A Victim of a School Violence

VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
AS SOME SCENES MAY BE UNPLEASAN
Mr. Jang.
I'm here today after hearing that
you've recently forgiven
the murderer, Oh Cheol-yeong.
-I see.
-This isn't something easy to do.
We'd like to showcase the process
in which you let go of your hatred
and came to forgive him on our program.
I believe your story will comfort many.
I know it's hard to talk about,
but can you tell me about the incident?
Sure.
I believe that it was…
a Saturday.
I called my parents all afternoon,
but they didn't pick up.
So in the evening, I came to see them.
I came home, rang the doorbell,
but nobody came to the door.
The lights were all off too.
I had no choice but to jump over the wall.
Once I got in,
I turned on the lights.
Goodness.
My parents weren't the type
who would harm anybody.
They weren't the type to have
someone hold a grudge against them.
Why did this happen to them?
I was really frustrated.
They raised fish back then too,
so I asked them.
"Didn't you guys see it?
Who was it and why did they do this?"
After that, Oh Cheol-yeong
was arrested after ten months.
Yes.
How did you feel when you heard that?
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to pulverize him.
But I had no means to do that.
So that feeling of hopelessness
was what really killed me.
So, I had decided to kill myself.
I began to settle my affairs to do that,
but I just couldn't let go of that man.
So I decided, if I can't kill him,
I should forgive him.
I'm not sure if this was
God's will or something else,
but the moment I thought of forgiving him,
all of my suicidal thoughts
began to disappear.
I thought that I should continue
living this life I had.
That's what I thought,
embarrassingly enough.
I…
want to forgive the man
who killed my parents.
JANG SEONG-CHEOL
While I don't have the power to do so,
CHAIRMAN OF BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
I hope to muster up the courage for it.
No way.
My gosh, Mr. Jang.
You should be an actor.
Goodness.
BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
This taxi company has an unwelcoming vibe.
ERADICATE RIDE REFUSALS
Excuse me. Can I ask you a question?
I'm looking for a car.
Is there another car park--
Do you know how many cars
you're blocking by parking like that?
It's not like it'll stay here.
I'll move it shortly.
The first thing you should've done
was to park at a designated area
so you won't cause trouble for others.
I said I'm leaving shortly.
You could've answered my question quickly.
Is that the attitude
of someone asking a question?
I'm sorry. May I ask you a question?
No. Just move your car.
What's going on over there? Look.
Wait, that's the Mercedes G-Wagen.
Is that the only thing you see right now?
I mean the situation right there.
What? You're right.
I can see what this is about.
That explains why Mr. Kim has been
taking the taxi out at night.
How?
That's his rich girlfriend
who came to see him at work
after seeing him a few hours ago.
-That's not it.
-My goodness.
-Is that all you think about?
-What?
Come on, really.
My goodness. So gross.
"Gross"?
Gyeong-gu, am I gross?
Gross? You aren't gross.
No. You're fine. You look clean.
-Right?
-Hey, Go-eun! Come on.
I can't believe that girl.
I'm not the type of person
who would come across as rude.
No.
-You've been rude from the get-go.
-Hey!
Prosecutor Kang?
-Mr. Jang?
-What brings you here?
Are you here to see me?
This is your company?
Yes.
CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION
All right. Have some tea, then.
Do you recognize this car?
-Sorry?
-I ran the plate and got this address.
I'm not sure. I doubt it.
Our company doesn't have cars like that.
The owner is listed as Jang Ha-sun.
Do you not know who that is either?
I'm sorry to say this to you,
but please don't try
to hide anything from me.
Mr. Jang Ha-sun is my father.
-Your father?
-Yes.
This company was formerly run by him.
-Then you must've known everything.
-No.
I had no idea.
I had no idea there was something
still registered under his name.
Where is he right now?
I'm uncomfortable discussing
something like this with someone I know.
Even if you hide it, I will find out.
You'll only end up with more stress, sir.
Where is Mr. Jang Ha-sun right now?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Do you know why he's running Bluebird?
Do you?
-No, sir.
-You don't know anything!
Why would you go all the way there
just to upset him?
Do you have any idea…
how his parents passed away?
Mr. Jang will be at an event later.
Go apologize.
-Yes, sir.
-Don't do it over the phone.
Go apologize to him in person!
-Yes, sir.
-And let me be very clear.
Stop obsessing over Cho Do-cheol.
I'm warning you one more time.
If you ever make me bring him up again,
you better prepare for the consequences.
Where's your answer?
Yes, sir.
-Get lost.
-Yes, sir.
Prosecutor Kang, aren't you going to eat?
You shouldn't skip a meal.
You should eat something before--
So-eun, let's go for lunch.
-Sure.
-Okay.

JASEONG-GU'S WARM GESTURE
MAKING KIMCHI WITH LOVE
You're a busy person. There's no need.
You don't have to.
If I'm here, I might as well help.
Well, thank you.
Mr. Jang, I'm sorry.
Goodness, don't do this.
-People will get the wrong impression.
-I was very rude to you, sir.
Don't say that.
You said what you needed to say.
Don't worry about it. Okay?
I came to have lots of respect for you
while looking up your case.
You overcame what happened to you.
I couldn't have done that if I were you.
I would've loathed and hated the culprit
for the rest of my life,
and I couldn't have forgiven him.
-I feel the same way.
-Sorry?
I also loathe and hate the culprits,
and I can never forgive them.
You make your jokes sound very serious.
I'm saying it's that hard to forgive.
We're all done with making kimchi today.
All right, great work.
Get everything packed and loaded.
The cars that are loaded first can go.
-Okay.
-Please wrap this up.
This is the last batch.
JASEONG-GU, A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE
How many times must I tell you
not to park like this?
Why do you always park so dangerously?
Go-eun, are you really okay?
-Yes.
-Will you please be careful?
Who am I talking to right now?
Goodness. Prosecutor Kang, I'm sorry.
Thank you for your help today.
You can go now.
No, I'll stick around
and help with the delivery.
No, the delivery is hard work
and time-consuming.
I just need to get back before dark,
so I'll help.
-Really?
-Yes.
In that case,
please take the closest route.
-Sounds great.
-Okay.
Where are you all going today?
I'll do a round in the northern part
of the capital area.
Okay.
I'm going south.
Okay, then…
Fine. I'm sorry for everything.
Let's forget the past
and reintroduce ourselves.
I'm Prosecutor Kang Ha-na
of the Northern Prosecutor's Office.
Nice to meet you both.
I didn't take you for one to hold grudges.
I do.
How can we make amends?
I don't force myself to do so.
Gosh, what's he saying?
Nice to meet you.
Do you work for the taxi company too?
You're really good at playing that game.
What's your name?
I don't know what a shrug means.
Goodness, you aren't Korean?
Whatever.
This is very uncomfortable.
Thank you for the ride.
He should respond when I talk to him.
Now that I have some fresh kimchi,
I'm thinking of ordering bossam.
Do you want to join me?
Sure. Let's eat together.
I only have jeotgal at home.
It's enough to last me over a year.
Thank you for the food.
What's this?
Lotus root.
Did you use a cookbook,
or are you a good cook?
I'll pack some for you when you leave.
You can take them home.
You're good at making side dishes,
and your house is clean.
Do-gi, you seem
different from how you look.

