Episode 1
I'm a reporter from Weekly Seoul,
Cho Sang-Won.
Sang-Won.
Did you say Sang-Won?
Yes...
Never mind.
How was the drive here?
Well,
it wasn't hard finding it.
Navigation works well nowadays.
Whoa,
I didn't realize you would be hiding out at a place like this.
Considering that I murdered 3 people,
do you think that I'm shameless hiding in God's house?
Who was that just left?
She's very kind.
Although I don't care for her being a stickler about drinking.
I'm not sure if I heard it wrong,
but you are thinking about turning yourself in?
Yes.
Once we are done with the interview,
I plan on turning myself in.
Cops are just lost with no evidence to put you away,
so why the change of heart?
I ran out of money,
and there's nowhere else for me to go.
In any case,
I didn't plan on being on the run forever.
So I'm assuming
that your request for a reporter as opposed to a lawyer
means you got some stories to tell.
I wanted tell the world through a reporter,
that I did what I did,
for a reason.
I will tell the truth about everything, so
please write an article that would flip this country upside down.
I understand.
Wait,
I'm going to start recording if you don't mind.
The scar on your face, how did you...
While I was lighting the greenhouse on fire,
I accidentally burned myself.
Then let me first
brief you on what I know
so you can say whatever you need to fill in the gaps.
If you need to say anything just interrupt me each time.
Sure.
27 days ago, on the 16th,
from what's captured on security camera,
the Police,
at Pyo Young-Gyoon and Jang Suk-Ryoo's place,
found the bodies.
[2016 February 16th and]
[a month before]
[January 17th 11:30 am]
[2016 February 16th and a month before January 17th 11:30 am]
The police suspect
that they have been murdered a month prior to discovering the bodies.
The cause of Mr. Pyo Young-Gyoon's death is a stab wound to the stomach.
Pyo Young-Gyoon is a close friend to your husband, Yoo Sang-Won,
of 25 years since high school.
They speculate that
you, Ms. Chun Eun-Joo, first subdued and murdered Mr. Pyo before Ms. Jang.
Is it accurate so far?
Yes.
Ms. Jang
was hired 2 years ago as a babysitter by you
and resided with you for about 6 months.
Then she met Mr. Pyo and got married about a year ago.
After Ms. Jang moved in,
did something happen?
You know,
isn't it typical as everyone would anticipate?
The usual scenario?
So...you mean...
with your husband,
like an affair?
Ah...
Sorry, I didn't meant to...
What was it like?
Ms. Jang's
first impression?
Her first impression...
Madam?
Yes?
Someone came for an interview for the babysitter position.
Oh, that's right!
Please. You can leave the pruning to the gardener.
I can't leave something this enjoyable to someone else, can I?
The interview will be held in the study, so please have her wait there.
Understood.
Madam?
The flower blossomed!
Excuse me?
You know,
This has been awarded by The American Orchid Society.
I was barely able to get my hands on this.
I was let down that its flower didn't blossom.
You were going to blossom beautifully,
why did you give me such a hard time, huh?
My name is Jang Suk-ryoo.
Please sit.
Let's talk comfortably.
Your resume speaks for itself.
23 years old,
double majored in English and Child Development.
You even have a teaching credential.
"Able to speak in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese."
You worked as a babysitter for President Hwang of Du-On Company?
Did they speak well of you?
Yes, I worked there during my break.
They strongly recommended you to me.
And my mother in law
who met you there became fond of you.
Ms. Suk-ryoo.
I guess the old folks just adore you.
You do realize that the residence on site is mandatory?
Yes. I know that you have Twin boys who are 3 months old and a 6 year old daughter.
That's right.
My daughter is not much of work. She is pretty calm.
I would take care of all three
but after the twins,
my body hasn't been the same.
Ah, I see...
I'm telling you now,
While we are not home, if you bring over friends
or a boyfriend,
something like that happens,
we won't tolerate it.
Of course!
That's given.
