[April 23, 2013]
[Is Park Sun Woo hurt?]
- Sun Woo is refusing treatment? - Yes.
He never came back to the hospital.
We let him get discharged because he promised that he would come for treatments.
This could get serious. Do you have no way of reaching him?
I didn't call him on purpose because he wanted a break.
Okay I will call him.
Ma'am! I told you to come next week!
Hey! It's me.
- When did you get here? - Are you really out of your mind?
You drank all that alone after your surgery?
I'm not supposed to drink?
No wonder it kept hurting.
Is this what you were doing for five days?
You drank all day and night?
It's been five days already?
I had nothing better to do. I had nothing to do all of a sudden.
They announced that I was too hurt to come back. I couldn't go out and have fun.
I can't even go to the hospital. I don't like how the people are looking at me.
I don't have anyone to see either. My co-workers don't even want to see me.
Director hates me.
Min Young is my niece again.
You convinced her really well. She didn't even look back.
Before it was even midnight.
Was it my fault?
Is it hard going back to your place?
Min Young seems to be trying.
I heard she went to the hot springs in Japan with her family.
I was more worried about Min Young, not you.
You were doing so well for months. Even when Min Young was getting married...
Can't you just let it go like you did then?
It's too bright. Close the curtains for me.
Yeah, I got here three days ago.
I didn't know.
He didn't say anything.
Yeah, I will call you when I get back to Seoul.
Hey! Was there news about Uncle Sun Woo not being able to get back because of his wound?
- Who says that? - Se Yoon's mother asked me.
You said that he was okay. What happened?
He doesn't want to work again?
You don't know?
I don't know.
Is he really sick? I should call him.
[Yoo Jin]
Sun Woo! You have a phone call.
Hey answer the phone, it's your sister-in-law.
She must be calling from Japan. Answer it.
Hello? Yoo Jin.
Oh! I just wanted a break and I asked them to break that story out.
- It's nothing. - I was worried.
I felt guilty that we came on a vacation when you were sick.
We're doing well. Over here?
It's hot spring here. One sec.
- Why? - Where is this place?
I don't even know the name because you dragged me here.
- Noboribetsu. - You tell him.
Hello?
Uncle Sun Woo! It's me.
Yeah.
We're at Noboribetsu in Hokkaido.
Oh! I see.
What are you doing at home?
What is there to do? I eat, sleep, and have fun. It's fun to be jobless.
It's almost heaven.
How about you? How are you doing?
Of course! I eat, sleep, and have fun.
You know what it's like to be without a job.
- What about Jung Woo? - Dad? He didn't come with us.
He didn't go with you?
No. He had a VIP surgery, so he has to come tomorrow.
He will come. Tomorrow is their anniversary.
I don't know why he even bothers if he's just coming for one night.
I see.
Okay, have fun.
Okay, you too.
Hey, let's drink this and go back to the hot spring.
Again? Doesn't it get old?
It feels so good to sweat. I think I was going to die of frustration.
Get up while you're awake. Let's go eat lunch.
How is Jung Woo doing? I haven't seen him.
Jung Woo? He went on a vacation.
- She says that he didn't come with her. - What?
She said that he didn't go because of his VIP surgery.
What is she saying? He's been on vacation. He didn't come to work today.
But he didn't go to Japan? Where is he then?
- He's not answering? - Call the hospital.
Okay.
Yes, this is Hanseo Hospital.
Dr. Han? Chief?
He's on a vacation today. VIP surgery?
No, that's not on the schedule.
[Sun Woo]
Chief?
Yes? He's not in his office.
I didn't see him leaving the office.
I think he left his phone in the office. I can hear it.
His phone is in the office? The door is locked and he's not answering?
Nurse Park! Ask them to open the door.
Call security.
Hey! You can't drive, you're drunk!
Get in my car.
He wouldn't. He must be stressed too.
He just wants to be alone.
Just like you did.
Hey you can't run!
What's going on? Why are you breaking into his room?
I don't know.
Dr. Han told me to open the door.
He locked it from the inside.
Chief! Can you open the door?
Chief! Open the door.
Isn't that Park Sun Woo? What is he doing here? How shameless.
Chief!
Who are you?
Chief!
Get up! Chief!
Chief.
Move! Move!
I'm sorry for everyone.
Come in.
I didn't have anything else to do. I was drinking.
You want to drink too? This is really good stuff.
I went to see Min Young.
Why don't you two leave?
Then we will go back to America too.
If you go somewhere to settle down, and if we leave as well...
it won't matter what anyone says here.
It will be hard for Min Young's mother to accept it...
but as time goes, she will understand someday.
She's still her mother.
There is nothing I can do for you.
If leaving was best, I would have left already without looking back.
But that's not the best option.
There is no best option here.
It's already way out of control.
It's not about picking the best solution but picking anything that works.
But... even that's not up to us.
Our ways failed once already.
It's up to Min Young to decide.
That's how we will make it fair.
Don't beat yourself up. Min Young chose you as her father.
