Original subtitles

Stay still!

You're fucking crazy!

I'll give you what you want, lady.

Don't you dare. Don't!

I'll give you what you like.

-Don't-- -Stay still.

-Let's have some fun, lady. -Don't!

Stay still!

That's…

STATEMENT

…everything.

So

you went by his house in hopes of resolving the issue quietly with money,

but Mr. Joo tried to violate you.

Is that it?

-That's right. -During an intense struggle,

you hit him in the head with a trophy that was next to you.

Yes.

You didn't end his life directly,

but you knew we'd consider you a suspect anyway.

On top of that,

you couldn't ignore the fact

that your actions could've led to his death

which is why you came here voluntarily.

That's right.

Blackmail, constant threats, and sexual assault.

If all you claim is true,

then you had enough motive

to murder him.

Having a motive

doesn't lead everyone to actually murder.

And like I said,

I went to him to quietly resolve the matter.

My actions…

seem more like self-defense.

Fine.

If that's true,

then where is the trophy you hit him

on the head with?

-Detective! Jeong-hae! -Gung-cheol…

Jeong-hae!

Detective?

-What the hell? -Detective?

Detective!

-Detective? -What's with the ruckus?

-Detective! -Gung-cheol, wait.

-Where's my wife? -Stop.

Mr. An, please calm down.

Where is she?

-Don't push! -Just a second.

-Her name's Nam Jeong-hae. -She's in there, right?

Also, where is Mr. Joo's cell phone?

I don't know.

Dr. Nam,

we're grateful you came in voluntarily to give a statement,

but we can't take the investigation any further

unless you tell us everything.

What I told you…

is all I know.

You don't know where the trophy is

or where his phone is.

Who else could've taken it then?

Ms. Nam's husband is outside

causing a disturbance.

-Wait! -Don't!

Why won't you tell us anything?

-Tell us. -Detective!

-Gung-cheol… -Detective.

Where's my wife?

We should talk.

The three of you should stay here.

My wife…

didn't do it.

Mr. An,

are you aware that your wife came here voluntarily?

She isn't here because we arrested her.

Yes, I know that.

That's only because my wife hates it when people get the wrong idea of her.

She didn't want the police to accuse her.

That must be why she came here.

We don't want to keep her here either,

but there are too many factors

that make her suspect.

What do you mean you suspect her?

My wife is and always has been the victim here!

Exactly!

That's why we need to investigate.

Go home, Mr. An.

Please know that you're not helping her by causing a scene.

We'll do our best to investigate, so please don't worry.

In this day and age, people hardly get framed

for a crime they didn't commit.

If she turns out to be innocent, we'll send her home.

So go home and take your friends with you.

Can I at least…

see how she's doing?

Please, Detective.

Let me at least see her.

Are you all right?

Of course, I'm fine.

I'm good, so take good care of Yu-bin.

Don't worry about him.

You should go now.

Right.

I will.

Are you…

Are you sure you're all right?

I already said that I am.

So stop worrying about me and go home.

All right, I got it.

I'll get going.

Gung-cheol.

Hang in there.

Got it.

Hey, Gung-cheol.

Don't you owe us an explanation?

He's been threatening Jeong-hae all this time?

Shit, what a psychopath.

He got what he deserved.

So?

Do the police suspect Jeong-hae as the murderer?

They're looking into every possibility,

but I'm telling you that she didn't do it.

How could she kill a person when she can barely hurt a fly?

But it's true that Jeong-hae went by his place.

It is,

but nothing happened.

The fact that she went to the police herself proves it.

Instead of just sitting around,

shouldn't we figure out who the real killer is?

And how can we possibly do that?

Are you saying we should do nothing when she's our friend?

We'll frame someone if we have to!

He's right. First,

let's put together a list of his enemies

and follow the person who seems most suspicious.

What do you say?

What if that's Jeong-hae or Gung-cheol?

That, I didn't think of.

Then what?

Just cut the crap already

and think rationally.

-How? -How?

For now,

let's take a few days to think about it.

The detectives

will have to send her home

if they find no evidence against her anyway.

