Wow, the food is really good here!
It's got a nice vibe, too.
(December 24th, Christmas Eve)
You should get a girlfriend and bring her here.
I'll give you my card if you do.
Dad!
I'll be a senior next year, busy for college!
Hey! That doesn't mean you can't have a dinner out with your girlfriend.
(Advert: Learn English Online!)
Is there someone you're waiting for?
Oh... So-woo.
I think he's having some issues lately.
So-woo?
Yes.
He hasn't been in school and I can't get a hold of him.
I think he's starting to be depressed again.
But I don't know how to help him.
Don't stress about it.
It happens pretty often, doesn't it?
He'll be fine soon.
It's a little different this time.
He keeps telling me things I don't understand.
It's as if he's a completely different person.
But Dad,
you seem very tired these days.
Maybe we can go on a trip once my break starts.
Sounds good! Where?
When are you returning to school?
Ji-hoon is worried about you.
He said it seems like you're having a hard time.
I wonder...
How you looked when you heard that.
I heard from Ji-hoon.
How his biological father killed his mom,
and how you touched his heart after.
How you accepted him as family,
and how you
looked after him.
You quit being a prosecutor
because you worried that Ji-hoon will still remember that incident?
I was surprised.
I couldn’t believe there is such a great person in the world.
A good will without any ulterior motive exists!
But you...
I'm afraid that one day I'll grow up and be an adult like you.
You don't have to worry about me.
Just worry about Ji-hoon.
What do you mean by that?
Does...
Ji-hoon know about this?
Why?
Are you ashamed?
I'm going to tell him.
He should know.
He should know what kind of a person his father is.
He just got OK.
Don't make it hard for him.
I should keep my mouth shut because it's an inconvenient truth?
That doesn't work on me anymore.
Ji-hoon is different from the kids on the list.
- He's my friend. - If he is...
You should protect him even more.
Why should Ji-hoon know about this?
Because it's sad.
Don't you feel sad for him?
He firmly believes that you are the savior of his life.
He loves you and respects you the most!
It's sad to see.
The real you is far from it.
To be disappointed and hurt by you
is his burden to bear.
It's not my fault.
What I wanted to tell you
was that.
How dare you talk about Ji-hoon like that?
Jeong-guk Watchman.
Don't be mistaken about yourself, you were just acting like a hero online.
No one will accept you in reality.
You can't get along with anyone, you're always negative,
always complaining about the system, spreading negativity like cancer!
Not just your school life, but
you'll live alone in your entire life typing on your keyboard just like now,
and die alone!
But Ji-hoon
is not like you, you're not fit for society.
Never show your face around Ji-hoon!
(Solomon's Perjury Episode 11)
It's been a while!
Hello.
You've grown up quite a bit since the last time I saw you.
We've never met with just us two before, without So-woo.
No.
It is a bit awkward.
Have you been well?
Just so so. How about you?
I shouldn't have asked.
I'm sure you're not fine.
No.
I'm OK.
You don't need to hide it from me.
Really...
Are you OK?
No.
Then why?
Why do you torture yourself that way?
I want to know.
There's an answer I have to find out.
From whom?
Ji-hoon.
When I heard about the trial...
I wasn't sure why you'd go that far.
People have the right to forget, too.
To talk about So-woo whom people had already said good-bye's to...
And to discuss the incident in public, all in detail,
it was uncomfortable.
I didn't think it was necessary.
But...
I kept hearing about how the trial was going, and I realize what you're doing.
So,
I decided to go on the trial, too.
I'm a witness to the prosecutor.
You're gonna talk about the school?
Yes.
Choi Woo-hyuk's innocence is already proven.
I think it's about time I should step in.
- I think that's a good idea. - But...
How much should I say?
All of it.
All of it?
About you, too?
Yes.
Can you handle it?
I was already prepared before the trial began.
I'm no longer the defense counsel in the trial.
You can't call the judge into the prosecutors' meeting!
Then what do I do? Soo-hee's not here and I'm no help to Seo-yeon.
You're the one who came so quickly when I asked you to come see me!
You didn't say anything about a meeting.
