Room No.7 (2017) Movie Script
(SHIN HA-KYUN)
(DOH KYUNGSOO)
Following "Sometimes, Someone"
from Happy End OST,
Ms. Lim Ji-young requested
Andy Powell's "Steal My Love."
End of the year is
always bittersweet.
We leave a year
full of joy and sorrow,
and welcoming a new year
is an awkward affair.
(DIRECTED BY LEE YONG-SEUNG)
Allow this song to console...
I got to drive a Bentley
when I took a client to Hannam.
The seat massages you.
So luxurious, no need to go home.
You could rest there
and go to work.
So relaxing.
So cold...
- See you!
- Bye!
- You're so hot today.
- Really?
So hot and so sexy.
You too, baby.
Welcome back.
Sweep the floor
if the place is empty.
New part-timer's coming tomorrow,
can you come for a bit?
I got a temporary job.
Another employee,
when this place is dead?
Got to resurrect it,
(EMPLOYEE HOURS)
I have to sell it this month.
Boss.
Dang it...
Boss!
What is it?
Can I get $300 first?
My cell phone bills are overdue.
Sorry, but I can't even pay
the $167 electricity bill.
- I'm losing so much...
- You owe me $2,000.
I'll settle it
when I sell this place!
Got the key?
It's dead here,
so just clock out.
Prick...
(HOLLYWOOD DVD ROOM)
Shop and cook,
The King of Cooking!
Fry it like so...
Make me rich.
I want fortune.
God, Buddha, ancestors...
I want a ton of cash.
(ROOM NO. 7)
(FOR RENT)
Damn...
That's what happened.
Here comes that scumbag.
(APGUJEONG REAL ESTATE)
Here.
I'm sorry about last time.
It's all in the past.
No need to bring that.
Thanks.
So, why did you call me?
Anyone interested in the store?
Most shops here have been
on sale for over six months.
Shops don't get sold in order.
I've been trying to sell
for over five months!
That's not what I meant.
Jeez.
Some shops have been
up for a year.
When do I get my rent?
You're ten months behind.
Kick me out,
I want to be kicked out.
If you keep this up,
you can't work in Apgujeong.
I thought you will kick out
only with three months of
overdue rent.
Pay me a $100 million premium
and kick me out!
Don't deduct from the deposit.
I'm just a building manager.
I'm losing so much weight
because of the stress!
Sir!
I'll double your commission,
so get me a buyer.
If you update the interior,
it'll do well.
You know I can't do that.
You could convert it
to karaoke or something.
That'd be perfect.
It's because you're not investing.
Say what?
Are you kidding me?
Why would I?
You said this was easy money.
I got lied to and poured
everything and more into it!
Who buys a shop
just by listening to others?
What do you mean by lied to?
I gave you all the information
I had at the time!
You said it's a popular spot,
there's not even an ant!
I get one or two couples a day,
that's $20, $30!
I've been working
as a chauffeur to pay the rent!
Look outside!
Look at the foot traffic
down the street!
Where? Where are they?
Who comes to
DVD room to have fun?
People go to Gangnam to enjoy!
Watch it, buddy!
Why are you always causing grief?
What did I do?
I'll make the shop look busy,
get me a buyer.
Or I'll burn that place down.
What a jerk...
What did you just say?
Great weather, I said.
It is, indeed.
He's gone.
What the hell!
- Jackass...
- What's with him?
He's an uneducated idiot.
How long have you been in Korea?
Three years, sir.
Are you Korean-Chinese?
Korean compatriot?
Korean-Chinese is Chinese.
Get me the remote.
Okay.
I told him to remove it...
What the heck?
What's he doing?
Where is he?
Hey, Korean-Chinese!
Where is he?
- Where were you?
- I'm apology.
It's not "apology," say "sorry."
- I'm sorry.
- Remote?
When customers leave,
take this to the room.
Your only goal is,
make this place busy and sell.
I got suckered
and got a loan
to be in this dead area.
All the shops I worked at
did really well.
Good.
Always leave that room open,
to spread positive energy.
I put a talisman in there.
Okay.
Prayer is the only thing
I can rely on.
Come on in.
Start with this spray.
It's irritating to smell
anything funky,
you know?
- You look Korean.
- I'm Chinese.
Fine, turn this on,
and wipe the sofa.
- Easy, isn't it?
- Yes.
Try it.
Let me turn it off.
Try it.
Come in, spray.
Turn this on.
And wipe.
Good.
Check to see if tissues are there.
If not, some jerks
finish on the sofa.
What?
They just do it here, got it?
- Check that!
- Okay.
Move that.
Wait, move!
Grab the coins, they all add up.
Okay.
- I'm apology.
- It's "sorry!"
Back off!
Sorry.
Jesus Christ.
Hello?
Customer.
- Anyone here?
- Customer, hurry!
Excuse me?
Welcome!
Welcome, take a look.
- Are these all the new ones?
- Some are over here too.
New releases are $15,
classics are $10.
New releases are $12,
old ones are $10.
New releases are $15.
- Concentrate.
- I'm sorry.
- This one.
- $15, please.
- $15, please.
- Debit?
It's busted,
I'll get it fixed for next time.
We'll fix it.
I'll pay.
- Here.
- Thank you.
- What's the WiFi password?
- It's "angel angel."
- Room No. 2, please.
- Thank you.
It's okay,
you already turned it on.
Which way is it?
One moment.
This is the Hollywood DVD room.
This way, please.
The job's filled.
Hey, hey, come here!
This is easy,
Room No. 1-3.
This is Room No. 2,
so open it,
pop in the disc and play.
- Easy?
- Yes.
(HOLLYWOOD DVD ROOM)
This?
New release.
Good, new release.
- Everything is.
- New release.
- And they are?
- $15.
Okay, good.
- Welcome.
- Evening.
Do you prefer a manager,
or associate manager?
What do you mean?
I'm creating
a corporate structure.
Whatever, I don't care.
Okay, then you're a temporary.
This is Manager Jo,
and that's night temporary.
If you have questions, ask him.
Yes.
He's a manager,
so treat him with respect.
All right, Manager Jo,
get ready to clock out.
Yes.
Hey, temporary,
we got two couples.
Okay.
I'm Jo Han-wook.
With a new employee,
now it feels like a business.
Manager Jo.
Yes?
Take these and distribute them
on the way to work tomorrow.
- Yes.
- There's more.
And more.
Where do you live?
- Daerim-dong.
- Daerim?
That's far.
You're not a student,
and not an illegal alien?
No, here.
Very photogenic.
Write down your hours
and head on home.
Okay, thank you.
- New release?
- $15.
Good.
Did you put the stickers
to hide scratches?
No, it's almost new.
I'll give you $200.
How about $300?
It's a vital item to me.
- Nope.
- How about $250?
The battery was replaced,
and I bought it for $800 used.
I'll give you $220.
Nothing more.
What about this? It's pretty new.
What is this?
Sorry, only tech products.
Fill in where I checked off.
Write your name
and sign at the bottom.
What's the interest?
Less than $10.
(TO MUSIC RECORD LABEL)
No...
Welcome.
Please select the postal services
from the menu.
The bulk mailing service is not
available with cash.
Then there'll be
plenty of spaces to hide it.
I heard it's dead there.
I need to empty this place.
But why do you work there?
That's embarrassing.
How's work?
You know.
Keep this for ten days or so.
No more pills for me.
I'm not doing that anymore.
Scumbag, don't call them pills.
Someone'll hear you.
One of my clients was arrested,
I'm just worried
that cops will barge in here.
And I'm not asking you
to mule this,
but hold onto it
until I get a new buyer.
This is for VIP, you got that?
I'll wipe away your debt.
Ten days?
I'll take it back before then.
Along with your debt, nice, right?
Can I take a look?
Do it.
Looks lucky, right?
Then can you front $5,000?
I have some urgent business.
Deal.
Tae-jung, I trust you.
Come here. Explain it to him.
We have plenty of regulars.
See those lights?
They're all occupied.
- It's a full house.
- Amazing.
- Mr. Kim?
- Yes?
The interior doesn't seem right
to start
a multi-entertainment shop.
Come on, vice principal.
The interior doesn't need
to be renovated.
Just change the wall colors.
The previous owner renovated,
so I didn't touch anything.
- There was no need.
- Of course.
But there's no elevator.
If it was fifth or sixth floors,
that would be a problem,
but third and fourth are
not a problem at all.
You saw the area
from just walking around,
This is the only right spot
for a multi-entertainment shop
in Rodeo Street.
It is quite spacious.
Of course.
May I walk around?
Sure, take a look.
Take your time.
He looks into it.
It's all about the price.
I can negotiate, don't worry.
Your flyers are everywhere.
My part-timer.
Him?
Business picked up
after he came along.
Everything will work out.
- Manager Jo!
- Yes!
This is my real estate agent.
Good afternoon.
Nice to meet you.
He looks like a lucky charm.
- So handsome.
- Thank you.
He's Korean-Chinese.
I'll leave this out,
and let the heater run.
How much do you love me?
I love you more than my mom.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- For real?
