01x12 - Episode #1.12

Post by bunniefuu »

Don't think it's a bit much?

How many guys did you bring

just to take me out?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

So, that's all you have to say

for your last words?

First, I'm going to prep two cameras.

You can install them

at the location I mentioned.

Okay. And then?

Then, my phone.

We install spyware on it

as insurance.

You know, a zombie phone.

Then I put an app on your spare phone

so you can remotely control my phone.

Even if my phone is turned off

we can tweak it so that certain

functions stay active like malware.

Audio and video recording

will still work.

Everything will auto-upload

to the cloud every 30 minutes

so it won't be tampered with.

This feels dangerous.

What are you planning that you need

to prepare this thoroughly?

Knowing too much will get you hurt.

This guy.

You think this is funny?

It is funny. You don't think so?

Hey.

Let's be real.

Can you actually k*ll me?

Do you have the guts

without your boss

Moon Do-hyuk, giving the order?

You're just his errand boy.

You must be desperate

to find a way out of this.

Forget it.

Mr. Moon already signed off on it.

Whether you die here

or vanish without a trace

it won't be a problem,

you piece of sh*t.

Take him out.

You scared me.

Because she's more likely to live

a normal life

through you, rather than me.

Tell me. What do you want me to do?

- Anything for you.

- If anything happens, call me.

Why not? Why won't you?

You could be in danger--

No. I don't want that.

Why do I have to suffer?

All right.

- I understand.

- So go ahead, Ah-jin.

Use me all you want.

That's what I want.

MESSAGES

KIM JAE-OH

CONFIRM

How many guys did you bring?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Check his phone.

YOON JUN-SEO

Have you finished the job?

As you can see, yes.

Make sure to clean it up

without a trace.

Do we get rid of this, too?

It's his phone.

You can give it to me.

I need to check it, just in case.

This psycho dragged the CEO's name

into his threats.

I need to see what he was holding.

Welcome home, ma'am.

Goodbye.

Take care of Kim Jae-oh

however you want.

Just make sure

I never hear about him again.

I don't want his name

ruining another meal with my wife.

EPISODE 12: THE FINAL X

Where's Kim Jae-oh?

Where is he?

I had no idea

what this job was for.

If I had known,

I never would have helped him.

What was it?

The cameras.

He asked me to install them

at the construction site.

He said the footage would auto-upload

and that I should collect the cameras

once enough time passed

and hand you

the memory card

and my spare phone.

What are you doing? Throw him.

Two of you stay on the lookout.

The rest go down and clean it up.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

I don't see anyone.

Even Ms. Gong stepped out.

I asked them to give us some privacy.

Sit. I have something to say.

I wonder

what you want to say to me.

From now on,

don't touch me without permission.

Don't hug me from behind

like earlier.

Don't even let your breath touch me.

Don't do anything.

That's unreasonable.

Aren't we husband and wife?

Because we're husband and wife

I'm telling you

not to treat me like a doll.

If I'm your wife

you should treat me as your equal.

Isn't that right?

I thought pitying you

and adoring you was enough.

Why should I listen to that?

I'm sure you received

the report by now.

I found a way to corner you.

People who got locked up

and disappeared on your orders.

Now, there's one more.

And I have the evidence.

Let's be real.

Can you actually k*ll me?

Do you have the guts

without your boss

Moon Do-hyuk, giving the order?

You're just his errand boy.

You must be desperate

to find a way out of this.

Forget it.

Mr. Moon already signed off on it.

Whether you die here

or vanish without a trace

it won't be a problem,

you piece of sh*t.

What are you doing?

Throw him.

You're not the only one

who can corner me or discard me.

With your perfect little life

a single crack will stand out.

Can you handle that?

Mr. Perfectionist?

So, this is what you wanted to say?

You made me sit here just for that?

When you gave the order

I was there.

The evidence is here.

And so is the witness.

I can't tell

if this is a negotiation or a threat.

Does your dear friend know

that his death

is being used like this?

He'd be proud

he was used for my sake.

It wasn't exploitation.

He let himself be used.

