The Killers (2024) Movie Script
1
I rather believe in aliens.
We can't be the only ones
in this universe.
My grandma said she saw a ghost
while shitting on the toilet
just before giving birth to my mom.
As she's never lied,
I believe she did see it.
Also...
I believe vampires exist
as I encountered one myself.

METAMORPHOSIS
I will change.
I promise I'll be good.
Change how?
A leopard can't change its spots.
But I can, I can change!
Really?
Don't try too hard.
Master has already given up on you.
Why did you pocket so petty
over and over?
You should've made off
with the good share.
Why hurt each other
by being so clumsy and bad?
So embarrassing.
No! There must've been
some misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
Huh?
I hear you.
Wait a sec, okay?
CALLER: ALICE
Yes.
Right, I get it.
I guess so.
What?
No way.
A leopard can't change its spots
you know.
I confirm.
Please handle it with care.
And, when it's done,
come join me for soju.
Ciao.
I got the master's confirmation.
Told us to handle it with care.
Chang-joong...
You know we are like a family!
I am really sorry.
I must've fallen asleep.
How long did I sleep?
Just a little while, sir.
I am sorry.
Let me use the bathroom.
Strange.
How did I get here?
Here. Drink it.
Doesn't it bother you?
Hold still.
Relax.
Drink it.
It's called Manhattan.
It would make you at ease.
You are so lucky, sir.
Listen.
I just don't know
what this place is about.
MOONLIT NIGHYou don't like it?
I don't really have...
a sweet tooth.
I like Martinis.
How did you have that
on the back?
Gosh...
It looked so painful.
It made me feel like
saving a human for the first time.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
You are open, right?
Let's sit here.
Let me go wash my hands.
Sure.
Do you have the single malt?
And...
something girls might like?
Sweet yet strong one.
How do you like it here?
Be more casual with me,
Mr. director.
I'm not really good at that.
Do you like to drink?
Yeah.
Movie directors should be
strong drinkers.
Drinking makes you smart
and good at alluring people.
Alluring is what we do.
You don't need to drink.
You're already so cool.
Thanks.
Glad to hear.
Great.
I think we've found him, master.
Thank you.
Looks so tasty.
I feel good...
Here.
This should be even better.
You know the blood...
tastes better in autumn.
More flavorful.
The blood in cold winter
is also a delicacy.
But this rich flavor in autumn.
It's one of a kind.
Especially, the middle-aged man's
has this ripened taste.
I thought the people of your kind
bite necks with your fangs, no?
Who does that now?
You should stay graceful.
Alright.
It already happened.
You need to drink it to survive.
Try it.
Have some.
I was not expecting this.
There are lots of things
you need to learn.
What a waste.
You should be careful after the meal.
Because...
you would become feisty.
To what extent?
Wun-chul!
Let me pass, thank you.
Is that the farthest you could run?
Should've gone farther.
To what extent?
You would beat at least
20 hollow to relax.
Control yourself.
METAMORPHOSIS
HONG XA-BIN

BANSUK WOLF
AND SHIM EUN-KYUNG
CONTRACTORS
Name?
Won-su, as in Enemy.
Funny name, isn't it?
What has he done?
Do I have to tell you?
No need to if it bothers you.
I might die unless he does.
I can't bear it anymore.
Must be a son of a bitch.
This fucker.
You know the price?
You know
we're quite a systematic team.
Here, 300K dollars for advance.
See it yourself.
No need.
Here, 100K for advance.
The rest will come
once you're done.
How much for the rest?
Will pay the balance of 300K
once the job is done.
50K.
Hey, 150K in total
is more than enough!
Okay.
- 30K.
- Thank you.
In a lump sum.
- Don't smirk, fucker.
- Thank you, sir.
Here, 3,000.
See it yourself.
What? Wait.
For real?
3,000?
It's way too small.
Don't you know
that you're a trainee?
I gotta get paid
for teaching you, dude.
Right.
Bro, for the job of this scale...
extra 20K would
motivate me more...
What about my share of it?
You think I run a charity?
Sorry.
He's a music professor at
Woo-rim Univ.
He's always at school on weekdays.
The best would be waiting
at the outdoor parking lot.
He always parks at the same spot.
No. 47 at section C.
It's an olive green Ferrari.
You can hardly miss it.
Here.
His name is Lee Won-su.
There is a university in a suburb of Seoul.
He's a music professor there.
It's...
a music professor.
This fucker is the music professor
at that famous university.
Anyway, you get that.
Right, the picture.
- Will send you later once I find it.
- Yes.
But you'd know when you see him.
Dude looks fucking pretentious
and out of place.
The client is a young girl.
And she cried out loud
saying she wants to die because of him.
Fuck, you burn his flesh
or debone...
That fucker messed with a baby...
As a father myself...
That little girl still suffers trauma.
And attempted suicide?
Anyway, fucking depressed.
So do something
about this fucker, okay?
He's always at school on weekdays.
You pick a date
and take care of him.
No. 47 at section C
in the school parking lot.
You will find a green Ferrari there.
That's his car, hard to miss.
Fucking Ferrari?
Or Porche?
Either of them.
Will tell you later.
Anyway, there's the school parking lot.
Section C.
C?
A college professor.
Handle him at the parking lot.
Anyway...
Once you wrap it up neatly,
I'll give you an extra one thousand.
You need to settle down.
Really?
So do it well, you sucker.
I will do my best!
Take care.
Don't hurt yourself.
He's a real fucker. Damn it.
Will do it when no one is around.
Over weekend, I guess.
It should be on weekdays.
Green car?
Olive green Ferrari.
That fucker, I'll kill him.
Put him in agony.
That's what's important.
Hey, where are you?
We're already here.
Hurry.
Huh?
What are you talking about?
Whatever.
Just hurry. Okay?
What is it?
He said he's almost here
and not to get surprised.
By what?
Who knows?
He said he will tell us
when he's here.
Kwon-su.
Let's talk before he comes.
Go ahead.
I think 300 bucks is
too little for contract murder.
Hey,
Sang-tae gets less than that.
He is coming to help me
only getting 100.
How can you do this to us?
You need to pay us 500 at least!
Stop nagging about money!
I told you.
If this were for money,
I wouldn't have called you.
He's a fucking bastard.
He's done all the shitty things
and got away with them.
The client tried everything
then came to us
for the last resort.
Have you ever put yourself in her shoes?
You're being so selfish today.
You were not like that.
Hey.
What the hell?
- What happened to you?
- Who are you?
Did you get an accident
on the way?
- I got a plastic surgery.
- What?
Are you okay to walk around?
Doctor said it's okay.
The surgery went well.
What did you get done?
- Holy shit.
- Fuck.
Eyes, nose, and double jaws.
Why?
You know...
For an audition.
Audition?
- What audition?
- Just an audition.
What? You usually don't
care a shit about me.
Let's hurry and get the job done.
This way, right?
Hey, look for a green car.
- No picture?
- Just a green car.
Koreans don't usually
drive green cars.
So just look for a green car.
- He must be an oddball.
- I bet.
Green means evil.
Traditionally, it's regarded bad
in Western cultures.
Is there such a thing
good or evil color?
It's a sort of superstition.
Just like we think 4 is ominous.
By the way, what kind of
audition is it, really?
Well...
It's been my dream.
Being an actor.
And as I live only once,
I want to give it a try.
- Don't you have dreams?
- Of course, I do. Being a nun.
Police officer for me.
Nun and police officer.
Nice.
Guys, let's make them happen!
We're still young.
You know 40 is the new 20
in modern days' life span.
It means we're 5th graders now.
- Sang-tae.
- Huh?
What do you think about the fact
we only get 100 for this job?
Nothing we can do.
We don't do this for the sake of money.
- You don't?
- No.
Of course, I need money.
I'm broke.
I borrowed some money
for this surgery too.
But this job means a lot.
That's why I came out
while the doctor told me to stay in.
He's the devil, right?
The world will get better
once he's dead, won't it?
It just doesn't feel right
to argue about money over this.
