PARASITE Translated by: NOAH
Done already.
No more free wi-fi.
Ki-jung.
Yes?
What's auntie's wi-fi password?
Password?
Have you tried 123456789?
That's not it.
Try it backwards.
I already did.
Then you won't be able to chat?
No.
Hey, Kim Ki-taek.
Don't pretend to sleep. Talk to me.
My phone is dead and the wi-fi is out.
What are you going to do?
CHAMPIONS OF WOMEN DISC
- Ki-woo. - Yes, father.
Let me know once you've found the wi-fi.
Try it in every corner of your room.
I'm tired of these bugs.
Success! I found it!
You really found a signal?
Yes, look here.
Coffee Kingdom 2G.
That's the new coffee shop nearby, right?
How come I can't connect?
Up here.
Children....
- You found it? - We did.
Check to see if there are any missed messages.
The pizza place, You said you would call them.
Wait a minute...
Oh, right. The pizza place.
Look at this.
She is very fast. We could have it finished in a day.
- We'd get the money today. - She's very professional.
Jeez.
- What's wrong? - Fucking mosquitos.
- They're spraying the bugs? - Seems like it.
- Close the window. - Leave it, it's fine.
He's doing a great job getting rid of the insects.
Right. There's been tons of them lately.
Geez, the smell!
Didn't I say to close the window!
Want to close it now?
So thick.
What's wrong?
The sample, can't you see?
Follow the fold-line.
Why are there folds here?
Why is this loose?
It's not folded.
1 in 4 boxes are like this.
1 in 4 boxes.
So you cut the wage by 10%?
Considering the quality of your work, isn't that cut a bit small?
My salary is already small, Don't cut it anymore!
I'm telling you...
It's not as simple as you think.
If the pizza box is a mess, our brand will be damaged. Understand?
- The folding of the box is ruining your brand? - What did you say?!
Boss...
- What does that have to do with them? - Who?
The people who do this just disappear, right?
Just before a large order.
How do you know?
Where did you hear that?
That person is my brother's friend.
He's fairly strange, Doesn't hold a very good reputation.
So, boss...
Cut 10%, no problem.
Plus...
Plus?
You also got a new employee, right?
Sis, we need more people.
Hire a student as punishment.
I can come for an interview tomorrow. What time works best?
Wait a minute.
Let me think about it first.
First, pay for the pizza boxes.
Ah, the joy of sitting together like this.
The telephone is connected.
Let's celebrate the joys of wi-fi.
That man again. The sky isn't even dark yet.
Why didn't you post the sign "No Peeing". I told you to.
It's no use. Drunk people won't read. They'll just keep peeing.
At least tell him to go away.
Don't pee.
Don't pee!
Isn't that Min Hyuk?
Uncle, that's not a toilet.
That's right, Min.
Snot-nosed kid.
You're wrong, but won't dare to challenge me?
No way, snotty punk.
Come to your senses!
Your friend is great.
Older students act different.
Very different from my sister.
Does he know we're always home?
- Does he know we're unemployed? - No.
Hello everyone.
Oh, hello Min Hyuk.
- How did you get here? - Hi, Uncle.
Hello.
I sent you a message, didn't you see it?
Sorry to interrupt your dinner.
We're not having dinner.
- How are you, Ki-jung? - I'm fine.
Why did you come to our house?
Because of this. Let me show you. It's a bit heavy.
Put it here.
What is it?
When I said I'd go to Ki-woo's house..,
..Grandpa told me to bring it to you.
Is it the base of a bonsai?
Or, could be an abstract rock.
In fact...
When he became a military officer, my father liked to collect strange stones.
He'd put them in the living room, his study room...
There were stones everywhere.
This stone carries fortune and good luck.
Min Hyuk...
This is very symbolic.
Yes, as it is today.
Right.
Thank your grandfather for us.
Even though he didn't sen any food.
Does it have a name? Bonsai Base?
Do you also collect stones?
Thanks to this stone I was able to visit your parents. They look very healthy.
Very healthy. But unemployed.
Ki-jung didn't go to college?
No. We have no money.
Nice, right?
Is she a friend from college?
Park Da-hye, still in high school.
I'm being replaced as her English tutor.
How come?
Teaching rich kids. The pay is great.
She's also very jealous.
There was a problem when I left the country on a student exchange.
Don't you have a bunch of classmates.
Why are you even telling me this.
Why do you care?
I've been afraid to imagine.
Da-hye is surrounded by perverted boys.
Disgusting.
You like her?
Yes, I'm serious.
If she goes to college later, I want to date her.
But before that, she needs to be taken care of.
If you're the one to do that, it gives me peace of mind.
Thank you for trusting me.
But, you want me to pretend to be a teacher?
Ki-woo. Think about it carefully.
First, you have two subjects, Then come another two subjects.
In total you have four subjects, right?
Grammar, words, composition, conversation.
You would teach English...
..10 times better than all those tutors who do nothing but drink all day.
- You have a point. - Yeah.
Why would they accept me? I'm not a teacher.
Pretending will be enough.
Don't worry. I'll mention you, and...
Her mother.. What is it..
It's very simple.
Very simple.
Simple?
What are you talking about?
It's hard to explain.
Anyways, it will be fine.
- Promise? - Of course.
Oh yes..
I heard your sister has some talent as an artist?
Is she good with Photoshop?
CERTIFICATE OF STUDY
You're good with technology, You don't want to go into art?
Do you want to die?
- Miss, smoking is prohibited here. - Fine, give that to me.
Oh, the red stamp. Alright!
It's too bad that there's no major in counterfeiting documents at Seoul National University.
Ki-jung would be the best student.
Right? She's great.
Our child has an interview. Give good advice.
Son...
I am proud of you.
Father...
This isn't just a normal fake letter.
Next year I will actually receive it from some prestigious college.
You've already planned it.
Yes, but I've got a job to do first.
Who is it?
Are you Da-hye's mother? Greetings.
I was recommended by Min Hyuk...
Yes, please come in.
Alright.