- Yeah.
Vice principal?
Vice principal?
Wait! I'm coming!
The rooms are too small.
- It'll need major renovation...
- Did you get a good look?
I didn't look.
No elevator,
and stuffy interior too...
It'll be costly...
Are you okay?
- You okay?
- Major renovation,
- elevator's a problem...
- Renovation?
Hold on.
Vice principal! Sir?
Vice principal!
adding another fun thing
to do at home.
New Year rice cake soup?
creating memories
for the holidays.
Okay.
We can play with hacky sack...
- Have some more.
- It's fine.
- Have plenty.
- It's too much.
You get any calls?
From who?
After your vegetable shop
went bust,
she took everything and left.
I should've stopped your wedding.
I'm the problem.
Working in Gimpo was
the good old days.
Like hell they were.
It's like being in prison now.
How about closing your shop
and joining ours?
We need someone to deliver.
And like I'll ever let you starve.
Deliver fried chicken at my age?
You have a lot of experience,
and it's good for us too.
I've only been a salary man,
never ran my own business.
Yeah, when things get tough,
we need to stick together.
I freak out whenever you call.
If our parents were alive,
you wouldn't be this stubborn.
Stop nagging! It's the New Year.
I'll pay you $20,000
with plenty of interest!
I'm not talking about that.
- Eat plenty.
- Okay.
- Two portions.
- Okay.
When I was your age,
I ate two portions and then some.
You did have a big appetite.
Is there anything you want?
- There is.
- What?
I want a Nintendo 3DS.
- To play more games?
- Of course not.
You said you wanted an iPad,
ask your uncle for one.
Isn't he too young
for something like that?
Kids nowadays use those.
I played hacky sack
when I was his age.
- Hacky sack and spinner.
- He's old.
Afternoon!
Hey there.
Have a seat.
Let's see.
What's this about?
Well...
That vice principal...
Damn...
He's interested.
You really had me!
Totally.
But we'll have to go
with a $70,000 premium.
What do you mean?
I paid $100,000 to start.
The business is booming right now.
$70,000 is the offer,
it's a good compromise.
He has renovation to pay for.
$50,000 deposit minus
late rent is $20,000,
plus $70,000 premium
comes to $90,000.
That's not enough
for a house deposit!
I moved out
of my newlywed home for this!
Then $75,000.
A lot of shops
don't have premiums.
Fine, do it for $80,000.
There's no point
dragging this out.
That DVD room over there,
left with a $6,000 premium.
- Let's go with $80,000.
- Okay.
He's in Japan right now,
so let's sign in three days.
Fine.
When the deal goes bad,
there's no turning back,
so stay alert
until the contract is signed.
I got it.
Now you smile.
- Thanks for everything.
- Stay for coffee.
The real estate agent
didn't do anything,
until I doubled his pay,
then he brought me a sucker.
Drink, drink.
What's important is,
you must be patient.
Your day will come!
You must be patient
to get your money.
So the shop is sold?
We sign in two days.
I was fortunate, though,
it took me five months.
This place was put
on the market a year ago.
And the shop that was robbed...
So, when do you move out?
In about a week or two.
Boss, I have a question.
What is it?
Minimum wage is $6,
so why do I get $4?
I think it's unfair.
Don't worry, Manager Jo.
I won't skimp on your pay.
I'll pay you $1,000 severance.
To accomplish big things,
you must for ego small greed.
Excuse me, could you quiet down?
I'm sorry.
So damn noisy.
Do they own this place?
No manners.
Washroom break.
Let's just drink.
Hey,
he owes me two months' pay.
If we gang up,
we could get paid first.
I'm worried that he'll
take the money and run.
What did you say to me?
What the hell!
You prick!
You called me a prick?
I don't believe this.
Do you even know
who my father is?
Who cares who your daddy is?
Do you know my daddy?
Calm down!
Hit me, you fool!
What a loser!
Jo!
Hit me, you fool!
Good night.
See you.
I'm letting this slide
because we all work here.
We run a cafe just up the street.
- Can I go?
- Yes, go ahead.
- Have a great night.
- My apologies.
Come visit our cafe.
Let's go, come on.
Boss!
- You okay?
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- Not at all.
- Take a cab.
- It's okay.
- Take it.
- I'm really okay.
Boss!
Go home! It's cold!
Thank you!
Welcome to Lotteria.
Lovers' Burger set, corn salad,
crab nugget,
and squid rings, please.
It's $18.40.
Then can I add a hash brown?
Got a discount card?
Nope.
It comes to $19.40.
- Do you need a receipt?
- No, that's okay.
Here's your change.
(FOR A BETTER WORLD)
Boss?
Boss!
I'm sorry.
What is it? It's 2 p.m. already?
Yes. There is water outside.
Water? Where?
Below the heater.
Then get a mop, I'll be out.
Yes.
What's up?
Not sure how to...
What the heck...
Jo.
Mop the water and squeeze it here.
But it's...
Should I do it?
It's okay, just do it.
Get on top of the bucket.
What's with the burger?
Jo! Did you buy this?
Looks delicious!
Mop it quickly and let's eat!
Hello?
- Mr. Kim.
- Yes!
- How's 2 p.m. in two days?
- 2 p.m.?
- Do this properly.
- This is it!
- You owe me.
- Sure thing.
Hello?
Manager Jo?
Jo?
This is 911,
what's your emergency?
Hello!
- Hello?
- Yes! Yes!
Coming!
Welcome.
- Are you open?
- Not right now.
Can we use a room?
We can finish in 15 minutes.
- I'm sorry, but...
- Thank you!
The power went out,
come back in two hours.
It'll be a quickie.
- Sorry, sorry!
- We'll pay $30.
You can't! Get out!
- We'll pay you $30.
- Thank you, boss!
Hello?
This is 911, did you call earlier?
I'm sorry, I dialed by accident.
So you're okay?
- Yes, sorry.
- Okay, bye.
Yes, yes.
Sir, why are you yelling at us?
I'm not going to take it
from a DVD room owner!
Damn, what did you say?
I'm sick of this.
Die as a DVD room owner!
Damn...
(POLICE)
When the deal goes bad,
there's no turning back.
I was fortunate, though,
it took me five months.
(RENT)
This place was put
on the market a year ago.
That shop that was robbed,
no one dares to put an offer.
When do I get my rent?
You're ten months behind.
(VEGETABLE SHOP)
Why did you have to die?
What the hell?
- Boss?
- Yeah? What?
Why did you lock Room No. 7?
Why do you care?
Focus on other rooms!
Everything has to be fixed,
we're closing today.
Go home.
I just got here.
Where's the Korean-Chinese?
I don't know.
He didn't come?
- Boss?
- Yes! Yes!
Why are you so jumpy?
There was too much leakage,
I replaced the backside.
Are they waterproofing the roof?
Yeah, well...
It's a good thing
you didn't get electrocuted.
- Also, here you go...
- One moment.
- Hello?
- Still no power?
Nothing yet.
- About the deal...
- Yes.
- It doesn't look good.
- What?
I just talked to
the vice principal...
- And?
- He wants to forget
- about the deal.
- What?
Yes, that's understandable.
But if you think it over,
the deposit is...
Yes.
Okay.
He'll shop around.
Jeez.
I talked to him five times today
on the phone.
He's over it, nothing we can do.
Have you been well?
Oh, hello.
Sorry about last time,
we were too drunk.
It's all in the past.
Are you the owner here?
No, I'm just a manager.
Come by often.
We roast our coffee,
so it smells amazing.
Yeah, it does smell good.
Do you sell that separately too?
Yeah, you can buy it.
One sack would be enough
to last a year.
See you again.
With a lowered premium,
it'll get sold soon.
Don't worry.
You look like death!
- Hello?
- Did you hear?
The landlord is raising
the deposit and rent!
What?
Go away!
Having lunch?
- Know why I'm here?
- No, what is it?
Damn...
Avoiding my calls.
You got the Chinese food?
What's going on?
Is it good?
What are you doing?
Go call the police!
Are you nuts?
Hello? Police?
Have you gone mad?
What the hell!
Raised the deposit and rent?
We've looked out for you.
We haven't raised them
for three years!
How am I to sell my shop?
Raising them is a death sentence.
The roof leaks,
and you don't do anything!
I'm just doing
what the landlord orders!
Fine, let's die,
let's just die together!
Stop that!
Stop that! Clean it up!
You're out of your mind!
Why isn't this working?
All right, let's all die.
That's the answer.
I'll drop the rent, clean it up.
You jackass!
Is it fun to play with people?
I'm all burnt inside.
I'll lower it, so clean it up!
Clean!
It feels like I'm eating gasoline.
What a stench.
So many locks...
- Buddy!
- Yes?
What were you doing there?
- Nothing.
- It's not nothing!
What were you doing
near Room No. 7?
I was going to clean.
Why did you put those locks?
What?
I'll put them back, happy?
Gasoline, gasoline...
Gasoline, gasoline...
Where is it?
Damn...
Wrap it up and go home!
Okay.
Damn!
What's that idiot doing?
It's coming...
Toilet paper, toilet paper...
Come on, man!
Just go home, go away...
Scumbag...

