(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
Honey.
What are you doing?
What is that?
Honey, this is...
It's Seon Ho's cell phone.
Pack only what you need right now.
I'll bring the rest later.
Am I leaving tomorrow?
Aunt is going to be at the airport when you get there.
So don't worry.
Dad said nothing will happen.
He said it'd all be all right. Why do I have to run away?
You are not running away.
Then what is this?
Why are you telling me to leave tomorrow out of the blue?
You're just leaving a few days earlier than planned.
It's what your dad decided.
I don't want to leave like this.
Just do as I say!
Why do I have to run away because of what you did?
What are you talking about?
I heard...
the security guy died from a hit-and-run.
So?
Do you...
No way.
You could do it.
What?
Am I wrong?
How could you... How could you say that...
No. No, Joon Seok.
It was just a hit-and-run?
It just happened by chance?
Darn it.
You're no human being. You're crazy.
Tell the truth.
- About what? - Everything!
Tell the truth about it.
You sexually assaulted and blackmailed Da Hee.
Tell the adults everything.
I said it wasn't me!
Don't you believe me?
Don't you believe your friend?
Friend?
I'm not your friend.
You look down on me.
Because I put up with you,
you think I'm easy.
You coward.
You hypocrite.
You are...
an evil jerk.
Yes.
I did it. I did it!
Is that what you wanted to hear?
Why did you do it?
No. I didn't do it!
Why did you do it to Da Hee? Why?
I said I didn't do it!
(The Law of the Circle)
It was really an accident.
No. Seon Ho...
He fell on his own.
In front of Joon Seok's eyes,
he fell on his own.
Please.
Please pretend like you didn't see anything.
If you'll do that for me,
I'll do anything for you.
I'll pay you as much as you want.
However much you want, I'll get you the money.
If you want me to sign a contract, I will. Please?
Please, I beg of you.
- Ma'am. - My Joon Seok.
He's only 16 years old.
He can't deal with something like this.
I will consider you my lifesaver forever.
Please help me out.
I talked to the commissioner.
He'll wrap things up. Don't worry.
Keep yourself together.
I can't live if I stay sane.
I need to drink...
to be able to breathe.
Not now.
Once it's all over, I won't care what you do.
Hang in until then.
The threatening messages from the kids are still in there.
- Send it to digital forensics. - Okay.
And send Seo Eun Joo and Oh Joon Seok their summons.
Got it.
We'll investigate everything that was deleted too.
That goes for Joon Seok's phone too.
Will Joon Seok be questioned by...
the Women's and Juvenile Affairs Division?
No. Since we have an incriminating audio file,
we can make this a penal case.
It won't be easy to prove intentions with just an audio file.
If Joon Seok insists it was an accident,
what happens then?
Do you think Joon Seok had intentions to kill?
Based only on the audio, I'm not sure.
It's clear that Seo Eun Joo covered things up.
We'll interrogate her and Oh Joon Seok then update you.
Okay.
And...
I didn't tell you before,
but a while ago,
I met Da Hee's parents.
Da Hee's parents?
Yes.
I think Da Hee told Seon Ho that Joon Seok assaulted her,
but her parents said something else.
Is it true?
There really was evidence in Seon Ho's phone?
Yes.
Really? What was it? What kind of evidence was it?
Soo Ho, will you calm down?
Was he with Joon Seok that night?
Did Joon Seok push him?
It wasn't an accident, was it?
We can't tell that from it.
But there is evidence that puts Joon Seok there with him.
Yes.
That scumbag.
Then we can reveal everything, right?
Since we have evidence,
we clear his name, right?
Yes.
That's great.
It's such a relief.
Did you hear that?
We can reveal everything.
You just have to wake up now.
Stay strong.
I'll go and call Dong Hee.
Call her here.
What are you doing?
I thought there were no deities.
I guess there are.
What do you mean?
They found Seon Ho's cell phone.
Really?
Yes. And the evidence was on it too.
That's great.
Mr. Park will be so pleased.
Dong Soo.
There is something I want to do.
What?
I'll become a teacher.
Why a teacher of all things?
What's wrong with that?
