K*llers, The (2024)

[bunniefuu]

I rather believe in aliens.

We can't be the only ones

in this universe.

My grandma said she saw a ghost

while sh1tting on the toilet

just before giving birth to my mom.

As she's never lied,

I believe she did see it.

Also...

I believe vampires exist

as I encountered one myself.

METAMORPHOSIS

I will change.

I promise I'll be good.

Change how?

A leopard can't change its spots.

But I can, I can change!

Really?

Don't try too hard.

Master has already given up on you.

Why did you pocket so petty

over and over?

You should've made off

with the good share.

Why hurt each other

by being so clumsy and bad?

So embarrassing.

No! There must've been

some misunderstanding.

What misunderstanding?

Huh?

I hear you.

Wait a sec, okay?

CALLER: ALICE

Yes.

Right, I get it.

I guess so.

What?

No way.

A leopard can't change its spots

you know.

I confirm.

Please handle it with care.

And, when it's done,

come join me for soju.

Ciao.

I got the master's confirmation.

Told us to handle it with care.

Chang-joong...

You know we are like a family!

I am really sorry.

I must've fallen asleep.

How long did I sleep?

Just a little while, sir.

I am sorry.

Let me use the bathroom.

Strange.

How did I get here?

Here. Drink it.

Doesn't it bother you?

Hold still.

Relax.

Drink it.

It's called Manhattan.

It would make you at ease.

You are so lucky, sir.

Listen.

I just don't know

what this place is about.

MOONLIT NIGHYou don't like it?

I don't really have...

a sweet tooth.

I like Martinis.

How did you have that

on the back?

Gosh...

It looked so painful.

It made me feel like

saving a human for the first time.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

You are open, right?

Let's sit here.

Let me go wash my hands.

Sure.

Do you have the single malt?

And...

something girls might like?

Sweet yet strong one.

How do you like it here?

Be more casual with me,

Mr. director.

I'm not really good at that.

Do you like to drink?

Yeah.

Movie directors should be

strong drinkers.

Drinking makes you smart

and good at alluring people.

Alluring is what we do.

You don't need to drink.

You're already so cool.

Thanks.

Glad to hear.

Great.

I think we've found him, master.

Thank you.

Looks so tasty.

I feel good...

Here.

This should be even better.

You know the blood...

tastes better in autumn.

More flavorful.

The blood in cold winter

is also a delicacy.

But this rich flavor in autumn.

It's one of a kind.

Especially, the middle-aged man's

has this ripened taste.

I thought the people of your kind

bite necks with your fangs, no?

Who does that now?

You should stay graceful.

Alright.

It already happened.

You need to drink it to survive.

Try it.

Have some.

I was not expecting this.

There are lots of things

you need to learn.

What a waste.

You should be careful after the meal.

Because...

you would become feisty.

To what extent?

Wun-chul!

Let me pass, thank you.

Is that the farthest you could run?

Should've gone farther.

To what extent?

You would beat at least

20 hollow to relax.

Control yourself.

METAMORPHOSIS

BANSUK WOLF

AND SHIM EUN-KYUNG

CONTRACTORS

Name?

Won-su, as in Enemy.

Funny name, isn't it?

What has he done?

Do I have to tell you?

No need to if it bothers you.

I might die unless he does.

I can't bear it anymore.

Must be a son of a b*tch.

This f*ck.

You know the price?

You know

we're quite a systematic team.

Here, 300K dollars for advance.

See it yourself.

No need.

Here, 100K for advance.

The rest will come

once you're done.

How much for the rest?

Will pay the balance of 300K

once the job is done.

50K.

Hey, 150K in total

is more than enough!

Okay.

- 30K.

- Thank you.

In a lump sum.

- Don't smirk, f*ck.

- Thank you, sir.

Here, 3,000.

See it yourself.

What? Wait.

For real?

3,000?

It's way too small.

Don't you know

that you're a trainee?

I gotta get paid

for teaching you, dude.

Right.

Bro, for the job of this scale...

extra 20K would

motivate me more...

What about my share of it?

You think I run a charity?

Sorry.

He's a music professor at

Woo-rim Univ.

