Hello, ma'am.
MILK
I'm home, Nabi.
Hey, hold on.
I called dibs on this one.
Don't be ridiculous. I saw it first.
-Don't you know the rules? -Rules, my foot.
-You're a thief. -Hey.
-Let go, you thief. -No. You let go.
-I said, let go! -Don't be ridiculous!
-How dare you? -Give it!
Take it then!
Why, you...
How do you like that?
-Jeez. -You little...
Don't mess with me.
-Jeez... -Look.
Did you just push me?
-What? -How dare you?
You little...
-Did you just hit me? -I did, so what?
You asshole!
-Come here. -How dare you touch me?
-Hey. -Hey.
You little... Hey.
-Jeez. -Goodness gracious.
-You want to do this? -Hey.
-Hey, watch it! -Hey.
-Watch it.
Why, you little...
Knock it off, you two!
-Hey! -Time-out, time-out!
-I said, time-out! -There's no time-out!
You're ruining my vegetables!
What are you two doing?
For crying out loud.
Leave it!
You're making a scene!
This is why old people get a bad rap.
This isn't just about a cardboard box.
It's about my pride.
Here.
Are you happy now?
I shouldn't be giving it away for free.
Why are you talking down to me? Have we met before?
I know you well.
All you ever do is drag your cart around
while everyone else is working their butt off.
-So you've been watching me? -Knock it off.
That bastard. Damn it.
Time to go.
-It's not going to work. -Just try it.
A little to the side.
You're done.
It's over.
-Number nine. -Goodness.
Why would you hit so hard?
-This is driving me crazy. -You should've been gentle.
What's this?
Let me see here.
Look at that.
Hey.
Have you checked that area over there?
I don't want to waste my time.
I've checked from the supermarket to the dry cleaner's.
Which dry cleaner's?
The one halfway up the hill.
You mean Sekwang Dry Cleaner's?
I don't remember the name.
The early bird catches the worm, huh?
You're new to this area, aren't you?
None of your business.
Do you have any cigarettes?
I don't smoke.
I see your nose is still swollen.
-Are you teasing me? -No, I just feel bad.
My face is still aching too.
So why did you have to show up all of a sudden and get in my way?
All of a sudden? Do you know how long I've lived here?
Listen.
How long have you been collecting cardboard?
It's been about ten years.
Nonsense.
By the way, how old are you? You look younger than me.
I was born in '48.
Then you're younger than me. I was born in '45.
-Stop lying. -What?
Take a look.
My birth was registered late.
Cut it out.
Where do you live?
Up on that hill.
You mean the slum.
Do you live alone?
Do you want to have some tea at my place?
I have to go sell this.
Don't be like that.
It can wait, can't it?
I live alone too, even though I don't look it.
You do look it.
NO PARKING
You live here?
No way.
Yes, I live here.
Come on in.
Goodness.
Have a seat.
You don't have a kitchen stove?
I do. A good one at that.
But it's cheaper to use a butane stove when you live alone.
You live all alone in this house?
I have two sons.
My oldest is in Brazil,
and my younger one is in France.
They visit me every three years or so.
Wondering why I collect cardboard for a living, huh?
This house is all I've got, and I have no income.
I receive some money from the government every month,
but I collect cardboard
to cover my taxes and bills.
Don't your sons send you any money?
Both of them are ungrateful brats.
They give me some money every time they visit,
but it's nowhere near enough.
Look.
I'll skip the coffee.
Do you have any food?
-Do you want some water? -I'm good.
Sorry, I don't have any soup.
Do you even make soup for yourself?
No, I don't.
I figured as much.
My wife used to make beef and radish soup for breakfast.
It was delicious.
These days, I can't find it anywhere.
It's probably too expensive anyway.
She died before she turned 60.
She had cancer in her tits.
Watch your language.
It's breast cancer.
I know, okay? It was on the tip of my tongue.
All that chemo for nothing.
Should we try making beef and radish soup?
Do you have enough money to buy beef?
I'll buy the beef. You buy the radish.
Who are you to decide? I'm older than you.
Cut it out.
Welcome.
I need some beef for soup.
For soup, plate or shank is best.
Go for Korean beef. It's really good.
Which one should I get?
Didn't your wife tell you which one to get?
Just give me the tastiest one.
Then go with plate.
Let's see here.
How much do you need? 1 kg?
Get 1 kg if you have a big family.
-I'll just take half a kilo. -Sure.
That's a bit over. 640 g.
Would you like me to cut it up?
-No, that's fine. -All right.
Here you go.
Actually...
Do you need something else?
Do you have oxtail?
Oxtail? Great choice.
Let me grab that for you.
Let's see here.
Give me one radish.
Have you lost your mind?
I'm paying for it.
Hey.
How do you make beef and radish soup?
