What's your name?
Me?
Oh.
[ Episode 3 ]
Kim Cheong Ah?
You have a pretty name, though.
"Though"?
Just my name, huh?
Koo Joon Gyeom?
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
♫ Happy birthday Koo Joon Gyeom whom I just met ♫
♫ Happy birthday to you ♫
What the heck?
Hey!
A birthday beating!
Man, not these sneakers.
Hey.
You're dying on your birthday. That bothers you?
"We come empty, and we leave empty."
Human beings come empty-handed and leave the same.
Whether you're the top-tier or the bottom-feeder.
Death is equal for everyone.
"We come empty-handed, and we leave empty-handed."
Aigoo, the airheads love to talk.
So...
you're a bottom-feeder?
Yup, on my good days.
Are you laughing at me?
Is it obvious? Geez...
But Mr. Top Tier.
If you die,
someone will take your spot at the university. You're doing a good deed.
What about me, though?
Wow, a bottom-feeder is useless even in death.
Why lament that all of a sudden?
I'm completely useless, no matter how I look at it.
It's so beautiful.
If there is a tomorrow,
what will you be doing?
Then...
I'll ask you out.
What?
I'll have feelings for you.
What will you do?
If there is a tomorrow.
Well, then I'll be...
searching for the soldier ahjussi.
Did you just reject me?
I guess I did.
I've never told a girl my feelings before.
It's my first time hearing it, too.
But it's a flat-out rejection?
I know.
A bottom-feeder rejects a top-tier.
The power of love ousts even death.
We're on equal footing.
What?
Let's be friends.
Together, forever and always.
[ I'll be home tomorrow. Sorry. I'm really sorry, Mom. ]
[ 010-324-7115 ]
Hello?
Are you Koo Joon Gyeom's guardian?
Yes.
May I ask who's calling?
This is the Yangpyeong Police Department.
Koo Joon Gyeom has been in an accident.
Yes. You'll have to come and verify things.
An accident?
I'll explain when you get here.
Please come to Yangpyeong Woorideul University Hospital.
No, you can tell me now.
Why would my Joon Gyeom be in a hospital...
Tell me what happened, please.
He's dead.
Since we identified him, he'll be transferred to the hospital.
No...
No, it can't be.
No...
[ Mom ]
What should I do?
[ My younger son ]
The customer is not answer the phone. You'll be connected to the voicemail.
After you're connected, there will be an additional fee.
No!
Honey, what are you doing?
It's me, your husband.
What is all this?
Honey, what are you doing?
Honey!
How could you...
Why would you do this...
No, it's not like that...
What do you mean, no?
It's not me. Not at all...
- It's not me, but... - Who is it?
Who would attempt such a horrid thing?
Cheong Ah.
Our Cheong Ah.
- What? - Honey.
The police will be calling soon.
Before the police find all this, please get rid of it.
Hurry, please hurry.
Please.
[ Yangpyeong Police Station: For Public Order and Safety of Yangpyeong ]
Aigoo...
You won't change your clothes?
I know it's summer, but you'll catch a cold.
Okay, then. We'll now compose the witness' statement.
We must do this for me to let you go home.
It'll be hard for you, but please cooperate.
What is your relationship with deceased Koo Joon Gyeom?
Why ditch school and come to Yangpyeong?
Whose idea was it?
Your parents will be here soon.
Let's get the sensitive questions out of the way, okay?
Were you two in a relationship?
Different schools and different towns.
When did you first meet?
Aigoo, just answer me, will you?
If you keep mum, you'll have to stay here.
Okay? Here we go.
Why the river in the middle of the night?
When Koo Joon Gyeom fell in the water...
where were you?
Cheong Ah.
- Mom... - It's okay.
Dad...
Honey, what are you doing?
I won't forgive you.
I can't forgive you!
- I won't! - Honey.
- Go outside, go outside. - Let go of me!
Honey,
please don't say anything, please.
- Go outside. - Kim Cheong Ah.
Starting right now...
you're not my daughter!
- You doing this to us... - Honey, shut your mouth!
Go outside.
Let's go outside. Come with me, Honey.
Do you want to see your daughter
be charged for accessory to suicide?
She has her whole life ahead of her.
Should she be labeled with accessory to suicide?
