Original subtitles

If I were to be born again,

I'd like to live once again

as my wife's husband and my son's father.

That is what I wish.

I suppose it's just my greed?

I'm sorry, Joon-jae.

I love you, my son.

Father.

Father.

119?

There is an emergency patient here.

Any recent medications?

I'm not sure. He recently had an emergency surgery

due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

He was also scheduled to receive cataract surgery

so he was probably taking medications related to that.

There are no other injuries, and the spot test

shows no reaction to toxic chemicals.

Seeing that his lips are blue, it seems to be myocardial infarction,

but we'll have more details

-after further examination. -Where is your mother?

She went out.

About two hours ago,

she called me and said she had an appointment

So she doesn't know your father passed away yet?

That's right.

I haven't had a chance to tell her yet.

I thought she would be in too much shock when she found out.

Oh, I see.

Then, let's move him to the hospital that has his medical records.

Would you agree to it?

Yes.

Father!

What do we do now!

No...

Wait, please. Wait, Father.

Not yet, Father.

Dad!

I'm sorry, Dad!

I'm sorry!

We can officailly proceed with the funeral after the post-mortem examination.

So prepare for the funeral.

Alright.

I will do that.

Heo Chi-hyeon.

Come here, you bastard!

What are you doing? Who are you?

Because of you, my father...

Because of you and that woman!

I won't leave you alone!

I'll kill you.

I'll kill both of you!

Is this guy crazy? Why are you doing this?

Get off!

You murderers!

You two killed my father!

Who are you?

-I asked who are you? -I am...

I am Heo Il-joong's son!

I am...

his son...

He's right.

He's my younger brother.

Younger brother?

I'm your younger brother?

What are you? What are you, bastard?

What do you think you are?

Let go! Do you want to get arrested?

Do something about it here!

Let go! Let go!

-Let go! -Who are you?

Let go of me!

Hold him! Hold him!

-Let go! -Do not touch him, jerks!

Get off.

Don't touch him.

Heo Joon-jae. Get a hold of yourself now.

That's right. Come to your senses.

Father...

Father has passed away.

I should have stopped it,

but I couldn't.

That's why you need to come to your senses, punk.

You need to find everything out.

You need to find out why your father became like that.

Go to your father for now,

and I'll take care of things here. Okay?

Hey! Officer Cha!

What are you doing?

What happened to Heo Joon-jae?

-I'm so worried I can't sleep. -I'm sure Detective Hong will let us know.

But Cheong, there's something I'm curious about. Can I ask you?

You said it earlier.

Ma Dae-young.

It's Ma Dae-young.

Since he can't remember anything right now.

What can't he remember?

Who he is, what he has done so far.

Did Ma Dae-young really lose all his memories?

How do you know?

-Did you make him that way? -Why are you asking something like that?

I never thought I knew you so well,

but these days, I really am not sure

who you are

and what kind of abilities you possess.

Who are you?

I...

am your friend.

Ah, my friend.

But after I make someone believe I'm his friend,

I stab his back. That's my job.

I don't like that you are that kind of person, but for me,

once I become a friend, that's all. Whether you back stab or not

is your choice.

If you stab me in the back,

then I will think about what to do with you.

Until then, you are my friend.

-Why aren't you guys answering my calls? -You startled me.

What's going on?

Can you erase for me?

The memories of my father?

Heo Joon-jae...

You can do it, can't you?

Will you erase it?

Please?

All the good memories hurt...

because they were good

Bad memories hurt...

because they were bad.

All my memories of my father...

hurt too much.

I still can't erase them.

No matter how much it hurts, you loved your father.

You hold onto

the memory of love even if it hurts.

If I had gotten there just a little sooner,

I could have saved Father.

No.

If I hated him just a little less,

I could have saved my father.

No.

Just a little...

No.

It's not your fault.

It's not because of you.

I should have answered

the last time he called me.

I should have answered and said that it was okay,

that I forgive him for everything.

That I...

love him, too.

I should have said it.

I couldn't say those words.

I was so busy hating him...

I couldn't say those words.

Just one day...

No.

Just one hour...

If I could have just one minute.

I want to talk to my father.

Now I can't.

I can't do it anymore.

Some words are

said without talking.

I am sure he knew it all.

MORTUARY

Honey...

Why are you here?

Why?

Mother.

This is not possible.

He told me to have good time.

You told me to get some fresh air.

You said, "See you later."

I shouldn't have gone out!

Honey!

I can't... If you leave like this, how am I supposed to live?

No! This is unthinkable!

It can't be possible.

How could you, all by yourself...

-How can you leave me like this? -Please calm your mother down.

It will be hard to go in the mortuary like this.

