Father is so quiet.
Bang Eun-jin
When he doesn't have any money,
he can't think of anything to do.
If I die, I'll never hear about it, damn it.
Why don't you go into town today?
Kim Il-woo, Joo Jin-mo, Park Jae-hwang
Is anything wrong?
No.
If there is anything in particular you want to eat, please let me know.
Don't bother.
Here.
You don't have to do that.
I've got money.
Take it.
What would you like to eat?
I'll pick it up for you.
I don't want anything.
Thanks.

Don't hang around the coffee shop all day long.
You've got to fix the pedal.
Farewell My Darling
-Good, right? -Yes.
-Let's try once more. -Let's begin and move out the way.
I'll go after I test it one more time.
Do we need the slate?
-Pardon? -Do we need the slate?
No, let's just do a run-through.
All right!
Standby!
Ready...
-Can you put it more effort? -Cue, cue!
You can feel the rhythm. You can touch it.
-Call from home. -Okay.
-Rhythm is about... -Hello?
People are supposed to move to the rhythm.
When?
Is that true?
That's what I believe.
What time?
What's going on?
Is it time to die now?
If I die here, it'll be really bad for my kids.
You bastards!
I must go home.
Take me home!
Look over there.
A man's soul is getting out of his house!
What?
Oh my, it must be Mr. Park's soul!
-Really? -Let's go there.
How much?
Are you out of your mind?
Good morning.
You're not the only son.
They know you don't make enough money as a director.
Coffee, please.
Mr. Kim, one coffee.
Why would I take a plane that's going to crash?
Just worry about yourself, not me.
Bye.
What's the matter?
Dad died.
Where are you going?
Back to Korea.
Hello?
Why do you keep calling?
It'll just take a week.
I don't want you to have to make this long trip just to go to a funeral.
Don't say anything at the studio,
just rearrange the schedule, okay?
I've just driven past Chupungnyeong.
I'm okay. I'll relax and listen to some music.
Hang up.
Day One Yim-jong, Su-si, Ko-bok
Brother! Oh, no!
I won't believe it until I see it myself.
Alas, alas, my brother.
Brace yourself.
I'll have a board for the dead ready.
Call her in Busan.
Even if she's no good, she's still his daughter.
If there is anyone who has to know his death,
let him know it as soon as possible.
We have to accept his death.
All right.
We have to understand that he's never coming back.
Let's do welcome the people from the other world.
Stop crying
and put some water on for the rice.
Hurry up.
-How could this happen? -Hurry up.
I don't believe it.
How could you die so soon?
My brother.
I won't believe it until I see him myself.
Just wait a little.
You can't go like this.
Just wait a little bit.
My brother...
Please open your eyes.
Please open your eyes.
I'm here.
Alas, my brother.
Alas, alas, my brother.
Who the hell is this?
Me?
I'm the man she lives with.
That's enough, you bastard.
What?
Chan-suk's brother?
What's with you?
Brother?
What's up?
Did Dad change his mind?
What did you say?
Who passed away?
He passed away?
I can't go.
I won't go.
You silly girl, why can't you go?
Why won't you go?
Who knows, maybe your father left you some money.
I am the chief mourner.
Father's soul has left his body,
but I'm still alive.
Now I just have to make it through the funeral.
In my mind, the camera rolls.
I shoot the living and the dead.
And once more.
Ready, camera.
Scene 17-4-1, cue!
Deokchon-ri, Gahoe-myeon, Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Republic of Korea.
Park Man-dol is returning to the other world.
Bring a folding screen.
-Tell them to bring the folding screen! -Here.
Testing.
Is it on?
Pull hard over there!
I have an announcement to make.
One of the most respected citizens of our village,
a Young-san man,
has just passed away..
Why is the food late?
-I'll repeat one more time. -I'm going now.
Please pull hard over there.
He was the most respected in our village.
This is a great loss.
We mourn his death.
With our beautiful customs,
we'll grieve for his death.
This brings us great sadness.
I ask for your help so the family can get through the funeral more easily.
This is a great loss...
Be careful
and don't mess up.
-I got it. -Okay.
To mourn the deceased...
Hey, look here.
There's no straw sandals or steamed rice.
-Get them over here! -Okay.
-What's wrong? -Hey!
You know there are three people from the other world here.
Yeah, sure.
Then why isn't there any rice and sandals?
I'm sure I put them out.
You mean they're gone?
Did the people from the other world take them?
-Get them out here now, you idiot! -I'm on it.
Quick!
