[the debtor] Hey!
Hey! f*ck!
Don't leave me here!
[the witness] For f*ck's sake.
[the witness groans]
f*cking hell.
[the debtor] Oh, hey, hey! Hey! [groans]
Hey, you sicko! What are you doing?
-Just untie me. What are you--
-[liquid splashes]
You crazy b*stard. What are you doing?
[exclaims]
[chuckles]
Hey, you… you… you're in on it
with that Yanbian idiot, right?
-The Chinaman?
-What?
f*ck, man. Does it really matter now? Huh?
Fine, I'll give you the cash, okay?
I'll give you the money, all right? Okay?
The payout is under review
with an insurance agent.
I can get you sorted within a month.
No wait. I… I'll get you sorted out
in a week, yeah?
Yeah? Hey, think about it.
You need me alive to get the money. Right?
[screaming]
[gasps, whimpers]
I guess the rental car place
topped off the gas.
I was struggling a bit,
carrying that tank. Jeez.
Don't k*ll me. Please! Stop it.
-Come on, don't do this.
-Hey!
You need to start respecting me,
you little punk. Did you forget?
I graduated three years before you.
Guhoe High!
Sir, I'm so sorry.
-[chuckles]
-[the debtor] Please don't k*ll me.
You haven't changed one bit.
You're still a complete moron.
This situation we're in,
think about it, man. Look at this. Look.
With all this going on,
your days are done. [chuckles]
[laughs]
Don't k*ll me. Please don't k*ll me.
Don't do it. Don't do it. No!
Let me go! Please don't k*ll me!
-[laughs]
-[the debtor whimpering]
[the debtor] Somebody help! Help me!
There's a fire! In here! Fire!
Please help! Please, anyone!
-A fire!
-[the witness] Nice and toasty.
There's a fire! He's starting a fire.
Please! Please, I need help! Fire!
All right. That Yanbian ch*nk.
-[whimpers] Put out the fire, you psycho!
-Quit crying, you idiot. Jeez.
[whimpers]
You still there? Huh?
[ominous music playing]
Whoa, whoa, oh!
[the debtor whimpers] Come on,
I haven't done anything wrong.
That Korean-Chinese guy, he's the one
who screwed up the accident. Sir, please.
Enough, jeez.
You must be really desperate.
You're lying.
-[whimpering]
-[lighter clicks]
[crying] Don't do it. I'm begging you.
Let me go. I'm begging. Please.

Got something else to say?

I still have trouble sleeping at night.
You haunt me.
[scoffs]

You're one crazy b*tch, you know that?
Step on it.
[haunting music continues]
[music fades]
That patient, Park Jae-yeong.
Do you know him?
Has there been someone
you've hated as long as you can remember?
To the point you'd m*rder them?
What are you talking about?
In our lifetime,
we all meet someone like that.
They change you.
They change your moral center.
Park Jae-yeong.
You're saying he's that someone?
I didn't…
Forget it.
I guess I was wrong about it.
[Yoon exhales]
I've just been depressed, that's all.
And I guess we were talking about it, so…
But it's nothing,
so don't look at me like you're worried.
Do you promise it's okay?
Mm-hmm. All is well.
Shouldn't you start
preparing for your rounds?
You better get going.
You're right. I should get back inside.
It's chilly, so don't stay too long.
-Mm-hmm.
-Okay?

I… I saw that you just sent me
three million won.
That's all I could get right now.
[Cheol-mok] But why all of a sudden?
Uh, did something happen?
I need…
I need you to do something for me.
[Cheol-mok] Oh, I see.
You should've just told me.
If it's something simple,
then it's on the house. [chuckles]
Uh, anyway, uh, how can I help you?

