Lee So-woo didn't commit suicide.
I saw it!
Lee So-woo has been murdered by Choi Woo-hyuk.
I want to open a school trial over the Lee So-woo incident.
I indict Choi Woo-hyuk for the murder of Lee So-woo.
Prosecutor is imagining things.
He doesn't even come to this school! Why does he meddle with this?
He's my son.
- I took after you? - Of course you did.
Your eyebrows, your eyes, your hair...
You look just like me.
(11 YEARS AGO)
Hello, Prosecutor.
Can I see the witness?
It seems like an obvious case of him committing murder while being drunk.
But he denies it!
That boy saw his own mother die in front of his eyes.
But he doesn't shed a single tear and doesn't say a word.
Without a testimony, this murderer will be set free!
How old is he?
He's seven.
His name is Yang Ji-hoon.
Hello, Ji-hoon!
Hello! My name is Han Kyung-hoon.
The police officers are so terrible, aren't they?
It's cold in this room, and you're just wearing a shirt!
You got hurt while playing?
Let's take a look.
No!
No, I'll get in trouble!
By whom?
Does your dad...
To you?
Ji-hoon.
You don't want to be here, right?
Scary-looking adults keep coming in and ask you questions,
you have to sit still in this small room... Right?
Let's make a bet.
If you just look at me straight in the eyes for 10 seconds, I'll send you home.
Sounds good?
Want to try it?
Look at me.
We'll start now.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
I don't want to go.
Please don't send me back home!
I don't want to go back.
That's why you didn't say anything?
Because you don't want to be sent home after?
Ji-hoon. Your dad's not there.
He's not home, the police officers took him away.
He will return.
He always does.
No, not this time.
I promise you.
Your dad won't ever come near you.
So...
Just say what you saw yesterday.
No one can hurt you anymore.
Ji-hoon.
Tell me.
I'm serious.
Everything is going to be OK from now.
So you can tell me.
My dad...
Did it.
Yes. We just got the testimony.
Yes, sir.
Your dad did it?
You saw it?
In front of your eyes...
Your dad did that to your mom?
Mr. Han.
The police chief wants to see you.
Yes, this is Han Kyung-hoon.
What did you say?
OK.
(THE WIFE-KILLER COMMITS SUICIDE IN PRISON)
(ORPHANAGE)
Hello, Ji-hoon.
It's been a while!
Let's eat!
Thank you for this meal!
Go on.
Ji-hoon.
I got the approval from your teacher. You can go back tomorrow.
- Really? - Yes.
What do you want to do?
Tell me if there's anything you want to do or want to have.
I'll get it for you.
Ji-hoon! Take a look!
You look good in this!
What is it? That one?
You want it?
Here! Let's go!
No it's OK, it's just me.
How come you're not sleeping?
Actually... I'm not sure either.
I can't sleep.
Thank you for today.
I've never gone to bed feeling this good.
It's only a start!
It'll be like this everyday.
Probably not.
Ji-hoon.
Do you want me to ask the orphanage if you can stay another day?
You can do whatever you want, and I'll buy whatever you want.
A family.
That's what I want.
A family.
(MY DAD, HAN JI-HOON)
(SOLOMON'S PERJURY EPISODE 9)
I was just like you.
I thought I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't think about getting away or running away.
But...
I lost something so precious.
I regret it with my life.
That night...
Why didn't I run away with my mom?
Why didn't I report my dad a little sooner?
Why...
Was it only me who survived.
I regret how I was when I was seven, to the point of hating myself.
But you...
You still have a chance.
Hey, Choi...
Thank you for your cooperation. You can go home now.
What did she say?
Everything.
She talked about Mr. Choi's connection to Fireworks Artisan.
Though it'll hurt him?
I can see it already.
She blew the whistle since his company went out of business.
How scary.
What a family!
That's not all of it.
Mr. Choi has been physical abusive to his wife and to Woo-hyuk.
She couldn't stand it anymore.
Her testimony did help with the investigation, but it's not something
I can just be happy about.
But Han Ji-hoon...
