All language subtitles for Melancholia E09

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATION
AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

I want to see the CCTV footage
inside of the library on September 14th

from 4:20 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Give us a minute.

It's me. Ji Yoon-su.

Can we meet right now?

Yoon-su.

It's been a long time.

How have you been?

Were you following me?

Yes.

Sorry I had to follow you.

Surprised, right?

Can we talk for a minute?

I don't have anything to say.

I do.

Yoon-su, wait.

I…

She says she doesn't have anything to say.

You came to see him?

Have you been talking to him?

Since when?

Recently? Or for a while?

What are you trying to do?

Go inside.

Go inside first.

What do you need to say?

I forgot.

I totally forgot what I was about to say.

What are you thinking?

How could you be with him?

Do I have to explain myself?

Do I have to explain why I'm asking?

Did you forget what he did to your life?

What about my life?

Anyway, none of that
matters to you anymore.

I don't know how you found me,

but don't follow me

or do any background checks.

Don't you…

have any shame?

I see you for the first time in four years
and this is what I see. Unbelievable!

You're not even explaining yourself.

I know it's none of my business.

But you'll need to be careful how you act.

If you had been careful back then,
none of this would've happened.

Are you okay?

I saw Shi-an…

give her presentation.

What did the school decide to do?

No decision has been made yet.

Shi-an and Ji-na are accusing each other
of plagiarizing their speech.

We're looking into
who's telling the truth.

Do you know
when Ji-na lent her laptop to Shi-an?

On the 14th. A Tuesday.

Shi-an showed me her draft
a day before it was due.

Don't worry too much.
I'll straighten this out.

How will you?

Do you have a plan?

If you don't have one,
I'll fix this my way.

-Your way?
-Don't tell Shi-an that we met.

Can't you tell me what your plan is
and what you intend to do?

I'll handle this.

You don't trust me?

Why should I trust you?

You scared me.

What is it, Ji-na?

-Where should I stab you?
-What?

When someone gets
on your nerves, you stab them, right?

I'm going to do the same.

You're insane.

-Are you afraid of me?
-Yes, you frighten me.

That's not right.

You should be thanking me.

The other kids don't see you
as competition and look down on you.

But I, at least,
consider you as competition.

Aren't you grateful?

Don't get on my nerves, okay?

Are you really protecting
the reputation and dignity of this school?

What?

I didn't steal the watch

nor the presentation.

Yes, Mr. Lim?

An orientation?

Yes, we'd like to interview her.

By the way,

our instructor rarely does this,
but she would like to meet you first.

I'd be happy to meet her.

How is lunch tomorrow?

Noon is fine.

I'll text you the name of the restaurant.

And I'm positively considering
the offer you made.

Then I think we should have
another discussion soon.

I'll be in touch.

Principal Noh Jung-ah. At noon.

This is the address.

Do I have to explain why I'm asking?

Did you forget what he did to your life?

You got off scot-free after that scandal

because you were a minor.

Not because
you were a hotshot mathematician.

If you keep this up with Yoon-su,
you'll get yourself in hot water.

Are you giving me advice?

No.

This is a warning.

Don't go anywhere near Yoon-su.

Just stay out of her life, please.

You're not her fiance.

Even when you were, you didn't
do anything. Now, you're nothing.

And…

I don't care what you say to me.

But don't say upsetting things to Yoon-su.

To Yoon-su?

It's the same with you too.

You weren't her boyfriend then

and neither are you now.

Well, like you said,
I was a minor back then.

But not anymore.

MYEONYEOK SAUNA

It's toasty in here. I love it.

Ye-lin, you're losing your complexion.

So sweat a lot here. Okay?

It's nice.

-Share some.
-No.

-Mom, just a minute.
-Okay.

Don't tell anyone I'm here.

-Get closer. My face looks bigger.
-No, it doesn't.

-So-jung and Hyung-do?
-Geez.

Oh my.

Hi, Ye-lin.

What's going on here? You two are dating?

You got us. We're in a relationship.

But Ye-lin, could you not tell the guys?

Yes, So-jung isn't ready to tell
the guys that we're dating.

-Please.
-Sure.

