(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)

Let's meet in my office right now.

(Automatic Control Panel)

- What? - What is this?

Gosh.

Ms. Doh.

Ms. Doh. Are you inside?

Ms. Doh. Are you all right?

Oh, no.

I must call 911 now.

I must...

Oh, no.

Who's there?

What are you doing?

Don't get the wrong idea.

By the time I got here, she was already like this.

We must call 911 first.

Is she dead?

Oh, no.

Don't make a fuss now.

Hello. Is this 911?

There is a woman passed out on the floor.

I'm at...

HSC...

Jeju International School.

(Rescue Squad)

Well done.

What the... How...

Who will be accompanying us?

Is her family or guardian here?

(I will come with you.)

(Please make sure there's no more problem with the event.)

(- Okay? - Okay.)

(Rescue Squad)

(Rescue Squad)

Why were you in her office?

I got a text message from her that she wanted to see me.

And when I got there, she was already on the floor.

Then why were you there?

I saw you walk away through the window in the infirmary.

- That's why I followed you. - Why?

Are you satisfied that you ruined Jae In's chance to perform?

Now that you feel like you one-upped me, are you happy?

There must be some kind of misunderstanding.

But It wasn't me.

Do you expect me to believe that?

You gathered the members of the PTA and are resolute to kick me out.

Ms. Nam told me everything.

Who else would want me gone here other than you?

As the legal consultant of the school,

isn't letting this vulgar scandal...

mar our school's reputation neglecting your duty?

So it's been decided...

that she won't be able to stay on stage for the festival.

Why are you telling me this?

They say an enemy's enemy is my friend.

We can't be friends,

but I think we can at least be allies.

You don't want to see that kid in the same class anymore.

Do you?

What do you think? I can come up with a cause.

I don't want to take advantage of my position...

as the legal consultant to further my personal agenda.

And the school can't take action against a rumor...

that hasn't been confirmed.

Then does it mean you don't care even when people gossip...

about you and your husband?

That's not the only rumor about me.

I decided not to partake in it.

Stop blaming me and acting up.

Act up?

That's enough. For all we know, she could be in critical condition.

Let's talk later.

- Well done. - Okay.

You did so well.

- Why are you all still here? - Ms. Nam.

An ambulance was at our school earlier.

Someone must've gotten hurt.

Find out what happened.

Where is she?

(Episode 8)

It's gone.

What are you doing here?

I came to get something.

Get what? Didn't you hear of her accident?

I'm only here because I must get something back.

What are you doing here yourself?

I found the chairman.

I came to see if I'd missed anything.

Are you saying you suspect me?

You left the corridor before I did.

So that's why you said what you did.

"Be careful of the one closest to you in an unfamiliar place."

You were talking about yourself.

I believed you were a good teacher.

Let's say I get what you did to me.

But to Yi Chan and the other students.

Didn't you feel guilty?

Even if you're a lowlife and a fraud,

the kids here believed you're a teacher.

Didn't that bother your conscience...

one little bit?

Well, about that...

I do feel bad.

I'm warning you.

Don't show yourself around me or my son again.

It would be best if you just disappear.

(Chairman Doh Jin Sol)

Let's meet in my office right now.

I'd love to know myself.

Let's discuss this matter after the event tomorrow.

We will have a lot to talk about.

It was not an accident.

Congratulations, Jun Hee.

- You did perfect today. - Thank you, Mom.

Your performances moved me today.

You've managed it so well when there's a blackout.

You did well too, honey.

Helping Jun Hee practice.

How about...

a family toast? It has been a while.

Why make a stupid fuss over a kids' recital?

Jun Mo.

As her older brother, you should congratulate her.

Congratulations, Grumpy Pig.

How does it feel to get center stage all thanks to Mom?

No!

Jae In dropped out because she was sick!

Lee Jun Mo, stop it.

The girl you were going to perform with...

got sick and dropped out?

Dad.

The truth is, she...

Chairman Doh is dead.

She was found on the floor in her office,

but she was already dead when they reached the hospital.

The police are checking her body.

The first caller was Song Yeo Wool.

Okay.

The problem is... Ms. Nam.

