Copy !req
170. But how will you get there?
Copy !req
171. For a guy so paranoid about his car,
Copy !req
172. how'd you break a mirror?

be a decent human being?
Copy !req

charge 5,000 won, okay?
Copy !req

I've had a rough day.
Copy !req
177. Have a heart, man! How can you be so cheap?
Copy !req
178. And get an inspection sometime.
The engine doesn't sound right.
Copy !req
179. An inspection? I inspect my car every day.
Copy !req
180. After 600,000 km, this
car is past retirement.
Copy !req
181. Easy on my car!
Copy !req

breaks, it'll cost you more.

195. - What?
- Another portion for us.
Copy !req
196. No, I'm fine. Never mind!

197. Why not? I said I'd pay.
Copy !req
198. Don't be silly, I'll pay.
Copy !req
199. What's the occasion?
Copy !req
200. Instead, lend me some money.
Copy !req
201. I figured. How much?
Copy !req
202. 100,000 won. From your private stash.
Copy !req
203. Hey! I gave it all to my sister
As a secret wedding gift.
Copy !req
204. But why so much? You

Copy !req
205. It's not the rent, is it?
Copy !req
206. Bingo!
Copy !req
207. My god.
Copy !req
208. Only you would borrow from
your landlord to pay the rent.
Copy !req
209. Lend it to me before you
start saying things.

be back in Seoul by now.
Copy !req
355. Here, no soldier!
Copy !req
356. Yeah, great. No soldier.
Copy !req
357. What's going on, for them

Copy !req
383. He'll be very unhappy if I don't
get back with those documents.
Copy !req
384. Very very unhappy! Tell him.
Copy !req
385. What did he say?

Copy !req
392. But come right back.
Copy !req

because of the rioters.
Copy !req
394. - Rioters?
- Yes.
Copy !req
395. Yes, we'll be back in a flash.
Copy !req
396. - Allegiance!
- Yes.
Copy !req
397. Nice job back there!
Copy !req
398. My fare.
Copy !req
399. 100,000 won now.
Copy !req
400. I've told you, I'll pay you
once we get back to Seoul.
Copy !req
401. Gwang-ju dangerous.
Copy !req
402. So pay in advance.
Copy !req
403. First money.
Copy !req
404. No, it's "Ladies first," so...
Copy !req
405. Money first.
Copy !req
406. Korea business style.
Copy !req
407. Now no money, I go Seoul.
Copy !req
408. Your choice.
Copy !req
409. Go ahead and glare at me, you jerk.
Copy !req
410. Your choice!
Copy !req
411. You'll get the rest in Seoul.
Copy !req
412. Your choice!
Copy !req
413. What a fox. Are you copying me?
Copy !req
414. Still, 50,000 is nice.
Copy !req
415. I choice! Let's go Gwang-ju, okay?
Copy !req
416. Alrighty!
Copy !req
417. What a miser.
Copy !req
418. Glare at me like that and
I'll rip your eyes out.
Copy !req
419. You don't know what I'm saying, do you?
Copy !req
420. Let's go Gwang-ju,
Copy !req
421. that's all I said.
Copy !req
422. To the citizens of democratic Gwang-ju...
Copy !req
423. Defend Democracy to the Death!
Copy !req
424. What's going on here?
Copy !req
425. Rescind martial law!
Copy !req
426. Stop the car, Driver. What does that mean?
Copy !req
427. Huh? What?
Copy !req
428. To the 1980s, Decade of Hope!
Copy !req
429. It says...
Copy !req
430. Hope, hope. Eight.
Copy !req
431. Ah, 80, 80. Hope.
Copy !req
432. Hope?
Copy !req
433. In the 1980s...
Copy !req
434. Oh, it's just some crap. Forget about it.
Copy !req
435. What's that?
Copy !req
436. Wait, stop! Pull over.
Copy !req
437. Hey look, it's a Seoul taxi.
Copy !req
438. Whoa, it's a foreigner.
Copy !req
439. Hi. Where are you going?
Copy !req
440. - What's he saying?
- Well...
Copy !req
441. Isn't that a camera?
Copy !req
442. Those university students
speak worse English than me.
Copy !req
443. Hey, Jae-sik! You speak
some English, right?
Copy !req
444. Get over here, Jae-sik.
Copy !req
445. Why me?
Copy !req
446. Hi.
Copy !req
447. Hi.
Copy !req
448. Where are you going?
Copy !req
449. Where are you from?
Copy !req
450. Germany. German broadcast, ARD.
Copy !req
451. German. Um.. Are you a reporter?
Copy !req
452. Yes. I am a reporter.
Copy !req
453. He's a reporter from
Germany, come to shoot us.
Copy !req
454. We'll be on the news. Great!
Copy !req
455. Businessman, my ass.
Copy !req
456. If you're a reporter,
you should've told me!
Copy !req
457. He rode here in a taxi from Seoul!
Copy !req
458. Let's give a hand to the
taxi driver who came so far!
Copy !req
459. Ah well, from Seoul to here...
Copy !req
460. Where are you headed now?
Copy !req
461. is pretty far.
Copy !req
462. We go to the hospital for the sick.
Copy !req
463. Can I come with you?
Copy !req
464. Yes.
Copy !req
465. I'd like to interview him.
Copy !req
466. He wants to interview you.
Copy !req
467. Wow, you're a star now!
Copy !req
468. Ah, I should've at least washed my face.
Copy !req
469. You come up too, Mister.
Copy !req
470. What do you mean?
Copy !req
471. He needs to drive his taxi.
Copy !req
472. Don't worry, don't worry.
Copy !req
473. I'll be right behind you.
Copy !req
474. Me too go!
Copy !req
475. Then follow us!
Copy !req
476. Let's go!
Copy !req
477. I should've known 100,000 won
was too good to be true.
Copy !req
478. Can't risk my car getting damaged
in the protest again.
Copy !req
479. Oh my, taxi!
Copy !req
480. Give me a lift, mister!
Copy !req
481. Take a Gwang-ju taxi, granny.
This is a Seoul taxi.
Copy !req
482. Oh, jeez.
Copy !req
483. Granny, can you even pay the fare?
Copy !req
484. Who's in the hospital?
Copy !req
485. They said someone who looks
like my youngest son
Copy !req
486. was brought there after
a soldier smashed his head.
Copy !req
487. Is he a university student?
Does he protest?
Copy !req
488. He didn't even go to high school.
Copy !req
489. Didn't come home last night.
Copy !req
490. Then he must have been out
drinking with his friends!
Copy !req
491. He can't drink.
Copy !req
492. And those soldiers, they've gone berserk,
Copy !req
493. beating and stabbing anyone who passes by.
