The Host
What the heck is this?
What?
That's pretty gross.
Is it a mutation?
Is it dead?
Yeah? Wait...
My cup!
That was close.
My daughter gave me this cup.
Look, it's swimming away.
How many tails does that thing have?
You got me.
Makes your skin crawl.
Mr. Yoon!
What the hell are you doing?
Don't do it!
No! No!
Did you guys see that?
Underneath...
In the water.
Something dark in the water.
You really didn't see it?
What the hell are you talking about?
Morons, to the very end.
Have a good life.
Welcome.
What would you like?
- How much is this?
- 75 cents.
Not again.
Lift your head.
One, two, three. Here you are.
Daddy!
Hyun-seo?
Hyun-seo.
Wait for me!
Now that you're awake.
Get up!
Three squids for Mat number 4.
Roast them quickly.
Gosh, how much sleep
can a body take?
Hyun-seo!
Here you are.
Oh, that hurts.
Did your uncle do a good job?
He came, at least.
I was worried.
I can't believe this.
I was the only one whose
uncle came to parents' day.
That's why I kept calling,
but you didn't answer.
Why didn't you answer?
receive signals?
I am too embarrassed
to use it in public. You take it.
What's wrong with it?
Oh, and about uncle.
I could smell alcohol on him...
...when he stood in the back of class.
That punk...
...getting drunk at this hour.
Hasn't it started, Grandpa?
What?
Today's Nam-joo's competition.
- Aren't we gonna watch?
- Oh, Nam-joo!
Right.
Why isn't it on?
- You know what this is?
- What?
I'm saving up
to get you a new phone.
There's a lot, huh?
They're all dimes!
That'll never be enough.
There are some quarters, too.
What's this penny doing here?
This is all from the change box, huh?
- I'll tell Grandpa.
- Go ahead.
- Tell the geezer.
- Geezer?
It's a dead body.
- Mr. Yoon's body...
- That's gross.
...without the lower half
was discovered from Han River.
Turn to 505.
The sports channel.
Oh, there it is!
I made that for her. Aunt!
A bull's-eye every time!
- Park Nam-joo!
- Grandpa!
The old man has to run the shop,
let's watch it ourselves.
What do you mean?
We all need to support her.
Grandpa!
Let the geezer roast some squid.
A straw.
Let's have a cold one.
Here.
This is alcohol!
You're in middle school now.
- What? Are you really my father?
- When your daddy was in middle...
Alright. The semifinals.
She looks tough.
It's bitter!
Go, Park Nam-joo!
Who else could...
...take so long to take a shot?
- Oh, it started.
- Nam-joo is on. You gonna watch?
- Gold medal time!
I can't watch my daughter's matches,
I get too nervous.
- Gold medal this time!
- Gang-du.
- Yeah?
- Come outside.
- I have to watch this.
- Come on out.
Now!
I received...
...a complaint from Mat number 4.
Their squid had only nine legs.
Did you eat one?
No.
Don't deny it.
Why touch other people's things?
Think of it from
the customer's perspective.
A squid.
The torso tastes delicious,
but the legs...
...especially the longest one
has something special, right?
From a paying customer's
perspective, it's important.
Take this to Mat number 4.
Tell them it's on the house.
Four, five, six,
seven, eight, nine, 10...
Mat number 4.
- I've brought your order.
- Oh, put it down there.
What are you looking at?
There's something there.
Come on.
- There, under the bridge.
- See it?
- Do you see it?
- How long has it been there?
- It's been a while.
- I told you.
It's construction equipment.
- Something they hung...?
- No.
Don't think so. It's moving.
- Yeah, it just moved.
- Did it?
Bull's-eye!
She's amazing!
I'm not just saying that
because she's my daughter.
How could she hit
- Right!
- I can't believe it!
It's going in.
It's swimming over!
God, it's huge.
Did you see that?
He ate the can!
All in one gulp.
- Is it a dolphin?
- Yeah, must be.
Have some beer nuts too.
Should we throw something too?
Pakistan?
You came from Pakistan?
It swam off.
It's gone now.
It's an Amazonian...
...river dolphin for sure.
This time there are 10 legs, mister.
This time there are 10 legs.
Count them yourself.
Run away!
Everyone run away!
Run away!
Open up!
Young-ho!
Young-ho!
My son must be in there.
Someone help, please!
Help!
Okay.
Faster! Let's go!
Throw it hard!
This is the last shot
of the semifinals.
Oh, now is not the time to
lower her bow.
Shoot.
Because if she goes over
the clock...
- Shoot!
- Two, one...
Oh, no! The clock!
You could have just let go.
- Park's weakness is...
- Why can't she let go sooner?
...taking too long to release.
And today it cost her the title.
At this point, Park can only
hope for the bronze.
Hyun-seo!
Hey, come back!
Gang-du!
Hyun-seo!
Sir!
You have 10 minutes to
clear the area!
Please take care of your things
and evacuate.
Come on.
Nam-joo.
Hyun-seo!
It's bronze. Bronze.
Your aunt...
...brought you a bronze medal.
Hyun-seo...
...it's your aunt.
Hyun-seo...
Hyun-seo, your uncle came.
Hyun-seo...
...thanks to you, we're all together.
Hyun-seo!
Let go of me!
What are you taking pictures of?
What's so goddamn interesting?
F*** off!
Stop taking pictures!
Calling the owner of a Hyundai car,
plate number 2487!
Anyone?
Hey, lady, how could
you park your car there?
So you screwed up?
I heard everything.
You grabbed some other girl's hand?
You left Hyun-seo on the ground?
Your own daughter!
You call yourself a f***ing father?
You son of a b*tch!
I thought it was Hyun-seo's hand.
She's so pretty in that photo.
She looks just like...
...her mom in that photo.
Do you think her mom even knows...
...that she died?
Not a chance.
It's been 13 years since
she popped out the baby...
...and ran off.
I'd run away too, damn it.
Are you sleeping?
- Huh?
- Nam-il.
- You can sleep at a time like this?
- What are you doing to your brother?
In a word...
Her birth was an accident...
...and so was her death.
Old people have always said...
...that an animal
which kills a human...
...should be torn limb from limb.
That it's a human's duty to do so.
Until I slit that beast's stomach...
...and at least find Hyun-seo's body...
...I'll never leave this world in peace.
Attention, please!
Ladies and gentlemen...
...those of you
present at the river incident...
There are probably a lot of you here.
- This is an important matter
of life and death.
Those who were at the scene...
...or those who have come
in contact with these people...
...raise your hands!
This isn't something you should hide.
Raise your hands.
If you go home, it might affect
your families.
Raise them high!
Hey, mister.
What the hell is going on here?
F***, shouldn't you start by
explaining what's happening?
Yeah, explain!
An explanation should be...
...appearing on the TV news now.
To save time, we'll let the news
serve as explanation.
