Where did you get the money to drink all night?

He doesn't pay, he just begs for it!

Isn't there any soup for a hangover?

Mr. Pig is making a request? Pay for something, at least.

Shut your mouth and eat!

- I can't eat with my mouth shut. - Little prick!

I know he's not your son, but you don't have to treat him so bad.

Living with you has changed him.

Why? Do you regret living with me?

What did you say when you asked me to marry you?

I would get lovesick and die a lonely ghost if I didn't marry you.

That you would work till your bones broke to give me a good life.

You said you would treat Jun-il like your own son.

Have you kept a single promise you made?

Its too early for this, my dear.

My love for you is just as strong today as it was then!

It's only those two months! Two months.

After two months we will be able to live like superstars!

Geez, always two months two months! It's already been two years!

Ouch, my back!

Give me the money! Where are you hiding it!

Don't come near me! What are you grabbing at?

Oh my gosh! Do you know how hard it was to borrow that money?

How dare you swipe it!

You know how pathetic a man looks without money. Give me some, please!

Here take it.

Alright, hope you all have another great day today.

Goodbye.

Sell me your junk! I buy junk! Junk!

You are so talented.

He's a pastor, my butt. He's nothing more than a junk buyer.

Don't say that, before he came here

he used to be a big shot at a church.

Ah, can you stop wearing that unsightly widow's weeds?

Don't say such a thing.

I've got to mourn my husband's death for at least three years.

Oh boy.

Oh yeah! You decided to buy Grandpa Nam's grocery store?

Yes.

That's great.

Jun-il's mother is going to rake in all the money in this town.

Only the money?

She's going to try to buy all the markets in Seoul!

Ah, no I'm not.

Anyways, no one can deny your tenacity.

Uh, what's wrong?

- Hey! - What?

Where did you get this underwear?

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad now that you have some money?

This is my husbands undies!

I'm certain! It must have gotten mixed up last time.

Are you trying to frame me as a thief?

How do you know I took it?

Fighting over a worn out pair of undies... They're crazy!

Ah! Why that little...

Just fight!

You! Drink some water!

Uh! Take that!

What the... You want to go at it, skank?

Hey! Don't you dare put that bucket on me!

Oh my. Stop it you two! Oh no.

Hey! Hey! You want a taste of me!

The younger should back down!

Ah! Oh! Someone stop them!

Hey! Hey!

Stop it you two! Let go of me! Let go!

Someone back down! What are you two doing?

Back down! My goodness you are strong!

Ouch, my butt! Are you two enemies or something?

Wow all this fighting over undies?

Look at you two!

Fighting over nothing now that you both have some money!

Uh! Stop it! Stop it!

Arg! I'm so angry!

Hello.

- Oh, why hello. - hello.

Are you going somewhere?

Are you still drinking a lot?

Oh no, I quit a mighty long time ago.

I see. Ah. Used goods! Used goods!

I could do this with my eyes closed!

Oh! There go your bottles of Makgeolli! Boo-hoo!

You little prick! I just lost my pocket money because of you!

Ha! You call these drawings?

What's the good in putting all these drawings up!

Is this your dad's face? This?

You had another nightmare?

Come to bed already.

Hey! Hey!

Open your eyes when you drive! Hey!

What's wrong father? You are drunk!

Hey! Seriously!

Shut up if you don't know what's going on! Shut up!

Why are you hitting me? Why?

Why are you poking your nose in my business!

Oh you little...

Someone stop them! Stop them!

Watch it burn.

What a good looking pig.

Oh his nose looks like yours, Mrs. Kang.

Your store is going to do very well!

Please let our store do well...

Oh no! Run! Run! Go!

Oh no...

- I'm going to teach you a lesson! - What did I do? I didn't do it

- They did it! - Enough excuses, come along now!

You're a good dancer, Mrs. Kang.

Come here and have a drink, you must be tired.

Come here please.

May I say something please?

Our dear Mr. Mah just had his 60th birthday a few days ago.

