you slept over?

We took a bath.

She took off your clothes

and washed you?

No, we bathed together.

Can you show me where

she touched you?

I...

I had no abnormal intentions making

physical contact with that child.

Did you take off her clothes

and touch her or not?

I did.

I took her clothes off and

saw the bruises from beating.

And I bathed her.

The bruises seemed so painful

that I even hugged her.

Is there something wrong with that?

It becomes a problem

when a homosexual does it.

You're a homosexual, aren't you?

You were transferred here from Seoul

because of a similar problem, right?

Correct?

If it's not true, answer me.

Why can't you talk?

I'm not going to answer that question.

because I'm not obligated to do so.

Sure, but it's your loss.

All I did was to take care of a girl

with a history of abuse.

I thought it was my duty to

protect her.

That's all.

Point out

where the chief touched you.

Did she ever hit

you when you refused?

The chief...

She touched me because she adored me.

I liked her,

so I hugged and kissed her.

Chief!

Let me go!

- Chief, let me go with you!

- Bring her out!

Let me go!

Chief!

- Let me go with her!

- Calm down!

I don't get it.

How could you do that to a little girl?

Has it been a f***ing month

since I said to be careful?

Are you sick or something?

Jun-ho.

Sorry to bother you.

Can you take these off for me?

Uncuff her.

What about Chief?

Didn't you see her at the station?

I saw her.

She's not coming back for a while.

Why not?

If she really did those things to you,

she has to be punished.

She'll be sent to prison.

What about Dad?

Your father settled with Bakeem.

He'll be home sometime today.

You have a cell phone?

Let me see it.

From now on,

if your dad hits you again.

Call this number.

You ever poured liquor before?

You're pretty good at it.

Girl.

You need to take care

of your body from an early age.

Or you're going to f*** up your life

like your mother.

You fell hard for that perverted b*tch.

Throwing yourself at her like that.

Girl.

What?

What?

F***ing retard, acting like a fool.

What?

What did you say, b*tch?

Are you copying your mom?

Hit me.

Hit me.

Only thing you're good at

is beating women, right?

Must be out of your f***ing mind.

You crazy b*tch.

You've been acting weird all day.

Why're you acting like your mom,

you f***ing b*tch?

Dad, I'm sorry.

It hurts so much.

What?

It hurts.

What did you just say, b*tch?

Please.

I'll do anything you want.

Please.

What the f*** did you say, b*tch?

F***ing b*tch!

Shut up.

You'd better shut up, b*tch!

You'd better shut up.

Policeman Kwon

Shut up, b*tch!

Park Yong-ha!

Freeze, bastard!

What the f***?

- Hurry and go.

- Okay.

- Get up, a**hole.

- Get up!

Get out.

What're you doing?

Go.

F***ing b*tch!

- F***ing hell.

- go in.

Come here, f***er.

- let me use The bathroom.

- Okay.

Stay still, bastard.

- Take it easy. F***.

- go in.

You!

F***ing mutt!

F***ing b*tch!

You f***ing b*tch!

F***ing b*tches.

F***ing b*tches!

You filthy b*tches!

You remember coming here last time?

Let me ask a couple more questions.

So you're saying that your father

told you what to say last time?

Yes.

How?

Do you remember what he said?

He told me to say that Chief

wanted to take me to live with her,

and to sleep with me every day.

So,

when you said Chief touched you

and bathed you,

that was what your dad

told you to say?

Yes.

What else did your father say?

He told me to never talk

about him beating me.

To never talk about

things like yesterday.

That he'd kill me and throw me

in the sea.

He said if he dumped me far out,

no one will know.

It's as you said.

After her mother left,

her father continued to beat her.

If she wasn't obedient while he

sexually abused her, he'd beat her.

Is that what the girl said?

She spoke out quite well.

She said she went to your house

to hide from her father.

I owe you an apology.

I don't know what to say.

What happens to the child?

If the mom doesn't show up, we'll

have to send her to protective custody.

Check underneath the desk.

Hey.

Escort the chief back to her place.

We'll take care of your things

and send it to you.

Or we can send it directly

to where you get transferred.

Thank you for all your hard work.

Soon-oh.

Yes, ma'am.

What happened that night?

What's the matter?

Is something wrong?

You caught Mr. Park in the act.

How was that possible?

I gave her my number.

She called me that night.

She must've dialed in a hurry.

She didn't say anything.

But I heard her father breathing

and cursing, and the girl crying.

I could tell what was going on.

So I called it in

and rushed to the scene.

It's crazy that a father has been

doing that to his daughter.

Dohee.

Did you do it?

Did you do that to him on purpose?

What about your grandma?

What about Grandma?

You don't ever have to

worry about him again.

He won't be able

to see you again.

I have to go.

Eat well and don't miss school.

It's dangerous so don't roam

around at night, okay?

I don't know if

it's appropriate to say this.

I feel bad for Dohee,

but I don't get a good feeling

about her.

Maybe because her mother ran away

and she was abused.

She's different from other kids.

I can't figure her out.

She doesn't seem like a child.

Sometimes, she seems

like a little monster.

Sorry, I'm in no position

to speak on this matter.

Can you stop the car?

What's wrong?

I forgot something.

I need to get out here.

Will you go with me?
