*********Opera House/ Outside
The streets were all blocked by police cars. Sirens are heard everywhere and people were running back and forth. SoongJun was talking with police officers, giving instructions. JiHoon brought some documents and a video tape.
JH: It's fortunate that the tape was able to capture 30 seconds of the incident. If we watch this, we'll be able to recognize the offenders.

********Hospital/ Lobby
SY is waiting there, worried, bruised and covered with blood. His men are also bruised, standing behind. SY went to the operation room...
**Hospital/ Operation Room
YeJu is having surgery. There is the image of a foetus on the monitor, heart beating.
**Hospital/ Outside Operation Room
SY leaned his head on the door...
**Dark Mansion/ Dark Living Room
MS: (Angrily) Son of a Bit!@# t!

*********Hospital/ Doctor's Office
Doc: She's in her 4th month now, and you didn't know?
SY: (Without looking) How's the baby?
Doc: She almost lost the baby. She has to be very careful.

*********Hospital/ YJ's Room
SY: (Looking down) Why didn't you tell me? Shouldn't you have told me something? It's my child. I have the right to know.
YJ: (Looked away) Didn't have the courage.
SY: Courage for what? You are afraid to have a gangster's child?
HJ: This is your life. No one knows when you'll go through this again. You have to carry bodyguards everywhere and you can't trust anyone. Are you asking me to give that kind of life to my child? Maybe it would have been better had I miscarried.
SY left the room, moody. YJ contained her tears.

********Hospital/ Basement Parking Lot
SY was standing, taking his bandage off his arms. Sado brought in his car and SY got in.
SY: Did you find out?
Sado: Yes Sir.
SY: Where is he?
Sado: At JoGuang Hotel's Sauna room. But is it OK that you go by yourself?
SY: Shut up and just go!

********JoGuang's Hotel/ Hallway
It's deserted and quiet except for the guard standing there. Suddenly, there is the noise of fist fights. Sado beat up some people, clearing the way for SY. SY walked into the Sauna room.
**Sauna Room
Boss1 is laying down, eyes closed. He opened his eyes, and saw SY. SY locked the room. Boss got scared.
Boss1: Hey, SangYup... (Stumbling with words.) SY...
SY: (Folded up the arms of his shirt) I could forgive you anything else. But you harmed my wife. You almost killed my child who has never got to see the light, being miscarried before being born!!! (He screamed like a maniac. Boss1 kneeled down, alarmed and shaking.) That, I cannot forgive you.
Boss1: Wait! Please hear me speak. (SY is closing his fist and touching one unto the other.) SangYup, please.
SY: Ahhhh!!!!
Lights off.

********Night Club/ Room
BangKe: (On the phone) What? Is that true? Where is he now? (To himself in lower voice.) I'll go nuts. (Continued on the phone.) Find out where he is, hurry! Page him and call him, hurry up you son of a Bit @# ch! (SY and Sado entered the room.) Forget it. Hang up! (He and his 4 men get in standing position.)
SY lighted up a cigar and sat on the couch.
BK: What happened? Where did you come from?
SY: (Threw the lighter on the table.) Why do you want to know that? Call the boys. Even those down in the country.
BK: Why do you do this?! (SY drank beer) I know how you feel but if you behave like that, things will get difficult. YongDungPyo's men, Juman's band and even YangSon's band are getting together … to come after us.
SY: So they want war? I'll give them war, why should I be afraid?
BK: If you wanted to give them a lesson, you should have sent us. How many are we? But you did it on your own. And that Boss is someone you shouldn't have touched on your own.
SY: They started it!!! (Stood, hit the table and shouted)
BK: Why did they do it? Instead of finding who attacked you first, you gathered all the big bosses together and humiliated them.
SY: (Holding BK's neck.) So what? Are you afraid? Are you afraid to be with me? (To everyone.) If any of you is afraid, just leave. I don't need you.

