I've always seen these things at Korean medicine clinics.

Did you buy it at a shop?

Shoot.

Or is it custom-made?

How did you find me?

Well,

I saw your clinic business card.

You left it on your car window.

"Clinic director Han Sang-hun."

I guess I exerted myself more than I realized that night.

My shoulders really hurt.

Maybe acupuncture could help.

Since you're a doctor of Korean medicine, you must be skilled in physical therapy.

What are you playing at?

I did a lot of thinking that day,

and…

it… suddenly occurred to me.

"No matter how I look at it, this is wrong."

How could a human possibly do such a thing--

So what? Are you saying you'll report it to the police?

I couldn't do that.

I gave you my word.

I even received a modest sum for it.

So?

So?

I was thinking…

I'd like another 30 million.

KARMA

Father.

Dad.

If I get busted, I'm totally fucked.

Get a grip.

Keep it together.

If I get busted, I'm fucked.

I need to verify where you were on the day of the incident.

Right.

We can talk later if this isn't a good time for you.

No, now's fine.

Let's just do it now.

Where were you on the evening of the accident?

That evening?

Well, I had dinner with a friend of mine.

Then I went to a karaoke bar.

I went to the karaoke bar alone.

My friend suddenly had to head home.

I didn't notice anything strange.

He didn't sing. He just talked, but that was about it.

-Said he wasn't in the mood to sing, no? -Yeah.

He also said he'd come more often and gave us a huge tip.

NOVEMBER 10, 22:50 VISITED A 24-HOUR LOTTERIA

Have you seen this man?

He was here last week.

How long did he stay?

He had a burger and pretty much stayed the whole night.

But how did you remember him right away?

-Sorry? -Well, you must get a lot of customers.

It's interesting how you remembered him from just a photo.

I guess you're right.

I don't know. I just remembered him

somehow.

DONGHWA LIFE

-Hello. How may I help you? -Hello.

I'm here to collect my death benefit.

Oh, right.

My father died in a hit-and-run.

-I see. -Number 48!

Please give me a moment. I'll assist you shortly.

Will it be paid out today?

The case is still being assessed. I'll assist you further shortly.

-Should I wait back there? -Yes.

Thank you.

Next, number 50!

FUCKING CHINK

Number 53!

Excuse me, miss.

Yes, sir?

Is it still not done?

I'm sorry, sir.

Could you please wait a little longer?

What?

I'm number 46. Right now, it's…

Number 68? Please have a seat.

Bye, I'm off.

Have a good evening.

Take care.

Hello, sir?

Got it. Thank you.

Number 46?

We've kept you waiting for so long. We'll assist you right away.

I've been waiting for three hours.

Shouldn't you at least apologize?

My apologies. The assessment took longer than expected.

Sorry we kept you waiting.

You…

Here.

It's five million won.

CHAPTER 3 THE UNRIGHTEOUS

It doesn't look like we can pay this out now.

Sorry?

We've investigated this internally and checked the police report.

We can't pay this out right away.

Why not?

We don't yet know if this was a simple accident

or if someone deliberately killed your father for the insurance--

"Someone"?

"Someone"?

Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean it the way you're thinking.

We need to get the facts straight.

The contract makes it sound like there's an immediate payout upon death.

You won't pay me now?

I'm not saying we won't pay it out.

My father contributed for ten years, and you won't pay me?

What I'm saying is, we need a thorough evaluation.

There's nothing wrong with this legally.

This is standard procedure for claims.

You could just sign off on it!

Are you trying to fuck me over with this bullshit?

You're rather foul-mouthed, and you're being rude.

So what?

Should I call the police?

The police?

If you keep rushing us like this, it will only cause more delays.

Also, don't you think I'd be more inclined to help you if you were more polite?

Okay, you're right.

-I'm sorry. I got a little too worked up. -Right.

I just lost my father, so I'm not in my right mind.

Right, of course.

And about that day at the hospital, I was rude to you.

I apologize.

Don't worry about it.

Please take good care of this.

See how nice it is now that you're talking so politely?

Politeness begets politeness, you know?

Hold on one second.

It's our company's 30th anniversary.

We're giving this to our clients to show our appreciation.

Don't forget to take this, and I'll be in touch.

I'm in a bit of a rush. Please take good care of it.

Don't worry. Take care.

Damn it.

GUHOE FUNERAL HOME

MONEY DUE D-16

A big one's coming.

A huge sum.

Mr. Park? One moment, please.

