I…
knew the reason
for your tears and your embrace.
"I felt so bad for you
that I couldn't just leave you behind."
That night, you embraced
the 11-year-old me who had lost his brother,
the 26-year-old me who had lost his patient,
and the foolish me who dared
to lose you because I was scared to hurt you.
EPISODE 8
Your fever's gone.
What's wrong with you?
Just stay still.
Embracing and warming someone's body
with your temperature
is a more sincere act of affection than mere words.
Honey!
It means, "I've missed you so much."
"What took you so long?"
"I was so worried about you."
"I was lonely without you."
"I almost went crazy pining for you."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
"Thank you."
-Here's your pizza. -Thank you. It's still hot.
What? You came to pick it up?
-I could've delivered it. -I'm only a stone's throw away.
What a pretty helmet. Was it a gift?
I'm not sure who gave this to me.
I'm a bit frustrated because I don't know.
-What are you on about? -Bye.
Is he my daughter's boyfriend
or her guy friend
or just a guy passing by her?
Do you like the new pizza?
-Yes, it's good. -Yes, it's tasty.
Eat up.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Have you eaten? -Yes, every now and then.
When did you last see Da-jeong?
It's been a while.
Why are you panting?
What are you doing in broad daylight?
I'm working out.
Did you see Young-do?
Who's that?
Didn't you see Da-jeong's neighbor?
I don't even know my own neighbor.
What's this about?
I'm just in a dilemma. That's all.
Can I keep liking him
or should I bury him? Will he marry my daughter
or should I kill him?
Mom.
Has Da-jeong told you about John Wick?
He sounds American.
It's an American movie.
He kills about 80 people to avenge his dog's death.
Sounds plausible.
She said that movie reminded her of you.
Is that so? She thought of me?
Gosh.
That wasn't a compliment.
You should visit her.
Or invite her to your bar.
We're not that close.
Then should I go instead?
How about I wear a pair of fishnets
and a sparkling, silver skirt?
Mother, I'll take care of it right away.
Was his name Young-do?
Cheol-do, hello.
Hey, it's been a while.
-Have you been coming here? -Yes, usually at dawn.
Have you seen my sister lately?
-Yes. -Is she doing okay?
I think so.
I spoke with Eun-ha yesterday.
Really? Is she doing all right?
Yes.
Don't you run a cafe together?
We do.
But we don't talk.
I see.
I'm sure it was Ms. Kang.
I was going to the parking lot
when she was headed to the playground. I was going to call her.
Young-do, are you asleep?
Ms. Kang stopped by.
There was a bowl of porridge, but he only ate one spoonful.
Okay.
And we're talking about Mr. Flirt.
-Right. -So?
He purposely smeared some porridge on his lips.
What's wrong?
Were you always this pretty?
How long must I
This damn love
That porridge on his lips must've made them kiss.
Gosh. You have such a poor imagination.
No wonder your shows have low ratings.
What about my ratings?
They're low and cute ratings.
Gosh.
You know what I think?
I bet they bawled their eyes out.
Don't be sick.
I'm sorry for being sick.
Don't apologize, you fool.
Don't cry, you fool.
Doesn't it hurt?
Cut that nonsense
It's much better than yours.
I know exactly what happened.
I saw a preview in the storage room last time.
I like that. Let's go with it.
But…
Da-jeong went all the way there to give him some porridge.
He didn't eat it and she left.
Maybe things didn't work out.
Or maybe he suggested that they be friends.
I'd rather it be the porridge kiss.
You think he pushed her away?
I think so.
Gosh. His feelings for a woman were never this strong.
Do something about it.
Like what?
Protest in front of her and demand that she doesn't let him go.
Or throw them in a dark room and lock the door.
Right. You have many leashes.
-Tie them up together. -Do it yourself.
-I don't want to become a criminal. -Me neither.
But it doesn't sound too bad.
Harnesses for large dogs
are about this big.
Right.
I can't even take a bite of the cookie he gave me.
