When I ran over,

he wasn't there.

He…

was nowhere.

He was never there…

to begin with.

DECEMBER 1994, SEOUL

Their story

had already begun a long time ago
in this town that seemed peaceful.

The child didn't receive any presents
again last Christmas,

but she thought it was because she shed
some tears while yawning.

All done.

She believed in Santa Claus.

Here's her father.

No one thought lowly of him
besides himself,

but he never realized that,
so he drank every day.

That's 800 won.

That's 2,000 won.

They don't look good.

I'll only take the soy sauce.

Here's the child's mother.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew

what she was going through.

But the mother had to put
something else before her pride.

SANGJI GROCERY

Hey, you! You'd better stop right there!

My name is Kang Da-jeong.

I heard you're giving out food.

Like bread.

Books are much more valuable than bread.

They can satisfy your spiritual hunger.

God will save us through His words.

No way.

-Da-jeong, what about the bread?
-It was a lie.

Why didn't Santa Claus come to our house?

He did. He came, but he spat…

He suddenly had to use the bathroom,
so he went to take a dump.

He really needed to go.

I see.

Let's hurry back.

Da-jeong, why is your face red?

What are you talking about? Be quiet.

Da-jeong, your face is bleeding.

Do you want your nose to bleed?

Mom.

The mermaid turned into bubbles.
What does that mean?

THE LITTLE MERMAID

A princess who has the world at her feet
falls for some guy she barely knows.

So she ditches her family and goes away.

But after going through so much hardship,
she ends up…

She ends up dying.

I want another book.

THE HAPPY PRINCE

The bird really digs out the prince's
left eyeball and gives it to a beggar.

The next day, it digs out the other
eyeball and gives it to another beggar.

And the bird lies on the cold ground
with its belly exposed

and dies.

SNOW WHITE

She's just so happy to receive the apple
and eats it right away.

So she dies.

But the dwarfs weep
because they don't want her to die.

THE FAIRY AND THE WOODCUTTER

A stupid fairy takes off her clothes
and scrubs her body in another town.

And some thief steals her clothes
and cuts a deal with her.

THE BLACK CAT

An alcoholic jerk kills his wife.

He puts her body in the wall
and covers it up with cement.

So no one knows about it.

But a black cat that was also put
in the wall with her body

meows when the police come.

So the jerk gets arrested.

I see.

The child read The Black Cat
over and over again.

Because out of all the stories
she could find in her world,

it was the most reassuring.

Please stop it!

Why must I live like this? Why?

It's all because of you.

My life was ruined
because I ended up with a woman like you!

I didn't make you stay!

Just leave! Please!

Damn it.

What? You want me to leave?

Is that it?

-After I put up with a stupid woman
-I bought tangerines, kids!

-like you?
-Dad!

-Please…
-Come here!

Damn it. Hey!

How come those darned kids
don't come out to greet their father?

-Please don't…
-Damn it. Come out!

-Please.
-Hey!

Don't you lay a finger on them,

-or I'll kill you.
-Fine.

You already ruined my life anyway.

Kill me.

Just kill me!

Da-jeong.

Her younger brother
didn't know how to read,

and she had a knack
for reinterpreting the stories.

So in their room, the plot
of The Black Cat changed every night.

Once upon a time, there was a girl.

It turned out that
her father wasn't her real father.

The man next door was her real father.

So they lived happily ever after.

The end.

Once upon a time, there was a girl.

The next-door neighbors turned out
to be her real family.

So she lived happily ever after with them.

The end.

Read me another story.

A story with a prince.

Do you know what happens to you

if you like princes or princesses?

You'll turn into bubbles,
get pricked by a needle,

or get poisoned to death.

Your eyeballs will be dug out
and your clothes stolen.

THE LITTLE MERMAID

You're lying.

That's what Mom said.

UNDERSTANDING CLASSICAL LITERATURE

LITERARY AESTHETICS

Turning into bubbles means…

LITERATURE, DIALECTICS OF SYMBOLS

…that she chooses to dissipate

after her arduous attempt
to make things better.

