A GOOD LAWYER'S WIFE
Yes?
Traffic's terrible on the highway
Yeah
Just wait for me
If not today I don't know when I'll see you
I can see it!
Where!
And they said they'd never murdered anyone!
Then how come these...
Oh, my poor father!
Get all of this on tape!
Oh, my poor father!
Careful! Taekshik
Slowly, slowly...
Slowly...
Counselor Joo! Look at this!
Now what!
Don't touch anything
until I'm back with a legal permit!
Everyone leave the premises!
Don't fucking order me around!
You leave, you fuckers!
- Please cooperate, sir! - Go fuck yourself, asshole!
I'm not leaving!
Let's go, Taekshik We can get a permit tomorrow
If you lay a finger on my dad's remains...
- Leave! - Let go!
You fucking hit me!
It was nothing like that Please leave, sir!
Right, we were just enforcing the law
The law?
Then this shouldn't be a big deal
I, Taekshik...
the loser who left his dad in that hellhole for 50 yrs
is just grabbing the neck of the law, not yours!
Okay, now let go
Are you all right, Counselor Joo?
You shouldn't have let go
Get out of the way!
The lady fell down!
- Are you okay? - Don't step on them!
Here!
- Thanks - This one too
I got the most
I want this one
- This one's mine - No, it's hers!
You can't have them Bring them to me
How can you be an hour late!
Take me to the subway station
Join us for dinner
I'm busy. You think I'm some babysitter?
- Of course not... - Mom!
Okay...
Does grandma know?
About what?
That I'm adopted
What do you think?
She knows, right?
Of course. Why? Embarrassed?
Don't be so serious. No one cares
Just keep your head up!
Son!
Be proud, okay?
Still, it bothers me
Can I come out?
Wait!
What did you do all day?
The laundry, rented a movie...
5 min. Late and you would have missed me
What kind of movie?
An erotic one
I masturbated
Twice
Thinking of you, Youngjak
You poor thing...
What?
I can't wear panties with this
Wonderful!
Hey!
Stop squeezing it!
You call that squeezing?
Stop it!
I guess they were men around my age
They were rounded into that pit and pelted with bullets...
Author Hwang Seokyoung wrote that
the victims were dragged around by wires pierced through their noses
Who could live with that memory?
The offenders and the survivors, both. How could they be normal?
They should have all gone mad
Hey, raise your ass a bit
Like this?
That's great...
No need
to feel embarrassed,
sorry or guilty
You're past that age
That's not what life's about
Yeah, I agree
Right! If your body wants it,
give it what it wants, right?
Stop projecting yourself onto me!
What's up? You never shower at this hour
I fell into a grave of skeletons
Skeletons!
I'm not kidding!
Hey
Give yourself a break, it's Sunday for gods sake!
Son! Let's have a kiss!
Just this once
Hey... Watch me, Sooin... And flick it...
Right!
It seems dad's getting worse
They say he has to stop rehab and admit himself immediately
Yeah, your mom told me
So?
Can't you go get him?
Hey,
take care of your own dad!
Come on...
What kind of daughter-in-law are you?
A great one!
Let's go to sleep
Get out of the way!
You have a visitor
- You've come? - Yes
Has grandma been
nice to Sooin lately?
Of course
They're having a great time together
How's Youngjak?
Still drinking a lot?
No, he's too busy
How about
grabbing a mug of ice cold draft beer...
Sounds good, dad
Wonderful!
Thank you
I'll indulge myself since this'll be my last drink
Okay
Drink up!
Okay
Skeletons were popping up When the police took over
How many bodies were there?
It was such a mess that
you could only count the body parts
Counselor Joo, you may be
my senior, but I'm the judge!
Please address me with respect!
My apologies, Judge Hwang!
What brings you here?
- My feet - Excuse me?
I'd like to take dance lessons
He wants to take dance lessons!
That's okay. Goodbye
What an idiot
So,
what did you say?
Other moms gave birth with tummy aches
but my mom had a heartache
So I'm definitely her son, I said
And what did they say?