I finished moving.
Who's coming to my housewarming party?

Gyu-young has his own place.
He's inviting us to his place.

-Should we go?
-Of course, we should go.

Ye-lin, you're coming too, right?

-Should we also call Seung-yoo?
-Yes, call him.

-I should?
-Yes.

You have a new number, don't you?
Give me your digits.

I'll see you around.

Ye-lin, you're coming, right?

Come on. You should come.

Sure.

Welcome.

This way, please.

DIRECTOR LIM HYUNG-BIN

This way please.

I'm so sorry.

You came alone?

I just got a call from the instructor.

She couldn't make it here.

Choi Shi-an?

The instructor

-has her back?
-Yes.

I heard Shi-an was involved
in an unfortunate matter at school.

The instructor is upset
after she heard what happened.

What a coincidence.

We're looking into the matter.

It'd be great
if you could resolve it fairly.

If you personally take Shi-an's side,

then our instructor will be happy
to take on Ji-na as a new student.

Since we're here, shall we talk business?

Ms. Ji.

I brought you some snacks.

Gosh, thank you
for always bringing snacks.

You came right on time. Terrific timing.

Mr. Paik.

-What brings you here?
-I would like to ask you that.

Mr. Paik brought
these math puzzles for the kids.

And he's also teaching math.

Hey kids. Snack time.

Enjoy.

I'm doing volunteer work.

Did you get home without
any trouble yesterday?

-Shi-an, I'll get going.
-So soon?

I'll be back.

Why are you leaving so soon?

-Do I make it uncomfortable for you?
-Yes, very.

Let me be clear.

Go on and live your life.

Don't mind with what I do with mine.
Stop showing up at places I go to.

When I shut myself off from the world

and couldn't admit that
I still liked math,

you changed me.

I'd like to do what you did for me.

I almost forgot.
I have something for you. Just a minute.

I was going to give it to you
when I saw you again. And here you are.

Don't your feet kill you
when you wear high heels?

You used to wear
comfortable shoes, didn't you?

Take care.

Let's snack together, kids.

Don't eat them all. Leave some for me!

HUSBAND

Yes, Honey.

I'm on my way to the center.

Sure. Don't worry. Okay.

NO MEMORY

Sung Min-joon.

So you're having an affair.

A Math Museum?

Can you get it built
under Paik Seung-yoo's name?

I could do it.

It'll take a lot of work.

It's going to be a landmark
in my educational business.

A national math museum.

You always think big.

I'll talk to the Minister of Education
and get it off the ground.

Isn't Ryu Sung-jae his aide?

Yes. I see Sung-jae now and then.

When I play golf
with the minister, he comes along.

-Is he married?
-I don't think he is.

Because he can't forget Ji Yoon-su?

That was four years ago. Come on.

Let me see.
I'll set up an appointment now.

Can you reserve a group of three
at Western Cape Country Club?

-With who?
-Minister Shin

and Senator Sung Min-joon.

-I'll take care of it.
-Thanks.

Here are the first-choice colleges

picked by the students
in the global class.

Please form a relationship
with the admissions officer in advance.

There's something
I need to tell you first.

Go ahead.

Due the Ivy League college
admissions bribery scandal,

it has gotten harder
to bribe admissions officers.

So the commission fee will be quite high.

You don't have to worry about the fees.

There is also the matter
of how to send the money.

It'll have to be done secretly.

I'll explain to you
how we can move the money.

Just follow this method.

First, set up a foundation.

A non-profit organization
that helps needy students.

You mean a scholarship fund?

I'll make sure that the MOE
will approve your non-profit.

So just prepare the necessary papers.

NOH JUNG-AH 4

The non-profit will launder
the consulting fee payments.

The school parents will make donations.

That'll be used to bribe admissions
officers in the form of a donation.

-Good morning.
-Hi.

Mr. Paik, the principal
would like to see you.

-Yes, I was just about to…
-No,

alone.

Okay.

Is this about the open classroom incident?

Did you hear how it'll be taken care of?

The principal will make her decision.
So mind your own business.

How can I not care about it
when Mr. Paik is a teacher

in our math department?

