IN-GWON AND HO-SIK

A GAMBLER AND A THUG, UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS NEIGHBORS

Step outside.

You damn bastard.

What's going on between you two?

There. I stepped outside.

What now, you bastard?

-Oh, my gosh! -You bastard!

-Stop it! -You asshole! Come here, you bastard!

You scum!

Damn you!

Come here!

-Oh, gosh! -My goodness!

Hey.

-You bastard. -Someone, stop him!

-Stop it. -Damn it.

-Come here! -Gosh!

-Oh, no! -Oh, dear!

You bastard!

-Stop it! -Hey! Let go!

Let me go!

-Hey! -My gosh!

Hey!

That damn lunatic.

You little…

Hey, what's all that ruckus about?

Damn it.

Be careful, Captain!

Why is it so noisy?

Thankfully, Jeong-jun is on his way.

Move aside! Move!

-You asshole. -Calm down!

-Hey. -Are you okay?

-I'll kill you! Let me go! -Calm down.

I'll kill him and go to jail if I have to.

Hey! Your daughter was the one

who slept with my son and ruined his life.

Was it wrong of me to want an abortion for both of their sakes?

-You-- -Then will you have the baby?

That's enough.

Look at you, all beaten up.

Get up.

Is that all you've got, you thug?

I'm a sundae vendor, not a thug!

You failed to raise your son properly.

I raised Yeong-ju so well!

I was very proud of her!

My girl…

Her life is ruined thanks to your son, you thug!

Stop calling me a thug!

-I'll kill you! -Goodness!

How dare you wield a knife at me? Fine. Stab me.

Stab me, you bastard!

Do you even know how to stab someone?

No, I don't!

What did you say? Take her to a good hospital?

How could you say that?

Do you think I need your money to take her to a hospital, you asshole?

If you're a true father and a man,

you must do whatever it takes and take responsibility.

She better gets that abortion. Got that?

-If not, I'll make her-- -That's enough!

You too!

They're all listening!

I don't give a damn!

My life is in the gutter anyway!

Hey, that's enough. Leave!

Stop causing a scene and leave!

-You better not touch Yeong-ju! -Go.

Or I'll kill you!

-Go! -What's this about?

Yeong-ju is pregnant?

And Hyeon is the father?

Why have those two fallen apart?

They used to be so close.

Goodness, I can't believe this.

He got beaten to a pulp.

Let go of me.

I'll drop you off. Let's go to my car.

I'm fine.

Just close my store for the day and apologize to the old ladies for me.

Let's grab a drink next time.

You know I understand you, right?

IN-GWON AND HO-SIK 2

-Delivery. -Coming.

MINJEONG TAILOR SHOP JJAJANG 1, JJAMPPONG 1

What are you doing in the dark?

What happened to your face?

Nothing much.

I tripped while drunk.

Sit down.

JOEUN BANK SINYANG BANK

One is a savings account

that I made for your tuition and rent

once you go to Seoul.

You can withdraw 70 million won at once.

The other one

is for buying a fishing boat

once you go to Seoul

and I quit work.

It's worth 70 million won,

but there's only half right now.

SAVINGS ACCOUNT BANG YEONG-JU

I had saved up

every little penny for that.

By next month, I'll pay back all of Eun-hui's money.

This house

and all that money

are yours.

And?

Get an abortion.

Then go live in Seoul.

You just don't know.

But you'll be just fine after the abortion.

And I'll be fine with the baby too.

If you don't have the baby,

you'd be able to become a professor, a hospital director,

or anything else you've dreamed of. So why?

-Why do you want to settle here? -I don't.

I'm still going to Seoul National University.

Raising a baby is no joke!

I suffered one too many headaches while raising you

and have shed enough tears to fill up that sea.

I won't talk anymore.

Get rid of that baggage.

What did you say?

"Baggage"?

Yes.

Baggage.

If my baby is baggage…

then I must be one

to you as well.

Of course.

I suffered every day while raising you.

So I can't make you do the same.

I'm being like this

-all because of-- -Because of me?

