So this situation came about because someone pretended to be Poong Cha?

That's right.

You rockhead. You fell for that? (using his nickname Jjang Ddol which means a rock)

To be a transporter, you have to bribe with at least 50,000 won.

But what? You paid 5,000 won?

Do you carry your head around as decoration? Huh?

I am sorry.

Poong Cha. - Yes, Hyungnim.

Find him.

I'm going to have to tie those bastards up and teach them a lesson.

This is becoming unnecessarily chaotic.

Hey, Kang Gae.

Whether he gets hit in his eyes or behind his back, what's that got to do with us?

Why does it not matter?

If there are more people who sell out our name, then the reputation of Dobi Gang goes down. If that happens-

Reputation as smugglers, bullshit.

Either way, we're Dobinories (smugglers) who risk our lives. We should be satisfied with earning a lot of money.

Don't you agree?

You find him.

Pardon?

Instead of yapping with your mouth, go find him.

Move your butt along, bastard.

Aren't you going?

You're late.

The water is moving too fast.

If I wasn't careful, I would have been swept until Hwanggumpyong Island.

What about the goods?

I almost forgot about your quick temper.

You're out of your mind, smuggling cigarettes and liquor.

Even if I work hard, I only earn about 30 cents.

I have no thought of living like that for the rest of my life.

If you get caught, you'll die.

I'll die in Dandong, you'll die in Shin Eui Joo.

You're worrying about indigestion even before you eat.

Next month's full moon. Same time, same place.

Without a word, the tears fall.

Do you need to use the restroom? Why are you twisting your body back and forth?

What's wrong?

You see... so...

Jung Tae is... - Where is Jung Tae?

Did he fight or get beaten up?

So... - Just tell me, you jerk.

At Shin Eui Joo Hospital-

What are you doing here?

Where's that girl going now?

Tell me. What's going on?

Good bye.

That jerk who has poop all over his opportunities. (cursing him)

Office of Bool Gom Gang : Shin Eui Joo Rickshaw Labor Union Headquarters

I heard that a mahjong place opened in Yeongcheonpo.

It seemed like the Chinese were supporting them with money.

Go over there and pee. Don't forget to warn them that if they cross Yeongcheonpo, that I'm going to kill them.

I understand.

Oh Hyungnim. - Hey.

What is that?

It's nothing.

Take it off.

You can't take it off?

Oh wow. You have a big nose. They say that if your nose is big, it's also big (sexual joke). I'm jealous.

I tripped and fell.

You fell?

I'm sorry.

I'm Bool Gom. You're Do Ggoo.

Are we at some African savannah? Why are our names like this?

You have to step on them viciously like an animal,

so that they won't be able to fight back again.

I will take your words to heart.

You don't have to repay back gracefully, but you have to take revenge three-folds.

If you go around getting beat up, then I will take you down with my own hands.

Understand?

Yes, master.

Make sure to eat well.

Yes.

Put on a bandage at all times. It looks nasty.

Hey. - Yes, Hyungnim.

What happened to that bastard, Shin Jung Tae?

Well...

Find him.

Even if you have to go to the ends of Shin Eui Joo, find him.

When did you wake up?

Just now.

I should go.

What? You're here for a visit, but you're leaving only after snoring?

You don't have any broken bones and your heart is beating well. Then that's good enough.

Ah, I shouldn't have come.

I thought you were dying.

You're really leaving?

I'll visit Chung Ah and go home. She'll be worried.

Ok Ryeon.

I'm sorry,

and thanks.

Choo Wol, Oppa's here. Let's drink some hard liquor.

You drink western alcohol now?

Wow, your fortune must have opened up a bit.

If you guys smuggle on trains and bring the goods over, then I sell them.

So you should be saying thank you to me. Don't you think?

We don't smuggle so that you can go yapping around with your mouth.

You should know your place and drink leftovers.

Bong Sik, your words are a bit harsh.

Harsh? So what are you going to do about it? You want to fight?

You know what? If we fight, it's not going to end with one or two dead.

You talk bullshit.

Stop your screeching and move over.

Gosh, my eyes.

Th... that b-

I'm going to die out of frustration.

Unnie, you learned to write, right?

Uh, yeah. When I went to primary school.

Please teach me.

What? For free?

Yes. For free.

Okay. For free.

Mokpo Lady said this.

Jung Tae is very similar to my dad.

