[calling...]

Hello.
Is this the Lee residence?

Yes, it is.
Mother of the house speaking.
Who am I speaking to?

Hello mrs. Lee.
I'm officer Kang from Seoul Police Department.
I'm calling to let you know
that something happened
to your daughter, Lee Chi-Sun. . .

[...]

Mrs. Lee?

[sobs]
What do you mean?
What's the time?
She— she should've
been home by now. . .

I'm very sorry, mrs. Lee.
Your daughter was found
on the main-road not too
long ago. There wasn't anything
we could do. . .

No— it can't be true. You're lying!

[sighs heavily]
I wish I was, mrs. Lee.
Your daughter passed away
today after she got run over
by a car in Sinsa.
Once again I'm really sorry.

Please,
you can't tell me that someone killed my precious daughter—
she— she's all I have in this house. . .
[sobbing intensifies]
Who— who did it?

I'm sorry, ma'am?

Who was the bastard
that killed my little girl?

Oh. . .

So? Who was it?! [cries]

She. . . did it herself.

[...]

Your daughter. . .
She threw herself off
from the small overpass and
down onto the main road.

That can't be true.
Chi wouldn't do that.
[heavy breathing]

I'm afraid it is ma'am.
There's a witness.

A— a witness?

[sighs]
Yes. A young man
watched your daughter
kill herself.
