Ji Seon-u.

If only we hadn't met her…

Damn it.

Both our lives

got messed up

because of her.

Once he gets me the money,

we can leave Gosan together.

Okay?

Let's go to a place where no one knows us

and start all over again.

Okay, Hyeon-seo?

No, I don't want to.

You… You don't want to?

That's right. I don't want to.

I told you I've changed.

I won't give you a hard time anymore.

Hyeon-seo.

Don't abandon me.

Please. You can't do that to me.

Is there even any hope left for us?

There isn't?

Even if we get lucky and win the lottery,

we'd still be hopeless.

As long as I'm with you,

my life will always be miserable.

Just like today.

So please…

Let's just please end this.

Hyeon-seo…

Hyeon-seo.

Hyeon-seo.

Hyeon-seo.

CALLS MIN HYEON-SEO

MIN HYEON-SEO

JI SEON-U

What was that?

-Oh, gosh! -My goodness!

You can't go there.

Follow me.

Let me go.

I need to check something.

I think it's the person I'm looking for.

It's a guy.

It's not the person you're looking for.

It won't do you any good if you stay here.

So let's hurry up and leave.

1:00 A.M. FRIDAY, JANUARY 3

Did you get hurt?

No, it's just a stain.

Mom, did you hear?

Someone died yesterday at Gosan Station.

Who told you?

It's on the news.

And all the kids are talking about it on social media.

Eat up. You'll be late.

Don't people normally jump in front of trains

when they try to commit suicide at a train station?

Isn't it weird that he jumped off the rooftop?

Don't you have an English listening test today?

The other kids also don't think it was suicide.

What do you think, Mom?

You're going to concentrate this time, right?

You let your mind wander last time and got one question wrong.

You even knew the answer to it.

A MAN FALLS FROM GOSAN STATION AND DIES

Someone fell from the rooftop of Gosan Station.

It happened in the center of downtown.

KIM YUN-GI

Can we talk for a moment?

Come inside.

Where were you last night?

At the office.

With whom?

-By myself. -What time did you leave?

I don't know.

I think it was around 12:30 a.m.

It says here that he left the office at around 10:30 p.m.

That's the last record I see on the security system.

According to the record, he didn't come back.

But why do you ask?

A person died at Gosan Station last night.

And that turned out to be Park In-gyu.

How do you know that?

I had an errand to run and was passing by.

Damn it!

I'm going to kill this bastard.

But then, I heard someone fell from the rooftop.

-What was that? -My goodness!

And then, I saw you.

You just happened to go to Gosan Station right when the accident occurred,

and that's how

you saw me there by coincidence?

Yes, that's right.

I happened to go there

and saw you by coincidence.

How did you know

that the guy who died was Park In-gyu?

How did you know it was Park In-gyu?

Aren't you going to answer me?

I saw the body on the ground.

He's the guy

you reported to the police for housebreaking and blackmail.

-And? -And I figured it wouldn't be any good

for you to stay there.

Don't tell me

you think I pushed them.

I didn't think that far.

Whatever the case, the police know that you weren't on good terms with him.

So I figured things might get complicated if they find out you were there.

That's why I did that.

You were able to think that far in that kind of situation?

You think very quickly.

Yes, I tend to be like that.

So that's it?

Why?

Is there something else you want to know?

Hello?

Hello?

I'm sorry, Dr. Ji.

I ruined everything.

Where are you right now?

What happened?

I didn't do it.

Dr. Ji, it wasn't me.

All of a sudden,

that person appeared out of nowhere.

"That person"?

Who?

The cops just called.

They said they need to interview you as a witness.

What?

They told me you were the last person Park In-gyu talked to on the phone.

Is that true?

Lee Tae-oh.

What did you just say?

It was Lee Tae-oh.

There you go.

Jenny, are you hungry?

Your husband is stalking me.

I'm trying to get rid of her out of our lives.

Here it is.

Okay, put this in there.

Where did it all go wrong?

You shouldn't have backed off so easily.

You should've stood your ground no matter what.

You may have protected your pride,

but it was all for nothing.

You only ended up making other people happy.

