THE GLORY

OCTOBER 17TH

It's too windy.
What did you just say?

Your wife's friend, Son Myeong-o,
keeps calling you, Mr. Ha.

Who is? Son Myeong-o?

[electronic beeping]

[Sa-ra] Ah, sh*t.

I can't remember anything
with this high wearing off. sh*t.

[sniffs] What was it?

SON MYEONG-O

[phone buzzing]

What?

What's up?
I'm a little busy.

[Myeong-o] Where are you
now? Can we meet? Want to come over?

You want to meet up? Why?

Well, let's talk.

I need to exchange some cash.
You have dollars, right?

[Sa-ra grunts, sighs]

[keypad beeps]

[safe unlocking]

[Myeong-o] Hey, did you hear me?

Exchange?

How much? Four dollars?

Go f*ck yourself. I
really don't have time for your sh*t.

Wow. You really
are a little b*tch.

What the f*ck did you say?

Ah, that's right.

You probably wouldn't
remember, would you?

Down on all fours
like a b*tch. [laughs]

I'll make sure to send you
the video as my present.

Now, you were there, right?

When So-hee died.

You ran without calling the cops,
even though you saw her fall?

What the f*ck? What're
you talking about?

Of course I didn't call the cops.
I was f*cking high.

I'm hanging up. I'm busy.
Quit bothering me.

[disconnect tone beeps]

Wow, she's so shameless.

Still her fault.

[sighs]

OCTOBER 18

[whistling]

JERKFACE JAE-JUN

You like it, sir?
Dear Mr. Jeon?

You know, being
bitten by your own dog?

[Jae-jun] You
m*therf*cker, where are you?

Where else would
I be? With you.

You must be on something now.

What did you send me?

Record of your embezzlement.
You should know already.

That account book
that shows where that money went

instead of that golf course
in the Philippines.

So then I'll be quick.

I'll keep my mouth shut
for some of your crypto, man.

For each page, one bitcoin.

Son of a b*tch.

The market's k*lling me,
and you want what? You wanna die?

Wow! I was just
going to say that.

Then, you remember the day
when So-hee died?

You were Yeon-jin's alibi
that day, weren't you?

[scoffs] What the hell
are you even saying now?

Moron. I've sent you
my crypto wallet address.

You have 48 hours to send it.

Ah, Jerkface Jae-jun.
You're not that tough, are you?

- Hey. Hey!
- [line disconnects]

What the f*ck?

[elevator dings]

[line ringing]

[Hye-jeong] What's up?

- Hey, it's your man, babe.
- Go f*ck yourself.

HYE-JEONG

Well, if you would like,
I can c*m for you.

So why don't we
leave Korea right now?

Oh wow. I'm so cute.

Yeah, I know
you're so f*cking cute.

That's why I'm saving you.

Why'd you go to school
the day So-hee died? Huh?

If you stay here in Korea,
you'll be a suspect.

So let's leave, Hye-jeong.
Let's just go together.

All the way to Russia.

Heels.

Why are you going to Russia?

Ah. You finally decided to be a dog?
A little sled doggy?

f*ck! sh*t, man!

I'm trying to get you
a first class ticket out of here!

You're the only person
who knows my apartment's passcode!

Don't you see
I'm in love with you? Don't you?

[screams]

I just got the chills.

Oh! Gyeong-ran, do
you have any fur coats?

[Myeong-o] I've
called all of them.

OCTOBER 19

You should've seen them.
Not one of them batted an eye.

And Yeon-jin, too?
Arranged a meeting?

Well, actually,
I wanted to call you first.

She'll be the next person
I call after you.

So then,

does this mean that you're including me
to the list of people you're calling?

Wow, Dong-eun,
you really are smart.

You see, Dong-eun,
I haven't told them about you.

You know how they can be.

Probably would just go
end you right on the spot.

So I'll get to my point.

If you want to live a long life,
give me the name tag, Dong-eun.

THE GLORY

EDEN APARTMENTS

[dark, sweeping music playing]

It's funny running
into you here.

I didn't know
I should have brought you with.

We could've
carpooled. Right, dear?

I need to leave some kind of sign
so that my friend knows I was here,

but I haven't figured out how.

