RED LINES THAT CONNECT SEXUAL PARTNERS

So, if people have sex...

I mean...

If people have sexual relations, they are connected by a line.

And wearing these glasses lets you see the lines?

You said you've been able to see them since birth?

Come on!

Stop joking.

I know you high schoolers are uncontrollable

but I'm a detective.

Don't underestimate me.

I knew you wouldn't believe me.

Hey, wait.

I never said I didn't believe you.

So you're saying

that someone took Seon-a's glasses,

called her up to the school roof, then pushed her.

Possibly.

Who? And why?

I don't know.

Seon-a isn't someone who would commit suicide...

But she threatened people about their S lines.

She had plenty of enemies.

Do you think it's possible,

there is more than one pair of glasses?

Recently, there have been a series of cases similar to what happened

in the apartment above yours.

What am I telling a high schooler this for?

Wait.

So you see a red blur everywhere?

Yes.

More or less.

That explains the sunglasses.

It must not have been easy for you.

Seon-a.

Kang Seon-a.

What are you doing?

Stop sleeping in class.

Let’s focus, everyone.

So we have autosomes and sex chromosomes.

There's one pair of sex chromosomes, and the other 22 are autosomes.

Autosomes determine our…

Come on, run!

Are you okay?

- Why? - Well...

She screamed in class when she woke up earlier.

Listen.

It's because you haven't gotten enough sun.

Let's go somewhere nice this weekend.

- I can't. - Why not?

Don't want to? Or can't?

I have plans.

What plans?

I got a job.

Really? What kind of job?

Stop bothering her.

She maybe just doesn’t want to say.

It's at the Miseong Motel.

- Miseong Motel? - Miseong Motel?

Ms. Kim Mi-seong.

Yes?

That was your second try.

How can you make the same mistakes?

You’re driving me crazy.

Start again.

I'm sorry.

Stupid virgin.

They have the best nuggets there.

You should try their rolls too.

Where did you grow up, Mi-seong?

In Busan.

But you don’t have an accent.

I worked on it.

Why?

Because I’m trying to do comedy.

To become an actress?

Yes.

A casting director approached me once.

Does the music teacher see anyone?

Why? You interested?

He’s cute.

— Want me to ask for you? — Yes.

Think he’s single?

Just finish your lunch.

MISEONG MOTEL

RECEPTION

NO MINORS ALLOWED

Hello. A room, please.

That will be 30,000 won.

Can’t we go to a real hotel instead?

We’re just staying a few hours.

Thank you.

You always say you’ll take me somewhere nice.

I’ll take you to a hotel next time.

Seon-a’s bully, Kim Hye-yeong...

pushed Seon-a off the roof and ran.

Except she’s completely disappeared.

No trace on credit cards or her phone.

Or...

The Korean teacher

pushed Seon-a off the roof

and killed himself out of guilt.

That’s the most probable scenario.

The signal from his phone was traced at the school.

But the Korean teacher was basically missing

until his body was found.

And his family says he had a severe fear of heights,

so he couldn’t have pushed anyone off a roof.

If what they say is true...

then who else could it be?

Ji-uk.

Could Seon-a have...

KANG SEON-A

It wasn’t a suicide.

I'm not being stubborn. There is something that's bothering me.

GLASSES?

Seon-a changed after she started wearing those glasses.

What exactly are those glasses?

Listen to this--

They show who people have slept with.

Are you serious?

Do you believe it?

What are you doing here?

- Want a room for the night? - Yes.

That’ll be 60,000 won.

Ta-da!

How did you...

Friends visit friends at work.

You can’t be here. You’re minors.

Hey.

You are too.

Right. It’s illegal.

I know.

Got any customers?

Can I go and look upstairs?

- Hey! - Wait!

Not so loud!

Guys, stop it.

It’s so cramped here.

There’s so little room.

Stop.

Why did you want to come in, anyway?

It’s fun.

It’s exciting.

