Maundy Thursday (2006) - full transcript

Yu-jeong (Lee Na-young) has now attempted to commit suicide three times. Her disdain for her mother and indifference to the rest of the world, isolates her from any chance for happiness. Yu-jeong's aunt Sister Monica is a nun, and she often goes to the prison to visit death row inmates. Sister Monica meets a new death row inmate who asks if he could meet her niece. Yu-jeong reluctantly agrees. Yu-jeong and the death row inmate do not open up to each other immediately. Yu-jeong comes from a wealthy family and is a professor at a university. Yet, she has never known happiness since the age of 15 as a result of a sexual assault at the hands of her cousin. The inmate that she meets, named Yun-soo (Kang Dong-won), has had an even more traumatic childhood experience. He was abandoned by his parents at an early age and has had to live on the streets while caring for a younger brother. Eventually Yun-soo ends up involved in the criminal world and gets convicted for murder. With their disparate backgrounds, Yu-jeong and Yun-soo are still able to connect with each other, because both people have encountered grief like few others could possibly know. As they both regain the will to live through their weekly meetings, they must now deal with their feelings for each other and come to grips with the short amount of time they have together.[5][6]

Maundy Thursday

Good morning!
It's another new hopeful morning today.

Welcome to 'The FM Morning Show'

- This year is almost over.
- New hopeful morning?

Cold winter weather's no reason
to be a couch potato.

Now it's time to get up,

open the window, and feel
the fresh morning air.

Yeah...
I love this freshness.

Here's 'The FM Morning Show'
bringing it fresh like the morning air.



Why again?

Do it quietly,
if you want to die so bad.

At your uncle's hospital?
This is so humiliating.

Humiliating?

Then, take me to a different hospital.
I'll die quietly there.

Don't do this to me.

You want to see me pass out
from high blood pressure?

What's wrong this time?

Over and over again...
You keep coming back alive.

Isn't it all just an act?

You're not a child anymore
trying to get attention.

Because you won't die.

I'm trying to do it for you instead, OK?

You spoiled brat.

How could you do this to me?

I gave up the piano
and even my life for you,

you brat!

Ma, stop.

Stop...

- Yu-jeong!
- I didn't ask you to have me.

- Did I?
- What the...

- So, why don't you let me just die?
- Yu-jeong, please!

Ma, go outside for a minute.
Uncle, please take Yu-jeong.

Yu-jeong.

I think you'd better cry...

Ahh!

You're huring me, Aunty!

You always find bad things to do.

What's this?
You humiliate me!

You haven't changed a bit.
I got older, didn't I?

You're not old enough to die.

It's not like I really wanted to die.

Just that this fat sun scares
the hell out of me.

You're not nagging?
What, did you finally give up on me? '

- How's your mom?
- Same'ol same'ol.

She still sucks?

I just saw your uncle

He says you should be
in the hospital for a month.

So I demanded they let me
take and use you.

You prefer counseling or singing
the national anthem?

Anthem?
What anthem?

There's someone...

...who wants to hear your anthem.

I can't believe someone wants
to see a fool like you.

You mean, my anthem?

Seoul Detention House

I thought you couldn't make it?

Sorry, I'm a little late.

It's an honor to meet you.

You looked like an angel
at the singing competition

I'm not surprised you're doing
a good deed, too.

Actually, she dragged me here.

I see.

- Sister, Monica!
- Hey, look at you.

- How have you been?
- Fine,

but you, what happened?
You got so skinner.

I heard Father Kim
underwent cancer surgery.

Right.

Prisoners with red numbered stickers
are called,

'Big Timers.'

What a sacrifice!

We call condemned criminal
like that.

I'll say nice things to God about you,

So, feel free to eat outside food.

- My sister came to see me.
- Ok.

- Let's go.
- I'll write you a letter.

- Have a good time with your sister.
- Thanks.

Don't stand there.
Come on, have a seat.

Sister, he's here.

