(Episode 20: The curtain call)
Who do you think did it?
I'm not sure.
All of Gangnam's talking about it.
Ah-jin's really an amazing person.
Oh, she definitely is.
She won't even sue for distribution of property or alimony.
I think she's satisfied with that house, that's all.
She said she deserves the house for her effort for it.
She's in a whirlpool of spectacle events!
But look at her, she's never lost her balance.
She's got a sound mentality.
I hope my daughter grows up to be someone like her,
instead of taking after me.
I think divorce is the last stage in marriage.
I wonder if there's any couple that doesn't dream of getting a divorce.
I know, right?
Anyhow...
I heard Gyung-hee keep getting nauseous really badly.
Her son's going to study abroad.
To the same school his friend is in.
I heard you ended it with your boyfriend.
What joy do you have in your life these days then?
A rich and lonely woman with lots of time is the least happy person in the world.
That's me.
No need to complain.
I miss Ah-jin.
She must be really busy, right?
We'll begin the appeal divorce case today, here at Seoul Branch Court.
But the plaintiff is not here?
She just turned in a document that says, "The defendant does not have a reason
to appeal."
Do you have anything to say to that?
Your Honor.
I cannot accept this divorce.
I am determined to protect my wife and my family.
Even if the sky splits into two, or three pieces!
Because the plaintiff is not present...
I'll postpone this trial again.
What did I do so wrong?
At least tell me that, please.
Are you finished with that woman?
Which woman?
Gosh.
Your Honor!
Here's the official forensics report.
The time of death is between 2 to 4 AM, February 28th.
She consumed wine and cheese an hour before her death.
A good amount of prescribed medicine for calming her nerves was found
in her stomach.
So she was treated for psychiatric reasons?
Yes.
We found that she was being treated by a psychiatrist for a month.
She had trouble sleeping without sleeping pills.
We found out where Gu Bong-cheol is.
- Hello? - It's me.
I'm going to the police now.
I told you what to say, right?
Blame everything on Park Bok-ja.
Park Bok-ja, Park Bok-ja, Park Bok-ja!
She's already dead!
Bong-cheol!
Hey, Gu Bong-cheol!
Why did you run away?
I never ran away.
We told you to come here many times!
You're here because we put your face on the wanted fliers!
I didn't kill her.
That's for us to find out.
We heard from Woo Ah-jin already.
It was you who connected Park Ji-young to Mr. Ahn's family?
You provided much help to Park Bok-ja's plan to marry Mr. Ahn.
Did you feel betrayed by Park Ji-young?
Yes.
I felt that way at first.
I hated her.
But at some point, I understood.
"High class" makes people change.
And she followed their way and changed accordingly.
Do you have an alibi when Park Ji-young died?
Park Joo-mi had told me to kill her.
That's when I realized that Park Bok-ja...
She'll die soon.
I hated her, yes, but I couldn't kill her.
Where have you been, and what have you been up to?
I was helping out at a gym my friend own in Daejeon.
How did you hear that Park Ji-young had died?
I saw it on the news.
Do you have any evidence that Park Joo-mi ordered you to kill Park Ji-young?
No.
She'd never leave evidence like that.
She'll get out of it no matter how much the police investigates.
She's very clever, you know.
We had no need for a security company.
That's the only reason I voided the contract.
Everyone was talking about what my family was going through.
"The caregiver seduced the chairman and took off with the money."
I hated the fact that they're watching us.
I didn't want us to watch them either.
I can't stand security cameras.
On February 28th...
Is it true that you were staying at Leo Resort with your husband?
Yes.
Do you have anything support your alibi?
Only the fact that my husband and I will serve as witness for each other.
You had ordered Gu Bong-cheol to kill Park Ji-young, right?
Detective!
I'm a college professor.
Fine, it's true that I hated her enough to want to kill her.
But...
I'm not the type of person who'd give up my whole life to kill someone like her.
We checked a dash cam at a car that was parked nearby on that day.
It showed the back view of a man who went into the house.
There were two men, actually.
Detective!
I'm a college professor.
Fine, it's true that I hated her enough to want to kill her.
But...
I'm not the type of person who'd give up my whole life to kill someone like her.
We checked a dash cam at a car that was parked nearby on that day.
It showed the back view of a man who went into the house.
There were two men, actually.
It was raining and they were under an umbrella, couldn't confirm who they were.
It's highly possible that...
One of them is Gu Bong-cheol.
So is it true that you've been recording all of our conversations?
