Junseong.

Do you take me for a pushover?

One winter day when I was in middle school...

I had this conversation with my parents.

Minwoo.

You may not have realized it,

but you were born into a family that is more wealthy than others.

but you were born into a family that is more wealthy than others.

That's why you get to live in a fine house in a nice neighborhood

and attend great schools surrounded by good people.

But... this world isn't just full of good people.

But... this world isn't just full of good people.

In this world...

There are a hundred times more bad people than good...

No. A thousand times more.

Really?

That is why I've decided to send you to a regular high school.

That is why I've decided to send you to a regular high school.

Gosh, it's hot.

- This is so delicious. - It's good.

Is your dad really a chairman, Minwoo?

- No. - Hey, don't lie!

- We've heard everything. - Don't lie.

What are you, then?

- Your family must be loaded. - I'll have one more, Minwoo.

- Can we have more sundae and tteokbokki? - Don't we have some left?

Things will be completely different there.

Things will be completely different there.

Your classmates might even attack you at times.

Minwoo.

Where have you been?

- The first floor. - I see.

Can you lend me 30,000 won?

I'll pay you back.

Being wealthier than others doesn't mean that you have to be giving all the time.

Being wealthier than others doesn't mean that you have to be giving all the time.

- You need 30,000 won? - Yes.

If someone tries to take advantage of your wealth,

you must show them that you're not to be messed with.

you must show them that you're not to be messed with.

But who are you?

Dealing with such people toughened me up bit by bit.

Dealing with such people toughened me up bit by bit.

Here's one thing that you must always keep in mind.

Don't ever let anyone push you around.

And thus I'm not the Park Minwoo that I used to be.

And thus, I'm not the Park Minwoo that I used to be.

I'm not weak.

No one can ever mess with me.

That's what I thought.

That's what I believed.

I guess I still have a long way to go.

[STUDENT RECORD: CHA SOOAN]

[2021, WRITTEN TEST PASSED, FITNESS TEST FAILED]

[2022, CURRENT YEAR: FITNESS TEST PASSED]

People rarely get a perfect score on the fitness test.

You must have worked hard.

You've been preparing for it for so long,

so I'm not worried about your interview.

- Are you still doing the community patrol? - Yes.

You'll get extra points for mentioning that during your interview

since that's also a part of police work.

I've been reviewing the previous interview questions,

but the group interview worries me.

Isn't your brother in the force?

Doesn't he give you any pointers?

He wouldn't have any.

- I don't expect much from him. - Why not?

They never should have accepted him in the first place.

[CHA JAEGYEONG]

Ma'am.

My brother.

This is ridiculous.

I have better things to do.

You've kidnapped me?

Stop joking around and untie me.

This isn't funny at all.

[TYPE IN FOR TRANSLATION]

This is not a joke.

Don't be ridiculous. Hey, Lee Junseong!

Junseong!

You carried me on your back last night.

I remember that much, at least.

Untie me right now.

You don't know who I am.

You have been kidnapped.

Hey.

You're pushing me over my limit.

This is your last reminder.

If you don't stay silent, you'll be put in grave danger.

If you don't stay silent, you'll be put in grave danger.

Fuck you.

Fuck you, you pieces of shit!

- Let go of me! - Hey!

Let me go, you jerk!

You bastard!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Hey!

So it really is you, Junseong.

I recognize your cheap cologne.

I can smell it, you moron.

Fuck!

Hey.

What do you think you're doing?

You better get things straight.

We have no intention of releasing you, no matter what you say.

Do you understand?

Hey.

You just said "we."

- We can do it! - We can do it!

Thank you for everything, Director.

I should be thanking you, Mr. Yu.

Don't mention it.

Welcome.

What's this?

Move.

Get out of my way!

Mr. Cho.

It's been a while, Ma'am.

To what do I owe this pleasure?

My son...

has been kidnapped.

Your best course of action would be to report it to the police

Your best course of action would be to report it to the police

or to hire a competent private investigator.

I could introduce you to someone if you'd like.

That'd be the only thing I could do for you.

One more thing.

Don't ever come to see me again like this

over something that isn't business-related.

I'm warning you.

Give my regards to your late husband.

Shouldn't I be the one issuing such a warning?

If that's an ultimatum, I should be the one giving it to you.

If you don't help me,

I'll go to the police directly.

I'll tell them that the director of the Youth Baseball Federation

I'll tell them that the director of the Youth Baseball Federation

runs an illegal sports betting operation

and that we're working together.

I'll tell them everything.

Are you threatening me now?

Not at all.

I'm giving you an order.

The choice is yours to make.

You could either go down with a mother who has lost her son or not.

You could either go down with a mother who has lost her son or not.

Where are you going?

I have classes.

Now?

What about it?

What's different now?

He knows everything.

How will you handle it?

He might suspect us for now,

but he'll believe us in time.

Junseong,

What I'm saying is, even if he suspects us now,

he'll buy our story sooner or later.

Does that mean...

he won't know that it's us?

Exactly.

Damn it.

Why do you have to be so logical?

So?

When will you get his mom to pay up?

Let's wait for a few days.

I'm sure she's in a dilemma right now, too.

What sort of dilemma?

Whether to report it to the police or not.

That's also an important issue for us.

I'll get going.

I have something really important today, so I have to go.

Excuse me.

Me?

Cops visited your place last night. Right?

That's right. And?

I was the one who reported you.

I see.

We made a ruckus, didn't we?

I'm sorry about that. It won't happen again.

That's not it.

I don't think you understood me.

I don't think you understood me.

All the noise you make...

You little...

In other words, I heard people fighting to the death.

Did you hear a sob, too?

A friend of mine cried a river.

Of course.

Men shouldn't cry like that.

It's so off-putting.

Sorry? It was nothing.

I get what you mean.

I'll be more careful going forward.

It needs to be stamped.

Yes.

Why is that?

That's just how the rules are.

Technically speaking, it wasn't their decision.

It was the school's.

But the professors...

It's the professors who make up the school's disciplinary committee.

I don't have my seal right now. Come back later.

When? I need it now.

I'm in a rush, sir.

Please stamp it now.

I don't have my seal with me.

Set up an appointment first, and I'll stamp it for you.

I don't have time for that when I'm about to be expelled.

Take it.

What is it? Do you need something else?

- Professor Cho. - Yes?

You know that I wasn't in on it alone. Right?

I mean, I'll admit that I organized the cheating ring,

I'm just helping someone out.

Who are you helping?

Did you get a girlfriend?

How would I get a girlfriend?

I don't have one.

All right.

I get it can be frustrating, but hang in there.

If this catering job goes well,

I'll open up another restaurant for you.

All right? Auntie, I'll get going.

See you.

Take your dad to see a doctor when you're free.

He has frequent stomachaches.

His name is Park Minwoo.

I don't have anything else. I swear.

Why did he run anyway all of a sudden?

We can't get his text messages. Right?

Do you mean his mobile messenger records?

Yes.

We'd need his phone to do that.

Or a warrant.

How about we do this instead?

Why don't we go looking for him from the point where his phone died?
