Moss Page #7

Synopsis: A mysterious person calls a young man and informs him that his estranged father has died in a country village. The curious son travels to the town to discover what happened. From there out the audience is led on a thrilling and hauntingly atmospheric journey into the history of the father and the truth about his relationship to the threatening and violent locals. The film is 2h40m, long even for Korean standards, but it is the magically haunting and at the same time threatening atmosphere in the film that sustains the audience interest.

l found people kill and die

for stupid reasons.

So, for what stupid reason

did you kill my father!

Young-ji?

Put the damn knife away.

Stay still!

You're still talking about that?

Fool!

Why would l kill RYU Mok-young?

For what?

Don't think l could handle him

like all the others? Me?

You're saying he died on his own?

He just died!

Cuz he was old!

What a laugh!

Put the gun down!

Yup. That is funny.

Mr. CHUN Yong-duk!

You're under arrest for assaulting

KlM Deok-chun.

We'll deal with

your other crimes later.

You did your homework.

Where's the warrant?

There's an emergency arrest

in Criminal Procedure Law.

lf you have a criminal record

longer than 3 years.

Or if you did something that's

reason enough for imprisonment.

Or if you try to run or destroy

evidence we can skip the warrant.

There's no way Commissioner KlM

approved of this!

Search through Commissioner KlM's

office and house at dawn.

Yes, sir.

l'd shut my mouth

if l were you.

l'll bring down

all your buddies!

You know it's nothing

without any proof.

Let's start with assaulting

KlM Deok-chun!

You got proof?

Blackmail.

Show me the evidence!

Bribery!

l said show me the proof!

Search the closet

in the store's main bedroom.

There are old documents

and other evidence.

Get everything.

Report to me when you're done.

l repeat!

Search the closet

in the store's main bedroom!

Get all the evidence now!

Young-ji...

What the!

Who's there?

Sh*t.

What's that sound?

Some cop lit up a gas can

and set the store on fire!

Get the bastard!

He's burning inside, too!

lt's the Chiefs son!

Father!

His son's dying!

That bastard!

lt'll be harder to miss

from here.

Let's go.

Everything went up in flames.

Why should l go?

Right?

You have nothing on me!

Worry about yourself.

Son of a...

Say it!

Tell me about my father!

You sure you can handle it?

The man who was the beginning

and the end to this town!

Think you can handle it?

Ever heard of

Sam-deok Prayer House?

Director PARK!

Who did this?

RYU...Mok...hyung...

RYU Mok-hyeong?

You're lying!

l heard from Mr. RYU

and even witnessed something.

What the hell!

You were too young

to remember anything!

l was old enough

and remember clearly.

Why'd you come out so soon?

They're all busy praying.

Let's say goodbye later.

- Let's go!

- Okay.

Mr. RYU?

Did you go to the prayer house?

Ah, no.

There's a present there for you.

What present?

A token of my appreciation

for meeting someone like you.

- Mr. RYU!

- Yes?

l...

Ah... nothing.

l just remembered something.

lf what you say is true,

l was going to kill myself.

Know what l mean?

But why would my dad

hide a mass murder?

Because he did it!

lf the Chief didn't do it,

it's possible Mr. RYU did.

ln the name of judgment.

What are you doing!

Accomplice awareness?

Mr. RYU felt guilty every time

he saw the Chief.

Who says l killed them!

l was a detective back then!

l can hear it in your voice.

Let's go in.

You can't take me in

without any evidence!

Make the most precious

thing common!

Mr. RYU said to leave it

just anywhere.

What are you saying?

There's more evidence?

Talk! Or l swear l'll rip it

out of you!

Where everything is kept

in our town.

lt's all there.

The warehouse!

Search it!

Handle all documents carefully.

Collect everything

even the garbage!

lt's here, sir!

Old accounts and

stamped documents!

Pledges with thumb prints in blood!

lt's all here!

The world you built

crumbled as of today!

What do you have left to protect?

ls that what you want?

Fine!

Let's fight this with the law.

Let's go!

l'll do it. But!

What is it?

Didn't you see ex-presidents?

l'll get dressed properly first.

Wait outside.

No!

What are you trying to pull!

Why?

Think l'll kill myself?

Crazy?

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

l'll give you 5 minutes.

lf you pull anything,

we'll shoot you down.

Got that?

For men like him,

it's like wearing armor

before a war.

But l still don't know

how my father died.

The Chief is right.

What?

Mr. RYU died on his own.

What?

So you'd come.

What did he want

from me coming here?

Everything you did till now.

Everything l did?

Bring judgment he couldn't.

You wanna fight?

Think you can bring me down?

To get to me...

You'll have to dust

the whole country!

God damn it!

Mr. RYU Hae-guk!

Hello, Prosecutor PARK.

Congratulations.

Heard you're going to Seoul.

Thanks.

Congratulations to you, too.

Excuse me?

lt's great that nothing happened

to you so far, isn't it?

l guess you're right.

See? We're communicating.

lsn't that nice?

You didn't do anything wrong.

You wanted me to say that, right?

l just did.

Thank you.

No need. You're not so bad.

Just a little weird sometimes.

l'm going to visit Dad.

Why? lt's not a special day.

Guess l owe him a lot.

Have a good trip.

Let's have drinks sometimes.

Sure. l'll call you.

You've been a big help.

Thanks again.

We just need to finish up

building that area.

- Hurry it up, please.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Thank you.

- Sure ma'am.

Hello?

Mr. RYU Hae-guk?

Yes. Who's calling, please?

Mr. RYU Mok-hyeong

has passed away.

What?

Shouldn't you come?
