01x01 - Bargain

[bunniefuu]

One moment!

Hello.

Hey there.

- Sorry, I'm a little late.
- Not at all.

Was it hard to find?
This place is pretty remote.

I couldn't find a bank
in this frigid weather,

I went far to find one and came back.

- That must've been tough.
- No, not at all.

- Please come in.
- Sure.

It's quite spacious here.

Yeah? Is this spacious?

It's my first time at a place like this.

I can't believe there are motels
this big out here.

It's much better than Seoul.

Damn! What a great view too.

You know what?

Honestly...

you're really my type.

You look just like your picture.

Of course,
this is all about trust.

Frankly, I didn't expect much,

you know how things are nowadays.

Your picture doesn't do you justice.

Thank you.

Please sit.
You can speak comfortably with me.

I will, eventually.
There's enough time.

Was your name Ju-yeon?

No, it's Ju-young. Park Ju-young.

Right, Ju-young.
You're still in high school?

Yes, a junior. I'm 18.

A junior in high school.

Didn't you read my bio?

I sent you the profile...

Oh... I must've missed it.

I was too distracted
by the word "virgin."

I was smoking earlier.
Mind if I finish?

No, go ahead.

Your eyes are so pure.

Sir, it wasn't an easy decision
for me to do this.

I won't back out though.

I know those eyes won't lie.

I'm sorry to bring this up
when I just came,

but it needs to be confirmed.

Uh...

You really are a virgin?

Yes, this will be my first time.

- Please don't take this the wrong way.
- Okay.

I'd like to see some blood.

- Blood?
- Yeah.

From where?

Not from me, that's for sure.

You don't know?
Didn't you learn that in sex ed?

- Sex ed?
- Yeah.

- Right.
- Oh.

You know, it's like a symbol.

I mean it's not that important,

but $1,000 isn't cheap.

You know, I may not bleed though...

Why not?

When I was in middle school,

I didn't do it
with my homeroom teacher,

but he harassed me by fingering me.

Ah...

So your teacher

used his finger?

He used his finger

- and humiliated you?
- Yes.

That was very traumatizing,
and had to get therapy,

and I had panic attacks too.

- I couldn't go out in public...
- Hey, don't cry.

What a crazy b*stard!

It must've been hard at that age.

Sure.

So that means I won't be your first.

No, this will be my first time,
I didn't do it with him.

In any case.

His finger went inside you first.

Not mine, but your teacher's.
So, I'm not the first.

So this isn't your first.

This is a bit tricky.

You smoke menthol?

We're at an impasse.

- Ju-young, right?
- Yes.

Ju-young.

The thing is...

I don't think I can pay you
$1,000 as promised.

Why not?

I think we should do it for $170,
which is the current going rate.

- One hundred seventy?
- Yeah.

Because my cherry's popped?

Cherry?

Because my hymen is broken?

Hymen? That cherry?

Do people still use that slang?

I thought it was from my generation.

- Are you really in high school?
- Yes.

Why?

I suddenly have the feeling
that you may not be.

What high school do you go to?

- Me?
- Yeah.

It's called Shinbuk High.

There's a roundabout near here,
it's by that.

- The roundabout heading up here?
- Yes.

sh*t.

f*cking hell.

Ju-young,

if you're gonna lie,
you should do your homework.

What are you doing making me
come to the boonies?

What do you mean?

What do I mean?

What does your uniform say?

It says "Chuncheon
Tourism High School."

What?

Does looking at it change it?

Will that logo change
to Shinbuk High?

I'm mad as hell right now.

Is this funny?

- Am I being funny?
- No, it's not that.

Then why are you
laughing your head off?

Can't I just laugh?

That story with your teacher
is bullshit, right?

It's the truth!

Bullshit. How long are you
gonna keep up with your lie?

- It really is the truth!
- Don't lie to me!

Jeez! Why are you yelling at me?

f*ck! I...

I came all the way to Gapyeong
in this damn weather,

lied about going to a funeral

in a borrowed suit,

so don't f*cking jerk me around!

Why are you swearing?

Why am I swearing?

I can't help my damn self, b*tch!

I can't f*cking help it!

You're f*cking weird.

And you're a f*cking psycho!

