BOYHOOD
EPISODE 6. EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE
You son of a bitch.
Fucker.
Who do you think you are gettin' cheeky with the White Tiger?
I usually let the guys handle this,
but I gotta teach you a special lesson.
Think of it as an honor.
What the hell?
Are you smirking?
You bastard.
It ain't fair to catch us off guard like that, you piece of shit.
Bring it on!
What just happened?
- Jang Byeong-tae! - I speak from the heart.
- Jang Byeong-tae! - Jang Byeong-tae!
I swear this on my life.
What are y'all lookin' at?
What...
- Is that Cheol-hong? - I think it is.
Fuck.
What the hell is going on?
I thought about laying low for a change.
But nothing tastes better
than a bloody cigarette.
Fuck.
Byeong-tae.
Did you tell them to teach me a lesson?
I thought of you as a real friend and treated you right.
You took Seon-hwa from me!
Is this about her?
You value her more than your life?
I doubt it.
Don't you remember?
I saw your face clearly
when you ran into me on your bicycle.
I guess you didn't see mine.
Who's the White Tiger of Asan?
Is it you?
No.
It ain't me.
Speak up.
Who's the White Tiger of Asan?
You're the White Tiger of Asan.
You're the White Tiger, Gyeong-tae.
- What? - What is he saying?
Are you serious?
That's right.
I'm the White Tiger of Asan.
So who are you?
I'm nothing.
I'm Jang Byeong-tae, the Loser of Onyang.
Where's he going?
Get moving.
- Wait. - You fucker.
I knew something was fishy.
You talked funny and smoked funny too.
You fucking scammed us all this time.
- You fucking-- - That's enough.
Let's go eat.
Come with us, Byeong-tae.
What?
Do I stay or go?
That's enough.
It's too much.
Jeez.
Why's everyone so down?
Is this a funeral?
Should I make this someone's funeral?
Welcome to Buyeo Agricultural High School with a 60-year history, Gyeong-tae.
- Welcome. - Welcome.
To express how sorry he is for scamming y'all,
Byeong-tae's gonna pay for this meal.
But I don't got money.
Eat up.
- I'm broke. - Thanks, you bastard.
I didn't bring money.
- Here's the yangjangpi. - What?
- Have a drink. - Sure.
This ain't for you.
Once we're done,
have Seon-hwa come out.
Seon-hwa?
Why?
Just do as I say.
Okay.
I'm so full.
Thank you, sir.
Y'all ate a lot today.
Jjajangmyeon, dumplings, tangsuyuk,
stir-fried meatballs, yangjangpi,
and eight bottles of soju.
If we add all that up,
it's 36,000 won.
- Wait, 36,000 won? - Yeah.
The thing is,
I gotta pay for all this.
- And? - Well...
Can I pay you next time?
What a strange kid.
All right then.
Y'all go to Agricultural High, right?
What's your grade and class?
Eleventh grade, class three.
All right, what's your name?
- Jang Byeong-tae. - All right.
JANG BYEONG-TAE 36,000 WON
When will you pay me?
Soon.
I'll go to your school if you don't pay me, okay?
- Okay. - Go on then.
- Hello? - Hey, Seon-hwa.
Got a lighter?
- Fuck. - You okay?
Buyeo's a small town.
And since we're all cooped up here,
there's bound to be fights.
Understand?
So we gotta pay you 10,000 won every month, right?
Every week?
We pay you 60,000 won a month.
I better get it every fifth of the month.
Let's go.
Hang on.
You gotta give me what you got right now.
Each class should pay 5,000 won a day.
Since there are four classes,
that's 20,000 won a day.
Why is everyone so quiet?
That adds up to 600,000 won a month.
Isn't it too much?
We're an Agricultural High.
Everybody's poor.
We're all here because we couldn't afford to go to any other school.
I think it's too much to take 600,000 won a month from such kids.
You don't wanna do it?
Who rules class one?
- Me. - The Weasel?
You take class one.
- What about class two? - Me.
Curly, you take class two.
Cheol-hong, you take class four.
- And class three? - Johnny Yune.
Not you.
Byeong-tae.
You take it.
Me?
No one will listen to me.
What's going on?
What happened to you?
Did you get in a fight?
Gyeong-tae has something to say to you.
What is it?
It ain't me.
Byeong-tae has something to say.
He's been lying to you.
You gon' lie to your grave?
Let's kill him.
Seon-hwa.
- I'm actually... - God damn it.
Speak up.
I'm...
not the White Tiger of Asan.
I'm Bum-tae.
Then...
who's the White Tiger of Asan?
Gyeong-tae.
What else do you gotta tell her?
From now on,
I'm the White Tiger's bitch.
Speak the hell up.
I, Bum-tae,
am now the White Tiger's bitch!
This is so embarrassing.
Asshole.
You might as well have some fun while you're out.
Get lost, you fuckers.
Come here, you little shit.
Hey, carry these.
Take them.
Motherfucker.
Son of a bitch.
Hand it over.
So you played us for fools?
What were you thinking?
Either leave our school or lay low like a dead man.
