School 2017 (2017): Season 1, Episode 12 - Episode #1.12 - full transcript

What I need right now...

is not your kindness.

Eun-ho.

So, Tae-woon...

don't come to me again.

Stay away.

Don't think about or get involved
in my life anymore.

This is my answer...

to your confession.

Is everything easy for you?

Who are you to make light of my pride



and my dream?

You said your computer broke,
so you can't draw.

Then draw your webtoon on this.

Then you won't need
to work part time, right?

EASY AND FAST LOAN

SOAR UP, YOU

I thought about it all night.

I understand how you feel...

but couldn't you just
accept my gesture of goodwill?

Why is it so complicated?

Why is your pride so twisted?

-My pride is twisted?
-You could just

say thanks and chase your dream.

I'm sorry I couldn't be cool about it.



Then just be cool and take it.

Then what?

What will you do for me next time?

A complete computer package?

Will you buy me a car
since I can't take buses?

Eun-ho.

Goodwill?

You only care about how you feel.

That's why everything's so easy for you.

I went crazy considering
your confession.

But for you, that must've been so easy.

Did I?

Did I look like I meant nothing?

You might've thought it was spontaneous
and childish of me.

But, I countlessly hesitated before that.

"What if I make her uncomfortable?"

"What if I get rejected?"

The endless thoughts made me so anxious.

You think it was easy?

-How can that be easy?
-That's not what I meant.

I can be flustered by your sudden
confession and feelings.

That was my desperate effort.

At least, I tried.

I tried to think what my feelings
toward you are.

I tried to understand
what you were concerned with,

and why you were suffering.

And what did you do?

Have you even tried to understand me?

What I'm really upset about is,

it was so difficult for me
to tell you my feelings.

And yet, just like that...

you made it something easy.

I came to return this.

I don't see a reason to take this.

What are you doing?

You said you wouldn't take it.

I don't need it, either.

Go get it if you need it.

Why are you being so difficult?

-What?
-Apologize,

or let me apologize.
Give in, at least for once.

Do you have to be like this until the end?

Did you have to hurt my pride
by coming here and returning that gift?

Do you feel better?

Gosh, the cleaning.

Can't you be more careful?

I'm being very careful now.

Did Eun-ho dump you?

What?

I must be right.

I mean, you're so self-centered.

It'd be impossible for her
to put up with it.

What do you know?

You aren't a child.
Don't take it out on me.

You and your temper.

Are you crazy?

You want to fight? Well?

How long are you going to keep that up?

You can't stand being rejected,

and you go crazy
if you can't get your way.

That's why Eun-ho couldn't stand it.

It's good to hear

that she's decided
not to get involved with you.

Are you kidding me?

I'm much better than a coward like you.

Why, did you find a richer girl
than Nam-joo?

Is that why you dumped her?

What? You crazy punk!

INDORAE HALL

Hello, Mr. Koo.

Leave them be.

Pardon?

They won't listen to whatever we say.

Sometimes, a fist fight
is the best solution.

Maybe it's because you're a nerd.

Your punches are so soft.

You don't even study.

Why are your punches like that?

Have you gone crazy?

You punk.

When will your hot temper

ever die down?

It's always a problem.

Why?

Do you feel resentful because
I beat you up back in the days?

I didn't even have time to feel resentful.

I know.

Why did you do it?

Please let my son
see his classroom one last time.

I'd like to do that, but I can't.
I'm sorry.

Gosh, please!

That day...

why did you take the exam?

That day of all days.

It was Joon-gi's funeral.

Then what?

What should I have done?

Should I have cried like crazy,
holding onto the funeral car?

Or...

should I have punched your dad...

to change his mind?

Still...

You shouldn't have taken
the exam that day.

I made up my mind then.

That I should study hard
to become a rich and powerful person.

Not to lose what's precious to me...

because of money, ever again.

That was...

the promise I could make with Joon-gi.

You were justifying yourself
like a coward.

Like I did.

I couldn't stand how powerless I was.

But there was nothing I could do.

So, I justified myself.

I blamed you,

when I should have blamed myself.

I thought that you were worse than me.

You're right about that.

After all, I was trying to justify myself.

But...

I'm a jerk who made my friend
a delinquent, and got away alone.

But I didn't want you...

to become like that.

I was worried...

you might become a jerk
and a coward, just like me.

If Joon-gi sees us,
he might give us a beating.

You know how he is.

