Yes, this is Detective Shin Ho Bang of Mapo Police Station.
You put up the banner in Chungho, right?
The banner in Chungho?
Yes, that's right. Yes.
I have some information to give to you.
Did you happen to witness the accident at the front of the school 12 years ago?
Hello?
Hello? I'm listening.
The murder that took place inside the school...
12 years ago, on the day that the car accident took place?
That's right. Please go ahead.
I want to give you some information...
regarding that murder case.
Um, yes. What would you like to tell us?
The student who was murdered
went to the school that night to meet a teacher on that night.
A teacher? Which... which teacher was it?
Hello?
I think it'd be best for us to speak in person, Detective.
Yes... yes, I'd love to. When... when should we meet up?
This person seems to know who the real culprit is.
I think we'll be able to clear your name, Hae Sung!
He went to school to meet with a teacher?
Ho Bang, doesn't this mean that the teacher
who Yang Kyung Chul met with that night could be the culprit?
Yeah, that's possible. That's very possible.
Judging from the caller ID, I think he called me from a payphone.
Let's wait until he calls us again.
Hae Sung.
Is it possible that Young Joon isn't the culprit?
The chairman's chauffeur wasn't the one driving that night?
Yeah.
After getting the tip, Ho Bang put up the banner in case something turned up.
And then he unexpectedly received a call like that.
That's great!
I hope we can find out who the real murderer is soon.
This... is a good thing, right?
Um, yeah.
At any rate, don't worry too much because everything will be fine.
All right.
Do you smell corn?
Ho Bang must have boiled the corn.
Let's head back inside.
[Cha Pasta Food Truck]
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm sorry. We're not ready to open yet.
I'm sorry to bother you when you're busy.
We're from Chungho Department Store.
I'm the head of event-planning from the Planning Division at Chungho.
This is Tae Hoon's department store.
What can we help you with?
We're planning an event to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the store.
Yes, and we're having a street food cook-off.
And just as it sounds, we want to get all the street food vendors in one spot
and invite our guests to come.
The profits will go to an institution for children, so it's for a good cause.
We'd be honored if Cha Pasta could participate.
Yes, please.
We're not interested.
Um, sir!
By any chance, will the chairman be attending this event?
Of course. It's quite a large event, so he will be there, too.
Please participate in our event.
So the chairman will be there for sure, right?
- I'll bring it up with him again. - Okay.
Thank you.
Did those people leave?
Yes, they did leave, but...
Boss.
Let's take part in the event at Chungho Department Store.
I'm not doing it.
Why not?
It'd be a great way to promote ourselves.
The person who withdrew their investment from my restaurant
and caused me to lose my business...
works at the department store.
Oh, really?
And who was that?
Chairman Cha Kwon Pyo.
Sorry?
He's my father.
What?
Your father?
He's my father, and he abandoned me when I was young.
That's just how it is, is all.
How could this be?
I wonder if you'd know?
But his son attended the same school as Ms. Jung Won.
His name is Cha Tae Hoon.
Yes.
I know him.
So you do know him, huh?
At any rate, that's how it is.
So how could I participate in the department store's event?
Yes... that's true.
I'll go, and start getting ready to open.
He's Tae Hoon's brother?
He's the son of Chairman Cha?
Let's open up shop.
All right.
Boss.
This is a bit shocking.
And I know it'll be hard for you to do this
but that's exactly why you should go to the department store's event.
We have to show him that he can't bring you down, even if he tries.
That's how you can get your revenge.
Let's show him that we won't go down no matter how much he tramples us.
Please?
Let's do it, Boss! Please?
Attention!
Wow, be careful not to rip your mouth open with that yawn.
You're not supposed to make it obvious that you worked through the night.
Go straight home, and get some sleep.
Yes, sir.
Goodbye.
Thank you for your hard work!
Hello, this is Detective Shin Ho Bang of Mapo Police Station.
I'm the person who called you last time
in regards to the murder at Chungho High School.
Yes, yes, go ahead.
Could I meet with you at the police station?
Oh, of course! Of course.
Is it possible for you to come now?
Detective Shin Ho Bang.
Thank you so much for coming here.
I guess I should start by telling you who I am first.
I am the older brother of Yang Kyung Chul, who died
in the art room of Chungho High School 12 years ago.
I see.
I also attended the same school as Kyung Chul.
Kyung Chul transferred into our school when he was a senior.
Oh... really?
I see.
What happened to him was truly a tragedy.
Yes.
I know that this case was closed a long time ago.
But when I saw the banner saying you were looking for a witness to the car accident
I remembered the events of that day 12 years ago.
You said that Kyung Chul left after receiving a call from his teacher.
Did you know who the teacher was, by any chance?
It was the art teacher.
The art teacher?
Our father was ill, so we always ate dinner at a specific time.
We were just about to have dinner at 7:30
but Kyung Chul got a phone call
and then he said he was heading out, without eating dinner.
Are you sure that he said it was the art teacher?
Yes.
He said it was weird.
And he wondered why the art teacher wanted to see him
when they didn't even know each other.
