SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE
I'm a good person. I'm a hard worker.
My older sister is the only family I have.
To put me through art school,
she gave up college and got a job at a factory.
But then she fell seriously ill, and had to quit.
So I gave up art school and got a job.
But recently, I made a decision.
I'm not sure whether to tell my sister or not.
I'm hesitating even as I write this letter.
If I decide to do it,
I'll be listening to the broadcast with my sister.
I can't speak with my mouth.
I'm deaf and dumb.
Please read this letter to my sister for me, since I can't.
Sis, you're listening?
You told me if you die,
you want to be buried by the river where we used to play...
All right, I'll do that.
But that'll be in 40 or 50 years' time.
I'm going to save you.
Really, I swear.
Actually... I registered to donate my kidney today.
I know you said not to,
that you'd rather die than be a burden...
But you know I never do what I'm told. Ha ha ha.
What do you mean, 'no?'
I'm telling you, if the blood types don't match,
then we can't do a transplant!
You haven't had a blood test since grade school, have you?
If you can't pay the hospital bills, take her home for now.
Until we find a suitable donor.
Until then, just keep coming in for dialysis.
It's type B, B...
"Organs For Sale"
Our new house is an old house.
The real estate guy must've thought it'd be OK since I'm deaf.
If my sister can't sleep, then neither can I.
Aw, fucking great!
I heard that this happened in Australia...
A man thought he had two heads.
Two heads?
Yeah, two.
And he kept getting headaches.
With two heads, he had headaches all the time.
So you know what he did?
He shot one of his heads.
The left or the right?
Aren't you going to lunch?
Come on, let's go eat something.
You've only got 10 million won?
Well, first of all...
You give us your kidney, then we'll do it.
You give us yours and we'll get you one for your sister.
For 10 million won.
Got it?
Does he understand me?
Your blood type's B, right?
21 days later
Congratulations! This is great.
Finding a donor this fast is simply a miracle.
The surgery's in a week, so have her admitted in 5 days.
You said you had 10 million won, right?
So all your problems are solved.
Isn't it great?
You idiot, you stupid fuck!
That money would've saved your sister.
When are you going to get a brain, you moron!
Why not?
Now's not the time to be thinking that way.
There's a saying,
'Is a boiled pig afraid of boiling water?'
Besides--
Then what are you going to do?
You've only got a week.
You know how long it'll take to find another donor?
Is that her? She's cute.
Must be a friend.
That's the bastard who fired you?
Son of a bitch.
That car's worth ten years of your salary.
That's why we need a revolution.
So sick people will get free treatment,
and you can get any damned organ you need!
The bad image they get is cause kids keep getting killed.
But we're different.
Give us the money, and we'll return the kid pronto.
Shit, I'm afraid she'll grow too fond of us.
Maybe she won't want to go home.
She'll be playing with us all the time,
what fun!
Won't have to go to school...
What?
It's summer vacation.
Besides, she doesn't go to school.
But think about it from her parents' point of view.
They'll be so happy to see her again.
They'll love her even more, and the family will be closer.
We really need the money, so we'll ask for exactly 26 million won.
How conscientious is that, right?
That money's nothing to them,
but for us it's a matter of life and death.
Movement of capital maximizes the value of money,
so it's not even a crime, don't you think?
There are good kidnappings and bad kidnappings.
A good kidnapping enlists the parents' cooperation.
If you call the police, the kid dies.
The parents pay up and the kid gets returned.
Then nobody finds out about it.
People think all kidnappings are bad.
We just don't hear about them.
There are probably a lot of good kidnappings.
Daddy!
What?
Can I go play at Yoosun's house?
No.
Then will you buy me a cell phone like Yoosun's?
Hey, President Park!
Why do you keep buying her stuff like that?
Have some consideration for your neighbors.
Peng!
President Park!
Sir, please help me!
My wife ran off, and my kids are starving.
I'm a founding employee.
In six years I never missed a day of work.
You know the percentage of faulty goods was 0.008%.
0.008...
Peng, what are you doing?
I explained it to you already.
And to come to my home...
I devoted myself to welding.
I gave away my youth to Ilshin Electronics, you know?
Daddy!
It's not going to work.
Why?
Look at him.
I was fired by the kid's father.
I'll be the first person the police call in.
Then what do we do?
Defeat the communists...
...the way for Korea is victory.
By the way,
how come Daddy's friend is so poor?
Huh?
We spent a lot of money because I'm sick.
What hospital is your mother in?
She doesn't know about the car accident.
Her father said not to tell her.
Daddy was too busy, so they got divorced.
That's why he left me with you.
Mine?
Don't cry.
Stop it!
He wants to trade it for your doll.
Daddy loves Yoosun.
Yoosun loves Daddy, too.
More than anything,
I'm jealous of girls with mommys to braid their hair...
Then come see me sometime.
Really?
Call me anytime.
I'm all alone, so I get bored.
Go to Geumho Station, wait outside exit three.
Statement of severance pay
He never said why he missed work so often?
Then he never went off for special training?
Yes, last week from Monday to Wednesday.
Badger, you're it!
She's washing.
Give it! I'm watching cartoons!
Is anybody out there?
Somebody help me...
Go away!
Ryu...
Ryu!
The water's deep there...
Even standing, it's far over my head.
Later I realized why I thought the water was deep.
I had never gone back since leaving my hometown.
When I was a kid, it was up over my head.
Way over...
Have you ever done anything to provoke anyone?
