(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
You met Seon Ho that night?
Yes.
(You're disgusting. Just die already.)
(Make sure to clean your stench before you die.)
(Did your mom run off with the settlement money?)
(Bye. Have fun dying. Let's never meet again.)
(Don't hurt yourself. Kill yourself.)
(Get cancer.)
(Die, die, die.)
(Kill yourself now.)
Dong Hee.
Dong Hee!
Are you going home?
How about you?
I'm on my way to meet someone.
I see.
I'm glad I ran into you.
Have you read this?
- No. - Give it a try.
I've read it three times,
and each time it feels different.
I'll read and give it back to you as soon as possible.
I bought it for you.
For me?
Yes. You seem to like reading.
Thanks.
Also...
Take this.
It gives you energy when you feel tired.
Take it.
Take care.
Okay.
You know what?
If you're brave enough to kill yourself, you can do anything.
So you must live.
You are not a ghost.
Those kids who trample down on you, just because you're weaker...
they are ghosts.
Don't give in.
You can't give in.
See you at school tomorrow.
Okay.
Seon Ho said...
"See you at school tomorrow"?
Yes.
Honey.
Give me your phone.
Are you stupid? Why did you put up with it?
Why did you consider dying?
Do you think they'll feel guilty if you die?
Nothing will change. You would have died for nothing.
Dong Soo.
I can ignore the kids.
Then why did you think of dying?
Did they hit you or threaten you?
Why did you want to die?
Dong Soo.
I hated everything.
I hated being poor,
and I was so scared Dad would get drunk and beat us again.
I hated that Mom had abandoned us.
I hated myself the most for being a burden to you and Seon Ho.
I'm a ghost anyway.
Dead or alive, I'm a ghost.
I thought I'd be better off dead.
That's stupid.
Why are you a burden to me?
If you say that...
If you're like this...
You're being so stupid.
This is crazy.
Dong Soo.
Let's talk.
Stay out of it.
You can't let your emotions take over.
Where will you go?
To beat them up.
I know who and where they are.
I'll beat them to death...
and make sure they never bother Dong Hee again.
I should've done that long ago.
What about afterward?
What then?
What am I supposed to do then?
That's all I can do for her.
What should I do?
You can listen.
You can listen to Dong Hee.
What will that change?
I can't listen to my son now even if I want to.
I could've listened but I missed the opportunity to.
Do you know how much I regret that?
Dong Hee described how she feels for the first time.
If you do what you want because you're angry,
it'll only make her feel worse.
You'll crush her even more.
Saying something is hard instead of saying she's okay...
means she's showing courage.
Just listen to her,
hug her, and comfort her.
You can do that.
But that won't solve anything.
What you can't do...
doesn't mean an adult can do it.
Humans are all weak.
We all suffer because of what we can't do.
Do what you can right now.
Do what you can right this moment.
I missed out on my opportunity,
but you still have yours.
(Group chat room)
(She makes me want to puke.)
(You should just die.)
(Suicide instead of hurting yourself. Got it?)
Are these kids from your previous school?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell anyone about this?
Because it's obvious what'll happen.
It'll only make things worse for Dong Soo.
I once lived with only my sister.
I was during the winter, in ninth grade.
My dad had died...
and Mom just disappeared.
Leaving my sister and me.
People said she had abandoned us. But I didn't believe that...
because I believed Mom.
I thought she'd be back before I woke up,
or before I got back from school.
Each day went by.
My mom returned three years later.
At first, our relatives...
showed us pity and helped us out.
They bought us rice...
and gave us money.
But that didn't last long.
They were so afraid they'd end up...
having to take us in.
In the end,
my sister and I had to survive.
That's when I knew the saying...
"it's all okay as long as you feel rich inside" is a lie.
You can't say that if you've been dirt-poor before.
There were times when I thought...
I'd be better off dead.
But...
because of my sister... No.
Thanks to my sister, I survived.
Others said it must be hard looking after her,
that my sister is the reason I can't give up.
