Little Women (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript
It's my fault.
If only…
I hadn't gone after that money.
If only I hadn't brought back that orchid.
What are you talking about?
Why is it your fault
that this happened to Great-Aunt?
In-joo!
Wake up, In-joo!
DECEASED: OH HYE-SEOK
CHIEF MOURNER: OH IN-KYUNG
I heard she saw everything.
She's been silent ever since.
Completely? She won't say anything at all?
That's why the investigation is slow.
The only witness won't talk.
Could she have been
involved in her death in any way?
Could it be because of the inheritance?
I knew Chairwoman Oh.
I knew her personally.
When I was little,
she used to come over often.
She was our family nurse.
She's the one who was by my side
on the day my mother passed away.
I used to call her "Syringe Lady."
Why did you give me that orchid?
You said it would show me
what I really wanted.
I had a nightmare.
I was terrified,
so I went to check on my great-aunt.
The next thing I knew,
I was crying
with my bleeding great-aunt in my arms.
Why did you give that to me?
Did my great-aunt die
because of that orchid?
I was only in high school
when I found my mother dead.
I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
If it wasn't for Syringe Lady,
I would have fallen apart.
What did my great-aunt…
do to help you?
She told me to close the door to the room.
She said if I could neither understand
nor accept what I saw,
I should just keep the door closed
and move on with my life.
And when the day comes
that I can finally understand
what happened,
I can reopen that door in my heart.
"Don't let this overwhelm you."
"Whatever this is,
your life matters more."
If it weren't for her advice,
I don't think I would've managed…
to live this life.
And I'd like to tell you the same thing.
If Chairwoman Oh were alive,
she would have done so herself.
The Chairwoman's death
has nothing to do with that orchid.
Believe me.
The orchid was just supposed to be
a token of our friendship.
When did you open that door again?
I never did.
I'm still…
living my life as I did then.
But that's not the kind of person I am.
I'll never close that door.
I won't stop until I find an explanation.
And until then…
I won't even trust you,
Director Won Sang-a.
The deceased left behind a home,
land, forests, buildings,
stocks, bonds, and cash among others.
All in all, they're worth
about 28 billion won in total.
Regarding her home
and the stocks to her company,
she chose her great-niece,
Ms. Oh In-kyung…
as the sole inheritor.
As for the rest of the assets,
she wanted them to be equally distributed
among the other family members.
Moving on to her liabilities.
Here's the list.
A mortgage of 12 billion won.
Secured loans and mortgage trusts
of 19.5 billion won.
Hold on, her liabilities…
That's more than
the total worth of her assets.
Including bonds, her liabilities are
estimated to be 36 billion won.
That's ridiculous.
So basically, all she had was debt.
Let me have a look.
In this case, the fastest and simplest way
would be to disclaim--
-I'll disclaim the inheritance.
-I see.
I'll disclaim the inheritance too.
But that means the debt can be transferred
to the other inheritors.
If one of you accepts the inheritance
under the benefit of inventory--
We've already disclaimed the inheritance,
so count us out.
I'll do it.
I believe that's what the deceased
would have wanted as well.
If you allow me,
I'll take care of the rest.
Aunt Hye-seok was always fond of In-kyung,
wasn't she?
In-kyung was always such a smart girl.
How long have you been here?
Who did it?
I don't know.
You warned me that night,
saying I would be in danger.
That's how you could be there
before anyone else.
You knew something was going to happen,
didn't you?
Now that I think of it,
you were never startled by any of this.
Don't play dumb.
We both know that's bullshit.
I'm sincerely sorry about your loss.
But I really didn't know.
To tell you the truth,
I'm just as startled as you are.
Tell me who did it
or I won't go to Singapore.
Will you call this a minor inconvenience
and tell me to put up with it?
I already made plans
for when you decided not to go.
You don't have to push yourself.
Be upset with me
for once.
Don't you see that I'm upset with you?
Let's split ninety-ten. No, hundred-zero.
You can take it all.
I'll give you all that money,
so find who killed my great-aunt.
Find out who killed Hwa-young
and my great-aunt.
Once they're behind bars,
the money is all yours.
I have a week
before I fly out to Singapore.
I won't be able to find
the culprit by then.
Even if I did,
we might not be able to secure
any solid evidence.
And even if we do find evidence,
the money will still be split sixty-forty
just as we promised before.
I promised to keep you safe
until I leave for Singapore, remember?
Are you saying
that you'll look into who the culprit is?
I'm telling you to be ready
to leave for Singapore anytime.
I was going to put off grieving for her
for the time being.
Because there's a lot to do.
I wanted to cry after finding out
why Great-Aunt died.
But this was too much.
She went bankrupt because of me.
It's not your fault.
It's Park Jae-sang's fault.
To Great-Aunt,
her company was like her child.
Seeing her business fail would have been
more painful to her than dying.
She wanted me to take over her company
and keep it prosperous for a long time.
That was why she raised me.
How will I make up for this?
You don't need to.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not sadness I feel.
It's pain.
It hurts so much.
In-kyung.
If anyone should be held responsible,
it should be me, not you.
I'll take care of everything from here.
So don't let this hold you back
and get on with your life.
"Hi, In-kyung."
Here are the passwords
to her bank accounts.
These are the house keys.
This is for the sedan,
and this is for the SUV.
What is this for?
She didn't mention anything about that.
IN-KYUNG'S ROOM
I know you hate
this kind of stuff, Great-Aunt.
I do too, but I'm writing it anyway.
Thank you for raising me.
Hey, In-joo.
In-kyung, turn on the news.
The person who killed Great-Aunt
turned himself in.
To Pyeongchang-dong, please.
-Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok!
-Wait!
-Why did you kill her?
-Anything to say to her family?
It's wrong to kill someone,
but I had a good reason.
If you check out my ETube channel,
The Sinking Real Estate Market,
it'll show you why I did what I did.
I'm sure you'll understand
once you see it.
What's that bastard going on about?
Damn it!
I don't believe this.
He was in charge of
Great-Aunt's meals for years.
Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok.
Chairwoman Oh Hye-seok said
the real estate market would never crash.
But I ended up going broke.
For the past few years,
I've prepared for this day
through physical and mental training.
Today…
I will punish the demoness
of the real estate world.
Did he start working for her
with the intention of harming her?
Did he prepare her meals for two years
because he wanted to kill her?
Cheon Sang-hyeok was well-known
in the housing market pessimist forums.
Someone could have hired him
to kill Great-Aunt.
By the way,
tell me.
What was that orchid
that we found next to Great-Aunt?
Why did you say
that it was your fault that she died?
Is there anything else you know
about her death?