PRESIDENT JANG SEONG-CHEOL
DELUXE TAXI
Hey, Jin-eon.
Come here.
Now, let's say our deluxe taxi
is at a dead end
and it can't go in any further.
Everything is pitch-black.
To catch the culprit,
we must go into the dark and narrow alley.
But unfortunately,
our taxi can't go in any further,
and the headlights aren't bright enough.
Oh no.
We have to get into the narrow alley.
How are we going to overcome this problem?
At that moment,
your side-view mirror
turns into a lantern,
and you use to go in further.
When Mr. Kim finds out,
he'll be so surprised.
-My gosh.
-Oh.
Why did you turn the lights off?
Was the electricity out?
-No.
-No, it's not that.
Hey.
What is this?
My gosh.
What is this cumbersome
and inconvenient thing?
Oh, it's a side-view mirror.
I have to go now.
-Can you put this back?
-Okay. Sorry.
-I'll--
-Why are you all here?
What is this?
Why did you break the side-view mirror?
Put that back already.
-Tell me about it.
-Gosh, you always do this.
This time, the client is quite young.
Let's take good care of it. Okay?
-All right.
-Good.
Did you put it back?
Yes, we're on it!
I'm on it!
DELUXE TAXI
Where are we going right now?
To get your revenge.
You're always too noisy, you know.
Settle down.
Now, he's a new transfer student,
Park Jeong-min. Introduce yourself.
Hi, I transferred to Sejeong High
from Yongsan High School,
and my name is Park Jeong-min.
Nice to meet you. I hope we can get along.
When I first transferred,
we all got along just fine.
Damn. What is this smell?
Why does it smell like a fish market?
Hey, wait. You.
Oh, shit.
My gosh.
Hey, open the windows.
-Su-nam, open the window.
-Hurry up. It stinks.
Did anyone grill fish?
Did you eat grilled fish?
No.
Why?
You reek like fish.
It must be because I helped my mom
at her store.
-Does it smell a lot?
-You reek.
Does he have fish in his bag?
Don't touch it. You'll smell too.
-But one day…
-Get out.
…they began to bully me for no reason.
You idiot.
-Hey, you idiot. Man.
-Do you know why we're hitting you?
-You don't?
-Asshole.
Hey.
-I can't study because of you!
-I can't study, you jerk.
-You parasite.
-Darn it.
-Jerk.
-A parasite?
-You idiot.
-What?
-What is it?
-He's on welfare! Weren't you listening?
-Stomp on him.
-Eat that.
Eat the dirt.
There was no use in telling the teacher.
Things are tough when you first transfer.
It's just that you all feel awkward.
You should give way
and try to be friendly to them, okay?
What's this smell?
You ought to wash your uniform more often.
My gosh.
TEACHERS' OFFICE
Hey, Jeong-min.
Why were you in there?
Did you have a good talk?
Were you holding hands with our teacher?
-I'm bored. Let's go to a karaoke room.
-Hey, are you a good singer?
-Their bullying…
-Jeong-min.
-…got worse and worse over time.
-Hey.
Wait for me!
They demanded money from me once a week.
And when I couldn't give it to them…
It's nothing, Jeong-min.
We've all done this before.
Our kind-hearted Parasite
can just say you were fooling around.
…they got me into a motorbike accident,
then took the compensation.
DOJEONG POLICE SUBSTATION
Yes. Let me know if you'll deal with this
internally or not.
Let us know when the school
violence committee decides.
All right.
-So--
-It'll be okay. You can go.
When I tried to get help…
Yes, the kimchi is excellent.
…their bullying became even worse.
The girls at school are…
Hey, he's here.
-There's Mr. Hotshot.
-You're late.
Hey, Jeong-min and his mom look the same.
These eggs aren't good.
-They're gross.
-Want to try this?
Okay, try it.
-Just eat it.
-Eat it.
Jeong-min, come.
The ramyeon is getting soggy.
Thank you for the food.
It must be very tough
for you to run a fish store alone.
Goodness.
You should be careful
when you use a knife, ma'am.
He's right.
You don't want to get stabbed.
The school violence committee is tomorrow.
Make sure you're there on time, Jeong-min.
Now, tell us honestly.
Did you hurt your leg
when you fell over by mistake?
Or was it
because they pushed you on purpose?
What is he saying?
They pushed you on purpose?
You said it was an accident!
DESIGNING ME, BECOMING CONFIDEN
I bumped into something
while we were fooling around.
Be honest with me.
Did you really get into an accident
while you were hanging out?
Mom.
Please.
I know you were just playing,
but your friend got hurt,
so you three should apologize.
I'm sorry.
Let's stop playing rough from now on.
Okay, Jeong-min?
Yes, we had ramyeon together too.
We're sorry.
Yes, think of all of our memories.
I'm sorry, Jeong-min.
Okay.
Jeong-min, if you had something to say,
you should've told the school first.
If you go out telling other people,
how would that make our school
and teachers look?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Darn it. This was absolutely nothing.
Thank you for making time.
-Sir, is your business doing well?
-Yes, of course.
We should go out and grab a drink.
-Sounds great.
-Okay.
-You should call your dad.
-All right.
Okay. Let's go.
I wonder if they know how I feel.
No.
Not at all.
If they knew, they couldn't do this.
I want them to feel exactly
what I'm feeling.
To see how miserable it is.

