01x09 - Episode 9

[bunniefuu]

[All characters, organizations, events, religions, etc. Portrayed in this series are strictly fictional.]

Kang Se Yeon, an ordinary housewife.

Found the DNA of Kang Se Yeon's husband Oh Young-chan -

in the m*rder weapon golf club.

She is in the middle of filing for a divorce.

Sung Mi Do, famous influencer.

"Would it be a crime if I took only one bad guy while I'm dying?"

After posting this on her page, it was immediately deleted.

"LE Group Director Koo Ji Pyo is scheduled to marry."

Pyo In Sook, a skin scrubber. The suspect Ha Yong Geun's neighbor.

The main character relating to the entire case.

A relationship with Min Woo Cheon, who was the main suspect.

It's a trap.

This three woman is at Achimui Bit Hospice.

[Three Women]

No, I can't conclude that it's serial m*rder.

Do you think it's a copycat crime?

Nothing is visible without accurate evidence

From the first victim, Ha Yong Geun to the second victim, Park Doo Jin,

have something in common that they are perpetrators of child sexual violence cases.

The target is clear and the signal is the same.

There's no progress in the investigation of the first m*rder case.

The criticism of the police's ineptitude, and the wild support

- for the Rose Moss Serial k*ller–
- Since we're out of time, I will be stopping here.

Team Leader, please wait a minute!

Park Doo Jin, who was released after serving 13 years in prison on the charge of child sexual abuse,

has been found dead.

It leaves me speechless thinking how he ruined a child's life and was planning to live off of welfare benefits

since he died like that, and it's not really right to say this, but

it's quite refreshing to be honest.

Good job. It's better for such a person to die.

A woman who is getting divorced prior to dying.

A woman who is going to get married, and a woman in love.

What's going on here?

These are the violent crime detectives that have been dispatched to the regional investigation unit as of today.

Greet each other gradually. You will need more man-power for investigation, now that this has become a serial m*rder case.

- Excuse me?
- Weren't these three women near the scene of Park Doo Jin's m*rder?

- And Jo Si Yeong is on his way there?
- Yes.

- But to judge so simply–
- Simply?

- Simply?
- We should make judgements

following an examination of the crime scene inspection's results.

For the culprit to reveal their movement path while committing a serial m*rder

and remaining at the crime scene is just...

Don't think of criminals as being impressively calculative.

That girl that is getting married said herself,

"Would it be a crime to take one bad guy with me while I'm dying?"

So the three of them went.

But at that time, a hitman who received a commission

came and labored in vain.

At any rate, people were so happy after they k*lled that guy.

They were raving! You know how serial K*llers go crazy for that kind of thing.

"Oh, really? Let's k*ll more!"

An even worse guy, Park Doo Jin. It's quite simple.

That hasn't been proven.

Because it hasn't been proven yet.

Mess them up. Mess them up and take them in, the three women,

and Min Woo Cheon.

This is an abuse of power!

Abuse of power! Abuse of power!

We are not criminals!

We are not! We are not! We are not!

Please be quiet.

Why are you riding this back?

Are are you supervising us right now?

You'll know once we get there.

- We are dying!
- We are dying! We are dying!

It's a trap.

When you said trap,

what did you mean?

Let's not talk right now, we need to buy time.

We could be framed for a second m*rder.

[You can rest by throwing your body into the ocean to get a good rest.]

[Police]

It's all over. Things are going to get worse.

I'm saying this one last time for your benefit, so listen up.

Don't fight a fight that you can't win, hurry up and get out of it.

Don't play around with the phone. Think about your family.

- Please hurry on inside!
- Be careful.

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please hurry inside!

Head in. Hurry, hurry!

I'm sorry! Yes, yes, hurry up and get inside.

Gather.

- Okay, listen up.
- Excuse me.

Yes?

- You're being rude.
- Veronica, stop it.

Wait a second, they're being too mean!

I don't think you have the right to order around the patients. It's not like they're prisoners.

Yes, that's true.

