You were out drinking all night. Where did you get the money from?

Why would he need any money? He's always mo0ching off others.

You could've made me some soup.

When have you ever got us groceries, Mr. Piggy? Y0u can talk.

Shut your mouth and eat your breakfast!

-I can't eat with my mouth shut. -You little brat!

Don't be so hard on him just because he's not your child .

Ever since we got together he's changed for the worse.

Oh yeah? Do y0u regret marrying me then?

Remember all the things you said when you prop0sed?

You said you'd die of heartbreak and turn into a gh0st!

Didn't you promise to break your back to try and supp0rt us

and raise Jun-il Iike your own? S0 many promises and you kept n0ne!

C'mon . Why are you so upset this morning?

I love you and my feelings for you haven't changed 0ne bit!

Just. ..give me another two months. Two m0nths!

In just two months, our life will turn around !

I can't wait another two months! It's been two years already!

Ouch, my back!

-Give me that money! -Hey, watch it.

-You do this all the time! -Get off!

I borrowed that money for our new shop. And y0u had the nerve to pinch it?

Listen, a man needs money to walk tall. Please give me some cash .

Here, take this back.

Well then, I'm off. Have a good day!

Goodbye!

Here comes your junkman. Any junk please!

-You're so talented ! -I buy junk.

He's nothing but a junkman . H0w c0me pe0ple call him a priest?

Hey, don't say that. Apparently, he used to be a big shot priest

Before he ended up here

When are you gonna stop wearing those hideous mourning cl0thes?

Hey, listen to yourself! A widower must grieve f0r at least 3 years.

My goodness! We have a woman 0f virtue among us!

So, you're gonna take over Mr. Nam's grocery store, right?

Yes.

That's great.

Jun-il's mum is gonna take all the money in this neighbourhood.

She won't stop there though . She'll want to take 0ver the whole city.

Tell me about it.

Jun-il's mum sure is one tough woman .

Hmm? What's wrong?

-Excuse me! -Yeah?

Where did you get these from?

What's got into you, woman? Now that y0u've c0me into some money y0u've n0 respect?

-These are my husband's! -How can you be sure?

I'm positive! They must've got into y0ur Iaundry Iast time.

Are you saying I'm a thief? Y0u must be out of your mind !

Don't you think I'd recognise my husband's underwear?

Can you prove it?

So much fuss over some tatty pants!

You bitch !

-Bring it 0n ! -Hey!

Take this! Shame on you...

What? What a bitch !

I'll teach you a lesson !

How dare you accuse me of stealing ! Let go!

Hey, stop it. Oh my!

I'm gonna beat you up.

The younger one should back down !

Oh my goodness. S0mebody do something !

-Hey! Listen ! -Hold your temper!

Let go, I said !

One of you should Iet go first. What's wrong with you two?

-Stop it! They're so strong ! -Why do y0u have to fight all the time?

Ouch ! My butt! Have you found your m0rtal enemy or s0mething?

So much trouble over old underwear this morning .

Damn you, stupid women !

Don't you have better things to do with your time?

Drop it, both of you .

This is so unfair!

Hello.

-Hello -Yeah, well .

Are you off somewhere?

Do you still drink a lot these days?

No, of course not. I quit drinking a I0ng time ag0.

I see. I buy junk! AIl kinds of junk! Junk!

This is a piece of cake!

Oh dear, you've just lost the game! No rice wine for you .

You little brat! Because of you, I'll be broke for a month !

You're drawing again?

The wall's plastered with your drawings! What are they good for?

Is this what your real father Iooks like? Is it?

Did you have another nightmare?

Why don't you get some sleep now?

Hey you !

Do you even know how to drive? Do y0u?

I'm fed up with you, father! Drinking day and night!

You're gonna ruin your life with booze!

Back off! Y0u don't know the full story!

How dare you beat him up!

Why can't you mind your own business?

Won't you just h0ld y0ur temper?

Help me pull them apart!

Watch it burn !

What a handsome face!

The pig's nose I00ks like Mr. Kang's n0se!

It's a good sign for the shop!

AIl the best for your new shop.

Run ! Run ! Quick!

-Oh ! -Gotcha !

-You're in deep trouble now! -Why? I didn't do anything !

-It was them ! -Be quiet and c0me with me. This way!

Mr Kang can dance!

Right, come over here. Have a drink!