A room, please.

I’d like 206.

She came alone?

I’m sure I know her.

It’s true...

I’ve had many men

as lovers in my life.

But...

since I saw you,

sleeping with strangers

could no longer fill my empty heart.

I was afraid

I’d never be able to...

have you.

I want to make love!

You’re crazy.

You don’t even have a boyfriend.

Not currently, but I’ve had several.

You mean the guys you harassed?

Look who’s talking, Mr. Virgin.

- What? - I knew it.

- What? - The woman who came alone.

She works in the school admin office.

You know, the one with the glasses.

You’re sure that’s her?

She looks so different.

But she can’t escape my sharp eyes.

Keep your voice down, okay?

HWAGYEONG-DONG WIFE KILLING CASE

That’s Shin Hyeon-heup.

His mom killed his dad and disappeared when he was a child.

KILLED HER HUSBAND WITH A KITCHEN KNIFE

THE VICTIM WAS DEAD ON ARRIVAL

THE SUSPECT LEARNED OF THE AFFAIR WITH HER SISTER THE CHILD HAD DRAWN IMAGINARY LINES TO SHOW THE ADULTERY

THE CHILD HAD DRAWN IMAGINARY LINES TO DEPICT THE AFFAIR

Am I just being played by a crazy girl?

THE CHILD HAD DRAWN LINES TO DEPICT THE AFFAIR

I have a few questions.

Does Seon-a...

...also have S lines?

Isn’t that Seon-a’s privacy?

So that’s a yes.

Are Seon-a’s S lines connected

to that boy in your class, Ji-won?

No.

I don’t know who she’s connected to.

But...

It’s not anyone from our class.

Damn.

Do you think the guy she’s linked to...

is the one who pushed her from the roof?

Well...

I’d say it’s possible.

Another horrific murder happened

last night in Gangam-dong.

The suspect was caught not far from the scene,

but only after the victim’s death.

The suspect did not hide their smile

and said they had been “purified”,

raising suspicions of psychosis...

Could there be more than one pair?

Maybe the glasses aren’t...

unique.

MUSIC ROOM

Sorry.

The music is so beautiful.

I couldn’t help it.

It must be nice

to know so much about music.

It’s useless to me.

I spend every day with high schoolers.

You’re Mi-seong, right?

- You remembered. - Yes.

Do you have dreams?

Guess?

It feels like you don’t want to stay here.

Actress, maybe?

Did I guess right?

Yes. How did you know?

I just figured you’d be good with things that use your body.

You’re right.

It’s unsettling.

I know I’d be good.

It's something you’re born with.

Maybe.

Heading home?

Yeah.

Where’s Gyeong-jin?

Something came up, so she left.

By the way...

Are you free tonight?

You seem to like empty places.

How did you find this spot?

I was on the swimming team in middle school.

I'm not anymore, but I used to come here to swim.

Can you swim?

No.

Hey, you okay?

Look at us.

(Hot noodles)

It’s ready. Dig in.

Is it okay to eat here?

Yes, as long as we don’t get caught.

If Gyeong-jin were here,

she’d have brought a portable stove.

By the way,

why did you jump earlier?

It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it.

Sorry.

Since..

I was little...

...I could see weird things.

I can see red lines

over people’s heads.

Like this?

Yes.

Do I have one?

You don’t.

It’s the same for me,

and for Gyeong-jin.

Do you believe what I’m saying?

- Yes. - Why?

Why would you lie?

I’m weird, right?

Yeah.

You’re not ordinary.

I knew it.

I think you’re cool.

I’m way too ordinary.

No one would even notice if I disappeared tomorrow.

If you did,

at least Gyeong-jin and I would know.

You’re right.

I keep telling you. It wasn’t me.

Do I look like a scammer, Ms. Kang Su-min?

Hey.

Long time no see, Ji-uk. It is.

Why didn’t you answer my calls? I missed you.

Well...

