Today's service in memory of

HAN Sang-woo,
Brother Paul...

...who passed away
1 year ago.

May the Lord wash away
my sins

and purify my soul.

With the power of the Holy Spirit
make this holy...

And let it be the body
and blood of Jesus Christ.

Nothing's changed.

It's been a year,

but it feels like
just yesterday.

We haven't met since then.

So, how have you been, dear?
Can I still call you that?

Of course.

I heard you quit the station.
Why?

The church asked me to film
a documentary.

Something I wanted to do...

Have you heard about him?

He's probably
in high school by now.

I still don't get why you were
so quick to write the petition.

You know how Mom was
in the States?

She wrote it,
but didn't forgive in her heart.

If she let her anger out,

she may not have died
so quickly.

Mother agreed to the petition, too.

Mom liked you.

She did it because she was afraid
of losing you, too.

Didn't you know?

Sang-woo would've wanted it, too.

He's dead.
How would you know?

He wouldn't rest in peace
without forgiving.

So...

Are you at peace
after forgiving?

Yes.

That's good.

Well, then...

When are you going back?

Tomorrow.

So soon?

Happy birthday.

Open it when you can
understand me.

- Aren't you sick of that?
- What?

Oh, this is all I have.

You used it for years.

How long?
Wasn't it since first year?

Like 8 years.

You always said you wanted to get
an umbrella from a boyfriend.

I wasn't asking you to buy it.

Yeah, right.

You said it for me to hear.

You wanted to get romantic
when it rains...

No, I dated you because
you gave it to me

and thought you liked me.

Then we started dating
based on a misunderstanding?

Stop it!

It's Ji-seok, again.
Should I Ignore it?

Answer it.

You're still out?

I can't tonight.

I drank with you for days.

You'll be discharged
from the army soon.

It's Da-hae's birthday tomorrow.
I gotta stay with her.

You ran out of money?
Then work for it.

Why'd you hang up?

He hung up.

What now?
Take a cab!

I can't understand ya.

Hey!

What did he say?

He's sobbing.
I can't understand him.

He's crying?

Why are you crying Ji-seok?

What?
You're lonely?

He won't stop.
What should we do?

I'll drop you off,
then get him.

I'll just take the bus.
Come back quick.

Sang-woo's on his way.

Stop crying.
Being dumped is not the end.

Okay, I'll introduce someone
when you come out.

Crazy? None of my friends will
date someone in the army now.

Stop crying!

He always hangs up first.

My umbrella!

Hi, when's this on sale till?

That's the only one left.

You're open till late today.

My husband's still out drinking.

MISSED CALL
1 VOICE MAIL FROM HAN SANG-WOO

Who is it?

Ji-min?

Ta-da!
Happy birthday!

Were you sleeping?

Wasting your birthday like this...
That's why I came.

Thanks.
But how did you know?

- Sang-woo told me, before.
- He did?

I'm smart, remember?

What's that on your face?

- What?
- What's this?

Oh, this?

How did this happen?

It's nothing.
I got hit.

What? From who?

So naive.

I fell off my bike.

Did my brother call?

Should've been careful.

Ji-seok's coming next week.

A business trip
at a time like this...

I'm sleeping over.
Today and tomorrow...

What about your place?

Don't you need a filming assistant?
Please?

Aren't you busy these days?

I'll do anything you say.

You worried about me?

Guess you can say that...

What?
Do your parents know?

Yup.

You'll really do anything I say?

Please, that's not like you.

Thank you, but it's too much.

Don't worry.

Forget the candles.

I know today's the day
Sang-woo passed away.

And I know that's why
you're here for me.

A death day here is a
birthday in the afterlife.

Sang-woo probably had
his first birthday there.

So let's put one candle
for Sang-woo and you.

Let's see.
Which color... This one!

So my birthday is the same as
Sang-woo's in another world...

Sang-woo?
It's me, Ji-min.

He called me completely drunk.

I'm taking him home
on a cab.

He called you, too?

My brother must've called
and bothered everyone.

Wake up.

It's Sang-woo.
He came to the pub. What now?

He's snoring.

Okay, then.

Here, too. Go home.

Wish Da-hae
a happy birthday for me.

Hi, Bong-soon!
How are you?

Long time no see!
Missed me?

Sister Sophia?

Why are you out in the cold?

Come with me.
There's someone you should meet.

I can't believe
we're all together like this.

God must really do exist.

Have you met Sister Sophia?

It wasn't easy for her to come.

I begged her to join us today.

Sister Sophia lost her daughter
10 years ago.

In a terribly sad way.

Sister Maria's son has been
on death row for 5 years.

Sister Clara lost her fiance last year,
but wrote a petition for the culprit.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

The offender on death row
has also accepted Christ.

Sister Sophia,
I asked you to come...

I know.

You want me to help fight
against capital punishment.

I told you
where I stand several times.

I know. But...

I still feel the same.

Even if he gets the death sentence,
you'll still feel the pain.

Murder cannot be repaid
by another death.

But if he doesn't die,
there's no requital.

Shouldn't we let the living live?

What about the dead?

The ones who were victimized?

Still, why kill a living person?

Exactly.

Your son is the one
who killed a living person.

Please melt your hardened heart

and show some mercy.