Yes?

We haven't received your deposit yet.

We need a deposit to provide meals and ensure the funeral proceeds smoothly.

Sir?

Get in.

CONDOLENCE BOX

-Use this. -Sorry?

Take this money as the deposit.

Bring that box back.

Okay.

What are you doing?

What do you think? I paid the deposit.

If you don't like what you see, pay up, Auntie.

It's not like you'll pay.

-Was it a good turnout? -You know your father lived a quiet life.

Damn, the funeral will cost quite a bit.

Don't you know why your father lived like that?

You're the reason he lived like a hermit and did nothing but volunteer at church.

I'm exhausted. That's enough, okay?

All right.

We shouldn't do this in front of him. Let's drop it.

There's a guest inside. Go and say hello.

Who is it?

How would I know? He's your guest!

What the hell are you doing here?

You weren't answering your phone,

and you didn't even come home.

I had to see you, so I had no choice but to come here.

You shouldn't be here.

You shouldn't be here as the chief mourner either.

Stop stuffing your face and come with me.

Hey.

Did you think I'd be intimidated if you showed up like this?

That's none of my business.

I did my job, so I should get paid.

"Paid"?

Are you asking me to pay you after how badly you fucked up?

All I did was kill him, as you told me to.

Then you should've left him there as you were told.

Why did you have to move the body and fuck everything up?

Why complicate things by moving him and burying him on a mountain?

I'll be the first one they suspect, you bastard!

He was alive.

What?

He was still alive, and he saw my face.

And?

Must I describe the entire process?

When you do these jobs, you always run into unexpected variables.

But the amount that was promised can never be a variable.

Otherwise…

someone else could get hurt.

Do you get me?

Don't touch me, you fucking chink.

Wait in the alley, and when he shows up, run him over.

-Turn it off. I said, turn it off! -If I deliberately run him over…

There are no cameras in that alley.

Have it ready by the end of the week.

I'll give this to you then.

How could he hire someone to kill his own father?

Savage motherfucker.

WELCOME TO PAJU

Had a good day? I see you're having a feast.

-There you are. -What took you so long?

I had to take care of something.

Let me go get changed.

All right, man. Guys, let's eat.

I'm seeing her next week.

Hey, seriously? For real?

Man, you've still got it.

Drinks are on you if it goes well.

-Go get us more booze. -All right.

Can I borrow your lighter if you have one?

Sure, why not?

Just now, weren't you in the junkyard where my buddies work?

Why are you leaving without saying a word?

Well, I…

I need an auto part, so I wanted to know the price,

but you seemed to be done for the day.

Where's your car?

Right, my car…

It won't start 'cause of the missing part, so I obviously couldn't drive here.

I'll come back another time.

Hey.

Don't forget your lighter.

Next time, I'll call before I--

Did that degenerate motherfucker send you?

CIVIL SERVANT BAEK JI-HUN NATIONAL POLICE

FUCKING CHINK

What is this?

He was trying to steal my voice recorder.

I couldn't just let this prick sneak out like that.

Wait.

So you're saying you killed a cop?

What the hell were you thinking?!

Don't forget that recorder has you on tape asking me to kill your father.

I'm going back to China tomorrow.

So?

Have the money ready by then.

Have the money by tomorrow?

The insurance might not even pay me. How could I have the money by tomorrow?!

You said you'd give me a week. Now you want it by tomorrow?

Did you not see the photo?

I'm not sparing you because I'm incapable of killing you.

You have until tomorrow.

If you want to live, get the money ready immediately.

Hey, wait. Jang Gil-ryong?

Fuck!

That fucking bastard.

You're asking to get whacked.

You will die on this soil.

This is vengeance for my father.

It suddenly occurred to me.

"No matter how I look at it…

this is wrong."

How could a human possibly do such a thing--

So what? Are you saying you'll report it to the police?

I couldn't do that.

I gave you my word.

I even received a modest sum for it.

So?

I was thinking…

I'd like another 30 million.

What?

I've been racking my brain,

and that only seems fair.

Give me another 30 million,

and I'll be off your mind for good.

You have my word.

I'll send it to you this week.

I knew I could count on you. Thank you.

But I can't give you any more.

Yes, I am fully aware that this is your limit, sir.

Shall I write down my bank account--

It'll be in my recent transfers.

Right, of course.

Sorry for taking up your time when you're busy.

I'll be off, then.

Sir?

Stay strong, sir!

