HOPE

HOPE'S VARIETY

When's the meeting?

What?

You're ready already?

Okay, okay.

Hold on.

Man...

You never came to the PTA meetings last year.

If you're late, you'll get on their bad side.

I'm almost ready.

I didn't even do the breakfast dishes.

Do that later and come out now!

Okay, okay.

I'm ready!

I'm leaving!

I'm on my way.

Where do I go?

Dog meat?

I can't eat that.

SAFETY FIRST

Ding, dong, dang, dong!

It's time for our lunch break!

Today's menu is chicken soup!

I, the factory manager, will eat last as always.

Please only take one piece

for those behind you.

Hey! you!

Don't eat two pieces like last time!

Or I'll kill ya!

Dong-hoon?

Let's eat together.

Okay!

Cheers everyone!

Summer break is coming up.

What should we get the teacher?

How about a dress?

- Good idea. - Great.

What do you think, Mi-hee?

Huh?

How about a flowerpot...

Forget it!

These days, we give gift cards.

How much should we give?

You decide, Vice-President.

- Of course. - Yeah.

Let's go.

Then, I'll text you on how much we'll pitch in.

- It was good. - Yeah.

- I'm full. - Did we collect fees today?

How much do we pay?

- We ate a lot. - Yeah.

Hope's Mom? You'll pay?

- Me? - Why not.

How about you and I split the bill this time?

I didn't even eat!

She's too busy at the store and never came out much.

She always said she should treat you ladies.

Should we give Hope's Mom a chance then?

Why not?

- Thanks, Mrs. IM. - Thanks.

How much you got?

I have $20.

Take credit cards?

$198? That's insane!

Damn women ate a whole dog!

It's to get on their good side.

Or else your kid will get left out.

WATERMELON $20

WATERMELON $20 Why's it so dang expensive?

Why's it so dang expensive?

Tell your husband to give Hope's Dad a raise.

He's only the manager, not the boss.

By the way, aren't you going to tell him?

How can he not tell?

Looks like it's a boy.

He has no interest in me.

Then, how'd you end up getting pregnant?

Honestly, we did it once in 3 years and it happened.

3 years?

My husband is always all over me.

He can't get enough of me.

How can I raise two when one is so hard?

Why you!

Have the baby. It'll grow on its own.

Really none left?

Nope.

No sense of loyalty!

IM Dong-hoon? Is it good?

Yup!

I only ate one, honest.

The bones can't be from one!

Like it?

It's good.

Don't you get food at home?

Yeah, I do. Just rice, though.

I'm so skinny, but my wife's getting fat.

Good for you, pal.

I can't eat at home or here.

I only get rice at home and here, too.

And my three sons say I stink

and won't ever come to me.

Want it?

- Forget it, man! - Fine.

Give it to me. You got three of the same.

But this is a rare card.

Yours isn't.

Want it?

Let's trade with this.

This one for five of those.

Young-seok! You cheapskate!

- No deal! Cheapskate! - Let's go.

What?

What?

Wait for me!

Dang!

I died again! This sucks!

Hey!

HAN Young-seok!

What?

That's not yours! Don't hit it!

I paid to play on this! What's it to you!

Why you little!

Little?

Fine. Your face is way bigger. So there!

Wanna die!

Mommy! I'm home!

Hi, Hope.

Young-seok is the problem.

What are you grumbling?

Try this.

I don't get this at all.

Get what?

It's a math question.

I can solve most questions.

But I have no clue with this.

How can a Grade 2 math question be so hard?

Read it again.

Should I ask Daddy?

Daddy?

He probably won't know more than me.

Come eat!

"Young-su has 9 pencils

and Jin-hee has 3."

"How can they have the same number of pencils?"

"Write your answer."

So? What did you write?

Nothing.

Why?

Just add 9 and 3 together,

then divide by 2.

It's not that easy!

Think Young-su is Young-seok.

And Jin-hee is me.

Young-seok?

There's no way Young-seok would give the pencils.

For us to have the same,

he'd have to give me 3 pencils.

There's no way

he'd ever give me anything!

That's not the answer!

Dong-hoon, say something.

Listen to your mom.

Don't start fighting with her.

Spicy noodles give me ulcers.

