"Hey, stop it!" "Am I wrong?" "That's enough !" "You're the one who's really having it hard." "What a fucking bastard." "Chang-soo only went to high school, but he works hard killing cockroaches." "Didn't you know, you roach?" "Hey." "What?" "What is it?" "What about 'only high school'?" "I was just making a point." "Forget it." "Hey!" "Yeah, you must be happy to have gone to grad school." "It must suck that all your friends are either unemployed or only went to high school." "You must be really embarrassed." "This bastard must be drunk." "Hey!" "Are you my friend?" "Can friends talk like that?" " Chang-soo, don't be like Tae-oh." " Wait a minute!" "High school?" "I could say that because we're friends." "Yeah, because we're friends!" "Because we're friends, you should watch your mouth." "Why don't you talk bad about homos to Joon-chul then?" "What's he talking about?" "This bastard must be really drunk." "Didn't you tell Woo-shik?" "That's enough !" "Hey, tell me." "Tell me everything !" "Now I see." "So he didn't tell you." "Stop it, damn it!" "Joon-chul." "Why?"

"Joon-chul !" "Joon-chul !" "Are you a homo, man?" "Hey, Woo-shik." "You bastard, pull yourself together." "Hey, I know you're successful." "But you aren't that successful to hurt your friends." "Crazy bastard." "Tae-oh's jobless, but he's still Tae-oh." "Joon-chul's gay, but he's still Joon-chul." "I didn't go to college, but I'm still Chang-soo." "We've been friends for 15 years." "You acted like a big shot after becoming class monitor." "And acted like a big shot after you went to college!" "Hey, but you still had us." "When you went into a big company, and acted like a big shot, we took in everything, you bastard !" "I'm not finished yet." "Come here." "And what did you say to Tae-oh's wife on their wedding?" "What did I say?" "Hey, no matter how drunk you were..." "What?" "She can fix her ugly face because she makes a lot of money." "Can someone say that to a friend's wife?" "Can they?" "Do you also remember what you said when I said I'd marry Hyae-jin?" "Hey, do you remember?" "That was just a joke, you asshole!" "Joke?" "Shit." "How could she marry a commercial high school grad?" "Hey asshole!" "Me being your friend..." "Son of a bitch..." "You make me sick." "I regret being your friend, you bastard !" "Son of a bitch..." "Regret?" "Regret?" "I regret it, too!" "You son of a bitch !" "You call yourselves men, you sons of bitches?" "But being a homo is wrong, damn it." "Sir, you're really drunk." "Hey, I have money, boy." "You should go home." "It's also raining." "Hey, I just wanna chat!" "But it's a different table." "Hey, I'll just have one drink, so don't worry." "Don't worry, boy." "When will we wrap up, damn it?" "Hey guys." "Hey guys." "I came over to have a drink." "Here's a drink." "And here's one for you." "Cheers!" "You see, I'm upset at being mistreated." "You know because you're men." "What did I do wrong until now?" "Was it wrong to be a good student?" "Or, is it that wrong that I'm so successful?" "Then they should've worked hard like me." "They couldn't turn out like me." "so is it right for them to mock me?" "And I heard something new today." "Joon-chul is one of my friends." "Tall guy." "That Joon-chul." "That bastard is a homo." "A homo." "Oh boy, how can he be a homo at a time like this?" "He shouldn't be a homo, damn it." "I've been friends with Joon-chul for 20 years." "To be frank, I could catch a disease from him." "But I'll bear it." "I will." "I'll bear it!" "Why?" "Because I'm a man." "I'll bear it because I'm a man." "These days, Korean men should pull their acts together." "To be honest, girls are done for after they marry." "But men are different." "Men are different!" "I'm sorry." "It's been a long time since I had a drink with my friends." "But those bastards abandoned me." "So I'm really sad." "I feel so sad." "But I won't cry." "Men cry only three times." "First." "When they are born." "Second !" "When their parents pass away." "Third." "They cry!" "But I won't cry." "No way." "Hey, let's have a drink." "Cheers!" "Why?" "You know because you're men." "Because you're men." "Oh goodness." "What's going on?" "Who's this guy?"

