(Episode 25)
Hello. This is Detective Shin Ho Bang at Mapo Police Station.
You're the one who put up the banner in Chungho, right?
The banner in Chungho?
Yes, that's right. It was me.
I have some information for you.
Did you witness the accident that happened 12 years ago?
Hello?
Hello? I'm listening.
On the day of the accident 12 years ago,
a murder took place inside the school.
That's right. Please go on.
I want to give you some information...
about that murder case.
What is the information you have?
I know that the student who was murdered...
went to school to meet a teacher on that night.
A teacher? Who was the teacher?
Hello? Are you there?
Detective, I think it'd be better to talk to you face to face.
Yes, I'd like to. When can you meet me?
I think this person might know who the real murderer is.
Hae Sung, I think we'll be able to clear your name.
He went to school to meet a teacher?
Ho Bang, doesn't this mean that the teacher...
Yang Kyung Chul met could be the murderer?
That's possible. That teacher could be the culprit.
Looking at the caller ID, he must've called from a pay phone.
Let's wait until he calls us again.
Hae Sung.
Is it possible that Young Jun isn't the murderer?
The driver of the chairman wasn't the one who was driving that night?
No, he wasn't.
After hearing that, Ho Bang put up a banner on the off chance...
it'd be helpful, and he received a call just like that.
This is great news. It really is.
I hope we can find the real murderer soon.
This is great news, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
Anyway, you don't need to worry.
Everything will be okay.
Okay.
Am I smelling corns?
I think Ho Bang steamed the corns.
Let's go back in.

- Hello. - Hi.
I'm sorry, but we are not ready to open yet.
I'm sorry to bother you. I know you're busy.
We're from Chungho Department Store.
I'm from the Planning Division. I'm in charge of designing events.
This is Tae Hoon's department store.
What does Chungho Department Store want from us?
We're planning an event to celebrate 15-year anniversary of the store.
This is like a contest of street food.
We'd like to get all the famous restaurants in one place...
and invite our guests.
Profits will go to an institution for children. It's for a good cause.
It'd be honor if you can participate in our event.
We'd be thrilled if you can join us.
We're not interested.
Wait, sir!
Will the chairman attend the event by any chance?
Of course he will. That's how important this event is.
I really hope you can join our event.
You're certain the chairman will be there.
I'll try to talk to him.
Okay.
Thank you.
Did they leave?
Yes.
They did leave.
Mr. Cha, let's join the event at Chungho Department Store.
- I won't. - Why not?
We can promote our food truck. It'll be worth it.
The person who withdrew the investment of my restaurant...
and caused me to lose my business...
works at the department store.
Really?
Who is that?
Chairman Cha Gwon Pyo.
Sorry?
He's my dad.
What?
He's your dad?
He's my dad who abandoned me when I was a kid.
That's what happened.
How can this be possible?
You might know this.
His son went to the same school with Ms. Jung.
His name is Cha Tae Hoon.
Yes.
I know him.
So you knew him.
Given the circumstance, how can I participate in the event?
You have a point.
I'll get ready for today.
Mr. Cha is Tae Hoon's half brother?
He's the son of Chairman Cha?
Let's start working.
Okay.
Mr. Cha.
This is a bit shocking.
It will be hard for you, but that's all the more reason why we should.
We must show him he can't ruin your business even if he tried to.
That's how you'll take your revenge.
No matter how hard he tramples on us, we won't be ruined.
Let's show him that.
Please?
Mr. Cha, let's just do it.
Salute.
My gosh, look at you yawning.
Don't make it so obvious that you spent the night on a stakeout.
Don't go anywhere else. Just go home and sleep.
Okay.
Bye.
Good work. See you.
Hello, this is Detective Shin Ho Bang at Mapo Police Station.
I'm the person who called you before to tell you about...
the murder incident that happened at Chungho High School.
Yes, please continue.
Would it be possible to meet you at the police station?
Yes, of course.
Can you come by right now?
"Detective Shin Ho Bang".
Thank you for coming all the way here.
I guess I should tell you who I am first.
12 years ago, a student named...
Yang Kyung Chul died in Chungho High School's art room.
I'm his brother.
I see.
I also used to go to school together with Kyung Chul.
Kyung Chul moved to our school when he was a senior.
Really?
I see.
I'm so sorry for what happened.
Okay.
I know it's a case that got closed a long time ago,
but after I saw the banner saying that you're looking for...
the witness of the car accident,
I was suddenly reminded of what had happened back then.
You told me that...
Kyung Chul went to school that day to meet one of his teachers.
Do you know who that was?
He went to see his art teacher.
An art teacher?
Our dad had an illness,
so he always ate dinner at a set time.
Just when we were about to have dinner at 7:30pm,
Kyung Chul got a phone call,
and he said he had to go somewhere without having dinner.
