Who is this bastard?
CAMELLIA
What now?
How do I catch this son of a bitch?
Dongbaek!
Where were you? You didn't even answer your phone.
-Yong-sik. -What is it?
What's wrong? What's the matter?
I hate my mom. I hate my mom so much.
Do you really think my mom came to ask me for that?
What kind of a mother is she?
She's so annoying.
Here.
This isn't what revenge is.
How can it only be hurting me instead?
Getting revenge should be satisfying for you.
Why are you feeling terrible about it?
Asking you for a kidney after abandoning you?
You can't call that a mother.
Actually, you can't even call that a human being.
How messed up is that?
Yong-sik,
are you cursing my mom right now?
Gosh.
Dongbaek.
It's impossible for you, Dongbaek.
What?
You...
I mean,
you have a system that's far simpler and more innocent
than others,
so it's impossible for you to hate people.
Be more cutthroat in your next life
and just live as you are now in this current one.
All right. So where's this barbecue restaurant?
I hate my mom.
Gosh.
Her mother left the restaurant soon after.
He got her registration number from the hospital.
He has to find Hyang-mi.
He has to find Dongbaek's mom.
He has to catch Joker as well.
He doesn't have it easy, does he?
Jeez. He got pepper-sprayed, stabbed,
and took out a fire with his bare hands.
I think it's safe to call him Thanos of Ongsan.
All right, let's review the situation.
Well...
Hyang-mi went missing
and so did Dongbaek's mom.
That means Dongbaek is all alone day and night.
Actually, she has Pil-gu.
Pil-gu doesn't technically count as one person.
He's more like half a person.
This won't do.
My mom isn't around so we ordered in.
I'll call once we've eaten.
In-gu, are you still stealing money from vending machines?
I'm done with that, you know.
Wait, what's with that face? Is it true?
-Yes, of course. -Really?
Yes, really.
Is that so?
Then since I'm proud of you...
Bring me some chicken, too.
Jeez.
Oh, gosh.
My gosh, Dongbaek.
Are you on a stakeout?
How did you know I was here?
How did you know I ordered chicken?
We ordered in. I'll call once we've eaten.
Right, enjoy your chicken then.
Sure.
I thought you'd be hungry, but I see you ate.
Right.
I never skip meals even when I have enteritis.
Food is your source of energy.
Here.
Why do you keep giving me candy? I've already had enough.
Eating this elevates your mood.
I thought it could give you energy.
Nothing's bringing me down, you know.
I even enjoyed some fried chicken.
I had an appetite for it even after leaving my mom behind.
It doesn't make you a bad person.
That's just life.
Life isn't a soap opera, you know.
We can't stay in bed for days whenever something happens.
That's why I'm grateful.
I would've stayed in bed for days had I been alone.
Thanks to you, I keep on living my life.
You know how sometimes
you run on a secondary battery.
I still want to make sure my son is fed,
the fried chicken is tasty,
and I worry about whether you've had dinner.
Anyway, Pil-gu comes first, then the fried chicken,
and then it's me
who gives you the energy to live.
Dongbaek, I'm sure your mom
has eaten dinner too,
so don't worry.
No,
she wouldn't have.
There's no way.
It's what I learned as a mom.
The love you have for your children can be terrifying.
The parents get their lives sucked out of them
while the kids still manage
to eat a bowl of soup at a parent's funeral.
How much will you sell this for?
I'm not selling anything. There's barely enough for Yong-sik.
Even in Chinese, "Mama" is the word for mom.
Mom, mama...
Aren't they all similar?
It must be some sort of incantation.
I wonder if she froze the beef bone soup.
I guess that incantation makes us live only as mothers
instead of just as Deok-sun, Jeong-suk, and Dongbaek.
We become fools when we're called "Mom."
After devoting ourselves to our children, we still want to do more.
This one boy of mine is scarier than millions of haters.
No alumnus has ever showed this much support before.
These kids are a lucky bunch.
So in my opinion, I recommend Cha Seung-u in sixth grade,
Kwon Jun-hyeong in fifth grade, and Yun Ji-hyeok in third grade.
Must you only choose from those in the upper grades?
Well, they've been showing a lot of promise.
They're passionate, and have well-off parents.
