Ms. Byeon Chun-hui.
Please come with us.
Can I…
have a moment to talk with my children?
Yu-bin.
Yeong-bin.
Mommy's going to go somewhere with that man…
and be right back, okay?
No.
Mom, don't go.
Please.
Mom.
-Mom. -Mom.
Is it because of me?
I won't give you a hard time anymore.
And I won't lie anymore.
-No, it's not that. -I'll listen to everything you say.
No, Yu-bin. It's not that.
It's not that, Yu-bin.
No, it's not that, Yu-bin.
It's not that, Yu-bin.
-Mom. -It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's not.
Look at Mommy.
Mommy's going to come back. I'll come back no matter what, okay?
You know Mommy loves you more than anything else, right?
You two are all I've got.
You have to remember that.
-Mom. -Mom.
Mom.
Eun-pyo.
Please look after my kids for me.
Yu-bin.
-Mom. -Yu-bin.
-Mom.
It's okay.
Mom!
Yu-bin.
Mom!
-Mom! -Yu-bin.
Mom.
She's going to be right back.
Mom.
This is the doll you were looking for, right?
He found Ruby for you.
You've been working with red-light district workers,
housewives, models, and even celebrities for the past three years.
That's quite a wide range of clientele.
Did you ever run into any accidents when injecting your clients?
No, that never happened.
Then what happened with Ms. Seo Jin-ha?
What are you--
Jang Won-tae told us everything.
So I'm asking you if Ms. Seo Jin-ha died because of an adverse drug reaction.
No, that's not the case at all.
I saw her wake up with my own eyes.
I was the one who refused when she asked for more doses.
I'm telling the truth. I even have a witness.
You don't know how etomidate works.
The hallucination only lasts for a short period
and as soon as you wake up, the effects wear off immediately.
The fact that Henry's mother died that day was a pure coincidence.
Ms. Byeon Chun-hui.
Dong-seok's father.
More than that,
I thought there was…
something off about her husband.
That day…
while Henry's mother had fallen asleep,
I went into Henry's room to look at some of his studying materials.
Henry's father wasn't anywhere close to the room.
He was in the study
on the phone with someone.
But when he was asked about it,
he said that he was trying to put his boy to sleep and had no idea.
He even asked me
if I'd given her any medication.
Did she not ask you for any drugs?
My wife was suffering from severe insomnia.
I was so shocked
that I had to leave the situation.
When was that?
I think…
it was maybe
about one month after she died.
I was so scared
that he would report me.
But he didn't say anything to anyone.
Doesn't that come off as strange to you?
Why did you quit your job all of a sudden?
Looking at your records here,
you once killed a person and it was classified as manslaughter.
That wasn't me.
The hospital blamed it on me to cover up for one of their doctors.
A doctor? Which doctor?
You'll have to give us a name for us to check if you're telling the truth.
My husband.
Look here, Ms. Byeon Chun-hui.
If you're going to tell lies, at least make them sound believable.
How can you drag anyone into the corner whenever you get vulnerable?
Don't you think that's a bit shameless?
EPISODE 16 THE WARM HAND YOU EXTENDED
I'm the one who reported it!
Isn't it right to get punished if you did something wrong?
But still, how could you report someone?
Did she ever do anything to hurt you personally?
Yes, she did!
Remember what her daughter did to Su-in?
That was something that happened between the kids!
Don't be ridiculous.
You even stayed in touch with her behind my back!
If I never confronted you about it, wouldn't you have run off with her?
Hey!
I told you Chun-hui and I aren't like that!
"Chun-hui"?
All right. Now your true colors are coming out.
Let's just stop this.
You're just so sick and tired of me, right?
You'd toss me out if you could, right?
Jeez.
You hate me because I reported your girlfriend, right?
Seriously, come on!
Darn it!
Seriously!
Damn it.
Get out.
I can't live with someone
who cares about his ex-girlfriend more than he does his wife or kid.
Jae-ung.
I'm sorry.
I feel so ashamed.
