The Eok-jo, right?

You're sure?

Don't let them die out there!

Did they find my father?

They did.

Don't worry!

We've got great news, everyone!

Are they all safe?

Man-sik... stop it and go.

Just hold on for a IittIe Ionger!

Sons of bitches! You're not gonna help?

Man-sik!

Yes?

PIease take care of Yeon-hee for me, okay?

Don't say that. l'm getting you out of here.

Get out of here. Hurry.

Let's go now!

Bring it up!

The tsunami has killed thousands in Southeast Asia.

Here's more from our correspondent.

People evacuate as giant waves rush into the coastal areas.

After the waves struck, the coast was left with ruins and corpses.

At 10 p.m., an earthquake measuring 8.9 struck near Sumatra lsland.

The following tidal waves caused damage in lndia, Sri Lanka...

The earthquake in Japan struck mostly on the east side,

but now it's being felt more frequently in the west, cIose to our border.

Specialists say Korea is no longer an earthquake safety zone.

Written and Directed by JK YOUN

C'mon, son. Sing. One, two, three.

Playing is always fun. Gather up, friends!

Attaboy, Seung-hyun!

lt's always fun.

Yeon-hee! l'm starving!

- UncIe... - Seung-hyun, here we go.

Pulling out his tooth?

Sorry, son. l won't do it.

- Where's Yeon-hee? - On deIiveries!

Promise!

Man-sik! Come out now!

What?

- Yeon-hee! - What about Yeon-hee?

Come out! Hurry!

Calm down!

I toId you not to sell here!

l told you very clearly!

Step aside!

Where do you get off trying to sell fish

in front of someone else's seafood restaurant?

You're right.

What are you doing? Aren't you gonna apologize?

- You got nothing to say? - She's got nothing.

- You've got nothing to say for yourself? - No, nothing.

Orphaned children all act the same.

Don't talk that way.

How dare you look at me Iike that?

Stop glaring at her.

What? You know l'm right!

When did l ever act like that?

- Stop taIking back! - What did you just say?

Did you ever support me when my parents died?

What?

This bitch just doesn't get it. Say it again!

Stop it, Mom!

Yeon-hee, calm down!

Did you allow her to seII here?

You bastard!

You stupid fool!

You're the chief of the Prosperity Association!

Why do you always side with her?

That's why she acts Iike this!

That's not it.

What do you mean, "that's not it"?

l'm not gonna put up with this anymore!

- Let's see this to the end. - Mom! Stop it!

- Sit! - Everyone, sit down!

l told you not to do that around the arcade.

lf people see you setting up shop in front of their business,

how do you think it affects my reputation?

Anyhow, you should show your eIders some respect.

Your mom should know how to behave, too!

Yeah, l know... but...

even though l wanna give you every opportunity...

l never asked for any favors.

l didn't mean it.

Stubborn girl.

Like you representatives all know,

Haeundae is already a world-class resort area.

lt doesn't make sense not to have...

a singIe maII in a place like...

Hey, you bastard! You already made tons of money.

Now you want to destroy this pIace!

Let's move on to the next block.

Let go, you damn jerk!

Jerk!

Prof. Kim continues with his talk of a mega-tsunami,

but can we get more specific information?

Before we do that, you'd better explain your tsunami jargon.

Would you mind refraining from using the term "mega-tsunami"?

lt makes everyone very uneasy.

ln your hypothetical scenario,

a large chunk of an island breaks off

into the sea, causing a tidal wave of unprecedented proportions.

Do you think this is reaIIy possibIe?

l'm suggesting that because there's a possibility.

Didn't you see what happened in Southeast Asia and China?

Do natural disasters warn us that they are coming?

Some say that Korea is in an earthquake safety zone.

How many earthquakes above 3.0 do you think we have each year?

An average of more than 30!

ls that what you call an earthquake safety zone?

Other experts say that the possibility is very faint.

But you insist there's a strong possibility of such an occurrence!

All l'm saying

is that we should at least form a committee!

Can't you understand what l'm saying?

You should've just married your earthquakes, not me.

When did you get back in the country?

Do you actually have any interest in me?

When did you get here?

Last year.

You couId've at least called.

Oh, what? You've got no hands?

- You haven't changed a bit. - You've got me beat.

Heard you're in charge of the Haeundae Cultural Expo.

You reaIIy are a competent person.

- How's Ji-min? - Now you ask!

She'll be in third grade next year.

Mommy!

Ji-min!

Who's that?

This is a professor that Mommy knows. Say hi.

Hello.

Ji-min, go ahead and wait in the car with Hae-chan.

Bye.

He's just someone that l met back in America.

We're not together or anything.

l didn't tell her about you. lt's better that way.

There's no need to confuse her. Hope you understand.

l'd better get going.

- Take care of yourself. - Okay.

Freak!

You're embarrassing us.

Why don't you just study at home

instead of tagging along on our vacation?

Why didn't you just study harder on your second try, Ioser?

People who can't study always act like that.

Stop your nagging!

Get rid of the book now! Guys aren't approaching us.

That's too hot.

Stop posing like that, dork! Get back here!

How can you be so senseless?

Can't you see the guys checking me out?

- Who? - l'm done!

Is it just the three of you?

What do you think? ls this worth your time?

What number am l?

lf you count up all the girls that have been on this yacht before me.

You're the first...

to be so stuck up and haughty on my yacht!

Well, you're not so polite yourself.

Shut up, bitch!

Do you wanna do a round of shots?

Nobody better break it up.

A real man can never be shy about anything.

Having guts wiII get you through life.

- Having what? - Guts!

That's right, my boy. Guts.

Like a badass spirit.