I didn't stay to listen
Oh bother!
Mom, I'm all grown up, so stop treating me like a kid
Okay
Was I bad?
Get off, you're heavy
Give me a break!
This is strange...
My G-Spot seems to be gone
You can't get aroused?
Do people lose it?
Well, your body, it changes
I've heard of a change of heart,
but a change of body, that's news to me
Aw, shit!
Didn't I tell you!
Don't interfere with my life!
Please proceed
The other party's attorney hasn't arrived, your honor
Bailiff!
Fix the lights
We'll have a 30 min. Recess
Aren't you going to school?
No, I'm not going!
- Replace the window pane - Yes sir
The same ticket please!
Excuse me?
The guy who just got a ticket I want the same one
You're old enough for this movie,
but I can't play it only for you Watch something else
It'll be free. Come back for this one later, okay?
You're the only audience!
Even for one person, shouldn't you be playing the movie?
Come on kid, do as I say!
It starts now, right?
Listen,
my period's late
How late?
Yeah
Not now
Tomorrow!
I'm not home. I'll be late
Are you usually on schedule?
Not really, but it's quite late this time
Get one of those pregnancy tests... It'll put your mind to rest
We were careful, weren't we?
Yeah but before you put on a condom,
you can drip
But you don't get pregnant so easily...
Fucking asshole...!
What? Who is it?
You don't need to know
Shit...
Stay put!
I just want to see who it is!
Hey!
Who is he?
No one
Could he be the locksmith?
Enjoyed the movie?
Uh, yes...
We know each other, right?
Do we?
We live next to each other!
Yeah we do...
When this used to be the last bus stop, the poor,
when they craved for something greasy,
they came here for a quick drink and a standing barbecue
There used to be chairs,
but the drunks became too rowdy,
repeating themselves over and over again...
The owner hated it you know,
and got rid of all the chairs
Do you know the owner?
No...
Need a bowl of rice?
They serve rice here?
I can go get some instant rice...
Don't bother
She grabbed my thing
and began rubbing it against her
Slowly... then faster
And even faster...
That's enough Always full of shit!
She moaned as if she was about to come,
then fell forward,
plunging my dick into her
But we men never give in so easily
I then slid down
to do her with my mouth
until she begged and cried...
Hey!
Crying and begging me to fuck her
Then people on the upper floor started banging
Shouting that they had to get some sleep
Is this the first time you've heard this story? I'm so sick of it
What? Is it because your father's dying?
Not really
What an asshole!
So,
you're the girl in this story, right?
Don't tell anyone
I have enough problems with guys hitting on me
The God of Small Things
Go sleep in the other room!
Hojung... sorry...
I'm so drunk...
Sorry...
Stop chatting and work on your warm-ups!
We don't have all day!
Hey!
We need a hand over here!
But it accentuates your butt!
Nurse Jung, please come to the New-born baby room!
Water
Did I say anything stupid?
Yeah, in English
English?
Try it, it's good
Are you really okay?
What do you think?
Let's eat
There's nothing more to say!
Cutting the liquor won't cure you, but...
you should be thankful that you're not in pain!
Keep drinking like that
and you'll make things worse!
You should respect your body!
How much do I have left?
About a month
Can I go now?
You're unbelievable!
Listen to me
Consider it recuperation and admit yourself
You're sick!
Voting that Texas hick Bush for President...
That's why Americans are so fucked up!
Be gentle and thorough as you're cleaning me up!
Do it yourself, you seem perky enough!
Anyway, why don't you go visit grandpa when I'm gone
It's been a while since I last talked to him. About 2 yrs...
His phone's cut off
You don't have to go now
Visit him when I'm gone
Why don't you answer him!
Yes sir!
Let me have a puff
Here, puff away and die...!
Don't you have any thicker cigarettes?
121
122
123
Hello?
Okay...
What did he say?
He's at the office, working late...
He doesn't seem to be lying
What?
Who asked that!
I said you didn't have to come!
