Seo-yeon!

THE MEDICAL EXAMINER OFFICE
OVERSEES RE-AUTOPSIES

AND INDEPENDENTLY INVESTIGATES
RARE DISEASE CASES.

EPISODE 9

Why are you sighing?

It's nothing.

What is it?

I'm just happy to see you.

Goodness.



That was unexpected.

I'm happy to see you too.

Seo-yeon Choi, a renowned pianist.
I'm sure you've heard of her.

I saw her on the news.

Such a tragic thing to happen
to such a pretty girl.

Is she famous?

She's beyond famous.

She's one of the top three
New-age pianists in Korea.

We can never hear her playing again.

I went to her recitals
and bought all her albums.

She was found dead at her house
two days ago.

We presume that it was a sudden death.

The CEO of her agency
was the one who found her.

The estimated time of death
is between 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.



What is the cause of death?

Acute myocardial infarction.

There were no drugs or chemicals detected
in her system. She was clean.

Then it seems like a sudden death
by natural causes. Why did it come to us?

She seemed to have died
while playing piano.

If it was a normal heart attack,

she couldn't have stayed still like that.

You're exactly right.

She could've gone near a phone
to call for help

or writhed in pain.

You are beautiful and smart.

So, we have to find other causes of death
possibly related to rare diseases.

Any medical history?

She's been treated for depression

but there's no medical history
on heart-related illnesses.

There are no noticeable injuries
on the outside.

There's a surgical scar
on her right breast.

She underwent surgery three years ago
due to a car accident.

Right. With Joon-min Kim, the actor.
They were dating at the time.

I remember him.

I didn't know she was the one
in the car with him.

He died due to the accident

but she only fractured
her fourth and fifth ribs.

Let's get it started then.

She died of acute myocardial infarction
as found in primary autopsy.

She also had cardiomegaly.

It doesn't seem to be aortic dissection
or any other vascular disorders.

But you can still get a heart attack,
can't you?

You can.

But the question is, was she in a state
to get a heart attack?

Pianists tend to become exhausted
when they play the piano.

Then wouldn't that naturally
overexert the heart?

There is a possibility.

Still, this calls for
a thorough investigation.

I might be low on related data,

but can heart attacks like these be caused
by murder as well?

Normally, it's highly unlikely.

But this is a non-cardiogenic
heart attack,

which means it wasn't caused
by internal heart problems.

In other words, there were external
causes involved.

So, just by deliberately setting up
a situation

in which she could have died,
the culprit, whoever it may be,

could have murdered her indirectly.

Chief, Seo-yeon Choi's agency's
CEO is here.

Why the need for additional investigation?

It's mandatory for cases
that are transferred here.

If this isn't the actual cause of death,
it only calls for unsolicited rumors.

I don't want any rumors or gossip
littering Seo-yeon's death!

Excuse me. Rumors and gossip
aren't what's important right now.

What's important is figuring out
the actual reason why she died.

That's not what the public thinks.

They will spew out all kinds of rumors
and essentially kill the deceased twice.

You know this!

Nevertheless, we have to find out
the real cause of her death.

I don't even care, all right?
Ignore me and just do your thing.

It's like you're a robot or something.

The moment someone comes through
the door, then...

-Tae-kyung.
-What?

I don't want to have secrets between us.

Whatever the secret is, I don't care.

It's really

not what you think.

If I tell you,

can you promise you'll keep it a secret?

Mr. Nam! The only security camera here
is that one at the front gate.

This is where they park.

What kind of famous person
doesn't have any security camera?

We asked her agency's CEO and she said

the victim didn't like cameras because
it felt like someone was watching her.

Forensics said
there were no signs of intrusion.

All fingerprints were
also identified and cleared.

-Clean. It's perfectly clean.
-Yes.

You're stretching it, idiot.

She was very down-to-earth
and natural with her hair like this.

She's so pretty.

It's such a pity. Her music was wonderful.

Yes.

What about her parents?

They live in England, but they're
flying over. They should land tonight.

No signs of drug use or medication.

Everything seems normal,
nothing weird or abnormal.

