That's okay.
EPISODE 4
FLUENT IN KOREAN
CAN'T EAT SPICY FOOD
REQUESTS 10 TOOTHBRUSHES EVERY DAY
"Ian Norman Chase."
Hey!
DECEMBER, 1994
Hey, why did you pat me
on the head earlier?
Why did you pat me on the head?
Kids, let's take a photo.
Hurry and gather around.
Hurry up.
-Okay!
-Okay!
-Let's go!
-Where?
It wasn't me who patted you on the head.
Dummy.
What?
What does he think I am, his toy?
I'll take it now.
Guys, be still. Don't move.
Hey, kid. Come pose with your book.
Let's take a photo.
Come on.
Big smiles, everyone. Here we go.
You, on the right side,
please come forward.
Guys, look at the camera.
One, two…
This is it.
May I see a list of the members
from back then?
There isn't one.
This church is not related
to the previous one.
It's a normal church now.
The pastor is an upright man,
and the workers are good people.
I'm sure they are.
Then did the previous church have issues?
Not all churches are real churches.
They were a cult.
The pastor wasn't even a real pastor.
Follow that road, and you'll see
a childcare facility
that they ran below the mountains.
They committed all sorts of crimes there.
Locking up missing kids, adopting children
illegally, and abusing them.
Some of the workers even went to jail
for those crimes.
If there are any records,
the police must have them.
NANUM JEIL PRAYER HOUSE
I just don't get Young-do.
Why did he marry her?
Out of pity?
Because she threw herself at him?
Because she's pretty?
Marrying a pretty woman
after getting seduced
then getting a divorce soon after
is something I would do, not him.
What?
I agree with you for once.
I just want a girlfriend.
I think my dryer shrinks my clothes.
I doubt it.
Then what?
See you tomorrow.
PSYCHIATRIST JU YOUNG-DO
-You're not busy.
-You startled me.
What's with that look?
Were you waiting for someone?
Aren't you closed for the day?
I saw the nurses leaving.
Why are you here?
-For the pizzas.
-You didn't have to come here.
You weren't picking up.
You just earned money. Buy me dinner.
I have plans. Eat with your boyfriend.
Am I not allowed to eat with you
if I have a boyfriend?
-Of course not.
-I see.
What's this?
Have you moved on from Spider-Man?
It's not like that. Can you put that back?
Had you not said that,
I would've put it down.
Was this your delivery fee?
It's not like that. Put it back down.
Or give it to me.
Hey, you. You have a horrible body ratio.
Isn't your head heavy?
-Should I snap your neck?
-Hey.
I really need to get going now.
Let's talk in the car. Drop me off.
Let's talk outside.
Come out.
I'm headed to the police station.
It's in the opposite direction.
You play with toy figures,
visit the police,
and even deliver food.
But you have no time for me.
What do you need to tell me?
Just say it now.
If you want to date someone, go ahead.
Honestly, I'd hate that, but I don't
want to be such an awful person.
And if I start hating myself,
the crazy woman in me
will creep out again.
Then I'll become unstable
like a three-legged chair once again.
You have my permission. You may date.
I didn't know I needed your permission,
-but thanks.
-You're really going to?
-No.
-Are you already dating?
-No, I'm not.
-Is there someone?
-No.
-Is it a one-sided love?
Love? I'm in no position to--
Why not? You're single.
-Well, that's true.
-What is it?
Does she not like you
because you're divorced?
Or is it because you were married
to someone so gorgeous and famous?
-If that's not it…
-That's not it.
Is it because of your heart?
Because you might die in ten years?
-So everything's good with you?
-Don't change the subject.
If you're doing okay and you're done--
Have you ever thought of me as a woman?
Not as someone suicidal
or a patient you want to save,
but as a woman
you want to touch and embrace?
-Ga-yeong--
-You changed the subject
when I asked you that six years ago.
Because you don't want to lie.
No one knows what'll happen in ten years.
I had my reasons to go to Gangneung.
And she just lives upstairs from me.