- Don't eat it, then! - I didn't say I won't.

Forget it. Go watch baseball!

I'll raise Hope by myself.

Really?

Listen good to your mom.

Stupid!

Let's get you to bed.

Kokomong, the sausage

Silly, playful Kokomong

A whiz inventor, Kokomong

Leader of the kids, Kokomong!

Young-seok? You waiting for Hope?

No way. I'm not waiting for her.

Then, what are you doing here?

I'm waiting for the boys.

- Let's go! - Okay! Let's go!

But Hope will be out soon.

Daddy? Know how to tie hair?

Of course I do.

Come here.

Sit down.

GWANG-SIK

I'm on my way out.

Your second son's sick?

The flu? Oh no.

I can get there in 20 minutes.

Sign for the goods, then open the factory?

Okay. Bye.

Ouch! Forget it!

Why?

I'll tie it up pretty.

Forget it!

I always just pin my hair!

Mommy's always busy!

You look prettier with your hair pinned.

Hope went to school, right?

She's still home.

- Oh no! She's late! - Got it.

The other kids already went!

I gotta go check on stuff coming in.

Where's the umbrella?

Look under the counter.

- Okay. - Hope!

You'll be late!

What the?

WILL BE RIGHT BACK

I'm all wet! Run!

Hey! This way!

I'm cold.

Hope!

Yeah?

Don't pout.

I'll tie your hair pretty tomorrow.

You always say that!

All grown up?

Talking back to your mom?

Want Mommy to walk you to school?

Forget it! I can run there in 3 minutes.

Don't go down muddy allies and take the big road.

I was going to anyway.

Take the big road!

VIENNA PIANO

If we're late, we're dead! Run!

It's pouring! I'm so cold!

Wait for me! Slow down!

Hey! Hurry up!

Wait up!

Going to school?

That's a pretty umbrella.

Mind sharing it with me?

But...

I'm late for school...

They're coming in now. I'll count everything.

Don't worry. Be careful!

Why's the gas bill so high?

- Yeah? - Where are you?

At home.

Oh my, my, my!

What? Something happened?

There are cops everywhere outside the school.

The school?

I came by to give Young-seok his umbrella.

But you know the construction site near here?

One girl was found half dead here.

Hello? You hear me?

Hello?

This is Inspector SEO.

Are you IM Hope's father?

Yes, I am.

Hope's really hurt. We're taking her to Changwon Hospital.

The hospital?

My daughter should be in school.

She's going in and out of consciousness.

Please come as fast as you can.

Hello? Hello?

EMERGENCY

How was she when you first found her?

She had severe facial injuries and was bleeding all over.

And barely conscious.

Then, who made the report?

- We got a call from 911. - Really?

She called us directly.

Are you Hope's mother?

Please calm down, ma'am.

The CT scan shows many cuts and

lacerations from the rectum to colon.

She needs surgery...

We may have to remove parts of

the large and small intestines.

IN SURGERY

What happens now?

The forensics results will come soon.

We'll find the culprit.

Don't worry, sir.

Constable LEE?

Stay here and keep reporting on her status.

It happened by the school?

How'd you know?

Which road was she on?

Was it the big road?

What do you mean?

I told her to go that way...

I sent her out alone in the rain.

Cut it out!

Did Young-seok's mom know it was Hope?

She called me! Said a girl was dying by the school.

- Stop it! - I can't!

If she tells one person it was our Hope...

I'll rip her mouth off!

Please!

My little girl...

IM Hope's guardian, please?

Did the surgery go well?

Someone had better come in now.

Just one, please.

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Listen carefully.

We have to remove the large intestine and anus.

If we don't do it now,

she could die.

Sir?

She'll live if we make an artificial anus.

An artificial anus?

Colostomy to put the small intestine outside.

She'll have to live like that for life.

Please save her...

What happened?

Is she alive?

Daddy? You came?

Yes...

Where's Mommy?

We're taking turns. She's right outside.

We'll always be here, don't worry.

Okay...

Doctor says you're all right, Hope.

Yeah.

What about work?

Work?

I'm all done.

I thought Mommy and you would be busy...

But the bad man should be caught...

And I was really hurt...

So, I just called 911...

Good.

When did you get so smart?

