[Madame Antoine Project Pilot Study Blueprint]
[Male Subject C: Won Ji Ho]
[Male Subject B: Choi Seung Chan]
[Male Subject A: Choi Soo Hyun]
[Main Subject: Go Hye Rim]
I guess you're really busy. I'm already here and waiting.
You terrible bastard!
You call yourself a human being? Huh?
All that ever comes out of your mouth are lies, you bastard!
Just how much did you deceive me, you bastard?
[Episode 10]
Did something happen? You don't look happy.
Who, me? What do you mean?
I feel great!
Um... I got a huge group at the cafe all of a sudden
too much for just one of my workers, I think I have to go and help out.
Oh, really? Then, I'll drive you--
It's only five minutes away by walking.
I have to stop by the grocery store on the way home, too
so I'll just head out by myself.
But even so, it's cold...
It's okay. It's really not far if I run.
Um...
For you. Here.
You said that you wanted to eat it before, right?
[New Message to: Won Ji Ho, Choi Seung Chan]
Won Ji Ho. Choi Seung Chan. See me at the cafe in five minutes!
Where's my combat gear? Combat gear!
Hye Rim!
I heard that the guy you're dating is a phony!
I know.
No, you don't!
Choi Soo Hyun, Choi Seung Chan, and Won Ji Ho
approached you pretending that they liked you--
I said I know!
Clean your ears out and really listen to me!
That guy, Choi Soo Hyun, who you're dating right now
- is only pretending to... - I know, goddammit!
How many freaking times do I have to tell you, already?
Get out instead of trying to make me more upset.
Why are you yelling at someone who was just worried about you?
I ran all the way here just to tell you--
Ran over here? Yeah, right. I bet you're just so pleased right now.
You're so happy that the Ji Ho you have a crush on only pretended to like me--
What the hell are you saying?
How could I be happy about this, no matter how much I liked Ji Ho--
You were always jealous of me!
You said crap like how Mom and Dad only ever loved me
and how guys only ever were interested in me!
You're that happy that Ji Ho's feelings for me were a lie?
You're not even considering just how much your sister was deceived
and you're so damn happy about how you can finally claim Ji Ho, so...
Hey!
What the hell do you take me for to be saying that kind of crap?
I just came back from pouring a pint all over Won Ji Ho!
I'm sure you were just pretending.
You have to act like you're a little bit pissed so that...
Hey! You're a lot more messed up than I thought you were, aren't you?
Fine, I think I get it now.
You're being punished.
A bitch like you deserves to have something like this happen to you!
What did you say?
You really think it's appropriate to be saying that to me right now?
You were so damn happy that all these guys were going crazy for you...
but you ended up looking so pathetic in the end.
Just keep living your life thinking however you want!
Hey, Go Yoo Rim!
Even you are going to make me upset like this, too?
Ms. Go. Two of the workers from the center are here.
Won Ji Ho and Choi Seung Chan are here?
Yes.
- Close the cafe. - Excuse me?
Lock the door so that those bastards can't escape!
I know about everything now.
What do you mean?
What do you think, honey? Take a guess.
You... opened the safe?
You think you have the right to say that right now?
Kneel. Both of you. Now!
I'm sorry, Go Hye Rim. I--
How dare you use informal speech with me?
It's true that that was the case in the beginning.
It's true that I approached you after my Big Bro told me to, but
I really, actually grew to like you as time passed...
I don't want to hear it.
I want to know all the details.
Won Ji Ho... you're a genius so you have it memorized, right?
Spill.
On August 30, 2014, Dr. Choi finished the blueprint for the experiment
and on April 1, 2015, the preliminary experiment with subject Lee Kyung Joo
- began... - Just skip through what I know already!
On December 10, 2015, it was confirmed that
the second preliminary experiment would be carried out.
And on December 16, Male Subject C Won Ji Ho joined in.
On December 23, Seung Chan joined in as Male Subject B.
What do you mean, "joined in?" I was forced to by my brother!
But you were the one who decided to partake in it.
You said you needed money.
That's not true. I wasn't going to do it, but...
Tell me the rest.
On December 26, Dr. Choi joined in as Male Subject A.
That's the day we officially started the experiment.
Also, on December 17th we ran an fMRI on Main Subject Go Hye Rim
as a part of the mid-experiment assessment
to see which of the three men she liked best.
What the hell is this about a mid-experiment evaluation, now?
