CAN WE MEET UP? MINOR?
I'll PAY 200,000 WON FOR 3 HRS, YES?

-Excuse me.
-Holy shit.

I'm really sorry,
but could I maybe borrow your phone?

Uh, I'm so sorry.

Excuse me. Um, can I borrow
your phone? I've just lost mine--

I'm sorry, my battery is dead.

On my way. Yeah.

I gotta go now.

Hey, kid.

Hold up one sec.

What's all this?

Is it blood?

Uh, no, it isn't.

Yeah, it… it looks like it is.

Can you tell me your name, kid?

Let's go inside here. We, we can talk.

No, I should take you to the hospital.

Hey, get it together and talk to me

-or I can't help you.
-No, no.

No, it's just that…

Here, top of Building 101!

Call the parents
and don't let anyone near.

Call for backup now!

Copy. We're on our way!

I just…

I killed someone.

What?

I used this.

PETITION TO ABOLISH THE JUVENILE ACT
AND BRING MURDERERS TO JUSTICE

RAISE THE LEGAL THRESHOLD
FOR PUNISHMENT OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS

The person responsible
for the recent murder

of an eight-year-old child

and the subsequent mutilation
of the boy's body

has turned himself in
after an eight-hour search.

The perpetrator, whose surname
is Baek is a 13-year-old boy

who lives in the same apartment complex
as the murder victim.

Baek has already undergone
investigation by the police

and has been found responsible.

However, Baek's age
designates him a young offender,

and he cannot be held accountable
for his crimes.

In the wake of this grizzly murder,

we're expecting controversy
over the law to grow.

There are about
3,300 judges in South Korea.

But only 20 of those judges work
in the juvenile courts.

COURT

And those 20 judges adjudicate
on the cases

of 30,000 young offenders per year.

In the juvenile court system,
a legal assistant may be present,

but there are no prosecutors
in the court room.

The judge directly questions
the young offenders and then decides

whether to grant them probation.

And if probation is granted,
the judge's real work begins.

Since they need to monitor
the young offender

and see that they're adjusting well.

To ensure that…

the young offender
doesn't run away or re-offend.

The judge overseeing the case
assumes a continuous supervisor role.

That seems strange, though.

Why is the judge involved
even after the trial is over?

I believe the purpose of Juvenile Law
is to provide a structure

where troubled kids can reform themselves
and mature into better citizens.

So really, it's the judge's responsibility
to direct and to supervise them.

So the goal of the juvenile court system…
isn't punishment?

Okay, then.

We'll wrap up the interview
after one last question, ma'am.

What made you decide
to be a juvenile court judge?

There's really only one reason.

Hatred.

What?

I have…

nothing but hatred…

for young offenders.

I'm not gonna even be at home.

Yes.

-Here it is.
-Yes.

Well, just because he's
at the juvenile center

doesn't mean he'll have a record.

The center's not a prison, ma'am.

People think it's some kind
of punitive detention center,

but kids can get school credit there,

while we follow up on their cases
and bring them here for therapy.

YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT

-Juvenile Criminal Collegiate Division.
-Yes. No, no, no.

-Well, uh… No, I wasn't signing.
-Which police station?

Uh, uh, it's the order
handed down by the court.

What can I help you with, ma'am?

I'm sorry, what?

YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT

YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT
JUVENILE CRIMINAL COLLEGIATE DIVISION

Uh, Judge Sim Eun-seok, right?

I'm Woo Su-mi. I manage
the Juvenile Criminal Collegiate Division.

You got here earlier than we'd expected.

Follow me, ma'am.

Here.

You were already told that

you'll be sharing the office
with another judge, right?

He's a male judge. His name is Cha Tae-ju.

He was here all night
writing up a sentencing.

He just stepped out
to go freshen up.

Mr. Kang here?

Is he in there?

-Yes, thank you.
-Good job.

-Good job, guys.
-Great work.

-I'm heading out now.
-Great work, everyone.

