HYPNOTIZED

"The season is unclear,

time is passing slowly..."

"The sea is silent"

"On a gleaming yacht,

a man in working clothes..."

"...watches a woman on the shore, fluttering



like a scarf in the breeze"

"She basks in his bright smile"

What's his name?

What's her name?

It'll probably come to me later

Let's leave it for now

"The woman looks back"

"The man on the back deck of the yacht

is reading a book"

"His face is a blank"

"He's forgotten her...

... he's just amusing himself'

"It snows endlessly"

"The red numbers on the board..."



"Now she smiles at him
and it occurs to her..."

"...that love

... could come out of the blue
at a moment like this"

"One day, the man asks her..."

"...if she'll leave with him"

"It's time for me
to leave the sea"

"She finally...

... smiles at him"

"it...

... snows...

... endlessly"

"The red numbers on the board...

... change constantly, in a blur"

But where was this happening?

Where did it snow non-stop?

Jisu

Jisu

Ativan, 4mg IM, instead of Valium!

Quiet... don't worry...

I'll see you again

when you've had some sleep

Now, close your eyes...

One...

two...

three...

We'll monitor her carefully, of course...

Our provisional diagnosis is...

...Borderline Personality Disorder

We usually call it...

...'BPD' for short

May I smoke?

How is your relationship with your wife?

There's no real problem

'BPD' usually follows rejection,

or the fear of rejection

In the worst cases...

...the patient can regress
into schizophrenia

She's showing the typical symptoms of 'BPD'

When did you realize there was a problem?

On my first birthday party after we married...

...she told everyone...

...that she was going to
write a novel every month

After that, she locked herself in her room
and started writing like crazy

One day I got a call from her editor

He wanted to meet me

He said she was really bugging him

She was turning up
at his office without warning

And she threatened him on the phone

He ended the call by saying...

... I should get her to see a psychiatrist

Jisu, if it was any good
I'd publish it!

But there's no way!

You publish rubbish all the time!

Why do you...

...always reject mine?

Watch the yen, it may go still higher

Not a chance,

buy euros!

It's on your head!

- We definitely get out of the yen?
- Just do what I said!

I'm a foreign-exchange dealer

It's very stressful

I didn't have enough time for my wife

One day she called me at work

She was holding a party that evening
to celebrate finishing her novel

She'd invited everyone

But no-one came

She did many things on impulse

I begin to realize that
was a real problem

Jisu!

Honey, It's me

I can't sleep, and melatonin isn't helping

I don't know how the days are going by

Could you play my CD?

How long is it since we saw each other?

I miss you a lot...

And I want to ask you...

Have you rejected me too?

No answer?

Then it's okay!

I figure if you don't answer me
that means you still love me

Yes! You won't reject me...

No!

I'm rejected...

So...

...you slit your wrist because of your mother?

Doctor, you can't believe it was that simple!

My stepfather...

...comes to my bed, every night

It's disgusting...

...more disgusting than you can imagine

But you know what?

I like doing it with that jerk

Waiting for him night after night,

shuddering...

...it makes me feel as if I'm an animal

Lee Suyeon

She claims her father sexually abuses her

But I can't yet judge if it's true

Yu Jisu...

She looks great

She's close to 'BPD' HY

She's the one I'm most worried about

Please pay special attention to her

Are you really quitting the post?

How did the chief react?

"Sort out something for the hypnosis class...

...before you go"

Yes

He'll have trouble running
that class without you

Tough, but I can't go on here

Well

The patient died today

Who?

The brain-dead man

It's as if getting you and your wife
to quit your jobs...

...was the only thing that kept him alive

You surely don't believe what Suyeon says?

She calls him her stepfather?

She really is our daughter

If this goes on
my husband will end up needing treatment

We should've moved her
to another school as she wished

A father who
slept with his own daughter...

...would be no better than an animal

- It would be better if I was dead
- Shut up! Get a grip!

Get a grip!

Stop talking nonsense

We should've moved her
to another school.

His stupid wife worked here too...

It's his fault that she died...

You don't believe me, do you?

But it's an open secret

That idiot doctor probably believes...

...what they tell him sobbing that
I'm their real daughter

It's all bullshit

You have to believe me!

Suyeon!

This cell phone...

