01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

I k*lled her.

She's at peace finally.

What do you mean, you k*lled her?

Nam Si-heon,

she's dead all because of me.

So you're telling me In-gyu k*lled her?

In-gyu would never do that, huh?

I know he's not a k*ller, okay?

And on top of that, he committed suicide?

That's not who he is. This is wrong.

After In-gyu stepped off that ledge,

I kept trying to figure out

where it went wrong.

My mind raced through every moment.

This all started

on the day Kwon Min-ju was found dead.

That's my theory.

Shouldn't we travel back in time

and find a way to change this?

To be honest, there was

a part of my heart that wanted to, uh…

to stop thinking about what happened…

and just continue on living my life

without them and only you Jun-hee.

And yet…

And yet you couldn't live with yourself

if you abandoned In-gyu.

If I were in your position,

I would've done the same thing.

If you could only go back,

you would try over and over again, because

whether you're Nam Si-heon or…

or you're Koo Yeon-jun,

that's the kind of person you are.

You knew by going on that plane that day

that you were going to die,

but you did it so you could see me again.

So now,

I need to do my part in all of this.

I will go back to the year 1998.

But once I'm there,

how do we stop all this?

Make sure Min-ju lives.

You have to keep her alive at all costs.

But when you wake up in Min-ju's body,

you need to be careful,

because Min-ju's m*rder*r

will be watching every move you make.

Do whatever it takes on October the 13th.

Mmm.

I'll do whatever it takes.

To the year 1998.

A TIME CALLED YOU

I wanna ask you something.

What is it?

"Whenever your heart calls for me…"

What does it mean, huh?

"Whenever your heart calls for me,

I will go to you."

Give me your hand.

When I come back from the past,

I need you to promise me something.

Promise me when I wake,

you will be by my side.

Promise me.

I promise you.

Oh, Jun-hee.

Oh.

What's wrong?

Is everything okay?

Did you make it back from 1998 just now?

No.

When I woke up,

you weren't by my side, Si-heon.

I got scared, and thought

I dreamt all of last night.

I'm very real.

Do you feel better now?

Mmm.

Hey, so from now on,

don't ever leave my side again, okay?

Mmm.

-Didn't you promise that?

-Yes, I did promise that.

I will always be by your side.

Mmm.

So you're saying last night,

you couldn't time travel to the past

even with the cassette player

like you used to.

That's the first time

it hasn't worked, right?

I wonder why that is.

So, I've been doing

some thinking about all this.

If we compare each other's

trajectory every time

we traveled back and forth from the past

we might be able to find some clues.

I'm wondering if…

if there's a loophole in all this.

When you listen to this song

on this cassette,

you time travel and wake up in the body

of someone you resemble,

someone you're connected to

in the thread of time and space,

so something had to disrupt that, right?

So if there is a loophole, then maybe

we should look for what the cause is.

I wonder if there were already clues

Do you remember anything odd in the past

we're not thinking of right now?

Ah, there was one thing

that was pretty odd.

In a span of a few months,

only two people were m*rder*d back then.

Byeon Da-hyeon and Kwon Min-ju.

If this person was k*lling two people

just a few months apart,

then they're a serial k*ller by nature

and wouldn't stop k*lling all together.

So why weren't there more killings?

It's strange, right?

I agree.

When I did my own investigation,

the trail went cold

out of the blue so suddenly.

Usually, serial K*llers

only stop k*lling if they're caught.

And they never caught Min-ju's k*ller,

so why has he been dormant all this time?

Something's not adding up.

What if after

the initial murders happened,

the k*ller was prevented

from committing more crimes

from some unknown event

we've yet to find out?

I'll go to our old high school

and see what I can find.

I believe whatever event

we are looking for

must have been documented

in the school archives.

Then I will research articles from 1998.

I wonder if we missed any events

that were important at the time

that we didn't know about.

Good to see you again.

Oh wow! It's been a while.

So you do know who I am.

Of course I know who you are.

You're Nam Si-heon.

Girls from other schools lined up

at the school gate just to see you.

You were so popular.

This is a real surprise.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry take a seat.

Here. Be careful.

Careful now.

