Got a problem?
We just want to play a little...
What's going on?
What's it to you?
Why are you harassing the lady?
It's none of your fucking business.
Harassing? We're just talking.
Oh, well in that case....
In that case what?
Fucking ass-hole!
Next stop is Moon-soo-ri.
Stop right there!
Bastard, come here! Stop right there!
Il-san New Town.
Mom!
Mom, Where's 2nd brother
living these days?
How's 3rd brother doing?
Oh hey, your big brother's been
waiting for you since morning.
Didn't see him?
Don't move
Sergeant Kim speaking. Hello?
You're calling about a maid?
You've got the wrong number.
Gimme that.
Hello? Yes, that's correct.
I'll hurry on over.
You've been working as a maid?
You don't have to anymore.
I'm gonna earn a lot of money.
By the way,
a woman called you yesterday.
Who?
How should I know?
I wrote down her number.
Aren't I popular?
First day out of the army
and the girls are calling already.
No answer...
So... what's it like being back
in the world again?
Frustrating. Nothing for me to do.....
What about you?
I'm just busy trying to make a living.
The neighborhood's changed
so much around here.
It hurts just looking at all
these ugly high-rises.
Was there ever been anything else?
But still.....
Eggs! Eggs!
Come and get your eggs!
Fresh quality eggs have arrived!
Miae. Ml..... AE......
When will she be in?
I see. Would you please......
Brother!
Isn't this the land we used to own?
This place used to be covered
with acacias.
Think about how you're
going to make a living.
You ought to earn your own bread, now.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I will.
Hey! It's red light!
Shit. They're on me.
Pull over or,
you'll be in deeper shit.
Just shut up.
Egg truck to the right!
Egg truck pull over to the right!
Shit!
Pardon me, but you went
through a red light.
Please show me your driver's license.
Sorry sir.
Give us a break. Just this once.
Struggling to make ends meet......
You've gone through the light.
Your license, please.
Just this once, please!
You know what it's like.
Don't bullshit me.
A fine is a whole day's pay.
I don't sell enough eggs
in a whole day.
And actually, we're a family
of police officers.
My brother is a cop in Paju.
We should look after each other,
shouldn't we?
You look like a nice person......
Here's 5,000 Won.
Buy yourself a drink.
5,000 Won is all I've got right now.
Please, officer.
Just this once!
Hand it over.
Thank you.
I've got only 10,000 Won bill.
Can you give me 5,000 in change?
What? You don't have anything smaller?
Sorry, sir.
I'll need 5,000 for our lunch.
Let me see if there's change
in the car.
Thank you, sir.
Brother, look!
Goodness me, the bastard!
What for?
To get my 5000 Won back!
How? Just forget it!
He's not to rip me off.
That bastard is taking us
for a couple of fools!
- Just let them go
- no way
Hey, man!
Come back with my money!
You owe me change!
Makdong! Tell them to stop the car!
Hey, you!
- give my money back now!
- Hey!
They're not stopping.
Stop right now!...
- Stop the car!
- Give my money back!
Police car! To the right!
Police car! Pull over!
Give me that. Police car!
To the right! Pull over!
Hey, run faster!
Push that
Go faster!
I'm back!
You're late!
They kept me a while.
Greetings, gentlemen.
Did you all miss me?
Shit!
Hey, stop!
Hey, Soonok! Stop right there!
What are you running for?
Yeah. Why should I run?
I've done nothing wrong.
Look at yourself!
Let me go.
When did you get out
of the army, brother.?
How did you know I was here, anyway?
Do you have to do this?
Don't tell mother.
She thinks that
I'm working in a factory.
I'm gonna earn us enough money.
No need to do this sort
of work anymore.
You think making money is easy?
Let's go.
Here, take this.
Don't need it.
Take it. I know you're a bit short.
Pay me back later.
I'll pay you back.
Really?
Sure, I will.
Hello? News Nightclub? ls Miae there?
When will she be in?

What the hell are you doing?
There are cars to be parked.
Your keys, please.
We keep our keys.
I'm supposed to take everyone's keys!
Shithead, I just told you

Let them go! They're O.K.
Hey, you. Come here!

