Original subtitles

Every night, I recite the same prayer.

Please, God, let me be sick.

Please save me from going to school tomorrow.

Please let me fall asleep and wake up in two years when I'll already have

graduated.

Death doesn't scare me anymore.

The only thing I fear...

It's the hellish nightmare that is my school.

As

of

today, the Tehan High Outcast is... Drumroll, please.

Park Dae-suk!

Congratulations! Congratulations!

Let us now begin the passing of the outcast stick ceremony.

Former outcast, Kim Kyung Min, please step forward.

Stand up to receive it. Stand up, you fucking idiot.

Now hand off the outcast stick.

Hey, no phones allowed in class.

I won't repeat myself.

Man, I'm learning so much from this video.

Try to be more like him.

How dare you speak to me this way? You're just a substitute. You're not

even a real teacher.

If you want to be a real teacher, my dad can help you.

Oh, wouldn't you want that?

So if you're interested, shut the fuck up and leave me alone.

How about you show some respect, you dickhead? You're just some little boy

who always needs daddy.

Tae Sook!

Tae Sook! You want to stand up for her?

Alright! Gwonsu, stop it! What's the matter with you? Can't we just let you

get away with this? Turn around.

Stupid son of a bitch.

Why didn't he just keep his mouth shut?

We

really

hope that you give it your all.

Alright, now that the ceremony is finally over, everyone, let's give him a

round of applause.

Tae-suk, you better start smiling or I'll smash your fucking head.

Let's go for a walk.

Why don't you join us, young man?

Come on.

Oh, yeah!

Everyone, as of today, this bitch is the new outcast of Taehan High. Say hello.

Hello, everyone.

My name's Tae-suk, and I'll be your new school outcast.

I'm happy to be here. Let's wish him a warm welcome.

Oh,

young men, what's wrong?

Uh, nothing.

How do you two deal with the troublemakers in class?

I pretty much gave up trying to educate these brats.

The only thing you can do is deduct points on their final grades.

It was over for us the moment they banned corporal punishment in schools.

Nowadays, the moment you try to instill a bit of respect in the classroom, they

try to get you on some ridiculous child abuse charge. What do they want us to

do?

Then again, we can count ourselves lucky that we haven't been stabbed by one of

our students.

Like the teacher two years ago.

It was terrifying.

Where are they? Wait, actually, they must be here for day seven. So, those

guys are fucked, right?

Who's fucked now, motherfucker?

Say that again, you dumb fuck.

Quit staring and sit the fuck down.

Let's welcome back our favorite outcast!

Woo!

You really... We are the best at this, aren't you? Look at you, you stupid

fuck. What's with that face?

Did you think it was over?

You thought the fucking police would arrest us and we'd be thrown in jail and

you can say, wow, at least I can be free at school. Is that what you were

thinking?

Holy shit, you really don't get it, you dumb fucking idiot.

You all think it's over for us now, don't you?

Keep fucking dreaming.

Nothing's changed.

Please don't feel sad, all right?

Let's all be glad that our little young min has taken back his role.

By the way, have you had your first drink yet? Don't worry, as your dear

friends, we're going to change that. Oh, fuck yeah!

See? We just want you to have a good time.

You're only a man once you've had your first drink. Come on, is it still a fun

drink? Don't move, right?

Take it. There you go. Stay there.

You're going down the exact level everywhere.

Doesn't have to be hard.

My training's maybe too strong. Sorry about that.

It's... It's... You stuttering like a dumbass makes me feel worse.

I'll stop. I'm sorry.

No, come on. Just hit me back.

No, it's okay. No, no, no. This is for me. Otherwise, you're just gonna go and

tell everyone that I'm bullying you. No, I won't do that. Just hit me, you

fucking bitch. Hit me. I'm telling you to fucking hit me. Do it. God damn it.

Hey, hey, listen to me.

Hey!

How many times do you want me to repeat myself?

Come on.

Look at me. Go on. Go for it. Just hit me.

Motherfucker, lift your head up. Hey, let me see. I said let me see you, you

bitch.

Oh, for fuck's sake. You're all right, you're all right. Come on, you're fine.

All right, get up.

Here we go. Let me teach you. When you hit someone, you stare straight into

their eyes, okay?

Go.

All right, that was good. One more time.

Are you fucking serious?

Come on, don't cry.

All right, fine, I'll close my eyes.

Do it.

Hit me.

This is your chance.

Just hit me. Come on, man up.

Come on, you bitch. Do it.

Are you the one that just hit me?

Who the fuck are you?

You a teacher?

