HALLELUJAH FOREVER

Oh Shit.

Hello? Won-bong?

It's Hoon-chul. Shit.

Lend me some money.

Right now, man!

Or I'm gonna be a cripple today!

Sell your house and help me!

Hello? Won-bong! Hey!

He'll be here soon!

Shit, he can't kill me forjust $3,000.

It's now $30,000!

How can the interest be 10 times in 3 months!

He said he'll injure you and take the insurance claim.

That's why they lent it to us when we got nothing.

Why'd you sign the insurance!

I had no other choice!

I wish I could sell even you right now!

Hey! Hey!

Do something! You used it, too!

But only I become a cripple?

You can't. Then, I'll have to support you.

Stop it!

Get up.

- What are you doing? - Hold still.

At a time like this? Aren't you scared?

It's cuz I'm terrified!

Shit.

who the hell?

Son of a bitch.

Ah... yes...

- What are you doing! - Stay outside.

What are you trying to pull?

Stay out if you don't wanna be a cripple.

Myung-ja!

No, Myung-ja! Don't do this!

Myung-ja! Please no! Oh shit.

Do whatever you want and give us another week.

If he becomes a cripple, we're dead.

You son of a bitch!

Please don't!

Please don't!

Please don't!

Damn piece of shit!

You'll pay for this!

Irresponsibly borrowing and not paying up.

Folks like you are shit!

Shit!

The hell!

The hell are you doing?

who the hell are you?

Crazy bitch! Get out!

What the fuck!

Got a grudge on me?

Stab me.

Go ahead!

Kang-do!

Lee Kang-do.

I'm sorry I abandoned you.

The hell did you just say?

Forgive me for coming so late.

The fuck are you saying!

Forgive me.

The fuck is this! Crazy bitch!

Kang-do...

Fuck! Don't say my name!

Kang-do.

Bitch! Don't say my name! I got no one!

Please forgive me.

Crazy bitch!

Just leave it. I'll do it later.

It's okay. I'll do it.

Go home and rest.

Mom? Look at me.

Turn your head.

It's pretty.

It's warm.

Here.

That's all I got.

How can the interest be 10 times more?

Don't look, Mom!

Go in! Don't look!

No, Tae-seung...

weight?

65kilos.

Grab it.

I said, grab it!

If I become a cripple...

there's no one to take care of my poor mom.

Don't you have a mom?

It's not high enough.

I can't be a cripple and burden Mom!

If you die, the insurance gets messed up. Justjump.

Evil bastard.

who's that woman?

Please! Give me more time!

Just one more week!

Please!

Get lost before I throw you over!

It's all my fault. Cuz I abandoned you...

Cut the shit! You bitch!

Or I'll kill you!

I don't mind dying by your hands.

Crazy bitch.

My leg!

Shit!

Oh, my leg!

One joint completely gone.

The claim will be just what you owe us.

Son of a bitch!

You'll burn to death!

You'll scream in agony and burn in hell forever!

How dare you say that to my son!

Stop following me! Go away!

What will you eat today?

Pork? Eel? Duck?

I'll buy.

I'll do it myself!

DEAR MOM

Hi, Jong-bok.

Long time no see.

Why'd you call?

Me? I'm not busy.

It'll be torn down here soon. So, there's no business.

All I got left are debts.

Drinks? Tomorrow?

Sure. Sounds good. Where?

Okay, then. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Mister.

Mister!

JUGYO-DONG 151 YOON Ml-HYUN

Bastard.

Think that's the end?

Dying?

Irresponsible fool.

Isn't that Kang-chul?

It's Kang-chul, right?

Are you his friend?

Got any bank accounts, rings, or necklaces?

No.

JANG Ml-SUN

You're really my mom who abandoned me?

Really?

want me to call you mom?

Answer me.

You bitch!

Bullshit! I lived 30 years without a mom!

If I ever see you again...

I'll rip you to shreds!

Shaking me up...

What?

What!

Hello?

Shit!

You're the one who left me as I was born?

When mommy goes to the island

to pick oysters

the baby is left alone

to watch the house

Ebb and flow of tidal waves

sounds like a lullaby

With his elbow as a pillow

the baby falls asleep

Prove to me you're my mom.

I'm sorry.

Give me proof!

I have a big birth mark. Where is it?

If you're my mom, you'd know!

I was too young.

I got scared and ran as soon as I had you.

You lie!

who are you?

Why show up all of a sudden?

Kang-do.

What do you want from me?

If you're my mom, eat this.

