(Madam)

Yes, hello?

Was today the day to wrap things up?

Yes. Everything is being prepared without a hitch.

Are you sure about this?

If anything goes wrong, even slightly...

Sister.

Just worrying about my daughter is giving me a headache right now.

Is Ah Hyun doing okay?

I heard the first months of pregnancy are really tough.

I'm wondering if I should go visit her myself.

She's holding up well.

Once she's in the stable period, I'll invite you to our home soon, Madam.

Okay. I'll be waiting, Sister.

Have all the kids arrived?

Except for one.

(The Defects Episode 8. Final Refund)

Wrap things up? What do you mean?

Actually,

there was a bit of a hassle.

But it'll be taken care of.

It'll be fine.

Hello?

Ah Hyun?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Parents, please follow the staff's guidance...

and proceed to headquarters.

Once again,

parents, please follow the staff's guidance...

- We'll be back in a bit. - and proceed to headquarters.

We'll be back.

(Daily Green Food Wholesale)

We've arrived at the back entrance.

You're working so hard.

The delivery's here.

Let's check. Could you open the trunk?

Follow me.

Come this way.

Open it quickly.

You'd better not open it.

What the...

We have to find Kim Se Hee.

We must stop this before the refund starts.

Everyone, stay alert.

I forgot it.

Damn it.

- She's nuts. - Who are you?

I thought this was the bathroom.

Bathroom? Don't be ridiculous. What are you?

- Hey, don't touch me. - What's your problem?

Look.

Hey, light me up too.

You son of a...

(Firearm Distribution)

What? Firearm distribution?

(Firearm and Ammunition Log)

(Eun Jo's Parents, Do Hyun's Parents)

Damn it.

Hey, this is...

That's us.

Ah Hyun! Tae Sik!

So Mi.

Ju An.

Ah Hyun.

- Guys. - Woo Tae Sik!

So Mi, I'm sorry.

That jerk Ju An.

So Mi.

Tae Sik!

(Confidentiality Agreement)

What do we do, honey?

Now, please follow our instructions. Follow us.

Why do they keep telling us to follow them?

Why do they keep telling us to come out?

Come quickly.

You'll be abandoned too anyway.

You know that.

I know that too.

Yes. I, Yoo Han Gyeol,

agree to disown and dispose of Yoo Hae Yoon,

whom I adopted 17 years ago.

I, Choi Seong Sil,

agree to disown and dispose of Jo A Ra.

Refund reasons? There are too many.

The kid had too much acne.

They say acne is hereditary too, right?

I wondered what the issue was.

I can't even.

As expected, it was defective.

The kid was always catching colds and fevers.

My wife had a really hard time raising the kid.

Since we're changing anyway, we want one with better fortune this time.

Will you match horoscopes for us too?

I...

don't really have anything to say.

Our child is very ill.

She was fine when we first brought her home.

Then she was suddenly diagnosed with a rare disease.

There's medicine that can cure her.

A few injections will do it,

but it costs one million dollars.

Do you know what my first thought was when I heard that?

The price we paid for Eun Jo.

That figure came to mind immediately.

Adding that...

to the million dollars for treatment, I wondered how much it all came to.

Calculating it like that,

I truly...

felt disgusted with myself.

When you raise a child,

there are precious,

overwhelming moments...

that money can never buy...

no matter what.

And...

while raising Eun Jo, I've experienced...

so many of those moments.

But...

in front of that million-dollar price tag, I thought those things.

But I don't think like that anymore.

I realized...

I'm Eun Jo's mom.

How did it go?

It'll be taken care of soon.

Let's go.

Here she comes.

You've arrived.

I see everyone's here.

We're done here, right?

Still, it's the last time, so you should say your goodbyes properly.

Goodbyes? What goodbyes?

This whole thing feels wrong and uncomfortable.

Are you trying to make us feel guilty now?

Do you feel guilty?

You shouldn't feel that yet. We haven't even started.

You haven't even paid the price yet.