It's not cool.
Anyway, Kwon-su, thank you.
All these experiences will become
the foundation for me
as an actor.
Well, will try to ask for more
once we finish the job.
Guess I would be able to
get extra 500 at least.
Really? Are you sure?
Of course! I can try!
Right! Asking doesn't harm.
You can just give it a try!
That's the only green car, right?
Yes.
Guys.
There's one thing
I haven't told you.
There was a request.
Not to kill at once
but to make him suffer
until the very end.
She must've suffered a lot
because of that scumbag.
Let's make it right today.
Don't be weak!
He's here.
Where?
- It's a woman.
- A woman can be evil.
Don't judge by appearance.
I heard that
she's fucking pretentious.
Looks decent but nasty inside.
Let's go! Hurry!
Does this car belong to you?
Yeah...
Do you work at this college?
Pardon? Well...
You're going home now?
Yes...?
Then there's no mistaking.
What...
Who are you?
Are you students?
Please...
Don't come near!
Fuck!
You stop right there!
Stop!
We did it!
Faster than we thought!
Did you guys know
that we would succeed?
I had no idea even she is a she!
- I felt dizzy when she hit me!
- Is your face okay?
We're not doing this for money!
What did she say?
Did you get that?
She offered us the money.
That scumbag!
Oh, the head goes here.
Who wants to start?
Fuck.
Turn off your phones
while on duty.
It's not mine.
- Not mine, either.
- Really.
But it's not mine.
It's her mom.
Mom?
What are you saying?
Say it clearly, damn it.
Mom! Mom...
Please...
Please let me talk to her.
- Hey, come here.
- Ma... Please...
What if she called the cop?
It's strange her mom
calls at this moment.
That's what mothers do.
They call you out of the blue.
Guys, I think this is the chance.
To test her.
- Test what?
- Her personality.
We can immediately see
if it's a lie or not.
- What if it's a lie?
- We can kill her right away.
Oh god...
What's your password?
Hey.
- You!
- Yes, sir.
If you try to say anything stupid,
will kill you and your parents too.
Got it?
Will tell nothing.
Never. I promise.
So-min? Hello?
Ma... mom?
Are you still at school?
I called you earlier.
Huh? I'm not at school.
So you left already.
Have you had dinner?
Huh? Yeah...
How about you?
Sure I did.
You sound a bit strange.
Are you sick?
You caught a cold?
No! What?
I caught no cold.
Nothing's wrong with my voice.
I'm okay.
Cover yourself while sleeping.
It's cold at night.
When you catch a cold,
it takes long for you to get well.
I called you to come over
for dinner if you were at school.
- Ma... mom!
- I'll hang up.
Mom? Are you there?
Why?
I'm still here. Tell me.
It's just... I was so happy
to be your daughter.
What is it with you?
I just mean it.
What happened?
Is something wrong?
No, nothing.
It's just... I saw a movie.
It was so touching.
And made me think of
you and Dad.
I just love you and dad so much.
Me, too.
I love you, my girl.
Mom?
Yeah?
You will...
live long healthily, right?
Of course.
Will live happily ever after with you!
You coming on next weekend?
I'll cook bulgogi, your favorite.
Of course.
So-min, keep yourself warm.
You sound bad.
I'm okay.
It's because of the movie.
Got it. Then take care.
Drive safe.
You know...
I didn't believe in god.
But seeing you in front of me...
I think god must've
listened to my prayers.
- What did you ask?
- To take me...
to my daughter in Heaven.
I can happily die now.
- Thank you.
- What the...
I'm so grateful.
- So her daughter died.
- Guess so.
- Mom...
- No, no. Stop it.
We're being too sentimental now.
Let's get to the job.
Who goes first?
Sang-tae, you go.
I'll do it later.
Then Sun-young
you stab her first.
We'll kill her
within today, you know.
The money she offered earlier...
How about taking it first
then killing her?
The request was
to make her suffer.
Why rush?
Honestly it keeps bothering me
to kill someone for only 300.
- 300?
- Hey!
Yes... 300.
Because we get...
100 each...
So total 300, right?
100 or 300, whatever.
Sang-tae, does money
mean nothing to you really?
I've never said that.
That's what I'm talking about.
We can take the money from her, right?
It's not forbidden or anything.
300...
So how much do you fucking have?
You mean money?
Yes! You said
you would give us the money!
Money...
How much do you want?
- 3K.
- Hey!
- 30K!
- Right!
Okay.
I will give you
all the money I've got.
There's a banking app
on my phone.
It asks for your password.
Oh, S-E-K.
In capital or small letters?
Will you try the capital
for the first letter?
Better be correct!
- Captal for S...
- It must be right.
And small letters for E and K?
That's right.
S-E-K...
- S-E...
- You fucking stammer!
- S-E-K...
- @ 5-6-4-8.
Then?
Exclamation mark.
- Its says no.
- No...
- Incorrect?
- No way! It's correct!
I put it in the memo pad.
I saved everything there.
Where is the memo pad?
Is this the one?
Yes.
There.
By the way...
are you sure
I'm the one to kill?
I just... don't understand why.
Because you drive the green car.
Green car? Huh?
Still incorrect.
You're a professor but
you've done shits to the kids!
We know everything.
- Professor?
- Yes.
Professor...
I'm not the professor!
I mean it!
I just work at administration office!
Yeah, administration!
That's your department!
How does it...
Administration is not...
I am not a professor!
Professors don't work at administration!
I'm telling the truth!
Our target was a professor?
Didn't I tell you?
No, you just told us
to look for the green car.
No way, I explained
everything at the beginning.
No, you didn't.
I didn't?
No, you dumb ass.
Okay, I didn't.
But what if she is
a fucking professor?
- Hey, call the college.
- Why?
To check.
I don't have the number.
The school's number is...
031-023-2373.
Call and check.
Shut the fuck up!
Call.
I said call, Kwon-su.
Okay. I'll call.
No problem.
I'll call the school and check.
And if you're a fucking professor
I'll kill you right away, okay?
This is the moment
I've been scared of most.
Did you expect this?
She's a woman and mother.
Something felt off
the moment I saw her first.
Things go wrong
because of people like you.
You should've tried to straighten things
if you sensed something was off.
You're saying it's my fault?
What I'm saying is
you are no different from Kwon-su.
And what makes you think
you're so different?
You're the same!
Hey, wait!
I'm getting through!
Damn asshole.
I am not a professor.
I swear.
They said I'm not, right?
Fuck, they don't answer
as it is weekend.
Fuck, why don't they answer?
I just wanted to
make the world a better place...
but I feel trapped.
Excuse me, if...
I give you all the money I've got...
are you willing to let me live?
How much you've got?
I've got 300K in my account.
It's my daughter's death benefit
and I haven't touched it.
Just let me go.
You know that I'm not your target.
You are young, good and innocent.
Don't do this.
You'll get punished!
You're committing a sin!
I'll give you 100K each.
100K to each of you.
100K? Really?
Yes, 100K.
And you can swear
that you're not a professor?
Yes, I can!
How many times
should I tell you?
Oh god.
I think I know who it is.
Must be that fucker.
I'm sure.
He's a dean.
And got damn many cars.
Even the green one.
He's a real fucker!
He walks over people.
Also embezzles money!
I'm sure he's the one.
There are so many people
who want to kill him!
Sir, I know everything about him.
Address, phone number
and family information, all!
He's so weak as he's too old.
It would be a piece of cake.
And because of that fucker...
my daughter died.
What has he done to her?
Lee Jong-se, that fucker!
I came to work on weekends
to take care of his expenses!
If only we could go to
the hospital then...
His name is Lee Jeong-se?
No, Lee Jong-se!
J-O-N-G!
Lee Jong-se.
Fuck...
This one looks decent, too.
That's what we heard.
Yeah.
But does something bad to kids...
I am so ruined.
I should've died.
- Is he the one?
- Yes!
He's the guy.
This bastard.
That's right.
I feel bad for her.
Young-hee.