So he's always fighting.

If he's going to be like his father, couldn't he be exactly like his dad? He's always getting beaten up.

Unnie,

have you ever seen my dad?

Just once.

His back was as wide as a table.

His fists were like rocks.

No one dared to look at him straight.

Your dad was that great.

136, you're released.

You are someone who would take out the belly of a mosquito and try to eat it!

You want to foresee the future with 1 won?

You're still the same.

Young Chool.

He will come.

Oh...

Did the time go by already?

Please look after him.

Me, I can't look after myself.

Elder sir.

Okay.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Please stay healthy, sir.

Take care of your body, too.

Someone like me can die, but people like you need to live long.

What are you doing there?

You said you were coming tomorrow.

Have you already finished your praying?

Follow me.

You're stealing money now? And sleeping out?

Mr. Kim was so angry that he wanted to tell on you.

I begged and asked him not to.

You know why I stole that money.

I couldn't bear leaving Chung Ah alone, so I stayed with her.

If you need money, you can tell me.

Is that so?

Then give me some money.

For her to have surgery in Japan, they need 100,000 won.

Let me borrow it. 100,000 won.

Are you done hitting me? Then I will leave.

Kim Ok Ryeon.

That's money. Keep it right.

Jjang Ddol told me.

I'm sorry.

You're the one beaten up, so why are you sorry?

Let's see.

They're filled with swallow's nests. A swift bird...

gathers sea plants and bind it with their spit to make a nest.

Gangsters eat this often.

This is best for making new skin grow. (helps to heal)

It's expensive. Eat up.

Where did you learn to fight?

Kid, you have to loosen up your upper body so that it'll lash out immediately.

Immature.

What's so funny? Let mom in on the joke.

You're here.

Mom?

Do you have to give birth to be a mom? If I raised him, I'm his mom.

I drank his blood to live.

If he leaves his money that's like his blood (comparison to show how precious that money is),

then I'll have to lie down in bed out of heartache for 3 days.

Mom, you're exaggerating.

But even so, I keep waiting for that envelope.

So I wonder if I'm human sometimes.

How many people died from pneumonia that only developed from a simple cold?

Cheon Shik, Choon Ja, Seok Kyu, In Ah, Mi Ja, Kyeong Sook...

People...

shouldn't be dying because of a cold.

Please take care of your body.

There are more than a hundred kids who are looking up to you, Mother.

Yes, okay. Thank you. Thank you, son.

Shin Eui Joo Station

Pretty lively here.

It's more chaotic than Gyeongsan these days.

We will leave now.

First,

I want to see Gaya.

Yes.

It is made in U.S.A.

I don't lie.

How many do you have?

How many do you need?

As many as you have.

The source for American cigarettes have dried out, you know.

5 won for one pack. I have 40.

Hmm... Let's take off 1 won.

For a young one, you're pretty strict.

Alright, alright. 50 won.

That much you can-

Get out.

Get out!

Hey, it's been a while.

*You've been selling cigarettes to _____, right?

*And you're the one who sold Japanese powder to the _____ in Dandong?

This is American. You're pretty skilled.

You know that liquor, cigarettes, and Japanese powder are my items, right?

Look at this girl!

Even amongst smugglers, there's are rules of trade.

Even for us, when we cross other people's borders, we wear a protective vest...

Because someone might knife me.

But you, with what confidence are you going around like this?

Without even a protective vest?

To bury you, it takes too much effort to dig a hole.

Oh! We can call it a trade.

It's simple.

For 40 packs of American cigarettes, I think I can let you go this once.

Instead of offering wine, you get a punishment drink.

Instead of letting you go, you die.

Hey, take care of her.

Go around. We're a bit busy here.

Run, then you'll live.

Ah, this isn't the place for a Jap like you...

What are you doing, you bastards?

Instead of offering wine, you get a punishment drink.

Instead of being let go-

Don't come.

Don't come, I'll kill her.

You Japanese bastard.

I dare you to come.

Why are you hesitating?

Your knife already fell.

You probably wanted to run.

You had enough time.

But

your feet probably didn't move.

That

is fear.

From now on,

you will live under unimaginable fear.

You have to be victorious over them all.

That way you can live.

Live

so you can take revenge.

Who are you?

I said who are you? Tell me.

Tell me. Who are you?

ANSWER ME!

I took care of it.

