PANDORA: BENEATH THE PARADISE
You okay?
I'm scared, Sis.
Go. I said go away.
Get away!
Is anybody there? Please let me out of here!
Open the damn door!
Sis, where are we?
Let's just go home.
It's all right. Everything will be fine.
Why did you bring us here? Who are you people?
You fail to recognize your master who saved you from death,
and you dare to attempt an escape?
-You're coming wi-- -No!
-Sis! Sis! -I won't let you take him!
Sis, save me!
-Spare his life. -Sis!
Please don't kill my brother. I beg you.
If you spare his life, I'll do anything you ask.
Please.
Are you really willing to do anything?
Yes. I give you my word.
HIGH EFFICIENCY CHARGER
No. 50.
This is your name from now on.
Where's my brother?
Survive and become the best here.
I'll let you meet him then.
-Run! -Run!
Faster, you bastards!
-Hey, go! -Move it!
Run, you wimps!
Run, you bastards! Hurry the fuck up!
Do you want your brother to live a normal life?
Then you must become the best.
Train harder for your brother's sake.
Practice harder, and become stronger.
Keep your head on straight, No. 50!
Sis, I missed you so much!
What's wrong, Sis?
Sis!
My brother. I had a little brother.
Mommy.
EPISODE 3
Your daughter is so adorable.
She's the spitting image of her mother.
Why are you with a stranger?
She's not a stranger.
That lady is Daddy's friend.
What do you want with Jaehyun?
What are you up to?
He just seemed so clueless, so I thought I'd tell him a thing or two.
Wow.
He'll be running for president.
It'd be a shame if he were ruined in an instant.
Just because he chose to marry the wrong girl.
I'll deal with you myself.
If you get close to my family again…
I swear I'll make you pay.
Jiu.
Jiu?
This is my daughter, Pyo Jiu.
Jiu, say hi.
Hello.
I'm Mr. Pyo's daughter Jiu.
But what are you all doing here?
Jiu, where's your mother?
Sir, we still don't know who your wife is. Where is she?
My apologies.
There's my dear wife, Hong Taera.
-Where? -Where is she?
-She's here now? -Over there!
Please look over here!
Ms. Hong Taera!
Any comments on your husband's candidacy?
-Ms. Hong! -Over here!
-Wait! -One moment!
-Ms. Hong! -Just a comment please!
Taera! What's wrong, Darling?
You can't just--
Wait, are you hurt? What happened?
It was a minor collision. It's nothing serious.
We never discussed your candidacy.
Did you ask me to come just to surprise the reporters?
You've always trusted me with my decisions.
I just assumed I'd have your support.
I'm sorry. I didn't think it through.
Mommy!
Hatch is your future.
The reporters are waiting.
Jiu, come to Mommy.
-Bye, Uncle. -Mmm.
Let's discuss this at home. I'll take your car.
Come on.
My dear friend, Pyo Jaehyun. Congratulations on your candidacy.
The presidency? Let's do this thing.
Okay, let's do it!
-Let's go! -Let's go!
Did you know about this?
I mean, kind of.
You bastards have a knack for surprising people and staying one step ahead.
I'm sorry, man. But I only made up my mind today.
I'm telling you he's a real nut job.
Red's incident taught me a few lessons.
I've concluded that I need more clout to protect Hatch.
Hear, hear, my friend.
I guess Han Kyungrok was the unexpected catalyst to your decision.
Plus, I have you two to thank.
I realized you've both become mature enough to handle my brief absence.
What the hell?
Hey, wouldn't it be hilarious if he lost?
Yeah, but look at this man. That's a presidential face.
If you happen to lose to Han, the cocky bastard,
don't bother crawling back into this office.
I'll demote you to a part-timer.
Hey, you just worry about keeping Hatch intact.
"Hey, you just worry about keeping Hatch intact."
We'll grow this thing so big. Just don't come begging for a spot.
Well, that's the spirit.
So if perhaps you do get elected,
could you please lift a few nationwide bans on research studies?