Basically, it's what Seung Chan and I reported to Dr. Choi.
It'd be details like how many times we'd met up with you
and did what where, and...
So... you three toyed with my personal life?
We didn't exactly "toy" with it.
Won Ji Ho. I thought you said you liked me.
You even confessed your feelings for me
so why didn't you tell me all about the experiment beforehand?
I really did want to, but this is a very important experiment to the Doctor...
- so I wasn't in the position to-- - Choi Seung Chan.
- What's your reason? - I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
But... I was scared.
I thought you'd hate me.
Well, that's how things stand as of now.
I hate you so, so much.
The same goes for you.
I'll give you one last chance.
What happened just now is a secret from Choi Soo Hyun.
The moment you tell him about this, you two are dead meat.
Secondly... you two will do my bidding, whatever it may be.
No matter when I call you, you drop everything and do as I ask. Got that?
Yes.
And why are you not saying anything?
How are you going to act toward my brother now?
I'll have to make him confess everything.
How?
I'll take care of that myself, no matter what it takes.
Also...
[Choi Soo Hyun]
Oh my, Mr. Soo Hyun!
Did you get home okay?
Of course I did! I got back a while ago!
Oh my... you called me because you were worried, huh?
Wow... how nice...
Yes, okay. See you tomorrow!
Bastard...
I can go see Chairman Kim myself...
there was no need for him to give me a ride.
He treasures you that much, Ms. Go.
You even saved his life when he had a stroke.
I feel bad... I mean, anyone could've gotten into the ambulance with him.
He wants his fortune told again today, right?
Yes. That's correct.
You want me to read into your daughter's fortune?
She doesn't look like she's doing so well.
But... I keep seeing the woman I saw at the Chairman's vacation home
in my dreams as of late.
What kind of woman?
She seemed like a delicate person.
She was being supported up the stairs by the maid.
Um... you mean the Chairman's daughter?
I see... so she's his daughter?
The fact that he's surprised means that there's something about her, for sure.
Yes. But I keep seeing a dark aura around her
so it worries me a bit.
Actually, we're preparing a spirit-soothing ritual because of that.
A spirit-soothing ritual? Did someone die or something?
It's true that I haven't seen the Chairman's wife...
Maybe...
Yes. You'll have to make sure that you send that person's spirit off well.
Yes, that's right.
But... we have to do it three times, so...
Three times? Did three people die?
I'm sorry, Ms. Go.
My meeting ran a bit late. Have a seat.
Yes.
But, um... Chairman. Is your daughter doing all right?
No. She's a handful, as usual.
She's just home all day, and...
whenever I think about her, my head hurts.
Of course. You had so many people who passed away in your circle
so how could everything be okay?
What? How did you know about my family?
Family?
Is that a part of your skill?
Did Marie Antoinette tell you?
Yes, just briefly...
Is there any way that I could help?
I always receive help from you, and never offer anything in return.
Would it be okay if I met her just once?
How was Choi Soo Hyun last night?
He slept well.
What about today?
He woke up at 7 a.m. and washed his face, and brushed his teeth.
Then he briefly glimpsed at 9 pages of today's paper while drinking coffee
- and then got changed-- - Not that kind of stuff.
How did he feel?
He didn't seem like he was miserable or something because of his conscience?
I'm not sure. He had an appetite, and...
What's Choi Soo Hyun's schedule for today like?
He has a consultation at 1 p.m. and has an interview with the BBC after that.
Interview with the BBC? What's that about?
I think it's a continuation of the one that was done three months ago.
What's he being interviewed on?
They're interviewing psychologists from all over the world
and he spoke about the Madame Antoine experiment last time.
I think he's following up on that this time.
How did the second preliminary experiment go?
It's still in progress.
Phase one is over, but we still have to do phase two.
The second phase of the experiment?
In other words, I'm trying to figure out just how powerful
the woman's feelings of love acquired in phase one are.
Could you elaborate further on the second phase of the experiment?
Um... that's confidential, so I'm afraid that I can't tell you.
I see. Well, then how did the first phase go?
We ended it by confirming results via an fMRI scan.
So... ultimately, who did the subject choose?
She chose the man in his mid-thirties.
Ah, that grumpy old man with money and power?
Yes.
Well, your hypothesis has been demonstrated to be correct, then.
Could you please explain your hypothesis again?
Single women in their thirties are more prone to fall in love with an older man
with financial and job security who's succeeded in life
rather than a younger man.
