NOTES FROM THE LAST ROW

[tense music playing]

[music building]

[suspenseful music playing]

[cell phone ringing]

[ringing stops]

[music abates]

[Kang] Things took a turn
when Mr. Kim got a phone call.

[tense, discordant music playing]

[frenetic jazz music playing]

[gasps softly]

[breath trembles nervously]

[panting]

[car beeps]

[car engine starts]

[music fades]

-[cell phone vibrating]
-[pants]

[breathing softens]

[cell phone chimes]

[tense music building]

Se-yun?

Se-yun. Se-yun!

-It turned into a chase.
-We need to talk! I know what you did!

[panting]

[music abates, fades]

[both panting]

Ms. Ahn?

What are you doing here?

-[unsettling music playing]
-[Eun-joo breathes shakily]

Eun-joo?

Eun-joo wrote the letter?

[gasps]

What are you saying?

But the most shocking thing

was how much she knew about everything.

We thought she knew nothing,
and she had us all fooled!

[music abates]

I don't understand.

You followed me here?

No. I thought you were Se-yun.

What about you? What are you doing here?

You thought I was…

Was it you asking questions
at the hotel too?

The one who asked
if it could've been m*rder.

[Eun-joo gasps]

[tense music playing]

Did you

go to the hotel too?

If you did,

you know it was just an accident.

This is none of your business,
so just stay out of it.

[scoffs] What do you mean,
"stay out of it"? A woman lost her life.

I saw the letter.
You know it wasn't an accident.

[tense music continues]

"I have the hospital
security camera footage."

That's what it said.

[music peaks, halts]

What exactly do you know?

What do you want?

Nothing.

I'm not here because I want something.

Don't worry.

I just wanna know what happened, really.

And anyway, I'm on your side.

Not the police's side.

What are you saying?

[somber piano music playing]

If you won't tell me the truth,
I'll find out,

even if I have to go to the police.

[Eun-joo sighs softly]

[Kang] In the end,

she told me everything.

[music fades]

Oh my God. It's all so awful.

That's why it took so long.
I couldn't interrupt her.

-I… I couldn't even call you. I--
-All right.

[steadies breathing] Okay.

[shakily] Here. Calm down.

Go on. Have a seat.

Tell me everything.

[breath trembling]

So she… knew everything already?

Okay, I'm ready. What did she say?

Okay, so first… she started telling me--

[clattering]

[whispers] Sh. Hold on.

[clock ticking]

[distant door closes]

[closes softly]

[whispers] From now on,

let's keep it down.

-She said…
-[cell phone vibrating]

[vibrating stops]

[keypad clacks]

[Mun-oh sighs]

Hello?

Really?

Uh-huh.

Uh… y-yes, I'm here.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

-[phone beeps]
-Hey. Where are you going?

What is it?

-Huh?
-Sorry.

Something's come up, Mr. Heo. I gotta go.

I'll call you… uh… as soon as I can.

Wait. What do you mean? What is it?

Nothing happened to… to Eun-joo, right?

Is she okay? Huh?

-Is she?
-It's not her.

Look, uh, I'll be back soon.

Hey! You can't leave like this.

-Wait!
-[Kang pants]

Hey, Lee Kang, call me tomorrow!

-Okay? As soon as you can!
-[door trills]

-[door trills]
-[Mun-oh sighs]

[mellow jazz playing]

[Mun-oh sighs]

An inciting incident

is never… neutral.

The circumstances…

uh…

will shift the meaning, as will

the characters involved.

Each of your characters
should have their own

personal point of view on it.

[jazz swells]

It's me. Where are you?

[music abates]

Why haven't you called?

You… [sighs] You weren't even in class.

-[girl] Hello, Professor.
-Where are you, anyway?

Call me as soon as you get this.
It's important. Got it?

[mellow jazz continues]

Kim Se-yun.

[music ends]

-Do you…
-Yes, Professor?

I'm…

Could we…

[sighs]

It's okay.