- What kind of spirit? - Badass spirit!

That's right.

From now on, you do what l say.

- First, l want you to sing! - Huh?

You don't know any songs? A nursery rhyme or something.

l don't know any.

Come on, you rascal! Just sing anything!

- Pororo. - What's that?

A cartoon.

All right, that's good.

One, two, three, four.

Playtime is the best time.

- Gather up your friends. - Louder!

It's aIways so much fun.

Trickster, Pororo.

Louder!

- Mommy! - All right, now l could go crazy.

Told you, Mommy's busy.

- Are you happy now? - Thank you, Mom.

Help!

Boy, l feel dizzy.

Help!

Somebody!

Hold tight!

Help...!

Oh!

Help!

Let go!

- Let go of me! - Help!

You're crazy!

What are you doing? Don't!

Stop! Stop!

What a crazy bitch!

Because you kept grabbing my head...

- Who are you? - Huh?

Yeon-hee!

What's all this?

There were some veggies left at the house.

- Where can l put this? - l don't need this much.

- Just take it. - Here.

Wait, l'll get you something to drink.

- Was Seung-hyun here? - Yeah.

What's that? Did Seung-hyun draw that?

Looks Iike it. Where is he anyway?

He was gone when l got back. I thought he went home.

He didn't show up at the house.

Then where did he go?

Hello.

The police station?

You'd betterjust tell us straight, you scumbag.

I just tried to make a little money on the side!

Do l look like a fraud?

Stop crying and tell him the truth!

ls he really your uncle?

He said it was true.

He's my brother's son, like l told you!

Seung-hyun!

Daddy!

Seung-hyun! Are you okay? Who did this to you?

You son of a bitch!

How could you do that to a child?

Man-sik!

My head, my head!

- Stop it! - You can't do that here.

Kick his ass outside if you want to.

How could you do this?

All l'm saying is that he's a bastard!

l've known it since we were young!

- Eat up! - Okay.

Maybe it's because he's my boy... but take a look at him!

Whenever he takes a test,

he always gets a perfect score.

Just to make others feeI better, he should at least get one wrong.

He still needs to learn his manners.

Learn some manners, okay?

Yeon-hee! l'm starved!

- UncIe! - Come inside.

- You finished this late? - Yeah.

- Haven't eaten yet, have you? - No, give me anything.

Hey.

Where was l again?

That l have no manners.

That's right! You've got no manners.

What do we call an iII-mannered boy?

"You little scoundrel."

Why don't you take it easy with the aIcohoI?

ls that your son?

He's handsome. Looks a lot like his mother.

She's not my mom.

She's my older sister and he's my uncle!

My mom left us.

Doctor!

There's been another earthquake on the seabed.

- Hmm? - An earthquake on the sea floor!

- Where? - 35 km off of the west coast of Hokkaido.

- lntensity? - 3.6.

- Depth? - An estimated 30 km.

Since it's quiet in Japan, it's unlikely there'll be a tidal wave.

- But something's strange. - What?

The epicenter's been moving toward us since the beginning of this year.

Under the sea near Tsushima lsland

l'm sorry to bother you with this...

No, it's okay.

I trust you, Congressman Park.

l'll go ahead and do aII that I can.

But don't think that everything is settled just yet.

Sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don't.

Am l right?

Let's get going.

You got everything together aII right?

Yes, l put it in the trunk.

Crazy bastard!

"Sometimes things don't work out"?

There'II be no approvaI for the Haeundae Golden Beach, right?

If that's approved we're not going to just watch.

You should ask the construction division about that.

Don't worry.

The ward head swore on his position.

And you beIieve that? Choi Eok-jo's not a pushover.

l told you not to talk about that guy!

Bottle's empty.

Yeon-hee, bring some more drinks.

That's all there is.

Again? You need to run your business right.

- Keep some in stock. - Shut up, you jerk!

l'll buy some and be back in a flash!

No, no, you stay here. l'll go and borrow some.

Sit, sit.

Sit down, man!

Hey, isn't it about time you two Iive together?

lt's easy to see, so stop denying it.

When her father died, he left her under your care.

Knock it off!

- Stop talking and just drink. - Why?

How could you say that to someone who has a wife?

What do you mean, wife? Shit!

lt was just a one-night stand. She doesn't deserve it.

Even so, she gave him Seung-hyun!

So what? Right after his birth, she ran off with his money.

Hey! l told you to stop!

Every time someone talks about his wife, he gets defensive.

To be frank, your wife...

l said, shut up!

Sit down.

What kind of grades does your son get?

Sit down, man!

My son's a moron, your son's a genius, you must be fucking proud.

Why are you being like this? Stop acting weird!

You're having a grand old time.

You! Give me back the plates that you borrowed.

l need them too.

I'II return them as soon as these gentlemen leave.

What are you talking about?

Our place is full of customers. l need them now!

You've got to have a sense of dignity before doing business.

Mom, pIease. The chief is here.

She said she'll return them as soon as we're done.

Crazy fooI! Shut your mouth!

Okay, l got it. Let's go.

Chief, Iet's move to the restaurant up there.

l'm all right...

Are you happy now?

Yeah, l am. You jerk!

- Sorry about that. - It's too much.

- You serving dinner? - Of course. Have a seat!

What's good here?

Pollock soup's fresh today. Wanna try that?

Give me some of that. And a plate of raw fish too.

Got it.

Don't make faces. You aren't dying from eating here.

Of aII the restaurants, why does it have to be here?

- Light! - Here.

Busan Galmaegi

What's wrong with you today?

Don't hoId it aII in, just tell me what's going on.

l'll fix everything for you.

ls it because you're lonely at night?