Welcome.

You're Yun-soo.
Nice to meet you, Yun-soo.

I'm over 60,
so I can call you Yun-Soo, right?

I'm Sister Monica.
Did you get my mail?

Sit. Sit here.

Come and sit, Yun-soo.

Hey, officer Lee. I brought some bread,
could you remove the cuffs?

Sorry. That's not allowed

Let's eat. Here.

Eat.

Help yourself.

I got no kids, but I've been
coming here for over 30 years.

So I'm almost your mother.

Mother?

Don't ever visit me again
and send any letters, either.

- I'm not trying to be evangelical.
- Don't you get it?

I didn't want to come out.
I'm only here to say this.

Ok, I see what you mean.

But it's not that uncomfortable
to meet an old lady like me?

I just want to spend some time
with you once a week.

I don't care
if you're religious or not.

Just meet and talk
and look, eat something.

Hey granny.
Do that somewhere else.

If you really wanna do something nice,
then send a petition for my death.

For my death!

I hate...

Every minute of this life.

Yun-soo.

What's tormenting you?
What are you afraid of the most?

Morning.

- Hey, hold on.
- Hey, hold on.

I know this is illegal,

Take these with you.

And share them
with other fellas.

I know it's rare here.

You think I'd die without this?

I'm sorry if I hurt
your feelings.

- My fault.
- Shit...

People like you always
make me feel like shit,

That's why I don't want to meet
any nuns or priests.

Ok. I know. I apologize.

Try some of these though.

Once you told me

You wanted to meet the former singer
Ms. Moon in person.

She's Sister Monica's niece.

Yun-soo!

How could you laugh in
a situation like this?

He looks like a girl.
How many people did he kill?

- I don't know.
- Why not?

You're a member
of religious committee.

When you meet a person,

do you immediately ask
'Have you ever killed anyone? Why? '

I just met him for the first time.

That's all I know so far.

Right. You're a nun.

Exhorting people like him and me
to repent

and sob.
That's what you do for a living.

I forgot for a second

See? Now you know.

You guys are so alike

You know I'm impulsive.

I'm not doing this.
I'm taking back my promise

That I'll come here for a month.'

Ok,

Do whatever you want

and keep looking like
'the saddest person on earth'.

You just keep living like that
if you like.

Hey, look who's here.

Kids here treat you well because you
got a death sentence, don't they?

But I'm different from
those little shitheads.

You scared, kiddo?

Then, you better not mess with me.

Hey kiddo. Think that you stepped
in shit right before you die.

See?
He can't beat me.

- Time's up!
- Everybody gather up!

- Let's get inside.
- Yeah, let's go.

Yun-soo, shall we?

- Stupid jerk!
- Get him out!

3987! You wanna go to hell, stupid!?

Get him out.
Hold him down!

Jung Yun-soo

The hostage arrested

Jung Yun-soo raped and murdered
17 years old girl

Professor, it says 'The End'.

That's all for today.

Excuse me.

You were 20 min. Late
and gave a twenty min. Lecture.

If you go on like this

I'll have to file a complaint.

People get what they give, right?

Professor!

I was at a nearby district office.

Let's have lunch.
Do you still like Bibimbap?

I didn't know prosecutors would
have that much of time.

There's memorial service for dad today,

- did you forget?
- How could I forget?

Don't skip any more
of family events!

Event?

You call Dad's memorial service an event?

Mom's piano recital is.

Sorry, you have lunch alone.
I'm not hungry.

Yu-jeong, Mom's much older now.

So do you like her?

Look, our joyful home

Bright and holy heaven's

holy people

Thank you God for gathering us
all together today

and for sheltering us.

We honor and praise thee,

Forgive us for we are weak
and of the flesh

and are here for such
a short period of time

This we confess to you

as we humbly ask for your pity.

Please console us in our hour
of need and grant us peace.

Amen.

Wow Prof. Moon, you can drink!