Can you even afford beef? Don't be ridiculous.
Just tell me how to make it.
Just boil the radish and beef together.
How do you season it?
-Is this your first time? -Yeah.
First, buy some beef.
Plate or shank is best. And remove the blood.
How do you do that?
You don't know that?
Just soak it in cold water.
Cut the meat into pieces
about two-thirds the length of your finger.
Heat sesame oil in a pot and stir-fry the meat.
Once it's cooked, add water.
That'll be 1.50 dollars.
So I need sesame oil too?
What's with all the questions?
Once the water boils,
add the chopped radish
and cook until it's translucent.
Season with soy sauce and salt.
Add green onions and garlic at the end.
I'll take green onions and garlic too.
Let me see.
Do they sell soy sauce and sesame oil at the supermarket?
You can get them anywhere.
All right.
Do I buy Japanese-style soy sauce or Korean-style?
What's the difference?
Just get Korean-style soy sauce.
Look.
Can you come over and make it for me?
You must be out of your mind!
You remember the guy I fought with a few days ago?
He's bringing the beef.
For goodness' sake.
So you two are friends now? What are you, little kids?
Let's make beef and radish soup and eat it together.
Look how skinny you are.
You look like you haven't had meat in ages.
Cut it out and get lost!
-Here's your change! -Forget it.
-Take it! -I don't need it!
Damn you.
I'll give you 10 dollars. Make the soup for us.
-You're crazy! -I live just around the corner
in the two-story house
down the alley next to Piggy Supermarket.
Be there at 6 p.m.
-Take your change! -Keep it!
That crazy man. Who is he to boss me around?
Cut it into pieces two-thirds the length of your finger.
Which finger?
Why did you buy garlic and green onions?
She said to put them in.
Do we put them in whole?
Hold on. Do we stir-fry them first?
Do we need to stir-fry the radish too?
What about the meat then?
Why stir-fry everything if we're making soup?
Do we need to chop the garlic and green onions?
Why do we keep asking each other questions?
Oh my goodness.
I thought you were lying.
Come on in.
Unbelievable. You actually live here?
Are you just going to stand there?
My goodness. I can't believe this.
-Sorry. I'll be off. -Wait!
Ma'am!
Hey!
The thing is,
your house was really easy to find.
It's close by too.
I get it, so have some coffee.
Where's your family?
My wife died of breast cancer.
Don't your kids send you any money? Why do you collect cardboard?
How come everyone asks the same question?
How annoying.
I have a house but no income, and my kids are jerks. Good enough?
Tell her about Brazil and France too.
What about Brazil?
My oldest lives in France. No, I mean my younger one...
Move out of the way!
You're chopping it too finely! Let me do it.
Why are you just looking at it? Dig in.
Hey.
What?
I'm sorry I hit you.
Don't apologize. I won anyway.
You guys are silly.
PEOPLE AND MEAT
Let's be friends from now on.
-Do you live nearby? -No, I'm a bit further away.
Anyway, let's hang out now and then.
Isn't it nice to eat meat together?
It is,
but boiled meat isn't the real deal.
Speaking of which,
what are you guys up to tomorrow night?
Why even ask?
What's an old guy living alone going to do?
Are we really going to eat meat here?
It's my treat.
You all left your wallets at home, right?
A wallet? I don't have one to begin with.
Why are you just looking at it? Dig in.
Is this really your treat?
How did you make so much money collecting cardboard?
Did you receive insurance money or something?
I did think you seemed well-off.
Listen closely.
What?
-Do you have a cigarette? -I do.
-Go out for a smoke. -Why?
I don't have any money.
Oh my.
So do as I say.
Ma'am, you go to the restroom.
It seems like the restroom is in another building.
Hold on.
What's going on here?
Are you suggesting we dine and dash?
Have you lost your mind?
That's right.
Go straight to the subway station from the restroom.
Leave the key in.
This is insane.
What am I supposed to do after smoking?
Just wait outside until I come out.
Get going now.
Come on.
I shouldn't have gotten mixed up with you people.
Don't lump me in with him.
May I help you?
Oh, right.
Where's the restroom key?
Oh, it's over there.
Go out and turn left.
Slow down.
Take it easy.
One more serving, please.
The meat is done. What's taking you so long?
What are you doing?
What's going on?
Don't look back.
You're crazy. Why are you doing this?
-Hey. -Hey.
Hold on.
What the hell was that?
I... I'm sorry.
But how did the meat taste?
It tasted good, but what were you thinking?
The meat was really good.
Meat always tastes good.
But this is just wrong!
Didn't you have fun?
-I did. -It was so much fun.
I can laugh about it now, but I was so nervous back then.
When he said he didn't have any money,
I thought he was pulling my leg.
I was going to tell you, but--
Then we wouldn't have joined you.
By the way, we haven't even been introduced.