What do you think of Man-sik?

Man-sik?

- Choi Man-sik? - Yes.

- He's terrible. - Why?

He Ieaves a bad impression. And, on top of that, his eyes slant.

And your eyes are that great?

Enough.

When he was younger, he was really handsome.

Handsome? Can you see out of those eyes?

Whoo!

Are you insane? Why do l have to come with you?

You've been eating on the house. Now it's time to pay the price!

ls this why you fed me?

- I toId you I'm paying. - Paying what? Ten bucks?

Do you think money just grows on trees...?

You're reaIIy out of your mind, aren't you?

Stop messing around. We're leaving.

Christ!

Yeon-hee!

Yeah?

Wanna go see a baseball game later?

- BasebaII? - Right, the Giants game.

I'm going with peopIe from the commerce association.

You can join and get to know everyone.

No, l'm fine.

- l'll go! What time is it? - You just shut up.

How fortunate to get to see a baseball game.

Yeon-hee! Come with me!

He's lost it.

Please!

Yeon-hee!

Jerk!

Come on!

You came here to get drunk?

You're supposed to drink in these kinds of pIaces.

- You want some? - No!

- You son of a bitch! - Are you insane?

Lotte is down 2 to 1 in the 5th.

It's one out, a runner at first, and the number 4 batter, Lee, is in the box.

He doesn't look like he's in good condition today.

ln the first inning, he struck out, and in the third he hit into a doubIe pIay.

Lee Dae-ho hits the ball, Park catches it reaching first base.

He's out.

Double play again.

What the hell!

ls it that hard to hit like this?

This is how many today?

What happened to your lips?

This?

lt's nothing.

Well, it can't be nothing...

Give it to me straight.

Who's this crazy girl who sucked on your face?

You're not gonna tell us?

l'm not crazy, aII right?

- Where's your dad? - Over there!

Hey, Mr. Double Play!

Lee Dae-ho!

Hey! Dae-ho!

Lee Dae-ho! You loser!

Hey, you son of a bitch!

You laughed?

Are you insane? Stop it now!

Damn! He's not gonna be easy to brush off.

As a pair, they're out of control.

Throw to first base! He's out.

lt's the third time Lee Dae-ho is caught in a doubIe pIay.

Consider yourself lucky l came in person and didn't just sue you instead.

- You understand? - No. What do you mean?

Did you think you could get away with this?

You see this?

Don't you think you should feel responsible for my eye?

How are you going to compensate me?

Compensation...?

- How much you get per life? - What?

Don't they pay you by the person?

We get a salary.

Then how much do you make per month?

About $1 ,000.

- Just $1 ,000? - Yeah.

That's how much they pay for you to save people's lives?

Well, l can't say...

Excuse me.

Yes, this is Choi Hyung-sik.

Yes, sir, l will return to base immediately.

Hello.

Your employee won't be leaving

because he's made some commotion.

How the hell do you train these guys?

Jesus, you are not allowed to... Hello?

You pig! Son of a bitch!

You laughed?

Garcia! Garcia!

You son of a bitch!

Lee Dae-ho!

Wow, it's breathtaking!

What did you say the name of this place is?

l-gi-dae!

I-gi-dae? ls that someone's name?

lt's an interesting name.

lt's not a person's name.

Two geishas embraced an enemy general and threw themselves

into the water beIow with them. That's why.

So?

"I" means "two" and "Gi" means "Geisha"!

So?

"l" is "two", "gi" is "geisha"! Two geishas.

- ls it that hard to understand? - Yes?

Where are you? Who are you with?

Me? With the Prince of the Sea!

You mean the comedian Park Myung-soo?

- ls he in Busan now? - ldiot.

Hey, Joon-ha is pissed off. He won't hang out with us.

Get your ass over here, now!

No! l'm going to stay here and go back tomorrow.

What?

Does the idea of sleeping with me make your heart race?

You're ridiculous.

Don't get carried away! l'm gonna go back later!

l know. l thought so.

Your face turned red.

lt's because l'm drinking. lt happens.

You know what?

You're very good-looking.

But when you open your mouth, your accent ruins everything.

Actually, l can speak without an assent.

lt's not "assent."

lt's "accent", got it?

Do you usuaIIy suck at talking?

Hey, Dae-ho!

You ain't a number 4 batter.

You make double play records today?

What are you looking at?

You think you're a batter? Go to heII, asshoIe!

You fucking swine!

Hey, you!

Can't stand this anymore!

You just wait. l'm gonna kill you.

CaIm down. Take it easy.

A man in the audience is making a commotion.

I think he's had too much to drink.

There's a child watching all this. lt sets a bad example.

Korean basebaII cuIture has made such progress

and we don't appreciate rowdy audience members.

Neither do the Giants fans.

Man-sik, you insane?

Bring me Lee Dae-ho right now!

He'll get out soon. Don't worry!

Thank you so much!

l'm sorry to bother you with this.

lt's no problem.

We've all got to look out for each other.

Dae-ho's coming to see me!

Man-sik, is that you?

You moron! Why the hell would he come here?

You idiot!

- Mom! - l'm not your mom anymore.

You'll be the death of me, boy!

Do l still have to wipe your ass too?

Don't talk like that in front of my friends.

lf you like baseball that much, shut down the restaurant!

Starting tomorrow, just play ball then!

Mom, you don't know a thing.

We're Busan citizens, aren't we?

A Giants' victory should be more important than our lives.

Don't you know how to bow to your uncle?

You son of a dog!

Get out of here!

What?

- Grow up! - lt hurts!

lt really hurts!

Why you'd have to kick that dog?