One beating wouldn't cut it for him.

-Crazy punk.
-Crazy punk.

Hey.

Aren't you worried about Eun-ho?

Look who's talking.

What are you going to do with Nam-joo?

Nam-joo.

What are you doing here?
It's embarrassing.

What's all this dirt on your suit?

You worked at a construction site in that?

I had to go for an interview
in the morning.

I guess I should become
a construction worker.

I don't need
fancy qualifications for that.

What a great idea.

Our parents would be so happy
if they heard you.

No luck is on my side.

I mean, I'm not asking
to be a billionaire.

Luck is usually on the side
of those with power.

It's not even that great of a dream.

I just want to be
an office worker, like others.

I just want to get gift sets
from my company,

and visit my parents'
with them on a holiday.

It's nothing too big.

Darn it.

Why are your shoes so dirty?

You're so sloppy.

Straighten your shoulders, too.

It's not like the world will end.

Judging by how you're acting all tough,

you must be going through a lot, Eun-ho.

I know things are bad,
but look at what's on the table.

You should at least
grill some ham for them.

You know Eun-ho is a junior.

Right, I'm the one to blame.

-Do you want some?
-No.

I'm okay. I love eating dried laver.

You didn't have to put it that way, Dad.

It's all because of you.

If only you had a job.

It's not like he didn't want to.

So, why did you have to be scammed?

Do you think I wanted to get scammed?

Do you think I knew that my childhood
friend would betray me like that?

Thanks for the meal.

Seriously.

I can't stand them.

Stop calling me out like this.

I know you've changed,
but you've gotten scary, Dae-hwi.

I have nothing to say to you.

Don't call me.

We still have a lot of deals to negotiate.

That's what you think.

I told you before.

I have to come in first
in the upcoming finals.

Lunatic.

I found it.

Conclusive evidence that Tae-woon is X.

What is it? Tell me.

Don't test me.

Am I stupid?

To show my hand
without anything in return?

I found a weakness, so I should milk it.

Right?

You don't believe me, right?
Then don't do it.

But that will be the end of Tae-woon.

Do whatever you want.

End him or destroy him!

I don't care.

You should've believed me.

Don't do it.

Your hands will get dirty.

-Mom.
-What?

I failed the civil servant exam.

-Sorry.
-It's okay.

Do you want to scrap that
and start studying for college?

Are you afraid I'll fail again?

No.

I want you go to college ,
study with your friends

and meet new people.

I'd like you to experience
what everyone else does.

It's okay.

I can't get in, anyway.

I'll make a lot of money
and make you comfortable.

Why are you talking about
making money already?

You're only 18.

Still, I have to, given our circumstances.

I said not to do that!

Don't worry about me,

and think about what you want to do.

Why do you keep worrying
about things like that?

How could I?

Given our circumstances,
how could I dream and think of a future?

I know that's a luxury I can't afford.

It will only give me false hope!

Sa-rang.

Sorry, Mom.

Your nose is running.

It is not.

Did something sad happen?

I was bratty to my mom.

Then you must be upset, too.

The one who causes someone pain,
usually hurts more when it's family.

I'm so upset,

but I keep getting angry.

I'm hurt my mom wants me
to do what I can't,

and I feel so pathetic
for feeling this way.

Then tell your mom the truth.

Isn't that how you made up
with Eun-ho?

Yes.

How long are you going to keep that up?

You can't stand being rejected,

and you go crazy
if you can't get your way.

That's why Eun-ho couldn't stand it.

Hey.

"Is he stupid? Does he have no pride?
After I chewed him out like that?"

That's what you're thinking, right?

I have crazy pride.

But, rather than protecting my pride,

I'd rather protect your dream.
That's why I'm here.

Well...

I don't know how to do it,
but regardless...

Let's protect it together! There, done.

Test prep.

Here. Take one.

Take one.

Smile, will you?

Test prep.

No, no, no. Higher.

Left.

Here?

Next to the triangular gimbap.

Here? Okay.

How many times must I tell you?

If you stink this badly, you'll be fired.

Really? Okay, okay. Here?

Not there. To the left.

Or not.

What?

Is it good?

This is the reward of hard labor.

Yes.

You have to give me this.

I'm working crazy hard
to protect your dream.

Was your family situation resolved?

Not yet.

But, I don't think it was only
about my family's situation.

I think...

it may have been an excuse.

An excuse?

As you know, I only have 13 views.

