Original subtitles

Mom.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have left you

no matter how scared I was.

I should have

stayed by your side no matter what.

Forget it.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'm sorry that I couldn't help you.

I can protect you now.

I'm all grown up.

I know.

You've grown so much!

I'm Park No-ah. I was the one who called.

I'm his homeroom teacher.

I'm Ah-ran's mother, one of Sang-tae's classmates.

I see.

I saw you both on the news.

I've been watching what's been going on at Myungsung High School on the news.

I'm sorry for being late.

That's okay. Let's go to my house first.

We'll tell you everything in detail.

Let's go.

It's Han Mi-joo.

What should I do?

Sang-tae, that brat!

He even called his mother here?

Bring both of them here now!

Hello.

I'm Bang-wool's mom...

I'm Kang-ja's friend.

Mom, get in the car.

-Who are they? -They work for dad.

-What? -Hurry.

-Go. -Sang-tae.

-Come with us. -Bang-wool, you guys go first.

-Mr. Park, go. -Wait.

Sang-tae!

Where are you going?

We have to take Sang-tae with us.

Sang-tae will be fine since he's the chairman's son.

Let me go.

Let go!

Darn it.

Hong Sang-tae.

Have you lost your mind?

What kind of son

betrays his own father?

How about you?

What kind of father beats his son's mother as you did?

After the students died,

you only put on an act just so you can live!

Do you think I'm doing this for myself?

I'm doing all of this for you!

For me?

Don't say that it's for me.

Then I feel like I should die.

I would have to die in order to stop you!

You stupid brat.

You're just like your mother!

Where's your mobile phone?

-Give it to me. -No.

-Give it to me! -No!

Give it to me!

You...

stay here

until the trial's over!

Stay in here.

Brat.

Han Mi-joo.

The day she starts talking...

CALL LIST

MOM

MY SON

Sang-tae, are you okay?

How could he be okay

when he's trying to betray me?

Sang-bok.

Don't do this to Sang-tae. Don't do this to our child.

That depends on you.

You know

I don't do empty threats.

Right?

If you don't want to see your son die,

keep your mouth shut.

What did Chairman Hong say?

Is he threatening you by using Sang-tae?

I can't do this.

I can't be the witness.

Ms. Han.

I'm sorry, Mr. Park.

I'm so sorry to the parents who have lost their children,

but I can't do this to my child.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

It's my fault for not raising him well as his father.

I couldn't take care of my son often.

SPECIAL PRESS CONFERENCE

I didn't raise him well.

I'll act as a parent now.

I'll make sure he learns his lesson.

In this world, anyone who commits a crime

must be punished the same

no matter who you are.

Even if he's my own son,

the president's son,

or a child of someone in a high position,

if he commits a crime,

this country must give a fitting punishment.

The crime that Chief Director Do Jung-woo

from Myungsung Foundation has committed,

is a murder that can't be excused in any way.

Within the limits of the law,

I would like to request the court

to give him the punishment he deserves.

I'm very sorry.

Greed for power

can be merciless.

Don't you think?

May I use the telephone?

Hello?

It's me, Jung-woo.

Do we have anything left to talk about?

Could you visit me?

Who am I to do that?

Let's meet just one more time.

Please come see me without letting Chairman Hong know.

If you need a woman,

find someone else.

Ae-yeon.

Actually, that day,

when we had our last dinner,

I had a present I wasn't able to give you.

I wasn't brave enough.

I regret that very much.

Even if I'm not with you,

go see Mr. Kim sometimes.

Drink wine after mentioning my name.

You should take care of yourself, okay?

I hope you'll find someone nice,

and not like me or Chairman Hong.

All the records were in the safe.

I see, that's great.

What about Jun Hyung-shik's book of accounts?

There's a problem

much bigger than that.

Han Mi-joo's back in the country.

She's at Judge Park Jin-ho's house.

What do you mean?

How did you let that happen?

You know what will happen to both of us once she starts to talk.

She won't be able to talk easily

because of her son.

You know she hasn't said anything for the last ten years.

