Transcript
00:00Ilya, I'm sorry. I really wanted to keep playing along with you, but I just can't convince myself anymore.
00:09Goldie, you...
00:10Five years of marriage! I put up with all your bullshits!
00:13But do you have any idea how I felt every time I saw you bossing mom and dad around?
00:18You lost your mind, Goldie! When did I ever boss mom and dad around?
00:22If you hadn't treated mom and dad like that, never once show them any respect.
00:29Why would they have wanted to kick you out the moment they found out you weren't their biological daughter?
00:37What do you mean? I'm not their biological daughter?
00:41You handed this to me yourself, Kalia. How much longer are you going to keep lying?
00:52How is that even possible?
00:54I told you back then, whether they were changing the will or kicking you out, you brought it on yourself.
01:00But they were still your parents!
01:02Even without blood ties, if you just swallowed your ego and apologized,
01:06do you really think they could have just thrown away 25 years of raising you?
01:16Based on the scene, this is definitely a homicide.
01:20Homicide? It really is murder!
01:23Who? Who killed my parents?
01:25Besides, we've lifted multiple fingerprints from the victim's clothing.
01:28The comparison results aren't ready yet, so we can't...
01:33Sir, the fingerprint comparison from Forensics shows a perfect match with Miss Kalia.
01:38Kalia, what do you have to say for yourself now?
01:41I...
01:41No, that's impossible!
01:43I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't!
01:46Please, you have to believe me, I didn't...
01:48Kill her, this viper is parent Miller!
01:50A devil like this should be handed over to the furries for the harsh and divine punishment!
01:53Shut up! Calm down!
01:55Kill her, my goddesses for revenge, I offer you my soul.
02:01Just give me one chance to find out the truth.
02:05Shh!
02:12December 25, 2025?
02:15Did the furies hear my prayer?
02:17Did they send me back to the day my parents died?
02:28My dear baby Kalia, Daddy and I will see you in 8 hours.
02:32Did you know that Daddy even booked your favorite restaurant?
02:35He said he's going to make you the most beautiful princess tonight.
02:398 hours?
02:40Right.
02:41When my parents fell, I was on my way to the restaurant.
02:43It was exactly 3.30pm, so there's still 7 or 8 hours left.
02:48There were so many unanswered questions.
02:52Since the furies have given me a second chance, I'm not going to waste it.
02:56I will find out the truth.
03:01Dear Mom, I have a question.
03:02Am I really your and Dad's biological child?
03:07Oh, my child, what's wrong with you?
03:10Of course you're our biological daughter.
03:12Why would you suddenly ask such a strange question?
03:14Did you run out of your allowance?
03:16Wait, no!
03:17The date on the paternity test was clearly December 24th, which was yesterday.
03:23If Mom knew I wasn't her biological daughter, and if they really came back this time to kick me out
03:29like Goldie said,
03:30then why would she still transfer me so much money?
03:36Honey, look what I brought back for you.
03:46This is your favorite sandwich.
03:48I waited in a long, long line just to get it for you.
03:53Goldie was born in a countryside farm.
03:56Five years ago, by chance, he caught my attention.
04:00Soon after, he married into the Johnson family and became my husband.
04:05He's even more filial to my parents than to his own biological parents.
04:14Anything wrong?
04:15You seem off today.
04:21I'm all right.
04:28If it weren't for my last life,
04:30when everyone was falsely accusing me of killing my parents,
04:33and instead of clearing my name,
04:36he viciously joined Delilah in framing me,
04:38I would never have suspected.
04:42The man I slept next every single night
04:44turned out to have such a demonic side.
04:57Monica!
04:58Mommy is such a lazy bogus.
05:00Still sleeping in.
05:01Monica doesn't sleep in anymore.
05:08Sweetie, Monica is the best.
05:13Oh, right.
05:13Didn't mom and dad say they were coming today
05:15to spend Christmas with you?
05:16Did they say when they'd arrive?
05:21You seem pretty concerned about that.
05:23I was just thinking I should prepare Christmas scripts
05:26for mom and dad in advance.
