Episode 8
Ta-da! What shall we eat?
Carrots?
Eggs.
Did you find Seo Yeon?
Yes. Lawyer Jo?
What is it?
I think you'll have to come here quickly.
Why? What's going on?
I made something to eat with Seo Yeon, but I think something's gone wrong. She's in a bad state.
When will Teacher Hyo Jin get here?
I'm sorry, Soo Bin.
Dad wants to be a good dad to you,
but I think I keep hurting you, Soo Bin.
I'm sorry.
♪ To our beloved Soo Bin ♪
Soo Bin, Daddy really really loves you.
Me too. I also love Daddy a lot.
Here. Happy birthday to our princess.
She's just like you when you were young.
- Really?- Yeah.
Mom.
Hmm?
I'll go to the bathroom for a little bit.
Okay.
Soo Bin, Happy birthday.
I love you. (From) Superman.
Did you invite Dad?
Yes.
Shouldn't you have told your mom, at least?
I felt like you would say no if I told you about it.
Rather than Mom, Grandpa would have been upset.
Soo Bin, you have been thoughtless today.
I'm sorry. But Dad didn't come, after all.
In any case, you must tell Mom about everything regarding Dad.
Understand?
Yes.
Does that make you so happy?
Dad didn't come. But he sent me a gift so that means he's thinking about me.
You came?
Are you all right?
Yes, I'm... But what about Seo Yeon?
She's asleep. It's fortunate that she got emergency care quickly.
Didn't I tell you that the food at the kindergarten was a problem?
I know, so I made sure to confirm the expiration dates and carefully selected what I thought looked safe.
But I think that the eggs in the refrigerator were the problem.
Miss Ae Ra said that the food that could be used as evidence was already taken away.
Just because she's a kindergarten director, we cannot underestimate her. She's more deliberate and calculating than we think.
She's a seven-year-old girl, and her name is Seo...
Oh, she's over there.
Seo Yeon?
Oh, Seo Yeon's mother.
What happened? Seo Yeon? Seo Yeon?
It's Mom. Seo Yeon, open your eyes, Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon. Seo Yeon. It's Mom.
What to do?
I'm very sorry, Mother.
She said she was hungry, so I tried to make something...
Why are you doing this to us? Did Teacher Bae Hyo Jin put you up to this?
It was not enough to abuse my daughter, so she asked you to feed her rotten food, too?
That is really not true, Mother.
You know how much Teacher Bae adores Seo Yeon.
I don't know that. I really don't.
And why did you do that to us, Lawyer?
Did anyone ask you to make food for my daughter?
Her stomach is so weak.
So you knew about it.
Would you like some coffee?
I didn't bring this from the kindergarten.
Did Seo Yeon have problems with her stomach before she began attending kindergarten?
No.
Then you are saying that it began happening after she began kindergarten?
I think so.
Haven't you considered that maybe the food given to the children at the kindergarten was the problem?
Teacher Bae Hyo Jin risked being fired from her job
to try and stop the children from being fed the trash porridge.
Teacher Bae is the only person who truly thought about the children.
So if you can tell us the truth now... Mother.
My husband died due to an accident.
So I worked at the supermarket and raised her myself.
I couldn't afford to send her to any preschools or kindergartens.
But the director accepted her.
One day, the director asked me to come see her.
She told me that Seo Yeon had autism
and could not get along with the other children.
Why so suddenly?
I'm sorry, I cannot tell you anymore.
Did she then ask you to sue Teacher Bae for abusing your child?
No. That never happened.
You must tell me the truth, Mother.
Someone was reported for child abuse unfairly.
Moreover, starting this year, those convicted of child abuse will face stiffer punishment.
Teacher Bae reported the violations for the children's sake.
We cannot send someone like that to prison.
I will be grateful if you would withdraw your lawsuit.
Please leave now.
I'll take care of my child.
Mother...
Dad, thank you so much for your gift today.
I'm a little sad that we couldn't share a meal,
but I'll just imagine that we ate together.
Soo Bin, can I call you?
♡♡ Soo Bin ♡♡
Hi, Dad.
