Sometimes I want to die.

In two days my dad works 20 hours, rests 28 hours.

I study 27 hours 30 minutes, rest 20 hours 30 minutes.

I don't know why children have less free time than grownups.

I want to be free like a fish.

From a suicide note by a 6th grader.

SUNG june

KIM Kkob-bi KIM Kwon

CHO Sung-ha

When planets move, they sing a song,

but we can't hear it,

unless we are in a black hole.

Yujin Taylor What kind of name is that?

He was raised in America.

Where's the family?

They're in America and hard to reach.

- Well, let's try questioning his friends then. - Okay.

Sir, we just found this.

Come on

You were the last person to call Yujin.

I told you I lost my phone.

Where were you at 4 o'clock on the 25th?

At the dormitory.

Can you prove your alibi?

If I killed him,would I have left the phone there like an idiot?

Don't treat me like a criminal. Not heard of presumption of innocence?

Before conviction all suspects are innocent.

I'm a high school senior, and if this interferes with my grades, I'm suing.

This could ruin my life.

When is my son coming out?

How can you keep a child in there for so long.

June isn't a bad boy.

He isn't.

Please relax. We're just asking him some questions.

Then why is it taking so long?

Have you contacted dead boy's family?

They can't fly in right now, but want the ashes.

What? We're talking about a dead kid.

They agreed to the autopsy.

They haven't talked to the kid in a year.

You can't just come here like this.

A student just died.

We can't let one student's death affect everyone else.

Pardon?

Just deal with it quietly.

Don't make a fuss.

Eclipse of the Sun

This school's kind of creepy.

They say there used to be a torture chamber here.

- Torture chamber? - For the Korean Central Intelligence Agency

Only the top ten students come here.

Kind of a dream team.

What's this number?

His rank. They sit according to their grades.

We change seats whenever we have a test.

But Yujin was always top of the class.

A Report against Pluto's Demotion

Looks like june had an interest in science.

That's something june prepared for the university entrance exam.

But it's not enough.

It takes more than just being good at science.

- Hi. - Please come in.

Yujin?

He grew up in America so he was good at English.

We were friends.

It didn't seem like he got along with june.

I don't know june well.

But you're in the same class.

I usually spend my time here. I've only spoken to him a few times.

Well...

I lived abroad so I got along with Yujin.

I think june felt jealous of Yujin a lot.

Did he really kill Yujin?

- That seems like an overreaction. - Have you seen this photo before?

Do you think june killing Yujin had something to do with me?

Um, no, not really.

Charon By the way,

what's a Charon?

Am I keeping the future Albert Einstein against his will?

Your classmates said you were very jealous of Yujin.

Who said that?

Anyway, aren't you supposed

to let me go in 48 hours if there isn't any possibility of escape

- or destruction of evidence? - Hey, how dare you talk to us like that?

Take him out.

Get up.

Come on.

- Hey, put him in jail. - Yes sir.

Autopsy Report

How does he know all that?

Do you know when you're most intelligent in your life?

When?

High school senior year.

What's so great about that anyway.

Sir, there was a warning that

we shouldn't question the students in the special class anymore.

Looks like their parents know some people high up.

Rich people really get their way with everything.

By the way, we got a report that june was at the dormitory at the time.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

To all residents.

There will be a scheduled blasting, please retreat to a safe area.

5, 4, 3, Z, I, blast.

Tomorrow afternoon

for the first time under observation there will be a total eclipse of the sun.

It will start at 4:30 and the climax is at 5:20.

We're not expecting anyone, are we?

Did they let you go?

Why? ls something wrong about that?

No, not really.

Good for you.

Really?

Boram were you a study member too?

What have you done with your hair?

Isn't it a bit early for celebrating?

Congratulations

Why are you here?

Shouldn't we be having a funeral, instead of a party?

A funeral? You don't have the right to say that.

You're a murderer.

Hi.

You're my new roommate?

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

He really looks like a dork.

He's having cola with rice.

Shit.

When the tiny molecules in the ice cream meet with carbon dioxide

the volume expands and an explosion occurs.

Saying that the solar system has nine planets is not valid anymore.

