You had some more space.

How could you park like that?

It's all right.

I'll be out in a jiffy anyway.

Written and Directed by NA Hong-jin

This way.

Sir, so is that your car?

You b*tch,

you're dead if I catch you.

The Chaser

Yes.

Yes.

I'm back!

I'm sorry, sir.

Two of our girls ran away.

Business has been bad lately.

I've already put

such a big advance on those girls.

But sir, I can't get that much money

ready in three days.

Once I collect the money from them,

and pay you back...

Turn it off, a**hole!

Can't you see

I was on the phone?

You have no f***ing manners.

Did you hand them out?

- Yes, sir.

- Go hand out some more, idiot!

Dumb a**hole.

Yes.

Where?

Hapjung district.

Provence Motel, room 301.

I'll send her now.

- Hello.

- Hey.

You came fast.

Seong-hee,

you don't look so young.

- How old are you?

- Thirty.

You took good care of yourself.

Nice body.

Why? Need to go pee?

- Yes.

- Later.

- No.

- Go later.

I told you to go later.

- What's wrong?

- Let go.

- Just wanted to take some pictures.

- Let go!

Okay, I'll pay you instead.

Let go, you pervert!

What?

Crazy a**holes.

Where is she?

You f***ing slut!

You call me a pervert, huh?

Watch your mouth, b*tch!

You want to die, huh?

Come here, you b*tch!

- Mister.

- You're dead!

She's leaving.

Calm down.

- Get out!

- Come here, b*tch!

- Mister.

- Come over here!

- She's leaving.

- B*tch...

Come here, you b*tch!

You're dead!

- She's leaving now.

- You b*tch!

- Calm down...

- What the f***...

Who the hell are you?

I'm her guardian, a**hole.

Sit down.

Kneel down.

Cover yourself!

So what are you going to do?

Let's settle this.

Satisfied?

There you are.

Let me see.

I'm quitting for real.

Don't call me.

Hey!

Hey!

Did you find the girls?

Where did you find the car?

In Mangwon district.

Did you call the police?

You crazy?

Report girls who

ran away from me?

I told you they didn't run away.

You used to be a detective.

Then go find them

instead of ripping people off.

You crazy b*tch,

who says I'm ripping people off?

I'm the one

who's being ripped off.

B*tches get a big advance from me

and then disappear.

Ask any a**hole on the street

what it means.

Whether they've been sold

or ran away.

Rotten bastard.

Hey!

Hey! Seong-hee!

That damn temper of hers.

Meathead

What?

This bastard keeps rejecting the girls

and now there's no one left.

There's Mi-jin, idiot.

She wants to rest

because she's caught a cold.

Cold my ass. I'm hanging up.

What the f***'s wrong

with everyone?

Mom.

Mom!

What?

Take the medicine.

Bring me my cell phone, honey.

Filth

Yes, Jung-ho.

Where are you?

I'm sorry. I'm very sick.

Where are you sick?

I think it's a cold.

I also have a fever.

I'll take a day off.

A cold?

In the middle of summer?

Are you with a guy?

No.

Are you trying to run away

like the others?

What are you saying?

You better get to work

before you regret it.

Okay?

Why aren't you answering me?

Jung-ho, please.

Where do you live?

I'm going over right now.

Where is it?

Okay, I'll go.

Call Meathead.

Yes.

Damn it.

What's this?

You have to go?

I'll be back soon.

Yes, a Matiz.

I'm wearing a white cardigan

over a dress.

Did it turn on?

Yes.

I've heard of it.

Know this number?

Yes, sir.

He's a complete wacko.

Mi-jin went to serve

that bastard.

Ji-young

Mi-jin

Sh*t.

Where did she go?

To Mangwon district.

Yeah, it's that bastard.

He sold them.

It's me.

Just answer yes or no.

Are you with

that bastard now?

Your customer.

At a motel or his home?

Are you going to his house

in your car?

Okay, listen carefully.

Memorize his address

as you go into his house.

Just do as I say.

Don't get me upset.

Soon as you go in,

tell him you'll take a shower.

Then text me his address.

Simple, right?

Don't let him be suspicious.

You die if you screw up.

I'm finally lucky.

Shouldn't we report it?

Want to see

this business go down?

Look after the office.

Yes, sir.

Who is it?

My manager.

Your boss?

Yes.

Something wrong?

No, he's worried

that I'm sick.

Which way shall I go?

Over there.

Park in front of the guard post.

What a tough life.

The mayor of Seoul.

At the market at this hour.

Jung-ho, what's up?

Gil-woo, are you busy?

I'm busy, why?

Remember what I told you?

- What?

- About my girls running away.

They didn't run away.

They've been sold.

The same guy called for

the girls.

So?

Going to catch that a**hole?

- Yes.

- Where are you?

Mangwon district.

Are you busy now?

I told you I'm busy.

I don't know

how many of them there are.

I might be outnumbered.

Could you send

a few of your guys at least?

History will be the judge!

Get the hell out!

Gil-woo?

Damn it.

It's here.

Mangwon district, 24-1

Something wrong?

No.

Come in.

Okay.

- Coming?

- Yes.

I'll take a shower.

Sure, it's over there.

Mangwon district

Sending

Message failed

I think I left the condom in my car.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Mi-jin

Your call cannot be connected.

Damn it.

Mi-jin

- Your call cannot be connected.

- What the...

Hey.

Do you know Ji-young?

Haven't seen her for a while,

have you?

Hush, hush.

She kept screaming,

so I cut off her tongue.

Good.

Mi-jin.

Scared?

Do you want to go home?

Why do you

want to go home?

Tell me why you should live.

No reason?

Spare me.

Please let me live!

No reason, right?

Wait! I have one!

I have a daughter.

She's seven years old.

Nobody would even know

that you're dead.

Nobody will look for you.

Don't move.

Don't move.

It won't hurt at all.

None of them felt any pain.

It hurts if you move around.

Damn it.

Your call cannot be connected.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Who is it?

Sorry to disturb you so late.

Is Mr. Park home?

Who are you people?

Please leave

There's no one

by that name here.

Mr. Park hasn't come

to church lately.

There's no sign of him.

There's no such person here.

Then did he move?

I don't know.

Oh, goodness, it's Pungsan.

- Honey, isn't that Pungsan?

- You're right.

How'd you get so skinny?

Let's go.

Wait a minute. Look at her.

Why are you being