You're a nut job!

I'm a nut job?

She's insane. An absolute psycho.

I almost got f*cked today.

You almost f*cked me
in the a*s, right?

Make it $70, then.

- $70?
- Yeah.

Girls like you are dime a dozen
near where I live,

they'll do anything for 70 bucks.

Is your blood type AB?

Stop talking nonsense.
We got a deal or not?

Hello?

Hello?

sh*t.

I'm leaving then.

Bye.

f*ck. Just my dumb luck.

I'll do it.

For $70?

I'll do it for $70.

How about 50 bucks?

Fifty?
What is the matter with you?

sh*t, I'm kidding.

Damn it. Hey!

Don't change your mind.

- Seventy bucks. Got it?
- Okay.

You go wash up first.

You should wash up first.

- Gonna bolt while I'm in the shower?
- Nope.

I gotta make money.

All right, dammit.

Damn.

I'll be right back then.

You and your f*cking lies.

Seventy bucks. Don't change your mind.

You're lucky I'm a nice guy.

Others would've messed you up.

You know?

What the f*ck are you laughing at?

- Are my undies funny?
- What the hell?

Isn't it sexy? So frigging hot!

You love it.

Ju-young.

First things first.

Here's $30 upfront,
and rest afterwards, okay?

How about this?

If you're amazing,

you'll get some nice tip,

so let's do it right.

Just for you,

I'll scrub all over.

Good, laugh. So upbeat!

f*cking moron.

So full of sh*t.

Oh, this is nice.

Yes!

Hello?

Yes, that's right.

One moment, hold on.

Yes.

Hello?

Hi there.

I'm at the library right now.

Yes. I read your e-mail.

Yes, I'm a virgin.

That's why I requested a profile.

Since it'll be my first time,
I need to like you, too.

Yes, you looked cute.

I really like your smiling selfie.

You looked mischievous
with your crooked teeth.

I bet you're a charmer.

One thousand dollars. That's right.

As for that,

you'll have to come
and check it out for yourself.

Even if I like you,
I can't cut the rate,

because other gents
are competing for that price too.

Yes.

Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do.

Where are you coming from?

Oh...

Is that right?

But I can't travel far,

so you'll have to come here.

It'd be great
if you could come tonight.

This was a big decision for me,

and my mind could change later.

Yes.

I know.

At 8:30?

That should be fine with me.

Yes, call me when you leave.

Okay, I understand.

Okay!

Hey!

Is it good?

Hi.

Raise the price, will you?

f*ck are haggling over 20 bucks.

Go b*tch and whine at your mom.

Do your damn work, b*tch. Piss off.

Your work ain't done yet.
Why are you back?

Another one at 8:30.

How could you book another
without consulting me?

Because I can handle it.

You wanted more customers.

His number is 4182-3957.

What if that time slot
isn't available?

Got something else?

Of course you don't.

Bookings are hard to come by.

I'll do it in the room I was in.

What was that for?

Do you want a beating?

Go on then. I'll cancel it.

Do it in Room 501.

- f*ck.
- Hey.

Two gigs today?

Damn...

- Yeah.
- Holy sh*t.

Jealous?

You're trying so hard, aren't you?

To win favors with the boss?

Hey.

Stop talking nonsense.

If you're not winning at work,
at least win at love.

I saw your boy toy sneaking out
of Hye-joo's room this morning.

Bullshit.

I'm serious.

I'm off.

See you.

Damn.

Bang!

How much?

Take your number
and go over there.

- A real catch today?
- How much is that?

Take it slow, easy.

- So, how much?
- Thirty thousand.

Thirty thousand. Take your
number, and exchange them for chips.

What denominations?

Two $10,000 and the rest in $1,000.

When you swap back,
you get 65% back.

Everyone's here?

Where were you?

Do I have to report
my whereabouts to you?

I thought I had
to track you down again.

I'm here.

We'll begin now.

Yes.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We'll start today's auction
with kidneys, then pancreas,

liver, gallbladder, heart, ligament,

eyes, teeth, skin
and blood in that order.

To make a bid, raise your number
and state your offer.

Please pay with the chips
you exchanged at the door.

We've got an ordinary citizen
in a long while.

Nice, that's awesome!

