Study Group (2025) s01e07 Episode Script

1
By chance, does any of you
want to become a gangster in the future?
I'm sure you don't.
Of course,
a few ended up on the wrong path.
But as if our school
is a gangster training ground,
Someone placed a petition with the Education Office.
What the hell?
This not only hurts
school's public image seriously,
but we'll soon be under inspection, too.
Sadly, this could result in the school closing.
Don't you agree, Ms. Lee Han Gyeong?
What do you think?
Would you like to come up and say a word?
Our students are being accused of
attending a gangster training school now.
Don't you think apologizing to them
would be the least you could do as an educator?
Go on.
Hurry up.
Let's be done with this!
Hurry up!
- Go up!
- Go!
Go up there!
Our school
is not in a normal state right now.
- It's not normal?
- What's she saying?
I was assigned to this school only recently,
but I've known about it for a long time.
Through my teacher,
the late Ms. Oh Jeong Hwa.
What?
[A year ago]
Looks like you aren't busy.
I have time to celebrate your birthday.
Can you pass the Certification Exam like that?
Of course, I can.
Of course?
- Of course?
- What?
- Wow.
- What?
- What? What? What?
- Lee Han Gyeong.
"Of course," you said?
Seriously.
Why do you still have that?
Delete it.
Gosh, seriously.
Isn't it amazing how much people can change?
Seeing you cheer me up, though.
It's hard, isn't it?
It's just that
kids aren't on the same page as me.
I told you
not to choose a school like that.
But it will change because you're there.
Just like I did.
Focus on yourself, okay?
Don't call me again if you fail the exam.
Got it.
I will give that a thought, too.
What?
Here's to Lee Han Gyeong passing the exam.
In an alleyway in Dong-gu, Ancheon,
a woman in her 40s was stabbed to death.
The police are investigating this
as a case of random assault.
I will turn
this school back to normal.
- Ms. Lee.
- I've been trying to
change the ones who tried to destroy the school,
but now,
I'll protect the ones who are hurting from them.
Regardless of who my opponent will be.
What?
Getting hit hurts, doesn't it?
You're just a person, too.
So, stop acting so cocky.

[Study Group]
Geez!
Wasn't that incredible?
He punched Pi Han Ul.
Hey, hey, hey.
You think he's your friend?
You'll get fed, you idiot.
No one heard me.
Everyone was saying his name in the auditorium.
Yun Ga Min sure is a monster, isn't he?
How did he punch Pi Han Ul?
Hey, how can you read the vocabulary right now?
We're about to get fired from backup fighters now.
Is that so important?
We'll just get fired, then.
Really?
How will you make money, then?
Fighting is the only thing we know.
How will we make money?
You just want to make easy money, isn't it?
What the f do you know?
What do I not know?
That you sold the reward car and lost it gambling?
You fer!
Are you innocent? Even your grandpa-
Hey.
What about my grandpa?
F!
Will you let him keep acting out?
Bang.
I suppose you're frustrated, too.
You can't stand out at school because of your dad.
I noticed they were similar.
She was her student.
I know.
It's really interesting.
What will you do?
She said she'll protect.
Let her try if she can.
Yes, Ahjussi.
I've been thinking a bit.
How does Sun Cheol sound for that?
[Sejin University Hospital]
So, have you become a great man yet?
You're talking about that again.
You asked me yesterday, too.
How can anyone become great in a day, Grandpa?
I'm impatient because I'm about to die, punk.
I'll die in peace if I saw my grandson
become a great man.
I should become great slowly so you live longer.
You bastard.
So, stop saying you'll die.
You aren't even interested in dying.
That's why I'm studying for TOEIC, too.
The moment a person stops learning,
their life stops, too.
Yes.
You've been paying on time. What happened?
I'm sorry.
If you give me a bit more time, I'll try to-
I understand it's getting difficult.
It's a lot of money for a high school student.
