(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
You're going to tell us what happened that day?
Yes, I'll tell you everything.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I don't deserve to be thanked.
I'm really sorry.
No, I'm just grateful that you mustered up...
your courage...
What's wrong?
(School Security Officer Shin Dae Gil)
Hello?
The number cannot be reached. You'll be forwarded to voicemail.
You'll be charged a fee after the beep.
Is he not answering?
His phone is turned off.
What's going on?
Do you think he changed his mind perhaps?
I don't think so.
I heard something crashing into something.
Are you saying there was an accident?
I have a bad feeling about this.
(Funeral Home)
He's not even coming to his mother's funeral? That's so wrong.
I guess Shin Dae Gil hasn't done much good in his life.
I mean he was a cop once.
But look at the scant number of people coming to pay respect.
(Park Moo Jin)
Gosh, I'm so beat.
Yes?
What?
When?
Hold on a second.
- See if Shin Dae Gil is inside. - What's going on?
Hurry up!
Gosh.
I'm going to...
protect my son.
Your high school friend Seo Eun Joo is not here any longer.
I'm just Joon Seok's mother.
There is an exit in the back of the building.
I didn't think he'd leave in the middle of...
Contact the local police and ask to transfer the case to us.
Get Shin Dae Gil's phone record and file a warrant request.
Yes, sir.
- And the nearby CCTV footage? - Detective Gu's getting them.
Get on it.
This cannot be just a hit-and-run.
It happened right after he decided...
to tell the truth about Seon Ho's accident.
I don't think it's a simple hit-and-run either.
We found the truck the culprit had abandoned afterward.
It's a stolen truck.
- It was stolen? - Yes.
The fingerprints are wiped too.
It's a pre-conceived crime committed by a professional.
Like I told you on the phone...
we didn't see him leaving the funeral home either.
I'm guessing he was running away from someone.
Are you saying he's been followed?
Yes. We identified the car that's been tailing Mr. Shin.
We'll arrest the suspect as soon as we find him.
Have you searched Mr. Shin's apartment?
Seon Ho's diary and cell phone might be there.
We went to his apartment right after we heard about the accident.
But we didn't find anything.
He used to be a cop.
If he witnessed Seon Ho's accident...
and agreed to withhold the evidence...
he would have stashed the evidence somewhere somehow.
We'll find it, no matter what.
Mr. Park!
You can't react emotionally now.
I know who you're suspecting,
but we can't do anything without first getting evidence.
I'm so sick of hearing the word "evidence."
I promise we'll find it.
We'll get it for you.
Please give us time.
"Just wait." "There's no evidence."
"We'll find it."
Do you know how many times you have said that to us?
I know it's my fault.
If we hadn't been so complacent at first,
it wouldn't have gotten this bad.
I apologize.
Joon Seok.
Send him to the UK next week.
Next week?
We haven't even picked a school yet.
He can pick one after the move.
- Honey. - Will you leave him to...
wander the streets at night like yesterday?
He must leave before he gets too weak.
The change in atmosphere will calm him down.
But next week is too soon.
We must prepare the minimum at least.
Shin Dae Gil is dead.
He's left-handed. He picked up the phone with his left hand.
He's gutsy.
He did that knowing there are cameras.
What's that?
The caller's car?
The caller was a care home nurse,
and she called from the scene.
Run the plate number.
Okay.
Did you see the CCTV footage?
Is this it?
Let's talk later.
That lunatic. He's a psycho.
Oh Jin Pyo did this.
Be quiet.
This is his doing!
He has eyes and ears here.
A hit-and-run?
That's why I'm telling you. The police...
Was the driver arrested?
That's none of our business.
Is it really...
none of our business?
What do you mean?
Don't get imaginative.
I have a mole in the force.
I found out when he called.
Since it was a hit-and-run,
they'll check Shin Dae Gil's call history.
When they do, they'll find out that you talked to him.
They'll also find out he called me the day of the accident.
Then...
what will happen?
Don't worry.
Dae Gil's phone is missing.