Therefore, there is no such thing as "true love" for women.
- Thank you very much. - My pleasure.
How did you know to come here?
I wanted to see you so I went to the center
but you weren't there.
Ji Ho told me you were here.
You're quite amazing.
Being interviewed by the BBC and all.
It's not anything crazy, really.
Did you understand what was being said?
The gist of it, yes.
You spoke in Korean, after all.
It was about the experiment, right?
Yes.
I guess the second phase of the experiment ended well, then.
Yes, well... kind of.
Did you let the subject know that it was all an experiment?
Not yet.
Wow... I feel so bad for that woman!
I'm sure that she doesn't even know that she's been deceived.
What happens if that woman finds out that it was all an experiment?
She can just mess everything up and refuse to participate further.
But... why are you so interested in the experiment?
I got rid of the experiment that I was doing on you.
I know, but the man that I like is
basically putting his life at risk for his experiment.
How could I not be interested?
Even so... I'd like it if you weren't so interested in it from now on.
It's something that has nothing to do with you, after all.
"Nothing to do with me?"
How could I possibly have no interest when I'm the main subject?
Then... I can ask at least this much, right?
What happened to the man who the main subject chose in this experiment?
Nothing happened between him and the main subject?
He... grew to actually have real feelings for the main subject.
How could something like that possibly happen?
He was only pretending to like her.
I guess a lot of things happened.
Apparently, the guy only included the main subject in the experiment at first
to make her miserable.
Really?
Why? What did the woman do to him?
I think that the two of them didn't get along well, at first.
They didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things.
But... as the experiment progressed, he became closer to the woman
and saw different sides of her.
Sides of her that tried to act so strong
even though she's actually quite young at heart.
Her trying to overcome her own shortcomings as best as she could.
Trying her best to survive and endure, despite what the world throws at her.
Eventually, Male Subject A actually grew to love her.
Is that man going to tell the woman that it was all an experiment?
He does want to tell her, but I think he hasn't found the right time yet.
Tell him to hurry up and tell her.
I'm sure that the woman may forgive him if he comes clean.
Yes.
I think he'll tell her soon, but...
I don't know. I'm sure he's worrying about it a lot.
Try doing it now, Mr. Soo Hyun.
Excuse me?
If I were the test subject and you were Male Subject A, what would you say?
Why should I...
Do it.
I'm sorry, Ms. Hye Rim.
At first, I just...
I didn't like you very much, so I put you in the experiment to make you mad.
But now my feelings for you have become real.
I'm sorry about acting like I liked you.
But, I think... that I may have been interested in you from the start.
And that's why I thought about including you in the experiment in the first place.
Ms. Hye Rim.
Could you forgive me?
If you were that man, this is what you'd say?
Yes.
Please tell that man this:
to confess everything to the woman as soon as possible.
The faster, the better.
I'll head out first and wait for you.
You're back?
I'm heading out to eat because I'm a bit peckish. Want to come?
Why should I have to do that with you?
I wronged you. I'll make you something delicious.
Fine. Make me dinner for a week.
What did my brother say?
He did something similar to fessing up.
Just tell him everything already.
I want to hear him say it.
You still believe in him?
What did you put in here? It's good.
He'll never say it with his own two lips.
He's a really scary person, you know.
Do you know why I started playing baseball?
When I was younger, my brother...
Hit it well.
I'm only letting you play because you were being a pain about it.
Throw it, Big Bro! It'll be a home run no matter what!
Piss off already, punk!
- Hey, are you okay? - Are you okay?
I still see sides of him that are like that sometimes.
It makes me wonder sometimes why he hates me so much.
Did you try talking to him about it?
No. He doesn't even treat me as one should treat their younger brother.
But there was a subtle feeling that I got that
since there were three of us, the two of them would team up against me.
What was your mother like?
Was she nice to Mr. Soo Hyun?
Of course. Are you doubting my mom?
That she took my side all the time or something like that?
She didn't do that at all.
She took a lot better care of my brother than she did of me.
Yeah. I don't think I have any right to say anything about it.
At any rate, he's a really spiteful and cold person.
So don't have high expectations of him.
If he had to choose between you or the experiment
he'd choose the latter for sure.
I'll take care of it.
You... did you tell Ms. Hye Rim something?
Why?
Ms. Hye Rim has been acting strange lately.
Did you give her any hints about the experiment, by any chance?
