01x05 - Kim Mi-mo

[bunniefuu]

[muffled shouting]

The notorious serial k*ller, Mask Girl,
has finally made an appearance.

Rumor has it she's addicted
to plastic surgery

and right now is being escorted
into the police station.

Kim, also known as Mask Girl,

was taken in by the prosecution
as a suspect this morning.

According to an insider,
Ms. Kim has admitted

to every single one of the charges,
including m*rder.

C'mon!

[reporter ] Excuse me, sir!

[reporters shouting]

- [reporter ] Look over here!
- [reporter ] Over here!

- [reporter ] What's on the menu?
- [reporter ] What did she order?

It's beef bone soup.

[reporter ] What kind of beef bone soup?

MASK GIRL ORDERS BEEF BONE SOUP...

Looks like she did her eyes,
nose, cheekbones, chin...

everything, really.

She got herself
a whole remodeled face, basically.

The clothes worn by Mask Girl,

who's been in the spotlight
these past few days,

are the hottest-selling items right now.

Um, it's pretty, you know?
And it's popular too.

This crowd has gathered today
to protest against Mask Girl,

as the big trial against her
finally begins this morning.

[man] The accused has been att*cked
and persecuted since her childhood

because of her appearance.

The victim, Mr. Jun-mo Lee,
has att*cked my client,

Ms. Mo-mi Kim, verbally,
by repeatedly insulting her looks,

and physically, by attempting to r*pe her.

[spectators gasping, muttering]

[man] Through what he wrote
on social media,

we can clearly see
the victim's exact motives

when he chose to meet with the defendant.

The victim's social media account,

is evidence that he was only interested
in meeting with Mask Girl

out of sexual curiosity.

Shut up!

[spectators murmuring]

Your client... Your client k*lled my son!

[shouts] Get off of me!

If being called ugly
is enough to make you k*ll someone,

then no one would be alive
in this country!

Please be quiet
or you will be asked to leave.

[woman] Let go of me!

- You dirty slut.
- [judge] Remove her.

- You m*therf*cker!
- Mom! Please, c'mon.

[woman crying]

[judge] The crime in this case will be
constituted as a most serious crime.

The defendant's
heinous crimes against humanity

caused great shock to society.

[poignant music playing]

[judge] From the standpoint
of fair punishment

or general crime prevention,

a sentence that forever isolates
the defendant from society is inevitable.

Thus, the defendant is sentenced

to life in prison.

[music fades out]

[theme tune playing]

MASK GIRL

MI-MO KIM

[poignant music playing]

[teenage girl] My name is Mi-mo Kim.

That name was given by my mom.

[Mo-mi] Please!

I'll come back for her soon!

I can't.

I won't raise your baby for you, Mo-mi.

I'm not asking you to raise her.

I'm just asking you
to look after her for a bit, that's all.

No. I can't.

[Mo-mi] Wait!

I'm going overseas.

I need to get a lot of stuff ready,
including a fake passport.

I can't do all of that
while carrying the baby around.

I'll come back for her as soon as I'm done
with everything. Please!

[shakily] I'm begging you!

But the years went by,

and my mom never came back.

Soon enough,

I forgot about her existence.

[music ends]

When I was young,
I liked to doll myself up.

[door opens]

What are you doing? Oh jeez!

You like dressing up, like your mother.

Oh dear!

My grandma would always say
I was like my mom,

but she never actually
told me anything about her.

[poignant music playing]

[Grandma] Put your elbows down.

[slurps softly]

And don't be so loud.

[eats more quietly]

I didn't really like
the food my grandma made.

My favorite food

was the cup of tteokbokki
sold in front of my school.

Wow, this is incredible.

Then, one day, something happened,

and I finally learned
something about my mother.

- [girl]...it's really good!
- [Mi-mo] Yeah, sure!

- Mom!
- [woman] Let's go.

- But I'm eating with Mi-mo!
- Don't play with her anymore.

- [girl] Why not? I want to!
- [woman] Her mom's Mask Girl.

- [girl] What's "Mask Girl"?
- [woman] You don't need to know.

MASK GIRL

MASK GIRL TURNS HERSELF IN

WHO IS MASK GIRL?