You really need to watch your mouth.

Alright.

Okay.

Oh shit, stop fucking filming!

It is prohibited to run in the halls. Fucker!

On school grounds, engaging in disorderly conduct is forbidden.

So,

who are you?

I've just been assigned to the school today.

Oh, so you're new.

Teachers shouldn't put their hands on students.

Hey, record this. Okay.

Everyone, pull out your phones.

What's wrong?

You scared of the cameras? Come on, try to hit me now, old man.

All right.

I get it.

Here. Come on, stand up.

Well, if you insist.

How about we make a cool short of you?

How about another one?

Say hi, everyone.

Cheese.

What's going on? Get out of the way.

Oh, are you okay? How dare you hurt this child? Give me your name! Right, you

don't know who I am. He says that he's a newly appointed teacher.

A new teacher?

Well, this is the first I've heard of it.

Mister, you better tell me your name.

Right, um, my name... One moment, yeah.

Korean Educational Rights Protection Bureau Inspector.

Now, what is my name?

Educational Rights Protection Bureau.

Have you ever heard of this thing?

I've never heard of it. Well, that's understandable.

We've only just created it. And what does this Protection Bureau mean?

Oh, this is exciting. I get to explain it for the first time.

We offer specialized educational support to certain problematic institutions who

resort to bribing the police to cover up certain issues, such as the death of one

of their students.

First of all, that never happened. But the real issue is you putting hands on

him. That's where you're wrong.

You should know that members of the Educational Rights Protection Bureau

have special dispensation. We can do whatever we want, yeah?

Our approach depends on the students.

All well-behaved students will be praised by the Bureau.

The other students who misbehave and lack respect will be beaten.

So as of today, the Educational Rights Protection Bureau will be in charge of

this school.

I'm looking forward to teaching you a lesson.

Well, I guess the Bureau really does exist.

But I assure you, there are no issues in our school.

Listen, there are no bullies here. The kind of behavior you're talking about is

simply inconceivable here. All the students come from high-class

backgrounds. Many of the pupils are from famous political and business families.

We even have the son of a member of Parliament.

Parteysook was a student in Class 5.

I'll be the homeroom teacher in that class from now on. The parents won't

agree to this. They don't appreciate it when there are sudden, unexpected

changes. If the students' grades were to drop, the backlash against the school

would be terrible.

Is that what you're afraid of?

Their grades?

Well, you see, one of the students is the son of a famous congressman. I'm

sure you've heard of him. Ryu Gwang-pil, the next candidate for the president?

He could change your life.

You and I wouldn't gain anything from getting on his bad side.

Now, what you said is very scary indeed.

Well, of course. Who wouldn't be scared of such a powerful man? Principal Kim, a

world where adults are afraid of children is a world that is nearing its

end.

Man, my ears won't stop fucking ringing. Oh, my God!

Hey. That protection bureau doesn't seem to exist.

Even if it does, he won't do a fucking thing to me. Yeah, you're right. Your

dad owns all of them anyways.

Hi.

I believe you all remember me from this morning, so no need for an introduction.

I'll be your teacher from now on. Oh, shit. Oh, we're so fucked, man. Look at

that. What a warm welcome.

Let's take attendance.

Ko-gyun-chan.

Here. Kim Kyung-min.

Present.

Kim Kwang-soo.

Right here.

Oh. Kwang-soo?

Kim Na-rae.

Present. Ryu Jeon-hyung.

Park Tae-suk.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Tae-suk is dead.

Does anyone know why he committed suicide?

I heard that Tae Suk killed himself over his grades.

Oh, you think so?

Well, I heard that.

Some of you relentlessly bullied Tae Suk.

You bullied him so much that he couldn't take it anymore and died by suicide.

Oh, no, not at all. He was just an idiot that thought the solution to his

problems was to...

And then all his issues would be over with. Jesus, you really love to run your

mouth, don't you? So how about I teach you some manners, huh? Please, wait.

You guys really

are unbelievable.

All you bums gathered together in one class.

You believe teachers are the scum of the earth.

And you proudly continue the tradition of bullying.

You fucking bastard.

One of your classmates commits suicide and here you sit acting as though

nothing happened. You guys really are something else.

Damn.

All those guilty faces.

But you know, class, guilt shouldn't just be a thought.

It should be felt.

All of you, plank position right now.

I'm only going to count to three.

Three!

Sit down.

I said sit down!

We begin our practice exam soon, so let's just focus on that. In the end,

isn't it your job to get us good grades?

I'm certain that I said three.

