A DIRTY CARNIVAL
ZO In-sung
You fucking bastard,
you think you're a gangster?
You wanna be a gangster too? Fucking bastard! Let go.
Beats up a person and throws away money.
I have to admit he's good for nothing though he's my son.
He's out of his mind!
He needs years behind bars before he comes to his senses
Stop it already.
We should be thankful they accepted our offer.
By the way, what shall we do?
We only have a month to move out.
Where can we get that much money?
I'll find a way.
No, it's okay.
I'll get the money somehow this time.
Don't worry mom, I said I'll take care of it.
You wanna get sick again?
This is for Sun-ok's academy and your medication.
Do you still have chest pains?
They're tolerable.
You'd better not be seen with those scamps again.
Next time, I'm gonna break your legs.
- See ya. - Okay.
Yeah.
Drive safely and come by more often.
I think mom's condition's gotten worse these days.
OK. Here.
A cellphone?
It's not for you to chat and text message with your friends
I can keep it?
Call mom whenever you're late from the academy.
OK.
Go in.
Oh, KIM Byung-doo? I know him well.
Really? How do you know him?
I was in charge of the Rotary gang. I met him then.
How do you know him?
He's my friend from elementary.
Oh, he's your friend?
Yeah. I've been asking every policeman I met to find him
Then, good for you.
You should see him then, rather than talking to me
If it's for your movie, you should talk to the gangster himself.
I guess so.
You motherfuckers!
You think you can leave whenever you want?
You think this is some kinda club? A fucking picnic?
Straighten up.
Hello, boss.
Why did you bring them back if they didn't we anymore?
- Jong-soo. - Yes, boss.
From now on, cut their fingers before they leave.
Yes, boss.
- You, youngest! - Yes, boss.
- It's tough isn't it? - No, it's OK, boss.
Let's bear it a little longer.
Since we're already here, might as well go all the way.
- Hey, Hippo! - Yes, boss.
What's our philosophy?
Yes, boss.
Never lose face, never get jumped on,
Get your shoes polished even if you skip a meal.
Though we may starve to death,
we should never fail to respect ourselves
So what do you become the minute you lose integrity?
A scamp!
Am I right?
- Yes, boss. - Right, boss.
Let's try our best.
Everybody cheer up.
Let's go working!
Yes, boss.
Apartment number 108-503! Bitch, gimme my money!
CHOI Sun-duk!
Pay back if you borrowed my money!
Residents of building 108!
My family's starving because Apt. 503 won't pay me back!
Who are you calling a bitch!
Honey, call the police!
Go ahead, call again. Let's go by the fucking law.
You're going a bit too far, young man.
What am I supposed to do? I don't have any money!
Hello? Sun-ok?
Byung-doo? Can you hear me?
Yup. Got good connection. What's up?
I forgot to say thank you for the cellphone.
Hey, go back your studying and don't waste your time calling me.
The fruit of patience is what? It's sweet.
Gotta go, I'm working.
Damn, what are you doing?
Do it harder, make me hard.
Higher, higher, that's right.
- Right there. Good. - Get back to your room.
I was hurting right there.
Today it's chrysanthemum, tomorrow it's rose.
You'll fall asleep tired from flirting!
I'm tired of waiting, Digger Digger!
Tired of collecting money, Digger!
I'm so lonely tonight oh no!
Who are you under?
Fucking son of a bitch.
I'm so fucking busy getting ready for my business,
how could I fucking interrupt yours? Fucking dick heads!
What? Yeah, go ahead!
We're gonna open as planned.
Do whatever you want!
Bring your axe and shit!
- Hey! - Yes, boss.
why did you make it so noticeable?
Sorry, boss. I tried my best.
We might as well clean them up for good this time, boss!
Leave it. Don't make things big.
Take care of it at your level.
Yes, boss.
Later, boss.
Boss, is everything okay?
Yeah, the game room... so you got it?
Yes, boss.
Good.
Here, this is for you.
Boss, give us a bit more.
Hey, times are difficult for me too.
Getting my only sister married costs a shit load.
A bit more, boss.
We can't even pay rent these days.
Dumb ass, getting cheated by your own sponsor...
Let's wait till things get better.
You said that before, boss.
What!
Boss, can't you just pretend you skipped a racecourse bet?
You fucking with me?
How dare you fuck with me...
Byung-doo, how old are you this year?
Twenty-nine, boss.
