BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS, YOU MUST HAVE FOUND OUT...

Mr. Do!

You were home.

What's going on? Why are you at my house at this hour?

It's because of this.

It's a proposal of purchases for the school.

I forgot to give it to you during the day.

You're here because of this?

It's quite urgent.

Actually, it's more urgent that I use the restroom.

Hey, what are you doing?

May I use the restroom?

-Mr. Park! -May I use it?

Bang-wool, why are you...

I'll get going.

Mr. Do.

Hey, you.

I hoped what I assumed was wrong,

but you're a student and he's your teacher.

How could you do something like this?

I know.

This is about you.

How could you make a move to a teacher?

Who knows who started it?

How sure are you that it's the student's fault?

The teacher's much more responsible for something like this.

What did Mr. Do do to you?

Just tell me, Bang-wool.

How could Mr. Do--

Gosh, you don't know anything.

Bang-wool!

How do you know that?

So it's right.

How did you find out?

How could you hide such a big thing?

How could you keep it to yourselves?

You should have told me!

If I told you,

Do Jung-woo would have killed Yi-kyung much earlier.

Why did Yi-kyung do that?

-Yi-kyung had been bullied. -Is it too big?

Maybe that's why she gave her everything once she got close to you.

That's how much Yi-kyung felt lonely.

That's how I found out.

Before I met her, Jung-woo was that kind of person to Yi-kyung.

When Jung-woo got tired of being with Yi-kyung,

he abandoned Yi-kyung in the worst way possible.

I told you to transfer!

Yi-kyung, are you okay?

Bok-dong, don't ever touch Yi-kyung again.

Ah-ran, how many times do I have to tell you? Stay out of this.

Do you want to get beaten up as well?

I'll transfer,

but I can't right away since my mom won't allow it.

Until my mom allows it--

Why would you transfer when you've done nothing wrong?

Tell Do Jung-woo

that he's the one who should leave the school.

If I tell him that, it'll be the end for you too, stupid girl.

Please get lost before you get involved.

You better get lost before I call the police.

You girls are making me go crazy.

Ah-ran.

Because Yi-kyung didn't transfer,

Jung-woo ordered Bok-dong to continue harassing Yi-kyung.

-Then-- -That's why

Bok-dong did that to you too.

Jung-woo ordered him to do so.

Then he blamed everything on Bok-dong.

Pretend you don't know anything.

If Jung-woo finds out what happened to Yi-kyung, it could happen to you.

No, I'll solve this.

I'm going to catch Do Jung-woo.

By the time you read this, you must have found out.

If you bother us again, I'm not going to remain silent.

That Yi-kyung.

Excuse me.

Are you Yi-kyung's mother?

Who are you

to tell me this?

That's not what's important.

It's Do Jung-woo who made Yi-kyung pregnant.

We have to put Jung-woo in prison.

Whoever, whoever he is,

my daughter's already dead.

She was bullied as much as she could be.

I don't want the world

to destroy all over my daughter again.

So you're saying you'll close the case?

Are you really her mother?

Yi-kyung's sister is also my child.

My family's already going through hell.

Hell where we don't feel like we're living anymore.

I need to protect my child who remains.

Are you saying Jung-woo killed Yi-kyung like Ah-ran said?

That's not for certain.

It's true that Jung-woo impregnated her and blamed it all on Bok-dong.

I can't forgive him.

I'm going to make him pay.

What if that puts Ah-ran in danger?

She's already in danger since Jung-woo's suspicious of her.

If I don't catch him, Ah-ran will also get hurt.

That's true.

But if you approach this without having any proof...

There's proof at Jung-woo's house.

Are you saying we should rob his place?

Get the tools ready.

MYUNGSUNG HIGH SCHOOL

Promise me that you won't do anything dangerous.

Pretend you don't know anything in front of Jung-woo.

Don't worry.

Don't have that look on your face.

He'll find out if you look like you're about to attack him.

I know! You take care of yourself.

You're getting here just now?

Yes, hello.

Ah-ran, could I talk to you for a minute?

What is it about? Why can't you talk here?

What are you two going to do?

I'll see you separately later, Bang-wool.

But...

But...

It would be nice to know if we could read people's mind.

If we knew what we were thinking, there won't be any misunderstanding.

