This is the meeting place.

It's 3 o'clock. Why's no one here?

THE UNINVITED GUEST OF THE STAR FERRY

PRODUCER YANG BONG-SUK

SCREENWRITER JANG CHUN-HO

CINEMATOGRAPHER SHIN MYUNG-UI

STARRING IM JAHO SEO JEONG-A

YOON YANG-HA HWANG JEONG-RI

Excuse me.

Yes?

Can you tell me where Koreatown is?

Go about 2 km north and you'll find a mountain village.

OK, thank you!

DIRECTOR KIM SI-HYUN

Good.

That's a bad curve ball.

How about this one!

- Excuse me. - Yes.

Is this Koreatown, 27th Street?

Yes.

Good.

Do you know where Treasure Restaurant is?

That stubborn Korean piece of work?

Are you guys not fellow Koreans?

Fellow Koreans? Bullshit.

Since you're new here, let us welcome you with respect.

- Now, ready to show me the way? - Yeah.

Tell me!

That...that way.

Excuse me!

Stop scowling and get the owner of the store.

Sir.

I'm the manager.

Here to see the owner?

Yeah, we agreed to meet here.

So you don't know about the accident.

Accident?

He was...

...killed.

Killed?

Damn, what a wasted journey.

Wasted?

How disrespectful!

That's his sister.

Aha.

I just did my own analysis of this case.

And I think you should hire me.

Hire you?

Hire me to solve the case,

find out who did this,

and defend your right to live in peace.

Then, what's your analysis of the case?

It's so obvious!

The stores in the west are run by natives,

and those in the east by out-of-towners.

At first, both of them thrived.

But since Korean expats toiled day and night,

the stores in the east have prospered much more.

Now there's a huge gap between the two.

Seeing this,

the natives in the east got jealous,

and hired a gang

to coerce the owners in the west to sell off their stores.

But the Korean owners wouldn't give in.

Under the name of the Korean Expat Association,

they fought back

with this store's owner at the forefront.

But the gang didn't like him.

So he suffered such a stupid death.

Stupid what?

I apologize if my choice of words wasn't appropriate.

But you should admit it was a senseless death.

What's your point?

Well, long story short,

let me take over the case from here.

I won't charge too much for fellow Koreans.

Hire me at 1,000 dollars a week.

I promise I'll find out who did this

and protect your rights.

What do you think?

1k a week is not expensive at all.

What the...

Hey, stop!

He's a Korean, but he's getting roasted.

Keep a close eye on him.

Yes, I will.

You treat your guest like this, then just leave?

We went easy as you're a fellow Korean.

Oh, yeah? So kind of you!

I'll go to the St. Michael's Hospital to meet the female driver.

- You take care of the rest. - Yes, ma'am.

Man...

Hey, I was a bit faster.

This lady did the police interview

and she's now being discharged.

This is Mr. Lee Sang-kuk's sister.

I'm so sorry about what happened to your brother.

But you're lucky to have such a nice boyfriend.

That's not...

I've told him everything I know.

Ask him.

Bye-bye!

Bye-bye.

What on earth is going on?

I just wanted to prove I was worth more than 1k a week.

Ask me anything.

Okay then.

Who are you?

My name is Han Sung-min.

28 years old, single.

Is she just a driver? Or an accomplice?

Come on, show some manners.

When someone identifies himself, you should introduce yourself.

My name is Lee Na-young.

A single woman waiting for someone to marry.

Enough?

Yes, good.

How are you involved in this case?

I've told you several times. 1k a week...

That's all?

If there's an extra benefit, even better.

Hey!

Wait!

Hold on.

Where are you going?

I'll offer you a ride.

Stop wasting your time and go your way.

Wait.

Don't be silly.

I won't let a lady go off alone.

Wait here a minute.

Huh?

Oh my...

Seriously?

I can't believe this.

Stupid car!

You're making me blow my chance.

Crap.

Unfortunately, I've got a flat tire.

Here.

What's this?

