Thanks for sending the report I asked for.
But there's something that doesn't look right.
Just a minute.
Thank you.
Mr. Vice President?
What's this?
Haeun...
I am the vice president of Mureung.
My name is Yu Shinhyeok.
Pleased to meet you.
This year...
What's wrong, Eunha?
There's a song that goes,
"I believe the children are the future."
Well, I believe that people are the future.
People have the power to make life beautiful.
The future of Mureung is in your hands.
Dream big dreams for Mureung.
Take action and follow those dreams.
Don't hesitate to try something new.
Don't be afraid of failure.
Succeeding is not everything.
No matter how hopeless the situation is, do not give up.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
What's wrong, Eunha?
Eunha!
Ah...
Now I remember that woman.
It's her, isn't it?
Yes, you're right.
Where did he go?
Can I help you?
Where is he?
Excuse me?
Are you looking for Mr. Yu?
Can I see him?
It's a lucky bracelet. I made it.
What does it mean?
It means you and I share the same future.
Should I call her now?
She looked like she recognized
Shinhyeok, didn't she?
Yes, it appeared so.
Wait!
Wait.
Can I help you?
Don't you know me?
I'm afraid not.
Have you ever heard of the name Seo Haeun?
No, I haven't.
Wait!
I can't believe this.
I don't know who you think I am,
but my name is Yu Shinhyeok.
Then...
Then...
Were you separated from your
brother when you were young?
Why should I answer that?
Were you?
I've been alone for a long time.
Father: Seo Jaesu.
Son: Seo Haeun; Daughter: Seo Eunha
Eunha, go to the chairman's office first.
The chairman's office?
He wants to see you. What's going on?
What?
Yes, the chairman called Miss Seo to his office.
Do you know why?
I'm afraid not.
Excuse me, but is she the woman you
had to sort out in Kangneung?
No.
She thought I was someone else.
Forgive me. I was mistaken.
That's okay.
What a coincidence.
I didn't expect to meet you here.
I never repaid you for saving my
daughter's life. I owe you a lot.
And now you're a part of my company.
It must be destiny.
I want to thank you for what
you did, and so does my wife.
You're welcome.
By the way, you know Vice President Yu, right?
I'm just curious.
I mistook him for someone else.
He looks exactly like someone I know.
Really?
Who's that?
My brother.
I'd like to meet him if he looks so much like Mr. Yu.
He's dead.
Isn't Eunha back yet?
No. Don't know why the chairman called her?
No idea. She didn't say anything to you?
No.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Delivery for Seo Eunha.
Sorry, she's not here right now.
How you've been?
What do you think?
I want to ask you something about Haeun.
I told you everything already.
Is Haeun your real son?
Don't get me wrong. I'm just curious.
He was just like my real son.
He was as precious to me as my daughter.
So he's not your flesh and blood.
Why does that matter?
It matters to me.
Can you tell me about when
you saw him for the first time?
What? I just want you to prove his innocence!
It sounds like you're writing
the tragic tale of a crooked cop.
Please!
Maybe I can find his real family.
The future of our company is in your hands.
Twenty years ago, a man left Haeun with me.
He said it was only for a while
but I never heard from him again.
Who was he? Do you know his name?
If I knew, I would have looked for him myself.
He never said anything, but I
know he really missed his parents.
Tell me more.
He was covered with blood.
He must have been in an accident.
Accident?
Yes.
He wasn't seriously injured, but
he couldn't remember his own name.
Since he couldn't speak,
I had no way to locate his family.
Was it a side effect from the accident?
That's what people think.
Do you think you can find his family?
I think so.
Poor guy.
What's the point of finding his family now?
Not much good to his family either.
Hello.
Oh, hello.
This is great.
You're an expert. Maybe you can give me some advice.
You've studied painting right?
Yes, but I'm not an art critic.
Your husband did not come with you?
No, I came alone.
I envy you.
He's so good to you. He's so sweet.
And he treats Shinhyeok as if he were his own son.
Police...
Yu Shinhyeok speaking.
It's me.
Who?
You've already forgotten my voice?
Oh, Gangju.
Just answer me and don't ask any questions.
Your father and twin brother died
in a car accident 20 years ago right?
Why do you ask?
I said don't ask any questions.
Was it a car accident?
Yes.
Where was the accident?
I have to check something.
What are you checking?
Was it in Gangwondo?
Yes, maybe.
I see.