Would you look at that? These fuckers seem to fear me more than you.

Well, I'm so glad you said that.

That means if you're scared of me, they'll all follow suit, right?

Except the problem is that you don't scare me.

There's nothing you can do.

Don't worry about it.

I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Do you have any idea who I am? Of course.

You're a student.

Nothing more.

I will make sure every single day feels like a living hell.

Get the fuck out of my way. Ben, just for you.

Please enjoy your meal.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Seriously, aren't you ashamed of being such an asshole?

Huh? Stop acting like such dicks.

This fucking car. I want you all to go to the back of the line.

I don't see anyone complaining.

Man, power really is a scary thing, isn't it?

Look at them.

No student should have this influence.

If you want to eat lunch today, go back to the end of the line.

Otherwise, just get out.

Oh, no.

What's he doing?

You ungrateful bastard.

Oh, sorry about that. It annoys me when people waste their food, huh?

What are we going to do about this? Your clothes are all dirty.

I know that your father's a rich congressman and all that, but you should

still take better care of your clothes, right?

Come here. Let me get that. Oh, man, see, this is why you should play with

food. You've got sauce all over you.

Hold on. If we put this on your head... Oh, my Chun-Yung, look at how pretty you

look.

Hey, why don't you take pictures of all this?

I'm sure this would make a great short, right?

Let's all learn from our kind Chun-Yong and enjoy the lovely meal being served

here today, okay?

Now, since you made this mess, you clean it up.

Everyone else in line, chow time.

You must

be so

excited.

Not at all.

What did you say?

What the fuck did you say?

Huh?

You fucking piece of shit.

You're right.

Sorry.

Ah, fucking loser.

Sweetheart, where'd you go?

Can I help you, sir?

Hey, sorry, is this the residence of the great and powerful Congressman Ryu Gwang

-pil?

Look at that.

These are real fruits.

They're not just decoration you have laying around.

It's been a long time since I've had one of these, and I think I forgot what they

might taste like.

Huh?

Mmm.

Oh, these are really delicious.

Jun Young, now that my son is here, would you please share the reason for

your visit tonight?

Sure.

Well, little Jun Young here left early and didn't clean up after class.

Students stand as one, and the teacher stands above all. Didn't I tell you

that, kid?

The issue is he's gotten away with this before.

Apparently, he's not afraid of anyone.

During your last campaign, you ran with the slogan, people as people, politics

as politics.

Isn't that right?

You see, I agree with that.

Teachers should behave like teachers.

And the same thing goes for students. Damn punk!

So now I'll be taking your son to clean things up, like I told him to.

He's been targeting me the whole time, Dad.

He's been trying to blame me for what happened to Tae Sook.

Thank you.

That was good.

All righty, then.

I'll be taking him with me.

I'll make sure he learns his lesson. Let's go.

I believe you're making a mistake. Yes, mistakes were made in your son's

education.

I'll be certain to correct them.

Damn it!

Why didn't you press the button, you punk?

Thank you. Goodbye.

Till next time.

Where's the entrance? Second floor?

These doors sure are slow.

Would you look at how clean the whole bathroom is. You did a very nice job.

I can see my reflection down there.

You're good when you want to be.

Okay, once you're done here, leave the cleaning supplies just like you found

them. Alright?

I've just learned that the Minister of Education is the founder of the ERPB.

I've also learned that you are not a licensed teacher.

I have been given the title of teacher until the end of our inquiry.

But I'm sure you already knew that.

There's something I need your help clarifying.

How did Mai Chin-Yong bruise his head?

I'm not sure what to say.

I mean, I told him to clean the bowl, but I never said to smash his head on

it. Are you saying he deliberately inflicted an injury on himself just to

frame you?

I know he finds it easy to hurt others, but can you imagine how terrified he was

of hurting himself and that bruise of his?

Doesn't he look a little staged?

It seems you're the

one who's not afraid.

Let's imagine a doctor who's afraid of their patients.

He'd be unable to treat them.

Now, if you imagine a lawyer who's afraid of their clients, he couldn't

represent them, could he?

And lastly...

If a teacher were afraid of their students, would they be able to teach

them properly?

I'm sure you're well aware of what it means that I'm standing here today.

The ERPB is a national organization.

You'd be picking a pretty big fight.

That's my field of expertise.

That's good to know.

We heard that you reported us to the bureau, you fucking bitch.

It wasn't me. Don't fucking lie to us. You know how busy Joon Young's father

is? You made him come all the way here.

You wanted me to taste up that bad? I swear it wasn't me. I didn't... You

motherfucker. Hey, hey, hey. It wasn't you, all right?