When you were in Ms. Doh's office yesterday,

Ms. Song was standing outside.

I'll make sure that...

you are not questioned by the police.

Okay.

Keep checking the police's movements...

and report to me.

(Emergency Care Center)

The cause of death is acute cardiac arrest.

Even if CPR was administered,

she'd have been dead by the time she got here.

According to the person who rode here with her,

she had an existing heart condition.

Were there any external injuries?

No.

Last night, Ms. Song our lawyer...

found the chairman on the floor.

She was rushed to hospital,

but she had already died by then.

Police will come to carry out an investigation.

It's just a formality,

so none of you teachers have anything to worry about.

How did Ms. Doh end up like that?

It was acute cardiac arrest.

She hadn't been very well,

and her heart must've suddenly given out.

The board will select a new chairman soon,

but for the time being, Mr. Commer and I...

will fill in for her.

(So, I'm looking forward to working with you, Mr. Commer.)

(It would be my honor.)

This unexpected happening will cause unrest...

among the students and parents.

That's all for now.

Why did she have to die in her office?

It'll cause some turbulence for a while.

It has nothing to do with us.

Does it?

I guess not.

You haven't been here for long, so you won't know,

but it's a bit nasty here.

- Why? - They're on an island at the tip...

of a small country, speak English, and think they're royals.

It's a sitcom if I've ever seen one.

It's so funny.

They're like frogs in a pond.

Some of the teachers here openly look down on Koreans...

and don't care for the kids at all.

No one knows if they're real teachers or what they did...

before ending up here. It's a mess.

Well, I don't think I'm too different from them.

Then why did you come here all the way from Canada?

I was told of a job,

so I came to make some money and do some traveling.

I had a few reasons.

I didn't plan to stay long.

Teachers quit this place all the time.

How long were you going to stay?

- This is my last day. - What?

(Are you kidding me?)

- Are you okay? - Yes. I'm fine.

You must work out.

When shall we eat together?

Oh, that. We should one day.

(The police will be here really soon.)

(And I want you to deal with them...)

(as our legal representative.)

(So you mean I am the legal representative.)

(Right.)

(It's our first time dealing with a police investigation.)

(And they might want to talk to everyone.)

(Even if it's just a formality.)

(And the principal is also very embarrassed as well.)

(Yes, he should be.)

(Oh, and please be discreet.)

(You know how sensitive the parents are.)

(For sure.)

(Do Not Enter, Under Investigation)

Let's see.

- Detective Choi. - Yes?

Get that glass.

Pack the glass.

Hey. Gloves.

Gloves, please.

What is this?

A bracelet?

Hey. Please pack this.

One more thing.

Don't lose that.

(Do Not Enter, Under Investigation)

Hello.

What is it?

Why are you here?

I'm this school's attorney, Song Yeo Wool.

The school's attorney?

You really are impressive, Ms. Song.

Wait. Song Yeo Wool.

You're the one who found her, right?

That's correct.

In that case,

will you come down to the station and give a statement?

Everyone else will do the same.

Let's go to my office.

Why did you go to the chairman's office at that hour?

During an event, at that.

She texted me asking to meet her there.

Take a look.

We'll have to check the call records.

We haven't found the victim's phone yet.

Why did she want to meet?

I don't know.

Did you know each other from before? Were you friends?

I first met her here.

I am a parent of a student here before I'm the school's attorney.

According to the foreigner who went in the ambulance with her,

she apparently had a heart problem.

Did you know that?

I had no idea.

This must be a great second life...

after the death of your husband.

You're sending your son to this expensive international school.

You live in a luxurious town house...

and you're the school's attorney.

What are you getting at?

It bothers me, that's all.

Why are you here?

Why were you the one who found the dead chairman...

of all people?

I went after I received her text.

The chairman was unconscious by the time I arrived.

The doctors said the cause of death was a heart attack.

Most importantly, I have no motive to kill her.

Is that right?

We'll see about that.

Cases always have sides you cannot see.

Was there anyone else there that day?

No.

Can you help me if I help you with the investigation?

Are you trying to make a deal? Using an investigation?

I'm saying let's help each other out.

What do you gain from it?

