One, two, one, two... Testing...

Hello, there!

Good day, folks!

I was

a Silver medalist at the

1990 Beijing Asian Games.

I am your favorite boxer

from the past, GANG Tae-shik.

I am here today

to blow away all of your stress

with just one punch.

Owners with businesses gone bad,

Ladies who have been ripped off,

Brothers and sisters who have been dumped by their lovers.

All of you who are angry at something or someone,

come to GANG Tae-shik.

I will be your human sandbag!

Hey, stop!

Freeze, asshole!

Get down here!

Hey!

He's down. Go get him.

Stop, right there!

Crying Fist

Hello

OK.

I'll be right there.

Why the hell are they always fighting...

Drop dead, you idiots.

You little pieces of shit!

What the hell is wrong with you.

Why are you yelling at the victims!

You should be investigating those idiots, not these ones.

Will you sit down? You thug! Hit me too! Hit me too!

- Will you just sit down! - You thug!

Hit me too! Hit me too!

Look! He's about to hit me!

Why don't I just kill both of us while I'm at it!!

Calm down!

Come here.

Come here, you asshole!

Just who is he to hit people!

You washed your hair?

Is something going on at home?

What's with all the groceries.

My son is coming home today.

Come by later to pick up those boxes.

I already ate.

You need to eat more for your strength.

Where's Sang-hwan?

He's not eating.

- Sang-hwan! Come out! - Leave him alone.

- Hey, Sang-hwan. - Stop bothering him!

We should eat together.

We are not a big family. His dad is here.

- Hey! Sang-hwan! - Just eat!

I just ate...

Eat anyways.

At your age, you could even chew on stones.

Where are you?

Wait at your place.

I'm hanging up!

Hang up!

It's for indigestion.

I wouldn't dare tell you to live like me.

But

you should think of

your grandma...

Here.

Have one.

Cover your hand when you are in front of elders.

The other parents agreed to settle.

And there's my savings...

Thinking of that work I did at that site,

I can get paid for the days I worked.

Great.

You pay it off then.

Settle? Are you nuts?

I have to pay for your fights.

Do you take me for a sucker?

No, they started it. I swear.

Next time you fight, don't call me.

Cash?

Almost no one carries cash anymore.

Everyone uses credit cards now.

Let me see.

Yeah! Old Man, Kim!

He lends money to everyone

and collects daily interest.

He probably collects a few million won on each round.

Good day, sir... fuck.

What is this? Who send you?

No...

Let me go! Help!

Help me!

- Give me that bag! - No, not this.

Give me that!

Just give me the bag!

Come here!

Let go!

Come on!

Help!

Give me.

Mr. GANG Tae-shik

Mr. GANG Tae-shik!

Say something, would you?

I did absolutely nothing wrong.

Nothing!

Ok. Just be quiet!

You idiot!

Other people can not do their job because of you.

The factory site is not a permitted area...

What are you going to do?

I don't have money to take my kid to a doctor

- Mr. GANG Tae-shik! - Because of that bastard!

I said, sit still!

Hey!

Hey! I got hit!

You all saw that!

Hold still.

Why are you yelling so loud,

you stupid fuck? You think I wanted to do that?

You know how I feel?

Don't make me swear at you, you piece of shit!

What is with today!

Distressed paper

Take Seo-jin to your mother's for a while.

Why don't you ask me for a divorce?

Shit...

Do not mess with the little pride I have left.

Pride?

This is about your stupid pride?

Your pride didn't get you anywhere...

We should all die rather than live like this!

Just die!

I'm sick of you beating me up,

And I'm sick of

bowing to creditors

in front of Seo-jin.

Go on, die then.

Seo-jin!

Go to the drugstore and

buy all the rat poison they have!

Who still sells rat poison

these days?

Seo-jin! Go get some money and buy

all the roach repellent you can!

Hey

come here.

Come here.

I'll get back on my feet.

I'm not dead yet.

It's been ten years.

Just sit still.

What is with you...

What taking him

so long...

Hey OH Won-tae!

Tae-shik, my man!

It's been a long time.

- What the heck! - Why can't I get you on the phone?

This is the man

who made a fortune

- What? - On the land in Paju, you know?

Please excuse us for a minute.

- You crazy? - Calm down!

Let's go talk outside.

Come on.

I'll give you some land.

Hey!

You promised me

a down payment by the end of this month.

You blew that away just now.

You motherfucker!

Cut the crap and pay back my money

before I kill you.

Fuck that.

I'm broke.

You can sell my organs for all I care.

You fucking asshole!

You fucking asshole!

I've got no place

to sleep, you know?

I barely got this through a real estate agent...