They can get nothing but his call history and sent messages.
How do you know that...
his phone is missing?
I told you that I have a mole in the police force.
Did you exchange messages with him?
Was it...
really not you?
Are you sure it's not?
It wasn't. Believe me.
Did you exchange messages with him?
No.
Good then.
Pull yourself together and do as I say.
(People at the Edge of a Cliff)
Mom, I'm over here.
Were you at the hospital?
Yes.
Did you set the table?
Yes. I'm almost done.
Good for you, Soo Ho.
Dad cooked the rice and soup.
He's getting better at cooking every day.
- What? - Give me a hug.
I love your smell.
I love how you smell too.
I feel better now.
Did something bad happen?
Yes.
What is it?
It's tough to talk about.
He was a good guy.
He wasn't a good guy.
On the day of Seon Ho's accident,
he saw something happen...
and kept quiet.
Do you mean he lied?
I guess so.
Why are you here then?
Don't you hate him?
I don't know.
What did he lie about?
I don't know exactly.
How could he do that?
I had no idea.
I was so grateful.
I resent him too.
But Soo Ho.
He tried to...
show courage.
He tried to...
tell us the truth.
It's hard to admit what you did wrong.
It's very hard to do.
Are you saying you forgave him?
Forgiveness...
doesn't come easy.
But I feel sorry for him.
So...
I decided not to hate him.
So I don't want you to...
hate or resent him either.
I'd like you to pray that...
he goes to a better place.
No.
I'll hate him.
(Warmth, a beautiful school without violence)
Joon Seok.
Why did you miss class yesterday?
Your phone was off too.
Your mom called me.
Is something wrong?
Nothing's wrong.
Talk to me. I'm your best friend.
Don't cross the line.
Okay. Sorry.
(Warmth, a beautiful school without violence)
It was a hit-and-run.
Is that murder?
It's like "Death Note". Who's next?
- Don't say that. It's bad luck. - It's creepy.
Everyone involved is going out one by one.
Our school is done for.
One fell and the security guy died.
Our security officer died in a hit-and-run yesterday.
A hit-and-run?
Yes. People are calling it a Death Note.
That people involved in Seon Ho's accident are dying one by one.
I know the sad news has ruined your spirits,
but make sure your classes go as usual.
Once you're done,
please visit to pay your respects.
His wife's funeral isn't over yet.
How will his funeral be arranged?
His relatives will decide on that.
Director Oh said he wants to thank Mr. Shin...
for his services towards the school,
and offered to pay for the funeral out of his own pocket.
I heard it was a hit-and-run.
Was the murderer apprehended?
You should be mourning him, not asking such questions.
Why don't you become a detective instead of a teacher?
People are gossiping enough about Seon Ho.
I'm very concerned that this happened too.
Keep an eye on the students so they don't get emotional.
And make sure they can concentrate on their studies.
- Mr. Shin. - Yes?
I'll accompany Director Oh when he pays his respects.
You are to come with us.
I'll do that.
That's all.
How could something like this happen?
You never know what'll happen tomorrow.
You'll go to the funeral?
Yes. Moo Jin said he'd visit first then give me a call.
We don't know what it'll be like.
Why would you go there whatever it's like?
Joon Ha.
If he had called 911 a little bit earlier,
Seon Ho wouldn't be unconscious right now.
Yes, I know that. But...
But what? That he regretted it?
What's the use? It's too late now.
I can't forgive him.
I don't feel sorry for him at all. You reap what you sow.
I'm not doing this because I can forgive him.
Then why are you insisting on going there?
Regardless of what he did,
he still...
mustered up his courage for Seon Ho right before he died.
I don't want to hate him...
for Seon Ho's sake.
How exactly is that for Seon Ho's sake?
If I empty whatever hatred I have inside my heart,
a miracle...
might happen to Seon Ho.
As time goes by,
I get so scared thinking that Seon Ho...
might never wake up.
Every time I think that...
I wake up feeling frightened.
If I hate and resent people,
I feel like...
something bad might happen to Seon Ho.
