Little Angel

FADE IN:
STREET- BUSAN- DAY
We see an ASIAN GIRL (mid teens) walking down a busy street
in a Korean city. She is of medium height with long brown
hair. She is no more intimidating than a stuffed animal. Her
name is Yumi.
INT. STORE- CONTINUOUS
Yumi walks into a store and looks through the cards. She
pulls out a card and buys a balloon. She scribbles something
on the card but we do not see it.
EXT. STREET- CONTINUOUS
Yumi walks down the street until she hears her phone ring.
She stops.
YUMI
(on the phone in English)
Is it done? You didnt do it? We
had a deal! Hello?
Yumi looks angry. She briefly screams but quickly composes
herself. She continues walking to the beach where an older
man sits patiently. Yumi and the man speak in Korean.
EXT. BEACH- BUSAN- SAME TIME
FATHER
Yumi! You made it.
YUMI
Were you worried I wouldnt show up
Dad?
They have an awkward hug.
FATHER
I wasnt worried. I knew you would
come.
YUMI
So what did you want to do today?
FATHER
Just being here with you is enough.
They sit awkwardly.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
YUMI
How have you been?
The father looks lovingly at his daughter.
FATHER
I have been missing my family. Do
they miss me?
Yumi looks down.
YUMI
Aunt Suna mentions you sometimes.
FATHER
And you?
YUMI
Sometimes.
FATHER
(deep breath)
Um...I know I have not been the
perfect father. I was away for a
long time.
YUMI
You werent away. You were in jail.
Youre a criminal. When you say you
were away it makes it sound like
you were traveling.
FATHER
I wasnt gone by choice.
YUMI
Choice is exactly what led you
there.
EXT: AMERICAN SUBURB: NIGHT
We see two teenagers in dark clothes running towards a small
house. They are each armed with a flashlight. One is tall
with piercings. This is Joe. The other is shorter with a
black coat. This is Alex.
JOE
Its this one. Lets go.
ALEX
Are you sure its here? We cant
mess this up.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
JOE
I know this is the spot.
The sneak up to the house and begin unscrewing the doorknob.
They are able to open the door. They walk in.
ALEX
Where can we find it?
JOE
Its supposed to be in a drawer in
the kitchen.
ALEX
I cant believe someone would keep
something so important in a house
like this.
JOE
Its the perfect hiding place.
EXT: BEACH- BUSAN- CONTINUOUS
FATHER
Have you been dating lately?
YUMI
(sighs)
Its your birthday so I will be
kind to you today, but dont try to
ask too many personal questions.
FATHER
I know I dont deserve your
kindness.
YUMI
So what exactly are we doing here
today. You want to ask for a second
chance right? Why else would you
call me here?
FATHER
I know its not a yes or no answer.
I never stopped thinking about you.
I know you havent stopped thinking
about me.
YUMI
Thats true but maybe not in the
way you would have hoped.
EXT: AMERICAN SUBURB- NIGHT
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
Alex and Joe are searching through drawers.
Click!
A light comes on. It is an older woman. She is startled.
OLDER WOMAN
Who are you? What are you doing in
here!?
JOE
Shit!
Alex slaps her across the face. She screams. He pushes her
onto the couch.
ALEX
Keep your mouth shut bitch.
JOE
What are you doing!?
ALEX
Did you want her calling the cops?
JOE
We cant do it like this!
ALEX
(ignoring him)
Listen, Im going to take my hand
off your mouth and your going to
tell me where the necklace is.
Okay?
She nods. He removes his hand.
OLDER WOMAN
In the closet. Third shelf. Its in
the safe.
ALEX
Whats the code?
ODLER WOMAN
5578.
The woman is teary eyed.
Joe goes to get the necklace. Alex hits her again.
EXT: BEACH- BUSAN- CONTINUOUS
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 5.
The father looks emotional as Yumi vents her frustrations.
She yells in English now.
YUMI
(In Perfect English)
You sent me away! Did you think you
were helping me? Keeping me away
from my country and my friends?
