[Episode 9]
[Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office]
There's no trace of Park Gi Yeong or his vehicle from the airport CCTV.
Even for the stowaway, he just booked it but never showed up.
I think he's faked it here and there to screw us over.
It's definite that he's escaped.
Detective Yook and Detective Oh, please keep tracing Park Gi Yeong's whereabouts.
- All right.
- Okay!
But what about Yeong Joo and Alien?
Yeong Joo has hypothermia
and Hee Joo's showing signs of dehydration.
But neither one is in danger, so there is no need to worry.
All right, the prosecution will take care of Bae Min Gyu.
We need to go catch Park Gi Yeong.
Let's go, Hyungnim.
Gosh, that dodger.
Hello, this is Cha Yeong Woon.
What?
This was found not too far from the scene.
This is Park Gi Yeong's passport.
The body was damaged by the high temperature.
The bones and DNA have all been destroyed.
So then, I guess it's impossible to identify the body.
No, it matches the dental record the investigation team sent over.
We can confirm that it is Park Gi Yeong.
You think this makes sense?
He completely evaded the pursuit of the investigation but committed suicide?
It's strange that he purposely left his belongings behind.
People who commit suicide...
In order to get identified quickly,
they tend to leave their IDs in an easy place to spot.
Cha Yeong Woon.
You were always a hero.
Just like Paris the Trojan prince, I guess I always wanted to defeat a hero like you.
What is it?
But I guess the result is just...
What is it?
I don't think I'll be going to heaven.
But wherever I go, it'll be better than here.
Because this place was hell for me.
Bye, Cha Yeong Woon.
I didn't need to use the processing fee you gave me back then.
What does that mean?
It means that the Chairman's son is alive and well.
- Is that so?
- I thought you would be more curious than the Chairman.
You've been quiet this whole time, so why now?
Yes, well...
I'm opening an exhibition in Korea.
Oh, I see.
I'll invite you.
Even the Chairman's son, Jin Woo.
My Jin Woo should meet his real family now.
Do you live with your son?
No, I don't.
My son lives in Korea.
I guess you didn't raise him yourself.
[Borders and Cracks]
"Borders and Cracks."
Congratulations on your exhibition.
She came at such an interesting time.
It's a relief that she hasn't communicated with Woojin.
Seeing that she doesn't know her son is dead.
I'll get ready.
There may be a shortcut to life,
but no such thing as skipping.
You need to go for Bae Min Gyu's interrogation.
Oh, yes, I do.
Go Yeong Joo.
Park Gi Yeong's dead?
Prosecutor Go, are you okay?
Is it true?
Yes.
You haven't done Bae Min Gyu's interrogation, right?
I'll go.
Yeong Joo, right now, you're not-
Stop!
You trust me, right?
Yes, I do trust you, but this isn't about trust or-
I'll get going.
Go Yeong Joo.
If Bae Min Gyu finds out that Park Gi Yeong's dead,
it's very likely he won't speak the truth.
Since we can't compare the statements.
So you're saying hiding Park Gi Yeong's death from Bae Min Gyu
will help to reveal the truth behind the serial murder case?
Exactly.
Thank you, Sunbae.
Do you think she'll be okay?
We need to believe in her.
It's Yeong Joo.
Prosecutor Go Yeong Joo. Daebak.
Are you okay?
Why? Did you think I'd be crying in the corner of a room?
By the way, Prosecutor Go, the meals here are crappy.
Isn't this a human rights issue?
I heard you managed to eat every bit of that crappy meal you moan about.
Well, since I care about the environment.
But I'm really hungry.
Where's my meal? Did you order a proper meal?
Yes, it'll be here soon.
Your meal is here.
Over here.
Hurry!
Looks so good.
Bae Min Gyu.
Since when were you Park Gi Yeong's accomplice in the serial murder?
Accomplice?
Hey, that's the wrong term for it.
I am the victim here.
Listen up.
[One Year Prior to the First Incident]
You're doing much better.
Park Gi Yeong?
Whoa, this is the first time since graduating college, right?
Wow, you were such a scum back then.
You managed to become a doctor.
Hey, it's nice to see you.
Hey, if you married the queen of the art school,
you should be living a happy life.
What's there to complain about?
This isn't a marriage but rather a disaster.
For starters, she's too arrogant.
Your wife had a strong personality
and was really snobby.
Hey, I actually proposed to your wife back in college
but was rejected ruthlessly.
You did?
Just because she was popular back in the day, she thinks she's still a princess.
My blood boils when I'm with her.
Very bad blood.
Just get a divorce.
I want to.
But she said she'd never do it because of her pride.
Well, I guess this means
she's going to dry your blood until you're on your death bed.
In my opinion,
as long as you two are alive, I think it'll be hard to break up with her.
Right?
One of us needs to die for this to end, right?
Gosh...
I wonder if there's a cleaner who'll get the job done.
Are you serious?
That is why you conspired with Park Gi Yeong to kill your wife?
I'm not an accomplice!
I was just joking around.
But Park Gi Yeong gaslighted me.
Oh, I see.
You've been gaslighted?
- That's right.
- By Park Gi Yeong?
Park Gi Yeong has a genuine talent for understanding and controlling people's minds.
Serial murder?
When the wife dies, the husband is the first to be suspected.
And since you two didn't have a great relationship,
you would most definitely be suspected.
The same goes for contract killings.
No matter who you hire, the investigation will end up moving toward you.
So?
But if we make your wife the victim of a serial murder,
you'll be able to commit a perfect crime.
All right, the player is all set.
All we need now is money, an alibi,
and an ample amount of time.
Who's the player?
[Resume]
You got your dental nurse license quite recently.
Yes, I was able to get a license thanks to Reporter Park's help.
Hand technique is particularly important at a dentist.
Since I'm a former chef, I'm good at using a knife,
and have very tactful hands.
I will do my best at anything you ask me to do.
Keep up that attitude.
Come in starting tomorrow.
Thank you very much, Director!
I will really do my best.
After all, you would know better, Prosecutor Go.
Park Gi Yeong was the one who ordered all this.
I didn't kill anybody.
I see...
What are you trying to say?
Gosh...
Bae Min Gyu, why would you tell lies that'll get caught anyway?
I told you.
That I would kill you with my own hands.
Damn it!
Park Gi Yeong, that son of a bitch!
Betrayer!
Please calm down.
Shit!
Please calm down. You can't do this.
Damn it!
I would like to speak with my client.
Sure, go ahead.
I don't think you're in a position to relax and dine on your steak.
Shit!
You're okay, right?
Have you been allowed to discharge from the hospital?
Huh?
No, I haven't.
I felt like dying if I was at the hospital any longer.
Are you really fine?
Well, don't I look fine?
Yes! You seem fine.
Gosh, seriously.
Who would stop Go Yeong Joo?
Oh, I guess they're done.
I'll be back.
Yeong Joo.
So, did you have a nice chat with your lawyer?
It would be best to confess honestly, Bae Min Gyu.
All right.
My wife...
I did kill her.
As you said, I set up an alibi.
[Cheongpi Museum of Art]
The plan was for Park Gi Yeong to prepare the weapon and leave.
Under the entrance lightbox.
Good luck.
Oppa, let's dance.
Shall we?
One second.
Gosh, what is it?
I need to go home for a bit.
Why?
My dad fell again.
[Chauffeur Kim]
[Your father has fallen.]
Oh, no!
He usually has anger management issues.
I'll be right back.
Have fun while I'm gone.
Don't be too long.
Got it.
Hurry back!
Okay.
There was no CCTV at the back door of the club.
And 10 minutes was enough to walk to the museum.
Honey, why are you back so early?
What brings you here?
Why? Are you upset I'm not that bastard?
Turning off the CCTV when you two meet.
You guys are so meticulous.
I told you divorce isn't in the books.
There's nothing more to say, so go back.
Better go back
to where you came from.
Look.
Stay still.
Stay still.
Good.