He's always at school on weekdays.

The best would be waiting

at the outdoor parking lot.

He always parks at the same spot.

No. 47 at section C.

It's an olive green Ferrari.

You can hardly miss it.

Here.

His name is Lee Won-su.

There is a university in a suburb of Seoul.

He's a music professor there.

It's...

a music professor.

This f*ck is the music professor

at that famous university.

Anyway, you get that.

Right, the picture.

- Will send you later once I find it.

- Yes.

But you'd know when you see him.

Dude looks f*cking pretentious

and out of place.

The client is a young girl.

And she cried out loud

saying she wants to die because of him.

f*ck, you burn his flesh

or debone...

That f*ck messed with a baby...

As a father myself...

That little girl still suffers trauma.

And attempted suicide?

Anyway, f*cking depressed.

So do something

about this f*ck, okay?

He's always at school on weekdays.

You pick a date

and take care of him.

No. 47 at section C

in the school parking lot.

You will find a green Ferrari there.

That's his car, hard to miss.

f*cking Ferrari?

Or Porche?

Either of them.

Will tell you later.

Anyway, there's the school parking lot.

Section C.

C?

A college professor.

Handle him at the parking lot.

Anyway...

Once you wrap it up neatly,

I'll give you an extra one thousand.

You need to settle down.

Really?

So do it well, you sucker.

I will do my best!

Take care.

Don't hurt yourself.

He's a real f*ck. Damn it.

Will do it when no one is around.

Over weekend, I guess.

It should be on weekdays.

Green car?

Olive green Ferrari.

That f*ck, I'll k*ll him.

Put him in agony.

That's what's important.

Hey, where are you?

We're already here.

Hurry.

Huh?

What are you talking about?

Whatever.

Just hurry. Okay?

What is it?

He said he's almost here

and not to get surprised.

By what?

Who knows?

He said he will tell us

when he's here.

Kwon-su.

Let's talk before he comes.

Go ahead.

I think 300 bucks is

too little for contract m*rder.

Hey,

Sang-tae gets less than that.

He is coming to help me

only getting 100.

How can you do this to us?

You need to pay us 500 at least!

Stop nagging about money!

I told you.

If this were for money,

I wouldn't have called you.

He's a f*cking b*stard.

He's done all the shitty things

and got away with them.

The client tried everything

then came to us

for the last resort.

Have you ever put yourself in her shoes?

You're being so selfish today.

You were not like that.

Hey.

What the hell?

- What happened to you?

- Who are you?

Did you get an accident

on the way?

- I got a plastic surgery.

- What?

Are you okay to walk around?

Doctor said it's okay.

The surgery went well.

What did you get done?

- Holy sh*t.

- f*ck.

Eyes, nose, and double jaws.

Why?

You know...

For an audition.

Audition?

- What audition?

- Just an audition.

What? You usually don't

care a sh*t about me.

Let's hurry and get the job done.

This way, right?

Hey, look for a green car.

- No picture?

- Just a green car.

Koreans don't usually

drive green cars.

So just look for a green car.

- He must be an oddball.

- I bet.

Green means evil.

Traditionally, it's regarded bad

in Western cultures.

Is there such a thing

good or evil color?

It's a sort of superstition.

Just like we think 4 is ominous.

By the way, what kind of

audition is it, really?

Well...

It's been my dream.

Being an actor.

And as I live only once,

I want to give it a try.

- Don't you have dreams?

- Of course, I do. Being a nun.

Police officer for me.

Nun and police officer.

Nice.

Guys, let's make them happen!

We're still young.

You know 40 is the new 20

in modern days' life span.

It means we're 5th graders now.

- Sang-tae.

- Huh?

What do you think about the fact

we only get 100 for this job?

Nothing we can do.

We don't do this for the sake of money.

- You don't?

- No.

Of course, I need money.

I'm broke.

I borrowed some money

for this surgery too.

But this job means a lot.

That's why I came out

while the doctor told me to stay in.

He's the devil, right?

The world will get better

once he's dead, won't it?

It just doesn't feel right

to argue about money over this.

It's not cool.

Anyway, Kwon-su, thank you.

