Everyone's saying grace for the meal. Andrea is praying the longest. Eunha watches him. They both look at each other, with a faint smile. They are walking outside in the dark. Andrea holds Eunha's hands into his pocket but she tries to take it away. "Don't move, not today," he says. "Let's promise. I want to try doing what you like doing so much." "Do you think just anyone can do it?" "Let's promise. That you won't run away. Aren't you promising?" "Yes, I'll promise," Eunha answers. "And that you'll come to see me looking exactly like this a month from now." "OK." "And when we meet again, let's be happy. Let's smile all the time." "OK. If we meet again... And you too, promise me." "Again?" "Yes, again. Andrea... we shared more happy memories together than sad and difficult times, right?" "Yes." "And if you remember times that I made you suffer... forget them all." "Let me think... (Smiling) I can't remember any..." "OK, thanks. You have to promise me this also: that you're going to forget every words you spoke to me. That you disliked me, that you were disappointed and that you were getting tired of me... all those harsh words." "I'm really sorry..." "I forgot them all... and I know that you said it because you loved me and because you were hurting... I knew it from the beginning. (She looks at him) Whatever happens, don't ever forget that I knew your heart all along..." "OK." "Great. Then now... Can you hug me?" He hugs her as a gentleman would... to his lady. Eunha is saying good-bye in her heart. The next day, she's watching Andrea walk away. He waves at her with a happy smile. Andrea's Voice: <<<One month from now, after I return with the rights to love you as a man... Would you... marry me? After that, the two of us... let's live happily for a very long, long time.">>> ======================== Woojin is talking over the phone while driving. "I'm going there right now Eunha-ya, to make the arrangements. I'll tell you the details when I come back in 2 days. See you then." Eunha was listening through the answering machine. She leaves, carrying her luggage, and dropping 2 letters in the mail box. ======================== Andrea is dressed as a monk, meditating, and looking at the beautiful nature. Eunha's Voice: <<<Andrea, were you alarmed? You must be really upset that I broke my promise and ran away like this. I decided to go to South America as a missionary doctor. It wasn't an easy decision. But I felt that you were destined to be a priest and I was called to live as a free being. You may be angry at me and even hate me for this. If that's so, forget me, erasing from your mind this run-away and gutless coward. But after a long, long time has passed... do think of me sometimes, a little once in a while? (Andrea's trimming the trees. Another monk gives him a letter) Imagine me being somewhere around the world, living a life that's worth living... (Andrea opens the letter) Is this too much to ask? May the Lord grant me this... Good-bye... my one and only Woojin...>>> Andrea starts running. ======================== Woojin enters his home and he finds a letter on top of his desk. He opens it and he starts running. He enters Eunha's apartment in a hurry. "Mother... What are you doing in here?" "I was waiting for you and for Andrea." "Why...? Where's Eunha?" "Eunha left. She's gone." "Did you know about this? (He gets no answer) So you knew... You knew Eunha was planning to leave." "Yes, I knew. In fact, I arranged everything for her." Shaking his head: "I can't believe it. You know in what kind of a condition she's in. And you sent her away like that? Mother! (His eyes become smaller) Are you serious when you say that Eunha went to do mission works to South America?" "Yes." "Mother." Noise of doors and footsteps. Andrea enters, like in a trance. "Andrea," calls the lady doctor. "Where is Eunha?" he asks. "I received a letter... saying that she's going to South America... Is this true?" "Yes. She left this morning." Andrea walks closer. "That can't be true. She promised me, that she'd wait for me. No, that can't be true..." Woojin grabs Andrea, shaking his neck. "It's all your fault. All your fault!!! She sacrificed herself in order to send you back. In order that you can be a priest!!! ~to keep the truth from you. So that you could live comfortably! She sacrificed for you! (Andrea is stunned) Eunha... she's..." "Stop it! Stop it Woojin-ah..." says the lady doctor. "Please stop both of you..." "She sacrificed... for me?" Andrea is trying to understand. "No, it's because of me, I did it. I couldn't stand seeing both of you getting hurt so I sent her away. Because she was being tormented standing in between the two of you." "What does it mean... that she did it for me? (Lady doctor looks away.) Did anything happen to Eunha that I'm not aware of?" "Eunha said she didn't want to be responsible for you giving up your dreams. That it was too heavy of a burden and scary. That's why she asked you to forget her. That you may hate her and erase her from your memory." "You've gone too far, mother," complains Woojin. "Is Andrea the only one for Eunha?" "Yes, I'm selfish. Your mom... I can't think of anyone besides the two of you. Thus, hate your mother... and forget Eunha, both of you. That's what she wants, that you'd forget her." She walks out. Andrea is still in shock. Woojin looks at him with hate and leaves. ======================== Woojin is inside his car, hitting the handle in madness. ======================== Andrea is walking as a zombie. It starts raining hard. He just stands there under the heavy rain. ======================== Doctor Jung MyungWoo is drawing diagrams of hearts and arteries. He hears the noise of doors. He goes to see his wife. She has been silently crying. The old man tells Yoori to leave them alone, that he has something to tell his wife. ======================== When Woojin enters the house, cast down, Yoori tells him that mother looks strange today. "Where is she?" he asks. "She's talking with father." "OK. Don't worry and go to your room." ======================== "I'm a very selfish woman. I sent away on her own someone who's dying so that my children would suffer less ~ to die by herself, all alone. I couldn't forget JinSoo, and I abandoned my son in order to forget him..." "It's not your fault, no. It's my sin, I'm the sinner." He kneels down before her. "Please, forgive me." The lady doesn't understand. "I was the one who denounced JinSoo's hiding place. You were not the only one who knew where he was hiding at, I too knew where he was, because he trusted me that much. I hated him because he had everything I wanted, and he had you. That's why I denounced him, that's why... I didn't know he'd die like that. He was closer to me than a brother, he was that good to me. All my life, I lived with his shadows..." Lady doctor doesn't respond. Woojin is outside the room, listening. ======================== Doctor Jung is at his office, looking down. "You've done it again, father," says Woojin. "You've finally destroyed my relationship with mother. For a very long time you shared your sin with me. Because of that knowledge I lost a friend who could have been my brother. With that, I lost my identity also." "If I could, I'd return to the past and fix everything." "Thank you father, for destroying the little pity I had for you. From now on, I could just hate you." The older man stands up. "Where are you going?" "I'm going to Andrea. I'm going to him and ask him for forgiveness." "Father." "Don't stop me. I need his forgiveness. This is my last chance for redemption." He walks away. ======================== Doctor Jung enters the Sanctuary. Andrea was sitting at the front. He stands up surprised to see the old man. The doctor slowly walks towards him. "Professor... What brought you here?" The older man kneels down. "I would like to say my confessions to the priest. Please, hear my confessions, I plead with you. Hear the confessions of this sinner!" Andrea kneels down, trying to make the older man stand up. "I'm not a priest any more." The man looks up: "Woojin-ah... the man who killed your father... I am that man. (Andrea's face changes) I denounced my friend and so he died. Everything happened because of my sins. And I made your mother abandon you. It was because of my sins that my own son is hurting you. Everything happened because of me. (Andrea looks more and more in shock) Woojin-ah... Free me from this torment. You're the only one who can forgive me. Woojin-ah..." Andrea stands up in disbelief. "You're the only one who can forgive... Woojin-ah... Please... I plead with you... Can you forgive me?" Andrea is shaking his head. "Woojin-ah..." "I'm not a priest. I can't forgive you." Looking madly: "I can't forgive the man who killed my father. I can't forgive you, no I can't... (Raising his voice) I can't forgive you!!!!" Andrea runs away.

