(9 years ago)
Hello?
It's okay. Your child will be fine.
I work with your dad.
Take this. It's your dad.
Hello?
- Hi, Min Seo. - Dad.
I'm busy at work,
so can you come with Mom?
I don't want to go in her car.
It's just for today.
Then can you order me pizza tonight?
Should we have a pizza party at the cottage?
Why not at home?
Let's call Mom over and have a pizza party.
- Mom too? - Of course. Does that sound good?
Yes, Dad.
(Episode 25)
Mom...
Your mom won't be convinced.
I thought you were a good actor.
Can you sound more sad?
Mom... Mom...
Was that good?
Yes, that was great.
When's Dad coming by the way?
Dad?
(Left turn at signal)
(Number withheld)
Hello?
I have your child.
Hello?
Get one million dollars ready and wait for further instructions.
If you call the police,
Min Seo will die.
Who are you?
Hello?
(Cheol Min)
Let me talk to Min Seo.
Min Seo? I thought you took her.
What are you talking about?
You were supposed to pick her up today.
I went to her academy, and they said you picked her up already.
Didn't you?
(43B4096)
Hello?
Mom...
Are you okay?
Min Seo.
One million dollars.
Who are you?
If you want to see your child, bring the money...
and come to the National Cemetery by 11 o'clock.
(Jang Min Seo)
Hello?
By midnight...
How do I believe you?
You said you'd bring Min Seo if I gave the money.
By midnight, come to Yongam Reservoir.
You'll only get the money if you return Min Seo safely.
Do you understand?
Oh, dear. Be careful.
(Yongam Reservoir)
(Authorized personnel only)
Hello?
It's all over.
What about Min Seo? How is she?
Don't worry.
Min Seo is safe.
Where is she right now?
Stay calm.
What's important right now is your attitude.
Your wife and child's dead bodies have been found by the police.
Keep that in mind.
Is Min Seo really okay?
Remember what I told you.
Don't ruin this now.
(CEO Jang Cheol Min)
Should I call the police?
You don't need to.
You've got the message, right?
Yes.
When the police find your wife's dead body,
they will call you.
Prepare what you will say to them so they won't suspect you.
I will.
(Honey, I'm sorry.)
(I miss Min Seo so much.)
(I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to be with her now.)
Answer me. What is this?
Why does my company...
have to buy these real estates?
They will be our factory sites.
The board of directors already agreed to this.
What about this then?
(Transferred to Bertram International)
Are those your secret funds?
Anything else I should know about?
I made this decision after running the company over the few years.
Our company will fall behind if we don't find...
a new driving force.
We need new factory sites...
to expand our business.
We also need funds...
to keep ahead of other companies.
Look.
This is what we've been making...
and what we will be making in the future.
This is where...
our driving force and new business lie.
What we need to do is...
build more research facilities and fill them with more researchers.
Why did you buy these pieces of land...
and create filthy money?
Filthy money?
- Is that all you can say? - No.
- I have more things to say. - Give us some privacy.
Stay seated.
Are you really going to do this?
Why? Are you ashamed?
Then you shouldn't have done that.
I am the CEO of this company!
I'm the one who operated it while you were with Min Seo.
- Not anymore. - What?
Why are you so surprised?
Nothing here belonged to you from the beginning.
Honey.
Also, undo what you did with these.
Otherwise, you will be getting a call from the police.
(I can't bear it anymore. I'm going to be with her now.)
You brought this on yourself.
All of this.
You brought it on yourself.
Hello?
This is Han Tae Gyu of Violent Crimes Unit Two.
What?
Chief.
Hey.
They found this halfway up the mountain. What do you think it is?
Open it.
It's her money.
She brought it here nine years ago as a ransom for her daughter.
- Have you called Jang Cheol Min? - Yes.
Where was he yesterday?
I haven't asked him for the details,
but he said he was in his office when he spoke to her on the phone.
Spoke about what?
She told him things like she was miserable, and she missed Min Seo.
She sounded like she was going to kill herself?
Actually, he also received a long text message from her.
Tell him to cut the nonsense.
Take this away.
- By the way, - Those scumbags.
that has to be the body of that crazy woman, right?
What on earth are you...
That person wouldn't be...
Ma Ji Won, right?
Did Ma Ji Won...
really give you this ID card of hers and take all your money?
I can get more money.
From where? Your husband?
I told you that he's an accomplice.
What can't you believe? My words?
Or me?
Eun Ji.
It's not that I can't believe you.
Something that you can't buy with money...
or gain with power. Do you know what it is?
A child.
That's why I trust my husband.