I said ''Come here!''
Got a light?
Hey, come here,

''A bad son I've been to the mother
who raised me.''
your singing was really good...
Sir. Sir, your singing....
I see you tried really hard there.
Sir, may I have pour you a drink?
Why, thank you.
Your singing is so lousy, sir.
You have no sense of rhythm.
What? I gave it my best.
What was wrong with it?
ln the future, try not to sing at all.
O.K. whatever.
But really, buddy, how have you got
away singing so badly?
Don't worry. I won't sing anymore.
Promise? Can I trust you?
What are you?
I promise. I shall never sing again.
Don't even think about singing again,
you son of a bitch!
What? You fucking dickhead!
Don't you ever sing again.
Ever! You fucking asshole!
Crazy mother fucker!
What's this? Who did this to you?
Well, if it isn't good old Mr. Oh.
This is a trick! You bastards!
What happened to your hand?
Ah...!
Hi! Do sit down.
- How's your hand?
- It's alright.
Alright? You broke a perfectly
good finger, you damn fool.
Here. have a drink.
Young kids have a way of
abusing their bodies.
Don't do such foolish things anymore.
You got that?
He's a brave little rascal.
Thanks to you
everything's gonna work out.
He was trying to keep us
from rebuilding on our site,
but now he's willing to deal.
He'll do anything to keep it off his
record as he is running for City Council.
You said your name was Makdong?
Yes.
From now on call me Big Brother.
You're my brother from now on.
my youngest brother
How old are you?
Twenty six.
Then what year were you born in?
The year of the Pig.
Hey Pansu! What's your sign?
My sign? lf you don't mind....
Your sign. Tell us.
Really, Big Brother,
I'd rather you not ask.
It's a secret.
A secret?
What's your sign? Come on.
Big Brother,
why are you doing this to me?
You don't even know what
I'm talking about, do you?
Let him go, Big Brother.
No one ever taught you about signs.
That's it, isn't it.
Big Brother, I think you're
giving him speciaI treatment.
We don't know anything about him.
lt was a year before you
let us call you Brother.
Come here.
You, Good-for-nothing!
I apologize, Big Brother.
I make the decisions around here,
you damn scumbag.
I'm sorry, Big Brother.
Makdong is a member of the family, now.
Yes, Big Brother.
I take care of my family.
Makdong, from now on,
don't go to work at the lot.
O.K.
There's some trouble inside.
The manager wants to see you inside.
She says she won't
sing 'till they stop.
She won't even move.
Can you get her down, please?
It's only because of Bae Taegon that
I don't drag her down myself.
Who was it?
Who was hasteling the lady
while she's singing?
i am
Just look at the drunken bitch.
You call this entertainment?
Fuck! Come on!
Shall we go?
- Hey, Makdong.
- Yes?
You like your job?
Do you actually like working
for Bae Taegon?
What happened to your hand?
I just hurt myself.
Wouldn't you get into trouble being
drunk while on duty?
Don't you worry about it.
Have you eaten?
Let me treat you to something nice.
Shouldn't we go your home first
so I can say hello to your wife?
What? Yeah, suppose we should.
Weren't we going your home?
This is where I live.
Give us the best meat you have.
Give us some beer too.
What do you think about us
all living together again?
Just like when father was around!
Grow up, will you!What's the point?
How would make a living?
We could run a restaurant or a factory.
I thought a lot about it in the army.
That kind of work isn't for everyone.
Don't you have anything cold?
No way! You're not
to drink here,detective.
Go somewhere else!
What's the problem?
I brought a speciaI guest today.