"Gross." "What are you talking about?" "You know what I'm talking about." "If they bury them right away, the villagers are so hungry they dig the bodies up, and eat the human flesh." " No way."

"So when I go home stinking of sweat, she thinks strangely of it." "When she asked me why a city hall worker works so late," "I told her that it's because of managing the facilities." "I tell her that I have to check places like bridges or subways where people don't walk to at night." "Yes, this is Chief Kim of room one." "Yes, sir." "Room three's key?" "You left it here?"

"Hey, think you're working at a company?" "You think any of these guys down here can make it for their wives' birthday?" "You're making me upset." "I'm not saying that I have to just that I haven't gone home lately." "I understand, sir." "Go back to work." "You can't make those bastards rest." "To make them squeal continuously you can't rest as well." "Yes, sir." "Also..." "What now?" "It's about this month's pay." "I thought I was the only one who didn't get his bonus this month, but Chief Cho and Park didn't as well." "Oh, that?" "You weren't notified?" "Contract workers won't get bonuses from now on." "Since you're not fully-employed there's a problem with the paper work." "Oh yeah based on performance they're preparing some year-end reward or bonus." "So don't worry and work hard." "Our job is usually unrewarding." "What we do down here doesn't exist up there." "Working full-time down here is no help later." "You know well." "Understand and be patient."

"You're from Seoul University?" "Lucky you." "You'll probably get a good job later." "And make a lot of money." "And work for only eight hours." "You'll get medical insurance and scholarships for your kids." "Contract workers like us don't get those benefits." "Hey, protest for people like us working in this field later." "Temporary workers are people, too!" "And don't say crap like for the people or for democracy." "Yes." "You will?" "Yes." "Drink." "It's okay." "It's not expired." "I normally don't drink milk." "Don't breathe so deeply." "When we drown your head in the tub your breath..." "Don't inhale." "We don't count the time when we drown you." "We just lift up the head after we see bubbles." "People try to withstand it longer" "by breathing hard beforehand, but you don't need to." "The same goes for the electrical shock." "Instead of screaming, do it quietly." "Watch carefully." "If they put it," "Like this." "Then we stop right away." "You probably know already, but you scream at first and then you can't later, right?" "Yes." "That's what I mean." "Don't scream from the beginning." "Got it?" "Why are you telling me everything?" "You won't say anything no matter what I do anyway." "I'll be getting off later, and the next guy will come in then do the same." "We're exhausted, too." "And so are you." "So if you do like I said it'll be easier for both you and us." "What is your name?" "My name?" "We're not supposed to tell you our names, dummy." "We're just all called Chiefs." "No promotions." "We're all Chiefs no matter the age." "I'm Kim Day-lee." "My name's Day-lee, so I work even weekends." "We have four hours left to go." "And I can't get up if I sleep." "So what do we do?" "Go to sleep." "I'll wake you up." "Aren't you sleepy?" "I'm in so much pain, I can't sleep." "Hearing you say that makes me sorry." "Do you play omokdu?" "Maybe because you're from Seoul University, you're pretty good." "Let's play again." "What are you doing?" "Right, well..." "Why are his handcuffs free?" "And what's this?" "Oh this, well..." "Shall we continue?" "What?" "My confession." "I'll finish it." "What?" "He's making a confession?" "These are the participants at the meeting." "The ranks were generally like this." "This is me, and next to me is Lee Choon-shik, a law student." "In front is philosophy major Park Young-man." "Next to him is Joo Duk-gi student body president." "Who are the black pieces?" "Women students." "So if the women stand in threes or fours like this, then the guys are on both sides like this." "Yes." "The women can't stand in fives, whether it's straight or diagonally." "Really?" "Yes." "Never." "These bastards." "You never seemed like you'd squeal but why did you?" "I don't know those names, either." "I just made them up." "You'll get caught later, dummy." "It's okay." "They won't treat me any worse." "When the good times come, jobs like yours will disappear." "So look for another type of job in advance." "My replacement uses the tub often." "If..." "Hello, Chief Kim." "Sorry, I got caught up in traffic." "Stayed up all night again?" "The same as always." "This bastard looks like he gave you a hard time all night." "But I heard he squealed quite a bit." "Yeah." "We talked a lot." "Makes it easier for me." "Take care." "Okay." "Bye." "Let's see, where shall we start?" "You must be worn out." "What?"