Her slippers are pretty, and I'm hungry.

Wait, three humidifiers?

Gross.

It seems like she hasn't used it
in a while.

The water is spoiled.

Is that one like this too?

Goodness, this one's the same as that one.

What is this?

Isn't it just a mat? For your feet.

She seems to have had interest
in other genres besides piano.

Like rock.

Rock's fun and exciting.

Maybe she would listen to it for a change.

The title is...

"Longing for your touch."

She died while playing this.

This must be an unreleased song.

I guess so.

Do you know how to play?

I may not look like it,
but I am an educated woman.

I can play the piano
and I learned the cello, too.

That was wrong.

You're so good!

But remember what you said
during the autopsy?

You said that she will have been exhausted
from playing passionately.

But...

Right.

This song's too mellow, though.

Exactly. It calms your heart
more than it would catalyze an attack.

But she has two pianos.

Well, it is a pianist's house.

What's that?

By the look of it, a reporter, probably.

That piece of shit...

Someone died and he's over there
trying to take a picture?

It's ridiculous.

I really don't think
this should be overlooked.

So this all started the day

our main server was hacked?

Yes. I was trying to download
a picture, but I suddenly lost connection.

That's why I took a screenshot
of the whole page.

You should've told Chief.

I wanted to tell her.

But what if she gets furious again?

Then, at least tell Dr. Han about it.

-Or Detective Kang.
-Okay, I will.

I'll help you do some research.

It's fine. I'll tell Dr. Han
and let you know how it goes.

All right, then.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Pardon?

I didn't realize how thoughtful you were.

There is no need
to act distant now, I guess.

We were neighbors,

but I was more like a fan.

I'm a piano major in university
right now too.

Did you happen to see Ms. Choi
on the day of the incident?

Yes.

I ran into her as she came back home.

I also heard her play the piano,
though I didn't actually see her playing.

I filmed this while she played.

You can't hear it very well.

This became the last record
of her playing.

Were you close to her?

No.

I said hello to her from time to time
as a neighbor and a fan.

I tried talking to her casually,
but she didn't seem to like it.

What was she like normally?

Because of what happened in the past,

she didn't like being noticed by others.

She was a bit cold, so the neighbors
didn't like her much.

Wait, excuse me.

I'm really sorry,

but I'm a huge fan of Ms. Choi as well.

Could you possibly share
that video with me?

That's a bit...

I'm a cop! I'll make sure that it won't
get leaked. I'll watch it only by myself.

Please.

When I see you investigate these days,
you've become so smooth.

What did you say again?

"I'm a cop, I'll make sure that it won't
get leaked. I'll watch it only by myself."

Wow, I just...

That's what I'm saying.

I'm just getting better and better
at acting.

Goodness.

I knew you would catch it.

Especially since you played it.

You're right, the song is different.

Seo-yeon died in front of the piano
with the music sheet for Missing Your Hand

but the song in the video is different.

Of course, she could have played
another song,

but there's something
that doesn't feel right.

Are we being too sensitive?

That works sometimes, you know.

Right? I mean, if it's not, then whatever.

We ran a thorough search,
but this is all we got.

Seok-nam Lee, 32 years old.

He took a leave of absence from Hyunwoo
Graduate School of Computer Engineering.

He's a graduate student?

Why would a grad student work for
a company like Ilsung Services?

For his tuition, maybe?

Other places may have rejected him
because he was disabled,

but Ilsung Services hired him,
as he said in the letter.

Did you get in touch with his parents?

They're farmers in Seongju-gun,
Gyeongsangbuk-do.

They haven't seen their son for two years.

He'd call once in a while
just to check how they're doing.

Did you get the phone number?

Yes, but they all belong to payphones.

Age, face, educational background,

family relations and disability status.

Those are all we know.

Why don't you try sending him an e-mail?

I told you it's risky
as we can be tracked.

Tracking.

Tracking...

SEONG-DO

Hey, the one and only Mr. Seong-do Kim!

Do you have pots of gold
stashed down there or something?

You haven't visited Seoul once.