-Where are you going? -Where are you going?

I have someplace to be, so I'll talk to you later.

Gung-cheol…

Why hasn't she asked for a lawyer yet?

She has the money to hire one of the best.

She's doing perfectly fine on her own though.

Why don't we get a warrant

and search her residence and workplace?

That would just be a waste of time and effort.

Do you truly believe that someone as smart as her

walked in here without a plan in mind?

Then what do we do?

Yes, this is Cho Tae-uk.

This is the forensics lab.

We've managed to restore some of Joo Gang-san's

text messages and photos.

Is that so? Then please send them over via fax.

JEONGRIP UROLOGY CLINIC

Doctor, should we begin the day?

In about 10 minutes.

All right, sir.

Yes, this is Jeong and Park Law Office.

Could you connect me to Mr. Jeong Jae-seok?

UNDER INVESTIGATION

My legs are shaking like crazy. I'm too scared to do this.

Same here, and it's getting hot for me.

Still, the criminal is known to always come back to the scene.

We'll catch whoever looks suspicious.

Right on.

I'm pissed off as it is,

so I can't imagine what Gung-cheol's going through.

Thinking about it makes me see red.

Thinking of it happening to my wife

made me so furious that I barely slept.

Why would you imagine something like that?

Men like him only approach rich ladies.

How would he know if she's rich or not?

It's not written on her face.

Disorderly conduct at the lobby of Ianpolis Block A.

Assistance required.

We're on our way.

I'm going to take a look inside.

Are you out of your mind?

What if the officers return?

There may be a clue that leads to the killer.

-Stand guard. -But Hyeong-u…

Hyeong-u!

Hyeong-u!

Jeez, I need to pee.

I caught the bastard!

Take that!

My arm…

What do you think you're doing?

We caught the killer.

Gung-cheol?

What are you people doing?

Well…

CALL HISTORY

The phone under Joo Gang-san's name

has no record of any calls, texts,

or photos between you two.

That means Mr. Joo had a second phone which we assume

is a burner.

That's probably the phone he used to blackmail you and your husband.

The murderer must have

taken both phones before disappearing.

That's our conclusion.

So why on earth

did the murderer take nothing else but those two phones?

Oh, wait. Those two phones and the trophy you struck him with.

Even though Mr. Joo had quite a number of valuables,

why did the murderer only take those three things?

That's what baffles me.

Could it be

the murderer was someone who had a reason to get rid of

the phones and trophy?

Are you

suspecting my husband?

I never said it had to be him.

I don't know who took the three items,

but who's to say it was even the murderer?

So you're saying

that your husband took those items to protect you,

but he didn't murder Mr. Joo.

That's what it sounds like to me.

Whatever.

How you interpret it is up to you.

Shouldn't you see a doctor for that?

How about some ointment?

Save it. No one sees a doctor over this.

I can apply the ointment at home.

Take a look at my eye.

I bet it's bloodshot. How does it look?

It seems fine to me.

You should've listened to me

instead of going inside to get your ass kicked.

I went there to catch the killer.

How could I have known that he was there?

Was this the urgent matter you mentioned?

I just thought it'd lead to something.

Thanks anyway.

Why thank us? We only caused a mess.

8:20 P.M. PICK UP YU-BIN FROM ACADEMY

I need to go.

Yu-bin's class ends soon.

Don't mind us and get going.

Come over if you can't be bothered to cook.

We're having bulgogi for dinner.

I'm not bothered at all. Anyway, see you around.

-Bye. -I'm sorry.

It's fine, so get going.

Damn it. My whole body aches.

How is it that he still packs a punch?

I'm worried about ending up sick tomorrow.

I can't believe you weren't able to strike back even once.

How did you even expect to catch the killer?

Is that really what you thought?

I didn't take the beating because I couldn't fight back.

Punching back could lead to an assault charge for me.

It's why I let myself take the beating

by letting my body go slack and laying flat.

I would've laid into him if I knew it was Gung-cheol.

Why did Gung-cheol

tell the police that he entered the unit with us

when he was lying in wait?

