The court has made its decision.
According to Article 36, Clause 1
of the Act on Special Cases Concerning Punishment for Child Abuse,
a child abuser is forbidden to approach their family members for a year,
compelled to leave the victim's home for a year,
forbidden to approach the victim via telecommunications for a year,
divested of all parental rights for a year,
sentenced to 200 hours of community service and training,
ordered to undergo treatment for alcoholism,
and…
I want to show you
that the abuser will be locked up,
not the victim.
The victim will get to stay home
and the perpetrator will be punished.
I will
show you that.
And…
sentenced to one year in a probational facility.
Well, this is not right. Come on.
-I only scolded my own child-- -Under certain grounds,
the protective order can be changed or extended.
If you don't follow the order or accept the decision,
this case will be sent to the public prosecutors' office,
and you may face a criminal trial.
Also, the state is not obligated to bear the expenses
for alcoholism treatment.
You must pay them yourself.
Oh, dear.
Just because you were a victim of domestic abuse yourself,
likewise using violence towards your own family,
that is still undeniably a crime.
The law judges everything by facts.
Because he is my dad,
because he is my son.
Those excuses won't work here.
What only matters is
so did you commit an assault
or not.
The trial is closed.
Oh, Yu-ri.
Oh, no. Won-sik.
Won-sik.
Oh, no.
What is it?
Why didn't you tell me?
Your plan for Seo Yu-ri's case.
If I had known, I wouldn't have said such harsh words.
You sound like you're blaming me.
No, it's not that--
It wasn't a division case, but mine alone.
Do I have to report all the details to you?
If you're done, step aside. You're annoying me.
Mr. Seo Won-sik.
You're under arrest for assault during the trial.
Assault? What the heck?
Life is not a fairy-tale. No one lives a happily ever after.
That I can assure you as a someone who's lived up to this age.
Only difference comes from whether or not one overcome one's limitations.
That's why the courts and the polices exist around us.
Also why people like me can make a living.
Don't talk back to your elders like a rude brat.
Don't talk down to people just because you're in a bad mood.
Don't let your emotions dictate what you say.
Say hello to your elders first.
And even if you have nothing to smile about,
try to smile.
That will bring you luck.
I'm proud of you
for putting up with it all.
I don't like you.
I talked behind your back countless times.
So why are you doing this to me?
Why?
I really hate you.
BAD FAMILY SITUATION
MESSAGES
I WON'T COMMIT CRIMES ANYMORE I'LL WORK HARD
One more glass, please.
I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I really hated it when my father drank.
So I promised myself
that I'd never touch alcohol.
But it tastes so sweet.
I'm sorry, Judge Sim.
This is what I
should have said first.
I was ashamed of myself for saying such harsh words.
You know I'm an outlier, right?
Most judges have a degree from the National Law School.
But I only have a GED, which is a rarity in this field.
I studied really hard to work at a juvenile court.
Seriously.
I studied so hard that I even got blisters on my butt.
Why did you try so hard?
Hoping that they wouldn't live like me.
TRANSPORT MINISTRY OF JUSTICE
Cha Tae-ju is sentenced to probation number 10 for attempted patricide.
I hate my past.
I owe a lot to you…
for this trial.
Children who suffer from domestic abuse.
Children like that never grow up.
Ten years? Twenty years?
Time will pass by,
but they will just remain as an abused child regardless of that.
I used what you said to persuade Yu-ri's grandmother.
When she heard that, she just cried
without saying anything.
Gosh.
Grown-ups don't know
how much it hurts their children.
That's why my mother always brings me dried squid.
I never touch it
because it was that jerk's favorite.
My father was just like…
Yu-ri's father.
She's a victim.
Don't you care about her at all? She needs to be protected.
Why are you cornering her like that?
When I was little,
not the judge in charge of me,
there was another judge who helped me.
He whipped me into shape.
Are you nuts?
You turned the whole facility upside down. You know that?
I also came here right after a hearing to catch you.
The judge in charge of you is in a panic.
Think of your mother.
Don't you feel sorry for her?
If you do, get your act together.
Please.
After I passed the bar exam,
I was going to visit him.
But I couldn't.
I lost contact with him.
I'm not sure if I couldn't or didn't.