(TO MY SON)
Welcome.
We're full, you'll have to wait.
I'm a detective.
Are you the owner?
Yes, how can I help you?
We received a report.
Can I look around?
Yes, you certainly can.
Action, drama, science fiction,
comedy, we got everything.
And over here!
We give points to titles
and rank them each week...
Part-timer?
Yes.
Right, right.
Washroom's here.
Hallway over here,
DVDs are displayed here.
What's that?
What's what?
At the end there.
At the end?
DVDs! Those are all DVDs.
No, the door behind it.
It's storage.
We have over 4,500 titles,
the most in Apgujeong.
There's no other way
to store everything.
What's that smell?
You smell something?
The customers make love so much...
Pay attention,
customers are leaving!
Do you allow minors
to come in at night?
Absolutely not.
Any gangsters?
Come on,
this is the heart of Seoul.
You have to be careful,
these can't drop on the floor.
Sorry about that.
I'm so sweaty.
Detective, how about
we get a cold drink?
- Yeah?
- Sure.
It's hot.
What kind of report was it?
You know...
Nice and cold!
Or coffee would be nice
on a rainy day like today.
This could be considered a bribe.
It's a new title, watch it alone.
I'll rent it since it's new.
- Thank you.
- Not at all.
Call me if there's any problem.
Thank you.
Come by any time.
Largest DVD collection
in Apgujeong!
Detective, you forgot this!
Thank you.
Take care!
- Hello?
- Avoiding my calls?
I've been really busy.
- Is your shift over?
- Yeah, just now.
Hey, I got a buyer.
Tomorrow okay?
- Tomorrow?
- Why?
Something wrong?
Is this really okay?
A cop came by today.
A cop? Damn!
Bring it back as soon as possible.
Damn, I told them
not to use this door.
They just use it
because I put a spoon.
I should just quit.
But I need money to quit.
Damn...
Damn.
It won't close!
Why won't it go in?
Damn, what do I do?
Oh yeah, the rice bag.
Damn!
The string!
Mr. Kim? What are you doing?
I bought new DVDs,
and the luggage broke.
Didn't I tell you
not to use the fire escape?
I didn't use it!
The spoon was out of the hinge!
But... I didn't...
Good night.
Take care.
It's not like a cat would do that!
Should I just put a lock?
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Jesus...
- It's the last time!
- Okay, fine, fine.
You never pay rent,
but do stuff I tell you not to.
Damn...
Damn...
That was pointless...
I haven't seen you around.
I've been busy.
I wondered why you needed
an unregistered car,
but you're in the movie business.
Yes.
I did some work as a model
for an online mall.
- With that body?
- Plus-size model.
It's this one.
Very good.
No need to spend money
on new cars.
- Hop in.
- Okay.
Battery needs replacing,
and some repair.
But the engine
and frame are good enough
for your use.
This car is unregistered,
so be careful on the road.
Okay, thanks.
- Count it.
- It's okay.
Key's inside.
We have to help one another.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Good luck!
It's your brother.
What?
- He had a car?
- No, he didn't.
- What the heck?
- He bought one?
Who knows.
What in the...
Hey.
Du-sik, what brings you here?
Could I leave this here
until the shop is sold?
Sure.
What is it?
No customers today?
Yeah, it's been bad all season.
What did I miss?
What happened?
- Not telling.
- I missed it!
He's really good.
It'll be done in three days.
Yes.
I'll call you back.
What the heck!
What the hell, man!
Everyone's been waiting
for your call!
Another stupid buyer
got arrested today!
I'll get it this week,
it's a bit of a mess.
Then clean it up, idiot!
I'll get it this week.
Look at this jackass.
You need a lesson.
We have no time to fool around!
Three days, that's it.
If a cop comes by, stab him.
Got it?
Look at the leak.
Everything'll soak.
Go easy, grab this.
One, two!
Why is this so heavy?
This will take a while.
So much water.
- Hey.
- Busy?
What's up?
We're doing some work
in storage due to a leak.
Come fetch your luggage.
What's in here? Why's it so heavy?
Can I open it?
No, no, no!
It's locked.
Pry it open.
I'm on the way, don't open it!
Okay, fine.
- Try 000.
- 000.
001?
Yeah, 002.
This will take forever.
005, 00...
When's his birthday?
Wasn't it the summer?
Should I try 111?
- Try 807.
- 807.
No, 808!
- 808? Nope.
- I'm not sure...
Wasn't it December?
Try it from 120.
121, 122, 123, faster, faster!
This will take so long...
I'm so curious.
The stench is driving me crazy.
We'll open it next week
at this rate.
Jeez...
What is it?
- Boss, are you at the shop?
- I'm driving!
Let's talk later!
Okay...
- Where are you going?
- Work.
- Try 628.
- 628.
Nope.
- Then 303.
- I tried that.
He's here!
What is that? Something terrible?
What are you doing
with other people's stuff?
I got it!
- It's open!
- What was it?
109! 109! I got it!
One, two, three!
What's that stench?
Where is it?
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
What the heck!
Why are you in here?
What the hell!
Damn!
Where's my bag?
Give it back and
I'll forget everything.
I didn't kill him,
he was electrocuted.
I was afraid the deal
would get voided.
I don't care about the body,
just give me my bag!
Where did you get that?
What happened to your face?
Damm it!
It's not mine, give it back!
Fine, damn it...
Why did you leave it in here?
I don't want to fight.
Okay, fine, drop the knife, okay?
So give it back!
Help me...
Help you with what?
Potential buyers are coming,
shop owners from Gangnam,
they're rich, so it has potential.
It'll sell, I'm sure.
When I sell it, I'll give it back,
and pay your salary too.
Damn, I'll give you even more!
Please, help.
Where's the drug?
Apgujeong Station, coin locker.
I got the key in my pocket.
I can't stand the smell
of a rotting body!
And the cop too!
Let's sort it out today.
Get the body out of here.
I can't do this alone.
Fine, but I want it first.
I'll keep your promise.
So we'll clean this up together.
And keep everything a secret,
of course.
Damn, I'll help.
Okay, can't you lower the knife?
Let's lower it together,
at the same time.
Good?
One, two...
