they did mountain training.
It's all just crap.
Right.
Remember in 1988
when I went to Mt. Gyeryong?
You get up five or six in the morning.
Preparing breakfast and eating
takes one to two hours.
And then maybe train
for two to three hours.
And then it's lunch time.
You go down to the village
to get some lunch.
That's another three hours.
So, eat lunch and meditate.
Then you start nodding off.
Next thing you know, it's dinnertime.
So you got three hours
of training max in a day.
So where's the only place
to get proper training?
The temple.
Shaving your head and building a house
doesn't make it a temple.
Does all that training
give you the right to eat meat?
Look here,
how can you do
martial arts without nutrition?
You need strength.
What exactly do you do
with all that strength?
I can't believe this asinine nonsense!
Kids these days
don't even know the meaning of Tao.
You guys know
how serious our situation is?
Don't be so serious
when making a living is hard enough.
Let's use our brain to think, for once!
Forget Maruchi and Arachi supreme masters,
no one wants to learn the Tao.
Lady Banya,
if making a living is so important,
then keep doing
your telephone fortune-telling service.
My goodness.
You know how much money the service makes?
The phone service is a sign of the times.
You don't know crap.
Besides,
how else would you pay rent
for Mu-un Academy?
Yeah, Banya's right.
We need to keep up with times, you know?
Academy, my ass!
We ain't got no kids to teach!
Well,
I've been saying
we should pull some public stunt.
Like maybe appearing on a TV show.
I'm tired of staring up the wallpaper
when I levitate.
I only levitate to change the light bulbs.
Five hundred won, please.
What the heck?
Oh, sorry.
Ui-jin,
snap out of it, will you?
Well,
can I go to the restroom?
What?
Are you running off again?
What the hell is he doing?
Damn it.
Excuse me.
What?
You ran a red light, sir.
So what?
Your license, please.
What?
Look, do you know who this is?
- I don't recall.
- You dumbass.
He's the congressman of this district.
Oh, how are you, sir?
But he's not the one
who ran the light, is he?
You're the driver,
so give me your license.
Boy,
which station do you work at?
Why do you need to know that?
If you don't want a ticket,
then don't run red lights.
My purse!
- Hold on!
- My purse!
Stay right here, I'll be back in a minute.
Hey...
My gosh.
Hey mister, watch where you're going!
What's up with Manager Lee these days?
Stop right there!
Gosh, we're late!
- Do you think we're late?
- Yes, hurry!
What the hell?
Hey!
Do I have to keep running
after punks like you?
What the heck is your problem?
Watch it!
Hand over the purse, kiddo.
Who do you think you are?
Stop fooling around!
Damn it.
Missed again...
Hey, where are you going?
Get back here!
Wait.
Are you trying to run off?
Where are you running, you bastard?
I think this is the meridian point.
Aren't you going in too deep?
- No, this is...
- Let me concentrate!
Wait, we don't do this right,
it could make him impotent.
The last one in the main meridian point...
Great Tao!
He opened all the meridian points himself!
My, this kid has some extraordinary ch'i.
Look at him!
What?
What's all the fuss about?
Ui-jin.
What's wrong with him?
We unblocked the flow of his ch'i.
- Tell him to shut up.
- Ui-jin.
Where did you find that kid?
- Calm down.
- Okay, don't move.
Okay, I got it. What? Who are you?
Don't move, mister! I'm a cop!
- Don't move!
- I'm a cop.
- What?
- Calm down.
Man, this kid is cute.
- Look at him!
- He's got a cute dong, too.
- My goodness.
- Stop! I'm a police officer!
Police...
You've done it!
- What?
- Hold it.
- Oh my.
- It works.
Which point did you hit?
It may be hard to believe,
but the world has secret currents of ch'i.
We awaken this ch'i
and guide people toward righteousness.
So to speak.
So you gentlemen and this madam here
are called the Seven Masters, right?
But there are only five of you.
With only five, you should be...
Power Rangers?
Right, Power Rangers or...
- Five Lucky Stars?
- Yes, Five Lucky Stars!
Wouldn't that be more appropriate?
It's already been 20 years...
since Baek-pung left us.