EPISODE 14
It's raining outside the Church. Inside, doctor Jung MyungWoo is kneeling down before Andrea: "Woojin-ah... the man who killed your father... I am that man. (Andrea's face changes) I denounced my friend and so he died. Everything happened because of my sins. And I made your mother abandon you. It was because of my sins that my own son is hurting you. Everything happened because of me. (Andrea looks more and more in shock) Woojin-ah... Free me from this torment. You're the only one who can forgive me. Woojin-ah..." Andrea stands up in disbelief. "You're the only one who can forgive... Woojin-ah... Please... I plead with you... Can you forgive me?" Andrea is shaking his head. "Woojin-ah..." "I'm not a priest. I can't forgive you." Looking madly: "I can't forgive the man who killed my father. I can't forgive you, no I can't... (Raising his voice) I can't forgive you!!!!" Andrea runs away. ========================= Andrea is inside his room, with his hair all wet. He furiously grabs the cross: "What is it you want me to do?!" He is asking God in anger. ========================= Eunha is praying in the Hospital. Jung Woojin is sitting down in his room, depressed. Lady doctor is lying on her bad, crying. Yoori is sitting by her mother's bed, sad. Doctor Jung MyungWoo commits suicide. Lady doctor cries out in anguish when she finds out. Woojin starts throwing things, breaking his paintings and making a mess out of his room... then he remembers. ========================= Andrea is walking with his bike. Woojin comes running towards him and hits him, throwing him on the floor, screaming at Andrea. Andrea fights back, falling on top of Woojin. "Jung Woojin! Why are you acting like this!" Andrea demands. Woojin starts crying. Andrea looks puzzled: "Woojin-ah..." "I won't forgive you. I'm never going to forgive you!!! (Andrea doesn't understand) He killed himself after meeting you. After he met you. You killed him!" "What are you talking about? What are you saying, Woojin-ah!!!" Panting and crying: "You killed my father. Father... he said he was going to ask for your forgiveness. (Andrea is shaken) He died before I could forgive him. You killed my father. I didn't... I didn't... it wasn't me... not me..." Woojin stands up looking at Andrea on the floor. "You killed him. It was you who killed him." Woojin leaves, while Andrea is still on the floor, unable to move. ========================= Father Pedro and Andrea were at the lady doctor's house. They stand up as the lady and her family enters. The house is in mourning. Father Pedro speaks up: "I'm sorry, we as priests are not allowed to go to the funeral so we've been waiting for you here." "Thank you," says the lady. They are all sitting on the couches, looking down and without saying anything. "Noona... Are you OK? I felt that we ought to come here today." "Yes... thank you." "It's only after father dies that mother's entire family meet," says Woojin, sarcastically. "Woojin-ah... you must understand. We're all devastated right now. I'm sorry... (She looks at Andrea) I'm sorry..." Woojin cuts in: "Don't say that mother. (Looking at Andrea) Why do you think father died?" "You shouldn't talk about that now," says the old priest. "I must," continues Woojin. "I didn't have a chance to ask you what you talked with father that day. What did he talk about?" "Woojin-ah..." the mother tries to stop him. "Tell me. What happened then that he died...?" "Woojin-ah, please." Yoori stands up and signs: "Oppa, why are you doing this? You're going too far." She leaves the room. "That day..." Andrea speaks up, "the professor came to confess his sins to me. (Looking up to the lady) Yes, he confessed to me... that he was the man that killed my father. He asked me to forgive him." "Andrea," the uncle interrupts. "But I couldn't forgive him. And I ran away. I did." "Stop it!" the lady says. "Stop it, stop..." She looks down. "Father Pedro, take this boy and leave. I'm sorry..." She leaves the room. Father Pedro follows his sister out of the room. Woojin talks: "You must have been happy until now. You must have thought you were a righteous man. But you didn't know how many people became miserable because of you. You were not righteous, you just didn't know. Mother, Eunha, my father... and myself, we all suffered because of you. Now, in the name of them all, I'm going to step all over you. I'll really do it. I'll take away the most precious thing from you. I will." Woojin leaves. Andrea is completely numb. ========================= Eunha is playing with children who are Hospitalized. Eunha's Voice: <<<Dear Doctor, You told me not to write, but you'll forgive me this once, right? (Lady doctor is reading) I received the package you sent me through Haewon Unni. Thank you. (Eunha is wearing a patient's bat, sitting on her hospital bed, thinking) I'm doing really well in here... but sometimes, I really miss you. Sometimes, I wish I could see you...>>> ========================= Andrea is working at a Construction Factory, soutane on, carrying heavy loads on his back. He drinks rice-wine during his break. Jung Woojing is busy studying Eunha's case. Lee Woojin is walking in zig-zag, stumbling... drunk. ========================= Sister Jemma welcomes Sister Estelle inside Andrea's room. "Please come in. Brother Andrea is late today..." She sees a can of empty beer on top of the desk and she hides it in a hurry. "Please sit down." She tries to hide other empty bottles but Sister Estelle sees them. "Please, don't tell the Bishop about this. And especially, don't tell Father Pedro." "Don't tell what?" Father Pedro asks standing at the door. Sister Jemma is so startled that she throws the empty bottles on the floor. Father Pedro sees them. "Lately... Brother Andrea... he was having some digestion problems, and he needed to detox..." she is trying to explain. The priest just walks away. There is a noise of doors. "What's going on?" asks Ms. Maria to a stumbling Andrea. Father Pedro is staring at him. Sister Jemma holds him from falling. "Brother Andrea..." "Hi! Everyone's here," he smiles. "Sister Estelle is here too..." he tries to bow to her and walk away, but falls on the floor. "Brother Andrea!" cries Sister Jemma. "Pay attention," pleads Ms. Maria. They are both helping him stand up. "I'm fine." He smiles at them. "I'm really fine." "Did you drink a lot?" asks the older priest. "Not much. I'm fine, really. (Smiling to Sister Estelle) How come you're here?" Without looking: "I came to find out when you could return to the Clinic... (she looks up) but I guess you can't..." Still smiling: "Yes, I can't. Find someone else." "Andrea!!!" Father Pedro yells in anger. Everyone is frightened, but Andrea turns towards him, with a defiant look: "Don't scream at me." "What...?" "I told you not to scream at me!!!" Andrea yells back, approaching his uncle. "Why are you screaming at me... when it's all your fault." "Woojin-ah..." "It's all your fault! Why did you come to rescue me? Why did you lie to me?! Why did you tell me my mother was good? You should have told me that she's someone who abandons her son twice or three times. If I knew that, as the son of such a woman, I wouldn't have chosen to become a priest." "Andrea, why are you being like that?" cries Sister Jemma. "You tell me Sister... (Looking at everyone) Why did you all pretend that everything was so right and wonderful. You all felt the hypocrisy of this, didn't you? You all knew but you pretended everything was OK!!! (He looks back at his uncle) Why did you come for me? If you just left me there, it'd have been better. You should have told me someone like me shouldn't become a priest!!! I resent you. I resent God." "Andrea... take it off. Take off that uniform, take it off. You're right, you shouldn't have become a priest. Take it off... and be at peace." Defiantly: "I don't want to. I won't take it off. Not on my own. If this is God's will, I'll go all the way... till I learn why He called me in the first place. I'll go all the way." He leaves, as Sister Jemma follows him.

