Help me out with a scene.

When Oh Dae Su is first released, after his chit-chat with the suicidal guy, he heads down in the elevator. He's weirded out by seeing a living human female; there's kind of some wailing sounds and the camera pulls away. Then when he's walking away from the building, the woman from the lift is gesticulating to a staff member of some kind, seemingly pointing towards Oh Dae Su. Then the guy falls from above and hits the car.

Explain please.

That was the first female flesh he had seen in 15 years. He was overcome with sexual desire, and was gripping the walls with his fingernails to contain himself.

Obviously, this made him look like a dangerous lunatic, so the terrified woman found a security guard.

I suppose that makes sense.

To me, though, it just made him look like a guy with a deathly fear of lifts/elevators.

I believe he took her glasses.

I'm afraid subtitles (or maybe English dubbing) didn't cover what the woman in the lift said to an apartment janitor.

In Korean, she said "That *beep* lunatic grabbed my ass. Do something quick." And the janitor said "Hey, Mister."

From the dialogue, it's clear that ODS sexually attacked the woman in the lift and stole her sunglasses.

I can understand their conversation because I'm Korean. Hope it helps.

Weird. The new subtitles on the Plain Archive Blu-ray simply say "that man took my sunglasses" or something, no mention of anything else. I did think she seemed to be over reacting considering he just took her sunglasses, so it makes more sense that it was over something else.

he stole her sunglasses AND i think he had an orgasm in his pants.

the guy jumping is not linked to him in the elevator, he went to the rooftop to jump which is what he did.