I will leave now.

Daedong Oil : Dobinori Gang Headquarters

Give me my money.

Give me back my money, you bastards!

You can beat them up until your anger lessens.

But the money is not going to show up.

But you can use them that much more.

Hyungnim. -Aishhhhh.

Do I have a cold?

You did that on purpose, huh?

Well, you know there's a saying.

"Human and sneezes cannot be hidden."

Did I tell you to hide it?

You can sneeze somewhere else.

You jerk.

Where do you cheat on your wife?

Do you cheat in front of her?

No, you hide it well and cheat.

I'm sorry.

First, sit down.

They call you Jung Tae?

Yes.

Listen to me well.

There are three big waters that feed this country.

First is the Han River (Hankang-su).

Second is the Yalu River (Aprok-su).

The third is smuggling. (A pun where 'su' is the Chinese character for water, and smuggling is written 'mil-su' in Korean.)

Do you know someone named Moon Ik Jeom?

I haven't been able to meet him yet.

Anyways. Since the day he smuggled a cotton seed inside the cap of his brush,

the history of smuggling in this country started.

Do you understand?

Because of him, our fathers and mothers

were able to go under warm cotton blankets in the cold winters

and give birth to us.

Think about it.

When the cold wind is blowing in, do you think you can do it under thin covers?

When we're fighting to stay unfrozen. Don't you agree?

Ri.. right.

So...

What I'm saying is that smuggling isn't all that bad.

To tell it to you straight,

join the Dobinori Gang.

There's a train that stops at Shin Eui Joo and goes across the continent.

This train called Chakra is as fast as the light.

But there is one point where that light slows down a bit.

No more, no less than 10 seconds.

Dobinori is only possible within those 10 seconds. (Dobinori means train hopping.)

If you grab on, you live. If you don't, you die.

That's the life of a Dobinori.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

Stop dreaming.

You're far from being able to train hop yet.

Hyungnim.

Kang Gae, you're here?

Eat a bowl and go.

Bring a full bowl out.

Okay.

What happened?

I heard you gave that jerk, Jung Tae, a transporter's position.

With whose permission are you letting that kind of jerk in Dobi Gang?

Every one of my guys that I brought, it was you who let them go.

"With whose permission?"

Hey, our Kang Gae sure grew up.

I'm so scared that all the rice is going to come out of my ass.

If you look at the situation right, I'm going to let him join the gang.

So be informed.

Ai, Hyungnim.

You asked why I suddenly let a boy into the Dobi Gang, right?

If you have someone who's brave enough to jump a train alone, bring him.

If you show me such a guy, I'll take him.

Sit and eat.

Otherwise, get lost.

Also, I better not see any more of you today.

Kang Gae,

do you understand?

Move it over here.

You're here?

I was going to play but my whole body aches.

The wage is about 1 won?

That's how it is.

Oh, but if we do it for a few more months

they say that they will raise it to 2 wons.

Approximately, for one month it's 50 Won.

For a year it's 600 Won.

If for about ten years we only drink water, we may be able to save.

I, that money...

no matter what, I'll pay it back.

I'm sorry, Jung Tae.

I can't look at your face.

What exactly is a Dobinori?

What?

Yeah.

'Dobi' for flying, 'nori' for riding.

As the word describes, it's literally flying (jumping) to ride the train.

There's no inspection between borders and it's fast.

So it's best for smuggling.

But the thing is

the train, people get run over and die, get hit and die, while they're getting off they die...

It's dangerous.

They do earn as much for it though.

I'm going to join the Dobi Gang...

together with you.

Really?

You bastards, whenever you have the chance, you slack off.

You guys aren't going to work?!

Are you done?

"Are you done?"

You slave-like bastards, are you crazy?

I worked half of a day,

so I get 50 cents, right?

That's right.

(mumbling)

What?

(mumbling)

What?

Add this to the cost of your medicine and use it.

Ahh, goddammit.

I can't live because it's so loud.

Hey, what am I supposed to do if you screech like that?

If others see this, they'll think we're beating you up, huh?

Does it hurt a lot?

Should I apply medicine for you?

So why did you drag around a three-wheeled bike?

A three-wheeled bike might be okay in Pyeongyang, but

in Shin Eui Joo, we have rickshaws.

Listen punk, I told you that the other stuff wasn't all right.

Why do you have to go and

be all stubborn? Stubborn.