Nothing comes free in life.

LITTLE LOVE TWINKLES IN MY HEART

You give them a leg,
and they take your tongue.

But in life…

I'll take the photo now.

One, two, three.

TO MY NATASHA, MI-RAN
FROM CHAN

"Natasha, the White Donkey, and Me."

By Baek Seok.

"Tonight the snow falls endlessly

because I, a poor man,

love the beautiful Natasha."

In life,

there are some things you can't say no to
despite your better judgment.

GRADUATION

They are dazzling, bright,
and make you so happy

that you'd do anything
if you could have them.

When these things bewitch you,

you willingly give yourself up to them.

Even when you get your hands on a knife,

the only thing you can stab is
your own foot.

Like any other young and delicate being,

the child had dreams
and looked for things to depend on.

The difference was that she didn't want
to be a princess,

but dreamed of being
her neighbor's daughter.

And she wasn't waiting
for Prince Charming to rescue her,

but for a black cat who would meow for her
in the scariest moment of her life.

Da-jeong. Get up and get dressed now.

Mom.

-But the man next door…
-Quiet.

The child thought
that she had run far away

from her unfortunate seven-year-old self.

However…

DECEMBER 2020, SEOUL

Yes. I'm on my way there. After getting
off the bus, do I turn right?

In the direction I came from?

EPISODE 1

I see.

In the direction the bus was going?

I know. I was just checking.

What are you talking about?
My nickname is Kang GPS.

GUGU BUILDING
2ND AND 3RD FLOORS FOR RENT

You have the worst sense of direction.

How can you get lost there?
How do you even go to work?

I didn't get lost.

I was just looking around
my new neighborhood.

Are you really moving in here?

I'm signing the contract today.

Why? You don't want me to?

I like that it's a new building.

I'm going to start afresh
with a clean slate.

You know I got mixed up with some weirdos.

Just weirdos?

You ought to be in the Olympics.
You'd win a gold in collecting trash.

Don't exaggerate now.

What?

An alcoholic, a two-timer,

a pathological liar, and a bum
who asked his girlfriend for money.

That was a long time ago.

That was this year.

I think only good things will happen here.
You know my hunches are right.

No, your hunches are usually wrong.

This is nice.

Hey, cover yourself.
Today's rainwater is dirty.

It's the smell of a new start!

I'm in Pungji-dong
where the murder took place.

The building was recently renovated,

and some tenants were scheduled
to move in starting today.

The entire building was empty
at the estimated time of the murder.

The police began investigating

using the security and dashcam footage
from around the building.

Generally speaking, an abandoned body
means the culprit was flustered.

But in this case, it's the contrary.

By abandoning the body,
the killer took it further.

After getting the answer they wanted
by choking the victim,

the culprit pretended
to release their hold,

stabbed the victim in the back,

then left the body for everyone to see.

JU YOUNG-DO, PSYCHIATRIST

IS IT POSSIBLE
THE CULPRIT IS MENTALLY ILL?

That's a difficult question to answer.

Being mentally ill doesn't make one
prone to commit more crimes.

Lacking MAO genes
or growing up in an abusive environment

doesn't cause antisocial behaviors either.

Mental illnesses
and childhood environments

can only be factors
for a small minority of criminals.

So it could be a discriminatory notion.

JU YOUNG-DO, PSYCHIATRIST
SO IT COULD BE A DISCRIMINATORY NOTION

VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 3
KO JIN-BOK

MURDER OF LEE JEONG-BEOM
IN PUNGJI-DONG, 2018

My goodness. What the…
Why would you blow into my ear?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Why?

You're not a cop, but you come here
and sit in my chair whenever you want.

And you're reading the same case report
for the 3,000th time.

People might think that you're cuckoo,
but you're a doctor who treats cuckoos.

That's why.

I told you that the patients I treat
aren't crazy. They're just sick.

