Original subtitles

Shit...

Stay there, you bastards!

You are all dead when I catch you!

You sonovabitch...

Hello, this is jung taesoo.

Taesoo.

This is miran.

It has been a long time.

Have you been well?

This early morning.

Wangjae...

Died.

Hey, hey, hey!

Bring some beer and some snacks here.

And bring some to that old gentlemen's table.

Anyway,

without you it would have been a disaster.

Wangjae doesn't have any relatives.

Miran won't have done all this alone.

What are you talking...

Wangjae is...

My best friend as well as my brother-in-law.

If I am not his family, who is?

You are such a good man.

That's why I can brag about you in public.

If I may!

To tell you the truth...

When I studied for the bar exam,

wangjae was the only one who supported me till the end.

Am I right or not?

Tell the truth! Among everyone here,

is there anyone who didn't make fun of me?

Will you stop already? You are so drunk.

I am not drunk!

Am I drunk just because I'm telling the truth?

Hey, pilho! Isn't it right?

Wangjae shouldn't have died.

All of you here are the ones who should have died!

Hey, hey!

You sonovabitch! If you are drunk...

Stop it.

Let go of Mel he needs to learn some manners.

- Get off of him. - Let go of me!

He is an idiot, but still donghwan is your older brother.

Please don't mind us. Go back to what you were doing.

Shit, I left a Mark. Let me see.

Leave me alone!

What is all this commotion at the funeral?

This is a small shop but wangjae cherished it.

What is this? Can't you give me some decent food?

I am making it.

He said he would settle down.

Anyway, how have you been?

How do you think? A detective chases criminals.

You still beat them up to get them to confess?

Don't you know how it is these days?

They complain when I handcuff them too tight.

They boss me around when I question them.

Considering that, we must now belong to a more developed world.

Even on TV, American detectives catch criminals relying on scientific

or highly psychological questioning when they don't use guns.

Think about the 'Columbo' episodes we watched when we were young.

It was high-level. It was different.

Hey, let's cut the crap now.

What happened to wangjae?

I am also at a loss.

Did you hear the story?

It happened in here.

The part-time waiter coincidentally couldn't come in that day.

He waited on the customers himself.

It was packed.

I heard business was very good even though it was a weekday.

- Bring me more beer! - Ok, in a second!

Wangjae's mom passed away while he was in prison.

And miran had a miscarriage.

He tried to get himself together and start a new life.

He worked like a dog for a few years.

On that day...

A couple of young punks came in and made a scene.

As a detective you know that kids these days are fearless.

I am also scared of kids these days.

Think about it. We know how wangjae was in his prime.

But would those little punks know who he is?

Stop it, you punks!

- Fuck you... - No!

Stop it!

Let me go, get your hand off!

Wangjae should have calmed himself down at that point.

Wreck the fucking place!

Stop it already.

You know wangjae's temper.

As those fearless punks made such a mess...

Don't you stay there, you bastards!

He ran out with them to teach them some lessons.

But...

The invincible wangjae had aged.

He had no equal back in old times.

But these days. How could he beat those rambunctious young kids?

You little punks...

- Are you ready? Let's go. - What for?

Today is our family picture day.

Your brother...

Must have been beaten by some bastard.

He came home with bruised eyes.

He must have done something that deserved it.

But he is still your brother. Can't you do something?

I would respect him if he acted like an older brother.

Mom, you are really frustrating me.

Frankly, who put us in this pathetic situation?

Being deluded and wasting all our money studying for the bar exam.

- What more can we do? - Hey, he might hear you.

That's why...

How can you be down there?!

Hey! Can't you cover for me even for a few days?

When your wife gave birth I spent the whole week

eating only instant noodles in the car to cover for you.

- Did you already forget? - What does that have to do with this?

- This is no joke! - Hey, I don't care.

- I'll stay here for a week. - The captain said he would fire us.

Tell him to go ahead! My battery's low, I'm gonna hang up!

I don't care! Do whatever you want!

High school picnic, 1987

where are you going?

What is this?

This is snake tonic. Nothing like this for stamina.

Where did you get this?

Where else do you think? I caught a little one down there.

I made quick liquor out of it.

What are you doing? Open it.

You country bumpkin. You don't drink it right away.

The older it gets, the better.

I will bury it here for now. So leave it, okay?

20 years later, when we make it in the world,

we will dig it up and drink it in style.

Okay, what's 20 years if it's good for stamina.

Wangjae!

Wangjae!

What's wrong?

Hey!

What the fuck do you think you are doing?

Where are we going?

Hell, let's fucking do it!

