Alice (Aelriseu / 앨리스)

"There are only two ways to live life."

"One is..."

"to live as if nothing is a miracle."

"The other is..."

"to live as if everything is a miracle."

Do you want to go with me? It'll be like a date.

I don't want to. Go by yourself.

Okay. I'll be right back.

Are you heading somewhere?

Yes, Mom.

But...

I'll make sure that I come back.

This is our home, after all.

I'll wait here for you,

so come back.

I will, Mom.

Did someone live here before?

This is used as a safety residence by our police.

I see.

I really don't know!

Why are you following me?

Come on, Detective!

Please!

Is this really how you're going to be?

I gave up a big scoop for you!

I really don't know where Lieutenant Park is!

You don't know how scary the alphabets are, do you?

Would you like me to show you how powerful words can be...

with an article that exposes the police?

Come on.

I'm feeling very inspired right now,

so you better find out where Jin Gyeom is.

What are we going to do with Ms. Kim?

She won't actually write anything,

so don't worry.

How are the other researchers doing?

We sent more officers to guard them, so they'll be fine.

Okay.

I'll focus on protecting the professor for the time being.

Please call me if we find any new clues.

Isn't it too dark?

Should I turn on the light?

What is it?

Nothing.

You may use this room.

Are you telling me to use the master bedroom?

How did you know that it was the master bedroom?

Because it's big.

Is that so shocking?

No. I guess the room is big.

I'll replace the bedding.

Okay.

I'll call my mom and ask her to bring things that I need.

We can't risk them finding you,

so you can't use your phone or go outside...

while you're here.

You can't go onto any website that has your personal information.

Please be careful.

Why did you bring me here then?

A holding cell would be more comfortable.

Sorry. I didn't think of that.

I'm glad you didn't think of that.

You won't be here for too long.

Write down what you need, and I'll get them for you.

Do you plan to live here forever?

You said to tell you what I need.

I'll do the best I can.

Anyway. Is it really just the two of us...

in this house?

Yes.

I know it will be uncomfortable,

but please understand, given the circumstances.

It will be way too uncomfortable.

Who was it?

Who dared to mess with my daughter?

Sir. Please calm down.

How can I not be upset?

My daughter almost died!

Tell me who it was. I'll catch him.

You don't know who I am, do you?

Do you know why our restaurant is called "Crime Squad"?

Are you a fan of crime shows?

You little twerps!

Pipe down. Who cares about that?

So? Is Tae Yi okay?

Yes. You don't need to worry. She's somewhere safe.

If someone strange or suspicious comes to the restaurant,

please call us right away.

Also. We wanted to ask your younger daughter...

some questions,

but I guess she has a new job?

What do you mean?

She works at the bank.

We went to the bank.

I'm home.

It's hard making money off of other people.

I want japchae over rice.

Hey you.

What?

Did you quit your job?

What are you talking about? I just left work.

That brat.

- What are you doing? - Yes?

Go arrest her! Now!

- Yes, sir. - Okay.

Hey.

Why did you quit the bank that everyone else...

will kill to work for?

It really wasn't a fit for me!

Fine.

It must be because I didn't hit you.

That hurts! I'll report you for domestic violence.

Go ahead. I'll appeal.

You don't even know what an appeal is.

Put your hands up!

- Darn it. - I'm so upset.

I called dibs. Hands off.

Let me give you a warning as your junior officer.

You should focus on the case.

You have to catch this killer...

so that you can meet someone like her in your next life.

Hey. Have you no respect for hierarchy?

When it comes to women,

all men are equal.

Are you studying?

This is more complicated than it looks.

Why are you reading the instructions just to put this together?

It's obvious what you have to do.

Move aside.

I could've done it.

You must be hungry. Should we eat?

Should we order something?

No deliveries.

They may be able to locate you.

So I'll cook for you myself.

Are you a good cook?

No. I've never cooked before.

You know, you are very subpar.

You can't do anything,

you can't catch the killer.

Do we have kimchi?

I'm sorry for making you cook.

It's okay. Taste it.

How is it?

Should we order in?

Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not saying it tastes bad.

I just don't think they'll be able to locate you...

just because we order food.

Your brain can't sense anything, but your tongue must be able to.

In case it'll be too tiring for you.

Since we just moved in, how about jjajangmyeon?

I want jjamppong. Tangsuyuk too.

May I throw out this stew?

No!

That hit the spot.

Where's the garbage bag for food?

It's in the drawer under the sink.

Where's the paper towel?

In the cupboard on the far right.

I'll clean up. What don't you wash up first?

Wash up? Why?

Don't you wash up before going to bed?

I was about to go wash up.

Okay.

Do you have an antacid?

I'll do it now.

I'll stab it now.

1, 2, 3.

What are you doing?

Just stab it.

This is harder than it seems.

Don't you see that it turned blue?

Stab it quickly.

Here we go.

1, 2, 3.

Traditional remedies like this are not proven.

I'll go get some medicine instead.

Seriously?

Gosh. Let me try.

Good job.

Gosh.

Are you sure you can shoot a gun?

Go to bed now.

Good night.

Good night.

Well...

Can we at least leave the lights on in the living room?

I'm a little scared.

Do you want me to sleep in the living room?

I have a question.

What is it?

How were you adopted?

You don't have to tell me if you feel uncomfortable.

Well, there's nothing special about it.

My mom couldn't get pregnant,

so they decided to adopt me. That's all.

But interestingly,

after they adopted me,

my mom got pregnant with my sister.

I heard you were eight when you were adopted.
