Year 1991. [Kang Dong Won] [Ko Su]
Don't take it off, even if it is stifling. Mm?
Only when you wash you face, close your eyes tight,
and we will remove it.
Mommy will wash you quickly
and then put it back on.
Even while you're sleeping.
And when you're eating.
I will do everything for you.
Why?
That way.
You'll heal sooner.
But I'm not sick...
Hey, you cunt!
Does food even go down your throat? Huh?
You.
Do you think you are done with me when you just take off and find a new life?
So cruel, you are so cruel!
You must've already found a new husband too, then.
Aigoo.
Let's just eat first.
Ah, so wet.. damn.
Do you think he will become a human just because you covered his eyes? Crazy bitch.
You little bastard.
You don't even greet your father when he has just arrived!
I wonder if ripping out his eyes would fix him.
Ah, geez.
Now you're trying to act like his mother.
How can you treat your husband like that?
I get sick just watching you two.
No!
What do you mean by 'no'?
It's hard, right?
Right?
Mommy, too,
can no longer handle this...
So
let's just..
stop living.
Okay?
Why are even my parents trying to kill me?
2010
It's not my fault that I was born like this.
The fact that I am different from others,
you people will never understand.
I, too, do not wish to mingle amongst you.
Even if you all call me a monster
The only thing I may have faith in
is the power
that made me a monster.
When will you be checking out, customer?
I'm not sure.
How about this much for now?
It's room 1407.
Psychic.
Hyungnim!
Hyung!
Eat a lot.
Hey!
One of you in this group hasn't paid yet!
Who is it?
Wow, with all of the effort he is putting forth...
He would have gone to heaven
a million times over.
Right?
Hey, do all the ones who pray go to heaven?
What day of the week is today?
Huh? Isn't today Thursday?
Today's Friday, dude.
We're off the day after tomorrow.
And because we're off?
Are you happy?
No!
Hey, hey, wake up! Hey, wake up wake up.
I'm leaving.
You're tired, aren't you?
And put some gas in.
Okay.
Don't be late tomorrow.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
I'm going. Okay.
Hyungnim.
Happy Birthday!
You must be tired because your birthday is on the weekend.
Happy Birthday, hyung.
You know we love you, don't you?
Oh, you didn't need to do this...
Thank you.
You're lucky that you didn't die.
Still.
For someone who got messed up this bad, your healing rate is quite fast,
the nurses are saying.
Really?
Oooh.
Looks like you're gonna get married.
Hyung, do you know that saying?
They say that in a man's life, there are 3 turning points.
So.
You've just passed the first point.
Then you have two more left.
Really? There are two more times?
Ah, hold on.
So
think carefully.
Have you ever been sick enough to die when you were young?
Almost starved to death after losing all of your money?
Did anything like that happen?
Oh, that time Hyungnim.
Thomas.
You let him borrow some money, but he just took off.
I just gave it to him.
Ay, No,
that is a point.
At that time, you didn't have any money so you lived for a month eating ramen.
You had a bad case of diarrhoea. You suffered so much.
That's 2.
And the owner says not to come to work anymore..
That's 3.
You've passed all 3 points in your life.
Congrats!
I'm 33.
Yes, 78.
Oh, you already found someone?
Yes, work hard. Yes...
[Global- looking for workers, a healthy South Korean Man, anyone. (Utopia)]
Utopia?
Anyone here?
What do you want?
I'm the one that called earlier. Im Kyu Nam is my name.
No family problems...
Junkyard...
7.
I did a lot of things before
but I didn't write them down.
It was for a short while.
Hmm.
Wait a moment.
Hello.
Are you Lee?
I'm Choi from Utopia.
This isn't about something else.
But umm...
Can you check
an ID number for me?
I will call them out for you right now.
Check it out for me.
Yeah

Aigoo. My eyesight became worse lately. 14..

640
You're clean.
Don't get upset over it.
It's regular procedure.
For interview,
You're handsome.
You...
What do you think about life?
Life?
Life is...
You live until you die.
Huh? yea.
You just live until you die, right.
Turn your face this way.
Turn the other way.
Let's see.
Should we start with the orientation, representative Im?
Representative Im?
Start as a representative...
and you'll get a promotion the better you do.
That's life.
This is the place
where we negotiate.
And...
Can you see that?
That.
That right corner.
Next to that.
That is
our company's eyes
and protector.
Huh?
CCTV
I spent a lot of money on this big system.
Everything that happens here,
I can see it on the TV in the next room.
Also, if something happens.
Turn this switch on.
That's about it.
By the way..
What kind of company is this?
Huh.
In general terms.
Money...
No...
Financial business.
That is that.
This is the most important part.
Um.
Right in front of me,
some money disappeared.
But there is no record.
Look at this.
Everything is recorded.
This is my life.
