Original subtitles

Who do you think it is? The killer.

I'm not sure.

Everyone in Gangnam is talking about her death.

A-jin impresses me so much.

She sure is impressive.

She said she won't sue for alimony or division of property.

I think she'll just end it with that house alone.

She said that she deserves the house for all the efforts that she has made.

So many crazy things have happened around her, you know.

But somehow, she managed to keep it together.

She's mentally healthy.

Gosh, I hope Su-min becomes like her. I don't want her to take after me.

Divorce...

It may be the last stage of marriage.

Doesn't every married couple think about getting divorced at least once?

That's true.

By the way,

I heard that Gyeong-hui has been getting severe morning sickness.

Yun-jae is leaving soon to go to school abroad.

They're sending him to the boarding school Do-hyeon is attending.

You said that you broke up with that boyfriend of yours.

You must be bored these days.

Rich women who are passionate and have a ton of time on their hands

are the most unfortunate ones.

I'm one of them.

You're so spoiled.

I miss A-jin.

She must be very busy these days.

Seoul High Court is now in session

for an oral argument hearing appealing the divorce case, 2017R-21315.

The respondent isn't here though.

Appellant, you wrote "No reason" as the reason for your appeal

in the form you submitted.

Appellant, is there anything specific you'd like to tell us?

Your Honor,

I cannot accept this divorce.

I will protect my wife and my family,

even if this country... I mean, even if this world falls apart.

Since the respondent isn't here today,

we'll have to reschedule this trial.

What did I do so wrong?

Please at least answer my question.

Did you break it off with that woman?

Which woman?

Goodness.

Wait, Your Honor. Your Honor!

We received NFS' official autopsy report.

The time of death is presumed to be between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on February 28.

She had wine with cheese about an hour before she died

and a significant amount of barium, which is commonly used

for psychiatric medication, was found in her stomach.

That must mean she had been seeing a psychiatrist.

Correct. We did some digging and found out

that she was seeing a psychiatrist for about a month.

Also, she couldn't fall asleep without sleeping pills.

We've tracked down Bong-cheol Gu's whereabouts.

Hello?

It's me.

I'm going to the police station now.

You remember what I told you, right? Dump everything on Bok-ja Park.

That woman, Bok-ja Park. Bok-ja Park!

She's already dead.

Mr. Gu. Hey, Bong-cheol Gu!

SEOUL GANGNAM POLICE STATION

Why did you run away?

I never ran away.

We issued a number of appearance notices.

We were only able to catch you after circulating wanted posters.

I didn't kill her.

It's our job to find out whether you did it or not.

I heard from Ms. A-jin Woo

that Ji-yeong Park could move into Chairman Ahn's residence

because of you.

You colluded with her

and you were instrumental in helping her marry Chairman Ahn.

Did you feel deeply betrayed by her?

Yes.

I did feel betrayed at the beginning.

I resented her.

But I came to understand her at some point.

Suddenly becoming a member of high society can change you, you know.

I just told myself that such a change was inevitable.

Do you have an alibi for the day that she died?

The elder son's wife ordered me to kill her.

That's when I knew that Bok-ja would get killed soon

if the situation didn't change.

I hated her too, but I could not bring myself to kill her.

Where have you been? And what have you been doing all this time?

I helped my friend out at his fitness center in Daejeon.

How did you hear about Ji-yeong Park's death?

I saw it on the news.

Do you have evidence to prove that Ms. Ju-mi Park ordered you to kill her?

No, I don't.

She'd never leave any evidence behind.

She'll manage to evade the police net no matter how hard you try.

She's extremely clever.

We didn't need the security company's service anymore.

That's the only reason why I canceled our contract with them.

As you know, people were gossiping about our family like crazy.

"A caregiver seduced the chairman and ran away with a huge chunk of money."

I couldn't stand the fact that they were watching us

and I also hated that we were monitoring them.

I hate security cameras.

I heard that you were

with your husband at Leo Resort on February 28.

Is it true?

-Yes. -Do you have an alibi?

I guess my husband and I will have to be each other's witness.

You've solicited Bong-cheol Gu

to kill Ji-yeong Park, haven't you?