Should I just make a fool of him?
No... even so, he's my older brother.
I'm seriously warning you.
Hurry up and fess up to Go Hye Rim about the experiment
and beg for her forgiveness.
That's the only way that you can possibly survive.
You think you're at the level where you can be giving me warnings?
Why not take a good, hard look at your circumstances first?
Aren't you ashamed to be mooching off me, at your age?
Also...
Ms. Hye Rim chose me.
So don't you dare hang around her anymore.
Whatever... I was an idiot to be worried for him.
Her parents' occupations aren't written here.
What do they do?
The father is a trot singer at a nightclub
and the mother is a housewife, but she was a pageant queen.
And the two of them have only graduated from high school.
Then... I'll bet that the parents really love So Dam.
She's really good at studying, after all.
No, my mom loved me because she said I took after her.
I played around a lot when I was young, but so did my mom.
Well, we can't say for sure if that's the case.
A lot of parents who weren't too good at studying
love it when their children are good at studying.
Why does she pull out her hair?
There's a lot of reasons that could possibly be the cause.
She could be really stressed out, or uneasy.
There are a lot of symptoms, but we haven't come up with a diagnosis yet.
I think we'll have to see her one more time.
Sure. Try meeting her again and talking to her.
Ms. Hye Rim.
I'm going to see So Dam. You'll come with me, right?
Oh, um... I've been slacking off too much these past few days.
I don't think I'll be able to.
Take Ji Ho with you.
Um... Professor... I have something to tell...
Ji Ho. Come out here for a sec.
What were you trying to tell Mr. Soo Hyun?
Just that you got really busy...
Don't you dare blab. You know what'll happen, right?
I'll bury you alive without a soul finding out about it.
Okay!
Yes, this is So Dam's mother, correct?
I'd like to visit So Dam today.
So Dam is at the hospital right now.
Why?
Last night, she was sleeping but some noises were coming out of her nose.
After taking a look, we saw that her nose was full of beans
and the beans swelled up, so they grew as big as her nostrils.
She put those in her own nose?
Of course... who else could've done it?
Geez... how is it that she causes trouble every single day?
But still, it's pretty amazing.
I'm sure it's very painful, but she's enduring it well.
Good girl. Just endure it for a bit longer, okay?
Oh, how pretty you are, So Dam.
I'm pretty?
Yes.
How pretty am I?
So very, very... very pretty.
What are you doing?
I really like this guy. I'm going to marry him.
Doctor, can you watch her for a second?
I have to take care of the fees.
- Yes, of course. - Thank you.
- Go get the car. - Yes, sir.
Why did you put beans up your nose?
I was curious to see how many would fit.
Why were you curious about that?
Just because. I wanted to fit a lot in there.
Why?
If a lot of beans fit into your nose, it's good.
It becomes full.
Why do you like that?
If my nose becomes bigger, my mom and dad will think that it's strange.
Why do you want them to think that?
Because they'll say "that's strange" and pay attention to me.
Oh my... what's this?
I got a hundred in all of my subjects.
Wow... great job, Soo Hyun! You've worked hard!
What are you doing, Soo Hyun?
Geez... that's my work!
No, Mother. I ate it, so I should wash it.
Mother, I'm done cleaning the room--
"I'm going to become a firefighter," Min Goo said confidently.
Then, Sang Woo clenched his fists.
You punk. How dare you do an experiment on my sister!
I already told you at the pub that I'm sorry about that--
You think this is something you could settle with just an apology? Huh?
How could you do that and call yourself a human being?
Answer me!
No, it's not that... I just did as I was told...
So you're telling me that you approached her because of the experiment?
Yes, but I grew to actually like her before I knew it...
Then... do an experiment on me, too.
Approach me and fall in love with me.
Why?
Because... I like you.
But I don't want to.
Why not?
Because I don't have any interest in you!
Where are you going?
You have no interest in me?
After I've done so much for him...
You little...
Hey, Go Yoo Rim!
I told you to do it, didn't I?
You're supposed to do the laundry twice a week!
Why do I have to do your laundry for you?
Am I your mother? Or maid?
Can't you see that I'm in a crappy mood right now?
If someone's curled up in their sheets, isn't it normal to ask if they're okay?
You think I'm in the mood to ask that kind of crap?
I just got experimented on. You think I'm in a good mood right now?
Is that my fault? It's your own happy-go-lucky fault.