Come out here, sir.

Everyone, may I say something?

It was Mr Ma's 60th birthday a few days ago.

It's a bit belated but how about we throw him a party?

-Altogether in this neighbourhood? -Good idea ! Sure!

Thank you so much ! Thank you !

You survived nuclear bombs.

And lived to celebrate your 60th birthday! Wow!

So much for your new business. Bring up your child pr0perly first!

This little thief was caught red-handed in br0ad daylight!

What's the world coming to! Are you raising him to be a thief?

-In this tiny neighbourhood ! -I'm sorry.

And I can't believe there're two shops now! Shame on you !

Come here!

Honey, our guests are still here. Y0u can't just leave... Honey? Honey!

Oh man, that boy's just completely ruined the party.

How could you do this to me? H0w c0uld you !

Jun-il, don't you see h0w much I'm suffering?

This is killing me.

I'd rather die right now than watch my child

grow up to be a thief and end up in prison !

Say something ! Anything ! What were you thinking?

Why did you steal someone else's stuff?

When did you get out?

Two years ago.

-It's much too Iate now. -I know that!

The boy's Jun-il, isn't he?

Where have you been all day? Tell me!

Did I not send you to school? Did I ever ask you to w0rk?

What kind of girl quits school just because she doesn't want to study?

Oh god, that daughter of mine.

Let's wait and see

what life has in store for you . Ugh, really!

-My purse! My purse! -Quiet!

Thief! Thief!

My purse's gone!

You gave me a fright!

How come you're home at this hour?

Well, I Ieft the office early today.

That's great. Will you take me to the movies?

I'm bored out of my mind when you're not around, Ju-seok.

Kim Ju-seok!

Get dressed !

-Excuse me! -Hey!

Ju-seok!

-Help! -It's alright. I'll be back s00n.

Let's go.

You could at least tell me why you're taking an inn0cent man.

Your husband...

Get out of my way! Don't you kn0w he's a pickp0cket?

-Wish you good health and a Iong Iife! -Here, take this.

To a long life!

Drink up.

His wife would have been so happy t0 see this day.

Help yourself, Mr Ma.

You kids! Here, have these.

Don't touch anything else.

Kim Jun-il !

That's your name, right?

Go away, kids! Now! I said, g0!

You kids are impossible!

Drink up, everyone. I'll pour you an0ther one. Here!

-Look here! -Yes?

-They need more food over there. -I'm on my way!

Here, have a drink.

You drive a taxi, don't you? I've seen you around .

I run a small shop next to the floodgate. People call me Mr Kang.

Enjoy the party!

-Erm. .. have we met before? -I don't think so.

Well, maybe I'm mistaken. Enjoy the food .

That widow sure knows h0w to put 0n a show.

Oh, okay! Let's all join in !

-Spring is here! Spring ! -Spring is here! Spring !

-A happy time for families! -A happy time for families!

-Spring has come! -Spring has come!

-Spring is here! Spring ! -Spring is here! Spring !

-All the best for Ko-bang Neighbourhood ! -All the best f0r Ko-bang Neighb0urh00d !

-Hurrah for Spring ! -Hurrah for Spring !

-Young love blossoms! -Young love blossoms!

-As do flowers everywhere! -As do flowers everywhere!

-We'll jump for joy! -We'll jump for joy!

-Always so full of beans! -Always so full of beans!

Yikes! What's with the sun-shower?

Come in .

-I.. . -He'll be back any minute.

Man, it's raining so hard !

The rain completely ruined the party.

Mr Taxi Driver! Picking up some groceries?

She's my wife.

Man, you should wait for the rain to stop. Come inside and join me for a drink.

-What? -No thanks.

Don't worry. The drinks are on me. Come on in.

H0ney!

He's our new neighbour. It'd be nice to have another regular customer.

Let's go inside! Come on .

Honey, bring us some booze and food !

-Honey! Get me another bottle! -You've had more than en0ugh !

Stop bugging the hell out of me! Just bring it!

By the way, young man are you single?

-Yes. -Oh dear, you're still not married .

Hey!

Isn't she a beauty? Too beautiful f0r a slum like this.

-Hold still. -Honestly!

You're going already? There's still some booze Ieft.

I've had enough to drink.

Do drop by sometime!

Myeong-sook! Don't you rec0gnise him from s0mewhere?

He Iooks so familiar.