You work so hard.

I brought you some pastries and cake.

Thank you.

Are you a friend of Dr. Han's?

Yes, we recently became close.

He's so easygoing and very generous.

Always willing to give to those in need.

He may not look it, but he has a tender heart.

-I know. -I didn't even offer you coffee.

-Would you like something to drink? -No, I'm good.

I have somewhere to be.

I'll come back another time.

Feel free to visit us anytime.

Thank you. Take care.

Fuck!

Yes, hello?

Mr. Han Sang-hun, right?

Yes, speaking.

We're finished with the repairs.

The damage was worse than I'd initially thought.

-It must've been a serious accident. -Water deer are pretty big.

You hit a water deer?

Yes.

I'll settle up.

That's strange.

It really was a water deer.

It's just that the hood was dented, but the front bumper was totally fine.

If you hit something running towards you, the bumper is usually damaged.

Then again, water deer can jump, so I guess this could have happened.

Anyway, I'll go run the card.

Sir, what are you doing?

Excuse me, sir?

Can't you see that we're sorting this?

Seriously. Will you please stop?

Please.

There.

Fuck, this isn't it.

Hold on, Yu-jeong.

Don't you want it? I think this guy down here likes it.

Yu-jeong, there's a rest stop coming up. Let's do it there.

But I want to do it now.

It fell from above.

The body fell from above.

Somewhere above… Fuck! It fell from above.

It fell from above. It fell from fucking above!

How did it fall from above?

Above?

Hold on.

Fucking hell. Maybe this is it?

That motherfucker!

SANG-HUN

I thought you didn't want us to stay in touch.

That bastard orchestrated everything.

-What do you mean? -The accident that night.

That crazy bastard staged the whole thing.

What are you saying all of a sudden?

I didn't hit a walking man.

That bastard pushed him off the overpass.

You're not making sense right now.

I just checked my dashcam.

I knew something was off about him.

Now this fucking asshole wants 30 million more?

Does he think I'm a fucking half-wit?

So what should we do now?

We can't even report him.

I'm reporting him.

What?

Ultimately, I didn't kill that man. I'd only have to pay a DUI fine.

But you buried him.

I'll say that bastard threatened me to do it.

Who do you think the cops will believe? A murderer or a doctor?

I just need you to talk to them.

Then we'd be in the clear.

All right.

Let's go to the police station together. I'll help you.

Thanks, Yu-jeong. For real.

I'll come to you now.

Okay.

Come on, get in.

I'm too scared to get in that car.

All right, fine.

So this jerk orchestrated everything?

He's totally out of his mind.

Hey, I didn't know you smoked.

That means he was there, prepared to do this.

He must have been waiting on that overpass.

But don't you think it's odd?

-What is? -How did he know that we'd drive by?

Obviously, he didn't know that. We were just unlucky.

You think so?

Of course. What else could it be?

You and I were the only ones who knew we'd be driving by at that time.

Hey.

Four-eyes.

Who taught you to whine and ask women for money?

You call that being a man?

-What? -Fuck! Your breath stinks.

Can't you talk with your damn mouth closed?

Why do you look so surprised? How fucking annoying.

Hey.

Look at this.

See these numbers?

They're all messages from guys begging to buy me drinks in Apgujeong.

Do you think someone like me would want to hang out with a loser like you?

What a fucking moron.

Fuck.

-What did you say? -Fuck.

-Hey! -What?

-Who the fuck are you? -Got a death wish?

Hey.

Did you think I really liked you?

-Let go. -Do you?

You fucking bitch, you're all plastic. Do you want me to fucking end you?

Run your fucking mouth again.

Go on!

Die!

What the hell?

Come on, sir. That's enough.

You motherfuckers!

Hold it tight so I don't smell his bad breath.

That disgusting creep. So annoying.

That's gross!

He looked like a gullible dumbass, so I thought he was a moron.

He could have really fucked us over.

This is why people in our line of work

must be careful until the job is finished.

Fucking loser.

The issue now is where we should dispose of him.

True. We can't go back to Mt. Chowol.

No, we can't.

Let's just take him to our hometown. To that quiet place you know so well.

The place I know?

Right, that place.

Sounds good.

-All right, let's go. -Let's go!

Why can't I catch a break these days? I guess it's just not my year.

You always run into unexpected variables when you do these jobs.

You keep saying the right things, which isn't like you, you know?

I've been reading some books.

Something funny?

They say that when someone acts out of character, they'll soon die.