That's too bad. You'll have to leave.
Stop joking around.
I'm not joking.
Come and clear this table!
Wanna make a scene again?
Go ahead and wreck the
place like the last time.
Why can't you? I said ''Go ahead''
Why are you doing this?
Ask him why I'm doing this.
Sorry about this. Let's just go.
Brother!
brother!
Turn right up here.
Wait here.
Big Brother!
Big Brother!
- big brother!
- I'm in here.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
What would you like to eat?
Fried rice. Excuse me,
one serve of Fried rice, please.
Makdong, I tell you a story.
Once upon a time
there was a poor little boy.
Didn't have any schooling or family.
One day he was so starving hungry
he broke into a little cafe.
He was stuffing his face
when the owner discovered him.
That was the first time he went to jail.
You know where it happened?
lt was right here.
Can you guess what happened
to that little boy?
Now, he holds the permit
to rebuild this place.
It's going to be a fine building.
On the way to jaiI he said to himself,
''You fucking bastards,
I will come back and show you one day''
What is your dream, Makdong?
well...
- Big Brother
- Someone's looking for me?
Hey, Viet Cong!
Who the hell is it?
Never seen him before.
Looks like you're doing O.K.
for yourself.
His skin used to be as dark
as the damn Viet Cong.
He had Viet Cong manners, too.
He survived on this scene
on pure guts alone.
- Do you want us to just do them?
- No. Wait.
Big Brother, long time no see?
'Big Brother?'. That sounds odd.
You didn't even visit me in prison.
Just busy trying to make a living.
Ya, I heard about
your business ventures.
What happened to your girlie business?
Now that you're out, let me know
if there's any way I can help you.
I'm gonna open up
a nightclub across the street.
You can help out.
Rumor has it you rule the neighborhood.
There was this puppy of mine
that I used to kick all the time.
He grew up to be this big.
And yet he was still afraid of me.
Wanna know why?
Whenever I lifted my foot
it still looked this big to him.
Bye there. See you again.
You know what I had to do
to get where I am?
lt took ten years to get this far.
Ten years of war!
Now this bastard Kim Yangkil,
no sooner he's out,
he wants to take over.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
I shouldn't bother you
with my troubles at your own party.
Congratulations on you promotion.
You deserved it.
What'd you mean? lt took me 30 years.
Nothing to be proud of.
But that's a big promotion!
After all these years in the
police force, do you feeI empty?
What's with you?
Sing for us or something!
Call the band.
Forget the band. Let's talk quietly.
Leave us for a minute.
brother! big brother!
I just want to be dead.
My wife's having an affair.
You see, we've been together for 20 years.
And yet how can she do this to me?
Dig properly! Come on, hurry up!
hurry up!
O.K. That's enough!
Now take off your clothes.
Off with your fucking clothes! Now!
Oh, God save me, save me.
Oh, God. God.
- Take it off,
- Take it off, quickly
Fine looking body, eh?
You scumbag!
Don't kill me! Please!
Come on, you little weasel!
You're a church deacon, aren't you?
That's right.
How long have you been a deacon?
About ten years.
Deacons shall not covet
another man's wife.
I'm sorry, I really am.
I deserve to die.
Then die you shall!
Please! I beg you. Oh, Heavenly Father!
It's not you that's sinned.
It's junior here. This little sinner.
this is the problem
Stay still! We're doing this
for your own good.
This little rascaI has made you sin
against your 'Heavenly Father'
don't move
You fucking bastard!

