I had a dream once |
00:01:36 |
I'm not sure if |
00:01:40 |
and it doesn't matter |
00:01:44 |
Even if it doesn't come true |
00:01:47 |
I'll keep dreaming that dream |
00:01:52 |
If there's destiny in life |
00:02:00 |
I might wish to do so |
00:02:05 |
But... |
00:02:13 |
By joining the rebel army |
00:02:15 |
and breaking the |
00:02:19 |
On Aug. 15, 1952 |
00:02:23 |
to 15 years in prison |
00:02:25 |
directed by |
00:02:29 |
For spying for the North |
00:02:31 |
and breaking the |
00:02:35 |
on July 25, 1953 |
00:02:39 |
Kim Sun-myung to death |
00:02:42 |
THE ROAD TAKEN |
00:02:52 |
February 27, 1954 |
00:02:55 |
After a retrial of the |
00:02:59 |
we finally sentence him |
00:03:05 |
From Seoul Prison |
00:03:08 |
to Daegu, Daejeon, Mokpo |
00:03:13 |
and back to Daejeon |
00:03:16 |
I was transferre |
00:03:19 |
and I met many comrades |
00:03:28 |
I was an ignorant laborer before |
00:03:30 |
But one day I began to recite |
00:03:35 |
and became a veteran inmate |
00:03:49 |
And then in 1970 |
00:03:54 |
I... |
00:03:56 |
I faced a big test to my fate |
00:04:02 |
And with people I'll never forget |
00:04:07 |
Move it! |
00:04:09 |
Hurry and go into your cells! |
00:04:28 |
Comrade Ahn! |
00:04:32 |
Comrade Kim! |
00:04:34 |
Welcome |
00:04:36 |
Nice to see you again |
00:04:39 |
Hello, it's a pleasure |
00:04:50 |
Comrade Kim |
00:04:54 |
I'm Kim Sun-myung from Mokpo |
00:04:57 |
Choi In-gyu from Gwangju |
00:05:00 |
Humane |
00:05:03 |
I envy you! |
00:05:13 |
You're lucky |
00:05:14 |
I haven't had toasted rice |
00:05:21 |
What's the matter? |
00:05:25 |
I was thinking of my mother |
00:05:29 |
Time to eat! |
00:05:33 |
Let's eat |
00:05:52 |
I'm freezing, hurry up |
00:05:55 |
I'm going in |
00:06:27 |
It looks like the needlework |
00:06:34 |
Is Master Lee here? |
00:06:37 |
He gave me one, too |
00:06:40 |
Is he healthy? |
00:06:42 |
What cell is he in? |
00:06:46 |
I haven't seen him |
00:07:11 |
Guwol Mountain |
00:07:14 |
The home of partisans |
00:07:18 |
For my country |
00:07:22 |
Raise it up high |
00:07:28 |
Oh, it's cold |
00:07:33 |
My nickname is Jindo Dog |
00:07:37 |
And I'm still single |
00:07:39 |
I'll get married after |
00:07:46 |
Now Jindo Dog will sing |
00:08:02 |
Cell 15! |
00:08:08 |
3279, you're being moved |
00:08:36 |
- Comrade Ahn |
00:08:41 |
- Comrade Nam |
00:08:45 |
- Comrade Kim |
00:08:56 |
My nickname is Lark |
00:09:04 |
I'd like more rice |
00:09:07 |
They've starved me |
00:09:39 |
This is good medicine |
00:09:42 |
Here |
00:09:45 |
Try it |
00:09:51 |
I'm sorry |
00:09:55 |
Hunger is one thing |
00:10:10 |
Write |
00:10:13 |
And erase |
00:10:14 |
Let me try it |
00:10:19 |
This is amazing |
00:10:22 |
Comrade Kim |
00:10:24 |
Comrade Kim |
00:10:30 |
'Black bean noodles' |
00:10:33 |
All you think about is food |
00:10:36 |
'Hometown' |
00:10:39 |
Reminds me of home |
00:10:41 |
Reunification |
00:10:43 |
What's that? |
00:10:50 |
Who made this? |
00:10:55 |
- Do you all want to die? |
00:10:58 |
You again? |
00:11:00 |
What's this for? |
00:11:05 |
- You see... |
00:11:07 |
Well... |
00:11:09 |
You see |
00:11:13 |
What? Drawing? |
00:11:16 |
For drawing, I see |
00:11:21 |
Wait, what's after |
00:11:24 |
It's reunification |
00:11:26 |
What? |
00:11:30 |
- Nixon made a statement |
00:11:34 |
- I heard they'll let us play sports |
00:11:38 |
President Park |
00:11:40 |
A Korean Japanese student |
00:11:43 |
One of those thugs snatched |
00:11:45 |
Let's get them back |
00:11:48 |
The North and South |
00:11:52 |
July 4, 1972 at 10am |
00:11:55 |
Pyongyang and Seoul |
00:11:58 |
1st, to discuss reunification |
00:12:02 |
2nd, to discuss reunification |
00:12:06 |
3rd, reunification by national |
00:12:11 |
They compromised |
00:12:16 |
Comrades, the North and South |
00:12:21 |
Reunification is coming! |
00:12:24 |
Am I dreaming? |
00:12:26 |
I feel so ecstatic! |
00:12:32 |
Comrades |
00:12:34 |
Comrade Kim, pinch me |
00:12:39 |
Mother |
00:12:41 |
Comrade Kim |
00:12:47 |
The suffering is over |
00:12:49 |
If the statement is true |
00:12:51 |
I'll live a happy life with |
00:12:59 |
It's been so long since |
00:13:03 |
Comrade Kim |
00:13:07 |