We wouldn't have to fight.

We wouldn't have to get hurt, right?

That's like being a dead fish.

You can't see the inside of a living fish.

You're smart as I expected.

I'm curious to know what goes on in the mind of a smart person like you.

How much you can remember, whether you have a sense of judgment,

if you know what and what not to meddle in.

I sometimes want to see what goes on inside your head.

Yi-kyung sent me a present.

Did you pick it out for her?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Good, and I hope you stay that way.

Remember that I'm always watching you.

I...

Bang-wool, what are you doing here?

I was just passing by.

Being too forward isn't very attractive.

What are you doing tonight?

I have an appointment.

-Are you going to be late? -Why?

Well, I have to return your sweater.

I'm going to be very late. You can keep the sweater.

-What's okay? -You startled me.

Why do you keep following Mr. Do?

Didn't I tell you not to do this?

You don't know anything.

You're his student. This is very wrong.

Stop being so dramatic.

Of course you would like him, but you can't act on it!

Where is Mr. Park No-ah?

-I'm not sure. -I told him to come.

Is he skipping it again?

I can smell him.

It's his smell.

Doesn't he smell his own odor?

-He's so dirty. -He is.

MYUNGSUNG HIGH SCHOOL

You're here, sir!

Who's the one that scratched Sang-tae's face?

There are two students. Should I call for them?

Do I have to punish them myself?

-I gave them severe punishment -No.

-It's not what you think. -and...

Sir, that's one of the students.

Are you sure she's the one who scratched Sang-tae's face?

Yes.

But she's a girl.

She's the one.

How's that possible?

Chairman, we're at school right now.

If you're the chairman, you must be Sang-tae's father!

You shouldn't do this at school.

-Who is this? -He's

Sang-tae's homeroom teacher.

How are you training the teachers?

Goodness.

It makes no sense.

School violence is a very serious problem.

What is a school?

Schools teach what it means to be human

and its focus is on education.

It's a place where the future of this country is educated.

-Goodness, my legs hurt. -At a place like this...

How long has it been?

It's the pillar of the country.

It's been 50 minutes.

It's unethical and insane.

Ms. Kim, I really have to use the restroom.

Just hold it.

This means that students from broken homes

were raised the wrong way.

We can't have people like them at Myungsung High School.

We can't tolerate such things.

Are you okay?

With 12 boats,

Admiral Yi Sun-sin defended Korea against the Japanese soldiers.

People who are too selfish

to do anything but to save themselves must be kicked out.

Who's in charge of the student body?

It's the student president.

President Hong Sang-tae...

The school's a war zone.

The whole student body should become one, led by the president

and fight the battle to get into good universities.

There's no room for school violence.

How could this even be possible?

Everyone!

What's wrong with her?

Finally,

school violence can't be tolerated.

-Ah-ran! -Let me emphasize it again.

For now...

Are you really okay?

That's the end for today.

Goodness, I'm thirsty.

I get tired easily.

I can't do this anymore.

You must be tired since you talked for an hour and a half.

If I could have it my way,

I would get rid of everyone who stands in my way.

However, students all carry smartphones these days,

so it's harder for adults to stay in charge.

In this room,

the principal and I stayed many nights working here.

Are you getting along well with Ae-yeon?

We're working well together.

Work well together,

but don't you go behind my back.

If you play with what's in this room, you'll be like the former principal.

Okay? I heard that the formal principal

lost everything and is homeless living in Seoul Station.

-Yes. -Good job.

-President Hong. -President Hong.

-President Hong. -President Hong.

He and his father are being treated like kings.

Look at him.

Meanwhile we stood there and suffered through his lecture.

I was about to pass out.

Gosh, I peed in my pants.

It's terrible.

What an unfair world.

Ah-ran, are you on your period? Do you want this?

-Could you give me the ball? -Sure.

That's how we maintain so well.

Please come this way.

Chairman.

Who did it?

Goodness, I'm so sorry.

How did the ball get there? I'm really sorry.

Apologizing isn't enough!

Aren't midterms next week?

Make her fail all her classes.

-But she's already failing. -Make her fail more.

Bang-wool, what you did was so brave.

You're my hero.

I hit him by mistake.

Get in line, Sang-tae.

