Jiseul (지슬 - 끝나지 않은 세월2)

Give me the knife.

November 1948: American troops along with newly formed Korean troops declare martial law on Jeju island.

They also declared that they would kill anyone not living within a 5 km distance from the shore.

This was the start of the so-called 'scorched earth' military operations.

Make some room for me.

Move more.

Get out of here.

Where did you get that gun?

I went down to the other village and almost got killed.

While I was escaping I stole the gun.

Do you know how to shoot it?

I was drafted into the army...

...so, of course I know how to shoot!

Make some room for me!

Do you have bullets for the gun?

Actually, I don't have that many bullets.

Hand-over that gun.

Let me touch it once.

No.

What do you mean, "no"?

Hand it over!

What if something bad happens when you touch it?

What the...

When the Japanese took over Korea...

...I handled a gun.

So hand it over!

That was the Japanese occupation. Now it's an American occupation!

This gun is much better than Japanese guns.

Don't you know that the Americans got the Japanese to surrender?

Why would you be proud of being so close to the Japanese in the past?

Stop daydreaming! Get serious.

Scoot over more.

Just you know that the reason you are living...

...is because you are older than me.

Many people died because of you, don't you know?

Don't bring that up.

Make way... make way...

Move aside quickly!

Why is everyone coming to this small hole?

What are you doing here?

Scoot that way!

I can't move.

It's too crowded now.

Isn't that a gun?

This gun is apparently...

...called 'American occupation'.

Such nonsense.

What the hell is going on anyways?

While I was escaping...

...I found a notice on a wall. Here it is.

Excuse me.

Scoot over!

I can't move.

Just your leg.

Here's what I brought. Let's read it.

You read it.

You can't read?

Eviction order?

What's that?

Anyone outside a 5km radius from the shore...

They are saying that anyone living more...

...than 5km from the ocean will be killed.

It says we won't be killed if we go down there.

Are they saying this to get us to move closer to shore?

But even the people living along the shore are panicking!

What should we do?

Don't you think we ought to escape to a safer place?

I'll have to bring my mom along.

What the hell is happening?

I hear something.

Where are you, Man-Chul?

Man-Chul?

Be quiet.

Why are you here?

Tell him to go home.

Go home!

You'll be all right even if you go home.

Get away from here! Quickly!

Scoot over more.

Why aren't you going home?

Why did we have to pick such a tight space to hide in.

Remember you told my father...

...about a cave in a nearby mountain that was good to hide in?

Yeah. I think I saw it once in the east.

What the hell!

What are you doing?

Please let me in!

Who do you think you are squeezing your ass into this tight space?

Please let me squeeze in!

Look what you are doing to your elders!

Anyways... how should we find that cave?

I think I know where to find it.

- Really? - How do you know?

I go to that area all the time to catch centipedes.

Get lost, you!

Don't you dare lie to me, boy.

Of course I'm not lying, sir.

Wait a minute.

Do you hear that noise?

I'm not going.

What are you talking about?

If I go I'll be a burden to you.

On top of that... your wife is pregnant.

Why are you talking nonsense?

I'm not repeating it. Get along with packing.

This is not the time to be stubborn, mom!

I'm not going to change my mind. Hurry up and leave!

I can't walk. Are you going to carry me all the way?

What about your wife and kids?

When the Japanese were here they did air raids, too.

And we hid then, too.

But nothing bad happened then.

Don't worry and get going.

Take this with you.

How can you be thinking about potatoes right now?

[Ancestral tablet: a place where you allow the soul to rest.]

Jung-Gil! Joo Jung-Gil!

Jung-Gil!

Moon-Ding! Moon-Ding!

- Moon-Ding! - Yes, sir.

Didn't you hear me calling you?

I was splitting firewood.

Why are you doing that?

The younger ones couldn't do it properly.

Are they all embiciles?

- Listen up. - Yes, sir.

Go and get something for me to wipe with.

Sir?

Before my shit freezes!

Yes, sir.

Here it is, sir.

Oh, Moon-Ding.

Sir?

Come here.

Come closer.

Look over there.

Take care of it.

Yes, sir.

Why are you like this?

Who ordered this?

Get over here, you!

Right away, sir!

Who ordered this?

First sergeant Kim ordered it.

You saying I ordered this?

Yes, you did, sir!

When? When in the world did I order this?

Moon-Ding!

Moon-Ding!

Yes, sir!

Get over here. Get over here right now!

Coming, sir.

Who ordered this?

I asked you once, now answer me!

I did, sir.

Why?

Because he hasn't caught anyone yet.

Well, what about him?

Well, he's a new soldier.

Be good to these kids.

They can catch them next time. Understand?

Yes, sir.

It's cold.

Get some rest.

- Listen! - What?

Isn't his father a policeman?

Yes, he is.

We're doomed if he tells his father then.

- He's stupid, but good at heart. - What does stupid have to do with this?

If he tells his father we're through!

- Sang-Pyo. - Yes?

Come here!

Don't tell your dad about us.

Yes, sir. I won't.

And do something about our footprints, boy.

What should I do?

Just do something!

Wait. Watch your footprint.

Okay, I'll be careful.

I'm afraid this isn't it.

What are you saying? That's bullshit.

I told you it's that way.

No. I was sure that it's this way.

What are you talking about? Your elders are all tired.

I think this way is right, though.

Didn't we come this way before!

But still, I think this way is right.

We've been walking all day.

It's a bit far, you have to understand.

We are almost there. Please be patient!

I don't see a cave. What do you mean almost there?

I'm telling you it's here.

Why are you arguing with your elders when it's clear you led us the wrong way!

But I come up here all the time.

I'm telling you it's here somewhere!

Stop talking nonsense.

But it is here!

Keep your voice down.

Get back in line!

I'm telling you it's here.