He found out about the Choi family's situation and convinced her to talk
about Fireworks Artisan.
He told her that's the way to prove Woo-hyuk's innocence
and stop Mr. Choi's violence towards her.
Ji-hoon did?
Then when he came to us and talked about Fireworks Artisan...
It wasn't to confirm, it was to give us information.
So we can arrest Mr. Choi.
Just who is he?
Please open the trunk!
Where are we going?
- Be quiet and get on. - Mom!
We can't be seen!
Where are we going?
To the airport, please.
Mom!
- Are you going to keep doing that? - Hm?
You don't have to be so cautious around me just because of my past
I'm the same person, yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
You can act normal.
You can talk to me and make jokes.
Sorry.
I just don't know what to say.
You've been to my house.
How about, "How does it feel to be adopted to a rich family?"
"Do you still inherit the family's wealth if you're adopted?"
Hm?
Come on.
I'm OK.
My dad loves me a lot, and I'm enjoying a lot of things in life.
I'm lucky.
So...
Are you happy?
Sorry about the weird question.
I just wasn't sure if you can recover fully after such a thing.
It gets better.
It will. Trust me.
Choi Woo-hyuk...
You don't think he ran away after all that, right?
What a terrible person if he did!
He was behind the arson to get the insurance money. He's been arrested.
Let's listen to Reporter Kim Do-yoon.
Last January 24th, late night,
there was a huge house fire in Seoul.
A 75-year-old female was killed in the fire.
Is that...
She was the mother of Mr. Choi, the owner of the house.
Isn't that about Woo-hyuk's father that's on the news?
How crazy! He set the house on fire to get money?
What a family! Like father, like son!
- Choi Woo-hyuk should leave our school. - Let's get signatures to kick him out!
Ko Seo-yeon's here.
Your father's a detective?
You know anything about the fire?
Have you heard anything? Did Woo-hyuk take part in it?
That's enough.
- Seo-yeon! - Let's talk later.
We have class. Let's do it later.
Oh... OK.
I don't believe this.
The parents came here and made a huge scene just now.
Am I a principal or just someone who gets blamed for everything?
Mr. Han. I think we should give up on Choi Woo-hyuk.
There's a limit to how much we can protect him.
This isn't just about Choi Woo-hyuk.
You know how his father is.
He's already arrested and if we're not careful,
he might say things we don't want him to say.
Yes, he's right.
It can also become a bad precedence of how the school treats a VIP student.
Admission is already cut to half!
But...
This isn't so certain,
but there's a rumor that the former principal is trying to contact the
students involved in the school trial.
What? Why would he do that?
- Is he going to testify? - We're trying to find out.
Is the school policy being edited?
Yes.
Shut down the trial club after this school trial.
If they protest, follow the policy and procedure.
To the policy?
Will you really expel them?
I knew this was going to happen!
Prosecutors!
Even if you want to punish someone up,
you need to do so with flexibility, in order, and in a humane way.
Choi Woo-hyuk fled because it was too much for him to handle! All in one session!
How's that our fault? It's because of his dad!
Hey guys.
Did you guys eat?
Who wants to trade a fried chicken wing with a grilled one?
You can eat all of it.
Wow, Min-seok!
What is this? What about us?
Want us to starve to death? Hm?
It's OK Seung-hyun, I'll order more, don't worry.
Oh, that's OK.
I'm sure we'll get some snacks on our way back.
Yes, perfectly normal for teenagers.
You're hungry no matter how much you eat, you're sleepy no matter how much you sleep.
Lots to laugh about, lots to cry over.
But guys...
Can we...
Put the trial on hold for a bit?
Not to quit completely.
But the situation is too serious right now.
It was never good anyways.
It's a little different this time.
After Woo-hyuk's family incident,
the trial lost its balance.
Prosecutors will have a huge power,
but no one will believe the defense no matter what it says.
Throughout that process, Woo-hyuk will be hurt the most.
I know that he hasn't been a good friend to you.
I know he's done some terrible things.
But...
He's still a student to me.
It's not protection that he needs right now.