Twenty-nine, huh?
And look at yourself.
Still begging for money...
Shouldn't you be getting somewhere by now?
Six villas and 20% a month. Get them notarized...
Why waste money? We are the notary.
Then make sure you get all the right documents.
Right, boss.
How are you, boss!
Yes, Byung-doo! Heard you did a great job.
It's nothing.
No, no, That wasn't easy money to get back.
Sang-chul's got a smart kid under him.
All my boys are smart, boss.
Byung-doo, we're about to go for a drink. Join us.
Don't mind me.
Come along. You can be boss's designated driver.
I like you cause you don't look like a gangster.
Gangsters need to look like this nowadays.
It's hard to do business looking like him.
Boss, I've been getting facials.
Byung-doo, got a sponsor?
No boss. Not anymore.
Things didn't work out, boss.
His sponsor flew with our investment money.
It's hell of a situation, boss.
Then why don't you let him manage the new game room?
Yes, boss. I was thinking about that.
I love you, boss.
Oh my god, oh my god, don't do this to me.
A girl's heart is like a reed.
Don't do this. Don't ask.
Don't ask any more.
Hello.
Yes, I'm having a drink with some employees.
I'm afraid I can't right now.
Yes.
Give me some more time.
I'm sorry.
I love you. I can't believe I love you.
Though you're not a knight in a shining armor
Fucking asshole!
What a pain in the ass.
But try to work things out.
- Sang-chul. - Yes, boss.
Why don't you take attorney PARK for me?
What?
Couldn't you quietly solve this situation?
What do you mean?
I can't sleep well knowing he's pulling my strings.
If you do it for me, I got your back for the rest of your life.
Can you do it?
Boss, we'll all get fucked.
You know that boss.
I'll do anything, but an attorney... It's a different matter.
Right. I knew it'd be hard.
- Hey, congratulations. - Thanks.
You're raking in money.
Rake in my ass.
- Thanks for coming. - Okay.
Heard you're gonna be in charge of this place.
- Yes. - Good luck, boy.
It's a good location, all it needs is a good management.
This is just the beginning. Soon, we'll own several of these.
We need to get a good sponsor and start making a fortune.
By the way boss, we're gonna have some trouble
with the Three-way gang.
This is their district, isn't it?
Hey, I'm going for a drink with the guests.
- I'll be back soon. - Okay, boss.
Okay.
Jong-soo, gimme some light.
Yes, boss.
You've come a long way smoking in front of me.
It's a special day, boss. Let me smoke just this one.
So you like driving that BMW?
You know it's not my car.
Son of a bitch
Stop going around kissing boss's ass and act right.
What?
I heard you've been making trouble at Three-way's game room.
Are you going to fight them alone if they gain up on us?
What are you scared about?
It needs to happen anyway.
Hey, this business is mine. Don't you butt in.
Byung-doo!
Hey, Min-ho!
KIM Min-ho, you son of a bitch!
Hey, long time no see.
Yeah, it's been a while. How long has it been, man?
I know. It's been ages. Hey, you still look the same.
You too, man. I could spot you out in an instant.
Oh yeah?
So why is it so hard to see you?
I looked up everywhere to find you.
Oh yeah?
Detective WOO called this morning.
He says you're a filmmaker?
I'm working on something.
Man, it's so cool I have a friend who's a film director.
What about you Byung-doo? How's work?
I'm running that place and doing this and that.
Heard you wanted to meet gangsters?
Yeah, I'm preparing a gangster movie.
I met some detectives,
Now I need to meet some gangsters.
I don't know if it'll help.
They're just like normal people.
Still... I need to learn about their world.
Hey, are you still keeping in touch with elementary friends?
Sure, I see them once in a while at the reunion events.
Then have you seen KANG Hyun-joo?
Yeah, I saw her at the last gathering.
You remember her?
I remember my close friends. So, how is she doing?
I heard she works at a book store.
Yeah, what... Jong-soo?
Son of a bitch
Mother fucker!
Fucker!
Fucking motherfuckers.
Come in all of you!
- Young-pil! - Yes, boss.
Call the Three-way fucks.
Yes, boss.
- Byung-doo! - Yes, boss.
It's war. Gather all the boys.
Yes, boss.
Young-pil... where are you?
Stuck in traffic? Shit!
We're nearly there so get here as soon as you can!
Shit, run them over!
Open the trunk!
