No smoking in the cutting room.
Should we cut from here?
Hold on...
Hello?
Yes.
What? Bank?
The director is not here. He left his phone.
Yes.
Not sure when he'll be back.
He will when he wants to.
Yes.
I'll tell him you phoned. Oh right.
Bye.
I thought you were the director. But I guess not.
Boy, you do look like him.
Don't you have things to do?
Salute! I'll get going.
When you see the director later, tell him we should have a drink tonight.
Work harder, will you?
Who is this?
What?
I can't hear you.
Who is this?
Could you speak up?
I'll call you back in a moment.
Yes, yes...
Hi, Sis. It's me.
Why on earth did you give him my number?
Our cousin llgyu from Sokcho...
He just called.
His mom is meeting her husband in China. They got separated in the Korean War.
He wants me to accompany them.
No way, I won't.
I haven't seen them for years. I barely remember them.
I just can't do it. You call him and explain.
I have so much to do in Busan. It's just killing me.
The money has been wired yet?
We must pay the crew.
By next week, at the latest.
And the rent for the cutting room?
I'll see what I can do.
Good.
Enjoying the food?
Are you all done now? Is it cold outside?
Freezing!
Stop whining.
You know nothing of the real cold.
It was biting in Sokcho where I did my service.
Weren't you in the Civil Defense Force?
Civil Defense Force? Hell, no!
Now I remember. You are from Sokcho.
Yeah.
Are your parents from North Korea?
Now let me propose a toast. This is to us all!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Feel so good.
Got a cigarette?
Why always ask me?
I like smoking a cigarette from somebody.
A ticket to Sokcho.
- Does this go nonstop? - Yes.
A ticket to Donghae, please.
This bus is for Sokcho and Gangnung.
Sokcho, Gangnung!
Is this a nonstop bus?
- This doesn't go nonstop. Or does it? - It's just an intercity bus.
'North Korean spies, one arrested, two escaped, August 1957'
- Attention, salute! - Salute!
Eyes front!
Salute! We hereby hand over the duty to the next guards.
We hereby take over the duty from the present guards.
- Attention, salute! - Salute!
Eyes front!
You're not from around here. I've never seen you.
You know everybody in Sokcho?
You bet. I've lived here all my life.
Wher're ya from?
I am also from Sokcho.
Where?
Have you heard of Urunggol?
Sure. There used to be a rail road. A road to the North.
Did'ya know 'at? But... not any more.
Sokcho has changed a lot, hasn't it?
Change? Well... yes and no.
Yes, the land has changed.
But no. Still no chance of going back to my home in the North.
Do you have a room for me?
Sure. Take any room you want.
Uh... Hello.
Do you remember me?
You must live here.
Hello, you're up?
Younghwa, let's go.
Hold on.
Where are you going?
To an offering.
What kind of offering?
Outsiders may not know.
We pray for our families in the North.
I am also from Sokcho.
Yeah?
Is she your daughter?
Sort of. She's been with me for so long.
No appetite? You lazy dog, you are always so picky.
Let's go now.
Yeah.
Kim Mani, Gil Bogi in Bukchong province, North Korea,
be well till we meet again.
3 years ago, I found out my father was still alive.
Right.
If your parents had been alive, they could also visit the North with me.
Right.
Come sit here. That part is cold.
I'm fine.
After sending many letters, I finally got an answer a month ago.
I exclaimed to mom, 'father is alive.'
Yeah...
So we're leaving tomorrow?
Goodness! I forgot to tell you.
We're not sure yet.
The north Korean intelligence detected our plan.
What?
Why don't you stay for dinner?
We have things to catch up over a drink.
I have an important meeting.
I'll see you later then.
Do you want to use my car?
No, thank you.
Is my father's photo shop still there?
It must have already been demolished.
Remember Urunggol, your hometown?
Apartments will soon replace it, too.
Yeah...
He's leaving without supper?
When my movie gets released, I can pay back then.
So lend me just a little more...
Please. Please...
Thank you so very much.
Good bye.
***!
Are you in the cutting room? How much editing have you done?
Enjoy Sokcho?
Enjoy, my ***.
You enjoy smoking while I'm not there.
Got any phone calls? Who?
Jesus! Tell him I'm dead.
What the hell?
Oh, it's just...
Because the light was on...
Did you have supper yet?
The food here is good, isn't it?
Right.
What's that sound?
It's the foghorn at the sea.
I see...
This is your hometown?
Yes, it is.
Right.
I'm also from this town, Urunggol. What about you?
From this neighborhood.
Oh, I see.
Give me a cigarette.
What are you doing tomorrow?
I'd like to just walk around.
But after 20 years, I've lost all my sense of directions.
I'm going away tomorrow.
Where?
Tayback.
Oh, Tayback. I always wanted to go there.
Can I go with you? Time is all I have.
See you later.
See you tomorrow.
Hop in.
I'm not dangerous.
You know the directions?
Absolutely. Hop in.
What was that?
They're using up the bullets.
They must by the end of the year.
Were you scared?
In the army we'd bury left-over bullets.
Deep in a mountain...
Salute! Your lD, please.
Why are you going to Tayback?
I'm looking for someone.
Who?
A boy friend?
Are you OK?
I feel carsick.
This will help.
What are you doing?
It makes more space for gas.
Are you kidding?
Mountain-climbing even in this weather!
Move your car.
Come on! Quick!