My skin's going to peeI off.

- lt's food poisoning. - What?

- You said he was fine before dinner, right? - Right.

- What did you guys have for dinner? - Raw fish?

Anyways, he's one major human fuck-up.

lf l had a gun, l'd have shot him on the spot.

Hey, get me some food.

Go to your own house and eat! What am l, your wife?

Where am l gonna go eat?

From now on, don't borrow from anyone.

And if you lend these to someone else, l'll be pissed.

- What's this? - Give it back to me!

- That crazy fuck! - Give it back!

- Come with us! - What are you doing?

You're in big trouble.

Do you know who l am?

How am l supposed to know that?

Hey!

What do you think you're doing?

You know what's the worst thing in the worId?

lt's those bastards who play with their food.

You need to get a proper taste of Iife in a ceII.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Hey, son of a bitch!

ShouIdn't get someone when they're off-guard.

Crazy son of a bitch. Are you out of your mind?

Dong-choon!

Stop it!

- Follow me. - Yeon-hee!

Hyung-sik!

What's this?

You son of a bitch

- Don't! - Get up you bastards!

Why the fuck are you drunk and stirring up shit? I'II beat you to death!

Will you quiet down?

You should learn to handle your drink.

Do you have any stomach medicine around?

Check the drawer.

Man-sik!

- We've got a big problem! - What is it?

It's Hyung-sik and Yeon-hee!

- What? - Come on! Hurry!

They're in a fight.

- l'm the one who got attacked! - AII right.

Don't you see the blood? CaII the chief of poIice!

Let's just go to the station and sort it out there!

l didn't fight back!

Open up!

- Man-sik! - What's going on here?

Bro!

- He made the report. - What report?

Yeon-hee sold him spoiled food and Hyung-sik beat him up.

- lt's hard to know exactly what happened. - Look at my eyes, bastard!

Can't we just settle it here?

When a report's been made, we've got to go to the station.

- Can't we work this out? - No!

Stop the car!

Are you sick or something?

l'm dying!

- Hang in there! - l'm dying, man!

Hold on, we're almost there.

- Where should l put him down? - Where's he hurt?

- lt's food poisoning. - What did he eat?

- Shampoo! - Shampoo?

Stay calm!

Lie on your side!

Stay calm!

lt's definitely blocked by something. Don't think it'll work.

Use my hands?

Hello...

Hello?

How are preparations for the event coming along?

I'm not sure we'II be abIe to even do the event right.

lt's that bad?

Now it's going down just fine.

What kind of luxury hotel has clogged up drains?

Thanks, anyway.

What? ls there a problem?

lt's just that...

The hoteI isn't paying you?

Usually l get my travel cost covered on a Iate caII.

Hello!

I'm sorry. Never mind!

Unbelievable!

35 km east of Haeundae

Do you think this'll take the water pressure?

This measuring unit could have given early warning

of the tsunami five years ago.

- Are you ready? - Yes.

All we can do is counter-calculate

Japan's numbers and make wild guesses.

lf we wait for the Japanese to act, it's going to be too late.

l agree.

But do you think it'll work?

Stop slacking. Don't you want to beat the Japanese to it?

l'm very sorry.

An apology doesn't get you off the hook.

When things are running smoothly, you go and piss someone off.

The report's gone to the top,

so there's nothing I can do about it.

Go to a quiet place and stay there for a few days.

A quiet place?

Stop crying and answer the questions, okay?

You sit down!

l came with my mom and her friend.

Mom's friend? What about your dad?

No, but l know Mom's phone number.

We plan to restrict access and have teatime here.

Coming out into a space like this wiII Ieave an impression.

Excuse me.

When seeing this side...

Yes. This is she.

What?

lncoming call: Yoo-jin

Professor.

We're getting continuous reports of radon gas Ieaks!

What?

You better hurry!

Hello?

Ji-min!

Are you Ji-min's guardian?

Yes.

She said that she didn't have a father...

Her mom toId me she'd be late and asked me to come.

Would you mind waiting here for a moment?

We can only hand her over to the official guardian.

l see.

What's this?

Use that to heIp you move your business.

That's aII right. Trying this on me is no use.

PeopIe died on The Eok-jo. The families are all our members.

No matter how much you offer, they'II never Ieave their stores.

Don't waste your energy.

Was it all my fault?

You forced the ship out of the port knowing a typhoon was coming.

Even the bodies weren't found.

What? Does it sting a little?

Don't contact me again!

Do you think you know all there is to know about the worId?

Don't be a fool.

The only reason l'm not forcing anyone out

is you and Yeon-hee.

Go ahead and force us out then.

You can't come in here.

- Let me just sell one. - PIease Ieave!

Did you have anything to eat?

You can't seII these inside the police station.

Aren't you hungry? What do you want me to get for you?

- Excuse me! - What can l offer you?

- Give us a kimbap and a donut. - AII right.

- How much is that? - $3.50.

Keep the change.

Thank you.

- Thank you very much! - Have a nice day.

Thank you, officer!

- Ji-min! - Mommy!

- What happened? You okay? - I got Iost.

I toId you to stay right next to Hae-chan!

Why you gotta get lost and make me sick with worry?

Hey, this is your doing! You don't get to cry.

Can't you see Mommy's busy working?

Listen carefully!

l don't care who you meet or who you date.

But if something happens to her,

I'm not gonna sit and watch.

Now you're the father of the year after all those years of not caring?

- What? - Don't worry about it!

We won't be meeting under these circumstances ever again.

l've gotta leave.

Let's go.

Thank you.

If you were reIocated, you should have at least told me that!

l spent my whole day Iooking for you!

What are you doing?