Uh, it's a bit late, but how about the town

- throws him a birthday party? - Oh that's a great idea!

Thank you. Thank you.

It's great you can enjoy your birthday

after such awful events.

Making money is fine and dandy, but make sure you raise your kid right!

The small prick steals all the time!

You want to raise a robber?

This is a small neighborhood! Huh!

What is the point of having two stores!

Come along!

Dear! You can't just leave like that... Dear! Dear!

That little twit ruined the party.

What am I going to do with you! Huh! Jun-il!

Why won't you listen to me?

Do you want to see me die?

I much rather die than watch

you end up in jail as a thief. Uh!

Say something! Say something! What are you going to become?

Why do you steal?

When did you get out?

Two years ago.

- It's too late now. - I know!

That's Jun-il, right?

Where have you been, missy!

Didn't I pay your way through school? Did I ask you to bring home money?

Who in the world drops out of school because it's not interesting?

Oh my goodness,

what is going to become of that girl?

Oh my goodness.

- My bag... My bag! - Shut up!

I've been robbed! Robbed!

He took my bag!

Oh, you scared me.

Heh, heh, you are home early today.

Oh, I finished work early.

Wow that's great. Can we go watch a movie?

I get so bored when you're not home.

Kim Ju-seok!

Put your clothes on.

- Hey, what are you doing? - Ahem!

Ju-seok!

- Somebody help! - Be quiet! I'll be back soon.

Let's go.

Please tell me why you're taking in an innocent person?

Your hus...

Why are you interfering? Don't you know he's a pickpocket?

Ah, live a long life! Hurry and take it!

live a long life!

Bottoms up!

Your wife would have been so happy if she was still with us.

Grandpa Mah, hurry up and eat.

Uh, stop it! Eat this

stop touching the rest of them.

Kim Jun-il,

right?

Come on guys, move! Go away!

Why don't you guys scram?

Come on, come on have a drink. I'll pour you a drink!

- Mrs.! - Huh?

- More food for that table! - I was on my way!

Now! Here, have a drink. Here.

You are the taxi driver right? I've seen you driving around.

I'm Mr. Kang, I own the small store next to the gates.

Hi! Have a good time.

Have we met before? No.

I thought you were someone else. Drink up!

Wow that widow really is talented.

Come on! Let's dance too!

- Here comes spring! Spring! - Here comes spring! Spring!

- A thorn ivy growing in a home! - A thorn ivy growing in a home!

- News of spring in the afterlife. - News of spring in the afterlife.

- Here comes spring! Spring! - Here comes spring! Spring!

- There's a party in the slums! - There's a party in the slums!

- Good times! News of spring! - Good times! News of spring!

- Flower of a young lover! - Flower of a young lover!

- Spotty flower! - Spotty flower!

- Kill the flowers for being dainty! - Kill the flowers for being dainty!

- Give me this those, all the nuts, - Give me this those, all the nuts, Peanuts...

Why is it raining all of a sudden?

Come inside.

- Um... - My husband is coming.

- Um... - What's up with this rain?

It totally drowned the party.

Oh hi, taxi driver. Did you come to buy something?

This is my wife.

Young man, wait until the rain passes. Let's go inside and have a drink.

Yeah? I'm okay.

Come on. I'll buy so don't worry.

Dear!

He just moved here. Let's use this chance to make him a regular!

Come now! Let's go inside. Come on, in we go.

Dear, bring us something to eat and drink!

- Dear! Bring another bottle! - You've had enough.

Why are you babbling? Hurry up!

Young man, are you single?

- Yes. - Oh, you haven't married yet.

Yeah. What the...

Isn't my wife pretty? She's too pretty to be wasted away in such a slum.

- Stay still. - Seriously, stop it!

Leaving already? There's still some alcohol left.

I've had enough.

Ah, come over often. Okay?

Myeong-suk, do we know him from somewhere?

Doesn't he look familiar?

- Hey... Myeong-suk. - Stop it.

I told you not to come.

Don't worry it's going to be okay.

Ju-seok!