Why are you suddenly curious
about this 20 year old matter?
Do you have any time tomorrow?
I have something to tell you.
I can't tell you over the phone.
Can you tell me something?
Is there something going on between you and Mr. Yu?
Did he dump you or something?
They look alike.
He looks like my brother.
A lot.
Is that it?
Lots of people look alike.
He's the spitting image of him.
I understand, but remember where you are.
Keep your professional and personal life separate.
It's no good for a new employee to
be the object of gossip so soon.
I'm sorry. I'll be more careful.
Were you looking for me?
Are you Yang Mancheol's wife?
Yes, I am.
Someone asked me to give this to you.
What is it?
I don't know. I'm just passing it on.
Oh yes.
Have you seen anything unusual
in Mancheol's belongings?
What do you mean unusual?
Anything.
If you find something, give me a call.
I'm not a bad person.
Your restaurant is now your own.
Mancheol was worried about you
and your daughters before he died.
This is my reward to him for following his conscience.
Please, accept this.
I don't know who you think I am,
but my name is Yu Shinhyeok.
I couldn't believe it...
because I couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe it at all.
The person you know looks a lot like me?
Enough to confuse us?
Forgive my rudeness.
Give the lady this umbrella.
Yes sir.
Mr. Yu wanted you to have this.
Why are you so late?
Have you been waiting?
Yes.
Have you been drinking?
A little.
It's late. Go to bed.
Mother.
Can you fix me something to eat?
I suddenly have a craving for your cooking.
It's late to be eating.
You must be really hungry.
Yes, I am.
Don't you like the housekeeper's cooking?
No. It's okay.
It's not healthy to eat this late at night.
Eat slowly.
Okay.
Where are you going?
Keep me company.
But you don't like people watching when you eat.
Right. It's kind of weird.
I guess the liquor made me a little boy again.
Then I'll stay.
No. It's okay.
You can go. I feel more comfortable.
I can eat alone.
I like eating alone.
Okay then.
Why were you so late last night?
I met some friends for dinner for
the first time in ages. That's why.
Really?
See you later.
Eunha.
We might be able to find Haeun's real family.
What do you mean?
That's odd.
What?
You know Kim Seongho's son?
Twice, he's had charges against him dropped.
His father's rich. He probably pulled some strings.
What I'm saying is that each time it
happened, Chief Heo got a new car.
Let's have a heart to heart.
About what?
About your old colleague you've avoided discussing.
Seongho must have bribed Chief Heo.
According to Seongho's secretary,
he withdrew $50,000 in cash once.
It was the same day he met with Chief Heo.
I see.
What about the thing I asked you the last time?
I'm going to see someone who worked with
Congressman Lee at the Ministry of Construction.
He was fired because of Lee, so he has a lot to say.
I'm so lucky to have met you.
I'm just doing it for the money.
And I can use some of the information in the local paper.
Not without clearing it with me first.
I know.
I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious.
What is it?
Why are you doing this? Do you have a grudge?
I'll call you soon.
Wait!
Are you sure we haven't met before?
It's possible, somewhere.
I'm sure I've seen him before.
Where was it?
Do you mind if I say on the air that you're under
investigation for covering up your colleague's crimes?
Under investigation? That's not true.
Then what was it?
Haeun was on the run because
he was charged with corruption.
Watch your mouth!
He didn't do anything corrupt.
What about the witness and evidence?
It was a set up.
A set up?
All the witnesses and evidence were false?
Who did it?
And why?
The Kungneung investigation team is looking on his case.
Don't taint his name anymore.
If he was set up, the truth has to come out.
Isn't that your job as his colleague?
My intention is not to get a story about a crooked cop.
I want to know the truth about his involvement in
this setup and why he had to die in Gangwando.
I told you, another team's working on it.
Excuse me. I think we can trust that reporter.
So what? What are you saying?
I'm saying that she's right about the suspicious things.
How does a reporter find
evidence that we can't even find?
Reporters are all the same. She's just after a story.
We have to find the evidence.
And I'll do anything, no matter how long it takes.
Sir, you have a parcel.
Thanks.
There's no return address.
The truth always come out.
Take care until that day.
What brings you here?
I wanted to say hello.
And I want to discuss the matter of the Star Hotel.
What about the Star Hotel?
As you know, I will probably
manage the Star Hotel in the future.
That's something I need time to think about.
We're not talking about a local motel.
A hotel is a big business.
