[bunniefuu]

[All people, incidents, and backgrounds...]

[in this drama are fictitious
and unrelated to reality.]

[Also, children and animals were
filmed under production guidelines.]

She has the other person by the nuts...

and tries to have them under her control.

She thinks she holds
the initiative of this game.

She's a typical example of a narcissist.

Really? Then, let's use it in our favor...

to lure Lee Se Na out from the shadow.

Narcissists...

feel furious and impatient...

when they can't get what they want
or when their misdeeds are exposed.

They're like little kids who
cannot control their emotions.

I know.

Some kids lie down and
pester at the top of their lungs...

when their parents don't
buy them what they want.

I bet it's similar.

Right.

That's what I'm talking about.

If we make her angry and furious,

she might not know what to do...

and lose her control.

Then, she will probably show herself...

as she throws a bad tantrum.

So,

we better not do what she wants us to do.

Exactly.

Anyway, what are you going to
do about the press conference?

I think Do Hyun is right.

If we do care for him with respect,

we shouldn't take the exposal as a threat.

Do Hyun...

didn't do anything...

shameful or wrong.

Then, hold the press conference with pride.

Lee Se Na started this game.

Let's play it.

[No Yeong Won's Urgent Press Conference]

- Go back to your seats.
- Ms. No.

- Go back.
- Goodness.

I am...

a hypocrite.

What is said during
the cross-interrogation...

holds legal power, right?

That's right.

But he might be aware of it.

He'll probably be careful
not to make mistakes.

You're actually here.

All right.

Dinner.

This plan is for the
ending that will satisfy you.

You'll be released soon, so drag some time.

I wonder why you are here.

I already said no.

I said no as well.

Dr. No thinks Lee Se Na plotted this case.

But I disagree.

This is about who k*lled An Yo Sub...

and attacked me that day.

Are you saying it was me?

The vacation home was too dark that day.

No matter how much I try to remember,

I can't come up with a face.

But...

he couldn't get rid of the smell.

Wait. The smell?

Do you remember it?

According to Patrick Suskind's novel,

"Perfume,"

every human being has
their own unique scent.

And like the novel's main character,

I have an acute sense of smell.

What are you saying?

Oh, really?

This is how I reason it.

An Yo Sub always used the same cologne.

He worked at my house for 15 years,

so of course, I was aware of it.

But the man who attacked me that day...

didn't carry that scent.

How should I put it?

It was a rotten smell.

What nonsense are you saying?

It can't be evidence.

No.

I'm saying I can use
the smell to find him...

like drawing a facial composite.

The person who blackmailed
me and my family...

forced me to read this script...

which I read just now.

But I...

decided not to do what she wanted.

Try smelling this.

Me?

Compare it...

with that man's body odor.

Then, you'll understand what I mean.

Do I have to smell him?

Darn it!

Stop lying.

I didn't wear any cologne that day.

And I was...

in a fireproof suit. You couldn't
have possibly smelled me.

Bingo.

That's why I didn't
smell anything from you.

You were wrapped with something...

that kept rustling.

Isn't this a confession?

Right.

[General]

No.

No. It really wasn't me.

Lee Se Na k*lled An Yo Sub.

She k*lled him?

No. It was him.

I'm telling you! It's true.

No, it was you.

Lee Se Na wasn't at the
vacation home that day.

I didn't smell her anywhere in the place.

That's absurd.

She was there for sure.

She k*lled him...

and called No Yeong Won over.

But I called you over
before that. Do you get it?

- I see.
- Do you get it now?

What the...

What's with you people?

What is this?

- What is this?
- Come here.

You think you'll be safe?

How dare you deceive me!

You won't be safe! Hong Sa Kang!

Move.

Can you have Lee Se Na wanted openly now?

She's already been revealed.

What?

In the afternoon today,
Oh, the prime suspect...

of the vacation home m*rder case
with Dr. No Yeong Won involved,

confessed about an accomplice,

and the case entered a new phase.

