Episode 15
The Game Determining Short-Stop Decision
Short-stop Decision: The short-stop throws the ball to take out the runner closer to home plate.
Dong Soo.
Park Mu Yeol. We have dragged this on way too long.
I should've ended it earlier.
What's wrong with you?
You still don't get it?
Try to put yourself in my shoes for once. You will know then.
So... You sent those pictures.
You killed Jong Hee's cat. And...
Yes. I ripped the paintings...
I put in methanol in your drink.
Why would you?
So try to put yourself in my shoes!
Park Mu Yeol. You're the proof that I failed at my life.
When I was on the National Team, what were you doing?
When I was drafted the 1st round, which round were you?
7th? 8th? Or did you walk-in after?
You know how it feels to lose to that?
I'm only 34 years old. And I'm getting kicked out from the team without even an injury.
So... It was all you?
Do you understand now?
You were a nobody to me. That's why I was nice to you.
No... It can't be you.
That's not true!
Why not? Why can't I hate you?
Just being next to you makes me feel like a failure.
Your very existence makes me feel like a loser.
Why can't I be the stalker then!
But it's not you!
Yes. I knew you wouldn't believe it.
You're such an idiot. Do what you want.
Believe what you want to believe and die.
Are you ok?
Why? Why? Why?
But it wasn't you.
Please.
Jin Dong Soo. Get up!
Let go! Let go! Let go!
Let's be careful with her.
Where are you going?
Home. I can't get hold of Dong Soo.
It's no use.
What do you mean?
He's not home right now.
How do you know?
Where did he go?
Is something going on? Mom!
He should be at the police station by now.
He decided to take the blame for you.
What are you talking about? What did I do?
Do you really not remember anything?
Mom!
You...
You ripped all of Jong Hee's paintings.
Me?
Yes. I did everything.
On November 25th,
Did you try to poison Park Mu Yeol by putting in methanol in his drinks?
Yes, I did it.
Where did you get the methanol?
They use methanol to clean the machines at the club.
I had it for that purpose.
On Dec. 28th, did you kill the cat that belonged to Kang Jong Hee, Park Mu Yeol's girlfriend,
and put the dead cat by the door?
Yes. I did it.
Motivation?
I saw Park Mu Yeol fail once because of Kang Jong Hee.
I used Kang Jong Hee to get to Park Mu Yeol.
On January 9th,
did you get into the room in the gallery and rip Kang Jong Hee's 25 paintings?
And did you steal a piece?
Yes. For the same reason.
I have the stolen painting in my trunk.
Did you send these photos before doing all of these incidents?
Yes, I admit everything.
Why would you go so far to ruin Park Mu Yeol's life?
I think it was jealousy.
Go!
Get out! Get out!
Let go!
Isn't this what you wanted?
Is Park Mu Yeol...
How is he doing?
I can't even bear to see him.
Can I see him for a sec?
I don't think he can see anyone at the moment.
I'm sorry, but I really have something to tell him.
It will only take a second.
Wait a second here then.
I'm sorry. He doesn't want to see anyone.
You have to eat!
Later.
Ok. I will be here, so ask me when you need anything.
Thank you.
For?
You convinced the journalists to stop the articles from coming out.
I didn't do anything.
Dong Soo had a such a good reputation.
You never know. Had he been a big star...
There would have been articles no matter what.
I was even struck on the back of my head, but I still can't believe it.
Had I not seen it for myself, I would have said that it was a lie.
Don't stalkers normally stalk the opposite sex?
Girls to guys...
Guys to girls. But what the heck?
Jin Dong Soo was Park Mu Yeol's stalker?
Did Jin Dong Soo like Park Mu Yeol?
You're so stupid. Do your homework!
You call yourself a reporter?
Hey! That's not the only kind of stalker in the world.
Why would Jin Dong Soo do that to Park Mu Yeol then?
Gosh, you're so annoying.
Mr. Suh Yoon Yi?
Yes.
Hi.
You've heard already right? There are 5 participants including the host.
The discussion will be approximately 2 hours.
The subject is just like the outline I sent you last time.