WHY SHE BECAME A k*ller

[music intensifies]

MASK GIRL SURRENDERS HERSELF
PERFECT BODY

[solemn choral music playing]

[music becomes operatic]

[music ends]

[Mi-mo] m*rder*r!

m*rder*r's daughter!

Die! Die, Mask Girl, die!

[grunts]

[groaning]

[silence]

- Good afternoon. I'm reporter Mi-mo Kim.
- [whimsical music playing]

Mask Girl, why did you commit m*rder?

Welcome, everyone!
There are so many of you here.

You can take pictures now!

Everyone, I am Mask Girl!

[music stops]

What's the... matter with you?

- I'm sorry, Grandma.
- Get out, now!

- Grandma! Grandma!
- Get out, now!

- Grandma!
- I can't do this.

- I'm sorry, Grandma.
- I don't think I can raise you anymore!

- Get out of here!
- Grandma, please!

[sobbing] I'm really sorry, Grandma.

Grandma!

Grandma...

what kind of person

was my mother?

Why do you ask?

I guess I'm a bit curious.

She was

a lost cause from the very start.

The rumors about my mom spread quickly.

- Monster's daughter!
- Monster's daughter!

[kids chuckling]

[solemn choral music fades in]

And the source of the rumors

was my best friend.

- You spread the rumors.
- Hm?

There have been a lot of complaints
from other parents, you know?

[Grandma sighs]

[scoffs] Doesn't matter.

We wanted to move anyway.

[sighs]

[Mi-mo sadly] Tteokbokki Grandma,
I'm moving away.

I can't come here anymore.

But wherever I went,

the rumors followed.

WHAT'S THIS?

MI-MO KIM IN SECOND GRADE

SO SHE'S HITTING THEM?

GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR SCHOOL

[music fades out]

[door opens]

[door shuts]

[Grandma] I won't be able to help you
if you cause trouble again, understood?

I was barely able to keep you
from being sent to juvenile detention.

[footsteps retreating]

You don't wanna become
like your mother, do you, Mi-mo?

[footsteps approaching]

Don't refer to that bitch
as my mom from now on.

It makes me sick.

[Grandma sighs]

[teacher] Introduce yourself.

- I'm Mi-mo Kim.
- [kids laughing]

- [boy ] Did she say "me-miaow"?
- [girl ] What kinda name is that?

Quiet now!

Sit, uh?

There. Next to Jin-hong, okay?

He's a boy. I don't wanna sit there.

I'd like to sit with a girl.

- Come on, is this for real?
- Oh gosh.

[girl ] What the heck?
That's fricking weird.

So, um, uh, there.
You can sit next to Ye-chun.

Ma'am.

I don't wanna sit with her.
I'd like to sit alone.

Pranking me, huh? Are you?

Sit. Go on. Have a seat.

You all know that finals
are right around the corner,

pay attention during class, okay?

- [students] Okay!
- [teacher] Good.

[students chatting]

They're so cute, huh?

- Hey! I wanted to sit with a boy.
- [girl ] I know, right?

[girl ] Are they
the first couple in our class?

[girls chuckling]

[girls laughing]

- [laughter stops]
- Lunch today, huh? Just three meatballs?

Did you see M Countdown?

Oh! My heart burst
because of the NCT guys.

They're handsome, right?

[girl ] Hey.

That's someone else's seat, so...

We don't have
assigned seats in the lunchroom.

Hey. Get lost.

[sighs] You're in my seat.

[Ye-chun chuckles]

[girl ] Ridiculous.

Are you eating alone?
I'll eat with you, okay?

Hey.

Hey, you.

Here, come closer.

I said come closer.

You are an outcast, did you know that?

What?

I'll be your friend.

- No, thanks.
- What?

I don't need a friend. I'm good.

[Ye-chun] Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Wait, wait a minute.

So, which

idol group do you like?

Do you wanna buy these?

I waited for hours to get these signed.

- This is pretty...
- Hey, listen.

Wow. I'm so curious.

[girl ] Look at her!

[Ye-chun] Hey, that's mine! Give it back!

[girls laughing]

[Ye-chun] Give it back!

[laughter continues]

[Ye-chun] Give it back! I said it's mine!

