Dad!
Motherfucker...
- Fucking bastard! - What? What is it?
You call that driving, asshole?
Yeah, I drive like this, you fucking bitch!
What did you say?
Sir, you got a kid, go on your way, fucking hobo!
- I'm a hobo now? - What are you gonna do?
- Do something! Go on! - Get out of there!
- You got worked up, fucker! - Come on out!
Do something, dipshit!
You picked on the wrong guy.
Dad! Don't do it, please don't!
Dad, let's just go!
Dad!
- Dad! Please! - You son of a bitch!
Dad, please stop!
Come at me, fucker!
Hit me, come on!
Oh my...
Oh... Oh god!
A girl is pinned down!
Someone do something!
Call 911! Now!
- Where is the blood coming from? - Right here.
- We need tape. - Tape! Tape!
More. Yes, give it here.
Here it is.
Give me some more.
Run!
That's it!
Out of the way!
Get off, get off!
Daddy must be home.
He's here.
Where's Ji-su?
She's in the workout room, what'd you like for dinner?
Could you make me some ramyun, please?
Of course.
Welcome home, did you have dinner?
I'm gonna have some ramyun.
Always ramyun.
Our maid specializes in traditional Korean food.
She's very good.
You're the one who should eat, and stop working out.
I need to lose 4kg more.
You're already so pretty.
Because I work out.
Hye-yoon, going somewhere?
To uncle's, Si-ho needs some help with math.
I see.
I told stepmom about it.
Could you stop saying 'step'?
Why?
If it gets late, I'll call ahead.
Sweetie.
Got any spending money?
Thank you.
You should be, there's no ATM like your dad.
I readily volunteer. So, how much?
I'll put it on your desk.
A road rager who killed another driver was apprehended by the police.
They will investigate this incident as a retaliatory auto assault.
Our field reporter has the story.
A red sedan weaves dangerously
through the traffic Ilsan, Gyeonggi.
A moment later, an SUV stops in front.
The victim, who was in his 30s,
swings his bat on the hood.
In response, the driver in his 20s accelerates.
The victim died on the spot,
and his 8-year-old daughter
was taken to the ER.
YTN, Kim So-jin.
Osung Group's third son?
Do I have to do this?
How much?
Hello.
How is she?
Dr. Yang, I was told the surgery went well,
but why isn't she speaking yet?
It's likely from the shock.
There was no damage to her brain.
Doctor, will she ever walk again?
She'll walk, run, go to school, and everything in between.
Her dad was a baseball player.
The driver thought he was a thug,
because he had a bat in the car, and a tattoo on his arm.
But it's this one, it's got our daughter's name and footprints.
I got the same one too!
I wasn't gonna cry in the hospital...
There's a chapel in the lobby, you can cry freely there.
Thank you...
She's the one from the news, right?
Yes.
It's a pity.
She'll need follow up surgery. Check her condition and get a date.
That might be tough.
Why?
Admin said they haven't paid the bill yet.
So heartless...
Still set a date, saving a life is the priority.
What if you get scolded again like last time?
I'll say that you did it.
Fuck it! Let's go!
Bam! We gotta take down that asshole on the road!
Here comes the bat.
- He has to. - Hit him.
- Do it.
- Hurry! - Go!
Hit him!
Fucking crush him!
Those asshole drivers gotta be slammed!
Is he dead for real?
Guys, I used all my creds to bring you this footage.
Make sure you like and subscribe...
Wanna vape?
I got it.
- I'm home. - Welcome.
Is Jae-wan back? My son Jae-wan.
It's Jae-gyu, your doctor son.
Tell Jae-wan to come home. He needs his dinner.
Why do you keep asking for that useless lawyer son?
He had a baby at his age, and is busy singing lullabies.
I'm gonna go.
I need to fix Jae-wan dinner.
Mother, this is your home.
You crazy bitch!
How dare you try to starve Jae-wan to death!
She's keeping me locked up.
- Mother! - Mom...
Don't touch me, you goddamn shrew!
Mom!
What's with you?
Please lie down, ma'am.
Mother is so full of energy.