Follow me first.
I wanted to apologize one more time for this incident.
The insurance company will compensate for the pieces that were lost.
Where's Mrs. Lim?
The director resigned after taking the responsibilty for the incident.
Oh Soo Young. ..
Aren't you going to see her?
I don't know what kind of face I should make to her.
I bet she feels the same.
-Is this everything? -I'm going to take other stuff by hand.
This is a gift.
Wow? A gift?
Wow! This will give me nightmares!
I guess I won't see you again.
Yeah. We do live in different worlds.
Can you not do that?
I don't want do.
Aren't you going to go to Park Mu Yeol?
I heard that he hasn't come out of his room for days.
You can go.
He says that he doesn't want to see me.
So you just left?
Why do you only worry about things?
If you're worried go in there. Go see his face.
If you don't know what to do, ask him, "What do you want me to do?"
What if he doesn't like it?
Maybe he really wants to be left alone.
You are really selfish.
Huh?
You worry about getting hurt more than how much pain Mu Yeol is going through right now.
Director Kim came today.
He asked if you can go to the camp.
I already told him that you can't go.
You can go by yourself later.
I thought that it wasn't really important at the moment.
Other people won't understand.
They won't understand how hard this is for you. What you're going through.
I understand.
Even if no one understands you, I understand.
So don't think that you're alone. Ok?
I will come early tomorrow.
Thanks, Aunt.
Don't say that.
Umm...
It's me, Yoo Eun Jae.
The retard.
I'm coming in.
Umm...
I want to do something for you.
But I didn't know what to do.
I know that it's hard.
I don't know what I should do.
I will just stay quietly here.
Tell me if I'm bothering you. I will go.
What took you so long?
What?
You were too late.
Thank you.
For what?
For leaning on me.
On the batting chance, I made a hit right through the short stop.
Dong Soo then ran... and everyone thought the same thing,
"He's going to run to the second base."
Because then it was going to be a cycling hit.
But then he ran all the way to third base.
And he even slid.
He was really good at sliding.
I saw Dong Soo for the first time at the semi-finals in high school.
I was in middle school, and he was in high school.
He got the final run by sliding.
He had to be out for sure.
He turned 180 degrees sliding with his head first.
He came in and then... That dust.
I lost my front tooth and got two fractures on my ribs. Bruises all over my body.
He really beat me up. Dong Soo...
He was so sincere about it.
I was getting hazy, then he yelled...
"This is what you guys wanted! Are you happy now?"
I asked him later.
Was he really going to quit baseball, if I quit baseball?
Were you just bluffing?
And he told me...
It's not him.
He would never do that to me.
But.
He must have had a reason.
Who is it?
Hello!
What are you doing?
Was I a bit rude?
You can call the police.
What do you want?
Can I take a seat?
I heard that the stalker has been caught.
How did you do that?
I don't know what you're talking about.
If you're not going to talk, I will have to go to the cops.
With that.
You don't have be so cautious with me.
I was only curious.
I heard that you got along with Park Mu Yeol for a very long time.
What is the reason that you're doing this?
You have some sort of grudge against him?
I don't.
Then... Money?
If it's not a grudge or money, then... Love? Love?
I guess it could be love.
I'm sorry. I'm getting wrong ideas here since you won't talk.
What is it?
Do you really want to know?
Yes. If it sounds reasonable, I may be of help.
Fine. I will tell you everything.
I think it's going to be a long story.
You want a cup of tea?
I'm fine.
I need some.
We must prove that he's not the stalker first.
In order to do that...
What do we have to do?
What?
You didn't have a plan?
Get the real stalker!
Yes!
In order to catch her...
Are you stuck again?
It's because I'm hungry.
I will be good after I eat.
You said that want to know why I did that to Park Mu Yeol?
Where should I start?
I met him 12 years ago.
When he was a junior in high school.
He already parted his ways with his mother.
His father had someone else.
As soon as he got into college, he got married again.
Mu Yeol moved out.
And since then I was the only family to him.
I was his family.
But what was I to Mu Yeol?
Mom? Aunt?
