How dare you!
You bastard! Come here!
Let go! Let go of me!
What the…
Let go! Listen, you bastard!
I'm going to remember all of you and
put you all in prison with my own hands! Get it?
What are you doing? Take him out!
And he reacts like that to immature kids being a bit naughty.
It'd be good to get some money, at least.
Ah! Oh, our dear accountant.
You must've been startled.
Hey, Min-joo.
Kyung-min, where are you?
Are you still at work?
I just got out.
Are you going to the office?
I'm going to go straight home today.
- Okay, then. Have a safe trip home. - Okay.
I cooked something delicious.
Okay, see you at home.
Mr. Park Sung-jin.
I'm Hwang Kyung-min, an accountant in charge of
external auditing of Dongwoo Shipbuilding.
What is this?
Director Park has been stealing millions of dollars
from the company for the past five years.
And this is the evidence related to that.
Why are you giving me this?
Park Tae-hoo, Director Park's son who led the bullying and abuse
on your niece.
If he just takes some lessons in a juvenile hall for a few months,
he'll go back to his family like nothing happened.
That evidence would be enough
to confine Director Park.
Who are you?
I, too, am a bully victim, just like Ji-yeon.
I will pay for all of Ji-yeon's medical bills.
What do you want from me?
I want revenge.
This guy is a five-time ex-convict of sex crimes on minors.
He just got released,
but he broke his ankle monitor
and he was wandering around a school,
so I caught him.
He's a piece of garbage who may do more horrible things
if we just let him be.
Don't depend on medicine.
If you depend on medicine, then you will go back to
your old self from 20 years ago.
Back to your weaker self.
But without medicine…
You must turn evil.
In order for us pigs to live without being tormented by dogs…
We must turn into monsters.
If you fail to do it now,
you will not be able to have any revenge.
Then I'll make it something that never happened.
Not long ago, the family of his victim
committed suicide.
Bastards.
You bastards!
Die!
Die! Die! Die!
Die, you bastard!
Was Hwang Kyung-min's withdrawal from school
and Jung Jong-seok's transfer
right after Chul's suicide?
Yes, I… I think so.
Then do you know the reason for Chul's suicide, too?
I don't know that much…
They… they said it may have been because of bullying issues,
or because of his family's situation…
I see.
Was Chul a hero to
Hwang Kyung-min and Jung Jong-seok?
I, I'm sure he was. Uh…
Every time they were in trouble,
Chul always helped them.
What did Chul want to do
when he was still alive?
That question is too difficult…
Ah, you should ask that to
someone who knows Chul the best…
Okay, I see.
Thank you for today.
Please call me whenever you
remember something about Chul.
Ah, okay.
- Goodbye. - Ah, okay.
What Chul couldn't do…
And Hwang Kyung-min is doing that in his place…
Officer Jin, it's me. Find someone for me.
I'm so scared.
We're sorry. Jong-seok.
Jong-seok, we're sorry.
Chul. Chul, Chul. Chul, Chul, I'm sorry.
Chul, we're so sorry.
Chul, we're sorry.
Chul, we're sorry. Please forgive us. We're sorry.
Lee Gi-won, you saw this cube in a yacht, right?
Whose cube is this?
God, our Father.
God, our Father. I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Lee Gi-won!
Wake up!
Whose cube is this!
The cube…
that…
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Chul, we're sorry.
We're sorry, please forgive us.
Ah, we're sorry.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
God, our Father, we're sorry, please forgive us.
We're sorry, please forgive us.
We're sorry.
He's alive, but he can't live his life now.
Did you find anything about Park Sung-jin?
Ah, not yet.
Park Sung-jin has an unexpectedly clean record.
Hwang Kyung-min paid for
one year worth of Park Sung-jin's niece's medical bills.
This relationship is extremely close.
I'm sure there's something more.
We must find it within 48 hours.
Yes, I'll look for some more.
Did you check the route?
You're here.
Are you sure it wasn't on the CCTV?
What have you been doing all this time?
You didn't do your job! Seriously…
He's been taken to ER.
- What? - He's taken to ER.
Ha... this is driving me nuts.
And he was praying to God, too. It was weird.
What about the call log?
Why? Are you looking for something?
Uh, have you guys seen my USB?
We haven't.
Is something important in it?
No.