I think my daughter sent you here
asking you to avenge her death.
I beg you...
Kill this bastard.
He's the real devil.
I will give you the money...
No, everything I've got.
Just take it!
I'll give you everything.
Just kill this fucker!
Kwon-su, what do you think?
Young-hee, my girl.
And you promise
to give us the money?
Yes!
Why don't you trust me?
How many times
do I have to tell you?
Okay.
Then tell us the details.
Well...
100 thousand...
and 34.35 dollars!
Everything's okay?
- You all received it?
- Yes!
It's done!
- Can I go now?
- Sure!
- Are you okay with wounds?
- Sure.
- Let me help you.
- No, I'm fine!
We sincerely apologize.
No way.
Everyone makes mistakes.
You know this dean...
Just take care of him.
We'll make sure to kill
this fucker Lee Jong-se.
I'm counting on you.
Also please stay healthy.
- Take care!
- Drive safe!
Take care!
- Ciao!
- Bye!
Please get well soon!
Wow, 100K!
- Hey, Karim!
- Hi!
- You're here!
- Hello, bro!
Karim.
- You came quick.
- Sang-tae, what's wrong with your face?
It's nothing.
Thank you for coming so quickly.
It's you guys.
I should come.
Karim, there's a special job...
That you can only do.
Nobody else can do it.
How much?
Karim, it's a really meaningful job.
- You're a good person, right?
- I guess so.
This job is bigger than money.
So...
He's the evil of worst description.
I heard about him and...
he did all those wicked things!
You think it's going well?
He should cut prices
as much as possible.
50 dollars would be nice.
We should nip it in the bud
to make the world a better place.
We're in this together!
Those little ones...
We should nip it in the bud!
Okay, I'll treat you beef!
Take care!
Make sure to take care of it!
- Okay, bye!
- Bye!
So long!
- How did it go?
- All went well. He's such a good boy.
Nice!
Let's eat something nice
when we're fucking rich.
Right, how much do we have?
Let's eat something expensive.
What are your plans for tomorrow?
I'll sign up for the classes of
the civil service exam.
- For being a police officer?
- You can even get the room to study.
Sure! How about you?
First...
- I'll go to the church and pray.
- Pray.
Then I'll do some
volunteer works for a while.
That's nice too.
Sang-tae, I guess you need to
receive the revision surgery.
This case happened in 2019 came to an end as the last
subcontractor, foreigner A reported to the police.
Woman B, accidentally dragged into the case,
was also arrested for soliciting a murder.
It is known that A reported not for the contract
killing but for the violation of the minimum wages act.
TAVERN
President PARK attended
the completion ceremony of
Sapgyo Lake Seawall
in Dang-jin, Chungnam Province.
President expressed his satisfaction
with the facility
and praised public service workers
for their hard works.
OH YEON-A
JANG HYUN-SUNG
KIM MIN
PARK SANG-MYUN - LEE JUN-HYUK
KIM SOO-JIN - JUN SUK-HO
It's you again.
As usual.
EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR THE MAN
It got a bit chilly, right?
I don't see the granny today.
My mom went to Iri.
To attend my cousin's wedding.
She comes back early tomorrow.
She's just 20 now
and hit it off with her teacher.
Her folks were against the marriage
but the couple was inseparable.
I'll join you tonight.
It's not fun drinking alone, right?
Here.
It's the merit of working alone!
Isn't that right?
This is a fine stuff.
Straight from the sea.
We usually keep it for family.
But I'm making an exception
for my handsome customer.
Try it.
Miss...
are you married?
Why do you ask?
Wanna arrange a match for me?
Just curious.
I always wanted to ask.
What is this painting?
No idea.
Picked it up
at the junk shop next door.
I just like it.
Looks like it's a foreign country.
America maybe?
Not sure.
That man in hat showing his back...
Doesn't he look like
waiting for someone?
Just like someone here!
You're waiting for
someone, aren't you?
Am I?
It's been already 2 weeks.
A stranger
who suddenly started to come
everyday at the same hour alone.
Isn't it strange?
Who is that?
That you're so eagerly waiting for?
Is she pretty?
So, it's a girl.
I'm not done talking.
Where are you going?
To the john!
It's on the right side of entrance.
Oh, you are here!
You filthy bastard!
No, it's not what you think.
What do I think?
Well, it's...
Damn moron.
You're on stakeout!
You slacker!
What kind of detective
jerks off during a stakeout?
- It's not what you think, I said.
- You liar.
I saw you taking it out.
Already 2 weeks passed.
I don't think that bastard is here.
The only thing we know is that
his name is Yum Sang-go
and he's got a narcissus tattoo
on his left shoulder.
His hometown, age, address
and signalment all unknown!
We won't be able to catch him
or recognize him
even if he turns up before us.
He'll definitely show up.
And it's chief's special order.
Catch him no matter what.
Dead or alive.
Sir...
How about digging other places?
He will definitely come to that place.
Yum Sang-go.
Did you take a shit?
What took you so long?
Welcome.
What should I get you?
Are you the owner?
Yes.
Whatever you got.
That's right.
Nothing so far, sir.
Detective Choi is inside.
Yes, both of us are fully loaded.
Of course, sir.
No one except us knows about this.
Yes, sir! Of course, sir!
Fuck... there's not a soul in sight.
Whom is he pressing us to catch?
Damn stupid codger.
Is he from this town?
No.
He said he came to work
at the construction site nearby.
Since when?
About 2 weeks ago.
Have you...
seen any tattoos
on his left shoulder?
Like... a narcissus tattoo.
- Narcissus tattoo?
- Shush!
Did you see it?
The tattoo?
How could I?
We are not that intimate.
- How about his name?
- Name?
Yeah, his name!
Yum Sang-go!
Has anyone with that name come here?
I've never heard of it.
Hey, mister!
Why don't you join us
when you're on your own?
It's almost the curfew.
- And I already drank a lot.
- Fuck!
Can you call yourself a man
when you're afraid of a curfew?
You're way too interested in a stranger.
I couldn't help it.
The guy who was drinking alone
started throwing away
his drinks on the quiet
since we came in.
Hey, come join us!
Sir?
What is it?
What are you doing here?
It's almost the curfew hour.
I'm a policeman from Seoul.
Go away.
Show me your ID, please.
Oh, gosh...
What did you just say?
Show me your ID...
Satisfied now?
- Read the fucking air.
- I am sorry.
Even a hillbilly constable
should know when to butt in!
I apologize.
I'm on a special mission.
Go away, will you?
Sir.
What now?
May I ask...
about the mission?
What's wrong with you?
I should report to the station
about what happens in our precinct.
You nutjob...
Want some serious troubles?
I apologize.
Damn... fucking moron.
I believe you are looking for...
Looking for what, fucker!
Yum Sang-go...
What?
What is it? What is this?
Fucking moron...
So you're looking for
a guy named Yum Sang-go.
Then let me ask you one thing.
That man... Yum Sang-go.
What is he like?
A dreadful bastard.
One hell of a killer!
One hell of a killer!
The price on his head
is enormous, too.
So many hunters are chasing
to kill him.
And are you one of them?
We are professionals.
Entirely different from
those thugs.
That bastard
everyone is waiting for.
I'm so curious what he looks like.
No one knows.
Whoever saw his face
all died.
Then how can you find him
not knowing what he looks like?
Narcissus tattoo.
He has that on his left shoulder.
And you are saying
he will come here tonight?
For sure!
Before midnight...
You got the wrong intel
as it's midnight soon.
You never know.
He might be already here.
Now it's your turn to answer.
Are you Yum Sang-go?
Well...
are you satisfied now?
It's curfew hour.
Isn't it?
Who am I talking to?
I'm asking what you're doing here
when it's past the curfew!
Answer me!
Are you all deaf?
Hello?
Hold on, please.
He wants to talk to
one of you two.
Speaking.
Miss...
Lock this place up, quick.
- Excuse me?
- Now!
Okay.
We have in here...
Yum Sang-go!
Look at these bastards.
