Who is helping me?

It's Eul from the hotteok stall.

The weather is so cold today.

You should have just stayed home.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

- Goodness. Thank you. - Grandma.

- Don't freeze to death just to look good. - I'm fine.

- Here. - My goodness.

What will you be left with if you give me all this?

I'm boiling hot.

I feel so bad.

I'll get the rest of the boxes.

Go and enjoy a date with the grandpa at the dry cleaners.

You look way too good to just go straight home.

That's 2,100 won for the hotteok plus 1,000 won for the tteokbokki .

It's 3,100 won in total.

Hey, you don't have to pay.

Eul.

Don't say that. Give me the money.

Mr. Handsome, you have a runny nose. How embarrassing.

Blow.

There you go.

Don't pay for the food.

I told you that anything you want is yours.

Go on home. Don't make your dad and brother wait.

- Thank you. - Wait.

TTOEKBOKKI, ODENG, HOTTEOK

You're too generous.

Are you a saint?

Are we rich? Does money grow on trees?

Do you know how much debt we're in?

His dad got hurt at a construction site and can't work.

Do you want to take his money?

I do. I desperately do.

Your own dad can't even afford to buy new clothes.

I lost so much weight because I barely eat...

If we could get the money you practically give away,

I wouldn't have to sell food in the freezing cold!

I'd be in a building with central heating

- sitting in a chair-- - Eul! No Eul!

What's up with her?

The bullies called Mun-hui to the gym to beat her up.

How dare they try to hit her!

- I should just-- - Stop!

Don't you dare go there.

Didn't I tell you not to get involved in other people's business?

She isn't just some other person.

Mun-hui is my friend.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Eul...

Eul!

Do you think you're a rescue team? Or a cop?

Or Wonder Woman?

Try to care for me as much as you care for others!

What a brat.

I hope she slips on a sheet of ice.

SIN JUN-YOUNG, YEAR 2 CLASSROOM 6, 10-DAY SUSPENSION

What's going on?

What happened?

A suspension?

Why would he be suspended?

Mrs. Sin!

Mr. Principal.

Why...

She's the mother of the student we just suspended.

What did Jun-young do wrong?

A group of boys tried to bully this girl,

so he stepped in and hit them, telling them to stop.

He got hit as well!

You should reward him instead.

Why did you suspend him?

Mrs. Sin.

You're a witness, so tell them what you saw.

Tell them Jun-young is being unfairly punished for helping you.

Tell them everything.

Why won't you speak?

Mrs. Sin, according to her statement,

the boys did not bother her at all.

They were just standing around talking

when your son barged in and picked a fight with them.

How...

That's impossible.

Is that...

Is that what you really said?

Why did you lie?

Did your parents tell you to?

Instead of standing up

for a poor widow's son who saved your life,

you decided to defend the rich kids?

Are you hoping you'd get something in return?

- Did your parents tell you to do that? - Mrs. Sin.

You bitch.

You ungrateful brat! How dare you!

- Mom! - You can't do that to her!

Please

cancel the punishment.

My son will become a prosecutor.

This punishment will remain on his records

and that will ruin his whole future.

I promise I will set him straight.

I will make sure he never throws a punch again.

Please...

Please take it back, sir.

Please, sir.

Hey.

Did you hear Jun-young got suspended?

It was his fault for getting involved without knowing his place.

- Can I ask you something? - What's he on about?

Don't you get it? We're powerful people.

We're nobles that commoners like you must never touch.

So,

a nobody like me

interrupted something

you, young masters of noble birth, were planning.

Don't you think

it shouldn't have ended with a mere suspension?

So I thought

I should just utterly crush one of you

and get expelled instead.

Any volunteers?

Sit up straight.

You still haven't got your head on straight.

- What would change if I did? - What?

Would the others

get punished equally regardless of who their dads are?

What? How dare you.

Because you were raised by a single mother,

I was trying to show you some pity.

Why are you showing me pity?

- What right do you have, sir? - Let go.

What's wrong with you?

- I should just-- - Stop right there!

Stop that if you value your job and your life.

You're beating him like he's a drum.

If you keep beating one that hard, it'll break.

If you keep belittling and mocking him,

I will call his father over.

You wouldn't dare stay seated if his dad showed up.