You fought with Ji Ho again, didn't you?
Yeah, I did! So what!
Why do you always take out your anger on me when you two fight?
You should act more feminine, then. Who'd like you, dressed like that?
You think it's appropriate to be saying that to me right now?
I just got rejected by Ji Ho today!
Fine, I'll say exactly what you said to me.
Is that my fault? Is it because of me?
I'm sure you're well aware, but I didn't make any moves toward him!
But he said that he liked me, all on his own--
Fine! It's all my fault! Happy?
The fact that Mom and Dad only like you is my fault
and the fact that you stole Joo Sung from me when we were young is my fault...
Stole him? What are you talking about?
Who was the one who tried so hard to hook us up? You!
That was the only way I could see him!
Because that's the only way he'd actually notice me.
He bought me food and treated me well because I was your sister, idiot!
That's all my fault, too.
The fact that I was born as the younger sister
of someone as pretty as you is my fault
and dressing boyish to look a bit different from you is my fault
and learning Hap Ki Do to vent my frustration is my fault too! Happy?
Yoo Rim!
Want me to do the laundry?
Go away!
So Dam is a bit more animated compared to the other kids, yes.
But she doesn't poop her pants
and doesn't pull her hair out, either.
What about her appetite?
It's about the same as the other kids.
And she's never killed a bug and shown it to us before, either.
Does she ever sing by herself?
Sometimes.
She does that when it becomes quiet all around her.
Do you remember when she did that for the first time?
Not exactly, but... if I look in the log, I'm sure the date is here.
October 4?
I'm not sure. It wasn't really a unique day.
Please try to remember. If not that day, I'm sure something happened before that.
Did the family go on a trip, or did you buy her something?
Oh yeah. October 2 was my father-in-law's funeral memorial.
This year, my brother-in-law from America came to join us.
Did anything out of the ordinary happen that day?
Besides the fact that a lot of our relatives had gathered, no.
Oh, yeah!
I think my niece recorded some of it to show to my relatives.
Can you email those to me, please?
- Have you been well? - Yes.
Oh, let's see here. So you're So Dam?
- Wow. - Hi.
So Dam. Sing a song for your uncle.
Wow, you're so good!
One! If you can't see for even one second.
Two! I become so restless like this.
So Dam has an impulse control disorder.
She wanted people to pay attention to her.
But one day, she was praised
at the memorial when she sang when everyone was quiet.
That's why she sings when it's silent. To receive more praise.
Why does she...
You two are both the eldest among your siblings, correct?
Eldest children tend to take the eldest child's side when their children fight.
Also, both of you have been in the spotlight before.
And even your daughter takes after you enough to want to take part in a pageant.
Parents can tend to gravitate toward children who are similar to them.
I don't know. We--
The important thing is that
So Dam tried her best to receive attention in the midst of that.
She thinks she's not as pretty as her sister
so she tries to compensate for that through studying hard.
And she pretended that she still had trouble using the bathroom
to get attention from you.
And she'd kill cockroaches and show them to you.
These were all cries for attention.
The fact that she pulls out her hair is proof of that, too.
I'm not saying that you two are in the wrong.
It's common for parents to gravitate to the child that is more similar to them.
What's important now is what happens going forward.
It won't help So Dam at all to try and give her a one-time fix
by taking her to an amusement park or something like that.
You have to consistently show interest in her.
Please show that you love her in a different way than you do to So Yul.
So Dam is good at singing and is good at studying
so it'll be helpful if you praise her based on things relevant to that.
I love you.
I just... like hiking in the mountains a lot more...
That's aerobic exercise.
You need to build more muscle instead of getting leaner.
Just do this with me about 50 minutes per week.
Then you'll live to be 120!
Then, what do I need to do first?
Okay... nine, ten! Not much left now! Five more!
Okay... 11, 12...
- Oh! - Oh no.
Are you all right?
I have three left, right? I'll finish the set.
13, 14, 15! Good work.
First, have some water.
Come this way.
This time, we're going to make your back muscles bigger.
Doctor! Doctor!
Doctor, are you all right? Doctor!
I heard that Ms. Bae Mi Ran came here via ambulance an hour ago.
She's in room 508.
The doctor is coming out from there now.
I'm Dr. Bae Mi Ran's guardian. How is she... not good?
I don't think she has any brain damage.
I think it's arrhythmia.
I heard that she was working out before she passed out.