He needs to experience having someone on his side and to fight with him.
The fact that someone is on his side,
someone is making an effort for his sake,
he needs to personally see it and hear it.
That's why I believe the trial should go on.
Especially more so in this situation.
We'll discuss it too.
OK.
You're very mysterious.
Why are you involved in this trial?
I'm responsible for it.
Lee So-woo's friend who's hiding from the school, media, and the police!
Do you really believe that Lee So-woo had a chance to begin with?
- Hey. - Yes?
Bring the entire Lee So-woo incident file. Everything.
What?
Are you bored?
Help me if you're bored!
Hurry!
The case is closed! We've been at this for months, it's driving me crazy!
It's always me!
I understand.
I'll get back to you. Thank you.
Wait a minute, let me see...
Hello?
I knew you'd call me someday, Detective Oh!
You miss me already, right? Think of me at night?
How can you laugh right now?
You know very well about what's happening in Jeong-guk High School.
It's actually been a relief.
I was worried that someone got mad and burned the house down after seeing my show.
But not at all!
You don't have to look at me like that.
You can't be a reporter and be attached to people.
People are terrible, worse and worse as you get to know them more.
A journalist can't be disappointed every person he meets!
The public can get emotional over cases, but we have to maintain our cool.
Same for you too, no?
So!
What are we doing today?
I'd love it if you called me out to get some drinks, but I don't think that's it.
It's no good news.
You knew that Lee So-woo was admitted to a psychiatric facility before, right?
Yes, because of severe depression. But why?
That hidden friend of Lee So-woo...
I knew they had to have met at an unusual place since his parents or friends
knew the friend's existence.
So I looked up the records at the hospital.
There was a kid his age in the same ward.
Who was it?
Han Ji-hoon.
What?
That's how they met, that's why no one knows about their friendship!
Wait.
I understand about So-woo, but why would Han Ji-hoon be there?
Why would he be admitted to a psychiatric ward?
That, I don't know either.
It's not an easy thing to ask, either.
Wait a minute.
Then he must be Jeong-guk Watchman!
Look,
Lee So-woo's mysterious friend
hid his identity and became Jeong-guk Watchman, and led the trial!
It's perfect!
But it's odd that he's the defense counsel for Choi Woo-hyuk.
Normally, if a friend is killed mysteriously and someone's being blamed,
he should've been on So-woo's side and do everything he can to find out
what happened to him.
But!
Why did he become the defense counsel?
And claim that Woo-hyuk is innocent, and So-woo killed himself?
I can't figure that out.
OK. Thanks for the tip.
- I'll look into it. - No, it's not about that.
I can't trust you. You sit still, I'll meet him.
What Ms. Kim was saying makes sense, too.
I only thought to go strong after the accusing letter's validity was questioned.
I didn't consider how Woo-hyuk might feel.
It's true that I only saw one thing.
I was careless.
It's not like you made something up or exaggerate something trivial.
From the judge's point of view, you did nothing wrong.
He's right. Don't blame yourself.
It's not about feeling guilty.
I'm questioning the direction I'm taking.
First, I thought the trial would give the answer.
Like digging a tunnel,
if the prosecutors and the defense counsel keep digging from both sides,
we'd meet in the middle where the truth is.
But we're off. The focus is no longer about the incident, but
it's about Choi Woo-hyuk.
That's something Woo-hyuk expected.
I told him the day before the trial.
I told him if he didn't come on trial, people will forget the incident over time.
But everything will surface up once he comes on trial.
I told him it may make things even more difficult.
Then?
He still wanted to.
He said it's even more tormenting that no one believes him.
Anyone can claim innocence based on emotion.
Even if that worked for you guys, it doesn't work on us.
There's no evidence for us to believe him.
His alibi is a lie!
Just because he can't say it, it doesn't mean that he committed the crime.
You also claimed he's guilty based on emotions, too.
You don't have solid evidence.
Lee So-woo's call records that night.
The witness did not point out Choi Woo-hyuk.
But it may be that he just can't remember because it had been a few months already.
Choi Woo-hyuk could've had someone call for him.