I'll introduce you to one |
00:13:09 |
Great! |
00:13:10 |
You're 40 something, right? |
00:13:13 |
But I still feel like a boy |
00:13:16 |
But Comrade Kim |
00:13:20 |
What are you doing? |
00:13:23 |
The North-South negotiating |
00:13:25 |
And the North-South Red Cross |
00:13:30 |
They'll probably mention us |
00:13:33 |
The North knows |
00:13:37 |
so they'll talk about an |
00:13:41 |
Comrade Choi |
00:13:44 |
Now you can sleep well |
00:13:49 |
I've envied Comrade Kim for |
00:13:55 |
Letters and visiting hours |
00:13:59 |
I felt like dying then |
00:14:02 |
It's too early for optimism |
00:14:05 |
In reality |
00:14:09 |
I'll make you all sleep |
00:14:14 |
Comrade Nam, there's a way |
00:14:21 |
This smells like |
00:14:27 |
Come on |
00:14:56 |
Bed time! |
00:15:05 |
Sweet dreams everyone |
00:15:07 |
I'll send a woman |
00:15:19 |
Her soft pink skirt is |
00:15:29 |
On the hill of my hometown |
00:15:38 |
I'm running to her |
00:15:49 |
Here! It's a special meal! |
00:15:56 |
Do you know what this is? |
00:15:58 |
- Isn't it a boiled egg? |
00:16:04 |
- It's been so long |
00:16:10 |
Eggs, eggs, boiled eggs |
00:16:15 |
It reminds me of my wife |
00:16:18 |
3237! |
00:16:20 |
- What are you doing? |
00:16:23 |
I haven't been this touched |
00:16:28 |
Okay, okay |
00:16:30 |
While we're at it |
00:16:32 |
10 more minutes for showers? |
00:16:36 |
I'll go ask the supervisor |
00:16:42 |
Sure thing |
00:16:43 |
If we sing louder |
00:16:46 |
know where it's coming from |
00:16:49 |
Eggs, eggs |
00:16:53 |
It reminds me of my wife |
00:16:57 |
Hey! Hey! |
00:17:01 |
Hooray! Hooray! |
00:17:05 |
The flame of reunification |
00:17:10 |
I'm not sure |
00:17:13 |
They said we'll be reunified |
00:17:16 |
No one knows yet |
00:17:19 |
You're not happy |
00:17:23 |
I'm happy |
00:17:26 |
If it happens |
00:17:29 |
Like me |
00:17:32 |
don't you think |
00:17:36 |
What do you mean |
00:17:38 |
Isn't yourjob to |
00:17:43 |
Maybe so |
00:17:46 |
But think I'll have |
00:17:48 |
Instead I'll be able to do |
00:17:52 |
First, I'll get married |
00:17:54 |
And... |
00:17:57 |
I used to run a bicycle shop |
00:18:01 |
So I want to open |
00:18:09 |
What about you? |
00:18:13 |
No health problems, right? |
00:18:17 |
It's the interview form |
00:18:19 |
Fill it out |
00:18:21 |
Frankly, I do want reunification |
00:18:24 |
but not through the North |
00:18:27 |
I don't understand you |
00:18:32 |
And I don't have |
00:18:39 |
Whichever way |
00:18:42 |
Then do you want |
00:19:14 |
Why hasn't there |
00:19:17 |
It'll happen soon |
00:19:20 |
Hopefully so |
00:19:21 |
Comrade Kim, if you get freed |
00:19:28 |
As for me... |
00:19:31 |
We won't be totally free |
00:19:36 |
is possible like in the 60s |
00:19:39 |
Emotions are our enemy |
00:19:46 |
Comrade Kim |
00:19:51 |
And you too |
00:19:55 |
To give Comrade Nam |
00:20:00 |
but have you ever considered |
00:20:03 |
Don't you think |
00:20:10 |
You're rather romantic |
00:20:13 |
You're always too careless |
00:20:17 |
Let's analyze the situation |
00:20:21 |
Hear that anti-North program? |
00:20:24 |
Unification Revolutionary Party |
00:20:31 |
Think a sentence reduction |
00:20:34 |
But they say that |
00:20:51 |
How was your wife? |
00:20:57 |
And your daughter? |
00:21:00 |
My fellow citizens |
00:21:03 |
Respecting your earnest wish |
00:21:12 |
I'd like to announce |
00:21:17 |
First, from |
00:21:23 |
the National Assembly |
00:21:25 |
parties' political activities |
00:21:29 |
These are some of the clauses |
00:21:33 |
Nice to meet you |
00:21:35 |
I'm Oh Tae-shik |
00:21:38 |
South Korea is the republic |
00:21:43 |
As part of our |
00:21:46 |
we've removed old homes |
00:21:49 |
to modernize our country |
00:21:52 |
So having political prisoners |
00:21:57 |
is totally unacceptable |
00:22:00 |
So my squad will do its best |
00:22:06 |
I hope you'll convert quickly |
00:22:13 |
That is all |
00:22:22 |
Stop staring you bastards |
00:22:27 |
Whoever here can't convert |
00:22:32 |
Good, now you got it |
00:22:35 |
This is national business |
00:22:37 |
It means I'll be patriotic |
00:22:41 |
If anyone of you bastards |
00:22:45 |
I'll make you regret you |
