(All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.)
(There may be uncomfortable scenes in the portrayal of crime cases.)
- We're here for some investigation. - Yes. Sure.
Of course, I remember that police car.
I mean, how could I not? It was completely crushed.
Was there anything peculiar?
Take a look at this.
Based on the collision marks,
it looks like a steel frame hit it.
- A steel frame? - Yes.
Regular cars wouldn't have anything like this.
They're usually installed on tanks or armed vehicles.
But there aren't any army bases nearby this area.
- Thanks for your cooperation. - It's nothing. Bye.
Something's fishy. It just doesn't make sense.
- Are we close? - We'll be there soon.
The collision took place somewhere very isolated.
My goodness.
I understand why he was badly injured.
Contact the Traffic Control and ask for surveillance footage...
of the intersection that leads here.
Yes, ma'am.
There may be witnesses, so publish a search for them too.
Okay. I'll hang a banner...
and look for the suspect too.
(Taxi Driver)
(Episode 4)
- He smells so fishy. - We can't study because of you.
I can't study, you punk!
You BLS jerk.
You have to be careful with knives.
That's right. It'll be a disaster if you got stabbed.
Do they know how I feel?
No, absolutely not.
I wish that they'll get to feel exactly how I've felt.
How horrendous living feels like.
Do we really need to go so low and deal with high schoolers?
It may just be a small part of their teenage years,
but to others, it may be a life-or-death situation.
No matter who throws the stone, it will sink regardless.
This is Mr. Hwang In Sung,
who will be a substitute teacher until your teacher comes back.
(Sejeong High School)
Later,
they'll discover your photos and a magazine in his bag.
All you have to do is cry and say what I told you to say.
How about it?
You can do it, right?
Is no one here?
Is anyone here?
(Reach for your dreams, shining bright like the stars)
What's going on?
What's wrong?
- What's going on? What's wrong? - Are you okay?
What happened?
Honey!
I'm good.
Honeybee? What about Black Rose?
All right. See you later.
I'm getting a call.
Hello?
What did you just say?
What's the name of the teacher?
What happened?
What did this teacher do to you?
He has photos of me in his bag.
- What? - Oh my gosh.
Your photos are in his bag? What kind of photos?
Mr. Hwang In Sung.
Please come to the classroom for class 2-3 right now.
I repeat.
Mr. Hwang In Sung,
please come to the classroom for class 2-3 right now.
Hello, Principle. This is the dean.
I'm with Mr. Hwang In Sung right now.
We have a problem.
What?
Yes, sir.
I'll take him there.
Get up. Let's go.
Get up.
Let's go.
Let go! Don't touch her!
Let's go.
Get over here! You little...
Let's go.
Let's follow them.
I've never seen anything like this in my 30 years as a teacher.
Get over here!
Don't you know what age we live in?
He'll never teach again.
Right. He should've...
- learned his lesson. - Who cares if you're good looking?
Come with me!
Does that jerk like guys?
What's his deal?
Even if you're not officially their homeroom teacher,
how could you let this happen?
I'm sorry.
How did you manage the students...
that something disgraceful like this happened?
Manage?
Where's Park Seung Tae's desk?
Over there.
Oh my gosh.
Are those the photos that you said...
were in a bag?
What happened in the library earlier?
Tell me. It's okay.
So...
a bug crawled under my shirt.
You brat! You should've said so from the start!
You twerp.
Mr. Hwang. You had a guest waiting for you in the library.
For me?
Yes.
- This way. - Okay.
What should I do with this precocious twerp?
Where did Seung Tae go?
He took a girl into the library.
They want to play and started it first,
so we should see it through.
Should I get the pictures in his bag?
I don't think this calls for pest control.
I'll do it.
You two can bow out.
- Okay. - Let's go.
(Pest Control Service, Wunesco)
- Hello. - Hi.
Hello.
Hello?
Park Seung Tae from class 2-3...
has pictures of me in his bag against my will.
I'm so scared, Mr. Principle.