88. TAXI DRIVER
Hello.
First off, thank you
for visiting Rainbow Deluxe Taxi.
Let me share a few precautions
for the safety of our passengers.
While we work on your request,
the taxi meter will continue to go up.
You will pay your fare
once the job is finished.
Depending on the situation,
you may be charged extra.
After you use our taxi service,
you must not tell anyone else
about what happened with Rainbow Taxi.
Please keep this secret.
Now, if you wish to get your revenge
on the people who harassed you,
push the blue button on the left.
If you don't want to punish them,
push the red button on the right.
Please make your choice.
You smell.
-I can't study because of you!
-I can't study, you jerk.
-You parasite.
-Darn it.
You should be careful
when you use a knife, ma'am.
You don't want to get stabbed.
DELUXE TAXI
I want them to feel exactly
what I'm feeling.
To see how miserable it is.
Do we really have to deal with
high schoolers? It'll cramp our style.
To some, this could be
a trivial story from their school days,
but for others,
it may be a matter of life or death.
Let's handle this quickly
and do something stylish, okay?
Any remarks?
Well, according to his records,
he has never
officially caused any trouble.
But Seung-tae's father is
the president of the alumni association
who makes lots of donations.
Other than that, nothing much.
Why don't you infiltrate the school?
-What about his homeroom teacher?
-One second.
Where is the teacher for Class Three?
The homeroom teacher is…
Over here.
There they are.
Why are there so many teachers?
Now, which one of them is his teacher?
-Number three.
-What?
Gosh, you're no fun.
It's not fun
because you always put the answer last.
Okay, then.
In this case,
the victim and the perpetrators are
all minors.
However, their youth does not make
the weight of their crimes any lighter.
You know that, right?
It doesn't matter who threw the stone.
It'll sink anyway.
What's the plan?
PARK JEONG-MIN, PARK SEUNG-TAE
A week.
Then let's do what we're good at.
-Yes.
-Let's get moving.
-Let's do what we're good at.
-No, I'm bad at this.
But I'll do well this time.

PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE
I'm Hwang In-seong,
the substitute teacher.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
Let's talk on the way.
Sure.
Thank goodness.
One of our teachers has diarrhea
caused by acute enteritis.
He's taking a week off.
My gosh.
He must be very ill.
He said he goes to the bathroom
several times a day. I wonder what he ate.
We're lucky to have found a teacher
who could come in.
These days, schools can't function
without substitute teachers.
I'm flattered.
Please fill in for Class Three's
homeroom teacher for a week.
We'll pay you more than what others offer.
Students can't go without a teacher.
I'll do my best.
Perfect. You also teach math.
Math?
Math, seriously?
What choice did I have?
The teacher teaches math.
I can't do this. You have to change it.
You've already introduced yourself.
We can't change it now.
Mr. Hwang.
Hurry up.
This teacher will fill in
until your teacher returns.
Meet Mr. Hwang In-seong.
Be good to him.
-All right, you can begin your class.
-Okay.
It's nice to meet you all.
Since we've only just met,
I'll take attendance
so I can get to know you guys.
CLASS THREE STUDENTS
Let's see. Oh Su-nam?
Here.
-Seo Gang-Jun?
-Here.
Nice to meet you.
-Song Gwang-min?
-Here.
Great.
Jang Hyeong-sik?
Jang Hyeong-sik?
Well, I guess he's not here.
Excuse me.
I kept saying I was here.
Did you?
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
Please answer loudly next time.
What a joke.
Park Seung-tae?
Park Seung-tae?
Hey, where are you going?
-I'm stepping out.
-Class is still in session.
It's too nice out.
Hey, wait.
Well… Which chapter are you guys on?
Then let's review what you've learned
until your teacher returns.
And…
SINE AND COSINE RULES
The class will be focused
on audiovisual materials.
COFFEE, TEA, AND BEVERAGES
Mr. Hwang.
Hi.
What's up?
I have a favor to ask.
Okay.
A favor?
What is it?
Do you have any cigarettes?
What?
I forgot to pick some up this morning.
But… Even still,
a student shouldn't ask a teacher that.
Who's a teacher?
You're nothing more than a part-timer.
You're not a teacher.
You're very rude.
You're just a temp.
Do you want to be treated like a teacher?
Okay, then.
Mr. Hwang!
How could you hit a student? How?
-Gosh.
-Mr. Hwang.
Why did you suddenly hit me?
-I didn't hit you.
-A teacher hit a student!
-This is crazy. How could he?
-My gosh.
Goodness.
Let's settle with this.
I don't hold grudges, okay?
You'd better watch it.
Mr. Teacher.
Nice.
I think I just got mugged.
You think? You totally got mugged.
They took all your money.
PARK SEUNG-TAE
AWARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS
There were several anti-bullying hearings.
But his parents never came.
Only his uncle came,
but it was a different uncle each time.
His parents must be busy importing
and distributing Chinese batteries.
And a few years ago,
they got busier
when his dad ran for city council.
So they sent a different uncle each time?
-We should go clubbing again.
-We totally should.
Hak-su.
I want to pick up girls later,
so get the goodies.
-"Goodies"?
-Hak-su is a pro at this.
-Oh, I see.
-Go for it.
Ma'am.
-Will you sell these boxes to me?
-Sorry?
Just run a little errand for me,
and I'll pay you more than the junkyard.
How does it sound?
My gosh!
You're a good worker.
Here.
Have some warm soup.
Live long and proper.
Hey.
It's "Live long and prosper," you idiot.
You're as dumb as you look.
Hey, guys.
Stop fighting.
Let's go.
Ma'am!
Live long and prosper!
This is so nice. I feel great!
All right, guys.
-Cheers, everyone.
-Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Listen up!
-Do you know what I got for you?
-What is it?
Look forward to it.
My gosh! How did you get this?
Hey! Where there's a will, there's a way.
He looks old, you know.
I'll give you that!
-You guys always say that.
-How did you get in?
-With that face.
-Hak-su.
-Hak-su!
-Yes?
Dance!
-You want me to dance too?
-Yes!
Then I shall dance.
Look at them having a great time.
They're partying
with the money they stole.
Don't they feel bad?
Of course they don't.
They're immune to it.
They're immune?
The anti-bullying hearings
were like vaccines to them.
Even when they used violence,
all they had to do was apologize verbally.
So they have no reason to stop.
Because they were already immune to it,
they gradually became more aggressive,
and their sense of guilt became numb.
Who is this ugly punk?
Hey, Hak-su.
Hello, sir.
Hey.
-How have you been?
-I've been good.
Have a drink.
Here's the money.
-Did you do it right?
-Yes, Uncle.
Wait.
That's beyond being immature teenagers.
He went beyond that long ago.
I can guess who his uncles are.
My gosh. Who's this?
I suppose I misjudged you.
You party at places like this?
What?
Am I not allowed in places like this?
You know,
just seeing those youngsters
makes me feel rejuvenated.
You don't get kicked out?
No, I don't.
Because I own this place.
Did you have time to think about
my offer?
If you work for me,
I'll treat you much better
than Mr. Jang ever would.
Be it money or whatever else.
I'll give you everything you want.
Don't get in his way.
Ma'am, they're waiting.
Which room?
I'll escort you.
Hello, ma'am!
My gosh, hello!
Ma'am.
-Hello.
-Hello.
What is this?
Who said you could beat someone up?
We're sorry, ma'am.
Sweetie.
You're still young.
I understand. It's fine.
What's so bad about doing drugs?
The real problem is borrowing money
and not paying it back.
Well, just a little.
Don't worry.
Everyone makes mistakes, you know?
But you look very young.
You've got a nice face too.
Call Doctor Kim.
It's more than enough
to pay back the debt.
I called him.
Tell him to consider the interest as well.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Please…
Don't kill me. Please!
Please don't kill me!
Please…