I heard you were in a terrible accident.

So how are your legs doing now?

I've been walking a lot better

as time goes on.

How have you been? Everything good?

All is good. And soon it'll be retirement.

Anyhow, what can I do for you today?

I have something important to ask you.

Do you remember the student Kwon Min-ju?

She was in my class.

Yes, I do.

Did you ever notice anything, uh, peculiar

surrounding the time of her death?

Uh, that was a while back, huh?

Not really.

Any strange events,

whether another student got injured

or maybe one of the students

transferred suddenly?

Anything you can tell me,

no matter how trivial?

Um, well, I'm just wondering if anything

back then struck you as strange.

Well, there was that other m*rder,

but you already know.

Um, other than that, I can't recall

anything strange happening. Sorry.

Uh,

then, how about, uh,

the school newspaper back in those days?

Are there any copies in the archive?

I'd like to look through them

just in case.

Oh, well, yes, they should be, uh…

The archive is in the library.

1998 NOKSAN m*rder CASE

NOKSAN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

m*rder*d MONTHS APAR

m*rder SUSPECT, JUNG, 18, ARRESTED

VICTIM, BYEON DA-HYEON (18)

VICTIM, KWON MIN-JU (18)

m*rder SUSPECT OF KWON MIN-JU

MR. JUNG (AGE 18)

Did you find anything yet?

Uh,

not yet.

Si-heon, what's this all about?

You don't think

your friend In-gyu did this.

You think he's innocent, don't you?

Yes.

Since he confessed to the crimes,

there wasn't much I could do.

But we all thought it was really strange.

None of us believed

that In-gyu would do that.

That leads me to the question

that you had asked me earlier today.

There is one thing I did find strange.

I remember there was this kid,

not in my class though.

At first, I was told he was admitted

to the hospital

because of a common health issue.

I just assumed

that's why he took a leave of absence.

It wasn't until later I found out

that that boy was put

in a psychiatric hospital for a while.

-Do you know when all of this happened?

-Oh, well, it was back in 1998.

It was right after the murders

of those two girls.

Since the whole school

was still very unsettled by

the deaths of those innocent girls,

I think they didn't want

any more scandals.

Do you remember who, uh… who that kid was?

Oh, sure, um, I was his teacher

the year before, so…

Give me a moment. It was…

What was his name?

Chu… No, wait.

It was Cheol or Chung.

Something like that, uh…

All right, where do you want this again?

You can put it up against the wall.

Jeez, I told you

I'd get it myself later on.

I know. Don't worry about it, though.

I had a lot of free time

on my hands today.

Oh, well, thank you. Some coffee, then?

-Okay, sure.

-Make yourself comfortable.

You're looking at some scary stuff.

What's this all about, huh?

NOKSAN HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

m*rder*d MONTHS APAR

VICTIM, BYEON DA-HYEON (18)

VICTIM, KWON MIN-JU (18)

Wow.

Hey, Jun-hee.

-Hmm?

-What's with all this?

Oh, that…

It's nothing. I was just curious is all.

This looks like a very old m*rder case.

Yeah.

You said you've been having

bad dreams quite often

because of your insomnia.

Isn't that right?

Doesn't reading this kind of thing

make it worse for you?

Uh…

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Do you remember the dream

I had told you about the other day?

Mm-hmm.

Well, I wasn't dreaming it at all.

You weren't?

I…

Yeon-jun and I met again recently.

STUDENT RECORDS

Where is he?

-See you tomorrow.

-Okay, have a good night.

Oh, here he is. This is the guy.

Look here.

Oh Chan-hui.

Hmm.

So you're telling me you traveled

through time back to the year 1998.

And the girl who wrote this diary

is named Kwon Min-ju,

and you woke up in her body somehow.

And everything that had happened to you

in that past timeline,

you're saying

that you actually experienced all of it.

Am I right so far?

Mmm.

And not only that, you met Yeon-jun

in the year 1998,

except that wasn't his name, right?

His name was Si-heon, yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Uh,

I have no clue

how any of this can be possible.

So how were you able

to travel back in time in the first place?

By using this.

I don't know how, but this cassette player

lets me travel in time.