Why should I help someone study abroad if they're already well-off?
You're absolutely right.
How about Hong Ji-dam in fifth grade?
Never mind.
I choose Kang Pil-gu, the first grader.
Pil-gu?
I will personally support Kang Pil-gu.
Pil-gu's not a good choice, I'm afraid.
What do you mean?
I think the kid's a natural.
It doesn't matter if he's good. He won't go.
He wouldn't even go to training sessions because of his mom,
so studying abroad is out of the question.
Just choose Pil-gu.
For some reason,
you seem really interested in him.
He's my student.
I'm the one who discovered him,
so I'll train him well myself.
I'm Pil-gu's father.
What?
I'm Pil-gu's biological father.
I'm putting on this show to provide him with a good education,
so be a good man and coach, and help me out.
I will make sure he makes it
to the Major League.
So I've been training the future Lion King?
I'm not a kid, you know.
This won't score you any points.
You think playing games would make me forget everything?
No way.
You know,
being with you makes me want to see my father.
And stop coming to our school.
Kids are saying that you've been fired from the Ligers.
Why do you hate me so much?
Give me one good reason.
How can I only pick one?
Yes, that's honest. That's very honest of you.
That look right there.
I used to glare at my dad just like that.
You'll regret it someday.
I bet your father still raised you, though.
Why are you always so logical?
How can you tell me to say just one thing?
You're so shameless.
Fine, then tell me everything.
I hate that you're on the Superman show.
That will be over soon.
You're with someone who's always in tights.
Leave the grown-ups' business to us.
You have a baby who poops her pants, so what are you pestering me for?
That pooping girl is your sister.
Also, why haven't you
apologized to me?
What?
Even when I'm sick,
Mom always apologizes
while making me pork cutlets.
However, you haven't. Not even once.
I really didn't know.
If I had known about you, I would've been in your life.
We're given a one-minute time-out if we don't do our homework
and a five-minute time-out if we say we didn't know about it.
Then what should I do?
Do you want me to sit in the corner for 100 minutes?
A crime scene always tells us something.
The person who called for your cleaning services.
That person must be the landlord.
Gyu-tae probably knows him.
They were pretty close. They hung out together often.
When you go from here, you see this window open.
But when you go in the other direction, it's closed.
ONGSAN TRANSPORTATION
Even serial killer Jeong Nam-gyu showed up at his old crime scenes.
He coped during his hiatus by reminiscing his killings.
Those who stink are prime suspects.
Don't dig into Hanbit Academy.
It'll cause a mess in Ongsan.
A crime scene always tells us something.
Come to my store tomorrow.
Let me get a consultation about the statute of limitations first.
Then I'll decide whether to tell you about it or not.
The person who runs away is the suspicious one.
A crime scene always tells us something.
It could be laughing at me for not figuring it out already.
Every case is affected by current social conditions.
Consider the Ongsan golden radishes.
It's 7,000 won for a bundle. Might as well call them golden radishes.
The radishes are super pricey,
so of course there's a security camera near the field.
And there...
Hold on a second.
Actually,
I was wondering if I could check your security camera footage.
Yong-sik!
-What's with him? -Yong-sik!
Yong-sik!
Is that your name?
Yes, I'm Hwang Yong-sik of Ongsan Substation.
Anyway,
it's the footage from the 24th--
Yong-sik, we think that
there's a reason to everything that happens in this world.
Sorry?
If you consider everything that happens
as a result of something else,
it all seems reasonable.
You see, I learned that from my dog.
Yeong-sim.
Go to Yeong-sim's garlic field.
Why should I care if a dog is giving birth?
That darn Yeong-sim.
Yeong-sim is determined to kill you because you never came around.
Stop it! I'm not going to Yeong-sim's.
Enough with Yeong-sim already!
Yeong-sim sent in a complaint.
She got irritable bowel syndrome due to stress.
What you sow is what you reap.
If you wish to see the camera footage,
you can bring a warrant.
So the dog...
What all started with the dog
came to bite me in the ass.
Divorce these days is just a life choice.
It's true that what goes around comes around.
I'm divorced myself.
Has my wife always been that cool?
Did she always laugh well?
A divorce attorney who is divorced herself.