Hi, Soo Bin.
You say "hi," too.
Hi, Penguin. Dad is sorry, Soo Bin.
It's okay. You gave me an adorable gift, so I'll forgive you.
Really?
I think he is too adorable.
- Penguin is cute? - I will sleep while hugging him tight.
Soo Bin, Dad really tried to keep his promise. You know Dad is good at keeping promises.
Dad, I'm really all right.
Really?
Dad, you tried hard to keep your promise. That is enough for me.
I'm sorry. My Soo Bin is already an adult.
I'm still a child.
Soo Bin, what are you doing?
Call ended
Chew your food well.
Oh, so cute.
Hello, my friends. Are you enjoying your...
Yes!
It is yummy, Teacher.
Enjoy your food.
It's me, Geum Nyeo.
Ahjumma Hwang.
Yes?
Have you gone crazy?
Is this a party?
Is it someone's birthday?
What do you mean?
How much meat did you put into that curry the children are eating?
Yes, children really love meat. Wouldn't it be nice if they grew up strong to contribute to our nation?
Are you feeding the children with your money? Is this your place?
Why are you so angry?
Maybe next time, I should shred the meat fine and mix it into the food?
And who told you to serve strawberries to children?
I saw a big box of strawberries delivered this morning...
I ordered that for myself!
Oh, so scary. If you eat all those strawberries, you will get diarrhea
and get sick. So isn't it nice to share it with the children?
Are you the director?
I will deduct money that exceeded the budget today from your wages.
From now on, make the food according to these instructions.
If you exceed the budget, expect to pay for it yourself.
Menu
Aigoo, what is this? It reminds me of when I was young and ate millet gruel.
- I was so malnourished that my skin was jaundiced, my belly was bloated, and the farts— - You want to be fired?!
So, like this? I ate millet gruel and I kept farting and fainting...
Get the hell out!
- You came to make a delivery? - Yes.
Which year's model is this truck?
It's a bit old.
- How many tons does it carry?- 1.5 tons.
You can just leave it here. I can take care of it.
Over here, here.
- It's all right. - You can just go.
- Work hard.- Alright.
Did you get a car loan to buy it?
- Alright!- Huh?
Wow, look at this rotten person. These have all passed the expiration dates and have spoiled.
You bought all the same products and put them in the kindergarten, right?
Yes, I gave it to the office manager.
Yes, I put them in the kitchen.
They really are too much.
How can they feed these to the children? They have all passed the expiration dates.
Is this something humans can do?
Lawyer, this won't do. Never mind the trial.
I better just take the kids away and flip that kindergarten over. Let's go.
- How dare she frame my sister?- Where are you going?
Don't go. Don't get excited and calm down.
Miss Ae Ra, take photos of everything.
Lawyer Lee, make sure to persuade Seo Yeon's mom quickly.
- Yes.- This is just... Aish!
Court of Law
Starting from now, Seoul Central District Court Case number 2016
Gohap 1358.
We will now begin the trial of Bae Hyo Jin, who was accused of abusing children.
Prosecutor, let us hear your opening argument.
Defendant Bae Hyo Jin, at the kindergarten in which she was employed, abused
Oh Seo Yeon and caused second degree injuries. And as to the other children,
she has habitually abused them as well.
At this, the state charges the defendant with a count of battery, pursuant to Criminal Code Article 257,
and pursuant to the Children's Welfare Law Articles 17 and 71,
with a count of child abuse.
Defendant, do you acknowledge these charges?
We do not.
The defendant has always had a strong sense of justice.
In order to correct the corruption at the kindergarten at which she worked, she spoke to the director.
But the director wanted to block the defendant from reporting the corruption, so not only did she unjustly fire her,
she unfairly accused her of abusing children.
Corruption at a kindergarten? What would that be?
In a word, it's "trash porridge."
- Trash porridge?- What is he talking about?
The kindergarten director, in order to save money on meal expenses, she would buy from low-quality suppliers
expired canned foods and rotten vegetables to feed the children.
In addition, she would take the leftovers from the day before, and make porridge to feed the children.