All these experiences will become

the foundation for me

as an actor.

Well, will try to ask for more

once we finish the job.

Guess I would be able to

get extra 500 at least.

Really? Are you sure?

Of course! I can try!

Right! Asking doesn't harm.

You can just give it a try!

That's the only green car, right?

Yes.

Guys.

There's one thing

I haven't told you.

There was a request.

Not to k*ll at once

but to make him suffer

until the very end.

She must've suffered a lot

because of that scumbag.

Let's make it right today.

Don't be weak!

He's here.

Where?

- It's a woman.

- A woman can be evil.

Don't judge by appearance.

I heard that

she's f*cking pretentious.

Looks decent but nasty inside.

Let's go! Hurry!

Does this car belong to you?

Yeah...

Do you work at this college?

Pardon? Well...

You're going home now?

Yes...?

Then there's no mistaking.

What...

Who are you?

Are you students?

Please...

Don't come near!

f*ck!

You stop right there!

Stop!

We did it!

Faster than we thought!

Did you guys know

that we would succeed?

I had no idea even she is a she!

- I felt dizzy when she hit me!

- Is your face okay?

We're not doing this for money!

What did she say?

Did you get that?

She offered us the money.

That scumbag!

Oh, the head goes here.

Who wants to start?

f*ck.

Turn off your phones

while on duty.

It's not mine.

- Not mine, either.

- Really.

But it's not mine.

It's her mom.

Mom?

What are you saying?

Say it clearly, damn it.

Mom! Mom...

Please...

Please let me talk to her.

- Hey, come here.

- Ma... Please...

What if she called the cop?

It's strange her mom

calls at this moment.

That's what mothers do.

They call you out of the blue.

Guys, I think this is the chance.

To test her.

- Test what?

- Her personality.

We can immediately see

if it's a lie or not.

- What if it's a lie?

- We can k*ll her right away.

Oh god...

What's your password?

Hey.

- You!

- Yes, sir.

If you try to say anything stupid,

will k*ll you and your parents too.

Got it?

Will tell nothing.

Never. I promise.

So-min? Hello?

Ma... mom?

Are you still at school?

I called you earlier.

Huh? I'm not at school.

So you left already.

Have you had dinner?

Huh? Yeah...

How about you?

Sure I did.

You sound a bit strange.

Are you sick?

You caught a cold?

No! What?

I caught no cold.

Nothing's wrong with my voice.

I'm okay.

Cover yourself while sleeping.

It's cold at night.

When you catch a cold,

it takes long for you to get well.

I called you to come over

for dinner if you were at school.

- Ma... mom!

- I'll hang up.

Mom? Are you there?

Why?

I'm still here. Tell me.

It's just... I was so happy

to be your daughter.

What is it with you?

I just mean it.

What happened?

Is something wrong?

No, nothing.

It's just... I saw a movie.

It was so touching.

And made me think of

you and Dad.

I just love you and dad so much.

Me, too.

I love you, my girl.

Mom?

Yeah?

You will...

live long healthily, right?

Of course.

Will live happily ever after with you!

You coming on next weekend?

I'll cook bulgogi, your favorite.

Of course.

So-min, keep yourself warm.

You sound bad.

I'm okay.

It's because of the movie.

Got it. Then take care.

Drive safe.

You know...

I didn't believe in god.

But seeing you in front of me...

I think god must've

listened to my prayers.

- What did you ask?

- To take me...

to my daughter in Heaven.

I can happily die now.

- Thank you.

- What the...

I'm so grateful.

- So her daughter died.

- Guess so.

- Mom...

- No, no. Stop it.

We're being too sentimental now.

Let's get to the job.

Who goes first?

Sang-tae, you go.

I'll do it later.

Then Sun-young

you stab her first.

We'll k*ll her

within today, you know.

The money she offered earlier...

How about taking it first

then k*lling her?

The request was

to make her suffer.

Why rush?

Honestly it keeps bothering me

to k*ll someone for only 300.

- 300?

- Hey!

Yes... 300.

Because we get...

100 each...

So total 300, right?

100 or 300, whatever.

Sang-tae, does money

mean nothing to you really?