He was wearing beige pants.

And a vest with many pockets...

Who?

The bad man.

He should be caught...

Let's talk about that later. Okay?

It was by the school.

I'm so sleepy. What if I forget?

It's okay.

The police say they almost caught him

- Really? - Yes!

When you get a good rest...

Daddy and the cops will have caught him.

So go to sleep, Sweetie.

Okay, Daddy.

My throat feels dry.

And I feel like I'll go poo.

Yes, sir.

Yes, Chief.

Results came for the fingerprints found at the scene.

Did they find him? Arrest him?

We found a match out of ex-cons

and located his whereabouts.

Why aren't you arresting him!

Constable LEE!

Why'd you bring him here?

Have a seat, sir.

Who's the bastard?

Where does he live?

I'm not allowed to give you any details.

You got his prints!

You know who he is!

But we can't arrest him with just his fingerprints.

He's here? Who is it?

There's not enough evidence.

I can't arrest him without a warrant.

Why can't you get a warrant!

Sir?

The fingerprints could be from anyone passing through.

We need more definite evidence for a warrant.

What more evidence do you need!

Like surveillance cam footages or DNA.

There were no cams at the scene and no DNA yet.

If the victim testifies

and identifies him...

we won't need a warrant.

Testify?

Then, can you arrest him now?

She can't get investigated like that.

It's just testifying.

Whatever! She's your child!

You want her to recall that horrific day?

You call yourself a father?

Don't you have any feelings?

Feelings?

Fine. Let's say I don't.

Ma'am?

Sunflower Center helps sexually abused children.

They help children deal with the trauma.

Why did this happen to our little girl?

If only cops watched the bastards better...

why would this happen!

Sit down.

We have to get that bastard!

Please calm down.

How can we!

Please go home and bring

her toys and journals.

What?

That's what the therapist asked for.

I'll try to convince your wife.

KOKOMONG

Must you do this now?

We have to catch the culprit.

It's only been three days.

She's psychologically unstable.

Are you sure?

It'll be the same no matter when.

It's not easy for her.

I won't do it without the parents' consent.

Hope...

asked to catch the culprit.

Are you sure about this?

Yes...

Sweetie?

Can you talk?

You don't want to?

Then, you can just nod.

Can you see me?

Kokomong, the sausage

Silly, playful Kokomong

I'm pretty, aren't I?

As you see...

IM Hope can state opinions

and is clearly conscious.

Sweetie?

It rained a lot that day, right?

You met a bad man on the way

to school and had a close call?

About the bad man...

Think you can tell me?

Hope?

Is this the man?

What makes you think this is him?

The face...

Eyes...

Mouth...

Really?

Just in case...

Can you choose from other pictures, too?

Hope?

Can you point him out again?

Hope? Can we give it another try?

Good girl.

As time goes, she could behave differently.

She could suddenly start screaming...

Or not talk at all.

What do you mean?

She needs both physical and emotional healing.

It may be hard with just the family's help.

The whole family may all need treatment, too.

SUNFLOWER CENTER

SUNFLOWER CENTER Call me.

What are you doing?

Don't scare us with things

that didn't even happen!

What's with you?

If you're done, I suggest you leave.

Who is it?

I came to get the dishes.

I left them outside.

I don't see them. Where?

Of course they're there!

- Freeze! - The hell!

Must we do this?

Not the 6 patients' room.

We don't have a choice.

Yes, Constable LEE.

Yes.

Thank you.

I'd better go to the police.

Did they catch him?

I'll be back.

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Chief!

Sir! You can't come here!

Let me in!

Chief!

Why'd he come here?

Let me in!

- You can't, sir! - Let me in!

Wait!

- Let me see his face! - Sir!

Are you the victim's father?

Sir! An interview, please!

Sir!

Police arrested a man for abducting

and raping a 8 year-old girl.

The girl was found with wounds

and intestinal ruptures.

She survived a major surgery and is hospitalized.

Oh no...

This can't get out

all over the news!

Poor Hope!

Quiet! The kids will hear!

Young-seok, go in!

CHOI abducted a girl

on the morning of the 19th...

dragged her to a construction site and raped her.

The victim's identification

of the culprit led to the arrest.

Hello?