Are you out of your minds?
Dare to point your guns
at a police officer?
You're not a police officer!
Firearms are not supplied
to a mere constable.
So you must be either Yum
or someone came to kill him.
Neither we nor this fella is Yum.
It means you're Yum.
So drop your gun
or you're a dead meat!
I am not Yum Sang-go!
Prove it!
Fuck... then who the hell is him!
Show yourself!
If none of us is Yum...
Quite slow-witted.
All of you...
Shame you have to go.
I kinda liked you.
Are you cold?
Don't look up.
You're dead if you see my face.
Oh, you're here early.
Mom.
In 1979, a bullet penetrated
the heart of darkness.
But...
the darkness didn't die away.
The underground city
of the urban legend
that may or may not exist.
The place for
the refugees, the outlaws,
the illegal aliens and the exiles.
We call it 'Diaspora City.'
OFF LIMITS
Was it because I've lived
underground too long?
That day, I dashed with the hammer
in a fit of helpless feeling.
To smash the radio on the counter
that played the gibberish
throughout the year.
I somehow hoped
the thing would be different.
But soon, I realized that
it was an empty hope
only after turning
the tuner a few times.
The music from
the old cassette player
that I accidentally pressed to play
made me smile
after a long while.
It was 1000 days anniversary
of Diaspora City,
the non-existent city.
On that day like other days,
Voice who can't speak
and Smile who can't smile
This way! Voice who can't
speak and Smile who can't smile
were arguing over where to hang
the celebration placard.
If they had not come that day,
that scene would've remained
as one from our daily life.
When the clock which was 10 mins fast
just passed 5:30pm,
they came in.
They're in identical outfits
with sunglasses,
long trench coats
that cowboys would wear
and military boots.
Looking as ridiculous as C-list comedians,
they ordered me to keep silent.
The rain must have stopped
in the outside world.
- That is a hole.
- That is a hole.
Not that kind of hole
that you might think of
when you hear the word.
The only opening through which
we get the peep of the outside world.
- Since we came here
- Since we came here
we couldn't tell
the day from the night
and thought we were deprived of
the right to enjoy the light.
But with that,
we now can tell
the night from the day.
People here call it a hole,
but for me it's a cinema.
Where I could occasionally dream.
In this shitty place,
where the stench
of depressing sweat
and sewage stagnate
like glacial ascetic acid,
people dream through that hole.
No, maybe,
we've been peeping through the hole,
hoping everyday would pass
without any trouble.
You!
Why do you look so rigid?
You should greet a customer
with a smile, that's the manner!
Got a problem with us here?
Want me to rip your mouth
so that you can smile ear to ear?
How many are you here?
Pardon?
We don't serve that...
And you're deaf, too?
He said how many of you work here!
Smile!
What are they up to?
Why do they
tell us to come and go?
No idea. You know?
Not sure, maybe for a souvenir photo?
The minute I saw the hammer,
I instantly foresaw the rise of trouble
even though I couldn't tell when.
Gather here quick!
Something that can't be withdrawn
like a lit fuse.
SMILE
Your name is Smile?
There was a bulletin on me
at my previous workplace.
'Why doesn't he smile at all?'
Someone accused me of not smiling
for some anti-state reasons.
Interesting.
- Here goes a pop quiz!
- Pop quiz!
We have recently welcomed
a new state leader.
He declared the merge of press
for the country's unison
as well as...
the eradication of instigators
nonetheless the number
to realize a society of justice!
He also emphasized the sacrifice
of us tightening our belts
to finally realize
the long-anticipated...
world peace.
Here goes the quiz.
If our leader comes here today
you'd welcome him with a warm smile?
I should smile, naturally.
Then show your smile.
- Smile.
- Smile.
- Now.
- Now.
Voice who can't speak...
VOICE Voice who can't speak...
Then I guess you've got
an issue with your trap.
Right?
Sunshine.
You're Sunshine.
What does it mean?
Stupid.
You dreamt too much
when you shouldn't have.
You're a dreamer, right?
We are here today...
And when they paused,
as if drawn by a force,
my hand reached out
for the hammer.
Wait!
But what I had in my hand was...
Are you pausing...
for the dramatic effects for
the next important speech?
- Just the air...
- She's shiny.
That's why she's called Sunshine.
I told you not to talk stupid.
Stupid? I told you
not to call me stupid!
We are here today
to kill someone
who comes here everyday
at 6 o'clock sharp.
Not a single second late!
And orders the same menu.
Roast pork with apple sauce
and mashed potato.
At six o'clock sharp...
Someone who comes everyday...
Orders same food
and takes the same seat!
Are you going to kill him?
Kill?
We'll kill him!
Hey, it's me!
Your brother, Jong-se.
He who has killed other people
knows he can be
killed at any minute.
That's why he's
always on edge like this.
They assaulted like occupation forces,
and acted like loutish gangs,
and now are pettifogging.
Who are they?
Then what's next?
What next?
Well, suppose you kill that man.
Then what would happen to us?
That's what we'd like to know.
After that... Well...
What are we going to do?
Don't call me stupid again!
What shall we do?
What's next?
The next is...
After that...
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
They were neither C-list comedians
nor elegant audiences.
Not even the thugs.
Saying they grip their guns tighter
with the pride to contribute
for a peaceful and clean society,
they were cheap authors
and the killers.
Nonetheless...
like we promised to each other
to say and do nothing,
we just stood there frozen
as if posing for a picture.
But at that moment!
I remembered they didn't know
the clock was 10 minutes fast.
Wait!
What has he done to you?
He didn't even have a chance.
We haven't met!
We'll meet
for the first and last time.
They have never met each other.
And if we say and do
nothing to him...
Nothing will happen to you!
So! I mean!
He always comes here
at 6 o'clock.
Always on time.
- But!
- But?
- But not everyday.
- Not everyday?
Anyway he comes at 6, right?
And one more thing.
That clock!
Other people will also come
as it is dinner time.
And we'll have more people
as today's an anniversary.
What shall we do with them?
We only got 2 minutes.
Oh my god!
What about telling everyone
the kitchen's closed today?
Damn, 1 minute left!
Wait!
Let go of me!
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
My feet moved against myself
when the clock hit 6.
Don't intervene in things like this.
Smile said with his hand.
Then, it happened in a flash.
The gun landed in our hand.
Isn't it past 6?
Sir, that clock is...
- 10 minutes...
- 20 minutes fast!
- 20 minutes fast?
- I was trying to tell you.
So technically
it's not 6 yet, it is 5...
It is 5:40... no, 30.
We still got plenty of time.
Shall we eat something?
I'm hungry.
You get hungry now?
You stupid...
- What was that? Roast pork...
- With apple sauce...
- That's available from 6.
- But it is 6!
Told you that clock is
20 minutes fast.
Jeez!
What the...
Heard of the schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia as if
someone's splitting your mind?
Right, my sister suffers from it.
You see there's a flow
in a conversation.
But she doesn't have that!
Hover between reality and delusion.
One day, she told me not to drink
from this kettle saying it's poisoned.
I usually laugh her off but
it strangely upset me that day.
I can relate.
You get sensitive
- and uncontrollable over nothing.
- So I decided to kill her.
Think about it.
If she dies
I won't have to take care of her.
Or beat my gums like this.
So I plotted a perfect murder,
flawless from method to alibi.
Then?
But you don't have a sister.
What I'm saying is...
there's poison in this kettle!
Where are they?
Come back tomorrow!
Not today, tomorrow!
10-minute-fast clock was
approaching 6 o'clock.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Now.
Our plan was this.
I'd kick the killer's chairs to fall.
Three...
Two...
One!
Voice glared at me
pressing for an action,
but my feet didn't obey my mind.
- It's a ping pong ball.
- Sir.
It's 6 o'clock sharp.
We still got 10 minutes.
Did you smile?
Did you?
It's 6 o'clock!
Are you deaf or what?
She talks! Look!
Bastards!
They can smile, talk and kick!
You think I'm stupid?
Damn... should I just kill you all?