I've never said that.

That's what I'm talking about.

We can take the money from her, right?

It's not forbidden or anything.

300...

So how much do you f*cking have?

You mean money?

Yes! You said

you would give us the money!

Money...

How much do you want?

- 3K.

- Hey!

- 30K!

- Right!

Okay.

I will give you

all the money I've got.

There's a banking app

on my phone.

It asks for your password.

Oh, S-E-K.

In capital or small letters?

Will you try the capital

for the first letter?

Better be correct!

- Captal for S...

- It must be right.

And small letters for E and K?

That's right.

S-E-K...

- S-E...

- You f*cking stammer!

- S-E-K...

- @ 5-6-4-8.

Then?

Exclamation mark.

- Its says no.

- No...

- Incorrect?

- No way! It's correct!

I put it in the memo pad.

I saved everything there.

Where is the memo pad?

Is this the one?

Yes.

There.

By the way...

are you sure

I'm the one to k*ll?

I just... don't understand why.

Because you drive the green car.

Green car? Huh?

Still incorrect.

You're a professor but

you've done shits to the kids!

We know everything.

- Professor?

- Yes.

Professor...

I'm not the professor!

I mean it!

I just work at administration office!

Yeah, administration!

That's your department!

How does it...

Administration is not...

I am not a professor!

Professors don't work at administration!

I'm telling the truth!

Our target was a professor?

Didn't I tell you?

No, you just told us

to look for the green car.

No way, I explained

everything at the beginning.

No, you didn't.

I didn't?

No, you dumb a*s.

Okay, I didn't.

But what if she is

a f*cking professor?

- Hey, call the college.

- Why?

To check.

I don't have the number.

The school's number is...

031-023-2373.

Call and check.

Shut the f*ck up!

Call.

I said call, Kwon-su.

Okay. I'll call.

No problem.

I'll call the school and check.

And if you're a f*cking professor

I'll k*ll you right away, okay?

This is the moment

I've been scared of most.

Did you expect this?

She's a woman and mother.

Something felt off

the moment I saw her first.

Things go wrong

because of people like you.

You should've tried to straighten things

if you sensed something was off.

You're saying it's my fault?

What I'm saying is

you are no different from Kwon-su.

And what makes you think

you're so different?

You're the same!

Hey, wait!

I'm getting through!

Damn as*h*le.

I am not a professor.

I swear.

They said I'm not, right?

f*ck, they don't answer

as it is weekend.

f*ck, why don't they answer?

I just wanted to

make the world a better place...

but I feel trapped.

Excuse me, if...

I give you all the money I've got...

are you willing to let me live?

How much you've got?

I've got 300K in my account.

It's my daughter's death benefit

and I haven't touched it.

Just let me go.

You know that I'm not your target.

You are young, good and innocent.

Don't do this.

You'll get punished!

You're committing a sin!

I'll give you 100K each.

100K to each of you.

100K? Really?

Yes, 100K.

And you can swear

that you're not a professor?

Yes, I can!

How many times

should I tell you?

Oh god.

I think I know who it is.

Must be that f*ck.

I'm sure.

He's a dean.

And got damn many cars.

Even the green one.

He's a real f*ck!

He walks over people.

Also embezzles money!

I'm sure he's the one.

There are so many people

who want to k*ll him!

Sir, I know everything about him.

Address, phone number

and family information, all!

He's so weak as he's too old.

It would be a piece of cake.

And because of that f*ck...

my daughter died.

What has he done to her?

Lee Jong-se, that f*ck!

I came to work on weekends

to take care of his expenses!

If only we could go to

the hospital then...

His name is Lee Jeong-se?

No, Lee Jong-se!

J-O-N-G!

Lee Jong-se.

f*ck...

This one looks decent, too.

That's what we heard.

Yeah.

But does something bad to kids...

I am so ruined.

I should've died.

- Is he the one?

- Yes!

He's the guy.

This b*stard.

That's right.

I feel bad for her.

Young-hee.

I think my daughter sent you here

asking you to avenge her death.

I beg you...

k*ll this b*stard.

He's the real devil.

I will give you the money...

No, everything I've got.

