Original subtitles

I love you.

I don't care.

But since you moved him, I don't need to pay the fees anymore, right?

Son!

When did you get here?

Let's get inside, shall we? Oh my.

What a gent.

I'd like to ask you something.

I wonder...

Why won't Heju talk?

Why? Wait, had you not heard?

It's from childhood trauma.

A car accident when she was little.

And that incident... still affects her?

Some people go silent and stop talking for psychological reasons. It's

selective mutism. Isn't it weird that it's been over 20 years and she's still

not better?

I guess it's because she feels guilty.

Feels guilty about what?

The accident wasn't her fault, though. That accident left her sister deaf and

it killed her brother.

How could you expect her to get over that?

That would be awful.

And how come you're asking about it?

Apparently you keep forgetting.

Bijou and I are married.

Please watch the way you treat her around me, with your words and actions.

Is he being protective of Heejun, huh?

Yep.

Oh, hey, let's go say hi.

What's up, Sam?

It's been a while. I nearly forgot how you look. We should get together more.

Totally. You look even better than our last visit. Oh, I guess Enoch takes good

care of him.

I know, right? Let's toast, shall we?

Cheers. Cheers, Sam.

Yeah, notes of Apple?

Lovely spread tonight. Oh, you're a civilian. You know it.

Everything looks amazing.

Mr. Peck.

Hello, Mr. Holman. So, when do you think you'll join forces with your father?

I guess he needs to make you a more serious offer.

Even though you're his son. In the end, it's all got to add up, right?

Excuse me, sir.

What is it you said earlier?

The consolation prize?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Listen to me carefully, 406.

Heejoo is not a consolation prize.

She's a complete universe. People have no clue how long she's had to repeat the

same hand movements growing up to become the adult she is now. So don't you dare

talk about my wife.

when you know nothing about her.

Sorry. Can you tell me where you found that, please?

Uh... I think she's over there in the ladies' room.

Then why'd you treat her all the time like she was invisible?

So why'd you convince her into thinking that you weren't married for real?

Are you okay?

What the hell were you doing up here?

You want to get yourself killed?

Were you just on the phone with someone?

Hong Hee Joo can't... Can't talk on the phone, I thought.

Why'd you have the phone held up to your ear?

Make a sound for me.

Come on, you made a noise a minute ago. Do it again! A hiccup, whatever!

Should I assist you?

Hong Yizhou... How could you do that?

You should leave.

Hello?

We finally went past the ten-minute mark on the call, and we were able to locate

him. And where is he?

Don't be alarmed.

But he's actually in Sogongdong, at the same hotel you're at now.

It looks like he's closer to you than we expected.

Do you think anyone in your vicinity is suspicious?

what I'm thinking.

So, wait.

You're saying he's actually here right now?

Why have you come out here? Get back inside.

dear i will not tolerate even one bad apple in my family that's out of the

question think very carefully before you make your decision what matters most

what kind of mother you are to your pathetic little boy or your status as my

daughter-in-law

Get hold of the guest list right away, and then, as soon as possible, reverse

the voice modulation.

Eju.

You still have that scar?

Do you remember that dog?

Nearly bit you when you were little.

And even then, you didn't make a noise.

How could a little girl not utter a sound in a moment like that?

It's impressive, Hiju.

Although I do wonder how long you'll stay quiet.

Here's the next story.

Pope Benedict XVII has officially resigned, and Pope Francis has just been

elected. This marks the first time in 600 years that a sitting pope has

stepped down before death.

What is this?

You think you can be an announcer?

An announcer?

How could you think you could be one of those? You can't talk!

I already explained that the minute you start running your mouth in front of

Ina, you and I will be kicked out of this house, you understand?

I don't think it was the dog that slapped you.

Hit them back next time.

Your mom, your sister, whoever.

Just be ready to hit back.

And it doesn't matter if you're related.

You can still swing.

Your knees hurt.