Come on, let's go. I don't fucking care if you're the one who got over here.

You're gonna pay.

What did we even do to you, huh?

Let's just leave. Keep moving.

I said keep moving.

Fuck!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, lift your head up, you fucker.

Hey, hey, come on, admit you called them.

Jeez, you're a real handful, aren't you?

So what do you want then, up or down?

Up! Just pull me up!

Hey, don't forget the magic word now.

Please pull me up!

So from what I've gathered, it seems like you're always getting beat up by

Ryu Jun-Hyung and his boys.

Is that it?

So how long do you plan on getting bullied and doing nothing, kid?

Don't lecture me when you don't know what you're talking about.

You know what changes if I fight back? Nothing. They'll just come back and do

it again.

When did I tell you to fight back?

I'm just telling you to run.

Listen, if anyone tells you to fight back, then clearly they've never been

beat up by a group of guys before.

Then they'd beat me again. Then you'd just run away again.

I can't just run forever.

That's true.

You can't just keep running away.

So then, go and speak with an adult.

And what good will that do?

You'll never know until you ask.

There are good adults out there.

So, Kyung Min, from now on, you are going to learn to run as fast as

possible.

See that soccer goal over there?

You've got ten seconds to make it back.

Sir? Run.

Are you deaf?

Run!

Come on, faster than that. Is this the fastest you can run?

Keep slagging and I'll set the dogs on you. There's a dog? Yeah, me.

I'm the wild dog here.

Run me up, Jake.

Kyungmin, think you can manage on your own?

Yes, sir.

Damn right. You got it, Kyungmin.

You did a good job today.

Thank you very much.

Look at that presentation.

I think you might have learned a thing or two from being bullied.

So you're just like them, sir?

That's where you'd be wrong.

They're just bullies.

I'm a teacher, who cares?

They're not just bullies, though.

They've got power and influence.

Do you know Chun-Yung's father?

He can ruin an entire family just for fun. Don't worry about his father, all

right?

powerful allies.

I'm glad you have people to rely on.

Young Min, you know you also have people you can rely on.

Like who?

What do you mean?

So no one comes to mind?

Come on kid, think a bit.

Jeez, you're a student. There's only one answer.

Teachers. Are you kidding me? Weren't you listening earlier?

Look, I can be pretty reliable.

I peeled this just for you.

Oh, thank you, sir.

So, Kyungmin, you're telling me you went through all of high school without

making a friend, huh?

I haven't always been the outcast.

You didn't tell your parents?

Were you worried about how they'd react?

Who knows?

Just eat your ramyun while it's warm.

Sir, you can't go in there.

Oh, to what do I owe this pleasure, Congressman Ryu? This Protection Bureau

thing. Is it true you're the one behind all this?

Well,

yes, I am.

How about a cup of tea?

I didn't come here to drink tea with you.

Why don't you come and sit down?

Minister, why did you feel the need to create this thing?

I did it because I had to.

I'm sure I don't have to remind you.

Of the teacher who was murdered two years ago.

That teacher was killed by her student.

The reason I created the Education Rights Protection Bureau was to ensure

that such a tragedy never happened again.

But why send them to Tehan High School? My son is now being harassed by one of

your inspectors.

Are you telling me that your son attends Tehan High School?

Why, I wasn't aware.

Do you know what your so-called inspector has been doing at the school?

If it went public, we'd all be in trouble. Nothing good can come of this,

so let's end this quietly while we still can.

You see, it's just that we've only just started, and founding this organization

was no easy task.

How about we give it a chance first?

Mr. Kongsuk, you know how much I respect you, don't you?

I'm saying this with all the care in the world. It'd be a terrible shame for you

to retire over something so mundane.

A father helping his son must never

be taken lightly.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you could be here. You got my vote.

Yeah, you're busy, so thank you for that. What do you have to say about the

allegations of bribery during your last campaign?

An anonymous tip was just released regarding your sexual harassment. Give

me a moment.

What the hell is going on right now?

What does this mean for your current campaign?

Is everything all right?

What's all the commotion?

Don't worry, it's nothing.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go.

Our dear Congressman Ryu doesn't seem to fully grasp his situation.

Wait a minute.

Are you the one who leaked all of this?

Why the hell are you doing this to me?

Did you know it took me two years to establish the Bureau?

And it turns out that you can learn a lot in two years.

Are you insane?

By doing this to me, you will ruin our party!

We are both on the same side!

That's way wrong.

There are no sides when we talk about education.