Let go of me.
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
Die!
What's next?
What's next?
I rather believe in aliens.
We can't be the only ones
in this universe.
My grandma said she saw a ghost
while shitting on the toilet
just before giving birth to my mom.
As she's never lied,
I believe she did see it.
Also...
I believe vampires exist
as I encountered one myself.

I will change.
I promise I'll be good.
Change how?
A leopard can't change its spots.
But I can, I can change!
Really?
Don't try too hard.
Master has already given up on you.
Why did you pocket so petty
over and over?
You should've made off
with the good share.
Why hurt each other
by being so clumsy and bad?
So embarrassing.
No! There must've been
some misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
Huh?
I hear you.
Wait a sec, okay?
CALLER: ALICE
Yes.
Right, I get it.
I guess so.
What?
No way.
A leopard can't change its spots
you know.
I confirm.
Please handle it with care.
And, when it's done,
come join me for soju.
Ciao.
I got the master's confirmation.
Told us to handle it with care.
Chang-joong...
You know we are like a family!
I am really sorry.
I must've fallen asleep.
How long did I sleep?
Just a little while, sir.
I am sorry.
Let me use the bathroom.
Strange.
How did I get here?
Here. Drink it.
Doesn't it bother you?
Hold still.
Relax.
Drink it.
It's called Manhattan.
It would make you at ease.
You are so lucky, sir.
Listen.
I just don't know
what this place is about.
MOONLIT NIGHYou don't like it?
I don't really have...
a sweet tooth.
I like Martinis.
How did you have that
on the back?
Gosh...
It looked so painful.
It made me feel like
saving a human for the first time.
Can I ask you something?
Sure.
You are open, right?
Let's sit here.
Let me go wash my hands.
Sure.
Do you have the single malt?
And...
something girls might like?
Sweet yet strong one.
How do you like it here?
Be more casual with me,
Mr. director.
I'm not really good at that.
Do you like to drink?
Yeah.
Movie directors should be
strong drinkers.
Drinking makes you smart
and good at alluring people.
Alluring is what we do.
You don't need to drink.
You're already so cool.
Thanks.
Glad to hear.
Great.
I think we've found him, master.
Thank you.
Looks so tasty.
I feel good...
Here.
This should be even better.
You know the blood...
tastes better in autumn.
More flavorful.
The blood in cold winter
is also a delicacy.
But this rich flavor in autumn.
It's one of a kind.
Especially, the middle-aged man's
has this ripened taste.
I thought the people of your kind
bite necks with your fangs, no?
Who does that now?
You should stay graceful.
Alright.
It already happened.
You need to drink it to survive.
Try it.
Have some.
I was not expecting this.
There are lots of things
you need to learn.
What a waste.
You should be careful after the meal.
Because...
you would become feisty.
To what extent?
Wun-chul!
Let me pass, thank you.
Is that the farthest you could run?
Should've gone farther.
To what extent?
You would beat at least
20 hollow to relax.
Control yourself.

Name?
Won-su, as in Enemy.
Funny name, isn't it?
What has he done?
Do I have to tell you?
No need to if it bothers you.
I might die unless he does.
I can't bear it anymore.
Must be a son of a bitch.
This fucker.
You know the price?
You know
we're quite a systematic team.
Here, 300K dollars for advance.
See it yourself.
No need.
Here, 100K for advance.
The rest will come
once you're done.
How much for the rest?
Will pay the balance of 300K
once the job is done.
50K.
Hey, 150K in total
is more than enough!
Okay.
- 30K.
- Thank you.
In a lump sum.
- Don't smirk, fucker.
- Thank you, sir.
Here, 3,000.
See it yourself.
What? Wait.
For real?
3,000?
It's way too small.
Don't you know
that you're a trainee?
I gotta get paid
for teaching you, dude.
Right.
Bro, for the job of this scale...
extra 20K would
motivate me more...
What about my share of it?
You think I run a charity?
Sorry.
He's a music professor at
Woo-rim Univ.
He's always at school on weekdays.
The best would be waiting
at the outdoor parking lot.
He always parks at the same spot.
No. 47 at section C.
It's an olive green Ferrari.
You can hardly miss it.
Here.
His name is Lee Won-su.
There is a university in a suburb of Seoul.
He's a music professor there.
It's...
a music professor.
This fucker is the music professor
at that famous university.
Anyway, you get that.
Right, the picture.
- Will send you later once I find it.
- Yes.
But you'd know when you see him.
Dude looks fucking pretentious
and out of place.
The client is a young girl.
And she cried out loud
saying she wants to die because of him.
Fuck, you burn his flesh
or debone...
That fucker messed with a baby...
As a father myself...
That little girl still suffers trauma.
And attempted suicide?
Anyway, fucking depressed.
So do something
about this fucker, okay?
He's always at school on weekdays.
You pick a date
and take care of him.
No. 47 at section C
in the school parking lot.
You will find a green Ferrari there.
That's his car, hard to miss.
Fucking Ferrari?
Or Porche?
Either of them.
Will tell you later.
Anyway, there's the school parking lot.
Section C.
C?
A college professor.
Handle him at the parking lot.
Anyway...
Once you wrap it up neatly,
I'll give you an extra one thousand.
You need to settle down.
Really?
So do it well, you sucker.
I will do my best!
Take care.
Don't hurt yourself.
He's a real fucker. Damn it.
Will do it when no one is around.
Over weekend, I guess.
It should be on weekdays.
Green car?
Olive green Ferrari.
That fucker, I'll kill him.
Put him in agony.
That's what's important.
Hey, where are you?
We're already here.
Hurry.
Huh?
What are you talking about?
Whatever.
Just hurry. Okay?
What is it?
He said he's almost here
and not to get surprised.
By what?
Who knows?
He said he will tell us
when he's here.
Kwon-su.
Let's talk before he comes.
Go ahead.
I think 300 bucks is
too little for contract murder.
Hey,
Sang-tae gets less than that.
He is coming to help me
only getting 100.
How can you do this to us?
You need to pay us 500 at least!
Stop nagging about money!
I told you.
If this were for money,
I wouldn't have called you.
He's a fucking bastard.
He's done all the shitty things
and got away with them.
The client tried everything
then came to us
for the last resort.
Have you ever put yourself in her shoes?
You're being so selfish today.
You were not like that.
Hey.
What the hell?
- What happened to you?
- Who are you?
Did you get an accident
on the way?
- I got a plastic surgery.
- What?
Are you okay to walk around?
Doctor said it's okay.
The surgery went well.
What did you get done?
- Holy shit.
- Fuck.
Eyes, nose, and double jaws.
Why?
You know...
For an audition.
Audition?
- What audition?
- Just an audition.
What? You usually don't
care a shit about me.
Let's hurry and get the job done.
This way, right?
Hey, look for a green car.
- No picture?
- Just a green car.
Koreans don't usually
drive green cars.
So just look for a green car.
- He must be an oddball.
- I bet.
Green means evil.
Traditionally, it's regarded bad
in Western cultures.
Is there such a thing
good or evil color?
It's a sort of superstition.
Just like we think 4 is ominous.
By the way, what kind of
audition is it, really?
Well...
It's been my dream.
Being an actor.
And as I live only once,
I want to give it a try.
- Don't you have dreams?
- Of course, I do. Being a nun.
Police officer for me.
Nun and police officer.
Nice.
Guys, let's make them happen!
We're still young.
You know 40 is the new 20
in modern days' life span.
It means we're 5th graders now.
- Sang-tae.
- Huh?
What do you think about the fact
we only get 100 for this job?
Nothing we can do.
We don't do this for the sake of money.
- You don't?
- No.
Of course, I need money.
I'm broke.
I borrowed some money
for this surgery too.
But this job means a lot.
That's why I came out
while the doctor told me to stay in.
He's the devil, right?
The world will get better
once he's dead, won't it?
It just doesn't feel right
to argue about money over this.
It's not cool.
Anyway, Kwon-su, thank you.
All these experiences will become
the foundation for me
as an actor.