Just take it!

I'll give you everything.

Just k*ll this f*ck!

Kwon-su, what do you think?

Young-hee, my girl.

And you promise

to give us the money?

Yes!

Why don't you trust me?

How many times

do I have to tell you?

Okay.

Then tell us the details.

Well...

100 thousand...

and 34.35 dollars!

Everything's okay?

- You all received it?

- Yes!

It's done!

- Can I go now?

- Sure!

- Are you okay with wounds?

- Sure.

- Let me help you.

- No, I'm fine!

We sincerely apologize.

No way.

Everyone makes mistakes.

You know this dean...

Just take care of him.

We'll make sure to k*ll

this f*ck Lee Jong-se.

I'm counting on you.

Also please stay healthy.

- Take care!

- Drive safe!

Take care!

- Ciao!

- Bye!

Please get well soon!

Wow, 100K!

- Hey, Karim!

- Hi!

- You're here!

- Hello, bro!

Karim.

- You came quick.

- Sang-tae, what's wrong with your face?

It's nothing.

Thank you for coming so quickly.

It's you guys.

I should come.

Karim, there's a special job...

That you can only do.

Nobody else can do it.

How much?

Karim, it's a really meaningful job.

- You're a good person, right?

- I guess so.

This job is bigger than money.

So...

He's the evil of worst description.

I heard about him and...

he did all those wicked things!

You think it's going well?

He should cut prices

as much as possible.

50 dollars would be nice.

We should nip it in the bud

to make the world a better place.

We're in this together!

Those little ones...

We should nip it in the bud!

Okay, I'll treat you beef!

Take care!

Make sure to take care of it!

- Okay, bye!

- Bye!

So long!

- How did it go?

- All went well. He's such a good boy.

Nice!

Let's eat something nice

when we're f*cking rich.

Right, how much do we have?

Let's eat something expensive.

What are your plans for tomorrow?

I'll sign up for the classes of

the civil service exam.

- For being a police officer?

- You can even get the room to study.

Sure! How about you?

First...

- I'll go to the church and pray.

- Pray.

Then I'll do some

volunteer works for a while.

That's nice too.

Sang-tae, I guess you need to

receive the revision surgery.

This case happened in 2019 came to an end as the last

subcontractor, foreigner A reported to the police.

Woman B, accidentally dragged into the case,

was also arrested for soliciting a m*rder.

It is known that A reported not for the contract

k*lling but for the violation of the minimum wages act.

TAVERN

President PARK attended

the completion ceremony of

Sapgyo Lake Seawall

in Dang-jin, Chungnam Province.

President expressed his satisfaction

with the facility

and praised public service workers

for their hard works.

OH YEON-A

JANG HYUN-SUNG

KIM MIN

PARK SANG-MYUN - LEE JUN-HYUK

KIM SOO-JIN - JUN SUK-h*

It's you again.

As usual.

EVERYONE IS WAITING FOR THE MAN

It got a bit chilly, right?

I don't see the granny today.

My mom went to Iri.

To attend my cousin's wedding.

She comes back early tomorrow.

She's just 20 now

and hit it off with her teacher.

Her folks were against the marriage

but the couple was inseparable.

I'll join you tonight.

It's not fun drinking alone, right?

Here.

It's the merit of working alone!

Isn't that right?

This is a fine stuff.

Straight from the sea.

We usually keep it for family.

But I'm making an exception

for my handsome customer.

Try it.

Miss...

are you married?

Why do you ask?

Wanna arrange a match for me?

Just curious.

I always wanted to ask.

What is this painting?

No idea.

Picked it up

at the junk shop next door.

I just like it.

Looks like it's a foreign country.

America maybe?

Not sure.

That man in hat showing his back...

Doesn't he look like

waiting for someone?

Just like someone here!

You're waiting for

someone, aren't you?

Am I?

It's been already 2 weeks.

A stranger

who suddenly started to come

everyday at the same hour alone.

Isn't it strange?

Who is that?

That you're so eagerly waiting for?

Is she pretty?

So, it's a girl.

I'm not done talking.

Where are you going?

To the john!

It's on the right side of entrance.