Okay. Let's have a drink
when you come during your break.

Or I can go to you, whichever.

Do you think I called you because
I missed you? I need to ask you something.

So when you send and receive e-mails,

you know how the server portal
keeps a record of that?

Is there a way to send emails
without being recorded

so it's untraceable?

It's been so long since we had a drink.

It really has been.

Goodness.

Loosen up, for heaven's sake.

That's why we came here, remember?

Okay.

Detective Kang, I have something
to ask you.

What is it?

You and Detective Nam.

You seem to be on better terms nowadays.

You weren't before.

You weren't kind to him at all
before, even I noticed it.

Yes, I wasn't. But he deserved it.

What?

Five years ago...

A high school girl was found dead
after she was sexually abused.

It was my first case after I had left
the Army Investigation Command.

Ki-yong was my senior partner.

During the investigation,
we found a suspect...

No, we found who the culprit was.

He was a third-generation chaebol.

A third-generation chaebol? Who?

Sang-woo Seo, the son of Seohan
Chemical's chairman, Ki-woong Seo.

He's the chairman now, but at the time,
he was the head manager.

We had his hair
found on the victim's body.

That's a smoking gun.

SEONG-MI YOO MURDER CASE

But his lawyer argued that
due to Sang-woo Seo's condition,

he was impotent.

INVESTIGATION REPORT

Wait. Why was he impotent?

First of all, he was in a wheelchair.

He also had severe illnesses in his
liver, heart and kidneys.

He ended up being acquitted
for lack of evidence.

PRIMARY INVESTIGATION ON SANG-WOO SEO

How does that even make sense?

They claimed that the actual culprit
stole Sang-woo Seo's hair

and placed it deliberately
on the dead body.

Are they serious? Who in their
right mind would steal hair and...

This is ridiculous.

But we couldn't have won the case
anyway due to the outside pressure.

Outside pressure?

All the persons involved with Sang-woo
Seo's father, Ki-woong Seo.

Just about everyone in the prosecution,
the police, and political circles.

So our superiors told Ki-yong
to just close the case.

So Detective Nam just closed
the case without a second thought?

Yes.

Without a word to me.

So it just became an unsolved case.

He wasn't that kind of a person.

I really respected him.

I can see why you were angry at him.

He should have just gone through with it

for the late high school girl's sake!

I'm responsible as well.

I should have persisted
and gone through with it.

How could you do that alone?

Don't be too hard on yourself, you know
you would have if given the chance.

I sometimes dream about her,
the high school girl.

Her eyes

were wide open.

It seems difficult to approach.

I think he has a gun.

Yes. Yes, sir.

Did you figure out who that man was?
The one who came by the factory.

Okay. I'll check after I hang up.

SI-WOO HAN, 28, MALE

I swear I saw it there.

Gosh! You scared me. Goodness.

Gosh, I'm the woman here.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

What? What is it?

I...

Are you in trouble?

What did you do? What's wrong?

It's not like that.

What is it then? Tell me.

I...

You two look good together. I mean it.

We already knew that.
What is it? What's wrong?

You came so out of the blue today.
Something feels off about you.

The video analysis results you requested
are out, Detective Kang.

Thank you.

Shall we head over then?

You two really seem like brothers

looking how you talk so randomly.

According to our analysis,
the piano playing in the video

has been found to be a recording.

So it's a separate recording,
and not the actual audio from the video?

That is correct.

So it was a recording that was playing
in the stereo, not a live performance.

That's weird too. There were
no other CDs in the stereo.

Wait, what if we're going in too deep?

We have to think of all the possibilities.

We can't overlook anything
until we achieve a conclusion.

It's not over till it's over.

Then where exactly is this music from?

Wait a second.

What's that, that screen there?

Seems like the security camera
outside Ms. Choi's house.

It's this song.

Why play it so loud that it resonates
throughout the neighborhood?

If she played it, she could have
just listened to it herself.

Let's go, there doesn't seem
to be anything important.

Should we head out then?

Don't bother hiding if you're
going to announce it to the world.

Name, Sang-cheol Lee.