Copy !req
494. Granny, I was an army sergeant.
No soldier would ever do that.
Copy !req
495. Those are all just rumors, right?
Copy !req
496. Of course...
Copy !req
497. Then where the heck did he go?
Copy !req
498. No, I won't take you!
Copy !req
499. Go see if they need help.
Copy !req
500. Please drive. I have to rush.
Copy !req
501. What's your hurry?
Copy !req
502. You don't write a single
line in the newspaper!
Copy !req
503. You reporters have more
time than anyone now!
Copy !req
504. If reporters don't report,
why should we drive?
Copy !req
505. Gwang-ju taxi drivers must be rich,
turning down fares like that.
Copy !req
506. Ma'am.
Copy !req
507. Please give me a ride.
Copy !req
508. No way.
Copy !req
509. Damn it!
Copy !req
510. Taxi, taxi!
Copy !req
511. No, this is a Seoul taxi.
Take a Gwang-ju taxi.
Copy !req
512. Go to the other side!
Copy !req
513. Oh my.
Copy !req
514. What a mess.
Copy !req
515. A high school student?
Copy !req
516. Careful!
Copy !req
517. Go call a doctor!
Copy !req
518. Doctor!
Copy !req
519. Doctor!
Copy !req
520. Please find my youngest son.
I beg you, please...
Copy !req
521. Where are you, Yong-pyo?
Copy !req
522. Oh, Yong-pyo! My son...
Copy !req
523. Are you okay?
Copy !req
524. Mom?
Copy !req
525. Mom!
Copy !req
526. Yong-pyo!
Copy !req
527. What are you doin' here?
Copy !req
528. Oh, you wicked boy!
Copy !req
529. I thought something awful happened to you.
Copy !req
530. Are you okay?
Copy !req
531. This ain't nothin' at all.
Just three stitches.
Copy !req
532. Are you hurt anywhere else?
Copy !req
533. I'm totally fine.
Copy !req
534. - Sir, thank you so much!
- Oh...
Copy !req
535. Thank you, really.
Copy !req
536. Mom, wear this.
Copy !req
537. Don't know what I'd have done
without this taxi driver.
Copy !req
538. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
539. You got some money?
Copy !req
540. I ain't got money.
Copy !req
541. Never mind, you don't need to pay me.
Copy !req
542. See, I told you he'd be fine!
Copy !req
543. Wait! Are you that Seoul taxi...
Copy !req
544. You know me?
Copy !req
545. It's you!
Copy !req
546. Yong-pyo, you know him?
Copy !req
547. - A while back, this guy...
- Hey, mister!
Copy !req
548. What's he doing here?
Copy !req
549. Do you have any idea how much
time I wasted looking for you?
Copy !req
550. We've been driving all
over trying to find you!
Copy !req
551. Where is my film bag?
Copy !req
552. Who is he to yell at my driver!
Copy !req
553. He ran off with this reporter's
expensive equipment.
Copy !req
554. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
555. How dare you!
Copy !req
556. I took what? I didn't take anything!
Copy !req
557. What's going on?
Copy !req
558. His...
Copy !req
559. Look here!
Copy !req
560. What's this doing here?
Copy !req
561. I don't know.
Copy !req
562. I really didn't know.
Copy !req
563. You said to follow, and then you sped off.
Copy !req
564. I don't know the roads here.
You know how hard I searched?
Copy !req
565. Hey mister, that ain't so.
Copy !req
566. People saw you take a U-turn.
Copy !req
567. Hey, Yong-pyo! Watch it.
Copy !req
568. Would he really take off
without collecting his fare?
Copy !req
569. Here, the other half of the fare.
Copy !req
570. So you just go back to Seoul.
I'm better off on my own.
Copy !req
571. What? He charged 50,000
won just to come here?
Copy !req
572. Actually, they agreed on 100,000,
and he already received half.
Copy !req
573. 100,000 won?
Copy !req
574. What? So he got paid and tried to run off?
Copy !req
575. Take this and go!
Copy !req
576. Just take it.
Copy !req
577. Why are you giving this guy money?
Copy !req
578. He's giving us all a bad name.
Copy !req
579. Taxi drivers like this need
to be taught a lesson!
Copy !req
580. Whose side are you guys on, anyway?
Copy !req
581. How dare you start shouting!
Copy !req
582. Bro, am I wrong?
Copy !req
583. Why don't you say something?
Copy !req
584. What would I say?
Copy !req
585. If he received his fare...
Copy !req
586. would he really just ditch his passenger?
Copy !req
587. Man, you're so wishy-washy.
Copy !req
588. I'm not wishy-washy.
Copy !req
589. I'm firm when I need to be.
Don't you know me?
Copy !req
590. Hey, Seoul Driver! You'll
pay for doing that.
Copy !req
591. As a driver it's wrong, and
as a human being it's wrong!
Copy !req
592. How dare you talk to me that way!
Copy !req
593. I guess everything they
said about you was true!
Copy !req
594. Let me take a look at your license number.
Copy !req
595. What the hell are you doing?
Copy !req
596. Here!
Copy !req
597. I'm not receiving anything, alright?
Copy !req
598. Let's go.
Copy !req
599. College boy! Are you gonna
ride around in my car all day?
Copy !req
600. He asked me to translate...
Copy !req
601. Do your parents know what you're doing?
Copy !req
602. Why are you chewing me out?
Copy !req
603. Didn't you see back there?
Copy !req
604. Your mother must be worried sick.
Copy !req
605. Paying that expensive tuition, did
you go to university to protest?
Copy !req
606. You went to study, right?
Then you should study, dammit!
Copy !req
607. I didn't go to university to study.
Copy !req
608. I went to compete in the
university song contest.
Copy !req
609. Then why not spend this time
practicing your singing?
Copy !req
610. Mister, you don't know
what you're talking about.
Copy !req
611. You students think other
countries are as nice as ours?
Copy !req
612. Go to Saudi Arabia! In that hot, burning...
Copy !req
613. What's so great about a country
where soldiers assault you?
Copy !req
614. Then why do you keep protesting?
Copy !req
615. They keep telling you to
stop, but you won't listen!
Copy !req
616. How is it that this foreigner
understands better than you?
Copy !req
617. Forget it.
Copy !req
618. Seven o'clock go Seoul, okay?
Copy !req
619. Okay.
Copy !req
620. Promise, seven o'clock!
Copy !req
621. Is he going in the right direction?
Copy !req
622. Yeah, don't worry. This
is the right direction.
Copy !req
623. We turn right here, and then we go more.
Copy !req
624. There!
Copy !req
625. Oh my god!
Copy !req
626. Mister, you missed the right turn!
Copy !req
627. Gas, gas!
Copy !req
628. I'm going to fill the gas tank!
Copy !req
629. Goddamn!
Copy !req
630. Gas...
Copy !req
631. Stop, stop.
Copy !req
632. 3,000 won's worth, but like a full tank.