I can't tell you at the moment,

but there's something I need to find out.

I don't cut deals.

I'll be in touch if I need anything further.

Put the balls back.

Okay.

Good.

- Okay, sit down. - Yes, sir.

Let's sit.

- Is everyone sitting? - Yes!

We'll end today's class here.

Make sure you exercise hard every day...

and get along with each other.

Be healthy, okay?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Okay. You'll be fine without me, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

Are you going somewhere?

What? Well...

- Actually, I... - Are you going to Seoul too?

You may see my mom.

She goes to Seoul every week.

Why are you going to Seoul? When will you be back?

You stupid. Respect his privacy.

Have a nice trip.

Relieve some stress and have fun. Okay?

- Okay. - Have fun. Nice.

Play some games too.

- Okay, I will. - Yes. Games.

I want to go to Seoul too.

My mom goes every day.

No. Every week.

The USB drive.

I have to find that.

I figured you'd be here.

The police will be here soon.

They may contact you.

Don't say anything unless it's through me.

It'll only hurt you...

if you talk to the police now.

It was Chairman Jin Sol Doh.

She hired me to dig into you.

She said to find out...

what you knew about your husband.

So what did you find out?

That you knew nothing.

And his relationship with Hwang Na Yoon.

Chairman Doh hid the fact that they had an affair.

I didn't know. Regardless, it was my mistake.

Why are you telling me this?

My client died...

and our contract has been terminated.

So I have no reason to remain here.

And you can talk all you want.

Are you dumping the blame on a dead person?

I'm sure anything I say will sound like an excuse,

but I wanted to tell you.

I didn't know things would come to this.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize to me.

You simply did the job you were hired to do.

Whatever happens to me, it was your job.

You should leave.

I hope we never meet again.

I wanted to return this.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I found it on my way here.

Hi, Yi Chan. Good morning.

Hi, Teacher Danny.

Mom, he's Teacher Danny, our gym teacher.

An Yi Chan. In light of that, how about a cheer?

Put your hand on top of mine. Okay.

What are you doing?

- You should join us. - Yes, I should.

One, two, three.

- We can do it! - We can do it!

At least put this on your face.

If you don't treat it right away, it may scar and get infected.

It's okay.

Injuries are my specialty, so do as I say.

What... It's okay. I'll do it.

How can you trust people that easily?

You're a lawyer too.

He's right.

I'm so pathetic.

Oh my.

Someone died in the school and now the police came.

(What is going on?)

I know. I feel unsettled.

They have to go if someone is reported dead.

Even still. We went golfing together last week.

She took us out to a nice dinner...

because she shot under 82 for the first time.

How could she die out of the blue?

Hey. Did you hear?

That woman was the one who found the chairman.

That lawyer.

- Oh my gosh. Really? - Yes.

How? Why?

My point exactly.

And that begs the question.

- Do you think... - That's enough.

You heard that she had heart disease for a long time.

We shouldn't maliciously gossip about a deceased lady.

There will be a funeral.

So the school will release a statement soon.

And the PTA will be called regarding that matter too.

You're unusually quiet today.

What? It's nothing. I just...

- Oh, my. - Are you okay?

Is there something wrong?

You look pale.

I didn't get a good night's sleep last night.

So I'm a bit tired.

I'm sorry. Excuse me.

- Be careful. - Gosh.

What are you doing here?

You should have been more careful.

Let me see.

No. I'm fine. Don't mind me.

It's a minor cut.

- Are you sure you're okay? - Gosh. Stop it.

I'm not in the mood.

What's wrong?

I have plans. I must get going.

What is it? You bought flowers that weren't for me...

and have this mysterious meeting.

Are you having an affair?

It's been ages, hasn't it?

I'm looking forward to tonight.

All good.

The chairman of my school...

died during a school event.

Oh, no. Were you close to her?

No, not really.

It was a heart attack.

I think her funeral will be held in a church.

Have you met the chairman?

I don't think I have.

Oh, right. Are you available later tonight?

I have a nice bottle of champagne, cheese, and fresh ham.

No. I can't meet you tonight.

You should spend the night with someone else.