No! It's just a misunderstanding.
All of Gangnam's talking about it!
Park Bok-ja told that to a reporter.
She said before she died that the reporter will expose everything about Pungseok-jung.
He's just waiting for the perfect time.
Don't be ridiculous!
But where did you hear that from?
There are these documents that talk only about the rumors of Gangnam.
It's all over it!
Anyway, it's not true!
Recording conversations? No way!
No need to do this, how about we check?
Go ahead! Look for it yourself!
Forget it!
It's just a gossip if we talk among ourselves.
Why would anyone record our conversations?
That's true, there's nothing much there.
I'm sure she's hiding something.
I knew something was up from a while ago!
She knew everything that we would talk about, just ourselves!
Come out here a second.
She's the new maid at Pungsan Corp.
They fired the lady before? And hired her?
No, I'm the second-maid.
I don't clean or cook.
I just run errands for the chairman and pick up his food.
Did his wife pick you herself?
No, right?
She did pick me.
I hope to see you often!
I've downloaded the February 28th footage for you.
Thank you.
The suspect is here.
You went home after, then?
It's just as you said before.
I went in and killed her.
I was so angry and I couldn't stand it.
That's why I killed her.
You...
You really killed her?
Come on.
I'm confessing it myself! What's wrong?
Why are you turning yourself in?
It's just...
So hard...
Once you've killed someone.
It's better to be in jail.
It's so hard.
To be at ease.
So the heart will be at peace.
The murderer of Daesung Pulp's vice chairperson turned himself in today.
It was none other than the stepson of Vice Chairperson Park Ji-young.
The oldest son of Ahn Tae-dong, the chairman of Daesung Pulp.
The police said that he murdered Park Ji-young out of hatred,
after she sold the company to a private investment group.
The police also said that Ahn Jae-gu had frequent arguments with Park Ji-young
over his father's inheritance.
Mom, is everything OK?
Oh, no.
Ji-hoo.
You never told any of the kids at school what your grandfather does, right?
No, no need to say that.
I'm sure they'd start calling me "toilet paper" once they found out
my dad worked at a toilet paper company.
OK.
Good job.
Don't mention it in the future either.
I won't.
You didn't write your diary in English today.
I'm just gonna do that 3 times a week.
My diaries have been pretty sad lately, I don't want write everyday.
Mom.
I like this house. It smells nice.
I'm glad, My Princess.
I'm going to bed, too.
OK, good night.
It's me.
Yeah.
Is Ji-hoo asleep?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, Ah-jin.
Me too.
I feel bad too.
My brother...
What's gonna happen to him?
Why do you think he did it?
He turned himself in.
I'm sure they'll take that into consideration.
Let's just do our best.
Don't cry.
Tomorrow is another day.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have...
Had her come into the family.
I'm sorry.
It was me who...
Introduced that painter to you.
And it was me...
Who introduced that woman to Father.
That's not your fault.
It's the fault of the people who made the wrong choices.
Things have been going well?
What things?
Anything.
Pungsan's mistress got kicked out.
The wife realized that he really was falling in love with the mistress.
So she set a counter fire.
A counter fire?
She put a young and sexy maid to take care of the chairperson.
Wow, why?
The wife would rather have him filled with lust rather than actual love.
Oh, and...
The wife passionately explained how Park Bok-ja died, to scare her!
What's my husband doing now?
He's fighting with his girlfriend.
They fought, and he left.
Yeah, it's about time they start fighting.
It's around this time he looks for a new girl.
Ma'am?
Would you like to go watch a movie with me tonight?
I'm off today.
A movie?
Yeah.
I'd like to know what you like.
I like movies.
I like movies, too.
Let's go out and watch a movie then.
You wanna go on a date with me?
I guess you can call it that.
I don't do stuff like that.
Let's just...
Just...
Let's just play.
I'll wash up first.
Hello Ma'am, is there something you're looking for by chance?
Come this way please.
Thank you very much.
- Isn't this pretty? - It's very pretty!
Look, this one's got a heart.
Look at this flower!
What's it called?
"The curtain call."
- The curtain call? - Yes.
It's when the actors come back on stage as the audience applaud them.
That's how you interpreted death as?
Artist Yoon Seong-hee!
You truly are gifted.
So just watch out for guys.
How did you come up with this?
We have to prepare a short description for it, so talk to Seong-hee and
take notes.
Oh, and did you send her the payment for her painting that was sold?
Yes, Ma'am.