No, Honey! No! You can't!

Honey!

-Mother! -It looks like she fainted from shock.

Let's get her to the ER.

Wow! It's a shame to watch the show by myself.

She really has great talent. She should've been an actress.

How did your father become like that all of a sudden?

They are still examining the body.

We will know the results tomorrow morning.

That's why I told him to stop drinking too much. And smoking, too.

He just didn't listen.

As one gets older,

I hear you forget recent memories and only remember old memories.

That's how I am already.

Old memories seem like they were just yesterday.

Your father didn't seem to be that way, though.

Did you meet him?

Yeah.

About a month ago, I saw him in this hospital accidentally.

He pretended not to know me.

Even though our eyes met, he walked right past me.

His gaze seemed to be that of someone who really forgot it all.

He is such a cold person.

If I were to be born again,

I'd like to live once again

as my wife's husband and my son's father.

That is what I wish.

I suppose it's just my greed?

Father had such severe corneal damage

that he could hardly see.

What?

He didn't pretend not to see you,

he really couldn't.

Yes, Attorney Lee.

Please submit his death registration tomorrow.

I will send you the certificate and other necessary documents.

Also,

work on transferring the inheritance.

How long will it take?

It will take about a week.

That's too long.

Finish it as soon as possible.

I'm fine now.

I won't take medication, so you don't need to get the prescription.

It was you, wasn't it?

What was?

Mother, you have to tell me.

I need to know so I can help.

That's right.

You are right.

But...

under any circumstances,

you don't know anything.

Mr. Jo Nam-doo?

Attention!

A new warrior?

I am Park Moo.

I heard your skills are excellent.

Please assist my son well.

If one possesses a lot,

a lot of people are after him.

Yes, but... how do you know my name?

Can we talk a little?

I heard that Joon-jae is doing some strange work.

I was worried and looked into it a bit.

I see.

While I was doing it,

I found out about you.

You are a bit different from Joon-jae.

Joon-jae scammed against victims with hidden dirty or illegal money

that they would be unable to report.

But you didn't care about the source.

In other words you do...

all kinds of work?

Yes.

I don't discriminate.

I eat all kinds of things

and I do all kinds of work.

That's how it is.

What of it?

As early as tomorrow.

Or even as early as today,

I can put you in jail.

What will you do?

Will you listen to me,

or will you rot?

Why are you speaking informally?

Please treat me kindly.

I am... always on the side of the one with a lot of money.

And it looks like you will...

inherit all your father's assets.

If that's the case,

there is no need to threaten me so harshly.

I have plenty of reasons to side with you.

What is it you want?

I will get rid of Joon-jae.

Where?

Anywhere.

Anywhere is fine.

In fact,

there is something I really want.

Something special.

If Joon-jae disappears,

I think it will be easier for me, too.

That's fine.

I hesitated a bit because I felt a bit close to him,

but sure, let's do it.

Our relationship has to end at some point.

The cause of death is...

sudden death by acute heart failure.

Sudden death?

Not by poisoning?

If his death were caused by toxic poison,

his lips would have turned dark brown.

But in his case, his lips were bluish.

It's a typical symptom of cardiac arrest.

In addition, toxic chemicals would have caused black death spots,

but that was not the case. Based on his medical records,

I believe it was a natural death caused by acute heart failure.

That would be true with a strong poison like cyanide,

But poison extracted from a natural substance, like Wolfsbane,

appears differently.

The symptoms are said to mimic heart failure.

I want an autopsy done to discover the real cause of death

and the cause of the corneal damage.

You want to kill your father twice?

Why? Is there something you don't want to be revealed?

That's not what I'm saying, Joon-jae.

Sending away your father

alone like that makes me crazy.

I don't want him to be hacked to pieces with a knife again.

What in the world do you want to find out by you having an autopsy?

-The evidence that you killed my father. -Hey!

Don't do it, Chi-hyeon.

It's already been ten years, Joon-jae.

Over ten years,

your father missed you so much,

but you never once visited home.

I am curious as to why you are being like this all of a sudden.

Is it because of money?

If it's because of money, I'll give it all to you.

So let him go peacefully.

He is your father, after all.

Let's not be so cruel.

Your performance might have fooled many people, even yourself,

and blinded my father's eyes.

That won't work anymore.

I am Heo Il-joong's only biological son.

The Wolfsbane flowers found in that house, Kang Seo-hee's micro-needles,

and a large amount of anticholinergic, all make incriminating evidence of murder,

Therefore an autopsy.

I am the oldest son

and the only son father acknowledged.

He ran away from home ten years ago

and cut off his relationship with our father.