Some notes on how I'd look into the case,

and my phone number.

Take a good look.

Once you've decided to hire me,

call me.

See you.

Dammit!

Sorry.

Hey, you!

Dude, do you know where you're messing around?

Where?

Ah, District 100, Hong Kong, St. Michael's Hospital?

That's right.

You want to get your ass kicked, huh?

- I was waiting for you guys. - What?

On your feet.

On your feet!

Deliver my message to your boss.

I offered to work for 1k a week to the Korean association.

But I prefer to work with brothers cut from the same cloth, like yours.

We'll pass on the message.

- Wait. - Yes?

We haven't settled yet.

Settle?

You broke my car, so you should pay for the window.

Ah, I'm sorry.

But all we have is money for tram fares.

Please let us go now and we'll pay you later.

Then I'll be waiting at Treasure Restaurant.

- Bring me the money by today. - We will.

- Off you go. - Yes, sir.

We had Barbara discharged today.

She should've been discharged yesterday.

I'm sorry.

You've been saying sorry too often lately.

Any update on taking over stores?

I wonder if we can put it on hold

until the authorities are less on alert.

What are you talking about?

It's almost falling into our hands.

Yes, but...

the association's still enraged.

Jackson.

You said it'd be a piece of cake

if only we got rid of Lee Sang-kuk!

Settle Barbara's situation by today.

And for the store buying project,

make it happen using any means possible.

This isn't just my order but what the higher-up wants.

Yes, sir.

And one thing more.

What?

There's a strange guy meddling around,

playing double and trying to bargain.

Bargain how?

Never seen him before

but he proposed to take care of the project for 1k a week.

He's either crazy or no pushover.

Keep an eye on him.

Yes, we'll do that.

Welcome.

Well, you live and learn.

Who could've imagined this!

- Please come in. - Okay.

Please take a seat.

It's a lucky day.

That's not it.

We treat a gentleman as a gentleman and a gangster as a gangster.

Then I better behave like a gentleman today.

I've taken an interest in your notes.

I appreciate that,

but I hope no one throws eggs at me today.

I can guarantee that.

Good, let's start talking then.

First, you're not interested in selling the store, are you?

Never.

Even if it's a good deal?

Even if my life's on the line.

I'm a second-generation immigrant.

Does that mean you have to risk your life?

Where on earth are you from?

How can you say that so easily!

I'll explain.

My parents left their homeland to come to this faraway foreign land.

They were expecting a land of milk and honey,

seeking a life of dreams and happiness.

You can't imagine where they started

and what they accomplished.

Sang-kuk,

I hope we can take our parents to their homeland.

Whenever I see them buried in a foreign land like this,

I can feel my heart breaking.

Na-young.

They left their home country to come to this faraway land,

but only then did they understand, miss and love their home country.

It's like...

leaving your mother to be on your own,

and realizing how precious she is.

While they struggled

to overcome hardships and build a foundation

they tried to contribute to their home country.

But sadly...

they couldn't achieve their dream.

But...

does that mean it's the end of it all?

Their dream, their wishes and their love...

Do you think they all went in vain?

Na-young.

Although our parents are lying here,

they'd want to see how we live,

how we miss them,

and how we keep on trying.

If you were us,

would you sell off the store and give in?

I feel like a child caught by his mom playing pranks.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Jo.

This is Mr. Jo.

He is an executive of the association and helps us with my brother's case.

I know a little about you.

Not just about this case,

you care much about Miss Na-young.

You are good, indeed.

I've heard about you from her.

Jo Suk-ju.

Han Sung-min.

Nice to meet you.

Let's sit down.

Meeting a new brother, we must celebrate.

What would you like?

Scotch, straight.

I like your taste.

Please.

Mr. Jo.

As you're an executive, let me be straightforward.

I'm listening.

In the bargaining process,

was there any bargaining agent from the west side?

There was.

A jeweler named Sergio in the west got in contact with Lee.

Didn't the authorities investigate them?

They did.