I fell asleep listening

to Seo Ji-won's song on the bus,

and when I woke up, it was 1998.

Strangely… uh, Kwon Min-ju and I

shared the same body,

as well as Yeon-jun and Si-heon.

So somehow we're connected

in this thread of time.

Hmm.

So if someone in a different timeline

looks like you,

then you are somehow

connected across space and time.

So if this is true,

I can use this cassette player

to travel into someone else's body.

That's pretty crazy, Jun-hee.

I know it sounds crazy.

But it's our only theory.

I know it's hard to believe,

but it's the truth.

It's so unbelievable, and that's why

I thought it was a dream at first.

Hey, Jun-hee.

I mostly believe you.

You believe me?

Uh-huh.

But this Byeon Da-hyeon case…

Why are you so interested

in what happened to her?

Ah.

I think that

the culprit from that case

and the culprit who m*rder*d Kwon Min-ju

might be the same person.

At least, that's what I think for now.

Wh… What?

Kwon Min-ju was k*lled

back in 1998, right?

At the time, a guy I know was arrested

because he confessed to the m*rder,

but he would never do something like that.

So my instinct tells me that the m*rder*r

had to be someone else.

My belief is

the m*rder*r in Da-hyeon's case is

the person who k*lled Min-ju as well.

Chan-yeong.

Huh?

That cup of coffee is sounding pretty good

right now. Can you make me one?

Uh, sure. Just give me a minute.

Mm-hmm.

Who's this?

Do you like this girl?

Hey, Chan-yeong, you can't

go through my drawers like that.

Give it back to me.

You really like her a lot, don't you?

No, I don't. It's just, uh…

She's similar to me.

She doesn't talk much.

She doesn't have any friends either.

So I'm interested in her, only a little.

Well, it sounds like you like her a lot.

If you like her, just save her.

And she'll be yours forever.

Save her? What do you mean?

Make her into a butterfly specimen.

Once you do that, she's always yours.

I love saving butterflies

for my collection.

They are so beautiful to see.

Have you ever preserved a butterfly

Why not try it? I think you'll enjoy it.

Uh…

Chan-yeong,

please don't talk like that again.

A person is not an insect, okay?

If you like someone, uh,

you have to cherish them.

I should cherish them?

Mmm. That's right.

And you must, uh, keep your friends safe

and never ever harm them.

Huh? That's no fun.

It sounds really boring.

Hey, don't you think her eyes

look just like our puppy, Happy.

Now I see it all.

So Min-ju and Da-hyeon were k*lled by

someone who went to their school.

YEON-JUN

SLIDE TO POWER OFF

The phone has been turned off.

You will be forwarded to voicemail.

After the tone--

Even though it's been a while,

I'm pretty sure that Oh Chan-hui

was an introverted and quiet kid.

SIBLINGS: OH CHAN-YEONG

Oh Chan-yeong?

Oh Chan-yeong?

Oh, it appears he had a younger brother.

If he was born in 1988,

he would've been only ten years old.

Hey, it's Si-heon.

I might've found out who k*lled Jun-hee.

He was a student at Noksan High School.

His name is Oh Chan-hui.

Yes.

It also explains why the crimes stopped

after Min-ju was k*lled.

He's been hospitalized for a while.

He's been locked up there since 1998.

No, she's not.

I'm on my way to her place right now.

In the meantime, I will forward you

Oh Chan-hui's records from the school.

All right.

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Chan-yeong, are you there?

Ah.

Ah, I'm sorry.

You said you could time travel

with this cassette player.

I wanted to see for myself if it worked.

Ah, well, did it work?

Well, the song was very pretty.

But I slept all the way through it,

I guess.

Oh, right.

Jun-hee, I'm starving.

Some food would be nice.

Uh, sure. I have some fruit.

Uh, would you like that?

-Hey, Jun-hee.

-Hmm?

The Kwon Min-ju m*rder in 1998…

Did the real culprit

leave any clues behind?

Oh, so the first time

that Kwon Min-ju was attacked, uh,

the culprit was wearing a uniform

from Noksan High School.

I think he had to be a student there,

maybe one of Min-ju's classmates.