It's just a theory, but it explains why the kid was crying.
Choi Woo-hyuk is not so meticulous and calculative.
Then who was it?
If Lee So-woo really killed himself and Woo-hyuk had nothing to do with it
as you claim,
who could possibly be that kid who was talking to So-woo on the phone, crying?
Tell me what you think.
We'll have to find out eventually.
Through the trial.
(PRIVATE FOLDER)
Ji-hoon.
Who do you think is
the unhappiest one here?
Not sure.
This prisoner who's being taken?
I think this one.
The bird on the gallows.
(STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL TREATMENT)
I'm not sure what about Han Ji-hoon that bothers me so much.
Do you know anything about him?
Jeong-guk Arts High School, second grade, majoring in cello.
Besides those things.
No, I don't know much either.
Why?
Just...
There are times he feels so distant and unfamiliar.
But it's so cold today!
Do I have a fever?
What? Let me see.
Oh... I'm... Not sure.
Your hand is too warm.
It was hot like a furnace!
That's a good thing.
It means your blood circulation is working well.
Get home and sleep early tonight.
Don't worry.
You don't become the first in class with brain.
It's with physical strength!

Seo-yeon!
Seo-yeon, you're not going to eat?
Seo-yeon, what's wrong?
What's wrong?
Seo-yeon! Seo-yeon!
She's burning up!
Honey! Honey!
She's so hot.
What is it?
Carry her!
Seo-yeon!
She's hospitalized?
Yes, she won't be in school today. Her mom called.
Don't work too hard with studying and the school trial,
take some time to rest since you're still on break.
Let's get ready for class.
What, why?
Don't you know anything about Seo-yeon?
If she's hospitalized, it means she's sick to the point of near death!
Oh no...
Kim Min-seok, what are you doing? Aren't we in the same club?
We're not doctors, how does it help if we go there?
What if we get sick too?
Shut up and just come. Hurry!
That trial is causing so much trouble!
Of course she gets sick, she's constantly working on the trial day and night!
Don't you need to get to work?
I told them to take care of it.
What kind of porridge does she like?
Beef or...
Oh, abalone.
With a lot of side dish, like radish.
OK.
Hurry back!
Hello!
Oh, yes.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Our teacher told us that Seo-yeon's at the hospital.
We skipped class and came here.
Is Seo-yeon OK?
She just fell asleep.
- You can go in and see her. - Thank you!
How did you get dragged here? You don't go to her school.
They said they'll kick me out if I don't come.
Those kids...
Then...
Defense Counsel.
I think it's my turn to help.
Good job! Drink it all.
It's so bitter!
Next is ginseng.
Again?
You're turning me into a ginseng!
Yes.
You better drink everything we brought. We won't leave until you fart ginseng.
Here, say ah...
Where did you go?
The bathroom.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
They got me IV and I slept. I feel better now.
I might fly around in the trial tomorrow!
Trial? You're sick!
You were completely drained that you passed out!
That's why I'm being recharged.
The power of modern medicine!
I really feel fine.
How amazing!
Why do you always work so hard in everything you do?
You never want to take naps or play games?
You can be honest.
I'm amazed that you think it's amazing.
I'm responsible for this, why shouldn't I work hard for it?
Don't expect these kids to understand things like that.
Only I can understand, your competition to be the top of the class.
Not a competition. You've never beaten me before.
The math test last year September, I got 96%!
And I got a 100.
Oh no, how embarrassing!
Where are you going?
Min-seok!
Seo-yeon, I couldn't talk to you yesterday but...
First...
Get some rest.
How shocking!
But how does he know your dad?
That I'm not sure. He just asked for my contact so he can testify.
I saved his number but what should we do? What do I say?
Tell him we'd like to meet him, first thing tomorrow.

(THE THIRD DAY OF TRIAL)
Prosecutors, the witness list...
What is it that you want to say?
I'd rather say it in court.
We have to know so we can prepare the examination.
Just know this much about the relationship between Lee So-woo and the school.
This is going to be huge, right?