- It's mine!
- [girl ] Let go!

[Ye-chun cries out, gasping]

[girl ] What?

[Ye-chun groans]

It's all fake. She autographed it herself.

No! I... I got them autographed in person.

- Bullshit, you lying slut.
- [girls laughing]

- She lies every time she speaks.
- [trash clattering]

- Hey.
- [clattering continues]

Hey!

C'mon, get lost.

[trashcan banging]

Didn't you hear me?

[banging stops]

[gasps softly]

[Mi-mo] You're idiots.

- What?
- [girl ] Ah!

[girl ] What did you just say?

Stupid idiots.

- [girl ] That bitch.
- [girl ] What the hell? What a psycho.

You f*cking bitch. You're dead...

[bullies gasp]

Wanna get stabbed?

Hey. Hey, l... let's go.

- [girl ] That bitch is a f*ckin' psycho.
- [girl ] She's f*cking nuts.

[Ye-chun] Hey, are you okay?

Why did you grab a piece of glass?

Give me your hand.

You did this to yourself?

[Mi-mo] I tidied everything up,
so you finish cleaning.

Okay, sure!

[whimsical music playing]

[Ye-chun sighs]

[breathing shakily]

[moans]

[sighs]

[sighs]

I can't do it.

[sighs]

[sighs purposefully]

[groaning]

[students chatting]

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Wake up.

What is that?

I guess we're more alike now.

What the...

Where are you going?

[Mi-mo] To the bathroom.

Wait for me. [groans]

Hey! Wait for me!

[Mi-mo] Why are you coming in here?

[door locks]

- [Ye-chun] We're friends. It's fine.
- [sighs] We're not kids.

Oh boy. You're a pervert.

That's right, I'm a pervert.
Hm-hm-hm! [chuckles]

- Here you go.
- Thank you. Have a good one.

[woman] Bye!

- What do you think? Pretty good, right?
- It's okay.

The tteokbokki where I used to live
was really good.

[Ye-chun] You know, I...

Hey, I have a secret, Mi-mo.

- Can I tell you?
- What is it?

I wanna m*rder my mother sometimes.

What? Why?

A couple of weeks ago,
I rescued a small kitten I found.

It was in really bad shape.

But Mom didn't want it!
I had to take it back, you know?

[sighs]

It's probably dead.

And well, I thought...

It's like my mom
k*lled the cat, basically.

That's your problem?

Yeah, that's it. What do you mean?

Know what? Forget it.

[Ye-chun] Hey. Hey!

What's wrong? Where are you going?

Uh... Hey, wait. Hey!

What's wrong? We're friends.
We can talk about stuff like that, right?

I don't need friends, remember?
I'm just gonna lay low until I graduate.

Why are you suddenly so angry?

You don't tell me anything about yourself.

You wanna know about me?

Mm-hmm.

Well, don't.

You wouldn't understand.

Hey. Hey!

I wouldn't understand?

You know what I hate dealing with, huh?

My dad coming home drunk
and b*ating my mom, okay?

I took a Kn*fe and almost stabbed my dad.
Did you know that?

You think you're
the only one with problems?

You think you're the only sad one
just because you hurt yourself!

Huh? It's raining.

Hey, run! Come on, run!

[Ye-chun] Argh! [groans]

[Ye-chun chuckling]

[Ye-chun laughing]

[Mi-mo] Does your dad get drunk often?

Mm-hmm.

I wish my dad would just die, you know?

And my mom too.

She's not my real mom, actually. She's my

stepmom.

Well, you're better off.

What?

You...

won't tell anyone about this, right?

- [Ye-chun] Uh, no.
- Hmm.

[poignant music playing]

I don't know...

I don't know who my dad is.

And my mom's in prison.

[gasps] She's in prison?

My mom never called me. Not once.

She's never even wondered
about how I'm doing.

Then, who do you live with?

My grandma.

[Ye-chun] Your grandma never told you
anything about your mom?

[Mi-mo] She says she

hates talking about my mom.

It's probably my fault.

Well... Well... I think
you're really special, all right?

[breathes shakily]
Could you be more cheesy?

[Ye-chun chuckles]

[both chuckle]

Say, uh, "ah." Here.