-Myeong-sook! -Cut it 0ut.

I told you not to come here.

Everything is gonna be okay now!

Ju-seok!

I'll be right back.

What are you doing here?

I've been at the market. And I thought I'd pick up some fish.

Jun-il is fast asleep. I'll get fish later.

What's all this for?

We're having many guests tomorrow. I need to prepare a feast.

You could've kept it simple. We didn't have to invite any0ne.

But it's the first birthday of our first son . I want to make it special.

It costs a lot of money though . Can't believe Jun-il is already 0ne.

Hey, get back to work!

Go home. I'll see you later.

Can you get some new clothes and a t0y f0r Jun-il on your way back?

Sure.

-See you later then . -Okay.

-Be home early! -Of course!

Oh dear! We're completely squashed in here!

This stop is Sujeong-dong ! Sujeong-dong !

Thief!

What? Close the door! Quick!

Oh no, what am I gonna do? I'm so upset.

I must find it quickly. I'm in tr0uble.

It's my son's 1st birthday tomorrow. Please let me go.

Tell me the truth and you'll be free to g0.

Please believe me. I said goodbye to my old life

Why did you try to run away then?

How much do you get paid a month?

About 70,000 won.

You only make 70,000 won a month and you've g0t 20,000 w0n on you?

My wife gave me that money.

Why would she come all the way to your workplace and leave her m0ney with you?

I get it. Y0u didn't want to go h0me empty-handed on your s0n's 1st birthday.

They'll consider your extenuating circumstances.

So you think I stole the money?

Now we're talking !

The Iady testified she saw you with the gang .

Her words alone are enough for me t0 arrest you .

You son of a bitch ! H0w dare you pull that face at me!

How much longer do you plan to stick around?

Why? Do I scare you?

Sooner or later, he'll catch us.

You've changed so much, Myeong-sook.

Six years is a long time.

I longed to hear your accent again...

For the past six years, I could never sleep well n0t even for a day.

You abandoned me, Myeong-sook. And I had to bear that pain.

-But my son, Jun-il. .. -I didn't abandon y0u !

You left me!

Whatever. But as for Jun-il,

I must get my child back.

It's too late now to call him your child .

Bye now!

Oh my god !

Excuse me! Do you have charcoal?

Nope!

Mr Kang ! Where is your wife?

I'm finally alright. I've got everything I need.

I've accepted my Iot. Please just Ieave me in peace.

I've got no right to ask you for anything . But give me back my son.

No way!

Who is he? He's Jun-il's father, right? C0me here!

-Honey! -Let g0!

Damn woman, y0u're a disgrace!

How Iong have you been cheating on me?

H0ney!

Over my dead body! Let go!

As Iong as I'm alive, I'm never gonna lose you .

Do you have any idea h0w much I l0ve you?

To those of you who tire of chasing money, money brings no salvation .

Remember what the Bible says.

If a man will not work, neither shall he eat. Don't ask for m0re than you've earned .

When will you arise from your sleep, Iazy man?

A Iittle sleep, a little slumber A Iittle folding of the hands to rest.

Then your poverty will come as a robber.

And your want like an armed man. Amen .

Amen !

May the Lord keep you from all harm . Let's get to work now.

-Right, let's go! -See you later.

AIright.

Hurry up! Come along !

Mister!

-Yes? -I'm d0ne!

Oh yeah? Let me wipe your b0ttom .

Hey, junkman !

You son of a bitch ! What is it that you're looking for?

You and I, we're both nobodies. What's wrong with m0ving in together?

Why do you have to treat me Iike a w0rthless piece of crap and act so high and mighty?

Don't kid yourself! Y0u think I Iike you because you're a great catch?

I'm just saying maybe two pathetic people can depend on each other.

No matter how hard you try y0u'll never get to marry a decent girl.

I'm not gonna stop hassling you ! Y0u wait and see!

Listen. I do no harm to others.

But at the same time I won't let anyone do me harm.

I'll cut to the chase. I want you to leave this neighbourhood.

Where to, sir?

This is not a private vehicle.

I hope I've made myself clear. Let's n0t run int0 each other again.

Hello?

Who is it?

I'm from the Iocal police station .

Get the door!

I need go down to the police station .

What's going on?

They've got Jun-il. He was caught stealing from a shop.

That bastard ! I knew he'd cause tr0uble.

He's such a pain in the neck.

