I'll give you an important task
to show you that I still trust you.
Get rid of Ms. Oh In-joo.
As quickly and as neatly as you can.
When can you do it by?
I'll get it done by tomorrow.
That quickly?
There might be problems if we do it here in Korea,
so I'll deal with her somewhere far off.
Ms. Oh will voluntarily leave the country never to return,
and her sisters will have no idea that she has died.
How does that sound?
Is that possible?
We're going to Singapore for work.
I like it.
I like it so much
that I'll be disappointed if it doesn't go as planned.
If Oh In-joo is still alive by tomorrow midnight,
you will die.
I can trust you, right?
I received an email from Singapore.
It says that the preview of the auction was attended by many VIPs
including Ms. Oh In-joo from Korea.
That's…
Hwa-young.
Is Ms. Jin Hwa-young
really dead?
Yes.
I saw her dead body with my own eyes.
She's definitely dead.
We have a problem.
Rumor has it that the paper company that I set up under your name
is going to be investigated.
Then what will happen?
They might freeze the accounts.
But the bigger problem is
that the fake Oh In-joo might take the 70 billion won herself.
Is it really possible…
that Hwa-young is still alive?
I'm on my way to the airport.
I'm going to Singapore to find out.
Are you coming with me or not?
I am.
Open the door.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want to hurt you.
But you must understand
that we have a goal to stand in the highest place together.
But your actions are getting in the way of our goal.
I had no choice.
But still, how could you lock me up?
How could you do this to me?
Just until tomorrow.
Take your meds and behave yourself for just one more night.
And you'll be free tomorrow.
Nobody knows you were locked up.
The PR team covered it up with the photos and videos they had prepared.
Tomorrow, you'll stand before the public at your most extravagant.
You love being live on TV.
Live?
What should I wear?
I shouldn't look too sexy, right?
It would be nice for people to know
how sexy the woman I'm married to is.
You must promise
that you'll protect me
no matter what happens.
That's a promise that we've had since I was in middle school.
Didn't you know that?
Why do you think I was at this protest?
Because I was frustrated.
Nobody apologized to us.
They apologized to Vietnamese civilians
and even to the Viet Cong,
but not to us.
We wanted people to know how frustrated we were.
This was used just for show, not to cause actual harm.
But look.
A car suddenly drove in.
-Apologize to us! -Apologize!
Take responsibility!
-Take responsibility! -Take responsibility!
It blew up after five seconds.
This is who Choi Hee-jae is.
So Mr. Choi Hee-jae didn't discuss this with you beforehand--
There's no way he'd do that. He's a lone wolf.
At first, nobody knew who he was.
I found out later that he was a part of that operation in 1967.
The operation that recruited only the bravest and most agile soldiers.
That secret operation?
In our best battles,
the kill-to-death ratio for Korean troops was 20:1.
That's twenty Viet Cong killed for one Korean soldier dead.
But those men had a kill-to-death ratio of 100:1.
No one thought they'd make it back alive,
but those men did.
However, they all came back as different men.
How so?
Some say they were possessed.
Possessed?
By the orchid ghost.
OH IN-JOO
In-joo?
I'm on my way to Singapore, In-kyung.
Right now?
Something urgent came up.
So I was wondering if you could come to Singapore either today or tomorrow.
What are you suddenly saying?
Then how am I going to cover this case?
How will I finish up the story?
You can cover this story any day
as long as you're alive.
I'm just trying to prepare for the worst.
It doesn't have to be right now, but at least be ready to leave.
And have your emergency phone charged around the clock.
Pass this on to In-hye too, okay?
This is driving me insane.
There are a total of 12 CCTV cameras here.
None are in the rooms. Most are installed along the corridors.
This is what gets sent to the security company.
If you do this, the footage from the last 30 minutes gets copied.
And this is what the security company will see.
Did you just hack this?
Does manipulating your own computer count as hacking?
How do you know all the passcodes?
No one ever bothered to hide them from me.
