Original subtitles

Thank you.

(dreamy music)

-Are you... -(scoffs)

(scoffs)

What are you doing here? This place isn't for anybody...

EUNKANG: What? Is he a student here?

No, wait.

If he's Minyong's friend, he must be...

(gasps)

Excuse me, but are you my senior?

Damn it.

Wow. Hello.

How have you been?

It's funny we meet again here. (laughs)

What a small world.

I know. I'm surprised too.

Did you get home safely that night?

In one piece?

Well, thanks to you, my sister and I got home safe.

(Eunkang laughs awkwardly)

My. I just can't thank you enough.

I knew it. He's still holding a grudge.

Was the unpleasant issue resolved?

We sent him the bag. Have you heard anything about it, by any chance?

-So what? -Pardon?

Did you think sending it back would make him feel better?

(Seunghyun breathes heavily)

You don't get the point, do you?

The reason he mentioned the bag

wasn't because he wanted it back, but because he wanted her apology.

He wanted her to apologize for playing with his heart.

I'm sorry, what? Play with his heart?

My sister said she actually mourned for her relationship

with your friend after the breakup, though it was for a short while.

She started dating the other guy after that.

I'm saying she wasn't two-timing him.

I think we should make that clear...

(snickers, scoffs)

EUNKANG: What was that? That was so rude.

SUNYU: Ms. Ko Eunkang.

Yes. I'll be right there, ma'am.

Excuse me, but can we talk about this later?

I'm afraid I have to go now. Bye then.

Wait...

(scoffs)

(alarm clock ringing)

ROOKIE COPS

(theme music)

This is Ko Eunkang, your new roommate.

SUNYU: You should introduce yourselves.

Tell her about the basic rules in the dorm after lunch.

ALL: Yes, ma'am!

Hi.

(crockery clanging)

EUNKANG: I was so bummed out.

Then I was told I was given an extra place.

Gosh. It was crazy. (chuckling)

Man. I wish I got an extra place.

-It sounds so exciting. -Not for me. I hate the jitters.

So you came here right after the call yesterday?

Yes, I couldn't sleep a wink.

But I'm not even tired.

Now that I'm here, I can tell I belong here.

-Hmm. -Mm-hmm.

Good. Enjoy it while it lasts before you bawl your eyes out.

I hope this excitement lasts long.

Good luck.

-I'm done. -Oh, okay.

All right. See you later.

(indistinct chattering)

(crockery clanging)

ARI: That's not how you socialize.

When you're in a big group, you need to be kind and cooperative.

But she's neither.

She's such a wet blanket. She spoils the mood all the time.

She was like that even before you came.

Maybe she's busy.

No, she's not. We all have the same schedule.

I can't wait for this training to end. Because then I'll have new roommates.

Wait. They are going to change our roommates, right?

You never know. But there are only 12 girls.

There's a good chance she'll be your roomie again.

No way! I'm going to get her switched no matter what.

(rapid retreating footsteps)

(scoffs)

I'm Bang Heesun.

I majored in psychology and I'm teaching criminal psychology.

As you're not official students of KNPU yet

and this is an orientation,

today, I'm going to talk about the school and what you're going to be learning here.

(whispers) She certainly has charisma.

KOREAN NATIONAL POLICE UNIVERSITY INTRODUCTION

Does anyone know what this is?

It's the emblem of our school.

HEESUN: Good.

The bird on the hibiscus is a sea eagle.

What do you think it means?

The sea eagle symbolizes the police

and the hibiscus symbolizes the country and its people.

It's an image of the police protecting the people

and soaring to the sky, with the hibiscus in its claws.

(class murmuring)

Look at her, so desperate for attention.

Hey.

(clears throat)

(door closes)

(whispers) Who is he?

(scribbling)

THE CHIEF TRAINER HELL

For the next four years, you'll be studying

specialized theories and how to put them into practical use.

HEESUN: Including general studies like humanities, sociology,

and natural science,

starting the second year, you'll be learning about police science,

which includes subjects like law

and public administration, depending on your major.

Your goal is to learn the current security policies

and eventually, to develop creative policies.

All right.

That's it for today.

In the next class, I will tell you

about your career paths after graduation.

