MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
ALL FIGURES, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, JOBS, AND OTHERS
IN THIS DRAMA IT IS FICTIONAL
"EPISODE 9"
Why did you kill me?
Seem...
Monster.
Seem!
With…
Seem.
Good grief. Call for help.
SEOUL POLICE
The National Forensic Service called. That's his.
The fingerprints on the folding knife belonged to Kim Bongju.
What about the blood?
Not his blood, but the blood of a woman with type B blood.
We have Cha DNA, right?
What?
While holding it,
we take a hair sample for the drug test.
Compare the DNA.
What can we do?
The case has been withdrawn.
It was already difficult enough to examine the folding knife.
Ask your friend to do it again.
Come on…
The night Kim Bongju died,
Cha Seeum left the hotel and didn't come back.
Looking at the time, he must have come out after Bongju called.
We just need CCTV footage from that night to prove it.
Nonetheless…
If Cha was guilty, do you think it would end here?
Let's catch him first. I'll take care of the rest.
Ya, Pak.
Next news. Conductor Cha Seeum of the Hangang Philharmonic
fainted while performing.
Cha Seeum faints while leading
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, or what is known as Fate Symphony.
In light of his recent statements about the possibility of being hit by Remington,
this fainting...
The audience sees everything, so there's nothing they can do.
Right after fainting,
- he was rushed… - Now what?
…by ambulance to the hospital and currently…
Are you just going to keep quiet?
No explanation
about Cha Seeum's fainting.
However…
this could be my last orchestra.
What should I do?
What can I do to help Seeum recover?
It's getting late, you should go home.
You are okay?
Of.
can i accompany him
Sorry?
Today is difficult for you.
I think it's better for you to go home and rest.
I'm fine.
I'm pretty sure he'll be worried about you too.
The doctor said he would wake up soon,
so don't worry.
If possible, I would like to accompany him tonight.
Nonetheless…
You have no idea how much he helped me.
I really want to help.
Can you tell me about Cha Seeum's condition?
He was taken to the ER.
Are you a journalist?
We cannot provide patient information...
I'm her husband.
Why are you here?
He had been taken to his room.
He is fine?
Or he was hospitalized
because the pain is serious?
His test results showed anemia, but he was taken upstairs
because I need a break. Reporters kept coming looking for him.
- So? - Do you want the room number?
No.
Sorry?
I want to call him before going to the room.
Okay.
Wish you a beautiful day.
Seem.
How do you feel?
I'll call the doctor.
What happened?
How's the concert going?
Don't you remember?
You passed out on stage.
Seem.
You are okay?
I'm worried.
Who would have thought that he would faint on stage like that?
I know.
Very unexpected.
I don't think so.
He could have had a Remington.
Watch your words.
He who said he was at risk of contracting Remington.
He said it, not me.
However,
if you do have this disease,
will he leave Hanphil?
CHA SEEUM COUNTED DURING THE PERFORMANCE, WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL
The air is very dry.
It's okay.
Seem.
Do you want to eat something?
I will buy it.
You need to rest and eat if you have anemia...
I want to go home.
Sorry?
Do you want to go home yet?
You need more rest...
It's better to rest at home.
Not that here will be more…
Hospitals are uncomfortable.
Seem.
I'll take you home.
That can't be done.
Why not?
We have to show documentaries now if we want high ratings.
Do you know?
From Cha Seeum and Hanphil,
let's highlight him and Remington…
You think this broadcast is a joke?
You think you can broadcast whatever you want?
The preview just isn't finished yet.
We were the only ones filming Seeum fainting!
That's why news can get out quickly.
Finish editing and broadcast the documentary immediately.
Have exclusive news
means you can't be careless.
Come on!
Jeongjae rejected you, so you took it out on Seeum.
This is a wrong outlet for your anger.
You have to stop obsessing over Jeongjae.
He won't change.
I already know that.
Why did you react like that? You've heard this.
Exclusive news about our divorce.