That's what he said before he left.
By any chance, would you happen to know the teacher's name?
No, I don't.
Did you tell all of this to the police back when the incident occurred?
I was such a mess when my brother died, so I didn't get a chance to tell them.
And the day after his death
the culprit was revealed to be a a student from the same school
But I heard that student got what he deserved, and died in a car accident.
So the case was wrapped up immediately.
That's right.
But then I saw that you were looking for a witness of the car accident
which made me wonder what was going on.
The police said that...
the estimated time of Kyung Chul's death was between 8 and 9 p.m.
But Kyung Chul left home at 7:30pm.
And it takes 20 minutes to reach the school from our house by foot.
He definitely left the house after the art teacher called him
but the culprit turned out to be a student.
And I found that quite strange.
I see.
[Yang Kyung Chul's art teacher (No name)]
[Left home after receiving call. Arrived to school at 7:50 p.m.]
The art teacher?
Hey, Jung Won. You were in our school's art club, right?
Show me the art teacher.
There were only two art teachers at our school at the time.
Ms. Woo Mi Jin and Ms. Hyun Kyung Eun.
[Art teacher - Woo Mi Jin, Hyun Kyung Eun]
Why do you think an art teacher asked Yang Kyung Chul to meet her, though?
I'd never once seen Yang Kyung Chul in the art room.
Why do you think Yang Kyung Chul went to the art room?
Simply put, she was an art teacher
so she could've asked to see him in the art room out of habit.
Yeah, that's right.
It's not that Yang Kyung Chul randomly went to the art room.
But he was called over there.
Yeah, I think you're right about that.
Why do you think the art teacher asked to meet with Yang Kyung Chul, then?
Which one of the two teachers do you think called him?
Ms. Woo Mi Jin!
You're Ms. Woo Mi Jin, correct?
Yes.
Yang Kyung Chul?
Yes. You knew him right?
I do. Why?
I was told that you were in charge of the art room at the time.
Is that correct?
Yes, so what?
Did you know Yang Kyung Chul?
Detective!
I didn't know that student at all!
But you just said you knew him...
I meant that I only know his name since he died in the art room!
Oh. Well, please calm down a bit first, ma'am.
Did you call Yang Kyung Chul on that night, by any chance?
Because of that incident, I started suffering from insomnia
and I had to receive treatment for a long time.
If you want to ask me anything else, send me an official summons request.
I'll come with an attorney.
Raise it up a bit more.
Geez, you still can't get this down?
CEO Do.
Thank you.
Truly, thank you for buying my work for such a high price.
Mr. Kim.
I have a great eye for these things, okay?
I'm just buying these ahead of time since your paintings are so great.
You don't need to thank me for anything.
The fact that my work has your approval makes me happier than anything else.
Paint many more great paintings, Mr. Kim.
I want to hurry and see more.
What's this?
Why isn't anyone here?
Granny!
Oh my, look how empty it is.
I guess your grand opening rush is over now.
Your popularity was short-lived.
Has it been like this all day?
Ugh, what a waste of my truck.
We should at least give them some business.
You want oil pasta, right, Ms. Kang?
Tomato pasta.
Make us one cream pasta and one tomato pasta.
We're out of ingredients, so we're closing down for the day.
What? You're out of ingredients?
Yes.
We're sold out for the day, so we can't cook anything else.
Then you should've prepped plenty of ingredients!
Goodness, how are you going to run a business with that level of intelligence?
We know that already, too.
But the kitchen is small, so we can't do that.
What's this? He keeps talking back to me!
Wait a second.
What's that dog?
Did you pay for that design?
Wow, what a waste of money.
I could draw something like that with my foot.
Oh my gosh, you startled me!
You should've said something if you're here!
I'm the one who drew this dog, Granny.
What? You did, Jung Won?
Oh... geez. What a shame.
You did a terrible job drawing it.
It's a good thing you decided to pursue cooking instead of drawing.
I'm going to pursue drawing, though.
No. Don't do it.
You'll definitely starve to death if you do.
Oh, come on, Granny!
Pardon me, Granny.
But do you even know anything about art?
Geez, that dog drawing is really sub-par.
Be honest with me, you two.
You only used that drawing as a favor to her since you know her, right?
What?
- No, it's not like that. - No, it's not like that.
You don't even know anything about art, though!
Want to know if I do or not?
Yes.
How about you and I meet on our own?
Sure.
All right, let's do that, then.
All right.
Use this or not, I don't care.
I have to get to work, so I'd better go.
Bye.
Wow. Wait, what's that?
- Oh. - Are these dogs again?
These are all a mess, too.
Get rid of that dog drawing!
Why does my nose always itch when I'm washing dishes?
Why do I have this niggling feeling inside of my head?
It definitely feels like I've forgotten something.
Gosh, I can't shake off this feeling!
What could it be?
Oh yeah! Ugh!
Oh no, what do I do? I only have an hour left!
What do I do?
Ugh, this won't do.
Hurry up and get changed. You have to come with me.
Huh?
You're going out this late at night?