Does that mean I pass?
You are home early!
I got off early.
Our new babysitter.
Hmm...
she's a lot younger than I expected...
I'm seasoned in this field and I won't disappoint you.
I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
Please take a good care of our kids.
She graduated from your school.
Oh really?
I'm so glad.
Actually,
I've seen you on campus before.
You came by once to give a lecture, didn't you?
Ah, when I gave a lecture for a few of the graduates?
Yes.
Didn't I bore you?
The topic wasn't on a familiar field for me,
but I found it interesting.
Are we done with the "reunion"?
I'm going to excuse myself,
so you two please continue.
Please work hard.
Let's sign you on for 6 months contract for now.
Yes madam.
I will do my best.
By the way,
In order to work here, I need you to dress more modestly.
I won't go as far as imposing a uniform on you,
but such a short skirt for a babysitter
isn't proper, I don't think.
I will be careful.
No one ever pointed it out to me at Hwang's, so..
'That perverted old man...'
Excuse me?
Well that's them,
but we are different.
Anyway, please use your own discretion.
Okay, do you want me to read you a story until you fall asleep?
Will you be able to go to sleep?
Yes.
What you doing?
Ta-da!
Open it!
What is it?
"Tristan and Isolde"?
I know you like Wagner.
This year, we will settle with this,
but next year, we will go to Bayreuth and see it in person.
We have the reservation too, remember?
Wow...
I really wanted to see this.
but, what do I do...
that day,
I have a golf appointment with Mr. Jung.
Again?
I'm sorry.
You went through such a trouble...
Oh, instead of me,
why don't you take Ms. Jung-Hee?
Take my card
and go somewhere nice afterward.
I got these tickets imagining just how thrilled you would be.
Too bad.
You murdered Ms. Jang Suk-ryoo.
Her body was found with many bruises from ropes and assault.
She was found with an over stretched jaw
it isn't due to rot
but that it was pulled. The Police
speculated.
And...
Two days after the couple's bodies have been found,
At Yoo Sang-Won's place,
his body was found.
It took a while to identify his body due to burn
but it was verified to be him.
Autopsy showed that there was a fracture in his forehead
and his face was smeared against something.
After that, as the prime suspect
you have been on the run.
This is how I would sum it up.
Is this accurate?
I'm a narrow-minded woman who was obsessed with her husband.
This may sound ridiculous but
I feel like he is alive out there somewhere.
The marriage to Mr. Yoo
wasn't pre-arranged, correct?
No.
Although it may be hard to believe...
How did you two first meet?
We met at a coffee shop
in the fall...
No...
That was when we were already going out.
Did we first meet in the spring?
I would like a toasted bagel please.
You don't want coffee with that?
You won't go wrong with any of our coffee selection.
Come again?
What would you like?
I will take a bagel.
Okay.
Oh, and I will take coffee too.
Today's special.
Sure!
Ms. Moon-Joo,
Covent Garden, Scala, Binn, Baddeley,
I want to go
with you
to Europe.
Beautiful music,
the most important person
do I want to enjoy it with.
In this world,
the last person I will ever see
would be
you.
Hearing everything, it's pretty simple.
No.
I don't think it was that simple.
You, an ordinary housewife and a mother to three,
with a rich husband living in a picturesque mansion,
became a murderer overnight.
You must know more than this.
What are you doing up so late?
Since it's the first day,
I'm too excited to go to sleep.
Excited?
Like a child,
before a picnic?
What are you reading?
Demons?
Isn't this,
difficult to read?
A little bit.
But I learn something every time I read it.
I like Dostoyevsky, too.
I saw your library earlier. You've got some collection.
You saw?
Yes.
I saw some that are difficult to find.
Collecting them
wasn't easy.
I will walk you through them some time.
Oh yeah,
You can help yourself to any books you want to read.
Thank you, sir.
Don't stay up too late.
Then...
Finally,
I'm inside the "castle".
You need to get dressed and eat breakfast.