Panama.
The Virgin Islands.
Switzerland.
Singapore.
These accounts are all yours?
Yes.
I'll be free to use them as I like after my birthday this year.
Is this where we'll be staying?
It's so beautiful.
The auction will be held here tomorrow in Vanilla Hall.
I have to go to the office
to see what's going on and find a countermeasure.
Check in using this along with your passport.
Aren't you coming with me?
I'll pick you up before the auction.
Get some rest until then.
I wonder what's wrong.
TRANSLATOR
LANGUAGE: KOREAN
I do not speak English. Could you please speak into this?
One second.
I mean, it's not that big of a deal.
Me?
I see.
If the father is a monster,
will the child become one too?
I'm not sure.
Isn't it better to be a monster than to be ordinary?
I've thought for a long time
that I'm not sure what I'll become if I live in this house.
Whether you become a monster or an ordinary girl,
you need to be yourself first.
And to be yourself,
there's only one way.
By escaping from this house.
Mom.
Hyo-rin.
Mom, did it hurt?
Are you all right?
My baby.
Did you come because you were worried?
You were alone in a closed room. I thought you might…
I thought you might be lonely.
How thoughtful of you.
I've been well.
It's been a while since I last ate and slept like this.
I saw the letter you sent to In-joo.
You're taking us to Singapore.
-Right. -I'm all ready.
I have cash and my foreign bankbooks.
I'll take you there.
When should we leave?
Hyo-rin.
I…
made up with Dad.
What?
He apologized to me.
Tomorrow,
I'll be able to leave this room.
I want to trust him since he's your dad.
What do you think?
I wanted…
to protect you, Mom.
That isn't something a child should do.
I should be the one protecting you.
Right, I have a great idea.
Right.
This is all I have.
I appreciate it,
but I don't have any requests at the moment.
Oh In-joo…
The most important person
in the world.
Did I get any of it wrong?
OH HYE-SEOK
Strictly speaking, Lieutenant Oh Hye-seok wasn't a part of Jeongran Society.
She took great care of us after the operation,
but she ended up falling out.
Especially after the General's wife passed away.
I understand the effort you're putting into this.
However…
who do you think will believe it?
To be frank, you're an alcoholic and a stalker
who was dismissed from work.
On top of that, you aren't on TV now.
You'll have to go on ETube.
I have irrefutable evidence
and circumstances that are set in stone.
It'll be perfect with your testimony.
If you'll do the interview--
I need a credible media outlet.
Like the nine o'clock news that can't be silenced or ignored.
The kind that makes the entire press report on the story it airs.
DEPARTMENT HEAD, JO WAN-GYU
What is it, In-kyung?
I'm sorry to call so late.
It's about the orchid-related deaths that I mentioned before.
Okay.
If I have enough evidence and a trustworthy witness,
may I report this news even if it's through another reporter?
No, you need to come and do it yourself.
I'll make an appeal to the disciplinary committee.
You'll be allowed back.
An exclusive will make things easier.
Are you sure about the witness?
Will you do the interview now?
Come with me.
I have something to show you.
What are you going to do
with all of this?
I went into the mountains 20 years ago
for one reason.
I couldn't make my son become the son of a murderer.
I also returned for one reason.
My son.
I will not let him become a murderer or get murdered.
I need a reporter who understands this.
You are planning
to kill Park Jae-sang.
Something that's worthy of the nine o'clock news will break out.
As soon as that happens, make sure you get my story out.
I can't do that.
I can't become that kind of a reporter.
Just one shot. It all must end with one shot.
This may become the biggest story since the beginning of history.
We can do that with the news. That one shot you need.
We'll take him down with just one shot.
How?
I have the ledgers of their slush fund.
I'll begin by exposing their malpractice, embezzlement, and slush fund.
Once that goes on the nine o'clock news,
we'll press them with the stories of their murders.
Let's use the evidence, the witnesses, and the ledgers
to rewrite our modern history around Jeongran Society.