That's not going to be easy.

We know each other too well.

I'm asking you to do it, because it isn't going to be easy.

You just have to persuade Man-sik.

Don't worry about Man-sik. l can handle him.

All right, then l won't say anything anymore.

lf you handle this well,

I'II make sure you get your own store.

What brought you to Haeundae?

My name's not "you". lt's Kim Hi-mi!

And why do you ask such clichè questions?

l came to have a good time.

You said that you go to Ewha Woman's University, right?

That's right.

So, your major is...?

I'm going to be in the theater program.

l mean, l'm in the program.

Then you must be good at acting.

l'm not that great.

- You wanna see? - No, that's all right.

You son of a bitch!

lt's no use trying to persuade me!

ls love just a game to you?

You did everything to win me over and you're ending it?

Are you human?

Why are you doing this to me?

l'm never giving up our baby! No, I can't!

l'll raise it on my own.

lf you're going to go, just go!

Get lost!

- My baby... - Baby?

No, it's not what it Iooks Iike.

l'm gonna kill myself.

You're Iooking really pretty today.

lt took you long enough!

It's about time you got married.

Why don't you introduce me to a good man first?

Really?

ShouId I find a guy for you?

- Enough of that! - I'm serious.

You know the chairman of fishing village, Jin-seung?

He's well-educated

and his personality seems pretty good.

Wanna give him a try?

Are you serious?

- Huh? - Are you being serious?

No, l mean...

That's upsetting.

Hey, Bro!

lt's been a long time!

lt's time for you to clean up your act.

You're getting oId, aren't you worried?

l'm actually planning to start up my own business.

That's why l'm here to ask Man-sik for some help.

By the way, your father's memorial date is coming up, right?

You even remember the date of my father's memorial?

That's really touching.

lt's no big deal.

l was at his side when he died,

of course l remember the date.

Thanks to Man-sik, we were on that fishing boat that day.

Please, don't!

Let me have some.

You're a big girl now!

Drinking booze and everything.

Do you still see me as a child?

What eIse would l see you as?

See, that's why it won't work.

What?

- Do you remember? - What?

When you came to see Dad

on your first deep-sea vesseI ride?

Of course l remember!

I was a freshman in high school then.

Was it that long ago?

You didn't see me before you left, right?

- Were you home then? - Yeah.

Really?

But l was too shy to come out of my room.

- Why? - l don't know.

l guess l was going through puberty.

Whenever I saw you, my heart would beat so fast.

Your heart?

What are you up to tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Why?

Would you like to come with me to my dad's gravesite?

l need to trim the grass around it before the memorial ritual.

Sure. l'll go with you.

Fix the cage, right now!

Man-sik! You have to grab this one first!

This is the one that we have to fix first!

lf you undo that one, the anchor will break!

On Iand, you're the elder.

But out here, l'm your boss. Just do as l say!

Don't you see that? You've got to release this right now.

Why do you keep talking?

Just do what l say!

What are you doing? Aren't you gonna help?

Don't go there!

We don't have time! Hurry up!

Don't pull that!

Daddy, l'm scared.

lt's all right.

You still mad at me?

Christ!

That's an interesting watch.

- Can l have it? - What?

Wanna switch with me? Mine is a really expensive one.

No way. l really need this on rescue.

All right, l don't want it.

Do you know what they caII peopIe Iike you?

No, what?

You're just like 3:00!

What?

You're very borderline. Just like three in the afternoon.

Too Iate to go anywhere, but a waste not to do anything.

What do you mean?

What?

Wait! Don't! Don't!

Let go of me!

l can't hear you!

Oh my God! Crazy bitch!

l'm so embarrassed.

The "off to Seoul" Hi-mi is here in Busan.

Maybe her identical twin?

Slow it down!

Under the sea near Tsushima lsland

The figures are too similar to 2004 for it to be just a coincidence.

ln 2004, the epicenter continued to move to the right just like this.

Starting six months before the tsunami, we measured

instances of earthquakes at a depth of 30 km on the sea floor.

How many earthquakes has it been so far this year?

More than 50.

Before the Southeast Asia tsunami, it was over 50 as well.

- What's the median severity? - 3.0.

There's been another earthquake on the sea floor!

- Where? - East of Tsushima lsland!

- What's the magnitude? - 5.6.

They're getting bigger.

This is a serious situation.

There's a million people gathered at Haeundae right now.

lf a tsunami hits under such circumstances...

Are there any chances of a tsunami hitting Korea?

How many earthquakes do you think occur around Korea every year?

About three or four?

Thirty of more than 3.0 in intensity.

So far this year, we've already had 50.

And what's more important is the epicenters are moving closer to Korea.

lf Tsushima lsland, between Korea and Japan, collapses,

the chances of a mega-tsunami are extremely high.

A mega-tsunami?

Let's say that the bubbIes are about the size of a wave

that would arise in the event of an earthquake.

lf the western part of Tsushima sinks into the water,

the shock from that would create a wave of an unimaginable height.

That is a mega-tsunami.

The waves of the 2004 tsunami were three to four meters.

lf Tsushima lsland collapses, the waves will top 50 meters.

ls that a real possibility?

l'm talking about a minimum of 50 meters.

A wave over 100 meters high is possibIe.

Then what is it we've got to do to prepare?

lf the tsunami warning goes off, we've got to evacuate people

within 10 minutes.

Within that amount of time?

Such a tsunami could create a tidal wave that traveIs 700 kiIometers per hour.

700 kilometers?

lf a tsunami starts at Tsushima, to get to Haeundae it would take...

- How Iong? - Less than ten minutes!

Huh?

What you doin' there? Did you fight with my father?