00:22:53 |
Who was it? |
00:23:01 |
Sons of bitches, now I can |
00:23:05 |
You fucking commies! |
00:23:28 |
That's enough! |
00:23:40 |
3596 |
00:23:47 |
You sons of bitches! |
00:23:51 |
Do you want to die? |
00:23:54 |
Filthy bastard, kill me |
00:23:57 |
Instead of selling my soul |
00:24:01 |
I'd rather die |
00:24:03 |
and send my soul up |
00:24:05 |
Fine, I'll kill you |
00:24:08 |
I'll count to ten |
00:24:10 |
If you change your mind |
00:24:12 |
One |
00:24:13 |
Two |
00:24:15 |
Three |
00:24:17 |
Four |
00:24:18 |
Five |
00:24:19 |
Six |
00:24:21 |
Seven |
00:24:22 |
Eight |
00:24:23 |
Nine |
00:24:25 |
Ten! |
00:24:31 |
You're lucky today |
00:24:33 |
You commies |
00:24:37 |
Fine, then I'll kill you |
00:24:40 |
You? You? |
00:24:43 |
You? |
00:24:44 |
Who wants to die? |
00:25:17 |
3596! |
00:25:21 |
Sorry to disturb your meal |
00:25:24 |
Come out |
00:25:40 |
Comrade Choi... |
00:25:49 |
Go in |
00:26:01 |
Boys, it's time for orientation |
00:26:04 |
Show some respect! |
00:26:10 |
You bastard |
00:26:14 |
You should first |
00:26:20 |
Look away |
00:26:23 |
Bastard |
00:26:26 |
Bastard! |
00:26:30 |
Wanna die? |
00:26:37 |
3596, feeling good? |
00:26:41 |
You look good |
00:26:44 |
Does it tickle? |
00:26:47 |
Don't screw with me! |
00:26:50 |
Or you'll be dead meat |
00:26:58 |
Who is it? |
00:27:03 |
Be strong |
00:27:12 |
It's Kim Sun-myung |
00:27:17 |
You give me strength! |
00:28:18 |
Eat! |
00:28:40 |
It's snowing |
00:28:43 |
Father, I love you |
00:28:48 |
It's so upsetting |
00:28:55 |
Father, I want to run to you |
00:29:03 |
but the high wall you made |
00:29:12 |
Father, please let us in |
00:29:18 |
Don't you know how much |
00:29:26 |
I'm going to convert |
00:29:31 |
I feel like I could do more |
00:29:40 |
I don't care |
00:29:44 |
It's not because |
00:29:47 |
Or that my older brother |
00:29:53 |
I'm not learned enough |
00:29:56 |
and I'm not a strong person |
00:29:59 |
I won't convert |
00:30:05 |
This is my life |
00:30:13 |
I dislike you all now |
00:30:16 |
I hate when Comrade Kim |
00:30:20 |
I hate listening to |
00:30:25 |
And the screams |
00:30:29 |
Every morning I wake up |
00:30:34 |
I feel like |
00:30:36 |
Comrade Nam! |
00:30:39 |
I hate being born and having |
00:30:48 |
I don't care about reunification |
00:30:49 |
Have you lost your mind? |
00:30:51 |
Why? Am I wrong? |
00:30:54 |
Why? Why? |
00:30:56 |
Come on |
00:31:00 |
and talk honestly |
00:31:03 |
Be honest, comrades |
00:31:04 |
Aren't you scared |
00:31:07 |
And scared of being beaten |
00:31:10 |
Comrade Nam |
00:31:11 |
Comrade! Comrade! |
00:31:27 |
Comrade Kim |
00:31:37 |
Will it come? |
00:31:41 |
If it comes, I will bear it |
00:31:44 |
and I will even die for it |
00:31:46 |
What are you saying? |
00:31:51 |
Comrade Kim |
00:31:55 |
I'll do what you tell me |
00:32:06 |
I'm sorry, comrades |
00:32:10 |
Do you know whose |
00:32:15 |
I was wondering |
00:32:19 |
There's no answer |
00:32:22 |
Is it some protest? |
00:32:25 |
3596! |
00:32:27 |
Think us KCIA agents care |
00:32:32 |
You could die for this |
00:32:35 |
Born in 1925 in Yangpyeong |
00:32:39 |
A previous factory worker |
00:32:43 |
Captured at the 38th parallel |
00:32:49 |
I asked around and |
00:32:51 |
I heard you're a docile guy |
00:32:53 |
Drink the coffee |
00:32:55 |
I don't like coffee |
00:32:58 |
Suit yourself |
00:33:01 |
I'd like to take you outside |
00:33:08 |
I'm already content |
00:33:11 |
I'd prefer you extend |
00:33:15 |
3596, you're quite stubborn |
00:33:20 |
Okay, you can go |
00:33:22 |
But I'll be watching you |
00:33:29 |
I hope you don't |
00:33:32 |
I don't give second chances |
00:33:37 |
Why? |
00:33:39 |
Got something to say? |
00:33:42 |
- Go |
00:33:45 |
from a historical perspective |
00:33:48 |
Reunification is our ideal hope |
00:33:51 |
Ideal hope? |
00:33:55 |
Communism is mankind's |
00:34:10 |
Comrades! |
00:34:15 |
Comrade Ahn! |
00:34:18 |
Master Lee! |
00:34:19 |
- Comrade Nam! |
00:34:22 |
- Comrade Choi! |
00:34:26 |
- Comrade Kim! |
00:34:28 |
How have you been? |
00:34:32 |
How is your health? |
00:34:42 |
I wonder why |
00:34:45 |
Never know when they'll |
