SCRIPT by In Jung-ok

hello,

Boksu!

it takes a little bit longer
than expected, right?

okay,

I'll be waiting for you here..
only until I start to feel sleepy.

okay.

DIRECTED by Park Sung-su

sgt.Park,

get me out of here now.

I'm in a hurry.

now I'm here
in the police station.

they busted me
just because I'm an ex-convict.

get me out of here,
I'll do whatever you want.

stunt job?

okay, I'll quit it.

somebody you know in police?

yeah.

hello,

oh, I do not feel sleepy!

feel like smoking.

better make a necklace with it.

more covenient that way.

( I couldn't look at you.. )

( because it felt like.. )

( I can't never.. )

( I can't never see you any more.. )

( the love.. )

( the love I hided inside.. )

( is now here to stay.. )

( and giving me pain.. )

( maybe it's too late.. )

really nice to see you, Kyung.

you look really handsome..

in this suit..

you look really handsome..

in this suit..

you helped me to forget
having been mistreated in the police.

thank you,

Kyung.

what does your girlfriend
do for living?

oh, you're so quick-witted..

she's a musician.

don't overhear my words,
get some manners!

you like her more than me?

yeah!

you must be so happy now.

where are you?

hey,

hey!

Boksu!

Boksu!

he's just ignoring me.

hey!

hey!

hey you!

where are you going now?

oh, you've changed your glove.

it's none of your business.

you're ashamed of it, right?

I said, where are you heading to!

to the action school!

you promised to quit the job,
that's why I set you free.

that's right.

I promised to.

but it was a lie!

okay,
let's go by the law.

you sensed that
I didn't steal their money,
didn't you?

plus, they have no piece of evidence!

I was supposed to be set free
after some investigation.

don't you think so?

actually,
you haven't really done much for me..

then why did you call me?

because I wanted to get out
as soon as possible.

they..must have investigated
this and that about me..
'cause I'm an ex-convict.

that would've cost me a long time.
and that's so bothersome!

I'm a very busy guy,
I can't waste even a single second!

now, 1 day means 10 years to me.

and the worst thing is..
if I had got pissed off
at the police station,

I probably could've started
pick-pocketing again!

you..

saved me from the dark world..

you're great!

you're running much faster than before,
how about starting pick-pocketing again?

that only makes you happy.
all I wanna be is a stunt man.

yesterday, I was so pissed off..
and I felt like quitting stunt job.

but you shouldn't change your life
only because you got pissed, right?

think this way,
yesterday, I just..

fooled you, in short.

okay?

see ya, brother!

alright,
then I'll send Junior to jail.

Junior stole the money.

no, he didn't.

Junior ran away
from the location, didn't he?

I investigated all about it,
'cause I care about you so much.

I think Junior did it.
I'm 100% sure..

it's up to you,

you go to the action school,
and I send Junior to jail.

so shut up and follow me..

get out of here!
now!

get off me!

get out of here!

you get out of here!

you bad guys..

you guys are not stunt men any more!

get out of here..

go away!
go home!

I said, get out of here!

you want me to get out of here?

okay, I'm leaving!

director!

- it's our bad. we've done wrong..
- get off me!

what have you done wrong?

we went to the police station
to take Boksu back.

but he was already gone.

we didn't imagine
he wouldn't show up today..

that is not the point!

I asked you about
what you've done wrong!

it was because..

when the scary investigator asked,
'is there anybody from the big house?'..

our eyes just turned towards him.
it was not intentional.

your eyes?

is he an ex-convict?

I said, he isn't any more!
by my standard!

he is a stunt man!

Ko Boksu,
the stunt man!

forgive us, director.

I hate you guys!

I'm out of this place!

I'm out!

wait a second.

Chan-suk,
let's leave this place together.

hey, you know
they are all weak characters.

they're big and look dark..

so people are looking at them
as if they're gangsters..

and they're constantly
getting annoyed by police officers..

that's why they unintentionally
turned to look at Boksu..

Chan-suk..

human brain has two parts..

the conscious part and..

the unconscious part..

this time, it's the latter one.

it was just..
unconsciously done!

shut up,

stop telling me nonsense.

okay, you're the boss.

shut up.
I don't wanna hear you.
I don't wanna hear you.

I don't wanna hear you!

look at them.

what a scene..

oh..

they're so soft-minded.

what's the use of crying now?

Chan-suk,

I'll look for Boksu.

we don't even have his address.

he didn't want to let his father
know about this job,

so he didn't give us his address..

and he's not carrying
his cell-phone any more.

I think we can find a way.

Chan-suk,

yeah?

