[Snowfield Hospital]
Sister, wake up
Uh, uh! Sister, sister
Help, please help
Please help!
Hello This is Ha-young from 'Morning Radio'
Winter is usually called the season of preparation
Which means you should prepare in advance...
Please help!
Oh my
There are many good things to prepare in advance
[The Woman in the White Car]
Report came in from Seolwon Hospital
Two sisters arrived
The younger one has a completely smashed face
The older one has fractures in both hands and leg bruises
And her abdomen was stabbed with a knife, she's in surgery right now
Did they start with fists and then pull a knife?
Family fights can get really brutal
Fuck!
Exactly because it's family, it gets brutal.
Hmm…
Patient Choi Young-wook, please come in.
Excuse me.
Yes, thank you for your hard work.
By any chance, what time did you arrive at the hospital…?
Around 7 in the morning, I think.
7 a.m.
Hello!
Your name…?
Ah, Yoo Do-kyung.
Ms. Yoo Do-kyung, are you alright?
Do-kyung should get treatment.
Yes, but she's still in shock.
She keeps refusing treatment.
And just stays like that.
Worried about your sister?
Your sister will be okay.
I'm saying this as someone who's been through it.
Trust me!
All done. Please rest.
Drink this to warm yourself up.
Thank you!
Ms. Yoo Do-kyung!
Feeling a bit calmer now?
- Yoo Do-kyung. - Yes?
It's Yoo Do-kyung, not Woo Do-kyung.
Ah…
Yes, Ms. Yoo Do-kyung.
I'm Sergeant Kim Hyun-joo from Musang Police Post.
I need to ask you a few questions.
Can you answer them?
Yes.
Your date of birth and
occupation?
October 28, 1989.
Occupation is
writer.
Ah, you're a writer.
Address?
Musang-myeon, Samsan-ri 20-3.
Did the incident happen there? At home?
Yes.
Your sister's name and date of birth?
Yoo Mi-kyung.
March 6, 1987.
No other family members were present?
Parents or…
Parents passed away five years ago.
Yes.
Then…
So it was just you and your sister?
No.
There was one more person.
Who?
My future brother-in-law.
Sister.
- Do-kyung-ah. - Uh, uh…
Who are you?
Me? I'm your sister's future husband.
Nice to meet you.
I've heard a lot about you.
That man…
For some reason he felt uncomfortable.
Still, since he was the man my sister chose I wanted to congratulate them.
It's nothing special, but please eat.
Banquet noodles to celebrate?
Aigoo, how sweet.
Sister-in-law.
Are you kidding me right now?
What?
Do you know how hard it was driving all the way to this mountain village?
A twelve-course meal
wouldn't even be enough.
And now I have to eat fucking noodles?!
He said
while cursing and getting angry.
He suddenly acted like that?
Yes.
And then?
Surprised, right?
He's a bit rough around the edges, but he's not a bad person.
How did you meet?
Just…
It was kind of like a car accident meeting, you know.
That guy hit my sister with his car?
Why are you laughing? I'm being serious.
That's why it's funny.
Shut up!
Oops, I slipped.
My sister pretended everything was fine.
But I could tell,
she also knew that brother-in-law wasn't okay.
And then night came.
Uwaaa…
Ah, shit.
Please…
- Jeong-man, ah… - Answer me, fuck!
Hey, hey.
Ah, please…
Fuck, answer me, fuck!
What do you mean please, fuck, really?
Aaaah!
Hey!
Sister!
Hey, fuck.
You know marital fights are like cutting water with a knife, right?
It's nothing, go back to your room and sleep.
Hey! Hey!
Where are you going?
Hey, hey!
No!
Sister.
Ah, let go!
Hey!
Do-kyung-ah!
Ha!
Still haven't come to your senses?
Ugh, fuck!
Stop it!
Aigoo, seriously.
Hey! Hey! I told you to go inside and sleep, didn't I?
Why don't you ever listen? Fuck, huh?
Jeong-man, stop it!
You think I'm a joke too? Me, huh? Huh? Fuck!
You damn sisters.
Today I'm gonna teach you both a real lesson.
Ha, look at that…
You must have been really scared.
But…
you said your sister swung a rock?
Yes.
How?
She had both hands injured.
Ugh, fuck!
Um, well…
I don't remember clearly…
And the car was pretty badly damaged too.
Did you have an accident on the way here?
I don't know.
You don't know?
I was out of it.
Do you remember the name of that so-called brother-in-law?
Jeong-man, stop it!
What…
Jeong-man.
My sister didn't do anything wrong.
Ma'am, did you hear the whole statement?
Yeah, she said it was the brother-in-law.
- Brother-in-law? - Yeah.
The brother-in-law beat Do-kyung and stabbed the sister.
So the two sisters ran out.
First let's go catch this Jeong-man guy.