Did you find it?
Okay
- Thank you - Yes
- See you tomorrow - Yes...
When you're single, you think marriage
will guarantee unlimited sex But when you're married...
You quickly realize that it's not like that
You're not a woman anymore
You're really nothing
To be honest,
I'm having less sex since I've been married
Right... when you're single,
married men, singles, virgins...
Right,
and engaged men,
it's your pick
Dad's attending a seminar
- Seminar? - Yeah, a seminar
Hey!
Why are there two?
One's dad's
Really?
Then why haven't you gone there lately?
I'm going today
Alone?
It's none of your business!
Younger guys have slim wallets They couldn't afford
a present like this camera
Yet older married men are so immature
But I guess my dad was like that...
Men are all babies
I agree
You're burdened by this trip with me, aren't you?
- I agree... - I agree!
You know,
you pretend you're so cool but you never open up
Have all the sex you want, you still feel lonely, right?
Don't agree? Huh?
In India, they mash hemp and drink it like milkshake
I ended up having sex all day after trying it
The first penetration felt like
a big thigh entering me
That's what you need
Guilt-free, mindless sex
Counselor Joo
I agree!
You'll be home before I wake up in the morning, right?
Of course
You won't get any sleep, mom
Son...
You sleep for an eternity when you die
Skipping a day isn't the end of the world
Good night
Sleep!
- Spit on me! - What?
On my face... spit!
Taste good?
You wanna try?
Yuck!
I'm quitting school this month
I see
I'm moving to America in the winter. For good
I see
You see?
Until then,
how about having an affair with me?
Stop kidding around
Admit that you want it too
We should rest somewhere, young man
We'll find a place over there, ma'am
Shut off the lights
Lie still in the dark, it'll calm you
Let's go
All the books were set on fire
So, he set out alone to seek a village with books
But there were no books in the village
Instead, the villagers became the books
One was Machiavelli's "The Prince"
Another, Beckett's "Waiting for Godot"
Twins who were "Pride and Prejudice" part I and II
The protagonist memorized an entire volume
and became the book itself
He would recite the book if someone wanted to read it
In the last scene,
an old man on his deathbed with a little boy by his side
The old man recites a line from "Crime and Punishment",
and the little boy repeats after him
Upon finishing a line, another one would follow
The old man bequeathed his book to the little boy
Heavy snow is falling
as the little boy is reciting the entire book
The old man lies dead next to him
Am I boring you?
No, it's fascinating
Little punk
Hurry up, hurry!
Stop. You're a pain till the end!
Don't worry. You're not dying yet
Damn, don't you see it hurts!
This'll hurt a bit
- Youngjak will be a bit late - Okay
Are you nervous?
I'm driving
So?
Need a blowjob?
Stop fooling around
You think I'm fooling around?
Ouch! My pubic hair, hair!
The deadline's this month, okay?
Give me a break! Impossible!
I'm not kidding, you know!
- Do you know Gwangguk? - Who?
Ignore him, he's a loser!
Gwangguk!
5th place in the Korean Jr boxing Welterweight!
I don't even fucking care who the champion is!
- Hey! Get rid of him - Okay
He's my brother-in-law, assholes!
Drink up
- My Gwang...! - Go home asshole
Stop, you hopeless drunk! Get out!
If I tell Gwangguk, you're all dead meat
Assholes...
I'll never deliver your mail!
Go home, asshole
You idiots don't even know Gwangguk
My Gwangguk is...
5th place in the Korean Jr. Boxing Welterweight, 5th
Fucking idiots
Go fuck yourself, asshole!
Look!
Are you all right?
Oh no
I'm fucking bleeding!
Oh my god!
Can you push that back?
Hey!
Wake up!
Jesus, he's dying
- Hey! Get out! - What?
Take a cab home!
Is it to check his intoxication level?
Yes, he asked for a blood sample
Asshole! I knew this would happen to him
How could the moron do this to me!
Ma'am, he's not going to die!
I wish he would go to hell!
Die!