Aren't you sick of school?
You have no good memories.
I can become a teacher that gives students good memories.
Like Seon Ho's dad.
If you become like Mr. Park,
you'll always lose out on things.
Don't say that when you like him.
I don't like him.
I'm starving.
Come inside. You will catch a cold in this weather.
I can go to the airport alone.
Do you have everything?
Yes.
(Detective Park Seung Man)
Who is it?
It's Detective Park.
Don't take it.
Call him when you return from the airport.
(Detective Park Seung Man)
This is Oh Jin Pyo.
You can talk to me.
A summons?
I don't know what this is about, but I can't talk now.
Let's talk later...
- What did you just say? - I'm in front of your house.
It seems like you're about to go somewhere.
Your wife needs to come with us to the police station.
Joon Seok also needs to come with us.
What's going on?
What is it?
(Commissioner Lee Seong Min)
Hello, sir. This is Oh Jin Pyo.
Detective Park is in front of our house...
with a summons right now.
What is going on right now?
What happened?
They found Seon Ho's cell phone.
They have a recording of Joon Seok's conversation with Seon Ho...
and also the conversation you had with Shin Dae Gil.
What's going to happen...
to Joon Seok now?
If you want to protect Joon Seok, you must do as I say.
The police will try to find whether the accident was intentional or not.
I couldn't...
think properly in that situation.
I knew it was an accident,
but I was so scared and startled.
So I wasn't in my right mind.
Is that why you purposely made it seem like a suicide attempt?
No, it was accidental.
But you were meticulous enough to tie his shoelaces...
and even got rid of the CCTV footage.
I did put his shoes there,
but I didn't tie the shoelaces.
And I didn't know he got rid of the CCTV footage.
I wasn't even able to think that far in that situation.
I found out later on that the security officer got rid of it.
Don't try to put the blame on the dead.
You need to be honest.
I'm telling the truth.
I even called 911 to report the situation.
But I suddenly got reminded of Joon Seok,
and that's why I looked for him first.
911 will have a record of her phone call.
You should check.
Whatever the case, you still purposely concealed what happened.
You gave money to Shin Dae Gil...
and made him take care of the situation.
It's true that I gave him money,
but I never asked him to take care of anything.
All I wanted to do was leave the scene.
I didn't think far enough about what to do...
with the CCTV of the shoelaces.
Did you ever give him money after what happened?
She got threatened by Shin Dae Gil.
You got threatened?
Ms. Seo had no choice but to give him money...
for the sake of her son's future.
Do you have evidence to prove that you got threatened?
- That's... - I asked Ms. Seo.
I don't have any evidence.
But it's true.
He threatened that he'll reveal...
everything in the cell phone if I didn't pay him.
You can't put the blame on someone who's dead.
I'm only telling you the truth.
Things came this far...
because adults tried to conceal what happened between the kids.
If you reported the situation,
Seon Ho would be in school right now.
Joon Seok wouldn't have had to experience this either.
You need to be honest...
for the sake of your son.
It's all my fault.
Joon Seok knows nothing.
I knew...
what I was doing was wrong.
But I wasn't in my right mind back then.
I'm a mother, so I only thought about Joon Seok.
I thought...
no one would believe that it was an accident.
So I did it for Joon Seok.
It was all my fault. I'm the one who did it.
I'm the one at fault.
I don't think she can continue with her testimony.
She's emotionally unstable,
and she's even taking medication for depression...
Is that why you hired the hit-and-run driver?
No, I know nothing about that.
Then was it your husband?
We will make an official complaint about what you just said.
Did your husband hire the hit-and-run driver?
My husband...
knew nothing about that.
He only found out...
about what happened this morning.
It was an accident.
I really didn't know that Seon Ho would fall.
Who first asked to meet at the rooftop?
Don't get scared.
Just say it was an accident.
Tell them that Seon Ho asked you to meet first.
It really was an accident.
And Seon Ho really was the one who asked to meet first.
That's exactly what you need to say.
Do you not believe me too?
That doesn't matter.
Listen to me carefully.
It was an accident.