Wait, ma'am. — Do-kyung said that?
- Sisters? - Why?
She says they're not real sisters.
What?
The woman currently in surgery
and Do-kyung are not sisters — they're strangers.
Ah!
Look here…
this short-haired nurse is Do-kyung's real sister,
her name is Yoo Mi-kyung.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
People who've worked here a long time all know her.
Then who is the woman on the operating table?
She doesn't know.
We checked her belongings — no ID, nothing.
First time anyone's seen her face.
Do-kyung.
The person in surgery right now — what's her name?
Yoo Mi-kyung.
That's your real sister.
I'm asking about the person you brought to the hospital earlier.
Who was that?
Yoo Mi-kyung, my sister.
Ha…
Look at this.
Who is this person?
My sister, Yoo Mi-kyung.
Then…
who is this?
Who is this person?
Uh…
My… my sister.
Ah, look here.
This is a completely different person.
Uh… uh…
Do-kyung, did you drink?
Ah, sorry, I…
I took medicine.
What medicine?
Medicine.
This part… is a bit broken…
Last year she was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Ah! Wait a second.
Help me! That person is trying to kill me.
You tell them, you say it, quick!
Before that she was treated for severe depression,
the sister said she quit her job to take care of her sibling.
She quit work,
until last year she tried dragging her to the hospital somehow.
Recently, it seems she gave up and just kept her at home.
And then this mess happened.
Did you contact the real sister?
Yes, but she didn't pick up.
Then who is the woman who came with her?
Not real sister, but a close unni maybe.
So she brought her to introduce a guy to marry?
Something like that?
Hmm, weird.
From what I heard, this Jeong-man guy
is a total piece of trash.
Why would she introduce someone like that to a sick person?
Maybe it's just Do-kyung's delusion?
What delusion?
Look — she has schizophrenia.
Sister.
Do-kyung saw Jeong-man negatively,
but that's because she wasn't in her right mind.
Do-kyung-ah.
In reality, he might just be an ordinary person.
Then how do you explain the stabbing?
That…
Ah, got it.
The culprit is Do-kyung herself.
- What? - Have you seen the movie 'Psycho'?
Hey!
No!
Do-kyung thinks the man stabbed her,
but in reality
she stabbed herself.
Aigoo, enough already.
Destination will be reached shortly.
What? This place?
This is… different from what I imagined.
Aigoo, how can I help you?
- We're police - Yes.
This is Musang-myeon Samsan-ri 20-3, correct?
Ah, yes, that's right.
May I ask what brings you here?
Yes.
We received a report of an incident,
a resident here was stabbed with a knife.
Ah, really?
Do you recognize this person by any chance?
Hmm, no, never seen her before.
Then this person?
Ah? 103-dong, unit 1.
Wait, she got hurt?
No, it's her younger sister who was injured.
May we check the CCTV footage?
Ah? There it is.
Here’s the resident list.
103-dong unit 1 — Yoo Mi-kyung lives alone?
No cohabitant listed.
Yes, that's correct.
What time did Mi-kyung leave yesterday?
Around 4 p.m.
She left then and hasn't come back yet.
Ah, maybe Do-kyung really imagined everything?
She's a patient after all.
Damn, should never have trusted a sick person's words.
Tch.
Don't blindly believe everything a healthy person says either,
and don't just dismiss what a sick person says.
Yes, ma'am!
What's certain is that this is not the crime scene,
and it's not where Do-kyung lives either,
but about Do-kyung's sister…
The one who quit her job to care for her sibling,
living alone in such a nice place?
Exactly.
[Snowfield Hospital]
Ah, I have to go, let me go!
Calm down, calm down.
- What's going on? - Let me go!
What's the matter?
Well…
The stab victim finished surgery and needs rest,
but she keeps insisting on going in to see if her sister is okay.
She says she has to check on her sister.
But I already told her — that's not her sister.
We all know that already.
Still, if we just let her see the face for a moment, maybe she'll calm down?
We were going to try that,
but the moment the door opened. - She suddenly charged inside,
we had a really hard time stopping her.
Do-kyung.
Just let me see her once, please.
- Sister, are you okay? Sister! - Do-kyung, Do-kyung!
She needs to rest right now.
If you keep acting like this, she'll get worse.
Come with us instead of staying here.
Take a break with us for a bit — your sister will come around soon.
Okay?
Sister…
It's okay, come with us.
Your real sister still isn't picking up,
but we left a message, so she'll call back soon.
Yeah.
By the way.
We went to the address you gave us,
and it turned out to be Mi-kyung's house.
They live separately, right?
Yes.
Then what's your real address?
The house where your sister and brother-in-law came looking for you.
Is it close to your sister's place?
It's close to the mountain.
Mountain?
There's a mountain nearby.
And anything else?
Nothing else.
Do-kyung.
Did your sister come to see you often?
Sometimes.