Hold on please.

What brings you here?

I'm out grocery shopping. I'm going to get some fish.

Aww, our little Jun-il is sleeping. I'll get the fish.

Why did you get so much stuff?

People are coming over tomorrow. I've got to prepare for the party.

We should just have a small party and not invite others.

But its our first child's first birthday. How can we not have a party?

It's because it costs a lot. Aw, is it already our Jun-il's first birthday?

Aren't you going to work?

Go ahead, I'll be home early.

Oh yeah, can you buy Jun-il's clothes and some toys please.

Yes.

Bye. Bye.

Come home early. Okay.

Ah, why is it so packed? Ah...

Sujeongdong stop. Get off here for Sujeongdong.

I've been robbed!

What? Close the doors! Hurry and close it!

Oh goodness, what am I going to do. I'm so upset.

I hope you find the thief soon.

Tomorrow is my son's birthday. Please let me go.

Say the right thing, I'll let you go.

Please believe me. I'm not the Ju-seok you used to know.

Then why were you trying to rush off the bus? Ah...

How much do you get paid per month?

About seventy thousand won.

How does a guy that earns only seventy thousand won a month

carry around twenty thousand won?

I said my wife came by and gave it to me.

Is she crazy? What wife comes all the way to your work and gives you money?

I know how you feel.

It's hard to go home empty handed on your sons birthday,

it's such a unfortunate situation.

That's why you are saying I stole?

Now you are speaking the truth.

The victim made a statement saying she saw you in the bus.

I can convict you with her statement alone.

Look at this little prick! Who do you think you're glaring at?

How long are you staying in town?

Why? Do I scare you?

My husband will eventually find out.

You've changed a lot, Myeong-suk.

Six years isn't a short period of time.

I wanted to hear your accent.

I haven't been able to sleep soundly for the past six years.

I can understand you leaving me to some extent, but

- Jun-il... - I didn't abandon you!

You left me!

You can say that,

but I want Jun-il back.

Don't come around acting like a parent, all of a sudden!

I'm off.

Oh boy.

Mister, do you have a power cord?

No.

Hey Mr. Kang, be good to your wife.

I'm finally used to life here. I don't expect anything else now

I accept it as my fate. Let me just live like this.

I'm an idiot that has no right to tell you what to do. Just give Jun-il back!

Never!

Who is he? He's Jun-il's father isn't he? Come along!

- Dear! - Arg!

Stupid woman humiliating me.

How long have you been seeing him?

Hey! You're going to kill me...! I'm going to...!

As long as I, Kang Tae-seop am alive, I'm never going to let you go.

You know how much I love you, right?

All of you who are tired of chasing money! Do you think money will save you?

Remember the passage that states, 'the lazy shall not eat.'

Don't ask for more than you worked for

How long will you lie there, you sluggard?

When will you get up from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,

a little folding of the hands to rest and poverty will come to you

like a thief and scarcity like an armed man. Amen.

Amen.

Okay, the lord will be with you today as always. Let's go to work.

- Let's go. - See you later.

Yes.

Hurry up. Let's go.

Mister.

- Yes? - I'm done.

Oh yeah, then we must wipe.

Hey you, junk seller!

You! You poor prick! Don't judge people like that.

Both of us are losers, is it too much to ask that we shack up together?

Who are you to treat me like nothing more than dirt? Show off!

Ha! Don't fool yourself! Do you think I like you because you are so amazing?

Shouldn't a pathetic man like you and I live together?

No matter how long you wait it'll always be too late for you to find a proper girl.

I'm going to harass you till my head cracks open. You got it?

I don't harass others,

but I also don't let other people harass me.

No need to turn this into a long discussion. Leave this neighborhood!

Where shall I take you sir?

This is not a personal car.

I take it that you understand me. Let's never run into each other again.

Anyone home?

Who is it?

We're here from the police station.

Go check it out.

We have to go down to the station.

Um... why? What happened?

Jun-il got caught stealing and is at the station.

Ah! I knew that twit would get into real trouble.