Ma'am, you're so strong.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
I'm used to it by now.
Tell your brother to leave all her inheritance to me.
Yeah, okay...
Come on.
Hye-yoon's stepmom called.
Why?
For dinner, of course.
She wanted to fix a date so Jae-wan could reserve a table.
Is he starting a gourmet club?
Will she bring her rice cakes again?
It was good, bean paste flower, wasn't it?
Rice cakes are just rice cakes, trying to sound all fancy.
She's got a ton of licenses too.
Nail art, pilates, yoga, floristry, she does everything.
She hit the jackpot, getting noticed while delivering rice cakes to a law firm.
He sure is consistent.
He loved rice cakes since he was a kid.
Battering the rice cake girl now.
Hi, Hye-yoon.
I'll be off.
Hye-yoon, thank you for your help.
Honey, she came to tutor Si-ho.
Thank you, Hye-yoon.
He's studying hard?
Yes, he's doing his homework.
Don't just stand there, give her some allowance.
Yes, of course.
Thank you.
I got no cash, you got any?
This is so embarrassing.
Wait, I might have some in my room.
I'm just gonna go.
No need to say good bye to grandma.
She must be a handful, aunty.
Hye-yoon, I almost forgot.
Dope.
Here.
Thank you, aunty.
That's not free, consider it an advance.
Let's volunteer together when you go to college.
Sure.
Uncle is really taking his time.
Judging from the incident report,
the deceased intimidated you first while wielding a weapon, right?
That's right.
You felt threatened for your life,
and due to extreme fear, you only wanted to get out of there.
Yes.
I never thought he'd attack so suddenly.
That's just it.
You weren't trying to fight, but made a mistake
while fleeing, that's the fact.
You swore because you were panicking.
In the security cam footage, you reversed first.
You were securing space to swerve around him.
Yes.
Your memory may feel fuzzy, but your testimony must be consistent.
Yes, attorney Yang.
We're continuing to work with the victim's family to settle.
They won't last long.
What if they don't settle?
Everyone gets weak before their children.
Yo! You love to suck, huh?
Suck, suck, suck!
You sick fuck.
So disgusting!
You okay?
- Sorry, man. - Let me see.
I'm sorry, moron.
What are you doing?
What the hell.
What the...
Let's go.
Delete that.
Fine.
Why let them step all over you?
What is it again?
You know that adults are having dinner tonight?
Yeah.
Let's get some fresh air.
You'll be hungry after classes at 11.
Don't eat junk food from convenience stores.
The maid will fix you something when you get home.
Okay.
Don't watch too much YouTube.
Si-ho?
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Is it Si-ho?
Can you go alone?
Mother got rowdy earlier, and scolded the maid too.
You got all dolled up and you'll just go home?
You put in so much effort today.
Not as much as Mrs. Yang.
Could you stop with 'Mrs. Yang'?
It'll become a habit.
I don't have the will to call her by her name.
I can't be too friendly with her.
You're not getting insecure over it, are you?
Are you nuts?
How is she better than me? Besides her youth?
- That's it. - What is?
Her youth.
Youth is everything.
Do you feel wronged that you married an older woman?
I'll admit what I have to.
Come on, I'm just kidding.
You really are stunning tonight.
For real.
Get in.
Hello to you too.
You know Jaiden, the UCLA dude.
Could you...
One moment...
Good evening!
Money is everything.
Feel wronged? Admit what you have to.
You're here!
Evening, Yeon-kyung.
We should've arrived earlier.
Have you been well?
You're so beautiful today.
Who'd take you for a new mom?
Stop saying things you don't mean and let's go inside.
Back in 1755, during Louis XV's rule,
Richelieu of Bordeaux returned to Paris,
and the king asked him his secret to keeping his youth,
and Richelieu said he found the fountain of youth,
and gifted this wine to the king.
- Drink as you like. - Wow.
Then I should drink plenty.
Please drink as much as you like.
We brought two bottles.
I could be paged at any moment. So, tell us why we're here.
It's about mom.
I looked into a nursing home that's quite good.
A nursing home?
Jae-gyu, it's a nursing home in name only.