What? Who's the homeroom teacher?
He's waiting in here.
- Here? - Yes.
I returned the book to its owner.
Okay. Thanks for your help.
I have to get ready for class.
Don't you know what age we live in?
I'm so embarrassed.
Who cares if you're good looking?
Come with me!
It's okay. I know it's not your fault.
Do you want to look at this?
I'll let it go for now.
But if you do it again,
it'll be your fault too.
Nod if you understand.
I bet he gets kicked out today.
I bet you get dragged away and scolded.
Mr. Hwang, I'm so sorry.
I'll buy lunch.
How could I have misjudged you with this honest-looking face?
- How are you so trustworthy? - The three of you!
- Come with me. - It's okay.
Go with him, you jerks.
I'll buy lunch.
Hey. Was it fun messing with me?
I really did as you asked.
Darn it.
I'm still mad.
Hey, hey. Hey.
Stop that. He's your friend.
Let's just go eat.
Hey, I decide whether or not I stop. Okay?
Seriously.
Know your place.
Hey.
Does it hurt, punk?
- It's fine. - I hit you lightly.
Aren't you a good fighter?
Hey. This is all because of that temp.
You're right.
We've been having bad luck ever since he came.
Seriously bad luck.
- How do we get him? - Let us look.
- Hey. - Hold on.
- It's suspicious. - This is suspicious.
- Open it. - No.
Excuse me.
- Look. - No.
Old man. You're under arrest for illegally distributing marijuana.
Whom did you sell this to?
- What? - To whom?
There.
What? Hey, kids. Come here.
- Let's go. - Come here.
Run!
- Hey, kids! - Stop!
They're so fast. Too bad we can't catch them.
You're under arrest.
Come with us.
How dare you sell marijuana?
- Come with us. - Wait.
It smells different.
That old man really must have sold marijuana.
- That freak. - Hey.
What happens if we're caught with marijuana?
Didn't you see him get arrested?
We'll be expelled and go to jail.
Hey. We're dead.
Hey. Bury it.
Hurry.
Would they come to the school?
We're dead then.
Hey.
If anyone asks, we never even saw that old man.
We did not.
- Okay? - Of course.
Ignore the temp when he gets here.
If anyone asks questions...
or listens to his lesson,
I'll kill you. I mean it.
Why won't you answer him?
Answer him!
Hey, Mr. Class President. Stay in your seat, okay?
Answer me.
Pick that up.
(Motto - Learn with a right heart and proper acts.)
Hi everyone.
Where did we leave off?
You shouldn't play that during class.
Turn it off.
Seung Tae.
Park Seung Tae?
- Park Seung Tae. - I don't want to.
- What? - How many days do you have left?
Is today your last day?
Once your contract's up, you're a nobody.
So chill, will you?
We're about the same age.
Once we get old,
we'll all be friends.
Isn't that right, In Sung?
Seung Tae, your jokes are a bit excessive.
So what if it's excessive?
What will you do about it?
I don't want to learn from a teacher on contract.
If you're mad, hit me. Go on.
All right. Let's not have class today.
Instead, let's all watch a video.
Seung Tae, you're okay with that, right?
Geez.
What kind of teacher gives in to pressure?
All right.
(Differentiation of polynomial functions)
That old man really must have sold marijuana.
What happens if we're caught with marijuana?
We'll be expelled and go to jail.
Hey. We're dead.
Would they come to the school?
If anyone asks, we never even saw that old man.
- We did not. - Okay?
Oh, no!
Why is that playing?
How do I turn this off?
I'm sorry, guys. That wasn't the video I was going to show.
Just a minute.
Why aren't you going home? Aren't classes over?
What was that, earlier?
Oh, that.
I was shocked too.
But the other students seemed like they were in the dark.
- Right? - I mean...
- what was that video? - I know, right?
I think the back hills here are so pretty,
I was filming them with my cell phone.
I had no idea you guys would be there doing that.
My gosh.
Don't worry.