Real cuckoos end up here.

Say hello, Detective Park.

This is our rookie.

Hello. I'm Park Ho.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ju Young-do.

He's our consultant. He's somewhat useful.

Why are you reading it again?

If I found anything,
I would have called you.

I understand that you want to do something
for your heart donor,

but I was his senior officer.

And I couldn't even catch his killer.

What is it this time?

That's a strong heart.

Jeong-beom's heart

is still beating.

Your food is here.

I'll get going.

Leave already?
Have some food before you go.

-I need to go and pack.
-Are you going somewhere?

My clinic is relocating to the third floor

of Gugu Building
where the murder happened.

That's our district. Is it around it?

I told you, it's that building.

2ND FLOOR FOR RENT

JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC

You're arriving today, right?

Pardon?

Yes. I am.

Name?

Ju Young-do.

Elderly, right?

I'm not that old.

Wait.

Who are you? You're so rude.

I'll talk to the hotel in Busan.

But the elderly tend to prefer
the floor heating system,

so I'm not sure if I can get it changed.

I want jjamppong.

-Come upstairs.
-Where?

What are you doing here?

Jjajangmyeon or jjamppong?

-It was you?
-It wasn't me.

What are you talking about?

Whatever. I want to be alone.

I was about to go upstairs.

So which one is it?

Me too.

What?

I want jjamppong, too.

It looks so good.

You've never met, right?

He used to be my private tutor.
And she's my friend.

She's not your friend. She's my friend.

-I'm Kang Da-jeong.
-I'm Ju Young-do.

Right. I know.
I also know you're not that old.

Right.

You spilled coffee beans this morning
and food now.

What are you going to spill
in the evening? Get a grip, will you?

Just because we were conceived
on the same day, which I never asked for,

we've had to split everything
in half since birth.

Not even a spoonful.

Fine.

You can gobble up
all of the carbs and salt.

That's enough.
We have instant sauce. Wait.

-Clean that up!
-Okay.

We need more tissues.

Okay.

-Hold on.
-Okay.

A concierge manager, right?

Yes.

Isn't it so cool?
He's really good at this.

He can guess everything.

Well, he heard my call earlier.
He must've figured out I work at a hotel.

Come on. He can do more than that.

Right. Young-do, do that thing.

Same thing.

What else can you do? Give me an example.

Never mind.

-What is it?
-I'll pretend I didn't see it.

See what?

Everyone has stories they want to hide
and things they don't want to hear,

even if it's true.

So telling the truth
can be a form of assault.

What do I want to hide?

It's okay. Everyone is like that.

Why don't you just tell me?
I'm curious now.

Right. I want to find out
why you only choose to date trash

and why you're turning down a decent man
when he wants to date you.

It's high time we found it out.

That's what he can figure out?

Totally.

It may be uneasy
to listen to the innermost truth

in front of other people,
especially for someone like Ms. Kang.

Maybe you spilled the beans
without even realizing it,

and he impressed you with it.

"You had a persimmon tree in the town
where you grew up

and a relative passed away
when you were young, right?"

I bet that's how he got you.

I'm pretty sure that's all fraud.

A legless bird, a trash magnet,
a black cat, and a red foxtail.

What is that? Some kind of password?

A legless bird.

You're scared of settling down.

You fear relationships
that require emotional commitment.

Why? You've been burned a lot.

You read the ending
of mystery novels first

and don't even watch a new TV show
unless you know it has a happy ending.

But I moved here to settle down.

You always start with that.

"I'm really starting anew.
It's different this time."

But in reality,
you're still a trash magnet.

Bad men constantly come into your life

when in fact,
you're the one attracting them.

Are you telling me
that I enjoy being abused?

After recreating the exact same misery
you underwent,

you try to overcome it this time around.

You're trying to escape
your miserable memories.

If your life was miserable
because of an alcoholic,

you date another alcoholic,
so you can help him quit drinking.

But it doesn't work. Why?