So next week's shoot's
been postponed, is that right?

That's right, sir. Today's footage
should be enough for two weeks, sir.

Oh, one of our associate judges
up and left.

We have cases coming in,
we're way understaffed.

-It's stressing me out.
-I can imagine.

Broadcasting, trials,
and even volunteering.

All my respect, Judge Kang.

A LOOK AT JUDGE KANG WON-JUNG
WHO GIVES AND VOLUNTEERS

Wow, what a guy, huh?

-Excuse me, sir!
-Huh?

That was the courthouse on the phone.
They need you there right away.

Time to revoke the Juvenile Law!

Revoke! Revoke!

Time to revoke
the Juvenile Law!

Revoke! Revoke!

Do not tolerate punishment
for young offenders right now!

Zero tolerance now!

Yes, understood.

Again?

Well, how bad is the injury, though?

Yeah, yeah, I understand what you mean.

Uh, yeah.

He should get the treatment first.

Let me know when that's taken care of.
Thanks. Talk to you soon. Yeah.

JUVENILE CRIMINAL COLLEGIATE DIVISION

Pardon.

May I help you, ma'am?

Uh, well, the thing is you can't
really just wander around in here.

Uh, so are you here to meet someone?

The new associate judge
who's starting today.

Oh, Judge Si… Sim Eun-seok?
That's his name?

Have you meet him yet?

I heard he'll be a little late today

because the… the whole transfer
was out of the blue.

Did you have an appointment
with him, though?

I don't need a damn appointment.

Because I'm…

Sim Eun-seok, young man.

I might come off a little harsh,
but I am your senior.

-Hey!
-Oh, my goodness.

What the hell's wrong with you?
I said not to call the broadcast station!

I told you that when you
interrupt me there,

everything always falls to shit, huh?

I'm walking on eggshells all the time
over there as it is.

So it'll be on you if I get fired.

Um, Mr. Kang. I told him to call you.

We had an urgent case come through.

What is it?

The Yeonhwa Child Murder Case
has been sent to us, sir.

I'll go tell
the new associate judge

and also Judge Tae-ju to go
and meet you in your office, sir.

JUVENILE PROTECTION CASE

Hi, sir.

You have a meeting with the
Press Arbitration Committee after this.

What do you want for dinner?

Everybody's already heard about
the Yeonhwa Case, right?

YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT
JUVENILE PROTECTION CASE

Ji-hu!

Ji-hu!

Ji-hu!

Ji-hu went to borrow a phone
from some older kid.

-Mm-hmm. And?
-Because he didn't have one

and he needed to call his mom.

But the kid told him he needed
to go inside to charge his phone,

so Ji-hu followed him back to his house.

Please back up. Step back, sir.

The culprit
is a 13-year-old young offender

who lives in the same complex
as the victim.

He's small, only around 5 feet 3.

And he apparently strangled
the eight-year-old boy to death,

cut him up with a hatchet,
and then disposed of the body.

He dumped the internal organs
and the rest of the body in a compost bin,

so the family was unable
to recover the body for the funeral.

The two boys don't seem
to have known each other.

He did it in broad daylight
at an apartment complex

beside a police station
and an elementary school.

This is just the grim new reality
of juvenile crimes.

Kidnapping, murder,
body mutilation, and disposal.

But the kid is still a young offender.

The maximum sentence according to the law

is only 20 years
which would cause an uproar.

Though, in his case, he can only
get two years in youth detention…

because he's under 14 years of age.

NAME: BAEK SEONG-U
13 YEARS OLD

Basically,
the press will eat us alive.

I heard you did well
at the training institute.

And that you surpassed
all your male classmates

and went on to the Central District Court.

And you even trained overseas, right?

You're destined to be one of the elites.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck
on this case here…

since you've been selected as judge.

Right.

The outcome may
have been determined already.

But the department's handling of this

is gonna have
the whole country's attention.

So be careful, huh?

Maybe you already know,

but the way we go about
our business around here

is really quite a bit different
from the way things are

at the Juvenile District Court you're at.