But nothing more than witness interviews.

There was no solid lead.

Lead...

Thank you.

Take a seat.

Let's toast for our first meeting.

Thank you.

Did you bring the money?

Yes, but I was and still am flat broke.

You'll be paid by them over there.

Did you like it?

I'll pay you for the window.

That's not enough.

Pay for my clothes.

I don't have that much money.

On your feet!

Please don't...

I'll give it back to you after my clothes are fixed.

Get lost.

Go!

That was impressive.

It's nothing for someone asking for 1k a week.

See you later.

Are you leaving?

Looking like this, I'd only get another egg thrown at me.

I'll get this fixed and come back to be treated better.

Thanks for the Scotch.

Later.

He's like a fighting goblin.

I think it's worth hiring him.

Are you sure?

Only if it's certain he's a Korean.

What do you mean?

These days, there're so many fake Koreans.

Come In.

You're lucky today.

What do you mean?

My late father left this to me.

I don't want to but have to sell it.

Why look at me that way?

Are you touched or surprised?

Surprised.

Is it that expensive?

If you're telling the truth, your father was a hell of a man.

This ring is really...

a fake.

I knew it.

Sorry.

You shouldn't be.

Like father, like son.

Good-bye.

Seeing his moves, he's worth more than 1k a week.

Don't hurt him.

Then what should I do?

How long have you been working for me?

Nearly five years.

Five years and that's what you're asking me?

Just forget it.

I'll take care of it myself.

Watch his back, in case anything happens.

Alright, fine.

Oh, my back.

They struck me real good.

Oh god, I'll get framed for murder.

Must be hard to be entangled in a murder.

I got immune to stuff like this.

S it true you went to the hotel on the east side?

I haven't signed any contract with any of the Korean expats.

So it's hard for me to say.

I mean, which side are you on?

I already told you, the best offer wins.

Don't you have any compassion for our people?

I do, only if the conditions are met.

Well, okay then.

I'll offer 1k a week for the down payment.

It'll cost more if it's coming from you.

What does that mean?

For an attractive lady like Na-young,

I obviously lowered the price.

But when it's from someone like you,

I expect to be paid in full.

Well then, name your full price.

But you'll get the down payment when...

So tell me, you got some money I can spend?

What kind of bullshit is this?

My, you sure like to talk, don't you?

Well then, I'll cut to the chase.

Sergio,

you serve two people.

One of them hates me,

and the other needs me.

You must be insane to come to that conclusion.

Insane?

It's common sense when you're a pro.

One of them tried to kill me off with Barbara,

and the other

kept me alive.

Which means, I serve the latter.

Well, look at Mr. Smarty-Pants here.

I haven't even started the smart part.

Starting today, the one holding your fate

is me.

What?

The look on your face.

You have absolutely no idea, do you?

You see,

the day I open my mouth that you're double-crossing,

you're a dead man.

The customer has become a burglar.

What is it you're doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

Since I basically own your fate,

isn't it obvious this money belongs to the owner?

- Say what? - Easy, my man.

You son of a...

Get over here right now!

You idiot!

You thief. Give me back my money!

Oh, my toes!

Am I the rightful owner?

Fine, you can have it, have it all.

You wanted to see me, Boss?

Today is the regular trade.

The time is 12 o'clock.

The deal will take place

in front of the toad rock on Jjang Kkeut mountain.

It will proceed just like before.

Any questions?

No questions, boss.

Yamaga.

Yes.

Recently,

I keep hearing you say "No questions,”

but then things don't end well.

Are you aware of the consequences,

if this goes on?

I am.

It concerns our rules, boss.

You should also be concerned

about how long you'll live.

Understood, Boss.

Boss.

Jackson,

make no mistakes.

Yes, Boss.

Get in!

When things have gone this far,

your organization is literally out of pocket.

Have a seat.

Are you deaf?

Go park yourself, you punk!

Tell me the truth before things get rough.

What's your name?

Your name, I said!

You punk!