And
he can't even throw away the forsythia twig I gave him.
How about we be friends?
Do you think…
we can become friends?
AHN GA-YEONG
Yes?
It must feel lonely and quiet there without me.
Hello?
Even when a mosquito that bugs us all day is nowhere to be seen,
we can't help but become concerned
and wonder if it has fed itself.
You're right.
I was too inconsiderate and left you behind.
I'm listening.
I was going to pop by today,
but work ended late.
I'm just kidding.
I'm on a date with my boyfriend.
But I'm not the type to neglect my friends for a guy.
I'll stop by tomorrow.
Why would you…
Did you leave anything?
What do you mean?
Can't I visit my friend whenever I want?
"Friend"?
Don't you know what a friend is?
It's someone who treats you so well though they're not your lover or family.
It's grateful to have even one, but the more the merrier.
But then again, some cowards substitute
"I don't see you as a man."
"You're not charming as a woman,"
with "Let's be friends."
Some offend others like that.
In any case,
we're friends.
Why does everyone want to be friends with me?
Am I a friend bot or something?
Don't you want to be my friend?
Why not?
Because I emptied your fridge?
Because I stuffed all the dumplings myself?
Were you serious when you said your ears would bleed?
Because I yapped so much?
No. My mind was elsewhere.
You must be busy.
Fine.
I didn't mean to get upset with you. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Don't mind me and focus on your work.
I'll call you again later.
I take back what I said about making a new friend.
She doesn't want to be friends with me.
That's not it.
I think someone she likes wanted to be just friends with her.
She got all worked up when you said that part.
What is this?
Did that fool Young-do
say "Let's be friends," to a girl he fell head over heels for?
-I'm busy. -Did you ask Da-jeong to be friends?
How did you…
I was right. You did.
What will you do? I may lose my best friend thanks to you.
Are you talking about Patrick?
Patrick isn't my friend. He's my boyfriend.
How could you not tell the difference?
Did you get your license from a thrift shop or something?
Say something.
Hello, this is Patrick.
Oh, hello.
Why did you do that?
You've told me such great advice.
Well…
Call him an idiot.
-I can't say that. -It's okay.
You can say, "You fool."
By the way, your mouth looked cute when you said, "You fool."
What? Stop flattering me.
What? I'm just stating a fact.
That's not important right--
Oh, dear.
"I'm actually very timid.
I'm afraid I might see a ghost while taking a shower,
so whenever I wash my hair,
I listen
to very loud and ridiculous music such as Jump, Jump."
Such songs could cast away ghosts for sure.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
-Oh, dear. -"But lately,
I've been able to wash my hair without any music.
I think it started when I befriended my downstairs neighbor.
I know that he'll be the one
who comes to my rescue when I need it."
When you hear my footsteps,
you know that I'm home.
And if I step on a bar of soap and fall with a big thud,
you would be the first to rush to the rooftop to check if I was okay.
"When I had gone through something unbelievable
or strived to hold back my tears,
he was always there for me."
"He was always there for me.
But never once did he rush me saying,
'Don't cry, or you can do it, or get up.'
I think that's when I started interpreting his words differently.
I also did that
when he called me a rabbit with bloodshot eyes."
You look like a chatty rabbit with your bloodshot eyes.
Silence can be uncomfortable sometimes,
but you don't always have to take responsibility for it.
But you merely fell.
You were rushing to not keep your friend waiting.
It always sounded
like he was telling me that everything was okay.
"It's okay.
I'll be right by your side.
Everything will be all right."
Then I started misinterpreting his words even more.
Every time he spoke, it sounded like this.
What crazy things
-do you want to do? -"I like you."
"I like you."
Is it crazy to like someone
if you can't promise to be with them forever?
I can't even take a bite of the cookie he gave me.
And
he can't even throw away the forsythia twig I gave him.
Do you think…
we can become
friends?
All right.
It was from username Rooftop Rabbit.
Mr. Ju, what's your take on this?