I'm sorry.

How rude.

What is it? What's going on?

You– Why are you over there?

What happened?

We are in the middle of investigating Ha Yong Geun's m*rder case.

Yeah, you've been doing that since before.

But why are you doing it here? Who are you investigating?

You? Why are you over there?

Do you happen to know In Sook?

Wait.

So that day, you weren't just passing by...

Grandma, let's go in first. I'll explain everything later.

What I'm saying is, that day... so... it's like...

Eat.

It's time to eat! You have to eat something.

I'll cook something up in no time, so rest up.

Come and eat!

You can't just roughly chop it up like that.

You have to slice it diagonally.

Just hurry and slice.

All of those people are waiting, even the police are over there.

I have to bewitch them with flavor.

No, wait–

No! The water hasn't even started boiling!

The timing isn't right.

This is food for the patients!

I just put in a little.

Wait, why is that coming out of your pocket...

I only put in a little bit.

This isn't the time to be eating...

Aigoo, eat up.

You have to eat in order to live. Eat up.

But where did the handsome detective go?

Oh, that guy doesn't eat well with others.

- Why?
- Something about him losing his appetite.

I see...

Hey there,

so are you here because of San Ah's dad dying?

I mean, why are you doing this here?

It doesn't have anything to do with In Sook, does it?

She was here on that day, she doesn't know anything.

Woo Cheon! Did you come to investigate Woo Cheon?

Didn't that handsome detective say he already investigated him?

But why did you guys bring him here?

He says he's a volunteer here.

Woo Cheon is? Since when?

After the m*rder case went down.

Phone! We need to call!

Call someone!

Oh, gosh!

Tetrodotoxin.

It's globe-fish poison. Tetrodotoxin.

There was white foam pooling around his mouth and nose.

It's been confirmed that they found congested blood and multiple petechia in his palebral conjunctiva.

Yes. Jo Si Yeong, finish the testifier investigation first.

What's the deal with Park Doo Jin? Who k*lled him, and what's up with the moss rose?

- Did Woo Cheon take a commission to do it?
- No.

- How do you know?
- Because I was with him.

- So you didn't do it together?
- Hey.

I mean, it's really weird.

Did those detectives go there because of Park Doo Jin, or because of us?

They arrived as soon as Park Doo Jin's body was found.

That means they were already on their way.

They said something suspicious came to light in the Ha Yong Geun m*rder case.

The DNA results came out.

We didn't take DNA tests.

- Then...
- We have to end it now.

You two, don't say anything.

I swung, and you don't know what happened after that.

After that? What was after that?

Aren't you going to eat?

They said the investigation will start soon, hurry and come out!

You mean to say that you will conduct an investigation here?

Of course, you should do that.

You can't just take terminally ill patients to the police station.

This side is more suitable for the person being investigated.

- I'm more comfortable here.
- It's alright. Please step out.

Alright, on that day...

Um, please leave.

- Oh! It's that kind of thing?
- Yes.

- I see.
- Yes.

Alright, on that day you posted something on social media.

- What the heck? Do you follow me?
- No.

"Is it a crime to take one bad guy with me when I'm dying?"

What about it? What's the big deal about social media?

It's my space to post and delete whatever I want as I please.

- I post and delete things multiple times a day, is that a crime too?
- No, that's not a crime.

- But given how unexpected it was,
- I'm sorry that it was unexpected.

Where are In Sook and Se Yeon?

- They will be investigated separately.
- By who?

- That person?
- Huh?

I mean, why am I stuck with you?

- Do you dislike me?
- Well, that handsome higher-up guy is investigating In Sook and Se Yeon,

why am I with a nobody like you.

"Nobody"?

Where were you, and were you doing at the time of Park Doo Jin's m*rder?

- What time was that?
- Dawn...

I was obviously asleep!

It's already so hard for me to breathe that I could die, do I look like I would k*ll someone on the beach?

Forget it. This is an abuse of power.

Anyway, I'm claiming my right to silence.