Carry on.

[twangy acoustic guitar music playing]

[man 1] Oh, and if any of you have
any ideas for new, uh,

general education elective courses,
feel free to share them now.

[music continues]

Um… the university administration
has requested

that we add some more
unique general education courses.

[man 2] Department Chair?

[vibrating]

LEE KANG

[music fades]

[vibrating stops]

[Mun-oh] Hmm?

[Kang] I'm sorry, Professor.

I'm calling a bit late, aren't I?

Were you asleep?

It's all right. Go ahead.

[Kang] Are you mad
because I didn't answer your calls?

Finish what you were gonna say.

What happened?

[Kang sighs]

Oh, well, it's a long story.

The call I got yesterday

was from the nursing home.

You know my dad's
in a nursing home, right?

I wrote about it.

Anyway, he wandered off and was lost.

So I'm out of town now.

You've gone away?

Yeah. The home's kind of far.

[footsteps approaching]

[sighs]

I found my dad, thank goodness,
in case you were wondering.

But, uh… he got hurt.

I think I'll have to
stay here for a while.

Okay. What about our… our conversation?

Sorry?

[Mun-oh hesitates]

Uh…

How's your father doing?
Um… will he be all right?

You said, um, that he has dementia.

-Is that right?
-[Kang] Yes, that's right.

You remember.

Sure, I remember. You wrote about it.

I hope he gets well soon. Hmm.

Look. [inhales]

What do you think?
Uh, should we finish our conversation?

Uh… uh…

Or… or you could write it up
and send it instead?

[sighs] Oh, that's right.

I had to leave in a hurry, though,
so my computer's not here.

Oh, um, we can do it on the phone.

Let's just do that.
I have time right now, actually.

No, I can't talk much longer right now.

Okay, then.

I'll borrow the desktop
they have in the nursing home office.

I doubt they're gonna let me
use it any time I want to.

It'll probably take a week.

What… what… A week?!

-[hesitates]
-[man] Lee Kang!

[Kang] I have to go, Professor.
My dad's asking for me.

I'll email you soon.

-Hey, just wait a minute! Lee Kang! Wait!
-[line beeps]

[huffs]

Little b*stard! [tuts]

[sighs]

I have to wait a week?

[sighs]

Jesus. A week?

[car horns honking continuously]

[Mun-oh tuts]

[sighs]

[honking continues]

He says he'll email me soon,
but what does that mean, anyway? Honestly.

That little sh*t. [tuts]

[passing car revs]

-Hey!
-[horn blaring]

What the hell? You stupid b*stard!

Crazy as*h*le, driving around like that.

-Choi Dong-ju.
-[Dong-ju] Here.

-Choi Mi-gyeong.
-[Mi-gyeong] Here.

[cell phone vibrates]

[Kang] Professor, I just sent you
what I have so far.

I tried to transcribe
exactly what Ms. Ahn told me.

Fair warning, some of it is shocking.

[uneasy, dissonant music playing]

-Choi Bo-geom.
-[Bo-geom] Here.

[Mun-oh inhales deeply]

[music fades]

[expectant jazz playing]

Uh…

Sorry, everyone.

I have to cancel today's class.

-[girl 1] Uh…
-I'll cover today's material next class.

-What was that?
-[students murmuring]

-[girl 1] Class is canceled?
-[girl 2] Is he losing his mind?

Hey, let's go to a café and hang out.

[jazz continues]

[girl 3] Oh, Professor!

Hello. When will you be able to give me
the exam questions for the finals?

Professor?

[sighs]

-[girl 4] Hello.
-[girl 5] What's with him lately?

[breathes heavily]

[mouse clicks]

[Eun-joo] Actually,
I've known it for a long time

[scrolling]

…that my husband was cheating on me.

Of course I knew.

[music fades]

However,

I never wanted to question him about it.

My pride just wouldn't allow it.

It would be pointless.

And I was afraid
the kids would've found out.

So I decided it was better to pretend.

