JAE-HYUN AND JI-SOO WILL LOVE
FOR A MILLION YEARS, MAY 12, 1995

JAE-HYUN AND JI-SOO WILL LOVE…

FOR A MILLION YEARS, WHEN MY LOVE BLOOMS

Jae-hyun.

I hope we can end this for good now.

After all these years,

we still have feelings for each other.

I think that's because
we didn't have closure.

So let's break up.

Let's say goodbye for good.

I can't do that, Ji-soo.

I want to protect you.

It's not because I'm sorry.

It's not because I regret anything.

And it's not because
I'm holding on to hope.

It's not that I wish
I could've protected you.

I want to protect you now.

That's the only reason.

Just like how you tried to protect me.

It's been only 20 years out of a million.

This is just the beginning.

How would we end it?

Now I know why you made such a choice.

It was because of me.

So I'm going to get it right.

You've been holding me hostage
without my knowledge.

You should've been more careful
if you were planning something big

in this day and age.

You'll have to stop what you're doing.

I don't plan on doing that.

Go ahead

and reveal the video.

Are you sure it'll be okay?

The prosecution
isn't done questioning you.

LAWYER LEE SE-HUN

I don't care.

I'll get something out of this too.

Take the child from the mother

who's involved in an affair.

And I will take Ji-soo

once she loses her child.

Long ago, Jae-hyun said

he had lost something

with mournful eyes.

It was you, Ji-soo.

You're not denying it.
I guess it's true, then.

There's something I want to know.

It seems you two were very much in love.

Why did you break up?

You two are making a fool of me by turns.

As if you two already agreed on this,

you'll readily sacrifice
yourselves for each other.

Then why did you break up when you
cared about each other like that?

I've made myself clear.
So I'll get going now.

I abandoned him.

Can I ask why?

My life fell apart in an instant.

And my despair and anger
were like a sharp-edged knife,

so I was afraid it would hurt him.

I'm not sure,

but couldn't you have shared your pain
with him if it was that hard?

Sharing the pain

wouldn't have halved it.

It would've turned us into a monster.

Take me to that bar of yours.

Are you sure you'll be okay?
You don't handle soju well.

How can you still remember all that?

Because you were my idol.

I liked you and admired you.

I wanted to become like you.

I joined the demonstrations
because you did.

I didn't care about the society.

But what you're doing now

is a greedy act out of regret.

You're just being selfish.

I've decided to meddle in Ji-soo's life.

What will you do?

He can't be with her.

And neither can you.

Does it have to be you?

It doesn't matter even if it's not me.

As long as Ji-soo is happy.

I know.

That's what both you and I want,

but it's just not easy.

I heard

what you said to Lee Se-hun earlier.

Did you really mean it?

I did, Yeong-u.

If that were to happen,

I would take Ji-soo with me.

FAMILY RELATION CERTIFICATE

You haven't forgotten, right?
It's tomorrow.

Do you know everything
you have to prepare?

Now I know why you made such a choice.

It was because of me.

So I'm going to get it right.

JAE-HYUN

Where are you? I'll be there.

JAE-HYUN

Don't do it, Ji-soo.

If you make a foolish choice again,

I will do something foolish as well.

If you get back together with him,

I'll reveal the video to the world.

You will lose

everything you've got.

Maybe I will.

I might get stoned in public.

But, Ji-soo, just think about

why we broke up.

Are you sure you can cook?

MAY 1995

I've cooked for myself
since middle school.

Both my parents were busy working.

You grew up early.

Children who are alone grow up fast.

I feel bad for you.

But I also think it's a good thing.

How do you want to raise our children?

-Are you all right?
-Excuse me.

Are you Han Jae-hyun?

You weren't called
into the military in time.

You're wanted for breaching
military service law.

You're arrested without a warrant
as of May 20, 1995 at 11:05 a.m.

Go easy on him. It must hurt.

Don't worry. Just go home.

It's my fault.

I think Dad did this to you.

You said you got a draft deferment.

Keep my stuff
at the persimmon tree house for me.

They are expensive.
Don't make off with them.

It won't take long.

I'll see you again in a little bit.