And you saw nothing...
because you did what your mom told you to do and stayed in the car.
And I found out about it today.
You never continuously bullied Seon Ho either.
It all just happened accidentally due to Seon Ho's misunderstanding.
Okay?
Seon Ho was the one who asked me to meet.
- You need to tell the truth. - It's the truth.
Seon Ho asked me to meet him when we were at the academy.
You can ask Young Chul. He heard it all.
We'll check if he did.
Did you also act as a leader...
and continuously bully Seon Ho?
I never did such a thing.
We have texts that you guys sent to Seon Ho in his cell phone.
We'll be investigating your phone including the others',
so you need to tell the truth.
That's just an inside joke we always used to make.
An inside joke?
Yes.
But I never hit him.
Seon Ho also hit me first that day because of his misunderstanding.
That's what led us to fight which eventually led to the accident.
Why didn't you call 911 after the accident?
My mom said she'll take care of everything...
and told me to stay in her car.
You just said you guys fought due to Seon Ho's misunderstanding.
- Was it about Jung Da Hee? - It really wasn't me.
Da Hee is lying. You should ask her.
We'll be investigating that.
What are you doing?
If you keep coercing him like this...
based on another kid's words with no evidence,
I will not let it slide.
Coerce?
He is underage, and this is a juvenile case.
This should obviously be handled by Women's and Juvenile...
There are suspicions that imply that this could be a violent crime.
That's why the Violent Crimes Team is handling it.
What do you mean "violent crime"?
It was just an accident.
Ms. Seo.
You'll have to come again.
So don't go anywhere far away for the time being.
You should just rest at home.
Don't think about sending Joon Seok anywhere either.
Get in the car.
What are you doing?
So they're trying to keep on saying...
that it was just a coincidence.
I can't say more since I'm still investigating.
Anyways it's a fact that they manipulated the evidence...
and offered a bribe, right?
Right.
What exactly was on the cell phone?
Did you check if he was consistently bullied?
I said I'm investigating it.
What about the hit-and-run criminal?
I heard there was a witness.
Why can't you do custody investigation...
when the evidence is this clear?
Except for ex-convicts,
we investigate without detention by the rules.
Above all, the director of Seah Foundation,
Oh Jin Pyo is providing a personal reference.
Even if we did request a warrant, it will be rejected.
Did she admit to it?
Did she admit to bribing people to cover the case...
and disguising the incident as suicide?
She admitted that she bribed people,
but she claims she was blackmailed.
Blackmailed?
Yes.
She admitted to moving Seon Ho's sneakers,
but she is denying that...
she tied the shoelaces nor ordered to erase the footage.
Whatever the case is,
it's true she disguised it as suicide.
It is true.
But what matters is the intentionality.
What do you mean by that?
We'll have to investigate further,
but Seo Eun Joo claims that she was confused,
thought Seon Ho had died,
and accidentally moved the sneakers to the roof.
She was afraid what her son might be accused of.
Accidental?
Accidental or not,
if she disguised it as suicide,
she needs to be properly punished.
You're right.
But by law, if you can't prove the intentionality,
the punishment is lessened.
What did Oh Jin Pyo say?
He said he never knew.
We want his parents to pay harsh penalties, not Joon Seok.
Joon Seok is still a minor...
and has a long life to live.
His parents were the ones who did worse things.
I agree with you.
For Seo Eun Joo,
her charges of bribery and destroying evidence are proven.
Her case will be transferred to the prosecution.
You said the punishment will weaken. How weak are they?
Due to domestic relations,
she will most likely be fined...
in extenuation.
She will be fined?
The worst charge they have now is...
inciting the murder of Shin Dae Gil.
Keep a low profile for a while,
and be quiet.
Don't even call me.
I'll give you enough money to spend your whole life, so lay low!
Did you find Shin Dae Gil's son?
No. Just don't move and stay low for a while.
Don't be too disappointed.
Their incitement of a hit-and-run will be revealed.
Call Choi Ji Kyung to meet.
If the law refuses to punish them,
we'll have to do what we can.
In Ha isn't...
picking up her phone.
We are going to meet at the hospital.