This one is pretty heavy,

I'm really curious.
While exploiting the victims like this,

It wasn't me.
They said they were a social enterprise,
so I only helped them out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you know that feeling sorry
won't be considered a mitigating factor.
Where are the accomplices?
How would I know?
They dumped it all on me and fled.
Only Park Ju-chan and I
had access to that information.
Do you think I sent it,
so you could arrest me?
Prosecutor Kang.
Park Ju-chan, Cho Jong-geun,
Choi Jong-suk's numbers
aren't in service now.
There are no credit card records,
and their whereabouts are unknown.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
They framed me and fled.
Darn it.
We can assume they're on the run
and not missing, right?
Yes, I think so.
But three villains disappeared at once?
What should we do?
Let's assume they've fled.
Put out an APB on them.
Yes, ma'am.
CHO JONG-GEUN,
CHOI JONG-SUK, PARK JU-CHAN
Clean this up.
Okay.
Wipe it clean.
-Okay.
-Su-nam.
-Yes?
-Want help?
No, it's okay.
Oh, you haven't sent the money yet.
Do you want to end up like Jeong-min?
-No.
-I told you to wipe it clean.
-Su-nam.
-Hey.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
-Get over here.
-Come here.
If you don't have enough money,
let me borrow one of these.
Let's go eat burgers for lunch today.
It'll be my treat.
Will I get into an accident
like Jeong-min did?
Shut it, you little…
Gosh, it reeks of cigarettes.
Who smoked in the bathroom?
It wasn't you. Right?
Right?
Su-nam.
Great timing.
I had something to tell you.
Let's go to the Teachers' Office.
Why don't you go ahead?
Su-nam and I are not done talking yet.
I don't appreciate that rude tone.
You're a student, and I'm a teacher.
Su-nam, do you still need to talk to him?
Yes.
I see.
You aren't done yet.
Well, you guys can talk next time.
Let's go.
Hey!
Get ready for your next class.
Go back to your classroom now.
Damn it.
This model came out 20 years ago.
Hello.
Why do you drive such a car?
Mr. Hwang, you seem like the quirky type.
I guess you dabble in everything.
I sure do.
Good work today.
-Thank you. Get home safely.
-Keep up the good work.
I'll do my best.
I've warned him.
That stupid temp.
He doesn't know his place.
How about I tail him
when he's on his way home
and teach him a lesson?
Yes, do that.
That's not enough.
He's been working hard,
so let's make him famous.
-How?
-How?
I've got an idea.
-Seung-tae never lets us down.
-My gosh.
He's so smart.
I haven't seen Jeong-min at all.
Tell him to stay out of my sight.
If he doesn't, he's dead.
Hey, don't.
You saw the look on his mom's face.
Who cares?
Darn it.
Hey. I don't see those grannies.
You're right. I don't see any of them.
-Where did they go?
-Hey, old man!
You, old man!
Wait, stop for a second.
Run a little errand for us,
and I'll buy all your boxes.
Hey, man. Why are you trembling?
Are you cold?
-What?
-What is this?
What is all this?
My gosh, you're a good salesman.
Can I take a few more?
He's professional.
-Hang on.
-No?
Are you that granny's boyfriend?
Hey, we're late. Let's just go.
We hope to run into you again.
Have a good day.
-Thank you.
-See you.
Hey.
-Did you bring it?
-Of course I did.
I picked the best of the best.
That's why I got no sleep last night.
Seriously? Let me see.
-No!
-Hey.
-Let's teach that temp a lesson.
-That's today?
-Let's go.
-Nice, let's go.
-Let's go!
-Let's go.
SEJEONG HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Hwang.
Someone's in the library for you.
For me?
Yes.
You should hurry.
SEUNG-TAE
I got the teacher.
I GOT THE TEACHER
Do a good job, okay?
Seung-tae.
I don't think I can do this.
Don't you understand the situation?
That asshole will be gone in a week.
Who do you think will be here longer?
Later today,
they'll find some magazines
and your photos in his bag.
Just burst into tears
and say what I told you to say.
What do you say?
Can you do it?
Anybody here?
Hello, anybody here?
Hak-su.
Where are the parents
who were asking for me?
This is odd. No one's here.
Hak-su.
Where did Hak-su go?
LIBRARY
Mr. Hwang!
Oh, hello.
-What is it?
-What?
My gosh, what happened?
Hey, what's wrong? What happened?
Hey.
What happened?
-What's going on?
-What is it?
What happened?
What did he do to you?
In his bag,
you'll find my photos.
-What?
-My gosh.
In his bag?
Your photos are in his bag?
What kind of photos?
EPILOGUE
Hello?
Isn't this Ho-jeong's mother's number?
I'm in front of her place now,
but it doesn't look like anyone's home.
Pardon?
In the hospital?
She drank poison but was found early,
so she won't lose her life.
The detective said she was found
by her late daughter's grave,
so there's a chance she'll try again.
Okay, thank you.
Ma'am.
What is this?
Why would you do such a thing?
I heard everything.
Those scumbags
who ruined Ho-jeong
and drove her to her death…
won't be punished
because they're young.
My daughter is no longer with us,
but those scumbags will live just fine
as if nothing
ever happened.
How is this fair?
It's all my fault.
I should've been more attentive
when she was alive.
I had no idea she was suffering so much.
Work isn't even that important.
Ma'am.
Ma'am!
You see, people like us
can't give up on life
just because we want to.
Do you know why?
Because of our beloved families.
My parents
and Ho-jeong.
Because they didn't get to live
their full lives,
we must live it for them
until the day we die.
That is our duty.
And you know
that Ho-jeong enjoyed her life
and worked very hard.
So to be like her,
you'll have to become very diligent.
Take the yoga classes that she took
and join the choir at the church
where she used to volunteer.
She wanted to learn to play the guitar.
I'll sign you up for guitar lessons,
so learn that too.
If you die without doing anything
and meet Ho-jeong, she'll get angry at you
for giving up without doing anything.