You seem like someone
still pure and naive.
Who's this?
My father.
You look just like him!
Where's this?
That's our house.
What a massive tree!
lt doesn't look like that anymore.
Can I have this one?
I want to keep it.
lf you like.
Have you ever loved a woman, Makdong?
Never?
not even once?
No, never.
At your age you've never
had a girlfriend?
Have you ever kissed a
woman?
It's okay, you can tell me.
Not properly.
Properly? Want me to teach you?
He says to come back immediately.
What do you want to do?
I'm going to do whatever you decide.
Are we going back or not?
Come on, what?
We got to go if Big Brother
wants us back up there.
We got to go.
Yep. ''lf Big Brother says so!''
Let's go!
Did you go for another
one of your train rides?
Why do you bother to go
if you're just gonna come back?
You can never leave me. You know that.
- I bought you a present.
- What is it?
A dress.
Try it on.
Later.
Try it on, it was expensive.
I don't want to!
- try it
- no
I'm sorry I made you this way.
You know that I love you.
Big Brother. lf it's okay with you,
I'd like to go home for a few days.
ls anything wrong?
Tomorrow is my mother's birthday.
I see.
Here, buy her something nice.
- That's very kind, but.....
- Take it, you fool.
Thank you.
Mom!
Do you always have to be late?
There was a lot of traffic.
Where should I sit?
Are we forgetting anything?
okay now, take down your pants
okay, i will do it for you
Here, have a drink.
Let me pour you one, too.
What's with you?
That's enough of the drink.
Give me a break.
Gatherings like this
aren't the same without a good beer.
You've had enough already.
What's gotten into you, woman?
Do you have to nag me
when the whole family's together?
Just the other night you knelt
before our child and promised
never to touch alcohoI again!
Wanna a helt?
Go ahead, hit me.
ln front of the whole family.
Go ahead hit me.
So mother, this is my life.
Every day is like this.
I'm sorry darling. Can you forgive me?
Get away from me!
Come on....
- And now for a song.
- Cut it out, brother.
I don't know
why I'm doing like this.
I don't know on earth
why I'm doing like this.
I cannot say exactly
why I'm doing....
What's this? What a mess!
What a fucking mess!
Why do you bother to live?
What the fuck are you doing?
Am I wrong? Just look at him.
You call that a life?
You're no better!
How could you! On a day like this.
How could you!
What about you?
You're all fucked up, too.
I'll fucking kill you.
Please let it go, please.
this is too much!
how could your guys doing like this day?
Bastard! Do you think
you are superior than me?
Did you see something?
You'd better learn manner.
Hey watch out!
I'm sorry.
No, a girl with
a fat pumpkin-like face
Brother, brother, brother, brother,
Hey, why don't you go home!
Brother, brother, brother, brother,
what the fuck are you?
Dongju, do you think
we're a bunch of gangsters?
Answer me! Are we gangsters or not?
No.
Then?
Sorry. Big Brother
Clench your teeth!
You bunch of hoodlums and gangsters.
You still don't know who I am.
I am Bae Taegon!
Big Brother, why do we have to let
Kim Yangkil treat us like this?
Shouldn't we get rid of him
before too late?
That's the only way we can survive.
What do you know about life?
Tell me you dickhead.
What do you know about life?
Obviously not as much as you,
Big Brother.
They're a bunch of scumbags!
I know Kim Yangkil.
I'm going to deal with him my way.
You got that?
Now, go and get some drink.
- Room 503.
- 503?
Think you can remember?
Stupid as you are?
Fuck off!
I did exactly as the bastard asked.
Like an obedient little day.
Aren't I a good girl?
Get in. You're drunk.
Yes, I'm drunk.
He kept making me drink.
You know what he said?
He said Kim Yangkil and Bae Taegon
are both the same shit.
Pretty smart for a prosecutor!
- I said get in!
- Let go! I hate you!
I'm don't wanna ride with you.
I am sorry baby
Here, you ride alone.
I won't with you.
I don't want any, you shithead.
I'll be going now.
Going?
Come here.
You want to have me, don't you.
Just say it.
Anyone can have it for the asking.
Come on,
just say that.
lie down
Right now
my body is very...dirty.
But you know that, right?
- Makdong!
- Yes, Big Brother.
What's wrong with you tonight?
Has anything happened?
Nothing's wrong, Big Brother.
- Ah, Fuck!
- Don't!
Get the car out!
Don't!
Hey, Mr. Viet Cong. Kim Yangkil
sends his greetings.
You fucking asshole, come out!
I've been busy since
you came out of prison.
Forgive me, Big Brother.
It seems that the boys
have had a little fight.
I will make sure
they are educated properly.
Ya, I understand.
Amongst dogs there are some mongrels
that think they're pure breeds
There's only one way to deal
with that kind of mongrel.
That is, he has to be
taught his place.
drink it!
What did you say
your dream in life was?
To live with my family and run
a small restaurant together again.
How beautiful.
My dreams are what
got me this far in life.
But I've paid my dues.
- By the way, Sir...
- What?
- Your fly is undone.
- You little...
Really. Your zipper's undone.
Big Brother. There's a call for you.
Off with the music! Now!
Hello! Mom! Hello!
Is that you Big brother?
It's me Makdong. Where's mom?
I'm fine.
Don't hang up! Don't hang up!
Do you remember the red bridge?
The red steel bridge?
We used to go fishing
under that bridge, remember?
One day I was trying to catch
one of those green-colored fish
and lost my slippers
own the stream. Remember?
Soonok, that silly girl,
got stung by a bee on the bum
and ended up with 3 cheeks
that day, remember?
Big Brother!
do you remember at that time?
remember those days?
Sir...
Have you eaten?
No. But I'm fine.
How old did you say you were?
Twenty six.

