A Time Called You (2023) s01e11 Episode Script

It's a bit broken, as you can see.
-Hello there, sir.
-Oh, hi there.
Hello, sir. Would you be able to fix this?
Wow, this is… an old cassette player.
I'm going to bring Si-heon back to life
no matter what.
Jun-hee, I have orange and grape.
I didn't know which one you'd like more.
Hey, what's wrong, huh?
Han Jun-hee, is everything okay?
Um, why are you crying, Jun-hee?
Stay with me.
Just stand here like this for a second.
A TIME CALLED YOU
I appreciate you giving me a ride.
Hey, Jun-hee.
Uh, did something happen
earlier today at my house?
I wanna know why you were crying.
Oh, that…
I went back to the future
so I could be myself for a little while.
-Huh?
-I know I wasn't gone for very long.
But, uh, I realized
how much I really missed you, Si-heon.
Seeing you made me, um,
really emotional, you know?
That's all it was.
Strange, huh?
So, um, are you sure that, uh,
there's nothing you need to tell me?
Mm-mm.
Nothing at all. Everything's good.
Then make sure, um,
you get a good night's rest.
Also, I can give you a ride tomorrow.
Is that all right with you?
The culprit has yet to be caught.
And with Byeon Da-hyeon's case looming,
I worry for your safety.
So from now on,
I will take you to school every day.
Hmm?
Okay.
All right, go inside.
Hmm.
Min-ju!
Hey, Min-ju! Kwon Min-ju!
Min-ju, can't you hear me?
Min-ju.
Min-ju!
Kwon Min-ju! Kwon Min-ju!
Hey, Min-ju.
Where the hell am I?
Just stand here like this
for a second.
Stay with me for just a moment, okay?
Si-heon, get a move on.
Hurry, Si-heon!
Hey, Do-hun, you better get up
or you'll be late.
Ah, five more minutes.
What five minutes? Get up now!
I won't say it again.
Get ready for school.
Wash your face and pack your bag.
And you better be ready by breakfast,
you got it?
Got it… I got it, okay?
Jeez, your temper. Seriously.
Nowadays, if you're not good
at StarCraft, you're totally uncool.
You'll probably get addicted too.
What are you doing? School is this way.
Huh? Just wait a minute.
-Were you waiting for me?
-Mmm.
Put this on.
If Mom finds out about this,
that your boyfriend is taking you
to school, she'll be really upset.
-How about I tell her what you're doing?
-Hey, wait, Do-hun. Don't do that.
So this is your younger brother, huh?
I'll treat you to a meal sometime.
How about we keep this between us?
Well, I suppose
I can keep my mouth shut for now.
You better follow the speed limit.
Take care of my sister.
-I'll take good care of her.
-Off you go!
She's all grown up now.
Hey, In-gyu.
-Did you two ride together?
-Yeah.
It's probably best for Min-ju since
the culprit is still at large, you know.
Yeah, good idea. I'm really glad
you both have each other.
-Let's go.
-Mmm.
Hello, Min-ju.
Huh? Oh, uh, hello.
Hey, Min-ju.
Oh, hello.
-Hey, Min-ju.
-Huh?
I've been waiting for you. Where were you?
You were? What is it, Su-jin?
Is everything all right?
Hey, listen, it's about Da-hyeon.
On my way here, I saw that the police
were in the counseling office
with Yong-seon and Ji-hui.
Ah, um,
well, I guess those two were both
really good friends with Da-hyeon.
No, but listen.
I overheard them mention
you name to them.
Uh, they said my name?
Yeah, I am sure
I heard them talking about you.
Is there something going on?
Kwon Min-ju.
Come with me. We need to speak with you.
Okay.
I asked you to come
because I had a few questions.
Uh, okay.
Min-ju, do you have any information
regarding the murder
of your classmate Byeon Da-hyeon?
I wish I knew.
Are you being honest with us?
Yes.
Hmm.
Da-hyeon and her friends
took photos of you getting changed.
They said they hung them up
in the classroom.
Did you know anything
about the girls doing that to you?
Well, I had no idea.
The night before she was killed,
Da-hyeon put those pictures of you up
in the classroom.
The next morning,
Da-hyeon's body was found,
but the pictures were gone.
Not a single photo
was stuck on the classroom wall.
You don't know anything about that?
Huh.
I…
I don't know anything.
Sorry I'm not much help.
Okay then, that's all for now.
You're free to go.
Is that it, then?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, you can go back to class now.
O… okay.
G… Goodbye.