You're wrong.

This is all for your sake.

Had I not existed…

Had this baggage not existed,

you'd be enjoying the rest of your life, fishing on your boat.

Right?

Yes.

So?

Do I not deserve that kind of a lifestyle?

Must you suck me dry

until the very end to be satisfied?

I don't want to hear it.

Make your decision.

Is it me or that baggage?

If it's the latter,

get out because I don't want to see you anymore.

Fine.

I'll leave.

Fine, just leave. Get out!

But if you go through that door,

I will cut ties with you for good.

Understand?

You must be happy

since your baggage chose to leave.

Goodbye.

Are you alive?

DONG-SEOK

Yes.

All right, then.

Hey, how could you pack and leave just because you fought

with your dad?

-He didn't stop me. -Jeez.

It's late, so spend the night here and leave tomorrow.

I'll get in trouble if they know that a minor stayed here.

Gosh.

Hyeon?

-Why are you here? -Hello.

Can I see Yeong-ju for just ten minutes?

Look at you two.

Just ten minutes.

-Okay. -Go in.

Which one do you want?

The fruit.

Keep this. It's the money I earned today.

I'll spend it wisely.

Are you sick?

You're sweating.

I have a cold.

It says online not to take medication during pregnancy.

I'm sure there must be medicine that pregnant women can have.

What's wrong?

You do know

that we're disappointing our dads

and hurting them a lot, don't you?

That's why from now on,

we should…

love,

trust,

and treat each other better.

We must be happy.

But Yeong-ju.

You should go back home.

I don't think you should be here.

If the owner here calls my dad,

I know he'll come and pick me up no matter what time. I know him.

He was too furious to stop me from leaving.

But he'll ultimately give in.

He'll get mad if he sees you here, so you should go.

-I'll take you back home. -That'll mean I gave up.

Then I'll have to get an abortion.

I'm going to wait here until he comes.

I'm going to study, so go.

Do you have

a death wish or something?

You can hit me.

But please bring Yeong-ju back home, sir.

I mean…

-Father. -You little…

My feelings are sincere.

I truly care for her and love her.

If you really loved and cared for her,

how could you make her pregnant?

You scumbag! You bastard!

I'm sorry.

Yeong-ju is currently at Badang Motel.

But she has a cold.

Sir. Mr. Bang.

Father.

-Please bring her home-- -I wondered what this noise was.

But it was you attacking my son.

Let go of him.

He's my son.

If anyone should beat him, it's me.

Let him go if you want to stay alive.

You…

You better tell her.

Tell her she won't get her way this time.

Tell her I won't give in this time around.

You son of a gun.

Kneel.

Your school and academy called.

They said you didn't show up today.

-So why are you home so late? -I went to work.

Don't pick up when the school calls.

They'll automatically drop me out.

And the academy fee?

Did you give it to Yeong-ju?

I spent it myself.

Jeez.

Damn it.

You abandoned your duties as a student.

And you stole my money.

Hey.

Hey.

Don't trust women. Okay?

Take your mom for example.

In the end, she abandoned you.

It was for her own sake, you bastard.

Get your facts straight.

Mom never abandoned me.

-She abandoned you. -How dare you?

-What did you say? -She never abandoned me.

I let her go.

What a load of bullshit.

Hey!

Be a man and acknowledge the truth!

Both you and I were abandoned by her! Got that?

Don't trust women! Yeong-ju will ultimately abandon you too.

You're a high school dropout.

Why would she live with a guy like you?

She may be head over heels for you right now.

But she will abandon you in the end, you scumbag.

You better go to school tomorrow.

If not, I will seriously kill you.

Hello, Ok-dong.

Goodness.

-Where is he going? -Him?

-He's going to the toilet. -I see.

Why are you here? We're going to the tangerine storehouse.

Shouldn't you go to school?

He dropped out.

That man posted about this part-time job.

And he signed up.

Hyeon is going to work and treat Yeong-ju to some good food.

Goodness. This won't be enough.

Hyeon, did you really sleep with her?

I'm surprised you even knew what that meant.