So that's what I did.

I endured it.

[inhales shakily]

But…

I was no longer able to hold it together…

[soft, poignant piano music playing]

…when he started doing it in my own home.

[inhales shakily]

[voice breaks] In our own sanctuary,
right where our children live.

[whimpers softly]

Such a disgusting cliché,
sleeping with the maid.

[poignant music continues]

[soundscape fades]

[poignant music obscures background]

[sighs]

[breathes deeply]

[exhales sharply]

[breathing heavily]

[sniffles, sighs]

[breathes deeply]

[poignant music continues]

PREGNANCY TEST KIT

[low, tense music playing]

[thunder rumbling softly]

[music fades]

-[thunder rumbling]
-[scoffs softly]

[door opens]

[door closes]

What are you doing?

I found this in your bag.

Why was it in there?

Why is it…

[thunder rumbling]

[heavy rain pattering]

[laundry basket thuds]

I have no idea!

[dreamy, wistful music playing]

[ethereal, lilting vocals]

[music fades]

[Eun-joo sighs]

Can't sleep? Are you all right?

Want the lights off?

[glumly] No, it's okay.

What's wrong?

Are you still upset about today?

The fight the two of you had?

[huffs] Not sure.

This isn't anything new though.

Min-hui

used to wear my clothes
when she first started.

[scoffs] Not the clothes thing again.

You said you had too many anyway.
Weren't you gonna give some away?

So don't worry about it.

She stole from me.

Should I let her take things?

She denied stealing the scarf.

I went out and confronted her,
and that's what she said.

Is it possible you got confused?

Confused?

So you…

you're taking her side?

It was the last straw.

I had to put an end to it
before Yun found out.

[discordant music playing]

[Min-hui sighs]

Hmm…

Now, what in the world brings you here,

to a nasty neighborhood like this?

Did you come to say sorry?

[Eun-joo sighs softly]

[Min-hui] What's that?

It was in your bag.
You don't recognize it?

I know whose it is. I'm not an idiot.

Whose is it?

Wow.

Okay.

You think this is
your prick of a husband's kid?

What?

Watch your mouth.

Why? I'm gonna be fired anyway.

You don't get to tell me
how to talk here, ma'am.

All right.

I'm here because… I need to know.

What is it that you want?

[laughs]

[laughs]

Come on.

Oh no, you're for real.

That's ridiculous.

[sighs] Crazy lady.

Not surprising, though.

Listen, witch,

I'll say it slow.

This here

has absolutely nothing to do
with your husband.

Do you understand me?

Quite the imagination.

True.

I mean, it would be nice
to snare a rich guy with a kid.

Not with your husband, though.

Why would I have anything to do
with a piece of dog sh*t like him?

Do you really think I'm like the wh*res
he fools around with every chance he gets?

Who is Kim Su-hun?

Respected author and family man?

Don't make me laugh.

[tense music playing]

He's a hypocritical liar,

not to mention
a disgusting, pathetic little thief.

A f*cking loser.

Oh my God. You don't know.

-A thief? What?
-[Min-hui rummages]

-[lighter clicks]
-What's that mean?

[somber, intriguing music playing]

[Eun-joo] What that woman told me
was so shocking.

She told me a secret about my husband
that was worse than I ever imagined.

[music continues]

TO BE CONTINUED..

[scoffs]

Why? Why? Why?

It's always "to be continued"!

[sighs] I can't believe this.

[sighs]

[tuts]

[music fades]

[system beeps]

[front door beeps]

[door trills]

Mun-oh…

tomorrow is Professor Park's
book launch event.

Seong-hui invited me.

Uh-huh.

Professor Park knows I can't go.

You can go, though.

Kim Su-hun is going to attend.

[door closes]

[clock ticking]

[Mun-oh] Okay, so tell me.
What did Kim Su-hun steal?

What theft did he commit, exactly?

[sighs]

Yeah, I know.

I know you're busy
and have a lot going on.