It happened so fast.
I couldn't tell anyone,
it was killing me.
I couldn't report it
because of the sale.
But it feels so good
to let it all out to you.
A large bag of coffee beans
was so expensive.
I bought it with
some money saved up.
The buyers are coming at 7 p.m.,
so two people posing as customers.
You know well enough.
I lasted as long as I could.
And call the shop
around that time.
I got it, I'll make sure
all the rooms are full.
This is my last chance.
By the way,
why did you start the DVD room?
I heard that someone I knew
made a fortune doing this.
But once I got started,
the shop didn't do so well,
you know that.
How many couples do we get a day?
So I thought back to
when I heard that story,
it was ten years ago,
a decade ago.
That feels like yesterday.
I was an idiot.
Do you do drugs then?
I don't do them.
Be honest.
Sniff it like in the movies?
It's okay, I'm just curious.
I really don't get high!
So why deal drugs?
How much is your debt?
Quite a bit, about $18,000.
But how?
I couldn't get a student loan,
so I used a loan shark.
Oh...
Parents?
No one's doing well,
I'm not a kid anymore.
Making $1,000 as a part-timer
is hard enough,
but with this,
my debt will be wiped off.
Once that happens,
everything's solved?
I'm really curious.
Does it feel really good?
Getting high and stuff.
I don't do that stuff.
I'm dying to know.
I said I don't do them.
Maybe it'll relieve my stress
and put me at ease.
Completely calm and peaceful.
- $10,000 is doable.
- $10,000?
Pardon me, it's really busy here.
Good, good work.
You can't run a business
in Rodeo Street with that.
Then $11,000?
Hey, hey!
- Get the phone!
- Yes, sir!
We run a shop in Gangnam.
- Hello, Hollywood DVD.
- We paid a $20,000 premium.
- I paid $100,000 here.
- No reservation.
This place is $20,000 at the most.
With labor and renovation,
it's pointless.
Welcome, this way please.
Then go with $60,000, okay?
We're all full now,
we got too many couples.
Could you wait here?
Apologize to them.
- I'm the owner.
- I'm so sorry.
Market value of this area
is completely different.
Yes, I'm aware...
How big was it? Your old shop?
It should be in the estimate.
Wait, you can't just
blurt out such a low fee.
I said I can do up to $60,000!
Wait a moment,
he dropped it to $20,000...
No! No! No! Don't open that!
What's wrong?
What is it?
Damn.
We're done
$10,000?
Good news and bad news,
which one first?
Just tell me.
Remember the vice principal?
If you're game, it's a go.
It all depends on the amount.
It's fortunate that he didn't
sign elsewhere yet.
That's the good news,
what about the bad?
You'll have to settle
with $40,000.
Why?
The building manager
raised the deposit to $70,000.
It's an order from the landlord,
so he has no choice.
$70,000 deposit?
If the premium isn't $40,000,
I can't convince him.
He's still interested,
so take this chance.
The premium will fall,
it's a liability and a risk.
So both are bad news.
I'm doing everything for you.
You have to know that!
I'm tired of this too.
You want some coffee?
Damn...
(POLICE)
What's going on here?
What the heck!
How did you get in?
What are you doing?
- What's going on?
- Smash the door!
Why're you moving that?
There's nothing here.
- There's nothing!
- Get out of the way!
Boys, get him out of here!
No! There's nothing!
Not a thing!
Warrant! Bring a warrant!
Nothing's in there!
Don't you dare!
Hey! Take this bed outside!
Nothing! Nothing!
Shut that man up! Get him out!
You idiots! Scumbags!
No! No!
Search inside!
Be thorough!
Nothing?
No, just coffee, sir.
Coffee?
Who are you?
Nothing, not a damn thing.
Something's fishy.
Nope, nothing.
Detective!
- Detective Woo!
- What?
Chief is asking for you.
Search other rooms.
So?
- Detective!
- What's the exact location?
What's all this?
This is a place of business.
It's where I live!
Give me a minute,
this is an urgent call.
How am I supposed to
clean up this mess?
The drug lab is in Moonrae-dong?
We got the wrong place.
Move out!
What are you looking for?
There's nothing!
You can't just
rummage through everything!
Get the hell out!
What exactly did you find?
Search warrant.
When did Lee Tae-jung
start working here?
(ILLICIT DRUG SEARCH WARRANT)
Why'd there be drugs
at a DVD room?
Don't travel far.
Where is he?
(HOLLYWOOD BOSS)
Give me the key.
The cops came to my home.
Let's stop this, okay?
I filmed everything and
got the cop's number too.
Where's the body?
Give me the key,
or I'll report you.
Report me?
They were already here, idiot!
Where's the damn body?
Jackass!
You prick!
Where's the damn key?
You jerk!
Scumbag!
You little jackass! I'll kill you!
Where's the body? Where is it?
Where is it, idiot?
Wait, wait, wait!
You jackass!
- Give me the key!
- Come at me!
Give it to me!
You fool!
You jerk!
Damn!
Damn you!
Jackass!
Eat this!
Give me the key!
Give it!
I helped you as promised,
you jerk!
I hid it first!
Damn it!
I got a bad back!
You're too heavy!
Get off of me!
Give me the key!
I'm going to kill you!
Get off of me!
Jackass!
I'm so tired...
You idiot...
Here you go, fool.
Body...
Where's my body?
Give me back my body...
I got here this far...
Give it back, jackass.
What's this?
Apgujeong Station.
Damn...
Why's everything so bad?
- I'll take the deal.
- Wise decision.
- Then sign tomorrow?
- As soon as possible.
- Tomorrow morning?
- Okay.
Okay, see you at 10 a.m.
See you.
This is the check
and cash envelope.
Deducting overdue rent,
utilities and my commission,
$13,600 and $40,000 premium,
totaling $53,600.
Double check.
Did you sign it front and back?
Yes.
The vice principal has
very genial expression.
That's why he reached his level.
Right?
- It's good.
- Yeah?
Mr. Kim, be successful.
Of course, you should.
I'll hire some dancers
for the opening and go big.
My family's always
trying to deter me,
but I'm going to
make it a success.
And you will!
Wear white shoes
on the opening day.
White shoes are
a harbinger of success.
I'm not very superstitious.
I'm a devout Christian.
(MEN ARRESTED FOR

