Failan Page #3

Synopsis: After losing both her parents, Failan (Cecilia Cheung) emmigrates to Korea to seek her only remaining relatives. Once she reaches Korea, she finds out that her relatives have moved to Canada well over a year ago. Desperate to stay and make a living in Korea, Failan is forced to have an arranged marriage through a match-making agency. Kang Jae (Choi Min Shik) is an old and outdated gangster who has no respect from his peers. Short on money, Kang Jae decides to take on the arranged marriage. Having nothing more than a picture of Kang Jae, Failan spends her days dreaming and wishing that Kang Jae would come to visit her. Failan often writes to Kang Jae in sorrow about how much she misses and thinks about him, but never has the nerve to give the letters to Kang Jae. Things take a turn when Kang Jae is asked by his boss to take the fall for a murder in exchange for some money. The only hope in his worthless life is the wife he never met.

Do you think this is a

blood donation center?

No, please have a seat

Don't give me sh*t!

Hey! Hey, please!

What do you want me to do now?

She's sick!

She coughed up blood

I don't know... looks like some

contagious disease

Sh*t. I'm really out of luck

It wouldn't have mattered if she

coughed it up after the deal

But she did it right in front of him

How could I cheat on him right then?

What? Which agency?

Okay, give them a call first. All right?

You don't know how hard laundry is

How such a fragile girl can do the work?

I guarantee it

You can't find anyone like this girl

You're really lucky, lady

In the past I washed many clothes.

I am good at riding bicycle

What did she say?

See? She says she was

a pro laundress in China

She can ride a bicycle too

But we can't even communicate

You don't need much talk

After I left home, I will work very hard

She'll do whatever you

order. You are so lucky!

Work hard. Don't slack off

Lady, don't give her a break

Don't say that

Good bye

Good bye

It's cold. Come on in

Thank you for your present

What did she say?

Thank you for the scarf

Hey, tell her that it's a wedding present

from her husband

This scarf is given to you by your

husband. You should thank him

You speak Chinese well

When I was young, I had a business there

She has a disease or something, right?

Nonsense!

It's small but good for one person

And tell me if you need anything

What can I tell her? This is frustrating

Good morning

Hi

Uh. Hi!

Oh my god! You're a walking

washing machine

How could you wash all these with

such a thin body?

Laundry...!

Good. Welcome!

"Welcome"

Ha ha... Thank you!

"Thank you!"

Ha ha... Did you have dinner?

Did yi o dinor?

Ha ha ha... I can't help it!

Did you have dinner?

Did yio dinor?

How can I have her work?

I can't do this any more. I quit

Thank you!

Laundry...!

Why'd she come here?

Her dying mom gave her a note to find

her aunt here

But her aunt has gone to Canada

She has no one there

What could she do?

F***ed up so she decided

to earn money here

Her writing is a total mess unlike her

pretty face

To Lee Kangjae?

It looks like she really took you for

her husband

Dear Mr. Kangjae

Thank you for marrying me

Thank you

Because you married me,

I am able to work here

Everyone's kind to me

I want to keep working here

Everybody's kind,

but you're the kindest of all

Because you married me

I sincerely thank you

Where should we go first?

To the job agency

We need some information about her

Pull over, please

Why?

Even though it's all fake,

I can't go there like this

What?

Why? Am I wrong?

Oh my god!

Thanks to you two.

Now I can be rest assured

Let's have a drink

Because of that b*tch,

I'm in this trouble now

I should've helped her then

Have some more

No, thanks

Well. That b*tch came to me a month

before she died

Do you know what she said?

She said that she was sick

She looked all right to me

As you know, I'm no doctor

And besides, she owes me lots of money

How could she be sick

without my permission?

It's cold

Isn't he a f***ing bastard?

If it was his own daughter,

could he still talk that way?

There are so many bastards in the world

Hey, he looks exactly like you.

You know that?

You're like brothers

Sh*t. Stop it!

Born in 1978... Let's see

She's only 23, 24 years old

What a pity at such a young age!

Thank you for marrying me

You're the kindest of all

Good night

You're really making this hard for me

It's warm in here

The cell is so damn cold

Husband. Lee Kangjae.

Occupation. A real hoodlum

A kind idiot who goes

to prison for his friend

Wife is a dead b*tch

who died so pitifully...

You are pathetic and I am too!

What a perfect match we are...

Why are you hassling her?

I'm just checking if she's

legally married or not. That's all.

Your husband's name?

Lee Kangjae... Lee Kangjae

What's his occupation?

He's in Inchon

He's a sailor

So he's busy

Even if he's that busy.

What kind of a husband

never visits his wife?

They're all bastards who make life hard

for their wives

She is a hard-working girl

Just leave her alone

Go on. Now!

Husband LEE Kangjae

Wife KANG Failan

The mountain is beautiful

The sea is beautiful, too

I want to see

Dear Mr. Kangjae

Failan!

It's me. Don't you remember me?

Hello

Now you can speak Korean well

Failan, aren't you sick any more?

You've got a bit thin

She's really making you work hard, huh?

She's kind. Everyone's kind

I thank Mr. Kangjae

Why should you thank

Kangjae? For marrying you?

Well he thanks you too

He wants to see you

He wants to see me?

Yeah. He f***ing misses you a lot

Fu...?

F***ing means... It means...

Anyway, he f***ing misses you

Oh, sh*t! That bastard...

Hey, I'll come back later

Let's do some art together at the beach!

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep...

Why do we get off here?

Let's get some air here

Sh*t! F***ing crazy...

It's freezing cold. F***!

Now what?

Hey! Isn't it good? Wow!

Don't go in there! It's dangerous!

The ice will break

Come on, you chicken!

What did I tell you? Hey, man! Hey!

That's not how you skate

You don't know a thing

Watch me now!

Ready! Go!

Oh. Home, sweet home!

Hurry up! Will you?

There won't be any problem, right?

When your wife's dead

why would they look you up let alone

consoling you?

Are you a criminal?

You always feel uncomfortable

with cops, right?

Hey... You go in alone

Am I Failan's husband? Why should I?

Do I have to cry?

That's a bit exaggerating but

you should look sad

Hurry up!

All right! Wait!

I'm freezing!

Let's go in!

Who's the husband?

I am

Do you have your ID?

I forgot to bring it in such a hurry

But I brought this instead

Her social security number is...

You even memorize your wife's number?

Husband LEE Kangjae

Wife KANG Failan

She died the day before yesterday, right?

Yes...

Since we were apart for a long time

I didn't know she was ill so...

If she had told me, I could...

That'll be all.

That's all? Can we go now?

What do you mean?

Let's go

What do you mean by that?

Hey, let's go

I meant that the process is over

so you can go now

Okay. I see

But wait!

Why is it that simple when

a person had just died?

Isn't it strange?

What do you think you're doing?

I'm not doing anything, but...

What the hell is he doing? Hey!

We're sorry

What did you say?

Is she your wife or what?

It's over. Just get out of here!

I don't want to stay here either

He's just very upset. Sorry, sir

Ah, am I a criminal or what?

Hey, who the hell do you

think you are, huh?

Why are you so pissed off?

Is she really your wife?

Legally, yes

Jesus, you're really losing your mind

Anyway, I don't know what the

hell's got into Yongsik

He asked me to say hello to you

Anything else?

Just give him a call

Take this!

You should move this

Don't touch

How may I help you?

Sir!

What is it?

I can tell who's the loser

Right

Do it quickly

I'm sick

What?

I'm very sick
