Becoming Witch (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - Episode #1.3 - full transcript
Police.
Open up.
Help.
Help.
I hear something.
Are you okay?
We have an emergency.
Unidentified woman
with abdominal bleeding.
Send a medic right away. I repeat…
Mother.
How do you want me to kill you?
-What do we have?
-Abdominal bleeding.
She won't let us treat her.
What the…
No, don't!
No, you can't. Please don't.
Enough! Do you wish to bleed to death?
Let's continue.
Unbelievable.
The stitches have popped open.
Miss, which quack surgeon did this to you?
You had lipo done, right?
This isn't bad enough to kill you.
Hold on a second. I'll suture you back up.
Shit. This is humiliating.
Where is one supposed to sleep
on a night like this?
Is she asleep?
Jeez. They haven't gone home yet?
Where did the old hag go
at this hour, anyway?
-We're calling it a night.
-Let's just go.
Excuse me. Over here!
I'm Lee Nak-gu's wife.
-What?
-Lee Nak-gu's wife.
Are you saying you won't be divorcing him?
That's right.
I am not
going to divorce him.
Never.
Ever!
Never!
Why won't you divorce your husband
who had an affair?
Because
I love my husband
Lee Nak-gu…
until death…
do us part.
Right.
Please remember to blur out my face.
THE CHEATER'S DEVOTED WIFE
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE
WON'T DIVORCE HER HUSBAND
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE,
"I WILL NOT DIVORCE HIM"
As if you were out on a mission
talking to the press at night!
Is it a trend for first wives
not to agree to divorces?
Hit the shower. Let's have breakfast.
Damn it.
Gosh, that's nice.
What the hell?
Three moments of patience
may suppress the urge to kill.
Calm yourself down.
Damn it, it's not working.
Let's try that again.
Calm yourself down.
What…
What? What is it?
It's nothing.
Breakfast is ready.
Has she lost her mind?
Unbelievable.
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE, "I LOVE MY HUSBAND"
What are you up to, woman?
This was all a show, wasn't it?
Ta-da.
Fine. I get it, all right?
I see where you're coming from,
but this will change nothing.
Stop wasting both our energy
and tell me what you want.
Your life.
What?
Your "love," of course.
I love you.
If not anything else,
I'd at least like to
host your funeral for you.
Then I'll follow you to the afterlife
three days later.
You agreed to the divorce.
You said it yourself!
I know, but this has been
an enlightening experience.
I learned…
that I still love you dearly.
I love you.
Shit.
That gave me the creeps.
Woman…
I mean, Ma-ri.
At times like this, one must be rational.
Being emotional will do you no good.
It's her I love, not you.
That's the truth.
Do you know
why adulterers are frowned upon?
Because they trample
on other people's happiness
to be happy themselves.
Trampling over other people's happiness
is the same as inconveniencing others.
You should start over
and find your own happiness, too.
It's not unreachable, you know.
You know, the bluebird of happiness
eventually found its own home.
Meanwhile, your bluebird…
lives across from us.
How did you know?
Do you like her that much?
That much to leave Su-ji and me?
Yes. I love her to the moon and back.
Fine. Just die, then.
Eat up, Nak-gu.
It could be your last feast.
Why? Has this been poisoned?
What the…
You witch!
Fresh, aren't they?
I hear they're in season.
Where's my medicine?
Where is it?
-Where…
-Looking for this?
Give that back right now!
You…
ALLERGY RELIEF
Give it here while I ask nicely.
Seriously? That could actually hurt me.
I might die from my allergies any second,
so who cares?
-Don't.
-Get over here.
This will at least be attempted murder.
Likewise.
I won't ask you again. Drop it.
You drop it!
Fine. We'll put them down
at the same time.
Okay, let's play it fair.
All right.
-One.
-One.
-Two.
-Two.
Three…
-I knew it, you dirty bastard.
-Damn!
As if you're better. Give it here!
Give it back!
You…
I'll divorce you no matter what,
even if that costs me my life.
No matter…
what!
And I'd rather die
than give you a divorce.
There will be no divorce! Never!
There you go, Mother.
Your son's the best.
Isn't he?
He travels the distance
at least once a week to see you.
I bet you didn't know
that your son…
hadn't been the best husband lately.
You…
You little thief.
Mother?
You tried to kill me!
I know what you're up to!
Mother, please.
Would you rather die?
Is that why you're doing this?
Yes, of course.
Really? That's great.
Yes, of course. Whenever they want.
Yes, I see.
Right, star 2580 star.
That's right. Sure thing. Bye.
Damn it.
Just you wait and see, woman.
My belly's killing me.
Hey, Unit 301.
I heard you had liposuction.
I almost resented my parents
for not giving me a figure like yours.
Maybe I should get it done too.
Unit 301, where did you get it done?
Make me an introduction.
Ladies, I see you were bored.
Maybe some other time.
When I actually have time.
Maybe I should get it done too.
We might get a group discount.
This is humiliating. Damn it.
What's with them?
Shit.
That was humiliating.
Damn it.
Absolutely humiliating.
No. No way.
I lost too much blood last night.
That must be why I'm seeing things.
The Squirrel.
Ladies!
-The Squirrel.
-What?
The Squirrel!
Where?
-My gosh.
-There.
-Get him.
-After him!
-My gosh.
-There!
-Stop him.
-Don't!
Not so fast.
No, don't you dare.
You darn Squirrel!
-What the…
-Nice!
Darn pervert!
Why you…
Let's see that face of yours.
Who is he?
What?
-You bastard!
-What?
-Wait.
-Don't!
Do you find this entertaining?
I'm pissed off as it is,
so don't add fuel to the flame.
I'm worried about you, that's all.
But they say that the new girlfriend
will always toss out the current one.
Are you trying to piss me off even more?
No, I'm just saying…
Well, you did good.
Good for you.
That's how marriages are anyway.
An affair really isn't a big deal.
Is that all you have to say?
A bomb went off in my life! Unbelievable.
What I'm saying is that
you should hold it out.
Hold your ground.
What can they do
when you won't give him a divorce?
I get it, Mom. I'm hanging up.
Hold on. Should I teach her a lesson?
You know where she lives, right?
This isn't some trashy B-movie, Mom.
Stay out of it, okay?
Your naive ways will bite you in the ass.
It's not like you could ever
marry a man like Nak-gu again.
Handsome, competent, and privileged--
Hang up if you're done pissing me off.
Hold on. Do you have
some money stashed away?
Did you get into trouble again?
No, it's not like that.
I seem to be in need of Botox shots.
These one-dollar face masks
aren't doing anything for me.
I asked around. The one from Germany
costs 100,000 won for three shots--
Even after 60 years,
my mom is still like a teenager,
but I can't swap her for a new one.
Because you can't swap out family.
However, there's one family member
who is an exception to that rule.
The only family member
who isn't related by blood.
Your spouse.
It's this way.
Please put on these slippers.
I'm so glad you could make it.
My gosh!
Who are you?
Oh, right.
He said the housekeeper could be home.
I'm the realtor.
The homeowner probably told you.
You must have the wrong unit.
This is unit 904.
Yes, unit 904.
The door lock passcode, star 2580 star.
How do you know that?
Because the owner of the house
told me, that's how.
Excuse us, then. This way, please.
It'll be spotless
with a little bit of cleaning.
It has been renovated, you see.
It was done
when the previous owner first moved in.
When will we be able to move in?
According to the owner, any time you like.
Any date you decide on will be fine.
The price is lower than the market rate
with it being an urgent sale.
It's on one of the best floors, too.
Hold on.
-Was this house put on the market?
-Yes. Why do you ask?
By whom?
The owner.
You're throwing the first punch,
is that it?
Sorry?
It's nothing.
You must be getting married.
-Right.
-Yes, the wedding's next month.
Gosh, I see. Congratulations.
Anyway, the unit may seem grand,
but bad energy flows beneath it.
See for yourselves.
The owners clearly fought this morning.
Will you be okay with that?
My gosh, what does that have to do
with the energy of this place?