Then what, you thought I had something to tell you alone?
Yes... No.
Hurry, I've pushed back my lesson for this.
Nothing extraordinary.
But I felt like I should let you know what might be said in this session.
I already know about the call records.
I saw this video.
Lee Jung-woo? The teacher?
Yes.
He was our art teacher last year.
He was close to So-woo.
He's got something to say about the school.
Really?
That's surprising.
The vice principal again? Why?
Don't you remember how upset he was last time?
I know.
But he's speaking from a different position this time.
He said he'll give an honest testimony this time.
He'll talk about why the school wanted to hide the So-woo incident.
Then he's being a whistle-blower after he's fired?
It's going to upset many people, regardless.
I know. I'll be careful.
Who's the last witness?
I've never heard this name before.
That's to be told in court.
OK.
But you understand that your witnesses and evidence are not so objective, right?
Your witnesses are former faculty members, and your evidence is just assumptions about
that night.
There's no clear purpose the prosecutor has in this trial session.
You only have three days before you're expelled.
I can't set our objective to just one thing.
I feel like I can find evidence as we go through the testimony,
about the male student.
I think it'll be a psychological examination.
I want to try it first.
When did you become so audacious?
This is just like Schrödinger's cat! A paradox!
That's true.
What is this?
What are you guys talking about?
What is that?
Don't worry about it.
What happened?
Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you!
What's this? We decided to skip my birthday this year!
No matter how busy you are, you shouldn't skip your birthday!
You probably only have about 80 birthdays left.
OK, again!
Happy birthday dear Seo-yeon...
Happy birthday to you!
Thanks! That made me feel so much better.
Hey, too early to feel that way.
You still have this!
Wait, stop!
I hate my sister! How come there's no birthday party?
I waited for this day for so long!
I know, I know...
Let's go out to eat ourselves when Dad gets home.
Not that!
I like the birthday atmosphere.
The party hats, the candles...
Grow up already!
You still like birthday parties at this age?
Dad's home!
Hello, Dad!
What's wrong?
Seo-yeon banned her own birthday party.
She said she has to focus on the trial.
You guys go ahead.
Go on and eat it.
You know anything about tomorrow's trial?
She hasn't been out of her room.
She just says, "I'm leaving for school," then, "I'm back from school."
That's all she says to me.
You didn't know?
Ji-hoon's father is the one who ordered the club members to be expelled.
Do you think that was my only lie?
I am Han Kyung-hoon, the head of the legal department.
(The day of the fourth trial)
(Notice: The participating trial club members have been suspended for 5 days)
The defense counsel's space has been closed off.
We can't use the main school building.
Ko Seo-yeon.
Tell me if you got something to say.
No need to avoid it.
I never did.
Isn't it because you're hiding something that you feel that way?
This is the list of witnesses for today's trial.
How about the defense counsel?
No witnesses.
No witnesses?
Why?
You said it yourself.
You asked me to pick apart your witnesses and evidence, and assert for his suicide.
I'll do just that.
You haven’t heard?
They're threatened to be expelled, counting the days until it happens.
Expelled?
Five points off just for watching it!
All the students are stuck in their classrooms.
They're taking it too far!
The school's out of their mind.
What do you think? Don't you feel like Ji-hoon's target it the school?
Hello.
We thank you very much for coming this trial.
There is no defendant in this session.
We are here to find out the truth behind Lee So-woo's death.
Please understand that there is no defendant.
Please be seated.
We'll start the examinations.
You are Lee Jung-woo, the art teacher in Jeong-guk High School until last year?
Yes, that's me.
You said you spoke with Lee So-woo frequently.
Was it a personal relationship or just between a teacher and a student?
I believe we were close friends, regardless of age or being a teacher and a student.
We often met outside of school.
Was there a specific incident where you and Lee So-woo became close?
He liked drawing.
We felt connected in a sense that both of us are the outsiders of Jeong-guk school.
"The outsiders"?
Yes.
We'd joke about it together.
He was probably the only student who didn't care much about his grades in school.
I was just an art teacher that's hired on contract, no one cared about me.
We were the outsiders in that sense.
