Villa at the lake
Choi Soo-jin, disappeared
Four suspects
During villa repairs
Montessori Nursery Teacher
Montessori Nursery
That woman lives in the nursery behind the station.
She's a bit crazy, so it's hard to talk to her.
Yeun-hee?
Yeun-hee! Yeun-hee!
Yeun-hee!
Open the door, Yeun-hee.
I have something to say to you.
Please open the door.
Yeun-hee.
Mommy is...
Sorry...
Mommy is sorry...
Principal's Room
Tragedy's End
So what are you getting at?
The same place, the same characters, the same events.
The last part isn't just plagiarism. It's an identical copy.
Hee-soo can write something new without experts even knowing.
She wouldn't copy it so blatantly.
What are you getting at?
So you trust what Hee-soo had said?
Even if she said that she really plagiarized,
I should trust her at least.
Baek Hee-soo is a patient. You shouldn't leave her like that.
She's already probably finding proof that she didn't plagiarize.
But it doesn't exist in reality.
When the truth can't be found,
people will find some way to make it real.
So they make themselves into victims.
Wait...
Wait a minute!
Wait...
It will only take a minute! I have a question!
It's about Choi Soo-jin! About your daughter!
Something is in that house, isn't it?
You know what it is, don't you?
Soo-jin...
Did you look into my favor?
I'm putting my neck out for this.
If I get caught, I'm on patrol.
Wait, I found something.
Disappearance report of Choi Soo-jin, 1988.
But it's been cancelled.
Cancelled?
There could be two reasons for this.
Either it's a fake report or she was found.
Could she have died?
Then there should be a death report.
But seeing that there isn't any, she's not dead.
Do you know her? Want me to check some more?
Request for Attendance
Yeun-hee, I have to work now.
If you keep saying strange things, I can't work.
You want me to punish you?
Stop eating and go upstairs.
Why are you here?
That crazy bitch is here to ruin us.
Where is that bitch?
You bitch!
You're dead meat!
I killed her, you bitch!
Do we look like murderers to you?
- That crazy bitch! - What's the matter?
- This won't solve anything! - You stay out of it.
The fishery business is up in smoke.
Mrs. Song died because of that bitch!
She's no damn writer.
She ruined the good people of this town!
Four suspects She ruined the good people of this town!
That bitch!
Four shadows wearing masks That bitch!
Four shadows wearing masks
That woman is supposedly sick.
She's not normal.
Move, boy!
Please stop.
What's the matter with you all?
You all...
What are you all hiding?
Look at what she's saying!
Cut it out!
We're not responsible for what happens to you if you stay longer.
You all killed her.
Leave this town now before any trouble happens!
- You all killed Soo-jin! - Chan-shik, go see her off.
You all killed her! You all killed her!
- You all killed her! - Mrs. Baek, stop it!
You all killed Soo-jin!
Why are you looking for her when she left for Seoul?
You know Choi Soo-jin, right?
The town is in an uproar because of you.
You made us into some criminals.
Please don't come back. If the sheriff finds out...
Tell me!
Did she really go to Seoul?
She planned to go to Seoul with me after we had graduated.
But some guy from Seoul came.
She fell in love with him and ran away.
Mr. Yang went to Seoul to see his son.
And he saw her on the street.
He said that her belly stuck out like a mountain.
And she gave him a big smile.
I hated her a lot.
But what can I do now?
We're all living our separate lives now.
Mrs. Baek.
People living here are good and honest people.
You wrote that story from your imagination.
Please don't trouble us anymore.
What the hell am I doing?
Hee-soo, where are you now?
- Someone died because of me. - What?
- Because of me. Because of me. - Hee-soo! Hee-soo!
Everyone got hurt.
What's going on? Where are you?
Did Soo-jin really die?
Did I truly love Yeun-hee?
Honestly, I could've read that book.
Pull yourself together and don't hang up.
