Kae Sung,
Gae Hyeung,
Un Hae,
Seul San,
all have beautiful views.
Where...
shall I bury you?
Gaya...
Get up.
Get up!
I haven't even started yet!
The alcohol is wearing off now.
Bastard!
Jung Tae. Jung Tae. Jung Tae.
1936 Dalian, Manchuria You precious one.
Ta-da!
You've worked hard.
Let's do another fight in two days, okay?
Its HaWalBin TseGu Rosekae.
Just give him a few stitches on the chin.
So Ma Gang can win easily.
I want 1,000 won more.
After Ma Gang, you're next in ranking.
I'll promote you well.
From Tae Ryun to Shanghai
Okay, I'll give it to you.
Here.
Instead, if you don't keep your promise,
you're going to have to pay in multiples.
Rest up!
How much further?
It will take 2 more days.
Long time no see.
It's your third time at our store, right?
Living well I see.
Drinking with the money you earned from fighting.
But,
I heard a dirty rumour.
That I won because you let me.
Is that right?
You're talking about a fix when you beat the heck out of me?
If you won, just enjoy the victory,
instead of picking a fight.
Stop.
Stop there you bastard!
Even if I do this?
Let's see.
Show me your real skills. Show me!
How did you find out?
I don't like women getting beat up.
Look carefully.
Because from now on it's real.
North of Luoyang, Henan, there is a small mountain.
The mountain may be small but there is only one there.
Everybody who died in the big city nearby was buried there.
So that mountain was called, the mountain with a lot of burial sites and
a place where dead people go.
That is what they thought of the mountain.
That mountain is named Boong Mang.
A few days ago, your father came to that mountain.
Incense from Shanghai is placed there.
When you get there, the incense should still be burning.
I don't have a father.
So get lost.
Come to San Nagi in Shanghai.
I'll be waiting.
The ferry will soon arrive in Shanghai.
We hope you enjoy your trip.
8 Years ago (Year 1928) - Shin Eui Joo Region
The last one is always the crappiest.
Hey, you punk! Stop there!
Hey, get up. Get up!
Let go of me! Let go!
You!
You think I'm taking you because you're pretty?!
People like you deserve more than a beating!
Just go on selling some rice baskets.
Why are you butting into our territory? Huh!
If you loiter, you're in Shin Eui Joo, but even when you try to run, you're only at Yongampo.
What's making you so confident that you're doing this?
Ai, I ought to-
Hey there, hyungs!
This younger one worked all day long,
so I kind of feel crappy.
If you stop there, you won't have to crawl back home and
you can eat rice rather than sipping on porridge.
You should see yourselves as lucky, hyungs.
Crazy bastard.
The second thing I hate the most are women beaters.
For your information, the first thing
- that I hate is - Shut up, you bastard.
How did you know?
That I...
don't like my father.
Are you okay?
If you didn't interfere, I would have shoved this into his eye.
Interfere? Me?
If you beat them, the whole gang would show up.
I'll end up getting what you just gave them so don't think its over.
Let go! Leave it!
Stay still.
When you pull a carriage all day long, these kinds of injuries happen all the time.
This won't do much for the scar, but it'll help with the healing.
I'm not trying to show off, so stay still.
When the train arrives, that means I'm at the station. If something happens, come and look for me.
Like what you said, since I caused this mess, I'll clean up the mess.
Here. Done.
Put this on your wound.
Then...
I'm Jung Tae, Shin Jung Tae.
What about you?
See you again.
I'm...
Deguchi Gaya.
Episode 1
Move out of the way! Move!
Go go!
Move, move!
Go, go, go!
You're comparing me to you? Why can't we both just earn our wages well?
"The winner takes all, and the loser falls to his death."
Hey, Shin Jung Tae. You!
- Do it right! - Fighting!
Do it properly!
I got it, you bitch!
Go, go!
Fighting!
Go faster!