You can recreate your misery,

but you've never learned how
to overcome it.

Then, what's the memory
you want to escape so badly

that causes repetition compulsion?

The black cat.

You put the poster up in a place more
visible to others than yourself.

It means that the person you are looking
for or want is someone like a black cat.

In Poe's story, the cat comes back to life
even when it's killed,

and helps catch the killer by meowing
even after getting buried.

Your decision to hang a poster
other people find creepy

tells me that you identify with the victim
at a very high degree.

When you were young,
I think someone in your family…

Hey.

I'm sorry.
If I offended you, I will apologize.

Hey.

This is why I didn't…

But I'm curious about the red foxtail.

-Hey.
-Foxes aren't your animal.

He might be wrong about that.
Let's hear it.

He's been right so far, though.

Hey.

Leave family out of it.

What makes the red foxtail more charming
is that it is clearly a flower,

but it doesn't seem like it's showing off.

She probably doesn't like things
like flowers that are visibly pretty.

I think when she was young…

Without mentioning her family,

I'll get to the point.

You know that you're pretty, Ms. Kang.

What was that?

Was that your way of telling her
how you feel about her?

Hey, it's Kang Da-jeong!

Hey, it's my stalker.

Why do I have to introduce you two…

This is a man who's been chasing me
for over two months

when he doesn't even know me that well.

This is a man who assaulted me
when we just met today.

-I did?
-You said telling the truth

is also a form of assault.

Well, what do you say?

Since there are three of us,
should we play some cards?

Let's play next time.

I came here today
because I have something to tell you.

I'll leave you to it.

JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC

He's on the third floor?
He's a psychiatrist?

A doctor ought to alleviate people's pain,

but he rubs salt in the wound instead.

Are you going somewhere?

Or do you just want to walk with me?

-Or…
-I'm trying to ditch you.

It's a great day for a walk, right?

The air's quite clean today.

Right. You can clean out your nostrils.
Good for you.

You really won't take this?

Don't waste it on me.

This flower means--

"I'll die in a week." That's probably it.

Gosh. No way.

What's your problem?

Why do you keep doing this?

Because I'm not joking around.
I'm serious.

Did I provoke your competitiveness?

Or did someone tell you
that I'm a rich heiress, but I live

on the rooftop for kicks?

Why do you keep chasing me
when you barely know me?

Why do you keep turning me down
when you barely know me?

You're chasing a woman
after seeing her at a hotel.

And you tell me you like me,
but you bring me

some dead plant without its root.

Ms. Kang.

Other people call this a flower
and it makes them happy.

Even if I put it in water with some ice,
it will wither in a few days.

And the water will rot and stink.

I can't even recycle it,
so I have to throw it out.

But the thorns will rip the trash bag.

And the trash will spill out,
and my finger will bleed.

Gosh. Trash.

This is why I like you.

You're fun to be around.

Congratulations
on finding your entertainment.

You remind me of someone who would
actively fall for voice phishing.

"Hello, this is the police."
After hearing just that,

you'd say, "Gosh.
Here's my bank account number.

And this is my passcode.
Someone must've used my account illegally.

Then where should I wire
my entire savings?"

What's up with today?
Why is everyone analyzing me?

I'll just throw the flower away.

You can't…

What's important

is that you don't hate me.

Right?

Because…

I seem like a fool
who'd fall for voice phishing easily?

I think you're just scared
of relationships.

And if that's the case, you can date me.

Go out with me.

You should.

I'll be back tomorrow.

I was going somewhere.
I just stopped by to see you.

Gosh, I'm late.

We have a VVIP group coming in today.

They asked for an extra humidifier
and air purifier.

You all read the notice
about the drama shoot, right?

-Yes.
-Yes.

Please cooperate,

but if you see them smoking,
don't let it slide.

Tell them to put it out
and report it right away.

Just to be clear, you can't put
profanity in your report like somebody.

You can't write things like,
"The production crew is going crazy."

