CJ Entertainment presents

Thirty cents? That's all you've got?

A Corea Entertainment Production

Are you fucking playing with me? Huh?

Pierre? Pierre?

Pierre must be laughing at us.

Thirty cents won't get us anything. Let's go.

- Have some money with you next time. - Let's go.

Oh, shit I forgot!

Hey you.

I hear you've taken up martial arts.

How far have you gotten?

You're training to fight? To get back at us?

What are you staring at?

THE ARTOF FIGHTING

THE ARTOF FIGHTING

What? You want to learn to fight?

You train to strengthen your body.

Not to fight.

It's a fight against yourself.

That's all.

Drink up.

Screwed up, isn't it?

You want to be a good fighter,

but I'm shitting you with nonsense.

- But you know what? It's... - I want to quit the classes.

What's with the temper? Fine.

I'll teach you, but you'd better enroll next month.

Now.

To define the art of fighting...

Fighting starts on your feet and ends when someone goes down.

In a real fight,

you need to have the most effective techniques.

Like what?

They say you can knock a tiger down if you target its eyes.

The most sensitive spot in your body

are your eyes!

There! Got that?

Yes, sir.

- I can't hear you. Got that? - Yes, sir!

Okay!

Will you pipe down?

All you've got is one bottle of soju between you!

Who said that? So what if it's just one bottle?

Byungtae, stay here. You're too young to see blood.

Come out, you bastards.

Sir, I didn't mean what I said.

You know how it is.

It's after work, you're tipsy,

and you're in a good mood,

so your voice can get loud.

And you offend someone without meaning to.

What I'm trying to say is...

What do you think you're doing?

We're closing up!

You little twits...

You'd better do it right! Straighten those arms!

What are you doing over there?

Proud of your stay at the juvenile center?

What are you staring at? Huh?

What's the matter? Can't do it?

Go to your place!

Miserable idiot...

Now, count!

Thirty-nine...

Forty...

I told you not to count the last number.

Do eighty more.

Who was that, anyway?

- Why'd you say that? - Forty? Forty? Say it again!

Thanks to you, I've got a leg cramp.

The counselor told me about his family.

His father's an inspector at the local station.

Why?

Your old man's a police officer?

Look at him all scared.

Answer me!

He's pretty as a girl. You've got beautiful eyes.

Let's see if you've got a dick.

Hey! Looks like you have one!

I'm so honored to meet the son

of a police officer.

Let's be friends from now on.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Let's go.

What's with your face?

Did you get into a fight? You just moved to that school!

Is it because I transferred you from an academic school?

If you had a future in studying,

I wouldn't have transferred you.

It'd be better if you learned a trade.

Sit down.

Stop right there! Byungtae!

Byungtae!

Daemyung Study Room

Manager

Kids beating you up?

Life at school hard for ya?

It's always the losers who beat up other kids.

In fighting...

You have to take away the other person's will to fight.

Weak kids like you are not worth a damn.

So you know what you do? You throw!

Chairs, potted plants, anything!

Let's go. Just throw it at them!

The best thing to throw...

is a fluorescent light bulb.

That's the shit.

Twit.

What you staring at, boy?

You little smurf.

Whoa!

- I bet it'll burn good. - Look! His hair's burning!

- Do you have to come to school? - Can't you just quit?

Why don't you tell your daddy on us?

This jerk has no sense of guilt.

- He's a clueless freak. - How's it feel to have a police dad?

He's asking you a question, you twit!

Hey!

Looking for a weapon?

You have to screw it to the left. You're such a loser!

Come on down, honey. You'll get electrocuted.

Let's go. Leave the little idiot.

When did this fall off?

Back in my day, those bulbs came off easily.

They used to be shitty,

like this nail.

I knew it! Made in Korea.

Hey! Those things happen in fights!

You just lack experience!

What are you staring at?

Will you hurry up? Come on!

- It's freaking hot. - It stinks in here. Get out.

- Where's the torch? - Get out!

I'm taking this water.

Where's the torch?

Carp! Strip him.

Hurry up and strip!

Your father's an inspector at the local station?

Hey! I was surprised!

Bitch! You'll break your arm!

