[Episode 9]
Hello.
Detective Kim?
This is Kang Se-na.
Fortunately, you haven't called too late.
I‘m rather impatient.
Where are you right now?
I'll head over there.
Thank you for coming all the way here.
This is undeniable evidence that Jin Hyun-ah was murdered.
Oh, Attorney Cha is a professional,
so he'll know better than me.
Love triangles are often very dangerous.
Still, how could the both of you do such a thing?
How can a lawyer kill his future sister-in-law?
Watch your mouth.
There's no need to discuss this any further.
I won't need to count this?
Do you think I'll cheat you when our lives are on the line?
Now we're on the same page.
Yes?
I'm assuming that this is the original copy?
Don't worry.
It's the original.
You'd better not bring this up again.
I give you my word.
Then if you'd excuse me...
Hey.
What happened to you? What's wrong with your phone?
Have you eaten yet?
This belongs to Hyun-ah.
You should read it.
I've already had one. You drink that.
Am I fooling myself?
I'd like to smile at him and hold his hand,
and lean on him sometimes.
But I have to give him the cold shoulder.
This is such an important time,
but when I look at Manager Koo, he makes me nervous.
Manager Koo.
Yea, Manager Jin?
I would've accepted it this time.
I'll need to stay strong.
Now's not the time.
But I can't help myself.
Leave it there.
Yes.
No, take it away.
Mom.
Song-ah, I want you to go back to work starting tomorrow.
I need more time.
You've had enough time.
I'm different than you, Mom.
I'm not as cold as you are.
So stop expecting me to be like you.
Can you stop whining already?
Do you think I don't feel like crying?
You have to be strong.
Stop crying, and focus on work!
Do as I tell you.
Hey, Kang-min. Open you door!
Hey, Kang-min!
Come out here and talk to your brother!
Will you?
Kang-min still locked himself inside his room?
Leave him alone.
Son!
What's the matter with you?
This is so disheartening!
You need to eat something to keep up your strength!
Leave him be. He's not going to have an appetite.
You know why he's behaving that way, don't you?
What is it?
Let's go downstairs...
What is it? Tell me!
Why, you...!
What is it? Talk to me!
What about Kang-min?
He's locked himself in his room.
At this rate, he'll end up hurting himself!
Stop overreacting so early in the morning.
Kang-mo.
Yes.
You take charge and help him come to his senses.
He can't give up on life because of one woman!
Yes, sir.
A woman?
Honey.
Did Kang-min have feelings for Manager Jin?
That's why he's behaving like that?
You've discovered that now?
You don't even know what's going on with your son?
How would I know what he's thinking!
He doesn't say a word about it!
I'm frustrated, too!
Enough!
Focus on getting Kang-min engaged!
I'm the punching bag around here?
Alright, beat me! Beat me!
Mom, Mom.
My, goodness...
Song-ah.
You're back earlier than I expected.
I thought you'd take a few more days off.
I wanted to, but I couldn't.
The director forced you to come to work?
You're doing the right thing.
If you don't focus on work,
you'll only become more depressed.
Let's go.
It's too early for that...
Have you arrived?
Good morning.
Jin Song-ah.
Yes, Mr. Hong.
Aren't you too complacent as a new recruit?
How can you take days off...
when you just started your position here?
I'm sorry.
How are you, Chief?
How do you do?
Hello, Chief.
You're putting together a TF team?
Yes.
I'll need someone from your development team.
Shall I recommend someone?
No, I'll choose someone myself.
Very well, then.
Jin Song-ah?
Yes.
From this point forward, you'll be working with me and the TF team.
Me?
Is there another Jin Song-ah here?
What are you doing? Get your things ready.
Yes, sir.
Detective Kim?
This is Koo Kang-min from the JH Group.
How is Jin Hyun-ah's investigation coming along?
What do you mean there's nothing new?
Don't even think about closing the case,
and investigate the cause of the accident.
Aren't we finished with this?
You're rather touchy, aren't you?
I wanted to put Jin Hyun-ah's case behind me, too.
But people are asking me to further the investigation.
Who is?
Not only Director Hong,
but Manager Koo Kang-min is demanding it.
Manager Koo?
Anyways, I'm calling you to tell you to be careful.
Alright.
Stop barging into my office.
There are too many eyes and ears in the company.
I can't discuss this over the phone.
What is it this time?
Manager Koo told Detective Kim...
to thoroughly investigate Jin Hyun-ah's case.
All of this stress is giving me insomnia.
It's driving me insane!
Gun-woo.
What should I do now?
Why are you asking me that?
If you're done, leave my office.
Cha Gun-woo!
How can you do this to me?
I didn't think you'd treat me this way!
And I didn't know you'd treat me like this!
You're not the Kang Se-na that I used to know.
I never should've met with you.
You should've remained as a memory to me.
I regret it.
Gun-woo.
Why are the two of you together?
Starting today, I'm working with the Chief in the TF team.
Okay.
That's good.
I've selected Jin Song-ah for my team.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Oh, you want me to take good care of her?
Yea.
Take good care of my Song-ah.
Don't worry.
She's already doing a great job.
Are you back?
Why are your lips pouty?
You look like a goose.
I don't want to do deliveries anymore.