Copy !req
633. Who do you think I am?
Copy !req
634. I'm not that kind of person!
Copy !req
635. What did I just say?
Copy !req
636. You're not that kind of person.
Copy !req
637. No, I said 3,000 won.
Copy !req
638. - Right?
- Yes.
Copy !req
639. Stop pumping! What, are you crazy?
Copy !req
640. - What are you doing?
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
641. I asked for 3,000 won's worth.
3,000 won only!
Copy !req
642. What?
Copy !req
643. You think I'm gonna pay more?
Copy !req
644. I may be an out-of-towner,
but this is outrageous!
Copy !req
645. I'm only gonna pay 3,000 won.
Copy !req
646. Look at this guy.
Copy !req
647. What are you so angry about,
Copy !req
648. me giving you a bit more gas
when it's all free anyway.
Copy !req
649. If I filled it full, you'd
have me by the throat.
Copy !req
650. Free?
Copy !req
651. Did you think everyone in
Gwang-ju was just like you?
Copy !req
652. Ouch!
Copy !req
653. Why didn't you say it's free?
I'd have filled the tank full.
Copy !req
654. Then fill it before you head back to Seoul.
Copy !req
655. Of course! The gas fare to Seoul is costly.
Copy !req
656. But why is it free?
Copy !req
657. You saw that taxi at the hospital?
Copy !req
658. Taxi drivers have one helluva
of a job these days.
Copy !req
659. Some were arrested for
transporting wounded people.
Copy !req
660. What's wrong about that?
You can't choose who you take.
Copy !req
661. That's my point.
Copy !req
662. We didn't do anything wrong
to be suffering like this.
Copy !req
663. Gwang-ju citizens, to
the Provincial Office!
Copy !req
664. Drive out the martial law soldiers!
Copy !req
665. That way, mister. Over there.
Copy !req
666. Citizens of Gwang-ju! We're
all in this together!
Copy !req
667. Drive out the soldiers!
Copy !req
668. Drive them out and protect our city!
Copy !req
669. Citizens of Gwang-ju!
Let's all take action!
Copy !req
670. Coming through! News reporter here!
Copy !req
671. All the way from Seoul to
report, so please make way.
Copy !req
672. Thank you, thanks!
Copy !req
673. That's a reporter!
Copy !req
674. A foreigner?
Copy !req
675. Thank you!
Copy !req
676. Flew all the way here?
Copy !req
677. Make way, people!
Copy !req
678. Best to set out on a full stomach.
Have some.
Copy !req
679. What's this? Thank you.
Copy !req
680. - Hungry? Try one.
- Thank you.
Copy !req
681. - Is it okay to take this?
- We already ate!
Copy !req
682. Thanks so much!
Copy !req
683. Thanks to you, too!
Copy !req
684. Mister, we'll be back in no time.
Why bother?
Copy !req
685. If my car gets scratched,
are you gonna pay for it?
Copy !req
686. Hey!
Copy !req
687. Hello? Where are you from?
Copy !req
688. ARD Germany. My name is Peter.
Copy !req
689. I'm Choi, a local reporter.
How did you get here?
Copy !req
690. I heard all the roads to
Gwang-ju are blocked.
Copy !req
691. I came by taxi.
Copy !req
692. Live and die together, hoorah hoorah!
Copy !req
693. We'd rather die standing
than live on our knees!
Copy !req
694. We fight for justice!
Copy !req
695. Afternoon of May 20,
1980 Geumnam Street, Gwang-ju
Copy !req
696. Citizens of Gwang-ju, unite!
Copy !req
697. Citizens of Gwang-ju, citizens of Gwang-ju,
Copy !req
698. Citizens of Gwang-ju, unite!
Copy !req
699. Can you hold this?
Copy !req
700. Yeah, okay, sure.
Copy !req
701. What a jerk.
Copy !req
702. Wow, Jeolla Province really
does have the best food.
Copy !req
703. Looks simple, but tastes great.
Copy !req
704. The seasoning is perfect!
Copy !req
705. Be very careful.
Copy !req
706. The Korean press is not allowed here,
and foreign press is not welcome.
Copy !req
707. If they find you are here, the
government will hunt you down.
Copy !req
708. And the people helping you.
Copy !req
709. What, you want one?
Copy !req
710. Have a bite. Nothing's happening there.
Copy !req
711. No, thank you.
Copy !req
712. Why so serious all of a sudden?
Copy !req
713. It's nothing.
Copy !req
714. I have to join them.
Copy !req
715. Don't get involved, stay here.
Copy !req
716. How can I just watch?
Copy !req
717. What difference will it make?
Copy !req
718. Okay. Let's get down there.
Copy !req
719. Where? There?
Copy !req
720. No, no, no, here stay. There danger.
Copy !req
721. Here safe.
Copy !req
722. You stay, we go down.
Copy !req
723. That guy's just shooting from up here, too.
Copy !req
724. Where are you going?
Copy !req
725. What's going on?
Copy !req
726. Drive out Chun Doo-hwan!
Copy !req
727. Danger, danger.
Copy !req
728. If you're gonna shoot, do it from there.
Copy !req
729. It's too dangerous here.
Copy !req
730. Let's go, will you?
Copy !req
731. Are you okay?
Copy !req
732. Sorry, sorry!
Copy !req
733. What the hell is wrong with you?
Copy !req
734. That's why I said, it's too dangerous here!
Copy !req
735. - Let's go.
- Don't touch!
Copy !req
736. Mister, the soldiers have gone crazy.
Copy !req
737. Hurry up and run!
Copy !req
738. Damned commie needs to be taught a lesson!
Copy !req
739. Get rid of him!
Copy !req
740. Hey, who's that?
Copy !req
741. Get him.
Copy !req
742. Do you have a death wish? We need to go!
Copy !req
743. Mister, this way! This way!
Copy !req
744. Over here!
Copy !req
745. Hurry!
Copy !req
746. Huh? Isn't she...?
Copy !req
747. Mister!
Copy !req
748. Mister, hurry up!
Copy !req
749. That's why I kept saying danger!
Copy !req
750. Is that thing expensive?
Copy !req
751. I've never seen one before.
Should I ask him?
Copy !req
752. No, don't ask.
Copy !req
753. What? It wasn't my fault.
Copy !req
754. But why were those
soldiers acting that way?
Copy !req
755. Beating and chasing people
who weren't doing anything.
Copy !req
756. I don't know either. We
just don't know why.