Why would you think that when the people who are guilty...
should be the ones who can't sleep at night?
- Don't go there. - Joon Ha.
Just don't go!
Are you the chief mourner?
I'm not sure if I deserve to be called that.
I'm his cousin.
I heard he has a son.
Well...
(Funeral Home)
We can't reach his son.
And he has a younger sister,
but she's living abroad and can't make it here.
(Funeral Home)
(Oh Jin Pyo, Director of Seah Foundation)
- Please leave. - I'm here to talk to him.
- You need to make an appointment... - That's fine.
You may excuse us.
I don't have much time because I need to go to a funeral.
But please take a seat.
You must think the world is at your feet.
You must think that way since you were able to get away...
with anything up until now.
Did you drink?
How could you kill someone?
Are you crazy?
You don't deserve to be called human.
No human being would ever do something like this.
How could you kill him? How?
How dare you cause a scene?
Listen to me carefully.
I'm going to get you locked up in jail no matter what.
You're the one who might end up going to jail at this rate.
What?
I'll let this slide just this once.
You should go to a mental hospital and get a consultation.
People might think...
you've gone crazy because of your son.
You're the one who's crazy, you piece of trash.
How could you kill someone?
Let me go!
You're not human.
You mean jerk, who do you think you are?
How could you do that to him?
How could you?
- How could you? - Mr. Park.
- Why are you doing this? - How could you?
- Please let go of him. - How could you?
- Let me go! - Please let go, Mr. Park!
Are you okay, sir?
Shouldn't you go to a hospital?
- I'm okay. - Should I report him to the cops?
No.
- Are you really okay? - Just make sure this stays quiet.
It's best not to let anyone know about what happened here.
Yes, of course. I'm glad things didn't get worse.
Let's go to the funeral tomorrow.
Okay.
- Seon Ho's dad? - Yes.
You know how they say you never want to anger someone nice?
I seriously thought he might do something.
Why was he so angry?
I'm not exactly sure.
But Mr. Park said something weird.
Something weird?
He asked how he could kill someone.
He talked...
as if the director actually killed someone.
Are you sure he wasn't talking about Seon Ho?
Gosh, no.
This is just my hunch.
Well...
Who was the first person to find Seon Ho?
It was the school security officer, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Maybe Joon Seok was at the roof...
Never mind.
Pretend like you didn't hear that.
It's nothing.
Mr. Park.
What brings you here at this hour?
I'm here to see you.
Did you just come to work?
I came an hour early today.
I had to...
What happened?
Nothing.
Did you decide to fight?
Did you really fight?
I was kind of able to understand why you always used to...
fight so much.
That doesn't mean violence is okay, so don't get me wrong.
I can understand that much.
But who did you fight with?
A guy who isn't even human.
Did you win?
You should've won if you fought with someone who isn't even human.
I lost the moment I fought with someone who isn't even human.
You didn't lose. You won.
What?
I know you.
If you fought someone, it means you had a good reason to.
And if that reason is just,
that means the one who is just is the winner.
Ms. Kang.
What brings you here?
Well,
I was wondering if the school security officer...
left anything behind.
Oh, I see.
I also dropped by on my way home because I felt uneasy about it.
I'm sorry for coming in without permission.
No, it's okay.
I was actually thinking about calling you.
I knew you'd be here.
You didn't get that badly injured.
How did you know?
I have my ways.
You should've beaten him to a pulp while you were there.
I did something so pathetic.
Even when my son...
is a victim of school violence.
Our last hope passed away,
and all I can do is fight as retaliation.
I feel so ashamed.
And I'm sorry for Seon Ho.
There's no such thing as last hope.
Hey.
Soo Ho and I are holding out thanks to you.
Since you're not breaking down and holding out,
we can hold out with you.
So cheer up.
No.
You could use some rest.
Lean on me. I'll support you from now on.
Here.
Don't worry, and lean on me.
What?
Do I look weak to you?
Don't worry.
My shoulders are strong after all that dough-making.
I said to lean on me.
Let's stay like this for a while.