Son of a bitch. Son of a bitch!
Shit
Son of a bitch!
Boss!
What was he thinking?
Big boss made things messy gutting that boy for nothing
Boss, isn't our whole family in deep shit if he dies?
Shut up!
Let's wait till the boss gets things settled
Big boss'd better not forget us,
after everything we did this time.
Yeah, Sun-ok, what?
Why on earth would you join the demonstration? You're ill.
You have any idea how dangerous they are?
You thought they'd build around our house if you protested?
What else could I do?
By the way, what happened to your face?
Were you in a fight again?
Never mind my face.
You and Byung-sik, both of you... It's all my fault.
Don't use your fists anymore.
Wars are outdated now.
You have to use your brains, Not your sashimi knives.
Yes, boss.
So how did you settle it?
We paid some compensation
and Young-pil is going in.
- Young-pil is? - Yes, boss.
I asked him to do it for me.
So I let his boys take care of the game room.
Boss, what do you mean?
I had to do it.
It was the least I could do for him.
Boss...
Sir, attorney PARK wants to see you in the next room.
Attorney PARK's here?
Who told him I was here?
Oh, did I make a mistake?
What shall I tell him?
Tell him I'll be there.
This asshole is a stumbling block in my life.
Boss, just have a drink with him.
Go to boss's car and wait.
Boss, can I talk to you?
What is it?
How can you do this to me?
You need to understand.
Boss, did I ever disobey you?
What is it that Young-pil did that I didn't do for you?
I know. Next time, OK?
Boss, please... just this once.
Our family is about to get thrown out to the streets.
Please reconsider, boss.
Then you wanna go in instead of Young-pil?
- See you again. - Yeah, see you next time.
Yes.
- Is boss's car ready? - Yes, boss.
- Hey! - Yes?
- What's this? - Oh, he's with me.
Meet attorney PARK.
He's a gangster too then.
Hey, come over here.
Fucking gangsters... Parasites of our society...
Loser like this should be all sucked up with a vacuum cleaner.
Why don't you leave the poor kid alone.
Hey, Myung-geun.
You're neither a civilian nor a gangster. What are you?
A mutt?
Act straight.
Let's have a smoke.
Yes.
People need to age gracefully.
Attorneys aren't easy.
How old are you?
Twenty-nine, boss.
That's when Sang-chul came.
He was quick back then.
He's come a long way... or maybe went too far.
There's so much to do but it's hard to find someone who'll last.
You should find a good sponsor
and start making real money.
You can't be a gangster forever.
Thanks for your advice, boss.
Byung-doo, you just need to know two things to be successful.
Who you need, and what he needs...
It seems Sang-chul doesn't need anything anymore.
Thanks for driving.
Good night, boss.
Think of me as your big brother.
- Yeah. - Go home now.
Good night.
Sorry for coming back, boss.
It's okay. What is it?
Do you have a name card of that attorney?
This is serious stuff.
All our necks are on the line.
You don't have to join me. I'll do it myself if you're not in.
How can you say such a thing.
We're both outsiders, starting out as club waiters...
When will we make our fortune living like this?
Do you think we can ever find another sponsor like this?
Jong-soo!
Yes, boss.
Trust me on this one.
Yes, boss. I'm here because of you.
I'll go if you go.
Good. Let's go for it.
See if you can find out anything.
Work quietly.
Mr. CHOI! How are you?
Hey, what are you doing here?
I was waiting for you but you didn't come...
Right, we had an appointment. Sorry I forgot.
It's not a problem.
But, can I talk to you for a minute?
Right now? I can't.
I have a meeting. How about tomorrow?
See you tomorrow.
Then, have you read my scenario?
Your scenario?
Why don't you look for something else?
What?
The story hasn't changed a bit since last time.
If it's a gangster movie, it needs something strong.
but this one... the storyline's just bland.
Plus, there's no gangster in this gangster movie.
Look for something else.
I'll change it... one last time.
I'm doing real interviews with some gangsters right now.
I'll make it realistic this time.
You just wait, motherfuckers.
I'll make something huge.
Hey!
- You found this place. - Yeah, it wasn't hard.
What's up with you these days? I couldn't get a hold of you.
Are you busy these days?
Yeah, the business is busy.
I'm sorry about the other day.
Things just happen and shit...
Yeah, I saw what happened.
Man, what was that fight over?
You saw? Just the usual territory fight.