That's all.
-I really need to--
-Don't tell me to go.
I'll leave on my own.
Now that you're gone,
we'll see where Young-do's heart lies.
Oh. Hello.
-Oh, hello.
-Hi.
What brings you here?
If you're too busy, I can come next time.
It's okay. Please sit down.
Okay. Thank you.
Goodness. You've made a pretty shape
out of the cigarette butts.
You should've called beforehand.
I came because I wanted to ask you
some questions.
Then I'm glad you're here.
Did…
Choi Jeong-min…
have any brothers?
I saw someone who looked
exactly like him today.
I see.
You saw someone similar.
No, they looked identical.
He had the same smile and voice.
He didn't have any family,
let alone brothers.
We checked all his background information,
so I'm sure it's accurate.
How could they look so identical
when they're not even related?
Well…
Do you know his name?
We'll look into him if it's possible.
I'm afraid I can't disclose that.
Okay. I understand.
Well…
About that group photo
you took at the church…
Is there anything you remember about it?
It's nothing serious.
We need to check a few things
before wrapping up the case.
All I remember is
that I went there to get a book.
I'll look into it too.
My brother went there with me.
I'll ask him.
Okay.
Stop eating the zucchini.
They're really expensive, you know?
I'll pay.
Help yourself then.
Hey!
Come eat some!
Hurry up.
I have no appetite
and can't stomach anything.
Isn't your daughter getting married?
Life should be rosy right now.
Are you sick?
It feels like a huge rock
is suffocating me.
Maybe I didn't get enough sleep.
Should I pack some food for you?
-It's okay.
-Oh, dear.
Does she only have one arm or what?
Why is she carrying them in one hand?
The pain-relief patches
don't work anymore.
Damn it! If I were her,
I would've gotten a divorce already.
How can he call himself
a husband and a father?
He has all the despicable traits.
He's an abusive alcoholic who gambles
and cheats on his wife.
Does she not know
that she can file for divorce?
It's quite useful.
She puts up with him because he needs
to walk their daughter down the aisle.
Their future son-in-law is a doctor.
No, was it a judge?
It's all downright ridiculous.
If either of the families is
much better off than the other,
then eventually…
What? Are you done eating?
The zucchini is bitter.
All of a sudden?
Ms. Kang was here.
When?
Just now. She talked with me and left…
I think something's going on.
Why? Did something happen to her?
I mean, you.
You can call her if it's urgent.
It's not urgent, and we're not close.
Are you avoiding each other?
Not really.
We're just neighbors.
She's upstairs. I'm downstairs. Give me…
Up, down, up, up, down
Up, down, up, up, down
Take this.
2021 CHOI JEONG-MIN SUICIDE CASE
By the way,
why did Ms. Kang come here?
She asked if Choi Jeong-min had
any brothers.
She saw someone who looked just like him.
-Where?
-Seeing how she couldn't tell me,
he must've been her hotel guest.
Do you remember going to some church
when we were little?
I do.
Really? You were tiny back then.
I remember. You brought me chocolate.
It was a book.
You brought both.
It was bell-shaped.
We put it underneath our blanket
and it melted.
We didn't want Mom to find out, so we
washed it in the bathroom but got caught.
What?
Was it Ga-yeong?
Gosh, Ga-yeong.
Gosh, Ga-yeong.
Punch. Punch into it.
Why aren't you picking it up?
Don't mind it.
How can I not when it's ringing?
Here.
I'm going to give him an earful.
He hung up.
Let's see how many times he called.
Eleven missed calls. All from Ju Young-do.
Will you still deny it?
What is it this time?
You're pretty good.
Wait.
Darn it.
What are you doing here?
I like toy figures.
Grown men are allowed to like them
as well.
That's true.
Right.
"Hi. It's nice to meet you. You too.
Let's kiss."
"Let's kiss."
Do you want them?
-Oh, dear.
-They're twins.
I don't usually play like this.
Didn't you say you'd be done
in five minutes?