Detective.

I'm a professor.

Well, I do admit that I hated her to the point that I wanted to kill her.

However, I know better than to risk losing everything I have

just to kill a woman like her.

We checked dashboard camera footage from a car that was parked nearby.

A man walking into the house was caught on the camera from behind.

There were actually two men.

Well, they were holding umbrellas as it was raining,

so we haven't been able to confirm their identities,

but it's possible

that Bong-cheol Gu was one of them.

Tell us. Have you really been bugging all of our conversations?

No, of course not. It's just a misunderstanding.

The rumor has spread all over Gangnam.

We heard that Bok-ja Park tipped off a reporter.

Before she died, she said that the reporter will expose

all of your dirty deeds.

He's waiting for the right time to drop the bomb.

Gosh, that is absolutely crazy.

By the way, where did you hear about all this?

Have you heard of Gangnam Paparazzi?

It's a tabloid that covers all kinds of rumors about people in Gangnam

and they covered the rumor.

Anyway, it's not true.

Why would I plant a bug here? That is just crazy.

If that's the case, can we search the place?

Of course. Search all you want.

Enough!

We didn't even talk about anything important.

Why would she bug our conversations?

Right, they were all just chitchats.

She's definitely hiding something.

I've been suspicious of her for some time now.

She knows everything

that we've talked about.

Ladies, come out for a second.

She's the Pungsan family's new housekeeper.

Did they hire her as Yeo-ul's replacement after firing her?

No, I'm just a helper.

I don't clean or cook.

I run Mr. Chairman's errands and assist him with his meals.

Did his wife hire you herself? She didn't, right?

She's the one who hired me.

I'll have a lot to learn, so please help me out.

I've downloaded the security camera footage from February 28.

Thank you.

The suspect is here.

So, what happened when you got home?

Exactly as you said the other day.

I went in and killed her.

I was so furious that I couldn't control my anger.

That's why I killed her.

Answer me.

Did you really kill her?

Goodness, I just told you that I did. Why don't you believe me?

Why are you turning yourself in?

Just because.

Killing someone

can deeply agonize you.

It's better to get locked up in jail because it'll free me from this torture.

I can't take this.

I need peace of mind.

I'm doing it for peace of mind.

The killer who murdered Ji-yeong Park, the vice chairwoman of Daesung Pulp,

turned himself in today.

The killer is Jae-gu Ahn, the victim's stepson

and the eldest son of the former chairman of Daesung Pulp, Tae-dong Ahn.

The police stated that he murdered the victim due to his resentment

toward her for selling Chairman Ahn's shares and running away

and that it was a spur-of-the-moment choice.

The police also stated that the two of them have had

a hostile relationship since he returned from the US last year

as they didn't see eye to eye on matters related to inheritance.

Mom, are you worried about something?

No.

Ji-hu, you've never told your friends at school

about Grandpa's company, right?

Why would I?

They'll call me Toilet Paper if they find out about Dad working

at a toilet paper company because they're so childish.

Right. I'm glad you haven't told anyone.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

I won't.

You didn't write anything in your English journal today.

I want to do it only three times a week.

I've been writing about sad stuff, so I don't want to write too often.

Mom.

I like this house. It smells nice here.

I'm glad to hear that you're happy here. Mom is going to bed too, okay?

Okay, sweet dreams.

It's me.

Hey.

Is Ji-hu sleeping?

Yes.

I'm sorry, A-jin.

Me too.

I'm sorry about everything.

Jae-gu...

What should I do now?

Why did he do such a thing?

He turned himself in.

We'll get his sentence mitigated.

Let's do our best to help him out.

Stop crying.

After all, tomorrow is another day.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have

hired her.

I'm sorry.

I was the one

who introduced that painter to you

and Father

met that woman because of me.

That's not your fault.

Those who made the choices are at fault.

-Namaste. -Namaste.

Are things going well?

-What things? -Everything.

I heard that Pungsan chairman's mistress is out of the picture now.

His wife found out that he's actually in love with the mistress,

so she cooked up a ruse.

What kind of ruse?

She hired a young, pretty girl as his maid.