Jeong-bin, this is your first time.
Don't just rely on the fire alarms.

The previous crew disassembled them
just to smoke.

Gosh, that's pretty bold.

I understand.

-Mr. Min.
-Yes?

Do you have anything else to add
regarding the drama shoot?

Gosh. I can't believe
I'll be seeing Ahn Ga-yeong in person.

But that's all makeup, right?

Without the makeup,

she must have blemishes
like freckles or dark spots, right?

Should I ask her when I see her?

I'm joking.

You know,
Ahn Ga-yeong had her wedding at our hotel.

It'd feel weird to film
a wedding scene here.

Right?

-You can't…
-What's important

is that you don't hate me.

Right?

-What is it?
-What?

Oh. It's nothing.

Put it inside, please.

How many times

have I…

thrown myself into the trash can?

5 YEARS AGO

The person you are trying to reach

is unavailable. Please leave a message.

I'm at Hongdae.

Answer your phone. I'm worried.

Hold on.

Sit.

Why are you dating me?

Be honest. You're sick of me.

I can see through you.

Drink some water.

I'll call you in the morning.

How come those darned kids
don't come out to greet their father?

-Please don't…
-Damn it. Come out!

-Please.
-Hey!

Don't you lay a finger on them,

or I'll kill you.

Fine.

You already ruined my life anyway.

Kill me. Just kill me!

Please…

Come here!

The seven-year-old girl

who wanted to sleep.

How many times

have I woken her up?

To scrape off an old scab,

I was hurting

the healed skin as well.

I'll get going.

Hey.

It's Kang Da-jeong.

Hey…

My stalker waits for me
even at the bus stop now.

You got hurt. Did it bleed a lot?

You don't feel dizzy?

Given your condition,

you should have a meal with me right now.

Has anyone called you trash?

Do you hate the thought
of eating with me that much?

Alcohol, drugs, lying, cheating,
perverted behaviors,

ghosting, and assault.

Have you done any of these?

Do you finally have questions for me?

I can't tell you here.

Your usual. And the same for you.

When I first saw you at the hotel…

"She's the one."

I could sense it.

If you heard bells or something--

Sometimes I see

my childhood memories in my dreams.

It was snowing a lot.

There were tangerines at home,

so I was watching TV while eating them.

It was really ordinary.

But I guess it was

the happiest day of my life.

When I first saw you,
that scene flashed through my head.

And…

in that room,

you were…

by my side.

You were smiling.

You can…

take your time.

Did you tell Mr. Hong?

You like tangerines.

What are you talking about?
What about him?

He bought tangerines.

Tangerines. Poems.

I don't like those presents.

Mom, you like handbags.

He should have brought tangerines
in a handbag. A plastic bag? How dare he?

So what if they're sweet and pretty?
They're just fruit.

Why did he think of me
when he saw tangerines?

Is using tangerines
to confess your feelings a trend?

Did someone get some for you?

What does he do? He's not ugly, right?

I don't know him that well yet,

but he said what I like to hear.

Something about eating tangerines
in a warm room

while watching TV on a snowy day.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RELOCATION
FROM AHN GA-YEONG

You still work here, Ms. Oh.

I can see that you've been well.

Look at those babies.

Both top and bottom.

I have been well

as I've been hassle-free
for the past few years.

Right up until a moment ago.

Gosh. This scarf is beautiful, isn't it?

He gave me the same one.

Was it last year? Or two years ago?

Anyway, it was long ago.

I should find it and give it away.
Where did I shove it?

Okay. She will tell you what to do.

I'm here.

You don't want me here.
I'll wait downstairs.

-I'll see you around.
-Okay.

Sure.

Okay.

Goodbye.

A psychiatrist's personal life
can't be known to patients.

Transference is needed in therapy,

and the more information they have on me--

Fine. Yes. I know.
It will be hard for you to treat them.

I heard that when you exploded on me for
putting our wedding photo at the clinic.

Then why are you doing this?

