200 YEARS AGO, JOSEON

[dramatic music playing]

[panting]

[grunts]

[gasps]

You b*stards!

You're those purple monsters, aren't you?

Just because I ran off, unlike a nobleman,

do I look like someone to you

who would die at the hands of you animals?

Huh? My father is the great

Jeong In-seon of Songdo,

the greatest scholar of Joseon,

until they cut off his head!

And I exchanged poems

with the king at the age of five.

Gyeongbok Palace was my only playground.

I would pee freely

in the Palace pond as a child.

I am Jeong Hyo-bong.

- [door closes]

- [footsteps]

Oh, I nearly missed clock-out.

What a productive day.

All right, time to go home!

Jesus f*cking Christ!

Excuse me, then.

You should've said that

before I turned around. Who are you?

Well, it's pretty clear that we're

humans.

- [intriguing music plays]

- Huh?

Uh, I mean

four people.

Huh. Well, I can see that.

But I'm still a little confused.

What is this?

I'm so sorry.

We'll just look around a bit. Yeah?

[chuckles]

What? But Hey, wait a minute.

Who are you? Hey!

We're sorry.

It's just that we lack social skills.

What the f*ck do I care if you don't have

any social skills? Who are you, huh?

- What do you want?

- [laughs] You're right!

People usually

say those things first, right?

Well, we sell chicken nuggets.

[laughs]

Oh, sh*t, are you kidding me?

What the actual f*ck?

- Huh?

- [chef 1] We're not here to sell nuggets.

There's a machine we're looking for.

Are you the boss of this business?

Uh, no, he's on a business trip.

What machine are you looking for?

Well

That's kind of a sensitive matter,

you know?

Man, this is insane.

Just tell me! I need to go.

Look, don't get me wrong.

I ask because I like the design, okay?

This pretty machine.

It was here. What the hell is it?

[eerie music plays]

- Where is the machine now?

- So what on earth does it do, exactly?

How would I know?

I just think it's pretty.

- It's just a cabinet. Pretty, my a*s.

- I do find it pretty! So, where is it now?

- Why don't you ask the guy who stole it?

- Stole it?

It was stolen.

But why would anyone steal it

when they don't know how to use it?

[colleague] You really think

thieves need owner's manuals?

Did did you report it?

Wait a minute. Why do I have

to answer all these questions?

We don't even sell machines here anyway!

You're making me work overtime.

You gonna pay me for that?

CALL THE POLICE IF WE'RE NOT BACK

MOUNT 21, CHANGCHEONG-RI

When did your boss go on a business trip?

I don't know. I got a text this morning

- f*ck, I'm answering again, sh*t!

- Let's go guys. Let's go.

We enjoyed it here.

You enjoyed it here? You enjoyed it here?

[chuckles] Ah

I'm sorry.

Thanks. We had a good time.

[chuckles]

- Uh That's not what I meant! Gah!

- [door slams]

There's more to it than just theft.

- Wait a minute.

- [door opens]

- So you're saying that if we

- Sh!

- Sh!

- [door slams]

[colleague] Hey, guys?

[chef 1] It's definitely been stolen.

There's no way he went

on an actual business trip

if his daughter has turned

into a chicken nugget.

He definitely went to get it back.

He also mentioned that

the place he went to might be dangerous.

Come on, hey

[man] Another thing is there are at least

two groups who know about our machine.

[chef 1] The owner of More than Machines

is desperate but innocent.

It's more important

to know the intentions of the others.

[chef 2] If they know what it can do,

they'll surely have ill intentions.

[chef 1] That's the problem.

Humans are still lacking in kindness.

[woman] And we've been imitating

them for all this time.

[chef 2] Should we wait

until it's been two days?

[man] That's not how to show kindness.

It's our fault humans ended up

using that machine, so we need to find it.

We should stop them

before they make another huge mistake.

[chef 1] Kwangdae is right.

Let's go to the address first.

We need to find the machine.

- But, you know

- What?

Even if we find it,

will those selfish humans give it back?