Is something wrong?
A detective called just a moment ago.
He said he had some questions...
and wanted me to bring Young Chul to the station.
What's going on?
Seon Ho's cell phone was found.
Seon Ho's cell phone?
I asked a friend of mine at the police,
and apparently, the evidence that Joon Seok was with Seon Ho...
on that day was found in Seon Ho's cell phone.
So, Joon Seok pushed Seon Ho?
My goodness. And Joon Seok pretended...
like he didn't know anything when he's the one who killed him?
Whether it was an accident or not has not been figured out yet.
- Joon Seok says it was an accident. - See?
Gi Chan was right after all.
Gi Chan told me Joon Seok was the ringleader...
What's important is...
that Joon Seok is responsible for Seon Ho's accident,
and it was proven that our kids are innocent.
Gi Chan is the only one who's innocent!
Since Sung Jae and Young Chul lied to them.
They should be punished!
It's all done with.
And Sung Jae was also threatened by Joon Seok.
He was threatened not to tell Joon Seok was the ringleader.
Strictly speaking, Sung Jae was also a victim of school violence.
A victim, my foot?
Our Gi Chan is a man now.
A man should not tell lies just because he was threatened.
How did you manage to raise your son so weak?
That's what I'm saying.
We were here to help you.
This is pointless.
What do you mean help?
You have your own lawyer. You can discuss with him.
Hey,
Come on. Tell me.
So why do the police want to see us again?
Are they investigating all over again?
Gosh. Will you just tell me?
It's not about the video.
They're trying to figure out if they bullied Seon Ho consistently.
You'll have to answer them very carefully.
Da Hee pointed out...
someone else as the attacker.
I heard from the police that you're denying the incident itself.
Call the police for Da Hee' sake...
and reveal the truth.
Just forget about it.
Why would Da Hee lie?
(Areum Library)
The librarian remembered Seon Ho exactly.
Seon Ho wasn't able to meet Da Hee that day.
I told you Da Hee was lying.
The police are going to investigate Da Hee.
So you have to tell me the truth.
Let them investigate.
Are you sure it's not true?
Are you not trusting me again?
It's not that I don't trust you, I'm merely trying to check.
I just can't understand why Da Hee would...
lie about that.
If you're so curious, ask her yourself.
- Joon Seok. - Ask her yourself!
Why are you being upset?
It's perfectly normal for me to ask you!
You and Dad don't believe me anyway.
That's not true.
I know you guys don't believe me.
Joon Seok.
But I don't care.
You guys will cover up whatever I do wrong.
Who cares if you believe me or not?
That won't happen anymore.
That night...
What I did was wrong.
I thought it was for your sake,
but I was wrong.
I did wrong.
Then call the police.
What Da Hee said is true.
So call the police.
Why on earth are you like this?
- What am I doing? - Don't do this.
I know that...
I put you under more stress.
I also know that you hate and resent me.
But you can't ruin yourself for that.
You can hate me.
You can blame me all you want.
But please, don't ruin yourself.
I just need you to be happy.
How does that even make sense?
How can I be happy?
How can I be happy when I feel so anxious and distressed?
Could you be happy if you were me?
Now, even if I say it was an accident,
no one believes me.
That's not true.
Even you and Dad don't believe me,
who would?
I believe you.
I don't believe you.
I don't care.
Happiness? Who cares about that?
I'll be successful.
If I become successful enough that no one can touch me,
that's it.
It contains all the recordings on Seon Ho's cell phone.
You should know the exact circumstances to write about it.
I had a gist of what had happened,
but I was stuck because I had no facts.
Thank you.
I'd like to ask for a favor.
My wife insisted.
Go ahead.
In there is a recording of Seon Ho and Joon Seok's conversation.
They mention another student.
And?
You are not to mention anything about that other student.
Even if you make an assumption, you are not to mention her.
I understand.
And I'd like the article to focus not on Joon Seok...
but his parents,
the adults who covered everything up.
I must mention Joon Seok because he was directly involved.
I get that.
And he should pay the price for what he did.
But this blew up out of proportions...
because of the adults.