Man, that was some action.
It's my first time seeing gangsters fight.
Did you get hurt or anything?
I'm fine. So what is it that you had to see me so urgently?
Oh, that...
I'll tell you as we go.
Go where?
Where are we going?
You'll see once we get there.
Where are you taking me...
It was such a spectacle when the fat boy got smashed.
We couldn't go that way since
then thanks to this son of a bitch.
That's right. Byung-doo, you used to be so athletic.
Don't you guys remember?
Our class won that relay run because of him.
Yeah, that's right.
Man, it's so good to see you again.
I know.
Yeah, come out more often.
Yeah, okay.
Help Min-ho with his film too.
It's about time he made something.
Hey, stop.
Who knows? When he becomes famous
maybe he'll bring some gorgeous actresses with him.
As if I'll have time for you guys.
- You arrogant son of a bitch. - Whatever!
Hey, Min-ho, I think I'd better go in now.
Why? Stay a little longer. Hyun-joo will come soon.
This prick finally showed up.
I guess he did.
It's a bet! Hey guys, he's betting two hundred
for whoever finishes the pie in twenty seconds.
Twenty seconds? Anyone can do that!
Whoever eats it can take it.
You'd better keep your word.
- OK, Two hundred! - You guys, join us.
Alright, bring on the pie.
- Byung-doo, try it. - Hey, let's do it.
One, two, start!
Stop!
Who's finished it?
He ate all.
For real?
Open your mouth.
What the...
Byung-doo, take it.
Forget it. Use it to pay for the drinks.
Hey, Hyun-joo!
Sorry, sorry.
Come sit over here.
Why are you so late?
Work ended late today.
You're always late.
- You'd better pay penalty. - Okay, next stop's on me.
Hyun-joo.
You know how long Byung-doo waited for you?
Hey, Byung-doo.
Hey, it's been a long time.
It's so good to see you.
You still look the same.
Really?
What do you mean? She's aged.
You wanna die?
So when are you going to get married, Hyun-joo?
Hey, ask me after you find me a man first.
Hey, you know how much Byung-doo missed you?
Really?
Hey, I never said that.
Why not? I missed him too.
She runs away when I approach her
Looks away when I glance at her
Time keeps passing by while
I wonder if she knows how I feel
She swifts by me,
and though I try to ignore it
Aren't you glad you came today?
Let's see each other more often.
You know how much I missed you?
Min-ho, today's just perfect.
Yeah...
I may not run like a child I may not chase the butterfly
but I'll stay by you forever
And flow by you like the river
I could run, I could fly.
If you came into my heart.
Okay.
Hyun-joo. You rock.
- Hyun-joo! Fighting! - Fighting!
I could run, I could fly.
If you came into my heart.
Drive safely, I'll call again.
Not too close.
Run in.
I'm sorry. Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Hey, what the hell is wrong with your driving?
I'm sorry. I must've dozed off.
Don't you know any better not to drive when you're sleepy?
I'm sorry. I'll pay for the damage.
- Let me get your name card. - Yes, sure.
Aren't you attorney PARK?
You know me?
Yeah, I'm OH Jong-soo. Don't you remember me?
OH Jong-soo?
Have we met before?
I saw you at the Rainbow.
Why don't you eat some food as well.
The food here is really good.
Yes, boss.
You look healthier than before.
Really? I'm working out more,
running two extra kilometers.
I must live long enough to spend all that money I have.
Of course, boss.
How's getting ready for moving to the new place?
It's going well, thanks to you.
I got your back from now on so let's work as team.
I have this business plan that I might need your help in.
I'm at your service, boss. I willing to work hard.
But you know it won't be easy
settling things with Sang-chul.
I know, boss.
Good. This case worked out well thanks to you.
- Let's drink to it. - Yes, boss.
And, one more thing... This never happened.
Not a soul will find out.
You know what I mean?
Yes, I know, boss.
- So it's ten in total? - Yeah.
Let's see what you have.
Flush.
Hold your horses. A full house.
Hey, good timing. Go get some money.
What is it?
They were meeting together.
The fucking son of a bitch.
He dares to leave me out?
I think Byung-doo did attorney PARK as you said.
I'm sorry it's been so long.
How's your health?
It's just so-so. I need to cope with it.
Still, you'll get better soon.
Mom, remember how he used to be so considerate.
I told him not to come, but he kept on insisting
that he wanted to see you.