Sky's so red, it looks kind of like your cheek.

Don't you dare call Heejoo a consolation prize.

She's a complete universe.

Hey, did you let me in?

All along, you had me totally fooled with your little act.

Stop looking at me like you don't know. I know everything, okay?

Why?

Why did you deceive me like that?

You kept me in the dark for 20 damn years.

You even had me do all this shit. Why?

Fine. Whatever the reason. Let's say you were too young to know better back then.

You're not a little kid.

You're all grown up, right?

After you moved in, you didn't need to keep it a secret.

You could have told me about it, don't you think?

Everyone has a secret.

Don't you?

Anything you're hiding from me?

We'll reach out to everyone who passed the final screening for the position of

sign language interpreter individually.

And after that, they'll begin working tomorrow.

Here are the key reactions the media had to the recruitment.

Now everyone can watch the president's speech without any discrimination.

Korean sign language is just as important as its spoken language, and as

such, it should be equally accessible for the deaf community.

Sorry, Mr.

Peck. I'm aware that I'm not doing the most amazing job here, but I did work

pretty hard on all of this.

If there are things you don't like, or problems with any of it, please just let

me know.

No.

I have no complaints about it.

This is great work. Thanks.

I think we should take a little break.

There's a reason my liver is so messed up, you know? When you're constantly

stressed out, it makes your liver shrink.

Huh? It isn't because I smoke and drink, you know? That's a common misconception.

Things like stress and fatigue over time can also cause issues.

I know, sweetheart.

I'll take the supplements, okay?

Oh, and from now on, no more walking on the shelves carrying this anxiety. I'll

stand tall and stay calm.

Mister!

Mr. Peck? Mr.

Kang. Yes, yes, sir.

Can we talk for a second?

Mr. Kang, I'm curious.

Do you tell your wife absolutely everything?

Well, Mr. Peck, listen, I wasn't talking about you earlier, I swear. I was

talking about my health and... You have any secrets?

Huh?

You and your wife.

Do you two ever lie to each other?

In your relationship, do you keep secrets?

I'm... I'm not sure, but I really don't feel like we do.

Did something happen to... What is it, Mr. Peck?

Did your wife betray you?

Was she hiding money or something?

No, she wasn't. Oh!

Well then, if it's not about the money, you're pretty lucky, sir. You should be

okay.

You really think so?

Absolutely.

Also, you know, sometimes you just need to act like you don't know anything and

just forget about it.

Give her a little space to breathe.

And when you pick all the small stuff and grill her about things, she might

feel suffocated.

Apologies.

But obviously, that might be difficult for your personality type, sir. Hold on,

what do you mean?

Well, you're a bit of a perfectionist sir you understand right The truth well

it takes a lot of effort to make a marriage work trying to control your

temper effort

Oh,

your hard work paid off.

I'm proud of you.

You should let your family know.

Tell them the good news.

How about... We all go out for something to drink. How about we get coffee? Yeah,

we should do that. Let's go. Let's go.

Yeah, of course I am. Get some cake too. Wait, cake too? Really?

I got the job.

There was no special treatment, right?

I got it fair and square with my own skills.

Why is this so difficult?

What do I do now?

Right.

Everyone, please remember that we'll be having a welcome dinner.

It's tomorrow, for the new interpreters that we brought on.

Normally, we'd have a proper workshop, but since you're all tired from the

heavy workload, Mr. Peck especially, we're going to do a dinner instead.

Mr.

Peck?

What?

What were you saying?

There's a workshop?

Uh, no, no, sir. I know that you're far too busy to do that, so we'll do a

dinner. Our country's first presidential sign language interpreters have the

media buzzing. So at the very least, we should get a good commemorative photo to

use in the press release, right?

I think we should do the workshop.

Is everyone free this weekend?

I can be there.

Great. And hey, let's make it a two-day affair while we're at it.

Get the venue booked.

Wow. Mr. Park, you're such a yes man. I had no idea.