So, what's up today? You always
get away with after-work dinners.

I didn't feel like going home.

Good for us, then! What else do
we get at home except wives' nagging?

How about Karaoki, then?
Karaoki, everyone?

That's a great idea.

I heard you used to be
a popular singer.

Wouldn't that be nice being
part of the chairman's family,

ex-famous singer,

and art lecturer as a hobby?

Prof. Park...
Stop joking around like that.

What, am I wrong?

People like us should bust
our asses till death.

It seems unfair...

Hey, Prof. Moon!

So you want me to go there alone?
Are you out of your mind?

The Sister at Dae-jeon prison is sick.

I should take care of the kids.
What can I do?

What is it you want from me,
exactly?

Why do you keep asking me
to meet with him?

Do you know what crime
he's committed?

Does his past matter that much?
I don't wanna talk about it.

You're not gonna break
your promise, are you?

Ok. I'll meet him, I'll.

I'll ask him all sorts of Qs.
Even the ones you wouldn't.

Once we had a party,

and I played this, in the middle
of it I became so emotional I ran out.

I feel the same right now
just like back then.

Yu-jeong's here.

Go praying for the Lord first.

- Take it easy.
- Oh, My...

- You're so busy?
- I'll call you.

- Let's have a meal.
- Sir, Drink some.

- Call me, often.
- OK.

Honey, look at her!

Yu-jeong!

Oh, My God.

You must be starving, dad.

What's she doing?

- Get off of me!
- Yu-chan!

- Yu-cheol, take care of mom!
- I'm leaving!

I met Dad, so I'm leaving.

- Get up.
- How could you...

Yu-jeong.

Yu-jeong!

Open the door!
Yu-jeong!

Sorry, Minseok. What are
we gonna do about your new car?

She must be out of her mind!

That's alright.
Cars can be fixed, but...

She hasn't changed at all.

Sir!

You acted like
you would never show up.

But then, why are you here again?

I was told a woman's waiting for me,
not Sister Monica.

You know...

Do I look like a woman?

Aren't you?

Yes, you are.

Hey, I read
every article about you.

Excuse me, you're not supposed to

talk about crime or things related
in here.

I'm scared,
sitting in front of you.

When my aunt said
we'd be coming to see you,

I felt like shit.

Shit, you're straightforward,
I like that.

Yes, I am.

I wanted to ask you
a couple of questions.

Ok.

Let's start with the anthem!

Which anthem do you
remember me singing?

You're not gonna tell me?

Then I'm leaving.

Wait!

Ms, Moon, please.

Why don't you have some bread
while having a talk?

Why do you keep visiting me?

You said you felt like shit.

Do you feel like shit
cause I'm here?

No, that's not what I said.

But it sounds a little strange...

Mr. Yun-soo Jung.

No... In here
I should call you 3987?

Why do you want to die so bad?

Is that how you feel for real?

You're so weird.

Why don't you tell me to pray to GOD
and redeem myself like everybody else?

You shouldn't think of anything else
but dying in here.

Otherwise, I'd go nuts.

Why are you asking me
these headaching questions?

Let me tell you one thing.

I'm the best person to tell
a secret to.

Why?

Cause I'll keep

that secret

till death.

That's funny.

Now, what is it you
wanted to tell me about?

You wanted to see me.

I need to know today.

Why you wanted to see me...

My little brother was...

...a huge fan of yours.

He always said
you were the best singer.

Eun-soo, Come out
when I say.

Let's surprise her, OK?

Ma!

Yun-soo. Go back.

My husband is a dog.

He'll kill you,
if he sees you.

So, go back and stay
at the care center!

I'll come and look for you later,
I promise!

Give me a break, Yun-soo.

I gotta live, too.

Where do we sleep now?

You can't sleep anywhere.

I'm scared.
Can't we go back to the care center?

No, we can't.

I'm cold.
Sing the anthem for me brother.

Is that the only song
you know stupid?