Then one day he got really sick.
He had fever up to 40 degrees Celsius.
He couldn't even go to the bathroom alone.
That's when I realized:
Mu Yeol needs me.
To be needed by someone is so sweet.
Then I realized again.
I also need Mu Yeol.
Why isn't this love?
It's ok if you call me crazy.
You can say that it's disgusting.
But you can't say that this isn't love.
Suh Yoon Yi!
I told you!
Eating will get me thinking.
If you're going to talk to yourself do it in your head!
Or explain so that others can understand you.
Otherwise, just explanation explanation let people to figure out how to do something?
Director Kim told me.
The stalker must have watched Suh Yoon Yi for a long time.
So was Dong Soo near Suh Yoon Yi?
We will have to look into that first.
Oh!
Jin Dong Soo was arrested at the crime scene.
I know. He also confessed everything.
I heard.
Among them there is information that only the stalker would know.
But still Dong Soo is not it.
I can't explain it.
But I'm certain.
Yeah! Dong Soo wouldn't do that.
You know!
Right?
Everyone has a tendency to commit crimes.
Yes.
Also jealousy was the first motivation of crime in Bible.
It's one of the 7 sins.
How would you explain Dong Soo helping Park Mu Yeol up until now then?
Yeah! Explain that!
Dong Soo helped him everytime whenever this dog was going to ruin his own life!
Right?
Is that dog referring to me?
Let it go.
People have polarities.
Enough!
Do a rock-paper-scissors.
What?
Do a rock-paper-scissors to decide whether to help me or not.
Rock-paper...
You said that you can't get a hold of Suh Yoon Yi?
Right. I called him all night last night.
He wouldn't answer the phone.
Then let's go check out Suh Yoon Yi's place.
Do you know where he lives?
Yes.
I remember!
You're the one that saved me from Suh Yoon Yi right?
At Bong Chun!
I always had your face in my head.
Now I remember.
I couldn't even thank you back then.
Thank you!
I don't know what you're talking about.
Can't you recognize me?
I had glasses on and hair like this.
You saved me with the criminal alarm.
I never did that.
Huh?
I think you're mistaken.
I've never even been there.
It wasn't me.
Pay attention!
It's a secret that we're pursuing the real stalker.
That way we can get her while her guard is down.
What?
Did I just sound really smart?
What does Kang Jong Hee plan to do?
What?
If the real stalker still exists,
wouldn't it be dangerous to leave Kang Jong Hee alone?
No, I didn't see him today.
Have you seen someone like this with Suh Yoon Yi?
Who is he?
Do you know this person then?
If Jin Dong Soo was going to take the blame for someone else,
I tried to think of who it could be.
I don't know this person either.
Sorry to bother you.
Umm... Umm...
If you do get to see Yoon Yi,
can you tell him that I'm waiting for him at home?
Ok.
There is no trace of Jin Dong Soo nearby Suh Yoon Yi.
It's strange.
Suh Yoon Yi did not come home last night.
Ok then.
Are you ok?
Don't worry too much.
Even if we run into him, I...
-It was that lady for sure. -Huh?
Is it true that call records are left on cell phones?
Yes.
Even if it's a few days ago?
Yes.
Can you look up the records from two weeks ago?
I borrowed her phone to call you.
It was 11:12PM.
This is the number.
You're the one who saved me from Suh Yoon Yi aren't you?
At Bong Chun!
Hello?
Are you the maid at Park Mu Yeol's place?
Yes. Can I help you?
Who is this?
I told you! She saved me.
Why would she hide that fact?
What brings you here?
I heard that you were leaving today.
Yes.
I have a cab coming soon.
Really?
You must not have a lot of time then.
Yeah.
This ring.
It went back to your finger.
I barely got it off you.
Aunt?
What again?
Do you know this person then?
I don't know. I don't know.
Suh Yoon Yi.
He could be in danger.
What is it that you can't say over the phone?
Take a seat first.
What is it?
We're confirming it.
Please wait a moment.
What is it?
Hi.
Miss.
Do you know this person?
It's an important matter with Park Mu Yeol involved.