Do you mean that Lee So-woo felt like no one cared about him?
But he didn't feel particularly lonely or anything.
So-woo said he was much more comfortable talking to people online.
So-woo communicated online?
Yes.
Jeong-guk Watchman.
What?
So-woo was the admin for the Jeong-guk Watchman account.
So-woo was the Watchman.
So-woo was the Watchman!
Who was that?
Keep quiet during class!
Really?
Jeong-guk Watchman...
is still active.
So how can So-woo...
I believe a friend took over that account.
Lee So-woo's friend?
From this school? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
That...
I'm not sure.
Why...
Why did So-woo hide the fact that he was the Watchman?
He didn't like getting attention.
He was also afraid that people might be disappointed that it was him.
He said he'd rather remain an imaginary friend.
Prosecutor.
Ko Seo-yeon!
I apologize.
Do you know how Lee So-woo started to be active as Jeong-guk Watchman?
He...
Wanted to communicate with other students.
He was curious about what other students were thinking.
He said they're not so honest in school, always pretending to be someone else.
So...
He wanted to know what the students were hiding in their hearts?
You make it sound like it was out of a bad intention.
But it wasn't like that.
What So-woo wanted was more like a release, an outlet,
for the students, so they can breathe.
Watchman! Tell me about Han Ji-hoon.
No girlfriend, went to Jeong-guk elementary and middle school, living in
Monte Visa Penthouse.
Whoever took Lee Yoo-jin's wallet by mistake, or found it, please message me.
I'll deliver it to the owner anonymously.
Jeong-guk Watchman!
Ahn Yoo-min in Class 2-1 is not a teacher's pet who's reporting
everything to the teachers.
Please refrain from assumptions and witch hunts.
Jeong-guk Watchman strikes again!
- What is it? - Take a look!
Wow, how could he have thought of this?
It's such a relief!
- Did you see what he posted? - He's so awesome!
I'm sure he's a tall and handsome guy!
As you all know, people liked him very much online.
Many people went to him to be counseled,
many reported things to him and exposed things, too.
Exposed things? What kind?
Were there things about the school?
I can't pinpoint it like that.
But So-woo took it as something that's related with the school.
Can you show the picture that's on the Watchman's profile page?
Yes.
Yes, this painting.
This was his favorite painting.
From So-woo's perspective, this is what the school felt like.
Could you elaborate in more detail?
It's called "the Magpie on the Gallows" by Bruegel.
It just looks like an ordinary landscape painting of a farm.
But look at the middle.
There's a gallows, and a person seized by people and being dragged to the gallows.
This was painted in the Netherlands in the 16th century.
Witch hunts and inquisitions were popular then.
But their evidence against those charges were completely absurd.
- Anonymous accusations. - Yes.
Someone just had to say, "So-and-so is a witch, a heretic."
Just with that, they could kill someone.
To today's standards, it seems like they were such bad people.
But they had to do so to protect themselves.
It was a way of life to them.
Then how did So-woo...
Relate this painting to Jeong-guk High School?
There was once a bad rumor about a particular student in school.
- It was a big issue. - Ahn Yoo-mi?
Yes. That student.
She had told a teacher about another student who broke a school rule,
and didn't get her own points deducted because of it.
That other student started a bad rumor about Yoo-mi.
So-woo calmed the students down a bit, but Yoo-mi was very upset.
But wasn't that just between them?
Not to So-woo.
People don't change.
They make up systems and oppress, or be oppressed.
And make scapegoats out of others so out of their fear of being oppressed.
He wasn't sure why the world hasn't changed, after all that time.
He had asked, "Isn't the school at fault for creating a system that makes students
report on each other for higher points?"
I couldn't answer his question.
You stated that So-woo was already at odds with the school.
Was it because of his rebellious feelings like this one?
It wasn't really about his rebellious nature.
But I was told that he was asked to leave the school for posting something
on the Watchman account.
The school had threatened to move So-woo to a different school!
He was asked to leave?
Just what did he post online?
I don't know its content.
That's why he stopped coming to school?
It wasn't about the science lab fight?
It was long before the fight when he mentioned that he was asked to leave.