What a shame to the family!
Day Two Bal-sang, Jeon, Bu-Go
Since I'm in charge of the funeral,
I'd like you to cooperate.
Prepare your hearts and get ready to work!
Modern ideas are all well and good,
but you'll make fools of yourselves
if you don't respect tradition.
You're right.
From now on, you have to obey.
-Yes, understood. -Okay.
First of all,
you're supposed to be the chief mourner.
But since you've lived in the city for so long,
you might not know how things go here.
I think your brother should do it.
He should be the chief mourner.
Right, absolutely right.
And there are a lot of things to take care of.
We really have a lot to do.
What's this all about?
How ridiculous!
Man-dol, Man-dol!
You're a bastard, Man-dol!
You were so young.
How could young man like yourself die before I do?
Get up! Now!
Calm down.
Bring water quickly!
Here it is.
-Over here! -Pour it over there...
Be careful of your hand.
-Slowly. -Slowly.
Take your time.
Give some meat and a glass of alcohol.
Give me a glass, too.
The fish is so fresh.
You're so vulgar.
Don't go overboard.
The vegetables are...
I'm sorry.
Oh, did you see it at Mr. Kim's yesterday?
Yes, I did.
Oh my, his shows are so fun...
Here's the portrait.
Here is the portrait of the deceased.
The portrait of the deceased is here.
You're early.
Enough.
Where should I put this?
-Put more fire over there. -Okay.
-Go that way. -Come this way.
Thank you for taking so much trouble.
Please help yourself.
Has the sister-in-law arrived?
Not yet.
What about the rice cakes?
-Pardon? -The rice cakes.
Nine liters of rice will be enough.
We need to make Kimchi.
Do it however you want.
Why are you always in the way?
Oh, you little trouble-maker!
He had such a great time when he was alive.
What else could he want?
I heard he went to the karaoke bar
with a girl who works at the coffee shop.
Stop that kind of talk.
Oh, how could this happen?
Hey!
We haven't gone into mourning yet.
It's not time to bow.
We have certain procedures to follow.
We need manners!
Okay, got it.
Goodness, young people...
Here comes the aunt from Daejeon.
My poor brother! No!
My brother! This can't be!
-No, No. -Hey, Malja...
Say something please.
You were widowed at an early age.
Life must have been hard on you.
Hey!
My poor brother!
-My brother... -Just look.
Pull yourself together.
Save your tears for later.
-Okay, Malja. -Hey...
Calm down.
Oh my...
What do we do...
Oh my goodness.
With her here from Daejeon, this really sounds like a house of mourning.
Now this looks like a house in mourning.
You should never stop crying in a house where someone has just died.
There are plenty of people here to cry.
Where is everybody?
Hey, bring the tree!
Bring a crisp and straight one.
You're finally here.
Have you been busy?
Come on in.
All right.
He has no shame.
He's living openly with this young woman.
But he does know how to make money.
What does he do?
He runs a fabric shop.
I should have married a man who runs a fabric shop, too.
-Yes. -You're right.
How did it happen?
-Brother! -You can't come in here with your hat on.
Look, it's me, your brother Pal-bong.
Everybody hates me since I'm just a half-brother.
But you took care of me...
But you took care of me like a real brother.
Let me bow to you.
Hey, we haven't even washed the body yet.
You don't know how it goes, do you?
It's not time to bow yet.
Why not?
Who's this?
I don't care about the proper etiquette.
Are you out of your mind?
Who cares about etiquette?
I just want to bow to my brother.
Let me do it own my way.
-Brother! -Okay, do whatever you want.
Hey!
Hey!
When did you get here?
Hey, stop crying.
Brother.
Oh, hi.
Yes, I'm here...
Have a seat. You too.
Have a seat, too.
You must have had a long trip.
What was the title of your last movie?
Love... something.
The Love of the Decade?
Right. "The Love of the Decade."
Hey, Uncle!
Hey, Uncle... -Do you need anything else?
This insurance is fit for your age.
This is for preparing after your retirement.
It is really cool.
And...
Would you like to appeal?
Let me know if you need any money.
Bo-hwa, put your hand like this.
Okay.
Hey! -Smile.
I need to talk to you.
Can we talk later?
How about us?
Okay, come here.
Look at the camera.
One, two, three!
Look at the camera.
One, two, three!
Hey, how does your mom?
Like a model.
-Do I? -Sure.
Let's go.
Let's bow.
You don't have to.
A silent tribute is fine.
What that picture?
It looks awful.