He is such a pest.

You need to come, too. Isn't he your child as well?

Oh, no, no, he's my wife's kid. Yeah!

Oh hello there young man.

- Where are you going? - The police station.

My kid got caught stealing and so he's at the station.

Oh boy!

The store owner's kid was taken as well.

By chance are you Jun-il's father?

Oh, I should watch my mouth.

Come along! Hurry up!

Go ahead and go home.

Stop showing up in front of the kid.

Jun-il thinks you're dead.

It's better to have a brave father than a thief. No?

Isn't he old enough to go to school?

He's been expelled twice.

I'm going to send him back to school next year.

How did you let him get like that?

Don't you dare say that! You don't know what it's like to raise a kid!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Raise your hands!

Why didn't you tell me your mother passed away?

She died early because of jerks like me!

It's all my fault!

Thank you for waiting.

Jun-il

Hello Jun-il.

Jun-il. Jun-il. Vroom vroom.

Jun-il. Jun-il. Vroom vroom.

Promise me you won't do anything bad no matter how bad things get.

- I won't disappoint you. - Swear it.

I swear on Jun-il's name.

Okay, even Jun-il heard you swear it.

You can brake a promise to me, but if you brake it with Jun-il.

You're not worthy of being a father.

Don't worry.

Don't get up.

How did it go? I'm sorry.

I'll find something tomorrow.

Don't worry too much, it will work out.

How are you feeling?

I'm at home, all comfy. What is there to worry about?

Ju-seok please stay strong.

Okay.

- Did you have dinner? - Yes, you?

- I'm not hungry. - Don't lie!

I said I'm okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey! Are you trying to freeze to death?

There is no more firewood left.

Ju-seok.

My purse! Come here! Get him!

No Jun-il. Ouch!

We've taken Kim Ju-seok's current circumstances into consideration.

However, due to previous convictions

there isn't much reason for compassion.

So I sentence Kim Ju-seok to 4 years in prison.

Go ahead.

Why did you bother visiting again?

How are you?

I'm fine. You didn't bring Jun-il.

Good idea. I didn't want him to continue to see me like this.

You still wearing gloves?

Why?

It's nothing.

What do you mean it's nothing. Show me your hand.

Are you hurt?

Just slightly burned.

You don't need to come here this often.

I won't be able to come.

Why? Did something happen?

No.

Then why do you say you can't come?

I can't wait any longer.

I can't ask you to wait for me any longer either.

Do what's best for you.

I love you, but I'm tired.

Maybe we weren't meant to be.

I don't have anything to say. I don't have any right to say anything.

What about Jun-il?

What about Jun-il? Huh?

Be safe.

I'm already bitter that my husband passed away so young,

but now I have to be separated from my only child...

You sure are heading to the market early today.

I'm not going to the market. I'm going to visit my Eok-soe in jail.

Oh my awful life.

Because of you kids my Choi Eok-soe is in prison!

When do you think Eok-soe will be able come home?

I'm not sure, but it might be at least 2 years.

- Kim Jun-il! - Yes?

Jun-il, don't you want a ride in my car?

Who are you, mister?

Uh, um... I'm a friend of your mothers

from when you were a baby.

Where do you want to go? Huh?

Um, Africa, Seoul Children's Grand Park, Disneyland, Busan, Namdaemun Market!

Namdaemun Market? Why there?

His dad was a firefighter

and he died trying to put a fire out at Namdaemun Market.

Okay I'll take you there.

- Get in. - Don't get in.

He could be a kidnapper.

Who would want to kidnap kids like us, stupid.

He's a kidnapper!

Jun-il.

Jun-il.

Jun-il. It's dangerous, don't go.

Dad look, Jun-il just got kidnapped!

Did you really live in the same neighborhood as my mom?

Yes, of course.

Then you must know my father?

How did he look? Was he good looking?

Do I look like him?

Yes, very much.

- Don't you want to go to school? - No.

- Why not? - Just because.

You can't say just because.

What are you doing little boy?