Well, will try to ask for more
once we finish the job.
Guess I would be able to
get extra 500 at least.
Really? Are you sure?
Of course! I can try!
Right! Asking doesn't harm.
You can just give it a try!
That's the only green car, right?
Yes.
Guys.
There's one thing
I haven't told you.
There was a request.
Not to kill at once
but to make him suffer
until the very end.
She must've suffered a lot
because of that scumbag.
Let's make it right today.
Don't be weak!
He's here.
Where?
- It's a woman.
- A woman can be evil.
Don't judge by appearance.
I heard that
she's fucking pretentious.
Looks decent but nasty inside.
Let's go! Hurry!
Does this car belong to you?
Yeah...
Do you work at this college?
Pardon? Well...
You're going home now?
Yes...?
Then there's no mistaking.
What...
Who are you?
Are you students?
Please...
Don't come near!
Fuck!
You stop right there!
Stop!
We did it!
Faster than we thought!
Did you guys know
that we would succeed?
I had no idea even she is a she!
- I felt dizzy when she hit me!
- Is your face okay?
We're not doing this for money!
What did she say?
Did you get that?
She offered us the money.
That scumbag!
Oh, the head goes here.
Who wants to start?
Fuck.
Turn off your phones
while on duty.
It's not mine.
- Not mine, either.
- Really.
But it's not mine.
It's her mom.
Mom?
What are you saying?
Say it clearly, damn it.
Mom! Mom...
Please...
Please let me talk to her.
- Hey, come here.
- Ma... Please...
What if she called the cop?
It's strange her mom
calls at this moment.
That's what mothers do.
They call you out of the blue.
Guys, I think this is the chance.
To test her.
- Test what?
- Her personality.
We can immediately see
if it's a lie or not.
- What if it's a lie?
- We can kill her right away.
Oh god...
What's your password?
Hey.
- You!
- Yes, sir.
If you try to say anything stupid,
will kill you and your parents too.
Got it?
Will tell nothing.
Never. I promise.
So-min? Hello?
Ma... mom?
Are you still at school?
I called you earlier.
Huh? I'm not at school.
So you left already.
Have you had dinner?
Huh? Yeah...
How about you?
Sure I did.
You sound a bit strange.
Are you sick?
You caught a cold?
No! What?
I caught no cold.
Nothing's wrong with my voice.
I'm okay.
Cover yourself while sleeping.
It's cold at night.
When you catch a cold,
it takes long for you to get well.
I called you to come over
for dinner if you were at school.
- Ma... mom!
- I'll hang up.
Mom? Are you there?
Why?
I'm still here. Tell me.
It's just... I was so happy
to be your daughter.
What is it with you?
I just mean it.
What happened?
Is something wrong?
No, nothing.
It's just... I saw a movie.
It was so touching.
And made me think of
you and Dad.
I just love you and dad so much.
Me, too.
I love you, my girl.
Mom?
Yeah?
You will...
live long healthily, right?
Of course.
Will live happily ever after with you!
You coming on next weekend?
I'll cook bulgogi, your favorite.
Of course.
So-min, keep yourself warm.
You sound bad.
I'm okay.
It's because of the movie.
Got it. Then take care.
Drive safe.
You know...
I didn't believe in god.
But seeing you in front of me...
I think god must've
listened to my prayers.
- What did you ask?
- To take me...
to my daughter in Heaven.
I can happily die now.
- Thank you.
- What the...
I'm so grateful.
- So her daughter died.
- Guess so.
- Mom...
- No, no. Stop it.
We're being too sentimental now.
Let's get to the job.
Who goes first?
Sang-tae, you go.
I'll do it later.
Then Sun-young
you stab her first.
We'll kill her
within today, you know.
The money she offered earlier...
How about taking it first
then killing her?
The request was
to make her suffer.
Why rush?
Honestly it keeps bothering me
to kill someone for only 300.
- 300?
- Hey!
Yes... 300.
Because we get...
100 each...
So total 300, right?
100 or 300, whatever.
Sang-tae, does money
mean nothing to you really?
I've never said that.
That's what I'm talking about.
We can take the money from her, right?
It's not forbidden or anything.
300...
So how much do you fucking have?
You mean money?
Yes! You said
you would give us the money!
Money...
How much do you want?
- 3K.
- Hey!
- 30K!
- Right!
Okay.
I will give you
all the money I've got.
There's a banking app
on my phone.
It asks for your password.
Oh, S-E-K.
In capital or small letters?
Will you try the capital
for the first letter?
Better be correct!
- Captal for S...
- It must be right.
And small letters for E and K?
That's right.
S-E-K...
- S-E...
- You fucking stammer!
- S-E-K...
- @ 5-6-4-8.
Then?
Exclamation mark.
- Its says no.
- No...
- Incorrect?
- No way! It's correct!
I put it in the memo pad.
I saved everything there.
Where is the memo pad?
Is this the one?
Yes.
There.
By the way...
are you sure
I'm the one to kill?
I just... don't understand why.
Because you drive the green car.
Green car? Huh?
Still incorrect.
You're a professor but
you've done shits to the kids!
We know everything.
- Professor?
- Yes.
Professor...
I'm not the professor!
I mean it!
I just work at administration office!
Yeah, administration!
That's your department!
How does it...
Administration is not...
I am not a professor!
Professors don't work at administration!
I'm telling the truth!
Our target was a professor?
Didn't I tell you?
No, you just told us
to look for the green car.
No way, I explained
everything at the beginning.
No, you didn't.
I didn't?
No, you dumb ass.
Okay, I didn't.
But what if she is
a fucking professor?
- Hey, call the college.
- Why?
To check.
I don't have the number.
The school's number is...
031-023-2373.
Call and check.
Shut the fuck up!
Call.
I said call, Kwon-su.
Okay. I'll call.
No problem.
I'll call the school and check.
And if you're a fucking professor
I'll kill you right away, okay?
This is the moment
I've been scared of most.
Did you expect this?
She's a woman and mother.
Something felt off
the moment I saw her first.
Things go wrong
because of people like you.
You should've tried to straighten things
if you sensed something was off.
You're saying it's my fault?
What I'm saying is
you are no different from Kwon-su.
And what makes you think
you're so different?
You're the same!
Hey, wait!
I'm getting through!
Damn asshole.
I am not a professor.
I swear.
They said I'm not, right?
Fuck, they don't answer
as it is weekend.
Fuck, why don't they answer?
I just wanted to
make the world a better place...
but I feel trapped.
Excuse me, if...
I give you all the money I've got...
are you willing to let me live?
How much you've got?
I've got 300K in my account.
It's my daughter's death benefit
and I haven't touched it.
Just let me go.
You know that I'm not your target.
You are young, good and innocent.
Don't do this.
You'll get punished!
You're committing a sin!
I'll give you 100K each.
100K to each of you.
100K? Really?
Yes, 100K.
And you can swear
that you're not a professor?
Yes, I can!
How many times
should I tell you?
Oh god.
I think I know who it is.
Must be that fucker.
I'm sure.
He's a dean.
And got damn many cars.
Even the green one.
He's a real fucker!
He walks over people.
Also embezzles money!
I'm sure he's the one.
There are so many people
who want to kill him!
Sir, I know everything about him.
Address, phone number
and family information, all!
He's so weak as he's too old.
It would be a piece of cake.
And because of that fucker...
my daughter died.
What has he done to her?
Lee Jong-se, that fucker!
I came to work on weekends
to take care of his expenses!
If only we could go to
the hospital then...
His name is Lee Jeong-se?
No, Lee Jong-se!
J-O-N-G!
Lee Jong-se.
Fuck...
This one looks decent, too.
That's what we heard.
Yeah.
But does something bad to kids...
I am so ruined.
I should've died.
- Is he the one?
- Yes!
He's the guy.
This bastard.
That's right.
I feel bad for her.
Young-hee.
I think my daughter sent you here
asking you to avenge her death.
I beg you...
Kill this bastard.
He's the real devil.