Also the documentary Hanphil starring a divorced couple.
I will give both to KVN.
What do you think? Ratings will skyrocket.
Not the right time.
We have to up the ante.
CHA SEEUM COUNTED DURING THE PERFORMANCE, WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL
SEEUM MUSIC SHOP
Thank You.
- Hey, father. - Yes.
You are like Dad, never obey.
Dad told me to stay in the hospital.
I am hungry.
Wash your hands.
Of.
It's been a long time since I had Dad's soy soup.
You really want this?
- Until you get out of the hospital? - Surely.
Eat it.
Thank You.
How?
Very delicious.
- Dad eats too. - Of course.
Surely you remember this.
If symptoms have started,
you will step down from the podium.
What's this?
There's nothing strange about me meeting my wife
in the hotel lobby.
Well, I'm just asking for information.
Information?
Is this related to the case?
That was the night Kim Bongju died.
Cha Seeum was the last person he called before he died.
Right after that call,
the two of you met in the lobby.
So, please tell whatever you know.
I understand that it's difficult to talk about your wife,
but someone died.
- Even the smallest details… - He's different
that night.
There's something strange about him.
He also smelled of alcohol.
It feels like…
he was rushing somewhere.
So, Kim Bongju died that night?
- Hello? - Can say
Why doesn't Seeum answer his cell phone?
What?
This is not how you resign.
Is he there? Let me talk.
What did you say?
Seeum resigned?
Yes, I just called Mr. Jeon.
CALL SEEUM
The number you dialed does not answer. Please leave…
Why can't you open the door?
You know I'm Cha Seeum's husband.
Sorry, these are our rules.
This is not the time for rules...
Provide the primary key.
Open the door now. A medical patient disappeared.
- Sorry, I can't... - Excuse me.
- Hello, Mr. Yoo. - Open now.
Yes of course.
Get lost.
Wah.
It seems money can do…
what my husband can't do.
Good. Just keep going if you want to be dragged out.
Mr. Yoo, it's ready.
Seem?
How is the result?
He's not at a rehab center or a music store.
Okay.
Hello, Chief. This is Yoo Jeongjae.
This time I want to ask for help.
Of.
Seuum stop?
What do you mean? Says who?
I just heard Mr. Jeon and Ms. Hwang discussed it.
It is impossible.
Is it true?
Seeum really resigned?
Of.
I can't believe this.
He didn't answer his cell phone.
Turned off.
He can't do this.
How did he throw it all away…
Officer
- Pak? - Ya, Bu.
Can you turn off the radio?
Of course.
The number you dialed does not answer. Please leave…
Where did it go?
This is what I found.
It seems he was staying at a hotel in Gangwon-do.
I'll send you the address.
What are you doing here?
I think Seeum might be here.
Can't be contacted and he...
He said he needed rest.
He can't be alone.
- If Dad knows where he is… - Don't look for him.
Dad…
It's best not to call me that anymore.
What?
I heard you guys are getting a divorce.
I don't know the details,
but I'm in favor of it.
So, you are no longer welcome here.
Seem.
Seem!
How did you know I was here?
Why are you here?
I'm fine, please...
Don't tell me to go away.
However, I won't ask.
Of?
You wake up early.
Come on, have breakfast.
There are horse wheat noodles,
roasted deodeok root ,
and potato dumpling soup.
You just want coffee?
You just eat.
You have to have breakfast. Look, the choices are many.
This one sounds delicious. It's called "Come With Me".
Want to be with me?
Hey.
Let's see.
Wow, the panorama is beautiful.
However, this one is better.
Drink while cold.
Thank You.
There are no heroes
In life
There are no heroes in life
You say life is full of sweetness
It turns out life is full of rot
Still mine
Mine, my life, my story
All this is just a matter of choice
That look full of denial
That's how it is
That is life
So, isn't it Cha Seeum?
The DNA doesn't match.
So, whose blood is on Kim Bongju's knife?
Who knows.
We need the DNA of other individuals for comparison.