Are you sure he said he was going to meet his art teacher?
Yes.
He said it was weird.
"Why would the art teacher want to see me when she doesn't even know?"
That's what he said before he left.
Do you know the name of the teacher?
No.
Did you also tell this to the police back when everything happened?
Everything was so chaotic since my brother had died.
And the next day, we were told that the murderer was a fellow student.
But the case ended right away because that student also died...
on the same night because of a car accident.
That's right.
But when I saw the banner saying that you're looking for...
a witness of the car accident,
I got really confused.
I heard from the police that...
the estimated time of Kyung Chul's death was from 8pm to 9pm.
But Kyung Chul left home at 7:30pm.
It only takes 20 minutes from our house to his school by foot.
He definitely left after getting a call from his art teacher,
but the culprit turned out to be a fellow student.
I thought that was really weird.
I see.
(Yang Kyung Chul's art teacher, Left home at 7:30pm)
Our school's art teacher?
Hey, Jung Won. You used to be in our school's art club.
Please point out the art teacher.
There were only two art teachers in our school.
Ms. Woo Mi Jin and Ms. Hyun Kyung Eun.
Why do you think an art teacher wanted to meet Kyung Chul?
I never once saw Kyung Chul in the art room.
Why do you think Kyung Chul went to the art room?
Let's take a simple approach.
She could've just asked him to come see her at the art room...
because she's an art teacher.
That's right.
Kyung Chul didn't just go to the art room for no reason.
The art teacher must've called him to meet her there.
Yes, that makes sense.
Then why do you think the art teacher wanted to meet him?
Which one of these teachers do you think asked him to meet?
Ms. Woo Mi Jin.
You're Ms. Woo Mi Jin, right?
Yes.
- "Yang Kyung Chul"? - Yes. Do you know him?
Yes, I do. But why do you ask?
Around the time of the incident, I noticed that...
you used to be the teacher in charge of the art room.
Is that correct?
Yes. So?
Were you close to Yang Kyung Chul?
Detective, I don't know that student at all.
But you just told me that you do know him.
I know his name because he died in the art room.
Please calm down.
By any chance, did you call him on the night of the incident?
I had to undergo therapy for a long time because...
I got insomnia due to that incident.
If you have more to ask, please send an official notice of appearance.
I'll show up with my attorney.
Try to lift it up a bit more.
Lift it up a bit more.
My gosh, why can't you still get it right in one go?
Ms. Do.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for buying my work at such an expensive price.
Mr. Kim, I know a masterpiece when I see one.
I'm buying it because you drew a great picture.
There's nothing to thank me about.
I'm more than happy that my work got your acknowledgement.
I hope you draw a lot more beautiful paintings. I can't wait to see them.
What's going on?
Why is no one here?
Ms. Do.
My gosh, look at how quiet this place is.
I guess the popularity didn't last that long.
It must've been a short spark.
Were there no customers throughout the whole day?
What a waste of my truck.
We should buy some for them.
Ms. Kang, do you want oil pasta?
I want tomato pasta.
Make us 1 cream pasta and 1 tomato pasta.
We've used up all the ingredients, so we're closed already.
What? You're out of ingredients?
Yes, we used up all the ingredients for the day. We can't make anything.
Then you should've prepared more ingredients beforehand.
My gosh, how are you going to run a business with that kind of brain?
We've already thought of that.
But the kitchen's small, so there's a limit to how much we can store.
What? Look at him talk back to everything I say.
Let me ask you something.
What's that dog?
Did you buy that character?
My gosh, what a waste of money.
I think I can draw a better one with my foot.
My gosh, you startled me.
You should've told me that you're here.
I'm the one who drew that dog.
What? You drew this?
My gosh.
You really did a bad job.
I'm glad you cook for a living instead of drawing.
I'm going to keep drawing.
No, don't.
You'll starve yourself to death if you draw for a living.
Ms. Do.
I'm sorry,
but do you even know anything about art?
My gosh, that drawing is really terrible.
Be honest with me.
You're only using that because you're close with her, right?
- What? No, that's not it. - No, that's not it.
You don't know anything about art.
Do you want to know if I do or not?
Yes.
Then shall we meet in private?
Okay, sure.
Fine, let's do that.
Okay, let's.
You can do whatever you want with this.
I have to go to a part-time job now.
Bye.
What's that?
Is it another drawing of a dog? There are too many dogs.
My gosh.
Get rid of all the dog drawings.
Why does my nose always get itchy when I wash dishes?
By the way, why is my head itching?
I must've forgotten something.
Gosh, this is really bothering me.
What did I forget?
Oh, right.
Gosh, what should I do? I only have an hour.
What should I do?
I can't be wearing this.
Go get changed. We have to go somewhere.
What?
Where do we need to go this late?
