00:00What the hell is this?
00:11The wind is getting stronger.
00:15Mom!
00:16I'll show you something cool.
00:23It's gold.
00:24Gold!
00:30At the beginning of the first episode, we see Jiwoo and her daughter Mina visiting Kmart.
00:39Jiwoo receives a message on her phone that her job application result has been announced,
00:44but she is unable to read the message due to a lack of internet.
00:47Meanwhile, Mina disappears, making Jiwoo worried.
00:51She starts looking for her and eventually finds Mina in the toy section and asks her to stay close.
00:57Mina says she wants a doll, but after seeing the price,
01:01Jiwoo reminds her that she bought her a doll last time and says she is busy today,
01:06so they should leave it for next time.
01:08When Jiwoo puts the doll back on the rack, she notices a card lying on the floor.
01:13She picks it up and discovers it's a Wheel of Fortune Tarot card.
01:17At that moment, she receives a notification on her phone
01:20and learns that she has passed the document screening for the cashier staff recruitment at Kmart.
01:28That night, Jiwoo tells Mina the story of Tinkerbell,
01:33and when Mina asks if fairies really exist, Jiwoo tells her that we all have a fairy in our hearts.
01:40She explains that if someone says there are no fairies, they disappear at that moment.
01:45So, she encourages Mina to continue believing in fairies.
01:49Jiwoo then asks, didn't she play with Lily today?
01:53To which Mina responds, Lily only comes when no one else is around.
01:57She then tells her that Lily is in their house and is inside her wardrobe right now.
02:02Perplexed and concerned, Jiwoo goes to check the wardrobe but doesn't see anyone there,
02:08and suddenly, Mina says she can't look at her as she gets shy.
02:12The next day, Jiwoo shares with her mother that Mina is very good at making up lies,
02:18so she thinks she will make her a novelist later.
02:20Later, Jiwoo goes for the job interview,
02:23where she tells manager Choi that she worked part-time at a convenience store for about 3 months during college.
02:29He informs her that this job is completely different from working at a convenience store,
02:34and that she will start working from Christmas, which is tomorrow.
02:38She calls her mom and asks if she can drop Mina off at her house on Christmas, since it's her first day of work.
02:44Her mom questions what kind of company makes her work on holidays.
02:48Jiwoo explains that it's a part-time job,
02:51and when her mom reminds her that she advised against taking a low-paying job,
02:55Jiwoo asks what else she should do, as she has no other way to find money for the next month.
03:01That night, Jiwoo tells Mina that she has to go to work tomorrow and asks if she can be alone at home.
03:07Mina asks if she can bring Lily, and Jiwoo agrees.
03:11Jiwoo then instructs her that if someone rings the doorbell or knocks on the door,
03:16she must never open it, because if a stranger comes in, Lily will be embarrassed.
03:21The next day, Jiwoo's co-worker tells her that if a customer leaves an item,
03:26she should take it directly to the customer service center and report it.
03:30However, many people don't come looking for their lost items,
03:34so when she finds something left behind, she should keep it under the counter,
03:38and in a few days, they will take care of it.
03:40Later, Jiwoo processes a customer's purchase.
03:44Soon, she notices that the customer has forgotten one of her items and tries to call out to her,
03:49but the customer has already left.
03:51Jiwoo sees that it is the same doll that Mina insisted on buying, and she places it under the counter.
03:58She then calls Mina to check on her and asks if she is having fun with Lily.
04:02Mina replies that today she is with a friend who isn't Lily,
04:06and when Jiwoo asks who, Mina says it's Santa Claus.
04:10Jiwoo asks if she opened the door, to which Mina responds that she didn't,
04:15but Santa came down the chimney.
04:17Concerned, Jiwoo later texts Mina, and Mina replies that Santa gave her a gift.
04:23Jiwoo asks what Santa is like, and Mina says he is big and has a lot of beard.
04:28Jiwoo asks if his beard is white, and if he's wearing red clothes too, to which Mina replies no.
04:35Suddenly, Choi interrupts and asks Jiwoo if she came here for lunch or to check her cell phone.
04:40Later, Jiwoo texts Mina that she is leaving soon and asks her to tell Santa to leave now,
04:46but Mina replies that she is going through a transformation right now.
04:50Suddenly, Choi asks Jiwoo what she is doing.