That way, a honest company like Hatch can run clinical trials.
How does that sound?
Music to my ears.
Now, you better convince your number-one supporter first.
I'm against it.
You're realizing your dreams with Hatch.
Research all you want at Hatch. Why the sudden foray into politics?
It's been on my mind. It's just happening sooner than I thought.
But I'm really sorry I didn't tell you sooner.
I had a lot to sort out.
-Honey. -Taera.
Yes, it'll be tough on you.
They'll even try to attack Jiu.
Attacking with false rumors is politics, after all.
-But-- -My past will become your weakness.
Let's stop this now.
Your past?
What about your past?
The Hong Taera I know is a good woman, and that's enough for me.
What if you lose everything you worked for?
You and Jiu might get hurt because of me. I'm telling you it's possible.
That'll never happen.
Even if something happens, I'll do anything to protect you both.
Darling, I need you in this.
Please.
Are you two fighting?
Of course not. We're just talking.
What's wrong? Can't sleep?
Daddy, can you sleep next to me?
Mommy might sulk a little, but sure.
You should get some rest. Just think about it.
How do you know Director Kim Seondeok?
Why did you meet her?
Just for work.
She suggested we work together.
But how do you know her?
I saw her with Jiu earlier, so I was curious.
-Jiu, sleep tight with Daddy. -Okay.
Let's go.
All right.
I was just helping you escape, so you wouldn't get scolded by Mommy.
Did I do well?
You're the best.
Let's go.
How'd it go?
No case has been filed under Ms. Jung's name.
No family to contact either.
You think something happened?
As per the informant protection policy, the police will tell us what they know.
Any word from Hanwool?
I can't reach Mr. Jo.
I requested to meet Director Kim, so let's see how she responds.
Great work.
I just spoke to the CEO of YBC.
He was asking if you're up for hosting a current affairs program.
A year's work for me is one phone call for you, huh?
Thanks for your concern anyhow.
You were right about everything.
It's a poor excuse, but I put off your father's case because I'd been so busy.
Forgive me, Haesoo.
Also…
About the earring…
I really know nothing about it.
Whatever you're thinking, it's not that. Please believe me.
Whatever the truth is, don't ever get caught again.
Or I'll send divorce papers to your father's office.
Okay, you can trust me. Don't worry.
I really hope I can trust you.
Taera.
Haesoo. What are you doing here?
You texted me for help. You said something happened.
I did?
Oh, my. Did you get into a car accident?
You okay? Are you hurt?
Taera.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk somewhere else and--
Have you reported this yet? How did this happen?
I'll handle this. You can go now.
You've been acting so strange lately.
I need to know what's happening to you.
Haesoo!
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
What just happened?
Are you okay?
Park says he'll take care of the car.
These are delicate times.
A news leak about a car explosion won't help anyone.
I don't mean to trouble Mr. Park.
What trouble?
I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for you.
Thank you. Really.
Don't mention this to Jaehyun. It'll only worry him.
Okay, I understand.
Taera.
You know I love you, right?
So stop making me worry about you.
Or I might start hating you.
I'll see you.
Drive safely.
I'm sorry, Haesoo.
Please give me some time.
Once I find the bastard who did this to us…
I'll ask for your forgiveness.
Where are you?
HANWOOL MENTAL HOSPITAL
Leave us.
You came here with your own two feet?
I should expect nothing less from a presidential candidate's wife.
Very brave, indeed.
You planted an explosive in my car and lured Haesoo right to it.
Were you going to kill that poor girl?
We only needed to get rid of Jo's body.
Why did you feel the need to call the police?
You got rid of him easily enough. Proves you're as skilled as ever.
How about you work for me again?
My ace, No. 50.
You really think you can cover up the truth by killing Haesoo?
You're the one covering up the truth!
Why did you come here with Ko Haesoo?
Why are you living as Hong Taera?
I'd lost my memories for 15 years.
I only remembered that I was No. 50, the day I came here.