Joon Seok is still a minor...
and has a long life to live.
Once the article is published,
things will get very hard for him.
But I don't want him to...
become a target and suffer more than he must.
I told you that...
Oh Jin Pyo and I went to high school together, right?
Yes.
I once told myself that I would kill him.
If I think about how he beat me up then,
I feel murderous urges even in my sleep.
I didn't know.
I looked into his foundation...
because of my personal grudge.
And I paid dearly.
My sexual assault charge.
That was his script.
To be honest, I think Joon Seok should suffer more.
The assailants don't look back and regret.
They might learn only if they experience the same pain.
Anyway, I understand what you said.
Shall we leave?
I don't have much time if I'm to meet my deadline.

Soo Ho, have breakfast.
Is this all true?
You read the article?
Is it true that...
Joon Seok's mom paid someone to stage it as suicide?
Have breakfast. I'll explain everything.
But why won't she go to prison?
When she did something this bad?
Why is she living just fine?
The police are investigating.
There's evidence. The truth is out.
- What more is there to investigate? - There are procedures.
When the police are done, the prosecutors will investigate.
- And then... - I want to kill her.
You can't say that.
They're evil. They aren't human.
Soo Ho.
I don't want to hear anything.
Just one thing.
Seon Ho said this to Dong Hee.
"Don't lose."
We're losing right now.
That's not true. We're fighting.
Not to ruin anyone.
We're fighting to correct what's wrong.
There is right and wrong,
but no winning or losing.
The moment you give up on yourself,
you give up the fight.
- Bye. - Soo Ho.
You said way too much.
- Hey. - Is that him?
You're not a criminal.
It was an accident.
You did nothing wrong.
I can't send him to school.
I'll call your teacher.
Don't go. Do as I say.
Avoiding it won't do anything.
He has to stay at home at least until it dies down.
Running away makes him guilty.
- Honey. - Act with even more dignity.
You're Seah Foundation's heir.
Remember that.
Is that him?
- Is he the one? - How brazen.
- Is he even human? - How dare he come to school?
- Unbelievable. - Are you sure?
He came to school?
He shouldn't have come.
I can't stand him.
I won't forgive you. I won't ever forgive you!
Well done, Soo Ho.
You did well holding back.
Is everything in the article true?
They're investigating. We'll see.
My heart's beating out of my chest.
How could something like this happen?
Will Joon Seok be at school?
I haven't heard that he won't.
Mr. Lee.
Yes?
You know the police asked us to cooperate, right?
I heard they'll question Gi Chan, Sung Jae, and Young Chul.
- About Joon Seok. - Yes?
Don't you think he should study alone in the consultation room?
Is that what the director told you?
I'll be meeting him later.
I know he hasn't been given an official punishment yet,
but the kids will judge.
So don't you think it might put a toll on Joon Seok?
I understand.
He didn't push him on purpose. It was just an accident.
So don't treat him like a criminal.
Okay.
Are you serious?
- It wasn't what we thought. - Gosh.
- You murderer. - You're not even human.
- Be careful when you walk at night. - Just die.
- You evil jerk. - You always used to act so nice.
- What a psychopath. - You jerk.
- Go to prison. - You're so two-faced.
Are you allowed to kill people if you're the director's son?
I think you should study alone...
rather than stay in the classroom.
I didn't even receive an official punishment yet.
That has nothing to do with this.
I just figured it might be hard for you.
I will stay in the classroom.
Stop being stubborn and just do as I say.
It was an accident.
It was really an accident.
So are you saying you did nothing wrong?
You bullied your friend and lied about it until the end.
And the biggest mistake of all...
is that you still don't regret what you did.
Wait in the counseling room. I'll be there soon.
Hey. Joon Seok!
How does that even make sense?
How can I be happy?
How can I be happy when I feel so anxious and distressed?
Would you be happy if you were me?
An extenuation?
Whatever the case, she still committed a crime.
Gosh, this is absurd.
How can they just end it with a fine...
when the evidence is loud and clear?
Nothing has been settled yet.
But it's just so obvious.
Then what about Joon Seok?