What the...

You're a mute.

This is interesting.

Then, you know how to write, don't you?

My god,

what a smart move.

So, that means they used a mute

for moments like these.

Sir.

Jackson.

Is that another apology I hear?

Sorry, sir.

But Charlie is someone we can completely trust.

Jackson!

Right now,

I'm not questioning whether we can trust Charlie or not.

I'm questioning whether your mistake

has violated the organization's rule or not.

Sir!

Sir.

As I put my head to the ground, I give you my word.

If you give me five more days,

I'll find Charlie,

and restore our dignity and our pride.

How many of your fingers were cut off

for the sake of the rules we established?

So far, it's just one, sir.

Well then,

for the sake of your remaining fingers,

seems like you'll be constantly

putting your head on the ground.

Fine.

As you wish, I'll give you five more days.

Thank you, sir.

I'll do whatever it takes

to regain our pride and our dignity.

That's great news.

That yellow dickhead is finally close to an end.

Sergio, in moments like these,

be extra careful not to blow your cover.

All right.

But how much do we have to offer him?

Offer what?

He's asking for 1k a week.

Don't even think of getting under his skin.

The drugs in his hands are worth tens of thousands.

In respect for her brother, who lost his life

during his efforts to protect their right to live,

she had no intention to throw this party.

But with support from our Korean expats,

we have arranged this special evening.

This is our chance to demonstrate,

even if we're in desperate times,

we remain here standing strong,

and are united.

In fact,

the power of reconciliation and unity

is the driving force

that keeps us fighting for our right to live.

We must remember,

we are proud Koreans of Southeast Asia.

To celebrate Lee Na-young's birthday,

and also for our solidarity,

a toast.

For our unity and blessing,

let us drink!

- Let us drink. - Wait!

What's this?

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Now, for our unity and solidarity,

let us drink.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- What the hell? - Look for the circuit breaker.

For god's sake.

What just happened?

A blackout out of nowhere?

- This never happened before. - Where's Na-young?

What?

Na-young?

Oh, god.

- Na-young. - Na-young!

- Where did she go? - Na-young!

It's him.

Let's cut to the chase.

Give us Charlie,

stay away from her brother's case, and the association.

Then, you can get her back.

That's what you want.

First, put her on the phone.

Hello?

It's Na-young.

My god.

Stop your crying,

at least for your brother's sake.

I'm sorry.

I won't cry anymore.

Now listen carefully, this one's important.

I will.

I think...

I'm in love with you.

I'm not certain when it all started,

but maybe when you talked about your roots,

I mean,

the time when we talked about our roots.

I believe it was then.

Hey, you punk!

Get to the point, right now!

Stay out of this, you prick.

I'm already at my point.

Na-young.

Stay just the way you are and wait for me.

I'm going to make them pay for it.

I can no longer stand having them disgrace

the pure blood of our people.

You sly fox,

don't try anything smart.

Start talking about what you'll do with Charlie.

Not only your organization,

but your own fate depends on me.

How do you want to exchange?

You take Charlie,

I'll take the girl,

and we'll meet at a neutral zone.

Agreed.

Hello, there.

Seems you're no ghost.

Did I fall in your trap again?

Yes, you just fell into hell.

What the hell happened?

It was all set up and you screwed it up!

You should at least consider that I'm in a spot.

If I get in way too deep,

there's a risk my cover will be blown.

And also...

Also what?

To be honest, if I have to extract information,

I need just enough money to bribe them.

But it's not like my business is thriving.

- And also... - All right.

If it's about money,

I'll give you as much as you want.

Oh, thank you, sir.

What do you think?

Where there's darkness, there's light.

Did you just laugh?

God, you're driving me mad!

You little prick,

I'll wipe that smile off your face.

My god,

you're laughing again!

Did you find out anything about him?

We're doing all we can, but he won't budge.

All he does is laugh,

making us go insane.

Is that so?

Look, there's no way out for you.

Honestly, when these two got me good,

I thought there actually was none.