It's more like a luxury resort.
A resort?
There are specialists and nurses on site working around the clock.
They'll do laundry, clean and provide meals and topnotch service too.
The exercise facilities are incredible.
You two should live there then.
Jae-gyu, don't just look at it so pessimistically.
The staff takes care of residents better than their own children do.
You're so selfish.
Si-ho will be prepping for college soon.
He'll need her full attention.
Yeon-kyung can't let out a peep.
Am I right?
College prep is indeed a full time job.
You and I are terrible brothers.
I wanted to bring mom home after Hye-yoon goes to college,
but I got a baby now.
Come on, a baby at your age is like a trophy.
They require $200,000 deposit, and $6,000 monthly,
so just cover $1,000 a month.
Seriously? Money is not the issue!
You're outside all day, but think about her.
She wouldn't have offered if she wasn't willing.
We had no choice back then, with my first wife's passing.
I even sent Hye-yoon to your place.
Thinking about that time, I'm so thankful to Yeon-kyung.
I should've taken in mother then.
I learned that being a mom to a high school senior is no joke.
And Hye-yoon even takes care of herself quite well.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Are you implying that Si-ho can't do anything himself?
No, of course not...
This is puffer fish sashimi.
Alongside it is 20-year-old soy sauce. Have a great meal.
Can I get some hot pepper paste?
Yes, I'll bring you some.
Nice! Nice!
We lost again!
Oh man...
Chug it!
Chug it! Chug it!
Chug it!
He can't drink. I'll drink it for him.
Drinking is not even a penalty for a whale like you.
The person you're calling is not available...
Where are you, Si-ho? Call me after private class.
This is suffocating.
I can't breathe...
Oh gosh.
How was the food?
Very good.
Pretty good, right?
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This restaurant was featured in the Michelin Guide...
Is that so?
Could we be friends?
No, I prefer not. I'd be uncomfortable.
Yes, ma'am.
Here.
Here?
No, to the right.
Here?
Look at the mirror.
What is she on about?
Ugh, really?
Mom called.
She said Yeon-kyung was emptying her bank account.
Nothing your wife does will put her in good light.
To be frank, you just don't want to lose face as a doctor
for sending his mom to a nursing home.
Lose face?
Fine, how come you don't save face?
I stopped caring for that after having a baby in my 50s.
Anyway, I get nervous whenever you want to have dinner.
Always saying nonsense after feeding me expensive food.
By the way,
your hospital's treating Kim Na-rae, right?
I'm representing her perpetrator.
Incredible. You'll do anything for money.
Her mother implies that it was intentional.
That's her opinion. It looks to be self-defense.
At worse, involuntary manslaughter.
How can you tell?
That's not important. It's the law that judges.
The kid's hurt and her dad's dead, and the truth isn't important?
Just involuntary manslaughter?
It's not me saying that, it's the law.
Tell her mom to settle this.
Who do you think will bleed if they go to trial?
And you'll be the one who will bleed them.
Make sure you save her.
We want that more than anything.
You have a thing for making me lose my appetite.
You're doing your work, and I'm doing mine.
You're doing it to make money, and I'm doing it to save people.
I'm evil and you're noble, so be a filial son.
Why? You're the one with more kids.
Hey.
Filial son.
Keep your mother's smile for a long time.
Treatment begins as soon as you enter.
Rich people first again? Looks like they're gone already.
If you're jealous, open your own clinic.
He got his key and went to the parking lot.
A lawyer who drinks and drives.
What did you two talk about?
Free meals do not exist.
I'm lucky if I don't get an upset stomach from his meal.
Come on.
Plenty of brothers never share a meal.
I guess you had fun tonight.
That resort...
I mean nursing home. Should we check it out?
What?
You want to?
I heard about that place.
- Top medical staff... - Sir! Over here!
Sorry for being late!
What was that?
What would've happened if I swerved and hit you?
Go away!
Would it have been intentional or by mistake?
The court will take into account that you were standing on the road.
But if you hire
an expensive lawyer like me, it'd be involuntary manslaughter.
Later.
See you soon!
Ma'am!
