Think this is some picnic?
Shut up, idiot!
Go away! Go away!
Go Gangsan High!
Get out of here, idiot!
Gi-dong! Gi-dong! Gi-dong! Gi-dong!
Gi-dong! Gi-dong!
- Go Gangsan High! - Gi-dong...
What?
This...
a matter of our school's honor.
Whoever challenges us,
must be taught a lesson.
Everyone get together and fight.
This...
is war.
War!
Let's go!
You!
Let's fight!
To sum it up in one word, it was war.
Blood flowed out of the students from both schools...
...until it clogged the sewers.
But the brutal fighting went on forever.
Out of all the fights from field trips,
it went down as the bloodiest in history!
Our old classmates were great,
but that leader from Seoul was incredible.
He wiped out our school's best fighters.
And...
like a hero...
Like a hero?
He was dragged away.
- Stop kidding around! - You're putting us on again!
So who won the fight?
ls that important, idiot?
Of course it is!
The fight itself is important!
Before l graduate, l wanna make history, too.
You bet.
Who is it?
All of you get out!
Lie backwards!
Get it right, you bastards! Roll right!
Roll left!
Go forward!
Pile up, you bastards!
Roll right!
Roll left!
Get it right, Ju-sup!
Keep going until you sweat the nicotine out!
Teacher!
What?
l can't do it any more.
Please have mercy...
Keep going!
Teacher!
What now?
We'll do Ju-sup's share,
so please let him rest.
Out of friendship?
No, loyalty.
- Take it off. - Yes?
Take it off.
On your head!
Yes?
l said on your head, you bastards!
Hey, Ju-sup!
Put it all on.
What?
Got a problem with that?
lf so, then study hard and become a teacher.
Our new casino on Jeju lsland
is receiving a lot of attention.
With the waivers signed from the Shinjin Gang,
excluding 28% of the territories collaborated with police,
we've acquired 72%.
So about 35 billion won is expected in annual sales.
Congratulations, sir!
Great job.
Now Gyeongju is the only city
we haven't taken yet.
How is that place?
There's a local gangster named Chun-soo Mah...
...but one visit will do the job.
Then we're almost done.
However...
...this may not be the right time...
...to take Gyeongju.
What are you so worried about?
lf our power grows too fast like this,
then many people will watch over us.
So?
The people you'd like to overthrow...
...may target you.
What bastard would challenge our boss?
l can't guarantee it won't happen.
You're the one who proposed to take over tourist cities.
What's gotten into you now?
l'm simply saying...
...that we should be careful.
l guess you're the man for Gyeongju.
Show me what you're made of.
Then we take all the rights here,
and leave you twelve percent.
No way!
l don't need money.
You sure you're a gangster?
Stabbing with sashimi knives, and burying each other,
isn't that our way?
We can't in the first meeting.
Even tax collectors don't do this.
- Good evening, sirs. - Good evening, sirs.
- Hey! -Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir. - Put it down and get out!
- Have a good evening. - Have a good evening.
So what are you going to do?
There's an old saying...
that even an underdog can win at home.
Where are we?
We're in Gyeongju.
And where's Gyeongju?
lt's where l was born and raised!
l'll give you only thirty more minutes...
...to talk.
Boss!
l'll be loyal to you forever.
- Please take me. - Okay, l'll take you under my wing.
Keep it down!
Why couldn't l just say that?
Who is it?
Even if you ask me a thousand times,
my only answer is...
Screw you!
Then you leave me with no choice.
What?
Who's the owner of this club?
You?
lt must be you, curly man.
Yeah, l'm the owner.
Don't you know hiring minors for this kind of club...
...is illegal?
Who the hell are you?
l'm these kids'...
...homeroom teacher.
lf you don't wanna die, do the right thing, huh?
You money mongrels!
Why do you keep staring at me?
Are laser beams going to shoot out of your eyes?
Hey, why did you hire them?
Wanna die, you idiot?
lf you hire them again,
l'll close this place down, and have you thrown into jail.
Get out, you punks!
Boss!
- Nevermind him. - l said get out!
l'll take care of...
Get out, idiot.
Gi-dong Choi!
Gi-dong Choi from Gangsan High, right?