A moment of epiphany for me
is this moment when you go from life to death.
I told you...
I'd kill you with my own hands.
Goodbye, my wife.
But Park Gi Yeong, that asshole, hid and recorded behind my back.
Breaking our promise.
That's all.
What about the other murders?
According to Park Gi Yeong's scenario, Lee Seong Yong killed the rest.
Well, Park Gi Yeong claims that you did all of it.
Bae Min Gyu, you claim that the now-dead Lee Seong Yong killed the rest.
Aren't you just throwing it all onto Lee Seong Yong, who's dead now?
Are there more videos of me killing?
There aren't.
It's not that Park Gi Yeong didn't record it, but rather he couldn't.
Since I'm not the culprit.
Do you get the picture now?
Our sexy Prosecutor Go.
What now?
Investigator. It's all been recorded, right?
Yes, of course.
Gosh, my phone is working really hard today.
I bet you wanted to kill her so much.
Prosecutor Yang Hee Joo, you must have majored in creative writing.
You really don't seem to suit the role of a prosecutor.
Why don't you consider changing your career?
Should I find a great place for you?
You're really sexy too...
You're a persistent one. Beautiful.
You're a bit scary, you know.
When is Prosecutor Go coming in?
I came in on purpose to see Prosecutor Go.
She needs to hurry and take this off for me.
Addition of sexual harassment.
Three times including today. Against a prosecutor too.
Gosh, so many crimes.
You'll have to pay up for being so reckless.
Don't you think? Assemblyman Bae Tae Ook's son, "Mr." Bae Min Gyu?
That's enough.
Good work, Bae Min Gyu.
Let me ask...
Is prison really that cold?
How is it?
I don't want to go to prison!
Damn it.
Good work, you two.
Defendant Bae Min Gyu. Murder against his wife. Serial murder conspiracy.
The murder of two victims as an accomplice.
Arrest and confinement. Crime of obstruction of justice.
What is this?
Defamation?
Yes, the defendant sexually harassed female prosecutors every time he was interrogated.
I added defamation as well.
Getting every bit of him.
Good, well done.
Park Gi Yeong is dead.
No right of prosecution.
Inspector General, it's finally over.
I apologize for worrying you.
What are you talking about?
You saved two prosecutors.
You did your very best.
Good work, you two.
The special investigation team should disband now.
Cha Yeong Woon, good work.
Inspector General, there's one more thing.
Something doesn't feel right about Park Gi Yeong's suicide.
What do you mean by that?
We confirmed the dental records and even his suicide message on video!
What more evidence do you need?
Have you forgotten the Evidence Tribunal?
The press release on Park Gi Yeong's suicide was sent out.
You're getting praised for doing a good investigation!
Why beat a dead horse?
Park Gi Yeong is an accomplice in the serial murder case,
but he's also a witness in Oh Jin Woo's murder case.
As for the chances of being killed,
I think it's enough to be guised as suicide.
Then, say this case has been closed externally.
See the end to this.
Inspector General...
But there's a condition.
I get that the two of you have the utmost responsibility for the work you do,
but don't overwork and take a few days off starting tomorrow.
Working nonstop doesn't always guarantee a good outcome.
Yes, we will keep that in mind.
Cha Yeong Woon.
Thanks for bringing back Hee Joo, as you promised.
Aigoo... my goodness.
How could he appear in my dream right on his birthday?
Gosh, he must've been really upset.
Poor kid.
Unni!
Are you making seaweed soup?
It's not anyone's birthday, though.
Last night, Jin Woo came to my dream
and said, "Mom, please don't be sad about my birthday."
It's crazy because today's actually his birthday.
I thought Jin Woo's birthday passed.
Isn't it the same day as Jin Sang?
Jang Mi, I am more than guilty.
Actually, Jin Woo has a different birthday.
I thought, why make such a big deal about boys' birthdays.
So I just attached his on Jin Sang's birthday.
Gosh, you're worse than Cinderella's stepmom!
You're right. I am a terrible mom.
I didn't even make him a warm meal on his real birthday when he was alive,
so I should at least try to make him one now.
You're so fearless for taking in a child you can't handle.
So much love to give,
but I'm not a big enough person to handle it and share it.
But you have to keep this a secret.
If Jin Sang finds out, that's the end for me.
With his temper, you'd be more than dead.
My heart is already beating fast.
I will keep my mouth shut.
- You're back.
- Yes.
Anything you got from Park Gi Yeong's colleagues?
I guess Park Gi Yeong was just a loner reporter.
Not to mention helpers, he didn't even have close juniors or seniors.
His relationships are so bleak.
Look at Park Ki Young's family relations here.
[Mother Park Sul Ah]
It's just his mother, Park Sul Ah.
He doesn't have a father.
I guess his mother was a single mother from the get-go.
- Single mother?
- Yeah.
And since Park Gi Yeong's legally dead,
look at the next page.
I'll dispose of the house and the cash left in his account.
Even though he doesn't have family, we should still file an heir search notice.
That's the procedure.
Are you okay?
Of course.
That said, I'm returning to Woojin to start all over again.
Since the real game starts now.
Yeah, go and ease your mind.
I'm going till the end.
What about you, Hyungnim?
I have an odd feeling you'll cause trouble if I leave you alone.
One team?
In the meantime, please look into Park Gi Yeong's mother.
Gosh, here we go with a junior ordering around his senior again.
Gosh, my fate.
After all, the homicide squad is the best of cops.
The admirable stench of blood and passion.
I want to come back!
The two heroes who solved the serial murder case. I'm so proud.
What brings you here?
What do you mean? A hero must look after another hero.
Muscles, age, or money, what don't I have?
I'll treat you guys to the best meal in town.
Gosh, I feel like drinking soju.
I wish there was a law to eat more than five meals a day.
You two will get promoted soon. Just wait and see.
If you do get promoted, please call me into the homicide squad.
My whole body is itching to be a part of it.
Then, is this bribery?
Why? Not enough?
Should I order you more? No.
How about some braised meat and soju? It's on me.
Gosh, I'll get a stomach ache if I eat bribery.
- I need to drive too.
- So picky.
I knew from the moment you two came to the Transportation Division.
These guys are the real deal.
Why won't you guys recognize that I'm the real deal?
I know that you're a big eater.
Why do we have to call you to the homicide squad?
You're so sharp.
I have 30 years of detective experience.
My information network is crazy.
From the bottom to the very top.
I surprise myself sometimes.
To put someone like me in the Transportation Division is a social, economic, and national loss!
I have more than 30 group chats that can provide information.
All of them in more than 200 jobs nationwide.
At least 100 guys will come running at my command!
Information that officials wouldn't know! A different level!
I have more dark secrets than the CIA, at least in Korea.
Oh, is that right?
Hey, hey!
You guys!
Hey, Yeong Joo.
What? Let's go together.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Prosecutor Go? What did she say?
Yeong Joo's also going to Woojin.
Yeong Joo can't drive yet, so I need to go with her.
- I'll get going now.
- Detective Oh,
I'm always looking up at you, just like this.
You need to give me a clear answer. I can be put to great use.
He's of higher rank.
You should beg him.
H-Hey, Detective Oh.
Detective Yook,
give me your hand.
Huh?
Can I respect you from now on?
Detective Yook, I like "Yook" better than "Oh."
Can we get braised meat here? A big one, please.
Gosh, Dr. Choo. Sit down.
Yes.
Well, it's...
What is it?
It's nothing, but-
Aigoo, just speak comfortably.
What can't you say between the two of us?
I heard today's Jin Woo's real birthday.
Gosh, I should've known that Pi Jang Mi had a big mouth.
N-No, she only told me because I kept asking her.
But still!
I should've just closed her mouth shut...
Ms. Hong.
I am very sorry.
Why are you sorry, Dr. Choo?
It's my fault for being a bad mother.
Let's have a birthday party for Jin Woo tonight.
I'll prepare the cake Jin Woo used to like.
Really?
Looks like we'll have a party, thanks to Jin Woo.