Sorry?
I'm not sure.
Ms. Han, what do you think? I saw you jotting something down.
Let's see.
"The guy is an ass…"
You can't curse on air.
I apologize.
Our listeners have been leaving their comments.
Could you read those two comments?
Sure.
Username 3935 says,
"What a lunatic. He shouldn't have told her about his feelings then."
Username Variety Hamster…
Username Variety Hamster says,
"The woman who sent the story
seems thoughtful and nice.
If I were him, I'd definitely date her even if she misinterpreted
all of my words."
Username Fairy Whatsoever says,
"Maybe he urgently pushed her away
after seeing her naked face.
I'm speaking from experience. Sob."
That's not true.
It's probably not true.
And username Marble and Round and Round are arguing right now.
Let me read what they've written.
"When he offered to be friends, he pretty much told her to get lost."
"No. He just wants to be by her side at all costs."
"No. It means he'll chop her hand off if she crosses the line."
"No. He wants her to be within his arm's reach."
What do you think, Mr. Ju?
Well.
I think he asked her to be friends
because he was afraid of hurting her.
I think he wanted her
to go somewhere safe.
But now that I think of it,
that could've been right as well.
Which one?
That he'd chop her hand off if she were to cross the line?
No, not that one.
That he just wants…
to be by her side.
I think
he might've failed to realize his true feelings.
What are you doing there?
I'm on patrol.
I heard there's someone suspicious.
Are you going to stay there?
I'll come down.
Don't tell me you're scared.
I'm not.
It's just too dirty.
Do you want my help?
No.
Yes.
When I wrote that,
I didn't think that people would talk so harshly.
By "harshly," do you mean
how they called me a fool, an idiot, a coward,
a jerk, and a lunatic?
You didn't know they'd call me names, right?
Right.
There were about 300 comments.
It felt like I got punched about 300 times.
There was this comment that we didn't read out loud.
"If you are the guy
in the story, then raise your hand.
Then make a fist
and punch your cheek."
Why would you do that? Don't hit yourself.
Since there are many things I left out in that story,
they don't know the full story.
That's why they mocked you.
But I know everything.
I know how hard it was for you
to say that to me.
"I don't want to be friends."
I won't say that.
"I've also…
come to like you."
I won't say that either.
At least not right now.
We don't need to promise to be together forever.
I don't know and will never know what "forever" really means anyway.
In a two-hour movie, "forever" means two hours.
I think that's enough.
I only cleaned up the mess made by the police.
Everything else has remained untouched.
Shouldn't you change the door passcode?
He could come here.
I shouldn't change it
since I want him to come here.
I'm sorry.
I'll get that dry-cleaned.
-I can do it right now. -It's okay.
It was my fault. I was on my phone.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
I'm all right.
I'll have vanilla.
Two vanilla and one chocolate, please.
Sure.
Let's wait over there.
Gosh. What a lovely family.
You have a beautiful family. Your son is adorable.
Kids these days speak English so well.
Goodness, I wish I had a grandson like him.
Did you leave our hotel because of me?
-Because of me, did you-- -No.
You don't need to worry.
It bothers me that you're telling me not to worry.
You have a good memory.
I'll be staying in Korea for a while, so I found my own place.
I see.
Then why are you here today?
My colleagues are still here.
Den, we need to go back now.
"Den"?
Yes.
"Trick" for Patrick. "Nibal" for Hannibal.
"My" for Amy.
Are you serious?
Of course.
"Mian" for Damian.
"Tley" for Bentley.
"Ian" for Ian.
Well, "Ian" can't be shortened.
"Ian"?
This is him? The one who doesn't even have a name?
Everyone gets their own name.
Choi Jeong-min is your brother. And you don't have a name.
Den.
We need to go back,
and Ian needs to go to work.
PATIENT: MA JAE-GUK
The medically-induced coma is effective.
It has lowered his brain pressure, so he can have surgery now.
Is that so?
Okay.