Please let me live.

All right, all right. I'll let you live.

Why would I kill you?

Hey,

Just take the metal out and sell it to the junk shop.

Yes.

I think I'll just have to sell it and get some candy instead.

Why do I keep getting these useless folks?

Hyungnim!

We found Jung Tae.

Get your weapons.

Yes. Yes!

For Dobinori

and Chung Ah's health!

Hey!

Hey punks, who do we have here?

I'm so happy to see you.

I thought I was going to die, I missed you so much.

They say that you meet your enemies on a single log bridge.

As always, our ancestors never lie.

This time... Hey,

I didn't know that a human being's nose could grow as large as that.

Thanks for letting me know you bastard.

I'll buy some time so hurry up and escape.

This time it's my turn to get beaten, you escape.

Listen to me.

Listen to my words at least once.

What do you think you're doing here?

Are we going to play hide and seek here?

Don't worry because I'll turn you both into bloody pulps.

Get them!

That jerk

I'm sorry.

Who wants to die first?

Step on them.

Step on them!

I'm telling you again.

If you want to kill me,

you guys have to be prepared to die.

Just know that you're going to die next time, from my hands.

Just kill him.

Kill him!

Stop the car.

Koreans...

They're only full of wickedness.

Reputation or loyalty, things such as that, do not exist for them because

they're beast like beings.

Who is that one?

He's a person called Do Ggoo.

As you can see,

he's a gangster of very little use.

What about that child?

It's my first time seeing him?

That kid is like a well grind knife.

His body is automatically reacting.

He's a natural born fighter.

However, what I want

isn't a fighter.

Chung Ah aghassi!

Your sister-in-law is here.

Aghassi!

Chung Ah!

Chung Ah! Come to your senses!

Help me!

Chung Ah!

Don't give up, Chung Ah. You can live.

Don't give up. Please.

Please.

Poong Cha?

You gangsters.

- How have you not changed at all? - Let go.

This is Dobi Gang territory. If you guys make chaos here, we won't forgive you.

Who decided that? Have you decided to make territories and conquer them on your own?

How are you involved with Do Ggoo?

Please pretend like you didn't see that.

I can't. That's why I'm asking.

Because of me, Jung Tae couldn't hold back and...

Follow me.

You... Are you sure you know how to play five in a row?

You don't, huh?

Gosh, you stupid bastard. I'm going to-

Gosh. It looks like you painted pepper paste all over my kid.

In our territory, he touched our kids.

What? Since when did Dobi Gang care about territories?

*From the front of the train station up to the Daetong Market, don't collect rent. Don't fight for rickshaw territory, either.

And...

don't you dare touch even a finger of one of ours.

Gosh, I'm so scared. So you're saying

that because of that jerk, Jung Tae, our Do Ggoo is in that condition?

Jung Tae. Our Jung Tae, you grew up a lot.

That kid, who ate dirt,

I made him pull rickshaws so that he could eat three rice meals.

But he's hitting me on the back hard (betraying me).

My eyes are going to pop out, you bastard.

The money that I earned running until my body wore out, my money, that's like blood to me.

You gave these and those excuses and took almost all of it.

So, don't even talk about betrayal.

I don't owe you anything.

Oh mom!

You... you?

You just called me, "you"? (Jung Tae used informal language to him.)

Wow, I'm going to go crazy.

When we see your face alone,

I'll sincerely, truly love you. (meaning that he'll beat him hard)

You'll know what happens if you touch the Dobi Gang? If you touch even a finger on one of ours, then I'll come back. When I do,

I'll love you more.

You. Do you know what happens if you touch the Bool Gom Gang?

I'll teach you.

You'll be saying, "Ah, this is what it tastes like."

That sounds delicious.

Was beating him up enough? Why did they come all the way here?

You know the reason I didn't go into smuggling isn't because I fear Bong Shik.

It's all because of that jerk, Poong Cha.

*If I just do one round of smuggling ______,

I know I can earn a year's worth of wages, but I'm scared of him. That's why I can't do it.

Hyungnim.

In other words, if he doesn't exist, then the Dobi Gang is nothing.

If he's dead, then I can get all the smuggling jobs.

As long as they know that you two are a part of the Dobi Gang, the Bool Gom Gang won't be able to touch you easily.

But just because of that, it'll be hard for us if you go fooling around.