Now I can't trust myself, either.
I'll go to you now. Where are you?
I can't trust myself anymore.
Wearing braces
Hey!
Long time no see!
Doctor Park!
Your figure still looks the same.
I told you to hide somewhere.
You'll do it tonight, right?
I have a seminar tomorrow.
I can't stay more than a day. I have final exams.
Stop pretending. You're the only one who's busy?
I'm just saying so.
Damn it, this couldn't come at a better time.
But having an event like this
enables us to see friends and come back home.
How are your kids?
The eldest started middle school.
I envy people whose kids are all grown up.
Hey!
Are you here to sightsee?
This place is still spooky.
Do you have guys have a plan after taking it out?
You talk too much.
Oh, crap!
Stop it, damn it.
I told you to throw it in the lake. We put it in a ridiculous spot.
Because of who?
This all happened because he mentioned the reservoir construction.
Right, physics teacher?
But that writer knows something, doesn't she?
How'd she know about that room?
I don't know, idiot.
Do we have to do this?
We used to have so much fun here.
Is it locked?
Get out of the way.
Stop standing around and go find something to break it down!
Aren't you going?
Want me to go?
Hurry.
Hey, find something to break down the door.
I don't know. I'm hungry.
How'd that bastard become a teacher?
Get out of the way.
Bam!
Damn, it hurts.
One, two...
Is it here?
Wait! It seems like the right spot.
Wait!
Did you hear something?
Stop talking nonsense. Keep moving it.
No, I heard something.
Have you lost your mind?
Hurry and come back here.
I'm sorry about going on this business trip when you're pregnant.
A lullaby?
Will he know Daddy's voice?
What the hell am I doing in my hometown?
Oh jeez.
The hometown I used to live in
Jang Sung-tae, hurry up!
Okay, I'm coming.
What are you?
What is this?
Who are you?
Shit!
Catch her!
Hurry and catch her!
What are you waiting for?
Hey you!
Who are you?
It's opening!
Wait a minute!
Is she here because of that book?
Shit, this is a big headache.
Let's do it next time.
This is driving me crazy!
There is no "next time"!
She went out!
Stop right there!
What happened?
Stay calm! Stay calm!
One, two...
Go and catch her!
There she is!
Where?
This way!
You dumb asshole!
Fuck!
Are you okay? Are you okay?
Let go of me!
Here! Here!
Help me!
Mrs. Baek! Blood!
What happened?
- Help me. - What's wrong?
Dangerous people are chasing me!
They're coming! We have to go!
We have to run away!
They aren't dangerous people!
I told you to leave here quickly.
Chan-shik, have you eaten?
The sheriff was looking for you.
Are you really going to Seoul?
What does that have to do with you?
When I become a famous writer, I'll come back home...
You don't know why I'm doing this?
I told you I'll graduate soon, so wait a little more.
I don't see you as a man.
Go to your mommy.
Don't test my patience.
Think I'll let you go like this?
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
You know what?
No matter how hard I think,
I really can't get how you knew everything.
Only we knew.
How did you know?
How?
You understand why I'm doing this, right?
What the hell did you do to Soo-jin?
You don't know?
After you wrote it all in the book?
But there's something different from the book.
What's so pretty about her for him to do that for two years?
I can't figure it out with my head.
Do we have to go this far?
Leave him alone.
He wants to stay in the same room.
That's what love is about.
Love? Whatever.
What are you doing?
Come here.
I'm hungry.
That's much better.
It's the signal.
Let's go.
What a pretty picture!
Who are you?
Who are you!?
Get up!
What are you doing?
Are you crazy? Be careful.
I got it. It was a mistake.
- A mistake? - What's the matter with you?
It was a mistake!
Can you go to Seoul with broken legs?
I'm going to kill you!
Hit me again!
Go ahead!
Hit me again!
Stop it!
I'll kill you first!
Stop it!
Chan-shik...
Captain.