(Detective Han Tae Gyu)
Did you get the document I asked for?
Is your aunt there with you?
She just left. Why?
Are you sure that it's her, not Ma Ji Won?
That woman took the money and left yesterday.
Hello?
Eun Ji, I need to see you.
Right now.
Go ahead.
Is this your wife?
Honey.
Yes. She called me last night.
What time?
It was around 10pm.
She said she was miserable, and she didn't know what to do.
He advised her to turn herself in,
but she only said she would think about it.
Mr. Jang.
(Honey, I'm sorry. I miss Min Seo so much.)
(I can’t bear it anymore. I’m going to be with her now.)
(I wanted to take revenge for Min Seo, but I couldn't.)
Were you alone when she called you?
Why are you asking him about that?
Were you alone?
When she called me,
I was in my office.
After that, I was with my lawyer here.
I see.
You must be happy, Tae Gyu.
The annoying brat ended up committing suicide.
- What do you think? - First of all,
her body's covered with lacerated wounds and hemorrhages.
She seems to have died due to skull fracture.
I found deep wounds on the front and back of her head.
I heard she fell from a mountain.
Yes.
We'll have to do an autopsy to check if she got those wounds...
in the process of falling or from something else.
That's enough.
She's already been through enough because of all of you.
You already checked her identity, and she even left behind a will.
Must you cut her open just so you could gratify your curiosity?
Then let him take care of the body.
What do you mean?
It's exactly what I just said.
She might not be the crazy woman we've been chasing after.
Then who is she?
Are you saying she's Ma Ji Won?
Yes.
- What do you think? - How about we just do an autopsy?
We'll need her family's permission since it's a suicide case.
Then we can try checking her stuff.
They're still at the police station.
He's right.
We could check for her fingerprints and stuff.
Okay, go ahead.
I'll go to the police station.
I want you to go to the site and see if she left behind anything else.
Okay, sir.
Let's announce the case once we're done checking everything.
Sure, let's do that.
Tell me if you get anything.
Yes, ma'am.
- What's going on? - Do you have what I asked for?
I want you to tell me what's going on.
Ma Ji Won got murdered.
Is this legitimate?
It belongs to my aunt. Is Ma Ji Won really...
Her corpse was found this morning.
But this is going to make that corpse become someone else...
instead of Ma Ji Won.
They killed her thinking she was my aunt?
Who did it?
Someone who wishes your aunt to be dead and gone.
So I'm asking you who that is.
Was it Jang Cheol Min?
He has an alibi.
Then it must be his accomplice again.
Listen to me carefully.
They killed Ma Ji Won thinking that she was your aunt.
That means the only person left is Ma Ji Won.
Are you following me?
If...
they find out that your aunt isn't Ma Ji Won,
she'll end up dying without anyone knowing.
But...
my aunt trusts Jang Cheol Min.
Tell her to wait and not do anything rash.
And the same goes for you.
Keep that in mind.
Murdering people...
is a piece of cake for them.
(Daejeon Dongbu Police Station)
Hey! Wait!
My gosh.
Unbelievable.
What should we do? I couldn't find anything special at the site.
I found this in her luggage bag.
I want you to have a look.
Okay.
(Law Firm)
So you're saying Ms. Ma wants someone else...
to be his guardian instead of herself, right?
Yes, that's right.
Has that person agreed to it?
Not yet.
But that won't be a problem.
Then call me once it's settled.
Can you call me a bit later?
It's past midnight over here.
Okay, I'll call you later.
You should first get that person's consent...
and visit with that person one more time.
Come here.
Woo Joon.
Get over here.
Hey, come here. Min Seo.
Hey.
I caught you.
Mom.
Why are you going to work on a Sunday?
I have so much work to do.
Why all of a sudden? Dad normally does all the work.
Well...
I'll be working instead for a while.
Is it true that you and Dad are getting a divorce?
Did he say that to you?
It's not true, right?
Something happened.
What happened?
You won't be able to understand even if I tell you.
Instead, you'll be living with me.
No.
Min Seo.
I'm going to decide whom I'm going to live with.
Do you want to live with your dad?
I don't want to live with him either.
I'm going to live by myself. I'm going to live all by myself.
Min Seo.
He'll probably say he would rather live alone.
And I'm not the person that Woo Joon needs.
Ms. Ma?
Ms. Ma.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry.
My mind wandered for a bit.
I don't deserve to be Woo Joon's guardian.
You're more than qualified.
Did you forget that I'm a gangster?
I'm not Ma Ji Won.
And who knows when the police...
might suddenly come for me?
Please do me a favour.
You're the one who should take care of Woo Joon,
not me.
