Could you, please?

I'm done for tonight.

I'm heading out.

- Good job.

- See you tomorrow.

We're late.

Let's go.

What?

It's until today...

If I don't use this voucher today,

I'll be throwing away a lot of money.

Cut the crap and

give me the money.

Here.

You just left that day.

Now can we watch the movie?

Let's go.

Hey!

Here,

you're not allowed

to throw things.

Shut up.

Want to see

the next film, too?

11:
37 PM

Looks good.

You have to turn the meat over

only once to retain its juice.

It's ready now.

You want to see

something impressive?

Luck follows me everywhere.

Win One More Bottle

Luck follows me everywhere.

I should stop before

I use up my luck.

For you.

Cheers.

It tastes good tonight.

What's so exciting and fun?

What's not?

I didn't choose this life,

but I can't just die.

Sol may as well enjoy it.

And I like cooking.

When did you start cooking?

Suddenly interested in me?

Forget I asked.

I was just teasing you...

I've been alone since 15.

Back then

I was even poorer.

One day.

I had this craving

for hamburgers.

All I had was five bucks.

I had to live on that

for a week.

Hamburgers sold

at McDonald's for $1.

Hamburgers with only

a bun and patty.

I bought 5 of those and

put them in the fridge.

To eat one every other day.

While chewing on

the cold hamburger,

I suddenly cried.

Because of your shitty situation?

No, because it was unfair.

The world was full of

delicious food to eat.

But nothing tasted better to me

than that cheap hamburger.

That made me cry.

That's why I want to

be a cook.

And I think I'm talented.

I was even accepted to

Le Cordon Bleu.

Le... what?

It's a cooking school in France

where the best chefs go.

I don't even have money

for my plane ticket.

But you never know,

so I'm studying French.

I'm sorry...

I'm really sorry...

But being poor isn't

my fault...

I'm sorry...

It is your fault.

Sorry...

sorry...

sorry...

1 Missed Call - Mom

Hi, Mom.

Take it.

My mom hasn't changed a bit.

Sitting alone in the dark

makes you look shabby.

You could give me a glance.

Leave if you're done.

Don't act like you care.

Treating me like

a barking dog...

ChidO...

I'm tired.

Just leave.

You must be growing old,

being tired and all.

It's going to rain.

Need an umbrella?

I have a car.

No need...

By the way...

You haven't seen the uncles,

have you?

Uncle Tak came to borrow

money again.

He's deep in dept

because of gambling.

He says, "Hi."

Where are you going?

I didn't know you called.

Here.

Stop crying-

What's this every year...

I should use Mom's cup,

but it's broken.

Did you also have a mom?

Don't you?

She must've been good to you.

I killed her.

Here.

You want a drink?

No, I'm okay.

Then go.

I want to be alone.

When?

Clean it up.

Okay.

Yes.

Yes, Mom.

Mom

One, two...

Two corneas, $30K...

- Kidneys, 15... $50K...

- Just a few more days...

- Add it all up, 95 thousand...

- I can pay you...

I'm still useful.

I can pay UP---...

Still don't know Mom?

Mom...

and the family

will be punished.

Punished in hell...

In hell?

Can't make money in hell.

Did you get home all right?

- Park Suk-hyun

ll-young.

What?

Spill it out

to your big sister.

What's going on?

Big sister, my ass...

You're acting strange lately.

Nothing to tell?

Okay.

Let's go to Uncle's

for some fish cakes.

Go to sleep.

Let's go.

Come on, ll-young.

I want to go.

Are you crazy?

Let's go together.

Go up to your bed.

Any new ones?

Have a look.

Look, ll-young!

Isn't it pretty?

Yeah, it is.

You always ruin all the fun.

It's so annoying.

How much is it?

- Ten dollar

- This one's cute.

Can I have a discount?

What is it?

- Nothing... Let's go.

- It's pretty. Come here!

- She'll try this on.

- No, it's okay.

Wow...

It's awesome!

Is it strange?

No, you're really cute.

So pretty-

Hey...

- Don't f*** with me.

- No, you're really cute.

- Il-young, you're pretty.

- Shut up.

Cute little ll-young,

let's buy a pair of high heels

- and even a hairband.

- Knock it off.

Save on Incredible

Flight Deals to France!

ll-young, smile...

Smile!

Never mind.

One, two...

I live in a photo studio,

but can't take a decent picture.

Why do you need

a passport photo?

You want to go abroad?

- Where?

- It's not that.

Is France far away?

What?

Why France all of a sudden?

Never mind.

- I'm going out.

- In this rain?

Well, whatever...

Today let's have

what Park wants.

- What about fried rice?

- Fried rice? Come on...

Ask for steak.

Your father's debt...

$102M.

You have one day.

Borrow it or steal it.

Park Suk-hyun

You're late.

I had something to do.

Need to go back

to the studio?

No.

I'm going somewhere...

You drive.

We're at Sangdo-dong.

Where to?

Park Gitae went off the grid.

We're doing the surgery now.

Body Abandonment Note

Now?

Why?

ls there a problem?

Dr. Ahn.

The steamer and blender

are in the van.

Along with the plastic bags.

Yeah.

About 30 minutes?

I sent Gon somewhere else,

and Hongju's already there.

Okay.

You're doing it today.

Dr. Ahn will dissect it.

Just grind the rest in the blender

and pour it in the drain.

Boil the bones and crush them.

Check the garbage truck schedule.

You need a raincoat.

Blood will splash.

Il-young.

Do you know why

I still keep you with me?

You

don't grow.

You don't even want to grow.

That's why I still keep you.

Hi, ll-young.

Hongju ate his pills.

Want to see?

You're doing the surgery today?

Can you do it?

Hongju.

You're pretty. Very pretty...

- Listen carefully.

- What?

I'll go up first.

- Come up after counting to 100.

- 100.

- Got it?

- Okay.

- Got it? 100!

- 100.

100...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

1, 2...

3, 4, 5...

You're back?

- Mom?

- Went out to work.

Today?

She went to Sangdo-dong.

With n-young?

Think so...

Hey?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

- You have to run away.

- What?

Leave Korea...

- Or you'll die.

- Calm down.

Who's going to kill me?

My mom.

What about my dad?

Don't you understand?

Your dad dumped you.

No, he wouldn't do that.

Wake up and listen to me!

Your shoelace is undone.

I'm not going.

Even if you're right,

I'm still not leaving.

This is my home.

Why do I have to run away?

You...!

I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm not running away.

154...?

What are you doing?

Hongju.

Stay right there.

Park Suk-hyun!

Two corneas, $30K.

- Kidneys, $15K.

- Get in.

Heart, $50K.

Add it all up...

I said stay there!

Damn it!

What's wrong?

You're acting strange.

You're scaring Hongju.

Hongju, listen to me.

Yes, Hongju listens to you.

Hongju brought this for you.

Thanks...

But stay there

for a second.

No, Hongju ate and had his pills

so now Hongju works.

Mom told me to work.

Hongju listens to Mom.

Hongju listens to ll-young.

Hongju listens to Mom.

Hongju is still useful.

Hongju listens to Mom.

Il-young...

This way!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Don't, damn it...!

Let go!