(Store, Rest Area)
His name is Jo Heung Gil.
He was a bodyguard for a chairman of a conglomerate.
He has two convictions for violence.
He's currently running a used-car dealer store.
That's a cover.
He's secretly taking care of rich people's problems.
It's possible since that method is common these days.
Tailing him? Do you have proof that I was me?
It's all on the security camera at Seah Middle School.
You were chasing the taxi Shin Dae Gil was in.
I was waiting for boss to have a drink.
He suddenly got on a taxi, so I followed it.
Boss?
We know each other.
I met him when he worked as a detective.
Between 2am and 4am 2 days ago, where were you?
At a funeral.
Why don't you check the security camera?
He prepared everything.
- Detective Yoo. - Yes.
Keep an eye on him.
He's going to rendezvous with his accomplice.
Check who he's meeting.
Yes, sir.
I have Shin Dae Gil's call history.
(911 Emergency Call)
What is this?
I bought some medicine because Seon Ho's mom didn't look so good.
You take care of her.
She doesn't usually take herbal medicines.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
I feel ashamed for what I did.
You're at it again.
I'm going to be at it forever.
But I'm going to stay by her side.
Please do.
Anyways, aren't Seon Ho's family...
going to security officer's funeral?
He's the one who called first after finding Seon Ho.
I went with Moo Jin a while ago.
I see.
I should have properly said hello that time...
if I knew this was going to happen.
What do you mean, that time?
Two days after Seon Ho's accident,
I saw him at a subway station.
But I was so busy, I just passed by him.
Right.
- I have to go. - Goodbye.
Wait.
The security officer,
did you just pass by him at the subway station?
Yes, he was taking something out from the locker.
Why?
What was he taking out?
It looked like a bag.
A bag?
He's here.
Lunch was my only free time.
Take a seat.
We could have gone to your office.
It's a school.
It won't look too good to have detectives there.
Right.
You wanted to ask me something?
It's about the deceased Shin Dae Gil.
Were you closer with him more than a security officer?
What's your intention of asking?
We went through his call history,
and on the day of Park Seon Ho's incident,
it showed that he called you.
And your wife...
called him...
numerous times after the incident.
We did talk on the phone that night.
After he found Seon Ho on the ground,
he got flustered and called me.
He told me that a student tried to commit suicide.
I also checked the times,
and he called you first...
before he called 911.
Is that a problem?
Logically speaking,
don't people usually...
call 911 when they find a kid who jumped?
You should ask that question to the security officer himself.
He wrote in his statement,
"I called 911 right after I found Seon Ho."
He didn't tell me about the fact that he called you.
Maybe he thought it wasn't that important.
Again, logically speaking,
if someone is flustered and call school's officials,
shouldn't it be the principal or the chief of administration?
You're not really a working staff at school,
and above all, you're too high up in rank.
I run this school regardless of the ranks.
All the employees have my number.
I see.
Why did you call him,
and numerous times at that?
What?
(Joon Ha)
Where are you?
Are you with Moo Jin?
Good. Call the detective.
I need to check something,
but I need a warrant.
I called him because I was curious about what happened to Seon Ho.
You're friends with Seon Ho's mother.
Why didn't you ask her yourself?
It would be rude even to a friend...
if she's suffering from her son's incident.
Right.
I imagined it'd be painful for her to talk about Seon Ho.
That's why you called him several times?
I can't remember exactly how many times I called him.
How are our calls with him related to a hit-and-run?
He called Seon Ho's parents just before his accident.
We were told he was going to...
reveal all the secrets he was hiding about what happened to Seon Ho.
That's when he got in the accident.
I feel like it's your job to figure out...
what he was hiding and who caused the accident.
We have nothing more to tell you, so please leave.
Oh Jin Pyo incited the hit-and-run,
and his wife doesn't know about it.
It seemed like it.
This is so frustrating.
We have the belief and circumstance, but there's no evidence.
We'll find it.
(Ms. Kang)
Yes.
