Black Light

Miss?

It's the last stop. Aren't you getting off?

Doesn't this go to Chang-jin Terminal?

You didn't know it's been relocated?

Please get off.

It's been a while since you worked here.

Why did you quit?

Because I got married.

Right, you're married.

Do you have kids?

No.

Do you plan to?

Maybe I shouldn't ask.

Anyway, the boss told me to help you

and take care of you.

He doesn't usually pay attention

to the workers.

But I guess he favours you, Hee-ju.

Not really.

I think it's because I called and asked.

Since you worked here before, you'll be fine.

You can start on Monday.

I'll introduce you to your colleagues.

Thank you.

- You're staying in our hostel? - Yes.

The secretary will show you to it.

The room is meant for two

but you have it all to yourself.

You know the basics.

You'll work in Line Two as before.

She used to work here five years ago.

Does anyone remember her?

We've been here less than five years.

Right. She knows the ropes around here.

Please help her out.

I'll work hard. Nice to meet you.

Welcome.

How about a big hand?

SAFETY AND QUALITY BEGIN WITH ME

Hee-ju?

It's you, right?

Hey, you're still here.

How have you been?

It's been too long.

What brings you here?

I came back to work.

Really?

Are you OK now?

I will be.

Good. That's the spirit.

But is it OK... for you to be here?

Why?

No, it's nothing.

Hee-ju, it's so nice to see you again.

This one, too? It's not broken.

Just throw it out.

Learn to let go.

Let's make a fresh start at our new place.

Why hang on to old stuff?

But we can't throw everything away.

- My little sister! - Hey.

You should've called us.

I know you're busy.

How have you been?

You're looking much better.

I'm embarrassed you had to see this mess.

Don't be.

It must be hectic getting ready to move.

There is so much to throw out

in this old house.

Where are your stuff?

Yeah, I left them at the hostel.

What hostel?

Why do you want to live there?

It's not so bad.

It's not as bad as you think.

Still...

You can stay here. Why go there?

She said she likes it there.

You're making her uncomfortable.

Honey, help me over here, will you?

So, where are my things?

In that box.

Hee-ju?

What should we do with this?

Psychiatrist

Hey!

Why are you so startled?

It's been a while.

Where did you come from?

My aunt's house.

You should've told me. Come on.

My café is down that way behind that building.

Not that far away.

Hee-ju!

Hey! Where are you going?

Nam-gil

The nurse asked me when you'll be here, Mum.

Which nurse?

The head nurse.

Is it about money?

No.

But the accountant was here too.

Next time, tell them to come when I'm here.

Take these and put them in the freezer.

Go on.

Bye.

You've been with us for over a year, correct?

Yes.

And he's been like that for two years.

Is something wrong?

Well...

any thoughts on moving to another hospital?

Why? Move him to where?

They are affiliated with our hospital.

It's nice and new there.

It's not as crowded as it is here.

Send him to a care home? What for?

I'm just suggesting you take care of him

in a more comfortable environment.

What about his treatments?

You mean we should just sit back

and wait for him to die?

And why isn't he getting medication?

Are you treating him at all?

You know very well

there's nothing we can do

but wait till he regains consciousness.

You should think long-term.

Young-nam.

Young-nam.

I'd like to quit.

What's this out of the blue?

Did you tell the boss I started working?

No, not yet.

Let's say I never started.

Why? Is something wrong?

Is everything OK?

It's not that...

Hi.

Please sit and wait for me.

Don't mind me. I'll wait.

What's wrong, Hee-ju?

You just started. Why would you quit?

Is the work too hard?

Is someone bothering you?

I'll tell you later.

Hee-ju?

Hee-ju?

Have you eaten?

You started here yesterday?

The work is hard, isn't it?

You'll get used to it soon.

Do you...

know me?

Pardon?

Do you know...

who I am?

I saw you back in the office.

Sorry.

I was just...

All right.

Bring out some liquor.

You already had a drink.

It's for Hee-ju.

You want a drink, don't you?

