WEBVTT 00:11.116 --> 00:15.120 NOTES FROM THE LAST ROW 00:18.498 --> 00:19.999 Are you suggesting 00:20.834 --> 00:22.544 that I should fabricate the truth? 00:22.627 --> 00:25.255 - What? Where'd you get that? - We don't have evidence. 00:25.755 --> 00:28.675 You want me to pretend I saw Mr. Kim kill Min-hui. 00:29.175 --> 00:31.719 I wasn't at the hospital. I didn't see anyone or observe-- 00:31.803 --> 00:33.304 Enough! Just shut your mouth! 00:35.181 --> 00:37.809 You weren't at the hospital, but you know what happened there. 00:38.643 --> 00:41.229 It's not lying if you know the truth. 00:41.312 --> 00:44.816 And the truth is, Su-hun went to meet the letter-writer. 00:44.899 --> 00:46.734 He basically admitted to committing the crime 00:46.818 --> 00:49.821 when he showed up to discuss the security footage. 00:49.904 --> 00:50.989 That's what counts. 00:51.072 --> 00:53.867 And you were at the park to witness that yourself, Lee Kang! 00:58.204 --> 01:00.748 Hey. Why are you so quiet? 01:04.169 --> 01:07.046 Because I wouldn't be writing about my own experience. 01:07.130 --> 01:09.591 This would be the opposite of what you've been telling me. 01:09.674 --> 01:13.303 All this time you've been teaching me, you said a writer must be objective, 01:13.386 --> 01:15.597 that we have to depict reality as it is. 01:15.680 --> 01:18.933 This is real, and you can write it. 01:19.434 --> 01:22.228 You're not concocting evidence or lying. 01:22.729 --> 01:25.732 You're just taking a little creative license to round out the story. 01:25.815 --> 01:26.858 That's all. 01:26.941 --> 01:29.027 Artistic liberty is not fraud. 01:29.110 --> 01:30.778 You don't need the whole truth. 01:30.862 --> 01:34.073 This is when a writer needs to decide if this truth is important. 01:36.534 --> 01:38.119 I don't know, Professor. 01:39.495 --> 01:41.581 What's the point of putting that out there? 01:41.664 --> 01:43.416 The world needs this story. 01:44.083 --> 01:46.461 Kim Su-hun has gotten away with murder. 01:47.962 --> 01:50.298 An author has a duty to go where the story leads. 01:52.342 --> 01:53.176 I know. 01:54.677 --> 01:56.095 But I'm afraid I can't. 01:56.596 --> 01:59.974 I don't have the energy to finish it. I'm too worried about my dad. 02:03.019 --> 02:05.396 He's not doing so great, and he really needs me. 02:06.648 --> 02:09.692 Would you mind being the one who puts the final touches on the story? 02:09.776 --> 02:11.236 You mean, I would write it? 02:12.445 --> 02:16.115 Why wouldn't you? I'm not the author here. Come on! 02:16.199 --> 02:18.743 But you are an author, a published one. 02:20.245 --> 02:22.622 Please do this or it'll never get finished. 02:23.122 --> 02:24.540 I'm begging you, sir. 02:25.458 --> 02:27.001 Finish my story.
