You have to wear it

all the time.

You'll only take it off

to wash your face.

I'll wash you real quick,

then well put it back on.

Keep it on

when you sleep.

And when you eat, okay?

I'll help you with everything.

Why?

It'll help you get better soon.

But I'm not sick.

KlM Hyo-suk, you b*tch!

What have we here?

Huh? You think you can just

run away and start over?

How long did you plan this?

You got a new husband too?

We'll settle this

after I eat.

Goddamn it.

I'm all drenched.

Wrapping him up

won't make him human.

You little bastard.

Your father is

talking to you, boy.

I should just rip out those eyes.

F***ing hilarious.

Motherly instincts, eh?

Try caring about your husband

for a change!

Get over here!

You little b*tch!

I can't stand

the sight of you two!

You little b*tch!

No! Stop!

Stop what?

It's hard.

Isn't it?

It's too much...

...for me, too.

So,

Let's just stop.

Okay?

Why do my own parents

want to kill me?

201 0

It's not my fault that

I was born this way.

Being different from

everyone else

None of you could ever

understand how it feels.

And I have no desire

to become one of you.

You may see me as

a limping freak of nature.

But its the only thing

I can depend on.

The very ability which

makes me a monster.

How long will you be staying?

I'm not sure.

For this much, at least.

Room 1 407, sir.

HAUNTERS:

- Kyu-nam!

- Hey!

Hey! Someone here didn't give me

their lunch tickets!

Who is it?

- Did you give her the ticket?

- I did.

It's him again.

He's paying now.

Idiot.

Let's just eat.

Look at how dedicated he is.

I bet he'll go to

heaven for sure.

Don't you think so?

You can't go to heaven

just by praying.

What day is it today?

Isn't it Thursday?

It's Friday, you idiot.

Then it's the weekend.

Are you guys...

excited?

- Hell yeah!

- Hell yeah!

Hey, wake up.

Get up.

I'm going home.

You must be tired.

- Put some gas in tomorrow.

- Okay.

- And don't be late.

- We won't.

- See you tomorrow.

- Bye guys.

Kyu-nam!

Happy birthday.

Weekend birthdays are

exhausting.

You know I love you, man.

Happy birthday.

You didn't have to...

Thanks.

It's a miracle

you're still alive.

But still...

Good thing you're

recovering so quickly.

It's all the nurses are

talking about.

Really?

I think

I hear wedding bells.

You know what they say.

Men face three crises

in their lifetime.

And you just had one.

So theres two left.

He has that many left?

Let me finish.

Think closely for a second.

Did you ever

get really sick?

Or lose all of your savings?

Something like that.

Oh, I know!

You lent Thomas money

and he just ran away.

I just...

I just gave it to him.

No, that was a crisis.

You got diarrhea from eating

instant noodles for a month.

That's a major crisis.

so that's two.

And the boss said

you're fired.

That's three.

So you're done with

all the crises now.

Congratulations.

I'm thirty-three.

Just turned thirty-three.

You're done hiring?

Okay.

Thanks anyway.

JOB LlSTlNGS

'No experience needed'

'Healthy males'

'Utopia'

UTOPlA

Anyone here?

How can I help you?

I'm LlM Kyu-nam.

I called earlier.

No family.

Seven years

at a junkyard?

I had other jobs before,

but I didn't write it down.

- They were short-term.

- I see.

Hold on.

Give me one second.

Hello?

Sergeant LEE?

It's CHOl from Utopia.

I was just wondering

Well...

Can you look someone up for me?

I'll give you

his social security number.

780521...

No, it's 21...

My goddamn eyes...

I can't see well

these days.

14...

It's 1404640.

1404...

640!

You're clean.

Don't take it personally.

It's just standard procedure.

For job interviews and all.

What a pretty young fellow.

What do you think

life is about?

Life?

It's just living

until you die.

Yes, you just keep living

until you die.

Turn your head this way.

And the other way.

Should we get you started,

Manager LlM?

Manager?

You'll start as manager

and work your way up.

That's life, isn't it?

This is where we bargain

with our customers.

You see that?

In the right corner.

No, over there.

That's the key to

our security system.

A CCTV camera.

I paid good money for it.

It's connected to the TV

in the other room.

It records everything.

And when you don't think

it's enough,

you just press this,

and fry him.

That's about it.

What exactly do you do here?

Huh? Well, we deal with...

money...

Let's call it finance.

But the most important thing is

Money disappeared

in front of me.

But I can't remember a thing.

Look at this.

Look at how I wrote

everything down.

This is my entire life.

But something has gone missing.

Manager LlM.

Someone was here.

Something was definitely here.

That's why I got

the security camera.

But it's not enough.

Watching the video doesn't help.

It won't bring the money back.

That's why I'd like you to...

This is my daughter.

Say hello.

He's starting tomorrow...

Yes, sir.

This is our Manager LlM.

Nice to meet you.

I'm LlM Kyu-nam.

I'm Rachael Young Samantha.

She's CHOl Young-suk.

Good morning.

You're early.

Dad will be here soon.

Would you like some?

Bubblegum!

Haven't had this in a while.

'lm just helping him out for now.

I see.

I'm training to become

a flight attendant.

A stewardess.

Kyu-nam, over here!

- Here?

- Yeah, right there.

Is the cockroach bait still there?

No.

Then put one there.

Okay.

And put one over here, too.

No problem.

Let's get lunch.

Yes, sir.

Why are there

so many cockroaches?

Hi, this is...

Yes, for three.

Yeah? What?

Hold on.

- Sir.

- Yes?

Can some of my old

co-workers stop by?

We don't have any customers.

Not now,

but we might.

Tell them to come.

Yeah.

All right.

Theyre coming now, sir.

Did they eat?

Delivery.

Over here, please.

- Kyu-nam!

- Bubba! Al!

Let me cover the table first.

Hello.

It's easy to find, isnt it?

Good thing

you didn't get lost.

Hello.

Sir, this is Bubba Evobonsha

and Al Shavari.

Hey, you forgot

one of our orders.

We didn't mean to bother you

during lunch. I'm sorry, sir.

It's fine.

You speak Korean so well.

Where are you from?

Ghana.

Ghana?

You're a long way from home.

It's just a stones throw away.

This guy speaks Korean

better than I do.

No, I wouldn't go that far.

I just picked it up as I kept living here.

Thank you again for lunch, sir.

Thats all right.

It was nothing, really.

Where are you from?

Im from Turkey, sir.

Turkey? It must be hard living

so far away from home.

You made it big.

I'm just starting out.

I'll make

general manager soon.

Then I'll get a raise

and go again from there.

Thats life, isnt it?

He promoted you

on your first day?

Wait, what's this?

Michael LlM?

They must do lots of

international business.
