intro music plays]

THE GLORY

Did you always know

that I was going to…

come to you for help?

Yeah.

[somber music playing]

So for how long?

When did you know
So-hee and I knew each other?

I'd known for a while
that her body was in the freezer.

I saw your student ID that day
when I wrote your prescription.

You were the same age as her.

I assumed you had been friends.

So when you bolted out of the ER,
I decided to follow you.

[medical monitors beeping]

Press on this for
about five minutes.

SEOUL JOO
GENERAL HOSPITAL

[Yeo-jeong] Ah!

I'm sorry.

[Yeo-jeong] From the
beginning, I knew my role.

The hospital director's son.

So when I heard your story,

I knew I was the perfect person
to be your executioner.

I wanted so badly
to be of use to you.

I knew I wanted to help you,
no matter what day or time.

Wherever you were.

I wanted to run to you
before you felt guilty for using me.

But you left before I could.

[gentle, pensive music playing]

Thank you so
much for helping me.

You're going to
be a great doctor.

Am I not seeing you again?

Wait, why?

Back then,

why did you leave me?

You should've used me
if that's why you were there.

It would've been okay.

Even now I can't figure out
why you decided to give up and just leave.

Tell me, why'd you do that?

So-hee's mother told me
what happened to your father.

When she said he
had been m*rder*d,

I was afraid So-hee's body
would be removed from the freezer.

But then,

the intern who treated
me at the hospital

happened to be
the director's son.

I thought I found a way
to salvage my plan.

So I came to find you.

But then I realized something.

That I was selfish, thinking
I'm the only victim that mattered.

When you were a victim too.

[sighs]

That's a relief.

Here I was thinking you left
because I wasn't your type.

So then…

there is no reason
for you not to use me.

If you leave me again,

then it's for love.

Not for revenge.

Then…

help me until…

the end.

I'll serve you

till the end.

THE GLORY

[Hye-jeong gasps]

[panicked grunting]

You've gotten so quiet
without your voice.

Guess it's hard to laugh at others'
misfortunes in your current state.

YOU f*cking b*tch!

By the way, that scar will always itch,
always sting, and always burn.

Like mine did.

Do you know why
I'm doing this to you?

After 18 years, you
all forgot about me.

That's why I'm doing this.
So you'll remember.

I know there's someone you want
to be remembered by too, isn't there?

I've taken care of
Yeon-jin. Sa-ra too.

I couldn't have
done it without you.

And my schedule's opened up.

If you want to get
revenge, I'll help you.

Don't you want to
get back at Jae-jun?

[grunting]

[keypad beeping]

[error alert beeping]

[keypad beeping]

[error alert beeping]

[keypad beeping]

[doorhandle rattles]

YOU WERE INSIDE?

I CAME TO GET MY THINGS

Yeah, I was inside.

Take whatever's yours.

[low, suspenseful music playing]

[Dong-eun] Jae-jun
suffers from glaucoma.

Every day, he has to
use Betaxolol drops.

You know how someone
could accidentally get

something like washer fluid

or hand sanitizer in their eyes.

What's important
is, Jae-jun won't see

his redheaded models,
those racing flag girls,

even Yeon-jin,

with his eyes ever again.

[breathing shakily]

What do you say, Hye-jeong?

Do you want this?

[vocalizing shakily]

FOR REDUCING
INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE

[door slides open]

Gonna take long?

I need to shower before I go.

Oh sh*t, that's
right. I forgot.

Can't talk, can you?

Why don't you clap?

Ten minutes. Twenty?

Wow, your sign
language's gotten good.

I understand that.

You got 10 minutes.

[door slides open, closes]

[grunting]

[loud, metallic clanging]

sh*t…

The f*ck's going on?

The hell you doing?

Seems the motel's been sold.

We deserve a severance package.
Haven't we cleaned up after you enough?

How much do you want?

What do I owe?

Severance pay? You sure?

You don't want insurance as well,
you son of a b*tch?

What else? Need
paternal leave?

[suspenseful music building]

[Yeong-jun grunting in pain]

[Yeong-jun] God damn!

You m*therf*cker.