Marital spouts are like slashing at water.
Like slashing at water?
That's up for debate.
What?
Wait, there's more.
My gosh.
Over here.
The place has one heck of a view.
See what I mean? You can see
into the unit across from here.
You'll get to see women
running around in just their underwear.
Will you be okay with that?
Look here, lady!
I'm not the housekeeper.
There must be a misunderstanding.
This house isn't for sale.
While renovating this unit,
I searched for materials,
fought with the contractors,
and kissed their asses.
My blood, sweat, and tears
went into this place.
No way will I sell it!
My gosh, are you the lady of the house?
Yes.
I'm afraid I am.
My goodness!
And here I thought
you were some nosy housekeeper.
Are you sure you're not interested
in selling this unit though?
I'm sure.
I'll be living in this house
for thousands of years!
Gosh.
It's just that your husband
desperately requested
that I find a buyer for him.
Is that so?
Well, it's his right
since we both own the place.
Goodness.
My gosh.
So tell me. How would you like it served?
Should I cut it in half like so?
Or down the middle like this?
-She must be insane.
-My gosh!
Right down the middle!
Marital spouts are not like
slashing at water.
When water freezes over,
blades will leave a gash.
You're all done.
You know you're allergic to shellfish.
You should be more careful.
Gosh.
I'm always careful, you know.
6 MISSED CALLS: DIRECTOR JUNG YEONG-HA
Hand in your resignation!
My resignation?
My resignation?
You've got to be kidding me.
You first put me on a pedestal,
and now this?
It's your fault for letting
your affair get out.
Why take it upon yourself
to gabble in front of the reporters?
Damn it.
This is the 21st century
and adultery isn't punishable by law.
Rather than having innovative values,
people remain old-fashioned.
NEWSROOM DIRECTOR JUNG YEONG-HA
We have our viewers to think about,
you punk.
In the people's eyes,
you're nothing but a bastard
who stepped out on his wife.
Okay, fine. It's all my fault.
I was born ahead of my time
and should've slowed down in life.
If I could, I'd smack you silly.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, your replacement
has already been cast,
so step down quietly as the host.
I'll try to wrap this up
with a two-month pay cut.
Wait. What did you just say?
You're cutting me from my own show?
-What did I do wrong?
-It's nothing to be proud of!
I wasn't going to say this
since it's a cliché, but--
-Then don't.
-Shit!
It's not a sin to fall in love!
Then live in a jungle
like an animal. Why don't you?
HUI-SU
-Is nowhere to be seen
-Is nowhere to be seen
-Through the gap along the west sky
-Through the gap along the west sky
-Wind comes blowing in
-Wind comes blowing in
-Scent of fallen flowers brings tears
-Scent of fallen flowers brings tears
Keep going!
-I must go
-I must go
Here you go, Mr. Nam.
Bottoms up!
Nice!
Mr. Nam, don't just sit there.
Sing with us.
-Come on.
-Join us.
-Here you go.
-Come on!
HUI-SU
Please leave it by the door. Thanks!
What now?
This isn't a delivery. I'm--
Sorry, but I believe in Buddhism.
Look here, I'm Lee Nak-gu's wife.
My gosh, Ma-ri!
Come on in.
Let's see. All right.
Ma-ri, here you go.
I just poured the hot water.
Would you like some?
I'm good.
Please address me casually.
I'm way younger than you, you know.
Since things are already a mess,
I won't beat around the bush.
You're a married woman yourself,
so why would you have an affair
with a married man
who's also a father?
Wait, that guy? He's not my husband.
We only lived together briefly.
All the men I've been with were jerks
which is why I was so jealous of you.
You got to marry a nice guy like Mr. Lee.
Hey!
Do you really
like Lee Nak-gu?
Yes, he's gentle and considerate.
Smart, funny,
humble, and down-to-earth.
When I'm with him,
I always feel reassured.
So? Is it your plan
to marry him once we're divorced?
My gosh, Ma-ri. You must've gotten
the wrong idea. I'm on your side.
-What?
-Please don't get divorced.
Marriage isn't something
I'm interested in.
So please stay as his legal wife.
Mr. Lee's love is more than enough for me.
What the…
What a nutcase.
Ma-ri, truth be told,
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
I quite like you, you see.
I thought you'd drag me by the hair
and douse me in water.
Mr. Lee sure has good taste in people.
It dawned on me the day I met him.
It was pouring that day.
You must not want to hear this.
So? What happened on that rainy day?
Should I continue?
If you want.
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me,
accusing me of having an affair.
I had no other choice but to run.
Please…
She was shuddering
like a sparrow caught in the rain.
That poor little bluebird
bounced into my arms…
I knew I had to look after her.
When did you become a bird-lover?
It's like a scene from a movie.
The last romantic on earth
is right in front of us.
Finally, I found someone who gets it.
You're not like the other
old-fashioned boomers in our department.
What's that?
This? Oh, it's garbage.
How can you be laughing when you're
being called the nation's adulterer?
You're clueless, aren't you?
I was only given that nickname
because I'm the nation's anchor.
I'll have to consider it as publicity.
A top celebrity has no time
to be fazed by hate comments.
But you wouldn't know about that.
Why you…
I bet it was you.
-What?
-I know you've been after my spot.
You must've snagged it
thinking of it as a golden opportunity.
It wasn't me!
Where's your professional courtesy?
That's wrong, you know.
-Sang-do, what do you think about this?
-Sorry?
Sang-do, did you read the script?
Stop right there.
Let me see that.
THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH PARK SANG-DO
Seriously?
"A dive into current affairs."
"Not with Lee Nak-gu,
but with Park Sang-do."
Nak-gu,
don't get the wrong idea.
I was just following orders.
Was it you who snagged my spot?
Just like a hyena.
A hyena that feeds on food
left by other animals.
Is this a jungle?
Unbelievable.
BLUEBIRD
If it weren't for my Bluebird,
you'd be dead meat by now.
Ma-ri, until next time. Bye!
Mister!
Gosh, I haven't seen you
around here these days.
Were you perhaps ill?
What?
Gosh, no. Why do you ask?
I kind of missed you, you see.
I wonder why.
Would you like your coffee?
Sure.
My love for you astonishes me…
What?
My gosh. Isn't this…
Do you know this song?
Yes, it was once sung by someone I know.
It's as if I've been reborn
Everything about me has changed
Upon meeting you, I became a new man
It amazes my mother the most
This is an oldie though.
It's trending online at the moment.
Apparently, the Squirrel
plays it at the crime scenes.
My gosh. Really?
Don't be ridiculous.
You're talking about reincarnation.
He isn't Jesus.
Right? It's completely absurd.
Then what is it that I saw?
Could he be possessed
by the spirit of your husband
who wishes to be with you?
Stop it.
Has talking about Woo-bin
made you quiet all of a sudden?
Are you still bitter?
Dig up his grave if that's how you feel.
Hey, that sounds like a solution.
Well…
I don't know where it is.
What? How can you not know
where your husband is buried?
Are you kidding me?
No, that's not it.
It's like this.
One day, I got a call from the police.
He rented a boat to go fishing,
but the boat came back empty.
KIM WOO-BIN
Woo-bin.
Woo-bin!
Should I take out
a few more life insurances on Nak-gu?
Why? Are you going to kill him?
All people end up dying, you know.
The issue is "when."
Earlier in life or later.
Don't get blood on your hands
and just keep him by your side.
That's the best revenge ever.
Make his life miserable
to the point that he wishes he were dead.
That's inhumane considering
the life they had together.
If you're going to kill him,
do so in one swift move.
Painless and with no fuss.
Wait, hold on.
Am I to make up my mind right now?
What do you plan to do?
Just so you know,
I have a plan.
-Life never goes as planned.
-Right.
Even Song Kang-ho's plan
failed in Parasite.
Wish for me to fail, why don't you?
So what is your plan?
You know you can tell us.
Those silly girls.
What if they actually go through with it?
Don't bother to know. It'll only hurt you.
What the…
Is she a celebrity?
Is she?
You're here.