You don't want to?
What's this guy's name?
"Eun-Ha"
Eun-Byul's little brother?
You must love Eun-Ha a lot.
You slept with it so much, it's wearing out.
Shh!
Is it a secret to others dolls?
I told all of them that I love them all equally.
Okay.
I will keep your secret.
For that, you need to get dressed quickly.
Suk-ryoo!
What are you doing here?
I came here to fetch the golf ball.
This is such a beautiful garden.
I will find that ball later.
Actually, this place...
even my husband is not allowed without my permission.
Oh...
I'm sorry.
This is your first time,
so I will forgive you this time.
I hope that intrusion didn't startle you.
Madam?
Whoa.
I will be returning to my room then.
Wait.
Just until the light comes back on,
will you stay with me?
Ma'am,
I felt bad about trespassing into your garden.
Don't worry about it.
I'm weird, huh?
To me, that garden
is the only private space for myself.
Did you plant all those alone?
Yes.
UK, Netherlands, Japan,
from such places
I received the seeds and the vines little by little,
and I'm raising them.
That garden...
for our 1st Anniversary,
my husband built it for me.
Even down to a pebble, I poured my heart into that garden.
Since I started planting, my hands got rough,
but I don't care.
I saw in your room,
and I saw many books on arts.
Do you like paintings?
Old paintings have stories they tell, and I find it interesting.
For example,
wait, just a minute,
This one,
is a Novel called "Ines de Castro's Murder"
A Portuguese prince marries a foreign princess,
a maid named Ines came along,
Let me guess what it's about.
The prince must have fell in love with the maid.
That's right.
The king could not allow such romance,
so he put Ines to death.
Even then the prince could not forget about Ines.
That's too bad for that poor girl, Ines.
If she didn't catch the prince's eyes,
she wouldn't have been murdered.
What are you doing in the dark?
Oh, the blackout ended!
You weren't here and do you know how scared I was?
Jung Hee, is that you?
How did you know!
I can tell by the lotion you are wearing.
You sure have a nose like a hound.
Playing with dirt all day in your garden
Does that awaken your animal instinct?
You are on time for once.
You said you are buying, so I flew here.
Oh my...
You are home already?
Yes.
I think madam will be home late being out with her friend.
Yeah?
Ah,
There's nothing else to do,
so you can retire for the day.
Yes sir.
Oh my,
after you bore twins,
your hubby got you this?
Yep!
How many karats is this?
I'm not really sure myself...
You wanna try it on?
Unbelievable,
you are so lucky.
Your man just gets better.
Oh, did his father give you money?
Didn't he promise if you bear him a grandson,
he will give you a million dollars?
Since you gave him two at once,
it makes it 2 million, no?
Wait a sec,
is he pretending like he has forgotten?
To my father in law,
his own word is the absolute law.
Of course he paid me.
2 million?
Well, I gave him two.
He said I deserved a bonus and added one more million.
And on top of that,
he got me a property in Sung-Book City.
Oh my gosh, your father in law is so hot...
Oh the fun and benefit of being married into a filthy rich family...
Now that bore twin boys to the family of lone son for 5th generations,
isn't it all yours?
Is it?
What is it?
That shop,
is where we met for the first time.
During the most difficult and unsettling time of my life.
Now must be my happiest time, right?
This is not the happiest time, but
it's only the beginning.
Right!
I thought you will be back later.
It's okay.
I did say you can read what ever you want,
whenever you want.
But since the owner of this space is here,
I will vacate myself.
Oh,
Ms. Suk-ryoo.
The baby monitor.
Oh,
thank you.
Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan".
I don't think the 6 year old girl here would be reading this.
is this yours, miss?
Yes.
Please.
You must be the new babysitter.
My friend's wife is unexpectedly
more gullible than I thought.
I wonder what she's thinking.
As you requested I brought back flowers, madam.
Please hand them to the maid.
Oh my, Mr. Young-Gyoon!
