Original subtitles

Here.

Have a drink.

That's right.

Scoot over.

Go on and have a drink.

However, she did not intend to kill.

Since she's underage and it's her first crime,

based on the juvenile court order, she'll be imposed with the 10th Act.

You killed my brother!

You killed my brother.

You should die too!

You should die too!

That's my boy.

Jo Bang-wool.

What are you doing here? You're underage!

Bang-wool!

Bang-wool, are you okay?

Bang-wool, can you recognize me?

Bang-wool.

Sir, excuse me.

Wait!

-We're still drinking, you rude jerk. -Anyone!

-You're being rude. -Anyone, please bring some water.

Go Bok-dong, why are you here?

Bang-wool, why did you follow me here? Have you lost your mind?

What are you doing out here?

It's okay, Bang-wool. I'm here for you.

Do you know them?

No, sir.

You can't fool me, you know them. Who are they?

He's my homeroom teacher, and she's in my class.

You're his homeroom teacher?

His homeroom teacher and his student.

You look good together.

Who are you?

That's none of your business. Have fun.

She must have drunk a lot.

You!

Bang-wool, let's get up first. Can you do that?

Goodness, Bang-wool!

Bang-wool! Jo Bang-wool!

What's going on?

You had heart surgery, right? Tell me your mom's number.

This could be bad for your heart.

I don't have the energy to fight with you.

Please do me a favor and leave me alone.

I'm not going to leave you like this. I'm your guardian.

Do you want me to call your mom or take you home myself?

You choose.

-Please. -Your mom worries about you.

She doesn't worry.

All parents worry about their children.

You speak as if you have children.

I have children.

You're all my children.

You could have been in trouble.

You could die if something goes wrong with your heart, okay?

I know you're afraid. Even if you pretend not to, I can see that you are.

I know you're scared.

You're being stubborn because you don't want to fail.

Don't be like that, Bang-wool.

Winning isn't always good. Being scared is not something to be ashamed of.

What's important is that you protect yourself.

Nothing else is more important than yourself.

People who have children don't say that.

The person who's more important than yourself...

is your child.

Bang-wool!

Excuse me, sir.

That may not be necessary since she gets scared easily--

Don't think about it.

They're the ones who think.

All we have to do is follow their orders.

Kids these days often kill themselves.

She also made herself to jump off.

Due to school violence, she committed suicide.

Who did it?

The world is more generous to kids like you.

Sir.

If we make it look like suicide, there won't be a problem.

The maximum years you would get in the detention center is two years.

I'll take care of you afterward.

This is the first test you must pass before entering this world.

If you pass this, your life will be set.

Your brother will need help once he's released.

Drink.

What? Ahn Dong-chil?

-Yes. -The one who hit Ah-ran

is involved with Dong-chil?

-Yes. -How could that be?

Does Dong-chil know that Ah-ran is your daughter?

Did he recognize you?

Dong-chil didn't see me.

Before he could, I got away.

Don't get involved in this.

I'll figure it out with Dong-chil.

Dong-chil should also know Ah-ran is your daughter.

He can't ever know.

Is it Dong-chil? Did something happen with Dong-chil in the storage?

No.

Then?

Was it Beom?

Ah-ran is...

my daughter.

She's not related to anyone else. She's my daughter.

I'm warning you one last time.

If you come near my brother again,

I'm going to tear your face apart.

Got it?

Do you

even know what Beom's dream is?

He wants to be a prosecutor after going to law school.

But...

he said he won't go to law school.

It's because he doesn't want to put his own brother in prison.

Come to your senses, Dong-chil.

The one destroying Beom's life...

is you.

You haven't come to your senses yet.

I'm going to destroy you today.

It will be the end of you.

Hey, have you ever stabbed someone?

Here you go. Stab me.

Stab me. Does it hurt?

Hey, this isn't something you play with.

I like you. Let's play.

Let me go. No, let go.

Let go.

Let me go.

Call the police.

Goodness. Beom! Why did you come so late?

-Where's Kang-ja? -She's in the storage.

But what should we do? Your brother is with Kang-ja.

-Call the police first. -Yes.

What is Dong-chil doing?

Is he really doing it to Kang-ja?

Didn't I say he would do something like that?

It's all because of you.

It's because you talked nonsense to Dong-chil.

Goodness, Beom!

If something happens to Kang-ja, I'm going to kill you!

Jong-man, Sang-man.