********Hospital/ Boss1's Room
Boss1 is sleeping, his head all wrapped in bandage. JiHoon walked inside, and looked at him.

********SoongJun's Office
JH: He was really messed up. He was unconscious. I couldn't question him, but there's no mistake that JSY did it. (SJ nodded)

*********Elementary School
YS is playing basketball with kids. The kids are arguing about who has won. YS was laughing. He heard piano music. He stopped laughing. It's "Love Affair." YS walked towards the music. Inside the Music Room, Lydia was playing the piano.
Lydia: (Stood up.) The other day I saw you playing it and I looked for the chords. You like it, don't you?
YS: Yes, there was once someone I liked... (Looked out from the window, recalling …)

*******YS's Flash Back
**Country Road & Valley/ near the Police University. HJ and YS were walking next to each other. As they walked down the road, a bus passed by. HJ tried to move away but YS held her hands and pushed her to his side.
**HJ held a red votive candle to YS's face.
**HJ saw YS walked away. Suddenly, she opened the door and got out. YS stopped walking and turned around. HJ run to YS and slowly lain her head on his shoulders. YS hugged her.

*******Boutique/ Employee's Office
"Love Affair" is heard from the old record disc. InSu stopped the music.
IS: Why this company makes you work so hard?
HaeJun: (Drawing sketches, without looking up.) How were you able to come inside? This is a restricted area.
IS: I'm a reporter. I told them I have an interview with you. (He looked around and sat down.)
HJ: (Continued drawing.) There's coffee in the back. Self-service. And I still have one more hour to go.
IS: I understand. Don't worry about me.
He started looking around for something to read. He saw the corner of a picture from HJ's schedule book. He took it out. It's YS's half-burnt photo. HJ snatched it away.
IS: I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your schedule book. (HJ looked down)
**Boutique/ Elevator
HJ and IS said nothing.
**HJ's Car
HJ was driving. IS was next to her. They said nothing. HJ stopped the car.
HJ: Don't think I lied to you. I'm still trying to forget him. I'll forget him one day.
IS: If you want, I could tell you where he is. I went there before, to return the ring. I think you better meet him. Then you'll let go of him more easily. If you really have the courage to let him go. (He takes out his notepad, scribbles something and gives it to her.)

********Filming Studio
SuHwa was waiting, amidst many people walking back and forth. The manager approached her. She stood up.
Manager: What should we do now? They already cast someone for that role.
SH: Then it's over? I waited 4 hours here!
Man: I'm mad too. He promised me this one for sure. I'm really tired of this business. (A man is walked past) Hey, Mr. director... (The man ignored them)

*******KangSoo's Office
KS: (To SuHwa.) It is as I told you. If I don't take care of you, who would? You'll learn this on your own. I'll wait for you so come to me wherever you need me.

********Streets of Seoul/ Terminal
SH went downstairs the stairs with luggage. She's waiting at a Train Station, hesitating. She bought a ticket.

*********Elementary School/ Outside
YS was painting on a bench, in white. HJ drove through, and parked outside the entrance. She looked at the piece of paper, which have the directions listed. She saw YS from a distance, playing with kids. She reversed her car, and left.
SH was walking down the country road, holding a fruit basket. She stepped aside to let the car go by. She saw the driver - HJ ...

*******Inside a Room
MaeJu and DogN sat up, 90 degrees from the floor, together with other gangsters. MJ and DogN are getting tired, complaining that Boss was taking too long. The door opened and KangSoo entered with BangKe and TalBok. Everyone stood up.
BK: OK everyone. (KS's boys are having hard time standing up straight.) That's OK. From now on, you will have one mind and heart. I don't know when you'll be needed, but that day will come soon. Until then, exercise and make yourself strong.
KS: (To the men standing.) It's impossible to survive here on your own. Even Capone became who he is because he had strong followers behind. Isn't it so, Sir?
BK: Of course!
KS: So we too, must follow BK and be strong. Do you understand?
Everyone but his "2 men", Yes Sir! (And they bowed. MJ and DN responded late)