They were wrong. It's not that I couldn't give up.
My sister was the reason I managed to get through it.
She's overly optimistic and cheerful.
Dong Soo will feel the same.
He gets through each day because of you.
That's why he's so angry.
Because you don't get how he feels.
You're not a burden to him.
It would be hard on his own,
but he can manage because of you.
Why are you a burden to Seon Ho?
You are a friend he could talk to.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
You don't know how much courage you gave me.
Thank you so much.
No.
Seon Ho got on Joon Seok's bad side because of me.
I knew it but pretended not to.
I'm sorry to tell you now.
What do you mean?
He got on Joon Seok's bad side?
Seon Ho stood up for me and Joon Seok hated him for it.
That's when...
Joon Seok started to bully Seon Ho.
Joon Seok never lets it show around the other kids.
He watches from a distance and controls the others.
Captain America enters.
Do you want a new character?
Shall we go back to Sha Wujing?
I'm not Sha Wujing!
Let go!
You idiot. How dare you?
Seon Ho.
Here.
My private tutor picked out some expected questions for me.
I don't need it.
You're not good at mathematics. I'm sure it'll help.
Joon Seok is so nice.
I'm so jealous.
You can have it.
Really?
Joon Seok acted nice to him around everyone else.
But he secretly manipulated the guys from behind...
and made Seon Ho become a loner.
He even made up rumors.
Joon Seok is rich,
and he also gets good grades.
So the guys always praised him...
and did everything he told them to do.
But...
Seon Ho was different.
If Joon Seok did something wrong,
he told them that it was wrong.
That's probably why Joon Seok didn't like Seon Ho.
He hurt Joon Seok's pride.
Is it possible for him to manipulate the other kids?
He is only 16.
How is that even possible?
I know...
how evil kids can be.
I already dealt with them once.
Stop it! Please stop!
I'm not Sha Wujing! I'm not Sha Wujing!
Darn it.
You jerk! You stupid jerk!
Hey, stop it.
I'm not Sha Wujing! This is a game!
- This is just a game! - I said, stop it!
Are you high on something?
This guy is... He's completely nuts.
You told me to make it fun.
I was already having fun, but you completely ruined it.
It's time to go to the academy.
Let's go. If we're late, our math teacher will call our moms.
Should we skip the academy?
Do you want to get beaten up by your dad too?
I don't care. I'll report him if he beats me up this time.
You should. It'll be fun.
We'll be late. Let's hurry up and go.
The math teacher saved your life.
Are you okay?
Don't you think you guys are taking things a bit too far?
3 against 1 is a bit too mean.
You should take a shower before you go to the academy.
Why are you doing this to me?
- Do what? - I know you made them do this.
Hey, guys.
Did I make you do this?
Are you guys my henchmen or something?
You're not, right?
Of course, we're not.
You heard that, right?
Why did you change so much?
You're the one who changed.
Hierarchy exists even among friends.
How dare you give me advice when you're nothing but a baker's son?
You crazy jerk.
Da Hee is mine.
And if you tell anyone about what happened today,
Soo Ho will end up joining the game.
You'd better keep what I said in mind.
And don't act up from now on.
This is all because of you.
You made this happen.
Joon Seok.
(The Angel and the Devil)
It contains an interesting conversation.
What do you mean you know everything?
What does Da Hee's leave have anything to do with me?
What do you think I did to her?
- Do you really not know? - I'm asking because I don't know!
Da Hee tried to kill herself because of you!
It's me.
Seon Ho...
called Da Hee numerous times that day.
By any chance, did anything peculiar happen between them?
No, not exactly. But...
But what?
I'm not quite sure of this though.
It's okay. Please tell me.
Joon Seok was never interested in Da Hee.
But after he fell out with Seon Ho,
he started being nice to her.
Are you saying...
Joon Seok did that on purpose...
so he could harass Seon Ho?
That's what it seemed like.
Are you sure you'll be okay...
even if we tell the police about what you told us today?