You only handled
juvenile protection cases, is that right?

At the Juvenile Criminal
Collegiate Division,

we actually do juvenile protection cases
in addition to juvenile criminal cases.

So that means the associate judge
has to read about 80 cases every week.

So that comes out to 300 cases
a month, you know.

Mm.

So these juvenile criminal cases
go through collegiate court

and the sentences are reported
to Mr. Kang.

Although protection cases
are done separately and on specific days.

There are quite a few open cases here.

And that data you wanted, right here.

Ma'am, I apologize
for the misunderstanding earlier.

It's just when I first heard your name,

I mistakenly assumed you'd be a man.

And you're sure you're not
somewhat disappointed about that?

What?

Oh, of course not.

Yes?

It's nice to meet you, ma'am.

My name is Joo Yeong-sil,
I'm a parliamentary counselor.

I'm Prosecutor Seo Beom, ma'am.

Right.

This whole stack's
for the Yeonhwa Child Murder case?

Yes. Yes, it's quite a bit, ma'am.

The perpetrator's name
is Baek Seong-u, right?

Yes.

Let's arrange a date for the trial
as early as possible.

Since it's an atypical case,
go ahead and contact the victim's family.

I'll get on it, ma'am.

Hey, it's almost
MJ time, everyone.

Oh, Mr. Kang won't be joining us today.
He's made other plans.

Um…

It's a… a little tradition we have here.

MJ is just short for "meal with judge."

The kids who have just been released
meet with the judge and staff.

We go out and have a meal together
and chat a little.

We all go to a restaurant somewhere
just to catch up with them.

We think it really helps them out.

Fine. You go right ahead.

You should really
come along with us today.

If the associate judge doesn't come
when Mr. Kang can't,

the gathering doesn't mean anything.

Not like I sentenced
any of these delinquents.

Following up the kids after their release

is one of the responsibilities
of a Juvenile Court judge.

You may not have overseen their cases,
but they're your responsibility, you know.

They expect to meet you, ma'am.

Do I have to go?

So you're not gonna do
taekwondo anymore, Do-seok, huh?

Mm, yeah.

Yeah, but I'm still looking
into becoming a security guard.

I already got a license and I passed
my final exams at the detention center.

-Proud of you.
-Thank you.

Hey, Yu-ri. Uh, how's your grandma
been doing lately?

Ah! Well, she's been doing
a lot better, sir.

Oh, I'm getting my paycheck soon,
and I'll be able to pay you back

for those meds that
you bought for my grandma.

That was really nice.

Right. I heard
you're gonna start training soon.

No need to pay me back.

Just give me a haircut someday
and we're even.

A haircut?

BTS style, though. You can do that, huh?

I wanna know just how good you are.

Hey, you know,

the director of the detention center
was complimenting you.

He says you've changed a lot.

How about we give a toast to Seol-ah

-for getting released from the center?
-Okay.

-Congrats.
-Congrats.

-Thank you so much, sir.
-Congrats.

-Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom.
-Mm.

He really loves this kids, huh?

And I think the kids can really tell.
They get along with him as well.

-Thank you for the food.
-Thank you so much. Thanks.

-Thank you for the food.
-You're coming with me.

Excuse me. Could you
hold on a second, please?

I didn't steal from you!
How many times do I have to tell you, huh?

You bumped into me
leaving the bathroom,

and that must have been when you stole it.

I did bump into you, but I didn't steal.

I swear to you!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It's all right.

I was willing to drop
this whole thing if you apologized.

But this is absurd.

I heard what you were saying
about being criminals.

-Call the police right now!
-Ma'am, ma'am, please, please.

-Please, let's just relax.
-But you didn't actually see her

-take your wallet.
-That's right.

-These kids are all criminals.
-Okay, I'm asking you to relax.

-Fucking bullshit!
-What's that?

Seol-ah.

I swear it wasn't me.

I didn't take anything, all right?

But, listen. Trust me.