You'd be down on the floor

begging him for your life and his forgiveness.

- Jeong-sik. - Jeez. Is that true?

Call the father then so I can finally meet him.

I wonder what he's doing

when his son is such a mess.

- I'm quite curious. - Very well, then.

He's incredibly busy working for the government.

But if he were to hear his son was getting hit,

he'd leave everything to come over.

- Stop it, Jeong-sik. - Keep quiet.

Jun-young's father

will crush the other kids' dads.

A member of the city council? The chief of police?

- They'd all be dead! - I said stop it!

A dead man can't come here.

That's just nonsense.

DNA was found

on a steel pipe at the suspect's factory.

Other than that of the seven victims we knew about,

we found the DNA of two more female victims.

We handed the DNA samples over to...

Eat the tofu

so you can stay out of prison.

Don't lie about my dad again.

Well...

It might not be a lie.

This was not just a fire.

It was arson intended to destroy evidence.

Do you have evidence to support that claim?

What if

he is your father?

The fire did not spread up the walls--

What if that famous prosecutor is your father?

I'd kill him.

He abandoned my mom and me

and he's doing just fine.

- He's even on TV. - It's not on purpose.

Your dad doesn't even know you exist.

Your mom hid the fact she was pregnant and ran away.

How would he know you exist?

What do you mean by that?

Gosh.

I mean...

I just meant

that could be a possibility, that's all.

You know...

Goodness.

I couldn't think straight because of you.

I just blurted out whatever came into my head.

Where are you going? You need to eat.

I'm going to ask my mom.

- About what you said. - Don't.

You know what she's like. If she heard what I said about him,

she'd go crazy and kill my whole family.

She'll kill both my kids, I know it.

Sit down.

PROSECUTOR CHOI HYEON-JUN IS INVESTIGATING THE CRIME

Your father hid

the fact that he was studying law.

He worked as a waiter at a bar.

And your mom

worked in the kitchen there.

The two of them fell in love.

Your mother

had barely graduated from middle school,

but she was incredibly pretty.

Jun-young,

if your mom

finds out I told you this,

she will kill me, so don't tell her.

Okay?

One day,

Choi Hyeon-jun's older brother came by.

He told your mom,

"Hyeon-jun goes to the best university in Korea,

and he will become a prosecutor or a judge.

He's not the kind of man a woman like her

who didn't get much education should dream of dating."

Mom.

Your mom

acts like she's strong and fierce,

but she's actually soft-hearted and kind.

Do you know that?

She's also great at knowing where she stands.

If she had to die for your father, she would have.

What are you doing out here?

Were you waiting for me?

Why did they release a bully who beats up other people?

They should have locked you up. Why would they let you go?

There are so many criminals, there was no room for me.

They told me to come back later.

What?

Did you skip dinner?

I'm hungry, too.

I don't have food for you!

If you're hungry, go back and ask the prison guard to feed you.

Prison guards work in prisons, not police stations.

What should I do with you?

Aren't you offering any to your own son?

You get the worst grades in your class,

but your mom insists on making you a prosecutor.

It's all because of your father.

She wants to make you a prosecutor

and then introduce you to your dad.

She wants to show him that even without his help,

she raised you well to be just like him.

She wants to show off.

I'm not getting tutored anymore.

Fire the tutor tomorrow.

We pay 300,000 won a month in rent.

How can we pay a tutor 1.5 million won a month?

Why did you help the girl?

Since when did you care so much about justice?

You wouldn't have cared even if someone died in front of you.

Exactly.

I just lost my mind for a while.

I found out you work at a bar to afford the tutor.

Gosh.

Forget about it. I'm just as dumb as you are.

No amount of tutoring can make me a prosecutor.

Fine. I won't care what you do with your life!

You can fight for a living,

or fight and end up in prison for years.

Do whatever you want! Punk.

Number three.

It's Sin Jun-young. Oh, my gosh!

- He's getting off. - Hey!

Get out of my way.

- Darn. Did you see that? - Gosh.

Gosh, he took the seat.

You must get a lot of offers from entertainment companies.

You'll find out when you sign with us

that we're not like all the other entertainment agencies.

If you'll spare me some time...

Hey.

Why did you ignore me?

I passed you seven notes asking you to see me.