I can try something this time,
but I can't delay it any longer. You know, right?
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What's with you?
Hey.
I wondered why you went after Pi Han Ul.
I see what happened now.
I'm sorry about that.
I didn't understand the situation.
It's okay.
Is your mother doing okay?
Yes, she can be discharged soon.
That's good to hear.
By the way,
why do you listen to Pi Han Ul?
I know you want to study, too.
[Index Card]
What would change if I studied?
Pardon?
Well,
- you'll go to college.
- Then what?
If I go to college, I'll graduate.
If I graduate, I'll find a good job.
But I can join YB Construction
if I just stay near Pi Han Ul.
It's a reputable corporation.
I'm in 12th grade.
Studying now won't change anything.
[Dae Cheol]
Yes, Dae Cheol.
Hide somewhere right now.
Those assholes are here.
- The trainer?
- Yes, it's me.
[Chae Seon Ho / Yeonbaek Gang / Fighter trainer]
[Kim Jae Seung / Yeonbaek Gang / Fighter trainer]
Sun Cheol, long time no see.
- Hello.
- Hey.
Wow.
You look great.
We need to go somewhere together.
R-Right now?
Why? Are you busy?
No.
Where are you going?
What's this now?
What's your name?
Me?
- I'm Yun-
- Go away, you idiot.
Are you fing crazy?
I think he's in 10th grade.
I don't know him.
Really?
What an interesting kid.
Let's go now.
Let's go.
Won't you study?
The midterm is coming up.
He's saying something to you.
He's not right in the head.
I knew it. Just look at him.
Sun Cheol, you have a lot to do today.
It will be a long night.
[Grandpa]
All done.
So, how many answers did I get wrong?
Four
I only got four wrong?
No.
You got everything wrong but four.
But this is very impressive.
I can't even solve one of these questions.
I got three right yesterday.
I got one more right. Here.
Why do you study for TOEIC?
What do you mean?
Because
TOEIC is for getting a job.
So, you mean,
why am I doing this when I'm about to die?
No, no.
That's not what I meant.
- It's fun.
- Pardon?
I'm becoming a better person than I was yesterday.
How could I not do something this fun?
Hey.
If you meet Sun Cheol,
teach him how fun it is to study, okay?
I think you could do it.
Last evening, near the Ancheon Port,
a man in his 40s was found dead from a stabbing.
The police used the CCTV
to determine that the suspect is
an 18-year-old high school student, Kim,
and they are searching for him.
Isn't that obviously our school uniform?
But to kill someone?
By the way, I think I've seen him before.
Isn't this Kim Sun Cheol, the blonde?
- Kim Sun Cheol?
- Yeah.
- Pi Han Ul's underling, Kim Sun Cheol?
- Yes.
You're right.
Right? Look, Yun Ga Min.
- Is it him?
- Look. He's blonde.
- Yun Ga Min.
- It has to be him.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
But don't you think it's him?
Yes, he's the blonde.
Yun Ga Min,
you met Kim Sun Cheol last night, right?
- Yes.
- What?
So, you suggested he study with you,
but he left the hospital with
a Yeonbaek Gang member?
Yes.
And that was around 10:45 p.m.?
Yes.
And? Anything else?
Sun Cheol, you have a lot to do today.
It will be a long night.
No, there was nothing else.
Is that so?
Okay.
By the way
Yes.
Do you
really think Sun Cheol is the murderer?
He's the top suspect right now.
I mean,
do you really believe that, too?
Hey, this isn't about what I believe.
I'm just saying that's how it seems.
[Yuseong Technical High School]
Are you still thinking about that?
By the way,
do you think Sun Cheol could have done that?
He's a backup fighter.
He's close to Pi Han Ul, too.
- But still.
- Why?
Do you think he didn't?
What are we discussing this early?
Hee Won and I investigated the Kim Sun Cheol case.
That's what this is about?
Why are you doing this now?
