That f***er has lost it.

He's been complaining lately.

- That bastard.

- Just calm down.

What's the matter?

Tell me.

Please send me home.

I don't need money.

Please let me go.

I have to go now.

Please send me home.

Please send me home.

My mom is very sick.

Send you home?

Is someone stopping you?

Are you an illegal immigrant?

Mr. Park.

You're aware that hiring

illegals and skimping on wages

is in violation of the law?

What did I do to deserve this, huh?

Only thing I did was work my ass off

to make this town prosperous.

Why didn't you allow your worker

to leave and see his sick mother?

This is nuts.

It's not so simple, you know?

If I send him home, the rest will

line up with their own requests.

- So I suggest...

- Mr. Park.

You know what a broker is?

A broker is as liable as the owner,

and both will be punished.

A low-grade broker like you

will get even harsher punishment.

Oh f***!

Who the hell are you accusing?

I don't know how many times

I've warned you.

Listen carefully.

Pay off the wages you owe

and send him home immediately.

Otherwise, the police and immigration

will pursue this together.

If you've understood, then leave.

You're really out to get me.

Now, I'm getting eager to

talk as well.

I saw you doing something at night

with that woman from Seoul.

I wish the f***

someone would ask me what I saw.

What the hell are you talking about?

When she lets you go, then leave.

Wait, I wasn't the only one.

Bakeem saw it too.

Get out of here.

So don't take me so lightly!

- I told you to leave!

- Go.

Where have you been this late?

Do you know what time it is?

School starts tomorrow.

I went home to get my uniform.

School starts tomorrow?

Okay, then.

Get ready for school.

I think I've gained weight.

Let me see.

You've grown taller too, Sun Dohee.

You smell like alcohol.

- Dohee.

- Yeah?

Vacation is over.

Go back home.

I brought my clothes here.

I met my dad.

He tried to hit me again,

so I ran back here.

Dohee.

I'm not your mother.

I'll find your mother.

No!

I'm sorry.

From now on, I'll be obedient, and

I won't throw my clothes everywhere.

I won't eat with my bare hands.

Can you forgive me?

I don't need a mom.

I don't need anyone.

I just need you.

It's done.

Let's buy your summer uniform

for next year too.

Wow, it's hot.

Trimming some veggies?

We're here.

It's hot.

It's so hot.

Let's just do our nails.

Whatever happened to

our quiet town?

That Bakeem or whatever...

Crazy bastard's got a bad temper.

He looks like some kind of

beast, too.

Words won't persuade him.

I don't think holding him up

will be enough,

since the rest of the workers

are all riled up too.

It's so hard to find help.

There. You happy?

Let's go.

- They have the same haircut

- Oh my God!

Go in. Hurry.

I'll behave. I'll do anything.

So please...

Where's that man from India?

Bakeem?

He's not here.

He went back home?

So you were kicked out at last!

Why would such an accomplished woman

keep you around for months on end?

Even your own mom abandoned you.

What's this?

What's this?

Let me see.

Let me see.

I guess she's telling you to

take this and f*** off.

No!

Now that I see you,

you've grown a bit.

You're looking a bit

like a girl now.

Did the two of you do anything?

That woman from Seoul

was supposedly her lover.

She was kicked out because

of trouble with girl on girl love.

Girls doing things with girls.

Do you even know what that is?

They're those kinds of b*tches.

Tell me the truth.

You two did something, huh?

She took you to do

those things to you, right?

No!

Hey.

What's wrong with you?

Are you gonna go to that woman?

Is that why you bought me clothes?

So you can go back to that woman?

Come inside.

Hello!

I thought something weird

was going on here,

but this is some sh*t.

What are you talking about?

Did I startle you?

You thought no one knew?

You take all the sweetness

of a little girl.

Now that she's all grown up,

you lost interest?

What did you say to him?

What did you tell him?

You two do whatever you want.

I'm back.

Damn, it's hot.

Captain Eom! Come quickly.

Hurry, let's go.

What's the matter?

F***.

That f***er Bakeem

is trashing the office.

Let's go.

Contact the station.

We can probably handle it ourselves.

Hurry.

I'm on it.

You f***ing bastard.

How dare you trash this place?

You crazy a**hole.

Motherf***er.

What are you looking at, f***ers?

You want to die, a**holes?

F***er.

Motherf***er.

Look at me.

Hey!

That's enough.

Chief is here.

This f***er doesn't know his place.

Stop it!

What? What are they doing?

- Arrest them both.

- Yes, ma'am.

What're you doing?

- Just Come quietly.

- What're you doing?

- Let's go.

He started this commotion.

Why are you arresting me?

Let's go.

Call my boss.

Call Mr. Choi.

We went to escort him too.

F***.

You think I'll go quietly?

Calm down and let's go.

Why the f*** are you taking me?

He's the one who started it.

What're we going to do now?

This summer's hard enough as it is.

You stop the workers from working,

and now you arrest Yong-ha.

Station chief or whatever,

she pulls rank

and sticks her nose in everything.

- You said it.

- Stop it now.

Get on out of here.

Go.

Are you hungry?

Let's go.

Now that school's in session,

do kids still bother you?

They're afraid of you,

so they leave me alone.

Do you hang out with them?

They're no fun anyway.

You have to come with us.

Yong-ha reported you to the police.

For sexual molestation of a minor.

I don't know what's going on.

All right,

I'll follow you in a moment.

You have to come now.

This is a warrantless arrest.

Why'd you keep her at your house

instead of sending her home?

That day too,

she got beat up by her father

and came to me battered and bruised.

It was best to keep her away

from that man.

I understand the initial situation.

But afterwards too,

you kept her around,

even though she has her own

family and home.

Understand?

What did you do during that time?

What do you mean by that?

You know this person?

You stayed at her place

for a month, right?

Was she nice to you?

Did she adore you?

Yes.

What I'm asking is,

why'd you take in

a girl who has a family?

It seems pretty abnormal.

That girl has been exposed to violence

since she was very young.

She was conditioned to violence

and was in a perilous state.

That's why I believed she needed

special protection.

According to her father,

the girl's behavior

toward you was not normal.

It's true that she likes me.

But the reason is...

because I wear a police uniform,

and I confront bad men,

and look powerful.

That's all.

Was there any physical contact

while she stayed with you?

Was there physical contact?

What contact?

What are you talking about?

Did you take the girl's clothes off

and touch her?

Did the chief say you're pretty

and touch you?

My body?

Yes.

Yes.

What about the first night