If you have any questions, write them down and ask me in the next class.

-Yes, ma'am. -Thank you.

-CLASS: Thank you. -(applause)

Gosh, that was so boring.

Aren't classes after lunch just horrible?

I'd rather run.

What are you writing? What is it? Show me.

-SUNYU: Everybody back to your seats! -ARI: Goodness.

(suspenseful music)

Those who were dozing off during class may stand up now.

How dare you doze off during class when your tuition is paid by taxes!

Don't you call yourself a KNPU student!

(thrilling music)

If you don't stand up yourself, you'll be in bigger trouble.

This is a warning.

Be honorable.

(sighs)

You. Why are you sitting?

Me? I wasn't dozing.

I saw you dozing.

Who is she? I haven't seen that face.

-She must have gotten an extra place. -EUNKANG: No, I wasn't.

I was pretty sleepy because I didn't get much sleep,

but I pinched my hand not to doze off. Look.

Hey. Do you think this is a joke?

No, that's not what I...

Stand up!

-I'm sorry, ma'am. -You'd better fly right.

-I'll be keeping my eyes on you. -Yes, ma'am.

Those who stood up will be given extra training.

Assemble at the lounge after classes. Understood?

STUDENTS: Yes, ma'am!

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

(hidden cam beeps)

-(thuds) -(grunts)

I'm sorry! (groans)

EUNKANG: I'm sorry!

I'm sorry!

-SUNYU: Can't hear you. -EUNKANG: I'm sorry!

DAEIL: I'm sorry! (grunts)

-EUNKANG: I'm sorry! -(Daeil breathes heavily)

-(loud thud) -(grunts)

I'm sorry!

(groans)

(metal clanks)

Everyone, stand up.

-You. -Yes, sir. Freshman Ko Eunkang, sir.

Do you know why you're getting this extra training?

Do you still not understand what you did wrong?

Honestly, no, sir.

(foreboding music)

I really wasn't dozing off.

I can't say I was when I wasn't.

Are you saying it's your senior's misunderstanding?

Yes, sir.

I apologize if I sounded rude earlier in the afternoon,

But I don't think...

I did anything to deserve a beating with a baseball bat.

Fine.

Let's say it was your senior's misunderstanding.

Still, you're getting the extra training.

May I ask why, sir?

Let me tell you why. Listen carefully.

HYUK: First, your actions were misleading.

Second, you responded to your senior's initial warning playfully.

Third,

you defied your senior.

-But... -You can't disobey your seniors' orders.

That's the rule in this school and fundamental of the police organization.

-Do you have a problem with that? -But...

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

-(running water stops) -(Eunkang sighs)

(sniffles)

(blowing nose)

(sniffles)

(sighs)

I'm not even allowed to say it's unfair?

Just hold it in.

Otherwise, you'll get on the wrong side of them.

They were harsher on you because you talked back at them.

JUYOUNG: She's right. "The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

Try not to stand out. Just say "Yes, sir",

"Sorry, sir", "I'll get it right, sir." That's all you have to say.

EUNKANG: It's not like I married into a Joseon-era family.

I can't just remain silent like that.

Then what, will you butt heads with them?

I can at least say what's not right is not right.

-I just don't get it. It's... -(door opens)

(water trickling)

(objects clattering)

Gosh!

DAEIL: I can't sleep because I'm so hungry.

I can't go to the canteen or outside.

Like this is going to make me a patient person.

I want to have instant noodles.

I want jjajangmyeon.

I want a burger.

I want some fried chicken.

Half spicy, half regular.

(all sighing)

I know where instant noodles are.

(door opens)

(door creaks)

Do you see the pantry room over there?

TASTY NOODLE

(woman singing faintly)

BUMJU: I was walking by the pantry this afternoon,

and I saw cup noodles inside.

I think it's for the staff here.

So you want to steal them?

-I guess we shouldn't. -We shouldn't.

Stealing is not right.

Unless we leave a note.

(tense music)

(door opens)

(footsteps approaching)

(whispering) Hey, come. Hurry.

(all breathe heavily)

(Daeil sighs) Maybe next time.

-Next time. -Yes. Next time.