How many times a week?
I don't know,
she couldn't come often — she's busy.
Hey, you little shit!
Who do you think you're glaring at?
Do you even know who I am, you bastard?
I don't know who you are, ajusshi.
- I need to go inside. - Shut your mouth, punk!
- You little— - Boss, boss!
Who the hell do you think—
Aigoo, you caught me again.
- Enjoy your drink. - Alright.
How dare you talk back to an elder.
Move aside, move! This guy keeps—
Shall we go to the police station? It's right next door.
Police station, my ass!
Ha, can't get through to you at all.
Talking like you're the police.
Do you know who I am, punk?
Lower your damn eyes.
Boss, boss.
- Let go, let go. - This bottle.
Put it down, quick.
Where the hell did you crawl out from now?
At least put that down first,
if it even brushes someone, it's special assault.
You dropping it or not?
You useless bitch!
You don't give a damn if you die on the street, huh? Fuck.
Hey, give me the bottle.
Not giving it? Huh? Hand it over, now!
- Sorry. - What the— hey!
Where are you going? Leave the bottle!
Hey, you! Not handing it over!
Ptooey.
She's here.
Huh? Yeah.
This is the girl from Samsan-ri.
There was an incident at her house, she can't go back home.
Ah…
Anyway, she has some circumstances.
- Put the room on my tab. - Got it.
She's had a hard day, don't bother her, okay?
Aigoo, understood.
If you need anything.
Pick up the phone and press 0.
It'll connect straight to me at the front desk.
Yes.
I'll write my number down for you too.
Phone…
I don't know where it is.
Ah.
Then I'll just write it down.
Ah, and here are the car keys.
That's not my car.
Please take care of it, detective.
I'm not a detective.
Then I'll keep them for now.
Rest well.
Sister, wake up.
"Tire Repair Kit"
Vehicle registration check shows the owner is Choi Jeong-man.
Check Choi Jeong-man's criminal record.
Yes, one moment.
Hey, ma'am.
This bastard has a prior for kidnapping?
Four years ago, when his girlfriend Jeong Jun-seo wanted to break up,
he forcibly dragged her home, confined her for two days and threatened her,
served three years in prison and got out last year.
Hold on.
Isn't the woman in the hospital Jeong Jun-seo by any chance?
I already checked— it's someone else.
The woman in the hospital too—
thinking she was kidnapped like Jeong Jun-seo… is that just prejudice?
It's a reasonable suspicion.
But if we assume she was also kidnapped,
then why the hell did Choi Jeong-man go to Do-kyeong's house?
How did they meet?
It was some kind of traffic accident meeting, I guess.
Traffic accident?
Huh?
That's what Do-kyeong said.
That her sister and her brother-in-law-to-be met because of a car accident.
Can we even trust that? She has schizophrenia.
We can't take everything a schizophrenic patient says at face value,
but through the specific words Do-kyeong remembers,
we can at least infer what kind of conversation took place.
There was a tire repair kit in the back seat.
Stuff like repair kits is usually kept in the trunk,
so maybe he put it in the back seat because the trunk was occupied by the victim.
Choi Jeong-man kidnapped the victim
and locked her in the trunk,
and—oh yeah—the front bumper was completely smashed in.
He must have had an accident on the way to wherever he was going.
Whoa, whoa, shit—
Whoa, whoa!
If it was just a minor accident,
he probably would have patched it up roughly and kept driving.
Aah—shit!
Since he couldn't do that,
Choi Jeong-man might actually have been injured himself.
Ah…
He couldn't call insurance or an ambulance.
Because there was a kidnapped woman in the trunk.
It feels like it's around here somewhere, but there's nothing.
Hey, if something happens out here, no one would even know.
- Hey, wait… isn't that…? - Huh?
- That house over there, isn't it the one? - Huh?
Oh? Yeah, it is.
Pull over here.
Choi Jeong-man? Are you home?
Police!
What kind of room is this?
Ma'am, did you know Yu Do-kyeong is a writer?
I heard something like that.
Turns out she's no ordinary writer.
She's considered a prodigy in that industry.
At fifteen she already won a major award in some contest,
and she's published more than ten books already.
Wow… so how did she end up like this?
Her parents died suddenly in an accident— must have been a huge shock.
She apparently had a severe panic attack at some book signing.
After that she moved back to her hometown for treatment and just focuses on writing.
Let's see…
Choi Jeong-man must have come in here too.
But why didn't he just leave the victim in the trunk?
Why bring her inside?
To lower suspicion, probably.
A strange man asking for help looks more suspicious
than a strange couple asking for help, I guess that's what he thought.
Hold on.
Still—if the victim mustered the courage to do something unexpected,
everything would fall apart.
Would he really take that risk?
He probably felt confident he could control the situation.
He must have already confirmed there was only one woman in the house.