Let's share the guilt now.

- Guns? - What's that for?

Today,

all of you must kill your own children.

This isn't what we agreed on.

If this is how it is, I want to cancel the refund.

You're telling us to murder? This doesn't make any sense.

I'm canceling the refund.

Please cancel it.

They were products from the start.

You paid for them, didn't you?

Why are you treating them like people now and trying to back out?

Still, you're telling us to kill?

This is insane, isn't it?

Don't overthink it.

Don't be scared.

Come on.

Even animals are categorized...

as livestock or wild animals based on usefulness.

It's the same with humans.

If you're going to raise them at home, they should be useful.

Think of it simply.

You're slaughtering them because they've outlived their use.

I plan to clean up...

this dirty business today.

That's why we needed customers like you.

Murder.

Solicitation of murder.

Complicity in murder.

You know,

those are serious crimes.

Now we're all on the same boat.

This is insane.

All rumors about purchased adoptions...

will disappear here.

Of course, I'll participate too.

Today,

I'm going to kill...

my own child today too.

I can't do it.

I'm leaving.

This isn't right. This doesn't make any sense.

- Let go. - Bring her here.

Let go!

Mom.

- Eun Jo. - Eun Jo!

No.

- Don't do it. - Please.

We will begin the Healing Camp Program...

with Dr. Kim Se Hee shortly.

Everyone, please gather at the center of the campground.

Move toward the campfire.

What can you give to your parents?

What kind of child can you be for them?

Shall we talk about it?

Now, who wants to go first?

I'll go first.

My parents really love me,

and they truly care for me.

When do you feel that your parents love you?

When I throw the ball well,

Mom and Dad were really happy.

And every time, I felt so encouraged.

I see.

But even though I can't play sports anymore,

whatever I do,

I'm sure they'll always support and cheer me on.

I used to be a professional baseball player.

I trained desperately and made it into the team,

but I realized that going from the second to the first league wasn't...

something effort alone could achieve.

No matter how hard I tried,

I couldn't catch up to players born with talent.

So I gave up my dream of being a baseball player.

Do Hyun, what do you want to do now?

Honestly, I haven't thought about it in detail.

But I think I really enjoy taking photos.

Even while I was playing sports, whenever I had time,

I'd take pictures of my friends,

and I really enjoyed it.

Both my wife and I dream...

of sending our son to the Major League.

So we'd like to meet a child...

who has that potential.

What's this?

I'm not pregnant.

I never had the procedure either.

What are you talking about?

However,

a baby might still be born.

What do you mean?

From the beginning,

Mom never planned to use my egg to make a baby.

She planned to use her own.

What?

In the lab,

there are hundreds,

no, thousands of her eggs stored.

She collects sperms from men with excellent genes,

combines them with her own genes, and creates exceptional children.

Using countless surrogates to create them,

dispose of them,

create more,

and dispose of them again.

That's how...

I was made.

And also, your child...

Wait. Stop.

So you're telling me, Sister,

I mean,

that woman was...

trying to make...

her own child,

not mine?

She dared...

to deceive me and my husband?

She's a total lunatic.

Unbelievable. Damn it.

But why are you telling me this?

What's going on?

What's this?

Damn it.

Hey.

Did you take a hit?

Everyone, thank you for waiting.

We will now begin the game.

The survival game begins now.

Mom.

Mom.

The rules are simple.

Don't die. Just survive.

If you get shot, you die.

Dad.

- As you run and hide from the bullets, - Lift your gun.

- you'll come to realize... - Mom.

- Mom. - that surviving isn't...

easy at all.

Right, and one more rule.

No matter what, you must never call "Mom" or "Dad."

If you have a gun but don't shoot, you die.

Stay still.

Just stay still.

Dad.

Now, let's start the game.

Ready.

Set. Go.

Don't.

Five.

I'll study hard.

Mom.

Four.

Three.

Mom.

- Two. - I'm sorry.

One.

Do Hyun!

What are you doing?

