Into the Mirror (2003)

[bunniefuu]

If anything turns up,

contact me immediately

Yes, I will

It's nice to see

you working hard

Keep up the good work,

and ask if you need help

Do you know this woman?

LEE Ji-hyun, or

LEE Jeong-hyun?

So you do know

Where is she?

She's the one.

Where is she?

She didn't do this

It's not a human who did it

Sure, then who did?

Huh? Answer me!

Ji-hyun believes her

dead sister is taking revenge

- If this store...

- Do you really believe that?

She was a mental patient.

Did you know that?

Look

This is her doing, for not

receiving any compensation

Where is the chairman?

I devoted my whole life to

this store, and now what?

Give up my management rights?

Damn stockholders sit at their

desks, scheming all day

The keys... in the waiting room

Hurry up!

Where's my sister?

Save her! Save my sister!

If we don't find

my sister soon,

something awful will happen

Oh, really?

Where could she be?

We'd like to know, too

You mean your sister

inside the mirror?

If she won't talk,

she should write it down,

or at least gesture

with her hands or feet!

Look here, Ji-hyun!

I know some shady transactions

took place in General Affairs

Your hospital bills all

came from there too

You had tons of cash

in your account

Did your sister ever

tell you about that money?

Somebody used her

and then k*lled her

If we don't find

my sister soon,

something awful

is going to happen

sh*t! I'm going crazy!

As Chief of Security here,

you can't even protect

the company's top administrator?

Today HA Hyun-su

caught the criminal

And saved my life

From today, you should

give up your transferal here

I'm ashamed that

you're my nephew

You're the man, Detective Ha!

I don't know.

I really don't

What do you mean?

Everyone agrees that it's her

There's no hard evidence... sh*t!

She was caught attempting

m*rder who needs evidence?

And we have witnesses

People said they

saw ghosts, right?

I'm sure it was her

that they saw

Um, Chairman JEON

asked me to give this

It's for you

Oh, good evening,

Detective HA Hyun-su!

How did this happen?

You're not allowed in here

I mean, you caught a serial

k*ller with no evidence

What kind of f*cked-up

circumstance is that?

The store will open on

schedule in two days

The k*ller caught, the store

re-opens. Need anything else?

Who said she's the k*ller?

Where's the evidence?

She's unbalanced anyway.

She'll be sent to the mental

You're not making sense!

Who's the one not

making sense here?

Look, Detective HA Hyun-su...

However much you

want a promotion,

don't go locking up just anyone

What? You b*stard!

Getting drunk and coming

here talking nonsense

Be grateful I didn't lock you up

Going around sh**ting when

your partner's held hostage

He was my partner

He was my friend

Stupid as*h*le!

You shithead!

Yeah? You want to go at it?

You're drunk again, aren't you?

sh*t! Firing away when

your partner's being held?

Now you're propped up by

your uncle. Chief of Security?

Is life such a joke for you?

What else can an irresponsible

b*stard like you do?

Irresponsible? That's well said

Did you forget what you said

when you became inspector?

Now the higher-ups are slipping

you cash to wrap it up quickly

You nervous about

not getting promoted?

Even without all that,

I'll never live like you

I won't live like you, b*stard!

What the hell do you

know about me?

How can a pampered, spoon-fed

b*stard like you understand me?

Try living like me once!

Self-centered b*stard

Last Tuesday was a year since

Young-h*'s death. Remember?

Don't you feel sorry for his wife?

You as*h*le! You as*h*le!

Where did it go?

See you later

Bye now

How did you end up like this?

Why did this have to happen?

Sorry

I'm sorry

I'm sorry, I really am

CHOI Mi-jeong

631-2683

BAEK Jin-su

631-268

Hey, hurry up!

Detective HA! Take a look at...

I said hurry up!

IM Jun-seok is dead!

What?

LEE, Ji-Hyun

She was hospitalized in Bucheon,

I thought you might know her

Right

Detective HA!

Have it tested for fingerprints

Ji-hyun had a deep admiration

and attachment for her sister

After they separated,

she suffered a nervous breakdown

Then her sister died last year,

and with no guardian,

she was discharged

Excuse me, but...

what are these lockers?

These used to be

in the General Ward

They were going to be

discarded, so we took them

By any chance,

is there a locker #805?

