RECALL: TO CALL TO MIND, TO REMEMBER
EPISODE 5: RECALL
16.8!
Almost perfect!
Not quite, though.
Still, that's really good. I know you can do it.
You don't have to do that.
If you slip, you'll get hurt.
I told you, I don't get hurt.
But still.
But it's true. I fought 17 kids.
Yeah, still.
Aren't you curious at all why I got expelled?
Sure, yeah.
You haven't asked me.
I was worried it might be a bad memory.
When I was a kid, we moved all the time.
GOODBYE SEOUL METROPOLITAN CITY
COME AGAIN SOON, SEOUL METROPOLITAN CITY
My dad carted us around like we were... running from something.
We'd stay a year, never more than three.
Huisoo!
Get down! What are you doing up there? It's dangerous!
Come here. Let's go.
Oh, boy.
All right, let's get in.
We never settled down anywhere.
My dad was a day laborer.
He'd take any job he could. Didn't matter what it was.
We always moved around like we were being chased,
but my dad's top priority...
was always me.
Thanks. Take care.
One day, my dad finally decided to settle down, so I could go to college.
HIRING MINERS FOR TAESAN MINE
He managed to find himself a regular job as a miner.
And not long after that, I was a high school student,
who wouldn't have to transfer.
Dad, I'm already late.
See you later!
My dad bought a small house.
-Be careful, slow down! -Okay!
It cost him every penny he saved for ten years working as a day laborer,
all while raising me.
4,000 days of work.
140 DAYS UNTIL ENTRANCE EXAMS GET IT TOGETHER!
Probably thinks you're fucking ugly.
That's fucking ridiculous.
Early in the semester, a new girl transferred in.
She was really sweet and quiet.
You're not cute...
Apparently, she was the only daughter of a wealthy family.
The usual juvies got to her first.
This bitch is just ignoring us.
So, of course, she never had the chance to make any other friends.
These are the new ones, huh?
-Mm-hm. -Let me borrow them.
It'll be just for the day.
-Just for a little while. -I'll give them right back.
-Oh, my god. -Can I, huh?
Here we go again, y'all.
All right. Uh, here.
-And the charger? -Oh, wow, that's some
-next level stuff... -2: I seriously
-...for real. -...did not see that coming, guys.
Didn't you just want to use them for a little while?
Just forget it. Look, I don't think our Hyewon trusts you.
-No way, no way! Come on. -Hmm.
Ouch, that one really hurt.
No, you said that... you'd give them right back,
and I just thought--
Hyewon. That's really hurtful.
Aren't we friends? You're being so stingy about it.
Not like she's going anywhere.
I'm just going to stay right here.
That really fucking hurts.
-Look at her. -Hey, I mean...
What's your deal?
-Look, she's chickening out now. -Are you okay?
-Come on, what are you doing? -Go on. Give it up.
-I'm sorry. -Hey.
That's better, Hyewon.
-There we go! -Thank you!
Obviously, we all know she's getting bullied.
Took her long enough.
Why is no one doing anything?
-OMG, look at this. -Look at what?
-What's up with this hair? -What are you doing?
-Oh, yeah, try this. -That's freaking cute.
'Kay, thanks! Thank you!
Oh, my god, I can't with you!
TAESAN MINE
SAFETY TODAY! SAFETY TOMORROW! SAFETY FIRST
What?
Something... in your ear.
Really?
Ah.
Coal dust.
I take a shower, and it still falls out from somewhere.
My god.
I did shower, I swear.
I know.
I'm a bona fide miner now.
Oh, man.
How's your claustrophobia? Is it okay?
As soon as I started full time, I got completely cured.
Why are you in a good mood?
Why wouldn't I be? Does money grow on trees?
No, it does not. But you can dig it up!
So now, I can afford to get your favorite fried chicken. Hmm?
And we don't have to move, so I'm great.
Yeah, but...
How about a beer, huh?
I'm still a student, you know.
You only have one semester left, though.
I know, Dad.
Just gotta hold on a little longer.