00:34:49 |
Even though they're |
00:34:52 |
Oh, I should've asked |
00:34:56 |
I heard you were in solitary |
00:34:58 |
Are you really okay? |
00:35:02 |
Recite that song |
00:35:06 |
I longed to hear it |
00:35:09 |
A place where |
00:35:20 |
Master Lee, I'm fine |
00:35:24 |
A dog's nose has to be warm |
00:35:27 |
but people need |
00:35:31 |
But why did you wake up? |
00:35:33 |
Because your singing |
00:35:37 |
A place where |
00:35:44 |
It's my beautiful hometown |
00:35:51 |
Where labor |
00:35:58 |
Where labor makes |
00:36:04 |
While I, Park Jae-yong |
00:36:07 |
have served time for breaching |
00:36:11 |
I have realized South Korea's |
00:36:16 |
Now, I regret my crime |
00:36:19 |
and swear that I will never |
00:36:22 |
And I will also be loyal |
00:36:25 |
to the law and order |
00:36:29 |
We have to make a decision |
00:36:34 |
Don't you think |
00:36:40 |
I also think we're too fatigued |
00:36:45 |
Then do you |
00:36:50 |
Is starving to death or getting |
00:36:57 |
It would be better dying |
00:37:03 |
Dying is not the issue |
00:37:05 |
it's whether |
00:37:09 |
Even if we starve to death |
00:37:11 |
I don't think it'll |
00:37:15 |
So do you |
00:37:21 |
If you don't |
00:37:26 |
Comrade Kim |
00:37:27 |
Have you forgotten |
00:37:33 |
Leaving this only as |
00:37:36 |
is an irresponsible thing to do |
00:37:41 |
Comrade Kim |
00:37:43 |
don't you think it's wrong |
00:37:45 |
- pretending to care for others? |
00:37:50 |
You're always dogmatic |
00:37:54 |
Comrade Kim |
00:37:58 |
What's wrong with you two? |
00:38:03 |
A mountain has more |
00:38:08 |
Both of you are right |
00:38:15 |
I agree with Comrade Ahn |
00:38:19 |
Comrade Nam |
00:38:21 |
Will it be okay with your |
00:38:26 |
I'll overcome it for our cause |
00:38:31 |
The majority of us has agreed |
00:38:39 |
If that's the decision |
00:38:43 |
Did you hear him |
00:38:46 |
If we go on a hunger strike |
00:38:53 |
It could be tough |
00:38:56 |
You may be right |
00:38:58 |
Their methods of coercion |
00:39:01 |
and our physical conditions |
00:39:05 |
Let's wait for the |
00:39:13 |
But... |
00:39:23 |
You! |
00:39:25 |
Come out |
00:39:44 |
You've all done a greatjob! |
00:39:47 |
Mr. Park, congratulations for |
00:39:53 |
Mr. Song, work harder so you |
00:39:58 |
Mr. Park, I heard |
00:40:00 |
Good for you! |
00:40:03 |
Let's toast to working harder! |
00:40:06 |
Cheers! |
00:40:19 |
What are you doing? |
00:40:22 |
Remember that your body |
00:40:29 |
Struggle against the food |
00:40:38 |
I'm sorry |
00:40:42 |
I'll listen to you from now on |
00:40:47 |
I won't eat |
00:40:49 |
and I'll chew 80 times |
00:40:53 |
What's going on in here? |
00:40:56 |
I was |
00:40:59 |
Are you fucking crazy |
00:41:02 |
- Hello |
00:41:08 |
You'll have to move |
00:41:13 |
Please come out |
00:41:20 |
I'm being trandsferred |
00:41:23 |
Comrade Nam |
00:41:30 |
Master Lee |
00:41:46 |
Don't worry |
00:41:47 |
He'll be released soon |
00:41:52 |
She's the President's wife |
00:41:56 |
She's close to his family |
00:41:58 |
And since they've been |
00:42:02 |
she'll help him |
00:42:05 |
Even if she does |
00:42:09 |
- Please drink |
00:42:12 |
Bring our guest a nice suit! |
00:42:17 |
Let's go see the 31st Building |
00:42:20 |
On the way, we'll see the |
00:42:25 |
and a newly developed Seoul |
00:42:27 |
The New Town Movement? |
00:42:29 |
It was already done long ago |
00:42:35 |
Is that right? |
00:42:37 |
As I heard |
00:42:40 |
You could become |
00:42:44 |
but why waste |
00:42:49 |
Can you pick a comfortable life |
00:42:54 |
You should do more |
00:42:59 |
Even if it's for the people |
00:43:01 |
I cannot sell my conscience |
00:43:04 |
You're also working |
00:43:08 |
So I bet you're also upset |
00:43:15 |
Your cousin from Seoul |
00:43:20 |
You bastards |
00:43:32 |
If the correctional officer |
00:43:35 |
you should be grateful |
00:43:41 |
You bastards! |
00:43:45 |
Let's see how much |
00:43:47 |
Sign it! |
00:43:52 |
Be humane, you bastards! |
00:43:56 |
Humane! |
00:44:09 |
What the hell is the problem |
00:44:14 |
We're doing our best |
00:44:18 |
So what? |
00:44:20 |
So you're saying |
00:44:25 |
Wake up, you fools! |