05:28Is that so?
05:32What's wrong, honey?
05:33Did I do something to upset you?
05:37No, you've been great.
05:42All right.
05:43Monica's going to be late for kindergarten.
05:45Leave the gift shopping things to Delilah.
05:47Okay.
05:48I'll take Monica to kindergarten first.
05:50I'll come back to pick you up later tonight.
05:53My little princess.
05:54Time to go to kindergarten.
06:01Goodbye, mommy.
06:06Wait!
06:16Monica's hair is messy.
06:18Let me fix it for her.
06:23Oh, okay.
06:25Hurry up.
06:26It's going to be late.
06:28Wait.
06:32Wait.
06:39Monica, can you tell mommy?
06:42In your heart, is mommy a bad person?
06:48Monica, why aren't you saying anything?
06:55Monica, tell mommy.
06:57Please tell mommy, okay?
07:00Just say.
07:02Say that mommy isn't a big meanie.
07:04That mommy isn't a murderer.
07:06Just say it already.
07:08Huh?
07:16What's wrong, Monica?
07:17What's going on?
07:20Open the door!
07:21Open up!
07:29What's wrong with you?
07:30Nothing.
07:32You take Monica to kindergarten.
07:45Why?
07:47Why did I become a murderer condemned by everyone in my last life when I knew nothing and did nothing?
07:55You parent killer.
07:57You're a demon.
07:58You died a horrible death.
08:01And mom and dad had just said they booked a restaurant to spend Christmas with me.
08:06Yet just a few hours later, I turned out not to be their biological daughter.
08:11And they were even going to kick me out.
08:18You handed this to me yourself, Kalia.
08:20How much longer are you going to keep lying?
08:25Even Monica, who used to cling to me all the time since she was little, said that I was the
08:30murderer who killed her grandparents.
08:32I hate mommy.
08:34She's evil.
08:35She killed grandpa and grandma.
08:37Monica doesn't want such a bad mommy anymore.
08:40Everything in my last life seemed connected, but now that I look back in details, there are so many holes.
08:46No, this time I can't just sit and wait.
08:48I have to take the initiative.
08:55Honey, I've already asked Delilah to prepare gifts for mom and dad.
08:58Don't worry.
09:22Jack, could you help me look into something?
09:34I've got it all figured out.
09:35Like you expected, there's definitely something fishing.
09:37And while I was investigating, I also found a few other suspicious things related to your parents.
09:42Send me your location.
09:43I'll bring you the detailed info.
09:46Thanks, Jack.
09:51Just as I thought.
09:52These whole things were just a setup.
09:56Miss Kalia, I'm about to get on flight.
09:58Anything I can do for you?
09:59You're the lawyer my parents trust the most.
10:01So I'd like to ask you for a favor.
10:03But please don't tell anyone else for me.
10:05Not even my parents.
10:06I don't want them to worry.
10:07Okay, Miss Kalia.
10:08Don't worry.
10:09I know what to do.
10:12This time, I'm going to see for myself.
10:15What the truth really is.
10:29Your phone, Miss Kalia.
10:34Never mind.
10:36Just keep going.
10:47The subscriber dials.
10:50You can power off.
11:02What now?
11:14Why would she suddenly turn off her phone?
11:17The reporters I arranged for are already here.
11:20What do we do now?
11:21Forget waiting.
11:23Stick to the plan.
11:29Miss Kalia, time's up.
11:35Yeah, looks good.
11:40The murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson is their own daughter, Kalia.
11:46I regret it.
11:47I really regret it.
11:49If I hadn't told that devil that Mr. Johnson was going to change his wheel, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson
11:54wouldn't have fallen victim to her.
11:56I'm the one who harmed them.
11:58I'm guilty.
11:59I'm so guilty.
12:02A daughter kills her parents?
12:04Is that for real?
12:05I have to believe.
12:11I have proof.
12:13I have a recording of Mr. Johnson calling me before he died.
12:17Listen.
12:18This daughter of mine is nothing but an ungrateful snake.
12:20All she ever wants is my estate, my assets, her mother's jewelry.