Here, there is a space...
Representative Im.
Whatever it is.
Something or someone has visited.
Really...
Definitely, something was here.
CCTV, too...
That's why I installed it.
No one was caught on the camera.
Nothing was visible.
Only the money is missing.
So.
So I was hoping that you...
Oh, this is my daughter.
Introduce yourself.
This person is...
Starting tomorrow....?
Yes.
The employee to start tomorrow,
Our representative Im.
Hello.
I'm Im Kyu Nam.
I'm Rachael Young Samantha.
No. This is Choi Yong-sook.
Hello.
You're here early.
Dad will be arriving shortly.
Would you like to chew some?
Oh.
Bubble gum.
It's been a while.
I'm just briefly helping dad.
Yes
I'm a preparing to become a flight attendant.
Stewardess.
Oppa, Oppa, that side.
On the left.
On this side?
Is the bug poison that I put a long time ago still there?
It's not here
Oh OK then, just put that there.
Yes.
Can you please move the ladder this way?
Yes.
Let's eat.
Yes
Ah, why are there so many bugs?
Yes, here..
Yes. Three.
Oh.
What?
Wait a moment.
Boss.
Yes.
Uh.
My former co-workers are coming to visit.
Is it okay if they come?
There aren't any guests around...
We don't know when guests will show up.
Tell them to come.
Okay. Got it.
Boss.
They said they're coming now.
What about our meal?
The food is here.
Come over here.
Hey, Boba ah.
Hey.
Ah, wait a moment.
Hello.
You found the place so quickly...
Hello.
Uh president, this guy is Boba and this guy over here is Ali.
Ahjusshi, did you bring the food?
If I knew that you were having your meal, I would have come at another time.
I apologize.
It's alright.
You speak Korean so well.
Where are you from?
I'm from Ghana.
Ghana.
Yes.
That's a far away country isn't it?
No no, it's really close.
He speaks Korean better than me.
No, not really.
I ended up learning as I lived here.
I enjoyed the meal, president.
Thank you.
Welcome.
It was only a bowl of bean paste.
And, where are you from?
I'm from Turkey.
Turkey.
Yes.
You're from a faraway land. You must have a lot of hardship.
Here.
Wow, you really made it!
Not yet.
Soon I'll become the manager.
When that happens, my pay will increase.
One step at a time.
That is life.
What did you do to get the position?
Wait!
What is this?
Mike Lee?
This must be a really global place.
But is the boss nice?
Yes.
He looks like a crook.
What? A crook? You shouldn't say that.
Don't do that.
But who is this?
Oh, she is the boss's wife.
What? Wife!? What?
Why is a foreign woman his wife?
She passed away.
Also, president
is a very good person.
Ah, that's why his daughter is so white.
You lucky guy.
Who are you?
What are you doing!?
Boba, why are you doing that?
Boss.
You are...
You are the one doing this, aren't you?
Kill.
Guys, what are you doing?
Come to your senses, you guys!
Yong Sook!
You!
Right now, all this...
Don't mess with my friends.
Boss.
President.
Stop it!
Are you conscious?
Boss!
Hyungnim! Slowly!
What is different about that guy?
Why is he the only one that I can't control?
He's profiting from us Koreans.
It must be satisfying.
I'm sorry.
He said.
The hospital was too noisy.
And so I couldn't clearly hear everything he said, but
Don't miss your meals.
Definitely.
Stewardess.
Definitely become a stewardess.
And live a happy life.
That's what he said.
Hey, Ali?
Huh?
You said you knew how to pick locks.
Is it working?
Hey, Ali.
Do you really know how to do it?
Hyung, please have some patience.
It's open.
Hyung.
What's going on?
Is that us?
I don't remember anything at all.
Boba.
Do you remember this?
No.
What happened?
Hyung.
How come you're the only one who is lucid?
Don't know..
Hyungnim, are you a ghost?
What?
You can't touch ghosts, right?
Is he an evil spirit?
Stop talking nonsense.
Let's take this to the police.
Oh!
Catch him!
What the...
Go out the back! Quickly!
Hurry!
Is there no way down?
I know.
This way.
Jump.
The tape!
Hyungnim!
Hand it over.
Why are they doing that?
What about Hyungnim?
You do it with your eyes.
What do you do, you bastard?
Just what..
No, I don't need to know.
Revive my boss.
Why?
You can't revive a dead person?
Then why did you kill him?
What you said is right.
What?
I can control people I can see.
What are you?
Basta...
Answer me.
What are you?
I don't know.
You son of an evil spirit.
I'm an evil spirit?
You should disappear.
It's too strange that you're the only one that it doesn't work on.
Right?
Wait wait wait calm down.
Wait.
Go well.
Evil spirit.
Hey, you're the one that always throws around the trash here right?
I will leave on my daily routine.