Even if we tell them to be careful, things might become uncomfortable.
People will speak and judge according to their own situation,
so it might affect you negatively.
You have it hard as it is.
I'm worried that things will get even harder.
Things were harder to bear when I acted like I didn't know anything.
Okay, thank you.
I won't tell the police if you're against it.
You heard what Dong Hee said.
Do you even think it'll work though?
Her testimony can't exactly act as evidence.
They might not even believe what she says.
But you do.
You, Dong Hee, and my family...
believe it.
That's enough.
If we don't give up and continue to fight,
we'll eventually be able to find a piece of evidence or a witness.
I hope you really do.
Catch the culprit before the cops do...
and lock him up in a dungeon for the rest of his life.
Give him nothing but water.
Make him wish that he was dead.
Don't go easy on him because he's a minor.
Don't say that.
Don't starve him to death.
Feed him fried dumplings for the rest of his life.
Just like in the movie "Oldboy".
You should go.
Dong Soo.
Let me handle the kids who bullied Dong Hee.
She's my sister.
I'll take care of it.
You're my student.
And Dong Hee is a friend of Seon Ho.
You're a student, and I'm a teacher.
You should go to school.
I'm on vacation, remember?
Is that like a dad joke?
It was supposed to be touching. Was it funny to you?
I'll talk to Dong Hee's former homeroom teacher tomorrow.
Don't worry about it and just get to school.
I'll talk to you when I'm done.
Sure.
Now go.
You go first.
All right.
Teacher!
Be...
Be strong.
I won't do it again.
Never.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing? Come inside.
Who came by?
Joon Seok.
He stopped by after his academy.
I really wanted to just scold him.
But I couldn't.
He seemed really depressed, and he kept apologizing.
I couldn't stay angry at him.
The kids who actually beat up Seon Ho didn't even apologize.
But Joon Seok seemed really sorry about it.
And I felt bad for him.
In Ha, what's going on?
We should move to a different hospital.
Why would you do that?
This isn't a place for Seon Ho.
Why all of a sudden?
I'll explain later.
In Ha!
Why did you visit Seon Ho...
without telling me?
I just wanted to.
Were you there by yourself?
Yes.
Did Seon Ho's mom say something to you?
She wasn't there.
Right. She wanted to talk to you.
About what?
She said she will tell you in person.
I'm sure it's about Gi Chan.
What?
Were you okay with it?
With what?
Seeing Seon Ho.
It must have been difficult.
Did you want me to feel that way?
Why would you say that?
You still don't believe me, right?
You think it wasn't an accident, right?
That's enough.
Your dad is home.
Just be angry at me, would you?
Yell at me and tell me I'm a bad person!
You're always spying on me and suspecting me.
You drive me insane.
I feel like I'm being punished every day.
It's suffocating.
You can't even endure that?
You're right.
I don't completely believe you as you said.
So what, do you want me not to ask you any questions?
Do you want me to not do anything because you feel suffocated?
Do you think I have a choice?
I'm a human being just like you!
I'm confused, anxious,
and I'm having a hard time too.
I prayed every day for that to be an accident.
I prayed for forgiveness...
because what I did was for my son.
Because you're all I have.
Because I want to protect you no matter the price.
Please...
don't act like this.
I'm can't keep going...
if you keep acting like this.
I didn't ask for this.
It was your choice.
What are you doing?
What are you standing there for?
It's nothing.
Are you going somewhere at this hour?
I need to take care of some stuff.
Is it urgent?
It won't take long.
Also,
we should send Joon Seok to study in England.
What do you mean?
You should go with him for about a year.
And try to cool down.
- Honey... - I'll tell you the details later.
(Seah Middle School)
What brings you here?
I heard Joon Seok came by to the hospital.
Right, I told him that you wanted to talk to him.
He must have remembered it.
He never told me he was going.
So I wasn't able to call you beforehand.
Is he home?
Yes. Why don't you take a seat first?
