(Episode 7)
I'm so busy.
I made cucumber kimchi.
Wait a second.
Oh my gosh.
Eun Jo. Hey! Hey!
Why are you still sleeping? Look at the time.
Aren't you going to work?
Work!
I worked until really late last night.
Does that mean you don't have to go in today?
I need to go. I'm going.
Hello. I'm Lee Eun Jo, and I'm an attorney.
If you need to file a suit or need a consultation, please give me a call.
Did you come alone?
Did an insurance company come by?
- What? - Well...
If the insurance company offers 1,000 or 1,500 dollars, don't agree.
If you have an attorney like me, you can collect much more.
Please get rid of this peddler.
You can collect much more in worker's compensation, too.
- You're hurt... - Please leave.
- Please go. - Sir!
You can't stay here.
- I'm not a bad person. - Sure.
This is fruitless.
How could I not get a single client?
Gosh.
Sir.
If any of your patients need an attorney,
please give me a call.
Thank you.
(Lee Eun Jo, Attorney)
Everyone! Listen up!
We refuse to be wronged any longer!
Ma'am.
- Someone took your money, right? - Right?
Use the law.
Mr Park.
Did your kid get beaten up?
Don't just take it.
- The law isn't out of reach - The law isn't out of reach
- We have Joe Deul Ho - We have Joe Deul Ho
- Neighbourhood Lawyer, Joe Deul Ho! - Neighbourhood Lawyer, Joe Deul Ho!
Let's hit the apartment complexes.
- Apartment complexes. - Okay.
Leave him.
- What is it? - I'm losing my mind.
- I'm losing it. - Oh, my.
Is he still sleeping?
It's been days.
Isn't he going to work?
He's been like that ever since he lost Michael Jung.
He is burned out. His internal fan blew out.
- What? - He's burned out.
What?
- He's lost all motivation. - I see.
He's lost all motivation. My gosh.
I've lost all understanding!
You don't pay rent. You don't work.
This isn't a homeless shelter! Ouch.
- Oh my gosh. - Go away.
Come on.
Do you know how hard we're working?
We're marketing for you all around the marketplace?
He knows. He knows.
What's the point? You send all future clients back.
Wow. You can't be human.
Are you a bear? Are you hibernating?
Fine. Sleep. Sleep.
Sleep. Just sleep. Sleep.
He'll get up soon.
Hello.
- Hi, Ms Lee. - Hello.
What is this?
I bought some spicy seafood noodles. I heard they're hot right now.
I'm glad you're here.
Will you take this away?
You can throw it out if you don't need it.
What is it?
- Take a look. You'll be shocked. - All right.
Oh, my. Mr Joe!
Is he sick?
He's just been like that. He says he doesn't feel like working.
Would you like to move into our office?
I'll give it to you for cheap.
I'm going to kick out this monstrosity.
- Okay? - Come on.
Let's make the noodles.
Leave me alone. Just make the noodles.
(Neighbourhood Lawyer, Joe Deul Ho)
(Directions to Neighbourhood Lawyer, Joe Deul Ho)
Wait. Three seconds.
One, two, three. Eat!
Hot. Hot.
- It's hot. - It's ladies first.
- You have no manners. - Where's the egg?
(Attorney, Joe Deul Ho)
- Gosh, that's hot. - Try this.
Buy some eggs.
Daddy.
Do you want to see the penguins?
Daddy!
What?
Do you remember me?
You've gotten so big, Soo Bin.
You look like a lady now.
- Is she really Mr Joe's daughter? - Yes.
Hi. How old are you?
I'm nine years old.
You're so cute.
You must look like your mummy.
If you look closely, I look like Daddy, too.
Don't lie.
You should become a celebrity when you grow up.
I don't like celebrities.
Don't do that.
He says he'll give you candy money.
Give me some money. Quick.
- Hurry. - Soo Bin.
What's going on?
How did you find me?
I looked you up online, looked up the address and followed the map.
That's absurd.
You must be good at doing things on your own like your daddy.
Goodness. How are you so smart?
You came by yourself?
My gosh. This is insane. This is insane.