How did you get in without a peep?
I snuck in when this young lady entered.
Your invitation,
is an honor.
Welcome.
One of my favorites!
I like this because it's on the heavy side.
Back in school, there were a few ladies who chased after Sang-Won.
but he wouldn't give any attention to them.
He kept himself solitary.
Is that so?
He behave so much like a monk,
so I had doubts whether he would find someone before turning 40.
But,
someone so attractive as you,
he somehow scored.
Hey hey, I just wasn't exposed like you,
but there was someone I was seeing then, alright?
You serious?
Dude, you were playing both side of the fence?
So, what about you?
No thoughts on remarrying?
I've been burnt once.
Why go through it again?
For the rest of my life,
I just want to be a bachelor.
Oh, that's right.
I came to see them twins.
Yet, we are chattering about nonsense here.
Where's the kids' room?
Don't mind us.
Please continue.
What a good looking fella.
is this the older one?
This one's Hye-Sol.
The younger one. And that over there is the older one.
So you are the older bro.
I hear that even twins have individual personalities.
How do you testify to that?
Han-Gyul is
more mildly behaved.
More mature because older, eh?
Your age?
Hey man, that's rude.
It's alright.
I'm 23.
With peach fuzz all around,
pretty much a young-en.
Hey Sang-Won!
Hey!
Come on, sit.
What's the occasion, Ms Suk-ryoo.
I heard you are a regular here, sir.
Back in college, he told me about this spot.
I told her this place reminds me of you, so she wanted to call you up too.
Hey, how did you two...
Dude, when two singles meet, you must already know how. Are you dense?
I don't consider us more than friends, still.
That's right. Friends who eat together, friends who kiss each other,
who visit each other's place. We will do that.
Since I'm going home,
I can give you a ride back.
Actually,
I haven't been out in a while,
so I will come home a little later.
Is that so?
Bring her home safely.
Go home!
How will you read this upside down?
Please come and read from this side.
The young generation in this age
do they know how to read Chinese characters?
It's "Hahm-Bi-Jah".
Impressive.
The youth nowadays
don't even know how to write their own names, I hear.
I read some oriental folk tales,
so I only know so much myself.
Since you can read it,
so you must know the meaning.
"Hak-Taek-Ji-Sah"
The snake in a dried pond.
It means.
For me to rise, I must raise the people under me first.
is the interpretation.
She is extraordinary.
She's an underclassman of my school.
Is that so?
You were in a bad mood in the morning,
do you now feel better?
The young friend here is very bright.
She's a graduate from Sang-Won's school.
This young lady here
used work at Du-On Company President Hwang's residence.
I actually met her a couple times already.
She had already made your acquaintances.
Mrs. Hwang mentioned that
you can speak 5 different languages,
is French one of them?
I can only read.
[Speaking French]
"Things as these,
other women in the same situation
would not have noticed.
But it hurt her feelings
and angered her.
Thus, the one acting as a guardian,
the girl from Bruttan, just seeing her
make her think sad things and see crazy hallucinations."
How wonderful.
Your translation is meticulous and smooth.
The students I teach, even after many years
they still may not reach your level.
You are an instructor?
She used to be a French Literature professor at a university.
Ah, I was thinking to myself why the room is filled with French novels.
Around the time Sang-Won was born,
was when I was studying for a doctorate so it was a difficult time for me.
I contemplated many times whether I should quit or not.
Ms. Suk-ryoo.
if there's something you want to study,
even after you get married and have kids, please don't give up.
Education is a personal treasure that lasts forever.
If there is anything you want to read from this room,
feel free to borrow them any time.
It's not easy to find these at bookstores, right?
You are right. There are plenty of literature in English,
but French ones are so rare and precious.
Borrow them any time.
You can come by alone,
or bring along my granddaughter for a visit.
It enlightens me to meet young people who are so bright and promising.
Mother, I must excuse myself to go prepare the meal.
Okay. I will be there soon.