"Hold on"?
Mm-hm.
130 DAYS UNTIL ENTRANCE EXAMS WE CAN DO IT!
Ya know, I aced that exam last week.
Wait a minute, are you top of our class?
Hell, yeah, I'm the Queen Bee.
-You did? How'd you manage that? -I don't believe it, no way.
It's freakin' nice.
This is pretty sweet. I bet it was super pricey.
-Really? How much is it? -Hmm...
Oh, come on, don't lie.
It's, like, 400 grand.
For real, I saw it in the mall. It's stupid expensive.
No way!
Whoa, you must have a lot of fucking money.
Give it to me.
Let me try it on for a little while.
-Little rich girl. -Come on.
Why won't this bitch do as she's told?
What the fuck's taking so long?
Take it off.
Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off!
You actually took it off.
-Unbelievable. -Oh, my god. What a loser.
For real, she's so lame.
-Hey, hey, someone take a photo. -Look at you, you're the best!
-It looks fucking good on you! -Wow!
-It actually looks kinda comfy. -Wait, lemme squeeze in.
Wait, right here. Look here!
-No one's even looking. -One, two, three.
If no one sees it... does that mean it didn't happen?
We'll take care of it. You can go.
The teachers said they'd take the appropriate measures right away.
We've received a report about some violence.
If anyone had their possessions stolen, or if you were bullied in any way,
please raise your hand.
They said, if you've been bullied, raise your hand.
Now, close your eyes.
Just raise your hand quietly, and I'll take care of everything.
Raise your hand. Come on.
That's all?
Really, no one?
She couldn't raise her hand.
If something like this ever happens again,
we'll form a disciplinary committee and take actions against you.
-Is that clear? -The teachers called in
all the kids
-they thought might be bullies. -Hey, Seo Yura.
-Just watch yourself. -And gave them a warning.
OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
Ah, fuck. Damn.
They said they'd take the appropriate measures.
But that was it.
Those weren't appropriate measures.
They were adequate measures.
It was just enough to give the appearance that they had addressed it.
Who was it?
What the hell did we ever do to you guys?
Which one of you ran your stupid mouth off to the teacher?
Tell us who spilled the beans, huh? Then we'll go on our way, huh?
Think I'm messing around? Answer me.
Now, why's my baby so pissed off, huh?
You're going to make them all cry.
Stay out of it, babe, okay?
The principal said he'd take disciplinary action
if another report came in about us.
He's already after me.
But I didn't do anything wrong.
Who was it?
Admit it. Face me, you coward, you little fucking bitch!
Hey, stop it.
You're overreacting, you can't do this in school.
What the hell? Are you the hall monitor?
Let go of the knife.
Let me go.
Ah.
Hey!
You piece of shit.
Who do you think you are? How dare you?
Wanna grab her wrist? Think you can just touch her hand?
You wanna die, motherfucker?
-Hey! Answer me, you son of a-- -Hey, babe, don't go overboard.
Baby, there's no such thing as overboard.
You gotta put assholes like him in their place right away.
Son of a bitch. Ooh, fuck, look at all the blood.
Making a mess.
Come here, come on. Relax.
Fucking relax! You're gonna get it.
You piece of shit.
Oh, just look at this bastard.
Hey, I'm gonna cut your wrist off. Let go.
Let go! Fuck me.
Would you stop making me repeat myself, dude?
Fucking hate you.
What are you fuckers staring at? Better study hard, you bitches.
Come on, let's go.
What?
You got beat up. Why didn't you tell the teachers?
Everyone else kept quiet.
They were okay with it.
It's my fault.
Our senior year's almost over, and I crossed the line.
I should've stayed quiet.
This happened because of that snitch.
You should keep quiet, too.
We're seniors.
It'll blow over.
Nothing else we can do anyway.
STOP
SELF-STUDY HALL 120 DAYS UNTIL ENTRANCE EXAMS
Hey, seniors, stop staring and study, will ya?
Hey, look at me again and I'll poke out your eyes.