Goodbye.
COUNSELING OFFICE
Min-ju, wait.
Is there something wrong here?
Sorry?
When you marched into the police station
for In-gyu's sake,
you were someone else entirely.
You were more articulate
and spoke confidently.
Today, you're completely different.
Are you sure you're okay?
Yes, no need to worry.
If there's something else,
you can tell me.
Uh,
I will. I'll let you know.
I promise, mister.
Honestly, I'm okay, really.
Okay then, get back to class.
All right, I'll be going.
I spent so much time practicing,
yet I almost got caught.
I'll practice even more now.
Don't you agree with me, hmm?
Han Jun-hee?
What's this?
Did you know the whole time
that I was here?
You knew I was stuck in here,
didn't you now?
Yes.
I knew all along.
I…
I was trapped
in that very space you're in now,
watching your movement,
your tone of voice, everything about you.
You're not me, Min-ju.
Well,
I'm going to practice even more, hmm?
You just watch.
Until my imitation of you
is perfect in every way.
I'll become a better Han Jun-hee
than you ever could be. Just wait and see.
Why are you doing this, huh?
Min-ju, listen to me.
None of that matters right now.
Oh Chan-yeong is
inside his older brother's body.
He's dangerous.
He's going to kill you on October 13th,
and then he will kill Si-heon. Understand?
Listen. Hurry and tell Si-heon
what's happening
so, uh, you can both stop Chan-yeong.
Huh?
Do you understand?
Min-ju.
Do what I say.
Hey, Min-ju!
Min-ju! Wait, Min-ju!
Min-ju, wait a minute!
Min-ju, come back!
Oh, she's here.
What's going on?
Why did the police wanna talk to you?
It's because of what happened
to Da-hyeon, right?
Uh, yeah, that's right.
Um,
the officers told me they think
that Da-hyeon's case and mine
are somehow related
and I might be in danger.
I knew it.
I'm beginning to worry more for you
So what that it?
Did the police say anything else?
Maybe it'd be a good idea
for someone to, well, um,
be by my side
kind of like a bodyguard, you know.
Um, it might be best if I'm not alone.
Agreed.
You should have someone by your side.
It's probably best for your safety,
so from now on, how about I take you
to and from school, okay?
Let's hope the police department
catches him soon.
Now that he's committed murder,
he's even more dangerous.
Don't worry, okay?
I feel safe 'cause I have you guys.
So there's nothing to worry about, okay?
I'm glad
you're staying positive through all this.
Let's go back in.
Let's go.
That Kwon Min-ju,
she was acting a little strange.
Yes, it was strange. Really strange.
She looked nervous, right?
Now, was she on edge knowing
that a girl was killed? Could be.
More likely she's nervous
'cause she knows something.
You let her go
without asking any more questions?
According to Byeon Da-hyeon's friends,
the last time they spotted her was
in the hallway
some distance away from the classroom.
In that case, someone overpowered her
and then dragged her in there forcefully.
Do you think
Min-ju's strong enough to do that?
So we can exclude her
from the suspect list.
I wonder why she was nervous.
When she came to us the other day
and exonerated her friend,
that guy Jung In-gyu,
she spoke more confidently
and with great articulation.
Hmm. That's true.
But today she couldn't even
look me in the eye at all,
and she was tripping all over her words.
I wonder what she could be hiding from us.
27 RECORD
Jun-hee.
Oh!
Si-heon, you kept your word.
I told you I'd look out for you, didn't I?
Let's go, yeah?
Okay.
Thanks for walking me home
tonight, Si-heon.
Oh.
-What's this for?
-Just open it.
It's just in case…
if I ever need to get a hold of you.
I mean, how can you
not even have a pager yet?
How much did you pay for this, Si-heon?
It wasn't that expensive.
See you later.
Nam Si-heon, wait.
I wasn't sure how to express my gratitude
for the gift you gave me tonight,
so here's a kiss.
I'll see you later.
When I wake up in the morning
and walk out the front door,
I see him smile
when he comes to pick me up.
I can still feel the warmth
of his cheek against my lips.
All of these things are mine alone.
For the first time in my life,
I am not alone.
There is someone who cares about me.
Now, I ask myself, "Do I dare?"
"Do I dare to hope
for a future with this boy?"
This was never in the diary.
I never read any of this.
Min-ju what kind of game
are you playing here?
That boy is…
Koo Yeon-jun.
That boy is Koo Yeon-jun?
Wait.
Why did you write that?
Did you want me to see that?