He probably didn't want to seem more suspicious than he already is.

As Jeong-hae's husband, he's already a person of interest

That makes sense.

It's been so long.

I'm sorry for not being in touch.

We're both busy, so don't apologize.

Anyway, what is this about?

You wouldn't have called me for no reason.

Mr. Jeong.

I heard you won the Crown Case. Congratulations.

Oh, please.

Not winning that case would've been embarrassing on our part.

I see it's the older brother

who has the more confidence.

Ms. Kang, your sweet talk has gotten better.

Let me know if you need anything more and enjoy your conversation.

Sure.

She's always the same, isn't she? That face, that body…

Here, let's drink.

Sure.

I'd like you to introduce me to the top lawyer at your firm.

The top lawyer at my firm? That's out of the blue.

CHAPTERS ENGLISH LIBRARY

MATH

From some point,

my life has become like hair

with gum stuck to it.

No matter what I do, I can't get it out.

In fact, other strands of hair stick to it instead…

making it a complete mess.

BAREUN STUDY ACADEMY

You're picking me up? That's unusual.

Dad?

Hey, Yu-bin.

Yu-bin.

What brings you by?

Isn't it obvious? I missed you.

But I'll see you at home, so why make the trip?

I know you're happy to see me, too.

How about we grab some burgers?

Sounds good. Let's go!

Bye, Yu-bin.

Bye, Mr. An.

Are you and that young lady close?

As if. We're not friends at all.

Why not? She's pretty, and she seemed nice.

Pretty as in how?

Besides, she's a real thug.

Her fists come out quicker than her words.

Getting on her bad side is how you end up dead.

In my eyes,

she seemed sweet.

Also, it seems to me that she likes you.

No way. I don't even want to imagine that.

I'd rather die alone than date her.

I never said anything about dating her.

-Dad! -I get it, so eat up.

When Mom finds out that you let me have a burger at this hour,

she won't be pleased.

Yu-bin, you see…

Well, tonight, your mom might not…

Mr. Park's been cooped up at home ever since that day.

It must've been traumatic for him.

He's what? Why?

Why would he be cooped up at home

when he's the one who said nasty things at me?

I got fired thanks to that.

-Why? -Isn't it obvious?

Because I'm friends with you,

and it's not like I could claim otherwise.

I'm already two months late on my rent which is killing me.

That rat bastard.

After what you did for him for all those years,

he fired you because we're friends?

What a prick.

Jang-hwan, don't you worry. I'll pay your rent instead.

Also, work on my upcoming movie with me.

Forget it. I know you barely have enough money yourself.

Besides, I'd rather do construction work than join the adult film industry.

What?

Jeez, that's sad.

You think joining the adult film industry is worse than construction work?

That reminds me. Did you hear the news?

-What news? -About that punk.

A few years ago, he hooked you up with a minor and blackmailed you for money.

Shit. Why would you bring him up and kill my vibe?

He died in his own bathroom.

ACCIDENT OR MURDER?

MAN IN HIS 20S MURDERED

-What's up? -What the hell?

Why did that startle you?

Were you looking at something inappropriate?

Don't be ridiculous.

I was only reading news articles.

Then why on earth are you stuttering?

Come clean while you have the chance.

I can find out, you know.

Gosh, I'm tired.

Jae-hoon said that exhaustion isn't good for prostate health.

So why were you on your phone

when I told you to sleep early? Go to sleep, all right?

Sure.

-Honey. -Yes?

You went to the sauna that night, right?

-What? -A couple of days ago, the five of you--

I mean, the four of you. You went to the sauna, right?

Of course. Why do you ask?

According to Gyeong-ja though,

Hyeong-u said he slept at Jae-hoon's place.

At Jae-hoon's?

That's odd.

I wonder why Hyeong-u lied. There's nothing wrong with saunas.

Oh, that.

We spent most of our time at Jae-hoon's place

and then went to the sauna.

Hyeong-u must've been mistaken.

I see. So that's what happened.

Thank God I stopped myself from getting on Gyeong-ja's nerves.