Who are you?
My name is Park Hyeong-jun. You've seen my ID card, right?
I'm 80 years old.
In the past, I dabbled in all sorts of businesses, from--
My name is Baek Hwa-jin.
It means "shining star." I'm 72 years old.
So I'm older than you.
Who cares?
You have a beautiful name, Ms. Baek.
My name is Jang U-sik.
-He's younger than me. -I'm not.
Anyway, now that we've been introduced,
let's exchange phone numbers.
I only have a landline.
I don't have a landline or a cell phone.
My grandson forced me to get a cell phone, but I never use it.
-You have a grandson? -I'm old enough, aren't I?
-What do your kids do then? -I got unlucky in that department.
I don't have children or grandchildren.
You're a bachelor? Who would've thought?
It happens.
Whatever.
What are you up to tomorrow night?
I can't believe I'm doing this again.
Are we doing the same thing as last time?
If you're so worried, just pay for the food.
I don't have any money.
Fine, whatever.
Enjoy.
Act natural.
If you act awkward, you'll draw attention.
Do the same thing as last time.
You go out for a smoke,
and you go to the restroom.
I'll join you later.
What if we get punished by karma?
We'll be punished by the law before that.
Excuse me.
Can I get an ashtray?
I'm sorry, but you can't smoke here.
Then I'll have to smoke outside.
You should cut down on your smoking.
He's going to be the death of me.
By the way, where's the restroom?
It's back there.
What do we do?
One more serving of pork shoulder, please.
Sure.
-Here you go. -Thank you.
How many cigarettes is he smoking now?
So 7 p.m. tomorrow? Got it.
You should've done as I said!
Why would you draw attention like that?
-Take this off. -Oh, right.
Sorry.
Goodness.
Talk about teamwork.
Why ask for an ashtray?
There it is.
Let's set some ground rules.
Oh, hey.
We'll each order one serving of meat,
and we'll order just one bottle of soju.
I can't eat very much anyway.
And we'll only go to really popular places.
That way, we won't feel as bad.
Please pay in advance.
Also, when it's crowded, people won't pay attention to us.
Lastly, we'll only order cheap cuts.
-Why? -Why?
We should know our place.
We can't eat beef, for example.
Place your orders and insert your card here.
I can help you if you give me your card...
Why do you have so many clothes?
These were my late wife's.
I'm not good at letting things go.
-She must've been into fashion. -Most of them were cheap.
Take whatever you like.
-There are men's clothes too. -Are you sure that's okay?
It's not like I can take them to the grave.
No, not that one.
This one is silk.
-It's good. -It is.
This is enough for me.
-Happy birthday, Grandma. -Happy birthday, Grandma.
Happy birthday, Mom.
Try this, Father.
Eat some more, Grandma.
Eat this too, Mother.
One more serving, please.
Excuse me!
You need to cut down on your smoking, woman!
Let's just have you be the one to smoke.
POLICE
Honey! Did you forget something?
What did you forget?
I forgot all about this.
Rewind, play...
It works.
I'll try that again.
Do you like monkey?
No, I don't like it.
"Mr. Kim."
Hello? Can I speak to Mr. Kim?
Sorry. You've got the wrong number.
Hello?
Hey, Hak-seon!
How long has it been?
Hey, what are you doing?
What else?
I want you...
to be with me when I die.
-Are you dying? -Can't you tell?
What's the problem?
The only problem I have is...
malnutrition.
Then eat something, you idiot!
You moron, you've got to be kidding me.
One second.
Hey, buddy.
I don't have any money. Do you?
Come closer.
What's this?
That's...
for my funeral.
I'm...
starving myself to death.
I've lived long enough.
I have nothing to look forward to in life.
Where are your kids?
Why even ask?
I'm in the same situation as you.
I admire you, buddy.
How did you decide to starve yourself to death?
It doesn't cost anything.
It's not that painful either.
I just feel weak.
I called you because I had a feeling I might die today.
When was the last time we saw each other?
It hasn't been that long. Was it seven years ago?
Then it hasn't been so long.
Hak-seon.
What is it, buddy?
If you stay alive for a few more days,
am I supposed to just wait here?
Goodness.
I didn't think about that.
You look great these days.
What are you talking about? I'm just a wrinkly old woman.
I mean it. Are you using good cosmetics?
I've been eating well these days. That might be why.
I knew it.
See you. Have a nice day.
What a sweet girl.
Oh my, Su-won!
Good to see you!
What are you doing here? Are you on break?
It's May. I'm not on break.
I must be going senile.
Do you have any money?
How much do you need?
About 500 dollars?
That much?
I overheard you say you've been eating well these days.
-Is this an emergency? -It's not like that.
I need to buy some textbooks,
some class materials, and whatnot.
Are they so expensive? I paid your tuition not long ago.
