Mrs. Baek.

Mrs. Baek!

Soo-jin was an accident.

And my friend was an accident, too.

Mrs. Baek, you know

I didn't mean to do that.

Mrs. Baek!

Mrs. Baek!

I told you Mr. Yang saw

Soo-jin in Seoul!

I didn't do that on purpose.

Mrs. Baek!

Mrs. Baek...

Why are you being Iike this?

I haven't done anything!

Why are you doing this to me?

Mrs. Baek!

PIease Iisten to me.

Since Mr. Yang saw her,

I thought that she was alive.

So if you Iisten to my story...

Mrs. Baek!

Wait a minute.

I didn't do that on purpose.

Mrs. Baek, where is Soo-jin?

Where is Soo-jin?

Why are you bothering me?

What happened?

Chan-shik!

Chan-shik!

Chan-shik, open your eyes!

Open your eyes, boy!

Chan-shik! Don't Ieave me!

This can't happen!

No, Chan-shik!

Chan-shik!

Chan-shik, open your eyes!

Chan-shik!

Chan-shik!

Stop there!

I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose.

They killed Soo-jin.

You should've Ieft

when I told you to.

Why'd you rehash

what we wanted to forget?

Everyone Iived forgetting about it.

Why can't that happen?

You knew?

Stop it.

If you talk too much,

things will get harder...

How could you when you knew?

You can't understand.

It was too Iate anyway.

Dumb idiots should've Iived well

if they were given a chance.

Yes!

The construction

will be done by next week.

Are you joking with me?

If I say so, it will happen.

I told you bastards

not to hang around here!

Chan-shik!

Did you clean up the warehouse?

I can make it before the

inspection by the county governor.

Okay, okay.

You take care of public relations.

And bring a Iot of reporters!

Okay, okay.

That bastard.

Sheriff... Help...

Who did that?

I don't know,

One of them four probably did it,

If you want to know,

that can't happen,

You're crazy!

You're insane!

So, even if you're curious...

Even if it's hard on you...

You should know

how to Iive patiently.

We've Iived Iike this for 20 years,

but you ruined everything.

Since everything ended up Iike this,

how could I forgive you?

Hee-soo!

Hee-soo!

Hee-soo!

Hee-soo!

Damn it!

Hee-soo!

Yeun-hee, how shall we play?

Hee-soo! Hee-soo!

Hee-soo! Hee-soo!

Myung-su!

My son!

Why are you here, boy?

Hee-soo!

Hee-soo! Hee-soo!

Young-joon!

Are you alright?

Are you cold?

What about Hee-soo?

That's absurd!

If I write a story about

how martyr Yoo Kwan-soo was tortured,

is that plagiarism?

You idiot!

Damn a**holes.

No matter how hard I try,

I can't get rid of the plagiarism charges.

No one believes me.

Do we have to do this?

I don't know whether

it's foolish or silly.

Hello?

It's the truth!

It's the real damn truth!

Are you okay?

To be precise, hearing Soo-jin's

story and writing it is plagiarism.

I decided not to deny that.

But still.

I want to write that story again

in an entirely different way.

Perhaps, the writer and her daughter

will be the main characters.

AIso, you'II be in it.

Will you really be okay?

I made my mind up.

It's rare for the writer to

come out directly.

The press will have a fit.

Isn't that what you'd hope for?

Are you admitting it now?

Yes, I read that manuscript

when I was a judge at the time.

It's true that I read the manuscript

by writer Sim Jung-yoon.

Whether it was by intention or not,

it was a similar concept.

I don't want a new writer

to vanish as a result of this.

I hope the committee judges whether

it was plagiarism or not.