Former newspaper reporter
for Goryeo Sports, currently a freelancer.

Residence...

Would you look at this?
You live right across Seo-yeon Choi.

How did you break in?

There isn't much security.

And the window happened to be open, so...

You're quite confident for someone
guilty of breaking in someone's house.

I admit that my ways
were a bit problematic,

but the people have a right to know.

Right to know, my ass.

These pictures are from your house.

They're all of Seo-yeon Choi!

When she's eating, exercising,
playing the piano, resting,

even right after the shower!

Have you no shame?

It's my job.

You were the one who took
pictures outside yesterday, right?

We've got ourselves a professional
snooper here.

A mess, an utter mess.

I'll receive punishment
for breaking and entering.

Talk to my lawyer.

What news exactly were
you trying to gather by this?

Just this and that.

I was just wondering if there
were any suspicions about her death.

Suspicions?

Do you know what the real controversy is?

Everything you so-called reporters
concoct, all right?

They're all matching items for couples.

Yes. This is what the reporter
wanted to find out.

Signs of her relationship.

Then do you mean she was dating someone?

I can't say for sure.
But that reporter knew something.

Why? Because he was always watching
her from nearby.

The more I think about it, I find
less connection to her cause of death.

That is true, but...

It gives me some crappy feelings,
you know?

Hey.

Really?

What is this?

If you install this and send an email,

your email will not be traceable.

How did you...

How could I have possibly gotten this?
From Seong-do, of course.

He also said that you have to delete
all the emails you've sent

and received within 72 hours.

He said the function only works
for that long.

So once you receive a read receipt,
delete the email immediately.

And let Seok-nam know as well.

Okay.

It's done.

Okay.

Mr. Seok-nam Lee,
this is detective Kyung-hee Kang.

SEO-YEON CHOI, 30 YEARS OLD, PIANIST

There's no medical history

or medication or drug record.

But there were three humidifiers
in her house.

There's nothing.

Mr. Seok-nam Lee,

POLICE PERSONNEL RECORD CARD

NAME: KYUNG-HEE KANG
RANK: LIEUTENANT

I hope he opens the email.

Me too.

He would've opened it immediately
if he was waiting for his helper.

I don't think he'll reply back right away

especially if he finds out
about the victims

or the fact he's being watched.

Detective Kang, the hit man
has been identified.

He's a Thai man who's wanted by Interpol.

-Thai?
-Yes.

His real name is Panna Nuen
and his Korean name is Jeong-wook Park.

He's 37 years old. His father's Korean
and his mother is Thai.

His father was a drug dealer in Thailand.

and was murdered by a rival gang
20 years ago.

And Jeong-wook Park was
an active gang member in Thailand

since his teens.

In his late 20's, he was a mercenary
active in Southeast Asia.

Why is he wanted by Interpol?

He was involved in the attempted murder
of a Filipino agent four years ago.

That means he's one scary bastard.

But why is that scary bastard
here in Korea?

Knowing his motive is important,

but we should keep in mind that the one
who hired him must be someone of power.

Prepare yourself, all right?

He's one of the most vicious ones
out there.

-Stay sharp!
-Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

-Mr. Nam!
-What?

You know Seo-yeon Choi's agency's CEO?

I found out something strange about her.

This was composed today.

We released this last year!

Hello.

Hello.

I heard you made a handsome deal
with A2 Music last week.

And?

According to their CEO,

they told you that this will be
Seo-yeon Choi's last album.

Yes. This was what she wanted.

Are you certain?

What are you playing at?

Why would I bother lying
to the likes of you?

Seo-yeon Choi died the day
after you signed the contract.

We're more than enough
to talk about this with you.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Was Seo-yeon seeing anyone
before she died?

What are you talking about?

She hasn't dated a single man
after what happened with Joon-min Kim.

You're just the same as the reporters,
making up false theories and rumors.

You can just say no if it's not.
Why get worked up?

Excuse me.

-Yes.
-Here.

Thank you.

Gosh.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I was by her side
since I was 20 years old.

I see. So you were her manager?

Yes.