I just need you to tell me that part.

I wouldn't be asking
without a good reason.

Lee Kang?

Lee Kang!

[line disconnects]

Aw, sh*t. No respect. [tuts]

Could…

What if he stole…

Nah. There's no way.

[gentle piano music playing]

I have a sister.

At least, I did.

Most of my family sucks, but we got along.

She died of cancer a year ago.

After the funeral, I found out that

her dream was…

[music turns intriguing]

…to be a writer.

[music continues]

SHOULD I TELL MIN-HUI ABOUT MY DIAGNOSIS?

THE DAY I FINISH THIS NOVEL, I'LL BE CURED

[scoffs softly]

[huffs]

GUESTS AFTER DARK
SEON EUN-HUI

[music abates]

[music fades]

Mom, what is that?

[Min-hui] Hmm?

Oh. Something your aunt wrote.

[inhales deeply]

And I gave her a hard time
for shutting herself away.

Turns out, she was writing.

Well, you must really like it.

I've never seen you
read anything that big before.

[gasps] Honey.

Check it out.

What if I got it published,
turned it into a book, a real one?

-Book?
-It could make us some money.

Enough to pay for
my sweet, smart girl's education,

and even my own hair salon.

That's a lot.

The man that you work for writes books.
How much money does he make?

[plucky, contemplative music playing]

-[plastic rustling noisily nearby]
-[music turns jazzy]

[sighs]

[rustling continues]

[rustling stops]

-[metallic clattering]
-[music ends]

[trash can clattering]

[Min-hui] Um, Mr. Kim, sorry to interrupt.

The manuscript I gave you,
did you read it yet?

What did you think?

Sorry to ask,
but I've been waiting a while now.

What was that?

The manuscript,
the novel I asked you to read?

My sister wrote it herself.

Oh.

That.

I'm sorry.

It's not a good time right now.

I have my own work.
I can't read your sister's rough draft.

[mouse clicking, scrolling]

Ah.

Okay.

And please don't clean in here
when I'm working.

I thought I told you that already.

[mouse clicks]

I'd like to have it back, then, all right?

I'll send it to a publisher,
and see what they say.

I see.

Well, I'll take a look,

when I get a chance.

[Min-hui] It's just that

I gave you the only copy, so…

[soft, suspenseful string music playing]

Is that right?

I'll find it. Don't worry.

[Min-hui] But he never did.

I only found out what really happened
when his book came out.

Hold on.

[music continues]

Oh, what the f*ck is this?

EYES OF THE HOUSE

[music rises, fades]

I'm sure they're not the same.

What specifically is causing concern?

You take me for a fool?

The main character, to start with.

Everything's right here.
There's a woman who is homeless.

She sneaks into a rich couple's house
while they're on vacation and stays there.

You took all of that.

Oh, and this whole chapter,

where they find a body in the fridge,
is word for word.

-That's enough.
-[Min-hui breathes agitatedly]

That's enough.

You're being very offensive.

Now, I don't think you meant to.

I assume you didn't go to college?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Nevertheless, if you keep making
those kinds of accusations,

I'll be forced to take action.

You have no f*cking idea
who you're dealing with!

You think I'm gonna let you
get away with this?

My goodness. So much intensity.

Do you have any evidence
that I stole your sister's work?

-Evidence?
-[Su-hun] Yeah.

Without evidence,
it would be my word against yours.

I do.

I have it.

I have the original file…

[tense music playing]

…of my sister's novel.

[grabbing her arm]

[punchy pop-rock music playing]

[Min-hui] From that day on,
your husband was eating out of my hand.

You tried to make me forget my mind

And then you took all the things away

Released the poison inside your kiss

And pushed your fingers
Against my lips

I don't care about the games you play

You think you're clever
Think you're always gonna have your way

I don't care about the way you feel
'Cause what you don't know is… ♪

[Min-hui] With a single word from me,
his whole life could be blown apart.

A pathetic f*cking loser.

Oh! Ha!