Dog soup!
How about chicken soup then?
We have real free-range.
Really?
Sure. You can watch us
catch one if you like.
We don't need to see for ourselves
Come watch.
"Seeing is believing" you know.
Should we have the chicken?
Alright.
Chicken for two?
- Oh, that's a good one.
- Isn't it?
jesus...
I'll take it, Big brother.
Go on, children! Play outside!
What made you take
so long at the market?
So what?
Where were you doing all that time?
Now what?
Did you enjoy the chicken soup?
Yes, it was delicious.
Do you live
in the new apartment complex?
We moved here just recently.
Stop by often.
We'd love to have you, back.
That's neat the way you put all
those old pictures together.
You like it?
It's a good idea.
Thank you.
Bye.
Haven't we met somewhere before?
I don't think so.
What did you do before?
I was a public servant.
It's just that you look familiar.
Bye.
Thank you. Bye!

You've been working as a maid?
You don't have to anymore.
I'm gonna earn a lot of money.
By the way,
a woman called you yesterday.
Who?
How should I know?
I wrote down her number.
Aren't I popular?
First day out of the army
and the girls are calling already.
No answer...
So... what's it like being back
in the world again?
Frustrating. Nothing for me to do.....
What about you?
I'm just busy trying to make a living.
The neighborhood's changed
so much around here.
It hurts just looking at all
these ugly high-rises.
Was there ever been anything else?
But still.....
Eggs! Eggs!
Come and get your eggs!
Fresh quality eggs have arrived!
Miae. Ml..... AE......
When will she be in?
I see. Would you please......
Brother!
Isn't this the land we used to own?
This place used to be covered
with acacias.
Think about how you're
going to make a living.
You ought to earn your own bread, now.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I will.
Hey! It's red light!
Shit. They're on me.
Pull over or,
you'll be in deeper shit.
Just shut up.
Egg truck to the right!
Egg truck pull over to the right!
Shit!
Pardon me, but you went
through a red light.
Please show me your driver's license.
Sorry sir.
Give us a break. Just this once.
Struggling to make ends meet......
You've gone through the light.
Your license, please.
Just this once, please!
You know what it's like.
Don't bullshit me.
A fine is a whole day's pay.
I don't sell enough eggs
in a whole day.
And actually, we're a family
of police officers.
My brother is a cop in Paju.
We should look after each other,
shouldn't we?
You look like a nice person......
Here's 5,000 Won.
Buy yourself a drink.
5,000 Won is all I've got right now.
Please, officer.
Just this once!
Hand it over.
Thank you.
I've got only 10,000 Won bill.
Can you give me 5,000 in change?
What? You don't have anything smaller?
Sorry, sir.
I'll need 5,000 for our lunch.
Let me see if there's change
in the car.
Thank you, sir.
Brother, look!
Goodness me, the bastard!
What for?
To get my 5000 Won back!
How? Just forget it!
He's not to rip me off.
That bastard is taking us
for a couple of fools!
- Just let them go
- no way
Hey, man!
Come back with my money!
You owe me change!
Makdong! Tell them to stop the car!
Hey, you!
- give my money back now!
- Hey!
They're not stopping.
Stop right now!...
- Stop the car!
- Give my money back!
Police car! To the right!
Police car! Pull over!
Give me that. Police car!
To the right! Pull over!
Hey, run faster!
Push that
Go faster!
I'm back!
You're late!
They kept me a while.
Greetings, gentlemen.
Did you all miss me?
Shit!
Hey, stop!
Hey, Soonok! Stop right there!
What are you running for?
Yeah. Why should I run?
I've done nothing wrong.
Look at yourself!
Let me go.
When did you get out
of the army, brother.?
How did you know I was here, anyway?
Do you have to do this?
Don't tell mother.
She thinks that
I'm working in a factory.
I'm gonna earn us enough money.
No need to do this sort
of work anymore.
You think making money is easy?
Let's go.
Here, take this.
Don't need it.
Take it. I know you're a bit short.
Pay me back later.
I'll pay you back.
Really?
Sure, I will.
Hello? News Nightclub? ls Miae there?
When will she be in?
Welcome, welcome to 'The News',
the best spot in Town.
Welcome! welcome!
Are you alone?
Welcome!

This is for your last life.
Only for love. You love me.
All I have is your heart.
Please leave me.
Hey wait!
You lost this.

You lost something too. Your bag.
I found your phone number in your bag.
Here you are.
Keep it. Take it a present.
Come on. I'll buy you a drink.
Hey! Where're you going?
Shall we go?

Don't come to bother me!
Big Brother is calling you.

Let go of me, you pathetic shit!
You know you shouldn't.

That's right! My new boyfriend.
I like young ones.
Cut it out! Now let's go!
Told you I'm not coming!
You heard the woman, leave her alone!

What do you want to do?
What do you want to be

What are you!
Never done anything and

Haven't you got any ambitions,
young punk?
Not that philosophy shit again!
Don't listen to him. It's full of shit.
Can you drive?
I got my licence

Take good care of my new boyfriend!
- Time's up.
- What?
Conversation's over,
shit-for-brains. Get out.
Bye there handsome!
Mom!
How do you know Bae Taegon?
He's sort of an acquaintance.
Hello there!
Did you leave the key
in the ignition?
What the hell are you doing?
There are cars to be parked.
Your keys, please.
We keep our keys.
I'm supposed to take everyone's keys!
Shithead, I just told you
we don't leave the keys.
Give them here, please.
Let them go! They're O.K.
Hey, you. Come here!
Me?
I said ''Come here!''
Got a light?
Hey, come here,
i am talking to you, come
- What for?
- Remember me?
Sure, I do.
Then why don't you show some respect,
you fucking idiot?
You don't deserve any. Not from me.
What'd you say? Get over here!!
You fucking arsehole!
I said get over.
Ah, fuck!
Get your fucking arse over here!
Watch your filthy mouth,

What'd you say?
What's this?
Come here! You all come here!
Consider you ass lucky,

Why you little... Brother!
Why are we buying him a drink?

Stop it! Sit your ass down!
Good afternoon, Big Brother.

Hey, turn on some music!
Come in.

He never messes in anything shady.
Wanna make some money?