Then you must know Seo-yeon well.

Was she ever ill or did she ever
profess any kind of discomfort?

No, none at all.

She ate well and slept...

She fainted once.

About five years ago? Right before
one of her recitals.

She was in the waiting room
by herself for a bit

-and when I went in,
-Hey.

she was on the floor
with her whole body frozen.

Seo-yeon!

Did you get her to a hospital?

We called 911 but she woke up
quickly after.

So we went to the hospital to get tests
done, but nothing was wrong with her.

What was Seo-yeon's recollection
about that moment?

She said she couldn't remember.

That means she was sick then, too.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Where did you get that bracelet?

This...

Is it yours?

To be honest, while I was organizing
Seo-yeon's things...

I wanted to have a piece of her with me.

It's the same one.

The color, the pattern,
it's a 100 percent match.

It was a gift from Seo-yeon.

When?

About two weeks ago.

I said hello to her
and she just gave it to me.

She just gave you a bracelet
that was exactly like hers?

I wouldn't have known
if it was like hers or not.

That's strange. You told us before
that she was pretty cold to you.

I did. Nevertheless, she gave it to me

and left without a word.

You know the matching items in the house?

-Yes.
-What if

it was him and Seo-yeon?
Is it too much of a stretch?

I think so.

You can tell when two people
are dating. It can't go unseen.

You're right.

But would she really have just
given him the bracelet as a gift?

Maybe, maybe not.

Then who could it be? Who was her lover?

I'm getting more and more
curious about this.

I wonder who she loved and longed
for so much.

Hold on.

We were forgetting the most
important thing. Longing.

Longing...

Missing Your Hand...

SEOUL EUNJAE POLICE STATION

What's this?

All the wire transfers Seo-yeon's agency's
CEO made to Sang-cheol Lee.

To that reporter?

If you check the dates
of the wire transfers,

it's always the day after his article
about Seo-yeon was released.

What kind of articles?

Since she wasn't actively promoting,
there was nothing of the kind.

But they were all related
to his paparazzi pictures.

"A Day in the Life of a Heartbroken
Genius Pianist" is one such article.

And of course,
all the pictures are provocative.

Joon-min Kim, Seo-yeon Choi
in Car Accident During a Date

Careless Driving Killed Joon-min

Joon-min and Seo-yeon Out on a Date
with Matching Shirts?

So you're saying she couldn't get over
her former lover.

Yes. It turns out
this was all related to him.

But why would she have given
her lover's bracelet to that student?

I'm not sure. I can't say for certain,
but anyway,

we have to go back to square one.

We need to look into those
that are directly involved with this case.

You were Seo-yeon's doctor
during the accident, right?

I was.

Did she have any other symptoms
besides trauma and rib fractures?

There was one interesting symptom.

She had passed out,
but her whole body was stiff.

I thought it was nerve paralysis,
but I was wrong.

She was stiff as though
she had been electrocuted.

-Electrocuted?
-Yes.

She came back to normal
after about 20 minutes.

We ran tests on her,
but nothing was out of the ordinary.

It didn't occur again while she was here.

Death by electrocution?

Yes. Well, actually, it's not
technically death by electrocution.

It's respiratory failure and heart attack
due to electrocution.

Isn't that what death by electrocution is?

When we usually say
death by electrocution,

it means that an electric current
stronger than 50 mA

strikes through the body
and destroys all blood vessels and organs.

But in Seo-yeon's case,

it was caused by static electricity
that was less than 10 mA.

Her blood vessels and organs
were untouched.

But can that really affect the body
that much?

Can it lead to death?

Well, we humans have pretty much
the same tolerance of electricity.

But in a very rare case, some people
react very sensitively to it.

There's always that one person
who gets shocked a lot by static.

So you're saying out of those
who are sensitive to static electricity,

she's even more so like that?

Yes. Take a look at this.

This is Megan Stewart from Scotland.

When she was a child, she almost died
from static electricity

caused by her mother brushing her hair.

I saw that article.

What was it, "Hairbrush Syndrome"?