Can't you see other students are waiting?

I don't wait in line.

Why? It's because this is my home.

Do you wait in line to eat at your house?

You're so childish.

Even a seven-year-old distinguishes his home from school.

Act childish in front of your mom.

Do you want to die?

What kind of manner is that?

Is it so unfair for you to wait in line for food?

Is that what your mom taught you?

What does my mom have to do with this?

You're hopeless. A student like you should be spanked.

Bang-wool, didn't you hear what the chairman said?

If we report you, that'll be the end of you.

Don't you think it's unfair that he gets food without waiting in line?

No, he's the school's president.

Don't you agree?

I'm sorry, but you only have this loser on your side.

Why don't you get on my side?

You become bullied if you hang out with the bullied.

You should know this by now.

You should be on my side if you want to eat in peace.

I would rather starve than be on your side.

Then starve.

Bang-wool, where are you going without having lunch?

What happened?

It's not just one or two. How could all the students...

How could all students and teachers be like that?

What kind of school is this?

Calm down. The school has always been like this.

Here you go, let's eat.

You like this, right?

Let's just eat this for today.

I'll pack your lunch next time.

I told you not to follow me to school.

You've been going through this alone all this time?

Mom, to survive as a high school student in Korea,

one should be brave enough to endure this.

If you're going to be shocked by this, stop coming to school.

I'm not shocked.

It just makes me angry.

To survive as a mother in Korea,

one should be brave enough to endure this.

Let's eat.

Enjoy.

Only 30 people could be confirmed?

I collected everything including the ones who left the company.

You should have done everything to get more people.

Or pay some foreigners to do it.

I don't speak any other language.

What if we get audited after getting undocumented people involved?

We gave you that position so you could take care of it.

Create people and money that doesn't exist.

Yes, sir.

Isn't that what being a real fraud is?

You're right.

-You were here, Mr. Oh. -Hello.

Hello.

Let's look into foreigners.

-Yes, sir. -Do it by next week.

Let me know if you need anything.

Yes, sir.

You should have come in a little earlier.

How do I get information on people who don't exist?

This is not some voice phishing company.

I think the material cost is the issue and not the payroll.

Are you sure it isn't overestimated?

No, its estimate is the minimum amount based on the actual cost.

-There's nothing less than that. -Then you should make it less.

I know what you're saying,

but even if we write a lower price in the document,

there's a minimum cost that is incurred in the market.

Anyone who knows would recognize that.

Isn't this why you've been hired?

Are you keeping your eye on Ah-ran?

Yes, I have Bok-dong to take care of it.

Can you trust that to a child?

If Ah-ran says anything,

it might get dangerous.

Yes, Ae-yeon?

Goodness, that makes me feel uncomfortable.

Is he going to blame me if something goes wrong?

Okay, from our... Turn around.

Okay.

-The plan, not you. -Yes, sir.

So, from our current location,

to our destination, there are five surveillance cameras.

Each by the security, at the entrance, front and the inside of the elevator,

and there's one in the corridor of the 14th floor.

Don't enjoy the contact.

There are so many surveillance cameras in Korea.

There is no privacy.

There are thieves who are smarter than the hidden cameras.

After that, we'll open up the peephole on the door

to look at the inside.

This technology can only be handled by a skilled person like me.

Gosh, be quiet!

Gosh.

You shouldn't do it that way.

Feel this, you punk.

Come here, you!

-It tastes salty. -You fools.

She should come out soon.

Joo Ae-yeon?

HAN GONG-JOO

He's here.

Mr. Hwang said he'll decide based on what Minister Kang does.

Kang's known for being wishy-washy, but he'll decide based on what he does?

He's duller than I thought. He should look at what's consistent.

Right, but

rumor spread quickly in this line of business.

If Minister Kang takes a more definite action...

What do you mean?

Should I give him my hair sample?

Oh, no.

No...

Jung-woo!

Jung-woo, it's good to see you!

Jung-woo, don't you recognize me? We're friends, don't you remember?

You've grown a lot.

Who are you?

Jung-woo, you still have that sense of humor.

You're that Jung-woo who enjoyed eating dried seaweed for lunch.

Kang-ja?

What are you doing?

Jung-woo!