She's scared, even by the sound of my voice.

No way.

Anyone who's in a desperate situation could do anything.

Convince her and bring her to me.

I'll persuade her in person.

This is my daughter.

This must be Yi-kyung.

I used to be like you.

When Ah-ran's mom told me we should catch the man who killed her,

I ran away because I was scared I would lose another child of mine.

So I understand you completely.

By the way,

why did you change your mind?

Yi-kyung's brother said this while he was watching the news.

That's Yi-kyung's school.

If she had been alive,

she could have died when the building collapsed.

I could have died if I went to that school.

I felt like someone had hit the back of my head.

If I really cared about my remaining child,

I shouldn't ignore and try to forget,

but instead I should fight and protect her.

Not when they're dead.

When they're still alive.

What's going on?

Let's go get Sang-tae.

You have the right to take Sang-tae.

It's legal to arrest people who threaten potential witnesses

by holding their families hostage.

Don't be scared.

Let's bring Sang-tae here.

You know the law is useless when dealing with him.

It's obvious he won't let me take him.

If he doesn't, we'll have to fight.

We should fight to protect him.

You're Sang-tae's mom.

It's Sang-bok.

What's this?

We said we'll talk in private.

Why did you bring the police?

I'm here to take my son.

Your son?

You left him only to save yourself.

Leave. All of you, leave!

It was reported that you locked up your son against his will.

Let us check first--

Don't you dare order me!

What's your name?

I'm Reporter Jung Hye-jin from MBS Broadcasting.

Is it true that you locked up your son?

Who are you to meddle--

Chairman Hong.

Goodness.

Sang-tae, are you inside?

Mr. Park?

Is that you?

Sang-tae, move away from the door.

Okay.

Sang-tae, are you okay? Are you hurt?

Mr. Park.

I never met someone like you in my whole life.

You haven't lived that long.

I wish we had this conversation much earlier.

It's unfortunate we didn't have such a chance.

As mothers, you must have felt desperate enough to see me in person.

I understand that better than anyone else.

How would you understand us when you consider your son

a dirty mark you want to remove?

I know the two faces you have.

So just get to the point.

Then I'll get to the point.

I could write you a blank check if this isn't enough.

All you have to do is keep quiet.

Your son killed my daughter, and she was so young!

It was tragic.

I'm going to make sure he gets punished for murder.

Mr. Kang Soo-chan.

That extreme amount of greed you have,

turned your son into a monster.

It killed our children!

How could you not even regret--

Your husband passed away, right?

Wasn't it unfair? Don't you feel resentful?

I'll make you feel better.

I can make your daughter the most talented woman in Korea.

Ms. Han.

The lives of this country's politicians and your son

depend on what you say.

You shouldn't ruin the bright future

of your son he now has.

Keep your mouth shut.

Live the way you've been living.

That's the best for your son.

I'll decide how I live.

Sang-tae, don't interrupt when adults are talking.

Stay outside.

Sang-tae, are you okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Why did you come here?

I came here to get you.

-Let's go. -You two, don't move.

You came here on your own will,

but you can't leave here without my permission.

Sit down unless you want to die!

If we don't leave, we'll be on tomorrow's morning paper.

There are many reporters outside right now.

Did you think we didn't come here prepared?

I still have the authority to keep the media quiet.

I have a few reporters who won't stay quiet.

The police are here, and we applied for witness protection.

Why, you!

Let's go.

Sang-tae, think carefully.

You're my son.

You're Hong Sang-tae, Hong Sang-bok's son.

In this world, no son betrays their father.

Mom.

I'll stay here.

Sang-tae.

I would feel bad for my father if I leave.

Mom, you do what you need to do.

I'll do what a son needs to do.

Sang-tae.

Don't worry, Mom.

Dad won't hit me.

All he does is keep me locked in the room.

He gives me food.

He also gives me vitamins.

Han Mi-joo.

If you leave, I'm not going to give him any of that.

If you want to see your son starve,

you can try and leave!

Try and leave.

That's just all talk. I'm not scared of him. Don't worry about me.