I've been in the resort business for 15 years.
The hotel business is different.
I hope you didn't forget the promise
you made when I got rid of Daeshik.
Promise?
I told you I'd think about it,
but I didn't make any promises.
And I paid you enough for the job.
I'm disappointed in you.
I trusted you.
That's why I betrayed Daeshik, a partner of 15 years.
That's not all. Seo Haeun...
Are you threatening me?
I would never threaten you.
I just want to remind you that we're
in the same boat. That's all.
We?
Yes.
You and I.
Us.
What's that?
This is getting interesting.
Right.
It was 2 years ago...
I really don't understand.
This is ridiculous. I don't get it.
I don't want you to understand. Just put me in jail.
Then why go through all that effort to defraud...
Hey, let's go get some dumplings.
What are you doing here? This isn't your team.
I know you'll join my team soon. So what?
Are you busy?
Can't you see?
I'll wait here.
Chipeko says
you were getting unpaid wages for migrant
workers and you defrauded your boss to do so.
Scamming a guy who threaten to turn in migrant
workers for visa violation isn't fraud. It's justice.
So did you take your boss' money?
Keeping record isn't a good idea.
A cop?
What cop?
I don't know his name.
He said he was Officer Seo.
I said I really wanted to go
home so he bought me a ticket.
I'm leaving in 2 days.
A cop told me that.
There were some criminals he wouldn't arrest.
He said you were one of them.
Right, that's him.
Let's eat lunch.
Eunyeong, will you join us?
Yes?
I'll treat you. Is the cafeteria okay?
Sure.
He's changed a lot.
It's a good change.
Who are the flowers from?
I don't know.
If you don't know, who knows?
Congratulations on passing the exam
to enter Mureung Construction Corp.
I look forward to running into you a third time.
Best regards,
Jeong Jinwu
Mrs. Lee, Eunha,
you have a meeting with the vice president at 3 o'clock.
Is it about the convention project?
Yes.
Why did Dongchan come to see my father?
He probably came to talk about
the Star Hotel with the chairman.
Star Hotel?
Yes. He's been trying to acquire it.
The chairman went to see Congressman Lee.
I see.
Keep me informed about Dongchan's moves.
Yes sir.
You have a dinner appointment with
academics from the technical committee.
I'm aware of that.
How long are you going to put up with him?
Now he's threatening us!
He'll stab us in the back.
We have to be careful. He knows too much.
But he wouldn't say too much,
because he's the murderer.
Remember, once it happens
we have more to lose than he does.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
We underestimated Dongchan.
Don't worry too much. He's just a street punk.
By the way, what do you think about Shinhyeok?
Hasn't he been acting a little odd?
Odd?
He's been different lately.
He's finally showing his manhood.
He told me he's going to marry Gangju because of you.
Have you met Shinhyeok recently?
Yes, we had drinks a few days ago.
I see.
Have a seat.
We are very close to the committee's final decision.
We have to show them something
different from the old convention center.
Like you said before,
in order to use the geography of Gangwondo in the design, we
need to revise the motto to "Harmony of nature and culture."
My company's design concept is
high technology leading the 21st century.
We already know that J&C is emphasizing
advanced technology in their design.
So we will stand out by focusing
on environmentally friendly elements.
Actually Eunha has some ideas concerning the revision.
It's not a big change, but we can
do the interior with a wood finish.
Also we can make one big hall,
rather than a bunch of small halls.
That way, it's better for displaying big exhibits.
And we can always divide a big
hall into several rooms with partitions.
That's a good idea. Anything else?
I promise to finish the research center by end of this year.
No, you don't have to...
No, it's my pleasure.
There's nothing wrong with a
company contributing to research.
I want to be a part of every aspect of the project.
It's better for the interior team
to work with the design team.
That's good. I was going to ask you
and Mrs. Lee to do that anyway.
I see.
I'll be there around 9 o'clock.
Hello.
Long time no see.
Do I know you?
My name is Gongmyeong. We met about two years ago.
When did you get out?
A few months ago.
What are you doing here?
You can't be back in trouble already.
I came to see Officer Seo.
Officer Seo?
Yes.
He's the one who submitted a petition
to the Ministry of Labor for me, right?
Yes, but why do you want to see Haeun?
Oh, his name is Haeun?
Why do you want to see him?
I want to thank him.
Where is he now?
It's impossible to see him now.
Why?
Did he transfer to a different area?
Have you been waiting long?