A few days ago, a young lady
wrestled with this just like you,
demanding Dr. Hollow.
She's here.
Did you guys make a bet or something?
-No, we didn't.
-No, we didn't.
Here's your 20,000 won. No more.
I have no more coins left.
How could he spend
tens of thousands won on that?
I'm sorry. I lost your gift.
I'm trying to get the same one.
You really didn't have to do this.
They don't have
many Dr. Hollow figures here.
Tell me about it.
I got nine Bad Choice figures.
I mean, they're all the same size
in the picture.
It suggests that
the chances of getting them are equal.
If this was a rare item,
they should've said so.
This company lured consumers
with false advertising.
Oh, the coins.
-Here.
-Okay.
Open it.
Wrong one.
Here.
Look at this!
We got it!
-What's going on?
-We finally got it.
I heard you went to the police station.
Are you a side mirror?
"Objects in mirror are closer
than they appear."
Then you must know why I went there.
Yes.
There's a movie called
The Double Life of Veronique.
It's not some raunchy movie.
I didn't say anything.
Two female characters are born
at the same time and look identical.
One is Polish, and the other is French.
They're neither related nor have met,
but they can feel each other.
When one of them dies,
the other bursts into tears
without knowing why.
A doppelgänger.
Do you think they exist?
Maybe.
I expected you to say
that people mistake one for another
and lecture me about the brain structure.
Once you've lost someone dear to you,
you're willing to believe anything.
Things like souls, heaven,
reincarnation. Everything.
"Now that they're free from pain,
they must be flying anywhere they want.
They must be enjoying all the food
they craved down here
and feeling joy.
If I pine for them,
they may come back as the wind
and brush by me."
It's my mom.
Right. Sure. Go ahead.
Okay.
Hey, Mom.
I'm on my way home.
-Are you alone?
-Yes. Why?
I thought you were with someone
since you didn't pick up right away.
Perhaps Young-do or someone like Young-do.
Are you a security camera?
Mr. Hong gave me honey.
Oh, my. What a sweet gentleman.
He keeps giving you presents.
Tangerines, rice cakes, and honey.
He may get me taffies next time.
Is Young-do doing well?
Mom, you two are close now?
No. That's why I'm asking you.
If we were, I would've called him.
It's not like you're friends with him.
Why would you call him?
Then are we friends? I call you every day.
What I mean is Mr. Ju…
Yes?
What's going on? What is it?
Did an ugly guy follow you?
No, Mom. I just met Mr. Ju.
Really? Let me speak to him.
Mom, I'll call you back…
Let me talk to him.
-Mom.
-Do you not get me?
Put your phone to Young-do's ear!
-My mom…
-Okay.
Hello, Ju Young-do speaking.
Have you been well?
I forgot to pay you for your help
last time.
What should we do? Should I go there?
Or will you come here?
It's okay, ma'am.
Thanks to you…
I got thrown into the ocean
and even delivered pizza.
Right? You're right.
I did give you quite a few nice memories.
That's right. Thank you.
Since you're a psychiatrist,
let me ask you something.
Today, I saw this woman.
She seemed to be in a lot of pain.
A human side mirror
and a human security camera are
talking on the phone.
I don't get why she just puts up with it.
No wonder she has indigestion
and feels pain in her wrists.
That's a mental illness, right?
Her wrists must hurt
due to something else.
As for indigestion and insomnia,
it's a somatization disorder.
Did you just curse at me?
No, I didn't.
It's when you feel physical pain
due to stress.
It happens when you're exasperated.
Why did you have to use jargon
when you could use layman's terms?
Is it because you want to make use
of the difficult medical terms
you memorized when you were a student?
Right. I wonder why I did that.
A side mirror and a security camera
are talking on the phone
for a very long time.
It's all for her daughter?
If that's true,
it's such a ridiculous excuse.
Would she be happy?
She's forced to watch her mom
wither away like a bridal wreath.
That's just downright ludicrous.
I refuse to live like that.
Look at Da-jeong.
You can tell, right?
Both she and I are beautiful
and confident.