00:44:28 |
They're commies! |
00:44:29 |
You could lose yourjobs |
00:44:32 |
Use your heads |
00:44:37 |
Long time ago |
00:44:40 |
This man tried everything |
00:44:45 |
But the monk |
00:44:48 |
So do you know |
00:44:51 |
- Mr. Song! |
00:44:55 |
Call the ones who converted |
00:44:58 |
Nowadays clothes get fitted |
00:45:01 |
So treat them each differently |
00:45:12 |
You must be hungry |
00:45:21 |
Honey, eat this |
00:45:25 |
Why are you so nervous? |
00:45:30 |
Go ahead and eat |
00:45:36 |
Are you impotent? |
00:45:40 |
Relax, it's all right |
00:45:49 |
You son of a bitch! |
00:45:51 |
Want to sign it with a full |
00:45:57 |
I don't get why I have to |
00:46:00 |
You son of a bitch! |
00:46:03 |
Guard! |
00:46:05 |
Why make it |
00:46:13 |
Isn't it better to sign this |
00:46:18 |
rather than die |
00:46:22 |
Die like a dog? |
00:46:29 |
Forget it |
00:46:32 |
The President himself |
00:46:36 |
since the North keeps harping |
00:46:42 |
You were born in the South |
00:46:45 |
So don't be stubborn |
00:46:47 |
- Is it my fault? |
00:46:50 |
What matters is |
00:46:55 |
I'd rather die |
00:47:00 |
- So please stop trying |
00:47:04 |
The longer I want to live |
00:47:08 |
Do you know |
00:47:11 |
It's about choice |
00:47:15 |
It's not choosing between two |
00:47:21 |
On Independence Day |
00:47:27 |
someone ran with a flag |
00:47:32 |
'Whether rich or poor |
00:47:38 |
Know how much these words |
00:47:42 |
Mr. Song. You said |
00:47:47 |
Did we steal anything |
00:47:50 |
All we did was |
00:47:56 |
Know what I'm |
00:47:59 |
That I'll give in before I die |
00:48:04 |
Whenever I feel like vomiting |
00:48:07 |
I say to myself |
00:48:11 |
'How hard will I get |
00:48:28 |
Are you Sun-mi? |
00:48:35 |
You look just |
00:48:39 |
Thank you |
00:48:41 |
You were always |
00:48:46 |
I'm sorry to you |
00:48:51 |
Please understand |
00:48:54 |
I've come to ask you a favor |
00:48:56 |
Please don't bother |
00:49:06 |
Go home now |
00:49:08 |
You'll understand me someday |
00:49:15 |
I can never understand you |
00:49:17 |
Where were you when those |
00:49:19 |
and pushed me off the bridge? |
00:49:23 |
I was so scared then |
00:49:26 |
You're like a |
00:49:29 |
To our family and to my life |
00:49:33 |
I still dream of |
00:49:38 |
I hate you |
00:49:44 |
I'm very sorry |
00:49:50 |
I'm getting married |
00:51:21 |
You're such a weak |
00:51:23 |
and cunning son of a bitch |
00:51:26 |
Hey asshole, are you human? |
00:51:42 |
Get inside |
00:51:48 |
- Welcome, Comrade Choi |
00:51:51 |
- Comrade Kim |
00:51:53 |
Please sit down |
00:51:57 |
You must've been through a lot |
00:51:59 |
They must've |
00:52:02 |
By the way |
00:52:03 |
how are Comrades |
00:52:08 |
They're all fine |
00:52:33 |
Heard everyone in cell 12 |
00:52:36 |
They seem to have some way |
00:52:38 |
I heard they were |
00:52:57 |
Why did they call you? |
00:53:01 |
Like always... |
00:53:05 |
Like always? |
00:53:08 |
You know |
00:53:13 |
Anyway, has sometdhing |
00:53:17 |
What did they ask you? |
00:53:21 |
This and that |
00:53:30 |
But Comrade Choi |
00:53:35 |
That's strange |
00:53:38 |
Why did they |
00:53:47 |
I can't go back in there |
00:53:50 |
Please, I'll do anything but that... |
00:54:01 |
Son of a bitch |
00:54:04 |
You lied and said |
00:54:08 |
Fine |
00:54:13 |
Lick it |
00:54:37 |
While I, Choi Jong-man |
00:54:39 |
have served time for breaching |
00:54:44 |
I have realized South Korea's |
00:54:51 |
Now, I regret my crime |
00:54:55 |
and swear that I will never |
00:00:04 |
to the law and order |
00:00:23 |
3596! |
00:00:32 |
3869! |
00:00:38 |
3782! |
00:00:43 |
3160! |
00:00:49 |
3185! |
00:00:53 |
Gifts from outside! |
00:00:59 |
Bread |
00:01:17 |
Candy |
00:01:39 |
Exercise time! |
00:02:13 |
Comrade Joh, throw it away |
00:02:18 |
Try to hold on |
00:02:24 |
Don't lose your self-esteem |
00:02:28 |
Exercise is over! |
00:03:17 |
It's gotten moldy |
00:03:21 |
But it's still edible |
00:03:24 |
It's the blood and sweat |
00:03:28 |
It would be a waste |
00:03:39 |
I should eat it |
00:03:42 |
I should be thankful and eat it |
00:03:48 |
Comrade Joh, throw it away |
00:03:51 |
Don't lose your self-esteem |