When the defendant found out about this, she spoke to the director, but
she was ostracized, harassed, and eventually unjustly fired.
Objection!
If there was such corruption, then why did the defendant not report it, before
she was cornered like this? Isn't it because there is no such corruption?
That is a good question.
The defendant tried to report this after she got fired.
But she could not. Because she thought about the children.
The reason I did not report the corruption
was for the protection of the children.
Our kindergarten is often where families with both working parents who are having a tough time send their children.
But if I reported the corruption and made the kindergarten close down
those children would suddenly have no place to go.
When I was young, my parents ran their own business.
They left early in the morning and came home late at night.
Once, there was a gas leak in our home.
My Oppa and I began to lose our consciousness because we breathed in the gas.
But no one on the outside could see what was happening in our home.
If our parents had returned just a little bit later,
Oppa and I might have died.
Do you know why I couldn't report it?
Because then the children I had been with would become like me...
So I could not report the kindergarten.
In the event that the kindergarten would have had to cease operations because of the report,
those who would be hurt the most would not have been the director
but the children who would suddenly have had no place to go.
So the defendant thought first about the consequences of her report.
But the director used this defendant's thoughtfulness against her
and blocked the exposure of the corruption and unfairly accused the defendant of child abuse.
As a result, we cannot agree with the prosecutor's indictment.
It seems things are in our favor now, right?
It's not enough to appeal to emotions. If we don't have a witness soon, it will be difficult to win.
Oh, Mr. Bus Driver.
I'm not a driver, I'm actually
Hyo Jin's lawyer, Jo Deul Ho.
Teacher Shin, you too
knew that the director was feeding trash porridge to the children, right?
No, I didn't know that.
Do you have a belly ache? Hold on.
How does your belly hurt?
Oh my. Are you all right, Seo Yeon?
You really didn't know?
If I say that I did know, does anything change?
If you did know and didn't say anything, nothing changes, actually.
However, if you choose to not remain silent, as Hyo Jin did,
the children will no longer have to eat trash porridge.
Then what about me? I will not be able to work in this field.
Even if I sent an anonymous report,
all the kindergarten directors will still know who did it. So should I still report it?
Who would do something so reckless?
I will probably end up like Teacher Bae. Being unfairly fired
and then branded a child abuser.
Teacher.
Sorry. I don't have another choice.
H-h-hold on.
Would you reconsider it since you go back a long way with me, the bus driver?
This is about the kids. Shouldn't we stop the kids from being fed trash porridge?
I'll say it again. I didn't know about it, and it's not true.
Please don't contact me.
Teacher Shin.
Hello.
We had our first hearing regarding Teacher Bae Hyo Jin.
There will be another hearing in two weeks.
Do you think that maybe you can withdraw your complaint before then?
If not, I request a statement, at least.
I thought about it, but I cannot.
I told you what was going on at the kindergarten.
And you know well what an unfair thing this is for Teacher Bae Hyo Jin.
Please stop doing this to me. I'm suffering, too.
Perhaps... has the director come to see you to persuade you?
At this rate...
It's all right, so please just leave.
No, this...
Just go, I said. Please go.
I'm sorry. I failed to persuade Seo Yeon's mother.

Today we got pasta for lunch at school.
It wasn't as good as the one Mom makes for me, but it was still quite yummy.
Maybe because it was my favorite, spaghetti with meatballs?
I ate a second bowl for the first time. What if I become a pig now?

Miss Ae Ra said that the food that could be used as evidence was already taken away.
Just because she's a kindergarten director, we cannot underestimate her. She's more deliberate and calculating than we think.
Didn't I draw that well?
It's strange.
- What? - It's strange.
You guys do not understand art. Do you have a favorite artist?
- Vincent van Gogh. - Vincent van Gogh?
- Art teacher. - Art teacher?
Then can you draw better than me?
Yes!
- What will you do if you don't? - Hit me on the head.
If you draw better than me you can hit me on the head.
Yes.
Have a seat.
You're not drawing?
Go ahead.
What should we draw?
- The moon. - Moon.
- Tiger. - What else?
