ALWAYS BE SAFE

MUJIN MINE

It's not much, but come and have some.

Have plenty.

Yang-soon is

graduating next year.

She's healthy and kind.

That's all I can ask for.

So please, put your mind at ease.

At ease.

Joong-hyun...

Joong-hyun...

My baby...

Jeez...

It's raining cats and dogs.

Answer the damn phone.

Even if it's lunchtime,

this is a police station.

I'll take it, go for your lunch.

Leave it, I got it.

Mujin Police.

How is she so fast?

Is it gold?

Tell me.

You fool.

What?

It's gold.

Fool's gold.

Fool's gold?

It's called pyrites.

It looks like gold, so people get fooled.

That's why it's called fool's gold.

The sun is setting. Let's get down.

Go prepare dinner for Yang-soon.

Are you going to let her starve?

Are you busy?

I got a job for you.

Yeah, take a day off and come for a hunt.

It's gold.

Chief...

Hurry up!

Joong-hyun! No!

Gosh...

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

Did you eat?

Do I look like I did?

Where were you all night?

Slept here, of course.

Why don't you go kill yourself?

Let's go back to Seoul.

For good, this time.

What's the point of going up the mountain all the time?

You can't bring back the dead!

Our sunny weather was short-lived.

The rain will return tonight, so make sure to take an umbrella.

Let's listen to a song...

Here.

This is from Yang-soon's sports day last year.

Her teacher said you even attended the open class for parents.

She only has her ailing grandmother, that's why.

But she's not even your grandchild.

Dad.

I'm sorry for saying those things earlier.

It's my fault. I raised you wrong.

You're upset.

You and Dae-guk, the men in our family are open books.

Does he ever contact you?

No, not really.

He's pretty self-reliant...

Will you hunt today?

No.

Not today.

Today is...

that day?

Go easy on hiking.

Hunting isn't right for you.

It doesn't feel right.

At least his memory is intact.

Look at how he parked his car anywhere.

Stay for breakfast.

What's with the sudden kindness?

I have to go. I have to open my shop.

-I'm off. -One second.

Why?

Dad! Don't bring it out! I'm leaving!

It's wild boar testicles and gall bladder.

No way!

It's good for constipation.

Forget it!

Answer my call.

If you're going to go up the mountain, keep it short.

Bye, Dad.

Don't skip meals!

-You simpleton! -Give it!

You're so dead!

Go away!

Take that fake black belt off, you simpleton!

You're so stupid because your dad ate too much coal!

Yeah, I'm stupid!

But do you become stupid if you eat too much coal?

She really is stupid.

Come on! Grab her!

Boys!

Shame on you for bullying a girl!

-We'll get you back! -You watch it!

Yang-soon!

Are you going to school?

No, I'm not.

-It's Sunday. -That's right.

Is your grandmother home?

She went up the mountain to collect herbs.

Sweetie, come with me.

Give this to her.

What is it?

-Wild boar gall bladder and... -Testicles, right?

Right.

Are you going to the mountain?

Shotgun? Did you get it from the police station?

No, it's an air gun. I always carry that around.

Take it home and have her drink it.

Clear weather is expected in the afternoon,

but the wind will be stronger than usual.

Rain will return at night...

I heard the terrain is rough.

There's no cell signal, so bring a few walkies.

Okay!

Does that work well?

It can even detect coins buried deep in the ground.

Let's take it slowly. Why are you rushing? Are you busy?

Be early for once, you jerk.

Isn't that heavy?

It's as heavy as hell.

We'll only survey the premise, not enter a war zone.

Mr. Park, do you remember Young-su from Busan?

He saw something here while out hunting.

He was so engrossed in hunting that he stayed until after sunset.

And when he was heading down,

he saw something white and old devouring a young elk.

He stopped hunting after that.

It was the talk of the town.

I guess you've never heard of it.

If you're ready, let's move out.

-Sure, let's go. -Move out!

Is your brother not coming?

That prick...

What do you need?

I need a shotgun for a hike.

We're not lending any guns today.

There was a big landslide. You can't go up the mountain today.

A landslide?

MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE CLOSED

It's a female, quite old.

A bit like you.

Don't do that.

It's good enough. Let's have it with a drink.

-Did you bring some? -In my bag.

Looks great!