Two days after Seon Ho's incident,
we have a witness that saw Shin Dae Gil at a subway station...
taking out a bag from the locker.
Have you lost your mind?
Why did you do something that terrible?
I said it wasn't me.
And I'm supposed to believe that?
He died when he was going to reveal the secrets,
- and that was a coincidence? - It was a coincidence.
It's proof that the Lord is on our side.
You're not even human.
How can you be so cruel?
Listen to me.
Whether you believe me or not,
I had nothing to do with it.
I have nothing left to protect anymore.
It's all gone.
You, Joon Seok, and me.
We're all ruined.
No one will go down as long as you stay strong.
No.
It's already gone.
Now, there's no going back.
There's no need to go back.
We just march ahead.
You're crazy.
I'm warning you.
Don't whine in my presence again.
Act like Joon Seok's mom.
I lost the qualifications long ago.
Still, keep your place.
You started all this.
Protect Joon Seok to the end.
- Darn it. - What are you doing?
Why are you searching like a thief?
Watch your language.
You acted like one.
Move aside.
I'll give you just one chance.
To do what?
To come clean and show remorse.
Don't act up and step aside.
That night.
You were with my brother on the roof, right?
I'm glad.
If you came clean,
I wasn't sure if I should forgive you or not.
I'm glad you're evil to the end.
(School Counselor. Talk about bullying and your concerns)
(Share your concerns)
Hello.
(School Counselor)
(Once a day for 20 minutes)
(School Counselor)
I have no friends.
I hate coming to school.
(I have no friends. I hate coming to school.)
(Can you tell me why you don't want to go to school?)
Why are you still here?
I'm on class duty this week.
Talk to our homeroom teacher.
Or your parents.
About what?
Oh Joon Seok is bullying you, right?
Why would I let him bully me?
You're not telling on him.
You can tell. Tell them.
Mind your own business. How dare a ghost give me advice?
I'm trying to mind my own business.
I don't like being called a ghost, so don't call me that.
My name is Han Dong Hee.
Do you think I don't know that?
Then call me by my name.
Da Hee, it's Park Soo Ho.
I'm sorry for suddenly showing up...
and surprising you and causing you pain.
I forgot that you're sick...
and only thought about myself.
Do you feel better now?
I hope that you and my brother get better soon...
and come back to school.
Then you, me, Seon Ho, and Dong Hee...
could eat lunch and go to the movies together.
It would be nice to eat spicy tteokbokki together too.
Just thinking about it makes me feel happy.
My mom said that...
if you smile like a flower, your face blooms like one.
I'd like you to smile bright like a flower.
If you smile,
Seon Ho will cheer up and get better.
Stay strong.
(Investigations)
It's footage from a camera by the subway station locker.
I called you over because...
watching this is better than any explanation.
This is 90 minutes before Shin Dae Gil picked up the bag.
Seo Eun Joo put it in the locker.
We have records of her talking to Shin 10 minutes later.
I think she told him the locker's combination.
We suspect the bag contained cash,
but we can't prove that with this video.
Is this not acceptable evidence then?
No. We can prove that Seo Eun Joo...
and Shin Dae Gil planned something.
We'll question Ms. Seo as a witness.
But Mr. Shin is dead, and she won't admit to anything.
What happens then?
If we follow Mr. Shin's movements,
we'll be able to find out where the cash went.
We're watching the man who was following Mr. Shin,
and the local police track the hit-and-run driver.
We'll find something.
Are you all right?
How did it go? Did you check?
Where's Soo Ho?
She's at the hospital.
How did it go?
Was it not a big deal?
Actually, it was. We found evidence.
Really? What was it?
Eun Joo will be questioned as a potential witness.
Was Eun Joo the person who left the bag...
in the locker?
- Yes. - Are you saying...
she put cash in that bag and gave it to him?
We couldn't check, but it feels like it.
Then why are they questioning her as a potential witness?
They should be arresting her.
Why are you so down...
when you guys found evidence?
What would I have done?
What do you mean?
If I was...
in Eun Joo's shoes,
what do you think I would've done in that situation?