There were a few months that Jeong-guk Watchman didn't post anything.
Yes.
- That started around October. - It was then.
That's when the school asked So-woo to leave this school for a different one.
- Recess! - Recess!
Time out!
Recess!
Adjourn the trial for a second!
Objection!
Objection... To Prosecutor? You're in her team!
It's not that...
I request for a recess.
Yoo-jin!
I request a break for 30 minutes.
We'll be adjourned for 30 minutes.
Mr. Han.
It's brought up in the trial!
Lee Yoo-jin!
The students are asking for a recess?
Yes, they're going crazy saying that they want to watch it.
Crazy, So-woo was the Watchman?
- I'm getting the chills! - Why kick him out of school? For what?
- Hurry to the auditorium! - For sure, we have to see this!
- Forget about the points deduction! - Who can take my seat here?
Hey!
Hey, Joon-young!
So-woo was the Watchman?
- How about your class? - That's not so important right now.
All the other kids are coming too!
What happened? Tell me the details!
We'll explain later, but have them sit in the auditorium.
Hurry! Before we get in trouble!
Why me? I'm not even on the defense team anymore.
Are you proud of that?
Just go.
Ko Seo-yeon.
Let me talk to you for a second.
Prosecutor. You get the feel for it?
I see what's happening.
We need to hear more details from the next witness.
Are you sure about this?
You're just like them.
(Jeong-guk Watchman)
Did you watch the movie I recommended?
It was good!
What's your next recommendation?
Please be quiet.
We'll begin the examination.
What is your position as a witness in this trial?
The former vice principal and interim principal of Jeong-guk High School.
But you're not one currently?
No.
Did you quit your post on your own?
No way.
I am very attached to this school.
This is all from my effort to protect this trial from the pressures from school.
Pressures from school?
Yes.
From Jeong-guk Foundation.
How were you pressured?
They told me to disband the trial club.
And if they don't listen...
They told me to expel the students involved in it, so harsh!
The foundation?
You were fired because you didn't listen tot hem?
Yes.
Like you, I was punished for doing the right thing!
We're all in the same boat.
Just earlier,
Lee Jung-woo, who was once a faculty member here, revealed that So-woo was
Jeong-guk Watchman.
Did you know this fact?
Yes.
He also testified that because of what So-woo posted on the Watchman account,
So-woo was asked to leave the school.
Is that true?
Yes, it's true.
Do you know the content he wrote?
Yes.
It was about Jeong-guk's...
unfair admission documents, their pictures.
Unfair admission?
There are students admitted to Jeong-guk High School unfairly?
Yes, there are several.
So you mean...
Lee So-woo posted documents proving unfair admission practice of the school,
then he was asked to leave the school?
Technically, it wasn't the document itself, but the cover of the document.
The school didn't ask him to leave, but the foundation did.
- Where's that photo... - It was immediately deleted.
I'm sure it was someone high up in the foundation who pressured him.
Do you have any evidence to prove your statement?
I don't.
Is there anyone who remembers seeing the photo the Watchman posted?
I remember it.
The cover of the document said, "VIP."
Yes, that's the one.
It's the list of students who were admitted unfairly.
Witness.
Please tell us everything about this unfair admission practice.
Because I was just the vice principal then...
I was just told that there was a list.
The principal and people from the foundation know more about it.
The School Violence Prevention Committee, too, was not suggested by Choi Woo-hyuk's
parents.
While Lee So-woo was refusing to leave the school,
he got in trouble by getting into a fight.
The foundation took it as an opportunity for them.
That's why the Committee was called so quickly,
and determined Lee So-woo as the assailant.
It was already determined that Lee So-woo...
will be expelled.
They are just too much!
I agree.
Who made that call?
Who pressured Lee So-woo to move school?
And determined that he is to be expelled through the Committee?
- That's my question. - Do you really need me to spell it out?
It was Han Kyung-moon, the head of the legal department of the foundation.
Defense Counsel, ask questions after Prosecutor's examination.
No.
I'll finish my examination here.
You may cross-examine the witness.
You testified last time that the School Violence Prevention Committee was called
according to school policy.