Is that good for marketing?
If I go to jail,
-I won't be able to see that smile. -Doesn't it get lonely?
That's what I'm most afraid of.
I do get lonely. A lot.
However, I feel less lonely than I did when I was married.
It's more lonely to live with someone who's not really there.
Then...
My eldest aunt has a son
who is also divorced.
He has no kids and is an accountant.
Maybe you two could...
Honey, I need a consultation.
Yes, I'm just... You see...
-Sorry? -Why ask me where that woman is?
That woman?
Is she pretending to be in hiding now?
Did she tell you to call me?
Didn't you say she's your mother, though?
Yes, so please tell that dear mother to stop putting on a show.
I will visit her in a few days with a certification of facts.
A certification of what?
Hello?
What...
What has Mom been up to in her life?
-Dongbaek. -Hello.
Will you be at the committee meeting today?
Is that today?
This is on our agenda today,
so just make sure to agree with it.
Sure.
Why? Do you feel awkward about coming?
Of course. The committee head is...
You know what? Meeting her often is the best way to bury the hatchet.
Seeing someone you dislike acting all shy and awkward
is even more annoying.
Is that how I seem to you?
Just come by and interact with her shamelessly.
It's hard to stay angry at those who do.
BAEKDU MARINATED CRAB
Mom.
You drank alcohol, didn't you?
You're injured. You shouldn't drink.
I was out in the field plucking radishes.
What radishes?
A certain Yeong-sim just had to make a point.
Gosh, is this a duck or an ostrich?
This has been boiled for days.
A few bowls will speed up your recovery.
What does duck meat have to do with skin regeneration?
When you had the mumps,
you recovered after eating duck meat.
You treat me so well
that I've never had to take a sick day.
Gosh, it kills me, you know.
You never got injured when I raised you.
Oh, please. I have five scars at the least.
Yong-sik,
would you have saved me too
if I were in the fire?
Gosh. Do you even need to ask?
Don't tell me you're jealous.
Let me say this clearly, then.
Don't ever save me from situations like that.
If you do, I'll kill you myself.
Seriously?
Don't save Dongbaek either!
Cut ties with her now. This is as far as you go.
Mom,
you liked Dongbaek.
No, you still do, right?
You like her as a friend but not as a daughter-in-law?
Have you always been this shallow?
Yes, I have.
Ask anyone on the street.
There's not a mother in this world who'd be fond of her son
running into fires and chasing a murderer.
I'm not asking for much, you know.
Mom,
I proposed to her.
Everyone's afraid of fires.
The heat was enough to scare me off as well.
Still, even if I go back in time,
I'd gladly run in to save Dongbaek again.
Even the fire couldn't scare me off.
It proves I'm meant to be with her.
People's feelings don't change that easily, do they?
The more you're like this,
the more I hate Dongbaek.
We're...
-Good. -Agreed.
The first item on our agenda is about the pineapples.
And the second...
So Dongbaek brought some jujube fruits today.
Let's move on.
Ma'am, is there anything you'd like to add?
The atmosphere is icy cold now that the two are on different sides.
Gosh.
Nowhere else in the world...
We are the businesswomen leading the Ongsan Market.
-Ongsan Leaders! -Ongsan Leaders!
Right, so who's against this?
-Not me. -Not me.
-Then... -You never know.
-What? -What?
A unanimous vote is out of the question again.
Dongbaek, do you even know what you're against?
You're only agreeing with what Deok-sun thinks.
Me?
She's quite political, isn't she?
Tell us then. Why are you against this?
-Well, I-- -Tell us.
She doesn't even know what we were talking about.
You were dozing off.
-Were you? -Only my eyes were closed.
-Unbelievable. -This isn't a school.
Enough with that lame excuse
and tell us why you're against this matter.
Well, you see, I...
Who needs a reason?
She raised her hand because I nudged her.
So what?
What?
That means you were able to cast two votes
which goes against the principle of democracy.
-Right? -Exactly!
Well, if you're that annoyed, get yourselves a best friend, too.
-What? -Seriously?
Dongbaek, you really know how to pick sides.
Just consider us two as a set.
You know, we're like...
That's enough. Just stop.
-We're like members of a girl group. -What?