Yes, there's absolutely no need to work hard in this country.
It's all about who you know, what school you're from!
I'm not sure about this.
It's great that he's testifying but...
His purpose isn't to testify, but it's to expose secrets.
When did you stop trusting people so much?
You're a true prosecutor!
Let's hurry, we'll be late!
How have you been?
You can't tell us the witness list again?
No.
You better be ready! Defense Counsels.
Woo-hyuk never showed up?
I think we'll have to move on without him.
What is it? We don't understand.
Yes. What is it?
A trial without the defendant present is called a judgment by default.
Didn't you go over it while preparing?
It's always like this for us.
No jury on the first day of trial,
a fight breaks out on the second day,
it'd be odd if the third day went without a hitch.
Let's do our best today too!
Let's do our best today, too!
He didn't do it, we gotta do it again.
Let's do our best today, too!
What's this?
What's all this? Maybe we've got fans since we're so good-looking!
Ah, the taste of fame!
Where's he going?
Choi Woo-hyuk.
No need to overreact.
It's not because of you I'm back.
Thanks.
And...
Don't ever forget.
I'm on your side.
Whatever.
Let's all be seated.
There's something I'd like to tell you before we begin.
This is a judgment by default trial, it'll be done without the defendant...
Choi Woo-hyuk's here?
He's really here?
Correction.
Defendant, please come in.
How can he show his face here?
Silence!
We'll begin the examination.
Prosecutor, please bring in the first witness.
Witness, you can come in.
One second.
(THE PRINCIPAL)
(THE PERSON YOU'RE TRYING TO REACH ISN'T AVAILABLE...)
What is it? Why isn't he coming in?
His phone's off.
Prosecutor, what's going on?
First...
Let's skip this witness.
We'll postpone hearing Prosecutor's first witness.
Defense Counsel, please bring in your first witness.
Thank you for coming.
Please swear an oath.
Dad?
Why are you testifying?
Objection!
The witness has nothing to do with the Lee So-woo incident.
He's relevant to the defendantâ€™s alibi.
Is that true?
I swear this oath.
I swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, based on my conscience.
We'll check for some information before we begin the examination.
Are you Detective Ko Sang-joon, the head of the finance team in
Southern Region Police Department?
Yes.
I'd also like to clarify my position here before examination.
I was not the one who was requested by the defense counsel to testify.
I've heard that testimony, and am here to deliver it.
That's hearsay evidence!
Was there ever a time hearsay evidence was banned in this court?
I am willing to testify with all sincerity to the questions of Prosecutor and Defense
Counsel alike.
But there may be some questions I refuse to answer, as the case is still pending.
Please understand that it doesn't mean I consider this school trial lightly.
Let's begin.
OK.
Can you tell us of whom you're here on behalf?
No, I can't say the name or related information of the person.
Then how should we address this person during examination?
Let's call him, "Fireworks Artisan," that's what he goes by anyways.
Understood.
Then, what is the reason Fireworks Artisan couldn't be here in person today?
It's because he's been arrested after committing a crime.
What crime did he commit?
Arson, at a building where there were people inside.
He set a building on fire on purpose while people were in the building.
When and where did the fire take place?
The 24th of last month.
It was the defendant's house.
Why did Fireworks Artisan set his house on fire?
He was commissioned.
Who commissioned him?
I cannot answer that question.
Who, when, and how he was commissioned is the key in the ongoing criminal case.
It's already been reported in the media.
But still.
Please remember that I am a police officer before being a witness.
OK.
Have you heard of the term, "forced demolition"?
Yes.
That's what Fireworks Artisan does.
He purposely sets buildings on fire and receives insurance money.
Some media reports suggested that it was a crime committed with an evil
intention to receive insurance money.
But that's not true.
Mr. Choi, the recipient of the compensation,
has closed the account immediately after the incident, thus refusing to
receive payment.
He doesn't want to receive money for his mother's death.
The original intent of their crime
was not for the insurance money, but a forced demolition.
They wanted the land.
Could you elaborate a little further?