Yes, I am It gives me strength.

Until the East Sea's waves are dry...

Aunty, you're gonna hurt them.

Hello?

- Grandma.
- Yes.

- Grandma.
- Why?

After my daughter
died like that

I was going to smash it
on the street.

Instead I covered it
with black cloth for a while.

- You opened it.
- I needed to talk to her.

I wanted to ask her
If I could tear him apart.

I thought, If I hurt him
more than he hurt my daughter,

I could rest in peace in hell.

If there's a God...

Sister!
I have a favor to ask.

Go ahead.

Let me meet him for once.

Please, Sister!

Before the law kills him.

Nobody knows when these men
will be executed...

Thinking of his death makes me,

feel good.
But I know that's not right...

Forgiving someone is not that easy.

But God has taught us so,

And you, too, told us,

to forgive our enemies,

as many times as they
trespass against us.

Right?

Yun-soo.

This is the mother,

of the woman you killed.
The housemaid's mother.

She made some rice cakes
for you.

Yun-soo.

It's not what you think.

Come here. Please.

Why?
Why did you kill her?

Why did you do it, you bastard?
Why? You son of a bitch!

Why my daughter,
my penniless daughter.

Why didn't you just take the money
and let them live.

They can't live forever anyway...

Calm down.

Take a seat, Ma'am.

This is not working.

Yun-soo, get up.

Hold on.
I'm sorry, officer.

I'm sorry, Sister.

I was not going to...
I'm sorry, I am so sorry.

I'm sorry...

I am really sorry.
I am sorry.

I deserve to die.
Please forgive me.

Please forgive me.
I am sorry...

I heard you were an orphan.

If I could have my daughter back
by killing you,

I'd rather be on death row
for killing you a zillion times.

But I can't do that.

That's why I'm here.

So that you could rest in peace,

I forgive you.

Frankly, I can't still
wholeheartedly forgive you,

But I'll visit you until I can.

I am sorry...

I can not visit you often
because it's far and expensive.

But I'll see you every
New Year's and Thanksgiving day.

Stay alive until that day comes.

Make sure you do.

Officer! Officer!

- What' wrong?
- Something's wrong with 3987.

- What?
- Go and check!

3987, what's wrong?

Are you ok?

Wake up 3987!

I'm sorry, I am sorry.
Sorry!

Sorry.
I am sorry...

Happy New Year everyone, We're

washing your feet

to wash your sins away.

Father Kim, did we
just witness a miracle?

A fish transforming to a human being
is a magic, not a miracle.

Becoming a different person
is a miracle.

Aren't you having a hard time?

- Hello.
- Yu-jeong, mom's sick, again.

- Is this Yu-jeong? Let me talk to her.
- Just a moment.

- I don't wanna talk to her.
- You'll come soon?

I don't have any appetite.

Bring some soup from Sam-Cheng-Gak
on your way.

- And...
- You're in a suite, ma.

I'm sure they provide
good food there.

There are people who eat their meals
on the cold floor with handcuffs on.

It's already been a week

since the New Year began.

Is there anyone out there
who hasn't done greetings yet?

Pick up a phone
and give them a call.

There's nothing like the excitement
you get from an old friend's call.

You know what I'm talking about?

What a great day to be that old friend!
Go ahead, make that call.

You've got something right

next to your lip...

Where?

It's really delicious.
It must be expensive.

Of course it's delicious.
I bought it for my mom.

She's in the hospital.

She checks in to a hospital
for everything-headaches, stomachaches...

I came to see you
because I didn't want to see her.

Just looking at her gives me
headaches and stomachaches.

What?

You think I'm too harsh?

No.

I complain about her
all the time

But I eat well,
live rich with her money.

I'm such a bitch, aren't I?

You don't sound like
a professor at all,

though you are the first professor
I've seen in person.

I'm known more as
a loser on campus.

Me, too.
They know me as 'Cuckoo'.