You're right. I completely agree with you.
Okay.
All right. Good night.
The security camera is turned off.
And the side mirror has left.
Due to Chairman Ma Jae-guk
being bedridden,
his son and daughter are fighting
to lead the company.
Correct. This has caught
both the stock street
and the media's attention.
As his health worsened,
we assumed that
one of his children would replace him.
However, seeing that the US medical team
arrived, the tables are turned now.
They must be the US medical team.
THE US MEDICAL TEAM FLIES IN DISCREETLY
They're known for performing surgery
on the former US president, Josh.
The team is led by Doctor Bale…
There's also one Korean American doctor.
The public believes they flew in
to treat the chairman.
But we can assume it's related
to the succession battle.
That's correct.
Majin Hospital is the core
of the foundation,
so it's crucial to obtain control over it.
The chairman's children,
Ma Jeong-a and Ma Sang-yong,
-are trying to replace…
-Mom.
Give me the remote control.
-Mom!
-The doctors' strike…
If you can't let me do anything,
could you at least let me know
if he's here right now?
I just need to give him this.
What did she say?
She refuses to give me
the guest's information.
I left the file with her.
Will you waste your time like this?
The higher-ups want us
to wrap this case up and move on.
We need to investigate to close the case.
His death didn't make sense.
Someone who looks like him
showed up. I should check him out.
That's true, but there's no way
to meet him right now.
CHIEF
This is a mess.
Hey.
You can recognize Choi Jeong-min's face
immediately, right?
Of course. It was my first autopsy.
Then tail him for the next two days.
You want me to tail him?
Is it legal? Will I get in trouble later?
You know how it's done, right?
Report whenever he goes somewhere.
Refrain from eating
or going to the bathroom.
I'm counting on you.
But…
I'm famished.
How? You haven't done anything.
I'm eating this.
How did you know it was for you?
His name's on it.
My name?
SEUNG-WON
Hamster cookies?
Did you name a rat after me?
-You're so quick-witted.
-Hamsters are like that.
Name a handsome dog after me
like you did with Young-do.
I hate rats.
-And we hate you.
-That's right.
Guys, you should eat.
-Right.
-Okay.
He can't wait to eat.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
VETERINARY CLINIC
OPENING SOON
Da-jeong.
Kang Da-jeong.
-What?
-Can we eat here?
Sure. You always do.
Guys, come up!
Who are you talking to?
Didn't you mean you and Eun-ha?
This is my friend, Seo Ha-neul,
who moved into the second floor.
-I'm Kang Da-jeong.
-Hello.
What a lovely name.
Hello, I'm Young-do's high school friend.
Ignore him.
Hello.
I'm single, smart, and passionate.
He's just a lunatic.
-I'm a producer at TVC.
-His nickname is 1,000 Won.
That's not true.
For you, I can make it 500 won.
That's too bad. I only have 50 won.
That's okay.
May I have your business card?
I'm actually 50 won in debt.
That's enough.
That's still okay.
Stop embarrassing me.
What? I'm just being myself.
You're being weird today.
Stop it.
Stop giving women your business card.
Wait.
Then you've never dated anyone before?
Of course, I have.
I've met loads of women.
I told you. Dreams don't count.
My gosh.
Young-do, you've seen my girlfriend.
The short, chubby girl.
Right.
Short and chubby? It doesn't ring a bell.
You know. Her hair was this long.
She had a pale face and big eyes.
Right. Hair this long, pale face,
and big eyes.
A Maltese.
No, that's not it.
If the hair is this long…
There's this breed whose ears
flap around when running.
It was a human being. A woman.
What was it again?
Do you know what breed
flaps their ears when running?
-Cocker Spaniels.
-Cocker Spaniels.
Cocker Spaniels.
You were born in early 1985.
You're younger than us.
Right. I envy you for being older.
But you took a gap year.
Exactly. How dare you eat
at the same table as your seniors?
Young-do, whose side are you on?
I'm upside.
I guess smart people are just like us.