- Hey, I'm not done. Please sit down.
- Hey, Oppa.

Tetrodotoxin? That's not my area of expertise.

That's poison.

- But I did see a guy distributing it once, when I was in jail...
- On that shore,

there is "Sea Breeze". It's a company that adds pufferfish meat

into pufferfish extract, and produces that

to sell to terminal cancer patients.

They also sell pufferfish poison in a powder form.

I saw on the news that he ordered food for delivery and didn't leave his house.

A g*ng got ahold of the delivery field in that neighborhood.

Is it the Guseong g*ng?

How do you know that?

How do you know that, Hyungnim?

On the day of Ha Yong Geun's m*rder, you were at the crime scene with Sung Mi Do and Kang Se Yeon, weren't you?

Don't say anything for now. We need to buy time.

We could get framed for a second m*rder.

If you don't say anything, you will be put at a greater disadvantage.

Did the DNA test results come out?

Yes.

- Then...
- Kang Se Yeon will be brought to the station first.

Unnie...

Are you crazy?

What is this about?

What did I do wrong for you to do this?

I'm being like this because I really don't understand.

Do you think it's because I'll abandon my mother-in-law?

Is that really it? Huh? Money?

Hey, we lived together for ten years... Is this all that amounts to?

Let's talk later.

Talk about what later?

Since you're sick,

since you're sick, I tried to overlook it thinking about that.

Listen up. I will never get divorced!

I found a lawyer too, and they said that we can never get divorced over this.

There's no real reason, you're just uselessly exerting yourself.

As a matter of fact, you're more at fault!

- I'm at fault?
- You always go and buy a ton of groceries at the store, and let the food go bad.

It's the same with my mom. There's been more than a few times

when something has almost happened when I left her at home.

On top of that, all of that money that's gone into your miscarriages... You seriously...

- So that was it?
- I'm really tired!

Hey!

What do I become if I get divorced by my wife who has cancer?

Wouldn't you just become a husband

who helps out his money-hungry and terminally-ill wife?

Seriously, why are you being like this?!

Seriously, why are you like this? Se Yeon, why are you doing this?

Let's come to our senses, please.

Are you, possibly... worried that I might suffer alone after you die?

- Are you trying to let me go before you die, or something?
- Hey.

- I'm Sergeant Oh Jin Kyu from the police investigation unit.
- You're a police officer?

Why is the police here? Oh, because of the golf club?

- Let's go.
- Wait a second.

Wait a moment. What's going on?

All of a sudden there's divorce and m*rder... everything's gone to crap after you came here.

I told you, let's go home.

You weren't originally this kind of person, right?

The Kang Se Yeon who I loved was not this kind of woman.

What kind of person am I?

- What?
- I k*lled him.

What?

You know,

that I tried to k*ll your mother, too.

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

What are you talking about?

Even though I'm a m*rder*r,

you still love me, right?

Se Yeon...

Stay still for now. Even if you step in now, there's nothing that you can do.

I realized what happened after I came to my senses the next day.

- You remembered?
- Yes.

While I was doing a sleep study, I remembered the scene all of a sudden.

Myself going towards that man, while holding the golf club.

- So you brought the gold club back to your house?
- Yes.

There was nowhere to hide it properly.

Let's get this straight. Pyo In Sook brought Sung Mi Do with her, when she left because she was worried about her grandmother,

and you followed them out carrying your husband's golf club, and swung it?

While sleep-walking?

Yes.

And you don't remember anything else?

Yes.

It's true that the three of you went to the crime scene, and Min Woo Cheon appeared there.

At least that's true.

At least?

At least.

Who strangled him in the time in between?

Even if Kang Se Yeon hit him, the cause of death was suffocation.

We're still blank on who strangled him.

But a second victim appeared dead with a moss rose stuck in his hair.

Are these two cases really connected?

This time, there's no moss roses growing in the street. It's a beach over there.

This one was flown in from somewhere. The m*rder crime scene is like that as a whole.