I heard he got caught. Where are you?

The hospital is on TV and everything!

Is Hope okay?

CHOI abducted a girl

close from the school...

took her to a nearby place and assaulted her.

CHOI lives less than 1 km away

CHOI lives less than 1 km away

from the victim's house.

He was recently released from prison on the same charges.

He was recently released from prison on the same charges.

Hear about the child rape case?

The girl was just 8 years-old.

I heard she's in this hospital.

Are you out of your mind!

You got her to testify for this?

We're moving her!

Wait! Not that way.

Hope? You okay?

Sir!

Many folks are here to help you, Hope.

- Are you the father? - How did she testify?

No! Stop!

We're here, Hope.

Daddy?

Did I do something wrong?

Of course not.

- Is Hope okay? - Come here!

Hope, it's okay. It's all right.

Help! Please! Help!

Hope, it's okay.

It's okay.

Daddy will get this.

Please! Hurry! Help Hope...

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Call emergency!

Stop! Go away!

Hope! Hope!

Don't move!

- I'll clean it! - Stop!

- Stay still! - Stop it! Go away!

No...

No...

Hope... No...

No...

Your wife fainted!

Her breathing is unstable!

The respirator!

- She's bleeding. - Saline!

Her heartbeat is too high!

I was going to tell you.

After what happened to Hope, I lost track.

Are you mad?

Why?

How can you not tell me for 5 months?

By chance...

were you not going to give birth?

They said the baby's fine.

Don't cry.

CHANG-WON HOSPITAL

I know it must be hard for you, Sweetie.

But Mommy's sick.

She can't come by often.

You said you wanted a sibling, right?

There's a little brother or sister in Mommy's tummy.

Know what that means?

Aren't you hot?

You don't like Daddy?

Don't know?

Hope? Are you embarrassed?

It's Daddy. Don't be.

I'll be outside...

So you can cool off.

Don't cover your face.

The therapist asked me to give this to you.

The woman from Sunflower Center.

What are you doing?

Well, I'm...

It's nothing.

It comes to $2,870.

THE TRIAL IS SET FOR 11:00 AM NEXT TUESDAY

Dong-hoon? Hold on. It's too noisy here.

Why didn't you call me earlier?

Hello?

Still there?

About my severance...

What are you talking about?

You're on vacation. What severance?

I've been here for 2 weeks...

Don't know when it'll end.

There's the trial, too.

Be honest.

If it's cuz of money...

I got some cash set aside my wife doesn't know about.

You can use it.

You helped out a lot last year

when my mother-in-law died.

Fool! Don't say that!

Do I have to beg to lend you my money?

If you need to borrow, just ask!

Need money or not, pal?

I need it.

Fine, then.

I'll lend it to you.

I gotta go back to work.

I'm going, too.

I'm fine.

You're not fine.

You had a close call.

A close call?

But I have to see that bastard's face!

Think I can just rest here?

Then, I'm not going.

Are you threatening me?

You should talk.

Threatening me with the unborn baby?

What?

My kid's hurt.

And my pregnant wife thinks she can run around.

I could just die!

You came?

Didn't eat anything, did you?

You said...

when I called that morning...

that I knew everything and called on purpose?

That if I told even one person...

you'd rip my mouth off?

I guess word travels fast.

I didn't say I'd rip it off.

I said I could rip it off.

Trying to act strong...

you couldn't even cry, could you?

You act way tougher.

You...

Think it's my first time coming here today?

I came more than 10 times.

I just watched from afar and left.

Why!

You should've come to see me.

I was dying to see you.

You said you'd rip my mouth!

I didn't say that!

Try some food.

Stop crying, girl!

Is this laundry?

Stop crying and eat!

DEFENDANT

Around 8:30 AM on July 19th, the defendant...

dragged the 8 year-old victim

to a nearby construction site...

assaulted her face and abdomen...

choked her...

then sexually assaulted

her genital parts. Correct?

I don't remember at all.

I worked all night and came home at dawn.

I drank alcohol and slept.

Then, can you explain

the bloodstain on your clothes?

Bloodstain?

There was blood?

I submit forensic results stating

the blood belonged to the victim.

And video of the victim's identification of the culprit.

