The Last Witness Page #2

under my former classroom.

Some nights the prisoners went

out to get food, taking Seok.

They call it

'supply operations'.

And our pursuers never

noticed our hiding place.

One more step and you die.

That's enough.

From now we'll

dig towards 2:
00.

You think you'll survive

two days on this gruel.

Look at your face, it's already bloated

and dark. We're walking corpses here.

If they find us, you think we can

escape through that tunnel? Idiots!

Soldiers and policemen

are all over the town.

We'll all starve before

finishing that tunnel.

That is all the food we have!

What's going on here?

He tried to escape.

Execute him at once.

Why aren't you sleeping?

A full moon again.

You want something delicious?

Seok, I'm not a rabbit.

Get down!

Promise me, Seok,

you'll be with me always.

Promise!

Ji-Hye, if you no longer exist,

then neither do I.

We will survive this.

I promise.

Excuse me.

Who is it?

Detective Oh Byung-Ho

from Seoul.

Come in.

Whose face are you carving?

Someone you love?

If I carve the face of someone

I love, I make a face of sadness.

It turns into the face

of one love.

You mean, Sohn Ji-Hye's face?

If you'd renounced your ideology

in prison, you'd be released.

I know you are not

communist. Then why?

Long ago, there was a boy.

Because he had been born

as a lowly servant's child,

the boy had no hope

for his future.

One night,

the landlord's daughter at night

suffering from fever.

The boy ran a long way

to call a doctor at night.

While running

he promised to himself:

If she dies, I die.

If she dies, I die.

As the boy who ran all

the night so fervently wished,

the girl survived.

At that moment, the boy found

meaning in his life.

I'll ask one last question:

Did you kill Yang Dal-Soo

and Kim Jung-Yeop?

According to records, Han

Dong-Ju was Excuted in 1952.

...and Hwang Seok was sentenced

to death for espionage.

What happened to Shon Ji-Hye,

codename 'Black Narcissus'?

She was set free,

even though she was a

Communist party member.

Strangely enough,

Sohn started living with Yang

Dal-Soo, who had arrested her.

Yang then abandoned

his family on Geoje Island,

and disappeared with Sohn.

Hwang Seok, after

serving 49 years in prison,

was released last May.

I didn't notice anything

suspious when we met.

You can't tell he's innocent.

Kim Jung-Yeop, who was

strangled at the lake,

was the policeman who

falsely charged Hwang Seok.

Moreover, Yang Dal-Soo took

Sohn Ji-Hye, who Hwang loved.

So Hwang Seok has a Motive.

Then how can we explain

the murder of Detective Suh?

The man was a gangster from

L.A., wanted by F.B.I.

He was a professional killer.

So why did you kill him?

We could have made hum talk.

What was Hwang Seok's alibi?

He refused to give an alibi.

But there is one coincidence.

The murder took place the day

after Hwang Seok was released.

Let's take Hwang Seok

in for questioning.

Hwang Seok.

I'll ask you again.

Where were you from 10p. m. on

May 9th to 1am the next morning?

If you refuse to answer,

we'll have to take you

into custody. I'll ask again.

Where were you from 10pm on May

Can I speak to Ms. Sohn Ji-Hye?

- Can I help you?

- I've come to see Ms. Sohn.

- Can I ask who you are?

- I'm a police officer.

I am Sohn Ji-Hye.

You were the one who

called yesterday.

What would you like?

I came to ask about Hwang Seok.

Sun-hee, could you

go out for lunch?

Yes, madam.

What did you say?

Hwang Seok?

- Is he alive?

- Yes.

We are currently

investigating him.

Is he well?

How is he?

He's fine.

If you want to help him,

please cooperate.

I want to hear what happened

after the end of this diary.

It happened a few days after my

diary vanished with Kang Man-ho.

Lay down your weapons

and come out!

You are completely besieged.

If you surrender,

we'll let you live.

Surrender right away!

Don't stop! Keep digging!

You, dig! Now!

All the prisoners

who ran out died.

I could hear their screaming

among the flames.

All of them died so.

The 16 year-old prisoner,

who only wished to go home

and sleep by his mother,

he died, too.

Seok, look at the flower.

It can live, even on the rock.

Hwang Seok. Sohn Ji-Hye.

I will kill you first,

and then I will follow.

We'll be remembered as heroes,

dying for the revolution.

Goodbye.

While I distract them,

you take Ji-Hye out of here.

Go to Jiri Mountain,

you know the

direction better than me.

You must keep Ji-Hye alive!

Seok!

I'll survive, to meet you again.

Until the next time we meet,

keep this for me.

Seok! Seok!

Seok...

Han Dong-Ju barely managed to

escape with me from the mountain

but we couldn't get off Geoje.

Han Dong-Ju was shot then?

Han Dong-Ju is not

a man to die so easily.

Han Dong-Ju came to see

Yang Dal-Soo of his own will.

There must have been some

transaction between the two.

Han Dong-Ju informed Yang

where I was hiding:

...the fireplace in my kitchen.

Finally, I was caught

by Yang Dal-Soo.

When they took me in,

Seok was already there.

Destiny treats those

who resist harshly,

and it drove Seok

and me to ruin.

I decided...

to accept my destiny.

Kim Jung-Yeop suggested

a way to get Seok release:

It was to transfer

all my property to him.

I could give up my

property to save Seok.

Seok was released,

not knowing anything.

There was another

condition in the deal.

Yang Dal-Soo wanted me.

At that moment, my only

thought was to save Seok.

And this was the

only comfort I had

to get me through my

life in darkness.

Can I ask what

happened to your eyes?

Death was the only was

to escape from Yang Dal-Soo.

I took some poison.

Instead of my life, I lost my

sight, and he discarded me.

Quite an old story.

Have you ever heard

the name 'Agimo'?

Excuse me.

I remember now.

When we lived together,

Yang Dal-Soo often visited Japan,

perhaps for smuggling.

He told me an old schoolmate

in Japan helped him a lot.

His name was 'Shintaro'.

Han Dong-Ju was also

Yang Dal-Soo's schoolmate...

Han Dong-Ju, buried in 1952'

I solved the puzzle of the word

'Daeryang', found of the victim.

Tea-rang-

it's the Japanese nane 'Taro'.

Suspecting that the murderer

might be Japanese,

I sent the frame of the glasses

found at the crime site to Japan

and it was found to have been

made in Miyazaki, Japan.

The man who ordered the

glasses is Maeda, Shintaro.

His given name ends in 'Taro'.

We neglected one thing.

Yang Dal-Soo called Shilla Hotel

once on the day he was murdered.

Maeda Shintaro was visiting

Korea at the time on business.

He was taped on

CCTV from Shilla Hotel.

He's surely Maeda, Shintaro.

Han Dong-Ju faked his death

in 1952 and moved to Japan.

This is him.

We must go to Japan to

complete our investigation.

I'll get evidence to indict him.

We must be cautions.

He is Japanese

and a former politician.

- I can do this.

- The meeting is over.

Lieutenant!

I said meeting is over!

- Yes?

- It's me.

I'm giving you