I'll kill you if I ever see you.
Got it?
Yeah.
Got it, you fucking asshole?
Got it.
God damn.
I know how it feels.
That crappy feeling when you feel like
you've become a fake too.
Have a drink.
Why are you so mad?
I got played
like a complete fool.
You ain't a fool.
It's not your fault.
You were just naive.
That bastard's gotta pay for this.
I'm gonna punish him.
So don't worry.
You lied to me too.
Then you'll have to punish me.
How?
I'll be there for you
no matter where or when.
That's how.
Goodness.
Always tossing in his sleep.
Should I go to school...
or should I not?
I'm off to school.
What's up?
Hey.
Aren't you forgetting something?
What?
What was that?
All he does is get beat up.
Where's my Yakult?
Asshole.
If I quit school,
Mom is gonna flip out.
But I'm afraid to go.
This is drivin' me nuts.
Jeez.
The world is so beautiful...
and I'm such a big loser.
You better not look at me like that.
Why?
I feel like I'm gonna melt.
You bitch.
You were supposed to be my girlfriend.
Seon-hwa...
I'm telling you, you're mistaken.
This is so frustrating!
Anyway, I trust y'all to keep it a secret.
All right.
- See you tomorrow. - Bye.
Fuck, you scared me.
What?
What do you want?
Didn't you like me?
Who are you?
You forgot who I am?
I'm Byeong-tae,
your bodyguard.
Don't be ridiculous.
Let me ask you one thing.
Did you actually like me?
Screw this shit.
This expensive wallet did no wrong.
This is real.
It's got the mark on it.
But you're a fake.
Get lost, will you?
BUYEO INTERCITY BUS TERMINAL
How can I help you?
I want to go to Seoul.
Where in Seoul?
Well...
How many Seouls are there?
Express bus terminal, Yongsan, and Sangbong.
Which of the three terminals is it?
What's the cheapest?
Sangbong Terminal.
It's 1,720 won.
- Are you a student? - Yes.
- Show me your ID. - Out of my way.
One ticket to Cheonan.
- Cheonan? - That's right.
- You shouldn't cut in line. - All right.
Here you go.
I got 2,500 won.
What's 2,500 minus 1,720?
How much would I have left?
I'll have nothing once I get a bowl of jjajangmyeon there.
What do I do then?
Screw it.
Whatever happens, happens.
- One ticket to Sangbong. - All right.
Where are you off to?
Seoul.
What about the money you owe?
Wait a second.
If you're going to Seoul, you probably got more money.
Give me your wallet.
You owed me 36,000 won.
Subtract 2,500 won from that, and it's 33,500 won now.
Bring over 5,000 won by this Sunday.
- Got it? - Okay.
You should thank me for not charging interest.
Could you move aside if you're not gonna buy a ticket?
You're in the way.
I'll come back next time.
Screw this world.
Even running away is for rich kids only.
Ain't that the fake White Tiger?
I got him.
Come here.
You little shit.
How dare you take Seon-hwa from me?
You fucking bastard.
You know what pisses us off the most?
It's that we got whooped by a fake.
And I lost my Seon-hwa
to a fucking scam artist.
That pisses me off even more.
Why did Seon-hwa even go out with a fucking bum like you?
We better not catch you again.
We'll beat your ass every time we see you, got it?
Where were you all day?
I ain't one to talk, but what's gonna happen to you?
I don't know anymore.
Life was better when you were the White Tiger.
What do I do now?
How do I go to school?
Maybe I should just quit.
I don't know if you know this,
but you feel yourself getting stronger when you get beat up enough.
After a while, you figure out how certain bastards whoop you
and what pisses them off.
Letting life do what it wants to you ain't too bad, you know?
Look how I turned out living like that.
I'm proud of you.
That's bull.
Hey.
Why aren't you giving me Yakult these days?
- What? - I mean,
you used to give me one every morning but not anymore.
Word spread all over Buyeo
that the real White Tiger whooped the fake one.
That's why I warned you!
I told you not to get cheeky with all the scary bastards out there.
Why are you getting mad at the victim?
It's just...
You get beat up so much
that you keep forgetting my Yakult!
Just take--
Do you also gotta rip me off and whoop me?
You also think I'm a joke?
I'm sick and tired of this.
Screw this.
No, it's not that.
Starting today, I'll be your Yakult man.
You piece of shit.
Hey.
If I catch you peepin' again, I'll pluck your damn eyes out.
But that's the only way I can look at you!
You asshole.
There he is.
Hurry, your homeroom teacher is here.
What brings you here?
Why were you absent today?
Ma'am, you're shooting lasers from your eyes.
You're gonna burn him.
Then I'll just put the fire out.
I'm here because you were absent without notice.
You're usually at school every day.
Tell me if something's going on.
I don't know if you know,
but Byeong-tae's a candidate to be student president.
President of the whole school?
That's right.
The kids say you're as good as elected.
Right, Byeong-tae?
- I'm back. - Hey.
Have another drink.
- I'll pour you some more. - Go on.
That boy is the best at getting his ass whooped.
- I can't imagine him as president. - Tell me about it.