It feels extremely clean and produced.

Alright, then

Park Doo Jin ate pufferfish poison at home, and then someone transferred his already dead body to the beach and laid him there.

They then placed a flower on him that they carefully flew in.

k*lling him wasn't their goal.

It must have been to create an exhibit.

Yeah, Oppa.

No... I can't leave the Hospice right now...

Really?

- You'll bring the dress here?
- You guys went out that day, right?

Se Yeon did it?

- It's not us.
- Park Doo Jin,

did Se Yeon do that to Park Doo Jin, too?

How could she pull that off?

You and Woo Cheon slept in a room together!

So you didn't have time to do that, right?

You guys slept, you must have!

- We went through so much trying to get you two together, spreading flowers and everything!
- What?

- You spread flowers?
- Yeah.

What the heck? Weren't those sent to me?

- No wonder they went missing.
- That's not important.

What happened? The two of you...

- We didn't k*ll Park Doo Jin.
- No–

Did you sleep together..?

How could you ask that to her face like that?

Then where should I turn to ask?

I received the complaint, so they might send the defense.

If your husband behaves that way, it won't be easy.

If the mediation doesn't work, there will be a family investigation.

From the court's perspective, they investigate the cause of your breakup.

You should prepare well.

Why don't you ask me anything?

- What?
- Me, right now

I am here because I have k*lled a person.

Why don't you ask me anything?

Because this is all I can do for you.

Let's not live only on plans.

We should plan eveything.

If we're using the Eurail Pass, we need to know exactly where we've already gone and where we're going.

We might fight during the trip.

I will stay there if I like it, or leave if I don't.

No.

Do you want to go to a specific country?

Yes. Italy.

Sounds nice. But why?

That painting - I want to see it in person.

It's in Louvre. Paris.

Ehh?

- Really?
- Why do you want to see that painting?

See. Those two women are looking after the baby, right.

People say that Leonardo da Vinci

painted a fantasy about a stepmother

and a real mother. But my thinking is different.

I think the women are a couple and are raising the kid together.

Don't you think so? I want to live like that.

What else do you want to do on the trip?

I want to do everything that is prohibited in Korea.

For example?

Try to guess.

Is there something that can only be done in foreign countries?

Kiss.

Kiss?

Her eyes. Mom didn't say anything after that.

She acted as if nothing ever happened.

Making me think if nothing really happened.

After that, everything was embarassing.

I...

My existence itself was embarassing.

You, who looked so cool

now looked shabby.

Just, because of her expression that day.

I know. After that, a dozen times, and a hundred times....

Those eyes met mine.

That day, I did go to the airport.

But in the end, I came back. After coming back, I ran away.

After that I have only been running away.

I graduated, got a job and got married.

I ran away so that I could live normally, without standing out in front of other people.

In the end, I am here.

It's not your fault.

But you didn't do that, right.

I was defensive in my own way.

I live with a shield. Maybe I became a lawyer because of that.

I stacked up my resume tirelessly, so that people don't ignore me.

I tried hard to have more than what everyone else had.

Sometimes, I had these thoughts also.

What if I had left you back then?

What if I had lived the way I wanted to?

Would my life have a little different?

You would have regretted whatever you would have done.

If you had run away, disappointed that you did so.

If bumped into, then disappointed because of that.

But at least, I didn't want to become this kind of a person.

What kind of a person are you?

Why did you surrender?

I have passed through it already.

My bright times have all gone by.

But for them, it is now.

They are dashing now.

I can see them shine.

Because they are shining too bright

I wanted to give them some time.

- Hey. Is this the time to cook?
- Yes.

So, the person who shares the room with you...

Did she really k*ll that person?

Why? How does she know him?

Tell me something. My mind is going crazy.

Don't try to think too much.

So, Woo Cheon...

That guy... From when did you know him?

For a very long time.

Talking all bullshit.

When did you ever have a guy? Rare thing.

What do you know?

There were boys who came with their parents because you beat them up.