- Do you remember it? - That was...
When I was still hired by the school.
Of course I couldn't speak the truth.
You committed perjury then?
I guess you can say that, technically.
But... I'm now here to correct it.
You knew that it was wrong then.
Yes.
But...
I was only following an order.
I wasn't the one who gave the order.
- I had no authority to do so! - At that time, you were...
The committee chair of the School Violence Prevention Committee.
Are you saying a harsh punishment like expulsion was given without
the consent of the committee chair?
Isn't it that you also wanted to get rid of So-woo from the school,
because he exposed the school's corruption?
- I had no choice then! - A great power called the foundation
drove an 18-year-old to death.
You knew it was the wrong thing to do.
Yet you agreed to it and watched it happen.
Now you're saying, "I'm not responsible," "I had no choice."
Don't you think those words...
Are so cowardly?
Han Ji-hoon!
Do you have any right to say those kinds of words to me?
- You are... - Mr. Vice Principal!
Hey, Han Ji-hoon!
Illicit admission...
Isn't it a serious matter if it's true?
Of course!
Do you know how hard I studied to enter this school?
How can someone just pay money to get in?
They have no conscience!
If it is true, we have to find out who were admitted unfairly and expel them.
I won't allow them to study in the same classroom as me.
But where did Han Ji-hoon go?
- I thought he was here. - He's been weird lately.
He hasn't met with the rest of the defense counsel, and doesn't
check his messages.
It feels like... He's getting ready to leave.
Just a hunch.
You didn't go to school today either?
Get out.
I'm going to sleep.
So-woo!
It's not that I'm not going to school.
It's the school...
That doesn't want me.
Where is it?
Hey there, I have a...
Wait.
You're the guy from...
Hello.
How...
Yes, sir.
I'm watching the trial.
It's pretty surreal what's happening here.
Unfair admission?
Who testified?
OK. I'll be right there.
We'll being the examination.
Please keep quiet.
Next is the third witness from the prosecutor.
Please come in.
Ji-hoon.
Your honor!
I need a moment with the defense counsel.
Before the witness testimony.
- You... - I know he's your father.
I met him a few days ago.
He asked why I wanted to continue with the trial, and its direction.
And I asked him to come on the trial.
- What will you ask him? - Why?
Is there something I shouldn't ask about?
Are you hiding something from us?
Something else?
I want to confirm if there truly are students who were admitted illegally.
And if they really wanted to kick So-woo out of school for knowing it.
And if he is...
The one who was behind all this.
Let me do it.
I ask you.
I want to examine my father.
No.
I don't trust you.
Witness.
You must swear an oath as written on your table.
Do you agree to it?
Yes.
Please swear with your right hand raised.
I pledge an oath to testify to the truth according to my conscience.
I will not hide anything nor add anything, and only speak the truth.
Thank you.
Prosecutor may begin the examination.
Yes.
Are you Mr. Han Kyung-moon, the head of the legal department of Jeong-guk
Foundation, to which Jeong-guk High School belongs?
- Yes. - The legal department...
What is your main responsibility there?
We make sure that there are no legal issues that arise in our schools.
Then...
You have a say in the school's management.
I receive general reports.
What happens when you feel that there is an issue based on the reports?
Do you give orders to resolve those issues?
There hasn't been an issue that I had to give an order.
Witness.
Did you know Lee So-woo?
- Yes. - How?
He's the student that died last December, in Class 2-1 of Jeong-guk High School.
I was briefed about him after then incident.
Was that all? Being reported after the incident?
There was a testimony that you had pressured Lee So-woo to go to a
different school because of what was posted in Jeong-guk Watchman account,
also that you wanted to expel him through the School Violence Prevention Committee.
That statement...
Is not trustworthy.
What makes you say that?
The former vice principal has been let go of his position due to violating
the committee's policies.
Thus, he has a motive to testify against the school.
Another teacher, Lee Jung-woo, also gave the same testimony.
He said that Lee So-woo was at odds with the school because of the
Jeong-guk Watchman account.
All the same, he's no longer hired by the school as his contract expired.