- Cat. - Should we draw a cat?
- Our face. - Face.
Face, yes, let's draw our face.
You have to draw your own face.
You can't draw someone else's, or someone on TV, got it?
Yes.
Okay, we're going to draw our own faces. Let's see who does it the best. Let's begin.
We finished.
Wow, you did so well. They look just like your faces.
They look just like photographs. How can this be?
Good. Next time, let's draw food.
You're going to draw the food that you eat at kindergarten. Rice and the side dishes.
Not the food you ate a long time ago, but what you ate today.
Don't draw what you want to eat.
We finished.
All done?
Let's take a look. Did you eat bread?
I ate the bread that Mom packed for me.
Why is there a chicken there?
Today's menu was Ginseng Chicken Soup, but there was nothing but broth.
So that means the chicken is still alive.
Since there was no meat, the chicken is alive somewhere?
Why don't you have any food there?
You told us not to draw anything we didn't eat.
It was yucky, so I didn't eat anything.
I only ate a little bit, too.
Is that so?
On the bottom, write today's date and your name. Okay?
Why?
That's what all the famous artists do. Okay, today's date and your name.
Seo Yeon, are you finished? Show me.
Wow, you draw that well.
Want to see what I drew? This is Seo Yeon.
It's funny, right? I think you will look so much prettier if you smile.
When will you smile? Do you only smile when Teacher Hyo Jin comes?
This isn't funny?
The world is spinning backwards, I say.
That director who fed children trash porridge is free to walk around.
But why does my sister who reported that have to be put on trial?
Why?
Eat this.
We're all making an effort, so she will be freed, soon.
You know Lawyer Jo's skills. She will be free, soon.
- Miss Ae Ra. - Yes?
- I think I will just settle this case. - Huh?
All I have to do is give some money to that kid's mother, right?
You, you're really crazy...
Why settle when she is innocent?
No, it's not that.
What if... what if she loses at trial?
Then my sister Hyo Jin goes to prison. I can't let that happen.
It's enough that I went to prison.
Don't worry. Drink this.
This goddamn world...
It's okay, everything will become okay.
Okay.
No, no, you mustn't.
Aigo, seriously.
What's wrong with him? Hold on to me.
Here, here, here.
How much did you drink?
Hey, collapse here.
He guzzled alcohol.
Go ahead and sleep. I'll be going.
Go home. Thanks.
Are you all right?
Huh? Are you crying?
Who is crying?
Go ahead and cry.
People should cry when they want to.
Prosecutor, please begin your examination of the defendant.
Beautiful Smile Kindergarten Child Abuse Case 2nd Day of Trial
Before I examine the defendant,
please watch the CCTV footage evidence from the kindergarten.
The defendant
left Oh Seo Yeon alone at an isolated place
where there was no one and neglected her for over 30 minutes.
According to the director and her co-workers,
the defendant habitually punished the children by leaving them alone like this.
That a kindergarten teacher who must protect and take care of children
would treat children this way, this is clearly
a case of child abuse.
Please look at another CCTV footage.
Defendant, at that time,
after covering Oh Seo Yeon with a blanket, what did you do to her?
She was crying so I was trying to comfort her.
So I covered her with a blanket and showed her a glow-in-the-dark toy.
You showed her a glow-in-the-dark toy?
It would have been enough to just cover the child's head.
But why did you cover her entire body?
Wasn't it to evade the CCTV camera?
And if you had really just shown her a glow-in-the-dark toy,
was there any reason for so much movement beneath the blanket?
Isn't it that you covered her with a blanket and assaulted her?
Your Honor, the prosecution's claim is pure speculation.
Sustained.
Your Honor, regarding the child Oh Seo Yeon,
I submit the doctor's report containing her diagnosis of autism and photos of bruises taken on the same day.
Look at this.
The defendant, to a child who requires extra care,
an autistic child, instead, cruelly neglected her.
That is all.
Defense, will you examine the defendant?
Defense? Please begin.
Why won't you speak?
Counsel, please speak.
What is your reason for not speaking?
Your Honor.
I wanted to show what happens
when one remains silent.