OK, fine.

Why aren't you eating?

I am.

Eat up.

It's our last time eating under the moonlight.

We can't once we move to the apartment.

Did you meet them?

Who?

The guy's family.

Why would I? It's all over.

Shouldn't I meet them?

Why would you want to?

Enough of this nonsense, just eat.

I should go and apologise for...

What for?

Why do you need to apologise?

We agreed to take full responsibility!

And the insurance paid them!

Your husband died, but at least he's alive.

We did everything we could.

So drop the nonsense!

Don't ever bring it up again! Got that?

Don't sleep here.

It's bad for business.

Why did you take off

at the pedestrian crossing?

Is it because of

the woman across the road?

Who is she?

The wife of the man my husband...

struck.

Did she threaten you?

I don't think she knows me.

I look ten years younger, don't I?

Looking great.

I told you Young-nam's good.

- She used to run a hair salon. - Really?

So, that's why.

Why did you move here then?

This hospital is bigger.

And my husband worked here.

So you moved here with your daughter?

You're lucky. You owe me one.

Hi. Yes, she's here.

Really?

Go quickly. It's an emergency.

Talk to you later.

Not much to eat, right?

We've met before. I...

work here.

Is there something...

you want from me?

No, not really.

You're Sun-woo's wife, right?

Wait.

Nam-gil is my husband.

Shouldn't you see a doctor?

I'm OK.

I'm the girl

who went to your house yesterday.

OK.

Why?

Are you home?

Why do you ask?

I left something at your house.

What did you leave behind? I'm not home now.

I'm outside your door.

Could you tell me the door code?

I'm sorry. I fell asleep.

How do you know my phone number?

The security guard told me.

Your phone number.

Wait.

Do you know who I am?

Yes.

Who?

You work at the factory with my mum.

I saw you in the cafeteria.

My mum works there.

Do you know my mum?

No.

Found what you came for?

I think I lost it.

What is it?

Miss, do you...

have any food?

Thank you very much.

Did you tell your mum?

About what?

That you're here.

She's too busy to care.

Is this your hometown?

No, we moved here.

Why?

For my dad's treatments.

Want some rice?

Miss?

May I ask you for a favour?

Done with the insurance company?

Not yet.

They are checking on something.

Why? Is there a problem?

I'm not sure what it is.

You called me to ask about that?

It's almost lunch time.

Our office folks all chipped in.

We're all very worried.

All of a sudden? Since when?

You know I'm worried about him.

Are you?

That's why I made sure you can work here.

Please know that this is not from the company.

It's a gift from the workers here.

Why didn't you show that you cared before?

New Driver

It's OK. I'll do it.

I got it. No problem.

But don't you need this car?

No, we don't. It's yours. Take it.

We have the shop van.

- I should've washed it. - No, it's OK.

- I'll get going then. - OK.

Bye.

Are you sure you're OK to drive?

Please don't tell my brother.

I won't.

I know he won't like you driving.

He's over-protective.

He's worried for a reason.

He stays up late worrying about you.

I know.

No, you don't.

I think I do.

Then you wouldn't say that.

Did you wait long?

No.

Do you know the way?

I will once we are nearer.

Want some candy?

No, it's OK.

But it's good.

You said you knew the way.

It has to be here.

Hee-ju

did you see a leaning tree on the way?

Why would I?

There are trees everywhere.

But that one is unique.

We passed it. We have to go back a bit.

Are you... crying?

This is the spot...

where my dad met with the car accident.

Actually...

it wasn't an accident.

My dad had wanted to die.

He caused the accident to kill himself.

Come on! Hurry!

Grab his legs.

One, two, three!

Where were you?

Thank you...

How could she leave him like that?

Hee-ju?

Hee-ju.

Wait!

Listen.

Do you know who he is?

That man...

killed my husband.

- Pardon? - Please re-investigate the incident.

- There's been a mistake. - What mistake?

My husband didn't cause the incident.

The investigation into that accident is closed.

It's an incident, not an accident.