VOICE CAMEO BY: LEE YOUNG-AE
-Looks aren't everything!
-I bet he learned his lesson now.
-What's his deal?
-I don't want to learn from a temp.
-Are you mad? Then hit me.
-I got this.
You two can bow out.
Don't worry. I'm the only one who knows.
Seung-tae!
It's a home visit.
Lend me some money.
Something's fishy.
If suspects disappear,
it means they've fled.
It feels like they've been hunted.
-"Hunted"?
-Yes, that's what my gut's saying.
What I'm about to do now
is all out of love.
Think about the kids you've bullied.
ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS,
AND INSTITUTIONS ARE FICTITIOUS
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED
AS SOME SCENES MAY BE UNPLEASAN
Mr. Jang.
I'm here today after hearing that
you've recently forgiven
the murderer, Oh Cheol-yeong.
-I see.
-This isn't something easy to do.
We'd like to showcase the process
in which you let go of your hatred
and came to forgive him on our program.
I believe your story will comfort many.
I know it's hard to talk about,
but can you tell me about the incident?
Sure.
I believe that it was…
a Saturday.
I called my parents all afternoon,
but they didn't pick up.
So in the evening, I came to see them.
I came home, rang the doorbell,
but nobody came to the door.
The lights were all off too.
I had no choice but to jump over the wall.
Once I got in,
I turned on the lights.
Goodness.
My parents weren't the type
who would harm anybody.
They weren't the type to have
someone hold a grudge against them.
Why did this happen to them?
I was really frustrated.
They raised fish back then too,
so I asked them.
"Didn't you guys see it?
Who was it and why did they do this?"
After that, Oh Cheol-yeong
was arrested after ten months.
Yes.
How did you feel when you heard that?
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to pulverize him.
But I had no means to do that.
So that feeling of hopelessness
was what really killed me.
So, I had decided to kill myself.
I began to settle my affairs to do that,
but I just couldn't let go of that man.
So I decided, if I can't kill him,
I should forgive him.
I'm not sure if this was
God's will or something else,
but the moment I thought of forgiving him,
all of my suicidal thoughts
began to disappear.
I thought that I should continue
living this life I had.
That's what I thought,
embarrassingly enough.
I…
want to forgive the man
who killed my parents.

CHAIRMAN OF BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
I hope to muster up the courage for it.
No way.
My gosh, Mr. Jang.
You should be an actor.
Goodness.
BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
This taxi company has an unwelcoming vibe.
ERADICATE RIDE REFUSALS
Excuse me. Can I ask you a question?
I'm looking for a car.
Is there another car park--
Do you know how many cars
you're blocking by parking like that?
It's not like it'll stay here.
I'll move it shortly.
The first thing you should've done
was to park at a designated area
so you won't cause trouble for others.
I said I'm leaving shortly.
You could've answered my question quickly.
Is that the attitude
of someone asking a question?
I'm sorry. May I ask you a question?
No. Just move your car.
What's going on over there? Look.
Wait, that's the Mercedes G-Wagen.
Is that the only thing you see right now?
I mean the situation right there.
What? You're right.
I can see what this is about.
That explains why Mr. Kim has been
taking the taxi out at night.
How?
That's his rich girlfriend
who came to see him at work
after seeing him a few hours ago.
-That's not it.
-My goodness.
-Is that all you think about?
-What?
Come on, really.
My goodness. So gross.
"Gross"?
Gyeong-gu, am I gross?
Gross? You aren't gross.
No. You're fine. You look clean.
-Right?
-Hey, Go-eun! Come on.
I can't believe that girl.
I'm not the type of person
who would come across as rude.
No.
-You've been rude from the get-go.
-Hey!
Prosecutor Kang?
-Mr. Jang?
-What brings you here?
Are you here to see me?
This is your company?
Yes.
CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION
All right. Have some tea, then.
Do you recognize this car?
-Sorry?
-I ran the plate and got this address.
I'm not sure. I doubt it.
Our company doesn't have cars like that.
The owner is listed as Jang Ha-sun.
Do you not know who that is either?
I'm sorry to say this to you,
but please don't try
to hide anything from me.
Mr. Jang Ha-sun is my father.
-Your father?
-Yes.
This company was formerly run by him.
-Then you must've known everything.
-No.
I had no idea.
I had no idea there was something
still registered under his name.
Where is he right now?
I'm uncomfortable discussing
something like this with someone I know.
Even if you hide it, I will find out.
You'll only end up with more stress, sir.
Where is Mr. Jang Ha-sun right now?
Have you completely lost your mind?
Do you know why he's running Bluebird?
Do you?
-No, sir.
-You don't know anything!
Why would you go all the way there
just to upset him?
Do you have any idea…
how his parents passed away?
Mr. Jang will be at an event later.
Go apologize.
-Yes, sir.
-Don't do it over the phone.
Go apologize to him in person!
-Yes, sir.
-And let me be very clear.
Stop obsessing over Cho Do-cheol.
I'm warning you one more time.
If you ever make me bring him up again,
you better prepare for the consequences.
Where's your answer?
Yes, sir.
-Get lost.
-Yes, sir.
Prosecutor Kang, aren't you going to eat?
You shouldn't skip a meal.
You should eat something before--
So-eun, let's go for lunch.
-Sure.
-Okay.

MAKING KIMCHI WITH LOVE
You're a busy person. There's no need.
You don't have to.
If I'm here, I might as well help.
Well, thank you.
Mr. Jang, I'm sorry.
Goodness, don't do this.
-People will get the wrong impression.
-I was very rude to you, sir.
Don't say that.
You said what you needed to say.
Don't worry about it. Okay?
I came to have lots of respect for you
while looking up your case.
You overcame what happened to you.
I couldn't have done that if I were you.
I would've loathed and hated the culprit
for the rest of my life,
and I couldn't have forgiven him.
-I feel the same way.
-Sorry?
I also loathe and hate the culprits,
and I can never forgive them.
You make your jokes sound very serious.
I'm saying it's that hard to forgive.
We're all done with making kimchi today.
All right, great work.
Get everything packed and loaded.
The cars that are loaded first can go.
-Okay.
-Please wrap this up.
This is the last batch.
JASEONG-GU, A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE
How many times must I tell you
not to park like this?
Why do you always park so dangerously?
Go-eun, are you really okay?
-Yes.
-Will you please be careful?
Who am I talking to right now?
Goodness. Prosecutor Kang, I'm sorry.
Thank you for your help today.
You can go now.
No, I'll stick around
and help with the delivery.
No, the delivery is hard work
and time-consuming.
I just need to get back before dark,
so I'll help.
-Really?
-Yes.
In that case,
please take the closest route.
-Sounds great.
-Okay.
Where are you all going today?
I'll do a round in the northern part
of the capital area.
Okay.
I'm going south.
Okay, then…
Fine. I'm sorry for everything.
Let's forget the past
and reintroduce ourselves.
I'm Prosecutor Kang Ha-na
of the Northern Prosecutor's Office.
Nice to meet you both.
I didn't take you for one to hold grudges.
I do.
How can we make amends?
I don't force myself to do so.
Gosh, what's he saying?
Nice to meet you.
Do you work for the taxi company too?
You're really good at playing that game.
What's your name?
I don't know what a shrug means.
Goodness, you aren't Korean?
Whatever.
This is very uncomfortable.
Thank you for the ride.
He should respond when I talk to him.
Now that I have some fresh kimchi,
I'm thinking of ordering bossam.
Do you want to join me?
Sure. Let's eat together.
I only have jeotgal at home.
It's enough to last me over a year.
Thank you for the food.
What's this?
Lotus root.
Did you use a cookbook,
or are you a good cook?
I'll pack some for you when you leave.
You can take them home.
You're good at making side dishes,
and your house is clean.
Do-gi, you seem
different from how you look.

