Quiet Family, The (1998)

[bunniefuu]

It's been 13 days since we
moved here from the city

And still,
nothing has happened

Musty Inn

Misty Inn

My father bought this lodge
at a bargain from

the village headman, Mr. Park

Even when he knew nothing
about the lodging business

At first, everyone worked
hard with high hopes

Well, not exactly everyone

But day by day our hopes
turned into shattered dreams

Wait a minute!

Where the hell is Chang-ku?

Uncle went to town
early this morning

Young-min,
take your hands out

He's never around
when I need him

Okay, here they come!

- Wow, so many...
- Quiet

Stupid b*stards!

Hope it rains on them
or something!

I'll get it!

Hello, this is the lodge

What? A lodge?

Yes, this is Misty Lodge

So, it's not the Dragon Palace?

What number did you call?

I called a Chinese restaurant

Chinese restaurant?

No, it's a mountain lodge

Maybe you have Chinese food?

Look, mister!

We got nothing
that's remotely Chinese!

- Sorry
- Hang up!

The nerve of that lunatic

Who does he think we are?

Unless his father hangs himself
to death with Chinese noodles,

he'll never learn

This burns me up

At least, Mr. Park's news of
a road pavement near the lodge

gave my folks some hope

But the road construction's delay
discouraged them again

And that was when everyone
became more and more

visibly hysterical

Die!

Die!

You die!

Quiet

Uncle, cut it out!

I hid that
blood-dripping head here

Now, why is it up there,
damn it?

Damn you!

What are you doing up there?

Your place is here, not there!

Get back to your place!

Get the hell away from there!

Something evil has gotten to you!

Kaaack tweiya!

Better watch out or else
something awful will happen

Kaaack tweiya!

Damn you,
get the hell out of here!

Get the hell out of here now!

Damn you!

Kwaaack tweit!

That's not it

Can't you do it right?

She never went 'Kwack tweit'

It was Kaack tweiya!

Kyaack twei?

No, no, do it again

Who do you take after?

Are you that stupid?

Uncle!

Shut up!

What the hell
is this at the table?

Mina!

Stop it!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom, the hikers are here!

Come out!

Come on,
let's rest here and then climb

Please, Young-jin?

Why bother when we can get
down before dusk, huh?

We need energy to climb up
that steep mountain

Need energy?
That's a nice way to put it

We'll probably stay up all night

Well, you do what you want

Darling, just for a little while

Maybe I can convince her

No thanks,
it's our business

Young-jin!

You won't get laid in
a million years like that!

I'm all by myself

In this lonely lodge

Where the leaves

Keep on falling one by one...

Of all the songs,
she had to sing that one!

That's the way our kids are

She sure is breaking
my heart with that song

At least
she's good at something

It's so melancholy!

- Someone's coming
- Who is?

- Misoo!
- Stop it!

Doesn't seem like a hiker

Maybe he's from town

What do you want?

Is this a lodge?

Yes

Can I have a room?

Yes!

- What's the room number?
- 203

I want three bottles
of cold beer in my room

Yes, thank you

What a bummer!

He was our first customer
and he just went up

Then did you expect him
to play with you?

How much did you charge him?

80,000 won for the room
and 10,000 won for 3 beers

He gave Young-min 1,000 won
because he didn't need it

Even a beggar would tip
more than 1,000 won

By the way,
didn't he look a bit strange?

It doesn't matter
what he looked like

Well, I haven't seen any other
family look stranger than ours

Think Mina's face
is that of a 17 year-old?

What a lousy thing to say
about your own daughter

Uncle, didn't he
look a little weird?

I thought the man
was a dwarf

That's not what I meant

What then?

He probably thinks
we're the weirdos

No but I got this feeling

When I took the beer to
his room...

With side dishes?

Yes!

Put it there and leave

I got your change

You keep it,
I won't need it anymore

Hey kid, do you know
what loneliness is?

So what did you say?

I told him that I wasn't a kid

Then what?

He said okay
and told me to leave

Man, he really must think
we're all so weird

Anyway,
he had that look on his face

How can I put it?

He was like loneliness itself

Is he going to eat or what?

Mister, it's time to check out

- Young-min!
- Yeah!

Bring me the key

Draw the curtains

What is it?

Ouch, my back

Damn it

- What's with them?
- Don't know

Is it suicide?

Think someone came here
and m*rder him then?