I lost to you. (In Japanese)
Wish I had gotten the good runner. (In Japanese)
Thank you! (In Japanese)
Ah, thanks...
It's because you're heavy.
Are you happy betraying me like that? Does it make you feel good?
Get it straight.
It was you who wanted to bet and you who said winner takes all.
You're the type that is literal with everything.
Let's eat, I'll buy.
Really?
You cheap bastard.
You should be beaten for three years with a stick.
Is this a meal? Is it?
Then give it here.
It's not enough to eat rice by the bowls, why sweet potato all the time?
That's why your fart smells awful!
Some don't even have grass soup to eat. We should be thankful that we are eating this.
I'm leaving.
Take it easy. They say that there is no medicine for collapsing due to the heat.
Since I paid off the carriage, all the earnings are mine.
When I'm running, I'm making money. I don't have time to laze around.
Aja!
This sleepy wench.
Wake up.
Jung Tae is here.
The old saying: "Use persimmon to catch a bear."
I guess the persimmon for your sleep is Jung Tae.
You like him that much?
Ajushhi. You like that Mokpo lady that much?
If you ditch work while I'm gone, you'll hear from your mother.
You're here, Jung Tae?
Do you think I'm as dumb as a post!? I won't be fooled aga-
What can I do? The saliva trail here...
Jung Tae, just a minute!
Where did I put that thing?
Found it!
You're here?
Oh... yeah.
Look at that sweat... You're hot, right?
You want some sugar water?
I'm sick of sweet or just water.
Here.
Take it. This amount is okay.
If you're caught?
Say it.
If you're fired?
I'll beg?
I like you smiling the most.
I'll accept the intention only.
Ahh, that righteousness of yours.
Can't you just let it slide?
Give me the medicine. Chung Ah is waiting.
Where did my mind go?
I'm leaving.
Again.
Shin Chung Ah.
I told you not to come to the kitchen.
Why don't you listen?
There you go again.
Go out, I'll do it.
Leave it.
The rice is about done.
Really?
If mom was alive,
the person who wouldn't be allowed in the kitchen is you.
If I wasn't disabled,
I wouldn't let you in the kitchen.
We are here.
You've worked hard. -Thank you.
The rest is for you.
Thank you!
Have a nice day! Thank you!
Thank you!
Hey!
It's been a while.
I'm not "hey."
You didn't tell me your name, did you?
Gaya.
What?
Deguchi Gaya.
Ga-ya.
But, what's up with you?
Did those guy's bother you again?
No.
There's no need to be nervous.
The ride is free.
I didn't know there was a place this beautiful.
I know, right?
When I came here to fish, I didn't notice.
Now that I step back and look, it's picturesque.
I'm sorry.
Also,
thank you.
For what?
Of course, I would do that.
Is your mouth blocked?
Ah. You were doing so well.
Hey!
You're wasting your punches.
Can you learn the basics this way?
Give him a hook, his side is showing.
That's the way!
Boxing is about hooks.
His intestines are probably twisted, so he can't do anything.
Stand him up.
Hey, Jjang Ddol.
Open your eyes.
Hey.
I know you're not dead.
You're 100 won behind in payments. How can I make a living like this?
It was raining
way too much.
That's your problem.
My job is to collect the installment even if I have to cut you open.
You know, right?
Give me a little more time...
Hey!
Did you see?
That's how you do martial arts.
Yes.
Is that for real?
This was just a small stretch of my hand.
What do you have eyes for?
That is, uhh.
Stand him up.
I won't look. Stand him up.
Stop it.
Who are you?
Stop it?
You grew up, Shin Jung Tae.
It's all the payment, including Jjang Ddol's payment.
Now he has no reason to be hit by you.
Jung Tae...
You S.O.B. You've forgotten my words to you before?
How dare you talk back!
You...avoided it.
Your fist won't even kill a fly.
I could close my eyes and avoid it.
I only got hit by you on purpose because you were a pest.