********Night Club/ Room
BK and TB entered.
JS: Where have you been? (BK and TB bowed) What's your duty? I told you not to be more than 5 metres away from Mr. JSY. Where have you been every time he needed you!
BK: Let me explain.
JS: (To others) The rest of you leave right now! (Walking towards BK after everyone left.) What have you been thinking lately?
BK: Hyung...
JS: I asked you a question. If you lie to me, I'll kill you.
BK: (Kneeled down.) Hyung, I think you suspect something about me but there's nothing going on. You can trust me for that.
JS: Then why are you training your man? Don't give me excuses. Just tell me.
BK: They're not my men. I just gathered people from other gangs to defend us in case... Hyung, if you touch me, I'm dead.
JS: Are you afraid?
BK: If I have to die in your hands, I will. But I want you to know my heart. BK is not a dirty and disloyal betrayer.
JS: Yes, you said it. You shouldn't do that. Bite your lips!
**Outside the Night Club
TB is carrying an unconscious BK on his back.
**Inside the Night Club
JS is thinking.

********Dark Mansion/ MS's Room
MS is drinking water. A girl is nursing him.
MS: JaeSik (JS walked closer) How old are you now?
JS: Older than I could count. I've served you for more than 20 years now.
MS: I've been careless with you. I should be independent by now.
JS: I'll be with you until you pass away.
MS: JaeSik...
JS: Yes, Sir.
MS: What do you think about our mafia? Wouldn't you like to be in charge?
JS: No, Sir. SY is there.
MS: No, he can't do it.
JS: But I can't do it either. Once you're gone, I'll leave the gang.
MS: Leave? Where to?
JS: I want to marry a simple woman and have kids. I want to learn to live right.
MS: If you leave too, what's going to happen to our gang... Tell SangYup to come here tomorrow morning.

********Dark Mansion/ Living Room
MS: You, take your hands off the mafia.
SY: (Surprised) Father...
MS: (To JS) Don't let him be around the Gang. Do it as I tell you! And get yourself ready. There's somewhere you need to go.

*********Hospital/ Boss1's Room
Boss1 is smoking with his face all bandaged. MS and JS walked in.
MS: I heard the cops came today too. What're planning to do? (No answer) We always settled disputes among ourselves. It's a basic rule that we don't get the police involved in this. (Boss1 looked away.) If you want me to beg you, I will.
JS: (Trying to stop MS from bowing) Sir!
MS: (To JS) Get off me.
JS: Boss!
MS: Take your hands off me!!! (JS let go of his hands. To Boss1.) You shouldn't involve the police in this. I have to protect him. He's just an immature brat. If you forgive him this time, I'll make sure he keeps his hands off the mafia entirely. ShinShaeKi Band will end with me. What do you say? (Boss1 looked surprised.) But you have to promise me, yes, you have to give me your word that even after I die, you'll let him live. If you promise me that, I'll keep my end of the deal.

*******Dark Mansion/ Living Room
MS: (To SY) Take you hands off the Gang and go to the country. And don't come back until I call you! Go now!

********Black Car/ Country Highway
SY signalled. Responding, Sado gave SY a cigar. SY put it in his mouth but YJ took it away. SY and YJ held each other's hands.

*******SJ's House/ His Office
HJ walked inside the dark room.
SJ: (Without looking at her.) It's been 5 years since father died. Now it's time for redemption.

*********Countryside/ Near Lake
SY was walking near the lake, holding a stick in his hand. YJ was looking at the waters, inside a stationed boat.
SY: What you're doing? (YJ smiled dreamily, stood up and walked away.)
YJ: Isn't it peaceful here? I've lived with you for 5 years, and I never felt this way before. I always felt I was running away, as if something would suddenly fall on me. I'm OK with having a child here while you farm. Why didn't we think of this before?
SY: Don't think anything stupid. In a couple of months we'll go back to Seoul. There's no way I could live here. Once the problem is solved, father will call me back. We just have to wait.