Sorry to interrupt.

People don't t notice it
cause I'm not talkative

but I am the biggest loser of all time,

so count me in, too.

You're so much more
handsome when you smile.

Wow! It's snowing.

Isn't it time to have
a real talk?

Until the East Sea's waves are dry

She has an awesome voice.

The best anthem singer.

I feel uplifted
just listening to her.

Hear this. A lot, huh?

Wow we got a lot of money.

I'll save lots of money
and take you to the hospital soon.

I'll get you whatever you want.

Get me Nike shoes!

Do you even know
what Nike shoes are?

Peeing!

Wow! Awesome!

Look at these, man!

They are those guys.

Blind assholes in Oh's District.

Are you mad at me?

Just go to sleep!

You could go wherever you
wanted without me.

Yes, you're dame right!

It's too cold for spring.

I'm shivering.

Could you sing the anthem for me?

Shut up and go to bed!

OK, good night!

Get up, It's morning.

Hurry up, you lazy ass!

Eun-soo!

Eun-soo!

Is this a game? Huh?

Wake up, Eun-soo!

Wake up!

Eun-soo...

Eun-soo...

Eun-soo...

Such a weak,

dumb ass!

Are you crying?

Yes, I am, Shit!

I'm crying cause I feel bad
I didn't die with him!

I understand how you feel.

Understand?

What do you know?

How would you know

how fucked up my life has been?

You told me you're afraid
of sitting in front of me?

What could I do with these on?

People like you
are more horrifying.

You come in here
with an angel mask

and pretend to know everything,

shed that disgusting tears
for my death, shit!

That's enough.
Yun-soo, let's go.

Why do you keep coming here?

Let me just fucking die!

Yun-soo, let's go.

He's resisting food. So I sustained
him with nutrient fluids.

I don't know why he harasses
himself and warders.

A man on death row should
behave himself.

Gosh, time flies.

I'm so happy to see
everybody altogether.

Congratulations, mother!

Happy birthday!

What's wrong with you?
You've never cared about my b'day.

I don't need your congratulations.
Just don't get into any trouble.

Why are you getting skinner?
Order some more food, will ya?

Don't forget about this Saturday!

I'm not interested in
a blind date!

He's a doctor. When will you
ever have this opportunity again?

I don't want to get married.

Is this for me?

A girl's happiness lies in meeting
a guy who sincerely loves her.

Feel that kind of happiness,
Stupid!

Being loved?

What does that look
supposed to mean?

Do you think you were loved?

Dad didn't love you
he was scared of you.

Hey...

- What are you talking about?
- Yu-jeong!

I'm so like dad,
I can tell by his eyes.

Do you know what the most terrible
thing is whenever

I wake up after failed suicides?

Seeing your face, Ma.

Being your daughter again
is the most horrible thing.

- Hey, lady!
- Don't do this to me.

I'm so sick of you Moon families.

If I every break down because of
high blood pressure It's all your fault!

Get the hell out of here!

- Ma, you ok?
- Mother, wake up!

Mom...

Brother

Operating Room

She'll be fine after
this surgery, right?

They won't know

how many blood vessels have burst
until they open it up.

It's not because of me, right?

Don't worry.

She's always had the problem.
It has nothing to do with you.

Right, it's not my fault.

Ma, let's talk.

I have a lot of things to tell you.

What's up?
It's not even Thursday.

Don't look at me like that.
I know I'm embarrassed.

You said you could keep
a secret till death?

I needed someone to listen to me.

I don't know...

Maybe...

I came here to talk...

about something...

It's so embarrassing.

To put it in my real
boring and cheesy way,

I, Moon Yu-jeong,
tried to commit suicide 3 times.

I was raped,

by my cousin,

when I was 15.

He had a wife,

and a kid.

Bastard!

I got raped by my cousin.

The end.

It's nothing, right?

This is my first time telling
this corny story to anyone.