Ah-jin said to go ahead and wire you the money.
This is how the curtain came down in my life.
My life that no one applauded for...
Ended this way.
What made her happy were not expensive bags or shoes.
But...
She decided to take courage in starting her life over in that field.
The glass ceiling, and the glass floor, can Br broken.
Someone had to show it.
Yes, good.
You now own that building.
She broke through the glass ceiling too.
Congratulations.
She's swimming upstream currently.
And her magical iron mace that helped her break through the glass ceiling...
Her magical iron mace, surprisingly...
Was something common...
MSG.
Do you have radish kimchi?
Just eat it without.
Here, eat it.
This kimchi is amazing!
Oh you have no taste, it's filled with MSG.
Dad.
A lawyer from the best law firm in Korea is representing Jae-gu.
Where's Joo-mi, and where's Woon-kyu?
She went to work.
Woon-kyu's at a language program overseas.
He left a while ago.
Dad, eat a little more.
It's OK.
I have no appetite.
But...
We have to sell of her possessions quickly.
I can't bring that up because of him.
Money's not the issue right now, we have to resolve Jae-gu's case first!
Hey.
But now that she's dead...
We don't have to go through a lawsuit to get the stocks back?
I have no idea!
Hey!
You should care a little more about this.
You're unemployed now.
Let's divide up the possessions the right way this time.
Will you just stop?
It's no time to discuss possessions!
Look at you!
Dad will take 50% of her possessions for being her spouse,
and the rest belongs to us!
That's what we need to settle.
But...
Isn't Dad so healthy now?
She did help him a great deal.
Where's Secretary Oh?
I heard he's staying at the new company that bought Daesung Pulp.
I see.
Mr. Ahn.
Actually... I received a call from Jae-gu a few days before Vice Chairperson died.
What kind of a call?
He said Secretary Oh has been the right-hand man of Vice Chairperson.
He told me to tell you not to trust Secretary Oh.
He asked me to tell you that.
It wasn't you?
I thought it was you who was helping her.
Then you knew all along?
Of course I knew.
How could I not know?
Then why did you...
Do that?
You can't help some things even if you know.
I...
I liked her a lot.
That woman.
Do you have anything to say to me?
Father.
Yeah.
Please take care of my wife and my son.
I don't blame you.
I'm sorry.
I'll do everything I can to help you from outside.
Please be healthy.
(Certificate of Home Ownership)
I changed the title of ownership to your name again.
We'll end all disputes over properties and possessions with this.
- Ah-jin. - Yeah?
- You don't feel bad about me? - Why would I?
My wife left dumped me, I lost my job...
My brother is in jail for murder.
You know what your biggest problem is?
It's that you're the center of your world.
It's true, that's how I think.
Yes, I am the center of my world,
but my values are modest.
For example, I'm the earth, but you're the sun.
That's true, and she was your moon.
Yeah, she was.
How can I say this so you'd understand?
Maybe this is quicker.
Don't think that you're the earth from now on.
Think that you're the sun.
Live your life thinking that you exist for the earth.
I hope you understand that every creation in the universe doesn't exist for you.
Ji-hoo took after you, I see.
She also speaks in a way I can't understand.
That's the reason I love you and Ji-hoo so much though.
No one should ever feel bad for you.
You know why?
You're the sun.
Ji-hoo wants to spend time with you.
I see...
Tomorrow must be another day.
Ji-hoo, Dad's got lots of time.
- Where do you want to go? - I don't have much time.
Oh, really?
You resolved it without fighting with Mom?
Yeah.
Dad, do you wanna go somewhere and eat?
OK!
Dad.
You have to live with a straight mindset from now on.
What do you mean?
I'm worried because you have a weak mentality.
What are you talking about? I don't have a weak mentality.
What if Mom is dating someone?
That can't happen.
Why not?
You did it, why can't Mom?
No, never!
Dad, Mom's not someone you can tell what to do anymore.
Dad, have you ever seen Lion King?
I did, the animation with lions.
Yes, and it says this in Lion King:
"The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it
or learn from it."
I hope you can learn from your past and in the future...
Be wise enough to discern the basic things in life.
You can't know less than a lion, right?
Did you eat yet?
I didn't, did you?
Then I didn't either, of course!
Let's go.
Say hello to my boss.
I already did.
I passed out my business cards to all the women here too.
I'm all finished greeting them.
I have a meeting in 20 minutes, wait for me for a second.
Yes, I'll look around.