Copy !req
757. Oh god, look at the time.
Copy !req
758. Hey! Let's go Seoul.
Copy !req
759. Yeah, okay. Let's go back to Seoul.
Copy !req
760. Okay, okay.
Copy !req
761. Then, what about you? We're going to Seoul.
Copy !req
762. Yes, of course. Then let me off up there.
Copy !req
763. - Okay.
- Thanks.
Copy !req
764. Please promise me.
Copy !req
765. You have to show our news.
Copy !req
766. Once this footage airs,
the entire world will be watching.
Copy !req
767. You are not alone.
Copy !req
768. Thank you so much.
Copy !req
769. Sir, have a safe trip back.
Copy !req
770. Wait, kid!
Copy !req
771. What's your name?
Copy !req
772. Jae-sik. Gu Jae-sik.
Copy !req
773. Gu Jae-sik... Practice hard, okay?
Copy !req
774. I'll watch your song contest on TV.
Copy !req
775. Okay.
Copy !req
776. Have a safe trip.
Copy !req
777. Come on, not again.
Copy !req
778. Did it break down?
Copy !req
779. What happened?
Copy !req
780. Isn't that...?
Copy !req
781. I told you it was him! The Seoul driver.
Copy !req
782. You were right.
Copy !req
783. Car's broken?
Copy !req
784. That's bad.
Copy !req
785. Man, the repair shop's closed.
Copy !req
786. - Sure is.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
787. I'm sure they'll fix it soon.
Copy !req
788. Wow!
Copy !req
789. Is this your daughter?
Copy !req
790. Whoa, she's so cute!
Copy !req
791. You've got hidden talents!
And your wife is pretty too.
Copy !req
792. What a relief she took after
her mother instead of...
Copy !req
793. His daughter, huh? Pretty, isn't it?
Copy !req
794. Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...
Copy !req
795. No touch!
Copy !req
796. You ready?
Copy !req
797. - Yeah, just a sec.
- Okay.
Copy !req
798. Ready. Try starting it!
Copy !req
799. Give it a go.
Copy !req
800. This car already ran over 600,000 km!
Copy !req
801. How'd you drive all the way here?
Copy !req
802. - The transmission is too old.
- Need to change the starter?
Copy !req
803. That's a bummer.
Copy !req
804. I heard the repair shop's all out of parts.
Copy !req
805. What about parts from another car?
He can have mine.
Copy !req
806. I changed my starter recently,
so better switch with mine.
Copy !req
807. Then, leave it here for now.
Copy !req
808. I'll find a way to make
it run a short distance.
Copy !req
809. How long will it take?
Copy !req
810. I need to be in Seoul before the curfew.
Copy !req
811. - It'll take at least 2 hours.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
812. Better leave for Seoul tomorrow.
Copy !req
813. Curfew here is 9 o'clock.
Copy !req
814. You don't want to be out past curfew.
Copy !req
815. - Is there a phone somewhere?
- What for?
Copy !req
816. Those bastards have cut
all the phone lines.
Copy !req
817. What?
Copy !req
818. Isn't there any way? I need to call home.
Copy !req
819. What're you so worried about?
Copy !req
820. If a man's out working, he
can stay out a night or two.
Copy !req
821. My daughter's home alone.
And she's only 11.
Copy !req
822. Then where's her mom?
Copy !req
823. What?
Copy !req
824. Oh, that poor thing.
Copy !req
825. Too young to be alone...
Copy !req
826. Oh my.
Copy !req
827. Mr. Kim, if it's about money,
let me pay for the repairs.
Copy !req
828. You bastard, did I ask you for money?
Copy !req
829. You knew everything, right?
Copy !req
830. Danger, you knew it!
Copy !req
831. Why are you yelling at me?
Copy !req
832. It's not my fault your car broke down.
Copy !req
833. And you knew exactly that
it would be dangerous here!
Copy !req
834. What's this prick saying?
Copy !req
835. Mister, calm down! He
says you knew the danger.
Copy !req
836. Bullshit! Like hell I did!
Copy !req
837. And why do you keep taking
this foreigner's side, huh?
Copy !req
838. What?
Copy !req
839. Just take the money.
Copy !req
840. Take the money. Take the money, here.
Copy !req
841. Get that away from me!
Copy !req
842. Get it away!
Copy !req
843. Oh my.
Copy !req
844. Just stop it!
Copy !req
845. Just calm down, stop it!
Copy !req
846. My, oh my...
Copy !req
847. His young daughter at home alone.
Copy !req
848. But he can't go back to Seoul.
He cannot call.
Copy !req
849. Jürgen Hinzpeter, Asia Correspondent
for Germany's public broadcaster.
Copy !req
850. He came in from Japan.
Copy !req
851. What are those assholes
in the security service doing?
Copy !req
852. He entered without registering as
a reporter, so they missed him.
Copy !req
853. He declared himself a missionary.
Copy !req
854. He seems to have planned the whole thing.
Copy !req
855. He's using a Seoul taxi,
so we'll find him soon.
Copy !req
856. So that's where you live...
the corner house?
Copy !req
857. Yes, next to it.
Copy !req
858. We're almost here.
Copy !req
859. Come on, hurry.
Copy !req
860. Honey? I'm home!
Copy !req
861. Dad!
Copy !req
862. Goodness, why are you back so late?
Copy !req
863. There was a lot going on.
Copy !req
864. Did you stay up waiting for Daddy?
Copy !req
865. Who are they?
Copy !req
866. It's a long story. Can you make us dinner?
Copy !req
867. - Yes, but not much to eat.
- Fine with just kimchi.
Copy !req
868. Come on, let's go in. Please...
Copy !req
869. It's okay if we have kimchi...
Copy !req
870. Get in!
Copy !req
871. Oh, my!
Copy !req
872. Is this all we've got for
such important guests?
Copy !req
873. Don't worry. Your neighbor will
look after your daughter.
Copy !req
874. You can call her on the
way tomorrow morning.
Copy !req
875. Yes.
Copy !req
876. Dad, I'm hungry.
Copy !req
877. Oh, go ahead and eat. You're hungry?
Copy !req
878. Try this first. My wife made it.
Copy !req
879. It's crisp, slightly bitter,
but with a real kick...
Copy !req
880. Not sure if it's your
style, but please try.
Copy !req
881. Give it a try.
Copy !req
882. That's hot!
Copy !req
883. This is spicy, hot.
Copy !req
884. Oh, not a problem. I can handle spicy.
Copy !req
885. Wow, he eats well.
Copy !req
886. Oh my god. This is a shock.
Copy !req
887. Wasser!
Copy !req
888. - What?
- Water!
Copy !req
889. Too spicy for him!
Copy !req
890. Hot!
Copy !req
891. No wonder. He ate it too easy.
Copy !req
892. What are you laughing for?
Copy !req
893. You come to a foreign country,
break a camera, eat kimchi.
