Bloody Innocence
Samduk, Jeollabuk-do 1985
Myung-hee went to Seoul
to be a factory girl.
- Really?
- Yes.
- When?
- The day before yesterday.
The best time for mating is
they come into heat.
And their gestation period is 114 days,
which is 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.
This will be on test for sure.
Yes.
No matter how easy it is
a stupid senior of yours
wrote down 3 years, 3months
and 3 weeks.
If they're pregnant for 3 years
they can't do it for 3 years. Right?
So don't you ever forget.
It's 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days.
I can't believe that Myung-hee left.
What?
I said she went to Seoul.
How do you know that, dumb ass?
It's been two days
since she ran away.
She's not that kind of a girl.
You're right. She's too
pretty to work in a factory.
- Then where is she?
- She must have gone to a bar.
Hey, shut up!
I was just wondering.
Me too.
Did Myung-hee tell you
where she was going?
I was not that close
to her as you know.
Right.
I'm sure she's fine.
Yeah, she's a nice girl.
Seung-Ho?
Yeah?
I can't go to your place today.
Anything?
This one.
Shit, she's only a girl.
Did he really have to do this?
Son of a bitch.
We have to line up
based on our grades?
You can go now.
What the fuck?
Pluck it already!
I knew it, fucker.
Go over there.
Name?
- Well done.
Now get out.
Hurry up, you motherfuckers!
- What did they ask?
- Don't know.
- What should I say?
What are you doing?
Come on in!
What the hell?
I said hurry up.
Pigs can mate
when 10 month old,
and students are like
It sounds a bit vulgar.
What?
You think 9th graders can...
you think they can have sex, right?
What I meant was...
You meant that Myung-hee
was old enough to do it, right?
No, that's not...
She didn't take my class.
What did you do that night?
What?
What's a 10 month old pig having
sex got to with her death?
Who suggested going to Jeonju?
What?
To watch 'The Deep Blue Night'?
Sun-ja said that?
Come here.
You don't get to ask.
You only answer, okay?
These cheeky little monkeys.
Why did you ask her to
watch the movie that minors can't?
We just...
Okay, keep talking.
We just asked knowing that
Myung-hee wouldn't go anyway.
Why?
Because of Dong-sik.
That's why you did
something to her?
No, that's not it.
Keep talking.
He had kept his feelings
for her himself
so we decided to do something
- because we got so frustrated.
- What?
She doesn't like
going to the movies.
Who do you think you are?
But that annoying
Sun-ja said that
she doesn't like
going to the movies.
And that was it.
I don't like movies, either.
Did you like Myung-hee?
Were you with her that day?
You were with her.
Answer me, bastard.
What did you do that night?
This is a real tough cookie.
Talk to me.
Just say it.
We ask her to come
to see us at 6pm tomorrow.
To two different places?
And then?
If she comes to you I'll give up,
but if she comes to me...
I'll give up?
Dong-sik
What?
When I become a big shot
I wouldn't just stand there and
do nothing when things are unfair.
Right, you're the best
student after all.
Yes, I am.
Yeah, please let me
take advantage of you.
Let's meet at the bank
at 7pm. Seung-ho
Yeah, this is mine.
Then why?
What?
Why this was found near
the body, you fucker?
Because I lent it to her.
Where?
At school.
What about you?
What about me?
What umbrella did you take?
I just took my bicycle
without one.
Why did you
have to be a gentleman?
Did you like her?
Detective, don't talk nonsense
and just do you job.
What the fuck?
Detective Kang, stop it!
He's the class president
and the hope of our town.
Christ!
Are you all right?
Oh...
You bastard!
Is this yours or someone else's?
I guess it's from our house.
You guess it's from your house?
I really don't know.
Everyone at school saw
me carrying a black one.
But you went out with this
at night again, right?
I was at home.
Then why this was found
at the scene?
Three of you were together?
Okay.
What did you do then?
If you don't answer quickly
you'll end up in prison together.
We sniffed it.
What?
I said we sniffed it.
What did you sniff?
What do you mean, you bastard?
Jesus, the glue.
We sniffed glue.
Let's call it off.
You mean don't go there?
Young-kyu Moon
Did you tell them?
Tell them what?
That we had a bet.
My bad.
You said every house
was on the map.
I'm so sorry. I totally forgot.
I forgot the house
because the owner had died.
How did he die?
I think it was 2 years ago.
He was driving a cultivator and
fell down the cliff right over there.
But the field's being watered
and taken care of.
Well, that's because...
I remember now.
This is Dong-sik's big brother.
He comes and goes
to help whenever he has time.
That motherfucker.
Hello?
Is anybody home?
Who is it?
Come here!
Get in.