So, tell me, honey,
what are you doing here?

Did Dong-eun approach
with some offering?

Even if she did do that,
why would you come?

What?

You've been with me, so now you want
to know what it's like with a teacher?

You're the one
I'm curious about.

The only main character here
is Park Yeon-jin.

Why you?

[dark, sweeping
music continuing]

[Do-yeong] I'll ask you once.

If you don't answer me,
I'll ask someone else.

Did you bully someone so much

that they tried to
k*ll themselves?

Did you verbally or physically

abuse them?

Do you want to know?

Really know?

Did Ms. Moon do anything
to deserve that?

Did she have to do anything?

What'd you say?

The idea that I bullied
her is some story.

It's just that we
didn't like each other.

I'm going to go now,

so look all you want.

[intricate, dramatic
music playing]

Honey, today you're the one
who disappointed me,

and not the other way.

[sighs]

RAINBOW EYE CLINIC

YOON SO-HEE

[doctor] What the
hell were you thinking?

Those bodies are not to be touched
without my permission.

Are you out of your mind?

I know that sir, but
I thought maybe…

Because he's
the director's son…

You're dismissed.

You're Joo Yeo-jeong.
Maybe I can help you.

That's me. I asked
him to let me in.

Do you have a
minute to talk to me?

So, Yoon So-hee's
body's in the freezer?

Yeah.

Our records say she's in the morgue,
but her body's actually in the freezer.

This information, as
you can understand, is confidential.

Can you tell me, why
are you so interested in finding her?

For personal reasons.

Why did the hospital do this?

What is the purpose of having
all of these security measures in place?

The real purpose…
I'm not sure.

All I know is that the orders
came from the late director himself.

From my father?

[somber, dramatic music playing]

- [door opens]
- Three-seven-two-four.

[door closes]

I was so happy to see
that the lights were on.

Were you waiting long? You should've
text me when you got here.

I just got in.

- It must've been a busy day for you.
- Not really.

I had some business in Seoul.

Actually, I got these
blue towels for you.

Pink's the only thing
that looks good on me.

Wow, you're really
checking right now?

It does look good.

You think so?

I'm sorry, but I haven't prepared
the guest room yet.

So you can sleep in my bed.
Tomorrow, we'll shop for yours.

That's my room there.

I ordered something, actually,
but it's not a bed.

If I'm not here,
then just leave it.

I'll assemble it myself.

So what did you order?

The cops called and they want
an interview. What do I do?

[Jae-jun] What do you
mean? It's just an interview.

Why? Did you
k*ll Myeong-o?

You think I did, too?

f*ck me. Did I k*ll him?

Ah, what the hell are you on?

I can't remember
when I last saw him,

or if we fought or we're good

I have no f*cking clue.

Which is better?
Committing m*rder or doing drugs?

Just think. You could
accidentally m*rder someone,

but can you accidentally take drugs?
That sounds kind of weird, right?

Hanging up.
You're f*cking annoying, Sa-ra.

They call you too?
When's your interview? Mine's next week.

It's today.

- [knocking at door]
- Guess he's here.

Come in!

Today?

No, wait. Hey,
put me on speaker.

No, wait. Record it.

[Sa-ra gags]
I'm gonna hurl…

Stop it, okay?

Please, sit.

I'm a very busy man.

I don't have
time for the police.

That's okay.
It gives me an excuse to get out.

I called earlier. Detective Choi.
Here's my card.

Ah.

Do you always look
for missing adults?

He's no longer a missing person.
It's now a criminal case.

It seems Mr. Son
may have been involved with narcotics.

Do you remember
the last time you saw Mr. Son?

Not sure.

Hasn't been to
work in three weeks.

He stopped coming to work?
That didn't concern you?

Honestly, he stopped coming in
right as I was about to fire his a*s.

Such a sh*t employee.

It's so hard to fire
someone nowadays.

Yeah, well.

Do you remember
anything else that might be helpful?

Did he meet with someone
around that time?

Huh. Before he was gone,

there was someone who was
desperately looking around for him.

And who was that?

Jaepyeong Group's
owner, Ha Do-yeong.