Are you saying I shouldn't have gotten a divorce?

What are you talking about?

I was talking about the associate director position.

I heard Kim Yun-gi declined the offer.

Why would he refuse to take such a great offer?

Do you know anything?

If you're so curious,

go ask the director yourself.

Or just be honest and tell him

that you want the position.

My gosh, I can't do that. My goodness.

Hey, Ye-rim.

Should I?

Hey, Seon-u.

Can we talk for a moment?

Sorry. I'm too busy right now.

The cops were here.

Was he the guy that broke into Ms. Ji Seon-u's house

last time?

It was you who made the report.

I'm not sure.

I bumped into him in the dark.

So I don't really remember his face.

Have you ever seen this scarf before?

This is…

What should I do, Seon-u?

Should I not have said that to the cops?

I see.

I'll call you back, ma'am. I need to treat a patient.

What shouldn't you have said to the cops?

Don't worry about it. You don't need to know.

JOINT PETITION FOR AN UNCONTESTED DIVORCE

HUSBAND: SON JE-HYUK WIFE: KO YE-RIM

I wasn't going to hire a lawyer either.

Don't make it sound like you're doing me a favor.

I'm the one

who's giving you what you want.

I'm letting you go

so you can live however you want.

What if I don't want that? Then can I just tear this apart?

I don't think

I can live without you.

You don't need to feel bad about it.

I mean it.

But you don't believe me.

Make sure you show up to court.

What was that about earlier regarding the cops?

What's going on?

It's not about me.

It's about Seon-u.

Do you recognize that scarf?

It's mine.

I gave it to Min Hyeon-seo.

Why do you think

Park In-gyu was holding onto this when he died?

I don't know.

I wonder why.

When did you last see Min Hyeon-seo?

It was at Gosan Station.

She left saying she's off to see a friend.

That's when I gave her that scarf.

I see.

We'll be interviewing you soon as a witness of the case.

Yes, of course. I'll cooperate.

Feel free to call me if you have any more questions.

-The director is here. -Oh, he's here.

Hello, sir.

-Hello, sir. -Hello.

-What's going on? -A detective came by.

Why did a detective come by?

The person who fell and died at Gosan Station

must be someone Dr. Ji knows.

Why does she always bring trouble to the hospital?

Director Gong.

I'd like to talk to you for a second.

The associate director position?

That's what it was?

I already have a lot on my mind.

Can we talk about that next time?

I think I'm more than qualified considering how long I've worked here

and how much I've contributed to the hospital.

I worked very hard.

I know you worked hard.

Then you should also give me a chance.

I'd love to give you a chance.

But you're still single.

-What? -Why are you so desperate for the position

when you don't even have a family to take care of?

But Dr. Kim Yun-gi is also single.

Oh, come on.

Men and women are different.

So it's okay for a guy to want a promotion,

but when a woman wants it, it's being greedy?

I'm not being greedy.

I'm doing this to survive.

Listen to me, Dr. Seol.

There's already a lot going on here because of Dr. Ji.

Please don't add to the mess.

The way you're behaving right now

doesn't seem very nice, you know.

It just makes you seem like a very greedy person.

I have to say, it's always the women who cause trouble.

My goodness.

Yes, I'm a woman.

On top of that, I'm single.

But because of that, I worked harder than others.

I have no children to look after me once I grow old,

and I don't have a husband to protect me.

The same goes for Seon-u.

You used the donation as an excuse to demote her from her position.

And now, you're even treating her like a troublemaker?

Why? Does she seem like a criminal to you

just because a detective came by?

No, when did I ever call her a criminal?

Every time there was an issue at the hospital,

Seon-u always took care of things while you were busy hiding somewhere.

But now, you think women are troublesome?

Why is that?

Is it because Seon-u is single now?

Dr. Seol, why are you overreacting today?

Why do you think?

I want you to explain to me.

Why you think women are troublesome and why is it a problem to be single?

My goodness.

Hey.

You and I have no hope here.

Seriously, Seon-u.

Why did you have to get a divorce?