Fucking bastard,
why did you kill her?
No, you didn't?
What about the evidence, fuckface?
Your fucking eyes can't see them?
Fucking asshole.
Why don't you speak?
Speak!
Stop it.
This bastard is...
a lunatic.
He was in a mental hospital
for a year.
Hey you!
What the hell?
That's why he look so wasted.
Stop it.
Kyung-sik Moon, confess.
Then your sentence will be reduced.
Besides, you were in
a mental hospital.
Okay? Let's talk.
Open your mouth, motherfucker.
Don't you hear me?
Open your fucking mouth!
Don't leave any marks.
Open your mouth, asshole!
You really have to go?
Your brother didn't confess after all.
Myung-hee would be still alive
if we didn't bet that day.
I'm going to move on.
Dong-sik!
Bye.
You'll never see me here again.
Jeonju, 1988
Let's go to eat!
Seung-ho!
Dong-sik?
Long time no see.
What's this,
a palm or concrete?
Spent 3 years on fishing boats.
I see.
Why don't we go
to eat something?
Eat?
There's a great restaurant.
Let's get some drinks.
Drinks?
Sure, why not? Then should we
get some draft beer?
Jesus.
Dong-sik!
They check attendance
after dinner.
This is Seung-ho's class?
Yes, it is.
Where's the attendance book?
In the office...
I'll get it.
How good is Seung-ho?
He's the top.
You know what? Blacks can't
take the bus whites take.
It's called apartheid.
How do you that?
You haven't been to South Africa.
Of course, you're the
number one student.
You are? How cool!
Do you keep in touch
with your sister?
I've only heard of her.
She works for some trading company.
I haven't seen her for 2 years.
She was so good to me.
Marry her when you become
an attorney or a judge.
You have no idea
how popular she was.
Have you visited your brother?
Seung-ho, you see...
Damn it.
Let's drink till death!
But I have to go back.
You're not a real man
unless you know how to drink.
Watch this.
Bottoms up, bottoms up!
So cool!
It's your turn now.
Fill it up, fill it up!
Here.
Drink it, drink it!
Seung-ho.
Why was your umbrella
found at the river?
Are you a detective now?
Idiot.
God...
What the hell is this?
What's this, huh?
Why did you do this?
You're the class president.
Step up.
Bend over.
Remove your hand.
Don't move.
Why would you do that?
Don't you move!
A Letter of Apology
Guro Industrial Complex
Seoul, 1991
We should get more drinks.
Let's go.
How about 'Can't Get Over You'?
What?
It sounds so corny.
But it's a nice place.
No, why don't we go to
some bar and get cold beer.
But I want some milk.
Fresh milk.
What? You know each other?
Since when you're a regular?
You're such a naughty man.
Hey, come on in.
Come on.
You liked Myung-hee, right?
But don't hate
my big brother too much.
Me, neither.
I heard that he insisted
till the end that he didn't do it.
Who believes someone
with a mental disease?
Don't hate Dong-sik, either.
Why would I hate him?
Right, you're friends.
Is it because I'm a bar girl?
No, that's not it.
Hey, stop right there!
Let me go!
Don't move, asshole!
Let me see.
You were the class president
of Samduk Middle School.
You lent Myung-hee your
umbrella on the day she died.
How come you don't
remember, smart ass?
Now you're the head of
Worker Student Solidarity.
You're keen on leading, don't you?
You'd be doing some
important shit one day.
What's this?
Hey you!
You don't give a damn, do you?
Back to where you were!
Back to where you were!
When I first came,
I was standing at the door
for 3 days.
I guess we're living in
a better world now.
You must be a student.
I started college in 1970.
You're a college student?
Anyway, he's in the real world
now since he's here, right?
Right.
Can't you see that everyone's waiting?
Introduce yourself.
My name is Seung-ho Lee
and I'm a labor activist.
What did you say?
Look at this fucker.
Can you believe it? You don't know
how to introduce yourself properly?
Nice skin though.
Did you have some fun
at school, asshole?
Want to punch me?
Look at him shivering.
You think we're a bunch of idiots?
Even the guards don't touch
student prisoners these days,
but we're different.
Youngest?
Yes!
Beat him up!
You motherfucker!
Now it's time you can't avoid
while at this prison.
Who is your first love?
Let's give him a big hand!
Was she pretty?
Yes, she was.
He said she was pretty.
So you slept with her?
I think he was a fucking nerd.
You're the one who failed to
rape a middle aged woman.
Right?
Then what fucker did
she end up with?
She died.
I'll kill you
if you're making things up.
Hey you!
Throw it away quickly.
Run.
Kyung-sik?
Seung-ho?
They're from the same town.
That's funny.
A lifer for rape
and a student activist.