********Elementary School/ Outside
SY and YS were seated around a table, eating BBQ meat and drinking white liquor.
SY: What the heck! How could you live in a place like this? (YS just continued drinking.) You better slow down. Why are drinking so much?
YS: Isn't it strange? No matter how much I drink, I can't get drunk. Sometimes I wish I were drunk.
SY: Do you think it's our fault you couldn't graduate from the Police University?
YS: That was just a dream. No matter how much I run, I couldn't escape from the fact that I'm a Jang. (Smiling) Did you know when I realized that?
**Military Service
YS's Voice: I was coming back from training...
YS and his companion were walking, dressed as soldiers. They saw their superior and they saluted him respectfully. The superior signalled to the companion to leave, and so he walked away. The superior walked towards YS, looked around to make sure no one was looking, and he bowed 90 degrees to YS. YS didn't understand.
Superior: I got a call from the hyung's in Seoul. Until you leave here, I'll make sure you're comfortable. So call me whenever you need me, Sir.
YS's Voice: That was a sour feeling. Then, I realized then that I couldn't escape my identity.
**Back to Elementary School
SY: (Smiling.) If you feel like that, come back with me to Seoul. If we unite, there's nothing to fear. If you help me, there's no one who could touch me.
YS: I'm thinking of farming here. I already saw a piece of land that I want to purchase. There's got to be at least one in our family who's not a gangster, don't you think?

*********Countryside Highway
Black cars and a Mini Van are speeding down the Highway.
**Elementary School
Phone rang but no one picked up the phone.
**SY's Car
The cell-phone rang but there's no one inside.

********Dark Mansion
JS: They're not picking up.
MS: You go down...! No, call the area police!!!!

*********Countryside/ Near Lake
SY was fishing and playing with YJ.
**Near the Road
YS was walking and saw black cars driven by gangsters. He stopped. He started running.
**Near Lake
Sado was holding a bucket with fishes. SY and YJ ware walking side by side. They were returning the fishes to the water, smiling. Through the reflections in the water, they could tell a mob was approaching them. They stopped smiling.
SY: Sado, take my wife and run. Don't let them touch her or I'll kill you.
Sado: Boss...
SY: Just leave now! (Sado and YJ started to walk away)
YS was running towards them. SY was fighting with about 10 people. YS joined the fight. The 2 brothers are standing back to back, surrounded by mobsters. SY smiled. YS followed. The fight continued from right to left, hitting and getting hit. YS helped SY up. They heard the police car sirens. They looked up. A man was running towards YS...

******SJ's House
SJ: (Picked up the phone while HJ listened) Yes... What? Who got mugged? Jang SangYup and... Jang YoSuk? What the heck! Find out the circumstances. What do you mean, find that out! (HJ looks petrified.) I'll be there, wait for me.

*******HJ's Car
HJ was driving, worried and afraid.

******Country Hospital/ Lobby
YS was waiting there, with blood covering all over him. He stood up and saw Sado.
Sado: We don't know if they'll attack again so Big Boss wanted you to guard the school. Boss is out of the critical condition and he's more stable now.
YS: What about my sister in law?
Sado: (Looking down) She miscarried.

******Elementary School/ Outside
YS was slowly walking when he saw a red car. He stopped. He started looking around... and saw HJ. They both stood far from each other, just looking.
They sat on a bench, far from each other, not looking. HJ started to walk away.
YS: Wait!
HJ: (She stopped walking but she didn't turn to look.) No, now I see you're OK, that's good. That's more than enough. I just came to make sure of that, really. (She slowly walked away.)
YS witnessed her disappeared into the night, wanted to say something but unable to stop her. He just stood there... Suddenly, he started running. He saw YJ walking slowly away. He approached, touched her back and made her turn around. He hugged and caressing her hair. They both closed their eyes.