Hello.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm the maid. Please, come on in.
- The yard is beautiful. - The inside is also very beautiful.
Do you know the architect Namgoong?
He's very famous.
This used to be his house.
It was all designed and overseen by him.
But now, as I'm sure you can see..
It's been turned into a children's playground.
Please, this way.
- Just wait here a moment, I'll get the madam. - Okay.
NATHAN PARK HITS CENTRAL PARK
INNOVATION AWARDS 2017
Ma'am?
The tutor has arrived.
Your history is impressive.
Moreover, you've been highly recommended by Min Hyuk.
You know,
Min was perfect.
I am very satisfied with him.
Regardless of Da-hye's grades.
- You understand? - Yes.
He is fantastic.
To be honest, Next year I will also be studying.
I asked Min to be my teacher.
But suddenly he had to study abroad.
Even though it's rude,
I will still stay it.
If you are not as good as Min,
...you will not be allowed to work here.
In fact... I'd like to ask...
May I sit in on today's lesson?
I want to observe how you teach.
Is it okay with you?
Are you sure that's the answer to question 24?
Da-Hye, you've finished all the questions, but you keep going back to number 24.
Am I right?
Yes.
If this were a real test, and that was your first question...
...then you've already fallen apart from the start.
See. Your heart rate is a mess.
The heart beat doesn't lie.
Even on an exam.
If your rhythm is a mess, then it's over..
I don't care what the correct answer is for question 24.
What's important is how you master the overall rhythm of the test.
That's what I've noticed.
Focus.
Maintain momentum.
Momentum.
Understand?
You'll be paid once a month.
3-5 times a week. 2 hours per session.
Your pay will be based off your hours.
The amount is similar to Min Hyuk. It will rise with inflation.
Thank you.
Let me introduce you.
This is Kevin, Da-Hye's English tutor.
Nice to meet you, Kevin.
If you ever get hungry while teaching, let me know.
Let her know whatever you need.
She knows this house better than I do.
Da-song, don't do that!
- I'm so sorry. - It's no problem.
- His name's Da-song? - Yes, he's my youngest.
Say hello, Da-song. This is Kevin.
These are Indian arrows.
I bought them from an American website.
Last year he was obsessed with Indians.
Indian tribes?
Is he easily attracted to something?
He wouldn't keep quiet about it. I couldn't get any rest.
Last year he joined Scouts.
So he can focus on being orderly.
You can see the results for yourself.
He became even worse.
It's almost like Scouts encouraged his infatuation with Indians.
Scouts did originate from American Indians.
Have you ever been a Boy Scout?
Yes, I am a talented Scout.
Da-song also has artistic talent. You can see for yourself.
His paintings are abstract and very strong.
Strong?
Teacher Kevin can feel it.
This is a picture of a chimp?
It's a picture of him.
I knew it.
It can't be appreciated by adult eyes.
Da-song talent in art.
Maybe because his art teachers change so frequently.
None of them even lasted for a month.
He's rather difficult to control.
- Ma'am. - Yes?
I know of a good candidate.
Her name...
Jessica! Yes, of course, Jessica.
She's my cousin's friend. She majored in art.
What's her Korean name...
Anyway, she went to...
...University of Illinois Majoring in Applied Arts
She just returned to Korea.
Illinois... Then?
The class was very unique.
She would be understanding of your child's condition.
That's rare in art.
Not only does she come from a unique class.
She can also help your child to major in art.
I'm curious. What's she like?
Would you like to meet her?
But, I hear that she's very expensive.
Hold on.
Jessica is an only child, A graduate from Illinois, Chicago.
Your classmate Jin Zhenmu's cousin.
Do you know what Da-Song did with his food at dinner?
He formed a mosaic.
It's a recurring pattern.
Red chile sauce, white rice, anyway...
Basque style.
He's only 9 years old.
How interesting.
I'm sure Jessica will see this.
Please continue, I want to start Da-Hye's class.
- See you later, Jessica. - Thank you for your recommendation.
There are many talents that you can observe...
Da-hye.
Shall we start with question 38?
Teacher...
Yes?
Do you know?
Da-song puts on an act.
What do you mean?
All of his behaviour...
..he pretends to be a genius. He does strange things.
Pretends to be an artist.
Da-song does that?
Is that normal?
He was walking and suddenly stopped, pretending to look to the sky for inspiration.
He was walking, then suddenly stopped?
Didn't you hear what I just said?
You're irritating.
He also pretends to live a normal life.
It makes me want to vomit.
Da-song may be like that...
But what are you doing to solve the problem?
I don't know.
I just put up with it.
Okay, that's the problem...
If you're done discussing Da-Song...
It's time to learn English.
Use the word "mock" in 2 sentences.
Teacher, may I ask a question?
Yes.
Jessica, who came earlier...
...is she really your classmate's cousin?
What do you mean?
Is Jessica your girlfriend?
No way. I just met her for the first time today.
Jessica is very pretty, don't you think?
Are you sure you don't have a crush?
Have you seen her?
She's beautiful.
Sure.
I knew it.
You have a crush on her.
Da-Hye.
If you compare Jessica...
..and you...
Solve the problem.
- Please understand if he cannot keep quiet. - Okay.
Da-song.
Wake up, Da-song.
In the butt.
- You should leave. - What?
I do not teach in front of parents.
- But today is your first day... - Please, just leave.
- Da-song? - Da-song...
Ma'am.
- Would you like some plum juice? - What?
With some honey, it will calm you down.
Yeah, sure.
- Miss. - Yes.
I have a great idea.
Make two cups and bring one to his room.
You're not a parent, so you are allowed in.
Great idea.
Then I'll tell you what's going on inside.
I should have done this a long time ago.
What happened?
They came down?
Indeed.
That was fast. You're already finished?
Ma'am, please have a seat.
You may go back up, Da-song.
Hurry up.
- This is Da-song's painting. - Yes.
I want to talk to Da-song's mother.
- She's like family... - No, we need to talk alone.
Ma'am... I've already told you...
