Beautiful World (A Beautiful World / Areumdawoon Sesang / 아름다운 세상)

I don't really care about them.

I asked if you knew they were bullying Seon Ho.

I bet they did it outside of school.

No one does it in school these days. It's too obvious.

They would beat him outside of school.

They know it'll be their loss if they get caught.

So you've never witnessed something like that in school?

I've seen kids smashing other kids' backs...

or doing a headlock.

But boys will be boys, right?

Seon Ho was such a nice guy.

He was always so helpful,

but some kids thought he was pretentious.

That he didn't know his place.

It seems like being nice just makes you a loser.

Honestly, I really hate this kind of situation.

They're the ones who caused trouble, but we have to suffer through it.

It's a waste of time.

Mom told me to study and don't worry about this.

Aren't you not allowed to talk to us?

I heard the homeroom teacher can't interfere.

I don't get what the problem is.

The kids just had some fun.

They made a huge fuss of it. It's stupid.

Who will speak for Seon Ho?

He can't speak even if he's wronged.

What will this solve?

I'm sick of hearing the same thing.

To be frank, adults don't care about anything but grades.

If the exam papers were leaked, there would be a huge uprising.

I don't know anything. Can I go?

Until the EMTs arrived on the scene,

Seon Ho was the only one to enter school grounds.

There's a gate in the back.

Did you check the cameras there?

Cameras on this road don't cover that gate.

The other kids could've entered that way and waited for Seon Ho.

The day of the accident, outside the academy.

Seon Ho left 20 minutes before his class ended.

From outside the building, he called a student...

called Jung Da Hee.

She didn't pick up.

The other kids...

left the building 20 minutes later after class ended.

Joon Seok and Sung Jae's moms picked them up right away.

Young Chul and Gi Chan's alibis were confirmed.

Where did those two go?

Young Chul to a convenience store, Gi Chan to an internet cafe.

Their statements corroborate this,

and we checked CCTV footage.

Did you identify who sent the video?

That's a bit...

It was sent from a burner phone.

A burner phone?

Yes. It's not something kids can get their hands on easily.

I find that strange.

I'll need some time to follow up on that.

That means the video...

wasn't sent by one of the kids.

We can't be sure of that.

What's most important now is the video's authenticity.

What do you mean by that?

If the video was edited,

it might not be admitted as evidence.

Even if we get it admitted as evidence,

the kids could be let off.

Whether it was edited or not,

it clearly shows Seon Ho being assaulted.

I'm talking about the chances in court.

Forensics applied for analysis.

I'll call you when we have the results.

Detective.

I still can't accept that Seon Ho tried to kill himself.

Even if he got the idea because he was assaulted,

he would've left us a note.

Honey.

You agree with that.

We still don't know who took his phone and diary.

Who would get a burner phone to send us the video,

and why they can't come forward?

There's too much we don't know.

We went through the CCTV footage as you asked,

and I checked the kids' alibis for you.

There could've been someone else.

We haven't checked the other gate yet!

Did you talk to Da Hee in person?

She won't see us.

I think she's hiding something.

Why are you out here?

It's cold. Let's go inside.

Did you see my homeroom teacher?

Yes.

Are you hungry?

You didn't tell, did you?

Don't worry.

I told you.

No one can find out.

How is Seon Ho?

Why are you worried about him?

I guess he had a conscience.

Why are you crying?

Don't cry. You don't need to.

Forget about everything.

Pretend that nothing happened.

It'll be okay in time.

Things will go back to normal.

Let's go inside.

You'll catch a cold.

I keep thinking that Seon Ho wasn't alone.

We checked the footage and their alibis.

It could've been someone else.

Do you believe this?

Do you really think Seon Ho tried to die?

Let's stop talking about that.

Why should we stop?

All we know is that Seon Ho was assaulted.

We haven't gotten anywhere.

How can we stop?

Would you prefer it if Seon Ho was pushed?

Is that what you want?

What?

I know you don't want to admit...

what useless parents we were.

After all he went through, Seon Ho never asked us for help.

He suffered enough to want to die,

and yet he didn't even leave us a note.

Our son of all people.

The guilt is so overwhelming that I can't breathe.

I feel so bad for Seon Ho.

I feel like it's all my fault.

Every moment is torture.

I know you feel the same.

But... - Do you think...

that out of guilt,

to avoid that,

I'm trying to turn others into murderers?

You know that's not my point. - Then what is your point?

That the guilt is killing me?

You're right.

How little did he trust me that...

he didn't talk to me until things got this bad?

Why didn't I notice things sooner?

I regret it so much, and I hate myself.

But honey,

I'm not doing this because I feel guilty.

I just can't accept it.

The doubt won't go away.

Honey.

I don't care if people say I'm turning kids into killers.

I won't give up until I reach the truth.

Honey.

I'll go first.

On my own.

Hello.

Hello.

What brings you here?

Do students use this gate a lot?

School rules say they're not supposed to,

but some kids come and go every now and then.

Did you check this area the night of the accident?

Yes, of course.

Did you notice if anyone came or left this way?

It's hard to tell if anyone did,

but there was no one when I was here.

I see.

Why wasn't the CCTV in the school working?

I already told the police about that.

Yes, I heard it was because the CCTV was too old.

But I just wanted to check.

I see.

It's been a while since the CCTVs kept malfunctioning.

But we kept ignoring it.

But we finally replaced all the CCTVs...

after what happened to your son.

I see.

Thank you.

What's going on? - What's wrong with him?

What is wrong with you?

Let me go!

Let me go!

If you want to complain, can you at least do it when you're sober?

All you ever do is slab a bunch of stuff on your face.

How could you just let your son's future get ruined?

My gosh, do whatever you want.

I won't stop you.

Gosh.

You can't come in here like this.

Who are you? Move.

If you have something to say, you should make an appointment.

Who are you to tell me what to do? Get out of my way.

Mr. Lee Sang Woo! - You're too drunk.

Do you want to get fired?

Please leave before I report you to the cops.

Everyone, back to your classes. - Are you serious?

How dare you lecture me? - Mr. Lee Sang Woo.

Do you even know who I am?

You're able to earn a living because of me.

You can talk to me, sir.

Why didn't you do anything when you're the homeroom teacher?

The police are all over the place...