Oh, you are here!

You filthy b*stard!

No, it's not what you think.

What do I think?

Well, it's...

Damn moron.

You're on stakeout!

You slacker!

What kind of detective

jerks off during a stakeout?

- It's not what you think, I said.

- You liar.

I saw you taking it out.

Already 2 weeks passed.

I don't think that b*stard is here.

The only thing we know is that

his name is Yum Sang-go

and he's got a narcissus tattoo

on his left shoulder.

His hometown, age, address

and signalment all unknown!

We won't be able to catch him

or recognize him

even if he turns up before us.

He'll definitely show up.

And it's chief's special order.

Catch him no matter what.

Dead or alive.

Sir...

How about digging other places?

He will definitely come to that place.

Yum Sang-go.

Did you take a sh*t?

What took you so long?

Welcome.

What should I get you?

Are you the owner?

Yes.

Whatever you got.

That's right.

Nothing so far, sir.

Detective Choi is inside.

Yes, both of us are fully loaded.

Of course, sir.

No one except us knows about this.

Yes, sir! Of course, sir!

f*ck... there's not a soul in sight.

Whom is he pressing us to catch?

Damn stupid codger.

Is he from this town?

No.

He said he came to work

at the construction site nearby.

Since when?

About 2 weeks ago.

Have you...

seen any tattoos

on his left shoulder?

Like... a narcissus tattoo.

- Narcissus tattoo?

- Shush!

Did you see it?

The tattoo?

How could I?

We are not that intimate.

- How about his name?

- Name?

Yeah, his name!

Yum Sang-go!

Has anyone with that name come here?

I've never heard of it.

Hey, mister!

Why don't you join us

when you're on your own?

It's almost the curfew.

- And I already drank a lot.

- f*ck!

Can you call yourself a man

when you're afraid of a curfew?

You're way too interested in a stranger.

I couldn't help it.

The guy who was drinking alone

started throwing away

his drinks on the quiet

since we came in.

Hey, come join us!

Sir?

What is it?

What are you doing here?

It's almost the curfew hour.

I'm a policeman from Seoul.

Go away.

Show me your ID, please.

Oh, gosh...

What did you just say?

Show me your ID...

Satisfied now?

- Read the f*cking air.

- I am sorry.

Even a hillbilly constable

should know when to butt in!

I apologize.

I'm on a special mission.

Go away, will you?

Sir.

What now?

May I ask...

about the mission?

What's wrong with you?

I should report to the station

about what happens in our precinct.

You nutjob...

Want some serious troubles?

I apologize.

Damn... f*cking moron.

I believe you are looking for...

Looking for what, f*ck!

Yum Sang-go...

What?

What is it? What is this?

f*cking moron...

So you're looking for

a guy named Yum Sang-go.

Then let me ask you one thing.

That man... Yum Sang-go.

What is he like?

A dreadful b*stard.

One hell of a k*ller!

One hell of a k*ller!

The price on his head

is enormous, too.

So many hunters are chasing

to k*ll him.

And are you one of them?

We are professionals.

Entirely different from

those th*gs.

That b*stard

everyone is waiting for.

I'm so curious what he looks like.

No one knows.

Whoever saw his face

all died.

Then how can you find him

not knowing what he looks like?

Narcissus tattoo.

He has that on his left shoulder.

And you are saying

he will come here tonight?

For sure!

Before midnight...

You got the wrong intel

as it's midnight soon.

You never know.

He might be already here.

Now it's your turn to answer.

Are you Yum Sang-go?

Well...

are you satisfied now?

It's curfew hour.

Isn't it?

Who am I talking to?

I'm asking what you're doing here

when it's past the curfew!

Answer me!

Are you all deaf?

Hello?

Hold on, please.

He wants to talk to

one of you two.

Speaking.

Miss...

Lock this place up, quick.

- Excuse me?

- Now!

Okay.

We have in here...

Yum Sang-go!

Look at these b*stards.

Are you out of your minds?

Dare to point your g*ns

at a police officer?

You're not a police officer!

Firearms are not supplied

to a mere constable.

So you must be either Yum

or someone came to k*ll him.