So you're telling me someone made you into Hong Taera?
I'd also like to know…
who gave me this other identity.
How amusing.
No. 50, your acting skills have improved quite a bit.
Don't ever show your face
in front of my family or Haesoo ever again.
Why would I listen to some traitor bitch's words?
Because it's the only way you'll keep breathing.
The things you did to me and…
to my little brother…
I never forgave you for any of it.
So you better listen well.
You forget your place.
You sure are ungrateful to someone who took your brother in.
Shut up!
Sis, where are we going?
Can I live with you now?
I'm not leaving you again.
Hold on tight!
Closer. Get closer!
I said get closer!
Hajun.
Sis!
Get rid of them.
No!
Take her out.
You killed my little brother.
You killed that naive, innocent boy.
How could you kill a child?
How?
What? Aren't you going to finish me off?
What are you waiting for?
Just stab me!
I have one reason to keep you alive.
I need to find out who did this to me.
Until then, I'm going to protect Haesoo and my family with my life.
So what will you do?
Your advance payment.
Find out who put out a kill order on Haesoo's father.
I abide by an unbreakable rule. Never strike a deal with a traitor.
You betrayed me first.
Have you forgotten what you did to my brother?
If you lay hands on my family or Haesoo,
I will cut you down.
Director Kim Seondeok.
You scared me.
What was that for?
Sorry, but I called your name a few times.
Oh, this.
Why are you here at this hour?
Have you heard anything from Taera?
About what?
I know she opens up to you a lot.
She seemed anxious about the election, so I was worried, that's all.
Well, she told me not to say anything.
She got into an accident yesterday.
Wasn't it a minor collision? She said it was nothing.
Jaehyun, it was an explosion.
What?
She said it was just a gas explosion, but I think it's more than that.
The other day, a suspicious man broke into your house.
Anyway, I'm afraid she might be in danger.
Why didn't she tell me any of this?
Maybe I'm crossing the line and making you worry for nothing.
No, you're good. I'd been too preoccupied with work.
How about you hire personal security for her?
So you're telling me someone made you into Hong Taera?
Your advance payment.
Find out who put out a kill order
on Haesoo's father.
Contact Ko Haesoo.
You cut ties with your mistress?
Yeah, of course.
A single bug can ruin an entire program.
Faulty codes need to be deleted.
I plan on continuing to climb up with you beside me.
Hey, you geezers up there!
Hurry up and climb. Stop your yakking.
I can hear you!
You talking smack about me, huh?
We actually…
We want to begin the smart patch human trials.
Red's experiment was a success, so no reason to stall.
Let's proceed with the human trials in time for the second presentation.
-For real? -What about test subjects?
Families won't consent so easily.
Someone's offered to help.
I have something important to tell you.
You need to hear what I have to say.
My goodness.
Your smart patch technology is groundbreaking.
It was quite impressive.
Appealing enough for our hospital participate in the research.
Define "participate."
Our hospital will provide test subjects for your human trials.
I'm sure you'll appreciate our cooperation.
Do you mean that?
The honor's all mine
to get to work with a great talent such as yourself.
Several of their patients have already agreed.
We'll talk to their families, and we'll start in no time.
Wow!
Wow! Really?
Hey.
Now we finally get to start a proper research.
I told her to talk details with you, Sungchan.
Only you truly understand our smart patch technology.
But Hanwool made us the offer when all other hospitals refused us?
Sounds very promising.
We got lucky.
Hey, appreciate you making it happen by yourself.
Great job.
I really didn't feel like going back to work after Red died.
But Jaehyun, are we really moving on to human trials now, huh?
Before that, let's take care of your brother Kyojin first.
It's about time we helped him.
Fine, if not for my mother's sake.
But my brother…
would be proud of us, right?
Of course.
We made Hatch because it's what he wanted.
If he saw us now, I think he'd be pretty surprised.
Damn it.
I miss Kyojin, don't you?
It's been too long.
Shall we go visit him, huh?
Let's go!
-All right, let's go. -Okay.