On days like today,

when it rains like this,

evidence can get lost

and it's easy to dig a hole.

[thunder booms]

[humming quietly]

PARK YEON-JIN

[softly singing Korean pop song]

VIDEO

[unsettling music playing]

[officer] Hey, stop!

[Yeon-jin panting]

[sirens wailing]

[emergency
service vehicle beeps]

[line ringing]

[phone buzzing]

[detective] The NFS
described the m*rder weapon

as a round object
with a large surface area.

I think this is it.

But it doesn't make sense.
The evidence was just sitting here.

The CCTVs are all busted.

Apparently, the owner
stripped the computer.

[detective] Nothing
makes sense here.

How did you find
out about this place?

From an anonymous tip.

[siren blares]

Ye-sol, Uncle Jae-jun's here!

Ye-sol, it's Uncle…

It's your father.
I'm your dad!

You thought I was
your uncle, right?

I'm your real dad, Ye-sol.
I'll explain everything.

Your dad has…

Samsung electronics
and stocks for you!

Excuse me.
Ye-sol isn't here.

That there's Sae-mi.

I heard Ye-sol transferred
to a school overseas.

Transferred?

[tense, erratic music playing]

Do-yeong, you m*therf*cker.

Why didn't you say
something earlier?

HA DO-YEONG

[line ringing]

[operator] The
number you're trying is no longer…

sh*t!

[phone trills]

[line ringing]

Where's Ye-sol?

Where are you hiding
her? Where is she?

[Dong-eun] I've
always wondered, Jae-jun,

who the last face
you would ever see would belong to.

I guess we now know
it won't be your daughter's.

So then where the
f*ck are you now,

you g*dd*mn wh*re?!

[low, foreboding music playing]

sh*t.

Where the hell is building B?

[grunts]

f*ck, what
the hell? Ah, sh*t!

My eyes.

[truck horn blares]

[Jae-jun screams]

You know her, don't you?

That's Yeon-jin's mother.

Hong Yeong-ae. She's involved
in a vehicular manslaughter case.

We initially thought
it was just an accident,

but when we looked
at her cell phone records,

we found that the victim
had been blackmailing her.

The text read, "I
know your daughter's a m*rder*r."

Okay. Why are
you telling me this?

I thought you'd already know.

I believe you're the one who gave
Lee Seok-jae the information on Yeon-jin.

But I couldn't find the connection
between you two.

Not until I looked up
his wife's phone records.

Kang Hyeon-nam.

You know her, don't you?

[sighs]

The thing is, Detective,

I'm known for having
a wide circle of friends.

Even if I did speak
to the victim or his wife,

is that against the law?

I mean, she was the one driving.

You're right.
It's not ill*gal.

[tense music playing]

So what's going to happen

to Yeon-jin's mom now?

Ms. Hong, I should be
at the station with your daughter now.

Are you some moron?

You're the reason
I'm even in this mess!

Was it so hard to
settle with her? Huh?

God.

Why are you not
home now? Excuse me!

How are you not there?

Hey! Are you home?

Hey! Get out here!

[man] Hello, Ms. Hong.

[phone chimes]

Hong Yeong-ae was just arrested.

For m*rder.

Is that how it should end?

You planned all
of this, didn't you?

That tip came from you.

[sighs]

I appreciate

that you've taken the time
to listen to me.

I had to, even if
I'm 18 years late.

This concludes my investigation.

So, this is goodbye.

Ah.

Since I've been so busy,

I won't have time
to focus on this case anymore.

DIVORCE SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT

[door opens]

[door closes]

[footsteps receding]

Be sure to get a good lawyer.

I've always believed
you should spare no expense

when it comes to legal issues.

[Yeon-jin] You can
be so cruel, honey.

How could you come
serve these in person?

[Do-yeong sighs]

Where are you going?

Don't worry. I
won't follow.

The UK.

Ye-sol likes soccer, after all.

If I write,

will you give my
letters to Ye-sol?

Take care of yourself.

[door bells chiming]

[door bells chime]

[heartfelt melody playing]

The car's registered under your name.
The title's in the glove compartment.

Ms. Moon asked
that I give it to you.