That crazy bitch...
Don't speak fucking English!
Aren't we going home?
Holy fucking shit!
Christ...
Si-ho! Wait for me!
Why didn't you answer your phone?
Did something happen?
I didn't know my phone was off.
I called your private class, you didn't attend math.
I was tired after English, so I napped at the gaming café.
You know how hard it was to get you into that class?
Others are studying harder than you.
What? A gaming café? With who?
Forget it, don't be dramatic.
Did you drink?
Really? I'm going to sleep.
Hey, Si-ho!
I'm so exhausted!
Sweetheart.
If it's too much, should we drop some classes?
Hm?
Student Record
He transferred to this neighborhood during middle school, right?
Yes.
He was already behind when he transferred.
If he falls behind anymore, he won't go to a good college.
Can't your husband create a field study for him at the hospital?
Must we go that far?
Good morning!
He's still not adjusting at school.
His homeroom teacher asked if he could try a field study.
Yeah, field study is great, ask him if he wants to.
No, I have to ask you.
Because he'll do it at your hospital.
Here?
Let him get some dad benefits.
Let's not do that.
You're making me sad.
You said you'd pay more attention to him.
Not paying attention is paying attention at that age.
Are you gonna keep this up? Pretending to be the good cop?
Who will get the blame if he gets bad results?
All right.
I'll talk to Si-ho fir...
The defendant felt threatened for his safety,
and stepped on the accelerator in order to swerve around the victim.
He panicked and could not swerve enough to avoid hitting him.
The defendant is remorseful of the incident and is doing his best
to settle with the victim's family.
The defendant's act was not intentional murder,
but involuntary manslaughter stemmed from a mistake.
It's daddy.
- Rice broth? - Yeah.
More milk?
About volunteering at my hospital,
you don't have to do it, if you don't want to.
If you think you'll be proud of yourself...
What do you think?
I honestly don't think you should.
If that's okay with you.
Why?
I want you to become someone with high integrity.
Even if you don't go to a good college.
All right, I won't do it.
Good, that's my son.
How do I tell this to mom?
- Good morning. - Hello.
Good morning!
- Good morning. - Welcome.
- It's been too long! - Good to see you.
Indeed.
Heshani is the girl we must focus on.
At the age of 14, who requires attention and protection,
Heshani had to support herself amidst her family's indifference.
She resorted to panhandling,
having grown up with dark and scary childhood memories.
And poverty made her weak,
ignorance and abuse made her life even darker.
Heshani needs your attention and love.
assault against a homeless man.
This incident was almost ignored, but a security camera witnessed...
That story is blowing up lately.
Yeah?
2 assaulters are wanted, here is the full story.
At 11:45 PM, a young couple starts assaulting a man on the street.
How's Si-ho?
The victim tries to defend himself but the assault continues...
Yes, of course.
He must be so big now.
My boy doesn't listen to me, that little bastard...
They are seen dragging the unconscious man into a dark alley.
- Careful. - Yeah.
The assaulters are presumed to be in their late teens.
The owner of the security camera reported to the police,
and they are in search of these two teens.
Here's the full story.
At 11:45 PM, a young couple starts assaulting a man on the street.
The victim tries to defend himself,
but the assault continues indiscriminately.
The victim collapses on the ground,
but the assault goes on for over 30 minutes.
They are seen dragging the unconscious man into a dark alley.
The assaulters are presumed to be in their late teens.
I'm home.
Put your clothes on.
What is it?
I saw something.
See what?
Two teens beating someone up.
Did you see it?
What is it?
One of the teens in the video...
wore the same shirt as yours.
It wasn't me.
What's with you?
Right.
It wasn't you.
It wasn't, it wasn't...
Of course not...
Come on in.
Darling, what brings you here?
I want to talk to you about something.
Yeah?
What could it be?
I know a girl, who might be in trouble.
A girl you know? A friend?
Not really a friend, just a junior I know.
Legal Affairs Guideline
The Art of Innocence
Go on.
Dad, keep what I tell you strictly confidential.
You came to retain my services?
What is it?
Something serious?