I think I like Ko Boksu..

why?

'cause he's so cute..

don't make a mistake
like last time.

good luck!
bye.

you're heading to the studio?

yes.

when are you gonna have
your first record out?

not yet..

you started it way before.
but still don't have the first record?

quit it!

you want me to
take you to the studio?

no thanks, dad.

come home early.

dad,

do you like 'Ko Boksu'?

who?

I've been listening to this.

it touches a string in my heart.

I'm going.

she really is a character.

a kid knows about Ko Boksu?

( Ko Boksu best selection )

- try it for me.
- yes, sir.

what the hell is going on?

you must know what's going on.

ma'am, check your purse.

my purse?

here it is.

hey, you check your wallet.

I'm not carrying one.

oh, damn..

Boksu..

you, son of bitch!

apologize to me!

- ouch!
- you gotta make an apology!

don't grab me by hair!

are you a pick-pocket?

put the wallet in my pocket..

maybe..

you won't stop pick-pocketing
even if I urge you to.

but please quit it!

once you become a pick-pocket,

you can never get other jobs.

I used to be one!
trust me!

trust me!

look, if you keep on living like this,
you're gonna die on the street..

in the end!

know what I'm saying?

and..

the jail is like..

you can never imagine
what it's like to be in there!

damn!

go! now!

you wanna catch the kid?

I got the wallet back from him.

let's give it to the owner.

what happened?

what happened?

he picked mine, too.

if jail can make
a good man out of a thief,

I'll become a police today!

if you're not doing your spy job right,
I'll send Junior to jail..

even without me,
you're already a very good investigator!

I want to do it more easily.
a pick-pocket can tell the difference
between pick-pockets and ordinary people
much better than me.

that's why I'm using you as a spy.

I'm not that good at spying.

it doesn't fit my character!

spies are doing it
because they are intimidated.

if you don't help me
to catch one today,

I'll send Junior to jail.

it's fun to keep you as my man.
feels better than sending you to jail.

you look like a real investigator now.

wear your 'suit' from tomorrow.

life hurts..

hope you to get a brain tumor, too!

only that can help you
to grow up, Jung-dal.

good bye.

hey,

how about me going out
with your brother?

I'm sorry, what?

your brother..

keeps on chasing me.

my brother is married.

I know.

and he's getting along well
with his wife, too.

I was getting along well
with Boksu, too.

what's the difference
between Boksu and your brother?

Boksu is not married.

oh..

do you think
it's okay to break up a boy and a girl?

but you shouldn't break up
a husband and a wife?
is that what you think?

but I think differently.
I think both cases are the same.

that makes sense.

Mirae,

do you like my brother?

I like Boksu.

you beat me.

right, I don't like your brother.

it's Boksu whom I like.

but who knows?
maybe I can start to like your brother.

in place of Boksu.

oh..

she's so mean.

she must have felt
something from it.

Boksu, I miss you.

life is so boring without you.

what did you say?

don't know how to handle it?

terminate them
like I did before.

honey,

good, sell as many cars as you can.
bye.

why are you getting out of home
so often?

no, it's not often.

it's first time for me
to visit your new office.

don't you know that
father can come back home at any time?

you gotta be at home to help him.

I'm not a house-keeping dog..

what did you say?

no, nothing..

nothing? what?
if you want to say something,
speak it out!

why are you always mumbling?

if I spoke it out..

you'd say I'm not obedient..

have you ever tried
to speak it out?

how do you know that
I'd say you're not obedient?

didn't I tell you that
you don't have to clean my office?

if you want to clean something,
go home and clean it!

I see..

but let me empty this waste basket..

I said, don't!

okay..

what do you want to eat?

roasted beef ribs!

okay, let's go.

give it to your mom.

thank you, honey.

- hey,
- yes.

I don't think we need kids.

why?

I want kids.

you do?

it sounds like
you're pregnant
and I'm trying to make you abort it.

do we really need kids?

I don't think so.

I want kids!

I wanna get pregnant and
give birth to a baby..and feed it..

and buy expensive clothes to my baby..
I want to raise my baby
as a kid from a rich family..

you like a 'rich family' that much?

yes..

I don't really like it.

but I guess you do.

that's natural for you..

let's go have beef ribs.

I'll definitely make my kids
have piano lesson, too..

excuse me, ma'am.

where is the restroom?

restroom?
over there..

long time no see.

get out of this place right now!

Ko Boksu!

you can call it a day.

thieves are automatically
coming to you.

it's so easy to catch them!

come with me, ma'am.