Who is it?
This is so sweet!
- Let's buy this one too. - Really?
Want to ask your little one?
How about it, little one? Do you like this?
- Can you please count? - Of course.
Mom!
Mom, I'm coming!
Your mother said she would come back for you.
No, please!
Mom!
Mother…
Officer
You really came.
Don't drink alone.
I'm so confused.
I know the feeling.
I know you're close to Seeum.
Let's drink together.
I can't believe he's like this.
How could he just disappear?
He threw it all away.
Come on, let's drink together.
Go ahead.
Of?
Do you think I'm a bad person?
What?
It feels like I'm always left out.
Always.
I'm always left alone.
No.
You're a good person, Luna.
Those who go are the bad ones.
Do you think so?
Of course.
Thank You.
So, don't think too much about it...
I really appreciate this.
DAD, I WANT TO TRAVEL FOR A LONG TIME
FATHER DO NOT NEED TO WORRY
DAD, I'M GOING TO TRAVEL
DON'T BE TOO WORRY FORGIVE ME, DAD
What are you doing?
What's this?
Do you want to go?
Is this a suicide message?
So?
You think I won't understand the meaning of "travel"?
That's why you wrote this?
What are your plans in this unknown location?
Come on, say it.
What do you want…
Wait.
That's why you obeyed me today?
Will that be your last gift to me?
Will you jump into the sea again like when we first met?
So, that's why you were standing there yesterday.
I can't believe how selfish you are.
Do you only think about yourself?
Don't you see how hard I tried?
You can't do this.
You can't go. I will not let go.
I…
I also want to live.
However, there is no other way.
If it really hits Remington...
I can't live like that.
I can't afford to lose everything.
I don't want my father...
look at me like that.
What happened to my mother...
I don't need to experience it anymore.
I can't bear it.
Even my mother doesn't want me to live like her.
I want to do it before forgetting everything.
As long as I'm still me.
As long as…
I still have a choice.
Me too…
I also want to live.
KVN is coming here to shoot a documentary.
The host is Professor Kim.
Mrs. Cha knows and still agrees to it.
They will start shooting soon.
Is this really okay?
Of course, I'll let you know soon.
Do you know?
Of?
Two.
- What's wrong with you? - What do you mean?
You didn't come home all night. Have a new girlfriend?
Come on, tell me.
Wait, that must be him.
- You're early. - Yes.
I finished early.
Luna, I didn't know you were home.
Two.
We took a day off to shop for our new house.
If you're ready, let's go.
Why the rush?
There's a lot to do, so it's best to get going.
We'll chat later.
I want to hear about last night.
Go away.
- OK, see you later. - Yes.
Yes, Luna.
Oh, yeah.
- Come on. - Yes.
See you later.
Seem.
If you are serious about treatment,
I'll make sure you get it, wherever it is.
If you want to travel, we can go anywhere as long as we stay together.
Let's be together longer.
Think about it.
I will be waiting for you.
PHIL, TAEHO, TN. JEON, JEONGJAE
Conductor resigns,
and the concertmaster skipped class.
Is something going on here?
What should we do now?
Seeum's time really stopped?
It's here
help us be recognized.
How irresponsible,
he left without saying goodbye.
Why did he bring back everyone who stopped?
Yes, this is not true!
"We will be the best."
He promised we would do it together.
Maybe we should try to persuade him to come back.
Yes, let's do it together.
Let's go.
However, he could not be contacted, and was not at the hotel.
So…
is this really how it ends?
Time to finish this.
I am willing to accept all the conditions.
Forgive me.
I'm a little late.
- Here, drink some coffee. - Thank You.
Rooibos tea for you.
Good for anemia.
What are you discussing?
Mrs. Cha has agreed
to accept all your terms.
So.
Let's finish it quickly. There's no reason to linger.
Think of our years together.
Do you think it can be resolved quickly?
Where are you from? Why can't I contact you?
Tell me where are you from!
I don't have to answer it.