There must have been other pictures taken the last time he went to Seoul.
Who's she?
The oldest daughter-in-law.
She is?
You can't mourn him or you won't?
Sincerity is more important than formality.
What's she saying?
Sincerity!
Sincerity?
Alcohol always tastes best at a funeral.
Alcohol always tastes best at a funeral!
Could I have a cup of soju?
Could I have a cup of soju?
Since you seem to be having a hard time,
I'll buy an insurance policy from you.
What kinds do you have?
Your daughter must be the apple of your eye.
Of course.
She's so cute.
There's education insurance for your daughter.
Life insurance for yourself or love insurance for a married couple.
-"Love insurance?" -Yes.
I can underwrite a large policy for you.
Okay, I'm fine with 10 million won or even 50 million won.
Anything will be all right with me.
-Thank you. -No problem.
-Have another drink. -Thank you.
Stop. You've had enough.
What's wrong?
I have to drink on a day like this.
That's right.
Have it your way.
Go ahead and drink.
Where are you going?
Hey!
Since I'm the first daughter-in-law,
I always feel bad when I can't help.
I'm still living with your son,
but you understand.
Otherwise, I might have left him.
You know what's going on more than anyone else.
You remember how it was when he went to Seoul the first time.
He had nothing...
I know.
Mom!
What's wrong?
I hate the toilets in the countryside!
You really don't have a choice.
What goes around comes around. You take something under the table...
Well, there's one guy who can't get out of the mess he's in.
What else could I want?
If I can rake in a billion won, what could I want?
Just a billion? You can go higher than that.
Don't say that.
You'll end up in jail.
A billion... A billion... A billion.
Bring another glass.
Hurry up and cut it.
All right.
Didn't his mother take him?
How can that brat show up here
when she ran off and abandoned her own son?
My sister-in-law was a very good woman
to look after that fatherless boy.
You're expecting a baby,
why don't you just take a rest?
I have to get supper for my father.
-You rest. -Why are you so late with his supper?
You know he gets angry when he's hungry.
It'll be ready in a minute.
And make sure the guests have enough to eat.
Put all of it out for them.
Don't worry. Everything is under control.
Be careful with the food.
It would be a shame if anyone were to get sick.
Don't worry about it.
There are three family members here,
so everything will be taken care of.
Let's go inside.
-I really appreciate this. -It's my pleasure.
Don't worry.
They didn't make the shower room yet.
But it wouldn't even be hard to put it in.
We don't have to shower every day like you do in the city.
We have clean air out here.
I know you have a hard time here.
You don't have to be so defensive.
Who is Mrs. Song from Seoul?
Who?
Mrs. Song.
Isn't that Mr. Park?
Mrs. Song. Isn't she here?
Hello, there's no one with that name here.
Wait.
Hello, Mr. Kim. It's me.
Don't you have a policy that finds a wife for an old bachelor?
What kind of woman would marry a man like you?
Sit down and have a glass.
That looks delicious.
What are you just looking at it for?
Don't you want to try it?
Where's my wife?
You mean you're looking for a wife?
No kidding!
Is she on the swing?
In a house of where someone has just died, he's looking for a wife.
-Hey! -What?
The soap opera is on now. Let's go.
We need to watch it!
Is it already time for the soap opera?
The kid is so discouraged because the mom is so cold-hearted...
There must be something wrong with that girl.
Who the hell wants to live with his mother today?
Please be quiet.
Please be quiet!
Can't you see that we are watching TV?
Let's watch the news. Switch the channel.
That's a good idea.
What's this?
Former Pres. Chun was indicted...
Put the responsibility on...
Funeral Announcement
Here, this is 70 thousand won in bank certificates. Count it.
This'll take more than a few days.
Let the people at the publishing house do that.
Who writes everything these days?
I don't care.
This is the way it has to be done.
-Do the best you can. -Yeah.
Nobody's going to come this late.
Have a drink and then get some sleep.
I'm all right.
We'll be busy tomorrow.
As soon as Chan-sae gets here in the morning,
We'll wash and dress the body and put it in the coffin.
I imagine a lot of people will come by.
A shroud should be cut big.
Yes.
When my father-in-law died,
I had so much trouble because the shroud was too small.
That will do.
Wasn't there a call for me?
I don't know.
When are we going home?
We just got here.
Well, what about the car?
Car?
I'll take care of the car.
Where have you been?
I went for a walk.
The incense gave me a headache.
I was looking for you.
Did you win some money?
I failed. I lost so badly.