What happened?
It wasn't me.
I didn't do it.
What will we do now?
Even if we move the corpse,
that lady heard everything.
I'm going to kill that fucking bitch!
You're going to kill again?
Damn it.
Shut up.
Let's solve things one by one.
You're all being too much.
Know what happened to our town because of that writer?
She said she was coming down here, and I can't reach her now.
How many times do I have to tell you? She went back to Seoul.
Then show me how to get to the villa.
Oh, brother.
Hello.
The man from Seoul is back again. He's looking for that writer.
They're looking down on us country folks.
City people are all the same.
Are you the sheriff?
I heard about that writer.
I should've stopped her when she wrote about this town.
I was anticipating a useless thing.
Go to her house in Seoul.
She's probably bathing in hot water.
But isn't it strange?
I thought I forgot everything.
But I remember everything by coming here.
Shut your mouth!
I remember it all even after 20 years.
I remember Soo-jin's face.
Also, her breathing sounds.
Soo-jin was so pretty.
Will she look the same?
Stop it!
You all also remember, right?
I said shut up!
You want me to bury you, too? Asshole!
Stop it!
Stop it?
Stop what?
My leg is broken because of that bitch!
I have a match next month.
It's a national competition!
I want to finish this as fast as I can and go back home.
Got it?
Fuck you, asshole.
Crippled idiot.
What happened?
You may think I'm the old Chang Sung-ten.
But I'm not, you asshole.
I placed fourth in the 1992 Asian Games welterweight match.
Shit!
It's not here! But this is the right spot!
Why isn't it here? Why isn't it here?
Tell me.
How did you know?
Did you copy it from a book like people say you did?
Or did you really see Soo-jin?
But that's impossible.
Say something!
- You want me to lose my mind? - Chan-shik!
Chan-shik, she's here!
She's here!
You bastard, what are you talking about?
Soo-jin is here!
She came right to me! What the hell's going on?
It's all because of her.
My leg broke because of her! I'm going to kill her!
You son of a bitch!
How dare you insult Mrs. Baek!
Take it back, you bastard!
It's not the time to do this!
Stop it!
Let go!
What did you see?
What did you see, huh?
You son of a bitch!
The body is gone!
- What? - I told you!
Soo-jin is still alive!
What did you just say?
- Soo-jin is what? - You stupid bastard.
She is here!
Help me!
You go outside.
Me?
No one knows we're here, idiot!
Go out, hurry!
If you had called, say something!
Are you doing something?
Is it true that the writer went to Seoul?
Yes, we chased her out of town. She got scared and went to Seoul.
What about the villa?
Chan-shik went to make sure.
He should be here soon.
He'll be here soon due to the heavy snow.
Someone's coming. Be quiet.
You idiot!
How could you bring him here?
He came looking for her.
What are we going to do?
What will we do with them?
They saw our faces.
They saw all our faces!
Are you okay?
It's you, huh?
You moved the body, didn't you?
Where did you hide it?
Tell me before you regret it! We're not so happy right now!
Where is it?
Why do I have to answer that?
Fuck!
Where did you hide it?
Use your brain.
Damn it!
Mrs. Baek!
You shouldn't do this. We're not bad people.
Did you really move it?
Does a dead body walk around, you idiot?
Where is my Soo-jin?
Crazy bastard.
Mrs. Baek, please don't do this.
You never had a brain in the past nor now, you son of a bitch!
Like father and son, you all have shit for brains!
You son of a bitch!
I'm leaving, you asshole.
Good riddance!
You fucking asshole!
You're a doctor in Seoul, and he's a teacher thanks to me!
Did I ask to live like this crap?
You want to bring it out in the open?
I have nothing to lose!
What do you want to bring out?
Next week my baby will be born.
You asked for it all.
What did we do wrong?
Stop it! Stop it!
Tell me, damn it!
Whose life are you trying to ruin?
Whose fault is all this?