What? Why?

Because she'd rather deal with him lost in lust than in love with his mistress.

And apparently, she told that maid all the details

about Bok-ja Park's death.

What's my husband doing now?

He's fighting with his girlfriend. He actually just left after the fight.

I see. It's about time they start fighting.

He'll probably get himself a new girlfriend soon.

-Ms. Kim. -Yes?

Would you like to watch a movie with me today?

I'm off today.

A movie?

Yes, I want to know what kind of movies you like.

I like movies.

I like movies too.

Then, let's go to the movies.

Are you asking me out on a date?

I guess so.

I don't do those things.

Let's just...

How about we...

Let's just have fun.

I'll take a shower first.

Hello, ma'am. Can I help you find something?

Come this way. The latest collection is over there.

Thank you very much.

Isn't this cute? I think this one is cuter.

It's so adorable.

We'll get this one and...

There's a heart here. That's what I love the most.

Look at this flower here.

I love this heart.

What's the title?

Curtain Call.

-Curtain Call? -Yes.

As you know, "curtain call" refers to performers appearing on stage again

in response to the audience's applause after their performance.

Is that how you interpreted the notion of death?

My gosh, Seong-hui Yun.

You're very talented.

-Just be careful with guys from now on. -Okay.

How did you come up with this idea?

Ms. Kim, we have to prepare the caption for this painting,

-so take notes of what she tells you. -No problem.

Oh, right. Have you sent the payment for her painting that we sold?

Yes, I have.

A-jin gave me the go-ahead to send your payment.

That's how the curtain was rung down on my stage called life.

My life, which received no applause,

ended like this.

What made her happy

was neither fancy purses nor expensive shoes.

However, she was embarking on a new chapter of her life

and she decided to be her own cheerleader

in her new journey.

Then, there are people who show us that even the glass ceiling

and the glass floor can be broken.

All right, it looks good.

Here you go.

That seals the deal.

BUILDING PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Just like that, she has broken the glass ceiling

-Congratulations. -and she keeps on moving up in the world.

The magic wand that enabled her to break the glass ceiling

and climb the social ladder.

Surprisingly enough, her magic wand was

the flavor enhancer that everyone knows.

Do you have any radish kimchi?

Just eat it, will you?

Eat it with that.

The kimchi is ripe and delicious.

You think it's delicious? It tastes like it has a ton of MSG.

Dad.

We hired a lawyer at the best law firm in the country for Jae-gu.

By the way, where's Ju-mi? I also haven't seen Un-gyu.

Ju-mi went to work and Un-gyu is abroad now to study English.

He left a while ago.

Dad, you should eat more.

It's okay. I don't have much appetite.

By the way,

we need to go through all the assets she left behind and sort things out,

but I just can't bring it up to Dad now.

Is money the only thing you care about? We have to help Jae-gu first.

Hey, that woman is dead,

so we won't need to start a lawsuit to get the shares back, right?

I have no idea.

Hey, you can't be that hands-off about it.

You're jobless now.

We should settle the dispute over the assets once and for all.

Gosh, seriously. Enough, okay?

-How can you be going on about that now? -What's your problem?

Legally, half of the money she left behind

should go to Dad because he's her spouse and the rest is ours.

We should take this as an opportunity to sort that out.

Goodness.

By the way,

don't you think Dad looks so much healthier now?

That woman did help him a lot.

What's going on with Mr. Oh?

I heard that he decided to stay at Gangil Group.

I see.

Sir.

I actually got a call from Mr. Jae-gu Ahn

a few days before Ms. Park passed away.

What did he say?

He told me that Mr. Oh has been Ms. Park's right-hand man

and that I should tell you not to trust him.

He asked me to make sure I pass the message along to you.

Wasn't it you?

I thought it was you.

Does that mean you knew everything?

Of course. How could I not have known?

Then why did you do those things?

There are things that you just can't pull yourself away from.

I...

I liked her a lot.

Is there anything you want to say to me?

Dad.

Yes.

Please take good care of Un-gyu and my wife for me.

I don't resent you.

I'm sorry.

I'll do everything in my power

to help you.

Please take care of your health.

