(Congratulations on graduating, class of 2011!)

(Sejeong High School Graduation Ceremony)

See you later.

Mom!

You got it all over you.

You look like rice cake covered in flour.

I'm starving.

What's that?

Look at you.

Are you worried that he's alone?

What are you talking about?

You're letting your imagination run wild again.

Why? Does someone not have any family here?

- It's nothing. - Yes, there is.

He's the most handsome boy ever with the saddest personal story,

who's also very chic.

Mom!

I knew that you'd be here all alone.

What brings you here?

I'm not here to congratulate you on graduation.

I'm here to congratulate you for getting accepted.

I had no idea that flowers are so expensive,

which is why I didn't bring any.

But what I'll buy you is some pork belly and soju.

Let's go, my junior.

Jin Gyeom,

just try one shot. You graduated high school!

I don't know why I should drink it when it's not good for my health.

Fine, don't.

I hope you live a long and healthy life.

We don't drink because it's tasty. I guess you don't get it yet.

Thank you.

This is bad.

My wife is calling.

I'm not scared...

of any gangsters,

but I'm terrified of my wife.

Do you have any children?

I had a son.

So you're going to stay in a dorm?

What are you going to do about your house?

It's a pity to leave the whole house empty.

You should either sell it or put it up for rent.

Why did your son die?

He had a heart abnormality...

when he was born.

I'm going to leave the house as it is.

Jin Gyeom,

I'm going to say this because I know you so well,

but you can't ask such questions so nonchalantly.

And once you've heard the answer,

you say, "I see. I'm sorry." Okay?

It's not like I forced you to tell me.

Why must I apologize?

Because you made me remember something I didn't want to.

But you should remember even if you don't want to.

He's family.

Sure.

Let's go.

Get home safely.

Thank you for coming today.

Thank you for the food.

Sure.

Excuse me.

- Did you enjoy the food? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Have a nice day.

Detective Ko.

How have you been?

Do I know you?

Oh.

Are you insane?

Of course, I am. How could I not be?

I went to the slammer because of you.

Are you okay?

Mr. Ko.

(Police Academy Graduation and Appointment)

"Police Academy Award for Top Excellence. Park Jin Gyeom."

"The above has graduated the Police Academy with a Bachelor of Law..."

"with the highest grades and is thus presented with this award."

"Police Academy Director, Jung Eun Il."

(Police Academy Graduation and Appointment)

Hey. Smile a little.

That's right, kid. Smile.

You'll make the photos look depressing.

It's your fault they look depressing, not Jin Gyeom.

He's so handsome even if he doesn't smile.

Whatever. Anyway.

I'm going to just take it whether or not it comes out nice.

Okay, 1, 2, 3.

Hey, Jin Gyeom.

I must really be a weirdo.

Even the man...

who took care of me like his own son is in serious condition,

but I still don't know...

what emotion I'm feeling.

I don't know if I'm feeling sad or agonized.

Perhaps, I don't even feel anything.

That happens when you're shocked.

Everyone is like that. You're not weird. Don't worry.

You haven't eaten, have you? There's a food court downstairs.

I'm fine. I'm not feeling hungry.

You should eat something.

Would you like me to get you food from the convenience store?

Wait here. I'll be back soon.

Why didn't you pick up?

Do you know how many times I've called?

I even went to the police station to find you.

I have a lot to say to you. Do you have time?

Why do you cry every time you look at me?

You must be very sensitive.

Do you cry while watching movies?

How did someone like that become a cop?

I had never seen a man cry before,

but I saw you cry twice.

I apologize for showing you only strange sides of me.

But why are you expressionless normally?

Were you always like that?

- Yes. - What was your nickname...

in school?

I didn't have any.

Some kids called me a psychopath.

Did your friends call you that because it had a dual meaning?

No.

Was it because you were expressionless?

Never mind. I'm not interested.

Did this really belong to your late mother?

Yes.

In what year was she born?

She was born in 1968.

What was her job?

She was a simple housewife.

You weren't close to your mother, were you?

You hardly spoke with her, right?

Your mother was definitely not a simple housewife.

What do you mean?

To be honest,

I don't know exactly what this card is.

However, this is for certain.

It cannot be made...

with the current technology.

I've never seen a chip made like this...

anywhere before.

But she's a housewife?

Someone who had something 10 years ago...

that can't be produced using 2020 technology?

How did your mother pass away?

Don't tell me if it's too hard to talk about it.

She was murdered.

Oh dear. I'm sorry.

You shouldn't have told me then.

It's fine.

By any chance,

may I see some of your mother's other items?

There may be more clues...

about your mother.

Did you live here since you were 20?

Yes.

You're totally a family.

This way, please.

Cool.

That's enough.

- What? - I must have lost my mind briefly.

I knew it wasn't true,

but I must have wanted it to be.

What do you mean?

My mother may not have been a simple housewife.

However,

she wasn't this rude either.

I'll ask someone else to analyze the card.

Why are you suddenly acting this way?

You don't know...

because your mother is still alive.

- Get out. - Detective.

Is this another bad day?

Did you have another fight?

Why do you both say, "another"?

What do you take your daughter for?

Yes, I did have another fight,

but that guy is a weirdo.

He kicked me out after making me do a ton of work!

Do you want to start going to church with me?

It might give you peace of mind.

Or maybe start dating or something.

Are you seeing anyone?

I'm here for jjamppong,

not your nagging.

I've only had two bites,

and I'm already full.

Can't you stay for the night?

I want to visit my orphanage mom. It's been a while.

Sister? Why?

Just because.

I miss her.

- See you, Dad. - See you.

Go inside.