The father tries to gain courage.
FATHER
(In Bad English)
I thought if I sent you away you
wouldnt have to be around me. You
saw what being around me did to
your mother.
YUMI
It killed her. And now you ask me
if Im dating? Do you think I need
a man to protect me?
FATHER
Is it too much to want my daughter
to be safe?
YUMI
How did that work out for mom?
The father looks at his arm regretfully. He has a gang
tattoo.
INT: AMERICAN SUBURB HOUSE- NIGHT
Joe finds the necklace. He brings it to Alex.
JOE
I found it. Oh my God. Its
beautiful.
ALEX
Good. What should we do with her?
JOE
(nervously)
Just let her go Alex.
Alex glares at Joe.
ALEX
Are you crazy? She saw our faces.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 6.
JOE
What are you saying!?
ALEX
You know what Im saying man.
Alex goes to the kitchen and gets a knife.
JOE
Put that down!
OLDER WOMAN
Please dont! Please! You can have
the necklace!
JOE
Alex I said put it down!
ALEX
Do you want to go to prison?
JOE
This isnt what we do!
ALEX
Well we never robbed anyone before
today, so maybe this is what we do.
Alex gets close to the woman but Joe tackles him. They
fight.
As they fight we hear Yumi speaking to her father.
YUMI V.O
You cant just reset the clock. You
made a decision. You picked a path.
Joe and Alex are still rolling around on the floor.
YUMI V.O
I understand you feel badly about
the way you have lived your life.
Alex is on top of Joe and is holding the knife above his
throat. He is trying to push down but Joe is resisting.
YUMI V.O
You changed your mind too late. Now
you are stuck with the choice you
made.
It look like Joe is done for. Finally Joe pushes Alex off of
him.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
JOE
Alex, its me! You know I wont
fight you like this. We cant do
it. Look what were doing man!
Alex sees the older woman crying. He walks around holding
his hands on his head in contemplation. Joe is teary eyed.
JOE
Cmon man...
Alex goes up to the woman with the knife.
ALEX
If you EVER tell ANYONE what
happened here tonight I will be
back for you...
She nods.
Joe throws the golden necklace at the woman and they walk
out of the house.
EXT. BEACH- BUSAN- CONTINUOUS
FATHER
(In Korean)
Im sorry Yumi.
Yumi gets up. She brushes the sand off of her and looks
towards the ocean. She wont make eye contact with him.
YUMI
(In Korean)
I know you are... And I really wish
that was enough. Happy Birthday
Dad.
Yumi gives her father the card and walks away.
INT. CAR-NIGHT
Joe and Alex are on their way back home.
Joe picks up his phone and makes a phone call. We cant hear
the other end.
JOE
(on the phone)
No its not done...The deal if off.
Joe hangs up the phone and puts it down. He hits the ceiling
in triumph. He smiles.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 8.
ALEX
What now?
JOE
Anything.
Joe and Alex drive off to a better life.
EXT. BEACH- BUSAN- DAY
We see the father sitting on the beach holding a balloon and
his card. He opens the card. We zoom in.
"To my loving father, who taught me everything I know."
The father sighs as he sits on the beach alone and watches
the waves.
As we zoom out, The father lets go of the balloon and lets
it fly away.
FADE OUT
PART 2
EXT: STREET- SOUTH KOREA - DUSK
Yumi is walking down a run down street. She gets a phone
call.
YUMI
(on the phone)
Yeah? No they didnt get it. You
dont get the cash until I get the
necklace! Fine Ill meet you there.
Lets take care of this ourselves.
Yumi hangs up the phone. She walks into an old apartment
building.
INT: AMERICAN SUBURB- DAY
Joe and Alex are in a basement. Both look as terrified as
the day they came out of the womb.
ALEX
So Ill just be the first to say
it. We messed up big time.
JOE
We can get out of it.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 9.
ALEX
Did you forget who were dealing
with here? Shell skin us alive

JOE
We have to get off of the radar.
ALEX
Theres no where we can go where
she wont find us! She probably has
people searching for us right now!