REAL ESTATE TITLE RECORDS

OWNER: A-JIN WOO 105 UN TOP VILLAGE, UNIT 303

I transferred it back to your name.

Let's end the litigations and our dispute over the assets here.

-A-jin. -Yes?

Don't you pity me?

Why should I pity you?

My wife left me and I even lost my job.

And to top it all off, my brother is in jail for murder.

Do you know what your biggest problem is?

You think that the world revolves around you.

You're right. I am like that.

Even though I'm self-centered,

I'm very modest.

As an example, I think of myself as the earth and you as the sun.

Right, and that woman is the moon.

You're right. I did think like that.

What would be the best way to make you understand it?

Yes, that will be the quickest.

From now on, you should think of yourself as the sun,

not the earth.

Try to think that you exist for the earth.

I hope you realize that not everything in the universe exists for you.

Ji-hu must take after you.

I can never understand what the two of you say.

Well, that's also the reason why I love the two of you so much.

You certainly don't need anyone's pity. Why?

Because you're the sun.

Ji-hu said she wants to hang out with you.

Right.

After all, tomorrow is another day.

Ji-hu, Daddy has a lot of time today. Where shall we go?

I don't have much time today.

Really?

Did you and Mom sort everything out without fighting?

Yes, we did.

Dad, shall we go somewhere and grab a bite to eat?

Sure!

Dad.

You have to pull yourself together, okay?

What do you mean?

I'm worried about you because you're not a mentally strong person.

I'm not mentally weak. What are you talking about?

If Mom starts seeing another man...

I can't allow that.

Why can't you? I mean, you did it. Why can't Mom do it?

She can't. She absolutely can't.

Dad, you can no longer meddle in Mom's life.

Dad, have you watched The Lion King?

Of course. It's the animation with the lion.

That's right. There's something the Lion King says in it.

"The past can hurt. But from the way I see it, you can either

run from it or learn from it."

I really hope that you can learn from your past mistakes so that you can...

I hope you can learn what's right and wrong.

You don't want a lion to outsmart you, do you?

Hey.

Hey. Have you eaten yet?

No, not yet. What about you?

Well, you know what my answer will be. Let's go.

Let me introduce you to Ms. Seo before we go.

I've already introduced myself to her. I also gave out my business cards.

Everything has been taken care of.

I have a meeting in 20 minutes. It won't take long though.

All right, I'll be looking at paintings here.

Don't worry. Just go and have a fun date.

I'm supposed to meet Pungsan Technology chairman's wife.

She's going to hang out with me all day.

I have to take her somewhere, so you can definitely step out.

Thank you for being so considerate. We'll get going, then. Let's go.

The restaurant we're going to is over there.

It's 200m away from here.

Right.

Since our step lengths are different, we have to stay focused

in order to keep our pace the same

so that we can walk side by side until we get to the restaurant.

What are you trying to say?

If we do this, we'll be able to relax

and enjoy our walk all the way there.

What... What will happen to my husband?

Bok-ja Park!

Bok-ja Park?

That new maid. She's possessed by Bok-ja Park.

Are you saying Bok-ja Park's spirit is inside her body now?

Why did you hire a girl like her as a maid?

What should I do now?

Just fire her. What else can you do?

It's too late. I told you that she's possessed by that woman's spirit.

What about my husband?

Well, let me be clear on this.

I never went into anyone's body.

I can tell you for certain

that I'm not in their world.

God.

The case has been solved.

Hey.

You said that Jae-gu Ahn has a son, right?

-Yes. -How old is his son?

He's studying English in the US after his college entrance exam.

Jeez.

It must be a big shock to him.

-Sweet dreams, Mom. -You too, my princess.

"It was really delicious."

February 28, Tuesday.

My cousin called me late at night when I was asleep.

I missed the call, so I called him back.

He said, "I'll kill the devil tonight."

I suppose, after he finished the entrance exam,

he must've been indulging himself in playing games.

His mission seems to be killing the devil,

which must be the goal

or the character of the game he's been playing.

February 28...

That's after he left for the States.

So, do you know if Un-gyu managed to beat the devil?

