But then she ran off.

But there was so much rain.

It was dark,

and she was far off.

Was it her... was it not her?

I don't think so.

No, the girl wasn't Mi-ok.

No.

The test showed no blood

on Mi-ok's school uniform.

Tell me this is a different

color from what it really is.

Green.

Good.

We're starting.

Was your pride hurt that

your dad was her dad's driver?

No.

Did you bury Min-jin?

No.

Why'd you format your phone?

Was there something

you wanted to hide?

It got wet that day,

and stopped working.

Just answer yes or no.

That's why I formatted it.

Did you kill Min-jin?

No.

Min-jin was just an annoying sh*t.

KIM Min-jin

When her dad came

as a guest speaker,

all the other kids

must've felt it too.

Do announcers earn a lot?

Someone as famous as you?

I know how you feel.

It's our secret.

I promise.

If you won't get rich,

you won't be an announcer?

Then how do you

become an announcer?

Oh, sorry.

I stayed with my dad in

Washington a few years.

Are you mad?

Don't be mad.

F*** you.

KIM Passes NOH in Polls

After Daughter's Death

Bereaved mother's

controversial attire

Did you complete your task?

And the photo?

This is driving me crazy.

It is bad.

In hospital,

very very more terrible.

And after you must

meet counseling doctor.

Damn, you like Joan Faye?

Joan Faye.

Joan Faye.

Joan Faye.

Title, "Wild Rose Hill".

OK?

You wanna know

a reliable way?

The most reliable way

is to jump

from someplace high.

This is great!

Investigation Records,

Murder of Kim Jong-chan's Daughter

My daughter's account

had over 50,000 emails.

I found one email

from two years ago.

First year finals, she received

the exam three days early.

As you see,

10240 sent the exam.

The subject says "omitted".

Forwarding something

left out of earlier messages?

So she forgot to delete it.

These are her grades.

From that semester,

her scores shot up.

And the same with CHOI Mi-ok.

They ranked among

the top in the school.

Then they continued

to rank high.

Now CHOI Mi-ok is

one of the suspects.

Isn't it suspicious?

If your grades drop suddenly

it's a problem,

but in the opposite case,

no one suspects.

My daughter's

bad at school like me.

You don't really think this is

connected to her death?

Why'd you send her the exams?

I liked her.

So you killed her?

Are you crazy?

Why would I?

I really liked Min-jin.

Then lead her down a good path,

don't help her cheat!

It's what she wanted.

I only gave her the questions,

she solved them herself.

I don't know about you,

but she's smarter than you think.

If you tell the police,

it will disgrace our dead Min-jin.

Don't you want to

win the election?

She was bullied

when she was alive.

Do you want people talking

about her even after death?

Except for a hit-and-run homicide,

there were no incidents that night.

Where was the hit-and-run?

An outer road by

the New Town construction.

The victim was a male,

not from here.

Don't move.

If you move you'll get hurt.

The suspect in the assault

on KIM's wife

is head of the

Clean Citizens Group

and a long-time supporter of NOH.

On NOH's homepage,

the suspect posted 20 messages

on KIM's qualifications

and her hometown.

Sir, she's awake.

You had someone

following me, right?

I worried something

might happen to you.

This model is over 20,000 volts.

Keep it with you.

This is a permit to use it.

Stun Gun

Instruction Manual

Don't get hurt, darling.

Our Min-jin wouldn't

want that, either.

Thanks, honey.

It may be

that our daughter

was not as nice

as we thought she was.

...three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine,

ten,

eleven,

eleven and a half.

Now, our party will start.

October Free Time.

Now we'll always be together.

The black night is coming.

Now, the stars

will shine brighter.

Braid my hair.

Embrace my heart.

It's time to go.

Wild Rose Hill.

Where butterflies fly.

Watch over my dream.

It's time to go.

Wild Rose Hill.

That's me.

I was the first one

to become a fan.

Why?

Their song tells my story.

Do you want another video

of Jini and Oki?

This is one that I shot.

Mi-ok would never

do that to Min-jin.

Mi-ok is the coolest

girl I've ever met.

We were really happy.

Min-jin worried if she moved,

Mi-ok would get picked on.

To avoid that,

you need good grades,

and you need

to dress smart.

Mi-ok is really poor.

CHOI Mi-ok

JO So-yeon

JO So-yeon.

Why's your uniform so tight?

Is that your style?

What?

Wild Rose Hill

by Jini and Oki

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven and eleven and a half!

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

eleven and eleven and a half!

Now, our party will start.

October Free Time.

We'll be together always.

The black night is coming.

Now, the stars

will shine brighter.

Embrace my heart.

Embrace my heart!

Braid my hair.

Braid my hair!

Protect my dream.

Protect my dream!

October Free Time.

That's the first day

of Dad's campaign.

Since Mom and Dad

were busy.

This is the branch

of a wild rose.

Wild Rose Hill is

where Min-jin was found.

Eleven and a half

must mean 11:
30.

And 100 million stars?

Money.

Min-jin wanted 100 million won

for her birthday present.

It was for

your party, right?

And the party was...

And the party was...

the money you got from the one

who sent you exams.

I know who she is.

Min-jin's the lyricist,

I'm the composer.

We don't steal songs

from other people.

Your school uniform.

I met JO So-yeon yesterday.

She was wearing your uniform.

You surely washed it,

but a test reveals everything.

After my mom died,

I only had my dad.

Then he remarried

and popped out those kids.

All I had was Min-jin,

so why would I kill her? Why?

Okay you didn't do it!

But then who killed my Min-jin?!

It was her!

She hired someone

to kill Min-jin.

The phone of the bastard

who killed Min-jin.

In here's the number of

the person who ordered it.

It's my fault Min-jin died.

She was gonna

give that money to me.

Because my family's poor,

and Min-jin would study abroad.

I drove that bastard's car.

Got in when he wasn't looking.

I hit him in the same way

that he killed Min-jin.

I learned to drive from my Dad.

Backwards and forwards.

Once,

twice,

three times.

To the President of Korea,

since Min-jin died and I could

be next, I'm leaving this letter.

The person who killed

Min-jin and me

is teacher SON Sora

from Sinsung Girls Middle School.

The reason she killed us

is that we have a video of

her having sex with a man.

Two years ago we gave her

a car air freshener

with a hidden camera inside.

So for two years she sent

exam papers to us.

Finally we demanded

100 million won.

And she hired someone

to kill Min-jin.

President, I beg you to

please execute SON Sora.

It's our final wish.

Have a nice day.

From CHOI Mi-ok.

If you've seen it,

give me back the phone!

No.

No, give it back!

I'm not stupid.