Anyone know the reason?

Pluto was kicked out.

Now they call it planet number 134340.

And do you know why?

It's too far away from the sun and it has an unstable orbit.

Also, it's not round like the other planets, and it's mass is too small.

What a loser.

- Yujin is right. - That's wrong.

Pluto the ninth planet of the solar system...

june says he doesn't agree.

Why not? What's the reason?

Tell them.

The reason Pluto was kicked out is because of

the assumption that the Solar System is the centre of the universe.

What?

The reason Pluto was kicked out is because of

the assumption that the Solar System is the centre of the universe.

We have to consider if this assumption is correct.

If being too far away from the sun is a reason,

does it mean that if it comes closer its status is restored?

It's absurd to evaluate a star by its shape, size, mass, or distance from the sun.

Stars are born and die just like humans.

The Sun is old already. Nothing is forever.

That's interesting and all,

but the Sun will be around for another five billion years.

Even after you're dead. So why do you care?

If you really feel that mortified, stay alive till then and change the theory.

Theories don't matter if you die.

Science stands on its own no matter if we die or not.

Are you Pluto's spokesman or something?

Shut it.

Sujin, watch your mouth.

June? I'd like an essay on your thoughts. Okay?

- Okay - Who wants to be the science lab assistant?

I'll give you extra points.

- Me, me - Give a few points?

You have to handle frogs.

No one?

Okay, you do it.

They're in the special class.

What's that?

For students going to Seoul National University.

Kids with all A's get writing lessons there, till midnight.

They're really competitive. Trying not to be kicked out.

We don't get a writing teacher.

We just do it ourselves and study voluntarily.

I want to see you

Want to see more?

Yes

Today's topic..Trust Writing through experience

This is our topic for today.

This will be 30 points on the test so put some effort into it.

What's wrong? Doesn't it look fun?

People with the blindfolds

find someone you really trust. Okay?

We have to finish on time so get to work.

Come on, go, get to work.

One of you is a guide, and the other is blind.

Don't fool around it could be dangerous, got it?

Be careful.

We're at the stairs.

Take a big step.

One more.

Where are we?

Somewhere in school.

You...

You're like Charon.

What?

Pluto's satellite.

Do you like me?

Yes.

Really? How much?

I just can't stop thinking about you.

So don't hang out with that asshole.

Who?

My roommate! That thug.

Idiot.

It was you last night, wasn't it?

The internal ear is in charge of our balance.

What would happen if we destroyed it?

Let's find out. Look carefully at how the frog reacts.

Hello.

You're late.

What is it? Who did this?

Probably someone who can handle frogs.

I didn't like you using the same dormitory as us.

Who should pray first?

Maybe his best friend? Myungho.

Why should we take this shit from you?

Why, something wrong?

You're a suspect. You shouldn't be here.

Where should I be?

Probably...a prison?

What?

Well...a prison now

Satisfied?

You fucker!

You know what this is don't you?

Put it down.

How dare you tell us what to do... Huh?

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

Thank you

- Congratulations. I'm so proud. - Congratulations.

Boram! I heard you were a boy scout.

Tie them.

No! Why should I?

I'll let you go.

Should I leave some space between them?

Seoul Notional University - Bio Science Dept. HAN Myungho

Any news from Mira?

No, nothing. Something must be happened.

Jeongjae should be here by this time. I'm afraid something...

- Oh my god! Oh my god, my son! - Look! Oh my god.

- What about location tracking? - Maybe around the school.

Where's june?

His mother says he left home at dawn.

Your name is KIM june, right?

What were you thinking, talking about Yujin like that?

It's eleven now! Turn all lights off and go to bed.

After eleven you have to turn your lights off too.

The special class kids don't have to.

Seniors' Test Results

Yujin's number one again?

KIM june, 67th

This doesn't make sense.

Nothing does at this school.

I only got a few questions wrong but 67th...

Still, better than me.

Just give up. It's much easier that way.

Mira, you seem to have been pushed out.

KANG Miia, 11th KANG Changmin, 10th Special class

Fuck!

Sir, isn't number 2 the answer of question 14?