I'll avoid you 3 times and then get hit 2 times.
But it all ends here.
You must have lost your senses.
Come on.
Yahh.
Three!
Well...
One hit!
Hey!
This is getting fun!
You S.O.B.!
This bastard!
I know you won't let this pass.
But if you're going to come and kill me, be ready to die too.
Why did you interfere?
It would have been over after a few beatings.
Then, you should have got a beating where I couldn't see you.
That bastard is poison.
Just like a mad, vicious dog: a poison.
He'll rip you apart.
It doesn't matter.
Keep this a secret from Chung Ah.
Okay.
Orabonies (gentlemen), welcome.
Why were you so quiet for so long?
I was busy with the business.
Didn't you miss me?
Of course I missed you!
You all know the drill, right?
Okay, Unni!
The food table is coming!
I'll be right back, so drink up!
Aigoo, my stomach! Aigoo!
- Ok Ryeon, you're here! - Unni!
I have a stomach ache.
See you later.
Cheer up!
Have you gone nuts?
Get your butt out of here!
Let go of me!
Ah! It hurts!
Didn't I tell you not to go near the gisaeng's (Korean geisha) room or not?
Do you want to see your mother croak?
It makes sense that a gisaeng's daughter should go to a gisaeng's room. Should she go to the kitchen instead?
You can laugh right now?
It was your mother who put you in the herbal medicine store, to break your link from here.
If you don't want your hair pulled out, stay put there.
It's delicious.
If there's some left over, pack some for me tomorrow.
To give to Jung Tae?
It's always Jung Tae, Jung Tae.
Why do you like that guy who shows no affection?
You're eating all that?
Give some to Mr. Choi Po Soo.
He eats pollack pancakes, doesn't he?
Gosh, how did you know Choi Po Soo is here?
Mom only sings in front of him.
Didn't you know that?
Did you sell all the leather?
Yes, since so many people were looking for bear skin, they were easy to sell.
Drink some water.
I'm frightened at the mere mention of a bear.
This person, worrying needlessly.
Are you going to Shanghai?
Yes.
Please give my regards to Teacher Baek Beom.
He'll be more happy to hear your voice than 100 gold bars.
Is Jung Tae doing well?
He has his mother's brains and
he's like his father when it comes to his heart.
He's stubborn and does not kneel easily.
Yes.
What the heck is this guy?
Aiyoo!
How dare you dig around.
Hey, you distasteful bastard.
You should be at home, but why are you wandering around?
You have to offer something to the king of the beggars.
Don't you know the rules?
You want me to slit your stomach?
You want your stomach slit, right?
What is this? -You were going to slit his stomach? Go ahead and try!
But if you're going to do it, do it right.
If you cut him open, I'll still be breathing. Then you are all going to die.
So, go ahead and kill him!
No. It's not like that.
Get lost.
That S.O.B! Darn!
I said not to.
We won't starve. Don't sift through the garbage.
Why, like a beggar...
I'm sorry, my daughter.
Saying sorry,
I'm getting sick of hearing that.
If you're really sorry, then please stop.
Look.
Within these collected garbage,
here is some tofu.
Grandma, a bowl.
You have to get beaten up everyday, huh?
Ahhh! Let's talk with some tact.
I'm ticked off as it is.
Aiyoo.
Eat it.
Gosh damn it.
The heavens sent down a rope for you, but you can't grab it. (There's a golden opportunity, but you can't take it.)
That's what I'm saying.
If we're able to be the transporters, then getting 50,000 won wouldn't be that hard.
Is 50,000 won all?
They say that Dobi Gang (train smuggling gang) owns at least two houses.
Two?
Isn't this and that the same as rolling in a field of dog poop anyways?
So then, before we die, shouldn't we do it big?
Gosh, I'm so frustrated.
You seem to have a sweet story to tell.
Spill it.
5,000 won became what?
Am I just barking like a dog?
Hey. At least pretend to listen, will you?
I'm not interested.