Kyung,

maybe I'm childish,
but at least I'm not mean.

you know that, right?

no.

you don't know?

do you think
I'm trying to split you and him now?

yes.

oh dear lord..

are you a christian?

you're making an atheist to need a god,
can't you see that?

don't pray to god, then.

are you a kid?

are you playing words game
with me now?

I told you
I don't want to see you!

did I want you to see me? no!
I said, 'don't go out with that guy!
you idiot!

why am I an idiot?

you're an idiot,
because you love a criminal.

when you got a crush on me,
did you know everything about me?

how could you be so sure that
I was a musician?
who knows? I may have lied to you.

good, I'm a criminal, too.
now you hate me?

you're satisfied?

I'm afraid..

I have to ask you to leave..

you're annoying other people..

sometimes you have
something to yell about!

Kyung! wait!

Kyung,

yes, you can fall in with anybody.
I understand that..

you may get close to somebody
without knowing what exactly he's doing..

if that is the case,

it's very tough to quit him..
even after you've learned
what exactly he's doing..

but in your case,
you knew it from the start..

knowing that,
you started go out with him.

I'm worried about that point.

you don't really have a sense of reality.

you're just going on and on
until everything's messed up.

it seems to me that
you're that kind of a girl.

Mr.Han,

yeah,

what did you see in me?

your look..your character..
your job..

everything about you.

I saw the same things in you..

your look..character..
your job..

but, in him..

I could see his 'heart'
from the start..

I've seen many people
who's got a good character.

but I don't think
that means they have real 'hearts'.

his heart..

makes my heart cry..

every second of every minute
of every hour.

he is very special.

not only to me..

but also to this world..
I didn't imagine such a person can exist.

I've never seen a person like him..

I've met..

the best person in the world.

I'm with the best heart
in the world now.

move your body quicker!

quicker!

faster! faster!

( Junior, )

- ( how's it going? )
- Mirae!

( Boksu..? )

( Boksu.. )

Boksu..

Boksu..

( ever since I met you.. )

( I realized what a love is.. )

Mirae..

( I gave up everything
to love you.. )

don't cry, Mirae..

don't you know
how much I like you?

yeah..

I like you so much..

but that person is..
stuck so deeply..
into the very center of my heart.

so if I took her away from it,
I might get a heart attack..

I'm doing this
only because I don't want to die..

so please forgive me..

please..

pretty and slim Mirae..

beautiful Mirae..

eat well..
and take care of yourself..

( the time we spent together.. )

( ended just like a daydream.. )

Boksu, say something..

( you took everything away from me.. )

you're going out now?

yeah.
I haven't seen you for long.

I don't have
a swimming class today.

how about dad?

he's gone to work.
and Misun went to church.

mom,

are you seeing somebody lately?

no.

are you seeing..

my 'presumptive' father?

or..

are you seeing your 'another' kid?

Kyung,

your dad is..

Chun Nak-kwan..

the hotel owner, Mr.Chun.

okay,
let me ask you one more question.

is Kang..

a real son of dad?

yeah..

then, you definitely
have another kid.

- yes.
- where is he?

I know you're not gonna tell me.

well..

why am I still thinking that
I'm not a real daughter of my dad?

maybe because you don't want to be
a real one.

daddy hates you because he hates me.
'cause you took after me..

and..

he loves you..
because he loves me.

love comes to me and..
hatred comes to you.

you're suffering because of me.

'cause you took after me.

oh..

it's complicated..puzzling..difficult!

am I losing out
because I took after you?

yeah.

then, if I just live like Kang,
am I gonna be okay?

don't be like him.
I don't like you to live like that.

I really can't understand
my parents.

you two have
some psychological problems.
I think you must go see a doctor.

mom,

how about getting divorced?

forget it,
I'm going out.

I gotta find a way out today.

oh..

Jung-dal is making my life a dirty one!

it's not the journalist,

it's Jung-dal!
damn Jung-dal..damn..

damn Jung-dal!

hey!

you don't even say
good morning to your daddy?

why is he wearing that suit?
makes me nervous..

Byulli,

recite it.

no, I won't.

I can get the 'feeling'
only when the original writer's reciting it.

you're right.

let me read it first.

the more I love you,

the more I feel like throwing up.

maybe I'm falling in love with you.

love is a cold bloody chocolate.

it's bitter sweet.

bitter sweet.

you're bitter sweet..

and dizzy for me.

what does that mean?

just pretend to understand.

- finished?
- yeah.

Chun Kyung,

interview for you!

let's take a walk.

I thought..

I can give Boksu to you.

but..