Get over here.

All right...

Father!

l brought your favorite, Man-sik, here with me.

l wanted to tell you something very important today.

He's taken care of me so well.

Now I wanna return the favor.

Sometimes, he even takes care of me better than you did.

WeII, I keep dropping hints

but that dullard never gets it.

So l've been a little frustrated IateIy.

But l can't just bare my heart to him first.

So, you coach that man over there weII.

You were always popular with the Iadies.

Hey, you listen to what my father tells you, all right?

l'll be back in a sec.

How are you hoIding up?

l'm so sorry.

l'm sorry.

What do you mean?

What if...

in the future,

Yeon-hee became my wife. How would you feel?

How much did you drink?

Show some respect.

Are you serious?

Listen carefully.

lf there's a girl from Seoul

who goes to a good university

and is so hot and from a rich family.

Could l go out with a girl like that? That make any sense?

lt does not.

Right? lt doesn't, does it?

Don't drink too much.

Think about it carefully.

What Yeon-hee's father's Iast words were.

Run to the restaurant in 10 minutes, or you'll be dead and so will l.

Can l...

be out for about an hour?

Where are you going this time?

Just an hour. l have an important appointment.

Choi Hyung-sik?

...the fireworks display of the World Culture Expo.

You're a natural.

How many girls did you get with that act?

But l cannot forgive you for flirting with my fiancè.

What?

You should know who she's with before you flirt with her.

She's not the kind of girl within your reach.

You're a real classy guy.

l hope this is the last time that I see you.

lf l catch you again,

l'll beat the shit out of you.

You look as if something good has just happened to you.

- Yep, that's right. - What happened?

Today finally, Mipo Golden Beach has been approved.

But you don't need to worry about it.

l promised your dad I'd take care of you.

Drop by my office tomorrow.

l'll set you up with a good spot.

No, that's all right.

You've aIready helped me out a lot.

You leaving now?

Do you want me to caII a taxi?

No, no. l'm fine.

Eok-jo!

l will send the rent fee for the boat in a few days.

I don't spare money when it comes to you.

So don't work too hard for money.

AII right. Good-bye.

Why did that old man come here?

Just to have dinner.

Don't serve him next time. He pisses me off.

- What brings you so late? - Oh, right!

What's the special occasion?

Wait a second.

Yeon-hee!

l love you!

l want you to be the mother of my children!

What are you doing?

l'm p-p-pro-posing.

Why aren't you answering?

- Answer what? - Say you will marry me.

- Let me think about it... - Think about what?

You have to give me time to think.

lf it's a "yes," it's a "yes." What's there to think about?

Early tomorrow morning, come to my restaurant.

lf there is a red ribbon tied to my boat,

it's a "yes."

Don't expect too much though.

Why don't you just give me an answer now?

Come, look!

Are you playing with me?

l have been waiting for you all day.

lf you can't keep promises, you shouIdn't make one.

And if you can't keep a promise, you should at least explain why.

Hey. Are you going to keep ignoring me?

Hey, you!

Hey!

Don't fool around with me.

Don't come to see me.

I don't want to see you again.

What?

What? lnterview?

It's a smaII company but the monthly pay is almost $2,000.

l had a really hard time getting someone I know to arrange it.

Stop it. How can l be doing job interviews at my age?

Then are you going to live without a job for your entire Iife?

Who said l would be jobless for the rest of my Iife?

Stubborn jackass!

Anyway, l won't go. Don't try to persuade me.

l'm begging you.

I don't even have an acceptable pair of shoes.

WiII you go if l buy you shoes?

Just forget about it!

Why is it so hard for you to go to a job interview?

Go and at least try.

Why don't you go? l'm too old for that.

That attitude is the reason you don't have a woman.

Shit. l'll burn your mouth.

Moron, you say that all the time.

My skin doesn't Iook right.

Are you crazy? Why are you in such a good mood?

Why? Do you want to know?

No way!

Do you want me to teII you?

I didn't say l wanted to know!

ln fact...

today Man-sik proposed to me!

- What? - lsn't it funny?

l was so shocked.

Why? Do you feel jealous?

This just isn't right.

What do you mean?

What's he thinking?

What are you saying?

Do you know how your dad passed away?

We've got major problems here.

The path of the typhoon has already shifted toward us.

And underwater earthquakes are occurring once every two days.

Another earthquake happened off the shore of Tsushima IsIand!

- This time it's 6.5. - What!

Doctor! We are connected to Japan!

This is Kim Hwi.

What? Has a tsunami warning already been issued?

Under the sea near Tsushima lsland

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

You must be waiting for Yeon-hee.

But she won't be coming.

What?

Thanks to you, Eok-jo cursed me out.

You act like you don't care about justice at all,

so l told her the truth!

Since l was a kid, my nickname was the "guardian ofjustice."

You son of a bitch!

You get out here!

You scumbag!

You killed her dad. lsn't it true?

Take your hands off!

Hello!

What?

Has he gone crazy?

Wait up. l'm coming right now.

What are you talking about?

How can we evacuate one million people right now?

On top of that, the "Culture Expo" opened today.

If we put a haIt to it, we'll be the world's laughing stock!

Then do you want all the people here to die?

In Japan, the cautionary warning has already been issued.

ln Japan, earthquakes happen a lot.

Do you have proof a tsunami will be coming here?

Last night's 6.5 earthquake occurred near Tsushima lsland.

There is a high chance a stronger earthquake will hit soon.

Moreover, if an earthquake over 7.0 occurs off the shore of Tsushima,

Haeundae will be in grave danger.

Didn't you see what happened in Southeast Asia?