DELUXE TAXI
Hey, Jin-eon.
Come here.
Now, let's say our deluxe taxi
is at a dead end
and it can't go in any further.
Everything is pitch-black.
To catch the culprit,
we must go into the dark and narrow alley.
But unfortunately,
our taxi can't go in any further,
and the headlights aren't bright enough.
Oh no.
We have to get into the narrow alley.
How are we going to overcome this problem?
At that moment,
your side-view mirror
turns into a lantern,
and you use to go in further.
When Mr. Kim finds out,
he'll be so surprised.
-My gosh.
-Oh.
Why did you turn the lights off?
Was the electricity out?
-No.
-No, it's not that.
Hey.
What is this?
My gosh.
What is this cumbersome
and inconvenient thing?
Oh, it's a side-view mirror.
I have to go now.
-Can you put this back?
-Okay. Sorry.
-I'll--
-Why are you all here?
What is this?
Why did you break the side-view mirror?
Put that back already.
-Tell me about it.
-Gosh, you always do this.
This time, the client is quite young.
Let's take good care of it. Okay?
-All right.
-Good.
Did you put it back?

Hi, I transferred to Sejeong High
from Yongsan High School,
and my name is Park Jeong-min.
Nice to meet you. I hope we can get along.
When I first transferred,
we all got along just fine.
Damn. What is this smell?
Why does it smell like a fish market?
Hey, wait. You.
Oh, shit.
My gosh.
Hey, open the windows.
-Su-nam, open the window.
-Hurry up. It stinks.
Did anyone grill fish?
Did you eat grilled fish?
No.
Why?
You reek like fish.
It must be because I helped my mom
at her store.
-Does it smell a lot?
-You reek.
Does he have fish in his bag?
Don't touch it. You'll smell too.
-But one day…
-Get out.
…they began to bully me for no reason.
You idiot.
-Hey, you idiot. Man.
-Do you know why we're hitting you?
-You don't?
-Asshole.
Hey.
-I can't study because of you!
-I can't study, you jerk.
-You parasite.
-Darn it.
-Jerk.
-A parasite?
-You idiot.
-What?
-What is it?
-He's on welfare! Weren't you listening?
-Stomp on him.
-Eat that.
Eat the dirt.
There was no use in telling the teacher.
Things are tough when you first transfer.
It's just that you all feel awkward.
You should give way
and try to be friendly to them, okay?
What's this smell?
You ought to wash your uniform more often.
My gosh.
TEACHERS' OFFICE
Hey, Jeong-min.
Why were you in there?
Did you have a good talk?
Were you holding hands with our teacher?
-I'm bored. Let's go to a karaoke room.
-Hey, are you a good singer?
-Their bullying…
-Jeong-min.
-…got worse and worse over time.
-Hey.
Wait for me!
They demanded money from me once a week.
And when I couldn't give it to them…
It's nothing, Jeong-min.
We've all done this before.
Our kind-hearted Parasite
can just say you were fooling around.
…they got me into a motorbike accident,
then took the compensation.
DOJEONG POLICE SUBSTATION
Yes. Let me know if you'll deal with this
internally or not.
Let us know when the school
violence committee decides.
All right.
-So--
-It'll be okay. You can go.
When I tried to get help…
Yes, the kimchi is excellent.
…their bullying became even worse.
The girls at school are…
Hey, he's here.
-There's Mr. Hotshot.
-You're late.
Hey, Jeong-min and his mom look the same.
These eggs aren't good.
-They're gross.
-Want to try this?
Okay, try it.
-Just eat it.
-Eat it.
Jeong-min, come.
The ramyeon is getting soggy.
Thank you for the food.
It must be very tough
for you to run a fish store alone.
Goodness.
You should be careful
when you use a knife, ma'am.
He's right.
You don't want to get stabbed.
The school violence committee is tomorrow.
Make sure you're there on time, Jeong-min.
Now, tell us honestly.
Did you hurt your leg
when you fell over by mistake?
Or was it
because they pushed you on purpose?
What is he saying?
They pushed you on purpose?
You said it was an accident!
DESIGNING ME, BECOMING CONFIDEN
I bumped into something
while we were fooling around.
Be honest with me.
Did you really get into an accident
while you were hanging out?
Mom.
Please.
I know you were just playing,
but your friend got hurt,
so you three should apologize.
I'm sorry.
Let's stop playing rough from now on.
Okay, Jeong-min?
Yes, we had ramyeon together too.
We're sorry.
Yes, think of all of our memories.
I'm sorry, Jeong-min.
Okay.
Jeong-min, if you had something to say,
you should've told the school first.
If you go out telling other people,
how would that make our school
and teachers look?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Darn it. This was absolutely nothing.
Thank you for making time.
-Sir, is your business doing well?
-Yes, of course.
We should go out and grab a drink.
-Sounds great.
-Okay.
-You should call your dad.
-All right.
Okay. Let's go.
I wonder if they know how I feel.
No.
Not at all.
If they knew, they couldn't do this.

Hello.
First off, thank you
for visiting Rainbow Deluxe Taxi.
Let me share a few precautions
for the safety of our passengers.
While we work on your request,
the taxi meter will continue to go up.
You will pay your fare
once the job is finished.
Depending on the situation,
you may be charged extra.
After you use our taxi service,
you must not tell anyone else
about what happened with Rainbow Taxi.
Please keep this secret.
Now, if you wish to get your revenge
on the people who harassed you,
push the blue button on the left.
If you don't want to punish them,
push the red button on the right.
Please make your choice.
You smell.
-I can't study because of you!
-I can't study, you jerk.
-You parasite.
-Darn it.
You should be careful

Do we really have to deal with

To some, this could be
a trivial story from their school days,
but for others,
it may be a matter of life or death.
Let's handle this quickly
and do something stylish, okay?
Any remarks?
Well, according to his records,
he has never
officially caused any trouble.
But Seung-tae's father is
the president of the alumni association
who makes lots of donations.
Other than that, nothing much.
Why don't you infiltrate the school?
-What about his homeroom teacher?
-One second.
Where is the teacher for Class Three?
The homeroom teacher is…
Over here.
There they are.
Why are there so many teachers?
Now, which one of them is his teacher?
-Number three.
-What?
Gosh, you're no fun.
It's not fun
because you always put the answer last.
Okay, then.
In this case,
the victim and the perpetrators are
all minors.
However, their youth does not make
the weight of their crimes any lighter.
You know that, right?
It doesn't matter who threw the stone.
It'll sink anyway.
What's the plan?