In an era
where the powerful exploited
the powerless,
Baek-pung gathered up all his ch'i
to block the force of evil...
but he inhaled too much tear gas...
- And as for the seventh...
- Well...
I think you may have misunderstood...
Don't call me madam.
- I'm still a virgin.
- Seriously.
Then, are all of you here...
like, Tao masters?
You know, like you see on TV?
Sure!
I'm having a hard time believing this,
so could you show me stuff?
Like, can you levitate?
Can you walk on walls?
Can you do the Palm Blast?
Damn it!
No Palm Blasts in the house, I said!
Hold on!
Why are you doing this to me?
I've got to go to work!
What you saw just now
is the tip of the iceberg.
Why are you afraid of your own ability?
What ability?
- Put it down.
- What are you talking about?
- What...
- Calm down.
You have...
the most powerful ch'i
of all the young men
I have ever met.
The wounds you sustained today
would've felled ordinary people.
All right, fine.
If that's true,
I should be able to do Palm Blasts.
And walk on walls, like this?
And levitate, isn't that right?
Cripes, that was weird.
Pretty spooky stuff.
- The bus isn't coming.
- What?
Gosh.
He's weird. He's doing something weird.
What a nice night!
It's downhill, so I might as well run.
He's a weirdo.
But did you see him levitate?
Sometimes ch'i just comes out by itself
after you unblock it.
It wasn't his own ch'i.
Actually,
I did the Palm Blast back there.
Why did you shoot at the window?
It's broken again!
I shot at the wall.
Hey, you! You can't catch thieves,
but you ticket the congressman?
You think
we're some kind of citizens' group?
Yes!
My gosh. Get him out of my sight. Go!
Courtesy!
Hey, does he really plan on being a cop?
Nobody saw it.
Who will believe
you were knocked out for a full day?
Oh, about that...
- That's...
- Look here.
It's important to run,
but it's even more important
to run when people are watching.
- But yesterday...
- Quiet.
Officers in the area,
move to the site immediately, over.
If you guys are unsure,
then just do as I tell you. Okay?
Or bring your boss here!
Sang-hwan!
Look who's here!
It's Sheriff Choi.
Oh, Mr. Gang!
I was wondering who was causing trouble.
Why are you doing this to me?
Where have you been these days?
I've been busy too.
You think I play around all day?
And if something's up,
just call me directly.
- Let's avoid the reports, okay?
- Sorry about that.
Officer Choi,
should we start our inspection?
No. Don't bother.
So Mr. Gang,
are things just about sorted out?
Yeah, sure.
And come visit our club
with your boys sometime.
Can't you make some time for a drink?
Well, I...
Anyway, I'll leave you in charge.
- And Mr. Gang.
- Yeah.
Keep it down next time, okay?
Okay.
- See you later.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Bye.
But Officer Choi,
how can we just leave?
If we stir things up here,
it'll just cause more trouble.
Come on.
Please show me your ID.
What the hell?
I said show me your ID.
- ID, my ass.
- What's with this guy?
- You wanna get pounded?
- Wait a second.
Mr. Gang.
- This guy here, he's new...
- Sheriff, Choi.
I'm really disappointed in you.
But he...
How are you training these kids?
- No, that's...
- What's going on here?
These dumb thugs scare you?
Why are you groveling?
- What was that?
- Wait.
- Wait, let me talk to him.
- Move!
Mr. Gang!
- What did you say now?
- My gosh.
"Why are you groveling?"
- Before that!
- Seriously.
"Do they scare you?"
Before that!
Wait, let me...
- Let me talk to him!
- Dumb thugs!
I can't believe this.
- What are you...
- You bastard.
On your knees!
Hold on. Let me...
Let go of me.
On your knees, bastard!
- Get over here!
- On your knees!
- Let go!
- Stop it.
- Let go! Mr. Gang!
- Look, blockhead.
You think we're just neighborhood punks?
You think we're pushovers?
Let go!
- Mr. Gang!
- Pick him up!
Let me go!
Why are you doing this?
Why am I doing this?
What are you looking at, huh?
What are you looking at!
You staring at me?
- Why are you doing this?
- You staring at me?