I'm not Ha Jung-woo. I'm Do Jung-woo.

Do Jung-woo?

You are Do Jung-woo?

You look so much like my friend. I'm sorry.

If you need a friend, I can be your friend.

Mr. Do Jung-woo?

Why are you standing there?

It's nothing.

What happened here?

This? I tripped while I was coming in.

Goodness, it's been annoying today.

Let's have a glass of wine. I'll wash up quickly.

Okay.

What are you doing?

How could you misunderstand Mr. Do and do something like this?

It's true. I saw it with my own eyes.

Mr. Do made Yi-kyung pregnant!

Jo Kang-ja!

Are you sure you haven't lost your mind?

Why did you lie about being in a relationship with Mr. Do?

Visiting him at his house doesn't mean we're dating.

Mr. Do isn't the one. Don't you believe me?

You don't know what kind of person Mr. Do is.

He's a wolf in disguise.

Don't be fooled by him.

Jo Kang-ja!

Anyway, thank you for what you did for me up there.

I should have taken it with me when I saw it.

Gong-joo, where are you?

-Why? -I'm asking

because we should go home.

Wait there a little longer.

Look through everything.

If you don't find it today, I'm going to throw you away as well.

-Okay! -Okay!

Yes, mother.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was so late.

I'll be there soon.

Bang-wool!

Here.

Gong-joo!

What happened to you?

I found it!

-Gong-joo. -Where else

would it be other than the trash can?

I knew he would throw it away as soon as he got it.

Goodness!

I'm covered with trash. It'll get on you.

Thank you, Gong-joo.

You saved my daughter.

I saved my daughter too.

My daughter Bang-wool.

Gong-joo.

So you didn't find out what happened among the students?

That's right. As if they agreed on it,

they said nothing happened.

I don't think they trust me.

It's not because they don't trust you.

Kids are like that.

They don't like telling the adults what happened among them.

They keep it to themselves.

The hardest thing to open up in the world must be

children's hearts.

Then the two of them went out

and had bread and milk for lunch.

When I see that,

I feel like I'm worse than a speck of dust.

It doesn't matter whether I'm there or not.

I don't know anything either.

I have nothing I can do for them.

That sense of powerlessness you feel

must be what the students feel too.

You started to look at things from their perspective now.

You're becoming a true teacher.

No way, I have a lot of work to do before I can be like you.

Here you go.

-Kang-ja. -Yes.

Where are you going this morning?

I have an important appointment.

Mother, could you prepare breakfast?

Are you having an affair?

Mother.

You spent the night somewhere else last night.

This morning, you're all made up to go out.

That man from before.

Are you seeing that homeroom teacher?

Mother, I'm Ah-ran's mom.

No, something's going on with you.

You come home after midnight these days.

You dress like an 18-year-old.

You come here and sit.

Mother, I'm running late.

I said to come here and sit.

I told you to sit.

Mother, I'm running late so I'll tell you all about it tonight.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Wait!

Is that what I think I saw?

Is she really having an affair?

WHERE EVERYONE IS HAPPY

Let's go.

What are you doing right now?

-This is crazy. -What are you doing?

-Listen to me. -Goodness.

-What's going on? -What are you doing?

Do you know how many tickets I got?

There's no tissue paper in the restroom.

Sang-man. I need one.

-Your number is 84. It's this way. -That way?

-Give it to me. -Here you go.

Unbelievable.

I'm here to report the most immoral teacher in the world.

Here's the proof.

We're an expert on indicting people.

Here's the bill of indictment.

I wrote the details on what happened here.

I'm suing Mr. Do Jung Woo as the murderer of Jin Yi-kyung.

Mr. Do, you're the best.

Who is Mr. Do?

That's me. Who are you?

We're the auditors from the Ministry of Education.

Could you come with us?

Auditors from the Ministry of Education?

Why do you need to talk to Mr. Do Jung-woo?

He'll find out once he comes with us.

Please come with us, Mr. Do.

It's really true.

Yi-kyung left proof.

I even reported to the Ministry of Education and media reporters.

It's over for Do Jung-woo.

Mom.

I'm not so bad, am I?

Ah-ran, no matter how scary the world may be,

bad people are bound to be punished at some point.

If you get scared

and hide the truth, things only get worse.