You can stay here a few months.

Stop!

Turn left!

21 ready for training!

- Is that all? - Yes!

Listen very carefully to

what I am about to say.

One,

whatever a guard says is the law.

Two,

you are here to serve time

so you will work during that time.

Three,

punishment is

for your own good,

so no complaints. Got it?

Yes...

You do not get it yet?

You think this is a playground? Huh?

- Understood? - Yes, Sir!

Hanging in there?

What do you think?

Consider it practice for the army.

When I was in the military...

This is a prison you know...

I can't go to the army

because I got five years.

Just think of it as one less mouth to feed.

And don't come back. It's uncomfortable.

Let's go.

Patheti, They are trying to make a living.

You kidding me?

We got a lot of new inmates.

Eat that for now while I make more.

You're on a diet anyway.

You motherfucker!

Calm down.

Let go!

You're new, right?

You bastard!

Motherfucker!

You bastard!

Spit it out!

Hey stupid!

The wall is urethane rubber.

It doesn't hurt a bit. Come here.

Not that way! This way!

Stick your head out.

Does it hurt?

It's no good playing rough here.

I am in charge of boxing team.

Do you want to try out for the boxing team?

Pride doesn't put food on the table...

You've got to eat first...

Loser.

The Asian Games silver medalist will be your human sandbag.

Men-1 min, women-2 mins,

What are you doing in front of my restaurant?

Sorry, buddy. I'm just trying to make a living.

How are you going to do that?

If you were doing so well before,

what happened to you now?

Well.

You seem like a man of the streets

but you don't know shit.

Hey.

We did everything we were told to

even if it meant

having to die!

Who does that anymore these days?

There are no boxing gyms.

All they've got now are boxing aerobics classes

or some shit like that.

Boxing aerobics, my ass.

Remember the game

in Panama that boxer Soo-whan fought?

The whole country went wild.

And what about the 88 Olympics

when Kwang-sun won the gold medal?

Gwang-sun's gold medal did more

for the country than the past presidents!

The people in this country

shouldn't treat us like this.

Leave your bag here.

You'll be back tomorrow.

Good night.

When the stormy ocean waves...

Hey, there!

Can I really hit you?

For ten thousand won.

Stretch your arms out.

What's your... name and where are you from?

Hyo-ri from Sangmoon-dong.

Hello Ms. Hyo-ri from Sangmoon-dong.

What's bothering you...

Oh, Please don't cry...

Well, something seems to be

bothering you, Ms. Hyo-ri.

I will be known

as the bastard

that made her cry...

And take all her punches...

Wow! She's got a strong punch!

Please give her a big round of applause!

Is there anyone else?

Anyone

who's as mad as hell...

Gloves make a fight right. Only those who work hard can earn victory.

I may be the next champion.

Get up!

Get up! You fools!

Get up, shithead,

or I'll kick you!

Wait there.

Go over there.

He's the one.

His looks could kill.

He has the mental toughness too.

He's a troublemaker

but he looks to be a fast learner.

OK.

Sir.

Hey! Guard!

Sir!

He's on the team from today, so train him.

Yes, sir.

Butthead,

take this.

What you staring at?

You must start off by memorizing all the rules.

Stand up straight, hold it up

and read it out loud.

Come here.

Got that?

Why aren't you memorizing it?

- Are you fucking with me? - What?

I can't read, fuckface.

Shit!

Go fuck yourselves, all of you!

- Why, that fucker! - You son-of-a-bitch!

Rock! Kill the bastard! In one punch!

Shut up!

Go do your workouts.

Come on!

You fucking bastard!

I don't believe this! What the fuck!

That motherfucker!

I don't believe this!

You fuck!

You think even dogs and cows can box with a temper and a fist?

You need to cool down,

if you want to get it right!

Your time's up.

A big hand, please.

- You have to pay up. - Yeah.

What a bastard.

Do you take credit cards?

I only have 9,000 won left.

Sorry, man. Good job.

When the stormy ocean waves

calm down...

When will you come to me.

Not a bad item.

They won't use me because

I'm old.

When are you paying me back?

Money is all that you talk about.

I will take care of it, alright?

You bastard.

- What are you staring at! - I invested 50 million won

with Park in Inchon.

But since so many people are after him

I have to lay low.

Hey, bro!

I'll crash here for a few days.

This isn't yours!

Come on, let me have a sip!

Please...

Hey you!

Come here!

- You, in the white top! Come here! - Me?

See here?

Your shoe laces are loose.

You will hurt your head if you fall playing like this.

- Got that? - Yeah.

Hey.

Can I have a sip?

Just one sip.

That's good.

- What's your name? - Yong-hwan.