That's not what I meant

Who'd think to stab himself
like that with a key?

Shouldn't we call the police?

Yes, let's call the police

Do you want
this place closed down?

What if it's not a suicide?

Look through his things

He may have left a will

There's nothing

Not a thing

That's strange

I'm sure he paid
from his wallet

It was full of money, too

Why stare at me?

Go and get some bags and
a shovel from the warehouse

To do what?

What do you mean 'what'?

We'll bury him in the woods

What?

But we've got nothing
to do with his death

Who's gonna think of suicide
looking at this corpse, huh?

No will and no wallet

Even if it was a suicide,

who'd want to stay here
after such a horrible death

I can't do it

You idiot!

Think I'm doing this
for myself?

Hurry up and bring the stuff!

- Be careful
- Then stop pushing, Uncle

Easy, easy

Hold on

I don't think it'll fit

We need to
dig a bigger hole

Hey, fold him in half

Young-min,
fold him from that side

I've got the upper body

You fold him from there

Are these the legs?

Okay, keep it still

Get out of the hole, idiot

Okay, that's good

Bury him

Mom!

We've got guests!

Do you need anything?

No, we've got
everything we need

And we won't need
a thing from now on

What a morbid joke from
such a nice young couple

Well, thank you

It's nice and quiet here

Just the place we wanted

Let's go in

Bye

Have a good night

Why is our fate so unlucky?

I'm sure the gods
will take pity on me

By the way, what's that
business about Young-min?

How should I know?

He's the one
who took him beer

So the police will question
the last person to see him

Then they'll know about
Young-min's convictions,

and about the missing wallet

The cops will be all over us,
so who'll run the lodge?

And by chance...

Well, we have no choice

Do the girls know?

Uncle,
he really did k*ll himself

I knew it the moment
I saw the poor b*stard

But his wallet being missing
is really weird

Isn't it, Uncle?

Uncle

Uncle

What's that noise?

I'll be damned!

What did we do
to deserve this?

What are you all staring at?

Hurry up and get the bags!

He's alive!

Shut him up!

Get him!

Who wants dumplings?

What's wrong with everyone?

I'll have some

Hello?

Yes

Hold on

It's for you

Who is it?

I don't know, take it

Who is this?

Oh, it's you Mr. Park

Pardon?

What did you say?

The road work
will be ahead of schedule?

In two or three days?

They'll be digging
and everything?

No, I'm delighted

I'm so happy I'm delirious

Sure

Thank you

See you then

Bye

The road work
may start tomorrow

Then shouldn't we move
those things elsewhere?

What things?

You're all so weird today

After discovering
a stranded submarine,

Marines and US-Korean Forces
conducted a joint-investigation

and announced that North
Korean spies have infiltrated

South Korean territory
for espionage

Out of my way!

- He looks like a creep
- Who?

The one you
had your eyes on

Cut the crap

It's good to have you back

Hyun-suk,
you've been here before?

Didn't I tell you that I was
here with my colleagues?

How are you, Ma'am?

- Do you have a room?
- Of course

Young-min!

Take the guests upstairs

Okay

It smells like chlorine

- How much?
- 30,000 won

What?

It's too much

It's just for an hour or two

And I've been here before

It's still 30,000 won

- Take it
- Enjoy your...

Okay, okay

Just go

I think it's worth the price

You look hot in that muffler

I'm fine

Aren't you hot?

No

You must be

Hyun-suk,
what are you doing?

- Take it off
- You said we won't do this

- Take it off first and talk
- The buttons will snap

- This is no resting
- This is how I rest

Close the curtains

Right, the curtains

Closing the curtains

Now they're closed

I don't want to

Stop it

- Let's hit the road
- Just one more bottle

- It's going to be dark soon
- Wait a sec...

Hold on, hold on

Hold on!

Hello?

Yes, your phone
is out of order

Please leave
the receiver down

Put the receiver down?

Just for 10 minutes
and it'll be fixed

Okay, put the receiver...

What is it?

Receiver! Just down!

Out of order?

What are you doing?

Just called a friend

You had a friend?

Put the damn thing
down right

You're leaving?

Yes

Can we catch the bus
if we leave now?

You're not going hiking?