I didn't do it. I swear to God
I didn't steal from her.

Let's call the police now.
This is all a waste of time.

Hey, Ms. Sim, she just got released
from the detention center, you know.

Correct.

She's only been out for a few hours.

How dare she.

-I'm not gonna go back!
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

It wasn't me, though!

-It wasn't me, though!
-Hey, Seol-ah. Seol-ah.

It's okay.

It's not me. I swear.
I swear I didn't do it!

-I won't repeat myself.
-Try, try to calm down.

Send her to the station now.

Miss Sim.

Hey, Ms. Sim!

They're innocent
until proven guilty, you know.

But you basically just denied her
the right to defend herself in court.

You could've at least heard her out.

Come on, how can you not empathize
with this poor girl?

And why should I do that?

How could she prove
she's actually innocent

without anyone advocating for her?

She'll be presumed guilty
just because of her record.

Is she…

really innocent?

Miss Sim, come on!

They just found the wallet
under a nearby table.

That woman must have just dropped it.

Let's go. And you can see for yourself.

You must have been upset.

Seol-ah, are you all right?

I'm so sorry for our mistake.

We really should've looked
for the woman's wallet more thoroughly.

-We apologize.
-We apologize.

I told you it wasn't me.

I swore I didn't do anything.

Say you're sorry.

Apologize for accusing me.

Apologize to me now!

I'm not gonna do that, kiddo.

Because, in fact,…

…I saw everything you did.

In her left pocket.

You didn't steal, hmm?

Everything's okay. Just tell them that.
Tell them you're innocent.

I didn't.

-Talk to Ms. Joo.
-Seol-ah, hey.

Let me look in your pocket.

-I didn't do that!
-I know.

-I didn't do that!
-Seol-ah.

-I know, just let me look.
-It wasn't me!

That's just…

This is the reason I so despise you all.

Kids like you… never change.

Well, go on. Take her to the station.

And I'll see you in court.

Uh, did you see the look
on Ms. Sim's face?

Mm-hmm.

Thank God I only know her as a coworker.

If I were one of those kids and I met her,
I think I'd piss myself.

I can understand
why they call her "Judge Max."

Huh? "Judge Max"?

Yeah, "Judge Max."

Yeah. When she was in charge
of the juvenile division,

she would always give young defenders
the maximum sentence.

That's where it's from.

Kids always say, "No matter what happens,
just don't end up in Judge Max's court."

According to the rumors, she always works
overtime and on the weekends.

Even the court union
has their eyes on her.

In other words, we're pretty screwed.

God.

Let's get to work.

Yeah.

I just got back
from the police station.

You can't trust these kids too much.
All they ever do is lie.

You really overstepped
when you backed her into a corner

while everyone was watching her.

These kids have feelings
and personal rights, you know.

Yeah, my ass, they do.

You consider yourself a good adult.

The kids warm up to you,
and they feel like opening up to you.

But do they…

Do they really think you're a good adult?

I'd like to know that.

Baek Seong-u.
I was born on November 30, 2008.

Where is your legal guardian?

Are they in the courtroom?

She said she called you.

Uh, I got a call. She said, uh…

She said that, that she's
gonna be late, ma'am.

Well, then…

why don't you tell me…

everything you remember from that day?

To tell you the truth,

that day, I was actually…

really not doing too good.

The voices were really loud
even with the meds.

Hello?

Hey, can I borrow your phone
for just a second?

I gotta call my mom.

But my phone's almost dead.

Can I just borrow it for like a minute?

Whoa!

Ooh! Ooh!

I used the phone
to get him inside my house.

But buy the time we got there,
the voices were gone.

And I was gonna send the kid home
because I felt bad for him.

And then…

Hey!

This is a new one, right?

Can I play it for a little bit?

Wow, can I try out this VR game?

Pew! Pew! Pew! Pew! It's goal!

I told him to go home,

but he kept talking
and talking and talking.

And the voices in my head
were getting louder and louder.