People don't think a couple can
stay friends after their divorce.

But we can. Are we not normal?

No. You're being really weird right now.

We didn't get a divorce
because one of us messed up.

We didn't break up…

because I'm crazy or anything.

How could you not be happy to see me?

-Have you been getting counseling?
-Aren't you tired

of wondering if I'm crazy or not?

Is that the only question you have?

No.

How many sleeping pills do you take?

Two?

Three?

-Four?
-Four…

You doubled it?

Was that your request or…

Maybe it's because you nag twice as much.

What's the matter?

Why are you asking?
You won't even help me.

You won't treat people you know.

You came to tell me anyway, didn't you?

I'll leave without telling you.
That way, you'll worry about me.

I'm very sick.

Yes. Bring the car to the main road.

Hey. I just saw Ahn Ga-yeong.

She's filming a drama
at the hotel next week.

She even got married at the hotel.

Why?

-What?
-Be quiet.

What?

Look.

Yes. That's the hotel I work at.

Exactly.

Don't just look at the photo.
Read what it says here.

"Actress Ahn Ga-yeong and Psychiatrist Ju,

who was the medical consultant
for Doctor Criminal,

get divorced after only a year…"

Have a good day.

Thank you. Bye.

-I told you.
-That's why…

He did look familiar, neck down.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RELOCATION
FROM AHN GA-YEONG

-Wait.
-Gosh.

Goodness. There you go again. Gosh.

Ms. Oh told me to throw this out.

But the plant is still alive.

You think so?

She says the plant is cursed.

But it was a present.

If this stays, I go.

End of story.

Oh, no.

Oh, no!

Let's put this here for now.

I'll look for a bigger bucket.

Okay.

You still don't think the plant is cursed?

Cheol-do.

Can you check on the fourth floor?
There's a water leak.

But Da-jeong went to a convenience store
since the coffee shop was full earlier.

I see.

You washed your hair.

I often wash my hair at night.

Are you here to see me?

Don't be silly.

I often sit on this bench.

I see. I mean,

you were on the bench I could easily see
from the car, so I was just wondering.

I'm very busy right now.

06M 5381

Are you free this weekend?

I'm busy on the weekend, too.

Come on.

What? Do you think I'm in my bed all day

watching Guardian and reciting
Eun-tak's lines again and again?

Is that how you spend your weekend?

No, it's not.

Gosh. I lost my focus.

You're reading entertainment news.

It's about a drama
that will be filmed at the hotel!

I see. Okay.

"Akheubukjutdan."

Is it a Russian drama?

Who said you could look?

You're leaving your coffee for me?

Can I drink it?

-There's a water leak.
-This weekend…

I thought you guys were done talking.

We are.

What about the water leak?

Let me go up and check on it.

-Now?
-Is it too late?

Let's just call a plumber.

The leak might be caused
by a pool of water.

Let me turn on the water.

Be gentle.
I cranked up the water pressure.

Oh, no.

-Goodness.
-Gosh.

Goodness! Oh, my!

Hold on.

Hey, Mom.

I'll call you later.
I'm watching a cobra show.

No. I'm okay.

That cobra…

It's dead.

I'll buy you the same one.

I don't see any water trapped here.

I don't get why it's leaking.

I should have called a plumber.

Can I check your washing machine
just in case?

Maybe another time.

If you don't have a passport too,

you won't get
the health insurance benefits.

Is that okay?

Hello.

You see patients at night, too.

You work at a university hospital as well.

Please sit.

Do I have to?

No.

Suit yourself.

You're a US citizen.

You've seen a psychiatrist before, right?

-People there see shrinks--
-No.

I suddenly got upset today.

Why?

I think you're surveilling me.

Have you ever felt
you were being watched before?

You must think I'm really here
as your patient.

If you're not here as my patient…

Then what?

It's the other way around.

You walked into my sight.

Just like now.

Why did you put your foot under mine?

Is that what you mean?

I'm here as a patient.