Goodness. Both of your parents must be devastated.

That's enough.

Don't meddle in other people's affairs.

What about Yeong-ju? Did she drop out of school too?

No.

Going to school while pregnant won't be easy.

Have a bowl of soup.

What is it?

Hey, In-gwon.

I called to tell you something.

Ho-sik's daughter, Yeong-ju,

has been staying at our motel since yesterday.

She's refusing to go home.

And Ho-sik isn't picking up or replying to my texts either.

So I called you out of frustration.

Can you--

Did Hyeon go there too?

What?

Well, for just a while.

For about ten minutes.

Damn it.

You're acting out, aren't you?

Then I'll do the same.

-Can we get some ice too? -Sure.

-Me too. -Okay.

Mr. Oh's ice has melted.

Mr. Bang's ice is the best.

BANG HO-SIK

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

Darn it.

He should still work

even if he's upset. Does he want to starve…

Hey.

I get that you were furious, but how could you beat him up?

Never mind. Get back to work.

Pick up your phone.

I get that you're upset about Yeong-ju, but you should still accept orders.

Did she go to school?

She left the house.

I understand that you're upset, but you should just give in.

Never mind.

Everyone's talking about Yeong-ju, aren't they?

They're having a blast.

I was ridiculed

for bringing Yeong-ju to work as a baby.

Now, she'll be ridiculed instead.

You should still go look for her.

What for?

Give her a week, and she'll know how tough it is to live in this world.

She'll come home on her own.

I will never give in this time around.

I'd agree with you had she not been pregnant.

But what can you do now that she is?

Never mind.

Never mind.

Never mind.

Never mind…

Hey, but you shouldn't neglect your work as an ice seller.

I'll leave you to it

if suffering helps you find an answer.

Hyeon, the cold got worse.

I went to school,

but I'm skipping the academy and going back to the motel.

-That's good. -Take a look at this.

-Oh, dear! -Goodness.

-What? -What's going on?

Goodness, are you hurt?

Look at this mess.

Look at him.

HYEON, THE COLD GOT WORSE

Yeong-ju.

Go to the hospital if you're that sick.

It's not that bad.

Maybe it's because I'm not feeling well,

but I miss you.

Come see me after your part-time job.

Yeong-ju, I'm worried about you.

Just go home. Okay? Or go to the hospital.

What if it's not a cold?

I know. This is just a cold.

If that's all you're going to say, I'm going to stop texting you.

Okay. I'm almost done. I'll be there soon.

Do you need help?

No.

Let's go.

I'm okay. I can carry it.

Are you

pregnant?

Can I touch your belly?

I'm sorry.

You can touch it.

Congratulations.

My baby.

I'm happy…

that you're mine.

Hyeon, is that money for Yeong-ju?

-Is it? -Really?

What's so funny? Men his age became dads back in the day.

-Good work. -Thank you.

Hyeon, get in.

I'm not going home.

-Bang Family Ice. -Mr. Bang.

Yeong-ju is sick.

But she won't go to the hospital. Please help.

She won't listen to me.

BADANG MOTEL

RECEPTION

Goodness.

-Why are you here? -Where's Yeong-ju?

It's Room 301.

In-gwon.

Is that you, Hyeon?

Come out.

Yeong-ju.

I'm going to save you and Hyeon from ruining your lives.

Let's go to the hospital.

No, please don't do this.

You'll only hurt yourself.

I'm heartbroken too, but this isn't right.

Both you and Hyeon have bright futures ahead of you. Follow me.

Mr. Jung.

I'm not soft like your father.

-Mr. Jung! -Follow me.

-Mr. Jung. -Come on.

Mr. Jung…

-You're scaring me. -Come on!

Please don't do this! I can't go to the hospital!

Just follow me.

Let her go.

Move, you bastard.

Don't be so ignorant.

Just let her go!

"Ignorant"?

Fine.

Your father is an ignorant thug.

So?

What will you do about it?

Will you have the baby and ruin your life?

What are you looking at?

Get lost, you bastard. Don't embarrass me.