…this thing?
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

We're gonna play hide-and-seek now.

You stay in here until I find you, okay?

If you move, I swear I'm gonna kill you.

Yeah?

And there was…

no one at home?

I'm usually alone all day.

CERTIFICATE OF FAMILY RELATIONS

Mom's busy
teaching at the school.

Do you wanna hear something funny?

Do you know where the kid was hiding out?

Ji-hu.

Ji-hu.

Ji-hu.

I found you.

You should have seen the look on his face.

That fucking monster.

I heard… that kids under the age of 14

don't go to prison
even for something like murder.

Is that true?

Great.

-Court is dismissed. Uh, ma'am.
-Your… Your Honor. Excuse me.

What happened to Seong-u? Where is he now?

Where did you
take him? He here?

Excuse me, ma'am,
are you Seong-u's mother?

I am.

You're a little late, ma'am.

Yeah, I had to work.

You had to work?

I heard on the news
that he won't go to prison.

So for how long is he gonna stay
at the Juvenile Intake Center?

Have you spoken
with the victim's family, ma'am?

N… no.

You should apologize.

I found the kid's mother
a little strange as well.

When someone's cornered,
their true nature always comes out.

That's how we know
how vicious humans can be.

Ms. Sim, Ji-hu's mom is here to see you.

I heard that the boy's a young offender.

Is it true that…

he won't even go to prison?

How is someone so young…

capable of murder?

How can a young child…

cut off another child's arms and legs?

And how is it that…

he won't go to prison at all?

Sorry, ma'am.

Ji-hu keeps
showing up in my dreams.

He just stands there and cries.

He doesn't say anything to me.

He just stands there crying, Your Honor.

During Ji-hu's first birthday party,
he held on to a lucky string.

But we used the same one…

at our first-born's first birthday.

So the lucky string was all worn out.

Is that why this happened to him?

Is it because of that string that my baby…

All of this is my fault.

This whole thing is all my fault.

This is an assortment
of Ji-hu's favorite side dishes.

I heard you can't accept
anything else, so…

Thanks.

HANWOOL DAILY
REPORTER KIM HYEONG-JUN

I think
that's enough for the interview, sir.

Wow, this is much too much, huh?

I'm feeling pressured, Reporter Kim.

Really?

You made time for us
despite all the broadcast and trials.

We figured we ought to treat you
to something nice.

-Thanks.
-I imagine you'll be hearing

the good news soon.

Hearing good news?

I shouldn't have said that.

I guess I should I tell you.

I heard this from a colleague
in the politics bureau.

The Liberty Party is looking for
a new candidate for the upcoming election,

and they apparently have you in mind.

You're pretty well-known
because of the TV show,

plus, you're overseeing
a very high profile case.

Just make sure you wrap up the case well.

and I could set up a meeting
with the party.

YUN JI-HU

This is an assortment
of Ji-hu's favorite dishes.

I heard you can't accept
anything else, so…

YUN JI-HU

Do not tolerate punishment
for young offenders right now!

Zero tolerance! Zero tolerance!

Time to revoke the Juvenile Law!

Yes, Juvenile Criminal
Collegiate Division.

You sent over the file?

Yes, okay. I'll get it over
to Ms. Sim right away.

Okay.

Baek Seong-u is here already.
He's in the therapy session.

Ms. Sim wanted me
to find her this one file.

It looks like more intel
on the Yeonhwa Child Murder case.

So you claim that you're still
suffering from schizophrenia?

Is that right?

Yeah.

You know that lying to me
will simply make things worse for you.

Yeah, I know.

So the motive for your crime
was schizophrenia?

Yeah.

You've already admitted you lured
the boy into your house

and proceeded to murder him,
and then mutilate the boy's body, no?

Yeah.

How come?

You knew you'd be tried
as a young offender?

Damn it.

Yeah!

Here you go.

SCHIZOPHRENIA, BIPOLAR AFFECTIVE DISORDER
ANXIETY, NEUROSIS

No.