Now that over 10 years have passed,
I can't quite remember his face.
I'm…
I'm so regretful now.
I should've at least asked his name.
But I think that he's probably become
a better judge somewhere
because he was born to be a judge.
I've worked in the courts for 22 years.
It's now time for a change.
I'll leave the court
and join
the National Assembly.
Oh, boy.
I'd have a lot to say if I saw him again.
Let's drink, shall we?
MISSED CALL
WHERE ARE YOU HIDING AGAIN? DO YOU THINK I WON'T BE ABLE TO FIND YOU?
COURT
-Good morning, Judge Cha. -Good morning.
Have this. I bought two and got one free.
Thank you for the drink.
ASSOCIATE JUDGE'S OFFICE
Good morning.
Hi.
For a moment, I thought it was Monday.
You worked late on Friday as well.
I have a lot to read.
Well, it was "buy one, get one free."
Actually, I'm grateful to you, too.
You listened to my story when I was drunk.
Actually, it was my first time talking about myself--
It made me uncomfortable.
When my colleagues talk about their personal lives and secrets,
it's pretty bothersome.
I don't like it
when others know about me.
I see.
I missed the chance to tell you this then.
We're here together to work. Then let's just work.
Okay.
Counsel. Your statement.
Hyeon-ji admits to the charge
of making a fraudulent deal on an online thrift store
and regrets it deeply.
Her father also promised that he'd take better care of her
if you impose a mild punishment on her.
We ask for leniency.
Mr. Yoo. In the previous trial,
the court asked you to go to an alcoholism counseling center.
But you stopped going.
I had to work, so I couldn't go every time.
But you should have still gone!
Hyeon-ji won't change if you don't.
I'm sorry.
Do you work steadily these days?
The economy is so bad right now…
-You're a day laborer, correct? -Yes.
We'll send you to a vocational counseling center.
Get counseling.
And make sure to return
the 60,000 won
you obtained fraudulently to the victim, okay?
Yes, Your Honor.
Yoo Hyeon-ji. In the previous trials,
I gave you two chances.
But here you are in court again.
I'm sorry.
That's too bad. Since it's the third time, you're out.
The court has reached a decision. The court sentences Yoo Hyeon-ji
to a year of probation
and a year at a juvenile protection institution.
Your Honor.
Hyeon-ji.
Your Honor.
-Hyeon-ji… -You must leave now.
Hyeon-ji?
Let's change Hyeon-ji's sentence.
When she's released from the juvenile classification center,
send her to a juvenile care home
instead of a protection institution.
Not Shalom, but Pureum.
It weighs on your mind, doesn't it?
It's meaningless.
Yes, sir. I'll call Pureum Home for Girls right away.
Also, tell them that we'll be conducting an inspection this week.
Yes, sir.
What did he mean by that earlier?
Why was the sentencing meaningless?
How much did Hyeon-ji get from her scam this time?
-Just 60,000 won. -Exactly. Just 60,000 won.
We can't send her to a reformatory just for 60,000 won, right?
Right.
But he can't send her back home. He already gave her two chances.
So he was going to put her in a protection institution,
but then he questioned himself
whether it was an appropriate punishment for her.
She's 14, so she can't even work part-time.
And no one in her family has an income.
That's why she did it. She did it to survive.
Her alcoholic father, who doesn't take care of his daughter,
is the cause of the problem.
So he thought it was meaningless to impose a severe punishment on the child.
That's why he changed his mind
to send her to a juvenile care home
where she will be put under the care of a foster family.
I see.
He gave her a better environment instead of punishing her.
And while she's staying there,
her father can undergo alcoholism treatment
and get job counseling to build up the strength to raise his child again.
They say each court decision shows what the judge in charge is like.
That's quite unexpected.
Unexpected?
I'll tell Presiding Judge Kang that you said that.
You just don't know it. He's actually a good person.
By the way, why is it always Pureum?
WELCOME PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
Well, it's the first juvenile care home established by our court.
And, most importantly, it's run by Ms. O Seon-ja.
LETTER OF APPOINTMENT O SEON-JA
I know this has many questions, but take it seriously.
-Do it honestly. -Jeez.
Write down your names.
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT SURVEY
Yu-gyeong. Are you doing okay these days?