If you care so much,

then why didn't you prevent this
from happening in the first place?

Is this my fault?
Did I cause this problem?

Hello? This is the Asung Academy
of Mathematics and Arts.

What?

Ji-na confessed to plagiarizing

Shi-an's speech and asked for forgiveness.

As her mother,

I'm very sorry this happened.

She got excited
about being involved in your project.

And her enthusiasm got out of hand.

Since the assignment wasn't going
to be included in their grades,

I hope you could forgive her.

I will drop Ji-na from my project.

The project involves
the next paper I'm preparing.

So I choose who will assist me on it.

If you disagree,

then I'll have to pursue

the math museum on my own.

I'll leave the school
and the students too.

I'm so shortsighted.

Yes, it's your decision to make. However…

To make amends, we'll use all our
resources to support your project.

We'll be establishing a math museum
launch committee this week. You've heard?

-Yes.
-We're counting on you, Mr. Paik.

We've got a serious problem.

I just got a call
from the Office of Education.

-Office of Education?
-Yes.

I think it's because of this.

ASUNG ACADEMY OF MATHEMATICS
AND ARTS BRIBERY ALLEGATIONS

CHO YOON-AH, YOUNGHAN DAILY REPORTER

EXCLUSIVE REPORT: ASUNG ACADEMY OF
MATHEMATICS AND ARTS BRIBERY ALLEGATIONS

JUNG-AH

-Hello?
-Hey! Why did you do this?

It's not me.

Think about it. Why would I talk to her?
That would look so obvious.

-Then who's behind this?
-You're asking me who did this?

SENATOR SUNG MIN-JOON

-Yes?
-I saw the article.

I just talked with someone
at the Office of Education.

What did they say?

They said they'll audit the academy.

Find out who'll be participating
in the audit and how many they'll send.

-Did you call for me?
-Sit down.

Kim Ji-na admitted to plagiarizing.
I dropped her from the project.

Really?

How did you do it?

You don't need to know.

Mr. Paik.

Thank you for taking my side.

I wasn't taking your side.

I checked the library CCTV
and took disciplinary action accordingly.

But I'm still grateful.
Because I feel like you believed me.

So you're kicked off the project
while Shi-an is staying on?

Did you really plagiarize her speech?

That damn girl. Shi-an.

Move it!

What's going on between you and Seung-yoo?

Why is he taking your side?

Don't call him by his first name.
It's Mr. Paik.

You don't show any respect or manners.

Don't lecture me.

-Hey.
-Shi-an.

Hey!

I know you don't like me,
but I don't cause trouble to anyone

and I surely didn't plagiarize
someone else's speech.

You saw what happens if you mess with me.

So watch out.

Allegedly, certain students
were given relatively easier questions

to answer in the admissions process
at Asung Academy.

There is evidence
supporting this allegation.

An audit?

What on earth is happening?

It'll be such a headache.

We'll have to hand over files
to the auditors.

Teachers involved in the admissions
process will have a tough time.

The officers will pepper them
with questions.

It'll be chaotic.

Director Han, didn't you also work
on the admissions process?

-What's it to you?
-Well…

It looks like you'll be busy.

Because you're talking about it
in whispered tones,

you're bringing down morale.

Don't let the audit affect you.
Just work as usual.

As usual!

Now, the Office of Education
will conduct a special audit.

However, the parents of the students
who were given special treatment

are high-ranking officials,
and this is creating an uproar.

-What happened?
-I resolved the matter involving Shi-an.

Principal Noh acknowledged rather easily
and admitted Ji-na lied.

How did you pull it off?

I want to know what you did first.

Are you the whistleblower?

I'm going to reveal all their wrongdoings.

Eventually, the truth behind the incident
four years ago will surface too.

-And who was behind it…
-You think you can uncover the truth?

If it were that easy,
why couldn't I do it?

Then tell me what you're trying to do.

Tell me now.
It's driving me crazy. I have to know.

I'm going to expose them.

Not what they did in the past,
but what they're currently doing.

I'm going to do to them
what they did to me.

Let's work together then.

I told you to go on living your life
and forget the past.

How can I forget what happened?

