The Bacchus Lady

Why are you here alone?

Where's your mom?

When did the symptoms start?

A few days ago.

It itches and aches when I pee.

And yellow discharge

on your panties?

Yes...

When was your last intercourse?

It's gonorrhea, isn't it?

Yes, very likely.

We should run a urine test first.

Damn f***er.

Should've used a condom.

I don't have time for this.

Cure me fast, Doctor.

Yes, but the test first.

Okay.

You know where

the pharmacy is, right?

- Call the security!

- Yes, sir.

Come quickly!

Are you okay, Doctor?

Are you crazy?

Stop right there!

Don't move!

Call the police!

Mom!

Min-ho!

Mom!

Don't come, Min-ho!

Run away!

- Mommy!

- Don't come!

- You! Come here!

- Stay still!

Run away!

Hurry!

Watch out, kid!

My goodness...

Are you okay?

You're not hurt?

Stay still.

Let's go this way.

What's with you?

Calm down.

Why are you home so early?

No business today.

Product is out of order.

Why?

You're sick again?

Don't ask.

I'm not in the mood.

Who's that?

I picked it up on the street.

Don't be mean.

Damn.

Time to go to work.

She ate it up.

Don't you ever say hello?

What?

I said hello.

Ah... hello to you, too.

Get in. Get in there.

That's right.

Take off your shoes.

Your shoes.

That's right.

Come in. In here.

You're not talking?

English okay?

What you name?

Where you from?

Why?

Are you hurt?

Gosh, you're hurt.

Hold on.

It's almost done.

I must be crazy,

bringing you home.

If you don't eat,

it's your loss.

Eat, eat.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Eat.

Good boy.

Eat.

Yes, eat up.

Tina.

Are you in there?

Tina.

Who is it?

It's me.

What do you want?

The sun is up high and

you're still in bed?

Damn headache.

I went to bed in the morning.

You drank all night again.

Babysit him today.

What? Hell no.

I'm bad with kids.

Tina.

Oh, excuse me.

You have a guest.

Never mind, then.

I'll ask Do-hoon.

- Sorry, sis.

- It's okay.

What?

I'll come home early.

Tina is with someone.

Who?

The bald guy?

Yeah.

Sh*t, that Korean-Japanese yakuza.

Why do you care?

It's none of your business.

So you'll watch him today?

Fine.

Hey buddy, how are you?

What's your name?

He probably doesn't speak Korean.

Then what should I do?

Just watch him,

and feed him on time.

I don't even keep

my own meal times.

Don't be difficult.

Help me out.

All right.

Hey, let's go in.

- Go on.

- Come with me.

- See you later.

- Okay, see you.

What's your name?

You don't speak English?

First time around here?

Yes...

Would you like a bottle of Bacchus?

I'll show you a good time.

Hey...

Are you that famous...

You better be good.

My expectations are high.

Sure...

Why don't we try

something new today?

I'm having some issues.

I can't have intercourse today.

Why not?

I'm having... my period.

Are you?

Damn it.

I should've told you.

I am sorry.

- But I won't disappoint you.

- All right.

You'd better be worth it.

Of course.

Do you need this?

- No.

- I see.

Let me have that.

Waiting for someone?

What?

Yes, well...

How about a date with me?

A date?

Don't you know what I mean?

A good time for a good price.

Let's go.

How much is it?

Forty dollars,

but thirty for you, handsome.

Room charge is included.

Let's go.

Come on.

Take a shower if you want.

Make yourself at home.

No thanks.

I already showered.

Then wait a second.

All right.

Have you done this for long?

Why do you ask?

I just...

Not that long.

How did you get into this?

To send my son in the U.S.

Tuition money.

I'll quit when he gets

his master's degree.

I see.

How much do you earn a day?

Why do you keep calling?

I'm busy now.

Calm him down then.

I'll call you later.

Wait, wait!

I have something to say.

I'm sorry.

It must've been annoying.

I will focus now.

The truth is...

Does conversation help

give you a hard-on?

No, it's not like that...

I'm interviewing for a documentary

about "Bacchus Ladies".

Old women prostituting in the

Jongno area.

That's why...

What?

Hear me out, Granny.

South Korea ranks 11th on the

economic scale,

but has the worst senior poverty rate

among OECD countries.

It's ridiculous how so many

senior citizens are

still suffering in the shadows

of society today.

It's not right.

You son of a b*tch.

- Pay up.

- Excuse me?

Ten dollars for the room.

I paid for the room.

Oh, right...

And don't call me granny,

my vagina is still young!

Open your mouth.

All right, all right.

I will.

Here.

- See you, sis.

- See you.

Do-hoon.

Hey!

Why don't you answer?

Where did they go?

It's me.

What?

Where are you now?

Here!

What happened?

He disappeared while I was

making ramen.

I told you to take care of him.

I did!

I couldn't even work all day.

How long has he been missing?

About half an hour?

I searched around here.

He must be on the move.

He's got feet, after all.

- Shall we call the police?

- No, let's search again.

Okay.

I'll look this way again.

You go search that alley.

Call me.

Okay.

Excuse me, sir.

Did you see a little boy with

dark skin pass by here?

There's plenty around here.

Yes?

You found him?

Where are you?

Okay.

Why did you go out

without telling me?

I was scared shitless.

Thank god we found him.

He was standing out front.

I see.

Thank god we found you.

He told me he lost his mom.

- He spoke?

- Yes.

- Are you Filipino?

- Yes.

I see.

I am trying to find him his mom.

Are you his relative?

No, I am not.

His mom is in a

complicated situation.

So I'm keeping him for a while.

Wait a minute...

I read about the Filipino woman

stabbing that doctor with a knife.

- It was on the news?

- Yes.

It was scissors, not a knife.

So that was his mom?

Unbelievable!

What a coincidence!

Great!

You can take care of him

as you're a Filipino, too.

I can't. I have my situation too.

I'm sorry.

But he's from your home country!

Sorry.

No, it's fine.

He can stay with me.

I am sorry.

Wait a minute, please.

This granny will find your mom.

So stay with her for now

and be a good boy, okay?

Okay.

You should call this number.

What does it say?

Emergency Support Center

for Migrant Women?

I see.

Ketchup or mayonnaise?

Eat up.

Sausage?

The kitty must be hungry, too.

Wait till we finish!

What are you looking at?

Funny?

Eat.

Eat that.

Do-hoon, are you in there?

He went out a while ago.

That's why no one answered.

Good morning.

Hello, Adindu.

'Hello. What is your name? '

'Hello.'

'My name is Kang Min-ho.'

Your name is Min-ho?

Ms. Youn.

Hello, sweetie.

- It's been a while.

- Yes, indeed.

My daughter sent me on

a trip to Thailand.

- Give me a Bacchus drink.

- Only the drink?

Min-ho.

- Is he with you?

- Yes.

What is this about?

Don't worry.

He can wait downstairs.

Gosh.

I'll be back soon.

He'll behave.

Okay.

Wait here.

I come back, okay?

Go inside.

Sit over there.

How romantic!

Hello?

Damn.

I got it.

Sweetie, cops are here.

What?

What should we do?

There's no proof that you paid me.

You stay and watch TV.