I'll tell you on the way, so just hurry and get changed!
- Turn around. - Oh yeah.
Where's Ho Bang?
He'll be home late tonight.
We don't have much time, so throw whatever on.
"Whatever" What do you mean, exactly?
You mean like this?
Yeah, let's go.
Hey!
Hurry up and put it on! Ugh!
You said "just wear whatever".
Hurry up and put it on!
By the way, where are we going?
Are you done getting dressed?
Yeah.
- Let's go. We have no time. - Wait.
- Let me button this, at least. - Do it on the way!
Wait, what are you two doing here at this hour?
We don't have time, Boss! Hurry and sit down!
Whoa, what is this?
Two minutes left!
We barely managed to get this.
Oh, one moment.
Ready, go!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear Boss! Happy birthday to you!
- Whoo! - Whoo!
Wow!
Oh, what a relief.
We didn't forget about your birthday, Boss.
That was a close one.
Thanks so much. Is it okay for me to cry?
You've developed a better sense of humor since you started selling street food.
I think I'm well-suited for selling street food.
Here! Happy birthday!
Am I supposed to down this in a single drink?
Of course you are.
Okay.
Wow, Boss!
- I don't know about that one. - Oh.
- Ugh! - No!
Wow, look at that.
Mister Hae Sung.
All right.
- Oh, you scared me. - Geez.
- Here it comes. - All right.
One, two, three!
I can't believe you literally fell over.
Did you see that, Mister Hae Sung?
Oh, wow.
Ah! Oh no!
You went easy on your cousin.
One, two...
Wow, you went flying, too, Mister Hae Sung!
Boss!
Oh, wow!
Wow, I can't believe this!
I heard that a lot of longhorn beetles have appeared somewhere in Seoul.
You're scared of bugs, right, Ms. Jung Won?
I don't like cicadas.
The fact that they molt is scary to me.
But why do you think cicadas are called cicadas?
- Now! - 1 minute and 7 seconds!
- 59 seconds! - 54 seconds!
All right. One, two, three!
55 seconds!
All right, my guess was the closest!
Right? Here, look! Look!
All right.
All right, I'm starting it up again.
Ready, go!
Have you always enjoyed playing these kinds of games?
We are playing along with you since it's your birthday and all
but how long are we going to play these kinds of games?
Does this game actually even exist?
Yeah, I just came up with it myself.
I'm having so much fun right now.
To be honest, I've always wanted to walk around like this
while talking with my friends late at night.
Let's hang out just until the sun comes up, okay?
- What? Until the sun comes up? - What? Until the sun comes up?
Now!
I'm going to start this over now, then.
I'll do it this time.
Are we really staying out all night?
The boss looked so happy, though, so I'm glad that we went.
But to be honest, it was so tiring and painful.
Yeah, I know.
I'm glad we celebrated his birthday with him.
I had no idea he'd be that happy about it.
So why is it that...
I feel so guilty?
I feel the same way.
Are you thinking the same thing that I'm thinking, by any chance?
I think so.
Tell me what you're thinking, then.
No, you go first.
I think that...
what we're doing to the boss is wrong.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Right?
I think we need to tell him that...
we're not cousins, but friends.
I think that would be best, too.
But, will you be okay?
It's fine. I can trust him.
All right.
Yeah.
Then I'll go ahead and explain the situation to him first tomorrow.
That'd be best, right?
Sure. You said you left your wallet at his place, right?
You can tell him when you go to pick it up tomorrow.
All right.
It really hurts.
Are you laughing?
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm just drying my sneakers.
I'm off.
Ho Bang.
Detective Shin?
I'll go see Ms. Woo Mi Jin after work today.
She may say harsh things to you so prepare yourself before you go, Jung Won.
Don't worry.
Bye.
Those two... are friends?
Granny knows nothing about art, so why did she tell me to bring my drawings?
She's so ridiculous.
Maybe I'd believe her if she were talking about potatoes or corn.
Oh, I need to call the boss.
Hello?
Boss! Do you have time to talk?
I'm driving right now. But yeah, what is it?
I'll keep it short, then.
I need to tell you something, so is it okay if I come see you?
Sorry, but I'm on my way somewhere right now.
Oh, really?
When would be a good time for you, then?
Um, is it okay if I call you back later?
Sure, I'll wait for your call, then.
Bye.
Attention!
Oh my.
Hello!
Hello.
What brings you here out of the blue?
I was in the area, so I stopped by since I wanted to ask you something.
Oh, I see.
What were you curious about?
You know the hairpin that I gave you last time?
Yes.
I wanted to know if you gave it to the victim's family.
Yes, of course. I handed it over to them.
Wow, I bet eating in an open space like this would make the food taste great!
I see.
Why are you suddenly asking me that question?
Oh, no. I was just curious about what happened to it.
I'm sure you were.
You were able to return it after 12 years, after all.
Yes.
Apparently, her boyfriend died because of her when she was in high school
so she shut everyone out.
Oh, my friend gave it to me back in high school.
The student who died on that night...
was Jung Jung Won's boyfriend, wasn't he?
