Siren's Kiss (세이렌)

INSURANCE PAYOUT STATEMENT

You knew your parents had life insurance, didn't you?

Han Seol-ah, you were the only survivor at the scene.

Even if no one else knows...

you know the truth.

Who started the fire?

It can't be.

That's right.

I did it.

I killed them.

You have to tell me exactly what happened.

I killed my parents

to collect the insurance payout.

What? Isn't that enough?

I had those men take out insurance but my plan failed.

-I killed them all. -Did you actually do it?

That's what you wanted to hear. Am I wrong?

Tell me the truth.

The truth?

I've always spoken the truth.

You're the one who refuses to believe it.

I wonder.

If your secret came out for the whole world to see...

SIU INVESTIGATOR CHA WOO-SEOK

...would you still be this graceful?

How long are you going to keep defending Ms. Han?

How long? I can't show my face in front of the team.

But she's invaluable to me to me.

If there's darkness, there has to be light to keep the balance.

Ma'am.

I heard something that really gave me chills.

You see, Ms. Han...

You think I killed my fiancé for just 140,000?

Do you know what all insurance scammers have in common?

Once they get a taste of money, they want more.

What is it that you really want to know?

Your fiancé

and Kim Yun-ji...

Did you kill them?

Even if no one else knows,

you know the truth.

EPISODE 6

Detective experience comes in handy in situations like this.

When the back of your neck tingles, there is always a reason.

Big data proves it.

What's the problem now, huh?

Hey, you should be excited about finding new evidence.

Has big data ever steered you wrong?

Or ever wished it was wrong?

What?

You're kidding. You still believe that woman?

This is insane.

But...

back then, why did you stay by my side?

When I was young,

no one wanted to be near me. They said I reeked of smoke.

So I'd go to the cafeteria alone and you were always there waiting for me.

You'd sit across from me and you would always eat with me.

Remember?

Day after day...

That's what actually gave me the courage to go to school.

It wasn't our fault, you know.

I think that was the day it all started.

- - Hey! Find your mother.

I said go, find her. You little brat. Go!

She's been running around saying she's busy with her sales job,

and just ditches her husband like some dog poop.

You're just like your mother,

you ungrateful little brat.

You little bastard.

-Get over here. -

Get over here.

Eun-hye, run.

-Get back here! -Eun-hye, run.

Get back!

You little...

Damn you!

-Goddamn you! -

Get up, Do Eun-hyuk.

Here, try this.

Slow down, slow down.

Here.

You're eating so well.

Come on, stay still.

That night, I realized for the first time...

what it really meant to have someone by your side.

Even when I was beaten so badly, it hurt less, and I could endure it.

I could keep going.

You know, no one gets to pick their parents before they're born.

Not you, not me.

So, it's not our fault.

So, it's not my fault?

The fire that day, that wasn't your fault.

That guilt you feel for being the only one who survived it's...

time you let it go.

Hey, stop.

Stop drinking.

Why do you guys always drink on empty stomachs?

So, you don't mind if the bar smells like food?

Who cares? It's my bar.

Mmm...

Maybe I should just turn this place into a diner.

GANGHA POLICE STATION

VIP INVITATION SPECIAL AUCTION

We've been given the okay to reinvestigate the Kim Yun-ji case.

Really?

Yes!

On the condition that I'll resign

if we mess up again this time.

Consider everyone who was the auction house a suspect,

and check each and every one of them thoroughly, got it?

Then we'll have to get our hands on the VIP list first.

-There's someone who can help us. -

SPECIAL EXHIBITION

This exhibition, Portrait of a Woman,

seeks to capture the artistic spirit of female artists

who confront the injustices of life

and challenge convention through their artistic work.

This piece in particular attempts to subvert

the traditional image of the siren.

Shedding the symbolism of the witch who lures men to their deaths

and instead portraying the femme fatale,

a modern woman whose allure is undeniable,

yet who never relinquishes her agency.

That's exactly like you, Ms. Han.

I'm glad to see you looking bright after all you've been through.

I heard about your fiancé and his accident.

That must have been really hard.

Thank you very much for your concern.

If I had known, I wouldn't have written about Ms. Kim.

Back to back funerals...

-Shall we wrap it up here, then? -Sure, thank you.

You've suffered enough.

Ms. Han didn't bite, not once.

I'm not surprised.

Here you go.

Just give me the source, and I'll turn it into a killer story.

ANNUAL ADVERTISING CONTRACT

THE CLIENT SHALL PAY THE SERVICE PROVIDER A FEE OF 30,000,000 WON

Wow.

That's an expensive bill.

You got anything bigger?

Bigger?

Gossip is only fun when it's in the present tense.

Something bigger.

Just wait a little.

Here's the insurance certificate for the Stiller piece.

These documents hold a great deal of information.

Who, when and why

someone obtained the policy.

With a nonexistent company and hardly any evidence,

is that why you confessed?

Let's face the truth.

You won't uncover anything at all.

Because I'm the only one who knows what happened.

You wanted me to trust you...

isn't that right?

UNREAD MESSAGES

Who are you?

Felix Storage. 45, Saebit road,

Yeonho district, Cheonin, Gyeonggi.

If you do not arrive within an hour, your secret will be revealed to the world.

I'm looking for this unit.

Is it possible to find out who left this here?

I cannot disclose that, security regulations.

Hello. Someone from Royal Auction just went in, right?

I'm with her.

NONGHYUP LIFE INSURANCE SIU SENIOR MANAGER CHA WOO-SEOK

Thank you.

- -

There are separate units for artwork and wine in this high-security wing,

so you can check them out later.

This is the live security cam feed.

You can monitor the entrance and interior of our storage facility 24 hours a day.

No!

Are you okay?

Oh, shit.

What...

All done now.

I'll give you some extra hydrocolloid bandages.

If it swells up, just replace it with a new one.

Thank you very much.

Does she need to go to the hospital?

It's just a superficial cut,

if she takes good care of it, it should heal without scarring.

She used to be a nurse.

She's an expert, so you don't need to worry too much.

That's unusual for a secretary.

I hired her on purpose.

I'm still recovering from an accident.

We can't disclose the owner's information due to privacy.

It's not an accident. It's an incident.

Someone just got hurt here.

Then call the police.

If the police open an investigation,

won't other customers' ID's be exposed too?

If that's the case, I'll have to rethink my contract.

Gosh. Come on, sir.

Seems like it would be a win-win for both of you

if you just tell him who the owner of that unit is.