If one remains silent, we know nothing.
Regarding the videos the prosecution submitted as evidence,
we only know fragmented information, and nothing more.
Why is that? Because those who know the truth are remaining silent.
I requested the defendant's fellow teacher
and the mother of the child who was allegedly abused
to be witnesses for today's hearing.
But they did not come.
That this case is not about child abuse
but about trash porridge, those who know this well
are remaining silent because they want to bury the truth.
Therefore, I, as counsel for the defendant
cannot reveal anything at this hearing.
It was just a few years ago,
when we suffered through an incident that taught us that remaining silent would only drown all of us!
Despite that, to those who still remain silent,
I'd like to sincerely appeal to you.
Silence cannot change the world.
Have you, by any chance, heard the rumor about High Chief Prosecutor Choi?
What rumor do you mean?
That he is the most likely candidate to become the next prosecutor general.
He received the most support at the nomination meeting
and he is also a fellow university alumnus with the Minister.
He is certainly worthy.
Within the Prosecutor's Office, he had served in all the important positions.
He is also known for his clean character and lack of greed.
He is also your senior by one year.
Are you worrying for my sake?
I am in no rush.
I heard that there may be an internal investigation of you,
Chief Prosecutor.
Oh, that they will
look into my relationship with Dae Hwa Group?
Yes, I've heard they've even assembled a task force.
Will you be all right?
Well, it is just a routine procedure, isn't it?
And within the prosecutors, there are those who oppose me.
I will look into it myself.
Oh, and you know that Prosecutor Shin Ji Wook is going against Jo Deul Ho, right?
Yes, I know about that.
After learning that the defendant's lawyer was Jo Deul Ho,
Prosecutor Shin insisted on taking the case, I've heard.
It must concern you a bit.
Isn't it like Mozart vs. Salieri?
It's been like that for a long time, those two.
But shouldn't you support your son a little bit?
If I help him, Ji Wook
will never beat Jo Deul Ho on his own.
Here. You worked hard.
When did you become such a sentimental lawyer?
I heard that you're even taking cases from others
so I made a little speech today. Let's go easy, Ji Wook.
How can anyone
go easy on a case regarding child abuse?
You seem to know. How about enlightening me?
If she is convicted, then do whatever you like.
But I'm asking you to go easy before then.
Just because you're having a hard time, don't just take any case and argue that they are innocent.
Because she is certainly guilty in this case.
That's what I want to say to you.
Don't take just any case and argue that they are guilty.
If you have time, let's have trash porridge together some time.
I hear that it's trendy in kindergartens.
Bus Driver Jo.
You simply didn't show up at work, but we meet here.
Two jobs. Two jobs.
No wonder.
I thought you looked too intelligent to be a driver.
Aigoo, I also thought
that you seemed too elegant to do bad things to children.
Did that cunning bitch put you up to this?
To get a fake job at the kindergarten to find out secrets?
Oh, it looks like you do have some secrets, Director Ahjumma.
I don't know what your scheme is
but watch yourself.
I know a lot of people in the legal field.
I don't know anyone.
You're making me sick, so how about you stop acting like
you're good, noble, elegant, and that you care for children. Please take off the mask already?
I guess you don't know me well yet.
Do as you like.
Nothing will work out the way you want.
I've never had anything work out the way I wanted in my life.
I'm going to clamp on to you until you are laid bare,
so you'd better use an expensive attorney.
Why, you're going to stab me with that?
If you stab me with this, I'm going to hurt.
Who do you think you're spitting informalities to, when you're not even that old?
Thank you, come again.
Oh, you're here. Sorry to ask you to come
- when you're busy.- It's okay.
Eun Jo, you know Seung Min's mom, right?
Umm, is she doing fine?
Umm, but she is getting a divorce.
You know she does everything in the first-class style.
So she will get the best law firm for her divorce case.
That case, you can take it, right?
- That is...- Is it too small a case for you to take?
No, Mom, it's not like that, but I'm sorry.
Right, you're busy. I knew it would be like this. It's okay, I will just tell her to get another lawyer.