A loud pound on the door is heard.
INT: DIRTY APARTMENT: KOREA- CONTINUOUS
Yumi is searching through piles of garbage and newspapers.
Finally she pulls out an envelope.
She opens it. Inside is bundles of cash. Quickly she seals
the envelope and heads out the door into the night.
INT: AMERICAN APARTMENT: DAY
The knocking is getting louder.
VOICE
Dont make me have to break in!
That will only make me angrier!
JOE
(whispering)
We have to let him in man.
ALEX
(whispering)
Fine!
Alex opens the door slowly. As soon as it is open a little a
man kicks through the door, sending Alex flying backwards.
The man is large and Russian. He is in his mid 30s. His
name is PATRICK.
PATRICK
So I take it you have the necklace?
JOE
Who the hell are you!?
PATRICK
My name is Patrick. Yumi wants the
necklace. Give it here boys!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10.
ALEX
We dont have it!
PATRICK
Excuse me?
JOE
Hes telling the truth man! We
didnt steal it.
Patrick walks around angrily. He kicks over a garbage can.
PATRICK
Do you have any idea what Yumi will
do to us if we cant get that
necklace back? Shell burn us
alive!
JOE
We couldnt get it.
PATRICK
Couldnt get it? Do you have any
idea how valuable it is?
ALEX
We dont know the details.
PATRICK
According to Yumi its incredibly
valuable and she wont rest until
she gets it back.
JOE
And how can we do that?
PATRICK
I just have to call in a favor and
you boys are going to help me.
Patrick picks up his phone.
PATRICK
(on the phone)
Eddie? Come to 5th street. Last
house of the right. Im calling in
my favor.
EXT: DIRTY ROAD- KOREA- NIGHT
Yumi is walking along a dirt road. She has the envelope with
her. She also is carrying a knife in the back of her pants.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 11.
She approaches a rundown house. It is a traditional house
with potted plants and moss along the outside.
She knocks on the door. It opens and she goes inside with
the money. Her father has been following her and watches her
go inside.
He stays close behind.
INT: TRADITIONAL HOUSE- KOREA- CONTINUOUS
Inside There are two Korean Gangsters. They are large men
with full body tattoos. They play cards.
GANGSTER 1
Yumi! Welcome back!
YUMI
Im just here for business.
GANGSTER 2
Okay, then we can skip the small
talk. Give me the envelope.
Yumi walks over and hands the envelope to Gangster 2.
He pours it into the table. Cash falls out as well as a
picture. Gangster 1 picks up the photo. We cant see it yet.
GANGSTER 2
So whats the job?
YUMI
Someone is trying to steal
something very valuable from me.
GANGSTER 1
How valuable?
YUMI
Thats none of your concern. The
money is all right here for you. I
need you to stop this guy before he
gets what he is looking for.
GANGSTER 1
He is in the states huh? Thats a
big job but we can pull it off.
YUMI
There is enough cash for plane
tickets. I need you to leave as
soon as you can.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12.
Gangster 1 passes the photo to Gangster 2
GANGSTER 2
We can take care of it.
YUMI
You know what happens if you fail.
The gangster puts the photo down on the table. It is a photo
of Patrick.
INT: CAR- DAY
Joe is driving a truck down the road. Patrick is in the
passenger seat. Alex is in the back. Another man sits next
to Alex. He is tall and thin, (mid 40s). This is Eddie.
JOE
SO Yumi sent you here to help us?
PATRICK
Help is a strong word. Im keeping
us all alive.
EDDIE
I would bet my left nut you cant
do that. Not after what I heard
about this chick.
They pull up to the house from the night before. They are
revealed to be in a white van. Patrick and Eddie get out and
close the door.
PATRICK
(through the window)
You guys stay here until you get
the sign from me.
Patrick puts on his best smile and knocks on the door.
No one answers.
Patrick knocks again louder. The woman peeks her head out
from the side of the door.
OLDER WOMAN
Who are you? Please leave!