My poor Kang-do.

I came out of here?

Here for sure?

Really?

Then, can I go back in?

I'm going back in!

Kang-do.

If you're not my mom, I'll stop.

You're not my mom, are you!

Hold still! I'm going in!

wash up. I'm making breakfast.

Try it.

Hi, Honey.

How's the baby?

Then, I'll be a daddy next month?

Got the ultrasound? who does he look like?

No, he can't resemble me or he'll end up like me.

Look closely.

Okay, then. I love you, too.

I have a customer.

I'll call you later.

Can I borrow more money?

$30,000 more.

I'll gladly be a cripple.

Why'd you borrow it?

Cuz we're having a baby.

He'll be born next month. I wanna give him everything.

I feel bad.

If he's born cuz of me, I should take responsibility.

I'd do anything for the baby.

I made money off this.

But, now I'll make the sacrifice.

I'm ready.

I envy him.

For what?

How you think of him.

Don't all parents feel the same?

Your parents would've done the same.

How much insurance money can I get for one hand?

$30,000. That'll cover your debt to us.

Then, $60,000 for both?

Then, cut this one, too.

Get $60,000 and give me $30,000.

I wanna play it one last time.

If I continued with music, I would've ended up worse.

I don't need it. Take it.

Aren't you doing it?

What are you doing?

I gotta be a cripple.

I have to provide for my son. So, hurry up!

Make me a cripple!

INSURANCE CLAIM

Play it for the baby.

What'd you do before you met me?

Got any family?

No husband or kids?

Do I have any siblings?

Why're you crying?

I'm not.

Today's the lastjob.

Anything you need or wanna do?

Anyone you want to kill?

What do you want?

This?

I lasted 50 years here.

But ended up with nothing.

The owners get new buildings coming in.

What about tenants like us?

What is money?

I had no intention of paying back from the start.

I got it to spend like crazy, then die.

Ever looked down on Cheonggyecheon from the sky?

This place is going to be gone.

I came when I was 16, 50 years ago.

Soon, this place will be...

filled with high-rises, too.

Death complicates the claim!

Death?

What is death?

Don't feel guilty cuz of me.

HAPPYPRIVATE LOANS

LEE SANG- GU $30,000

It made me feel sorry to you.

What did you do to the man today?

Jumped off a building by himself.

He must be dead.

What is money?

Money?

The beginning and the end of all things.

Love, honor, violence, fury...

hatred, jealousy...

revenge...

death.

Revenge?

Yes, revenge.

If anyone comes here, don't open the door.

Call me right away!

I will.

Do you wanna go out?

Tasty?

Try this on.

So cute.

Me! Give it to me!

Say, one more please. Ask for one more.

Sir, please.

Sir, please help me.

What is he, a retard?

Look.

What's so funny?

It's funny. Grown adults acting like kids.

A mom having fun with her son she met in 30 years.

- That's funny? - Ma'am!

Crazy bitch!

What?

Let's go!

I'm sorry. Apologize!

I'm sorry.

Get back!

Devilish bastard!

I never once forgot you!

See?

I can't do a thing as a cripple! I'm a bum!

Now, it's your turn to die!

Get down!

Kneel!

Mom didn't do anything!

Mom, my ass!

You insulted me in front of my mom forjust $3,000!

watch closely.

I told you you'd burn to death!

Pour it on! Now!

Forgive him. It's my fault.

I abandoned him. He grew up without love.

Bullshit!

The bastard was born evil.

He's the devil who tests people with money!

Pour it on! Now!

Son of a bitch.

Kang-do! No!

- No! - Don't move!

I'll light it for ya!

Kang-do!

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

He probably didn't die.

Or report it to the cops.

I'm scared.

That you'll suddenly vanish.

I can't survive being alone again.

Today's your birthday.

Go buy a cake. Let's celebrate.

So, this was my birthday present?

It looks a little small for me.

Why?

It's not done yet?

Boss, it's Lee Kang-do.

Why you!

You son of a bitch!

I'm sorry, boss!

I'm sorry, boss!

You ungrateful bastard.

Get lost!

Someone else is doing it.

Boss!

Please give my mom back!

You have a mother?

That's why you quit? Scared of revenge?

It's not me.

It's probably one of the cripples you made.

I told you to collect money, not make 'em cripples!

You butcher!

Where were you? Know how much I worried!

Why didn't you take your phone!

I'm sorry.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

I have a favor.

Plant me a tree.

Where's the sweater? I wanna wear it today.

Can a pine tree live by the water?