00:03:56 |
Comrade Kim |
00:04:00 |
Comrade Kim |
00:04:09 |
Have you heard about |
00:04:15 |
- He converted |
00:04:20 |
No way |
00:04:22 |
He's no master |
00:04:24 |
He swore he'd never let them |
00:04:28 |
What? |
00:04:29 |
Greeting the guards is |
00:04:32 |
He always acted like |
00:04:36 |
I despise him |
00:04:38 |
Everyone thought he |
00:04:42 |
- He must've had some reason |
00:04:46 |
But we'll rot away here |
00:04:50 |
Like a shout without an echo |
00:04:53 |
What are you talking about? |
00:04:56 |
Maybe he converted |
00:05:01 |
Comrade |
00:05:05 |
Let's stop talking |
00:05:26 |
Comrade Kim, take this |
00:05:30 |
- Comrade Park |
00:05:34 |
I got it from a convict |
00:05:37 |
Eat it |
00:05:52 |
'The dark night will vanish |
00:05:54 |
and freedom will |
00:05:58 |
'Within the dark deeps |
00:06:01 |
Who did you |
00:06:04 |
You hid them, didn't you? |
00:06:06 |
Tell me now! |
00:06:09 |
You better hurry |
00:06:13 |
Please don'tjoke |
00:06:16 |
I didn't give it to anyone |
00:06:17 |
Shit, then why are |
00:06:20 |
Rotten bastards! |
00:06:22 |
You know I can't live |
00:06:24 |
Then tell me |
00:06:26 |
Or otherwise convert |
00:06:31 |
You spit at me? |
00:06:38 |
Come out! |
00:07:15 |
How dare you lie down |
00:07:17 |
Sit straight! |
00:07:19 |
Is he sick? |
00:08:08 |
Han Baek-yul, born in 1922 |

Park Yoon-ki! |

Block communication |
00:09:03 |
I'll put the convicts |
00:09:17 |
Young-ja, my sister |
00:09:23 |
Are you all right over there? |
00:09:31 |
Your brother here... |
00:09:44 |
Stop it! |
00:10:20 |
Comrade Kim |
00:10:24 |
Are you feeling better? |
00:10:26 |
I'm being watched |
00:10:32 |
They've gone too far |
00:10:35 |
Rotten bastards |
00:10:37 |
Since we were born human |
00:10:39 |
we should live |
00:10:46 |
What do you mean? |
00:10:50 |
Since they blocked |
00:10:54 |
we can't even |
00:10:59 |
If this continues |
00:11:05 |
Someone must stand up |
00:11:10 |
What do you mean? |
00:11:13 |
Master Lee |
00:11:17 |
Comrade Kim, take care |
00:12:34 |
Master Lee Young-woon |
00:12:36 |
Bring him back to life! |
00:12:42 |
Bring Master Lee back! |
00:12:46 |
Bring him back to life... |
00:12:51 |
Bring him back to life! |
00:13:04 |
Bastards, kill us all |
00:13:08 |
Kill us all! |
00:13:26 |
Kneel |
00:13:35 |
What's wrong with you? |
00:13:39 |
Kneel, damn it |
00:13:42 |
Kneel! |
00:13:48 |
You dodged me? |
00:14:02 |
Bastard |
00:14:03 |
Sons of bitches! |
00:14:09 |
I won't die alone |
00:14:11 |
I'm gonna take |
00:14:15 |
You bastards! |
00:15:48 |
Hurry and eat it |
00:16:43 |
Hello? |
00:16:45 |
Yes, sir! |
00:16:49 |
I understand |
00:16:53 |
This is the Assistant Warden |
00:16:58 |
on behalf of the warden |
00:17:00 |
I apologize for what |
00:17:04 |
So with this opportunity |
00:17:06 |
we will support and treat |
00:17:10 |
So we hope you'd end |
00:17:14 |
We promise... |
00:17:17 |
I'm sorry to hear |
00:17:22 |
You may think |
00:17:27 |
But outside |
00:17:32 |
I promise you one thing |
00:17:35 |
You will leave here either |
00:17:39 |
I'll walk out of here |
00:17:44 |
What use are your beliefs |
00:17:49 |
Even if you live |
00:17:51 |
Then why are you all worried |
00:17:56 |
- What? |
00:17:58 |
in a lost fight |
00:18:04 |
They say no matter |
00:18:07 |
you can win |
00:18:11 |
But how ever weak a man is |
00:18:15 |
Nice way to put it |
00:18:20 |
You killed Comrades |
00:18:23 |
Watch your mouth! |
00:18:28 |
Be frank and tell me |
00:18:31 |
why you're doing this |
00:18:40 |
What is it? |
00:18:44 |
It's me |
00:18:46 |
I'm not sick |
00:18:51 |
Mom's in the hospital? |
00:18:55 |
Okay |
00:19:00 |
I didn't drink |
00:19:05 |
So you're saying that |
00:19:11 |
is for your own good? |
00:19:15 |
Do you all believe that |
00:19:21 |
That's wishful thinking |
00:19:24 |
It's foolish to think that |
00:19:28 |
That's not worth dying for |
00:19:31 |
When did I ever say |
00:19:34 |
It's you all |
00:19:35 |
Look, don't take the |
00:19:40 |
Consider it as a |
00:19:42 |
If you don't want to join |
00:19:46 |
I don't trust |
00:19:49 |
If you acknowledge |
00:19:50 |
We're in special situation! |
00:19:55 |
