IT'S OBVIOUSLY PARK YEON-JIN BITCH WHO'LL END UP IN A DITCH
[laughs]
OBVIOUSLY PARK YEON-JIN
SR LEE WAS INFAMOUS IN PARIS
OMG IT'S PARK YEON-JIN AW CRAP MY STOCKS
[elevator chimes]
[banging at door]
[officer] Lee Sa-ra, this is the police!
- Oh, shit. Fuck! - [officer] Open the door!]
People everywhere are starting to talk about the news.
People are.
[winces]
Hey, what's the point of having a doctor
if you don't let me help?
Have you been waiting all morning
just to treat my cut?
Come on.
You know how I am.
I was so worried.
A little scratch had you that worried?
Yeah, it did. What, you gonna sue me?
[chuckles, winces]
Maybe I should sue.
[chuckles] You didn't want it treated.
[sighs] Because it's so embarrassing.
Is my mother still calling and texting you?
Uh, we don't need to talk about that.
We should talk about all the good things, no?
Have you had breakfast yet? I can make us something.
Uh, come on now.
- You think my cooking's that bad? - Hey, don't do that, you know what I mean.
When it rains, your house feels like a cup someone dropped a fizzy tablet into.
[Yeo-jeong] Don't change the subject. Hey! Put that pan down and talk to me.
[woman] She showed up here, soaked from the rain and shivering.
Then she fell asleep.
I called her mother, but she couldn't get her.
I was just so worried.
Get up.
Why would you come here?
[Yeon-jin] I had nowhere else to go.
Did you see what's online? About me?
[Do-yeong] Of course. So did all my employees.
Do you want to leave me now?
There are more pressing matters.
We're going straight to the office.
The lawyers are on their way.
Thank you, babe.
I have to handle what's most urgent.
I just need to stop our stocks from crashing.
I don't have time to decide if I'm leaving you.
THE GLORY
Can you please state definitively whether or not you are
"Weather Forecaster A" in this online post?
Do you have any information about who could have written this post?
Read this carefully, and point out any facts you can confirm.
Can you prove this is about me?
If you can't prove it...
it's not about me, then.
Are you saying this post is about someone else?
What do you think?
If we take action, we'll just be putting a spotlight on this whole thing.
Maybe keeping quiet is the way.
I understand how the public thinks,
better than lawyers.
[tense music playing]
[lawyer] Get through 48 hours, and you'll be fine.
Wait for the warrant, then you can do the urine and hair tests.
Even if you get sentenced, you'll probably get probation.
So just keep your mouth shut, understand?
I know! Fuck!
I'm the victim here, okay?
Someone else did this to me!
So you need to get more than these two assholes
to handle this, okay, Dad?
What the fuck were you thinking? Idiot.
- [knock at door] - [door opens]
Ms. Lee, we'll be conducting a few tests. We need a urine sample.
You have a warrant?
If you don't have a warrant, no urine.
It seems like you know a lot for a first-time offender.
I'm not giving you shit. Fuck you.
You wanted me to rush. I'm surprised you showed up late.
[chuckles] You know, life's unpredictable.
Show me what you found.
Nothing was erased from this.
There's nothing to be examined.
This hard drive is totally new.
What the hell are you talking about? We've used that hard drive for years.
Maybe somebody swapped it.
If it's erased, you can recover it, but not if it's swapped out.
What are you trying to find?
[Hye-jeong] Where are you? Are you free today?
This isn't about Yeon-jin or Sa-ra.
I found out something very interesting about Myeong-o.
[Myeong-o] You know that asshole Jae-jun?
I did everything for that bastard.
I drive for him. I keep him company. I act like I'm his friend.
And you probably know I didn't go to college.
But I basically went there. Signed his attendance.
So it really hurts my fucking pride to only be called a driver.
[Yeon-jin] Get on with it. You're pissing me off.
This sounds like Myeong-o's threatening Yeon-jin, doesn't it?
[Myeong-o] If I were him, I'd have spent all my time
becoming a director at Jaepyeong,
instead of fucking you.
What?
That's where the recording ends. It cut out in the middle.
Play it from the beginning. Play it again.