So that means you can't make it to China this time?
That's a shame.
No, I'll pay you a visit.
Don't worry.
See you in Sokcho.
Okay.
Are you hurt?
Lately I'm having a very hard time.
I just don't know what's wrong with me.
Yes, I know... I desperately need money.
Those *** know nothing of art.
Who are you looking for so hard?
What?
Who are you looking for?
A kid sister.
Did she run away from home?
She went missing. She was a kid.
Hey, hey.
I don't have your name yet.
My name...
Yes, your name.
Younghwa.
Younghwa! Oh, really?
Would you act in my next film?
Younghwa. Younghwa...
Younghwa!
You drank too much.
Hello.
Give us Soju.
Excuse me.
Why on earth is he doing the same crap things when he was drunk?
Hey! Hey!
We need alcohol.
That's why you're looking for the mines...
Sister, haven't we met before?
She cute little fox.
So you're going to Sabook...
Casino business is tearing down the houses there.
Well, I can take you there tomorrow.
No, you'll never find the place.
Shut up. I said I'm going with her.
Mind your own business.
You... ugly prick.
What did you say?
Did I say anything, sir? ***...
Hey, what did you say?
Why are you calling me 'hey'!
What the!
Don't.
Why do you keep pushing me?
- You ***! - Why do you push me?
What's you problem?
What time is it?
When did you get here?
Weren't you cold?
No, I was all right.
I must go to Dogye.
So do l.
Why do you follow me?
I dunno.
Why are you running like that?
Someone chasing you?
I'm just nervous.
When the sun sets, everything is strange and frightening.
I lost my sister at this time of the day.
Where shall we search tomorrow?
Enjoying sneaking into other's stuff?
Well, I was wandering... if I can be of any help.
You did enough. So leave me alone.
OK. As you wish.
What are you doing?
I thought... nobody lived here...
I see few people around here.
Everyone left. This is being torn down.
This town, too?
Why don't you sit beside me for a while?
Is that a mine pit, sir?
Used to be...
Not any more.
Is casino business taking over the area?
Yes. Everything will disappear.
They are building a casino town.
Are you leaving, too?
I should.
I made my living here digging the coal.
So ridiculous...
Remember?
You drank Makgoli and fell asleep on that cold mountain.
I took you all the way home on my back.
Everyone teased, 'Like father, like son.'
Really? I barely remember.
You still enjoy drinking?
You know...
Your father was a fine man... except for his drinking.
He had a wandering life leaving the shop in your care.
I'm sorry you came to Sokcho in vain.
It's fine.
I'm sorry your mother is ill.
So your mother was swindled by the scoundrels?
They were supposed to bring him to China, my father in North Korea.
What a cough! Did you catch cold?
I'm fine. It was chilly last night.
This is you and me.
Right... is it?
Wonder if your house is still there.
It's been years since I last visited it.
Can you find it alone?
This will help.
Urunggol is easy to find. It's right behind the terminal.
Park the car beside the terminal.
OK.
Excuse me...
Who is this?
Who is this?
Excuse me... Have you lived here for long?
Yeah. Why do you ask?
I'm looking for someone.
Someone who?
Well, it's...
Isn't this where the owner of Three Seven Photo used to live?
No. You have the wrong address.
It seems right to me...
Go ask the district chief. His house is around the corner.
This used to be the house of a photo shop owner?
Used to be a rice mill, not a photo shop.
No, I mean the 'owner' of a photo shop.
I said a rice mill was here,
On the left there was a threshing ground. And a well, too.
This used to be a rice mill. Damn it!
Look. Do you know where I lived?
You're so drunk.
Is Younghwa there?
Please take my number.
01 1 -747-3983.
Okay.
I said I needed a few more days.
Oh, come on.
Don't touch that part.
It's a match cut, you fool.
What do you know about editing?
Sop torturing me, you ***.
Winter flowers are blooming in the valley.
A hedgehog goes rusty, while a bayonet ablaze. '
What?
This is a check stop. Roll down please.
Blow, please.
Would I blame time.
What? Geez...
Springtime in the 38th parallel.
You're quite drunk. Step out of the car.
- Please go find my house. - Please step out.
Police should know where I lived.
He's all *** up. Get out.
Sit straight up, sir.
What the hell!
Shut up, please
What the hell are you talking about?
Stand upright!
How much did you drink?
To Busan, please.
- To Pohang. - 22,500 won.
Here you are.
It this bus nonstop?
Yes, it is.
Because ofheavy snow in the east, all the flights were cancelled.
All the bus services were also stopped.
Because two climbers have been missing,
a rescue team has been dispatched.
The climbers left their houses at 7am,
and have been out of contact since.
Assuming they are caught in heavy snow,
the 911 team is searching the mountain.
Kang-won weather forecasters warn that the heavy snow is going to...
You have three message.
I know you're home. I must talk to you!
Hello, this is Jeil Bank.
Your loan service expires in two days.
Repayment in time will be appreciated.
This is llgyu, your cousin.
This morning my mother passed away.
We 'll stop mourning in two days. Bye...
Good to see you again.
I am very sorry...
Well, she lived a long life.
I resent she couldn't see my father.
How are you doing with your movie?
Good...
You must be overwhelmed, too.
Ilgyu's mother had a difficult life.
She could have met her husband,
if she had not been swindled.
Now people meet their families in the North.
She used to fix great noodle soup for us.
She was really strong character.