Are you trying to get credit for paying my tuition?
What, you little brat? Fine.
I'll go take out some cash.
ENTER THE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
Su-won.
-Yeah? -Here.
This is just 300 dollars.
I'm a little short on money.
All right.
Stay for dinner.
I have to get back.
Don't be like that. I'll make your favorite--
I have school tomorrow.
-Eat with me. -Some other time.
-You say that all the time. -Seriously...
All right. Get going now.
Hey! Come back here!
That little...
He shouldn't be speeding here.
-More pork belly for table eight. -Okay.
-Hey, wait. -Yes?
Is it for those old people?
-Yes. -One second.
What?
With their teeth getting weak, they should eat tender cuts.
Hurry up.
Listen.
We've been doing this for a while now.
Shouldn't we enjoy ourselves more?
What do you mean?
We're too focused on eating meat.
We should chat more.
We're here to eat meat. Let's stick to our goal.
I still feel uneasy.
I've been a law-abiding citizen all my life.
You didn't seem bothered at all.
You were the most natural of all of us.
No way.
Can't we go for some beef?
What's gotten into you?
On their way home after this,
both my daughter and son-in-law died in a car accident.
Meanwhile, my grandson Su-won survived without a scratch.
It's truly a miracle.
After that, I took him in.
He's now attending university in another city.
It must've been tough for you.
Not at all. He's the reason I've been holding on.
He followed me around everywhere when he was a kid.
He was so chatty and happy-go-lucky.
Anyway, let's go for some beef.
Can't we get some top-quality sirloin?
We can't.
Gosh, so this is how beef tastes?
It sure is different.
You're very quiet.
Are you upset?
He is.
Then just don't eat.
He's been eating nonstop.
It's good, isn't it?
Say something.
Let me try this.
Even the lettuce tastes different.
-The sauce tastes different too. -Even the water.
-Even the spoons and chopsticks-- -That's enough.
Seriously, it just melts in your mouth.
-Oh my! -What's happening?
Hey!
-Sir! -Hey. Wait, hang on.
-Are you okay? -Call an ambulance!
-Call an ambulance. -Hey!
How much was the bill?
Don't ask. It was beef.
So then why'd you pay for it?
What else should I have done?
I must be being punished for being cheap to my grandson.
Doctor.
Are you Mr. Jang U-sik's guardian?
-Yes. -Are you his family?
No.
Does he have any family?
I'm not sure.
EMERGENCY ROOM
So he has liver cancer?
What's he smiling about?
Let's go.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY 700 DOLLARS IN CAREGIVER SUBSIDIES!
Shouldn't we have him hospitalized?
He says he'd rather die.
We can't afford it anyway.
Eating meat is bad for cancer, isn't it?
His cancer is quite advanced.
What do you need? The spinach is really fresh today.
It doesn't look fresh at all.
How does this taste?
That's a newly imported one, and it's very good.
-How about this one? -That one's a bit risky.
It's good, but it's not for everyone.
How about this one?
I haven't tried that one yet.
Here you go.
I'm glad to meet you.
What?
I'm glad to meet you too.
Why are you here?
Let's go have some meat.
You have cancer! Are you crazy?
Forget it. I'm not going.
You talk like meat is poison.
Just go get treatment!
Eat healthy food instead of meat,
stick to your routine, and get some rest.
You can say that because it's not happening to you.
What?
Do you think that's what I need?
Is that what you think?
I'm going to die whether I eat meat or not.
You're going to die eventually too, brother.
We all die eventually.
What did you just say?
-I'm going to die whether I eat-- -No, what did you just call me?
Jeez.
I called you brother.
You did!
I think
you have a point, little brother.
Let's go. I'll get ready.
Meat isn't poison, is it?
I never said it was.
We're all going to die eventually, whether we eat meat or not,
including this guy and me.
I know that.
But I feel uncomfortable enjoying food in front of a patient.
I've never been comfortable with this.
Meat isn't even that great anyway. I quit.
Little brother.
Wouldn't you live longer if you got treatment?
You're ruining my appetite.
Your wife passed away from cancer, didn't she?
Did she seem happy to be in the hospital?
And sure, it's tragic when young people get cancer,
but who cares whether an old man dies from cancer or a cold?
Some people die just from tripping and falling.
Fine, I get it.
Now that he calls me his big brother,
I can't say anything to him anymore.
Lucky you.
Do you want me to call you my big sister?
Don't be ridiculous! Do I look older than you?
Cut down on your smoking, will you?
Wait! Sir!
-Hold on. -Run.
-Hey, let's go. -Run.
Run!
Oh jeez!
That was so close.
How can you run so well when you have bad legs?
And on top of that, you have cancer.
Look at you.
What's so funny?
I feel so alive. Is it just me?
So do I.