When he's talking about alcohol?
[Myeong-o whistling]
"Pommar-dee"?
Pommard...
What's this?
"Savvy," "Sauvi"...
Fuck, I can't even read this.
[bottles clinking]
Which one's the most expensive?
I'm not gonna drink a fucking cheap one.
Shit, whatever.
Okay.
This one looks pretty good.
Pommard, Sauvignon and Almaviva.
Which one?
I have a dinner tonight. With Do-yeong.
What?
What's going on?
Did that asshole take a bunch of your booze, too?
Have you played this for anyone else?
Not yet. You're the only one.
[delicate, inscrutable music playing]
Can you raise an eight-year-old?
Are you insane?
Whose kid?
Mine.
You have a child?
Yeah.
But she's with Yeon-jin now.
What are you talking about?
You're talking about Ye-sol? Ha Ye-sol?
Jeon Ye-sol.
What? Join me.
That's an interesting way to propose to someone.
Why would I not want to raise her?
Of course we should bring her here, because she's your daughter.
Get in.
[chuckles]
[low, sensual music playing]
[Hye-jeong] You know you're a fucking asshole, right?
[Jae-jun] I know.
Are you making kimchi? Little late this year!
- [both chuckle] - Yeah. I've been so busy recently.
[clerk] Mm-hmm.
MS. MOON DONG-EUN
Okay.
[Dong-eun] June 16th, 1987. 1:10 a.m. Yoon So-hee.
[clerk] That'll be 43,800.
Wait, hold on. Are you wearing makeup?
Oh, no. Did I put on too much?
- No! - [both laughing]
My husband is getting better.
He wants to stop drinking and start working harder. I believe him.
Truly? Aw, that's great.
I'm so happy for you. Aw. [laughs]
Let me tell you something.
He was never my favorite customer, but I was starting to get worried.
It was weird he stopped showing up.
Where's Sun-a? I haven't seen her around either.
Where is she?
With my mom.
Is that because of her dad?
That's good. For the best.
Oh, you overpaid! Here.
Uh, I'll just take this, then.
Hey, you don't have to do that! Come on.
You look pretty! You should wear makeup every day!
Oh, come on, now!
Thanks, have a good night!
[chuckles]
[somber, pensive music playing]
- [crying] - [young Sa-ra] Hey, Gyeong-ran.
You gonna keep crying all night long?
[Myeong-o] Fuck. You're so goddamn loud.
[panicked whimpering]
Shh. Girl, if you scream again...
- Huh? - [Myeong-o laughs]
Dong-eun?
She must be crazy. I can't believe she came back here.
You saw me with Myeong-o
when I met him at the boutique.
You recognized me, right?
[Myeong-o] Water, coffee or booze?
[Dong-eun] Coffee.
You could have told Yeon-jin you saw me.
Yeah, so?
Just get to the point. Why are we both here?
You saw the post,
right?
I think we both know who did that to So-hee.
I came after So-hee.
- And after me it was-- - Shut up.
So what?
You want me to testify?
I don't. I'm asking you not to do anything.
I've been watching Siesta for a long time.
That's how I know you used to live there.
But on October 20th you moved to a small apartment across the street.
And that's when Yeon-jin stopped doing her fittings at Siesta.
At the same time Myeong-o disappeared.
Who cares about that son of a bitch?
Why are you talking to me about any of this?
Because I think you already know
Son Myeong-o is dead.
[low note plays]
It's our chance to release ourselves from their grip.
So don't get in my way.
No matter what you saw, what you heard or what you know,
don't do anything.
We both know Myeong-o was...
murdered by Yeon-jin.
Right, Gyeong-ran?
[breathes shakily]
[knocking at door]
- Hey, man! - Whoa, look at all this!
Oh, shit! It's "Director Joo" now!
- [chuckles] - Oh, damn!
Wow.
What do you need this for? You trying to leave this job?
That'd be crazy!
I'm just looking!
WORKING EXPERIENCE CERTIFICATE
Let's go eat. What food do you want?
Are you crazy? We're getting some beef!
[clicks tongue] Everyone keeps calling me crazy.
Ah, did I get mail that got sent to the hospital?