Well, there were three wards

so the numbers

only went up to 399

Blood Type: AB

We've removed all the furniture

and articles that were here

Thank you

The mirror is still here

Ji-hyun's sister

requested this for her

Ji-hyun used to feel

nervous without a mirror

Did her sister come often to visit?

No

Instead, she called

Ji-hyun every night

It wasn't allowed, but there was

something special between them

We couldn't stop them

Oh, the last time she visited

was the day before she died

Wait, there must be a #208

What?

The locker number

I know that painting

You recognize this?

Sure, look in the mirror there

You can see the figure of

the artist painting. Amazing, huh?

This here... what is that?

Is it writing?

Oh, what was it?

"I was here..."

I think that's what it meant.

I don't remember...

So you were here?

What?

How can CS Trade Co. Expect

to buy out our company?

Chairman JEON!

Haven't you done enough?

Wouldn't you like to rest awhile?

Director CHOI!

Don't speak so lightly of

other people's business

You've gotten where you are

due to this department store?

If it weren't for me,

you'd be a village police chief!

This picture... look at this picture

Who took it?

You drew this, right?

You saw it too?

What your sister

wanted to tell?

If your sister was m*rder*d,

she'd tell you who did it? Right?

Who was it?

It was someone my sister met

I think they met at work

She said, Director CHOI...

CHOI... Director CHOI Sang-ki?

He asked for my

sister's account book

Even after the accident,

he took care of me

Just a minute

Detective HA, they

identified the fingerprints

I know who k*lled

LEE Jeong-hyun

Chief Woo!

I arrest you for

IM Jun-seok's m*rder

IM Jun-seok?

Something's wrong

What is this?

It's Director CHOI

who k*lled LEE Jeong-hyun

You expect me

to believe that?

Where is the evidence?

Will you take that crazy

b*tch's words for evidence?

Investigate Director CHOI

LEE Jeong-hyun did not die

in the fire. Check the body!

There will be evidence, okay?

There will be evidence

Where are you going?

Detective HA Hyun-su?

Yes, that's me

- Come this way

- Yes

I looked for

the data you requested

LEE Jeong-hyun...

her body was identified

by some co-workers

But actually, it was so burned

it was totally unrecognizable

Then how did you identify it?

Well, she didn't

appear afterwards,

so we assumed it was her

The co-workers came

and said it was her, so...

But didn't you have

to do an autopsy?

Blood Type: B

They probably

gave it a quick look

Can identical twins have

different blood types?

Sir! It's not just blood type,

their DNA is exactly the same

She had a twin?

Isn't it scary to work here?

With the corpses?

I heard you can see

dead people in the mirror

That's why there are no mirrors

in the body storage room

Funny? Still, before that a few

people went crazy and quit

A lot of strange

things happen here

You may not believe it,

but I've experienced it too

On my first day working here

Was it last year?

A man shot in

a hostage incident came in

After the autopsy, I was

applying cosmetics

Just before, I had taken

the corpse from the freezer

In the door's reflection,

I saw a hole in his head

A perfectly placed

b*llet in his forehead

The real corpse had none

I really saw it.

No one believes me

CS Trade to Buy Out Dreampia

"SecuZone" assists in securing

management rights

I may have seen her at work,

but I don't know anything

Nothing for me to know

Anyway, I feel bad

about Chief Woo

Well, congratulations Director

CHOI... No, Chairman CHOI

Anyway, when will you

acquire Dreampia?

If I'd known, I'd have

bought some stock myself

Don't you need to

be working someplace?

You're right. Just need

to tidy things up now

Very well

Oh, by the way. How do

you know Chief Woo?

Welcome to Dreampia!

Detective HA, let's go back

Everyone's too scared to go in

I wouldn't go if they paid me

It's money!

DREAMPIA.

Designer Fashion Show in B1 Event Hall

What's going on?

There's nothing wrong!

Please calm down!

Chairman CHOI Intends

Change of Business for Dreampia

Open the door!

You are in danger

What's so dangerous here?

This is my home.

It's my home

Please open the door.

Come out quickly

Get out of my home!

Get out!

We can't end it like this

Let me re-investigate

from last year's fire

Detective HA,

this isn't like you

It's over

- There's no point in continuing

- Chief!

And have you been

keeping in line?

You've been passed

over for promotion

What about the re-opening?