Hyo-rin's mother
gave it to me that day
when she asked me
to launder her money in Singapore.
What?
She said
I could join their group
if I received the orchid.
It's called Jeongran Society.
"Jeongran Society"?
Did you see it?
Cheon Sang-hyeok's video? I did.
Did you watch it to the end?
The Most High understands me.
Goodbye then.
That's an orchid.
He must have brought
that orchid to the scene.
How dare you do this to my men?
That dump truck accident
was obviously your doing.
They need 12 weeks in the hospital
and over 8 months of rehab.
One's a newlywed
and one recently became a dad!
Can't I do this much
when I've covered for you all this time?
I warned you to leave Ms. Oh In-joo alone.
And I did. I have nothing to do with that.
Then find out what happened.
I haven't even started yet.
I've secured the transaction history
of your closest acquaintances
and their families.
You know how cold-blooded Mr. Park is
when it comes to money.
Why you…
Listen, you crazy bastard.
I guess camaraderie
doesn't mean a thing to a traitor's son.
What would Mr. Park and your men say
when they find out that you pocketed
the money for the green fund?
Camaraderie aside,
they'll think you've
stabbed them in the back.
So go and find out right now.
Or it could be you
who needs to be in rehab next.
It has to be here somewhere.
Could he have taken it back?
What if someone took it?
There's a hidden room.
Someone cleaned out the safe.
I wonder what was stored in here.
Maybe that's why she was killed.
I found it.
So it was because of this orchid.
Not the orchid that I brought.
How can a mere plant be this scary?
In-joo. I'm…
determined to get this story out.
About Jeongran Society.
And about the secret of the Blue Orchid.
People are dying or getting killed
next to the orchid.
Who are they? Why did they die?
How are they connected?
And who was it
that killed our great-aunt?
If I don't get this story out,
I might be the one to die next.
Will people believe you?
It seems farfetched
to bring the orchid into this.
We don't have
any decisive evidence either.
In-kyung.
I have 70 billion won in Singapore.
You have seven million in Singapore?
It's 70 billion.
Is it Hwa-young's money?
It's in an account
under my name in Singapore.
I'm the only person
who can withdraw it now,
so it's mine.
I'm going there to get it in a week.
I know you wouldn't like it,
but that money will help us
find a safe place for us sisters
after you publish that story.
We should go to Singapore with In-hye.
Then I'll give you the ledgers.
Write a perfect story using that
and bring them all down.
What do you say?
What about me?
Won't I be in danger too?
Deal.
SEOUL MAYORAL PRIMARY ELECTION
RESULT ANNOUNCEMENT
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
Dear party members
and the great citizens of Seoul,
who was my enemy in this election?
It was none other than myself.
Who am I?
A serial killer.
The son of a miner. A breadwinner.
A lawyer who fought
for pneumoconiosis patients
and Agent Orange victims.
-I, Park Jae-sang, will fight for Seoul.
-Doesn't that sound familiar?
-It does.
-I will stop at nothing.
-Who is our enemy in this war?
-Who was my enemy in this election?
-It is ourselves.
-It was none other than myself.
Who were we
before we came to the battlefield?
Who am I?
The sentences have the same structure.
-…factory workers.
-Shoe repairers!
-Miners!
-Farmers!
-Carpenters!
-Sailors!
Hold on a second.
I think I just saw Great-Aunt.
Was she ever in Vietnam?
My father breathed on his own?
We had the TV on because we thought
the General would like it.
And right at this part of the speech…
Who am I?
The son of a miner.
PARK WINS PRIMARIES WITH 42.5% OF VOTES
A breadwinner.
A lawyer who fought
for pneumoconiosis patients
and Agent Orange victims.
He breathed on his own
for about 20 minutes.
It's unlikely that he'll fully
recover his consciousness,
but this is quite encouraging.
He's been listening to us.
He's doing his best
to come back to this world.
Father, you told me this
on the day of our marriage.
"From now on, I'm your father."
You breathed on your own
after I won the primaries.
So please wake up when I become the mayor.
Being the mayor won't cut it.
You'd need to become the president.
He'll survive until then, right?
We'll make sure he does.
-Let's keep that on.
-We will.
The General seems to like it.
He has to keep listening to that?
Until you become the president?
Fine, I'll try to make it happen
as soon as possible.
Did you attend
Chairwoman Oh's funeral yesterday?
Yes.
We were supposed to visit
the disability center.
I was worried when you canceled
because of a headache.
But I did have a headache.
Can't you see?
Look how far I've come for you.
Defeating my enemies
and making new friends along the way.
I wanted to become a man worthy of you.
So please help me out a little.
The only reason you married me
was that I was the daughter of a general.
You thought even a driver's son
could become the president
if they married me.
That's not true.
I didn't marry you
to become the president.
I want to become the president
because I love you.
You've always been my dream.
And you're more beautiful now
than when you married me at 25.
I can't do this alone.
We achieved our first victory today.
Tonight…
I really need you.
You're the only one who can help me.
Please.
Can you not touch me
at a moment like this?
When am I allowed to touch you then?
Sometimes…
you remind me of your father.
You're so persistent…
and repulsive.
Sorry.
Did I wake you up?
What's that noise?
My parents are fighting again.
Damn it!
-Let go of me!
-What's wrong?
-Let go!
-Let's go inside.
Leave me alone! Let go of me!
Please, leave me alone!
Let go!
I said, let go!
Let's go there.
Where we couldn't go before.
Are you sure this is it?
Yes.
I'm sure this is where I saw it.
Great-Aunt fought as an American.
"Lieutenant Oh Hye-seok."
She was discharged in 1970.
Did these people meet in the Vietnam War?
KIM DAL-SU
DISCHARGED IN 1970
All of them fought in the Vietnam War,
but in different units.
Then how did they meet each other?
KIM JEONG-GU, GANG DU-HAN,
PARK IL-BOK, LEE IL-HWA, JEONG GU-MYEON
At the hospital.
Twelve. There are twelve of them.
That's General Won Gi-seon.
This is an American field hospital.
Why were Korean soldiers there?
Young Ariadne looks so different
from how she looks now.
How so?
She looks cheerful, childlike,
and somewhat kind.
Does my mom look mean now?
I wonder what happened.
What's this?
Someone has been cut out.
Here too.
And here.
Who could it be?
JEONGRAN SOCIETY
GO JU-WON, PARK IL-BOK
Long ago, during the Vietnam War,
there was a nurse
and a platoon consisting of 12 soldiers.
When they returned to Korea,
they started to die one by one
as if they had fallen
while fighting an invisible war.