Mom? it's me, Makdong.
I'm in Seoul. Yes, good.
Yes, I've got a fine job.
Don't worry, Mom.
Has big brother gone to bed?
I said I'm O.K. Fine, fine.
Bye, Mom. Good night, Mom.
Even if I tried to call my mom,
who cannot comeback to me.
I called my mom
with regret and sorrow, and I'm crying
My mom who cannot be come back!
''A bad son I've been to the mother
who raised me.''
your singing was really good...
Sir. Sir, your singing....
I see you tried really hard there.
Sir, may I have pour you a drink?
Why, thank you.
Your singing is so lousy, sir.
You have no sense of rhythm.
What? I gave it my best.
What was wrong with it?
ln the future, try not to sing at all.
O.K. whatever.
But really, buddy, how have you got
away singing so badly?
Don't worry. I won't sing anymore.
Promise? Can I trust you?
What are you?
I promise. I shall never sing again.
Don't even think about singing again,
you son of a bitch!
What? You fucking dickhead!
Don't you ever sing again.
Ever! You fucking asshole!
Crazy mother fucker!
What's this? Who did this to you?
Well, if it isn't good old Mr. Oh.
This is a trick! You bastards!
What happened to your hand?
Ah...!
Hi! Do sit down.
- How's your hand?
- It's alright.
Alright? You broke a perfectly
good finger, you damn fool.
Here. have a drink.
Young kids have a way of
abusing their bodies.
Don't do such foolish things anymore.
You got that?
He's a brave little rascal.
Thanks to you
everything's gonna work out.
He was trying to keep us
from rebuilding on our site,
but now he's willing to deal.
He'll do anything to keep it off his
record as he is running for City Council.
You said your name was Makdong?
Yes.
From now on call me Big Brother.
You're my brother from now on.
my youngest brother
How old are you?
Twenty six.
Then what year were you born in?
The year of the Pig.
Hey Pansu! What's your sign?
My sign? lf you don't mind....
Your sign. Tell us.
Really, Big Brother,
I'd rather you not ask.
It's a secret.
A secret?
What's your sign? Come on.
Big Brother,
why are you doing this to me?
You don't even know what
I'm talking about, do you?
Let him go, Big Brother.
No one ever taught you about signs.
That's it, isn't it.
Big Brother, I think you're
giving him speciaI treatment.
We don't know anything about him.
lt was a year before you
let us call you Brother.
Come here.
You, Good-for-nothing!
I apologize, Big Brother.
I make the decisions around here,
you damn scumbag.
I'm sorry, Big Brother.
Makdong is a member of the family, now.
Yes, Big Brother.
I take care of my family.
Makdong, from now on,
don't go to work at the lot.
O.K.
There's some trouble inside.
The manager wants to see you inside.
She says she won't
sing 'till they stop.
She won't even move.
Can you get her down, please?
It's only because of Bae Taegon that
I don't drag her down myself.
Who was it?
Who was hasteling the lady
while she's singing?
i am
Just look at the drunken bitch.
You call this entertainment?
Fuck! Come on!
Shall we go?
- Hey, Makdong.
- Yes?
You like your job?
Do you actually like working
for Bae Taegon?
What happened to your hand?
I just hurt myself.
Wouldn't you get into trouble being
drunk while on duty?
Don't you worry about it.
Have you eaten?
Let me treat you to something nice.
Shouldn't we go your home first
so I can say hello to your wife?
What? Yeah, suppose we should.
Weren't we going your home?
This is where I live.
Give us the best meat you have.
Give us some beer too.
What do you think about us
all living together again?
Just like when father was around!
Grow up, will you!What's the point?
How would make a living?
We could run a restaurant or a factory.
I thought a lot about it in the army.