The old Young-joon l used to know is a gangster now.
lt's a strange world, isn't it?
lt's even stranger you're a teacher now.
So what happened to you?
ls a test required to be a gangster these days?
lt's a long story.
Are you married?
No, and you?
Me, neither.
Earlier... it seemed like you're no small time.
You know, l was always in the top percentile.
Yeah...
Anyhow, it's nice to see you...
...still alive. Let's drink.
Yeah.
Good to see you, too.
Gi-dong, l was worried how you'd turn out.
But you did all right.
No, you're the one.
Drink!
Bastard...
Look at you...
Wow! Nice car!
Please, get in.
You probably didn't pay for this...
- ls it stolen? - Bastard...
Hey, stop joking around and get in.
Joking?
You think the great Gi-dong is joking?
Back then, you know... you'd get nailed for that, right?
Yeah, l know so get in.
No thanks, man.
A teacher can't be seen...
riding in a gangster's car.
You're a big shot now, huh?
See ya'.
Well, take it easy.
- Get some rest. - Yes, sir.
What do you want?
- ls this Mr. Chun-soo Mah's house? - So what?
- He's called for, reserve forces training. - Give it here and leave.
- Are you Mr. Ma? - Give it here and leave!
l have to hand him this in person.
Just give it to me and leave!
l can't!
My job's on the line!
Are you going to keep talking back?
Just give it to me and go!
lf l don't deliver this in person,
my superior will kill me!
Who are you?
R--Reserve forces training.
l should be done by now.
This is the last one.
Shit!
What the hell does this country want from me?
Shit!
Hey, boss.
You sure we can do this?
Maybe we shouldn't beat our teacher.
You call that pig a teacher?
He's a thug.
- Take it. - This is crazy.
Don't feel guilty.
lt'll bring peace to our school.
All the revolutions in the past... like April 19th and May 16th
...were started by students like us.
Got it?
Make sure...
...you only break two of his ribs.
Shit! Why isn't he coming?
He'll come for sure.
Surprise attacks are done unnoticed like this.
You little punks!
Hey, kids.
You think beating me up will make a difference in the world?
Before you regret it later, get your acts together.
Once time passes, it never comes back.
We don't wanna live like this, either.
You don't understand.
You don't understand guys like us.
Bastard...
l know
No, you don't. You know nothing of it.
- l know. - You don't!
lf l say so, then l do!
Why do you always work me up?
Okay, let's say you do.
l have a question, though.
What's that?
Who's the dirty spy
that always rats on me?
He's quiet these days.
He doesn't steal anymore,
and just sleeps in class.
Really?
And l think he quit working at the club.
Maybe he finally woke up.
Your whipping worked.
Didn't l tell you to stop spying on them?
l just like doing this.
Bye, teacher.
Don't come again.
The boss is here!
Hello, boss.
You meatheads!
This is why you're called country mutts!
Scatter and watch out for those assholes from Seoul!
Yes, boss.
- Watch like a hawk! - Yes, boss.
Boss...
Boss! Boss! Boss!
lt's me, boss!
- Oh, it's you. - Yes, it's me.
- So did you check it out? - Yes, boss.
He was one of Gil-nam's men,
but he was fired a while ago.
- Really? - Yes, boss!
So he carries around those boys of his,
and sells his boss's name
to make a living.
So we've been nervous all this time because of that prick?
Don't worry about him any more, boss.
lt's not like you to get so nervous.
Shit!
- Let's go drinking! - Yes, boss!
Hey, boys!
Who the hell are you?
Let go of me, bitch!
Let go!
You asshole...
You should've listened to me.
Throw him out.
We should bury him instead.
You're in charge of this city now.
His strategy was history in the making.
He wipes out his enemy right as they get sick of waiting.
A perfectly well-planned maneuver.
That's what l call art.
The ruler of this city has changed in one night.
- So l made a decision. - What?
To be one of Young-joon's men.
- What happened? - l don't know.
We were drinking. l called him a kiss ass
and he chases us.
- Shoot. - lt's your turn.
Let's just play.
You bastards make me sick.
The army dumps me, and now you betray me?
Come here! Come here!
You know how l feel when l deliver those notices?
And in front of the office girls...