When your daddy sent me to the reformatory...

Paco! Are you okay?

Why, you...

Are you insane?

Get him!

Hey! No running!

Are you okay?

You jerk!

You are so dead.

Mr. Kim! Are you okay?

Hey! Paco! Where you going?

- Hey! - Paco!

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!

Keep still! Want to end up a cripple?

Keep still!

Put your hands out front!

Who's next?

Song Byungtae? I didn't know you were so worthless.

What are you glaring at? Take off your socks!

What's with the attitude? Start counting!

Start counting! Now!

A wise guy, eh?

Don't even think of getting into a fight here.

No other school will accept you.

Your life will be over.

So, you're not going to count?

You think you're innocent?

Aren't you going to count?

How many was that? Was no one counting?

Where's the class president?

It was over a hundred.

- Who the heck are you? - I'm just a transfer student.

It's been a long time.

When did you come back from Seoul?

My dad forced me to transfer many times, too.

It's a pain trying to score new friends.

That's a real pain in the ass.

That's why I was happy to see

a familiar face.

What's with your dad anyway?

Technical high schools aren't worth shit nowadays.

You have a tough hide.

What?

I thought you were strong. But I hear you're bait.

Byungtae?

Remember our seventh grade P.E. teacher? Jang?

Remember what he used to say as he beat up the kids?

- I feel so alive... - I feel so alive.

Hey! You do remember!

Damn, this is a nice view.

Stop eating everything.

- Paco! - Yes, boss.

When was your last errand?

It's been almost a year, boss.

Don't run errands anymore.

Come to me if you need help.

Boss?

You're part of the family now.

Okay?

Yes, boss!

Sure-fire Way to Win a Fight

Holding it vertically, throw the coin at the opponent's brow.

Be it a boxer or a gangster, the opponent will fall.

- What are you doing here? - I'm here for my coin...

Hey.

Stop farting, you dirty bastard!

Look at that!

Bring me a handful of salt.

You just wasted good salt.

Bring me a handful of salt.

If you hit me again, you'll be shitting blood.

What do you say to that?

Whirl! Bam!

Sir, I'm sorry, but...

But what?

I'm really sorry, but...

But?

I mean, I'm sorry, but...

What's with you?

Will you teach me how to fight?

Get out!

But, sir...

Get out!

Now!

Didn't you hear me? Take those earphones off!

I'll give you a few more days. Bring the money.

Don't you dare steal from me. Got that?

I'm talking to you!

I'm going to pay you back! Just wait!

- Happy? - Better keep your word. Or else!

What are you doing here again?

Shit.

You bastard!

Want to try shitting blood?

Let me go! Now!

Have you ever taken a look at your bone?

- This is how you threaten someone. - You bastard...

Tell your brother to get me my passport by this week!

Want to quit your life as a broker?

Stand up straight, you fool!

So, you want to learn to fight?

Is your family rich?

Excuse me?

No?

Then forget about it.

It takes money to fight.

See, you have to pay for your enemies' hospital bills.

You listen to me.

Fighting is full of shit.

You know you shouldn't do it, but it gets to you somehow.

The second you throw that punch, you regret it.

You know that?

It's not a good solution. Besides, I don't know how to fight.

Have you been beaten up all your life?

I won't regret anything.

I've regretted often enough.

Go back to your books.

- Teach me. - Let go!

- Please! - Let go! Now!

How dare you!

Spit that out!

- Teach me to fight. - You scared me!

Sir...

You should eat this before it gets soggy.

- What brand is it? - Samyang.

- Did you put eggs in? - Yes.

I like my ramen with nothing in it.

You can leave that here.

"The Dragon in the world" 7th is coming out the day after tomorrow.

Have you seen my zippo? It's a gold Dupont.

- I haven't seen it. - Are you sure?

You're the only one who comes to my room.

If I find out who took it, I'll kill him.

Mr. Ha! Can I borrow a light?

I guess.

Isn't this something? It's gold and shiny.

Mr. Ha. Ever been hit with a lighter?

He's not here. Let's go.

Where is this bitch?

I'll kill you if I see you, Song Byungtae!

What's up with them?

Didn't you hear?