What do you think?

As far as I see, you're smart, strong,

and you have balls, which is everything I admire.

Why don't we leave it all behind and join forces?

I thought about it as well.

And?

But you people treated me way too harshly.

So you're enraged, is that it?

Not that.

It's common courtesy to pay back what I got.

Quite a stickler.

Bring in the girl.

Oh, my.

You look well.

What did they try to force you to do?

Sign over power of attorney

to make me give up my store.

- Did you sign it? - I just couldn't do it.

You are such an amazing woman.

If I get out of here,

I'll get down on my knees and propose.

The right way would be

taking out the last part for your final words.

Should I?

You definitely should.

Tonight at dawn, you'll be killed.

Find a way to escape.

I just couldn't wait for dawn,

so I came by much earlier,

if you catch my drift.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The higher-ups ordered me

to kill you off at dawn,

when everyone's asleep.

But that smile on your face

chilled me to the bone.

So I came here early.

So?

That means, rather than dawn,

it is right now you'll be sent to hell.

No way.

Hell is just not a good fit for me.

You go instead.

You have a lot of nerve, I give you that.

Any last words?

If I have no choice,

I'd like a cigarette before I go.

Fine.

No, not that.

Even if death is around the corner,

we Koreans never beg.

Get me the cigarette you stole from me.

Fine.

Here it is.

We were planning to bury this with you.

Such a kind gesture on our part.

Wait.

Our ancestors always reciprocated their gratitude

in any shape or form they could.

And?

There's a bittersweet Korean cigarette in there,

and I'd like to share that with you.

Nice.

Just what I wanted to hear.

- Oh, my. - Are you okay?

Charlie!

I've given it a lot of thought,

but it only leads to one conclusion.

Someone on the inside let him go on purpose.

That's impossible, sir.

Jackson!

How many times have you disgraced us?

Thanks to you, we lost dozens of suppliers,

and all the other mob families, who were our allies,

have turned their back on us.

I feel totally responsible, sir.

Are you sticking your head to the ground

and begging to keep your finger?

Jackson, don't blame me.

This is not my will, but the organization's.

Mr. President.

A package for you has arrived.

Who is it from?

It doesn't have any name on it.

Isn't this a video tape?

It's from them.

Let's put it on.

What!

Next.

Han Sung-min!

And the people of the association.

Do you want to see her suffer more?

You only have two choices.

Either Han leaves on his own,

or the association kicks him out.

In case you disobey,

she will end up disabled

or be found dead.

Keep that in mind.

I wish to follow your will over mine.

We are running out of time.

Please tell me.

Please leave us.

You must leave.

You've worsened the situation.

Leave us.

Is this the end? Despite Na-young's struggle

and all your efforts to defend our right to live?

Was it all for nothing?

Nonsense!

He's saying we can't take any more affliction.

Mr. Han, you should leave for now.

We'll see what they do with Na-young after you leave,

And we will take action depending on that.

That's right.

All along, we've been dependent on the ability of a few individuals.

Now is the time for us to test our ability as a group.

Mr. Han,

please leave here for now and let us handle this.

Okay then.

It's been long since I felt such warm camaraderie pumping in me.

If that's your will, I'll leave at once.

I wish you the best.

Hello?

Anybody?

Sucker...

That's what you get for double-crossing.

Tokyu... Victory?

Tokyu Victory...

Tokyu Victory Shopping Center!

Taxi!

Wait, we are going the wrong way.

It's a bypass but it'll get you there faster.

No, just go through downtown!

I won't take the extra charges.

Hey, stop the car.

We are here. Now get out of the car.

What the!

Who the hell are you?

It was you who left the note in the basement, right?

How did you know?

I'm a pro.

I have to have keen eyes to survive.

How did you find out I deliver messages in the mall?

Oh, through Sergio.

He left a note as he was killed by your people for double-crossing.

Is that so?

Well, that's that.

How about we have some fun in a while?

Well...

I wish I were naive enough but...