If they don't, what do we do?

k*ll them all?

[spaghetti Western style music plays]

[groaning]

[yelps] Aah!

[panting]

[wings fluttering]

Oh.

Hmm.

[stifling sobs]

[door opens]

[footsteps]

[door closes]

[Baek-joong] Did you tell it to attack me?

[Tae-man] No.

- It's been programmed to be that way.

- When does it sh**t?

When it feels the need to protect.

It can make its own decisions.

[rustling]

- Okay, I have bulgogi and stir-fried pork.

- [both] Oh, I'll have pork.

[both] I'll have the bulgogi.

- I'll get bulgogi

- Oh, bulgogi

- Mr. Choi, have pork

- Oh, pork

- I'm happy with bulgogi.

- Bulg

- No, it's okay.

- No, I'll uh

[Tae-man] Share.

Share.

[Tae-man chuckles]

[Choi] You're smiling.

You smile a lot, don't you?

You believe

the younger generation can't smile?

What have we got to smile about?

How eloquent.

Tell us a story, then.

How about that fairy tale?

The family one of yours, yeah?

[Tae-man] It's not a fairy tale.

There is magic in it,

but we don't understand the magic yet.

A folktale then, whatever.

[Tae-man] You might think so.

But this story is true.

[dramatic music plays]

[man] In the year 1801,

the first year of King Sunjo's reign,

Queen Jeongsun, who served as regent,

ordered a strict prohibition

of Catholicism.

"Catholics are beasts who follow heretic

beliefs and corrupt human morality,

so enlighten them and convert them."

"And if they don't repent,

they shall be punished as traitors."

That night, outside the Seosomun Gate,

knelt Jeong In-seon,

who had King Jeongjo's favor

and held important posts.

He was a scholar and a devout Catholic

who dreamed of giving

practical help to the people,

and thus, stepped down from his office

and dedicated himself to the Lord

for the benefit of his fellow man.

Even in the face of death,

his resolution didn't waver.

With a swing of the sword,

his throat was slit,

and his family was dispersed

to distant regions.

Women in the family were sent

to the countryside as government sl*ves,

and the men,

barely able to preserve their own lives,

were demoted from noblemen to commoners.

Among those men

was the son of Jeong In-seon,

Jeong Hyo-bong,

who was called the prodigy of his time.

Thank you for the meal. From now on,

you don't have to take care of my food.

Sir, but how will you feed yourself?

I'll cook my own. I'll find a way.

I've been here for a while now.

I shouldn't be a freeloader. [sighs]

Thanks to you, the kids in the village

are learning to read and write.

- This is the least I could do.

- The world is changing.

They should be ready for that.

I told you to stop saying "sir."

I'm just a lowly commoner.

Twerp. If you're a lowly commoner,

then I am too. And so is the king.

Ah, you can't say that.

You'll be in trouble.

[laughs softly]

Please, sir. Even if my cooking's poor,

let me serve you.

It's tough enough to keep yourself fed.

Bandits are everywhere.

- I'll get going.

- Okay.

[strains]

[grunts]

Huh. [exhales]

- [man] Oh my. Hyung, sir!

- [grunts]

Oh no, you might hurt

yourself doing that! Please.

Goodness, sir.

Chopping wood is not for everyone.

Honestly, I'm fine.

I should get used to it.

You'll get hurt. Okay?

It's my job to bring you firewood.

You don't have to do it.

Wimp, I can get my own firewood.

Ah, please, just leave it

to all of us, okay?

I mean, if you really wanna help,

just go up there

and bring us back some twigs.

Do you think you can do that? Mmm?

Thank you, Wimp. I can do that.

Whew.

- [sighs]

- [Wimp] Wait, wait, wait.

Oh my God.

- Stick to the hiking trail!

- [Hyo-bong] Okay.

- [suspenseful music plays]

- [owl hoots]

[Hyo-bong panting]

Oh no, this is not good.

Is it normally this hard to tell

if you're on the right trail or not?