Copy !req
894. You've been through a lot, too.
Copy !req
895. Why'd you come here?
Copy !req
896. Why you come here?
Copy !req
897. Reporter.
Copy !req
898. Was that English?
Copy !req
899. Seoul drivers speak English?
Copy !req
900. I'm a reporter.
Copy !req
901. Reporters go wherever there is news.
Copy !req
902. Then try translating what he just said.
Copy !req
903. I'm a reporter here for the
news something like that...
Copy !req
904. Is that right?
Copy !req
905. Yes.
Copy !req
906. You're amazing. I never would've guessed!
Copy !req
907. Ah...
Copy !req
908. Why you become a reporter?
Copy !req
909. What's that, a poker card?
I used to play, too...
Copy !req
910. Not that, money. He means money.
Copy !req
911. He means he did it because of the money?
Copy !req
912. Yes.
Copy !req
913. Where do you spend your money?
Copy !req
914. A hole in your sock.
Copy !req
915. He acts like such a big shot,
but I guess he's not.
Copy !req
916. How can you be worse off
than a widower like me?
Copy !req
917. Martial Law Soldiers
Massacre Civilians in Gwang-ju
Copy !req
918. Now that's a real newspaper!
Copy !req
919. There's no turning back after this.
So if anyone...
Copy !req
920. Are you the only reporter here?
Copy !req
921. We've all made up our minds.
Copy !req
922. Open the door!
Copy !req
923. Are you trying to close us down?
Copy !req
924. But Chief! We're reporters, aren't we?
Copy !req
925. Shouldn't we at least
try to tell the people
Copy !req
926. what's happening here and why?
Copy !req
927. What will happen then?
Copy !req
928. They will shut us down,
and drag us all off!
Copy !req
929. Come on, get them out!
Copy !req
930. Let go! Chief! Chief!
Copy !req
931. Will this stop bullets?
Copy !req
932. Of course not. It's to cover the lights.
Copy !req
933. Right.
Copy !req
934. It's time for evening news.
Copy !req
935. Why bother watching useless crap?
Copy !req
936. Who knows, maybe they'll
say something today.
Copy !req
937. I doubt it...
Copy !req
938. - The disturbance in Gwang-ju...
- It's on.
Copy !req
939. is not yet contained...
Copy !req
940. - Have some fruit.
- Hey, quiet!
Copy !req
941. with student radicals and
gangsters gathering in Gwang-ju
Copy !req
942. and spreading groundless rumors.
Copy !req
943. To date, 1 civilian has been killed,
and 5 members of the military...
Copy !req
944. Those fuckers!
Copy !req
945. Honey!
Copy !req
946. How can they say that?
So many people died today!
Copy !req
947. Is the news just allowed to lie like that?
Copy !req
948. Why did we have to watch that crap?
Copy !req
949. God that sets me off!
Copy !req
950. That's not true.
Copy !req
951. As soon as I get back to Japan,
my footage will hit the news.
Copy !req
952. The whole world will see.
Copy !req
953. Mr. Kim will take me back
to the airport, and...
Copy !req
954. Anyhow without him, I would
have never made it to Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
955. He can broadcast it when he gets
to Japan, with Mr. Kim's help.
Copy !req
956. And Mr. Kim also helped him get pass
the soldiers blocking the roads.
Copy !req
957. You're amazing. Both of you.
Copy !req
958. Well, a driver has to go
where the customer says.
Copy !req
959. Don't worry, don't worry.
Copy !req
960. I'll take you right to
the airport tomorrow.
Copy !req
961. Airport, okay?
Copy !req
962. By the sound of it, I should
plead to both of you...
Copy !req
963. Please make this work.
Copy !req
964. I'd beg you on my knees, really!
Copy !req
965. No, I'm really good at that.
Copy !req
966. On my knees!
Copy !req
967. Forget that.
Copy !req
968. Sing us a song instead.
He's entering a song contest.
Copy !req
969. We'll judge if you deserve
a prize, so sing!
Copy !req
970. - Oh, no way!
- Please.
Copy !req
971. I do guitar, not vocals.
Copy !req
972. What's the difference?
Copy !req
973. Give him a hand!
Copy !req
974. What should I do?
Copy !req
975. Wow, looking good!
Copy !req
976. What? Why ring the gong?
Copy !req
977. Students may protest against
you, to stop you from singing.
Copy !req
978. I told you, I play guitar!
But I'm not that bad!
Copy !req
979. I shouldn't have asked him to sing.
Copy !req
980. Is that a new song?
Copy !req
981. I guess I'm no good.
Copy !req
982. You're really not a singer.
Copy !req
983. But there's something striking about him.
Copy !req
984. See, I told you!
Copy !req
985. Oh, my. He looks just like your brother.
Copy !req
986. - That's right!
- Yes, they're similar!
Copy !req
987. - You mean Sang-chul?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
988. Who?
Copy !req
989. Right, why didn't I see it before?
Copy !req
990. I have a younger brother.
Copy !req
991. You look just like him.
Copy !req
992. What do you think? Same-same?
Copy !req
993. - What do you mean?
- He looks like my husband.
Copy !req
994. Same, same.
Copy !req
995. I look like Peter, right?
Copy !req
996. Oh no!
Copy !req
997. What's that?
Copy !req
998. What's this sound?
Copy !req
999. That's by the TV station.
Copy !req
1000. Yeah, I think so.
Copy !req
1001. Bro! People are gathering
over by the TV station!
Copy !req
1002. The taxi drivers are all
heading there, too.
Copy !req
1003. - Really?
- I'll see you there.
Copy !req
1004. Night of May 20, 1980
Near Gwang-ju MBC TV Station
Copy !req
1005. The foreign reporter! Get the radio!
Copy !req
1006. Jae-sik!
Copy !req
1007. Mister, look out!
Copy !req
1008. They're plainclothes soldiers!
Copy !req
1009. What? Plainclothes?
Copy !req
1010. Damned commies!
Copy !req
1011. Go hide up there. I'll bring it up.
Copy !req
1012. Hurry!
Copy !req
1013. Where is he?
Copy !req
1014. He didn't come this way.
Copy !req
1015. Hello!
Copy !req
1016. I know you're up there.
Copy !req
1017. Mister.
Copy !req
1018. If you give me the camera and film,
Copy !req
1019. you two,
Copy !req
1020. no...
Copy !req
1021. the three of you including this kid...
Copy !req
1022. can go free.
Copy !req
1023. What is he saying?
Copy !req
1024. I'll count to ten.
Copy !req
1025. And I'll let you decide
Copy !req
1026. what the wise choice is.
