The Legend of the Blue Sea (푸른 바다의 전설)

Episode 4

Sir, last night in many villages along the coast, they say there were strange occurrences.

The clothes that were hung in the backyards, and shoes disappeared.

In their place, they say a rare quality pearl was left.

A pearl?

Oh My!

How can there be a burglar who takes only a few clothes and leave such a thing as a pearl behind?

If only the burglar also decided to stop by here...

Look here, Hong Nan. Half your dresser is pearls and precious treasures of gold and silver.

I apologize that this concubine is overflowing with materialistic greed.

Since I am not able to completely have my spouse to myself, just

think that I am compensating for that emptiness with material goods.

What I mean is, Hong Nan,

I'm saying that I will fill that other half of your dresser with jewels.

How long would that take...

Even though I'm busy as you can see, do you know why I'm on fire trying to catch a mermaid?

If I catch a mermaid, I can beat her and extract her tears again, and again until she dies

so that underneath each step you take can be adorned lavishly with pearls.

That's my plan.

And you have a way to catch one?

Method or not, that one will come back on her own.

Don't you think so, Caretaker Cheon?

That's right. From the old times, the mermaid would come up to the village

and wear the clothes or eat food, they were sure to pay it back

with rare pearls that can only be found in the deep sea.

So are you saying that the clothing thief was a mermaid?

Are you saying a mermaid came up to this village?

The mermaid who has fallen for the human always comes to land.

That is part of their inherent nature.

The mermaid who can only love once in her lifetime

stakes her life on that one love.

For the mermaid, her one true love has appeared

and for me the lone opportunity has presented itself.

Let's do it like this, Caretaker Cheon.

Put out people to catch the mermaid before the village head does.

Hong Nan, you do your best to make sure a vicious rumor is circulated as swift as possible.

By vicious rumor you mean...?

The vicious rumor should be that recently a huge storm has caused the fishing boats to go missing

ruining houses and fields, making the mountain collapse that killed all the fish

is all because of that bad omen, a mermaid.

Since all of that happened on the night when the mermaid was washed ashore and caught,

it truly seems plausible.

This kid's smart.

But that ominous mermaid

with malicious intent selfishly hid herself deep inside the village while taking human form.

And if we don't stop her, an even bigger calamity would unfold

many people will be injured and die.

In five days time, there are many fishing boats scheduled to go out to catch squid.

They'll be brimming with concern over the wind and waves.

There's no better timing than this!

There's nothing better than fear to stop the people's thoughts.

The village head won't be able to go against terrified villagers.

Of course, sir.

If we're good, we can also force the village head into a deadly situation along with the mermaid.

Naive love is giving me great joy.

Aigoo, the mermaid that was caught that day

has returned back on land, have you heard?

I heard she came to kill us all!

They say that storm was caused by the mermaid!

Aigoo, what can be done. If we get storm again, isn't my husband

going to return as a sea ghost if he rides out in his boat?

- Then we need to immediately capture and kill that wily thing! - Exactly!

What's the village head doing?!

Village Head! They say the mermaid has come up to the village!

Everyone is about to die!

I'm saying you can't come here and be like this!

I got the message so please go back!

Look, have you finally lost your mind?

Didn't you just receive the report on what kind of strange

rumors are circulating within the administrative district?

But what? Who're you going to look for?

I think Sae Hwa came to see me. I had requested it last time.

I asked her to come see me at the 20th solar division (lays between the

(first day of winter and the first big snow, around the 22nd of November)

and that I want to be able to see the first snow with her.

I mean... look here. For someone who's educated why are you being like this!

The subdivisions in the year are just that.

Just because it is November 22th it doesn't mean that the snow will be like falling...

Dam Ryeong! Dam Ryeong!

You can 't!

If she really came to land, that means she risked her life.

The same goes for me. What am I not able to stake at this point?

Think of your family! Think of your father! Your honor and position!

In Shin An (COUNTY)'s Docho Island, Yeosu's Geomoon Island, Incheon's Jangbong Island.

I asked the elders from the places where the mermaids frequent and there is only one answer:

The biggest weakness of the mermaid who came on land

are her legs. After her legs are severely wounded

She will lose all her strength. When abandoned she will die.

Thus you must not forget to attack her legs first.

Legend of the Blue Sea

The whereabouts of Ma Dae Young who was jailed in the Seoul Correctional Facility on murder charges,

unknown for the last three months. Unlike the initial

prediction by the police that he'll soon be apprehended

there isn't any headway in the investigation elevating the fears of the citizens.

