The first 200 lines.
Let me tell you a funny story.
Today is the 30th anniversary of my death.
I died on a stream near the mine shaft.
The mine was still operating then,
So I was drowned in the rust-filled water.
The mines started perishing when gold teeth grow in their mouth.
Damn... gold teeth.
And rich bastards gathered around town for those "gold teeth."
It was more profitable to take out people's teeth than to dig.
At first they didn't want to sell them, but what could they do?
Some made money selling teeth, then everybody wanted to sell.
Nobody would work at the mine, and it closed.
Once it closed, people without gold teeth lost their jobs.
Shit, not having a gold tooth a sin was.
Some even killed themselves with poison.
Some families killed themselves altogether.
My family had gold teeth, but I never sold any of them!
I never sell our body for money!
I don't make money that easily. I make money only with blood and sweat!
My country is rich now because I worked so hard.
Today you must remember me.
You must be thankful.
Is the world still in confusion?
I heard a casino is coming into town.
It's pretty quiet here.
30 years ago I knew so many people here.
Now I'm alone.
But I'll be remembered by...
My son, Jang Sangu.
What can a miner's son do for living?
He was a foreman in the mine.
He had many men under him.
My second son.
This mess is all her fault.
How could she abandon her husband?
She's worse than a beast.
You're the only one who remember me.
You are my son.
Can we shop with that money?
It seems little.
Don't worry about money.
We'll earn it somewhere, right?
This damn town is always under construction.
What can they build more in this small town?
Just a waste of money...
No dream?
No tomorrow?
Here is your paradise.
Hey.
Get me a rice soup along with a drink.
You didn't pay last time.
No more free meal.
I'll pay when I get money.
So come again with money.
It's not because he has no money.
But because he should spend it for me!
Everybody is blind with money.
It just changed so much.
Long time ago this street was crowded.
Now nobody wants to live here.
Thousands of miners worked there.
The rich took what they wanted and now deserted it.
Damn, the rich destroyed this town.
Everything has changed since they came here.
There were many jobs here but not a job now.
You're still here.
Your brother left for Seoul.
But you're still here...
...to remember me, right?
Completely rotten.
This man's father made money selling teeth.
My family has fallen because of his father.
He'd better die in hell.
You can gargle now.
Gargle your mouth!
Pulling out poor people's teeth for money?
Like father, like son.
Here, recharge this.
After washing this tooth.
You did a lot today.
Here, 100 thousand won.
Is this all?
It's enough for rotten tooth.
No refund, you know.
Anything I can help today?
You should have come earlier.
I already have a worker today.
Rude bastard, just like his father.
I really need money today.
Bring it if you finish.
It's hard to break even because price of gold decreases.
It's getting worse everyday.
Well done.
Go rest up.
I should buy some food for my father's memorial table.
Bastard. Don't look down on my son.
Today's the delivery day.
I'm very busy today.
I heard Mr. Ku owed you some money.
True.
Mr. Ku sold his 3 teeth this morning. You can get your money from him.
Don't tell him I told you so.
Right, Ku borrowed a million won from you.
Why didn't I remember that?
He borrowed some money at gambling before.
Hey, Ku. My money.
What money?
Damn, a million won you borrowed from me!
I have no money now.
You sold your gold teeth to the teeth dealer?
No, I didn't.
He said you sold 3 gold teeth.
I did, but...
He just paid 500 thousand for them
telling mines are old.
He knows nothing but money.
Such a greedy asshole!
Stop nonsense. Give me what you got.
- Hold on. - Give it to me.
I'll make a million won with this and pay you back.
How can you make a million won out of 500 thousand?
All these people want to make money too.
What are they doing here?
The casino opens today.
Look behind you! More people are lined up.
Here comes the bus.
I'll double the money in the casio, and pay you a million won.
Everyone is crazy about the casino.
They all want easy money.
See you later when I'm rich.
Hey, Captain Hong. Aren't you cold?
What the hell are you doing?
Are you going to the casino too?
Every idiot is fucking crazy for it.
Fuck you, bitch.
Are you still drinking and making a mess?
I see why your wife left you.
Shut up, bitch!
You betrayed your labor union and still have self-respect?
Fuck you.
You're applying for abandoned mine manager?
I'm going there to protest. I'm gonna kill you if I see you there.
Shit, I don't do that stuff.
Fucking bitch, protest until you die.
Finished already?
Where's my money?
I lost all.
You just went in.
The day goes by so quickly.
The day went by? What about my memorial day?
Bullshit!
What about my a million won?
Take it easy. Actually I got a job yesterday.
Yesterday? No jobs anymore in this town!
Tomorrow Company hired me as an abandoned mine manager.
I'll pay you back when I get my earnest money.
Your Earnest money? How much is it?
A million won! The same amount, damn.
Got a job?
He must be telling lies not to pay back.
The draw for the job is made toady.
5 minutes left.
Was it yesterday?
Then is yesterday today?
The winner is...
...Mr. Ku Sedong!
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Everything's all set up, shit.
We're always in open arms for you.
Go home.
Son, Ku got his earnest money.
Get your a million won
before he takes it and runs again.
Give me my money.
I haven't got it yet.
Come to the repair shop later and I'll give it to you.
Now I have to stop by somewhere.
What's wrong with him?
Crazy because of too much coal dust?
The repair shop was behind the 8th shaft?
Oh no.
Isn't' this Mr. Ku?
Oh, this is not good.
Now that the contractor is dead,
who's going to manage the abandoned mine?
Didn't Ku owe some money to you?
Yes, he did.
You want to receive that money?
Why don't we go inside and talk?
That way...
Son, you must be careful.
Men in suits don't even work and take other's money.
He looks fine but he's a swindler.
He just talks and talks...
Let me to introduce myself.
I'm Kang, a secretary to Mr. Richard, the president of Tomorrow Co.
Tomorrow Co?
Tomorrow Casino?
Bold investment! Bold tomorrow!
Invest Tomorrow! Tomorrow...