Three-hundred thousand died in an hour!

You're driving me crazy...

Why are you doing this to me? Do you want to ruin my Iife?

I never wanted to interrupt your work!

l just told them because it is a terribly dangerous situation.

For the last year, l've been risking my career over this!

You think you are the only one who works hard? I do too!

Even if you try to get in my way, I wiII continue.

l'm not ignoring you, so just caIm down.

Why don't you send Ji-min to SeouI first?

Don't boss me around. l'll handle Ji-min on my own.

She's with that strange jerk, isn't she?

Watch your mouth. He is more reliable than you'll ever be!

Stay out of my life, all right?

What are you doing?

You guys go on ahead. l can't go today.

What? You've already come all this way.

Next time!

Oh, come on in. You brought your legal seal, right?

What are you talking about?

l don't need a store.

Why?

l've been thinking about it since yesterday.

You, my father and I, are all people of Haeundae.

Everyone here is like famiIy to me.

Even if l get a new store and Iive off of it,

Dad would not be happy.

PIease consider Man-sik, and think it over once again.

l'm asking you as a favor.

l'll be leaving now.

And l...

l'm leaving Haeundae next week.

Prince of the Sea

Come on, Hi-mi!

Let's go to the hot spring.

Under the sea near Tsushima lsland

West of Tsushima lsland

We can't wait any longer.

First, we have to evacuate the people on the beach.

What are you taIking about? There's been no directive yet.

This is not the time for us to just wait around for directives.

Something's not right here.

If we issue an evacuation order and nothing happens,

wiII you take the responsibility for it?

Director! l've got the order

to issue the tsunami warning and clear out immediately!

What?

Hurry! lssue the warning and make an announcement now!

Haeundae has one of the biggest beaches in Asia along with

Dongbaek lsland, Moonrise HiII,

Hot Spring, Oryuk lsland.

Busan, an internationally-recognized tourist attraction,

is incomparable to any other city in its cuIturaI diversity.

Also, as a port city, it has strived to expand cultural...

Sir, a mandatory evacuation order has been issued.

CouId you wrap up here? l have to go check on Ji-min.

35 km east of Haeundae

Where are you now?

l am going to get my car repaired. Why?

What's your shoe size?

Shoes?

Why are you asking? Didn't you go to a picnic today?

Just answer the question. What size is it?

Size 10?

Whatever. l'm really busy right now.

Joon-ha, do you like fishing?

Did you plan this? All part of your scheme?

No, I'm just going by the plan your friends came up with.

Those losers...

They must be having a good time, right?

Don't worry. lt's over now.

Joon-ha always wins.

That bitch is so lucky.

You sound a IittIe emotional about it.

No, l'm not. l'm going to the restroom.

Yeon-hee... l will explain everything.

Can l just be alone today?

You can if you want, but...

A tsunami warning was issued as of 2:30 p.m.

Everyone on the beach shouId seek high ground immediately...

What's wrong with you?

20 km east of Haeundae

Check out the situation in Japan right now.

- How's the evacuation situation? - We're preparing for it now.

lt is not easy to clear out a crowd of one miIIion.

- Doctor! lt's serious. - What!

They're saying a tsunami is coming toward Korea now.

- The estimated time? - Around 10 minutes.

- Height? - We have yet to...

Go and check it out immediately!

Hello!

Where is she?

l told you to take good care of her.

First of all, get all the people to high ground in 10 minutes.

- Where are you going? - I'II be back soon.

15 km east of Haeundae

What are you going to do?

Can't you see that cracked front screen?

Uncle Dong-choon!

Well... we left Sooyoung Bay two hours ago.

Where the hell are we!

Hurry!

Mommy!

Anyone out there?

- HeIIo! - Which room is she in?

- The 17th floor, room 1 . - Room 1 on the 17th?

Okay, where are you?

l'm nearby. l had a problem.

Anyway, you need to get to a high building!

What?

A tsunami is headed straight for Haeundae beach now.

Man-sik...

What's that?

Help! Rescue us!

Uncle! Grandma!

Ma'am!

Hurry!

There! Over there!

- HeIp! - Rescue ship found.

We will begin rescue work right away.

Hello! ls anyone here? Hello!

Man-sik!

Yeon-hee!

Seung-hyun!

Ma'am!

Help!

Basket!

What basket?

Basket, you moron!

l heard there are onIy two here.

l just brought a safety beIt.

You, fucking idiot!

- Throw it quickly. - AII right!

Help!

Nobody there?

Seung-hyun!

Haven't you seen a little kid?

Man-sik!

Yeon-hee! CIimb up!

Quickly!

Hurry!

l'm fine. You go first.

Stop talking and just do it.

Step on my shoulder and get up there fast!

We don't have time.

Mom! Mom!

- Ji-min! - Help!

Help!

Ji-min!

Hold my hand tight.

Ji-min!

Nobody out there?

One by one!

You son of a bitch! One by one!

Hyung-sik!

Good job, good job.

Are you okay?

Arms! Arms! Okay!

You first!

- What about you? - l'll take him and go.

- Coming right back? - Yeah.

Let me ask one thing.

- What? - Are you really engaged to him?

What? We barely know each other.

That bastard!

Go ahead.

Roll up!

Come up quickly, okay? You got that?

Hello? Where are you?

l'm fine. What about Ji-min?

l'm with her on the roof.

Where are you?

Tell me where you are!

- lnside the elevator. - What?

l'm stuck in the hotel elevator.

- Which floor? - Tenth floor.

Honey.

Honey, l gotta go.

Wait! l will be there soon.

No, don't come! It's too Iate.

The water's up to my neck.

Yoo-jin!

