Original subtitles

Was it you?

No, right?

Tell me it wasn't you.

It wasn't you.

There's no way you...

At the time...

I couldn't see clearly.

Oh, you didn't know.

Ms. Ko and I are going to Thailand together.

She dropped it when we were together.

We were both preoccupied.

Did I sleep with him?

No, I didn't.

I didn't sleep with him, you jerk!

And...

I couldn't hear a thing.

What is it?

I'll get straight to the point.

Don't appear in front of Hye-ran again.

She has a family.

I am her husband and she is my wife.

Before that, she was my woman.

You're right,

Hye-ran is your wife.

But how come she couldn't forget about me?

An accomplished husband from a distinguished family.

That's why she chose you over me,

but I guess she couldn't be satisfied.

Because what Hye-ran wanted... was love.

Someone she missed,

wanted to meet,

and hold.

-Stop. -Wife? Family?

You're in business together, not a marriage.

I said stop.

You think some piece of paper makes her yours?

You've never heard Hye-ran say

she loves you.

"My wife"?

You've got to be kidding me.

Let go.

I told you to stop.

Then everything happened

in the blink of an eye.

I was planning

on dying with him,

but even that didn't go as I'd hoped.

And as if nothing ever happened,

it was buried

just like that.

This is Traffic Updates at 57.

Intermittent snow since last night

has now turned into heavy snowfall.

We expect at least six centimeters of snowfall today.

Please be careful driving in the snow.

First up, we have breaking news from last night.

Professional golfer

Kevin Lee

died in a car accident... early this morning.

Why didn't you tell me?

What was your intention keeping your mouth shut?

-Hye-ran. -You...

Were you really going to let me take the fall?

Did you really want to see me get stoned to death?

It was agonizing.

It was excruciating, not knowing what to do.

You should have told me, Kang Tae-wook!

You had months to tell me! You kept silent until the very end.

If I hadn't asked you today,

you'd have gone on lying, the hypocrite you are.

I didn't want to get caught.

I wanted to bury it if I could

so that no one would find out...

That's what I wanted.

I thought I could do it.

You should've

killed me instead.

You...

should've killed me,

not Jae-young!

Hye-ran.

Don't touch me.

There was nothing

I could say to you.

Whatever I said, it would sound like an excuse.

But Hye-ran...

even if everything feels like an excuse...

and hypocrisy...

you were...

my love.

SMOKE AND FOG

That's right, the reservation is under my name.

It's Seo Eun-ju.

The reservation number is 0626.

Yes,

that's correct.

Thank you.

You can say it's not true and hope it isn't.

At least there's still hope.

When you lose that,

you're left with nothing.

It's almost cruel.

Only a sense of futility remains.

I'm flying out next Monday.

And I'll live

without knowing where it'll all end.

Without knowing where I'm headed.

Actually,

when we came to Korea...

Jae-young wanted to

spend a week or so in Hawaii before coming here.

We'd registered our marriage, but never went on a proper honeymoon.

But I insisted

that I wanted to come to Korea.

I insisted and we got on that plane,

but I shouldn't have.

If we hadn't gotten on that plane,

we wouldn't have met you at the airport

and Jae-young wouldn't have died.

It's you, right? Ko Hye-ran!

Are you satisfied?

It's all because of you, Hye-ran.

Jae-young and me. Myung-woo and even your husband.

We are all where we are

because of you.

Are you satisfied?

So...

are you happy?

I've always wanted to ask...

if you're happy now.

Goodbye, Eun-ju.

Let's never meet again.

-You're early today, sir. -Morning.

-I couldn't sleep. -Good morning, Mr. Jang.

You're all so hard at work.

This is the sacred newsroom. Who dares to--

Hye-ran.

What are you doing here?

Hello.

Morning news will start at 6:00. Get up.

Oh, that's right. The news.

The news must go on.

Mr. Jang,

you trust Ko Hye-ran with the news, right?

You said I have to do it for it to feel like real news.

Why, is something going on?

There's always something.

Is it because of Song-yi?

I know...

I have no drinking buddy because Song-yi's in the hospital.

Then go home and drink with your hubby. That'll do.

How... did I end up here?

What do you mean?

I worked so hard.

I was always charging forward, never once looked back.

I busted my chops to not fall behind.

As a reporter and anchor,

I gave it my all.

Why did everything

get twisted into a complete mess?

Is there something wrong with me?

Oh, Hye-ran.

Only a handful of people really know what's wrong in the world.

They just live every day assuming that's how you do it.

One day at a time.

Is that right?

It's depressing.

It's not depressing, it's fair.

After all, everyone lives for today.

-Mr. Jang. -Yeah?

Have you ever had

-regrets in life? -Regrets?

Regret never comes first.

I'm a newsperson to the bone.

Nothing else has value

nor is it entertaining. It's all meaningless.