After running for my life, I feel young again.
What about you?
Life is sweet.
But you're going to die soon.
-What? -You are.
That was a good one.
Excluding the weight of the cart, it's worth 1.26 dollars,
but I'll give you 1.30 dollars.
This is way too little!
It breaks my heart too.
But what can I do?
Cardboard is worth so little these days.
Why is cardboard worth less and less?
When I started out, it was worth 20 cents per kilo.
Down the street, they pay only four cents per kilo.
Here, it's six cents.
-I pay you two cents more. -God damn it!
Watch your language, please.
Why does everyone blame me?
Mr. Kim even threatened to set fire to my shop
and go to prison.
Do I look like a pushover?
I apparently do.
Still, don't go to the other shop. They'll rip you off.
All right!
There it is.
HELLO? CAN I SPEAK TO MR. PARK?
-Hello?-Allô?
Allô?
Je comprends pas ce que vous dites.
-Désolée, je parle pas anglais. -Park Min-seok.
Mais qu'est-ce qu'il raconte, putain.
Désolée, je parle pas anglais. Vous vous êtes trompé de numéro.
What did you say?
Hello?
Damn it!
Goodness gracious.
Okay.
That's your tenant's responsibility, so don't worry.
Yes.
Anyway, I'm sorry Min-ji's sick.
She's just ten years old.
Right. It doesn't hurt to be careful.
Stop by with Min-ji sometime, ma'am.
Okay, bye.
I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.
Now I recognize you.
You live in the house next to Piggy Supermarket, right?
The run-down one.
It was once the fanciest house in this neighborhood.
Oh, of course.
But a lot of time has passed since.
Anyway, would you like to rent it out?
I'd like to sell it.
Why? Are you moving somewhere else?
I'll put it up for sale first and see how it goes.
You've got something on your shirt, sir.
Is the house in your name?
Well...
-The thing is... -Yes?
It's in my son's name.
Then your son has to come himself.
He's in France.
Is there really no way around this?
I'm afraid not.
Your son will have to put it up for sale when he visits Korea.
Or he'll need to transfer the deed.
When will he be in Korea?
-Is the kid very sick? -Sorry?
You were saying a ten-year-old is sick.
I was talking to a lady who's renting out a place nearby,
and she has a Bichon Frisé.
I mean a dog.
Her name is Min-ji.
The lady's worried her dog is getting old.
A dog?
Yes, a dog.
Why aren't you ready yet?
We're going to Gangnam today, so dress nicely.
Come in first.
-Why? -Just come in.
What's all this?
We should stop.
It's been really fun, but let's hang out here from now on.
We've lost our appetite since we found out you have cancer.
You seemed to eat just fine.
Let's just eat here from now on.
Why do we have to eat here?
Didn't you say last time
that life was sweet?
But we almost got ourselves in trouble.
How am I going to face my grandson if I end up behind bars?
You won't get arrested for dining and dashing.
You can't even run fast.
Did I ask you to carry me?
I'm not causing you any trouble.
It's not like what we're doing is punishing any bad guys.
We're just screwing over small business owners.
That's why we only go to popular places.
Hold on.
You two are just using my cancer as an excuse.
Suit yourselves then.
-I'm going alone. -Hey, U-sik!
You need to stop.
What are you, a little kid?
Fine!
When people find out,
they'll criticize us for not acting our age!
And then they'll get old just like us!
Eventually, they'll run out of things to do.
That's when they'll think to themselves,
"There once lived
some old people who lived their lives to the fullest,
enjoying meat despite their cancer."
We don't have cancer.
How long do you think you'll live after I die?
What, 20, 30 more years?
Even if you did, what would your lives look like?
When was the last time you felt such a thrill?
So what happened to your husband?
I've never been married. I was just a mistress.
He was a Korean-Japanese businessman.
He was 20 years older than me.
He was a supplier for Mitsubishi, Honda, or something.
He traveled between Korea and Japan a lot.
I used to accompany him too.
I love in-flight meals, you see.
I lived in luxury on his money.
I had never worked until my mid-thirties.
I guess your beauty worked in your favor.
No, I wasn't that pretty.
I look better now.
But then one day,
I suddenly stopped hearing from him.
The money also dried up.
I've worked my butt off ever since.
-It was my punishment. -Why didn't you look for him?
I had no idea where he was.
I was busy supporting myself and my daughter.
I stopped waiting for him after three years.
I assumed he was dead,
and that's why I didn't hear from him.
I did all sorts of work, from running a diner
to being a housekeeper.
Goodness.
I guess they don't contact the mistress when the man is dead.
I guess not.
Come on.
Why would a mistress show up at the funeral?
I personally think
a woman looks the most beautiful when she cries
at her husband's funeral.
-You're weird. -Where did you see that?
I've seen it in movies.