Just so I could have something

to shake you with

he risked everything.

You had everything from the beginning

so I wouldn't expect

you to understand.

What the heck did you do?

Say something.

If I tell you

can you handle it?

Tell me.

I wanted to put a leash

around Do-hyuk's neck.

So he couldn't mess with me again.

And Jae-oh helped me do that.

He walked straight in

knowing that he'd die.

That's what he wanted.

What are you trying to say?

You did nothing wrong,

whether Jae-oh is dead or not?

- That--

- What should I have done, then?

How long are you

going to live like that?

I'm sick of it, too.

Jun-seo.

Now that Jae-oh ended up like that

I can't stop anymore.

Is this all my fault?

Who has the right to condemn me?

Who can understand

my situation and my position

right now?

Then, answer me this one thing.

You can stop now.

This is the end, right?

Right?

Please say something.

Please tell me that this is the end!

I can't stop.

I won't stop.

If you knew how dangerously

I'm hanging on to this position

you wouldn't tell me to stop.

This is Yoon Jun-seo.

Does the documentary offer

from last time

still stand?

Hold on, sir. How can I help you?

- What's the matter?

- Moon Do-hyuk.

Mr. Yoon Jun-seo?

I didn't think

you'd come find me in person.

You k*lled Jae-oh.

Everything you ordered is

all recorded here.

I see.

And?

If you're planning

to do anything to Ah-jin

I'll spread this footage

to the media.

A lot of people are telling me

what to do today.

But tell me.

Do you think I'll just sit still

while you post that?

I'm sure you know I can do

far more than you can.

A cheap video

where my name is barely mentioned

won't

- Do we get rid of this, too?

- What's this?

It's his phone.

You can give it to me.

This psycho dragged the CEO's name

into his threats.

Anyway, once this is handled properly

put in a good word for me

with Mr. Moon.

I still feel uneasy

about that mistake last time.

The fire incident, right?

If we had k*lled him properly then,

we wouldn't have had to do this.

Perhaps releasing the video

and audio recordings I have

won't deal a fatal blow to you.

But you know what?

It'll leave a stain.

Once those stains pile up

the perfect reputation

you've been keeping so far

will get dirty eventually.

I can always clean up

when things get dirty.

But are you threatening me right now?

I'm here to warn you.

Because I can't just sit by and watch

you or Ah-jin any longer.

Now that I think about it

your friend also tried to warn me,

and we both know how he ended up.

I guess friends

share similar traits.

Leave Ah-jin alone.

I'll be the one to stop her.

You just take a step back

and watch from afar.

Just like you always have.

I've come to make a confession.

Sister, I know

who k*lled your family.

It's someone you know.

Actress Baek Ah-jin

invited to the Berlin Film Festival

with The Woman with a Suitcase

is making a strong impression

internationally.

Through her recent film

Amen to Nothing

Baek Ah-jin has captivated

critics and audiences

with a bold transformation

and a fully immersive performance.

Many say that she's at the peak

of her acting career.

Tonight at the Bluedragon Awards

she's considered the strongest

candidate for Best Actress.

Will she take home the award

at the Bluedragon Awards tonight?

All eyes are on her.

- Why are you glowing so much today?

- You look stunning.

It's the same face you see every day.

What's the fuss?

And it's pretty every day.

I can never get tired of your beauty.

I agree.

JUN-SEO

JUN-SEO

You can just leave that.

I can throw it out for you.

- I'll--

- No.

It's okay. I'll throw it out.

Oh, sure.

BAEK AH-JIN

If you ever feel like helping me,

call me then.

Otherwise, don't get in my way

for no reason.

It's Baek Ah-jin!

You're aware the award show is airing

on a different channel now, right?

They say the Best Actress Award is

basically guaranteed to go to her.

That actually works out better.

Because her final appearance

will stay in people's memories

as her most beautiful one.

DIM HEART: TWO FACES OF AN ACTRESS

NOTABLE TRAITS:

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER

FOUND IN ABOUT 4 PERCEN

OF THE POPULATION

Baek Ah-jin.