You staring at me?
You staring at me?
Go ahead, bastard. Go ahead!
Stare, you bastard! Go ahead!
Go ahead!
Officer, son of bitch?
Come on.
Take this, asshole.
Bastard!
- "Why are you doing this?"
- Why are you doing this?
Bastard!
Asshole!
Wipe it clean.
Wipe it clean, I said!
Spit-shine with your tongue.
What? Are they too dirty for you?
That's the way the world is.
If you push too hard, it breaks.
Let's have a drink tonight.
You...
have the right...
to remain silent.
You have the right to choose a lawyer...
What I think is wrong...
I can't fight.
They hit me.
That's wrong.
That's just wrong.
The fact that I can't fight...
that's what's so damn wrong!
What the hell?
What the hell is your problem?
Are you drunk?
Officer Yu.
- You can do better, right?
- Yes, sir!
Don't go around getting beat up.
Sorry, sir!
- Got it?
- Yes, sir!
- Come in early tomorrow!
- Goodnight, sir!
Courtesy!
What do you want?
Don't you remember me?
Good morning!
Yes, this yogurt...
I'm sorry, I was so thirsty...
I always hate it
when people steal our milk
from our front step.
I'm so sorry...
Last time, after the acupuncture,
I never got a chance to say thanks,
so I thought, gosh, I better visit,
but then I never got the chance.
But today I happened to be walking by,
and I was wondering if they're home.
So I stopped in.
So is everyone healthy,
wealthy, and happy?
What a cool place!
This is the altar of divinity.
If those who seek enlightenment
stand on this altar with a key,
the path to Nirvana opens.
I see.
Have you heard about Yongsan?
Yongsan Electronics Market?
Have a seat.
Yongsan is where the ch'i of the dragon
and the mountain intertwine.
I see.
But people who coveted
the powerful ch'i of this place
began building there indiscriminately,
until the very altar
was buried underground.
Fortunately, when the army headquarters
were rebuilt as a war memorial,
the remains of the altar were discovered.
Excavation has been going on for years.
Do you follow?
Well...
I didn't know
Tao masters trained in Yongsan.
It's not a training camp, it's an altar.
Sure, I got it.
Still...
You know... what I mean is...
- Yes.
- That's...
Well...
My, the tea's hot.
If I learn all that,
will I be a good fighter?
Hey.
We don't teach you how to brawl here.
What are you thinking?
What makes you think
this dork can become a Maruchi?
Your daughter has a sharp tongue.
- Master.
- Yes?
How much do you charge
to learn the Palm Blast?
Well,
it depends, I guess,
on the scale of the blast.
Don't you have anything else?
- Suit yourself.
- I mean...
You know how those people can work there?
Those are light-body skills.
Construction workers often practice those.
You remember the woman
who caught an armed bank robber?
A lot of people were stunned by that.
Where do you think she got the strength?
She's just an ordinary person.
Oh my...
Many skilled people
reach the state of mastery
without knowing.
There are countless masters today.
They've just adjusted to a changing world.
But most are Tao disciples
who fight against evil ch'i.
The Seven Masters seek
a leader among such people,
who can restore
the flow of pure ch'i to the world.
Then the Seven Masters
can't do Palm Blasts?
This is weird.
My goodness.
Is this it?
I think it's there.
Do I have to do this every day?
It's leaking a lot.
Seriously.
This is some crappy cement work.
They should talk
to whoever built this wall.
It's so damp down here.
Hey, come check this out.
- What is it?
- I hear something.
You hear it?
What's that?
Isn't this a little too much?
Couldn't we add a fried egg or something?
I'm not a rabbit,
how can I live off these plants?
A vegetarian diet is
an essential step for Tao training.
Isn't that common sense?
Okay, I'll give you that.
But my arms! They're all tied up!
Look at my arms!
Tao training is a form of study.
You can concentrate better
on an empty stomach.
You can only learn when you're desperate.
But why is it just me tied up
when you and this girl here...
Hey you!
You came here on your own to learn,
but you've got no respect.
Try behaving yourself.
Did you even finish high school?
I've got an associate's degree, you know.
- What?
- The fire went out.