So, between the motorcycle and the car, no collision?
No sir
Not even a slight graze?
How come
that drunk's always getting into trouble?
He says life's just an empty void!
He must think he's a philosopher
He's too young to be feeling empty!
You may go now You're a solid citizen
Okay
Uh...
Don't take this wrong
It's cold... Here's something for the staff...
Counselor, this is way out of line!
Don't worry. It's all taken care of
I took care of the ascitic fluid,
but his liver's not functioning
He'll definitely have a rupture in the esophageal varix
I'll take care of it
Hojung!
Look at this
I must really be dying this time
If I die,
I want it to be a small family funeral
And forget the annual memorial
That's for the living to worry about...
Mother!
Such an impossible man...
Jesus, you made a bloody mess here
Lie down sir, lie down
Damn!
One Transamine IV!
I'll live and die as I wish
So, you enjoy the rest of your life
Clean yourself up, okay?
Tissue please
When the liver dies, unfiltered blood runs through your body
The brain fails and you fall into a hepatic coma
You become a totally different person
The language becomes really vulgar, nothing but filth...
And you become incredibly strong...
Mt. Jangbaek
The bloody stains
running through the Yalu river
The bloody stains
Upon the bouquets of the liberated Chosun,
Shines the holy stain
Thy name we yearn for, General Kim Ilsung
The bloody stains slicing through
the snowy winds of the Manchurian plains
Don't you even suggest I should move in with you
From now on, I'm planning to live free as a butterfly
Do as you wish
And,
don't even think of touching the funeral contributions
Don't worry mother
All my life, I've been so unfair to myself
I've been so stupid...
Choose! Everything goes except for this
Doesn't grandpa have any siblings?
Why has my life become such a mess?
At first, I blamed it all on your father
Damn...
Well, enough about that loser
So what?
Whoever's fault it is, my life's still a mess...
I...
finally feel like a grown up these days
Someone who can take charge of her life...
I'm seeing someone
What?
Yeah, and I might marry him
Who, you mom?
I'm finally having sex
The first time in 15 years
Oh my god!
You may not want to hear this, but I don't care
I'm finally getting an orgasm
To feel it at this age, it's hard to understand, right?
Listen
Life's about being truthful to yourself. Truthful...
Honest as you can be!
Nothing matters if you forget this
Even if you had a day to live This is definitive!
Definitely!
No one would believe I just buried my husband
A woman enters the world with a firm chest and leaves with
a flabby one,
but I'm really happy
Extremely happy
Your mom's great. Really endearing...
Thanks, for everything
Is that so?
You really moved me this time Really!
So,
stop thinking of other things
and do a better job with your life
And what about now?
You, whose beloved were buried
in the cold ground
And them, who committed the crime,
whether mistaken or crazed, that led to these deaths
Those who are still
haunted by guilt
How can you live like that?
You anticipated pressure from the government and the right wing
You need to be strong!
If we cannot solve this problem,
you're disowning everything
we have worked so hard for
You fear that
one wrong move will trap us in eternal guilt
and never release our beloved ones' souls
from this world
This is not the path we should take
It is time for change!
It is time for recovering our pride as human beings!
Did I come on too strong?
Stop pushing too hard!
You think I like doing this?
Lecturing like a fucking school principal!
Think of it as a process
I'm going!
Join us for a meal!
What an asshole!
I can never figure him out
Please don't sleep with the editor
Don't sleep with him
It's only us here
If you already have,
then don't anymore
If you need someone,
then do it with me
I'm pretty good in bed!
You are?
Who did you fuck lately?
The girlfriend you just broke up with?
Don't talk about her!
It's a waste of time!
You still love her, don't you?
Sungyeon...
Sungyeon, Sungyeon...
You don't understand
That's it! Right there!
Go ahead and do the fucking!
I see. I asked the doctor to take the patient's blood sample
When will he be back?
I see, I'll call again. Yes
The doctor's on vacation
I'll make sure he gets rid of the blood
Don't worry
That blood sample, the accident, the drunken driving...