-Yes. -There are many reasons for anxiety.
For example, your future is uncertain.
Or you think your future is doomed.
Eun-sol got a good score on the GED
-and got two cooking certificates. -Yes.
So I suggest that she should go to a culinary arts school.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Don't thank me. Eun-sol did all the work.
-What? -Look at that.
Hey, what the…
Look, a hole! Hey, guys.
-Want some gimbap? -Are you done?
We're still on it.
You guys made a mess.
-This is more delicious. Here you go. -Okay.
Ms. O Seon-ja runs Pureum?
O Seon-ja, the star lecturer and youth counselor?
Yes.
That's awesome.
But it's rumored that she has a bad temper.
Hey, go out and see if you can find
a good-natured person among those who deal with young offenders?
This concerns their lives.
Do you think just anybody can stomach this work, moron?
You're right. Well, the people in this court prove that.
And above all else, Pureum's program is different.
Psychology consultation, career counseling,
and even coaching for guardians.
As you all know,
we have to start inspecting the facilities in the coming week.
Reformatories, juvenile classification centers,
Cheonurye, the protection institution, and the juvenile care homes.
The court has to inspect all the affiliated facilities once a year
to check the conditions
and to see if they're taking good care of young offenders
or if they've committed any irregularities.
If a prisoner escapes from prison,
judges don't need to go after them.
But if a young offender escapes from one of these homes,
juvenile judges have to either go after them or find a way to catch them.
Why? Because juvenile judges have to supervise them as well.
Well, I was thinking we should inspect the juvenile care home first.
Isn't this your first time?
Yes.
The previous court I was with didn't have affiliated homes.
Very well. It'll be helpful to see them yourself.
Judge Cha couldn't go last year. It's his first time, too.
-Yes. -Make some time tomorrow
and let's all go together. Okay?
Both of you are visiting Pureum Home for Girls tomorrow, right?
-Yes. -Then I suggest
you leave at eleven o'clock at the latest
and have lunch at a rest area.
Because it's located in Nonsan.
I see.
Juvenile care homes are not state-run detainment facilities
but typical family homes,
and the state can't properly support them financially.
That's why they're not in the metropolitan area,
since housing costs are quite high.
PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
Hello.
I'm O Seon-ja, the elderly friend of the youth. Nice to meet you.
All right. Let me ask you a question first.
Everyone. What's the question that children hate to be asked the most?
Yes, that's right.
Children hate all questions asked by grown-ups.
Yes, that's the correct answer.
There are two reasons.
First is because they assume you have an ulterior motive.
"What is my mom trying to nag me about this time?"
That's what they think.
The second is this. What is your dream?
I'm sorry that you have to go through this trouble.
I'll drive on the way back.
No, sir. It's nice to be outside, getting some fresh air.
That's good to hear.
Why don't you get some sleep on our way there?
We'll wake you up when we get to a rest area.
No. That's not polite to the driver.
LIST OF GIRLS AT PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
A total of eight girls.
Prostitution, fraud, theft, assault…
One even received a disposition notice.
It's the complete package.
-Are the highlighted ones from our court? -Yes. This home is only for girls.
Choi Yeong-na, O Yeon-ji, and Woo Min-gyeong. It's these three.
Yeong-na is the girl you're in charge of.
She was detained at a protection institution for prostitution.
Choi Yeong-na. Do you have any last words?
I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
I'm in charge of Yeon-ji and Min-gyeong,
who were put on probation for assault and theft.
It's run by a married couple?
Well…
Technically speaking, no.
Her husband, who works for a conglomerate,
was assigned to an overseas branch two years ago,
so Ms. O is running it by herself now.
With her two young daughters.
She's amazing.
She takes care of ten children by herself?
Gosh, where did he go again?
YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT
Hello? Juvenile Criminal Collegiate Division.
Yes, go ahead and speak.
Sorry? What are you saying?
PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
We're from Yeonhwa District Court.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Hi.
Hey. How have you been?
Hi, Ms. Joo.
Judge Cha. I'm calling you because I can't reach Presiding Judge Kang.
Well, someone
just made a report to our office.
YEONHWA DISTRICT COURT
Are you sure of what you just said?
Child abuse and embezzlement at one of the facilities?