- What? - Yong-hwan.

- Yong... - Yong-hwan!

Yong-hwan?

Where do you live?

What are you doing here?

I looked for you everywhere!

Come on. Hurry up.

I won't bite your kid.

Let me talk to him first...

Big bro!

What is up?

Pull yourself together.

Come on.

He's not feeling too well.

Let me talk to him for a bit.

Let's talk for a minute.

Do you know what that program is?

You'll have buses

lining up here.

You'll be raking in the money.

There is nothing to advertise.

Bro!

Think of your wife and kid, okay?

You do what you normally do

and I'll take care of the rest.

At this point, you'll be surprised.

He is someone who earns more

when beaten more.

His name is Kang Tae-shik.

Won-tae!

Pull this off for me!

Won-tae!

Oh Won-tae!

Hey! Won-tae!

Older brother, I have to

take care of something.

This is really good. We may even get your house back.

Don't fret over chump change and just hold on for now.

I've made some chicken soup

since you've been sweating a lot.

I don't feel all that great

about doing this...

Cheer up.

You should eat well.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Here.

Good luck.

And who's that?

A creditor, of course.

How'd he find you here?

I was on TV because of that fucking Won-tae, remember?

It's a scary world.

The soup will be salty.

Let me try. It looks fun.

Noodles won't get you far.

Hey!

Are you bullies?

Look, he's bleeding.

Shitheads.

Hey.

Yong- dae...

I...

I didn't run away.

I wouldn't

I wouldn't hide money from you.

You know me.

Hey!

Tae-shik, my buddy!

Kang Tae-shik!

You fucking piece of shit!

Don't you know I cut you some slack because you were my senior?

And you turn around and screw me?

You want to talk comfortably?

I paid you the original amount.

You sure are a medalist, Tae-shik!

And you boys hit this wonderful man.

Look for the medal,

you fuckers!

All right! The shining medal.

Let's see...

I never got a medal

so I wouldn't know...

but this is real silver.

But a gold medal isn't pure gold.

A gold medal is the real thing.

Yong- dae...

Give it back.

Give it back.

This?

Who said I was keeping it?

Come and get it.

Let's go.

This way, boss.

Hey, butthead!

Why is it taking so long to get water?

You said to clean the showers first...

You're talking back to me again.

Your dad's here.

I'm not going. Please tell him to go back.

I said your dad's here!

I'm not going.

Your dad's here to visit you.

Shit! I said I'm not going!

Whatever. Fuck.

If I don't see him, can I give him this.

- Yes, you can. - Thanks.

I got you this because I remember being in the army.

'Digestion Pills'

That's enough.

- You did good. - Attention! Salute!

Thank you, sir!

Sir!

One! Two! One two three four!

Darkness falls, night moves in,

I lie on the blanket, repenting.

My tears wet my pillow

A calm flows through my heart.

When darkness falls

I feel so lonely

Maybe I will hear birds,

and see miracles someday

Please free my poor body.

I pray for God's grace today.

I kneel before the heavens

and repent my sins...

Mr. Yoo! Mr. Yoo!

Sir!

Sir!

You get so carsick.

You shouldn't have come.

Nothing makes sense right now,

but don't lose control.

You have to think clearly in times like these.

It hasn't sunk in yet.

I'll know once I get out.

You know the national tryouts?

Don't I get a night off if I pass?

You can't expect

emotions to solve your problems.

Do you think you can beat Rock?

You're my kid,

but so is he.

Just put me in the ring with him. I'll do the winning or the losing.

Hey! Sang-hwan!

Spit it out!

Spit it out!

Knucklehead!

You can't control

your weight like that...

You, butthead!

You tried out?

You piece of shit.

I worked my ass off for years for that.

What the fuck did you do to deserve that?

What the fuck...

Well.

We should all get our family

to say our old man died!

You bastard.

What's wrong with trying out?

Leave me alone.

Just leave me alone.

OK, you motherfucker!

Pull out! Guard up! Pull out!

Local tryouts - First Day

Turn! Get out!

Hey, Kid! That's it!

Go!

Stop!

Good job!

Coach!

He won the match. What's wrong?

He doesn't listen to anything I tell him.

I told him not to take all the small punches.

He should go

Bam! Bam! Bam!

What the hell was that!

It's only his first match.

He goes up against Rock tomorrow.

Stop!

Next Day

- Grandma! - Wait...

Good.

Lower your head.

Have some.

Has he eaten?

Why didn't you say hi?

I can do that later, after I win.

Sang- whan.

I can't speak for everything,

but I will tell you one thing.

This is not your match.

This is the match to pay back all your bad acts to your family.