It's OK, you can go on a date.
I have an appointment with the wife of the chairperson of Pungsan.
I'm going to spend all day with her today.
I have to take her somewhere first.
You go on.
Thank you very much for your deep consideration, and we'll go on our way.
The place we're going to eat...
Is over there.
It's about 200 yards from here.
Yes.
But our strides at different widths,
so I have to think hard to match our speed together until we get there.
What are you trying to say?
This way...
I don't have to think as hard and get there at the same time.
What will happen to my husband, the chairman?
Park Bok-ja!
Park Bok-ja has taken over that new maid in spirit!
Park Bok-ja who died came into her in spirit?
Why'd you get her in the house as a maid?
What do I do now?
Kick her out! What else is there to do?
It's too late.
She's possessed!
But what about my husband?
Oh, I need to point this out.
I never went into anyone's body.
I, speaking with all accuracy,
am not in that world anymore.
This case is over.
Ahn Jae-gu has a son?
Yeah.
How old is he?
He finished his college entrance exam and is in America for language training.
He must be in great shock.
Goodnight, Mom.
Sleep tight, My Princess.
My cousin called me late night when I slept.
I would kill the devil tonight.
I supposed that after he finished the entrance exam,
he indulged himself in playing games.
It seemed that his mission was to kill the devil,
which must be the goal or a character in a game he played.
February 28th?
That's when he was in America.
So, did Woon-kyu fight off the devil?
What are you talking about?
Oh, sorry.
I read a little bit of your English diary.
It's so I can check the mental health of my own daughter.
Reading the English diary is not invasion of privacy.
Don't be upset, OK?
That's OK.
I left it on the desk because it's OK for you to read it.
Right?
You must talk to your cousin often, that's good!
Once in a while, we do.
How's he doing in America?
He's in America?
Yeah, he went there for language training.
No, he didn't go to America.
What do you mean?
He was in Korea.
What?
(Woon-kyu)
Hello?
Yeah.
Woon-kyu? What's going on? It's so late at night.
I'm... Going to kill the devil tonight.
The devil?
It's rainy, isn't it perfect?
It's the best day to kill the devil.
Woon-kyu, you called me to tell me that?
I had to let someone know.
Are you home now?
Yeah.
Don't get too much into playing video games.
- See ya! - I'll see you after school.
He said, "I'm going to kill the devil tonight."
I supposed the goal of the game he was playing was to kill the devil.
Woon-kyu!
Auntie?
You...
Get out.
You've killed a man!
I didn't kill him!
It was an accident, I told you many times!
Shut up!
Don't treat me like some bug!
Your son... And your wife...
If you want them to live in this house, treated like normal human beings,
you better keep your mouth shut starting now.
You must've gone mad!
Bark like a dog again...
I'll throw out your wife and kid too!
This is your last warning.
No, it's not that!
He took my blanket.
So you decided to sleep in my bed next to me?
I wasn't going to sleep there, but my blanket...
What do you think you're doing?
I've killed a man before already.
It's hard the first time, but it gets easier the second time around.
Shoot.
But you'd be a laughingstock if you don't shoot me now.
So shoot.
Shoot!
No, Jae-gu!
- Let go! - You can't do this!
Let go!
- Joo-mi. - Don't do this.
I'm sorry.
I'll go back to America.
Don't go.
You need to take what's yours, and what belongs to Woon-kyu.
You can't back off now.
Right now...
We're against a cliff.
It's all meaningless.
No!
If you can't take it back, at least do something about it.
Like what?
That woman...
At least kill her before you leave.
My son...
Woon-kyu.
It's Dad.
You're going to America in a couple of days?
See me before you go.
I miss you.
You've drank before, right?
I wanted to take you to bathhouses with you like other fathers and sons.
I wanted to teach you how to shave, too.
I never got to.
Here.
At least I get to teach you how to drink.
You'll drink for the rest of your life, I can teach you that at least.
Right?
Why'd you come so late?
I'm sorry.
Mom and I...
We were very lonely.
I'm sorry.
I...
I won't go to America.
Did you know that you dropped this knife at the scene of murder?
You didn't, right?
What?
This was at the scene of murder?
Here.
We'll sleep indoors tonight, it's too cold.
Let's try sleeping here, this has been my dream.
8516! You have a visitor!
Take Woon-kyu and go to America.
Ohio is a nice place to live in.
Send him to college there.
I guess...
You'd have to quit your job.
I'll wait for you.
I'll wait for you there.