Yeah, that's right.
I wrote that just for you to see
I was able to bring you back in time
with just a sentence from my diary.
Why?
What reason did you have to bring me
back to the year 1998?
I needed you to come back
into my body, Jun-hee.
It's the only way
for Si-heon to continue on liking me,
because without you,
Si-heon wouldn't be able to love me at all
So you see,
everything has gone according to my plan.
You saw that sentence in this diary,
and it brought you back here to me.
After all, Si-heon only likes
the version of me that's you, Jun-hee.
So you're saying that all of this
is because you're infatuated with Si-heon
and want him to like you?
So as long as
Si-heon keeps taking care of me forever,
I'm fine with acting like someone else
for the rest of my life.
You can't live like that.
You can't just be someone else, huh?
Uh, listen.
I totally understand.
I totally understand
how you feel right now.
Just know you're not alone.
I know what it's like to like someone
who doesn't like you in return.
I've been in your shoes before,
so I know where you're coming from.
I really do. I know what you're feeling.
You know what I'm feeling?
Oh really?
Then, please keep quiet.
I can do this myself, okay?
Wait a minute.
Just wait, Min-ju!
Just do me one favor.
On October 13th,
Oh Chan-yeong will kill you. Do you hear?
So on that day, don't go out. Stay home.
Whatever you do,
don't go near Oh Chan-yeong at all.
And please tell
Si-heon and In-gyu everything.
I want you to warn them about what
Chan-yeong is going to do to you.
They need to know his true identity.
It's important.
Don't you worry, Jun-hee.
I won't be killed so easily, okay?
Just listen! Just please make sure
that Si-heon and In-gyu stay safe too.
Min-ju, wait!
Min-ju, you can't do this, okay?
Just let me out.
I'm going to do
what I've been dreaming of all this time.
Your time is over, Jun-hee.
And I think
that my time is just beginning.
Okay, that's it for today.
Attention!
Everyone, ready!
-Thank you.
-Bow!
Bye.
Hey, Si-heon.
Why don't we all go to Seoul?
-Seoul?
-Mmm. And look!
I borrowed a camera
from y uncle's record shop.
So let's go.
Let's do it.
Hey, why are we at Lotte World again?
Should we have gone to Apgujeong instead?
There is a ride here I really wanted
to go on with both of you guys.
Oh, which one?
Look over there.
Let's go.
She needs our protection, In-gyu.
Ah!
Ah!
Si-heon, hey.
Are you okay?
Si-heon, do you want to ride it again?
Uh, no, thanks.
-No way.
-Let's go.
-Let's go.
-I said no! Hey! Let go of me!
-Wanna hold my hand?
-Yeah.
Hey, grab hold of her.
Whoa! Whoa!
-Hi there.
-Who are you saying hi to, Si-heon?
Everyone does this. Come on. Just do it.
Hey.
-Wait a minute.
-Hi.
-Oh, take one of us.
-Let me take a picture.
Okay.
One, two, three.
That's a great shot.
-What? Ah, don't!
-One…
-I said don't!
-Come on!
Two, three.
-Si-heon.
-Hmm?
There are
so many good restaurants in Seoul.
Why did we come all this way
for ramen, huh?
You know how on TV, everybody's always
eating ramen or fried chicken
while drinking beer by the Han River?
Mmm. I wanted to try being like them.
Now that we're here, what do you think?
It's even better
with the two of you here, hmm?
I feel like
I've become a real city person now.
All right, everyone, eat.
This looks good.
Grandma, I'm okay.
Yes, don't worry. I've eaten already.
How about you?
What are you doing?
Wow.
The Han River is really pretty at night,
isn't it?
-What is it?
-Huh?
Ah.
I just remembered
you're going to move to America soon.
I guess that means you won't be able
to see the Han River for a while.
So you should really take
in this moment right now.
Hmm.
I think I might not go.
Huh?
It's just that, uh,
In-gyu and you won't be there.
I'll be all alone in America.
I'll be bored, so what's the point, huh?
I'm thinking of living alone here.
So when the time is right,
I'll ask my parents about staying.
S… seriously?
You mean you're really
going to stay here in Korea?
Mm-hmm.
You're really serious?
Well, my parents have to say yes first.
You're being serious, right?
-These turned out great.
-Mmm, they did.
What is it?
Ah. I guess I'm just surprised is all.
I've never seen myself
smile so much before.
These days, I've seen you
laughing a lot, Jun-hee.
You never used to smile. You'd just
look at the ground all the time.