I don't need it anymore

You can have it

It's all over...

Doctor

Your last patient is still waiting

Another doctor will take care
of you from tomorrow

Don't worry, he's a better doctor than I am

Jisu

But even the best doctor...

...in the world can't help you
if you don't speak

- Doctor...
- Yes? Go on...

Am I locked up here?

No

You're free to go whenever you want

I want to go home

Then please promise me that...

...when you've left here...

...you'll go on with the treatment

Good-bye

Doctor!

You're late

Jisu's not in her room! Where is she?

She was there just now...

ONE YEAR LATER

What a great clinic!

All you need now is a good wife

What do you want me to do?

I've had no problem with this card before

Try it again!

It's no good, the card has been blocked

Please, other customers are waiting

Can't you pay cash?

This is ridiculous! Try it again!

I've tried it three times already

If you can't pay cash, please return
the goods to the shelves

I'll pay!

You'll just have to wait for a minute

You aren't answering?

It's my wife

I know it is, but take her call!

The phone gets on my nerves

Minseok! You can't do this to me!

You can't get her out of your head

Can you?

Are you...

...thinking of her when we make love?

I'll ask you again

How long do we have to
go on like this?

What do you want me to do?

Where did you park?

Yes... Thank you for your help

Have we...

...met before?

I'm not sure

Then...

Why did you help me?

Well... just...

You must be well off

paying bills for someone you don't even know

Don't you recall...

I'll transfer the money to your account tomorrow

You're going to leave me too

What do you mean?

I'm here, aren't I?

I'm sorry I blocked the credit card

I'll have it reactivated

When people get to know me
they always leave me...

And then they all forget me

I'm so tired... Let's get some sleep

Let's divorce

We just hurt each other

I want a divorce

Whatever you want...

You must be a lonely man

All of your pictures are so empty

Don't you mind letting your patients
see into your mind like this?

If that's what you think...

Your wife looks beautiful

Oh yea?

She'll be happy to hear that

I've seen a clock like that before...

Is there something you want to tell me?

I'm not your patient!

I transferred the money, you can check

We have met before

How did you come up with this?

Most people who come to see me are depressed

Sometimes...

...I don't even know...

...who I am

I thought you called me
because you wanted to meet for a drink

Actually, you just want to see the files

Sorry, I can't let you

Patient confidentiality, you know

Since when have you followed
the rules so obediently?

I wrote them in the first place
what's the problem?

A woman?

What are you up to?

What are you doing?

That's Suyeon, she was your patient

The man was her real father

But I don't know about the rest of the story...

People are so complicated!

Don't stare at her!
It'll only upset you

I forgot my ID card number

My e-mail password...

Even the entry-code for my apartment building

I can't...

Sometimes I spend the whole
night wandering the streets

Why is this happening to me?

Cats and dogs don't speak!

Why...

...do people talk so much?

Doctor

I hate the whole human race!

We're in the same class, she and me

Her name is Lee Sunjoo

I just wanted to get her attention

So I took photos of her and
sent them to her...

Since then, I haven't been able to sleep

From her point of view...

It's true that it was very late at night...

...when I gave her the photos

But that can't be why she rejects me

Who is that?

My husband has a mistress

I'm thinking of divorcing him...

...and not just because of this woman

Tell me about yourself

Stop sounding like a shrink!

I'm not in a good mood

Tell me about yourself first

How do you get on...

...with your wife?

She's in the States right now

Working as...

...a resident anesthetist

Virtually separated, then?

Sort of

I spent some time with her there after
I quit the hospital job

I drove her around

Tried to be a proper husband for a change

We don't have any children

Boring story, right?

I have...

...a lot of stories to tell

My wife wants a divorce

She got in first, then

What did you tell her?

I agreed

So everything's working out

Isn't it?

Does she know about me?

I don't think so

Then why does she want the divorce?

And...

why are you in such a bad mood?

Does it...

...make you feel guilty?

- Haeyoung...
- I'm listening...

I can't leave her...

I'm sorry

We'd better stop seeing each other

Bastard! Now you're getting in first

- What is it?
- Can't you see her?

I see them sometimes

It used to scare me...

...but now I take them for granted

She looks so sad

Who?

The woman...

...walking with us

We were twins

We looked exactly like each other...