Maybe you put it somewhere else.
- I'm going to the car for a moment. - Okay.
Yes.
You want us to wait?
Oh.
Is that the one?
It looks like Lieutenant Kang borrowed it for a moment.
Yeah.
Please check your e-mail.
Yeah, I'll send it now. Let's talk on the phone later.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
Damn it, they don't do their job!
Lee Ji-yeon, Park Sung-jin's niece…
Park Kyung-seon. Age 56. Place of Residence, Susi-dong, Incheon.
Hey.
Oh, Senior.
I was going to tell you.
While I was chasing Hwang Kyung-min,
he suddenly brought out the bullying to me.
Soon, my memories of abuse came back to me, and I was distracted…
Still, I got my gun back, so…
Jong-seok, you…
you developed a bad habit.
What?
You tell everything like a confession
only when you get caught.
Jong-seok, let me ask you one more time.
Didn't you have another close friend,
aside from Hwang Kyung-min?
No, I didn't.
Okay, I see.
Even when times change, bullying just never goes away.
Why? What is it?
Ah! I was reading a news article on Lee Ji-yeon,
Park Sung-jin's niece,
and the bullies made her play games all night long
with their accounts.
And Park Sung-jin must've loved his niece very much,
and gave her allowance quite often, too.
Why does that article contain so many details like that?
Ah! Most of them are just news in briefs,
but only this journalist did an exclusive cover of it.
The article is very detailed.
Let's see… The article is from Dongjin Daily.
The jornalist is Kim Jong-bin.
What's the journalist's name again?
Kim Jong-bin.
Let me see.
The supporter…
Greetings, my fellow juniors in 8th grade.
I'm Kim Jong-bin, a 9th grader, and a candidate
for student council president.
Student Council President Kim Jong-bin.
Is it someone you know.
Are you leaving?
- We should hurry and go, too. - Yeah.
Stand straight!
You damn bastards.
You're supposed to do it right!
You crazy bastards!
Kang Min! You should do things right! Damn it.
You damn bastards! Seriously.
Are you going to keep embarrassing me?
I'm sorry.
How can the four of you fail
to control that bastard Chul?
And Chul got suspended this time…
You bastard! Are you proud? You damn loser!
The word has spread to all 9th graders already.
It's been told that we begged the grown-ups for help,
because we're not capable of fixing it for ourselves!
Are you going to keep tarnishing my reputation?
- I found him! - Huh? Who?
Hwang Kyung-min's next target.
Man-jae, you call the station in charge and request them
to protect Journalist Kim Jong-bin! Now!
Yes, sir.
- Bye. - Yeah.
Listeners, do you remember Dogpark?
He's a vicious criminal who instigated contract assault
on Dark Web by using illegal videos as bait.
The police are still looking for clues to…
Greetings, everyone.
You drank too much. Finish that and go home.
So I can go home early today, too.
Hi.
Who are you?
Are you Kim Chul's mother?
Thank you.
It's been 20 years since my son died,
and what do you need to hear about…
that made you come to this place…
Ms. Park, didn't Chul have two close friends?
Friends?
I told you, if you just stay quiet in school,
your dad will make money and come back,
but you never listen to me, not even once.
Oh, why me…
You get suspended like it's your routine.
It's been eight years since Dad left the house.
If he was coming back, he should've already been back.
What are you saying? Why do you think
I'm putting up with this hard, crappy life!
Your dad will come back!
He'll make money and come back!
So, Chul, once your suspension is lifted,
don't cause any more troubles,
just quietly go to school and graduate.
If you do, your dad will come back!
Then I will send you to college,
and help you get married to a beautiful bride, too! Okay?
Oh, I'm sure that's what's going to happen.
What?
Look at yourself before you say that.
How can you say that to me, your mother?
Huh? I'm living my life because of you!
Then are you saying that it's all my fault?
Will everything be okay if I an gone, then?
You little bastard!
Chul! Kim Chul!
- Chul! - Hey!
Jong-seok!
Is this the place?
No?
I'm sure it is.
This is the address written on his student record.
Oh, really?
Hey! Why would you bring a bag of medicine to a friend's house?
I heard Chul
got beaten up by Kang Min's dad.
He was just trying to help us,
but only Chul got suspended.
Hey, but you brought apples.
Who are you boys? Why are you looking for Chul?