I'm sure you'll do well. Right?
I heard it's tough to
become a vice principal.
I lived earnestly.
I can see it on your face.
It's all settled,
so let's end with applause.
- Be successful!
- Good luck!
You too, Mr. Kim.
- Did you pack your seal?
- Yes, thank you.
The tattoo guy got arrested.
Yeah, I heard.
He's not talking to the cops.
Listen, this is between
you and me.
Bring me the merchandize
and I'll give you half.
Answer me,
you're not talking too?
Think it over,
we have to do this today.
Please take your cash.
Hey.
I sent $5,000 more,
so $15,000 in total.
I was going to send $20,000,
but you know how it is.
It feels bittersweet.

Already?
It must be happy hour.

- I'm okay.
- Get in.

- Did you verify the transfer?
- Yes.
I sent $5,000.
I kept my promise.
No cops?
No one cares about

No way.

I'll be a suspect.
But you are one.

I'm not an accomplice.

- See you!
- Bye!
- You're so hot today.
- Really?
So hot and so sexy.
You too, baby.

(APGUJEONG REAL ESTATE)
Here.
I'm sorry about last time.
It's all in the past.
No need to bring that.
Thanks.
So, why did you call me?
Anyone interested in the store?
Most shops here have been
on sale for over six months.
Shops don't get sold in order.
I've been trying to sell
for over five months!
That's not what I meant.
Jeez.
Some shops have been
up for a year.
When do I get my rent?
You're ten months behind.
Kick me out,
I want to be kicked out.
If you keep this up,
you can't work in Apgujeong.
I thought you will kick out
only with three months of
overdue rent.
Pay me a $100 million premium
and kick me out!
Don't deduct from the deposit.
I'm just a building manager.
I'm losing so much weight
because of the stress!
Sir!
I'll double your commission,
so get me a buyer.
If you update the interior,
it'll do well.
You know I can't do that.
You could convert it
to karaoke or something.
That'd be perfect.
It's because you're not investing.
Say what?
Are you kidding me?
Why would I?
You said this was easy money.
I got lied to and poured
everything and more into it!
Who buys a shop
just by listening to others?
What do you mean by lied to?
I gave you all the information
I had at the time!
You said it's a popular spot,
there's not even an ant!
I get one or two couples a day,
that's $20, $30!
I've been working
as a chauffeur to pay the rent!
Look outside!
Look at the foot traffic
down the street!
Where? Where are they?
Who comes to
DVD room to have fun?
People go to Gangnam to enjoy!
Watch it, buddy!
Why are you always causing grief?
What did I do?
I'll make the shop look busy,
get me a buyer.
Or I'll burn that place down.
What a jerk...
What did you just say?
Great weather, I said.
It is, indeed.
He's gone.
What the hell!
- Jackass...
- What's with him?
He's an uneducated idiot.
How long have you been in Korea?
Three years, sir.
Are you Korean-Chinese?
Korean compatriot?
Korean-Chinese is Chinese.
Get me the remote.
Okay.
I told him to remove it...
What the heck?
What's he doing?
Where is he?
Hey, Korean-Chinese!
Where is he?
- Where were you?
- I'm apology.
It's not "apology," say "sorry."
- I'm sorry.
- Remote?

take this to the room.
Your only goal is,
make this place busy and sell.

and got a loan
to be in this dead area.