Life is... really hell.
Give this to my brother, Sun Woo.
What happened?
- Director? - What are you talking about?
This could just be a personal grudge.
From what I've heard, Park Sun Woo's love life wasn't exactly clean.
You deserve to get stabbed in the street if you live like that.
I think this has nothing to do with Choi Jin Cheol.
Hey you bastard! My staff got stabbed and you're jeering about it?
What proof do you have?
If you dare to release anything based solely rumors, I will kill you.
Prick!
- Director! - Don't let anyone give anything to DBM.
Okay.
But sir...
What a prick. I should have taken him out with the Geoje Island case.
Director!
- What? - I just got this.
I found it.
He won't survive tonight.
He seems like he suffered from depression.
But still...
Shouldn't you call your sister-in-law?
If they don't come back soon, they may not see him go.
You want me to call them?
I will call them.
Should we get a guide?
It's a small place. We don't need a guide.
But still, we're on vacation.
Let's go.
[Dr. Han]
Hello?
Yes, Dr. Han. What's going on?
Us? We're at the hotel.
What?
Come out! Let's go.
What? Who is it?
What is it?
[Kim Bum Suk]
I called Min Young.
She says that she bought the plane tickets. It won't take long.
You need to get treated.
Kim?
[Kim Bum Suk]
- Hello? - Where are you?
- What? - They found the man who stabbed you.
Come this way.
I told you to go easy on the water. Look at the water bill!
It wasn't me.
Shut up! You think I'm blind?
Mr. Park! That's...
What the heck?
I think they are here to ticket us.
- Mr. Park Chang Min? - Oh my, welcome.
It's good to see you working hard, Detectives.
How can I help you?
You're under arrest for assaulting Park Sun Woo.
- Take him. - What?
Hold on. What is this?
You're accused of stabbing Park Sun Woo on April 11th at CBM studio and running away.
We found your DNA at the scene, and you're the prime suspect.
There is a chance that you may run away, so we're arresting you.
You have the right to defend yourself with an attorney.
- Take him. - Hold on! Hold on!
Hey! Who is Park Sun Woo?
What are you talking about?
How did you find him? There is no evidence.
We had one.
His fingernail.
The police took everything from the surgery.
They found the suspect's fingernail there.
He broke his finger when he was stabbing you.
They got the DNA from the nail.
Fortunately he had his DNA registered in the National Science Investigation.
He was convicted in 2004.
His name is Park Chang Min. Age 64.
He owns a gas station near Seoul.
He has 14 prior offenses of assault, robbery, and attempt of murder.
This will make headlines. Do you know what we've just found?
From 1993 to 2002...
Myungse Hospital wired money to Park Chang Min's wife and parents.
His parents don't even know what Myungse Hospital was.
The wiring was more than 1 billion Won over the 10 years.
This is proof that Choi Jin Cheol has been hiring guns since then.
It's over for him. This goes out tonight.
If he gets attempted of murder by proxy added onto his offense...
he wouldn't be able to make bail.
You should report this on screen yourself.
It's really a pity. But we still got him.
- How do you feel? - How do I feel?
Yes.
The worst.
- Huh? - Where is Choi Jin Cheol right now?
Choi Jin Cheol? His trial is tomorrow. They must be planning.
He didn't take his meds. He didn't come to the hospital.
You should go check him out.
He doesn't take meds either? What do I do then?
Where is he?
[Conspiracy of Assaulting a Journalist]
Mr. Choi.
These journalists just write whatever they like to write.
Get the legal department up here. Call them now.
Yes sir. But...
Someone's been calling to talk to you. He is reckless.
- Who? - He says he's Park from 20 years ago.
He says that you would know.
What should I tell him? Should I just hang up?
Give it to me.
- Hello? - Choi.
This is Park Chang Min. I met you 20 years ago because of the arson.
Do you remember me?
What do you need?
I think you need to help me.
What?
I'm at the police station for stabbing Park Sun Woo.
I don't even know who he is. I never stabbed him.
How can I stab someone I don't even know?
But... my fingernail was found on the knife.
Isn't that weird?
I saw the picture.
This is really impossible.
He looks exactly like the guy who jumped off the bridge back then.
He didn't get old either.
Hey... you know what drives me nuts the most?
That knife.
It's my knife from 20 years ago.
The one I stabbed him with.
I never stabbed him. But I did stab someone like him 20 years ago.
How do I explain that to the police?
Let's go.
I will call you later. Try to figure out what happened.
Don't think about deserting me. If I'm found guilty for this...
I won't go down alone.
That knife! It's my knife from 20 years ago.
The one I stabbed him with.
No way...
It's really Park Sun Woo?
Because I'm you. What does that mean?
I die from a brain tumor at 38?
Mr. Park Sun Woo who should be living in 2013 if you're alive...
Are you reading this? Please come see me. I will be waiting for you.
The only evidence that didn't burn or melt in the fire.
Something I have never seen before. But it has my finger prints on it.