You must come with me too! Y0u're his father, aren't you?

No, sir. Erm. ..the boy is my wife's child .

Oh, it's you .

-Where are you headed? -T0 the police station

Apparently, my boy Eok-soe got caught stealing . They took him t0 the police station .

Oh and BIack Glove's son !

He got caught too.

Are you Jun-il's father by any chance?

I'll be back soon .

Stop it. Just come here!

Go home.

Please stop showing up around him

Jun-il thinks you're dead.

A father who died an honourable death is better a father wh0's a pickpocket.

Shouldn't he be at school?

He got expelled twice. I'm gonna enr0l him again next year.

How could you Iet things get this far?

Don't talk to me like that! Y0u've never had t0 raise a child !

He probably takes after his father anyway. Like father, Iike son !

Arms straight!

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

I bet having a son-in-law like me took a toll 0n her Iife!

It's all my fault.

Thank you for waiting for me.

Peek-a-boo!

Jun-il !

Jun-il, here's a car!

Give me a kiss, Jun-il .

Promise me that you'Il never stray again n0 matter how tough it gets.

-You can trust me n0w. -I swear.

I swear on our son . Our Jun-il.

Jun-il heard you make a promise t0 him.

Never mind me but if you ever let Jun-il down

you're not his father anymore.

Not to worry!

Please don't get up.

-How did it go? -I'm sorry.

I'll have better Iuck tomorrow.

Don't worry too much. Thins will work out somehow.

Are you feeling better?

I've been lounging around the whole day. Don't worry about me.

Ju-seok, don't forget your promise.

AIright!

-Have you had dinner? -Yup, and you?

-I've lost my appetite. -D0n't give me that crap!

I'm really not hungry!

I'm sorry.

Do you wanna freeze to death?

We've run out of firewood .

Ju-seok!

Oh my god, my purse!

Jun-il !

I tried to consider the defendant's extenuating circumstances.

However, given his criminal record,

I'm left with no room for leniency. And therefore,

I hereby sentence Kim Ju-seok to 4 years of imprisonment.

Go on !

You didn't have to bother coming here.

Are you alright?

I'm fine. Y0u didn't bring Jun-il with you .

Good . I didn't want him to see his father like this.

Why are you wearing a glove in this weather?

What happened to your hand?

It's nothing .

Nothing? Show me y0ur hand .

Did you get hurt?

I got a slight burn .

You needn't visit me here very often .

This is the last time.

Why? Is everything okay?

Yes.

Why won't you come again then?

I can't put up with all this anymore.

I can't ask you to wait for me. I'm t00 ashamed .

Do what makes you happy!

I love you . But I'm too worn 0ut.

Maybe we're not meant to be together.

I've got nothing to say to you . My life is w0rthless.

What about Jun-il though?

What about Jun-il?

Please take care of yourself.

Like a helpless boat in the midst of roaring waves

She walks endlessly with a sorrowful heart

Disgusted by spring breezes, flowers and their whispers

Will you be gone into the deep swamp?

I've been alone since my husband met an untimely death, and now my only child's been torn away from me.

I see you're out early today. Got lots to sell?

I'm not out to work. I'm on my way to see E0k-soe in jail .

Why is this happening to me?

It's all your fault! His life is all messed up now!

-When do you think he'll get out? -Dunn0. Maybe after 2 years?

-Kim Jun-il ! -Yes, sir!

Do you wanna go for a ride in my car?

Who are you by the way?

I used to Iive in the same village as your mum

when you were only a baby.

Are there any places you wanna visit?

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

Namdaemun Market? What for?

His father was a firefighter.

He died trying to put out a fire in Namdaemun Market.

I see. I'll take you there, alright?

-Hop in ! -No, don't!

He could be a kidnapper.

Who in the world would want t0 kidnap us?

He's a kidnapper!

Jun-il !

Jun-il !

Jun-il, get out of the car!

Dad, look! Jun-il just got kidnapped !

Mister, did you really live in the same village as my mum?

I sure did.

You must know my father pretty well then !

What did he look like? Was he good-I00king?

Mmm ...

Do I look like him?

Yes, you do!

-Jun-il, don't you wanna go to school? -I hate sch0ol !

-How come? -I just do.

-What do you mean you just do? -Argh !

Hey! Be careful !

-Let go! -St0p it!

-Just let go! -I won't!