You don't have any luck.
Don't drink too much coffee.
Day three Sup, Ban-ham, Yuen, Yip-Gwon, Sung-Sok-Je
We have a long way to go. Let's get started.
No.
Let's wait.
I got a call from my youngest son.
He just arrived from America. He's in town.
Let's wait a while.
Okay.
Here, have a cigarette.
He'll be here soon.
That might be bad luck for the funeral.
The water to clean the body is cold.
Heat it up.
Okay.
He's coming.
Give it to me.
He's here? Give it to me again.
The sooner the better.
May I wash the body?
-Is everyone here? -Yes.
Let's get started.
Why didn't your sister come from Busan?
Never mind.
But she is still your sister.
Mother.
Oh, Chan-sae.
-Mother! -Chan-sae!
Look who's here.
Where's your wife?
It must be a nice place to live over there.
You look good.
Hello there.
You must have had a long trip.
Not really.
Hey, stop all that crying.
Welcome home, Chan-sae.
You know who I am, right?
Why is there so much noise out here?
You can talk later.
First, we have to take care of the deceased.
Go inside and look at your father.
Yes.
Let's go inside.
Stop crying.
I was so surprised at all that shooting.
Nobody disagreed.
Stop crying.
Oh... my brother.
Stop!
You're bothering them.
Please wash him thoroughly.
He has a long way to go to get to the other world.
Don't you know that these days there's a bathroom in the other world?
That's right.
Don't talk nonsense.
He trimmed his nails too short.
He cut it too short.
Put the trimmings over there.
Be careful.
This is good.
Don't talk that way.
Be careful.
Be very careful.
Should I lift it higher?
Do you need help?
Yes, please.
-Please help. -Okay.
If you accept Jesus, your soul will...
-What are you doing? -Our Father, who art in Heaven...
I'll never understand how you could become a Christian.
What are you saying?
Nothing.
Put the clothes on properly.
Let's put on the socks.
Let's put them on.
We're through with the clothes.
Bring us a comb.
Here.
They bathed you and combed your hair.
You are so handsome.
Your father looks so handsome.
He really is a handsome man.
His good looks must have caused you a lot of trouble.
Hey, stop that.
One hundred rice bags.
One thousand rice bags.
Ten thousand rice bags.
Now he's rich.
Now for the glass bead.
What should I do with the money?
The glass bead's enough.
He can't take the money with him. It's too heavy.
Okay.
Come in and say your final goodbyes.
You're so lucky...
Your beloved second daughter-in-law
made a cloth for you, brother.
You'll have to get rich in that world
and then buy back the land you sold here.
Hey, what are you doing?
He has a long way to go.
Give him some money.
Take care of yourself.
Bye. Take care.
There isn't a place where I can cash a check.
Give him cash.
Really?
Goodbye.
Take care.
Here's the cash.
What did I do wrong?
How did I hurt you?
You should have told me.
How can you leave us like this?
What is this?
You haven't even seen your grandchild yet.
You can't leave us.
How can you leave your loved ones like this?
How...
could you...
Stop crying.
Did everyone have a chance to see him?
I said stop crying.
Stop. Stop.
Calm everyone down.
Let's put him in the coffin.
Stop crying.
Rest in peace.
You, rest in peace.
Otherwise, he might not make it
all the way to the other world.
Get it good and tight.
Be careful. Don't hurt him.
Shut up, if you don't know anything.
What?
Easy, easy.
Be careful.
Now you can do your lamentations.
The coffin is too narrow.
That's better than too wide.
What's that?
It's better this way.
Better?
Oh, I smell something burning.
Over here.
One, two, three!
Write something at the bottom of the picture.
Right, right.
Memorial Service
Now everybody goes into mourning.
What did you say?
I said, "Now we go into mourning."
Is the table ready?
-Yes, it's all taken care of. -Okay.
Why aren't you dress for the mourning?
This is mourning.
What?
She said she is wearing mourning clothes.
Never mind.
She's not the only one.
Look at the third son.
More and more people want their own way.
Calm down.
Let's get started.
What's this?
Anything wrong?
Look, you shouldn't put imported fruit
on the table for the dead.
Bananas are good for you.
He'll like them.
No imported fruit!
Never!
Well, they've already bought them,
so let's put them on the table.
-It's okay. -No.
You know about the fuss caused by the Uruguay Round of the GATT talks.
-What? -The Uruguay Round.
Uruguay? Is that good?
Bad.
Bad? Get rid of them.
I'll get rid of them.