Some people don't have my new one yet.
Come on, you couldn't bring them with you?
Those letters aren't coming to the hospital anymore,
since the director found out.
My mom found out.
I wondered if she did.
Can you keep this between us?
Just tell me what's going on. What is it? You really trying to leave this cushy job?
I'll tell you later, huh? I swear I'll tell you everything later.
Want some drinks? Get day-drunk?
After you, my good sir.
[Yeo-jeong, friend] Cheers!
[friend] Cheers, man.
Semyeong really is the perfect place for day drinking.
- Another? - Okay.
[no audible dialogue]
We meet again.
I guess we do.
[breathes deeply]
What's wrong?
Does how I play remind you of someone you've faced before?
She's good at marking your stones and protecting hers.
And she's so calm and quiet.
You end up being so entranced,
you don't even realize your house is ruined.
Hmm.
I learned how to play Go from my father.
It's exactly the way I explained
when I taught Dong-eun.
She said she wanted to beat someone.
So, are you helping her?
I have no reason to stop her.
I don't understand.
What don't you get?
I don't know what the relationship is between you two,
but if you care about her, shouldn't you try to stop her?
Whatever she hopes to gain from this
can't be worth the obsession she has with her past.
When you think about a victim and everything they lose,
how much can they really expect to get back in the end?
[bittersweet, contemplative music playing]
Maybe just their own honor and glory.
Enough to move on.
Some people get those back practicing forgiveness,
but others get them through revenge.
And only then can their lives really start.
Dong-eun's entire life has been frozen since she was 19.
And I've decided to help Dong-eun get her life back.
All she really wants...
is to finish what she started and to finally find some happiness.
Don't misunderstand me.
I also want Dong-eun to find happiness.
I'm glad.
She deserves it.
[music trails off]
[Yeong-ae] That's not about Yeon-jin.
You trust some tabloid?
I'm almost home. Talk to you later.
[chilling music plays]
Looks like she just recognized me.
He knows where I live. Oh my God!
[phone chimes]
NEW MESSAGE
[Seok-jae] Think your daughter's only killed one person?
You're wrong. She's killed two.
It was good to see you just now.
[panicked scream]
[music intensifies]
Two?
[phone ringing]
MOM
[tense music playing]
I'm with the Post Daily. You're Park Yeon-jin?
- Did you see the post about bullying? - Some people believe that the "A" is you.
It's not about me.
- Are you formally stating it's not you? - Will Jaepyeong release a statement?
You graduated from Sunghan High, right?
Did you see the video of your classmate, Lee Sa-ra?
[reporter] Please give a statement.
Hey, hey, stop!
[indistinct clamoring]
[music trails off]
Prove it then.
Do you... have some proof?
You have no idea.
[Gyeong-ran] What are you doing?
Jae-jun called to ask about the security camera.
He wants to know who changed the hard drive and why.
He took it with him to have it examined by an expert.
You want to change the hard drive?
Please don't make me repeat it to you.
I popped in here yesterday, and Do-yeong might drop by here soon.
I hear it's better to change it, right?
Do-yeong can just be so meticulous.
I didn't know that.
Well, now you do.
Don't mention this to Jae-jun.
Yeah.
[Yeon-jin] The security footage is gone, enough time has passed now,
and the body has been buried.
There's no way that Mr. Shin is going to talk.
No matter what you may have heard, you can't prove anything, Dong-eun.
[Gyeong-ran] What should I tell Jae-jun?
Just say it was me.
Let's do fittings here again. You should bring my clothes over.
[shaman] Ms. Kang Hyeon-nam?
[shaman vocalizing]
[intoning sonorously] June 16, 1987.
What a sad life.
Everything so unfamiliar and strange.
Like a tiny boat floating on an endless ocean.
This is a heartbreaking life.
Yeah. When she was young, she was bullied at school very badly.
I must soothe her. She was born to such a terrible destiny.
This destiny is not yours. Whose is it?
Uh, I guess even a shaman can't figure that out?
The spirit of the General tells me
to throw out the ungrateful woman talking back!
Yoon So-hee. This destiny is hers.
[bells jangling]
Her name is Yoon So-hee, and she was born in 1987.