Since when were you interested in French?
I became more interested while watching French movies when I was younger.
You have such a talent.
Is it almost ready?
Yes.
Go down and bring my son.
Yes, mother.
I'm so sorry. I got the rooms mixed up.
No worries.
Come on in.
Don't mind me if I do.
Is this your room, sir?
It's kind of cluttered, isn't it?
Where you read the literature is the main building,
and this is the guest house.
And this room is where I stay through my college years.
I said they can use it for different purpose,
but my mother insisted on keeping it as is.
She didn't just keep it as it was.
It almost feels as though someone has been living here all along.
That's why whenever I visit here,
it reminds me of the times back when I was in school.
Oh wow, LP records!
between Paul McCartney and John Lennon,
whose music did you like more?
Um,
When I was younger,
McCartney's,
but now,
I like John Lennon's as well.
When you think John Lennon though,
Yoko and "Working Class Hero",
aren't they the first thing on your mind?
So, still the comforting and child-likeness quality of McCartney's music
is kind of more enjoyable.
Then again, definitely
the Beatles, is the Beatles. Isn't it?
Say someone asks me
which 3 albums I would take to an island,
I would take, the Beatles...
Let me guess the rest!
Bach and Wagner, right?
Whoa, how did you know?
I noticed you listen to Bach before going to bed,
and Wagner when you wake up in the morning.
Just a sec.
I'm going to take this.
Yes, Mr. Young-Gyoon
It's me.
Yes.
Pantyhose?
I left something like that there?
You are gonna buy me food for that?
You don't have to do that.
Okay, I like that. We will do it your way.
Yes. Oh, an outing?
Um...
I'm free this Friday.
Yes.
Ah, that car from last time?
You don't have to do that.
Really, you don't have to.
Yes, I think the bus is more comfortable.
Okay then Friday at 7...
Yes, yes. I got it.
Okay.
Are you
regretting this already?
I don't want to eat.
What?
Please sit with her,
and take care of her.
Let's eat together now.
Where's her dad?
Um...
Sorry about that.
Okay, let's eat.
A button fell.
I will get you a new shirt after we eat.
Okay...
Isn't it good, father?
Uh-huh.
-Father, I need to snitch on him about something. -About what?
He's too obsessed with golf.
What are we to do with you?
I'm so bored on the weekends, mother.
Yeah, at least go together or something.
That's right!
Han-Byul, isn't the food delicious?
You are almost done already.
No, no, no.
Well then,
after such events at in-law's,
you started resenting Ms. Jang.
Yes...
No.
Come to think of it,
I started resenting her prior to that.
Maybe
even from the moment I first met her,
I might've had the desire to kill her.
She was irritable from the start anyway.
From the start?
There's an instinctive feeling, you know?
"This person is trustworthy"
"This person is dangerous"
I can sense such things.
I should have
trusted that instinct.
The feeling that
that whore is a thief.
[Monday-Tuesday Drama "Babysitter"]
She worked as a babysitter at our place.
At first, I thought she was dedicated and hard working...
So after you found out...
When is the contract up, again?
About 2 months left.
If you were committed to being a babysitter
such a trouble shouldn't have happened.
If you quit right this second,
you will be compensated handsomely.
I'm thinking about proposing to her.
What?
Both Yoo Sang-Won and Pyo Young-Gyoon are such womanizers.
Do you want to hear about the filthy-rag like weekend?
Sir!
Is everything okay?
Not only did she work hard,
she also played hard with my own husband.
What we did...
If you have regrets about what we did,
you shouldn't be here.
Does it concern you that much for me staying at that residence?
Men are all the same.
I'm not that clueless.
Marry me.
You don't even know your place, you worthless trash!
You can't even hang onto your husband and now letting it out on me?
It was your plan from the beginning, wasn't it?
I made it obvious and did everything in plain sight,
but if you make it sound like I stole him behind your back,
that makes me kind of sad.
Get your filthy body out of my house, right now!