INSURANCE MANAGER
[ringing continues]
[grunts]
[coughs, clears throat]
Yes, Park Jae-yeong speaking.
[insurance agent] Oh, hello, Mr. Park.
How have you been?
Hmm, well, my father had a good send-off.
And what about you?
You've been well, right?
[insurance agent] Me? Same old, you know.
-Anyway, I'm calling you with an update.
-Yes.
[insurance agent] Your father's accidental
death benefit has been paid out.
Ah.
Yeah, I see. God bless my father.
I appreciate you following up.
You've paid it out already?
I'm switching over to a new bank
and wanted to update the account info.
[insurance agent] Well, the thing is, um…
It's just, uh… Sorry.
The thing is,
there's been a bit of a problem, sir.
-What's wrong?
-[insurance agent] Oh, man. This is crazy.
How should I say this?
[chuckles awkwardly]
Mr. Park Dong-sik, he, uh…
About a week before
your father passed away, he made a change.
He switched the beneficiary on the policy
to someone else.
He left a last will and testament
without your knowledge,
so we didn't inform you
during our initial review.
You'll have to contact
the beneficiary who received the money
and, uh, talk to them to figure this out.
At this point, there's nothing we can do.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this.
Oh, sh**t, sorry! Oh no!
-I'm really sorry, sir.
-Hey! What the f*ck?
-f*ck my life.
-Oh, gosh, sh**t. I spilled a lot.
What do we do? Sorry.
-And it's coffee. Oh, man.
-It's fine.
I spilled a lot.
Coffee stains are the worst.
-I said it's fine.
-[Cheol-mok] I'm so sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-Get the f*ck off me, you idiot!
-It's… It's my fault. I'm sorry.
-[coughs]
[Cheol-mok] Excuse me, sir!
Here, I think you dropped this. Here.
[suspenseful music playing]

GUHOE CATHEDRAL
Where are these people? Where are they?
[exhales, coughs]
Where are you hiding, you b*stards?
You stole my insurance payout.
Where the f*ck are you hiding?
[coughs]
[wheezes]
Come out!
f*cking show yourself!
I'll smash everything in here.
You must be Mr. Park Dong-sik's son.
Oh, there you are.
You pocketed the money.
I assume you know why I came here. Huh?
Before he passed,
your father told me about you.
He said to expect you to come here
after he died.
It seems you two were the best of friends.
Your father was an exceptionally good man.
It's rare to find a man of his character.
The kind of man who screws his son over?
You're upset.
But you should respect his decision.
Respect his decision? Shut the f*ck up!
Stop with the bullshit,
and hand the cash over.
You're a complete stranger,
so it's morally wrong that you got
the payout for his son, right?
[coughs] Don't you agree?
I can't give it to you.
What?
Your father had instructions.
The money is to go to the cathedral
and the patients
at our convalescent hospital.
He arrived at this decision on his own.
[exhales]
You're wasting my time.
Just look at me.
I'm the convalescent patient. Hmm?
Quit screwing around.
It's serious.
Hand over the money,
or it'll get ugly, all right?
The money was for his son!
[Dong-sik] I'm sure my son
won't accept my decision.
He'll show up and cause a scene, but
I have faith that, one day,
he will repent for all of his sins.
I pledge that I am coherent
and mentally sound
as I am recording this.
Oh, f*ck me.
These f*cking rich people are unreal.
[exhales]
[sighs]
Doctor? Why are you here?
Why the hell are you here?! [coughs]
Are you stalking me?
Huh?
Wow, you're totally crazy, aren't you?
All right, fine.
Tell me already.
Go on, tell me what I did.
Tell me.
Come on. Out with it.
I'm actually curious, really. [scoffs]
[tense music playing]
If you don't have the guts to tell me,
then just let it go. Life goes on.
Look the other way when you see me.

Hey there, terrifying lady.
[laughs] Okay, fine.
I like how relentless you are.
Listen, I'll tell you
the truth, all right?
This is a first for me, okay?
The truth.
[haunting music playing]
The truth is,
Park Jae-yeong's already dead.
I'm not Park Jae-yeong.
What don't you get?
Think now. Why would I lie to you
about that, huh?
I… I have no idea who the hell you are.
I saw you arguing at the church.
About your father's money.
You're Park Dong-sik's son.
Proof you're Park Jae-yeong.
I didn't… [groans]
That was…
I f*cked things up so bad this time.
[the witness sighs]
The reason, um…
Um, there's a reason, but…
but you don't need to know. f*ck.
Huh? Let's just forget about it.
Ah, f*ck me.
-You haven't changed one bit.
-[the witness exhales]
Not one.
-It's the same now as back then.