So go and do what you need to do.

Mr. Park, please take my mom.

I think I'll have to stay with dad.

The witness is on their side.

Prosecutor Jung will press additional charges.

Please postpone it for a week until the election.

I'll go meet him with Jun Hyung-shik's book of accounts!

Postpone it for a week!

Bring me the book.

Well, sir...

I moved it to the bank's safe.

This place could be at risk of search and seizure.

Bring it to my office as soon as the sun rises tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

It's Hong Sang-bok.

2005 MYUNGSUNG HIGH SCHOOL

Actually that day, when we had our last dinner,

I had a present I wasn't able to give you. I wasn't brave enough.

I regret that very much.

Even if I'm not with you,

go see Mr. Kim sometimes,

and drink wine after mentioning my name.

You should take care of yourself, okay?

It's the file to arrest Mr. Kang Soo-chan.

You're signing it without making a fuss.

It's because there's a definite witness.

Could you also sign this?

SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT APPLICATION

Wait a little while for this.

We have to search the safe of Myungsung Foundation soon.

There's a high risk of Chairman Hong manipulating evidence.

I said wait.

Excuse me.

Do you remember me?

I came here with Chief Director Do Jung-woo.

Yes.

You must be his fiancee.

Well,

Jung-woo told me I could drink wine

under his name.

Of course.

Actually,

there's something Chief Director Do asked me to give you.

I was waiting for you to visit.

Please wait a moment.

I wanted to put this on you myself.

I'm sorry I'm giving it to you like this.

It will look great on you.

I hope to see you in court

with this necklace on.

That will be the best gift and revenge

that you could take for me.

Presidential candidate Kang was arrested for the Myungsung case.

Prosecutors found a significant part of the construction budget

was used for Kang Soo-chan's campaign after being wired

through Chairman Hong Sang-bok's wife, Han Mi-joo's bank account.

Based on the details of Han Mi-joo's bank account,

bribes were sent to many of the politicians in high positions.

The result of the case

will have a significant impact on the politicians.

I'm not close enough to Mr. Kang Soo-chan

to receive money transfers.

I never received a penny from Mr. Kang.

Other than the fact that we're high school colleagues,

we're not related in any way.

I haven't even met him.

Birbery during election is unthinkable.

What's happening seems to be solely caused by the conflict

between Chairman Hong Sang-bok

and Mr. Kang Soo-chan.

-We hope that... -Hong Sang-bok has betrayed me.

-Get it ready. -the DA will reveal...

-We're trying our best to adjust... -the truth.

-the numbers. -Adjust it as much as possible.

Yes.

Check to see if anything can be used against the other candidate.

Yes, sir.

That account

was opened by my husband without my knowledge

for the secret use of Kang Soo-chan.

DEFENDANT

During the process of our divorce

my legal representative notified me.

When I brought it up to him,

he came to see me in the U.S.

and used violence on me. He even kept my son hostage

and threatened me in order to silence me.

Why did you change your mind to bear witness?

It's because

I'm also a mother.

I couldn't ignore

the fact that the school building collapsed.

It killed many students.

Because he's my child's father...

No.

Because he's a father,

I thought I should stop him.

My child could have been killed in the building.

If I continue to neglect it,

my son could turn into a monster who would cause

such tragedy again.

That's why I thought I had to stop it no matter what.

How do you call yourself a mother?

You're the one ruining our son's life!

Be quiet and sit down!

We're in court!

It's not always good to have a wealthy father.

Yes?

Right now?

Okay, I'll tell Prosecutor Jung.

Please come quickly.

Logically speaking,

if you're talking about a bank account opened by Hong Sang-bok,

shouldn't it be considered Hong Sang-bok's account?

To say that it belongs to me

seems unreasonable.

I'll swear on my political career

that I had neither used the money from the account

nor had known that such an account existed.

Current campaign expenditures are approximately 35 billion won.

This amount exceeds your total assets you announced last April.

How exactly was your campaign funded?

I've been an educator all my life.

I'm not at all good with numbers.