During the police investigation,

Oh testified that his accomplice, Lee,

actually committed the m*rder.

According to the identification,

Lee turned out to be...

the blackmailer whom
Dr. No Yeong Won revealed...

during the press conference a while ago.

The police have decided to
search for the suspect openly.

They are analyzing
security camera footage...

and taking all means
possible to arrest the suspect.

Se Na.

It's time to admit to your sin.

What did I commit?

You made us burn!

This is why...

it was your mistake to k*ll me.

You have no one else to help you now.

You've lost.

Why did you do that to me
when I loved you so much?

Why did you do it?

You've lost.

No.

I haven't lost.

[It has been revealed
that Dr. No Yeong Won...]

[was continuously
blackmailed by the stalker, Lee.]

So Yi, check this out.

I guess people are taking my mom's side.

- It's a relief.
- I know.

Let me go to the bathroom.

Okay.

[Under Cleaning]

Who are you?

[Under Cleaning]

[Episode 12: Almost Ordinary Family]

You...

Where is my son right now?

He's sound asleep.

If you do something to him,

I'll k*ll you.

I want you to suffer a little more.

If you call the police,

your son will die.

Lee Se Na.

Lee Se Na!

- Honey.
- What's wrong?

- Are you okay?
- Dr. No.

Goodness.

[Lee Se Na, Video]

[Lee Se Na]

- My gosh.
- Do Hyun!

Oh, goodness.

No...

No.

Do Hyun.

When I tap this button, boom.

I don't have to explain more, do I?

If you want to save him,

come to the vacation home
alone before the sunrise.

Don't do anything stupid, or your son...

will face the loneliest
death in this world.

We must... Wait, Dr. No. Just a moment.

Mother. I must hurry there.

I must go for our Do Hyun!

I'll go with you. I can't let you go alone.

No.

We don't know what will happen to him then.

I can't let you go there alone!

- No.
- Everyone, calm down!

I know how you feel,
Dr. No. But just a second.

When Jae Jin was assumed dead,

I thought cool-headedly
and ended up finding him.

Lee Se Na is starting a game with us.

Do Hyun may not be at the vacation home.

- Please calm down.
- Sit down.

Sit down.

Here. Look at this.

Look.

There's a small window here.

The wall behind him
is higher than it's seen.

It means they're in a basement room.

But the vacation home
has no basement floor.

Then, could he be somewhere else?

If he's not at the vacation home...

We just have to find Do Hyun...

before the sunrise.

We still have time.

Oh, goodness.

We can take care of this for sure.

I know we can handle this together.

I usually don't work during bedtime.

You are a sleepyhead. I barely woke you up.

You'll sleep for good once you die.

Why don't you focus
a little and help us out?

You said you were a private detective.

There's no time. What do you
think about Do Hyun's situation?

He's not at the vacation home.

It has no basement floor.

We can't be sure that
he's on a basement floor.

It could be a warehouse or a
container down an empty lot.

I don't hear any cars. It might
be a quiet countryside area.

A private detective is different, indeed.

Given Lee Se Na's tendency or pattern,

she doesn't play a game
that cannot be solved.

That means it's somewhere related to her.

Maybe she left a message in the video.

You know, psychopaths
enjoy throwing messages.

It's how they feel a sense of superiority.

Well... "Don't do anything stupid,"

"or your son will face the
loneliest death in this world."

He will die lonely?

Why did she include
the word, lonely, there?

I think she left a clue unconsciously.

For Lee Se Na, the loneliest place...

was her home.

Then, Lee Se Na's house?

The house that was caught
on fire when she was little.

I wonder if it's still there.

The house in Gangneung.

Lee Se Na purchased it.

Then, let's go straight to Gangneung.

But she owns another house in Ganghwa.

It's where her third husband
was burned to death.

Why is he saying that at this timing?

It may not be her house.

The orphanage she frequents.
That's another possibility.

It's close to the vacation home.

Then, I'll head to the orphanage first.

I'll check the place and go
straight to the vacation home.

