The Host Page #2

Synopsis: The film revolves around Park Hee-bong, a man in his late 60s. He runs a small snack bar on the banks of the Han River and lives with his two sons, one daughter, and one granddaughter. The Parks seem to lead a quite ordinary and peaceful life, but maybe they are a bit poorer than the average Seoulite. Hee-bong's elder son Gang-du is an immature and incompetent man in his 40s, whose wife left home long ago. Nam-il is the youngest son, an unemployed grumbler, and daughter Nam-joo is an archery medalist and member of the national team. One day, an unidentified monster suddenly appears from the depths of the Han River and spreads panic and death, and Gang-du's daughter Hyun-seo is carried off by the monster and disappears. All of the family members are in a great agony because they lost someone very dear to them. But when they find out she is still alive, they resolve to save her.

So you screwed up?

I heard everything.

You grabbed some other girl's hand?

You left Hyun-seo on the ground?

Your own daughter!

You call yourself a f***ing father?

You son of a b*tch!

I thought it was Hyun-seo's hand.

She's so pretty in that photo.

She looks just like...

...her mom in that photo.

Do you think her mom even knows...

...that she died?

Not a chance.

It's been 13 years since

she popped out the baby...

...and ran off.

I'd run away too, damn it.

Are you sleeping?

- Huh?

- Nam-il.

- You can sleep at a time like this?

- What are you doing to your brother?

In a word...

Her birth was an accident...

...and so was her death.

Old people have always said...

...that an animal

which kills a human...

...should be torn limb from limb.

That it's a human's duty to do so.

Until I slit that beast's stomach...

...and at least find Hyun-seo's body...

...I'll never leave this world in peace.

Attention, please!

Ladies and gentlemen...

...those of you

present at the river incident...

There are probably a lot of you here.

- This is an important matter

of life and death.

Those who were at the scene...

...or those who have come

in contact with these people...

...raise your hands!

This isn't something you should hide.

Raise your hands.

If you go home, it might affect

your families.

Raise them high!

Hey, mister.

What the hell is going on here?

F***, shouldn't you start by

explaining what's happening?

Yeah, explain!

An explanation should be...

...appearing on the TV news now.

To save time, we'll let the news

serve as explanation.

Okay, the news...

...the news...

...isn't on now.

Sh*t!

Anyway...

...from this moment...

...you fall under our control...

...so start moving!

This is for your own safety.

We have...

...transport buses

waiting outside now.

Okay, please

move toward the buses...

...in an orderly fashion.

That's right.

Watch your children.

Oh, did anyone here touch

or come into...

...direct contact with the creature?

Um...

I didn't touch it.

But some of its blood got

sprayed in my face.

Don't move! Tell him to freeze!

Grab him! Grab that one!

Please remain calm, people.

What are you doing?

- My son didn't touch anything!

- Let's go!

Gang-du! Get out of there!

- Dad!

- Gang-du!

- Don't go!

- Dad!

Gang-du, don't worry.

I'm coming with you.

Stop there!

Hey, number 31! Stop!

This is a news flash.

It now appears that the creature,

which disappeared after its attack...

...on surprised park-goers today...

...is far more dangerous than

previously assumed.

U.S. Army Sergeant Donald White...

...who fought bravely

with the creature...

...and lost an arm in the process...