Sure.
Thank goodness.
One of our teachers has diarrhea
caused by acute enteritis.
He's taking a week off.
My gosh.
He must be very ill.
He said he goes to the bathroom
several times a day. I wonder what he ate.
We're lucky to have found a teacher
who could come in.
These days, schools can't function
without substitute teachers.
I'm flattered.
Please fill in for Class Three's
homeroom teacher for a week.
We'll pay you more than what others offer.
Students can't go without a teacher.
I'll do my best.
Perfect. You also teach math.
Math?
Math, seriously?
What choice did I have?
The teacher teaches math.
I can't do this. You have to change it.
You've already introduced yourself.
We can't change it now.
Mr. Hwang.
Hurry up.
This teacher will fill in
until your teacher returns.
Meet Mr. Hwang In-seong.
Be good to him.
-All right, you can begin your class.
-Okay.
It's nice to meet you all.
Since we've only just met,
I'll take attendance
so I can get to know you guys.
CLASS THREE STUDENTS
Let's see. Oh Su-nam?
Here.
-Seo Gang-Jun?
-Here.
Nice to meet you.
-Song Gwang-min?
-Here.
Great.
Jang Hyeong-sik?
Jang Hyeong-sik?
Well, I guess he's not here.
Excuse me.
I kept saying I was here.
Did you?
Sorry, I didn't hear you.
Please answer loudly next time.
What a joke.
Park Seung-tae?
Park Seung-tae?
Hey, where are you going?
-I'm stepping out.
-Class is still in session.
It's too nice out.
Hey, wait.
Well… Which chapter are you guys on?
Then let's review what you've learned
until your teacher returns.
And…
SINE AND COSINE RULES
The class will be focused
on audiovisual materials.
COFFEE, TEA, AND BEVERAGES
Mr. Hwang.
Hi.
What's up?
I have a favor to ask.
Okay.
A favor?
What is it?
Do you have any cigarettes?
What?
I forgot to pick some up this morning.
But… Even still,
a student shouldn't ask a teacher that.
Who's a teacher?
You're nothing more than a part-timer.
You're not a teacher.
You're very rude.
You're just a temp.
Do you want to be treated like a teacher?
Okay, then.
Mr. Hwang!
How could you hit a student? How?
-Gosh.
-Mr. Hwang.
Why did you suddenly hit me?
-I didn't hit you.
-A teacher hit a student!
-This is crazy. How could he?
-My gosh.
Goodness.
Let's settle with this.
I don't hold grudges, okay?
You'd better watch it.
Mr. Teacher.
Nice.
I think I just got mugged.
You think? You totally got mugged.
They took all your money.
PARK SEUNG-TAE
AWARDS, ACHIEVEMENTS
There were several anti-bullying hearings.
But his parents never came.
Only his uncle came,
but it was a different uncle each time.
His parents must be busy importing
and distributing Chinese batteries.
And a few years ago,
they got busier
when his dad ran for city council.
So they sent a different uncle each time?
-We should go clubbing again.
-We totally should.
Hak-su.
I want to pick up girls later,
so get the goodies.
-"Goodies"?
-Hak-su is a pro at this.
-Oh, I see.
-Go for it.
Ma'am.
-Will you sell these boxes to me?
-Sorry?
Just run a little errand for me,
and I'll pay you more than the junkyard.
How does it sound?
My gosh!
You're a good worker.
Here.
Have some warm soup.
Live long and proper.
Hey.
It's "Live long and prosper," you idiot.
You're as dumb as you look.
Hey, guys.
Stop fighting.
Let's go.
Ma'am!
Live long and prosper!
This is so nice. I feel great!
All right, guys.
-Cheers, everyone.
-Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Listen up!
-Do you know what I got for you?
-What is it?
Look forward to it.
My gosh! How did you get this?
Hey! Where there's a will, there's a way.
He looks old, you know.
I'll give you that!
-You guys always say that.
-How did you get in?
-With that face.
-Hak-su.
-Hak-su!
-Yes?
Dance!
-You want me to dance too?
-Yes!
Then I shall dance.
Look at them having a great time.
They're partying
with the money they stole.
Don't they feel bad?
Of course they don't.
They're immune to it.
They're immune?
The anti-bullying hearings
were like vaccines to them.
Even when they used violence,
all they had to do was apologize verbally.
So they have no reason to stop.
Because they were already immune to it,
they gradually became more aggressive,
and their sense of guilt became numb.
Who is this ugly punk?
Hey, Hak-su.
Hello, sir.
Hey.
-How have you been?
-I've been good.
Have a drink.
Here's the money.
-Did you do it right?
-Yes, Uncle.
Wait.
That's beyond being immature teenagers.
He went beyond that long ago.
I can guess who his uncles are.
My gosh. Who's this?
I suppose I misjudged you.
You party at places like this?
What?
Am I not allowed in places like this?
You know,
just seeing those youngsters
makes me feel rejuvenated.
You don't get kicked out?
No, I don't.
Because I own this place.
Did you have time to think about
my offer?
If you work for me,
I'll treat you much better
than Mr. Jang ever would.
Be it money or whatever else.
I'll give you everything you want.
Don't get in his way.
Ma'am, they're waiting.
Which room?
I'll escort you.
Hello, ma'am!
My gosh, hello!
Ma'am.
-Hello.
-Hello.
What is this?
Who said you could beat someone up?
We're sorry, ma'am.
Sweetie.
You're still young.
I understand. It's fine.
What's so bad about doing drugs?
The real problem is borrowing money
and not paying it back.
Well, just a little.
Don't worry.
Everyone makes mistakes, you know?
But you look very young.
You've got a nice face too.
Call Doctor Kim.
It's more than enough
to pay back the debt.
I called him.
Tell him to consider the interest as well.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Please…
Don't kill me. Please!
Please don't kill me!
Please…
NORTHERN DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
BLUEBIRD VICTIM SUPPORT CENTER
All done.
What do we do about that cop?
Just leave him alone.
I have an idea.
PROSECUTOR KANG HA-NA
MAIL CAR
Hello.
I'm dropping off the mail for you.
My gosh, that looks heavy.
There's so much today.
You should've asked me to come down.
You rarely pick up your phone.
This one's for us.
Prosecutor Kang.
This one is pretty heavy,
but there's no sender.
They must have couriered it.
CHANGSUNG JEOTGAL CASE
EXPLOITATION OF LABOR
DEPOSIT AND WITHDRAWAL DETAILS
HANRIM POLICE STATION
-What is this?
-What is it?
EVIDENCE 2: EXPLOITATION OF LABOR
EVIDENCE 3: SECURITY LOCKS
CAN ONLY BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE
ON OFFICIAL DUTY
My goodness.
Looks like you really milked them.
MIRO BANK
I'm really curious.