In your view, is this a crime,
or can you make it go away?
What are you doing?
What was she wearing when she came home late?
This one.
Why?
What is it?
2 teenagers brutally assaulted a homeless man.
What do you think?
a security camera witnessed the entire incident.
The owner of the security camera reported to the police,
and they are in search of these two teens.
Here's the full story.
Do we have a lighter?
a young couple starts assaulting a man on the street...
The victim has not regained his consciousness.
Let's start on the facial composite when he wakes up.
Yeah, and look into co-ed high schools nearby and text me.
Right away.
Okay, thanks.
We have to check cell signals that passed through that alley.
Get on it right away.
Let's get them.
Yes, sir.
This is a service station that runs 24 hours a day.
We are able to meet any emergencies that come up.
As you know, our facility provides both western and eastern medicine.
And we have 4 live-in specialists.
What's with you, drinking in daylight?
Jae-gyu.
Yeah?
Now that I'm a parent, I think I understand parents a bit.
But I understand my child less and less.
I bet mom felt the same way.
Can you figure Si-ho out?
Kids nowadays don't talk to their parents.
Teens even more so.
There's an assault video that's going viral online.
It was on the news too.
Two teens assaulted a homeless man.
So?
I think they're our kids.
What are you talking about?
Hye-yoon and Si-ho.
The homeless man is in the ICU.
He's not looking good.
Wait...
What happened? Was it an accident?
A small deer.
You should've gone to the ER, why did you come home?
Here's the next news.
In an underpass only 10 minutes from a police station,
2 teenagers brutally assaulted a homeless man.
This incident was almost ignored, but a security camera witnessed
the entire incident...
You knew.
Knew what?
It's Si-ho and Hye-yoon, right?
What?
Is this them? Look at it!
How is that Si-ho, no way.
He said no.
You talked to him?
Yeah, he said it's not him.
It's not?
You sure?
Here's the next news.
In an underpass only 10 minutes from a police station,
2 teenagers brutally assaulted a homeless man.
Stop watching that!
Where is he right now?
Don't.
Just trust him.
A parent should trust their child.
This is beyond a trust issue!
It's not him!
Si-ho, I need to talk to you.
You step outside.
He said it's not him.
Si-ho.
It's not me.
Yang Si-ho.
I didn't even ask you a question.
I already finished talking to mom.
Finished talking about what?
Look into my eyes and tell me!
Mother will hear you, he said no!
You stay out of this!
That wasn't me.
Look into my eyes and tell me.
I told mom already.
Yang Si-ho! Is this you or not?
No.
It's not?
Are you sure?
He says no.
Are you absolutely sure?
Goddammit, it's not me!
Are you nuts? How could you hit him!
Is it you or not!
He denied it, stop it!
Hye-yoon spilled everything!
I don't know! It's not me!
I don't even remember!
Then are you saying she did it alone?
Yeah, I didn't hit him!
That bastard spit on us and swore at us first!
We were going to walk away,
then he picked fight with us, and she tried to shove him away.
I only hit him a few times...
You little...
You're used to getting beaten up, why hit someone suddenly?
- Come with me! Come! - Honey, don't! No!
Mom...
Please, honey. Don't hit him.
Please go, mother.
He may look gentle, but he's cruel.
Be careful.
Okay, please go back to sleep.
Our maid went all out for you.
Have plenty.
Is this someone's birthday dinner?
I don't know if it's good news or bad news for us,
but the victim is still in a coma.
What if he wakes up?
We'll have to come up with a plan,
but the real problem is how viral the video is.
Who'd recognize them as our kids?
We know because we're their parents.
Who knows, the video isn't very clear though...
Only Hye-yoon's face was visible.
And just Si-ho's back.
Is that important right now?
Of all days,
it's the day we got together to have dinner.
I told you we shouldn't go.
I feel sorry.
You feel sorry?
I meant, I'm sorry.
Why is this woman present during our family meeting?
Yeon-kyung, how could you call her that?
I have to change diapers.
Do it here.
We're eating here.
Ji-su, please sit down.
What is it?
Get it to him in a lump sum.