...that I've studied Psychology and Applied Arts?
Yes.
What happened in Da-song's first class?
I just want to know...
In order to decide if I can continue to teach Da-song..
..I must know.
- But how do you know? - Don't worry.
The lower right side is called area of ​​deviation.
It often reflects the mental state.
- Mental deviations. - Watch this.
- Da-Song draws certain shapes, right? - Yes.
These are also the same?
Calm down.
Same area, same shape.
Now do you understand?
Yes.
I see his paintings everyday.
How can I not know?
Take it easy. Calm down.
There's a sort of black box on Da-song.
Would you like to open the black box with me?
Yes, I want to open it.
Then it will be 2.5 million per hour. Two hours per class.
This isn't ordinary tutoring. This is part therapy.
Of course.
Therefore my hourly rate is higher than normal.
- Does this matter? - No, I should be thanking you.
Looks like his father is home.
Dear, this is the new art teacher.
Jessica, from Illinois
Jessica, this is my husband.
- Hello. - Hello.
It's good to meet you.
- Is the class over? - Yes.
- Yin. - Yes?
- Do you have time? - Yes.
Take the teacher home.
Right. It's not aa good idea to let someone walk home at night.
- Understand? - Yes.
Teacher Jessica.
You'd like me to take you home?
- Where do you live? - Don't bother.
Just take me to Hyehwa Station.
- Thanks. - It's no bother.
- My work for the day is done. - Just take me to Hyehwa Station.
It looks like it will rain.
Don't take the train, I'll drive you in the Mercedes.
I promised by boyfriend I'd meet him at station 3.
Alright.
I used to drive a Mercedes-Benz, you know.
Mercedes-Benz...
Dad was the valet at Daechi-Dong.
He was a valet parking attendant.
Yes, after his chicken shop went bankrupt, before selling cakes Taiwan.
For 6 months.
No, he sold cakes after he was a parking attendant.
Shall we move to the next stage?
I already put a trap in the Mercedez-Benz.
Then we'll continue.
How symbolic.
Father, we ate at the driver's restaurant.
Yes, the driver's restaurant.
You have to eat more.
Did you pay? Or did they treat you?
Eat up, son.
Eat as much as you want.
- What did you do with the mother? - What?
She was very impressed.
- She was shaken up. - I have no idea.
I told her I was an art therapist.
She started to cry.
What a crazy woman.
You're home. Have you eaten?
- Is something wrong? - The maid isn't here, is she?
She's taking the dogs for a walk.
Dear...
I found this under the car seat.
Driver Yin is crazy.
Whose are these?
I'm sorry, dear.
I didn't think Yin would do something like this.
Did you give him a lower salary?
Was he not able to just rent a room?
Maybe he's insane.
First, it's in the car. Next, he'll be doing it on a motorcycle.
Why was it in my car?
I wouldn't care if he was making love in a private room.
But in my car?
At least it was only in the back seat.
Why would he cross a line like this?
Right.
There could be sperm in my seat.
Could be...
You know the weirdest thing?
What?
It would be normal...
...for someone to forget their earrings.
Right.
But how could you forget your panties?
Yeah, that's quite strange.
I doubt that woman's sanity.
You know what I mean?
Oh my gosh! She must have been on cocaine!
The children will hear! What should I do?
What if you find white power in your car?
Relax, my dear.
Relax.
It's just a guess. But it makes sense.
No need to panic.
Absolutely.
If I asked him...
"What were you doing in the backseat of my car?" That would be weird.
- Very weird. - Therefore.
Could you think of a good way to fire him?
Okay.
Don't mention the underwear or sex in the car
- We don't need to take that risk. - Of course.
He never complained on the job, so we'll have to add severance pay.
Already done? How is Da-Song?
Not bad.
- The class is over? - Indeed.
Teacher, the last time you came here...
...you were escorted home by Driver Yin, right?
Yes.
This must sound strange...
But nothing happened, did it?
Of course not. He was very friendly. When I asked to get off at the station..,
...he insisted on driving me home.
He really drove up to your house that late at night?
So he knows where you live?
No. I got off at Hyehwa Station.
Thank God. You're a smart woman.
Is there something wrong with him?
In essence, he did something bad and will need to be fired.
How come?
You don't need to know.
That's too bad, he seems like a nice guy.
Jessica, you're still very young.
You have no experience with men.
It doesn't matter, we'll find a new driver soon enough.
It would be better if the driver was a bit older, right?
Yes, but his car was good and had the newest technology.
My Uncle has that too.
His name is Uncle Kim. He's very polite and calm.
I've called him Uncle since I was a kid.
- You know him well? - Yes, he's got a great personality.
But he recently moved to Chicago.
He wasn't able to find a good job as a driver.
I'm very interested. Could I possibly meet him?
- Really? - I can't trust anybody else.
Unless they've been recommended, I won't believe them.
But you've known him since childhood. He seems fantastic.
Hey there.
You seriously want to meet him?
I'm dead serious.
I think the best recommendation is from a trusted person.
What do you call it...
A chain of trust.
- Not this one? - No.
Then this.
Can I touch this?
Don't touch, it needs to be turned.
This is really complicated.
Mr. Kim
You've been in there for quite a while.
This is a great car.
Come. Over here.
He's in a meeting.
Please wait here.
Hello, greetings.
Is it compatible with mobile?
No, because it needs higher processing power.
This isn't a test. There's no need to be nervous.
It's been a long day at work. I need some fresh air.
Yes, I understand.
You must be tired every day.
At least you can enjoy the silence in this car.
Thank you.
You seem to know the roads well.
The south roads are no problem for me.
I've been driving for 30 years.
I have a lot of respect for those who work in one field for so long.
Actually, The job is very simple.
I once drove a CEO.
Company boss.
He was a lonely man. I drove very morning through the streets with him.
We formed a kind of colleague relationship.
It made me excited every day.
Time with him just flew by.
Your turning technique is very good.
It's simple, a very basic skill.
She looked very friendly. Originally, she was an old weasel.
