JINMAN: Listen up, Jian.
That's ridiculous.
They can't land a single shot from both sides?
No, no.
The main character
is using the blind spots really well to avoid the bullets.
Yeah, right. The movie's over if the main character dies.
Jeong Jian.
Tell me.
In this very moment,
do you think you can see everything perfectly?
Yes, of course.
It's right there. Why not?
Oh!
Listen up, Jian.
You're not a dragonfly.
You can't see everything with the human eye. Don't be mistaken.
There are always blind spots.
If you use those blind spots right like the guy in the movie does,
you can even survive a fiery pit.
Blind spots.
(EXHALES)
Jian.
What are you doing?
Well?
What the hell?
(LAUGHING)
Oh, baby girl.
You've watched too many movies.
But too bad.
I'm too far away.
Aren't I?

What are you doing right now?
Shit.
It's flying in from the left side.

The sound of the gunshot came from much higher and farther away.
What?
Where did she go?
-Hey, Bongo. -Yes?
Go forward a bit.
Going forward a bit.

Hey, stop.
-Let go! -Come on. Take it easy! Easy!
MAN: Officer. OFFICER: Yes?
MAN: Do you know what happened to me?
Come on. I'm the one that got hit. She's the one that hit me!
OFFICER: What? MAN: I'm telling you, I'm the victim!
MAN: Get up! OFFICER: Calm down!
Get up and kick me like you did earlier!
OFFICER: Sir, you're too worked up. Please calm down, okay?
Excuse me? When can I leave?
We're going to obtain the footage from the security cameras.
You can leave after that.
But...
-Did you really beat him like that? -MAN: She beat me!
OFFICER: Calm down so we can hear you. MAN: What's the problem?
Just let the law punish her. What's the problem?
OFFICER: Come on. MAN: Am I wrong?
What?
OFFICER: What is this?
JIAN: Can't I go now?
I didn't do anything wrong.
He's the one that came into the women's restroom.
I'm not saying you did anything wrong.
But you can't just beat up people like that.
You shouldn't have done that.
We wouldn't have to do this if you had just held him.
He says he's going to sue you for assault.
But he tried to throw a punch first.
Jian, you can't solve this on your own.
Call your guardian. You need to settle with him.
Can you call your parents or a family member?

CALLING JEONG JINMAN
(LINE RINGING)
-Hey, Uncle. It's me. -JINWOO: Ms. Jeong Jian?
Who is this?
This is Park Jinwoo, from Yecheong Police Station.
I was just about to call you.
Sorry?
Why would the police call me?
JINWOO: Well...
Please don't be too alarmed.
Mr. Jeong Jinman
is dead.
(SOMBER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