Andrea goes inside his room. He opens his desk, looking at the cross-necklace. "Eunha-ya... please save me." ========================= Eunha is dressed with a patient's robe, reading 'fairy tales' to the children at the Hospital. She is reading the story of the little boy who was rescued by the robe that fell from the Sky. The kids clap their hands, asking for more. She looks for another book to read but she feels pain and she tells them that she'll continue later. The children leave. She takes her medication, pressing her heart with her hand. Opening a little box, she takes out the cross necklace, and holds it in her hands, trembling. "Mom, I'm in pain... Andrea... I'm in pain." ========================= Lady doctor enters Yoori's room and sees a water-paint of Andrea. Yoori explains: "I was thankful that he learned sign language for me and I wanted to give him this as a present." "Yoori, come here." Yoori sits down. "Mom, do you really have to go tomorrow?" "Your mom needs some rest. I need more time to love your father. I'm really sorry for you." "I love you mom. I'm fine. I'll go visit you often." "OK, you have to come often. And take good care of your Oppa. And... (Giving Eunha's letter) Can you give this to Andrea Oppa?" "Is Eunha Unni in Korea?" The lady nods. "Your mom doesn't have the courage to meet Andrea yet... Can you do it?" "Yes, but what about Oppa?" "Woojin... Let's not tell him. There are some people in this world that must be together. Otherwise, everyone will suffer." ========================= Woojin is making phone calls trying to locate Eunha. Lady doctor enters his room. "I came to say good-bye. Once I enter the Convent tomorrow, I won't be able to see you often." "Blood is thicker than water. You too are running away to God. There's something you must do before leaving." "Tell me." "Where is Eunha? You know, don't you? You should know. You know where she went, right?" "I don't know. And even if I knew, I couldn't tell you." "Why?" "Because the more you love her, the closer you get to her... you turn bad. And you suffer." "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You don't want me to be with Eunha. Because you're on Andrea's side. As always." "You've always been my choice. Yes, it was you. If it was for your good, I could give up anything, any time." "Yes but, you've always been Andrea's mother." "Yes, Andrea... Andrea's my son. (Looking at Woojin) But the memories of my son, the little boy that was learning to walk stumbling, that baby that grew up and made me proud as my son, that son that would do anything for me... all those wonderful memories with my son... they are all yours. But in the end... I just wounded you like this..." She looks at him closely: "Set Eunha free... let her go. And don't hurt because of her anymore. Don't suffer anymore. Farewell... my son." Woojin is touched... ========================= Andrea is working at the Construction Factory, still wearing the priest's soutane. ========================= Yoori asks the housekeeper where Woojin Oppa is. "He just stepped out of the house," the woman says. Yoori goes to her room. She looks at Andrea's portrait. Woojin forgot something and the housekeeper tells him Yoori was looking for him. Yoori takes out Eunha's letter from her desk. Woojin enters her room and catches her holding the letter. Yoori tries to hide it but Woojin takes it from her. He reads it. "Did mother give you this? For Andrea? (Laughing) She's betraying me again... She's amazing, isn't she?" Yoori tries to take back the letter. Woojin grabs her harshly. "Don't tell this to Andrea. (shaking her) Do you understand? Don't tell this to mother either, do you understand? Do you?!!!" Yoori nods her head... ========================= Eunha is feeding the children. Doctor Haewon comes to visit her with SoYeong. Eunha embraces her teary friend. "SoYeong-ah... Don't cry." "You're so bad, really." After signing some paperwork, doctor Haewon steps out. "SoYeong-ah, I'm so glad to see you." "Yes... but you should have told me." "I was afraid you'd tell Woojin. It's a secret." "Woojin is looking for you like crazy." "Then avoid him for a few months. I won't live much longer." "Eunha-ya..." "Everyone's well, right? How's the doctor doing?" SoYeong hesitates: "Doctor Jung passed away. He killed himself. But they say... it was Andrea's fault." Eunha is remembering SoYeong's story. SoYeong's voice: <<<It seems that Andrea refused Doctor Jung's last confession. Andrea is not himself... he's really in pain. He's working at a Construction Factory near his Church.>>> A doctor is informing Woojin that there's no one in that hospital by the name of Jo Eunha. They show him the room of the only female patient with such a heart-condition. "Patient Lee Mijeong went to Seoul," explains the nurse. "She went to see her boyfriend." "Then she's not the person I'm looking for. She wouldn't go to Seoul looking for her boyfriend... Is there another hospital nearby?" He looks down and sees the necklace he gave Eunha. He starts running. ========================= The construction manager is telling Andrea to slow down. "I could tell you're not used to this kind of work Mr. priest. I fear you'd get sick like that." "I'm fine," says Andrea, smiling. While walking up the stairs, the bricks fall. He walks back down to fix the mess. People are looking at him shaking their heads, commenting: "What is a priest doing here? What sins has he committed?" "You never know. He may have had an affair with a woman? Hee hee..." "Affair?" Eunha is watching Andrea work, hidden. ========================= The renegade priest is drinking soju at a food court. He asks for more soju. "Mr. Priest, please, stop drinking," asks the owner of the place. 2 people were drinking in another table, and one of them comments: "Priest? Who's a priest? Ha!" Andrea laughs to himself, amused. "What?! Are you laughing at me?" says the man. Andrea stares at him: "Why? A priest cannot even laugh?" "What a F...!" says the man, trying to fight, but his companion stops him. "He's Father Pedro's nephew, so calm down!" The owner pleads: "Please, come back tomorrow..." "OK, I understand. You're afraid of what the people might say, right? Then I'll leave..." He stands up but he stumbles, overturning the entire table and falling on the floor. People are pointing fingers at him. "I'm sorry," he says and he slowly walks away. Eunha is watching him... =========================

Andrea is walking in zig-zag. A lady passes by him with her 2 children. "Wow, there's the Beast of a Priest!" cries a boy. The mother apologizes to Andrea. Andrea laughs. "Thank you." He sits down by the road to rest. Eunha continues watching him sadly. "Andrea..."When he stood up, Eunha starts running away. Andrea sees her back. "Eunha-ya... Eunha-ya!" He runs after her, looking everywhere. Eunha watches him from inside a cab. The cab leaves, leaving Andrea laughing to himself. ========================= Andrea is in front of the Mission Clinic. It's dark outside, and Sister Estelle is next to him. "Why aren't they expelling me yet at the Committee? A horrible priest like me, who made someone commit suicide by refusing his confession..." "That uniform is for you a greater prison than an expulsion, isn't it so Brother?" "This uniform, a prison? No, it's not. This soutane is my last rope of hope I've left. (He sighs) I saw Eunha today. I could see her. Now, she even appears to me like that..." "Are you saying that you saw a vision of her?" "She left me so ruthlessly, in the most cruel way... but why do I see her vision? Why?!" "Eunha-ssi left you for your own good. So that you could stay here." "I'm not a priest anymore. It wasn't God who brought me here, it was my own ambition. I may be blaming God for making me suffer, but actually, I'm completely broken because I lost Eunha. I'm not wearing this uniform in order to hold onto God... I'm still wearing this because I've nowhere else to go once I take it off. Since I lost her." "Please, don't hurt yourself like that." "From the beginning, I've no rights to wear the soutane. To me, this uniform was my only refuge. Because I was an orphan, and since I found mother abandoned me... and the woman I loved betrayed me... This uniform was like that fairy-rope that gave me the last glimpse of hope, somewhere I could run to. I was never truly devoted to God. I had just escaped to Him. I've... deceived God." "If you're saying that you lied to God, that means you believe in Him. You do." Andrea looks up, as if he were waking up from a dream: "I don't believe anymore." "In that case, would you really take off that uniform?" "Yes. I've no more reason to stay. Now, I'm really leaving for good." ========================= Eunha goes back to her Hospital room. "Woojin-ah... How come you're here?" "I've waited for you a long time." "Did the lady doctor tell you? Does Andrea know? Does he know I'm in Korea?" "Didn't you go see him? Pack your stuff. Let's go back to Seoul. Do it now... You can't? (Raising his voice) Then I'll do it!" Woojin starts taking out the clothes from her closet in a rage. "Woojin-ah, stop it! Who are you to come here like this and tell me what to do? Who are you? I left because I felt that if I stayed there I'd just die. And I didn't want to die in between Andrea and you." "You should have told me. Andrea doesn't know anything. So he can hate you and forget you. But what about me? How do you think I'd feel when I imagine you dying somewhere all by yourself? Did you think I could just give you up like that? Why are you so cruel? Do you want me to see the woman I love die like this? Without being there?" "Woojin-ah... I heard of Doctor Jung's... I'm sorry I couldn't be there..." "I hated him all my life. Until the day he died." "He must have known. Doctor Jung must have known your true feelings for him." "I don't care about father right now. But this I'm sure of: I'll never forgive Andrea for killing father. I really mean it this time. Thus, I'm going to save you and show him how happy we are together. Let's go back to Seoul." "I can't, I can't go." "I see..." Woojin is thinking. "I don't care if you don't go. I'll come here then." Woojin walks out. ========================= Andrea is touching the priest's soutane that is hanging against the closet. He is wearing normal clothes, waiting for his uncle finish praying. The uncle sees him. They are sitting outside the Church. "Are you prepared to be ex-communicated?" "I took off the soutane before hearing of their decision. So I'm prepared for it." "Are you really OK?" Andrea smiles a faint smile. "Yes, I'm fine. From now on, I won't return as a regular member of the Congregation either. I'm going to leave this place for good. So I can't stay at the Church any longer, right? Let me stay just for a few days. I'll go somewhere really far." "You're planning never to come back..." "I won't. I'm sorry." "I've never done anything for you. I wasn't supposed to love you more than others, so I always felt guilty, and I hurt every time I thought of you... When you chose this path, I blamed myself." "Don't feel like that uncle... I'm most grateful to you for everything you've done. I thank you more than words can express. And... I'm sorry for breaking your heart so much. To me, you've been my father and my mentor. I'll be forever thankful to you. Thank you, uncle." ========================= Woojin is making the arrangements to transfer himself to Eunha's Hospital. He is discussing the situation with the Head doctor of the new hospital. Eunha sees them and asks them what's going on. Woojin gives her a bunch of roses. "Doctor Jung wants to work in our Hospital. We're more than glad to have him here. So let me leave now, that you may both talk to each other." The Head doctor leaves. "You really don't listen, do you?" "I told you I'd come. I was thinking of ways to take you back to Seoul but I figured it's better this way. I don't want to be anywhere near Andrea." ========================= Yoori enters a restaurant. Andrea stands up, smiling at his sister. They are both eating. Andrea looks at Yoori eat. "Is this good?" he asks her with his hands. Yoori smiles, nodding. "You could talk. I can read lips." "It must be uncomfortable while you're eating..." "I finished," she tells him. "What kind of painting is this?" "Something very precious. Do you know mother entered the Convent for Nuns? And Oppa transferred to another hospital in the country. That's where... No, nothing..." "So much happened... I thank you that you came to see me in spite of all that." "Me too, I thank you that you called me... (Moving her lips) Oppa..." "I've been curious... I thought of you... I always did. I'm happy to see how nice and pretty you've grown." "You too..." Andrea pauses. "I'm really glad that I could see you before leaving." "What do you mean?" "I wanted to see you. I want to remember that I too have a sister. I'll remember your face for a very long, long time. I'm... going away. (Yoori holds her breath...) I'm sorry..." They are walking outside the restaurant. Yoori pulls Andrea's hand. "Yes?" "Please, meet Oppa before leaving. You should meet Woojin Oppa. Go to the Hospital down in the country to meet him. This is my last request. Please." ========================= Woojin runs inside Eunha's room and finds her sleeping. He looks worried... He slowly touches Eunha's face, afraid... She opens her eyes. Woojin is relieved. They are walking outside. "I heard you've been sick all morning. Is it that important to read fairy tales to the children? You're a patient too. Do you have to be taking care of other patients and work as a doctor? I'll do those things for you." "Don't say that. I do them because I want to. All those things are very important to me." "OK, I understand. But it's cold, so wait in here, I'll bring you something warmer." "You don't have to." Woojin ignores her, walking away. ========================= Eunha sees Andrea reading fairy tales to the children. The kids are clapping at him. "Now... What should I read next?" "This one," says a boy, giving him a book. It's the story of the boy rescued by the rope. "This is the doctor's favorite book," continues the boy. "This... is my favorite book too," Andrea says. "Are you a patient too?" asks another kid. "No, I came to see a friend." Eunha turns around to leave in a hurry. "Eunha-ya!" Woojin calls her. Andrea looks up. The children see her, and they run happily towards her. Andrea stands up, staring at both Woojin... and Eunha.