I've missed Boksu a lot lately.

so I'm telling you now,

let's have a fight here,

and winner takes Boksu.

Mirae, you know what?

even if I lost to you,
I'm going out with Boksu.

I don't feel guilty any more.

no matter how cool you are,

if you keep trying to split us,

I'll fight with you.

now,

I don't feel sorry for you any more..

what if I beg you?

what if I beg you on my knee?

still no chance.

you've changed a lot.

yes.

my heart got strong.

what else can I do now?

I'm sorry..

help me to catch one and you can go.
or you have to be with me all day long.

you're not gonna use me forever,
are you?

until Junior cleans himself of suspicion
or you give him up.

you can start this job again.
as long as you're helping me,
I won't bust you.

that will never happen!
I trust my hands!

my hands are pretty ones!

I don't trust your hands.

Junior, once I got you,
you'll die!

hello everyone!

this guys is a cop!

don't pick other's wallets!

or you'll be sent to jail.

you forgot Junior?

I'll catch him first..

and hide him away!

I told her not to run so many times.
but she's running again.

let's go.

you really love to hold my hand.

yes.

isn't that for kids?

what's wrong with kids' stuff?

notebooks for adults are higher-grade,
aren't they?

I don't care about the grade.

but you're a..

keyboardist for a rock band!

actually, we don't even use music sheets.
we're just playing without scores.

you pick your music sheets, too.

why?

what is your zodiac sign?

I..I don't know much about
those kind of things.

then, what is your 'age-animal'?

snake!

there's no snake here.

okay, let's choose fishes for us.

'cause I'm pisces..

I have one fish in my home, too.

the 'Kyung' fish.

'Kyung' fish.

hey,

write lyrics on this music sheet..
so that I can write a melody to that.

lyrics?

the words!

oh..

write it for me.

oh..

what's the 'oh..' for?

oh..

what's the 'oh' for!

don't raise your voice..

you wrote good words before,
didn't you?

you can write lyrics..
just like you wrote that for me..

it took as long as 2 weeks
for me to write that..

even 1 year's fine with me.
please write lyrics for me..

it's gonna take more than a year
for my band to save money to put out a record.

okay?

might sounds funny to you..

it's okay to be funny.

if it's funny,
I'll write funny melody.

and if it's sad,
I can write a sad melody to it.

you don't have to try to write
a 'cool' lyrics..

why did you buy that?

you're going to the location,
aren't you?

yeah..

but..

why did you buy that?

'cause you're wearing a suit.

look,

your suit..

has some dirt on it.

I don't want you to look dirty
on the screen.

wow..you must die!

yeah! you got it!

Ko Boksu!

where have you been?

why did you not come to see us?

you cute!

what happened?

Boksu!

where are you going now?

I'm going to find Junior.

quit him.

he used to be not like this.
it's me who turned him delinquent.

he was so innocent, you know.

have you checked his home?

he's not at home.

come back to your job first,
you can find him later.

you wanted me to quit this job,
didn't you?

well, I can't come back to you guys right now,
'cause now I'm too dirty.

you didn't have a shower today?

you can have a shower here.

a shower room over there.

please get some sense of humor, director.

how can you imagine that
I didn't have a shower
in this hot summer day?

anyway, I'm dirty now.

I'll wash it up
and come back!

did you..start the 'job' again?

I started something dirtier
than pick-pocketing..

I'll be back, director.

I know,
I know you're coming back.

why are you drinking water twice?

any limit on water?

you can drink it at one time.

that makes my stomach
full of water.

oh my..

you had an apple a moment ago!

I'll chop this one for you.

why didn't you chop it
while you're having yours a moment back?

just came up this idea.

you're getting on my nerves.
I can't concentrate on study.

what happened to you?

can that book replace your love?

you think that book can help you
to forget the love?

what else can I do, then?

you gotta see a new guy.
going out with a new guy..

can help you to get over old love.

you sound like an old woman
who's just about to die.

who told you that?

nobody did.

it's my intuition.

intuition?

where did you hear about that?

it's written in the textbook.

you can be a comedian.
that just fits you.

hello,

it's a guy.

meet him!

okay, let's meet.

I'll choose clothes for you.

okay.

why is she like that?

what are you doing?

I'm studying, you know.

what am I gonna do, then?

it's up to you.

I wanna spend time with you.

I don't want to.
you're boring.

why are you with me now, then?

you called me up, didn't you?

you didn't have to see me, did you?

my sister wanted me to see you.

she said, 'you need a guy'.

so I came to see you,
'cause you're a 'guy'.
but you're still boring.

so I'm studying and seeing a guy
at the same time.

what are you studying now?

nursing.