And I'm sure Woo Joon won't decline...
if he hears that he'll be living with you.
Okay.
But let's ask Woo Joon first.
I'd love to.
- Really? - Of course.
I won't have to study if I live with you.
You'll have to study hard.
Okay, I'll study hard.
Woo Joon.
You can be honest with me.
I'll tell Ms. Ma how you really feel.
I don't like that woman.
Woo Joon.
I'm serious. I don't want to live with her.
I want to live with you.
I can do that, right?
It was so loud. I couldn't even sleep.
(Episode 26)
Ma'am, have you heard of alternative rock?
Chief Jo, here's the thing.
It was really uncomfortable at the hospital,
so I got discharged early to take some rest.
I can't get any rest because it's so noisy.
It's not noise. It's alternative rock.
That's how it sounds to you.
It's noise to your neighbor.
A priest sees people at their best.
A lawyer sees people at their worst.
What?
Best people see others as the same,
while pigs only see pigs.
Excuse me.
Are you saying...
- that she's a pig? - I know.
You're absolutely preposterous.
- Let go. - Calm down.
No way.
New Trolls is the legend of alternative rock.
How can you call that noise?
What the heck?
Is this comedy from the 80s?
Stop rolling your tongue like that.
Anyway, if it's too noisy, you should plug your ears.
Hey, hey, hey.
Isn't it easier if you use headphones?
Why should I? Why?
You listen to music in the air.
If you use headphones, it becomes too noisy.
That's noise.
- Oh, gosh. - Hey, come on.
Goodness.
Where did that punk come from?
He went to Berklee College of Music.
"Berkle" what?
It's this school known for music.
I'm so mad.
What are you drinking by yourself?
I have yours too.
Thank you.
Ms. Ma.
I was about to call you.
Come to the police station with me next week.
What for?
It's not like that this time.
Because of the Do Ja Yeon incident,
The station chief wants to award you a plaque of appreciation.
Not everybody gets it.
I said he has to give you the award.
I highly recommended you.
I'm sorry, Chief Jo.
I have an important story to cover, so I won't be home for a while.
You're turning me down again.
And Constable Bae.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
Why did she thank you?
There's a secret between us.
I asked Mal Goo to take care of Woo Joon.
Woo Joon was happy about it.
I put my house up for sale.
It'll take some time for me to move out.
You can stay here until then.
It's up to you.
Actually, Auntie.
(Daejeon)
I went to Daejeon.
Hello?
Who is it?
- Eun Ji. - Is it Cheol Min?
Give it back.
Do you not believe it or don't you want to?
I said to give it back.
Today, that woman...
That woman...
(Daejeon)
They killed Ma Ji Won thinking that she was your aunt.
(Daejeon)
Who was it?
I think they had the wrong number.
Send two million dollars by the end of this week.
I sent you that much last month.
So? Are you saying no?
I can't do it this week,
but I'll send it by next month.
This week, Cheol Min. This week.
Don't forget...
how you got away from that woman.
And who you have to thank...
for everything you achieved at work.
(Fingerprint Report)
(Fingerprint on the toothbrush is a match.)
There were a few fingerprints on the toothbrush.
It was that crazy woman.
What about the DNA?
I asked them to expedite it,
but you don't use somebody else's toothbrush.
Let's report it when the DNA results get released.
Isn't a fingerprint good enough?
Let's just report it and conclude the case.
I'm saying we should be certain.
And I sent a letter asking for cooperation,
so go to the Public Prosecutors' Office...
and get a copy of Jang Min Seo's case.
Get every picture taken from the scene.
What do you need that for?
Do as I tell you.
Who is it?
Keep that in mind. Murdering people...
is a piece of cake for them.
Eun Ji.
- Never mind. - Give it back.
I have a favour to ask of you.
If you trust me at least a little,
you should stay as Ma Ji Won for the time being.
Until you leave this house.
Don't leave me alone. Stay with me, okay?
I'm scared and exhausted.
What...
happened in Daejeon?
Tell me.
What happened?
Not now.
You'll realize later on...
why I'm doing this.
We have to watch Woo Joon...
and make sure he does fine at Mal Goo's.
So stay with me until then.
Don't call your husband or anybody else. Okay?
Please.
(Grade 4 Maths)
Can we...
look at the answers and solve this?
Only my teacher has the answers.
I'll think about this.
Go read a book for Mr. Jang.
"The lumberjack told the sky,"
"and his wife and children came to him."
"Father... How did you get here?"
"The lumberjack hugged his wife and children..."
"and shed tears of joy."
Mr. Jang, are you all right?