Seung-ho's cell chief
is also from Samduk.
It's like a reunion for
Samduk people.
That's right.
Things are going well for you?
Kyung-sik, here's a newcomer.
I've never expected to see you.
What did you do to Myung-hee?
You think so, too?
You mean you didn't do it?
Who's gonna believe me?
Are you sure?
You really didn't do it?
Visitor: Dong-sik Moon
How did you know that I'm here?
You can't hide from me.
Everyone in Samduk knows that.
Really?
It is sort of a school, isn't it?
You still sail?
Only when I'm out of money.
Did you see your brother?
I don't have a brother.
What if he didn't do it?
Let me ask you one thing.
Did you go to see her that day?
Why do you ask that?
Just answer me.
Let me ask you one thing too.
Did you go to see her?
There...
Dong-sik was here.
Have you visited you?
No.
Did you know that
he liked Myung-hee?
You didn't?
And he wanted to
meet her that evening.
I really hope that
you're not the murderer...
Move your fucking ass!
Bring it quickly.
Okay.
Bring it.
You mean this, asshole?
What?
You think you're something
because our chief likes you?
Moron.
What the fuck?
I really hate people like you.
What I hate most is
fucking rapists.
What did you say?
Are you fucking out of mind, huh?
You want to die?
I'll kill you if you
mess with me again.
He's fucking crazy.
Beat him to death!
He's fucking crazy.
Beat him to death! Kill him!
Stop!
You go to a solitary cell
when you fight at lunch hour.
Damn...
I can't even eat properly.
Back to where you were.
Lunatics like him should be
in a mental hospital.
fine for 2 years.
I got set up by the police.
Seung-ho, I didn't like her
to be cold.
I just wanted to cover
her with a blanket.
But they said
she was removed first.
She was smiling at me.
I'm so sorry, Seung-ho.
No, I'm sorry to Dong-sik.
I don't know whom
I should say sorry to.
I really didn't know that
Dong-sik liked her.
Seung-ho, Seung-ho!
Seung-ho!
Seung-ho!
Seung-ho!
Hey, pull it!
Keep up with me.
For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son.
You are my Gods
and I will give you thanks.
We hope that
every brother here
to share glory
and joy of Christmas.
We pray in the name of
our Lord Jesus Christ to God.
Amen.
One of our inmates... Kyung-sik Moon
made this to thank you.
Thank you.
Oh my god! Thank you, Jesus.
Do you like it?
Of course.
Glad to hear that.
Seung-ho, say hello to this lady.
He's given a Christmas pardon.
Please pray for him.
How grateful you must be.
Our Jesus has given you
the best gift ever.
Wait...
Why Kyung-sik is not here?
Where's he?
I think he's in the workroom.
Get him quickly.
He's worked so hard for today.
Okay, ma'am.
Hey, Kyung-sik!
Hey!
For 3 days you and Kyung-sik
were in the workroom,
excluded from all other work.
What happened during the time?
We're too busy to finish our job
on time and that was it.
Then what about the milk?
It's yours.
He said he was hungry so...
Cut the bullshit.
Did you fight?
Answer me!
Warden!
What?
Take a look.
To. Seung-ho
I'd be someplace else
by the time you read this.
Contact the family.
Yes, sir.
Seung-ho.
Please take care of Dong-sik.
But he disappears
without a word.
You were always together
back then.
I know.
It's so strange.
I used to...
hate my big brother.
But it's sad.
Even though he was
a murderer and...
You're...
not getting married?
I don't know.
Fuck, fuck!
I was proud when I was with you.
You were good looking,
a good student,
and from a good family.
But why did you like
someone like me?
Because we were similar.
You know what?
What?
We shouldn't meet any more.
Crazy bastard.
How did he die?
I'm just curious. That's all.
He put cyanide into milk.
Boshin-dong, Dongducheon 1997
Umbrella! Umbrella!
Umbrella!
It's rainy
David
Give me yellow one!
Yellow my ass. Speak Korean!
Anyway, rumor has it that
you're going to the US.
Oh, really?
Wake up, okay? Going there
doesn't solve everything.
Thank you.
Probational Prosecutor Seung-ho Lee
I hope I'm not the only one
who's brought home computer.
You're not our staff yet.
But I'm a trainee.
We have an extra but it's 286.
Where's the internet line?
Can't use it, either.
Why not?
Due to a security reason.
Mr. Lee.
Yes.
You've got your first case.
It's a hard one though.
How are you?
I'm from the prosecutor's office.
I see.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Come on in.
You don't remember me?
Excuse me?
You're from Samduk?
It's just like what you said.
You don't remember saying that
I'd be doing
some important shit?
Did I say that?
I'm getting forgetful these days.