-You won't? -N0pe!

What a little nitwit.

Where did the fire happen five years ago?

What did you just ask him?

Over there! That's where my father died .

I'll take you home now.

A brand new t-shirt?

I didn't steal it. Don't worry.

Where did you get it from?

S0meone gave it to me!

Stop lying and tell the truth !

-A man bought it for me! -A man? Who?

Whatever!

What are you going to do?

Well? What do you want me do?

-I have a husband ! -St0p saying that!

I was your husband once!

It's all in the past now.

You can't make it go away with those simple w0rds.

Are you happy now?

When you're around I'm scared something will g0 wr0ng .

-Please leave. -How about my b0y?

You're still young . I'm sure you'Il find a nice woman

and have more children . Y0u should make a fresh new start.

Do you really mean that, Myeong-sook?

Where's your mum?

She couldn't stand you, Mr. Piggy! She ran away!

You little brat! H0w can you call your father Piggy?

What a sight for sore eyes!

Go back to the house!

Didn't you hear me?

Come here!

This is no way for men to behave. Fighting over a girl like this.

Why don't we go somewhere and grab a drink together?

When I was young I g0t up to all sorts of nasty things.

And I fooled around with many girls.

Look at you . Y0u're n0t too bad looking yourself.

You must've broken quite a few hearts.

Was BIack Glove one of your girlfriends when you were young?

I'm not stupid, you know. I swear I'll die before

I give up my wife. I can't Iive without her.

There's plenty more fish in the sea. Black GI0ve isn't the only one.

Just forget her and move on .

I could set you up on a date with someone?

So, when are you gonna leave this neighbourhood?

I never said I was leaving .

You're not going down without a fight! Y0u're a man alright!

But let me tell you something . Pick your battles m0re carefully.

Black GIove got over you long ago.

As for Jun-il, he's your child after all. S0 you can take him back if y0u want.

I'll yield that much. Okay?

Yield? Watch your tongue!

Don't be rude! Y0u brought him into the world.

But I raised him all these years! I'm just as much a father to him !

When it comes to Jun-il y0u have n0 say in the matter.

Why you little! There's no p0int in talking to y0u !

You're no match for me, fatty!

Honestly!

Watch your mouth !

I'll finish you off!

I'd like to see you try.

You listen ! Don't show yourself up in front of Myeong-sook again .

Or you'll never see another day!

You men are unbelievable!

Why do you have to break things that d0n't even belong to y0u !

Keep it down, woman ! Quiet!

Men get fed up and leave me. I'd be a f00l t0 miss them .

You're no different from the others.

I gave him a lesson. He won't c0me anywhere near you now.

Your skin looks a bit coarse. Y0u need vitamin C.

That's why I've got you some fruit!

Here! Have some. C'mon . Take it.

I'll learn to control my temper.

And I'll try to be more sensitive.

Dance with me, honey!

One at a time please! Okay, you want that one? That one.

You little thief!

Where do you Iive? Tell me where y0u live!

Oh, so you've picked this one? H0w much is it?

It's 5,500 won, sir.

Let's go!

Are you not married, mister?

No.

You're single!

Why don't you stay for dinner?

I don't wanna eat your food . I bet it tastes h0rrible.

I'll order something delicious from a restaurant.

-What you feel like eating? -Noodles with black bean sauce!

Sure. I'll go and get some for you .

Mum !

Mum !

That's you. That man is the taxi driver. Who is this baby? It's me, right?

My father isn't dead, is he?

I told you . He died in a fire accident...

Liar!

-The taxi driver! -Yes, he's your real father!

Don't say that!

He's my father!

Right?

Why was he gone for so long?

-He was on a ship, really far way. . . -St0p lying !

-I'll tell you everything . -Please d0n't!

He's old enough to know the truth !

Please don't!

Your father was in prison.

Guess what, kid . Y0ur father is a pickpocket.

Jun-il !

Jun-il ! Jun-il !

How could you ! How could you !

What do you want from me?

Y0u men ! Haven't you done enough damage?

You guys have no right to mess around with my child !

Blood is thicker than water.

Even if the sky falls down I'm still his father, and you're his mother.

How can you even bring up the word 'blood'?

You never took responsibility for y0ur own son !

And now you're talking about blood?

I can be a good father now!

Back in prison and before I f0und you,

I'd clung to a faint hope.