I really shouldn't when she gives me expensive cosmetics.

Expensive cosmetics? How much do they cost?

Don't bother to find out because it'll only hurt your ego.

As if I have an ego to get hurt. It's already been shredded into pieces.

Shredded into pieces?

Why would you say that about yourself?

-Why? -It's nothing. Let's just go to bed.

Come on, tell me. Why is your ego bruised?

Is something troubling you?

Of course not. It came out wrong.

Honey, you know you can tell me whatever it is that's bothering you.

What is it?

What's on your mind?

-Eun-sil. -Yes, what is it?

You being this way exhausts me the most.

What?

Got it.

What are you doing?

Just hold still.

I found this really effective massage that's good for the prostate.

It's fine. There's no need for that.

-Don't be shy! -No, I'm good.

-It won't take long. -Stop it, will you?

-Honestly, I'm good. -But honey--

-Jeez… -Honey! Are you all right?

My gosh.

Seriously. Him again?

Mr. An, what brings you back here?

Where's Detective Cho?

He's in a meeting. What's wrong?

What is this about?

What on earth is this?

-Stay still! -Crazy bastard!

I'll give you what you want, lady.

I bet you're loving this.

-Don't-- -Stay still!

I told you to stay still.

Stop right there!

Is this how it'll be?

Fine.

Let's see who ends up laughing at the end.

Who sent you this video?

It's from an unknown number.

I called the number, but the phone's been turned off.

-Check it out. -Yes, sir.

Now,

let my Jeong-hae go.

It's not that simple, sir.

No matter who sent it, it proves that my wife isn't the murderer.

So what could possibly be the issue?

-Mr. An-- -She has a stable job

and is not a flight risk.

You said you'd release her if she's innocent.

Isn't that what you said when you threw me out of here?

-That's-- -My Jeong-hae

is the kind of person

who will receive her punishment if found guilty.

The same goes for me, too.

So, please…

let her go home for today.

I'm begging you.

Why did you lie about hitting Mr. Joo on the head

with a trophy?

So we'd consider it in the event

your husband was the murderer?

I badly wanted to bash his head in

that I mistook it for reality.

That often happens to people.

Honey, are you all right?

Yes, I'm good.

Let's go home.

Just a second.

You should take this.

EVIDENCE

Thank you.

There's no need for that.

You should head home and get the rest you deserve.

HAJEONG SEOBU POLICE STATION

Where's Yu-bin?

I picked him up, bought him a burger,

and dropped him off at home.

He was told to wash up and go to bed.

Did you have to buy him a burger for dinner?

He was worried you'd be angry about that.

How about we…

get some fresh air?

Fresh air?

By Han River. What do you say?

Sounds good.

Aren't you Director Cho?

I was actually thinking about contacting you.

Have you been well?

Why would you contact me? Just get lost.

You shouldn't treat me like this, you know.

Not when I'm seriously considering deleting all those photos.

You prick!

Photos?

You said you deleted those.

How gullible are you?

There's this thing called "copying," you see.

Who'd be idiotic enough to make threats without copies?

Being the fool that you are

is exactly why I was able to scam you in the first place.

What did you just say?

Why did the police release me?

Isn't it obvious?

I threatened to blow the station up unless they let you go home.

I'm happy to see you smile.

It's been a rare sight lately.

That'll change starting today.

I honestly thought that paying him would solve the issue.

It's why I went to see him.

How naive of me.

There's no need to blame yourself.

Jeong-hae, you only did your best in that situation.

His cell phone is missing.

So I heard.

He had a second phone

which is also missing.

Was it you…

who took it?

It wasn't me.

But the necklace. You took it with you.

I took the necklace, but not the phone.

I never even saw it.

Then who could've taken it?

And why?

Jeong-hae.

Let's not think about this anymore.

Who took the phone and who the murderer is

are for the police to figure out.

So…

let's just consider this as a nightmare that lasted all night.

Once we wake up in the morning, we'll forget it ever happened.

So let's forget about it all, think of only positive things,

and start over.

How's that?

All right.

I'll try.