You b*tch!
I'm not Park Jae-yeong. Okay?
I'm not him.
sh*t, man. I said I wasn't him already.

I'm not him.
Park Jae-yeong's already…

Stay back!
-Just stay back.
-What are you doing, Ju-yeon?
This has nothing to do with you.
-You need to go.
-Don't do something you'll regret.
This will cost you everything.
[the witness groans] Doctor.
sh*t, I don't know anything, I swear.
I don't care anymore.
I know what happened.
I know everything, all right.
What do you mean?
I asked a friend to look into him.
Park Jae-yeong's file was on record.
I had to know why you said those things.
And why you were acting so strange
the other day.
I'm sorry.
Let me finish this, please.
-You understand why I have to do it.
-[Yoon] I do.
There's nothing I want more
than to t*rture and k*ll him myself.
But think of all you've gone through
to get where you are.
[groans softly]
Don't ruin your life
over someone like him, please.
[the witness] Hear me out…
We should go, Ju-yeon. Huh?

Yeah.
That sick family member.
You should be there.
I'll go tomorrow.
We should stay together.
You probably should go
and treat them right away.
It's family.
Don't worry.
I'll be okay. Really.
You should go help your family tonight.

She's a nerd, so I'm not surprised.
She's really f*cking pretty. [chuckles]
You wanna bone her or something?
Easy. I graduated already.
Come on, I can't.
I got out of juvie a little bit ago.
I can't risk it.
Ugh, this f*cking blows.

There's probably a few horny jerks

Let 'em have her.
This one's serious. They're too young.

Park Jae-yeong is always there.
I stab him.

Over and over again…
in the neck.
I've k*lled him thousands of times
in my dreams.
But not once did it make me happy.
Not even once.
It would've been the same
if I did it tonight.
Showing up when I did…
I don't know if it was the right thing.
It was my choice not to do it.
[Ju-yeon chuckles]
So don't beat yourself up
about it. [sniffs]
And I won't either.
All right. Don't worry,

I hear it's your last day.
Is it true what they tell me?
-It is.
-Why?
-Didn't we treat you well?
-[Yoon] It's not that.
It seems like now's the right time.
I understand. Well, this type of work,
it's not exactly rewarding.
I paid off my student debt with this job.
And saved enough to get married too.
You earned it by working hard.
If you ever think of coming back,
give me a call. We're friends, yeah?
I will.
[loan shark] For you, doctor.
A farewell gift.
Thank you, sir.
You earned it.
Ah.
Harvest everything we can use
when you're operating

We're taking him out,

Doctor. What are you doing here? Why?
Doctor, why?
[breathes heavily] Don't k*ll me.
You were very clear

[the witness laughs]
Oh, that was…
I'll tell you, okay.
I was dealing with a situation.
Doctor, please let me explain--
There's no truth in a lowlife like you.
You just say

I don't… Doctor, believe me.

Nice one, doctor. [chuckles]
It always gets stuck in there.
You can even
fix a vending machine. [chuckles]
So, what brings you here?
Oh, yeah. I wanted to drum up work.
Anyone in the hospital could be a client.
I'm here to offer my service. [chuckles]
Hmm, could I buy you a soda?
Or do doctors not drink this junk?
You're here for me, aren't you?
[exhales] Your case has an update
and I was hoping to tell you.
If it's uncomfortable to talk here,
we can talk in private?
I think that might be better.
No, thank you.
You don't need to do that, all right?
Uh…
I don't wanna hear about it anymore.
All right, very well.
If you're happy with our work,
then we're also happy.
-Thank you for everything.
-[Cheol-mok] I should thank you.
Take care.