Oh, I can make it. They call him Peck Sound 2.0 for a reason. It's the reason

Mr. Peck himself selected and brought him on when he started.

I wonder what's going on. He usually never comes to team dinners.

What's this all of a sudden?

Maybe I should just delete it now.

No, that would just make it worse.

Stupid finger. God.

What does this mean?

Explain.

Explain? Is that abrasive?

Oh no, what do I do?

I can't look.

Congratulations on the job.

This is good stuff. I like it.

You picked a great restaurant.

Glad to hear you like it, sir. Great.

You really should have some, Mr. Peck.

Yeah.

This is good.

It's delicious.

Thank you.

I owe it to you.

Owe it to me?

Try not to say anything that might give the wrong impression.

To be clear, I didn't give you any special treatment.

Might be a little tough.

I think it's fine.

Sir, maybe you just... Maybe your teeth are a little weak.

Let me buy you a meal.

Buy me a meal, huh?

What might you recommend as a gift for a new hire you just brought on?

Probably the latest cell phone. What if they had a phone?

A tablet?

Or a laptop? We also have those.

Some help?

Let's hear some of your ideas.

How about a bag? A wallet? Not something that you'd want. It's got to be

something that's more practical.

Well, it doesn't necessarily need to be practical. All right, it doesn't need to

be practical, then.

Something personal, with some sentimental value.

For a new job, I think a nice suit's a safe bet a lot of the time, right? Come

on, that's silly.

A suit, huh?

Very good plan, sir.

That's a nice idea.

So, a suit.

Meet me here at six.

You really want to go in there?

Yeah.

You're not making it over this.

No.

No way.

What are you doing?

I'm pretty sure it was here.

What was here? A giant portrait.

I remember the hand was wearing a huge engraved ring with a dragon.

You said you played in a room here a ton?

Which room was it?

Oh, that one?

This way.

I remember seeing it running around here that day.

Seeing what?

This adorable cat.

The little boy said to me, Do you want to play with me?

What?

Play what?

Let's cut the cat's belly open.

Then we'll cut his tail off.

Its legs after that.

And then its head.

And the way he said it was so innocent, like it was completely normal.

And that was even scarier.

And they were just gone?

Right after I got adopted as a kid, some of the others from the orphanage went

missing and I didn't find out about it until I was an adult.

The case was open and it had gone cold.

Hey, wait, do you remember what you said?

When we started working together.

How come it hasn't been shared yet is a far better question to ask, don't you

think?

So then why?

Why are you digging up something that happened over 20 years ago?

I was the first one to find that mansion.

And I took all the other kids there.

I was basically waiting until I had enough subscribers who'd listen and pay

attention to what I was saying.

And then I was cast on your show, so I figured it was time.

So you've been holding onto this for a while.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Why?

Actually, uh... Well, someone asked about you just a few days ago, and I

accidentally mentioned that you, um, you lived in an orphanage when you were

little. Wait a second, Peksan actually asks about me?

What did he say?

Oh, you know, nothing much.

This and that.

Oh my gosh!

What's happening?

He too, this is amazing!

What's going on?

She got a job at the president's office!

Are you Miss Hong Hee Joo?

Right this way, please.

Considering the nature of your job, we chose a more neutral color without all

the bright, bold patterns or extra details.

What do you think?

Oh, we talked to the spokesperson's office. They told us that you're the

presidential sign language interpreter and would require an appropriate outfit

for the occasion.

So what do you say? Would you like to try it on?

Welcome. That color looks fantastic with your skin tone.

I think it's just a little loose, though. Let me bring you a smaller size,

okay?

Oh, it's lovely. You look amazing.

You've got great proportions, and that suit looks incredibly sharp on you.

Looks good on her.

She'll take that one.

Okay, I'll get it ready for you, sir.

You can change if you're ready.

I think you should give this one a try as well.

Thank you.

Have a great night.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Why didn't you want to try it on?