Here.
Do you want something?
Some hot tea?
No, I'm fine.
I'll call Joon Seok.
A bit later.
I want to talk to you first.
What's this about?
(Forensics)
(Kangho Police Station)
Come on.
Get out.
Detective Park.
I have something to say.
Later.
It won't take long.
Don't you see what's going on?
If it's about your son, go to Women and Teenagers Department.
It's something I must say to you.
I'm not free right now.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Hi, Joon Ha.
What do you want to say?
Did you...
know from the start?
What do you mean?
That Joon Seok's the ringleader.
Did you know all along?
It's about Gi Chan.
I thought you'd get the wrong idea...
and considered calling you.
It's not true.
I'm not here because of what Gi Chan said.
Then what?
Who would say such nonsense?
Who told me...
doesn't matter.
It matters to me.
You got the wrong idea about my son.
You say I have the wrong idea,
but I don't.
Joon Seok isn't a bystander.
He manipulated others to bully Seon Ho.
Don't jump to conclusions without proof based on stories.
I know I can't prove anything...
without evidence.
The School Violence Committee won't change its verdict.
If you and Joon Seok deny to the end,
it'll be it.
We aren't denying. We're telling the truth.
I believed it too.
The kindness you showed.
The tears.
I thought they were sincere.
I felt comforted...
and grateful.
But I'm not sure anymore.
How much is true and how much...
is a lie?
Everything I said to you...
is true and sincere.
Of course, I can't say I know everything about the kids,
but I'm telling you the truth as I know it.
That's what bothers me.
Why are you trying so hard to be honest?
What does that mean?
You seemed truthful...
and honest enough to move me.
I felt as if you empathized with me.
I thought about it on my way here.
How would I have felt if I were you?
If Seon Ho were a bystander,
could I have been as honest as you?
I don't think I could have.
That's when I thought...
only someone who has a lot to hide...
would try to seem so honest.
Am I wrong?
You're wrong.
You are very mistaken.
You're misconstruing my goodwill.
That's not like you.
Let me ask you one thing.
Did you really pick up Joon Seok from the academy that night?
Did you come home with him?
Yes.
I came home with him.
I heard we were caught on the cameras outside the academy.
Why are you asking that?
Didn't Joon Seok leave home again that night?
What...
What are you thinking?
It's exactly what you think I'm thinking.
Do you think...
Joon Seok met Seon Ho?
A student met Seon Ho by chance that day.
Seon Ho said he had to meet someone.
That he was on his way.
If they agreed to meet at school,
it must have been another student.
I'll tell you clearly.
Joon Seok came home with me.
And he stayed at home.
To be honest,
I don't believe you.
I don't want to force you to.
You think that Joon Seok was the ringleader.
Fine, I get why you'd think so.
Everything would seem suspicious.
But...
I cried honest tears and apologized sincerely.
I wanted to help however I could...
and prayed every day that Seon Ho wakes up.
Whatever people said, I was on your side.
I thought that being a bystander was worse and felt terrible.
But...
this is wrong.
You went...
way across the line.
Call Joon Seok for me.
Go home.
You're not in your right mind.
Let's talk when you've calmed down.
I'm calmer than I've ever been.
Get Joon Seok.
You hurt me and that's more than enough.
You'll only hurt Joon Seok too.
How can I let you see him?
I want to...
protect my son too.
Calm down and cool your head.
Then come back.
I'll pretend I didn't hear anything you said today.
Don't bother.
I'll have Seon Ho transferred as soon as I find another hospital.
Must you...
Must you really go that far?
Eun Joo.
I want to believe you too.
Everything you said.
I want it all to be true.
But...
I don't believe you right now.
Your plans to meet Seon Ho that night.
You said no one knew.
- Yes. - Think about it.
No one knew. I didn't tell anyone.
Who was it then?
Is there...
a trace of the plans you made on your phone?
No. I talked about meeting him in person.
Okay.
The person you have reached is not available.
Try again...
Are you okay?