No. I just got here. Let's go.
It must be a rumor that Mr. Yu
broke up with his fiancée.
Forget them. Let's go for a drink
before our big day tomorrow.
No more live squid or octopus.
Okay. We'll get something else today.
That's great!
Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
Let's go to Miracle Bar.
No, somewhere else.
Why? I thought you liked it there.
I've been in the office all day. I need fresh air.
That's a good idea.
It's better for what I'm about to tell you.
Seat belt.
Okay.
So tell me why you asked me about my past.
Just tell me. What is it?
It's something serious.
Serious?
I found your twin who died 20 years ago.
But...
He's a cop in the violent crimes department.
He was murdered recently in Gangwondo.
Your twin Ganghyeok was alive and
living under the name Seo Haeun.
Seo Haeun?
Yes.
He lost his memory including
his name after the car accident.
That's why he couldn't look for his family.
Just after the accident, Ganghyeok
was left with Seo Jaesu by someone.
How did you find out all this?
Jaesu asked me to find out.
He wanted me to prove Ganghyeok's innocence.
He was on the run, accused of being a crooked cop.
But it's very suspicious.
In what way?
It looks like he was set up.
His colleague seems to be hiding something too.
Do you intend to keep covering this story?
Of course. It's about your twin, not some stranger.
And I want to keep my promise to Jaesu.
He loved Ganghyeok as if he were his real son.
I'm sorry about Ganghyeok.
Don't be. I'm glad to hear this from
you and not from somebody else.
I would never have imagined this.
You're right.
Can you do me a favor?
I want to keep this between you and me for a while.
What are you talking about?
Your mother should know.
She's Ganghyeok's mother too.
She thinks he died 20 years ago.
If she finds out he was alive, she'll be in shock.
I know it must be hard to lose your family but...
Gangju.
Don't say you know how it feels.
Unless you go through it,
you'll never know how it feels.
I don't want her to remember him
as a crooked cop and then murdered.
She'll find out, eventually.
I'll keep investigating whether
he was really set up or not.
Just keep it a secret for now.
If what you say is true, don't tell my
mother until you know everything.
Please.
Take care.
I'll call you when I know more.
It's quite interesting.
What is?
After all this time, I guess you
and I do have a shared fate.
Yes. Although I didn't think so.
This is Jaesu's number.
You should go over and see him.
Ganghyeok had a sister, too.
I don't know.
Don't you want to see what kind of life he led?
You'd better get going.
How can he act so calm?
He's himself again.
What happened to that reporter?
She should have called by now about Haeun's family.
Dad!
Hi Eunha.
Have some dumplings.
Have you been drinking?
I had drinks with my colleagues.
But you never drink.
Come and sit down.
Have some. They're still warm.
Goodness! I think I bought too much.
Please stop being so silly!
Haeun's gone. You've got to get on with your life!
Eunha, you'll be okay.
Time cures everything.
You have to give it some time...
I miss him so much.
I really do.
I miss him so much, I don't know how to move on.
I really don't know what to do.
I can't do anything.
You'll be okay.
When?
When am I going to be okay?
How long do I have to wait?
I'm not going to be okay.
I can't go on like this.
You're late.
You're still up?
Don't you remember?
I'm studying for university entrance exams.
Take it easy. Don't burn yourself out.
What's wrong with him?
According to the officer in charge, the one demanding
ransom over the phone is the likely accomplice.
The suspect was caught on video camera
so write a story as soon as they get him.
Okay.
Oh yeah. Any progress on the
story you've been covering?
I'm still working on it.
Still working on it?
Submit a draft by the end of this week!
Yes.
Are you reporter Lee Gangju?
Yes.
This is for you.
Who is it from?
I'm not sure. It was delivered.
Dear Gangju.
In any complicated case, there's always a starting point.
If you want to know the truth about Haeun's death,
find the place where it all began.
But, remember this.
A butterfly doesn't fear the sea because
it doesn't know how deep it is.
Likewise, your fearlessness could put you at risk.
Congressman Lee had an affair with Suyeon
when he worked at the Ministry of Construction.
They were quite serious but Suyeon
resigned 3 months before he got married.
Did you hear all this from the
guy who used to work for him?
Yes. He must have hated Lee.
He just went on and on.
Ah, do you know where Suyeon lives?
She disappeared long ago.
She's missing?
And I know where her mother lives.
According to her family register, she has s son.
A son?
He must be a grandson.