If that's true, it is a really serious matter.
And where is that?
Oh, dear. Hey, girls. Why are you out?
I told you not to come out all at once when we have visitors.
Go back in at once. Go back in.
-Hello. -Hi.
-Are you doing well? -Of course. Go on in, please.
It's Pureum. Pureum Home for Girls.
Did you guys say hello?
-Yes. -Hurry up and go back in.
Go and get things ready, okay?
Are you sure it's Pureum?
Yes. I couldn't believe it either, so I asked several times.
It's definitely Pureum.
But it's only a suspicion, so just take it for what it's worth during the inspection.
Okay. I'll do that.
Bye.
Judge Cha Tae-ju?
Yes.
I've heard a lot about you. I'm O Seon-ja, I run the care home.
I see.
-My hands are dirty. -It's okay. I'm Cha Tae-ju.
-Please go on in. -Okay.
CONGRATULATIONS ON COMPLETING PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
-All right. -Get up and greet them properly.
-It's been a while. Let's take a picture. -Yes.
-Who can take it for us? -I'll do it.
Okay.
-You guys, too. -Here.
-Sit down. -Hello.
Yeon-ji and Min-gyeong, how have you been?
Judge Cha. Come here and take a picture with us.
Come here, guys.
-Hurry. -Here.
You two. Come and take a picture with us after this, okay?
Don't worry about them.
-All right. -They're my daughters.
I see!
They're better at taking photos than being in them.
All right. Ready?
One, two, three.
You should join us, Judge Cha.
-Good. -Okay.
Well, Presiding Judge Kang. I have something to tell you.
Okay. Go ahead.
Now you can all go back to what you were doing.
What exactly did she say?
She said someone reported child abuse and embezzlement.
Was it really Pureum?
It's only a suspicion, but she said we should take note of it.
Forget it then.
-Cover it up. -Presiding Judge Kang.
Try spending a day at the office.
They get that kind of call several times a day.
They say their kids have been abused or that they were blackmailed
while claiming to be the child's parent, uncle, or aunt.
Do you know why?
Because they want the court to suspect the facilities.
That will get them out of here sooner.
No matter how many false reports we get,
I think it's the court's duty to look into them.
Since we're the ones sending them here, we have to be responsible.
Considering the seriousness of the matter, we should look into it thoroughly, sir.
ASSEMBLYMAN EOM JUN-GI DO YOU HAVE TIME? LET'S HAVE DINNER.
I clearly told you.
Don't do it.
Well, then…
The inspection…
You two will be fine alone, right?
Sorry?
It was the TV station.
I have to go now.
But…
-Wait, Presiding Judge Kang. -What?
It's both our first time doing an inspection here.
It's not any different from other places.
Just do what you usually do.
Yeon-ji.
You too, Hye-rim.
And then after that…
The books, receipts, event photos, and bankbooks
that you requested are all in the office.
-Put the tea over there. -Okay.
Since there were fewer kids here than at a protection institution,
I thought we'd be done soon.
But there's more to check than I thought. How should we do this?
Should we just go home? I'm about to be pretty annoyed.
I'm sorry. I was lost in thought.
I know how you feel,
but do you really think it's the court's duty?
Sorry?
No matter how many false reports we get,
I think it's the court's duty to look into them.
It's not just about finding out whether or not it's a lie.
To some people,
the court's inspection could be seen as unfair and unreasonable.
When the state designates a home like this one,
they need to review all those who are involved
and check the many requisites they must meet.
Because it's closely tied
with government offices and all kinds of permits.
It isn't just about our court.
That's why Presiding Judge Kang disapproved and why we should be discreet.
Yes, I'm aware of that.
DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
And if your suspicion is right,
they'll be exposed even if we don't do anything.
because children are impatient.
Mom.
Goodness, my daughter.
Thank you.
You're the best. Oh, dear.
This is nice.
Where are A-jin and the other girls?
She's holed up upstairs and won't come out even if I call her.
That rude bitch, for God's sake.
Can you please stop cursing?
The girls on duty went to the senior home and the rest are being questioned.
Questioned?
What do you mean?
I don't know. The judges called them.
Isn't it part of the inspection?
What are you saying?
This isn't the first time they visited.
Since when did they interview the kids?