You'll have to look for someone in secret.

You're right. Ah-ran's your daughter and not related to anyone else.

If you want to keep it that way, you must stop getting involved in this.

If you get involved with Dong-chil, Ah-ran can't be protected.

But what about what happened to Ah-ran?

I'm sorry, Ah-ran...

that I'm not a better person for you.

I'm so sorry.

-Mom. -Yes, what is it?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Mom, at my school--

If this is about transferring to another school, my answer is still the same.

There's no school as good as Myungsung High School.

That's not what I'm saying. Mom, I...

Yes, Manager Choi.

Of course the reporters' privilege is protected.

Yes, it'll be in the morning newspaper.

E-COMPLAINT

CIVIL COMPLAINT APPLICATION

SEOUL METROPOLITAN OFFICE OF EDUCATION

CONFIRMATION OF APPLICANT

Where's the smoke coming from?

What's going on?

-Kang-ja! -Yes, Mother.

No!

What a waste!

I was wondering why you were cooking fish for breakfast.

It became fried.

When it comes to meat, you always fry it.

Why are you not bringing leftover meat from the restaurant these days?

The side dishes aren't so good.

There are no leftovers these days.

With that money, do you eat meat by yourself and serve us fried fish?

The inside isn't burnt.

That's not enough.

If you're not going to eat it, I will.

The inside isn't burnt.

Goodness, you're my child but still impolite.

My daughter-in-law burns everything.

You should have some.

You hold your chopsticks exactly like your mother.

If you don't know how to use them, use the spoon.

Eat different side dishes as well.

You have a particular taste, just like your mother.

Did you see anything from the US in the mail?

Wait one moment.

This one is from San Francisco.

She took a long time to respond.

Thank you for the meal.

You take care of it.

Excuse me, but I think you should personally take this.

"Despite Han Mi-joo's several attempts to come to an agreement,

the fact that you have postponed it

for several years

may have a negative impact while filing for the divorce.

As Han Mi-joo's legal representative,

I'll proceed with the entire divorce suit,

instead of Han Mi-joo..."

You said to reach out to you when I need help, right?

I'll also say that to you.

If you need help, feel free to reach out to me.

I think we can help each other.

SELF-STUDY SESSION

Hurry up.

-Rock-paper-scissors. -What are you doing?

That's annoying. Next one, go to the counseling office.

I hate our homeroom teacher.

Do you know what he said to me as advice for my future plans?

-"I hope to stay shameless while... -"I hope to stay shameless while...

-looking up at the sky until I die." -looking up at the sky until I die."

"I felt pain even at the sight of the wind among the leaves."

What is the meaning of "the wind among the leaves"?

That's what I said in class when I first came to this school.

What's the wind that's stressing you out these days?

Do you have any concerns?

I don't have any.

Do you know why Ah-ran hasn't been attending school?

It says here that Wang Jung-hee teased and bothered you

because you're close to Ah-ran.

Is it because of that?

It's okay. You can tell me anything.

It's natural for you to do that at your age. It's not strange at all.

I understand everything.

It's not like that.

You don't know anything.

NEED TO HELP HER GET ALONG WITH HER CLASSMATES!

I don't have any concerns.

I know your brother's in prison.

Darn it.

What's that got to do with my future plans?

NEED TO TEACH HIM HOW TO SPEAK POLITELY!

If I have concerns, will you solve them for me?

Of course, I can't solve all of your concerns.

If you can't,

don't even ask.

There's no one stupid enough to expose his weakness to a teacher.

Don't bother with this, instead, teach us better.

DOES HE HAVE LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL TO BE THE SCHOOL PRESIDENT?

-I'm going to eat some jelly. -Give me some.

Come on, give me some.

Is it good?

Jo Bang-wool.

It's your turn.

Is it PE class next?

Yes.

Tell him I can't go because I'm on my period.

-Bring the ball to me. -Give it to her.

Get rid of her.

-Give it to me. -I got it.

-Shoot. -Hurry. I'll block him.

-Come on. -Let's go.

-Pass it to me. -Go.

Why did you do that?

You're right. Ah-ran's your daughter and not related to anyone else.

If you want to keep it that way, you must stop getting involved in this.

If you get involved with Dong-chil, Ah-ran can't be protected.

Why didn't you say anything?

Is it because you're afraid of the guy who's higher than Bok-dong?

How do you know?

No matter how scared you were, you should have told me.