04:54Jiwoo asks if she can go home, explaining that she has someone in trouble,
04:59to which Choi responds that she begged for a job and now wants to leave.
05:04He gives her 35 minutes to go and return as quickly as possible,
05:08but warns that if she's late, she shouldn't expect to work there in the future.
05:12Jiwoo is forced to call her husband, Jong, and tells him that Mina is in danger.
05:17She gives him the password to their house and asks him to check on her,
05:21but Jong responds that he is currently out of the country.
05:24Jiwoo, frustrated, says she is home alone on Christmas Day while he is traveling with just any woman.
05:31Soon after, Jiwoo receives a video call from Mina,
05:34and Jiwoo expresses her concern, saying she was worried about her.
05:39Mina replies that she wants to show her how to do ballet and starts dancing.
05:43However, Jiwoo's worry grows, and she asks Mina who is filming her,
05:48but suddenly, the call disconnects.
05:51Jiwoo goes to Choi and asks if he can let her leave early today.
05:55He agrees, but tells her that she can quit whenever she wants,
05:59and then he says they should discuss what needs to be addressed first.
06:03She explains that the customer had forgotten it, and she left it at the register
06:07because she thought the customer would return for it.
06:10Choi asks what she learned from handling a forgotten item from a customer,
06:14to which she replies that it should be put in the customer service center.
06:18Choi then points out that she hasn't eaten, was caught texting,
06:22stayed in the bathroom for 10 minutes, and still hasn't managed her time well.
06:27Jiwoo explains that her daughter is home alone,
06:30and she's worried because she can't reach her.
06:32Suddenly, her phone rings, and Choi snatches it,
06:36telling her to concentrate when someone is speaking.
06:38She asks for her phone back, but Choi accuses her of stealing the doll
06:42and tells her to wait while he checks the CCTV footage.
06:46They check the camera, and the person there tells Choi
06:49that it's hard to determine if Jiwoo is stealing,
06:52and they can't blame her because the item was placed inside the store.
06:56Jiwoo says she will go to the police station to report that he took her phone,
07:01and that she will sue him.
07:02Scared, Choi returns her phone, and before leaving,
07:06Jiwoo warns Choi that if anything happens to Mina,
07:10she will come back and kill him.
07:12She calls Mina, who tells her that she played with Santa Claus all afternoon.
07:16Jiwoo asks her to explain what she actually did,
07:19but Mina continues to talk about Santa Claus.
07:22Frustrated, Jiwoo starts scolding Mina,
07:25forcing her to admit that there is no one else at home.
07:28Jiwoo returns home and becomes worried when she sees that Mina is not in her room,
07:33but then considers that she might be playing hide-and-seek like last time.
07:37She starts looking for her, and thinking that she might be hiding inside the wardrobe,
07:42opens it to surprise her, but to her shock, she finds a drawing instead.
07:47Scared, Jiwoo picks up the drawing and sees it depicts a satanic Santa taking her daughter with him.
07:53Concerned for her daughter, Jiwoo begins searching the house,
07:57and after a while, she finds the dress Mina was wearing during their video call.
08:01Under the dress, Jiwoo discovers a Peter Pan storybook,
08:05and she recalls telling Mina that everyone has a fairy in their hearts,
08:09but if someone says there are no fairies, they disappear in that moment.
08:14In a flashback, it's revealed that when Jiwoo was scolding Mina on the phone,
08:19no one was listening because the number she was calling did not exist.
08:22When she spoke with her mother, her mother also suggested that she stop talking about Mina.
08:27Similarly, when she called her husband, he requested that she stop mentioning Mina,
08:32as he was also struggling with the difficulty of Mina's death.
08:36Jiwoo has been imagining the existence of her beloved daughter all this time.
08:41She finally realizes that Mina is not there,
08:44and the episode ends with Jiwoo asking Mina where she is.
08:50The second episode begins with Kyung in a hotel,
08:53telling his wife on the phone that he is out for a team dinner.
08:56His wife asks him to take a taxi and come home quickly.
09:00Just then, Kyung's mistress Joohee enters the bathroom,
09:03prompting Kyung to tell his wife that his manager is there,
09:06and he quickly disconnects the call.
09:08He then begins getting ready to leave,
09:10but Joohee warns him that if he goes now, she will call his wife directly.