As you wished,

it was cancelled

Let me out

Jeong-hyun is in that store.

If we don't find her...

I don't believe in ghosts

And the evidence

on Director CHOI?

You'll need evidence

You know too?

You know too, right?

No, I don't know

what you're talking about

- Officer Kim! Follow me

- Yes!

Yes, I've discovered something

about LEE Jeong-hyun

Yes

I think I need to

see you, Director CHOI

Yes

Come here to Dreampia now

Yes, yes. I understand

Hello?

Oh, yes. Hello...

Yes

Thank you for remembering

my husband's one-year memorial

That day was so busy,

I couldn't see you off

No, don't mention it

Of course, I had to come

I'm not in touch with Young-min

lately... I heard you see him

This time too he came

alone to tend to the grave.

Tell him many thanks...

Oh, yes

I'll tell him

Yes, goodbye

Young-h*

BAEK, CHOI received calls from

same number just before death.

This is Director CHOI.

Please leave a message

Why are you still here?

I'm sorry, Young-min

Chairman!

Go now

Uncle!

Uncle!

I can't find my sister

Why is that ringing now?

It's the time when my sister

always called to the hospital

It's my sister

It's a mirror

Jeong-hyun

You finally found her

I was a bit concerned about that,

but I waited, figuring

it'd be my store soon

Where is it?

She didn't make idle threats

Why did you k*ll her?

What do you care?

Everything about you is

recorded in here in detail

If this makes it to the police

or the press, you're finished

Why did you k*ll her?

I paid a lot of money to

General Affairs to facilitate a buyout

Jeong-hyun, that b*tch,

betrayed me halfway through

She said that she'd

expose everything

Do I pass up a once in

a lifetime chance because of her?

Such opportunities

come only once

Let it go, and you

regret it always

So you made it seem

she died in the fire?

The General Affairs

people took care of it

So she m*rder*d the

people in General Affairs

LEE Jeong-hyun?

A dead woman taking revenge?

Anyone seen it?

I don't believe

what I don't see

With no courage to live on,

they k*lled themselves

b*stards had no right to

live anyway, just like you

If you hadn't come snooping,

this would've ended quietly

I thought I'd make use of

a guy with a failed life

I never guessed

you'd betray me so well

Still, stupid people

follow orders well

Thanks for calling me

See you later

What's the hell?

Not everything's as it seems

There never was anything there

Damn b*stards!

Drop the g*n, CHOI Sang-ki!

CHOI Sang-ki, I hereby arrest you

for the ill*gal buyout of

Dreampia through bribery,

m*rder, and the concealment

of a dead body

Die, b*stard! Die!

So, you want to tidy

things up now?

Drop the g*n, Young-min!

Oh, sh*t!

Want to screw up again?

Is it Detective HA's turn now?

You want to make

the same mistake again?

I made no mistake

You can't do it

This is your image

The image of

someone living in fear

Lower your g*n, Young-min

I'm not you

Go prove yourself, idiot!

Drop the g*n, Young-min!

You can't do it

It isn't possible

Young-min!

Fire!

Crazy b*stard

Where's the account book?

Tell me!

I'll k*ll you

No!

So the sister's just as ruthless

Blood never lies

Stop it, CHOI Sang-ki

It's all over now

LEE Jeong-hyun?

Chief Woo, are you okay?

Mister, my uncle

is still in there

- What?

- Quick, go in and find him

Get a hold of yourself!

This afternoon, he jumped

out his office window

He k*lled himself

Dreampia Dept. Store, scene of

a suicide and related deaths,

re-opened today after resolving

families' compensation demands

In addition, the team from

the Seoul Violent Crimes Division...

were all granted a special

promotion in reward

For our next story...

Oh, how did you?

Thank you

Your sister?

What will you do now?

Thinking of taking up photography

Your sister taught me

how to look at photos

Just a moment

Please sign your

discharge papers

Here

This patient signs

his name backwards!

Self-hatred, triggered

by a mental shock,

causes a personality to split,

and you perceive two worlds,

inside and outside the mirror

The world is divided into

two symmetrical worlds,

that is, the person is

psychologically divided in two

If you die outside the mirror

you can still be living within

Also, if the you

in the mirror dies,

you see no reflection

Do you see someone

else in the mirror too?