I don't need to try it on to know.

Know what?

Thank you for the suit.

Let's go have dinner now.

What did you know, though?

That I can't pull off fancy dresses like that.

I don't even have anywhere to wear it, and it clearly didn't suit me, so why

bother?

Okay. And that one?

Hi. You can go ahead.

So, the voice modulation analysis isn't complete yet. However, I received an

update that's quite strange.

Strange in what way?

Don't be alarmed.

But the waveform in the spectrogram analysis shows the gender of 406.

Female.

Are you sure about that? Of course. There's still the possibility of an

accomplice like we talked about, or it's a decoy. And if it's a decoy?

He might have used another person's voice instead of his own for it. As in

he played a recording or had someone read it?

That can't be how he did it.

I talked to him. He clearly wasn't just repeating back someone's lines.

This was a real live exchange that we had.

Let's rule out that possibility for now and continue the analysis.

You know, Heeju, it's a terrible habit you've got.

You underestimate yourself.

I can help you, if you want to correct it.

What do you think?

Pricey restaurant.

Korean beef.

Should go for noodles.

That's good enough for me.

I'd like some pork too.

Heeju, I heard about your new job as a presidential sign language interpreter.

Congratulations.

Wanna celebrate with a glass of wine? Yuri wants to congratulate you too.

I'm sorry, Sangwoo.

Maybe next- You should go with them.

But... I'll go too.

Congratulations, Hichu. Congrats.

I didn't know he was coming. How'd that happen?

Well, Miss Hong had intended to... to take me to dinner.

Is that right?

Why?

Something wrong? I was just asking, because it's not something she'd do

without a reason.

You two, what were you doing together? Doing legwork for the story we're

covering. Oh yeah, you had heard that we're doing a show together, right?

I heard you were asking Yuri all about me.

What's the story you're telling?

Uh... It's, um...

It's about some kids who went missing from an orphanage. We're not at liberty

to discuss it with you. It's confidential until the story breaks.

Sorry to jump in, but let me ask you something instead, Mr. Peck.

Let's talk about your interest in me.

Hey, Sangwoo.

I thought we were here to celebrate.

Right.

You're right.

But he'd you.

A sign language interpreter for the president.

I'm so glad to hear that.

But that's not what you really wanted to be, was it?

I will see her take off the bus

What can I do I do

Ever since that day, you'd come listen to music at the studio.

Oh.

You guys had a thing back in college.

Am I right?

Instincts never lie.

You have terrible instincts.

Repeatably so since my days at HBC.

I only report the facts.

Come on, you can totally picture it hanging in the college broadcasting

studio. It's such a classic setup.

The cutest little rom-com story.

Did you guys really have a thing?

Do you really need to ask? It's obvious they did.

Why else would Heechu have been hanging around in the studio? It's not like she

wanted to be an announcer.

I mean, she could have.

Why wouldn't she want it?

Huh?

It's just, I don't know, how could she work as an announcer?

She... I

guess she could. I mean, yeah, it's totally possible for her to do it.

Sure, so you wanted to work as an announcer, Hiju.

I wasn't aware.

And why are you bringing it up now?

She just became a presidential sign language interpreter.

And you asked that you want to be an announcer.

Are you trying to hurt her?

Trying to hurt her how?

She wants us to stop talking about her.

She used to want to be an announcer for work, but now... She's happy she'll be

working as a presidential sign language interpreter.

Are we done now?

Listen, I just needed one more glass.

You?

It's me. How have you been? It's been a long time.

Um... You think Heeju went to the restroom, or...? I'll check on her.

Ice cream, anyone?

Ice cream, now?

Me!

Chocolate, ooh!

Anything with chocolate!

Hey, guess what? I saw something really funny happen today at school.

Listen to this.

My friend passed me this note, right? Huh?

And wanna know what it said?

Tell me.

Why are you here?

I'm here to translate the things you say to Ina.

You?