What about the dead boy's parents?
They should know the truth behind their son's death.
No truth is more important than our daughter's life.
He may be dead, but our daughter is alive.
Today, tomorrow, and the day after...
Our Cheong Ah must go on living.
Accessory to suicide or double suicide.
People just love to talk.
Unless you want to sacrifice your daughter, keep your mouth shut.
No...
Don't come inside. Just stay here.
I'll take care of it.
Honey, please...
Okay?
Wake up.
Joon Gyeom, wake up.
Why are you here like this?
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes, Joon Gyeom.
Please.
It's time for school.
You must wash up, eat breakfast, and go to school.
Joon Gyeom...
Koo Joon Gyeom.
My son.
My dear son...
Mom.
Mom!
Mom.
I'm right by your side,
but you think of Hyung more, huh?
- Does it seem like that? - Even now.
Because I can't see him even though I miss him.
But I can see you anytime I want.
Man, I should've studied abroad, too.
So you can really miss me.
I know you didn't because of me.
After your dad and I got divorced, you thought I'd have a hard time.
And?
Was I of any help?
Very much so.
Really?
Yes, I survived thanks to you.
So you don't have to tail me anymore.
I'm totally fine.
No, I won't stop. I'll keep tailing you.
Mom.
Yes?
Mom.
What is it? Tell me.
Mom!
I love you.
Joon Gyeom...
Here, eat.
What about Dad?
He's outside.
Don't leave him out in the scorching sun.
Give your statement and let's go home.
My blood sugar level is low.
I'm shaking and about to collapse right now.
You should eat.
Only if you will.
Here.
Eat.
Seriously...
Aigoo...
His mom is a judge of all things.
Man, seriously...
[ For Public Order and Safety of Yangpyeong ]
I'm Detective Kim Bong Kyun from the Yangpyeong Department.
My condolences, Judge Hong Yoo Ra.
We heard you talking to the court, and made some inquiries.
Before I give my statement, can I see the photos of the scene?
- Of course. - We'll get them ready now...
You are his family. Of course, you should see them.
I'll go ahead and get them ready.
The girl who was with my son.
Did she give her statement?
No. She's suffering from shock, so not yet.
Her name is Kim Cheong Ah and attends Mi Kang Girl's High School.
Would you happen to know her?
I'm sure you'll know when you see her inside.
You must be hot. Let's go inside.
How can you eat right now?
- It's not like that. I told her to... - My son...
My Joon Gyeom is dead.
My son is dead. He's dead!
I said, my son is dead!
Don't you dare eat! Don't eat!
Don't eat, don't you dare!
You better not eat!
Go.
Go and bring my son.
Go bring my son back to life!
Bring my son back to life...
Go and...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry.
I only had eyes for my child.
I only thought about my daughter.
Your child is dead...
and I only thought about feeding mine.
She's not dead, but alive...
Thank God, my daughter is alive.
Thank God, thank God...
That's all I could think of.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...
I'm sorry...
"Ms. Smiley."
You smile even as you submit an apology?
My apologies.
No wonder my nickname is "Ms. Smiley."
Fine, it's a formal procedure, let's leave it at that.
What you pulled yesterday...
Is it a show or a sense of justice?
Pardon?
That was your attempt to stardom, right?
Not to leave the industry.
Take your pick.
Before I blacklist you.
Then...
I'll say it was for stardom.
You better not do it again.
I'll boot you from all the news and TV shows.
Yes, ma'am.
Get lost.
Yes, ma'am.
Why should I pick one?
I can have it all.
Give me the boot.
Then I'll shoot to stardom and get scouted elsewhere.
"Naro Wooju has state-of-the-art facilities for research and development..."
I put aside that outfit, Sunbae.
You did? Then wear something else.
Pardon?
My news desk starts in 30 minutes.
What do you want me to do? Take it off?
Sunbae, you're heading the evening news.
- Let me wear it first... - Hey, hey, hey!
Stop spewing nonsense.
Bae Hyun Ji of the 9 o'clock news
should wear what Kim Seol Ah wore in the afternoon news?
That's not what I meant. I'm in a hurry...
That's when your true colors shine, "Ms. Smiley."
Look in the mirror.
Your face right now is the real you.