You get maybe 2 wons for a bucket?
If you work until you drop with those nets,
you'll get about 1000 won in a year or so.
Chung Ah's surgery fee is 10,000 Won, right?
-Stop it. -That's right.
It will take you 10 long years of labor!
Do you think Chung Ah will survive until then?
This bastard!
Did you see a rickshaw that only takes big roads?
You have to take shortcuts here and there to make more than your competitors.
It sounds like dirty work because I told you it's smuggling, right?
But it's all business.
A wholesale business.
If you use Chung Ah to convince me like that one more time, I'm not going to leave you alone.
Do you understand?
You, you should listen to me after taking out your prejudice out of your ears.
Do you think just anyone can get to a transporter position for the Dobi Gang?
Instead of bowing down, you just fire up in anger.
Even if you have to slather yourself in poop, you have to save Chung Ah
Even if Chung Ah hates what you do, save her first and then hear her resentment.
That's what a brother does, Jung Tae.
Smuggling has 3 players.
A person called Santa, the one who smuggles.
Below him, a transporter.
He buys them at wholesale.
Then he sells the items to the buyers and then the buyer to the customers.
Hey.
Are you nervous? (Shaking)
Why would I be?
It's because I'm cold.
I can go with you if you're scared.
Don't look at me that way, okay?
When I was 3 years old, I was kicking the can around
when others were being breast fed.
I was chewing on tree bark and fought through, okay?
You know it well, right?
I'm going.
Hyungnim, this is the boy I was telling you about.
My friend, Dog Nose, said he'll talk about you to the Poong Cha, the second in command of Dobi Gang.
If you get the transporter position, you get so much for just transporting the goods.
Consider it an investment.
It's 6,000 won.
6,000 won?!
Don't worry about anything. Good work.
Who am I?
Punk, who am I?
Jang Tae, Chung Ah can live now.
It has the packer's sentiments.
Would it kill you if you at least tasted it?
It's probably a half wit.
I can't even tell if you know how to wrap in clothes properly.
What?
I should just wack-
Forget it.
Being so good natured, I'll hold back.
Why do you dislike me? I want to know the reason.
Because I like your brother?
Because you're afraid that I'll get in the way of your brother's loving bond with you?
Like him after I die.
After he's lost all feelings for me after my death.
Live with him.
I'm already a huge lump that he has to carry.
I don't want you to carry it too, Unni.
Girl stop it. I don't want to hear it.
Eonni,
What?
Sing a song. I suddenly want to hear you screech.
Those guys are the ones screeching.
Who is that ugly girl?
The girls I love the most in the world are both here.
They're all here.
What's going on? You normally faint just by looking at alcohol.
There's an occasion for it. Something good has happened.
Chung Ah, do you want to get married to me when you grow this big?
Are you crazy? Whose life are you trying to mess up?
But still you should get married to Oppa..
Ok Ryeon unni was about to sing a song. You guys ruined it.
Oh yeah, let's hear our Ok Ryeon sing a song.
Let's hear it!
If you put me on a pedestal, you don't think I can do it?
Wearing a rugged hat, shot pants with holes and chewing tobacco stubs. That's my own style.
Did I ask you for food? Did I ask for clothes? I had recommended some bitter rice wine.
But in Jongroe~
Osaka, Japan - Ilgookhwae Headquarters (Powerful Japanese leaders)
I think we've found Shinjo.
Are you sure?
I'll make sure that it is real.
Sending you there is the same as going myself.
Take my anger
and show it to him. Then punish him for his sins.
I accept the order.
Lady Gaya,
what should I do with her?
Sinuiju
- How much is this? - Oh, it's 1 cent.
How much is this?
Well, the problem is... if I receive merchandise from you, the train track faction guys will wrack this store.
I'll take out 10 cents for each one of you.
They are so vicious.
20.
I'm sorry, Gaya. Let's wait until things have calmed down.
What was in yesterday's merchandise?