It's been 14 days since his death.

The murderer

still hasn't been identified.

It was a perfect crime. No prints left at the scene.

Who was this person and why did they commit this murder?

And why would they take the phone

that had photos of my wife naked?

And why did he send me the video of the victim

and my wife?

Neat suits.

The warm afternoon sun.

They may seem peaceful,

but they could have secrets which they can't reveal to anyone.

Just like Jeong-hae and I, who have been

living a more than peaceful life that can actually shatter at any moment

since the day of his death.

JOO GANG-SAN, NO NEXT-OF-KIN

We assume the murderer was already in the apartment

witnessing the entire incident.

What we know

is that the murderer was someone close to Nam Jeong-hae.

Whoever this was, dearly cared for Ms. Nam.

Lastly, it's obvious that this person is quite meticulous.

The suspect is

close to Nam Jeong-hae and has a connection to the victim.

It's why we'll be focusing on those

who are both connected to Joo Gang-san and Nam Jeong-hae.

A 10-MINUTE GAP?

CALLED JOO GANG-SAN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE HIS DEATH

Get wasted to the point of blacking out again

and I won't forgive you.

And what if you don't? Will you end my life?

Unbelievable. Does it seem like I'm joking to you?

Is this what I get for cutting you slack when you're in a slump?

I'm not getting any younger, you know.

You're all that I have to rely on, so why are you trying to upset me?

Are things not good with Dad?

That's not it.

Ji-uk, you see,

your dad may be immature, but he never once

lied or slept out.

A few days ago though,

he stayed out overnight and then lied about it.

He was wasted, too.

Could your dad be having an affair?

Don't be ridiculous. Why would he step out on you?

Right? Why would he want another woman

when he's married to someone like me?

I meant that he's aware of your temper

and isn't bold enough to risk his life.

What did you just say?

Just a second.

-Yes? -Ji-uk, have you been well?

Who is this?

It's me, Kang Mi-ra.

How did you get my number?

How do you think?

Gang-san told me.

Gang-san told you?

When?

I called and asked him the day after we slept together.

Were you going to pop a virgin's cherry and then ghost her?

What? Pop what?

-Me? -Whatever.

Buy me a drink if you're sorry.

Hold on, I never said I was sorry.

Besides, I've quit alcohol.

I never told you to drink, too. It'll be just for me.

I'm only telling you because it seems like you're clueless,

but Gang-san's dead.

I know that. It's why we should get together and mourn him.

I thought you were done with this industry,

-so what are you doing back here? -Hey, there.

I never said I was leaving.

Who'd hold this field together if not you and me?

Forgive me, all right?

We've been friends for so long

for you to misunderstand me over some meaningless words.

Jeez, I'm loving this title.

I'm already hooked and dying to film it.

Sorry to say this, but you can't.

Must you be this way?

Ae-ra is the female lead.

Ae-ra?

-What does that have to do-- -She doesn't want to work with you.

What? The brat said that?

You've got to be kidding me.

Who is she to choose directors?

That ungrateful brat.

I won't direct it if she's the lead anyway.

I decline, damn it.

Then we have nothing more to say, so get going.

What if I talked to the brat?

Bring me my husband!

I want my husband!

Ms. Gu, please stop!

Please calm down!

Bring me my husband!

-Please calm down. -My husband!

Get away from me!

My husband

isn't dead.

He said

we'd go

and live in America together.

I need

to make him doenjang soup.

Is this the best we can do at our age?

Don't say that to me

when I'm already letting down my prestigious family.

My family may not be prestigious, but I am the eldest son.

Your parents disowned you,

so you're like a stranger to them now.

Unbelievable.

Must you be so cruel and kick it where it hurts?

But it's the truth.

So you're suggesting we go hiking on Man-sik's birthday?

Yes, we can celebrate his birthday

and clear our heads while we're at it.

Count me in.

Me, too.

I'll pass.

I'm sorry. I'd like to join you guys, too,

but I have an important meeting that day.

Man-sik will be disappointed, but what can you do?

It only means something if we go together.

Must you always betray us like this?