I think it also may have been due to the fact that she overdid it.
It's not anything to worry about, then?
You've run all the tests, right?
Nothing big, really.
But about her thyroid cancer... is she getting it treated?
Thyroid... thyroid cancer?
Oh, you didn't know?
It seemed like her throat was swollen, so I was worried and checked it out.
It seemed like it'd progressed quite a bit, too.
I'm sorry, Doctor. It's because I wanted us to work out.
No. They said that it's not a big deal, so I can be discharged tomorrow.
Thinking about it, I think it's because I have no muscles that I passed out.
If I'd worked out sooner, I would've been fine.
No. I pushed you too much.
Don't say things like that.
Instead, just make me do only ten squats and I'll make up for it somewhere else.
It was actually fun!
Even you're here, Dr. Choi?
Ms. Hye Rim said that she'd come by later too.
Wow... I feel so bad because I feel like I've called all our employees over here.
You don't need to go? It's time for you to go to work.
That's right. I'll be back after work.
Is there anything you want to eat?
Um... cup ramen, and some rice balls, please.
I'll put it in the ramen.
Got it. I'll buy two of each so we can eat them together!
See you later, Doctor!
Why did you hide the fact that you have cancer?
How did you find out about that?
The doctor told me that it looks like it's progressed quite a bit.
Have you been getting treatment? Or...
Can you just act as if you don't know, Dr. Choi?
I won't die.
I even wrote out a bucket list of things I want to do.
I think it'll take 10 or 20 years to cross everything off.
So don't worry.
I won't die before I do all of the things on my list.
No... I can't die before I do.
Even so...
I'm getting treated, so don't worry.
You're not kicking me out just because I have cancer, are you?
What did you write down on your bucket list?
I'll help you with any of the ones that I can.
Um... well... at first, there were about 10 things
but it keeps expanding, and now it has 20 or 30 things.
Oh, yeah. There's that, too.
Dating someone.
I want to link arms and walk along the beautiful blue ocean at Jeju Island
and collect seashells.
You're jealous, right?
Yeah. I have towels and a toothbrush.
What else does she need?
Uh... slippers and her phone charger.
I found her slippers, but... where is her charger?
Her drawers? Okay. I'll look.
Where's the charger...
here it is.
I'll come right back after I'm done with work.
See you then, Doctor!
You're here, Mr. Seung Chan?
You're here?
Ugh, I seem so stiff.
It's not like I'm a resident director or something.
Oh my... you're here, Mr. Seung Chan?
Geez... I feel like that's too much.
You're here, Mr. Seung Chan?
Dr. Bae was discharged this morning, right?
Are you going to stop by her place later?
No. I'll see her when she comes in tomorrow.
Still, you should stop by.
She passed out while she was working out with you, after all.
Should I? Want to come with me?
- No, I... - Did you call me?
Yeah. You're positive that Mr. Soo Hyun left, right?
Yes. He went to the library.
How is his mood recently?
Well... you know...
Since he asked me if I'd told you about the experiment
I think he's starting to have some doubts.
He didn't fess up to anything regarding the experiment, right?
Not yet.
But he might tell me soon--
You want him to do something like this, right?
For him to just show up one day and snap out of it
despite the fact that you didn't press him to do so or anything.
Yeah. So what?
But Go Hye Rim... that'll never happen.
I asked him to stop the experiment so many times, but he'd never budge.
But you want him to just snap out of it, like that?
Does that even make sense?
Fine. Then try to corner him a bit more.
Drop hints that I may know about the experiment.
That way he'll confess because he's scared of me, at the very least.
Why are you making things so complicated?
Just tell him that you figured everything out--
No.
Why?
I still want to give him a chance.
Okay. Then, what do I need to do?
When Mr. Soo Hyun comes in, say this.
Hey. Did you tell Go Hye Rim about the experiment, by any chance?
No, why?
That's weird. Why does she keep talking about it, then?
Doctor. I found this on your desk. What is it?
[I know everything.]
Who wrote this?
- Not me. - Me neither.
There wasn't an envelope on my desk, though...
Won Ji Ho. Bring Choi Seung Chan and come to my office.
You... who did you get this from?
According to my CCTV footage, nobody left this here.
And I didn't see you take it, either.
If you just give it to him, he'll have his doubts.
So tell him this.
Actually... it was in the mailbox.
I opened it and it said "I know everything"
so I thought Ms. Hye Rim had written it...