The other guy crossed the centre line

not my husband.

We don't make conclusions on a whim, ma'am.

It's done thoroughly and scientifically.

But it's the wrong conclusion!

Look here.

This is your car. And this is the other car.

They were in opposite lanes.

They came in like this

and your husband's car crossed the line

and hit this car.

He didn't cross the centre line.

Please listen.

The car swerved 40° and stopped here

while this car stopped by the guardrail.

How do we know?

By their locations after the impact.

These are undeniable facts.

We saw it and so did the family members.

We can tell how the cars came to a stop

through simulations.

We know how the cars moved

to end up at these locations.

You didn't say anything back then.

So why raise questions now?

I'm back.

What are you doing?

Decluttering.

Heat up the soup for your dinner.

Why are you throwing out Dad's clothes?

I'm not.

Then what are you doing?

I'm giving them to a friend's son

to wear in the winter.

Why are you giving Dad's clothes away?

What will he wear?

He can't wear them now.

I'll buy him new clothes later.

What's with you?

Tell them to buy their own clothes!

Why take someone else's? Are they bums?

Don't say that.

Fine. I won't give it to them.

Don't shove them in like that!

What did the doctor say?

About what?

What did he say about Dad?

He said he was getting better.

He wanted us to be patient.

You're lying, right?

He's not getting any better.

How do you know?

Don't worry. He'll get well soon.

He wasn't well before.

Mum...

Aren't you curious...

why he drove that day?

What about it?

Isn't it weird?

What's weird about him driving?

It's not weird at all.

Go to your room. And stop bothering me.

No surveillance cameras.

No dashboard cameras either.

She's over there.

Call me at this number.

And please don't go to the chief.

Follow me.

OK, your husband's car came from that way.

Then it...

What's that?

Darn.

- It's a deer. - It's a fawn.

Who do we call?

County office?

Tell them to remove it.

How about telling the herbal clinic?

OK, good idea.

And ask for some antler extract for it.

There.

He crossed the line and hit the other car.

Right here.

Sir.

It's not here, but down there.

No, I'm right.

Did you take the pictures properly?

Look here.

It can't be. It came this way.

Gee.

Yes. The car stopped here.

The first collision was there.

Then it skidded about six metres

and stopped beside the guardrail.

The report said that his car hit the guardrail.

Why did you leave that out?

It was written

prior to the full investigation.

If you look at the final report...

The first witness should know.

The final report was rewritten, wasn't it?

No, it was not. How can you say that?

If not

why in the world would the witness say

the car crashed into the guardrail?

We checked several times

but there was no proof that it happened.

What proof?

If you look at the final report...

it's all written here.

This was rewritten.

Explain to me why it's changed.

I already did.

Get the car.

You're saying they have the wrong culprit?

Look here. Take a look at the first report.

It said the other car hit the guardrail

and stopped.

What does that change?

If the car hit the guardrail

the simulation that they speak of is wrong.

The car that crossed the centre line changes.

Why would Nam-gil cross the centre line?

Well, why would my husband do it?

Why did you come here?

The boss told me to.

I shouldn't be here?

Hee-ju, they're suffering too.

Must you do this?

He killed an innocent man

but he's alive.

You pity them?

This won't bring the dead back.

The case is closed.

Must you do this to a dying man?

Why do you take their side?

This is none of your business.

Please stop meddling.

This is part of my job. We're all family.

They're not my family.

I'll go back to work. I'm not running away.

Did you know there's no toxicology report

for your husband?

I heard they couldn't check

because his blood had clotted.

How about for the other guy? He didn't die.

I heard they agreed

not to do it out of fairness.

Really?

I see.

There are some suspicious areas in the report.

Why did you admit

full responsibility right away?

Why didn't you ask for a reinvestigation?

I wasn't here. My brother took care of it.

It's been so long

it'll be hard to prove.

You claim it wasn't an accident, right?

He caused it on purpose.

To kill himself?

That's even harder to prove.

Suicides are hard to prove with data alone.