Neither we nor this fella is Yum.

It means you're Yum.

So drop your g*n

or you're a dead meat!

I am not Yum Sang-go!

Prove it!

f*ck... then who the hell is him!

Show yourself!

If none of us is Yum...

Quite slow-witted.

All of you...

Shame you have to go.

I kinda liked you.

Are you cold?

Don't look up.

You're dead if you see my face.

Oh, you're here early.

Mom.

In 1979, a b*llet penetrated

the heart of darkness.

But...

the darkness didn't die away.

The underground city

of the urban legend

that may or may not exist.

The place for

the refugees, the outlaws,

the ill*gal aliens and the exiles.

We call it 'Diaspora City.'

OFF LIMITS

Was it because I've lived

underground too long?

That day, I dashed with the hammer

in a fit of helpless feeling.

To smash the radio on the counter

that played the gibberish

throughout the year.

I somehow hoped

the thing would be different.

But soon, I realized that

it was an empty hope

only after turning

the tuner a few times.

The music from

the old cassette player

that I accidentally pressed to play

made me smile

after a long while.

It was 1000 days anniversary

of Diaspora City,

the non-existent city.

On that day like other days,

Voice who can't speak

and Smile who can't smile

This way! Voice who can't

speak and Smile who can't smile

were arguing over where to hang

the celebration placard.

If they had not come that day,

that scene would've remained

as one from our daily life.

When the clock which was 10 mins fast

just passed 5:30pm,

they came in.

They're in identical outfits

with sunglasses,

long trench coats

that cowboys would wear

and military boots.

Looking as ridiculous as C-list comedians,

they ordered me to keep silent.

The rain must have stopped

in the outside world.

- That is a hole.

- That is a hole.

Not that kind of hole

that you might think of

when you hear the word.

The only opening through which

we get the peep of the outside world.

- Since we came here

- Since we came here

we couldn't tell

the day from the night

and thought we were deprived of

the right to enjoy the light.

But with that,

we now can tell

the night from the day.

People here call it a hole,

but for me it's a cinema.

Where I could occasionally dream.

In this shitty place,

where the stench

of depressing sweat

and sewage stagnate

like glacial ascetic acid,

people dream through that hole.

No, maybe,

we've been peeping through the hole,

hoping everyday would pass

without any trouble.

You!

Why do you look so rigid?

You should greet a customer

with a smile, that's the manner!

Got a problem with us here?

Want me to rip your mouth

so that you can smile ear to ear?

How many are you here?

Pardon?

We don't serve that...

And you're deaf, too?

He said how many of you work here!

Smile!

What are they up to?

Why do they

tell us to come and go?

No idea. You know?

Not sure, maybe for a souvenir photo?

The minute I saw the hammer,

I instantly foresaw the rise of trouble

even though I couldn't tell when.

Gather here quick!

Something that can't be withdrawn

like a lit fuse.

SMILE

Your name is Smile?

There was a bulletin on me

at my previous workplace.

'Why doesn't he smile at all?'

Someone accused me of not smiling

for some anti-state reasons.

Interesting.

- Here goes a pop quiz!

- Pop quiz!

We have recently welcomed

a new state leader.

He declared the merge of press

for the country's unison

as well as...

the eradication of instigators

nonetheless the number

to realize a society of justice!

He also emphasized the sacrifice

of us tightening our belts

to finally realize

the long-anticipated...

world peace.

Here goes the quiz.

If our leader comes here today

you'd welcome him with a warm smile?

I should smile, naturally.

Then show your smile.

- Smile.

- Smile.

- Now.

- Now.

Voice who can't speak...

VOICE Voice who can't speak...

Then I guess you've got

an issue with your trap.

Right?

Sunshine.

You're Sunshine.

What does it mean?

Stupid.

You dreamt too much

when you shouldn't have.

You're a dreamer, right?

We are here today...

And when they paused,

as if drawn by a force,

my hand reached out

for the hammer.

Wait!

But what I had in my hand was...

Are you pausing...

for the dramatic effects for

the next important speech?

- Just the air...

- She's shiny.

That's why she's called Sunshine.

I told you not to talk stupid.