Hyeon.

Hyeon.

Hyeon…

Let go of her.

I said, let go!

You go ahead.

Do I embarrass you?

You've always been…

an embarrassment…

to me.

What?

I should have left with Mom.

I pitied you, so I didn't.

I won't be your son anymore.

I can't do it anymore!

You bastard.

Come here!

Come here, you little brat!

Bring Yeong-ju here!

I'm taking her to the hospital!

You bastard!

What did you do to my daughter?

Why do you care? I told her to get an abortion.

You bastard!

You bastard! How dare you?

You asshole!

Unbelievable.

Why are you embarrassing yourselves?

You're grown-ups.

Get your reports written and go home.

Jeez.

So tell me.

Are you really going to let her keep the baby?

That's none of your business.

So keep your soft fists to yourself.

You little…

I won't allow anyone to touch my baby girl.

-Should I beat you up again? -Hey.

Had you not cheated and bitten my ear, you would've been long dead and gone.

Jeez, that little…

You're a lousy thug who's an embarrassment to his own son.

You see,

this is nothing

compared to what you did.

Hey.

Fine.

Let me hear it. Okay?

Why do you hate me so much? Tell me.

Didn't I look out for you from middle school to high school?

Whenever the other students hit you, I retaliated for you.

I even got hit for you at times.

Since we're on the subject, tell me.

Didn't you always gamble away the money I lent you?

Even after I told you to quit gambling.

But every time, you never listened.

So what did I do so wrong?

Did I have an affair with your wife? What was it?

Tell me!

"Does it feel nice

to use your daughter for money?"

"You dirt-poor loser."

The day my wife left,

I visited you with Yeong-ju and asked for some money to buy food.

And that's what you said to me

in front of my baby girl.

Have you forgotten?

Because I could never forget that.

You were…

the only one I could rely on.

But you called me dirt-poor

in front of her.

You said I made her beg for money.

I wanted you to come to your senses.

You kept losing money.

Then you wanted to be a thug like I was.

Also,

"dirt-poor loser" wasn't that harsh of a word.

Back then, you and I were close enough to call each other by all kinds of names.

"Dirt-poor loser" can hardly be called offensive.

You bastard.

But I was actually poor.

I was really dirt-poor.

I threw your money on the ground.

Then I borrowed money from Eun-hui…

who had left me for being poor.

Can you imagine how I felt?

How can I?

Damn it…

How did it feel to get beaten by your own son?

Didn't it kill you?

That was exactly…

how I felt.

Jeong-jun!

Yes?

I have one question.

Is Yeong-ok's mother really an artist?

Come to your senses.

I spent millions of won on buying her drinks.

That's the type of girl she is.

She seduces men with her smile and makes them pay for her drinks.

And you're no exception, so be careful.

Are you aware

that Yeong-ok has been lying to everyone?

If not, take note of this.

We're going to kick her out.

She must have a man. She gets a call from someone every day.

Why is Yeong-ok's phone always ringing?

COULD I LOVE…

Could I love a liar?

No.

THEN WHAT…

Then what should I do?

YEONG-OK

I miss you.

What about you, Captain? Don't you miss me?

I do.

Do you want to go on a trip?

Oh, my goodness!

What is it?

Goodness.

We had nowhere to go.

Oh, no.

Ma'am, please let us spend the night here.

-Hey! Stop right there! -Move!

-Move! -Goodness!

-Hey! -In-gwon.

-Come here! -Damn it!

-You bastard! -In-gwon!

-Oh, no! -Call 911!

Get your facts straight.

Mom never abandoned me.

She abandoned you.

Mother passed away.

I'm leaving you.

She wanted

to tell you something.

She doesn't want you to be an embarrassment to your son.

I said, let go!

Do I embarrass you?

You've always been an embarrassment…

to me.

You bastard.

-I won't be your son anymore. -You little…

I can't do it anymore!

Just let her have it. Don't be so cheap.

Don't take back what you just gave.

Gosh.

How wonderful.

I can't believe such young kids are becoming parents.