Why install security bars on the fifth floor?
What kind of crazy thief would climb up to the fifth floor to steal something?
-I don't even have any money. -It's done. There.
Also, this closet.
I know you paid for it,
but shouldn't you have considered my taste?
You really think this suits a 20-year-old girl's room?
It's retro.
You kids like retro things.
Unbelievable.
Also, take a look at this closet.
It's made of iron, right?
It's bulletproof.
It was very expensive.
What if it rains bullets?
Can you hear me? It sounds bulletproof, right?
You'll be safe in here.
(LAUGHS)
Why would it rain bullets here?
(SIGHS)
Forget it.
Just forget it.
Hey, Uncle.
Remember the convenience store owner who shorted me?
He got into a car accident a few days ago. He hurt his arms and legs.
He needs six months in the hospital.
I don't know what the accident did to him,
but he called and said he'd wire me all the money he didn't pay me.
And not just me but all the part-timers.
Isn't that crazy?
I was so pissed back then.
JEONG JIAN KYUNGSEO UNIVERSITY
I did what you taught me and shouted your name at the sky three times.
-I think that really worked. -Right.
I did that.
I broke his arms and legs.
Uncle.
You have a lot of scars on your face,
so you have the face of a criminal.
You can't joke around like that.
(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS)
Why are you taking pictures of this?
Why are you crossing the line?
When a soldier dies in a war, they lodge their dog tag between the teeth
to remember their service number.
Your registration number follows you from birth to death.
It means that the number given to you
is very, very important.
What are you talking about?
It's the same with your school ID number. Make sure you never forget it.
2-2-0-1-9-0-7-4.
Memorize the number all of a sudden?
2-2-0-1-9-0-7-4.
The last thing he said to me
is my school ID number.
I was just wondering...
You're Jinman's niece, aren't you?
I'm a friend of Jinman.
We went to the same middle and high school.
I saw you a few times when you were younger.
I don't know if you remember me.
Oh... Hello.
Hi to you too.
Wow! You got so big!
I heard you attend school in Seoul. Are you visiting your uncle?
So, how is Jinman?
He's dead.
Don't hold the funeral here.
The funeral home at that intersection is better.
This place is big, but it's lousy on the inside.
I'll call an employee I know that works there.
Once you book the room... Hold on.
This is my card.
Call me at this number.
Don't worry too much.
Thank you.
HANSARANG GYUNGAE HOSPITAL
JINWOO: Right, we'll verify the identity of the body now.
Is this Mr. Jeong Jinman?
But I was wondering...
When people commit suicide, don't they normally slit their wrists?
He was alone.
How did he cut his throat like this?
Yes, we investigated it
as a possible homicide due to his injury,
but no one was caught on the security cameras
around his house for a week.
Also, according to the autopsy report,
judging by the angle of the wound,
it could have been made by himself.
So we have concluded that it was a suicide.
If you want, I can send you the autopsy report.
It's just like him to die like this.
Excuse me?
His death suits him.
No.
I don't need the autopsy report.
Okay. That confirms the identity of the body.
We'll proceed with the handover procedure.
Sign here, and it will be complete.
Then, the handover procedure
is now complete.
There are two types of mourning clothes.
This is the common set, and this is the modern hanbok.
You can pick between the two.
(VOICE FADES)
JIAN: Did my uncle always have that tattoo?
Miss! You can't smoke in here!
Oh...
I'm sorry.
Anyway, let me go over it again.
You need to pick a mourning suit.
-Here's the hairpin... -I'm the chief mourner.
What about the armband?
Oh, normally men wear the armbands.
Do you have any close male relatives?
No, there's no one.
Oh...
Well, the most important thing is the portrait of the deceased.
Do you have a picture of the deceased?
JEONGMIN: Jeong Jian?
It is you.
Do you remember me?
Bae Jeongmin.
Huh?
Are you okay?
Yeah, I remember you. Bae Jeongmin.
JEONGMIN: We can cut out the picture of your uncle's face
and stick it on like this.
Oh.
I major in computer engineering.
This is easy.
I see.
That's how I came to help your uncle.
After the military service, I came back home
and saw your uncle's notice looking for part-time help.
He was trying to revamp his agricultural hose sales website.
So I was working on it for a few days.
During that time...
your uncle passed away.
That's why
I was the last person to contact him.
And I'm the one the police called first.
I don't know what to say...
I don't know how to console you.
Your uncle was found in the bathroom, right?
Have you cleaned it up?
No, not yet.
Jian.
If it's too hard for you,
do you want me to clean it up?
Your uncle and I were pretty close.
I think it'll be okay for me to do it.
I would
really appreciate it.
Sure. I'll clean up the bathroom.
Don't worry, and take care of his funeral.
I'll go after I'm done.
Thanks, Jeongmin.
TAXI DRIVER: Jian.
I brought Jinman's childhood friends.
Make sure to remember all of this. You have to pay them back one day.
The gym at Yecheong Intersection.
The owner is the president of Yecheong High Alumni Association.
This is from Yecheon Middle School Alumni Association.
Also, this is from Lee Yonghan.
COMRADE LEE YONGHAN
I don't really know who this is.
FUNERAL ARRANGER: You have a guest!
-Miss, come here. -Okay.
I'll take care of things here.
Go and greet the guests.
Mmm.
COMRADE LEE YONGHAN
MAN 1: Are you okay?
MAN 2: I'm fine, but...
MAN 3: Jeong.
So this is how you go.
I'll see you later in hell.
TAXI DRIVER: Do you need anything else?
We have pancakes. Do you want some?
So you were colleagues of Jinman, right?
All right.
Wow.
What a bunch of rude jerks.
They should respond when someone talks to them.
Aren't those twins from the neighborhood?
Come on. I know everyone in this neighborhood.
They're all outsiders.
Jinman!
What's with him? Did Jinman owe him money or something?
Or did he date Jinman?
He's been crying like that for two days.