Someone on the site that hosts
my series has 4,700 views,

and she's a ninth grader.

But, I don't even know

why she does so well,

and I don't.

Hey.

Hey.

Yours is so much fun.

It's only because
people don't know about it.

Know what's sadder?

The fact that my admitting
I don't have talent

makes more sense.

And that I'm using that
as an excuse to give up.

Like a coward.

You really won't do the series?

I don't get many views, anyway.

If you don't do it this week, you're out.

I know.

But, I don't have the confidence.

IS ISSUE LEAVING
GEUMSANG CHEOMHWA FOR REAL?

Look.

The tabloids were right.

What? Did you see it?

He never had a presence,

and now he's disappearing.

The poor guy.

Sa-rang. You saw the article, right?

Yes.

They're so cruel,

kicking out a member like that.

But he was a bit bland.

His face is bland, his dancing is bland,

his singing is bland.

Issue should be an issue, but he isn't.

-He isn't an issue.
-That's right.

I mean, Issue--

-Stop it.
-What?

A Sprite, please.

I heard you were cut.

You must feel like the world is crumbling.

I'm fine.

No, you're not. I'm sure your only dream
was to be a singer.

I said I'm fine.

You look like you're about to cry!

I said I'm really fine!

You're suddenly terrified,

don't know what to do,

and wonder if your life is over.

And maybe you should just die.

You get all sorts of thoughts, don't you?

When I had to quit baseball
due to an injury,

I was just like you.

But look at me now.

Did my life end? Did it?

As you can see, I'm doing just fine.

I realized with time,

that each person
isn't limited to one dream.

And nothing stops you
from changing it along the way.

Hey.

You may get a new dream, out of the blue.

Don't act like you're about to die.

You'll scare away the dreams.

Good luck.

Why didn't you sign up
for the field study?

You didn't even show it to me.

Even if I went, it wouldn't
have been any fun, anyway.

It'll be tiring with so many kids, too.

Is that really why?

Is it?

It wasn't about the cost?

It wasn't. Of course, not.

It really wasn't about the cost?

Why can't you answer me?

If I go to this...

how many days
will you live on Cup Noodles?

Goodness.

What are you talking about?

You think I don't know?

I know you eat Cup Noodles
in the bathroom.

Goodness.

Don't go to your prep class today.

Have dinner with me.

Two steaks and...

No, no. I want a salad.

I'm not hungry.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Two Course B please.

-Two Course B.
-Yes.

Mom. What are you doing?

Didn't you see the price?
It's super expensive.

Let's go. Okay?

I'm not okay.

I can afford this much.

I'm younger and healthier than you think,

and I'll make much more going forward.

I can buy you good food

and nice clothes,
and let you do what you want.

-Mom...
-Look.

Don't worry so much about me.

That's insulting.

So,

please have faith in me, will you?

Get annoyed, like other kids.

Throw tantrums.

And take it out on me
whenever you need, okay?

How could I do that?

You can.

Kids are allowed to do that to their moms.

Who else can you do that to?

So, don't worry about me from now on.

Think only about you, okay?

If things get unbearable,
I'll let you know.

Let me be a mom
to my heart's content, too.

Give me your hand.

CHICKEN

Can you see any stars?

Hi. Yes.

Over there. It's sparkling.

Will you really take
the college entrance exam?

Are you giving up
on the civil servant exam?

Not exactly.

I'll at least take the mock exam.

I don't know myself, yet.

What I'm good at, what my dream is,

whether I can get into college.

And if I go, what I'll be good at.

I'm not very studious,

and I felt like I'm just
wasting these books.

Okay.

Let's solve these questions
and solve our lives too.

Whatever it is, let's do it.

Let's do it.

These are hard.

I couldn't solve them.

Give me one.

What? Why are you so shocked?

You smoke, but I can't?

You're a cop, not a thug.

My point exactly.

Must I act like a thug?

It makes me look bad.

You're so annoying.

Why are you doing this
outside of the school?

Because I'm a cop
outside of the school, too.

Whether I give these to Mr. Koo,
or hold onto them myself,

depends on you guys.

There's no point.

I'm still a cop, after all.

Would I give these back?

All of those cigarettes are mine.

I see. So leave them out of it?

I like that you're loyal.

Pickpocket!

Not bad.

WE ARE PROUD
TO KEEP YOU SAFE AND HAPPY

Are you okay?

It's nothing.