Paco was beaten up by Mr. Kim.

Because of that flowerpot he threw?

Aren't you Byungtae's seatmate? You should be careful, too.

Poor Byungtae...

Why are you sleeping in my room?

Get up!

What's with you? Are you sick?

Sir...

What?

I want to become strong...

Can you cross the line?

Can you stab me with this?

If you really want to learn, then stab me.

If you can't, just go back to your studies.

Either kill, or be killed.

One... Two...

Three.

Three. That's it.

Go back to your desk.

If you ever pull that stunt again, I'll kill you.

Only idiots hurt themselves. Got that?

Those pig intestines are good for you.

Eat up.

Sir...

You're so persistent. Do you really want to learn?

And you won't regret it?

You'll pay for the food?

If we get thirsty, you'll pay for the drinks?

And you won't start doubting?

Excuse me?

Not me. You! You shouldn't doubt yourself.

Ma'am.

Pay the bill.

Stop it, Jungmin!

Die! Die!

Why are you kids fighting?

You have to make use of the objects around you.

Sand and spit are the easiest things to use.

Isn't that foul play?

There are no foul plays in a fight. There are no rules in a fight!

What's that?

- It's a voice recorder. - You're a weird kid.

Hurry up!

This way sir.

Sir! But that's not ours!

Everyone's supposed to share.

Big muscles will slow you down.

You have to develop fighting muscles. Now twist!

Do you feel it? That muscle, right there!

Twist!

Harder!

Squeeze it dry!

Squeeze!

What? Never seen a person do laundry before?

Strengthen your lower body! Press down on those sheets!

There.

It always rains after I do laundry.

What? The weather's perfect!

Thanks.

Good fighters don't fight.

The best way to win is to avoid fighting.

You just need to scare them.

Do you know how to break bottles?

Excuse me?

You have to be careful. You can't hurt yourself.

And it'll be useless to end up

with just the bottleneck.

Watch.

If you get into a fight, slash your arm with this.

You have to come off strong.

If you do, eight out of ten will run away.

Why? Because they'll be scared.

You can see her panties!

Look at that!

Song Byungtae!

Why is your hand down there?

Get it out!

What's that?

Follow me! Now!

Can this really work?

Of course.

Give me a coin.

Hit him square in the forehead.

It'll kill him in one stroke!

Manager

That boy's at it again.

Come back to bed.

Thief!

Hey, stop! To the right! Right!

Are you out of fucking breath? Huh?

How many did you steal?

Come on! I dare you to drink it!

Fight Journal

I was hit 21 times today. Continuously.

But it was okay.

I've gotten stronger. I'm better at getting beaten up.

Fighting's all about the psyche.

You have to read your opponent's mind.

No score!

Let's see...

Eleven, Twelve points You've got nothing, so you owe 6 dollars.

What about the bonus card? That's one more point.

Bastard...

- That's worth 3 points. - Give me my money.

You can't pay in coins!

Pay in bills!

Come on! Pay it in bills!

Here. And here's your change.

Have you spent your life fighting?

That's why you don't know yourself.

You can use your head as a hammer.

When someone grabs your collar,

push down on his hands.

That way, the guy's head would bow forward.

That's when you knock him out with your head!

Headbutt his face!

Hey!

Who told you to smoke in school?

Aren't you scared?

No. I'm not.

Why should you care whether I smoke or not?

Are you out of your mind?

Are you high on something?

Where'd I get this?

Eat up.

You've got good eyes.

They're trained to be quick.

You know where your opponent will attack.

And you're strong.

What?

I can see it in your eyes.

See? You kept your eyes open.

Let's go, Byungtae.

- Do you accept checks? - I'm sorry. We don't.

- I'll pay for this one. - But I wanted to treat you.

- How much? - Fifteen dollars.

Here you go.

You didn't have to do that...

It was really tasty.

The fried chicken was great. Even better with the beer.

- I'll pay next time. - Okay.

He rarely comes home. I guess he's at puberty.

He should study harder, but his mother is...

Yes?

His mother is someplace far away...

He needs his mother.

Where exactly is she?

She's gone. She's dead.

I was worried

he might get in with a bad crowd

and take up smoking and drinking.