The vice-chairman would like to see you.
Death is closer than you think, isn't it?
Out of the blue,
your twin brother commits suicide.
And people from your childhood
are mysteriously dying left and right.
And patients often die on the operating table.
"We did our best, but we couldn't save him."
That's what the doctors will say.
But for someone like me who's last in line to be the heir,
his death wouldn't come as a shock.
There will be no investigation or autopsy.
Are you telling me to hinder the surgery?
Didn't you find it odd when you were chosen
for this team?
Dr. Bale is a racist, so it couldn't have been him that chose an Asian like you.
So
who assigned you to this team, and why?
Did you ever wonder?
Please just cut to the chase.
Tell me what you want.
I don't do business with someone who has nothing
to lose nor desire.
I don't have any.
I'm sure you do.
Any mistakes you've made in life
out of desperation or mere fun…
always leave a stain.
Long time no see, Dr. Chase.
So this is where you work,
Dr. Ju Young-do.
What is your question?
When I was young,
I temporarily stayed at a nursing facility in Changbi-dong.
And recently, I saw a photo of me taken there.
And…
that photo
was a piece of evidence related to Choi Jeong-min's case.
Do you know anything about the photo or facility?
Don't beat around the bush.
I don't believe I did.
Why did you assume I'd know anything
about his case?
Do you not remember anything?
Have you not heard that the case was closed?
I did.
Then you should stop here.
I don't appreciate your rudeness
or recklessness
regarding your words.
What do I specialize in?
Why do you think I brought this up during my lecture?
It's obviously trigeminal neuralgia.
So why didn't any medication work?
Why did this patient refuse craniotomy?
Is it Munchausen's syndrome?
Correct.
They pretend to be sick
in order to receive attention.
Some harm themselves and even their own children or pets.
During her childhood,
her parents were too busy to give her any attention.
Her sibling was ill as well.
The only time her parents gave her attention
was when she was sick.
Thanks to her past experience as a nurse,
she knew which medication to take and what kinds of symptoms to have
to make others believe she was sick.
If they go that far to fool us, how can we tell if they're lying?
The only way to know if patients are lying is to observe them.
Especially, when you deal with patients who must fool doctors and nurses,
you should focus on their displeasure.
Let's say you asked a patient if they had taken a certain drug.
If they didn't take it, they'd say, "No, I didn't."
Plain and simple.
But if they're worried about getting caught, it's different.
"Why are you suspecting me?
I'm offended by your question."
If they're clever, they lower their head,
drop a pen,
or try other means to distract you.
If it's true that I was duped,
that means
I was fooled by an 18-year-old.
That's unacceptable.
Why are you so impudent?
I'm talking to you.
BOOM, CLAP DON'T ERASE THIS
IT'S A WORKING TITLE, SO DON'T TEASE US
Patrick! Patrick will be joining our show!
Patrick!
But three of his agency's newbies will be here too.
Three of them?
They'll join us, but I never promised them screen time.
You're so evil.
All right. We have four pilot shows. We need to make this work.
All right.
Like this.
And like this.
Thanks to Patrick, people will be intrigued.
SEO HA-NEUL HAN JIN-HO
This pair is good.
Go.
Go on.
But…
Aren't you here to work out?
Yes, I am. But I'm a bit hesitant.
Why? Because I'm a woman?
No. That's not why.
I'm just a bit…
A vet who's a crybaby
and a former national boxer.
A soft fist meets an iron fist.
Is that it?
Who said he has a soft fist?
He has platinum fists.
I thought he hit me with a hammer that time.
He hit you?
Well…
I just said that we were friends.
I never said he didn't hit me.
-I feel sorry for you. -No, he didn't hit me.
-Are you okay? -Yes.
You're not bad.
If it's too tiring, put your knees down.
And start…
You're good.
You just need to warm your body up a bit, so…
I'm running better since I haven't done this in a while.
What does Seung-won have on you?
On me?
Nothing.
Whatever.