If you have difficult problems

that you can't solve on your own,

you have to let me know, okay?

Do you understand?

Mom.

AUDITOR ROOM

A sex scandal between a teacher and his student?

Myungsung High School is part of Chairman Hong's foundation.

If it's under him, this could mean trouble.

This is a serious problem. It was even on the news.

Minister, this is Director Hwang.

How could this happen?

Stop all operations and make sure the word doesn't spread.

Send that teacher to me right away.

MINISTER OF EDUCATION KANG SOO-CHAN

Secretary Nam, call the person in charge of public relations right away.

You, come here right now!

Yes, sir.

Yes, Director.

Yes, sir.

We'll be on our way.

Hello.

What about Jung-woo?

Did he get caught?

I'm not sure about that, but the auditors came by.

I called Director Hwang, and he told me they're going to the minister.

To the minister?

The number you have dialed cannot be reached.

MR. DO JUNG-WOO

It's me. Have you heard what happened to Mr. Do?

About what?

It's not about the annex project.

If it was regarding the plan, Director Hwang would have called.

What is it then?

Why did the minister call him?

Is there anything you can think of?

Hang up for now.

He's even being called by the minister.

If you denied it, you should've kept it that way. How did you let this happen?

I definitely gave you my last warning.

If you cause me one more trouble,

I said I would get rid of you!

So you are going to get rid of me?

I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago.

I kept you here for too long.

I'll help you on your living, so leave this country.

Go where I don't have to see you.

And live there quietly.

FATTY MOM

Okay, I understand.

I told you I'm going to clean up the mess with Sang-tae and Bok-dong.

Mom, please!

Talk to you later.

Goodness, she nags too much.

FATTY MOM

Gosh, where is this?

Goodness, is she insane?

MOTEL

A school?

-Goodness! -What?

Mother!

Are you going to go in while wearing that?

I'll explain everything to you over there.

Please let me go first.

-Come here. -Bang-wool!

Bang-wool, we're late for school. What are you doing?

-What? -Who is this old lady?

-What did you call me? -Old lady, let her go!

-Goodness. -Let her go.

Wait, go in.

Mother, people are looking. Wait a minute.

I know.

Did she call her mother?

-Mother? -Mother?

Her mother was someone else.

Is that old lady her real mother?

-Gosh. -How can that be?

Pay attention to class today.

Listen to your teachers.

I hope you have a good day.

Something crazy happened!

Jung-hee, sit down.

Bang-wool got caught.

What? By whom?

She got caught by her mother.

You mean the lady who visited the school last time?

No, she's really old. She's like a grandmother.

What do you mean? Her mother came to school--

I think Bang-wool has two mothers.

She has her real and adoptive mother.

You know people who get abandoned as soon as they're born,

and they get adopted later.

Does that mean Bang-wool was adopted?

I feel bad for Bang-wool.

Have you gone crazy?

Unless you've gone crazy, how could you go to school like this?

You're out of your mind.

Never mind. Let's go home and talk.

Wait, mother. Mother.

You also saw Ah-ran got beaten by the students at school.

She also had to be treated at a mental hospital.

I can't send my child to a dangerous school like this.

I'm sorry, but just pretend you didn't see anything.

I watch the news too.

I know school violence is a serious issue these days.

That doesn't mean all mothers should come to school in a uniform.

You should be on the news.

It won't take long. The bad teacher got caught,

and I just need to take care of some bullies.

Why would you need to take care of people at the school?

-Mother. -If you keep being stubborn,

I'm going to tell Jin-sang about you.

I'll also tell the school.

I'll say that my daughter-in-law has gone crazy.

She's at school as a student. You know I do what I say.

I understand, but please let me go to school just for today.

I should quit school before leaving.

Fine, today's the last day. Quit school and leave as quickly as possible.

-Now? Okay. -Yes.

I'll leave school today.

Goodness.

I need to take care of everything before leaving.

At least Do Jung-woo's situation is finished.

Goodness, is that old man here again?

Welcome back, Chief Director.

Congratulations on your promotion.

Are you threatening me?

If I can't get through to you by asking or begging,

there's nothing else I can do other than this.

You're just like your mother.

You're sly and stubborn just like her.

You're too greedy for your own good.