I haven't forgotten any of it.

The more I think about it,
the more helpless I feel.

Why didn't I do anything?

Why couldn't I protect you?

I'll do what has to be done.

I'll confront the people
who need to be dealt with.

I'm not working together with you.

In my plan, I didn't factor in
that you would return.

So you might ruin it.

-Welcome…
-Welcome…

I thought I told you not to come here.

I didn't want to come actually.

But my son likes the macarons you sell.

Please.

-How many?
-Twelve macarons. Please.

Mr. Paik Seung-yoo

is building a museum, you know.

A museum?

What kind of museum?

A National Math Museum.

-You've seen him?
-What?

-My son.
-Oh, yes.

I saw him.

He looked radiant.
Quite a young gentleman.

-Mr. Paik Min-shik.
-Yes, that'll be me.

Okay.

TO: PAIK MIN-SHIK

FROM: ASUNG ACADEMY
OF MATHEMATICS AND ARTS

Asung Academy of Mathematics and Arts.

What is it?

Honey, Seung-yoo sent…

Seung-yoo sent what?

He sent us his paper.

Look at this.

Hey, Dad.

That's not it.

Okay. I won't touch it.

Would you like to go outside?

Dad.

You played chess with Shi-an and had fun.

And you're chatty around Seung-yoo too.

But why are you so cold towards me?

Because I held a grudge against you?

You're right. I did.

You missed my middle school
and high school graduations.

You didn't even show up
on my first day of college.

You were always home

and busy working on the math proof.

Even when mom passed away.

Sorry, Dad. I don't know why I said that.

I don't feel resentful anymore.

You still work on problems every day.

So math is still fun?

What proof are you working on?

What are you working on?

Dad, I…

no longer solve math problems.

I used to like problems

that were unsolvable.

But I don't get excited anymore
when I see a problem.

It's no longer interesting.

I don't even have the urge to work on it.

I stopped

being a mathematician.

Everyone goes through that.

You stop getting excited over a problem.

It's not fun
and you don't want to tackle it.

That happens.

All mathematicians go through that.

A mathematician
who doesn't face such struggles

cannot go on and solve the next problem.

Will you come to Gyu-young's
housewarming party?

LEE HYUN-JAE

MS. JI YOON-SU

-That's cute.
-So-jung, you always look cute.

-Really?
-What the? Get out of the frame.

Could you guys stop it?

I'll show you pictures of us at the sauna.

-Need any help?
-That made me shudder.

-Hyung-do, I'm not your friend anymore.
-Okay. At last. Thanks a lot. Yes!

-Let me see.
-Here.

-You two are inseparable.
-If you're envious, find a girlfriend.

Here's the bread.

Hey, let's take a selfie together.

With you? No way.
Someone might get the wrong idea.

Wrong idea? Who is that someone?

It's Seung-yoo!

What took you so long?

Hey, come on. Hurry.

Since he's here, let's eat.

-Hi.
-Hey.

Sit with us.

How long have you been dating?

-About 30 days?
-About that long.

What attracted you to him?

-We finished this bottle already.
-Are you okay? You're drunk?

-No, I'm not drunk.
-Who am I?

I'll go to the store and buy some more.

Need anything else?

-You're going with her?
-Yes, why not?

-Wine and ice cream.
-I'll be back. Keep eating.

-Get back soon.
-Hurry.

Could you guys hurry?

Let me.

Let's sit on the bench for a minute.

Is it awkward to be around me?

What?

I'd like to get along with you.

-Get along? What do you mean by that?
-I'd like to be your friend.

And forget the past.

What past?

The photo taken at Jeju Airport.

You took it, right?

You were in Jeju, attending a symposium.

Then,

why would you want to be my friend?

Don't you hate me for it?

You had a crush on Ms. Ji.

-And she had to quit because--
-You probably had your reasons.

I don't think you did it
without a good reason.

Actually…

At the time…

Why are you crying?

Let's go.

Do you like Ye-lin now?

Does it matter to you?

No,

it doesn't.

Coming?

I have to make a call. Go ahead.

Gyu-young is having a housewarming party
and he invited me.

