The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

Doctor, was that you?

My dad was murdered, wasn't he? - No.

Your father...

killed himself.

I'm searching for that child.

Do you know what my name is?

Back in the fall of 1993,

I was at Haesan Hospital as well.

I was a first-year intern in their ER.

I was the one who treated his burn.

Is Moo Young...

Sun Ho?

This is making me a little nervous.

What is your name?

Sun Ho.

My name is Kang Sun Ho.

Kang Sun Ho.

Moo Young wants to know about his past.

I'm still alive.

That was supposed to make you laugh.

Were you really trying to kill me?

It doesn't suit you.

You said killing a person makes you a murderer.

A terrible murderer.

That doesn't suit you.

Hello.

He's here. - Is he?

Yes, I'm sure his resignation letter isn't accepted.

That's what I'm hoping.

Do you want another one?

What? Sure.

No, never mind.

I won't be able to have lunch if I eat any more of these.

Right? It makes me feel so full.

So I'll eat two of these and skip lunch.

Should I do that too?

How can you eat that...

when the project with Jang Se Ran isn't going well?

Are you sure you don't want another?

Of course I do.

It's pretty good.

What does the "Seon" in your name mean?

What?

Which Chinese character do you use for "Seon"?

It means kindness. Can't you tell?

That's great.

What are you talking about? It's so common.

Really?

Well, that makes it even better, since that suits you.

What's gotten into you?

Let's say you're dehired.

That way, you can get unemployment benefits.

This is the best I can offer you,

but do you find this unfair in any way?

No.

Thank you for everything.

Did you submit your letter of resignation?

No, I got fired even before I could.

Yes? - You got fired?

Yes, they dehired me.

I was going to quit anyway, so this is fine.

He said they let me get away with as much as they could already.

That's true.

I'm getting out early today. Shall we meet up later?

What time are you getting out?

Sure.

Mount Geumah Mortar.

That's what everyone seems to call that cliff.

Kang Sun Ho.

Let's take a photo.

A photo?

To commemorate this moment.

You really prepared for this. - I know, right?

Come here.

Can I stand here? - Yes.

All right.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3.

1, 2, 3. Victory.

All done.

Do they look nice?

Yes.

They look great.

I'll send them to you too.

What are we commemorating though?

Your unemployment.

What?

You didn't even know that, you idiot?

Obviously, we're commemorating the fact...

that we found out your real name, Kang Sun Ho.

"Sun", meaning "kind" and "Ho", meaning "elevated".

I really like it.

Hey, who said my name uses those Chinese characters?

I don't know for sure yet. Stop making things up.

I'm not sure about "Ho",

but I'm pretty sure it includes "kindness".

I'm sure of it.

Why? I really like it. You don't like it?

Well, no, it's not like that.

It's just that this name still feels so foreign to me.

Names sure are interesting.

"Kim Moo Young"...

sounds a bit lonely,

but "Kang Sun Ho"...

sounds nice and brave.

You like it that much? - Yes.

I like it so much.

I feel like your parents...

were really nice people.

Seeing as how they chose such a name for their son,

they are definitely nice people.

You think so?

Yes.

Did the doctor tell you about anything else beside your name?

Your father killed himself.

Not really.

I feel vicariously satisfied...

as if I'm the one who found my real name.

You can find yours too. Let's look for it together.

Later.

My brother will probably tell me when the time is right.

I'll wait until Jin Gook tells me.

What a shame. I wanted to see the foliage.

But all the leaves have dropped.

Yes, it's kind of spooky.

Still, this place is really nice. It's open and spacious.

I'm glad we took this path.

Yes, it's nice.

My father apparently committed suicide.

Apparently, it was in the mountains,

but I don't know much about it.

I don't know if the doctor is choosing to withhold information,

or if he really doesn't know and can't tell me much else.

At any rate,

it's been established...

that my family...

wasn't too happy of a family.

Your father...

already...

passed away, I see.

I'm planning to go to Haesan.

I want to go...

where my father was.

Where in Haesan is it?

Well, apparently there's a place called...

"Mount Geumah Mortar".

It's a cliff, I think. That's where he did it.

Want me to come with you?

All right.

Go and say hello to him.

Oh, right.

What should I say?

Hi?

I don't even know his name.

What should I say?

"Father."

That's all you need.

"Father, this is Sun Ho."

That will do.

It's here.

You go take the bus first.

Okay. It takes so much effort to date in secret.

We can't even take the same bus together, right?

Why does it make me anxious?

You're just going to say hello.

Why do I feel so anxious?

Don't be.

I'll be back soon.

Is Moo Young Sun Ho?

Yes.

Moo Young is Kang Sun Ho.

You little...

You punk.

You are not even human.

If you were a human...

If you were the least bit like one...

I've just been to your office.

You want this? - You must be mistaken.

You can't become a police officer just because you're smart.

Police officers are for human, not for murderers like you.

He's such a pitiful guy.

He's grown up in a worse situation than me.

He's already gotten hurt enough already.

Why did he kill himself?

I don't know.

Do you think you can stop here if you were me?

I've never stopped anything which I've put my mind to.

What do you think is left more?

A gun.

I still...

dream about my father being murdered.

Everyone tells me to stop...

as if I'll never come back once I go there.

Can I have a bottle of soju? - Okay.

It looks like a screen,

so I don't know why it's called a mortar.

I thought of bowing down, but it was too awkward that I decided not to.

I couldn't say "Father", either.

I'm not sad.

I feel like I'll have a nice dream if I sleep here like this.