Let him be. Man-sik knows how he is anyway.

Let's just go by ourselves.

Let's raise our glasses and agree to gather here at 4 a.m.

-Fly. -Fly.

Fly.

At least join us for this.

-Fly. -Phoenix!

You're going hiking in this hot weather?

Sweating helps to cool you down.

And you feel refreshed after.

I'll say this as a doctor then.

At your age, sweating too much

could lead to a seizure brought on by dehydration.

That's more than a doctor's opinion. It hit right where it hurts.

We'll be too afraid to go on a hike now.

Tell Man-sik that I said hi.

I will.

I'm golfing with a business associate tomorrow.

It's not a lie this time, so don't worry.

Right.

Hey. You're right on time.

I apologize for not getting here before you.

Don't be ridiculous. It's not like you were late or anything.

Besides, with old age comes less sleep.

-Let's get going then. -Sure.

He's admirable as well as polite.

You'll benefit from personally knowing him.

Right, thank you for this.

Dr. Jeong, I see you got here before us.

It's been a while, ma'am.

How is it that you've only gotten more handsome?

You must be aging backward.

Dr. Nam, say hello.

He's the youngest son of Jeong Seok-gi,

the soon-to-be director of Yeongang University Hospital.

I'm Nam Jeong-hae.

Hi, I'm Jeong Jae-hoon. I hope we get along.

You haven't changed at all.

Oh, please.

It seems like we'll be taking notes from you today.

-Well, shall we? -Sure thing.

Gung-cheol!

Gung-cheol!

Can you please slow down?

Jae-hoon, that bastard.

He knew

how hard the hike would be and lied about having a meeting.

That smart prick.

If I had known, I would've come up with a lie too.

He's killing us.

Gung-cheol!

We don't want to die.

Gung-cheol!

You must've spent your free time practicing your swings.

Good job.

Goodness.

Oh, dear.

It wasn't so bad.

The ball must go that way, so keep your stance toward it.

Don't lose your focus.

Got it?

Hey… You prick!

Are you sure we're still alive?

You… This was stupid.

Gung-cheol!

Man-sik!

Man-sik!

Are you seeing this?

I kept our promise.

The hike was absolutely exhausting.

I thought I might actually drop dead.

But whenever I turned around to head back down,

I saw you.

It's why I mustered all my strength to reach the top.

Did you know

that Su-a…

only studied hard to please you?

So that

you could take pride in it.

So that you could brag and gloat.

It's why she studied so hard.

So…

don't say that life is boring

and that yours took a wrong turn.

Don't you dare spew such nonsense

and…

stay strong over there.

Live a good afterlife, you jerk.

I will on my end, too.

No matter what life throws at me,

I'll…

power through,

so watch me from up there.

Promise me you will!

Man-sik!

Man-sik…

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday, dear Man-sik -Happy birthday, dear Man-sik

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

THE LATE CHUN MAN-SIK

My body's aching all over, but my head couldn't be clearer.

The perfect end to this day would be a drink at the Outlaws.

I'm actually glad we went on this hike. Thanks, Gung-cheol.

Don't mention it. In fact, I should thank you two instead.

I know it was exhausting today.

I'm grateful and all that,

but let's not do that again any time soon.

Hey!

What the hell?

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

Look at all this.

A new owner must've taken over.

Whoever it is must be a romantic.

Look, Chun-bok. What I wrote is still here.

CHUN-BOK THE FOOL

We're not open yet.

No way.

Can you believe it?

She keeps me up at night, you know.

I think I'm in love.

Look at that.

Incredible, right?

Hey, what are you all doing?

Is this for real?

That was really Hae-suk, wasn't it?

What's your real reason for being here?

It's probably the same as to why you still live here.

Find me the president of the theater club at Yeongang University at that time.

Are you that thrilled?

I haven't been this excited in a long time.

Are you that afraid of Hae-suk?

But I can see why you're anxious.

Since you were the cause of that horrific incident.

I heard you two studied together in the US.

Did nothing happen between you two?

Do you still hate me even after 15 years?