I know nothing I say can forgive my actions--
Do you…
even know what you did wrong?
You were harboring a criminal and even assisting escape.
Normally, I'd have to arrest you too.
Did you even know that she was injecting your dead friend Seo Jin-ha with drugs?
I'm saying that your friend's death
might be because of that woman.
No.
That can't be true.
She said Jin-ha was still alive when she left her house.
Jul-pin's mom told me that she heard the two of them fighting.
Do you think drugs only act to make a person feel good?
It increases their impulsivity and appetite for destruction too.
No.
I'm sure it's not like that.
Are you really that dumb?
What does that woman…
mean to you?
What are you doing here?
I'm here for my kids.
Mr. Kim Ju-seok,
Don't think that you're in the clear.
We're still investigating other crimes.
Hello, Yu-bin's father.
I'm here for my kids. Please open the door.
I'm sorry but the kids are still sleeping. Could you come back later?
What are you talking about?
Just open the door, please.
Yeong-bin!
Yu-bin! Let's go home.
Yu-bin!
Hello?
You might think I'm a total scumbag
but I'm not a bad person.
I still know enough to hold my children precious!
Yu-bin!
-It's Dad! Yeong-bin, let's go home! -Dad?
Yu-bin! It's Dad, Yu-bin!
-Dad! -Yu-bin.
Where's your brother?
-Dad! -Hey, Yeong-bin.
Put your shoes on. Let's go home.
-Let me get their jackets. -Let's go.
Let's go home.
Wait…
I'm sorry for asking to meet on such short notice.
I just have a few questions I'd like to ask.
What time does Henry usually go to bed?
Sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m.
I see…
And you never woke up once while sleeping with Henry that day?
Then I guess you had no idea until the morning…
that the incident occurred.
Didn't I already explain everything to you?
You did.
But it's just that
we have a witness who testified that you were awake at that time.
Why did you…
meet up with Ms. Byeon Chun-hui?
What were you trying to check?
You were already aware of the fact that Ms. Byeon
was giving sedatives to Ms. Seo.
Why didn't you share that fact with the police?
For my kid's sake.
I didn't want to reveal anything about his mother's wrongdoings.
I'm saying that your friend's death
might be because of that woman.
PROFESSOR LEE YEONG-GUN
Hello, Professor.
Hey.
Did you sort out that urgent matter from yesterday?
Yes.
I don't know what could be more important than your work with me at the moment.
Either way, I hope you haven't forgotten about today's meeting with professors.
I haven't.
On your way over, drop by the school and pick me and Professor Park up.
And if you can, bring something nice so they don't get their feelings hurt.
Yes, Professor.
Don't be late.
Yes, sir.
How are the kids?
Their father came and took them.
Yu-bin started crying as soon as she heard her dad's voice.
I'm sorry.
No, it's fine.
Being with their dad is better than being with someone else.
I…
forced you to bear such a heavy burden.
I'm sorry.
There's…
something I want to ask you.
My husband told me that
on the day that Jin-ha died,
you were there…
to give her an injection.
That's not true, is it?
He's mistaken, right?
So you've been deceiving me this entire time?
Even though you knew what I was going through?
I asked you so many times
about what happened that day!
I'm sorry.
I just…
couldn't bring myself to tell you.
I had no idea.
Is it also true…
that Jin-ha died because of the injection that you gave her?
No.
Eun-pyo, that's not true at all.
She and I even had a long talk together after she woke up.
I'm telling the truth. She was completely fine.
Eun-pyo, I…
I…
I wasn't able to tell you this until now,
but there was something very strange about her husband.
I saw it clearly.
I saw that he was awake.
But then…
he told everyone that he had no idea what happened because he was sleeping.
It even seemed like he was aware that I was giving her the injections.
And despite all that,
he never filed a report and just tried to cover everything up.
I'm sorry.
This is too much for me right now.
I'll come back another time.
Eun-pyo.
Eun-pyo!
The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.
SECRETARY KIM PHARM DE LYON
Excuse me.