Stupid? I told you

not to call me stupid!

We are here today

to k*ll someone

who comes here everyday

at 6 o'clock sharp.

Not a single second late!

And orders the same menu.

Roast pork with apple sauce

and mashed potato.

At six o'clock sharp...

Someone who comes everyday...

Orders same food

and takes the same seat!

Are you going to k*ll him?

k*ll?

We'll k*ll him!

Hey, it's me!

Your brother, Jong-se.

He who has k*lled other people

knows he can be

k*lled at any minute.

That's why he's

always on edge like this.

They assaulted like occupation forces,

and acted like loutish gangs,

and now are pettifogging.

Who are they?

Then what's next?

What next?

Well, suppose you k*ll that man.

Then what would happen to us?

That's what we'd like to know.

After that... Well...

What are we going to do?

Don't call me stupid again!

What shall we do?

What's next?

The next is...

After that...

Say nothing and do nothing.

Then nothing will happen.

They were neither C-list comedians

nor elegant audiences.

Not even the th*gs.

Saying they grip their g*ns tighter

with the pride to contribute

for a peaceful and clean society,

they were cheap authors

and the K*llers.

Nonetheless...

like we promised to each other

to say and do nothing,

we just stood there frozen

as if posing for a picture.

But at that moment!

I remembered they didn't know

the clock was 10 minutes fast.

Wait!

What has he done to you?

He didn't even have a chance.

We haven't met!

We'll meet

for the first and last time.

They have never met each other.

And if we say and do

nothing to him...

Nothing will happen to you!

So! I mean!

He always comes here

at 6 o'clock.

Always on time.

- But!

- But?

- But not everyday.

- Not everyday?

Anyway he comes at 6, right?

And one more thing.

That clock!

Other people will also come

as it is dinner time.

And we'll have more people

as today's an anniversary.

What shall we do with them?

We only got 2 minutes.

Oh my god!

What about telling everyone

the kitchen's closed today?

Damn, 1 minute left!

Wait!

Let go of me!

Say nothing and do nothing.

Then nothing will happen.

My feet moved against myself

when the clock hit 6.

Don't intervene in things like this.

Smile said with his hand.

Then, it happened in a flash.

The g*n landed in our hand.

Isn't it past 6?

Sir, that clock is...

- 10 minutes...

- 20 minutes fast!

- 20 minutes fast?

- I was trying to tell you.

So technically

it's not 6 yet, it is 5...

It is 5:40... no, 30.

We still got plenty of time.

Shall we eat something?

I'm hungry.

You get hungry now?

You stupid...

- What was that? Roast pork...

- With apple sauce...

- That's available from 6.

- But it is 6!

Told you that clock is

20 minutes fast.

Jeez!

What the...

Heard of the schizophrenia?

Schizophrenia as if

someone's splitting your mind?

Right, my sister suffers from it.

You see there's a flow

in a conversation.

But she doesn't have that!

Hover between reality and delusion.

One day, she told me not to drink

from this kettle saying it's poisoned.

I usually laugh her off but

it strangely upset me that day.

I can relate.

You get sensitive

- and uncontrollable over nothing.

- So I decided to k*ll her.

Think about it.

If she dies

I won't have to take care of her.

Or beat my gums like this.

So I plotted a perfect m*rder,

flawless from method to alibi.

Then?

But you don't have a sister.

What I'm saying is...

there's poison in this kettle!

Where are they?

Come back tomorrow!

Not today, tomorrow!

10-minute-fast clock was

approaching 6 o'clock.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Now.

Our plan was this.

I'd kick the k*ller's chairs to fall.

Three...

Two...

One!

Voice glared at me

pressing for an action,

but my feet didn't obey my mind.

- It's a ping pong ball.

- Sir.

It's 6 o'clock sharp.

We still got 10 minutes.

Did you smile?

Did you?

It's 6 o'clock!

Are you deaf or what?

She talks! Look!

b*stards!

They can smile, talk and kick!

You think I'm stupid?

Damn... should I just k*ll you all?

Let go of me.

Say nothing and do nothing.

Then nothing will happen.

Die!

What's next?

What's next?