I thought my wife would do that,
but I ended up crying at her funeral.
That's better.
That's way better.
What are your grandchildren like?
What?
Here's my confession.
I've never seen my grandchildren.
What are you talking about?
You said your sons visit every three years.
Actually,
I lost touch with them 20 years ago.
I was an asshole. A total asshole.
What did you do?
All kinds of things.
You know what assholes do.
Did you hit them?
So you did.
You're trash.
Did you wreck your house and beat up your children?
You really are trash.
He seems to regret it though.
It seems the trash has a conscience.
He's still trash all the same.
We should put him in a trash bag and take him out.
Let's cut him some slack.
He doesn't even get to see his grandchildren.
Goodness.
We said goodbye at Busan Station.
She waved at me from the platform.
We promised to meet again in Seoul,
but I never saw her again.
Is she dead?
I think so.
We didn't have phones back then.
I wrote countless letters to her, but she never replied.
I just assumed she had died.
You're such a romantic.
You've been single ever since, haven't you?
Hold on.
You made that up, didn't you?
What are you talking about?
I know trash when I see it. All men are the same.
He's making himself out to be this hopeless romantic.
Jeez, he's not like you.
What?
I think I was six or seven years old.
My grandma said to me,
"U-sik, life should be judged at its end."
"Whatever happens in between doesn't matter."
-Your grandma sounds amazing. -But I was a kid.
How was I supposed to understand what she meant?
That's not the point.
Hold on.
-What? -I've got you again.
Did you say you were six or seven years old?
Yeah.
You're a liar!
I'm telling the truth.
I'm sure you looked just like this back then too.
What about you?
I was an adorable kid.
Grown-ups would clap their hands as I toddled around.
I don't believe you. Bring a witness.
They're all dead.
Who's the liar here?
Then how about this? Look at that girl over there.
I used to look like her.
You've crossed the line here.
-Are you okay? -You drank too much.
You should really quit smoking.
-I get it. -Wait.
Look.
Let's just all go out.
Then they'll know we're running away.
Excuse me.
We're going out for a smoke.
Ms. Baek! What are you doing?
Ms. Baek!
Hello, sir. You can give me your keys.
-Thank you. -Come here.
Su-won.
What are you doing here?
Why are you in Seoul?
-Did you get married? -What?
Did you get married without telling me?
What are you talking about?
I saw you nagging your husband about smoking back there.
Answer me.
Why aren't you answering me?
Excuse me! Ma'am!
You haven't paid yet, have you?
I know your trick.
You pretend to step out for a second but never come back.
Well...
What? Did you forget to pay?
Then pay now.
Go ahead.
I was keeping an eye on you guys.
You three are known as the Dine and Dash Trio
all over the internet.
You're celebrities.
I guess this is news to you.
Anyway, where are the other two?
Did they run away without you?
Where are they? Tell me!
There they are.
Get over here.
Go. Go!
Hey, call the police.
Tell them I caught them red-handed,
and they've been dining and dashing multiple times.
Look.
I'm really sorry.
Can't you let it slide just this once?
No, I can't. I insist you pay for your food.
I've also called the police. I'm filing charges.
We don't have any money. We'll pay you later.
Then you shouldn't have eaten! Isn't that common sense?
Show some respect, young man.
Fine, I'm young, so what?
Yes, I'm 31 years old.
I work hard to support myself.
Do you think you can eat for free just because you're old?
-What did you just say? -What?
To think these fucking leeches are living off my tax money.
What?
Do you feel offended?
Then pay for your food!
Pay up.
I've paid for their food, so please stop.
Su-won.
-Go home now. -Wait, they can't go home yet.
What's going on here?
Are you their grandson or something?
Why are you slacking off?
-Look at all those cars. -That's enough.
You fucking bastard.
-What, you prick? -Have you got no parents?
Also, you didn't start this restaurant on your own.
Your parents paid for it.
Your dumb ass should know that much.
Fuck, this day just gets better and better.
Hey, I don't need your money, so take it back.
Here, take it back.
I'll put all four of you behind bars.
The door won't open. Stop touching it.
I know that. I was just fiddling with it.
Ms. Baek did a great job raising her grandson, didn't she?
This case
seems similar to others that have been reported.
Two men and one woman in their seventies.
Barbecue restaurants.
Seodaemun, Eunpyeong, Nowon...
You've been everywhere.
Is it legal to film people without their permission?
Who recorded this?
Sir...
No one filmed you.
This is CCTV footage.
We're sorry.
Can't you let it slide?
There's nothing I can do
because the report has already been made.
So why are you in Seoul?
I'm taking a break from school.
Also, that's not what's important right now.
You're taking a break? Why?
Why did you do that?
Do you know what people are saying about you?
Why fall in with the wrong crowd at your age?