He even gave me
his business card.

He had this kind
of mad look there.

[cryptic music playing]

I wonder why?

[Yeon-jin] When it looks
like there's a second sun in the sky,

we call it a sun dog.

A sun dog is an event that is
created by the refraction of sunlight

by ice crystals that are
floating around in the atmosphere.

In Korean, this event is known as murihae,
meaning "many suns."

Depending how you look,
it could be two suns,

or an illusion made by light.

I hope you're all observing this unique
weather phenomenon that happened today.

- Park Yeon-jin, signing off.
- [beeping]

SA-RA

[Sa-ra] Jae-jun, how'd it go with
the cop? Any news on Myeong-o?

What's wrong? Huh?

[suspenseful music playing]

You could've asked
for the passcode.

That lock was
expensive, Yeon-jin.

Yeah, I should have.

It was even more
expensive to open it.

Maybe I should rip
open your mouth.

Or break your hands that paid
some b*stard to do your dirty work.

What?

Come on. I want
a coffee. Do you?

[Yeon-jin] I really loved
seeing your home.

Must've worked hard.

Working at the factory,
passing exams, teaching.

But you haven't
upgraded your living?

- Must've been difficult.
- I see you've done research.

[chuckles]

This b*tch…

You're the one to talk.

Well, that was the only way.

When I started this all, I
thought it'd be like Taken.

But when things got going,

I was following you all around.

Had to fund the whole thing,
and even transferred schools. [exhales]

It's a lot of work.

Just shut up.

If you're really after revenge now,
you would've gone to the police station.

All you're doing is rambling
because you have no proof.

Well, try your best.

With bullshit.

You don't ever listen, do you?

I said I've been busy.

You see, I posted this online,

but it didn't
get many views…

Maybe 'cause it lacks a subject?

Post it.

Make sure to
include the subject.

Whatever it is,
I have a million ways to explain.

Really?

But could you
escape this too, then?

DROPOUT FORM
MOON DONG-EUN

I promise that I'll k*ll you.

Wake up already.

I should be the one k*lling you.

You selfish b*tch.

I changed my mind a hundred times
on whether I would come or not.

But I decided to do it.

The reason I came
to visit you today

is to give you an opportunity
for one last chance.

And I'm giving it because of the gesture
of kindness left by somebody at my door.

What the hell are you saying?

You go turn yourself in.

Take these and
give them to the police.

Confess everything you did

in order to cover up
the crimes you committed.

[scoffs]

Do what?

If your punishment
comes from me,

it'll be a lot
harsher, Yeon-jin.

I promise, I will pay you back
for the 18 years of hell.

You have to beg for forgiveness
from me and your other victims

by turning yourself in.

Then I'll put a stop
to my revenge here.

Wow.

How nice of you, Dong-eun.

Why would I do that?

How would it just stop there?

As soon as I go to the police,
it'll be in the news.

And then, it would be all over.

Trying to be smart, or what?

Also, I think you've
misunderstood something.

I didn't do anything
wrong, Dong-eun.

Nothing wrong? Really?

Not at all.

So you think
I made your life a living hell?

[scoffs] That's just wrong.

Your life has been hell
since the moment you were born.

Honestly, you
should be thanking me.

Because of me, you teach.

What's wrong, being the reason
that helped turn your life around?

Forgiveness?

[derisive laugh]

Who forgives who?

Why do the poor always believe
in things like poetic justice or karma?

Even if I have
to pull you apart,

I promise I'll find
another straightener to use on you.

Get lost.

[chilling music playing]

I really should thank you.

Our meeting here has
completely erased all my guilt.

Actually, I think it's nice
to see you like this.

That expression there tells me
you're struggling, so good luck.

This was your last chance,

and you just threw away
the lifeline your husband got you.

[Jae-jun] It turns
out I have a secret love child.

Have you had something
taken from you?

[suspenseful music pulsing]

He went missing?

Son Myeong-o?

Yes.

The Jongno police want to interview you
about his disappearance.

I'm sorry sir,

but Son Myeong-o asked me
to give you something.

Here.

[harsh, suspenseful
music continuing]

[Myeong-o] Ms.
Secretary,

I have information on the m*therf*cker
that has been f*cking your boss' wife.