There's a separate department that manages the campaign funds.

They'll answer your question.

What power does a person like me have

over people with authority?

He threatened to cause damage

to the school if I don't provide him with funds.

Damage would be done to the foundation.

What choice did I have?

I was so desperate

that I even used my wife's name

to provide funds to him!

That's a lie.

He was bribed by the other presidential candidate

and is lying in order to ruin my reputation.

I am lying?

I'm only answering the question asked by the prosecutor!

If we compare

the details of the bank account

to what you've spent on your campaign,

they would match completely. Why are you lying?

-You-- -Just answer the question asked.

There's no need to raise your voices.

The families of the deceased are watching you.

I knew such an argument would take place,

so I asked someone to be a witness.

As he's under indictment for a different case, I apologize

for the delay.

I'm not helping you because I like you.

You look beautiful today.

I wired the funds for the construction to Han Mi-joo's bank account

per the order of Kang Soo-chan and Hong Sang-bok.

The fund that was wired to Han Mi-joo's account was used

for Kang Soo-chan's campaign for the election.

Objection, Your Honor.

Since Do Jung-woo is under arrest for murder,

his words may not be trustworthy.

Also, he has a record of threatening Kang Soo-chan as he was spiteful

of him as his father. He got himself promoted to Chief Director

through one of his threats.

I request for the trial to be postponed, so the evidence can be submitted.

It was my father who threatened me multiple times.

I submitted evidence just now.

How many times do I have to tell you not to contact me?

I won't be able to contact you anymore.

They said I have cancer.

I have less than a month.

So?

Such evidence is illegal.

Please order it to be stopped, Your Honor.

Please have him as part of your family.

How is he my son?

I told you to get an abortion. You said you did.

You had him in secret behind my back.

You used him against me to take advantage all this time.

So I raised him by myself.

You told us to live quietly so we did.

I'm about to die.

Can't you take care of your own son after I die?

Don't say he's my son.

His existence is a fatal mistake of my life.

I would cut off my own flesh if I could only get rid of him.

He's your son.

He's your son Do Jung-woo!

If you don't agree,

I'm going to take this to the reporters.

If you want to

go to the grave with your son, do whatever you want.

It's not difficult at all to get rid of you and your son!

You're the one who made me turn into a monster.

If you had accepted me at least once as your son.

If you had genuinely loved me

and my mother at least once,

I wouldn't have turned out this way.

You have ruined my life!

You disgusting wretch.

I should have killed you a long time ago!

A monster created another monster.

Darn it.

I'll see you again in prison.

I'm sick of you!

I'll be waiting for you in prison, father.

Prepare to make an appeal.

Tell the accounting department to change the numbers to make it work.

I'll meet that man, so stop the media from revealing anything.

I must see that man. I must see him!

Why are you even here?

Why didn't you stay at home?

You're disobedient just like your mother!

There's nothing to worry about.

I'm your father, Hong Sang-bok.

I won't go down easily, okay?

What if

I turn out like Mr. Do when I grow up?

What?

So, why didn't you live your life properly?

When I watch them, I'm afraid they represent...

our future.

What is he talking about?

DO JUNG-WOO

Prosecutor Jung, I don't think his book of accounts is here.

To gather illegal funds

for Kang Soo-chan's presidential campaign,

Defendant Hong Sang-bok started the construction of a building

at Myungsung High School which ended up collapsing.

Moreover, despite the warning that the building might collapse,

he and Do Jung-woo who was also involved,

did not even make an announcement to evacuate the building.

As a result, 18 were injured

and six were killed.

They were 17 and 18 years old

who had their lives ahead of them.

However, these three defendants

were busy blaming others for the cause of this incident.

They caused tragedy in many of the students' families.

Defendant Kang Soo-chan was the former Minister of Education.

Despite the fact that his position required high moral standards,

he gathered illegal funds through his illegitimate son.

He used them for his presidential campaign.

His son, Defendant Do Jung-woo,

not only killed a student who had found out his corrupted plans,

but also blamed another student for his own crime.