It would help if there is proof of him

buying insurance right before the accident.

We need to show what his motives

and circumstances were.

What makes you think

he caused the crash on purpose?

I heard it.

From whom?

Someone close to the other family?

I can't tell you.

OK, I understand.

I'll check on the insurance

and highway management.

Let's give it a shot.

- What are you up to? - What?

Digging up the past won't do you any good.

It's not the past.

Hee-ju!

When will you stop?

Just be normal and move on!

You're saying I'm not normal?

You got yourself a lawyer?

I'm going to fire him now.

No!

- Stop it! - Let go.

Don't!

- Let go. - Stop it!

- Please! - Let go!

Let me go.

Why do you get to decide?

Stop acting like my parent!

Stay out of this.

It's my life, I know what I'm doing.

Fine.

Fine, Hee-ju. Open the door.

Open the door! Hee-ju!

You can't move him like that!

Move!

He hurt his head.

Accident-free for 1,000 days!

Young-nam.

Why are you avoiding me?

We're not enemies.

I have nothing to say to you.

I'm worried.

I'm just wondering if Nam-gil is doing OK.

How could he be?

Young-nam.

I had no idea.

I should've taken care of him.

- I'm sorry. - Why should you be sorry?

No one did anything wrong.

Don't say that to me.

Nam-gil will wake up.

He's not one to die and leave his family.

I know that well.

How can you be so sure

when I'm not?

Forget about us

and take care of your own family.

And please stop doing that.

No one will pay you any attention.

Ma'am. You don't have to.

Please have some. They're really good.

I have to go soon.

Save them for your daughter.

And, here.

It's medicinal antler extract.

You didn't have to.

Please stop bringing stuff like this.

It's not for him. I brought it for you.

I've seen many caregivers fall sick

from taking care of patients.

Thank you.

I still feel terrible about it.

What if Nam-gil ended up like this

because we didn't

handle the situation fast enough?

I don't think that at all.

Please don't feel that way.

Anyway...

he looks much better.

He's the same.

No.

You may not notice, seeing him every day.

He looks way better than the last time.

I believe he's resting like this to recover.

Ma'am?

By the way...

the other man's wife came by

a few days ago.

For what?

Her odd claims are giving us a headache.

What did she say?

Well...

Man...

Why did you pretend you didn't know me?

You know who I am.

Why did you do that?

I now know how you feel.

You know how I feel?

You're hiding something.

You hoped things would wrap up quietly.

Like it's all over.

Am I wrong?

I'm not here to pick a fight with you.

I'm tired enough as it is.

Did it ever occur to you

that maybe it's better to die?

Well, you have to

be alive to think that.

We're finally starting to move on.

Why bring it all up again?

What did you hear?

I...

don't have anything against you, Hee-ju.

Doesn't matter who the victim is.

It's all meaningless to us.

One died

and the other is as good as dead.

Why is it meaningless? A man was murdered

but you say we're both victims?

You can't say that.

Hee-ju.

If you think that...

I really pity you.

If you're innocent

you wouldn't come to see me.

You would be thinking

I'm a crazy broad who's talking nonsense.

Are you scared?

You don't know anything.

Does your brother know you're doing this?

It's got nothing to do with him!

Didn't he tell you?

What do you mean?

You should've asked him before poking around.

Ask him what he did.

Where's the blood test?

What do you mean?

They must've done a toxicology test!

I told you. His blood was clotted.

Tell me the real reason

why it was left out of the investigation.

Your lawyer told you?

The other man's wife told me.

What was the result?

Tell me!

Don't lie and tell me the truth.

I don't know.

Tell me!

His blood alcohol level was slightly elevated.

That's not what caused the accident.

It was a mistake.

The blood test d-doesn't matter.

Hee-ju...

- Was it for the money? - What?

Is that why you agreed to

sweep it all under the carpet?

You wanted to move to an apartment

with my insurance money?

Hee-ju!

So-eun.

- What are you doing? - Stop.

- How can you say that? - So-eun...