Jin Woo is such a great son, even after his passing.
Yes...
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
For being on Jin Woo's case until the end.
Jin Woo concerns both of us.
And also, it was all possible because Yeong Woon sunbae helped us.
You should know that.
I'm glad Prosecutor Cha isn't one of those shitty, money-greedy prosecutors.
He's a great sunbae.
You're thinking of Prosecutor Cha, aren't you?
- Does it look like I am?
- Yeah.
Let's get going.
We need to get there before it gets dark.
There's another thing I'm thankful for.
I'm really grateful that...
you're safe and energetic.
Hey! That's our spirit!
Woojin style.
Survival instinct DNA.
That's right.
But from now on, this oppa will protect you.
Wow, you're so reliable.
- Let's go.
- Give me your bag. It looks heavy.
I'll carry it for you.
All this stuff makes it look heavy, right?
The bag itself is light, so I'm fine.
Just what I like.
Is this how you turn down your oppa's gesture?
That's enough.
You should trust me,
and go all the way with Park Gi Yeong and Jin Woo's case, got it?
Whoa, I feel so reassured.
Geez.
Grab this and follow me.
Yes, ma'am!
Hurry up!
Right behind you!
There.
All right...
shall we begin Jin Woo's birthday party?
Let me open the cake.
We're back, Mom!
- Oh, no. What's this, I hear?
- Goodness...
Aigoo, what do we do?
Get rid of the cake!
Oh, hey, guys!
Why are you so surprised?
You guys came without notice.
When did we ever give you notice?
Aren't you guys hungry?
Sit down. Let's eat.
Wow...
Whoa, is it someone's birthday today?
Well, that's...
I know it's not your birthday, Mom.
It's Dr. Choo's birthday!
Huh?
Well, yes.
Thank you.
You asked me for money to buy Dr. Choo's birthday present last time.
No, that was his lunar birthday. Today's his solar birthday.
Oh, yes, so today is my solar...
H-Hold on, my lunar...
Yes, I celebrate two birthdays.
Is it important whose birthday it is?
Ms. Hong, is there anything you'd like to say?
What?
Nothing.
Jin Sang, it really isn't Jin Woo's birthday!
- Huh?
- What?
Jang Mi, you must be getting dementia!
Yeong Joo, your mom should go see a doctor.
Yeah, that's right.
I keep saying nonsense and very forgetful these days.
Wait, really? How often?
Sometimes.
She got a check-up yesterday.
Don't worry. I'll keep an eye-
Stop!
Pumpkin pancakes, crab, and octopus.
They're all Jin Woo's favorites.
T-That's right.
Dr. Choo and Jin Woo have similar tastes!
Y-Yes, that's true.
All the things that I love.
Yes, that's right.
Dr. Choo.
Please give that to me.
Oh, yes, have all of this.
Not that.
Underneath you.
You saw it?
This cake must be mint chocolate.
Jin Woo's favorite.
It is.
Ms. Hong, what's going on?
Why can't you say anything?
Unni, my heart can't bare this.
Just say it now.
It's not like Jin Sang wouldn't understand.
No, I can't. Never.
Mom!
It's war.
Yeong Joo, get up. We need to go.
Dr. Choo, let's go.
- What's going on?
- If we leave like this...
- It was my fault...
- Come on.
My gosh!
Tell me.
Well, actually...
Jin Woo isn't your real brother.
What?
Mom, shouldn't you go see a doctor instead?
Your mom is totally sane.
You need to listen carefully to what I say.
When I was pregnant with you,
we lived in a single basement room in Seoul.
There was a sweet student who lived next door back then.
Hello.
Here you go.
Aigoo...
Here, eat up.
Eat up.
Thank you for the meal.
Sure.
The parents both passed in an accident, leaving nothing but debt.
She went to college while working part-time.
It was heartbreaking.
Aigoo, you eat well.
Have this too.
Here. Take this.
Take it.
It's nothing much.
Seoul life was too tough. On the day I went back home,
I gifted her a pair of shoes from the shoe factory I worked at.
And also gave her my address.
I told her to come find me if things got difficult.
Bye.
Hot, hot, hot!
Here's the pollack soup.
- Thank you.
- Have a nice meal!
Your father was at sea
and I opened a restaurant.
Business went really well.
To make hay while the sun shines,
I even sent you to my mother's house.
I was busy making money back then.
But then...
Welcome!
But she couldn't escape her doomed fate.
She'd become a single mom at such a young age.
Steamed seafood is on the way!
Here's the steamed seafood.
- Thank you.
- Have a nice meal.
Have a nice meal.
Welcome!
What would you like?
Peekaboo! So happy!
Look, look.
Put it right through.
Let me see.
That's right. Good job.
- Like this?
- You're a fast learner.
Jin Woo, look! Mom's doing so well!
- Mom's the best!
- I'm doing so well!
We were like a real family.
But imagine...
how hard it must've been for her.
Because of the typhoon, the body couldn't be found.
Eventually, the cops concluded it as suicide.
Your father also passed away that year.
It was such a tough year.
But Jin Woo...
I couldn't send him away anywhere.
But when it came to Jin Woo's birth registration,
since I didn't know his real birthday,
I just put your birthday in a rush.
Later, way after Jin Woo's mom passed,
I was looking through the restaurant calendar.
Jin Woo's first birthday was written there.
That's when I knew his real birthday.
But what can I do?
I'd already registered his birth.
After you left for the army,
when Jin Woo was in high school,
his birth mom came back to find him.
His birth mom was alive?
She attempted suicide,
but a foreigner saved her,
and I guess that developed into a relationship.
At the time, to build a power plant,
there were many foreigners in this neighborhood.
How come Jin Woo didn't follow his birth mom?
Jin Woo, that rascal.
Even though I mistreated him so much, I don't know why he liked us.
He said he'd live with us.
If I'd sent him then, he wouldn't be gone so soon.
Aigoo...
I feel so sorry for him, and I feel so bitter...
Why didn't you tell me?
Jin Woo said your heart would break if you knew.
He was worried about you.
Besides, why would he fuss over something that's not worth celebrating?
You might've not been happy with how I treated him,
but I have never once thought Jin Woo wasn't my son.
Jin Sang, here.
What is this?
Jin Woo kept this dear to his heart.
♪ Don't know how far I have to go ♪
Eating something raw* is easy,
(Eat raw: describes something easy to do)
but nothing comes easy in life.
To be completely objective, Jin Woo and I are complete strangers,
but I wonder why he took such good care of me.
Our Jin Woo...
he makes me feel so ashamed.
But this older brother of his doesn't have a clue as to why his brother died...
I wonder if I can call myself his brother.
You are Jin Woo's brother.
And Jin Woo is our brother.
Let's not blame ourselves.
Think of how upset Jin Woo would be looking down at us.
Yeong Joo,
I think I lived not knowing anything about Jin Woo.
Which is why I'm so ashamed.
What is that?
♪ I won't give up till you come back ♪
Apparently, Jin Woo cherished it.
I'm guessing "Mari" is Jin Woo's biological mother.
♪ Still I hold you tight ♪
That punk, he must've been so lonely.
The more I think about it, gosh...
♪ Too far, too blind to see it ♪
That's right.
Yeong Joo,
I am Jin Woo's brother.
Whatever it takes,
I'll find out how Jin Woo died.
♪ I will find you on this path ♪
♪ No matter how far you go ♪
Mother
Mother.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Why don't you go back in and get more sleep?
I'm fine. I'll stay until Yeong Woon finishes his meal.
Please escort the Director inside.
I'm fine.
Mother, did you overwork yourself yesterday?
By the way, didn't you say you had something to say?
What is it?
You're really okay, right?
Yes, of course.
Mother.
Father.
I want to marry Yeong Joo.
Marry Prosecutor Go?
It's so sudden, so I'm a bit taken aback.
I've actually had feelings for her for a while now.
Does Prosecutor Go feel the same way?
She will come around.