I'm the only one who knows.
Do you really think I would go there,
dig up that marijuana, and hand it over to the police?
Tell them our students are smoking weed?
We don't smoke marijuana.
Of course, I know that.
That's exactly what you should say to anyone who asks.
This will be our little secret.
Let's keep it that way, okay?
Gosh, don't worry.
Just trust me.
I'll be going now.
- This is so weird. - Is this the wrong spot?
- I think it was here. - Right?
How could you forget already? It was just yesterday.
It is here.
Just dig around properly.
Who is it?
It's me, Mr. Hwang. About that marijuana...
I think reporting drugs to the police...
is the duty of a good citizen,
so I handed them over to the police after all.
You handed them to the police?
The police asked me a million times...
where I'd gotten it,
but I didn't mention you guys to the end.
Didn't I do a great job?
By any chance, you're not trying to dig up what you buried, right?
Shoot.
That scumbag!
(Seoul Northern District Prosecutors' Office)
(Prosecutor Kang Ha Na)
- Where are the co-conspirators? - I have no idea.
They ran away after making me the scapegoat.
If you look at the materials,
only Park Ju Chan and I know that,
but you think I would have written it and sent it?
It's so strange.
But what happened that you're hurt so badly?
Prosecutor Kang, in my opinion,
I think those guys set me up to keep me quiet.
If I were really abetting those criminals,
would I really have gotten hurt this badly? Don't you think so?
(The Changsung Jeotgal Case)
You're leaving work so late.
Were you in the office this whole time?
It's just like being at the playground for me.
But what about you, Ms. Kang?
Is there something stressing you out?
- They keep disappearing. - Disappearing?
Recently, a few of my suspects have disappeared.
If suspects disappear, that means they fled.
I do think they fled,
but the facts don't line up with the flight.
There are times when a flight isn't a reasonable conclusion?
They disappeared without a trace.
Usually, when they flee, they leave something behind.
I feel like they're being hunted.
Hunted?
Yes. That's my gut feeling.
If the bad guys are being hunted down,
isn't that a good thing for society?
The good thing would be for them to be punished according to the law.
Otherwise, it's just another crime.
Shall we go?
I drove, so I can give you a ride if we're going the same direction.
No, no, I need to walk for exercise.
- All right. Take care. - Bye.
Traces of flight.
I'll have to take that under consideration from now on.
(Limits and Derivates Quiz)
Seung Tae.
Park Seung Tae. The teacher's calling on you.
Yes, Mr. Hwang?
I'm feeling a bit thirsty.
Can you go buy me a drink?
A drink?
A cola. With ice.
It's the middle of class.
It's nice and sunny out. Just get a breath of fresh air.
It's not like I'm asking you to buy me marijuana.
It's just a drink.
What do you say?
Wait, just a minute. I almost forgot.
Since you're going out,
can you buy me a burger from the intersection?
I'm so hungry I can barely teach.
Buy yourself something tasty with the change.
Go on, quickly.
Everyone else, you're working hard to solve the questions, right?
- Yes. - Yes.
No cheating, okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes.
"The rapper Dukplo..."
"stated that he never realized he possessed marijuana."
Shoot.
- But we really didn't know... - Lower your voice, you idiot.
They said five years in prison and a fine of 50,000 dollars.
What should we do?
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm putting in a request to someone who can solve this.
Who is it?
School violence consultation.
What is this? Will this really solve everything?
- Of course. - Hey. We don't need all that.
I'll take care of it.
Scumbag temp teacher, you're so dead.
So dead.
You're late.
Aren't you going to greet your teacher, kids?
The three of them are always stuck together.
They must be really close.
Mr. Hwang,
what are you doing here?
Home visit.
You must have other things to worry about though.
Oh, no.
Look, the main pot has been captured.
My goodness.
The pot is captured.
This is all about the pot.
Seung Tae, the pot is captured.
I sat around for two hours,
and now my back is sore.
What are you doing?
Oh, right. By the way,
can you lend me some money?