I'll get fired if this all comes out...
No hospital payments, insurance, pension, nothing!
The lawyer understands everything
We should get going He must be busy...
Yes, I am a bit busy
Don't worry
Soojung!
Take your time with your refreshments
Good day, sir
Stop stuffing yourself!
So, did you see the clitoris?
Do you know where it is?
No
But you said you did it before,
didn't you?
Well,
it was dark each time
You're so funny
Let's take a look, so I can learn
Can I help you?
- What are you doing here? - Shit!
- What were you doing? - Let's go
You little...
- And you... - I said, let's go!
You live right next door,
How can you do this to a kid?
What're you doing?
What is wrong with you?
Come on, let's go...
I'm in so much shit!
Thank you
This is a special request for Mrs. Hong Byunghan
I bribed him
- Who? - Joo Hyungsun
- Who're you? - His grandson
- His grandson? - Yes!
I don't know what's going on,
but talk to his young wife
Mom, it's me. You're not home?
What's it to you!
Where are you?
It's none of your business!
I stopped by grandpa's farm
So?
Grandpa's been dead for 6 months
So what?
I'm just telling you
You Joo family men are unbelievable!
OK, I'm hanging up!
- Mom - Yeah?
It was better when I didn't know I was adopted
Why did you tell me?
Because...
It's the truth
It's unfair to keep it from you
Yeah, but whenever people tease me,
I think of you
Can I have a bite?
Isn't daddy home yet?
Sleep
Hurry up. Let's go!
- Excited? - I feel great!
But weren't you crying alone?
You're embarrassed to admit it, right?
Why should I be?
I'm feeling great! Let's go!
Is it heavy?
I was such a bitch when you came home with Sooin
To you and Sooin...
Forgive me
Stop drinking
You should live your life with a clear mind
Don't be like your father
That was a beautiful farewell
You asked if grandpa had any siblings, right?
I did?
Grandpa had six sisters
During the war, his mother and sisters stayed in N. Korea
while he escaped to the South with his father...
His mother and sisters all perished
Everyone? Why?
A war was going on
So grandpa was the sole survivor?
Yeah, grandpa and his father, only the two
Surprised, weren't you?
I was!
We're always like that!
Hey!
Don't be... okay?
Okay
I might go to France a bit earlier. It's all for the best
Didn't you say America?
Anyway, I'm going to live with my mom
Play 'As Time Goes By'
Here's looking at you, kid
Play it, Sam
Beep
Casablanca...
Correct!
I... I have to go...
The old fart's waiting outside
So you're saying my wife's fooling around with your son?
Well, frankly speaking, yes
What grade is he in?
A high school sophomore
Although he quit school
How did you find out?
I hired a detective
I really spent a lot!
I understand
how you feel!
It could be
that my son is the bad guy here, right?
To seduce another man's wife...
- Soojung! - Sir!
I got the picture, so leave!
Look here
You're not in a position to be cocky
- Shut up and leave! - Leave please!
Tighten you stomach, tighten it
See you!
Bye!
- Little boy! - Yes?
Do you know the attorney, Joo Youngjak?
Yes, he's my dad
Pyungchang-dong 545-1?
Yes
The house around the corner?
Yes
Okay, thanks
Hey!
Come over here!
I'll give you a ride
Tell me where your place is, okay?
Okay
Mister, are you drunk?
Do you know Gwangguk?
Gwangguk?
Damages have been paid,
and the victim refuses to press charges
This will never happen again I ask for your leniency, your honor
But I see this is her 4th misdemeanor?
The defendant wasn't aware it was a symptom of PMS
Knowing now. She is willingly seeking psychiatric treatment
Are there any family problems?
Her husband's an accountant
She has a normal middle-class life
And her husband is quite supportive
of her need for treatment
I will set the sentence date for January 13th
Next case
Case no. 752, your honor
That day,
I'm sure I hit the car!
That girl in the car...
She knows! Fucking asshole...