Really? thank you.
I heard you've become a filmmaker?
Yes.
I'm so happy for you.
Poor Byung-doo couldn't finish school because of me.
Mom, you don't need to say that here.
Yeah. Byung-doo's far better off than I am.
You've got yourself a good son.
You'd better tell some good stories to our director here.
- Got it? - Yes, boss.
Tell him everything.
Ask them anything you want to know.
Okay.
If you want juicy stuff, ask him.
He's had it rough.
He can stab you while smiling.
Jong-soo boss cried last night watching a TV drama.
You fucking ass, shut up!
Hey, watch it. We have a guest here.
Sorry boss.
Oh, it's OK.
Jong-soo, what is that tattoo of? It's interesting.
It's a forget-me-not.
Boss waters it sometimes like this
Boss, my tattoo is prettier.
Hong-man's been watching over big boss's gang and says
Young-pil went down to Young-gwang today.
To Young-gwang?
Yeah, he didn't meet anyone in particular.
Just looked around.
Something's fishy.
When's Young-pil going in?
I heard after the big boss's sister's wedding.
Myung-goo, what do you want to do when you climb up in rank.
I want to find a good sponsor and make a fortune.
I wish to buy my own apartment someday.
Myung-goo and Hong-man are petite.
What made you wanna be a gangster?
Why boss, size doesn�t matter.
The days of fattening up eating dog food and shit are over.
These days, you can't survive like that.
You need brains and skills these days.
Gangsters need to study to read documents.
- Excuse me. - Yes, how may I help you?
Byung-doo!
Wow that's a lot of books there. You read all of it?
Just the titles.
Hey, what happened last time?
You left in the middle of it.
Oh, something came up.
Hey, so how long have you been working here?
- Seven to eight years. - Oh really?
Your legs must hurt from standing all day.
Well... that's how it is. So, how's your mother?
She's doing well.
I remember she used to cook red bean noodles for me.
I crave it sometimes.
Wow, you have good memory.
Come over whenever you crave it.
Hey, so you're not dating anyone?
Nope. And you?
Me? I was too busy thinking of you.
Yeah right.
I'm serious.
Anyway, it's really nice to see you again.
I know.
Hey, I heard about what you do for living.
What did you hear? That I'm a gangster?
- Yeah, Young-pil. - Boss said you get back.
- What? - He wants to meet you.
- Right now? - Yes, boss!
- Alright. - Hurry up.
You know what? I need to get back to work.
Yeah. Hey, is it okay if I came by once in a while?
No, why don't you call me when you're around here.
Why?
I don't want my friends to see me at work.
Alright.
- OK, bye. - Bye.
Come on in.
You asked for me, boss?
Yeah. Here's the wedding invitation.
Wow, congratulations.
Thanks. Sit down.
It's sad sending her off.
So have you heard?
Heard what?
Attorney PARK's missing.
Who?
Attorney PARK!
You met him in front of that karaoke.
Cops came by because of that.
Don't know why they're linking me with his absence.
What gangster in his sane mind would do that?
Knowing it would kill the whole organization.
Don't you agree?
Of course, boss.
By the way,
go to Young-gwang this weekend after the wedding.
Young-gwang?
Yeah, you remember Mr. JANG?
Go collect money from him.
Yes, boss.
Since that game room didn't work out for you,
you can use half of it.
It'll be enough for you and your boys too.
Thanks, boss.
I kind of let you guys drift alone, didn't I?
It's hard with all these boys looking up to me.
I miss those days when we used to rough it together.
Yes, boss.
I want you to tell me if you feel like you're being mistreated.
You're the only one I have left, with Young-pil's going in soon.
He's done attorney PARK
Yeah.
Then you should finish him off and teach Mr. HWANG a lesson.
I don't want to shed blood before the wedding.
He's going after the wedding so go after him and work quietly.
Yes, boss.
This is melting in my mouth. Boss, you should try some.
- Yeah, you go ahead eat. - Okay.
This is for you guys.
Where is this from?
Get yourselves a new suit.
Thank you boss!
Let me ask you something. What is a family?
What does a family mean to you?
Um, a family is like this, like us, boss.
A family is a mouth that eats from the same table.
One mouth, two... three, four
five, six...
seven, including myself. We are all one mouth.
- Understood? - Yes, boss.
Then, what about the asshole that wants to eat alone?
He's not a part of the family. He's a fucking stranger.