You're not my type.

You're not mine, either.

Ever since you rejected her,

Na-ri stopped eating and drinking.

What will you do?

Must I do something?

Because of you, my friend won't eat or sleep--

What does that have to do with me?

- She said she wants to die. - Let her die then.

If she dies, I'll kill you!

I'm telling you, it's serious.

She won't eat, sleep or go to school. She just cries.

Can't you help out?

Bring her back to health and then dump her.

- Just until she's ready to-- - Is this your job?

How much do you get for this?

Hey.

What are you doing?

I think you're sick.

Get some help.

Shall I call your parents?

Gosh. Stop crying.

You need to eat.

I brought some of my dad's hotteok and tteokbokki .

I won't eat.

Just let me

waste away like this and die.

Why do you want to die over a jerk like him?

Is he the only guy alive?

You're our famous neighborhood beauty.

Shall I line up all the boys who like you?

I don't care unless it's Jun-young.

Eul, I envy you.

He isn't your type.

I envy you because you can choose not to like him.

What are you doing here, getting your hair done?

I'm going to confess my feelings.

To who? The boy you have a crush on?

- Make me so pretty that he'll fall for me. - Got it.

Hello, pretty Na-ri.

Remember the pink dress that you wore last time?

Can I borrow it for just three hours?

It's for an important occasion.

I might get a boyfriend really soon.

I'll tell you if you lend me the dress.

Okay, I'll come over for it in a bit.

Sin Jun-young,

my name is No Eul.

I've liked you for a long time.

I know you're really popular with the other girls,

but I am your destiny.

You can't get away from...

I'm not actually going to say that.

Jang-su,

did you sell a lot of hotteok today?

You little brat.

Are you drunk?

Why would a high school kid get drunk?

Can't a girl try to be cute for her dad?

What is it now?

Do you need money?

Do you have a friend who can't pay her tuition fees?

Are we rich? Does money grow on trees?

Do you know how much debt we're in?

Dad,

buy me a drink.

You've lost your mind. Go home and go to bed!

I guess we're family after all.

He knows I lost my mind right away.

Did I wake you, Jik?

I'm waiting for Dad. It's a surprise.

I'll spend some time with Dad. Wash up and go to bed.

Shit.

Dad!

Hey!

You!

Stop!

Hey!

Stop!

Choi Hyeon-jun speaking.

It's me, Yoon Seong-ho.

Hello, Mr. Yoon.

Just a moment.

Is something wrong?

My daughter is in trouble.

I need your help.

- We have to close now. - Okay.

THE NEWS CHANNEL UPHOLDING LAW AND JUSTICE

The person who hit your father turned himself in.

Are you saying he hit my father?

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

No. It wasn't him.

My father was hit by a female driver.

It was a red sports car, - plate number Seoul-3 - G-3126.

I'm sorry. I deserve to die!

Why are you saying you deserve to die?

It wasn't you.

You didn't hit my father! Why are you lying?

I'm just leaving the subway station.

I thought the roads would be too busy so I rode the subway.

I left my car in the office parking lot.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Tell that to the chief prosecutor for me.

Oh, no.

It's raining.

Oh dear.

Gosh.

Are you going to the Prosecutors' Office?

Yes. How do you know that?

You're a famous prosecutor.

I saw you on TV.

I want to become a prosecutor.

I plan to go to the university you went to.

You must be doing very well in school.

Well...

Your parents must be proud.

You have a goal,

and you have enough determination to reach it.

I have children as well,

and kids these days are useless.

They have no goals or principles,

and no perseverance at all.

I envy your parents.

The rain stopped.

I guess it was just a passing shower.

Have a nice day, sir.

Thank you.

I'd love to see you as a prosecutor one day.

Yes, sir.

Hey.

I hate being in someone's debt.

Can you spare me ten minutes?

Yes, I think I can.

PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

She vandalized your car, sir.

Did my car wrong you in any way?

I came here over 20 times,

but you avoided me with excuses

that you were busy or not in.

I thought this would be the only way to get to see you.

- Send everyone out. - Yes, sir.

So,

why did you have to take such measures to see me?

My father's hit-and-run case.

The case shouldn't be closed like this.

You don't have the criminal.

The man who confessed didn't do it.