Can you give me some time to rest?
Are you very ill?
Yes, it's almost time for me to die.
By the way,
what happens to people after they die?
They will probably go to heaven.
Who lives in heaven then?
I'm not sure.
Just like you said, there should be people who went there first.
(Daejeon)
(Ko Mal Goo)
Hello?
What? You can't find Woo Joon?
Have you found him?
No. I've looked everywhere around here.
- Have you called the police? - I have.
He's not around the center building.
Have you tried calling him?
He's not answering.
Did something happen in the house?
Well, actually...
I shouldn't have said those things.
Did he say he was going somewhere, by any chance?
I'm not sure.
I don't think he said anything like that.
Are you okay?
Eun Ji called me.
Where did he go at such a late hour?
This is what we're going to do. Mal Goo, check his orphanage.
He could've gone back there.
Eun Ji, you should...
Don't worry.
I'm sure Woo Joon is fine.
Okay. Yes.
I'll go to his mom's charnel house and see if he's there.
I'll take a look around the village again.
I will also report it to the police station too.
He might have gone to the city.
Then I'll look for him around his school.
You should stay at home.
He might have gone there.
He wouldn't have.
That's right. I'll go to his friend's house.
His friend?
I'm sorry. Woo Joon isn't here.
Is there a place that he often goes these days?
You're his close friend.
Actually, I'm not close with Woo Joon.
He came to your house to study with you.
That's only because he insisted that he wanted to come.
He did?
I was actually going to tell you.
Woo Joon came here that day...
probably because he wanted to see you.
He must've thought that you'd come to play the mafia game.
I came here because I heard that Woo Joon was coming.
Ms. Hong told me, and...
Don't tell me...
I asked Ms. Hong to tell you that.
It's also something that Woo Joon asked me to do.
Oh, right.
He said he would die at the place where his mom died someday.
But that's a lie, right?
Right, Mom?
Woo Joon!
Hello?
Hello? Is anyone there?
Woo Joon!
Woo Joon.
Woo Joon! What were you thinking?
- That brat. - Wait, Mal Goo.
I've been looking for you everywhere!
Woo Joon!
I miss my mom,
but I was...
I was too scared to die.
Yes.
I miss Min Seo as well,
but I was too scared to die.
Min Seo is the name of my daughter who died.
Actually,
I'm looking for the person who killed her.
That's why I came to this place, and why I'm leaving.
Don't leave.
Also, I'm a liar.
I'm not a writer.
I became friends with your mother...
and got close to the people at the library,
but it wasn't because I wanted to.
But my affection towards you...
has never been a lie.
Really?
If I ask you to live with me after telling you all this,
will you say yes?
Auntie.
He has just fallen asleep.
I think he needs me by his side now.
I do too.
I also need...
someone who will stay by my side.
You should go back now. I can go by myself.
If that's what you want.
What is it?
Where should I go when the school finishes?
You should come home, of course.
Our home.
I'll see you later.
I'm going to the library. Do you want to come?
The library?
Ms. Hong wants to see me.
Why don't you head there first?
I'll join you there after running a few errands.
Darn it.
Did you find out who Jang Cheol Min's accomplice is?
- Almost. - Who is it?
I'll tell you later. I haven't found any evidence yet.
Why are you here then?
I came to see your aunt.
Why?
I want to ask her a few things to see if there's anything...
about her case that I missed.
More importantly, I want to apologize to her.
Apologize for what?
Are you going to say you're sorry...
for locking her up in prison for nine years when she was innocent?
You should do that after you find the culprit...
and have him or her locked up.
Don't you think so?
You're right. I guess I didn't think it through.
We don't have time.
Once she finds out that Ma Ji Won got murdered instead of her,
she'll try to find out who the murderer is.
And if Jang Cheol Min finds out that my aunt's still alive,
she'll no longer be safe.
I'm trying to delay announcing the case for now.
- You should also be careful... - Don't worry about me.
Instead, the next time you come, you better bring evidence...
to prove that Jang Cheol Min kidnapped and killed the kid.
And also bring evidence regarding who his accomplice is.
Don't even think about calling me...
or coming over here without any of that.
The very act of you coming here...
could put my aunt's life in danger.
Do you understand?
Did you bring what I asked you to?
Must you look at it?
Yes.
Eun Ji, it's more brutal and horrible than you think.
Why do you keep insisting on seeing it?
It's regarding my sister's death.
It's not because I want to see it.
It's because I have to.
(Crime scene photos)
I'll never forget you,
Soo Ji.
Eun Ji.
Hey, Eun Ji.
Soo Ji.
I'll...
never cry.