VICTIM'S TESTIMONY

DNA ANALYSIS

The shoes and vest the prosecution claims...

are they yours?

Yes, but I lost them a few days ago.

Where did you lose them?

About 3 days ago...

I left them at the construction site, but they disappeared.

When did you find them?

They were outside my house on the day of the arrest.

Objection!

The defendant just claims to have lost and found them.

There is no evidence to support that.

Is there evidence to prove it?

We're searching, Your Honor.

We'll ask the construction workers

and find proof.

Then, present it when you find it.

The next hearing will be at 3:00 PM on September 25th.

Court is adjourned.

You bastard!

You call yourself human!

After what you did to her! You bastard!

You don't remember?

You son of a bitch!

Memorized your moves?

Yes, I did!

Me, too!

But I can't.

Don't worry.

If you miss anything, I'll jump right in.

Ready?

It's okay if you make mistakes. Just make big moves.

One at a time.

Hello, everyone!

I'm Kokomong!

Let's invent something great today, too!

Hello? I'm pretty Aromi!

Why am I so beautiful?

Tada!

I'm Kero!

Want to see the new dance I made?

All our friends are here. What will happen today?

Let's go to Refrigerator Land!

Let's roll together!

Let's gather together! Kokomong is calling!

It's time for fun!

- It'll be fun! - It'll be fun!

Let's roll together! Hurray!

Let's gather together! Hurray! Hurrah!

Hold Kokomong's hand and run like the wind!

Kokomong! Kokomong!

I love Kokomong!

Today and tomorrow

Let's play together every day!

Let's roll together! Hurray!

Let's gather together! Hurray! Hurrah!

Hold Kokomong's hand and run like the wind!

Hey!

How did the trial go?

There's no result on the first day.

- When's the next trial? - A month later.

What are you doing with this on?

Can't you tell?

Thought you hated that therapist.

Who cares? When she'll help my child...

Young-seok's Mom!

- You came? - Yes.

When you're done drinking, go trade with the egg.

Okay.

Water, please.

- You came? - Yes.

You, too?

Ah, yes...

I spent the whole day with the sisters.

Sisters?

Yes! Sisters!

Women fight easily and get close easily.

I see...

My role is kind of important. I'd better go back in.

- Of course. - Bye.

Aromi!

Kokomong!

Eat lots.

Drawing pictures and compliments

won't open up her heart.

Kids relieve stress my laughing

and playing till they sweat.

It's $19 an hour per costume for 2 hours.

You borrowed 4 costumes.

So, it comes to $152.

One helper costs $10 per hour.

So for two hours that's $80.

But since the ladies helped. It comes to $172.

Just give us $150.

Why does it cost so much?

It's all for a good cause.

- It's $150. - Right...

Do you take Visa?

- Visa? - Yes.

Sure.

Here you are.

How much is it to borrow this for the day?

It's $70 for the day.

For a week it's $350.

- Well... - Yes?

Can you give a discount?

Or accept installments?

- Installments? - Yes.

Hold on!

This is kind of old.

We don't use it much.

So?

Just use it and give it back later.

- Really? - Yes, sir.

Cheer up, sir.

- Thank you! - Sure!

Thank you!

My daughter...

experienced the same thing as Hope.

When she was sixteen, she committed suicide.

That same year...

I drove my car into the river to die.

As you can see...

I just lost my legs.

And I'm still alive like this.

The man who did that to my daughter...

is still alive and roaming free.

Can you sleep well?

You don't look good.

I can't sleep much.

5 months?

6 months?

It's due in November.

MY FRIENDS WENT HOME

REFRIGERATOR LAND?

YOU GO HOME, TOO

YOUR FRIENDS ARE WAITING

Now that Hope is eating...

YOUR FRIENDS ARE WAITING

Now.

I'm going to ask some questions.

And you answer, okay Hope?

Good!

Let's put one on since you answered.

Want me to put one first?

You're not talking much these days?

Hope?

Can you talk today?

Would you like to put one on?

This is the night sky.

When the night sky gets filled with butterflies...

Hope will be able to speak again.

And sleep well again.

And also be able to solve hard math problems.

Isn't that amazing?

Hope?

Then, can you write?

YES

Hope? What's today's date?