It's an unnecessary load. Leave it.

Are you kidding me?

We caught it, so we might as well get a taste.

-This part of the boar is a delicacy. -Hey.

Don't look at me like that, you bloody pig.

I won't eat it, asshole.

Let's go.

-What a pity. -Look.

Damn, I have to catch that one.

Who the hell did that?

Oh, it was you?

Okay, let's get going. There was no need for that.

We'll go. Let's go. Gosh.

I shouldn't have come.

Don't get so worked up from the start.

I left in the middle of a wedding to come here

because I heard we have good stuff.

Mr. Mang, I'll make one thing clear.

Don't expect much.

Don't trust my twin brother. He's a worthless gambler.

Think of it as a pleasant hike.

Sure.

This forest is quite dense.

So?

Never seen anything like it.

What?

What is it?

Fuck, we have so much gold here!

-We hit the jackpot! -Really?

It's more than a jackpot!

Yeah, it's a huge jackpot!

I wasn't sure about this, but damn!

I told you, I had a great dream!

This is what we all gathered for.

-I guess I should thank my brother. -El Dorado!

This is amazing!

Yes, Chairman.

It's Mang.

You'll have to redo your toilets with gold.

I'll pay off all my damn debts!

Hello?

Chairman?

You bastards!

Shame on you!

So you lied to me yesterday!

This is all gold, isn't it?

Tell me, is it gold or not?

Tell me!

Yes, it is.

I'm sorry.

You see? I told you.

But you have no right to this, so don't overreact.

Is this your land?

Someone else owns this land, you hear me?

It's not like you can have it

just because you found it first.

Then,

why did you lie to me?

Well, that wasn't me but...

Fine, I'm going to talk to the townspeople.

Damn it...

You mentioned the landowner.

Sure, there is one.

The ground you walk on, from there to there.

It's my dead son's land!

Whenever I walk by here,

I can hear Joong-hyun's moans.

You'll never take anything!

-Ma'am, one moment, please. -You cannot take anything.

Ma'am.

-Please listen to me! -Let go!

-Please calm down! -Let me go.

-Let me go. I'm done with you all! -No, wait.

-Don't touch me! -Listen to me.

It's just that we...

Gosh!

Oh no!

Ma'am!

Ma'am!

SUNHWA REAL ESTATE

MAY, 2000

Why would anyone buy this useless land?

Joong-hyun, calm down.

For what?

What? Fuck you!

You looked around the land and approved it yourself!

You swindled my wife into approving it!

You should've checked it yourself, then. Who buys land without checking it first?

I was digging in the mine.

-The townspeople-- -Don't you know that?

Go on, hit me!

You can't do this!

Stop crying. You'll wake Yang-soon up.

Don't ever forgive me for this.

Don't forgive me for having Yang-soon either.

Don't worry. I can work overtime at the mine.

Did you pick the wrong land too?

Live here for centuries.

This is...

our land now.

The wind feels eerie today.

MINE ACCIDENT 15TH ANNIVERSARY

Did Mr. Moon go to the mountain?

He didn't fetch a gun here, so he's probably at home.

Good.

He should stay home on a day like today.

I don't know why he's so obsessed with that mountain.

I wish I could destroy that gun.

Chief, come on. You like hiking too.

Why are you so sensitive today?

I don't like hiking in that mountain.

Only ghosts live there.

MINE COLLAPSE RESCUE OPERATION COMMENCES

Ma'am?

Damn it...

She's alive!

-Ma'am! -Hey.

Are you okay?

She's alive?

Didn't she say it was her son's land?

So what do we do?

I called the chairman for nothing.

What now, Mr. Park?

What?

This is an accident!

Don't you want to pay off your debts?

What?

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

What do we do?

Pull yourself together.

POLICE CHIEF SON

OUT OF SERVICE AREA

Grandma!

Oh. It's Grandpa.

I told you there was a landslide!

Didn't you hear?

Is he a detective?

No.

So you were the hiker who's always seen around here.

Mister, lend me your phone.

My battery ran out. This place drains it.

Do you have a phone?

You don't?

POLICE CHIEF SON

POLICE CHIEF SON

Is he your grandpa?

No.

Then?

Someone I know.

Give it back!

She's a dimwit.

Do you hunt here often?

This place is weird.

