Where were you? And who were you with?

I went to see the ocean with some friends.

You should've called us at least.

I'm sorry.

And why didn't you answer the phone? Huh?

You're really asking for it You know that?

Go wash up and change!

All right.

Leave out any dirty laundry before you go in.

Okay...

Hello?

Yes, that's correct.

Uh huh...

The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Yes, all right.

Yes, I know where that is.

Yes.

I don't know what I'm going to do with him.

Was it just the two of them?

What did you write down?

The girl's parents want to see us all of us.

All three of us?

Tae-hoon Kim!

Come here!

Did you really go with your friends?

Or did you go with a girl?

Tell me!

Who is it?

Hello, we're Tae-hoon's parents.

Oh, hello!

Sorry to bother you so late.

Oh no, not at all Please come in.

Thank you.

You must be Tae-hoon. You're quite a handsome young man.

Please come in.

How are you?

I'm Tae-hoon's father.

I'm Mi-jeong's father.

Nice to meet you, Tae-hoon.

Please, have a seat.

Thank you.

Must've been quite a shock, right?

Yes.

Did you have dinner yet?

Yes, thank you.

Care for some whisky?

Sure.

Bring me some glasses.

Okay.

Will you write down here what you've been doing with Mi-jeong?

I just want to know.

You'll find a room around the corner next to the bathroom.

Sit down there and try to remember...

About what you two have been doing, where and when.

Try to be as specific as you can. Will that be okay, sir?

Yes, of course.

- Go ahead. - Come on.

It's been a horrible week for us.

Mi-jeong? Are you in there?

Mi-jeong?

Mi-jeong used to get good grades when she was in junior high.

The only tutoring she had was for english and math...

But still she got good grades you know?

Her youngest uncle used to teach her English.

You see, he served for the American Army so he spoke fluent English.

His name was Byong-soo and...

What university did he go to again?

Does it matter which school he went to?

You're right, but still...

In Korea what college you go to...

is such a decisive factor in life Don't you agree?

Oh, absolutely. You have to study hard when you can

Yes, of course. Of course.

Goddamnit!

Guys, when they're young,

should be rebellious should be rowdy.

And they should get into trouble every now and then.

And that's how they become successful later on in their lives, right?

Absolutely.

I don't mean to brag but...

I used to be the student president at the dental college.

And she was an English major back then.

You see, I was head over heels for her. So to all my friends, I said.

'Don't you lay a hand on her. She's mine.'

'You touch her, you're dead.'

So no one laid a finger on her.

She was all mine.

Stop being silly. I think you're drunk.

Oh, hi! You must be Mi-jeong.

Come have a seat.

So are you done writing?

Yes.

All right.

Let me see it.

Where did you sleep on the 12th?

At an internet café.

Tae-hoon. Where did you sleep on Saturday, the 12th?

We slept here and there so... it gets a little confusing.

Well then let me read what you wrote here.

In the evening the owner told us to leave.

So once again we spent the night at a church in Sokcho.

That's what you wrote.

However, Mi-jeong you wrote... that you slept at a spa.

While, Tae-hoon, you wrote that you slept at a church again.

None of your statements match.

Now the 13th... That's a Sunday.

Where did you sleep then? Tae-hoon?

Mi-jeong? Where did you sleep?

At the police station.

Which one?

The one near the beach.

Where?

Sokcho Beach.

Are you sure about that? Tae-hoon, is that right?

The Sokcho beach police station?

Yes, sir.

All right, then.

Hello? Can I have the number for...

the Sokcho beach police station?

Is this the Sokcho beach police station?

Let me ask you something.

On Sunday night, January 13th...

Did you have a teenaged boy and a girl from Seoul...

come in ask for a place to spend the night?

Yes, last Sunday.

If you sincerely beg for forgiveness. You tell the truth and ask for forgiveness,

then all will be forgiven.

Right, sir?

Yes, of course.

But if either one of you is lying...

No one's getting out here alive.

Honey, please.

Shut up!

Mr. PARK.

We should first at least listen to what they have to say.

Yes You're right.

All right.

I'll talk this over with Tae-hoon, man to man.

So the two of you can go home now.

Dad!

Shut up!

If you're lying to me...

we're both going to die tonight got that?