It isn't nothing.

Leave it. It doesn't hurt much.

Gosh. When I was young,

I ran away, rebelled, and did all of that.

I used to talk like you.

"Leave me. I'm fine."

I said I'm fine.

You are not.

I realized much later that I wasn't fine.

After it got infected.

So?

I fought like crazy,

and was constantly dragged
into the police station.

Smoking was a joke.

So, compared to me,
you're a very good delinquent.

You're doing well.

The way you're living may be right.

What? You've never seen
such an impossible adult?

At least you are honest
with your feelings,

your rage and frustrations.

I just don't know what to do,

so I live any way I can.

I don't know how to "do well".

I know.

That's how I was.

Anyway, you're doing well, so don't worry.

So I was thinking,
how about a part time job?

A job?

Simply put, you'd be my assistant.

You can help with simple filing.

If you'd help me catch purse snatchers
like today, I'd be grateful.

That's so lame.

Think it over.

The pay is pretty good.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Thank you.

Sa-rang. Hi.

I was thinking of buying spicy rice cakes...

But...

Sorry. I'll call you back.

I worked super hard for this money.

Don't give up and keep going on interviews
until the soles on these shoes wear out.

When they do, I'll buy you new ones,

so don't be discouraged.

Walk with confidence.

Let's do this.

Goodness.

What a cruddy day.

Are you liking my office?

It's my office now.

How are you liking that tiny office?

You seem to be doing well.

Mind your own business.

I'll be reinstated soon.

Don't get kicked out of that room as well.

You seem to want to stay
in that office in my place,

but the students would love it

if they knew the truth about you.

You ball of ambition.

"Human beings are ambitious animals."

Don't you know that?

I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

That's been my dream.

Let's see how long you can stay there.

Just try me.

After becoming an adult, I've never
lost anything of mine to someone else.

That crazy vice principal.

That crazy principal.

I love eating the most.

I can tell. You're always eating.

I like cookies more than you.

Eun-ho is drawing a webtoon?

Yes. It's called, "Student X."

It would be impossible
if she didn't know X personally.

This is...

really fun.

How do you...

know what X does,

I wonder?

No, no.

I need to sound young.

Add "yong" at the end?

Kids these days say "yong"
at the end of a sentence.

It's so fun, yong.

Give me strawberry milk, yong.

Like that.

I understand, yong.

Give me strawberry milk, yong.

I don't have any, yong.

Are you friends, yong,

with X, yong,

by any chance, yong?

Yong.

I've got you now.

Mr. Hyun.

What brings you here
to this humble office?

Once you're reinstated,
please give your all to find X.

Yes, sir.

I will, as soon as I am reinstated.

X.

Then start tomorrow.

You're reinstated.

Do you...

mean it?

I've missed you.

You've been through so much.

Are you feeling okay?

Throw this away.

Hello, everyone at Geumdo.

I'm Yang Do-jin, the reinstated principal.

I swear to you, I'll catch X,

no matter what,

within a week, so don't do anything,

and wait.

Once caught, he'll face criminal charges,

not just be punished
under the school's rules.

I promise.

Is he serious?

What?

Say that again.

I know where X's hideout is.

Ms. Han, wait.

What's going on?

-They found X's hideout.
-What?

Tear the door down!

It's X! X is here!

Freeze!

Go get him!

There.

Wait a second.

You need to check here first.

There's an X there, and an X here.

What's the truth?

What are you doing?

We wanted

to study quietly by ourselves.

It's a study room.

Can't we study here?

Darn it!

Do you want to join?

You were awesome.

-"Can't we study here?"
-"Here?"

-You were great.
-I'm the famous Bo-ra.

Mr. Shim.

There's no use in running.
I know it's you.

Darn it. You got me.

I mean,

how am I supposed to take this?

This means you know who X is, right?

Then that means you didn't catch him
on purpose all this time.

I wanted to protect the kids.

I'm sorry.

Even still, you shouldn't
help him like this.

But I can't just watch him get caught.

He's fixing what the school does wrong.

Punishing just the kids
won't solve anything.

If you put it that way,

all crimes must have a reason.

You're treating the kids like criminals.

Do you plan to lock them all up?

Like you will to X?

Obviously.

I'm a cop.

I must follow the rules.

The law says,

you must be punished
if you do something wrong.

Who's X?

Who's X?

Fine.

Let's do this.

I have an idea, too.

How did they know?