I only see old things here.

Boars, elks.

And...

Yang-soon!

Grandma!

Hey, damn you!

-Old man, calm down. -Hey, stop.

Grandpa!

-Stop it! -Let go!

-What are you doing? -Old man, let go.

Grandma's necklace!

-Get your foot off the necklace! -Stop it!

What are you doing?

Go away!

Dude!

Crap! He's dead.

Old man!

Old man!

What about Grandma?

-Grandma... -Old man!

That way!

The road is forked!

-Find him. -We'll go left!

POLICE CHIEF SON PLEASE SEND A RESCUE TEAM

Yang-soon.

Take this and go down that way.

I know the way.

You know Chief Son at the police station?

Go and show him this.

-Okay. -Good girl.

Go on!

Hey, old man!

Hey!

Old man!

Stop right there!

Stop!

How does he run so fast?

Stop!

Will you just stop?

Old man!

Wait! Wait for me!

Wait for me!

Damn, where did he go?

Mr. Park!

Wait!

Wait for me!

Hey, Mr. Park!

Hold on.

One minute, please.

Listen to me, Mr. Park.

Chasing him won't solve anything.

Let's talk about what we should do with the gold.

He was watching us.

We just need to catch him. Once we do that...

Then what?

I'll take the responsibility and cover it up.

Can you find the kid?

This way isn't toward the town, so she'll go around.

And since she's dumb, we'll find her soon.

Let's move.

One second.

But...

that old woman is still alive.

The rest of you, follow me.

He looked like he could climb several mountains.

Won't it be hard to get him?

No?

What are you doing?

Several mountains, my ass.

Joong-hyun, why are you giving this to me?

Just keep it.

Your son, Dae-guk, gave it to my wife a long time ago.

I heard you opposed it.

-Their marriage. -Don't bring that up!

Do me a favor. Please take the ring.

Or I can't face you anymore at work.

Hello?

Yes, I'll take care of the old man and woman. Don't worry.

He even brought liquor?

What a sad life.

The child is a simpleton, so it's okay.

But just in case, let's do it properly.

I said I'll take care of it!

I don't hear any ideas coming from you!

Hello?

Hello?

Hide that needs hiding

Forget that needs forgetting

And start anew

Life is sad

Hey.

Cover up her eyes.

Life is so sad.

Pardon me, ma'am.

It's a tight fit.

This is so tiring.

Yang-soon...

Yang-soon...

Seriously?

What is it?

You do it.

Why should I?

He wants you to do it yourself.

We're all on the same boat now.

By the way...

What is it?

The detector, why did you turn it on?

I was just fiddling with it.

Why?

Pulling the trigger is the same.

Let's wrap this thing up.

Wait!

Hey, wrap it up.

Oh, goodness.

Pardon?

Old man?

Old man?

What did you say?

Damn you.

Here, the old man's gun.

MOON KI-SUNG

Even the gun is ancient.

So, do we place this beside him?

Make it look like he shot her.

And bury her, but not too deep.

I'll find her body and write it up as an accident.

So we found him red-handed, a gunfight broke out,

he died, and so did my man.

You're a cop too, so you get the picture.

But why did you bring so many?

Just in case, you prick.

How else are we going to take care of everything?

And the kid?

Not yet.

What will you do?

We almost got her. What should we do?

Mr. Park.

Isn't it obvious?

Shoot her.

Make sure you do your part.

Give it to me.

Let's do this properly.

I thought I got her!

MOON KI-SUNG

Damn it!

Is she dead?

Gosh...

That hurts...

What happened? Is she dead?

We're waiting for you to finish.

You want me to do it?

Sweetie, are you okay?

Grandma...

-What about Grandma? -It's okay.

-Goodness, it's okay. -Grandma...

Grandma...

Chief.

-Yeah? -The thing is,

we got a report from a neighboring town.

A report?

They heard multiple gunshots.

And we also found Mr. Moon's car at the base.

He probably went up.

And we're looking up the other vehicles near his.

Their cars look like they're probably hunters.

You know, professional hunters.

Okay.

Gather a search party, and tow all the cars.

Instruct the officers to arrest anyone in sight.

They're absolutely crazy!

How dare they fire a gun on a day like today!

Go.

Make a shallow grave, and do it properly!