I can rely on.

- You look Korean.
- I'm Chinese.

and wipe the sofa.
- Easy, isn't it?
- Yes.

Let me turn it off.
Try it.
Come in, spray.
Turn this on.
And wipe.

If not, some jerks
finish on the sofa.

- Check that!

- It's a full house.
- Amazing.
- Mr. Kim?
- Yes?
The interior doesn't seem right
to start
a multi-entertainment shop.
Come on, vice principal.
The interior doesn't need
to be renovated.
Just change the wall colors.
The previous owner renovated,
so I didn't touch anything.
- There was no need.
- Of course.
But there's no elevator.
If it was fifth or sixth floors,
that would be a problem,
but third and fourth are
not a problem at all.
You saw the area
from just walking around,
This is the only right spot
for a multi-entertainment shop
in Rodeo Street.
It is quite spacious.
Of course.
May I walk around?
Sure, take a look.
Take your time.
He looks into it.
It's all about the price.
I can negotiate, don't worry.
Your flyers are everywhere.

Him?
Business picked up
after he came along.
Everything will work out.
- Manager Jo!
- Yes!
This is my real estate agent.
Good afternoon.
Nice to meet you.
He looks like a lucky charm.
- So handsome.
- Thank you.
He's Korean-Chinese.
I'll leave this out,
and let the heater run.

I love you more than my mom.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- For real?
- Yeah.
Vice principal?
Vice principal?
Wait! I'm coming!
The rooms are too small.
- It'll need major renovation...
- Did you get a good look?
I didn't look.
No elevator,
and stuffy interior too...
It'll be costly...
Are you okay?
- You okay?
- Major renovation,
- elevator's a problem...
- Renovation?
Hold on.
Vice principal! Sir?

adding another fun thing
to do at home.

- Have some more.
- It's fine.
- Have plenty.
- It's too much.

went bust,
she took everything and left.

It's like being in prison now.
How about closing your shop
and joining ours?
We need someone to deliver.
And like I'll ever let you starve.
Deliver fried chicken at my age?
You have a lot of experience,
and it's good for us too.
I've only been a salary man,
never ran my own business.
Yeah, when things get tough,
we need to stick together.
I freak out whenever you call.
If our parents were alive,
you wouldn't be this stubborn.
Stop nagging! It's the New Year.
I'll pay you $20,000
with plenty of interest!
I'm not talking about that.
- Eat plenty.
- Okay.
- Two portions.
- Okay.
When I was your age,
I ate two portions and then some.
You did have a big appetite.
Is there anything you want?
- There is.
- What?
I want a Nintendo 3DS.
- To play more games?
- Of course not.
You said you wanted an iPad,
ask your uncle for one.
Isn't he too young
for something like that?
Kids nowadays use those.
I played hacky sack

- Hacky sack and spinner.
- He's old.

I paid $100,000 to start.
The business is booming right now.
$70,000 is the offer,
it's a good compromise.
He has renovation to pay for.
$50,000 deposit minus
late rent is $20,000,
plus $70,000 premium
comes to $90,000.
That's not enough
for a house deposit!
I moved out
of my newlywed home for this!
Then $75,000.
A lot of shops
don't have premiums.
Fine, do it for $80,000.
There's no point
dragging this out.
That DVD room over there,
left with a $6,000 premium.
- Let's go with $80,000.
- Okay.
He's in Japan right now,
so let's sign in three days.
Fine.
When the deal goes bad,
there's no turning back,
so stay alert
until the contract is signed.
I got it.
Now you smile.
- Thanks for everything.
- Stay for coffee.
The real estate agent
didn't do anything,
until I doubled his pay,
then he brought me a sucker.
Drink, drink.
What's important is,
you must be patient.
Your day will come!
You must be patient
to get your money.
So the shop is sold?
We sign in two days.
I was fortunate, though,
it took me five months.
This place was put
on the market a year ago.
And the shop that was robbed...
So, when do you move out?
In about a week or two.
Boss, I have a question.
What is it?
Minimum wage is $6,
so why do I get $4?
I think it's unfair.
Don't worry, Manager Jo.
I won't skimp on your pay.
I'll pay you $1,000 severance.
To accomplish big things,
you must for ego small greed.
Excuse me, could you quiet down?
I'm sorry.
So damn noisy.
Do they own this place?
No manners.
Washroom break.
Let's just drink.
Hey,
he owes me two months' pay.
If we gang up,
we could get paid first.
I'm worried that he'll
take the money and run.
What did you say to me?
What the hell!
You prick!
You called me a prick?
I don't believe this.
Do you even know
who my father is?
Who cares who your daddy is?
Do you know my daddy?
Calm down!
Hit me, you fool!
What a loser!
Jo!
Hit me, you fool!
Good night.
See you.
I'm letting this slide
because we all work here.
We run a cafe just up the street.
- Can I go?
- Yes, go ahead.
- Have a great night.
- My apologies.
Come visit our cafe.
Let's go, come on.
Boss!
- You okay?
- Yes.
- Thanks.
- Not at all.
- Take a cab.
- It's okay.
- Take it.
- I'm really okay.
Boss!
Go home! It's cold!
Thank you!
Welcome to Lotteria.
Lovers' Burger set, corn salad,