Go there without me.
I'll follow you right away.

Then, I'll head to
Gangneung with Madam Hong.

We'll head to Ganghwa, then.

Right. Let's split up.

Dr. No, head to the vacation home.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Check that side.
- Okay.

Do Hyun.

Do Hyun.

Do Hyun!

Do Hyun!

Did you find him?

No. He's not here.

Is there another space
on the basement floor?

[Thursday, January 4]

Do Hyun.

Hey! Young Min!

Okay. Go to the vacation home for now.

We have to cross out the house in Ganghwa.

- I think we got the right place.
- Right.

[Jae Jin]

Jae Jin. Did you find him?

It's not the orphanage.

I see.

I think I have to go inside.

I'll head to the vacation home right away.

Be careful not to get caught.

We shouldn't provoke her,
so don't come too close.

Honey.

- Be careful.
- Okay.

Where is Do Hyun?

I've missed you, Dr. No.

I asked where Do Hyun is.

You got the order wrong.

We need to talk first.

Yes.

What is it that you want to tell me?

My family abandoned
me saying I was a monster.

Then you said...

I should cut off a ruined family.

Was I more wrong than those
people who tried to cut me off?

That's a misunderstanding.

What I meant was...

to avoid living in pain...

just because you were family.

Be quiet.

It's my turn to speak.

So I was curious...

if you'd cut your family
off after admitting...

that they were ruined.

Is that what you want?

Then I will do that.

Spare Do Hyun's life.

That's not the answer I want.

Why are you holding it back?

Why are you trying to protect them?

Your parents-in-law who
k*lled your dad and fooled you,

your husband who lived a fake life,

and your son who lied to you! Why?

Why are you not abandoning them?

Now...

answer me.

[Mother]

Yes, Mother?

He's not at the orphanage either.

No?

Then he's got to be here.

What about Dr. No?

I think she's in the vacation home.

Yes, Dr. Choi.

I will find Do Hyun.

You have to protect Dr. No,
okay? I'll call you back.

Okay.

Yes.

You might think I'm a hypocrite. No.

I know I look like a hypocrite to you.

But they had no choice but to do that...

in order to protect this family.

I have no doubt about that.

That is the definition of a ruined family.

It is a ruined family.

But now,

I look back at each person...

in the name of family.

Enough to live as a ruined family.

No.

You're lying to me.

You want to abandon them,
but you're refraining yourself.

I want to abandon them now.

But I finally...

understand what it means to be a family.

I mean that.

Don't say you understand!

You said they were ruined!

You know what?

My family never tried to
understand me for once.

They said I was ruined,
and it was all my fault!

Your family didn't abandon you.

Your wrongful obsession made them leave.

I can still help you.

So let's get out of here together.

I know the reason...

I wasn't loved.

But still...

For at least once...

I wanted a family who'd
never abandon me to the end.

Mom!

- Mr. Park.
- Yes.

Do Hyun's in here.

Give me a moment.

Do Hyun!

Do Hyun!

Yes! In here!

I'm in here!

Here!

I'm in here!

Perhaps...

we're standing at the same point.

We dreamed and expected a perfect family.

But we finally realized...

that was wrong.

It's not too late yet.

We can create it together.

I'll help you.

Okay?

So spare Do Hyun's life.

Please.

What the heck?

You almost brainwashed me.

So the point is, you can't cut them off?

Then I'll cut them off for you.

No!

Live in the pain of k*lling your son.

My Do Hyun... Save my Do Hyun!

My Do Hyun!

Where...

No.

My Do Hyun!

No...

Do Hyun...

Do Hyun!

Do Hyun!

Do Hyun!

My Do Hyun... Bring back my Do Hyun!

Bring back my Do Hyun!

My Do Hyun...

Bring back my Do Hyun!

My Do Hyun... Bring back my Do Hyun!

My Do Hyun... Bring back my Do Hyun!

Do Hyun!

We need to get out of here!

We saved Do Hyun. He's alive.

Do Hyun is alive.