She wanted to thank you
for all you've done.

The car is for you

to go to all those places
you've always wanted to.

Where's Dong-eun?
Did she go somewhere?

She wanted to leave this with someone
who would do something good with it.

And she'd be happy
with whatever decision you made,

whether you donate
it or open a center.

But she wanted you to treat yourself
to some good food, too.

Ms. Moon told me…
to thank you again,

and that she's
very grateful for everything.

Did Dong-eun go somewhere?

- Where'd she go?
- [door opens]

[phone chiming]

Hey, what's up?

[Dong-eun] Do you want to
go to the ocean with me?

[chuckles]

That's like the
oldest line in the book.

You can put on some music if you'd like.
Or sleep if you're tired.

Ah, and look at me
every now and then.

Because you know the passenger seat
is the best place to admire my face.

I don't have any
music on my phone.

Maybe you should sing.

What? About time!

Just you wait. Really.

[Yeo-jeong clears throat]

Five, six, seven eight.

[singing '80s Korean rock song]

Is this singing like a bird?

Right now it's more like a falcon
than a bird. You know, like the band.

[Yeo-jeong continues singing]

[Korean '80s rock
song continuing]

[Dong-eun] Don't
you know any other songs?

[Dong-eun] Stop,
enough, seriously!

- [Yeo-jeong] You try.
- [Dong-eun] No!

- [Yeo-jeong] Just one?
- [Dong-eun] No!

[song trails off]

[phone chiming]

I got some more beer.
Need anything else?

[Dong-eun] This
is our final stop.

It ends here.

[melancholy music building]

Goodbye.

[Yeon-jin] What
took you so long to visit?

[chuckles]

I was dying to see you.

Me too.

I really wanted to
see you like this.

Locked up in here.

Completely and totally alone,

without a single
friend remaining.

No one to love you.

You…

really think I'll be here long?

Of course I do.

- Even if you get out, you'll be so old...
- You b*tch!

[guard] 3886, quiet down!

After all this is done,

whether I'm in
the ground or not,

I want your world to
always have me in it.

[tense music playing]

I want you to regret your life

so much you can feel it.

Deep in your bones.

I'm sorry…

that I didn't get away with it.

Regret?

You know…

I should be asking
you the same thing.

Why would I?

What do I have to regret?

[sweeping, dramatic
music playing]

[Yeon-jin screams]

[blow landing]

[distant clatter]

[dramatic music building]

[tense, intricate
melody playing]

[Myeong-o] Gyeong-ran…

[Myeong-o grunting weakly]

You're back there, right?

Are you there?

[gasps]

[groaning] Gyeong-ran…

[weakly] f*cking
help me. Help me.

Can't you go get…
go get my f*cking phone? Huh?

Help me, you stupid b*tch!

Get off!

Stop!

Please let go.

Let go!

[Myeong-o] Come
on, don't tease me now.

[Gyeong-ran whimpering]

You don't like it?
Don't lie. I know you like it.

Let go!

Get off!

Let go of me,
you son of a b*tch!

[dramatic music swells]

[music trails off]

[phone chimes]

[Gyeong-ran] It's
me, Gyeong-ran.

I need your help, Dong-eun.

You told me that…

Yeon-jin needs to be the k*ller.

I…

don't know what to do.

Please help me, Dong-eun.

How do I…

fix this?

This should go back to Siesta.

Try not to worry.

Yeon-jin still k*lled Myeong-o,
so this changes nothing.

[Gyeong-ran] Thank you

for helping me.

And I'm… sorry…

for what I did back then.

Forgive me.

I didn't come to help you.

Wherever you end
up, whatever you do,

I never want you to forget this.

Listen.

I'm no longer standing
in that hallway.

You don't have to either.

Don't stay in that gym
for one second more.

[shuddering breaths]

[melancholy music playing]

What then? Spit it out!

What do I have to regret?

[guard] 3886, your visit's over.

I regret everything
that's happened.

Just look. Heaven's
never been on my side.

All you get is prison?

I have no choice

but to hope this
prison's your hell.

All I can do is
pray that you live

a very long life in this hell,

never knowing the truth
about why you're here.

