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

00:13:20 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

00:15:38 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?

00:17:05 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

00:21:43 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

00:27:17 You give me strength!

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...

00:43:15 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

00:48:51 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

00:53:38 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

00:02:18 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

00:10:20 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

00:13:35 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