1,500 dollars per person,
- so 4,500 in total. - 4,500?
You're telling your students to lend you money?
You said I'm a mere gig worker, not a teacher.
Part-timers don't have money.
How do you expect us to have such money?
That's disappointing.
Am I asking...
for drugs or weed here?
It's just some money.
And did I tell you to give me the money?
I'm asking to borrow it.
Don't tell anyone else.
If you go and tell anyone,
I'll have to go and tell the police too.
Let's not break this teacher-student relationship.
We'll give the 4,500 dollars.
No, we'll give you 5,000 dollars.
But I decide the time and date.
Let's see.
The home visit is done!
I'm leaving now.
I don't have any money.
Do you?
Seriously!
You should come back to school.
Skipping school can become a habit.
Come to class starting next week.
You talk like you're my homeroom teacher.
I'm your homeroom teacher,
although for a short period of time.
(Go home and rest.)
(You must be tired after school.)
I finished early, so I came here.
Someone bought it for me.
(Who?)
My homeroom teacher.
Your homeroom teacher?
Let's go home and eat it together.
No, I can carry it.
Isn't it heavy if you carry everything...
in one hand?
(No, it's not since I'm with you.)
Lies.
(It's true.)
(It's not heavy when I'm holding your hand.)
(Because you lift me up.)
I'm sorry, Mom.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry, Mom.
It's my fault.
It's all my fault.
I'm so sorry. Mom.
I'll be good to you, Mom.
I'll be good to you.
Mom...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. Mom.
The weather is beautiful.
It's my day off. Why are we meeting at school?
What a terrible place to pick.
What?
Who are they?
I've never seen them before.
Did you bring the money?
Hey, are you the teacher who's bullying the kids for money?
How dare a teacher ask to borrow money from students?
You guys must be the uncles that change all the time.
This isn't what I wanted.
Should we get ready?
Yes.
What a young teacher you are.
Looks like we'll need to beat you up a little before we talk.
Guys.
Hey!
Get him!
Listen up.
What I do right now is out of love.
Stay away.
Stay away!
I said...
- I'll jump. - Can you do it?
You can't jump, can you?
Why would you push others...
when you can't jump yourself?
What gibberish are you talking about?
Want some help?
I... I'm sorry, sir.
I'm sorry.
- We... We were wrong. - I'm sorry.
We're sorry, teacher.
Do you still think I'm a teacher?
We're sorry, teacher.
Please don't kill us.
Please.
Please don't kill us.
You know Park Jung Min, right?
What?
We...
We did this to our friends.
We did this stuff to them too.
We did all of these on the same day.
We requested a transfer.
We deserve to be expelled.
Please punish us.
Yes. We belong in jail.
We deserve to go to jail.
Did you find Seung Tae's body?
Since he fell from that height,
the blood must have splattered everywhere.
But when we got there, it was all clean.
That teacher said,
"You can search the world,"
"but you'll never find your friend's body."
Please let us pay for our sins.
- If not, we'll die. - We'll die.
- We want to live. - Please punish us.
Please.
Detective, please...
- Please send us to jail. - We want to live.
(Angel Bakery)
- Why did you say that? - What?
That they'll never find their friend's body.
It's true.
How can they find the body when he's alive?
You guys must be the uncles that change all the time.
This isn't what I wanted.
Should we get ready?
Yes.
Listen up.
What I do right now is out of love.
- Bring him. - You do it.
Just bring him.
You always make me do it.
Your uncle that you brought to the roof...
wants to talk to you.
Seung Tae, you jerk!
Don't call me ever again.
If you do, I'll kill you. Got it?
And listen to your teacher. No matter what.
Do as he says if you want to live, got it?
You must be hungry. Do you want to eat?
You like pastries, right?
Eat everything...
you see here.
All of it?
You can't eat all of it.
Eat only as much as you can.
It's on Jung Min.
Jung Min?
Park Jung Min?
Whatever you eat,
it's on Jung Min.