Next time.

(all breathe heavily)

MALE TRAINER 1: Yell out for five seconds!

(students yelling)

SEUNGHYUN: Morning roll call report!

Total 100 in all. No injuries.

No absentees.

Currently 100 present. No issues. Salute!

Recite the honor pledge!

STUDENTS: I affirm that I will be an honest

and honorable KNPU student

who will not give in to injustice.

MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR: All students of this school

are required to practice kendo, hapkido, taekwondo, or judo.

Today, you're taking your first judo lesson.

I'm going to show you some of the practical moves

that could come in handy in real-life situations.

(upbeat rhythmic music)

(sighs)

First, shoulder throw, which is the most basic skill.

SHOULDER THROW

KNPU

First, grab your opponent by the lapel like this.

Then knock him off balance and at the same time...

-(loud thud) -(class murmuring)

(grunts)

You can sit down.

Judo is a sport that requires physical strength, but there's more to it.

You can easily overpower your opponent even if he or she is bigger than you.

(exhales)

When your opponent has a big build like him, it'll be hard to approach him.

In that case,

penetrate the opponent's space and gently turn around.

(grunting)

(gasping)

(grunts)

(sighs)

All right. Sometimes, your opponents are quite athletic.

In that case...

(groans)

(class murmuring)

(both grunting)

Bend over and kick your opponent's leg and press him with all your might.

(screams)

(class murmuring)

(both grunting)

(both panting)

(class laughing)

(whimpering)

(tapping)

-(both panting) -(class murmuring)

(class laughing)

(instructor clears throat)

(girls giggling)

-I was going easy on him. -(laughs)

Hey.

MEN'S CHANGING ROOM

You almost got me.

Is it fun lying to others?

Why would you tell such an obvious lie?

Lie?

I didn't lie.

Gosh! When I asked you if you were my senior,

you said yes in the corridor yesterday.

I've never said that.

You're the one who convinced yourself to believe that.

-I convinced myself? -Yes. You did.

Excuse me, but are you my senior?

You didn't actually say you were my senior,

but you didn't deny it either. And that's a yes.

I was so flustered I didn't know what to say.

Wow! You didn't know what to say?

What a great excuse!

You should join Mensa for having such a quick wit.

You lie like a rug. Let me see your rug.

You know what?

SEUNGHYUN: If this is because you're embarrassed by your own stupidity,

it's okay. I already forgot about it.

What?

Hey.

Wait. Stop. Are you avoiding me now?

Gosh!

-He's a hero? -Yes.

"Please stop. How can she say yes under this pressure?"

He was so cool.

Wow. He's acting like a different person here.

Don't let him fool you. He's actually calculative and petty.

He's one of those who want

all the presents they gave to their girlfriends back after breaking up.

No! Really?

Yes.

But how do you know that? Do you know each other?

No, we don't. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

I just wanted you to know that he's not the kind of guy you think he is.

(sighs)

I see. I thought he was the cutest here.

Come on. Wasn't that other boy kind of cute?

Was he Kim Tak? The one who came through special admission for athletes.

He's got such broad shoulders. He looks so strong.

(grumbles) He's not my type.

He kind of looks dumb.

(water running)

What about you?

I'm not interested.

We're not allowed to date other students anyway.

(locker door slams)

ARI: It was just a hypothetical question.

She's so annoying.

JUYOUNG: Come on. Leave her alone.

At least she's honest.

I don't care!

(whoops)

(clears throat)

I heard you were an athlete. What did you do? Soccer? Judo? Wrestling?

Judo.

Aha.

I did some sports too when I was little.

(shouting loudly imitates punching)

I wanted to become a short-track skater when I was in elementary school.

(exhales sharply)

DAEIL: All right.

From now on, you're on Team Yoo.

Team Yoo.

I'll help you grow. You can count on me.

(quirky music)

But I'm bigger than you.

Huh?

(Daeil sighs)

Hey, your body build isn't everything.

Brain. You need to have a smart brain. My brain with your...

body.

We'll be invincible.

Let's be good friends.

Hey.

You'd better watch out.

Hey! Watch out for what?

-That burns! -Oh, no. I'm sorry.