He has truly committed the unforgivable.

The collapse of Myungsung High School building

represents

the tragic reality of Korea that's been corrupted from its roots.

This is not

just a collapse of a building at one school.

It's a representation of the collapse of trust and hope

in Korea at this time.

Unless we pull out the rotten roots,

it won't ever be fixed.

Therefore,

the DA would like to propose the maximum sentence possible

to be given to them for taking away our trust and hope.

Defendant Kang Soo-chan

will be sentenced to serve seven years

under the violation of financial law, and abuse of official authority.

Defendant Hong Sang-bok

will be sentenced to serve six years for his negligence and...

embezzlement.

Defendant Do Jung-woo will be sentenced to life

for his negligence and murder.

Additionally,

for helping Hong Sang-bok gather illegal funds and using them,

Defendant Joo Ae-yeon is sentenced to serve one year.

For conducting poor construction of Myungsung High School's building,

Defendant Ahn Dong-chill will be sentenced to serve two years

for his negligence.

You murderers!

That punishment isn't enough!

How could you still live?

Bring back my Do-hee.

Bring back my Do-hee.

-Bring back my child! -You murderer!

Bring them back!

I'm not guilty.

I've only been manipulated

by Kang Soo-chan.

The sentence given was unfair.

The sentences weren't as bad as we expected.

Chairman Hong's is the most unfair of all.

He's the main person behind the collapse. Prosecutor asked for six years,

but how could he only get two years?

Look at him yelling how unfair that is.

He even stopped the announcement.

He should be charged for murder like Jung-woo.

I hope he would serve two full years at least.

-Mother. -Goodness.

THREE MONTHS LATER

I said I'm okay.

I can't be bothered with anything right now.

Mother, unless you go out once in a while,

you will get sick.

Goodness, I said I'm okay.

I don't care about shopping.

My son passed away before me.

How could I think about clothes?

You go on.

Mother.

Mother.

I have some extra money today.

Let's go shopping with Ah-ran and Kang-ja.

I'm here to take you out shopping for a total makeover.

Let's go shopping,

and eat sashimi that you like.

It will be my treat.

Why do you come here every day to bother me?

Come with us, Grandma.

-Goodness. -Let's go.

Goodness.

Mother, this yellow jacket is fancy.

It makes you look 10 years younger, don't you think so?

Mother, how about this one?

You would look good in pink to match your age.

That's a bit too bright.

-Right. -Grandma.

How about that one?

This yellow color

looks great on her because her face is pale.

Look how pretty it is!

-How about that one? -Yes?

Let's try that one on.

Mother, that one is for younger people.

I said you should try it on.

-Me? -Yes.

Goodness, you look great!

It's no wonder people bought you off as a high school student.

Why are you bringing that up now?

Mother, this is too much.

It looks beautiful.

Mother.

If Jin-sang could see you in it, he would go weak in the knees.

He wanted to get married to you so much.

You look extremely beautiful in it.

Mother.

Yes.

Chairman of Myungsung Foundation, Hong Sang-bok who had been

sentenced to two years

was released after three months with the president's permission.

According to the Blue House, the liver disease Chairman Hong had

became worse during his time in prison and that his life may be at risk.

They announced humanitarian concern as the reason for the special pardon.

Protest of the families of the deceased and social organizations are expected.

What's that, Mr. Park?

A special pardon?

How could he be released in three months?

CHIEF SECRETARY

Hi.

Hello.

Did he receive what I've sent him?

Yes, I gave it to him.

I see.

I should have given it to him in person.

I'll tell him when he returns

from his travel abroad.

Please remember that

it has the potential to change everything in this country.

Do you understand?

I gave it to him with my life on the line.

I hope you'll take good care of it.

2005 MYUNGSUNG HIGH SCHOOL

Is it ready?

Yes, I have someone guarding it.

It's fully ready to proceed.

Although I would like to expose everyone

and destroy them,

let's just destroy one of them.

The man who left me

to rot in prison for three months

while leaving Sang-tae behind.

Let's just catch him.