A rant like that won't really help.

Let's see.

In an organization,

there are duties, responsibilities and hierarchies.

I don't know why you want to see me,

but I can't interfere with every detail.

The detective said so.

That everything changed after you interfered.

The suspect changed, the car changed,

the statements and the prosecutor in charge changed.

Will you give the detective a message for me?

If he has time to pen a lame novel,

he should focus on his job.

He thinks someone powerful is behind this.

That there's nothing we can do.

He said someone like me couldn't win this fight.

So, I should keep quiet and settle.

I don't have enough time to go on

listening to a third-rate novel.

I'm sorry to send you away when you traveled so far.

I never told you

where I live or where I'm from.

You knew who I was.

That's why you avoided me.

You hid the real criminal and covered up--

You're wearing a uniform I've never seen before.

I assumed you go to a school far from here.

Go home now.

You're my daughter's age, so I was being nice,

but this is where my patience ends.

I envy your parents.

Are you that happy?

Someone has been starving for days because of you

- but you look so happy. - Haven't you seen a doctor yet?

Someone as dangerous as you shouldn't be unsupervised.

Why on Earth does she like you?

I would have snapped both her legs if she were my daughter.

Our country is a mess because jerks like you want to be prosecutors.

I heard you dumped Na-ri because you wanted to focus on your studies.

You don't even rank 200th in your school! Why do you even bother studying?

Don't meet women and don't date women.

Don't even get married. Waste your whole life studying.

If you study until you are 80,

then maybe you might pass the bar exam.

I'm sorry you had to wait.

Here. It's a gift for keeping me dry.

Hold on.

What's your name?

We're bound to meet again.

I should autograph it for you.

Some other time.

I'll study hard

and come back with a bar exam certificate. Give it to me then.

I'll give you my name then, too.

Okay, then.

I'll keep this for you until then.

Okay. Thank you.

Sorry, but could you sit somewhere else?

We're friends.

We're not friends.

Try seducing me then.

No boy who's madly in love

would put studying over his crush.

He'd only do that if he didn't like her that much.

See if you can seduce me.

Make me too crazy to study

so that I'd give up trying to be a prosecutor.

If you won't seduce me, I'll seduce you.

Please take a look. Thank you.

Eul, are you asleep?

No, I'm not.

Goodness. I'm so sleepy.

Did your parents find a part-timer?

- Why? - Can I take the job if there's no one yet?

Are you out of money?

Your dad's hospital bills must be huge.

I just have to work.

Why don't you settle?

- He didn't do it. - Isn't that Sin Jun-young?

Yes, that's him.

- What is he doing here? - Is that for someone here?

Gosh! It's really him!

Is he here to see Na-ri?

To apologize for dumping her?

Does he

want her back?

It's none of your business, stay out of it.

Gosh, you're not in a position to say that.

I skipped school because it's our 100th day together.

And you're just going to ignore me?

What? Our 100th day?

Who?

Congratulations.

I love you, Eul.

You're so cute.

I keep thinking of you and I just can't concentrate.

- Na-ri. - Na-ri!

- Na-ri! - Na-ri.

Na-ri.

We might as well go public.

You did nothing wrong. I'm the jerk.

You're crazy! What are you talking about?

Be quiet. I'll deal with it.

Sorry about this, Na-ri.

Things just happened.

Find a guy way better than me.

What's gotten into you?

You've barely laughed in your whole life.

Did you see a turd roll by or something?

Not a turd.

I gave someone a warning.

"You little brat, you picked on the wrong guy."

What are you saying?

- Jeong-sik. - What?

Why am I such an evil jerk?

Who do I take after?

Did you overuse your brain? What's wrong with you?

Something really is wrong with you.

I think you should quit studying for your own sake.

Studying isn't for everyone.

What should we do with you?

Stop laughing!

What a jerk.

Who?

Sin Jun-young.

What should I do about him?

Jun-young?

He's not even a human being.

He's anything but a human being. He's a jerk.

Dad, Eul is saying bad words.

I wasn't cursing. I'm just merely stating a fact, Dad.

It looks like

I stole a friend's boyfriend and now everyone hates me.

Dad,

wake up and take revenge for me.

You want him to wake up to take revenge for you?

How old are you?

I'm older than you.