... but our personalities were opposites

One day it struck me...

What if...

... she disappeared?

Hurry up!

I was so nervous

I forgot which glass
was poisoned

As I slowly drank the milk...

I thought...

... one of us...

... should disappear from this world

So, which of you died?

My sister!

She vomited milk...

Stop lying

Telling lies for fun is also
a kind of sickness

Sickness?

Don't use such words with me!

Don't forget

I'm not your patient!

You never went back to the hospital, did you?

So you've finally recognized me!

Sorry

You've changed a lot

Jisu, you may need help...

That's why you come to see me, isn't it?

If telling a lie makes me a patient
then what about you?

Your wife's at Johns Hopkins?

Fine

then you'll be very happy
when she comes back

"She's on the run
from her salvation"

"Like the glow of your eyes..."

"...in the windy night"

"I can see you..."

"...in the endless dark..."

"...tired and afraid"

"Would my smile..."

"...make you come?"

"Would my words..."

"...make you come?"

My wife...

was an anesthetist in the same hospital

There was one hyper-sensitive patient...

It wasn't exactly my wife's mistake...

but the patient...

never woke up after surgery

I may be a psychiatrist

But I'm also an ordinary husband

What's the matter with you?

I told you not to do this

Are you crazy?
Do you want to die?

Go ahead
Kill yourself

She made me angry...

... irritated me

By the way...

... she had a lover

He kept on calling her number

I listened, but never said anything

It was my revenge on him

How long is it since we saw each other?

I miss you a lot

It was all my fault that she died

If I'd been more sensitive...

... she wouldn't have gone like that

You go by yourself

You've changed your mind again?

Maybe...

What do you really want?

Your mood is constantly changing

I get so nervous...

But they're all friends!

Not my friends

The way...

...they stare at me...

I don't like it.

Stare at you?

Please try to get a grip!

I'm sick and tired of your vacillations

Sorry

I had no one else to call

It's alright, Jisu

See you tomorrow!

Another round of the Lying Game?

You find it difficult?

I can't...

Jisu

you have to relive the memory to deal with it

It's all past anyway

Before I got married

I loved a man...

Han Jangseo...

A man named Han Jangseo...

I can't...
I can't remember

Look up and focus

Now, Jisu

slowly close your eyes...

Relax...

You're standing...

... in front of the gate of...

... your saddest memory

Now, reach out with your hand

Open the gate

Now slowly

very slowly

go inside

He kisses me

Soft and...

...warm

Yoonsu

Why don't you take over my clinic?

I don't think I'm up to running it

You're crazy

Only just noticed?

I've always been crazy!

Yoonsu...

I saw my wife

What are you talking about?

Maybe I am crazy...

...but I really saw her

I'm telling you the truth

She was there...

...with an armful of flowers

One day...

... my lover tells me...

... that I should go back to where I was

Go back

and start writing...

... so I can read whenever I want to see him

My love is leaving me...

... as if he is a wind

I'm crying

How can he leave like that?

Without another word...

Did I cry?

It's always hard...

...to bring up painful memories

I must go

Actually, I had a row with my husband

If I'm late, he'll be worried

I'll drive you

I'll take a taxi

Jisu...

Call me if you ever want company for dinner

Doctors can't fall in love with their patients

But that principle has no meaning...

...when it's already happened

Not just a patient, a married woman!

How could you go so far?

She plans to divorce her husband

So you're even considering marriage?

I can't live without her now

She was willing to sleep with you?

Don't tell me you...

She's so different when she's not hypnotized
So it's hard for me

- Seokwon!
- I want to find out for sure!

What?

Whether she loves me or not...

...when she's not under hypnosis

Keep to the speed limit

How much are we down?

Two mil...

The chief will kill us

Hey, Minseok!

Do you hear me?

We're two million dollars down!

Pull yourself together!

Minseok, say something!

This is on your watch
don't drag us into it too

Shit, I can't stand this!

I'm moving to another team

No, there's too much damage

I know there's a problem with your wife...

...but you can't work like this

I'll make it good

I've tried to cover for you

But you've picked up
a bad reputation in the firm

What's the key thing in this line of work?

Focus! Lose it, and it's all over

Solve your domestic problems first
then maybe we can work together again

You'd better go

Call me, I'll stand you a drink

Are you really going to divorce your husband?