Who cares what a thug has been up to?
Right.
Ta-da.
If you look at this graph,
since Pi Han Ul joined the school last year,
murders committed by high schoolers
in Ancheon skyrocketed.
It's clearly much higher than in other regions.
Was this neighborhood cursed?
But to say that,
the overall crime rate isn't higher than others.
What does that mean? Help me understand.
The overall crime rate is the same,
but only the juvenile crime rate went up
which means the adult crime rate went down
and the juvenile crime rate is going up.
Another words,
high school students are used in adult crimes.
Don't you think that could be the case?
They use high schoolers?
Why?
What makes us better than the gangsters?
- Our looks?
- Bingo.
Hee Won.
Sorry. I thought he was right, too.
Okay.
Age?
Bingo.
When did you get here, Four-eyed Psycho?
I just got the chills.
That's right.
We're protected by the
juvenile law because we're minors.
A first-time offender and a minor?
You'd be on parole in a few years.
Seriously.
You only get a few years after killing someone?
What? Are you guys acting?
I thought you'd ask that.
But still. Would anyone go to prison for someone?
What if you serve just three years,
join the Yeonbaek Family, and the YB Construction?
Whoa, sweet.
Sweet, my foot.
Okay, you have a point, but
where's the evidence that the thug isn't the murderer?
Well
There isn't any.
I need your help.
Huh? You're Sun Cheol's friend?
Sun Cheol isn't the culprit.
Give me a break, you fer.
- Hey, Dae Cheol.
- Yes.
You're still talking bulls.
You need to be trained more.
You don't mean studying, do you?
What's this crazy bastard saying?
Right.
Aren't you the ugly psycho from the hospital?
I'm not.
Look at you, bastard.
Hey.
What are you looking at me like that for?
Just be on your way.
These fers are acting up together.
You asked for this, okay?
You petty bastard.
A metal pipe? A metal ball
What happened?
I saw it clearly.
Chu Seong Wung
was cleaning a bloody knife.
Actually,
it's an open secret among the backup fighters
When a top Yeonbaek Gang kills someone,
a backup fighter serves time instead.
You believe what he said?
I always believe Ga Min, but
I also think that's a bit
Wake up, you naive bastard.
Those thugs are using you.
Well, is that so?
But Sun Cheol's
eyes definitely said he wanted to study.
We should believe it, then.
Yes.
I will, too.
That silly eye talk
Of course, I believe it, too.
I believed Sun Cheon hyung from the beginning.
Since when you called him, "Hyung"?
You always called him "Kim Sun Cheol."
- I'm not like you.
- Hey.
You're all grown up now, huh?
By the way, what are we
supposed to do now?
By the way, that knife
He wouldn't have washed it if he meant to toss it.
[YB Group Talent Training Center]
Just find the murderer's knife from there, right?
Stay very alert.
Be careful.
Thank you.
Looks like Seo Yu Bi didn't learn the lesson yet.
Teach her a lesson when you see her.
HQ. HQ.
Can you hear me? Over.
Give me a break.
Hey!
This is the HQ. This is the HQ.
I can hear well. Over.
We won't get caught at the entrance, right?
There are tons of backup fighters.
They don't know their faces.
Yes, don't worry.
We'll call the police if it seems dangerous.
Shall we?
Name.
Guk Gwan Wu from Heukchang High.
I'm Jang Bi Hwan!
I'm Seo Yu Bi
sir.
I've never seen you before.
Guk Gwan Wu. Jang Bi Hwan. Seo Yu Bi.
Oh, Heukchang High?
Okay. Go in.
Thank you.
Yay!
Kim Se Hyeon, you say they don't know their faces?
Sorry.
What a relief.
I got so scared thinking we'd get caught.
We got scared for nothing. Stupid bastards.
Was there a girl among the backup fighters?
Probably.
Hold on! Stop!
Geez, we're screwed.
What?
The one with glasses.
- Yes?