I'm a teacher. I wouldn't lie to you.
- Forget it. - You're quite humorous.
Let me tell you a funny story.
There was once a town called Losersville.
You know what kind of birds lived there?
A bunch of chickens.
BUYEO AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL
You see this?
Since you were absent, no one collected class three's payment.
So Gyeong-tae beat me up.
Do you see this bruise?
You piece of shit.
You better collect 10,000 won by lunch.
Or make it up with your money,
you fucking asshole.
Attention. Bow.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
Hey, y'all.
Could you listen up for a second?
White Tiger wants every class to pay 5,000 won a day.
There are 36 of us here,
so if y'all could give 200 won each...
Jang Byeong-tae, you moron!
Have you lost your damn mind?
- Well, 150 won is also-- - Shut up, you son of a bitch.
What was that for?
You might as well go tell our teacher.
Why announce that White Tiger is taking their money?
How do I get the money then?
Don't ask politely. You gotta take it from them.
Grab a bastard just like this
and beat the hell out of him, okay?
Who can I beat up here?
You're really pissin' me the hell off.
Byeong-tae,
there's gotta be someone you can beat up.
There ain't nobody.
Stop whining and just pick one of them!
Got it?
You better bring the money.
Damn.
Depending on when it's harvested,
radish can be divided into spring, summer, or autumn radish.
Spring radish is planted in March or April and harvested in May or June.
Summer radish is planted in May or June and harvested in July or August.
What about autumn radish?
August.
It ain't hard.
It's planted in August and harvested in November, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Do you think
you could fight me and win?
I'm not sure.
We won't know until we fight.
But I knocked out Dae-jin
with an elbow punch before.
Who knows?
Maybe I could knock someone out while fighting too.
You got money?
Money?
What money?
I was hopin' you could give me 1,000 won.
What the hell are you talkin' about?
Shut up.
They can be found on the south coast or Jeju Island in the winter.
- Got it? - Yes, sir.
I went on too long. Take it away, homeroom rep.
Attention. Bow.
- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.
- What was that for? - What the heck?
What's wrong with you?
Give me your money, you fucking bastard!
- Are you out of your mind? - Hey, stop it.
- You're not the White Tiger! - Give me your money.
Give me your money.
We poor bastards gotta stick together.
Do you also work for those jerks now?
Give me the money, you asshole.
Get your shit together.
I don't wanna fight you, okay?
All right.
Shut the hell up and just give me your money!
You fucking bastard!
Hey.
What the hell are you doing?
You got money?
What if I don't, you fucker?
You don't?
Then you gotta get whooped too, dipshit.
Fucking asshole.
Fuck you.
- Motherfucker. - You asshole.
You piece of shit.
You asshole.
Fuck you.
Give me your money.
Give it to me, you bastard!
Give it to me!
Ho-seok, wake up!
What the hell?
He's knocked out!
His head's bleeding!
What the hell?
Go get a teacher. Hurry!
Okay.
Gyeong-tae wants to see you.
If you drop this cup or spill all the water,
then you lose, all right?
But that's too hard.
You said you could fight with one hand.
Byeong-tae,
if you win the fight
or Sang-u spills all the water,
then you win.
And that means you don't gotta pay me.
What do you think?
A pretty good deal, ain't it?
Do I gotta do this?
If you don't wanna,
then pay up.
I'll take it that y'all are down.
Ready, fight.
- You fucker! - I don't wanna do this.
Son of a bitch!
This is how it is.
I don't get to go back
to my old life as a loser.
My life right now...
is so much worse
than ever before.
I always thought...
there could be no worse hell
than the one I lived in.
But here it was.
And I never had a chance
to learn how to survive
in a place like this.
How on earth do I keep on living...
through this hell on earth?
I wish someone could tell me.
POLICE SERVICE AND ORDER
What on earth is going on?
He's only ever been whooped.
He ain't one to whoop anyone else.
The victim, Cho Ho-seok, is at the hospital
due to a concussion.
The student who beat him...
is Byeong-tae.
Goodness, Officer Kim.
We live under the same roof, don't we?
How could you arrest our son like this?
The victim's family sued him. There was nothing I could do.
The best way to go about this
is to settle with the victim's family.
BUYEO CLINIC
Ma'am,
I have no one but myself to blame for this tragic accident.
It's all because I failed to discipline my son.
I failed as a father and this is all my fault.
I promise from the bottom of my heart
that we'll fully compensate you
for the damages your son experienced.
I had made up my mind to get your son
locked up in jail.
But my son told me
that he and your son both get beat up all the time.
My apologies.
I committed a grave sin, ma'am.
Take care.
Weren't we friends?
I considered you my only friend.
I guess you didn't.
Just yesterday,
you and I ate ice cream together
and hung out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Ho-seok.
I get that you were desperate.
But friends don't hit their friends.
I have no excuses.
I'm sorry.
Why did you do it?
You're...
You're all I had.
Jang Bum-tae.
You and I...
we gotta stop resisting.
Let's just get whooped.
Get up, you're embarrassin' me.
Ho-seok.
Oh god.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
