Do you know what this is?

- Isn't it a boiled egg?

- What's gotten into them?

- It's been so long

- These are great times

Eggs, eggs, boiled eggs

It reminds me of my wife

- What are you doing?

- Don't you know?

I haven't been this touched

in the last 20 years in jail

Okay, okay

While we're at it

how about

I'll go ask the supervisor

so get off my back

Sure thing

If we sing louder

they won't

know where it's coming from

Eggs, eggs

boiled eggs

It reminds me of my wife

Hey! Hey!

Hooray! Hooray!

The flame of reunification

is flaring up

I'm not sure

They said we'll be reunified

so aren't you happy?

No one knows yet

You're not happy

about reunification?

I'm happy

If it happens

I'll have to look for another job

Like me

don't you think

you'll be out of a job, too?

What do you mean

by that?

Isn't your job to

achieve reunification?

Maybe so

But think I'll have

nothing to do later?

Instead I'll be able to do

what I wanted

First, I'll get married

And...

I used to run a bicycle shop

before the war

So I want to open

a small bicycle factory

What about you?

No health problems, right?

It's the interview form

Fill it out

Frankly, I do want reunification

but not through the North

I don't understand you

And I don't have

the ability to change you

Whichever way

isn't reunification good?

Then do you want

the South to lead the way?

Why hasn't there

been any news?

Itll happen soon

Hopefully so

Comrade Kim, if you get freed

what will you do?

As for me...

We won't be totally free

but a sentence reduction

is possible like in the 60s

Emotions are our enemy

Comrade Kim

face up to reality

And you too

Comrade Lark

To give Comrade Nam

hope is good

but have you ever considered

how he'll feel if he's let down?

Don't you think

you're being too pessimistic?

You're rather romantic

than optimistic

You're always too careless

Let's analyze the situation

Hear that anti-North program?

Unification Revolutionary Party

Korean Japanese spies...

Think a sentence reduction

matters now?

But they say that

three years for us...

How was your wife?

And your daughter?

My fellow citizens

Respecting your earnest wish

for peace and prosperity

I'd like to announce

some pivotal decisions

First, from

October 17, 1972 at 7 P.M..

the National Assembly

will be dissolved

parties' political activities

will be halted

These are some of the clauses

that will become invalid

Nice to meet you

I'm Oh Tae-shik

your correctional officer

South Korea is the republic

of freedom and democracy

As part of our

New Village Movement

we've removed old homes

and widen the roads

to modernize our country