Kyojin, the boys are coming to see you--
Are you going to…
ride your bike again?
I’m going to Mt. Hongak to check on something.
Do you have to go? I feel uneasy for some reason.
Don't worry. I'll be back soon.
You'll be back safely, right?
Of course.
Didn't I tell you to stop doing this?
For how long will you keep this up?
Why are you yelling?
You're being selfish.
You think if you keep this up, he's going to utter words of thanks?
Why can't you see you're just torturing him even more?
Are you giving up on him for Dojin's sake?
You got your gloves?
Let me get them for you.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Wow.
It's an honor, Anchorwoman Ko Haesoo.
You wanted to see me?
You seem busy, so I'll get straight to the point.
She was called No. 50, and I'd like to see her records.
Here's the official media request form.
Hmm.
Mr. Jo has informed me that he told you she's no longer a patient here.
Ms. Jung Yusun remembers this patient.
Who?
The charge nurse at Hanwool, who's worked here for over 20 years.
Jung Yusun… Jung Yusun…
We don't have a nurse but a patient by that name at our hospital.
It appears you've been played by this woman.
She was admitted to Hanwool about 20 years ago.
I treated her ear.
A feral dog bit her while she was on the run.
A feral dog?
The hospital's been keeping feral dogs in the annex building.
Ms. Jung Yusun?
She's a long-term patient at our hospital with a serious mental disorder.
We also have records of her many attempts to escape.
She struck one of our nurses in an attempt to escape before we caught her.
I'm not sure what she told you, Ms. Ko,
but you shouldn't believe what you heard.
Ms. Jung, do you remember me?
It's me, Ko Haesoo.
Hello?
So you're telling me someone made you into Hong Taera?
I'd also like to know…
who gave me this other identity.
If she's telling the truth,
No. 50 couldn't have done it on her own.
That can only mean she had the help of someone with the money
to set up her with a new identity.
We've deleted all records regarding Jung Yusun
and ordered the entire staff to keep mum.
We've just applied the last dose of scopolamine.
She can speak now.
It would've been so much easier if you continued to serve as my dog.
How dare you look for a new owner,
when you're just a feral dog?
Who told you to tell Ko Haesoo about No. 50?
Who made you do it?
Uhm Sang…
Speak clearly!
Uhm Sangbae.
Could it be…
that Uhm Sangbae?
What's my daughter-in-law up to?
She's still looking for the suspect who killed President Ko.
It'd be easier on her if she just gave up.
KUMJO CHAIRMAN, JANG KUMMO
Have you been watching Pyo Jaehyun and his wife?
Yes, they haven't made any further moves yet.
Finding the candidate's weakness will be quite costly.
Keep a close eye.
Where is this girl now?
KUMJO GROUP, UHM SANGBAE
Why does Yura have Uhm's business card?
-Did you say Dr. Kang resigned? -Yes.
He left in a hurry, saying it was a family emergency.
We don't know much else.
Can I have his personal number or his home address?
We can't give you his personal information.
Dr. Kang's been treating me for over ten years.
I just have something to ask him. Please.
I keep telling you, we're not allowed.
-Please leave now. -I have to meet Dr. Kang.
-Please, I'm begging you. -You can't do this here.
Just his phone number.
-Please calm down. -I…
KANG MENTAL CLINIC
Who the hell are you?
I must've lost my touch.
Why did I believe her without running a background check?
Everything Kim Seondeok said is true.
This seriously hurts my pride as a reporter.
So who on earth is Ms. Jung?
You really think No. 50
has nothing to do with my father's case?
Ms. Ko!
She's here! Look!
This right here is our top headline today, okay?
Let's rewrite the script, got it?
This is the top story?
It's the no. 1 trending topic.
"It is a wonder.
Pyo Jaehyun's mysterious wife, Hong Taera.
Who exactly is she?"
It's probably bedlam around your townhouse.
The next first lady!
Can't you feel it?
Upload it all, everything you have.
Yeah.