EPISODE 15
Eunha is sitting at the Hospital Hall, wearing the doctor's uniform on top of her patient's pajamas. Both Woojins are standing, facing each other. Jung Woojin speaks up first: "I didn't want to see you again, but I'm meeting you like this." Andrea doesn't respond, pretty stiff looking. "OK, I told Eunha to do that. She was tormented by seeing you give up your future for her... that's why I told her to run away. That it was going to be better for you... I told her that." Andrea looks up. "I want to talk to her." "You can't, I won't let you." "I've something to tell her." "You can't." "Woojin-ah..." Eunha speaks up. Woojin leaves. The two that remained are not looking at each other. "You've been practicing here..." "Yes..." "It was you. You really came to see me. That day... you came to see me, right?" "Yes..." "I thought you vanished from this world... If you left like that, you shouldn't have let me find you." "I heard about you from SoYeong and I was worried. I heard you were in pain..." Dryly: "Thank you for worrying." "OK. I'm glad to see you looking better." "I feel better now." "Your clothes..." "I have to go somewhere. I'll do as you wish. I'm going to become a good priest. I'll be a good priest and do lots of good works. That's going to set my life straight. Thank you for setting me free." "Yes... Thank you for understanding... I knew how much you wanted to be a priest, how much you sacrificed in order to become one. I knew it all. I'm glad to know I made the right choice." (A little upset?) "Yes, you made the right choice. I'm leaving. I'll be a good priest so I wish you the best in your life. May Woojin make you really happy. And you too... make him happy. Love him for real this time. Farewell." He leaves without turning back. Eunha stands up, wanting to say something... but she faints. Andrea is going down the escalator when he sees several doctors rushing in a hurry. He sees Woojin rushing up the escalator with fear written all over his face. Andrea thinks for a second... and he turns back. He sees doctors rushing the unconscious Eunha inside the Emergency room. He is stunned... After the initial shock, he tries to enter the room but doctors block him the entrance. He is checking the x-ray files through the computer monitor. "This was yours..." he whispers, in shock horror, leaning his head down, and closing his eyes. Andrea is waiting outside the Emergency room, sitting down... and walking back and forth... leaning himself against the wall. Woojin comes out. ======================= Both Woojins are standing outside the hospital. "You among all, you almost killed her," Woojin says. "Is she OK now...?" "Yes, she's alive. As long as she's with me, my woman wouldn't die." "Since when... since when did you know this?" "What does it matter?" "If you knew, why didn't you tell me?" "Eunha didn't want you to know. But even if she did, I wouldn't have told you. Don't feel guilty. What could you have done anyways? Tell me what you ever did for her. You've been too busy following after that Great God of yours that you abandoned her and wounded her. You've been too busy looking up to Heavens that you couldn't notice her. You just made her be constantly looking out for you. That's why I tell you: Go back to your Mighty God." "I can't... I've nowhere to go. I gave up my priesthood. ... What should I do? What can I do for Eunha?" "Don't do anything. You can't. You've no rights. Why do you think she came all the way here? She doesn't want you to know of her condition. That's all she's thinking right now: How she could sacrifice herself so that you can become a priest. That's why there's nothing you can do. Go back. You lost your chance... thanks to that Great God of yours. If you show yourself to her now, telling her you won't be a priest, she'll lose her incentives to live. That's why I'll tell her that you left before she fainted. That you still don't know anything." "I'll see her." "Are you still just thinking of yourself?" "I have to see her. I'll see her before she wakes up......" He walks inside the Hospital. ======================= Andrea is looking at the unconscious Eunha. "Did you... suffer by yourself for such a long time? All those words you spoke to me... regarding few years... few months... All those words... I've never imagined they were in reference to your death. I just thought they were about your dreams... dreams of us living together... I've no courage. You've been so strong all along, suffering all by yourself and leaving like that... I've no courage to see you like this... and I'm thinking of running away." He leans his head down towards the unconscious woman. "Forgive me Eunha-ya... forgive me. Forgive me. For making you lonely for so long... and even now, I'm planning to run away." Eunha opens her eyes. "Honestly, I've no courage to see you." Eunha caresses Andrea's hair. "It's OK..." Andrea looks up. "I'll... sleep a bit more..." Eunha closes her eyes again. Andrea holds her hands, pressing them against himself, as if he were kissing them. ======================= "I'm going back to Italy," Andrea tells Woojin. "I'm going to work in a Hospital there. Call me if anything happens." "Nothing's going to happen. When are you leaving?" "..." Nodding with his head, Andrea leaves. ======================= Woojin enters Eunha's room in a hurry. He sees her eating. "Were you scared? I have problem breathing a little, but everything else is fine. Don't worry." Woojin, sitting down: "As soon as you feel better, let's move to Seoul. I think we should. We shouldn't fear for Andrea anymore." "He doesn't know yet, right?" "He doesn't..." "I had a dream. I know I shouldn't have this kind of dreams, but I dreamt that he found out everything... I'm done eating." Woojin takes the plates away. "Thank you. I must sleep now." ======================= Woojin takes Eunha back to Seoul, to her apartment. "Go now. I'm tired," she says. "Eat before you sleep. Wait, I'll get you something." "I'm tired. Just go." "Why are you like that?" "What? Everything's over..." "What's over? You'll have the surgery and after that, you have to get better. There's so much to do. (She doesn't respond) Did you live until now in order to show off to Andrea? Did you survive thinking of how altruistically you can lie to him and how much he'd comfort you after he finds out? Were you thinking like that? If that's so, why do you run away? You should just stay with him." "I don't know... I don't know, so don't scold me. Are you suffering more than me? Is this tougher for you? It's painful enough to see Andrea's mad at me while I'm dying. So don't scold me. I just wanted to see him from far... I thought that would be enough. But no, it's not. It's not enough. Are you happy now? ... No, I'm fine. (Wiping a tear) I'm just complaining to you because you are with me. I'm fine... I'm fine, so you go. You can go. (Changing her tone of voice) How can I be fine? I'm dying, I'm dying by myself... Why me? What did I do wrong? I'm angry. It's so unfair. Even without this, I already suffered enough." She's crying, covering her face with her two hands. Woojin wants to comfort her... but he leaves instead. ======================= Woojin sits down at his father's office, taking out a bottle of wine. "Father... you've won." He starts drinking. ======================= Andrea is thinking, still looking shocked. Woojin's Voice: <<<Why do you think she came all the way here? She didn't want you to know of her condition. That's all she's thinking right now: How she could sacrifice herself so that you can become a priest... If you show yourself to her now, telling her you won't be a priest, she'll lose her incentives to live.>>> =======================

Woojin is drunk. He tries to walk, and he stumbles, throwing books and folders off from the desk... He finds a letter. Doctor Jung MyunWoo's Voice: <<<To Woojin, I'm leaving you all the files I put together with those I gathered from my former professors. (Doctor Jung is drawing heart diagrams) It would have been better if I could perform the operation myself... I feel I lost my chance to pay you all for my wrongs... (Woojin is crying as he reads the letter) Woojin-ah, your father always lived with a narrowed mind. That was the only way I knew. Now that I think of it, I had forgotten that many times in life, letting go of small things could bring you a much larger return. It's too late for me now... But I hope you learn to let go. (Woojin looks defeated) In everything regarding life, as a man and as a doctor... I hope you would overcome your father. Like every father, this is my hope for you... Forgive me... My son.>>> ======================= "Are you ready to leave?" Father Pedro asks Andrea. "Yes." "What is it you had to tell us?" "Well... I'm sorry for leaving like this. Don't be too alarmed... Eunha is in Korea." "Eunha's in Korea?" asks sister Jemma. "She came back?" "No, she's been here all along." "What do you mean?" asks Ms. Maria. "Then why did she lie that she went to South America?" "What are you telling us?" asks the priest. "Eunha... is ill. (He pauses) She's dying." ======================= Andrea and his uncle are by themselves in Andrea's room. "Are you sure of what you're saying?" "Yes." "Did you meet her?" "Yes." "Then why are you planning to leave?" "Eunha thinks I don't know of her condition. That's what's keeping her going. If I stay, I'll just become a burden to her. Actually... I'm afraid to be with her. To think about the meaning of all this... and what God is trying to tell me through this. I'm afraid..." "Andrea, you don't have a choice. Just think of what you need right now. At times, it's better to fulfill your own needs instead of following someone else's desire." ======================= Andrea is going to the airport, inside a cab. He remembers... Eunha's Voice: <<<I'm going to call you Andrea from now on. You told me you'll use it for the rest of your life, right? Then promise me. That you won't kick me out of your life... That you will listen to my confessions... and if one day I die... you'll have to do the Sacrament of Extreme Unction for me. That you'll be with me till the end, holding my hands... Promise me that Andrea.