She acts as if it were his home.
Right.
She's lived here for a long time.
She was the caregiver of the Namgoong family.
Then, she served the Diesterweg family.
After the Namgoong family moved out.
Then came the Park couple.
"She's a good helper. We might as well hire her."
The families change, but the maid stays the same.
She's very loyal.
To get rid of a woman like that, we'll need an elaborate plan.
Yes, a good plan.
I want some peaches, my favourite fruit.
Why not ask the maid?
Our family does not eat peaches. It is taboo.
However, according to the Diesterweg family..,
The maid is allergic to peaches.
You know, peach skin is as thin as a hair.
If she even comes close to it, She could have a seizure.
Respiratory problems, asthma, and other serious symptoms.
No. There are no peaches at home.
Quite, so!
When the symptoms appeared..,
I immediately left the room to go take my medicine.
Because of the shock,
...I couldn't remember where I had left my medicine.
Ma'am,
Do you know who this is?
She's our family's maid.
Oh, is that so? I've seen her a few times around the house...
I wasn't sure who she was.
But I've seen her a few times around the house.
Is this a photo from the hospital?
Yes, from 2 days ago when I went in for a check-up.
I was taking a selfie to send to my wife.
Then I noticed she was behind me.
Was she on the phone?
I didn't meant to eavesdrop.
But I heard a bit of her conversation.
Dad, your intonation is too high.
Bring it down a little, okay?
But I heard a bit of her conversation.
Don't say it so dramatically.
Once again I did not intended to eavesdrop.
But she was speaking so loud.
It's okay, just tell me.
She said she has Open Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
Everybody heard her, People were starting to react.
Tuberculosis? Impossible.
I heard her say Tuberculosis.
There are still people that get Tuberculosis?
Father...
Can you buy an anti-Tuberculosis stamp before Christmas?
Sounds a bit old fashioned, right?
Be careful.
South Korea is a country that suffers from Tuberculosis.
I think that the maid has a right to work.
But if there are children like Da-Song at home...,
And she's in the kitchen, Cooking, spitting...
Please stop!
FATHER: I'LL BE HOME IN 3 MINUTES
If we get the opportunity to add more, It will definitely be better.
GO TO THE SAUNA ROOM 2
DON'T LET THE MAID KNOW
Please sit.
Mr. Kim
Don't tell my husband.
Okay.
If he knows there are Tuberculosis sufferers in this house...,
...he'll run away.
Don't worry, ma'am.
It's just a presumption, I'd like to clarify...
...I have no bad intentions whatsoever towards the maid.
I'm only looking out for your family's safety.
I hope I've conveyed that.
I don't mean to complain.
Don't worry about it.
I won't mention Tuberculosis.
I'll find another reason to fire her.
A more simple reason.
Experience haas taught me.
Wise decision.
Did you wash your hands?
Mr. Kim
Have you ever had the delicious ribs? Just down the road.
- Dinner, then home? - Yes.
I don't know why, but I'd really like some ribs today.
Usually the maid would make them.
Has it been hard after she left?
My wife didn't even tell me why she left.
It's not difficult to find someone new.
But it's a pity, she was great at her job.
Fantastic at taking care of the house.
She knew how to balance a lot on her plate.
I hate people who push the limits.
There was one problem.
She ate too much.
I heard she ate 2 servings of every meal.
After all, she was a busy woman.
You must be eager to find someone new to take care of the house.
Yes, it's troublesome.
It's only been one week and my house is already a garbage dump.
My clothes are starting to smell.
Da-Song's mom isn't used to taking care of the house.
Now the house is dirty and the food is bad.
But you still love her, right?
Of course. I love her.
That is love.
You could give this. try.
"The Care"? What is this?
It's a company I was contracted by at one point.
What's it called... A membership?
A sort of VIP help.
Maid, nurse, or a driver like me.
A specialist service company.
I can tell it's expensive, just from the card.
Good taste in design.
And you know this company, Mr. Kim?
They contacted me briefly, since I am an experienced driver.
They invited me to join.
But when they contacted me, I had already been contacted by you.
So...
You turned down the big company and chose me.
I won't forget that.
You jerk!
I'll give this card to my wide.
I hope it well help. 724 Don't tell her I gave it to you.
She'll need to hear your own personal judgement of the company.
I understand.
Thank you. We'll try it out.
The contact information is on the back of the card.
- You can call for a consultation. - Eyes on the road!
Hello, this is The Care consulting.
Hello, this is The Care?
Yes.
That child could make a lot of money by scamming.
It sure sounds good, huh.
I heard you guys offer membership, right?
Yes we do. You're not a member yet?
No. How do I join?
I'll give you some information.
Can you grab a pen and paper?
Family Card, Identification,
In order to prove your income,
Land Certificate, etc.
Land certificate?
Wow! Peaches!
Please, have a taste, Kevin.
Yes.
Please knock on the door before you come in.
Of course.
Don't come in for no reason.
Alright!
Park Da-Song!
Daddy's here!
Where are you?
- Daddy! - My son!
Did you buy a walkie-talkie?
- Walkie-talkie? - Walkie-talkie!
Do you love your dad, or do you love walkie-talkies?
You still have class, why did you come down here?
You're so busy, when do you have time to shop?
Easy.
Oh?
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
That's enough, Da-Song.
They smell the same.
What did you say? Go back upstairs, Ms. Jessica is waiting for you.
Ms. Jessica smells the same too.
We've used a different soap.
I even changed my detergent and deodorant.
I've washed my clothes 4 times.
Hmm.
It's the smell of a basement house.
We need to move so the smell will disappear.
Easy solution, right?
There's a security guard vacancy..,
500 people want the job.
We could get the job as a family.
Dad's right.
With our four wages combined..., 780 They'll be paying us lots of money every month.
Thank God for Mr. Park..
And also Min Hyuk
You have a great friend, And thanks to him we can...
You again! Go and die!
Kim Ki-woo, off to save the day!
No, it's too heavy.
Just use this.
Go away!
Woooow.