DAEIL: It burns!

BUMJU: Water!

(Daeil screaming) Stop! It's cold!

(yelping) It's cold!

Cold! It's so cold!

-DAEIL: It's cold! -(laughing)

By the way, are we not allowed to date other students?

Right. I heard it's like an unspoken rule.

I heard the student council would give you a warning if you hang out with a boy.

Because it distracts the students from their studies.

That's so mean. They don't even let us date?

I actually think it's a great rule.

What if they break up? It's going to be so awkward.

It's a small school. No way.

(indistinct chattering)

Do you have a boyfriend here?

What? No.

-Yes, you do. -No. Not yet.

"Not yet"?

(Ari breathes deeply)

-Who is it? -No.

Is he our senior? Which year? Come on. Just tell me.

I don't.

Yes, you do.

(chomps)

(dreamy music)

I'll get going. I'll see you around.

-Are you already finished? -EUNKANG: Yes.

(sighs)

I never got to tell him I got accepted.

Where did she go? She didn't even take her jacket.

-All right. See you around. -TAK: Bye.

(Ari grunts)

-SEUNGHYUN: Sorry. -ARI: It's okay.

(object clatters)

Is it Eunkang's?

(suspenseful music)

Which one is mine?

HYUK: Left, face.

Forward, march.

Left, left, left, left,

left, left.

Left flank, march.

STUDENTS: One, two.

SUNYU: Keep the formation!

MALE TRAINER 1: Synchronize!

HYUK: Left, left, left.

To the rear, march.

STUDENTS: One, two. three.

MALE TRAINER 1: Mind the person next to you!

HYUK: Change step, march.

STUDENTS: One, two.

HYUK: Left, left.

SUNYU: Keep your distance!

MALE TRAINER 2: Focus!

(Yugon on computer) It shows that the perpetrator was

continuously stabbing the victim while chasing him.

(chomping)

Using logical reasoning,

this is presumed to be a premeditated crime motivated by grudges.

However, there's still a question unsolved.

The crime was committed in a busy subway station

on a holiday afternoon.

How could the culprit be so bold?

(keyboard clacks)

That was nice. (sniffs)

I sure have increased the show's ratings. (chomping)

Let's see how high it was.

YUGON (in singsong voice): Let's have a look-see.

SARANG RATINGS, SEARCH

(keyboard clacking)

CONGRESSMAN SEO KICHUL

CONGRESSMAN SEO KICHUL PROPOSES BILL TO ABOLISH KNPU

YUGON: Have you seen the newspaper? (sips)

Of course I have. It's the eighth most trending topic now.

(students shouting in distance)

Gosh, my head hurts.

SOONYOUNG: I took some headache pills on an empty stomach

and now I feel queasy.

Why is he doing this to us?

What have we done to him?

There are many reasons.

He thinks it's absurd

that recent graduates lead the cops because they lack practical experience.

That's the same with the prosecution.

Those young prosecutors are still wet behind the ears,

yet they boss around the older cops.

Let's be honest.

It's because the constables have issues with getting promoted, right?

-(shouting in distance) -(whistle blows faintly)

(gasps, chuckles)

It's okay.

I'm not from this school,

but I'm a KNPU person now.

What do you think, Professor Cha?

(breathes deeply)

Well, they always bring this up every now and then.

No, but it seems a little more serious this time.

-They're even holding a hearing about it. -Then...

the school might actually get abolished this time.

Professor Cha.

Well, to be honest,

over 40% of police executives are KNPU graduates.

Of course, the rest feel excluded.

That's what causes continuous internal conflict.

What are you talking about?

You don't just become an executive officer.

You need to get the training and pass the promotion exam.

How could you trivialize

your seniors' and juniors' efforts when you're a KNPU graduate yourself?

I'm not trivializing anything.

-That's how it looks to outsiders... -Stop it.

You're not here to have a fight.

I called you in to tell you to make sure

to take extra care of the students since it seems serious.

Professor Cha will be in charge of freshmen this year.

And Professor Bang, you're the guidance counselor.

You know what will happen if students cause trouble at this point.

It will only help the abolitionist.

Fall into four rows!

-BUMJU: Mark. One! -Two!