Do Hyun is alive.

Let's get out of here.

In the end, I'm alone again.

If I'd met someone,

would I have a family who'd
never let me go like you?

Goodbye, Dr. No Yeong Won.

We have to go.

Mom.

- Do Hyun.
- Mom.

Are you okay?

Honey. Are you okay?

Yeong Won.

Yeong Won.

Dr. No.

I should've burned that darn
vacation home to ashes...

a long time ago.

You could've died there.

Yeong Won.

What about Lee Se Na?

A witch is bound to be burned to death.

It was horrible.

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun?

Why are you forgiven so easily?

Because of you,

my life was full of pain.

Ji Eun. Let's talk outside.

What about my sufferings?

What about my pain?

It's nothing to you people, isn't it?

You treated me like your own.

You told me so many times
that you counted on me.

Why is it No Yeong Won?

Why can't it be me?

I...

devoted my everything too.

It should've been me.

It should've been me!

- Ji Eun.
- Don't.

Ji Eun.

It's all right.

It's okay. It's all right.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay. Jae Jin.

- But you...
- I'm okay.

What's wrong with her? Goodness.

You're awake.

Did you hate me enough to want to k*ll me?

Too bad. I'm not dead.

I understand how you feel, and I mean it.

I'm sorry, Ji Eun.

Oh, come on.

I shouldn't have done that to you.

I called you family, but I used you.

Saying that I counted on
you, I forced you to sacrifice.

I obviously knew that
you were dying to be loved.

Have you...

thought of me...

as part of your family at least for once?

Perhaps, I wanted to
be part of your family...

more than how much I liked Jae Jin.

I wanted to be your family.

Right.

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun.

Why don't we forget about
what happened today...

and spend...

a little more time with each other?

Ji Eun.

Ji Eun. You should come too.

Gosh. Uncle?

Did you come after hearing the news?

I didn't call you in case you'd worry.

Let me go see Ji Eun first.

Wait.

Yes?

Mr. Gu.

Gosh. Don't make it feel
awkward all of a sudden, Uncle.

I am...

not Ji Eun's uncle.

What?

Stop joking already.

This is the hospital,
and Ji Eun is not well.

- Okay? Uncle.
- Goodness.

- It's...
- What...

a long story to tell.

Lee, the real culprit of the
vacation home m*rder case,

set a fire on the vacation home,
where she committed the m*rder,

and k*lled herself.

Now the vacation home m*rder case...

is left only with the trial...

of Oh, the accomplice.

The police already
secured Lee's confession.

It's all over now.

I'm sorry for everything.

I know you can't forgive me,

but do let me know if there's
a way to put things back.

I'll try.

Will we...

be able to go back to how we were before?

I don't think forgiveness matters.

Let's forget...

about dedicating our lives to someone...

for some time.

It doesn't look like a cross at all,
so why is it called cross-stitching?

Turn it a little. Then,
it'd look like a cross.

I see. I get it.

I didn't know about that.

On a day like today,

it'd be so nice if your dad were with us.

Mom.

You came back?

Is it you?

What...

Doctor.

He's still very sick.

I have an incurable disease, Mom.

I'm sorry, Mom.

How do I do this?

But I couldn't help it.

Dad...

shouldn't have done it
because he was a dad.

Even so,

I should've embraced him
and faced things with him.

Would he...

understand me now, Mom?

Goodness.

Doctor.

My mom said...

that moms and dads forgive everything.

And that...

it's nice to cry from time to time.

It's the lady who reads me books.

Madam Hong?

I heard you visited her from time to time.

I visited once in a while. Not so often.

Would you give this to your mother?

Thank you.

What do you say?

This means you can help yourselves
with what each of you wants.

I love it.

Children.

All along, I thought...

a family must gather together...

at the table at all times.

But I saw it somewhere...

that since a family started
not to have breakfast together,

it became much more peaceful.

What kind of family are they?

All along,

I forced you in order to make...

the kind of family I wanted.

It rather resulted in keeping you in cages.