And…
since our great-aunt has passed away…
Apart from General Won Gi-seon,
the only survivor is…
Choi Hee-jae, who went missing in 1998.
CHOI HEE-JAE
I need to talk to him.
How will you find someone
who went missing?
You know what?
After he went missing,
his son inherited his land,
and the son's name is Choi Do-il.
Could it be the Choi Do-il we know?
They were born in the same year.
What?
CHOI DO-IL
123-1, HONGSIN-DONG, GWANAK-GU, SEOUL
Let's go meet Choi Do-il's mother first
since we know where she is for sure.
This is it.
I used to play with this as a kid.
It really does look exactly the same.
CLOSED ROOM
"Closed room."
Come to think of it…
there's no door.
I told the housekeeper
to take the day off.
I canceled all my morning plans too.
There's something I need to tell you.
Your mom
is sick.
She has a terrible headache.
She'll stay in her room for a while.
Her doctor said she shouldn't see anyone
until she gets better.
Will Mom be staying
in a closed room all by herself?
She'll get better in a few days.
We should help her out.
How do we do that?
By enjoying each day that's given to us.
In-hye.
Can you help Hyo-rin?
I'd really appreciate it if you did.
Who are you two?
What is it you want to tell me
about my son?
Are you trying to blackmail me?
No, we aren't.
We're not here to make a deal either.
I don't like to exaggerate.
I'm here to tell you the facts.
Go ahead.
Can I start by talking about you?
It'll naturally lead to your son.
Keep it short or I'll get bored.
The murder of Hongsin-dong Resident
Compensation Committee's chairman.
On August 9, 1998, at 9 p.m.,
a man in his seventies was murdered
in the Hongsin-dong
Redevelopment Association office.
He was struck three times in the head
from behind with a hammer
and died instantly.
You hid in the mountains all night
and were arrested the next morning.
The weapon was found at the scene.
Because your confession
matched the evidence,
and because the murder was
brutal and premeditated,
you received a 30-year sentence.
And why are you bringing this up?
What I find strange about this
is that you're not someone who is capable
of taking another person's life.
Do you not know?
All murderers were once ordinary people.
Most female murderers choose
poisoning or suffocation.
They prefer to suffocate sleeping victims
with a pillow or a plastic bag.
Then what if I'm upset
but can't find any poison
or a pillow nearby?
What if the hammer was all I had?
No one had ever seen that hammer
in the office before.
The police also found
a receipt showing that you had bought
the hammer a month earlier.
It was premeditated.
And this is what I find the most puzzling.
All premeditated crimes have a purpose.
But look what happened.
The redevelopment sped up,
but you've been in prison
for over 20 years.
I didn't think I'd get caught.
That's ridiculous.
Young people don't seem to understand
that life doesn't always go as planned.
I've racked my brain over and over
to find a way to clear up my suspicion.
And there's only one explanation
that makes sense to me.
You were acting your part in a show
that was set in Hongsin-dong.
And someone was running the show
from behind the curtains.
"When you get to
the top floor of the parking lot,
make sure there isn't anyone around."
"Then call the office
and see if anyone answers."
You moved there
only three months before the murder.
Your neighbors testified that they heard
hammering sounds for a month.
Were you practicing?
Everyone makes mistakes
during their first murder,
but the scene was way too clean.
Your son, who happened to be
sleeping over at his friend's that day,
received a scholarship
to study in the States a few months later.
If this is why you're here,
I don't want to hear it.
-You're wasting my--
-Your son…
I heard he never visited you in prison.
I told him not to.
He will be in danger
in the near future.
What are you saying?
Ledgers containing records
of a slush fund will be exposed.
Two people have died already.
The bookkeeper who managed the ledgers
for the last 25 years
and the accounting manager.
Who do you think will be framed
and killed next?
Just so you know,
your son is currently
the accounting manager.
And the person in charge of the ledgers
is me.
Do you now understand
why we insisted on meeting you?
So?
What's your plan?
We'll expose Jeongran Society
to the world.
That's impossible.
It's possible if you help us.
If you do that,
you'll end up dead too.
All these years,
you've refused to meet anyone.
I think that's because
you regret what you did
and have been living in remorse.
But what made it possible for you
to endure all those years?
If something were to happen to your son…
Since then, I've seen my son just once.
It was while I was in custody.
He kept asking me the same question.
But…
I couldn't give him an answer.
Because…
I couldn't lie to him.
I have wondered for over 20 years
whether he never came to see me
because I didn't answer his question.
Please tell Do-il this.
My answer to his question is…
"no."
Tell him that if he wants
to find the evidence,
he should start at Baramjae
and head northeast by 23 degrees
for one kilometer.
I'm certain
that he'll know what I mean.
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
Oh In-joo and Oh In-kyung
visited An So-yeong
at the Cheongju Correctional Center
for Women an hour ago.
-What?
-Should I get rid of them?
They're not the problem.
Have your best men tail Choi Do-il.
Yes, sir.
I went to see your mother.
Who?
Your mother, Ms. An So-yeong.
What the hell are you up to?
She asked me to tell you
that her answer to your question
from 20 years ago
is "no."
And this is where you should go
to find evidence.
Forget about Singapore.
Our deal is off.
Don't contact me ever again.
Before my great-aunt passed away,
I asked her about Park Il-bok.
You know something, don't you?
Is it about Park Jae-sang's father?
That man wouldn't have let you
come to his house
just to share his childhood memories.
There are other secrets, right?
Park Il-bok was a very tidy man.
He hated seeing anyone needlessly suffer.
For that reason,
he helped many people.
This is all I can tell you
about Park Il-bok.
The scene of the Hongsin-dong murder
is said to have been unusually clean.
The victim did not needlessly suffer
and he died instantly.
Here's my plan.
Once I withdraw 70 billion won
in Singapore,
my sister will publish her story
about Jeongran Society
along with the slush fund ledgers.
There will be no negotiations.
And I won't turn a blind eye
to Hwa-young's death either.
You can get your revenge too.
The real culprit
is Park Jae-sang's father, Park Il-bok.
Once we reveal the evidence,
Park Jae-sang's political career
will be over.
I've always been curious as to why
people would want to take revenge
when there is a safer,
more dignified alternative.
So why would they put themselves at risk?
I don't get it…
but I'll give you this.
Cheon Sang-hyeok's ex-wife and daughter
will move into a new apartment next month.
You can find the details in there.
I'm giving it to you because I don't care
about your safety anymore.
From now on,
your life will be in danger.
I…
had my life on the line from the start.
I've been risking my life,
galloping on a horse.
And I still believe
that my horse can jump over the fence.
Call me.