I'm Ah-ran's mother.

I'm sorry,

but I come to my senses.

That person won't go near Ah-ran again.

I'm going to protect Ah-ran.

So please tell Ah-ran to come back to school.

Why did Bok-dong do that to Ah-ran?

There must be a reason why Bok-dong hit Ah-ran.

I need to know the reason so he doesn't do that to her anymore.

I'll tell you everything.

Actually, I...

What are you doing when the class is in session?

Are you okay?

So, Ah-ran can't talk at all?

I don't know exactly.

I just heard about it through friends.

I think she was quite shocked.

That's why you fought after seeing her desk on the first day.

It was because she was your friend since childhood.

I didn't know that.

It's okay. I was thankful to you.

You said school violence is not allowed in any situation.

I'm sorry that I got upset at you.

I'm thankful to you for saying that.

What did Yi-kyung say?

Yi-kyung wants Ah-ran to come back to school.

That's what she's hoping.

But it's up to Ah-ran.

I heard what you said before.

The difference between the assailant and the victim is whether you have power.

You gain power to do the same to the assailant

or find a protector who's stronger than you.

If you can't do the same to the assailant,

would this school really be able to protect you?

My duty is to make the students feel safe.

Drink this.

Yi-kyung, don't you have something to say to me?

-No. -That's strange.

You seemed to have something to tell me.

Come on, you do have something to say.

Right? You do, right?

Stop making fun of me.

I'm serious right now.

I know, it is serious.

At your age, everything seems serious.

But once you get older, things aren't as important.

Even the things that were difficult aren't as bad when you look back.

There's also a poem entitled "What raised me was mostly the wind."

Do you know that poem?

The world may seem beautiful to you like in a poem,

but it's like hell for me.

You have no idea.

No, Yi-kyung, that's not what I meant.

Let me go!

I came up with a plan, if you keep doing this to me.

What plan?

I also told it to Mr. Do.

I told him I'll do something about it if you come near me again.

So you dug yourself your own grave.

I know Mr. Do has ordered you to do this.

I'm not scared of you anymore.

I'm Mr. Do's Achilles heel.

So did you tell everything to Mr. Park?

No.

To the Office of Education.

-Are you crazy? -I'm warning you.

Tell him if he does it again, I'll tell everything about him.

You'll die before that!

Go and tell your mom.

No, don't tell her anything. Just move out of town.

Whether you run away from home or not, don't come to this school.

If not, you'll really die.

Do you understand?

When should I schedule the returning ticket?

I'll have to see.

My return will all depend on my wife.

Keep your eye on Do Jung-woo while I'm not here.

Don't forget I'm watching everything that's happening in school.

Yes, Chairman. I want to be on your side.

If you do well while I'm gone,

I'll make you the director.

Let's go.

The position anyone could have.

This is Joo Ae-yeon.

I meant to call you before.

Did the chairman depart?

Yes.

Go Bok-dong.

I have something to say to you.

I don't have time for you.

It's about Ahn Dong-chil.

Darn it.

Amazing.

-They're going to fight. -Gosh.

Is it going to be Bok-dong or Bang-wool?

Do we finally have girl power at Myungsung High School?

What do you mean?

What do you mean by that?

Are they going to fight?

Where did they go?

Seoul, Daejeon Daegu, Busan, uh-huh!

TAENGGURI'S MOM

Hello? Hello, Mr. Park.

It's nothing urgent, but I have something to notify.

Bang-wool isn't answering her phone.

When Bang-wool gets back home,

could you please tell her to call me back?

Sure, yes.

What does he have to say?

-Goodness. -What's wrong with you?

Are you picking your nose again? You're so dirty.

Drink the water on the table if you're thirsty.

Goodness! What's that sound?

What are you doing?

Eat some.

Am I crazy? I don't know what you put in it.

Did you live a life full of lies?

Look.

Is it okay now?

Here, have some.

You think I'm poor?

Just tell me what you have to say. How do you know Dong-chil?

I spent some time with the crowd.

Who? I would know anyone who knows Dong-chil.

That's not important.

Let me ask you three things. Be sure to answer well.

First, why did you do that to Ah-ran?

What's your relationship with Ah-ran?

Second, are you going to do it again to Ah-ran?

What if I do?

I told you to answer well.

This is my last question.

Why are you working for a bad person like Ahn Dong-chil?

Because I'm also a bad person.

So you should behave in front of me.