The air is too cold here.

Pardon?

How can you expect me
to melt my heart like this?

I cannot help it.

In God's eyes
all our sorrows are the same.

I'd better go.

Sister!

Please hug Sister Maria once
and comfort her.

Don't cry.

You promised me
you would think positively.

Sister Clara.
Since you forgave all already,

please give a hug
to Sister Maria.

You've organized everything.
Nothing for me to do.

My head's so lucky.

Why?

No one touched me
so softly before.

Why'd you change
the part in your hair?

Dad hit me during breakfast

and I lost a lot of my bangs.

I couldn't go to school like that.

So I changed the part
to the other side.

Can't tell, right?

Why you!
You're lying.

Whatever you say.

You know,
my head's really hard.

Yeah. Is it filled with rocks?

It's because I get hit every day.

I got a dent on one side
because I got hit over and over here.

It's on the left side.
Because my dad's right handed.

Why you!

More caressing, please!

I know you're rebellious.

But don't talk about your parents
like that. Be thankful.

I guess I am.

When I was 10, I beat all the boys
in a head-butting contest.

Want me to head butt you?

No way!

I hear the cell phone.
It must be inside.

Is something wrong?

Can't be.

Sister Clara?

I'm so sorry
to keep you waiting.

It's okay. Were you coming
from somewhere?

Yes. Let's go in.

I'm so sorry.
It must be stuffy in there.

Please, come in.

TAKE CAT TO VET AT 2 PM
I went to the vet without him.

It's okay.

My wife's not around to help,
so I have to do it.

I didn't know he was a serial killer,
because my family was the first.

They couldn't catch the culprit
for years so it drove me insane.

People thought
my family was killed

because someone wanted revenge on me.

When they caught him, I realized
my family wasn't the only one.

How can he kill
all those people...

How were you able to forgive?

I thought of stabbing him
over and over every day.

Then the priest said...

Hating others is
like drinking poison

then wanting them to die.

So I decided to forgive
no matter what.

After writing the petition,

thoughts of wanting to die
went away.

Hate the sin,
but not the person.

Nothing will get solved
by his death.

I am completely against him dying.

And the other families?

Did they forgive him?

Ah, not yet.

But in time, I know
they'll agree with me.

Did you meet the murderer?
Does he regret it?

- Ji-min!
- What!

I wrote letters
and went to see him.

But he avoids me saying
he's not worth forgiveness.

Many people are touched
by your act of forgiveness.

Is there anything you want to say
to those who have yet to forgive?

Cat's don't go in groups

because they don't need
each other's help.

They don't make-up
after fighting, either.

But humans are different.

Forgiveness is freedom
from pain.

Please forgive and love.

Why do you think
the murderer won't meet him?

It's in his interview.

I think
he got damn ignored.

Forgiveness should be a choice.

Why's everyone around
so demanding?

Don't ask any questions
during my interview from now.

I was just curious.
And you didn't ask.

I didn't ask
because there was no need.

Aren't you curious?

People who watch will
be like me.

But Da-hae?

Maybe he's against the death penalty
because he wants apologies for life.

The murderer knew that
and avoided him.

Why can't you accept things
as they are.

I think it's funny.

It's probably not
how we really feels.

How would you know?

Don't you ever regret forgiving?

No.

Then why the iceberg
in your heart?

Am I the only who sees it?

Let's drop it.

How's the guy who did that
to Sang-woo living now?

Should I know?

Shouldn't you?

He's a juvenile delinquent.

It's better that I don't know,
for him.

You don't even know
what he looks like.

If I see a kid his age,
I get angry.

Don't you?

He's probably
doing well in school.

How would you know?

His parents promised me.

So what?

You believe that?

You want to believe it!

Then you'll get stabbed
in the back.

This is why your parents
get upset.

I totally understand them.

Where are you going?

You're going home, right?

Ji-min? What's up?
How's Ji-seok?

Really?
I came to get him, too.

It's okay. Let him sleep.

I gotta go because
it's Da-hae's birthday tomorrow.

It's raining.

You take care, too.

I'm on my way. Stay inside
from the rain and wait.

I'll be right there.

It's past midnight.
Happy birthday.

I love you.

- Aren't you eating?
- I ate.

Where?
You didn't even go home.

Who cares.

I talked to Ji-seok.
He didn't know you were here.

Your parents must've been
so worried.

Go back home.

No way.

What's wrong with you?

You got accepted
into an Ivy League school.

And your parents will pay for you.
So what's your problem?

If it's so good,
tell them to go.

What?

You have a lot
to be thankful for.

You're blessed with so much.

I don't want to study anymore.

What?

If I place first, my parents
get happy. I hate that.

You don't study for your parents.
It's for your own good.

Better that our lives suck
than to see them happy.

So you'll ride a junk car
all your life

because you don't want them
in a new car?

Yeah!

That's it! Exactly!

I hope you become a great judge
like your father.

No way! Never!

Why?
It's what your parents want.

That's why!

Why you!

I warned you.

Why are you so weak?

Because I'm hungry.

You said you ate lunch.

I lied because I was afraid...

There's nothing to eat
around here.

I'll do the interview alone.
You go and eat.

No! I'm coming with you.