You think I'm still some twirp?
Blood...
Damn it...
Everybody's gone crazy.
I have to get out of here.
Crazy.
Please take me with you.
Wake up.
Hurry and go.
Hee-soo, hurry and leave.
Go and call the police.
Wait, wait.
Hurry.
Mrs. Baek.
Hurry!
Wait, wait.
Mrs. Baek.
Hurry!
Mrs. Baek!
Mrs. Baek, please wait.
Honey...
Mrs. Baek, I didn't mean to do that.
Mrs. Baek.
Mrs. Baek!
Soo-jin was an accident.
And my friend was an accident, too.
Mrs. Baek, you know I didn't mean to do that.
Mrs. Baek!
I told you Mr. Yang saw Soo-jin in Seoul!
I didn't do that on purpose.
Mrs. Baek!
Mrs. Baek...
Why are you being like this?
I haven't done anything!
Why are you doing this to me?
Mrs. Baek!
Please listen to me.
Since Mr. Yang saw her, I thought that she was alive.
So if you listen to my story...
Mrs. Baek!
Wait a minute.
I didn't do that on purpose.
Mrs. Baek, where is Soo-jin?
Where is Soo-jin?
Why are you bothering me?
What happened?
Chan-shik!
Chan-shik, open your eyes!
Open your eyes, boy!
Chan-shik! Don't leave me!
This can't happen!
No, Chan-shik!
Chan-shik!
Chan-shik, open your eyes!
Chan-shik!
Stop there!
I'm sorry.
I didn't do it on purpose.
They killed Soo-jin.
You should've left when I told you to.
Why'd you rehash what we wanted to forget?
Everyone lived forgetting about it.
Why can't that happen?
You knew?
Stop it.
If you talk too much, things will get harder...
How could you when you knew?
You can't understand.
It was too late anyway.
Dumb idiots should've lived well if they were given a chance.
Yes!
The construction will be done by next week.
Are you joking with me?
If I say so, it will happen.
I told you bastards not to hang around here!
Chan-shik!
Did you clean up the warehouse?
I can make it before the inspection by the county governor.
Okay, okay.
You take care of public relations. And bring a lot of reporters!
Okay, okay.
That bastard.
Sheriff... Help...
Who did that?
I don't know.
One of them four probably did it.
If you want to know, that can't happen.
You're crazy!
You're insane!
So, even if you're curious...
Even if it's hard on you...
You should know how to live patiently.
We've lived like this for 20 years,
but you ruined everything.
Since everything ended up like this,
how could I forgive you?
Hee-soo!
Damn it!
Hee-soo!
Yeun-hee, how shall we play?
Hee-soo! Hee-soo!
Myung-su!
My son!
Why are you here, boy?
Hee-soo!
Hee-soo! Hee-soo!
Young-joon!
Are you alright?
Are you cold?
What about Hee-soo?
That's absurd!
If I write a story about how martyr Yoo Kwan-soo was tortured,
is that plagiarism?
You idiot!
Damn assholes.
No matter how hard I try, I can't get rid of the plagiarism charges.
No one believes me.
Do we have to do this?
I don't know whether it's foolish or silly.
Hello?
It's the truth!
It's the real damn truth!
Are you okay?
To be precise, hearing Soo-jin's story and writing it is plagiarism.
I decided not to deny that.
But still.
I want to write that story again in an entirely different way.
Perhaps, the writer and her daughter will be the main characters.
Also, you'll be in it.
Will you really be okay?
I made my mind up.
It's rare for the writer to come out directly.
The press will have a fit.
Isn't that what you'd hope for?
Are you admitting it now?
Yes, I read that manuscript when I was a judge at the time.
It's true that I read the manuscript by writer Sim Jung-yoon.
Whether it was by intention or not, it was a similar concept.
I don't want a new writer to vanish as a result of this.
I hope the committee judges whether it was plagiarism or not.
