Hey!

A Girl at My Door

Most of the income here

either comes from catching octopus,

or from farming oysters and fish.

The women, they usually mend nets,

or mend the tools needed for fishing,

that sort of thing.

Uh, who do we have here?

I told that woman not to ride

her bike on the main road!

Mrs. Jum-soon,

I told you not to ride that thing!

Or at least ride it sober.

Why don't you listen?

Buy me a bottle of rice wine

if you're gonna lecture me!

Dammit!

Who's this?

Is that your new bride?

Lucky you!

Have fun tonight!

Don't ride that thing,

it's dangerous!

See ya!

Damn, that was fast.

He told me he was gonna pick

them up.

Hey!

Why so loud?

You coming later?

We'll see.

Hey, tell your mother

to stop riding that thing!

You kidding me? I'm surprised

she doesn't sleep with it.

God, she's stubborn.

Oh, this is our new station chief.

Say hello.

She's a pretty one.

Sexy girl, you know?

Huh? Bastard, watch your mouth.

Bye!

Those guys in the car

they're mostly Southeast Asian

or Korean-Chinese.

They're the only ones

who'll work here.

It's a big problem.

The only people left in this village

are senior citizens.

That guy back there, Park Yong-ha.

He's the only one in town... young man.

I set out the basics for you.

If you need anything else, let me know.

I'll be fine.

Sorry to trouble you on

such short notice.

It's no trouble!

You'd be done faster if we helped.

It's okay. That's everything there.

They sell bottled water here, too.

I'll take that.

It's a bit heavy.

Don't look down on us

'cause you're from Seoul.

We have everything here!

Except for what we don't have...

Listen to you.

I'm getting tired of this,

you little b*tch.

You act like a f***ing whore.

Don't you avoid me!

Hey!

What are you doing there?

What the f***?

This brat was supposed to give me

something, but she won't.

What is it you want so badly

that you all have to gang up on her?

What school do you go to?

One more time, and

I'll bash your head in with this.

What school?

It's the middle school

down the road, right?

F***!

You go to the same school as them?

Why'd they do this to you?

What's your name?

It's Dohee.

Sun Dohee.

Now I know your name,

I can find them too.

If they bother you again, tell them

the police will come and get them, okay?

Don't be half-assed, do it in red.

Here they are.

They sure are.

The beauty salon's going to

make some cash today.

That's right!

Shave their heads nice and smooth.

Hello.

What do they eat that makes

them so black?

Girls, hurry up

and get ready for tonight!

Our chief is coming,

so we need time to prepare properly.

Right, Chief?

Look at her laugh.

I hope he doesn't get drunk

off his ass tonight.

Hey, it's Chief's turn now!

The verse is about to start.

Maybe Chief wants to do

a different song.

Hurry and come up here!

This song's already started.

She's an absolute killer

I'm so attractive

and loved by many

But I picked her out of the crowd

You're so beautiful

You're so sexy

You can't throw away bottles here.

I'll clean them all up.

Come over here, you little b*tch!

What the f***?

Are you okay?

Who the f*** are you?

Get away from my son!

Don't hurt him!

Who the hell are you?

- Leave my boy alone.

- Hey!

Leave my son alone

- Come here and get my cell phone.

- Leave my son alone!

It's in my pants pocket.

Leave him alone.

You're killing him!

Press 1 and hold it.

You're hurting my boy.

Hold it up to my ear.

This is Lee Young-nam.

Send a patrol car.

I'm at Park Yong-ha's house.

Hey. Wake up already.

Hey!

Get up.

You think this is your home?

Sh*t!

What's with you?

This isn't your living room.

- Sh*t.

- Don't act like...

I can't believe this.

Why'd you get so drunk?

You're lucky that

Chief went easy on you,

otherwise you'd have gone

straight to prison.

Why did you beat your child?

Who did?

When?

Don't beat your kid.

Child abuse by parents is a crime.

Last night, you were caught in the act.

What the f***.

I can't discipline my own daughter?

How dare you speak

to the chief that way?

Go, you've been warned.

- Hey.

- Get out of here.

Leave.

Get out.

Give me a ride.

You brought me here, so take me back.

Take me back.

Take him.

That girl isn't

Yong-ha's real daughter.

But he's been raising her

and sending her to school.

He drinks every so often

and gets a bit deranged.

But he takes care of

everything around town.

This town would not run

properly without him.

So we should allow him

to abuse his child?

That's not what I'm saying.

Alcohol is the problem.

Sun Dohee!

Come over here.

How often does your father

hit you like that?

Are you mute?

Why don't you talk?

You can't let him beat you

that way.

He doesn't hit me

when he doesn't drink.

- Dohee.

- Yes?

When an adult hits a child,

it's a very bad thing.

If someone beats you that hard,

you need to tell someone, okay?

Miss...

Is it okay if I try the hat on?

Salute!

If you're gonna do it,

do it right. Like this.

You f***ing little b*tch!

How dare you stand there blabbering?

Come here, you filthy mutt.

Damn b*tch.

Stop right there!

You no good f***ing b*tch,

got no respect.

Stop babbling, you f***er!

B*tch!

You dirty little b*tch.

Did you know the alumni association

was called because of you?

Investigations have been started,

a lot of people are in hot water.

I'm sorry.
