Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
I'm a good person. I'm a hard worker.
My older sister is the only family I have.
To put me through art school...
she gave up college
and got a job at a factory.
But then she fell seriously ill,
and had to quit.
So I gave up art school and got a job.
But recently I made a decision.
I'm not sure whether to tell my sister
or not.
I'm hesitating even as I write this letter.
If I decide to do it...
I'll be listening to the broadcast
with my sister.
I can't speak with my mouth.
I'm deaf and dumb.
Please read this letter to my sister for me,
since I can't.
Sis, you're listening?
You told me if you die...
you want to be buried by the river
where we used to play.
All right, I'll do that.
But that'll be in 40 or 50 years' time.
I'm going to save you.
Really, I swear.
Actually,
I registered to donate my kidney today.
I know you said not to...
that you'd rather die than be a burden.
But you know I never do
what I'm told. Ha ha ha.
Why did you lie that your blood type is A?
I'm telling you,
if the blood types don't match...
then we can't do a transplant!
You haven't had a blood test
since grade school, have you?
If you can't pay the hospital bills,
take her home for now.
Until we find a suitable donor.
Until then, just keep coming in for dialysis.
Okay?
Your blood type is B, B!

-Hey, come in!
-What's wrong with you?
"What's wrong with you"? You, b*tch.
-You are all very lucky.
-Right, here's one.
Yeah, that's right.
Man, what is that, that f***ing... Right?
What's wrong? I wasn't going to hit you.
- What?
- Must I hold back?
The real estate guy must have thought
it'd be okay since I'm deaf.
If my sister can't sleep, then neither can I.
Aw, f***ing great!
Look here, sh*t.
Sh*t, quiet, please.
"The Ruling" - By the Revolutionary
Anarchists' Association
We sentence you to death.
I heard that...
this happened in Australia.
A man thought...
he had two heads.
Two heads?
Yeah, two.
And he kept getting headaches.
With two heads,
he had headaches all the time.
So you know what he did?
He shot...
one of his heads.
The left or the right?

Aren't you going to lunch?
Come on...
-We have to eat. Let's go.
-Let's go eat something.
You've only got 10 million won?
Well, first of all...
you give us your kidney, then we'll do it.
You give us yours
and we'll get you one for your sister.
For 10 million won.
Got it?
Your blood type's B, right?
Congratulations! This is great.
Finding a donor this fast...
is simply a miracle.
The surgery's in a week...
so have her admitted in five days.
You have got 10 million won
in your account, right?
Ha ha.
So all your problems are solved.
Isn't it great?
Are you happy now?
You idiot, you stupid f***!
That money would've saved your sister.
Why not?
Now's not the time to be thinking that way.
There's a saying:
"Is a boiled pig afraid of boiling water?"
Besides-
Then what are you going to do?
You've only got a week.
You know how long it'll take
to find another donor?
Is that her?
She's cute.
Must be a friend.
That's the bastard who fired you?
Son of a b*tch.
That car's worth 10 years of your salary.
That's why we need a revolution.
So sick people will get free treatment...
and you can get...
The bad image kidnappers get
is because of kids getting killed.
But we're different.
Give us the money,
and we'll return the kid pronto.
Sh*t, I'm afraid she'll grow too fond of us.
Maybe she won't want to go home.
She'll be playing with us all the time.
What fun!
Won't have to go to school.
What?
What?
It's summer vacation,
so she doesn't go to school anyway.
Hey!
her parents' point of view.
They'll be so happy to see her again.
They'll love her even more,
and the family will be closer.
We really need the money,
so we'll ask for exactly 26 million won.
How conscientious is that, right?
That money's nothing to them...
but for us it's a matter of life and death.
Movement of capital...
maximizes the value of money,
so it's not even a crime.
Don't you think?
In this world...
there are good kidnappings
and bad kidnappings.
A good kidnapping enlists...
the parents' cooperation.
If parents call the police...
the kid dies.
The parents pay up...
and the kid gets returned.
Then nobody finds out about it.
That is why people think
all kidnappings are bad.
Daddy!
What?
Can I go play at Yoosun's house?
No.
Then will you buy me
a cell phone like Yoosun's?
Hey, President Park!
Why do you keep buying her stuff like that?
Have some consideration
for your neighbors.
Oops!
Peng!
President Park!
Sir, please help me! My wife ran off...
and my children are hungry.
I'm a founding employee.
In six years I never missed a day of work.
You know the percentage
Peng, what are you doing?
I explained it to you already.
And to come to my home...
Is he your staff?
Yes, engineer Peng!
I gave away my youth
to Ilshin Electronics, you know?
Daddy!
-Are you okay?
-Let go!
-Honey!
-Let go.
-I'll go down with a welder.
-Yoosun!
I devoted my life for Ilshin Electronics.
-Hey, let go.
-Kids are dying of starvation.
-Let go of me and talk.
-What if I let you go?
It's not going to work.
Why?
Look at him.
I was fired by the kid's father.
I'll be the first person the police call in.
Then what do we do?
Defeat the communists
What a big army!
The way for Korea is victory
Go forward! Go forward!
Take a step forward towards democracy!
Go forward! Go forward!
Take a step forward towards democracy!
Put it down!
Defeat the communists
What a big army!
The way for Korea is victory
Let's go to the victory
Let's go to the victory, yeah!
By the way...
how come Daddy's friend is so poor?
What?
Uh, that's...
We spent a lot of money because I'm sick.
What hospital is your mother in?
She doesn't know about the car accident.
Her father said not to tell her.
Daddy was too busy...
so they got divorced.
That's why he left me with you.
Mine?
Don't cry.
Stop it!
He wants to trade it for your doll.
Daddy loves Yoosun.
Yoosun loves Daddy, too.
More than anything.
I kidnapped Yoosun.
She doesn't know it.
Send me 26 million won.
I'll be in contact.
Hey.
The people I'm most jealous of...
are those girls...
with mommies to braid their hair.
Then come see me sometime.
Really?
Call me anytime.
I'm all alone, so I get bored.
Go to Geumho Station,
wait outside exit three.
What a big army!
The way for Korea is victory
Go forward! Go forward!
Take a step forward towards democracy!
Please stay inside the yellow line
as the train approaches...
A Discharge Allowance
He never said why
he missed work so often?
Then he never went off for special training?
Yes, last week from Monday to Thursday.
Hey, Toad, let's play hide-and-seek.
Hoy, hoy, hoy! Rock, scissors, paper!