GRAY SNOWMAN BY CHOI YUN

MAY 12, HIDING WITH JI-SOO
IN THE PERSIMMON TREE HOUSE

On a starry night

I hear your voice

Like white pollen fluttering around

I want to sit on the flower that is you

As I look up to the night sky

I feel your breath

On a small boat

Floating along on water

I want to reach the lake that is you

If you ever leave me

I will follow to the end

To the very end

MARRIAGE REGISTRATION

YUN JI-SOO

Where are you?

I'm sorry, but I changed my mind.

I can't go back to you.

I'm not going to let it push me around.

I'll stand up against it,

be it fate or a person.

Are you done registering the marriage?

LEE SE-HUN

Han Jae-hyun came to see me.

Did he seem to know anything?

He knew about the video
and that we would get back together.

So?

He says he will take Yun Ji-soo back

if I release the video.

And I think he talked to Ji-soo too.

She said she wouldn't come back to me.

I've figured out what you had lost.

If you were to get it back,

I was going to congratulate you.

But I can't.

Why aren't you saying anything?

You know I gave him the video.

It's me who is in the wrong.

That's why, Seo-gyeong--

I said I lost her deliberately.

I'm the one who left her.

It's not that I was abandoned.

Mom.

JANG SEO-GYEONG

If you get abandoned once,

you blame the person who abandoned you.

But if it happens twice,

you blame yourself.

So...

please don't abandon me.

It hurts my pride.

Lunch is ready. Come on in and eat.

Did my wife leave this here?

She told me to throw it away.

I'll do it.

Can you find me
a cassette player for these?

Thanks to the 90s retro trend,

it's no problem to find it online.

Then will you please get me one?

Of course, sir.

I guess you visit
the online Topgol Park too.

Where is that?

Oh, well…

It's not an actual place. It's a website.

You can watch
old music shows from the 90s there.

I feel like you're making fun of me.

No. Why would I do that?

I also know buzzwords that young kids use.

Like "canceled."

What are you laughing at?

KIM HYUN-SIK

I don't think you did it,

but I just want to know how it went.

I'm not getting back together with him.

I'm glad to hear that.

But I still think we should
stop seeing each other.

I want to protect you.

That's just how I feel and what I want.

Whether we see each other or not,
I'll try my best.

And I will try my best

to get away from you.

GARAM INTERNATIONAL MIDDLE SCHOOL

Yeong-min.

You look like Leon.

Who's Leon?

Just someone. He's a good-looking guy.

I got this from school.

I want to grow it at home.

Rather than at home, why don't we grow it
somewhere outside?

It can't spread deep roots in a flowerpot.

Okay.

Yeong-min, do you think it would've
been better to live in a bigger house?

Like the house you saw
with your dad the other day.

Are we really going to live with Dad?

Yeong-min.

Will you forgive me this once?

I did something wrong.

I told your dad that we'd live with him
without talking to you.

Then I changed my mind.

So we're not living with him?

I forgive you.

Are you okay with that?

I think not living with him
is a little better for me.

Why?

Because you don't like it.

That's why you left him.

You decided to live with him,

but you just couldn't do it.

For a middle school kid,

aren't you being too rational?

I'm being emotional.

I feel scared and uncomfortable
about it too.

He's too mature for his age.

Is it because he's an only child?

ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK OF LEON

FEBRUARY 1995

I think I cried too much
watching the movie. I can barely see.

Take off the sunglasses.

Gosh, they're too dark.

Did you really cry?

Of course.

My brother, Leon broke my heart.

What an unlucky guy.

The last scene with Mathilda
was really sad.

Which scene?

She said this while
replanting the plant in the park.

"We will be okay here, Leon."

Ji-soo, you speak very good English.

You mean good listening.

Not important. Now that we're here,

why don't we have some makgeolli

which is similar
to milk that Leon liked to drink?

You said you'd be out after the movie.

It's not like I'm inside.
How would I go out?

Do you think it's funny? It's just lame.

There's something I want to buy.

Let's just go drink some rice wine.
What do you want to buy?

What is it?

"Leon."

It's not like you can become Mathilda
just by holding a flowerpot.

A face like hers is one in a million.

Ji-soo is a lot prettier than her.

What's wrong with them?

Do you think I'd be jealous of you?

Actually I am.

Why are you planting it here?

Because

this place is special.