"Ms. Smiley," you're not smiling.
I thought you were a smiling doll.
We have many stores sponsoring us.
Take your pick.
And don't be such a brand-whore.
I hear you go work out in Cheongdamdong.
And attend a church in Apgujeong.
Why do you live like that?
Due to ambitious opportunists like you,
the female announcers are treated as wholesale commodities.
Sunbae, you keep wearing that brand.
This ambitious opportunist will forgo domestic brands
- and wear foreign luxury brands. - What?
Yeah, right. Go ahead and try.
Oh, that's right. I hear your parents own a chicken joint.
A teeny-tiny one.
You're trying real hard from the slums.
Yes.
I must try hard to escape the slums.
Who knows? Maybe I'll succeed.
The old sayings are true at times.
Now I'm off to find me some clothes.
Something better than that outfit.
"When there's a will, there's a way."
The slum folks still believe in that.
Foreign luxury brands don't sponsor just anybody.
Where are you running off to? We're 20 minutes from showtime.
Of the dramas taping today,
are there any female attorneys or career women characters?
- What? - What?
Never mind. I'll be right back.
- Okay. - Thank you.
Hello.
I'm announcer Kim Seol Ah.
Oh, that's right.
Your closing statement yesterday, wow...
Are you finished taping or...
are you about to start?
I'm done, and I'm about to leave.
- Why do you ask? - Well, then...
please lend me your outfit.
Pardon?
We go live in 20 minutes.
Please do me this favor.
I'll return the favor someday.
Please help me out today, Da Som.
My horoscope said I'd meet a VIP today.
Naro Space Center where the historic launch will take place
is located on Oenarudo Island, the tip of Jeollanamdo Province.
It was completed after nine-and-a-half years of construction.
Naro Wooju Center has state-of-the-art facilities for research and development,
and is projected to be the epicenter of Korea's space science.
Reporter Na Hoo Hyun has the story.
[ For Public Order and Safety of Yangpyeong ]
You became friendly with Koo Joon Gyeom this year,
and started contacting each other due to your "My World" BGM.
What music was it?
I had Piazzolla's "Libertango" playing on my homepage.
On Joon Gyeom's "My World" homepage...
Piazzolla's "Oblivion" was the BGM.
"Libertango" and "Oblivion."
When and where did you first meet?
When and where did you two meet for the first time?
Well, that's...
You said you met at Hongdae.
I gave you 30,000 won that day.
Actually...
it was the end of May or beginning of June.
The day you had marinated chicken.
Is that true?
Yes.
What time did you arrive in Yangpyeong?
Did you come together?
We met at Kudun Station at 1 o'clock.
What did you guys do?
It says you checked-in at 3:20 p.m.
We bought some clothes...
and took a walk by the river.
And?
Hey, hey, look here.
What did you do between the check-in and the time of the incident?
List everything in chronological order.
Ttukboki...
Ttukboki? What about it?
Gosh, so good.
It's that good?
Yeah. I'm so happy right now.
How could one be so happy with one ttukboki?
Pardon me.
Must we continue?
She's been here for 10 hours.
I'll take her home so she can get some sleep.
Continue your investigation,
and we'll be back if you need anything further.
Wow, 10 hours...
Shall we do that then?
Get up. Let's go, Cheong Ah.
Aigoo...
Who are you?
I said, who are you?
His girlfriend.
They've been dating since spring.
Your son booked the villa reservations, not my daughter.
Take a good look.
I said, take a look.
If he jumped in the river because it was too hot,
if he suffered an accident while swimming...
He didn't take off his shoes and his watch?
The sneakers were a birthday gift from his older brother.
The watch is a birthday gift from me.
Why would he go swimming with them on?
What happened to my son?
What did you do to my son?
Tell me. You know.
Tell me! And you better not lie.
You tell me what happened to my son!
Ma'am.
He tried to save my daughter.
He suffered an accident while trying to save Cheong Ah.
What did you say?
My daughter went swimming alone.
He saw her drowning because of a cramp in her leg...
and he saved her.
Well, he jumped in after Cheong Ah to save her...
You mean, he died trying to save you?
Is this true?
An accident is better than suicide.
For both him and his mom.
His mom will die if she's told her son committed suicide.