The South can never |
00:19:57 |
So we have to ax bad trees |
00:20:02 |
An axed tree |
00:20:06 |
Think oppression |
00:20:08 |
- That's wishful thinking |
00:20:11 |
So you like communism and |
00:20:15 |
Whether it's the hero Kim Gu |
00:20:19 |
it's my freedom of choice |
00:20:22 |
Damn you! |
00:20:27 |
What are you looking at? |
00:20:30 |
Know why I hate commies? |
00:20:35 |
Is owning land such a crime? |
00:20:37 |
Ask my father |
00:20:40 |
Ask him why I limp! |
00:20:43 |
If I were the law |
00:21:08 |
Being punctual is the |
00:21:13 |
Love each other's body |
00:21:16 |
Always consider |
00:21:32 |
I want to go home! |
00:21:36 |
Where am I? |
00:21:37 |
I want to go home! |
00:22:55 |
You sons of bitches! |
00:22:58 |
You promised me parole |
00:23:01 |
Then you blame me for it all! |
00:23:03 |
Free me now or |
00:23:07 |
That Park Yoon-ki and |
00:23:13 |
That you beat them to death |
00:23:16 |
I've done all |
00:23:19 |
But why am I treated |
00:23:22 |
You rotten bastards! |
00:23:27 |
Winter has passed |
00:23:30 |
and spring has come |
00:23:35 |
The people |
00:23:39 |
A line we can't cross |
00:23:46 |
But nothing has changed |
00:23:51 |
The nightingale |
00:23:56 |
and the sun rises like always |
00:24:01 |
Indifferently... |
00:24:16 |
Mourning flag military police |
00:24:19 |
Has President Park died? |
00:24:26 |
Student demonstrations |
00:24:29 |
No, Do you know Jeon Du-hwan? |
00:24:34 |
He's an ex-soldier |
00:24:37 |
Another military coup? |
00:24:41 |
I swear that I will observe |
00:24:58 |
3596! Exercise time! |
00:25:10 |
Can you ask them to turn on |
00:25:15 |
They won't listen to me |
00:25:18 |
Of course, they'll listen to |
00:25:22 |
I feel like my dick |
00:25:37 |
It's the first snow of winter! |
00:25:43 |
Mother, it's snowing! |
00:25:48 |
Take care of yourself! |
00:25:50 |
Young-ja, wait for me! |
00:25:53 |
I'll be released when |
00:25:58 |
If every person has a destiny |
00:26:02 |
and even if it can't be chosen |
00:26:06 |
I've grown to love mine |
00:26:10 |
Because it's my destiny |
00:26:20 |
Sun-myung |
00:26:24 |
It's your favorite rice |
00:26:30 |
3596! Go to your cell! |
00:26:33 |
Sun-myung! Sun-myung! |
00:26:35 |
Sun-myung! |
00:26:36 |
Sun-myung!! |
00:26:44 |
Mother! |
00:27:43 |
Gifts! |
00:27:57 |
Comrade Kim |
00:28:01 |
Happy birthday! |
00:28:04 |
Happy 60th birthday! |
00:28:16 |
Happy birthday! |
00:28:17 |
Now it's time to get married! |
00:28:53 |
Comrade Choi |
00:28:57 |
It's Kim Sun-myung |
00:29:01 |
I remember |
00:29:04 |
It's so good to see you |
00:29:06 |
I thought you were released |
00:29:10 |
They made me finish my time |
00:29:14 |
A special pardon would be nice |
00:29:19 |
Although I'm free |
00:29:23 |
- You'll be out soon |
00:29:26 |
I have to go |
00:29:28 |
I've missed you so much |
00:29:32 |
If you see me next time |
00:29:34 |
And you must visit me |
00:29:39 |
Take care |
00:29:44 |
Take care |
00:30:13 |
Comrade Kim |
00:30:19 |
I've been in jail so long |
00:30:21 |
I've forgotten how to speak |
00:30:25 |
And I keep forgetting things |
00:30:31 |
I feel the same, Comrade Ahn |
00:30:33 |
That's why I repeat things |
00:30:37 |
When I was young |
00:30:42 |
- I feel like I'll become a fool |
00:30:46 |
But you're learning |
00:30:49 |
Have you forgotten |
00:30:56 |
Thank you |
00:31:00 |
Did you get the money? |
00:31:03 |
The money from |
00:31:06 |
No, I got some from |
00:31:10 |
Not that one |
00:31:12 |
I heard it's from some |
00:31:20 |
I think it was |
00:31:22 |
Mingahyeop? |
00:31:26 |
Mingahyeop... |
00:31:33 |
Salute! |
00:31:35 |
Inspection by the new officer! |
00:32:04 |
Get out of here! |
00:32:06 |
How dare you come back? |
00:32:10 |
Leave here! |
00:32:11 |
Why did you come? |
00:32:16 |
You rotten bastard! |
00:32:18 |
I wanted to talk about |
00:32:26 |
It's all in the past now |
00:32:31 |
I never hated |
00:32:37 |
Park Yoon-gi and Choi In-gyu |
00:32:40 |
and I didn't know |
00:32:43 |
- Lee Young-woon was... |
00:32:45 |
It's no use now to say |
00:32:51 |
I know everything |
00:32:53 |
I know you're meeting me |
00:33:01 |
I don't want to |
00:33:07 |
I just want |
00:33:10 |
Back then I |