Mr. Choi, who commissioned Fireworks Artisan for this work.
wanted to tear down the house and build a building there instead.
But Mr. Choi's mother, the owner of the land, refused.
They could not come to an agreement and in the mean time, his business suffered.
That's when Mr. Choi made the decision.
The extreme measure of arson?
Yes. If the house is no longer there, they'll be forced to build something.
It was a sure thing.
But...
If you set the house on fire,
there's the risk of the fire spreading
as well as people getting hurt.
That's why Mr. Choi went with a professional like Fireworks Artisan.
A professional?
Yes.
It's not just that he sets things on fire often,
but he's got a method of his own.
He's a skilled expert in this matter.
He even plans for the escape route for those in the building.
But he also designs the fire to spread so that it's all burned down before
the fire department gets there.
That's why he's called, "Fireworks Artisan."
But he failed in the defendant's house.
He said it was an accident.
He visited Mr. Choi's residence three times so that no one will be hurt.
He prepared a meticulous plan.
Please tell us the dates of his visit.
November 15th, December 4th,
and December 25th of last year.
Christmas, December 25th.
What did Fireworks Artisan do in the defendant's house?
He went over the final plan with Mr. Choi.
Then he went around the house one last time.
And then?
Around midnight,
he saw Choi Woo-hyuk.
Can you prove it?
I cannot tell you who he is.
But there is a witness who saw them meet each other.
And we also have a testimony from Fireworks Artisan himself.
I can submit a copy of that testimony.
To summarize,
around midnight on the night Lee So-woo died, Christmas,
the defendant was home, not at the crime scene.
Thus, it was impossible for the defendant to have murdered Lee So-woo.
He's innocent! Innocent! His alibi was proven true!
Woo-hyuk's alibi is proven. Game over.
Thank you.
I'll finish my examination here.
Cross-examination, Prosecutor?
- Then we'll have a 30-minute recess. - No.
I'll go on with cross-examination.
Seo-yeon?
I am Prosecutor Ko Seo-yeon.
I'll begin the examination.
OK.
Witness.
You said you're here on behalf of Fireworks Artisan.
Does that mean you've received this testimony from him, and you're
speaking on behalf of him?
Yes.
Fireworks Artisan is a criminal who's set fire on houses for money.
Isn't it possible then that he would receive money from Mr. Choi to
give testimony that'll benefit the defendant?
They have no way of contacting each other at this point.
Fireworks Artisan committed murder.
How credible is a testimony of a person like that?
I cannot answer that question.
Why not?
Isn't it because you yourself cannot believe his testimony?
I'm not sure if this will help the trial, but can I mention something?
Yes.
By the law, a crime is constituted as a murder
when a person ended the life of another person by a certain action
with the intent of killing that person at the moment of the incident.
There are two types of murders:
One, there was a clear intent to kill the victim.
The criminal might have planned ahead how to kill,
prepared a weapon... Something that proves the intent to kill.
Two,
murder by willful negligence.
That's right.
That's when an action was taken knowing that someone may be hurt or killed.
And when there is fatality as a result, this type of murder is applied.
- Do you understand this? - Not sure.
Prosecutors are asserting that Fireworks Artisan committed murder
by willful negligence.
But Fireworks Artisan is asserting that he had no intention to kill.
This is the key argument of this case.
No judgment has been determined regarding this.
Thus, I cannot give an answer to Prosecutor's question regarding
whether or not he committed murder.
Do you understand?
I'll finish cross-examination here.
Examine the defendant?
Yes.
Defense Counsel requests to put the defendant on the stand.
Any objections, Prosecutor?
No.
Sustained.
Defendant, please take your seat at the witness stand.
What is this? Why?
Sit there.
Your alibi has been confirmed through the witness testimony earlier.
What do you think this means?
What do you think? It means I'm innocent.
Please answer clearly.
That I am innocent.
I didn't kill Lee So-woo.
That's true.
The defendant did not kill Lee So-woo.
Then how did you get here with that suspicion?
Why are you asking me, you already know!
Please answer.
It's because of the letter of accusation, I was falsely blamed.
