THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS AND EVENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

CHILD ACTORS WERE FILMED IN SAFE SITUATIONS.

Mom died from a sleeping pill overdose,

but she had no sleeping pill.

There was no pill.

What?

What do you mean?

I hid it away from her.

Mom...

didn't killed herself, right?

What did you do...

to my mom?

You couldn't let

the woman you kicked out

raise your son secretly?

No way!

I was going to get divorced.

I wanted to start again with her.

I was going to live with you and your mom here.

The chairman of Hansu wanted to live

in a place like this

with an unmarried mother?

Yes.

I was going to give up everything.

Because I realized what truly mattered to me.

Please...

Please...

Just once!

Just once,

tell me the truth, please.

I told you everything I wanted to say.

Believe it or not,

it's your choice.

You...

are the worst ever.

It's me, sir.

Sir.

Sir?

Sir!

"Gangha 1-dong"

"Investigation Report"

"Found on October 10th, 1998 Victim: Kim Seonyoung"

We close this case as a suicide in the bathtub

by a sleeping pill overdose.

"Detective in charge: Lee Hyungjun"

Sir.

Chairman Jin...

has passed away.

Jin?

Please help me.

I found a secret space

where I used to hide my stuff when I was young.

There were mom's sleeping pills

prepared on the day of her death.

What...

What do you mean?

I mean, it was not suicide.

Mom didn't have sleeping pills.

I hid the bottle away.

Someone visited my house on that day,

but I don't remember who it was.

I looked through all the files, but I couldn't find anything.

Please check it out for me.

The detective in charge

was Captain Lee.

Mr. Jin.

We're from Seoul Metropolitan Police.

Can we talk for a minute?

What's up?

Let's go somewhere private.

What's going on?

No idea.

Father...

Wait.

What are you talking about?

As of now,

it seems that he committed suicide.

Melted sleeping pills were found in the liquor bottle.

The estimated time of death

is 2:00 a.m.

Yesterday,

you met him, right?

You came at 11:30 p.m. by cab,

and left the villa

at around 12:00 a.m.

What did you talk about?

Did you notice

any sign of suicide from him?

Reporters are waiting outside.

Let's go to the house.

Okay?

Jin Isoo is here! He's coming.

Move.

Stop shooting.

Back off.

You knew that he passed away?

You met him last night.

What did you talk about?

Both of your parents committed suicide.

How do you feel?

Move.

Excuse us.

Back off.

Everyone, leave.

Leave now.

Leave.

Dismiss.

Why?

Was that a right question?

Hey, I hit the nail on the head.

I'm so embarrassed that a trash like you is a reporter.

Gosh.

They're from Seoul Metropolitan Police.

When did you last see the deceased?

The last time I saw him

was when he left for his villa after the press conference.

He wanted to be alone,

so I didn't follow him.

What did you say?

What the hell?

Are you crazy?

Jin Myeongchul, the chairman of Hansu,

who resigned from the mayor candidacy due to an illegitimate issue,

was found dead in his villa

in Seonganju-si this morning.

Kim Taehun is reporting.

- No. - This morning,

-in the villa in Seonganju-si, -No.

-owned by Chairman Jin, -No, no...

Chairman Jin Myeongchul was found dead.

Police assume that Chairman Jin committed suicide

after suffering from the pressure of the public.

His body was first found by his secretary Kang,

who visited his villa this morning.

Jin Myeongchul has been leading Hansu Group since 1997

when he was inaugurated as the chairman.

Recently, he ran for the Seoul mayor...

What did you do...

to my mom?

You...

are the worst ever.

Come out if you're ready.

Ma'am.

It's all your fault.

You trashy bastard.

What did you say?

What the hell did you say to him?

-Ma'am, calm down, please. -You...

and your mom... Why do you make me crazy?

You killed my husband in the end.

You...

Seungju, kick him out of here.

Mom.

He killed your father.

Mom!

Stop it.

Please leave.

I'll handle everything here.

Seungju.

Escort her.

Seungju?

My son.

Take her to the hospital.

Don't let her out.

I'm sorry.

Mom

is very sensitive now.

Look up.

You're the son of Chairman Jin.

"The deceased, Jin Myeongchul"

"Sons: Jin Seungju, Jin Isoo Wife: Cho Heeja"

We respectfully express our condolences.

Bro.

I'm so sorry.

I don't think I can sleep.

Can you believe this?

I don't understand him.

You'll never know the pressure

of Chairman's position of Hansu Group.

Of course,

I don't exactly know it, either.

But I can imagine how it would be.

He must have felt a lot of pressure

while going through the election.

I thought

Father was strong enough.

Isoo.

There's no one who is strong enough

to beat everything.

Your room is still there.

If you don't mind,

how about staying with me at home for a while?

By the way,

why did you meet him on the day?