A bad person like me can do anything in this world.

It's not difficult for me to hurt some girl like you.

Let's eat first, then we'll talk.

FATTY MOM

Ahn Dong-chil, that piece of trash.

Poor kid.

I had this thought for the first time.

Once you get to know Bok-dong, he may be someone I could sympathize with.

He can't help it because he has to follow orders.

We're the same.

We follow orders from the adults even if we don't want to.

Sometimes we don't know anything

and we just follow what they say.

That's different.

There are things we shouldn't do even though we've been told to.

You're right,

but...

that's what I did.

I did everything he told me to do.

There was no one on my side.

When no one was there to help me,

he was the one who saved me.

As long as I was obedient...

I thought he would like me forever.

I thought he would protect me.

I thought he would keep me safe forever.

You know it's not true anymore.

I know that now.

There are things you should never do no matter what they say.

No one protects you even if you follow what they say.

You have to protect yourself no matter what.

-Yi-kyung. -There's one person.

You were always on my side even if I didn't follow what you said.

I'm sorry

that I can't do more for you.

Thank you.

Thank you for staying by my side.

What are you looking for?

A book of poetry by Seo Jeong-joo.

"What raised me was mostly the wind.

The more you live, the more shameful things you'll see in this world"

It's a great poem.

Did you ever feel that way?

I'm not that different.

Everyone grows old thinking that.

He will send it to you.

It's good to meet you, Director Hwang.

I'll be working more with the Metropolitan Office of Education from now on.

I heard the news from the chairman.

The head of the Ministry of Education looks after Myungsung High School.

But you're in charge of it all, Director Hwang.

-Enjoy your time. -Okay.

What?

You look different today.

In order to get what I want

I would have to know exactly what you want.

That's how we can help each other.

What do you want from me?

People like you and me.

List of the main personnel Chairman Hong is against with and their weaknesses.

Chairman Hong has control of most of their weaknesses.

If their weakness is money, they tend to be weak when faced with power.

My weakness is power.

Really?

You can check with Mr. Ahn.

Okay.

What do you think it is that I want?

I'll take you out of hell.

You don't know who reported it?

What do you mean "what we should do?"

You know we don't receive anonymous complaints.

Follow the rules.

Where's Mr. Do?

-He's in the restroom. -Call him out here.

Mr. Do?

Are you here, Mr. Do?

Yes, Mr. Ahn?

Well...

Director Hwang is looking for you.

What is it?

Have you gone crazy?

This place is full of Chairman Hong's people.

A beacon does not shine on its own base.

If you're lonely, come see me.

I'm not interested in a man who sold his woman for money.

Is Do Jung-woo the illegitimate son of Minister of Education?

You heard a top secret while kissing him.

Don't worry. I have a plan.

I told you not to think for yourself.

Chairman Hong has too much power over us.

There's no harm in having plans.

Don't ask for help from me in the future.

The informant and its content have been kept anonymous,

but how could you let Myungsung High School be related to that?

On top of that, a sex scandal between a teacher and a student?

Thank goodness for anonymity. If the names had been revealed

it would have caused a big trouble at the Ministry of Education.

Keep the students under control.

I didn't know you would call me so fast.

I just heard some news. What's that about?

Is this what you were referring to when you said "I would come to see you?"

The teacher, is that you?

If I knew it could be this easy, I would have reported it on the website.

I hadn't thought of that.

I gave you a clear warning.

No matter what you do, I won't clean up for you.

If you keep being foolish, remember

that I can get rid of my own blood.

JIN YI-KYUNG

The number you have dialed...

Here's some water.

What do you want from me?

Is this why you're giving me food and pretending to be friendly?

Stop acting and tell me what you want.

Does Ahn Dong-chil ask you to do things while giving you food?

That's not food. He's just feeding you.

That's given to dogs, not people.

While feeding dogs, he says to stop, sit,

bite, pretend to be dead.

That's training for dogs.

Eat food for people from now on.

I can give you food like this anytime.

You're making a big deal out of a meal.

Could you apologize to Ah-ran?

Why should I?

I would appreciate it.

I'll think about it.

I knew there was no such thing as free food.

I wonder if she puts poison in my food.

Yes, sir.

I didn't catch her yet.

Do whatever it takes to catch her and bring her to me now!

Tell him if he does it again, I'll tell everything about him.

I told him to bring her as soon as possible.

It's not that big of a deal--

She reported it on the website of the Office of Education.