I will give you the money...
No, everything I've got.
Just take it!
I'll give you everything.
Just kill this fucker!
Kwon-su, what do you think?
Young-hee, my girl.
And you promise
to give us the money?
Yes!
Why don't you trust me?
How many times
do I have to tell you?
Okay.
Then tell us the details.
Well...
100 thousand...
and 34.35 dollars!
Everything's okay?
- You all received it?
- Yes!
It's done!
- Can I go now?
- Sure!
- Are you okay with wounds?
- Sure.
- Let me help you.
- No, I'm fine!
We sincerely apologize.
No way.
Everyone makes mistakes.
You know this dean...
Just take care of him.
We'll make sure to kill
this fucker Lee Jong-se.
I'm counting on you.
Also please stay healthy.
- Take care!
- Drive safe!
Take care!
- Ciao!
- Bye!
Please get well soon!
Wow, 100K!
- Hey, Karim!
- Hi!
- You're here!
- Hello, bro!
Karim.
- You came quick.
- Sang-tae, what's wrong with your face?
It's nothing.
Thank you for coming so quickly.
It's you guys.
I should come.
Karim, there's a special job...
That you can only do.
Nobody else can do it.
How much?
Karim, it's a really meaningful job.
- You're a good person, right?
- I guess so.
This job is bigger than money.
So...
He's the evil of worst description.
I heard about him and...
he did all those wicked things!
You think it's going well?
He should cut prices
as much as possible.
50 dollars would be nice.
We should nip it in the bud
to make the world a better place.
We're in this together!
Those little ones...
We should nip it in the bud!
Okay, I'll treat you beef!
Take care!
Make sure to take care of it!
- Okay, bye!
- Bye!
So long!
- How did it go?
- All went well. He's such a good boy.
Nice!
Let's eat something nice
when we're fucking rich.
Right, how much do we have?
Let's eat something expensive.
What are your plans for tomorrow?
I'll sign up for the classes of
the civil service exam.
- For being a police officer?
- You can even get the room to study.
Sure! How about you?
First...
- I'll go to the church and pray.
- Pray.
Then I'll do some
volunteer works for a while.
That's nice too.
Sang-tae, I guess you need to
receive the revision surgery.
This case happened in 2019 came to an end as the last
subcontractor, foreigner A reported to the police.
Woman B, accidentally dragged into the case,
was also arrested for soliciting a murder.
It is known that A reported not for the contract
killing but for the violation of the minimum wages act.
TAVERN
President PARK attended
the completion ceremony of
Sapgyo Lake Seawall
in Dang-jin, Chungnam Province.
President expressed his satisfaction
with the facility
and praised public service workers
for their hard works.
OH YEON-A
JANG HYUN-SUNG
KIM MIN
PARK SANG-MYUN - LEE JUN-HYUK
KIM SOO-JIN - JUN SUK-HO
It's you again.
As usual.
EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR THE MAN
It got a bit chilly, right?
I don't see the granny today.
My mom went to Iri.
To attend my cousin's wedding.
She comes back early tomorrow.
She's just 20 now
and hit it off with her teacher.
Her folks were against the marriage
but the couple was inseparable.
I'll join you tonight.
It's not fun drinking alone, right?
Here.
It's the merit of working alone!
Isn't that right?
This is a fine stuff.
Straight from the sea.
We usually keep it for family.
But I'm making an exception
for my handsome customer.
Try it.
Miss...
are you married?
Why do you ask?
Wanna arrange a match for me?
Just curious.
I always wanted to ask.
What is this painting?
No idea.
Picked it up
at the junk shop next door.
I just like it.
Looks like it's a foreign country.
America maybe?
Not sure.
That man in hat showing his back...
Doesn't he look like
waiting for someone?
Just like someone here!
You're waiting for
someone, aren't you?
Am I?
It's been already 2 weeks.
A stranger
who suddenly started to come
everyday at the same hour alone.
Isn't it strange?
Who is that?
That you're so eagerly waiting for?
Is she pretty?
So, it's a girl.
I'm not done talking.
Where are you going?
To the john!
It's on the right side of entrance.
Oh, you are here!
You filthy bastard!
No, it's not what you think.
What do I think?
Well, it's...
Damn moron.
You're on stakeout!
You slacker!
What kind of detective
jerks off during a stakeout?
- It's not what you think, I said.
- You liar.
I saw you taking it out.
Already 2 weeks passed.
I don't think that bastard is here.
The only thing we know is that
his name is Yum Sang-go
and he's got a narcissus tattoo
on his left shoulder.
His hometown, age, address
and signalment all unknown!
We won't be able to catch him
or recognize him
even if he turns up before us.
He'll definitely show up.
And it's chief's special order.
Catch him no matter what.
Dead or alive.
Sir...
How about digging other places?
He will definitely come to that place.
Yum Sang-go.
Did you take a shit?
What took you so long?
Welcome.
What should I get you?
Are you the owner?
Yes.
Whatever you got.
That's right.
Nothing so far, sir.
Detective Choi is inside.
Yes, both of us are fully loaded.
Of course, sir.
No one except us knows about this.
Yes, sir! Of course, sir!
Fuck... there's not a soul in sight.
Whom is he pressing us to catch?
Damn stupid codger.
Is he from this town?
No.
He said he came to work
at the construction site nearby.
Since when?
About 2 weeks ago.
Have you...
seen any tattoos
on his left shoulder?
Like... a narcissus tattoo.
- Narcissus tattoo?
- Shush!
Did you see it?
The tattoo?
How could I?
We are not that intimate.
- How about his name?
- Name?
Yeah, his name!
Yum Sang-go!
Has anyone with that name come here?
I've never heard of it.
Hey, mister!
Why don't you join us
when you're on your own?
It's almost the curfew.
- And I already drank a lot.
- Fuck!
Can you call yourself a man
when you're afraid of a curfew?
You're way too interested in a stranger.
I couldn't help it.
The guy who was drinking alone
started throwing away
his drinks on the quiet
since we came in.
Hey, come join us!
Sir?
What is it?
What are you doing here?
It's almost the curfew hour.
I'm a policeman from Seoul.
Go away.
Show me your ID, please.
Oh, gosh...
What did you just say?
Show me your ID...
Satisfied now?
- Read the fucking air.
- I am sorry.
Even a hillbilly constable
should know when to butt in!
I apologize.
I'm on a special mission.
Go away, will you?
Sir.
What now?
May I ask...
about the mission?
What's wrong with you?
I should report to the station
about what happens in our precinct.
You nutjob...
Want some serious troubles?
I apologize.
Damn... fucking moron.
I believe you are looking for...
Looking for what, fucker!
Yum Sang-go...
What?
What is it? What is this?
Fucking moron...
So you're looking for
a guy named Yum Sang-go.
Then let me ask you one thing.
That man... Yum Sang-go.
What is he like?
A dreadful bastard.
One hell of a killer!
One hell of a killer!
The price on his head
is enormous, too.
So many hunters are chasing
to kill him.
And are you one of them?
We are professionals.
Entirely different from
those thugs.
That bastard
everyone is waiting for.
I'm so curious what he looks like.
No one knows.
Whoever saw his face
all died.
Then how can you find him
not knowing what he looks like?
Narcissus tattoo.
He has that on his left shoulder.
And you are saying
he will come here tonight?
For sure!
Before midnight...
You got the wrong intel
as it's midnight soon.
You never know.
He might be already here.
Now it's your turn to answer.
Are you Yum Sang-go?
Well...
are you satisfied now?
It's curfew hour.
Isn't it?
Who am I talking to?
I'm asking what you're doing here
when it's past the curfew!
Answer me!
Are you all deaf?
Hello?
Hold on, please.
He wants to talk to
one of you two.
Speaking.
Miss...
Lock this place up, quick.
- Excuse me?
- Now!
Okay.
We have in here...
Yum Sang-go!
Look at these bastards.
Are you out of your minds?
Dare to point your guns
at a police officer?
You're not a police officer!
Firearms are not supplied
to a mere constable.