Damn, I can't take this any more.
It's too much!
You tell me to clean, and I clean.
Now I'm doing laundry.
I even did headstands like you told me.
When are you going to
teach me the Palm Blast?
Look, boy!
Tao training is a form of study.
Forget study, when do I learn to fight?
If you want to learn to brawl,
go somewhere else!
Try boxing.
All right.
But still, isn't there any way
I can learn how to do the Palm Blast?
NO PALM BLASTS INDOORS
We'll need to examine more later,
but it looks like it dates back
at least to the Goryeo Dynasty.
And the shapes made of iron spikes?
We are investigating on it.
It looks like an indicator
of battle formations.
"Battle formations"?
During wars with Japan,
General Lee arranged
troops in a wing shape.
I'm sure you've heard of them.
These spikes indicate
the formation of soldiers.
Inspector,
a phone call for you.
The old man
discovered at the site has disappeared.
We need to make a profit
in order to contribute money.
Recently, the goods
I was supposed to send to Japan
are being held at customs,
and I can't do anything.
So first, bring over the goods.
That's right.
What? Yeah.
Just a second.
Go away. Oh, it's nothing.
I'll call you back in a second.
Are you crazy, old man?
What the hell?
Who the hell are you?
- Can't you go any cheaper?
- I can't.
- Could you?
- Go somewhere else.
All confrontations begin
and end with the eyes.
Like in The Art of War.
It's the best way to win
a confrontation without fighting.
Subdue your opponent with your eyes.
You think you'll get a discount
by staring at me like that?
You said you'd teach me,
but you haven't taught me anything.
Are you starving these days?
I'm not starving!
If it's too hard for you,
then look for another job.
You get beat up all the time,
and now you don't even eat?
How will you even find a wife?
I told you I'm not starving!
- When a man does important things...
- Dad's asleep, so be quiet.
Mom, you don't even know anything!
- Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
- I'm Kim Su-cheol of "Find the Master."
- I'm Kim Hyo-seon.
We have a big audience today, don't we?
- Yes.
- Good.
- Hyo-seon.
- Yes?
Have you heard that lately,
because of our program "Find the Master,"
many people visit the opthamologist?
Why is that?
Their eyes popped out in anticipation.
Demonstrations like these
used to be prohibited.
But young people
just have no interest in Tao,
so things changed.
These days you need to show them
for them to believe it.
We have two people.
Quite an unusual name, yes?
- Brother Yuk-bong.
- And Master Seol-un.
We'll invite them
on to the stage. Welcome!
They look impressive. Don't they?
Yes.
It's a great honor to have you here.
- Yes, nice to meet you.
- Thank you so much for joining us.
Wait a second. Oh my.
This is so heavy, are these rocks?
Oh, yes.
On crowded sidewalks,
I walk so fast
that I often bump into people.
I'm fine, but I worry
that I'll hurt people,
so I walk with these stones.
Oh, you must be really fast.
Then you must've come here
using the shukuchi technique.
I took the #77 bus.
Ah, yes.
Well, yes,
now that we got to hear about it,
and I'm quite curious,
and I'm sure our many guests
want to see it as well.
So let's see you perform.
A show of extraordinary force,
the very site of destruction!
After training in the mountains,
it may be intimidating to be on TV.
Let's give them a show of support!
- Stop it!
- Let go!
- How could this...
- Stop it.
Stop now!
- Let go! This can't be!
- Well, Master...
- It's over.
- Please calm down.
Well, I...
I'm sorry.
Let me put this in perspective.
The technique we've shown you
is extremely difficult.
For an ordinary person,
this is really hard to split.
Mom...
FIND THE MASTER
WHAT ARE THE SEAL FORMATIONS FOR?
You wanna die?
Sorry.
Be on time.
Gosh.
THE RULER OF THE LAND
Gosh.
She even reads martial arts comics.
Seriously.
What, she has makeup?
Does she use this stuff?
What is it?
What is this?
BEAUTY ACADEMY
What?
She wasn't bad-looking
in high school either.
"With my friends on my birthday."
Wait, it's on April 17?
Wait a second.
That's coming up soon.