- Number 3 is wrong. - Isn't question 9 number 5?

Nothing's wrong. Look at the questions again. It's all there.

- I'm sure this isn't right. - Please, take another look at this.

How were you in the top one percent at your old school?

67th? It's simple.

If you want to be 1st, you have to kill 66 people.

You won't get in to Seoul National University

by collecting 100 of those s-shapes. It's just a myth.

How does it feel to be in the top ten?

It feels good.

Collecting those really won't work. Find a top class tutor.

Top class tutor?

You know those academy teachers. Those real successful tutors.

I haven't met one myself,

but two months with one of them will probably do the trick.

Probably really expensive though.

I heard getting their number isn't easy either.

Try asking Myungho.

Myungho?

Yeah. Do you want me to ask?

TEST RESULTS

You got 93 points and it's a C?

Oh my...

I want a tutor.

I heard there are famous tutors. They only cost one million won a month.

What?

You know we can't afford that.

Well you wanted me to go to a good university, and not live like you!

This is KO jiyeon,AC Life Insurance.

Hey lady. Did you take money out of my account.

Why didn't you tell me first?

Um, I'm quite sure that you wanted your insurance extended,

you signed up last time. I took you out for lunch.

Myungho's English pronunciation is so good.

He had some surgery when he was little. Under his tongue.

If he goes to Seoul University, I'll transfer him to Harvard.

You're really great, aren't you?

Nice to meet you.

- Hi, you called me earlier? - Yeah.

I work at an insurance company.

And this is one month's payment.

It's expensive but I heard you're really good so.

How did you get my number?

- You think this covers a whole month? - Yeah.

I charge this much for one consultation.

What?

Let's go.

How does it feel to be accepted by the best university

with expensive lessons?

Is it my fault that I have rich parents?

No, of course not.

How much does selling an insurance policy pay?

This is seven hours ago,

and now they've vanished.

I've gone through all the footage. They've just disappeared.

They didn't leave the building.

What are you going to major in? Astronomy?

Well, that is what I'm aiming for.

I'm going to work on computers.

I'll leave school and make a butt load of money.

Boy, don't you want to work with me?

What are you doing?

Hacking the special class's CCTV.

They have no idea we're watching them.

What's that?

- A special notebook. - Special notebook?

They analyse the questions between themselves.

They say there are anticipated questions for the next exam in there.

It's like a secret society between the top ten students.

Sometimes kids like Changmin get in,

but they always go back to where they came from.

Like a boomerang.

They think the world will end if they get kicked out of the group.

You will all be my slaves

Look at them. They're helpless.

University is for the non talented.

Who's this?

She was my roommate. SON Eunjoo.

- She killed herself last year. - What?

You were able to transfer because she died.

I'll be in their site as soon as I crack this code.

Something's suspicious about them.

I 45 days prior to Total Eclipse

-june. - Hi.

You're not going home?

Yeah, mytest results are terrible, so.

- Oh... see you later then. - Yeah.

- See you next week. - Bye.

TEST RESULTS

So this is why you didn't go home.

A+ in science. You must be a genius?

Your theory on Pluto,

It could be right.

It could be that someday Pluto will overlap the sun.

Maybe in a million years.

Pluto.

The god of death.

You know stars sing a song when they rotate.

But we can't hear it,

unless we fall into a black hole.

You have to die.

I want to see your special notebook.

Special notebook?

I saw you exchanging notebooks.

I want to be part of your group.

We don't just let anybody in our group.

Why not?

Because you have to be crazy.

You said you wanted to see the notebook?

Do you really want it?

If you enter our group, you can't get out.Alright?

June I've hidden a carrot somewhere..

Find it in one minute.

I, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

Too slow! Run! Faster!

Give me one more chance.

Do you want to hear Pluto sing?

You could die.

Do it.

Don't forget. We're a secret.

You should work on your math, that thing we talked about okay?

And you, lesson four. Got it?

Hello? Subin?Yeah? I'll check my account and call you back.

No, you've got something wrong.

Please, I really don't know. I've never seen that bag before.

I didn't attack anyone.