I thought I would feel

so miserable and pass out
right after finishing this story.

I'm perfectly fine.

So say something,

even if you don't have
anything to say.

Nah, I'm regretting this.

Why did I even bring this up?

Sorry.

Why?
Why are you sorry for me?

Because of a guy like me...

Blame it on me.

Don't be silly.

I had a hard time getting
this off my chest.

Why are You pretending to be cool?

You cry-baby,
where did that handsome face go?

Ugly fool...

- It's my seat.
- Did you pee here?

Sure, I did!

Do you know what it's called?

It's called thistle,
really persistent.

Cleaners pulled them out,
but they just keep coming back.

The more you step on them,
the stronger they get.

Thistle?

I like the name.

I feel sorry for
the cleaners though.

Even grass like thistle
struggles to survive...

How come are you
so quiet these days?

Are you tired of
beating up people?

Maybe I'm ready to go?

Yun-soo, I heard they had
the 'chamber' cleaned up.

Who ever goes first

Let's meet at a good place.

Hey! Thistle!

I had a snow fight today.

It was my first time.

I'm thinking about
what I've done so far...

and why there are so many things
I haven't tried yet.

Maybe it's because of that?

I feel like this is
the first winter I've ever had.

It could be my last winter.

I haven't done many things,

or been to many places.

It'll be Thursday in 2 days.

You don't know how much
I'm looking forward to Thursdays.

I wish everyday is Thursday.

And it's only
my wishful thinking.

Wow-it's cool.

I can walk around here all day.

It's the best gift ever in my life.
Seriously!

Maybe you'll pass out
when I show you this?

Am I being too nice?
It doesn't seem fair.

I cooked for the first time.

This is rice, isn't it?

I slept well that night,
after a long time.

Thanks, Yun-soo.

I couldn't sleep
at all that night...

- Why not?
- I felt weird.

I never thought that

rich people could be miserable
and want to die, too.

I never imagined,

a beautiful girl like you,

would want to die.

They say, even one tiny thorn
feels painful

more than anything on earth
when it's in you.

Wow!

Finish it.
Don't leave anything!

Can I be honest
and tell you something?

Sure. Anything!

To be honest,

these rolls are too salty.

You are silly...

You asked me... so silly.

I don't deserve...

to meet...

someone and have fun.

Why not?

Do I deserve it then?

My friend stabbed her
with a knife,

And I took,

a ring off,

of her finger.

You feel horny?

You wanna do her?

Hey, she's so into you.

Shut up.

Where's your boss?

- She's not here.
- She's fucking hiding again.

She owes me 3 days payment.

Let her know
I'm raising the interest rate.

Hey, Yun-soo!

So nice to see you,
what are you doing here?

I'm done for the day.
Why don't we have a few drinks?

- They're on me!
- Next time.

Later?

Let's go.

See you tomorrow.

Make sure you tell your boss
about the interest rate.

Hey, Yun-soo!

- Where's Yun-soo?
- Oh, My...

What's wrong with her?

She has an ectopic pregnancy.

It'll cost us at least 3M won.

Give me that money back
that I lent you.

You know I got no money.

Shit, it's fucking salty.

I lent it to you over a year ago,
you asshole!

You have an appetite, huh?

Don't do this.
We are all friends.

Do you know Tae-sun, right?

He's got this geek...

I can't do it with this hand.

- Are you interested?
- Crazy bastard.

You know I promised to Min-ok
I'd never do that again!

What do we do then?

I got no money and your wife's
almost dead.

Do it one last time.

What else can you do?

Why the long face, huh?

You open the door,
I'll do the rest.

You better keep your word.

I'll give you 3M plus 2M.

Deal?

This drives me crazy.

Whoever's cheated me out of my money
ended up crippled.

So, pay me back right away!

- Let's go.
- What the hell!

I don't have any place to sit!
Damn it.

Stop bullshitting and
just come over to my house.

I gotta go.