Hey, Shin Hyewon.
Hey!
Do you understand anything I say to you, huh?
That's so hilarious.
You know if you wanna join our club, you're going to have to fork over a fee.
You gotta pay up!
Hey, bitch. Hello?
Hello?
-She's asleep. -Wake her ass up!
You're so freaking funny.
So your plan was just to stick it out,
since we go on break in a few days?
I'm sorry, please forgive me.
Go to Hell. We'll chase you all the way there.
Oh, no!
How pathetic is she?
-Please, I'm so sorry. -What did you say?
I did it, too.
When she was getting bullied, I looked away.
I did what I could, and I thought I did enough.
Trying to stay quiet for my dad?
That was a convenient excuse.
When the class president got beat up 'cause of me...
I couldn't even apologize.
He said everything I wanted to say.
I couldn't say it.
No, I...
I wasn't allowed to.
'Cause I'm a senior.
-Oh, my god. -Please, I'm sorry.
Oh, man. I'm all dirty, damn it.
Ew, that's fucking gross!
-What is that? Smells like ass. -I don't know.
Ew, nasty!
I'm a senior, so what?
Hey.
Outside.
-Who the hell is she? -Is she for real?
That's fucking hilarious.
Hey, hey, hey, there's gonna be a fight!
Look out!
Holy shit.
What are you gonna do about your face?
You bitch.
You bitch!
What... What are you?
What the hell are you?
I don't like that color.
Orange?
Why?
'Cause it's a cross between two colors that you have to mix together.
Because it's not red, nor is it yellow, either.
It isn't just one color or the other.
OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS JANG GYEONG HIGH SCHOOL
There was an investigation.
And I was expelled.
Again, I apologize.
Because I used violence,
and I did it on school grounds, no school would take me.
-I'm so sorry. -Fine, all right.
I'm so sorry.
Thank you, Mr. Jang, you may go now.
Yes. I'm very sorry.
Fortunately, one school accepted me as a transfer student.
It was a transfer in name only. I was basically expelled.
That was what the school board decided.
The fact that they even held an investigation...
was thanks to my dad.
Dad went to every single one of those girls' parents,
and paid a ton of settlement money,
and stopped them from pressing charges.
Everyone avoided me.
No one would come near me.
Huisoo.
Let's go.
They all just... kept their distance.
-Look. -Wait, she's leaving.
Dad said, "Let's go home," but we lost that, too.
He had to sell it to cover the hospital bills and settlement payouts.
We couldn't prove that both parties were at fault.
Because of what I did,
self-defense didn't apply, I wasn't hurt at all.
I messed up my dad's whole life.
Hey, Pop.
Did you know I was like this?
No, I didn't.
I guess I had a hunch,
but all this makes it pretty clear.
But why am I like this?
You take after me.
You can't sit quietly when something's wrong.
That's from your mother.
If your mom knew you took after me...
she'd be overjoyed.
Knowing she'd be pleased with that...
makes me truly happy.
Huisoo.
Come on. Let's eat.
Is it lunch already?
Time flies.
Oh.
Don't you think that orange can be red and yellow?
Isn't that exactly what makes it orange?
You know, it's not one or the other.
You don't have to choose one. It could be each color, yeah?
You see?
Okay, then, let's have lunch.
Mm. Oh!
FRESH CHICKEN
We're NIS.
Ugh.
Christ, shit.
What the hell's wrong with this guy?
Ugh, again with this shit, for fuck's sake.
What do you want?
Oh, uh, my credit card machine's here. I'm here to collect on the bill.
Do you even know what time it is? Seriously.
You're pissing me off, all right?
You think I'm not going to pay you, man?
What the fuck? Here, take my card.
You know, I wanted to ask yesterday.
What accent is that?
-What? Shit. The fuck? -Bro.
You from Gyeongsang?
I'm from Pohang and Guryongpo, dude.
You from Gyeongsang?
-I'm from Seoul. -Then why do you have that accent?
Why are you trying to act like you talk that way?