But since she kept her identity anonymous, it means she's still afraid.

What can she do without any proof?

That place should be kept as secret from people, right?

She could be searching for proof.

Is there any proof to find?

If she gets a hold of that, there will be no way out.

It's over for all of us.

Dear Yi-kyung, the world isn't always beautiful,

but it's not always cruel either.

Not all poems are beautiful, but they can still move us.

I hope you'll find your own poem as well.

I'm sorry, my daughter

that I'm not a better person for you. I'm so sorry.

I can't protect you from everything

because the world is so big.

HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT APPLICATION JO BANG-WOOL

I'm too small and weak.

All I can do for you

is be patient and forgive

and pray.

I pray that such horrible thing won't happen to you again.

I pray that you'll forget everything bad

and remember only the good things.

I'm sorry, my daughter

that I couldn't protect you. I'm really sorry.

Where were you last night?

What are you doing?

You look fine.

Did Bok-dong...

I'm going to check, and if I find a scratch on Bok-dong's face--

You can kick me out since I don't care about school.

You can choose to enter school but can't choose to leave like that.

School isn't some playground.

He talks too much.

I'm going to tell your mother everything.

I have your home address and your mom's phone number.

Don't you dare go to my house!

You're not afraid of me, but you must be afraid of your mom.

We'll have the advising time at your home today.

This is an invasion of privacy.

It's just a visit to a student's house.

It's illegal.

It's not illegal when I have permission from the school.

Goodness.

Do whatever you want, but it's not needed since I won't come to school...

Bang-wool!

What's going on?

Jin Yi-kyung

committed suicide last night.

My child didn't kill herself.

Bring the one who killed my child.

The one who killed...

Bring back my daughter.

Mrs. Jin.

Please stay calm. No one killed her.

Who killed her?

Who killed my daughter?

My daughter...

Bring back my daughter.

My daughter, please bring her back.

Goodness.

They said she jumped off from the school building.

She even left a will saying she killed herself because of school violence.

She even wrote down Bok-dong's name.

Bang-wool, what will happen to Bok-dong now?

FUNERAL HALL DECEASED: JIN YI-KYUNG

Leave.

How could you show up when you killed my daughter?

I have no words to say.

Of course not.

Suicide?

No, I think this is a social homicide.

The school neglected violence at school until someone dies.

All the teachers.

I'm not going to let this go

so no one else will be victimized like Yi-kyung.

I'm going to fight until the end.

It must be difficult for you.

It should be.

I have feelings too.

I think she needs someone to blame.

She's not herself at the moment.

Mr. Do.

I don't think

Yi-kyung killed herself because of Bok-dong.

She told me this before

that Bok-dong won't bother her anymore.

She also said Ah-ran can come back to school.

That's what she told me, but why did she...

I don't understand.

I think it's better not to think too much.

I'm afraid that this will cause other students to do something bad.

At times like this, stay calm and rational.

Are you the homeroom teacher of Jin Yi-kyung?

I'm not her homeroom teacher, but I'm in charge of this.

I'm from the Gangnam Police Office.

It's regarding the results of her autopsy.

SELF-PORTRAIT BY SEO JEONG-JOO

The world may seem beautiful to you like in a poem,

but it's like hell for me.

You have no idea.

The detective is looking for you.

You said your students are your children.

Your child has died,

but this is all you can do?

What kind of teacher are you?

Get up.

The results of her autopsy are out.

Go and find out.

It's because of me.

She died.

It's my fault.

Because of me...

Based on the autopsy, Yi-kyung had been three months pregnant.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine. I'm just surprised.

She wasn't like that.

You would be surprised with kids these days.

Where are Yi-kyung's parents?

Her parents are going through a lot right now.

This will only worsen the situation.

It would be better to tell them after the funeral.

I'll talk to them so that they won't be shocked.

Okay.

Mr. Ahn, this is Jung-woo.

Where is Bok-dong right now?

Come here right now.

Come here right now!

You killed her, didn't you?

I know you killed her.

You killed my friend Yi-kyung!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Yi-kyung.

I'm so sorry I couldn't

protect you as your teacher.

-Transfer no matter what. -I'll choose my own school.

I'm telling you to transfer. That's the end of discussion.

Bang-wool, are you Ah-ran's mom?

Someone who's higher than the company's president is supporting me.

Why are you in the library at this hour?

You're hiding something from me, right?