Huh?

[wind gusting]

[groans] My back! What's happening?

[intense whooshing sound]

Oh.

[futuristic music plays]

Huh? What is that?

Oh!

[gasps]

[gasping]

My goodness.

[whirring]

[rattling]

- [zapping]

- [hissing]

[gasps]

[gasps] Oh!

[music fades]

[crickets chirping]

It seems silly.

I'm sure you also think so.

I'll ask you one question.

How many years

have you lived in this village?

I'm 30 years old, so 30 years.

- I'm the same age as him, so 30 as well.

- [Twerp] Mmm.

Have you two ever been

outside this village?

- Not once.

- There's really no reason to leave.

How big is the Qing Empire

compared to Joseon?

- Mmm

- Any idea?

[Hyo-bong] It's a hundred times bigger.

How many countries are out there

as big as the Qing Empire?

Countless!

- Oh God, is that really true?

- Really?

This shouldn't be that shocking to you.

The world out there is really big.

It wouldn't make sense

that I was spared for no reason.

But my father

is giving me a chance from heaven.

[mysterious music playing]

A chance to change the world.

Wimp? Twerp? What kind of names are those?

- We are not some dogs, are we?

- [Twerp] Hmm

- [Wimp] No.

- We're all precious. We are all equal.

So why don't we have

the same opportunities?

Well, then, um, I'll do whatever you say.

Well, in that case, do you think

maybe I should change my name?

- Huh?

- Okay.

[Hyo-bong] Stamp this.

In this small country, Joseon,

in this tiny cottage, we'll make an oath.

An oath we'll make for a new world.

The result of this

will astound you.

- Well, do it.

- Oh. Yeah.

[Twerp chuckles]

- [Hyo-bong] A new world is coming.

- [all laughing]

[music fades]

[c*ck crows]

My husband!

Why are you all dressed up like that,

when you never seem to step outside?

[chuckles]

I enjoy it.

Why not go catch a pheasant?

Or visit a courtesan house

to hear a song?

If you spend some time

with a courtesan, maybe

it would help liven you up a little?

I enjoy it here.

Well, um,

it doesn't matter if it's daylight.

Let's enjoy some time together

in our room. Mmm?

We could get dressed into lighter clothes.

- So we could

- [man laughs]

[laughing]

If you don't like me,

then use a concubine.

- You still have to carry the family line!

- Miss, your father-in-law's here.

Please, quiet down.

How dare you call me "miss"?

- [gasps]

- Are you assuming that I'm still a virgin?

Would I wear a binyeo if I was a virgin?

Why do I carry this? Am I a widow?

Even widows bedded their husbands

while they were still alive.

[whooshing]

[wife] You're right.

- Still a virgin.

- I've committed a grave sin, miss.

Oh, sh*t.

- You're a sl*t.

- [dog barking]

I'll cut your husband's

little d*ck off today.

You b*tch! [screeches]

- [laughs]

- [dog howling]

[crickets chirping]

[door opens]

[footsteps]

[dramatic music plays]

[grunting]

Uh Huh?

Hmm.

[whirring]

[energy building]

[gasps]

[crackling]

- [heavy thump]

- [both yelp]

- [Wimp and Twerp squeal]

- Huh?

- [Twerp] Was that Oh

- [Wimp gasping]

- Wh

- [Twerp] Sh, sh, sh sh, sh Real?

Aah.

Aah.

[gasps]

- [laughs]

- Huh?

[Wimp whimpering]

Oh oh my.

- The the world.

- Huh? Huh

- He's right. The world's about to change.

- Oh!

- Hey, everything he said is true!

- [gasping]

You look like me. Uh

Wait. You are me now?

I mean then who am I?

Go ahead and put him the machine now.

- [both] Okay.

- Uh

Uh, we are not going to hurt you.

You'll just spend some time

in another body, okay?

We're just borrowing

your body for good things.

Sure. [chuckles]

- Really?

- Yeah.

[Wimp] Please go in. Okay.

