Then you should've told so before.

I did not want to be

involved in a mess

Well, investigations will tell the truth.

If I have to go to the office

I will.

Will you...

be easier to confess for

your crime at the office?

You're not doing your lover...

any good by keeping quiet.

Tell me.

Have you ever hated your wife?

No particular reason.

You're just sick of her.

I thought it would pass.

For 5 years.

But it never did.

I'll get back to you.

- Call.

- I will.

Not me.

The lady you talked to earlier.

She must be waiting...

...for your call.

- Come in

- Hello

- Bean sprouts please.

- For how much?

- 2 dollars please.

- Okay.

Su-hyun.

Most people put them

in boiling water.

But I do it differently.

Over bean sprouts...

I pour boiling water.

This way they stay fresh.

Here you go.

Lets see

It's a killer!

Try it.

- What you heard at the clinic...

- What?

I will get it.

Hello?

Hey, CHO.

What's going on?

I guess my cell phone is

out of battery.

We'll talk tomorrow.

Bye, CHO.

He...

I'm sure he's innocent.

He would come quite often.

Once a week.

Keep going.

I think...

He had a crush on me.

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Sure.

I was just testing my camera.

You have my apology.

It's okay.

Why'd you take pictures

of your feet?

His feet?

His own bare feet.

The whole roll.

I thought they were pretty.

That was the beginning.

Hands at first.

Then the shoulders.

Maybe...

That's how he hits on girls.

You know what?

It's quite boring

sitting alone at the studio.

He started keeping me company...

and I was glad.

Even thankful.

Thank you. Bye

Bye!

- What was it?

- Me.

- Who took these?

- You told him?

No, I couldn't.

I have no idea

why I'm in those pictures.

That was the last roll

from him.

I was gonna develop them

when my husband was gone.

Kyung-hee, I love you

Did he see this too?

He got furious.

What's going on here?

Who the hell is he?

Don't you know?

They're from customers.

It's the same goddamn jerk!

What's wrong with you?!

Why'd he take your picture?

I don't know!

I really don't!

But he didn't believe me.

When I got back from the market...

- How do I look?

- Gorgeous!

Su-hyun.

Look who's here!

Ka-hee, it's been so long.

- Hi.

- Hi.

You were fabulous.

Here. Come on.

Go ahead.

You haven't changed a bit.

Same old you from college.

Look at Su-hyun.

Who would think she's married?

Once she becomes a mom,

it'll be a different story.

Gosh, are you expecting?

Congratulations!

That's really great.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

One, Two, Three

What's up, CHO?

Amen!

Sorry, Father.

I have to take this call.

- See you at church.

- Sure. Bye.

To you who are loved,

and to myself who's become

an intruder.

Where are you?

Five o'clock!

- What do you say?

- What?

If a familiar song is heard

when you don't expect it,

you feel exhilarated

like having an orgasm.

Did I give you that tonight?

I remembered.

What?

Do you remember

when we went to the opening

of this wine cafe?

But it was under construction

with nobody around.

- It was then.

- What?

Hesitating whether to leave,

we did it on the stairway.

One side of the wall was glass.

And you said...

'Having sex looking down

at people outside,'

'It feels like doing the treadmill

at the gym. '

I did?

- It was that night.

- What about it?

I'm positive.

When I got home that night,

my cat cried hard into the night.

Until dawn...

What's your point?

I'm 4 weeks pregnant.

This is like a celebration party

for me.

Why follow me?

Take your precious wife home.

- What's going on?

- What?

That you're here.

Why? I wasn't supposed to be?

Don't forget.

Su-hyun and I are friends.

- Should I come with you?

- Where?

The hospital.

I can't believe

I got knocked up at this age.

Silly me, huh?

Should I keep it?

What do you say?

Some babies are blessed

from the womb.

And others have to fear...

What do you want me to do?

Nothing!

Keep living happily with her

as you have.

I'm not a home wrecker!

If I minded sharing you,

I would've left you...

when you decided to marry her.

Stop it, God damn it!

You think I'm happy?

What is it you want?

The baby?

Keep it then!

What is this?!

Are you trying to screw me?

- How long?

- Sir?

How long since the murder?!

You know it's considered unsolved

past a week's mark.

Solve it within this week!

- Hey, Captain Lee.

- Sir?

- You only have 3 days.

- Okay.

Get moving!

JUNG Myung-sik is in Japan?

Yes, the school confirmed...

the seminar was set long ago.

He's coming back tomorrow?

Right, arriving at 10:40

Tomorrow morning...

Captain.

Yeah?

Reporters are talking.

We can't hold KIM Hyuk-ju forever.

Release him.

I don't wanna see you.

Ka-hee...

Let go! I'm showering.

I got you something.

- Ka-hee...

- Let go!

- Ka-hee, I am...

- Let go! Let go!

I'm sorry.

Hands off, you bastard!

Listen to me!

How could you tell me to abort...

Why'd you come to the concert?

- I'm sorry.

- Let Go!

It's all my fault.

I'M SORRY, okay?!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I love you, Ka-hee.

- I love you.

- I do too

I love you too.

You're all mine!

I own you!

- I love you.

- I love you too.

I love you so much.

So much!

I love you.

I love you.

I love you.

Done. Left foot.

Wish I had a son like you.

To cut your toenails?

Fine, I'll cut your toenails

for the rest of your life.

Sleep over.

You come and go

whenever you feel like.

What's my place,

a rest stop along the highway?

And you don't pay me.

- Money? How much do you want?

- What?

Your money is no good.

What do you want then?

- Leave your heart with me.

- My heart?

Give me your hand.

Here. My heart.

- Ki-hoon.

- What?

You need to gain weight.

Are you sure you're a cop?

You have no muscles.

Don't rub it in!

- Come on in.

- No way!

I'm cold.

Wait up, Ka-hee.

Do you love Su-hyun?

I do.

She loves me too.

Are you sure?

You think you know her well?

She's not like us.

"Us"?

You think we're the same?

She's just different.

Have you interrogated her,

Captain LEE?

Assuming she loves you...

because she fits into your life...

Isn't it too dangerous?

I'm not seeing you

cause I have issues with her.

While I see you,

I do my best to her.

You do?

In what sense?

F***ing me hard,

and keeping a beautiful family

with her?

Then...

Should I tell her?

What?

That you sound like a cat

reaching an orgasm.

That you like me from behind...

Want some water?

No thanks.

Smoking right after sex?

You're so bad.

Su-hyun, sleeping?

My Heart

Hello?

Yes?

Captain!

Yes, we picked him up

at the airport.

Yes.

This picture.

You took it, didn't you?

It was found at the scene.

And you left the country

And you left the country on the same day.

This belongs to my son

who goes to primary school.

He wrote it on the ground

and asked me to shoot it

for his girlfriend in class.

And my trip was scheduled

last semester.

You took pictures of JI Kyung-hee.

- Who?

- The female owner of the studio!