Soo Bin, can I get a hug?
- Have you been well? - Yes.
My daddy's aged.
You look beat.
No, no.
I'm the same as before.
- Did you get a perm? - A perm?
You look like you were hit by a bomb.
No, it's the same as before.
Daddy. I'm hungry.
You're hungry?
- Should we go eat? - Yes!
Okay, let's go.
- Credit card. - Hold on.
Just give it to him.
- Let's go. - Bye.
Eat something yummy.
Enjoy!
She's so cute.
He hasn't seen her in three years.
He must be so happy.
I know.
Did he really...
get a divorce?
Yes. Didn't you know?
Jang Hae Kyung of Geum San is his ex-wife.
Ms Jang?
- Really? - Yes.
I see.
Are you here to see me?
Come in. Let's talk inside.
No wonder.
It was a big deal both when they got married...
and when they got divorced.
Mummy, I came to see Daddy.
I'm writing you in case you get worried.
What should we eat?
I want spicy rice cakes.
Spicy rice cakes?
Let's have something expensive.
No. I eat plenty of expensive food with Mummy.
I see.
Eat up.
- Is it good? - Yes.
The boy who sits next to me in class likes me.
What?
But I don't like him.
He's fat and ugly.
Our class president likes me, too.
That's a love triangle, right?
Why do so many boys like you?
How many boys like you?
A lot.
There's about 12 boys that like me.
What?
That's a love dodecagon.
I don't know.
Mummy was supposed to buy me sneakers yesterday, but she didn't.
She must have forgotten.
These are nice, too. They're pretty.
I wanted to wear new shoes when I came to see you.
What a shame.
I took ski lessons this winter. It was super fun.
- You ski, too? - Yes.
Let's go skiing together.
Okay, let's do that.
It sounds like fun.
There are so many places I want to go to with you.
Where else?
I want to go to the movie theatre with you.
I also want to go to the beach and play in the water.
I want to shoot you with a water gun.
- That sounds like fun. - That's right.
I want to go to an amusement park and go on rides, too.
I want to go on the Kiddies' Viking.
That sounds fun, too.
I have something for you.
What is this?
My diary.
This is from this year.
This is from last year, and this is from the year before.
I thought you'd want to know what I did the past three years.
I've missed you a lot, Daddy.
Why didn't you come see me?
I've missed you, too.
I should've gone to see you. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I'll come to you next time.
Sorry.
Don't cry.
Dae Soo, what are you doing?
We would like a consultation.
What are you doing in the office?
We need a consultation!
Don't look.
- Is she really your sister? - Why you...
Yes. Everyone. She is my real sister.
She is the only college graduate in my family. Education major.
She was smart ever since she was little.
You were wrongfully terminated?
Yes. They told me to stop coming without any explanation.
Did you do anything that may have been...
Goodness.
Well...
No.
If you were fired for no reason, you may file a lawsuit.
And if you win, you should be reinstated immediately.
- Good. - Really?
Do you want to be reinstated or compensated?
I want to be reinstated.
I love the kids so much.
She's always liked kids ever since she was young.
Do you know how hard she worked for that tiny salary?
But that wretched director...
- Come on. - Gosh.
You'll take on her case, right?
I'm sure he will.
She's your little sister.
Don't worry.
- Dae Soo. - Yes?
Let's let Ms Lee handle this one.
Pardon?
You do it.
Me?
Can you do it?
Well, yes.
I..
I understand exactly how you feel. I was also...
Of course, I resigned first,
- but regardless... - Hold on. Hold on!
You won't do it yourself?
I'd like to,
but she's a better fit this time.
- But... - Look here.
She isn't just a friend. She's my real sister.
Should I bring you my family registry record?
Do a good job.
Mr Joe.
Hi. Are you here?
I'm coming out.
Let's go, Soo Bin.
Let's go.
Soo Bin.
Goodbye. I'll see you again.
Goodbye.
Soo Bin.
Next time,
let's eat better food and go to fun places, okay?
Okay.
Daddy,
that kindergarten teacher before...
Yes?
Can't you represent her?
Why?
That ugly uncle kept asking you, too.