As soon as we decided to separate

he became more possessive

I feel so sorry for him

Because of me, he's had a hard time

"Rooms by the hour"

Not very subtle!

You want to sleep with me?

Sorry

Let's forget about it

Something...

...about the smell of your body...

...reminds me of someone I'm missing

I don't know why

When I'm in bed...

...I sometimes think of you

But I don't think
we should be doing this

I'm leaving now

Darling, today at work...

Yes

They paid me a bonus
Let's use it for a vacation

Guess where I'd like to go!

- If you're right I'll go with you
- New Zealand!

You've told me before

Wrong answer! You'll have to go alone

How do you sleep?

I need sleeping pills

Why did you buy a new camera?

Sunjoo is avoiding me

So I'm trying to get better photos of her

I know you think I'm stalking her

But I know what I'm doing

All I want is for Sunjoo
to acknowledge me

What I can't stand is...

...when she looks away from me

That drives me crazy!

Where were we?

You told me...

...he left for New Zealand

Then I have more lies to tell you

Seokwon...

We haven't known each other long

But we've been good friends, haven't we?

I hesitated...

But...

...friends can't part
without saying goodbye

This is the last time I'll see you

Smoking heavily, drinking heavily...

Pregnant with his babies...

Twins, born two months premature...

After their cremations...

... buying two canaries

Mixing ashes from my babies into their bird food

Praying to heaven every night...

... that he should die

I can't bear knowing...

... that he's still alive...

... under the same sky as me

I wish...

... the untamed waves would...

... pound his body...

I wish his blood were sprinkled over white snow...

I pray and pray...

Heaven grants my wish

My dreadful curse brings his death

I write like a madwoman

to earn forgiveness

But...

But can this ever be enough?

He is...

He is...

...already dead anyway

As soon as we arrive in Paris,

let's find the hottest nightclub in town...

...and open a noodle restaurant
right opposite!

There's nowhere to eat late at night

We'll charge $9 for a bowl

They'll be ravenous after dancing!

Enough nonsense, go and change some money

Alright

You stay right here

Don't make me search for you again

Jisu!

Jisu!

Jisu!

I send you...

...eight red rosebuds

And one white bud...

...in amongst them

Now you...

...come to me...

...with nine rosebuds

What are you doing there in the dark?

So...

You were waiting for her?

You told me she said goodbye to you

All I have to do is call her at 8...

...and she's with me by 9

But...

She doesn't come to me anymore

She's gone!

Yoonsu

Help me...

Jisu...

I have to find her

Jisu, it's me...

Please answer me!

Did you forget your promise?

You...

... bring me eight red rosebuds

Amongst them...

... one white bud

You...

... come to me...

... with nine rosebuds

You look terrible!

Just one more jobless man

You never called me, not even once

Sorry

The chief wants to rehire you

He mentioned it at today's meeting

Tell him I had enough last time

He fired me without a backward glance

Don't be silly

He said he'd call you

Listen to this

You...

... come to me...

... with eight red rosebuds

Amongst them...

... one white bud

I think my wife had an affair with him

He keeps on calling, like a madman

Maybe...

...he feels rejected

He's been ringing for a month,

but I've never said a word to him

Let him stew in his own pain

Minseok

you look so strange

Are you really the Minseok I knew?

Do you have a light?

It's not good...

...to drink alone

it looks so lonely

How have you been?

Not so great

Your face seems very pale

Really?

I've been unhappy for a long time

because of you

Didn't you know...

...how much I've missed you?

That's why I came

Too late!

You've...

...really made me suffer

It was you...

...who sent me on a long journey

I hesitated for a long time before
coming back...

However...

I couldn't find you...

...anywhere in Seoul

Is he a regular here?

It's his first time...

How's he going to get home?

He's far gone

It's been too long!

You don't look too good

Are you okay?

Keep taking exercise and
minding your health

Recently, our members have had a lot of bad luck

So take good care

Did you hear what happened to Yu Jisu?

She was run over by a truck

somewhere near the airport

She died instantly

It took them two days...

... just to find her limbs

Some parts of her body...

... were never recovered

We had to bury her...

... incomplete

This cell phone...

I have no need of this...

You take it

It's all over now

- The End -