[door opens]

- [door shuts]
- [Mom] You're home.

Why so late?
We're doing barbecue, remember?

Wash your hands.

I'm not hungry.

Hey, you asked for this, right?

I'm not hungry!

[Dad] What? We bought a lot of meat.

Hey! Is something wrong?

- [Ye-chun] No!
- [door slams]

- [baby crying]
- [Mom] Dear God.

Don't know what's come over her.

MI-MO♥

[Dad] She's going through puberty,
let her be. There, there, there.

I FREAKING HATE BEING HOME

MY DAD'S DRUNK AND VIOLENT AGAIN

REALLY? OH NO!

WHATEVER...

I'M JUST HIDING IN MY ROOM RIGHT NOW

[Dad] Here, I'll make a wrap for you.

BUT I'M GLAD I HAVE YOU

[Dad] Be careful, it's hot! It's hot.

AND I'M GLAD I CAN TALK
ABOUT STUFF LIKE THIS WITH YOU

HAHA
ME TOO

[poignant music playing]

Wow, the soulmates are here.

You're a cute couple.

Miss Bed-wetter, hello!

What?

- Let's go.
- [Miss Bed-wetter] That bitch.

She used to be an outcast. She peed
herself in class in elementary school.

Everyone saw it,
so they called her "Bed-wetter."

- [Mi-mo] Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Then we got to middle school,
she shortened her skirt

and started wearing makeup.

And started following the bullies around.

[scoffs] Now she's not an outcast anymore.

She picks on you the most.

- I know. Ridiculous, right?
- Mm-hmm.

She's a hypocrite.

[teacher] During the Joseon Dynasty,
Seowon was a private institution...

[Mi-mo and Ye-chun giggling]

...and where ancestral rites
were held for virtuous Confucian scholars.

You two in the back.
Go out to the hallway.

[Ye-chun softly] Oh.

- [teacher] It was used to foster talent...
- I heard they're in love.

- Someone saw them making out.
- Aren't they super annoying?

- I heard about it.
- Really?

[boy] Yeah.

[girl] That's so crazy.

[teacher continues speaking]

[both chuckle]

You're... pretty damn ugly.

[scoffs] That's nonsense.
I'd say you're pretty damn ugly.

- I'm not. You're the pretty damn ugliest.
- Bullshit.

If I'm that, then you're the pretty damn
ugliest in the whole wide world.

[whimsical music playing]

[both laughing]

[laughing intensifies]

[both panting]

[Ye-chun] By the way,

why did your mom go to prison anyway?

Why are you asking me that?

I'm just curious.

She k*lled someone.

What?!

What?

You think I'm a monster too.

[Ye-chun sighs]

No, I don't.

[gentle piano music playing]

My dad went crazy again yesterday.

He broke everything, dishes and all.

Really?

[sighs] My mom left the house crying.

Honestly, it's a real mess.

[breathes deeply]

Should we... run away?

- [Ye-chun] From home?
- Mm-hmm.

[Ye-chun] I like that.

We should, um, try to find a place
we could live together, right?

Don't we need a lot of money for that?

Do you have any?

I don't have money.

[Mi-mo] Well, so we can't afford
to run away.

[Ye-chun] But still, I think
it would be fun if we lived together.

Right?

- Uh! Mom, I'm busy!

You're not getting any allowance, then.

- [Ye-chun testily] Where's the baby food?

[Dad] Here.

- [Ye-chun] Say "ah." [chuckles]

Guess what?

I'm friends with Mask Girl's daughter.

Isn't that amazing?

[sighs] I feel bad for Mi-mo, you know?

So I'm never going to leave
my friend's side ever.

Yeah, I should help her.

[sighs heavily]

But I need money if I wanna help her, huh?

[baa]

- [artificial voice] Sheep.
- [Ye-chun] Huh?

[cock-a-doodle-doo]

Chicken.

[neigh]

- Horse.
- [Ye-chun chuckles softly]

[mischievous music playing]

Ahh!

[man] Uh, it rolls well.

[cock-a-doodle-doo, miaow, trumpet]

[man] Yeah, it works.

[moo, bleat]

- [man] Huh?
- [button clicks]

[man] Huh?