Why were you waiting in your car?

-You don't want to be around me?
-That's not the reason.

I don't want my plan to be ruined
by having my identity exposed. That's all.

-And you?
-How did you do this?

-Ye-lin and Seung-yoo bought this.
-Really?

Where is my brilliant friend, Seung-yoo?

He said he had to make a call.

Why did you leave first?

Who was Seung-yoo with a moment ago?

With whom?

I didn't see anyone.

What were you talking
about with Seung-yoo?

It's nothing.

I saw you crying.

Why would you cry if it's nothing?

It doesn't matter to you.

Gyu-young!

Didn't you tell me
that you saw Ms. Ji Yoon-su?

You saw her? Where?

-Sorry.
-My friend is back. Seung-yoo.

-Dig in.
-Okay.

You're single, right?
You want to go on a blind date?

There are a lot of girls
who would like to meet you.

-What about me?
-Wait. Me first.

Would you like to meet a few?

I like someone.

-Oh, my.
-Since when?

Without telling us? Who?

Someone.

I like her even more
after not seeing her for a long time.

What the?

Wait.

Do we also know her?

So you were reunited with her
after a long time passed?

It can't be…

Is it me?

Hey.

It's not you, okay?

I'm just kidding, man.
It was for the laughs.

Cute joke.

PAIK SEUNG-YOO

A 3-sphere?

A 3-sphere.

People might assume you wrote the paper.

Can you understand it
by looking up the terms?

I couldn't understand any of it.

During the audit,
Senior officer Shim Sang-wook

will be the person you'll want to talk to.

He especially likes this wine.

I'll make sure he gets this.

I have all the documents prepared.
We removed the original copies, of course.

Good job.

Give them all the documentation
they request.

It'll be best to cooperate with them.

All right.

-Thank you.
-Have a good day.

How is the approval coming along
for the non-profit foundation?

It'll be approved soon.

Have the foundation prepare
a small scholarship ceremony.

I've already chosen
a student to receive it.

Aren't you taking on too much work?

The museum project
itself is a big project.

Senator, you need to think big.

You'll become the majority leader
of the party soon.

And you have your sights
on the highest office in the nation.

See you.

After the audit is finished,
let's enjoy some wine too.

Oh my goodness.
Principal Noh with Senator Sung?

What is going on?

Why did she touch his jacket like that?

Yes, Mr. Lim?

Ji-na will have her orientation
at 6 p.m. today.

I'll make sure she won't be late.

And thanks to you
submitting the forms promptly,

the non-profit will be approved soon.

That's great.
You must be preoccupied with the audit.

Don't worry about that.
It's just a small matter.

Yes.

Bye.

Call Choi Shi-an to my office.

I haven't had this in a long time.

Tteokbokki is so good.

Your mom won't let you have it
because it'll make you fat, right?

-So enjoy.
-Sure.

-What's the situation like at school?
-It's not good because of the audit.

The teachers try not to show it,
but it's tense.

Your orientation is at 6 p.m.
Don't be late.

I have to go, Aunt.
Can you give me a ride to cram school?

-Thanks for the ride, Aunt.
-Sure. Do well.

Okay.

I've been meaning to see you.

But I was caught up
with so many things to do.

-Why me?
-You'll be awarded a scholarship.

It'll cover your school fees.

You're already on a full scholarship.
This is another one.

It's so sudden.

How long have you been
going to the math clinic?

How did you get to know the instructor?

I don't know…

That cram school is very exclusive

and it's difficult to get into
no matter how much money they offer.

I'm curious how someone
like you cozied up to the instructor.

You're not in any relationship, are you?

The instructor is a woman.

She's single

and doesn't have any kids.
So she showers you with attention?

If you're done speaking, I think I'll go.

She makes a crazy amount of money
but has no time to spend it.

To fill the void in her heart,
she chose you as her pet project.

Do you know this?

Students like you are a dime a dozen.

So?

So you can be dropped anytime.

Don't trust her too much
and don't act so cocky.

You have to leave
all your belongings outside.

You can only use this pen and notepad.

Why?

We don't allow taking videos, photos,
and voice recording.