Martial arts are for supressing violence,
for stopping conflict,
and for avoiding cruelty.
This is the truth
all martial arts aspire to.
Only the truly powerful
can defend by anticipating an opponent.
Let's see.
Try to hit Ui-jin.
The best defense is offense, of course.
Those who want self-control
must learn mind control.
To serve others, not to win,
is the true, unbreakable strength.
To achieve this,
you must renounce yourself.
What the heck?
Suppleness is to follow force.
To use the enemy's force to beat him.
One who follows force has no fear.
Merit is earned
by training without fakery.
Fist-fighting is refined and simple.
The changes are unpredictable,
so you must learn
to move your body freely.
The body and mind are one.
In order to control your mind,
you must control your body.
- Shut up and do it.
- I'm trying...
Hey, wait.
Wait.
I said wait!
- My gosh.
- It's too much.
Swiftness means fast, got it?
The fist has a shape,
but a punch does not.
In other words,
you gotta learn the laws of nature.
If I can be fast,
then that means
the things around me is slow.
Are you crazy?
- No, Mom!
- Have you gone crazy?
- Why are you hitting me?
- You're nuts!
Bravery is not to hesitate.
To move in when you see an opportunity.
Time seems to flow equally for everyone,
yet with concentration,
a fleeting moment
can stretch into eternity.
Slashing is to give damage
to others without mercy.
But if you can't control your emotions,
you might end up scarring yourself.
Wounds on the body may easily be healed,
but emotional scars
do not go away so easily.
Finally, truthfulness is
to strike and defend without deception.
Having reached
the point of truthful selflessness,
you eventually gain enlightenment.
What happens after enlightenment?
First learn what comes before, kid.
Hello?
Is this Seung-gu?
It's me, Sang-hwan.
Yeah, did all of you guys
get together tonight?
Hey, I'm done,
so I'll come over there now.
Oh, it's fine with me.
But, it's okay...
Oh, really?
Then I'll see you guys next time.
Okay, and give me a ring.
Anytime.
Yeah, sure.
Hey mister!
What are you doing, mister?
How can you just jaywalk like that,
It's not even four lanes,
it's an eight-lane road.
Mister, you may be busy, but still...
Show me your ID, please.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Officer Yu, servant to the public.
Mister...
Show me your ID, please.
Hey, look here mister!
Hey mister!
Gosh, mister. Stop there!
You over there!
You crazy idiot, what the hell?
Sir, are you hurt?
Why's he running away like that?
Where is he going?
My goodness.
What is he doing?
Well, I think I'm fine.
What an idiot.
What's this?
Hey you, stop!
Wait, I said stop!
What...
I can't believe it.
Now everyone knows us.
Tell me about it,
the manager was in a rage
over last week's show.
But I kept telling him,
splitting wood is not martial arts.
By the way,
should we contact another place?
I guess so. Gosh, it makes me nervous.
We're not some kind of traveling circus.
Huh?
That's a fearsome ch'i.
It can't be...
How did he get out...
Who is carrying the key?
Ever since we found them,
they have kept the exact same position.
Have they ever shown
this kind of symptom before?
All 72 meridian points have been blocked.
Yes?
Their ch'i has been corrupted.
I've been trying so hard,
why isn't there any big improvement?
This isn't a computer game,
this is for real.
Of course not, but...
That guy's light-body skills
were incredible.
Hey.
- How many times do I have to tell you?
- What?
When you really fight,
ch'i is what matters, not skills.
- I'm not talking about ch'i...
- You have to beat him with ch'i.
Yeah. I just don't have any confidence.
When somebody says, "Let's fight,"
then "Okay, but I may end up killing you."
- Do you learn this to kill somebody?
- That's...
Forget it.
- Hey!
- What now?
Here.
- What's this?
- It's your birthday.
How did you know?
I know everything.
I go by the lunar calendar.
Thanks anyway.
She is so cold.
Sang-hwan,
what the hell is this?
What?
Do cops enjoy spying on people?
Who told you to spy on me?
You're really overreacting.
I did this for you,
aren't you even thankful?
Just concentrate on your own life, okay?
Eat up.
Hey, what's up?
Are you buying me dinner now?