She falls within the four percent

of the population

with antisocial personality disorder.

She views others as tools

and manipulates or uses them

to achieve her goals.

At the biggest annual event

in Korean cinema

Baek Ah-jin stands

as a top contender for Best Actress

drawing intense attention

from media and fans alike.

She has never

physically committed m*rder

but she caused

the deaths of two people.

She has deliberately approached

only men who were of use to her.

She still harbors

an unfulfilled plan to k*ll.

She is Baek Ah-jin, an actress.

Now, let us begin

the 46th Bluedragon Awards.

Let's get started.

Baek Ah-jin is

the strongest candidate

for Best Actress, right?

If she wins, ratings will explode.

Don't tell her anything beforehand.

Make sure no one gets near her.

Got it?

Song Kyeong-su.

DIM HEAR

Baek Ah-jin.

The elegant and kind actress.

Baek Ah-jin?

She was the epitome of perfection.

She was smart, kind, and pretty.

She stood out wherever she was.

Everyone at our school knew her.

Even the teachers adored her.

But those who knew her well

tell a completely different story.

We met those people.

What do I think of Baek Ah-jin?

A devil wearing human skin.

She didn't have a mother.

And her father was a criminal.

She wasn't normal,

at least from what I felt.

It always seemed like her emotions

were rehearsed, as if she was acting.

Her acting has

always been exceptional.

She switched masks

whenever it suited her needs.

That's why I could never tell

what she was thinking.

I think she has

very little empathy for others.

I figured that was the case.

I even recommended

she get psychological counseling.

TRUE LOVE COUNSELING CENTER

Check this out.

It's about Baek Ah-jin.

Is this for real?

Isn't she terrifying?

How can a human being do this?

Now, we'll move on to the highly

anticipated Best Actress Award.

Last year's winner, Jin Seo-gyeong,

will be joining us to present it.

Please give her a round of applause.

Hello, I'm Jin Seo-gyeong.

Let me announce the winner.

The Best Actress Award

at the 46th Bluedragon Awards

goes to

Baek Ah-jin for Amen to Nothing.

Congratulations.

Baek Ah-jin,

the winner of the Best Actress Award

portrayed a nun in Amen to Nothing

who investigates the tragedy

that befell her family

and carries out revenge

delivering a deeply moving

and introspective performance

about a character

in anguish over religious doubts.

Congratulations

from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank you.

First of all

my mom

in heaven.

How do I look, Mom?

Are you proud of me?

Her mother died in an accident.

Her father was

the victim of a m*rder case.

She was also present

at her lover's grandmother's death

and later, her lover took

his own life.

For one person

to experience all of this

the coincidences seem too extreme.

- A documentary about Ah-jin is out.

- What?

That's a scoop.

Start preparing for revisions.

- Check if any articles are out.

- Yes, sir.

While working on Amen to Nothing

I couldn't help but wonder

"Where is my God?"

Looking back

I realized

He was inside me all along.

I grew up

in an unfortunate environment.

But luck always followed me.

I thought we were incredibly lucky.

I caught myself wondering

if she was an angel

who had come down for my brother.

But I overheard something

at my grandma's funeral.

Was it someone in the film industry?

Apparently, she was smiling

in front of him.

Every step I took to get here

wasn't easy.

But I never stopped.

I kept moving forward

and eventually, I got here.

Her acting has

always been exceptional.

She switched masks

whenever it suited her needs.

To everyone who walked with me

on my journey to today

I offer my sincere gratitude.

She used the people around her

to make me look

like an idiot and a thief.

Could she have used our boss

to try to k*ll her own father?

We were like family

when she was dating my brother.

I thought she'd at least

show up once at the funeral.

I was stunned.

Soon after, news came out

that she was marrying a chaebol.

I was like, "What?"

These testimonies about Baek Ah-jin

are not easy to verify.

So, we wondered

whether continuing this investigation

was the right thing to do.

Then, we learned something new.

Rumors surrounding

the suspicious death of her father,

Baek Seon-gyu.

Dim Heart began to track down

the truth of that day.