I can’t risk being seen talking to a criminal.

Since when wasn’t I?

You were only a suspect before.

Still as picky as ever?

Am I done here? Can I go?

Sure.

Answer my calls.

Ji-uk, since when did you...

Mind your own business.

LEE JI-WON

KANG SEON-A

BOYFRIEND?

Ji-uk.

Aren't you seeing anyone?

Since when have I dated anyone?

Okay, not technically, but you were always busy with someone.

I guess.

Taking a break, maybe?

There’s someone who intrigues me.

But not sexually.

No way. What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Can’t I just be curious about someone?

I’d like a room.

Room 206, please.

It’s true.

I had many men as lovers in my life.

It’s true.

I had many men as lovers in my life.

It’s true.

I had many men as lovers in my life.

It’s true.

I had many men

as lovers in my life.

In the beginning...

I was happy to have just enough space to lie down.

I was confident I would soon become a famous actress.

But soon...

my ears started to hurt.

It wasn’t because I could hear people in the other rooms.

The problem was me.

I was afraid that noise

when I spoke or moved

would reach other people’s ears.

It was the same at school.

I was scared someone would hear me giggle every time I saw you.

That’s when I found this place.

An old motel, with no customers during the day.

I was free in this room.

Then one day, I found the glasses.

I was perfect when I saw myself through them.

And suddenly, I became an observer.

This room is perfect.

A perfect world

for the perfect me.

Hey.

Why a motel, like this?

Like old times.

It’s refreshing, I guess.

Didn’t you miss me?

I can see you whenever I want, on the TV.

You’re so funny.

You leaving?

Same time tomorrow?

[JOON-SEON: AT MISEONG MOTEL TONIGHT?] [YES, I’M WORKING NOW.]

[CAN I COME SEE YOU?]

I want to stay longer.

Which room?

Room 206.

What do you think? Does it suit me?

- Hey. - Hello.

You’re early.

Mi-seong?

Wait.

This music...

We heard it together, right?

How did you know I was here?

You see...

I have a confession.

What?

I had

many men

as lovers in my life.

What are you talking about?

It’s true.

I had many men

as lovers in my life.

But...

since I saw you,

sleeping with strangers could no longer fill my empty heart.

I was afraid

I’d never be able to...

have you.

You’re crazy.

You’ve lost your mind.

It’s true.

I had many men as lovers in my life.

Did you just throw that at me?

Yes.

Oh my god.

What’s going on?

I don’t feel well.

I put something in your water earlier.

You’ll feel better soon.

It’s true.

I had many men

as lovers in my life.

But since I saw you,

sleeping with strangers could no longer fill my empty heart.

No, no!

Oh, no.

Please...

It’s true.

I had many men...

as lovers in my life.

- Are you okay? - Shit!

A crazy bitch beat me up and stole my clothes.

Where did she go? That crazy bitch!

It hurts. Please, call the police.

Did you find glasses at the scene?

No.

Did you see their S lines?

The admin worker always only had one.

But she wasn’t connected to the music teacher.

Why would someone do something like this?

I don’t know.

And probably never will.

Do you think this case has something to do with the glasses, too?

I think...

The glasses she always wore at school...

...are the ones we were looking for.

Every time she came here, she seemed completely different from at school.

She probably thought she was special...

...after she started wearing the glasses.

Detective.

That applies to everyone with no exception.

That’s why the glasses are dangerous.

KANG SEON-A

Detective.

That applies to everyone with no exception.

That’s why the glasses are dangerous.

I was going to tell you first.

Give me that.

As soon as I put these glasses on,

I realized you were telling the truth and I got chills all over.

I don’t trust you.

Get rid of the glasses.

I think there’s a case of sexual assault on a minor.

Did you have sexual relations—

No.

Why is she lying?

There seem to be a lot of cases related to the school lately.

Detective.

A virgin?

You’re wearing new glasses.

Would you like to have dinner with me sometime?

Sorry?