So tell your boss
if he doesn't want to see

this guy's name
plastered all over the internet,

he should call me soon.

[tools clattering]

[Yeo-jeong] Okay.

Oh my God!

Hey there.

Uh, I just wanted
to look inside, I swear. Uh…

"Don't assemble it," I told myself.
"Don't do it." But the manuals…

I mean, I used to be a Boy Scout,
but I swore I wouldn't...

Why didn't you assemble this
on the second floor?

Or did you not consider it'll be
much harder to move once it's built?

Ah, that's right.

[exhales]

Huh. You're
right. Totally.

- No problem. Let's just leave it here.
- I don't want to impose.

Let's move it after we eat.

Dessert.

[chuckles]

Whoa! Roasted sweet potatoes
are my favorite.

- You said noodles were your favorite.
- Wow.

They are. This is
my second-favorite.

[gentle, heartfelt
music playing]

Welcome home.

This is the real one.

[Dong-eun] Look
at these sparkling walls.

Not yellowed by cigarette smoke

or infected with mold.

You can't find
hatred in these walls.

How unfamiliar.

[music trails off]

[dark, distressing music plays]

[Dong-eun] How about your
walls? Are they still shiny and sturdy?

Yeon-jin?

[music trails off]

Sit here. Next to
the fire to stay warm.

Use this.

Do we have to eat
out here in the cold?

Well, this is why I decided on
a house with a yard.

Isn't it romantic?

The only thing I think
when I see houses like this one

is that the heating
and the electricity bill must be insane

if they have them
running all the time.

I'll pay my share,
but we're not splitting them in half.

'Cause, if we do that,

then I'll turn everything off.

Jeez.

I got it.

They're just for today, then.

Here. Dip it in there.

[gentle Korean acoustic
pop song playing]

When did you
learn how to do this?

Uh, I guess

I learned how to
this morning. Uh…

Well, I looked up ideas
for some romantic dinners.

Thank you for this.

If this is really
that important to you,

then let's try being romantic.

For real?

- Should I play some music?
- No.

I can just sing for you then.
[clears throat] Ah, check.

- [vocalizing]
- Can I take back what I just said?

[vocalizing] No.

One, two, three.
One, two, three.

[coughing]

Oh no. [Dong-eun coughs]

I'm feeling ill.

I might have a fever.

I'll go in.

Let's see.

In my professional opinion,

you're faking it.

Did you really have
to check right away?

I'll let you off now.

You're missing out.
I can sing like a bird.

Thank you for taking me in.

You must've been
surprised and confused.

It was the right
thing to do for you.

[gentle pop song fades away]

[Sa-ra] Drugs?

It's now a drug investigation
instead of a missing persons?

f*ck me!

I knew this would
f*cking happen! Damn it!

sh*t. Look
what you've done.

This is all because
you called the cops.

- You're such a f*cking b*tch.
- Let go! My hair! [groans]

Maybe you shouldn't have become
a drug addict in the first place!

- Hey, hey, hey.
- I'll f*cking k*ll you!

I get you're going through withdrawal,
but it's your fault you took them.

- f*ck!
- It's about time you realize that.

Ah, sh*t!

[Sa-ra stomping off, groaning]

Guys, we can't
do this right now.

Moon Dong-eun is
really coming after us.

DROPOUT FORM

INCIDENT REPORT

What's this?

What do you think, huh?

Evidence from when
we bullied her in high school.

How is that my problem?

You're the only one
who'll be affected by the scandal.

I don't give a sh*t
about any of this.

I'm only asking
'cause it's been bothering me.

Did Myeong-o ask any
of you about So-hee?

You too?

You too? Oh wow…

He asked me why I went
to So-hee's school that day.

[Sa-ra] So he called each of us?

And now he's missing?

Ah, I almost told him

that Yeon-jin was the one
who asked me to go.

What are you trying to
say now, Hye-jeong?

I spent that entire
day with Jae-jun.

Back then, we were
all unfairly investigated.

Haven't we all agreed on that?

So then it's "we" now?

[lawyer] Well in this
situation, your best scenario won't be a lawsuit.