-Three! -Four! End of order!

-JUYOUNG: Fall in. -TAK: Fall in.

Fall in!

(screaming) Come out!

-TAK: Run. -MALE TRAINER 1: One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

One, two, three, four.

-HYUK: You disappointed me greatly. -MALE TRAINER 1: One, two, three, four.

-You're not improving at all. -MALE TRAINER 1: One, two.

HYUK: You think this place is a joke?

STUDENTS: Sorry, sir!

Get up.

(grunting)

-HYUK: Get down. -(sighs)

-HYUK: Get up. -(Daeil grunts)

Do burpees until your colleagues finish running.

STUDENTS: Yes, sir!

STUDENTS: One.

Two.

STUDENTS: Three.

STUDENTS: Four.

STUDENTS: Five.

STUDENTS: Six.

(suspenseful music)

STUDENTS: Eight.

STUDENTS: Nine.

STUDENTS: Ten.

STUDENTS: Eleven.

STUDENTS: Twelve.

STUDENTS: Thirteen.

STUDENTS: Fourteen.

STUDENTS: Fifteen.

STUDENTS: Sixteen.

STUDENTS: Seventeen.

STUDENTS: Eighteen.

You. Stop.

STUDENTS: Nineteen.

Can't you hear me?!

STUDENTS: Twenty.

-Twenty-one. -Is this yours?

Well...

-STUDENTS: Twenty-two. -Answer me.

Yes, sir. Freshman Ko Eunkang, sir.

Starting now, you're out of the training.

Yes...

-Pardon? -Wait in your room until there's an order.

What?

This is...

Why did you film this in secret?

I didn't film it.

Will you keep denying it?

I, your senior, saw it fall out of your jacket!

I don't know either why it was in my jacket.

If you don't come clean about it, as the chief trainer,

I'll tell the authorities that we should consider canceling your admission,

-as you have disgraced the school's name. -What?

Student Life Act, Section four, article 45.

"The school's education and facilities are supposed to be kept confidential.

Disclosure of the information

or possession and distribution of any documents, photos, or videos

that may damage others' honor and dignity

can be a good reason for the cancellation of admission."

I really didn't do it. Please believe me.

A student disciplinary committee will be set up soon.

Save your breath until then.

HYUK: You'll stay in the detention room until told otherwise.

(somber music)

(sighs)

(Yangchul humming)

-(phone ringing) -(humming continues)

Yes.

Hi, Uncle. How are you feeling?

Oh, right. Have I told you

that Eunkang got into the school?

You know, KNPU. (chuckles)

Korean National Police University! (laughs)

When she graduates from school, she'll be a lieutenant right away.

A lieutenant is as high as a chief constable.

Oh, come on. Not that high.

Why won't he pick up the phone? Come on!

Geez.

Hey, Uncle. It's me, Yangchul.

Your nephew living in Seoul.

Anyway, I feel so safe now to have a cop in the family.

Actually, if you ever have to go to a police station, call me.

Don't hesitate to ask. (laughs)

And please say hi to Aunt.

Okay. No need to come.

Bye.

(laughing)

Why would you say something like that?

What if he actually calls you?

I'm just trying to be nice. Don't worry.

You know my uncle.

He's never visited Korea ever since he moved abroad.

Because he didn't want to spend money on airfare. Don't you worry.

YANGCHUL: Uncle, check.

Hey, did you call your friend too?

My friend?

You know, your friend from elementary school

who lives in Hannam-dong and always drives foreign cars.

(yelps) You mean Miran.

-I can't call her. -Why not?

(laughing)

What is it? (chuckles)

(laughing)

What is so funny?

You know, her daughter was preparing

-for the college entrance exam again. -Yes.

-I heard she wasn't accepted. -Again?

Yes, and I heard Miran totally lost her mind and is in misery

because she practically poured money into her daughter's tuition.

She always said kids need expensive private tutors.

(scoffs) We never got our daughter any tutor,

but she got in anyway.

(Yangchul scribbling)

That proves money isn't everything.

(both chuckle)

Look at you, all excited.

Hang on.

Let me see.

Are you so happy to hear that Miran is in misery?

Are you?