AUGUST 24TH

That's right!

So, you must be on summer break.

How many days till school starts?

3 days?

What do you want to do most when school starts?

Can I go to school?

Of course!

THAT'S A LIE

Why do you think it's a lie?

Why do you think you can't go?

I'm embarrassed.

What are you embarrassed of?

WHAT HAPPENED

That day?

I'm not going to tell my friends.

You think they know or don't know?

I think they know.

Give me one.

I can have it all?

No changing minds!

Let's go.

See ya.

Where will you say you went when you were away?

I thought...

I'll say I went to my cousin's with my parents.

Or went on a trip.

If I don't explain well, bad rumors could start.

CLASSROOM RULES

What didn't you like most about being sick?

Missing school...

And my parent being unable to go to work.

Spending lots of money...

HOW TO TALK WITH YOUR DAUGHTER

The man asked me to share my umbrella.

I thought of just leaving.

But he was all wet in the rain and I should share.

So, I did.

People say it's my fault and don't say I did right.

Oh my!

Good job!

I'm beat!

Give it to me.

What do you want to do most when you leave the hospital?

Go to school and meet my friends.

And see the baby being born.

But I won't be able to go to school...

and I'm worried my homework isn't done.

When the baby's born, I want to hold it...

But with this on...

I'm worried I'll get dirty stuff all over the baby.

And what if my parents

only love the pretty baby?

I'M SLEEPING. COME AGAIN

It's Kokomong!

Ever have a thought like this?

Hoping things will be like before when you wake up...

Yesterday, I thought that.

I felt like things will go back to normal, when I wake up.

So, I took all my pills.

And prayed before going to bed.

But when I woke up, nothing changed.

How do you feel then, Hope?

Granny used to say when she's frustrated...

"I'm gonna die!"

But now I think I know what she meant.

"I'm gonna die"... What do you think it means?

Why was I born?

Look, Hope! Isn't it pretty?

Blow it out!

- Congratulations, Hope! - Thank you!

We haven't been home so long, I'm nervous.

Are you?

Can't we stay here?

Why?

Worried about going home?

Ready?

Finished paying?

Gwang-sik lent me his car. Let's go.

Hope?

Wanna go down with Daddy?

I'll go first.

What's wrong?

Are you carsick?

- We're almost home. - Okay.

It's okay, Hope.

We're here.

Take her in! Hurry!

Hope, let's go in.

That's good.

It's okay, Hope.

It's all right, Hope.

Hurry in!

Let's go. We're home.

It's okay. We're home.

Young-seok? Came to see Hope?

Did Hope come home?

Sure.

Wanna see her?

No, I was just passing by and wondered...

I heard you won't play with her

cuz she said your face is too big.

Aw, man!

Who says rumors like that?

Hope's Mom told me.

I'm going crazy...

Why?

What's the matter?

I came to walk to school with her that day.

If we went together...

nothing would've happened.

What's with you, boy.

It's okay. Don't cry.

It's all right.

Want some candy?

Let's go inside!

Greet teachers respectfully.

Don't run in the hallways.

Book report due tomorrow.

Bring consent forms for extra-curricular activities.

I can take her there.

The baby's about to pop out. I'll take her.

Let's put this on.

Good.

It's not that far.

Mom, I wanna go with Hope.

Hear that?

Heard that?

Okay, then.

We're all dressed and ready.

That's a good girl.

We're all set!

Mommy? The crackling sound is too loud.

Are you worried about that?

If the colostomy bag ever falls off or leaks...

please call me.

Of course.

And can she avoid

direct contact with male teachers?

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

The teachers will take caution.

Don't worry.

Do you think the children will make fun?

With you doing all this, they'll all be good, too.

I'll come dressed

more suitably next time.

So sorry.

Take care.

I'll be going.

WHAT IF THE BAD MAN COMES AGAIN?

I'M SCARED. I HOPE HE GETS PUNISHED.

Isn't today your day off?

Oh no...

Hope didn't go to school?

Didn't I tell you?

We're seeing the therapist today.

Oh, right...

Hang in there.

She says Hope is getting a lot better.

I'm okay...

How is Hope's father doing?

He leaves before Hope gets up.

I feel so sorry to him.