You surely wouldn't have done what she did.
How can you be so sure?
In Ha.
You can't become weak. You have a long way to go.
They deserve to get punished by the skies.
I didn't become weak.
Then why would you say something like that?
It's because I'm about to become weak.
What's that supposed to mean?
The moment I saw Eun Joo...
on the CCTV footage,
I felt the urge to kill her with my own two hands.
If I had a gun,
I would've gone over to her and shot her with it.
That's how furious I was.
I felt like that would only make things fair.
But...
that made me get so scared of myself.
I got scared that I might actually do it.
No.
I got scared at the fact that I was even thinking that.
So I tried...
my best...
to understand her.
I told myself that I might've done the same...
if I was in her shoes...
because I'm also a mother.
I told myself over and over again...
that anyone would do that for their own child.
I kept telling myself that on my way home.
In Ha.
I'm...
a hypocrite.
I always acted all kind and noble...
in front of you and Soo Ho,
but deep down, I was thinking of something so horrible.
That's different.
Like you said,
he was planning on confessing what he did wrong.
On top of that,
he ended up passing away like that.
I change my mind...
hundreds of times every day.
I know I need to control my mind for Seon Ho's sake.
But...
it's just so hard.
"Well, I'm not too crazy about Romeo and Juliet,"
- It's okay. You can take your time. - "I mean like them,"
Tomorrow's Friday, so I don't feel too pressured.
The day after tomorrow is Saturday.
"They get pretty annoying sometimes."
- Okay. - "I mean I felt much sorrier..."
- Yes, Dong Hee's with me. - "when old Mercutio got killed..."
- "than when Romeo and Juliet did." - Okay.
"The thing is..."
- I almost forgot. - "I never liked..."
What?
Do you have plans on Saturday?
You're home.
Yes, where's your mom?
I don't know. She wasn't here when I came back from the academy.
(Detective Park Seung Man)
This is Oh Jin Pyo.
Why are you the one picking up?
My wife must've left her cell phone at home.
What is it this time?
I called because we need to question her as a potential witness.
You need to question her as a potential witness?
What kind of nonsense is that?
Unfortunately,
we found your wife giving money to Shin Dae Gil.
We'll have to see if it has anything to do with the hit-and-run.
But she'll have to come to the police station first.
I think there's a big misunderstanding.
If you need to ask her anything, you should come to our house.
I could go ahead with the necessary paperwork...
and send her a summons if that's what you want.
And if you also feel uncomfortable with that,
we could go and pick her up ourselves.
But if we do that, the press will start to gather.
Will that be okay?
I'll call you after I talk to my wife.
But please keep in mind that if we cause an issue with this,
you'll have to get ready to quit your job, Detective Park.
I'm only doing the necessary investigation.
I'll be waiting for your call.
Mom.
You're home.
Seon Ho and I are in the same class again.
Are you that happy? You guys were already in the same class last year.
Seon Ho and I understand each other very well.
I personally think you guys are very different.
That's why we get along.
I'm going to get changed and go to Seon Ho's place.
You need to go to the academy.
I'm going to play a game with Seon Ho for an hour...
and go with him afterward.
I think you're going to his house a bit too often.
What do you mean?
Your dad is worried about you.
He says you should get more private lessons and get ready to go...
to a special-purpose high school now that you're in eighth grade.
I'm already going to an academy and taking two private lessons.
You want me to do more?
I know it's hard.
But it's what your dad wants.
And it's also for your own good,
so let's just take one more private lesson during the weekend.
Okay.
Soo Ho.
Get up. You asked me to wake you up.
Mom, it's Saturday.
I'm waking you up because it's Saturday.
Oh, right! Today is Saturday!
Gosh, I'm going to be late!
Goodness.
Your brother wakes up all by...
Yes?
Was it today?
All right.
Thank you for the call.
Who was it?
Detective Park.
They are bringing Eun Joo for questioning today.
I see.
I wonder what she's going to say.
He said he'd call me later. We'll find out soon.
Why did you come here?
I was just about to go home.