...you know how l feel when my officer scolds me?
Okay, okay, please stop. Your life's tough, okay?
What the fuck do you know?
Stand in a row.
l'll count down from five.
Five...Four...
- Three... - Hey!
You're too damn loud!
Shut up! Think this is your house?
You're opening the gas valve in a burning house.
Yeah, this is my house. So what are you punks going to do?
Wanna fight?
Man, it stinks.
Who's the asshole that pissed on my tent?
lf l get my hands on that dickhead, he's dead!
Friend! l'm here!
What's a teacher like him have to drink everyday for?
- Sit down. - Okay.
How can you run a business
if you open this late?
Worry about yourself, you good-for-nothing.
- You must be a regular. - Don't you know him?
Who is he?
Back in that field trip fight,
he's the one who fought me.
ls it on your tab again?
Of course!
Give it here.
Wanna join us?
No way.
Because of you l should be exorcised or move out.
You're no teacher.
You drive me nuts...
Give us some food.
Squids are fresh today.
Right, you wouldn't know him.
Anyway, he's the one.
After moving here, l found him like that.
So we became friends.
By the way Young-joon...
...you had it hard because of that field trip, huh?
Stop talking about the old days.
Keep your head up in Seoul.
lf you act like the old days,
you won't survive there.
Anyhow, you were good
at kissing the teachers asses, right?
We're very sorry for disturbing your dinner.
lf you put some kimchi in your soup,
it'll taste better.
Shut the hell up!
Damn punks...
May l help you?
You bastards...
Good evening.
l'm their homeroom teacher. What happened?
Are you teaching them how to fight
instead of studying?
They flew over pool tables, killing each other.
l'm finished eating.
Why don't you eat some more.
l doesn't taste as good as it used to.
You little punks...
You're really asking for a whipping, huh?
Really bad...
You idiots have a brain or not?
Please stop it!
Oh, l'm sorry.
Ju-sup!
- Ju-sup! - Sis...
Did my brother... ...do something wrong?
lt's a misdemeanor.
Please calm down.
lt's not that serious.
Your brother's teacher is taking care of everything.
So don't worry, okay?
Teacher. Teacher, l'm sorry.
- l'm sorry, teacher. - l'm not the teacher...
l'm Ju-sub's teacher.
- Yes, me. - Teacher.
- Teacher, l'm sorry. - Please, don't.
- lt's my fault... - No, it's okay.
...so l'm very sorry.
l'm sorry. l'm sorry.
l'm very sorry. l'm sorry.
- l'm sorry. - No, it's...
l'm sorry.
- l'm very sorry. - Please calm down, miss.
You bastard. Hurry up and go home with your sister.
l'm not going!
A criminal should be punished for his crime!
You...!
l'm sorry.
Come on, sis. l really didn't want to fight...
...but those guys. Trust me once.
You're starting to piss me off.
Follow me!
Sis! Sis! Sis!
Sis, l won't! l won't fight again!
Stand up!
l said stand up!
Did both of you have dinner yet?
Yes?
Don't grab the handles. lt's hot.
Oh, okay.
Please help yourself.
- Let me see. - l'm okay.
l said l'm all right.
- What kind of service is that? - Keep still.
- Give them some kimchi, and... - You!
Shut up!
lf you're human,
try to act with some decency.
Don't you pity me for having to look after you?
l never asked you to.
Don't worry about me, and live your life.
Don't fight again, okay?
This is delicious, isn't it? What do you think?
- Not bad. - Not that again.
l won't be good until you change the sign!
''Ju-sup's Place'' is stupid.
No way.
Take care, sir.
Good-bye, sir.
Ju-sup... Don't fight anymore, okay?
You're dead...
Don't worry about a thing.
Thank you. Good-bye.
Say good-bye to your teacher!
Good-bye, sir!
Okay, bye.
Was her name Ju-ran?
Man, isn't she nice?
l guess... you won't know, since flies only see shit.
When are you going to stop squirming in it?
Get your life straight.
Hyuk-su. Turn the car around.
Come on in. Teacher...
Hello.
Did Ju-sup cause a problem again?
No, he's fine, but...
- One more rice roll! - Okay!
Wait one moment.
Rice roll...
- A bowl of rice! - A bowl of rice.