What are you talking about?

Sorry, I read what you wrote in your English journal.

I wanted to make sure you're mentally healthy and happy.

It's not an invasion of privacy, right? Don't get mad at me.

It's fine. I left it on my desk because I don't mind you reading it.

Right? It looks like you and Un-gyu talk often. I'm glad you two are close.

-We talk from time to time. -Is he doing well in the States?

Is he in the States now?

Yes, he's studying English there now.

No, he didn't go to the States.

What do you mean?

He was in Korea when I last spoke to him.

What?

UN-GYU

-Hello? -Hey.

Un-gyu, why did you call me this late?

I'll kill the devil tonight.

The devil?

It's raining, which is great.

It's the perfect night to kill the devil.

Un-gyu, did you call me to tell me this?

I called because at least one person needs to know.

Are you home now, Un-gyu?

Yes.

Don't get too addicted to games, okay?

-Have a good day. -See you later.

Bye.

He said... out of the blue, Un-gyu said,

"I'll kill the devil tonight."

I thought that killing the devil must be the goal of the game

he has been playing.

Un-gyu!

Aunt A-jin.

You.

Get out!

You killed a man!

I wasn't the one who killed him!

It was an accident! How many times have I told you?

-Shut up! -You treat me like an insect!

You son of a bitch!

Mr. Chairman!

Your wife and kid.

If you want them to be treated like human beings in this household,

you better keep your mouth shut.

Are you crazy?

If you spew that kind of bullshit once more,

your wife and son will get kicked out too.

This is your last warning.

He's mistaken.

He took my blanket, so...

So, that's why you were going to sleep next to me?

No. That wasn't it, my blanket...

What do you think you are doing?

I've already killed someone before.

First time, it's hard. The second time, not so much.

Shoot.

If you don't shoot me here, you'll look ridiculous.

Shoot me!

-You can't do this. -Let go!

-You can't do this. -What in the hell is going on?

-Ju-mi. -Don't.

I'm sorry. I'll go back to America.

Don't go. Claim what belongs to you and Un-gyu, first.

You can't back down. We are

on the edge of a cliff right now.

It's all useless.

No, if you can't do that, do something before you go.

-Like what? -At least...

kill that woman before you go.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Un-gyu.

Un-gyu.

It's me, Dad.

I heard you'll leave for the States in two days.

Come and see me before you leave.

I miss you.

You must've had booze before.

I wanted to go to a sauna with you

and I also wanted to help you

the very first time you shaved,

but I couldn't.

Here.

I want to at least teach you how to drink.

I should teach you so that you know how to drink properly.

Why didn't you come back sooner?

I'm sorry.

Mom and I...

We were very lonely.

I'm sorry.

I...

I won't go to the States.

You dropped that knife at the scene.

You didn't know, did you?

What?

You found this at the scene?

Hey.

Let's sleep at a bed-and-breakfast. It's too cold out here.

Let's try sleeping here first. I've always wanted to do this.

Inmate number 8516, you have a visitor.

You should move to the States with Un-gyu.

Ohio is a great place to live.

He can go to university there too.

But I guess that means you'll have to quit your job here.

I'll wait.

We'll wait for you there.

Thank you.

And...

I'm sorry.

Gosh...

I feel a bit better now.

I've always

felt bad because I've done nothing

for you and Un-gyu.

FEBRUARY 28, 1:40 A.M.

Hello? Mr. Kim?

I'm at the hospital now.

Just go home.

FEBRUARY 28, 1:42 A.M.

Un-gyu.

Why did you do that? Why did you do that to me?

Why did you treat my mom like that?

-I thought you were in the States... -Why?

I'm asking you why you treated us like that!

FIVE MONTHS AFTER BOK-JA PARK'S DEATH

Yun-jae, you know

that you have to call me every day from the States, right?

Yes.

Don't eat too much chocolate and don't forget to brush your teeth, okay?

I love you, Son. Mom loves you so much.

Call me when you arrive, okay?

Make sure you call me as soon as you arrive.

Mom loves you.

You have to call me!

They weren't the only ones

who were parting ways.

It's too bad, but what can you do? Just give up this time.