I'm sure you're busy with your meetings.

I don't have any meetings scheduled tonight.

Let's go back to what we've been doing.

I don't care whom you date.

Are you sure?

The other mothers are outside. I should go back.

Come on. Don't be like that.

Stop it.

Gosh. You'll come over later, right?

I'll think about it.

Right. My husband wasn't so happy that our sales aren't high...

compared to our expenditure in this quarter.

I'm not good with numbers.

You should take a look at them.

You consider yourself the owner.

[VIU Ver] tvN E08 'High Class' "A Trap" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Go ahead.

Tell me what you wanted to discuss regarding Ms. Doh's death.

A rumor about our late chairman...

is going around.

- Like what? - "Was it really a heart attack?"

"Maybe, her death wasn't natural."

On top of that, when people heard that you were the one who found her,

they are gossiping even more now.

I'm sure you know that rumor is absurd.

I don't care what you did that night.

The problem is the rumor, not the fact.

Not taking action to stop this hideous rumor from spreading...

would be an irresponsible thing for the school's legal consultant.

On top of that, this is the second malicious rumor...

that involves you.

What do you expect me to do?

I don't want there to be any other issues regarding her death...

after the funeral.

I especially don't want this rumor to leak outside our school.

Of course, not.

I ought to do that as the school's legal representative.

I'm glad that we're seeing eye to eye on this.

And if there's anything else I should be aware of...

to represent the school properly, please tell me now.

Things will get complicated if we get blindsided...

later on.

I have nothing to tell you then.

Let's meet in my office right now.

(Chairman Doh Jin Sol)

Wait. Calm down. Please listen.

Why? Listen to what?

Now that I'm going to the police, you think you've taken this too far?

(Let's meet in my office right now.)

(Delete the message)

(Chats)

This is Hwang Na Yoon.

I need to tell you something.

(We understand that our parents are frustrated...)

(and concerned by the certain news.)

(We'll all try out best to continue...)

(the smooth running of our school...)

(in the absence of the chairman.)

I'm aware that the recent event...

had caused a lot of our parents to worry.

This may seem like a sudden incident.

Actually, the chairman...

has been on medication for her heart disease...

for a long time.

The cause of her death is presumed to be an acute heart attack.

So please don't let this event...

disturb you in any way.

And please trust and support us.

Until the next chairman is appointed,

I'll make sure there won't be any problems...

with our academic schedule.

All right. Ms. Song.

I'm Lawyer Song Yeo Wool, the school's legal representative.

It has come to my attention that there are...

some malicious rumors regarding the chairman's death.

But don't pay attention to them.

And please follow the school's protocol.

We lost a very important individual who worked hard for our school.

Please cooperate to avoid...

bringing an awful scandal to our school.

And the school will seriously consider taking legal measures...

if need be.

What is this?

The police came to the school.

And I said that I was the only one in her office that night.

If they decide to question you, tell them you don't know anything.

Why must I do that?

Everyone is gossiping about you and me.

I don't want to encourage people to gossip about this incident.

So you should butt out now.

Is that what a legal representative is supposed to do?

You plot schemes, deceive people, and cover up the truth.

I did no such thing.

Don't lie to me.

Why did Ms. Doh want to see you that night?

Are you sure she was on the floor by the time you got there?

What are you insinuating?

Ji Yong...

and Ms. Doh are dead.

You were the last person to see them before they died.

Did you kill them?

- Did you... - Think whatever you want.

I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.

I came to say goodbye.

The funeral's today.

Why not come in?

The person up there...

doesn't like me very much.

I did way too many bad things.

Are you leaving?

- Yes. - Where to?

I'm not sure. People like me go to where the work is,

but for now, I should go back to where I'm from.

Where is that?

Mullae-dong 3-24,

PI Office Finding Experts.

Watch out for yourself and be well.

Yes, like you said, I'm a fake.

But it wasn't all fake.

How I felt about you and Yi Chan.

I'm sure you don't want to see me ever again,

but if you're looking for someone or you need help,

give me a call.

Goodbye.

We now say our farewell to Doh Jin Sol, Teresa.

But one day, we will meet again in the Lord...

and rejoice in happiness.