Well...
That teacher looked like a very good person.
How can you tell?
She had kind eyes.
Can you tell just like that?
Yes.
I can tell.
Please.
She seemed very wronged.
Okay.
Soo Bin.
What a dramatic three-year reunion.
The nine-year-old child went to her daddy first.
- Don't scold Soo Bin. - Don't scold Daddy.
- It was my fault. - It was my fault.
I'm the one who came without telling you.
Did you forget you have piano today?
You have English after. You don't have time for this.
Nothing will happen just because she misses her lessons one day.
You can't meet without prior approval any more.
And Soo Bin, if you go to Daddy without my permission again,
you'll be in trouble.
Okay.
Let's go.
Just a minute.
- Daddy. - Yes?
What are you doing next Monday?
It's your birthday.
How did you know?
I know everything.
I'll invite you.
- Really? - You have to come.
- Promise. - Promise.
Soo Bin, Daddy...
loves you so much.
Me too. I love you so much.
Bye, Daddy.
(I was so happy to see you, Daddy. I'm too excited to sleep.)
Soo Bin.
Did you text Daddy?
Yes.
Were you happy to see Daddy again?
Very.
Will you see him again?
Why do you think Mummy...
and Daddy don't live together?
I don't know for sure,
but because you hate Daddy.
Do you think...
I hate Daddy...
for no reason?
I'm sure you have your reasons,
but it would still be nice to live with him.
Soo Bin.
When adults break up after living together,
it's because...
it's better to be apart than together.
I won't...
tell you not to see Daddy any more.
But...
if you see him, you'll want to see him more.
And if you keep seeing him,
you'll want to live with him.
I won't...
live with him any more.
Then will you leave me...
and live with Daddy?
Do you understand...
what I mean?
Okay.
I feel sorry for Daddy.
He's all alone.
Don't cry.
Superman Daddy!
I was so happy to see you, Daddy.
I'm too excited to sleep.
Me too. I was so happy.
Good night, Soo Bin.
I love you.
Mummy is with me right now.
Good night, Superman.
I love you, Daddy.
I saw Daddy on the news today.
Daddy was a prosecutor, but now, he's a lawyer.
My dad is the best.
Daddy won his trial again.
He helped a poor man before and won, too.
This time, he helped a poor, old lady with a potato stew place...
and won again.
I knew it. My dad is Superman.
Whenever someone is in need,
my daddy shows up like Superman and solves their problems.
When I grow up and make money,
I'll buy him a Superman outfit.
My daddy is the best!
Get out already. Get out!
What's wrong with you?
You're too much!
You don't pay rent, and you shun my little sister!
We're through!
What's going on?
- Hello. - Hello.
Are those your things?
Take them and leave.
What are you doing?
Don't speak to a stranger like that.
You'll regret it.
Why would I regret it?
Fine. Ae Ra, help me with this.
- What? - I was going to move anyway.
- Hold on! - You don't want to discuss, right?
Discuss what?
You don't want to discuss the wrongful termination lawsuit.
Open up. Open up!
Come on. What are you doing?
- Move it in! - This way.
- Get this, too. - Let go.
Come on, now.
You know my temper.
- Don't I seem like Superman? - Superman?
- I'll buy you a spandex uniform. - Gosh.
Hi, Hyo Jin.
Did you get home safely?
What? Where are you?
Mr Joe.
Hyo Jin is at the police station.
Police station?
- What assault? - What do you mean?
- Hyo Jin would never do that. - Over here.
Where's Bae Hyo Jin?
What did I do to you in my past life?
Are you her lawyer again?
Yes, I'm her lawyer. That's why I'm here at this hour.
Where is she? Where is Hyo Jin?
Who are you?
I'm her big brother!
Where is Bae Hyo Jin? She was arrested for child abuse.
- She was sent to the prosecutor! - What?
How was she sent to the prosecutor without an investigation?
We did investigate.
The government is very sensitive about child abuse lately.
We received orders from above, so we sent her right over.
- Hi. - Deul Ho!
- It's been a while. - It has.
- How have you been? - I've been all right.