She's nearly 80 years old.
She wouldn't have a 25-year old son.
That's great stuff.
That's nothing. I've done better.
And this is her address.
Are you going to visit her?
Thanks. Bye.
Officer Seo!
Long time no see, Officer!

Are you Yang Mancheol's wife?
Yes, I am.
Someone asked me to give this to you.
What is it?
I don't know. I'm just passing it on.
Oh yes.
Have you seen anything unusual
in Mancheol's belongings?
What do you mean unusual?
Anything.
If you find something, give me a call.
I'm not a bad person.
Your restaurant is now your own.
Mancheol was worried about you
and your daughters before he died.
This is my reward to him for following his conscience.
Please, accept this.
I don't know who you think I am,
but my name is Yu Shinhyeok.
I couldn't believe it...
because I couldn't believe it.
I couldn't believe it at all.
The person you know looks a lot like me?
Enough to confuse us?
Forgive my rudeness.
Give the lady this umbrella.
Yes sir.
Mr. Yu wanted you to have this.
Why are you so late?
Have you been waiting?
Yes.
Have you been drinking?
A little.
It's late. Go to bed.
Mother.
Can you fix me something to eat?
I suddenly have a craving for your cooking.
It's late to be eating.
You must be really hungry.
Yes, I am.
Don't you like the housekeeper's cooking?
No. It's okay.
It's not healthy to eat this late at night.
Eat slowly.
Okay.
Where are you going?
Keep me company.
But you don't like people watching when you eat.
Right. It's kind of weird.
I guess the liquor made me a little boy again.
Then I'll stay.
No. It's okay.
You can go. I feel more comfortable.
I can eat alone.
I like eating alone.
Okay then.
Why were you so late last night?
I met some friends for dinner for
the first time in ages. That's why.
Really?
See you later.
Eunha.
We might be able to find Haeun's real family.
What do you mean?
That's odd.
What?
You know Kim Seongho's son?
Twice, he's had charges against him dropped.
His father's rich. He probably pulled some strings.
What I'm saying is that each time it
happened, Chief Heo got a new car.
Let's have a heart to heart.
About what?
About your old colleague you've avoided discussing.
Seongho must have bribed Chief Heo.
According to Seongho's secretary,
he withdrew $50,000 in cash once.
It was the same day he met with Chief Heo.
I see.
What about the thing I asked you the last time?
I'm going to see someone who worked with
Congressman Lee at the Ministry of Construction.
He was fired because of Lee, so he has a lot to say.
I'm so lucky to have met you.
I'm just doing it for the money.
And I can use some of the information in the local paper.
Not without clearing it with me first.
I know.
I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious.
What is it?
Why are you doing this? Do you have a grudge?
I'll call you soon.
Wait!
Are you sure we haven't met before?
It's possible, somewhere.
I'm sure I've seen him before.
Where was it?
Do you mind if I say on the air that you're under
investigation for covering up your colleague's crimes?
Under investigation? That's not true.
Then what was it?
Haeun was on the run because
he was charged with corruption.
Watch your mouth!
He didn't do anything corrupt.
What about the witness and evidence?
It was a set up.
A set up?
All the witnesses and evidence were false?
Who did it?
And why?
The Kungneung investigation team is looking on his case.
Don't taint his name anymore.
If he was set up, the truth has to come out.
Isn't that your job as his colleague?
My intention is not to get a story about a crooked cop.
I want to know the truth about his involvement in
this setup and why he had to die in Gangwando.
I told you, another team's working on it.
Excuse me. I think we can trust that reporter.
So what? What are you saying?
I'm saying that she's right about the suspicious things.
How does a reporter find
evidence that we can't even find?
Reporters are all the same. She's just after a story.
We have to find the evidence.
And I'll do anything, no matter how long it takes.
Sir, you have a parcel.
Thanks.
There's no return address.
The truth always come out.
Take care until that day.
What brings you here?
I wanted to say hello.
And I want to discuss the matter of the Star Hotel.
What about the Star Hotel?
As you know, I will probably
manage the Star Hotel in the future.
That's something I need time to think about.
We're not talking about a local motel.
A hotel is a big business.
I've been in the resort business for 15 years.
The hotel business is different.
I hope you didn't forget the promise
you made when I got rid of Daeshik.
Promise?
I told you I'd think about it,
but I didn't make any promises.
And I paid you enough for the job.
I'm disappointed in you.