09:15Kyung picks up his pen and starts clicking it,
09:18to which Joohee asks him to stop, saying it's annoying.
09:22He puts the pen in his pocket and tells Joohee not to do this,
09:25because his wife has a difficult personality,
09:28and it won't be good for her if rumors spread.
09:30Joohee continues to threaten him,
09:32and Kyung responds by asking if she thinks she's the only one he has.
09:37We then see him leaving the hotel,
09:39and as he puts his keycard in a box,
09:42his hand gets cut by a card,
09:44and when he checks it, he finds that it is the full tarot card.
09:48Kyung takes a taxi and lies to his wife that he is not getting a taxi,
09:52and we see the taxi driver is listening to all his conversations.
09:56After disconnecting the call,
09:58he gives his phone to the taxi driver to put it on charge.
10:01The driver asks him why he was lying,
10:03to which Kyung explains that he got fired from his job,
10:06and he couldn't tell his wife.
10:08The driver says it's okay because they all lie,
10:11and adds that women interfere a lot in what is done abroad,
10:15and they all hate it.
10:16Just then, a delivery boy overtakes them very quickly,
10:19which angers the driver.
10:21He increases the speed of the car,
10:23goes ahead of the delivery boy,
10:25and starts hurling abuses at him.
10:27Kyung asks for his phone,
10:29but the driver says it's not on yet.
10:31Kyung finds his words strange,
10:33as he expresses his anger towards the people of that country,
10:36and is further shocked when Kyung sees a tattoo on his neck.
10:40Kyung tries to check his bag,
10:42but the driver spots him and says it's his car only,
10:45and that the photo on his license isn't updated.
10:48The driver then takes another route,
10:50and when Kyung asks if they are on the right route,
10:52he says he has some work to do.
10:54Kyung gets scared,
10:55and starts clicking his pen to calm himself down,
10:58and after a while,
10:59the driver stops the car in the middle of a forest.
11:02The driver then gets out of the car to call someone,
11:05and while he is talking,
11:06Kyung sneaks up behind him to listen.
11:09The driver is discussing selling a liver and kidneys to someone,
11:12and upon hearing this, Kyung becomes alarmed,
11:15feeling that the driver has trapped him,
11:17and is talking about him on the phone.
11:19Kyung tries to run away but falls,
11:21causing the driver to realize he is behind him.
11:24The driver asks if he heard what he said,
11:26and Kyung denies it.
11:28The driver brings him back to the car,
11:30and when Kyung tries to reach for his phone,
11:32he finds that it's not charged.
11:34Kyung asks who is coming,
11:36and the driver replies that it's just a person who buys things.
11:40Hearing this, Kyung takes out his pen
11:42and stabs the driver with it until he dies.
11:45Kyung throws the driver's dead body out of the car,
11:48and when he tries to leave,
11:50he finds that the car's tire is stuck in a pothole.
11:53When Lee and his partner arrive,
11:55Kyung meets them as a driver,
11:57because they have never met before,
11:59and he first asks for their help in pulling the car out of the pothole.
12:03After the car is freed,
12:04Kyung shows them the driver's dead body,
12:07and Lee and his partner are shocked.
12:09They ask Kyung to open the trunk,
12:11and while they check it, Kyung calls his wife and lies,
12:14saying that an accident occurred suddenly.
12:17Meanwhile, Lee and his partner find the dead body of a deer in the trunk,
12:22and when Kyung comes out and sees the deer,
12:24he quickly realizes that the driver was talking about the deer, not him.
12:28Lee's partner asks if they should report this,
12:31but Lee suggests they should catch Kyung first.
12:34Lee tells Kyung that they need his help moving the body,
12:37and when Kyung hesitates,
12:39Lee insists that someone has to do it as it needs to be prepared.
12:43Kyung reluctantly helps them throw the deer into their van,
12:46and while they are moving the deer,
12:48Lee's partner attacks Kyung.
12:50However, Kyung manages to free himself by poking his fingers in Lee's partner's eyes,
12:55and then runs away.
12:57Lee and his partner go after him and warn him that if he don't show up,
13:01they will call the police.
13:02Hearing this, Kyung attacks them from behind and kills them.
13:06After this, he puts all three dead bodies in the taxi and sets it on fire.
13:12Kyung somehow makes it to the road,
13:14where a police officer approaches him and asks him to come with him.