Whatever you can't eat,
you'll have to pay for.
- Hey... - Jung Min treated a lot until now.
It's his last time treating you,
so eat up.
Eat.
Since Jung Min is the one who saved your life.
I didn't want to.
Each pastry you don't eat will cost you...
the amount necessary...
to compensate Jung Min for the financial and emotional harm...
you've inflicted on him.
The price of each pastry is...
Wow. It's quite a lot.
I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Sure. I'll relay your apology to Jung Min.
Eat.
I won't do it again. Ever.
I'm glad...
you say you won't do it again.
Eat.
I don't have money.
Gosh.
Seung Tae, you're very lucky.
I prepared this just in case.
What is this?
Where you'll be working.
It won't interfere with your daily life.
Work there after school.
If you work hard,
I'm sure you can pay it all off before your military service.
You can run away if you don't want to do it.
But the moment I catch you,
you'll have to make up 10 times what you missed.
Then you won't really have a life.
This is ridiculous.
And what you did...
to Jung Min wasn't ridiculous?
Whenever you don't understand why this is happening,
and you get so angry and bitter that you start to cry,
think of the other kids you bullied.
Because that's how you made them feel all this time.
Congrats on being reborn.
(Deluxe)
Thank you.
Your bill.
(3,402 dollars)
Weren't you helping me for free?
You'll learn many things in life,
but remember this.
No taxi is ever free.
Especially deluxe taxis.
Pay a little bit every month.
I hope with every payment you make,
you will get stronger.
- I... - Be good to your mom.
Thank you for your help.
Thank you.
Hello.
(Welcome.)
You're Jung Min's mother, right?
Here.
My foundation has just begun...
a scholarship program.
You understand me, right?
(Scholarship Certificate)
Jung Min was chosen...
as our scholarship winner.
Once he graduates high school and enters college,
the foundation...
will cover the entrance and tuition costs in full,
so please tell him to keep studying hard.
(Thank you. Thank you so much.)
No, no, it's nothing.
I'm the one who's grateful.
Here you go.
Wait a minute, I guess I should buy some fish.
What should I get?
Can I get two of everything?
The fish is fresh here.
Gosh.
- So the three transferred? - They got expelled.
Now we don't have to see those bugs anymore.
That's great.
Jung Min! You're back now, right?
Yes. How have you been?
I'm well. I'm glad you're back.
We have a test next week.
This is what will be covered. I'll text it to you.
Everyone, thank you for your work. I'll take the taxi out of service.
Let's go have dinner.
Go Eun, you can pick between gamjatang and pork belly.
I want burgers.
How can we have burgers for a company dinner?
I think she's just saying she hates your suggestions.
Really? Okay. Then let's eat what Go Eun wants. Burgers?
I want ramyeon.
I think she's saying she doesn't want to eat with you.
Stop harassing me, it annoys me so much.
Let's have dinner next time.
Mr. Kim needs to come with me somewhere.
I have an appointment that I can't miss.
It's not a bad idea to meet these people either.
Let's meet in front, and go in together.
What is that, Mr. Jang?
You said you'd get us back up once this job was over.
Let's go somewhere expensive and have a good meal.
I think he just doesn't want to buy you an expensive meal.
- Darn you. - Kyung Gu!
I like tuna sashimi.
How many rooms are empty?
We have some rooms left.
That's not good.
A rental operation needs to manage its space properly.
I'm sure Mr. Jang would be angry if we asked him to work harder.
What about the job I gave you?
I have been preparing.
But if Mr. Jang were to find out about this,
I don't think he'd be happy.
We're not his subordinates.
We're just collaborating as partners.
What are they going to do about it when it's what storage wants?
Let me know as soon as the preparations are complete.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm going to the field with Manager Lee for a bit.
We're going to have a big harvest soon.
Prepare some live ones.
Godmother, if needed, I would like to escort you.
Seok Tae, stick to what you're good at.
Yes, ma'am.
Gosh.
Shoot.