What kind of lawyer is full of such big fat lies?
The ones who have it all are always the worst!
That promise...
another fucking lie!
I make only $600 a month!
Selfish fuckers
Okay! You fuckers are the high road, and I'm the low road,
let's see how far we can go!
Mister, you're not going to throw me, right?
You don't know shit about Gwangguk!
The Korean Jr. Boxing Welterweight
5th place, 5th!
Mom! Mom, what am I supposed to do now!
So you forgot all about the postman, right?
Hello?
Yes, yes
They found... the postman On a building roof,
they found suicide notes and his shoes
neatly placed next to each other
The fucking nutcase!
Hurry and ID the body!
Case closed
You won't be bothered anymore
Excuse me...
Counselor! I am so sorry
I am so sorry...
Forgive me. I am so so sorry...
I am so sorry...
Mommy's...
Mommy's so sorry...
Son!
Mommy's so sorry...
I am so so sorry...
Mommy's so sorry...
So sorry, son...
I am so sorry...
Yeah, listen to me
My dad, when he was dying...
Blood was spurting out of his mouth,
and the doctors and nurses were running around
I was watching the commotion from a distance
Suddenly, I saw myself pulling up a nurse's skirt
And then I began to violently fuck her
I've been having the same fantasy since then
No,
Right now,
I feel the need to explode It's killing me!
In you,
inside of you
Listen,
I have to do it today
No?
I'll call you back
I have to do it with you today
It's a good thing you have someone
to pour your guts out to
Hey,
Is it a problem that I am seeing someone else?
Not at all
So go meet her all you want
Meet away and release yourself
Look,
yesterday, some old fuck came to my office
and begged me to keep his son from fucking you
Joo Youngjak!
How dare you talk to me like that!
Then what would you do
if someone told you to keep your wife from
seducing a teenager?
Want me to tell you?
Just don't give a fuck
And then try to straighten your own life out
How righteous you are
So righteous!
What makes you so high and mighty, bitch!
Stop it!
Just can't drop the almighty act, can you?
You're drunk
We should talk later
You...
You can't forgive me for Sooin's death, can you?
Go to bed!
Tell me, bitch! What did I do so wrong?
- Tell me... huh? - Let go of me
Why should I take all the blame for Sooin's death, why?
- Tell me... - Let go of me!
You think you're the only one who's devastated!
My heart is broken too, bitch, okay!
Are you hurt?
I'm on my way!
No, we have to meet now!
Who? A friend?
Forget her!
I'll wait in front of your place!
Whatever, I'm going anyway!
Are you going or not?
Shut up and drive!
It's me. Can you see me?
Where's the condom?
May I help you, sir?
Stop fooling around and go inside!
Go
Sir,
you should know better!
I envy your energy!
Go home
I guess I'm a bit drunk. Sorry
Go inside, really... I must've lost my mind
Sorry!
Joo Youngjak?
Will you be okay?
About what?
Hey! Mister!
You left your stuff in the car!
Crazy fuck!
Hey!
- Take your time - Okay
Where can the H-O-L-E be?
Don't stick it in yet, okay?
Just rub it outside
Sorry. I'm sorry...
Shit. I'm really sorry for that
Don't worry
I'll make it hard again
Really?
I'm sticking it in!
Well...
Sometimes I think I've done something really crazy
Sometimes I wish I could take it all back
But most of the time,
I'm fine with it
I feel great
Stop thinking too much and be confident! Okay?
The baby seems healthy
Counselor Joo!
Wake up! You have a trial at 10 am
See you at the office
- Hello! - Hello!
- How are you? - How have you been
Counselor Joo! What brings you here?
I was just passing by
Passing by? This place isn't right around the corner!
- I'll treat to you to a drink - Come on
I rented a place with a small practice space
So you're pregnant?
They say it's a miracle
I'll do my best
About what?
I'll do my best
This baby...
Isn't yours
I never once thought
Sooin wasn't mine...
I'll do my best
You...
Are out of the picture
You're not in it, anymore...
