She won't Iisten to me.

Where are you going?

The writer wrote 'Tragedy's End'

by Iistening to his dead wife.

So you're going there?

What are you going to do?

Something's in that house.

It made me write the same story.

I didn't plagiarize it.

Don't you realize that

Yeun-hee is asking for help?

Stop it!

I'm sick and

tired of you doing this.

How Iong do people have to

suffer because of you?

After Yeun-hee's death,

I never said anything to you.

- Why can't you admit it?

- Yeah!

I can't admit it.

I don't want to!

Our daughter, Yeun-hee,

was there.

I never read that book.

It's okay if you don't believe me.

I'm going to find some proof.

Proof?

What proof?

Fine, Iet's say that you found it.

What will you do next?

I don't know.

What don't you know?

Only one thing is important to you.

You're doing this so that

you won't hear that you've plagiarized!

If you do this,

I will never see you again.

When I first met you,

you told me this,

"If there was one Iast person

who'd trust me, it would be you."

Remember?

You don't have to worry about me.

I don't think you would anyway.

Since our Iives are apart now.

Villa at the Iake

Choi Soo-jin, disappeared

Four suspects

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! Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Yeun-hee!

Open the door, Yeun-hee.

I have something to say to you.

PIease 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 Iast 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 Ieast.

Baek Hee-soo is a patient.

You shouldn't Ieave her Iike 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 a minute!

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 knowwhat it is,

don't you?

Soo-jin...

Did you Iook 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 b*tch is here to ruin us.

Where is that b*tch?

You b*tch!

You're dead meat!

I killed her, you b*tch!

Do we Iook Iike murderers to you?

- That crazy b*tch!

- 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 b*tch!

She's no damn writer.

She ruined the good people of this town!

Four suspects

She ruined the good people of this town!

That b*tch!

Four shadows wearing masks

That b*tch!

Four shadows wearing masks

That woman is supposedly sick.

She's not normal.

Move, boy!

PIease 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 Ionger.

You all killed her.

Leave this town now

- 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!

You all killed Soo-jin!

Why are you Iooking for her

when she Ieft for Seoul?

You know Choi Soo-jin, right?

The town is in

an uproar because of you.

You made us into some criminals.

PIease 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 Iove

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 Iike a mountain.

And she gave him a big smile.

I hated her a Iot.

But what can I do now?

We're all Iiving

our separate Iives now.

Mrs. Baek.

People Iiving here are

good and honest people.

You wrote that story

from your imagination.

PIease 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 Iove 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 Iooks the same.

I told you to hide somewhere.

You'II 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 Iike 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 Iake.

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 Iocked?

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 Iike the right spot.

Wait!

Did you hear something?

Stop talking nonsense.