- Sorry. - It's okay, kid.

It happens.

By the way, why did you do it?

My idiot brother was being robbed by those bastards.

- I am sorry. - What do you say?

It would be weirder for a future judge to be fighting.

Take revenge for us later. Then everything will be good.

Hey, I really want to pee. What should I do?

Could we get out of here?

You dimwit... Kids are playing down there.

I will scream to get help.

- Don't you have any fucking pride? - Then what should we do?

What about just singing loudly?

I am regretting it

please

tell her

that I am waiting

Excuse me.

Taesoo, say hi.

This is jung taesoo a detective in Seoul.

Nice to meet you.

- Is there anything you want me to do? - Why?

We have to move before it's too late.

What?

What do you think? We should look for his killer.

What do you mean "look"? Just don't get into any trouble.

Stay out of it, okay? Our town has enough trouble.

How can you say that? Huh?

It's wangjae.

Do you think I am not mad?

Do you think I am ok?

To you he's your senior, but to me he's a friend!

To you he's senior, but to me he's a friend!

Don't talk about being angry. I am angrier than you are!

Everything has a right time, okay?

I don't know about the right time.

But when I find his killer I will peel off his skin.

Hey!

- Why is he like that? - It's nothing.

That stubborn ass.

Let's go down now.

Anyway, aren't you leaving today?

I thought about it, but something is not right about wangjae.

I have to see it myself that his case is solved.

Hey, what's there to worry about when I am here?

If you do it, it isn't legal. But if I do it, it is.

Catching criminals is what I do everyday.

Didn't you notice anything strange lately about wangjae?

Anything sudden like...

This is shake tonic.

Doing something for the first time.

Aren't you leaving for Seoul?

An infamous thug was killed for no good reason.

It would look suspicious to a detective.

Miran.

You know it's not that.

Let me ask you one thing.

Wangjae...

Did he really leave his past behind?

What's wonsuk's number?

Yeah...

Nothing new as yet, right?

Yes, I got it, so wrap it up and get back here.

President jang, why were you in the bathroom so long?

I am sorry.

- Where were we? - The special tourist district...

Right, the special tourist district.

The bill for onsung special tourist district passed congress.

Now it only awaits public announcement.

We got the permission to open a casino.

- Good job getting me this far. - Thank you.

This is only the beginning.

Haven't I been talking to you about this enterprise since last year?

Casinos are no laughing matter.

Getting permission is not everything.

Because of a problem with a road we couldn't select the lot.

President Cho, I've been working on it since last month...

Don't say things like 'l am doing my best'.

There is no one who doesn't do his best in this world.

There are only those who do well and those who don't.

Why do you think I sent down the smartest team from headquarters?

You know what I mean, don't you?

If the road problem is not solved it will get harder, president jang.

Hey, how is it going?

- Hey, bro! - What are you doing here?

What else? I came here 'cause I missed you!

Are you busy?

What's there to be busy with?

If you are free, why don't we go to the sauna?

Sauna? Sauna, it is.

Now that you face this rough world

what do you hope for?

Shall we start with the pinky or the thumb?

Which is better, pinky or thumb?

Let's do the thumb.

Who cares anyway when we will just cut them all?

Hey, hey, president jang!

It's Mel President of the young men's club!

This is your mentor! How can you do this to me?

Why don't we just cut his tongue off?

He talks so much I can't concentrate.

Wouldn't it be too cruel for a start?

Why, are you busy today? Do you have extra work to do?

President jang!

I will pay you back.

You know I am the only son, right?

I can't give you the land. How can the only son leave it?

Wait a minute.

What about chopping off his hand if he won't listen?

Can ldo it?

President jang! Who made you so well-off?

But isn't the ankle better?

After all, it's only a hand. If he doesn't have it...

Without a foot, he will have to use crutches.

So both his hands and foot are tied.

Is that so? Then, do the ankle.

Okay.

President jang!

If I give you my house and the lot,

where can we go?

It will be more bearable if you sing inside.

You know, what's-his-face in old China.

He grounded and scattered them around the chicken farm.

Compared to that, how humane is this?

Why are you making me so cruel by not keeping your promise?

President jang!

I give up.

What's fucking taking so long?

Come out quick, you bitch!

I'm coming.

- Jesus, what is this? - What else? Get out!

Hey, hey! What's wrong, you bitches!

- [Is someone in? - Guess who?

I thought you were an angel, but you do crap, don't you?

What? This is embarrassing, get out!

Who?

Your pimp who is fucking around to feed you.

Shit, how do I know?

Why are you so angry? You almost make me feel sorry...