Five years ago,
Jin-a suddenly fell off the grid
and survived through hell.
"I made it through another day."
She marked the calendar
with an X every day
which she continued for five years.
When it was over, she was finally able
to mourn her husband.
You bastard.
Where are you?
At home.
What about you?
The hospital.
I read your text.
I'll hire a caregiver to take over.
Don't. We're not at that point yet.
How long…
will my mom be able to hold on?
I was hoping for another IVF
once she gets better,
but I can kiss that goodbye.
We should hang up. I'll talk to you later.
You called for a driver, right?
What?
Who is it?
Hey. Did you change the passcode?
I'm not the one who told the realtor.
Open up.
Why are you here?
Find happiness where your Bluebird lives.
Open up while I ask nicely,
or I'll call a locksmith.
It's open.
I got it in one try.
Unbelievable.
Jeez.
I knew it was a possibility, but…
Don't you know that birthdays
are the obvious choice? Use your brain.
I guess you aren't shameless enough
to forget your daughter's birthday.
This isn't for my sake, you know.
I'm doing it for you.
You'll need money to find a place to live.
How could I turn a blind eye to that?
The money was going to cover the alimony,
and you'd get half of the rest.
So work with me here.
Alimony, my ass.
I'm aware that what you want is money.
Just tell me how much you want.
How much will it cost me?
Ten billion won!
Are you kidding me?
This isn't Hollywood, you know.
You have no grasp
on the real world, do you? Listen up.
Here. I considered
the current price rate for this.
Four hours of housekeeping.
That's 50,000 won a day.
There have been days when you did nothing,
but I'll generously say
you worked five days a week.
Times 4 weeks, times 12 months,
times 15 years
brings the total to 180 million won.
The number is right. I checked twice.
What is all this?
Now comes the big numbers.
Let's consider
the monthly rent of this place.
The cost of you living and eating here
adds up to 216 million won.
So in total, that's minus 36 million won.
That's how much you must pay me.
However,
how could I ask you to pay me that money?
What kind of bullshit is this?
Half.
What?
We'll split it in half.
I'll give you half once I sell this house.
So that's what you mean.
That sounds good.
Right? I knew this would work on you.
So that's how we'll divide our assets.
As for the alimony,
I won't leave you hanging.
Take a look.
GONG MA-RI'S ALIMONY
APPLICATION OF DIVORCE
You wish to die young, don't you?
Isn't it nice to come to
a civilized decision as adults? All right.
Sign right here.
APPLICANT: LEE NAK-GU
On one condition though.
There can be more than one, so go ahead.
We'll split everything
in this house by half.
Is that really necessary?
I don't need any of the furniture.
I'm not one to be in debt.
All right.
Where should we start?
-This for starters? There.
-What are you doing?
-This too. I'll take half.
-Are you out of your mind?
It takes a lunatic to deal with one.
You're next,
so how should I cut you in half?
-You choose. Horizontally or vertically?
-Wait.
-Horizontally or vertically?
-Don't come near me.
-Wait.
-I'll do as you ask.
Horizontally or vertically?
I know.
-Gosh.
-You're here early, ma'am.
Oh, the lipo--
How are you feeling?
Well, I'm better.
Do you recognize him?
He looks like Nam Joo-hyuk.
Do you want a cup of coffee?
That Nam Joo-hyuk!
Sorry? Is that his name?
Gosh. No, that's not it.
He thought the house was empty,
but then you came inside.
It startled him, which is why he ran.
How did he know that the house was empty?
He saw you get taken away
in the ambulance.
Has anything been stolen?
No.
Are you sure he's the Squirrel?
That we'll have to find out.
Ogwang-dong Squirrel, we got you now.
We have more witnesses than we need.
I'm not the Squirrel.
What's there to say
when you were caught red-handed?
Damn it.
I'm a victim, you know. Just look.
Then stop being vague
and answer the damn question.
I'll start with the easier ones.
Why were you at that house
two times in a row?
Well, I saw that she had a wad of cash.
Just a second.
You broke into an empty house
just to steal the money?
Exactly.
Fine. I'll believe you for now.
Next. Why were you there at night?
It wasn't empty,
and you knew she lived alone.
-You had other plans.
-Of course not!
Okay, fine.
I admit that I was there,
but then I just left.
You left after putting in the effort
to climb up three stories?
Nonsense!
Well…
It's true that I climbed up there.
Climbing three stories
wasn't a stroll in the park either.
But then I saw her bleeding
and clawing at the floor.
You know The Ring, right?
She was like the ghost from that movie.
Woo-bin?
That old lady almost
gave me a heart attack.
I didn't ask for an anecdote, you punk.
It's true. Ask the old lady!
The old lady who dresses
like she's in her twenties.
What? Old lady?
Who are you calling "old"?
Come here, you punk. I heard you!
-You can't do this, ma'am.
-Give me a second.
-You can't.
-I need to talk to him.
-Get out of there.
-Ma'am, please.
-You little shithead.
-Ma'am…
Damn it.
-Did you know the victim?
-Do you admit to it?
Are you the Squirrel?
Why did you play Yoon Jong-shin's song?
Was it a personal grudge?
-Please say a few words.
-Any words?
POLICE TRANSPORT
What saddened her
wasn't him calling her old.
She felt pity for herself
because she went out of her way
trying not to be called that.
But what saddened her even more was…
Do you know what saddened me even more?
SHOE REPAIR, SPARE KEYS
I…
I felt my heart skip a beat
at his actions.
What? Do you mean that your heart
thumped in your chest?
Yes.
Considering our age,
that could be an arrhythmia.
-No cucumber kimchi.
-Hey!
All I'm saying is that our hearts
shouldn't skip a beat at our age,
so you should see a doctor about it.
-Don't you have cucumber kimchi today?
-We don't.
I see. When was your last checkup?
Damn you.
We're done for. Don't ever call me again!
What the…
DORAE TRADITIONAL MARKET
-What can I get you today?
-Hello, ma'am.
Dried pollack. The best one.
What is it for?
It's for a memorial service,
so I'll take one caught in Korea.
It's unusual for the younger generation
to know how to shop for memorials.
Whoever it's for must be delighted.
I hope so too.
Are you seriously laughing
at a memorial service?
You two look alike. Like doppelgangers.
While we're at it,
why don't I have a service for you too?
Threaten me all you want.
I'll still demand a divorce.
Divorce is out of the question.
Mother, that's heavy.
Let me take that for you.
It's all right. You've done enough
since this morning. Get some rest.
Don't just stand there.
Set these on the table.
Men from privileged families
used to have more than one wife.
Take your great-grandfather, for example.
Even though he lived in a mansion,
he only took two wives.
My goodness.
I see it runs in the family.
Having a second wife, I mean.
It was a very long time ago.
Exactly, Mom. Life was better back then.
There wasn't any need for messy divorces.
So much for evolving
into a better society.
Why does the country get to decide
whether you can divorce?
They don't with marriage. Right?
Read the room, will you?
Don't mention divorce ever again.
But she may end up killing me!
Being the youngest gave him
his childish tendencies. You know that.
Of course.
And being a stupid fool
is how I ended up with him.
Goodness. Are you still hung up on that?
I said it as a joke
because I think of you as a daughter.
Me too.
I too was joking because we're that close.
Mom.
See? She's not some naive pushover.
Still, he's one with a gentle heart.
What else can you do
but try to change his mind?
You know this, but he has only
gone against my wishes once
and that was to marry you.
Exactly! Why couldn't you
keep on disapproving?
Mother, I'm sorry.
The trial wouldn't end on time.
Ma-ri, I'm sorry.
Mom, we're here.
It's our judge in the family.
Could we talk? Right over here.
Nak-gu, I'll only say this once,
so listen carefully.
Sure.
According to Article 840-1
of the Civil Code,
you may file for divorce
when the spouse is at fault.
That means Ma-ri can file for divorce.
But not you. Why? Because you're to blame.
You're shamelessly asking for one,
even though you're at fault.
This is the law speaking, not me.
And there have been precedents.
The nation has no right
to interfere though.