Why did you pretend to be weak?
I
never did.
Gosh, my head.
What is this?
What?
Why is he there?
Hey.
What?
Did a dog bite him?
Damn it.
VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 3
It's okay. Be seated.
Where is Mr. Ko?
-In the rest-- -He's eating--
After having his meal, I believe he went to the restroom.
He refused to listen to me again.
He's digging into some old case.
How are you doing?
Both physically and mentally.
I'm doing fine. I'm still young and healthy.
Good for you. Lucky you.
How great.
Hello, sir.
-What's this about? -Where have you been?
I had coffee…
No, I didn't.
I brushed… No.
I ate.
I had a late lunch.
Good going.
Who told you to sit down?
We received a call. Go to Pungji Park right now.
A homeless man was hurt.
Oh, dear. That shouldn't happen.
-Let's hurry. We'll get going, sir. -Okay.
Look at him.
UNDER INVESTIGATION
A few homeless people are always camping in this underpass,
so people rarely use it.
That's why we were notified late.
How bad is his condition?
He bled excessively, so it looks bad.
Detective Park, go to the hospital right now.
And you, meet with the caller.
Yes, sir.
Any security cameras around here?
I doubt we'll get any dashcam footage.
-I'll look into it. -Go on, now.
Yes, sir.
I'll take this.
-Okay. Leave the door open. -Got it.
All right.
I'm famished.
What brings you here?
Have you been well?
I wasn't actually curious, but I just asked.
Goodbye, then.
What are you doing?
I believe you're unwelcome here during office hours.
I'm not here for him. I'm going to the fourth floor.
-I said the fourth floor. -All the more reason to block you
because I can't let you disturb them.
Disturb what? Them dating?
I knew it. You knew.
I learn boxing nowadays.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
Come in.
What is it?
Are you planning to go upstairs today?
Upstairs? What's this about?
A, yes. B, no.
Not for now.
Then,
Be gentle.
Our brain cells won't regenerate anymore. We're at that age.
Did you have to say something so sad during dinnertime?
By the way, who wrote that? It's not your handwriting.
Oh, that?
I'm here.
Yes. It was her.
I bought all the drinks I finished last time.
By the way, who are you?
Hello.
She's my friend. The owner of the cafe downstairs.
"Friend"?
You didn't want to be friends with me,
but you're friends with her?
I never said I didn't want to.
You guys are friends?
Do you know her well?
Sorry?
-Of course. -I even crashed here.
I do that often.
She gave me clothes to wear and food to eat.
She's been doing that for me for the past 20 years.
Her favorite food. One, two, three.
-Dumplings. -Pizza.
Rice soup.
Why rice soup when your mom sells pizza?
Exactly. You remind me of someone.
Her favorite flowers.
-One, two, three. Orange blossom. -Red foxtail.
Magnolia.
Oranges don't have flowers.
Of course, they do.
And why would you name an animal as a flower?
What in the world is a red foxtail?
-Give us your answer. -Yes, please do.
I said magnolia.
But you don't like magnolia.
When they wither,
you said they look like rotten banana peels.
Exactly. Why magnolia?
They have huge heads. They have awful body ratios.
I think I'd appreciate it if you guys respected my preferences.
Her favorite song. One, two, three.
-Jump, Jump. -Patrick's
To You.
What? Don't tell me you really like that song.
Not really. I used to listen to it while washing my hair.
-But these days-- -To You is
my ringback tone.
Seriously? You like Patrick?
How could I not?
He's handsome, a great singer, and a wonderful dancer.
You have good taste.
Do you like him too?
I don't just like him.
Is it my turn now?
I'm glad we met.
Whom am I speaking to?
One, two, three. The answer is myself.
Can I treat you like an older sister?
You can,
but she and I are the same age.
So I'm the oldest once again.
Forget it. Let's just consider ourselves friends.
Do you like beer, my friend?
I do.
What's your name?
Park Eun-ha.
Nice to meet you, "Galaxy" Park.
