Fuckir hell...

This is ridiculous!

Look at this car,

look at the way...

The driver must be a real...

I'd like to see his face.

Is this your car?

You can't just park...

Why are you here?

What about you?

I'm... a parking volunteer

for the church.

You go to church?

I'm trying to be a

good boy now.

See you later.

You owe me a drink!

Mr Kim!

Shin-ae... you're here.

Why are you coming to church?

That's a hard one to answer.

Why come to church?

I want to believe!

Really? No other reason?

You've got me all wrong.

I do have faith in God.

You do?

Can you swear to it?

Eh?

Can you swear before God?

God is watching us right now.

So, can you swear you have faith?

# Blessed assurance,

Jesus is mine

# Oh, what a foretaste

of glory divine

# Heir of salvation,

purchase of God

# Born of His spirit,

washed in His blood

# This is my story...

# ... this is my song

# Praising my Savior...

# ... all the day long

June Piano,

frankly I don't get it...

You keep saying you're happy,

but what makes you happy?

Well, it's...

...something I just feel.

It's like being in love.

You're happy to know there's

someone always thinking of you.

God loves me and

watches over me.

I feel it every moment,

deeply...

...and it gives me

so much happiness.

I wish I were in love!

Then come with me!

You can fall in love...

...and your hubby

won't be jealous!

Don't be shy!

Okay, I'll come.

But not right away.

Later, when my in-laws

pass away.

Then I can skip their

sacrificial rites!

That won't do!

That's no reason to go to church!

Come on...

Think ahead a bit!

It's not for my own sake.

For whose, then?

For my kids!

To make their life easier!

Are you serious?

What great kids they'll

turn out to be!

So you go for love...

And you go to skip rites!

# He lived and died to

buy my pardon

# An empty grave is there to

prove my Savior lives

# Because He lives...

# ... I can face tomorrow

# Because He lives...

# ... all fear is gone

# Because I know

He holds the future

# And life is won'th the living

just because He lives

Gotta hand it to you, man...

Going to church for a woman!

Singing outside the station!

So how's it going?

Getting there?

You got it all wrong,

it's not like that.

Oh yeah?

Last Sunday

I climbed Mt Jiri...

I bared my chest...

...and dropped my pants...

...to absorb Qi for you!

And it's all gone to waste!

It wasrt even the first time.

I did it on Mt Naejang...

...and on Mt Halla.

I tanked up on Qi,

all for your sake...

And then I forgot to

pass it on to you!

I've got enough of

my own, a**hole!

I'm going up Mt Sorak

next week.

You want some Qi from there?

It'll be too crowded to

collect any!

Reminds me of smoking behind the

bike-sheds... it tastes that good!

Our Father which art in heaven.

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth

as it is in heaven.

Give us this day

our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts.

And forgive us our debts.

Hee-jung, don't do that

while I'm driving.

Sit tight, okay?

We're there!

Bye, Ki-beom!

You too, Hee-jung!

Sorry, I'm running late...

Bye!

Bye!

You think you're smart?

Well, do you?

Drop your hand!

Answer me!

Don't f*** with me!

I'm very sorry.

What's wrong with you?

Sorry, I just blanked.

You call that driving?

- I'm very soty.

- "Sorry" isn't good enough!

You might have killed someone!

Don't stare at me!

# You were born to be loved

# You feel that life-long love

# The love of Our Lord,

as old as time itself

# Brought to earth

in our company

# Having you here with us...

# ... brings us so much joy

The best-dressed should

present the bouquet.

I felt I should dress up...

It's an honor.

Congratulations.

It's lovely.

Thank you all so much...

I forgot it was my birthday.

There's something

I want to tell you.

On the way here,

I made a decision.

I'm going to visit

the prison this weekend.

The prison? Why?

Someone I know is inside.

The man who killed my son.

Why do you want to see him?

To forgive him.

He gave me so much pain...

But God tells us to love and

forgive our enemies.

Mrs Lee, you are astonishing!

You really need to see him to

forgive him?

I do.

I need to go myself...

...to tell him

I've forgiven him.

And to spread God's love.

It's not easy...

...to forgive.

The hardest commandment...

...to observe faithfully...

...is the one to

love thine enemy.

It's been in my mind for

some time, reverend.

Since I allowed God into my life...

...I've been wondering how...

...I could show my gratitude.

Mrs Lee, may God be with you.

Now, let us pray together.

Lord, Our Father,

I thank you.

For being with us...

...and guiding us day by day.

So that we may follow

Thy words.

Father...

To repay you for...

...enduring the cross

for our salvation...

...I thank You for giving us the

courage to forgive others.

Father...

May Your amazing glory...

...shine with our faith

Guide us...

...to fulfilment

in Thy glory.

We thank you, and pray in

the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Let us bless each other...

I love and bless you...

Shin-ae, I will pray for you.

Thank you...

Wish me luck.

- Have a safe trip.

- I'll pray for you.

Thank you.

Who's driving you?

Mr Kim said he would.

Well, that's no surprise.

Mrs Lee...

Wish me luck...

Don't worry.

I'll pray for you.

Yes, thank you.

This doesn't feel right.

What doesn't?

Can't you just forgive him?

Going to the prison to

forgive him in person...

It just doesn't seem necessary.

You're not a saint, you know.

So you don't want to

drive us there?

I didn't say that.

I'd love to take you on a drive,

just the two of us...

It won't be just we two.

Mrs Oh and Mrs Park

will come too.

Really?

So...

...are you taking us or not?

Let's go! Whatever you say...

Come on, let's go!

How do they bring prisoners

here? By car?

Well, they certainly

don't walk here!

Lee Sun-ha.

Visitors for Jung Sung-hoon.

No. 6153, Row 27, Cell 1.

Kim Jung-mim.

Visitor for Lee Jong-ku

No. 6405, Row 27, Cell 2.

Lee Shin-ae.

Visitor for Park Do-seob...

No. 6012, Row 27, Cell 3.

Please come to the waiting room.

Be strong!

Good luck!

You look better than I expected.

I'm sorry.

No, you should be well.

God gives good health to even

the worst of sinners.

These flowers...

I picked them by the road

on the way here.

It must be hard to see flowers

in this place.

Pretty, aren't they?

These flowers are

also gifts from God.

The reason I've come here...

...is to spread

God's grace and love.

I never knew such things.

I couldn't believe in God.

I couldn't see Him,

so I didn't believe.

But...

...through my Jun...

...I learnt of God's love.

I found peace and a new life.

I'm so thankful...

...and so happy to feel

God's love and grace.

That's why I came.

To spread His love.

Thank you.

I truly thank you.

Hearing from you...

...about Our Lord...

...makes me truly thankful.

I too have gained faith.