Copy !req
1027. He wants this.
Copy !req
1028. Then we can live, and Jae-sik too.
Copy !req
1029. Give safe.
Copy !req
1030. Let's give it to him.
Copy !req
1031. One,
Copy !req
1032. two,
Copy !req
1033. three,
Copy !req
1034. four,
Copy !req
1035. five,
Copy !req
1036. - What are you doing?
- six,
Copy !req
1037. seven,
Copy !req
1038. eight,
Copy !req
1039. nine...
Copy !req
1040. Wait a minute!
Copy !req
1041. The foreign reporter might be close by.
Copy !req
1042. Let me speak in English to him.
Copy !req
1043. I'll beg him to save me.
Copy !req
1044. Can you hear me?
Copy !req
1045. I can't hold this soldier much longer.
Copy !req
1046. So please,
Copy !req
1047. go now and show the world
what's happening in here.
Copy !req
1048. - Where are you going?
- So please...
Copy !req
1049. We need to give him this.
Copy !req
1050. They're coming up!
Copy !req
1051. Hey!
Copy !req
1052. Damn!
Copy !req
1053. Give me the bag!
Copy !req
1054. Get away!
Copy !req
1055. I'm okay!
Copy !req
1056. Over there!
Copy !req
1057. Get him!
Copy !req
1058. There!
Copy !req
1059. Where's the damn reporter?
Copy !req
1060. Where are you running, commie?
Copy !req
1061. Spare me, I'm not a commie!
Copy !req
1062. You prick! Damn commie!
Copy !req
1063. I'm really not a commie!
Copy !req
1064. I'm not even from Gwang-ju. I'm from Seoul.
Copy !req
1065. Yeah.
Copy !req
1066. I know.
Copy !req
1067. The Seoul taxi.
Copy !req
1068. You're that commie who brought
in the German reporter.
Copy !req
1069. The shit bastard who sold
his country for money!
Copy !req
1070. And yet you say, "I'm not a commie!"
Copy !req
1071. "I'm not a commie!"
Copy !req
1072. "I'm not a commie!"
Copy !req
1073. "I'm not a commie!"
Copy !req
1074. How dare you...
Copy !req
1075. We have to get out of here.
Copy !req
1076. My god, I was so worried!
Copy !req
1077. I'm glad you made it back.
But where's Jae-sik?
Copy !req
1078. Wasn't he with you?
Copy !req
1079. Huh?
Copy !req
1080. You know...
Copy !req
1081. I earned some money in Saudi Arabia.
Copy !req
1082. But my wife got sick and I spent
it all on hospital bills.
Copy !req
1083. At the end, my wife insisted
that I buy that taxi.
Copy !req
1084. And the doctor said so too,
Copy !req
1085. so I should look after our daughter.
Copy !req
1086. We could have tried more meds,
Copy !req
1087. but I didn't argue. That's
the kind of guy I am.
Copy !req
1088. The rest have to go on living, right?
Copy !req
1089. Because after my wife died,
I got drunk every day.
Copy !req
1090. One day I woke up,
Copy !req
1091. she was crying holding onto
her mom's old clothes.
Copy !req
1092. She must have missed her so much.
Copy !req
1093. I quit drinking that day.
Copy !req
1094. I'm the only one she has left.
Copy !req
1095. What are you doing?
Copy !req
1096. The paratroopers are
searching for a Seoul taxi!
Copy !req
1097. Should've said you're going.
You don't even know the roads!
Copy !req
1098. Here, take this and...
Copy !req
1099. These are hidden roads out of Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
1100. And the reporter asked me to give you this.
Copy !req
1101. How can I accept that?
Copy !req
1102. What?
Copy !req
1103. If a driver took a passenger,
he should accept the fare!
Copy !req
1104. Just take it.
Copy !req
1105. I can't take that money.
Copy !req
1106. Just the repairs will cost you a lot.
Copy !req
1107. Don't argue. Just take it!
Copy !req
1108. On your way, now.
Copy !req
1109. Your daughter must have
waited all night. Hurry.
Copy !req
1110. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Copy !req
1111. Why are you sorry?
Copy !req
1112. Bastards out there should be.
Copy !req
1113. It's damn fine weather.
Copy !req
1114. Come visit with your daughter someday.
Copy !req
1115. We'll take my son and go on a picnic.
Copy !req
1116. Take care of yourself.
Copy !req
1117. You take care.
Copy !req
1118. It'll take an hour to fix it.
Copy !req
1119. Don't stay cramped in here.
Copy !req
1120. There's a Buddha's day celebration
or something like that over there.
Copy !req
1121. Go take a walk around.
Copy !req
1122. Can I use the phone?
Copy !req
1123. Hello?
Copy !req
1124. Dong-su, is my daughter there?
Copy !req
1125. Where have you been?
Copy !req
1126. Is she with you?
Copy !req
1127. She just fell asleep. Wake her up?
Copy !req
1128. No, let her sleep.
Copy !req
1129. Is she okay?
Copy !req
1130. If you're so worried, why did you stay out?
Copy !req
1131. Did you really get that money?
Copy !req
1132. Give me the phone.
Copy !req
1133. Mr. Kim! Where are you?
Copy !req
1134. I'm...
Copy !req
1135. I'm in the countryside
and my car broke down.
Copy !req
1136. I left 2,000 won in my drawer.
Please give it to Eunjung...
Copy !req
1137. She's been up all night waiting,
so why make promises!
Copy !req
1138. Hey, give me the phone!
Copy !req
1139. You'll be back soon? Let's talk then.
Stop it!
Copy !req
1140. Hello!
Copy !req
1141. How old is your daughter?
Copy !req
1142. Eleven.
Copy !req
1143. Then how about these?
Copy !req
1144. These are sturdy and nice. Moms love them.
Copy !req
1145. They're really popular!
Copy !req
1146. If she's 11, she'll need size 200...
Copy !req
1147. Give me size 210.
Copy !req
1148. Size 200 is getting small for her.
Copy !req
1149. What a thoughtful father.
You know her shoe size!
Copy !req
1150. Those are a bit expensive...
Copy !req
1151. A bowl of noodles, please.
Copy !req
1152. Huh? I thought you went bill collecting?
Copy !req
1153. Ended up wasting my time.
Copy !req
1154. Ma'am, another bottle of soju!
Copy !req
1155. Sure.
Copy !req
1156. What, people wouldn't pay?
Copy !req
1157. I couldn't even get into Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
1158. I heard people were killed
in Gwang-ju, I guess it's true!
Copy !req
1159. People were killed?
Copy !req
1160. Yeah, soldiers raided the city,
and all hell broke loose.
Copy !req
1161. What are you talking about?
Copy !req
1162. I don't know for sure,
Copy !req
1163. but I heard many people were killed,
and a whole bunch arrested.