Yes, but

no such syndrome really exists

because the reporters made it up.

But as a matter of fact, this girl
was in danger because of a hairbrush.

How can you get static electricity
from brushing your hair?

Right. So with Megan,

she stopped breathing,
which stalled oxygen

from flowing to her brain.
But for Seo-yeon,

it affected her brain and heart.

And it left a mark on her heart,
not her brain.

The article says it's fine
if you brush your hair when it's wet.

That's right. The first and foremost
condition for static electricity to rise

is a dry environment.

Then what is exactly the cause?

It's still unknown when and how it occurs,

but we know that it depends on
one's sensitivity

towards static electricity.

It makes sense in theory.

But is it really possible?

There's basis for it.

Five years ago, Seo-yeon fainted
in her waiting room.

Like she was electrocuted.

Maybe she was electrocuted
by her hair dryer.

No, I did look into that just in case,

and it turns out her stylist hadn't
arrived yet, so that rules out hair dryer.

But there was a hairbrush there
as a basic item.

If that is the case, she would have
found out about her symptoms then.

She must have been frustrated at how
the test results came back as normal.

She would have wanted to hide such
a strange symptom, since she was a star.

And other supporting facts.

Because she was so sensitive
to static electricity,

she always closed her car door
with her butt instead of her hand.

And in order to make sure
she wasn't in a dry environment,

she ran three humidifiers.

And those mats in her house?
They prevent static electricity.

And if you take a closer look
at her pictures,

her hair was always unkempt.

Which means, she never brushed it.

But there's something weird about that.

It's been a while since she
used the humidifiers

and the mat was rolled out in the corner.

Doesn't that mean her symptoms got better?

I thought that was weird too.

So I gave it some thought.

What if she did that on purpose?

On purpose?

There were fabric slippers
in her living room.

I'm sure you all know, but fabric slippers
are basically electrostatic generators.

In the picture taken at the scene,

you can see her wearing those slippers.

She probably knew about static electricity
better than anyone.

So why was she wearing them?

What if she was trying to kill herself
through static electricity?

Committing suicide.

It may sound like complete nonsense,

but that's a possibility
we can't rule out.

That means she must have used
a tool like a hairbrush.

But nothing was found near her body.

You're right. In other words,

someone hid the unlikely weapon somewhere.

When you say a weapon, it's basically
something like a hairbrush, right?

That's right. So all the hairbrushes
at Seo-yeon's house

or any other beauty products
should be examined.

Even if there is one,
what if all the fingerprints are gone?

That's a possibility for sure.

But I think we might be able to
find something.

Strong charges built up in the hairbrush

might have burnt some skin cells
of the hand holding the brush.

If that's the case,

the dead skin cells would still be
in the small cracks of the brush.

If we can extract that

and match it with the DNAs
of the people around her,

we will be able to solve the case.

Then let's go gather them up.

Dr. Han!

Are the results out?

What other excuses do you have for us?

The video with the recorded audio.

The same bracelet as Seo-yeon's.

Technically, it was Joon-min's bracelet.

And your DNA that was found

on the brush in Seo-yeon's room.

Open up to us. It's disrespectful
for the deceased to be silent like this.

I just wanted to let her rest in peace

by the side of the one she loved.

I loved her.

Not as a fan, but as a man.

But...

my love couldn't even compare

to her love for Joon-min.

You can't measure love,

but the love between them

was more than I could bear.

It made my heart feel
as light as a feather.

What exactly was your relationship
with her?

To her,

I was like a friend she happened to meet
on a trip.

Although, I didn't think of her that way.

Hey.

Do you want to go for a walk with me?

Since when?

At first, I thought she was
interested in me.

But I was wrong.

She just needed someone to talk to.

Some stranger who she could
open up to comfortably.

She told me so much about herself
during our walks.

I feel like I'm always alone.

No matter where I look, I'm alone.

There's no one on my side.

Did you always meet at the park?

Yes, it was somewhere
the reporter had no clue about.

She knew

that a reporter was living
across from her and watching her.

And...

You thought I wouldn't know

that you pay him to dig his nose
deep into my personal life?