It violates my freedom
and my right to be happy.
I'm miserable right now.
I must divorce to be happy.
What I'm saying
is that you need Ma-ri
to agree to the divorce.
You'll have no luck
if you file for divorce on your end.
But she won't give me one.
That woman's impossible.
Maybe I should just move out.
You'll only be more at fault. Although,
getting kicked out is a different story.
It's okay to get kicked out?
Of course. Because that would make
Ma-ri the guilty party as well.
If both are equally responsible,
the judge might grant you a divorce.
-Why? Are you considering it?
-Well…
What else can be considered
as being guilty?
Assault, neglect,
but the best is an affair…
Sorry about that.
Right.
I see.
Gosh, Mother. Let me.
I'll take that for you.
Her smiling is giving me the creeps.
Have you been shopping online again?
Yes. No, I'm done with it.
These will be returned.
When they've already been used?
Goodness, child. Is there anything
that can't be returned these days?
Does that extend to husbands?
As if. Who would take back
a used item of 15 years?
What?
Ladies, I'm glad I caught you.
Let's have some fun together.
Drinks? But it's almost time for bed.
Since you bought these though,
I'll take one.
OGWANG-DONG
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Here.
Right. Did you hear the news?
The Squirrel we caught was let go.
Why? After all we did to catch him?
How could they just let him go?
From what I hear,
he isn't the real culprit.
He's only a petty criminal.
But… How so?
Well,
there's an odd element
that ties all the Squirrel cases.
And the one arrested knew none of it.
Which is what?
He sang a specific song.
I heard what it was, but I forgot.
Rebirth by Yoon Jong-shin!
How did you know that?
What the… Hold on.
Is the Squirrel still out there?
Even up until then, Jin-a had no idea.
My love for you astonishes me…
She wasn't aware of the twist
hidden in her nuptial song.
You sure sleep for hours, don't you?
Mother, you're quite pretty.
I find you the prettiest
when you're asleep.
Sleep tight, Mother.
I'm stepping out to make a call.
Can you keep an eye on her?
Sure thing.
Hey, Mom.
Hui-su, what a surprise.
You rarely call me.
Shouldn't you be in bed though?
It's still early.
How are things in San Francisco?
I bet the weather's nice.
It's paradise here like always.
Never too hot, never too cold.
By the way, your brother got a promotion.
Should I put him on?
No, it's fine.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
Why? Is something up?
Of course not.
Why would there be something up?
Is your mother-in-law doing well?
As if you need to ask.
She's too healthy if you ask me.
We went shopping during the day
and she was walking fiercely
even after two hours.
Her stamina exceeds mine.
How's Mu-young?
He's doing great, of course.
But he's been working long hours
and is quite busy.
Still, I can't believe
you haven't visited us once.
It's been years
since your father-in-law passed away.
I see that it's been upsetting you.
Of course.
The guest room has been set up nicely,
but you haven't visited once.
I'll talk to Mu-young about it.
Make time alone if he's not available.
I'll purchase your ticket
as a birthday gift.
How did you remember
that it was my birthday?
My back aches around that time of year.
Giving birth to you was a hassle.
You desperately refused to leave the womb.
Your dad spilled the champagne.
My gosh.
Anyway, Mom--
Hui-su, do you need money by any chance?
Mom, I have to go.
I left something on the stove.
Mom.
Thank you…
for having me.
Hui-su, what…
RECIPIENT: LEE NAK-GU
CALL LOG: LEE NAK-GU
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
Whoever it's for must be delighted.
I hope so too.
By the way, can I get the receipt?
Of course.
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
"Thirty thousand won."
You can't neglect your duties, such as
cooking, cleaning, and doing the laundry.
And attend the in-law's memorial services.
So unless I do anything
that makes me at fault,
he won't be able to file for divorce.
The case will be dismissed.
As a contingency plan,
collect other evidence
such as texts, the dashcam footage,
and credit card receipts.
Those are like Pandora's Box.
And a confession from his mistress
will be the ace up your sleeve.
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
Ma'am, can you seem any less generous?
Those look delicious.
I gave you a generous portion.
-Have a good night, then.
-You too.
Just a second!
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Here comes your dakbal.
RENOWNED ANCHOR LEE
CHEATING WITH A WOMAN IN HER TWENTIES
Who is it?
Oh, I'm here with the dakbal you ordered.
We didn't order any.
I must have the wrong address.
Sang-pil, why…
My flight was rescheduled, so…
Mister! Run!
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me,
accusing me of having an affair.
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me…
"It was pouring that day"?
My gosh.
Don't open the door for anyone!
What's going on?
The police. Call 112!
What is it?
Who the hell is trying
to knock down our door?
Who is it?
Lee Nak-gu, you bastard. Come out.
Ma-ri, run! My boyfriend won't show mercy.
You two-timing bastard, show yourself!
Just a second.
My gosh.
Mister, stay in there or you'll die.
Don't!
You'll break everything.
Breaking and entering, property damage…
What?
And assault.
Why you…
You!
Damn, that hurts.
No, don't!
Let's take a deep breath.
-You're an anchor.
-Yes.
-And you're a pilot.
-Right.
You're all elites here,
so let's keep this civil.
Who threw the first punch?
-Him.
-This prick.
I'm the one who called the police.
He broke into my house
and threw the first punch,
so it was self-defense.
You're the one who's been seeing my wife!
Let's please keep it civil.
Can't you see we're at a police station?
Don't patronize me, you adulterer.
Why you little…
I'm sure you saw him
take me by the collar first.
Mister, don't.
-What are you doing?
-Ma-ri, use your words.
You! Stop acting like we're friends.
Are you seriously
taking his side in front of me?
We're not together anymore,
so stay out of it!
What's with you?
I thought things were good.
Please take your seats!
How dare you yell at my woman!
What? Your woman?
If this is how it's going to be,
just sue one another.
Then, your bosses will be informed.
I'll give the two of you
time to calm down.
Ladies, who are you here for?
-I'm his wife.
-I'm his girlfriend.
One at a time, please!
I'm his wife.
What a mess.
Sir, may I explain the situation
to help you understand all of this?
Here's how it goes.
This prick is her ex
who's been stalking her.
I went over to her place today.
Just so you know,
she's the woman I'm in love with.
Anyway, that's when he came by.
So I quietly turned around and went home.
Just so you know,
she's the one I currently live with.
Anyway,
this prick, this piece of trash,
broke into our apartment unit.
She only followed me here
just in case anything happened.
That's why we're all here.
I hope that cleared things up.
You two are a couple
and you two are a couple,
so you're here for him.
That's right.
I'm the one who's here for Mr. Lee!
I saw the news too,
so stop being ridiculous.
Are you trying to test me?
Look here.
You're only his mistress.
She's his legal wife.
Mister…
No, wait.
That's only how it is for now.
We'll soon get divorced.
As if.
Go-eun, listen to me.
She was a mistake from the beginning.
You're the one I love.
Mister…
Please don't cry.
You're breaking my heart.
Don't cry.
What the hell…
I've had it with you!
That's another assault charge.
They don't go together at all.
I'm actually nervous.
-I mean it.
-After I exercise.
This is the bomb.
How can this not be good?
This looks incredible.
Gosh. And now the gochujang.
Then,
let's start off with a drink.
Why not? Let's do it.
How can you sleep after this?
Ma'am!
Give me 0.25 of epinephrine
and an IV drip.
Oxygen on max. Ambu bag.
Ma'am!
Time of death, 22:07 p.m.
Hui-su.
Wait.
This changes everything.
It's time to move on to Plan B.
When will we ever
sleep under the same roof?
Wait. Don't!
What…
Let me tell you right now
that this was never part of the plan.
Do you know how many times I called you?
Ma-ri, what am I going to do?
How can we live together?
Divorce is inevitable.
How are you going to clean up this mess?
Fine.
I'll do it!
Are you kidding me?
I'm not in the mood for silly jokes.
How dare you!
Why do I feel like I'm going in circles?
Let's get married.
I'm sure of it.
As if.