Why are you here?
I wanted to go home.
I didn't want Soo Ho to see me so tired.
So I was taking a break.
Give me the cell phone.
It's a burner phone.
Are you kidding me?
I threw away Seon Ho's cell phone that night.
I took out the SIM card and inserted it in that cell phone.
Do you expect me to believe that?
You can think what you want.
I guess you need insurance.
You probably even have...
a copied version of his cell phone. Am I correct?
Is this what you were planning to do...
when you called me that night?
I figured your wife could fall apart at any moment.
So I couldn't trust her with my life.
I thought...
it would be safer if you were my accomplice.
Is that why you didn't ask my wife for any money?
Because you thought she might fall apart one day...
and ruin your life as well?
I guess we could leave it at that.
Your one and only son is addicted to gambling,
drugs, and even owes money to a loan shark.
And on top of that,
the loan shark even started threatening him with his life.
And your wife got shocked by that and lost her mind.
You really have a pitiful life.
Why don't you focus on taking good care of your own family?
If you harm my son in any kind of way,
I will kill your son.
He's already dead to me.
You probably got something from the guy who tailed you.
You should check what it is.
Go on. It'll be quite interesting.
(Attached file)
(Untitled)
The cops raided an illegal gambling house.
And the guy who tailed you barely managed to take him out of there.
What did you do to my son?
What's important is what I'll do to him now.
Let him go right now!
Get your filthy hands off of me.
If you don't let him go right now,
I'll hand over all the evidence I have to the cops.
The moment you do that,
your son will die.
Do you think I won't be able to do it?
No one will care even if a drug addict disappears.
It'll be less of an issue than the death of someone's pet dog.
Your son is my insurance.
This makes it fair.
Now, both our sons are at risk.
Did you think I'd let you push me around with your threat?
Don't be mistaken.
You're no match for me.
Let him go.
You seem pretty desperate. So I'll let him go this time.
But there won't be a next time.
My guys will follow your son around like his shadow.
They'll keep their eyes on him all day and night.
Don't think of doing anything funny and just lie low.
Don't disappear. Don't quit your job.
Just stay in your usual place.
And from now on, if you need money, you should just ask me...
politely and courteously.
You used to be a detective.
It'd be an embarrassment for you to go around threatening people.
Don't you agree?
About that day.
The day Seon Ho fell off the roof.
What about it?
Did you see him that day?
(Young Chul)
Why are you still up?
Are you not sleepy?
I was just about to go to sleep.
Come here.
This is what your grandfather used to say to me.
"The starting point of one's life is very important."
"Because that is what decides how your life is going to be like."
You were born in the top class.
That's the only fault you have.
The fact that you're a leader who was born in the top class.
Even if you say anything insignificant,
those kids think of your words like an order as if they're slaves.
And that's because they were born like that.
It can't be changed.
Because that's how they were born.
A leader must be broad-minded.
You shouldn't care about what other people say.
They're all worthless.
Don't get swayed by the little stuff.
Just focus on going forward.
If anything gets in your way,
I'll get rid of it...
regardless of what it may be.
You should go to sleep now.
Okay.
Dad.
Goodnight.
You too.
Hey.
Hi.
My mom told me...
that you met her yesterday.
I'm sorry.
I do feel a little upset.
You could've told me earlier.
Let's catch the culprit together.
What?
The cops and the school are doing nothing.
So we should catch the culprit.
How?
Joon Seok is the prime suspect.
But he has an alibi.
We need to find evidence to disprove it.
How are we going to do that?
That's what we need to start thinking about.
We need to meet this person first.
I found it in my dad's car so I brought it.
(Choi Ji Kyung, Journalist)
- What is this? - I agreed to meet him...
after school.
Really?
Yes.
Would you like to come with me?
You don't have to if you don't want to.
Did you organize all the statements?
There's nothing to organize.
Is there anyone who knows where Ki Deuk Cheol went?
No.
Darn it.
- By the way... - What?