Did you see Hee-chan's face?

I did. I cursed him out with my eyes.

I could even hear it.

I was so excited.
I couldn't contain myself.

How did you guys know?

Well...

Well, I did play hardball,

but he seemed to know something for sure.

It's obvious.

He couldn't have found any other evidence.

He must know about the storage room.

Since four of us know now,

it's no surprise he found out.

Hee-chan's been
coming around here a lot lately.

How do you know that?

Why don't we mess with him?

Awesome.

You should use that brain to study.

I'm smart. I just don't study, that's all.

Right? Hey.

That's right.

You're comparable to dolphins.

Hey.

Are you saying I'm smarter or what?

-Stupider.
-Dolphins are smart.

Crazy smart. Really.

How dare you compare me to a mammal?
Their IQ is only 80 or 90.

I guess this is farewell
to X's storage room.

Let's go.

If I study, I'll come in first.

I was being generous back there.

That was super close.

I don't even want to think about it.

It worked out this time,

but we have to be careful.

Hee-chan won't back off like this.

I think not, either.

But anyway,

your new series is super fun.

My new series?

This is...

Hey.

Why did you throw this away?

The drawings are weird
and the story is lame.

Hey. This is funny, too.

You're too critical of yourself.

I think it's fun.

No, no, no.

What happened?

I just uploaded them as you drew them.

Why are you not talented?

You have two new people
who think it's fun.

How did you think of doing this?

The stuff you drew until now.

It's a lot, right?

How did you...

You shouldn't bury all your effort.

But effort...

doesn't result in success.

As you said,

it may not work out,
even if you work hard.

People may never know

what Ra Eun-ho drew,

what she wanted to do all her life...

or what dreams she failed to achieve.

But Eun-ho...

I know.

I saw how hard you tried.

I'll stay by your side...

so let's not give up.

Let's give it our all.

Thank you for always giving me courage.

Heart.

What's this?

Was that a heart?

Did she just send me a heart?

What does this mean?

Nice.

What?

I got a heart.

So what? What?

Well...

I wonder why you sent me a heart?

There are so many emoticons. Why a heart?

What could this mean?

What? Why?

It doesn't mean anything.

-Sorry.
-What's wrong?

Is someone chasing you?

No.

What?

Tae-woon!

Hey. Hey. Why you...

What? I called him to talk to him.

-You used to fight.
-Hurry. Hurry.

Why are you being like this?

Tae-woon!

Darn it.

Darn it. Eun-ho. Seriously.

Why do I keep thinking of you?
Why do I keep missing you?

But...

why do you keep...

avoiding me?

Hey.

You heard me, right?

That I missed you.

Let me see you whenever I want to.

Stick by my side.

Whatever.

How did you know I was here?

Exactly. Stay close, will you?

I had a hard time finding you.

You think only of yourself.

I think only of you, too.

They say Helen Keller said,

"Life is either a daring adventure,
or nothing."

You should...

just walk confidently toward your dream.

What we find at the end of the road...

will not be a fancy destination,

but beautiful footsteps
we made along the way.

Hi, guys.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Did you wait long?
-Yes.

I will hand out your report cards.

Ho Jin-shik.

I found a good restaurant.

Seo Bo-ra. Song Dae-hwi.

Ahn Jung-il.

Congrats.

Seung-eun, Sa-rang, Kyung-goo.

Yoo Bit-na, Yoon Kyung-woo,
Yoon Jae-hyuk.

Seung-eun.

SONG DAE-HWI, RANK 1

Im Young-jin, Gook-dae, Eun-jung.

So-young, Choi Eun-jung.

Please come up.

Duk-soo, Yoon-hee, Tae-woon, Nam-joo.

Hyun-il is not here today.

Fifth place.

You call these grades?

Why can't you do anything right?

I fixed the school violence problems,

and you do even worse on your finals?

So?

What? What did you just say?

What do you want me to do about it?

Kim Hee-chan!

First school violence,
then you get bad grades.

Aren't you sorry? You did nothing wrong?

I don't feed bad at all.

Why you...

You always said,

"My son

didn't do anything wrong."

Hee-chan.

Did you miss me?

Are you insane? Why would I...

Yes.

I missed you.

I think...

I've always kept my feelings hidden away.

So when you said you liked me,
I was excited.

So what I feel is...

What I mean is--

So, what you mean is...

you like me, right?

So, what I mean is...

we're dating now.