I don't think you can do it
with your brain.

what do you know about my brain?

you're great.

you have a good spirit of challenging.
that's good.

what kind of shit is that?

what is the word, 'spirit'?
that even sounds embarrassing.

this is just a book.
see? just a book!

I wanted to see you just for fun.
but you're very instructive.

are you a public-servant?
you're always using difficult words,

while you look just like a gangster.

if I pay you every time you see me,
will you see me often?

you want me to kick your butt?

why?
you like money, don't you?

he must be a fool..

don't laugh alone,
let's laugh together.

what a funny jerk you are!

don't crash the door!
use the door bell!

you think you're a flutiest or something?

where's damn Boksu?

why is Boksu damned?

don't say 'damn' to him.

he went abroad.

you're a dreamer.
went abroad?

you tell Boksu..

that I'll be looking for Junior
from tomorrow.

that has nothing to do with Boksu,
why are you messing around here?

Boksu has done something wrong?

yeah, he got on my nerves.

he did?
alright, I can do that, too.

it's summer now.

use this light gloves.

Boksu's hanging around with stunt men,

but I can't let him do that.

do you know who I am?

I'd rather kill myself
than watching him live peacefully.

then, kill yourself.
Boksu will live peacefully.

Boksu's father,

someday you're gonna
beg me on your knees..

make me to do that
if you can.

go away!

now!

damn..

Kyung,

you got scared, right?

Boksu's done nothing wrong.

that guy is ridiculous.

by the way..

what is the 'stunt man'?

- have a nice day, dad.
- what the hell you're doing?

I'll be your daughter, too.

you don't have to be my daughter.

just do what you gotta do as a son.

what's the matter with you?

I told you,
don't care about Junior!

don't get involved in his business!

keep that in mind, okay?

once you get in trouble again,

I'll put you in the orphanage!

what a nonsense he just said!

the orphanage is not that crazy
to accept me..

he's very funny.

( what is the stunt man? )

Kyung,

anybody came here
last night?

is he busy?

oops!

oh my..

oh..

let me keep your watch.

oh..

we're just 1,000 won short,
how can you ask us to do that?

we'll definitely
pay it back tomorrow.

look, you guys just had
chickens of 18,000 won worth.

how can you ask me to give you
1,000 won discount?

oh..it's because
we're out of cash now..

we'll definitely
pay it back tomorrow, okay?

I don't trust you.

hey guys, you can go.
I'll pay it for you.

it's none of your business!

hey, you can go.
this woman is..now..

uh..

in very unstable condition..
it's very complicated to explain..

so..hope you understand that..

what are you saying?
this guys didn't pay the price!

stop it!

normally, she's not like this..

but she's in
very tough situation now..

- so..we'll serve you better next time..
please come often, okay?
- okay.

if you want to get discount,
don't ever come again!

oh..you're so annoying!

you don't wanna run this business
any more?

people will laugh about you!

I used to be too loose
on my business.

I gotta keep myself tighter
and save money!

only good service
can attract people.

can't you see that?
with your smart brain?

after you got swindled,
you've just become a fool.

I don't care whether I'm a fool or not.
but I can't spare even a penny!

I gotta keep myself tight!

I can't relax!

mom, this is not a big money,
but..

it's totally different
from the money in the old days.

so use it very carefully, okay?

you know what I'm saying?

don't say like that..

it's different, really..

from last time.

tell me about it,
that's..better money.

but I like the last one.

you changed your job?

what did you do
in the old days?

don't try to figure it out.

you're stupid..

money is the best thing!

don't try to find an 'interesting' job..

you can easily find an 'interesting' job
after you made a big money.

Sung-ho,
forget what she's just said, okay?

see you!

good-bye.

oh, you quit a big money job?

this is just a pocket money!

I spilt some beverage on this..

I guess that's why it isn't working properly..

- please fix it as soon as possible.
- okay, trust us.

- thank you.
- thank you.

is he so busy?

hello?

I gotta go to Yang-su-ri.

it's an overnight filming again.

I wrote a new song,
you hear it first and tell me
whether it's good or not..

if it sounds cool to you,
I'll put it on our record,

but if not,

what..will I do with it?

what will you do?
you can just ignore my opinion
and put it on your record.

good bye.

I'll buy you a souvenir,
bye!

are they selling souvenir
in Yang-su-ri?

Junior must be
hanging around this station..

I will catch you
even if you're on the railroad!

Boksu..

so, you changed your job
to a pick-pocket?

let me tell you
about miranda rule.

damn I forgot already.