Promise you won't do
anything during the interview.

Then I'll buy dinner later.

Okay!

I was in middle school...

When my brother raped me.

- Your older brother?
- Yes.

My father's gone.

So, it was just Mom,
him, and me.

Mom blamed me instead.
Said I wasn't discreet.

So I got mad and
went to the police...

But Mom took his side
and called me a liar.

Then I ran away from home.

That was over 10 years ago.

You never went back
since then?

I heard news on them
through an old friend.

My brother is in prison
for murder.

My mom...

She is living a hard life.

Why are you crying?

Wanna see something weird?
Let's go.

I have a dent in my head.
Touch it.

Whoa, that's weird!

Did you forgive your mother?

I didn't think I ever could...

But it's funny...

After raising kids of my own...

I automatically forgave her.

Not losing her son was more
important than punishing him.

I would've done the same.

If her brother got punished before,

he wouldn't have killed someone.

The mother ruined her son.

But they're family.

Then it's okay to commit crime
to your family?

If my brother killed me
and Mom didn't report him,

I'd be so mad.

I'll kill them
even as a ghost.

How can you say that?

So good.

In God's eyes, people are
probably like pets.

Pets?

Dogs aren't killed
for killing dogs.

To avoid loss of another dog.

The owner doesn't need
justice done.

Only the dead dog's loss.

I guess that's true.

But what if another man's dog
killed my dog?

Or if someone killed my child?

That's why
we all need God's love.

Cut with one stroke!

Think it's easy as you say?
We're human.

Sang-woo was...

No! They're burning.
Darn it.

Aren't you eating?

I'm okay.
You eat lots.

You didn't eat yesterday
either, right?

It's like a birthday dinner.

What are you doing?

It's my birthday soon.
I'll save it on your cell.

What?

Know how many years
I can save it till on here?

No.

I'm on year 2040
but it keeps going.

This will live longer than me.

I saved it for 3 years
for now.

That's it?

Can I eat so well
when I didn't even do much?

You'd eat better at home.
Why the trouble?

I feel better this way.

Thank you so much.

Get away.

Ji-seok?

Why are you here?

Ji-min.

I told you to come tomorrow.

Did you call him?

- Where are you going?
- Let go!

- Why'd you turn your cell phone off?
- It's my choice.

You know how much
we were worried about you?

Worried?

Yeah, right.

Watch it.
You're asking for it!

You wanna beat me
like them?

Watch and learn, huh?

Go ahead and hit me
in front of her!

- Why you!
- Ji-seok!

Why'd I leave home?

Dad bragged about me
getting into college so I asked...

Why beat such a good daughter?

Know what he said?

He beat me for my own good
and that's why I got in!

He said I should be thankful!
The hell!

- Shut up!
- Ji-seok!

I'll kill you!
Just try and hit me!

Ji-seok, just go.
You go inside, now!

The longer you stay out,
Dad will punish you more!

Got that!

Calm down.

I'm embarrassed
you had to see all that.

I had no idea Ji-min
would go to you.

I didn't either.

It must be uncomfortable
for you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.
She's helping me.

Let her stay
a few more days.

Like she's any help.
She's just trouble.

Still, she's smart.

So what?
She needs to mature.

She's so different from you

though you're siblings.

You can understand
my parents, then.

Wait.

- Give her this.
- What is it?

She has a bad kidney.

Mom was worried
she left without her pills.

Tell your parents
that she's fine here.

Thanks.

And come by sometime.
They want to see you.

Okay.

See ya.

You went a little too far
with your brother.

Is that all you care about?

All parents love their children.

Because they're parents.

They sent your pills.

Don't do this.

Your parents are only getting older.

Damn it.

If a victim of child abuse gets revenge,
it's just elder abuse.

Funny.

Stop it.

So like a judge's daughter.

If Dad kills me
during a beating,

it's thought of accidental
not murder.

But if I kill my Dad
who beats me everyday...

Know what happens?

I don't care.

What parent kills his child?

Here.

Don't you watch the news?

They're people
who are poorly educated

or with mental illnesses.

So no way a reputable judge
could ever do that?

Well educated parents are good

and low educated ones aren't?

Anyway, your dad will
never do such a thing.

Let's go. I'm tired.

You think
I'm the bad one?

You're on their side
because of these damn pills?

My parents got divorced
when I was younger than you.

I'm just jealous you have a mom
who'll see to your pills.

Mom never understood me.

She always took Dad's side!

There must be a reason then.
Find the answer within.

You're always like this.

You keep running away
from Sang-woo's death.

Did you get an anesthetic called
forgiveness on your heart?

Is that why you never
get mad or go crazy!

What about you?

You act pitiful and
make your parents into bad people!

That's what you want to believe.
Because the truth is unbearable.

That's why you forgave the guy

who ran over Sang-woo twice!

What?

You're scared to hear
news on him.

In case he's still bad.

Why are you doing this?

Why'd you come here!

Because I'm mad
that you forgave like that.

Why?

You forgave without an apology.
That's fake!

You quit the station to do this...

Because you're not sure
of your forgiveness.

You're not sure
if you did right.

People don't know that
and praise you...

I hate people like you
the most.

Those who talk about forgiveness

when they don't even know it!