You really shouldn't do that.
Yes, sir.
If I see you running your mouth again, with that phony talk,
I'll put your lips in a vice.
I'm sorry.
Oh, that's just how we talk, I mean...
Seemed like you didn't know.
Of course.
Wanna put the cigarettes on the card, too? Yeah?
-Oh, yes, of course, yes. -All right.
-Including a 4,500-won transaction fee. -Right.
Uh, do you have a calculator?
Uh, no, I don't.
Sir, um, I've been meaning to ask you since you arrived.
Uh, but right here, these two round scars.
Damn, my man, this shit looks totally badass, bro.
So, uh, what are those?
Are they burns?
Gunshot wounds.
Gunshot wounds? Wow! Oh, man, that's so fucking dope.
How the hell'd you get those?
Uh...
Please check it over.
Yes. Goodbye.
That motherfucker added another zero at the end.
Son...
Drive safe, sir!
-Is it right? -Yes, of course, sir!
Goddamn, I'm fucking pissed. Shit.
-Move aside, please. -Clear a path, everyone.
Please stand back, coming through.

AGENT 1: NIS.
Go ahead. Right this way.
REPUBLIC OF KOREA MARINE CORPS
What are you thinking?
-What do you think memory is? -Um...
A while ago, I read this thing, it said,
"Memories are like electrical transmissions."
See, there's nerve cells called neurons in the brain,
and they receive electric impulses, right?
So that's... that's how they, uh...
they function.
Am I way off?
Where do you even hear stuff like that?
I've always been curious about it.
Why do you wanna know?
When I was four years old, my mom passed away in a car crash.
I was sitting right next to her.
I still have memories of that exact moment.
My mom looked right at me.
I don't remember what her face looked like.
And that's my only memory of her.
And I...
I wonder if she was crying.
I waited a full 30 minutes here! A half hour!
If you had even an ounce of respect,
you would at least leave a phone number on your car!
-Sir, please. Calm down. -For god's sake.
It's a shit parking job, too.
-Come on! Hey, hey, hey! -It's the NIS!
Hey, you think you're all that 'cause you're NIS?
I was a former Marine, you slick bastard!
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey!
Lucky someone had the good sense to call me.
Otherwise, all of you would've chickened out
and run away if I wasn't here!
FRESH CHICKEN
You got 63?
Two centimeters higher is a perfect score!
What?
Are you really gonna just sit there?
I do this just to get ready for entrance exams. I'll be here late.
I'll be here studying from now until you're done.
It's going to be a while.
-It's okay. I'm staying. -Why?
Just 'cause.
So you're here all night?
Yeah, so?
-Well, then, you're just hanging out. -No, I'm not.
Oh, yeah, come on.
You're here to make sure I don't get lonely.
-No, I'm not. -Thank you.
Uh, no... Huh?
We closed the case as a robbery, with the perp going after her valuables.
Within a half hour, we deleted all the pictures that were uploaded
to social media, preventing further exposure.
We got the bodies from the NFS,
and we'll process them immediately for the funeral.
Jincheon,
Bongpyeong,
and now, Naju.
It seems like they've sent a cleaner.
Yes, but they're all retired agents, why bother?
Back in the day, all our agents' top secret missions
were cleared in advance with the US.
To them, our agents are nothing more than living proof of the past.
So they're bent on getting rid of them.
Then shouldn't we be taking action in response?
Why?
To protect the retired agents.
Since the retirees know as much as they do,
that makes this mess a challenge.
However, as for the cleaner, we should find out...
what they know.
We'll look into it.
We have businesses that we toss aside, and businesses we invest in.
Get Chief Jo.
Should I reach out to the US adviser as well?
Not yet.
First, we need proof.
We need to find out who this cleaner is.
Yes.
The hair salon at the shopping center.
Yeah, the owner.
-Come on, let's go outside. -That's what I'm saying.
Yeah? Here.
Let's get some air.
Yeah, hurry.
I'll wait for you then.
Yeah.