Worrying about him...

You've gotten a lot better.

Of all the kids in the world...

Why'd this happen to our little girl?

I wish the same thing happens to all the kids in the world.

Then, Hope wouldn't stand out and be in pain more.

And?

But after thinking like that... I'd feel sorry to the baby.

This happened to Hope because I'm so evil to the bone.

I think.

Whenever I clean her colostomy bag...

I'd wonder when it'll be over.

Did her grandmother live with you?

Yes.

My mom lived with us till she died last year.

She used to say, "I'm gonna die" all the time?

How did you know?

She said that when she moved because of her arthritis.

When I asked Hope what she thought that meant...

she thought for a while...

and said it meant, "Why was I born?"

Hi, Young-seok.

Hope can't walk fast, so you go a step behind her, okay?

- Okay. - Good.

I can go by myself...

I'll walk behind you.

Don't come near me.

Fine. Go first.

See you later.

Thanks, Young-seok.

Where are you off to again? You should eat lunch!

I'll be back!

Where are you going?

Somewhere!

Hope?

What's inside that bag?

Why do you want to know?

Want some candy?

- Yes! - Me, too!

I gotta go home. Bye!

- See you tomorrow! - See you tomorrow!

Hope!

The Kokomong over there...

Is that your new friend?

Is it a boy or a girl?

I have no idea.

Kokomong is just Kokomong.

Hope?

I just want to say, don't be sick.

Sorry about before.

We're still friends, right?

Yup.

See you tomorrow.

Kokomong!

You...

Are you...

Daddy?

You're Daddy, right?

Answer me!

Is it because I keep avoiding you, Daddy?

Aren't you hot?

Let's go home.

I'm home.

Hi, Hope!

Oh my!

What's this?

It's Daddy.

Why you! What are you doing in there?

Mr. IM Dong-hoon?

Registered mail!

SUBPOENA FOR IM HOPE

Why does Hope have to go to court to testify?

The Defense submitted Hope's

psychological records as evidence.

The judge said her testimony

video is not reliable.

It's going to kill her.

Still... If she doesn't testify now, things could get worse.

The sly bastard is claiming

physical and mental weakness.

What?

He wrote petitions saying

he can't remember when he's drunk.

If that gets recognized...

he'll get 15 years maximum or get off in just 8 or 9 years.

Think it over, sir.

If Hope testifies before the judge,

he'll be cornered.

CORRECTIONAL CENTER

You sent...

three petitions?

Yes.

I don't remember it.

I'm frustrated, too.

After what you did...

how can you not remember?

Whenever I drink, I can't remember.

They force me to remember, so my head hurts.

Your head hurts?

If I really did that, I deserve to die.

Doing that to a kid can't be human, but a damn pig.

Did you come to settle?

Settle?

I would love to be able to settle.

But I don't have anything.

If I get out soon, maybe I can make money.

You know what I mean?

You went there!

You remember!

You know my daughter!

Think I'd let you walk, bastard?

Don't swear to me.

Wondered why she was so cheeky...

Guess she takes after Daddy.

Think wisely.

How long do you think I'd be in here?

I'll get out someday.

So what!

What will you do!

Come out! You bastard!

Come here!

My wife said...

she wished the same thing happened to all the kids.

I thought that was really bad of her.

But now, I think that.

I know how you feel.

You can't. You didn't go through it.

Dong-hoon?

Can you think differently?

That it was an accident?

Like she was walking one day

and got hit by a car.

An accident.

What?

An accident?

Think of it that way so your family can move on.

Stop the car.

Dong-hoon?

Stop the car!

Man...

If it was your kid, can you call it an accident?

I need to walk...

By chance...

Did you take insurance on me?

What insurance?

Life insurance?

Something like that...

I have no intention and no money.

I'll work you like a dog forever!

In 10 years, how old will Hope be?

Why?

The bastard could get out in 8 or 9 years.

That's insane!

Hope won't even be 20.

If the trial goes wrong...

I'll deal with him on my own.

You'll kill him or something?

Why not! I could!

Since the Defense motioned against

the victim's video testimony...

I call IM Hope to the stand.

Hope?

Do you know why you're here?

Why did you come?

To punish the bad man.

Do you remember taking the video

with the police in the hospital?