Am I right?
Yes, boss!
Echo waves reach everyone.
A land that split our youth
Life is a turning water mill,
so follow the wind and the cloud.
I think the boss knows
Then we should hurry, boss.
It has to be done anyway.
We could get fucked before them if we wait too long
- Thank you. - Yeah.
Boss, nice to see you.
- How are you, boss? - Ah, welcome.
Congratulations, boss.
Welcome. Thanks
They said it might rain, but I'm glad it isn't, boss.
Yeah, I know.
You must be missing her already, boss.
Nay, It's about time she got married.
Good! Everyone, look over here.
One, two!
Thank you.
Pay attention, please.
Would the friends of the groom and the bride come out
to take a picture at the front of the aisle.
How's the food? Thanks for coming.
You did a great job.
Boss.
Yeah.
The car is ready.
Yeah, escort them to the airport
- and drive safely. - Yes, boss.
Hey, Mr. NOH, come over here.
Man, it's so hard to see you around.
Yeah, long time no see.
Here, sit down.
I need to greet the guests first.
- Have a drink before you go. - Man, I can't resist.
The groom looks smart.
I heard he's from a good family.
So he's a fair match for my sister.
Of course, boss...
Well, I'm heading off to the airport, so I'll join you when I get back.
It's the least I can do for my boss.
You son of a bitch... alright.
Okay, see you later.
What the fuck! Hey!
So how many years are you going in for?
Why don't you take all that money you're managing...
and leave the country for a few years?
Boss, you wanna die here or leave?
Hey, you have a drink too.
Hold on.
Boss, it seems there are more guests than expected.
I know. Hey, nice suit.
Thanks. It's a special day.
Shouldn't you be getting married soon too?
Not anytime soon, boss.
So when shall I visit Mr. JANG?
Huh? Oh yeah, go tomorrow.
Mr. JANG isn't going to be easy to collect money from.
That's why appointed you to do the job.
Isn't that yours?
Oh, yes.
I don't know what to do with that gang.
Don't worry boss, I'll handle it.
- Okay. - Long time no see, boss.
Who are you?
I met you at the funeral last time.
I'm with the Rotary gang, boss.
Oh, you're under Sang-chul. How are you?
Doing great, boss.
Did you enjoy the food, boss?
Wedding food's always the same.
Then drink as much as you want. We've prepared enough of it.
I guess Sang-chul boss is doing pretty well.
So many families came.
Sang-chul's always in good terms with everyone.
His boys are pretty smart too.
I heard someone's going in because of the game room.
Young-pil's supposed to go in. When is he going in?
Right after the wedding, boss.
Is Sang-chul treating your family well too?
Of course, boss.
I see.
Yeah.
Let's finish it.
- Are we set? - Yup.
- Okay, let's go. - Yup.
Byung-doo. I'll go with the driver and start unpacking.
- Hey! - Yeah?
Sun-ok might get lost later so wait for her at the bus stop.
Okay.
Let's go, mom.
Wait a minute. Let me finish cleaning up.
What are you doing? You don't need to do that.
Of course I do. One must clean after his place.
By the way, why are the cops coming for you these days?
Why are you being questioned?
What have you done?
I wish you'd stop living like that
and start leading a normal life.
Can you stop.
And don't worry. I'm not doing anything bad.
I'll find that book for you.
- Yeah. - Could you come this way?
Here you are.
Would you want me to reserve the other book for you?
Yes, please.
We'll call you when it arrives.
- Okay. - Thank you.
- When did you get here? - Just now.
This is all I could find.
Thanks.
- Who's that? Your boyfriend? - No.
He's good looking.
He's not my boyfriend. Thanks.
- Try this book. - Okay.
So if I read this, it'll help us with our teamwork?
That's what the title implies.
Sounds nice. I should buy more of it.
Hey, let's have dinner tonight.
Dinner? You're buying?
Of course.
You'd better treat me to something delicious.
Miss KANG, what are you doing here?
Customers are waiting.
He's a customer too. I'll be there soon.
Right now!
You're not eating any more?
I'm full.
I was going to treat you to something fancier.
Why noodles?
I just felt like it. It's good.
By the way, what was that at the bookstore?
He was an ass.
Oh, don't mind him.
Hey, why did you buy so many books?
They're for my employees. I have an office now.
What kind of office?
I'm starting a real estate business.
Really?