If things went wrong, he could just overpower
both the victim and Do-kyeong.
But no matter how scary the kidnapper was,
would the victim really have just stayed quiet?
This might have been her last chance to escape.
She might have gathered whatever courage she had.
- Help… - But it wouldn't have worked.
- Please save m— - Sister.
Who's this?
The future brother-in-law, maybe?
Ah, yes—nice to meet you.
Come in.
Ah.
Tch—ow, hot!
Ugh…
I prepared this to celebrate.
Banquet noodles.
Hair…
Eat up.
Once Do-kyeong's mental state became obvious,
Choi Jeong-man probably let his guard down completely.
Speak, huh?
Hey—head up!
Don't bow your head—answer me, huh? Huh?
Ah, this is really…
Get up, I said!
Still no answer?
No, not picking up.
Unbelievable.
Dumping her sick little sister in some remote house
and wandering around God knows where— I'm really curious what she's up to.
- Ugh… - Tch.
Where are you going?
Just gonna take a quick look around.
We haven't even seen the suspect's nose yet.
Wouldn't Choi Jeong-man have bolted a long time ago?
Staying in a place like this, he'd freeze to death.
He might have left some clue behind.
Ugh…
Why do you live like this, ma'am?
- What'd you say, punk? - No, I mean…
that came out wrong.
What I'm saying is…
why can't you just leave this tiny little town?
What, planning to bury your bones in your hometown or something?
Hey—if I leave, who's gonna take care of that old man?
You gonna do it?
Why would I?
Exactly.
So I have to stay and look after him.
And does anyone even appreciate that?
I just want you to live the way you want, however you feel like.
Your life is yours, ma'am.
Stop letting that guy control you and just do what you want…
There are clear signs of severe assault.
Multiple fractures, not just one or two.
Shit…
Cause of death? What'd they say?
We'll only know after the autopsy.
Could be brain hemorrhage from a skull fracture,
or cardiac arrest due to hypothermia.
What about Homicide? They coming to take it?
They said a gambling den in the mountains blew up— they can't come.
Told us to handle it roughly for now.
Got it. Hang up for now.
You're back?
Do-kyeong-ssi, open the door please.
Do-kyeong-ssi.
Do-kyeong-ssi!
Wake up!
Eun-seo-ssi.
What happened…
Yu Do-kyeong-ssi, come out now.
Ah…
You are under arrest for the murder of Choi Jeong-man.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
Anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Wait—what? Who am I supposed to have killed?
The man you called your brother-in-law.
He's lying in the morgue right now.
When he was found, his arms and legs were bound with tape.
There wasn't a single uninjured spot on his entire body.
He was tied up and beaten mercilessly.
But here's the thing…
You already knew, didn't you?
That Choi Jeong-man was dead.
You did it.
My sister didn't do anything wrong.
“My sister didn't do anything wrong.”
The sister who was stabbed—
what exactly didn't she do wrong?
You already knew.
From the moment you left.
That Choi Jeong-man was already dead.
My sister didn't do anything wrong.
That's right.
This sister here didn't do anything wrong.
Because both her hands are fractured.
With hands like that, she couldn't hold a rock or anything.
So in conclusion, the one who smashed Choi Jeong-man's head…
was you, Yu Do-kyeong.
What are you doing right now? Get out immediately.
Yes, we're going.
Wait—wait a second!
Wait, wait—I have something to say to my sister!
Just a second, please!
- Sister, no—no, sister! - Look at this!
That person is not your sister!
Please wake her up just once— I have something to tell her!
No—no, stop, ah…
Where—where are you taking me?
Sister—sister—sister—sister!
I'll call the attending physician.
Ah—no—no!
Doctor!
Sister!
I didn't kill him.
My sister will tell you.
Please let me talk to my sister.
Sister!
Sister—sister—ah! Doctor! Ah, doctor!
Ah!
Sister! Sister!
Sister!
- 200 lines occupied - Occupied.
Shoot!
250 lines occupied, shoot!
Sister!
Are you coming to?
Call the police right now, please.
I saw the killer.
Moo-sang Police Substation, Sergeant Kim Hyun-joo speaking.
You say you witnessed the person who killed Choi Jeong-man?
Yes.
The culprit
isn't Do-kyeong-ssi—it's someone else.
What exactly happened?
I was just coming back from the supermarket near my house
when someone attacked me from behind with a stun gun.
I passed out, and when I woke up,
I was in a trunk.
The moment I realized, “My life is seriously fucked,”
there was an accident.
I don't know how much time passed,
but when I opened my eyes again,
that woman was there.
You're awake.
How's your body feeling?
That woman—Yoo Mi-kyung.
She said she's Do-kyeong-ssi's real older sister. Her name is Yoo Mi-kyung.
So Yoo Mi-kyung was also at the scene?
She must have been really shocked.
There was an accident nearby, so she brought me here for now.