Hey.
Whenever there's a chance, this seems to fly out.
Sorry.
Those guys... I heard that they're smugglers by boat. How did you get tangled up with-
It's not something you should concern yourself with.
Everyone knows that they are really vicious.
You know. If you avoid them because they are vicious and run from them, because they are scary. You can't stay alive.
I just want to live without worrying about food in a house that doesn't leak when it rains.
If I have to become more fierce because of them, then there's no limit to how vicious I can become.
Let's stop talking about this. It's not fun.
So uh-
Jang Tae! Jang Tae!
What is it?
Something terrible has happened. What are we going to do now?
What's the matter?
What's wrong?
Where's Dog Nose?
How would I know?
You planned it with Dog Nose and he fled with the money, you bastard!
When you came, he said to just go along with it. That's really all.
What money would I have? Why are you doing this to me?
It's not you
who he wanted to get.
Ahh! You!
Look straight into my eyes. If you lie, I'm going to kill you.
Where's Dog Nose? - I... I don't-
Where is he?!
I don't know. I'm telling the truth.
That guy, Dog Nose was my friend from SeoSan.
He used to eat at my house.
That bastard.
Don't cry.
I'm sorry, Jung Tae.
I never dreamed things would turn out like this.
Don't even talk about it.
I have to meet them.
Poong Cha.
Jung Tae!
I can't let this one slide. I won't let them get away with this.
Jung Tae. Dobinori Gang is a notch above Dog Nose or any other gangs.
If you go, you'll end up dead.
If I don't have that money, Chung Ah will die. And if she dies, I'll die anyway!
Get the information by today
as to where those bastards are.
It looks good. Looks good.
Hey! Hyungnims are entering!
I'm not allowing anybody to go home as a stiff, got it? -Yes!
Come out, Poong Cha!
If you don't spit out my money, you'll die right here.
What bastard did it? Come out!
Get inside.
Get inside!
If I catch you peeking, you're dead.
Do you know who we are?
I know. Dobinori Gang.
The ones who use trains to smuggle.
The ones who swindle money like son of a bit*hes.
Don't start.
I can acknowledge that you got some guts.
But you should know your place.
Hurry and go home.
I'm in a good mood today, so I'm letting you go.
I don't give a crap about your mood.
The important thing is that I'm feeling crappy.
I'm Poong Cha.
I don't remember taking anything from you so I have nothing to spit out. Try to kill me.
If you deny and hide the fact, you think I'm going to let this go?
The money you're spending on drinking is my sister's life line.
Give it to me. Down to the last cent.
You're not understanding. Shall we take a look at how strong your fists are?
Boy, your body is all tensed up.
This kid was having a little fit.
He's not finished yet.
Wow. It reminds me of Poong Cha when he was young.
Was I like that?
Of course. Just thinking about it makes me sick.
Jung Tae! Jung Tae.
Jung Tae.
From Shin Eui Joo station
to Satong Market
to cover that distance
if I run until I collapse,
I'll make one cent.
From there
I buy wood with
30 cents.
With water
I drink it as lunch to fill my stomach.
Then I'm left with just 70 cents
in my hands.
That's how I made that money.
That's how I saved that money.
- 'Dobi' for flying and 'nori' for riding. - I'm going to join the Dobi Gang.
Are you crazy? Do you want to die?
Do you want to fight?
One or two people dying won't be good enough.
If you want to kill me, then come in prepared to die.
Become my dog.
If he's not there, then Dobi Gang won't exist.
- Even if I'm mad and angry, I don't have a place to go. - I'm going to stop liking Jung Tae.
- It took me 18 years to find you. - Don't touch Gaya. She doesn't deserve it.
I'm going to kill you!
You have to live in order to get revenge.
Have you seen my dad?
You can live.
How dare you call yourself my dad!
Where is Jung Tae?
Please let me in the Dobinori Gang.
Jung Tae.
Shin Jung Tae!