I'm looking forward to this one, too.

What's the blood type?

Blood type? Hold on.

What's his blood type?

AB.

I knew you were an AB.

f*ck.

Bring him out.

His blood type is AB!

Coming through.

We'll start the auction.
Please make way. Make way.

- This way.
- What is going on?

- Easy, easy.
- Please don't touch him.

He's flailing. Hold him down.

Please take a step back.

Take a step back please!

Please stand by for a moment.

When are we bidding
for the liver?

Okay, raise him up.

- So much vitality!
- Shouldn't we buy this?

We'll give you a moment
to check out the merchandise.

Please do not touch him.

- With your eyes only!
- Not bad.

- Make way.
- Hey.

Come on, mister.

I'm here for the eyes,
I gotta check them out.

All right, all right,
stand back. Take a step back.

- I gotta see the merchandise!
- Please step back.

- Come to the center.
- Damn it.

Don't cross this line.

They covered his eyes.

We'll now start the auction.

Let's begin with the kidneys.

As you know there are two.

From my experience,
it's best to win the first one.

Because starting bid for the second one
is the winning bid of the first.

It'd be maddening to take
the same kidney at a higher price.

Kidney A's starting bid is 50,000.

- 55,000.
- We got 55,000.

- 60,000.
- 60,000.

- 72,000.
- 72,000.

- 80,000.
- 80,000.

83,000.

85,000.

90,000!

We got 90,000.

- 93,000.
- 93,000.

94,000!

94,500!

It's up to 94,500.

I think we're rapidly approaching
the end.

94,500.

Any other bids?

No.

Then we'll start the countdown.

One...

Two, three, four!

- 97...
- 100,000!

- Did someone say 100,000?
- Please.

Please don't raise it any higher.

My father is really sick...

He's on his deathbed.

Don't be like that.

Brother, everyone here
has a sob story.

- He's so right!
- Right?

This is my entire life savings.
I don't even have a home now.

Please, I'm begging you!

Let him have it!

Your father raised a good son.

- He's a good son.
- What a load of sh*t.

- Let's give it to him!
- I'll count down.

One, two, three!

Wait, is this a charity?
Are you all full of goodwill?

Give him what?

110,000! f*ck that.

- Ma'am!
- We got $110,000,

Number 5, will you continue?

110,000.

One.

Two.

Three.

- Four.
- 120,000!

- Is he nuts?
- You should yield.

$120,000 for kidney A.

- You could buy a Mercedes-Benz with that.
- Number 13, will you continue?

- Are kidney auctions this long?
- Sometimes.

One...

Two, three,

four, five.

The good son takes kidney A
for $120,000.

He's a liar.

He said it was all he had!

Number five, make your payment
in the back please.

Head over there,
pay attention please.

We'll now auction off kidney B.

As I've told you,
the starting bid for kidney B

is the winning bid for A,
which is $120,000.

- Understood?
- Yes!

We'll open the bid at $120,000.

If I don't go,
my father's in trouble.

- Next...
- He'll be in real trouble.

He only has 100,000.
Yeah, I remember.

This guy's short!

He has no money. He's short!

Listen.

You know you can't be short.

- Hey, hey!
- You gotta bring the money.

What's up?

You should've quietly offered him a loan.
Why cause such a ruckus?

Say what?

Go get the forms.

- f*ck.
- Damn.

- Get the paperwork.
- Are you out of your mind?

It's okay. Let's go.

My apologies!

There aren't any moles,

and no one's
deliberately jacking up the price.

We see desperate bidders
losing their judgment

from time to time.

We'll void the $120,000 bid.

Let me apologize for my staff's
mishandling of the situation.

- My apologies.
- I'm sorry.

Let's move on.

In this case,
bidder 13 had the last bid

at $110,000 for kidney A.

How about I give you a discount.
$105,000?

- You should buy one of those.
- Everyone okay with that?

Yes!

Are you kidding?

I want it for $100,000!

That lowers the winning bid
by quite a bit. You all okay with it?

Yes!

That's better for us.

- Right.
- Let's hurry this up.

Then kidney A has been sold
to bidder 13 for $100,000.

But I bid $100,000 earlier!

Sir! Sir!

- Don't use violence!
- Come on.