I heard you're handling Bae Hyo Jin's case.
- I'm not on that case any more. - Why not?
Ji Wook took it. He said he would handle it.
What?
When he found you were her attorney, he insisted.
Did he?
How could you hit a seven-year-old child?
How could you...
abuse a child?
How can you call yourself a teacher?
I never hit her.
This is unfair.
The truth will get out.
It's not true.
Why are you treating me like a criminal?
Are you bored?
Since when you do voluntarily take cases?
You shouldn't barge in like this.
It's impolite.
It's proper when it's to represent my client.
The victim's statement...
and the doctor's statement are consistent.
There were signs of assault on the child.
In addition,
we have surveillance videos of the suspect chasing the child...
and the child hiding from her.
We have the videos.
I was playing hide-and-seek with Seo Yeon.
I never hit her.
Don't speak.
Was that video...
analysed by the National Forensic Science?
The bruises could have been from before the videos.
Is that what you want to believe?
That is what my client says.
You have a daughter the same age as the victim!
Why are you defending this lowlife?
Are you out of your mind?
Watch your mouth.
She's just a suspect.
Don't treat her like a criminal.
Hyo Jin.
I am your lawyer.
I'm here to help,
so you must tell me the truth.
Have you ever hit or assaulted a child?
No.
I swear, I have not.
Then why does the victim...
claim you abused her?
What was your relationship...
with that child? What happened between you?
Seo Yeon...
was one of my favourite students.
She's slightly autistic,
so I gave her extra attention...
and spent extra time with her.
Then,
Seo Yeon must have been very attached to you.
Yes.
Her father had passed away...
and her mum works,
so she often stayed late at the kindergarten.
That's why I always played with her.
Then, why did the kindergarten...
report you?
Even if it seems minor, tell me everything.
That way, I can help you.
Mr Joe.
Can you guarantee you'll protect me?
Can you handle it?
Yes.
I guarantee it.
I protect...
all of my clients.
Please tell me.
You can't...
return to the kids like this.
Also,
nobody will accept...
a teacher who abused a child.
Our kindergarten director...
is infamous in the industry.
She has five kindergartens in Seoul alone.
- Hello! - Hi.
She's a total fake.
I believe children's smiles are the greatest treasures in the world.
That's why I named this kindergarten "Smile Kindergarten".
Angels.
Smile for the camera.
Smile.
She pretends to work for the children's education.
Who gave you permission to use the material?
Are these yours?
She has a hot temper,
so it's hard for the teachers or workers to stick around.
- Are you really a teacher? - I'm sorry.
I've seen many people like that.
What I couldn't stand...
was the children's meals.
Meals?
Do you mean the food the kids eat?
Yes.
They used a third of the food allotment to make the meals.
My stomach hurts.
- What made it worse... - Your stomach hurts?
was that they'd buy expired food from the market for a cheap price...
and leftover food from restaurants to feed the kids.
Look at me.
You have no idea...
how many times the kids got sick from the food.
When I went into the kitchen,
I realised why the kids were getting sick.
They were feeding them...
leftovers from restaurants or expired food.
Even the oil.
If we got 10 containers from the government,
they'd sell half...
and reuse the rest over and over...
until the oil turned black.
The food cooked in that disgusting oil...
went into the children's stomachs.
You didn't see it,
but I did.
They were rotten and smelled.
The food was mouldy, sour and dirty.
That's what they fed the children!
Wait.
These are kindergarten kids.
You knew what they were feeding those little kids,
and yet you did nothing to step them?
I went to the director and complained.
She said she didn't know and fired the cook.
But she did know.
It wasn't the first time.
She feeds her own kids...
only the best food,
but to the rest of the children...
Of course,
the city has regular inspections.
But...
she didn't receive a single complaint.
So,
I reported her to the education committee.
Okay.
You became a whistle-blower.
I get it now.
I understand now...
why you were suddenly terminated...
and charged with child abuse.
Stop them!
No!
No. No!
- Clean that up! - Stop it!
- I'm going to get you. - Stop!
No.
What's going on?
They are...
the students from Hyo Jin's class!