Who the fuck said that crap?

Hey, that's a load of crap.

Now we're talking. That's more like you, you know?

What are we going to do with this? Just bury him?

This thing here?

Yeah, we should.

As you know, I'm not the type to kill with my own hands.

Besides, I'm sure he'd prefer to live a few more minutes.

Sure. Do whatever you want.

We'll make it seem like he disappeared after getting threats over gambling debts.

Did you get that from a book too? What are you reading?

Yu-jeong, you've gotten smarter.

Fuck you.

Let's listen to some music.

Wow.

That's heavy stuff.

Hey, it's still here. Who knew?

Right? How long has it been?

What are you doing? Come on out.

You want me to dig too?

Women can pick up a shovel too.

We need this done before sunrise. Get out.

I just got my nails done today!

Get out. Take this.

Get out now.

For fuck's sake.

Hurry.

I can't believe I have to dig a hole in the middle of the night.

Wow.

It's been so long.

This brings back old memories.

What a crazy bitch.

What are you doing? Get over here.

Come on. Hurry.

All right, take a look here. This is where his head will be.

From here all the way to here. His legs will go here.

We have to dig a long hole. Got it?

Show me.

You're good. You should do it all by yourself.

Dig properly.

Damn, I can't do this anymore.

Do it by yourself.

We have to finish digging before he wakes up.

Come on, we've dug enough.

We need to dig deeper. I would know.

Just a bit more!

We're not digging a king's tomb. That's enough!

It's not.

Dig out these stones.

-Almost there! -You'll strike oil at this rate.

Stop cracking jokes and dig!

Give me a cigarette.

-Just hurry up and help me, okay? -I want a cigarette!

Okay, let's have a smoke.

Thank you.

This is not easy.

You said you needed to dig more.

What the fuck are you doing?

I'm fucking exhausted.

Hey, that pit totally suits you.

Bitch, you're fucking insane.

That's your grave.

Let's finish this up.

After everything I did for you.

You keep talking nonsense.

You fucking snake!

You're laughing?

Fucking bitch! I bet you thought I was a complete moron!

Do I still look like a fucking moron to you?

Stupid bitch, you didn't even go to college.

I'm way out of your league. How dare you run your mouth!

You fucking bitch!

Fucking whore.

Shit.

-You little fuck-- -Wait!

Just let me go now,

and I'll give you another 30, no, 50 million.

-Then send the money now. -Now?

I can't right now,

but I'll take out a loan!

You little shit.

Fuck.

Who do you think you're fooling? You prick, you were going to report me!

No, I won't! I swear I won't report you.

I won't report you. Please don't kill me.

You literally snapped that tiny girl in half, and what?

You're asking me to spare you? You fucking joker.

I got too emotional! I just couldn't control my anger.

I'm not in my right mind now. Please…

Please don't kill me. I'll give you more money--

Let's not overcomplicate things.

Let's just keep this nice and simple.

Fucking hell.

You motherfucker.

For fuck's sake.

Damn this son of a bitch. I don't have time for this!

LEE YU-JEONG

-We won't get caught. -Let's eat it on the way.

Didn't you say you're on a diet?

-I did, but-- -Yeah, you said that.

Are you Lee Ju-yeon?

Yes, I am.

We're from the media club.

We're making a promotional pamphlet for the school festival.

We'd love to have you on the cover. What do you think?

-Hey, that's awesome. -It's so cool.

You'd be the face of our school. We could make a great cover.

Weren't you meant to be on the cover of the pamphlet?

She acts shy, but that bitch sure gets what she wants.

That fucking bitch.

Congrats.

You look pretty on the cover.

Thanks.

I heard we were the two final candidates.

It would have been me if they hadn't picked you. Too bad.

Really?

You would've done a much better job.

I felt really awkward.

Well, that's not what's important now.

What are you doing this Saturday?

I don't have any special plans. Why?

-Do you want to go on a blind date? -Blind date?

After seeing this,

all the boys are pestering me to set them up with you.

I told them you're in my class, and they're hounding me.

Come on! Don't let me down, Ju-yeon.

Just come. Meet me at the café downtown at 4:00 p.m. this Saturday.

Wear something nice.

You should date like everyone else.

What are you, a loser?

Okay, let's do it.

Great.

Have fun, boys.

Who are you?

Why are you doing this to me?

Please let me go.

Don't!

NEUROSURGERY LEE JU-YEON

Fucking bastards.