An ambulance is on the way.
The other person in the car…
Who?
Only you were in the car!
Um… could you report this to the police first? I was kidnapped…
Kidnapped?
Mi-kyung-ah.
Ugh…
Don't scare me like that.
I'm gonna cry.
Is the car fixed?
Yeah, roughly.
Roughly?
You gotta do it properly.
I'll take care of it myself.
You'll take care of it?
This is exactly why accidents happen— because you do everything half-assed.
Lucky it happened right in front of the house. What if it happened somewhere else?
Ah, just let me eat, damn it.
Let you?
A bastard like you doesn't deserve to eat.
- Ah, what the hell are you doing?! - 'What the hell am I doing?'
You think this is okay?
I was gonna eat and then go fix it!
Fix it first, then eat.
- Ah, seriously, fuck! - What are we gonna do with her?
Can't I just eat first? Shit…
Ah, fuck, this is so fucking annoying, shit.
What are you doing?
- What? - Looks like her hands are bothering her.
She's trying to pull them out.
Fuck—hey!
You wanna die right now? Huh?!
Don't yell like an idiot.
Just show her with actions.
So that hand injury was Yoo Mi-kyung's doing.
But with injured hands like that, how did you manage to escape?
Wait, hold on.
You’re saying Do-kyeong-ssi was in the bathroom the whole time until then?
- For half a day? - Yes.
That's strange, right?
Even I thought for a second maybe I was seeing things.
Can I continue?
Fuck, fuck—where did she go?
This—shit…
Ah, fuck—she escaped!
She's injured, so she couldn't have gone far.
How would you know?
It's been an hour, two hours since she ran—
How the fuck would you know?!
What? How did you get out again?
Hey, come here.
Did you let her go?
Who are you?
Ah, fuck—this bullshit again!
Hey! Shit—
- Hey, stop it! - Let go!
Hey, I didn't like you from the start.
I'm gonna give you a proper lesson today.
This is all fucked up because of you.
That bitch…
Because of you! Shit!
You fucking idiot!
Why is it because of my sister? It's because of you.
You fucking idiot.
If I had never met you in the first place,
my life wouldn't have turned into this mess!
Ah, fuck! Aaaah!
Ah! Shit—
That woman…
While holding someone captive, the things she said were something else.
“I knew it would end like this someday.”
“That bastard would kill me,
or I would kill that bastard.
For us, the end could only be one of those two.”
Then she grabbed the crying Do-kyeong
and started interrogating her.
It's better that that bastard died than me dying, right?
Right? Huh?
Stop crying!
If it weren't for me, you'd be dead too!
I didn't do anything wrong, right?
My sister didn't do anything wrong.
I didn't do anything wrong, huh.
I'm going to go catch the one who ran away.
It's cold, so you stay inside, okay?
Sister…
- Ugh… - Fuck, you were here?
No—no!
Get up, get up!
Shit…
Come here, you!
Sister—sister, wake up!
Just hold on a little longer.
Sister…
Then I passed out again, and when I woke up, I was here.
Let me just check a few things.
Choi Jeong-man's body was found with his limbs bound.
Did you see who did that?
No.
But when Do-kyeong-ssi and I were leaving,
he wasn't bound yet.
So maybe Yoo Mi-kyung did it?
Then you're saying Yoo Mi-kyung also killed Choi Jeong-man?
Yes.
But that conclusion
is based on circumstantial evidence.
You didn't directly witness the murder scene, right?
Huh?
Up until the moment Do-kyeong-ssi and you escaped,
Choi Jeong-man was still alive.
So you didn't personally see Yoo Mi-kyung killing Choi Jeong-man.
Right?
I'm still not fully calm yet,
so maybe my wording was a bit extreme.
I understand.
It must have been terrifying.
This is turning into a completely different story.
But listening to Eun-seo-ssi, the situation is starting to make sense.
Do-kyeong-ssi thought both Yoo Mi-kyung and Eun-seo were the same person—Yoo Mi-kyung.
That way, everything fits.
What should we do?
Yoo Mi-kyung is still not answering.
Should we put out a wanted notice?
For now, you stall here for a bit.
Huh? What about you, ma'am?
I'm gonna go soak for a while.
You little shit, you're nothing.
Ugh, you useless bitch.
You thought you were something special?
You little nothing becoming a cop?
This part's a bit broken, so she takes medication.
She was diagnosed with schizophrenia last year.
Did I say that?
I'm still not fully calm, so maybe my wording was extreme.
They're not sisters— they're complete strangers.
The culprit isn't Do-kyeong-ssi, it's someone else.
My sister didn't do anything wrong.
Yoo Mi-kyung— maybe Yoo Mi-kyung did it?
Ah, you filthy worm.
Can't you stay still?
Do-kyeong-ssi, do you prefer pouring sauce or dipping?
I prefer devouring.