13:17Kyung asks why,
13:19and the officer responds that he will explain as they go along.
13:22The scene shifts to reveal that Joohee has been killed,
13:26and Kyung admits to the police officer that it was in self-defense.
13:30In a flashback, we see Joohee calling Kyung's wife
13:34and telling her that she has a deep relationship with Kyung,
13:37and that he just told her she isn't the only one.
13:40Furious, Kyung stabs Joohee with a pen, killing her.
13:43However, when he checks her phone,
13:46he discovers that Joohee was faking the call to threaten him.
13:49Kyung tells the officer that Joohee had been threatening him for a while,
13:53saying that she will tell his wife about their affair.
13:56He also claims that Joohee conspired with the taxi driver to kill him
14:00and sell his organs.
14:02Kyung explains that he tried to stay quiet,
14:05but to protect himself and his family,
14:07he had to take drastic measures.
14:09The officer tells Kyung to repeat this story at the police station,
14:13and hearing this, Kyung starts clicking his pen nervously.
14:17When the officer asks about the clicking, Kyung attacks him,
14:21causing the car to lose balance and crash.
14:24Kyung survives the crash and contacts his wife,
14:27who accuses him of lying too much today
14:29and informs him that their daughter Ram mentioned she fought with a friend at school
14:33and was waiting for her father.
14:35Ram asks Kyung why he didn't come,
14:37and he replies that he had a hard time getting off work.
14:40Kyung then asks Ram why she fought,
14:43and she explains that the teacher misunderstood the situation.
14:46When he presses for the truth,
14:48she admits that her friend hit her first,
14:50but she hit her more in return.
14:52Kyung praises her and reassures her that he will be home soon.
14:56He then takes out his pen and the tarot card
14:59and throws them into a locker at the subway station before leaving.
15:03The next episode begins with a delivery guy named Dongin
15:06at the same subway station for a delivery.
15:08He opens a locker and finds the High Priestess' tarot card inside it,
15:12and when he calls the customer,
15:14he discovers that it was just a prank by a kid.
15:19We then see Dongin with other delivery guys,
15:22and his friend Kihoon calls him the king of delivery.
15:25Kihoon asks why he works so much,
15:28to which Dongin replies that he wants to earn more money
15:31and open his own delivery company.
15:33The next day, Dongin learns that the High Priestess' card
15:36symbolizes intelligence and leadership,
15:39suggesting that he has the potential to be a wise advisor
15:42or a good friend,
15:44bringing great luck if he embraces these qualities.
15:47Later, Dongin goes to deliver an order,
15:49where a plump girl receives it
15:51and mentions she's going to eat with her friends.
15:54As he's leaving, she stops him
15:56and asks if he is going through a difficult time.
15:58He replies that delivery work is tough,
16:00to which she offers him a glass of water.
16:02Dongin takes the glass and initially hesitates to drink it,
16:05but he finally drinks it.
16:07However, as he leaves, he wonders why the water was salty.
16:11The next day, Dongin goes to deliver an order to that girl again,
16:14and she offers him a bun to eat, but he declines.
16:17He then pretends to get a call,
16:19but the girl points out that his phone didn't ring.
16:22She gives him a tip, which he accepts,
16:24and she tells him that she will order every day at 6.55,
16:28so he should always accept her delivery.
16:31That evening, Dongin goes to the same address again,
16:34wondering why he keeps coming here despite the urgency.
16:37The girl opens the door, gives him a tip,
16:40and asks if he has a girlfriend.
16:42He takes the tip and asks why she's curious about that now.
16:45The girl tries to seduce him,
16:47but he tells her to grab her order and go inside quickly.
16:50She says if he likes someone else,
16:52she won't insist and mentions that love means making sacrifices for each other.
16:57She adds that he is quiet, like her ideal person,
17:00but he responds that he talks a lot
17:02and once spent four hours talking alone at a cafe with his friends.
17:06The girl says she thinks it's okay to talk a lot
17:09and asks if he wants to come inside,
17:11to which he throws the tip back at her,
17:13saying not to call him again, and leaves.
17:16However, after the girl goes inside,
17:18leaving the tip on the ground,
17:20Dongin returns and picks it up.
17:22The next day, Dongin gets a call from Kahun,
17:25who tells him that girl has been calling every 30 minutes, asking for him.