You know marriage is not just-
I'm thankful that you two have always respected my choices.
And also,
Gi Yeong's funeral went well yesterday.
I knew it'd be uncomfortable, but I thought you'd come.
I don't want to think about him.
It's unfortunate, but we're trying to process it all too.
I think...
I lived thinking I was someone amazing.
Had a lot of pride in making this world a better place. But...
I wonder if I might've been...
a bit too arrogant.
The fact that Gi Yeong played a killing game because of me...
I feel guilty for not taking better care of the people who are close to me.
Yeong Woon, that's useless worry.
No, it's not.
Starting now, I want to take care of the people I cherish around me.
Which is why I want to marry Yeong Joo even more so.
I'll be visiting Woojin.
I'm here.
Woo No hyung, I have plans today, so I won't be able to exercise with you.
He said he wants to marry Prosecutor Go.
I guess his instincts are drawn to Woojin.
Are you going somewhere?
You're putting in a lot more effort today.
I'm getting a flu shot from Dr. Choo.
Mom,
do you like Dr. Choo that much?
Why? Do I look silly?
No, of course not.
I was just curious.
How do you know that you like or even love Dr. Choo?
The heck.
Did you eat something bad this morning?
How can I explain in words why someone likes another?
And since your mom is not so educated, I wouldn't know all that.
I do know this much.
What?
The first person you want to tell when something good happens,
someone you want to ask for a drink when you're feeling down.
When you eat something good, you want to eat it together.
The first person you think of when you wake up from a bad dream.
You want to yank their hair out if they dare to look at another woman.
Isn't that love?
Gosh!
Ms. Pi, you could write a book about love.
Do you have someone in mind?
Of course not.
Girl...
I don't want you to stress out by marrying into an extremely wealthy family.
But I also don't want you to suffer by marrying into a family who's got less than us.
Prosecutor Go Yeong Joo of Central District Prosecutors' Office.
A guy that's just about that level.
I hope you can live without neither having too much or lacking in any way.
Do you get it?
Go Yeong Joo!
Sunbae!
I'll be getting a lot of speeding tickets.
Cheers!
Sunbae, what did you really want to talk about?
I want to marry you.
A-Are you proposing right now?
- Yeah.
- Wait a minute.
Not to tell me you like me or ask me out,
but a proposal?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Sunbae, you have no idea about dating.
Your timing is also...
Wow...
I like you too, Sunbae.
Marriage?
It'd be a lie if I told you I'd never thought about it.
You're so straightforward, Go Yeong Joo.
I may seem bold,
but I'm telling you after contemplating for a long time.
But Sunbae,
now is not the right time.
After we're done with Jin Woo's case,
let's talk about it again, then.
I'm not sure if I've been rejected or not.
Of course, you haven't been rejected.
Sunbae, your face isn't really...
Why? Is my answer not what you wanted to hear?
No, it's not like that.
Then, what is it?
I have one more thing to say.
What?
Marriage would mean that
our relationship would develop one step further, right?
So I think we always need to be honest with each other.
I think my problem is that I'm too honest with you.
It's about me.
Before you accept my proposal,
there's something you need to know.
What is it?
I was born with a weak heart.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
I see...
But since you're saying it in the past tense,
I guess you're okay now, right?
Yes, of course.
I'm all right now, fortunately.
Aigoo...
What a relief.
You scared me.
But...
as far as I know, don't innate heart problems usually...
Yeah, I received a heart transplant.
Really? When?
Last year, before going to training.
Actually, I went to training because I needed time to recover after the surgery.
Oh, I see.
That's what happened.
Since it was when Jin Woo's situation was bad,
I was quite upset you were suddenly leaving for training.
I hoped you'd be by my side since I was also going through a rough time.
Gosh, I feel bad now.
You didn't know.
By the way, is my proposal still valid?
Sunbae.
Yeah?
Among the reasons I like you,
your flaws, your faults, and your pain...
they're all included.
Cheers.
Ms. Hong.
Yeah?
I think you're really amazing
that you got me a brother.
What nonsense...
You should've prepared seaweed soup for Jin Woo's birthday, though.
You totally disregarded Jin Woo's birthday.
You really shouldn't have done that. You know that, right?
I do know...
But I gave him pocket money on his real birthday when you weren't around.
You know how to ruin your own parade.
You sure do lose out in life. And you do it to yourself.
Hold on.
If you look at the address here, isn't Jin Woo's birth mom in France?
I don't know. I only heard she lives abroad.
She left before I could even ask her anything.
Jin Woo, that kid was really young then, but he coldly let his mom go.
Did you know why he kept this picture?
Oh, yeah! This picture!
I heard the same statue is at my birth father's house.
So, one time-
D-Did you go to your birth dad's house?
I see. Did you meet your birth dad?
No.
I don't think it's the right time.
Birth dad?
Yeah, that's right. That's what Jin Woo said.
Have you heard anything else about the birth mom and dad?
Jin Woo's mom's name is Kim Mi Ro.
I only know she went to art school at Korea University.
I didn't even know her resident registration number, so I couldn't even report her death.
Why? Will you try to find her?
If I do find her, I should tell her about Jin Woo.
After all, she's the birth mom.
Honestly, I wonder what she'll think when she founds out Jin Woo's gone.
I'm really worried about that.
But Jin Woo received a lot of love before he left.
He had an older brother who would wake up in the middle of the night for him.
Although he wasn't a real dad, Dr. Choo took good care of him like a real dad.
Dr. Choo did look after Jin Woo a lot.
Not just look after him.
He even gave 3 million won for Jin Woo's memorial service.
On top of that, he even wrote a diary about Jin Woo because he adored him so much.
Even a real father couldn't do that.
Dr. Choo wrote a diary about Jin Woo?
Yes! H-Hold on, take a look.
Look how earnest and touching it is.
Really?
Isn't Dr. Choo amazing?
Hold on.
Did Dr. Choo really write this?
Do you think I would've written it?
Aigoo, Jang Mi and I went crazy because we thought Dr. Choo was in love with Jin Woo.
Where's he going?
The customer is not answering the phone.
He's not even picking up.
It's almost appointment time. Why isn't he here?
What's up, Detective oppa? Vacation?
Is Dr. Choo in?
Gosh, I'm waiting to go to the dermatologist.
He went to buy mint tea and still hasn't come back.
I see. I'll stay. You go ahead.
- Really?
- Yeah, go ahead.
So, Oppa,
I heard you caught the real murderer.
What does he look like?
I thought you were busy.
Gosh, Nurse Gong, sorry I'm late.
Detective Oh!
Dr. Choo.
Can we talk?
Yes. W-What is it?
[July 11th. J worked in the kitchen...]
Why did you write something like this?
I'm out of words.
Dr. Choo! This is spying! Spying!
It's a crime!
Why did you spy on Jin Woo?
W-Well, that's...
I was just...
asked by Team Leader Jeong.
- Team Leader Jeong? Who's that?
- Excuse me?
Who's this Team Leader Jeong who asked you to do that!
W-Well, it's...
J-Jinjin Medical...
Jinjin Medical?
Team Leader Jeong from Jinjin Medical?
Yes, it's Team Leader Jeong Woo No.
Jeong Woo No?
Do you have a picture of him?
Give me one second.
T-This person is Jeong Woo No.
That's Team Leader Jeong.
- Team Leader Jeong?
- Yeah.
He's the planning team leader of Jinjin Medical, which is run by Prosecutor Cha's mother.
What the...
This is...
Jeong Woo No?

[Longing For You]
What brings you here?
The murder weapon?
You learn the basics of killing people.
Prosecutor Cha received surgery?
He received heart surgery.
He left after Jin Woo's organ donation.
No way...
Isn't your Korean name "Kim Mi Ro"?
Do you know Kim Mi Ro?
Oh Jin Woo looked a lot like his mother.
Did you meet the kid?
He died.
I need to know why and who killed Jin Woo.