Yes.

You must've been in a lot of pain then.

Yes.

But you still remembered?

Yes.

You saw pictures and

pointed out the bad man.

Could you do that again?

Hold your hand up when his picture comes up.

Yes.

Hope?

Is this the man?

No more questions.

Hope?

On that day...

can you tell me what the man smelled like?

Did he smell like cigarettes?

How about alcohol?

Yes.

How much?

Did it smell a lot?

No more questions.

The defendant could not prove

losing the shoes and vest.

The victim's blood marked shoes

and vest belong to the defendant.

The defendant's fingerprints were also found at the scene.

I never went there...

All the evidence points to you.

Although painful to recall,

the victim came and identified you.

Hope?

Are you okay?

I ask you one last time.

You really can't remember?

Did I really go there?

Do you accept the charges?

Did I do it?

If I did, I deserve to die.

I'll take due punishment.

But I really don't remember anything.

I submit evidence of

the defendant's alcohol addiction.

Defendant? Make your final statement.

I really don't remember anything.

I'm innocent.

Are you finished?

No, sir!

Your Honor!

I didn't do it. I was too drunk.

I don't remember anything.

It's possible I didn't do it!

I'm innocent.

I'm wrongfully charged!

Sexual assault case 2012-211. I've reached a verdict.

Defendant CHOI Jong-sool...

brutally assaulted an 9 year-old.

Then, choked her and raped her.

The assault is ruthless to the point of torturing.

Resulting from this...

the victim has been wounded

with a permanent disability.

He is responsible for scaring the victim and family for life.

Also having a past record of abuse,

he must be punished severely.

However...

the defendant was intoxicated...

and his impaired state is recognized.

Under the Act on Special Cases

concerning sexual assault, Article 9...

Article 7...

and Article 14...

He is sentenced to 12 years.

Just 12 years!

Information on the defendant

will be made public for 5 years.

And the request for the victim's compensation is overruled.

Wait!

Why go easy on him because he's drunk?

Then, drunk driving shouldn't be charged!

Drunk driving is wrong...

But you go easy on almost killing a kid!

You call this a trial!

A child almost died.

And she's our child.

I'm here and her dad's here.

And the one responsible is here.

There's evidence, too!

But just 12 years?

Order!

Know how old she'll be in just 12 years!

Not even 20 years-old!

Daddy!

Daddy, let's go home.

Let's go home, please?

Let's go home.

Let's go home...

Let's go home...

Get up.

Here he comes.

Oh my!

What a big boy!

- Dad? - Hmm?

His face is big, too.

Men should have big heads!

But not as big as yours.

Looks like it's going to be big.

Who named him?

I named Hope. Mi-hee named him.

What is it?

Happy.

IM Happy?

Yup. IM Happy.

Happy? Look here!

He's looking at us.

- Isn't he smart? - Why you.

The Loneliest person is the kindest

The Saddest person smiles the Brightest

because They don't want others to feel the same pain

- Anonymous -

I felt like I needed to go home

and left after second period.

My friends may think it was weird.

What should I say on Monday?

I'm worried about that.

I wish I wasn't sick.

Throw it to third!

Get him!

You worked all night? Aren't you sleeping?

I'll watch this, then sleep.

Yelling at a re-run!

They're making me tired.

I made an airplane today.

I made it for my brother. It looks great.

I'm good at making and fixing things like Daddy.

If that fool didn't make an error, it'd be over!

Go Lotte!

Give up on Lotte.

What! They're winning!

But they lost 7 to 8.

Don't tell me that!

Do you have to tell me now!

Man! I can't sleep now!

You being born is a blessing.

It's all right

You can stand again.

More than the past

The future is more important

I swallowed my tears

Because I'm not alone

I know that well

I'm so thankful

Hope. There is hope

Never be sad again

Trust in love that abounds

Hope. There is hope

Never be in pain again

Now, be happy again

I'm scared

I'm afraid

But I'll live on

Hope. There is hope

Never be sad again

Trust in love that abounds

Hope. There is hope

Never be in pain again

Now, be happy again

Hope. There is hope

Never be sad again

Trust in love that abounds

Hope. There is hope

Never be in pain again

Now, be happy again