It's $18.40.
Then can I add a hash brown?
Got a discount card?
Nope.
It comes to $19.40.
- Do you need a receipt?
- No, that's okay.
Here's your change.
(FOR A BETTER WORLD)
Boss?
Boss!
I'm sorry.
What is it? It's 2 p.m. already?
Yes. There is water outside.
Water? Where?
Below the heater.
Then get a mop, I'll be out.
Yes.
What's up?
Not sure how to...
What the heck...
Jo.
Mop the water and squeeze it here.
But it's...
Should I do it?
It's okay, just do it.
Get on top of the bucket.
What's with the burger?
Jo! Did you buy this?
Looks delicious!
Mop it quickly and let's eat!
Hello?
- Mr. Kim.
- Yes!
- How's 2 p.m. in two days?
- 2 p.m.?
- Do this properly.
- This is it!
- You owe me.
- Sure thing.
Hello?
Manager Jo?
Jo?
This is 911,
what's your emergency?
Hello!
- Hello?
- Yes! Yes!
Coming!
Welcome.
- Are you open?
- Not right now.
Can we use a room?
We can finish in 15 minutes.
- I'm sorry, but...
- Thank you!
The power went out,
come back in two hours.
It'll be a quickie.
- Sorry, sorry!
- We'll pay $30.
You can't! Get out!
- We'll pay you $30.
- Thank you, boss!
Hello?
This is 911, did you call earlier?
I'm sorry, I dialed by accident.
So you're okay?
- Yes, sorry.
- Okay, bye.
Yes, yes.
Sir, why are you yelling at us?
I'm not going to take it
from a DVD room owner!
Damn, what did you say?
I'm sick of this.
Die as a DVD room owner!
Damn...
(POLICE)
When the deal goes bad,
there's no turning back.
I was fortunate, though,
it took me five months.
(RENT)
This place was put
on the market a year ago.
That shop that was robbed,
no one dares to put an offer.
When do I get my rent?
You're ten months behind.
(VEGETABLE SHOP)
Why did you have to die?
What the hell?
- Boss?
- Yeah? What?
Why did you lock Room No. 7?
Why do you care?
Focus on other rooms!
Everything has to be fixed,
we're closing today.
Go home.
I just got here.
Where's the Korean-Chinese?
I don't know.
He didn't come?
- Boss?
- Yes! Yes!
Why are you so jumpy?
There was too much leakage,
I replaced the backside.
Are they waterproofing the roof?
Yeah, well...
It's a good thing
you didn't get electrocuted.
- Also, here you go...
- One moment.
- Hello?
- Still no power?
Nothing yet.
- About the deal...
- Yes.
- It doesn't look good.
- What?
I just talked to
the vice principal...
- And?
- He wants to forget
- about the deal.
- What?
Yes, that's understandable.
But if you think it over,
the deposit is...
Yes.
Okay.
He'll shop around.
Jeez.
I talked to him five times today
on the phone.
He's over it, nothing we can do.
Have you been well?
Oh, hello.
Sorry about last time,
we were too drunk.
It's all in the past.
Are you the owner here?
No, I'm just a manager.
Come by often.
We roast our coffee,
so it smells amazing.
Yeah, it does smell good.
Do you sell that separately too?
Yeah, you can buy it.
One sack would be enough
to last a year.
See you again.
With a lowered premium,
it'll get sold soon.
Don't worry.
You look like death!
- Hello?
- Did you hear?
The landlord is raising
the deposit and rent!
What?
Go away!
Having lunch?
- Know why I'm here?
- No, what is it?
Damn...
Avoiding my calls.
You got the Chinese food?
What's going on?
Is it good?
What are you doing?
Go call the police!
Are you nuts?
Hello? Police?
Have you gone mad?
What the hell!
Raised the deposit and rent?
We've looked out for you.
We haven't raised them
for three years!
How am I to sell my shop?
Raising them is a death sentence.
The roof leaks,
and you don't do anything!
I'm just doing
what the landlord orders!
Fine, let's die,
let's just die together!
Stop that!
Stop that! Clean it up!
You're out of your mind!
Why isn't this working?
All right, let's all die.
That's the answer.
I'll drop the rent, clean it up.
You jackass!
Is it fun to play with people?
I'm all burnt inside.
I'll lower it, so clean it up!
Clean!
It feels like I'm eating gasoline.
What a stench.
So many locks...
- Buddy!
- Yes?
What were you doing there?
- Nothing.
- It's not nothing!
What were you doing
near Room No. 7?
I was going to clean.
Why did you put those locks?
What?
I'll put them back, happy?
Gasoline, gasoline...
Gasoline, gasoline...
Where is it?
Damn...
Wrap it up and go home!
Okay.
Damn!
What's that idiot doing?
It's coming...
Toilet paper, toilet paper...
Come on, man!
Just go home, go away...
Scumbag...