One ramen, please.
Okay! lt's almost ready.
You'll have it soon.
- Mister, here's the money. - Thanks.
- Come again! - Okay!
- Could you pass this to them? - Sure...
Teacher, over there.
Teacher, one rice roll there, and one over there.
Here's your rice roll.
Clean that table. And wipe it, please.
- Good-bye! - Good-buy!
- Buy! - Study hard!
- Mid-terms are soon, right? - Come on!
Oh, what are you doing?
You can't be doing this.
- No, l'm okay... - Give it to me.
So... what are you doing here anyway?
Well...l... l was going to talk about...
Ju-sup, your brother...
What about him?
From now on, don't worry about Ju-sup anymore.
l'll make him a man.
Trust me.
Hello.
What are you doing here? Haven't left for Seoul yet?
l plan to stay for a while.
So what's there to talk about?
What a strange feeling this is...
Young-joon.
l like Ju-ran very much.
So what?
Just wanted to clear things up.
lf you like her, then give up.
l guess that's life, huh?
l just... ...came to eat ramen noodles.
But... ...can't l like Ju-ran too?
Are you kidding? Hey!
Maybe you forgot who l am.
l'm Gi-dong Choi. Gi-dong Choi from Gangsan High.
Better leave after you eat.
What's wrong with you?
This is why you don't have friends.
There's no one worth it.
What?
Hey, you made some connections?
You got a lot of balls now.
There's a lot to prepare for important business today.
Help us out with some money.
l have no money.
l don't believe girls when they cry to me,
or when teachers whip us out of love,
and there's no way in hell l believe you!
- That's right! - That's right!
l don't have any at all!
Come on in.
- Are you challenging me? - What are you talking about?
l told you to give her up.
Didn't l?
But why the hell did you bring all your clowns here?
Why? Clowns can't eat ramen noodles?
To be honest...
...l'm interested in Ju-ran.
l can't believe this. Hey! l'm Gi-dong Choi!
- l know. - Wanna fight? ls that it?
You think you can fight me?
What?
Sorry. Things have changed.
Did you forget who you're talking to?
What's changed, huh?
You think l'm chickenshit
since l'm a teacher now, huh?
Just go after you eat.
Hey, l'm not finished yet.
All of you get out!
Get out, you thugs!
Teacher, teacher!
- What are you doing? - Ju-ran!
These bastards are all gangsters.
Don't sell ramen noodles to them.
- What? - Get out! l said get out!
Get out!
Stop!
Sit down!
Put your chopsticks down!
What's the matter with all of you?
Hurry and get out! Get out, you bastards!
l said leave! All right,
then fight me instead!
Come on! l said come on!
Let's go!
Today isn't the right time for ramen noodles.
Hurry and get out!
l'm sorry, Ju-ran. l'll come back later.
Hey! Hey!
Come back for what, huh?
lf you come back,
you can bet l'll kick your ass!
Gi-dong Choi from Gangsan High.
You definitely lost your touch.
Back then, you'd never act like this.
- How can you treat your friend like that? - Friend?
ln high school, he couldn't even talk to me.
He's not my friend.
What's wrong with our country's police?
Hoodlums like them should be taken away!
Right, Ju-ran?
You're more like a gangster.
Boss.
Want us to take care of that bastard?
Bastard? ls he a friend of yours?
Sorry, boss.
Don't act rash to him.
Anyway, a friend's a friend.
Hey! What are you kids doing?
Hey, idiots! Get them out of the way!
Yes, sir.
Move, you punks! Get outta here!
Leave them!
- Why are you here? - Please take us.
We'll be loyal to you forever.
Please take us.
Go back to school
Don't be foolish
Boss! We won't move until you take us.
Don't move no matter what!
Move!
Ju-sup! Ju-sup!
What's the plan for today?
Round up the guys after school.
What for?
We didn't have enough yesterday.
lf we go out in large numbers, they'll see our teamwork.
Teamwork!
What's wrong with him this early?
Boss...
Can l ask you something?
Sure.
Do you really like that girl?
Why?
You're different from before.
lt's strange.
You don't even like ramen noodles.
l have to grow a taste for it, right?
Am l doing it right?
Young-joon Park.