What's so special about here?

This place has God, the Virgin Mary,

a lot of priests, and even believers.

At least it won't feel lonely.

Water it.

JUNE 1995

I finally replanted Leon
in a bigger place.

I picked the place with no hesitation.

At least here, we are going to be okay.

FROM YUN JI-SOO

TO RECRUIT HAN JAE-HYUN

I'm not so sure if this is the one.

This is nothing to be disappointed about.

Goodnight, Ji-soo.

Goodbye, Jae-hyun.

Jang Seo-gyeong.

I'm glad you're here.

I wanted to have a drink with you.

Why are you being like this again?

This is all your fault.

Why? What did I do?

I take after you,

so I'm suffering from love
just like you did.

Mom never smiled

in front of you her whole life.

But I saw her smile once
at the amusement park.

She looked beautiful.

And just like Mom did,

Jae-hyun, who's as cold as ice,

told her

that he could give up
his everything to be with her.

"Her"?

I bet he smiled at her…

every day.

I bet it was a beautiful smile.

Where's Seo-gyeong?

She's still hungover from last night,
so she doesn't want to eat.

We need to talk.

I'm done talking to you.

There's something I did.

So I can't pretend as if nothing happened.

The video isn't going to be revealed.

Then you won't have to protect her.

Nothing will change.

Get out of the room. I feel nauseous.

So you're assigned
to the distribution center?

Yes.

Isn't it hard to work there?

It is hard.

I was a cashier,
but now I have to do manual labor.

Is it like a revenge appointment?

I guess so.

At least I'm a full-time employee now,
so I can join the labor union.

I like that.

I'm glad.

What about you?

Are you doing fine?

I'm doing great.

Are you still busy?

Being busy is a good thing for us.

I guess you're right.

I'd like to ask you a favor,
if you don't mind.

I'm in the culture department
of the labor union.

So we're preparing a cultural festival.

But we have no one to play the keyboard.

That's when you came to my mind.

Is it still okay
if I'm not a member there?

Not a problem.
We invite a lot of outsiders anyway.

-I'm in.
-But it doesn't pay well.

You don't have to pay me.

That's just not right.

I've always wanted
to use my talent for a good cause.

Do you want me to order more food?

VICE PRESIDENT HAN JAE-HYUN

The prosecutors are in the lobby

with a warrant again
for the second seize and search.

And they have a summons against you.

It seems quite brutal down there.

Do you think something's going wrong?

I should cooperate if they ask me to.

You're making me even more nervous.
What if you're put in jail again?

Stop making a fuss and brace yourself.

The real game is beginning now.

HYUNGSUNG GROUP LABOR UNION
CULTURAL FESTIVAL

Where is this music coming from?

The labor union is having
a cultural festival.

I guess they're trying
to irritate Chairman Jang.

Let us live like rocks

Even when the rainstorm rages

No matter what tempts us

Let us live like unshaken rocks

Those who get shaken by the wind

What are they up to now?

Call the police and sweep them away.

They got permission
from the district office.

And there's Ms. Yun Ji-soo.

-Who?
-The woman who's seeing Mr. Han

that you asked me to run
a background check on.

What is she doing there?

I'll find it out.

Which one is she?

She's the one playing the keyboard.

I can tell she's extraordinary
even all the way from here.

HYUNGSUNG GROUP LABOR UNION
CULTURAL FESTIVAL

Give me a call when you need me

I will come running to you anytime

Even in the daytime or nighttime

Mr. Han, I'm going
to the 20th floor, not the 30th--

I'm going to the 30th floor,
and you're coming with me.

I saw you taking pictures
of the cultural festival.

Yes. Chairman Jang
wants to see the pictures.

Can I take a look as well?

I need to see the members
of the labor union.

I'll send them to you via email, then.

I need to see them now.

Mr. Lee.

DELETING

Ji-soo.

You don't have to avoid me.

I'm here on official business today.

I'm telling you this as an executive.

I don't want you to join
an event like today's festival.

I'm not your employee.

And even if I was,

you can't order me
to do or not to do something.

Why would you join the festival
when you're not our employee?

I just did it for my old colleagues,

and I enjoyed it.

I've always felt bad
that I ran away alone like a coward.