Let go, let go of me.

- I said let go! - I won't!

- You won't? - I won't! Arg! Ah!

Stupid little prick!

Mister, where was the fire, five years ago?

What did you ask him?

Over there, that's where my father died.

Let's go now.

Where did you get these?

I didn't steal it so don't worry.

I asked you where you got them?

Someone bought it for me!

Hurry up and tell me the truth!

- Arg! Some man bought it for me! - Man. What man?

What are you planning to do?

I don't know. What would you like me to do?

- I already have a husband. - Stop saying husband, husband!

What am I?

It's all in the past.

It doesn't just all go away like that.

Are you happy now?

I'm scared something bad is going to happen when you are around.

- Please leave. - What about my kid?

You're still young. You can meet another girl

and have kids with her. Get a fresh new start.

Is that what you really want Myeong-suk?

Where's your mom?

She ran away saying she doesn't want to live with you, Mr. Pig!

Little twit! How dare you call your dad a pig!

What a lovely scene!

Go home!

I won't!

Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Come along!

Isn't it silly for two grown men to fight like this over a silly girl?

Let's go somewhere and have some shots.

I guess when I was young

I did my share of bad things and girls as well.

Ha ha ha... With your good looks .

I bet you played a few girls

Was 'black gloves' one of the girls you knocked up? Spill the beans.

You know, only an idiot or a dead man would let someone like my wife go.

I can't let her go. Okay?

It isn't like 'black gloves' is the only girl in this whole world.

Just forget about her.

You want me to set you up on a blind date?

Come on, when are you going to leave this town?

I never said I was leaving.

Ah come on... you have some fight in you. Yes, a man has to have that,

but you've got to know when to and when not to put up a fight.

Black gloves has long forgotten about you.

Oh and Jun-il? He's yours anyway if you wish to have him.

I'll give you that much. Okay?

Give? Don't go around barking stuff, mister.

Look at that dirty mouth. Is the birth father the only father?

What about the man that raised him?

You have no say when it comes to Jun-il.

Looks like you need a talk with my fist.

Don't push your luck!

Wow, look at this prick!

Watch what you say!

You want me to kill you? Huh?

As you like.

You listen to me! If you ever show your face again in front of Myeong-suk

I'll make you wish you were never born!

Stupid idiots! Morons!

These aren't even their own cups... breaking it

Shut up slut! Shut up!

Morons... men leave when they get bored...

You're not so grand either.

I really taught him a lesson. He won't be coming around here anymore.

Oh dear, your skin's gotten rough. You lack vitamin C,

so I got you some fruit.

Here, eat it. Now! Take it take it!

I've got to fix this temper of mine.

It's my insecurities, my insecurities, you know.

Let's dance...

One at a time now. Yes like that. You want that one?

Hey you little twit!

Where are you from? Where's your house?

Hey did you pick this one? How much is it?

Fifty five hundred.

Let's go.

Don't you have a wife, mister?

No.

Ah, you're not married yet.

Do you want to eat dinner at my place, Jun-il?

How can I eat food that a man made? It's going to taste so bad.

I can order something good.

- What do you want to eat? - Black bean noodles!

Okay, I'll order that.

Stay here.

Mom!

Mom,

this is you, and this is the taxi driver and who is this baby? Is it me?

My dad isn't dead?

I told you, your dad died putting out a fire...

That's a lie!

- The taxi driver is...! - Yeah! The taxi driver is your dad!

No you can't!

He's my dad right!

Right, right?

Where has he been?

- He was on a ship and was far... - It's all a lie!

- Yeah, I'll tell you. - No!

Don't lie to a grown kid.

No!

You're dad was in prison!

Twit! Your dad is a thief!

Jun-il!

Jun-il! Jun-il!

Who do you think you are? Who? Why?

Why?

Seriously why are you men all like this?

What right do you men have over my kid!

He's my son,

he'll be my kid till the end of time. He is our kid.

You sure do say my kid easily.

You've never once did anything to support him

and now you talk about your kid!

I can support him now.