You're the same, aren't you?

That's what made you who you are today.

So Hye-ran...

Enough. Get up before the kids show up.

All right... Atta girl.

Come on now.

Goodness.

Get up, okay?

It's all because of you, Hye-ran.

Why? What did I do?

Are you satisfied?

What the hell did you jerks ever do for me?

So...

are you happy?

What do you know about my misfortunes?

Myung-woo.

I came to say goodbye.

You know something?

I don't regret the decision that I made.

I haven't regretted it once.

You are worth it,

Hye-ran.

So... don't apologize to anyone.

It's not your fault.

It's not because of you.

Everyone is just living their own lives.

Eun-ju, me,

and Tae-wook.

Myung-woo...

-You... -Bye.

You know what, Hye-ran?

I'm glad.

I don't have anything,

but I was able to gift you tomorrow.

Myung-woo...

Myung-woo.

It was a short,

but sweet break for me.

So please,

don't cry for too long.

Myung-woo.

Are you satisfied?

So...

are you happy?

Tae-wook.

Good morning.

What brings you here at this hour?

Have you had breakfast?

We were just about to sit down to eat.

That's great,

I haven't eaten either.

And Hye-ran?

She's taking time off work. You should've brought her.

I told her to rest.

The two of you should go some place nice and quiet

and get some air.

You haven't had a chance to travel properly

since after the wedding.

I know.

What is it?

Tell me. What is it?

I won't be able to

come see you for a while, Father.

Why, are you going somewhere?

Yes.

I'll be away...

for a while.

You have to take care of something?

I...

killed a person.

I'm sorry.

You fool.

I'm sorry.

Song-yi, are you okay?

Yeah.

Hold on, I'll get a doctor.

What about Tae-wook?

What happened to him?

What do you mean?

He didn't tell you

anything?

It happened right after

I met with Tae-wook.

Thank you.

I just met with Ms. Seo.

I'm afraid I'm going to need an explanation,

Mr. Kang.

I have to head out for a bit. Please excuse me.

Ms. Seo

told me about the dash cam memory chip.

Is everything she told me... true?

Why did you delete it?

I just didn't like it.

I didn't want anyone to see what was inside.

I'm sure you didn't want it to be exposed,

but as Ko Hye-ran's lawyer,

you shouldn't have gotten rid of it.

I'm also her husband.

She could've been convicted of murder.

I was confident

because Hye-ran didn't kill anyone.

You sound like you know who did it.

Do you know why that brooch

was found in Kevin Lee's car

by any chance?

Yes, I do.

He said he wanted to take a trip.

Just the two of you.

He said you'd never traveled together, other than for your honeymoon.

He'll turn himself in

once he returns.

Let's go away, Hye-ran.

Some place no one recognizes us.

Hello?

Where are you?

Where are you, Tae-wook?

Tae-wook.

It's by an artist I like.

Tae-wook...

I was often comforted

by this artist's pieces when times were tough.

I just heard from Song-yi.

Shall we have some tea?

What is this?

You should go with your family.

You really didn't have to...

Thank you for everything.

It was hard work for lousy pay.

I've always been grateful.

I'll accept it with thanks.

But Mr. Kang, is something going on?

Like what? Nothing's going on.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Thanks again for the gift.

But I won't go right away.

I'll hold onto it and if all goes well until the summer,

I'll go then.

There's no need for that.

I'm going to take some time off.

Okay, you should take a break.

Until then, I will hold down the fort.

-Mr. Jung... -Mr. Kang.

Let me have my way this time.

Yes?

Is Mr. Kang in?

No, he's not.

-When will he be back? -I'm not sure.

I don't know that.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm on my way to court.

Excuse me, Detective Kang.

Let it go.

You've done enough.

You kept on harassing Ms. Ko over something that was already over.

Aren't you sorry?

I'm just doing what I should be doing.

Then do a good job!

What the hell is this? It's sheer torture.

Mr. Kang isn't like that.

He's always sided with the weak

and helped the powerless and wrongfully accused.

Murderer?

Murderer, my ass.

Do your job properly!

I forgot my bag...

Do a good job, will you?

This is perfectly fine. Why'd he throw it out?

Good morning to our viewers.

I am Ko Hye-ran with JBC Morning News.

First up, we have breaking news from last night.

Professional golfer Kevin Lee died

in a car accident early this morning.

You came in early. Did you see the news?

-Kevin Lee-- Oh, you're watching. -According to police,

there was a collision on the westbound Gangbyeon Expressway.

-What's going on? -Professional golfer Kevin Lee

was found dead at the scene.

Tae-wook.

I wanted to

spend time with you like this, if only for a day.

It's better than I imagined it'd be.

Why didn't we make time for each other like this sooner?

I thought it was love.

So I was confident.

No matter what you did,

I thought I could change you in the end.

