Accessible transcript

S02E09-P01
Hye-rin sits at the community-room table and speaks to Go. Two elders sit behind the letter drawer; a folded paper rests on the table.
Hye-rin: Take the spare. Someone may need it.

S02E09-P01B
At the house, Go wraps an unlit cream paper lantern in patchwork cloth above her open bag on a low table. A rectangular wall warmer glows on the left. A separate brass lantern stands beside the empty cabinet bay.
(Silent.)

S02E09-P02
Haneul walks ahead up a snowy village lane towards a small storehouse. Go follows with a brass lantern in her right hand and a brown bag on her left shoulder. Tiny Bit walks at Go's feet.
(Silent.)

S02E09-P03
An open wooden doorway looks downhill over snowy village roofs. An intact brass Bell hangs from its crown loop on one wall bracket above a wooden bench. Its blue cord rests in a loose coil on the bench.
(Silent.)

S02E09-P04
Close view of two matching red ribbed scarves: one over Haneul's open teal coat and grey wrap jacket, the other beside a charcoal coat. The second person's face is outside the frame.
(Silent.)

S02E09-P05
Bit stops below the stone porch step, ears lowered and mouth slightly open, with four paws on the ground and one pale-gold-tipped tail. A brown boot is visible above.
Bit: Haneul...

S02E09-P06
Over Haneul's shoulder, a woman with a lined face, silver temples and a low bun turns towards her. She wears the matching red scarf and a charcoal coat. The intact Bell and its slack cord remain behind her.
(Silent.)

S02E09-P07
Haneul stares towards the woman, one hand resting on the wooden doorframe. Her grey wrap jacket shows beneath her open teal coat.
Haneul: Mum?

S02E09-P08
Mi-rae faces Haneul with a worried expression and clasped hands, away from the hanging Bell. The blue cord still rests slack on the bench.
Mi-rae: You shouldn't be here.

S02E09-P09
Haneul remains at the doorway on the left, her hand on the jamb. Mi-rae stands apart on the right. Their matching red scarves frame the bench and the stationary Bell between their positions.
Haneul: Eighteen years. And that's what you say?

S02E09-P10
Mi-rae looks down towards the grey crossover jacket visible beneath Haneul's open teal coat. Haneul watches her; both remain apart.
Mi-rae: I wanted you to have a life of your own.

S02E09-P11
Haneul keeps her hand on the ordinary wooden jamb and looks towards Mi-rae as she speaks. Her grey wrap jacket and red scarf remain visible.
Haneul: Was forgetting supposed to give me one?

S02E09-P12
Mi-rae lowers her gaze towards the red scarf around her neck. Her lined face looks tired and distressed.
Mi-rae: Go home, Haneul. Please.