There was a big conflict with Father recently due to inheritance issues.

My mother and I do not want an autopsy.

Father would agree.

We have a warrant to search the place.

-Get started. -Yes, Sir.

Isn't it a bit early for funeral clothes?

The funeral will start soon.

If we do an autopsy, you won't be able to have a funeral.

I guess you are confident.

Think whatever you want to think.

No matter what I say,

you won't believe me anyway.

By any chance, do you know Kang Ji-hyeon?

And, from now on,

if you have anything else you'd like to ask me,

please go through my lawyer.

Ah, your lawyer.

I suppose you do have something to say through your lawyer.

Of course you do.

It's your twin sister's name.

It was really hard to obtain this picture from your childhood,

but the two of you really look alike.

So you are identical twins, right?

I don't know what you are trying to say.

Where is your sister now?

Or...

are you her?

I'm going crazy.

-Hey, didn't anything come up? -As you can see.

Sir, maybe you were wrong this time?

No.

It couldn't have escaped from this house.

There must be something here.

Honey, no red tie today.

-Wear a black one. -Why?

CEO Heo... passed away.

What? How?

I don't know!

I just heard the news.

Oh, how is it turning now?

If he passes away so suddenly,

what will happen to our fate?

I heard CEO Heo left all his assets to the adopted son and Kang Seo-hee.

That's what I heard. But still,

even though he had notarized his will,

I thought he would give it to his biological son.

That's right. A will can be changed.

But if he passed away so suddenly, they can't do anything about it, can they?

-Then did we line up on the wrong side? -It's beyond lining up on the wrong side.

To think what I did to that woman, Kang Seo-hee...

Oh, my god, really!

I will be put to death by dismemberment!

Is it to late to change side?

What kind of person are you?

It's acceptable for a person to change sides once,

but changing twice, that is just wrong.

I can't do that!

Then what do we do?

I don't know, either!

Hey!

What are you doing here?

What do you think?

I'm getting too much attention. It will be awkward for you.

Joon-jae's dad...

there are too many reasons why I couldn't forgive you,

but it's still sad to see the end of you.

Can you see me now?

Take a good look at me.

You need to say farewell.

Like mother, like son.

You're just the same.

For over ten years, your son never came to visit his father.

Now that he is dead,

there is no better son than him.

It must all be for the money.

You also came here

to try to find some crumbs to collect, isn't it?

If you'd have just stayed quiet, I would have given you something.

If you make so much noise,

do you think I would want to even give you a penny?

Hey!

Are you crazy?

You and your sons are the ones here to collect crumbs.

If you did that,

you should have been satisfied by leeching off of others.

Now the thief is acting like the owner?

You are too greedy.

What?

A thief?

-What is this? -Are you trying to hit her?

You are not in a position to hit her.

Who are you?

Who are you to intervene?

You watch what you say.

Is she someone you know?

No wonder!

Let go! I said let go!

What are you doing now?

What I'm trying to do is... There's something I'm curious about.

What is this?

Be sure to take your medicine.

Cheong, what's wrong?

What did you just do?

I could have done everything,

but I didn't do anything,

because you shouldn't forget

all the wrongs that you did.

I think...

you should remember them till the end.

You should remember

all the things that you coveted,

so you will be more tormented for not obtaining them.

Let's go now.

More side dishes, please.

-I'm not a worker here. -Yes, Sir.

-Oh, Madam! -Madam!

Madam, you must be so sad!

Oh, your face is gaunt.

Despite all that Madam, you're so beautiful.

You'll be okay...

Wow, how could anyone be so base?

They're lucky.

Why do I stick to my own principles so strangely?

Stupid me!

Where's Yoo-ran? We're the odd ones out at this point.

Should I do something to help, too?

Did they find evidence?

-Not yet. -You're not going to the funeral hall?

I'm not going.

You should still go.

How can I go?

I still haven't figured out

how my father passed away.

-Do you really have to do that? -What?

-The autopsy. -What?

It's all in the past.

Whatever is revealed,

it won't bring your father back.

We're pointlessly poking at them at this point.

Instead, you should sweet talk them

working things out to ensure you'll inherit something at least.

Even if it's someone else's business, is that something to be said now?

I don't think I said anything wrong.

Think about it.

Heo Joon-jae.

I think I saw something.

You came to me to get caught up in a mess like this,

having to see bad things you don't need to see.

The fact that all those things become your memories upsets me.

Even though I'm happy that I can protect you with what I have?

You protect me?

Why, Heo Joon-jae?

You don't think I can? It's true I came onto the land knowing nothing,

and so I was treated like an idiot.

But I was totally capable in the sea.

-Is that so? -Of course!