You…
Who…
Who are you?
I'm sorry.
I think you have the wrong person.
Wait!
Wait, there's something I needed to ask you.
I'm sorry,
but do you happen to know Seo Jin-ha?
No.
Do I look that much like someone you know?
Well, yes.
You look so much like this friend of mine.
I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.
Don't worry, it happens.
The world is a big place after all.
Hold on!
Rhéa…
Rhéa Benuel.
Louis…
Louis Benuel?
How are they related?
The title of the book is An Adoptee, the Eternal Stranger.
The reasons why I'm writing this book…
I want to comfort my sister,
who's grieving the loss of her parents.
PROFESSOR LEE YEONG-GUN
Hey, Eun-pyo.
I forgot to mention this earlier,
but you know that wine bar I like right in front of the school?
They recently received a big shipment of some great wine from France.
Why don't you go over there and buy about ten bottles of wine?
While you're at it, pick out a bottle for each other professors too, will you?
I'm sorry, Professor.
I don't think I'll be able to make it tonight.
What's this bizarre nonsense?
I already talked to all of the other professors.
I'm really sorry, Professor.
There's something urgent that I need to take care of.
Are you trying to let me down again?
Lee Eun-pyo, mark my words.
If you don't keep your promise today,
consider our relationship over.
Do you think that's all?
You'll never be able to show your face around Geoseong University ever again.
Do you understand?
I'm sorry,
but no matter how many times I reconsider it,
my other obligation is more urgent to me.
Listen here, Lee Eun-pyo!
Hey, Dad.
Yes?
Aren't you going to the hospital today?
I'm on break, so it's fine.
Eat up.
When can we see mom?
You'll see her soon.
Eat up.
MR. LEE MAN-SU
What did you want to see me for, Mr. Lee?
I heard Ms. Byeon Chun-hui was arrested by the police.
Damn it.
Where did you hear that?
Then have you also heard she's going to be given
a harsher sentence because of her past record?
So?
You should testify if you want to shorten her sentence.
The statute of limitations for that expired.
Wait.
What are you yapping about right now?
Are you high?
Who are you to mind other people's business?
Are you Chun-hui's boyfriend or something?
Hey.
Are you really her boyfriend?
Damn.
No wonder why she's been dying to get a divorce.
Byeon Chun-hui and I don't have that kind of relationship that you think.
If not that, then what is it?
What the hell is it supposed to be then?
Hey, punk.
How can a lame salesman like you flirt with a doctor's wife?
And as if that's not enough, you're acting like her boyfriend?
This is all your fault, punk.
It's all your fault.
What are you going to do, punk?
-This is all because of you, bastard! -You damn coward!
She went through all of that just to make things work with you.
Does that not make you feel anything?
Damn it.
PRINT LOCATION
I dedicate this book to my sister Rhéa, who kept me safe during my childhood,
and my son, Henry, who keeps me safe in the present.
And with that, I was adopted to France from Korea.
At the home I was adopted into, there was already another Asian child.
She had been adopted before me.
She was a Chinese adoptee and her name was Rhéa.
As Antoine entered puberty he began to rebel.
He wanted to know why his family had to suffer because of the adoptees.
It was no secret that he hated us.
She loved us, of course,
but it broke her heart that her own son wasn't getting all of the love he needed.
Rhéa and I had no choice but to rely on each other.
RHÉA AND I…

RHEA, GREEK MOTHER OF THE GODS
MODERN INTERPRETATION OF MYTHS
YEARBOOK 2020 HAPPY GRADUATION PROFESSEURE RHEA BENUEL
YEARBOOK 2020
LOUIS BENUEL
It's me, Louis.
I'd like it if we could meet up.
Rhéa told me that she ran into someone who seemed to know her.
When she said that the person knew how to speak French, I knew it was you.
I figured I needed to explain myself.
That's why I called you.
AN ADOPTEE, THE ETERNAL STRANGER
Is this why…
you married Jin-ha?
Because she looked just like her?