There was no guy that liked you.

So, are you making this for Woo Cheon?

Yes.

So... you are in that kind of a relationship with him?

- Yes.
- Really?

Why are you smiling?

- Me?
- Is it good? Do you think it's alright?

I am very grateful.

Hey.... Nothing to be grateful for.

I find it interesting and nice that you have a guy in this situation.

I also feel nice to be here like this with you.

Like nothing is going on. It's nice.

Try it.

- What are you doing?
- Pancake.

It's all torn. You must have flipped it incorrectly.

Somehow, you tried to keep it together with honey.

Try it. It tastes good.

Why are you doing such soft things?

Soft things?

We are not in a normal relationship, right.

I think I like sleeping together. I slept well.

So, liking sleeping together

and that I slept together are two different things.

- I slept well after doing it-
- Alright. I understand.

I feel very close to you.

- Yes.
- So, that feeling was like....

How do I put this?

What have you decided?

What?

You are like this whenever you make a decision. Very unnatural.

Eat it. Wait.

I made this with so much difficulty.

How is it?

- Salty.
- Salty?

It was salt and not sugar. What to do?

Will you surrender?

I told you I will do that after the picnic.

I will get Se Yeon out. Because she doesn't know it was death from suffocation.

It's me. Nobody other than me.

- The person who can wrap up this situation.
- The situation has changed.

After the second m*rder, it will become a serial m*rder case.

First, we have to check the mobile phone.

Whatever is there in that mobile phone, it's not proof for the m*rder.

It's not like that person had m*rder*d.

That guy could have k*lled Park Du Jin.

- But why?
- The crime scene was like that. Like it was all made up.

There are not many people who can do that.

Don't go forward. Stay quiet.

I want to do that the most.

I want to stay quiet the most.

I just want to reveal and expose everything.

Now, I really wanted some time.

- I just wanted to live.
- Just do that.

Let's do that.

- Why can't we? Why can't we do that?
You know, right.

Not having parents by your side when young, remaining alone.

You know how it is, right? If not for others.

Ultimately, it's something I started.

I tried to k*ll him, he could have died like that also.

So, I need to end this.

I know who the superior person is.

Ko Ji Pyo.

The situation cannot become worse.

We will announce our wedding soon. Succession will also be decided.

But if the scandal continues, father will come to know.

It will end now. Se Yeon surrendered.

I think that is right. Because she was in the state of sleepwalking.

It will be considered an extenuating circumstance.

I have also agreed to be the witness. I will coordinate with In Sook-

Then what about Park Du Jin's m*rder?

- What?
- He died near the sea, right? With the flower on him.

- We didn't do that.
- Are you sure?

They both were also there, right.

What about that person?

He is a rich person, right. So why?

That's why he must have something big to hide.

Ko Ji Pyo ordered the k*lling of Ha Yong Geun, and everything is messed now.

The reason must be inside the phone.

I will wait outside. First, try on the dress. Let's talk later.

Then, what about Mi Do?

We should tell her.

- We are not sure of anything yet, right?
- Then will you let her marry him without knowing what kind of a person he is?

It might be better for her to not know.

We are all dying anyway.

It might be better to die without waking up from the happiness.

You look very pretty.

It suits you very well.

Oppa, how do I look?

Wow. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in this world.

Really?

- Min Woo Cheon had received the call, right?
- Yes.

- Would he have learned everything he has to?
No.

That is not it.

Do I look pretty?

Yes. Pretty.

It's funny that I am doing this in this situation, right?

No.

I feel very strange. I have dreamed of this moment hundreds and thousands of times.

Even if it is now, it still feels like a dream.

Pinch me.

Ouch!

- It hurts.
- It's not a dream.

It is, right?

How do you feel?

It feels strange, right? You are looking at your loved person wearing the wedding dress for the first time.

I think I would feel very strange if In Sook would have worn it.

I have one more dress. How about trying it on?

Where are you holding the wedding?

How about the hotel from that day? You had liked that bathroom so much.