I know kids like that.

You must have an interesting job. What is it you do?

Just stuff.

Life is hard, both for me and my son.

- Nogueira is the best. - Get out.

Lee Wangpyo is better.

Nogueira can break his arm with his moves!

- Show it to me. - It'll really break!

Try it!

Hey! Song Byungtae!

- It'll really break! - Try it!

Byungtae! Come out!

- It'll really break! - I don't think it'll hurt.

Hey! Can't you hear me?

Why aren't you getting up?

Are you crazy?

Snap out of it! Idiot.

Hey! Paco's calling us!

I'll see you after class.

Did you just laugh at me?

Did you laugh at me? Am I funny to you?

You wanna die?

Asshole!

Have you gone nuts?

You! You're dead!

Let me go!

You wanna die?

What are you doing?

Stop it.

Stop it!

Are you crying?

No! You sprayed water on me!

Cocky bastard!

Chase that with something.

Jerk!

Are you drinking? You out of your mind?

You bastard!

Let me go!

- Get up! Now! - Let me go!

You're in for it today.

Hey!

Don't get into someone else's fight.

Why not?

Just stay still.

Hey!

Bitch!

- Go help her if you want. - Me?

Throw it at his head. Make the first move.

What is it? Scared?

Alright, let me go.

- That's enough. - I've got it!

You motherfucker, this is the last chance, got it?

Hey.

How may I help you?

What are you doing in broad daylight?

Why? Do you want to help her?

You look too weak to be a knight in shining armor.

I'm starving as it is, so I'd love to slit your stomach

and slather some sauce on it

with the meat from your thighs

and gobble it up with some fried eggs and ketchup...

I'll chew your fucking sweet ass,

You scared me. Got a lot of coins, do you?

Well well well! Will you look at these coins!

You bastards!

Stop it!

Stop it!

Hey, you little shits!

And who are you?

Hey.

Are you a knight, too? What?

- Let's just go. - Why?

It's him.

- That asshole... - Hey! Don't!

I hear you fight well. Let's see what you've got.

In any case, why are you

coming to our turf?

You little weasel.

You'll need a diaper for your blood shits.

What?

Let me disinfect that.

Byungtae! Got all the coins?

Come on.

Just give me a minute. Hey!

Is it raining?

What are you doing? Stop it!

Oh!

Come on. Stop it.

- I try to be nice to that man. - Do something!

- But he's too strong for me. - I'm outta here.

I can't drink this anymore. Jungah!

Don't forget to leave the door open!

How do you know him?

He's my teacher.

Your teacher?

So how does he fight so well? What does he teach?

- Techniques! - Techniques?

He goes to a technical high school.

I see.

What subject do you teach?

Car maintenance? Or welding?

The art of fighting.

You're teaching a kid how to fight?

Fighting isn't about using fists.

It's about dealing with life.

- What do you do? - Me?

What do I do? I'm not sure.

You're just like him.

I'm taking off. I have homework to do.

Hey! Byungtae!

What's gotten into him?

Kids his age get upset easily. He'll be fine.

Can I bum one?

What?

On closer inspection, you look quite pretty.

What if it's not on closer inspection?

Then I won't see you clearly.

You have to inspect closely to see a person clearly.

You're going to fight him?

But, Jaehoon...

I need to pay him back. I'll get him.

When it's one-on-one, I can kill him with a punch.

Should I come with you?

Then it won't be one-on-one.

So why'd you call me out?

No reason.

Here.

Good to see you. Bye.

Jaehoon...

Jaehoon! Jaehoon!

That hurts!

That's enough, Paco. He's dying.

Come on! Be quiet!

I'm going to kill you.

Hey!

I'm sorry, Paco. Stop hitting me.

Want me to stop?

Please... I'm so sorry...

Fine. I'll stop hitting you.

If you eat that up. I'll let you go if you eat that.

Dirty piece of shit. Didn't know you'd really do it!

You shit!

Sunghoon! Hurry up!

Come on! Hurry up!

What are you looking at?

Hello?

Surgery in Progress Silence

He saved his life, but his condition isn"t stable.

Are you a friend?

Your number was the only thing on his phone.