Don't you have enough money to buy meat?
Have you no shame?
This is humiliating!
So because I'm old,
I'm supposed to stay out of sight until I die?
Everyone does that.
Is dining and dashing your way of rebelling against the world?
Then what am I supposed to do?
The three defendants have dined and dashed together
at multiple restaurants in Seoul over the past few months.
Given that they are over 70 years old,
one would expect their wisdom and character to be matured by now.
Rather than setting a good example for the younger generation,
their disgraceful behavior
has shocked not only business owners but society as a whole.
Such conduct is both legally and socially unacceptable,
and I, as the judge, cannot condone it.
Considering the seriousness of their actions
and the risk of recurrence,
each defendant is found guilty of habitual fraud
and is sentenced to a fine
of 3,000 dollars.
Your Honor.
Then what do you condone?
Bribery?
Please be quiet.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're looking at me like I'm vermin.
-Silence! -Silence, my foot.
Am I not even allowed to talk?
I call for a trial regarding the disturbance in the court.
The defendant is sentenced to seven days of detention.
-Stand up. -What's "detention" anyway?
-Let go! -Stand up.
-Your Honor! -Can't I even speak?
-Actually, he's quite unwell. -Let go!
-Let's move on to the next case. -Why did you put a mic here then?
Criminal case number 2024-3687.
-For crying out loud. -Defendant, come forward.
I really have no other choice!
I lost touch with my son more than 20 years ago!
Also, I built that house with my own money.
Why won't you let me sell it?
I've been paying property taxes for decades!
-For crying out loud! -Sir, what are you doing?
-Let go! -Please leave, sir.
-You find my son -Please leave.
-and bring him to me! -Please leave.
I don't even know whether he's alive or dead in France!
Yes, exactly.
Let's go for some beef tripe.
You don't have time?
Let go!
Then what about her?
What did she do wrong?
-Look. -Yeah?
You know me, don't you?
I never ask for favors.
I know. You're so independent.
Actually...
What is it? Spit it out.
Can I borrow some money?
How much?
About 3,000 dollars.
Did your grandson get in trouble?
No, I did.
Doesn't he know how hard his grandma works,
selling veggies on the street and dragging a cart at an old age?
What's his problem?
When will he grow up?
I promise to pay you back before I die.
I'm sorry.
I don't have that much money to spare.
I understand.
I only have 300 dollars to spare.
Isn't your son-in-law pretty good?
-He's peeled more garlic than you. -Sit.
I peeled this.
-Good job. -Right?
Mom.
Hwa-jin!
I really don't have any money to spare.
My younger son keeps failing to get into college,
so I have to sign him up for intensive courses.
And they cost a fortune.
Give me your account number.
I can only lend you 1,000 dollars though.
Pay me back before you die.
SEOUL HAKDONG POLICE STATION
Mr. Jang U-sik, please come out.
-Can I just leave? -Yes, you can.
Sir, wait.
Get yourself a meal.
Hello, sir.
We barely caught you. We brought you some kimchi.
This year, we're giving out shrouds.
We asked around,
and it turns out that shrouds are the best present for the elderly.
Did you actually conduct a survey?
Let me take a picture of you.
Hold this, please.
Sir, hold it up so I can see the shroud.
Yes, just like that.
Here we go.
One, two...
He's just asking you to feed and clean after his cat.
He wrote that he'd be out of town, but he didn't specify where.
Where did he get the money? Can we take it?
Now that he's gone, what else can we do?
How is he going to pay his fine?
He didn't write anything about it, so I don't know.
I wonder if his body can keep up.
Something doesn't feel right, but our problem's solved now.
Should we go get some soup somewhere?
Why didn't you say that before I set all this up?
And stop eating my cucumbers.
MAN IN 70S SETS JUDGE'S HOME ON FIRE The suspect, Jang, has dined and dashed in a group
MAN IN 70S SETS JUDGE'S HOME ON FIRE multiple times throughout Seoul.
When caught, he was sentenced to a fine,
leading him to hold a grudge and commit arson.
Any comments?
ARSON TOOLS FOUND IN BAG AT SCENE... Do you think the sentence was unfair?
There were no casualties. How do you feel about that?
What was your motive? Please say something!
There was no special reason.
I needed a place to sleep.
What do you mean?
Why did you remain at the scene instead of running away?
My legs are in bad shape.
Excuse me.
He must've given us his security deposit.
That lunatic.
NO PARKING
-One, two, three. -One, two, three.
-I closed my eyes. -Fine.
-Let's take another one. -This is frustrating.
-One last time. -One, two, three.
She closed her eyes again.
Damn it.
What did they say? A stay what?
A stay of execution.
Right, a stay of execution.
Then they should've let us know!
How could they just send a patient away?
They would've told us if we were related to him.
Anyway, where in the world did he go?