-My gosh.
-Get out!
Subtitle translation by: Hye-lim Park
Open up.
Help.
Help.
I hear something.
Are you okay?
We have an emergency.
Unidentified woman
with abdominal bleeding.
Send a medic right away. I repeat…
Mother.
How do you want me to kill you?
-What do we have?
-Abdominal bleeding.
She won't let us treat her.
What the…
No, don't!
No, you can't. Please don't.
Enough! Do you wish to bleed to death?
Let's continue.
Unbelievable.
The stitches have popped open.
Miss, which quack surgeon did this to you?
You had lipo done, right?
This isn't bad enough to kill you.
Hold on a second. I'll suture you back up.
Shit. This is humiliating.
Where is one supposed to sleep
on a night like this?
Is she asleep?
Jeez. They haven't gone home yet?
Where did the old hag go
at this hour, anyway?
-We're calling it a night.
-Let's just go.
Excuse me. Over here!
I'm Lee Nak-gu's wife.
-What?
-Lee Nak-gu's wife.
Are you saying you won't be divorcing him?
That's right.
I am not
going to divorce him.
Never.
Ever!
Never!
Why won't you divorce your husband
who had an affair?
Because
I love my husband
Lee Nak-gu…
until death…
do us part.
Right.
Please remember to blur out my face.
THE CHEATER'S DEVOTED WIFE
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE
WON'T DIVORCE HER HUSBAND
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE,
"I WILL NOT DIVORCE HIM"
As if you were out on a mission
talking to the press at night!
Is it a trend for first wives
not to agree to divorces?
Hit the shower. Let's have breakfast.
Damn it.
Gosh, that's nice.
What the hell?
Three moments of patience
may suppress the urge to kill.
Calm yourself down.
Damn it, it's not working.
Let's try that again.
Calm yourself down.
What…
What? What is it?
It's nothing.
Breakfast is ready.
Has she lost her mind?
Unbelievable.
LEE NAK-GU'S WIFE, "I LOVE MY HUSBAND"
What are you up to, woman?
This was all a show, wasn't it?
Ta-da.
Fine. I get it, all right?
I see where you're coming from,
but this will change nothing.
Stop wasting both our energy
and tell me what you want.
Your life.
What?
Your "love," of course.
I love you.
If not anything else,
I'd at least like to
host your funeral for you.
Then I'll follow you to the afterlife
three days later.
You agreed to the divorce.
You said it yourself!
I know, but this has been
an enlightening experience.
I learned…
that I still love you dearly.
I love you.
Shit.
That gave me the creeps.
Woman…
I mean, Ma-ri.
At times like this, one must be rational.
Being emotional will do you no good.
It's her I love, not you.
That's the truth.
Do you know
why adulterers are frowned upon?
Because they trample
on other people's happiness
to be happy themselves.
Trampling over other people's happiness
is the same as inconveniencing others.
You should start over
and find your own happiness, too.
It's not unreachable, you know.
You know, the bluebird of happiness
eventually found its own home.
Meanwhile, your bluebird…
lives across from us.
How did you know?
Do you like her that much?
That much to leave Su-ji and me?
Yes. I love her to the moon and back.
Fine. Just die, then.
Eat up, Nak-gu.
It could be your last feast.
Why? Has this been poisoned?
What the…
You witch!
Fresh, aren't they?
I hear they're in season.
Where's my medicine?
Where is it?
-Where…
-Looking for this?
Give that back right now!
You…
ALLERGY RELIEF
Give it here while I ask nicely.
Seriously? That could actually hurt me.
I might die from my allergies any second,
so who cares?
-Don't.
-Get over here.
This will at least be attempted murder.
Likewise.
I won't ask you again. Drop it.
You drop it!
Fine. We'll put them down
at the same time.
Okay, let's play it fair.
All right.
-One.
-One.
-Two.
-Two.
Three…
-I knew it, you dirty bastard.
-Damn!
As if you're better. Give it here!
Give it back!
You…
I'll divorce you no matter what,
even if that costs me my life.
No matter…
what!
And I'd rather die
than give you a divorce.
There will be no divorce! Never!
There you go, Mother.
Your son's the best.
Isn't he?
He travels the distance
at least once a week to see you.
I bet you didn't know
that your son…
hadn't been the best husband lately.
You…
You little thief.
Mother?
You tried to kill me!
I know what you're up to!
Mother, please.
Would you rather die?
Is that why you're doing this?
Yes, of course.
Really? That's great.
Yes, of course. Whenever they want.
Yes, I see.
Right, star 2580 star.
That's right. Sure thing. Bye.
Damn it.
Just you wait and see, woman.
My belly's killing me.
Hey, Unit 301.
I heard you had liposuction.
I almost resented my parents
for not giving me a figure like yours.
Maybe I should get it done too.
Unit 301, where did you get it done?
Make me an introduction.
Ladies, I see you were bored.
Maybe some other time.
When I actually have time.
Maybe I should get it done too.
We might get a group discount.
This is humiliating. Damn it.
What's with them?
Shit.
That was humiliating.
Damn it.
Absolutely humiliating.
No. No way.
I lost too much blood last night.
That must be why I'm seeing things.
The Squirrel.
Ladies!
-The Squirrel.
-What?
The Squirrel!
Where?
-My gosh.
-There.
-Get him.
-After him!
-My gosh.
-There!
-Stop him.
-Don't!
Not so fast.
No, don't you dare.
You darn Squirrel!
-What the…
-Nice!
Darn pervert!
Why you…
Let's see that face of yours.
Who is he?
What?
-You bastard!
-What?
-Wait.
-Don't!
Do you find this entertaining?
I'm pissed off as it is,
so don't add fuel to the flame.
I'm worried about you, that's all.
But they say that the new girlfriend
will always toss out the current one.
Are you trying to piss me off even more?
No, I'm just saying…
Well, you did good.
Good for you.
That's how marriages are anyway.
An affair really isn't a big deal.
Is that all you have to say?
A bomb went off in my life! Unbelievable.
What I'm saying is that
you should hold it out.
Hold your ground.
What can they do
when you won't give him a divorce?
I get it, Mom. I'm hanging up.
Hold on. Should I teach her a lesson?
You know where she lives, right?
This isn't some trashy B-movie, Mom.
Stay out of it, okay?
Your naive ways will bite you in the ass.
It's not like you could ever
marry a man like Nak-gu again.
Handsome, competent, and privileged--
Hang up if you're done pissing me off.
Hold on. Do you have
some money stashed away?
Did you get into trouble again?
No, it's not like that.
I seem to be in need of Botox shots.
These one-dollar face masks
aren't doing anything for me.
I asked around. The one from Germany
costs 100,000 won for three shots--
Even after 60 years,
my mom is still like a teenager,
but I can't swap her for a new one.
Because you can't swap out family.
However, there's one family member
who is an exception to that rule.
The only family member
who isn't related by blood.
Your spouse.
It's this way.
Please put on these slippers.
I'm so glad you could make it.
My gosh!
Who are you?
Oh, right.
He said the housekeeper could be home.
I'm the realtor.
The homeowner probably told you.
You must have the wrong unit.
This is unit 904.
Yes, unit 904.
The door lock passcode, star 2580 star.
How do you know that?
Because the owner of the house
told me, that's how.
Excuse us, then. This way, please.
It'll be spotless
with a little bit of cleaning.
It has been renovated, you see.
It was done
when the previous owner first moved in.
When will we be able to move in?
According to the owner, any time you like.
Any date you decide on will be fine.
The price is lower than the market rate
with it being an urgent sale.
It's on one of the best floors, too.
Hold on.
-Was this house put on the market?
-Yes. Why do you ask?
By whom?
The owner.
You're throwing the first punch,
is that it?
Sorry?
It's nothing.
You must be getting married.
-Right.
-Yes, the wedding's next month.
Gosh, I see. Congratulations.
Anyway, the unit may seem grand,
but bad energy flows beneath it.
See for yourselves.
The owners clearly fought this morning.
Will you be okay with that?
My gosh, what does that have to do
with the energy of this place?
