(Episode 11)
(9 years ago)
Hello?
- By midnight. - How can I believe you?
You said you'd let Min Seo go if I gave you the money.
How can I believe that?
Come to Yongam Reservoir by midnight.
You'd better return her safely...
if you want the money.
Do you hear me?
I'm sorry. The interview lasted longer than I thought.
Are we ready to film?
Goodness.
- Sir? - Yes, it's nothing.
I'll be there soon. Give me a moment.
Drive safely. Okay.
Aren't you going to eat?
I'm okay.
Why is Jung Hee so down?
She must be upset.
The star is shooting an independent film in a rural area.
You have to take good care of her then.
That's what the directing team does.
The directing team is not supposed to entertain the actors.
I know you like the director,
but you don't have to be mean to Jung Hee.
Don't mix work with personal feelings.
Let me tell you something too.
This is the director's first film after getting married to Jung Hee.
You want to separate work from personal feelings?
The director hates how you hang around Jung Hee...
because you have feelings for her.
- What are you talking about? - Who here doesn't know...
the scandal between you and her?
- Myung Hee. - The director is arriving soon,
so let's set up.
Finish eating and get Jung Hee's clothes ready.
- Let me have a look at your makeup. - Don't come in.
We're starting soon, so I'll have a quick look.
I said not to come in!
Don't come in! Don't come in.
Don't come in.
She doesn't want me to come in.
We can't help it then. Let's tell the director once he arrives.
- Okay. - Okay.
What's going on?
When did you get here?
I got here earlier.
What? Is there a problem with Jung Hee?
No, I think she's just not feeling well.
You still have to work even if you're not feeling well.
Don't you agree?
Is she here for money again?
Did you contact her?
What do you mean?
I didn't tell anybody about today's shooting.
It's fine.
I don't know what it is,
but she obeys her.
- Hey. - Yes, witch. I'm here.
I'm here alone, so don't be nervous.
I'm here to support you on your first day of shooting.
Thank you.
You're going to start soon. What's wrong with your face?
Sit down.
Look at you. Does Director Sung know?
You must be around three months.
Congratulations.
You wanted a baby for 10 years. You're finally pregnant.
Hee Jae...
Wait.
If it's been three months, you knew in Thailand too.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm hurt. I was sick,
but I still came.
Hee Jae...
My baby...
is very ill.
Hee Jae?
Director.
I warned you.
I won't let you be around Jung Hee.
I won't come if she doesn't want me to.
You know that.
You are so...
And she might not need that.
- When is he getting here? - We need to shoot.
- Director. - Hey.
What's going on?
Director, Jung Hee disappeared.
(My Husband)
Jae Deok.
- Are you all right? - I...
wanted to raise my baby well.
My baby...
No, our baby.
I really wanted...
to raise our baby as the most wonderful kid in the world.
But...
our dear baby...
- Jung Hee. - Our baby is...
It doesn't matter if our baby is sick in the body or the mind.
We must love our baby, and it deserves to be loved.
I'm sorry, Jae Deok.
Be careful on your way home.
Don't shock people to death.
- To death? - If someone sees you...
in a white hanbok and that hair, who wouldn't die of shock?
Where are you? I'll go pick you up.
It's okay. I think I can find my way back.
Please tell the production crew...
that I went to get some air.
Make sure people don't see you.
Okay.
I'm sorry that I made you worry.
Call me if you get lost.
Okay, Jae Deok.
Let's call it off, Myung Hee.
Oh, and make sure that you tell the production crew...
that nothing happened today.
Okay, Director Sung.
Ms. Lee, tell me...
what you saw that day.
Tell me.
Ms. Lee?
"10 cobwebs were spun."
"The mirror was broken in half."
"I have been cursed."
"Curse is upon me."
Honey.
("In Memoriam")
What happened?
You met Lee Jung Hee, right?
Did you ask her?
She was too rash.
She just spilled everything that she thought of.
You did ask her, right?
What did she say?
"10 cobwebs were spun."
"The mirror was broken in half."
"I have been cursed."
What are you talking about?
I have no idea.
But what I'm sure of...
is that something did happen to her on that day.
- Like what? - I don't know.
We have to find that out...
to make her talk.
Eun Ji.
Hey.
I'm going to work part-time there tomorrow, so I'll try to find out.
If it doesn't work, I'll ask her myself.
Did your aunt meet that actress?
Yes. Did you hear us?
Not on purpose.
I think she met her for an interview.
What interview?
What? Are you interested?
I'm only interested in you.
- Goodness. - Right, about that video.
Han Tae Gyu.
Yes, did you look into it?
Yes. He resigned.
Why?