17:30Dongin firmly says he is not going to her house again
17:33and asks Kahun to stop calling him about it.
17:36Later, Dongin's friend asks him if he's sure the deliveries are going well,
17:40and Dongin assures him they are.
17:42Just as he's about to leave to deliver an order,
17:45he receives a call from the headquarters of Food Call.
17:47They inform him that a customer has filed a complaint against him for sexual harassment.
17:52Dongin vehemently denies the accusation,
17:55but he is told that, due to regulations,
17:58his delivery orders will be cancelled until the complaint is resolved.
18:02Frustrated, Dongin goes to the girl's house and asks if she thinks her actions are right.
18:07She responds by saying that she told him she wanted to see him every day,
18:11but he ignored her.
18:12Dongin, desperate, asks her to cancel her complaint
18:15and promises to answer her call every day.
18:18She brings out a trash bag and asks him to throw it in the trash.
18:21Dongin finds a 10,000 won tip on the bag and takes it away,
18:25wondering why she's doing this.
18:27As he's about to throw the bag away,
18:29he notices some stains on his shoe dripping from the bag,
18:33and this frustrates him even more.
18:35The next evening, Dongin tells the girl that something strange fell out of the trash the last time he took it out,
18:41but she puts another bag out and quickly shuts the door.
18:44Dongin goes to throw the packet, and wondering what's inside it,
18:47he opens it to check, only to get shocked to see a piece of raw meat in it.
18:52The next day, Dongin asks Kahun if there is a missing delivery person in their neighborhood,
18:58to which Kahun informs him that a boy named Lee Won has been missing for two weeks.
19:03Dongin is shocked and tells Kahun that he found raw meat in the girl's trash,
19:08and it had a strange smell.
19:10He says he said he was in a lab before doing this,
19:13and Kahun tells him that his specialty is biotechnology.
19:16Dongin asks if there is any way to distinguish between animal blood and human blood.
19:21The next time Dongin visits the girl, he brings a piece of the meat with him,
19:25and using a human blood clot kit provided by Kahun,
19:28he tests the blood from the meat and discovers that it is indeed human blood.
19:33Dongin shares his findings with Kahun,
19:36and they both suspect that the girl may have murdered the missing delivery boy.
19:40Kahun suggests that Dongin should retrieve another piece of meat from the girl's house for further investigation,
19:46and if he doesn't do this, he will report the situation to the authorities.
19:50That evening, Dongin receives an order from the girl,
19:53and before leaving, he grabs a knife for his safety,
19:56but then decides against taking it with him.
19:59When he arrives at the building, he finds instructions to leave the order at the door,
20:03and not enter the house.
20:05Upon reaching her apartment, Dongin rings the bell but gets no response,
20:09and when he checks the door, he finds it open.
20:12Feeling uneasy, he enters the house, and immediately, he is hit by a strange smell.
20:17As he investigates further, he is horrified to discover the house is filled with human flesh,
20:22and his shock deepens when he recognizes a tattoo on one of the pieces of flesh,
20:27a tattoo he had seen on the girl's arm.
20:30Dongin gets sick with the horrible sight,
20:32and a girl asks, does he likes skinny girls?
20:35He calms himself and asks who is she,
20:38and the girl again asks, does he likes thin women?
20:41He asks, does he knows her?
20:43To which she asks, does she looks like his ideal type now?
20:46Dongin is shocked to see that girl like this,
20:49and she thanks him for coming here.
20:51Frustrated, he asks if she is crazy,
20:53the girl begins to move towards him,
20:55and as he backs off, his leg gets trapped in a trap,
20:58causing him to fall.
20:59The girl approaches Dongin,
21:01saying that her ideal type is a quiet man,
21:04and that love means making sacrifices for each other.
21:07She then moves towards him with a scalpel,
21:09asking where she should start to be beautiful,
21:12and as she gets closer,
21:13the scene cuts to Dongin's terrified screams.
21:16Next, a delivery boy comes to deliver dog treats
21:19at the same address.
21:21He rings the bell,
21:22but hears a female voice saying it's open,
21:24so he can come in.
21:25He enters the house and asks if can he leave it here,
21:28but he is asked to come in further.
21:30The man enters and notices Dongin there
21:32tied to a chain like a dog,