Uh, the lion button's not working.

Yeah.

- [Ye-chun] I don't know why it won't...
- [man] Yeah, the lion.

Talk to you soon. Sure.

Oh, it, uh... it was working up until now,
it really was.

[sighs]

So, uh, what if
I bring it down to , won?

- Thank you!
- Have a good one.

[Ye-chun] Bye.

[music ends]

Are you sure it's okay to sell that?

It's fine. She'll be walking soon anyway.

So together we have , won.

This is nowhere near enough.

I don't have anything else to sell.

What do we do now?

Oh... I could ask my tteokbokki grandma.

- "Tteokbokki grandma"?
- Mm-hmm.

Remember how I said there was an awesome
tteokbokki truck where I used to live?

She's like a real grandma to me.

She told me I should talk to her
if I needed anything.

We could ask her for help.

I kinda think
we could pull this off by ourselves.

Mi-mo, wait a little while.
I'll try to come up with something.

You won't. We'll do it together.

I'll try to find a way too.

Mm-hmm.

Hey.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Why?

[mischievous music playing]

Wow. Are these real?

Hey! Of course they're real.

- Do you like them?
- [chuckles]

So... do you think you wanna get one?

They're , won,

but you're so cute,
I'll give it to you for half the price.

I don't have the money, though.

How much money do you have?

[child] Five hundred won.

That's okay. I'll take it for now.

In return, tell your friends
about me, huh?

Sure!

- [girl ] Oh my gosh, that's hilarious.
- [girl ] What a freakin' joke.

- [girl ] Kids still do this kinda stuff?
- [girl ] That's so pathetic.

Hey, you. Is there a problem?

A middle schooler
taking money from a little kid?

[scoffs] You're small, so...

Listen, you little f*ck.

Don't take money
from little kids, understood?

Hey, take your won and go home.

- [girl ] Where do you think you're going?
- [girl ] Hey, grab her!

- Don't even think about running.
- [girl ] So sad.

[Ye-chun groaning]

[sobbing]

[Miss Bed-wetter laughs]
That's what you get.

You ratted me out to them, didn't you?

[scoffs] Bed-wetter.

[Bed-wetter] What did you say?
Aren't you scared of dying?

Let me go! If you keep this up,
you should be scared of dying.

Should I, bitch? [scoffs]

I'm gonna hit you
every time you lie to me, you got that?

[Ye-chun] Wait!

Mi-mo's mom, you know who she is?

- "Mi-mo"? Mi-mo Kim?
- [somber choral music playing]

What? Is her mom rich or something?

[cellphone buzzes]

[panting]

[man] Hey, kid.

[Mi-mo breathing shakily]

SUSEONG POLICE SUBSTATION

[man ] How may I help you?

- [man ] Oh!
- I told you, didn't I? For the last time.

Uh, ma'am, ma'am. You can't do this here.

Get outta my house!

- Right now, you hear me?
- Hey, hey!

[Grandma] Huh?! [breathing heavily]

[softly] I wasn't planning

on staying with you anyway.

[Grandma] What did you say?!

- [Grandma breathing heavily]
- [music continues]

[Mi-mo breathes shakily]

Hey, kid!

[sighs]

[sobbing]

[Mom] Hey! Where have you been?
Why are you home so late?

[Ye-chun] I was at a friend's house.

[sighs] Well, you should've called us
at least, you know?

[door shuts]

[Mom sighs]

[Ye-chun] Ugh, leave me alone!

Have you seen the baby walker? Uh...

[Ye-chun] Why are you asking me?
Just leave me alone!

- [Mom] Hasn't seen it?
- [Dad] She says she hasn't.

- [Mom] Jesus, where on earth did it go?
- [cellphone buzzing]

[groans]

[Ye-chun] Hello?

- [Mi-mo] What are you up to?
- Me?

Mmm, not much. I'm home.

Can I come over to your place tonight?

[gasps] My place?

My place, why?

You know...

Don't wanna go home, that's all.

Oh...

Is that a no?

- Just for the night.
- [sighs]

I, uh... I really want you to, but...

It's just... my dad, uh,
he threw stuff again. It's a mess.

Really? Hey,

are you okay?