Umm, Mom, I... left Geum San.
What?!
Why, were you fired?
Did you, perhaps, quit on your own?
Crazy, crazy! When it was so hard for you to get in there!
Mom, Mom, I will find a job with another firm soon.
And I am working on a case right now.
I am sorry for not telling you earlier.
Then, were you looking for another job all this time?
Yes, really, I didn't quit because I wanted to quit, but...
You did well. You did fine! Don't be broken hearted.
Here, doll up your face. You can get an interview with another firm.
Mom.
- I'm sorry.- It's okay.
But what do we do about our loan payments?
I will get a job soon and pay that off in a jiffy. Don't worry.
Did you have a really hard time?
Dad, is a phone call a possibility?
Soo Bin!
Mr. Lawyer, are you busy?
No, I am not busy.
How about you, Soo Bin? What did you do? Were you busy?
Yes, I was busy, too.
Today, I had swimming and art lessons.
I went to the supermarket with Mom, too.
You did? It must have been a hard day.
I do it all the time, though.
How about you, Dad? Did you have a hard day, too?
Dad? Dad did not have a hard day because I'm a Superman.
That's right. My daddy is a Superman.
Soo Bin, what did you have for dinner?
Mom and I cooked pasta with the things we bought at the supermarket.
It was really yummy.
You had pasta? Wow, it must have been yummy.
I want some, too.
I will make it for you some time.
Who did our Superman save today?
Well, today, Superman is planning
to punish the bad people who want to feed children spoiled food.
Really? That doesn't make any sense.
You must punish those people, Dad.
They must be punished, right?
I wish you'd feed those people the same bad food.
Should I? Should I do that?
Dad, if we talk long, we'll get busted by Mom, again.
So I will end it here.
Good night, Dad.
Soo Bin, sleep tight.
I wish you'd feed those people the same bad food.
What is the matter?
- You are here, at Banggeut Kindergarten, to cook for the birthday party, right?- Yes.
The location has been changed. Not at the kindergarten,
but if you drive straight for about 100 meters and make a right, you will see a community center.
You can set it up there. Aigoo!
Let me shake your hand once. I'm your fan. Aigoo, Mr. Chef.
You are handsome. Please make it delish.
Alright, alright.
That's taken care of.
Oh! Okay!
Hey, hey, hey, this is heavy.
- Too heavy for me.- Here, take it.
Happy Birthday to Principal Kang Ja Young
Thank you so much for coming today.
Getting old is not something to boast about.
I gave it much thought, whether I should hold a birthday party.
But I heard this is an annual event.
If you skip this year, that would be a shame.
Is that so? After all, Jeong Hwa's Mother seems to be the only one who cares about me.
For today's dinner, I made an arrangement for a special course meal cooked by a famous chef.
Bernard Kang, you know him, right? Lately, he comes on TV frequently.
But, that chef is in demand nowadays. How did you get him?
I asked him to make an authentic French meal, but I don't know how it will come out.
Enjoy it please.
Yes, thank you.
Oh my, authentic French dishes...
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
It's a beautiful night, everyone. Happy birthday.
What the hell are you doing? Why are you here?!
- What an offensive thing to say. Today, Chef Bernard Kang...- He is abroad on business.
Yes, because he is away on business, our Deul Ho Jo Restaurant,
with a dream chef team, is here.
I'm Chef Deul Ho Jo. My Korean name is Jo Deul Ho.
Specially for today, we had prepared European piang chiang wang jjang organic premium natural course meals.
But Principal Kang called us and said that was not right.
The food that kindergarten pupils eat,
I want to serve the parents the exact same food.
So we came prepared until our hands got blisters.
Now, look upon us kindly.
Now, set the table!
Looks good?
Look here, what the hell are you trying to do?
Now, these dishes are prepared from the director's special recipes.
So you can't go wrong in the taste department.
Today's main dish is boiled slapdash with yesterday's leftovers.
- Special Trash Porridge, please enjoy.- Enjoy!
And calling this soup "chicken ginseng soup" will be an understatement.
This is chicken ginseng soup of miracle that has only one chicken to go around and serve twenty people.