You're crazy!
What do you mean? You guys are crazy.
-That's hilarious. -How ridiculous.
-Hey, have some tofu. -Forget it, you idiot.
Hey, let's take a picture to commemorate your release.
One, two, three.
Hey!
It's really good.
-Cheers. -Cheers.
I was afraid I'd be tried by the same judge.
Are you out of your mind?
Even so, how could you set fire to his house?
You did a good job. Serves him right.
Anyway, word travels fast.
The second judge seemed to watch his mouth.
See?
Actually, the junk dealer was saying you were a celebrity now,
and he was going to visit you in prison.
Piggy from Piggy Supermarket said
he saw someone familiar on the news and asked me if I knew you.
And I said no.
Anyway, don't you want to know how I'm feeling?
That's why I got released.
How are you feeling?
How are you?
I almost died.
That's why they let me go.
Where did you go after?
I thought you had gone and died somewhere.
I traveled around the countryside, looking for a house.
You don't even have any money.
You spent it all paying off our fines.
Thank you so much. I'll pay you back.
Live with me in my house until you die.
You're not going to live long anyway.
Let's do that.
I reflected on my life while I was in prison.
And I realized my life has been pretty unremarkable.
Now that I look back...
Just get to the point.
The times I went around eating meat with you two...
were the best moments of my life.
Have I lived a pathetic life?
I can't even remember anything that happened before that.
What are you doing? Let me pay.
-Let me pay just this once. -Don't do this.
-I'll pay. How much is it? -Come on.
-Stay out of it! -Move aside.
-You even paid for the beef. -Forget it.
-No, you can't pay. -Here you go.
My goodness.
You're eating so well.
How have you been, Nabi?
Where did your sofa go?
I didn't need it, so I sold it.
Are you selling the mother-of-pearl cabinet too?
It'll be picked up within a few days.
Some young people
were paying a fortune for old junk at the junk shop.
They said it was for some café
that they were going to open in Eulji-ro.
-So I brought them home... -Why?
Are you doing this to pay me back?
That's not it.
-I guess I am. -Forget it.
Instead, I'll let you live here for free.
Actually, I'm thinking...
Hey.
Drink some water.
Here.
He did it again!
Dear Hyeong-jun and Ms. Baek,
I'm leaving Seoul.
I have your phone numbers and addresses with me,
so I'll stay in touch.
The stars at dawn appear especially brilliant today.
Take care until we meet again.
Attention all passengers, the train will be departing shortly.
The train will be departing soon. Please check your tickets.
I know trash when I see it. All men are the same.
Grandma.
Goodness.
Su-won, what brings you here?
I'm being drafted.
What? For the military?
Yeah. I'm going to boot camp.
When?
The day after tomorrow.
I just came by to let you know.
I'll get going.
Hold on.
Let me go get some money.
Forget it.
I don't need any money.
Can you just...
give me a hug?
Goodbye.
Take care of your health.
I'm off.
What?
Well... A picture?
-Oh, a picture. -Yes. Is that okay?
You want me to take a picture?
Give me the camera.
-Together. -Sure.
One...
-Sure. -Thank you.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Yes.
These days,
they can enlarge your ID card photo for the funeral.
That fraud.
How could he use that picture for his ID card?
One would think he died young.
Died young?
Even old and ugly men
look handsome in old pictures.
But he looks so sly in that one.
Any of his recent pictures would've looked better.
He looks like a nice guy,
but he dragged us into all kinds of funny business.
You know the beef he brought for the beef and radish soup?
I'm sure he stole that too.
I don't think anyone's going to show up.
Let's cremate him tomorrow.
You think so?
Then again, what's the point of a three-day funeral?
Right?
He was my teacher.
A teacher?
My goodness. You were his student?
He taught me how to write poems.
Poems?
You didn't know?
He was a poet.
You've got to be kidding me.
That makes sense.
"The stars at dawn appear brilliant..."
That's right.
He loved writing those lousy letters.
I long to dissolve into laughter
So I dissolve into tears instead
Too fed up with living and dying
Forgetting the azure sky
Wings flutter aground
Heart full of unspoken words
I forget my hunger
"Please give me a pancake"
But too shy to ask, I remain cold
Shall I start a fire to warm my cold heart?
I knew it.
He's been into arson since then.
I open my eyes to the morning
Sunshine falls equally on all
What do you think?
Wonderful.
I can't believe he kept this amazing talent a secret.
Do you know the title of this poem?
What should you do if both life and death feel like a chore?
Grow Old Alone?
It's titled Youth.
UNSPOKEN WORDS WITHIN MY HEART POET JANG U-SIK
I'm off.
Hey.
Why don't we eat some meat in memory of Jang U-sik?
Come to the house down the alley next to Piggy Supermarket.
Be there at 6 p.m.