But...
Oh my gosh.
Hello!
Who are you?
I drive the kids...
I drive their kindergarten bus.
Okay, but what's going on?
They are excited about seeing her.
I brought them here thinking she may be here.
Oh my goodness.
She's with the prosecutor...
You've heard, right?
Yes, I've heard.
- Okay. - Yes.
Hey!
What?
- You're so funny. - You know...
In other words,
you believe Hyo Jin would never do that, correct?
No way. The kids love her.
It's ridiculous that she's being charged for child abuse.
Eat.
Are they all the kids from her class?
Yes.
Except for one.
Why didn't that child come?
- Mister! - The thing is,
- that child is... - What is a loan?
- Ask him. - Come here. I'll teach you.
Let's eat.
She's the child who reported Ms Hyo Jin.
You mean the child, Seo Yeon, who was named on the complaint?
Yes, that's right.
She took extra good care of her.
I don't understand why she pressed charges against her.
That's what we need to find out.
I heard the director is pretty unusual.
I can't say too much,
but I was fired as of today, too.
What? Why?
There's never a reason.
She fires teachers and employees...
whenever she feels like it. She does whatever she wants.
Anyway,
please help Ms Hyo Jin.
She's a great person.
Mister, please have this.
Thanks.
- What a good girl. - Have this, too.
- Good girl. - Let's go.
Please have one.
- It's okay. - Please.
Did you enjoy your lunch?
- Yes! - Yes!
- Did you eat dumplings, too? - Yes!
Let me ask you one thing.
Ms Hyo Jin is horrible, right?
- No! - No!
- No? - No!
Did she hit you?
- No! - No!
- Do you like her? - Yes!
What do you like?
She's pretty.
The kindergarten food is gross but she buys us yummy food.
She plays with us!
She did?
She took me to the hospital and made sure I got better.
She protected us when the director yelled at us.
She hugs me and holds my hand everyday, so I like her.
She has big, pretty eyes.
- I need to pee. - Are you about to pee?
- Yes. - Dae Soo.
Don't pee. Hold it in.
Did you pee already?
Let's go.
You're the boss here, right?
How did you know?
Then please save our teacher.
Shall I?
Like Superman!
Like Superman? Like this? Should we all fly over and save her?
Like this!
Did you have a fun day?
- Yes! - Yes!
I missed you so much.
Let's go in.
Where did you go?
Since it's my last day, I took the kids for a drive.
Is this car yours?
Are they your kids?
I'm sorry.
It's because you do rubbish like this that I fired you.
Do you realise that?
Give me the keys.
Yes, Ma'am.
Here you go.
Get lost!
This is shocking.
How could a monster like that run a kindergarten?
This is ridiculous!
There are worse people out there living good lives.
I should go and wreck the place.
This is shocking.
How could people like that still exist?
First, we must prove that Hyo Jin has never hit a child.
Based on what the kids said, there is no way she hit anyone.
But Seo Yeon claims she was hit, so we need to look into that.
I'll meet her mother.
Aren't you a good cook?
Of course.
I lived alone for 15 years before getting married,
seven years as a housewife,
then alone for three years after the divorce.
There's nothing I can't make.
Okay. You go undercover as a cook.
- Yes, Sir. - That sounds good. What about me?
- What should I do? - You?
We'll go for an interview there.
I'm not good with interviews.
The bus driver was fired, so let's try out for that.
So, I'm going undercover as the bus driver. Got it.
You'll see.
I'd like to know the basics first.
You just need to cause a scene.
(Director Kang Ja Yeong)
- Cho Min Suk? - Yes.
You drove a town bus for a while.
Yes. There was a grade school on my route,
so I had many children on my bus.
Do you like children in general?
Yes, of course.
The children are our hope and future.
They are all angels.
Of course.
- They're angels. - Yes.
Bae...
- Jin Sang? - Yes.
It may sound funny, but it's a good name.
It has a nice meaning.
It means pure and...
You've...
driven a taxi, mostly.
Yes. Not just a taxi, but a bullet taxi.
I've driven a bullet taxi for 12 years.