Why not? I'm paying you for working part time.
You're not even paying me that much.
Why don't you try digging for money then?
You won't find a cent.
Why haven't I heard from Se-na lately?
She pays me well.
She's probably running the company on her own.
She's so busy that she can't even spend time...
with her own family.
I know...
I wonder why she's so busy and unable to come by.
Try and think about it.
Are you sure that you don't have any enemies?
Mom.
Se-na's here.
You weren't asleep yet?
Why are you here at such a late hour?
Um, this...
What is this?
It's some chai tea to give you comfort.
There isn't much I can do for you and Song-ah,
so I thought I'd get you this.
Thanks, Se-na.
Mom, I'll go and make some tea.
Se-na.
Did I disappoint you in some way?
What?
Why would I be disappointed?
You've always been good to me because I'm Song-ah's friend.
I feel relieved that you think that way.
Madam.
I've forgotten everything.
Were you worried about that?
Don't worry about the past.
My mom told me not to blame you when she died, Madam.
She used to reminisce the times you've spent with her.
I had no idea.
To be honest, I'm not here only to see Song-ah.
Then?
Do you have any other reasons?
Whenever I miss my mother, I like speaking with you.
It makes me feel better.
I never knew that you felt that way.
Sit down. Why are you standing?
I didn't want to make myself comfortable in your room,
so I was waiting for you.
There's no need for that.
Thanks.
Thanks for everything.
Jin Song-ah.
Why are you always thanking me?
Did I do that?
But Song-ah, is there a problem between you and the madam?
Why? Does it look that way?
When I met the two of you at the vacation house, you seemed different than before.
Is there a problem?
It started getting uncomfortable when I decided to marry Gun-woo.
Since you're her only remaining daughter,
you should be good to your mother.
Am I wrong?
I want you to write a suicide note in this handwriting.
I'm sorry for coming by so early.
We'll need to inspect Jin Hyun-ah's room.
Please cooperate with the investigation.
What's this?
Mom, Sis, Do-joon,
If you're reading this letter, I've already left this world.
Forgive me for making this decision.
What is that?
Oh, my.
Is that...?
Tell me again.
What are you talking about?
You've found Hyun-ah's suicide note?
Why are you calling me again?
I thought you didn't want to see me anymore,
but here you are calling me.
We need to talk.
I'm busy. I'll see you after work.
She didn't come in for work?
Yea, Kang-min.
Bro.
What's the matter?
They're saying that they've found Jin Hyun-ah's suicide note.
What?
It's nonsense. This can't be.
Manager Jin would never do such a thing.
I know her better than anyone!
Yea, alright.
Calm down, and I'll head home early today.
Yea.
Jin Song-ah.
You go on without me.
Jin Song-ah.
Chief.
I was going to head back down in a moment.
No, I didn't mean anything by it.
Um...
We have a business meeting this evening,
and you have to be there, too.
Chief, I'm sorry, but...
Can I be excused from the meeting?
We're the only members of the TF team,
so you have to be there.
It's our very first mission, so we'll have to be there.
Can you give me a drink?
Did you create Hyun-ah's suicide note?
Are you drunk already?
That's nonsense.
No?
It wasn't you?
Yea.
Let's just say that it was me.
Then how will you explain her anti-depressants?
Are you going to blame that on me, too?
Hyun-ah had already made up her mind,
and she went through with it.
Do you think I'll believe you?
Everything you say sounds like a lie to me.
You're going to be this way?
You should be the one who believes me, if no one else.
Because you alone know that I didn't push Hyun-ah.
Stop running away like a coward.
We're on the same boat now.
Try some of this.
The steak here is famous.
But why aren't we in meeting?
Ah...
To be honest...
I'm sorry, Jin Song-ah.
About what, Chief?
I've lied to you.
What?
There wasn't any meeting to begin with.
Chief.
Are you angry?
You seemed depressed,
so I wanted to make you feel better.
Did I make a mistake?
I've acted hastily.
But try to feel better, since we're already here.
I've read my sister's suicide note.
I feel like I've failed her.
Even when I eat, sleep, and breathe.
I feel bad for my sister.
Don't think like that.
It's a shame that Manager Jin died,
but you can't blame yourself.
Jin Song-ah,
do want me to show you something amusing?
Wait.
Here are two coins.
I'm going to hide one coin.
Watch carefully.
How many coins do I have in this hand?
One.
No, wrong.
Wait.
Now, again.
How many am I holding?
One.
I should drink some coffee.
Just one gulp.
You seem to be doing better than before.
How are you feeling now?
Thanks to you, I feel better.
Thank you, again.
That's good.
Now I'm thankful.
Why are you thankful, Chief?
I lied to you to get you here,
so I was worried that you wouldn't like it.

[Preview]
In my experience, when things are complicated,
it's good to get some fresh air.
Thank you for being concerned about me.
Director, I'd like to meet with you when you have time.
I have something to tell you.
What are you going to say to the director?
You better not bring up some nonsense.
You may have been drunk, but I was sincere.
We're keeping Hyun-ah next to our father.
I don't think I could've endured all of this without you.
How about we expedite our wedding?
I want to protect you and your family.
Director, this letter was sent to you.
What is it?