If they fail to prove that it was intentional,
will he only get a light punishment?
Then how is that any different to the School Violence Committee?
Nothing is...
for sure yet.
And...
they're already imprisoned for life.
What? What's that supposed to mean?
How are they imprisoned for life?
Who is that?
(Eun Joo)
Hey.
What is it that you need to say?
It was all...
my fault.
Joon Seok...
wanted to tell the truth.
But I told him not to.
I stopped him.
It... It was all my wrongdoing.
I'm sorry.
Do you expect me...
to forgive you at this point?
I'm not asking for your forgiveness.
How could I dare ask you to forgive me?
Then...
why are you suddenly being like this?
Do you suddenly feel sorry...
now that we found evidence?
If you reported it to 911 right away...
If he was...
quickly taken to a hospital,
Seon Ho...
wouldn't be unconscious.
I'm sorry.
I really thought Seon Ho was dead at that moment.
Are you serious?
You're actually saying that as an excuse?
You should've taken him to a hospital!
How could you only think about your son...
when a kid was dying right in front of you?
How could a human being do such a thing?
I'm sorry.
Do you know...
what you've done?
If Seon Ho...
never wakes up,
that will be the same as killing everyone in our family!
Seon Ho, me, Soo Ho,
and Seon Ho's dad!
It'll be the same as killing us all!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
How could you do that?
You of all people!
How could you do this? How?
I'm sorry.
How could you?
She didn't meet Joon Seok?
We checked Joon Seok's cell phone,
and we found that he got a text from Da Hee...
on the date you told us about.
Are you talking about September 19, Da Hee's birthday?
Yes.
Joon Seok must not have shown up that day...
because Da Hee sent him numerous texts...
asking him why he wasn't showing up.
Couldn't they have met later on?
No. Joon Seok texted Da Hee later on in the evening that day.
He told her that he wasn't serious when he said he'll meet.
And that she should stop acting like they're friends...
because he's gotten sick of her.
I even think he might not have raped her.
Are you saying Da Hee lied about everything?
It's very rare, but it does happen sometimes.
But Da Hee has a severe panic disorder...
that she can't even go to school.
She could have a different reason.
Both she and her parents are refusing to press charges.
So there is no way for us to conduct an investigation.
I see.
That's him.
It's true that...
Joon Seok was our ringleader.
Then why didn't you tell the truth in the beginning?
Because I was scared of Joon Seok.
Why are you afraid of him? Did he threaten you or something?
Just tell the truth.
Yes.
But it's not like we bullied Seon Ho all the time.
We saw the messages you guys sent each other.
They were just jokes.
Seon Ho agreed to play the Avengers game.
I told you last time that Joon Seok was the ringleader.
So you've been harassing Seon Ho all this time?
He had no other choice because Joon Seok was threatening...
Stop interrupting and let Gi Chan talk.
Gi Chan.
The hate message was my idea.
He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Stop interrupting, will you?
Did Joon Seok come up with the Avengers game...
and assign everyone a character?
Yes.
It's not true Seon Ho agreed to it, is it?
Be careful what you say...
Cut it out!
Answer me.
We told Seon Ho to come out and meet us.
He said no...
but we told him we'd take Dong Hee instead if he didn't show.
That's why he came.
Let's make it fun. Will you?
This game is getting boring.
This is not a game.
Stop it.
- Nice punch, Thor! - Yes!
This is too good to watch alone. We should record it.
Oh, right.
You jerk.
Looking good, Overdramatic Man.
Hey, men are not supposed to cry.
Sorry, but there won't be another school violence meeting, right?
You remember what I said yesterday, right?
Do not lie!
Tell them what happened honestly.
That's how you'll right the wrong you did to Seon Ho.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Is it true you heard Seon Ho asking Joon Seok...
to meet on the rooftop?
He didn't say the rooftop.
But I heard they were going to meet at Laputa.
Laputa?
Is that what you guys call the school rooftop?
No.
I asked Joon Seok about it later.
But he only said they didn't meet...
and didn't tell me where Laputa is.
Let's call it Laputa from now on.
Laputa from "Castle in the Sky"?
Yes.