One of the male students, perhaps.

I see.

I know how all of this

must sound right now.

I should thank you

for going along with this.

Not at all.

I should be thanking you for helping me.

Don't be silly. I didn't do anything.

It's because of what you

told me earlier tonight.

Now I know exactly what happened to me

and my brother back then.

Did I mention

I used to live in Noksan when I was young?

Next time, don't get in my way, Jun-hee.

Hey.

Hey, Chan-hui, are you okay?

Hey.

Hey, wake up.

Hmm?

Uh, are… are you all right, Chan-hui?

Oh, taxi!

Taxi!

OH CHAN-HUI

Uh, are you okay?

-Yeah, don't worry. I'm absolutely fine.

-Oh…

Something terrible almost happened.

Um, do you wanna go to the hospital?

Are you hurt?

Not at all.

No need to be concerned.

How about yourself? Are you okay?

So, how come you're alone out here?

Uh,

uh, if you're not hurt, I'll be on my way

if that's all right with you.

So, uh, thank you so much.

It could be dangerous

for you to go by yourself.

Uh, who knows who else

might be out here this late at night.

I'll go with you, hmm?

Uh, there's no need to do that.

Hey, I just saved you.

So now I feel a responsibility

to protect you.

Uh, were you trying to head

somewhere important earlier?

Uh, at the intersection,

that's where my mom works.

I know a shortcut. Let me take you there.

You'll get there in no time.

Hmm.

Mm-hmm.

What?

Stop! Let go of me!

Why are you doing this? Help!

Somebody hel--

Let go!

Ah! Stop it!

Get away from me!

Get away!

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Chan-yeong, are you there?

You don't know how incredibly disappointed

I am that you're not Kwon Min-ju.

Hello, everyone.

Are you all ready to order?

-Oh, what are you doing here?

-What are you doing here?

Uh, what is this?

Who is she?

So, what would you like to order today?

Take a look.

Our female customers tend to like

the A and B set menus, typically.

And, uh, as for the guys…

At first, I was excited

because I thought you were Kwon Min-ju.

…with the risotto?

The moment I saw you

look at me, that's when I realized

you were not the Kwon Min-ju in the photo

that I had obsessed over

so many years ago.

You weren't afraid.

You didn't shrink back

like she would have.

I didn't feel that rush of excitement

when I saw you

like I did with her.

Hey, Jun-hee.

Jun-hee?

Jun-hee?!

Jun-hee?

Jun-hee?

Jun-hee!

Hello? Somebody's collapsed.

Apartment 805, 45 Yeoksam-dong.

Please hurry.

Jun-hee.

Jun-hee!

Koo Yeon-jun?

Oh Chan-yeong.

What are you doing here?

Y… you'd better talk.

Uh, um, I just…

Jun-hee was like this

before I even got here. I swear.

You came out that way.

Uh…

I heard the door and thought

the person came back,

so I hid in that room

because I was afraid.

Do you really expect me

to believe all that?

Tell me.

Do you know what he did?

Did you do this

because Jun-hee found out about it?

What are you talking about?

What does my brother have to do with this?

I swung by

because I was dropping off that chair.

Look, it's right there.

That's when I found her

on the ground unconscious.

Hey, Yeon-jun.

I'm the one who should be

really surprised right now, huh?

Do you know how shocked I was

when Jun-hee told me

you were still alive somehow?

Didn't you just say that…

she was already passed

out when you found her?

It's you.

It wasn't Oh Chan-hui who did it.

It was you that k*lled

Min-ju and Da-hyeon.

Wasn't it?

It was always you.

Everything that's happened

is all of your fault.

Why did you do it, huh?

Why did you k*ll Kwon Min-ju, huh?

You're right.

You're right it was me.

It wasn't my brother at all. But

everything he used to tell me back then…

I finally now know what he meant.

I'm positive I know what to do now.

Getting to time travel into the past,

into my brother's body,

that's just an added bonus.

Hey, Yeon-jun.

Just so you know,

this is all Jun-hee's fault.

'Cause of her, this came together.

I'm so grateful.

Mmm.

No, Chan-hui.

You were wrong.