Then you should've been honest and told me that it was in the mailbox.
Also, what evidence do you have to believe that Ms. Hye Rim sent this?
Because she has a lot of doubts.
Also, you.
What did you say in the text when Hye Rim and I went to the vacation home?
You didn't tell her about the experiment?
You did give her a hint about the experiment, right?
You didn't have the courage to tell her in person
so you told her, even through such means. Isn't that right?
He might also notice and then take a stab at you.
If he does, be more bold.
That's right. I did give her a hint.
I told her everything.
Stop lying.
You wouldn't still be in one piece if you really did tell her.
You also would've come and told me that you told her
with a ton of braggadocio. Isn't that right?
You're so smart.
Did you just figure that out?
Also, don't even think of blabbing to Ms. Hye Rim anymore.
She won't listen to someone like you.
She'd trust me a lot more that she'd trust you.
If you want to confirm it for yourself, though, go ahead and tell her.
Mr. Soo Hyun, I have something to talk to you about.
Come see me at the partition in the cafe.
That's right. I did give her a hint. I told her everything.
I still want to give him a chance.
Last night, Marie Antoinette appeared in my dream.
I think she said something that made me feel uneasy
but I can't remember what she said.
I think it had to do with you.
Something... to do with me?
Yes. It's not completely untrue that I hear Marie Antoinette's voice.
Sometimes I do get the feeling that I hear a voice.
So I asked to see you so that I could confirm it.
Your excuses won't work anymore. (in French)
I'm disappointed in you. (in French)
Ah, my lips are so dry. (in French)
She says that you're a phony.
She said that she needs to confirm your true feelings.
You really did hear a voice like that?
Yes, that's how it feels. I wonder why?
It's not because you don't want to trust me?
Then why would you use Marie Antoinette as an excuse?
Ms. Hye Rim.
Is there something that you know?
Mr. Soo Hyun, I like honest people. Especially if they're someone I like.
Ms. Hye Rim. You heard something from Seung Chan, didn't you?
Or... did you hear something from Ji Ho?
No. He's a coward so he couldn't have told you himself.
Maybe he told Yoo Rim?
Is that right? Did you hear something from her?
Seeing as you say that
it sounds like there's something that I should know about.
Ms. Hye Rim. Seung Chan or Ji Ho may say things to you.
They may say that they were a part of an experiment
or that you're a subject of an experiment.
But... you already know, right?
That all of that is false.
Of course. But why do they say those kinds of things to me?
Is there a reason for it?
The two of them are jealous of me right now.
I scored over 98 percent on the fMRI.
And the two of them still can't believe it.
On top of that, those two like you, so...
they want to make you change your mind, no matter what it takes.
- But-- - Ms. Hye Rim.
You trust me, right?
Then just ignore what everyone else says.
And only trust what I say.
Trust only me.
I want to believe you a hundred, thousand times over.
But...
Yoo Rim. Why didn't you pick up my calls?
You're not shooting me anymore?
Yeah, I'm not doing that anymore.
Why not?
Because you rejected me.
Shouldn't you keep your personal and private lives separate?
Sorry, but I can't seem to do that.
Why not?
I liked you too much to be able to do that.
Did you come for a consultation?
Ah... yes.
But, um... is this Dr. Choi Soo Hyun's practice?
Yes.
Um... how old is he?
35 years old.
What about his birthday?
March 11th. But... why?
Do you know him, by any chance?
Um, no...
Big Bro... I mean, Doctor. I think that she's here for a consultation.
Just fill out the chart and choose a time slot.
Is something wrong?
No...
The radio?
I don't know if I'll have the time.
Sorry, but I really don't think I can make the time to do it.
Okay, fine. How about next month?
It snowed for the first time in a while, so how about a showdown?
You have a death wish, don't you?
Hey, hey, hey... that's not fair...
- Get over here! - Hey, no...
- See, it hurts! - You little...
Stop! It hurts!
It's cold! It's cold!
Wait.
How about you save the snowball fight for later, and do it with me?
Let's stop. That grumpypuss is grumpy again.
He didn't fess up yet, right?
But you still trust him?
Are you two lying to me, by any chance?
You... geez, I'm going to go crazy.
I thought you opened the safe.
And I thought you saw the blueprint and everything!
It could be that he was planning to do it but ended up not doing it.
Go Hye Rim. Come to your senses!
That experiment is real!