GOSAN STATION ACCIDENT

GOSAN STATION ACCIDENT

A MAN FALLS FROM GOSAN STATION AND DIES

WHAT WAS HE DOING AND WHERE WAS HE BEFORE HE DIED?

PARK IN-GYU

GOSAN STATION DEATH

A MAN FALLS FROM GOSAN STATION AND DIES

A 30-YEAR-OLD MAN FELL FROM GOSAN STATION AT AROUND…

POLICE ARE ASSUMING HE COMMITTED SUICIDE, BUT HE ALSO COULD'VE BEEN MURDERED…

-Didn't you hear? -No.

Tell me what it is.

Let's go!

Let's keep going straight

Why aren't you getting ready for the ladies' society gathering?

Mom, you can go by yourself.

Hey, you know that guy who died at Gosan Station?

Councilman Cha's wife told everyone to come

saying she has something to tell us about him.

What is it?

How would I know?

So let's go and hear what it is.

My gosh, this is so annoying.

Wait.

I'll do it.

RECEIPT GOSAN STATION PARKING LOT

Where were you last night?

At the office.

What time did your husband come home last night?

I don't know.

I think it was around 12:30 a.m.

Were you aware that your wife used my girlfriend

to spy on you?

Before Park In-gyu died,

Lee Tae-oh was the last person he talked to on the phone.

I mean, who reads newspapers in print these days.

Da-kyung.

Are you really not going to go?

Hey, I have big news.

Gather around.

What is it?

-Just get over here. -Why? What is it?

-Hurry up. -What's up?

Jun-yeong.

A cop apparently went to investigate your mom.

-Hey, why would you tell him? -You can't tell him that.

Why can't I tell him?

It's regarding his mom, so I'm sure he already knows.

Why did they go see her?

Because of the Gosan Station murder case.

Apparently, the guy who died was your mom's boyfriend.

Do you know anything?

Just because she got investigated doesn't mean she's guilty.

He could've been her patient.

And cops sometimes go to doctors for medical consultations.

It's very ignorant of you to talk about something

when you're not even sure of anything.

I guess they really are dating.

-Yes, they're obviously a couple. -Exactly.

Where are you going?

MOM

Jun-yeong.

What was the relationship between Dr. Ji

and the guy who died?

She's a divorcee, and he's a very young man.

Can't you already tell?

Oh, gosh. My goodness.

What exactly do you mean?

It's embarrassing to say it out loud.

But all the mothers in Gosan have been talking about it online.

Don't tell me you actually believe such a groundless rumor.

It's not a groundless rumor.

The cops found something that belonged to Dr. Ji at the scene.

Seriously?

Then does that mean Ji Seon-u killed him?

Where did you hear that kind of stuff?

My husband looked into it.

My son, Hae-gang, is friends with her son.

So I couldn't help but be bothered about it.

Ye-rim, you wouldn't understand since you don't have kids.

A politician always needs to be careful

not to make any speculations.

You're a politician's wife, so you shouldn't go around

spreading rumors like that.

I don't say this when I'm around others.

I'm only telling you guys because I trust you.

Yes, of course.

We all deserve to know.

Everyone here has some kind of connection with Ji Seon-u.

On top of that, it's regarding our members.

Yes, you're right. This is a serious issue.

What would be the use of having a ladies' society

if we can't even share information with each other?

It may seem like you're sharing information,

but let's be honest. You're just spreading rumors.

What's with you today?

You're crossing the line.

Oh, dear. Did it come off that way?

Shouldn't you be back at the hospital, Dr. Seol?

I'm in charge of adjusting my office hours.

I'm experienced enough to do that much.

I have something to tell you guys.

I'm going to court tomorrow.

I'll be divorced in a month.

My goodness, really?

My gosh, you should've just scared him and ended it there.

How are you going to get by on your own? You don't even have kids.

I'm sure he got the idea now.

You should take him back.

I'm not putting on a show just to scare him.

I'm really

going to get a divorce.

If you want to know why I'm getting a divorce,

I'm more than willing to tell you the reason.

So don't bother imagining things on your own.

Well then,

I'll excuse myself now

so you guys can freely talk about me.