I heard you're helping Min-ho with his movie.
I'm not much of a help.
I just told him some stories of how we live.
Hyun-joo, do you remember?
Remember what?
How we won first place in the relay race at school?
Yeah, of course I remember.
We used to stay after school to practice.
It was a lot of fun.
We used to go to Min-ho's place for noodles afterwards.
Yeah, we did.
Byung-doo. Don't get offended by what I'm about to say...
but I still can't believe you're doing that for living.
What?
I can't picture you as a gangster knowing how you used to be.
Hyun-joo. Gangster's just a label. I'm not as bad as you think.
You'll find out as you see me more often.
I guess Hyun-joo thinks of you a lot, sending you this.
What kind of tree is this? It doesn't have branches.
Oh, it's a Lucky Tree It rarely blossoms
but if it does, something good's supposed to happen.
Hey, I hope it blossoms so you can make a fortune.
Hmm... a Lucky Tree. Man, she's a woman of wit.
- Hey, Hippo. - Yes, boss.
Take special care of that. If you let it die, you die with it.
Yes, boss.
Hey, Byung-doo.
You must've landed a good sponsor.
No, some boss helped me out.
Oh yeah, that boss has a daughter
who wants to be an actress.
Can you cast her for your movie?
Why not. If it's your request, I'll meet her next time.
Do you need help?
You have something chique and comfortable at the same time?
What size does the lady wear?
Try to find one this length.
- I'm sorry? - This length.
I'm just asking dinner together. What's the matter?
In front of company?
Let's have a talk.
I said no.
Why are you doing this?
What's wrong with you, huh?
You can't do this to me.
You're not supposed to do this anymore.
Not do what?
Hyun-joo. Let's start again.
I said I'll try harder.
Does your wife know you're still doing this?
Why are you mentioning her?
This is about us.
I don't want to talk about it anymore. Give me my purse.
- Why are you avoiding me? - Give it back to me.
You can't leave until we're done talking.
- Give it back. - Let's talk this over.
Hyun-joo.
Hey man, she said she wants to go.
What? Who is this?
I'm Hyun-joo's friend.
A friend? So what?
Byung-doo, let's go. Give me my purse.
Oh... so there was a reason... All that was for him?
- Hey man. - Hey man?
Can't you see I have something to discuss with Hyun-joo?
Discuss what? She said no.
It's okay, let's go.
Hyun-joo. Wait in my car.
- Go to my car. - Hey!
What are you doing?
Give me the purse.
Give it to me!
You son of a bitch...
Hey, hold right there!
I said hold right there!
Fucking son of a bitch!
You motherfucker!
Shit!
Hyun-joo! What's wrong?
- What's wrong? - Let me go.
What did I do wrong? Was it that bad what I did?
- What? - You saw what happened.
He asked for it.
I'm sorry if it scared you.
But I'm not sorry for him.
Don't come to see me anymore.
What?
I don't like gangsters. So don't come to see me.
What are you saying?
You scare me. I don't want to see you anymore.
Hey, you can't sit there forever.
Go home now.
I said someone's coming.
Nobody's coming.
Shit, just wait and see.
Hey, Byung-doo, Byung-doo.
Man, you're so fucking heavy.
Why did you drink so much?
- Min-ho! - What?
Shit! Why is life so fucking hard?
What are you talking about?
Life sucks.
Hey, you really not gonna eat?
No. I'm staying over tonight.
It's messy like your place so make yourself at home.
I remember when I used to deliver for your restaurant.
Your mom used to hate seeing you hanging out with me.
Really?
But look at us. The owner's son and the delivery boy,
both pathetic.
Man, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said such a thing.
No, it's okay. It's true what you said.
Hey, did you find the picture we talked about last time?
The picture? Yeah. I was going to give it to you.
Isn't Hyun-joo really cute?
Hey, how are things going between you guys?
- Min-ho, do I scare you too? - Huh?
Why? Did someone say you're scary?
No.
I never regretted being a gangster but today,
I feel shitty.
You're really weird today. Did something happen?
Just thought I shouldn't be doing things I was doing.
tried everything to make money...
doing dirty work with sashimi knife.
Still, nothing changed about this shitty life.
I don't know what happened
but you're not the only one.
I've been living like this for three years to make a movie.
Hey, did you really use a sashimi knife?
Why?
It sounds so unreal. May because you're my friend.
When did you get that scar on your shoulder?