Hold yourself together!

Ji-min's here!

Ji-min! lt's Mom. Wait here for a second.

- Mom! - No! You can't go down!

Mommy!

Ji-min, are you all right? Are you hurt?

No, l'm fine. l'm with your friend!

Ji-min, Iisten carefuIIy to what l'm about to say.

Get out of my way!

There's one thing l haven't been abIe to teII you.

The man you are with now is your dad.

l was going to tell you someday...

Mom, why are you crying? Come here quickly. l miss you.

l miss you, too.

l miss you so much.

l love you.

l love you, too.

l love you so much.

Mom! Mom!

Yoo-jin! Yoo-jin!

Yoo-jin!

Come outside quickly!

Hold still!

Don't move!

Stupid bastard!

We should use a Iight bomb!

- After it falls down... - No, don't go.

The risk is too high!

l'll be back soon!

- No! - No! The risk is too high!

No, Hyung-sik!

- No, don't! - No!

Hold on a little longer!

Grab my hand!

Hold on! Grab my hand!

Honey, hold my hand tight.

lf you let go of my hand, you're a dead man!

Yeon-hee!

l want to tell you one last thing!

What is it?

l was going to say this earlier...

but l couldn't bring myseIf to do it.

Shut your mouth and just hoId on.

No, no!

lf l die like this, my soul will never be at peace.

What are you talking about?

Aren't you going to marry me?

Were you just playing with me?

No, l wasn't kidding. l meant it.

l really love you!

Then live!

Only when you live, we can get married or whatever you want!

Thanks...

Thank you so much...

Stop!

lf you die today,

l'll really kill you!

Hold tight!

Yeon-hee!

Live on!

- Live on! - Man-sik!

Live on, Yeon-hee, and be happy.

Man-sik!

Wake up, man!

Baby, hold tight!

Come here!

Come here, man!

Hold on tight, man!

Man-sik!

You all right?

Good. Good.

Eok-jo!

Uncle!

Eok-jo!

Uncle!

Uncle! Uncle!

Are you okay?

- What's happening? - l think it's too heavy!

What are you doing? RoII in the rope!

Wait a second!

Stop! The rope is about to fall apart!

- Then what? - Just a second!

What's wrong?

The rope is about to faII apart.

- What? - Hold on just a second.

What if it's just one person?

Yeah, it may be able to handle just one!

No, Hyung-sik, no!

Don't!

What is he doing?

Hey...

give this watch to Hi-mi over there.

Hyung-sik! No!

Don't!

Do something!

Don't worry!

lt's not 3:00 yet.

No! No!

No!

Hey...

Don't let him go!

Hyung-sik! Don't!

Hurry back and don't take too long.

Hyung-sik! Don't...

Hyung-sik!

No!

Women and children first!

Here is a kid.

Mommy!

- Yoo-jin! - Mommy!

- Are you okay? - l'm okay.

Okay!

Here's a kid!

Move! Move out the way!

This is my daughter.

Here's a kid!

Please take her.

Thank you.

l'll take care of her, don't worry.

Ji-min!

l'm your dad!

Daddy!

And you call yourself a man?

Yoo-jin...

l'm sorry.

l'm so sorry...

Me too.

Help!

Help! Grandma!

Seung-hyun!

Seung-hyun, come on over here!

- You should swim. - I can't swim.

What are you doing? Jump into the water.

l'm not that good of a swimmer.

- What? - l can only do the dog paddle.

You crazy guy!

Here! Here! Help! Help!

We should not forget the sacrifice of ocean rescue workers

who put the lives of those in danger ahead of their own.

ln the face of such adversity,

they worked fearlessly

to secure the safety of the peopIe.

We express our deepest respect and honor to them.

We bear the guilt

of sending them to their place of death

when we look upon the faces of their famiIies.

We have gathered here today to offer these heroes

a worthy send off to their eternal resting place.

Then who saved you?

Me? Mom's friend...

Friend?

l mean, my dad.

Ji-min!

- lt's time to go. - l'm coming!

- Goodbye. - Bye bye.

Hey!

Have we met before?

Anyhow, don't you think Eok-jo was great?

Right!

When did he go to the office and cancel the license?

I heard he went there when the earthquake occurred,

just before the tsunami struck.

lf he hadn't gone to the office,

he would still be alive.

He is not the only one who was unlucky.

Think about Dong-choon's mother.

She got off the picnic bus to buy his shoes.

By the way, l heard that Dong-choon won a prize?

What prize?

He got a "Courageous Citizen" award.

He saved 13 people under the Gwangan Bridge.

- That loser? - Yeah.

Seung-hyun and Man-sik's mom were saved by Dong-choon.

Wow, the world really is fuII of surprises.

Aren't you gonna work?

Mom...

- Eat up. - Thank you, Aunt.

lt would be great if things always turned out like we want them to.

But sometimes couples hate each other,

and think "How can l be living with this kind of a person".

- Mom, we're not like that. - Shut your mouth!

But, remember, there's no special man or woman out there.

Just take good care of each other.

When you get old, you only have your spouse to depend on.

You know what l mean?

Yes, Mother. l will do my best.

Thanks for accepting me

despite all my flaws and troubIes.

No, no. Come here, Yeon-hee.

Thank you, Mother.

You've had some hard times. l understand.

Yeah, indeed.

You had hard times, Yeon-hee.

What's this?

What are you doing? Give it back!

Give it back!

- Give it back! - What's this?

Please, give it to me!

Run and get it! Hurry!

- What the hell is that? - Hurry up! Hurry.

All right!

- Run! Hurry! - l am running!

- Run, Man-sik! - What's wrong with you!