Thanks.
And...
I'm sorry.
Wow.
I feel a little more at ease now.
I never...
Did anything for my wife and son.
It always bothered me.
(February 28th, 1:40 AM)
Hello? Driver Kim?
I'm at the hospital.
Just go back.
(February 28th, 1:42 AM)
Woon-kyu?
Why'd you do it?
Why'd you do that to me?
Why'd you do that to my mom?
Weren't you in America...
Why?
I'm asking you why you did it!
(5 months after Park Bok-ja died)
Yoon-jae.
You know you need to call me everyday once you get to America, right?
Yeah.
Don't eat too much chocolate!
Make sure you brush your teeth!
I love you, my son!
Your mommy loves you!
Make sure you call me once you arrive!
Right away, OK?
Mommy loves you!
Call me!
It wasn't just them who had to say their goodbyes.
It's sad but there's nothing we can do. Give up this time.
But...
It's the New York Gallery.
It's not Seoul.
I shouldn't matter, no?
Social media is not limited to Seoul.
The Korean-american society is just as scary.
Gangnam and New York are even more directly connected.
Your face is all over the place and marked as a cheater.
Your career might even finish!
It's not fair!
This is so unfair!
What's so unfair?
People must pay the fair price for what they've done.
I've already paid that price.
Pay what?
Ah-jin took all of my paintings!
That's a deal made between you and Ah-jin.
But you still have to pay the price to the world.
You still don't know the world nearly enough.
The New York exhibition is not what's important.
Actually, you should change your name at this point.
Wait, that won't work, your name's already registered in the artist association.
Let's not show your face anywhere.
So you'd never do any promotion.
You'd just keep painting.
Fame's nothing once you have it, it's OK.
That son of a...
Come on!
You like Sashimi? I do!
He felt something like fate from a girl who was holding a knife.
Like she'd be his earth.
He had no intention of learning something from his past.
I'm officially offering you to be our general design manager.
Your salary will be the highest in the industry, plus incentive
based on sale amount.
Thank you very much for the offer.
But I'd like to make my own brand expand, with my own strength.
I wish for a partnership to help each other strategically.
How's my offer?
I feel like you'll be our biggest competitor soon!
I wish you the best.
She started everything new.
The comfort of the heater and the sun-roof.
She gave that up.
And got true freedom instead.
Not everyone can enjoy that freedom.
The wind feels nice.
It was maybe...
Her privilege.
I'll go and get some coffee. You guys are getting juice.
I'm so happy these days.
You seem like it.
Everyday is so precious.
You seem like it.
There are so many people in the world who are unfortunate, thinking that
the morning sun only disturbs their sleep.
Happiness is like the sunlight.
It's endlessly thankful if you think that it's opening up a new morning.
I'm just gonna enjoy the free stuff the world granted me.
Those are some quotable words!
I should take notes.
- This one's for you. - Thank you.
- And this is for Ji-hoo. - Thank you.
It's nice to meet you, my name is Kang Gi-ho.
I'm Ahn Ji-hoo.
I heard much about you.
You're my mom's mate, right?
Yeah.
I'm her mate.
You know the mates should be nice to each other, right?
Help me.
OK. I will.
Now that I look at you closely, you really look like your mom!
Mister?
You know what my mom's favorite food is?
It's kimchi stew.
You should get my number, you need my help, right?
Yes!
Dad and Mom ended that way.
But I do love my dad very much.
I think you and I can get along well as long as you understand that.
Of course I do!
You also understand that I'd like to get close to your mom, right?
Yes, I'm relieved now that I've met you.
Really?
You think I'm alright?
Yeah. You have kind eyes.
Really?
Among all the 11-year-old kids I've met in my life...
You're the most awesome.
I mean it!
Thank you, your compliments are pretty fancy.
That makes me feel good.
- This juice is good, too. - Really?
Hurry and be by her side.
OK.
(Arrest Report)
They have a son, Ahn Woon-kyu.
He actually never left the country.
What was her name in the suite room?
It's Woo Ah-jin.
Woo Ah-jin.
The wine stain's been cleaned.
I see, thank you!
Park Bok-ja?
Yes.
Thank you very much for the laundry. Please be happy wherever you are.
Everyone dreams of being happy.
Everyone desires for something they do not have.
They think that's how they'd be happy.
But happiness...
Brings light to your life when you actually empty out those desires.
Right now...
I'm happy.
Right now...
I'm happy.
(Woman of Dignity: The end)