We talked and time flew by

Right, we talked

Maybe too much

We'll go hiking next time

And that's a promise

Yeah, next time
let's talk little and go hiking

You should hurry now

Be sure to stop by again

Sure

Oh yeah

This must be the
previous customer's wallet

It was stuck in the bed

But it had no money

So maybe you can return
it to the owner

What's wrong?

Did it have money?

- No
- Well, then

Honey!

Honey!

A man can't even
sh*t in peace in this house

What is it?

What's with the knock?

- Look here
- What is it?

Take a good look
at the picture

It's him

Where did you get it?

The young couple found this
stuck in the bed corner

This is not good

Aren't those two guys
from the lodge?

- Wait a minute!
- Just stay there!

- You're right
- They're coming this way

What for?

They're holding something

- Oh, no!
- What is it?

Hurry! We're in trouble!

Did we do something wrong?

Yes, so hurry up!

Because we lied about
not sleeping together?

Is that why?

You talk too much!

Why are they running?

Maybe they know something

Come on, how can they?

Maybe it's these things
in our hands

But they still
shouldn't run away

Somethings fishy

Uncle, you follow them
and I'll take the short cut

This is really getting
out of control

What's he saying?

Why did you
run away like that?

Okay, we're sorry

Stop crying,
and tell us what happened

- What did he say?
- He's scared

Man, she's too noisy

Stop it!

Okay, okay, I'm sorry

What? What?

- What did she say?
- They only did it once

What does that mean?

Then why are you so scared?

Now what?

This prick
thinks we're muggers

I swear!

It's all that was in the wallet

What is it?

The young couple had it

I told you it was a suicide

Then we did all that
for nothing?

What do you want from me?

It's all spilled milk now!

Hiking is so refreshing!

Let's stop here
for some rest

Welcome back

Let's sit here

Would you like
something to drink?

Beer, please

- I know what you're up to
- Come on

I just want to make up
for old times

Is it Polo?

Or Safari maybe?

Strange

Why'd you make me
drink so much?

I bet you didn't drink at all

We're almost there

Just one more step

It's strange how I'm so drunk
and you're so sober

I still don't know

What love is

I want to know

Because I'm already 17

I don't know what love is

I'm already 17

Oh, it was you!

You sing so beautifully

- I thought you were asleep
- No, not yet

Isn't that song from the movie
"Home of the Stars? "

- Did you see it?
- No

How'd you know
such an old song?

Well, I like old songs

I see

Do you know the singer?

Not really

Her name is Yoon Si-nae

It can't be

Her voice is so different

Doesn't she have
a husky voice?

They say her voice used
to be really high-pitched

But it became husky
from too much practice

You seem to know a lot

But that's not the way
you sing the song

The lyrics were wrong, too

I see

Well, What are words anyway

It's how a person sings it
that really matters

Right

The night air is so fresh

- What's your name?
- Misoo

- Last name?
- Kang

What a pretty name!

Misoo, why don't we
take a little walk?

It would be nice to hear you
sing as we walk in the woods

Shall we?

Yes

But not too far

Why? Do I scare you?

No, I haven't eaten...

I mean, it's dinner time
and they'll be looking for me

I see

Well, shall we?

Sure

- Misoo isn't eating?
- I guess

Is she on that
good-for-nothing diet again?

Give me my food!

Here

My sister Mina is 17

Really?

I thought you were 17
when I heard you sing

You look much younger
than your sister

I do?

Then who are those men?

The mean-looking one
is my brother,

and the nice-looking man
is my uncle

Oh, I see

I bet your brother
is very protective

Not really

We don't tell
each other what to do

I see

- Do you have a boyfriend?
- Not too many

- Do you date a lot?
- Not too much

Well, kissing?

Not too...

Oh my!

What if you and I kissed?

Just for fun, huh?

Hey, is Misoo asleep?

I said is she asleep?

Don't yell when
you're that close

Hey, I didn't yell
from the start

What?

So is Misoo sleeping or not?

I saw her walk toward the
woods with that guy in 208

208? Why?

You could've told me sooner!

You just asked!

- I just asked?
- Yes!

Stop! Get away from me!

If you keep on pushing me,
I'll fall off the cliff

- Just once, okay?
- No

If you keep on disappointing me,
I can be really mean

Stay still

Okay, okay

Mom!

Stop it

Misoo!

Misoo!

Misoo!

Stop it

Young-min!

You as*h*le!

b*stard

Look at this b*stard

So you wanna
fight like a man?

Come on, you little prick!