There were three primary suspects

in this case.

Former baseball player, Mr. Choi.

And the person who was

consistently abused by the victim

and thus had the clearest motive,

the victim's daughter

actress Baek Ah-jin

BAEK AH-JIN

ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER

I remember that case.

It was very unusual.

There was only one victim

but multiple potential perpetrators.

Among them, the one

with the clearest motive was

the victim's daughter, Baek Ah-jin.

Lastly

to everyone

who loved my performance

and showed enthusiasm for my work

and to those who supported me

not only as an actress

but as a person.

I give this glory to you.

I sincerely thank you.

The final suspect provided

our team with a decisive tip.

It was Yoon Seok-ha,

the author of Co-Offender Y.

The incident back then

was planned from the beginning.

It's true that Ah-jin

deliberately sought out

someone kind enough to act for her.

It's also true that

she found Choi Jung-h* and used him.

It would have been easy for her

to win someone over

and set a trap.

Back then

she even had a stalker decoy to use.

When the said stalker hit her,

she immediately called Mr. Choi

so he rushed over.

But it wasn't a stalker.

The person Choi struck

with the bat was

Seeing you alive

wasn't part of my plan.

the man disguised

to look like her stalker.

It was her father

Baek Seon-gyu.

When I arrived, Choi was already gone

and Baek Seon-gyu

was lying on the floor.

There was blood everywhere

so I assumed he was dead.

Then, I saw Ah-jin.

She was sitting

against the bathroom wall

holding the bat.

She looked at me and said

"It's over."

That's what she said.

"It's all over."

Other people's suffering

meant nothing to her.

She only ever used people

to achieve her own goals

and discarded them.

That's how she built

her current position.

Do you want to go somewhere?

Anywhere

without people.

I thought you'd change

if I waited long enough.

But you didn't.

I realized that far too late.

That I couldn't save you

and that I was clinging

to something impossible.

That you could never change.

Exactly.

And you realized

that simple thing too late.

So what? Do you regret it now?

No.

Because now,

I'm the only one who can handle you.

Handle me how?

I have nowhere to go anymore.

If you truly have nowhere to go

how about we go to hell together

Ah-jin?

Are you being serious?

I already decided

to stay with you to the end.

If you stop now

I'll stop, too.

What will you do?

I thought there was nothing left

that could tie me down.

But it was you.

My final shackle.

Let's not do anything anymore.

So that no one gets hurt

we'll only look at each other.

I love you

Ah-jin.

Last night, the car driven

by author Yoon Seok-ha

crashed into a guardrail

and fell off a cliff.

The driver, Yoon Seok-ha,

died at the scene

and actress Baek Ah-jin,

believed to be the passenger

is currently missing.

The police are investigating

the exact cause of the accident.

WRITER YOON SEOK-HA DEAD,

ACTRESS BAEK AH-JIN MISSING

At some point

your presence started feeling

like a blade stuck in my heart.

Even in death, I wouldn't be able

to understand or forgive you.

So, in this life, I wanted to cleanly

sever anything tied to you and leave.

And I wanted to disappear

from your life, too.

That's the best choice.

I gave you

one last brief moment of happiness

so you can live

the rest of your life

with that in mind.

Maybe this is

the first and last long revenge

I'll ever give you, Mom.

No, Jun-seo.

Jun-seo.

I hope you stay healthy.

Jun-seo!

Jun-seo!

You can't find her anywhere?

No signs of life or trace anywhere?

Fine, never mind.

You don't have to go that far.

ACTRESS BAEK AH-JIN STILL MISSING

Just leave the broadcast

and respond

when they ask for cooperation.

We want to share

a follow-up to our previous broadcast

"Two Faces of an Actress."

We recently learned that Yoon Jun-seo

our informant

and the author of Co-Offender Y

passed away not long ago.

Please pay attention to this video.

It was submitted anonymously.

This footage proves

that she was in the vehicle

that Yoon Jun-seo was driving.

After this video,

she vanished completely

and has not been reachable since.

THE LATE BAEK AH-JIN

Do something about this!