- Your name is Guk Gwan Wu?
Yes.
Did we get caught?
I told you to take the glasses off.
Are you at an academy or something?
Why did you bring the backpack?
Get it together.
I was going to say that, too.
Go inside, you bastard.
Okay.
Gosh.
Sorry.
It's the midterms.
Is something going on today?
Why?
Are we screwed?
[YB Group Talent Training Center]
Wasn't there a backup fighters' meeting soon?
Right.
There's no way that's today.
Guk Gwan Wu and Jang Bi Hwan. Those bastards.
Huh? This sounds too risky.
- Let's just leave.
- Yes, it's too dangerous.
No, we're already here.
Let's look quickly and leave.
- Sounds good.
- I don't want to come back.
Well, but
Hee Won, can we check the left side, too?
Of course.
Looks like someone's there.
Yes.
Pi Han Ul and Chu Seong Wung on the fourth floor.
They're together.
Pi Han Ul? Why is that bastard here?
Let's wait a moment for now.
The knife is probably in there.
Wait until they leave.
We're on the fourth floor. Over.
They're moving.
Get ready.
Here they come. Here they come.
Once they take the elevator downstairs
Huh?
What? What? What?
Shit.
- What?
- What?
Why are they coming here?
Why come here instead of taking the elevator?
What?
Sun Cheol will turn himself in after the meeting.
Just so you know.
Yes, sir.
Fix the elevator quickly.
I'm sorry.
What?
I heard the door shutting near the rooftop.
No one's on the rooftop at this hour.
Hurry up.
I'll check just in case and meet you there.
It's the second floor, not the rooftop, you idiot.
We'll go upstairs as soon as
they get to the first floor.
Okay?
Shit. What was that?
Shit.
Yun Ga Min, where are you now?
[Rooftop Entrance]
Huh?
Geez, is it locked?
[Yeonbaek - Deputy Kim Sun Cheol]
Hey, hey.
Wow.
Sun Cheol.
Sun Cheol joined our family.
This is to save your face.
Use it for your grandpa's hospital cost, right?
You should congratulate him
instead of being jealous, right?
What's Ga Min doing there?
Yun Ga Min, do something.
Well, the door just won't open.
Gosh, I think you need to go in now.
Why did you go up there and not follow us?
Sorry.
Don't worry, guys.
I can do Ga Min's part, too.
Shit. You've got to be kidding me.
We have no choice-
Huh?
Hold on.
What is it now?
The bastards with a backpack just now.
They're Guk Gwan Wu, Jang Bi Hwan, and Seo Yu Bi?
Yes. Why do you ask?
Didn't she go in alone earlier?
Seo Yu Bi.
What's going on today?
Why the f would he show up now?
Don't worry, Ji Wu.
You know what I'd say, right?
I'll forgive you for acting cool today.
Hang in there as much as possible.
Don't worry, I said.
Lee Ji Wu.
Be careful, Jun.
You're surprised to see me.
And you're wearing our school uniform.
You pretended to be No. 1 last time.
Pretending to be a backup fighter now?
You're so fing quick.
You didn't learn your lesson after getting crushed?
Shit.
You can't say that when I fought three people.
And you should've learned your lesson, not me.
Are you crazy, Strawberry Head?
I feel like doing you a favor today.
I'll turn you into that thing.
What was it called?
Yes, yes.
Go, go! New person!
- Hey.
- Gosh. What?
- Look at that.
- What?
- Over there.
- What?
That.
Detective Na Tae Man is here.
Hurry up before he arrests Sun Cheol.
F!
Did you find it, Lee Ji Wu?
Shit. No, not yet.
I found it.
Did you find it?
Get out of there then.
Yes, Ji Wu. Hurry.
Shit.
Lee Ji Wu. Lee Ji Wu.
Ji Wu, why are you suddenly silent?
Is it a girl?
You're a cutie.
I killed a man.
What's this now?