I can get from Gangnam to Bundang in 10 minutes flat...
without getting any tickets.
I know where all the cameras are, too.
You'll have to drive a bus that children will be riding.
That experience concerns me.
That's only when I'm in a rush.
I speed only when I'm in a rush.
I drive carefully otherwise.
I'm a bit worried.
The children may get scared.
Kids need to be scared every so often to toughen up.
Let's go out for a test run.
Sure.
You'll have to drive our bus anyway.
Yes, of course.
- Sure. - Fine.
Let's go. I came this far.
Are you okay?
Do you have another bus? One that is an automatic?
- Get out! - Okay.
Hwang Geum Yeo?
Yes.
Are you from Yanbian?
Yes. I'm from Yanbian.
That jerk cheated on me, so...
I'm sorry.
I love Korean dramas.
Mr Yong. Mr Byung.
Lee Byung Hun! Lee Byung Hun.
He's so sexy.
He's the best!
Do you speak Japanese, too?
Yes.
I worked at a Japanese restaurant with many Japanese customers.
With this much experience in the kitchen,
you must be a good cook.
Definitely.
People used to say my hands were magical.
I could stick them into hot oil, and they'd be fine.
Fish cake, tempura, onion, pickled radish.
I can fry anything.
Don't use too much of the ingredients.
Vegetables are expensive.
Watch what you say.
I'll make a feast using just pennies.
If you hire me, I will repay you for sure.
Thank you.
Okay. Sure.
- It's nice to meet you. - Hello.
Look how many bowls there are!
Go ahead.
Let me look at the ingredients...
to see what we have.
(Expiration date: March 17, 2018)
We hardly had anything to eat when we were their age.
Wow. These ingredients...
are unnecessarily fresh.
Is this the pantry?
These are all fresh.
Did they hide all the old products?
- Mr Lawyer! - Mr Lawyer!
You can't call me a lawyer. All right?
- Why not? - Why not?
We're in the middle of a secret operation.
- What operation? - What operation?
It's a secret operation to save Ms Hyo Jin.
Is it something like "Detective Conan"?
Exactly! It's a secret. Okay?
- Okay. - Okay?
- Okay. - Good.
Where is Seo Yeon?
- Seo Yeon? - Seo Yeon?
- She's over there. - She's over there.
It's a secret. All right?
Wow, you're good.
I can ride a slide backwards, too.
Can I show you? Here I go.
You're so quick.
Let's play together.
Ouch!
I'm fainting. Ouch!
Ouch, my goodness!
Ouch.
Let's play together.
Here you are. Seo Yeon,
tell me something.
Did Ms Hyo Jin...
hurt you?
Ms Hyo Jin is mean.
She hit me.
Really?
Ms Hyo Jin is mean. She hit me.
Seo Yeon.
Can I ask you one thing? Hold on. Seo Yeon.
Hold on, wait.
Where did you go?
I can't find you.
Where are you hiding?
Maybe you disappeared.
Excuse me, Ma'am.
Do you know where Seo Yeon's mother is?
- Seo Yeon's mother? - Yes.
She's over there.
I see. Thank you.
Hello. Are you Seo Yeon's mother?
Yes, I am. Who are you?
Hello. You know who Bae Hyo Jin is, right?
I'm her attorney, Lee Eun Jo.
I don't want to talk about that woman.
I heard she's been really nice to Seo Yeon.
Could you tell me what Seo Yeon said about Ms Hyo Jin?
I have nothing to say.
Leave me alone.
Ms Hyo Jin told me that there must be a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding? She hit my daughter and abused her.
- Ma'am... - You said you're an attorney.
If your daughter was abused like that,
would you still be able to defend that evil woman?
I have nothing more to say.
Leave! Right now!
How are things in the Ministry of Justice?
What's the matter?
My father?
He's well.
What did you say?
The inspection team?
I see.
Yes, I know.
I see.
Thanks for calling me.
The inspection team from the Ministry of Justice...
is investigating the relationship between Daehwa Group and you.
Is that reliable information?
I heard it from a friend who works at the Ministry of Justice.
The minister's term is coming to an end.