Despite what you see, I'm a mermaid of an endangered species.

These days you human beings with your submarines and skin scuba,

whatever you call it, invade the ocean. You know how hard it is for mermaids

to stay hidden and survive?

And sharks appear whenever , saying, "We'll bite and kill you."

Our lives are hard, too.

What do you do when a shark comes?

I can fight a shark and still win.

Wow, really?

My girlfriend's the best!

You're smiling.

From now on, I'll keep making you smile.

"I'll protect you. I'll make you smile."

Things the guy's supposed to say!

I'll protect you. I'll make you smile.

Fool, saying all the things I'm supposed to say.

What should we do? We've found nothing.

Here.

-Where are you going? -The basement?

I looked there already.

She build this room.

This never existed.

Forensics and I looked over this place.

Over there.

-Nordic Wolfsbane. -Don't touch it.

Don't touch anything. A fingerprint or anything else could come out.

What is this? Isn't that a mermaid?

It's Ma Dae-young.

Ma Dae-young was here.

And Kang Seo-hee was Kang Ji-hyeon.

Joon-jae, thank goodness you came. You should be here with your older brother

as chief mourner.

I should.

After I put you in jail.

-What? -The unnatural death case

of the deceased, Heo Il-joong, as of this moment, is a murder case.

The deceased will immediately be transferred for an autopsy.

What did you say?

On whose order?

Kang Seo-hee, or Kang Ji-hyeon,

I'm arresting you as a murder suspect.

You have the right to remain silent

and the right to the attorney you like so much, so do as you wish.

Do you have evidence? Do you have a warrant?

Thanks to so much evidence your mother left at home for us to easily collect.

we're arresting her without a warrant.

Are you saying I killed my husband?

You should frame the right person.

If my husband heard you, he'd be so upset.

Shut up!

Don't you dare speak my father's name so easily.

His words have weight.

What are you doing? Why are you putting such things on me? Take them off?

Take these off!

You are making a mistake.

Take them off!

You think you can do this to an innocent and be at peace?

Take them off!

Chi-hyeon! Contact the lawyer!

Chi-hyeon! Call the lawyer, hurry!

Piece of shit.

Chi-hyeon!

Si-ah.

Hi.

But did something happen? Why is the atmosphere like this here?

How can such a thing happen?

Joon-jae must be so heartbroken.

I mean he only just reunited with his mother,

and this kind of thing happens.

Where is your car?

-I took the bus. -Should I take you home?

I'm fine.

Well, do you want to? It is late.

But you can't have other thoughts, okay?

It would be burdensome to me.

Hey, isn't this guy insanely hot?

Hey, look. He's totally good-looking.

They're so loud.

What is this?

He's won the lotto.

He'd be so excited to know that he's fallen asleep on my shoulder.

How can he be prettier than a girl?

-Hey! -Did you see this?

This is awesome! Really!

This is serious!

Oh no, I have to get off here.

Sleep here.

Ma Dae-young may have lost his memory,

but he remembers the mermaid.

So it seems.

Ma Dae-young seems to be better than Dam-ryeong sometimes

when it comes to thinking of the mermaid.

Se-hwa seems to speak so nicely.

Her smile is pretty

and her actions are so demure.

I wonder if the face is the same, the person could be the same.

Stop!

Why do you do that, really?

But...

would everything really only be repeating from the past life?

Why?

Truthfully, when I was erasing Ma Dae-young's memory,

I saw another person's face.

Who?

The spear we were hit with when we died wasn't thrown by Ma Dae-young.

What do you mean?

It was thrown by someone else.

I saw that person's face.

Who was it?

Someone we know.

It seems they only have circumstantial evidence.

No direct evidence

that you gave the poison to the CEO.

They are going to interrogate you.

Only listen.

Keep your answers short.

If they ask you unfavorable questions, say, "I don't r emember",

"My head hurts", or "I have a chronic disease."

You can use your right to remain silent.

Because they arrested you urgently without a warrant,

they can only hold you for 48 hours.

Hurry up and tell us.Your silence wil be treated as evidence.

I don't know.

Look here. You had this cup and these ten plates...

- I don't know. -Why were you prescribed anticholinergics?

Oh, my head hurts!

No.

-With water infused with Wolfsbane! -Oh! I don't know!

I have a panic disorder, so...

I'm telling you that I don't remember and I don't know anything!

She's decided to hold out on "I don't remember".

There is so much evidence I thought she'd confess.

If she admits it, she'll be disqualified as a successor

and lose all that money.

She'll put up with it.

Without a confession, It'd be an investigation without detention?

Looks like he's leaving after meeting the detective.