I had something to talk to him.

About what?

I'll tell you later.

You're home.

Didn't Isoo come together?

No.

I wanted to go to the funeral,

but I felt I shouldn't be there.

I've been there.

Is he okay?

Maybe not.

I hope I could cook a meal for him someday.

You might not have a chance to do that.

When I was as small as you,

your grandpa gave me a compass as well.

What do you think it means?

I should choose the right way?

Right.

That's what it means.

The time we spent together,

that sunshine,

and even that air are all unforgettable to me.

Even for a short moment together,

you gave me peace.

I know it's too late, but please give me another chance.

Like this picture, let's smile and grow old together.

I also want to be a good father for Isoo.

Mom shouldn't have died like that.

It's you who killed her.

Don't dare say that again!

She was the woman I loved.

I wanted to be a good father.

That's why I let you in.

I was going to live

with you and your mom here.

I wanted to start again with her.

"Look further and choose the right way"

Please take a moment of silence.

Thank you.

You should take over the company as soon as possible.

That's the only way to settle everything down.

Since 1997, the deceased, Jin Myeongchul,

has led Hansu Group.

Until he passed away, not only in economic field...

Isoo looks the coolest when he smiles.

He entered politics at the age of 60,

and bravely ran for...

I don't understand.

Why did the chairman do that

while preparing for the mayor election?

Wealth and honor

don't always ensure one's happiness.

He might have felt a lot of pressure.

I mean, it was not suicide.

Mom didn't have sleeping pills.

I hid the bottle away.

I need to go somewhere.

Sleeping pills?

Yes.

Did you see any pills

or a medicine bottle at the scene?

I don't think so.

No.

I didn't.

Isn't it weird?

Well...

Yes, it is.

Usually, the pills are found around the body.

Even if he went there to kill himself...

Where did he get those pills?

Did he used to take them daily?

From now on,

as a representative of the chairman,

I'll read Chairman Jin Myeongchul's will.

It is estimated that the chairman's stock assets

of Hansu Group and its affiliates

amount to about 11 trillion won.

Real estate assets, including a house in Pyeongjin-dong

covering 593 square yards,

amount to about one trillion won.

Cash equivalents such as stock dividends

amount to about 5 trillion won.

Including the artworks that he has collected in his entire life,

the total amount is estimated to reach 20 trillion won.

Among these, the stock asset part will be...

I should get going.

You handle this as you want.

What happened to you?

"Kim Seonyoung"

I want to know the truth,

but I don't know what to do.

I got a call from Chairman Jin

on the day of his death.

He said

he wanted to revise his will.

He changed his mind for some reason,

but now I can't ask him what it was.

Isoo, you're here.

You want a drink?

It's almost done. Wait.

Okay.

Why the long face again?

What's up?

Hey.

Isn't this the case of Jin's mother?

Right.

Why?

Did you find sleeping pills left at the scene?

Sleeping pills?

No, I didn't.

There was a prescription for it, though. Why?

It's weird.

What's weird?

If she took the pills,

-Yes. -there should have been

pills or a bottle left at the scene.

But Isoo said she didn't have pills.

It was 25 years ago.

He lost his mom then.

Do you believe his memory?

There was nothing left

around the chairman's body, either.

Really?

Someone

could've put the pills into his liquor.

Can I talk to you now?

Jin.

-Hey. -Hey.

Have you been waiting long?

No.

Gosh, it's cold.

Let's go eat something.

Hey, I'm hungry. Let's go.

Come on.

Looks yummy.

Thank you.

Please enjoy.

I have something to tell you.

Let's eat first.

Come on.

I'll listen to you after eating.

Okay?

It's good.

Try this one.

Try some veges

with this.

Sundubujjigae here is really good.

Try it, okay?

Try it with the broth.

Now, you look much better.

What do you want to tell me?

You said melted pills were found

in his liquor bottle, right?

Right.

He poured me that liquor.

He wanted to drink with me.

You want a drink?

No father gives liquor

with sleeping pills in it to his son.

He could've taken the pills

after you left.

I thought that could be.

Because, on that day,

we talked about my mom.

I told him it was not suicide.

What did you do to my mom?

I asked him what he did to my mom.

I thought he did something

to make my mom commit suicide.

But I was wrong.

Father was preparing for a divorce.

I wanted to start again.

I was going to live

with you and your mom here.

He said that he wanted

to restart with me and my mom.

We're also investigating

your father's case.

There's something weird.

I also checked your mother's file today.

There were no pills left at the scene.

You still don't remember

who came to your house

on the day?

No.

Let's reinvestigate both cases.

We'll go check the villa.

You try

to restore your exact memory

of that day.

We don't have any evidence yet.

You...

must get your memory back.

And your letter of resignation

wasn't submitted yet.

Come back anytime you want.