Hong Sang-bok received a special pardon and was released.

What a dirty world.

People who are wealthy

get released after three months even when they killed people.

Is it true that Hong Sang-bok has been released?

Do you think he'll release you?

You'd better serve your time.

Is it really true that Hong Sang-bok was released?

That's right.

Do you think a man like him would serve his time?

Jo Kang-ja, you've made a mistake.

No one has been safe

after attacking me!

Could we stop somewhere so I can use the restroom?

We can't stop the car on our way to prison.

No one's watching. It's just me and you.

Pull over.

Hurry up.

I really have to go!

Do-hee used to like this.

I know.

So,

we would like you to take Do-hee's spot.

It's not fooling around with just the two of us.

We need at least three people to do that.

I'm not interested in fooling around.

Goodness.

You're so selfish.

Don't you pity us for being left without Do-hee?

We're so desperate and lonely that we're begging you.

It's Sang-tae, isn't it?

It's a number I don't know.

You have a new phone! It's pretty.

My mom bought it for me.

It's the color of my birthstone topaz.

So, let's hang out--

Hello?

Who is it?

Yes, Mr. Park?

Is everything all right?

Of course.

Could you stop by my house?

I have something to discuss.

I was on my way there with some groceries to cook for you.

What's there to discuss?

Hong Sang-bok was released after getting a special pardon.

What?

How?

So Geun-soo and Do-hee's mom and other families will gather here.

Let's try to come up with a plan.

Okay, I'll see you soon.

Ah-ran.

How are you here?

You're not supposed to be here.

I know.

Please go.

Why do you keep doing things you're not supposed to do?

Go turn yourself in.

I will soon.

Did you escape because you wanted to see me?

I'm not crazy.

See?

It's true that you're my dad.

You're not my daughter.

You're my niece.

The one

I killed by mistake.

My brother

is your father.

Don't worry.

He was completely different from me.

He was such a smart kid.

He was such an angel. The nicest.

Sir!

What happened to you?

Don't study too hard,

and just be healthy.

Listen to your mother.

Take her home.

Sir!

Mr. Ahn, how are you here?

Where's Hong Sang-bok?

Where's he?

I'll tell you.

Jo Kang-ja.

I've warned you.

Anyone who attacks me

won't be safe.

Didn't I warn you?

I can survive even through hell.

Haven't you heard of a phoenix that never dies?

Shouldn't you

go see your son first after being released?

Do you know

how much Sang-tae suffered because of you?

That's why I came to see you.

You made me and my son

play against one another.

You have ruined my life work at Myungsung

which I've earned and built

through hard work.

Hong Sang-bok!

Ahn Dong-chil.

How did you get out?

The same way you did.

Using the dirty way.

Ahn Dong-chil, you must be out of your mind.

If you want to see this woman killed,

try and attack me.

Die!

Die!

No, Dong-chil. Don't do this.

I told you.

The law is useless for a person like him.

A person worse than a cockroach should be killed.

Then you'll have to rot in prison forever.

Don't I seem terrible to you?

I know you helped Ah-ran in secret.

Is it because she's...

your niece?

Because it's your daughter.

I'm sorry, Kang-ja...

for blaming everything on you.

I'm sorry, Kang-ja.

Dong-chil!

Get up.

Help me!

Help me up!

That's what the students felt.

You should feel what they did, Hong Sang-bok.

Help me up.

Hold me up.

Goodness.

Come help me.

Help me.

Please

help me.

At the site of Myungsung High School annex building

Hong Sang-bok's dead body was found under the building materials.

A person in the vicinity found him and reported to the police.

It's not known as to why

Hong Sang-bok was there yesterday evening.

Some relate this to Kang Soo-chan who could have taken revenge

or a political revenge to cover up Jun Hyung-sik Gate.

There are many rumours regarding this.

SIX MONTHS LATER, SPRING

There are the strong and the weak in this world.

We usually call people with money and power the strong.

However, among the people I know,

there are people who are still strong without those things.

It's crooked.

Move it to the left.

That was too much. Move to the right.