While I was in prison and while I was looking for you,

I lived with a sliver of hope,

that you would wait for me just one more time.

That hope still exists.

Please give me one more chance.

Let's leave this place together! I swear on my life I'll do right by you!

I'll wait for you at sunrise next to the bridge.

Don't wait for me!

Then let me ask you for one last thing.

Give me Jun-il.

Jun-il now knows that you are a thief.

He won't go with you.

Dear! Dear!

Is that you Jun-il?

Ah, scum like me needs to die.

Just a few more days. A few more days.

Don't leave me!

All I have in this world is you Myeong-suk.

Wait a few more days and I'll treat you like a queen.

Don't leave me! Let's leave town. Huh?

He will leave town.

Have you seen Jun-il?

Jun-il? I haven't seen him this morning.

You haven't left yet?

Where is Jun-il?

He ran away because of you.

What about Myeong-suk?

She went out looking for the kid!

Shouldn't you be looking for the child as well?

Nothing to worry about!

It's not like this is the first time he ran away.

He's got to get some sense beaten into him.

Prick! If you lay a finger on him, I'll kill you.

Are you planning to start today?

Yes, pastor.

Oh, it's already a lot of work cooking and taking care of these kids.

It's going to be even harder trying to run a business.

There isn't anything I wont do.

We would all starve on the streets if it wasn't for you, Pastor.

And on top of that you've given me a chance to start my own business.

You, junk seller!

Where did you get this from?

You! You're not that grand either!

The only girl you managed to pick up came with a string of kids!

It must be so divine to get married to a single man, widower.

Even a single girl like me hasn't been able to get married.

Take good care of our dear mister won't you?

When is the wedding?

Look at yourself real hard! Is this the face of a 26 year woman?

You fight with people like you have nothing to live for,

you cuss like a sailor

and what right does that filthy mouth have to talk about love!

What is love?

You don't even deserve to love!

Why can't you love these kids!

If you really loved me,

you should fix that rotting heart of yours first!

Stop drinking! And act like a decent girl!

When you learn to love others

I will love you ten times more than I do now!

I'm selling this at a loss.

- Yeah. I'll give you the rest of it next week. - Okay.

I can finally leave this nasty place!

Why did you sell that great store all of a sudden?

A man can't live off such a small store! Right?

Wow you must be well off now.

When are you moving?

- Ten days! - In ten days!

In ten days!

- Oh hello. - Hi.

Are you going somewhere?

I have to look for my kid.

I'm trying to start a business, may I buy some stuff for it?

There isn't much left because we are trying to sell the place.

Do you have chili paste?

- Hold on please. - Thank you.

Dear, I've sold the store!

No?

Watch the store.

Dear! Dear!

The store is sold and we will get the money in a week.

Listen to me Myeong-suk we have to leave town today.

What are you talking about!

Let's leave tonight!

We can ask someone else to watch the store.

Are you crazy? What do you mean leave?

Our child has run away!

I'll find Jun-il.

How are you connected to that woman?

Connected? What are you talking about? Just do as I tell you.

No!

I'll be... I'll be back in a few days so make sure you pack everything.

- Is 24th district over there? - Yes.

What connection do you have to my husband?

Seven years ago,

my husband and I came to Seoul without any plans.

We settled down near Majang-dong.

Living in Seoul was so hard for us farmer folk.

But once he started making decent money he got greedy,

he wanted to make more money

so he started to recruit people

and he started a small gang. He was the leader of the pack.

However, there was already a gang in the neighborhood.

So those guys got in a fight with my husband

and he ended up dying.

The man that killed my husband is your husband.

Ah! Only after ten days the statue of limitations will expire.

Why did she have to show up now!

If we had known who his guardian was we would have sent him home sooner.

He kept insisting that he was an orphan

so we believed him.

Let's go.

He hurt his arm before coming here.

He's been looked after by the doctors here.

This child needs love and care from his parents.

Goodbye.

- How did you get hurt? - I fell.

- Does it hurt a lot? - I fractured my bone.