[Episode 9]
[Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office]
There's no trace of Park Gi Yeong or his vehicle from the airport CCTV.
Even for the stowaway, he just booked it but never showed up.
I think he's faked it here and there to screw us over.
It's definite that he's escaped.
Detective Yook and Detective Oh, please keep tracing Park Gi Yeong's whereabouts.
- All right.
- Okay!
But what about Yeong Joo and Alien?
Yeong Joo has hypothermia
and Hee Joo's showing signs of dehydration.
But neither one is in danger, so there is no need to worry.
All right, the prosecution will take care of Bae Min Gyu.
We need to go catch Park Gi Yeong.
Let's go, Hyungnim.
Gosh, that dodger.
Hello, this is Cha Yeong Woon.
What?
This was found not too far from the scene.
This is Park Gi Yeong's passport.
The body was damaged by the high temperature.
The bones and DNA have all been destroyed.
So then, I guess it's impossible to identify the body.
No, it matches the dental record the investigation team sent over.
We can confirm that it is Park Gi Yeong.
You think this makes sense?
He completely evaded the pursuit of the investigation but committed suicide?
It's strange that he purposely left his belongings behind.
People who commit suicide...
In order to get identified quickly,
they tend to leave their IDs in an easy place to spot.
Cha Yeong Woon.
You were always a hero.
Just like Paris the Trojan prince, I guess I always wanted to defeat a hero like you.
What is it?
But I guess the result is just...
What is it?
I don't think I'll be going to heaven.
But wherever I go, it'll be better than here.
Because this place was hell for me.
Bye, Cha Yeong Woon.
I didn't need to use the processing fee you gave me back then.
What does that mean?
It means that the Chairman's son is alive and well.
- Is that so?
- I thought you would be more curious than the Chairman.
You've been quiet this whole time, so why now?
Yes, well...
I'm opening an exhibition in Korea.
Oh, I see.
I'll invite you.
Even the Chairman's son, Jin Woo.
My Jin Woo should meet his real family now.
Do you live with your son?
No, I don't.
My son lives in Korea.
I guess you didn't raise him yourself.
[Borders and Cracks]
"Borders and Cracks."
Congratulations on your exhibition.
She came at such an interesting time.
It's a relief that she hasn't communicated with Woojin.
Seeing that she doesn't know her son is dead.
I'll get ready.
There may be a shortcut to life,
but no such thing as skipping.
You need to go for Bae Min Gyu's interrogation.
Oh, yes, I do.
Go Yeong Joo.
Park Gi Yeong's dead?
Prosecutor Go, are you okay?
Is it true?
Yes.
You haven't done Bae Min Gyu's interrogation, right?
I'll go.
Yeong Joo, right now, you're not-
Stop!
You trust me, right?
Yes, I do trust you, but this isn't about trust or-
I'll get going.
Go Yeong Joo.
If Bae Min Gyu finds out that Park Gi Yeong's dead,
it's very likely he won't speak the truth.
Since we can't compare the statements.
So you're saying hiding Park Gi Yeong's death from Bae Min Gyu
will help to reveal the truth behind the serial murder case?
Exactly.
Thank you, Sunbae.
Do you think she'll be okay?
We need to believe in her.
It's Yeong Joo.
Prosecutor Go Yeong Joo. Daebak.
Are you okay?
Why? Did you think I'd be crying in the corner of a room?
By the way, Prosecutor Go, the meals here are crappy.
Isn't this a human rights issue?
I heard you managed to eat every bit of that crappy meal you moan about.
Well, since I care about the environment.
But I'm really hungry.
Where's my meal? Did you order a proper meal?
Yes, it'll be here soon.
Your meal is here.
Over here.
Hurry!
Looks so good.
Bae Min Gyu.
Since when were you Park Gi Yeong's accomplice in the serial murder?
Accomplice?
Hey, that's the wrong term for it.
I am the victim here.
Listen up.
[One Year Prior to the First Incident]
You're doing much better.
Park Gi Yeong?
Whoa, this is the first time since graduating college, right?
Wow, you were such a scum back then.
You managed to become a doctor.
Hey, it's nice to see you.
Hey, if you married the queen of the art school,
you should be living a happy life.
What's there to complain about?
This isn't a marriage but rather a disaster.
For starters, she's too arrogant.
Your wife had a strong personality
and was really snobby.
Hey, I actually proposed to your wife back in college
but was rejected ruthlessly.
You did?
Just because she was popular back in the day, she thinks she's still a princess.
My blood boils when I'm with her.
Very bad blood.
Just get a divorce.
I want to.
But she said she'd never do it because of her pride.
Well, I guess this means
she's going to dry your blood until you're on your death bed.
In my opinion,
as long as you two are alive, I think it'll be hard to break up with her.
Right?
One of us needs to die for this to end, right?
Gosh...
I wonder if there's a cleaner who'll get the job done.
Are you serious?
That is why you conspired with Park Gi Yeong to kill your wife?
I'm not an accomplice!
I was just joking around.
But Park Gi Yeong gaslighted me.
Oh, I see.
You've been gaslighted?
- That's right.
- By Park Gi Yeong?
Park Gi Yeong has a genuine talent for understanding and controlling people's minds.
Serial murder?
When the wife dies, the husband is the first to be suspected.
And since you two didn't have a great relationship,
you would most definitely be suspected.
The same goes for contract killings.
No matter who you hire, the investigation will end up moving toward you.
So?
But if we make your wife the victim of a serial murder,
you'll be able to commit a perfect crime.
All right, the player is all set.
All we need now is money, an alibi,
and an ample amount of time.
Who's the player?
[Resume]
You got your dental nurse license quite recently.
Yes, I was able to get a license thanks to Reporter Park's help.
Hand technique is particularly important at a dentist.
Since I'm a former chef, I'm good at using a knife,
and have very tactful hands.
I will do my best at anything you ask me to do.
Keep up that attitude.
Come in starting tomorrow.
Thank you very much, Director!
I will really do my best.
After all, you would know better, Prosecutor Go.
Park Gi Yeong was the one who ordered all this.
I didn't kill anybody.
I see...
What are you trying to say?
Gosh...
Bae Min Gyu, why would you tell lies that'll get caught anyway?
I told you.
That I would kill you with my own hands.
Damn it!
Park Gi Yeong, that son of a bitch!
Betrayer!
Please calm down.
Shit!
Please calm down. You can't do this.
Damn it!
I would like to speak with my client.
Sure, go ahead.
I don't think you're in a position to relax and dine on your steak.
Shit!
You're okay, right?
Have you been allowed to discharge from the hospital?
Huh?
No, I haven't.
I felt like dying if I was at the hospital any longer.
Are you really fine?
Well, don't I look fine?
Yes! You seem fine.
Gosh, seriously.
Who would stop Go Yeong Joo?
Oh, I guess they're done.
I'll be back.
Yeong Joo.
So, did you have a nice chat with your lawyer?
It would be best to confess honestly, Bae Min Gyu.
All right.
My wife...
I did kill her.
As you said, I set up an alibi.
[Cheongpi Museum of Art]
The plan was for Park Gi Yeong to prepare the weapon and leave.
Under the entrance lightbox.
Good luck.
Oppa, let's dance.
Shall we?
One second.
Gosh, what is it?
I need to go home for a bit.
Why?
My dad fell again.
[Chauffeur Kim]
[Your father has fallen.]
Oh, no!
He usually has anger management issues.
I'll be right back.
Have fun while I'm gone.
Don't be too long.
Got it.
Hurry back!
Okay.
There was no CCTV at the back door of the club.
And 10 minutes was enough to walk to the museum.
Honey, why are you back so early?
What brings you here?
Why? Are you upset I'm not that bastard?
Turning off the CCTV when you two meet.
You guys are so meticulous.
I told you divorce isn't in the books.
There's nothing more to say, so go back.
Better go back
to where you came from.
Look.
Stay still.
Stay still.
Good.
A moment of epiphany for me
is this moment when you go from life to death.