KANG Miia, 9th Special class PARK jeongjae, 10th Special class

Mira, good for you

Does it bother you? Me getting better grades than you?

KIM june, I 7th

You've improved. Congratulations.

Yeah, thanks.

Hey isn't 4 the answer to question 9 on literature?

I got that one wrong too.

Read the question carefully. 3 is the answer. There are two traps.

Teachers just love setting up traps.

- Hello. - Yeah, hi kids.

He's only a part-time teacher anyway.

Don't get too cocky.

It's harder to maintain your scores.

Are you kidding?

Go back to class.

Go on, back to class!

What? I'm calling the police.

Don't.

- This is a serious offence. - Final exams are coming up.

With the timing and all, let's just let it slide.

You know your evaluation is coming up soon?

Go back to class! Come on!

I bet no one makes nitroglycerine better than me?

Myungho, how does it feel to be number one?

Wasn't it your dream? Seoul National University bio science major?

Imagining a useless shit like you being a scientist really is terrifying.

It's still better than being a terrorist like you.

Well.

I can send you all to hell right now.

Wait, wait, wait. Don't do it, please. Please...

Don't do it, please. Please...

Tomorrow test day. Put diarrhoea powder in 3rd floor water-cooler.

You remember when that dead girl's picture showed up?

I found out who did it.

Myungho hired a hacker to find out who did it.

Who was it?

Sujin. That crazy bitch.

We have to do something.

What are your plans?

First, we'll find her weak spot, and blackmail her.

Isn't that what we do?

Yujin. You seem distracted.

As our leader you should show some more interest.

It's a fucked up idea. Think of something else.

Why did you want me to come? Do you have something to say?

I want to confess.

I like you.

I feel a bit uncomfortable, you know.

Going in to second base, now. one, two, three come on!

Pull down her underwear, just a little bit more.

Come on, do it! What are you doing?

What?

Stop.

I said stop!

There's... There's something wrong with you.

Video Delete

What are you're doing?

Let's not do this anymore.

So we do nothing to Sujin?

I didn't know you had an interest in science?

But the portfolio evaluation trend has changed.

They're making you do what they did to her.

I hacked their site.

You know Changmin? He was a member too.

And when he got in the top ten with better grades than Mira,

they screwed him using you.

If you get in the top ten, they'll do what they did to Changmin to you.

This is the book my roommate studied, when she went to an academy.

Compare it with your special notebook.

Reference Book by SEIN ACADEMY

What's up?

So, Changmin was a member?

Are you going to screw me over too?

Where's the real special notebook?

Are you kidding me with this fake?

Who gave you this?

What?

Why did you call me?

You son of a bitch! You gave me a fake?

Well, anyway your grades improved.

Even that fake's more than you deserve.

Wake up.

You think we just give out these to anyone?

Oh yeah,june,You know your portfolio. Miss KIM gave it to me.

To use as a reference.

Coward.

What about you, aren't you a coward?

Aren't we supposed to share information?

And why haven't you updated recently?

Because I'm not in the same situation as you.

You got a chance at the Seoul University priority selection.

Well, I heard your mother visits the principal's office a lot these days.

It should be a piece of cake for you to take my place.

June, how's your portfolio coming on?

Do you wont me to go with you for the submission?

No, it's okay. I can handle it.

Seoul National University Application form. - Alright then.

Love you june.

O kay.

Come home for the weekends. I'll make you a tasty meal.

- Yeah. - Bye.

Have you heard about "Rabbit Hunting"? Reveal their evil deeds one by one.

Okay, okay, okay.

Why did you take this without my permission?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Whose blood is this?

Don't know.

If you touch my things again, I'll break you.

What floor?

You said this used to be a K-CIA building, right?

Yeah, a torture chamber.

Doesn't it seem strange, that the kids just disappeared?

Um, what are you doing?

Huh? Here! We're here!

What's this? There's really a torture chamber here?

It's locked.

Huh?

Hey, you.

Finally, you found us.

Come out.

It's the weekend aren't you going home?

I hate this house.

Where's your family?

My dad's in America.

Why did you come to Korea?

Because I tried to kill the son of a bitch.