It's the mother
getting a divorce.

Remind me where that was again?

With me?

We were in the movie room

watching some
naughty movies together.

Ah.

We were like that, huh?

[Sa-ra] You expect
us to believe that?

No one's willing to say it,

but you're the one
who did something to So-hee.

Sa-ra.

I think you should shut up now.

Be careful.

[Hye-jeong] So then,

what did Myeong-o
have to say to you?

What did he ask
you about So-hee?

[menacing music playing]

[lighter flicking]

[laughs]

[cackles]

You all really have lost it.

Go screw yourselves.

[phone trills]

[line ringing]

It's me, Mr. Shin.

Remember my name tag back then?

[train horn blares]

TO THE DETECTIVE
IN CHARGE OF YOON SO-HEE'S CASE

COMPLAINT BOX

Any idea how hard a membership
for the Western CC is?

Hey, I didn't win this
in just any gambling match, either.

[woman] How'd you wrap it up?

It was deemed nothing
more than a suicide.

[chuckles]

You know, if you didn't
do well in school,

I swear your face would be
all over the society columns.

PARK YEON-JIN

I should burn this.

It's bad luck.

[Dong-eun] Back then,
I was far too naive.

I thought they would
reopen the investigation

if additional evidence
was discovered,

but nothing ever happened.

Even the name tag wasn't
in the evidence list.

Then the name tag
you had wasn't real.

So why did you tell Mr. Son
that you had it?

Because Myeong-o didn't know
it wasn't real.

I just needed some bait
to get him to start swimming.

Where exactly did
you want Mr. Son to go?

To Yeon-jin.

Hmm.

You've been repeating yourself
this entire time.

The weather
reporter, Park Yeon-jin,

was somehow involved
in Mr. Son's disappearance,

but you have no evidence
to support this claim. Am I right?

I have to give you the proof too?
After I turned in this report?

Ninety-nine percent
of reports like these are lies.

And defamation is a
very serious crime.

Now, all I want to know is
if Mr. Son had anything to do with drugs.

Do you know anything about that?

I'll think about it.

All I want to know is,
do you know something or not?

I don't know if this
is defamation or not,

so I'll think about it.

After all, I shouldn't commit
such a serious crime.

And what about the name tag?

Didn't they send it to you then?

If it was dropped off at the station,
there has to be a witness.

Did you even try
and conduct an investigation?

[chuckles]

You're mad I
wasn't investigating?

You're asking me why I didn't
make your problem even bigger?

Do you want me
to really live in fear?

What if they turn themselves in?

After all this time?

You said it. They
were anonymous.

If they were going to show up,
they would've done it back then.

But what if there's
more evidence?

What if the witness
suddenly goes crazy now

and decides they need
to be a hero tomorrow?

It's been 18 years.

Your mother got rid of
the name tag long ago.

Only the corpse remains.

And that corpse has been
in the mortuary, rotting away.

Even if they were to reinvestigate,
the case is already ruled as a suicide.

Even if they somehow came back to life,
there's no way anyone can overturn it!

[chuckles]

You're right.
That's true, right?

That's exactly what I wanted
to hear from you.

Oh, and where's
that motel you bought?

That one? Or
is it that one?

[chuckles]

That's it.

Thank you for finding
out about the car.

Don't.

He'll just beat you up if you go in there.
There's no point confronting him.

He bought himself
four bottles of soju.

He won't fall
asleep for a while.

[siren wailing in distance]

[gentle music playing]

Oh, Sun-a.

How are you so
bright and beautiful,

even though you grew up
in a place so awful?

You remember the
thing I hate the most?

Tear jokes.

Tearjerkers.

[chuckles]

Yeah, that's right.

[tearfully] I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

There's nothing
to be sorry about.

Don't cry, Mom.

None of this is your fault.

You're doing the
best you can every day.

Sun-a…

Do you…

want to…

go somewhere that's…

far from here?

To study?

The US isn't that far.
It's not like I'd be walking there.

Promise you'll
come join me soon?

Mm-hmm. Of course.

Really soon.

You can go first.
Then Ms. Moon and I will follow you.