You as*h*le

Okay, okay, that's enough

Get off of me

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean anything

Sure, just get off of me

No more fighting, okay?

Okay, so get off

You promised, right?

Just get the f*ck up, as*h*le!

Blood!

My neck

Don't touch it

Are you okay?

Damn it, it hurts

Okay, okay, I'm sorry

Sure you're okay, right?

Yes, just go

Okay, I'm sorry

as*h*le...

What? What?

I'm still alive

Are you okay?

Who left the front...

What a good for nothing

Honey!

Hey, pull yourself together!

- Who is Misoo's brother?
- Why?

He said that Misoo's brother
pushed him off the cliff

Oh, I can't understand
a darn thing he said

Hey!

Going somewhere?

I don't think I'm needed here

Oh no, we're in big trouble

We'll just move them

This mountain is a treasure

But it was a military zone,
so we couldn't develop it

Now the new government
has lifted all the regulations

And who will soon own all this?

Me, to be exact

But there's one problem
and it's my half-sister

Her name's Eun-joo

My old man is very fond of her

He'll get her the moon
if she asked

She's gonna take everything
from me, the legitimate son

Does this sound fair to you?

I've realized that many things
in life aren't exactly fair

So then?

So I've decided to invite
my father to this lodge

for rest and for
some business

No one is to know that he's
coming here with her, okay?

Not even you

Me neither?

You don't get it, do you?

I'll take care of that b*tch,

and you just pretend
to know nothing

I don't know anything, right?

Keep this a secret

I'll be in touch

When I call,
get your best room ready

I'm counting on you

sh*t!

Just give it to me

That's no way to dig

Like this, okay?

Like this

You must all be exhausted

Everyone sit

Just a little for me

I'm dead tired

Wow, are we having
chicken noodles?

Son, sit down

Digging is becoming
a job now

Now everyone's a pro

It took us several hours
to bury the first one

Even more

But today, Young-min only
took 30 minutes to dig a hole

It was like a custom-tailored
hole for the body

Man, you sure
knew how to dig!

Did I tell you about Chul-ki?

The guy I met in the army?

He was so good at digging

that if you gave him a shovel
he'd automatically dig his way

Whenever I see a shovel,
it reminds me of Chul-ki

I wonder what
he's doing now?

He must be
somewhere digging

Dad, anything else to bury?

Like a kimchi pot?

I might as well do it now

Hey, turn on the news

What happened
to those spies?

Are they caught?

Seven North Korean spies
were shot to death today

The first g*nsh*t
was heard at 10:15 near...

Oh my,
that's not far from here

What if they show up here?

Those b*stards
should be buried alive

Right?

Careful, careful

Sir, welcome
to our humble lodge

This unpaved road
made him even more tired

If it weren't for you,
he wouldn't be tired

Honey, help him in

This way, sir

It's quite chilly outside

Wow, she's hot

I'd say quite intellectual

I can't believe they both
come from the same seed

Because it was different soil!

Please come inside

It's more chilly here
in the mountains

This way, please

Watch the steps

Up this way, sir

Please be careful

A man is going to be here
exactly at midnight

Give him the room
next to my sister's

He'll take care of everything

Take care of what?

He'll do everything,
so you don't need to know

Don't worry

But what's there to know?

I trust you Mr. Park

Don't forget it's midnight

Yes, all I know is midnight

Going somewhere, Miss?

Yes, I want to take a look
at our family mountain

Mina will show me around

Then you'll be
back by twelve?

By twelve?

Sure, a couple of hours
is more than enough

Mina, let's go

- Twelve o'clock
- Yes, midnight

Hey

Where do you think
you're going?

- Hiking
- What for?

I live in a mountain lodge

Do I need
a reason for hiking?

What a moron!

Miss Eun-joo,
care for some candy?

No thanks

I should go back

So soon?

My father's waiting

May I help you?

There must be a dining
facility in the storage

Oh, I'm the Chief of the
police station in town

Is that so?

But...

Well, we've got some
missing person reports

Maybe you could help us

By any chance,
did you see people come...

What is the storage for?

We keep things there,
it's quite messy

All storages are messy

Well, did you see two men

One is from Seoul and
the other is a local resident

He's medium-height
with a jumper on

I don't think so

There aren't
that many hikers here

Are there guests
in the lodge now?

No hikers,
but we have two...