You can make your entrance then.
That will be our coup de grâce.
You don't have to become a murderer,
and your son won't have to live with the fact
that both his parents are murderers.
If something goes even slightly wrong, we'll resort to my plan.
In front of everyone,
while dozens of cameras are filming,
I'm going to kill Park Jae-Sang
in a way that'll be unforgettable.
So that they will never dare to rear their head again.
It's a deal.
Then shall we begin the interview?
What?
Mr. Choi.
It seems like people know me.
This is the passcode to Hwa-young's place.
The day her mother passed away.
The last four digits of her phone number.
Well…
Here they are.
-Let's go, In-joo. They were in my pocket. -Okay.
No way.
If the Oh In-joo of Singapore looks exactly like you…
What on earth happened?
How can there be someone who looks exactly like me?
You said
Hwa-young was getting plastic surgery.
I don't think that's possible.
The Oh In-joo of Singapore will be at the morning auction.
Let's hurry.
Right.
You won't be wearing what you wore yesterday, right?
I did prepare something.
Okay.
What's all this?
I thought Oh In-joo of Singapore would wear these.
I'll claim the expenses because it's for work.
INTERNATIONAL ORCHID FESTIVAL
It feels like everyone is staring at me.
It doesn't matter.
You're the real Oh In-joo.
Be confident.
If Hwa-young is alive, she'll definitely come here.
Try making a bid.
It's Director Won's money anyway.
Keep going. It's okay.
Well…
I received an orchid from a late friend.
I never went to the bathroom.
Hwa-young.
I'm here.
Where are you?
What's going on?
Someone saw a person who looks exactly like me.
It must be Hwa-young.
The Oh In-joo of Singapore.
In-joo, get it together.
They may be mistaken.
No one looks exactly the same as you.
The phone bidder left you a message.
"Congratulations. You look like a real princess today."
"I was always curious
how much you would shine when you bloom."
Hwa-young once told me
that you resembled Princess.
Once you bloom,
you'll be more dazzling than anyone.
It's Hwa-young.
I heard Hyo-rin snuck into her mom's room last night.
She said they should go to Singapore together.
How did she do that without the security team finding out?
Is this something that she could have come up with on her own?
You didn't make her do this, did you?
Ever since her mom was locked up,
she wasn't in her right mind.
Last night,
I barely managed to stop her
from hurting herself during a panic attack.
If she hadn't met her mom like that,
she'd be at the ER again.
Just remember this.
You two can never run away.
My men in Singapore are on the move as we speak.
Don't even think about betraying me.
You asked me before.
If I could betray someone who loved me
the most in this world.
I can.
Because the love I received
from my mom, dad, and sisters
brought me closer to death.
But now that I'm here,
why is it that I find
Hyo-rin dying?
I hope Hyo-rin becomes someone who is capable of betrayal.
Otherwise…
she might really die.
How much are you willing to bear
if something were to happen to her?
What makes you think I would bear something like that
when I can bulldoze through it?
It's people like you
who should be worried about such scenarios.
Anyway…
can't you stay out of our lives?
We won't mind what the adults are up to.
Then nothing
will happen to Hyo-rin.
A strong mayoral candidate,
Park Jae-sang of the Civil Party is here in the studio with us.
We prepared a surprise segment.
What is it?
We invited to the studio
someone that Mr. Park values and loves the most.
Can you guess who it might be?
I'm not sure.
Let's call in our guest together.
-Come on out. -Come on out.
In-joo won't pick up.
You can tell me. What is it?
Who did she go to Singapore with?
Choi Do-il.
Tell her to be careful of him.
What is it?
Hyo-rin's dad
must be up to something in Singapore.
He knows that she's there.
Hwa-young once said
that I resembled Princess.
She's alive.
She's the only one who would send me such a message.
What if it's Won Sang-woo?
He's a well-known orchid enthusiast, and he was close to Hwa-young.
Hwa-young purchased expensive orchids as Oh In-joo for many years.
