Do-ga-ni (Silenced AKA The Crucible) Page #6

---

They're all lies!

- How dare you say such lies!

- Silence.

Did someone incite you to say all these?

- Exactly who incited you to say such lies?

- Silence!

Settlement? The children were sexually abused.

Why should there be a settlement?

Yes, according to the Prosecutor,

children who are 13 years old and above

and suffered from sexual abuse...

If they agree to a settlement,

their testimony will become invalid.

If one really experienced such a thing,

would one agree to settle outside of court?

Yeon Du's parents are gone.

Nothing much can be done.

But Min Su and Yu Ri's parents

are mentally retarded.

They are really a pack of beasts.

Bullying those children with no parents.

Once Yu Ri and Min Su agree to the settlement...

Then what's left will only be

the Headmaster's sexual abuse case on Yeon Du.

Professor.

I'm really sorry to ask

to see you so abruptly.

No, it's okay. I should have visited you.

I roughly heard about the case from Lawyer Hwang.

I was the one who recommended you to that school.

So I am stuck in the middle

and my position is a bit awkward.

I am sorry.

You don't have to apologize to me.

But if this case continues to drag,

you also won't get any benefit from it.

This is the money that you

previously donated to the school.

We added a bit more to it.

I hope to settle the case with Yeon Du.

I would appreciate if Mr. Gang could help out.

If you are willing to help us,

we will be responsible for the expenses

to send Yeon Du to university.

We will also send her abroad for further study.

Of course, you should continue to draw.

It would be a pity if you had to

give up your future in that area.

I have already made arrangements

for you to join a school in Seoul.

You just have to work hard for

another 1 or 2 terms over there.

I have already settled it with the school.

They will convert you to permanent staff.

I'm sorry, Professor.

I have some other things going on.

I'm leaving first.

Mr. Gang.

You should think about

your daughter, who is still young.

I heard she is quite sick.

The negotiation for settlement

has been completed.

It seems that Yu Ri's father

was convinced by his relatives.

You know it very well.

=Yu Ri's father is mentally retarded. So...=

Yeon Du, are you confident in

articulating your statement clearly?

What are you doing here?

You said you were very busy at school

and couldn't return home.

Is this place your school?

Are you thinking that people

might not believe in your words,

so that's why you chose not to tell me?

Think of yourself first.

Take good care of your family.

It's no use saying the right things.

I have to go in.

To you,

is this child more important than

your daughter Sol I?

I was present when this

happened to the child,

but I was helpless.

If I were to give up now,

I'm not confident that I'll be a good father to Sol I.

Gim Yeon Du.

You said that the Headmaster violated you.

Is that the truth?

Yes.

Are you usually on good terms

with the Headmaster?

No.

Then how would you know that

the person who violated you was the Headmaster?

Because I met him a few times at school.

Also, that person dragged me

into the Headmaster's Office that night.

In that case, between the 2 persons over there,

which one is the Headmaster?

Objection.

He cannot request the victim

to confirm the identity of a suspect

who has already been confirmed.

This is a very important question.

She said that she was violated by the Headmaster.

To the victim, it's just an encounter.

However, if we look from the perspective of

the Headmaster and his younger twin brother,

it's possible that the real culprit wasn't

the Headmaster but his younger brother.

Then Headmaster Lee Gang Seok

would no longer be a suspect.

Objection overruled. Please continue.

Between the two, who is the one

that harmed you?

Your Honor, Yeon Du requests to

take a closer look at them.

Agreed.

Prisoner with serial number 4022

is indeed the defendant, Headmaster Lee Gang Seok.

But,

how did you recognize him?

Does Lee Gang Seok have any special features?

Headmaster and Admin Head

both do not know sign language.

But on the night when Headmaster

did that to me in the toilet,

and every time when he did bad things to Yu Ri,

he would always make one hand sign.

What was the hand sign?

If you dare to tell others, I will kill you.

I performed this hand sign to both of them.

Only one of them understood this

and his facial expression changed.

Hence, this person must be the Headmaster.

Yeon Du, according to your testimony,

after dinner,

on your way home after buying a bowl of noodles,

you noticed that Yu Ri had disappeared, right?

After that, you saw the Headmaster

sexually abusing Yu Ri in the Headmaster Office.

Is that the truth?

Yes.

In this hearing,

on your way to the dormitory,

you heard faint music coming

from the Headmaster Office.

So you changed your direction and

walked towards it to find out more, right?

Yes.

Your Honor.

This is it.

Faint music.

Everyone knows that Yeon Du is deaf.

But yet she could hear music.

This deaf child, upon hearing music, walked towards it.

When she reached the source of the music,

she saw the Headmaster raping her friend.

Your Honor.

This testimony is so absurd!

- To come up with such absurd testimony...

- She said she didn't lie.

She really heard very faint music.

It's a song from Jo Sung Mo.

Witness, you have impaired hearing,

but you can still hear music, right?

Yes.

Yeon Du.

From now onwards, we are running a test

to check whether you can hear music.

If you hear music, please raise your hand.

Begin.

I recognize the witness' account.

Forensic Branch, please submit a report to the court

with regards to Yeon Du's suspect identification.

The next hearing is this Friday.

Prosecutor and Defense Lawyer,

if you have new witnesses,

please reapply to the court.

What did all those adults do

to these children?

When you are done with it,

return home quickly.

Miss Seo.

Why are you here?

Looks like you guessed correctly.

Correct. That is the...

contract.

When Min Su's grandmother saw the money,

she immediately signed the contract.

It's really funny.

No matter how poor or how illiterate you are,

it was her own grandchildren

who met with such a thing.

Just because of money,

they agreed to settle outside court.

Well, of course.

It's not something that I can't understand.

She has a son but he lies in

a hospital bed all day long.

Her daughter-in-law eloped.

Also, her grandchildren

are deaf and mute.

Even I feel that

God is a bit too much.

Teacher, when I'm giving my testimony,

can I have this in front of me?

I also want to give a good

performance just like Yeon Du.

But I'm not confident about myself.

So I have written them down here.

When Mr. Pak Bo Hyeon did that sort of thing

to my younger brother and me.

Min Su...

Originally, you need to give a testimony.

But you cannot do it anymore.
