You guys,

do you know what's inside that

power plant?

What? What?

A robot.

A really big robot.

That's crazy, you idiot.

It's not a robot. It's a rice cooker.

Who said so?

My brother said so.

There's a really big rice cooker.

They use the cooking water to

make electricity.

Hey, why would they have

such a big rice cooker?

Where is it?

That's right!

My brother said,

because of that rice cooker,

we can enjoy life.

Thanks to it, our country will

be rich soon.

It's a wonderful rice cooker.

That's not right.

Our teacher said,

what was it again?

She said it was like a box.

If it were ever opened, evil

would come out.

What evil? There's no way.

It's a good thing.

You'll see.

-=Pandora=-

Uncle! Uncle!

Get up!

Grandma says she'll kill you if

you don't get up quickly.

Let her kill me. Let her kill me.

Grandma, Uncle won't get up!

- Be quiet.

- Let me go!

Get out here before I beat you!

I'm up. I'm up.

If you have eyes, then look!

It's been packed since early

this morning.

Are you an important official,

sleeping until now?

-Some bowls of rice over here!

- Okay.

Be careful or I'll smash it.

Get out here and eat.

You're not a son.

You're an enemy.

Hurry and eat. Eat.

Aren't you off today?

I am off.

But,

seeing me so excited wakes

you up, doesn't it?

Go out and get a job. What

are you doing staying home?

You're all so pitiful.

Just to earn a little money,

your eyes are so red.

Brother-in-law, please eat.

Your stomach will feel better.

Sister-in-law, you're unbelievable.

Why didn't you give us any?

I'm sorry.

There's only enough food to

feed my brother-in-law.

Sister-in-law!

=Moving quickly,=

=his 5-day visit to four Middle

East nations is over. This morning...=

That man is always traveling.

Isn't it to energize the national

economy?

He's a hard-working young man.

What?

Are you crazy?

Last night you went to a club

to pick up girls, didn't you?

Then you went out drinking at

a street stall.

I just drank a bit.

I went straight home afterward.

It's true!

You are dead today.

Auntie, I'm going.

Why?

I thought you were going to

break his legs.

Wait until after work.

- Eonni, work hard.

- Take care.

Here.

The road ahead is looking

pretty dark.

I'm in a bad mood today.

I'm not feeling great, either.

Can I just take a day off?

Today, should you and I...

have it out?

Should we have it out?

Should we end it?

I understand!

Min Jae, come quickly! Your

uncle's going to hit someone.

Sister-in-law!

We want to live in a world free

of a nuclear threat!

Stop nuclear power plant

operation!

Stop operation! Close the

nuclear power plant!

Oh, these guys! Seriously.

Seriously. This has gone on for

several days.

This really sucks. When can

we get in?

Get out of the way!

Don't tell me none of you

need electricity?

You all live comfortably thanks

to whom? Still you cause trouble.

Hurry and get out of the way!

All of you need to wake up!

Is it okay to earn your money

this way?

If you don't close it very soon,

we're all going to die!

You've been saying that for

years now!

Stop all the nonsense and get

out of the way!

Ajussi!

Just drive through!

What did you say?

You're going in?

You'll have to step on all of us

to go inside!

Everybody, lie down!

Lie down! Lie down!

Why are you all doing this?

The bus is here. The bus is here.

Aigoo, seriously.

What happened this time?

Don't mention it. Those bastards.

Today, they were lying right

on the street in front of us.

We should have squashed them.

They deserve to be flattened.

You've all worked hard.

- Hyeongnim, you can go home.

- Okay, okay.

Hey kid,

you don't even say hello to

your father?

You've worked hard.

See. See. Aigoo.

All of you have been drinking

again.

Just a little.

What do you mean by just

a little?

How can you come to work

like this?

Work, yeah right.

I just do odd jobs.

You brat.

Don't eat well!

After you eat, change your

underwear.

Wash up and take a nap.

Aigoo, why didn't Heaven take

him away,

instead of taking away my wife?

Aigoo, such is my fate.

You might as well hurry and die.

You're always talking like that.

You shouldn't say that.

How can you tell him to die,

you disloyal son.

You must still be drunk.

- How can he go on like this?

- Right.

Atomic power generation

relies on nuclear fission creating

heat, which produces steam.

That steam turns a turbine,

which produces electricity.

To put it simply,

an atom is like firewood

in a stove.

The steam-maker is like the

water in a rice cooker.

This is one way to explain it.

Atomic power generation,

compared to fuels which will be

exhausted in the near future,

such as petroleum, coal, or

other combustible fuel,

the only alternative energy.

Moreover, it can prevent the

use of flammable fuel,

global warming, acid rain, and

other environmental damage.

It's an environmentally friendly

power source.

Also, it is a highly efficient

energy industry that uses only

a small amount of raw materials.

In addition,

with a seismic resistance

rating of level 7,

sturdy, earthquake-resistant

equipment,

layers of security measures to

prevent accidents,

coupled with a thorough

security and monitoring system,

the risk of accidents is zero.

Everyone's daily life is very

convenient.

Behind this comfortable life,

is a nuclear power station where

the lights will never go out.

Please remember this.

It's funny, isn't it?

A sign of the apocalypse.

Just look.

Is this a place where people

should live?

This place, before that thing came,

was poor, but still a decent

place to live.

But look at it now.

There's no fishing. You can't fish.

Tourists have also disappeared

and there is no development.

The village people are divided

and argue every day.

All because of that thing!

But still, thanks to it, we have

a life now.

My mom is also grateful to

that thing.

Without it,

would we die of hunger?

Not really, but still...

This is the problem. This.

Are you all happy living like this?

Who has to be happy?

You only need to live, right?

Foolish bastards.

That's why we have no future!

All of you should just live like this.

As for me, I can't do that.

I don't think now is the time to

worry about your future.

Just say you haven't seen me.

Yeon Ju! Yeon Ju!

Yeon Ju!

Geez, that girl.

Damn it.

I've told you so many times to

buy a new one.

With what money? I don't even

have stockings to wear.

Why throw it out if it's

perfectly good?

What's perfectly good?

Just like people, machines also

have a life span.

If you're not careful, you might

have to walk.

Be quiet.

I'll just drive slowly.

Are you afraid people won't

know you work at the power plant?

That's how you act.

How many times do you have

to fall before you wake up?