No, I'm not!

-Stop it! -(both laughing)

But why was that in here?

Gosh! I just can't believe this!

Hey, did you hear?

Eunkang secretly filmed us getting training and punishment.

I think it's serious. I heard she'd be expelled.

ARI: Is it Eunkang's?

Which one is mine?

(clicks tongue)

Oh, well.

That was a spy cam?

(sighs)

Whatever. It's not mine.

It's not mine, so it must be hers.

(exhales sharply)

(quirky music)

(door opens)

(moaning)

I love this.

-(slurps) -(swallows)

(sighs)

The salt is invigorating all my cells. Right?

DAEIL: This is why salt is essential.

Even Napoleon told his subordinates to bring salt before they had a battle.

Stop that and give it.

TAK: Leave some.

I know you're going to finish it all.

(blows, slurps)

(slurps, munching)

(exhales)

Did you leave a note?

Of course.

TASTY NOODLE

BUMJU: Let us borrow some of your noodles.

We're just like Jean Valjean,

the man who stole bread out of hunger.

We promise to give you the money when the training period is over.

SEUNGHYUN: I wonder why the guy on night duty wasn't there today.

DAEIL: I think he went to a meeting.

At this time?

Well, it's an emergency. They're probably having an emergency meeting.

(slurping)

Do you think Ko Eunkang will be expelled?

Of course. They'll definitely punish her.

-But isn't it a bit too much to expel her? -BUMJU: I know.

DAEIL: You guys really have no idea what this means.

This is actually a serious matter.

If the video of us getting punished and harassed spreads on the internet,

in the worst case, the dean can get fired.

I don't think that was her intention.

She was trying to screw over the chief trainer.

Anyway, it's only a matter of time until she's expelled.

She's in the detention room now, so be careful.

-We're not allowed to talk to her. -Why?

Did you doze off at the orientation?

According to school regulations, we can't talk to students

who are being punished.

-But did she really do it? -(Daeil slurping)

Of course!

They found the evidence on the spot.

TAK: Hey, that's enough for you.

Hey, stop eating. Leave some for me.

MALE STUDENT 1: That's Ko Eunkang.

(students clamoring)

MALE STUDENT 2: Eunkang?

How does she even have an appetite?

DAEIL: She's one tough cookie. Right?

What did you eat?

I don't know. My stomach hurts.

-Again? -Hey, I've got to go.

-Hey. -EUNKANG: Ari.

Ari.

Sorry. I know you're not allowed to talk to me right now,

-but I have a question for you. -What is it?

I'm looking for the person who took the video, but I'm lost.

As I remember, I took off my jacket exactly twice yesterday.

At the martial arts class and in the cafeteria.

And?

And you took my jacket when you left the cafeteria.

-Did you... -Hey, are you suspecting me?

No. I'm just wondering if you saw anyone touch my jacket.

I don't know. I didn't see anyone.

Please try to remember. This is very important to me.

I don't know.

You left your jacket, so I brought it to you. That's all.

(door opens)

-(sighs) -(door closes)

(suspenseful music)

OFFICE PANTRY

YUGON: She denies it?

Yes, sir.

Did you check the security cameras?

The cameras on the first and second floor in the dorm are taken way

for the time being because of the waterproofing repairs.

So you couldn't check the cameras.

-No, sir. -Then how are you so sure

that Ms. Ko Eunkang did it?

First of all, she was the one carrying the evidence.

The video clip was filmed after Ms. Ko entered the school.

Nothing was filmed before that.

(sighs)

(breathes deeply)

We can't cancel the admission just because she could have done it.

Just like we can't arrest someone for having a weapon in his or her jacket.

Plus, you said she denies it.

But she's been showing a bad attitude throughout the training too.

This is a serious issue, so we've got to be discreet.

Make sure this doesn't get out.

Have you reported this to Professor Bang?

-Not yet. -YUGON: I'll do it.

We need to set up a student disciplinary committee anyway.

-Yes, sir. -You can go now.

(door opens)

-(breathes deeply) -(door closes)

(Yugon exhales sharply)

While the security cameras are taken away...

(breathes)

It means this person knows well about what's going on here.