Thelma and Louise?
-A politician and her right-hand person? -Come on.
More like a tyrant king and his concubine.
They're always like this.
You can all manage this by yourselves.
This old woman has no business in this.
You're the committee head. You can't leave!
Come back here!
Ms. Kwak, could you stop avoiding me?
I want to get on your good side.
Getting on my good side isn't important.
What's important right now?
I don't have much, and all I have is a kid.
I'm sure you aren't pleased with me, but--
No.
I hate this.
I hate it.
It breaks my heart to even think about Yong-sik bringing up
someone else's kid.
And I get heartbroken when he gets hurt following you around.
So can you just cut me a little slack?
But Ms. Kwak,
I like Yong-sik. I like him a lot.
I like him so much that I don't even know what to do.
He's such a warm guy, and I don't ever want to be alone again.
Yong-sik is a very warm and wholehearted kid.
That's how I brought him up.
I spent my entire life putting in
only pretty and good things in his eyes
while I looked at all the dirty things.
So why do you cast a shadow in my child's eyes?
Am I a shadow in Yong-sik's life?
Nothing in this world can make him stressed out if it wasn't for you.
There is no mother in this world who would be thrilled
to see her son who lives in peace date a girl
with such an unfortunate life only to spend his life working for her.
So you tried doing everything that these pathetic guys do
at least once.
As you know very well,
I like to be with people and I like mingling.
That's not mingling.
No.
Then the statute of limitations is...
Forget the statute of limitations.
Why are you trying to turn yourself in now?
I mean, it's...
Well...
I won't give you advice if you keep hesitating. Get out.
It's just that I have all these various reasons.
Get out.
She's gone.
Who?
You know.
Her.
Hyang-mi.
She suddenly disappeared overnight,
so she's causing trouble for many people.
Was the case reported?
Are the police investigating it?
The case? What case?
Do you know something?
BYEON BAE-SU
Chief Byeon, why did she suddenly bring it?
-Is this it? -No idea.
She drove her truck here and gave it to me.
What? My gosh.
Did she feel bad for making me work?
I don't know!
She just told me to tell you
to be a good son!
That's the only thing she said.
What? Ms. Park said that?
Yeong-sim.
It's me.
Baekdu. Kwak Deok-sun.
Did you make my son pull out your radishes?
Yes.
I see.
Okay. I understand your situation.
Anyway, do you drive?
Okay, in that case, make a recording of the security footage
and take it to the substation.
You made my son who's suffering from a burn
work all day under the sun.
When Yong-sik was slapped
by one of his seniors in the army,
I fried 300 chickens and brought it to his unit.
Deok-sun always has Yong-sik's back.
Me, Kwak Deok-sun.
If you mess with Yong-sik, I'll turn into a wild boar.
If you don't want your future to be completely ruined,
Yeong-sim,
find your car key right this second.
If you think about it, I'm the type that people just can't hate.
It was like that back when I was in school and in the army.
And look at Ms. Park too.
People just can't seem to hate me for a long time.
I guess I am
really likable.
Bullshit.
Hey.
Hey, look.
Doesn't that single headlight seem like a motorcycle?
It's too dark.
Wasn't that bit too fast?
That car is definitely speeding.
Why is that person speeding on a street like this?
Hey, can you see the license plate number?
I think
this is Kang Jong-ryeol's car.
What?
He drives a different car every now and then to show off.
But why is Jong-ryeol
going after Hyang-mi?
Why are you asking me about her?
Then where were you around 10 p.m.
on the night of the 24th?
Mr. Kang.
You were in Ongsan, right?
Did you just say the 24th?
What about the 24th?
Is she dead?
Why do you think she's dead?
My goodness. You're insane.
Did you just become a pig?
You're going make a huge fuss saying you have to lose all this weight.
Your dad will beat you to death if he catches you drinking.
My gosh.
Sang-mi.
Mom.
I want to shoot that ad for the water purifier.
You brat. The ad isn't what's important.
It is important.
I want to shoot that ad
and continue to live as Jong-ryeol's wife.
You're breaking my heart.
I want to stay in the spotlight.
I want to keep getting attention.
I want people to see that I live a great life.
Is that such a bad thing?
Am I really that guilty?