- Ms, Hong!
- Hey, what are you doing here?

Yoon-su, we have plenty of time left.

I'll give you all the money you need.
How many times have I told you?

Just relax, chill out, ok?

Hong, nobody's cheated you
before, right? '

They'll be all fucked up
if they did.

You remember that girl?

She cheated me and so you sold her
to an island, remember?

How is she doing by the way?
You think she's alive?

Oh, please!

- Cheers.
- Yeah.

- Yun-soo, cheers!
- Drink!

Try this,
it's a real good whisky!

- Here.
- For me.

Wow, you're a good drinker.

I'm so fucked up.

Yun-soo, Yun-soo.

Take Hong to her room.

Hey. Do something for me, will ya?
I'm going crazy.

What are you doing?

I know your girlfriend is sick.

I heard everything,
I'll pay for it.

So do something for me in return.

I'm so lonely.

Ma!

Yun-soo, this is much better right?

Shit! Calm down... Calm down!

Yun-soo, all we need to do is
get her stuff, right?

Hey, do yourjob! Move! Move!

Don't forget the knife!

Do something, stupid!

Why?

Why did you say,

you killed them by yourself?

I thought they loved me.

My friends,

and the girl with my baby.

I tried to trust people
for the first time...

All I wanted to do was die.

Bullshit.

Aren't you angry?

I thought I deserved to die,

no doubt.

And life has been like hell.

But I...

want to live.

I'm suggesting we only save
his life, not release him.

All they do is lying.

Like you said, killing is wrong.

But what about the government
murdering people?

That's not murder, it's execution.
The execution of law.

- Either way, it's murder. Homicide.
- Let's stop here.

I don't understand
why you are obsessed with this case.

If you have time to care about this,
why aren't you caring for our mom?

How old are you?

Me?

15!

- What?
- Since that day, I've been 15!

Yu-jeong, Wait...
Yu-jeong!

Did something really
happen that day?

Mom once mentioned

that you got picked on.

Okay. Stop.

Tell me. Did something
really happen that day?

Now...

...you're curious?

Am I crazy that I write
a petition for him, huh?

You're asking me to die
for Yun-soo?

Sure, I'll do it.

Do you want me to ask
my family to protest

'Don't Kill Yun-soo'
in front of the court house?

Or you want me to put on an ad

that I should be killed first,
not Yun-soo?

You have a visitor!

Is my sister here?

Give me a minute.
Let me wash my face real quick!

Did both of ya come all the way
just to tell me that?

My lord who gives me real life

Maybe I should quit.
I can't do this anymore.

It is like that
when you first start it.

Have some barbeque
and forget it, man.

It was my button that killed him

It felt so disgusting
when I pushed that button.

I did it. I killed a man.

Not you.
Those bastards killed him!

Sit!

My wife went to see
a fortune teller,

The reason we haven't had
a baby for over 10 years

is because I have
this crappy job.

The fortune teller said
our baby's afraid of coming out.

What did I do wrong?

Don't I have a right
to be a father?

It's good that he's gone,

though I feel sorry for him.

There won't be any executions
for a while.

Let's enjoy winter.

Officer Lee!

Yes?

You think God

will accept a jerk like me?

Good job.
Handsome girls & boys, let's go!

I met Tae-sun.

Sorry.
I should've persuaded him more...

No. Yu-jeong...
Can I call you just Yu-jeong?

I'm just happy when I think
of Thursdays when you come see me.

It's so good to be able to
smile like this.

Good things never disappear.

I'll...

die anyway, but...

my life was not
a total failure, right?

What are you doing?

No, nothing.

Very nice.

Girls like that.

You like her, don't you?

Do you like Ms. Moon?

- No.
- Hey, come on.

I'm doing this simply
as a token of my thanks...

Somebody will be so happy.

'You asked me'

'what I wanted to do the most.'

'Lf I get to pick one thing,
I want to go to see the ocean.'