But as time passed, you became more distant

and I became smaller.

I couldn't handle it,

and you turning away hurt me even more.

Are you... really going to go?

Thank you for coming here.

And... I'm sorry.

Tae-wook.

Tae-wook.

Let's take some time to think about it.

Fine, let's go on that trip first.

Let's go away together and we can think about it.

Let's think it over.

Hye-ran.

I can't let you.

I can't let you go like this, Tae-wook.

How did we... end up like this?

How did we... get here?

Hey, Hye-ran.

Aren't you on leave until next week? Why'd you come in?

Hye-ran, are you all right?

Hey, welcome.

What's going on?

This is the headline tonight for News Nine.

Hye-ran.

Please don't issue a newsflash.

Please report on it accurately as the headline.

You can do that for me, right?

That'll do.

Hye-ran.

Are you-- Are you going to be okay?

REAL CULPRIT IN KEVIN LEE MURDER CASE TURNS HIMSELF IN,

IDENTIFIED TO BE HUSBAND OF FORMER ANCHOR KO HYE-RAN,

LAWYER KANG TAE-WOOK

This is insane.

SEOUL CENTRAL POLICE STATION

What? There's a real culprit?

Okay, go ahead.

What?

Okay, thanks.

Why, what is it?

-The Kevin Lee case. -What? Kevin Lee?

What about it?

The real culprit showed up.

-Excuse me? -What?

He just turned himself in.

Who's this culprit that turned himself in?

The thing is...

It's Ha Myung-woo.

What?

Did you say Ha Myung-woo?

He's the... uh...

What are you talking about?

The real culprit is... Ha Myung-woo?

That's what he said.

He turned himself in to the police, saying he killed Kevin Lee.

Ha Myung-woo confessed?

Yes. Detective Kang is with him right now.

You can come back another time.

Hey, look.

Do you even know what you're saying right now?

Yes,

I know very well.

So...

you really killed Kevin Lee?

Yes.

I also killed Baek Dong-hyun.

Why?

Because he harassed Hye-ran.

Hey, how'd it go?

Ha Myung-woo is a complete psychopath.

The entire house is covered with Ko Hye-ran.

He served 19 years for a murder conviction

and apparently he was obsessed with Hye-ran in prison.

He collected all the articles about you.

Did you know?

I found a bunch of zolpidem in his drawers.

It's identical to the substance detected from Baek Dong-hyun's corpse.

-I killed them. -Bullshit!

There's no way you could've killed Kevin Lee.

It happened before your release!

I ordered a hit from within.

Hey.

Why are you making up such a lie?

Whatever the reason,

I won't let anyone harass Hye-ran.

Ha Myung-woo!

Which is why... I killed them.

You piece of shit. You're really going to do this?

It wasn't you.

It wasn't!

No, I killed them.

Kevin Lee and Baek Dong-hyun.

I killed both of them.

You... You spent the last 19 years in prison and you want to go back?

How...

can you throw your life away like this?

I've never done such a thing.

I never thought of it that way.

I killed them.

Okay?

Why are you all sitting there when the real culprit

confessed to killing Kevin Lee?

Get moving!

-Ji-won, write the headline article. -Yes, sir.

-Ki-seok. Police station, right away. -Yes, sir.

Dae-woong, I'll give you five minutes. Find out everything you can about him.

Hye-ran, back up Dae-woong since you know Ha Myung-woo well.

Mr. Jang.

The culprit turned himself in.

Right now, that's a fact. Got it?

We'll act based on the known facts.

Mr. Kang!

Why won't you answer your phone?

Mr. Jung, how did you...

Ha Myung-woo came to see me.

Sorry?

Could you please give that to Mr. Kang?

Stay by Hye-ran's side until the end.

Consider it your punishment.

Professional golfer Kevin Lee,

who was thought to have been killed in a car accident last January,

was found to have been murdered instead.

Ha, who turned himself in,

served in prison for 19 years for a murder conviction

and has been stalking Ko Hye-ran for quite some time.

The death of Kevin Lee's former agent Baek,

which was presumed to be suicide,

is said to be connected to Ha as well.

Myung-woo... What did you do?

Why on earth? Why would you?

You and I are victims. It's all Hye-ran's fault.

So why...

Eun-ju...

it was you.

You were at the root of everything, not Hye-ran.

SEO EUN-JU

Hi, Myung-woo.

What are you doing here?

Hey, Eun-ju.

Where's Hye-ran?

Hye-ran? She left already.

Didn't you know?

Hye-ran's mom refuses to pay for tuition,

so she went to the jewelry shop guy to borrow money.

The jewelry shop guy?

The money-lender?

Yeah... Don't you think it's weird, though?

Why did he tell her to come back at closing time? She's only borrowing money.

He's got a reputation for harassing women--

Myung-woo! Where are you going?