It's like a fountain!
The sunny weather is gone, Small clouds are coming.
But it's not too cloudy. Over.
Received. Now watch your brother's mouth.
It's like a duck.
Da-Hye has a sour face. Over.
Can't I just stay home to learn English?
Teacher Kevin will take care of me.
Don't be silly, every needs a vacation.
Da-Hye, this is no ordinary trip.
Your his sister. You want to miss his birthday?
Dad's always busy too.
You won't regret it, okay?
- The projector? - Are you going to bring it?
- Can you help me package it. - Well.
Da-Song wants to bring a raincoat.
He'll be very happy if it rains.
Do you remember their names? This is Jenny, Berry and Puff.
Jenny and Berry eat this.
"Super Balance Natural Edition"
This one is for Puff.
- Fish from Japan. - Yes.
Walk Jenny with the longer rope.
She likes to run and jump.
Just like Da-Song.
Kiddo...
Why are you lying outside?
Isn't it hot?
I like to stare at the sky.
It's relaxing.
Mom, what kind of drink is this?
Sparkling Water?
Ki-Jung, do you want a drink?
Yes please. Thanks.
There are so many types of wine.
Father, let me pour it for you.
To being rich.
Drinking whisky as the rain falls outside.
Son, what's that yellow book?
This? Da-Hye's diary.
Diary?
Damn. Why do you have it?
So I can understand her better.
Have you started?
I'm serious. She really likes me.
Recently...
Nevermind.
When she starts college, I'm going to officially date her.
I'm serious.
Oh, my child...
This going to be your wife's house?
And I'll be doing the dishes.
Yes, and washing your in-law's socks and underwear.
I like her. She's a good girl.
She's beautiful.
Well, if you say so...
What if I actually marry Da-Hye.
I'll have to find actors to play my parents.
I know a guy.
Last year he went to a few weddings and acted like a relative.
I can't even get a bridal bouquet.
He got an additional 500 thousand.
No wonder your acting has developed so well.
Besides good acting...,
...their family is easy to fool, right?
Especially the mother.
So true.
Lady Yeon is simple and good.
Rich, but good.
Not "rich, but good"
But "being rich is good", understand?
If only I was rich...
I would be very kind.
Super kind.
Yes, your mother is right.
Rich people's lives are easy.
They get old without wrinkles.
Money is their electricity.
All their wrinkles disappear.
Ki-Woo
The last driver was named Yin, right?
The family driver.
Yes, Yin.
He'll find work somewhere else, right?
Yes, for sure.
He's young, handsome..,
He'll get a better boss, right?
Shut up!
What is wrong with you?
We have a lot of problems, we need to take care of ourselves first.
Father...
Mind your own business, understand?
You really care about the driver!
Perfect timing.
Ki-Jung has summoned the lightning.
Cheers, Jessica.
When I saw you in the bathtub.
What?
Well.. I think it suits you.
You fit perfectly in this mansion...
- Shut up. - No, really.
You were lying down watching TV...,
As if you've lived here forever.
I'm asking you, Ki-Jung.
If this house were ours...,
If we stay here, Which room do you want?
Architect Namgoong's masterpiece.
Which part do you like the most?
I have no idea.
I'd need to live here first. Then I'd be able to answer.
Don't we already live here?
Sitting in the living room, with all these drinks.
Yes, we live here.
Now this is our home. Isn't it warm??
Warm?
What if Mr. Park suddenly came home?
We'd have to hide like a cockroach.
Kiddo...
Like a cockroach when you turn the lights on, they scatter and hide.
You know what I mean?
I won't leave.
- Cockroach? - Right.
What's wrong?
No, father. Let go.
What's wrong.
You're afraid, right?
Ki-woo, you're scared, right?
You thought I was serious?
If you were serious, you'd be dead.
Jeez.
Dog food?
Who could that be?
Why is she here?
She's the maid from before, right?
What's she doing?
Why does she keep ringing the bell?
I'll take care of it.
Who is it?
Hello, I...
Mrs. Yeon isn't at home, is she?
I worked here for a long time.
Above the screen, there's a portrait of the dogs, right?
Jenny, Berry, and Puff
What are you doing here so late?
You're the new maid, right?
The point is...
I'm sorry to come at this time of night.
It's just...
..I sudddenly remembered...
I left something behind in the basement.
May I come in?
What should we do?
I don't know, this wasn't part of the plan.
So sorry.
- Come on in. - Thank you.
Hurry up.
I'll be fast.
Thank you so much for letting me in.
What did you leave behind?
I can show you.
I'm not interested.
Help me push this cupboard!
Pull from over there.
Pull!
Something's wrong.
Are you okay?
Just startled.
Thank you.
Dear!
Hey!
Dear!
Love!
I'm coming, my love!
Your wife is coming!
Are you okay?
I'm very hungry.
Drink up. You haven't eaten in days.
My poor husband hasn't eaten.
Don't worry.
She was nice to let me in.
She helped move the cupboard that was blocked.
No wonder. I've spent all this time down here and could never open the door.
- What is this? - This must be very strange for you.
If I were you, I would certainly be scared.
Shame on me, Chong-sook.
Wait.
How do you know my name?
In fact, Da-song sent me a message.
He told me they were going on a trip.
So I knew they'd be away.
So I planned to come here.
Mari kita bicarakan.
Don't worry, Chong-sook.
I cut the CCTV cable at the front of the house.
Nobody will know I'm here, sis. Great, right?
- We're not family, don't call me sis. - Sis, my name is Moon-gwang.
This is my husband, Geun-Se
How is it?
Delicious. What happened to your face?
I'll tell you later. Eat this banana.
So you've been stealing food from the kitchen? For your husband's sake?
No. I bought all the food with my own money.
That is wrong.
How long has your husband lived down here?
I believe it's been 4 years.
- 4 years, 3 months 17 days. - Yes, it's June now.
The last family moved to Paris 4 years ago.
Then I heard the Park family was moving in.
So I brought my husband along.
Usually, a rich person's house will have a basement.