That is our comfort.

The farewells we say today...

is proof of our love,

will relieve the pain and give us hope.

Let us pray for the deceased.

Dear Lord,

we send Doh Jin Sol, Teresa to you.

Mercifully forgive the sins...

she committed as a human,

and allow her to spend the rest of eternity...

among the Saints in your kingdom.

Thank you, though it was just for a short while.

For the first time,

you made me feel like I was good.

Chairman Doh was like a big sister and friend.

She was a kind person.

The empty space she left behind...

feels even bigger...

and emptier right now.

Chairman Doh loved the school and students more than anything.

Not just the students,

but the parents who sent their kids here and the teachers...

will have felt her love.

Her informal, warm style...

made her a good friend to us all.

To HSC International School, she was a star...

that shines brightly in the night sky.

A thankful star...

that leads us...

on the right path.

Now that star has fallen.

(Lord, give everlasting rest.)

(Lord, give everlasting rest.)

I pray that Chairman Doh who left us suddenly...

is able to rest in peace and comfort.

We're all...

overcome with sadness over the loss.

But this tragedy holds...

too many unknowns to just bid her farewell.

I believe these suspicions...

must be solved in the police investigation.

For our school to become...

a safe place for the students,

as an expert in the legal field and a mother of a student,

I will do my best.

I believe that's what the deceased would want.

She has left us...

and is now forever with the Lord.

Will you help me?

I love you.

What are you doing?

- Mom. - Are you having fun?

Aren't you hungry?

I am. Can't we play at home now?

- Shall we? - Yes.

Yi Chan, I'll make you something tasty.

Do you want to play with Jae In at my place?

Yes.

- Let's go. - Let's go, then.

We are grieving a friend...

and we are in deep sorrow.

How dare you say that during a solemn ceremony?

But I thank the Lord...

I believe I told you.

- for sending her to us. - To tell me what else I must know.

I gave you more than enough time.

What?

That day, what you discussed in Ms. Doh's office.

I heard it all.

HSC International School...

You wanted to get rid of me and Jae In's mom and rule the roost,

but the chairman didn't give in.

Is that why you did it?

What are you talking about?

I know you're not just an investor in my husband's business.

You're involved with the foundation too.

You want to cover it up quietly,

but you won't get your way.

I'm going to expose everything.

You'll expose everything? How?

How much do you know about your husband?

You're way, way behind.

(Jeju Police)

What brings you here?

We're police.

The funeral's in progress. Wait until it's over.

It's urgent, so get out of our way.

Or you'll be charged with obstruction.

Step aside.

We're here on official business. Step aside!

Detective.

What brings you here so suddenly?

I said we'd cooperate with the investigation.

Ms. Song.

Regarding Doh Jin Sol's death that happened on school grounds,

I'm arresting you.

Come with us.

Where's Yi Chan?

Wait. I don't see Yi Chan.

Call the police station if you see him.

Please.

(Jeju Police)

This feels very familiar.

Don't you agree?

Stop reminiscing.

Tell me why you arrested me.

This is your bracelet, correct?

Ms. Doh. Are you inside?

Ms. Doh. Are you all right?

I must call 911 now.

Oh no.

Yes, it's mine.

I dropped it in the chairman's office that day.

This is the late Doh Jin Sol's nail.

Someone else's DNA was found under the nail.

And it matched the DNA on the bracelet.

In other words, it is your DNA.

Chairman Doh yanked at my arm that day.

- That's why... - Last time,

you said she was already unconscious when you arrived.

She was down.

Then she suddenly grabbed me and then she fainted again.

Why are you only telling me that now?

There were traces of a drug on the cup found at the scene.

Digoxin.

It's for treating heart disease and heart failure.

The victim had a heart problem,

so she had it prescribed.

A drug?

It is too suspicious to say she died from a heart attack.

Therefore, we ran an autopsy.

And the amount of digoxin found in the body...

was five times the regular dose.

It means the cause of death was not a heart attack.

Her heart stopped due to the drug. She was murdered.

In other words,

someone intentionally gave Doh Jin Sol...

the drugged liquor.

And after drinking it,

she died.