Is he here?
What are you doing?
The man is caught. Choi Jin Cheol will figure it out soon.
What?
He will try to find out at all costs.
With his disgusting will.
- We will see. - What?
I will have to go see who killed my father then.
You're going to see? How?
It's easier than you think.
I don't believe in fingerprints from 20 years ago. I only deal with facts.
Why isn't the body floating?
- It's been 10 days. - I don't know, either.
Maybe it was caught by aqua plants.
You think he's alive?
If he survived that then he's not human.
He could barely walk.
How could he swim out of the river?
Impossible.
How is this...
Did you call me, sir?
Call Park Sun Woo's brother right now.
You mean the chief of surgery in Hanseo Hospital?
Yes, Park Jung Woo.
Call him and tell him that I want to see him ASAP.
Yes, sir.
It will be the easiest to convince him.
What about the incense stick? What about the last one?
We need to get rid of it. It won't be over just because I don't use it.
- Did you get him? - Actually...
I called the hospital. Dr. Park Jung Woo is in the ICU right now.
- Why? - They won't tell me.
I think he tried to commit suicide.
[Hanseo Hospital]
It's Park Sun Woo.
I thought you would be laying down because you were hurt. You were here.
I heard that Jung Woo is in critical condition.
May I step in?
We're still old friends.
He heard about your brother and came to visit. He doesn't mean any harm.
[Give this to my brother]
Sun Woo...
Forgive me for leaving all the burden on you whenever life gets hard.
I know what you have sacrificed for my life.
I don't have the strength to prolong this life.
I'm sorry.
There is something I didn't tell you.
About my birth.
My father is Choi Jin Cheol.
Is what my Father said true?
I'm... not his son?
Or was it just in his head?
Tell me!
[45 years ago] What are you doing Jin Cheol?
How could you do this to me? How can you marry my friend?
What did I do wrong? I don't get it.
You didn't take one look at me.
You knew how I felt about you, but you didn't look at me.
You shouldn't have given me hope then. You always smiled at me.
- But you ended up going for the money. - I never did that.
You did everyday.
- You betrayed me. - That's in your head.
I only saw you a few times because you begged me so much.
- You're marrying him for the money! - No!
- It's because I like him. - Don't lie.
His character is better than yours.
It's not because he has more money than you.
You little bitch.
- What are you doing? - Let me go!
[Inn]
I'm sure that mom didn't either. I didn't want anyone to know.
- I couldn't do anything. - I was ashamed that I was born from that.
I was born like that and I made Mother unhappy.
I made trouble between my parents for decades.
Eventually I killed my father who raised me.
If that wasn't enough, I got in the way of my daughter's happiness.
I have hurt my little brother.
My life was a bad start from the beginning.
I couldn't stand my life being so miserable and shameful.
Try... to understand Mother and me.
I'm sorry.
What happened? I thought his life was fine.
He was always unstable.
He always had a weak heart.
Naive.
I'm sorry.
It looks like you don't know who should really be sorry.
What?
You have no idea what you're losing.
I feel sorry for you.
What are you saying?
I'm not even going to tell you. Because it's such a big shame on his life.
I don't know what you're saying.
Why did you come here? You didn't come to see him off did you?
There must be something you want from me.
I do.
20 years ago. There was a man who was stabbed and disappeared.
He gave the exact same video tapes to Jung Woo that you gave to me.
He jumped in the river. We couldn't find his body.
I was wondering where he was hiding.
You have no idea how much I looked for him.
For months!
I don't know how this happened.
He's right in front of me, right now.
Do I have dementia already?
How could he?
How?
Is it like a time machine from the movies?
Yes.
Is it like a time machine from the movies?
Yes.
You have a time machine?
Yes. I do.
Are you jealous? You have nothing to be jealous about.
This didn't do me much good.
I'm not here to joke around. My life depends on this.
You know.
My trial is tomorrow. I will be in prison after that.
Now I'm going to be framed for the murder by proxy of you.
It's not framing. You did try to murder by proxy.
The thug you sent did stab me.
This is different.
You could do anything because the police were corrupt.
And in 2013 they have the technology to find the suspect with just a broken nail.
Do you know what I'm thinking?
You think it's unfair that your life is going to end like this.
I think it's unfair that you had a good life for the last 20 years. It drives me nuts.
That's what I'm thinking right now. Should I take away that 20 years too?
Why don't I make it a life where you don't even get remotely close to success?
Or should I just kill you cleanly?
Should I go back, stab you and come back? Just like you did to me.
I will get away with it clean.
They won't find missing fingernails.
I think I gave you enough information.
Why don't you get lost now?
You think I can't find out if I want to from now on?
I was thinking...
I don't know how you're doing this. But if I could do it...
I just need to get rid of one person.
Just a high school kid.
He was the only one who was in my way.
Why did I come such a long way around? Looking for the eye witness.
Just because I'm in prison, it doesn't mean I can't find out.
Like you said, it's the era of technology.
We will see.