Do you know her?
She used to work at my place.
Director Kim.
Ok.
What's going on? Tell me.
Don't get shocked.
I was already shocked enough when I heard that Dong Soo was the stalker. You can tell me.
What is it?
Suh Yoon Yi's grandmother recognized the maid.
Mi Ji recognized the maid just now too.
And?
Now that it's not Dong Soo,
you're saying that it's her?
Are you trying to get everyone close to me or what?
Are you all out of your minds?
Don't you know about coincidences?
I even met someone I know at a bathroom off the freeway.
This has to be a coincidence.
Kang Jong Hee.
If she's the stalker...
Jong Hee is...
Sir! Where is Kang Jong Hee right now?
She's at her place. Why?
She's at her place.
No one went in her place right?
No one, except the maid.
Hey! What's going on!
Hey hey hey.
Park Mu Yeol
Mu Yeol
Aunt.
My name is not "aunt."
I'm not an Ahjumma either. (*Older woman)
My name is Yak Sun Hee.
Did you know that?
No one calls me by my name as I get older.
People used to call me by name once upon a time.
Just like people call you by your name.
You have no idea what that means do you?
You're so young.
I bet you're not sad everytime you look in the mirror.
Droopy face. Wrinkled eyes.
Lips become colorless.
I'm too old.
I can't even tell someone that I love him, when I really love him.
I have to feel lonely about loving someone.
Since when did I get so old?
She took the cab near the apartment.
We have to check the cameras nearby first.
First sign right here. Right here.
If someone was in there...
It would have been hard for her to go anywhere with that.
Where could she have gone?
What?
Her place!
Aren't you going with him? Why not?
I must be out of my mind.
I even feel jealous during times like this.
Where are you going?
You said that it would have been hard for her to go anywhere with the trunk!
She could have thrown it out somewhere.
I said no. I'm busy right now.
It's an emergency.
Whether it's an emergency or not, he refused!
Someone's life is on the line here!
-It's this way right? - I said no! Reporter Go!
Dong Soo.
I have nothing else to say.
It's not time for that.
We got the real stalker.
Kang Jong Hee is missing.
Everyone will be in danger at this rate.
Jong Hee went missing?
It wasn't you was it?
We're closed for the New Year's Day.
Happy New Year!
When I was 17, I almost died because of encephalitis.
I remember those days sometimes.
What would it have been like, had I died back then?
I wish that I died when I was physically and mentally most beautiful.
Then I wouldn't have needed to see myself get old like this.
So don't feel bad about this.
If you die right now, you will be young forever.
Mu Yeol will remember you by your beautiful face forever.
Why are you trying to kill me?
You stole my spot.
Smiling Mu Yeol was yours.
Happy Mu Yeol wasn't mine.
But Mu Yeol being hurt belonged to me.
Mu Yeol in pain was mine!
In the dark small corners of his heart, there was some room for me.
But then you stole that spot from me too!
I didn't see Park Mu Yeol last night.
Are you even lying to live now?
I broke up with Park Mu Yeol.
Who was in his room then?
Aunt! Aunt!
The code is the same as your place.
Yeah.
I think she's inside the apartment.
She wasn't caught on any of the cameras nearby.
Who was it between you two?
Who is Mu Yeol's girl?
Who was the one that was with Mu Yeol last night?
It was me.
Then why is Kang Jong Hee wearing the ring?
She got off.
Which floor is it?
4th floor!
Which one is Mu Yeol's girl?
I will soon find out.
You better behave.
If you make any movement, you can die before Mu Yeol even gets here.
Jong Hee! Kang Jong Hee!
It's me. Don't hang up and come to the swimming pool.
Aunt.
I won't do you any harm.
How can I harm you?
You're too dear to me.
There is just something that I wanted to ask you.
How can you?
You want me to end it like this?
Director Kim! It's the swimming pool!
I want to say a lot of things. But there is not enough time.
Which one is your girl?
Aunt.
I will be alone for a very long time.
At least, I need to know who to hate.
Aunt, don't do this.
So tell me.
Which one do you love?