What if Won Sang-woo was behind her?
I guess that's possible.
He loved Princess of Thieves more than anybody else did.
Let's try to be as reasonable as possible.
To be frank, I don't think Hwa-young is alive.
But it's a fact that someone has assumed your identity.
We don't know who that is.
But whether it's Ms. Jin Hwa-young or Won Sang-woo,
that impersonator has a goal.
They're after the 70 billion won that's under the name, Oh In-joo.
That's why you had to be at the auction today.
We had to show everyone
who the real Oh In-joo was.
That's why you prepared the dress and the earrings.
People probably pictured Oh In-joo to look like this.
So what we need to do now is
to withdraw that money as soon as possible.
It will be dangerous
to manage transactions using your name in Singapore.
Cash withdrawal is the only way.
It's usually impossible to withdraw 70 billion in cash over a day.
But we requested that the account be closed two weeks ago.
We made sure they prepared the cash through the network of banks.
A total of 70 billion won from 7 banks.
We have to do it in two hours.
We must arrive in Malaysia before the banks close.
Before anybody begins to suspect us.
What do I have to do?
Leave quick and accurate signatures.
It will cost us 300 million for every minute wasted starting now.
Keep unnecessary words and actions to a minimum.
Also…
do not leave my side under any circumstances.
I'll deal with any problems that may arise.
What is it? I'm busy right now.
Are you with Choi Do-il?
Yes.
In-hye wanted me to tell you to be careful of him.
What?
Park Jae-sang is up to something in Singapore.
Does anything seem suspicious?
MORNING WINDOW WAITING ROOM
Where is your mom?
I don't know.
Did she go somewhere?
Didn't you plan this with your mom to help her escape?
No, she said--
She said what?
That I'm the most precious person to you.
She said you would be happy to see me.
That this was like a surprise party.
Look everywhere.
Singapore. Korea.
-Find her by any means. -Yes, sir.
Wait, I have to talk to you.
You told me
that I'll be safe as long as that money is under my name.
Once we withdraw all the cash,
how am I supposed to trust you?
Do you know how to shoot a gun?
This one is easy to use.
Just pull the trigger.
You know about my mom.
She's in prison for killing someone over money.
I've been on the run my entire life to not become a murderer.
That's why I obsess over money.
Only a large amount of money can turn my life around.
Stay right by my side with the gun pointed at my back.
Then you'll be safe.
It's a good idea not to trust anybody.
To be frank, it'd be great if you'd trust no one but me.
But don't ever trust anyone or anything
except for your gun and cash.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL CENTER
How could my mom
leave me behind and leave by herself?
How did your dad know everything?
Even the security team didn't know.
And there aren't any CCTV cameras in the rooms.
I didn't think you'd make it this far, In-joo.
But that man, Choi Do-il, is a dangerous person.
You have to get away from him. Right now.
PARK JAE-SANG
Right.
I'm all ready.
I have cash…
Once you're done at the last bank…
…the manager will ask to see Choi Do-il because of a problem.
That's when you come out through the side door.
A car will be waiting for you outside.
It will take you to my apartment.
The address is…
You can open the doors with your fingerprints.
We'll talk when we meet.
Always stay alert.
In-joo seems to be in serious danger, In-kyung.
What do we do?
She's not picking up.
IN-KYUNG
I need to meet Park Jae-sang right now!
I'll give you what you want, so let me meet him!
In-joo.
In-joo, wake up. You need to wake up.
Hwa-young.
Am I dead?
You aren't.
You're fine,
so get up.
You have to run.
No, I'm too exhausted.
I'm too exhausted to run away.
You can move your limbs, right?
Then run with all your strength.
This…
Take this. Crawl if you must.
That?
I don't want it.
It's too heavy.
That almost got me killed.
What are you saying?
Then why did you come here?
I wanted…
to see you.
Even if it was just for once.
There was something I wanted to ask you.
Hey.
I am…
dead.