12:23She even yells at us and treats us like servants, so I've decided.
12:26Since she's not our biological child anyway, I'll leave everything to my son-in-law, Goldie.
12:30At least he'll take care of me in my old age and bury me when I'm gone.
12:36Dad!
12:37Mom!
12:38I'm too late!
12:40I failed you as a son!
12:46This is Kalia's husband.
12:48If you still don't believe me, feel free to ask him.
13:00Delilah is right.
13:03I've been put up with Kalia for five years.
13:07From the very first day of our marriage, she tried to push me into the company to steal the inheritance.
13:16But my father-in-law treated me like his own son.
13:19How could I do something so heartless?
13:27At the moment I showed even a hint of disagreement, she'd hit me and yell at me, saying I was
13:35nothing but a dog she kept.
13:37She even threatened that if I didn't obey her, she'd throw me out like trash!
13:48This woman is absolutely despicable!
13:50She doesn't even treat her own husband like a human being!
13:54Exactly!
14:01And every time we visited her parents, not only would she bring cheap gifts,
14:08but she'd also force me to steal my mother-in-law's jewelry to sell.
14:13But my mother-in-law treated me like her own son.
14:16I couldn't bear it, so I used my own meager salary to cover her expenses.
14:27I kept begging her to stop.
14:32But I never expected her to go even further.
14:37To actually kill the parents who raised her for 25 years!
14:41A viper-hearted woman like her is worse than an animal!
14:54Still don't believe me.
14:55You can ask my daughter.
15:02I hate mommy!
15:05She's evil!
15:06She killed grandpa and grandma!
15:10Monica doesn't want such a bad mommy anymore!
15:29I really have to say, Calia, your husband's acting is pretty impressive.
15:33Someone who didn't know might think it was his own parents who died.
15:40The more viciously they curse me now, the harder their faces will get.
15:43The more viciously they laugh later.
15:46So, Jack, are you interested in watching the show with me?
15:54I love you.
16:05But you didn't feel an ounce of remorse.
16:08Instead, you went insane and did something so heinous to them.
16:11You deserve to die.
16:15No, I didn't.
16:16That's not true.
16:17That's not how it happened.
16:20Right, Monica.
16:21Monica is my daughter.
16:22She's only five years old.
16:23She would never lie.
16:25Monica, sweetie, tell them.
16:26Mommy's been framed.
16:28Mommy didn't kill grandpa and grandma, right?
16:32Calia, the evidence is right in your face.
16:35And you're still trying to threaten a five-year-old into lying for you?
16:38And you really are worse than an animal.
16:41No, I'm not threatening her.
16:44Monica is my own daughter.
16:46How could I ever threaten her?
16:48You're still not giving up, huh?
16:50Fine, Monica.
16:51You tell them.
16:52Tell them what kind of vicious woman your mother really is.
16:59No one's gonna hurt you.
17:04I hate mommy.
17:06She's evil.
17:07She killed grandpa and grandmama.
17:10Monica doesn't want such a bad mommy anymore.
17:16No!
17:17Monica, how could you?
17:21Even her own daughter is testifying against her.
17:23Just how despicable can this woman be?
17:27Even the Furies, the goddess of revenge, wouldn't tolerate it.
17:30That's not true.
17:31That's not true.
17:33That's not true.
17:34That's not true.
17:35Calia, I thought I was gonna, for the sake of our marriage,
17:37maybe put in a good word with the judge if you just confess.
17:40But you refuse to admit your fault.
17:42Fine.
17:43You say mom and dad's death has nothing to do with you?
17:47Then I'll let police come and see whether this has anything to do with you or not.
18:02Why is she here?
18:04And so calm.
18:08Calia!
18:09You have the nerve to show up here?
18:12Stop!
18:13You've killed Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
18:18And you don't feel even a shred of guilt!
18:28Guilt?
18:31The only thing I feel guilty about is not seeing through you too fast or soon.
18:39Calia, what the hell are you talking about?
18:45The evidence is stalling!
18:48Don't tell me you're still denying!