00:33:17 |
By the way |
00:33:22 |
I'm not sure myself |
00:33:25 |
since it's always changing |
00:33:28 |
You and me |
00:33:34 |
I've worked very hard |
00:33:39 |
But I can't tell my son |
00:33:46 |
I thought I was a patriot |
00:33:52 |
but I don't know anymore |
00:33:56 |
Sometimes |
00:33:59 |
That I was also imprisoned |
00:34:06 |
Buy me a drink outside |
00:34:12 |
Yeah, dreams are wonderful |
00:34:16 |
But it hurts |
00:34:20 |
A person should do at least |
00:34:25 |
That's my dream |
00:34:28 |
Just like me |
00:34:42 |
I've forgiven them |
00:34:45 |
You should do the same |
00:34:50 |
My father and sister |
00:34:57 |
I couldn't find their bodies |
00:35:01 |
since I was a 'commie' |
00:35:21 |
You're my sister-in-law? |
00:35:24 |
Yes, I am |
00:35:28 |
Mr. Kim, it's your |
00:35:32 |
It's the first since my uncle |
00:35:38 |
So no visits |
00:35:41 |
You should buy me a drink |
00:35:46 |
You look just |
00:35:49 |
You even smile like him |
00:35:57 |
He resents you very much |
00:36:06 |
Know how much |
00:36:11 |
It would've been better |
00:36:20 |
Your mother is still alive |
00:36:29 |
I didn't mention you to her |
00:36:33 |
If I did |
00:36:37 |
She always talks about you |
00:36:44 |
She believes you're still alive |
00:36:47 |
She won't die |
00:36:51 |
Mother |
00:36:56 |
Your mother is still alive |
00:37:02 |
Mother |
00:37:28 |
Miss your mother, right? |
00:37:30 |
My mother? |
00:37:36 |
What's that? |
00:37:38 |
An application for release |
00:37:41 |
If I get you one |
00:37:45 |
If you agree, then I'll |
00:37:50 |
I know you don't trust people |
00:37:53 |
So if I get you a release form |
00:37:55 |
just write down |
00:38:01 |
So you mean that |
00:38:05 |
Want to hear |
00:38:08 |
You can throw away |
00:38:13 |
but not small things |
00:38:15 |
Aren't they the same thing? |
00:38:17 |
- The USSR, East Germany... |
00:38:19 |
Stop, you have to go |
00:38:23 |
- The prosecution? Why? |
00:38:26 |
45, 43 and 39 years |
00:38:34 |
The world's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd |
00:38:37 |
What a record |
00:38:39 |
Mr. Kim Sun-myung |
00:38:44 |
Is the prosecution |
00:38:50 |
If no conversion policy exists |
00:38:52 |
then unconverted prisoners |
00:38:57 |
You call this |
00:39:01 |
Then what developed nation |
00:39:06 |
Do they make their youth |
00:39:11 |
Or do they even add years |
00:39:16 |
You've imprisoned us almost |
00:39:24 |
With an absurd law like that |
00:39:27 |
is it right imprisoning people |
00:39:33 |
Why did you call us here? |
00:39:38 |
In two days, you'll be specially |
00:39:42 |
Kim Sun-myung |
00:39:45 |
Even with this pardon |
00:39:49 |
so as you leave this place |
00:39:52 |
Be careful of |
00:39:54 |
Whenever you leave home |
00:40:11 |
For a man |
00:40:15 |
the day he has longed for |
00:40:20 |
It's frightening |
00:40:25 |
but good things |
00:40:30 |
Not knowing what lies ahead |
00:40:33 |
could bring a person happiness |
00:40:38 |
If a person has a road to follow |
00:40:43 |
and if I could choose mine |
00:40:47 |
could I choose to |
00:40:56 |
I'm afraid |
00:41:00 |
Take care, Comrade Lee |
00:41:03 |
Good-bye, Comrade Kim |
00:41:14 |
Comrade Kim |
00:41:17 |
I feel like |
00:41:26 |
Comrade Kim |
00:41:30 |
Comrade Choi |
00:41:33 |
Take care of yourself |
00:41:41 |
Comrade Nam |
00:41:49 |
I'm sorry |
00:42:40 |
Good-bye, 3596 |
00:42:46 |
Good-bye |
00:43:36 |
Kim Sun-myung, why were |
00:43:41 |
People think freedom |
00:43:46 |
but the freedom I chose |
00:43:53 |
You may not understand |
00:43:56 |
but true freedom was in there |
00:44:00 |
It was my conscience |
00:44:19 |
Kim Sun-myung |
00:44:22 |
(imprisoned for 45 years) |
00:44:29 |
Here's your son |
00:44:30 |
Mother |
00:44:35 |
- Is that you Sun-myung? |
00:44:39 |
Is that you, Sun-myung? |
00:44:42 |
Why didn't you |
00:44:50 |
You should've |
00:44:56 |
I'm ninety four now |
00:45:05 |
Kim Sun-myung was |
00:45:07 |
and was released on special pardon |
00:45:10 |
During his sentence |
00:45:12 |
of which 21 years |
00:45:16 |
His mother died two months |
00:45:18 |
And his brothers |
00:45:20 |
June 15, 2000, the North-South |