For whom?
Why do you care so much about what others think?
If people don't say that I'm pretty,
I don't feel pretty.
If people don't say they're jealous,
I feel like I'm
just a nobody.
It seems like Park Sang-mi is
nothing at all.
You and I are the same.
A girl who's dying for attention, a girl who was never loved.
But I can't let people find that out.
That's why...
Then her phone showed up in the middle of that lake.
What if something comes out from Ongsan Lake?
Then what am I going to do?
Gyu-tae.
October 24th...
The 24th.
I hit her with a car.
PARK SANG-MI
OCTOBER 24TH
Then where were you around 10 p.m.
on the night of the 24th?
Ja-yeong, what am I going to do?
Dead bodies don't rise to the surface
that easily.
Yes, please speak.
Can you report someone for murder
only with suspicion?
Why do I have the feeling that we have more than one suspect?
If Hyang-mi really died,
do you think
it was Joker's doing for sure?
Not everyone can kill a person.
There's a difference between wanting to kill someone
and actually killing them.
-Wait. -Yes?
-You little kid. -Come on, stop it.
-Is the dive team searching the lake? -Give them time.
Are you sure the lighter was clean?
Hey, if Joker was someone who would leave his fingerprints,
we would've caught him six years ago.
Wait.
What if
the stuff found on the helmet, the sweater,
and No Gyu-tae's steering wheel is really someone's blood,
and if it's
really Hyang-mi's blood of all people,
what are we going to do?
What's with him?
ONGSAN DISTRICT OFFICE
I'm here to turn myself in.
You fraud.
TAKE LUNCH MEDICINE
CALL HISTORY NONE
GALLERY
Why do moms love taking pictures of flowers?
HELP IS NEAR
What? Where?
I found out that the statute of limitations is five years.
That was June 29th, 2014, so...
Wait, June 29th, 2014?
That's the day when Joker killed Geum-ok.
What? Are you really Joker?
Hey, man. I told you that investigations aren't done like that.
To be honest,
I was there that day.
Why do you keep ordering food here?
It's not a place for you to eat.
I went out to the intersection and picked it up.
We have to eat something to do things.
JUNE 29TH, 2014
Don't dig into Hanbit Academy.
It'll cause a mess in Ongsan.
All right! I won!
Yes! My gosh!
-Yes! -Be quiet.
What are you doing?
I told you not to open the window.
HANBIT ACADEMY
I didn't see any kid going in there for a long time,
but the sign stayed up there for two years.
OK AESTHETIC
Darn it.
-Hey! Turn off the lights! -Turn off the lights!
-That idiot. -Darn it.
This is from 2012.
That's not what's important.
Why would there be a security camera at an academy?
If the police want to look at this, it'll be the end of everything.
You and I will get handcuffed then and there.
But I'm just a part-timer.
Sure, yes, good for you!
Hey, part-timer. Open it up.
The case broke out
on June 29th, 2014. Right?
This banner says they're starting classes for the 2012 college entrance exam.
HANBIT ACADEMY
But did people even go to this place?
They put up that banner in a hurry to cover something up.
You actually conducted a legit investigation.
Okay, now. Where's the director of that academy?
Where's that good friend of yours?
Chief, let's put him on the wanted criminal list.
You guys
already have him.
You can't force anyone
to quit gambling.
Based on the double jeopardy clause,
you will not get charged again with the same crime.
You don't say that in situations like this.
A witness is guaranteed a level of confidentiality.
Therefore, the information
provided to us by the witness will not be revealed to anyone.
Hey, will you stop talking nonsense?
Is he your friend?
They're detectives.
You brought detectives?
Hey, it's okay.
-Are they really detectives? -Calm down.
We were just wondering if you still have the security footage from back then.
We promise
that we won't disclose the source of the evidence.
Well...
It made me feel very uncomfortable as well.
I thought it was just a burglar.
I had no idea that someone got murdered that day.
What?
Then are you saying...
Yes, well...
I felt really uneasy about it.
So I couldn't delete
the footage of that day.
Gyu-tae, go to my wife's restaurant
and ask her for my laptop.
You'll find a movie folder
named "Whale Hunt."
That's
the footage.