You couldn't protect him, but
you can protect his mom.
I said, is it true?
Oh, Daddy!
Daddy.
Mommy, Unni!
Mommy, Unni...
How many security cams are in the vicinity?
I want to see the footage from when they went in and out.
Those are the basics, we've already checked.
- And? - No cameras.
Not even one.
What about their cellphones?
We're searching the riverbank.
Search the river, too.
That girl is not my son's girlfriend.
If he had one, I would've known about it.
You think you know your child the best.
All parents think that.
You must've seen many juvenile cases, Madam Judge.
We're only going by her words.
All we have is her statement.
She admitted he died while trying to save her.
And he had no external injuries.
What are you suspecting here?
Well, then...
would you like an autopsy?
I mean, I don't think you'd want that.
They take everything out, then shove them back in.
Gosh, my apologies.
Find their cellphones ASAP.
Once we check the call history and the texts,
we'll see if she's telling the truth or a blatant lie.
Yes, ma'am.
Why did she do it?
I don't know.
Your daughter tried to kill herself,
and you have no idea why as her mom?
What will you do now?
What will I do now?
Since we can't afford beef broth, I'll make her chicken soup.
Why did she do it?
Just why?
Check the area carefully.
Yes.
Keep looking.
The cellphones may have been shattered and broken.
So look under all the rocks, okay?
Yes, sir.
Let's go in a little deeper. That's not the only area!
He tried to save my daughter.
He suffered an accident while trying to save Cheong Ah.
But she's not your girlfriend.
Who is she?
Why did you come here with her?
Koo Joon Gyeom...
Is it almost done?
Man, why am I freaking hungry?
What?
I don't even seem human, huh?
I hate myself, too, Honey.
Yes, you're right.
I shouldn't be eating.
I'm her father after all. It's only right...
that I have no appetite at all.
I have the decency to do that at least.
Gosh darn it.
I said I won't eat.
Why are you going nuts?
Oh, are you hungry?
Huh?
No, I'm not. I'm not hungry.
How could I be hungry?
Even if I were, I wouldn't eat.
- I won't eat. - Have a seat.
I'll bring it out.
Skipping a meal won't kill me. A boy just died.
Why wouldn't you eat? The living must go on.
I'm going to eat.
And I'll feed Cheong Ah, Yeon Ah, and Seol Ah.
What about me?
You eat, too. Please enjoy.
I slaved over this soup.
Then Cheong Ah will eat, too.
Who is Cheong Ah? I don't know her.
I'm eating for your sake.
Here.
Since you'd be uncomfortable around your dad, I set you a separate table.
You can't say no. Eat it all.
What about Yeon Ah?
She's at a friend's house.
Then I'll eat later when she gets back.
Do you feel the fan?
Yes.
Then change your clothes so I can wash them.
Later.
I'll do the laundry later.
What do you mean later?
What will you do if Seol Ah starts grilling you?
Must you put the entire family into shock?
Do you think I'm keeping quiet because I'm at a loss for words?
I told your dad not to breathe a word.
So act like nothing happened.
Eat, sleep, and go to school on Monday.
We must prevent any rumors.
If the word gets out at school...
then your life will be turned upside down.
Take those clothes off.
If not, you'll be reminded of the incident.
You won't take them off?
Take them off already.
No need for a washer.
I'll burn them up right now.
Cheong Ah.
Must you upset me like this?
This is hard for me.
I'm so exhausted.
How can you let me down like this?
Even though things are difficult.
How am I supposed to live?
How did you expect me to go on?
How am I supposed to live without you?
"Why did she do this?"
"Where did I go wrong?
"You were suffering so much, yet how come I had no clue?"
I'm scared even to ask.
Because I might be the reason.
Having such incompetent parents...
It's our fault you did this...
What is all this?
Huh?
What happened here? Huh?
What on earth...
What happened?
I said, what is all this?
[ Episode 4 ] What is all this!
At school...
my friends...
What?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Why... why would you be sorry?
I'm the one sorry.
I'm really sorry, Cheong Ah.
I had no idea...
I had no idea my daughter was going through this.
Hey!
I said the fast lane!
So that we can make a left turn...
Go to the fast lane!
The fast lane!
Stupid.
Idiot.
Slowpoke.