I'll fill you in on the way. Just go get changed first.
Turn around.
Where's Ho Bang?
I guess he's getting home late.
I see.
We don't have time. Just put on whatever you can find.
Whatever I can find? Are you sure?
Will this be okay?
Yes, let's go.
Hey!
Put it on properly!
You rushed me.
Put it on, please.
Gosh, seriously.
By the way, where are we going?
Are you done?
Yes.
- Let's go. We don't have time. - Let me button this up.
Do it on the way.
Guys, what are you doing here at this hour?
We don't have much time left, Mr. Cha. Please come and sit here.
What is this?
We only have two minutes left.
We went through hoops to buy this.
Hang on a second.
Let's start.
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Mr. Cha - Happy birthday, dear Mr. Cha
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
I'm so happy we got to do this. We didn't forget your birthday.
We almost missed it though.
Thanks so much, guys. Can I cry?
You've gotten funnier since you started selling food on the street.
I've realized that I'm cut out for it.
Here. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Am I supposed to drink all of this at once?
Of course. Bottoms up.
All right.
That's impressive, Mr. Cha.
That looks risky.
- No! - Oh, no.
Gosh, I can't believe it collapsed like that.
Hae Sung, go ahead.
All right.
- That startled me. - Goodness.
- Here I go. - Okay.
1, 2, 3!
It literally knocked you down.
Hae Sung, did you see that?
Oh, no!
You went easy on your cousin.
1, 2...
It knocked you down too.
Mr. Cha.
My gosh.
This is hilarious.
I heard a ton of longhorn beetles were spotted somewhere in Seoul.
Jung Won, you're scared of bugs, right?
Cicadas scare me, especially how they molt.
By the way, how did cicadas get that name?
- Now! - 1 minute and 7 seconds.
- 59 seconds. - 54 seconds.
Let's see. 1, 2, 3.
55 seconds!
Nice. My answer was the closest, right?
Look. Look at this.
All right.
Okay, let's do it again.
Ready, go.
Mr. Cha, have you always liked hanging out like this?
We're doing it for you because it's your birthday,
but are we going to do this all night?
By the way, does this game actually exist?
Yes, because I just came up with it.
I'm having such a great time right now.
To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to hang out...
and walk around with friends like this late at night.
Let's hang out just until the sun comes up.
- Sorry? - Sorry?
- Until the sun comes up? - Until the sun comes up?
Now!
Then I'll start this again.
I want to do it this time.
Mr. Cha, are you really going to stay up all night?
Mr. Cha looked so happy,
so I'm glad we went.
But it was exhausting and painful.
I know.
I'm still glad we celebrated his birthday with him.
To be honest, I didn't think he'd be that excited.
But...
why is it that I feel guilty?
Me too.
Are you feeling the same way too?
I think so.
Then tell me about it.
No, you go first.
I think...
we're doing a wrong thing to him.
Yes, I agree.
Right?
He still thinks that I'm your cousin,
but we're friends.
We should tell him the truth.
I totally agree.
But will you be okay with that?
It'll be fine. I can trust him.
All right, then.
Good.
Then I'll explain the situation to him first tomorrow.
That will be better, right?
All right. You said you left your wallet at his place.
You should talk to him when you're picking it up.
Okay.
It still hurts so much.
Did you just laugh?
What are you doing?
Hey, I'm just trying to dry my sneakers.
- I'll see you later. - Ho Bang.
Is that Detective Shin?
I'll go see Ms. Woo after my shift today.
Jung Won, she might be rude to you.
Prepare yourself mentally.
Don't worry.
- See you later. - Bye.
The two of them are friends?
Ms. Do doesn't know anything about drawings.
Why does she want me to bring my drawings?
She's really something.
I would've believed her if it had been about potatoes or corn.
Oh, I should call Mr. Cha.
Hello?
Mr. Cha.
Can we talk?
I'm driving, but go ahead.
Then I'll be quick.
I have something to tell you.
Can I visit you?
I'm sorry, but I'm going somewhere now.
I see. Then when would be good for us to meet?
Could I give you a call back later?
Sure. I'll wait for you to call then.
Bye.
Salute.
Goodness.
Hello.
Hi.
What brings you here?
I dropped by since I was in the area, and I had a question too.
I see. What is your question?
You know the hairpin that I gave you the other day?
Yes.
I was curious that if the family of the deceased received it.
Yes, of course. I handed it over to the family.
Eating at an open area like this would make the food taste great.
I see.
Why were you curious about that all of a sudden?
No, I was just curious about what happened to the hairpin.
I can understand that. You got to return it after 12 years.
Exactly.
When she was in high school, her boyfriend died because of her.
So she stopped meeting people.
My friend gave it to me when I was in high school.
The student who died on that night...
was Ms. Jung's boyfriend.