THE LATE HONG SUNGHWA
In case you can't have spicy food.
Your name was in the guestbook. I looked, I don't recognize it.
How'd you know my mother?
Do you speak Korean?
A little.
You speak a little bit, then. You're an immigrant?
No, I'm not.
How do you know Korean?
Adopted.
Oh, oh! You were. Oh, of course. Uh...
Do you see them?
All of us were orphans till our mother took us in.
Well, our mother did have a daughter of her own,
but she never treated us differently at all.
We wore the same clothes, ate the same food,
went to the same school.
Always together.
Her daughter passed, she was in high school.
That happened over a decade ago.
I'm sorry, I'm talking too much.
I'm sorry.
Uh, thanks a lot for coming.
Oh, please help yourself.
Wait.
Was she a... good mother?
Yes.
Ah, yes, mm.
-Is the Deputy Chief in? -Yes.
Okay, so?
It's all right.
I'm not trying to fault you for anything.
Just tell me in detail one more time.
She was really like a monster?
Yes.
She was definitely injured.
Her skin was all torn up, she was cut,
she was in bad shape and...
right away, she healed herself.
She can't be human.
She's a monster.
Oh.
So you're...
certain that she's really a monster,
huh? Huh?
Section Chief Jo is here.
Come in.
Good afternoon. It's been a while, sir.
So what news do you have?
Yes.
Well, this year, we'll get some results.
It's already been a full ten years since you entrusted me
with this very sensitive business.
During that time, we've had numerous graduates from our school,
but none of their potential abilities came to fruition.
However, we believe this year, they're going to meet
-your expecta-- -Are you taking good care of the files?
Of course, sir, I am, yes.
You know that the NTDP has my full devotion.
Ah, yes. Good work.
I appreciate that.
Wipe that smile off your face.
Something's definitely afoot.
DEAD
Oh.
Of course.
Keep close tabs on the NTDP files,
you never know what can happen.
If they're leaked to the outside,
things'll get a lot more complicated for us.
Yes, of course, sir.
We'll have to find...
the right moment to destroy these.
We have to hurry.
NAME: JANG JUWON, CODE NAME: GURYONGPO
JEONGWON HIGH SCHOOL
-Huisoo. -Hmm?
You know how there was, like, Styrofoam on the ceiling of my house?
Yeah.
My mom put it there.
She put it up when I was little.
And if any of it would fall, she'd replace it right away.
It was there to protect me.
She won't take it down, even though I'm grown.
And it's funny, I just can't stop wondering why.
Huh?
Oh, I see, no wonder you were zoned out.
She would've laughed,
your mother.
Because of course she knew you wouldn't get hurt at all.
Huisoo?
If your mom knew you took after me... she'd be overjoyed.
Knowing she'd be pleased with that...
makes me truly happy.
Huisoo. Stay there.
Mom?
FRESH CHICKEN
At 11 o'clock last night, a robbery occurred at a hair salon
in Gangdong-gu shopping center.
Ms. Hong, the owner of the salon, was stabbed to death with a lethal weapon.
The authorities believe the suspect was after the victim's valuables
and are calling it a typical robbery.
Police will be reviewing the security footage
in an effort to identify the suspect.
Because the robbery took place in a concentrated commercial area,
police are collecting both CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts of the crime.
Unfortunately, with the upcoming holidays, robberies are on the rise,
but patrol units are ready to respond.
The police chief has a comprehensive plan to combat the holiday crime surge.
You know, I heard he's been dead for days already.
Why's he in the mortuary so late?
I heard the NFS did an investigation and they only just released the body.
-NFS? What for? -Suspicious electrical accident.
My god!
But still, even if that's true, why are there no visitors?
Quiet, he might hear you.
ILGANG FUNERAL HALL
Come on in.
Now, I've got some good news to give you all.
Another transfer student. So, please be nice to her, no fighting.
She specifically requested to be part of this class,
since obviously, I'm so popular here.
All right, all right, that's enough.
Okay. Say hello.
I'm Shin Hyewon.