Cheers.
GUGU BUILDING
I'll go see you this week.
When are you free?
Nothing's wrong. I just…
Can't a brother visit his older sister?
It's just strange that you suddenly want to come over.
It's really nothing.
All right, then. Bye.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
Ms. Kang, are you okay?
Ms. Kang.
Did you hear it?
Yes. It was quite loud.
Is everything okay?
I'm afraid there's a tiny problem.
Oh, dear.
Spectacles like these are the perks of cleaning.
Just when you think you're done cleaning, you break things.
This is one dangerous spectacle.
No, you'll hurt yourself.
I can take my time and clean up.
Or we can clean up together quickly.
Do you have any newspapers?
Gosh, you really don't have to.
What is this?
I didn't do that.
It wasn't me. It was Ms. Ahn. Really.
She also left an "I'll be back" memo somewhere.
Did I throw it away? Where is it?
KANG DA-JEONG, JU YOUNG-DO
It wasn't me.
I didn't…
I didn't know she wrote our names.
And this blanket… No, this towel.
I didn't see what was under this towel.
I mean… She must be insane. Why would she write our names?
I'll get going.
Do you not believe me?
Wait.
No. Look.
The door was open earlier. Make sure to lock it.
Hold on. You can't leave when there's obviously a misunderstanding.
Why don't you call and ask her?
To be exact, I had put those cookies in the freezer.
They were ice cold.
Okay.
Why are you leaving like that? Stay here and listen to…
JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC
You seemed to be in a hurry. Why are you still here?
I had to take care of something upstairs.
All right, then. Good night.
KANG DA-JEONG
I felt bad about ruining what she had made.
You get it, right?
It's like how you choose to take the bus
when you see snowmen that some kids made on your car.
I'm not sure if it's only the buttons or if I ripped your shirt as well, but…
Just so you know, the hotel I work at disciplines us
regarding sexual assault and harassment.
In any case, I promise to buy you a new shirt.
If you think I put it there for you to see, that's really not…
If you no longer misunderstand me, please wave a carrot so I'd know.
If you don't have any at home, a cucumber or an eggplant will do.
I wish I was unconscious right now.
NEW MESSAGE
Can I really take these home?
Sure.
I really think it's great that our hotel has a proposal package.
I agree. It'll be memorable.
More importantly, they'll never fail.
A guy who's madly in love may not know
what to do and just go to her house. Then he'll get the res…
What was it? Restraining…
Res…
"Restraining order." Repeat after me slowly.
Yes, that. Some guys end up getting that.
But nowadays, I'd be so grateful if someone did that to me.
"Come down. I'm in front of your house.
This is for you."
I'm not into one-sided confessions.
Not all people are good at it.
Poor balloons.
Was it Dallas or Wisconsin?
There's a kiss academy there.
They teach people who were dumped
for being bad kissers, how to kiss.
They even get to practice.
No way.
Have you been there?
Of course not.
Why won't you believe me?
I really haven't been there.
Ms. Kang.
Hello?
No, it's okay.
Today?
But what's this about?
Guess who?
Did you wait long?
I'm sorry.
Babe, what are you doing there?
I don't know. I thought he was you.
I touched a stranger because of you.
-Let me go wash my hands. -Okay. Hurry.
How dare he come here again?
How would I know? Don't make it obvious.
Don't you feel uncomfortable?
I hate that he's here.
We can't ask him to leave.
How in the world can Da-jeong stand seeing his face?
He's going to hear you.
I don't care.
Enjoy.
-Can you get me one more of this? -Sure.
Will you accept this rose?
It's a paper rose. It won't wither,
it's not prickly, and it's recyclable.
You could also jot things down on it.
YONGSAN STATION, 99, 7641
Do you like music boxes? Should we go get one?
Did he ever tell you about his childhood?
On March 13, 2003 at 9 p.m.,
I killed Kim Myeong-ja.
Now,
I'm putting an end to everything.