Are you insane?

I'll be...

the selfish mom who saves Eun Jo.

Eun Jo is...

here.

If I shoot you,

they'll let Eun Jo live.

Eun Jo!

- Eun Jo. - Eun Jo.

- Eun Jo! - No.

No.

You said you'd save her!

But she's alive!

Move.

Move!

Kill me.

Eun Jo is my daughter.

Mom!

Honey!

Eun Jo.

I'm...

sorry.

Mom.

I'm sorry...

for not being a good mom.

Mom.

No.

Honey, wake up.

Wake up!

Honey.

Get Kim Ah Hyun!

So Mi!

Ah Hyun.

So Mi!

Stop it.

Ah Hyun.

Stop it!

What's a mother?

Mom.

If you have nothing to say, hang up. Useless girl.

What is a mother?

But Se Hee,

I don't need you anymore.

There are mothers like me in this world...

and daughters like you...

who get killed by mothers like me.

This is the police.

Kim Se Hee and her organization,

you are under arrest for child abduction and confinement,

murder and solicitation of murder,

corpse abandonment and mutilation, child trafficking and kidnapping.

Drop your weapons and surrender.

This is a warning.

Drop your weapons and surrender.

Put down your guns.

Drop your weapons and surrender.

This is a warning.

If you do not drop your weapons and surrender,

- Director, you need to get out of here. - we will open fire.

(Police Commissioner)

(Police Commissioner Jeon Jae Du)

Damn it.

(Chairwoman)

- Hello? - Commissioner.

You need to clean this up.

You said you weren't sending the police today.

What is this?

This is not where they're supposed to be right now.

I can't even.

Hey.

The police are just doing their job, catching criminals.

What's wrong with that?

You need to leave.

That feels good.

(Kim Se Hee)

Madam.

(Kim Se Hee)

I'll stay silent for the rest of my life...

if you help me.

You have to help me.

Nice to meet you, Ah Hyun.

My Mary.

Drop your weapons and surrender.

This is a warning.

If you do not drop your weapons and surrender, we will open fire.

(VIP)

Yes.

I trust you'll handle this cleanly...

without traces.

Yes, of course.

Don't worry.

Without traces.

This is a warning.

If you do not drop your weapons and surrender, we will open fire.

Uncle.

It's over.

That's enough now.

This is a warning.

Move once more and we will open fire.

(SWAT Team)

Director.

You can...

abandon me now.

Go!

Uncle!

Uncle.

Uncle, no!

Uncle.

Uncle, no.

Uncle.

No. Please no.

Uncle.

(Kim Se Hee)

Hello?

Madam.

Sister.

Right now,

something seems to have gone terribly wrong.

I think the Police Commissioner misunderstood something.

Like what?

I mean,

I'm supposedly being arrested by the police or something.

Just...

shut your mouth and die.

Then you won't get arrested.

(Kiss Café)

Yes, this is Kiss Café.

Mom.

Who is this?

Mom.

It's Se Hee.

But there are a dozen Se Hees.

Hey, which Se Hee are you?

Ahn Se Hee? Kim Se Hee? Choi Se Hee?

Kim Se Hee.

Why did you call?

Do you need money?

No, I...

If you've got nothing to say, hang up. Useless girl.

Did you call to tell on us to the woman at the café?

Guys, do you know why her name is Kim Se Hee?

The director told me.

Mom.

Hey.

Mom.

Here.

Se Hee, do you know why your name is Se Hee?

No.

Remember the story I told you long ago...

about that Miss Park I used to work with?

The one who married a rich guy and turned her life around.

Right.

Her name was Se Hee.

I wanted to be like her.

That's why I named you Se Hee.

I thought if I kept calling that name, I might become like her too.

I see.

But Se Hee,

I don't need you anymore.

I think I'm finally going to get lucky myself.

Someone will come and fix things for you somehow.

So behave.

Bye now.

Mom.

Mom.

I went through so much to make this.

I...

I put everything into this.

What do they think they're doing?