Ms. Seo, that gallery is in New York.

It's not in Seoul, so it shouldn't matter.

It's not like social media's reach is limited to Seoul.

Do you know how cutthroat overseas Korean communities can be?

Besides, those in Gangnam have direct connections to Koreans in New York.

Practically everybody knows that you had a relationship with a married man.

Your artistic career might end if you aren't diplomatic this time.

It's not fair. I feel so victimized.

What is unfair?

Everyone must pay for what they did.

I've already paid for the mistake I made.

How did you pay for it?

Ms. Woo took all of my paintings.

That's a deal you made with A-jin.

The world hasn't punished you for it yet.

It looks like you still have no idea how this world works.

The show in New York isn't even important now.

Hey, you should change your name too.

Oh, I guess you can't do that.

Your name is already registered in the association.

You should just never show your face in public.

No publicity activities for you whatsoever.

Just paint and do nothing else.

Do you want fame?

If you get a taste of it, you'll realize that it's not that big of a deal.

That son of a bitch.

Hurry up, guys!

Let's eat a ton of sashimi here.

When he saw the woman holding a knife,

he felt that fate must be working its magic in inexplicable ways.

He also thought that she may be happy to become the earth for him.

He obviously had no interest

in learning from his past mistakes.

We'd like to offer you the position of executive director

of our design team.

As for your salary, we'll match

what the top-notch designers are making and you'll also get a bonus.

Thank you very much for the offer.

But at the moment, I'd like to focus on growing my brand

on my own.

It'll be great if our brands can work together strategically going forward.

What do you think about my proposal?

I think your brand will soon become our biggest competition.

I wish you all the best.

She started afresh in every aspect.

The comfort which the heater and sunroof once gave her.

By giving it up,

she gained true freedom.

Not everyone can enjoy such freedom.

The breeze feels nice.

Perhaps it was

her privilege.

I'll go pick up some coffee for us and juice for the kids.

Ms. Baek, I'm so happy these days.

You look happy.

Every day is so precious.

I can tell.

There are so many unfortunate people who feel that the morning sun

is nothing but a nuisance that wakes them up.

Happiness is like the sunlight.

You can't help but be grateful if you think that it brings a new morning.

From now on, I'll just enjoy everything

that the world has given me for free.

Word. How wise.

I want to write it down somewhere.

All right, kids. In-jae, this is yours.

Thank you.

This is yours, Ji-hu.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Gi-ho Kang.

I'm Ji-hu Ahn.

I've heard so much about you.

Mr. Kang, you're Mom's partner, right?

Yes, I'm your mom's partner.

You know that partners must get along, right?

Yes, I do. Help me out, okay?

Okay, I will.

My gosh. I must say, you look so much like your mom.

Mr. Kang.

Do you know what my mom's favorite food is?

It's kimchi stew.

You'll need my number. You asked me for help.

Right.

Here.

My parents' marriage ended like that,

but I still love my dad very much.

If you can be understanding about that,

I'd like to open up to you and get along with you.

Of course. I definitely understand.

You'll be understanding about me wanting to be close with your mom, right?

Yes. I'm relieved now that I've met you in person.

Really? Am I all right?

Yes, you have kind eyes.

Seriously? Wow.

Ji-hu, you're definitely

the most awesome 11-year-old kid I've ever met. I mean it.

Thank you. What a thoughtful compliment.

That made my day. This juice is delicious too.

Is it?

You should go to Mom.

All right.

GANGNAM POLICE STATION CASE REPORT

THE KNIFE USED IN THE CASE

About their son, Un-gyu Ahn...

What's the name of the guest in the suite?

It's Ms. A-jin Woo.

A-jin Woo. Thank you.

Oh, hello.

I managed to get the wine stain off, ma'am.

I see. Thank you.

Ms. Park.

Yes.

Thank you so much for washing my clothes perfectly.

May happiness surround you always, wherever you go.

Everyone dreams of being happy.

We all desire things that we don't have.

We think that having those things will make us happy.

However, happiness can only make our lives more abundant

when we free ourselves from such desires.

I'm happy now.

I'm happy now.

THE END