We're a team, right?

Currently, Hansu

is facing the worst crisis.

A dead body was found in the chairman's house,

and the chairman passed away.

Our stock price is plunging.

Unless we take actions,

our public image will be damaged severely.

Vice Chairman Jin should be Chairman as soon as possible.

Right. We have no other choices.

What do you think, Mr. Choi?

You assisted the previous chairman,

and you've been close with Vice Chairman Jin as well.

Do you think Jin Seungju

deserves to be the chairman?

I'll have him make up for it.

I can't let that kind of person be the chairman of Hansu.

I got a call.

He said

he wanted to revise his will.

He changed his mind for some reason,

but now I can't ask him what it was.

"Detective Lee Ganghyun"

Excuse me for a second.

Mr. Choi. This is Lee Ganghyun.

Yes?

Did Chairman Jin Myeongchul

take sleeping pills often?

No.

He had no problem in sleeping.

Why?

I can't figure out

where he got sleeping pills.

As far as I know,

his wife has been taking it for a long time.

Has she?

You think it's not suicide?

We're considering all the possibilities.

There's no security cam here.

Right.

No streetlight, either. It'll be pitch-dark at night.

No security cams inside the villa, right?

Yes. I heard the ones outside were all out of order.

No one used that villa for a long time.

Someone who knows that

could easily sneak into the villa, right?

Long time no see.

I have a favor.

I need to restore my memory

of the day of my mom's death.

Why should I

do you a favor?

Because the footage that you care about very much

is still in the evidence room,

and I might leak it by mistake.

Well...

Now,

let's walk

deeper into your memories.

"Jin Myeongchul's death case"

"Found dead sitting on a chair in the villa"

It's possible to sneak into the villa.

If someone sneaked in

after Jin left there,

and put a pill into the bottle...

That would've been the one who knows about the villa well,

and who would not be suspected by Chairman Jin.

Who's this woman?

She...

is Jin's real mother.

What?

25 years ago, she died from a sleeping pill overdose.

There were no sleeping pills left at the scene as well.

You mean,

both cases

could be homicide cases?

Wait.

Then--

We should think about the one

who would benefit the most.

Right. If the benefit is the murder motive...

Chairman Jin

was preparing to divorce 25 years ago.

The one who'd benefit the most from Kim Seonyoung's death

is Cho Heeja.

And from Jin Myeongchul's death,

Jin Seungju, the next chairman,

would benefit the most.

So, the culprits could be his stepmother and stepbrother?

That's possible.

But it's not clear yet.

Let's not jump to the conclusion.

There's a strong possibility.

They had both the motive and the way of murder.

I remember the one

who came on the day of my mom's death.

Mom!

It was Cho Heeja.

On that day,

Cho Heeja came to my house.

She assaulted my mom.

At that time,

Chairman Jin was preparing for a divorce.

And Ms. Cho found it out.

I wasn't aware that she went there.

I know who Han Daehoon is.

He's Seungju's biological father.

Did Father find it out then?

Was that why he decided to divorce?

Chairman Jin knew that before he got married to Ms. Cho.

He thought of this marriage as a business.

He said, he couldn't love her,

so it might be better to choose

the woman who was already in love with another man.

While preparing for the wedding,

he found out that she was pregnant.

Chairman accepted her

knowing everything in the first place.

Then,

why did he decide to divorce?

Because he found out

that he had a real son.

The one who ordered Han Daehoon's murder

was Cho Heeja.

And my mom

might also have been killed by her.

I need her whereabouts of that day.

I...

will look into it.

There are two possibilities.

Cho Heeja killed Kim Seonyoung

25 years ago,

and Jin Seungju, who found it out later,

covered the truth.

Like Han Daehoon's case?

Yes.

And Jin Seungju killed Jin Myeongchul

in the same way.

- Or-- - Cho Heeja

killed both Kim Seonyoung and Jin Myeongchul.

Right.

The first murder was executed as a perfect crime,

so she used the same way.

But

I still don't get it.

I understand she wanted to kill Kim, but why did she kill the chairman?

Her son, Jin Seungju,

was supposed to be the next chairman by default.

Maybe he was not for some reason.

Let's focus on Jin Myeongchul's case for now.

Jin will look into the case that occurred 25 years ago.

Check the alibi

and the cams around the villa.

Okay.

- Hello. - Yes.

Police.

Can we talk for a second?

What's up?

You work here, right?

Right.

On the day of Chairman Jin's death,

did you work here?

Yes, I did.

Who was in the house that night?

Ms. Cho and Vice Chairman Jin were in the house.

Other than those two,

didn't anyone else leave the house in the early morning?

I don't know.

I finished my work at 11:00 p.m. and went home.

All workers should leave before 11:00 p.m.

Ms. Cho doesn't like having an outsider in her house when she's sleeping.