HATCH ENTERPRISE
It's Hong Taera!
Hong Taera!
-Oh, wow! -There she is!
-Taera, a word please! -Hong Taera!
-Hong Taera!
Tell us how you feel about Mr. Pyo running for President!
I hear you've been focused on parenting.
Why have you stayed away from the public eye?
Will you be in full support of Mr. Pyo's campaign from now on?
-Step aside! -Taera! Taera!
-What's going on? -What's this?
-What is this? -Man, what's he doing?
-Who's that? -Stop that.
-Taera! Taera! -Hong Taera!
You must've been startled.
I'm fine, thanks to this man.
He'll be your personal security from now on.
He'll be with you wherever you go, so don't worry.
But I'm not comfortable with this.
What just happened to you may happen again.
It makes me nervous.
I'm Pyo Jaehyun. I'm counting on you.
My name is Cha Pilseung. I'll do my best, sir.
INCOMING CALL KOO SUNGCHAN
Hey, Sungchan. What's up?
TOP TRENDING SEARCHES, #1 HONG TAERA
HONG TAERA, IMAGES
NEWS
Taera's taken the top spots for all trending searches.
People are so interested in her.
You need to set up a campaign office fast. It's only going to get worse.
I have a few people in mind.
Let me borrow Hatch's PR team for now.
Of course. Already running our search system.
We'll monitor any online posts about Taera.
Thanks.
Hey, did you hear something?
-Boo! -Yikes.
Something probably fell.
Hey, what about me?
How can I help?
I'll let you know.
FAKE
THE REAL HONG TAERA SOPHIE, HER FRIEND FROM FRANCE
"The real Hong Taera"?
-Put in a good word. -Sure, no worries.
-Okay. -Bye then.
Okay, bye.
Sweetie!
-Oh, shit! -What's wrong?
That hurts! I said that hurts!
What happened? You changed your number.
Something came up.
Were you worried about me?
I missed you so much too!
Hey, you lost your mind?
What's going on? Has your heart changed in the last few days?
What are you talking about? Aren't we finished?
What?
You shouldn't have crossed the line.
Leaving your earring behind? So cliché.
What?
Oh, that?
I've been looking all over for it. I guess I left it in your bathroom.
I didn't even mention the bathroom.
We're done here.
You still love me, no?
I made a mistake. I promise I won't do it again.
I'll do whatever you tell me to, okay?
Get off me, damn it.
Jaehyun's running for president.
You should've been careful. Your sister's life is at stake here.
Damn that Hong Taera.
I've done enough for her already.
I'm going to live my own life now!
Yeah, well. Please remove me from your life.
Let's never get involved again, Hong Yura.
You think this is over…
…because you say so?
Does it not matter how I feel?
That's how dating works. If it's over for one, it's over for both.
Messing with Haesoo was your fault,
and dating you was mine, got it?
Yes, Father.
I'm not letting this go.
My life is already pathetic.
I should have at least one thing that's real.
Where'd you go without a word?
I needed to take a breather,
so I went for a walk.
We almost got caught, didn't we?
Let's just tell them we're dating.
What are we doing?
It's not like we have anything to hide…
Is my baby upset?
If the guys find out, they'll be so happy for us.
And considering our age, we can just get married right away.
To be honest,
I'd be fine with having a child first.
Everyone's swamped with Jaehyun's election and whatnot.
Let's tell them about us when everything calms down.
Isn't it more exciting to meet up in secret?
Well, I guess it kind of is…
So, what should we do now?
-Now? -Yeah.
Right now…
How about we…
take a shower together?
Together?
Well, damn.
You like that?
-My goodness. You're so forward. -What's wrong?
You're making me blush.
Where the hell is it?
I think it was a burglar.
First, call the police and check the cameras--
No. Don't call the police.
Taera, your leg is bleeding.
How is this nothing?
Sorry, I pushed the panic button by mistake.
Hong Taera is a fake?
THE REAL HONG TAERA
One more round!
Taera.
Hey.