So as of today,

I will no longer be this family's keeper.

I've decided to leave the house.

- What?
- Mother.

Let's be faithful to each of our lives now.

Have you watched the movie, "Avatar?"

I see you.

I see what you have in mind.

I know very well about you kids.

I see you.

Perhaps, the true meaning of love...

is just to watch the other person.

Then, is this...

our last time eating all together?

Let's gather and eat together...

when we want, okay?

All right. Toast.

Let's eat.

Okay.

Mr. Choi Jae Jin.

Are you saying you instructed
Vice-Director Oh Ji Eun...

to perform ghost surgery yourself?

Yes.

Vice-Director Oh only did me a favor.

And you will give up on your
license to take responsibility?

Yes.

I have no right to be a doctor.

Ghost surgery isn't the only reason.

I turned a blind eye on bleeding patients.

[1 year later]

As the voice recording was revealed...

after 29 years since the case was closed,

the real culprit...

of the late Director No Sun
h*'s embezzlement case...

was found to be Chairman Hwang Kyung Ju.

[Prison Ground]

[If you have hope, you can start again.]

What brought you here? I
said nothing would change.

- You could've refused to come.
- I refuse.

Too bad. It's no use.

I'm in charge of counseling
the prisoners here now.

- What?
- So...

let's take it easy. You're
going to see me anyway.

Why? Why did you quit
your successful clinic?

Are you worried about me?

You ruined my successful life.

That was all because of you!

Do you have an intermittent
expl*sive disorder?

You raise your voice habitually.

I can get angry too, you know.

What...

Okay.

I will...

get the counseling.

But let me ask you one thing.

Go on.

Did you really try to save Lee Se Na?

Why?

She harassed you so much.

She wanted to be loved
and accepted by her family.

That alone wasn't a sin.

Maybe I wanted to let her know
that she deserved to be loved.

I couldn't save Lee Se Na.

But I'm going to save you.

Look.

It's such a beautiful world.

You shouldn't lock yourself in from it.

Why don't you start studying again?

You're good at math.

I am.

Aren't you tired?

Hi.

- Hello.
- Hello.

[Shelter for Abandoned Dogs, Dodam Dodam]

There you go.

[Shelter for Abandoned Dogs, Dodam Dodam]

Let's go in.

- Sir.
- What is it?

It was rescued today.

I see. Let me see.

Come. How old is it?

I'm glad you're here.

You aren't abandoned. Okay?

So Yi, what time is it in Korea?

It's 11am.

Why aren't you going home?

I just left the library.

I'm going to head home after this call.

Hi, So Yi.

What the... You guys are always together.

Of course. When are you coming?

When I go there, will I
have a place to sleep?

Our house is spacious enough.

Are you sure you're coming next month?

Yes. That's why I'm working hard even now.

I'll call you again later.

Let's go.

Hi, Ra Kyung.

- It's already lunchtime.
- Soon.

You will get really busy.

Where are you?

Me? I'm at a bookstore.

I want to help Oh Tae
Hwan start studying again.

When will you stop doing
that prison counseling?

If the store goes under, you
might have to run your clinic again.

The fortune-teller said it'd go successful.

Is So Yi doing well?

Yes. Thanks to her pretty looks,

we have a lot of boy students.

Oh, right. The fortune-teller said...

you should head to the east.

You'd find someone valuable
for you there. I'll call you later.

- Hello.
- Hello, Kyung Tae.

- The same order as always?
- Yes. Thank you.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- I bought coffee for you.
- Thank you.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

- Bye.
- Goodbye.

Is the director busy again today?

You know a lot of patients
want her to perform their surgery.

Goodness. I'm worried she
might collapse at this rate.

She'll be done with
surgery and come out soon.

Really? Oh, right.

- Have some sushi.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Honey.

You must be tired.

You said you were busy.

I always have enough time to see you.

What is it this time, Young Min?

I'm just looking after
my sister who lives alone.

That doesn't sound like my brother at all.

Yeong Won.

