Oldboy (올드보이)

The following digital cinema has been digitally remastered

to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

What?

I said I want to tell you my story.

What the hell?

What's with the way you fucking talk?

Who the fuck are you?

My name is

Oh Dae-su.

Why did you hit on someone else's girlfriend?

Hold on. Did I hit on her?

- Mr. Oh Due-su! - Did I hit on her?

Fuck! Okay! I got it.

Just a minute. Okay! Okay!

Fuck.

Mr. Oh Dae-su please sit down.

He is totally drunk.

I hit on her? Hey, let me piss first.

I didn't hit on anyone!

- You son of a bitch! - This guy is a real headache.

- Asshole! - Mr. Oh Dae-su!

Sit down.

I'm very sorry.

- I gotta piss bad. - Great.

- Cute, huh? - Yeah, yeah. Sit down.

Today is my daughter's birthday.

I got her a birthday present.

Snatches of clouds float in the sky.

Ah, great A pleasure boat floats on the river.

My name Oh Dae-su means

"Just get by the day quietly." That's why I'm Oh Dae-su.

But shit,

why can't I get by this day quietly? Let me go! Huh!

- Shut the hell up! - Let me go!

Let go of me!

That guy really needs some prison time.

- Get away from me! - Hey, get him!

I'll make sure he doesn't get drunk and cause trouble again.

Have a nice day Officer.

He's usually a nice guy, but... Let's go.

I'll come visit you soon.

No need. Don't come back.

That's up to me you assholes.

Hey!

My sweet pea, it's daddy. Daddy got you a present.

I'll be home soon with your gift so wait a bit longer.

Let me talk to her.

- Good girl, good. - Give me the phone.

Sweet pea, Joo-hwan wants to talk to you.

You know Joo-hwan, right? Hold on.

Hi, sweetie. It's me, Joo-hwan.

So today's your birthday? Happy birthday.

I'll treat you to something nice tomorrow.

Hello? Oh, Ja-hyun, I'm sorry.

I know it's very late. Dae-su is on his way now.

I'm sorry. Yes? Hold on.

Dae-su, it's your wife.

Dae-su!

Dae-su!

Oh Dae-su!

Dae-su!

I really had enough! Stop fooling around and let's go already.

Dae-su!

Sir, sir.

Wait, come here. Come talk to me.

I won't ask you to let me go.

Just tell me why I'm here, okay? I should know the reason at least.

Shit, I've been locked up here for two months already.

Sir, wait, come here. What is this place?

Sir, just tell me how long I have to stay in here.

Just tell me that, huh? Sir!

Fuck you!

Come here, you asshole!

Son of a bitch.

I saw your face, asshole. You're dead when I get out.

Come here, asshole.

I'm sorry. I won't curse.

Just tell me. One month, two, or three?

Hey, where are you going?

Just tell me how long you son of a bitch!

I said tell me how long you asshole!

You son of a bitch! Fucking assholes!

If they had told me it was going to be 15 years,

could it have been easier to endure?

Or could it have not?

“Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone.“

When the melody plays gas comes out.

When the gas comes I fall asleep.

I found out later that it's the same Valium gas

Russian soldiers used on the Chechen terrorists.

When I wake up my hair has been cut.

I don't like the style really.

But they change my clothes and clean the place up.

Kind bastards.

One, two,

three.

It's too spicy...

I don't want spinach. You eat it.

I won't eat spinach.

Kim Ja-hyun's body was found deeply stabbed in the neck.

The brutality of the murder with no valuables missing

led the police to suspect that the motive was a personal grudge.

Her husband who disappeared a year ago is now on the wanted list.

According to neighbors the missing husband, Oh Dae-su,

drank often, causing trouble with his wife and the neighbors.

Blood found at the scene matched Oh Dae-su's.

Fresh fingerprints were found from a cup at the crime scene,

proving that Oh Dae-su recently visited, according to the police.

A missing family album, the only stolen item also backs their theories.

After three years

many wrinkles have formed on his face.

- That is around $61.000 - For a Sushi knife .

“Right always prevails“

If you stand aimlessly at a phone booth on a rainy day

and meet a man whose face is hidden under a purple umbrella.

I'd suggest that you get close to the TV. - "A listening device?"

The television is both a clock and a calendar.

It's your school, home, church,

friend

and lover.

But...

Countless nights may puss

But my heart is turned to you

Though I may shed my sad tears

It's still your face that I miss

But...

my lover's song

is too short.

This morning around 7:50 the Sungsoo Bridge

in Seoul suddenly collapsed in the middle.

I wrote about all the people I fought, tormented, and hurt.

This was both my prison journal

and an autobiography of my evil deeds.

I thought I had lived an average life

but I've sinned so much.

All I could think about at that moment was

the poor guy next door is eating with only one chopstick.

But...

But...

Who locked me up here?

Yoo Heung-sam?

Lee So-young or Kang Chang-suk?

Whoever it was, just wait.

Wait just a bit.

From the top of your head down to the tips of your toes

no one will be able to find any trace of your body on this earth.

Because I'm going to chew up every last piece of it.

One line for one year.

For this first time I have to ink in six lines.

It will be easier from next year.

The more the tattoos the shorter gets the chopstick.

The shorter gets the chopstick the bigger gets the hole in the watt.

Anyway,

time passes well.

9 years.

10 years.

11 years.

“The Ex-president Arrested“

“Hong Kong Handover Ceremony“

"Death of Princess Diana"

"Funeral: Westminster Abbey"

“IMF Financial Support Officially Approved“

12 years.

“Oath of Office“

“Gun Salute“

"President Kim Dae-jung Arrives in Pyongyang"

“Korea Enters World Cup Quarterfinals“

13 years.

“Elected: Rah Moo-hyun“

14 years.

I'll be out in a month.

I'll be out in only one month.

I'll be out.

I'll be out after a month. I'll be out of here.

One month, in just one month I'll be out.

I'll need money when I get out. What should I do?

Should I steal or rob?

What shall I eat first? Kimchi stew, grilled eels?

Anything as long as it's not fried dumplings.

Where is this place anyway?

I hear noisy traffic so this must be a city.

But the important thing is just what floor this is.

What if I break through the wall and it's the 52nd floor?

Even if I fall to my death I'm still getting out.

I'm getting out.

In one month, I'm getting oui.

Right now you're lying on a field.

When you hear the bell

you will turn your head and look down.

You will see an endless field of green grass.

The sun is shining bright and there's a gentle breeze.

It's a human being.

Don't stop me!

Mister,

even though I'm no better than a beast,

don't I have the right to live, no?

Mister,

even though I'm no better than a beast,

don't I have the right to live, no?

That phone booth alley was right here.