I knew it. You were targeting me from the start.

What did I do wrong? I did more for this party than anyone else did!

You still think this is about the party?

As for what you did wrong, well, I'm sure it'll be all over the news.

This isn't fucking fair!

I've done nothing compared to the rest of these scum. So why would you ever do

this to me?

Because you needed to fall.

For your son.

To learn his lesson.

Really.

You should have done a better job at raising that child of yours.

Minister, everyone make room.

God damn it!

That's him, isn't it?

The National Assembly has approved a motion to arrest Congressman Ryokong

Poo, who is under investigation in connection to the multiple corruption

allegations recently reported.

Support for the motion increased amid reports alleging that the Congressman's

son is a notorious bully whose actions drove one of his victims to take his own

life. This case, which had nearly been buried, was uncovered by an

investigation by the Educational Rights Protection Bureau, a newly established

agency under the direct authority of the Minister of Education.

The Bureau operates independently.

and is responsible for receiving reports, conducting investigations, and

responding to violation of conduct.

I certainly think this will become a political issue.

Will that be a problem?

Don't you worry about that. I'll make sure to bite the bullet.

You just focus on getting the job done.

What are you talking about, I'll bite the bullet?

Get back to me once you've been in the line of fire.

It was only a metaphor.

You think I'm in the line of fire?

No, I was just using a metaphor.

Great job today.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Did you guys see this? As of today, the Daehan High outcast is... Our adorable

princess Joon Young.

Congratulations.

You know, I really think this fits you best. I think you're right.

Oh, sweetheart,

where are you going, huh?

Don't forget, you're fucking nothing without your dad. Just let the dumpster

boys back.

It wasn't your fault.

Youngmin.

It wasn't your fault.

When Tae-suk was picked as the outcast,

I'm ashamed to say it felt good.

Then when he died, the first thing I did was smile.

For once I thought that I was finally going to be able to escape this place.

In the end, I'm just the same as all of them.

You're nothing like them, kid.

You were an innocent victim that was abandoned.

Abandoned by the adults that were around you.

As they stood by and watched you in silence as the bullies made your life a

living hell.

So don't you ever believe that you are anything like them.

I just filmed you doing this. I'll kill you all. Hey, hey, stop. Let's see what

we got here.

Oh, shit. Junior, stop.

Please. I'm sorry, Junior.

What's up with me?

Is it still funny now?

It's the inspector. The inspector's here.

You just don't want to learn, do you?

You remember what I said? Guilt isn't thoughts.

Real guilt is something felt with your body.

That's gasoline.

What the fuck?

You scared?

Isn't this what you were planning?

Ask yourself the same thing.

Do you think that Daysook deserved to be treated that way?

Daysook was afraid of dying too, you know.

Just like you.

But he went through with it.

And that's because of you, you piece of shit.

If you're finding it too difficult to deal with your friends bullying you,

then why don't you transfer to a different school?

What did you say? Why should my son be the one to change schools?

Why aren't you making the ones bullying my son transfer? Why should the victim

be forced to leave?

Hold on. You can't just cancel your orders now.

I don't understand what's going on. All my vendors are canceling.

I messed up.

Please just leave my father out of it. Stop your father. I'm begging you.

I'll do what you want. I'll do anything. Look at you.

I thought that I was just a loser who always cries for his daddy. I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

What can I do to make it up to you?

I'll do anything you want.

Just die already.

Ensuring that students fully grasp the consequences of their actions by having

the students live the torture that they made others live through and making sure

they take accountability.

That is exactly how the Bureau believes that real lessons should be learned.

what lessons you've learned.

Deysa won't be able to come back, right?

And for the rest of your life, you will carry the burden of knowing you caused

this.

That's the justice he will get.

This is the hell you created.

Enjoy living in it.

The police reinvestigated Taesuk's case and immediately arrested Ryu Jin-hyung

and his friends for what they did to Taesuk.

And for the first time ever, Principal Kim didn't cower away and took

responsibility for everything.

Principal Kim, have you been hiding there the entire time?

The ERPB website exposed Ryu Chin-kyung's bullying for everyone to

see.

And they say that those records can only be erased if the victims forgive them.

And that's how the Bureau ended their stay at Taehan High.

That was the last time that we ever saw the inspector.

Who's the bravest?

Let me know how far you want to take this.

I've been having dreams of winning. I can see myself in an esteemed position.

I got no qualms. I got no fears.

I got blood, sweat, and tears under my belt. And now I'm switching gears and

there's no stopping. You got no options. We win by any means necessary. You got

it.