Then who are you, ma'am?
I'm Chul's mom!
Oh, I see!
- Hi. - Hi.
Hey! What are you doing there? Your friends are here.
- Chul! - Chul!
Ugh, him and his temper!
Go inside.
Okay.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- That was the first time when… - Go inside.
When I saw Chul's friends.
Because he never had any friends before…
So,
I can still remember them.
Are they the ones?
Ah! I'm sorry. I'll show you a different picture.
Just a moment.
It was them.
Which one is Chul?
Ms. Park, what is this?
The police gave it to me after Chul died.
They said they found it at the deserted house he went often.
This is…
It's Chul's will.
What did Chul want to do when he was alive?
Why would a police officer be curious about that?
It says right there, that he wanted to die.
Ms. Park, may I borrow
this picture, and this, please?
Are you going to give it back?
Yes, I promise I'll give it back.
That's the only picture of my son I have!
I couldn't even take his first birthday photo for him.
Even though he's a bastard who died before his parents did,
I must keep a picture of him at least.
Yes, I promise I'll give it back to you.
Hurry and take it. I have to go to bed now.
Ah, okay, thank you.
Ah, and by any chance…
if anything happens, please call me.
Journalist Kim Jong-bin.
Mr. Jung Jong-seok?
You really did come, just like Mr. Hwang Kyung-min said.
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Did you meet Hwang Kyung-min?
Yes! It was one year ago.
These are the materials I initially intergrated.
I will give you more detailed materials when I get them.
Okay.
Kim Jong-bin is currently a journalist
at Dongjin Daily's society section.
Yes, I know.
But…
I looked into him,
- and he is different from others. - How?
He wrote a lot of articles about school bullying,
and he's been sponsoring an organization that runs
a program related to this issue.
Do you still believe these garbages
after you were humiliated like that last time?
Then,
would you like to meet him in person?
Two days ago, Kim Jong-bin called me personally.
He said that he wants to interview me
about the incident of my niece Ji-yeon.
And I said I will meet him.
Hi, I'm Journalist Kim Jong-bin of Dongjin Daily,
the one who called you.
- Hi. This way, please. - Okay.
Ah! He is my cousin.
He's closer to Ji-yeon than I am, so I invited him.
Ah, I see. Hi.
Have a seat. I'll get you a cup of tea.
Thank you for the interview. I know it must've been hard.
May I record it, if you don't mind?
Go ahead.
Okay, let's begin.
I heard you even quit your job as a police officer
to look after your niece.
Yes. Sometimes I feel like giving up,
but when I hear Ji-yeon's hearbeat, I just can't.
I'm sure you really hate those bullies
who made Ji-yeon like that.
To be honest,
I want to kill them and their parents, too.
Because the punishment by the current law in Korea
is too light compared to their sins.
After this incident, I was so ashamed that
I thought catching the culprits would solve everything
for my past 30 years as a police officer.
Yes, I think so, too.
All I can do is to just use this pen,
but still, I will try my best
to let the world know about the pains of the victims
and the truths behind the incidents.
What is Ji-yeon's favorite thing?
Ji-yeon's favorite thing was to sing.
She dreamed of becoming a singer.
I won't cry!
That's just so heartbreaking.
Do you know what makes me
the angriest as the victim's family?
It's that neither those bullies nor their parents
sincerely apologized to us.
I do understand how you feel.
You liar.
You're lying right now.
You can never understand.
You're right. I cannot understand.
I just try my best to understand.
Plus, I was
a bully in school.
It was when I was in middle school and I was immature,
but what I did is unforgivable.
My wrong thoughts and behavior
tormented many students,
and even made one of them lose his life.
Do you remember what his name was?
Yes.
I have never forgotten his name, not even for once.
Kim Chul.
It was Kim Chul.
After that incident, I've been living my life
in regret and guilt.
If I can go back to that moment,
if I can stop that student's death,
I can even sell my soul to do so.
Kim Jong-bin,
you could've been killed by me until a moment ago.
What… what does that mean?
Because I hate you so much
I want to tear you into pieces.
Kim Jong-bin, the student council president
of Sinseok Middle School.
You were ruling over the bastards who bullied me.
Chul was our hero.
In that moment, you killed
not only Chul, but also all of us.
It's a relief that I got to meet you like this.
