-Well, that's fine. -Come on.

-Darn it. -But still…

JOBS WANTED

How old are you?

-Excuse me? -Let's have a drink.

Gosh! Why are you doing this?

-You can't be doing this. -What did we do?

I'll buy everything. Just tell me how much.

-What are you all looking at me for? -Please let go!

Mind your own business, all right?

What are you all looking at?

Is this entertaining?

I was released from juvie two days ago, so I couldn't afford to get into trouble.

Let me borrow this umbrella.

Please stop and return to your seats.

What's up with this girl?

Have you lost your mind? Do you have a death wish?

-My goodness. -Gosh, I hope she'll be okay.

-This is going to hurt. -Go ahead.

-Go on, hit me. -"This is going to hurt"?

Make sure you get hit properly, or else it'll tickle.

You little punk. She said it'll hurt. You better watch out.

My gosh.

-Who the hell are you? -Using the bathroom.

Then get the fuck out of my way.

-It's all right, sir. -Go ahead, hit me.

-I told you to move, you punk. -Go on and hit me.

-What the hell is he doing? -I have no idea.

Hey schoolgirl, get them!

You shit!

You bastard--

-Come here! -Come here!

Hey, get out of here.

Hurry up. Get lost. Move it.

They threw the first punch. We're the victims here!

That's not something to brag about.

You should be ashamed of those tattoos on your arm.

Hey, schoolgirl. You think this is mutual combat?

Wait. Is this your first offense? Do you not know what that is?

How is this mutual? They are the ones who started it.

Gosh, but you…

hit them too hard.

Park Joon-gyeong!

What are you doing in there?

Hello. What brings you here?

I'm Park Joon-gyeong's guardian.

You must be Yoon Hye-rin, the CEO of Bluenet.

I was told you'd be coming. Please come this way.

DEFENDANT PARK JOON-GYEONG GUARDIAN YOON HYE-RIN

The statements of the victims and passengers corroborate,

and the victims have quite a record, so there won't be any big issues.

Is this the kid who fought alongside Joon-gyeong?

Yes. He was in a juvenile center before and doesn't have a guardian.

So we'll have to question him some more.

Well, then, the investigation of this case isn't quite over yet, is it?

Well, Joon-gyeong is free to go.

Joon-gyeong,

you go back in there and tell him to come out for questioning.

Excuse me?

He fought alongside her, so I'll join the questioning as his guardian.

Hey, your name is-- Oh, right.

Eun Yong.

Come out here. It's your turn now.

-Excuse me, ma'am. Actually-- -What are you doing?

Go back in and tell him to come out.

Ma'am, we'll take care of that punk oursel--

Hey, where are you going?

Hey.

-Open the cell for me. -Why would you come back inside?

Ma'am, you're making this difficult. It's late as well.

I'm used to working late hours.

I'll stay here until the end as his guardian.

-That's not the problem here. -I'm telling you I'll be his guardian.

Why is that a problem?

Can you please not make this difficult for us?

Park Joon-gyeong's questioning is over, so go home with your daughter.

That's not true.

It's not over until our teammate, that boy, is finished with questioning.

I looked over the report,

and it appeared as if minors need their guardians to sign off on things.

I'll be that guardian.

All right. Have some of this.

Eating tofu prevents you from going back to jail.

The pajamas fit well. It's what her dad used to wear.

Ma'am,

I'm an ex-con who was released from juvie two days ago.

Are you okay with bringing me into your home?

You don't even know who I am.

You are on our team.

I signed off as your guardian.

I heated up the study, so you can sleep there.

I'll clean the room up for you.

You don't have to. I'll do it.

Will you do that for me?

I guess the smart kids all have one of these.

What are you doing?

Don't touch anything and go to bed.

You're going to study here?

I'm here to keep my eyes on you.

If you try to do anything funny,

I'll kill you.

What about your father?

I don't have any parents.

Your mom must feel relieved to have such a good fighter as a daughter.

I'll sleep fine.

I'm used to sleeping with people around anyway.

That was the first time

I'd ever had a good night's sleep.

Pajamas you can only see on TV.

When I woke up,

I had an unfamiliar feeling that I was in paradise.

CERTIFICATE

FIRST PLACE

You're awake.

Are you hungry? Let's eat breakfast.

I didn't make much.

Joon-gyeong went to school, and I have to go to work soon.

Thank you for the food.

Your daughter seemed like she's at the top of the class and a perfect student.

-Why didn't you scold her? -She stood up for a cause. Why would I?

Why did you end up in a juvenile detention center?

I robbed a bank. I took about one billion won.

I never imagined I'd be cooking breakfast for a bank robber.

Oh, the soup. I totally forgot.

Smells salty.

Let's just eat it.

If the reason you commit crime is because it's your livelihood, then stop.

I run a company.

If you want to work, I can find you a job at the factory.

-Does it pay well? -Depends on how much you work.

Can I keep this business card?

What's the purpose of a business card if I'm going to ask for it back?

Salty, right?

That's how soup should be.

I hope I see you often.

Sure.

She was the first grown-up who treated me like a human being.

BLUENET CEO ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY

PARK JOON-GYEONG

CALL ME WHEN YOU READ THIS

My mom is in trouble.

Please give me a call when you see this email.

-Hello? - It's a night flight. How's the weather?

It's fine.

I think Major Park Joon-gyeong is the anonymous informant, like you said.

The Special Investigations department is in charge of the case.

That's why she can't be reached.

- The Special Investigations department? -I'll brief you more when you arrive.

You should get some sleep. I'm sure you must be exhausted.

No. It's too late to get any sleep anyway.

I saw that Special Investigations was in charge of CEO Yoon's case.

Is her case connected to Chairman Myung's?

CEO Yoon was arrested without a warrant because…

This is a copy of Minister Son's secretary's work diary.

You see what's written on there? "Bluenet Yoon, 5,000"?

I do see it. But what is this?

I think you know better than I do.

I mean, gosh.

I've never given him this money.

As of now, you are not a witness but a suspect.

She was accused of bribing Minister Son Seung-jun,

her college friend, by giving him over $50,000.

The person who conducted the investigation was Hwang Gi-seok,

Myung's son-in-law.

Chairman Myung's son-in-law?

He's infamous for cooking up stories, whatever the ingredient may be.

Within the prosecution, people call him Chef Hwang.

He's an elite, and many expect him to become the future attorney general.

Then what he really wanted was probably Minister Son.

You're right. Chef Hwang eventually got him.

Minister Son, who had the most support as a candidate for governor,

had to withdraw his candidacy due to bribery charges.

But CEO Yoon was acquitted in the first trial.

The investigation fizzled out after Son stepped down.

Then why?

Are you sure it was a suicide?

I just sent you a video. Watch it.

I can't think of any other explanation besides suicide.

The case was closed as a suicide due to depression from the investigation.

That can't be right.

She'd never do this.

I knew you'd be the strongest fighter.

Let's work under Seong-tae for a bit and form our own gang.

You be the boss, and I'll be your right-hand man.

Right-hand man, my foot.

We'll buy a fancy jacket from Italy and go to a bar and drink.

We will even drink coffee at a hotel. Why? You don't want that?

Let me have a think, you punk.

You be quiet.

Come on. I'll make it happen.

You got a girlfriend recently or what?

How can you leave me out?

What are these flowers for?

They were on sale, so…

They're roses.

I've never bought flowers before, so I got a bunch.

Buy me a bunch often, okay?

Yes. I'll make sure to do that.