Did you know that Lee So-woo was Jeong-guk Watchman?
Yes.
But Lee So-woo never revealed that he was the Watchman to anyone.
Do you admit that you secretly investigated to find out who he was?
It was to find out basic information about the account.
You're saying that the school and Lee So-woo did not have any issues...
Then why did the Foundation investigate to find out about who's behind it?
Jeong-guk Watchman was an anonymous online community.
It had the potential to cause legal issues such as spreading false rumors or
harshly criticizing certain students.
The legal department had every reason to watch the account.
If you have been watching it closely...
Then you must've seen the illicit admission document that was posted.
This is the first time I've ever heard about such a list.
Can you show it to me?
The picture of the list that So-woo apparently posted...
Can you show it to me?
The picture has been since deleted but the judge here also admitted that he saw it.
A cover that said, "VIP."
How can you prove that the letters, "VIP," refer to a list of students who were
unfairly admitted?
Witness!
The judge determines the credibility of evidence.
Not you.
Your honor.
It's easy to be confused.
But admissibility and credibility are two different things.
Even in real courtrooms, the judge is not to determine the credibility of evidence
on his own.
Prosecutor has assumed that a document showing students who were unfairly admitted
exists, as well as issues between Lee So-woo and the school.
She's questioning me with these assumptions.
Although it is a school trial done by students,
shouldn't it be based on evidence with credibility?
I'd like to confirm it before I go on with my further statements.
Can you prove that such a list exists?
The defense counsel can turn in such evidence.
These are the photos of the document Jeong-guk Watchman had posted.
Just as I said before...
And this!
Is the actual list of students who were unfairly admitted to school.
The letters, "VIP,"
did refer to the list of unfairly admitted students.
The existence of such a list is
also true.
Witness.
Please answer.
You are the head of the legal department of Jeong-guk Foundation,
and you admitted that you've been closely watching Jeong-guk Watchman.
Yet...
This is the first time you knew about this list?
When Lee So-woo posted this picture...
You never gave any kind of order because of it?
It's just a piece of paper with a list of names, anyone can make it up.
This does not serve as the evidence to prove that there were students
who were admitted unfairly.
Just as such, I never gave any kind of orders based on this claim.
I never pressured anyone to move to a different school, or frame someone
through the Committee.
Witness.
You just swore an oath.
You must follow your conscience,
not add or hide anything from the truth, you swore it at your seat.
I'll ask again.
Are your words...
True?
They are.
That was enough examination.
We'll adjourn for 30 minutes.
They are extraordinary all around, Ji-hoon who questioned his own father,
and Mr. Han who denied it until the end.
You said Ji-hoon planned for the trial?
Yes.
Seo-yeon doesn't know this?
She did ask if I knew whom Jeong-guk Watchman is.
I didn't tell her, it wasn't my place.
Good.
She'll find out eventually, she should hear it from him.
We shouldn't get involved.
But illicit admission...
Should we investigate it since there are witness testimonies and the pictures?
It wasn't reported to us directly.
The vice principal earlier...
I think he'll agree to report it if we talked to him.
It's a very well-managed foundation.
It's hard to investigate, only a few probably know about such a list.
If the vice principal had a conclusive evidence,
they wouldn't have fired him.
Hello.
Hey there, nice to see you again!
You came for the trial?
Yes, after you guys came,
I've been curious about how it was going.
You must be disappointed.
We couldn't figure anything out.
But more than that...
Seo-yeon.
You know that male student I said I saw in the phone booth?
Why is he here?
What?
Him, right there!
You must be mistaken.
No.
He saw me just now and greeted me.
He thanked me for worrying about him then.
Is that really true?
Yes, it's true.
Hey there, are you OK?
Hey!
It was him alright.
The one you were looking for!
The one in the phone booth!
Seo-yeon, come! We need to discuss what to do.
We've been waiting for you.
That was the last witness Prosecutor submitted.
Now what do we do?
Well, we'll be expelled tomorrow.
- We better stop the trial. - So just end it here?
Should I tell the jury to start deliberation?
No.
I found him.
The male student from that night.
I'll put him on the stand.