Now it all makes sense.
Both Jin-ha and I…
were just replacements for her.
Don't say that.
Did Jin-ha know?
Is that why she was suffering?
Is that why she wanted to kill herself?
How could you cause
that much pain to a person?
It's common for people to marry someone who looks like their first love.
Is that really something you can blame me for?
Yes, I admit it.
All of this is my fault.
Jin-ha was suffering because of that.
That's happened to her.
That night…
you were with Jin-ha, right?
You're…
hiding something.
What are you talking about?
Why were you trying to cover everything up?
Why did you lie?
Even when all those pictures of Jin-ha were going around on the internet,
-you said not to keep looking into it! -Stop it!
Do you have any idea what kind of hell my life was?
People like you who have everything would never know.
Do you have any idea what kind of pain we shared?
You pushed her, didn't you?
You killed her
because you wanted to be with that woman.
Right?
-Where are you going? -Let go!
Let go of me!
It was also painful for me to come this far.
You and I used to be in love.
Is it too much for me to ask you to wish for my happiness?
Where's Dad?
You're up?
I'm sorry. It must be too bright for you.
He stepped outside for a moment.
If there's anything you need, just let me know.
Why am I at the hospital?
If you look right here,
there's something called the appendix.
That part was having a hard time so you got surgery.
You did a good job, little man.
But…
why do you look so much like my mom?
I'm not sure.
Maybe even God makes mistakes from time to time.
Is that why…
my mom was in so much pain?
Tell me
what happened that day.
I want to know everything.
No.
I need to know.
I received a phone call.
It was our first customer
and they said it seemed like she was new to this kind of thing,
so I should be careful.
But the person who opened the door to the hotel room
was Henry's mother.
From that day on,
she'd find every excuse to call me
even though
I told her I wasn't going to do it anymore.
She was reckless.
On that day,
Henry's mother…
cried a lot.
Now that I think about it,
it was all her sadness that just came out at once.
But…
I could barely handle my own situation.
So I didn't want to listen to her.
Are you up?
The pineapple…
Eun-pyo's mom…
only gave the pineapple
to Eun-pyo.
She would let me
lay on her lap
and she would pat my head.
But all of a sudden…
she said I'm someone else's child.
You smell like a mom, ma'am.
Are you sure it's not the smell of paint?
She was so nice to me.
It really…
felt like I had a mom.
It was so nice.
But…
she was lying the entire time.
Whenever I thought of that,
right here…
my heart
would sting from the pain.
When I saw her for the first time in 20 years,
she couldn't even recognize me.
But Eun-pyo…
doesn't know how special what she has truly is.
Even though it was her who hurt me first,
she asked me if I have a mental problem.
She said I was as sly as a snake.
Is it true?
Am I…
that strange?
Am I that strange?
Am I…
Am I really that strange?
Tell me.
Am I really that strange?
Henry's mother was bawling her eyes out.
But I cast her to the side and left.
And after that,
you have no idea…
how hard it was for me too.
I wanted to do anything I could…
to deny it.
But if there was any chance…
that Henry's mother died because of me,
what then?
I was so scared and drained.
I'm sorry, Eun-pyo.
VISITING ROOM
Gosh, you didn't even call.
It is said that since a long time ago,
couples secretly used to come here to enjoy their time together.
When couples come here and kiss each other…
Goodness.
Your sister-in-law said that one of the parents brought this as a present.
Try some, it's good.
Also, this place has a wonderful nickname.
It's called Venice of France and it's also…
What's going on?
What is it that's making you cry like this?
I just feel so pathetic.
I'm so embarrassed.
Of what?
Mom…
Did you just wake up?
Get some more sleep. It's still early in the morning.
Dad.
On that day,
it happened around this time too, right?
Dad!
No, Dad!
Not you too, Dad!
I was never going to say anything.
It's all my fault!
I'm sorry.
Not you too, Dad.
LOUIS BENUEL
It's been…
too much for me.