We weren't the only ones following him.
It's from a graduation exhibit
for Stage Art Design majors
at the New York School of Theater.
The artist is Won Sang-a.
It was made in 1995.
That's way before Hwa-young died.
Why did my mom
make something this terrifying?
"The room that I locked myself up in
a long time ago."
"I can never…
leave this room."
What if…
my mom dies like this?
She's locked up in the room right now.
She won't die
because we know about this now.
We have to stop her.
I'm scared.
IN-HYE
It's Won Sang-a.
I'm locked up.
My husband is very dangerous right now.
I'll escape from this place
no matter what.
Go to Singapore
and prepare some cash for me.
I'll join you with the kids soon.
This building had been abandoned for years
until I bought it recently.
This building will be demolished soon.
It's safer to rebuild from scratch
after everything's been demolished.
I wanted to show it to you
before that happened.
What for?
I was hoping you could imagine
how this run-down building
will be replaced
by something much more magnificent.
I'm not smart enough
to understand what you mean.
I'll never hurt Hyo-rin or her mother
under any circumstances.
I can give up everything
for the two of them.
And you can also be a part of our family
if you decide that's what you want.
But you must understand that two buildings
can't be built in the same place.
The old building must be
completely demolished.
Only then can we build
something much more beautiful.
Many things will happen
in the next few days.
I'm curious to see
how well you will endure them.
Anyone home?
Sir, we're lost.
Could you please give us directions?
Go 800m east and you'll come to a fence.
You'll find yourselves back on the trail
if you follow it.
Come here, sweetie.
In-kyung!
In-kyung, are you okay?
VIETNAM WAR CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
You must be a Vietnam War veteran.
-Don't touch that.
-I'm sorry.
VIETNAM WAR SURVIVORS
MANAGER LEE YONG-GWI
It's done.
Thank you.
Could we have some tea together?
Don't ever come near this place again.
Mr. Choi Hee-jae.
My name is Oh In-kyung.
I'm a freelancer now,
but I used to be a reporter at OBN.
I'm covering a story about General Won
and Jeongran Society.
I don't think this story
should remain untold.
Is there anything you can tell us?
I'll make sure
you remain completely anonymous.
That dog might have rabies.
Who knows what it's infected with,
given how much it roams about?
If I were you,
I'd get some medicine right away.
If you end up with tetanus,
you might lose your arm.
Leave immediately.
If I had known,
I wouldn't have even treated you.
We should go.
But still, how could you
let that dog bite you?
If I hadn't, we wouldn't have even
made it inside that house.
Did you get everything?
You must be out of your mind.
I wanted to show him
what kind of reporter I am.
Wait and see.
He'll call me.
I'll take you to the nearest hospital.
You could die of sepsis.
Do you know how we report typhoons?
You go to the very center of it.
Close to the sea if possible,
so you get the waves on camera.
Do you know what it feels like
when you're standing there?
You feel like you can win.
You feel like you can beat the typhoon
and survive to the end.
That's why I had a rope tied around me.
Because I didn't want people
to drag me away,
not knowing that I can win.
What if you died?
Some years,
I only felt alive during typhoons.
After a certain point,
they stopped giving me any stories
other than car accidents,
assault cases, and fires.
Instead, I wanted to cover
more important stories.
The ones that went deeper
and made much more noise.
Stories that could turn
people's lives upside down.
Seriously.
One day, you'll be the death of me.
Hold on.
VIETNAM WAR SURVIVORS
MANAGER LEE YONG-GWI
I think we found something.
In-joo.
Listen carefully, In-hye.
I'm about to tell you
something really important.
I'm leaving for Singapore in a few days.
You and In-kyung have to come too,
and we might not come back.
This is the phone you'll use then.
I withdrew as much cash as I could
just in case.
What about Hyo-rin and her mom?
They'll come too.
We'll go there and wait for them.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'll talk to In-kyung later.
Hey, the door's locked.
-Darn it. Who locked it?
-Stay here, I'll get the key.
It's your birthday today, right?
Is it?
I didn't know what to get you.
But I thought you'd want this the most.
I'm off.
I loved counting money
since I was a child.
I counted money in my head for fun.
When it was a lot of money,
I'd convert it into amounts of food.
A hundred red bean buns.
A hundred bowls of jjajangmyeon.
That was the only I could know
how much all that money was worth.
I'll remember this day.
This will be my last birthday
while being poor.
The day I bought
everything I had ever wanted.
Why did you put a tail on me?
Are you unable to trust me
because my father was a traitor?
Is there anyone I trusted more than you?
It's my father's address.
I know you've been looking for him.
Whatever you do with him,
I won't interfere.
He was a born hunter.
A born soldier.
Not many soldiers can actually
kill the enemy without hesitation.
Only about two percent of them.
Choi Hee-jae was one of the rare snipers
who could pull the trigger
while looking the target right in the eye.
It was once rumored
that there was a Special Forces unit
made up of only men like him.
And that the US Army trained them
to carry out special operations.

My goodness! Mr. Choi.
What's with that outfit?
It's my birthday today.
I know people hate it,
but this is what I wanted to wear
when I was 12.
Because girls who dressed like this
had birthday parties.
I don't care if you laugh at me.
I wore it with confidence.
I'm a woman
who has 70 billion won in Singapore.
I'll give you an important task
to show you that I still trust you.
Get rid of Ms. Oh In-joo.
As quickly and as neatly as you can.
I received an email from Singapore.
It's all in English.
It's an article about
the preview of the IOF.
It says that the preview of the auction
was attended by many VIPs
including Ms. Oh In-joo from Korea.
That's…
Hwa-young.
Is Ms. Jin Hwa-young
really dead?
Yes.
I saw her dead body with my own eyes.
She's definitely dead.
We have a problem.
Rumor has it that the paper company
that I set up under your name
is going to be investigated.
Then what will happen?
They might freeze the accounts.
But the bigger problem is
that the fake Oh In-joo might take
the 70 billion won herself.
Is it really possible…
that Hwa-young is still alive?
I'm on my way to the airport.
I'm going to Singapore to find out.
Are you coming with me or not?
I am.
Someone saw a person
who looks exactly like me.
No one looks exactly the same as you.
You must promise that you'll protect me
no matter what happens.
These accounts are all yours?
My men in Singapore
are on the move as we speak.
Don't even think about betraying me.
I'm going to kill Park Jae-sang
in front of everyone.
We can do that with the news.
That one shot you need.
In-joo seems to be in serious danger.
What do we do?
Don't ever trust anyone or anything
except for your gun and cash.
Subtitle translation by: Min-jin Kim
If only…
I hadn't gone after that money.