18:55Once the johnkeys get here, we'll push them off and train Calia for it.
18:58I've already altered the will.
18:59I've already altered the will.
18:59All the assets will be out.
19:00Don't worry.
19:01I've already coached Monica.
19:03She'll testify against Calia.
19:04And I've faked the fraternity test report too.
19:06It's absolutely simple.
19:10It's true.
19:15It's true.
19:17It's true.
19:19It's true.
19:46It's true.
19:49You've been the third boat with only half feet away, what is the way of���
20:06Mr. Johnson! Mrs. Johnson!
20:12You monster!
20:14Delina, why? Why would you even do this to your own parents?
20:20Delina, what are you even talking about?
20:22Kalea, just drop the act already!
20:26I've known for a long time that you've been after the Johnson family fortune, but they're still your parents!
20:32How could you bring yourself to do this?
20:37Oh my god, this woman actually killed her own parents for money!
20:40Actually killed her own parents for money?
20:42A parent killer like her deserves the cruelest punishment in the world.
20:45May her soul be forever in the nightmare of the Furies, the goddess of revenge.
20:50No, look at me!
20:52No, look at me!
20:53I didn't do it!
20:57Kalea!
20:58Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are lying down here, breathless!
21:02I can't believe you still have the nerve to argue right now!
21:05Mr. Johnson, it's all my fault!
21:09I shouldn't have revealed that you were changing your will!
21:12And I definitely shouldn't have told her that you were coming back to kick this heartless woman out!
21:17It's my fault!
21:19It's all my fault!
21:21I have no idea what you're talking about!
21:24My parents and I have always been close!
21:27If you don't believe me, ask my husband, he'll vouch for me!
21:32He is clear enough and you're still lying?
21:38Fine, I'll do what you want.
21:40I'll call Mr. Goldie right now, so everyone can see what kind of monster you really are!
21:45No need to call anyone!
21:52Goldie!
21:53Monica!
21:55I can prove Delilah is telling the truth!
22:13I can prove Delilah is telling the truth to the truth to the truth to the truth to the truth!
22:27You forged it!
22:30Kalia, you devil!
22:35Faith?
22:39Should I also show everyone the evidence
22:41of you bribing the health supplement store clerk
22:44to put sleeping pills in my parents' vitamins?
22:54Stop him!
22:57He's the real mastermind behind my parents' murder!
23:28He's the real mastermind behind my parents'
23:29You're a bad woman!
23:30He's the real mastermind behind my parents'
23:31I hate you!
23:45You okay? This kid is pretty vicious.
23:53Someone taught her to be.
23:59I'm really sorry, Ms. Kalia.
24:02Goldie got away.
24:03We've set up a dragnat, but he seems to have prepared in advance and hit an escape route.
24:10In my last life, they succeeded in framing me.
24:16And I died with hatred.
24:18I just didn't expect him to have a backup plan.
24:22He's quite meticulous.
24:25By the way, where's Delilah?
24:28She's emotionally out of control.
24:30Keep screaming she's innocent.
24:33She also said she has an important secret to tell you.
24:36Oh, she'll only tell you.
24:48Carlia, you think you've won?
24:50You're wrong!
24:52Your parents' death?
24:54It wasn't just me and Goldie.
24:56There's someone else behind it!
25:06Maine.
25:08It's someone you'd never expect in your whole life.
25:12And I can tell you,
25:14he's been right by your side the whole time,
25:17watching you get played like a fool.
25:37Oh, no!
25:39She's been poisoned!
25:41Right by my side?
25:45Who could she be talking about?
25:54Miss Kalia,
25:56we detected a potent toxin in Delilah's system.
26:00It's a rare plant-based poison
26:02that can only be ingested orally.
26:04We found a piece of candy in her pocket.
26:07The toxin came from that candy.
26:11Candy?
26:12Who gave it to her?
26:13Not sure yet.
26:14The security camera only caught a blurry figure.
26:17Can't make out the face.
26:19But we can confirm
26:20that someone secretly gave it to her
26:22after we took Delilah into custody.