>>> "We've arrived," the taxi driver tells him. "Sir, can we go back?" ======================= Someone pressed the bell at Eunha's apartment. It's Woojin. She brings him something to drink. "It's tea with honey, drink this. You still smell to alcohol... Yesterday I acted like a child, I'm ashamed to look at you... But I didn't mean that I was giving up on myself, so don't worry. So you too, don't worry about me and go back to your own life. That's why I came up to Seoul, because I'm worried for you." Woojin holds Eunha's hand. "Stay there for a moment." He is closing his eyes. "Woojin-ah..." "Just for a moment." He opens his eyes. "Do you know something? You've always been for me like a runner who's waiting for the signal to go, standing at the starting line, waiting for the blast, always ready to run..." "I'm sorry..." "I've a confession to make. But before I confess, can you promise me one thing? (Looking at her) That you'd put me in charge of your case, so that I could perform the operation for you. Can you promise me that?" "What kind of confession is this?" "Promise me first. That you won't think of dying at all. And that you'd strive hard to survive. Promise me." "OK, I promise. What is it?" (Looking away) "Andrea knows everything." "What... do you mean?" "When you fainted, he stayed with you all night. It wasn't a dream." "Does that mean... that Andrea knows I'm ill?" "I'm sorry. I couldn't stop it. I told him not to be with you. That you needed to believe he doesn't know anything. That he should leave." "You did well... Yes, that's what I wanted..." Woojin stands up. "Andrea is going back to Italy today. It's a 4:30 flight. (Eunha looks at the clock that marks 12:50) Once he leaves, you won't be able to see him again..." He hesitates. "Ready... go..." Woojin leaves. Eunha is sitting, numb. Suddenly, she grabs her bag and runs out. ======================= Andrea goes to the Hospital down in the country. He sees Eunha smiling at him... but it's not her. Eunha is at the airport looking for the flight number. Andrea finds out that her room at the hospital is empty. Eunha is pressing her heart, feeling tired. Andrea is checking with the receptionist. Eunha is sitting at the airport bench, looking down. Andrea is outside of Eunha's apartment, knocking at her door. There's no answer. He calls her, but no one opens the door. He walks back and forth. He sits on the floor, tired of waiting. ======================= Woojin goes to visit lady doctor at the Convent. She's examining the files doctor Jung left his son. "Your father left you a very precious thing..." "I want you to be there during the operation mother. You must be happy to hear that Eunha and Andrea are finally together. Regardless, I'm going to operate Eunha. It wasn't because I was so touched by father's letter that I did this. I was just fed up seeing those two fools deceive each other and waste their time. There's not much time left..." "Thank you." "If you're there, I might perform as well as father... I always looked forward for that day, and this time, I really must do it. I need you, mother." "I'm glad to hear that you need me. Thank you. I'll be there." Woojin stands up. "I also thank you. I'll let you know as soon as I get the schedules." "Woojin-ah..." Woojin turns to look at her. The lady holds his hands. "You've done a good thing, a really good thing. You, and those two... you should all stop hurting." She hugs him.

Eunha is walking back to her apartment, down cast. She sees Andrea sleeping on the floor, next to his luggage. She walks towards him. She kneels down to see him... and she caresses his hair with a smile. Andrea wakes up. "Are you OK?" Eunha asks. "Yes... Are you... OK?" "Yes." "Eunha-ya... Forgive me." "Yes, you want me to forgive you everything?" They hug, a tear falling down Eunha's eyes. ======================= They're packing. "Really?" "Yes, after I was done with Med. School until the time I was pre-ordained, I had to pray and meditate all day, starting 5 in the morning till late at night. I had to do that for more than a year. In a way, it was good. At least back then, I had no worries." Eunha is telling him she's been given priority in the schedules... Andrea looks at her: "You must have been scared... a chicken like you..." "Scared? Actually I was. (Sitting down) But I became friendly towards my condition. Lately, when my heart becomes heavy, I say to myself that I need to rest, and I'm glad I don't have to think of anything else. And I fall asleep." Reaching for her hands: "I'm sorry for making you think of painful thinks. I've hurt you so much you became sick... it's all my fault." "It's OK. Your sickness was also my fault, your spiritual sickness. Even though I made you sick like that you were able to endure because of God's love, weren't you? I'm at peace now. I knew it from the beginning but why did I try to rebel so much? I sould just surrender... that's all I needed to do." "To whom?" "To your God... to my God. Since the first time you told me by the Sea, that you were going to become a priest, I knew it, that regardless of where and how you were born, you would become a priest. (Looking at him) That you've been called." "Eunha-ya..." "I'm sure He'll forgive me. Even though I wanted you for myself, and even now, I'm stealing you for a moment from Him, I never really intended to break His will. That's why he's going to forgive me, isn't He?" "Eunha-ya... Actually..." He can't say it. "Yes..." "That's why you have to make up with Him. And pray that I may be forgiven, and that I may be healed. You're a priest... But still, you can be with me for a little while, right?" "Yes. I took time off. Because of you... since a family member... is sick." "That's great. It pays to be sick at times," she smiles. ======================= They went to the country, walking at the beach. They are moving to a small house next to the beach. They are painting the outside. They eat apples in the room. Ms. Maria and Sister Jemma came to visit, and sister Jemma tries to feed Eunha. Andrea and Eunha are eating outside. ======================= Eunha is sitting on top of a rock, facing the beach. Andrea takes off his jacket and covers her. "Turn around." "Why?" Eunha asks. "Come on." When Eunha turns, he puts a hairclip on her hair. "I bought it at the town's village. I think this is my first present to you." "Dummy, you gave me a pin before." "I had bought that for my mother. You've always given me the best but I always gave you left-overs. Until now, you've been the person who loved me most. So think of me and don't leave." ======================= It's night. They are eating inside the house. Eunha feels a chest pain. "What's wrong?" Andrea asks. "Nothing. (Looking at him) It doesn't go with you. Those clothes you're wearing, they don't suit you. Even if you're taking time off, how come you're not wearing the soutane at all?" "Then... should I change?" "Just go back to the Church. I'm afraid to have you here with me all day." "Eunha-ya..." "Even though you tell me you took time off for me, and that you got permission, I'm afraid to spend the day like this. I'll be here on my own. And you can come visit me once in a while." "I took a long break." "But go anyways. I feel uncomfortable having you like this all day." ======================= Andrea is walking with his bike. "Woojin-ssi!!" Sister Estelle runs to him and gives him some food. "Give it to Eunha-ssi." "Thank you." They are walking. "How's the Bishop doing?" "Fine. He's bored these days. He told me that he hopes the Lord is teaching you to love through Eunha-ssi. That he hopes both of you finds peace with each other. By the way... he hasn't decided yet what to do with you. He's still trying to read your heart." "He's being too patient with me. But I'm sure of my decision. The only reason I couldn't tell Eunha yet is because she wants me to be a priest. But soon, both of us will desire the same thing. I'm pretty sure I know what Eunha wants." "I really hope so." ======================= Eunha is studying and she feels a chest pain. Andrea is observing the Church from the outside. Eunha is running outside, holding herself from vomiting. Andrea suddenly starts riding the bike back to Eunha's place. He finds her on the floor, unconscious. He takes her to the Hospital. Both Woojins are treating her. Andrea is holding Eunha's hand, in a prayerful position. Woojin is standing on the side, looking at them. ======================= Both Woojins are at the office. "She's getting worse," Woojin says. "No, she can't!" "She must be, otherwise how could you explain the strokes..." "No, it can't be!" Andrea stands up. "If she gets any worse, we can't even operate her." "If she continues like this, we won't be able to." "If we can't operate her... does that mean she'll die?" Woojin stands up, mad. "This is all your fault! You were supposed to take care of her, what have you done!" The secretary opens the door. "The results came out. But... doctor Jo Eunha is looking at it." ======================= Eunha examined herself through the computer monitor. "Surgery should be out of the question now." Woojin and Andrea breaks in. Woojin goes to the monitor, screaming at the other doctor: "I'm in charge here. Why do you show her this!!!" "Don't be like that. I'm sorry doctor Lee..." tells Eunha, standing up. Woojin grabs her arm. "Thank you..." Eunha takes Woojin's hands off her. "I can leave now, right?" Andrea is just standing there. ======================= Eunha has changed herself. Andrea enters. "I can't take the surgery, right?" she asks. Andrea hugs her. "I'll save you. No matter what, I will. You know I can't lie, right?" He looks at her eyes. "Whatever deal I have to make... I'll save you." "Don't talk like that, I'm afraid. Can you... take me to the Church?" ======================= Eunha is taking the Mass, covered with white veil. Andrea is sitting behind her, listening to his uncle's sermon: <<< Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father? The fire and wood are here, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?" Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son. >>> Andrea is thinking to himself, asking God in a demanding tone of voice: "Is Eunha the lamb offering you're asking from me? Is she the last offering you want from me?" ======================= Eunha and Andrea are sitting at the beach. "Let's get married." "What? ... What do you mean?" Eunha asks. "I gave up." "You gave up what?" "I gave up... my priesthood." "For me?" "I didn't want to worry you and I was afraid you'd run away again so I didn't tell you." "Because of me?" "No, because of me. I don't have the vocation to be a priest. No matter what I do, I couldn't stop my feelings towards you. Even without you, I can't be a priest. My anger and frustrations, my hypocricity... I showed Him all that. (Looking at her) I'm sorry Eunha-ya... for disappointing you." "No, you can't. You can't Andrea, please. I'm dying, you know that." "Eunha-ya." "Be a priest again, please. Do it for me. If you don't do that, I can't be at peace. I can't even leave in peace." "Marry me. I'll save you. So live with me." "I don't want to. I don't want anything that uncertain. I'm scared." "I'm afraid also. But I can't be a priest anymore." "He won't forgive. I'm afraid." "There's nothing else I can do now." "Andrea, please." "I must go now..." Andrea stands up and walks away, leaving Eunha sitting at the beach. Andrea is walking away. Eunha faints.

EPISODE 16
Andrea enters the Church looking upset. He walks up to the front, towards the altar. Looking up with closed fist, he demands God: "OK, is this the end of our trial? I've given up everything because I couldn't leave you, and is this the result? Do you want to make a deal? I'll do it. I'll do everything you want. So save Eunha!" (Eunha is in the respirator, unconscious. Woojin runs to her bed, alarmed. He examines her pulse.) "Let her live. Let her live!!! I'm the one who wronged you. Why are you making Eunha suffer? Why, Why? Why?!!!" Trembling, Andrea falls down on his knees. He's on a complete crawling position. He sits up, with bended knees, speaking weakly. "Please... save her. If you just save her, I'll do anything. I'll become a priest. I'll be a priest, so please let her live. I'll be a priest... (Crying) There are too many words I couldn't speak to Eunha~ too many things I couldn't do for her. Help me fulfill her desire... let me do the Sacrament of Extreme Unction for her... Please help me... (Closing his teary eyes, almost in a whisper) I'll be a priest. Please, let Eunha live." He continues bowing to God, and he remains kneeling, in a fetal position. ======================= Dr. Jung Woojin is watching over the unconscious Eunha at the hospital, holding her hands. Andrea enters the room. Woojin sees him, and madly drags him out of the room, pushing him against the wall. "Where have you been! Where were you!" "How's... Eunha?" "I thought she'd die. An hour ago, I thought she was dead. All night, I thought she'd die! I was waiting for you... What if she died while you're not here...? I was waiting for you! (shaking him)You bastard! Bastard! Bastard!" "How's Eunha?" "She's dying... She is... It could be at any minute, or in a week... I can't tell." Woojin is shaking his head. "I'll watch over her. When Eunha dies, I have to at least be there with her." Andrea tries to go inside the room but Woojin shakes him again: "Don't say that. Don't talk like that! Don't think those negative thoughts and look for a solution instead! Go to that 'great' God of yours and plead with Him, do that at least!!!" Andrea looks down... and he goes inside the room. ======================= Andrea is watching Eunha behind the respirator. He touches her head, whispering: "I am going... to protect you..." He wipes her arms with a towel. He continues watching her... He looks tired, leaning his head down towards her bed. When Woojin enters the room, he sees him like that. ======================= The Bishop and Sister Estelle are at the Hospital Hall, waiting for Andrea. The young man approaches them, bowing. The Nun tells him, "Woojin-ssi, Our Bishop wanted to see you." ======================= The Bishop and Andrea are sitting down. "I heard you haven't left the Hospital for a very long time. Aren't you tired?" "I can't leave... I can't let her die by herself while I'm not here." "Just because her body is here, that doesn't mean her spirit is here. (Looking at Andrea) Is there any chance that she could wake up?" "Even if she does... death will be awaiting her soon. I wish I could just let her go now..." "I heard of a possible surgery." "The chances of success is almost null... I don't want her to go through that." "Isn't it rather that you don't want to go through that?" "I can't bear to see her dying anymore. I've no courage." The Bishop stands up, irritated. "Look at this pitiful man! You're trying to run away from the most important thing in your life. You're so filled with self-pity you're trying to run away from your loved one. What do you mean then that you can't leave the Hospital because you have to watch over her? Where is she right now? (Andrea doesn't respond) You don't even know that and you're telling me you love her? (Andrea is looking down) You did well in giving up priesthood. Someone who can't expand the love one received by giving it away has no rights to be a priest." "I don't know... I really don't know. (He looks up to the Bishop) What am I supposed to do...? What can I do?" "When you decided to go for this love, didn't you know then?" "What am I supposed to know? I've wrestled with God... I even pleaded with Him... I've done everything I can." "Don't wrestle with God. Don't plead nor beg Him. Just go to Him and tell Him what you want to say. There must be something you really want to tell the Lord, isn't it so?" The young man closes his eyes... ======================= Andrea was going to enter Eunha's room but changing his mind, he walks away. Inside, Jung Woojin is standing next to the patient, looking down at her. "We haven't been alone like this for a pretty long time, right? I took very long performing a surgery... Wake up, you have to fight it..." There is a noise of doors. "Andrea..." Lee Woojin walks towards them, as if in a trance... and he faints. ======================= Woojin, with the help of his assistant, puts the unconscious Andrea on the passengers seat of his car. "Let's go to the Parish..." Changing his mind, Woojin tells his assistant: "No, let's go to my house." ======================= "Andrea..." Lady doctor sees Woojin holding the semi-conscious Andrea. "Woojin-ah..." "Oppa, what happened?" Yoori asks. ======================= They are at the mother's room. She is wiping the face of her unconscious son. Woojin sees that... and he slowly turns to go. "Woojin-ah..." the lady doctor calls her step son. "Oppa, where are you going this late?" Yoori asks. "I left Eunha by herself. I can't leave her alone. (Looking towards Andrea) I'm sure that the only one who could help him now... it's you, mother. Take good care of him." "Woojin-ah..." "I'm fine, mother." "OK..." Woojin leaves. Lady doctor looks down at her son. ======================= Lady doctor enters her room carrying a bowl of drink. Andrea is awake, sitting in the bed. "You're awake..." the lady speaks, sitting close to him. Her son looks uncomfortable, still confused. "I don't know where Eunha is... No matter how much I call her... she doesn't wake up. I don't think she's at the Hospital right now... Mother, you brought Eunha into my life... so you should know where she is now." "Andrea..." "Why did you come into my life...? (He is looking at her now) Why did you hold Eunha's hand and entered my life? If Eunha and you mother hadn't appeared... my life would have been very simple and good. All I had to do was to follow God..." "Andrea... Eunha is in a critical condition right now. That's why you shouldn't be like this. (Swallowing her tears) Even if she were to die now, you shouldn't be like this. You have to get stronger for her." "I don't want to... What's the point if she dies? Now... where can I find her? How could I live now?" "Eunha... she'd be in a place she likes the most. She would go to where she loves the most. That's why... she should be inside you. Let's face it now..." Shaking his head stubbornly: "No, I don't want to." Lady doctor reaches towards her son's right hand but he tries to pull it away. With a tear falling down her eyes, the lady holds the hand that is trying to escape her... Sitting closer to him, not letting go of that hand... she embraces him... The young 'boy' doesn't know what to do anymore. "What do you want from me now...?" he asks. "Your mom doesn't want anything from you..." Caressing her son's head: "Your mom just loves you, that's all... I love you, Andrea." She is padding his back. "I knew it... I knew this feeling was not hate... I knew it all along," says Andrea, a tear falling from his eyes. "I knew this was deep love... and longing... I knew it." He embraces her back, closing his eyes. ======================= Andrea enters the Church, still thinking of Eunha. He walks towards the altar. "I haven't come to you with a request, not anymore. What I wanted to tell you... what I wanted to lay down before you... is that I love you Lord... yes, I love you... again and again, I love you. I'm going to accept the love you showed me through the things of this world, through mother and through Eunha. (He kneels down before the altar, bowing down...) That's why, I surrender myself into Your care. Not my will... but yours be done..." (Eunha's body is shaking... coughing. Woojin and other doctors are running to her room.) The young 'priest' continues praying.