In order to evacuate if there's ever a North Korean attack...,
..or to hide from debt collectors.
The Namgoong family kept the basement hidden...
It's a secret.
Only I know of it.
So that's it...
I already know the way out.
I'm going to call the police.
Sis, please.
That will make trouble for everyone. Don't, please.
It's no trouble for me.
It's trouble for us!
We have no family and no money. We only have debt.
Please, sis.
He's been hiding here for 4 years, and the debt collectors are still looking for him.
They're still looking for him and they're still threatening him.
You owe moneylenders?
It's all my fault.
I opened a cake business in Taiwan..,
After it went bankrupt, our debt skyrocketed.
Please, accept this.
What is it?
Money. It's not much. But this is everything we have.
I'll pay you every month.
I need you help to feed him just once every 2 days.
No. Even once a week would be enough.
From the fridge. Just once a week.
You're crazy, I'm calling the police.
Sis!
What's going on?
Jessica?
Mr. Kim?
What is this?
Daddy, my knee!
- Are you okay? - My knee, dad!
Why is she calling him dad?
Now I'm wondering why Yin was fired so suddenly.
Listen, we need to talk.
- You're a family of cheats and liars! - Sis...
"Sis" my ass. Shut up, bitch.
I took a video of you and will send it to Mrs. Yeon.
See?
Daddy, my knee!
There's no signal in the basement, right?
- The signal is actually very good. - Damn it...
Please... We need these jobs...
Shut up! I don't want to hear it!
You'll all go to prison together!
Nanny! Are you crazy?!
If Mr. Park sees that video...
He will be shocked!
They are very kind people.
- Don't do this to them! - Don't come closer!
Or I press the send button.
Come on.
Calm down, please.
Don't push me!
Let's get some fresh air. It's been a while.
This is like holding a nuclear launch button.
What do you mean, honey?
They're so scared, they dare not move.
Like North Korea's nuclear button.
And I'm talking to His Majesty the Great Kim Jong Un.
Today we see a family of con artists...,
They're evil and cunning.
They deserve punishment and humiliation.
You're not on TV, honey.
Your Honour....
Keeping in line with the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula...,
I have decided to fire the rest of my nuclear missiles..
..directly at these people.
Issue the order immediately.
Your North Korean accent is very good.
Their filthy organs will be mixed with nuclear waste..,
Then we will achieve denuclearization and world peace.
His Majesty Kim Jong-Un..
No need to be so serious.
Raise your hands.
This is the family.
- Husband? - Yes.
- Wife? - Yup.
- Son? - Yes.
- Daughter? - Yeah.
God damn it.
What did they do while they were drunk?
This living room used to be full of art and soul!
You're all idiots!
Do you even understand art?
How could they understand?
When the sun rises...
Two people bathed in the early morning light.
That's when you can feel the breath of art.
Quickly!
Nice! Hurry up and delete it!
Be careful you don't press the wrong button.
Hello.
Nanny, could you please make some fried peanut sauce udon?
Fried udon with peanut sauce?
It's Da-Song's favourite food.
Start boiling the water.
All the ingredients are in the fridge.
Hows your trip?
It's a complete disaster.
All the heavy rain hit our camp.
All of our tents are soaked.
Da-Song still didn't want to go home, but we were able to persuade him.
We'll be there soon. Make sure the udon is ready.
How long will it be until you arrive?
The GPS says 8 minutes.
8 minutes until you're home?
Hang up the phone and start boiling the water.
They want fried udon with peanut sauce
Come on, faster!
Hurry up!
FRIED INSTANT PEANUT SAUCE
Father, she can't walk!
What?!
Dad!
Hurry up! Go and help.
Catch!
You are home.
Da-song, look fried udon with rice.
Da-song!
Ma'am!
Fried udon and peanut sauce. It looks delicious. Da-song doesn't want any.
- Is he sure? - Mr. Park told him he should eat.
Is there beef?
- Beef? - Yes.
Welcome Mr. Park!
President Park is already home.
Welcome President Park!
- What are you doing? - Shut up!
Dear, would you like some fried udon?
- Da-song doesn't want any? - No.
I'm tired, I think I'm going to go get some sleep.
Don't look at me like that. It's shameful.
President Park, Today I ate again.
Welcome!
Do you do this every day?
Yes, I send him a message of thanks.
He must know, right?
What?
Morse code.
The light blinks all the time.
Da-song is a Boy Scout, so he certainly understands.
Do you think it's weird?
That we sometimes want to give up our children.
He's not a perfect child.
He's a handful, I understand.
Think about it.
Da-song has many problems.
Art therapy helps with the trauma.
Because something happened.
What?
Do you believe in ghosts?
A few years ago, Da-song saw a ghost in the house.
On his birthday.
At midnight, when everyone was sleeping...,
Da-song quietly snuck down to the kitchen and ate some leftover cake from the fridge.
The cake was delicious..,
..so he wanted more before he went to sleep.
He sat on the floor eating his cake.
Suddenly I heard a loud scream. So I ran down.
And...
His eyes rolled back, mouth began to foam, and he started convulsing...
- Has your child ever had a seizure? - Never.
If it's not taken care of in 15 minutes, it can cause damage to the brain.
Of course, it took more thaan 15 minutes to take him to the ER.
All these years, you've managed to live in a place like this?
Many South Koreans live underground.
- Or in a basement, too. - What are your plans for the future?
Don't you have any plans?
I'm comfortable living here.
It feels like I was born here.
As if I were married here.
As if I retired here.
At least I have my wife.
Please let me live here.
Well, that's the story.
My husband was away for work at the time.
So it was very hard for me.
Since then, we've always celebrated his birthdays outside of the house.
This year we chose to camp and my parents' house.
His father didn't seem to mind.
And the kids were fine with it.
He said that living in a haunted house brings good fortune to business.
These past years, business has gone very smoothly indeed.
Thank God you're still alive.
You stay right here.
What's wrong, Jenny?
What's going on?
What the heck?
Shit.