WHAT WOULD NAM SI-HEON SAY

IF HE FOUND OUT I LIKE HIM?

Look what you've done.

You've damaged a good specimen.

It's all right.

I can fix this, huh?

I'll be here a while.

-Come on. Let's go. Hurry, In-gyu.

-Ah.

Let me give you a shower.

-Hey.

-All right. All right.

-You're dead meat.

-Not if you can't catch me!

Si-heon, come back.

Si-heon, come back to me, please.

Oh no. Why Si-heon?

Why?!

Please don't go.

What am I supposed to do?

I can't do this alone. I need you.

It wasn't supposed to end like this.

Oh, what will I do now?

Si-heon…

My Si-heon!

Oh, Si-heon…

Don't go, please.

Oh Chan-yeong.

We need to find Oh Chan-yeong.

He took the cassette player from me.

I need it back to save Si-heon.

I'm going to bring Si-heon back to life

no matter what.

This was captured on camera

after he committed the crime.

Has anyone

been able to find him yet?

We raided his studio apartment

a little bit later,

but we couldn't find him.

We're using the security cameras

to try and trace his whereabouts.

Now, those items he stole from you,

were they valuable?

Yes, it was a cassette player

and an old diary.

Those were the only two things

that disappeared from my things.

He must've had a good reason to take them.

But why those specific items?

They're not particularly valuable.

Maybe there's something

he really needs them for?

Chan-yeong?

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Last night, when Chan-yeong came over,

he fell asleep on my couch.

He was listening to the cassette player

when I had woken him up, so, uh…

What if he went back to 1998

without us knowing?

If that's the case,

whose body could he have used?

Is there someone in the past

that Chan-yeong looks like?

Yes! Oh Chan-hui.

Si-heon sent me a picture

of his brother last night.

Hmm.

No, she's not Kwon Min-ju after all.

Isn't that right, Jun-hee?

Oh, Chan-hui.

I'm back from school.

Wait as second.

That poor dog was whimpering for ages.

I thought they were having fun.

I didn't think he would have hurt him.

The strange thing is,

after Chan-yeong k*lled the dog,

he didn't even bat an eye, you know?

Honestly.

Did I really raise him to be like this?

Something's wrong with him. I know it.

And I'm frightened of him.

It's driving me crazy.

Can you talk to him?

So where is my brother right now?

Hey, Chan-yeong.

Are you awake?

Okay then.

It seems

that you're not really in the mood

to talk about our dog, Happy, right now.

In that case, how about I leave you alone?

Mom's angry at me for what I did.

Hey, am I going to be punished

for what I did?

So does that mean

you're angry with me too?

Not at all. Why would I?

You said I should… I should cherish them.

That's what you told me to do, right?

I know I did.

But I've actually, uh,

thought more about what I said.

I was wrong.

You shouldn't change yourself at all,

Chan-yeong.

You know how animals are our pets?

Well, maybe people are also

just like pets in a similar way.

-They're pets?

-Yes, they are.

I need you to know that

you're a very special person just like me.

See, normal people like our mom,

they just don't understand who we are.

We're special to this world.

I'm gonna tell you something important.

It's a cool secret.

So I'm actually from the future.

You know that?

You don't know

what I'm saying, do you? Hmm?

Someday, uh, you'll understand everything.

And when that time finally comes,

uh, you will know what I'm saying.

In the meantime,

you have to hide yourself for now

until the time is right, okay?

Hide myself for now?

Just remember

that the most important thing

is for you

to be able to blend in with everyone.

It's only for the time being, all right?

Do not let anyone know

how special you are, Chan-yeong.

Learn to mask yourself and just wait for

the right moment when opportunity knocks.

Soon, it'll be easy for you.

One day, you'll understand.

I'll be finding my own specimens

to collect very soon.

Wanna tag along this time?

Let's find a pet that we both can preserve

into a specimen together, okay?

SAEMMUL CONVALESCENT HOSPITAL

He has good days, and he has bad days.

Now, on a good day, he sometimes

speaks a few words here and there.

But when he's having a bad day,

it's all just gibberish.

He'll even have seizures.

Just a moment.

Hello, Mr. Oh Chan-hui.