"Because people used words that were English, Japanese, or Korean." "But we speak primarily Chinese in China." "So we didn't know the names of things when they asked for them." "They'd ask for a wrench and we'd ask what it is?" "Then they'd get mad because we didn't know." "If I asked again, they'd say curse me out." "I just thoughthe was calling me bad names." "They'd say all kinds of stuff." "So after I work for a day and came back to my lodge," "I really wanted to go back home." "Fuck, I was disgraced." "I'd hear fuck, fuck, many times but I didn't know what it meant." "When money came out, they paid the wages to Korean laborers." "Then they paid costs for food equipment fees and so on." "But they didn't pay us two Chinese Koreans." "They'd say later that they ran out and decided to pay us next time." "So what could I say if they didn't have the money?" "Then they kept saying no money, will pay you later, and later." "Four or five years have passed since then." "Then, in order to get the money, I went to the Ministry of Labor." "But the ministry told me that three years have already passed, so you can't get the money." "One Chinese Korean spray-painted this on the company's wall." "'The heavens will punish President Kim XX. '" "' My soul will harass you forever. '" "'Korea is so sad. '" "And he burned himself after writing his name, Kim In-seong." "I think I'll return to my home next year." "I'm gonna blow that place upbefore I go." "Or kill all those bastards before I go." "I won't be quiet." "I didn't get my 30 million won." "This isn't a simple problem." "We were on strike at the Memorial Hall at that time." "The crack down had just startedand it was very strict." "We did the strike not to avoid the crack down, but to let society know about Chinese Koreans." "Also, we wanted revisions madeto the Overseas Koreans Law by 2003." "We went there to protest it." "Koreans who came from Americagot a two-year visa." "They can extend it twiceand stay for six years." "They're able to do everything, such as work legally and buy land." "But we Chinese Koreans don't have the same rights." "So the rich are considered overseas Koreans." "But the poor ones are disowned like orphans." "Think about when you take a bus or subway." "We're the same as convicts because we stay here illegally." "We aren't free to walk around." "The moment we're checked, it's the end for us." "I don't worry about being caught." "We worked very hard." "Are we guilty for helping buildthe new cities," "Ilsan and Bundang?" "Who constructed Ilsan and Bundang?" "It wasn't possible without Chinese Koreans." "My mother died after I came here but I couldn't go." "My wife died." "I couldn't even go after my wife died." "My brother died." "I couldn't go again." "I didn't have the fare to go." "If I go, I'll be broke." "Can't describe how much I wanna go." "But if I go," "I can't come back to Korea." "And I'll be a beggar if I go home." "This is the neighborhood where Kim Won-seop lived." "250 households lived here." "After China's open-door policy, people moved to the city." "Most young people left." "Only old people stayed behind." "Also, middle-aged people moved to Korea." "Only 150 households live here now." "They were Northeast Anti-Japanese Heroes." "They're called independence troops in Korea." "So the troops came to the Chinese Koreans' village." "They connected with us and received rice and salt." "We did so many things for the Anti-Japanese Heroes." "South Koreans are worse than the damn Japanese." "How could they mistreat the same Koreans?" "If someone couldn't work well, they didn't teach us how to do it they'd kick us in the butt." "They acted much worse than the damn Japanese." "People changed their minds a lot." "Many families broke up after they left." "They didn't come back even if they made money in Korea." "Many things in their lives were broken up." "So most Chinese Koreans were emotionally unstable." "Won-seop tried to live well." "He did needlework." "He