Yeah, it's just...
my place is a complete mess.

I wanna run away from home.

Mi-mo, you should go back
to your grandma tonight, and...

and... we can leave... when we're ready.

Okay.

Okay. I'll see you at school tomorrow.

- [phone beeps]
- [breathes in sharply]

[sighs]

sh*t.

[tense music playing]

[music ends]

[girl ] Hey, did you hear the news?
About Mi-mo Kim from Class Two?

[girl ] "Mi-mo Kim"? Who's that?

Well, she transferred here recently,
and she's Mask Girl's daughter.

[girl ] "Mask Girl"? Who's that?

[girl ] Y'know, the PangTV psycho k*ller?
She was on TV and all.

[girl ] Whoa, really?

f*ckin' unbelievable.
Y'know why she transferred to our school?

[girl ] Why?

[girl ] Apparently,
she stabbed a kid with a pencil.

- So...
- [girl ] What the hell? That's crazy!

That means we go to the same school
as a serial k*ller's daughter!

[girl ] My mom's making a complaint
to the Office of Education

to try to get her to leave the school.

- [teacher] Jeong-guk Kang.
- Here.

- [teacher] Na-rae Kim.
- Here.

[teacher] Mi-mo Kim.

Ye-chun. Is Mi-mo late?

I haven't seen her yet.

[teacher sighs]

- [teacher] Jin-hong Kim.
- [Jin-hong] Here.

- Ha-eun Kim.
- [Ha-eun] Here.

MI-MO, WHERE ARE YOU?

[sighs]

- Just a second.
- [Grandma] Mm-hmm.

Ye-chun.

Yes?

Can I have a word with you for a minute?

According to Mi-mo's grandmother,

Mi-mo hasn't come back home
since yesterday, unfortunately.

Do you know anything, by chance?

[Ye-chun exhales]

[teacher] You're, uh,
Mi-mo's closest friend, isn't that right?

Yeah, that's true.

But I don't know where she is.

[whimsical music playing]

The number you are trying to reach
is unavailable.

Please leave a message after the tone.

[line ringing]

[sighs]

The number you are trying to reach
is unavailable. Please leave...

Dang it, why aren't you picking up?

Where the heck are you?

- [Dad] Ye-chun! [laughs]
- [kid] Ye-chun!

- [Ye-chun] Hey.
- What's with the long face?

Did something happen at school?

- No, nothing.
- [Mom] Huh?

We bought fried chicken,
your favorite. Let's go.

- We got fried chicken.
- [Mom] We bought two boxes. Let's go.

- [Dad] It'll be a fried chicken party!
- [all] Yay!

- [Dad laughs]
- [Mom] Every other day! [laughs]

[Dad] So?!

Since our daughter likes chicken,
we can have one every day. [laughs]

[Mom] Okay, then. Let's party every day.
Let's have fried chicken tomorrow too!

[Mom] Why aren't you eating?

- I'll give you the leg today.
- [Ye-chun scoffs]

- [Dad] Usually, we'd auction it off...
- [cellphone buzzes]

...but I'll give it to ya this time.

MI-MO♥

No, no, I'm full. I can't eat anymore.

[Dad] Wha... Already?

Well, I'll eat it, then!

Hey, Mi-mo Kim, where are you?

Can you come meet me?

Yeah, of course. Where are you?

Oh, the underpass?
Okay, got it. Stay right there!

[panting]

[happily] Hey! Mi-mo Kim!

Hey!

Do you know how worried I was?

Why did you turn your phone off? [gasping]

[panting]

Why are you looking at me

like that?

Mi-mo!

Hey!

How could you do that?

What do you mean?

- You spread the rumors, right?
- "Rumors"?

What are you talking about?

- You spread the rumors about me!
- What rumors?!

[Ye-chun cries out]

[Mi-mo screaming] How could
you do this to me? How could you?

[Ye-chun] Hold on!
Mi-mo, why are you doing this?

No, stop! [cries out]

[Mi-mo] And you lied to me! You bitch!

Wait, Mi-mo. [sobbing] Listen to me.
I didn't spread any rumors about...

- [Mi-mo] Shut up, you backstabber!
- [Ye-chun squeals]