I see. Thank you for cooperation.

Okay.

Take them away. I don't feel like eating.

"housekeeper1"

What?

A cop visited here.

Why?

He asked me

who left the house on the day of the chairman's death.

A car left the house at 1:00 a.m.

I can tell the plate number,

but I can't identify the driver.

Both Jin Seungju and Cho Heeja were in the house, right?

Yes.

Hello, Mr. Choi.

I have a favor to ask you.

Mr. Choi.

Sorry. I was distracted to something.

Don't call anyone.

I'll handle it.

I'll tell the vice chairman.

Yes.

Okay, handle it that way.

What's up?

There was a fender bender at the parking lot.

So?

It's Mr. Choi

who caused the accident.

One component is missing.

Let me go check it.

Okay.

"No SD card detected"

-Yes. -The SD card was already removed.

You think

Jin Seungju is the culprit?

It's clear that he is a suspect.

Do you have other evidence?

No. I don't have any physical evidence.

"Isoo"

Hey.

Seungju.

I need to talk to you.

Let's meet.

Okay.

I also have something to tell you.

Hey.

You want a drink?

Sure.

I'll be inaugurated

as Chairman soon.

So, come and work with me.

I can't do this alone.

You're my only brother. You should help me.

I still have something to do.

We only have each other now.

Stop idling away.

Mom's death

was not suicide.

She might have been murdered.

What?

Whoever it is,

I'll get the culprit.

Now I remember.

On that day,

your mother came to my house.

She assaulted my mom.

That's why I'm telling it to you.

Whatever happens from now,

I have no other way

but to do it.

Mom.

On the day Isoo's mom died,

did you visit their house?

Did you

go to meet your father?

I saw you

leaving

in the early morning that day.

I couldn't sleep,

so I came out to take sleeping pills.

It's not you, right?

Did you...

do that?

Say no.

Please.

Mom.

You never cease

to make me suffer, do you?

This is what you wanted.

You told me

to own Hansu Group at any cost.

That's what you've taught me.

Living as your son

has been so painful.

Did you know that?

Honey, listen to me.

-That secretary did it to me first-- -I want nothing but this from you.

Behave yourself as Hansu Chairman's wife.

Why did you get married to me

if you can't even do that one thing?

Sweetie.

My sweetie.

Come on.

Don't worry.

You have nothing

that resembles that jerk.

You

are warm and kind.

You dressed up nicely.

You look like a rich son in this outfit.

But...

I don't like this button.

You, humble trash.

You think you're someone important?

Not at all.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

He can't go in these ruined clothes.

Sorry, ma'am.

Seungju, you're home.

How long have you been there?

You look nice, sweetie.

Today's guests

will have your back from now on.

Look up.

You are the one who will lead Hansu Group.

I've blamed you many times.

"What if I had been born to different parents?"

I used to wonder.

"What if I grew up with normal parents"

"in a humble way?"

But I don't know how it would be.

People say that living a normal and humble life

is a true happiness,

but I've never experienced that.

I am only sure about two things.

One, I have to protect my mom.

Two,

I have to be the leader

of Hansu Group.

That's why I did that.

As you wanted me to do.

You're the only one I have,

and I'm the only one you have.

Now, it's almost done.

From now on,

just remember this.

You don't know anything.

Just as you've done so far,

live your life drinking alcohol.

Okay?

Father.

Why are you here?

Did you make a decision?

Father.

-It was all my fault. -I can't let it

just slide like that.

-Then, what do you want me to do? -Nothing.

I've already made a decision.

-You both turn yourselves in tomorrow. -Father.

Are you going to kick us away like this?

It was my biggest mistake ever

that I let you two in my house.

"Chairman Jin Seungju"

"Hansu Group Jin Seungju, Chairman's inaugural ceremony"

Special thanks to Choi Heejin

We have no clue

but only suspicion.

Is there no way to catch them?

I'm scared

if I made any mistake.

25 years ago, on October 10th,

he went out and had a car accident.

Where did he go?

Some fingerprints found at the scene were ruled out.

-They were from unidentifiable children. -Children?

"Why did my mom have to die?"

"Who is responsible for it?"

That's all I want to know.

Find out where Jin is now.

25 years ago, on that day,

did you meet my mom?

Did you kill her? Answer me!

Stay tuned for bonus clip

Isoo.

Have I ever...

lied to you?

I was also a child at that time.

I didn't know what happened.

25 years ago, on that day...

did you meet my mom?

No, I didn't.

She told me not to try to find out a reason.

But it's hard.

I want to know...

Stop thinking about that.

You might hurt yourself.

If you have anything in your mind,

just tell me.

Isoo.

Forget about the past.

We have lots of things to do from now on.

We are the leaders of Hansu Group.

You know that I'm on your side, right?