Open it, so that his soul gets in.
Yes.
I may get in the habit of crying.
It's normal at a house in mourning.
You're right.
Help yourself, brother.
We are all guilty.
We wouldn't have to weep
if we had been good enough to him when he was alive.
Stop crying. Get ready to meet the visitors.
We don't have time for this.
You boys, bow and that's it.
Hey, why aren't you bowing?
He's a Christian.
What?
Christian.
Chris tea?
Here comes a National Assemblyman.
A National Assembly man is coming.
Who? A National Assemblyman?
Yes, a National Assemblyman.
Welcome here.
-How are you? -Please come in.
-Hello, you're here. -Please come inside.
You've gone through a lot of trouble.
Yes, I got it.
He's campaigning.
He used to just send his secretary with a flower,
but these days he's busy visiting people.
Democratic Party National Assemblyman
I know he's very busy during the campaign,
but he'll have time to consider an insurance policy, won't he?
I'll talk to him.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
And you know, there are many voters here.
Thank you very much.
New Korea Party National Assemblyman
Put it here.
What do you think you're doing?
What a coincidence!
Which of his campaign pledges did he keep?
None.
Who the hell do you think you are?
What the hell is going on?
You two leave now!
This is not a boxing ring.
People in this village don't give a damn about politicians.
Get out!
Ladies and gentleman, we want change. Now!
Ladies and gentlemen, don't support the opposition party.
They change from friends to enemies over night.
They can kill you.
What is this?
I'm sorry.
This is all crap!
-I'm sorry. -Get out of here!
-Get out! -I'm sorry.
Here comes Mr. Lee from Daegu.
Who is he?
Dad helped him out when he was in trouble.
He has a business in Daegu.
Is he rich?
That's what I heard. Alas, alas.
Hello. Hello?
I know you have suffered a great loss.
Thank you.
We're having a funeral.
What's up?
Sons of the deceased, come over here, please.
What kind of a chief mourner is that?
You don't have any idea how to behave.
What? "Thank you?"
This is my first funeral, sir.
Do you have another father?
You have to learn.
Here, I brought the note.
Repeat this.
"""With my faults, """
I have brought this on my father."
"""With my faults, """
"I have brought this on my father."
"You came a long way to offer your condolences and to console us."
"You came a long way to offer your condolences and to console us."
"Even in our deep sorrow, we appreciate the effort you've made."
"Even in our deep sorrow, we appreciate the effort you've made."
-It is a bit long, isn't it? -Yes, it is.
Well, just say,
I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble.
That's much better.
Now, let's do it again.
I know you have suffered a great loss.
Sorry to cause you so much trouble.
Good.
When you are doing the lamentations,
don't forget to pull in your stomachs.
And say, "Alas, alas."
Do that.
Alas, alas.
What's going on?
They've started the lamentations.
It's done now.
Here comes the president of the Farmer Cooperative.
This way, please.
Go ahead.
Good to see you, Mayor.
-Thank you. -Well done.
Good to see you, sir.
Please go inside.
Hello.
Good morning, Police Captain.
Good morning, sir.
There certainly was a good turn-out for the funeral.
Why are there so many people?
Alas, alas, alas.
Is it good?
Okay, okay.
Hey, hey!
Hey, what is this?
You bastard!
What the hell are you doing?
Let him go. You bastard.
You bastard!
Hae-ri, phone call from Seoul.
Okay.
I've lost count out of pots of soup I've cooked.
What appetites!
Now let's see you do whatever you want.
I can't just let a little boy like you disturb a house in mourning.
Are you not going to have a glass?
I'm tired.
Why don't you pour a drink for yourself?
Byung-seok, what happened to all the food?
Okay, on my way.
Hey, we need more soup over here.
Thank you, Mr. Kim.
How's my clothes?
Cut, cut!
This is the first scene...
Remember you're going to a funeral.
Don't you think it's time to start crying?
Damn... Let's do it again.
Oh, I see.
Let's get it right this time. Where is the car?
I sent it back.
The picture would have been better with the car.
Well, it's too late now. Start over there around the corner.
-From there? -Yes.
Don't forget to cry as you walk along.
All right.
-We'll start over there. -Okay.
-Start crying at the corner. -Let's cry.
Don't mess it up.
-Go for it! -You make us look good.
Start!
Oh my God!
How could this have happened?
Those are the waitresses from the coffee shop.
I can't believe it, sir.
What's this?
What the hell are those waitresses doing here?
No wonder he died with all the black coffee he drank at the coffee shop.