That's what I'm saying.
By the way,
why did Jinman commit suicide?
You know, he was selling those hoses on the Internet.
I think it wasn't going well.
He had a lot of debt.
Money's always the problem.
If that was the case, why didn't you help him?
You run seven greenhouses!
Why should I?
I've never liked Jinman.
That's because you got your ass handed to you by Jinman
when he caught you robbing younger kids.
-No, I didn't! -Yes, you did.
Jinman knocked out three of your teeth! I saw it!
(LAUGHING)
Jinman was so popular back then.
Hey! Did you hear?
Before Jinman came back home,
he was the leader of Mokpo's Wasp Gang.
What the hell are you talking about?
Jinman was not a gangster.
It's true! The Wasp Gang!
You don't know anything at all!
This is a real secret that only few people know.
There's a rumor...
that Jinman was an anti-North spy for the NIS.
What a load of crock.
What you just said is absolutely ridiculous.
He got terrible grades at school!
He pretty much got straight F's!
F, F, F, F, F!
How could he have joined the NIS with his grades?
Special employment, man!
-The Wasp Gang! -I'm right!
TAXI DRIVER: You bastards!
You scared me. What the hell?
-What? -What the hell?
You little punks!
You shouldn't speak like that!
Don't you remember who Jinman was to us?
Do you remember when our dads lost all their money
to the gambling house in the neighborhood over?
Why would you bring that up now?
Your dad lost tens of millions of won.
My dad lost the deed to the house.
He came home and lit briquettes.
My brother and I almost died!
Back then,
I inhaled the smoke and almost died!
Back then!
Jinman?
It was definitely him.
It was Jinman that left the money?
Jinman was the one that saved you all.
(CRYING)
Jinman, you bastard.
JIAN: I lived with him for ten years.
But I know nothing about him.
We'll leave after you're done smoking.
JEONGMIN: Jian.
I'll go to the cemetery with you.
She didn't cry once at the funeral.
Maybe she wasn't that attached to him.
Maybe they weren't close.
Oh, stop it. She can hear you.
They're unbelievable.
People all mourn in different ways.
Great job, Jian.
I cleaned up the bathroom for you.
Okay.
Thanks, Jeongmin.
It's nothing. I'm glad I could be of help.
We were close as kids.
I'm relieved
you're coping better than I thought.
Does it look like
I'm holding it together to you?
Well...
Are you not?
I'm disgusted with my uncle.
The way he died.
Sorry. I shouldn't say that.
Thanks a lot.
Once I pull myself together,
I'll call you. Let's grab a bite to eat.
Sure.
Make sure to call, Jian.
Bye.
JINMAN: I already ate.
Make yourself something to eat.
What was so hard for you?
You pretended to be so strong.
What am I supposed to do all alone now?
Jian, I forgot to give you...
this...
Should I come back later?
Jeongmin.
Yes?
I'm not doing okay right now.
Can you stay with me for a little while?
JIAN: Thanks again, Jeongmin.
No, don't mention it.
I don't have anything to do at home anyway.
I can stay longer.
Okay.
Right.
You found this in the bathroom?
Yes, I think it was your uncle's.
No, it's not.
We both got the latest models when I started college.
Can this even make calls?
Or maybe your uncle used it for work?
What, like a burner phone?
I DEPOSITED 70 MILLION WON! WHEN CAN I RECEIVE THE ITEM?
JIAN: Seventy million won?
How many hoses did they buy to deposit that much?
(CELL PHONE BEEPS)
BALANCE: 18,753,000,000 WON
Jeongmin.
How much is this?
Eighteen...
18.7 billion won?
Do you think you can earn this much from selling hoses?
No.
The website that you revamped for my uncle.
Can you show me?
70 million won's worth of these hoses?
It's a little over 11 kilometers.
As you said,
it doesn't make sense to order that much money's worth of hoses.
Right.
But...
if this website was used as a front for a different website...
WE CAN'T FIND THE PAGE
This...
YOU HAVE LOGGED IN AUTOMATICALLY
-It's the dark web. -What?
An illegal website.
The agricultural goods website is probably a front.
Like a passageway to this website.
Then, what kind of website is this?
There are prices to the weapons here.
It looks like a website that sells weapons.
Weapons?
He sold things like this?
My uncle?
Yes.
I PAID. WHEN WILL YOU SHIP IT?
I AM SORRY. THE SHOP WILL BE CLOSED...
I'LL RETURN YOUR MONEY IF YOU PROVIDE YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER
THEN... IS JEONG JINMAN DEAD?
THEN... YOU'LL DIE TODAY TOO, JIAN
What a crazy bastard!
Jian, don't let this bother you.
This person is crazy.
Still, just to be safe,
shall we call the police?
(DOORBELL RINGING)
Jinman, it's Minhye.
My uncle isn't home today.
Please come back next time.
"Uncle"? You must be his niece.
Wow, I heard a lot about you.
I'm So Minhye, Jinman's private Chinese tutor.
Anyway, did Jinman go somewhere?
We have a lesson today.
I called, but I can't get through to him.
As you know,
he's not the type to change plans without calling ahead.
My uncle was learning Chinese?
DON'T LET ANYONE ELSE KILL YOU
I'LL COME AND KILL YOU MYSELF, JIAN.
Your front door was open, so I came in.
If it's all right with you,
can I wait for him inside?

You come and sit too.
YOUNGSOON: Yes, come and sit.
JINCHEON: Is it good?
Does it taste good?
It must be really good.
You shoved all of that down your throat.
You sure know how to stuff your face.
-YOUNGSOON: Stop that. -It's good.
You know how good our food is. Why haven't you come by more often?
Wait a second. How long has it been?
Mom.
-Has it been five or six years? -Seven years and eight months.
JINCHEON: Almost eight years.
My God, little brother.
You haven't called or visited us for eight years?
Since I didn't hear from you once,
I figured you were on a boat somewhere and died at sea.
-You know? -EUNYOUNG: Goodness.
Stop that!
EUNYOUNG: Honey, that's enough.
Jinman, do you want more meat?
Yes, please.
What happened to your face?
-Did you get into a fight? -No, it's just a scratch.
You should be more careful.
My son.
-You need to get married. -Yeah, right!
Look at this bum, Mom!
Women would run away from him!
-Damn it. -EUNYOUNG: Stop it, honey.

I don't.
