"I had to give you up" "You are a sweet child you'd smile your pretty smiles to complete strangers..." "I knew anyone will be happy to have you anyone will be able to love you" "After I'm done with this man..." "I'm planning to return you to Australia" "My sins are too great and too deep... for me to take care such a sweet child like you" "You're innocent, but but I made you grew up without a mother..." "But, also part of the punishment I must take" "Listen carefully" "People make mistakes" "If you commit a sin, you have to make atonement for that sin" "Atonement, do you know what that means?" "Atonement" "Yes, that's it" "Big atonement for big sins..." "Small atonement for small sins" "OK?" "Because he made me a sinner" "This man killed a little boy..." "And..." "I helped him" "I was happy..." "Too happy for a sinner" "Jenny" "I'm truly sorry" "Farewell" "Get up, teacher!" "Time to go to work!" "Geum-ja, what's with that eye shadow?"

"You know how this feels" "There were four!" "I told you I can't come to work today" "It's not that..." "Someone's here looking for you" "Who?" "Well, the thing is" "They won't say who they are?"

"Please don't kill me, sir" "Wait just a minute" "This is Yoo Jae-kyoung, 2000" "Mommy" "He was a teacher at English schools in affluent neighbourhoods" "He'd pick his victim, kidnap and kill them, then move on to another school" "He'd never pick a child from one of his own classes" "Which is why he was never under any suspicion" "Coffee or green tea?" "Children annoyed him, so he would tape them right after kidnapping them..." "And killed them straight away" "The voices you heard on the line while negotiating the ransom were taped off the videos after the kids were already dead" "Now, you have two options" "If you want lawful punishment..." "We will hand him over to Chief Choi here" "But if you want a speedier more personalized death for him..." "You can have it right here and now" "Does he have a child of his own?" "He is supposed to be sterile" "Then what did he need all that money for?" "He put it in the bank" "Of course, the money will all be returned to you..." "With no kid, what did he need all that money for?" "He... was going to buy a yacht" "The police have big sticks but they don't know how to use them" "If we leave it to them, there'd be nothing but never-ending trials..." "And all those bloody reporters..." "How about we leave it to Geum-ja?" "It'd be easier since she's been to jail and all" "That's cowardly!" "They're our kids" "Then, let each person choose if they want to be in or not" "I'm for individual choice" "Why don't you just let him choose his own death or trial, then..." "Individually?" "Little while ago, you wanted to hand him over to the police" "Then you wanted to leave it up to Geum-ja..." "Now you want to be left out alone?" "What the hell do you want?" "Won-mo's family has to follow the majority, too" "You know that, right?" "She has a weak heart..." "Hey, mine's weak, too" "Then Won-mo's father can represent the family" "One person per family should be enough" "Alright?" "What if Won-mo's mom informs on us later?" "She couldn't." "Her husband's in on it, too" "They could always get divorced" "We can leave some evidence, then" "How about we all take a picture?" "So that even if we feel guilty later..." "Guilty?" "Guilt for killing that bastard?" "We'd feel guilty if we didn't kill him when we had him." "That's guilt!" "Let me say a word" "I killed when I was in prison..." "I'm also the one who caught Baek after 13 years of planning..." "If anyone here informs the police..." "I won't say any more" "Shall we go in one at a time?" "Or all together at once?" "One at a time for what?" "Let's just go finish him off" "There's no need to share such a personal matter with other families" "Isn't that right, dad?" "Won't it be scary going in alone?" "And it could be dangerous" "Just think of it as using the toilet" "In any case, it's a private affair" "Each to his own." "A la carte..." "We don't all have to get the same set menu" "Please, honey..." "We're divorced This isn't a couples thing!" "We don't have to go in together" "Excuse me, I think..." "It'd be too easy if we did it all together" "Honey!" "I brought along a sedative" "You couldn't even touch that finger remember?" "Alright, then..." "Won-mo's father is out, and his mother will go in alone Jae-kyoung's and Dong-hwa's are going in together..." "Is that right?" "Yes!" "Let's do it then!" "Wait!" "Just a second!" "Shouldn't we decide what order you go in?" "Will that be enough for you?" "I can lend you mine after" "Well..." "I think I'll be okay" "Honey..." "Everyone pay attention" "If you grip it like this, the tip of the knife will slip and not penetrate deeply" "You could also cut your hand" "So grip it like this at all times, please" "Or you could just stab him like this" "Why did you do it?" "You look like a normal person" "Why?" "Ma'am, there's no such thing as a perfect person" "This isn't going to bring our son back is it, honey?" "Right?" "You all look very well off Take a look at that" "She took her boots off, so's not to get blood on the suede" "Does that make any sense to you here?" "My mom had to scrub hotel floors to send my brother to that school" "We ran around like dogs to come up with the ransom" "Now we've lost our house and our relatives won't see us" "My daughter-in-law killed herself and my son left the country" "We all have our own stories to tell" "Dad!" "We're not the last, dad." "Eun-joo's grandma's still waiting her turn" "Dad..." "Come on, give me a hand!" "Mister, get up" "Please." "Get a hold of yourself!" "I'm sorry, but..." "Could you step aside a moment?" "Thank you" "Happy birthday to you..." "Happy birthday to you..." "Happy birthday dear..." "I'm sorry" "It felt like a birthday to me..." "We can say it is, then" "Happy birthday to you!" "Will you wire the money into our accounts?" "My account number" "In France when there's a break in the conversation like this they say an angel is passing" "It's snowing!" "It's snowing a lot" "When did it all pile up so much?" "What time is it now?" "The traffic..." "The roads will freeze soon" "Won-mo" "I have..." "Along the path on green grass..." "A lady in red heels goes..." "Click, click, click with her heels Where might she be going?" "Won't she look back..." "Are you really going to send Jenny back?" "...back my way for a glance?" "Are you?" "One step, two..." "The lady in red heels takes another step away, alone..." "Lee Geum-ja made a great mistake in her youth..." "And used other people to achieve her own goals..." "But she still couldn't find the redemption she so desired" "In spite of this..." "Actually, because of this..." "I liked Geum-ja" "Farewell Geum-ja" "Brought to you by EddBoi"