I know it's too late, but,
I apologize with a sincere heart.
What I did was horrible and despicable.
I'm sorry.
I won't beg for forgiveness.
I just wish to apologize.
I just wish to repent.
This is a written record of what you guys did to me 20 years ago.
One year later, write the things I have suffered into articles
and let the world know, just as they're written in here.
More than anything, write about why my friend Chul died
and how he died at that time, in the most detailed manner.
Ask Jung Jong-seok about that when he comes to see you.
If you do, you'll know.
Because he knows the best about the truth of Chul's death.
This is the only way for you to repent your sins.
Like Mr. Hwang Kyung-min said,
I finally got to meet you,
so, can you pleae tell me
the true reason why Chul died at that time?
I will make sure the whole world knows
about what you three suffered
and the truths that were hidden at the time.
Why would the world
be curious about that?
Why, when it's been 20 years already?
Why would they be curious about that?
No one's interested in those old, outdated stories.
And I apologize
to you with a sincere heart, too.
I am really sorry about what I did at that time.
It's too late!
Everyone, withdraw!
- Huh? - Why?
Damn it! Withdraw when I say so!
Sir!
Lieutenant!
It's me, Jong-seok. I heard you met Journalist Kim Jong-bin.
Kim Jong-bin is different from other bastards, isn't he?
Is that what you want?
Letting the world know about what we suffered?
Did you feel that unfair about it?
Do you think all victims turn into killers like you?
Tell everything to Journalist Kim Jong-bin.
Damn it, tell him what! What!
The truth of Chul's death.
You're the only one who can tell about how Chul died.
Why are you here?
We just wanted to see how you were doing.
Aren't you here because there's no one to fight for you guys
without me at school, and you’re scared?
That's not why.
We're sorry that you're the only one who got suspended, too.
You loser.
Jong-seok, if you whipped Kang Min with the belt,
they wouldn't have been able to harass you even when I am not there.
And you cowered in front of Kim Jong-bin just because
he's one year older than us.
You weak bastards.
This is a fight we can't win, anyway.
What?
Seriously…
Yeah, damn it, you're right.
Even if we crush those bastards,
Kim Jong-bin, the 9th grade ruling over them,
wouldn't let it slide.
And there are those teacher bastards above him.
And above them…
Damn it!
It means it's ultimately a fight between grown-ups.
But your dad is a fish seller,
your dad owns a bar,
and my dad left the house and he's out of reach.
And you guys saw
my mom earlier, right?
She works at a bar every night.
Like you said, Jong-seok, we can never win this fight.
Right?
I saw this on TV
that humans have lethal genes in the body.
So it means it's not weird at all for useless pigs like us
to make ourselves die by activating that lethal gene.
Damn it, it's all so bothersome,
so shall I just die on my own for them?
I promise I will give your son's picture back.
Hello?
It's me, Chul's mom.
Yes, Ms. Park, what is it?
That will is not Chul's.
What?
What does that mean…
You said Chul wrote it…
It's Chul's will, but it's not his.
It's not Chul's handwriting.
I'm such a worthless mother,
so I don't know what he wanted to do,
but I know what my son's handwriting is like.
This is not my son's handwriting.
I told the police at that time, too,
but no one listened to me.
I'm telling you because you seem like you'd listen to me.
That was not written by Chul.
Tell everything to Journalist Kim Jong-bin.
The truth of Chul's death.
You're the only one who can tell about how Chul died.
Ugh, why is this so difficult?
Are you done with your homework?
The book!
Ah, there will be a morning assembly in ten minutes.
All students must go outside
and assemble at the playground.
Those who are late have to run ten laps!
Doctor!
Oh! Lieutenant Kang.
Chul…
Chul tried to die on his own.
That's right.
Kyung-min knows nothing.
Hwang Kyung-min, that killer, is playing with you.
Right, Jong-seok?
You stay out of this…
Once you start talking to the hallucination,
then delusions become reality.
When that happens, it'll be very dangerous.
This is just visibly obvious.
How is it?
Identical!
Both handwritings belong to one person.
Which means, this will is fabricated.
It was written by
one of the three. Not by that boy named Chul.
Doctor, can you identify it
even if I bring the handwritings of adults?
Yes, but I need all three of them.
What are you doing?
What do you think you're doing!