While exploiting the victims like this,
did you ever feel bad for them?
It wasn't me.
They said they were a social enterprise,
so I only helped them out.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you know that feeling sorry
won't be considered a mitigating factor.
Where are the accomplices?
How would I know?
They dumped it all on me and fled.
Only Park Ju-chan and I
had access to that information.
Do you think I sent it,
so you could arrest me?
Prosecutor Kang.
Park Ju-chan, Cho Jong-geun,
Choi Jong-suk's numbers
aren't in service now.
There are no credit card records,
and their whereabouts are unknown.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
They framed me and fled.
Darn it.
We can assume they're on the run
and not missing, right?
Yes, I think so.
But three villains disappeared at once?
What should we do?
Let's assume they've fled.
Put out an APB on them.
Yes, ma'am.
CHO JONG-GEUN,
CHOI JONG-SUK, PARK JU-CHAN
Clean this up.
Okay.
Wipe it clean.
-Okay.
-Su-nam.
-Yes?
-Want help?
No, it's okay.
Oh, you haven't sent the money yet.
Do you want to end up like Jeong-min?
-No.
-I told you to wipe it clean.
-Su-nam.
-Hey.
Hey, I'm talking to you.
-Get over here.
-Come here.
If you don't have enough money,
let me borrow one of these.
Let's go eat burgers for lunch today.
It'll be my treat.
Will I get into an accident
like Jeong-min did?
Shut it, you little…
Gosh, it reeks of cigarettes.
Who smoked in the bathroom?
It wasn't you. Right?
Right?
Su-nam.
Great timing.
I had something to tell you.
Let's go to the Teachers' Office.
Why don't you go ahead?
Su-nam and I are not done talking yet.
I don't appreciate that rude tone.
You're a student, and I'm a teacher.
Su-nam, do you still need to talk to him?
Yes.
I see.
You aren't done yet.
Well, you guys can talk next time.
Let's go.
Hey!
Get ready for your next class.
Go back to your classroom now.
Damn it.
This model came out 20 years ago.
Hello.
Why do you drive such a car?
Mr. Hwang, you seem like the quirky type.
I guess you dabble in everything.
I sure do.
Good work today.
-Thank you. Get home safely.
-Keep up the good work.
I'll do my best.
I've warned him.
That stupid temp.
He doesn't know his place.
How about I tail him
when he's on his way home
and teach him a lesson?
Yes, do that.
That's not enough.
He's been working hard,
so let's make him famous.
-How?
-How?
I've got an idea.
-Seung-tae never lets us down.
-My gosh.
He's so smart.
I haven't seen Jeong-min at all.
Tell him to stay out of my sight.
If he doesn't, he's dead.
Hey, don't.
You saw the look on his mom's face.
Who cares?
Darn it.
Hey. I don't see those grannies.
You're right. I don't see any of them.
-Where did they go?
-Hey, old man!
You, old man!
Wait, stop for a second.
Run a little errand for us,
and I'll buy all your boxes.
Hey, man. Why are you trembling?
Are you cold?
-What?
-What is this?
What is all this?
My gosh, you're a good salesman.
Can I take a few more?
He's professional.
-Hang on.
-No?
Are you that granny's boyfriend?
Hey, we're late. Let's just go.
We hope to run into you again.
Have a good day.
-Thank you.
-See you.
Hey.
-Did you bring it?
-Of course I did.
I picked the best of the best.
That's why I got no sleep last night.
Seriously? Let me see.
-No!
-Hey.
-Let's teach that temp a lesson.
-That's today?
-Let's go.
-Nice, let's go.
-Let's go!
-Let's go.
SEJEONG HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. Hwang.
Someone's in the library for you.
For me?
Yes.
You should hurry.
SEUNG-TAE
I got the teacher.
I GOT THE TEACHER
Do a good job, okay?
Seung-tae.
I don't think I can do this.
Don't you understand the situation?
That asshole will be gone in a week.
Who do you think will be here longer?
Later today,
they'll find some magazines
and your photos in his bag.
Just burst into tears
and say what I told you to say.
What do you say?
Can you do it?
Anybody here?
Hello, anybody here?
Hak-su.
Where are the parents
who were asking for me?
This is odd. No one's here.
Hak-su.
Where did Hak-su go?
LIBRARY
Mr. Hwang!
Oh, hello.
-What is it?
-What?
My gosh, what happened?
Hey, what's wrong? What happened?
Hey.
What happened?
-What's going on?
-What is it?
What happened?
What did he do to you?
In his bag,
you'll find my photos.
-What?
-My gosh.
In his bag?
Your photos are in his bag?
What kind of photos?
EPILOGUE
Hello?
Isn't this Ho-jeong's mother's number?
I'm in front of her place now,
but it doesn't look like anyone's home.
Pardon?
In the hospital?
She drank poison but was found early,
so she won't lose her life.
The detective said she was found
by her late daughter's grave,
so there's a chance she'll try again.
Okay, thank you.
Ma'am.
What is this?
Why would you do such a thing?
I heard everything.
Those scumbags
who ruined Ho-jeong
and drove her to her death…
won't be punished
because they're young.
My daughter is no longer with us,
but those scumbags will live just fine
as if nothing
ever happened.
How is this fair?
It's all my fault.
I should've been more attentive
when she was alive.
I had no idea she was suffering so much.
Work isn't even that important.
Ma'am.
Ma'am!
You see, people like us
can't give up on life
just because we want to.
Do you know why?
Because of our beloved families.
My parents
and Ho-jeong.
Because they didn't get to live
their full lives,
we must live it for them
until the day we die.
That is our duty.
And you know
that Ho-jeong enjoyed her life
and worked very hard.
So to be like her,
you'll have to become very diligent.
Take the yoga classes that she took
and join the choir at the church
where she used to volunteer.
She wanted to learn to play the guitar.
I'll sign you up for guitar lessons,
so learn that too.
If you die without doing anything
and meet Ho-jeong, she'll get angry at you
for giving up without doing anything.
GUEST APPEARANCE BY:
HAN JAE-SHIN, BAEK SI-WON
VOICE CAMEO BY: LEE YOUNG-AE
-Looks aren't everything!
-I bet he learned his lesson now.
-What's his deal?
-I don't want to learn from a temp.
-Are you mad? Then hit me.
-I got this.
You two can bow out.
Don't worry. I'm the only one who knows.
Seung-tae!
It's a home visit.
Lend me some money.
Something's fishy.
If suspects disappear,
it means they've fled.
It feels like they've been hunted.
-"Hunted"?
-Yes, that's what my gut's saying.
What I'm about to do now
is all out of love.
Think about the kids you've bullied.