Doesn't drinking everyday give you diarrhea?

Hey, diarrhea girl, look up here.

Do you want me to upload it to the Internet?

Cut that out!

I told you I don't know!

You don't? You look good.

Can minors work at the bar?

I don't think they can even drink, legally, I mean.

- Bidets are in trend these days. - You crazy bastard!

- You really don't know? - I am going insane! Stop it!

- Okay, okay, I will come out. - What? What? Did you say okay?

I don't know! He is hiding somewhere in bonjungtong!

Hey, don't make it complicated.

Just answer my questions.

What are you? Huh? An asshole?

An asshole?

Now that you're relaxed, can you think of anything?

Be careful! You may get hurt.

You punks, don't you have uncles?

Hang on to the wire!

Hey...

What kind of kids are they?

How would I know? Only the beaters know why they beat.

You left for Seoul long ago so you wouldn't know what's going on.

This isn't the onsung where we grew up.

Shit... it's embarrassing to be beaten up in my hometown.

Wangjae left his gangs to pilho.

Since last year it was crazy with that special tourist district.

They say even a casino is coming.

If he had known he would have kept the gang.

What's with that shabby beer place?

Did wangjae and pilho get along?

Why wouldn't they?

It was too much for pilho to handle so wangjae helped him out.

Would they tell me such things?

Sukhwan, stop poking around.

I will talk with the detectives here.

Make some sense!

What can you do?

Think in my shoes for a second.

A person that you owe a lot to suffers a senseless death.

Can you tell me not to do anything?

Hey, I am feeling worse.

At least you saw wangjae every day. What did I do?

Do you know how it feels to see your friend's funeral portrait

back at my hometown after 10 years?

When my brother donghwan ruined us studying for the bar exam.

Wangjae was the only one who looked after us.

When everyone treated me like nothing but a thug,

wangjae was the only one who looked after me.

And who are you to make me a fucking ingrate?

Sukhwan.

Hey.

Can you find who those kids are?

- Hey! - Ohh.

Hey, you, who were those guys who came to bonjungtong yesterday?

It hurts, you sonovabitch!

What are you doing?

Hey, won't you let me down quickly?

I will tell you, you assholes! Get me down already!

Taesoo.

What are you doing here?

Hey, hey!

You fucking crackhead.

- You sonovabitch! - Hey.

You are not even my brother!

I knew something was wrong.

He has no woman, nowhere to go but he always whined he had no money.

- It's not that. - What's not that?

Donghwan...

Look at me.

Donghwan! Look straight at me.

Taesoo, I didn't really know.

He told me he would give me drugs if I introduce some punks.

I had no idea it was to stab you guys in the back.

If I did that knowingly, I am really a sonovabitch!

Who is it? Who made you like this?

President jang, isn't this a little much?

Check the contract again, okay?

If you don't pay back the principal on time...

Shouldn't you turn over the secured property or not?

When you lent money you said you would be flexible.

How can I be more flexible?

To be honest, my interest is lower than the bank.

I kept letting you be late on the return of the principal.

Everyone knows that this land will be developed.

What if we pay the principal when we sell the land

after it's developed?

I don't like complicated things so I will stick to the contract.

You sonovabitch!

Luring innocent people to get a loan

to get the land dirt cheap do you think no one knows?

Why are you fucking around now, huh?

Now that this will be developed, do you fuckers think you hit the gold?

Then why did you borrow my money? What a bunch of thieves.

Hey, bulldoze over it.

A few months ago he said if I help him out

he'd give me a job at the casino.

Then my mom wouldn't have to toil at the market.

- Are you fucking with me? - Stop it, he is your brother.

Hey, what's there for you to help pilho with?

'Cause it's going crazy with the casino stuff.

Police arrested all his gangs.

Teaching kids is my job.

Pilho has to keep on, so...

He wanted to hire some nameless kids.

That's what he asked me.

When did you start doing drugs?

- So he knew you were a druggie? - Hey.

Don't you know your own brother?

Pilho sometimes entertained me

and hooked me with me suspecting.

Look at this. How could I say anything to anyone?

Sonovabitch.

The President of the young men's club.

He knows well about the business pilho and wangjae were up to.

Hey, bro.

Who on earth moves at night?

It's cool and there's no traffic. Why can't I do it as I please?

Do you call this cool? We can see our breath.

Something happened between wangjae and pilho, right?

I don't know! Get out of the way!

You better tell me before it gets out of hand.

Huh?

Didn't I tell them to bring some food long ago...

After wangjae yielded his gangs to pilho...