Have you identified the victim?
Only the name.
This is 911.
Help me, help me!
Hello, can you hear me?
She's from Samduk too.
Two beer bottles were found
in her womb,
and a Coke bottle
in her vagina.
And this was in her...
behind.
The direct cause of death was
hematozemia and the time of death...
That's enough.
I'll read the report.
Did you know her?
You sons of bitches!
Fuck you!
Get off me!
You killed my sister!
Get out!
What's wrong with you?
We just follow the order from above.
It's not my decision.
- What's your decision then?
- Don't do this.
You don't care about
catching the murderer.
I liked Jin-hee.
Liked her?
And you don't catch the killer?
Dong-sik.
What did you say before?
You'd never just
stand there and do nothing?
You'll have to wait.
Wait until the motherfucker
returns to the US?
There are things you don't know!
What's wrong with you?
What could be
more unfair than this?
Huh?
You and I are really over.
Stop right there!
There he is. Get this motherfucker.
Push him inside.
Community Doorebang
You don't get to tell me what to do.
It's like he wanted to be caught.
Don't be ridiculous.
They demand evidence.
What do you mean?
There are umbrella, beer bottles,
Coke bottle, and prints.
What the fuck?
You'll be axed
if anything goes wrong.
I'll take full responsibility.
How? You're not even
a prosecutor yet.
I don't even know
how you've made it here.
Watch out, okay?
Here's the latest update on
the Dongducheon murder.
A month after the murder took place
Private David was arrested last night.
A woman's community had handed
him over to the prosecutor's office,
and according to the police...
Hello?
Yes.
What?
What parole?
Only after 5 years?
Who said that?
Do you believe what
stupid reporters say?
Check it first and call me again.
Korean team which made history
when Hong scored the winning goal
will be playing at
Seoul World Cup Stadium on June 5th.
Next news.
Private David who was convicted of
murdering Jin-hee Moon in 1997
was paroled this morning.
He had served in Cheonahn
Penitentiary for 5 years and
left S. Korea as soon as
he was handed over to the US Army.
Civil organizations demanded
an explanation from the government,
and some citizens are protesting
at the US Embassy.
Oh, Japan!
David.
Private David who had
been paroled 5 months ago
was killed in this hotel
in Vang Vieng, Laos.
A S. Korean Mr. Moon was spotted
at the scene on the day of the murder
and returned to S. Korea
via Bangkok.
The US has asked the Korean government
to locate the suspect.
A surveillance camera...
Hello?
How are you, governor?
Yes, I'm almost there.
Okay.
Seung-ho?
You're Seung-ho, right?
It's me.
So nice to see you.
Me too.
Just as I expected.
You look awesome.
Here.
What do you mean, Peanut?
You look better.
Hey, don't call me that.
I've got 3 kids.
I'm sorry.
For the grand opening of
Samduk Sports Park...
special guests and the people of
Samduk will cut the tape.
One, two, three!
Is this yours or someone else's?
Victory for S. Korea!
Victory for S. Korea!
Victory for S. Korea!
I wonder if Dong-sik is still alive.
It was fun.
It'll be more fun next time.
You go that way, right?
Can you walk me home?
Your house is close to town.
What if someone sees us?
You're right.
I can go by myself.
Are you gonna be okay?
It's raining.
Don't worry.
You're scarier than a ghost.
It's far though.
It's okay.
I'll sing all the way home.
Okay.
See you later.
Later? When?
Myung-hee!
Thanks.
Thinking of Myung-hee?
Hey, why are you here?
You shouldn't be here.
Why didn't you tell me?
What do you mean?
Just leave. I beg you.
How did you kill my brother?
Why are you doing this?
Let me ask you again.
Why did you kill him?
Stop it!
If you were him... would you drink
milk you've never had before?
To. Seung-ho
What did Jesus say?
You've been punished enough
so I forgive you?
Answer me.
That's Jesus but
what about Myung-hee?
Would she...
forgive you?
You don't know any shit.
But I know that
you went to see her.
We parted right after I lent
her my umbrella. That's all.
What a coward.
You went to see her, too.
I didn't see her but you did!
He died because he wanted
to be forgiven by you and her.
I told him that
she was your first love.
And you said...
you wanted to kill him.
I beg you as a friend.
Leave.
Why did you do that to me?
Why?
Dong-sik.
You're the who killed
Myung-hee and my brother.
You killed them both.
You're crazy.
Dong-sik!
Dong-sik!
Dong-sik, Dong-sik!
That day...
Why did you go there?
If you hadn't...
she would have been alive.
I'm so sorry.
- Dong-sik.
- Step back, Mr. Lee!
Dong-sik.
Dong-sik!
Dong-sik!