Yes, General, show us what you know!
[shaman vocalizing]
I'm tired.
Oh, I'm so tired and heartbroken.
My job is awful, and my family is giving me so much trouble.
Be careful with documents this year! You could get scammed.
Oh wow, you're incredible.
He wants to do it. He wants to do it. The General wants to perform a ritual.
He's asking for a very, very big ritual to be performed.
The ritual will have to be very big.
Is that okay?
Of course.
If this changes her destiny, then I'll do it 100 times.
Do a big ritual. Something massive.
- [shaman vocalizing] - [bells jangling]
Oh, I'm sorry!
No need to help me. Just go.
Ugh, this is unbelievable.
PERSONAL INFORMATION LEE SEOK-JAE
[haunting, suspenseful music plays]
- Didn't I read this guy's destiny already? - Yeah, you did.
I want you to read his face.
Is he really destined for a short life?
- Who is this guy? - Please, ma'am.
Can we just do a ritual?
I just need you to give this asshole a push.
I need to go pray. You should go.
I may not be as powerful as I used to be, but I'll get punished for that.
BEOLJEON: GOD'S DEADLIEST PUNISHMENT IN KOREAN SHAMANISM
You would've been punished already.
Just think about all the girls you've pimped out
- while using their destinies as bait. - Watch it! You're out of line.
Hear me out, I just need a favor.
What about you? You could use a bigger sanctum, right?
This asshole, he wants me to give him a billion won.
And so I'm asking you right now
if that billion won should go to this asshole or go to you.
You said his life is short.
A billion won?
[phone ringing]
BITCH WHO'LL END UP IN A DITCH
Yes, hello ma'am?
[Yeon-jin] What has Hye-jeong been up to?
She's ghosting me.
Yeah, okay.
For a while now, she's been seeing someone, you know.
Who are you talking about?
Right. For the last few days, Hye-jeong has been at Jeon Jae-jun's.
And she goes to work from his place.
Wait, what?
GROOM-TO-BE
Baby, no matter how much I think about it, I feel like I'm not good enough for you.
But thanks for everything.
I mailed the ring back to you today, express delivery.
I hope you'll meet someone better than me and be very happy together.
BLOCK CONTACT
[sighs]
[door alert chiming]
Jun?
[footsteps approaching]
[dark, provocative music playing]
[snide laugh]
So, you are here.
Yeah. What?
I'm with Jae-jun now. We're getting married.
Good for you.
Tell me why you called me over to that plastic surgeon's.
Dr. Joo Yeo-jeong. That one.
He's the son of the director of Joo General Hospital, right?
Is he really? Oh, I had no idea.
Oh, you're right. Same last name.
You think he's working with Dong-eun?
Shouldn't you know that already?
Because you're clearly working with her too.
She had you get me there, didn't she?
What else has Dong-eun told you to do?
Did you come here just to ask me that?
I'm shocked that that's what you're worried about...
[laughs] ...when everyone is tearing you apart online.
- You better watch it. - Why?
'Cause I'm not under your thumb anymore?
You have no idea what I have planned.
Fuck off.
Fuck off?
Jae-jun's been ghosting you, right?
You should wake the fuck up, Yeon-jin.
Because there's a reason Jae-jun is ignoring you.
I bought him this shirt.
It looks better on him.
[laughs]
Here, all yours. We done?
[chuckling]
That's a nice boob job.
JONGNO POLICE STATION
- [Sa-ra] Can I have a hair tie? - Yeah. Here.
Ugh. Fuck.
My scalp's so itchy.
You look like you're on some American TV show,
with that blonde hair.
It's as brassy as these bars.
Shut the fuck up, huh?
Where's everyone else?
[sighs] They're not gonna come, honey.
- Yeon-jin, for sure. - Why won't she come?
You don't know?
Right, you were too busy getting arrested.
Hey bitch, cut to the chase. What are you talking about?
Someone exposed Yeon-jin, but it got buried by a story about you.
An article about your art exhibition being used for tax evasion.
It's too perfect to be a coincidence.
It's like she used you to bury her story.
[harsh, overwhelming music playing]
[rapid knocking]
[man] Excuse me, can I photograph some pieces?