Mu-un said you drag your body around,
so he said to buy you
some meat for strength.
Oh!
Here.
What's this?
Mu-un said you've got nothing
but you're full of pride.
He said to look at this
when your temper flares up. Here.
Honestly, is it really from Mu-un?
What? You think it's from me?
Miss, our flame's out.
Can you change the fuel?
Don't bother her.
Can't you see she's busy?
You can't do that here.
It's okay.
Hey, can you do me a favor?
Is there any way
you can teach me this Palm Blast thing?
Get a grip, will you?
Gosh.
STUDENT ID
BEAUTY ACADEMY
Welcome to the world of fortune telling.
Curious about your future?
I'm not available to take your call.
So those in a hurry...
Banya isn't answering either.
Heuk-un must surely want the key?
What should we do?
Would you take it?
What are you talking about?
We should solve this together,
don't try to avoid it.
We will be overpowered.
To fight Heuk-un,
we need at least three of us.
I've carried the key too long,
waiting for a Maruchi.
But how's it any different
if I have the key?
Let's assume it's really Heuk-un.
He doesn't have true ch'i.
I know he has strong power,
but since we have true ch'i,
he can't beat us, can he?
Yuk-bong and Sul-un fell without a fight.
If we can awaken Sang-hwan's ch'i,
matters might be different.
Honestly, in my opinion...
I don't think
Sang-hwan can become a Maruchi.
I have no confidence in him.
Destiny can be made.
It's a matter of will.
That punk's will is...
Where is he?
Let's have some meat.
That punk!
Here. I'll be right back, boss.
It's so great eating meat after so long.
Who do we have here?
Isn't it our brave police officer?
You have time to date
despite your busy police work?
Are these the guys?
Huh?
Hey mister.
I got no business with you today.
Why don't you sit down and eat?
Oh, sir! I am almost scared to death now.
You're lucky to have a man like him.
Such courage, huh?
Hey, say it again.
- Damn!
- Sit down!
What?
What are you staring at?
Acting like a man in front of your babe?
What are you gonna do?
Don't worry, we know them. Go on.
Do you really wanna fight with me?
Sit down and drink.
I'm going crazy here.
And if I want to?
If I'm not careful,
I may end up killing you.
Stop!
You're really talking nonsense here.
- What are they doing?
- What to do with this little brat?
Boss, what do we do with him?
He seems to be ignorant of manners.
Teach him what manners are about.
Did you hear?
Sang-hwan!
You bastard!
Hey!
You son of a bitch!
You stupid bastard!
- Stay away!
- Stay away!
Have a drink?
Move!
You bastard!
You son of a bitch!
Boss, are you okay?
Let go, bastard!
You...
Boss!
You have the right to refuse
to make self-incriminating statements.
Stop!
You have the right to an attorney.
- You have the right to remain silent.
- What the hell are you doing here?
What?
You bitch!
- Damn it!
- Get over here!
Let go!
What did I do wrong?
Okay, I screwed up.
Let's drop it now, huh?
Didn't you teach me that crap
so I can beat up bad guys?
Look, you listen carefully.
Some people dedicate
their lives to that crap.
We're not trying
to help you relieve your stress.
Hey.
Then what about me?
Do I look like I'm here
because I want to be?
- So do you feel better now?
- I feel great.
Yeah, you beat up those guys
like you wanted.
Since we have nothing left for each other,
let's just split up
before things deteriorate.
And who was the one that started all this?
I have no reason to see you anymore.
And if you need to win so badly,
try winning over yourself first.
- You can't even control your own self.
- Ui-jin!
Yeah?
I don't need you anymore. I'm leaving.
Sure, I can't do anything right.
But damn, the more I think of it,
the angrier I get!
Hey, seriously.
What did I do wrong? Where are you?
Hey!
They started the whole thing!
What did I do wrong?
Who are you, mister?
Did you come here to study, too?
Wait a second, you're that jaywalker...
I said, where is Mu-un?
I told you he went to the mountains.
He won't come back for a while.
That's not the answer I want.
Wait.
What are you doing here? This guy here...
Sang-hwan, don't.
We're no match for his ch'i.
What are you doing?