If only I hadn't brought back that orchid.
What are you talking about?
Why is it your fault
that this happened to Great-Aunt?
In-joo!
Wake up, In-joo!
DECEASED: OH HYE-SEOK
CHIEF MOURNER: OH IN-KYUNG
I heard she saw everything.
She's been silent ever since.
Completely? She won't say anything at all?
That's why the investigation is slow.
The only witness won't talk.
Could she have been
involved in her death in any way?
Could it be because of the inheritance?
I knew Chairwoman Oh.
I knew her personally.
When I was little,
she used to come over often.
She was our family nurse.
She's the one who was by my side
on the day my mother passed away.
I used to call her "Syringe Lady."
Why did you give me that orchid?
You said it would show me
what I really wanted.
I had a nightmare.
I was terrified,
so I went to check on my great-aunt.
The next thing I knew,
I was crying
with my bleeding great-aunt in my arms.
Why did you give that to me?
Did my great-aunt die
because of that orchid?
I was only in high school
when I found my mother dead.
I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
If it wasn't for Syringe Lady,
I would have fallen apart.
What did my great-aunt…
do to help you?
She told me to close the door to the room.
She said if I could neither understand
nor accept what I saw,
I should just keep the door closed
and move on with my life.
And when the day comes
that I can finally understand
what happened,
I can reopen that door in my heart.
"Don't let this overwhelm you."
"Whatever this is,
your life matters more."
If it weren't for her advice,
I don't think I would've managed…
to live this life.
And I'd like to tell you the same thing.
If Chairwoman Oh were alive,
she would have done so herself.
The Chairwoman's death
has nothing to do with that orchid.
Believe me.
The orchid was just supposed to be
a token of our friendship.
When did you open that door again?
I never did.
I'm still…
living my life as I did then.
But that's not the kind of person I am.
I'll never close that door.
I won't stop until I find an explanation.
And until then…
I won't even trust you,
Director Won Sang-a.
The deceased left behind a home,
land, forests, buildings,
stocks, bonds, and cash among others.
All in all, they're worth
about 28 billion won in total.
Regarding her home
and the stocks to her company,
she chose her great-niece,
Ms. Oh In-kyung…
as the sole inheritor.
As for the rest of the assets,
she wanted them to be equally distributed
among the other family members.
Moving on to her liabilities.
Here's the list.
A mortgage of 12 billion won.
Secured loans and mortgage trusts
of 19.5 billion won.
Hold on, her liabilities…
That's more than
the total worth of her assets.
Including bonds, her liabilities are
estimated to be 36 billion won.
That's ridiculous.
So basically, all she had was debt.
Let me have a look.
In this case, the fastest and simplest way
would be to disclaim--
-I'll disclaim the inheritance.
-I see.
I'll disclaim the inheritance too.
But that means the debt can be transferred
to the other inheritors.
If one of you accepts the inheritance
under the benefit of inventory--
We've already disclaimed the inheritance,
so count us out.
I'll do it.
I believe that's what the deceased
would have wanted as well.
If you allow me,
I'll take care of the rest.
Aunt Hye-seok was always fond of In-kyung,
wasn't she?
In-kyung was always such a smart girl.
How long have you been here?
Who did it?
I don't know.
You warned me that night,
saying I would be in danger.
That's how you could be there
before anyone else.
You knew something was going to happen,
didn't you?
Now that I think of it,
you were never startled by any of this.
Don't play dumb.
We both know that's bullshit.
I'm sincerely sorry about your loss.
But I really didn't know.
To tell you the truth,
I'm just as startled as you are.
Tell me who did it
or I won't go to Singapore.
Will you call this a minor inconvenience
and tell me to put up with it?
I already made plans
for when you decided not to go.
You don't have to push yourself.
Be upset with me
for once.
Don't you see that I'm upset with you?
Let's split ninety-ten. No, hundred-zero.
You can take it all.
I'll give you all that money,
so find who killed my great-aunt.
Find out who killed Hwa-young
and my great-aunt.
Once they're behind bars,
the money is all yours.
I have a week
before I fly out to Singapore.
I won't be able to find
the culprit by then.
Even if I did,
we might not be able to secure
any solid evidence.
And even if we do find evidence,
the money will still be split sixty-forty
just as we promised before.
I promised to keep you safe
until I leave for Singapore, remember?
Are you saying
that you'll look into who the culprit is?
I'm telling you to be ready
to leave for Singapore anytime.
I was going to put off grieving for her
for the time being.
Because there's a lot to do.
I wanted to cry after finding out
why Great-Aunt died.
But this was too much.
She went bankrupt because of me.
It's not your fault.
It's Park Jae-sang's fault.
To Great-Aunt,
her company was like her child.
Seeing her business fail would have been
more painful to her than dying.
She wanted me to take over her company
and keep it prosperous for a long time.
That was why she raised me.
How will I make up for this?
You don't need to.
You didn't do anything wrong.
It's not sadness I feel.
It's pain.
It hurts so much.
In-kyung.
If anyone should be held responsible,
it should be me, not you.
I'll take care of everything from here.
So don't let this hold you back
and get on with your life.
"Hi, In-kyung."
Here are the passwords
to her bank accounts.
These are the house keys.
This is for the sedan,
and this is for the SUV.
What is this for?
She didn't mention anything about that.
IN-KYUNG'S ROOM
I know you hate
this kind of stuff, Great-Aunt.
I do too, but I'm writing it anyway.
Thank you for raising me.
Hey, In-joo.
In-kyung, turn on the news.
The person who killed Great-Aunt
turned himself in.
To Pyeongchang-dong, please.
-Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok!
-Wait!
-Why did you kill her?
-Anything to say to her family?
It's wrong to kill someone,
but I had a good reason.
If you check out my ETube channel,
The Sinking Real Estate Market,
it'll show you why I did what I did.
I'm sure you'll understand
once you see it.
What's that bastard going on about?
Damn it!
I don't believe this.
He was in charge of
Great-Aunt's meals for years.
Mr. Cheon Sang-hyeok.
Chairwoman Oh Hye-seok said
the real estate market would never crash.
But I ended up going broke.
For the past few years,
I've prepared for this day
through physical and mental training.
Today…
I will punish the demoness
of the real estate world.
Did he start working for her
with the intention of harming her?
Did he prepare her meals for two years
because he wanted to kill her?
Cheon Sang-hyeok was well-known
in the housing market pessimist forums.
Someone could have hired him
to kill Great-Aunt.
By the way,
tell me.
What was that orchid
that we found next to Great-Aunt?
Why did you say
that it was your fault that she died?