Do they think I'm going to collapse like this?

Do you think that'll be perfect?

Honey.

My girl.

You're here.

You just want to believe it's perfect.

You're...

just making another child who looks like you.

That "perfect being" you talk about is...

someone who isn't even you.

Born to proper parents,

raised differently from you,

given nothing but love,

and growing up...

to shine brilliantly, unlike you.

Shut up!

You reek.

The stench is overwhelming.

You thought I didn't know?

That rotting stench comes...

from your festering inferiority complex.

No.

No.

You said all a child needs is love...

and that just looking at them with loving eyes is enough.

Then why didn't you do that for me?

I thought maybe,

you'd regret having abandoned me.

I hoped you'd wonder...

if I might still be alive.

If I'd known you were this pathetic,

I wouldn't have missed you so much.

I should've just hated you...

and loathed you.

I regret ever expecting anything.

You lost...

completely.

This morning, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office...

raided SH Medical Foundation.

As the so-called "Kim Se Hee Gate" breaks open...

over the late Kim Se Hee's illegal adoption trafficking,

the political and business sectors are on high alert,

and attention is focused on whether further allegations will be revealed.

Untie us.

Hurry and untie us.

That bastard caught us.

He's a total psychopath.

Don't move!

Stop.

(GED, College Entrance)

(2 years later)

(Song Again)

Hey.

Mom.

Si Woo.

It must've been tough. How was it?

- It was hard. - What was?

Math was really tough.

Still, you have to do it.

- Let's go eat. - Let's go.

(Song Again)

Yu Na.

Either eat or sing. Pick one.

Why am I still so nervous when I've auditioned so many times?

I'm nervous too.

Si Woo, do you think I'll do well this time?

Of course, because you're my sister.

Of course, because you're my daughter.

Si Woo, after we drop her off, do you want to go to the amusement park?

Really?

What? I'm going too.

We were going just the two of us today.

Come on, Mom. That's not fair. I'm going too.

Should we wait a little, then go together?

Yes.

All right, we'll all go together then.

- Okay. - Okay.

Seriously, Tae Sik?

Is this place just made for you?

How does your face keep getting better every time I see you?

Don't be ridiculous.

Is everything all right?

Is anyone bothering you here?

If there is, tell me. I'll handle it.

What about you? Are you studying hard?

Come on, of course I'm...

not.

I'm just living life as a fanboy, that's all.

What's fun these days?

These days,

console games are really fun.

I even bought a ton of game cartridges to play with you.

Wait. Around the time you get out...

Two? Three?

Maybe even season four will be released.

Are the kids...

doing okay?

Of course.

Tomorrow we're all going to see Seok Su.

I wish I could come with you.

Join us next time.

Promise.

Pinky promise.

I'll do it. Promise.

Promise.

Seok Su, it's really nice here.

Just like we promised,

we came.

I really miss you, Seok Su.

Guys, here.

It's here.

This is no joke. It's eight servings.

There's so much meat,

and it's supposed to be a housewarming, but it feels kind of empty.

There's only meat. It doesn't really feel right.

I like it.

Still, it does feel a bit empty.

Do you want me to make some ramyeon?

I seriously almost threw up just now.

Even hearing the word "ramyeon" makes me gag.

Seriously.

But wait, I think I smell fried chicken.

Si Woo, you're amazing.

How did you know?

Ta-da.

- Really? - Ah Hyun.

Thank you. Is this really for me?

- Don't be like that. - Let's eat together.

Who's taking the drumstick?

- Me. - All right. Si Woo.

And you, Ah Hyun.

Yes, let me try a drumstick too.

And for our youngest.

So Mi gets this one. This is a drumstick too.

This part is super dry.

Just kidding. I'll give you a wing.

The night view is really pretty here.

Should we take a selfie together?

Should we?

Okay, I'll take a picture.

One, two, three.

(The Defects, Epilogue)

You lost.

Completely.

I love you.

Mom.

Crazy bitch.