Look here...
What do you think you are doing?
I am Representative Im from Utopia.
If you look at this tape, you'll know everything.
Really
I can't take responsibility if you take that off of him.
Stop worrying.
Go over here.
Have some coffee.
Come over here.
No.
It's okay.
You're saying that he can confuse people with his eyes?
Yes.
The company people
So he confused the company workers and made them go berserk.
Yes.
Yes, but two of them are from a different company.
Okay, so that's how your president died...
But you don't trust the eye-guy right?
Hey young man,
Are you perhaps on drugs?
You know
Like Heroine, or marijuana
or even glue.
No.
You don't smell like you're drunk.
You saw the CCTV (security video) right?
I did see the CCTV.
You were making quite a racket.
Show me your arm.
It's clean.
That
What does your school record
look like?
Dae Sung Middle....
You don't believe me right?
Who says that I don't believe you?
This is what the investigators do.
No no..
This is all just a part of the investigation process.
Drink the coffee.
There are so many crazy bastards.
What Utopia?
What is this world turning into?
Hey!
Is he breathing?
Take it off quickly.
Take it off!
I think there is something weird in the CCTV.
Are you crazy?
That guy is crazy!
I caught him...
The police station...
That bastard is finished.
No no, don't come.
It's okay. I don't know when I'll be finished here.
Then pack some soondae.
But I
I don't know why
I did feel nervous.
Come out, you bastard!
You can't control a baby either?
Let's stop this now, bastard.
Whose fault do you think it is that it's come this far?
What?
This bastard...
My boss and
these people who are here.
They're all like this because of you.
Why is that any of your concern?
Do your parents know?
Do they know you're going around doing this?
Who are you to kill people?
Who are you to control people?
Who are you to do whatever you want to do?
Then what are you?
I'm Utopia's representative Im, you son of a bitch!
No!
Bong Soon!
How, my baby!
It's okay.
It would have been better if you had stayed still.
Representative Im.
Ahjumma. Yes?
Please wrap the soondae. Yes.
Huh? Isn't this Hyungnim?
How much is it? $4.
Let's go quickly.
Give me that.
Come quickly! Bye!
Criminal number 8, Im Kyu Nam, is currently on the run...
Where are you going?
I'm going to play, why?
You're going to play?
Hyungnim.
So
what are you going to do now?
What else can I do?
I have to catch him!
Hyung, you pay taxes, don't you?
Do you know why you pay your taxes?
You do it because you're asking someone else to take care of these types of problems.
Why do you keep stepping forward
when you should be leaving this to the salaried public servants?
It must be my fate.
You sure like your fate.
Hey, Im Kyu Nam! you should live more smartly.
Why do you keep trying to mess up your already messed up life?
Ali, you know.
And so
I mean, why did I last time...
I understand brother's heart.
But doing things this way.
It's not something that can be handled by yourself.
Turn yourself in. Let's let the police catch him.
That bastard can't be caught by the police.
If not the police, then the investigators.
If not them, then
fuck there are so many more people out there than you!
It's fine.
This is the best thing to do.
For guys like us.
This is our fate.
At this rate, you'll be caught before we catch that guy.
But still, this is the only option right now.
Didn't president say that?
Life is about eating and staying alive.
If we eat and live, we'll meet him again.
Where are we going?
To where he's eating and living.
Well, after work shall we go eat eel or something?
The smell gets into my clothes.
I'll wash your clothes.
Welcome.
How much money did you need?
I'm looking for a person.
If you're looking for someone, you should go to a place that does that sort of thing.
We lend money here.
That guy may not be a person.
Would you like some sugar?
Yes, two spoons.
What do you mean he's not a person?
What does that mean?
He's a guy who goes around to places like this, stealing money.
He speaks Korean well.
That's right. Guys who steal aren't people.
You do know well but what is the reason for your coming here?
Does that work?
What does?
CCTV
Of course. Do you think I put that there just for show?
Did you perhaps record anything strange?
Or you are missing something in your records...
You know, like you take your pants off at night
But you feel some kind of gut feeling...
What is this? This oppa is very funny.
You must take off your pants a lot.
President, it's not that.
You must know that while working in this business, you could have a hatred for cops...
You bastards, really.
Miss Lee, can you see how hard I work?
These guys come in off the street and try to show me.
My younger brother is a cop.
Get out quickly, before I call the police.
If you verify it by watching the CCTV.
And so? What are you gonna do by watching the CCTV?
Get out. Get out.
Contact us if you find anything.
Come again!
You bastards.
Can you see? Yup.
Basically.
But will this work?
You said he did it with his eyes.
It should be good if we don't see him right?
Or not. Maybe he has to see us for it to work.
In any case, we have to try.
Okay, so please concentrate on this.
With one hit of this, he will be blind even during the day.
