Let's pray together.

Thank you, Father.

For allowing us good health.

And giving the work in our hands.

Lord, forgive our sins

we commit in our daily life.

And lead us into righteousness.

People who live with songs

like river in their heart

WiII get to know it

That when evening comes...

Take this money,

and let me touch your b*obs.

What...? Huh?

Let's drink!

People who have felt

the terrible loneliness

WiII get to know it

A love that doesn't yield to sorrow

That fIowers Ieaves with Iove

Becoming a forest, then a mountain

To be Ieft behind as echoes

No matter what

People are more beautiful

than flowers

People who gets over loneliness

What'S this?

What are you doing? Huh?

I just came for beer.

Take these and get out.

What the hell are you?

Oh come on.

Bring the manager over.

Hey! BowI hair!

Come on here.

You f***ing bastard!

Are you the manager?

I want my money back!

Please, don't.

- Give my money back!

- OK!

- Take this and calm down, please!

- No.

I don't want it!

Hey, that's enough.

Get out and

take your manager, too.

We won't ask a refund.

- Hey you f***er!

- Get up, get up.

What the f***!

Seung-Chul.

What is this?

Why are you making a mess?

Do you have a crush on Min-Jung?

Why do you care about

these people?

Getting in a fight.

What if they caIIed the cops?

What on earth is wrong with you?

Let me give you an advice

as a fellow Christian.

Don't faII in Iove with

the girIs who work here.

You'll regret later.

How much do you get per hour?

Me? Four doIIars.

Four?

Wash and clean dishes

all day long

to get four dollars per hour?

Call that earning?

What about you?

Me? Five dollars.

Oh, man... Brother.

We risked our Iives to come here

to do the deIivery job?

Work to death and we only get

five dollars per hour.

We came all the way

through China

only to get that crappy money.

Don't talk about China.

If we go to us,

we will make at least eight dollars an hour.

So why not...?

Geez...

- Hey! Bastards.

- Come on in.

What are you guys doing

in the dark Iike some bats?

Just come in now.

I've heard today is

Myoung-Doo's birthday.

Come in.

This is an American magazine

called Hustler. Have a look.

You see these b*obs?

You can't find such b*obs

in North or South Korea.

You know how much meat

they need to eat to get such b*obs?

We got to go to see these. Huh?

Look who's getting thirsty!

Have a drink first.

- Have a drink first.

- No thanks.

Let me see them, too.

You have a drink.

Damn those sons of b*tches!

What have they done?

They're sending South Korean

propaganda leaflets to North again!

What's wrong with that?

Keeping back reunification.

North Korea sends leaflets to South, too.

But you know,

speaking iII of Kim Jong-II,

onIy makes things worse.

- He's done no good either.

- Hello?

Yes, auntie.

Yes, hold on.

Upset Kim Jong-II and he'II take it out

on our famiIy Ieft in North Korea.

What are you saying?

Wait...

What? unzze go:
caught?

What about the money?

Did he send the money?

How can you not know?

If the money is not sent,

l'm a dead man!

Aunt, listen very carefully

and do as I say.

If anybody calls asking for uncle,

say you know nothing.

And when you get in touch with uncle,

tell him to call me no matter what.

Just do as I say!

Dia you ge:
ir?

Seung-Chul.

Yes?

- What's wrong?

- Do you have money?

- No, dem.

- Lefs go to us.

Something's wrong.

My uncle in China got caught

by the Police.

I sent him $25,000 other guys

entrusted me with

but can't reach him.

I told you not to do t.

What are you going to do?

Let's go to the us.

Those guys wiII kiII me

How much did you take?

You don't beIieve me?

I get nothing.

I introduced them to my uncle

for his sake.

If you didn't take any money,

why run away to us?

Will they believe me?

I sent all the money to uncle

but can't reach him?

If you run away this

becomes a real fraud.

I can leave by myself.

But I can't leave you behind.

They wiII kill you, too.

What do you mean by that?

Who else you know except me?

They'll be suspicious of you.

Should We talk to the detective PARK?

If that oId man knows,

I'II onIy end up in jaiI.

There's no choice.

Detective Park.

Yes...

No, everything is OK.

But in case...

No, it's nothing.

No.

I just called you.

Yes.

I am at home now.

I get it.

Yes, sir.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty

Who reigns forever more...

Song number 17043, Start!

Listen carefully.

Father in Heaven, how we love you

We lift your name in all the earth

May your kingdom,

be established in our praises,

As your people declare

your mighty works.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty

Loud, louder!

Who was and is, and is to come.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.

Louder!

Who reigns forever more.

- You did great!

- The melody is really good!

Words are even better.

Father in Heaven, how we love you.

- Let's sing cheerfully!

- We lift your name in all the earth.

Yeah, disco!

May your kingdom,

be established in our praises,

As your people declare

your mighty works.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.

Who was and is, and is to come.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.

What are you doing?

Seung-Chul, can I have a word?

How can you leave the counter?

There were no customers.

So the helpers offered

to teach me sing.

You shouIdn't come to church.

If you're going to behave like this

you shouldn't come to church.

What do you mean?

Why do you sing hymns

with karaoke helpers?

Singing hymns with the helpers?

I don't know any other songs

except hymns.

You are a bad person.

Why are you lying?

It's not a Iie.

Do you really think l'd believe that?

I've finished the work.

This is your pay up to today.

Thanks for your help.

You can go now.

Hope you find a betterjob.

What did I do wrong?

Why do I have to quit?

You always think you did

nothing wrong, don't you?

That's your problem.

You don't know what you did wrong.

Baek-Gu!

Yeah?

I go:
ir.

Get off!

Please give me one more chance.

I've given you many chances.

It won't happen again.

I had my life on those posters.

But we don't have work anymore.

Get off now.

Get off now, you bastard!

l'm trying not to hit you. Get out!

Just one more chance.

Get out!

Let's go.

Wait a moment!

Boss.

I didn't get paid for the Iast two days.

My wages, please.

Torn posters and that banner cost

more than your wages.

I said ge:
off!

Get lost, you bastard!

Go away!

Hey, let's move.

In North Korea,

after Kim ll-Sung died,

the food crisis got rapidly worse

from 1995.

Many starved to death,

and more people tried to escape.

South Korea is a warmer place.

Thank you for taking the

anti-communism education today.

That's enough! All right!

Hey!

What are you going to do

for that $25,000? You Cheated, huh?

No, Detective...

F***ing bastard, I heard it aII!

Hey! Calm down!

Look.

- Are you going to pay back?

- Yes.

But how?

I have some savings.

l'll work to pay back the rest.