Mom.
When did they take them?
A while ago.
She's the devil.
The juvenile classification center was much better.
This place is shit.
Can you elaborate on that?
Let's eat.
-Thank you for the food. -Thank you for the food.
It's a sin to leave leftovers.
If you leave any, you're having it for dinner. Got it?
-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.
Ms. O.
This rice seems to have gone bad.
What are you saying? It's edible.
It won't kill you.
But still, this is…
Can you give us another?
Gosh.
You wouldn't have had any better back home.
Why are you so picky?
Don't eat then. You don't deserve it.
I'm sorry, Ms. O.
I'll eat it. Please let me eat.
Aren't you done eating?
Since you're finished, go back to your room.
Please forgive me.
Darn it!
Whining at the table, damn it.
Don't cry or I'll beat you.
Crying doesn't solve anything here.
Go upstairs.
Go ahead and eat. You have to go to school.
This early in the morning?
What a nuisance.
She did that to all of us.
She treats us like shit because she feeds us.
But she gives us spoiled food.
And she makes us do laundry, clean the house, or wash dishes.
We clean our neighbors' houses too
like bums.
She starves us if we don't work.
I was told not to tell others about this.
Just tell us.
Actually, one of the girls is in a hospital now.
For God's sake!
Hey. Hey!
Come here.
Come here. How dare you?
-How dare you? -Please forgive me!
-Do you want to die or what? -Please forgive me!
How dare you talk back? Do you think I'm your buddy?
-Damn it! Watch your mouth. -Please, stop.
Her name is Do Yu-gyeong.
She talked back to her once and…
You know what happens if you lie to us, right?
It's true.
But why is this not in the following year?
-Number one. Yes. -Yes.
A witness, maybe…
Events or…
-Snacks. -Yes.
-Groceries. -Yes.
Twenty…
GLAMPING IN FALL SEPTEMBER 25, 2021
Got it.
-It checks out. -Okay.
You've made a difficult decision.
Thank you, sir.
It's all thanks to Representative Eom.
You look much more handsome in real life.
You have sharp features.
Is that so?
I'm not kidding.
I think you'll become a great man.
He's the chairman of SY Chemicals.
-He wanted to meet you badly. -I see.
Everyone in the party got help from him.
Don't you worry about anything, Presiding Judge Kang.
As for me, when I put my mind to something,
I achieve it by all means.
I'll make sure that you end up
wearing an assemblyman's badge in the near future.
Thank you, sir.
I thought it'd take you quite a while to make the decision.
Yes, I thought so too.
But your words lingered in my mind.
"It's time the Assembly
opened its ears to the youth."
Oh, boy. You know…
I can be pretty scary in the courthouse.
See? I'm a shrewd judge of character.
It's not just the dinner.
I've made plans for the entire night.
You can look forward to it.
All right. Let's have a drink.
Okay.
PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
Did they say that I did that?
It's the court that punishes them,
but I'm the one who takes care of them every day.
You see them only for two to three hours when you visit,
but we're the ones who wrestle with them
on a daily basis to bring about change.
What's the big deal?
Let's eat.
-Thank you for the food. -Thank you for the food.
It's a sin to leave leftovers.
If you leave any, you're having it for dinner. Got it?
-Yes. -Okay.
-It's hot. -Ms. O.
I'll finish this food. In return, would you allow us to smoke?
What?
Then I promise I'll behave.
-Me, too. -Don't make me laugh.
-This sucks. -I knew it wouldn't work.
Come on, this isn't an institution. We're not here to be punished.
-Am I wrong, Ji-eun? -No, not at all.
-You all have lots to say, don't you? -We do.
Why are you so strict?
The other homes allow smoking.
Where? Which homes allow such a thing?
Stop talking nonsense.
-This place is too uptight. -Just eat your meal.
Dammit.
Is she out of her mind?
What are you doing?
You just threw precious food.
"You wouldn't have had any better back home."
Is that what you think?
Stop glaring at me.
There's a limit to my patience.
Fuck it. I won't eat.
Don't eat then. You don't deserve it.
This early in the morning?
What a nuisance.
"What a nuisance."
Be quiet and eat.
I seriously contemplated whether I should let her smoke.
She said she'd behave if I let her.