'Would you like to come see
the ocean with us? '

'Lt's just 1 hour away
from here by train.'

They have no clue about me.

From the address,

they might have thought
I'm a big boss in town.

Would you...

Do you want me to go with them?

I'll do it for you as a favor.

I knew you would say.

That...

So I made this...

Let me see your hands.

Wow. You're a true artist, not me.

I haven't drawn a picture
since I came back from abroad.

I'm making 1 more
for Sister Monica.

My hand is cold...

Are you bragging you
have a warm heart?

It's much warmer...

My ears are also itching.

Somebody's gossiping
about you...

I don't care,

I feel just great nowadays...

I can't go out, but I wish

I could live on forever
even inside these walls,

writing letters...

...to kids.

You will have a good news...

Yun-soo, time's up.

Damn,

it goes so fast...

And Yu-jeong,

It's my birthday next week...

Really? What do you want
for your birthday gift?

I'll think about it.

Yu-jeong,

Get me Nike Shoes!

Jeong Yun-soo!

Don't you call me Yu-jeong.
I'm much older than you.

Call me Sis, If I buy you
that shoes. Alright?

I'll think about that, too.

There's no such thing
as execution order...

Good Morning!

Hello?

This is Lee.

This doesn't taste right.

Who made this?

What are you doing?
Come and sit.

Ma, you're not dying right?

Why are you doing this again?

There's nothing I can do.

That's why I'm here.

To...

forgive...

you, Ma!

Ma!

Ma!

- What is it?
- Ma!

Min-suk said there was
something to tell me

and asked me to come over
to his room. But then...

Ma, it hurts so much...

I'm scared, ma.

Shut up, stop crying!

Don't be so silly.

What the hell
did you do to him?

Ma, no...
I didn't do anything wrong...

Keep your mouth
shut around your brothers!

You should feel
ashamed of yourself!

Till my death,

I was going to hate you.

I hated you even more,

than Jung Min-suk.

But I'm here now,

to forgive you.

If there's a God,

he would know killing myself

is much easier
than forgiving you.

I wish,
if I make this sacrifice,

he will show me
the miracle!

Of saving his life.

Ma. Don't die.

It's ok you torment me...

Just stay alive...

3987, Yun-soo Jeong, visitor!

What day is it?

It's not Thursday.
I'm expecting no one.

Don't tease me.

Wow! That must be Yu-jeong.

Now she's visiting anytime?

Get yourself ready.

Am I dying today?

Shit. I thought I'd be so scared,
but I feel nothing.

Can I finish this, though?

It almost got me.

Hold on!

3987, State your name
and address.

Yun-soo Jeong,
Sung-nam Kyung-ki district.

Is this correct?

Yes.

You have been sentenced
to death according to

Article 338 of the Criminal Law.

Do you have a religion?

Speak, my son. Leave a will.

I apologize to,

those who I've hurt.

And their families

I'm so sorry.

Ms. Park who
has forgiven me...

I'm so sorry,

and I appreciate your forgiveness.

I was reborn through
your courage,

and to all of the officers
who've been taking care of me,

Thank you.

Officer Lee!

Thank you so much.

I'm so sorry.

I have worried you,
Sister Monica.

And thank you.

I thought this life had turned away
from me once and for all,

but later,
I learned about love.

Sister Monica,

you sent me an angel.

Yu-jeong!

Yu-jeong! Are you there?

Can you see me?

Do you hear me?

Yu-jeong!

Don't forget my face.

You are a smart girl!

I appreciate all
you've done for me, Sis.

I love You.

Yu-jeong!

I love you, too...

Until the East Sea's waves are dry

Mount Paektusan worn away

God watch o'er our land forever

Our Korea manse

Rose of Sharon, thousand miles
of range river land

Guarded by her people...

I'm scared.

Even the anthem doesn't work.
I'm scared!

Justifiable.

Justifiable!

Pm. 10 - 11 on Thursday
Maundy Thursday