I told you...
I'd kill you with my own hands.
Goodbye, my wife.
But Park Gi Yeong, that asshole, hid and recorded behind my back.
Breaking our promise.
That's all.
What about the other murders?
According to Park Gi Yeong's scenario, Lee Seong Yong killed the rest.
Well, Park Gi Yeong claims that you did all of it.
Bae Min Gyu, you claim that the now-dead Lee Seong Yong killed the rest.
Aren't you just throwing it all onto Lee Seong Yong, who's dead now?
Are there more videos of me killing?
There aren't.
It's not that Park Gi Yeong didn't record it, but rather he couldn't.
Since I'm not the culprit.
Do you get the picture now?
Our sexy Prosecutor Go.
What now?
Investigator. It's all been recorded, right?
Yes, of course.
Gosh, my phone is working really hard today.
I bet you wanted to kill her so much.
Prosecutor Yang Hee Joo, you must have majored in creative writing.
You really don't seem to suit the role of a prosecutor.
Why don't you consider changing your career?
Should I find a great place for you?
You're really sexy too...
You're a persistent one. Beautiful.
You're a bit scary, you know.
When is Prosecutor Go coming in?
I came in on purpose to see Prosecutor Go.
She needs to hurry and take this off for me.
Addition of sexual harassment.
Three times including today. Against a prosecutor too.
Gosh, so many crimes.
You'll have to pay up for being so reckless.
Don't you think? Assemblyman Bae Tae Ook's son, "Mr." Bae Min Gyu?
That's enough.
Good work, Bae Min Gyu.
Let me ask...
Is prison really that cold?
How is it?
I don't want to go to prison!
Damn it.
Good work, you two.
Defendant Bae Min Gyu. Murder against his wife. Serial murder conspiracy.
The murder of two victims as an accomplice.
Arrest and confinement. Crime of obstruction of justice.
What is this?
Defamation?
Yes, the defendant sexually harassed female prosecutors every time he was interrogated.
I added defamation as well.
Getting every bit of him.
Good, well done.
Park Gi Yeong is dead.
No right of prosecution.
Inspector General, it's finally over.
I apologize for worrying you.
What are you talking about?
You saved two prosecutors.
You did your very best.
Good work, you two.
The special investigation team should disband now.
Cha Yeong Woon, good work.
Inspector General, there's one more thing.
Something doesn't feel right about Park Gi Yeong's suicide.
What do you mean by that?
We confirmed the dental records and even his suicide message on video!
What more evidence do you need?
Have you forgotten the Evidence Tribunal?
The press release on Park Gi Yeong's suicide was sent out.
You're getting praised for doing a good investigation!
Why beat a dead horse?
Park Gi Yeong is an accomplice in the serial murder case,
but he's also a witness in Oh Jin Woo's murder case.
As for the chances of being killed,
I think it's enough to be guised as suicide.
Then, say this case has been closed externally.
See the end to this.
Inspector General...
But there's a condition.
I get that the two of you have the utmost responsibility for the work you do,
but don't overwork and take a few days off starting tomorrow.
Working nonstop doesn't always guarantee a good outcome.
Yes, we will keep that in mind.
Cha Yeong Woon.
Thanks for bringing back Hee Joo, as you promised.
Aigoo... my goodness.
How could he appear in my dream right on his birthday?
Gosh, he must've been really upset.
Poor kid.
Unni!
Are you making seaweed soup?
It's not anyone's birthday, though.
Last night, Jin Woo came to my dream
and said, "Mom, please don't be sad about my birthday."
It's crazy because today's actually his birthday.
I thought Jin Woo's birthday passed.
Isn't it the same day as Jin Sang?
Jang Mi, I am more than guilty.
Actually, Jin Woo has a different birthday.
I thought, why make such a big deal about boys' birthdays.
So I just attached his on Jin Sang's birthday.
Gosh, you're worse than Cinderella's stepmom!
You're right. I am a terrible mom.
I didn't even make him a warm meal on his real birthday when he was alive,
so I should at least try to make him one now.
You're so fearless for taking in a child you can't handle.
So much love to give,
but I'm not a big enough person to handle it and share it.
But you have to keep this a secret.
If Jin Sang finds out, that's the end for me.
With his temper, you'd be more than dead.
My heart is already beating fast.
I will keep my mouth shut.
- You're back.
- Yes.
Anything you got from Park Gi Yeong's colleagues?
I guess Park Gi Yeong was just a loner reporter.
Not to mention helpers, he didn't even have close juniors or seniors.
His relationships are so bleak.
Look at Park Ki Young's family relations here.
[Mother Park Sul Ah]
It's just his mother, Park Sul Ah.
He doesn't have a father.
I guess his mother was a single mother from the get-go.
- Single mother?
- Yeah.
And since Park Gi Yeong's legally dead,
look at the next page.
I'll dispose of the house and the cash left in his account.
Even though he doesn't have family, we should still file an heir search notice.
That's the procedure.
Are you okay?
Of course.
That said, I'm returning to Woojin to start all over again.
Since the real game starts now.
Yeah, go and ease your mind.
I'm going till the end.
What about you, Hyungnim?
I have an odd feeling you'll cause trouble if I leave you alone.
One team?
In the meantime, please look into Park Gi Yeong's mother.
Gosh, here we go with a junior ordering around his senior again.
Gosh, my fate.
After all, the homicide squad is the best of cops.
The admirable stench of blood and passion.
I want to come back!
The two heroes who solved the serial murder case. I'm so proud.
What brings you here?
What do you mean? A hero must look after another hero.
Muscles, age, or money, what don't I have?
I'll treat you guys to the best meal in town.
Gosh, I feel like drinking soju.
I wish there was a law to eat more than five meals a day.
You two will get promoted soon. Just wait and see.
If you do get promoted, please call me into the homicide squad.
My whole body is itching to be a part of it.
Then, is this bribery?
Why? Not enough?
Should I order you more? No.
How about some braised meat and soju? It's on me.
Gosh, I'll get a stomach ache if I eat bribery.
- I need to drive too.
- So picky.
I knew from the moment you two came to the Transportation Division.
These guys are the real deal.
Why won't you guys recognize that I'm the real deal?
I know that you're a big eater.
Why do we have to call you to the homicide squad?
You're so sharp.
I have 30 years of detective experience.
My information network is crazy.
From the bottom to the very top.
I surprise myself sometimes.
To put someone like me in the Transportation Division is a social, economic, and national loss!
I have more than 30 group chats that can provide information.
All of them in more than 200 jobs nationwide.
At least 100 guys will come running at my command!
Information that officials wouldn't know! A different level!
I have more dark secrets than the CIA, at least in Korea.
Oh, is that right?
Hey, hey!
You guys!
Hey, Yeong Joo.
What? Let's go together.
Okay, I'll be right there.
Prosecutor Go? What did she say?
Yeong Joo's also going to Woojin.
Yeong Joo can't drive yet, so I need to go with her.
- I'll get going now.
- Detective Oh,
I'm always looking up at you, just like this.
You need to give me a clear answer. I can be put to great use.
He's of higher rank.
You should beg him.
H-Hey, Detective Oh.
Detective Yook,
give me your hand.
Huh?
Can I respect you from now on?
Detective Yook, I like "Yook" better than "Oh."
Can we get braised meat here? A big one, please.
Gosh, Dr. Choo. Sit down.
Yes.
Well, it's...
What is it?
It's nothing, but-
Aigoo, just speak comfortably.
What can't you say between the two of us?
I heard today's Jin Woo's real birthday.
Gosh, I should've known that Pi Jang Mi had a big mouth.
N-No, she only told me because I kept asking her.
But still!
I should've just closed her mouth shut...
Ms. Hong.
I am very sorry.
Why are you sorry, Dr. Choo?
It's my fault for being a bad mother.
Let's have a birthday party for Jin Woo tonight.
I'll prepare the cake Jin Woo used to like.
Really?
Looks like we'll have a party, thanks to Jin Woo.