This isn't you.

Schizophrenia manifests
in many different ways.

Some patients believe
that someone's trying to hurt them.

Others hear things, see things,
smell things, and feel things.

Unfortunately, the illness can have
different symptoms for everyone.

But one thing we know for certain

is that, for now, we don't have
a viable cure for schizophrenia.

Patients have difficulty concentrating
for an extended time.

But what if…

…they commit a murder?

Schizophrenics tend to be
easily apprehended

as they're unable to dispose of evidence.

Cleaning a crime scene
requires a high level of concentration

and causes them a great amount of stress.

But not only
did you clean the crime scene,

you lured the kid, plotted the murder,
mutilated, and disposed of his corpse!

Are you really going to blame this
on schizophrenia?

Are you really cured now?

SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER
ADDITIONAL PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS ADMINISTERED

There are two main reasons why criminals
usually hide their underlying intent.

One reason is that
it's unfavorable to the criminal,

and then the other
is oftentimes because there's…

another person involved.

But you know all about Juvenile Law.

So circumstances
are already favorable to you.

So I'd say it's the second reason.

Oh, shit.

I believe there's another person…

…involved in the murder.

Can I borrow your phone for just a second?
I gotta call my mom.

Fuck you!

It's not her!

She doesn't have
anything to do with this.

Seriously, I swear to you that.

She has nothing to do with this at all.

I always felt something wasn't right.

Why would a kid go into a stranger's house

even if he had to make
an urgent phone call?

And you're… turning yourself in anyway.

So why dispose of the body?

-Murder, body mutilation, and disposal!
-Baek Seong-u.

You aren't the one
who actually murdered him.

Mr. Cha, here's the paperwork
she asked for.

HAN YE-EUN
MOM

It's her, right?

I already told you.

If you keep lying to me,

it'll only make it worse.

Contact his mother…

…and send him back
to the Juvenile Intake Unit.

No, fuck you!

Ah, no!

No! She has nothing
to do with this! I swear!

I want to go home! Take me home!

No, fuck you!

What the hell
are you talking about?

If you're going to talk nonsense,
you should just quit.

You think we're the police or something?
You're overstepping your…

Everything's fitting together, sir.

I think we ought to check.

You think the police
are stupid, don't you?

You think they didn't
thoroughly investigated already?

He turned himself in.

They assume it's him because
of the weapon and his schizophrenia,

and because he's made the confession.

But I think they're wrong.

I think he had an accomplice.

Baek Seong-u is far too mentally unstable
to have done all of this by himself.

You have proof?

Her number's on his phone records
before and after the murder.

And there's footage of her
in an elevator with the victim,

and she's wearing the same
school uniform as Seong-u.

I also have his doctor's statement.
You need more proof?

So you want to send the case
back to the police?

This case is attracting
a lot of attention.

And the police already said
the culprit's apprehended.

Do you really think they'd ever admit
that they were mistaken?

So I'll go catch her myself.

But you're just a judge!

And it's the judge's duty
according to proper protocol

to get to the bottom of the case.

As of now, it's just
a juvenile protection case.

But if it turns out there's an accomplice
who is over the age of 14,

it then becomes
a juvenile criminal case, sir.

We're the only juvenile
criminal justice department,

and you really think
we should keep this under wraps?

And if you're wrong?

What if you're hunch is wrong
and you screw this all up?

-Then I'll answer for it.
-My ass, god! What the hell!

Just shut up and finish the trial
by the rules.

-Shut up?
-We cannot afford

to make a big commotion with this case!
Do you understand? Huh?

I'm…

I'm giving you a direct order.

Now go.

I don't wanna look at you.

Now get out!

What the hell.

MURDER CASE WILL BE SEVERELY PUNISHED

ACCORDING TO YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT
JUDGE KANG WON-JUNG

You're pretty well-known
because of the TV show,

plus, you're overseeing
a very high profile case.

Just make sure you wrap up the case well.

Damn.

I've got to agree with Mr. Kang, ma'am.