I heard there was a figurehead called Mr. Ice.
Mr. Ice? Because he does so much ice?
- That's correct. - Really?
- Yes. - So?
Apparently, he disappeared right before we went there.
He ran off with Ki Deuk Cheol?
I'm not sure, but...
I heard his father is a cop and gave him the heads up.
- Who's his dad? - I don't know Mr. Ice's real name.
Contact the DEA and find out.
- I will. - Right now!
Yes, sir. I'm on it.
Excuse me.
I thought you should know.
That's why I'm telling you now.
Please pay attention so that...
Dong Hee won't get bullied or anything.
I understand.
Yes, I'll see you later.
You sound so serious. Who was it?
It's nothing.
Is Seon Ho's mother picking on you again?
When did she ever do that?
Why are you yelling at me?
Because it's so pathetic.
Pathetic?
How dare you.
Take it easy, guys.
Have you forgotten your place?
How dare you call me pathetic?
I wasn't calling you pathetic.
I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
Lee Jin Woo! Stop right there!
Please.
That little punk.
He has no respect for his seniors.
Mr. Lee!
How old are you?
How are you any different?
I'm also...
just a ghost to you.
All we have is vague words.
We need actual proof to...
turn this into a homicide case and investigate.
Have you looked at the kids' cell phones?
If Seon Ho was meeting someone, there had to be messages about it.
I believe you're referring to Oh Joon Seok.
But we can't do that without a warrant.
Is there anything you guys can do?
We'll talk to Dong Hee and take it into consideration.
If that's all you are going to do, don't even bother.
She has already got a hard life. I don't want to make it worse.
We'll find that evidence ourselves.
I don't think it's just a school violence incident either.
I said it's difficult to conduct an official investigation.
I didn't mean we are not going to investigate at all.
Does this mean you believe us now?
Speculation can't be evidence.
I don't feel comfortable letting the police talk to Dong Hee alone.
I want to be there.
I got it. We'll be in touch.
The security at Seah Middle School, his name is Shin Dae Gil, right?
That's right. Why?
- He is Mr. Ice's father. - What?
It seems he had to quit the police because of his son's drug use.
- Are you sure? - He's Mr. Ice's dad for sure.
But the department he belonged to isn't being cooperative.
So I don't know the exact reason why he had to quit.
But it's useless unless we have proof, no?
We'll have to find something, whether it be proof or witness.
Let's put up posters.
Put them up here, the school, and the academy.
Someone must have seen them.
Sure.
I should be going now.
Why do you bother talking to those school officials?
I know they are not helpful, but we should try.
I need to talk to Da Hee too.
You're Park Seon Ho's mother, right?
Yes. What is this about?
Did you give these out to students in front of the school?
So what? Is it wrong to do that?
We've received complaints.
Complaints?
The entrance exam is right around the corner.
They are disrupting the school atmosphere.
And our kids will suffer for it.
I think she's taking it too far.
She should think of other students too.
She only cares about her own child.
Let's take turns and file complaints daily.
We also need to make an official complaint to the school.
As you know, I'm involved in Seon Ho's case.
It might cause a misunderstanding if I do it myself.
Frankly, I find it unfair and want to say a few things but...
What do you find "unfair"?
It's unfair for In Ha.
What's so unfair to you?
We are in the meeting.
Handing out some business cards won't distract kids from studying.
Kids who want to study will study, no matter what.
You are such a mean person.
- What's wrong with you? - Watch what you say.
You're the one who should watch your mouth.
"She only cares about her own child"?
Who? In Ha does that?
- What a lousy thing to say. - Hey.
What kind of mother would sit and do nothing when her kid is in a coma?
I...
I have no right to say anything, but...
In Ha is on the verge of breaking down.
Her heart has been ripped apart, and she's hurt all over.
Please don't attack her like this.
We are all mothers, aren't we?
You're wasting your breath.
Joon Ha.
- Are you crazy? - You say one more word.
I'll really show you what crazy is.