Why didn't you get a hearing aid?

Or learn sign language if you're not able to hear?

He's happy to help you study and hopes you'll work hard to get better at math.

Solve these.

Try again if you miscalculate again, I'll pour cold water on you You

know try again, I know you can do better

Ask me something?

What is it?

Have you ever heard Heejoo's voice?

Why even ask? If she can't talk, how could I have heard her voice?

Then why is it that she won't talk at all, huh?

Inna never got a hearing aid or learned sign language after their accident

happened. She'd just take Heejoo with her.

She brought her everywhere she went and told her to write down what other people

said. That accident left her sister deaf and it killed her brother.

How could you expect her to get over that?

That would be awful.

Is it because... Is he not the reason?

Wait.

What are you saying?

Chairman Hong's one and only biological daughter was disabled.

He Ju was already tiptoeing around and maybe...

She was also forced to become silent.

Which is absolutely outrageous.

The thing is, I can't come up with any other reason.

You said that you had... No intention of letting her go free.

Even... Even if Hongina comes back, you still won't change your mind?

No. I won't change my mind.

Why not? Why can't you set her free?

Do you feel responsible?

No, of course not. Then what is it?

You feel sorry for her?

What was that you just said?

Do I feel sorry for her?

I'll say this only once for O6, so listen up. You want to know how I really

feel about Heejoo?

You sure you don't want to go to the hospital and get checked?

I've told you countless times, with the work you do, you must protect your

hands.

That was so reckless.

Where did you come from? You just appeared.

How are you so strong on your own?

You actually knocked me over.

Your voice.

You called my name, right?

I want to hear it once more.

Your voice.

It's you.

It's fine. You can speak. It's not the end of the world.

Everything you've wanted to say. All the things you've been keeping in.

You can say them freely.

You know he do.

It's a terrible habit you've got.

You underestimate yourself.

I can help you.

If you want to correct it.

What do you think?

Welcome, everyone. And congratulations.

What's your name, son? It's Zhang Wanbin, sir. A pleasure. Oh, Wanbin,

huh? Your looks sure measure up to the famous actor.

You'd give Mr. Peck here a run for his money in that department. Oh, God, no. I

couldn't dream of competing with him.

Though folks say I resemble him.

And you are?

I'm Hong Heizhu.

I don't know sign language myself.

So how are all of us supposed to handle communication with you at work?

Are we all supposed to learn to sign?

Sir, I plan to learn it.

Oh, is that right?

Yes.

To ensure that the interpreters are expressing what I say accurately and

correct them as needed.

If the tone's not quite right.

Sign language isn't difficult.

If you learn it, you'll have no problem communicating with me.

I'll start right away.

Today's the plan.

Wow. A presidential spokesperson who knows sign language as well. I can just

imagine the explosion on social media, right?

Absolutely. Sure thing, sir. Yeah.

Excellent. Welcome aboard, folks. Congratulations.

I actually already have these memorized.

I did some prep work, and yeah, it wasn't the worst.

I learned this one, this one, that one, and...

hundred questions and answers.

Every day, write down a word or sentence that you'd like to learn in sign

language.

Should I start today with that part?

Hmm.

How do I say that?

What about this?

I look forward to working with you.

Hong Hee

Joo

Interpreter

What?

Did I get it wrong?

to working with you, too.

Spokesperson, pick.

Sa.

Un.

Thank you so much.

Uh,

Mr. Peck?

Yeah?

You've never come to any of our team dinners, so we just went to our usual

place without asking you, so, uh, is this alright?

Sure.

Yeah, I'm fine with it. Oh good. Yeah, you can't find anything like it not for

team dinners. Am I right?

Mr.

Kang. Yes, sir.

What's happening with you over there?

Well, sorry me sir.

You're gonna let all that meat get burned. Oh, I completely forgot about

that. No, I'll

Please, eat.

Oh, wow. Thank you. This looks fantastic.

Here, have some.