The person who created this experiment is him
and he's the one who led you on
and he's even the one who chose you to be the subject!
Still, I want to trust him.
Yeah. He's the person you like, so I'm sure you do.
But it's not real.
He's the one who spun this web of deception in the first place
so how could you trust someone like him?
He loves you?
No way. How could he do this to someone he loves?
Also... he didn't even confess to you that this is all an experiment.
But... you'll still just believe him?
Seung Chan went to work, right? How about we have--
No thanks.
Then, do you want to build a snowman?
The one that was outside was beheaded, after all.
Can't you see that I'm busy?
Welcome!
How about French cuisine for dinner tonight?
No.
Then... what about Italian food?
Shall we try going to Spain today, then?
We can have jamon jamon as an appetizer...
Mr. Soo Hyun.
Do you know what I want to eat the most?
Watermelon.
I want to eat a well-ripened, fresh-off-the-vine watermelon.
Ms. Hye Rim. You can't get watermelon in the winter--
I know.
Come out for a second.
There we go.
I had to drive for three hours to find this.
I don't know what you're so grumpy about
but have some of this and let off some steam.
I'll be better to you from now on.
What? Want me to get you something else, too?
How about autumn gizzards?
Or May crabs?
Yeah... the experiment is all over now, anyway.
Does it taste good?
Everything's over now.
So don't talk about the experiment to me anymore, either.
And let's just pretend that I never told you to do any of those things.
In other words, stop reporting to me what he's up to.
You're going to act as if none of this happened?
- Hye Rim. That's-- - Stop.
You, stop talking.
Stop saying things like he's lying to me or that he doesn't like me.
Even if he did experiment on me, it's all over now.
So I'm just going to continue dating him.
All right?
Then... you're okay with not hearing him fess up to you?
I'm sure he'll tell me eventually.
I believe that.
Our meetings are over now, too.
I won't call you over to talk about the experiment or whatever, so--
What about phase two?
What? Phase two?
There's a phase two.
Are you going to be blindsided by him again?
Phase two?
There was another experiment besides this one?
[Madame Antoine Project Pilot Study Blueprint]
[Phase Two]
Objective: To gauge the intensity of the subject's love for the male subject
if she did fall in love with one of them.
It's to find out just how much the subject likes the man.
I'm sure he's going to give you three tasks.
The first one is a normal one that lovers do, like sending video messages.
Second phase: seeing how much she's willing to stray from social norms.
Tasks that are embarrassing, but would be done if she truly loves the man.
The third task is pretty outlandish, to put it simply.
Something like hanging 100 colored sheets of paper on a tree
and shouting something like, "I love you!"
You're telling me that... he'd ask me do something like that?
Yes. I'm sure he already went to get the supplies for the second phase.
What do I do? What should we do to this terrible bastard?
Should I eat him whole, or roast him first?
Hye Rim. Let's just... um...
how about telling him now that you know...
No! I can't!
He's crossed the line this time. He's just toying with me!
Watermelon? Autumn gizzards?
Have fun shoving them down your throat, you crazy bastard!
Oh my goodness, I'm so pissed.
Hey. What do we do?
What should we do to this bastard?
Should I kill him as soon as I see him tomorrow?
No, that'd be letting him off too easy.
Should we burn all of his materials pertaining to the experiment?
And right in front of his face?
How about it?
I'm going to rip him to shreds!
[Experiment Blueprint and Log]
[Delete]
[Are you sure you want to delete?]
That's right... I'll do exactly what he did to me.
What do you mean?
The second phase's supervisor is me, and the subject will be Choi Soo Hyun.
I'm going to do a terrible experiment on him.
I'll do unto him exactly what he did to me.
Do you have any pretty friends?
Approach a guy naturally and make him fall for you.
What if he really ends up liking me?
He's not that easy to win over.
Daughter?
How about treating my father first, then?
You sure go through a lot to sit down. Is there a reason why?
What do you mean? I'm fine.
On your way, say you heard him and call out to him.
Doctor!
Our love has gone cold. Totally frozen over.
I feel like it's so easy to communicate with you.
Me too.
Damn it.
Don't misunderstand, Ms. Hye Rim.
You don't like me anymore, or something?
What do you want me to do, exactly?
Well, there's this thing called fMRI scan, isn't there?
I'm going to do exactly what he did to me.
Go Hye Rim.
Show me your heart.
Show me. Show me Mr. Soo Hyun's brain.