You see the news?
How does it feel to become famous overnight?
Famous, my foot.
My colleagues are asking me to get them an interview with you.
By the way, your friend sent some photos to our station.
My friend?
Do you remember someone named Sophie?
Well, I'm not too sure.
Oh, right. You lost your memories.
She said she went to school with you in France,
and that you two were very close.
Is this before the accident?
I can barely recognize you.
I had surgery because my face was badly injured in the accident.
Is this Hong Taera?
Yes, that's my friend Taera.
Were you two close?
We were close friends until she passed away.
She passed away?
Yes, she was in a serious car accident.
She had several surgeries, but in the end…
I felt so bad for her. She died so young.
Are you sure she's dead?
Yes, I even went to the memorial service.
Yura's the only family she had, so it was just me and her sister.
Do you, by any chance, know this woman?
I have never seen her before.
Apparently, Taera had plastic surgery because she was injured in the accident.
Are you saying this isn't her face post-surgery?
What do you mean?
Taera wasn't just injured in the accident. I saw her body at the memorial service.
Mommy!
Yes, Jiu?
-What is it? -I don't like Uncle Pilseung!
He keeps beating me.
I should get going.
Something's come up.
CHLOE PLASTIC SURGERY,
EAR RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY, 7:00 P.M. ON 3/25
-We're done for the day. -Okay, bye.
HATCH
RED'S RESEARCH FILES
SMART PATCH RESEARCH REPORT
BY YANG SEJIN
CONFIDENTIAL, SMART PATCH RESEARCH REPORT
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS FILE PERMANENTLY?
YES
Chairman.
You think deleting the files will cover the secret?
I'm so sorry.
You sure nobody knows what happened that day?
Are you certain?
How is Red?
She's suffering from brain damage. She's becoming more violent.
I can't control her with medication.
I don't think she'll last much longer.
The experiment is a failure.
Absolutely not!
Red has to be a perfect success. No matter what!
Right now, do exactly as I say.
I understand you received payment from Assemblyman Ahn Seongmin.
Did he ask you to check if Red has a chip in her brain?
Why did you do it?
I was praying it wouldn't be one of us.
I'm so sorry, Chairman.
My daughter's sick, so I did this terrible thing.
I'm so sorry.
No, they're the bad guys.
It's not your fault that you're weak and powerless.
I'll cover your daughter's entire surgery and medical expenses.
I won't even ask about your betrayal against Hatch.
In return, do us a favor.
No, this is an order.
I'll do whatever you need, Chairman. Just say the word.
Kill Red.
With your own hands.
Someone killed Red.
She didn't die from side effects from the smart patch. She was killed.
No one else can know the truth.
No one.
Only Director Koo and I have access to the confidential files anyway.
He's never logged in since Red died.
Nobody will suspect side effects from the patch--
Red's experiment was a success.
There were no side effects.
Understood?
Yes, sir.
SMART PATCH RESEARCH REPORT EXPERIMENT RED, FAILED
I don't believe it.
What did I tell you?
I told you he had dirty tricks up his sleeve.
Now do you see Pyo Jaehyun's true colors?
Perhaps, he's much more frightening than we'd imagined.
Good thing we had a sample made from before.
Let's begin the procedure right away.
-I know I'm in good hands, Doctor. -All right. Let's get ready.
Why are you looking into Hanwool?
THEY CALLED HER NO. 50.
Someone sent me this picture
and said that she's my dad's real killer.
Please come this way.
Is Taera…
No. 50?
Was it really you?
Did you kill my dad?
You killed Red.
You betrayed us.
You shameless son of a bitch!
Take your hands off Hatch.
No. I'm not giving up anything.
Wait! Ms. Ko, wait!
I told you I'll take the fall.
The more she digs into her father's case, the greater the danger she's in.
Tell the woman called No. 50 that I'll be seeing her soon.
When she finds out you're the assassin, you think she'll do nothing?
That undeserving happiness you enjoyed--
I'll rip it all to shreds.