I trusted you.
That's why I betrayed Daeshik, a partner of 15 years.
That's not all. Seo Haeun...
Are you threatening me?
I would never threaten you.
I just want to remind you that we're
in the same boat. That's all.
We?
Yes.
You and I.
Us.
What's that?
This is getting interesting.
Right.
It was 2 years ago...
I really don't understand.
This is ridiculous. I don't get it.
I don't want you to understand. Just put me in jail.
Then why go through all that effort to defraud...
Hey, let's go get some dumplings.
What are you doing here? This isn't your team.
I know you'll join my team soon. So what?
Are you busy?
Can't you see?
I'll wait here.
Chipeko says
you were getting unpaid wages for migrant
workers and you defrauded your boss to do so.
Scamming a guy who threaten to turn in migrant
workers for visa violation isn't fraud. It's justice.
So did you take your boss' money?
Keeping record isn't a good idea.
A cop?
What cop?
I don't know his name.
He said he was Officer Seo.
I said I really wanted to go
home so he bought me a ticket.
I'm leaving in 2 days.
A cop told me that.
There were some criminals he wouldn't arrest.
He said you were one of them.
Right, that's him.
Let's eat lunch.
Eunyeong, will you join us?
Yes?
I'll treat you. Is the cafeteria okay?
Sure.
He's changed a lot.
It's a good change.
Who are the flowers from?
I don't know.
If you don't know, who knows?
Congratulations on passing the exam
to enter Mureung Construction Corp.
I look forward to running into you a third time.
Best regards,
Jeong Jinwu
Mrs. Lee, Eunha,
you have a meeting with the vice president at 3 o'clock.
Is it about the convention project?
Yes.
Why did Dongchan come to see my father?
He probably came to talk about
the Star Hotel with the chairman.
Star Hotel?
Yes. He's been trying to acquire it.
The chairman went to see Congressman Lee.
I see.
Keep me informed about Dongchan's moves.
Yes sir.
You have a dinner appointment with
academics from the technical committee.
I'm aware of that.
How long are you going to put up with him?
Now he's threatening us!
He'll stab us in the back.
We have to be careful. He knows too much.
But he wouldn't say too much,
because he's the murderer.
Remember, once it happens
we have more to lose than he does.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
We underestimated Dongchan.
Don't worry too much. He's just a street punk.
By the way, what do you think about Shinhyeok?
Hasn't he been acting a little odd?
Odd?
He's been different lately.
He's finally showing his manhood.
He told me he's going to marry Gangju because of you.
Have you met Shinhyeok recently?
Yes, we had drinks a few days ago.
I see.
Have a seat.
We are very close to the committee's final decision.
We have to show them something
different from the old convention center.
Like you said before,
in order to use the geography of Gangwondo in the design, we
need to revise the motto to "Harmony of nature and culture."
My company's design concept is
high technology leading the 21st century.
We already know that J&C is emphasizing
advanced technology in their design.
So we will stand out by focusing
on environmentally friendly elements.
Actually Eunha has some ideas concerning the revision.
It's not a big change, but we can
do the interior with a wood finish.
Also we can make one big hall,
rather than a bunch of small halls.
That way, it's better for displaying big exhibits.
And we can always divide a big
hall into several rooms with partitions.
That's a good idea. Anything else?
I promise to finish the research center by end of this year.
No, you don't have to...
No, it's my pleasure.
There's nothing wrong with a
company contributing to research.
I want to be a part of every aspect of the project.
It's better for the interior team
to work with the design team.
That's good. I was going to ask you
and Mrs. Lee to do that anyway.
I see.
I'll be there around 9 o'clock.
Hello.
Long time no see.
Do I know you?
My name is Gongmyeong. We met about two years ago.
When did you get out?
A few months ago.
What are you doing here?
You can't be back in trouble already.
I came to see Officer Seo.
Officer Seo?
Yes.
He's the one who submitted a petition
to the Ministry of Labor for me, right?
Yes, but why do you want to see Haeun?
Oh, his name is Haeun?
Why do you want to see him?
I want to thank him.
Where is he now?
It's impossible to see him now.
Why?
Did he transfer to a different area?
Have you been waiting long?
No. I just got here. Let's go.
It must be a rumor that Mr. Yu
broke up with his fiancée.
Forget them. Let's go for a drink
before our big day tomorrow.
No more live squid or octopus.
Okay. We'll get something else today.
That's great!
Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
Let's go to Miracle Bar.
No, somewhere else.
Why? I thought you liked it there.
I've been in the office all day. I need fresh air.
That's a good idea.
It's better for what I'm about to tell you.
Seat belt.
Okay.
So tell me why you asked me about my past.
Just tell me. What is it?
It's something serious.
Serious?
I found your twin who died 20 years ago.
But...
He's a cop in the violent crimes department.
He was murdered recently in Gangwondo.
Your twin Ganghyeok was alive and
living under the name Seo Haeun.
Seo Haeun?
Yes.
He lost his memory including
his name after the car accident.
That's why he couldn't look for his family.
Just after the accident, Ganghyeok
was left with Seo Jaesu by someone.
How did you find out all this?
Jaesu asked me to find out.
He wanted me to prove Ganghyeok's innocence.
He was on the run, accused of being a crooked cop.
But it's very suspicious.
In what way?
It looks like he was set up.
His colleague seems to be hiding something too.
Do you intend to keep covering this story?
Of course. It's about your twin, not some stranger.
And I want to keep my promise to Jaesu.
He loved Ganghyeok as if he were his real son.
I'm sorry about Ganghyeok.
Don't be. I'm glad to hear this from
you and not from somebody else.
I would never have imagined this.
You're right.
Can you do me a favor?
I want to keep this between you and me for a while.
What are you talking about?
Your mother should know.
She's Ganghyeok's mother too.
She thinks he died 20 years ago.
If she finds out he was alive, she'll be in shock.
I know it must be hard to lose your family but...
Gangju.
Don't say you know how it feels.
Unless you go through it,
you'll never know how it feels.
I don't want her to remember him
as a crooked cop and then murdered.
She'll find out, eventually.
I'll keep investigating whether
he was really set up or not.
Just keep it a secret for now.
If what you say is true, don't tell my
mother until you know everything.
Please.
Take care.
I'll call you when I know more.
It's quite interesting.
What is?
After all this time, I guess you
and I do have a shared fate.
Yes. Although I didn't think so.
This is Jaesu's number.
You should go over and see him.
Ganghyeok had a sister, too.
I don't know.
Don't you want to see what kind of life he led?
You'd better get going.
How can he act so calm?
He's himself again.
What happened to that reporter?
She should have called by now about Haeun's family.
Dad!
Hi Eunha.
Have some dumplings.
Have you been drinking?
I had drinks with my colleagues.
But you never drink.
Come and sit down.
Have some. They're still warm.
Goodness! I think I bought too much.
Please stop being so silly!
Haeun's gone. You've got to get on with your life!
Eunha, you'll be okay.
Time cures everything.
You have to give it some time...
I miss him so much.
I really do.
I miss him so much, I don't know how to move on.
I really don't know what to do.
I can't do anything.
You'll be okay.
When?
When am I going to be okay?
How long do I have to wait?
I'm not going to be okay.
I can't go on like this.
You're late.
You're still up?
Don't you remember?
I'm studying for university entrance exams.
Take it easy. Don't burn yourself out.
What's wrong with him?
According to the officer in charge, the one demanding
ransom over the phone is the likely accomplice.
The suspect was caught on video camera
so write a story as soon as they get him.
Okay.
Oh yeah. Any progress on the
story you've been covering?
I'm still working on it.
Still working on it?
Submit a draft by the end of this week!
Yes.
Are you reporter Lee Gangju?
Yes.
This is for you.
Who is it from?
I'm not sure. It was delivered.
Dear Gangju.
In any complicated case, there's always a starting point.
If you want to know the truth about Haeun's death,
find the place where it all began.
But, remember this.
A butterfly doesn't fear the sea because
it doesn't know how deep it is.
Likewise, your fearlessness could put you at risk.
Congressman Lee had an affair with Suyeon
when he worked at the Ministry of Construction.
They were quite serious but Suyeon
resigned 3 months before he got married.
Did you hear all this from the
guy who used to work for him?
Yes. He must have hated Lee.
He just went on and on.
Ah, do you know where Suyeon lives?
She disappeared long ago.
She's missing?
And I know where her mother lives.
According to her family register, she has s son.
A son?
He must be a grandson.
She's nearly 80 years old.
She wouldn't have a 25-year old son.
That's great stuff.
That's nothing. I've done better.
And this is her address.
Are you going to visit her?
Thanks. Bye.
Officer Seo!
Long time no see, Officer!