I can't stand it!

Go.

And don't come back again.

Back so soon?
Did you see my text?

That's weird.
Did you lose your cell phone?

Hello?

Stop it, dear!
Other people will hear!

Why crawl your way back in!

Come here.
Beg for forgiveness, Ji-min!

You told me
to come home for this?

Shut up! You have no respect
for your parents!

You know how much
we were worried about you?

And all you do is yell?

Your father always asked about you
the minute he came home!

No use talking
to this cocky kid!

Beg for forgiveness!
Hurry!

I left because he beat me every day!
It's not my fault!

You always do things
to deserve it!

If you didn't get beaten
you'd be a nobody!

Excuse the mess, please.

Sorry, you had come out here.

At first, I hesitated
when Sister Mary called.

Worried about stepping up
and have people talk and stuff.

How long did you run this store?

Since my husband was alive.
So, over 10 years.

We struggled so hard to open this,
but it happened not long after.

Here.

It's not enough.

It's okay. Go on.

Oh my.

My heart's beating fast.

Just relax.
You're doing great.

This is my husband's picture.

So much younger than me, now.

It happened a few months
after we took this.

I heard you forgave
with nothing in return.

He was sentenced for life,
but was released in 10 years.

Thanks to your forgiveness.

I didn't know.

Heard he's living well
with his family.

But I didn't receive

one letter of apology from him.

Who decides that
he's a changed man?

When we're struggling like this...

They sent him out early
without us knowing?

Should he be punished more?

I don't know about that.

I just want to ask him.

Why he killed my husband.
Why him?

If he cried and apologized...

Maybe I will feel more at peace.

Damn rules are so weird.

Why do others punish
and forgive for me?

Maybe he didn't call
because he's too sorry.

To live a good life
and make up for it?

No.

I heard he said
he paid for his sins.

Oh my.

If you're done your sentence,
is the fact of murder just gone?

Guilty conscience, too?

We don't forgive expecting
something in return.

Just let it go, ma'am.

That's what I thought at first.

But it makes me mad

that the model prisoner hasn't
even apologized yet!

I'm not seeking credit,

or I'd expect a thank you.

I just want to hear
that he's sorry!

If my forgiveness
wasn't for nothing...

I want to hear he's sorry.

Or...

I take back forgiving him.

Are these your children?

Yes.

I couldn't afford
to educated them well...

I sinned a lot against God today.

But I feel relieved
because you listened to me.

I should've offered you something.

It's okay. I'm fine.

Shit! I'm coming!

Fool! Back again?

The fax will take some time.

How's Sister Mary?
I haven't seen her in a while.

She's always busy.

That's her joy in life.

Though it must be hard
between the culprits and victims.

She's a big help.

But I think she takes too much
of the assailant's side.

Shouldn't we care for the victims'
family who are hurting?

Getting punished for killing
is only natural.

Inmates on death-row
have rights, too.

There is an order
to human rights.

If you want respect,
you have to earn it.

Who gets it for free?

They get 3, 4 years
and probation

if lucky for murder.

It's hard to go on death row.

Detective YOO speaking.

No, just ones
without second convictions.

Narrow it down for me
without causing problems.

It may be easier for a list
of those released on parole.

90% get released on parole.

What? That much?

And over 70% come back in
with second convictions.

So it won't be easy to get
what you asked for.

No way...

I heard many inmates repent
and change.

Maybe.

But their true nature
comes out when released.

What's wrong?

I can't believe this.

The guy who raped
a middle school girl last year

already got released.

So?

The victim's mother is going crazy.

Said she bumped into him.

She didn't faint?

The mother and daughter
can't go out since then.

How long did he get?
2 and a half years?

Yes, but he got out
after a year or so.

They had no idea.

He was a repeat offender, right?
Man, he's at it again.

She demands to know
where he lives.

But the lucky fool's info
is classified.

The mother's crying and begging...

Tell her so she can avoid him.

But, sir!
They'll have my head.

Shouldn't the victims know
if the culprit gets released?

Why?

It was their case.

They're not told even
if the culprit escapes from prison.

That's crazy.

The victims have to live in fear
of revenge their whole lives.

Strange world, isn't it?

Can the offender know
the victim's info?

Of course. That's why
people don't report much.

There are many revenge murders
after they're released.

So, do you think it doesn't help
to forgive them?

Not committing crimes again
is what's important.

Society just forgives
and there is no regret.

So crimes are repeated.

Irresponsible forgiveness
is a crime.

I want to find the boy,
but I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.

I'm also nervous
to just leave it like this.

I'm afraid to find out whether
he was worth forgiving or not.

Forgive me
for having these doubts.

Whether he really changed
or was worth forgiving...

...are not up to us to judge.

Leave it up to God
and pray for him more.

Then...

Must I have forgiven him?

Sang-woo...

The thing that scares me most
is facing my fear and doubt.

What should I do?

Detective PARK speaking.

Hello, sir.

We met a year ago
on HAN Sang-woo's case...

KIM Tae-ho.
Mr. HAN Sang-woo's assailant.

He's in juvenile protection now.

Pardon?

Youth Detention Center.

Why?
Didn't he go back to school?

He killed a fellow student
in school 3 months ago.