How is it? Is it okay?
We can't return it to the police.
That's why I experimented with it.
Boba.
I told you I'm not done with that yet. Why do you keep touching it?
Did you try shooting it?
I have to test it now.
Boba.
Hasta la vista.
Baby.
Who are you?
We came from Seoul.
What's the problem?
It's been 20 years since he's been here. Do you think we can find anything here?
There's nothing.
This ahjumma doesn't even know what her child looks like
Officer Choi!
Yes.
This is really hard.
You're exhausted, right?
Aigoo..
Where is he hiding?
Hyung.
After you find that bastard,
what are you going to do after that?
Although you're not affected by him.
Other people are.
This isn't a fight just between you and him.
The bigger problem is fighting against all the people he controls.
In any case, there are 3 of us.
That bastard is by himself.
What can he do by himself?
I don't know.
In any case, let's finish this.
And then have a nice relaxing drink.
At Mool Mang Cho.
What?
Mool Mang Cho?
Where is that?
A beer bar at the end of Third Street.
When did you find out about that place?
Okay.
Let's have a relaxing drink there.
I'll treat.
I don't drink alcohol!
You're telling me to drink cider again?
Was that guy looking for us too?
Hey!
Boba!
Come to your senses, you bastard.
Come to your senses!
This won't do.
Hey, Boba!
Where is that bastard?
I don't see him.
Do you see him?
Hyung, where are you going?
Put your helmet on.
What are you going to do?
Stay here.
You're really not dead.
I thought you were dead.
But what's the use in going through all the effort of looking for me?
What will you do?
But that..
is useless.
You're only making things worse.
It's something that should have happened without much fuss.
But because of you, things have come to this.
Your company's president
died because of you!
Do you know that?
Right now, these people
don't know what they are doing.
They won't remember.
Because of you, many people are losing things.
And could die.
And have died.
What about it?
What do you think if all of these people here were to die?
Who will they blame?
You?
Me?
Hey crazy bastard!
All.
You.
It's all your doing.
Really?
Then I'll try it one time.
Don't do that.
STOP THAT!!!
Who is going to win?
Will it be me who has so many people that will fight.
Or will it be you who has to fight so many people?
But you..
Do you really know who you're fighting?
Stop mumbling from your hiding spot.
Come out right now!
What happened here?
Did you see anything?
Shoot.
Did we hit him?
You're the one who did the shooting. Shouldn't you know?
Well done.
Hey!
Take the car and go catch him.
Do you understand?
I'll shoot from here.
He's coming.
Boba!
I told them to stay there
Ali! Boba!
Boba!
Stay still. They aren't dead yet.
Hanging kills fairly quickly...
What do you want me to do?
What?
What do you want?
I don't want anything.
Then. Let's stop.
Who are you to decide that?
After making this matter get to this point you want me to...
Stop.
That doesn't even make any sense.
What?
Am I wrong?
Should we ask your friends?
Boba, Ali, are you okay?
Come to your senses.
Wait..
Why are you caught, hyung?
Hyung is alright.
Don't worry about me.
Okay?
Nothing bad will happen.
I'm alright
I'm not okay.
[Says something in Ghana language..]
Don't cry Boba.. How embarrassing!
Stop joking around! Let us down, you bastard!
Do you still think I'm joking around?
You still don't understand this situation?
Because of you, I... damn!
You.
shouldn't have met me from the start.
Also
the same goes with your friends.
And the president.
And you..
should not have met anyone at all.
Stop with the nonsense and let us down.
My friends have nothing to do with this.
What do you mean they have nothing to do with this?
You're the reason why they're going to die!
And you.
You're going to die because you met me.
Being different from other people...
it's hard.
Right?
You..
had an eventful life.
Stop.
Please, stop!
I beg you!
Getting your loved ones taken..
is a bad feeling.
No!!
You've suffered a lot in the meantime.
Representative Im.
Wake up.
The weather is so... shit..
Where is Young Sook?
There are so many people.
Hey.
Do you like me?
Stop talking nonsense and tell me where Young Sook is.
I told you they're all dying because of you.
Did you kill Young Sook?
Are you a person?
Go with Young Sook, you bastard.
What? No no.
No.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been anything.
You would have just lived as representative Im.
Right?...
Also, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have done all this.
If you want to let her live.
You should have died.
Why did you continue to struggle to live?
I don't need anything now.
I won't die until I kill you.
I'll kill you and live till I die.
And save as many as you have killed.
I finally understand why my powers won't work on you.
But I only wanted to live too!
Hey, you bastard.
What's your name?
That's right.
Who will know me
and remember me?
If we had met under different circumstances,
would we have been friends?
Could we..
have been?
I could have gone by myself to dad.
I will definitely pass the driver's test this time so
let's be patient.
Wait a moment.
Hey, look over there.