[door opens]

What is it? Tell me,
what don't I know?

Just f*cking tell me, Dong-eun!

You b*tch, I'm going to k*ll you.
I'm going to f*cking k*ll you, b*tch!

Stop! Stop!
You f*cking b*tch!

You f*cking b*tch!

[Yeon-jin] I'm going to find you
and tear your head off!

- [door closing]
- [sighs]

[Dong-eun] Let me do the honor.

I'll be the one

to k*ll myself.

So let's just say
our goodbyes to each other now.

Dear Yeon-jin,
who I've always dreamed of k*lling,

goodbye.

This is my last letter to you.

And to everyone else,

farewell.

I hope the end burned,

like it did for me.

I hope… it was painful.

[melancholy music building]

[breathing shakily]

[Yeo-jeong's mother] Help me!

Please help me!

Please help me save my son!

I'm Yeo-jeong's mother.

If this was the ending
you were preparing for,

would you change your mind

if you knew that this would
end Yeo-jeong's life as well?

I met with So-hee's mother.

And she told me all about you.

She told me what
had happened to you

and how you ended up here.

But this isn't how it should end,
not after everything.

When Yeo-jeong told me he was
determined to help you get revenge,

I gave him my permission.

I'm asking for
your permission now.

Will you allow me to
save your life today?

Because even if it means
I have to hang onto you as you jump,

I'm going to save
you. I swear to God.

I'm asking you to help my son
escape this hell, so that…

he will choose to go on living.

I'm begging you to live.

Is Yeo-jeong's hell
Kang Yeong-cheon, then?

3724, referring to
his prison number.

That's right.

That disgusting b*stard.

[train rumbling, blows horn]

[Yeong-cheon] Even
now, that day remains in my memory,

vivid as if it were yesterday.

The scent of his
blood in my nostrils.

That slicing sound
as the knife pierced his throat.

[alarm bells ringing]

The heat of his blood
as it dripped down my hands.

And even the look on his face
as the life left his eyes.

[Yeo-jeong]
Dad! Dad! Dad!

Dad! Move, Move!

Dad!

Dad, wake up!

[Yeong-cheon] Wake up!

Wake up!

[handcuffs clicking]

Wake up!

[Yeong-cheon laughs]

Dad, your son is
calling you! Wake up!

[judge] The defendant
has been indicted

for three counts of m*rder

in addition to the desecration
and disposal of a corpse.

Based on the evidence that has
been brought forth by the investigation,

the court has found the accused
to be guilty on all charges.

In addition,
the defendant m*rder*d the doctor

who was providing
him medical treatment

with a clear lack of remorse.

Not only did his actions
have serious consequences,

but the method
itself was inhumane.

And as a result,
the court has now come to a verdict.

The defendant

has been sentenced to death,

in accordance to Article Three
of Criminal Act One.

- [indistinct chatter]
- [judge bangs gavel]

You son of a b*tch!

I'll k*ll you!

Yeo-jeong!

Why are you
laughing, you as*h*le?

[Yeong-cheon] I
have always loved

the look on someone's face
at the moment of their death.

The vessels in their eyes burst,

and slowly the blood colors
the whites of their eyes.

Just like a sunset.

I promise I'll write again soon.

[Yeo-jeong sobbing]

Take care and enjoy
your weekend, Dr. Joo.

SIX MONTHS LATER

SUMMER OF 2023

[heavy door unlocking]

Mom?

Mom!

- [guard] Inmate! Keep your mouth shut!
- Hey, Mom!

- [guard] 3886, face the wall!
- Mom! Mom!

Please, Mom, please!

Mom! Mom!

[fabric rustling]

[inmate] Hey, cutie.
What's the weather like tomorrow?

Huh?

For these past few days,

all the rain we've received
has made the temperature drop.

However, tomorrow
temperatures will warm up

and rise close to 30 degrees Celsius
around mid-day.

I recommend you
wear some light clothes,

and make sure you stay hydrated
throughout the day.

Although we expect no clouds
and pollution will be low,

the ozone levels and
the UV radiation will be very high.

Try not to say out in the sun
between the hours of 2:00 and 5:00 p.m.,

when the ozone level
will be at its highest.