What? No apology?
Say, "I'm sorry!"
No apology?
I'm sorry, Chairwoman!
What are you doing?
We got the green light!
Did you?
It was great today.
- Right? - Yes.
See you next time.
Should we go and eat something yummy?
Yes.
Goodbye.
Hi, son.
Come to the hotel by 7 p.m.
You've got the speech ready, right?
Of course, I did.
No, I'll be driving.
The driver should get some rest.
The President of the Inter Market.
The reporters should be coming, too.
Why?
About the clothes?
Everything looks good on you.
Worry less about clothes, and more about your speech.
Got it.
Got it, wear something pretty. Pretty!
Mirror, mirror, who is the fairest of them all?
Chairwoman Hong!
Chairwoman Hong Hwa Young.
I love you, too.
Yes.
See you later.
Run!
You slowpoke!
Run!
What? What's the problem now?
I... I must be having a heatstroke.
What?
Idiot.
- Not you, this. This! - Oh, yes.
This thing here is also having a heatstroke, so it's not working.
What?
Are you saying I need to get out and walk on my own two legs?
- Yes... - Yes?
Yes?
Or we could wait a little and valet park.
You can't bear a few minutes...
Hey, Kim Chang Soo.
My name is Kim Jang Soo, Chairwoman.
Chang Soo, Jang Soo, same difference.
If I call you Kim Chang Soo, you are Kim Chang Soo.
- Kim Chang Soo. - Yes, Chairwoman.
You, fired.
Fi - what?
- You're fired. - Huh?
Hand over the keys to the valet, and go home.
Bye.
I apologize, Chairwoman.
On the days you are here, we will manage the parking lot better.
Clothes?
They are waiting for you in the fitting room.
It was quite rowdy, wasn't it? I'm sorry.
Oh, well.
It must be tough for you.
Oh, yes.
She's a total sociopath.
You look so good in the dress.
- To wear it on air? - Huh?
Yes.
We also have it in Indian pink. Are you interested?
I think it would look lovely on you.
Actually...
could I try on the dress in the display window?
Of course.
Go and change. I'll bring it over to the fitting room.
Manager Yoon!
Yes!
What's this?
What kind of dress is this?
Is this my size?
Is this really my size?
So annoying!
Chairwoman!
Sorry, sorry.
Who was in charge of this absurdity?
Do you have eyes?
It's all messed up, from top to bottom!
Son! When did you get here?
To me, you look beautiful.
But maybe you could drop a few pounds.
Gosh, that's not true.
Look.
How can I wear something like this?
Who would wear this garbage?
Wow, you look beautiful.
Manager Yoon.
Yes?
Son, today...
Is that Kim Seol Ah?
I'll take off the dress now.
Yes.
Wake up.
There are eyes on us.
Rumors start in places like this.
Don't you dare eye her until we make sure she's not damaged goods.
What are we going to do starting tomorrow?
Do you want the driver?
Leave it. Do whatever.
I have to change now,
so just stay put, alright?
Got it.
Why don't you get the dress, too?
You looked so beautiful.
By the way,
is sponsorship possible?
I'm on the Noon News and Saturday variety shows,
and I've been booked for weekday varieties for the fall season.
It should be good PR.
In terms of sponsorships...
we only sponsor top actresses.
Yes...
Just get more famous!
Then we can make that happen.
Do you need to make installments?
Huh?
Yes.
It's three months, no interest.
In three months' installments?
Let's do 12 months.
Excuse me?
Okay.
Wanna die?
Goodbye.
Hey!
Do the sponsorship.
I'll sign approval.
What?
Her.
Kim Seol Ah.
I see.
But it's a secret to her and the Chairwoman.
Did you talk to her?
Talk?
What talk?
Kim Seol Ah.
No, how could I have?
You told me not to even look at her.
She asked about sponsorship.
She's so thick-skinned.
Yeah?
So, is she getting sponsored?
Someone like her? Of course not.
What kind of stupid sucker would sponsor a nobody like that?
A stupid sucker...
She bought it in 12-month installments.
12 months!
Hilarious.
If she rations her desire in 12-month installments,
that would be cute, no?
There's nothing to weigh or gauge.
She's damaged goods. Underqualified.
Geez. I messed up once again.
