Her address is on the back.
She's in Korea?
How long have you known?
Dad!
For a while.
Zhenchen? Late again?
Hello Stranger.
Came alone?
Would you like a beer?
You're still at home?
Hurry! Customers are waiting.
Mr. Park wants to see you.
No one can fill in for you.
Just take a cab over.
Hurry.
Why's she always late like this?
She's weird.
Bring us more beer!
Get the beer.
Sure.
Lock up.
- Call if you need anything. - Bye.
Kid! You forgot to pay.
Sorry.
Fool!
Who are you?
Why'd you follow me?
Heard that?
Answer her!
Zhenchen!
I'm Zhenchen!
What's he saying?
Are you Chinese?
Aren't you going to explain?
What do you want to hear?
Going somewhere?
I'll give you some time.
Why'd you come here?
It's late. Sleep here.
- Here's a... - Close the door!
Move over.
The floor's cold.
Why sleep there?
Let's eat.
Move the blankets.
Eat up.
Aren't you eating?
I don't like soybean soup.
You did as a boy.
Thanks a lot.
Oh no.
Damn it.
You're back.
Will you order today?
Beer, please.
Another one, please.
I said, more beer!
Just to do this,
you left us?
For this,
you abandoned us?
Let's talk outside.
I'll buy him dinner. Watch the shop for me?
Do you have to go now?
It'll get busy soon.
I'll be right back.
Let's go.
Damn.
The meat is burning.
Stop drinking.
How dare you?
Go clean it up.
I'm sorry.
Where'd you get that temper of yours?
Obviously not from Dad!
I guess.
You're right.
How can you work there?
Why?
What's wrong with it?
I'm doing what I can do.
How long will you stay here?
I didn't come to live here.
Don't worry about that.
Take it.
I don't need it.
Here.
No!
Just take it.
Screw it!
Damn it.
What the hell?
Son of a bitch.
Hand it over.
Give it.
Why you.
Wait...
What the hell...
What happened?
Were you in a fight?
Tell me.
Hello?
Yes, I am.
Pardon?
Really?
Yes.
Thank you.
What did you do?
Explain yourself.
That bastard deserves to rot!
What?
He deserves to die.
How could you?
Not you too.
Filthy bitch.
What did you say?
I said, filthy bitch.
Dad won't live long.
His dying wish
is to see you, Mom.
Zhenchen.
That man...
He's hurt badly, but he'll live.
Let's go see him.
He'll understand.
He's a good man.
Come with me.
Is Mom fine?
Is Dad fine?
Who is finer?
Is Dad fine?
Is Mom fine?
Who is finer?
When Mom was gone
For all three meals
We ate just rice
When Dad was gone
For all night
We dreamt of goblins
Mom
Dad
Let's all live together
With the sun
And the moon
Like a house in the sky
That kid has a temper.
Maybe he takes after you.
Maybe not.
Look.
Whatever you did in China,
it doesn't matter now.
Thanks.
What now?
Wow!
It really suits you.
Your brother looks great.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Where'd you go?
I went to Hae-sun's house.
Why go there again?
Mother worried about you.
Did she go somewhere?
She took Zhenchen to look for you.
Don't leave without telling us.
I told you many times.
I won't.
It's because Mother worries.
What if you get caught?
I understand.
What's that?
Mommy!
Are you Zhenchen?
Zhenchen?
Long time no see.
I heard...
That I was in prison?
Who squealed on me?
I was, but I got out.
So here I am.
Why'd you come here?
I fed and raised you, orphan girl!
This is the thanks I get?
Don't forget.
Know how much it cost to bring you from North Korea?
I don't owe you anything.
Think it's over because you're here now?
Never!
You know?
Kids like him are worth a lot these days.
He could pay off your debt.
Remember my old place?
Come before daybreak.
Mommy!
Stay back!
It's okay.
Zhenchen?
I told you to eat big scoops.
Be thankful and don't be picky.
There's nothing to eat.
What do you mean?
I made all this food for us.
Your food tastes bad.
Have some soybean soup.
It's good! Eat it.
You wanna go hungry?
Don't cry, Zhenchen.
Don't force him to eat.
Want new rice?
Want me to get it?
Mommy?