What could he say when he can have the money now?
What the hell for?
If he was going to listen, he would've already done so!
Just get it done at once!
What do the police know?
There's no witness report,
and the victim hasn't been IDed.
Hye-yoon said there wasn't anyone around.
What if they turn themselves in?
Honey!
Will they get an extenuation?
They'll need to retain a lawyer.
Once charges are filed,
it's crucial to know which prosecutor will take on this case.
What if they don't get caught?
And if the homeless man dies...
Then our kids become killers.
Don't talk like that!
I'm a doctor.
I can't wish someone to die.
Jae-gyu.
Do you really want them to turn themselves in?
They have to be responsible.
What about you?
What do you want?
I don't...
want them to go to trial, nothing more.
You want this covered up?
We have to think about their future.
And taking responsibility isn't only reserved for them.
It'd be problematic if a hotshot lawyer's child becomes a killer?
Be realistic, you saw those articles,
public sentiment on parents of these cases.
I just want to assess the situation as it develops and make a decision.
So, wait till he dies and it becomes a perfect crime?
He won't live or die because we want it that way.
Do you even have a conscience?
Which hospital is the victim at?
Why?
Just asking, I feel bad.
You want to go visit him?
I asked because I feel helpless, as there's nothing we can do now.
Why isn't there any?
Exactly what I said.
There's nothing we can do to help the victim,
and same for the kids.
Nothing we can do?
I told you, she wouldn't say that if she was the real mother!
Calm down.
How could I? You're talking about taking them to the police!
Yeon-kyung.
We're coming up with options, so please calm down.
Honey, Sa-rang.
I'm leaving.
How could a father not take his son's side?
You must be so proud to be so rational right now.
Kill me first if you say anything like that again!
When Si-ho was bullied at school,
he was all 'Mr. Moral Compass'.
Why are you bringing that up!
If kids turned out like parents intended, why'd anyone go to church?
He has no clue how worried and upset I was!
You idiot, how could you not get it!
How will you make him take responsibility?
Will you really let him go to juvie?
A man could die, but you want him to eat his meals, go to school,
and live like nothing happened? That makes sense?
Hye-yoon's stepmom was right.
There's nothing to do.
Not a damn thing.
Come with me.
Where are you going?
Get in.
What?
Get in the car!
- Where are you going? - The police station.
What's with you?
Just stop it, are you nuts?
You won't report this, you think you can?
Yes.
Then do it.
What'd I do if I was Hye-yoon's birth mom?
Where should I put this?
I had this thought,
am I earnestly worrying about Hye-yoon,
or worrying about you, Sa-rang and me.
Have you ever openly talked with her?
This is their matter, but we aren't even curious
about what they think.
Why sigh?
It's nothing.
What will you do with him?
If you ever mention reporting again,
I will kill you.
You saved the lives of so many children.
We did so many good deeds!
We deserve that.
Don't we?
Here.
Ha-yul, are you taking all your meds?
Na-rae, Kim Na-rae.
Right, Na-rae.
Yes, she's taking all her meds.
We'll continue monitoring her.
Doctor, do the new meds have any side effects?
Is there a problem?
Did you not explain the meds properly to her guardian?
I sure did.
Then why is she asking that?
I don't know, I'll explain it to...
It's because you didn't do it right the first time!
I'm really sorry.
Na-rae woke up 3 times last night, so I thought it could be the meds.
I guess not...
Doctor.
Your handkerchief.
Oh...
I'll explain it later. Sorry.
Hello.
You tattled on me, huh?
You spilled your guts first.
What's with that tone? Gonna be an asshole now?
So why did you have to tell uncle?
The video's going viral, I had to do something.
I told him it was a friend's case, but you told the truth, asshole.
You lied that I beat him up and you just stopped it.
That's the truth, you went crazy first, moron.
I'm so fucked because of you.
What did your dad say?
He went ballistic, he was gonna drag me to the police.
To the police? You?
Yeah, mom was bawling.
It was embarrassing.
Shit, uncle went all out.
When I get accepted, I'm going to my church, wanna come?
I'm going back to my chapel.
Yeah, good thinking.