She said the other homes turn a blind eye.
But that's not right.
No schools allow their students to smoke.
I don't allow my own children to smoke.
They said
you also made them work
at your neighbors' houses.
Is that what they said?
Judge Cha.
How long do you think it takes to build a place like this in Korea?
Sorry?
I don't know. Maybe one or two years?
Four years.
It took this place four years.
An eyesore facility!
-We oppose! -We oppose!
LAND RESERVED FOR PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
That's the time it took to get consent from the people
in this neighborhood even before construction began.
No matter how young the children here are,
they're just criminals in the eyes of regular people.
-Sir. -Stop building a facility for criminals!
Stop it!
So when kids come here, the first things I teach them
are housework and greetings.
-Stop it. -Whatever.
Hey, you almost got me wet.
Whatever the excuse may be,
it's true that they did wrong.
Then there's only one way to overcome the prejudice against them,
which is to take the bull by the horns
and do volunteer work.
High-five, grandpa!
That was cool.
Shake your butt.
Shake your butt! Shake it!
And?
Have the people changed?
Of course.
These kids, who were used to having fingers pointed at them,
are now used to receiving compliments.
Then why did they make such statements?
Because they know
that nothing is compulsory here.
They came here because
they have no guardians to look after them or because they committed crimes.
They know that this is a juvenile care home,
different from reformatories or institutions
where they are forcibly detained.
They're protesting to make the rules less strict.
You were duped by them.
We know that they lied to us.
Yu-gyeong is in a hospital
because Ms. O assaulted her?
Yes.
Call the hospital where Do Yu-gyeong is.
Don't you know the number?
DAE GYEONG HOSPITAL ORTHOPEDICS OFFICE
Hello? General Ward of Orthopedics.
This is Do Yu-gyeong's guardian.
How is Yu-gyeong doing?
She's a bit lazy with her rehab exercises,
but she's getting better.
How was she when she arrived at the hospital?
Can you tell us in detail why she underwent surgery?
Who is this?
We can't give out information about our patients unless you're a guardian.
This is Judge Sim Eun-seok from Yeonhwa District Court.
You must've received an official document asking for cooperation by now.
We're about to initiate legal proceedings for a case involving this patient.
One moment, please.
Yes. We've received the document.
She had surgery because her femur was fractured.
And she testified to the police that she was assaulted by a mob of girls her age.
That's what it says on her record.
I see. Thank you.
Judge Sim. Let me explain.
It was her. She started it.
You fucking bitch. I told you not to piss me off.
Yes.
You're right, Ms. O.
People like you play a much bigger role
than us judges
who spend only two or three hours
with these young offenders.
We're well aware of that.
But that's another story.
The court subsidies.
You're given 500,000 won per child every month.
Where did you spend it?
These documents should tell you.
Visits to museums or concerts, play therapy,
outdoor activities like field trips, and food expenses.
You charged us
4.5 million more won last month, which is much more than last year.
But the children
claim that they didn't take part in such activities.
And most of the documents and receipts
were also missing.
I was looking forward to meeting you
since you have a clear set of values.
I'm disappointed.
I guess money does make the world go round.
I just needed it briefly.
I was going to put it back. I mean it.
The problem here is that you used the money
for personal use.
The inspection of Pureum Home for Girls is over now.
It has disclosed details of the group assault at the home
and embezzlement
that you didn't report to the court.
All of these documents will be taken for further investigation.
You can expect a visit from special investigators
or a summons to appear in court.
Wait…
Wait a minute, please.
Judge Sim.
Depending on the outcome of the investigation,
the court may take steps to annul the status of this home.
Furthermore, the court may cancel all permits
and take criminal proceedings against you.
Judge Sim.
Wait…
We have to report this to Presiding Judge Kang, right?
I'll do it tomorrow.
Are you going straight home?
No. To the hospital.
Do Yu-gyeong.
We should hear her side of the story.
Okay.
DO YU-GYEONG, AGE 16 DAE GYEONG HOSPITAL
She used the money…
for my surgery.
The girls' parents
refused to pay for the surgery.
They said there was no evidence.
And I lost contact with my mom…
a long time ago when she remarried.
My doctor said I wouldn't be able to walk
if I didn't have surgery right away, so…
It all happened because of me. Can't you let this slide just this once?