Eat first—I'll make a quick call.
Okay.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey, don't Yu Do-kyeong and Han Eun-seo seem way too perfectly matched?
- Perfectly matched? - One dead, two injured,
and they both claim zero fault— the culprit is Yoo Mi-kyung.
Meanwhile, we haven't even seen Yoo Mi-kyung's face once.
Yeah…
Now that you mention it, they do seem suspiciously matched.
- Let's go back to the beginning. - Huh?
Back to the start.
Let's think about it plainly and normally for once.
Remember Do-kyeong-ssi's statement?
Yes—Han Eun-seo is her real sister,
and Choi Jeong-man is her brother-in-law.
Right.
Those weird details clouded the real picture, don't you think?
Let's ignore all that and rethink from scratch.
- How? - Okay.
Yu Do-kyeong is alone at home
when Han Eun-seo and the kidnapper arrive.
Do-kyeong senses something off
and helps Eun-seo escape.
In the process, Han Eun-seo gets stabbed,
and Choi Jeong-man ends up dead. How's that?
That makes sense too,
but if that's the case, how is it any different from Do-kyeong-ssi's statement?
Hey, it's completely different.
Don't you get the point of what I'm saying?
Yu Do-kyeong—that woman— might actually be of sound mind.
Think about it.
Yu Do-kyeong drove herself all the way to the hospital.
Could a schizophrenic patient who can't even recognize her own sister's face
really do that?
Talk to Yu Do-kyeong again.
Don't treat her like a sick person— approach her without prejudice.
Something might come up.
Isn't writing hard for you?
It is hard.
But it's okay because my sister helps me.
How does your sister help you?
She buys ramen for me,
buys water for me,
buys toilet paper for me,
and takes care of my medicine.
She helps me think too.
How does she help you think?
Ha…
To help me concentrate,
she locks the door.
She locks the door?
She holds it shut too.
One hour…
Two hours…
Ugh…
Three hours…
Four hours…
Sister! Sister!
Five hours…
Seven hours…
Eight hours…
Sister—sister!
Ah, sister— just once, just open it once!
Open the door!
Just once, just open it once, sister!
Can't you stay still? You useless bitch.
Aaaah!
Sister! Sister!
Nine hours…
Ten hours…
Inside there, even the sense of time disappears.
Sister, I was wrong.
Sister! Sister!
Open the door!
Sister, open the door!
Open the door—open it!
Upon checking, over the past five years from Do-kyeong-ssi's account,
there were 156 withdrawals totaling 1.28 billion won,
and 132 of those were made at the ATM in front of Yoo Mi-kyung's house.
Do-kyeong-ssi had no knowledge of this.
It appears Yoo Mi-kyung kept Do-kyeong confined at home
and was siphoning off Do-kyeong's money.
I'm going home now.
Wouldn't it be better to stay here?
No one's at home anyway.
My sister will come.
We still can't reach your sister.
If I wait, she'll come eventually.
Criminals always return to the scene.
Then we'll give you a ride.
I'll go alone—it's more comfortable that way.
Ah, almost forgot— could you sign this, please?
Ah, I'm so forgetful.
Do-kyeong-ssi, you don't have to sign.
Please, just one.
If it's too many, even just one book.
- This is my first time meeting a real writer. - Hey, punk.
Just one.
Thank you.
You picked it yourself.
Is this your favorite book?
Yes.
I'm honored.
Are you sure you don't want us to drive you?
Yes.
Thank you for everything.
I'll have to check in on her from time to time.
Hey, aren't you going home?
I should.
Man, this book is really depressing.
“The Woman in the White Car”?
Yeah, the protagonist ends up committing suicide.
Want to borrow it?
You haven't read it?
I know the plot just from the summary.
Tch.
- You're heading home, right? - Ugh…
Yeah, I should.
Where are you off to, ma'am?
I'm going back to the hospital to talk to her again.
Hey, where are the car keys?
Ah, seriously, ma'am…
You always leave the keys scattered everywhere,
so I put them right here…
…put them right here?
Ah, this is driving me crazy, seriously.
Where the hell did she go?
Maybe she went to the hospital? The hospital, right?
Let's head to the hospital.
How did that novel end again?
The protagonist commits suicide.
How?
By driving the car off a cliff—like a bungee jump.
- You go check the hospital. - What about you, ma'am?
You picked it yourself.
Is this your favorite book?
Yes.
You really don't want us to drive you?
No.
Do-kyeong-ssi!
My sister is calling me.
Wait—hold on, just a second.
Hey, talk to me for a minute.
She's calling again.
Come here.
Don't listen to her.
Your sister is the one who hurt you badly.
No.
I'm the problem.
She said she did everything for my sake.
But I broke down,
became useless.
That old man in the motel room…
That's my father.
When he drinks,
he'd dunk my head in a basin
and water-torture me.