Copy !req
1164. That's not it.
Copy !req
1165. A few innocent soldiers were killed in
violent college student protests.
Copy !req
1166. No, someone really saw
people getting killed there.
Copy !req
1167. It was in the news.
Copy !req
1168. Not just students, but hardcore Communists.
Copy !req
1169. They even brought gangsters from Seoul!
Copy !req
1170. Really? It was in the news?
Copy !req
1171. Yeah!
Copy !req
1172. It's in the newspaper
too, a full-page story.
Copy !req
1173. If they want to protest,
why not just do it in Seoul?
Copy !req
1174. Protests in Gwang-ju
Keeping me from doing my job.
Copy !req
1175. Rogue Groups and Rioters...
Copy !req
1176. You must've been really hungry.
Have this, too.
Copy !req
1177. It's delicious... Delicious.
Copy !req
1178. Taxi, taxi!
Copy !req
1179. So pretty.
Copy !req
1180. Always bought her sneakers,
never a nice pair of shoes...
Copy !req
1181. Eun-jung will love these.
Copy !req
1182. Eun-jung, what should I do?
Copy !req
1183. What do I do?
Copy !req
1184. One more phone call, please.
Copy !req
1185. Eun-jung, are you awake?
Copy !req
1186. Daddy, are we going on a picnic?
Copy !req
1187. Sorry, there's something I need to do.
Copy !req
1188. Let's go another time.
Copy !req
1189. When?
Copy !req
1190. I left a customer behind.
Copy !req
1191. Someone who really needs to take my taxi.
Copy !req
1192. I'll come home right after.
Copy !req
1193. So, be nice and don't fight with Sang-go.
Copy !req
1194. Until Mt. Baekdu is worn away
and the East Sea's waters run dry,
Copy !req
1195. God protect and preserve our country.
Copy !req
1196. Where has he gone?
Copy !req
1197. To the hospital.
Copy !req
1198. The hospital?
Copy !req
1199. Why are you back?
Copy !req
1200. The paratroopers dragged him off,
Copy !req
1201. and he died on the way.
Copy !req
1202. So they just threw him in a rice field.
Copy !req
1203. There aren't enough coffins in Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
1204. So some students went to get more...
Copy !req
1205. Why are you sitting there?
Copy !req
1206. You need to record all this.
Copy !req
1207. You promised, to tell people.
Copy !req
1208. It needs to be broadcast
so people will know.
Copy !req
1209. You're a reporter, shoot this.
Copy !req
1210. Jae-sik, and this too.
Copy !req
1211. Here.
Copy !req
1212. Open your eyes!
Copy !req
1213. How can you leave me
Copy !req
1214. and our unborn baby!
Copy !req
1215. Make way!
Copy !req
1216. Over here, Doctor! Please help over here.
Copy !req
1217. He's been shot.
Copy !req
1218. Bro, what do we do?
Copy !req
1219. They're really trying to wipe us all out!
Copy !req
1220. People were singing the national anthem,
Copy !req
1221. when the paratroopers
just started shooting.
Copy !req
1222. God, so many people have been shot!
Copy !req
1223. We need to get there.
Copy !req
1224. You two go to Seoul, quickly.
Copy !req
1225. I'm coming with you!
Copy !req
1226. Mr. Kim, you go back to Seoul.
I need to keep filming.
Copy !req
1227. Hey, hey.
Copy !req
1228. You paid me the fare.
Copy !req
1229. We go together.
Copy !req
1230. I taxi driver,
Copy !req
1231. you taxi customer.
Copy !req
1232. Okay?
Copy !req
1233. Okay! Together.
Copy !req
1234. Dear citizens of Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
1235. One, stay at home.
Two, don't believe rumors.
Copy !req
1236. He needs hospital, now!
Copy !req
1237. Get ahold of yourself!
Copy !req
1238. Why are they shooting us?
Copy !req
1239. Don't go out.
Copy !req
1240. My god, look at that.
Copy !req
1241. What's going on here?
Copy !req
1242. Over there! She's shot!
Copy !req
1243. Get a hold of yourself!
Copy !req
1244. How can they just shoot people?
Copy !req
1245. How can they do this to us?
Copy !req
1246. How many times has it been?
Copy !req
1247. They really plan to kill us all!
Copy !req
1248. We can't leave injured people like that!
Copy !req
1249. That's it. Let's drive our taxis in.
Copy !req
1250. Wait...
Copy !req
1251. Here.
Copy !req
1252. I can drive well. Let's go together.
Copy !req
1253. Look! The taxi drivers!
Copy !req
1254. Thank you.
Copy !req
1255. Young-pyo!
Copy !req
1256. - Young-pyo!
- Are you okay?
Copy !req
1257. Hey, duck down.
Copy !req
1258. Let's help them!
Copy !req
1259. Let's save the wounded! Come on!
Copy !req
1260. - Don't lose focus.
- Come here.
Copy !req
1261. Are you okay?
Copy !req
1262. Please help me!
Copy !req
1263. Bro, get in here!
Copy !req
1264. Gently!
Copy !req
1265. Here, over here!
Copy !req
1266. Hold on a sec.
Copy !req
1267. You need to go now.
Copy !req
1268. They're getting closer.
Copy !req
1269. You have to go now.
Or it will be impossible.
Copy !req
1270. Let us take care of this.
Copy !req
1271. Go back, and please,
prove all their lies wrong!
Copy !req
1272. We cannot do it, but you can.
Please, for us.
Copy !req
1273. Go quickly! Things are getting bad here.
Copy !req
1274. Mr. Kim, we must go now.
Copy !req
1275. Block all checkpoints.
Copy !req
1276. Can you get us out?
Copy !req
1277. Don't worry.
Copy !req
1278. I'll get you to the airport no matter what.
Copy !req
1279. Good afternoon.
Copy !req
1280. Where are you going?
Copy !req
1281. I'm taking a customer to Seoul.
Copy !req
1282. Is it a Seoul taxi?
Copy !req
1283. No, a Gwang-ju taxi.
Copy !req
1284. Where's your home?
Copy !req
1285. Why?
Copy !req
1286. Answer, you bastard!
Copy !req
1287. And why don't you have a Gwang-ju accent?
Copy !req
1288. I moved here not long ago.
Copy !req
1289. What's going on? Why are you stopping us?
Copy !req
1290. Hey, college boy! What's
this bastard saying?
Copy !req
1291. Where are you going?
Copy !req
1292. I'm here on business.
Copy !req
1293. But it's so dangerous in Gwang-ju,
you know all these riots?
Copy !req
1294. So we go back to Seoul.
Copy !req
1295. He came on business but
leaving to escape the riots.