There isn't just one or two people who is after the Dobi Gang.

Are you alright?

This, here.

Take it.

Get a suit for yourselves and take the rest as allowance.

Even though we earn money working like dogs, we spend it like kings. That's how the Dobi Gang lives.

Thank you, Hyungnim.

Dobinori.

Let me jump a train.

It's not as simple as that. To become a train jumper, you have to pass a test by jumping off the bridge at Yalu River.

The bridge is 30 meters high, and you might faint due to the shock of hitting the water.

You might be swept by the water up to Yongampo.

I'm not scared.

There aren't just train jumpers in Dobi Gang. There are transporters who carry the goods, or people who watch over the goods.

There are those who contact the big buyers and privately sell the goods. There are a lot of levels.

Your life is at risk. Jung Tae! You have to look towards your future.

But-

Let's go.

Ok Ryeon.

What is it at this time?

It's good that you're here. Take this and eat-

What's wrong?

Chung Ah.

Where's Chung Ah?

Chung Ah isn't here.

While you were out and about, fighting, your sister almost died. Do you understand?

You can't leave her alone.

Was it that hard?

I'll go back home. Oppa must be worried.

Oppa.

You fought, didn't you?

You know I hate it when you fight.

I'm sorry, Chung Ah.

I'm sorry.

Don't cry. I forgot

that once I feel the paralysis, I need to cough. The head doctor told me this once.

Strangely, I keep forgetting.

I must be stupid.

This time, it didn't hurt that much.

Really. It didn't hurt at all.

Just... I felt frustrated.

So, don't cry, Oppa.

Don't cry.

Jung Tae!

Don't call me. Don't even mouth it.

Chung Ah

thinks you're dead. So quietly disappear.

Like you have been doing.

This father,

I'm deeply ashamed.

Who's a father?!

Do you know how many times I've seen you?

Three times. Since I was born, only three times!

When mom died, where were you? Huh?

When Chung Ah was sick and ripped her heart apart every night, where were you?!

Father?

What kind of a father are you?

Where is there a father like you in this world?

Aish!

It's the last time.

Just leave us alone.

If...anything ever happens to Chung Ah again,

Then I really won't sit still.

I don't know,

I might kill you.

What? Are you making any sense right now?

Don't say anything and just let them know.

Didn't you hear Poong Cha hyung? You can die.

See you later.

Hey, Jung Tae. Shin Jung Tae!

Don't sell them all at once. If you get more than the price we set, we won't give you any more to sell. So don't try anything.

Hyungnims!

Hyungnims! Gosh. Jung Tae!

Hyungnims!

What? What? What? What?

Jung Tae-

What about Jung Tae?

He says he's going to jump off the bridge.

Because it's the end of the rain season, the water has swollen up a bit.

Once he jumps, he's going to be swept away immediately.

It's very easy to faint as soon as he jumps.

By the force of the water right now, we'll probably find his body at Yongampo.

Enough already.

If he falls incorrectly, fainting is the least of his problems.

His intestines will twist and he'll float onto the Yalu River.

I said enough, you jerk.

That's not the problem.

JUNG TAE!

JUNG TAE!

Stop it, Shin Jung Tae!

Come down you fool.

What is all this for a little kid?

Jung Tae, hurry up and come down, you fool!

Jung Tae! Jung Tae!

Come down right now!

Come down!

Don't worry. He won't die.

Just shut up.

He won't be able to jump anyways. He probably peed in his pants.

-His legs are probably shaking so much that it's hard for him to stand up. -You little...

Hyungnim, hyungnim!

It's too late.

Jung Tae! Th.. th... the train!

Dodge it!

Get out of there!

He won't be able to jump.

He'll be sucked into the wind brought in by the train.

I'm going to go crazy.

Jung Tae! The train!

Jumping most likely means dying.

Are you crazy that you want to die?

Become my dog.

He has to be killed now. I will kill him.

It took me 18 years to find you. Not Gaya.

If you're around him one more time, I'm not going to leave you alone. Are you his girlfriend or something?

I have to end it now.

F.. father.

It's not my doing.

I'm going to take revenge in the most cruel way possible.

Don't you dare touch even the shadows of those I love.

The one who killed my mother. Who is it?

Go and plant the flag of Ilgookhwae.

Grace, twice-fold. Revenge, ten-folds.

Who is that bastard?