Read this non-disclosure agreement.

After you're done reading it,
sign your name.

The instructor will be with you shortly.

This is really strict.

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

MUST NOT DISCLOSE TO A 3RD PARTY THAT
YOU ARE ATTENDING THIS MATH ACADEMY

MUST NOT LEND OR SHARE
MATH ACADEMY'S TEXTBOOKS

Hi there.

You look prettier in person.

I saw an interesting video
and you were in it.

A video?

How did you get this?

Are you a member of
the meditation clinic too?

Why did you show that to me?
What do you want?

Why would you ask that?

-Does it look like I'm threatening you?
-Then why are you doing this?

Don't be scared.

I'm not a scary person.

I want to know why a pretty girl like you,
who is no different

from other teenage girls,
would behave this way.

Could you open up
about your problems to me?

In return,
I'll keep this a secret forever.

Even from my mom?

Of course.

We're prepared for the audit.

What should we do
about the original copies?

Have them destroyed.

Yes, ma'am.

Are you busy?

-I have time.
-How did it go with Ji-na?

She's smart and learns quickly.

Surprisingly, she has a soft side.

She's Principal Noh's daughter.
Please pay special attention to her.

I will.

Do you have time for dinner?

I'd like to discuss something with you.

Sure.

I'm going to find out what I can
about reporter Cho Yoon-ah.

Unless she had hard evidence,

the Office of Education
wouldn't have taken such quick action.

I'm not sure about Paik Seung-yoo.

We should get rid of him
after we get what we want.

You're going to the event, right?

Of course. It's the first
official event I'm attending.

You're not attending?

I want to play it safe.

Then join us later at the dinner.

The minister will be there.

Okay. See you then.

Let's pull it on the count of three.

-Okay.
-Sure.

-All right. One, two, three.
-One, two, three.

Great job.

Thank you.

One, two, three.

-Go!
-Go!

This way.

-Welcome.
-How come you don't age at all?

I'm flattered.

-It's great that the ceremony went well.
-Sure.

If there's any assistance you need,
feel free to call me.

Thank you.

A lot of reporters came
to cover the ceremony today

to launch the Math Museum project.

Welcome.

The senator and his guests
have already arrived.

I see.

The director you had dinner with
before is also in another room.

-Mr. Lim?
-Yes.

-You're here.
-It's been a long time.

How have you been?

I heard you've been appointed
the committee chair.

Yes, it's quite a big responsibility.

The minister will be arriving soon.

Where is Mr. Paik Seung-yoo?

We didn't order this.

Principal Noh told us
to serve you this dish

-if you were to come here again.
-Really? Thank you.

I had dinner here
with Principal Noh before.

The food was very good,
so I thought I'd treat you here too.

Seems like she had this prepared.

Let's eat.

Are you at the Michaena restaurant?

How is Ye-lin?

She's fine.

She's busy studying lately.

Professor Kim in the computer science
department is a friend of mine. I could…

Thank you for this delicious dish.
I'm here with the math clinic instructor.

I told her that this was your treat.

ARE YOU AT THE MICHAENA RESTAURANT?

Yes.

Enjoy the food.

Are you okay? I'm so sorry.

I'm setting up a scholarship fund.

It'll be a non-profit foundation
that will give student aid

to needy students who are gifted.

-I have to take this call.
-Sure.

-Hello?
-Come out.

What?

Now.

What?

Once the math museum is built,

it'll raise the position of Korea's
education system in the world.

I agree with that.

I'll make sure we cover everything.
We'll consult with mathematicians…

What's going on?

I'm having dinner with Principal Noh here.
Senator Sung is also here.

The principal somehow knew
and she was going to your room.

Stay still for a moment.

Apologize for everything you did.

Isn't that Han Myung-jin?

What if he talks to the authorities
and tells them everything?

-Ms. Ji Yoon-su has returned.
-That's how you always handle a matter.

You never get your own hands dirty
and make someone else get what you want.

You can't get the problem out of your head

and you see it
even if you try hard not to.

Just because your life was destroyed,

doesn't give you the right
to ruin Seung-yoo's.

The circumstances will drastically change,
now that you've said that.