Look over there at that emaciated woman.
Who's that again?
Who else would it be?
MT Bio owner's wife.
Ah, yes.
Is she ill?
How come she lost so much weight?
She's not ill. Just sick with anger.
She's got the anger disease.
The idiot son from that family
was under the spell of an actress.
He entrusted his credit card at a brand name store.
He was stripped bare of everything.
She even used up his company card. All over the business pages in the news.
If you're done with your drink, let's get going.
Son.
I don't like her. Nope.
You saw her once.
One look tells you all you need to know.
Yeah?
Tell me ten things you know about Kim Seol Ah.
What?
If you can't,
I'll see her ten times and decide.
S***.
See? You don't know.
You can't even say one thing. Yet acting like you know.
She's penniless. That Kim Seol Ah.
That's all?
Not just penniless, a total beggar.
She's a parasite, a whale roundworm!
Oh, a parasite.
I'll just take an anthelmintic.
Do Jin Woo.
Will you really do this? Seriously?
Mom, I'm not a child.
Neither are you.
You think if you throw a tantrum in a public place this,
I'll back off,
but you're wrong. That's totally false.
I'm not too harsh here. You are.
Look at auntie. She got divorced.
Does she give meddle with Joon Hwi?
Does she obsess?
Joon Hwi lives his own life, and she lives her own life.
How dare you?
Auntie?
How dare you compare?
If you love your auntie so much, then go live with her.
With your oh-so-awesome auntie.
That's not what I meant!
I am trying to live with you, and I don't want to leave you alone.
So I'm trying to live with you even after I get married.
No matter what anyone says, I like you, Mom.
Alright? Is that good enough for you?
How dare you scream at me!
Do you think you can win me over like this?
Thank you.
Did you buy that?
Looks expensive.
I know. I did it again.
On a 12-month installment.
I should cut off my wrist or my credit card.
You should've told me. I could handle that much.
On a three-month installment.
Why would you?
Geez.
How careless to stomp on my feelings.
That kills me more. You know that?
Why did you want to see me?
I already told you how I felt.
Humans are full of contradictions.
You're so annoying, yet so devastatingly beautiful.
Not your face.
But your innocent brain.
I was thinking...
Kim Seol Ah is not "out of my league." She's a surefire shot.
What?
- A surefire shot? - Yeah.
I don't have to ward off the rotten ones. You'll do that yourself.
The wealthy elites don't want just anyone to infiltrate their cartel.
Just help me meet them.
You're confident, but I'm also confident.
Before you meet the millionaires, meet me first.
Ask me about them, and I'll ask you about you.
Let's start there.
I've always ranked first place.
First place in the entire school. 1% in the whole country.
Yeah, same here.
That's what I'm saying.
But what class do we belong to now?
How do you think our salary ranks in the entire country?
If we combine both our incomes...
I worked so, so hard to get to this point.
I got the Noon News.
I'll work even harder to get the 9 O'clock News.
And, then what?
- What after that? - So.
Your happiness is about money then.
Yes.
I want to be someone who is not bound by money.
Not bound by anything.
I don't want to give up ten things to barely get the one thing I want.
I want the power to choose anything and therefore let go of everything.
Sorry, Sunbae.
This is me. Bye.
Hey.
Hey!
Oh, and...
I'm not a surefire shot.
I learned this just now,
but I'm not a target at all.
So there's nothing for nobody to fire at.
Hey.
- Get off. This is my car. - We're late. Hop in.
Get out.
You fired Mr. Kim. Who's going to drive?
Do you want to drive?
For 1 million won, drag him out, and you drive.
Are you really not getting in?
Nope. No!
Yeah?
Alright. Take a cab then.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey, you bastard!
Hey!
Taxi.
Taxi!
Call me a cab. Taxi!
Taxi!
Drives me mad.
How could he?
The photo for Joon Gyeom's funeral...
Why don't you pick one out?
I can't go...
into Joon Gyeom's room.
Please tell the school tomorrow.
And to Hwa Young.
And Joon Hwi...
Later, at the funeral...
When we book the funeral home.
I'll call him then.
Funeral...
Aigoo, Joon Gyeom...
Joon Gyeom...
It was your birthday...
Sweet, sweet Joon Gyeom. Why...