That kind of work isn't for everyone.
Don't you have anything cold?
No way! You're not
to drink here,detective.
Go somewhere else!
What's the problem?
I brought a speciaI guest today.
That's too bad. You'll have to leave.
Stop joking around.
I'm not joking.
Come and clear this table!
Wanna make a scene again?
Go ahead and wreck the
place like the last time.
Why can't you? I said ''Go ahead''
Why are you doing this?
Ask him why I'm doing this.
Sorry about this. Let's just go.
Brother!
brother!
Turn right up here.
Wait here.
Big Brother!
Big Brother!
- big brother!
- I'm in here.
Come on in.
Have a seat.
What would you like to eat?
Fried rice. Excuse me,
one serve of Fried rice, please.
Makdong, I tell you a story.
Once upon a time
there was a poor little boy.
Didn't have any schooling or family.
One day he was so starving hungry
he broke into a little cafe.
He was stuffing his face
when the owner discovered him.
That was the first time he went to jail.
You know where it happened?
lt was right here.
Can you guess what happened
to that little boy?
Now, he holds the permit
to rebuild this place.
It's going to be a fine building.
On the way to jaiI he said to himself,
''You fucking bastards,
I will come back and show you one day''
What is your dream, Makdong?
well...
- Big Brother
- Someone's looking for me?
Hey, Viet Cong!
Who the hell is it?
Never seen him before.
Looks like you're doing O.K.
for yourself.
His skin used to be as dark
as the damn Viet Cong.
He had Viet Cong manners, too.
He survived on this scene
on pure guts alone.
- Do you want us to just do them?
- No. Wait.
Big Brother, long time no see?
'Big Brother?'. That sounds odd.
You didn't even visit me in prison.
Just busy trying to make a living.
Ya, I heard about
your business ventures.
What happened to your girlie business?
Now that you're out, let me know
if there's any way I can help you.
I'm gonna open up
a nightclub across the street.
You can help out.
Rumor has it you rule the neighborhood.
There was this puppy of mine
that I used to kick all the time.
He grew up to be this big.
And yet he was still afraid of me.
Wanna know why?
Whenever I lifted my foot
it still looked this big to him.
Bye there. See you again.
You know what I had to do
to get where I am?
lt took ten years to get this far.
Ten years of war!
Now this bastard Kim Yangkil,
no sooner he's out,
he wants to take over.
Sorry, Lieutenant.
I shouldn't bother you
with my troubles at your own party.
Congratulations on you promotion.
You deserved it.
What'd you mean? lt took me 30 years.
Nothing to be proud of.
But that's a big promotion!
After all these years in the
police force, do you feeI empty?
What's with you?
Sing for us or something!
Call the band.
Forget the band. Let's talk quietly.
Leave us for a minute.
brother! big brother!
I just want to be dead.
My wife's having an affair.
You see, we've been together for 20 years.
And yet how can she do this to me?
Dig properly! Come on, hurry up!
hurry up!
O.K. That's enough!
Now take off your clothes.
Off with your fucking clothes! Now!
Oh, God save me, save me.
Oh, God. God.
- Take it off,
- Take it off, quickly
Fine looking body, eh?
You scumbag!
Don't kill me! Please!
Come on, you little weasel!
You're a church deacon, aren't you?
That's right.
How long have you been a deacon?
About ten years.
Deacons shall not covet
another man's wife.
I'm sorry, I really am.
I deserve to die.
Then die you shall!
Please! I beg you. Oh, Heavenly Father!
It's not you that's sinned.
It's junior here. This little sinner.
this is the problem
Stay still! We're doing this
for your own good.
This little rascaI has made you sin
against your 'Heavenly Father'

