:03:03
Now that you're here
I can expIain everything.

:03:06
For many years, your father had wanted...
:03:09
...to rebuiId the schooIhouse...
:03:12
...but there were aIways reasons
we couIdn't.

:03:15
He brought it up again recentIy,
and the viIIage agreed.

:03:23
We had the materiaIs we needed,
but not enough money.

:03:26
Your father's mind was made up.
:03:29
He began traveIIing around,
trying to borrow money.

:03:33
He went aII over the county.
:03:35
If he thought there was a chance,
he'd go after it.

:03:39
On the Iast trip, on his way home...
:03:42
...he ran into a heavy snowstorm.
:03:45
He was stuck in the storm and he got sick.
:03:47
He was too sick to be moved.
:03:50
He was in bad shape when he got back,
so we took him to the hospitaI.

:03:55
They examined him
and found that he had a heart probIem.

:03:59
We've known your dad aII these years...
:04:01
...but never knew he had a heart condition.
:04:04
They tried saving him, but it was no use.
:04:07
Your father then passed away.
:04:11
-Where is my father now?
-In the provinciaI hospitaI morgue.

:04:16
We have been waiting for you to return
to discuss this with you.

:04:21
Last time I spoke with him,
he seemed fine.

:04:25
He had gotten oIder, pIus the bad storm.
:04:28
At his age, it was too much for him.
:04:32
It wouId have been hard on anyone.
:04:34
The heavy snowstorm
was too much to handIe.

:04:38
The viIIage intends to arrange a car
to bring your father back...

:04:44
...back here to bury him in the viIIage.
:04:50
That's what we pIanned.
:04:53
That's fine. Go ahead.
:04:56
But there is a probIem.
:04:58
Your mother doesn't want to use a car.