Yeah, I was like that.
-Did they turn out well?
-Yes.
Oh.
Please develop these as well.
I'll collect them later if that's okay.
Okay, come by
the day after tomorrow, all right?
Oh, and write your name
and phone number here.
PHOTO REQUES
NAME: KWON MIN-JU
-All right, thank you, sir.
-Okay, bye.
Oh, It's raining a lot.
It is.
Let's hurry and run.
Si-heon, what are you doing?
I'm getting wet.
Hurry up, Si-heon!
Let's go!
Si-heon, let's go.
Yeah.
Si-heon, go that way. Stay open!
Here! Here! Here!
In-gyu, In-gyu, In-gyu.
Rebound. Rebound.
Good job!
Again. Again.
Here! He's going in.
Here! Here!
Here you go, Si-heon.
Ugh.
That's it!
You were both really good.
See you later.
-All right, bye!
-See you.
You're acting pretty weird.
During basketball,
you seemed really distracted.
What's going on?
I've just been feeling
a bit overwhelmed today.
If you're done playing basketball,
why don't we go see a movie?
All right.
Oh, I need to check out a comic book now.
You two go ahead.
A comic book?
You can get it after the movie.
It just came out today,
so I'm afraid someone else will grab it
before I do, you know?
I hope you enjoy the movie.
I'll grab my bag, Min-ju.
Just wait here. I won't be that long.
Mmm.
What's up with you today?
So did something happen?
You've been avoiding Min-ju.
Well, Min-ju…
She's been acting a little strange lately
How so?
Until recently, Min-ju was obsessed
with finding the murderer, right?
So why is it, um,
she's completely moved on
from wanting to find who did this?
I thought Da-hyeon's murder would make her
even more concerned about this.
And what's even weirder,
Min-ju's personality.
Well, it's different again.
What are you saying?
It's just that, uh…
Uh, it's like she's now the girl we knew
from before the accident.
She acts similar to Jun-hee,
but also, something's not right.
It's like she's not really Jun-hee.
It's more like she's returned
to the Min-ju we used to know
-What are you trying to get at, Si-heon?
-I got it.
I think Kwon Min-ju
is trying to act like Jun-hee
by imitating her.
So now what?
You'll avoid her from now on?
You can't keep avoiding her forever,
you know.
-Maybe I'll ask her.
-What?
I'll ask why the sudden change? I wanna
know why she's been acting different.
And what if Min-ju's reason
isn't good enough?
Tell her she needs
to step up her acting skills?
It's not like you can just tell Min-ju
to better impersonate Jun-hee.
In-gyu, no, that's not…
Wait a minute.
What did you mean by that just now?
This whole time you
believed that Min-ju made up
the story about Han Jun-hee?
Isn't that obvious?
When she said she was from the future,
you're telling me you actually believed
everything she was saying?
Yes! She was acting like
an entirely different person, In-gyu.
At the time, you said you believed her.
You said it explained why you didn't like
her anymore, 'cause her behavior changed.
That means,
this whole time,
you've been pretending to believe?
-Why?
-Otherwise, it would've…
It would've been hard
for the two of you to remain friends.
What?
Min-ju really wants
to become the girl you like.
She wants to be your girlfriend.
What am I supposed
to say to her about that?
Besides, you two like each other.
Pretending to believe Min-ju's story
keeps the three of us on good terms.
So let's just keep doing this
for Min-ju's sake, okay?
I think
this is the best thing we can do
for Min-ju
and for our friendship right now.
So just turn a blind eye to it,
even if it is a bit embarrassing.
You can't possibly believe
what you've just said.
Back then, that girl,
she wasn't pretending to be Jun-hee.
She was Jun-hee.
How can you be sure of that?
You just want to believe she's Jun-hee.
It's because the way
she looked at me, okay?
I remember the way
she would look at me with her eyes.
That girl wasn't pretending or acting.
I know for a fact it was Jun-hee!
I remember the way
she made me feel inside.
That girl really was Han Jun-hee.
Looks like she's back for now.
My uncle had
some extra copies printed.
Here's yours.
KWON MIN-JU

NAME: KWON MIN-JU
MY UNCLE PRINTED SOME EXTRA COPIES
WHILE HE WAS AT I
I HOPE THIS MUSIC TAKES YOU
TO YOUR HAPPIEST MOMEN
Ah.
S… sir,
um, so, uh, just so you know,
we're closing soon.
I'll be quick then, hmm?
Uh-huh.
It certainly is you, Kwon Min-ju.