Seo-yeon, that was...

We made more than enough
to live comfortably.

Do you have to sell me
to the world like this?

It's not about the money!

You're not active right now.
What if people forget about you?

So you want me to be remembered
by pictures of me changing my underwear?

I'll release one last album.

The songs I've made till now
should be enough.

-Seo-yeon.
-After then,

you should get lost.

Don't you dare appear
in front of me again.

Seo-yeon!

-There was no one on her side.
-Seo-yeon...

No one.

There used to be one person

but he left.

Gosh! Seo-yeon! Are you okay?

Seo-yeon!

I shouldn't have fallen asleep.

For as long as I dated him...

I never let him touch my hair.

I never told him why.

But he...

He never touched my hair

because he thought I didn't like it.

I...

I want...

I wanted to feel his touch, so badly.

I long for his touch

so much.

Ji-woon.

Yes.

I have a favor to ask of you.

But...

It might be much harder than you think.

Please help me go to him.

Seo-yeon.

I won't blame you.

No, I'll be forever grateful.

But Seo-yeon...

Please, Ji-woon.

I made plans to make sure
that it won't affect you.

Please do this for me. Please.

Do you think that by doing this

you will be happy?

Yes, very much.

And can you put this bracelet on?

So she taught you
how to set up your alibi.

By making you film the pre-recorded
song from your balcony.

Yes.

She also told me about passageways
unknown to reporters.

No matter the intention,
you committed an indirect murder

and aided and abetted her death.

I did.

I know.

But I don't regret it.

No.

You should regret it.

You were way too reckless

and bet more than what was necessary.

People would think I'm crazy.

To do all this for love...

But...

As her decision was her way of love,

my decision was my way of love.

When you can't do anything

for the person you love...

The fact that I could do
even one thing for her

made me so happy.

All right.

I understand what you're saying.
I really do.

But love...

has to start on the premise
that we're alive and breathing.

With love, at the very least,

life and death should not become
a means to achieve it.

For us...

it wasn't a means.

It was the best we could do.

Shakespeare once said,

"Love is merely a madness."

Why do humans bet everything they have

for something so mad and crazy as this?

I still don't have a clear answer
to this question.

But even after millennia,
the answer will not be found.

It's obvious, of course.

Love isn't something to be analyzed
or interpreted.

That's why it's simply amazing at times.

It neutralizes all logic
and rational thinking

that you've learned your whole life
in a single second.

If you think about it,

this might be the greatest value of love.

To be able to accept yourself,
as the weakened person you've become

as a matter of fact.

It will be 72 hours in an hour.

I have to delete the email in an hour.

He did receive it, right?

Yes.

FROM SEOK-NAM LEE, NO TITLE

I got a reply from Seok-nam Lee!

Let me see.

Thank you for your email.

Come to the address below.

You must come alone.

Otherwise,

I'll consider our promise is broken.

-I'll be back.
-I'll go with you.

He said to come alone.

So let me just drop you off.

Your car might get tracked or followed.

I'm going to go by public transportation.

No, let me take you.

What's this car?

This?

I had bought it before I met you.

But I just didn't like it all of a sudden,

so I just kept it in the garage.

Then why...

Because I think I could be at ease
only after I take you there myself.

Get in.

You sure you'll be okay by yourself?

Of course.

Please be careful.

I will.

You should head back.

Mr. Lee?

Mister.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

How do you feel, Da-mi?

I was okay until a few minutes ago.

But now I'm a little nervous.

I bet you are. This is your first time
seeing your mom!

What should I say to her?

I can't think of anything.

Just call her Mom.

Call her Mom like this.

Mom.

Just call her when you see her, okay?

Relax. Don't be nervous.

-Okay.
-Good girl.

Mom...

Her name is Gil-nyeo Go.

She was caught red-handed
for murdering gang boss

Jang-man Oh two years ago.

She took the weapon with her?

Moms risk everything for their child.

What are you doing, Si-woo?

I think I figured something out!

I think things will get worse
than I expected.

This game doesn't end
until we find who's behind it all.