I'm going to go after her

and ask her what happened.

What was that about?

I guess this gathering

is slowly coming to an end.

Ye-rim!

If you're here to take me back, you don't need to bother.

What are you talking about? I loved what you said back there.

Great job.

Let's go for a drink.

Is everything okay with your mom these days?

Did she go to work today?

Yes, of course.

What time did she come home last night?

Was she late?

Why do you keep asking about her?

It's natural for me to ask. I need to know

if she's raising you well.

What's wrong?

-Jun-yeong. -Then why did you get a divorce?

Why are you back?

You're the problem.

You cheated on her and left us.

And you came back just because you wanted to.

You're the one who didn't play fair.

You guys should deal with your problems on your own.

Don't get me involved.

KIM YUN-GI

GOSAN CITY HALL GOSAN

What's your problem?

We know each other, don't we?

I think I saw you with Chairman Yeo a few times.

What are you doing?

Why were you following Ji Seon-u?

I don't know what you're talking about.

This is getting interesting.

Does Chairman Yeo have anything to do with the accident?

In-gyu called Lee Tae-oh

and threatened him to bring him money.

Where is Park In-gyu?

I'm going to kill him, so tell me where he is!

Let me go!

I was so scared.

So I told him

that he's at the rooftop.

I had no idea

that he'd end up dying like that.

-What was that? -My goodness!

He did it.

You didn't see it for yourself.

He killed In-gyu.

Do you think people will believe you?

I know they wouldn't.

Why would anyone believe me? I have no money or connections.

That's why I ran away

like a coward.

The cops are probably looking for me, right?

What if they find out I was with him right until he died?

What will happen to me then?

You guys had a fight.

So that won't act in your favor.

It wasn't me.

It was Lee Tae-oh.

Chairman Yeo Byeong-gyu has his back.

He'll do everything he can

to make sure Tae-oh doesn't get charged for the sake of his daughter.

I think it's best that you don't do anything, Hyeon-seo.

People might not believe me,

but they'll believe you.

Can you keep this?

You're

the only person

I can trust now.

You're going to help me, right?

Stay here and don't let anyone see you

until you hear from me.

You trust me, right?

What are you doing here?

I had dinner with Jun-yeong.

Why do you come home so late?

The cops called. They summoned me for a witness interview.

A cop came to see me as well.

You were at Gosan Station yesterday, weren't you?

I saw you.

Why?

You're now even

trying to frame me as a murderer?

Watch what you say.

You're Jun-yeong's mother.

That's right.

I'm glad you brought that up.

I'm Jun-yeong's mother, and you're his father.

So be honest with me.

Were you the one

who killed Park In-gyu?

Someone saw you go to the rooftop.

Who?

Don't tell me

it was Min Hyeon-seo.

Are you guys trying to frame me right now?

Why would I do that?

Because it was you. You killed Park In-gyu.

Am I wrong?

You asked Min Hyeon-seo where he was and went up to the rooftop.

And after you went up there, Park In-gyu fell.

He had already fallen from the rooftop when I got up there.

It's either one of the two.

Either Min Hyeon-seo killed him,

or she planned it with you.

Do you seriously think

you're making any sense right now?

-So it wasn't you? -No.

Can you swear on Jun-yeong?

Don't make me swear on my son.

I did nothing wrong in the first place.

It wasn't me either. I did go there because I was angry.

But I didn't kill him, okay?

Okay, fine.

It was neither of us. Okay?

That means it was Min Hyeon-seo.

Let's just say it was her.

Have you lost your mind?

You want to frame that poor kid and make her become a murderer

just so you can get out of this?

It's for both of us!

Don't you get it?

Hey, Tae-oh!

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Hey, you.

I'm glad I ran into you. You wait right there.

-You're drunk. -Just think of what's best for Jun-yeong.

Okay?

You…

Did you or did you not say you'll help me become the associate director?

Be careful. You'll fall.

That punk.

Where do you think you're going, you punk?

She's hilarious.

Oh, my gosh.

Be careful, Myeong-suk.

Seon-u.

Hey.

What was he doing here?