[coughing]

[spluttering chuckle]

Incredible! [laughs]

[exhales] Wow.

Seriously, is this real? Huh?

[chuckles] Look at that.
"Pathetic f*cking loser."

[chuckles]

He's completely insane. That's clear.

Huh?

[music ends]

This is Kim Su-hun's downfall.

"Kim Su-hun the Great."

An esteemed author like you

stealing someone else's novel.

You crazy son of a b*tch.
You f*cking nutjob. You threw it all away.

You can't hide who you are forever. Hmm?

All right, you two-faced liar,

here's an opportunity for us to see

your game face.

-[cell phone chimes]
-[sighs]

[line ringing]

-[line clicks]
-Hey. It's me.

I can go. I can attend.

[indistinct chatter]

Attend what?

[Mun-oh] Professor Park's
book launch, of course.

[sighs] Why, all of a sudden?

[scoffs softly]

So you found out somehow?

[splutters confusedly]

Found out what?
You're not making much sense to me.

[Hyeon-suk] Kim Su-hun's wife,

she'll be there too.

Isn't that why you changed your mind?

Hey, is that a… an… an accusation?

I suggested they invite her.

You did? Why?

Because I was wondering what she's like.

[Mun-oh] Why would you wanna meet Eun-joo?
What are you gonna do?

She's going through a hard time right now.

All right? There's a…
There's a lot going on.

[disconnected tone]

[gasps]

[softly] Uh…

[uneasy, suspenseful music playing]

[murmurs]

[Eun-joo] No. You're lying.

-[music stops]
-I can't believe he'd ever do that.

Do you know how many books
my husband's written?

How could he?

How could he steal
someone else's work like that?

So stupid.

Honey,

do you really think that I'm lying,
or do you wish I was?

That prick…

[unsettling music playing]

…did that.

He nearly k*lled me.

-[inaudible]
-[music continues]

[rain pattering]

[thunder rumbling]

-[dramatic sting]
-[Min-hui choking]

[groans, gasps]

-[grunts]
-[Su-hun breathing heavily]

[Min-hui choking]

-[Su-hun grunts]
-[strained gasping]

[music building]

[music fades]

[Min-hui sighs]

Is it true?

[Min-hui] Is what?

That you have the original file.

Ugh.

Oh, for f*ck's sake.

Don't believe me, then.

I can always put it online.

Wait. Understood.

-[purse clasp clacks]
-I can pay.

[clasp clacks]

[paper shuffles]

[pen scribbling]

[paper tears]

[rustling]

Will this be enough?

If I'd known this was gonna happen,
I would have called you first.

This seems more like it.

He really is… such a tightwad, isn't he?

[inhales]

[sighs]

Bring the file with you on Monday.

I'll pay you in cash then.

[frenetic jazz music playing]

[Min-hui murmurs contentedly]

[discordant music rises]

[frenetic jazz continues]

[humming]

[telephone ringing]

[music abates]

Hello?

What?

-What did you say? Police?
-[music stops]

[Eun-joo] In the end,
she never made it to work…

[gasps]

…because she died on Sunday night.

[intriguing music playing]

And since then,

so much has changed.

Was it really a car accident?

If not,

what really happened?

[frenetic jazz resumes]

[music abates]

I couldn't stand doing nothing.

I had to find out
the truth about her death.

[laughs]

What? A m*rder?

[Eun-joo] I confirmed
it was really an accident

but it didn't make me feel at ease.

-Also, her child.
-A fundraiser?

I think that's a bad idea.

Ah. Hmm. You do?

In principle, it's nice, but…

trying to raise the money
will take too long,

and the funeral should happen soon.

The longer it takes,
the more people will talk.

And the less they talk,
the easier she'll rest.

Don't worry about the money.
We'll cover it.

It's the least we can do.

[uneasy music playing]

You'd do that?

[music stops]

[children chattering indistinctly]

[woman] She's so mature for her age,
it's almost concerning.

She doesn't even cry.