What? Why?

Said he got angry because the boy
bragged about his dad too much.

That doesn't make any sense.

There's no reason
for the urge to kill.

Before the motorcycle accident
back then...

He stabbed his mother once.

But she didn't report him
to protect her son.

He should've gone to prison,

but avoided it
thanks to his parents.

What?

Okay, I'll be right there.

Tae-ho...

Can I meet his parents?

Information on delinquents
is classified.

Especially juveniles.

What will you do by meeting them?

That you take back
writing the petition?

How about information
on the victim? Please?

Hello?

Seok? Is that you?

You're home.

What took you so long?

It's okay now.

I'm so sorry.

Seok?

Dad's okay.

So, don't worry and rest in peace.

I couldn't rest thinking
you're worried about me.

Yes...

To me...

You were a dear child.

So thankful...

TOP STUDENT AWARD

What are you thinking?

Geez!

Your startled me.

Really? Sorry.

Where are the others?

They went home
because it's raining.

Really?

They'll worry about us.
Let's go.

Nice umbrella.
Is it yours?

- No.
- Then who?

It belongs to someone I like.

Oh, I see.

Let's go.

Da-hae!
What are you doing?

What are you doing up
at this hour?

You should be the one sleeping.
You're a patient.

Give me that.
My house is a mess.

Why'd you buy so much?

So you can drink and cry

all you want and
not get dehydrated.

Move. I'm going to
clean out my fridge.

What's with you?
You should lie down and rest.

It's no use.

Nothing will change.

Stop and breathe!

It's like you're on a respirator!

The boy who killed Sang-woo...

The kid I forgave
killed another person.

That means, I killed him.

Da-hae...
People who are hurt are in pain

because they want to forgive.

If they don't,
there is no pain.

They want the pain giver
to pull forgiveness out.

That's weird.

Doesn't make sense?

- No, that it's coming from you.
- Hey.

I'm taking your umbrella.

Is it here?

Wait!

- Why?
- Take another one instead.

- Why? This one looks old.
- So take a newer one.

No!
What if I lose it?

My fiance's death could've saved
that fellow classmate...

But I ruined everything.

When you forgave him,

you left him in God's hands.

Everything there on is up to God.

Then what was God doing?

Making that kid die was
God's will?

If that kid was properly punished,
he wouldn't have murdered again!

My forgiveness killed someone else.

But God wants a merciful daughter
than a resolute one.

God pities that young sinner
the most.

Then what about my fiance
and the boy he killed?

Is it God's will to give
more pain to the innocent?

Would it be better if your fiance
and the kid's fates were changed?

Da-hae?

- Hi.
- Let's go out.

- Where?
- Go out and eat something good.

You need the energy.

I'm fine.
Take Ji-min instead.

I especially made time for you.

So jealous...

I wish I can change
my fate with theirs.

Da-hae...

The world is fine
even without Sang-woo.

Isn't it?

You'll feel better
with some fresh air.

Ji-seok.

It's not like you to be weak
like this. Get stronger.

Will I get stronger
with fresh air?

I'm just worried, that's all.

I thought I was going to die
when the car filled up with sea water.

No matter how hard I tried
to open the door, it wouldn't.

When water filled up to my head,
I gave up.

But that's when the door opened.

The water inside pushed
the door open.

I'm going to wait.

For what?

Till I feel like forgiving.
And become stronger.

Hey, the battery's dead!

Damn battery!

That's not our fault!

What are you doing on Christmas?

Wanna take our girlfriends
on a trip?

- Yeah!
- I don't have one.

Yeah, right!
Your gal bought you this!

Let's get off!

Give me that!

It's mine now!
See? It's from his gal!

- Let me try!
- No way!

Your cell phone!

You put ice in first?
Different from me...

Guess the ice won't crack
and get hurt this way.

My mom called today.

It's Dad's birthday this weekend.

You should go.

Of course I said I won't.

Though your dad was mean,

you're the way you are
thanks to him.

Thanks to him?

Don't say stuff like
I'm stronger thanks to him.

They're your parents.
They're family, you can't hate.

Family is the worst.

Abusing your own child's
the worst!

It's not abuse.

You can get a few spankings.

It probably hurt them more
to do that.

You say that because you never had
a shitty father like that!

Don't say that!
He's still your father.

I can't stand
hearing that the most!

Respect him no matter what
just because he's my dad?

You know how many times
I thought of killing him!

How can you say that?
You're horrible.

A kid who says this is worse than
a dad who beats her to death?

Stop it!

You don't know
how parents feel.

Oh, really?
And you do?

Just go home on his birthday.
That's what a daughter should do.

You know what?

You sound like the people
around you a year ago...

...insisting you
to forgive the kid.

Hey!

Why'd you call me out?

Just get in.

Hurry up.

Why?

- Let's go shopping.
- Do it yourself.

Aren't you sorry to Da-hae?

Buy her something.
I'll pay.

I can't stand living you!

I'm so fed up with you!

So am I!
You are lousy...

It's okay, Da-hae.
Everything's fine.

Be a good girl.
Don't cry.

It's okay.
Don't cry.

Hey, you hold this.

Why buy so much?
Having a party?

It's Dad's birthday tomorrow.