Who are you?
I ask the questions.
Move!
Ui-jin!
Sang-hwan!
You should not point
a sword at just anyone.
Stop!
Stop this right now!
Have you lost all decency?
Doing this to young kids?
Please, no more killing.
I want the key.
You monster!
You stay here.
Since he's wounded, this is our chance.
We aren't strong enough.
Nonsense!
It's too dangerous alone!
Sang-hwan!
Let's stop wasting time.
Give me the sealed key,
and the fight among the Seven Masters
won't be needed.
You don't understand, do you?
In this day and age,
even with the power of Arahan,
do you think you can rule the earth?
I...
just want to create order.
And what order is that?
I have learned just one truth.
Only a supreme power can guarantee peace.
You haven't learned
that power shifts with the wind.
You wretch!
- Master!
- Go back!
Master!
You'll feel better with some rest.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I shouldn't have challenged him.
It was unavoidable.
But was it you who wounded him?
No.
I think...
Sang-hwan used
the Sound Vibration technique on him.
Was that man...
one of the vanished Seven Masters?
LUMBER MILL
We have long called
enlightened male masters Maruchi,
and women masters Arachi.
Maruchi and Arachi,
between mortals and the enlightened,
were entrusted with the key
to attain the state of Arahan.
Arahan is an enlightened state
when one has nothing more to learn.
To be enlightened
on the principles of all creation,
also means you have
the power to rule over the world.
Such a power is highly desirable
despite having to make big sacrifices,
so the Seven Masters
kept it a secret from everyone else.
The man who struck Mu-un is
one of those Seven Masters.
Long ago,
a man who betrayed heaven
almost got the key.
People realized
that when a corrupt man
seized hold of the key,
unstoppable chaos
and evil would spread as a result.
Ceaseless greed made
children to kill their own parents,
and brothers to kill each other.
And yet the enlightened masters
could not intervene in the world
since it was going against
the law of nature.
They wanted humans
to establish order on their own.
Ordinary humans failed
in their quest for peace.
Hearing the cries of an orphaned child,
Heuk-un broke the covenant
and rushed to intervene.
Ultimately,
the flames of war consumed both worlds.
Seduced by the power of the sword,
Heuk-un lost his self-control.
Heuk-un quelled the world with force
and decided to become Arahan himself
so that he can bring order to chaos.
But the Masters knew
that Heuk-un, full of rage,
would only re-start
the cycle of terror and misery.
Until they could find a true Arahan,
they hid the key in their bodies,
and sealed Heuk-un underground.
But unable to cast off ambition,
Heuk-un endured in a wicked ch'i,
preserving his life
and returning to us now.
The weight
of the key's ch'i alone is so great
that no ordinary Tao disciple can bear it.
For me, the need to live and bear the key
was no ordinary burden.
Now it seems I must let go of this burden.
Welcome.
Pull over.
Ui-jin, I don't know what to say, but...
Yeah, same here.
Seeing what happened to Mu-un,
it made me think a lot.
- But now...
- I said pull over!
Go wherever you want.
Hey, Ui-jin!
Hey.
Have you gone mad?
He may just be another person to you,
but to me, he's a father.
Then what am I?
Sang-hwan,
don't you get it?
Do you still think
you can become a Maruchi?
If you're not joining in,
will you let go?
It was nice knowing you.
This is just too much.
It seems we both have a long ways to go.
Let's have some tea.
It must have been hard,
hiding it all this time.
I'm sorry,
but I don't have the key either.
What am I supposed to do?
Damn it!
Hey, wait up!
Excuse me.
My gosh.
First of all...
should we call the insurance company?
What do we do?
Ui-jin!
Your hand's bleeding!
Hold on, let go. Give me the glasses.
- Wait, okay.
- Let go!
You should calm down first.
Would you be able to calm down?
I know how you feel,
but this is what your training is for.
What?
You said to control your own self!
Hey...
Okay.
Let's not get worked up.
At times like this,
we should try thinking calmly.
That guy wants the key, right?
But your dad doesn't have it.
All the other masters
were eliminated because of it!
That's why there's hope.
Think about it.
He must think your father is
the last one who knows where it is.
