Mayor Lee.

Mother, where did you go again?

Sorry to bother you again.

I'm worried about your mother.

She crossed the river without any fear.

She's lucky.

North-Koreans send her back safely.

My mother is suffering from dementia.

Let's go and drink inside.

I don't have time.

Please watch over your mother.

If she does that again, it will lead to troubles.

Ok, bye.

Thank you and goodbye.

Thank you for your kind attention.

Yong-ran, it's cold outside, let's get in.

Ok.

Let's start drinking.

No alcohol anymore on credit.

When I have some money, I'll pay.

No, you have to pay for it now!

If you sing, I will pay.

- Really?

- Of course.

When my mother was smiling,

The sun behind the clouds was also smiling.

When my mother was smiling,

Beautiful flowers blossomed.

- What are you doing?

- They don't pay for the drinks.

- Stop, that's enough.

- You, you're a grown-up.

They didn't pay because you're too nice.

Chang-ho, let's go inside.

Hey, you!

I used to drink standing. Today is weird.

Drink slowly and eat

more food at the same time.

Stop, that's enough. Go to bed now.

Thanks to you, I'm having a great evening.

Have a drink!

You know for sure I don't drink.

- You really don't want to drink?

- No.

So sing a song then...

A sailor rowed a boat on the Dooman River

My love was on the boat.

Where is the boat now?

Stop. This song makes me sad.

I will sing cheerful one.

Jang-bak Mountains stained with blood.

Ab-lok River stained with blood.

The blood was for our freedom.

Oh our great general.

General Kim ll-seong.

Chang-ho

chang-ho

chang-ho

If thers is anything you want to eat

help yourself.

Hey, you guys are dating each other, right?

Girl, You have a lot of stamps.

- You can have one.

- Can I, really?

You'll give me back one when you can.

Take off your pants

Grand-father, if she doesn't want to

I can't do anything

I'm sorry.

How come you're

getting out of the warehouse?

I came here a couple of minutes ago

but there's nobody there.

So I took some rice from

your warehouse. Sorry.

Come with me inside.

My sister is waiting. I should hurry up.

Goodbye then.

Grand-father, I took some

rice from the warehouse

- why?

- I gave it to a starving friend.

What are you doing here?

Who do you think the Mayor married?

Why are you saying that?

He's my husband, right?

Why are you saying that?

Do you really love my husband?

How many times did you f*** him?

If you do it again

i'll tear your legs wide open.

Chang-ho, Soon-hee

what happened?

I don't know. I didn't do that.

- Who did this then?

- I have no idea.

Chang-ho

could you count my lambs for me?

I did it already but two are still missing.

Hello.

Is this Soon-hee? It's Mom.

Chang-ho is probably out.

Soon-hee, You miss me a lot?

I miss you very much.

I'm sorry but there is no other way.

I want to live together but I have

to make more money for the whole family.

You must have hard time

Let's get it over

when I will make more money

we will live well like the others.

I know it snowed a lot over there.

Take care of yourself

Tell me

- I shouldn't tell you...

- what's wrong?

I saw your sister having sex with

a North Korean guy.

Hello, Mayor speaking.

I have an important announcement to make.

More and more North Koreans are crossing

the river and harm our people

They stole the bean, the dried fish

the cow and the lambs

The Chinese government

promised a reward for catching refugees

If you find one, you should inform the police.

Change your clothes.

When I was a young girl,

I crossed the Dooman river

while holding my mother's hand.

There was a bridge here back then.

Uncle...

Uncle...

Here comes the Tofu lady...

- How can you live without your father?

- My aunt is coming to take care of us.

All this happened because of North Koreans.

Nothing (bad) happened in our village before

North Koreans are troubling our people.

If a man is really starving

he can sell even his parents;

That concerns definitely North Koreans.

Have some.

This is my friend Chang-ho.

Stop, a**hole

Stop beating him!

He's the one who stole your lambs.

Even if he's a thief

you shouldn't beat him that hard.

How could you eat in my house?

Don't beat him. Why did you do it?

Thank you. I have to go.

My sister said you should bring

back some food to your sister.

I don't need it anymore

she's already dead

Chang-ho, I'm leaving but

I should keep my promise.

Which promise?

You said a soccer game was planned

I'll come back for that.

Jeong-jin brought you a present today

He failed to find a stamp so he brought

this missile. It's difficult to get this too.

What happened between you two?

What should we do for the soccer game?

I'm afraid we might lose again.

We can win.

How?

How is my grand-daughter?

- Who?

- The deaf girl.

Surgery will be very simple

don't worry.

- Take good care of her.

- Yes, I will.

Soccer game is scheduled for this afternoon.

We should win. We can win.

Jeong-jin, play with us.

Hey, Kwang-chun

pass me the ball!

You are not the only player,

you, bastard! Hurry up!

Pass me the ball!

Hurry up!

You, son of b*tch! I'll kill you!

Let him go.

- Come down to us.

- Come down quickly, my boy.

Chang-ho!

Why did you say she was deaf?

- What do you mean?

- Why did you lie?

Chang-ho!

Chang-ho!

Chang-ho!