26:25Sergeant,
26:26we request to see the autopsy report
26:28on Mr. and Mrs. Johnson.
26:30As for the person behind it all
26:31that Delilah just mentioned,
26:32we suspect it might be
26:33one of the former members
26:35of the Johnson's family.
26:47No, that's not right.
26:49The cause of my parents' death
26:51wasn't just the fall.
26:53They also had this same plant toxin
26:56in their bodies.
26:56They were already poisoned
26:57before they fell.
27:02What?
27:03So that means Goldie and Delilah
27:05were just the executors.
27:07The real killer is the one
27:08who gave them the poison
27:09and ordered them to do it?
27:16Exactly.
27:18And this person must know
27:19my parents' daily routines very well.
27:21Could easily get to Delilah
27:23and even tamper with things
27:24inside the police station.
27:37Kalia, don't waste your effort.
27:40Your parents' death,
27:41they had it coming.
27:43If you keep digging,
27:45you'll be the next to die.
27:48Who are you?
27:49Why did you kill my parents?
27:52Who I am doesn't matter.
27:53What matters is that you should stop now.
27:56Tomorrow at 3 p.m.
27:57At the usual place,
27:59I'll tell you the whole truth.
28:01You dare to come.
28:11There are things you wouldn't understand.
28:14In this life,
28:15I have no way back.
28:31Kalia, you actually dared to come.
28:33As expected of the Johnson family heiress.
28:36Who are you?
28:37Take off that mask.
28:39Did you kill my parents?
28:41Did you kill my parents?
28:47No way!
28:48How could it be you?
28:50You were supposed to be dead.
28:54Dead?
28:56That hypocrite.
28:58Your father.
28:59He stopped at nothing
29:00to get the family business back then.
29:07Not only did he brutally kill my wife
29:09and my newborn daughter,
29:20poured a whole bottle of whiskey
29:22all over me
29:23and tried to make it look like
29:24a drunk driving accident.
29:33So.
29:38How could I die
29:40before getting my revenge?
29:42No, that's not how it happened.
29:44Actually, that...
29:45Kalia, I'm sorry.
29:46You threatened me
29:47to do so.
29:49He had dirt on me
29:50and Delilah
29:50and he said he'd kill Monica.
29:52I had no choice
29:54but to go along with him.
29:55Shut up!
29:56You useless piece of trash.
30:07Kalia, what your father owes me
30:10you'll pay it back for me.
30:12Once you're dead,
30:12I'll become the sole master
30:14of the Johnson family.
30:16Everything you have
30:17will be mine.
30:33Monica, didn't you say
30:35Mommy was a bad person?
30:36That you'd bite Mommy to death?
30:40Then why are you...
30:41Mommy,
30:42I'm sorry.
30:44I lied to you before.
30:50It was Grandpa.
30:52No, it was Richard.
30:54Who forced me.
30:56He said
30:57if I didn't testify against you,
31:00he'd kill Daddy.
31:07Hurry!
31:08Take Monica to the hospital!
31:11Stay away!
31:13Stay away!
31:14I'll handle things here!
31:25All of you!
31:27Go to hell!
31:40You think this is over?
31:42I planted a bomb
31:43in this warehouse!
31:47The moment I pressed this button,
31:50everyone here
31:51dies with me!
31:57Miss Kalia,
31:58that kid has lost a lot of blood
31:59and the knife hit a vital spot.
32:02We'll do our best,
32:03but whether she survives...
32:12Carlia!
32:13Richard has gone crazy!
32:15He won't put down the remote,
32:16and he says he'll blow it up
32:17unless you come back!
32:18Fine, I'll be right there.
32:46Who sent you?
32:47Richard?
32:52I don't know.
32:53I just do what I'm paid for.
33:00Are you okay?
33:04That just scared the hell out of me.
33:06Richard still had a standoff over there.
33:08He says he'll only meet with you
33:09one-on-one.
33:11I'm fine.
33:12Let's go now.
33:12We can't let him set off that bomb.
33:23You finally came, Kalia.
33:25I almost thought you might not dare.
33:27Richard, stop this.