Yes, I could tell it was you again.
It's nice to see you back here.
You know how long I've been waiting
for the chance to finish what I started?
27 RECORD
Min-ju.
Why didn't you wait at the store?
Hey, what's wrong?
I didn't think
you were going to come tonight.
Well, I promised you
I'd protect you, didn't I?
Thank you so much.
Let's get going.
Do you remember
the first time that we came here?
Of course I remember.
It was when I stormed out
of the house and we started talking,
and that's when you shared your secret
with me about moving to America
and not to tell In-gyu.
Why are you asking about that?
Min-ju, is there a secret
you've been keeping from me?
Huh?
No, there isn't. What made you ask that?
Why?
Is there something wrong, Nam Si-heon?
So actually, the first time
I was here with Han Jun-hee…
I'm certain we didn't talk
about me going to America.
If you really were Han Jun-hee,
you would've known
what we talked about, but you don't.
She told me she thought
she had been dreaming.
Dreaming that she was Han Jun-hee
and not you
and that she had a boyfriend that was
named Yeon-jun that she really loved.
You should be telling me
about that right now.
Min-ju, tell Si-heon
the truth before it's too late.
You need to tell him
right now before…
…before it's too late.
Just be with honest with me.
Tell the truth.
You're not Jun-hee right now, are you?
You're Kwon Min-ju right now.
Isn't that right?
Hey, Si-heon, don't be ridiculous.
I'm Han Jun-hee. I always have been, okay?
I have already told you a bunch of times,
so don't ask me anymore.
Why were you talking about
Min-ju's memories before the accident?
Oh, um, uh, well, that was…
I'm sure I mentioned that already.
Uh…
Our memories must have merged into one
when I woke up in Kwon Min-ju's body.
Yeah, that's right.
Um, so of course, naturally,
I thought that story happened to me,
so I was confused.
Mmm…
Turn the picture over.
At the photo studio the other day,
I saw you
write your name down on the form.
I noticed your handwriting
and thought I was mistaken,
so I checked the cassette tape
you once gave me.
Explain why your handwriting
is someone else's entirely.
Your handwriting
should match that picture.
It doesn't, so you're lying
and you're not really her.
Min-ju, Si-heon
already has you figured out.
Just tell him the truth
before it gets worse.
Tell him before it's too late.
Go on! Tell him that you're Kwon Min-ju,
not Han Jun-hee! Please!
You are not Han Jun-hee.
That day after you left my room,
you weren't really Jun-hee anymore.
You were Min-ju. I could tell.
I knew something had changed.
Why can't you give me an answer?
Min-ju, why won't you tell me the truth?
Why are you pretending to be her?
Min-ju, please answer Si-heon.
He needs to know the truth.
Tell him Chan-yeong
is using the body of his older brother,
and that you are in danger.
Tell him that if no one stops him,
that you are going to die.
Hurry up and tell him!
Ah, quiet!
Stop it! Stop it!
Just stop…
If I…
if I tell you the truth…
what will happen after that?
What if I tell you that…
that Han Jun-hee is gone forever
and that she might never ever come back?
Will you still like me
after that, Si-heon?
Will you continue to be nice to me?
Will you keep smiling at me?
Keep talking to me?
Will you still like me, Si-heon?
-Min-ju, I--
-Forget it.
I… I know what you're going to say,
so it's probably best if I leave.
Min-ju, wait.
Just answer me one thing.
Can I ever see Jun-hee again?
When will she time travel back here?
What do I have to do?
Is there anything you can tell me?
Will I ever be able to meet her again?
How would I even know the answer to that?
Did you really believe that a girl
from the future invaded my body
and that was the girl
you fell in love with?
The entire story was made-up, Si-heon.
It was all fake. Do you understand?
Han Jun-hee
was just a character I made up.
A figment of my imagination
all because you
weren't interested in me to begin with.
I was pretending so you would like me.
Don't listen to her.
Min-ju, please don't do this.
Min-ju, please. What are you doing?
The confident and charming
Han Jun-hee from the year 2023.
The Jun-hee who couldn't forget
about her boyfriend Koo Yeon-jun
until the day she dies.
It's all just one big fake story
that you fell for.
So…
so even if there was an afterlife,
you'd never see Jun-hee again,
because I made her all up, Si-heon.
So what you're saying is Han Jun-hee…
was all from your imagination?
Uh-huh.
So she was never real, then.
And I will never get
to meet her ever again.
Yes, because it was always
one big lie from the very start.