Why bring me into this?

You rude little.

Mom said to bring you home.

- I told her I'm not going.
- Shut up.

Think you can have your way?

All our relatives are coming.

So?

He can brag about the girl
he beat all her life?

You wouldn't have smartened up
without getting hit.

You should be thankful.

Like father like son.

Why you!

Shut up.

Our family would be quiet
without you.

Then keep living quietly.

Without me.

We're taking a family picture,
tomorrow!

Some family.
Yeah right!

Watch it!
Dad will kill ya!

I'll tell him exactly that!

Da-hae?
Where are you going?

Nowhere.

Were you waiting for me?

Well, I guess so.

Are you eating okay
these days?

You don't eat at home
so you won't have to see me.

You noticed, huh?
I'm so hungry.

Let's go.

It's strange. I feel better
when you're mad at me.

You're so unique.

It makes me nervous that
we're getting close like family.

Want me to keep being mad?

Come on.

I'm sometimes jealous of you.
You're like a post-it.

- A post-it?
- Yes.

You can stick it on and off,
it's still the same.

Then what are you?

A band-aid?

It gets dirty
and you can't use it again.

Remember when we first met?

Huh?

Probably not.
That was 7 years ago.

I remember.

You came over
with Sang-woo.

You remember, too?

You were a clever little girl.
So bright, too.

I was so jealous of you back then.

My parents might've been happier
if I was like you.

Maybe they wouldn't have
gotten divorced.

I thought a daughter like you
was a great blessing.

You were totally off.

My life was really depressing
back then, too.

You only saw the outside, huh?

It was like we're on thin ice
at home.

My parents didn't get along.

They said they were living
because of me.

I got mad,
but stuck it out.

I thought if I got mad,
everything will crumble.

I actually felt better
after they got divorced.

I feel sorry to them and
disappointed at the same time.

Maybe that's why I'm more
sympathetic to parents.

I couldn't turn down the parents
begging to forgive their son.

Feeling sorry for them,
I couldn't see the pain I was feeling.

We have something in common.

We turned out bad
because of our parents!

Na, na, na, na, boo, boo!

Long time no see!
I missed you so much!

Eat lots.

Yes! Can I eat this first?

Slow down, you'll choke.

I'm going to eat lots!

Don't spill. I'll do it.
Check the message.

Thanks.

What is it?

'I got your gift. Since you're sorry,
Daddy will forgive you.'

'Be a good girl from now on.'

You gave him a gift?
That's great.

What's wrong?

Why aren't you coming?
All the relatives are here.

Who did it!
Was it you, Mom?

What are you talking about?

Why would I get Dad a gift?
You think I'm crazy!

I don't know.

Ji-seok brought it.
I thought it was from you.

Then, put him on!

What's with you?
Why's that important? Hurry home.

Everyone's here to congratulate
your school acceptance.

Your father's
in a good mood.

How can you do that, Mom!

You're here!

You're all dead!

Open up!

That brat! Stop it!

- I'll get you all!
- Stop!

- Don't! Come here!
- Let go!

What's so wrong with that?

It's to make him happy
on his birthday. What's so wrong?

Why do you only think of yourself?
Who cares who got the gift!

You don't care
how messed up I get.

You don't care about me!

You're not messed up.

Why turn me into the bad one
asking for forgiveness?

It's better this way.

And your father will be happy.

What about how I feel!

It's because of you,
Dad never changes!

Why should he?
You should!

You're always the one
causing trouble!

Shit! I'm going to end things
once and for all!

I'll tell everyone everything!

Let go!

Go. Get out!

I almost died yesterday
because of your crap!

Go die, for all I care!

Stressed about
going to study abroad?

You've gotten a lot worse
than before.

Why?

The more you push off
the transplant, the better.

So take good care of your kidney.

What if
I don't get a transplant?

A dialysis is worse.

Do I have to get a transplant?

Not if you want to die.
Your call.

Your father's the only one
with the same blood type.

But he's old.

Does he have high blood pressure
or heart problems?

Test for a donor match
before you go.

It'll be too late
to do it later.

Get all your family to test
just in case.

Want me to tell them?

No, I'll do it.

Your father has to come.

How do you feel?
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?

I didn't call home.
I thought I'd ask you first.

Don't.

Okay...

Let's eat.
You didn't even have lunch.

Later.
Help me up?

If I can be born again,
I want to be your daughter.

Whoa. I decline.

Ji-min, did your condition
get worse?

Are you taking your medication?

I'll get beaten to death
before I die of kidney failure.

Even if I do die,
I want to without them knowing.

I don't want to stay
their family even in death.

Looks like you've gained
your strength.

Actually, I'm always worried.

That I don't know I'm being bad
and hate my parents for no reason.

Still, when they hit me
my blood curls.

I know.

Don't think about anything
and just rest.

- Da-hae?
- Yes?

- I'm sorry.
- About what?

About what happened
to Sang-woo because of me.

Why's it because of you?

If I didn't go out that night...

I went to get Ji-seok
without knowing Sang-woo's coming.

If I didn't go...

Sang-woo would've met him
and not get in that accident.

I'm so sorry, Da-hae.

It's been hurting you that much?

But it's not your fault.
Not at all.

Ji-min?