That you could even live there.

Coming to think of it, a bathroom is just a bathroom.

No matter how clumsy and slippery it is, a bathroom is just a bathroom.

sh*t.

Let's-Let's meet there.

What's this? How did you come back again?

I don't know. I surrendered saying I hit him with the golf club.

The detective was not even surprised.

Even my husband's DNA was detected in the golf club.

If it won't end here, what about this wedding?

Now, Ji Pyo is also anxious.

Until that.

- What?
- He said, until that point.

"We went to the crime scene and met Woo Cheon."

"It's correct until that point." He said this.

That it was correct until that point?

- It was not us.
- It seems those two people were there near the sea.

You are hiding something, right?

Why are not even surprised? Why aren't you saying anything? Se Yeon was just released like this.

It's Woo Cheon, right? Don't you think Woo Cheon did something?

Actually, the situation has become complicated because he put that damn flower on him.

Also, because he was a contract m*rder, I feel the situation has worsened.

You stop it.

What is it? Tell everything without hiding.

If you want to hide it, then that's up to you.

Anyway, you have the key to ending this situation.

Hiding or revealing-

- Sung Mi Do.
- Why?

I can't end it here.

You know, me...

I have always wanted to receive love.

You know how that feels?

It's like being a dog. You wait the whole day for your master.

And if the master doesn't show up, he feels anxious and throws tantrums. Somehow, get attention by being cute and stuff.

What is it because of that? Whenever I look at a dog, I feel annoyed.

It tries so much to receive love.

But.

I am like that.

I did all sorts of things to receive love my whole life.

But then, I am now nearing death.

Like a lie, everything is about to come true.

If I do everything and die, won't I feel a little less unfair?

I think I can die like that.

Without anything happening

without anyone knowing, I don't want to die like that.

What are you?

- What?
- What do you want to get?

Daughter-in-law of a rich family?

Is that what you really want?

Is that the goal you want to achieve before dying?

Out of everything, do you want to get that cover before dying?

Don't you think that cover is better than being called a m*rder*r?

Stop it. I..

You. Don't think of taking all the responsibility alone.

You get it?

You have always been on her side.

- What?
- That's right.

I know that too. I don't care.

People usually don't really like me.

Because I am pretty, they get a little interested

They keep me by their side. But it all withers soon and they leave.

Guys are like that too.

The more I love them, the more they get tired.

So, showing myself?

I don't. I am used to being exaggerated lightly.

I know it too.

But, Ji Pyo is next to me, right.

Even if I told him I m*rder*d someone, he was by my side.

He told me he will try everything to help me.

Do you know how much that matters to me?

[The people's Police. Just Republic of Korea]

Yes.

A strand of hair?

A hair strand was found in Park Du Jin's shirt button.

It is not Park Du Jin's hair.

Hand us the DNA of the suspects to be further investigated.

Yes, alright.

A strand of hair.

Grandmother.

Why? What happened?

San Ah is missing.

What? Didn't she go to the school?

Today, she strangely wanted to go to school. After that I left for work.

I received a phone call that she didn't go to school.

Then? Where did she go?

I know who the superior person is.

Ko Ji Pyo.

Then will you let her marry him without knowing who he is?

It's not that I disliked her.

It's just that I want her to understand.

What she really wants? Whether she really loves that person.

What is love?

How much ever shabby that person may be.

Shopping fully from the mart and letting them rot.

And all the money that was used because of the miscarriages.

Even if the world points fingers at you...

Just embracing them.

Hey, hey.

Grandma.

San Ah is missing. She didn't even go to the school.

- What?
- Actually, San Ah has been strange these days.

She holds on to her mom, not letting her go to work.

Every morning, she doesn't go to school also.

Why? Is it because of that photo?

She always hurts herself here and there.

I thought maybe her friends did so. So I went to her school once.

But, it looks like she inflicted it upon herself.

She hurt her body here and there.

It if heals up, then she scrapes it off again.

She even has weird marks on her limbs.