- Oh kiddo! - Mom!

Let's leave this place together! I swear on my life I'll do right by you!

Don't leave me. All I have is you, Myeong-suk.

The man that killed my husband is your husband.

He seems to have a fever.

He is sweating.

Family is the most important thing to a man.

It sure took me a long to realize that.

This prick! I'm going to kill you!

Dear, please stop!

Run away! Please!

Please stop. Let's talk this out.

Move! Don't stop me!

Don't try to stop me!

I'll kill anyone who tries to stop me!

They're finally fighting it out.

I knew this would happen.

Wow this looks bad. Someone call the cops.

Why are you doing this?

Please stop it! Stop it!

Hit me! Hit me instead!

Move! Get out of the way!

Run! Run!

Please don't act like this! Why are you doing this now?

Why don't you stop it!

How many more sins do you have to commit!

Mom!

Jun-il go with that man. Okay?

Don't stay here. Go with that man.

Listen to me. Do as I say. Go with your birth father.

Listen to me! Mom.

Hurry and take Jun-il! Hurry take him!

Jun-il hurry up and go with that prick now!

I want to stay with you mom!

Why are you just standing here. Hurry up and run!

If you get caught it's going to be the end of you!

What the...!

Are you a victim as well?

It's nothing at all. It's just a family quarrel.

It's nothing!

Did he hit him?

No, he has nothing to do with it.

He was just trying to stop the fight.

Then who was fighting?

Me.

- You beat these two men? - Yes.

Hurry up and bring the pull cart.

You knew everything? You knew who I was?

Why did you stay, if you knew?

Hurry up and get a pull cart. We have to leave before sunrise.

Why did you stay when you love him?

It's my fate!

Mom, are we taking my desk as well?

Jun-il, your father is not a thief.

He's a great man.

You know I lie to you all the time. I can't believe you believe me, stupid.

From Mr. Pig.

From Mr. Pig to Myeong-suk,

you're not destined to live with such a horrible guy as me. Be well.

Everything is going to be okay from now on.

Kim Ju-seok!

Go to hell!

Even after that thrashing, your mouth is still at it?

I have something to tell you!

I'm done talking to you.

- Go back to Myeong-suk! - You really need to watch what you say!

I said go back to Myeong-suk!

I have to go away.

Irresponsible prick! Take responsibility for your woman!

I may be acting irresponsible towards Myeong-suk,

but I can no longer dodge responsibility for my sins.

A long time ago when I was a thug, I killed a man.

In a few days the statue of limitations will kick in,

then what I did will no longer be a crime, but I've got to pay for my crime.

I can't live like this.

I'm going to confess.

Myeong-suk was my safe haven.

It doesn't mean I didn't love her.

She acts like a tough woman, but she is actually very weak.

Hurry up and go! She might have left the slums already.

Where you going to?

I'll drop you off.

Don't know when I'll see you again, but I'll be in your shoes when I return!

Take care!

Mom, don't cry anymore.

Oh kiddo!

Our neighbors pains are ours,

because Jesus has taken on our pains for us.

Believing in Jesus is taking on

the pain and sorrows of our neighbors.

You ask where God is!

Until when will you deny him and keep sighing and moaning?

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.

Jesus said blessed are you who are poor,

God lives even now and is knocking on your hearts.

Our only hope is to meet God and to believe him.

Jesus loves those children who live right here, in these slums.

Why would a healthy person knock on the doors of the hospital?

All of you that are hurting knock on the doors of the hospital!

What father will give a rock when the child asks for a rice cake?

Is the store lady moving?

Only the eldest, is my dead husband's kid. All the others have different fathers.

What is this?

Please, just take it. It's what we got for the store.

No, I can't. I've raised a kid by myself as well.

How can you raise four alone?

I'm sorry.

Mom, where are we going?

Are we going to meet my real dad?

No! Don't you ever talk about him again!

Mom that's my real dad, right?

- My dad's not a bad person, right? - I said don't mention him!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Dad!

Kiddo!