PATRICK
My name is Ronald Hervawitz. Im
from Security Unlimited. We are
aware you had a break in last
night. Can I please speak with you?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13.
OLDER WOMAN
Show me identification.
Eddie takes out an ID card and holds it against the window.
The woman cautiously opens the door. As she does Patrick and
Eddie barge in as usual.
PATRICK
All right lady wheres the
necklace?
OLDER WOMAN
Oh no! No! No!
She tries to run away but trips.
Patrick gets to her quickly.
PATRICK
Dont make this worse than it has
to be! Just tell me where it is!
OLDER WOMAN
Ill give it to you! Please just
leave me alone!
Joe and Alex see a neighbor from the car. The neighbor looks
curious. He approaches the house. Joe honks the horn several
times.
PATRICK
Shit! Come with me. Now!
Patrick drags the woman out of the house and into the car.
The neighbor sees.
PATRICK
(to the neighbor)
Get the fuck back! Back off now!
They drive away quickly.
INT: PLANE- DAY- SOME WHERE OVER CHINA
Gangster 1 and Gangster 2 are on the plane drinking whiskey
and eating lunch.
GANGSTER 2
So you never told me how you met
Yumi...
(CONTINUED)

GANGSTER 1
Thats actually an interesting
story! You dont know about her?
GANGSTER 2
I met her when she was already well
established.
GANGSTER 1
Im sure you know Yumis father was
in the Rattlesnakes...Actually the
founding member.
As the gangster tells his story we see it come to life
before our eyes.
FLASHBACK: Yumi is 9. She is with her father and her mother
in a flea market. Yumi is shopping with her family.
GANGSTER 1 (V.O.)
They say they were at Dong Bo
Market in East Busan. Just an
ordinary day of shopping.
Yumi and her mom are searching through clothes and assorted
items while her dad stands far behind. Her dad looks as if
he is searching for someone.
GANGSTER 1 (V.O.)
I guess her dad figured he could
kill two birds with one stone. Have
a nice family outing...and meet
with Hyung Bo in an inconspicuous
place.
Yumi looks innocent and smiles while holding her mothers
hand.
GANGSTER 1 (V.O)
Hung Bo showed up but not in the
way that her dad expected.
We see A tall Asian man in a suit walk through the flea
market towards the father. This man is HYUNG BO. As he gets
closer we see that a few shoppers are not as they seem. They
turn around with guns.
GANGSTER 1 (V.O.)
Hyung Bo and his gang tried to take
out Yumis dad. Her dad managed to
take most of them out. The police
did the rest of the work.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 15.
We see Yumis mother cover Yumi to protect her from the
bullets. Yumi moves and her mothers bullet ridden corpse
falls to the ground. Yumi is covered in blood. She watches
her father be taken to jail.

CONTINUED: 16.
EDDIE (contd)

get it from the house.
PATRICK
We cant go back to the house. The
cops are probably already there.
She has to go get it.
The older woman looks around nervously.
OLDER WOMAN
What do you expect me to tell the
police?
JOE
Listen...Just tell them there was a
misunderstanding. You get us the
necklace and this goes away
forever.
OLDER WOMAN
Fine!
PATRICK
I dont think you understand what
is at stake here. If you betray us

OLD WOMAN
Why do you all need this so badly?

Is has green and purple jewels on the outside. It glows like
a bright star.
EDDIE
(mesmorized)
Its beautiful.
PATRICK
Alright well give it here.
Eddie looks conflicted.
Alex and Joe look around awkwardly.
PATRICK
Eddie stop being a knucklehead.
Give me the necklace.
EDDIE
I dont get why I have to just give
it to you...
PATRICK
What? We had a plan. You owed me a
favor remember?
Eddies gaze is fixiated by the necklace.
EDDIE
I know but...This reaches far
beyond a favor.
PATRICK
Eddie dont do something youre
going to regret here.
Eddie eyes a gun on the table.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 18.
PATRICK
Eddie Im way faster than you.
Eddie keeps staring at the gun. He looks at the necklace and
then back at the gun.
