Hey.

You guys just go now.

He'll pay you back.

You were trying to send the money

to North Korea, right?

You know,

that's a crime of espionage.

Go now.

He'll pay you back.

We can't just go.

Go now! Bastards...

Cunning bastard...

Hey!

- Rot to death, you son of a b*tch!

- Just go! Go now!

- I need to take him.

- Rot to death!

I need to take him for questioning.

- Get up and go!

- Cunning bastard...

Just go!

I need to question him.

Go now!

Make sure you pay me back!

Get Out!

- You!

- Yes.

- You know that Dong-Soo died.

- Yes.

When things go wrong,

you could die like him.

You didn't cheat Seung-ChuI

of his money, did you?

BeIieve me!

He has no money anyvvay.

- Can I trust you?

- Yes, l'm telling the truth.

What's your uncle's name

who got caught in China?

- My uncle in China?

- Yeah.

His name is JANG Tae-Soo.

- JANG Tae-Soo.

- Yes.

Are you home?

What brought you home so early?

Look, Seung-Chul.

Come here.

This is Jack DanieI's,

an American Iiquor.

Let's just relax and have a drink.

Did you get in touch with your uncle?

Things will work out fine.

Don't worry.

Get out of my room.

You got this for yourself,

not for me.

What's wrong with you?

What's with the temper!

Are you out of your mind?

That does it. I'm tired.

It's just this situation I am in.

You don't care about me,

you only care about your f***ing dog!

- F***ing dog!

- What are you doing?

F***!

Oh, I got it.

Now you are looking down on me,

aren't you?

- Aren't you?

- What's wrong with you?

You think l'm nothing.

You see me in this situation,

and look down on me.

You've been begging me for clothes

and now you don't need me anymore?

Take all these.

Take them all!

I'm so tired!

Get out of here!

Hey, Seung-Chul.

You know why you're alone?

Huh?

Do you know why you're alone?

You f***er!

You know why you're alone?

You only care about yourself.

That's why you have no friend.

That's why you have a dog

to cuddle, you doglike bastard!

What dia you just say?

- Hey...

- Get off me!

Look at yourself.

You are a damn beggar!

Shut up!

- Shut up.

- Don't taIk Iike that!

Chatter to your f***ing dog.

I don't need it!

You got that?

- F*** off!

- Don't talk like that!

F*** off! F***!

Got it?

F*** off.

You...

Motherfuckerl

Told you to be out of my sight.

Hands off!

I told you! Huh?

So many times!

I told you! Many times!

Do I sound like a f***ing joke?

Afucking joke?

Give me some water.

Hey, give me water.

No, it can't be.

We got this at a high price.

This is definitely a crossbreed dog.

- Supposed to be a Jindo or a Pungsan.

- Probably a crossbreed of the tvvo.

If a Jindo or Pungsan, it's fine

but a crossbreed can't be sold.

- Is that so?

- Yes.

- How about for just $20?

- l'm sorry.

Crossbreed dogs are not for sale.

- Then, take it forjust $10.

- Oh, you can't beg for this.

Keeping this dog would be

already a burden to us.

AIright.

Good bye.

One of my best friends...

asked me to lend him money,

knowing that l'm not well off.

So I did and he said he'd pay back.

But then I heard from him again

asking for even more money.

In my mind, I thought...

'No, I don't want to.'

But I couIdn't say it.

Instead I said yes.

Looking at myselfl became skeptical

on Why I should live like this.

My family used to be very rich.

We used to live in a house

with a big garden.

But things went bad

during the IMF crisis.

Still, Ithought...

my dad would stay strong

just as he had been.

But when we were about to

clear out some stuffs,

he got so upset asking why

we have to get rid of his belongings.

Seung-ChuI!

Where are you going?

Let's welcome a new brother,

JEON Seung-Chul.

Would you please

introduce yourself?

Come, introduce yourself.

He got out of the

resettlement center recently.

So...

He needs to adjust to our society

and make some friends.

That's why I brought him here.

l'd appreciate your kindness.

PIease don't misunderstand them.

This is Detective Park and

brother Seung-ChuI next to him

is a North Korean defector.

Brother, since we are

having a prayer meeting now,

would you like to suggest

a topic for prayers?

I don't know how to pray.

IS that so?

But t is not that difficult, you knoW.

Tell the Lord what's on your mind,

and that is prayer.

Then, our Lord will understand

and listen to everything you say.

I am a North Korean defector.

I was born in Musan,

North Hamgyong province.

There was nothing to eat.

I was so hungry

that I had a fight.

I hit on and on

and found my friend down.

I came home with corn.

The next day,

I was passing the same way

and that friend was still lying there.

And the next day,

and the day after...

I killed a man.

What are you saying?

We just listened to

Seung-Chul's painful story.

He was so desperate for food

he accidentally took the life of another.

However, we believe that Lord

who knows his circumstances

will forgive his sins and offences

and allow him a new life.

Let us understand his pains

as if they were ours

and pray together for God's grace

so that he...

can live a new life here within God.

Let's pray together.

God our Father of love and grace,

we have heard our brother

Seung-Chul's painful story today.

Thank you Lord for

leading him in his pain

to attend this prayer meeting.

Please forgive all his sins and offences

he has confessed today...

Are you weary,

are you heavy hearted?

Tell t to Jesus, tell t to Jesus.

Are you grieving overjoys departed?

TeII it to Jesus aIone.

What dia you e:
hem

that story for?

Who wouId want to be friends

with a kiIIer?

You're so pathetic.

I have no friends anyvvay.

How can you live this world

Without a friend?

Are you serious?

Detective Park.

Can I have a word with you?

Looks like you worry about Seung-Chul,

we have programs for defectors in church...

Seung-Chul.

I am sorry.

I really had no idea.

And I am sorry.

I think I can understand.

Working at a karaoke

because of a sick father.

And you being a defector.

These are things that

none of us can choose.

At least you confessed

n front of God.

I can't do that.

PIease come back to work.

It's too much for me alone.

Please help.

You like to sing hymns,

don't you?

You should join the church choir.

Can we be friends?

Friends from church?

Can we?

Did you make up your mind?

Ah...

Well, my uncle in China

just started working as a broker.

Yep.

So ifl ask him a favor,

you'Il probably get a 10% discount on

the average 40% commission.

Yep, yep.

How much money did you

want to send last time?

For that amount, it's better

to send it at once.

Yeah, that's right.

Where S Baek-Gu?

Where's the dog?

Yeah, yeah.

Where is the dog?

You crazy bastard!

Why do you ask me

about your dog?

Lt was at home.

Where would it go?

Don't you believe me?

How can I beIieve

a thief and crook?

Where is the dog? Huh?

I Iet it Ioose.

Because I felt sorry for the dog

becoming a loser like you.

- Man...