Why aren't you in bed?
Is Mom fine?
Is Dad fine?
Who is finer?
Is Dad fine?
Is Mom fine?
Who is finer?
When Mom was gone
For all three meals
We ate just rice
When Dad was gone
For all night
We dreamt of goblins
Mom
Dad
Let's all live together
With the sun
And the moon
Like a house in the sky
You're back, Zhenchen?
Your dad is in his room.
Go see him.
Got a cigarette?
Keep them, Dad.
Back off!
Damn bastard!
You know?
If you act up and don't work,
it's your loss.
How long have you been here?
Two years.
Got a kid?
No.
Then don't work too hard.
What's the use?
I'm saving up to go to South Korea.
South Korea?
Take your time.
Go on. Eat.
I'm not hungry.
How old is your kid?
Tell me.
No need to know, boss.
This month's pay.
This is it?
It's less than last time.
It's because you won't work hard.
It's not my fault.
I need 500 more.
Wanna do extra work?
Zhenchen?
What are you doing?
Are you ready to present?
Pardon?
Your report is due today.
Well...
I'm not ready, sir.
Where were you the last few days?
Are you dating?
Focus! Can you do it next week?
Yes.
Good.
Jing-hao?
You're not dating, right?
Quiet!
Are you ready?
Yes, sir.
Come on up.
You came a long way.
What brings you here?
I know she's here.
Who?
Where is she?
She walked out on you.
Why are you here?
You wanna see her?
I must meet her.
Back then...
I know who reported me to the cops.
Isn't selling kids wrong?
Weren't you desperate for a wife?
Crazy?
We should help each other to survive out here.
I make money. She has a son.
It's all good.
What can I do?
Folks keep coming out from North Korea.
They gotta find ways to live.
I'm here because there's a need for them.
So?
Am I wrong?
Sit down. Don't stand there.
Did you eat?
Bring two bowls of soup here.
Enjoy your meal.
Why are you here?
I got your money.
You came here just to say that?
Let's go back.
I'm not going.
Zhenchen misses his mom.
I said you left to make money.
Please come home.
Just go back.
I know what that was!
It's dope, isn't it?
Don't do things like that.
Don't say that.
You're living off my money.
Don't come here again.
Eat before you go.
What did you do?
I'm going to the bathroom.
Wait here.
Getting on?
One moment, please.
Zhenchen? Go to bed.
I got an early morning class.
Stop reading at nights.
After Mom killed him,
she ran away to Korea.
She met a man there
and started a new life.
Why is it so messy here?
Why is the light still broken?
I told you to fix it.
You talk like a South Korean now.
You've changed.
Zhenchen grew a lot, huh?
I'm sorry.
What?
I'm so sorry.
If I saw Zhenchen again,
I thought I'd hate him.
In middle school,
Zhenchen didn't come home one day.
We were so worried.
Then 3 days later,
he came back home.
For a while,
he just stayed in his room.
He didn't go to school.
He didn't say a word for days.
I found out later
that he went by himself to find you.
Are you happy with him?
Why ask that?
Just curious.
If you've met someone nice,
then I'd be happy.
When I die,
you're all that Zhenchen has left.
A year passed since I met Mom in Korea after 14 years.
I hate my life.
I shouldn't have gone to her.
Was Dad happy?
What?
Was Dad ever happy?
Your dad left this for you.
Dear Zhenchen.
There's so much I want to say to you,
but I guess heaven made us part like this.
This bank account is yours.
It's the money your mom sent for 14 years.
Don't resent your mom.
Listen to me carefully.
You wanna make money here?
Don't think anything else and just do as I say.
You'll be better off than the other girls.
Listen to me.
They work like hell to send money to their families in North Korea.
When a man takes you home later,
live with him for a few months then sneak out.
I'll handle the rest.
It's simple.
It'll help pay off your debt.
Just keep working hard.
Make your choice.
Don't be foolish!
Your baby is innocent.
It's not your fault.
Stupid bitch! You let yourself get knocked up?
Rotten whore! I said to wait a few months!
You should've been careful!
You still owe me!
You're not having another kid again!
I'll be back.
Don't resemble him.
That damn son a bitch...
Don't be like him.
Let's eat.