When I was fifteen

he would beat me whenever my grades dropped.

One time he beat me with a leather belt.

I had to drag my body back to my room.

That night, I went to his room with a gun.

I almost went through with it.

I'm going to get into the best university, just as he wanted.

And then I'm going to drop out.

Rabbit Hunting

You asked me why our group is called 'Rabbit Hunting'?

I filmed this.

Rabbit's are fast up hill, but they're slow down hill.

When you're hunting rabbits you have to chase them down hill.

If you drink rabbit's blood you'll get good grades.

Why don't we go and catch some rabbits?

Drink it. Drink it..

- As soon as you drink it - Drink it!

- Drink it - Oh, come on, come drink it!

That girl, Eunjoo.

It's my fault she died.

What you almost did to Sujin, I did to her.

When, we said we would upload the file on the internet,

she killed herself the next day.

Why did you do it?

She was on top,

and I was afraid of my plan being interfered with.

It started out as a joke,

but in the end I wanted to break her.

I had no idea she would commit suicide.

Were you close?

Did you know?

Pluto and Charon can never face each other.

There's no such thing as friends.

And there never will.

Friends are for humans, right?

How about you?

- Yujin, drink it. - Drink, drink, drink...

Drink it!

Do you know what this is?

It's what Sujin left behind.

I'll give you powerless grownups a present.

What is it that you want?

The death of the murderer.

And who might that be?

From Myungho: Check your locker

Why are you doing this? Weren't you friends?

Friends? What's that then?

Don't be scared.

I'll give you one last chance,

because you will be the top one percent of Korea.

We'll do whatever it takes. Let's put an end to this.

Whatever it takes?

Yeah.

Bring me the 1st reserve student for Seoul National University's bio science major.

What?

Bring me the person who didn't pass because of Myungho!

I'll ask him.

If I should let Myungho live or not.

There isn't much time. You'd better be fast.

The eclipse is almost here.

When the eclipse happens you'll see the best fireworks in the world.

Hey wait.

My precious son!

This is because of your son. My son hasn't done anything.

Please let him go.

What are you saying? That my son deserves to die?

Find the first reserve student, quick!

You bitch! You should've raised your son better!

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- LEE Deahyung! - Yes?

- You're LEE Deahyung? - Yes.

This is him. He failed by just O.2 points.

He said he would take the call.

June.We got him on the line. Catch.

Nice to meet you first reserve student.

You know the situation, right? Here he is.

Hello?

If you want money, I'll give you money.

If you want to study abroad. I'll make it happen.

Huh?

Please just let me go.

I worked so fucking hard to be accepted.

Please.

I have to kill that son of a bitch.

Please.

Hey, No! No! You don't think I can find out where he lives?

I'm going to kill him. I'll kill him!

We should start the celebration now.

June!

June! June! June!

- Hey! - June! June!

June! june! june! Stop june, Please!

Please june, I beg you. I'm sorry for everything.

Stop june, Please! june! june! june!

I'm sorry, come out please,june!

June! June!

So stupid...

This isn't the right way to do things. I'll help you.

I don't need anybody's help, as usual.

It's still not too late.

Do you know that feeling?

Losing every time you race?

How it feels, looking at the back of the kid in front of you, every single day.

I'm only nineteen,

why, why do I have to live like this? Huh?

Why...

have dreams? Try your best?

Fuck that. I'm going to end it all, right now.

I have a son your age. Don't do this.

If you do this, your mother has to live as a murderer's mother.

Even if I stop nothing changes.

Please stop.

- Before it's too late. - Get out before it's too late.

If you get out in one minute, I'll let him go.

Sir. Please let me go.

Get out before I change my mind.

And just leave the rest of you here?

Do you want to die too?

Please mister. You know I'm innocent.

- I'll open the gate, get in the elevator. - I want to live. Please.

Sir, let's go.

June! Please, help! Put it out!

Help!

Let me go!

Stop that! Please move back.

Stop that june! june! june!

Sorry Please step back a little!

Myungho! No! Where's my son!

What about june?

This is for your pimples, take it with some water.

Sorry for going before you-