I don't know the details,
but he got fired because he stood up against a prosecutor.
Anyway, what should we do after we watch a movie?
What do you think?
Go home, wash up, and sleep.
Wait for me.
I'm sorry about Ms. Lee.
If you allow me, I'd like to apologize to her myself.
The prisoner that escaped.
You really look like her.
The police were mistaken about that too.
I don't care about that.
I don't care if you are Ma Ji Won or someone else.
But I do want you to remember this.
My wife is about to make a comeback after a long hiatus.
She gets overly sensitive with every little thing,
so she surprises me and everyone around her.
I'm not sure what you want to know,
but I do not wish to see you around her.
I cannot promise you that.
I have a job to do too.
I'm not asking you. It's a warning.
My ridiculous title as the director who's loved by the entire nation...
can be used in a scary way.
Director Sung.
No matter how scary your threat sounds,
there is a time when you just cannot run away.
That's the case for me.
If I run, I will be in such pain that dying would probably be better.
If Ms. Lee is the only one who can save me,
do you think...
I will step back?
It's packed.
How did you not know of this place? You live right around the corner.
The husband is always the last to know.
I think you're just slow.
Did you tell me to come early to bully me?
When are we going to borrow the outfit?
Be quiet.
I have a feeling that something good will happen today.
- Coffee. - Money!
My gosh, this is awful.
I closed my eyes.
Anyway, why did Ms. Ma make Ms. Lee cry yesterday?
She almost left us out of the invitation too.
I have no idea.
Do you know? You two are close.
Well, I didn't hear it from her,
but I heard this from Ms. Park.
Ms. Park?
You know, the woman who showed us around.
Yes, right. What did she say?
I don't know the details,
but it all happened when she asked her about...
a movie that Mr. Sung filmed nine years ago.
That "Shaman" or something?
Yes, that one.
Ms. Lee wasn't even in that movie.
Why did Ms. Ma ask her that?
She interviewed her for her next book.
Her interview isn't even that important.
Why did she do that to her?
Goodness, Ms. Yang. Don't be so ignorant.
Writers get down to the bottom of everything when they're focused.
She made a huge fuss,
looking for Ms. Lee from the moment she moved here...
to get an interview with her.
She wanted to interview her and write a masterpiece.
Goodness.
Isn't that right, Ms. Oh?
A writer who lives around here must be rich, right?
What on earth are you saying?
What do you mean?
I was there nine years ago when Jung Hee was shooting "Shaman".
Who are you?
Goodness. I didn't introduce myself.
I'm Bae Hee Jae. Never mind. What's important is that...
I was Jung Hee's stylist for a long time.
Of course, I quit long ago,
but what's for sure is...
that I was definitely there...
at the time of the incident you're asking about.
Wasn't Seo So Jung the lead actress?
Honey. Is the writer testing me?
Is she?
You seem interested now.
Sorry.
Recently,
some strange people have been coming by.
You're slow to notice things.
Very well.
What happened that day?
Something terrible enough to make someone leave the set.
A murder happened nearby.
Are you talking about that?
No, not that.
Jung Hee was...
You know. She was about three months along.
Jung Hee?
I heard she had no children.
That's the point.
She did something to the kid that she shouldn't have.
It's the perfect topic for your book and I can't tell you for free.
Just show me how appreciative you are,
and I'll tell you everything that happened that day.
The book will be a hit when it comes out.
- Right? - That's so obvious.

(Guest List)
(Ma Ji Won, local resident)
She knows something important?
Just in case, see what she and Jung Hee talk about.
Okay.
Welcome.
I'm so envious.
You live in a great house with a great guy and got a great role.
All of that isn't worth more than your youth.
Is it not?
Good luck on your new project, Jung Hee.
Thank you, sir. Good luck.
Let's get some wine.
I'm Baek Doo Won.
Please don't take photos on the second floor.
Congressman Baek Doo Won and his aide are coming up.
Congressman.
Can we not take photos with our phones?
Don't you worry.
There's an incredibly famous photographer on standby.
- Come this way. - Okay.
- Congressman Baek's here. - Okay.
Ms. Lee.
This is Congressman Baek Doo Won.
Thank you so much for coming. Welcome.
- Nice to meet you. - Welcome.
- This is Director Sung Jae Deok. - Honey.
Nice to meet you. I'm Baek Doo Won.
I'm Sung Jae Deok.
- Let's all take a photo. - Sure.
- Shall we have some wine? - Sure.
- Come this way. - Sure.
- Are you okay? - Guests are waiting downstairs.
- Are they? - Go ahead.
See you.
- Welcome. - Hello.
Hello.
Welcome. Come this way.