Why are you up so early?

I'm all better thanks to you.

The sky, the sun, and the clouds...

The most precious things
in the world are free.

Can you take my bike
out for walks, too?

You already do that.

When I ride it, my heart
and the wind become one.

When I'm angry,
the wind is rough.

When I smile,
the wind chimes.

You sound like a poet.

Hey, it's true.

Bong-soon~!

Pets resemble
their owner's personality.

I guess.

People are different
according to who raises them.

I'm never going to hit my kids.

I hate that my dad's blood
will flow in my kids' too.

I want to squeeze out all my blood
and put in a new one.

Maybe that's why
my kidney's broken.

Don't let your father
be the center of your life.

What?

It's because you hate him
so much.

Don't hate him.
Just don't think about it.

It's possible
if he's not family.

That kid... He stabbed his mother
before the accident.

But his parents didn't report him
and let it pass.

When did you find out?

Recently.

If I knew earlier,
would I have written the petition?

When he tried to kill his mother?

It's not your fault he killed someone
after killing Sang-woo.

It's probably because of his parents.

What?
That's crazy.

He tried to kill his mother.

He killed others because he hated
his parents that much.

Then why didn't he kill his...

It's not because of his parents.

It's harder to kill your parents
than someone else

Look at me.

I want to, too.
But I couldn't yet.

Ji-min!

Still, you'd never kill anyone!

You don't kill
because you hate your parents!

Instead...

I'm killing myself.

What's this?

You rude bitch!
No respect for your parents!

A paternity test?

What's with you?
You did this while you're out?

Don't you get why I did it?

How dare you talk like that!

For the last time, tell me!

Why do you only beat me!

You bitch!

It's because you do things
to deserve it.

Why can't you listen
like your brother?

Dad hits me
when he's in a bad mood.

He always takes things
out on me!

Why you little bitch!

What's your problem, Dad?

Tell me. Then maybe
I can understand you.

What! How dare she try to
blame things on me!

It's time she gets a beating.

What's with you today!

I wish there was a reason.
So I can hate you less!

Beg for forgiveness!
Hurry!

You know why I did
the paternity test?

Because I wanted to forgive you two!

You little bitch!

If you hit me because I'm not your kid,
I thought I could forgive!

But you're my real parents!
Do you know how I feel?

Fine! You're not my daughter
from now on as you wish!

Know why my kidney's bad?
It's because of you two!

You bitch!

It's because of your damn anger!
Don't blame it on us!

I only want one thing!
An apology from you two.

If you do, I'll forgive you
for everything! An apology!

What? How dare you!
You think we're a joke?

I forgave
my daughter's murderer.

But I want him to get
the death sentence.

That's odd.

I didn't think
you'd want to interview me.

Ah...
I wanted to hear both sides.

I see.

Sister Sophia...

Though you forgave
you want him to be punished?

He should pay for his crime.

That's not forgiveness, is it?

Then, what is forgiveness?

Wanting my daughter's killer
to be happier than me?

People pressured me to forgive.

Like I'm the bad one
for not forgiving.

People aren't interested in
the victim's family.

They probably said bad things because
I didn't hug Sister Maria then.

It's not because I hated her.

I just thought of the victim's family
that her son hurt.

I don't have the right
to forgive him.

That's someone else's right.

How would I feel if someone else
hugs and forgives my girl's killer?

Do you hear news on him?

I wondered
if he regrets it or not.

Sister Mary said
he accepted Christ.

He must've repented.

That's what I thought.

So, I thought
he'd pray for my girl.

But he asked for
a reduced sentence.

If he was really sorry,
he couldn't do that.

I should be the one to ask
for a reduced sentence, not him.

He only thought of himself
for 10 years.

Forgetting everything.

But they say those on death row
die every morning.

Desperately hoping
to live another day.

My daughter probably
felt that before she died.

That he'd change his mind...

And desperately hoping
someone would come and save her.

She was our only child.

My husband and I got divorced.

We tortured each other
in our anger towards him.

Is the man who killed my daughter
more miserable than us?

Beautiful, isn't it?

Pardon?

If my daughter was here,
she'd smile.

There are many beautiful things
in this world.

If we didn't know that
because of our anger...

We'd be sorry to those
who desperately wanted to live.

Forgiveness is not
getting rid of hatred.

That's impossible.

It's pushing hatred far back
in the corner of your heart.

Don't rush it.

It takes a lot of time.

Only you know how long it'll take.

What the hell is she thinking?

Always so selfish.

What will change
if Ji-min comes back?

What?

You knew how hard
it was for Ji-min, didn't you?

Then why didn't you protect her?

From what?

She does things to deserve it.

To be beaten?
What did she do so wrong?

You don't know
because you're not family.

She's always been trouble.

And you've always been
a coward.

What?

If you didn't call him out
that night...

...my fiance wouldn't have died.

Why bring that up?

Why'd you hide that
you called Ji-min to get you, too?

I didn't hide it.
I just didn't say it.

Because it would just hurt you.

Don't you feel sorry
to Sang-woo?

I didn't think that would happen.

If I did,
would I have called him?

It hurt me, too!

How much?

As much as Sang-woo?
Or me?

Ji-min even felt
more sorry than you.