I thought maybe y0u'd wait for me one last time

I haven't given up yet.

Please give me another chance.

Come away with me. I'll be good . I swear on my Iife.

In the morning before dawn c0me find me by the ditch.

Please don't wait for me.

Do me one last favour then.

Please let me take Jun-il.

Now he knows you're a pickpocket.

He won't come with you.

H0ney! Honey!

Jun-il, is that you?

A scumbag like me deserves to die.

Two weeks! Just two weeks left!

Please don't leave me.

You're all I've got left in this world .

Bear with me for another two weeks. I'll make s0mething of myself.

Please stay with me! We'll get out of here, alright?

He'll be gone soon .

Have you seen Jun-il around?

Jun-il? I've not seen him all morning.

You're still around?

Where's Jun-il?

He ran away because of you.

And Myeong-sook?

She's out looking for him.

You should be out there I00king f0r him too!

It's no big deal. He'll be back in a day or two.

I'll give him a serious scolding and kn0ck some sense into him .

Son of a bitch ! You lay a finger on him and I'll kill y0u !

You're starting today?

Yes, Reverend .

Your hands are pretty full with the kids and the laundry.

Now you're running a food stall too. Y0u must find it tough.

There's nothing I won't do. Reverend, without your help

the five of us would've starved to death on the street.

And you helped me start this business. I can't thank you en0ugh...

Hey, junkman !

I see you've picked up a woman !

Junkman ! Is this the best y0u can do?

Of all the women in the world y0u chose a wid0w with children !

A young woman Iike me is still unmarried . And this old wid0w's bagged herself a bachelor!

Well, lucky you ! Do give him I0ts of tender loving care, alright?

When's the wedding?

Look at yourself! The face of a 26-year-old woman !

You act like you've given up on life picking fights with everyone!

How could you talk about love with that f0ul mouth of yours?

Do you know what love is? Y0u don't deserve love.

Why can't you Iove these children? If you really love me,

you must fix your broken heart first!

Stay away from booze. Act Iike a respectable y0ung lady.

When your heart can embrace those ar0und you,

you'll be able to love me ten times better.

I've given you the best deal ever!

-So I'll pay the balance in a week's time. -Got it.

Looks like I'm finally getting out of this stink hole!

Man, why did you sell your shop at such a low price?

A real man cannot be satisfied with that tiny shop all his life! Right?

Nonsense! When are you moving?

-In ten days! -Ten days?

In ten days...

-Oh, hello. -Yes.

Where are you off to?

I need to find my son.

I really need to get something for my new food stall .

We'll selling the shop. There's hardly anything left.

Do you have red pepper paste?

-Wait here. -Oh, thank y0u.

Honey! I've sold the shop!

Oh !

Mind the shop while I'm gone.

H0ney! Honey!

The shop's been sold and we're getting the m0ney in a week.

Myseong-sook! Listen carefully. We must Ieave this place right away!

What on earth are you talking about? Don't be ridiculous!

Let's move tonight!

We can just ask our neighbours to look after the shop!

Are you crazy? We can't move t0night!

Our son's ran away from home! We don't know where he is!

I'll track him down and bring him home.

Hang on . Do y0u kn0w that woman from earlier?

Of course not! Stop asking questions and just do as I say!

Hey?

I'll be gone a few days. Get ready to move before I c0me back.

-Look! We're going that way, right? -Yes, sir!

How do you know my husband?

Seven years ago, my husband and I moved t0 Se0ul out of the blue.

We got a place near Majang-dong and settled d0wn .

We'd been farmers all our lives so at first we could barely make ends meet.

Gradually, we came into some money and my husband got greedy.

He became too cocky. He started his own group

of junk dealers, and acted as their leader.

The Iandfill in that neighbourhood had long been under the contr0l of the local gang .

One day, a fight broke out between my husband and the gangsters.

And my husband lost his Iife.

The one who killed him is your husband !

Only ten days Ieft until the statute of limitations expires!

Can't believe I ran into her at this point!

If we'd known he had family we'd have contacted you .

But the boy insisted that he was an orphan.

So we believed him.

In y0u go!

Before he got here he hurt his arm a little.

He's been receiving treatment in our medical centre.

The child needs a lot of love and attention at home.

Goodbye.

-What happened to your arm? -I tripped and fell.

-How bad is it? -They said I had a crack in my bone.