Park Yeon-jin signing off.

[inmate laughs] Are you crying
about the weather?

[bell ringing]

[woman] I thought you wouldn't last
a month here. Looks like I was wrong.

You made it six.

[Dong-eun] Yeah.

It's already summer.

I looked deeper
into that b*tch and that b*stard.

You were absolutely
right, Ms. Moon.

Thank you for
looking out for me.

Well, I know nothing
ever comes for free.

Now tell me why
you've been staying here so long.

I need some information.

There's a prisoner
serving in Cheongsong.

Prisoners are sorted into five tiers,
ranging from S-1 to S-5.

Cheongsong is
where S-4 prisoners go.

[laughs]

I don't know who it is, but I can guess
they're one nasty piece of work.

Yeah. Two of his victims
were innocent women.

Could he be transferred?

You would need to stir up trouble
at the prison to do that.

[woman sighs]

[tense music playing]

There's only one place
that's worse than Cheongsong.

Jisan Prison.

Is that what you're looking for?

Come find me if you need a loan.

For you, I won't take
any interest in advance.

You may need it.

[water bubbling]

- [gasps]
- [gentle, heartfelt Korean ballad playing]

[door keypad chimes]

[footsteps approaching]

I brought us some beer.

How have you been?

Uh, how have I been?

You're so…

cruel.

How could you do this to me?

Do you…

have any idea…

I've really missed you.

Then why did you leave me again?

Maybe it was out of love,

and not for revenge.

I haven't…

been doing very well.

My revenge…

didn't go as I planned.

I think you just
need some lessons.

Would you let me teach you how?

From now on, I will
be your executioner.

I will be your missing 1%.

Just tell me,

who do you
want me to k*ll first?

[breathes shakily]

Since this is your first time,
you get the black stone.

I'll place the
stone on the board.

[heartfelt ballad swells]

EDEN APARTMENTS
ROOM 301 AVAILABLE FOR RENT

[Dong-eun] I'm sorry
I didn't come say goodbye in person.

You can put up my room for rent.

Now I know why room 301
was cheaper than the others.

I remember.

I remember everything.

[song trails off]

You sure took your time.

I knew from the
moment I saw you.

[splashing in distance]

[Dong-eun, person grunting]

[both grunting, panting]

[woman] Are you okay?

You don't have any shoes on.

Why are you only wearing
a sweater out here?

It must be so heavy.

You're kidding!

You're the reason why
I'm out here soaking wet!

Really? Seriously?
I'm the only one you're blaming?

I saw you get into the water
with the same intention as me.

Let me ask you a question.

The water's too cold, isn't it?

Oh, it's freezing.

Let's…

die in the spring. Hmm?

The spring.

[chuckles]

It'll be okay.

[gentle, comforting
pop song playing]

Okay.

[Dong-eun] There was a
time when I used to think,

"What if someone
had just helped me?"

"If someone, somewhere
had been there for me?"

Eighteen springs had gone by
with that question still in my mind.

But I finally
realized something.

That there were
good people in my life.

Good friends, good weather.

Even heaven intervened.

[student 1] Is she the one
who had the best portfolio?

[student 2] Yeah. I
heard she hasn't even declared a major.

Did you see that?
Look at her arms?

Oh.

[Dong-eun] And when you
said we should die in the spring,

what you really meant is,

that's when we should bloom.

I want to thank you.

Thank you so much for saving me.

While I know I didn't
grow up to be good,

eventually a spring will come

when I will fully bloom.

I wish you a long, healthy life.

I wonder if she'll
come see the flowers.

JISAN PRISON, JOO YEO-JEONG
MEDICAL OFFICER

[song trails off]

Hey, come on. You're
working, aren't you?

Of course I am.
Revenge isn't exactly cheap.

I'll help you once
I text this student.

I guess this'll be every night.

I'll only teach Mondays,
Wednesday and Fridays, okay?

Besides, this student's father
works for the correctional system.

Well, exams are important.

By the way,

where do you think
Jae-jun ran off to?

I don't know.

I can only assume
that I wasn't the only one

who wanted to
see him taken down.