Oh, yes.
Did you know that he and the waitresses...
Don't be silly.
Uncle would never do such a thing.
Why?
Please stop that.
What?
What's wrong with letting them offer their condolences?
Here's a cup of black coffee for you.
Have a cup of tea, too.
This is your favorite herbal tea.
Okay, girls. Let's bow.
He looks much handsomer in the picture.
How could you just leave us like this?
Do you know how much we miss you at the coffee shop?
Cut! Let's do it again.
That was terrible.
Raise your back a bit.
-What are you guys doing? -That's better.
What the hell is going on now?
I appreciate your coming,
but you've gone too far.
But we're going to all this trouble,
so we can remember him better.
The video will help people remember him for a long time.
What did he say?
He said it was a good way to remember the deceased.
There it is. Hey, you!
-Where, where? -There!
Little boy, please bring me my shoe.
Hey, boy! Stop right there!
Hey, wait!
Oh, no! My car!
The last thing you told me
is that you love me.
I know you will never come back
but I want to know the truth.
It you are going to leave me, just do so,
but don't make me cry.
Go out and stop them. Are they crazy?
They can't sing when a house is in mourning?
What do they think, this is some cheap club?
A house in mourning should be busy.
This is good.
What did he say?
He said, "Leave them alone."
A house in mourning should not be too sad.
Ms. Lee, sing another one like that.
Ah, right!
Sing another one with a good beat.
Why don't you sing Mr. park's favorite song?
Okay!
Okay! One, two, three, four!
A slow south-bound train
makes its way through the rain
The rain is falling
and so are my tears
I've lost my first love
I don't know where she is
When I met her then...
I didn't see him.
She had no words...
He's good at having fun.
I've never seen a house in mourning like this one.
You could hurt someone with that.
Please mix in some cold water.
I like the person from then!
You know, you really look beautiful through the lens.
You really think so?
You stand out among all those people.
Really?
Have you ever thought about becoming a model?
Of course I have.
I love posing for the camera.
Really?
That is...
Perfect!
Bo-hwa!
Mr. Park...
Hey, what's with you?
It's my fault.
-What do you mean... -I killed you.
Wait, are you saying that you killed him?
Are you crazy? You must be drunk.
You did not kill him.
Hey!
Why are you suddenly being like this?
What's wrong with you?
You know, a while ago...
What did he say to you?
If only I'd done what he wanted...
Which is?
If I'd just slept with him once,
he would've lived another ten years.
She's out of it.
Come to your senses!
Uncle!
-Mr. Yoon, control yourself. -I killed him.
I'm a murderer.
What did he say?
It was important after all.
What was?
He would be alive and well
if I'd repaired the pedal.
What pedal?
Yes.
Hey, Mr. Yoon.
These pedals don't stop.
They need to be repaired.
You hear me?
Or You can't hear what I'm talking about.
Can't you see I'm busy?
Stop bugging me about those stupid pedals.
I'll get to them when I have time.
It's not your fault.
Don't blame yourself.
It was important, isn't it?
Yes, it was. The pedals of a bike are very important.
Let's go.
Let's go while
there's still some food and drink left.
Whoever wants to leave, let's go.
What?
Look as much as you want!
Don't cry.
When can I cry, if not at my father's funeral?
You think I haven't been a good enough son, don't you?
Not at all. I know how you feel.
Once when we were having a fight,
you said you gave in to me because you didn't want my parents to worry.
You looked like an angel.
If being an angel were that easy,
everyone would be one.
When you were a college student
and I was hanging around with no job after only graduating from high school...
I don't want to hear anymore.
It wasn't your fault.
Look. As the future head of the family,
your brother has to have a college degree.
Chan-gil,
you'll just have to wait until we're better off.
Dad, does that mean I don't have to go to school?
I'm much happier as your wife
than I would have been as a nurse.
I should've asked Dad to sell off the last rice paddy
and send me to college.
If you'd done that,
we might not have gotten married.
You think that would've worked?
There's land that is fairer than day
And by faith we can see afar
For the Father waits over the way...
What the hell is that?
Dad wasn't a Buddhist.
Why are you playing a sutra?
What?
You'll see.
My prayers will make him happy.
Ba-woo, what were you doing in there?
Come here. Did you have supper?
You can't see Grandpa anymore.
Let's go and fix you something to eat.
Chan-gil.
I'd like a word with you.
Okay.
Does my husband own land here?
What?
We've been getting billed for taxes for years.