It'll only take a moment, okay?
[woman] Come on, let's go.
[music trails off]
Sorry I missed your text, ma'am. Here's money for my HOA fees.
I was beginning to think you ran away.
I've only been seeing your mother at your place.
There have been several noise complaints.
Can I ask you why, when my mother first came looking for me...
Why didn't you tell her that I was living there?
[sighs]
I think that there should be at least one person on your side.
Families can be complicated.
They say that families are determined by the heavens.
That said, you shouldn't try to shoulder all that burden by yourself.
And sometimes, even the heavens can make mistakes.
Don't be late next month.
SENDER: KANG YEONG-CHEON CHEONGSONG PRISON
RECIPIENT: JOO YEO-JEONG SEOUL JOO GENERAL HOSPITAL
CHEONGSONG PRISON
MEDICAL OFFICER KIM JIN-HUN
[door opens]
[chuckles] Asshole.
How long has it been, man?
It's been three years since I was a medical officer.
Salute.
So, how have you been?
Well, how do you think I've been? I spend all day with scary people.
Still, you're by far the scariest guy that I've seen this year.
[chuckles]
Give me the papers.
I've covered all my bases.
But it's still probably going to need a little nudge from you.
[Jin-hun chuckles]
When I first met you,
I figured the whole world must feel like your playground.
Must be nice to buy houses and cars
like you're running to the convenience store for milk.
So, when a guy like you called me looking for a job,
I'll admit I was surprised.
Well, thank you again for putting in a good word for me.
- When are you leaving the country? - I'll leave after I train my replacement.
Your application might get rejected.
I heard it's up to the warden to decide, but they're short-staffed.
You know, his case is pretty infamous.
And the warden definitely knows.
It has to be me.
I'm finally continuing my father's work.
[Yeong-cheon] Joo Yeo-jeong?
Doctor Joo?
[low, unsettling music playing]
[Yeong-cheon] Even now, that day remains in my memory,
vivid as if it were yesterday.
The scent of his blood in my nostrils.
That slicing sound as the knife pierced his throat.
The heat of his blood as it dripped down my hands.
And even the look on his face as the life left his eyes.
You know who I am, Dr. Joo?
I'm a little hurt you never wrote back.
Of course I know you.
You're the reason that my entire life is a living hell.
I knew you'd recognize me when we met again.
This place is nice.
But it's so boring.
[alarm ringing]
I have a question for you.
Why'd you do it?
You said you remember everything so vividly, like it happened yesterday.
Why did you kill the man who saved your life?
How can you...
How can you live with yourself?
[music trails off]
Oh, I'm having so much fun.
Will we see each other again?
[guard blowing whistle]
3724, back away from the fence now.
No talking to visitors.
Back away!
I'll see you again.
And next time I do,
I'll show you the hell that is my life.
And then after that,
I'll introduce you to the hell that you'll be living in.
Until that day comes...
take care of yourself.
We won't have any time to drink that coffee.
The shaman said it would only work if we do it at the time she told us.
[Yeong-jun] You should dry your hair.
What are you doing?
Hey!
What do you want in life?
What the fuck?
Whatever you want,
make sure you leave me out of it from now on.
And you should buy a new phone.
[phone buzzing]
[scoffs] Listen, man.
NAMYANGJU LOTTERY SHOP
I made the shaman's work effective! I blocked your evil energy!
Yeah, what?
On my way.
"Blocking evil energy," my ass!
It was sold? The funeral home?
To who? And when?
Oh, I really have no idea.
They only told me after the deal was done.
Anyway, about that body.
You should probably take care of it pretty soon.
Hey.
Are you serious right now?
How's your business nowadays?
- Lot of customers? - What?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Sure, uh, all thanks to you. Thanks for your concern.
Yeah, that's right.
That's all that you had to say.
Did you say anything else?
Of course not! Because I'd get in trouble too.
[lotto clerk] I told him what you told me to say.
I'm just working till the end of this month,
so now obviously they're going to have to get rid of it.
Okay, good work. Call me when you get their schedule.
[keypad beeping]
[door opens]
Ah.
Which recipe did you use to make this?
