CLEANING DUTY AHN SU-HO, YEON SI-EUN, OH BEOM-SEOK
[Su-ho] Ah! Our science teacher's out of their mind.
Did they put sleeping pills in their voice?
I was so dazed, I almost passed out.
[Beom-seok chuckles]
It was so boring, I thought even Si-eun
could make the lesson more interesting if he was teaching.
Nuh-uh. Si-eun's not a talker.
- [chuckles] - [Su-ho laughs] I don't think so.
Is there any subject you don't sleep through?
I mean, is there one you actually like?
[Su-ho] What do you know?
You're always looking straight ahead, pen in hand.
- Forget it. - [Su-ho] Hmm.
I'm hungry. Let's get somethin' to eat.
I have to get to my job.
Yeong-i took the day off. See you tomorrow.
[Beom-seok] Si-eun, I, um…
I have something going on at home today.
We can all eat together tomorrow.
I have to go.

Detectives are on their way. Do you remember what I told you earlier?
[Jeong-chan] Yes, sir.
[Woo-yeong coughs]
Yes.
Tell me what I said.
Uh, well…
We were working out.
He decided to take a break, then suddenly collapsed.
[Aide Park] And?
[sirens approaching]
[Tae-hun] To make sure everyone keeps their mouths shut.
If anything goes wrong, we'll all get sent to juvie.
[Aide Park] You deleted all videos?
[Woo-yeong] Yes.
[Aide Park] I'll check the CCTV footage.
[sirens getting louder]

I'll hire a hit man to kill you as soon as you get to the Philippines.
You're disgusting.
[breathing heavily]
What about Su-ho?
Can you actually believe this little bastard?
Hey, stay by his side 24-7 until he gets on his flight. Okay?
- Yes, sir. - You shit.

[teacher] Don't even think about cheating.
Do your best according to what you've prepared. All right?
[all] Yes, sir.
[boy 1] How would you feel if I said I aced the test after you bombed it?
- [boy 2] I slept through it. - [boy 1] I'm pretty sure I did.
- [boy 2] I'll do an online university. - [boy 3] Hey, get your phones!
- [boy 2] Never a dull moment. - [boy 4] Phones!
[boy 1] Actually, I studied pretty hard.
So I'm pretty sure I did all right. Might have missed a couple.
YEONG-I MISSED CALL
[bleeps]
[ringing tone]
[sighs]
- [Yeong-i, tearfully] Si-eun-a. - Yeong-a.
Did you call?
[gasps] Si-eun, it's Su-ho.
[sobbing]
What'll happen to Su-ho?
[sobbing]
- ["Self" by Meego playing] - ♪ Swear to God… ♪
[Yeong-i] It was all because of that asshole Oh Beom-seok and his gang.

Some people dropped by and offered to pay for his hospital bills.
They got his grandmother to sign something.

You're to say goodbye to your teachers.

Okay, but…
what about Su-ho?
[poignant music playing]
Su-ho's still alive.
[breathing shakily]
If you want to keep him alive at the hospital,
you better do as the assemblyman says.

What was?
Tell me the truth.
I wasn't there yesterday, I promise.
I only saw a video the guys sent.
What video?
I said, "What video?"
[Yeong-bin breathing unsteadily]
This has nothing to do with me.

Use your arms to protect your chin at all times.
Don't forget.
Chin.
[scoffs] What do you want?
You wanna spar with me?
[Su-ho] Next, imagine there's a punk in front of you.
When this happens, you don't want to look into his eyes.
Look at his shoulders instead.
Then, when his shoulder comes toward your face…

- Hello! - Were you all waiting for me?
Assemblyman, it's a pleasure.
We appreciate you making the time to pay us a visit.
Oh, not at all. This was long overdue. [chuckles]
Life gets in the way.
- [teacher] This is our faculty. - [Ji-won] Yes.
[Ji-won] I heard,
about two days ago, a student here was seriously injured.
Well, yes.
He was working out at the gym with his friends the other night,
when he collapsed, suddenly,
while taking a little break.
It was an accident.
Oh, that's awful.

[Si-eun] Yeong-i said everything was her fault.
She apologized and then disappeared.
I hear she gives Su-ho's grandmother a call from time to time,
but I can never reach her.
Beom-seok's father tried to send me to a juvie center.
But I was only forced to transfer schools
because I agreed to keep quiet about what happened to Su-ho.
However, he had already made sure
all the schools in Seoul rejected me.
Only Eunjang High School in Yeongdeungpo was willing to accept me.