So you must be either Yum
or someone came to kill him.
Neither we nor this fella is Yum.
It means you're Yum.
So drop your gun
or you're a dead meat!
I am not Yum Sang-go!
Prove it!
Fuck... then who the hell is him!
Show yourself!
If none of us is Yum...
Quite slow-witted.
All of you...
Shame you have to go.
I kinda liked you.
Are you cold?
Don't look up.
You're dead if you see my face.
Oh, you're here early.
Mom.
In 1979, a bullet penetrated
the heart of darkness.
But...
the darkness didn't die away.
The underground city
of the urban legend
that may or may not exist.
The place for
the refugees, the outlaws,
the illegal aliens and the exiles.
We call it 'Diaspora City.'
OFF LIMITS
Was it because I've lived
underground too long?
That day, I dashed with the hammer
in a fit of helpless feeling.
To smash the radio on the counter
that played the gibberish
throughout the year.
I somehow hoped
the thing would be different.
But soon, I realized that
it was an empty hope
only after turning
the tuner a few times.
The music from
the old cassette player
that I accidentally pressed to play
made me smile
after a long while.
It was 1000 days anniversary
of Diaspora City,
the non-existent city.
On that day like other days,
Voice who can't speak
and Smile who can't smile
This way! Voice who can't
speak and Smile who can't smile
were arguing over where to hang
the celebration placard.
If they had not come that day,
that scene would've remained
as one from our daily life.
When the clock which was 10 mins fast
just passed 5:30pm,
they came in.
They're in identical outfits
with sunglasses,
long trench coats
that cowboys would wear
and military boots.
Looking as ridiculous as C-list comedians,
they ordered me to keep silent.
The rain must have stopped
in the outside world.
- That is a hole.
- That is a hole.
Not that kind of hole
that you might think of
when you hear the word.
The only opening through which
we get the peep of the outside world.
- Since we came here
- Since we came here
we couldn't tell
the day from the night
and thought we were deprived of
the right to enjoy the light.
But with that,
we now can tell
the night from the day.
People here call it a hole,
but for me it's a cinema.
Where I could occasionally dream.
In this shitty place,
where the stench
of depressing sweat
and sewage stagnate
like glacial ascetic acid,
people dream through that hole.
No, maybe,
we've been peeping through the hole,
hoping everyday would pass
without any trouble.
You!
Why do you look so rigid?
You should greet a customer
with a smile, that's the manner!
Got a problem with us here?
Want me to rip your mouth
so that you can smile ear to ear?
How many are you here?
Pardon?
We don't serve that...
And you're deaf, too?
He said how many of you work here!
Smile!
What are they up to?
Why do they
tell us to come and go?
No idea. You know?
Not sure, maybe for a souvenir photo?
The minute I saw the hammer,
I instantly foresaw the rise of trouble
even though I couldn't tell when.
Gather here quick!
Something that can't be withdrawn
like a lit fuse.
SMILE
Your name is Smile?
There was a bulletin on me
at my previous workplace.
'Why doesn't he smile at all?'
Someone accused me of not smiling
for some anti-state reasons.
Interesting.
- Here goes a pop quiz!
- Pop quiz!
We have recently welcomed
a new state leader.
He declared the merge of press
for the country's unison
as well as...
the eradication of instigators
nonetheless the number
to realize a society of justice!
He also emphasized the sacrifice
of us tightening our belts
to finally realize
the long-anticipated...
world peace.
Here goes the quiz.
If our leader comes here today
you'd welcome him with a warm smile?
I should smile, naturally.
Then show your smile.
- Smile.
- Smile.
- Now.
- Now.
Voice who can't speak...
VOICE Voice who can't speak...
Then I guess you've got
an issue with your trap.
Right?
Sunshine.
You're Sunshine.
What does it mean?
Stupid.
You dreamt too much
when you shouldn't have.
You're a dreamer, right?
We are here today...
And when they paused,
as if drawn by a force,
my hand reached out
for the hammer.
Wait!
But what I had in my hand was...
Are you pausing...
for the dramatic effects for
the next important speech?
- Just the air...
- She's shiny.
That's why she's called Sunshine.
I told you not to talk stupid.
Stupid? I told you
not to call me stupid!
We are here today
to kill someone
who comes here everyday
at 6 o'clock sharp.
Not a single second late!
And orders the same menu.
Roast pork with apple sauce
and mashed potato.
At six o'clock sharp...
Someone who comes everyday...
Orders same food
and takes the same seat!
Are you going to kill him?
Kill?
We'll kill him!
Hey, it's me!
Your brother, Jong-se.
He who has killed other people
knows he can be
killed at any minute.
That's why he's
always on edge like this.
They assaulted like occupation forces,
and acted like loutish gangs,
and now are pettifogging.
Who are they?
Then what's next?
What next?
Well, suppose you kill that man.
Then what would happen to us?
That's what we'd like to know.
After that... Well...
What are we going to do?
Don't call me stupid again!
What shall we do?
What's next?
The next is...
After that...
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
They were neither C-list comedians
nor elegant audiences.
Not even the thugs.
Saying they grip their guns tighter
with the pride to contribute
for a peaceful and clean society,
they were cheap authors
and the killers.
Nonetheless...
like we promised to each other
to say and do nothing,
we just stood there frozen
as if posing for a picture.
But at that moment!
I remembered they didn't know
the clock was 10 minutes fast.
Wait!
What has he done to you?
He didn't even have a chance.
We haven't met!
We'll meet
for the first and last time.
They have never met each other.
And if we say and do
nothing to him...
Nothing will happen to you!
So! I mean!
He always comes here
at 6 o'clock.
Always on time.
- But!
- But?
- But not everyday.
- Not everyday?
Anyway he comes at 6, right?
And one more thing.
That clock!
Other people will also come
as it is dinner time.
And we'll have more people
as today's an anniversary.
What shall we do with them?
We only got 2 minutes.
Oh my god!
What about telling everyone
the kitchen's closed today?
Damn, 1 minute left!
Wait!
Let go of me!
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
My feet moved against myself
when the clock hit 6.
Don't intervene in things like this.
Smile said with his hand.
Then, it happened in a flash.
The gun landed in our hand.
Isn't it past 6?
Sir, that clock is...
- 10 minutes...
- 20 minutes fast!
- 20 minutes fast?
- I was trying to tell you.
So technically
it's not 6 yet, it is 5...
It is 5:40... no, 30.
We still got plenty of time.
Shall we eat something?
I'm hungry.
You get hungry now?
You stupid...
- What was that? Roast pork...
- With apple sauce...
- That's available from 6.
- But it is 6!
Told you that clock is
20 minutes fast.
Jeez!
What the...
Heard of the schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia as if
someone's splitting your mind?
Right, my sister suffers from it.
You see there's a flow
in a conversation.
But she doesn't have that!
Hover between reality and delusion.
One day, she told me not to drink
from this kettle saying it's poisoned.
I usually laugh her off but
it strangely upset me that day.
I can relate.
You get sensitive
- and uncontrollable over nothing.
- So I decided to kill her.
Think about it.
If she dies
I won't have to take care of her.
Or beat my gums like this.
So I plotted a perfect murder,
flawless from method to alibi.
Then?
But you don't have a sister.
What I'm saying is...
there's poison in this kettle!
Where are they?
Come back tomorrow!
Not today, tomorrow!
10-minute-fast clock was
approaching 6 o'clock.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Now.
Our plan was this.
I'd kick the killer's chairs to fall.
Three...
Two...
One!
Voice glared at me
pressing for an action,
but my feet didn't obey my mind.
- It's a ping pong ball.
- Sir.
It's 6 o'clock sharp.
We still got 10 minutes.
Did you smile?
Did you?
It's 6 o'clock!
Are you deaf or what?
She talks! Look!
Bastards!
They can smile, talk and kick!
You think I'm stupid?
Damn... should I just kill you all?
Let go of me.
Say nothing and do nothing.
Then nothing will happen.
Die!
What's next?
What's next?