My name is Han Jun-hee.

So, I'm here today

because I have something to ask you.

Do you remember

what happened back in 1998?

Specifically to one of your classmates?

Her name was Kwon Min-ju, and, uh, she was

a third year at Noksan High School

and was found m*rder*d that year.

Do you remember anything?

Can you hear me?

This is really important, sir,

so please answer me

if you understand me.

Do you remember what happened to her?

Was it you or your younger brother?

I need to know who k*lled her, huh?

Just answer the question,

and I'll go, okay?

I can…

hear everything.

I was present the first time

that we all…

…caught a specimen.

I saw and heard everything.

I could do nothing but watch her.

I was just an audience member, hmm?

Do you remember when I told you

that I was going to collect a new specimen

and that you could tag along with me,

so we could do it together?

What do you think?

Isn't this specimen pretty?

Make sure you hold

the light right there, hmm?

Mmm? Be quiet or you will get hurt.

Now, if you listen carefully

to my instructions,

this will all be over soon. You got it?

Let her go.

Let her go.

It…

it wasn't me.

I didn't do it!

Let her go! Let her go, huh?

I wanted to help her, but I couldn't.

It wasn't you.

It was Oh Chan-yeong,

your younger brother.

He was the one

who k*lled her that night, not you.

It was all Oh Chan-yeong, wasn't it?

Am I right?

Kwon Min-ju?

You're alive?

How are you here?

I didn't do it. Min-ju!

I didn't do it!

It wasn't me!

I had no choice, okay?

Min-ju, I swear.

They forced me to do it, huh?

I never wanted to do anything like that.

I would never hurt you Min-ju.

-I'd never hurt Min-ju, okay?

-All right, Chan-hui.

-They made me do it, I swear.

-It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Calm down. It's all right.

So now we know who it was.

Oh Chan-yeong k*lled her

and not Oh Chan-hui.

Oh Chan-hui was forced to watch

his brother k*ll my niece Kwon Min-ju.

"They." What did he mean by "they"?

Who else could've been there

other than his brother, do you think?

What is it?

It's because of what you told me

earlier tonight.

Now I know exactly what happened

to me and my brother back then.

When I was back in the past,

the m*rder hadn't happened yet.

Oh Chan-yeong had yet to travel back

into his brother's body.

It wasn't until I told him everything.

That's when Chan-yeong discovered

he could travel back in time.

Ah. What have I…

I'm the one

who told Chan-yeong everything.

Then, that means

Si-heon and Min-ju are dead

all because of me. Oh!

There deaths were not your fault.

You didn't k*ll them, okay?

You didn't m*rder anyone.

Oh Chan-yeong is

the real m*rder*r here, Jun-hee.

We have to catch him.

We need to find him

to get the cassette player back.

That's the only way

we can save Min-ju and Si-heon.

Um, hello?

What?

Hey, you said you've caught

Oh Chan-yeong already?

Yes.

We have him in custody.

We found him in a motel today.

Sir, by chance, at the time of the arrest,

do you know if

he was listening to music

on a cassette player?

How did you know about that?

Well, it's mine,

and I want it back if that's okay.

Please give it to me. I need it now.

Uh, after forensics sends it back to us,

it shouldn't be a problem

to return it to you.

We'll have it for you soon, okay?

That being said, the tape player

isn't in good condition right now.

Oh Chan-yeong.

Oh Chan-yeong!

Ah!

Hey, don't let him go. Grab him!

Not yet. It's not time yet.

Why? Please let me go!

EVIDENCE NUMBER 23-01

-Hey, it was you all along!

-Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

-Hold on.

-It was you from the very start, huh?

-You're the k*ller! You k*lled Si-heon!

-Hey, you can't be doing this.

-Bring Si-heon back!

-Stop it!

Why did you do it? Why? I need to know!

No, Han Jun-hee!

You've got things all mixed up.

You should've asked yourself

something first.

How have I, Han Jun-hee, caused the m*rder

of Kwon Min-ju in the past?

Did you ever think about that?

Hey, come on.

You still don't get it?

You were the one responsible

for Kwon Min-ju's death, you see?

It's all because of you she's dead.