He jumps for the gun but Patrick grabs it first. Patrick
shoots Eddie in his nuts. Eddie falls to the ground.
Patrick picks up the necklace and puts it in his pocket.
Eddie is in pain.
PATRICK
Hey Eddie! I bet you youre left
nut that Im gonna kill you right
now.
Patrick fires three shots into Eddies chest.
The door flies open and the two Korean Gangsters bust in.
GANGSTER 1
Get on the ground! Now!
GANGSTER 2
You heard him! Do it!
ALEX
Whats going on!?
Joe calmly lies on the ground.
JOE
I knew you would come for us...
EXT: EMPTY FARM- KOREA- SUNRISE
Yumi stands in the middle of a field. The sun rises as Yumi
stands stoicly, waiting.
Suddenly a trail of dust appears as a car pulls up. The two
gangsters come out of the car.
YUMI
Youve been gone 5 days.
Gangster 1 brushes himself off.
GANGSTER 1
Some of that is the time
difference.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 19.
YUMI
Do you have the necklace?
GANGSTER 2
About that...
GANGSTER 1
Weve seen the necklace. We think
maybe you arent paying us enough.
YUMI
Now is not the time to be greedy,
GANGSTER 1
It actually seems like this is a
fantastic time to be greedy. I
brought you some presents!
Gangster 2 goes to the car and opens the door. He pulls out
Joe, Alex and the old woman. They are blindfolded and have
their hands tied.
Yumi looks distraught.
YUMI
Why would you bring them here!?
This wasnt part of the
arrangement!
GANGSTER 1
We thought you would be pleased!
YUMI
I didnt ask for all of this. I
asked for the necklace.
OLDER WOMAN
(to herself)
I know that voice...
GANGSTER 2
If you dont like our present then
maybe its time to change our
arrangement.
Both of the gangsters take out their guns.
YUMI
I told you not to get greedy.
Three Gangsters walk out of the barn. They have guns and
clearly work for Yumi. They have rattlesnake tattoos. They
are the last three members. They work for Yumi now.

INT: DIRTY APARTMENT- CONTINUOUS
Yumis Father is searching through his messy apartment.
Finally he finds what he is looking for. It is an old
machine gun. He blows the dust off it. He checks the
magazine. Still loaded.
EXT: FARM- CONTINUOUS
The gangsters are all looking at one another.
YUMI
We dont need to do this...Just
give me the necklace and take the
money. There is more than enough
cash.
GANGSTER 1
Maybe we will keep both!
Gangster 1 looks over to Yumis gangsters.
GANGSTER 1
(to the others)
To all of you protecting this
bitch... We have the necklace! Get
this bitch and well split it with
you!
Yumis three gangsters look conflicted.
YUMI
Dont listen to him. He doesnt
know what hes talking about.
GANGSTER 2
We can all be rich together! Lets
get rid of this horrible little
girl!
Gangster 2 walks towards Yumi and one of Yumis gangsters
fires. The bullet goes through Gangster 2s head. POW! He
falls to the ground dead.
Gangster 1 fires his pistol several times. He hits the
ground near Yumi but also hits one of her Gangsters in the
chest. He falls down.
It is a firefight. Gangster 1 hides behind a shed and shoots
over a bale of hay. The other gangsters shoot as well.
It is chaos. No one is safe. Joe, Alex and the old woman are
on the ground, still blindfolded. Joe tries to get his hands
untied.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 21.
Yumi is hiding for cover. No side cares if she is alive. It
is a fight for the necklace now.
Suddenly a car pulls up. Out of the car comes Yumis father.
He takes his machine gun and fires wildly at the remaining
gangsters.
One of the gangsters shoots him in the arm but he keeps
firing. POW! He is shot in the shoulder but he keeps
shooting! All the gangsters are dead. He falls to the
ground.
YUMI
Dad!
She runs to her father and holds him up.
FATHER
Im alright.
YUMI
How did you know I was here?
FATHER
A father always knows...
Joe has managed to undo his ropes. He takes off his
blindfold and helps Alex and the old woman undo theirs also.