You cooked it like a pro.

It tastes amazing, right?

Oh, yeah. Wow, it's incredible.

Please, help yourselves. Go ahead.

Would you like some?

Oh, sure.

What a treat.

Big one for you. Thank you. Can I have one too? This is really all we can

spare.

Well, Mr. Pack, since we're all here, let's have a toast. Please, sir.

What?

I look forward

to working with you.

He can sign? I look forward to it, too.

He just told us he looks forward to working with you.

That's great.

All right, everybody. Thanks. Welcome aboard.

This is Mr.

Peck's treat. It's all part of his welcome package.

Enjoy, everyone.

The food is wonderful.

Mr. Peck, can we speak just for a moment?

Help yourselves. Yeah, you too. Let's see, where are the germs? Sure, go

ahead. Wear them a glass. Let's pour them a glass.

I just received an update.

When they were finishing the voice analysis, they found a malicious virus

and the computer shut down after that.

And? Most of the original files were lost.

They managed to get some results from the recovered files.

But the sound quality's not great.

Can I please hear?

You can, it's just... Well, here, you can listen.

Hey sis, you alright?

You hurt anywhere?

You know, you went ahead and jumped right out in front of a car earlier.

Didn't you want to leave the guy though?

Changed your mind apparently, didn't you?

So you're not divorcing someone?

And why do you want me to do that?

Well, because... I want to ruin that bastard Peg's arm.

Listen, sis.

Do you think... Do you think you really know the guy?

Because I'm not sure you do.

I'm willing to bet not even a little bit.

How about you, then?

How could you possibly know him that well? Me?

Is that supposed to be some kind of a wisecrack?

Listen.

I know Sal.

Better than anyone else in the world, Susan. You should hurry.

There isn't very much time.

He'll be learning the whole truth soon.

What? What else, sis?

Your true identity.

Everything you've wanted to say. All the things you've been keeping in.

You can say them freely.

But what you want to hear... can't be anything like this.

Do you have any clue who it could be?

It's probably someone close to you. Someone who knows your personal life

inside out. And the age?

Based on what we could surmise, a woman in her late 20s.

So how the hell did the information about Hong Hee Joo get to you?

Are you someone close to me?

Don't be alarmed. At the same hotel as you right now.

Let me get out, please!

I'll send one more audio file to you.

Analyze the waveform and compare it with 406s.

I want the exact match percentage.

Down to two decimal places.

Yes, sir.

Really? I wanted to do that.

Oh, are you serious?

Oh, poor Mr.

K. No, I think you should.

Let's go first.

Kim, Mark, look. Oh, come on now.

We all had it. What do you guys think? What's the verdict?

Hey, Mr. Mark, you didn't try this one, did you?

Good, good, good. Here, let's drink.

Cheers. Try this one. I can order more if you want, although I'm not paying.

Jesus, seriously.

How about just one more drink?

No, no, wait. Don't go yet.

This way, sir.

Good night, sir.

Thanks for dinner, sir. Good night, boss. Good night, sir.

Bye.

Get home safely, sir.

Wow, this was his first dinner.

And the first time I've seen him drunk.

You think everything's okay?

Mr. Park, you know what's up?

Not really.

You guys went outside together, though. You were whispering about it, don't you

know? No, I don't.

Let's go drinking!

Yeah, we're all friends here. Yeah, we're all friends. Come on, hey, come

on, no!

Uh,

sir?

Excuse me?

You can go ahead and leave now.

Okay.

Mr. Peck, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I just got the analysis

results and I thought you'd want to know. There are 99.99% matched down to

two decimal places.

come tune in

If something happened, you need to tell me.

Tell you everything?

Honestly? You have an idea as to who 4 or 6 might be, don't you?

How about we take turns to ask each other some questions?

Then do you know if what Heejoo truly wanted was sincerity, attention,

understanding, affection, that kind of stuff?

I can give her all she wants.

Everything Heejoo wants.