So this is how he acts around his friends.
Why are you still single?
Mind your own business.
He does his best to keep women
away from him.
You're right.
-Be honest. You're dating, right?
-You're still here?
Did you know that he went to Gangneung
with some girl?
-And he drove all the way.
-No way.
He hates expressways.
Remember our road trip?
Yes. He hated tunnels,
so we only used national highways.
Gangneung?
There are tunnels back to back.
Did you drive the entire way there
when you guys went to Gangneung?
Did you two go together?
You two?
You two?
Hey. Thanks for the drinks. We should go.
-No, I'm having fun.
-Thanks.
Come out. It's time for you to leave.
-Just you two?
-Come on.
-Ha-neul.
-Yes?
See you next time, Young-do's girlfriend.
What?
What?
What is it? What?
Thank you.

KO JIN-BOK
Please call us.
A-ri.
Can you please tell him
that he looks really weird right now?
I agreed to say it just 10 times,
but I've said it 12 times.
I won't say it anymore.
He's pretty much begging his blind date
to spit in his face, isn't he?
But it doesn't seem too bad now.
What?
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Ha-neul.
Are you okay…
No, you're not. Is something wrong?
-Young-do got hurt.
-What?
How? How bad is it?
-Where is he right now?
-I don't know either.
NO CONSULTATION TODAY
JU YOUNG-DO PSYCHIATRY CLINIC
CHEOL-DO
The person you are trying to reach
is unavailable…
Why isn't he picking up?
Hello.
Come on.
What?
Where's Mr. Ju?
He's at the hospital.
-Which one?
-Majin Hospital.
Where he sees his outpatients.
Why are you whispering?
Is everything okay?
It's nothing serious, right?
I can't talk right now.
Is it that bad? Just answer this.
I can't talk. I'll call you later.
I'm heading over there right now.
I'll call you when I get there,
so pick up.
Okay?
Hello?
I'm sorry,
but something came up at home.
Oh, what is it?
My grandmother is ill.
What happened?
She's just a bit sick.
I see.
Then should I call you tomorrow?
Actually, I'm going abroad to study
tomorrow.
What?
You're studying abroad?
What's wrong with him?
He received coil embolization
for subarachnoid hemorrhage a week ago.
No!
-Give him 5ml of haloperidol.
-Okay.
How long has he been delirious?
He started hallucinating and seizing
two days ago.
The doctor wanted to observe him
until today.
Doctor. Help.
Go away.
No!
-Young-do.
-Hey, Ju-won.
You haven't eaten yet.
I had no time.
Tending to the patients here
must be tough.
I heard you even went to the ER.
It can't be helped due to the strike.
You must be busy too.
I heard Professor Seok asked you
to work here.
Yes, he did.
I'd accept the offer if I were you.
I prefer working at my clinic.
How's your heart?
Has it been okay since last fall?
Yes, it's all thanks to you.
I'm healthy.
Here we go again.
-I'll get going then.
-Good luck.
MISSED CALLS
KANG DA-JEONG
-Why didn't you pick up?
-Why don't you pick up your phone?
You're…
You're not hurt anywhere?
Are you upset that I'm not hurt?
-Then what am I doing here?
-Exactly.
What are you doing here?
Are you okay?
What is this?
Is this a prank?
This is why I told him
not to name his dogs after people.
Well, it's not wrong to give a dog
a human name.
If only Cheol-do had told me properly…
Are you sleeping well?
Right. We agreed
not to ask these questions.
-Forget it.
-What do you mean?
It's too late for us
to drink as strangers now.
And I was the one who overreacted first.
Why did I come here?
Why did I blow up your phone?
You were worried. It's understandable.
I'm getting better.
But I don't think I'm fully there yet.
Every time I hear an ambulance, I…
That's okay.
You're still recovering.
Will I ever fully heal?
I didn't know I was this fragile
like glass.
No, you have a bulletproof mentality.
That's from The Man from Nowhere.
"This is bulletproof, you son of…"
Son of what? Did you just curse?