How can you meet someone who is dead?
You came here to become rich.
So pull it together.
Then we'll go together.
Can't I go with you?
No.
You have to go alone.
As far away as possible.
As far as you can.
Okay?
Size 235mm?
I had so many questions to ask you.
Why me, Hwa-young?
Why did you give me such a large amount of money?
Was it me from the start?
Is that why we became friends?
How far did you think I'll make it?
What should I become with this money?
Are you a good person or a bad person?
Hwa-young!
I'm right on time, right?
I was anxious that I might be late.
On the night Hwa-young died…
your mom…
went out in a fur coat.
But when she returned…
She wasn't wearing it.
Hwa-young died…
wearing a fur coat.
Why is the room so dark?
It's brooding.
So Hwa-young…
is dead.
And I…
will also die.
Did you really think she was alive?
How foolish of you. You even saw her dead body.
Why…
was all of this necessary?
I told you.
I like secret plays.
It's my way of playing with dolls in this boring world.
In this play, you were the lead.
They're great actors, right?
Did you know?
You get surprised so easily.
Hwa-young.
I love it when you make that face.
You're like a little child looking for her mom.
Since when…
did I start playing the part of the lead?
From the day I first met you.
The interview was your audition.
Hello, my name is Oh In-joo.
I have three years of experience in accounting.
I'm the eldest of three sisters.
-Ms. Oh In-joo… -I told you, right?
I liked you from the first moment I saw you.
A poor girl who seemed so hopeful.
It was touching.
What will happen if she becomes an outcast?
Will she lose her spirit, get depressed, or be in pain?
Hwa-young developed your character.
Always keep them near and check them whenever suspicion arises.
A friend to outcasts.
That was Hwa-young's character.
You made her act
in your play too?
Hwa-young is my favorite character.
I taught her everything she knew.
Then why did you kill her?
Whenever I see someone, I can see their death within them.
Hwa-young seemed perfect for that.
A poor woman who loved luxury items.
A woman who believed her life would change after a series of plastic surgeries.
Someone who died a meaningless death
after getting caught embezzling money.
That's not who Hwa-young is!
You should be more worried about yourself.
You'll be on the front page of the local papers tomorrow.
"A vain Korean woman who conned others using orchids
loses everything to a man and jumps off a building."
The articles and your suicide note have already been written.
There are even people waiting outside
to record videos of you falling.
What about In-hye?
Is In-hye…
safe?
Don't worry about that.
Many live a perfectly good life
even after losing their parents, let alone a sister.
In-hye will soon become one of us.
If something happens to In-hye,
Hyo-rin will be too devastated to go on.
This is odd.
How can I be so sleepy
in a situation like this?
You'll soon lose consciousness.
You had the blue orchid tea.
Three drops of the orchid's solution
can even put a horse to sleep in just half an hour.
I'll push you off while you're still conscious
so that you can see the thrilling world you dreamed of
before you go.
You know it's all your fault, right?
You were born poor,
yet you dared to try so hard
to come up here.
I want to see…
my 70 billion won
before I go.
Right.
You had a tough time bringing it here.
Of course, you can see it one last time.
I…
love it when you make that face.
You're like a little child
who lost her toy.
I DIDN’T THINK YOU’D MAKE IT THIS FAR, IN-JOO
Are members of Jeongran Society who receive the orchid forced to die
if they do not voluntarily choose death?
After the transaction has been finalized, it's best if we never meet again.
Will I end up hanging myself there?
-I told you, didn't I? -Kill them.
That I like secrets.
What do you think will happen if Park Jae-sang becomes the mayor?
We need you to testify, sir.
We have the support of someone we can trust.
I came to her house because I couldn't contact her.
The house was a complete mess. And the parrot…
Then I will say this before I go, just in case.
If something happens,
please make sure my sisters receive their share.
Prepare some cash and my ID.
I'll go far away. I want to live a quiet life.
Let me join you…
in killing Park Jae-sang.
