403 paid this morning?

How? What did you do?

Why did he pay?

He said he used it all?

- Why did he? - I don't know.

You got the money, right?

I guess.

- Just a moment. - Class has already started.

I just need to check one thing.

- You can't. - Please.

Please let me inside.

You can't go inside.

My son said he's here.

I said no. Stop asking.

I can't get in touch with him.

How can you just say you don't know?

We don't know everything.

Geez

- Are you okay?- Are you okay?

Please bring some cold water.

Are you okay?

I met you in front of the management office.

Where does he live?

(Close the door quietly if you want to live)

I'm sure of one thing.

303 disappeared that night.

He'd tell everyone to be quiet even if it got

a little loud.

But everyone in this building knows

when he started getting quiet.

Stop it.

I said stop making so much noise.

It's connected to 403.

Someone's there, right? Hello?

If not?

Are you going to take responsibility for it?

Lady.

What are you doing there?

Kae Tae.

I know why 303 disappeared.

What if he was murdered?

He just went under the radar.

So many people stop paying and run away.

I don't think you understand.

402 knew that 303 disappeared.

I believe her.

Something feels off.

You're talking nonsense like 402.

There's something off about 403.

Lady, you're stranger.

What did your son say?

He has no time to believe me.

I'm going to just be quiet.

He's a real hero.

Kae Tae.

Someone could've died, okay?

Even if I'm wrong,

but if there's the slightest chance,

we can't act like we don't know?

Someone's life is on the line.

It's just one guy who stopped picking up.

Why are you making it into a big deal?

It's not 1. It's 2.

What?

Yesterday I saw

someone else in 403.

Then call the police.

We need to be sure before we call.

Be sure of what?

Bring me 403's key so I can find evidence.

What evidence?

I don't know.

Now you're asking me to steal.

What's in it for me?

I'll be your mom.

That's great.

You can work at my store. It's better.

Why would I go there?

You need skills to survive.

- Forget it. Money. - How much?

$800.

$50.

Forget it.

$80.

$100 or forget it.

Fine! Let's shake on it.

Now let's scan and bump fists!

Promise.

(Dongil Mansion)

(1 day before the exam)

Kae Tae.

Yes.

How many?

You need to tell me.

Sir.

The kids are addicted to this.

They want it 3 times a day.

What if this is actually effective?

I've had it a few times.

I really think it's effective.

Why are you eating it?

Let's go eat.

Kae Tae.

Yes.

Let's go eat.

I Um

- I'm not feeling well. - What?

That's strange. You're always hungry.

Thanks.

- Let's go. - Yes.

What would you like to eat?

What should we eat?

See you soon.

(Management Office)

What? What do you want?

I I want to leave next month

Ah

Hey

Where are you going?

Tomorrow's the exam so I'm studying

Duk Gu.

Yes.

Didn't you leave yesterday?

Did my son leave?

Yes, he left in the morning.

I cant let him know I'm here.

Why? What did you do wrong?

There's a lot going on.

Why did you come back?

There's a reason.

Duk Gu, did you see someone walk by

in apricot heels yesterday?

Ah.

(Haggard Girl)

Haggard Girl.

I think it's her.

I'm sensitive about shoes.

Hey.

Don't ever throw this away.

What?

I saw 403.

- What did he say? - He's leaving.

What did I say? Have the key?

Of course, okay?

What are you saying?

Forget it.

When 403 comes, call me.

Can't you tell me what's going on?

- Can you? - I can

I'll call.

Give me your hand.

Scan and bump my fist.

Promise.

Let's go.

It's dark.

Close the door.

What if he sees from the outside?

(You need to work harder than others)

It's me.

You're here?

You failed 10 times, right?

So what if he went to a good school?

No money, no honor,

you only have your pride.

I feel bad for his parents.

He's married. Poor wife.

Isn't he from a good school?

- Is that a husband? - I feel bad for her.

She must've taken care of him till now.

Doesn't he feel bad for his family?

Why are the lights off?

Ah

I can't concentrate when it's too bright.

Won't you come in?

I'm just stopping by.

What's wrong?

Oh

This month

the water bill was really high.

I see

You called me over for the water bill?

No I

Geez.

I'm so sick of you.

Ah

I have something to tell you.

Let's get a divorce.

Why are you saying that?

I can't take care of you anymore.

You're so irresponsible. If you don't have

talent, you should have a conscience.

Take care of the water bill on your own.

Why do you think I've been living this way?

You wanted me to be a prosecutor.

Do you know how I lived for 10 years?

Do you think you made it on your own?

You think my life is over, don't you?

What?

Underwear?

That's amazing.

Let's go. I'm hungry.

Be quiet.

There's nothing here.

Wait one moment.

Hello.

You're taking the exam tomorrow, right?

I failed the first exam, so I can't take it.

I'm so jealous.

I:

Good luck on the exam.

This is a huge deal.

We're screwed.

- Lady. - Yeah.

- We almost got caught. - He just

came out of nowhere.

Duk Gu, it's okay. Everything's fine.

Let's go.

Hold on to my waist.

Go.

Why are you here?

I:

I couldn't tell you a lot of things.

I think someone died in 403.

That's why the water bill was so high.

Do you care about me at all?

Of course, I do.

You mean the world to me.

I came back here because it's dangerous.

If people know this, they'll laugh.

All you do is give illegal procedures.

What? Call the police?

Do you have to do that? Today?

Mom.

Mom.

I've been waiting 3 years for this.

I've been waiting for this day.

You said I'm your world.

Can't you just do this for me? Please?

Just on the day of the exam,

stay at home. I'm begging you.

I told her not to touch anything.

The door's open.

Oh.

Wow.

I said the door's open, okay?

What's this?

You came into my room, didn't you?

What are you talking about?

What's this?

Were you looking for something?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Mom.

Do you have to go? I'm begging you.

I don't have time for this.

Do you think I have time for this?

Someone's life is on the line.

This test is my life.

Ik Soo.

I need to go save someone.

You're a law student. Don't you understand?

I won't call the police. Let go.

I'll handle this myself.

Kae Tae.

Kae Tae.

Wake up.

Kae Tae.

403

Don't come near me.

What is this?

Don't come here.

403, what's wrong with you?

Stop right there.

This is all because of you.

- Ik Soo. - Mom, are you okay?

I called the police.

- Why? - You said someone died.

Ik Soo, are you okay?

Lower the knife, okay?

How dare you threaten my son?

Kae Tae, are you okay?

Do you smoke?

What?

Sorry.

Give me one.

You smoke too, Mom?

I'll share one with my son.

Mom.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

You came to save me.

Hey.

The exam.

What time is it?

Oh no. Oh goodness.

Let's go take the exam.

I can't in this condition.

You must be out of your mind. Go.