MONKFISH'S MONKFISH
It's game over now.
Get ready for a promotion.
What did I tell you?
I won't give up until I catch him.
This is fun.
This is like Case Closed.
CAMERA 1
It's him! I got it!
This is our guy!
It's definitely him! I know it!
-But can you even recognize him? -This is more than enough.
We're lucky that we even have this footage of him.
With the footage we have, we can analyze his height,
physique, and the way he walks.
We'll be able to analyze everything.
What was the name of that show host?
Call Lee Su-jeong, the show host of Unanswered Questions.
We have to analyze this footage.
Hey, it's time for us to report this.
Let's report this first.
Wait. There's someone else.
-What? -What?
She told us that it's important for kids to grow up with flowers.
That's why she planted all these flowers.
And she was very kind to everyone who came here.
I've never seen anyone like Ms. Jo.
My mom isn't a good person.
But I guess she knew how her daughter was living.
A SHELTER FOR SINGLE MOTHERS
By the way, how did you meet my mom?
A sister from Ongsan recommended her to me
saying she's a great person.
Ongsan?
Ms. Jo used to do volunteer work at a preschool
that was run by the church,
and she cared for the kids like they were her own.
Did she work there
at the Saint Severus Preschool in 2014?
Do you know that place?
I really hate my mom.
Hey, Yong-sik.
There's something you need to see.
Why? Do you have another surprise for me?
I wouldn't be surprised even if my mom turns out to be an ex-convict.
You have the footage of the culprit?
Yes, but...
There were two people.
PAINTING
Do you need something?
You guys have everything.
There are tons of things you can kill people with.
You're Joker, aren't you?
Don't you remember me?
We met that night.
JUNE 29, 2014
Look at him. How cute.
Bye, Pil-gu. I'll see you after church.
He's so cute.
By the way, what did you say earlier?
Oh, I was saying that he really likes me.
Of course, he likes you. Everyone in the neighborhood likes you.
If he doesn't like me, why would he lend me his umbrella?
So just date him.
He's better than that singer you love. He can't lend you an umbrella.
Hey, don't you dare compare him to Kim Gun-mo.
I don't get why I always end up with jerks.
-Come on. -One, two, three.
Let's go.
Ms. Jo, your loved one is here.
Look at this.
Look at me. You even know how to pick that up?
Why do you love Pil-gu so much?
Where else would I ever get to meet an adorable kid like him?
I have a lousy life.
But thanks to you, my Sundays are like heaven.
My goodness, even your baby hair looks just like Dongbaek's.
Have you ever talked to your mom about me?
What do you think?
Do you think I could go and see her?
You're putting lipstick on. Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to meet my daughter.
The weather's so nice.
I really feel like I should meet her today.
Are you planning to go somewhere nice with your daughter today?
My daughter has a decent life.
She goes to get skincare treatment every Sunday.
My gosh.
Maybe it's because of Joker.
More and more people are coming to church.
It's because everyone's anxious.
OK AESTHETIC
HANBIT ACADEMY
Why am I so nervous?
Come on.
Do you collect coupons for this restaurant?
Yes, I collect them.
But why are my noodles so soggy?
What's with that person wearing a hat?
She's been standing there for a while.
Maybe she's too scared to come inside.
-Should I bring her here? -Hey, forget it.
There's no point in accepting cowards.
They just end up causing a fuss if they lose money.
I feel like you're talking to me.
LIKELY TO HAVE AN ACCOMPLICE
I thought there'd be an accomplice.
You recognize her, right?
It seems like she always stayed near you.
So what?
You think you saw me that day?
Why do you think it's me?
If you wear a jacket and a mask in midsummer,
do you think you become unrecognizable?
My throat's obviously dry because I feel guilty.
My goodness.
I'm sorry.
You walked past me on a humid day,
but I could still smell the lacquer.
They say mothers were created because God
can't always be everywhere.
All mothers
can instinctively recognize people who are going to harm their child.
OK AESTHETIC
Why is the music turned on so loud?
Excuse me, didn't you see a man go up?
-What? -There was a guy wearing a hat.
No one came.
We're closing early because no one's coming.
Maybe it's because of Joker. More and more people are coming to church.
OK AESTHETIC
No.