Is there anything else you know
about her death?
Hyo-rin's mother
gave it to me that day
when she asked me
to launder her money in Singapore.
What?
She said
I could join their group
if I received the orchid.
It's called Jeongran Society.
"Jeongran Society"?
Did you see it?
Cheon Sang-hyeok's video? I did.
Did you watch it to the end?
The Most High understands me.
Goodbye then.
That's an orchid.
He must have brought
that orchid to the scene.
How dare you do this to my men?
That dump truck accident
was obviously your doing.
They need 12 weeks in the hospital
and over 8 months of rehab.
One's a newlywed
and one recently became a dad!
Can't I do this much
when I've covered for you all this time?
I warned you to leave Ms. Oh In-joo alone.
And I did. I have nothing to do with that.
Then find out what happened.
I haven't even started yet.
I've secured the transaction history
of your closest acquaintances
and their families.
You know how cold-blooded Mr. Park is
when it comes to money.
Why you…
Listen, you crazy bastard.
I guess camaraderie
doesn't mean a thing to a traitor's son.
What would Mr. Park and your men say
when they find out that you pocketed
the money for the green fund?
Camaraderie aside,
they'll think you've
stabbed them in the back.
So go and find out right now.
Or it could be you
who needs to be in rehab next.
It has to be here somewhere.
Could he have taken it back?
What if someone took it?
There's a hidden room.
Someone cleaned out the safe.
I wonder what was stored in here.
Maybe that's why she was killed.
I found it.
So it was because of this orchid.
Not the orchid that I brought.
How can a mere plant be this scary?
In-joo. I'm…
determined to get this story out.
About Jeongran Society.
And about the secret of the Blue Orchid.
People are dying or getting killed
next to the orchid.
Who are they? Why did they die?
How are they connected?
And who was it
that killed our great-aunt?
If I don't get this story out,
I might be the one to die next.
Will people believe you?
It seems farfetched
to bring the orchid into this.
We don't have
any decisive evidence either.
In-kyung.
I have 70 billion won in Singapore.
You have seven million in Singapore?
It's 70 billion.
Is it Hwa-young's money?
It's in an account
under my name in Singapore.
I'm the only person
who can withdraw it now,
so it's mine.
I'm going there to get it in a week.
I know you wouldn't like it,
but that money will help us
find a safe place for us sisters
after you publish that story.
We should go to Singapore with In-hye.
Then I'll give you the ledgers.
Write a perfect story using that
and bring them all down.
What do you say?
What about me?
Won't I be in danger too?
Deal.
SEOUL MAYORAL PRIMARY ELECTION
RESULT ANNOUNCEMENT
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
Dear party members
and the great citizens of Seoul,
who was my enemy in this election?
It was none other than myself.
Who am I?
A serial killer.
The son of a miner. A breadwinner.
A lawyer who fought
for pneumoconiosis patients
and Agent Orange victims.
-I, Park Jae-sang, will fight for Seoul.
-Doesn't that sound familiar?
-It does.
-I will stop at nothing.
-Who is our enemy in this war?
-Who was my enemy in this election?
-It is ourselves.
-It was none other than myself.
Who were we
before we came to the battlefield?
Who am I?
The sentences have the same structure.
-…factory workers.
-Shoe repairers!
-Miners!
-Farmers!
-Carpenters!
-Sailors!
Hold on a second.
I think I just saw Great-Aunt.
Was she ever in Vietnam?
My father breathed on his own?
We had the TV on because we thought
the General would like it.
And right at this part of the speech…
Who am I?
The son of a miner.
PARK WINS PRIMARIES WITH 42.5% OF VOTES
A breadwinner.
A lawyer who fought
for pneumoconiosis patients
and Agent Orange victims.
He breathed on his own
for about 20 minutes.
It's unlikely that he'll fully
recover his consciousness,
but this is quite encouraging.
He's been listening to us.
He's doing his best
to come back to this world.
Father, you told me this
on the day of our marriage.
"From now on, I'm your father."
You breathed on your own
after I won the primaries.
So please wake up when I become the mayor.
Being the mayor won't cut it.
You'd need to become the president.
He'll survive until then, right?
We'll make sure he does.
-Let's keep that on.
-We will.
The General seems to like it.
He has to keep listening to that?
Until you become the president?
Fine, I'll try to make it happen
as soon as possible.
Did you attend
Chairwoman Oh's funeral yesterday?
Yes.
We were supposed to visit
the disability center.
I was worried when you canceled
because of a headache.
But I did have a headache.
Can't you see?
Look how far I've come for you.
Defeating my enemies
and making new friends along the way.
I wanted to become a man worthy of you.
So please help me out a little.
The only reason you married me
was that I was the daughter of a general.
You thought even a driver's son
could become the president
if they married me.
That's not true.
I didn't marry you
to become the president.
I want to become the president
because I love you.
You've always been my dream.
And you're more beautiful now
than when you married me at 25.
I can't do this alone.
We achieved our first victory today.
Tonight…
I really need you.
You're the only one who can help me.
Please.
Can you not touch me
at a moment like this?
When am I allowed to touch you then?
Sometimes…
you remind me of your father.
You're so persistent…
and repulsive.
Sorry.
Did I wake you up?
What's that noise?
My parents are fighting again.
Damn it!
-Let go of me!
-What's wrong?
-Let go!
-Let's go inside.
Leave me alone! Let go of me!
Please, leave me alone!
Let go!
I said, let go!
Let's go there.
Where we couldn't go before.
Are you sure this is it?
Yes.
I'm sure this is where I saw it.
Great-Aunt fought as an American.
"Lieutenant Oh Hye-seok."
She was discharged in 1970.
Did these people meet in the Vietnam War?
KIM DAL-SU
DISCHARGED IN 1970
All of them fought in the Vietnam War,
but in different units.
Then how did they meet each other?
KIM JEONG-GU, GANG DU-HAN,
PARK IL-BOK, LEE IL-HWA, JEONG GU-MYEON
At the hospital.
Twelve. There are twelve of them.
That's General Won Gi-seon.
This is an American field hospital.
Why were Korean soldiers there?
Young Ariadne looks so different
from how she looks now.
How so?
She looks cheerful, childlike,
and somewhat kind.
Does my mom look mean now?
I wonder what happened.
What's this?
Someone has been cut out.
Here too.
And here.
Who could it be?
JEONGRAN SOCIETY
GO JU-WON, PARK IL-BOK
Long ago, during the Vietnam War,
there was a nurse
and a platoon consisting of 12 soldiers.
When they returned to Korea,
they started to die one by one
as if they had fallen
while fighting an invisible war.