Jin Woo is such a great son, even after his passing.
Yes...
Here.
Thank you.
Thanks a lot.
For being on Jin Woo's case until the end.
Jin Woo concerns both of us.
And also, it was all possible because Yeong Woon sunbae helped us.
You should know that.
I'm glad Prosecutor Cha isn't one of those shitty, money-greedy prosecutors.
He's a great sunbae.
You're thinking of Prosecutor Cha, aren't you?
- Does it look like I am?
- Yeah.
Let's get going.
We need to get there before it gets dark.
There's another thing I'm thankful for.
I'm really grateful that...
you're safe and energetic.
Hey! That's our spirit!
Woojin style.
Survival instinct DNA.
That's right.
But from now on, this oppa will protect you.
Wow, you're so reliable.
- Let's go.
- Give me your bag. It looks heavy.
I'll carry it for you.
All this stuff makes it look heavy, right?
The bag itself is light, so I'm fine.
Just what I like.
Is this how you turn down your oppa's gesture?
That's enough.
You should trust me,
and go all the way with Park Gi Yeong and Jin Woo's case, got it?
Whoa, I feel so reassured.
Geez.
Grab this and follow me.
Yes, ma'am!
Hurry up!
Right behind you!
There.
All right...
shall we begin Jin Woo's birthday party?
Let me open the cake.
We're back, Mom!
- Oh, no. What's this, I hear?
- Goodness...
Aigoo, what do we do?
Get rid of the cake!
Oh, hey, guys!
Why are you so surprised?
You guys came without notice.
When did we ever give you notice?
Aren't you guys hungry?
Sit down. Let's eat.
Wow...
Whoa, is it someone's birthday today?
Well, that's...
I know it's not your birthday, Mom.
It's Dr. Choo's birthday!
Huh?
Well, yes.
Thank you.
You asked me for money to buy Dr. Choo's birthday present last time.
No, that was his lunar birthday. Today's his solar birthday.
Oh, yes, so today is my solar...
H-Hold on, my lunar...
Yes, I celebrate two birthdays.
Is it important whose birthday it is?
Ms. Hong, is there anything you'd like to say?
What?
Nothing.
Jin Sang, it really isn't Jin Woo's birthday!
- Huh?
- What?
Jang Mi, you must be getting dementia!
Yeong Joo, your mom should go see a doctor.
Yeah, that's right.
I keep saying nonsense and very forgetful these days.
Wait, really? How often?
Sometimes.
She got a check-up yesterday.
Don't worry. I'll keep an eye-
Stop!
Pumpkin pancakes, crab, and octopus.
They're all Jin Woo's favorites.
T-That's right.
Dr. Choo and Jin Woo have similar tastes!
Y-Yes, that's true.
All the things that I love.
Yes, that's right.
Dr. Choo.
Please give that to me.
Oh, yes, have all of this.
Not that.
Underneath you.
You saw it?
This cake must be mint chocolate.
Jin Woo's favorite.
It is.
Ms. Hong, what's going on?
Why can't you say anything?
Unni, my heart can't bare this.
Just say it now.
It's not like Jin Sang wouldn't understand.
No, I can't. Never.
Mom!
It's war.
Yeong Joo, get up. We need to go.
Dr. Choo, let's go.
- What's going on?
- If we leave like this...
- It was my fault...
- Come on.
My gosh!
Tell me.
Well, actually...
Jin Woo isn't your real brother.
What?
Mom, shouldn't you go see a doctor instead?
Your mom is totally sane.
You need to listen carefully to what I say.
When I was pregnant with you,
we lived in a single basement room in Seoul.
There was a sweet student who lived next door back then.
Hello.
Here you go.
Aigoo...
Here, eat up.
Eat up.
Thank you for the meal.
Sure.
The parents both passed in an accident, leaving nothing but debt.
She went to college while working part-time.
It was heartbreaking.
Aigoo, you eat well.
Have this too.
Here. Take this.
Take it.
It's nothing much.
Seoul life was too tough. On the day I went back home,
I gifted her a pair of shoes from the shoe factory I worked at.
And also gave her my address.
I told her to come find me if things got difficult.
Bye.
Hot, hot, hot!
Here's the pollack soup.
- Thank you.
- Have a nice meal!
Your father was at sea
and I opened a restaurant.
Business went really well.
To make hay while the sun shines,
I even sent you to my mother's house.
I was busy making money back then.
But then...
Welcome!
But she couldn't escape her doomed fate.
She'd become a single mom at such a young age.
Steamed seafood is on the way!
Here's the steamed seafood.
- Thank you.
- Have a nice meal.
Have a nice meal.
Welcome!
What would you like?
Peekaboo! So happy!
Look, look.
Put it right through.
Let me see.
That's right. Good job.
- Like this?
- You're a fast learner.
Jin Woo, look! Mom's doing so well!
- Mom's the best!
- I'm doing so well!
We were like a real family.
But imagine...
how hard it must've been for her.
Because of the typhoon, the body couldn't be found.
Eventually, the cops concluded it as suicide.
Your father also passed away that year.
It was such a tough year.
But Jin Woo...
I couldn't send him away anywhere.
But when it came to Jin Woo's birth registration,
since I didn't know his real birthday,
I just put your birthday in a rush.
Later, way after Jin Woo's mom passed,
I was looking through the restaurant calendar.
Jin Woo's first birthday was written there.
That's when I knew his real birthday.
But what can I do?
I'd already registered his birth.
After you left for the army,
when Jin Woo was in high school,
his birth mom came back to find him.
His birth mom was alive?
She attempted suicide,
but a foreigner saved her,
and I guess that developed into a relationship.
At the time, to build a power plant,
there were many foreigners in this neighborhood.
How come Jin Woo didn't follow his birth mom?
Jin Woo, that rascal.
Even though I mistreated him so much, I don't know why he liked us.
He said he'd live with us.
If I'd sent him then, he wouldn't be gone so soon.
Aigoo...
I feel so sorry for him, and I feel so bitter...
Why didn't you tell me?
Jin Woo said your heart would break if you knew.
He was worried about you.
Besides, why would he fuss over something that's not worth celebrating?
You might've not been happy with how I treated him,
but I have never once thought Jin Woo wasn't my son.
Jin Sang, here.
What is this?
Jin Woo kept this dear to his heart.
♪ Don't know how far I have to go ♪
Eating something raw* is easy,
(Eat raw: describes something easy to do)
but nothing comes easy in life.
To be completely objective, Jin Woo and I are complete strangers,
but I wonder why he took such good care of me.
Our Jin Woo...
he makes me feel so ashamed.
But this older brother of his doesn't have a clue as to why his brother died...
I wonder if I can call myself his brother.
You are Jin Woo's brother.
And Jin Woo is our brother.
Let's not blame ourselves.
Think of how upset Jin Woo would be looking down at us.
Yeong Joo,
I think I lived not knowing anything about Jin Woo.
Which is why I'm so ashamed.
What is that?
♪ I won't give up till you come back ♪
Apparently, Jin Woo cherished it.
I'm guessing "Mari" is Jin Woo's biological mother.
♪ Still I hold you tight ♪
That punk, he must've been so lonely.
The more I think about it, gosh...
♪ Too far, too blind to see it ♪
That's right.
Yeong Joo,
I am Jin Woo's brother.
Whatever it takes,
I'll find out how Jin Woo died.
♪ I will find you on this path ♪
♪ No matter how far you go ♪
Mother
Mother.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Why don't you go back in and get more sleep?
I'm fine. I'll stay until Yeong Woon finishes his meal.
Please escort the Director inside.
I'm fine.
Mother, did you overwork yourself yesterday?
By the way, didn't you say you had something to say?
What is it?
You're really okay, right?
Yes, of course.
Mother.
Father.
I want to marry Yeong Joo.
Marry Prosecutor Go?
It's so sudden, so I'm a bit taken aback.
I've actually had feelings for her for a while now.