Get yourself together.
You will be punished if you continue like this.
Have you forgotten that my husband is a lawyer?
Sue me.
We'll see who wins in the end.
Do you think it makes any sense?
Joon Seok is the ringleader? Are you out of your mind?
Gi Chan said the same thing.
We just didn't believe him then.
The kids said conflicting things.
We're already getting so many complaints...
because of the business cards and posters handed out to the students.
Where did you hear that absurd thing?
Who is spreading that lie?
- I don't know. - Can you guess?
I can't.
Call the detective and find out.
They asked for an investigation.
So the detective must know.
Seon Ho's mother doesn't want people to know who.
I don't see the reason to find out.
We have to! It's causing a commotion!
How is telling honestly what one knows...
is causing a commotion?
Why are you acting like this?
Because it's pathetic!
I'm pathetic!
And this school is pathetic!
If you feel that way, go ahead and quit!
If you don't like it here, you should go.
Mr. Lee.
I need to have a word with you.
My goodness.
That...
Hello.
- How have you been? - Good, thank you.
Are you visiting because of Seon Ho's case?
Yes.
Take care.
Ms. Kang.
Here.
Why are you giving this to me?
I don't know when it would happen,
but I was going to take this when I go to visit Seon Ho.
The hospital doesn't allow visitors to bring plants.
I know that.
This one is strong and can survive through anything.
So I wanted to give this to Seon Ho.
I'll put this in Seon Ho's room.
So he can see it when he comes home.
Okay.
We'll take good care of it. Thank you.
Sure.
There he is.
Are you Reporter Choi?
- Are you Park Soo Ho? - Yes.
Have a seat.
Is she your friend?
She's a senior at our school. It's okay if she joins us, right?
Yes, of course.
What would you like to eat? You can order whatever you want.
I'm not hungry.
I'm not hungry either.
Did you...
tell your parents before coming here?
No.
Then that's going to complicate things.
Why?
I met your dad.
And he didn't seem too happy about publishing an article.
Can't you just use an anonymous name and write the article?
We're not allowed to write articles however we want.
I'll still hear you out since you're here.
Don't worry.
The cops won't carry out an investigation...
solely based on what the kids said.
More importantly,
has Choi Ji Kyung tried to contact you again?
When will you be able to publish the article?
I need to begin writing it. But...
Can you hurry...
and let everyone know about it?
I can't write the article merely based on speculation.
Even if I write it, it won't get published.
But I told you everything.
Don't worry. I'll write it. But I need to interview more people.
I need to interview the people concerned...
such as the school staff and the detective in charge.
I need to do that in order to prevent any future problems.
I told you already. Interviewing them will be pointless.
Goodness, the adults have completely lost your trust.
Anyway, I'll do a few more interviews...
and contact you before I publish the article.
If you need any help, call me whenever.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you too, Dong Hee.
Do you really think it'll be okay?
Don't worry.
- Let's go, Dong Hee. - Okay.
Oh Jin Pyo's son who is the spitting image of his father.
How incredible.
It's me.
I have a dinner appointment.
I won't be very late. Okay, bye.
Take... Take me home.
Pardon?
Turn the car around!
It's so interesting.
What is?
We found out so many things.
But it's just so interesting that there's absolutely nothing...
we can do.
We don't need any evidence.
Let's just beat up everyone that we're suspicious of.
Are you serious?
That's the only way.
We'll pay them back with exactly what they did.
I feel so much better just by hearing you say that.
I'll be meeting Seon Ho's homeroom teacher tomorrow.
Because of Dong Hee?
Yes.
I should tell him that I met...
her previous homeroom teacher from her old school.
I hope everything goes well.
Me too.
Why are you watching that?
I can't stop thinking about what the food truck driver said.
Honey, wait.
Can you rewind that a little?
I left something at home.
I think that's Eun Joo's car.
It is Eun Joo's car.
I think it's hers.
It's the back gate.
Eun Joo was there that night.
She was there.