I kept on telling myself that I had no other choice
and fooling myself
that it was all coincidence.
-Hey, Dong-sik. -Yes?
You collected all the electronics that were on the scene, right?
Yes, of course.
Was there a laptop or not?
There wasn't.
Then why is there a laptop charger plugged into the power strip?
Hey, Hyeok-ho, the laptop…
Hyeok-ho, check the man's whereabouts.
Dong-sik, hurry and get the car ready.
-Check his flight records too! -Yes, sir!
Come on, hurry!
My parents passed away last year in an accident.
And I was reunited with Rhéa…
for the first time in 20 years.
For God created us to be imperishable,
and made us and image of his own eternity.
The souls of the righteous…
We immediately knew that we had missed each other.
In the eyes of the foolish…
Rhéa, it's me.
I just wanted to ask if you knew of any publishers here in France.
I kept contacting her, using the book as an excuse.
HAVE YOU STILL NOT MADE UP YOUR MIND? I'M READY TO BE WITH YOU
I tried to convince her.
Every day.
And one day…
No, come back to me.
I finally got the answer I had been waiting for.
Rhéa?
It's me.
Thanks.
I don't know.
Are you making fun of me?
No, I can't.
But…
after getting a positive response,
I wasn't sure how to convince Jin-ha.
But in any case,
I shouldn't have left her like that.
Was this the reason?
I'm sorry.
But…
you have to let me go.
I…
I understand everything now, Honey.
I couldn't figure out why it felt like I was living with an empty shell.
I thought…
I was the strange one.
I tried all different types of medication and I even went to therapy.
I tried practically everything.
Now I know
that my intuition was right.
Wasn't it?
Jin-ha!
It's dangerous!
Why are you doing this?
Why?
I think I knew…
since a long time ago
that this was going to happen.
I was so afraid that I might die just like my mother did.
But now…
I'm afraid that I might end up
living like her.
Just…
let me do what I want to do.
Or…
whatever it is that you want me to do.
-Hey, over there. -What?
Damn it.
What's up?
Jae-ung.
Louis Benuel…
is at the station right now.
What?
He says he wants to turn himself in.
But…
why do you want to reveal the truth
all of a sudden?
I'm not supposed to be happy…
By leaving Henry all alone…
we deserve this hell.
Hello.
Is there anything you're looking for?
Hey, is that all you can do?
Use your feet more.
See? I can swing much higher than you.
What? No, I can swing higher than you.
What?
Then try jumping.
I'm sure I can jump further.
Sure, let's try.
Then let's jump off together.
-One, two, three! -One, two, three!
They say it's hard to really get to know a person.
Can she come out for the funeral?
I read online that it's hard
for inmates to come out unless it's a special circumstance.
I'm not sure.
Wait.
Hyeok-ho, give me the keys.
Yun-ju.
How have you been?
I just…
The thing is…
There's something I haven't had the chance to say to you.
I wanted to say…
that I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that you met a guy like me and went through so much hardship.
I'm sorry that I've given you so much pain because of my past.
You might not believe it,
but I never once regretted getting married to you.
I've always been grateful.
And…
The fact that you and Su-in
are the two most important people in my life hasn't changed.
As for Su-in…
Never mind, I should get going.
Chun-hui!
It's going to be okay.
Everything will get better.
I'll go visit you.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Is there good news or something?
Why are you smiling like that?
-What's going on? -Come inside.
-I really hope I win this one! -What?
I spun it wrong.
Now it's my turn, right?
I'm going to lose! No!
-It's spinning so fast. Come on! -No!
-I won! Come on! -No!
Right before it stops!
Come on!
I won!
-Oh, no! -I won!
-How do you do that, Dong-seok? -He copied me!
Watch this.
If you hold it really hard right here, then it spins even faster.
Really?
Look at this, I have so many flowers.
Guys, today I have something really fun planned for us.
-All right. -What is it?
What does this look like to you?
-Onions. -Onions.
-Garlic. -Radishes.
-Radishes? -A pumpkin.
