Park Ok-ran (Kim Shin-jae) has been monitoring the neighborhood of the owner of a pawnshop, named Min-ka, who killed his father five years ago with Song (Choe Dong-san). Min-ka, who does not notice that it is his daughter, Seon-hui who comes to pawn her jewelry, tries to rape her. A young man named Gyeong-il (Choe In-gyu), who happens to pass the shop, saves her, and hides with her in a nearby warehouse. She actually has just returned with her mother after the liberation of Korea, whom Min-ka had expelled long ago. Gyeong-il has also arrived in Korea to meet his elder sister after liberation. Song tries to tie Seon-hui and Gyeong-il up, but Ok-ran releases her saying that she is not the enemy, but Min-ka. Ok-ran also happens to find out that Gyeong-il is her brother by listening to their conversation in secret. Seon-hui, who has noticed that the man was her father, weeps as she looks at him.