Psychiatrist

I can't.

Why not?

I can't show it to anyone but the patient.

But I'm his wife.

If you need it, please bring his consent form.

What's this?

His death certificate.

I'm sorry, but I still can't.

He's still my patient.

I can't show his medical records to anyone.

But I'm his wife.

So what?

It's just a natural reflex.

Why? How is that a natural reflex?

Eun-young

the doctor had explained to you before.

He's not doing things consciously.

How long has it been?

Doctor, I'm sorry, but...

please just prescribe the medication.

There's nothing wrong with your ears.

If you rest and eat well...

But the ringing won't stop.

I've seen cases where it's psychological.

I've seen it happen before.

I can refer you to a psychiatrist...

if you like.

I don't need one.

The rice is good. Not soggy.

Why did you go there?

Where?

Why would you go to the accident site?

I just happened to pass by.

Then why did you talk to the police?

Is there... still something left?

Why are you asking me?

It was a car accident.

You two deal with it.

Don't drag innocent folks into it.

Innocent folks?

Even dogs deserve to eat in peace.

Come on now.

But he was treated worse than a dog!

Isn't this that guy?

That cafeteria woman's husband?

Forget about it.

Don't get sucked into the mess.

I'm just curious.

Thank you.

Do you work here?

Yes.

I have a question.

Where's Dad?

I said, where's Dad?

Getting examined.

Let's go eat.

This happened.

An old latch on some steel pipes broke

and we got crushed.

The boss was nice

and seemed to care at first.

We were dispatch workers.

The firm that arranged for us to work there

closed down and conveniently disappeared.

Then the company's attitude changed.

They said to take it up with the dispatch company

even though we got hurt here.

They said to chase them down

and get compensation from them.

I've been protesting like this since then.

All by yourself?

I was lucky and only lost an arm.

But Nam-gil...

was very badly hurt.

He couldn't even walk well.

His back was injured badly.

All he could do was lie in bed

and stare at the ceiling all day.

When I visited him

his eyes were vacant and distant.

Still, I should have...

visited him and talked with him more.

Why did he take the car out that day?

Aren't you eating?

Mum.

Hurry up. Your dad will be done soon.

There's something... I didn't tell you.

What now?

When Dad was bed-ridden at home...

I came back from school one day

to find the house a mess

with broken dishes and

stuff all over the floor.

I got scared and ran to Dad's room.

But Dad was...

just sleeping.

What are you talking about?

He was trembling under his blanket.

So I went up and lifted the blanket.

Dad was holding a knife.

He was trembling.

We're done eating.

Dad left in the car that day to kill himself.

I should've told you. Then maybe he...

I'm sorry, Mum.

That's not true.

You are mistaken.

You don't know why he left, Eun-young.

Nobody knows.

We have to tell Hee-ju.

What?

Because of me

an innocent lady is suffering.

Eun-young.

Look at me. Stop crying.

How do you know that woman?

Tell me!

I went to her house.

Why would you go there?

Did you tell her?

You told her?

Did you?

Eun-young.

Eun-young!

Accident-free for 1,000 days!

Hee-ju?

What are you doing here?

Have you been drinking?

Why did you hide it?

Hide what?

Hide the fact that Nam-gil

got injured here and became disabled.

Why didn't you tell me?

You're drunk. Get in. I'll drive you home.

Why would... a man in his state drive?

Why would he

endure the pain and drive out there?

Nobody knows.

You should know. I heard everything.

He had wanted to die.

Who said that?

Are you feeling guilty?

A man died because of your company!

Why try to take someone innocent with him?

Let's talk when you're sober.

I'll explain everything.

Explain what?

You're an accomplice.

Everyone here is at fault!

Industrial Accident

The owner must take responsibility!

A young woman left that.

Hee-ju.

I'm sorry.

Bye.

I'm sorry, Hee-ju.

- I'm really sorry. - Stop it!

He was with me that day.

Your husband and I drank together.

I should've stopped him.

I shouldn't have let him drive.