And…
since our great-aunt has passed away…
Apart from General Won Gi-seon,
the only survivor is…
Choi Hee-jae, who went missing in 1998.
CHOI HEE-JAE
I need to talk to him.
How will you find someone
who went missing?
You know what?
After he went missing,
his son inherited his land,
and the son's name is Choi Do-il.
Could it be the Choi Do-il we know?
They were born in the same year.
What?
CHOI DO-IL
123-1, HONGSIN-DONG, GWANAK-GU, SEOUL
Let's go meet Choi Do-il's mother first
since we know where she is for sure.
This is it.
I used to play with this as a kid.
It really does look exactly the same.
CLOSED ROOM
"Closed room."
Come to think of it…
there's no door.
I told the housekeeper
to take the day off.
I canceled all my morning plans too.
There's something I need to tell you.
Your mom
is sick.
She has a terrible headache.
She'll stay in her room for a while.
Her doctor said she shouldn't see anyone
until she gets better.
Will Mom be staying
in a closed room all by herself?
She'll get better in a few days.
We should help her out.
How do we do that?
By enjoying each day that's given to us.
In-hye.
Can you help Hyo-rin?
I'd really appreciate it if you did.
Who are you two?
What is it you want to tell me
about my son?
Are you trying to blackmail me?
No, we aren't.
We're not here to make a deal either.
I don't like to exaggerate.
I'm here to tell you the facts.
Go ahead.
Can I start by talking about you?
It'll naturally lead to your son.
Keep it short or I'll get bored.
The murder of Hongsin-dong Resident
Compensation Committee's chairman.
On August 9, 1998, at 9 p.m.,
a man in his seventies was murdered
in the Hongsin-dong
Redevelopment Association office.
He was struck three times in the head
from behind with a hammer
and died instantly.
You hid in the mountains all night
and were arrested the next morning.
The weapon was found at the scene.
Because your confession
matched the evidence,
and because the murder was
brutal and premeditated,
you received a 30-year sentence.
And why are you bringing this up?
What I find strange about this
is that you're not someone who is capable
of taking another person's life.
Do you not know?
All murderers were once ordinary people.
Most female murderers choose
poisoning or suffocation.
They prefer to suffocate sleeping victims
with a pillow or a plastic bag.
Then what if I'm upset
but can't find any poison
or a pillow nearby?
What if the hammer was all I had?
No one had ever seen that hammer
in the office before.
The police also found
a receipt showing that you had bought
the hammer a month earlier.
It was premeditated.
And this is what I find the most puzzling.
All premeditated crimes have a purpose.
But look what happened.
The redevelopment sped up,
but you've been in prison
for over 20 years.
I didn't think I'd get caught.
That's ridiculous.
Young people don't seem to understand
that life doesn't always go as planned.
I've racked my brain over and over
to find a way to clear up my suspicion.
And there's only one explanation
that makes sense to me.
You were acting your part in a show
that was set in Hongsin-dong.
And someone was running the show
from behind the curtains.
"When you get to
the top floor of the parking lot,
make sure there isn't anyone around."
"Then call the office
and see if anyone answers."
You moved there
only three months before the murder.
Your neighbors testified that they heard
hammering sounds for a month.
Were you practicing?
Everyone makes mistakes
during their first murder,
but the scene was way too clean.
Your son, who happened to be
sleeping over at his friend's that day,
received a scholarship
to study in the States a few months later.
If this is why you're here,
I don't want to hear it.
-You're wasting my--
-Your son…
I heard he never visited you in prison.
I told him not to.
He will be in danger
in the near future.
What are you saying?
Ledgers containing records
of a slush fund will be exposed.
Two people have died already.
The bookkeeper who managed the ledgers
for the last 25 years
and the accounting manager.
Who do you think will be framed
and killed next?
Just so you know,
your son is currently
the accounting manager.
And the person in charge of the ledgers
is me.
Do you now understand
why we insisted on meeting you?
So?
What's your plan?
We'll expose Jeongran Society
to the world.
That's impossible.
It's possible if you help us.
If you do that,
you'll end up dead too.
All these years,
you've refused to meet anyone.
I think that's because
you regret what you did
and have been living in remorse.
But what made it possible for you
to endure all those years?
If something were to happen to your son…
Since then, I've seen my son just once.
It was while I was in custody.
He kept asking me the same question.
But…
I couldn't give him an answer.
Because…
I couldn't lie to him.
I have wondered for over 20 years
whether he never came to see me
because I didn't answer his question.
Please tell Do-il this.
My answer to his question is…
"no."
Tell him that if he wants
to find the evidence,
he should start at Baramjae
and head northeast by 23 degrees
for one kilometer.
I'm certain
that he'll know what I mean.
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
-Park Jae-sang!
Oh In-joo and Oh In-kyung
visited An So-yeong
at the Cheongju Correctional Center
for Women an hour ago.
-What?
-Should I get rid of them?
They're not the problem.
Have your best men tail Choi Do-il.
Yes, sir.
I went to see your mother.
Who?
Your mother, Ms. An So-yeong.
What the hell are you up to?
She asked me to tell you
that her answer to your question
from 20 years ago
is "no."
And this is where you should go
to find evidence.
Forget about Singapore.
Our deal is off.
Don't contact me ever again.
Before my great-aunt passed away,
I asked her about Park Il-bok.
You know something, don't you?
Is it about Park Jae-sang's father?
That man wouldn't have let you
come to his house
just to share his childhood memories.
There are other secrets, right?
Park Il-bok was a very tidy man.
He hated seeing anyone needlessly suffer.
For that reason,
he helped many people.
This is all I can tell you
about Park Il-bok.
The scene of the Hongsin-dong murder
is said to have been unusually clean.
The victim did not needlessly suffer
and he died instantly.
Here's my plan.
Once I withdraw 70 billion won
in Singapore,
my sister will publish her story
about Jeongran Society
along with the slush fund ledgers.
There will be no negotiations.
And I won't turn a blind eye
to Hwa-young's death either.
You can get your revenge too.
The real culprit
is Park Jae-sang's father, Park Il-bok.
Once we reveal the evidence,
Park Jae-sang's political career
will be over.
I've always been curious as to why
people would want to take revenge
when there is a safer,
more dignified alternative.
So why would they put themselves at risk?
I don't get it…
but I'll give you this.
Cheon Sang-hyeok's ex-wife and daughter
will move into a new apartment next month.
You can find the details in there.
I'm giving it to you because I don't care
about your safety anymore.
From now on,
your life will be in danger.
I…
had my life on the line from the start.
I've been risking my life,
galloping on a horse.
And I still believe
that my horse can jump over the fence.