The one at the top of the search results.
Of course you did.
[slurps]
Where'd you go today?
Somewhere far.
Let me look at that cut.
If we had met
under other circumstances,
in a different situation,
what would our relationship be like?
[soft, gentle Korean pop ballad playing]
Exactly the same.
I would have fallen for you, no matter how we met each other.
Ninety-nine percent.
Why leave out 1%?
'Cause it couldn't get any better than this.
Hmm. It's healing perfectly.
I'm holding you hostage.
Say that the noodles were good.
There's no way I'd say it wasn't good when I know how hard you're trying.
[ballad trailing off]
Are you going somewhere, Ms. Moon?
Ha Ye-sol.
If you need me to, I will apologize to you
until the day that I die.
Why?
Because you truly deserve
an apology.
Goodbye, Ye-sol.
[soft, melancholy music playing]
[phone trills]
[line ringing]
[line connects]
Good work, Mom. You did it. You got what you wanted.
I quit my job at the school.
I'm coming over, and I want you out.
[Choi] Excuse me, Ms. Park?
I'm not doing interviews.
[Choi] I'm from the police.
You're hard to get ahold of.
I know you check your text messages, but you never returned my calls.
How can I help the police?
The night of October 19th, can you tell me where you were?
[Yeon-jin] A detective came,
asking about October 19th.
HONG YEONG-AE
I told him I was broadcasting, but what do I do now?
Did you know they were starting an investigation?
You didn't check, did you? Can you stop this or what?
No.
No, I can't.
What the hell have you been doing?
Are you done?
For one second, let's not talk about you.
I'm retiring.
I want to move somewhere warm and play golf all day.
I've heard Hawaii's pretty cool.
[scoffs]
You decided to retire? In this mess?
Messy as it is,
I can retire on someone else's dime now.
Why should I leave, huh?
I'm not going anywhere!
Try to make me leave, you fucking bitch! Try!
Why the hell did you quit your job?
You could have made so much money if you just held out!
Do whatever the fuck you want,
because you could never be a teacher anyways.
Fuck you, you stupid bitch.
And I see you. I see the way you look at my boyfriend.
How dare you try to steal my man, you bitch!
He left because he's a nice guy, way better than you deserve.
But I swear if you were anyone else,
I would've slapped you across the face.
God, I never should have had you.
Everyone told me to get an abortion,
but I gave birth to you anyway,
and I gave you everything!
I'm sorry!
I'm just a terrible fucking sinner!
[grunts, pants]
You're the one who destroyed our relationship for a little bit of cash.
Get out!
Fuck you, you little fucking whore!
I should've killed you.
Kill me! Do it!
That's the only shot you have at ever controlling me again.
- [sizzling meat pops] - [screams]
[callous laughter]
[scissors clang]
I think you're scared of the fire, aren't you?
I want a house in Hawaii and some cash.
From the kindness of your heart, of course. It's only fair.
Since I'm not quite retirement age, I need a healthy retirement package.
[disbelieving scoff]
What makes you think I'm actually going to do that for you?
Because Son Myeong-o's body
hasn't been buried yet.
What are you saying?
[dispatcher] 71-1 Seonghan-dong, Jongno-gu. An unidentified body ...
Let's go.
I repeat, a body has been found. We need an officer at the scene.
Unit One is en route.
[siren wailing]
[all clamoring]
[dark, suspenseful music playing]
I'll never fucking forgive you.
REASON FOR WITHDRAWAL: MALADJUSTMENT
[Dong-eun] And the reason I'll never forgive you...
GUARDIAN: JEONG MI-HEE
...is because you still can't see
that you were the first person who betrayed me!
[cackling]
Don't laugh. Don't laugh at me.
Stop fucking laughing!
What are you gonna do if I keep laughing?
Okay!
I have an idea.
You and I should die in this shithole together,
right now!
Here! How's this, you bitch?
[Mi-hee shrieking with laughter]
Tell me that you're sorry.
Beg me to forgive you! Do it!
Right now!
I wanna thank you, Mom.
Don't ever change.
You'll always be the same. [sobbing with laughter]
You'll always be my mom.
[wails]