This whole thing seems too risky.

If any of this gets out,
the police and the general public

will go after Han Ye-eun,
and she might be innocent after all.

We'd be ruining this girl's reputation
and humiliating her family.

I think we should finish
Baek Seong-u's trial.

-And at a later date--
-When is that?

When the victim's parents are almost dead?

Is that then?

-Ms. Sim.
-How about…

we do our goddamn job?

JUVENILE PROTECTION CASE

YUN JI-HU

COURT

And if you're wrong? What if you're hunch
is wrong and you screw this all up?

We'd be ruining this girl's reputation
and humiliating her family.

What are you doing here, ma'am?

I've been looking for you.

I really wanna catch this girl.

But we need proof to convince Mr. Kang.

Why the change of heart?

Because…

I'm feeling confident we can pull it off.

Thank you.

Detective Ko.

Hello, sir.

Oh, hello, Mr. Cha.

I was hoping to ask you
a few questions about Baek Seong-u.

Oh, Baek Seong-u?

Could you tell me what happened
the night he turned himself in?

The first time I saw him
was in front of the police station.

He seemed very nervous.

Let's go inside here. We… we can talk.

He didn't seem like he was
gonna turn himself in at first.

But how do I say this…

It's like he changed
into someone else all of a sudden.

I just…

I killed someone.

His expression changed
in the blink of an eye.

Wait, hang on.

-What?
-Right there.

What is he looking at?

Is there any footage from the other side?

I have to say, I just can't understand
why you treat these kids…

the way that you do.

But if we make the decision to…

only prosecute the boy even though
we know he had an accomplice,

it would be an insult
to the entire court system.

And I really don't want that.

So I can help you.

'Cause I'm your…
I'm your subordinate, ma'am.

It won't be easy to pull this off alone.

We don't have much intel
about these kids' background

or what kind of larger network
they might have formed.

Han Ye-eun dropped out of Yeonju
Girls' High School during freshman year.

So then, do we have anyone else on file
who also goes to Yeonju High School?

WOO SEOL-AH
ADMITTED: DEC 21, 2021

Yeah, I guess it's hard to predict.

How… how things are gonna pan out.

No, I won't.

I'm not gonna help you.

Just listen, Seol-ah.

Have I ever asked you
for any kind of favor?

Can you help me just this once?

Han Ye-eun often hangs out
at the I Sens Internet Café at Juseong-ro.

You can drive, right?

I'm still paying off my license fee.

So I guess I'll just head over
to Han Ye-eun's place.

She might be there,
chatting with Baek Seong-u online.

What's going on?

Why would you just show up?

Please just let Seong-u go. Oh, god.

Please, can you let him go?

I'm the one who gave birth to him.
I know him better than anyone.

You know, parents come here
all the time and say the exact same thing.

Please let him go, I beg you!

Get out of here.

I won't tell you again!

Please let him go.

Get off my goddamn car!

I SENS PC

Hey.

-What the hell are you trying to do?
-I'm sorry, honey.

What are you doing here, ma'am?

We received a tip that an offender
we're looking for is here.

-Please be cooperative.
-Are you with the police?

If you like, you can give them a call.

You know that having teens here this late
is against the Juvenile Protection Law?

You could be sent to prison
and pay a 20 million won fine.

It's all up to you.

You're just having a look around, right?

Do judges go around
catching kids these days?

Call the probation office.

Did you find her?
Is Han Ye-eun there?

She's in the internet café at Juseong-ro.

You're Baek Seong-u's friend?

Who are you?

I'm the judge overseeing his trial.

I can call the police
and make a scene here.

This is my last courtesy.

Come quietly.

Ah!

-What the hell?
-Are you okay?

What?

Oh, goddamn it!

What do I do? It's all ruined now!

-Hey, go! Just go!
-What the hell?

-Go now!
-Get out of here.

This taxi has already been reserved!

Move it! Fuck!

Ah!

I have…

nothing but hatred…

for young offenders.