Marital spouts are like slashing at water.
Like slashing at water?
That's up for debate.
What?
Wait, there's more.
My gosh.
Over here.
The place has one heck of a view.
See what I mean? You can see
into the unit across from here.
You'll get to see women
running around in just their underwear.
Will you be okay with that?
Look here, lady!
I'm not the housekeeper.
There must be a misunderstanding.
This house isn't for sale.
While renovating this unit,
I searched for materials,
fought with the contractors,
and kissed their asses.
My blood, sweat, and tears
went into this place.
No way will I sell it!
My gosh, are you the lady of the house?
Yes.
I'm afraid I am.
My goodness!
And here I thought
you were some nosy housekeeper.
Are you sure you're not interested
in selling this unit though?
I'm sure.
I'll be living in this house
for thousands of years!
Gosh.
It's just that your husband
desperately requested
that I find a buyer for him.
Is that so?
Well, it's his right
since we both own the place.
Goodness.
My gosh.
So tell me. How would you like it served?
Should I cut it in half like so?
Or down the middle like this?
-She must be insane.
-My gosh!
Right down the middle!
Marital spouts are not like
slashing at water.
When water freezes over,
blades will leave a gash.
You're all done.
You know you're allergic to shellfish.
You should be more careful.
Gosh.
I'm always careful, you know.
6 MISSED CALLS: DIRECTOR JUNG YEONG-HA
Hand in your resignation!
My resignation?
My resignation?
You've got to be kidding me.
You first put me on a pedestal,
and now this?
It's your fault for letting
your affair get out.
Why take it upon yourself
to gabble in front of the reporters?
Damn it.
This is the 21st century
and adultery isn't punishable by law.
Rather than having innovative values,
people remain old-fashioned.
NEWSROOM DIRECTOR JUNG YEONG-HA
We have our viewers to think about,
you punk.
In the people's eyes,
you're nothing but a bastard
who stepped out on his wife.
Okay, fine. It's all my fault.
I was born ahead of my time
and should've slowed down in life.
If I could, I'd smack you silly.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, your replacement
has already been cast,
so step down quietly as the host.
I'll try to wrap this up
with a two-month pay cut.
Wait. What did you just say?
You're cutting me from my own show?
-What did I do wrong?
-It's nothing to be proud of!
I wasn't going to say this
since it's a cliché, but--
-Then don't.
-Shit!
It's not a sin to fall in love!
Then live in a jungle
like an animal. Why don't you?
HUI-SU

Bottoms up!
Nice!
Mr. Nam, don't just sit there.
Sing with us.
-Come on.
-Join us.
-Here you go.
-Come on!
HUI-SU
Please leave it by the door. Thanks!
What now?
This isn't a delivery. I'm--
Sorry, but I believe in Buddhism.
Look here, I'm Lee Nak-gu's wife.
My gosh, Ma-ri!
Come on in.
Let's see. All right.
Ma-ri, here you go.
I just poured the hot water.
Would you like some?
I'm good.
Please address me casually.
I'm way younger than you, you know.
Since things are already a mess,
I won't beat around the bush.
You're a married woman yourself,
so why would you have an affair
with a married man
who's also a father?
Wait, that guy? He's not my husband.
We only lived together briefly.
All the men I've been with were jerks
which is why I was so jealous of you.
You got to marry a nice guy like Mr. Lee.
Hey!
Do you really
like Lee Nak-gu?
Yes, he's gentle and considerate.
Smart, funny,
humble, and down-to-earth.
When I'm with him,
I always feel reassured.
So? Is it your plan
to marry him once we're divorced?
My gosh, Ma-ri. You must've gotten
the wrong idea. I'm on your side.
-What?
-Please don't get divorced.
Marriage isn't something
I'm interested in.
So please stay as his legal wife.
Mr. Lee's love is more than enough for me.
What the…
What a nutcase.
Ma-ri, truth be told,
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
I quite like you, you see.
I thought you'd drag me by the hair
and douse me in water.
Mr. Lee sure has good taste in people.
It dawned on me the day I met him.
It was pouring that day.
You must not want to hear this.
So? What happened on that rainy day?
Should I continue?
If you want.
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me,
accusing me of having an affair.
I had no other choice but to run.
Please…
She was shuddering
like a sparrow caught in the rain.
That poor little bluebird
bounced into my arms…
I knew I had to look after her.
When did you become a bird-lover?
It's like a scene from a movie.
The last romantic on earth
is right in front of us.
Finally, I found someone who gets it.
You're not like the other
old-fashioned boomers in our department.
What's that?
This? Oh, it's garbage.
How can you be laughing when you're
being called the nation's adulterer?
You're clueless, aren't you?
I was only given that nickname
because I'm the nation's anchor.
I'll have to consider it as publicity.
A top celebrity has no time
to be fazed by hate comments.
But you wouldn't know about that.
Why you…
I bet it was you.
-What?
-I know you've been after my spot.
You must've snagged it
thinking of it as a golden opportunity.
It wasn't me!
Where's your professional courtesy?
That's wrong, you know.
-Sang-do, what do you think about this?
-Sorry?
Sang-do, did you read the script?
Stop right there.
Let me see that.
THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH PARK SANG-DO
Seriously?
"A dive into current affairs."
"Not with Lee Nak-gu,
but with Park Sang-do."
Nak-gu,
don't get the wrong idea.
I was just following orders.
Was it you who snagged my spot?
Just like a hyena.
A hyena that feeds on food
left by other animals.
Is this a jungle?
Unbelievable.
BLUEBIRD
If it weren't for my Bluebird,
you'd be dead meat by now.
Ma-ri, until next time. Bye!
Mister!
Gosh, I haven't seen you
around here these days.
Were you perhaps ill?
What?
Gosh, no. Why do you ask?
I kind of missed you, you see.
I wonder why.
Would you like your coffee?
Sure.
My love for you astonishes me…
What?
My gosh. Isn't this…
Do you know this song?
Yes, it was once sung by someone I know.
It's as if I've been reborn
Everything about me has changed
Upon meeting you, I became a new man
It amazes my mother the most
This is an oldie though.
It's trending online at the moment.
Apparently, the Squirrel
plays it at the crime scenes.
My gosh. Really?
Don't be ridiculous.
You're talking about reincarnation.
He isn't Jesus.
Right? It's completely absurd.
Then what is it that I saw?
Could he be possessed
by the spirit of your husband
who wishes to be with you?
Stop it.
Has talking about Woo-bin
made you quiet all of a sudden?
Are you still bitter?
Dig up his grave if that's how you feel.
Hey, that sounds like a solution.
Well…
I don't know where it is.
What? How can you not know
where your husband is buried?
Are you kidding me?
No, that's not it.
It's like this.
One day, I got a call from the police.
He rented a boat to go fishing,
but the boat came back empty.
KIM WOO-BIN
Woo-bin.
Woo-bin!
Should I take out
a few more life insurances on Nak-gu?
Why? Are you going to kill him?
All people end up dying, you know.
The issue is "when."
Earlier in life or later.
Don't get blood on your hands
and just keep him by your side.
That's the best revenge ever.
Make his life miserable
to the point that he wishes he were dead.
That's inhumane considering
the life they had together.
If you're going to kill him,
do so in one swift move.
Painless and with no fuss.
Wait, hold on.
Am I to make up my mind right now?
What do you plan to do?
Just so you know,
I have a plan.
-Life never goes as planned.
-Right.
Even Song Kang-ho's plan
failed in Parasite.
Wish for me to fail, why don't you?
So what is your plan?
You know you can tell us.
Those silly girls.
What if they actually go through with it?
Don't bother to know. It'll only hurt you.
What the…
Is she a celebrity?
Is she?
You're here.
Five years ago,
Jin-a suddenly fell off the grid
and survived through hell.
"I made it through another day."
She marked the calendar
with an X every day
which she continued for five years.
When it was over, she was finally able
to mourn her husband.
You bastard.
Where are you?
At home.
What about you?
The hospital.
I read your text.
I'll hire a caregiver to take over.