JOE
Where are we?
Yumi stands up.
YUMI
Daegu, South Korea.
Joe and Alex look stunned when they see Yumi.
ALEX
You look so grown up.
The old woman stands up.
OLD WOMAN
Yumi...
The father is standing on his own now.
FATHER
Who are these people?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 22.
YUMI
This is Mrs.Adams...She was my
foster mother. This is Joe and
Alex. They were my friends back in
America.
FATHER
(awkwardly)
Nice to meet you.
OLD WOMAN
Why didnt you just tell me you
wanted the necklace. I was holding
onto it for you all these years...
YUMI
I didnt want to cause you trouble
by contacting you. Im sure the
police read your mail and listen to
your phone calls. This plan didnt
work out much better.
JOE
What do we do now?
Yumi picks up the briefcase and gives it to Joe.
YUMI
There is more than enough money in
there to compensate you all for
this trouble.
OLD WOMAN
What are you going to do?
YUMI
Dont worry about me. Go back to
America. Forget about all of this.
The car keys are still in there.
Joe, Alex and Mrs. Adams head back to the car they came in.
Joe turns around.
JOE
Yumi...I have to know...How much is
that necklace worth? Just tell me
please.
Alex and Mrs.Adams also look extremely curious.
Yumi looks at Joe and then turns around. She puts her father
in the other car. She drives away.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 23.
INT: CAR- NIGHT
As Yumi drives away from the carnage her father puts his
hand on hers.
They arrive at the fathers house. Yumi helps her father out
of the car and into the house. She has the necklace around
her neck. She holds it tight.
INT: HOUSE- CONTINUOUS
Yumi puts her father on the couch and helps bandage him. She
goes through his drawers and finds a hammer.
She puts her necklace down on the counter and with one big
SMASH she breaks the necklace into a hundred pieces.
FLASHBACK: INT: FLEA MARKET
Yumi is with her family at the flea market. She is 9 years
old. Yumi is holding both their hands. Suddenly Yumi sees
something that catches her attention. She runs away.
FATHER
Why do we have to come here every
weekend?
MOTHER
Because she loves it here!
FATHER
Every weekend?
MOTHER
If it makes her happy.
The father and mother see Yumi looking at cheap items on a
dirty blanket. In the middle of the blanket is the necklace.
MOTHER
(to owner)
How much is this?
OWNER
$3.00.
MOTHER
Well take it.
The mother gives the money to the owner and Yumi grabs the
necklace. Yumi smiles widely. She is incredibly happy.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 24.
FATHER
Thats the cheapest looking crap
Ive ever seen! Look at those tacky
plastic gems! Lets get her
something better.
Yumi looks like she is about to cry.
MOTHER
Why does it matter what it looks
like? If she loves it what harm can
it do? Things only have the value
that you place on them.
INT: YUMIS OLD HOME- CONTINUOUS
The mother is carefully unscrewing the back of the necklace.
MOTHER
Dont worry, I wont break it.
YUMI
I dont care if you break it. Dad
says its ugly.
MOTHER
Im going to make it nicer for you.
The mother bends down to Yumis level. She shows Yumi the
necklace.
MOTHER
See here? Inside there is a picture
of our family. This picture makes
it the most special one in the
world! No other necklace has a
picture of us in it. When you look
at this necklace I want you to
remember that we all love you very
much okay? Everyone just wants you
to be happy.
Yumi smiles and takes the necklace from her mother.
END FLASHBACK
Yumi stares at the hundreds of broken pieces. She pulls out
the tiny photo from the broken plastic and cheap metal.
She looks at it and smiles.
The father tries to stand up.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 25.
FATHER
Listen, You bandaged me up good.
Dont worry about me. Go back home
okay?
Yumi looks around the dirty apartment and smiles.
YUMI
If its okay with you...Maybe Ill
stay here a while. We have a lot to
clean up.
The father smiles.
Yumi begins cleaning the apartment.
We zoom out and leave them to their buisiness.
FADE OUT
The End