What's going to happen to her now?

Luckily, she still has
a grandmother living in the States.

-She's agreed to take her in two months.
-[relieved sigh]

I'm glad to hear that.

It's great that she has
someone to take her in.

It's true.

Eun-seo's mom would be relieved.

Thanks to someone like you,
we can give her a funeral too.

How did you say you knew her again?

[inhales sharply] Listen.

I'd like to help with her travel costs
with a donation.

I'm in her mother's debt.

This is part of what I owe her.

-[door opens]
-[Eun-seo] Director?

[nun] Mm-hmm? Yes?

I answered all the questions.

[church bell ringing]

[bell ringing ends]

I hear the funeral is tomorrow.

Did you pick out a photo of your mom?

[soft, melancholy music playing]

[Eun-joo sighs] Oh.

[Eun-seo sobs]

[Eun-joo] It's okay. Don't cry. Don't cry.

Oh, sweetie. It's okay.

[chuckles softly]

[sighs]

[Eun-seo sniffles]

You know what? Your mom…

she had something…

Uh… what I mean is,

by any chance, did she have

a special computer file?

A USB?

[tense, intriguing music playing]

[bag unzips]

This one?

[gasps softly]

She said it was our future.

I'm keeping it safe for her.

You know, it wasn't hers.

She was

keeping it for me.

It's mine, okay? [chuckles]

[laughing]

[tense music continues]

[laughter turns to crying]

[Eun-joo] I was just like him.

Just like my husband.

Disgusting and ruthless.

[breathing deeply]

[sniffles]

[tense music continues]

Happy birthday to you

-[tense music continues]
-Happy birthday to you

-[Eun-joo sighs]
-♪ Happy birthday, dear Dad ♪

Happy birthday to you

A WONDERFUL HUSBAND
DEPENDABLE DAD

[tense music continues]

[metallic clatter]

At least it's over now.

Finally done with.

[music obscures background]

-[group clapping]
-[Se-yun] Whoo!

-[Jeong-hu] Happy birthday, Dad.
-[Su-hun] Oh gosh. Thank you, beautiful.

-And thank you. Nice cake, honey.
-[Eun-joo] Mm.

-[Jeong-hu] Aw!
-[Su-hun] My goodness. [chuckles]

[tense music continues]

[Eun-joo chuckles]

TO BE CONTINUED..

[tense music continues]

[sighs]

-[breathing irately]
-[music fades]

How does this make any sense?

It doesn't make any sense. Right?

Look.

[hushed] After finding out
what her husband was up to,

why would she get rid of the evidence
and act like everything was fine?

[Kang] What are you getting mad at me for?
I just wrote what she said.

I'm not even getting mad!

It's frustrating that she's covering
for him because he's her husband.

Christ Almighty!

[Kang] Professor,

are you jealous?

Me? Jealous?

You little sh*t. I'm… I'm hanging up.

-[keypad clacks]
-[disconnect tone]

-Is it okay if we take my car?
-[car beeps]

What is that?
It's practically see-through.

You really dressed up.

You're the one finally wearing a suit.

Guess you wanted
to impress a certain someone?

[groans]

[inhales sharply]

[groaning]

-What's wrong?
-[groans]

It's my stomach.

It started cramping yesterday.

-[breathes shakily]
-[seat belt clacks]

[groans]

Want me to drive?

[sighs]

You should, uh…

stay here and rest, maybe.

What?

You shouldn't ignore cramping like that.

Go lie down.

I can go by myself.

Would you rather I not go?

[grumbles]

Not again.

All I said was
you shouldn't ignore symptoms.

We're not getting any younger.

It's really important to rest
when we're sick. That's all.

-[groans softly]
-[sighs]

[sighs] All right.

Fine. Go by yourself.

[sighs] Go. Go ahead.

If you insist.

Go lie down, okay? Take it easy.

And if it gets any worse,
better go to a hospital.