Ahn Seong Tae, Bae Hee Jae. Bae Hee Jae, Ahn Seong Tae.
Just a moment.
Hee Jae and Ahn Seong Tae are here.
Oh, here you are.
Bae Hee Jae and Ahn Seong Tae are coming upstairs.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Jung Hee, are you okay?
Hey, Eun Ji.
Working part-time?
When did you come in?
Much earlier on.
So, how do I look?
You're overdressed. Do you want to debut?
Hey.
I got a massage and had my hair done to come here.
Seriously.
Eun Ji.
You're all dressed up in a uniform,
but what's that in your hair?
This?
It was a present.
It's so childish.
Shall I buy you a new one?
Can you excuse me?
Hey.
Come on.
She needs help. She's not moving.
(Send 30,000 dollars)
- Aunt. - What is it?
It's about Bae Hee Jae.
- Is she sleeping? - No, this is not normal.
I don't know.
- Is she sleeping? - Is she dead?
(Episode 12)
What's going on?
What do you mean? How is she dead?
I saw her talking to Jung Hee, and I followed her upstairs.
It happened while I took my eyes off of her for a second.
Is the chief constable there?
Yes.
If this is a murder case, the killer would be there.
Tell him to ban the people from leaving the house.
- Okay. - And find her husband first.
Ahn Seong Tae?
He knew Jung Hee for a long time.
He knows something.
Hold on...
What are you doing? You're the police.
- What? - If she was murdered,
the killer is here.
You should avoid the situation for now.
Someone died. Shouldn't I take a look?
If it's a murder case, everyone in here becomes a suspect.
You don't have to become a suspect with them.
My name is Jo Chang Gil.
This way, sir.
Goodbye.
You two.
Stand right here and keep guard.
You can't let anyone leave without my permission, okay?
What do you mean?
Someone just died.
That means there is a murderer in here.
- There's a murderer in here. - My goodness.
There's a killer in here?
- What? - My goodness.
- A murder case? - What's going on?
Honey.
I'm scared, Jae Deok.
Why did you invite them?
I don't know how they found out,
but they called me first.
Anyway, where's Hee Jae?
My goodness.
Who on earth would do that?
We just lost three people only days ago.
What is happening?
I'm so scared.
Maybe we should do an exorcism.
I know this good shaman.
Ms. Yang, are you drunk?
Why would you do an exorcism in this day and age?
Do ghosts not exist anymore just because it's the modern age?
Excuse me.
Do you know whose glass that is?
Goodness, I think she was holding that before.
That means there is...
a high possibility that the murderer put something in her drink.
- What? - Something is in the drink?
- In the glass? - Is this safe?
- Leave it here. - I had some already.
You did?
Darn it.
My gosh, Ms. Oh. Are you okay?
- My goodness. - What do we do now?
My gosh.
Was there poison in this too?
- I had some. - Are you okay?
Mr. Choi?
A murder?
That's what the chief of the precinct station thinks.
- What do you think? - What do I think?
A woman who kept on lurking around Jung Hee...
to get money out of her just died.
What do you think?
What do you mean?
Is this that difficult to understand?
So you think Jung Hee killed Hee Jae?
So Jung, it looks like you haven't given up on our movie.
It looks like you wish to take the lead role...
if Jung Hee decides to drop out.
Jung Hee isn't a good actress for this movie, don't you think?
Director Sung made the decision.
If you think his decision was wrong, you should have stepped up.
You're the assistant director.
- I did tell him. - You did?
That I didn't know about anyone else,
but that Ms. Seo So Jung would be the last person we should work with.
Bad news for you.
I'm starting to like you a little. I mean it.
(Guest List)
This is the list of people who are here?
Probably.
(Spouse: Ahn Seong Tae, Spouse: Bae Hee Jae)
She came here with her husband.
Right?
Mr. Ahn Seong Tae?
Mr. Ahn, are you here?
Sir?
His wife died,
and the husband disappeared?
Mr. Ahn is gone?
Yes, so Chief Jo is convinced that he's the key suspect.
I'll call you again.
- What's going on? - Who's the director?
I heard he's a famous director.
Be careful with fire.
What brings you here?
My money.
- You have something very dangerous. - Don't come near me!
You have bullets too. Where did you get this?
Well, it's...
That's mine.
Where's the money?
It's...
Fine!
My wife just died.
Look at this. Once I get the death benefit,
I can pay you back in full and have some left.
Thank you for the thought.
But you still shouldn't kill your perfectly healthy wife.
No, I didn't kill her!
- Did she really die? - I didn't do it!
You two.
You two can talk later.
Why don't you leave this place first?