made tofu." "He raised pigs." "He did these things to live well." "But it didn't work out." "Finally, he went to Korea since it was hard to make money." "He wanted to earn money in Korea to raise his kids well." "And he didn't want to make his wife suffer from poverty." "But it didn't happen that way in the end." "It was 1 : 15 am when he first called 119." "Hello?" "I'm at Jongro Avenue 4 on the way to Changduk Palace." "Sir, would you speak more clearly?" "Please call an ambulance a police car." "An ambulance or a police car?" "Police car, please." "This is 119 for fires, call 112." "Kim Won-seop is an introvert and doesn't talk much." "Seeing that he called 119 it must've been a serious emergency." "But the word ambulance isn't commonly used in China." "So I think he called for a police car." "This is the police." "Hello?" "Please send a car." "I can't go home." "Pardon?" "Why can't you go home?" "I'm too weak." "Why are you weak?" "I haven't eaten in two days." "My legs are trembling." "I'm sitting right now." "Then take a taxi, sir." "You'd have to give me money." "I don't have money." "So what do you want me to do?" "Please send a car." "You'd better take a taxi." "On the 112 police call records, he called twelve times from 1 :23 am to 4:30 am." "But since he can't be traced, the police told him to take a taxi, or call through a pay phone." "I think they mistook him for a drunk guy making prank calls." "At 5:30 am on Hyehwa Street in Seoul a street cleaner found the body of a 46-year old Chinese Korean man named Kim and reported it to the police." "The body was found just 50 meters from the police station." "In Kim Won-seop's belongings was a family photo." "What I remembered the most were the words 'legal entry' written in his pocket book." "I can't forget those words he wrote down even now." "Legal entry" "Many years ago to avoid hunger and poverty" "Chinese Koreans roamed China." "They're coming back to Korea to avoid poverty again." "But Chinese Koreans like Kim Won-seop must pay a 10 million won broker's fee because they're not Koreans by law." "If that doesn't work, then they're dangerously smuggled in." "Even though Kim Won-seop froze to death," "I think he's lucky compared to other Chinese Koreans." "There are a lot of unidentified bodies." "People don't know what their names are and where they're from." "Kim Won-seop didn't get his overdue wages." "But the government's heartless and sudden policy that deports illegal immigrants unconditionally probably made him very nervous and frightened." "China catches North Korean defectors and deports them to North Korean camps." "South Koreans say it's a violation of human rights." "If he goes back to China he'll sit on a mound of debt." "It's no different from murder." "Have they ever thought of that?" "We will lodge a complaint for Kim Won-seop." "The unfair Overseas Koreans Law and deportation policy murdered Kim Won-seop." "It's comrade Kim Won-seop's wish !" "Stop the deportation !" "It's comrade Kim Won-seop's wish !" "Stop the deportation !" "It's comrade Kim Won-seop's wish !" "Secure legal entry!" "It's comrade Kim Won-seop's wish !" "Secure legal entry!" "It's comrade Kim Won-seop's wish !" "Revise the Overseas Koreans Law!" "The Overseas Koreans Law was revised in March 2004." "But it didn 't allow legal entry for Koreans from China and Russia." "Every year, 100 Chinese Koreans were found dead from unnatural causes or suicide." "Kim Won-seop's death is currently pending in court for a compensation suit." "produced by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea directed by kim Dong-won" "director of photographers kim Seok-jeong and JUNG ll-gun lighting director kim Gi-moon" "music by LEE Sang-yun producer LEE Jin-sook" "starring jin Bok-ja and shin Hae-jin" "We dedicate this film to the spirit of the departed Kim Won-seop." "Thank you to the Chinese Koreans who took a risk to appear in this film." "We hope legal entry will materialize as soon as possible."