[car door closes]

[footsteps departing]

[car engine starts]

Oh. [gasps]

[whimpering]

[woman on microphone] Without further ado,
I'm thrilled to introduce Professor Park,

the author of
Designing a Sustainable Future.

Please join me
in welcoming him to the stage.

-Professor Park, everyone!
-[guests applaud]

-[Hyeong-jong] Oh, thank you.
-[applause subsides]

Thank you.

Oh my goodness.
Such a wonderful introduction.

I don't really know what to say.

Thank you so much.

Uh, I didn't expect
so many of you to come,

but thanks for filling up the seats.

You're making me feel
like a best-selling author tonight.

-[chuckles] It's a nice feeling.
-[guests chuckle]

What do you think?
If I work hard, do you think I can do it?

-[chuckles]
-[guests laugh]

Seriously, I'd like to extend…

Oh, you're here.

…my heartfelt gratitude
to my team for their help…

[Seong-hui] Where's Hyeon-suk?

[Hyeong-jong] Many of them
are here tonight.

And again, to all of you
for making the journey to be here to…

They couldn't make it.
Something came up last minute.

…Designing a Sustainable Future.

-Thank you.
-[guests applaud]

[man] Why didn't you tell me?

[poignant piano music playing]

Well, you should have let me know
you haven't been feeling well.

[woman] I didn't want you to worry.

I'm okay now.

Don't worry.

[man] Oh, come on. How can I not worry?

Do you know how scared I was?

Sweetheart, don't get sick anymore, okay?

[woman wearily] Okay.

[poignant music continues]

[monitors beeping in background]

[music continues]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[cell phone vibrates]

[Eun-joo] I thought everything
would be over once I buried that secret,

but it wasn't.

[Eun-joo] Yun, what are you doing?

Come out of there.

-Jeong-hu's leaving.
-[sniffles]

[sobs]

[footsteps approaching]

[knocks on door]

[sighs]

What's wrong, Yun?

Are you not feeling well?

[scoffs] What?

Are you still upset about what happened?

[sighs]

How long are you going to do this?

I can only be so understanding.

Get up, Kim Se-yun!

Now!

Listen to your mother!

[huffs]

We had a funeral for her! It's over now!

How long are you going to
keep acting like a child?

How can you say it's over?!

[breath trembling]

[sobs] You have no idea, Mom.

No idea.

And you know I wish I didn't either.

[Eun-joo] That was when it all started…

[sniffles]

…to come out.

-[tires screech]
-[onlookers screaming]

[woman] Oh no!

[panicked indistinct chattering]

[ominous music playing]

Dear God.

[music abates]

Are you saying you were there?

I saw it happen.

[breath quivers] Everything.

I even saw what Da…

[siren blaring]

[police siren wails]

[onlookers chatter indistinctly]

[man 1] Out of the way, please.
Make some room.

[indistinct chatter]

[somber, intriguing music playing]

[gasps softly]

-[man 1] Please step aside.
-[man 2] She's still unconscious.

-[man 3] She's lost so much blood.
-[man 1] Okay, let's lift her.

One, two, three.

Let's move. Let's get her inside.

[Se-yun] Min-hui

was definitely alive and conscious.

[tense music playing]

-[siren wailing]
-[tense music resumes]

Don't lose that car, please.

[tires screech]

Oh!

Oh, gimme a break. Oh no.

What happened? She was conscious
when she arrived, wasn't she?

Yes, she was.
I was only gone a few seconds--

[doctor 1] Ugh! Code Blue!
Check her airway!

[doctor 2] Yes, Doctor.

[breathes anxiously]

Code: Select all


-[doctor 1] Get the defibrillator ready!
-[nurse] Yes, Doctor.

-[flatline beep]
-Still no pulse. She's in cardiac arrest!

Start compressions now!

[doctor 2] Starting compressions now.

[soundscape fades]

-[flatline beep continues]
-[inaudible chatter]

[beep fades]

[tense, intriguing music playing]

[doctor 1] Epinephrine
every three minutes.