I've already been through enough.

What?

What did you say?

I got kidnapped!

What!

Who did that?

Oh, this handsome Korean man.

Now, it's your turn.

So you can't tell me where their hideout is?

I'm a pro, too.

Telling you that will shorten my time on Earth.

Let's cut to the chase.

Since we are even now,

how about we meet in person?

That's not up to me to decide.

I bet.

Then I will give you three hours to decide.

Mr. Hwang...

How did we become such a joke to them?

Mr. Hwang.

Why won't you answer?

It seems we've finally met a very clever opponent.

Who are you complimenting in front of me?

I'm telling you that our organization is in danger.

That means we are helpless?

I've learned that one should never say 'helpless'.

Exactly.

That's the attitude I trust.

Be responsible and take care of this.

I've never avoided responsibility.

That's my man.

Since you know what to do, I will leave it all up to you.

Who is it?

It's Jackson, sir.

Mr. Duncan is here.

He may come in.

Please.

Oh, Mr. Duncan!

Mr. Hwang.

Thank you for coming. Must've been quite a trip.

Isn't it our virtue to be supportive even when we are rivals?

Thank you.

This way.

Sure.

So how did you get into this state of...

unavoidable confrontation?

I am ashamed.

He has hold of our agent who knows all our information.

We are about to be exposed.

I'd like to give you a present if you don't mind.

Thank you.

Wait,

an explosive?

That's right.

As long as you put it to good use,

it will solve your problems.

How so?

Put this on the kidnapped woman.

Okay.

Thank you.

Soon you will see your love, Han Sung-min.

There they come.

They tied her up from the back.

Keep your promise like a gentleman!

Gentleman?

Alright,

I'll let go of Barbara, send Na-young in return.

Deal. Now let go of her!

Bye.

Barbara!

Barbara, are you okay?

Na-young, you are here!

What!

Do you know what this is?

Your girl will explode in 15 minutes!

On your knees, surrender!

Or else I will blow her into pieces!

Now!

What do you say?

Answer!

What!

Mr. Hwang!

Sir,

we are in trouble!

Jackson ran away with the confidential files!

You trained him very well.

I only followed your instructions.

Is that everything?

Here are documents for gold bars stored in a Swiss bank

and a passbook for the secret account.

This is why you can never be a boss.

Barbara,

let's go.

Okay.

Barbara, how could you...?

At least be good in the afterlife.

Barbara!

You, betray me?

Na-young,

take her to the police.

Okay.

Is this...

Is this the end of our organization?

Hwang.

You should answer that question.

Right now!

Boss,

I believe that question is not just for me.

But for all of us.

Are you trying to avoid responsibility?

Not at all.

In fact, I will show you the responsibility I owe,

to you who brought us up in the name of the organization to this day.

Through what?

Through death will do.

Alright.

That's my right-hand man.

How...

How could you do this to me?

You are right, boss.

I know I'm not supposed to do this.

But this is the only way I can prove my love to you.

Hwang Du...

You,

you...

Boss,

to this point, you only lived

for the organization and the rules.

But never as a person.

Boss,

you asked me how our organization has come to this.

I will tell you why.

But first, get on your knees.

And bow your head to the ground.

Hwang Du...

Get me up...

And let me leave like a man.

No boss,

I can't let you die just like that.

That's how we survived under you,

and why the organization has collapsed.

The failure that you have to acknowledge.

Hwang Du!

Come no closer!

He's someone I need!

Get your foot off his head!

Just wait.

He's not even of your people.

And regardless of your need,

he is my boss whom I owe my loyalty to.

You still have your chance.

Turn yourself in.

No way.

It's the first time I know what to do ever since I chose this path.

And you are telling me to go to jail?

Hwang Du!

I'll give you one last chance.

This is the end of our conversation.

You all should go now.

Leave!

It's his car.

Wreck it!

Will you and this car be okay?

Though I look injured, I am totally fine inside.

Same as this car.

Let's hurry.

The End.