Happy birthday, daddy.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, honey.
Is today my birthday?
I knew you'd forget.
Go ahead. Make a wish and blow the candles.
Soo Ho wanted to wish you a happy birthday with Seon Ho.
So we brought the cake here.
Why aren't you wishing me a happy birthday?
Do I have to say it aloud?
Sure. Do I look like a mind reader?
Goodness, there they go again.
We'll skip the song since we are at a hospital.
Blow the candles, dad. Don't forget to make a wish.
Soo Ho and Dong Hee made the cake all by themselves.
Really? Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Candle wax is dripping.
Oh, right.
Let's eat.
- Are you ready? - Yes.
Do not make any mistakes.
Don't worry.
I'm going to protect Joon Seok until the very end.
It'll be over soon.
Just do as we practiced.
All right.
I told Joon Seok they wanted to talk to you about the call history.
So there's no need to elaborate.
Where is Joon Seok?
I told him to stay in his room.
I didn't want him to get nervous.
That's right. I had cash in my bag.
Mr. Shin said he needed money badly.
I couldn't ignore it.
Mr. Shin said he needed money badly.
I couldn't ignore it.
You're saying you lent the money to him. Is that correct?
Yes.
- How much did you lend him? - 30,000 dollars.
Considering the size of the bag, I think there was much more money.
I didn't have any other suitable bag.
That's a lot of money to lend to a mere acquaintance.
Were you that close with Shin Dae Gil?
I saw him often about the matters in regard to school.
But I wouldn't say we were close.
Yet you lent him that much money.
His wife was ill.
Also, he said his son had a huge debt...
and that he might get killed if he didn't pay back.
How could I say no...
after hearing such a story?
Excuse me for saying this but...
30,000 dollars is not a big sum to me.
If it was a legitimate loan, why did you use a subway locker...
instead of giving him the money in broad daylight?
It was all cash, too.
Usually, criminals employ a method like that...
That's a defamation statement.
I'm saying it's very suspicious.
I couldn't understand it at the time either.
But Mr. Shin asked me to do it that way.
Please stick to facts only.
Our investigation will uncover the truth.
And if we learn that you committed perjury,
you'll be in big trouble.
I'm telling you the truth.
I have no reason to lie either.
I thought she was going to confess when she admitted it was cash.
She prepared what to say in case we trace the source.
She knew it'd work against her if we found the source of the money.
Darn it.
It's not over yet.
He said they'll keep looking for evidence and investigate.
Please don't be too disappointed.
It's so obvious...
and anyone can see it.
But I guess this is how so many people...
who committed crime keep on living as nothing has happened.
It's going slow, but they're finding one evidence after another.
We've stayed strong so far.
We'll continue to stay strong.
If we go on like that,
we'll find an oasis...
What is it?
Did he mean...
You remind me of a cactus.
Cacti live strong even in a desert.
But I don't think I can be an oasis for you.
Honey, what is it?
You said Mr. Shin gave you...
this cactus. Right?
That's right.
What did he say when he gave it to you?
He said he was going to give it to Seon Ho.
Also...
I wanted to give this to Seon Ho...
because this cactus is especially resilient.
What about it?
Honey.
What are you doing?
What is that?
Honey, this is...
It's Seon Ho's cell phone.
(Beautiful World)
They found Seon Ho's cell phone.
Not only do they have Joon Seok's texts,
but they also have records of you and Shin Dae Gil's conversation.
We want Joon Seok's parents to receive a tough punishment.
The assailants rarely look back and regret.
I believe Oh Joon Seok needs to suffer more.
He needs to experience exactly the same for him to barely learn.
The police will try to find whether the accident was intentional or not.
It was just an accident. You did nothing wrong.
They're trying to get away with it by saying it was coincidental.
I want a divorce. I know what you're trying to protect.
The reputation of the foundation and yourself.
You even killed someone to protect that.
I can't let someone like you raise Joon Seok.
Did you hire the hit-and-run driver?
If it wasn't Oh Jin Pyo, then who was it?
