OK.

Turn on the ignition now.

Well, that should do it.

- Good work.

- No, no. That's OK.

It's an honor just to meet you

like this. Take care now.

Oh, Mr. Director.

Can you give me an autograph?

Lee Jong-sae

Thank you.

Hey!

- Help, robbers!

- Stop!

It's the bank robbers!

Stop!

Stop right there!

He's dead.

The train will be here

in 30 minutes.

Well, I'll get

to Haeundae beach after all.

Hey, fat man!

Stop cracking your eggs

like that.

And look at all these shells.

I bet he ate over twenty.

Give me a cigarette.

Give me a cigarette.

He's totally out of it.

So why did you have to shoot,

you stupid lout?

Now you're going to be

in death row for sure.

What do we do

when we get to Busan?

We sneak out to Japan,

and go to Mexico

with fake passports.

Then we cross the border

to the US, go to Hollywood,

and the genius

Lee Jong-sae's dream

will finally come true.

That's it!

Hey, Do-seok.

We're finally going

to Hollywood.

You'll probably be there

in three day's time.

Boys be ambitious!

Men should have ambitious to fulfill.

We'll make a movie that

will surprise the world there.

Lee Jong-sae will be

a world-famous director.

And Oh Sun-young and Moon Do-seok

will be superstars.

Well, you can dream

all you want.

I'm laying low at Haeundae

before going back home.

Just tell the cops that Oh Sun-young

is dead, if you get caught.

Tell her I committed suicide

by drawing from all the guilt.

That goes for you too, fatso.

- Got that?

- Oh, OK...

Don't forget to look me up

when you become a star.

- Where are you going now?

- Bathroom.

Is this the police?

I have something to tell you.

It's the fire station?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is this the police?

I have something to tell you.

Do I get shot

if I kill someone?

I didn't mean to,

but it just happened.

No... no. I'm not that guy.

Yeah... I'm just an accomplice.

Where am I?

A small train station.

It's on the way to Busan.

I can't turn myself

in right now.

I'll call you back

after three days.

Oh, boy.

It's so hot today.

A perfect day

for skinny-dipping.

Should we go for some

whale meat at the market,

or shouldn't we?

Do-seok, do you speak

any English?

English?

You'll need to do everything in English

once we're in Hollywood.

From eating to going to

the bathroom.

Hello, give me some fried chicken.

Get me to a bathroom!

We're really going

to America, right?

We will be eating steak

in Beverly Hills in three days.

It's over.

The cops are here.

What? Cops?

What do we do now, Mr. Director?

First, we have to stay calm.

Uh, sir...? Maybe we should

give ourselves up.

Give me just 30 seconds

to think of something.

Stop mumbling and run!

Lee Jong-sae.

You are completely surrounded.

Drop your weapons

and surrender.

If you surrender, it will be

taken into account in court.

Again, you should surrender

of your own accord.

Then the law will take

that into account.

Give up now.

Your life will be

at risk if you resist.

It is not too late.

Lay down your weapons

and surrender.

I will repeat

that one more time.

Hey, Do-seok.

Slap me in the face.

Since it didn't hurt,

this has to be a dream.

I knew a genius like me

won't go this easily.

There is no way my master

piece born out of

labor of many a sleepless

nights can fade away

in a compartment of

a scrap passenger train.

I knew genius's die early,

but I am not going to.

Do-seok, you go out

and make a breakthrough.

I'll lay down covering fire

for you in the back,

I'll meet you on Pier #2

at 22:
00 hours. Good luck.

No. I'm surrendering.

Don't you want to be

a world-famous star?

Liar.

I liked being a barber.

I'm surrendering.

Just figure out how to die

with some dignity, stupid.

You think they're

going to let you live?

A robber who shot someone dead?

No. They said they'd give me

a special pardon.

So, it was you who ratted us out.

Wasn't it, you fatso?

Don't call me fat!

It's all because of you,

you liar.

I...

My life was good, and you lied

to me about being a star.

I had an operation

because of you.

My eyes still hurt,

and my shop is gone now.

I never missed a single

reserve training.

I got a district supervisor's award

as a model citizen.

I'm... I'm giving myself up.

Moon Do-seok.

I can forgive you

for surrendering.

I can even forgive you

for insulting me.

But I can never forgive betrayal

of the oath you swore to me.

You and I will settle

this with a duel.

We will take ten steps

after we start walking.

Then we turn around and shoot.

We need to have a referee,

and Sun-young will be it.

I'll be counting to ten.

All right.

OK. Go.

One... two... three... four... five...

Six... seven... eight... nine...

You're nuts!

You're crazy.

You're all crazy.

I wish this was a dream...

all a dream.

Maybe everything we see...

is but a dream of a moment.

Or are we seeing a dream

within a dream.

These damned flies.

Just read some overseas topics,

some guy in France

threatened to crash

into the control tower

with his Cessna.

He was asked why,

and he said it was personal.

Well, the world is

a weird place, you know.