I forgot to ask Father when he was alive.
Oh, this...
Yes, it's ours.
If it's a problem, I'll pay it.
As you know, your brother has no interest in this kind of thing.
But I'd like to know what's going on.
Actually, it's not much.
Since the family owns it and he's the oldest,
it's sent to him.
Then, why...
Stop it, Hae-ri.
That's enough.
You are so indecisive...
I said stop it.
What?
You shouldn't have come here.
That's it.
If that's what you think,
I'll pack up and leave right now.
All right.
Either take the kids and go back to Seoul in the morning,
or be quiet as if you weren't here.
Why should I act as if I weren't here?
Hey...
What's going on?
Now I don't want to listen.
I'm sorry, I should have told you about this before.
Chan-gil, if you have any land left here, let's sell it.
The price of land isn't going to go up.
What?
Did you come all this way to say that?
I'm such a lucky woman.
Sure I am.
I've lived long enough.
What else could I possibly want?
Mother, let's go inside.
It's cold out here. You shouldn't have come out.
She'll come or she'll be here tomorrow.
Dad!
Dad...
You won't humiliate me like this anymore.
You are no longer my daughter.
Dad, don't do this to me.
You know who that bastard is?
His father was a servant in this house,
and he betrayed us.
The times haven't changed that much.
A servant is a servant and nothing else.
Get out of my house!
Dad...
Are you out of your mind?
If you were just going to drive me crazy,
you shouldn't have tagged along.
If you don't take the car back, I'll kill myself right here.
Don't be ridiculous!
Why can't I be a son-in-law in this family?
What?
Who else would overlook your past
and accept you the way you are?
-Nonsense! -Chan-sook...
-If Dad's here, you're dead. -Chan-sook...
You're the one talking nonsense.
Your father is dead.
And that's why we're here.
Chan-sook!
Mom...
Mom!
Chan-sook!
It's all right.
I know, I know.
I know everything about you.
How much trouble did you go through?
How was Dad?
You'll never know how much he missed you and cried for you.
Day four Burial Service
It's chilly out here.
Did you stay up all night?
Yeah.
Go and get some sleep.
Yeah.
Your wife just left.
What's happening?
This must be a misunderstanding.
What a jerk!
This bastard ruined Chan-sook's life.
Is that the jerk?
Yeah.
Stop it!
What a fool!
You've got the wrong man.
You stupid!
You should have listened to me when I told you not to come.
Come on. Hurry up!
You stupid, come on. Let's go.
Chan-gil, you got the wrong man.
You just show up out of the blue
and stir up the whole family...
Come on. Get out of here.
Here it is.
It's time to prepare breakfast for the deceased.
Tomorrow will be a busy day.
A lot of people will be coming.
We have to get the bier ready.
Let's go inside.
Sir, I'd like to pour you a glass of Soju.
-What about yourself? -I'm okay.
I heard they're building an expressway in front of your house.
Yes.
-I wonder what they're doing it for. -Aunt, please set another table here.
The price of land will increase if an expressway is built.
Even if the expressway is built,
that is good for the rich, not the poor.
We have a lot of things to take care of
before the coffin can be carried to the burial site.
The grave hasn't been dug yet.
We'll have a lot more people coming.
We also need pallbearers.
Mother?
Yes?
How dare you...!
Where did you get that stupid suit?
You look so sexy in that mourning dress.
Sexy!
We need more hands here.
Where are the pallbearers?
Did you hear that? They need my hands.
Is everything going all right?
Who's up there digging the grave?
Don't worry. I'll take some men up there soon.
Good!
Let's just forgive him.
Here they come.
The civil defense drill!
What's going on?
The air raid siren.
Air raid? We need to take cover.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Civil Defense Headquarters!
We're issuing a training air raid warning all over the country.
I noticed the deceased isn't leaving.
Does he want to put the others through their paces?
We ought to hide somewhere.
Do I have to hide, too?
What are we supposed to do?
Should we take cover or not?
If you're in the Civil Defense Corps,
you take part no matter what.
Damn! The head of the CDC is here.
Nobody is going to write us up for not participating.
Time to wake up, sir.
Has the drill started yet?
Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down and listen.
This house of mourning is now proclaimed to be extraterritoriality.
Please continue with whatever you were doing.
If you were eating, go ahead and eat.
Those of you in the kitchen,
you can keep on cooking and serving the food.
He said this was territoriality.
Let's go!
If you were weeping, continue weeping.
Those of you who were mourning,
please continue.
You who were making the bier, please continue.