It'll live.

Thanks.

when I die, bury me here.

What?

Don't say stuff like that!

Everyone dies.

But still... It's not for a long time.

Go to your bed!

Get out!

Did I do something wrong?

Go water the tree. It'll wither to death.

Okay.

Hello?

Kang-do! Someone's here!

- Mom? - Why're you doing this!

Mom!

Stop it!

No! Please! No!

Help me! Help me!

Who the fuck are you!

Why are you doing this!

Mom?

It's my fault! Not my son's! Please!

Mom!

Mom!

Yes, Han's Machinery.

Yes, of course we can do it.

20 ¢? That's impossible.

The price of copper went up.

Then, I'll do it for 30 ¢. That's it.

Hello? Hello?

Son of a bitch!

Take the skin off my back why don't ya!

Damn bastard!

Damn sons of bitches!

Greedy bastards!

Sons of bitches!

Damn bastards!

I'll kill you! Bastard!

I'll rip you to shreds! You bastard!

Looking for Jong-do?

He quit and went to Yang-pyung.

Where's your son?

Where's Lee Jong-do!

Jong-do.

Your friend's here.

How nice there's a friend who still remembers you.

You must be so happy.

Don't you ever die cuz of money.

Damn money!

How can you leave me behind over losing an arm?

After everything I did to raise you.

Damn bastard!

That bastard...

Where's your dad! Tell me!

What'd you do yesterday?

Thought of you, fool.

So?

Never once forgot you doing this to me for $10,000.

So, what did you do!

Getting revenge!

Tell the truth!

Stabbing you! Burning you!

Sinking you! Ripping you to shreds!

That's not enough!

If you had parents, I'd take 'em as you watch and...

But it's no use.

A cripple like me.

All I can do is hope you rot in hell.

Just you wait.

I remind my kid what you did every single day!

When mommy goes to the island

to pick oysters

the baby is left alone

to watch the house

Ebb and flow of tidal waves

sounds like a lullaby

With his elbow as a pillow

the baby falls asleep

Thank you.

I led a foolish life.

So, I cannot see as much as others.

That is enough.

It's $3 for a bag. What would you like?

Rice puffs again?

You bitch!

What bastard did you go and fuck!

Shut up if you don't wanna starve.

We're living like this cuz you borrowed that money.

What? I didn't do it just for me.

Bitch! It's all your fault!

Get lost, you bitch!

If you doubt me so much, you go and make money!

You bitch!

Shit!

Where's my mom?

The hell! You had a mom?

Then, why the act!

Cuz I'm scared.

I can't even move! See!

Wait!

Beer money?

Don't need it!

The devil's money!

If there was no law, I'd kill you a hundred times!

You piece of shit!

Wish I can grind you with my car!

I got $40! Shit.

Retard!

$5,000 BECAME $50,000. I'LL BECOME A CRIPPLE TODAY

WHAT IS MONEY? LIFE? DEATH? I'M SORRY MOM

Why'd you do it?

Why were you so cruel?

I cannot forgive you.

You're a devil who tests people with money.

Now, you feel the heartache as them.

Watch your family die before your very eyes!

No use crying now.

Pathetic fool.

Devilish bastard!

What is it?

The hell!

The fuck!

Mom?

Mom!

You bitch!

Mom!

Mom!

Get lost, bitch!

Mom!

Sang-gu?

You waited long, right?

The fool's soul will die now.

When I die before his eyes...

he'll be in dire pain over losing his family.

He'll go crazy.

But...

Why am I so sad?

Sang-gu! I'm sorry.

I didn't intend to feel this.

But I feel sorry for him.

Poor Kang-do!

Mom! where are you?

Mom!

Mom!

Kang-do!

Don't come up!

Please don't kill me!

No! You son of a bitch!

Let Mom go! What do you want!

Mom didn't do anything!

Kill me instead!

Kang-do! I'm scared!

Forgive me! Please! Don't kill me!

Kang-do! I'm scared!

No! Mom! No!

I was wrong!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'll die instead!

Let Mom go! Please!

I'll die! Mom is innocent!

Kill me! I'm sorry!

Kill me, please!

Let Mom go! Please!

I'm so sorry! Please don't kill Mom!

Please forgive me. She didn't do anything.

It's my fault.

Forgive me. And please let my...

Please let my mom go. Kill me.

Please let her go.

Please don't harm her. I'm sorry.

I am to blame.

Please don't kill her.

Sang-gu?

You're not alone anymore.

Mom!