I felt like I was asking for
a better world without actually helping.

So I'm glad I was able
to do something for them.

More importantly,
this is what I'm good at.

Unlike the keyboard warriors
who post malicious comments online,

I want to be a real warrior who fights
with a keyboard in the real world.

You said you were busy making ends meet.

How could you be a warrior?

I'm doing only this much
because I'm busy making ends meet.

And that's why I'm ashamed.

You haven't changed.

Because there are people
who still need help.

I guess I didn't see them

because I've been turning
a blind eye to them.

Jun-seo, do you have fun at school?

Not really.

Isn't it fun?

It's just annoying.

Why? What's wrong?

It's got great facilities

and the best teachers. What's wrong?

Do you not know

that some kid threw a chair at me?

How could you hide
such a serious matter from me?

I'm sorry, sir.

He's the one who got hit,
not the one who hit another.

I was going to publicize the issue

and have him punished.

But Ms. Jang and Mr. Han told me

that they wanted to let it slide.

Did Seo-gyeong say that?

Ms. Jang wanted to take strong action,

but Mr. Han didn't want
to call the school violence committee.

MURDEROUS BUSINESS

BRUTALITY OF HYUNGSUNG

SHAMELESS CHAIRMAN HAS TO APOLOGIZE

LOVE LETTER

Hello?

Hello, this is Hyeon-u's mom.

Are you attending
the open classroom tomorrow?

I'd love to go,

but I'd feel a little uncomfortable.

My husband is tenderhearted, so I guess
that's why he agreed to see her.

His friend from college
begged him in tears,

so he had no choice but to let it go.

My gosh.
How did something like that happen?

This is embarrassing.
But I needed someone to talk to.

I'm glad you told me that.

I'm not in a powerful position
or anything,

but I'm in charge of
taking care of other moms.

And this is the worst thing
that has ever happened.

Gosh.

My face is flushing.

Anyway, I feel uncomfortable
around Yeong-min's mom.

So I don't think I can make it.

Why would you say that?

You don't have to avoid her.
She's the one who's in the wrong.

I'll take care of it.

I can never ignore things like this.

If word gets out, it will damage
the school's reputation.

You're being investigated
by prosecutors again?

What if you end up in jail again?

Do you enjoy going to jail or something?

This is what I expected
when I started planning the whole thing.

I knew it might happen.

I wasn't afraid
of going to jail back then.

"Easier second time around,"
something like that?

But I'm afraid now.

Why?

What if Ji-soo disappears?

What if something happens
to her again while I'm gone?

How could one go through

something like that twice in life?

Why are you guys so pathetic?

When you were together,

you two were

unbelievably cute.

OPEN CLASS DAY

-Hello, it's me.
-I'll be back here.

Oh, you're here.

I'm glad you made it.

-Welcome.
-You look great today.

Hello.

-Ms. Yun.
-Yes?

Can you spare me a few minutes?

-What is it?
-I have something to talk to you about.

The other moms are there too.

Hello, Ms. Yun.

We already finished eating.
Why don't you order something?

I'm fine.

All right, then. We don't have much time.
Let's just get this over with.

It's not that I don't know
the position you're in.

But some things are acceptable
and some aren't.

I don't like beating around the bush.

Fine. Let's cut to the chase.

How could you hit on
another parent from the school?

That's how stopped the school
violence committee hearing.

You shouldn't have settled things
like that however desperate you were.

If the rumor gets out,

it is only a matter of time until
the school's reputation is tarnished.

If you call yourself a mother,

you should have at least some dignity.

How would you even face your son
after doing all that?

He might know it already.
Kids catch on quick.

You said your husband was
a famous lawyer in Gangnam.

I heard that's a lie.

And you went on a protest
after getting fired at some supermarket.

How could you not apologize
after deceiving us all like that?

If you have something to say, say it.

Has the cat got your tongue?

I guess you didn't find this out.

I have a criminal record

for assault.

It happened at a place just like this.
This brings back my old memories.

Are you threatening me now?

How dare you--

I get that you hope to get a rake-off
playing Jang Seo-gyeong's minion.

But you picked the wrong person.

"Minion"?

Come here.

Don't you dare bite me off.
I'll bite you back.

There's nothing true
about your made-up story.