[nurse 1] Yes, Doctor.

-[doctor 1] Intubate after ROSC.
-[nurse 2] Defibrillator ready.

[panting]

[engine revving]

[intriguing music continues]

[Se-yun gasps softly]

[breathing heavily]

[music continues]

You k*lled…

k*lled her at the hospital

with your own two hands?

[breathes agitatedly]

-[music fades]
-[sobs] I can't, Yun.

[sobs]

That's not true.

What if it wasn't even your dad you saw?

No, Mom! It was his car!
It was him! I know it!

[both sob]

Dad did something to her.

[exhales sharply]

[crying]

Oh no. My baby.

[somber music playing]

I wanted to protect you.

[crying]

[sobs subside]

[sniffles]

Mom…

how did you…

[poignant piano music playing]

How long have you known?

[inhales shakily]

Yun,

what's important now
is finding out the truth.

[breathes shakily]

Stop crying now and listen to me.

We have to find out what really happened.

And now

we can do it together.

How?

[poignant music continues]

Would you guys like to go out,
get some ice cream or catch a movie?

We have ice cream.

Or we could go for a drive.

-[sighs]
-It's such a lovely night.

I thought it would be fun
to have some fun, enjoy the evening.

I can't. I already have a work thing.

I forgot to mention it.

[Eun-joo breathes anxiously]

You go to the hospital,
and I'll go to the park.

Assuming he shows up,

I'll confront him about everything.

While I do that,
you have to find evidence.

Check the security camera footage.

Got it?

[Eun-joo sighs]

[music fades]

[suspenseful music building]

[tense music playing]

[tense music abates]

[low, suspenseful music playing]

[cell phone ringing in distance]

[Su-hun] Hi, Jeong-hu.
It's late. Everything okay?

Huh?

"Yun knows everything"?

What?

Jeong-hu,

I have no idea
what you're talking about, honey.

I'll come over.

We can talk properly.

[tense music resumes]

[engine revs]

[music abates]

[Eun-joo panting]

[cell phone vibrating]

[vibrating stops]

[pants] Hello, Yun.

How did it go? Did you check the footage?

[gasps]

[breathes shakily]

[somber piano music playing]

[disconnect tone]

[Kang] Se-yun?

[Eun-joo] [i]Yun was crying.[/i]

He checked the security footage.

[music continues]

It didn't show what happened,
though, because of a curtain.

[sobs softly] So that's it.
I don't know what to do.

[sniffles]

That was the only evidence
I could think of

that would've forced him to confess.

[voice breaks] This is all my fault.

If only I'd held onto that file.

[sobs softly]

I'm afraid to go home.
How will I face him again?

[sobbing]

I'm so scared of him now.

[breathes shakily]

What do I do?

[music intensifies]

[weeping] How do I go on living?

[Mun-oh exhales shakily]

Eun-joo…

it's okay.

I'll help you.

I'm here for you.

[inhales hesitantly]

[sighs]

I'll figure it out.

[insects chirping]

[despondent music swells]

[chirping intensifies]

[chirping halts]

[cell phone vibrating]

MR. HEO MUN-OH

[vibrating]

[despondent music continues]

[grunts softly]

[vibrating stops]

Lee Kang,

listen to me.

We can do it.

We can make the proof we need.

[low, suspenseful music playing]

-Wait. What do you mean?
-[Mun-oh] [i]Just listen, you little sh*t![/i]

[Mun-oh sighs]

Listen up.

After you witnessed Min-hui get hit,

you followed Kim Su-hun
to the hospital, okay?

You went to the hospital too that night.

[i]Got it?[/i]

What?

When you got there,

you saw him strangle her.

[suspenseful music building slowly]

[music swells]

[music abates]

[discordant music rising]

[sinister, dramatic music playing]

You saw him m*rder her
with your own two eyes.

Do you understand?

[Kang] [i]Professor.[/i]

That's the end you want…

for your assignment.

[music building steadily]