Let go.

So... Are you saying I killed her?

I didn't even know she was taking that medicine.

Well...

You received the text message from her...

at 6:10pm.

The time you called 911 from her office...

was 7:45pm.

Even with the blackout,

even if it took you a while to get from the auditorium to her office,

there's still over an hour that is unaccounted for.

What were you doing during that time?

Mr. Oh.

Wait. Calm down. Please listen.

Why? Listen to what?

Now that I'm going to the police, you think you've taken this too far?

What were you doing during that time?

Well...

Hwang Na Yoon already testified...

that you are lying.

What do you...

What did she say?

Why are you here?

I told the detective the truth.

I couldn't lie anymore.

That this bracelet was yours too.

So stop lying.

What are you talking about? What am I lying about?

The chairman wasn't unconscious when you got there.

I heard you two fight.

You've lost your mind. What nonsense are you...

- She's lying. - Calm down.

Why are you doing this to me?

Tell me why.

First, him. Now, the chairman.

Am I next?

What?

It's not too late.

Tell this detective...

the whole truth.

That's right. I'll keep Yi Chan with me.

We'll be fine without you,

so don't worry.

Why would you take my kid? No.

We can't let him go in and out of the police station.

He already had bad memories.

Come back once you've served your time.

Don't do this. Please. Not Yi Chan.

Please leave.

If you lay a finger on Yi Chan, I'll kill you.

Just wait.

I'll get you for this once I get out.

(Police Station)

Were you waiting long?

Should we go home now?

Okay.

But when will my mom come home?

Your mom?

I'm not sure. I don't know either.

Let's go.

(Police Station)

(Police Station)

You're only hurting yourself by dragging this out.

We'll get a search warrant soon and we'll search your house.

Let me make a phone call.

Goodbye, Jeju Island.

(Garbage)

(Song Yeo Wool)

(Song Yeo Wool)

Hello?

What?

The police are searching her house today.

Are they looking for something?

They obtained evidence pointing to drug-induced homicide,

so she may be found guilty.

A drug?

The drug found in the body can't be obtained...

without a prescription.

Get me another bottle.

You've drunk a lot already.

Don't make me repeat myself.

It's not like you'll drink with me.

(Director Lee Jung Woo)

(Director Lee Jung Woo)

Him again?

He's my legal representative.

Would you please give us some privacy?

We need to discuss something.

What's going on? What are you doing here?

Mr. Oh. Listen to me.

I'm going to ask you to help me with another case.

What? What are you talking about?

I must get out of here.

I need to take Yi Chan from her.

But you're the only one who would help me here.

So please take my case.

But in return, I'll make sure that no one finds out...

who you really are.

Getting mixed up in Ms. Doh's death...

won't be good for you either.

What do I need to do first?

Does that mean you're taking my case?

Yes. I'll give you a ten-percent discount...

since this is the second case you asked for my help with.

So what do I need to do first,

Client Song Yeo Wool?

Yi Chan.

Why are you out here?

- Aunt. - Yes.

When is my mom coming back?

Is she coming back tomorrow?

I'm not sure.

Why don't we go to bed tonight? We can wait for her tomorrow.

It's way past your bedtime.

Aunt, can't you make up with my mom now?

- What? - I know you guys had a fight.

After you guys had a fight, she had to go to the police station.

Isn't that why she's at the police station again?

No, that's not why.

Then why? Is it because of me?

No.

It's neither my nor your fault.

She just has to answer some questions.

And if she doesn't come back,

you can live with us here.

I want to live with my mom.

Okay. Let's go back inside.

I'll tuck you in.

He must be asleep by now.

Gosh. Yi Chan.

Gosh. Yi Chan.

(High Class)

The drug found in the body can't be obtained...

without a prescription.

We found your fingerprint.

I didn't kill her.

You said you never met Ms. Doh.

I went to your house with a search and seizure warrant.

And I found something interesting.

It seems to me you haven't let go of your husband's incident.

You want me to register my husband's death?

On the day of the incident, Mr. An asked me to give this to you.

Don't listen to him.

I have a bad feeling about this guy.

It's time to accept your husband's death...

and move on.