- Mom. - You're not asleep either? What's wrong?
I want some fried udon. Why aren't you answering me?
If you don't get me something to eat, I'll tell father.
I'll eat alone.
You should have asked Nanny to make you some.
She doesn't know who wants to eat.
- Is this about the udon? - Why didn't you just ask me?
Shut up! Go to sleep.
Fine!
- Where is Ki-jung? - Under the table. Hurry!
1,2,3! 1,2,3!
What are you doing, Da-song? Stop that!
He went outside. Get the umbrella, Nanny.
Hey, Park Da-song!
Naughty boy. What are you doing?
Da-song! It's nighttime! Come inside!
Use an umbrella, honey. 1217 You're crazy! It's pouring rain!
It's a level 3 weather emergency!
Turn on your walkie-talkie!
Give me that.
He'll get bored and come back.
- GARA IS MY SISTER - OUR HEARTS STAY TOGETHER
Park Da-hye.
Get off your phone and go to sleep.
Nanny, go back to your room. Get some rest.
I'm in the living room. Do you copy?
Message received.
I'm watching you from here. Over.
Alright. Over.
The tents won't leak, will they?
They're American, it shouldn't be a problem.
- Let's just sleep on the sofa. - What?
We can keep an eye on the tent from here.
- It's easier that way. - Okay.
We can stay up and wait for Da-song to fall asleep.
Indeed.
Do you smell that?
Why does it smell so bad in here?
What smell?
It smells like Mr. Kim.
- Mr. Kim? - Yup.
- Well, I don't smell anything. - Really?
You must smell it.
It smells like his car.
What is it...
- Old man's smell? - No.
More like...
Raisins left out in the heat?
No.
You would know if you kissed him.
Sometimes...
He almost crossed the line.
But in the end, he's not bad at all.
- I'll admit it. - Yup.
But if he crosses the line later...,
I won't be as kind.
- What's that smell? - I have no clue.
It's hard to explain.
Smells like a busy subway.
I wouldn't know. I haven't been on the subway in forever.
People who ride the subway have distinct smells.
Like the back seat of a taxi.
What if Da-song comes back inside?
No problem.
I'll just move my hand.
Don't be like that.
Counter clockwise.
Perfect...
Just right.
Did you keep those cheap panties?
What?
The underwear from Yin's car.
Wear it, It will turn me on.
Really?
I want some drugs.
Get me some drugs!
Suck it.
You like that?
Wake up!
Hurry!
- What's wrong? - What is it, Da-song?
I can't sleep.
Then come in.
We'll read you a story.
Come in.
It's very loud out here.
Okay, dad will stay up.
Father...
What should we do?
About what?
The man in the basement.
Don't worry about it.
What should we do now?
Hmm?
What should we do. What's your plan?
The people in the basement.
What are you going to do about it?
I'm not going back inside the basement.
Tomorrow we will go back to the house, understand?
Nobody knows what happened.
Act like nothing ever happened, okay?
I have a plan.
Just don't think about it, okay?
Come on, let's go home.
Let's go.
What are you doing? Come on!
- How is it? - Hurry up and pick up!
What happened?
The water channel overflowed.
That's our window.
Help me!
Ki-woo.
Ki-woo, close the window!
Were you electrocuted?
Hey...
Wait... Hold still.
Damn, my head is spinning.
Careful, Ki-jung.
It's a mess.
Dear...
I think I'm concussed.
I can't see you.
Dear,
Chong-sook...
Truly...
I thought she was a good person.
She kicked me.
Listen...
Chong-sook..
Ki-woo.
What are you doing?
HELP
Father.
Yes?
What's your plan?
What plan?
You said you had a plan.
What's your plan?
About the basement.
You know the only plan that won't fail?
No plan.
Why?
Life cannot be planned.
Look around.
Do you think they all planned to be sleeping in a gym with you?
In this moment...
We're all sleeping together on the floor.
There's no need for aa plan.
Without a plan, it won't go wrong.
No need to plan anything.
What happens next isn't important.
Countries are destroyed or sold...,
Nobody cares, understand?
Father...
Forgive me.
What for?
Everything.
It's all my fault.
What do you mean?
Why did you bring the stone?
This?
I've grown attached to it.
You should get some sleep.
I'm serious.
I'm become attached to the stone.
Ms. Jessica, sorry for calling you on a Sunday.
But are you free this afternoon?
We're holding a birthday party at the house today.
You're having a birthday party?
If you came, Da-song would be delighted.
There will be pasta, toast, salmon, and steak. You'll love it.
And there will also be fees from your classes.
You know what I mean?
- Mom. - Yes?
Is Kevin also invited to the party?
Of course. You can contact him to let him know.
My dear, you barely got any sleep. Get some rest.
I was exhausted yesterday.
The party will have drinks, right?
Yes, I'll get some at the wine shop.
Supermarket, bakery, flower shop.
I'll have to ask Mr. Kim for some help. I'll tell him to come over.
- It will count as overtime. - Perfect.
Everyone calm down! We will make the announcement soon.
IT'S DA-SONG'S BIRTHDAY TODAY YOU NEED TO COME
Sis...
There are 10 outdoor tables in the basement.
Bring them up and place them around Da-song's tent.
Here, I'll show you.
Keep Da-song's tent in the middle.
And build a wing formation.
You're aware of Admiral Yi Sun-shin's wing formation?
The Battle of Hansan.
Suppose the tent is a Japanese warship.
The tables should be set up like the wings.
Organized in a half circle.
Then put the grill near the tent.
Then, everything will be perfect.
Okay, Mr. Shun. Just invite everyone.
No problem.
There's no need to bring a gift.
No dress code.
It's just a small party. Sports clothes are fine.
No need to buy a gift.
There will be food and drinks.
You know how good my cooking is.
Right, drinking wine together in the sun.
Oh, I'll sing with pleasure.
Like this...
Slow down. He's still asleep.
The sky is perfectly clear. The air is fresh, too.
Thanks to all the rain from yesterday.
Yes.