You can go to school there.
Start cheerleading, even.

Maybe date the football
quarterback too.

[deeply] Are you okay?

What movies are you watching?

[chuckles]

[Hyeon-nam] In Chinese,
Sun-a's name means "kind" and "bright."

I chose her name myself.

Maybe her life's hard
'cause I didn't pick the right name.

KANG HYEON-NAM

Maybe I should have
paid someone to name her.

But in the US, Sun-a will get
a new English name, won't she?

[Hyeon-nam chuckles]
That's all I need.

That's all I
need, Ms. Moon.

BEWARE OF INFECTION

Wow, four hours?

OPERATION TIME

Still in the game, Doctor.

He was in a car accident.
I was trying to stop the bleeding.

[groans]

What's up? You
didn't even call ahead.

Need more money?

Hey, not that. I'm
here for business.

What business do
you have in my hospital?

I've got some with you.

I've missed you, Mom.

[Yeo-jeong's mother yelps]
You'll get blood on you!

- So?
- Ugh. You ran out of money.

[faucet running]

Hey, so Mom,

if I took my scalpel
and used it as an executioner's sword,

would you try to stop me?

What are you saying?

What if I made
a different choice than Dad?

The person who I like
went through something horrible.

And I want to help
her get her revenge.

Because I was bored.

So your poor son
really went to hell, right?

That as*h*le.

He's a r*pist. He
assaulted people and m*rder*d them.

But he still tried to save him,
like any other patient.

Your father…

was a very good man.

So kind and warm-hearted.

But then,

blindly acting with good intentions
only brings false glory.

Nothing more.

I always thought
you took after your father,

but now I see I was wrong.

You're more like me.

You wanna help her?

Then keep it secret.

If this is what you
really want to do,

I'm not going to stop you.

No one will know.

[woman] Here you go.

So Yeon-jin really
broke into your house?

Oh my God.

Did she take anything?

What do I have
that she'd want to steal from me?

I only asked for your help
'cause I was worried about this.

Really? What is it?

So-hee's incident report.

This is the reason
why I shared everything with Myeong-o.

But how did you get
your hands on this?

MISS, PLEASE READ THIS

This is the autopsy report
for Yoon So-hee.

It was performed here.

EIGHT WEEKS
INTO PREGNANCY

Yoon So-hee

was eight week pregnant.

So-hee was pregnant?

Yeah.

That's why I asked them
to get the incident report for me.

I want to bring
So-hee back home.

I'm going to get it for her.
I'm avenging her.

I think that may be
why I'm still alive.

So many times I
have wanted to die.

You won't believe me,

but I feel So-hee
was helping me fall asleep.

Because she's with
me, I feel strong now.

I just…

You poor thing, Dong-eun.

I feel horrible for
you and So-hee.

[dramatic music building]

[Myeong-o] If you want a long
life, give me the name tag, Dong-eun.

I guess we're not
in the same boat anymore.

What else can I do?

That ship's totally off-course.

So think carefully, Dong-eun.

What if I decide to
switch teams on you?

I mean, even for you…

the odds are one against four.

I mean, they're all murderers.

Those four k*lled So-hee.

The only one
innocent is me, right?

You think you're innocent?

Come on now.

What am I guilty of?

A sin that warrants
being ripped apart.

Don't forget,
I've already fought five to one.

So good luck.

Hey! You f*cking b*tch.

How annoying.

Ah, sh*t. Damn it.

No, wait. I just need
Yeon-jin to take the bait.

[line ringing]

[line connects]

I have been

thinking about you
non-stop all day long.

Wanna meet up later?

I have something
I really want to talk to you about.

If you don't me with me today,

then I will just meet you
at your work tomorrow.

Now I'm curious.

Why do you want to meet?

I'm with friends,
so I can't right now.

So around 11:00?

[sweeping, intricate
music building]

YEONGSAN FUNERAL HOME

[music trails off]

[tense music pulsing]

PARK YEON-JIN

[knock echoes]

[jarring stinger]

[chilling music playing]

May I help you?

Get out, lady.

I think you've got
the wrong person.

I don't think I do.

Kang Hyeon-nam, right?

Knock it off and get out now.