If you spread a false rumor to your kids,

I'm willing to get another
criminal record and go to jail again.

-My goodness.
-What the…

It doesn't seem like
she let them pick on her.

-Turn off the recorder.
-Okay.

Were things quiet on your way here?

I had to come at such short notice,
so no one was around on the first floor.

At least, not yet.

We try our best to keep it confidential
when you visit.

But you know there are
a lot of words going around here.

I guess there would be
a lot of eavesdropping as well.

Mr. Han.

Things have come to a pretty pass.

I don't think we can protect you

as an anonymous informant.

It's the Korean law.

It has a lot of loopholes
when it comes to whistleblowing.

We have a big fishing net,
but the net is quite loose.

So it's not easy to catch a big fish.

That's not what you said last time.

I guess you didn't want things
to go this way.

For now, the fish
are stronger than the net.

Then to catch a big fish,

we'll have to go into the water.

Are you talking about what comes
after the borrowed-name accounts?

The borrowed-name accounts
aren't just about money and tax.

Like you said before,
we're looking into the issue.

But what they're hiding is just too huge.

And the water is too deep.

I'll help you.

Mr. Han, I'm not a person
who only sees what he wants to see.

I just see what I see.

And I take care of what I see
by the rules.

If we dig deeper than this,

you might get yourself into trouble.

I have no choice, though.

That's what I had to brace
myself for to begin with.

I admire your strong will.

I have a lot of things to sort out.

Please begin.

Thank you.

-So the borrowed-name bank accounts…
-They'll be transferred.

Okay.

Does it have something
to do with Hyungsung Group?

What was the investigation about?

-Please say something.
-Please answer.

We are ashamed of you.

DISPEL CORRUPTION

JANG SAN MUST APOLOGIZE

ARREST HAN JAE-HYUN

Please say something.

Tell us about the investigation.

What was the investigation about?

-Please answer.
-Do you admit the charge?

Please say something about the charge.

Please say something.

We are ashamed of you.

During the general strike
of Hyungsung Steel five years ago,

Mr. Kwon Hyeok-su took his own life

due to the conflict
between employers and workers,

and his family filed a complaint
against Vice President Han

of Hyungsung Supermarket today.

Mr. Kwon's death

wasn't an accident
due to personal reasons.

We'd like to reveal
that it was a tragic sacrifice

caused by the company's
unfair labor practices.

Also, five years ago, Han carried out

inhumane layoffs under
the pretext of business rationalization.

So he's at the core of the suspicion.

Well…

The lawyer who filed
a complaint against you

is Lee Se-hun.

So are we trying our best in our own ways?

What day is it today?

It's Wednesday.

Labor freedom

MARCH 1995

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

-The body of Christ.
-Amen.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

The body of Christ.

Take this and say "amen."

May the Lord be with you.

Follow her.

The body of Christ.

Asyli has been trampled.

"Asyli"?

It means "sanctuary" in Latin.

It's a place where criminals or fugitives
can go to be safe.

But they got in
and took all the fugitives today.

Then I will be your Asyli.

Whenever you come to me,
I'll hide you so no one can take you.

In this place,

we will be okay.

Look at you.
You're using that line quite a lot.

The body of Christ.

Your Leon is still there.

I guess someone
has been taking care of it.

That's amazing. How is it possible?

Actually, it's not Leon.

It's not?

I knew it.

I recently planted it.

On purpose.

Right here.

I had forgotten all about…

this place.

It's Asyli.

It's a place completely hidden
from the rest of the world, so…

So we can…

I was afraid to be held back by the past,

so I just kept walking fast
without looking back.

But I always ended up right here.

Maybe

I've been walking towards
this place all this time.

Now my legs hurt.

I'll just stay here today.

Because…

we will be okay here.

FOR I HAVE LIVED FOR WAITING FOR YOU

AND MY HEART

WAS ONLY YOUR FOOTSTEPS

"THE FOOTSTEPS" BY PAUL VALÉRY

I'm not sure what's true

and what's right.

I will show you
what Han Jae-hyun has done.

Since it's a matter of survival,
make a decision for yourself.

That's because of the change.
You've changed.

You look a lot like him.

Has he never said anything about me?

You said you wanted to know

why I left you.