That way, whatever I say,
you have to keep your mouth shut.

To keep your license.

Great.

Then did you come to my clinic--

Do you like Ms. Kang?

Because I do.

CHAE JUN
AMERICAN

Do you think I bought a new jacket
to cover up the rapist's face?

I became a cop to catch bad guys,

but I'm their caretaker,
protecting their identities. Seriously.

Why do they always do this
during my mealtime?

Come on.

You know what? As soon as I catch
that bastard, I'm turning in my badge.

-What? You don't think I mean that?
-No.

What is it?

I brought a delicious treat.

Why didn't you come sooner?

I missed you a lot.

MURDER OF LEE JEONG-BEOM
IN PUNGJI-DONG, 2018

About the Pungji-dong case,

do I have access to any files?

You can access anything in there.
You're our consultant.

Classified files won't open there anyway.

Really?

Why?

Are you scared to live in that building
because the culprit

hasn't been caught yet?

Goodness. Were you scared?

I was wondering if he would reveal himself
as a defensive behavior.

In layman's terms?

"The culprit always returns
to the scene of the crime."

THE MURDER CASE ON THE 3RD FLOOR
OF GUGU BUILDING…

If you had coffee,
let's drink water on the rooftop.

Shall we go upstairs?

No.

How about some air on the rooftop?

-Shall we?
-No.

Gosh. Random people
can come and go as they please.

I'm so worried. Should I walk you up?

No.

It won't work. What should I do?

Should I think about that upstairs?

No.

Right? Even if it's a rooftop,
it's your personal space.

Besides, it's quite late.
Can I still go up?

This is a present.

But it was in the hallway for a while.

"Congratulations on your relocation.
From Ahn Ga-yeong."

Oh, no.

I didn't know you were divorced.

Getting a divorce isn't a joke or a flaw.

Sorry about what I said.

What?

When we were having jjamppong,
you were so blunt, so out of anger, I said

you never date and are stuck at your
clinic because you always analyze people.

I said you would get a divorce within
a year since you have two hair whorls.

But I don't know much
about double hair whorls.

Well, is it like a two-horse carriage?
Or double headlights?

Or ssanghwacha?

You never said that.

Oh.

Actually, I said it to Eun-ha.

-I see.
-Anyway…

I'm sorry.

When we first met,
I said you were a trash magnet…

Anyway…

If you're sorry,
can you take care of this for me?

-No.
-But you said you're sorry.

Yes, I'm sorry, but no.

-Why not?
-I don't want to kill again.

-Who did you kill?
-Everything except that one.

Every plant I had including herbs
and cacti ended up dying.

Just water it occasionally.

They die
even when I water them diligently.

You probably watered them
until their roots rotted.

Whether it's dating or growing plants,
you give them

-every piece of you.
-That's enough.

Defense mechanisms just come out

without you even realizing it.

You might find this hard to hear, but--

Whether it's analyzing me, deducing,
or guessing, just stop it.

-Can I say one more thing?
-No.

-I'll just say it anyway.
-Stop it.

Don't see him.

I…

wasn't going to see him.

That's a relief.

All right, then.

Take your plant.

-No need to thank me.
-You must be crazy.

I'll come by from time to time.

-Come where? Who said you could do that?
-Thanks.

I really might end up killing it.

Have a good night, Ms. Kang.

CRIME SCENE PHOTOS OF VICTIM

Hello.

You must think I'm here as your patient.

Why did you put your foot under mine?

Is that what you mean?

"The culprit always returns
to the scene of the crime."

You.

Stop seeing her.

Hey, it's Kang Da-jeong.

Hey, it's her.

Sociopath.

Why did you tell me not to date him?

Do you like me?

I felt pressured to reciprocate
your feelings.

I'll be smiling like a fool
while looking at you.

In that dream of yours,

was there a cat too?

"Year 2003, Anam-dong."

I saw something eighteen years ago.
And it's bothering me.

Last time, you said you were looking
for an answer.

Did you find it?