A foul mouth?
I didn't. I reacted quickly
and stopped before I said it.
What's wrong with cursing?
It helps.
So what if it's just glass,
not bulletproof?
You can go to a hospital if it breaks.
That's what my profession is for.
You're right.
Still…
I'm going to
do my best to stay strong.
I wanted to tell her this.
"It's okay to break down.
You don't have to fight it.
It's okay to hold on
to somebody as you get back up."
And I almost slipped
and told her this as well.
"I hope…
that I can be that somebody."
Look at how handsome Young-do is.
-Shouldn't you be working?
-I'm taking a break.
-Just a breather.
-I see.
But why are you resting at my office?
Seeing you comforts me.
HA-NEUL VETERINARY CLINIC
DIRECTOR SEO HA-NEUL
Why?
Because at least
I've been in a relationship before.
I have too.
But it was in your dreams.
Do you believe that?
I want to believe
that there's someone lonelier than me.
It's not true.
I have a messy private life.
I'm actually a pretty promiscuous man.
Do you know what a libertine is?
I've done all sorts of things.
That's the kind of person I am.
Libertine reminds me of saltine crackers.
Would you like some saltine crackers?
I'll have my own snack.
In your dreams?
My father's belongings are in here,
but I'm not sure you'll find
what you're looking for.
-Look around.
-Thank you.

This is Mom's honey.
I have my own bottle,
so you can have it for yourself.
Let me go to the restroom.
The man you're meeting is over there.
Excuse me.
May I have a word with you?
Okay.
We met at the hotel, right?
Yes.
If you work there, you must know who I am.
I do.
-What's your name?
-Kang Da-jeong.
Do you also know
a man who looks exactly like me?
Choi Jeong-min.
Do you know him?
What makes you think you can ask me
such a question?
Are you a bereaved family member? Do you
want my apology since I look like him?
I don't care what happened to you.
It has nothing to do with me anyway. So…
you'd better not be curious about me.
Never again.
Don't look at me
like that…
ever again.
-What's going on?
-Ian.
A few people mistook him like you did.
Please understand.
It's okay.
I'm the one who made a mistake,
and he's right.
I knew he wasn't that man,
but I couldn't stop staring at him
or feeling afraid.
Of course, he's offended.
I'm sorry.
I apologize for raising my voice.
Should I drive you home?
No, get back to work. I'm okay.
Have something to drink.
You must be extremely curious
and confused.
It is a bit baffling.
But as long as you're okay, I'm fine.
I'm okay.
I actually feel relieved.
I thought he was a ghost.
But he talked and got mad.
He's just a person.
I'm not as scared as before.
Let's go inside.
It's a record of adoptions, right?
The pastor's surname was Kim,
so why did he register them all as Hongs?
We need to figure out
what these numbers mean.
Here.
THE START OF A SUCCESSION BATTLE AT MAJIN?
Isn't it odd?
It's not a face you see every day.
Yes?
Good work today. You can go home.
Bye.
I had Detective Park
tail him for a few days.
Nothing stood out.
He went from the hotel to the hospital,
jogged, then bought a book.
Can we run this list
by the travel records?
If this really is a record
of illegal adoptions…
You think they're twins, right?
Hello, Chief.
Yes. I'm still here.
Yes, sir.
POLICE LINE
DO NOT CROSS
Did Santa give you those?
Did he finish pooping?
Yes. He did.
But why didn't I see him back there?
He was hiding underneath the tree.
I see.
Then where is he now?
Is he still underneath the tree?
Or did he drive back home?
I'm not sure.
It wasn't me who patted you on the head.
Dummy.
What?
If I may,
can I ask about your relationship
with Choi Jeong-min?
I don't need to answer that.
It can feel tingly and excited.
It's understandable. Right?
Why? It was nice.
This is why you're a flirt.
There are so many weird people.
I SEND YOU THIS SONG
JU YOUNG-DO
UNSOLVED
Don't forget
how far I went for you.
What crazy things
do you want to do?