What do you still take me
for? You know so well about me.

I have an idea to suggest.

What do you say to a
counseling table in our store?

You can counsel customers
like tarot readers in coffee shops.

Young Min. I don't want to
give you any more beatings.

Just focus on running the business.

What?

She hung up on me. Darn.

But it's a brilliant idea. I
can't believe she said no.

Are you crying?

Young Min.

Don't we have any days off?

Why? Are you tired already?

Have you forgotten?

Look, punk.

You were full of complaints...

when your uncle went around
without even opening the restaurant.

That's because he hardly kept it open.

That's not it.

You had passion.

You were desperate to serve
your noodles to customers.

That desperation and passion.

Where has that passion gone?

That passion?

- Passion.
- Passion.

Okay. I will work hard to make the noodles.

- There you go.
- Yes.

[Chapter 5: Trap, Chapter


[Everyone makes the same reaction
when asked about their family.]

"That is why I've decided
to leave the house."

My family members all looked confused...

by my announcement.

Right. It wasn't an announcement
made by someone else.

It's understandable how they
would be surprised to hear this...

from someone who was
obsessed about having...

a happy family.

But why do I...

finally feel relieved by this sight?

My family members who
stood in front of the house...

looked at our house for one last time.

Like a spirit being released...

from the cage that has
been keeping us trapped,

I left that massive creation...

after saying my last goodbyes.

["La Vie Est" by Jeong Mi Jo]

I decided not to tell my
family where I was headed.

I was grateful for their consideration...

of not asking where I was going.

I am covered by an endless
range of snowy mountains.

The wind is dancing between
me and the mountains.

There must be a certain
distance for the wind to dance.

Now, the refreshing wind...

will dance between me and my family.

Free from expectation and obsession,

it will move freely out of love...

as we face each other from a distance.

[Emergency closure, Road
closed due to snow and ice]

["Great Expectations"]

It smells great.

I can't believe you found me.

I'm quite surprised.

You didn't even tell Jae
Jin where you were staying.

Having to be taken care of as his mother...

I don't want to pressure
my own son into that.

I felt a bit disappointed.

The two of us...

shared a sense of comradeship.

You're right about that.

We'll just think we've scattered
now that the w*r is over.

A year has passed already.

Really?

That short but intense moment.

Those dreadful times...

have given us an opportunity.

A "Great Opportunity?"

That book...

Right. You said this...

after reading this when you were young.

"Unconditional love..."

"will be determined as soon
a sacrifice has been made."

You remember that?

You were so smart.

You see,

I misunderstood my
obsession for the family...

as if it was...

a sacrifice for the family.

I also...

didn't want to break that fantasy...

that our family was perfect.

Now that time has passed,

I don't get why I stuck onto that so much.

A home is not a place but
the people who put it together.

But Mother,

it would've been hard to decide...

to be away from the family.

You surprised me once again.

I have a bit more experience, you see.

You still have a long way to go.

You aren't preparing for
another w*r with me, are you?

No.

Didn't you know that I was a pacifist?

Oh, really?

That's unexpected.

When you feel lonely,

come to us whenever you want.

Our family...

is in a different form now,

but it hasn't disappeared.

Sa Kang.

Do you want to see what I've found?

Flowers have bloomed...

even in the snow.

Oh, hello.

You won't be short of any corn guksu here.

What a relief.

Dr. No.

We were still great partners.

Shouldn't it be in present form?

We must be the only
mother-in-law and daughter-in-law...

who help each other out like this.

Is your family well?

The problem is what the standard...

of being "well" is.

Have I not trapped that
standard of being "well..."

with words like happiness, harmony,

and perfection?

I finally get it.

There is no such thing as a broken family.

There are just bad expectations.

Our family has decided...

to be free from those bad expectations...

and practice being strangers.

I believe in this.

Love will not end...

even though our family is separated.

And if anyone asks...

if my family is well,

I can answer that question...

feeling a lot more lighthearted.

Slipping down...

wasn't so bad.