-My son ! -Mum !

Come away with me. I'll be good . I swear on my Iife.

Please don't leave me. Y0u're all I've got left in this world .

The one who killed him is your husband !

I think he has a fever!

He's sweating a lot!

To a man, his family is more important than his own well being .

I've finally come to my senses.

You bastard ! I'll kill you !

Please, stop it!

Go home. I'm begging you.

Don't do this! Talk to me.

Get out of my way!

Don't you dare interfere! Not 0ne of y0u !

Unless you wanna die!

So it's come to this at last!

I knew it.

It's getting out of control . I'm gonna call the c0ps.

What's going on?

Please! PIease! What's wrong with you people?

Hit me instead ! Hit me!

Get out of the way, Myeong-sook!

Go! Go!

Please! Stop it you two! What do y0u want now?

Why are you doing this?

When will you stop acting Iike a devil?

Mum !

Jun-il ! Go with that man. Okay?

Jun-il, listen to me. Just go with him .

Be a good boy now. Go live with your real father!

-Listen to your mum ! -Mum !

Take Jun-il and get out of here! Hurry up and go!

Jun-il ! I told you to follow that man ! Quickly!

No! I wanna stay with you, Mum !

What are you waiting for? Run !

If you get caught now y0ur Iife is over!

Oh god !

Are you a victim too?

No, it's nothing ! Just a family quarrel .

It's no big deal.

Did he raise his fist?

No, he's got nothing to do with any of it.

He was just trying to break up the fight.

Who was fighting?

Me.

Are you saying that you beat him up?

Quick! Get a hand cart! What're y0u waiting for?

You knew everything, didn't you? Y0u knew what I'd d0ne.

Why did you stay by my side?

Just go get a hand cart now! Y0u've got to Ieave in the m0rning .

You love him more. Why are you still here?

I've come to accept my fate.

Mum ! Are we taking my desk too?

Dear Jun-il Y0ur father is n0t a pickpocket.

He's a good man .

You know I'm a liar, don't you? Can't believe you fell for it, fool.

From Mr. Piggy

Dear Myeong-sook

Myseong-sook, you deserve someone much better than me.

Goodbye. Everything is gonna be alright.

Kim Ju-seok!

Get lost.

AIl that beating didn't teach you any manners?

We need to talk.

I've nothing left to say.

-Go back to Myeong-sook! -Think bef0re you speak!

I mean it. Go back to her.

I've got to Ieave on my own.

You irresponsible bastard ! Man up and Io0k after your woman !

I may be irresponsible towards Myeong-sook. But I can't turn a blind eye to my sin .

Years ago, I used to be a gangster. And I killed someone.

The statute of Iimitations expires in just six days.

That means my case will be closed. But I'm gonna pay for my sin.

Can't Iive with a guilty conscience.

I'm turning myself in.

I found a safe haven in Myeong-s00k.

But please don't think I didn't I0ve her truly.

She acts all tough but she's a delicate woman .

Hurry up! She might've left already.

Where're you headed?

I'll give you a ride.

I might come back someday. I'll be in y0ur sh0es then.

Take care of yourself!

Mum ! Please don't cry!

My son !

Our neighbours' suffering is our own suffering .

Jesus Christ bore our pain and suffering for us.

Being a true Christian means y0u t00 must share

your neighbours' suffering.

Those who mock and deny God !

When will you stop sighing and moaning?

Blessed are the hungry for y0u'll be given a feast.

Jesus Christ said 'Blessed are the poor.'

The Lord Almighty is alive today.

God is knocking on the door of your heart.

Our wish is to be faithful to God and meet Him one day.

As Christ loves us we're all His children .

In this very neighbourhood.

The healthy do not knock on the h0spital door.

Only when you get sick do you visit the hospital.

No father would give his child a stone instead 0f candy.

Looks like she's moving today?

Only the eldest is from my dead husband . The rest have different fathers.

What's this?

Please accept it. It's the m0ney I got f0r the shop.

-I can't take this! -I know how tough it is to be a single mum .

How could you possibly raise four children on your own?

I'm sorry.

Mum ! Where are we going?

Are we gonna Iive with my real father?

No! Don't ever talk about him again .

Mum, that man is my real father. Isn't he?

-He isn't a bad man, is he? -Be quiet!

Mum !

Mum !

Mum !

Dad !

My son !

-The End-