This town became a mess.

Wangjae started as a bum but he was business savvy.

But pilho only had bad temper. He couldn't do anything.

The town was quiet but...

He was incompetent so he started ruining the whole town again.

Sukhwan. You collected money for pilho. So you would know.

This town lived off on tourism for the hot Springs.

And as the money dried up there was nothing left to squeeze.

And then all hell broke loose.

In short, an opportunity presented itself.

When it was spilled last year that this town would be a tourist district.

A rumor began to spread that a casino would come.

So this side will be the tourist...

Pilho noticed something too so he came to me first for information.

It began to get serious when president Cho came from Seoul.

He and his men are in charge of the casino business.

It seems they offered a partnership to pilho

on the condition that pilho takes care of problems here.

Pilho started a private loan business with the money he got from them

taking property as security!

How could this obvious problem have gone unnoticed?

Things got worse...

And who else would people have to go to

but wangjae?

It was the last time I saw wangjae.

Why don't you say something?

Is it only us involved?

Wangjae.

You seem to have a serious misunderstanding.

I also got a loan from president jang.

That's why I told you you were wrong too.

It's an obvious problem, yet you are turning a blind eye for profit.

Problem? What problem?

It's in order to prosper together!

Knock it off.

It's you who went on a rampage and ruined the whole town.

Even a rogue should know who to extort from and who not to.

Are you a leech

latching onto anybody and sucking blood?

Hey.

Aren't you being a little harsh?

I am your brother-in-law!

Hey, I am wangjae.

Hey, why are you two being like this

at this posh bar?

Hey...

Bring some thick tape.

It's fun to bring back our old memories, huh?

It won't be as fun as time goes by.

You are making a mistake.

You are the one who made a mistake.

I will spare you if you give it up now.

Go fuck yourself.

You dickhead, you still don't know what you are doing?

You will end up handing over your own business

as well as people in this town to those from Seoul.

Get it?

That's how pilho fell out with wangjae.

That's the last thing I saw.

Pilho is well capable of doing such things...

That fucking bastard...

You are in no position to blame pilho.

Isn't it you who lured people to get a loan from pilho?

I am a victim too!

Then why did you gamble with other people's money?

I had no idea pilho would do this to me.

We were partners...

How much did you know?

I never heard that story before.

He said you worked for pilho!

Would I have done it knowingly?

I didn't even know my brother became a druggie!

Hello?

Uh!

You fucker.

What a fucker!

Let go of me! Raise your head.

Let go of me!

You bastard, asshole...

- Let me go! - Hey!

Pull yourself together.

We have to get pilho, don't we?

Huh?!

Hey.

If I guarantee your safety,

can you make the same statement at the police?

You are late.

I am ashamed.

I am so tired, so cut the crap

and get to the point.

Tomorrow is mom's 60th birthday...

Can't you treat me like your older brother even for one day?

It's not for me.

I feel sorry for mom.

Her eldest son being pushed around outside and at home.

Do you know what time it is?

Did you come here to act drunk at this hour?

Get out.

Shit...

Can't I even come to my best friend's house when I please?

Why on earth are you doing this to me?

Why?

Why?

Why, did you say?

Hey, miran.

Sung miran.

Your husband, wangjae...

He was killed by your brother pilho.

My friend wangjae...

My friend pilho killed him!

Didn't I tell you you were making a mistake?

Pilho, you...

You sonovabitch.

You said you would make my sister happy.

And look at you now, hmm?

Fuck...

The situation is becoming more serious.

So?

What do you suggest?

It is a very important matter.

I suggest you handle it before it leaks to the headquarter in Seoul.

Hey, baldy can't I make just one call?

This is really urgent!

Then at least charge my cell phone.

Sir.

Sir, help me!

Will you stay quiet!

I am gonna die!

Hey, hey!

What is this, paint thinner?

Save me!

Save me...

Save me... save me.

Save me...

I said nothing. Believe me.

Please spare me this once.

Save me! Save me!

Hello, this is taesoo.

Did you get the portions of sand right?

The Bridges fall 'cause you don't mix right.

Those fuckers have no sense of responsibility.

Hey, move your toes.

Is it ok?

It's firm, what are you waiting for?

Do you know how much I cared for you?

Then how can be you such an ingrate, taking wrong side all the time?

Didn't I tell you to behave till I made you well-off?

Would I take the profit alone when I took your land?

Wouldn't I done everything to give your land back to you?

How can you achieve victory without your life?

I don't understand...

You are a traitor.

Today is your last day.

I am telling you again.

It's not my fault.

It's all your overreacting.