Volunteer there, like your dad.
Anyway, you did well.
Not at all, you did all the work.
Please visit the victim at the hospital as soon as possible.
Do I have to go there?
It'll be easier to settle if you show how apologetic you are.
And advantageous during trial too.
Goddammit...
I retained you to do this for me.
We paid you enough.
I told dad about it.
Give them enough settlement.
It pains me because of that kid.
Good luck.
Hye-yoon.
It's been hard lately, right?
What is?
Is everything all right?
What's with your concern?
What the fuck.
What's going on?
Are you okay with this?
She doesn't look affected.
How could she not?
She's scared, that's why she came to me.
If we cover it up as if nothing happened,
will this all disappear?
Is that really best for her?
Honey, she's...
starting to scare me.
Hi sweetie.
Dad! I got accepted.
I got accepted, I'm so happy!
You got in?
Yup, I just checked the letter. This is amazing.
Congratulations, you did good.
That thing you promised to buy me, I picked it out.
When you come home...
- Hye-yoon. - Yeah?
He's dead.
Who?
The homeless man.
Then isn't this over?
I'm getting a call from friends, I'll call you later.
Yes, go on.
I understand.
It's so dirty.
- Let's get you changed. - No, no, no!
Oh gosh.
- Not going, not going! - Mother, this smells terrible.
It's stinky everywhere!
I ain't going!
You're so strong.
Yeah, what is it?
Pull it out.
Okay.
Mother's all changed.
Jesus Christ.
You look so refreshed, and pretty.
So stinky.
- You'll feel better. - Indeed.
Stinky, stinky.
Code Blue, 4th floor, pediatrics, Code Blue.
- Cardiac arrest! - How long since CPR?
2 minutes, doctor.
Move aside.
- Keep squeezing the Ambu bag. - Yes, doctor.
Connect the EKG.
It's good, we got ROSC!
Prep for surgery.
Give me the tape!
Tape!
That patient from the case you took on.
The surgery went well,
and she's alive.
That's great, you did your work.
I gotta go.
Nice!
Pretty good.
Si-ho.
I'm honestly afraid that you don't know what you did.
Am I an idiot? How could I not know?
So why did you hide it?
She wanted to.
She said no one would know it was us.
Don't tell me what she said. Tell me what you think.
I was scared, for real.
I didn't know he'd die.
I didn't even hit him that hard.
I've been beaten up even worse.
And I didn't die...
I was hit far harder by my bullies.
Dad.
What do I do now?
Do I really turn myself in?
Am I going to juvie?
You'll be so embarrassed of me if I end up there.
A guy like me is better off dead.
You punk...
Si-ho.
Why'd I be embarrassed of you?
I'm always on your side.
I've never doubted that you'll end up well.
From here on...
you have to be good.
Si-ho.
Do you understand?
Yeah, dad.
I'm going to be good.
I'll study hard and become a good doctor like you.
And do good deeds.
Sure, sure.
Come on.
Dad.
Hi uncle.
Hey Si-ho.
Si-ho.
Thank you for looking out for us.
Ask the maid to make you dinner.
I will.
Oh yeah, look at this.
Tada! You promised me a car if I got accepted.
How's this?
Welcome home.
Not getting ready?
I'm thinking of not going.
How come?
Just because.
Please come.
It's a family matter.
Okay.
I'll get ready.
Sound has been detected.
- There, there. - Sa-rang!
- Is that right? - She's smiling, look!
I learned that life expectancy of Koreans is 84 years.
But hobos live 46 years.
Have a great meal.
Congrats on Hye-yoon's acceptance.
Congrats.
Mom's moving out first of next month?
Moving in, I mean.
I've been told that it's best to move when she's still mobile.
So, she can participate in classes and activities.
I talked to a prosecutor I know.
What for?
I wanted to hear his opinion.
What opinion?
The incident with our kids.
Isn't that all over?
The only thing over is that man's life.
What do you mean?
Is there a problem?
What did he say?
They would be indicted for foul play.
Indicted?
I thought this was over.
When you first insisted that you report them,
I wondered how a parent could act like that.