[whirring]

[mysterious music playing]

[chuckles]

[power building up]

[crackling]

- [zapping]

- [hissing]

[Twerp] Huh?

- [Wimp] What?

- [Twerp] Uh

Huh?

- What the hell?

- What is it?

W wait, sir!

Wh what happened? He's a a

- A stone.

- Stone?

A stone.

What are you talking about?

You can't turn him into a stone.

What are you doing?

Don't you talk down to me, f*ck.

Sir, but

Why are you calling me "sir"

when you're older than me?

Oh, wait. Am I older now?

- What?

- [chuckles]

[man] Young Master!

Young Master!

Over here!

You know what?

- I hate how good-looking you are.

- What?

[Hyo-bong] It's disgusting.

- How come lowly commoners look so good?

- [searcher] Young Master!

[Hyo-bong] Here, k*ll these two

and take those things,

and dump them all down in the river.

- [searcher] Yes, sir!

- Damn, you f*cking b*stard.

You scum will pay for kidnapping him.

Come on, get 'em!

Oh, yes, you'll pay for this.

Scumbags!

[screaming]

- [wife gasps] M my husband.

- [woman] Oh.

[wife gasps]

Wh what has happened to you?

[whimpers]

Our room is waiting.

Uh You Our room? Why?

To do husband-and-wife things.

A nobleman should have

at least a dozen sons.

He must've been seriously injured.

I don't care.

Should I prepare a bath?

No need. There's no time to waste.

I have to hurry,

before he changes his mind.

- Mm-hmm.

- When I enter the room, lock us both in.

- And don't interrupt us, even for tea.

- Yes, ma'am.

[laughing]

Even if it is in the countryside,

how come those f*cking assholes

are getting paid government money?

I'll fix this myself.

- [Hyo-bong] Aah.

- [woman 1 giggles]

- [woman 2] Oh!

- [Hyo-bong] Aah.

[woman 1] Get home safely, sir.

- [woman 2] Sir, have a good night.

- [sighs] Let's go.

[groans softly]

[grunts]

Oh my

[grunts]

[sinister music plays]

[sighs]

[chef 1] Jeong Hyo-bong.

We have spent years trying to find you.

We will not harm you if you tell us

where the object

that changed your appearance is.

[dramatic music playing]

[Hyo-bong panting]

[gasping]

You b*stards!

You're those purple monsters, aren't you?

Just because I ran off, unlike a nobleman,

do I

look like someone to you

who would die

at the hands of you animals, huh?

As I said, I will spare your life

as long as you give us the object.

[laughs]

That object?

You

You're pathetic little creatures,

aren't you?

Well? Guess what I did!

I dumped it into the Socheon River,

you idiots.

Is is that true?

It might have sunk underwater.

Or it might float.

The spot has a strong current,

so then, the latter would be likely.

Satisfied?

How much longer will it take

for us to find it?

Huh?

Huh? What are you doing?

Are you b*stards making fun of me?

[chef 1] We cannot harm humans.

What?

You stupid fools!

You just signed your death warrants.

[panting]

[chef 2 sighs]

[crunch]

[arrow falls]

[chef 1] We can never harm humans.

We'll negotiate as much as we can, but

we can only threaten them

if things get dangerous.

[chef 2] We haven't even met anyone

to threaten or negotiate with.

[chef 1] The map guidance system

ended here

- [chef 3] Hmm

- [thunderclap]

[electricity buzzing and crackling]

[all gasping]

- [thunder rumbling]

- There it is.

[woman whimpers]

[thunder crashing]

[steady bleeping]

[sighs] What now?

[Yoo] These machines are alive.

I brought them to life.

So they're working now?

Not for long. It's like CPR.

Why are you so calm, then?

[Yoo] Well, what am I supposed to do?

You're asking me?

You should make them work!

They should operate!

How do I achieve that?

Really? sh*t!

So what are you even doing, then?

- [Yoo] I'm calling their owner.

- [groans]

I'm sure they feel the machines,

now that they're here and alive.