I feel so sad.

Say hi to wangjae when you meet him.

Wow, mom looks like when she was young.

It's because I never dress up.

If I dressed up. I would give any actress a run for her money.

It's not you, it's donghwan's dress that makes you stylish.

You should hurry, we will be late if we stop by aunt's house.

Do you remember?

20 years will take a while.

And one of us won't get to the 20th year either.

The light is on.

I figured there wouldn't be another chance to tell you that.

Mom, it used to be all field.

No kidding.

If I had known I wouldn't have sold the lot.

Anyhow, it's such a nice day.

You didn't leave yet?

I am leaving with you.

I still have a lot to do here.

How many people have to get hurt?

This is your hometown.

I changed my legal resident long ago.

Stop messing around, okay?

Do you know

that you guys always ordered me around since childhood?

This is an order.

Taesoo.

Jung taesoo.

Alright.

If you have time,

let's go to the sauna together.

Well, is it bearable?

Do you know?

Sucking up to a strong person is bad.

But it's worse to ignore him.

What's with the long face?

Aren't you insanely mad?

Are you going crazy?

Being beaten by a old-time loser drives you mad, doesn't it?

Dying takes energy though, doesn't it?

I won't kill you.

Why?

'Cause you are not my equal.

Only strong ones can forgive, right?

It's true forgiveness when it's given from the strong to the weak.

Taesoo.

I realized that it's not the strong that last,

but it's the lasting that are strong.

Pay for the bus with this.

You are risking a lot by sparing him.

Shall we take care of him now?

What do you think you are?

I will judge and I will decide.

I am the king!

Signing ceremony for casino development at

onsung tourist district

Opening ceremony for onsung casinoland

I am leaving for Seoul tomorrow.

Are you?

What do you want me to do?

I couldn't do anything, could 1?

One is my brother

and the other is my husband.

I hear the casino members

are throwing a party tonight at ondangjung.

Hello?

It's me, sukhwan.

Oh, yes... did the funeral go well for your mom and brother?

I was too busy to attend.

I sent to you a lot of money though.

It's the thought that counts.

It's a war now.

Are you mad at me or something?

What's wrong? You scare me.

I am sorry but...

I am too busy today,

with all the employees from Seoul that just arrived.

It's okay.

Where and when don't matter to us.

If

If my brother had become a judge,

he would have watched our back, wouldn't he?

I don't have a warrant but it's half-legal.

Huh?

Hey, which way is to the office?

Cheers!

Why is it so noisy outside?

Don't mind it.

It's normal for a bar with booming business to be noisy.

How is it? Hanging in there?

I don't even have energy to speak.

At least you are younger than me.

I never heard before that it's okay for the young to be beaten.

I am getting busy. I'll see you later.

Okay.

When things get settled around here,

why don't you come up to the Seoul headquarters and expand it?

Now that your hometown became an undisputable tourist city,

isn't it about time for you to be less of a country bumpkin?

I'd like to recommend you to the chairman at headquarters

but there is something about you I can't trust completely.

Maybe because you worked mainly on the streets

you don't seem to have a good business sense yet.

What are you doing?

Is all this noise because of those two?

I'll have to reconsider you president jang.

I knew I would have to hang out with thugs,

I can't be this humiliated, can I?

What a talkative ass.

What? What?

What, him?

It's not like your chairman fell down!

Shit. The situation changes everyone, right?

Shallow asses.

Why don't you get some doggy bags?

Hey, taesoo.

You are really frustrating me.

Why are you still here bugging me?

What are you waiting for?

Why don't you come down and have a drink?

Side dishes are good here.

You guys are so persistent.

Life throws this and that to you.

So why do you hang onto the problems

that you cannot solve? Don't you agree?

I am ashamed of you, sonovabitch!

How is it?

Do you feel something hot plunging into your flesh?

It feels the same at the first stab.

Why are you making me look evil?

Huh?

Why do wangjae and you look down on me?

Why, are you angry?

Because someone like me who you thought was a loser

became a king of our hometown instead of you?

Shit...

Pilho...

How come we ended up like this?

What of us?

Pilho...

You never know...

The last man standing wins.

Pilho...

Your hands were always warm.

Technically it's us who won, isn't it?

What do you think, donghwan?

It's absolutely their fault and...

We were superior skill-wise too.

But it's still embarrassing.

The whole day is gone without nothing left.

Nothing? We still have this.

20 years later when we make it to the world, we will drink it in style.

But what will we be doing 20 years later?

Don't worry.

We won't be much anyway.

- Don't you think? - What are you saying?

Fuck...