I'm so sorry, Hee-ju. I'll...

spend the rest of my life making it up to you.

So...

let's just drop this.

Don't re-investigate the case.

Please, Hee-ju?

What are you saying?

You've got it all wrong.

My husband...

didn't cause the accident.

He's the victim.

Even though you drank with him

even though he got behind the wheel

he wasn't the one who crossed the centre line!

If you say otherwise

don't come to me again.

Hee-ju, are you OK?

Who said you could come in here?

I'm sorry.

I had to tell you something.

I'm done talking with you.

Your parents are at fault.

That day...

There's something I didn't tell you.

I knew...

who you were.

You knew everything?

I went to...

your husband's funeral with Mum.

I saw you in the toilet.

What did you see?

I saw you...

slapping yourself so hard.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

I'll take any punishment willingly.

How are you going to do that?

Get out.

Get out!

Leave!

Get out of here!

Go!

Get out!

Hi, it's Eun-young's mum.

Is my daughter there?

I see.

Ma'am?

Don't worry.

We've seen plenty of kids run away from home

because school got too stressful.

We'll find her.

Please wait at the hospital.

Ma'am?

Hold on.

I'm sorry to bring this up now

but they've asked for a reinvestigation

through their lawyer.

Forensics will come to re-investigate.

I thought you should know.

What happens then?

No big deal. It's just a hassle.

What if something new comes up?

I doubt it.

What if something changes?

Please calm down.

We closed the case

after a thorough investigation.

I just thought you should know. Don't worry.

First, let's find Eun-young.

OK?

I checked with the highway management.

The guardrail damage

was not related to this case.

There is evidence that it was damaged

before the accident.

There's nothing suspicious

with his insurance either.

He didn't have much insurance at all.

We can't say he caused the accident

for insurance money.

We'll wait for forensics, but...

Hello? Are you listening?

Do you still want to proceed?

Here's what you asked for.

Please pay for this in cash.

There's something I must tell you.

Let's talk at work. Not now.

I've quit.

I'll just say this and go.

Nam-gil came to the factory

on the day of the incident.

Please stop.

You have to hear this.

He attacked the boss with a knife.

The boss fought him off and called the police.

Nam-gil asked to be let go.

I walked him to his car

and told him to see a doctor.

I said we wouldn't report him

and that he should get treated.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have let him go like that.

I should've kept him there.

So what?

What does that have to do with the accident?

He grabbed me

and asked me...

if the company would finally acknowledge him

if he died.

He asked

if we'd say it was our employee who died.

I had no idea he'd do that. It's my fault.

This is my severance pay.

Use it for his hospital fees.

Don't you pretend to be kind now.

Don't inflict this on me

just so you'd feel less guilty!

Get out!

So-eun.

Here's your insurance money.

We don't need it, so take it.

So-eun, please don't do this.

We never asked for this money.

We only took it because you said

you couldn't spend it.

Don't treat us like we're bums.

We don't need the apartment.

- Take it. - I can't!

Take it.

So-eun, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

You ever wonder why your brother

drank with your husband that day?

We knew that

you filed for divorce.

You know what we found

in the wreckage of his car?

What?

Tell me.

In the mangled car boot

we found bottles of sleeping pills.

So many bottles.

Your brother worked hard to hide them.

Don't ever call us again.

We're not family anymore.

Medical Record

Patient: Choi Sun-woo (33)

Patient suffers from depression

which is exacerbated by

his strained relationship with his wife.

Is Eun-young here... by chance?

Want to come in?

What did you say to Eun-young?

Eun-young knew everything

your husband did.

That's her opinion. It's not a fact.

Can your husband wake up?

How convenient for him.

He doesn't even know what he did.

Don't jump to conclusions

when you don't know anything.

Stop feigning ignorance.

What did you do

while your husband thought of suicide?

You did nothing.

You knew everything

but you pretended not to!

You did!

You only thought of yourself!

He'll wake up!

And he'll explain everything that happened.

He's awake.

Why would you take this road?

It's the only way.