Don't. We're not at that point yet.
How long…
will my mom be able to hold on?
I was hoping for another IVF
once she gets better,
but I can kiss that goodbye.
We should hang up. I'll talk to you later.
You called for a driver, right?
What?
Who is it?
Hey. Did you change the passcode?
I'm not the one who told the realtor.
Open up.
Why are you here?
Find happiness where your Bluebird lives.
Open up while I ask nicely,
or I'll call a locksmith.
It's open.
I got it in one try.
Unbelievable.
Jeez.
I knew it was a possibility, but…
Don't you know that birthdays
are the obvious choice? Use your brain.
I guess you aren't shameless enough
to forget your daughter's birthday.
This isn't for my sake, you know.
I'm doing it for you.
You'll need money to find a place to live.
How could I turn a blind eye to that?
The money was going to cover the alimony,
and you'd get half of the rest.
So work with me here.
Alimony, my ass.
I'm aware that what you want is money.
Just tell me how much you want.
How much will it cost me?
Ten billion won!
Are you kidding me?
This isn't Hollywood, you know.
You have no grasp
on the real world, do you? Listen up.
Here. I considered
the current price rate for this.
Four hours of housekeeping.
That's 50,000 won a day.
There have been days when you did nothing,
but I'll generously say
you worked five days a week.
Times 4 weeks, times 12 months,
times 15 years
brings the total to 180 million won.
The number is right. I checked twice.
What is all this?
Now comes the big numbers.
Let's consider
the monthly rent of this place.
The cost of you living and eating here
adds up to 216 million won.
So in total, that's minus 36 million won.
That's how much you must pay me.
However,
how could I ask you to pay me that money?
What kind of bullshit is this?
Half.
What?
We'll split it in half.
I'll give you half once I sell this house.
So that's what you mean.
That sounds good.
Right? I knew this would work on you.
So that's how we'll divide our assets.
As for the alimony,
I won't leave you hanging.
Take a look.
GONG MA-RI'S ALIMONY
APPLICATION OF DIVORCE
You wish to die young, don't you?
Isn't it nice to come to
a civilized decision as adults? All right.
Sign right here.
APPLICANT: LEE NAK-GU
On one condition though.
There can be more than one, so go ahead.
We'll split everything
in this house by half.
Is that really necessary?
I don't need any of the furniture.
I'm not one to be in debt.
All right.
Where should we start?
-This for starters? There.
-What are you doing?
-This too. I'll take half.
-Are you out of your mind?
It takes a lunatic to deal with one.
You're next,
so how should I cut you in half?
-You choose. Horizontally or vertically?
-Wait.
-Horizontally or vertically?
-Don't come near me.
-Wait.
-I'll do as you ask.
Horizontally or vertically?
I know.
-Gosh.
-You're here early, ma'am.
Oh, the lipo--
How are you feeling?
Well, I'm better.
Do you recognize him?
He looks like Nam Joo-hyuk.
Do you want a cup of coffee?
That Nam Joo-hyuk!
Sorry? Is that his name?
Gosh. No, that's not it.
He thought the house was empty,
but then you came inside.
It startled him, which is why he ran.
How did he know that the house was empty?
He saw you get taken away
in the ambulance.
Has anything been stolen?
No.
Are you sure he's the Squirrel?
That we'll have to find out.
Ogwang-dong Squirrel, we got you now.
We have more witnesses than we need.
I'm not the Squirrel.
What's there to say
when you were caught red-handed?
Damn it.
I'm a victim, you know. Just look.
Then stop being vague
and answer the damn question.
I'll start with the easier ones.
Why were you at that house
two times in a row?
Well, I saw that she had a wad of cash.
Just a second.
You broke into an empty house
just to steal the money?
Exactly.
Fine. I'll believe you for now.
Next. Why were you there at night?
It wasn't empty,
and you knew she lived alone.
-You had other plans.
-Of course not!
Okay, fine.
I admit that I was there,
but then I just left.
You left after putting in the effort
to climb up three stories?
Nonsense!
Well…
It's true that I climbed up there.
Climbing three stories
wasn't a stroll in the park either.
But then I saw her bleeding
and clawing at the floor.
You know The Ring, right?
She was like the ghost from that movie.
Woo-bin?
That old lady almost
gave me a heart attack.
I didn't ask for an anecdote, you punk.
It's true. Ask the old lady!
The old lady who dresses
like she's in her twenties.
What? Old lady?
Who are you calling "old"?
Come here, you punk. I heard you!
-You can't do this, ma'am.
-Give me a second.
-You can't.
-I need to talk to him.
-Get out of there.
-Ma'am, please.
-You little shithead.
-Ma'am…
Damn it.
-Did you know the victim?
-Do you admit to it?
Are you the Squirrel?
Why did you play Yoon Jong-shin's song?
Was it a personal grudge?
-Please say a few words.
-Any words?
POLICE TRANSPORT
What saddened her
wasn't him calling her old.
She felt pity for herself
because she went out of her way
trying not to be called that.
But what saddened her even more was…
Do you know what saddened me even more?
SHOE REPAIR, SPARE KEYS
I…
I felt my heart skip a beat
at his actions.
What? Do you mean that your heart
thumped in your chest?
Yes.
Considering our age,
that could be an arrhythmia.
-No cucumber kimchi.
-Hey!
All I'm saying is that our hearts
shouldn't skip a beat at our age,
so you should see a doctor about it.
-Don't you have cucumber kimchi today?
-We don't.
I see. When was your last checkup?
Damn you.
We're done for. Don't ever call me again!
What the…
DORAE TRADITIONAL MARKET
-What can I get you today?
-Hello, ma'am.
Dried pollack. The best one.
What is it for?
It's for a memorial service,
so I'll take one caught in Korea.
It's unusual for the younger generation
to know how to shop for memorials.
Whoever it's for must be delighted.
I hope so too.
Are you seriously laughing
at a memorial service?
You two look alike. Like doppelgangers.
While we're at it,
why don't I have a service for you too?
Threaten me all you want.
I'll still demand a divorce.
Divorce is out of the question.
Mother, that's heavy.
Let me take that for you.
It's all right. You've done enough
since this morning. Get some rest.
Don't just stand there.
Set these on the table.
Men from privileged families
used to have more than one wife.
Take your great-grandfather, for example.
Even though he lived in a mansion,
he only took two wives.
My goodness.
I see it runs in the family.
Having a second wife, I mean.
It was a very long time ago.
Exactly, Mom. Life was better back then.
There wasn't any need for messy divorces.
So much for evolving
into a better society.
Why does the country get to decide
whether you can divorce?
They don't with marriage. Right?
Read the room, will you?
Don't mention divorce ever again.
But she may end up killing me!
Being the youngest gave him
his childish tendencies. You know that.
Of course.
And being a stupid fool
is how I ended up with him.
Goodness. Are you still hung up on that?
I said it as a joke
because I think of you as a daughter.
Me too.
I too was joking because we're that close.
Mom.
See? She's not some naive pushover.
Still, he's one with a gentle heart.
What else can you do
but try to change his mind?
You know this, but he has only
gone against my wishes once
and that was to marry you.
Exactly! Why couldn't you
keep on disapproving?
Mother, I'm sorry.
The trial wouldn't end on time.
Ma-ri, I'm sorry.
Mom, we're here.
It's our judge in the family.
Could we talk? Right over here.
Nak-gu, I'll only say this once,
so listen carefully.
Sure.
According to Article 840-1
of the Civil Code,
you may file for divorce
when the spouse is at fault.
That means Ma-ri can file for divorce.
But not you. Why? Because you're to blame.
You're shamelessly asking for one,
even though you're at fault.
This is the law speaking, not me.
And there have been precedents.
The nation has no right
to interfere though.
It violates my freedom
and my right to be happy.
I'm miserable right now.
I must divorce to be happy.
What I'm saying
is that you need Ma-ri
to agree to the divorce.
You'll have no luck
if you file for divorce on your end.
But she won't give me one.
That woman's impossible.
Maybe I should just move out.
