Alice (Aelriseu / 앨리스)

"There is nowhere better than here."

When did you come home? You should've called me.

I told you.

- When? - In the living room.

I have to study.

All right. Sorry.

I'll get changed and cut some fruit up for you.

Why are you here?

How did you get here?

Tae Yi.

When I was a kid,

I've come here before, haven't I?

Why did you do that?

Why did you pretend to be my mother?

Tae Yi, this is our home now.

Will it be just the two of us?

No, there's also a baby in my belly.

Here.

Look at that.

Tae Yi, what are you doing?

You did this?

Where did you learn this?

From the doctor.

I begged him to teach me.

I even got something right and he didn't.

He called me a genius.

You're smart, just like your mother.

Can I take a look at it?

Yes.

(The tragedy began when she opened the door of time.)

Tae Yi, did you draw...

this picture?

Yes. I did a good job, right?

There's some more after.

What were you looking at when you drew this?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

"She opened the forbidden door of time..."

"and saw a world that was not meant to be seen."

"Her punishment has now been sentenced."

Mom. What is it?

Did you read the whole thing?

Yes.

But I can't understand any of it.

It's okay.

You don't have to understand it.

You don't have to understand any of it, Tae Yi.

Tae Yi.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mom, look. There's a huge tree here.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you.

This will be your home from now on.

Here?

Yes. So...

you have to listen to the sisters.

What about you?

We can't live together.

We must not live together.

Why not? Why can't we live together?

If you live with me,

you'll be in danger.

No. I want to live with you, Mom.

I want to live with you.

I'm sorry...

that I came here.

I had forgiven you.

I figured you had a reason for abandoning me,

that you probably had no choice.

I tried to forgive you for everything...

since you were still my mom.

Was it...

because of "The Book of Prophecy"?

Was that why you acted like...

you were my mom and abandoned me?

No. I had...

I had no choice back then.

Where's the last page?

I burned it.

No one can see it.

Why?

Do you know how much I searched for it?

I did it for you.

Father gave it to me.

Your father...

would've understood.

Mom.

Are you on the phone?

I'll come out as soon as I get off the phone.

Jin Gyeom doesn't know anything.

And he must not.

I'll be right back.

What is it? Do you need something?

Is someone in the room?

Of course, not.

I'll cut up some fruit for you.

Jin Gyeom!

Detective!

Jin Gyeom!

Jin Gyeom!

Jin Gyeom!

Jin Gyeom!

Hey, you psycho!

What year is this?

What year is it?

It's 2010.

He needs to get to the hospital.

I got the same spots from time traveling too.

The hospital can't help him.

He needs to leave this place.

Why didn't you tell me...

that you came with Jin Gyeom?

Is the detective here too?

We have to find him first.

If he stays here,

they'll both be in danger.

Hello?

Are you Park Jin Gyeom's mother?

Yes, I am.

Your son was just brought to the hospital.

He was?

Jin Gyeom is home...

Which hospital?

I spoke to his mother.

Okay.

A junior in high school.

If he was born in 92,

he's 18.

Aren't you going with me?

It's best I don't see him.

Once you see him,

tell him to return right away.

He won't just go back.

That's why you have to persuade him.

Tell him not to worry about my death.

Do you know what's going to happen?

It's in the last page, isn't it?

You must know who does it.

My death...

isn't something Jin Gyeom can stop.

He has to give up.

Otherwise, it'll only get more dangerous for him.

Don't you know your son?

He became a detective to catch his mother's killer.

That's all he thought about for 10 years.

Exactly.

So don't let him come.

If I meet him,

I may get weak.

Excuse me. I'm here for Park Jin Gyeom.

I was told he was here.

Yes.

He just woke up...

and ran away.

Do you mind if I borrow your phone?

Jin Gyeom.

Mom.

Mom.

Why are you here?

You can't be here.

What's wrong?

Let's talk outside.

If you come here, everyone will be in danger.

Go back.

I can't yet.

There are things I must do...

for you.

You want to save me and catch the criminal?

How do you know that?

Listen carefully.

Even if you save me, nothing will change.

Only you and the world you live in will change.

I think about it...

every single day.

I wish I could go back...

to that day...

and save you.

Tomorrow is the day. Your birthday.

Let me stay here until then.

Don't you understand?

That will make it even more dangerous for us.

If you really care about me,

don't come back here again.

- Mom. - My son is at home right now.

Hello?

Did you wake up?

Mom?

Yes.

How are you feeling? Are you okay?

Where are you?

I stepped out for a moment.

I'm wondering...

if anyone strange has come by.

Who?

Don't worry.

The police think...

Sung Eun killed herself.

What are you talking about?

Who are you?

I know.

I thought you just looked like her,