-A carrot? -I can see peppers too.
Peppers? You're right.
Then what if I do this?
-My gosh! -It's a fat man.
-A grandpa. -An old man.
It turned into a face, didn't it?
-Then about this one? -An old man with flowers!
Right? His hair is made up of flowers.
-Yes. -Why don't we use
the ingredients in front of us to make some human faces?
-Okay. -All right.
YE-SEUL USED A VARIETY OF INGREDIENTS
TO MAKE A HUMAN FACE
-See you later. -Bye.
-Right, Man-su. -Yes?
You know that ox bone soup restaurant right by your office?
Can you grab two orders on your way home? Su-in loves that.
All right.
They charge for plastic bags there.
Hold on.
What are you looking for?
Grocery bag.
This?
Gosh, what a good husband.
See you later.
Honey.
-Can I buy some beers too? -Sure.
-See you later. -See you later.
TO: LEE EUN-PYO
BROCCOLI'S HOMEMADE JAM WORKSHOP
JUL-PIN'S MOM
Did it arrive safely? Nothing was cracked?
Yes, everything arrived safely.
I thought I only ordered ten. There's one extra that came with it.
Oh, that?
I added one extra jar for you, Dong-seok's mom.
Thanks to you, I've been getting so many orders from Sangwe-dong.
I've been so busy keeping up with the orders.
Oh, please. I'm sure word got around about how delicious your jam is.
When did you get so good at making jams?
Oh, the thing is…
As you know, when it comes to cooking,
it depends on how much love and care the cook imbues into her food,
as well as her willingness to use plenty of ingredients.
Of course, a good sense of moral responsibility for food.
Also, countless nights of research…
I have a customer.
-I'll call you again later. -All right.
Hello.
Welcome, come on in.
-I wonder what's good today. -Hey, Ji-yeon.
I'm still in the middle of making the strawberry jam.
What should we do? Do you want to try the fig jam?
Eun-pyo, are you ready?
Yes.
Let's go.
That's more than ten years of difference.
-So her dad goes to her, to his daughter… -Hello.
-Come in. -Hello.
So even though there's an age gap of 18 years, it's no big deal.
And they opened it because he has the money.
Hey, what are we all gossiping about so seriously?
There's a new octopus restaurant right at the intersection.
-I see. -It's incredible.
Goodness.
Su-in's dad loves octopuses. I better go check it out.
-Where was it? -In front of the bank.
You have to go.
Even if you hate octopuses, you still have to go, you know?
It's where you'll learn what real octopuses taste like.
I'm pretty sure the chef had some experience studying abroad.
Because it tastes super similar to the octopus I ate when I visited Italy.
When you go to Italy,
they have an entire street dedicated to octopuses all along the beach.
When you go there they have these divers, right?
They were all guys, so maybe I should call them diver men?
They do!
Hello, I don't think I've seen you around before.
Hello, I'm Nam Jun-yong's mother. We recently switched schools.
Oh, I see.
I'm Jung Dong-seok's mother.
Does he have any siblings?
He has one younger brother who's seven years old.
Really?
My youngest is also seven.
I guess they'll be starting school together next year.
You should come to our place.
It'll be easier to get used to the neighborhood if they make friends.
Really?
My kids are so worked up because they don't have any friends.
So I want to help them make some new friends.
But everyone's already so close with each other.
The other people don't seem to be too interested in new students at all.
You're a very kind person.
When I first got here,
I had one friend who helped me get adjusted wholeheartedly.
It was thanks to her that I managed to adjust or else…
I see.
Where is that friend now?
She lives somewhere else now.
I see.
Hello.
Welcome, Dong-seok's mom.
Why are you only buying sliced bread today?
I got some delicious jam, so I'm going to enjoy it with my bread.
If you pop it into the microwave for a bit,
-it'll taste even better. -Okay.
You know that we make our bread with the same ingredients
that Seoul Hotel gets supplied with, right?
Of course.
It's all organic and it's only 5,300 won.
I hear you.