Why do you think that happened?
In other words, do you understand why the letter of accusation was written?
Why would the person who wrote the letter to falsely accuse you?
I don't know.
- You should ask Joo-ri yourself. - I'm asking for your opinion.
You never wondered why you were being accused?
Jury, please remember that the defendant could not answer the previous question.
Defense Counsel!
I'll move on to the next question.
The defendant can only answer by saying yes or no.
Han Ji-hoon!
Last March,
did you rip up the gym clothes of Class 1-5?
- What is... - Yes or no.
Did you rip up the gym clothes of Class 1-5 last March?
No answer then.
Next question.
Last April, you kicked a female student on her way home to make her trip.
Then threw her bag on the streets.
Ji-hoon!
Last June, you stopped a student on the street and drew on his face by force.
Then you took pictures of his face and posted on the Internet.
That's got nothing to do with this trial!
Last June, did you offer to pay someone money to drink the toilet water?
No.
Last September, did you throw a rock at a girl's face and leave a scar?
- No! - I'll keep going.
Last October, did you spit on a female student's hair?
And when that student protested,
did you take her phone away and lock her up in the shower room?
Did you know that she was found a whole day later by the janitor?
Good to be clean, right?
- I told you, I'll wash you clean. - All gone now!
All clean now.
Open the door!
Defendant.
How many times have you used violence in school?
You can take a guess.
How many times?
Whether you hit someone, kicked someone, tripped someone, trampled,
not just those types of physical violence,
but also things like calling someone a derogatory name,
but saying things like, "Die," "I'll kill you," "I'll have you kicked out of school,"
so counting verbal abuse with words.
How many times, do you think?
100?
200?
I... Don't know.
300?
500?
I said I don't know!
Too many to count?
I was kidding.
I was only kidding.
While you thought it was a joke,
do you remember how the victims were acting?
Do you remember their faces, their words?
Did they enjoy it as much as you did?
Did they laugh like you?
Did they ever scream that it hurts?
Beg you to stop?
Didn't they protest in tears?
You're right, you're falsely accused.
It was done by a false letter of accusation and a biased media report.
Then!
Why did that happen?
Isn't it because of the hatred of the students who'd rather lie to get you out
of this school?
You continued to ridicule, criticize, belittle, verbal and physical violence!
The result of your wrongdoings
put you in this position. Don't you think?
Stop it.
Have you ever tried to understand the victims? Even once?
You trampled all over others' dignity and personal rights,
yet so confident with your family's wealth as your shield.
Can you understand what it feels like to watch you being that way?
I told you to stop!
Who, why, and how the letter of accusation was written are just issues on surface.
It could've been anyone in this school to trap the defendant.
It's a brutal lie with ill intention.
But the letter of accusation was a form of self-defense.
I'll finish my examination here.
My backpack!
Why are you doing this?
Drink it!
No?
Drink it!
Drink it, I'll pay you!
3 points!
I'm sorry.
No, no, no!
Who says the letter's a lie?
I saw it, I saw it!
I saw Choi Woo-hyuk curse So-woo and push him off the roof!
You have evidence, that sound!
That sound on the ledge, I heard it because I was there.
Otherwise it can't be explained, right?
It's because you heard it when you went up there, not Lee So-woo.
No
No, no! I saw it!
Choi Woo-hyuk is a murderer! He should never be forgiven!
Don't ask for pity like that. You need to die!
A person like you should just die! You must never be forgiven!
(SOLOMON'S PERJURY)
- Cho-rong! - Are you OK now?
I saw the trial. I really wanted to tell you this.
So-woo wouldn't just kill himself like that. Something must've happened.
- It's got something to do with the school. - What did he find out?
Come out on trial and tell us.
What? The fourth trial?
A male student? That night?
Jeong-guk Watchman sent it to me this morning.
Who is he? Why did he run this way?
Is he not from our school?
The three trials alone are enough for expulsion.
We might get kicked out of school. Isn't it weird that nothing happens to you?
You'll go on with the trial, right?
I'll finish it, even if I have to do it by myself.