Andrea walks outside the Church, breathing the fresh air, feeling at peace. He hesitates before opening the door of Eunha's room... and he enters. He sees Eunha is sitting down, eating. She looks up to him, smiling. He slowly walks towards her. "Seeing your expression, I can tell I've been sleeping for a long time..." Andrea smiles. "Yes..." "They say the arteries stopped coagulating. I could have the surgery. (She looks at Andrea's clothes) You're still not going to fulfill my wish...? Aren't you going to do the Sacrament of Extreme Unction for me?" Andrea holds her hands, kneeling next to her. He smiles. "I'll do it." Eunha smiles back. "Thank you." ======================= The young 'lovers' are sitting at the beach, holding each other's arms. "Are you going to see the Catholic Committee tomorrow?" "Yes," Andrea answers. "When I see you after the meeting, dressed in the priest's soutane... will I be relieved or... sad?" "Once I see you... I think I'll be sad..." "I'm sorry... If I wasn't sick, I wouldn't let you go." "You shouldn't have." "What if I never met you?" "It that case... I don't think I could have become a priest." "Thank you..." She's looking at the waves of the sea. "I think today will be the last time we can hold our hands like this." He looks at her hands. "Your hands are so pretty." "Your hands are prettier." He caresses her cheeks. "Your cheeks are really pretty too." "Everything in you is pretty," Eunha says, smiling. "Live... live and be merry." She nods her head, while he continues looking at her eyes. Slowly... the man draws closer to the woman's face... She closes her eyes... They kiss. ======================= Andrea is putting on the neck-tie in front of a mirror. Eunha watches him do it. "Now you do it well." "I didn't want to depend on you so I practiced really hard." "I hope they forgive you at the Committee." He looks at her smiling. "They'll forgive me, don't worry. Wait for me." "I'll be waiting for you." ======================= At the Catholic Committee. "I have loved a woman. No, I still love her," Andrea is speaking as the Bishop and other members listen. "That's why I tried to give up my priesthood. But now, because of this same love, I want to be a priest again. I want to fulfill the wish of that woman. I grew up not knowing what love is. That's why I feel I took this road, to learn the true meaning of love. I believe now that God taught me the true meaning of love through this one woman. That's why I want to become a priest, in order to expand this love to others, and give it away. Please forgive my rebellion and take me back..." "We've heard your position," says the Bishop. "So now, wait outside until we come out with a decision." ======================= Eunha is sitting next to Woojin, outside the house, facing the beach. "I'm a shameless woman. And a lucky one too. I can't believe I've received such an overwhelming love from a guy like you..." "Yes... You're really lucky..." "Andrea and I... We've been so busy looking at each other... So busy being with each other and thinking of each other... that we wouldn't notice anything in front of us, or on our backs, nor on our sides... We wouldn't look at anything else. That's why I never really saw you..." "Did you at least noticed I was standing beside you?" "Yes... I'm sorry... for so long... But you must know I tried... So now, you too..." "I won't. So don't waste your time trying to persuade me. My feelings belong to me. (Looking at her) Live. Don't think of dying, and do survive. Regardless of Andrea becoming a priest or not, you have to survive." Eunha nods... ======================= Andrea is praying on his knees in a room near the Committee. The Bishop comes to see him... ======================= Eunha is waiting, walking back and forth. She goes to the beach, looking at the waves. "Eunha-ya!" She turns around and sees Andrea wearing the soutane, smiling at her. The wind blows, and the sea waves become intertwined with both their hairs. They both return each other's smile, still confused at the direction the winds is blowing, and yet, letting themselves be carried away. ======================= Andrea is getting ordained. "Lee Woojin, Andrea!" they call him and he comes out, bowing to a High Priest, who holds his hands and blesses him. Andrea is been sworn into a life of celibacy and priesthood. After the prayer is over, the 'new' priest stands up, bowing to the High Priest. He then lies down flat on the floor, a tear dropping from his eyes... ======================= Both Woojins are sitting round a small table, going through the surgery procedures. Andrea is examining the files left by the diseased doctor Jung. "He was the best in this field," explains Jung Woojin. "And this must have been his way of repaying for his wrongs." "How could I ever repay for my wrongs?" asks Andrea. "I'm the one who must repay. I'm the one who opposed him. His death too... it was my doing." Andrea smiles, and he continues studying the files. "This would be as if we were taking the professor's class, finally... Anyhow... Eunha is really weak, critically." "I'm afraid to operate her. I'm even scared of receiving the phone call telling me of the schedule. (Looking at Andrea) You're aware it's almost hopeless, right?" "Don't say that." They look down. "Who... should lead the surgery?" "I'll do it... I can't entrust this to you," Jung Woojin says. "Thank you..." ======================= Woojin receives the phone call telling him that the surgery schedule came up. He tells Eunha over the phone. She tells him she's all packed to go. "I'll be there tomorrow morning. No, you don't have to come, Andrea will come tonight. Yes, since this will be my last night, I'll take it easy. Thank you, see you tomorrow Woojin-ah." Eunha hangs up the phone, looking at her luggage... She touches the cross necklace. ======================= Andrea sees Eunha sweeping the patio. "Why don't you ask me to do this?" says Andrea taking the broom away from her. "I'm doing a thorough house-cleaning." "Did you... get a phone call from the Hospital?" "Yes," Eunha smiles. "They told me to go there tomorrow morning. You'll take me there, right?" "Are you afraid?" "No, not at all. Why should I be? You're going to be there with me." "Yes." "Have dinner with me tonight. I prepared dinner for you." "Sea Food Stew?" He smiles. ======================= Andrea is eating and Eunha is just watching him. "You can't eat. Then you shouldn't have cooked, so that I can fast with you." "I can't let you fast. Tomorrow... you're going to save me." Andrea just looks at her, stunned. "I won! I wanted to awestruck you with my comment so that you stop eating." "Yes... aren't you glad?" "I am. And do you want me to tell you something even more shocking? Could you... sleep here tonight?" Andrea just looks at her. "This will be my last night at this house, so I don't want to sleep by myself." "Yes..." "Thank you." She keeps on smiling. "And you're wrong. What do you mean that today's your last day? You'll be back after getting the surgery." "Yes..." "Do you want me to tell you something shocking too?" "What is it?" "Actually... I brought change of clothes for tonight." They both smile. ======================= Eunha and Andrea are laying down next to each other, covered by separate blankets. Both of them are looking towards the roof. "Andrea... are you sleeping?" "No..." "Can you hold my hands?" He holds it, bringing it close to himself. "Get along with Woojin, without fighting. Call doctor and Yoori often. Father Pedro... Sister Jemma... Ms. Maria... you have to take very good care of them. Make sure they're well. And once in a while... can you go visit my parent's tomb? And..." "Stop... Why do you talk like that? As if you wouldn't be with us anymore?" "I just thought... If I leave without telling you... you might regret it. I don't want you to feel bad because you didn't know what I wanted. Honestly... the chances that I survive the operation... that would be short of a miracle. (She turns her face towards Andrea) Let's talk as a doctor to another doctor." "Both of us, let's try our best, then it'll be fine." "Let's say... let's say the surgery is successful and the miracle happens and I survive... Once I wake up... would I trouble you again?" "Eunha-ya..." "No, don't answer." Andrea turns his face towards Eunha. "Survive, you have to. Do it for me." "OK. But when I wake up, you have to be there by my side." "OK..." "Can I ask you for one more thing? Become a good priest~ for me. And when we go to another world, look for me." "Yes, I'll look for you. Even if you've become the smallest of all dust... I'll find you again." The hands tighten. Tears are silently falling down both pairs of eyes, but they refuse to look at each other. =======================