I want to hear everything that was hidden from us so far.
I have to know why.
He's our last witness.
One more day.
Just give me one more day.
So I can prepare for the next trial session.
I just need one more day, today.
I feel so drained today.
The prosecutors seem down, too.
It'd be weird if you were actually happy as usual.
Is that right? Well, that's a good thing for me.
I'll get going first.
Do well tomorrow!
See ya.
Wait for me, we're on the same bus!
Bye!
Joon-young!
Thank you.
This is nothing, I'm your dad!
Joon-young.
Won't you come home now?
I...
- I'm still... - It's OK.
Mom's not home.
We decided to spend some time apart from each other.
We need to think about if we can continue living this way.
She agreed to it, too.
After your brother died that way,
it was hard for me to see her being sick, too.
I wasn't living each day, I was just persevering.
It's not that it justifies my leaving you alone that way.
I'm really sorry.
I didn't know you were having that hard of a time, to think such thoughts.
I'm sorry.
But for me...
I want to start up our family all over again.
I want to go back to the time
that we were all OK, just as your brother remembered.
Can we try it?
Dad...
Did you know Lee So-woo?
No.
Prosecutor is imagining things.
Someone had called So-woo from pay phones.
- Five times. - So?
Did you find out?
Yes?
What's happened? Is something wrong?
Yoo-jin.
Unfair admission...
It's true.
My dad and the principal are friends.
They paid money so I can be in this school.
Lee Yoo-jin, why are you telling us this?
I saw the list earlier, your birthday was there!
I was going to just forget it, why did you bring it up?
Soo-hee...
Just forget it.
This never happened.
Let's just say that you got lucky in the admission exam,
and you're just not so good in school.
I don't know any of this, and you don't know either.
How can we pretend not to know?
It hurt other students.
Someone must've not made the cutoff because of me.
A student who deserved to be admitted.
I pushed that person aside and I got myself in, though I'm wasn't qualified.
I'm stupid!
And I don't even put in the effort!
But I'm the same Jeong-guk student as you are, because my family is rich!
I feel so ashamed and I feel so bad for them.
How can I just ignored it?
You're such a fool!
Did you ask to come to this school?
Your parents did that behind your back!
How can that be your fault?
Why should you feel bad and ashamed?
I'll go and testify tomorrow.
I'll admit that it's true.
I'll testify that I was admitted that way.
I'll say it all.
Yoo-jin.
No one can deny it if I admit it.
It needs to be exposed so a case like mine can never happen again.
That's how people who were responsible will no longer be there.
Isn't that right?
I'm sorry I'm late.
I needed some time to think.
I...
Was even more late than you.
Seo-yeon!
Seo-yeon, you'll be home all day from starting tomorrow?
You're lucky!
I want to be expelled, too!
She's about to be expelled, not quite yet!
If you're jealous, then you should just get in trouble, too!
Mom! They should be in trouble!
They're speaking nonsense!
Hey guys!
You all need to wash up!
Otherwise we have to go to the dentist again!
Make sure you're completely clean!
I'll see you.
You'll do great!
(The last day of trial)
(Notice: The students involved in the trial club are suspended for 6 days)
Hello.
I am Kim Min-seok, and I'll be the presiding judge of this trial.
Thank you for attending this school trial.
Please be seated.
Today's the last day of this trial.
After the last witness testimony, each side will give their final argument.
And when the jury goes into deliberation, there will be no more school trial.
We'll begin the examination.
- Witness... - But first!
I have something to tell you.
The person I am about to examine is not a witness.
He is the new defendant of this trial.
The defendant is a party directly involved in this case, though he has been in hiding.
But he mustered up a great amount of courage to be here today.
Until the defendant is done with the examination process,
I ask that you'd watch in silence without any remarks.
Defense Counsel, Han Ji-hoon.
Please sit in the defendant's seat.
- Ji-hoon! - Seo-yeon! What are you doing?
Why does he need to sit there?
I'll ask you directly.
On the night that Lee So-woo died...
Where were you and what were you doing?
I was with So-woo on top of the school building.
What should you be charged with?
The murder of Lee So-woo.