Call me.
We weren't the only ones following him.
It's from a graduation exhibit
for Stage Art Design majors
at the New York School of Theater.
The artist is Won Sang-a.
It was made in 1995.
That's way before Hwa-young died.
Why did my mom
make something this terrifying?
"The room that I locked myself up in
a long time ago."
"I can never…
leave this room."
What if…
my mom dies like this?
She's locked up in the room right now.
She won't die
because we know about this now.
We have to stop her.
I'm scared.
IN-HYE
It's Won Sang-a.
I'm locked up.
My husband is very dangerous right now.
I'll escape from this place
no matter what.
Go to Singapore
and prepare some cash for me.
I'll join you with the kids soon.
This building had been abandoned for years
until I bought it recently.
This building will be demolished soon.
It's safer to rebuild from scratch
after everything's been demolished.
I wanted to show it to you
before that happened.
What for?
I was hoping you could imagine
how this run-down building
will be replaced
by something much more magnificent.
I'm not smart enough
to understand what you mean.
I'll never hurt Hyo-rin or her mother
under any circumstances.
I can give up everything
for the two of them.
And you can also be a part of our family
if you decide that's what you want.
But you must understand that two buildings
can't be built in the same place.
The old building must be
completely demolished.
Only then can we build
something much more beautiful.
Many things will happen
in the next few days.
I'm curious to see
how well you will endure them.
Anyone home?
Sir, we're lost.
Could you please give us directions?
Go 800m east and you'll come to a fence.
You'll find yourselves back on the trail
if you follow it.
Come here, sweetie.
In-kyung!
In-kyung, are you okay?
VIETNAM WAR CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
You must be a Vietnam War veteran.
-Don't touch that.
-I'm sorry.
VIETNAM WAR SURVIVORS
MANAGER LEE YONG-GWI
It's done.
Thank you.
Could we have some tea together?
Don't ever come near this place again.
Mr. Choi Hee-jae.
My name is Oh In-kyung.
I'm a freelancer now,
but I used to be a reporter at OBN.
I'm covering a story about General Won
and Jeongran Society.
I don't think this story
should remain untold.
Is there anything you can tell us?
I'll make sure
you remain completely anonymous.
That dog might have rabies.
Who knows what it's infected with,
given how much it roams about?
If I were you,
I'd get some medicine right away.
If you end up with tetanus,
you might lose your arm.
Leave immediately.
If I had known,
I wouldn't have even treated you.
We should go.
But still, how could you
let that dog bite you?
If I hadn't, we wouldn't have even
made it inside that house.
Did you get everything?
You must be out of your mind.
I wanted to show him
what kind of reporter I am.
Wait and see.
He'll call me.
I'll take you to the nearest hospital.
You could die of sepsis.
Do you know how we report typhoons?
You go to the very center of it.
Close to the sea if possible,
so you get the waves on camera.
Do you know what it feels like
when you're standing there?
You feel like you can win.
You feel like you can beat the typhoon
and survive to the end.
That's why I had a rope tied around me.
Because I didn't want people
to drag me away,
not knowing that I can win.
What if you died?
Some years,
I only felt alive during typhoons.
After a certain point,
they stopped giving me any stories
other than car accidents,
assault cases, and fires.
Instead, I wanted to cover
more important stories.
The ones that went deeper
and made much more noise.
Stories that could turn
people's lives upside down.
Seriously.
One day, you'll be the death of me.
Hold on.
VIETNAM WAR SURVIVORS
MANAGER LEE YONG-GWI
I think we found something.
In-joo.
Listen carefully, In-hye.
I'm about to tell you
something really important.
I'm leaving for Singapore in a few days.
You and In-kyung have to come too,
and we might not come back.
This is the phone you'll use then.
I withdrew as much cash as I could
just in case.
What about Hyo-rin and her mom?
They'll come too.
We'll go there and wait for them.
I don't know what you're saying.
I'll talk to In-kyung later.
Hey, the door's locked.
-Darn it. Who locked it?
-Stay here, I'll get the key.
It's your birthday today, right?
Is it?
I didn't know what to get you.
But I thought you'd want this the most.
I'm off.
I loved counting money
since I was a child.
I counted money in my head for fun.
When it was a lot of money,
I'd convert it into amounts of food.
A hundred red bean buns.
A hundred bowls of jjajangmyeon.
That was the only I could know
how much all that money was worth.
I'll remember this day.
This will be my last birthday
while being poor.
The day I bought
everything I had ever wanted.
Why did you put a tail on me?
Are you unable to trust me
because my father was a traitor?
Is there anyone I trusted more than you?
It's my father's address.
I know you've been looking for him.
Whatever you do with him,
I won't interfere.
He was a born hunter.
A born soldier.
Not many soldiers can actually
kill the enemy without hesitation.
Only about two percent of them.
Choi Hee-jae was one of the rare snipers
who could pull the trigger
while looking the target right in the eye.
It was once rumored
that there was a Special Forces unit
made up of only men like him.
And that the US Army trained them
to carry out special operations.

My goodness! Mr. Choi.
What's with that outfit?
It's my birthday today.
I know people hate it,
but this is what I wanted to wear
when I was 12.
Because girls who dressed like this
had birthday parties.
I don't care if you laugh at me.
I wore it with confidence.
I'm a woman
who has 70 billion won in Singapore.
I'll give you an important task
to show you that I still trust you.
Get rid of Ms. Oh In-joo.
As quickly and as neatly as you can.
I received an email from Singapore.
It's all in English.
It's an article about
the preview of the IOF.
It says that the preview of the auction
was attended by many VIPs
including Ms. Oh In-joo from Korea.
That's…
Hwa-young.
Is Ms. Jin Hwa-young
really dead?
Yes.
I saw her dead body with my own eyes.
She's definitely dead.
We have a problem.
Rumor has it that the paper company
that I set up under your name
is going to be investigated.
Then what will happen?
They might freeze the accounts.
But the bigger problem is
that the fake Oh In-joo might take
the 70 billion won herself.
Is it really possible…
that Hwa-young is still alive?
I'm on my way to the airport.
I'm going to Singapore to find out.
Are you coming with me or not?
I am.
Someone saw a person
who looks exactly like me.
No one looks exactly the same as you.
You must promise that you'll protect me
no matter what happens.
These accounts are all yours?
My men in Singapore
are on the move as we speak.
Don't even think about betraying me.
I'm going to kill Park Jae-sang
in front of everyone.
We can do that with the news.
That one shot you need.
In-joo seems to be in serious danger.
What do we do?
Don't ever trust anyone or anything
except for your gun and cash.