Would he just kill off someone like that?
No way!
Nothing's going to happen, so don't worry.
Then where do we find him?
Now, that's a problem.
Are you going to keep talking nonsense?
Damn it!
I'm trying too.
Are you the only one with a temper?
This bugs the hell out of me,
I'm worried too!
If those who wish for enlightenment
get a key and stand on this altar,
the path to Nirvana opens.
Ui-jin...
Wasn't the key...
connected to this place?
The meridian points
in your body are blocked.
You'll die
unless I take emergency measures.
Don't be stubborn, surrender the key.
Freedom from attachment
means freedom from fear.
I'll take on Heuk-un,
you look for my father.
And then run far away.
- Wait, Ui-jin!
- I'll join you soon.
Cripes, she's got no sense of strategy.
I'm telling you,
girls should serve in the military too.
Jeez, are all museums this complicated?
Impressive that you found me, wench.
I know you've been out of touch,
but it's not nice
to call a lady a "wench," asshole!
Where is he?
Hey, you!
Concentrate.
Are you in the broadcasting room?
I don't know where I am, either.
Then how can I find you?
Heuk-un has corrupted my ch'i.
Don't just use your eyes to find me,
open your five senses.
Oh, darn.
Okay then. I'm not sure where you are,
but just stay there for now.
Damn it!
Is it this way?
Spread the ch'i around you.
Prepare for the attack!
Concentrate the ch'i
into a point of light!
Master!
Master.
Can you feel my ch'i?
Why'd you come here?
I'm telling you,
you have no sense of strategy.
- What?
- Hey, Jaywalker!
Cool, huh?
I'm the one you want.
Let's rumble.
Master Heuk-un.
Without renouncing attachment,
the key leads to self-destruction.
Times have changed.
Let's leave the key with these youngsters.
Depending on who uses a sword,
it can slaughter a pig,
or cut through the world.
Power comes to...
the man who can wield it.
Renounce all.
You have to renounce all.
The things we see
are just shadows of the things we can't.
Renounce all.
One who aspires to be a Maruchi
must renounce all his desires,
and the door to enlightenment will open.
Sang-hwan!
The moment you renounce yourself,
you feel a true freedom
that exists between earth and sky.
When sky, earth, and human become one,
that is when you can control gravity.
In the act of going,
you find understanding.
And in the constant practice,
you find enlightenment.
The moment that you command your ego,
the gate of Arachi's heart will open,
and you will become a Maruchi.
I'm so tired.
Hey mister!
My stomach hurts!
That key doesn't seem to fit you.
And you're in the wrong spot!
Tired already, mister?
Another round?
Give up now.
You've won for now, but know this.
Nature did not abandon the world,
it is the world that abandoned nature.
The Tao never abandoned people,
it was the people who abandoned Tao.
As long as there is a path,
there will always be someone
who wishes to take that path.
Ui-jin!
Hey, wake up!
- Ui-jin, bring me the dye.
- Yes.
Can you empty this?
Yes.
What? Boss!
I'll just run to the bank.
What? It's the police!
You guys are such a pain.
You're breaking my heart.
Who is he?
Freeze!
What?
Officer Bong.
Officer Bong!
Officer Bong!
Are you okay, Officer Bong?
Corporal Yu, I tried my...
Hey you!
When are you gonna learn
to shoot that Palm Blast?
Hey, let's see you shoot it
at a moving person!
Try doing it just like before. Look!
Look over there.
You shot at him, and what happened?
Haven't you learned...
- I was looking over here!
- Look what happened to Officer Bong!
You learned it way before me,
and you still can't do it right?
I usually do fine. You wanna see?
Anyone can do it in practice.
It's real situations that count.
That kid Sang-hwan called.
- There's going to be a crackdown today.
- A crackdown?
See you later, Dad!
Ui-jin, wait!
Is this place illegal?
Oh, don't worry.
We were recommended this place.
They're better than Hippocrates!
Sang-hwan gave us a call.
Anyway, go to the storehouse
and bring us back
some of the cheapest aphrodisiacs.
Jeez, I'm busy today!
Careful on your way home at night.
Do they do crackdowns every single day?