OK AESTHETIC
I heard the fire alarm go off along with the fire sprinkler.
And I think someone knocked on the door.
The fire sprinkler saved your life.
But that kind of coincidence never exists.
The cuckoo couldn't leave its baby in the nest.
Where do you think my mom is right now?
That means
you didn't see me.
It's just because of that smell.
I heard you have dementia.
You think I didn't see you?
Of course, I saw you.
You were wearing a mask and a hat.
But I definitely saw you.
Your eyes.
Your brutish eyes.
Are my eyes
really brutish?
You came to the bar,
and I knew the moment I smelled that horrible lacquer smell.
The moment I saw you put on a servile smile.
The moment I started to feel very uneasy.
That's when I knew it was you.
Heung-sik, you should eat before you go.
-Yes, you should. -Okay.
Why would she give him free food?
I have a bad feeling about him.
But
it's all just a hunch.
That means
you never saw anything.
Yes, I have no evidence.
So the cops won't be able to do anything.
But you see,
I know that it was you, and I have nothing to lose.
Even an animal can tell
who's going to harm its baby from miles away.
And mothers
will do anything
for their children.
Don't mess with her.
I can do anything for Dongbaek.
Anything.
Dongbaek, are you okay?
Why are you so quiet?
I'm just a little...
Do you feel upset?
No, I feel okay for some reason.
I know it's a little weird, but I kind of feel like I got promoted.
What?
I always felt embarrassed and intimidated
because I was an orphan.
It felt like even my mom didn't want to be with me.
But
my life feels less pathetic now.
I always thought of myself as an abandoned dog,
but it's as if I found a microchip in my body after 27 years.
Yong-sik.
I guess I really did have a mom.
Yes, I guess so.
Hiding isn't going to solve anything.
She's doing exactly what she did back then.
She disappeared right after she got diagnosed with that illness.
And that's when I knew how lowly she was.
What's wrong, Mom?
Legally speaking, I'm your daughter.
We're a family. That's why this was sent to my house.
You say I'm your mother,
but you didn't even let me come to your father's funeral.
Whatever.
You should at least try to have a conscience.
You used my dad's money to pay for this,
but your daughter's going to receive the money?
Do you think that's reasonable?
INSURANCE POLICY
I never received money from your father.
Where do you think she got her living expenses?
I'm pretty sure she always asked my dad for money.
While I was living with your father,
I worked as a cleaning lady to earn my own money.
None of your father's money was used to pay for this.
I did this for my daughter. I would never do anything so shameful.
I don't care. Let's just see what the law will say.
We're still a family by law.
Can't I...
Can't I even give my insurance money to my own daughter?
RECIPIENT: OH DONGBAEK
OH DONGBAEK
Do you have insurance?
Why do you want to know? Did you sell insurance?
I know this lady who used to sell socks.
And after her husband died,
she moved into an apartment with his insurance money.
Insurance money is the best. You get an apartment just like that.
What's the use? You'll be dead anyway.
I'm sure the old man was happy.
He was able to repay his wife that way.
For 27 years,
I was never able to buy food for my daughter. This is what that is.
I never once missed
a single payment for 20 years even if I had to starve.
I was a horrible mother,
so I want to give my daughter some money before I die.
Who are you to stop that?
Who do you think you are? You have no right to do this.
My mom didn't come to ask for a kidney.
She came to give me her insurance money.
-Dongbaek. -I heard she's sick.
You should talk to her if you don't want her to go to jail
for being a gold digger.
My uncle's a prosecutor. How dare she steal from my...
How dare you?
You crazy bitch!
How dare you
call her a gold digger?
She's my mom.
Don't you dare talk about her like that.
What do you want?
Did you follow me to kill me?
It's nice to have someone worry about me.
I like Dongbaek so much, and that's why it hurts.
I should let him know.
The criminal always comes back to the scene of the crime.
So you hit Hyang-mi.
A dead body of a woman in her 30s
was found in Ongsan Lake this afternoon
with a note by a serial killer from five years ago.
Come with us. You're the suspect of Choi Hyang-mi's murder.
Don't do anything from now on.
I think my friend left it there. I'll go pick it up.
Dongbaek never wrote down her phone number on her motorcycle.