Dad, wake up and buy me a pizza.

One with sweet potato and bacon with cheese crust.

You want him to wake up to buy you a pizza?

That's why you're a kid.

Go and watch Pororo.

Dad, I need you to wake up.

Use your hotteok spatula to slap Jun-young--

- Dad. - You shouldn't say things like that.

Dad, wake up and tell her off.

Dad!

Nurse!

Patient No Jang-su, time of death is 11:40 p.m.

No!

Dad, don't die!

Doctor, please save my dad!

- Eul, tell him to save Dad. - Dad.

Tell him to save Dad.

I'm sorry.

LOOKING FOR WITNESSES

The hotteok guy is dead.

What? Wasn't he in a hit-and-run recently?

Goodness. He didn't wake up in the end.

I feel bad for Eul.

My mom said

that she disappeared with her brother before the funeral.

Why? Where did she go?

I don't know where they went.

They found out after he died that he took a huge loan.

Her mom was sick for a long time before she died.

Why did they disappear?

To get away from the loan sharks.

They came after he was dead and threatened those poor kids.

- It wasn't a pretty sight. - Aren't you dating her?

Didn't she tell you anything?

FUNERAL SERVICES INFO

LATE NO JANG-SU NO EUL, NO JIK

How dare you come back here?

We all chipped in to pay for the ceremony.

We paid because you wouldn't let the kids hold a funeral!

You're human scum.

Isn't it enough that you chased Eul and Jik away?

Are you back for our money now?

No one chased them away.

They took our money and disappeared.

They didn't take it.

Where would they even get the money to pay you back?

Don't you have a family? Or children?

Darn it. Why did they borrow from us then?

They should sell their bodies or something to pay us back.

- How dare you! - Don't you dare say that!

The victim of the hit-and-run

died last night.

The man who turned himself in

was let off with a two-year probation.

The case is closed.

Thank you for your work.

I will never forget what you did for me.

How is your daughter doing?

I sent her abroad that same night.

She was a complete wreck.

She needs some time off to travel and recuperate.

I see.

It's just

one small mistake.

We'll still become in-laws, won't we?

Of course.

Well done. Try harder and let's beat Ho-cheol next time.

- Yes, ma'am. - Good.

Jun-young!

Jun-young.

He improved incredibly in this exam.

His ranking climbed over 100 places.

- Gosh. - Not again.

It's such a pity no one else is here to see that.

He sleeps whenever he can.

Give him a few minutes and he dozes off.

You're so young but you're so feeble.

Will you ever be able

to support a wife and kids?

Me? Support a wife and kids? No way.

- They can support me. - What?

- You idiot. - Too bad there's no one else to see this.

Give me that.

Hurry up already. Let's not keep the teachers waiting.

Yes, ma'am. Get to work!

That hurts, Dad!

It was meant to hurt.

I wasn't trying to tickle you, moron.

Will you stop cursing?

Stop calling your own son names.

- I'll tell Mom if you don't stop. - Go on.

Get lost. I can't stand the sight of you.

She must have been really sick of you

if she sent you to me and then cut off contact

after raising you herself for over 20 years.

She sent me to you because she was upset

that her new guy favored his son over me.

Jeez, Jeong-sik!

Can we please hurry?

Take some rice cake.

Enjoy the food.

I hope it's to your liking.

Enjoy.

Don't just stand there. Come and eat!

Come in.

THANK YOU, TEACHERS. HELP YOURSELVES!

Do you like the food?

Dig in.

Goodness, Mr. Principal!

I'm so glad you came.

- What's all this? - Thanks to the teachers,

Jun-young's grades have improved so much.

He improved more than any student in his year.

As a mother, I have to do something, right?

Thank you, sir. I'm in...

- I'm in... - "Your debt."

Thank you so much.

that you carried my dad's portrait

at the funeral.

Thank you, Jun-young.

Did you change your mind?

Is that why you're back?

You know

I'm not doing this

just so I can work or something.

This documentary will work wonders

to change your image of an arrogant punk.

I do.

You're Sin Jun-young.

- Even my landlady's children know you. - No Eul.

You jerk.

But so what?

Will you do the documentary if I say so?

You won't.

You'll just be the same jerk you always were.

Thanks for this.