(Life Insurance Plan, Insured: Bae Hee Jae)
Was Ms. Bae aware that you enrolled her in life insurance?
Of course, she...
She didn't know.
A friend of mine needed better performance, so I just...
A female friend of yours?
Yes, I've known her since a long time ago.
Look at you.
Are you having an affair?
Did you know...
that you can't receive the money if you kill her?
- I didn't kill her. - Then why did you run?
Who will they be suspicious of if my wife died...
after I enrolled her in life insurance?
Then why did you try to burn these?
They'll get suspicious of me because of that.
You idiot.
Do you think your plan will be gone just because you burn those?
You should try to walk in my shoes.
I mean, seriously.
Is there anyone you're suspicious of?
Is there anyone...
who would hold a grudge against your wife in there?
Right, Director Sung.
Director Sung Jae Deok?
He said Jung Hee had to retire because of my wife.
How long will you mooch off of Jung Hee?
Mr. Sung, that is way over the line.
We aren't moochers.
Don't you pity her?
Jung Hee suffered for nine years because of you.
That's not because of me.
It's not?
Get out of here right now.
That's enough.
We are here because your wife invited us.
What does he mean that she suffered for nine years?
Does that mean they kept seeing each other?
Not at all. We had no idea that Jung Hee lived there.
Then when did you last see her?
Let's see.
The first shooting of "Shaman".
Tell me.
What happened that day?
I don't know, to be honest.
You said it would be a hit if it came out as a book.
I just played along with my wife's game.
I wasn't there that day.
What was that about Jung Hee's being pregnant?
I heard that for the first time today.
Did you not see her since?
You must've extorted her again.
No, it's not like I'm a thug...
- Ahn Seong Tae. - Yes.
During her photoshoot in Thailand.
- We met then. - A photoshoot?
It was two months or so before she shot "Shaman".
(9 years ago)
See her later or you'll give Jung Hee your cold.
It's now or never. She flies back in two days.
We need...
all we can get to pay for the hotel and air fare.
You're really tough, you know that?
That's rich, coming from a blackmailer of 10 years.
Come on.
- Hand it over. - What?
There must be a reason she paid you off for 10 years.
That's...
- at the office. - Why you little...
I said you'd die if you lied. Hand it over.
What's this?
You know.
That.
A video.
You were her manager.
It's a thing in Japan to keep actresses under control.
I'll give this back later.
Bring me the money before I kill you.
Thanks for your help.
I'd like you to do one more thing for me.
Why did you ask to meet here?
Hello, Mal Goo.
Woo Joon will be so pleased today.
Woo Joon.
I know you feel more lonely and sad than any one of us.
I also know it's overwhelming for a kid your age.
But you have to...
get over all that.
- Aunt. - Your wounded heart.
No one else can heal it for you.
What are you doing?
We won't come to see you again, so don't wait for us.
That will...
help you get over what you're going through.
People's pity...
is what makes you weak.
I met your dad.
He's worried about you.
He said...
he didn't want what happened.
So stay strong until your older sister comes.
Okay?
Okay.
Good.
Ma'am.
That man.
He's not my dad.
I'll start, sir.
"I drifted away from my friends..."
"and landed on a deserted island."
Something's wrong.
No, sir.
No?
You sound like you just got beaten up.
What happened to...
the kid you said you'd bring over?
I can't believe I got to hear you sigh before I die.
- I apologize, sir. - Forget the book.
Let's hear the story that made Ko Mal Goo sigh.
That would be more fun.
Your aunt was harsh.
She wasn't wrong,
but think about it.
The kid's practically an orphan.
Eun Ji, there are still people around.
Just for a moment.
Let's stay like this for a while.
Min Seo.
Why are you so downcast?
Because I miss you.
Really?
- Min Seo. - What?
If Mommy...
gives you a hug, will you still stay?
Where would I go?
Come here.
Aunt.
They got a print.
On Bae Hee Jae's glass,
we found Lee Jung Hee's prints.
No one else's?
And few prints belonging to the part-timers.
What was her cause of death?
She'd ingested a large amount of sedatives.
It was a drug-induced shock.
Then...
Jung Hee spiked the wine with a sedative...
and gave it to Hee Jae?
Yes.
They'd been blackmailing Jung Hee for a long time.
Then she really did it?
Most likely. She has a motive, and there's evidence against her.
Did anyone see Jung Hee put something in the glass?
No.
But there's a video of the housewarming party.
Why did you take this video?
It's extra footage.
Behind-the-scenes stuff.
You must be kidding.
It doesn't look like it's just that.
This punk.
Secret filming is illegal. You know that, right?
You edited this video, right?
They don't connect. It's segmented.