Pack up, Byungtae! You're the only one left!

I'm tired of getting calls from your dad. Get out!

You"ve got a good punch and good reflexes.

But it"s funny. You can"t hit anyone.

You"ve been beaten up bad. You"ve trained so hard.

But you can"t throw a single punch. Why is that?

It"s that emotion inside you. It"s that emotion inside you.

Fear. Fear. Fear.

The fear of one who"s been beaten up.

You have to let that go.

Okay.

Come on now.

That's sweet.

Let's clean our body.

Who's there?

That little twit!

You! You're dead!

Carp!

Are you out of your mind?

Are you for real?

Do you want to die? Just like Jaehoon?

Go ahead and kill me.

Fine, I will. I'll break every bone you have.

Asshole!

Get up you bitch!

Asshole!

Let go! Let go, you twit!

Is this the end, you shit?

Piece of shit! You little shit!

I'll send you to hell!

Should I piss on you like I did on Jaehoon?

Aren't you dead yet?

Shit!

- Are you freaking human? - You crazy twit!

- This is a real knife. - Go ahead and stab me!

- Get away, you freak! - Stab me!

What do you think you're doing?

Come on. I swear I won't try to feel you up.

If I do, I'll cut off my own wrist!

You'd better come.

Hey.

Ms. Song! What you doing here, bitch?

- I have something to do. - You do? Where?

With me?

But what's with your face?

Got into a fight, did ya?

- Stinky. - Stinky?

Stinky? How dare you use my name in vain?

Bitch! Did your daddy make chief?

Are you insane? Popped some pills?

Lower those eyes! Now!

Asshole!

You"ve got good eyes.

They"re trained to be quick.

You know where your opponent will attack.

Squeeze it dry!

Should your mind die, your body will die.

You little bitch!

There are no foul plays in a fight. There are no rules in a fight!

You shit! Paco! You okay?

Get lost.

Today will be your funeral. Shit...

When someone grabs your collar, push down on his hands.

That"s when you knock him out with your head!

It"s that emotion inside you.

The fear of one who"s been beaten up.

You have to let that go.

I'm sorry about my brother.

He's a bit of a psycho.

I made you another passport.

I met Dongsu in Seoul. He got a call from an inspector.

What about it?

Well, the inspector was asking about you.

He's stationed here.

There's more than one guy.

Huh?

Byungtae probably has a guy watching his back.

Let's get them tomorrow.

That little bitch.

Did Paco really skip class?

He'll attack today. He's got his knife with him.

- Attack who? - Who do you think? Byungtae!

- Where? - How should I know? I'm not a cop!

No need to get mad at me!

He's got his knife?

Yes, dumbass. Will you shut up now? Asshole...

You can do better than that, Paco!

Shut up.

You've gotten good, you shit!

That piece of shit!

Sir, Oh Pansu is wanted for murder.

Really?

There must be some officers near Wolmyungdong!

Send them to the area! Now!

Inspector Ahn! Are you there?

Kid, where's your boss? Aren't you going to answer?

Slimy piece of shit...

Where's your boss?

You shit! What you staring at?

You asshole...

You shit!

You asshole! Try to block this one!

No, No!

Are you nuts, old man?

You idiot! You knifed me!

Why'd you rip my suit? I just had it cleaned.

Oh Pansu!

Oh Pansu! Drop the knife.

Calm down.

Drop the knife!

Does it hurt?

It's okay now.

Drop the knife!

You'll grow from this experience.

Drop your weapon!

What is he yelling about?

Arrest him!

Sir! Sir!

Let me go, you shits! Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Let go of me! Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Let go! Sir!

Let go og me! Sir!

I found out this morning that he had disappeared.

I alerted the police, but

they haven't found him yet.

He's an incredible man.

He just came out of surgery. He'd have a hard time walking.

Wasn't there anything he said?

Did he say anything?

He asked if we accepted checks.

What do you smoke?

The same brand.

That's a fancy lighter.

I learned there is a line that shouldn"t be crossed.

But he had crossed that line.

I don"t know who he was, where he came from, or where he went.

And I had no way to find out.

Some people called him crazy,

but I wanted to be just like him.