Copy !req
1296. Both of you, out of the car.
Copy !req
1297. I don't understand. What's the problem?
Copy !req
1298. Get out now.
Copy !req
1299. Being a foreigner won't save you. Get out.
Copy !req
1300. Open the trunk.
Copy !req
1301. These are his souvenirs.
Copy !req
1302. From Buddha's Birthday.
Copy !req
1303. Let them through.
Copy !req
1304. Sergeant, we have to stop all foreigners.
Copy !req
1305. He's not a reporter, and
it's not a Seoul taxi.
Copy !req
1306. Let them through.
Copy !req
1307. I said, let them through.
Copy !req
1308. Yes, sir.
Copy !req
1309. They said to stop taxis with foreigners!
Copy !req
1310. Hey, close it!
Copy !req
1311. A-34, A-34. Car with foreigner on the run.
Copy !req
1312. Plate number 0310.
Copy !req
1313. A-34, A-34. Car with foreigner on the run.
Copy !req
1314. Plate number 0310.
Copy !req
1315. This is awesome.
Copy !req
1316. Run them over.
Copy !req
1317. Bastards!
Copy !req
1318. Shoot them all!
Copy !req
1319. Damn it!
Copy !req
1320. Bro, go faster!
Copy !req
1321. Don't worry about me!
Copy !req
1322. Come on bastards, let's go at it!
Copy !req
1323. What's going on back there?
Copy !req
1324. I'm sorry...
Copy !req
1325. Take care of yourself!
Copy !req
1326. Don't worry about us!
Copy !req
1327. Step on it.
Copy !req
1328. Step on it!
Copy !req
1329. Yes, we're searching everywhere.
Don't worry, sir.
Copy !req
1330. He called the airport just now
and reserved a flight.
Copy !req
1331. Commander, we found him!
Copy !req
1332. He booked the 10am plane to Japan tomorrow.
Copy !req
1333. Yes, sir!
Copy !req
1334. Hi.
Copy !req
1335. Mr. Hinzpeter?
Copy !req
1336. Yes.
Copy !req
1337. Our system shows that you have a flight
booked for tomorrow at 10am?
Copy !req
1338. Yes, but I'm somehow here today,
Copy !req
1339. so I'd like to get onto the first flight
out to Japan and make it first class.
Copy !req
1340. For your daughter.
Copy !req
1341. This is for me?
Copy !req
1342. Thank you.
Copy !req
1343. Please give me your phone number.
Copy !req
1344. What?
Copy !req
1345. Your taxi. I'd like to
pay for all the damage.
Copy !req
1346. I'll get the news broadcast,
then come right back to Korea.
Copy !req
1347. I'll call you when I return.
Copy !req
1348. Ah, I forgot to buy cigarettes.
Copy !req
1349. Please.
Copy !req
1350. Sa-Bok Cigarettes
Copy !req
1351. Here you are.
Copy !req
1352. Hey, stop that!
Copy !req
1353. You're a good man.
Copy !req
1354. You did a good job.
Copy !req
1355. You... you good job too.
Copy !req
1356. Learn Korean, before you come next time.
Copy !req
1357. Come back, speak Korean, okay?
Copy !req
1358. Okay.
Copy !req
1359. Go on.
Copy !req
1360. The curfew starts soon.
Copy !req
1361. Did your dad run off? Cause he's so poor?
Copy !req
1362. Sang-go! Stop bothering your friend!
Copy !req
1363. But she hit me first!
Copy !req
1364. How'd you end up that way?
Copy !req
1365. Eun-jung, come have some fruit. Get in!
Copy !req
1366. Daddy!
Copy !req
1367. Eun-jung.
Copy !req
1368. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
1369. You waited so long...
Copy !req
1370. Daddy, why are you crying?
Copy !req
1371. Daddy...
Copy !req
1372. There's still no end in sight
to the democratic uprising
Copy !req
1373. in the Korean city of Gwang-ju.
Copy !req
1374. From looking at the wounded,
Copy !req
1375. we can witness the violence done
to protesters in the last two days.
Copy !req
1376. The army has blockaded the city
and cut off all telephone and telex.
Copy !req
1377. According to military
sources, as of Wednesday,
Copy !req
1378. there have been 9 deaths and
about 60 people were injured.
Copy !req
1379. However, students and protesters
mention much higher figures,
Copy !req
1380. Are you sure you searched everywhere?
Copy !req
1381. Yes, but there's no taxi
driver with this name.
Copy !req
1382. Kim Sa-bok
Copy !req
1383. So even the number is wrong.
Copy !req
1384. Kim Sa-bok may not be his real name.
Copy !req
1385. It might be better not to look for him.
Copy !req
1386. Dec-03
Copy !req
1387. It is a great honor for me to
receive this award here in Korea.
Copy !req
1388. I still remember the faces of
the citizens I met in Gwang-ju,
Copy !req
1389. that spring of 1980.
Copy !req
1390. And I will never forget.
Copy !req
1391. But there is one face
in particular that I miss dearly.
Copy !req
1392. My brave friend, Kim Sa-bok.
Copy !req
1393. He is a taxi driver.
Copy !req
1394. Hey.
Copy !req
1395. Hey, young man!
Copy !req
1396. Sorry, sir. I only have 10,000 won.
Copy !req
1397. That's fine. Go on.
Copy !req
1398. Thank you!
Copy !req
1399. Watch your step.
Copy !req
1400. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
1401. Without him, news of the Gwang-ju Uprising
Copy !req
1402. would have never reached the world.
Copy !req
1403. Oh my.
Copy !req
1404. I'm afraid my words fail
to express my gratitude,
Copy !req
1405. but you're always in my thoughts.
Copy !req
1406. Mr. Kim, my dear friend.
Copy !req
1407. Thank you.
Copy !req
1408. I've missed you.
Copy !req
1409. I'll keep waiting.
Copy !req
1410. I hope to see you again soon.
Copy !req
1411. He said if not for Kim Sa-bok's help
he could never have made the report,
Copy !req
1412. and he wishes to see him again.
Copy !req
1413. I'm more grateful to you.
Copy !req
1414. Thank you, thank you.
Copy !req
1415. I wanted to see you again, too.
Copy !req
1416. At least I see you like this.
Copy !req
1417. You've grown old too.
Copy !req
1418. Hello, where to?
Copy !req
1419. To Gwanghwamun, please.
Copy !req
1420. Gwanghwamun, okay.
Copy !req
1421. It would be truly wonderful
if I could meet you again.
Copy !req
1422. Oh... really, I'd be happy beyond words.
Copy !req
1423. If I could find you through this footage,
Copy !req
1424. and then meet you once again,
Copy !req
1425. I would just be so happy.
Copy !req
1426. I'd rush over to Seoul in an instant,
Copy !req
1427. ride with you in your taxi,
and see the new Korea.
Copy !req