A legendary floating castle amid the clouds.
Lying down here like this makes me think of Laputa.
Gosh, you're so childish.
This is some deep stuff.
All right. Tell me about it.
Long story short,
it's a story about a battle between a princess of Laputa...
who wants peace and a villain who tries to take over Laputa.
Things happen, and in the end, Laputa is destroyed.
What kind of an ending is that?
The princess survives and comes back to her land.
The protagonist survives, so it's a happy ending.
Come on. Lie down here.
It makes you feel so good.
We have to go to the academy now.
The wind feels so nice.
Isn't it a bit chilly?
Just a little.
Sorry for holding a meeting so late. I got held up at the other meeting.
I'm sure you were all shocked when you read the article.
Yes, a little.
I apologize for causing you concern.
Is it true what they said in the article?
It's true the accident happened while Joon Seok and Seon Ho argued,
and that my wife got so flustered...
that she just left the scene.
But she didn't intentionally disguise the accident.
Then it was a malicious article.
Are you just going to stay put?
I believe the police will reveal the truth.
The problem is how we should contain the parents' complaints...
and media coverage of criticisms...
until police conclude their investigation.
It'll affect the students as well.
We've received tons of calls from concerned parents.
Of course.
We need someone to sacrifice...
for the good of the school.
I think the school should hurry and show they accept responsibilities.
What do you think?
I'll take responsibility and resign.
Sir!
I do regret that...
you'll have to resign in disgrace...
when your retirement is right around the corner, but...
I'd like to say just one thing.
I think that the person who should take responsibility and resign...
is not the principal but you, Director Oh.
Are you out of your mind?
The responsibility should be borne by someone deserving.
That's the only way we can truly show the parents and the students...
that we are doing everything to rectify the situation.
- Mr. Lee! - It's all right.
Mr. Lee has a point.
It's true my family caused much trouble for the school.
But I'm the owner of Seah Foundation.
An owner can't just abandon his house...
- That's ridiculous. - Mr. Lee.
The owners of the school are students and teachers.
And I'm in charge of them.
I'm not resigning in disgrace.
I'm just ashamed in front of my students that...
I failed to address the situation properly.
I'm deeply sorry.
(A letter of resignation)
I've been keeping this with me for a while now.
Please make sure that...
other teachers do not suffer from this.
Are you saying Da Hee made the whole thing up?
We don't know that...
but it seems like Joon Seok didn't meet her on that day.
(Detective Park)
Yes, detective.
We've gathered enough evidence...
that Joon Seok had been consistently bullying Seon Ho.
What's going to happen now?
Once we transfer the case to juvenile court,
they'll review the case.
I see.
I didn't get to ask earlier...
but did you question Eun Joo about Seon Ho's diary?
It seemed she didn't know...
anything about the diary.
I'll give you a call again.
- What is it? - We found the CCTV footage...
that shows the car that witnessed Shin Dae Gil's hit-and-run.
- Did you find its owner? - Well...
Remember the guy we caught at Ki Deuk Cheol's gambling house?
- Yes? - He's the car owner.
Are you saying Ki Deuk Cheol was in that car?
It's possible.
Because he said they used the car as collateral to gamble.
Where's Joon Seok?
I'm exhausted. Please don't make things worse.
I want a divorce.
I don't need alimony.
I just want custody...
of Joon Seok.
I personally think Dong Hee is a better person for you than Da Hee.
The only problem is that you guys are both way too nice.
I guess there's no fine dust today.
I can see the stars really clearly.
Gosh, I can see them so well.
I wonder what that star is.
You'd know right away if you saw it.
I'm hungry.
It even happened last night.
His oxygen saturation levels keep decreasing.
It means his breathing is unstable.
If it happens frequently, his condition might get worse.
Are you saying he might not be able to breathe on his own?
Mom! Dad! Hurry! Come on!
He moved. He moved his finger.
Seon Ho.
Can you hear me?
Seon Ho.
Answer me. Seon Ho.
Seon Ho. It's me, your dad.
Seon Ho, please stay strong.
It's time for you to wake up now.
Wake up, Seon Ho.