You'll only be more at fault. Although,
getting kicked out is a different story.
It's okay to get kicked out?
Of course. Because that would make
Ma-ri the guilty party as well.
If both are equally responsible,
the judge might grant you a divorce.
-Why? Are you considering it?
-Well…
What else can be considered
as being guilty?
Assault, neglect,
but the best is an affair…
Sorry about that.
Right.
I see.
Gosh, Mother. Let me.
I'll take that for you.
Her smiling is giving me the creeps.
Have you been shopping online again?
Yes. No, I'm done with it.
These will be returned.
When they've already been used?
Goodness, child. Is there anything
that can't be returned these days?
Does that extend to husbands?
As if. Who would take back
a used item of 15 years?
What?
Ladies, I'm glad I caught you.
Let's have some fun together.
Drinks? But it's almost time for bed.
Since you bought these though,
I'll take one.
OGWANG-DONG
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Here.
Right. Did you hear the news?
The Squirrel we caught was let go.
Why? After all we did to catch him?
How could they just let him go?
From what I hear,
he isn't the real culprit.
He's only a petty criminal.
But… How so?
Well,
there's an odd element
that ties all the Squirrel cases.
And the one arrested knew none of it.
Which is what?
He sang a specific song.
I heard what it was, but I forgot.
Rebirth by Yoon Jong-shin!
How did you know that?
What the… Hold on.
Is the Squirrel still out there?
Even up until then, Jin-a had no idea.
My love for you astonishes me…
She wasn't aware of the twist
hidden in her nuptial song.
You sure sleep for hours, don't you?
Mother, you're quite pretty.
I find you the prettiest
when you're asleep.
Sleep tight, Mother.
I'm stepping out to make a call.
Can you keep an eye on her?
Sure thing.
Hey, Mom.
Hui-su, what a surprise.
You rarely call me.
Shouldn't you be in bed though?
It's still early.
How are things in San Francisco?
I bet the weather's nice.
It's paradise here like always.
Never too hot, never too cold.
By the way, your brother got a promotion.
Should I put him on?
No, it's fine.
I just wanted to hear your voice.
Why? Is something up?
Of course not.
Why would there be something up?
Is your mother-in-law doing well?
As if you need to ask.
She's too healthy if you ask me.
We went shopping during the day
and she was walking fiercely
even after two hours.
Her stamina exceeds mine.
How's Mu-young?
He's doing great, of course.
But he's been working long hours
and is quite busy.
Still, I can't believe
you haven't visited us once.
It's been years
since your father-in-law passed away.
I see that it's been upsetting you.
Of course.
The guest room has been set up nicely,
but you haven't visited once.
I'll talk to Mu-young about it.
Make time alone if he's not available.
I'll purchase your ticket
as a birthday gift.
How did you remember
that it was my birthday?
My back aches around that time of year.
Giving birth to you was a hassle.
You desperately refused to leave the womb.
Your dad spilled the champagne.
My gosh.
Anyway, Mom--
Hui-su, do you need money by any chance?
Mom, I have to go.
I left something on the stove.
Mom.
Thank you…
for having me.
Hui-su, what…
RECIPIENT: LEE NAK-GU
CALL LOG: LEE NAK-GU
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
Whoever it's for must be delighted.
I hope so too.
By the way, can I get the receipt?
Of course.
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
RECEIPT: DRIED POLLACK
"Thirty thousand won."
You can't neglect your duties, such as
cooking, cleaning, and doing the laundry.
And attend the in-law's memorial services.
So unless I do anything
that makes me at fault,
he won't be able to file for divorce.
The case will be dismissed.
As a contingency plan,
collect other evidence
such as texts, the dashcam footage,
and credit card receipts.
Those are like Pandora's Box.
And a confession from his mistress
will be the ace up your sleeve.
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
I've been put in a tough spot.
Mr. Lee wants a divorce,
but you won't give him one.
Can't we just share him?
Ma'am, can you seem any less generous?
Those look delicious.
I gave you a generous portion.
-Have a good night, then.
-You too.
Just a second!
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Here comes your dakbal.
RENOWNED ANCHOR LEE
CHEATING WITH A WOMAN IN HER TWENTIES
Who is it?
Oh, I'm here with the dakbal you ordered.
We didn't order any.
I must have the wrong address.
Sang-pil, why…
My flight was rescheduled, so…
Mister! Run!
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me,
accusing me of having an affair.
Anyway, on this pouring night,
I broke it off with my boyfriend.
That's when he came at me…
"It was pouring that day"?
My gosh.
Don't open the door for anyone!
What's going on?
The police. Call 112!
What is it?
Who the hell is trying
to knock down our door?
Who is it?
Lee Nak-gu, you bastard. Come out.
Ma-ri, run! My boyfriend won't show mercy.
You two-timing bastard, show yourself!
Just a second.
My gosh.
Mister, stay in there or you'll die.
Don't!
You'll break everything.
Breaking and entering, property damage…
What?
And assault.
Why you…
You!
Damn, that hurts.
No, don't!
Let's take a deep breath.
-You're an anchor.
-Yes.
-And you're a pilot.
-Right.
You're all elites here,
so let's keep this civil.
Who threw the first punch?
-Him.
-This prick.
I'm the one who called the police.
He broke into my house
and threw the first punch,
so it was self-defense.
You're the one who's been seeing my wife!
Let's please keep it civil.
Can't you see we're at a police station?
Don't patronize me, you adulterer.
Why you little…
I'm sure you saw him
take me by the collar first.
Mister, don't.
-What are you doing?
-Ma-ri, use your words.
You! Stop acting like we're friends.
Are you seriously
taking his side in front of me?
We're not together anymore,
so stay out of it!
What's with you?
I thought things were good.
Please take your seats!
How dare you yell at my woman!
What? Your woman?
If this is how it's going to be,
just sue one another.
Then, your bosses will be informed.
I'll give the two of you
time to calm down.
Ladies, who are you here for?
-I'm his wife.
-I'm his girlfriend.
One at a time, please!
I'm his wife.
What a mess.
Sir, may I explain the situation
to help you understand all of this?
Here's how it goes.
This prick is her ex
who's been stalking her.
I went over to her place today.
Just so you know,
she's the woman I'm in love with.
Anyway, that's when he came by.
So I quietly turned around and went home.
Just so you know,
she's the one I currently live with.
Anyway,
this prick, this piece of trash,
broke into our apartment unit.
She only followed me here
just in case anything happened.
That's why we're all here.
I hope that cleared things up.
You two are a couple
and you two are a couple,
so you're here for him.
That's right.
I'm the one who's here for Mr. Lee!
I saw the news too,
so stop being ridiculous.
Are you trying to test me?
Look here.
You're only his mistress.
She's his legal wife.
Mister…
No, wait.
That's only how it is for now.
We'll soon get divorced.
As if.
Go-eun, listen to me.
She was a mistake from the beginning.
You're the one I love.
Mister…
Please don't cry.
You're breaking my heart.
Don't cry.
What the hell…
I've had it with you!
That's another assault charge.
They don't go together at all.
I'm actually nervous.
-I mean it.
-After I exercise.
This is the bomb.
How can this not be good?
This looks incredible.
Gosh. And now the gochujang.
Then,
let's start off with a drink.
Why not? Let's do it.
How can you sleep after this?
Ma'am!
Give me 0.25 of epinephrine
and an IV drip.
Oxygen on max. Ambu bag.
Ma'am!
Time of death, 22:07 p.m.
Hui-su.
Wait.
This changes everything.
It's time to move on to Plan B.
When will we ever
sleep under the same roof?
Wait. Don't!
What…
Let me tell you right now
that this was never part of the plan.
Do you know how many times I called you?
Ma-ri, what am I going to do?
How can we live together?
Divorce is inevitable.
How are you going to clean up this mess?
Fine.
I'll do it!
Are you kidding me?
I'm not in the mood for silly jokes.
How dare you!
Why do I feel like I'm going in circles?
Let's get married.
I'm sure of it.
As if.
-My gosh.
-Get out!