We've been talking about arranging a meeting for so long.
We're finally here with the real members of Blue Bird.
What rubbish.
You were the one who wanted distance.
I think this is our first time meeting.
My name is Cho Jin Woo.
I'm Kim Do Ki.
I work for Mr. Jang.
How did you meet Sung Chul?
We met through Blue Bird.
He helps out with the company's work,
and when we're busy, he helps at Blue Bird too.
I've been asking a lot of him.
It's fate that we've all met like this,
- so let's toast. - Yes, let's have a drink.
Here, have a drink.
Thank you.
Now, now, let's toast.
All right.
- What should we say? - Gosh, Mr. Cho.
Just say what they say in your department. It was funny.
Really?
- Then I'll start it off. - Go ahead.
By the law!
- Let's do this. - Let's do this.
Pour another right away.
- Western liquor? - Yes, great idea.
How was your day today?
I ate well, and am feeling strong.
Stay healthy, okay?
(My sister An Jung Eun, Send a message.)
(Go Eun's Record)
Listen, friends.
Starting now, the fact that you're here,
all your thoughts and memories of being here no longer exist.
Once you enter that room, do not ask the host...
what they do, or acknowledge that you recognize them.
Mark my words, that is absolutely forbidden.
This moment does not exist in your lives, got it?
- Ms. Lee. - Yes?
- Take their cell phones. - Yes, Chairman Baek.
Be smart about this.
Your life could change depending on how you behave.
Sir? It's me, Sung Mi.
How have you been, sir?
You look well.
I brought some friends to spend time with you today.
They are all very talented women in university.
They're all from the country as well.
Sung Mi, you still have a great eye.
Even for dinner, you prepare a fantastic spread.
How did you know I prefer fish over red meat?
It just feels different.
You can see the fish is alive.
Look at those eyes.
Don't overdo it today,
and take your time enjoying your company.
I'll come back later.
Sure. I'll see you later.
Gosh.
Can you please not link arms with me?
It's so embarrassing.
Stop it.
I'll drive you home.
What? No, no. We're going to get another drink.
Remember that pocha we used to go to?
- Yes, of course. - Let's have some makgeolli.
- Just one more drink. - That's enough.
- Let's go. - We called a taxi for you, sir.
Yes. Thank you.
Take good care of her...
and drive her home, okay?
- Let's go. - Good night.
- Thank you. - Good night.
- You know the pocha, right? - Shut it.
- Enough already. Get in. - Okay, fine.
- Bye. - Pocha.
- Be quiet. - Pocha.
Hey!
I'll drive you home.
Sure.
You can't come this way.
Go back!
Oh my gosh. Hey!
Are you okay?
Go back!
His BP and pulse are normal.
I'll do an EKG.
These look like bullet wound scars.
- Was he an active-duty soldier? - What?
Even if he were,
how could he have so many bullet wound scars?
That's strange.
Mom!
Mom.
Mom... Mom!
Mom!
Hello? Prosecutor Kang Ha Na's office.
You're calling in a tip?
Please tell me what it is.
Hold on. What was that?
Sky Dragon Drone Society?
Was he an active-duty soldier?
Even if he were,
how could he have so many bullet wound scars?
Hello?
What is it at this late hour?
That deluxe taxi showed up again.
What do you mean, it showed up again?
That deluxe taxi showed up again.
I'm in the office,
and someone called in a tip.
(It may just be a small part of their teenage years,)
(but to others, it may be a life-or-death situation.)
(Report emergencies and school violence.)
(Taxi Driver)
He worked hard on a case,
and you made him go out instead of letting him rest.
Then you made him faint.
That's what you call abuse of power.
Who are you to apologize on behalf of the company?
Do you own the company?
Them?
They're the biggest in the country.
I'm Kang Ha Na. The prosecutor who called.
What happened at his job...
that he jumped from the bridge?
We don't know for sure yet whether he jumped...
or was thrown off.
I'm going to work here.
No. I want to work here.
No, no.
I will work here.