Even though yesterdays trip was a mess, we can still have a fun party.
Thankfully.
Exactly, if it didn't rain yesterday, then we wouldn't be able to have a party today.
Really!
No need to bring a gift.
You can park in my garage.
Come on in.
Come in. Don't block the Mercedes.
You came! Long time no see!
I told you not to bring gifts.
What are you thinking about?
Hm?
When you kissed me, you were thinking about something else, right?
No.
Are you sure about that?
Wow.
Everything looks so beautiful.
Everybody just arrived...,
..but it's still so calm.
Everything looks natural.
Da-hye.
Yes?
Am I worthy?
Of what?
Do I deserve to be here?
Why? Where are you going?
I want to go downstairs.
Stay with me here.
I want to go down.
They're all so boring. Just stay with me.
I don't want to go.
But I should.
What's that?
People our age shouldn't have to do this.
What a shame.
I'm sorry, Mr. Kim.
But his mother made me. I can't refuse.
Our job is easy.
Jessica will bring out the birthday cake.., .
And we run out and chase her.
While brandishing this Indian ax.
Yeah.
Then Da-song will come out in his Indian costume as well...,
And will duel us with his ax.
Finally, he'll save Jessica and the cake.
Everyone will go crazy!
Something like that.
- How silly. - Your wife...
..seems distant.
Yes, that's true.
She's been busy preparing for the birthday.
You are also very busy.
However, you still love him.
Mr. Kim.
Today, I counted overtime.
You'll get payed as if you were working.
Have you gone out?
Not yet, but...
You should talk to the mother.
Find a middle ground.
Yes. But today, everyone is very enthusiastic.
I told you I have a plan.
- I'm going to check things out. - Wait up.
Bring this food out for them.
- They must be hungry. - Yes.
Let them eat.
Next year, you know.
There you are, Jessica. The food is delicious, isn't it?
I want to tell you something.
What is it?
So...
Da-song is a bit traumatized when it comes to his birthday cake.
It will cause some trouble since it's Today's main spotlight.
Hey, are you okay?
Hey...
Please! Please!
Kevin...
Happy Birthday, Da-song!
Surprise!
Shit...
Don't move!
Chong-sook! Come here!
- Ki-Jung! - I see you, Chong-sook!
Let me go! She's bleeding out!
Da-song!
Dear!
Let her go!
Father...
It hurts!
- Get to the hospital! - Hurry!
Mr. Kim, don't just sit there!
It will take too long to wait for an ambulance.
No need to keep holding it, father.
It hurts even more.
Give me the car keys!
Throw me the keys!
Ki-Jung!
Get off!
Hello, president Park.
Do you know who I am?
Greetings!
It was too late to apologize..,
You have the right be accompanied by a lawyer.
This man didn't really look like a cop.
Is he laughing?
Wait a minute.
This doctor didn't look much like a doctor either.
This is common after A concussion surgery.
He'll be laughing for a while.
Can you hear me?
Sir, can you hear me?
Do I need to repeat them?
- What? - The Miranda rights.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to be accompanied by a lawyer...
Look, he's laughing!
From what I hear...
Ki-Jung lost a lot of blood.
Based on the testimonies of the witnesses, the defendant is proven to have broken into people's homes...
Mother told me about the self-defence tactic.
Even if you receive punishment...
...it's simply probation.
Even when I visited Ki-Jung...
KIM KI-JUNG
..I couldn't keep from laughing.
Though..
When I look back on the past..,
I'm not laughing.
Murder rarely happens in such an elite area.
Especially a bum who was stabbed.
The police are having trouble narrowing down a motive for the attack.
Mr. Park was killed by his driver Kim, who always seemed to be very polite.
Police are still searching for Kim, who is now a fugitive.
Kim walked down the stairs outside the house.
Then disappeared into a residential area.
The police have checked CCTV footage, but couldn't find him.
There have been no witnesses.
As of now...
..Kim is still missing.
The truth is,
Mom and I still don't know where dad is.
The police kept following us.
Until the media stopped covering the story.
Then the police gave up.
Sometimes I still walk up that hill.
From the hill, I can see the house perfectly.
Even when it snows.
For some reason...
I keep wanting to see it.
Dash, dot, dot...
Dot, dot, dash, dash, dot...
Dash, dot, dash, dash, dot, dot...
Dot, dash, dot, dot...
Dash, dot, dot...
Dash, dot, dash, dot...
Son..
My child.
I hope you will find this message.
You're a good Scout,
So I sent it this way.
Is your recovery going well?
I hope your mother is keeping healthy.
My health is good.
Even though I cry whenever I think of Ki-Jung.
Until now, that day felt so strange.
As if it were a dream.
But no...
That's the day I woke up...
..to where life has lead me.
This house is now considered haunted
Of course, making it hard to sell.
I'm sorry, Mr. Park.
Before the new residents moved in, I was having a rough time.
But there were advantages to being in an empty house.
The maid. What's her name?
Moon-gwang.
I buried her.
I gave her the funeral that she deserved
Like a civilized human.
Whoever sold the house was smart.
Deceiving people who just came to Korea.
In order to finally sell the house.
The parents work for a foreign company. The son studies abroad
They are rarely ever home.
But their helpers are there 24 hours a day.
At midnight, I risk my life just to get to the kitchen.
I discovered that the Germans don't just eat sausage and drink beer.
Luckily.
Down here, everything is a blur.
Finally, today, I could write this message for you.
Then send it on a night like this.
I hope that one day you'll eventually see it.
I love you.
- Kaukah itu, Ki-woo? - Yes.
Father...
Today I made a plan.
A basic plan.
I want to work.
I want to make lots of money.
Go to college and then work. Marriage is also important.
The point is, I want to have lots of money.
The interior is very spacious.
I'm not just dropping people off to look at houses.
Until I have enough money to buy the house.
After I move in...,
..mom and I will lounge in the yard.
Because the sun is so beautiful.
And at that moment.
You can come upstairs.
But before that day arrives, take care of yourself, dad.
I love you.