What do I do?

If only you hadn't done that, Hye-ran and I...

would be leading completely different lives.

So what?

Are you saying

I caused your misfortune?

It's my fault?

No.

It's nobody's fault.

We're just all living our separate lives.

So Eun-ju,

go live your life.

Forget everything

and stop resenting.

STAY BY HYE-RAN'S SIDE UNTIL THE END CONSIDER THAT YOUR PUNISHMENT

-Why did you do that? -What?

I told you the truth.

The news is supposed to deliver

confirmed facts only.

The confirmed real culprit of Kevin Lee's case

is none other than Ha Myung-woo.

You can't arrest someone based on suspicion alone.

It's the same with the news.

The public are sympathizing with Ko Hye-ran,

who was stalked for 19 years and almost framed for murder,

and the husband who protected her.

They're looking at you in a new light.

It's more than taking pity or showing compassion.

They're going wild.

I've got nothing to lose from this.

What do you mean?

Nothing to lose?

You're the only one who can do this.

INTERVIEW WITH KO HYE-RAN

There is no one else in Korea who can call in politicians

and call them out with witty, sharp commentary.

Only you can do it, Hye-ran.

Without a doubt,

you will become JBC's Oprah Winfrey. I guarantee it.

Then what about the truth?

What happens to the truth?

Let's say that Ha Myung-woo's sincerity covered up the truth.

So just live your life today.

That's the answer.

And we will live on

not knowing what's at the end,

not knowing where we're headed.

KEVIN LEE MURDER CASE

REAL CULPRIT IN KEVIN LEE MURDER CASE TURNS HIMSELF IN,

IDENTIFIED TO BE HUSBAND OF FORMER ANCHOR KO HYE-RAN,

LAWYER KANG TAE-WOOK

Due to active cooling, a thick fog has set this morning.

Visibility in Seoul is down to 2 km, which is one tenth of what it normally is.

Please drive safely on your way to and from work today.

Five o'clock in the newsroom.

Good morning. You must be going somewhere.

My wife's program.

Ha Myung-woo's final hearing will be held tomorrow.

The prosecution asked for a death sentence, so at best, he'll do life.

You came all the way here to tell me that?

I was curious to see

how you'd react when I told you this.

Kevin Lee's murder case is an ongoing investigation for me.

The truth? I don't give a damn.

What I can't stand

is seeing the guilty living the good life and sleeping well at night.

Is that all?

The fog is quite bad.

Drive carefully.

Hye-ran, do you have a secret stash of youth serum put away somewhere?

Your skin is becoming smoother every day.

It's because you take good care of me.

-Are you done preparing? -Yes, Mr. Jang,

You look like spring, Hye-ran.

Shall we?

Okay.

INTERVIEW WITH KO HYE-RAN

And stop.

This is how you applaud

when Ms. Ko comes out. Do you understand?

Yes!

TUNNEL AHEAD BEWARE OF FOG

HYE-RAN

Whereabouts are you?

I wonder. Whereabouts are we?

I'm almost there.

I just need to get through the tunnel.

We're starting soon. Don't be late.

Gosh, why am I so nervous?

When the audience finds out

that the second guest on Interview with Ko Hye-ran

is Mr. Kang Tae-wook, they'll go nuts.

Can I count on you?

Hye-ran. Stand by, please.

I'll be up in the booth.

You can do magic.

INTERVIEW WITH KO HYE-RAN

I...

dreamed of happiness,

I thought I could achieve my dream.

I thought that happiness was within reach.

What did I dream of?

Was it you?

Or was it a me who was perfect for you?

Why was that brooch at the scene of the accident?

Ms. Ko,

please answer.

Why was that brooch--

She won't give an answer.

Who are you?

If only I had...

I'm Ko Hye-ran's husband, Kang Tae-wook.

...let everything go...

Ko Hye-ran has nothing to do with this case.

I was the last person to meet Kevin Lee that night.

Honey.

If I'd done that,

would you remember me as being perfect for you?

Hello, I'm Ko Hye-ran.

I'm sure it wasn't easy getting to the studio today.

Thank you for being with us today despite the heavy fog.

You're so pretty!

-Thank you. -How do you maintain your figure?

To me, Dae-woong, you are the prettiest.

Where do you go to work out?

Were you born with it, or do you work for it?

I put great effort into taking care of my health,

and you'll be able to tell how old I am once the studio lights go off.

-We don't believe you. -Nonsense.

Are you happy?

I thought I almost had it all.

But when I opened my fingers,

there was nothing there.

Sorry, we're in the middle of a shoot.

Excuse me?

Hye-ran.

Ko Hye-ran!

Maybe we're living our lives like crazy

for something that can never be had.

Hye-ran.

Hey, Ko Hye-ran.

Ko Hye-ran!

Hye-ran!

So... are you happy?