Go on.
What did he say?
Extraterritoriality.
Is it okay?
Come on, hurry up.
You can trust me completely.
The chief says you can trust him.
I, Captain Huh, take all the responsibility.
Have some drinks.
Come over here!
Come inside and have a glass.
Look.
Father's obituary is in the newspaper.
We may need to get some more meat.
Uncle, we may need another pig.
That's right.
We'll need it to put on the bier tomorrow and for lunch.
Catch the pig!
Catch it!
Hurry and catch it!
Nice shot!
How dare he shoot the gun during the funeral!
It was a nice shot!
He has skills.
Nice shot.
Remember, the gall bladder is mine.
-What did he say? -He said, "The gall bladder is mine."
-Is it his? -Yes.
He turns the funeral into a hunting ground.
You!
Little punk!
This way, please, sir.
Come this way.
Do you know the gentleman?
No, I've never seen him before.
That's strange...
You stay and wait here.
Yes, sir.
Hello.
Sir, do you remember me?
-Who is he? -I don't know.
I'm seeing him for the first time.
Mother, do you know a driver named Yoon?
What?
-A driver named Yoon? -Yes.
Dad!
Dad!
Something's happened.
What's all this about?
Dad, the car is gone.
-The car is gone? -Yes.
-Where is Mr. Yoon? -He's gone too.
Are you sure?
Chan-woo, go home.
He's got no place else to go.
He'll be back.
You bastard!
You destroyed this family.
How dare you come here!
Why haven't you been struck by lightning?
Yoon, the driver? That bastard!
What brings you here?
What did you say?
That's Yoon, the driver.
-Mr. Yoon? -Yes.
You bastard!
Please calm down.
How could you do that to my brother?
Please calm down.
So you are Yoon, our old driver?
You finally came back.
I'm so sorry.
I would have come back earlier,
but I couldn't face him.
I want to make amends for what I did to you.
Let's just forget it.
Forgive him and rest in peace.
We can't undo the past.
Let's just forget about it.
Forget about it.
-Mr. Kim! -Yes?
-Bring that here. -Yes.
I know I have no right to ask you to forgive me.
It's full of money!
It's money?
Haven't you ever seen money before?
How much is it?
It's sure to be well over a hundred million won.
Excuse me. I'd like to look over it, too.
As far as the amount of money is concerned,
it's far less valuable than the land this family once owned.
You need to do something with it.
Let's put it in the farmer's cooperative.
Everybody, back in your places.
Do you think we have all day?
Now my journey to the other world begins.
I won't be able to come back.
Let me see my sons for the last time.
Where is my oldest son?
They're looking for you, Chan-woo.
Hurry.
Uncle, is this really necessary?
-Chan-sae. -Don't be silly.
The funeral rites console the family of the deceased.
They allowed your father to take a last look at the house,
and they gave the neighbors a taste of the food.
All that ensures your father his place in heaven.
You know, our ancestors always had a reason for each of these procedures.
Don't be sorry for my death.
Take good care of your mom.
Where is my second son?
Where is my youngest son?
It'll be the last time.
Where is my daughter? My poor baby.
It's so sad that he didn't get to meet the son-in-law.
You, take this!
Let me see my son-in-law before I leave.
You fool!
They're here to send their deepest condolences
Feel free to stay as long as you want and then leave.
You behaved just as you should have as Chan-sook's older brother.
That's the way it should be.
You must be very tired.
Are you okay?
The baby has been very quiet.
You can't stay out here like this.
Let's go inside.
Fire! Fire!
Oh my! It's a fire! Fire, fire!
Maybe it's the ghost of the deceased.
No, it isn't. Is a ghost that big?
No way.
Uncle Pal-bong's car just seems to have caught on fire.
Stop it!
Don't do that.
Don't lay a hand on that child.
Stop it!
What are you doing now?
What are you doing now?
Please let him go.
He's also your father's son.
He's your half brother.
Don't hate your father.
Day five Bal-in
Brother...
Brother...
Now you can stand up.
With this, all the bad luck in this house will go away.
Stay well, I'm leaving.
Your mother went through lots of difficulties
The female members of the household should now stop following the coffin.
Please leave!
You must not follow any longer.
Mother, give those to me. I'll do it.
-Is the baby asleep? -Yes.
That's okay. I'll finish up.
No, it's okay.
Cut!
Very good.
Hello.
It's me.
The job's done.
I'm on my way home.
You know Ms. Oh, the writer?
Please call her.
Thank you.