NAMGI: The Gangneung Poseo-dong Case is a case

where a perverted man broke into over 40 empty apartments

where single women lived

and stole their money, valuables, and lingerie.

The culprit has been arrested.

A special fluorescent material was used to solve this case,

which is not visible to the naked eye.

You apply it to the places where the criminal is likely to touch

as he or she enters the house.

Then, under a UV light,

-as you can see, it appears like this. -(class murmuring)

This material was developed in the UK, but now it's produced in Korea too.

So it's easy to purchase online.

Next, luminol.

It's used to detect bloodstains.

It reacts to oxidants or metals...

It was so upsetting.

I wish I could take lectures like this every day.

(sighs) I wish we have special lectures every day.

Today's lecture was really interesting. Wasn't it?

What? Right.

Shin Ari.

Can I talk to you for a second?

(mouthing) Me?

I'll see you around.

ARI: What is it?

Do you want me to say it or do you?

I saw you in front of the cafeteria that day.

SEUNGHYUN: All right. See you around.

Sorry.

(object clatters)

(Ari grunts)

Is it Eunkang's?

I'm not sure what you're talking about? What did you see?

You know what I mean.

Is that it? Then I'll get going.

I gave you a chance.

A chance to be honest. And you blew it.

Ari!

I'm so happy for you. What did he say? Did he ask you out?

Get off me.

JUYOUNG: What's wrong with her?

MALE TRAINERS: One, two, three, four.

MALE TRAINERS: One.

MALE TRAINERS: Two.

MALE TRAINERS: Three.

MALE TRAINERS: Four.

MALE TRAINERS: One, two, three, four.

MALE TRAINERS: One, two, three, four.

(whistle blowing)

(suspenseful music)

MALE TRAINER 1: One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

One.

Two.

Three.

(suspenseful music continues)

(crockery clanking)

EUNKANG: Cafeteria, gym, cafeteria, restroom.

Dormitory, schoolyard.

(sighs)

(breathes deeply)

It has to be here.

(exhales) I should ask Ari again.

(gasps) Goodness.

Did Wi Seunghyun tell you anything?

Wi Seunghyun? Tell me what?

Ah...

Well...

I did it.

The spy cam.

I put it in your jacket.

-What? -ARI: I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was a spy cam.

-I thought it fell out of your jacket. -Hey!

Why are you saying this now? Because of you, I'm...

(sighs)

I'm about to be expelled.

But it's not mine either. Believe me.

-Let's go. -Where?

The training corp's office, of course.

No.

Eunkang, I'll help you find who did it.

So please don't tell them about me.

If we find who did it, it will be all right.

-What? -Once this gets out,

I won't be able to study here. (sobbing)

Whatever. That's none of my business.

I have to clear my name.

Eunkang.

(sentimental music)

(sighs)

ARI: But it's not mine either. Believe me.

I'm not a saint. This is not the time to worry about others.

(breathes deeply)

Once this gets out, I won't be able to study here.

(clears throat)

-How could you do that? -What?

I understand you don't like me,

but how could you not do anything when your colleague is being framed?

I can't lie just to clear your name.

I heard you saw Ari putting the spy cam in my jacket.

No, I didn't. I don't have super eyesight.

-How could I have seen it? -What?

Did you lie to Ari then?

I said I saw her putting something in the jacket,

but I never said it was a spy cam.

I guess she was feeling guilty.

(scoffs)

Are you happy now? I'll get going then.

Ari said it wasn't her.

She was just afraid she'd be accused of it.

She didn't film the video.

Which means it's done by someone else.

We need to find that person.

-Are you going to find that person? -Of course I should.

It's just not fair

that innocent Ari and I have to fight because of that person.

I just can't let that happen.

Great attitude. Good luck.

Are you just leaving like that?

Help me.

I can't do this alone. I'm in detention now,

so I'm not allowed to talk to the other kids.

I have to find this person before the disciplinary committee is set up.

Otherwise, I'll be expelled. (whimpering)

That's not your thing.

(clears throat)

I'm sorry, but you'll have to do it on your own.

I hate getting involved in others' business.

That's not true. You like it.

The girls said you were like a hero. You meddled with my sister's business too.