I'll work and pay back the money.
While I was staying there,
I had decent meals and slept comfortably
for the first time in my life.
I was overjoyed and grateful every day.
And I realized
that being loved
is when someone puts a side dish on my rice.
I promised myself that I'd live a good life.
I found this new purpose
because I want to repay her for her kindness.
But she shouldn't have kept it a secret from the court.
I asked her not to report it to the court.
I begged her.
I was afraid that I'd be kicked out of there.
I can't go anywhere else.
I want to stay with Ms. O.
I was looking forward to meeting you since you have a clear set of values.
I'm disappointed.
I guess money does make the world go round.

Mom.
-Mom. -Kim A-jin.
A-jin.
-Judge Cha. -What happened?
What should I do, Judge Cha? My mom…
-Let's go. -My mom…
PUREUM HOME FOR GIRLS
LETTER OF APPOINTMENT
Ms. O.
Ms. O!
Where's Ms. O?
Where are the kids?
Where did they all go?
What happened?
Kim A-reum.
Mom…
was taken by ambulance to the hospital a while ago.
She suddenly collapsed.
What?
Mom. Are you okay, Mom?
What's wrong? Are you okay?
Mom!
Open your eyes, Mom!
I thought about it.
It's all because of those bitches.
It was because of them that Mom collapsed today.
And it's because of them that I don't get to see my dad.
Mom said Dad can't come visit because he was assigned overseas.
But that's all a lie. They got a divorce
because of this.
Because of this damn care home that Mom wouldn't give up on!
Those bitches are the ones to blame.
A few days ago, my sister had bad cramps,
so she was taken to the emergency room.
But Mom didn't come
because feeding those bitches mattered more to her than A-jin in the ER.
Just…
We were…
We'd always come next.
Shit, we were almost caught. We could have been screwed.
-I know. -Shut the fuck up.
Be quiet.
Gosh, I'm afraid that we'll get caught.
Shut up.
Hey, go faster. It's freaking cold.
Don't push me.
-How far do we have to go? -Wait, guys.
So? Were you just standing there watching them while they ran away?
Were you glad that they left?
No.
Then?
I told them to get out.
What?
I told them to get out of my house!
Hey.
-Hey! -Hey, you fucking bitch!
Hey, what the fuck! Are you on drugs or what?
What a crazy fucking bitch.
-Hey! -You fucking bitch!
-Are you out of your mind? -Stop it.
-Hey! -That's enough.
Hey!
Hey, do you want to follow your mom to the hospital?
Hey.
You fucking bitch!
Are you nuts?
I'm not the one who's crazy.
It's you.
Get lost!
Hey, stop her!
Hey, you crazy fucking bitch!
-Let go of her! -Let go!
-Hey! -Get the fuck off!
Get her off me, fuck!
-Are you okay, Yeong-na? -Yeong-na.
-Are you okay? -She must be crazy.
That bitch is crazy. What's wrong with her?
-What's she doing? -What the fuck is she trying to do?
Seriously, what the fuck.
Get out!
It's all over now.
Both this home
and those bitches.
It's all over.
Mom.
Judge Cha.
Are you okay now?
Doctor. The patient regained consciousness.
All right.
Yeon-ji. Wait for us.
Come on.
Gosh, what is this place?
-Hey. Are you okay? -Darn it.
What's wrong?
Are you okay? You should've been careful.
Let's go back. We can't walk there.
It'll be another hour to the train station.
And if we do? I guess that bitch will welcome us with open arms.
If you don't want to go then get lost, you fucking bitch.
I'll go by myself.
-Hey, get up. -Come on, get up.
Be careful.
-I can't walk anymore! -Hey, hold on.
Hey. You have some money, right?
Hand it over.
I said, hand it over.
JUDGE CHA TAE-JU
Well…
I think it's been about three hours.
No.
We came here for an inspection, when someone reported--
Just a second, please.
I'll call you back.
It was you.
SIM EUN-SEOK
UNIT 302, DONGGUK VILLAGE 54 YEONHWA-RO 9-GIL
Yes, I found it.
But I seem to have missed her.
The person…
who wants this home to be shut down.
The one who made the report…
was you.