He's so damn useless.

Why did I turn on the detector?

-That hurts! That really hurts! -Hold still.

What is this?

I want real medicine.

Did you find the necklace?

No.

But I know who has it.

That necklace is my dad's.

You told me that.

Yang-soon, give me your belt.

Why?

It's mine.

Please.

If you wait right here for me,

I'll get the necklace.

I promise.

That old man...

That fucking old man shot him!

He just came running!

Did you think he came to play with us?

He took the gun and all the ammunition.

He took my gun too, that fucker!

I'm left with this, a damn air gun. What am I supposed to do with this?

Hey, Mr. Park.

What now?

The chairman will love this.

Right?

I hope the gold will be left unaffected.

Is it possible?

Hey, what if we all...

-Let's go down, and then-- -Hey!

What are you all doing?

Give me a hand!

Mr. Park, this looks bad.

You know that, right?

Life is sad.

Guys!

What is it?

KIM YANG-SOON

"Kim Yang-soon?" That simpleton?

Why is this here?

Let's go up.

What?

-Let's go up now! -Let's go.

Shit, that startled me!

Drop your guns!

Where is he?

Drop your guns.

Is he Rambo or what?

Toss the necklace and the cellphone.

Old man!

I can cover up everything that's happened up to this point.

There's no need to do this. Lower your gun.

I made myself clear.

Make sure you catch them!

We're screwed.

He fooled us.

What?

Hey!

That way.

Shit!

That old man turned into Rambo!

Go easy on my gun!

I said we should have gone down.

Shit.

I hate this stupid air gun!

Hey!

Gosh. It's slippery!

Darn it.

Hey, if I get closer, I can get that senile Rambo.

-Cover me! -Okay.

So slippery.

Damn, we're all screwed.

He's running away!

Mr. Kim!

Mr. Kim! Get him now!

Old man, you're done.

He took off!

MYEONG-GEUN

Shall we apply for workers' compensation?

Damn, let's go down.

I barely made it out alive, you know that?

Don't take me for granted, is that clear?

Without me, no one can touch that gold.

Who'll get the permit?

You need me to get the permit before you dig up that thing!

I feel bad for you. It must be really painful.

Look, that's real gold.

People will swarm in to get a piece of that.

Why do you think he's here?

We have to pull ourselves together.

I can't do anything with my leg like this.

Never mind the gold.

I was never here.

Let's not get in touch with each other.

This is like a scene from Take a Hard Ride.

Permits

can be bought.

Don't cry over spilled milk.

We have to finish what we began.

Maybe something really is wrong with this mountain.

Yang-soon!

Yang-soon.

Yang-soon.

Dad?

Yang-soon...

I told you to stay put.

NOVEMBER, 2000

Mr. Moon, I'm here.

Mr. Moon?

Hello?

-Chief Son? -Yes.

Is Mr. Moon still not talking?

He has been like this for a week.

What a headache.

Yeah, it's killing me too.

-You need to come in for now. -What?

Kim Joong-hyun's autopsy report is out.

Okay, I'll be right there.

HE'S ALIVE! IT'S A MIRACLE!

There wasn't anything I could do.

Joong-hyun...

He was buried under a pillar.

His arms were broken and his legs were crushed.

But he...

He...

offered his flesh so I could live...

NEWLY RECOVERED BODY OF MINER KIM JOONG-HYUN

Wishing to live is not a crime.

Are you crying?

No.

Even if I can't come with you,

don't forget to give this to Chief Son at the police station.

Got it?

Why aren't you coming?

I will. I'll be there.

Don't worry.

Since you're sick, I'll protect you now.

Grandpa,

this is not the way home.

I know. Hurry.

Look, I see the town.

So he really went over the mountain?

Young-su, was it?

What?

The guy Mr. Kim was talking about when we were preparing to come up.

Yes, it was Young-su.

What about him?

He was so engrossed in hunting that he stayed until after sunset.

And when he was heading down,

he saw something white and old

devouring a young elk...

What are you saying?

Let's begin the real hunt now.

Grandpa.

You don't hunt boars anymore?

I do. Let's hurry.

Wait.

It's following us.

Yang-soon, hurry!

It's all right.

Okay, come here.

Yang-soon, it's okay.

Grandpa!

I got them now!

Damn!