Do you know what he always said to me?
“You useless bitch.”
Did that sound like something done for my sake?
Your sister
is exactly the same as my father.
People like that are just bad people.
You can't just endure it because they're family.
You can't accept it.
Don't get caught up in the bad words bad people say.
Please…
It's okay.
Large amounts of each other's blood were found on Yoo Mi-kyung's and Choi Jeong-man's bodies.
A notebook with numbers written in it was discovered near the accident site.
Interpreting those numbers as longitude and latitude coordinates,
a search of the location yielded
We found it!
Here—we found it!
We were able to recover the body of the missing person Jeong Jun-seo.
Here—we found it!
Jeong Jun-seo was the victim previously kidnapped and confined by Choi Jeong-man.
Due to that incident, Choi Jeong-man served time in prison.
Harboring resentment after his release,
he appears to have murdered and disposed of Jeong Jun-seo shortly after.
Subsequently, Choi Jeong-man
also targeted
Han Eun-seo, who had been questioning Jeong Jun-seo's whereabouts,
with the intent to kidnap and kill her.
However, when the plan went awry,
he was killed by his accomplice Yoo Mi-kyung.
Yoo Mi-kyung herself died from a fall while fleeing.
That appears to be the sequence of events.
My parents divorced when I was in middle school.
I stayed with my dad and remained Han Eun-seo.
Jun-seo went with Mom
and became Jeong Jun-seo after meeting her stepfather.
I'll call you.
Go inside.
Even though our last names changed,
we're still family, so let's see each other often, we said.
But it didn't turn out that way.
When I heard Jun-seo went missing, I blamed myself so much.
That wasn't your fault, Eun-seo-ssi.
That bastard was the evil one.
I'm so furious I could go crazy.
I was trembling so much in front of that guy.
If I'd known beforehand he was the one who killed Jun-seo,
I wouldn't have acted so weakly.
Still—he's dead now,
and you're alive, Eun-seo-ssi.
So you won.
Did I win?
That sounds good to hear.
Father!
Yeah?
I'm getting transferred.
To a place so far and nice you'll never find me.
You little…
Ah, you useless bitch, huh?
After all I did raising you,
now that your head's a bit bigger, you think you're hot shit…
Even if my mouth is crooked, let's speak straight.
The useless one isn't me—it's you.
And who raised who?
I grew up on my own.
What the hell are you saying right now?
Parents have to act like parents to be parents.
Even family has its limits.
I'm done trying to hold onto you while you live however you please.
I won't make any more effort.
Thanks for giving birth to me.
Let's never meet again.
Hey—hey—hey, you bitch! Hey, you bitch!
You—hey—you—hey, you bitch!
Oh my god—hey, come here!
Hey, you bitch! Hey!
We still
have something to talk about, don't we?
You know who this is, right?
You think you went to prison because of this person.
She's been out of contact since January last year—
less than a month after you got out!
What did you do to my sister?
I'm going to start peeling off the tape now.
Tell me where my sister is and what you did to her.
Every time you spout nonsense,
I'll pull one out.
Humans have twenty-eight teeth,
so I'll have fun with this up to twenty-eight times.
After that, we'll see what happens next.
Mmmph!
No, it wasn't me!
Huh? Ah…
Wait—wait, hold on!
Aaaaah—wait, just a second!
Huh?
Ugh…
Is anyone home?
Ugh…
Who are you?
I should be asking you that.
You're the one who broke into someone else's house, aren't you?
Ah, yeah…
Sorry.
Um…
I had a little accident nearby…
I saw.
Did you call insurance?
I'm just gonna let it go— it's not a big accident.
So, about that…
Do you happen to have any tools to fix a tire at home?
Yeah.
You do? Great!
Could I borrow them?
No problem.
But in return…
could you do one favor for me?
A favor?
Give me a ride.
Huh?
When you leave here,
take me with you.
Hm…
I have urgent business, so that might be difficult.
What kind of business?
I'm on a business trip.
I have a meeting with a client.
Ah, I see.
Then for that meeting…
is the guy in your trunk planning to attend too?
Don't act rash.
This hand can't do anything.
Driving is already risky enough,
and one slip-up could get you turned on by that guy in the trunk.
So me coming along
isn't a bad deal for you either.
I have no intention of interfering with whatever your plan is.
So, what'll it be?
Help me…
The car's all fixed.
Let's eat and head out right away.
You could've left without eating.
Figured you hadn't eaten all day.
Why aren't you asking anything?
If I ask,
I'd have to answer too.
Is there a bigger secret than driving around with a man in your trunk?
Did you… kill someone, by any chance?
There are two sets of utensils but only one person,
so I considered the extreme possibility.
One's mine, the other's my sister's—
but my sister doesn't live here.
Anything else weird?
With that sharp observation, didn't you notice anything else strange?
The front door is set to lock from the outside.