For heaven's sake...
Why couldn't they have taken old me?
Why take Joon Gyeom, a boy with such a bright future.
Aigoo...
How is our Madam Judge supposed to live?
Apparently, he had a girlfriend.
A girlfriend I didn't know about.
He was rescuing her from the river.
What are you saying?
A girlfriend?
Joon Gyeom?
I know Joon Gyeom's schedule through and through.
How can you say such an absurd thing?
Who said that?
Bring me the person who said that.
I'm going to rip them apart.
How dare they make up a terrible lie. Just because he's not with us.
When and where did you two meet for the first time?
You said you met at Hongdae.
It was the end of May or beginning of June.
The day you had marinated chicken.
Is that true?
Yes.
Ahjumma.
When did Joon Gyeom and I go to New York?
What? New York?
You went all of a sudden at the end of May.
You took him out of school.
For about two weeks.
Kim Cheong Ah.
Who are you?
[ Koo Joon Gyeom ]
So, what are you struggling from so much
that you're here with me now?
Me.
What about you?
I've become a monster.
I...
eat people.
One, two...
Three, including my mom.
What in the world? Cannibalism?
You don't have to tell me if you don't want to.
Why make things up?
One person died.
A few days ago.
Park Kkeut Soon.
Kang Shi Wol.
Who are Park Kkeut Soon and Kang Shi Wol?
The names of the people I ate up.
[ Koo Joon Gyeom ]
Sorry.
I should have listened more carefully.
Park Kkeut Soon.
Kang Shi Wol. Who are these people, Joon Gyeom?
Who are you?
I said, who are you?
Mom.
What are you doing awake?
Why aren't you sleeping?
Come out.
We're facing a judge.
You felt it, too. They were bending over backward.
The detectives were powerless.
Judge?
This won't go over smoothly.
His mom won't let go easily.
If she finds about your relationship with him...
Think hard.
Is there anything you missed?
Things that his mom or the detectives cannot see.
Huh? What?
What?
What is it?
The letter Joon Gyeom left me.
Letter?
What letter?
A suicide note?
Where is that now?
In the pocket of my training clothes.
What do we do?
It's at the police station.
What?
A suicide note?
You must sleep.
If you stay awake, you'll go crazy.
Take a sleeping pill.
Go to sleep.
Where are the sleeping pills?
Don't you always keep it here?
Right?
Can't be.
No, Joon Gyeom.
Madam Judge.
What's wrong? Madam Judge.
[ Evidence 2 ]
Look through it already.
Don't you need your workbook urgently?
[ Evidence 4 ]
[ Evidence 5 ]
Um...
Here.
Have this.
No, thank you.
Sorry.
She's a high school senior.
She needs her exam workbook.
The one she's been working from.
Here, have it.
Okay.
Hurry.
You can look but don't take it.
Just the workbook. Just take the workbook.
She's a student, let her wear her uniform.
She'll get penalized without it.
You know that.
One or two demerits determine students' fates.
Yes.
She wasn't born with a silver spoon and nothing to show for.
She can't afford a demerit, too.
Detective.
I have to wash it tomorrow for school the day after.
Please let us take the uniform. I ask you.
Well...
Rules are important,
but this is about her life.
Please, I beg you.
- I am begging you. - Ma'am...
[ Yangpyeong Police Station ]
You didn't.
Joon Gyeom, you didn't, right?
No, that can't be.
No one said a bottle of sleeping pills was found.
[ For Public Order and Safety of Yangpyeong ]
♫ I must go back ♫
♫ But there is no easy way back ♫
♫ So I'm going around in circles, ♫
♫ Trying to avoid the memories ♫
♫ I think I'm almost home ♫
[ Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life ]
If there's anything else you suspect...
Does it look like murder? Like the girl committed foul play?
We'll be checking Kim Cheong Ah's room.
Are you really suspecting our daughter?
Congressman, minister, judge, public prosecutor, the president of a law firm...
I believe in the people who attend church in Apgujeong.
Are your eyes rotten?
- That woman reporter? - A minor heir to the millionaire family?
Skipping school and hanging out with a girl...
Joon Gyeom was on a New York trip with me.
The day you first met my son.
♫ When you used to walk me home ♫
