Woman of Fire '82 (화녀 '82)

We're getting an autopsy on the body.

It doesn't look like a burglary, it looks like someone went crazy.

So the wife survived because she was in the chicken coop?

The chickens are kept awake so they will lay even-sized eggs.

So you're saying she didn't hear anything?

We're looking into that.

It's a pretty gruesome crime.

The owner and housekeeper were stabbed to death and covered in blood.

The police are conducting interrogations but...

This is where the body was lying.

These days burglary murders are committed by twenty-somethings.

Everyday the television shows at least 12 images of murder,

it's no wonder is it?

Murders are usually committed out of fear.

20-year olds have a lot of fear.

This burglar probably did too.

Don't move!

I know you're scared but so am I.

If you move, I'll kill you!

That's quite a performance! You should change professions.

But why are all the lamp shades broken? It would have made a lot of noise...

A unique crime is easy to solve.

At any rate, it's bizarre.

The wife was caught because of the broken glass?

The dead housekeeper left her will with a friend.

But she'll give us the will on one condition.

That the two are buried together.

The wife will never agree to that.

We know the wife committed the crime

so let's agree to her condition.

We need to get more evidence.

It's easy to find the weaknesses of famous people.

He met the wrong girl and ended up in trouble.

Like, if he doesn't lend her money she'll kill herself?

Her friends want to give her a funeral

so why don't you give us her remains?

Can't I leave?

When can you leave?

Is it the housekeeper's friend that wants it?

Before the housekeeper died she left a will with her friend.

What kind of will?

I haven't seen it yet.

You know the odds are against you?

Why don't you believe it's a burglary?

It wasn't the burglar who broke the lamp, was it?

So you're saying the broken lamps are suspicious?

It's his fifth conviction?

He was a petty thief but when he was in prison, people looked down on him

and now it's burglary murder.

As the leader I wanted to make them work

so I thought I would teach them a lesson.

The will says the owner raped her

and then tried to kill her because he was afraid he would get caught.

They were both killed with poison.

Is that what the autopsy said?

It looks like the crime was a fake.

The wife killed them because of their affair.

What?

It was only after my wife died that I realized how much she sacrificed.

Because she was a mother she was a teacher and

a doctor, a judge and later even a minister.

From that day forward I couldn't believe a mother could be anything bad.

Can you tell me about the housekeeper who worked for you?

Do you walk to the market or go by car?

Walk. It's ok if you have strong legs.

- Mom, they're back. - How much are groceries a day?

2,000 won, because we have a lot of eggs and chicken at home.

We saw the paper in a remote village and ran away.

We don't have anywhere to go.

Let's go. They're trying to get us for cheap.

This place sucks.

- Without this job you'll end up in a brothel. - You're right.

You're very wealthy.

Did you make money raising chickens?

If you live in this kind of house, you can learn a lot.

Do you have a registration card?

I'll hold on to this.

You know, you can't trust people these days?

I can't pay you a lot.

I don't need to get paid.

Just promise that after you're done with me, you'll find me a husband.

Oh my.

How many years later?

Not when I'm a grandmother.

But you can't say no to the person I choose. Ok?

He can't be handicapped.

You need to write a letter to my mother

that you will be responsible for me.

My mother is so worried I'll become corrupt she can't sleep at night.

Mom, mom. Chang-sun called her a stray dog

because she smells.

What! You come here!

What's wrong with you!

You're extra noisy when there are guests.

So what are you going to do, young lady?

My mom said,

if you go to Seoul the only thing you can do is work in a gentleman's bar.

You should be willing to do anything if a guest offers money.

Or even your eye.

She's asking for too much.

Myeong-ja is the one that's greedy,

she wants to marry a city boy.

When I make money,

I'm going marry someone in my hometown.

Here.

I don't know anything,

I'm innocent...

Honey,

this is the new housekeeper.

Hello.

She's from the country and doesn't know anything.

How old are you?

18.

You're still a baby.

Stop.

What's that sound.

She's pinching me.

You're a genius.

Listen to the new song.

The only thing I know is how to raise chickens.

Let me sing it for you.

I don't know anything, I'm innocent

but you planted the fire of love...

You burnt the fish.

You should take some cola up to the second floor.

You need to shut the refrigerator door properly. It uses a lot of energy.

Also, shut the faucet tightly.

Ok.

Wash the dishes with detergent.

I don't know where to start.

That's disgusting! Throw it out!

It's a female.

Nobody cares. Throw it out!

Gross!

Throw it out! What if you get blood on the floor?

Here's some rat poison. You should use it from now on.

In the country,

when somebody catches a rat

we give prize money.

Why is the fish so burnt, mom?

Oh,

she'll get better.

The stew is too spicy I can't eat it.

Honey,

these days people eat with their housekeepers.

That way, they work just as hard as if they were family.

Do we have to eat with the smelly stray dog, mom?

You're a terrible boy.

Myeong-ja, come here and eat with us.

You're family now

so you should eat with us.

Uh,

if you want to get married in Seoul you need to learn how to eat properly.

You can't make noises.

You stole money!

Money?

It stopped.

Good job, dad!

How about a beer?

Let's celebrate our new family member.

You have to have a drink too.

Here.

This isn't alcohol.

In the country,

we make sweet rice drinks with cold rice.

Just one bowl

can get a bull so drunk he'll fall down.

Really?

I don't believe you.

I'll make it for you right now.

Just eat and stop playing into his hands.

Oh you!

- What's that? - Rat poison.

If you eat this, you'll die.

You'll probably eat it.

No,

if you keep calling her a stray dog she's going to feed it to you.

- I'm not eating it. - Eat it!

- No, I'm not eating it! - Eat it!

No, I'm not eating it!

- Eat it! - Oh, you!

- You're hitting me again! - It's because you're making me mad!

Honey, you've gone overboard.

Making her wash three times because she smells like chicken feces.

Isn't that looking down on my profession?

I like that you're loyal.

It's useless, you're still going to stray.

The new housekeeper,

treats Hye-ok like the enemy.

I told her to.