But now that I think about it, this shouldn't be covered up.
You told me not to be a hypocrite, so why the change of heart?
Is your conscience acting up?
I was conflicted after my chat with the prosecutor.
But I changed my mind.
I mean, I finally realized what I had to do.
What are you saying? Just spill it!
I'm going to get Hye-yoon to turn herself in.
And I'll stay on the sidelines.
For God's sake...
Did you suddenly become an agent of justice?
Jae-wan, you don't mean it, right?
Si-ho is deeply remorseful.
This is a settled matter. How could you decide on your own?
A person was killed
but we let it slide?
Is this really best for our children?
I'm sick of you brothers!
Driving me insane in turns!
It's been tough for us too.
You there, stay out of this.
If Hye-yoon's mom was alive,
she'd have sent her to the police right away.
My wife feels the same way.
No one in the world would know of this homeless man's existence.
He could have frozen to death this winter.
You want to ruin Si-ho's life over a person like that?
That's what the kids said.
Kids their age are all like that!
They were naïve and scared!
They weren't really trying to kill a person.
She's smiling, look!
I learned that life expectancy of Koreans is 84 years.
But hobos live 46 years, that's their fate.
Then...
He didn't die because of us, but of natural causes.
Shit, it's all over then.
What about your dad?
I bawled and said I wanted to be like him.
He fucking said I can start being good.
Fuck that.
Wanna watch it again?
Play it.
Sa-rang, wanna watch it too?
It's so fucking exhilarating every time I watch it.
- Sa-rang, this is your sister. - Don't overreact.
If it was just you, he wouldn't have died.
I knee kicked him so hard!
How did he not die after that beating?
Did you fucking see that? Right in the head.
So happy he's dead. I covered your ass.
Fuck that, shut the hell up.
I should've hit him harder.
That kick sucked!
There I go!
Damn!
So fucking funny.
They said those things for fun.
You took that literally? They're just kids!
No, our kids are exploiting the fact that they're minors.
So, you'll take care of this legally?
They should be held accountable, you said just that.
You think you can live with Hye-yoon after reporting her?
So, cover it up forever for the sake of family harmony?
Would I be able to look Hye-yoon in the eye?
Jae-wan, you're being too cruel to us.
He forgave his bullies, but he has to pay for his crimes?
He can live his life in remorse!
There is such a thing as jail in our hearts!
Jae-wan, you need to settle, right?
A settlement with a patient in my hospital.
I'll convince her mom, listen to me on this, okay?
Are you brokering a deal?
I've never asked you for anything.
I'll convince her mom!
I'll get that settlement for you.
Moron, that's nothing at all.
So you ditched your conscience for nothing?
You claim innocence for criminals but you'll report your own kid?
Jae-wan.
Si-ho is...
weak.
He was born feeble, body and mind.
I didn't realize that before all this.
But what can I do?
He's still my son.
He deserves a second chance!
What if this second chance makes him continue to live like this?
You've got no fucking right to be so conclusive about my son!
This isn't fucking you!
This could be the golden time to fix our kids.
They have to pay some price for their crimes, at least,
to have a chance to live with some humanity.
Enough of your bullshit!
You won't report them, right?
You're just trying to mess with me!
Jae-gyu.
We lived under one roof for over 20 years.
You really think I'd lie to you?
If you report this, you're dead.
He's my son! You've got nothing to do with him, asshole!
I'm going to the police in the morning with Hye-yoon.
Jae-gyu.
Come with me.
Don't you dare touch my son.
If you do, I'll kill you.
I'm really sorry.
Could you clean this up and bring out new dishes?
Yes, sir.
Honey.
Let's leave.
Should we?
My cell phone.
I'll get it.
No, I'll go.
Stay in the car.
My apologies. We're bringing out your car.
Do you have a cigarette?
Yes, one moment.
One second.
It's all right.

That's great, just like that.
Could the two ladies come forward slightly?
Check each other's expressions.
What?
All good?
Second son, lighten up please.
Okay.
First son, drop your chin a bit, something bad happen at home?
Happy faces, that's great.
One, two!