Eunha is laying at the Hospital bed. Andrea is dressed in priest's ceremonial robe, holding his hands to bless her. Eunha closes her eyes. "I confess..." "Eunha-ya..." Andrea calls her. "Andrea... I've been lying all along. Actually, I'm really scared of dying." "Me too, I'm scared." "No, I'm even more scared... to survive. I fear that I may survive and make you sin again. I'm scared..." "Look at me. Is our love sin? To love is not sin... I thought we agreed upon that?" "Alright. Now... let me greet other people as well..." Andrea stops smiling. "It's not because I think I'll die... I just want to greet them..." "OK..." ======================= Other people fill up the hospital room. One by one, they come to see her. Eunha greets them individually, smiling at them. "Doctor, I thank you." "Yes, be strong," says the lady doctor. "Father Pedro..." He holds her hand. "I'll pray that you may find peace and comfort..." "Sister Jemma..." "I love you Eunha-ya..." "Ms. Maria..." Whispering: "I trust in you, so fight it." "Yoori-ya..." "I love you, Unni..." "Woojin-ah... I thank you." "Don't say it, I won't listen. Tell me after the surgery." "Yes." "Andrea... (Smiling big) Woojin-ah." The young priest holds her hand. "I'm sorry," she says, closing her eyes, a tear escaping her... Prayerfully, to God, out loud: "I thank you for letting me love. Now, so that he could learn to love more than this, I'll return him to you." She opens her eyes as Andrea contains his emotions... The young priest is pouring the blessed water over Eunha's bed while Eunha continues saying farewell in her heart, silently: "Farewell! Doctor, you were my guardian and the one who gave Andrea to me. I'm really grateful for that, thank you. (Andrea continues with the Sacrament of Extreme Unction) And farewell Father Pedro, Sister Jemma, Ms. Maria... you've been my parents. The 3 of you took care of me in my times of need while I was still growing up. Good-bye, Woojin-ah. I thank you for being so very patient with me, for so long. You gave me lots of heart-aches, but you've been a loving and faithful friend to me. (She looks at Andrea. He has closed his eyes, containing a tear) And Lord... I have loved your little lamb... (Eunha is being transferred into the operation room) That's why I had to hide that love by myself, for such a long time. I suffered much, and I've been in pain... But I've also been truly happy because of that love. Good-bye, Andrea... my dear priest." ======================= The surgery is about to begin. Andrea speaks up, behind his face mask. "This surgery will follow doctor Jung MyungWoo's methods." They begin. Jung Woojin asks for the surgical knife, ready to cut... but he can't. Andrea holds his friend's hand, giving him courage. Woojin proceeds... they're working arduously with the scissors and knives, blood pouring out, sweating. They are looking at the monitor, anguish written in their faces. A tear drops down Andrea's eyes... ======================= "Let us all love one another." Andrea is giving a speech, wearing the soutane. "Let us love all we can. Love is the goal of our lives. We've been born to love, to understand each other's need for love and to love one another. Although many times we are deceived by the things that surround us, we can only fulfill the purpose of our existence as we learn to love our neighbors. If we could learn to really love one another, wars might cease. (People are listening to him... people from different nationalities and skin colors) Prejudice and racism would end also. We should all strive towards that goal. This prize is very meaningful to me. Actually, I don't deserve this prize but I'll receive it as an expression of your love towards me and I'll treasure it in my heart. And I would like to share this prize with every living being all over the world. Thank you." He bows as people clap. ======================= Andrea walks outside the building, holding a bunch of flowers. Yoori and his mother are waiting outside. Yoori gives him another bunch. "Congratulations," says the mother. "I thought you would never win a prize... but you've won such a nice one." "If Woojin Oppa were in Korea, he would be jealous again," says Yoori with her hands. "I think so too," Andrea answers, walking down the stairs. "How's Woojin doing?" "Well... Why don't you ask him directly?" "We call from time to time, but we only talk about work. Last time, he told me he's moving to another country." "Yes, I heard that too." "Oppa, when are you going back to the Church?" his sister asks. "After I finish some errands here. Why?" "Don't go too late. A nice surprise might be waiting for you there." "Nice surprise? What? What is it mother?" "It's a secret." They laugh. ======================= Andrea has arrived at the Parish and sees Sister Estelle taking a walk with the children. They all greet him. The Nun congratulates him for the prize and tells him that a surprise is waiting for him. "Don't ask me what it is, it's a secret," she says, as she leaves. Two teenage girls run up to him. "Mr. Priest!" They call him in unison. They bow to him, giving him something. "What is this?" he asks, examining it. "She likes you, Mr. Priest," says one of the girls. "A love letter? Let's see... OK, I'll go out with you. But only if you don't miss Mass for 10 years from now. (Looking with a half severe expression) You girls skip it daily, don't you?" "No, that's not true!" they scream at once, running away. Andrea laughs. He continues walking and he sees... "Woojin-ah!" Woojin is smiling a big smile, walking towards the priest. "Wow, you've become a sly priest already!" "Jung Woojin!" "Father Andrea!" They hug, smiling. "I missed you." "Yes, it's been so long!" ======================= Both Woojins are taking a public bath together. "Hey, you're too skinny," tells Woojin, looking at Andrea. "Is priesthood such a hard job?" "You too, you're too skinny." Woojin laughs. "Wow, I feel great! You don't know how much I've been missing this down there." "Same here. Do you remember we used to go bathing together?" "We did. We were really closed back then." "We were. Now that time past, I can only remember the good times together. Isn't it tough down there?" "You see, even the weakling Jo Eunha... (he stops) she endured for 2 years. I must do it for at least 20 years." "It must be tough. But I'm very proud of you." "You like me now?" "I do." "Then Eunha must like me too. I feel like we must strive to live as best we can. (He looks at Andrea) We must do that for Eunha." "Yes, that's right... let's do that." Jung Woojin splashes water at Lee Woojin, playing. ======================= They are walking outside. "Are you sure you have to go? Why don't you stay for dinner?" "I've got to have dinner with mother and Yoori. I'm only here for a few days." "Then you just came to take a bath with me and leave?" "Yes, I came to bathe with you. Actually, I've a favor to ask you." He takes a bunch of flowers from his car and hands it to Andrea. "I wanted to give it personally to Eunha, but I've no courage. You give it to her for me. I brought it from South America. As I was cutting it, I thought of her a lot. The scent is gone... but you give it to her for me." "Don't you... want to do it yourself?" Woojin shakes his head. "OK. I couldn't go today, but I'll go tomorrow." "You still see her every day? You're really amazing. I don't think I could just see her like that... I'm leaving. I don't know if I could get to see you again before I leave." They shake hands. "Take good care of Eunha." "Woojin-ah. You've always been my friend. Am I... still your friend?" Woojin smiles big: "That's right." ======================= Andrea goes to the house at the beach, with the flowers that Woojin have given him. He looks at the unconscious woman, putting the flowers on top of her. He sits down, looking at her with a tender smile. "You look pretty today too. Woojin came to Korea for a couple of days. He must want to see you a lot, but I couldn't bring him. He said he's not ready to see you. How do you feel today? Does it hurt?" The young priest on his soutane, he is wiping Eunha's arms and face with a wet towel. He walks to the other side of the bed, doing the same thing. "You're quieter than usual... Aren't you... ever going to wake up? I'm trying hard to fulfill my promise to you, that I'll be by your side when you wake up. Is it because you're afraid of putting me in a hard spot that you're not waking up? I should have told you back then, when you asked me what I'd do if you wake up. I should have given you an answer. If you awake... let's... love again, OK?" The Sea Wind is blowing hard outside. Andrea is sleeping at the side of Eunha's bed, holding one of her hands. Like Sleeping Beauty, the girl wakes up... and she touches Andrea's hair. He opens his eyes, startled. "Woojin-ah..." she smiles. "Yes... Eunha-ya..." He holds her hand very tightly to himself with both his hands. Andrea's Voice (when he was a Boy): <<<God, if you want to save us, let a new rope fall from the sky. But if you rather not save us, let a rotten rope fall from the sky instead. Then, God sent a new rope from the sky. And the 2 children climbed up through the new rope and went up to Heaven. (Andrea is wheeling Eunha to the sea shores, surrounded by rocks and green vegetation, looking at the open Sea and the blue Sky.) Then the brother became the Sun and the sister the Moon. And they lived happily ever after, shining their lights into the world... THE END