Police have not ruled out the chance that Mr. Ma might have an

accomplice in his escape, and are continuing the investigation.

To find out the underlying motivation behind his jailbreak, police

are deeply investigating Mr. Ma's financial

- relationships and animosities. - That crazy bastard.

Yes, Ahjumma. You also packed the crabs in soy sauce, right?

Oh my. What happens if I bring this as is and the sauce would leak all over?

I already told you before, time and again.

If I ask to have food for take out, you should pay special attention to it.

Look here, you see the clasps? I locked them shut so

be sure to hold it upright properly.

I should have it stand like this?

Don't put it in the trunk

but place it on the floor in the car and be sure to secure it well.

On the car's floor? Securely?

You should be careful when you carry it.

Okay.

But who's whose superior?

Oh my! So funny. I'm speechless.

Yes, Madam. It's me, Jin Joo.

It's just that I have some side dishes that I think would match your taste and thought of you.

Yes, please taste it.

Wow, Mother. There's so many delicious things today.

Jin Joo gave it to us, saying it was made at her house.

Your sister's working real hard to make things work with our Chi Hyeon.

Is that so? If those who it concerns are fine then, well then that's that.

No, Father. I'm fine with everything if my parents like it.

Honey, our Chi Hyeon is like this. Others say he's a Papa's boy.

It's not good to be that too much.

Why?

- How is it? - Don't make me speak.

- It's too delicious. - Right?

Is it good, Heo Joon Jae?

Don't make me speak. It's too delicious.

Aigoo, we gave you the name 'Joon Jae' for you to become 'a brilliant man.'

But in order for our son to be a brilliant man, don't you

have to be a chebol (CONGLOMERATE OWNER) first, Honey?

- When are you going to become a chebol? - Wait just a little bit. Just a little bit.

I'm going to make you a Madam and you'll be wearing luxury goods from head to toe.

See if you don't!

Here, eat the meaty part.

Why, Honey? Does it not match your tastes?

No, it's really good. You try it too.

- Chi Hyeon. - Yes, Father?-You try it too.

Ah, no father. I have a shellfish allergy.

Honey, eat up! I heard Jin Joo had a new domestic help

they must have picked someone good now.

Honey...?

General Manager Nam

Yes?

Perhaps... do you keep in touch with Joon Jae these days?

Today, it's your son's birthday so you must have thought about him.

I have came to conclude that until this summer he lived near Samsung-dong.

But it seems he has moved out again.

It's hard to find out his address.

I wonder what he's been doing... that pathetic punk.

Now, you should make up.

Make what up? Between a father and a son.

I'm saying it because it's you. But the only blood relative I have is Joon Jae.

Now I need to find him and have him beside me. I have a lot to teach him.

Can you get him?

It's me.

It's his birthday today.

He'll appear there.

Find out where he is. When you find out,

make him disappear.

Do you know me?

I'll ask again.

Do you know me?

Hey, over there! Please hold onto her. Why is she so fast?

Aigoo. Thank you. She's someone who went into our facilities without our permission.

We need to investigate her.

- I know. - Pardon?

I am Detective Hong Dok Kyeong from the Myeongdong Violent Crimes Department. I received a report.

Already? Who reported her?

- I didn't. - Maybe the security team reported it.

- Are you the one in charge? - Oh, yes I am.

Breaking and entering tends to have a purpose and it seems

like it would be very difficult without inside help.

Later, I might need to investigate witnesses. When that time comes I will call you.

Ah, yes. I understand.

We need to go together.

She's someone who's getting apprehended right?

I didn't get you out to save you.

There's something I need to know. So give me an answer.

This. Why were we together?

Why am I in here with Heo Joon Jae?

You know my name, too?

You know me, right?

You don't know?

You do know or you don't know?

You know me. You know my name too.

It's true that we were in Spain together.

But why do I not know you? Who are you?

Who are you?

Okay.

What's your name?

I don't have a name.

- You don't have a name? - Nope.

I don't have a name, but I was told I'm not a strange person.

- By whom? - A good person.

I'm not sure what kind of person he/she was, but there's a high chance they're pretty strange too.

Your words and actions... everything is strange, you know?

Do you not speak Korean well? Are you an overseas Korean?

I'm going to ask you for the last time.

What happened between us in Spain?