Does Prosecutor Go feel the same way?
She will come around.
You know marriage is not just-
I'm thankful that you two have always respected my choices.
And also,
Gi Yeong's funeral went well yesterday.
I knew it'd be uncomfortable, but I thought you'd come.
I don't want to think about him.
It's unfortunate, but we're trying to process it all too.
I think...
I lived thinking I was someone amazing.
Had a lot of pride in making this world a better place. But...
I wonder if I might've been...
a bit too arrogant.
The fact that Gi Yeong played a killing game because of me...
I feel guilty for not taking better care of the people who are close to me.
Yeong Woon, that's useless worry.
No, it's not.
Starting now, I want to take care of the people I cherish around me.
Which is why I want to marry Yeong Joo even more so.
I'll be visiting Woojin.
I'm here.
Woo No hyung, I have plans today, so I won't be able to exercise with you.
He said he wants to marry Prosecutor Go.
I guess his instincts are drawn to Woojin.
Are you going somewhere?
You're putting in a lot more effort today.
I'm getting a flu shot from Dr. Choo.
Mom,
do you like Dr. Choo that much?
Why? Do I look silly?
No, of course not.
I was just curious.
How do you know that you like or even love Dr. Choo?
The heck.
Did you eat something bad this morning?
How can I explain in words why someone likes another?
And since your mom is not so educated, I wouldn't know all that.
I do know this much.
What?
The first person you want to tell when something good happens,
someone you want to ask for a drink when you're feeling down.
When you eat something good, you want to eat it together.
The first person you think of when you wake up from a bad dream.
You want to yank their hair out if they dare to look at another woman.
Isn't that love?
Gosh!
Ms. Pi, you could write a book about love.
Do you have someone in mind?
Of course not.
Girl...
I don't want you to stress out by marrying into an extremely wealthy family.
But I also don't want you to suffer by marrying into a family who's got less than us.
Prosecutor Go Yeong Joo of Central District Prosecutors' Office.
A guy that's just about that level.
I hope you can live without neither having too much or lacking in any way.
Do you get it?
Go Yeong Joo!
Sunbae!
I'll be getting a lot of speeding tickets.
Cheers!
Sunbae, what did you really want to talk about?
I want to marry you.
A-Are you proposing right now?
- Yeah.
- Wait a minute.
Not to tell me you like me or ask me out,
but a proposal?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Sunbae, you have no idea about dating.
Your timing is also...
Wow...
I like you too, Sunbae.
Marriage?
It'd be a lie if I told you I'd never thought about it.
You're so straightforward, Go Yeong Joo.
I may seem bold,
but I'm telling you after contemplating for a long time.
But Sunbae,
now is not the right time.
After we're done with Jin Woo's case,
let's talk about it again, then.
I'm not sure if I've been rejected or not.
Of course, you haven't been rejected.
Sunbae, your face isn't really...
Why? Is my answer not what you wanted to hear?
No, it's not like that.
Then, what is it?
I have one more thing to say.
What?
Marriage would mean that
our relationship would develop one step further, right?
So I think we always need to be honest with each other.
I think my problem is that I'm too honest with you.
It's about me.
Before you accept my proposal,
there's something you need to know.
What is it?
I was born with a weak heart.
What?
Really?
Yeah.
I see...
But since you're saying it in the past tense,
I guess you're okay now, right?
Yes, of course.
I'm all right now, fortunately.
Aigoo...
What a relief.
You scared me.
But...
as far as I know, don't innate heart problems usually...
Yeah, I received a heart transplant.
Really? When?
Last year, before going to training.
Actually, I went to training because I needed time to recover after the surgery.
Oh, I see.
That's what happened.
Since it was when Jin Woo's situation was bad,
I was quite upset you were suddenly leaving for training.
I hoped you'd be by my side since I was also going through a rough time.
Gosh, I feel bad now.
You didn't know.
By the way, is my proposal still valid?
Sunbae.
Yeah?
Among the reasons I like you,
your flaws, your faults, and your pain...
they're all included.
Cheers.
Ms. Hong.
Yeah?
I think you're really amazing
that you got me a brother.
What nonsense...
You should've prepared seaweed soup for Jin Woo's birthday, though.
You totally disregarded Jin Woo's birthday.
You really shouldn't have done that. You know that, right?
I do know...
But I gave him pocket money on his real birthday when you weren't around.
You know how to ruin your own parade.
You sure do lose out in life. And you do it to yourself.
Hold on.
If you look at the address here, isn't Jin Woo's birth mom in France?
I don't know. I only heard she lives abroad.
She left before I could even ask her anything.
Jin Woo, that kid was really young then, but he coldly let his mom go.
Did you know why he kept this picture?
Oh, yeah! This picture!
I heard the same statue is at my birth father's house.
So, one time-
D-Did you go to your birth dad's house?
I see. Did you meet your birth dad?
No.
I don't think it's the right time.
Birth dad?
Yeah, that's right. That's what Jin Woo said.
Have you heard anything else about the birth mom and dad?
Jin Woo's mom's name is Kim Mi Ro.
I only know she went to art school at Korea University.
I didn't even know her resident registration number, so I couldn't even report her death.
Why? Will you try to find her?
If I do find her, I should tell her about Jin Woo.
After all, she's the birth mom.
Honestly, I wonder what she'll think when she founds out Jin Woo's gone.
I'm really worried about that.
But Jin Woo received a lot of love before he left.
He had an older brother who would wake up in the middle of the night for him.
Although he wasn't a real dad, Dr. Choo took good care of him like a real dad.
Dr. Choo did look after Jin Woo a lot.
Not just look after him.
He even gave 3 million won for Jin Woo's memorial service.
On top of that, he even wrote a diary about Jin Woo because he adored him so much.
Even a real father couldn't do that.
Dr. Choo wrote a diary about Jin Woo?
Yes! H-Hold on, take a look.
Look how earnest and touching it is.
Really?
Isn't Dr. Choo amazing?
Hold on.
Did Dr. Choo really write this?
Do you think I would've written it?
Aigoo, Jang Mi and I went crazy because we thought Dr. Choo was in love with Jin Woo.
Where's he going?
The customer is not answering the phone.
He's not even picking up.
It's almost appointment time. Why isn't he here?
What's up, Detective oppa? Vacation?
Is Dr. Choo in?
Gosh, I'm waiting to go to the dermatologist.
He went to buy mint tea and still hasn't come back.
I see. I'll stay. You go ahead.
- Really?
- Yeah, go ahead.
So, Oppa,
I heard you caught the real murderer.
What does he look like?
I thought you were busy.
Gosh, Nurse Gong, sorry I'm late.
Detective Oh!
Dr. Choo.
Can we talk?
Yes. W-What is it?
[July 11th. J worked in the kitchen...]
Why did you write something like this?
I'm out of words.
Dr. Choo! This is spying! Spying!
It's a crime!
Why did you spy on Jin Woo?
W-Well, that's...
I was just...
asked by Team Leader Jeong.
- Team Leader Jeong? Who's that?
- Excuse me?
Who's this Team Leader Jeong who asked you to do that!
W-Well, it's...
J-Jinjin Medical...
Jinjin Medical?
Team Leader Jeong from Jinjin Medical?
Yes, it's Team Leader Jeong Woo No.
Jeong Woo No?
Do you have a picture of him?
Give me one second.
T-This person is Jeong Woo No.
That's Team Leader Jeong.
- Team Leader Jeong?
- Yeah.
He's the planning team leader of Jinjin Medical, which is run by Prosecutor Cha's mother.
What the...
This is...
Jeong Woo No?

The murder weapon?
You learn the basics of killing people.
Prosecutor Cha received surgery?
He received heart surgery.
He left after Jin Woo's organ donation.
No way...
Isn't your Korean name "Kim Mi Ro"?
Do you know Kim Mi Ro?
Oh Jin Woo looked a lot like his mother.
Did you meet the kid?
He died.
I need to know why and who killed Jin Woo.