[groaning]

[footsteps approaching]

[mysterious music playing]

Who's there?

Where am I?

Who the f*ck are
you, you son of a b*tch?

I'm sorry, please.

My eyes really hurt right now.

I think I need to
go to a doctor.

sh*t.

Hye-jeong, I
know it's you. Huh?

Did she send you to k*ll me?

I'm sorry, but can you just
say something to me? Please?

[dark, menacing music building]

Who the hell
are you? Huh?

Why are you doing this to me,
you m*therf*cker?

[Jae-jun yells]

[wind rushing]

[sweeping, dramatic
music playing]

[screaming]

[music trails off]

One burner and one car.

The number's on
the back of the phone

and the unregistered car's
sitting in the back.

Good luck.

[pop song playing
faintly over speakers]

[vendor] Hi, what can I get you?

- Can I get 600 grams of this…
- [vendor] Sure.

…and 300 grams of
this cabbage here?

[vendor] Sure.

[girl] Hey, Mom!

- [mother] What're you craving?
- [daughter] I'll eat anything.

[phone chimes]

[Dong-eun] I'm
looking for an assistant.

Interested?

[spirited, folksy music playing]

[bandsaw whirring]

[steady, rhythmic tapping]

[guard] 3724, transfer.

BOOK DEBATE PROGRAM

I would like to introduce the teacher
who has volunteered to lead debate class.

[tepid applause]

[excited exclaiming]

[lively applause]

Nice to meet you.

It sounds rather formal
when you call it debate class.

Especially as this is
meant for those of you

who are scheduled
to be released soon.

This is more like a book club,

where we can freely discuss
the material we've read.

And for those of you that are willing,
we could even try writing resumes and CVs.

[applause, cheering]

[music fades away]

[inmate] My younger sister
just visited me.

Every time she's come before, she's cried,
but for the first time, she smiled.

So thank you, Doctor.

Thank you for taking
care of my sister.

She'll need a few
more laser treatments,

but she should be able
to hide it with makeup.

As for you, don't forget
to take your blood pressure pills.

Sure. There's no way
I'll let that son of a b*tch outlive me.

Right. You're in here
for assaulting someone.

I remember now.

Yeah.

I regret I didn't k*ll that m*therf*cker
when I had the chance.

You saw her scar.
That was that as*h*le's work.

He did that 'cause…

she refused to sleep with him.

Try not to worry about your sister.
I like to think I'm pretty good at my job.

No, of course.

You don't have to tell me.

I've heard removing scars

can be a very
expensive procedure.

When I get out of here,
I'll do whatever it takes to pay you back.

Whatever it is.

Doctor, I swear to God.

You have a cleaning job
in quarter one, right?

Would you be interested in paying
with something other than money?

Really?

You don't want money?

To me, this'll be
worth a fortune.

[gate unlocking]

[tense, unnerving music playing]

[Yeong-cheon] Do you want
to be the one to punish me?

[shaky breathing]

[incredulous laughter]

Yeah.

Then it's too bad that
I'm already being punished, isn't it?

[scoffs]

It's not enough.

So in your opinion,
what would be enough?

Ah.

k*lling you.

And making it painful.

But you're a doctor, yeah?

Isn't there some kind of line
you're not allowed to cross?

I was never good at
school, but I know.

There's an oath every
doctor has to obey.

[laughs]

[Yeo-jeong] Mmm.

You're wrong.

If I wanted to save animals,
I would've become a veterinarian.

And if I wanted to save the devil,
I would've become a preacher.

My job's to save people.

So that oath

doesn't apply to something
as inhuman as you.

[tense music building]

If by some chance
the two of us happen to meet again,

you should be careful.

Anyone who walks
by, any food you eat,

any pill prescribed to you,

I'd make sure it's safe.

Doctors can't do that.

[Yeo-jeong] I'm not worried.

I won't get caught,

because I am a doctor.

[gate closes]

[gate locks]

YOON SO-HEE

[Dong-eun] The clock
is ticking again, So-hee.

Congratulations.

We're both finally 19.

[elegant aria playing]

JISAN PRISON

I love you.

I love you.