People like that are well prepared.

They keep a secret weapon since they could be abandoned at any time.

My mother left it for me instead of using it for herself.

Don't cry, okay?

If you had at least come to pay respect at her death bed,

it wouldn't have fallen in my hands.

Then I wouldn't have to see that look on your face now.

Don't you want to know what she gave me?

She must have pulled on a trick.

It's a trick people would enjoy hearing about,

but I don't intend to expose it.

Mother would also prefer that.

As I mentioned, I prefer that

you become the president.

Welcome, Chairman!

Hello. Let's go in, Chief Director Do.

Yes, sir.

How did he become Chief Director overnight?

-I know. -Isn't it funny?

It's a mystery.

Mr. Park.

Hello.

What are you doing here despite all the commotion at the school?

-What do you mean? -Mr. Do is back.

On top of that, he's been promoted to Chief Director.

Wasn't he called by the auditors from the Ministry of Education?

He was, but...

I said there's no such bill of indictment.

I said I submitted it yesterday!

Where's the lady who was sitting here yesterday?

I even submitted proof yesterday!

What kind of student are you to yell and be so rude?

I'm going to call security.

I'm not a student.

Where are the surveillance cameras here? There's one.

Play the recording. It must be recorded on it.

Where's the security office? Where is it? Do you hear me?

-Hey! -You can't do this.

-Calm down. -I'm not a student.

Call the minister of education. Call the minister right now!

Let me go! Call him now.

There's nothing in the recording.

See?

Okay?

I was going to call the police, but I went easy since you're a student.

Get out.

I said get out.

Ah-ran.

Could you drive a little faster?

MOM

Ah-ran!

Ah-ran!

Mr. Do.

Did you submit the bill of indictment?

Ah-ran, this is not real.

It's immature and nonsense.

You're a smart girl. Why do you waste your talent in such a thing?

Smart people like you make mistakes like this at times.

They see the world through their own lens and imagine things.

Van Gogh or Virginia Woolf.

Geniuses like them ruined their lives for being too smart.

They're sent to mental hospitals and considered crazy.

They live a lonely life without being accepted by anyone.

They blame the world and remain negative

until they jump off a building.

They die alone in a tragic way.

Like someone.

I don't think that's the life you want.

You should use that smart head of yours for yourself.

Don't you want to live a good life everyone wants by going to college?

You must have dreams and ambitions.

Ah-ran, you're at a crossroad in life.

Depending on which path you choose,

your life will change completely.

I trust that you'll make a smart decision.

Your parents do as well.

If you keep wasting your time on things like this,

I'm going to see your mother.

You know what that means, right?

Okay.

Mr. Do.

What did you mean by what you said to Ah-ran?

I meant it like how I said. To study well.

You were showing her something and said she shouldn't waste her time.

What was that?

It's a novel that's popular among the students these days.

Mr. Do, I can see that you're good at lying.

I'm Ah-ran's homeroom teacher and her guardian.

I should know what Ah-ran's been up to.

Give it to me.

Do you even know how you became her homeroom teacher?

What does that mean?

It means if you don't know, stay put.

Yes, mom.

Thank goodness.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

I was so worried that something happened to you.

How could anything happen at school?

Do Jung-woo is back.

He even became the chief director.

The bill of indictment has been canceled--

Mom, I'm going to forget it all and just study.

-What? -I don't care about reporting him.

I'm just wasting my life if I keep being concerned about this.

I want to go back to where I was.

You should do that same.

Jung-woo must have threatened you somehow.

I'm never leaving you alone at this school.

How can I leave you here alone at a time like this?

You should support me as my mom if I want to forget it and just study.

Don't you know I'll be in danger as long as you keep doing this?

This is the end.

Don't come back to school anymore.

You'll be seated based on your grade. Everyone, stand up.

How could you not even discuss it with me?

Bang-wool, you're failing, so go to the seat at the end.

You sit next to Bang-wool.

Ah-ran.

-What's wrong with her? -What are you doing?

Your shoelace is loose.

Performance evaluation starts again this year.

Keep pulling, okay?

Let me go!

The exam problems leaked.

You don't get graded fairly no matter how hard you study.

-How's this enough? -How is this a school?

You're the product of corruption yourself!