Welcome.
We're full, you'll have to wait.
I'm a detective.
Are you the owner?
Yes, how can I help you?
We received a report.
Can I look around?
Yes, you certainly can.
Action, drama, science fiction,
comedy, we got everything.
And over here!
We give points to titles
and rank them each week...
Part-timer?
Yes.
Right, right.
Washroom's here.
Hallway over here,
DVDs are displayed here.
What's that?
What's what?
At the end there.
At the end?
DVDs! Those are all DVDs.
No, the door behind it.
It's storage.
We have over 4,500 titles,
the most in Apgujeong.
There's no other way
to store everything.
What's that smell?
You smell something?
The customers make love so much...
Pay attention,
customers are leaving!
Do you allow minors
to come in at night?
Absolutely not.
Any gangsters?
Come on,
this is the heart of Seoul.
You have to be careful,
these can't drop on the floor.
Sorry about that.
I'm so sweaty.
Detective, how about
we get a cold drink?
- Yeah?
- Sure.
It's hot.
What kind of report was it?
You know...
Nice and cold!
Or coffee would be nice
on a rainy day like today.
This could be considered a bribe.
It's a new title, watch it alone.
I'll rent it since it's new.
- Thank you.
- Not at all.
Call me if there's any problem.
Thank you.
Come by any time.
Largest DVD collection
in Apgujeong!
Detective, you forgot this!
Thank you.
Take care!
- Hello?
- Avoiding my calls?
I've been really busy.
- Is your shift over?
- Yeah, just now.
Hey, I got a buyer.
Tomorrow okay?
- Tomorrow?
- Why?
Something wrong?
Is this really okay?
A cop came by today.
A cop? Damn!
Bring it back as soon as possible.
Damn, I told them
not to use this door.
They just use it
because I put a spoon.
I should just quit.
But I need money to quit.
Damn...
Damn.
It won't close!
Why won't it go in?
Damn, what do I do?
Oh yeah, the rice bag.
Damn!
The string!
Mr. Kim? What are you doing?
I bought new DVDs,
and the luggage broke.
Didn't I tell you
not to use the fire escape?
I didn't use it!
The spoon was out of the hinge!
But... I didn't...
Good night.
Take care.
It's not like a cat would do that!
Should I just put a lock?
Sorry, I'm sorry.
Jesus...
- It's the last time!
- Okay, fine, fine.
You never pay rent,
but do stuff I tell you not to.
Damn...
Damn...
That was pointless...
I haven't seen you around.
I've been busy.
I wondered why you needed
an unregistered car,
but you're in the movie business.
Yes.
I did some work as a model
for an online mall.
- With that body?
- Plus-size model.
It's this one.
Very good.
No need to spend money
on new cars.
- Hop in.
- Okay.
Battery needs replacing,
and some repair.
But the engine
and frame are good enough
for your use.
This car is unregistered,
so be careful on the road.
Okay, thanks.
- Count it.
- It's okay.
Key's inside.
We have to help one another.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
Good luck!
It's your brother.
What?
- He had a car?
- No, he didn't.
- What the heck?
- He bought one?
Who knows.
What in the...
Hey.
Du-sik, what brings you here?
Could I leave this here
until the shop is sold?
Sure.
What is it?
No customers today?
Yeah, it's been bad all season.
What did I miss?
What happened?
- Not telling.
- I missed it!
He's really good.
It'll be done in three days.
Yes.
I'll call you back.
What the heck!
What the hell, man!
Everyone's been waiting
for your call!
Another stupid buyer
got arrested today!
I'll get it this week,
it's a bit of a mess.
Then clean it up, idiot!
I'll get it this week.
Look at this jackass.
You need a lesson.
We have no time to fool around!
Three days, that's it.
If a cop comes by, stab him.
Got it?
Look at the leak.
Everything'll soak.
Go easy, grab this.
One, two!
Why is this so heavy?
This will take a while.
So much water.
- Hey.
- Busy?
What's up?
We're doing some work
in storage due to a leak.
Come fetch your luggage.
What's in here? Why's it so heavy?
Can I open it?
No, no, no!
It's locked.
Pry it open.
I'm on the way, don't open it!
Okay, fine.
- Try 000.
- 000.
001?
Yeah, 002.
This will take forever.
005, 00...
When's his birthday?
Wasn't it the summer?
Should I try 111?
- Try 807.
- 807.
No, 808!
- 808? Nope.
- I'm not sure...
Wasn't it December?
Try it from 120.
121, 122, 123, faster, faster!
This will take so long...
I'm so curious.
The stench is driving me crazy.
We'll open it next week
at this rate.
Jeez...
What is it?
- Boss, are you at the shop?
- I'm driving!
Let's talk later!
Okay...
- Where are you going?
- Work.
- Try 628.
- 628.
Nope.
- Then 303.
- I tried that.
He's here!
What is that? Something terrible?
What are you doing
with other people's stuff?
I got it!
- It's open!
- What was it?
109! 109! I got it!
One, two, three!
What's that stench?
Where is it?
Damn!
Damn!
Damn!
What the heck!
Why are you in here?
What the hell!
Damn!
Where's my bag?
Give it back and
I'll forget everything.
I didn't kill him,
he was electrocuted.
I was afraid the deal
would get voided.
I don't care about the body,
just give me my bag!
Where did you get that?
What happened to your face?
Damm it!
It's not mine, give it back!
Fine, damn it...
Why did you leave it in here?
I don't want to fight.
Okay, fine, drop the knife, okay?
So give it back!
Help me...
Help you with what?
Potential buyers are coming,
shop owners from Gangnam,
they're rich, so it has potential.
It'll sell, I'm sure.
When I sell it, I'll give it back,
and pay your salary too.
Damn, I'll give you even more!
Please, help.
Where's the drug?
Apgujeong Station, coin locker.
I got the key in my pocket.
I can't stand the smell
of a rotting body!
And the cop too!
Let's sort it out today.
Get the body out of here.
I can't do this alone.
Fine, but I want it first.
I'll keep your promise.
So we'll clean this up together.
And keep everything a secret,
of course.
Damn, I'll help.
Okay, can't you lower the knife?
Let's lower it together,
at the same time.
Good?
One, two...
It happened so fast.
I couldn't tell anyone,
it was killing me.
I couldn't report it
because of the sale.
But it feels so good
to let it all out to you.
A large bag of coffee beans
was so expensive.
I bought it with
some money saved up.
The buyers are coming at 7 p.m.,
so two people posing as customers.
You know well enough.
I lasted as long as I could.
And call the shop
around that time.
I got it, I'll make sure
all the rooms are full.
This is my last chance.
By the way,
why did you start the DVD room?
I heard that someone I knew
made a fortune doing this.
But once I got started,
the shop didn't do so well,
you know that.
How many couples do we get a day?
So I thought back to
when I heard that story,
it was ten years ago,
a decade ago.
That feels like yesterday.
I was an idiot.
Do you do drugs then?
I don't do them.
Be honest.
Sniff it like in the movies?
It's okay, I'm just curious.
I really don't get high!
So why deal drugs?
How much is your debt?
Quite a bit, about $18,000.
But how?
I couldn't get a student loan,
so I used a loan shark.
Oh...
Parents?
No one's doing well,
I'm not a kid anymore.
Making $1,000 as a part-timer
is hard enough,
but with this,
my debt will be wiped off.
Once that happens,
everything's solved?
I'm really curious.
Does it feel really good?
Getting high and stuff.
I don't do that stuff.
I'm dying to know.
I said I don't do them.
Maybe it'll relieve my stress
and put me at ease.
Completely calm and peaceful.
- $10,000 is doable.
- $10,000?
Pardon me, it's really busy here.
Good, good work.
You can't run a business
in Rodeo Street with that.
Then $11,000?
Hey, hey!
- Get the phone!
- Yes, sir!
We run a shop in Gangnam.
- Hello, Hollywood DVD.
- We paid a $20,000 premium.
- I paid $100,000 here.
- No reservation.
This place is $20,000 at the most.
With labor and renovation,
it's pointless.
Welcome, this way please.
Then go with $60,000, okay?
We're all full now,
we got too many couples.
Could you wait here?
Apologize to them.
- I'm the owner.
- I'm so sorry.
Market value of this area
is completely different.
Yes, I'm aware...
How big was it? Your old shop?
It should be in the estimate.
Wait, you can't just
blurt out such a low fee.
I said I can do up to $60,000!
Wait a moment,
he dropped it to $20,000...
No! No! No! Don't open that!
What's wrong?
What is it?
Damn.
We're done
$10,000?
Good news and bad news,
which one first?
Just tell me.
Remember the vice principal?
If you're game, it's a go.
It all depends on the amount.
It's fortunate that he didn't
sign elsewhere yet.
That's the good news,
what about the bad?
You'll have to settle
with $40,000.
Why?
The building manager
raised the deposit to $70,000.
It's an order from the landlord,
so he has no choice.
$70,000 deposit?
If the premium isn't $40,000,
I can't convince him.
He's still interested,
so take this chance.
The premium will fall,
it's a liability and a risk.
So both are bad news.
I'm doing everything for you.
You have to know that!
I'm tired of this too.
You want some coffee?
Damn...
(POLICE)
What's going on here?

Nope, nothing.

- What?

What's all this?
This is a place of business.
It's where I live!
Give me a minute,
this is an urgent call.

clean up this mess?

We got the wrong place.
Move out!

rummage through everything!

- I'll take the deal.
- Wise decision.
- Then sign tomorrow?