I'm proud of you.

Me too.

You told your father that you're here, right?

Go home when he comes.

Did you tell In-gwon that Hyeon was here?

I just apologized and hung up.

What was that?

What?

Hey!

What happened? Hey, wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up, will you?

In-gwon!

Call an ambulance!

He's up.

-You fainted. -You're terminally ill.

It's acute diabetes.

Goodness. Do you not get checkups?

I'm still young.

"Still young," my foot.

You really need to take care of yourself.

Otherwise, you'll get complications like arterial embolisms.

You'll have to cut off the ends of your limbs.

Get your IV drip, and I'll give you medicine for today.

-But you come back for proper treatment. -Fine, whatever.

You need to have that wound on your ear looked into.

Water.

Jeez.

Look at you ordering me around.

How did I get here?

The last thing I remember is coming down the stairs.

Ho-sik carried you here.

Don't lie. He wouldn't do that.

Exactly. Why did he do that?

He should've just let you die.

Why did he save you?

Hey.

You and Ho-sik are the only friends I have.

Can you please stop fighting?

We're not your only friends.

You have Mi-ran.

Don't talk about her.

Take care of yourself. Pay me back before you die.

I'm going to work now.

What are you doing?

I need to boil sundae today.

Unbelievable.

Thanks.

Thank Ho-sik instead.

Gosh.

Hyeon.

Why is your father so stubborn?

We've decided to respect the students' rights.

We'll let Yeong-ju and Hyeon remain in school.

She can still come even when she's pregnant.

So I hope you can forgive her too.

Is that really it?

Are you going to leave without saying anything to me?

I'll find you a place.

You can live there…

with Hyeon.

Or with your baby.

Do as you please.

Why can't you understand me when my teachers and friends can?

Why?

Are you happy?

Since the teachers, your friends, Hyeon,

and your baby are all on your side,

does that make you happy?

Dad.

Just say yes.

You can't always

have everything your way…

in life.

That's life.

I'll never say that I was wrong.

I'll never say that this baby was a mistake.

But still,

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry for making you lonely.

I'm all that you have.

I'm so sorry that I left you all alone.

But Dad.

I feel so alone too.

I have Hyeon and the baby.

But I don't have you.

Gosh.

You destroyed my motorcycle while on delivery?

What is wrong with you?

You better pay for the damages!

This is all I have. I'm sorry.

Just go. Leave.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE CUISINE HWASEOKJANG

BAEKJI REAL ESTATE AGENCY

All right.

Please hurry up and call me if you want the house.

I will.

ABANG SUNDAE

ABANG SUNDAE

Don't bother me.

Get out.

Ms. Jung told me that you had diabetes.

She said you refused treatment.

-What's it to you? -Diabetes is a serious illness.

What if all your wounds get infected?

Then I'll just die.

Dad!

Was I always…

an embarrassment to you?

Let me hear it.

Why were you embarrassed?

Why?

Because I'm ugly?

That's not my fault.

Or is it because

I boil pig heads

and intestines here?

No.

I wanted to be a father you could be proud of.

I wanted to raise you well.

That's why I spent every single day working.

I worked hard cleaning pig intestines

smelling all that blood.

You see,

I was nothing but a thug to your grandma.

So I have nothing to say to her.

And that's why

I didn't stop your mom from leaving me.

But I've done

nothing shameful

in front of you.

You're the only thing I have.

And you've always made me so proud.

And you're telling me that I was an embarrassment to you?

And you refuse to be my son anymore?

Fine, you bastard.

I don't want to see you ever again!

I'm so sorry, Dad.

I'm sorry…

I'm sorry, Dad…

I'm sorry…

How could you say that?

I…

I thought if I acted out…

he would take care of me.

I asked you to go on a trip with me, but why haven't you replied?

-Are you playing hard to get? -Yes.

You're not going to tell me some lie

like, "you were the only woman in my life," are you?

Smile. A big smile.

How is it?

She hasn't come here in three days.

-Just let me be! -And what? Let you die?

Yes!

Why did you do that to me?
