Laugh and the world laughs with you

Weep and you weep alone

My home is gone

I can't call either

my friend or relatives

Since I'm the one who murdered my wife

Since I'm a fugitive

Really Come on, you will lose

Yeah, I agree You little piece of sh*t

You dickshit!

Dickshit...

Never heard of it

Since the TV doesn't

teach you curse words

Can imaginary training

for 15 years be put to use?

It can

Oplegnathus fasciatus

Lives in the warm waters

of coastal reefs

A fish with weak reflexes

but can resist unyieldingly

once it's caught in a hook

In Kyungsang Province its offspring...

What's this smell?

Don't even think about

asking me any questions

I don't know a thing

Yes?

I said I want

something alive

Oh, right

Long time no see This is my first time

Maybe not? But she looks familiar

You look very familiar

Have I seen you somewhere?

"Searching for the Best Chefs"

"On Ch 11 every Thursday at 6:30"

"The youngest female

chef of Japanese food"

Oh that?

They said the ratings are

low but I guess it's popular

Women's hands are usually

warm so they can't make sushi

Wow, you sure do know a lot

Who are you?

Do you like your clothes?

Why...

Why did you imprison me?

Who do you think I am?

Yoo Heungsam? Wrong

Did Lee Soyoung hire

you? No, wrong again

Lee Jongyong?

Kang Changsuk?

Hwang Jooyeun? Kim Nasung? Park Ji woo?

Im Dukyoon? Lee Jaepyung? Kuk

Suran? Who the hell are you?

Me? I'm sort of a scholar

And my major is you

A scholar studying Oh

Daesu An expert on Oh Daesu

Who I am isn't important

Why is important

Think it over Review your whole lifetime

Since school is over it's

time for your homework Right?

Keep this in mind

"Be it a grain of sand or rock,

in water they sink as the same"

Let me ask you one thing

You hypnotized me in there didn't you?

What did you do to me?

I miss you... Hurry and come to me

Here you are

It's alive, right?

I'll slice it up now

I must be a different breed of

women My hands are very cold, you see

What's with her?

Sir

Sir

Keep this in mind

"Be it a grain of sand or rock,

in water they sink as the same"

Awake now?

Is this true?

That fever remedy really works

Why'd you faint if you trained so much?

A lack of needed sunlight

depletes you of vitamins A and E

So I'm not immune to influenza

Do you usually talk that way?

The bathroom door is

broken and doesn't lock

Don't get any bright ideas

Or else I'll slice you like sushi

What's this?

Suppositories

How else could I feed you

medicine if you fainted?

Can imaginary training

for 15 years be put to use?

It can't

That was very bad of me

After bringing you

here and rejecting you,

I understand why you're mad

I do

I brought you here

because I like you, too

But...

You even don't know my name

I'm Mido

You see

Later

When I'm really ready later,

I swear on my life that I will

That song, "The Face I Miss"

in your diary, That's the sign

When I sing it

then get yourself ready

When it actually happens...

I could resist again at

the heat of the moment

But no matter what don't ever back out

Just give it to me!

Give it

to me?

The ants...

Do you still see them?

Do you still feel that way?

Yeah, if you're alone you see the ants

Very lonely people that I met

they all hallucinated ants at one time

After I thought about it

ants move around in groups

you know So I guess very lonely

people keep thinking about ants

Even though I never did

She called from overseas

five or six years ago

asking if her dad showed up

She doesn't even know

that he killed her mother

Since she has few relatives she calls us

Her Korean has gotten bad

I think her foster

parents are both doctors

Anyhow, Miss Reporter

Daesu really hasn't been caught yet?

Your daughter's address is on the front and

on the back is a map to your wife's grave

Eva...

Stockholm... Eva...

Do you want to call her?

Want me to call her?

Wanna go to the grave together?

No, after I kill

that bastard first

Blue Dragon Is it right?

I haven't chewed it yet

Blue Dragon So?

Is that the taste?

Be it 10 or 100 restaurants

it doesn't matter

I can never forget that taste

for 15 years, Blue Dragon

Want me to make you an ID to log in?

Do you have a favorite movie or song?

I talked to him

The Count of Monte Cristo?

There's no one by that name here

How's life in a bigger prison Oh Daesu?

Who are you?

Who are you?

The lonely prince in the

high tower, Don't forget me

Who's this bastard?

I don't know him I just

chat with him sometimes

And talk about sushi, too

Where are you going?

Where are you going? I can't trust you

Magic Blue Dragon

Magic Blue Dragon! What could that mean?

Why the hell did they order

from a restaurant this far away?

I've gone by five Chinese

restaurants already

My lungs feel like exploding

Tell your cooks to put

less scallions in the dumplings

Sure

Set it down and go Okay

We don't work on anyone

being protected by bodyguards

There are other people

who specialize in that

You can hire them

We just work on the small fries

If it's over six months

transportation fee is free

Yes, of course

Why'd you lock me up, you...

Dickshit

In our 7.5 floor business,

our clients' info is top secret

I'm going to pay you

back for all 15 years

Each one I yank out will

make you age one year

Ready to talk?

I don't know

I didn't see his face

I recorded it

AB blood types raise your hand

Go, he lost a lot of blood

Damn, look at him Is he dead?

You little piece of sh*t... Damn

Hey, you piece of sh*t!

Go, motherf***er! Get the f*** out!

Hey, fuckface!

What, you f***ed up son of a b*tch!

Just kill him damn a**hole

F***ing goddamn a**hole!

I'm almost done Stay still

As expected

I can't get along today either

I've now

become a monster

When my vengeance is over,

can I return as the old Daesu?

Mister, are you alright?

Look at all this blood

Mister, what happened to you?

Saewoon Apartments

in Eung am, building 8

Please take care of him

Thank you Not at all

Well, then...

Farewell Oh Daesu

Farewell Oh Daesu

Oh Daesu

Farewell

Farewell

Any bastard you hate,

but can't dare to kill

Any b*tch you detest,

but want more than kill

We are at your service

Wouldn't he go crazy if he's

locked up for a long time?

Well, if you prefer he doesn't

we can mix drugs into his drink

Ristedal Solution

It's a well trusted drug

used to treat schizophrenia

Well, the duration is important

so how long will he... 15 years

Too long? What did he do?

Oh Daesu, you see

talks too much

Go to sleep

Time to visit Joo hwan at

the Internet cafe tomorrow

Sit wherever you'd like

Joo hwan

Oh Daesu, you see

talks too much

Have you heard this voice before?

Is there anyone who hates me this much?

I don't know all the 260 names

of your women's husbands

Who's Mido? This girl

who cries over nothing

Joo hwan

Did I

really talk too much?

My friend,

I'd like for you

to find that criminal

among people you're close to