I went out for a smoke at times. I need a break too.
- What? - Goodness.
What's this?
This is a part of the video Mr. Choi took.
I directed him to film it.
Anyway, why are you showing us this?
Bae Hee Jae died...
from the large amount of sedatives in the glass.
In the glass?
Did you put it in there?
Why would I?
- Did you hear that? - Hey, come on.
Was the glass yours from the beginning?
I think so.
I think I took it from the living room.
Then it would have been done in the living room.
Seong Tae did it.
Why did you give your glass to Hee Jae?
I don't know.
Maybe Hee Jae's glass was empty,
or maybe I asked her to hold onto it.
Was there anything filmed before or after this?
We'll learn what the situation was then.
This is it for that time.
What do you mean?
The video was very segmented in general.
Stop wasting your time and list Seong Tae on the wanted list.
Why would I?
She's a strong suspect.
What?
Chang Gil, there are Jung Hee's fingerprints on the glass,
and the person who threatened her drank from it and died.
It's obvious.
That's not it.
What is it then?
Oh, gosh. Listen.
Seong Tae extorted her,
but Ms. Lee just started acting again.
She has no money.
She couldn't ask her husband to help her,
so she said she had no money.
That would make Seong Tae mad,
so he wanted to teach her a lesson.
He added the sedatives in Jung Hee's glass,
but the glass went to his wife.
And he merely watched?
When his wife was about to die?
Have you heard of "killing 2 birds with 1 stone"?
Sorry?
Look.
Is this insurance under Bae Hee Jae?
The glass was about to get handed off to his wife,
but he remembered this.
Plus, he knew...
the glass was covered in Jung Hee's fingerprints.
It's bingo. Bingo.
This is "killing 2 birds with 1 stone".
You catch fish, lobster, and everything else.
That sounds plausible.
Didn't you see Jung Hee's face?
She watched the video and trembled.
Oh, gosh.
- Why? - Didn't I tell you?
I tremble whenever I see your face too.
Goodness.
What would we do if Jung Hee gets arrested?
It'll be odd if you ask a criminal...
who the criminal she saw years earlier was.
We can't be sure yet.
We don't know who added the sedatives in the glass.
Moreover, the motive doesn't fit.
What motive?
The motive behind killing Hee Jae.
Hee Jae threatened her.
Strictly speaking, it was Seong Tae who threatened her.
He's been extorting her since her debut.
If it's neither Jung Hee nor Seong Tae, who is it?
Seong Tae said Director Sung openly resented Hee Jae.
Because of that woman, Jung Hee retired...
and lived in pain for a long time.
No, it's not him though.
Why would he add sedatives in his wife's glass to kill Hee Jae?
How did he know it would end up in Hee Jae's hand?
His wife could have died.
According to Seong Tae, it has to be Jung Hee.
She retired because Hee Jae tortured her.
She had a motive.
But don't you think she knew her fingerprints were on the glass?
If she wrapped the glass in a napkin, nobody would've found out.
The only thing we know is that Jung Hee's glass was spiked,
and it was given to Hee Jae.
The most important thing...
is to reveal who added the sedative in that glass.
I'm sure there is a witness.
Auntie,
what if...
that person added it?
Who?
The one who can't have Jung Hee resurface.
That's because you don't know yourself.
What do you mean?
You're not genuine.
You're covered by an impressive shell.
If you peel one layer, there's another one.
If you peel that layer,
there's more. That's you.
If you peel the layers repeatedly,
do you know what's left in the end?
Nothing.
Cut. Okay.
It was excellent.
I felt...
your soul in it.
I'm deeply moved that I get to watch...
this spectacular sight in my life.
You're too kind.
You two shouldn't worry.
I'll arrest Seong Tae...
and get him to confess.
So please continue...
to act beautifully.
I plead you.
- Jung Hee? - Yes, thank you.
I'm encouraged by your words.
Are you?
Go ahead.
- Jae Deok. - Yes?
- Why? - Who doesn't want to see Jung Hee?
The person who killed your daughter.
She's the witness.
Isn't that murderer back since the witness is?
He's trying to stop her.
Jae Deok...
The coffee... It's weird.
Honey.
- Honey... - Oh, gosh.
- Honey. - What's going on?
Honey.
(Constable Bae)
Yes, hello?
What?
Jung Hee collapsed.
(DH: Lee Jung Hee drank coffee with poison in it.)
(Delete)
It's me.
Yes.
I'll meet Jung Hee.
(Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge)
I asked to call.
Is it really them?
The killer Jung Hee witnessed?
How do you know about it?
Why is she there? Why?
Wasn't Han Tae Gyu with your husband?