- Stop! Stop!
- Step back please.

- How dare you touch me!
- Hold still!

My apologies.

This calls for immediate removal,
you know that?

Remain calm.

You let your desperation
get ahead of yourself.

If you'd like, we may just
be able to help you.

- Did you get the papers?
- Please.

- Do you need help?
- Yes.

It's a loan.

Are you okay with that?

Allow me to explain.

Get me a marker.

What did he say?

- Is it always like this?
- Here's the deal with our loans!

We can loan you any amount.

But 35% will be deducted
as interest in advance.

No annual or monthly interests
and we won't collect illegally.

However, you must pay back

what you are owed within a week.

If you can't do that, then listen up.

This is important.

Organ collateral.

- Collateral.
- Organ collateral.

Organ collateral.

It's a loan with your organs
as collateral.

Details are in the contract.

Who's interested?

Me! I'll take one!

- Take a look at this form.
- Take the contract.

Look at the contract,
write your name, and sign it.

The table shows the amount
that will be deducted per organ.

So please check the prices
you'll put down as collateral.

Check what you want
to put down, and sign.

Will you take the entire liver?

No, just $10,000 worth.

Please check quickly
and fill out the details later.

Let's get a move on!

- I'll give you 30 more seconds!
- Just sign here.

- Wrap it up, please!
- Wrap it up.

The price difference is too big.

We'll wrap it up then.

From here on,
a loan will not be offered.

No more offers
until the end of the auction.

From what I've seen in the past,

some were smart enough

to make personal trades
with others here.

The chips you purchased earlier
can be refunded minus a 35% fee,

but you can use them
for the next auction.

However, the next auction date
is unknown, understood?

- Yes!
- Excuse me.

How old is the merchandise?

How old is he?

His age?

Forty-five?

He looks about 41 to me.

He looks like
he's in his mid-40s.

Let me confirm that for you.

- We'll confirm it.
- Age is so important.

He's well-maintained,
but definitely in his mid-40s.

- Does he smoke?
- It's not new.

If you touch him,
that's sexual harassment.

How old are you?

- What's going on?
- Was that an earthquake?

- Excuse me?
- Is it an earthquake?

- What's going on?
- What?

- That scared me.
- Shouldn't we get out?

I don't know.

I'm so scared.

We need
to send these people out!

This building is really old,
we could all die here.

Let's go, out.

- Hey, where are you going?
- Where are they going?

Out of the way!

Hey, stop, stop!

What?

Attention please.

Hello, I'm in charge around here.

That shock was from
a tunnel construction nearby,

so, there's no need for concern.

There's no tunnel here.

It was an earthquake. It's dangerous.

Yeah, it was an earthquake.

Just do what you're told.

That's the boss's order.

No one leaves until this is done.

Even so!

Do you want to reimburse them all?

Earthquake's no big deal.

- Does anyone speak Chinese?
- The doctors will get the job done

no matter what happens,
so please don't worry.

- A round of applause!
- Can we restart now?

Stop fighting
and get on with the auction.

- No, wait...
- They need to operate.

- We'll wrap it up thoroughly.
- We're so busy. Let's hurry it up!

Let's get a move on.

What are you gonna do about this?

- We're so f*cked...
- I'm not responsible for this.

- Boss...
- Hee-sook.

It's nothing, sir.

I'll take responsibility,
so keep going.

How will you take responsibility?

Do as I say, if you don't want
to get your hair shaved off again.

Let's say he's a real police officer.

Should we apologize and let him go?

- Of course not.
- But what if the boss finds out?

Is the auction happening?

You just need
to keep your mouth shut.

I'm getting tired.

- Let's start!
- What's going on?

Continue the auction right away.

- We'll begin.
- Sorry about that.

We'll continue the auction.

Let's start the bidding at $100,000,
the winning bid for kidney A.

The mood here is a bit tense.
Shall we lighten it up?

Okay, okay.

- Thank you.
- Go, go!

The starting bid is 100,000.

- 132,500!
- We got 132,500.

- Anyone else?
- That's it.

- He's got it.
- If there are no more bids,

let's count it down.

- One!
- Two!

Three!

Four!

Five!

- The good son wins the auction.
- Father!