But, is this food for humans?
Aigo, I told you it's for kindergarten pupils. What do you mean humans eat this?
Among the ingredients are things whose expiration dates passed about one year ago.
If you feel queasy while eating it, gag and...
Now, together with food tasting
by the director, who is the creator of this food, we'll hear the story behind the birth of this dish.
- Now, taste!- Taste it!
It's a misunderstanding! Those people are slandering me right now.
It's true. How, on earth, can I feed
our children this food, mothers?
My child came home with a stomach ache before, wasn't it because of this food?
My kid kept getting diarrhea at home, so I thought it was a case of enteritis, but it was because of this!
I thought it was weird that my kid would eat so much at home.
How can humans eat this?!
How can you eat this?
Now, as the CEO of Deul Ho Restaurant,
what kind of food is this indeed?
I will try tasting it.
Those of you who are curious about this food, you can taste along with me.
Now, I will eat it, I will enjoy it.
Eat it.
Please eat.
What is this?
You really fed this to our kids?
- Have some.- What is this?
Eat it!
How could you...
Eat it! You see how it tastes, too!
You call this food?
Principal, please eat it.
You're telling them to eat this?
I guess she can't stomach it either.
I guess she can't swallow it.
To celebrate the principal's birthday,
the children have prepared for a special performance.
Kids!
Let's sing Happy Birthday.
♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
Go ahead and eat it.
- Have some of this too.- ♪ Happy Birthday to you ♪
♪ Our dear Principal ♪
♪ Happy birthday to you. ♪
Eat this and eat this, too. You eat all of this.
Wow, you draw so well!
Who did you draw? Is it me?
No? You drew her really pretty.
It's really not me?
I don't think it's her either. It looks too pretty to be her.
Seo Yeon, then is it this person?
Seo Yeon!
What were you doing?
I was drawing you, Teacher.
Really? You drew me prettily, right?
Yes. I drew you prettily.
I have to go and play with you,
but I can't go right now.
Why not?
No, I'll go. I'll go, but...
I'll be there in a few days.
Really? Come quickly, Teacher. I miss you.
I will. I miss you so much too.
I'll make sure to come see you.
You came too, Seo Yeon!
Thank you so much, Mother! You can come this way.
- Sure. - Thank you.
Case Number 2016 Gohap 1358,
the third day of defendant Bae Hyo Jin's trial for child abuse will proceed.
Your Honor, Child Oh Seo Yeon and her mother, who were called
as witnesses a while ago, are present here.
Please allow me to question them.
It's an exceptional occurrence to call a child who is too young to be in school as a witness to a trial in a courtroom.
However, since she is accompanied by her parent, I will allow it.
Defense, you may begin your case-in-chief.
Before starting the examination, I would like to request the court and the prosecution
to show special consideration toward Child Oh Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon, you know me, right? You just need to
answer honestly to what I ask you.
Okay.
You know Teacher Bae Hyo Jin, right?
Yes.
What kind of person was Teacher Hyo Jin to you?
She played with me a lot.
Did Teacher Hyo Jin ever hit you?
It's okay.
Has Teacher Hyo Jin ever made you stand up for a long time and hurt you?
We were... playing hide and seek.
Then why did you say Teacher Hyo Jin hit you?
The principal told me to say that.
Seo Yeon, here.
Look at these pictures carefully.
How did these scars form?
Did someone hit you?
I don't know...
Did Teacher Bae Hyo Jin hit you?
Your Honor, the prosecution is asking the young witness leading questions.
Sustained.
Seo Yeon, look at these pictures carefully.
These were scars from your body.
You really don't remember who did this to you!?
Seo Yeon, it's okay.
We'd better calm her down first. We will take a brief recess.
Hold on please! Without a recess,
everyone, please remain seated.
And bring the defendant from the waiting room right now!
The only person that can calm the child is the defendant!
Bailiff, please bring the defendant.
Seo Yeon. Seo Yeon, it's okay. I'm here.
It's okay. Don't cry.
Use this to soothe her.
Your Honor,
please turn off all the lights.
Ta-da!