It's me.

I'm okay.
I'm on the bus.

Really? Ji-min came?
That's good.

I have my umbrella.
Take your time and drive carefully.

Thanks.
I love you, too.

Let us remember
those we've hurt and

ask and receive
God's forgiveness.

Let us pray.

Father?

Yes, Sister Clara?

That's it?

Shouldn't we go and apologize?

We're easily forgiven
if we just pray?

Then why don't you forgive others
as you've been easily forgiven?

PRIEST'S OFFICE

Jesus asked God
to forgive His enemies

before He died on the cross.

He asked even in
that desperate moment...

Because without the victim's
forgiveness, God can't forgive?

Sister, let's go inside.

Shouldn't sinners
realize their sins?

Then why should I forgive a killer
who doesn't know his sin?

Sister Clara!

- Did you come for a visit?
- Yes.

You came early.
May I have your ID?

Of course.

- Is this your first time here?
- Yes.

What's your relation to him?

Strangers are not allowed here.

I heard it's possible
to visit...

Only family, teachers,
and clergy allowed.

- Pardon?
- Go back, ma'am.

Wait!
I have to meet him.

That's the rule, ma'am.

I... I'm family of the victim.

The victim's side is restricted
from meeting the offenders here.

I even wrote a petition for him.

Why can't I meet him?

The juvenile offender's rights
come first by law.

It'll be hard on the young boy
to meet the victim's family.

Please cooperate
for Tae-ho's rehabilitation.

When is he getting out?

That's private information.

But he may get out early
according to his or his family's will.

Can you tell him to call me
when he gets out?

I want to forgive him right.

And not hate him for life.

Please don't interrupt
Tae-ho's rehabilitation.

Please help him forget the past
and start fresh.

Happy birthday.

Open it when you can
understand me.

I'll call you dear,
only till today.

I'm sorry
for all the things I said.

Since I couldn't get angry
at the boy who killed Sang-woo...

I took it out on you.

I knew you're in pain,
but pretended I didn't know.

I'm sorry.

We have a 10 year history together.

No matter what, right?

So let's stay good friends.

Happy birthday.

Ji-min?
Is that you?

I was so worried about you.

Are you okay?

Hey, I can't breathe.

I'm sorry Ji-min.
And thank you.

For what?

Everything.

- Da-hae?
- What?

- Da-hae...
- Why?

I'm so happy to see you.

Are you feeling okay?

I was so stupid.

Silly, you realized that now?

I'm so glad
you're here for me.

Don't waste time
sitting blankly at the bus stop.

And stop hiding in the house
when it rains.

But I still feel
so sorry to Sang-woo.

And I regret it so much.

If I knew that was the end,
I would've told him I loved him.

But I couldn't do anything.

If I took his last call,
maybe Sang-woo wouldn't be...

How do you think Sang-woo would feel,
knowing you're like this?

Is that all you're going to talk
about when you meet him?

You're right.

You've grown so much,
Ji-min.

Da-hae...
I lied to you.

I said I came to expose
your forgiveness wasn't real.

That's a lie.

I wanted to learn
to forgive from you.

Because I wanted to forgive Dad.

So I hoped that boy changed.

Hoping Dad will change
if I just forgave him.

I need Dad's kidney for a transplant.

But I can't take it hating him.

Ji-min...

If I took out the hatred for my
parents on others like the boy...

I wouldn't have gotten sick.

Then others would've
gotten hurt, right?

You think I did the right thing?

Hurting myself
was probably better, right?

Ji-min...

I'm sleepy.

Okay. Rest.

Everything's so trivial from afar...

From space, all the quarrels
on Earth will seem cute, right?

I want to pet Earth...

Don't worry, Da-hae.

I'm not going to be
in pain anymore.

Because I gave up on my parents.

Let's be real sisters next time.

Thank you.

Ji-min...

JI-MIN'S BIRTHDAY

You've made it through
the past year well. I'm so proud.

But I feel like I ran
with my eyes closed.

Take heart.

This film will give great courage

to so many people.

To who?
The offenders?

I had the freedom not to forgive,
but no one taught me that.

My hasty forgiveness was fake.

It's like putting a band-aid
on a cancerous spot.

I can't forgive myself for that.

When this is complete, you'll realize
why God gave you the pain.

I'm going to make a film for those

who need forgiveness to watch.

Then my pain will have meaning.

I want to meet the boy.

Can he realize how terrible it was
without seeing my pain?

How he took away
someone's life...

Does he know how many people
he hurt for life?

Is it okay as long as he starts fresh
not knowing what he did?

KIM Tae-ho...

Try to love yourself now.

Love yourself instead of the love
you wanted from your parents.

Then...

You'll know how precious
my fiance and the friend were...

How big of a loss their lives were...

I knew it.
I chose a good one, right?

So? Was it romantic?

What are you thinking?

You asked that the first day
we started dating. Right here.

I practiced that so much.
I was so nervous.

Really?

I knew right then
we'd be married.

Really.
It happened, didn't it?

And?

That I'll always be with you.
Like today.

Today's the next day the person
who died yesterday desperately wanted.

Let's live each day
to the fullest.

Like today.

I'M OKAY
DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME

I LOVE YOU, TOO.