- [Tae-man sighs]

- [Yoo] The master of these living things.

- Calling them.

- Are you insane?

[Yoo] Once they arrive, we will kneel down

and offer this world to them.

I hate disasters. I hate wars.

And the savages

Humans are savages,

destroying the planet they live on.

With their own hands. Pieces of sh*t!

But these!

They will protect this crazy world.

- We should be ruled by them.

- [thunder crashes]

That's the only way.

Okay

I get it.

Yeah. You're right.

So they could

probably work once or twice now.

Right?

[Yoo] Probably.

Probably's good.

Aw, you're so cute!

- [dog whirring]

- What's its name?

Epicyon.

It's been ages since he died.

Just move on.

- [thunder crashes]

- [Epicyon barks]

All right, all right. Fine, fine.

Epicyon. Okay?

- They don't look alike at all, though.

- He has been reborn stronger.

- Epicyon.

- [whirs and barks]

- Bite!

- Huh?

- [electricity zapping]

- [Tae-man screams]

- [snorts]

- [Tae-man yelling]

[Baek-joong] Hmm?

What are you doing? You're crazy!

- I'm crazy?

- [Tae-man groans]

- You think I don't know what you're up to?

- [groaning]

You deserve a beating, don't you?

How am I going to introduce you

to the masters when they arrive?

- You're an embarrassment to me.

- You're crazy. Mental!

You're crazier, you b*stard.

Wake up, child!

A new world is arriving tonight!

[yells] Thunder!

[dramatic music playing]

[Choi] Oh-h*!

[both grunting]

[moaning] Stop this!

[groans] You stop this!

Okay, whatever you want, just end this!

You make this stop first. Aah!

Are we gonna stay like this

all night long?

- [Yoo and Tae-man wailing]

- [chef 2] What's happening?

- Sounds like someone's fighting.

- [sighs] We're unable to see inside.

- [Tae-man] f*ck! It hurts!

- [Kwangdae] What are we going to do?

Since we don't know what'll happen,

let's find an escape route first.

- [Tae-man] f*ck you!

- [Yoo wails]

Let's take a look around.

- [Tae-man] f*ck you!

- [Yoo] All right, all right. Stop.

- [Tae-man] Oww!

- Count to three and stop together.

Okay.

O one

Two! [groans]

- [yelps] Th three!

- [yells] Thunder!

[both screaming]

[rock music plays]

[crackling]

[Tae-man sobbing] Stop!

- Stop it! Oh

- [thump]

- Min-ah!

- Min-ah!

[gurgling and grunting]

Thunder!

- Truce! I call a truce.

- [squeals]

- Thunder!

- E Epicyon!

- [Tae-man shrieks]

- [both panting]

[Yoo] We will talk later.

[gurgles] I told you two

to trust me and wait.

Get back in there!

You may not know

what it's like to be a father,

but we risk our lives

for our children, you b*stard!

- [Baek-joong grunts]

- [door opens]

- [Baek-joong] Huh?

- [Choi] Huh?

[chef 1] Whoa!

Fire formation!

- [woman] Fire, fire.

- [chef 2] Roar!

What the f*ck?

- Roar.

- Psst.

- Pew, pew.

- Oh!

Chicken nugget woman?

[Choi] Oh? That's her!

Oh, sh*t, man!

[dynamic music playing]

[Tae-man] Iku!

[chef 2] Roar.

[chef 1 sighs]

[gasps]

[gasps and yelps]

Oh my God. Who who are you?

Sir, it's me. It's Twerp.

You're still alive?

Yeah.

But Wimp is dead.

I thought I was going to die too.

Huh?

I was too resentful to die,

even after being buried alive.

[groans]

[Hyo-bong gasping for breath]

f*ck me.

You were going to change the world.

I tried

I I tried my best to change the world.

[gasping]

[laughing]

You're all just so stupid.

No man can change it.

[splutters]

[groans]

[Twerp sighs heavily]

Aaah

I should rest now too.

f*ck you.