Your behavior is strange. You could endanger yourself.
You have to be careful.
What if I faint again?
Or worse.
What if you forget again?
Like that night.
Not important. Nothing will change.
Because whatever you wish, it will never happen.
Going forward, talk to my lawyer.
I never want to see you again.
Jeongjae!
Don't do this now.
Step aside.
You said Mrs. Cha is back.
Don't you have to do something?
I'm patiently waiting.
What?
Until the time is right.
So, get out of the way.
Come on!
What do you mean, you're leaving?
A lot happened.
- Seeum. - I haven't told Dad yet.
Hey.
You are okay?
It seems strange that you suddenly left.
I'm fine.
Seem.
You're a workaholic, you know?
It's common for people like you to faint.
The main thing is,
anyone can experience it. It doesn't mean you're sick.
You're always working, so it's a bit tired.
Don't think too much about it, okay?
Anemia can be treated
by eating right and getting rest…
You know a lot
about my mother and me.
I don't know.
Hyejeong.
What do you want to do alone?
Where would you go alone?
You don't need to worry.
Just be honest,
I'm not sure what I want...
but I have to go.
Please take care of my father.
Forgive me.
Can't you...
lean on me?
I don't want anyone to see me, not even you or Dad.
Really, you are...
You understand, right?
- Hey, you're coming. - Of course.
What is it?
I heard Mrs. Cha is back.
What?
However, I think he plans to leave.
It seems he asked Mr. Jeon accepts his resignation.
Mr. Yoo appeared to accept the decision.
They might go with…
"Went together"?
Actually…
You mean Seeum went with Mr. Yo?
What?
I'm not sure. It's like this...
Boss!
I have to go.
Please take care of my father.
Forgive me.
Good morning Boss.
Morning.
Didn't you know that employees feel bad when their boss is ahead of work?
You should have slept more.
Now his boss was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Hey, don't blame me.
Of?
Kau kerabat Ny Cha Seem?
Correct.
We got the blood test results
from the last time he was hospitalized.
There's something unusual.
How dare you do this?
I thought we would stay together.
Seeum, please don't go.
Forgive me.
I will try to do better.
There's nothing wrong with you.
This is all my fault.
That's why I went.
Hanphil would be better this way.
Seem.
A moment.
Are you okay, Seum?
Why don't you answer your cell phone?
Is there any problem?
Your hospital called.
There is something unusual in your blood test.
They said you might have been poisoned.
Maybe that's why you fainted.
I…
I think I know...
who did it?
Look at this.
JEONGJAE, THEY'RE FILMING
WILL YOU DO MY ORDER?
GIVE HIM A LUNCH BOX AND COFFEE
DO YOU THINK SHE WANT TO DRINK COFFEE?
I PUT SANDBREAD AND COFFEE IN HIS OFFICE
I am dead
How stupid I am
My soul is torn and wounded
I am dead
I swallowed myself
Seem.
Like a lonely and angry monster
Wiped me out cruelly
In the middle of a peaceful universe
What is it?
You really assigned Taeho
be my personal assistant?
I stand small Behind the giant's shadow
In the middle of a storm. In the middle of a strong wind
Jeongjae.
I was born again
Forgive me.
Oh God, save me
What did you put in my food?
What?
If you poison me so I can't think straight,
You think I will stay with you?
How stupid I am
My soul is torn and wounded
I am dead
I swallowed myself
Like a lonely and angry monster
Wiped me out cruelly
You also die when you become stronger
More quiet, now we are lonely
MAESTRA: STRINGS OF TRUTH
What if he starts showing Remington symptoms?
That means someone deliberately poisoned him.
I'm surprised you came back, considering your condition.
How dare you do that to Seeum.
I was a fool to think I could trust you.
I'll do anything for you. Whatever.
Congratulations on your divorce.
You're hoping I'll get a Remington and lose my memory?
If you get in my way, you will pay.
However, you are in a dangerous situation.
Whatever you do to me, you will not get your wish.
