A Better Tomorrow Page #2

Hyuk can never shake off the guilt as his family was punished for his treason and his mother died in prison. Three years later, Chul finally makes his way to South Korea and join the police force. Hyuk tries to earn the trust and love of his younger brother, but abandonment and betrayal are hard things to forget. Things come to a head when Young-chun pulls Hyuk into doing one last gig for the gang. It happens to be the case that Officer Chul is in charge of. The three brothers meet again one final time.

What's the matter?

What?

- Meet me at the airport.

- Yes, sir.

Don't you know when to shut up?

What's wrong with them?

Did I say something?

These kids complain

about everything.

Fine, have it your way!

Ungrateful little pricks!

I can't help you.

It's no use coming back.

I did.

But he refuses to see you.

I can't do anything

if he refuses to meet you.

Then could you

at least give him this?

Fine. Give it to me.

Thank you.

Five minutes.

Hyuk.

Come on!

How are you doing?

I really wanted to see you.

I know I don't deserve it but...

Chul!

I don't care what you think of me.

But you're my little brother.

And that will never change.

Look here, Comrade KIM.

Stop talking bullshit,

and get the f*** out.

I'll take whatever

punishment you give me.

I deserve it.

To save my own skin,

I left my own mom and brother.

I'll take whatever you give me.

But don't let us ever be

separated again.

That's the one thing I ask of you.

This is nice!

Not bad, right?

You want me to go?

To Thailand.

I'll go. You stay with Chul...

No, I should go.

Young-chun, there's something...

How long has it been?

Ten years?

I know we're partners and all,

but 10 years?

From the North to Thailand,

then to Busan.

It's an awful long time for us.

So I was thinking...

After this job,

you should get out

and focus on Chul.

Don't worry about me.

What am I talking about.

Tae-min...

Kill him!

After him! Hurry up!

Suspect found.

Need more backup!

- Hello.

- It's me.

Where are you?

I'm somewhere far away.

I have a favor to ask you.

Anything but money.

- Lieutenant PARK.

- What?

- About Chul.

- What about him?

My little brother...

If you see him...

What are you talking about?

What's going on?

Where are you now?

Hyuk!

Tell him I'm sorry.

I'm not running away from him.

I'll come back and get him.

Hyuk, where the hell are you?

Hyuk.

I surrender!

"NK Refugee Arms Dealer Arrested"

Hyuk, I don't care

if you want this or not.

I'll make them remember us.

Having fun?

After some hesitation,

I'm writing to you.

Lieutenant PARK, I'm sorry.

You loved me like a father.

And always stood by me.

I'm so sorry.

I can't ask for forgiveness

from you or Chul again.

How have you been?

Dear Hyuk,

I know you're dying

to hear about Chul.

He's out of the resettlement center,

and is safe with us.

Auntie loves him, too.

He's studying hard to

become a policeman.

I asked him why he wants

to be a cop.

Said there's a guy he

wants to catch.

Maybe it's because

he misses this person.

I gave him your letters.

Busan:
3 years later

Got it. I'll be right there.

See you soon.

- Where are you!

- F***!

Come here!

Cut the sh*t!

He already told us you sell guns.