It must be a formal investigation before the next term.
They won't find anything even if they looked.
The Ministry of Justice may think otherwise.
What do you mean?
We shouldn't have handled Michael Jung's case like we did.
If we did as I said,
they wouldn't be suspicious of you.
Are you still naive...
or do you now have a useless conviction?
I'm not sure how long you plan to protect Chairman Jung,
but that may catch up with you.
Are you pretending to be like Joe Deul Ho?
Figure out where you stand.
Stop pretending to be someone you're not.
Get out.
Mr Minister.
It's me.
Oh, hello.
My goodness.
What brings you here?
Bae Hyo Jin is my client.
- She's not Joe Deul Ho's client? - Well,
we're co-counsels.
By the way, I don't work for Geum San any longer.
Why not? I thought you still worked for Geum San.
I'm now a freelance attorney.
If you don't mind,
can I see the surveillance videos of Bae Hyo Jin?
Of course.
- Come on in. - Okay.
You saw her, right?
She even chased after the young victim and abused her.
But it doesn't show exactly how the child was assaulted or abused.
The victim is...
a seven-year-old girl.
Even though there's no evidence of physical contact,
just the fact that the teacher chased after her...
can be a threat for the child.
Besides, harming a child's mental health or development also counts...
as emotional abuse.
There's still something I find strange.
The little girl runs out of the room in tears...
in the second clip, so it's easy to infer that she was assaulted.
But take a look at the first clip.
Look how Seo Yeon is delightfully running out of the room.
Could you rewind it?
Further back.
Right here. Stop. It's right here.
Zoom in.
Take a close look.
If the child felt threatened,
she wouldn't look so happy.
It's just a personal opinion,
but I don't think this video will serve as a decisive evidence.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
- Have a safe trip home.
- Be safe on your way home. - Goodbye.
Aren't you going home?
I have to stay here until much later.
Mum will come pick me up later.
I see.
Can you stay here alone?
That's why you spent a lot of time playing with Ms Hyo Jin.
I see.
Seo Yeon, I'll be back shortly after I drop the children off.
Will you play with me?
I'm really funny.
I'll be back soon. Wait for me.

Is it over already?
Do you know "Prince of the Sea"?
- No, I don't. - I don't know that song.
I came back to the sea

Seo Yeon.
What are you doing next Monday?
It's your birthday.
I'll invite you.
Seo Yeon.
I need...
to get going.
Can you stay here alone?
Then,
should I stay a little longer?
When is Ms Hyo Jin coming back?
Ms Hyo Jin?
Do you miss her?
Did Ms Hyo Jin...
really hurt you?
Did she really hurt you?
Do you want to play hide-and-seek?
Hide-and-seek?
If you find me,
I'll tell you.
You will?
Ready or not, here I come.
You're the birthday girl today, so order anything you want.
This will be my treat.
I can eat anything.
Let's have a look.
Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon. Seo Yeon.
I need to go!
Ms Lee.
I'm at the kindergarten.
Can you come here?
- Mr Joe. - Hi. That was quick.
What is it?
I have a very urgent matter.
- Please find Seo Yeon. - Sorry?
We were playing hide-and-seek, but I can't find her.
- This place is too big. - Okay.
Wait! Take my car.
Okay.
Seo Yeon!
Seo Yeon.
Hi.
Who are you?
I am...
Ms Hyo Jin's close friend.
I'm hungry.
You're hungry?
Do you want to cook something yummy with me...
until your mummy comes?
Ta-da! What should we have?
Do you like carrots?
Let's put an onion in, too.
Eggs.
Doesn't it smell good?
Wait a little bit.
Did you find her?
Yes, but Mr Joe...
- What's wrong? - Please hurry over.
What's wrong?
I made something to eat with Seo Yeon,
and something went wrong. She's very ill.
(My Lawyer, Mr Joe)
We need to get witnesses.
You know how wrongfully she is being accused.
I thought it over,
and I can't do it.
I want to be a good Daddy,
but I keep hurting you.
Did the director of the kindergarten come and convince you?
Stay out of it.
You must have a secret, old lady.