You fucking bastard!

Who's this?
My father.
You look just like him!
Where's this?
That's our house.
What a massive tree!
lt doesn't look like that anymore.
Can I have this one?
I want to keep it.
lf you like.
Have you ever loved a woman, Makdong?
Never?
not even once?
No, never.
At your age you've never
had a girlfriend?
Have you ever kissed a
woman?
It's okay, you can tell me.
Not properly.
Properly? Want me to teach you?
He says to come back immediately.
What do you want to do?
I'm going to do whatever you decide.
Are we going back or not?
Come on, what?
We got to go if Big Brother
wants us back up there.
We got to go.
Yep. ''lf Big Brother says so!''
Let's go!
Did you go for another
one of your train rides?
Why do you bother to go
if you're just gonna come back?
You can never leave me. You know that.
- I bought you a present.
- What is it?
A dress.
Try it on.
Later.
Try it on, it was expensive.
I don't want to!
- try it
- no
I'm sorry I made you this way.
You know that I love you.
Big Brother. lf it's okay with you,
I'd like to go home for a few days.
ls anything wrong?
Tomorrow is my mother's birthday.
I see.
Here, buy her something nice.
- That's very kind, but.....
- Take it, you fool.
Thank you.
Mom!
Do you always have to be late?
There was a lot of traffic.
Where should I sit?
Are we forgetting anything?
okay now, take down your pants
okay, i will do it for you
Here, have a drink.
Let me pour you one, too.
What's with you?
That's enough of the drink.
Give me a break.
Gatherings like this
aren't the same without a good beer.
You've had enough already.
What's gotten into you, woman?
Do you have to nag me
when the whole family's together?
Just the other night you knelt
before our child and promised
never to touch alcohoI again!
Wanna a helt?
Go ahead, hit me.
ln front of the whole family.
Go ahead hit me.
So mother, this is my life.
Every day is like this.
I'm sorry darling. Can you forgive me?
Get away from me!
Come on....
- And now for a song.
- Cut it out, brother.
I don't know
why I'm doing like this.
I don't know on earth
why I'm doing like this.
I cannot say exactly
why I'm doing....
What's this? What a mess!
What a fucking mess!
Why do you bother to live?
What the fuck are you doing?
Am I wrong? Just look at him.
You call that a life?
You're no better!
How could you! On a day like this.
How could you!
What about you?
You're all fucked up, too.
I'll fucking kill you.
Please let it go, please.
this is too much!
how could your guys doing like this day?
Bastard! Do you think
you are superior than me?
Did you see something?
You'd better learn manner.
Hey watch out!
I'm sorry.
No, a girl with
a fat pumpkin-like face
Brother, brother, brother, brother,
Hey, why don't you go home!
Brother, brother, brother, brother,
what the fuck are you?
Dongju, do you think
we're a bunch of gangsters?
Answer me! Are we gangsters or not?
No.
Then?
Sorry. Big Brother
Clench your teeth!
You bunch of hoodlums and gangsters.
You still don't know who I am.
I am Bae Taegon!
Big Brother, why do we have to let
Kim Yangkil treat us like this?
Shouldn't we get rid of him
before too late?
That's the only way we can survive.
What do you know about life?
Tell me you dickhead.
What do you know about life?
Obviously not as much as you,
Big Brother.
They're a bunch of scumbags!
I know Kim Yangkil.
I'm going to deal with him my way.
You got that?
Now, go and get some drink.
- Room 503.
- 503?
Think you can remember?
Stupid as you are?
Fuck off!
I did exactly as the bastard asked.
Like an obedient little day.
Aren't I a good girl?
Get in. You're drunk.
Yes, I'm drunk.
He kept making me drink.
You know what he said?
He said Kim Yangkil and Bae Taegon
are both the same shit.
Pretty smart for a prosecutor!
- I said get in!
- Let go! I hate you!
I'm don't wanna ride with you.
I am sorry baby
Here, you ride alone.
I won't with you.
I don't want any, you shithead.
I'll be going now.
Going?
Come here.
You want to have me, don't you.
Just say it.
Anyone can have it for the asking.
Come on,
just say that.
lie down
Right now
my body is very...dirty.
But you know that, right?
- Makdong!
- Yes, Big Brother.
What's wrong with you tonight?
Has anything happened?
Nothing's wrong, Big Brother.
- Ah, Fuck!
- Don't!
Get the car out!
Don't!
Hey, Mr. Viet Cong. Kim Yangkil
sends his greetings.
You fucking asshole, come out!
I've been busy since
you came out of prison.
Forgive me, Big Brother.
It seems that the boys
have had a little fight.
I will make sure
they are educated properly.
Ya, I understand.
Amongst dogs there are some mongrels
that think they're pure breeds
There's only one way to deal
with that kind of mongrel.
That is, he has to be
taught his place.
drink it!
What did you say
your dream in life was?
To live with my family and run
a small restaurant together again.
How beautiful.
My dreams are what
got me this far in life.
But I've paid my dues.
- By the way, Sir...
- What?
- Your fly is undone.
- You little...
Really. Your zipper's undone.
Big Brother. There's a call for you.
Off with the music! Now!
Hello! Mom! Hello!
Is that you Big brother?
It's me Makdong. Where's mom?
I'm fine.
Don't hang up! Don't hang up!
Do you remember the red bridge?
The red steel bridge?
We used to go fishing
under that bridge, remember?
One day I was trying to catch
one of those green-colored fish
and lost my slippers
own the stream. Remember?
Soonok, that silly girl,
got stung by a bee on the bum
and ended up with 3 cheeks
that day, remember?
Big Brother!
do you remember at that time?
remember those days?
Sir...
Have you eaten?
No. But I'm fine.
How old did you say you were?
Twenty six.

How about chicken soup then?
We have real free-range.
Really?
Sure. You can watch us
catch one if you like.
We don't need to see for ourselves
Come watch.
"Seeing is believing" you know.
Should we have the chicken?
Alright.
Chicken for two?
- Oh, that's a good one.
- Isn't it?
jesus...
I'll take it, Big brother.
Go on, children! Play outside!
What made you take
so long at the market?
So what?
Where were you doing all that time?
Now what?
Did you enjoy the chicken soup?
Yes, it was delicious.
Do you live
in the new apartment complex?
We moved here just recently.
Stop by often.
We'd love to have you, back.
That's neat the way you put all
those old pictures together.
You like it?
It's a good idea.
Thank you.
Bye.
Haven't we met somewhere before?
I don't think so.
What did you do before?
I was a public servant.
It's just that you look familiar.
Bye.
Thank you. Bye!