No, one house guest

I see

If you see two men
who fit the description,

don't hesitate to call us

Of course

Walking all the way up here
sure made me thirsty

Do you mind
getting me some water?

Sure, you stay here,
and I'll bring it right away

What a nice view!

I never went hiking
while living here

Oh, thank you

What?

The police chief?

Now what?

What else?

We move the guy
to a room upstairs

- And the bodies?
- Them, too

Move all of them again?

How many are there?

I'll meet you later, bye!

Bye, sweety!

Sir

- Where the hell were you?
- I went home for a second

Think you can do
whatever you like on duty?

Then why didn't
you answer at home?

Get me the
orchard on the phone

You got an
assignment tonight

After going on a hike,

Mr. Jang of the pear orchard
has been missing for days

I went up to the lodge today
and they acted strange

So spend the night there
and check things out

- But today...
- Your call, sir

What does he do?

Who?

The one that Mr. Park said
was coming at midnight

How should I know?

A hired k*ller, maybe

How greedy can a man be

to k*ll his own sister?

He probably wants to scare
her or lock her up someplace

He told me that she
was a lavish spender,

and that she hasn't married
and gets around

She is sexy though

Sexy or not, we give him the
next room when he comes

That's all we need to do
and he'll handle everything

Shouldn't we tell him
the room number?

No, that means we know

Mr. Park knew
what he was doing

when he asked
for the next room

What if he goes
into a wrong room?

It worries me

It sure won't be our room

Mina

Mina

Wake up

Can't you see
I'm watching TV?

- Go to sleep
- The anthem wasn't even on

Good-night, Dad

What is it?

Nothing...

You weren't asleep?

I'm going to bed now

- What are you doing?
- Huh?

Go on

Go to bed

How much?

You must be tired

How much?

It's okay

Just go upstairs

Please, it's not necessary

So you know

That's strange

Would you like
some cold beer?

No, I'm sort of on duty,
so I don't drink

A real professional

- Pardon?
- A pro

You talked as if you knew

Who's the one
who offered beer?

Shut up

Tell Young-min
to watch the counter

Go on

- It's 30,000 won
- What?

I said it's 30,000 won

Didn't you get the message?

What message?

Just give me the 30,000 won

I was to be here by midnight,
but I got lost

It's still gonna
cost you 30,000 won

- You sure it's the right room?
- Yes

Of course I'm sure, as*h*le

Who does he think he is
to be rude to me like that?

Don't f*ck with me, as*h*le

Did anyone come?

Yeah, a man

- What did he look like?
- Real dirty

Your folks have gone way
out of line this time

Did you see my lighter,
the one with the dragon?

Every time something's
missing, you ask me

Miss Eunjoo,
this is Chang-ku

Don't speak and just listen

What do you think you're doing?

You scared me, you shithead!

You could've paid me
some respect earlier

b*stard's dead

Hey, you

Hey, you

Get the boys

Hurry!

Young-min!

You stay in your room

- Mom!
- Hurry!

What on earth happened here?

Where were you?

What about the old man
and his daughter?

Answer me, damn it!

I sent them to Seoul

b*stard!

You're dead meat!

Let's talk about it!

Know what you just did?

Why'd you k*ll that guy?

Dad, what's going on?

Let go!

Young-min!

Wake up!

Look at this blood!

He's this way

Here

- The name?
- Tae-go Kang

Tae-gu!Tae-gu!

That's my name

Who asked for your name?

I'm Soon-nae Jung

Is this a joke or what?

The patient's name!

- Young-min Kang
- Young-min

Young-min! Young-min!

Can you hear me?

- Who's coming with us?
- I will

- Me, too
- Me, also

Only one can get a ride

We'll take our van

Fine, let's go

You and I have work to do

- What is this?
- Yes?

It's not him

No

If this isn't him,
then who is he?

What's going on here?

I want the truth!

Do you want to burn
down the entire lodge?

Mom!

Mom!

Mina, what's wrong?

Uncle, push this up

Is it a blackout?

Another North Korean soy was
found dead in a mountain region

He was dressed in civilian clothes
wearing a t-shirt and jump suit

The police speculated that he
may have tried to contact...

That's that rude b*stard!

Why is he there?

They say he seems
to have fallen

What's up?

Didn't you hear that?

There you go again

No, it's true!

Okay, just sit

Uncle

Uncle

Let's eat