Your mother will be released at about 6:00 p.m. today, right?

Then...

how about this evening?

Detective Hong will make a move sooner or later. We strike first.

I feel a bit urgent too.

POLICE WITH DEVOTION SEOUL GANGNAM POLICE

What's the matter?

Joon-jae...

What about him?

Is he crazy? Why did he do that?

Can't I go by myself? What if it's dangerous?

Tae-oh, there's something you don't know. If we had a real fight,

you wouldn't even be able to save your bones.

Just know that I'm way stronger than you and hurry up.

Tie him tighter.

Hey, you bastard!

How could you?

How could you do this to me?

You were the one who fell for a woman

and stopped working with me. You're the one who betrayed me, bastard!

I have to make a living too.

I'm sorry about this.

Untie me!

Untie me, you son of a bitch!

Oh, and this.

What is that?

Your suicide note.

It'll be discovered in your room tomorrow.

You will commit suicide over the guilt of having killed your father.

What?

Don't do it.

Don't do it.

It's the component that killed your father. Acrotine?

That's what it's called. If it's fast, in ten minutes,

or if it's slow, in 30 minutes, you'll become comfortable.

You son of a bitch.

Since you couldn't get any inheritance from Father,

that's enough of a murder motive.

And... since you know the layout of our house well,

you concealed the evidence in the basement.

Oh, Joon-jae.

It's not hard to come up with a story.

-Chi-hyeon. -Yes, Mother.

Will you wait outside with that person?

You think I'll do as you wish and leave you alone?

If you won't,

what are you going to do?

Dead men tell no tales.

Look at your father.

He can't say anything.

You...

How could you do that to Father?

Father was so good to you!

And wasn't I good?

It was 17 years.

I spent 17 years satisfying his every whim,

and I was very good.

But...

when it came time to bequeath his fortune,

he only looked for his blood.

So you killed him?hh

Yes.

I killed him.

Your father was dying anyway.

Truthfully, he's been ingestng the poison far more than one or two days.

He was becoming addicted to it in very small amounts,

so he didn't know.

He could not have lasted another year.

but with him saying he wanted to draw up a will of all things,

I just sent him a bit early.

You killed your previous husbands just like that, too, didn't you,

Kang Ji-hyeon?

Yeah.

Oh, but...

even after 20 years have passed, no one knows.

Perhaps, even after 20 years pass, no one will know...

that I killed you and your father.

You really think so?

Who set the alarm?

I told you not to do that during working hours. Come out!

What is this?

What is this? What are you?

Can't you let this go? Let go!

You! How dare you!

Look and see how many people put on such a show

to make you confess to your crimes.

Hey, this person has a panic disorder.

Hurry up and arrest her and lock her up, so she can be alone.

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go! Hey! Heo Joon-jae! You!

Let go of me!

Hey, a job came in from Heo Chi-hyeon.

Do I look like a betrayer? Why does everyone do this to me?

Heo Chi-hyeon does see a person correctly.

So what did you say?

What do you mean? I said I'd do it.

Oh, jeez!

Untrustworthy.

Hey, he's a successor

and you got nothing.

You know my principle. First, money.

Second, more money.

Then you should just take the money--

Why are you coming here to tell us?

Sadly, the third principle doesn't fit.

The third principle? What's that?

Manners.

What?

I value manners.

This jerk kept speaking casually to me when he's younger than I am.

-I speak casually to you, too. -You're the house owner.

I have a respect for the home owner. Respect and admiration.

So, you said no?

No, I said yes.

What are you trying to do?

We have to go hit him together.

-What? -The back of his head.

We're being wiretapped nearby.

I'll only speak to you via texts.

-Did any fingerprints come out yet? -Not yet.

-You're not going to the funeral hall? -I'm not.

Act angry.

You should go.

How can I go?

I still haven't figured out how my father passed away.

No! Angrier!

Do you have to do that?

-What? -The autopsy.

Even if it's someone else's business, is that something to be said now?

Good! Well done!

Let's get ready.

Okay.

I'll hit you in front of the car door.

Fall down, fall down.

Make it look realistic.

You got hit from the back. You wouldn't drip blood in the front!

It really hurt earlier.

It's not even a real steel pipe. Why are you making such a fuss?

Hey, is it a right or a left at the coast?

Straight.

Hey, I lost it because of you! Damn it.

Let go!

Let go!

You, Heo Joon-jae!

Let go!

Let go!

Mother!

Chi-hyeon!

You son of a bitch!

-Chi-hyeon! -No!

Why...

Good job!

Hey!

Chi-hyeon!

Hurry up and get in.

Joon-jae!

I saw that person's face.

Heo Chi-hyeon.