-I had no choice then. But now... -I am...

an innocent citizen.

Will you just sit back and watch an innocent citizen suffer like this?

(quirky music)

You shouldn't be like that.

If you want to be a cop, you should protect innocent citizens.

Could there be any better reason why you should help me?

(scoffs)

(zipper zips)

(both gasp)

(both grunting)

(breathes heavily)

(grunts)

(breathing heavily)

-TAK: Were you caught? -Gosh, we were almost caught.

-That's so many. -One for each of us.

What if they notice it?

Even if they do, they wouldn't know it's us.

(both laugh)

(knocks on door)

DAEIL: But there's no such thing as a perfect crime.

(knocks on door)

(knocking on door continues)

May I help...

(grunts)

All right.

My, you're one good-looking boy.

It was you, right? The ones who stole my cup noodles.

DAEIL: She was...

Mrs. Sherlock.

THREE DAYS BEFORE THE ARREST

One, two, three, four,

five, six...

Six...

Oh, boy.

LET US BORROW SOME OF YOUR NOODLES...

TWO DAYS BEFORE THE ARREST

(janitress exhales sharply)

DAEIL: She realized the cup noodles in the pantry room were disappearing,

so she started to observe people around the room.

♪ The person ♪

♪ In a yellow shirt... ♪

Is it her?

NAMGI: A special fluorescent material was used to solve this case,

which is not visible to the naked eye.

DAEIL: She got a special fluorescent material.

Then when it's under UV light,

and applied it on the cup noodles.

(door closes)

(suspenseful music)

(gasps)

(laughs)

I got you, you punks.

DAEIL: We stole the cup noodles, having no idea we fell into her trap.

-May I help... -DAEIL: And...

-she caught us red-handed. -JANITRESS: It was you, right?

JANITRESS: The ones who stole my cup noodles.

There will be a brief inspection.

Let me see your hands.

Good. I can see it very well.

My goodness.

You punks.

They say the sparrow near a school sings the primer.

I've been cleaning at this school for 30 years now. Okay?

I've been listening to these lectures of criminal investigation for years.

Now, get on your knees!

Move. Move!

Hands up. Come on.

-Hands... -That must hurt.

Go easy now. (chuckles)

EUNKANG: Ari said she found the spy cam in front of the cafeteria.

Which means it was already in the jacket.

(breathes deeply)

(suspenseful music)

Maybe it was planted in the cafeteria.

No, that's not it. Then Ari must have seen it.

Hmm...

We had a martial arts class in the morning, right?

It's not there.

We all put our jackets in the cabinets and locked them.

(metal clanking)

EUNKANG: And I put it on again right after the class.

Nobody would have been able to put anything in there.

-Maybe the jacket was switched. -What?

Maybe it wasn't that someone put it in your jacket

but your jacket had been switched.

Switched? When...

It was just a hypothetical question.

She's so annoying

EUNKANG: Right. If it wasn't Ari's...

Whose is it?

-What do I do now? -NAMGI: Don't worry.

There were no security cameras there, so no one would know it was you.

I might be in trouble.

(sighs)

Whatever, I don't know.

I was just doing as you said. Even if someone finds out, I'm not...

POLICE

Hey. Who's there?

I think I'm lost. I'm looking for the dorm.

The dorm is that way.

(chuckles)

Hurry and go.

It's time for roll call soon. You're not supposed to wander around here.

Yes, sir.

(ominous music)

(thrilling music)

EUNKANG: If Ari took the jacket because she thought it was hers,

it has to be someone who used the cabinet nearby.

I'm not interested.

We're not allowed to date other students anyway.

EUNKANG: The person who left the jacket right next to her was...

I'm done.

EUNKANG: Maybe she's busy.

No, she's not. We all have the same schedule.

(sighs)

PORTABLE FLASHLIGHT

(suspenseful music)

If the camera was rolling...

-Sorry, sir! -Sorry, sir!

THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER'S WEB

EUNKANG: There's got to be a charger somewhere.

Where did she put it?

(suspenseful tense music)

(object clatters)

(suspenseful tense music continues)

(music intensifies)

(doorknob clicks)

(door opens)

(closing theme music)