I shot him!

Mr. Park! I got him!

Yang-soon!

Damn it!

We came here to get gold. It all went wrong!

No! Stop!

He saw something white and old devouring a young elk.

Old man!

You truly are a savage animal!

No wonder you're being hunted.

I heard about something white and old lurking in the forest.

It was you.

I didn't expect that from you.

Shoot him, you idiot! Just shoot!

The chairman won't let this slide!

Wait...

Shit.

That bastard talked too much.

It's all over.

Give me the gun.

You really need to apply for workers' compensation.

Give me the damn gun!

You damn simpleton.

This is your gun.

Yang-soon!

Damn it.

Come!

Come down!

I'll eat you alive!

This is the only way down!

You'll never walk back down alive!

You'll never see the sunrise!

You hear me? You crazy old man!

Yang-soon...

ALWAYS BE SAFE

Yang-soon.

Please wake up.

Yang-soon...

Joong-hyun.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry...

Chief...

Please leave this place alive.

And please take care of...

Yang-soon.

Grandpa...

Grandpa...

Yes, sweetie.

Yang-soon.

I saw Dad earlier.

He said that

you didn't do anything wrong.

Why do you cry?

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Chief.

I identified the cars and the bodies.

We've found three bodies so far.

What on earth...

Who the hell are they?

There are all sorts of people.

A professor, an accountant, and even a cop.

Seriously?

Also a loan shark, and a civil servant too.

Gosh.

Chief!

You have to take a look at this.

This way.

Over here.

Is it gold?

No way...

It looks like pyrites.

What?

Hello?

Dae-guk.

Go on.

I think something happened to Dad.

Mr. Park, you stupid dirty cop!

Think you can leave without me?

If I get caught, you'll be finished too!

Mr. Park!

I need help!

You took the bait.

Anyone there?

Drop your gun.

I'm not going down alone!

Because of you...

This is embarrassing.

Did it work?

Wasn't my idea amazing?

Fucking Rambo. Let's have a look at you!

Damn you, old man.

Who the hell are you?

Did it feel good to pretend to be a savior

for that dimwitted girl?

Tell me, go on!

That crazy chick is a nobody. Tell me!

Wasn't my idea awesome?

Damn. Life is

sad, indeed.

All right, let's end this.

Look at him.

Shit.

That resilient old fart.

Damn you.

Did you hear that gunshot?

Search thoroughly. We must find Mr. Moon!

Tell everyone not to overlook anything.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

-Where are you? -Keep looking!

Look thoroughly.

Team B, go the other way and begin the search.

Look! Over here!

We have another body!

POLICE CHIEF SON

Gosh, darn it.

We really are so screwed.

Why are you twins so useless?

Fuck.

What are you doing?

If you shoot me, your alibi will be gone.

It was a great hike. Thanks to you,

I feel so healthy now.

Since it's all wrapped up here,

let's go home.

I don't believe this!

How are you still alive?

Bravo!

Why don't you show your face?

I've run out of bullets now!

You're driving me insane!

How did you survive that?

I thought it was all over.

I have a question for you!

Why do you risk everything for that simpleton?

Is it the gold?

Or because you like to taste human flesh?

Were you

saving that girl for lunch?

Grandpa...

Yang-soon.

I'm back.

I told you not to go up the mountain because of the landslide.

Damn it.

Grandpa.

Why?

Yang-soon!

Grandpa!

Toss your gun!

Chief.

The sun is up.

Let's go home.

Yang-soon...

Thank you.

Dad!

Dad!

Wait.

-Chief. -Dad!

He was holding this.

When he disappeared,

she didn't tell him one thing.

That she was pregnant.

It's her last personal article.

It was his gift to her...

Do me a favor. Please take the ring.

"To Chief Son,

Yang-soon is my granddaughter.

The poor child was born out of my lack of virtue.

Please make sure

she comes to no harm in the future.

This is my last wish."

Yang-soon.

You know that Mr. Moon always felt really sorry

and thankful at the same time, right?

Life will be pretty hard for you.

So you have to be strong.

I'll never let anyone take it again!

Never.

MUJIN MINE COLLAPSE GROUP MEMORIAL

Yang-soon.

This is for you.

Take it.

Do you know who this is from?

Your dad.

It's a present from Dad.