33:28You killed my parents
33:30and harmed so many others.
33:33Even if you set off that bomb,
33:35it won't change anything.
33:37You'll just add more to your crimes.
33:39Who cares about adding more crimes?
33:40I stopped caring long ago!
33:43All I want now
33:44is for you to go down below
33:45and repent to my wife,
33:47to my one-month-old daughter,
33:49paying for their deaths!
33:53Richard, wake up.
33:55When Auntie and Kalina were killed,
33:59my father was discussing with Grandpa
34:02how to protect you
34:04because of the embezzlement.
34:08If he really wanted you dead
34:10and wanted to take your position in the family,
34:13why would he go to Grandpa
34:15after you made an unforgivable mistake?
34:17You're lying!
34:19No way!
34:20It was your father who framed me!
34:25This is the resolution
34:26my father and Grandpa worked out back then,
34:29plus the family shares allocated to you.
34:32If you don't believe me,
34:33look at this file.
34:55I don't believe me!
35:02Wait! Richard is still in here! We can't just leave him!
35:09Impossible. I was wrong.
35:13Come on! There's still time!
35:16Kelly, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
35:19I shouldn't have killed your parents.
35:22I shouldn't have harmed so many people.
35:24This isn't the time for that. Move!
35:28No!
35:28No!
35:30No!
35:32No!
35:38No!
35:43No!
35:45No!
35:46No!
35:46No!
35:49No!
35:49Kalea, there's one more thing I need to tell you.
35:52Your parents will.
35:53I hid it.
35:54It's in my old villa.
35:56Inside, you'll find everything you need, along with the evidence of my embezzlement.
36:01It's the only way I can make up for what I owe you and the Johnson family.
36:15Miss Kalia, your daughter is safe now.
36:18She's still unconscious, but she's out of danger.
36:20With proper rest, she should wake up soon.
36:33Everything's over.
36:34You can rest easy now.
36:39No, it's not over yet.
36:42Richard confessed.
36:43But the will he mentioned, and the things from back then, I have to get to the bottom
36:49of them.
36:52And Delilah's death.
36:54Who really poisoned her?
36:55I have a feeling things aren't that simple.
37:13How is this possible?
37:15Why is there a tattoo on Monica?
37:26This tattoo is exactly the same as the one on your necklace.
37:29Could it also be connected to the goddess of revenge, the Furies?
37:33I don't know.
37:33Monica is Delilah and Goldie's child, and maybe Delilah got it tattooed on her?
37:37But why would Delilah do that?
37:49Nurse, have you seen the tattoo on this child's wrist?
37:52Did she already have it when she was admitted?
37:56Yes, I've seen it.
37:58It doesn't look like a normal tattoo.
38:00It's more like it's natural.
38:02Or maybe it was tattooed when she was very young.
38:05The color is very deep.
38:07It doesn't look recent.
38:09That's clearly a tattoo.
38:11How could it be natural?
38:20Miss Kalia, where did Richard say the world was hidden?
38:24He said in the study's safe, and the password is his birthday.
38:47This handwriting looks like Richard's journal.
38:51The mark of the Furies will fall upon the descendants of the sinful.
38:56Only redemption can break the curse.
38:58The mark?
38:59Did the tattoo on Monica's wrist be the mark of the Furies?
39:20Who's this woman?
39:22My mother's younger sister.
39:23When I was little, Mom told me she died 20 years ago.
39:27So how did her photo end up here?
39:29And this baby, why does it look so much like Monica?
39:32She gave birth to a daughter and named her Monica.
39:35To protect them, I had Delilah and Goldie adopt her.
39:39I also tattooed the mark of the Furies on Monica's wrist.
39:42They say it can protect her and break the curse of this family.
39:45Look at this page.
39:46It seems to mention your biological parents.
39:49It looks like...
39:54No!
39:55This can't be true!
39:57Why are my biological parents Lilith and Richard?
40:04What did you say?
40:05There's a woman about to jump off the building with Monica?
40:18There's a woman about to jump off the building with Monica.
40:19You finally came.
40:24My daughter.