The right.

Try to make it look good!

My friend Gong-joo went bankrupt after what had happened.

She still yells at her boys and lives like a strong person.

GONG-JOO AND BANG-WOOLS'S HOME FOOD

They call it loyalty.

Bok-soo!

Have you been well, Bok-dong?

Goodness.

How's Dong-chil? Is he well?

Don't even mention it.

He still acts like my boss.

I'm sure he'll be sad that I'm gone.

Should I give him some food since I'm already here?

Don't worry, he needs to have some hard time without me.

-Let's go. -Come on.

Let's buy him yokan, he likes that.

Bok-dong.

Who's your real brother?

Bok-dong who was a bully at school

became a good student after what had happened.

Bok-dong calls it love.

I'm hungry. Let's go.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Have a good day. -Yes.

-Hello. -Hello.

You look nice, Mr. Park.

You look awesomely cool.

What do you mean?

-Hello. -Hello.

She meant you're very good-looking.

You must be happy to be popular among the students.

No, they're just teasing me.

-Hello. -Have a good day.

Mr. Park

who was always ignored by the students

became the most popular teacher at Myungsung.

Students called it respect.

You should act on small and good deeds while dreaming big.

-Just like me -Hello.

who do things no matter how small they are...

If a teacher isn't what a teacher should be,

and if an adult isn't mature enough,

children notice it right away.

MR. OH MONEY

Hierarchy gets destroyed, and authority disappears.

Why do you suggest getting shoes suddenly?

I want to get a pair for Ah-ran since we're already here.

Bang-wool, how about these?

The color's too masculine.

The size is too big.

These are for Bok-dong.

Aren't you ignoring your biggest fan at school?

It's because he misses his mom.

Really?

Could I be his mother this time?

Goodness! You're being silly again.

Go shop.

You don't get to go out since it's your senior year.

So, we'll have class outside today.

Take a photo of something you like.

Write a poem based on that photo.

This will be the grade for your project.

-Okay! -Okay!

Sang-tae.

Don't study something else during my class.

Put it in.

Lunch is here!

I'm sorry for being late.

-No, you're just in time. -I see.

Let's go!

-Yes. -Let's go.

Bok-dong!

What's wrong with you?

Why is he acting strangely whenever he sees me?

He's growing up.

-Let's go. -Okay.

In this world, there are relationships where

people are loyal, and they love and respect each other

even if they don't have any money

or power.

The one who loves more is the weaker one.

But it must be possible for the one who loves more

to become the winners.

GONG-JOO AND BANG-WOOL'S HOME FOOD

Ma'am, you're silly!

Drink up, it's hot outside.

Ah-ran's becoming more like her mother.

She's strong.

You're strong too.

Maybe

you could be stronger than me.

That goes without saying.

If you want to succeed,

you need dreams and love.

You have neither of them.

Do you have a dream?

I'm going to become a prosecutor.

There's a task my dad has left me.

The book of accounts that must be somewhere in this world.

I'm sure it's in the highest place.

I'm going to reveal it to the world.

I don't know about love.

But I do have dreams.

It really is spring now.

I can't remember when it was cold and painful.

Spring will also come to this school, right?

Winter always follows spring.

They say there's always...

winter in every spring.

That means

there's always spring in every winter.

You're right, Kang-ja.

As long as the roots are strong,

no matter how harsh the winter is,

the flowers will bloom in the spring.

As you were by my side,

I could persevere.

It was possible because there were mothers.

And

fathers, too.

It was a long and harsh winter.

Even though spring is here,

I sometimes think about the seeds that still remain frozen

in the cold earth that couldn't bloom this spring.

I hope for more spring showers

so they can melt the frozen earth.

I hope the world will be covered with spring

while embracing

all the seeds that remain in the earth.

I hope there will be more strong people in this world.

I hope for the world where the ones who love more...

WE SUPPORT ALL KANG-JAS OUT THERE.

...are the winners.

-Cheese! -Cheese!

-Say cheese! -Cheese.

-One, two, three. -Cheese.