Born in Seoul on November 30, 1971.
Head strategist for Hwang Gil-nam of the Nami gang.
Where did you bury Chun-soo Mah?
Who are you?
l'm a cleaner who wipes out garbages...
...like you.
You've got the wrong man.
Yeah? l guess l'll need to investigate.
Better strive for something more hopeful.
That's what l thank you for.
lf l catch a big fish like you,
thirty years in the police force will be worth while.
- Let's go, Hyuk-su. - Yes, sir.
Hey! Mr. Choi!
What's up with the marine training, huh?
Anything wrong?
- Nothing at all. - Something seems wrong to me.
l'm building up my body. l realized...
that l've lost track of my life all this time.
This used to be... a piece of cake.
Don't move no matter what!
Boss! Boss...
Move! Move!
Get outta here!
Hold it!
Do you really want to work for me?
Yes, sir.
Your sister probably won't like it.
lt's my life not hers.
Good. l'll take you.
Thank you, boss.
l'll risk my life for you, boss.
Thank you!
But there's one condition.
Your grades are bad, right?
Get in the top 20 of your class.
Then l'll take you.
l don't take idiots.
Let's go.
Get rid of the kids, and drive the car in.
Go home! Hurry!
Shit!
Go home and study hard, you punks!
Top 20 is fucking impossible!
But l can do it!
Hello?
ls there something wrong?
Did Ju-sup get in trouble again?
ls it that serious?
Teacher.
Sometimes Ju-sup loses his temper.
- But he's really nice... - Look!
Who's breathing so loud? Keep quiet!
Study hard. lt's for your own good.
Teacher!
You must like raw fish.
l'm crazy about it.
lf it wasn't for me, you would've died then.
lf it wasn't your treat, it would be on me, of course.
But l think who buys isn't important.
The point is we're enjoying eating it together.
- Please have some. - l can't!
- l quit drinking. - l see...
Over here!
l told him to come.
- lt's okay, right? - l guess so.
Now, you've both made up.
Cheers!
Come on, cheer up. Talk to each other.
What's there to talk about
between a teacher and gangster?
We're on a different level.
So did you rob anyone today?
l don't do that.
Then what do you do?
Drug dealing? Murder?
Money laundering? Must be human traffic...
All you must know of are two-bit gangsters, huh?
Can't you talk about something else?
Been in touch with your high school friends?
Oh, l forgot.
You had no friends.
You got good grades.
But you had no friends since you were a geek, right?
What's the point of having good grades
if you don't have friends.
True friends.
How about you? Do you still meet anyone...
...of those ''true friends'' of yours?
From what l remember,
you guys swore on blood and...
...showed off in flocks.
They're not around anymore, huh?
l meet a few sometimes.
So then we're no different, right?
At least l studied back then.
What did you do?
What are you trying to prove?
Oh yeah, fighting!
Yeah, you were famous for your fighting.
You were the worst student,
but the best at fighting.
Hey, that's enough!
You spent more days
getting suspended,
and more days reading comic books...
- ...at home. - l didn't read comic books!
You could've bought a house
with all those hospital bills.
What the hell's matter with you?
Why are you so upset?
lf you were me, wouldn't you get upset?
l'm only telling the truth.
You rotten bastard!
l can't stand it any more!
Are you guys mocking me?
At least both of you went to school!
You guys make me drink.
l shouldn't drink, though.
Why did you mock me?
What did you do that for, you beasts?
Whether... l hated her or not,
l wish l had a friend.
You know that?
Even if we fought and
l wanted to rip her hair out,
l wish l had a friend.
You know that?
See?
Doesn't it feel good?
Hold it tight!
Keep going!
Swing!
What are you doing?
Who the hell do you think you are?
Oh, god.
Ju-sub, how did I come home last night?
My boss and teacher brought you home together.
With their own hands.
With their own hands?
Yes, my boss held your upper limbs while teacher held lower parts.
Don't you have any idea how old you are?
Sis! Jesus!
Fold her!
Where's my lunch?
Dame it! How could I go to school?
Okay! Just wait a minute.
I've got much more nutrition and calorie requirements, these days.
Hey, I have something to talk with you.
You should know something about Young-joon, huh?