Like a prison.
It is a prison.
My sister labeled me a mental patient
and locked me up.
Your sister?
Why?
For the money.
Ah…
My sister…
Ah…
She's trying to take all of my assets.
From all the earnings she's made so far,
to the entire inheritance our parents left behind.
By any chance… are you actually not sick at all?
I saw the room.
Even a sane person would go crazy in there.
If it looked that way, then mission accomplished.
I'm just pretending to be crazy enough.
That way my sister lets her guard down a little.
And that's how
I can escape.
I see.
You actually
believe me?
I'm someone who's willing to kill for my little sister.
If there's a sister like me,
then yeah, there could be the opposite kind too.
And honestly, to put it bluntly,
whether what you're saying is true or not
is none of my business.
I like how straightforward you are.
You don't suspect me recklessly or pity me,
so… should I say thank you?
Let's not do that.
Both our lives are already complicated enough—
getting attached for no reason would just be exhausting.
It's my sister.
Who are you?
- Ah, sister, that's… - You go inside.
Hello.
I was passing nearby, got lost, and then had an accident,
so I was just staying here for a bit.
It's late— if you're done with your business, please leave.
The car's not fixed yet.
I'll stay just one night and go.
Hey, listen—
At this hour,
you can't just call someone to this remote place.
You understand, right?
Ah!
Where do you think you're going with someone else's sister at night?
You stupid bitch!
Still haven't come to your senses? You dare try to run away?
Run away?
Ah…
- Stop it! - What the hell?
Ha, shit…
That's why I'm asking— why are you meddling in someone else's family business, huh?
Hey!
Who the hell are you to be here?!
Hey!
Hey, what are you?
You wanna die?
Ugh—shit!
No— I have to take that bastard with me.
Let's go—come on, let's go.
- No! - Aaaah!
Uh… uh… what do we do?
No…
Get up!
Where did you bury my sister?
Where is my sister?!
Hey!
Get up.
Did that guy say anything before he died?
Did you hear anything?
What did you hear?!
Ah…
Ha…
I knew it would end like this someday.
Either my sister kills me,
or I kill my sister.
For us, one of those two is the only ending.
Ugh…
Get up—we need to clean this up.
You gonna just sit there like that?
None of it matters anymore.
Now that that bastard's dead,
my sister buried somewhere in that mountain
will never be found.
So what?
You want us to just go to prison together like good friends?
I don't care.
If I told you where my sister is buried,
would that change things?
Just do exactly what I say.
Then I'll tell you exactly where in that mountain your sister is buried.
I'll tell you.
How would you know that?
I'll tell you everything.
So from now on,
stay sharp and focused.
Remember every word I say.
Memorize it,
and tell the police exactly that.
Can you do that?
This hand too— better to secure it like this for safety.
- On three. - Just do it now.
I did everything you said.
Now it's your turn to keep your promise.
Where my sister is buried.
How did you know that?
A year ago, a car passed by near my house.
The entire area around our house is private property,
so it was a very rare occurrence.
I thought this might be my only chance,
so I broke the window
and followed the car, hoping to ask for help.
A man
was burying a body—I witnessed it.
Ah… oh my god… ah…
At that time,
I had no choice but to let that man go.
The man in the trunk was the same one from back then—
I only realized that later.
I never knew from the beginning and hid it—absolutely not.
Please believe me.
I see.
Is that all?
Nothing more to say?
There is.
Thank you.
For saving me.
I was just saving myself.
If you're going to thank someone,
thank the nail that punctured the tire instead.
I'm leaving.
Take care.
Announcement:
The bus to Seoul will depart at exactly 12 o'clock.
Passengers with tickets, please…
Ah, sorry.
Is that your favorite book?
Yes.
This book has really depressing content.
The protagonist ends up committing suicide.
By driving the car off a cliff like a bungee jump.
What does that mean? She fell out of the car?
My sister's calling.
She's calling again.
Do-kyeong-ssi!
We found it!
If I'd known beforehand that guy was the one who killed Jun-seo,
I wouldn't have acted so weakly.
You witnessed the person who killed Choi Jeong-man?
Yes.
That woman—Yoo Mi-kyung.
Aaaaah!
I won? That sounds good to hear.
Don't you get the core of what I'm saying?
Yu Do-kyeong—that woman— might actually be of sound mind.
Ah, got it.
The ambulance and backup will be here soon, so just hold on a little longer.
Someone like me…
Can I still live like a real person?
Of course.
Why ask something so obvious?
Thank you—for saving me.
I was just saving myself.
If you're going to thank someone, thank the nail that punctured the tire instead.
If you wait long enough, he'll come eventually.
Criminals always return to the scene of the crime.
Ugh!
Someone like me…
Can I still live like a real person?
Of course— why ask something so obvious?
Because it's coming from someone who's been through it.
So believe me.