Was he here to bug you again?

He was here to meet Jun-yeong.

We're going to drink a bit more.

Would you like to join us?

I need to talk to my friends.

Okay.

Do you have a lot of homework?

Should I go home and fix you a snack?

No, it's okay.

Did you enjoy dinner with your dad?

Yes.

You should go to bed early if you're tired.

Don't worry. I'll take care of myself.

Okay.

I'm going to hang up now.

Hey, he's in eighth grade.

Just let him be.

You can worry all you want, but he'll just think you're nagging.

She's right, Seon-u. Come over here and have a drink.

Why did you guys drink so much?

Did something good happen?

We quit being a member of the ladies' society,

and we drank to celebrate.

-You did what? -She's actually going to do it.

She's getting a divorce.

All the documents are ready.

And we're going to court tomorrow.

After a month, our divorce will finally be over.

Don't look at me like that. I'm really happy right now.

Why are you crying?

Even Seon-u's trying hard to cope with it.

I can't believe it's so easy.

It's so futile.

All I needed to do was sign a document.

I don't understand

why I made myself suffer for so long.

Is marriage

really this meaningless?

I mean, how is it

that I'm left with nothing?

Now that it's over, I realize that there's absolutely nothing.

Did it really mean so little

to be married?

It'd be great if you could end it that easily.

You'd better brace yourself.

It won't be that easy to end your marriage.

At least that's how it was for me.

Whatever the case,

I'm really happy that you guys are single now.

Hey, you.

Don't cry.

And you.

Don't ever lose.

And as for me,

I'm going to keep being cool.

Seon-u.

You should be careful.

People say you're the one

who killed that guy at Gosan Station.

Really?

You know what? Just forget it.

You never let stuff like that get to you.

Hey, listen.

Even if you did kill him, pretend like you didn't do it.

And become the associate director again.

Just show everyone that you're the best.

Okay?

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers to us.

It's late. Why are you still up?

The guy who died at Gosan Station.

Did you know that guy?

-Who told you that? -I heard a police officer came to see you.

The kids at my school told me.

He used to be my patient.

That's why a police officer came to see me.

But you didn't kill him.

Right?

Of course I didn't kill him.

-My goodness. -Then why are people suspicious of you?

It's because they're bored.

Some people enjoy talking behind people's backs.

I'm sure you also have friends like that.

Kids always pick on the ones that get looked down on.

Why can't you live a comfortable life?

Why can't you live a normal life like the other moms?

What about me? Why do I need to live like this?

I didn't even do anything wrong.

I never wanted you guys to get a divorce.

And I never wanted Dad

to get married to another woman.

You're right.

Your dad and I are the ones to blame.

It looks like you're back to being a beginner.

I couldn't play often because I was busy with Jenny.

But once it gets warmer, you'll have to play with me more often.

I'd love to.

I won't be easy on you though.

By the way,

are you doing okay with Tae-oh?

Every time you ask me that,

it feels as if you're checking my homework.

Oh, really?

I'm sorry about that.

It can't always be good.

That's what I realized

after having been married for a while.

But I didn't know that before I got married.

If things don't feel right, you can end it with him whenever you want.

I'll take care of you

and Jenny no matter what.

I know that you're still not

entirely happy with Tae-oh.

I know that.

But I want to be responsible for the choice I made.

And I don't want you and Mom to worry about me because of my marriage.

A dad means the world to a daughter.

And Jenny also needs a dad.

You know what I mean, right?

No, I don't.

My goodness.

Let's just play nine holes today.

Why? Is it starting to get boring?

I want to finish early so I can eat with Tae-oh.

ALARM SOUND

What's the time?

-What time is it? -Are you crazy?

Why are you sleeping here?

I must've told the wrong address to the driver.

Can you cook me your homemade hangover soup?

Can you?

I love that I don't have to cook.

Stop talking nonsense, and just drink water.

My gosh, it's really nice to be home.

It's been a while since I slept so well.

Aren't you going to leave for work?

Yes, I should go.

But I need to see Seon-u first.

Why?

One of my friends from school is a cop.

This isn't his jurisdiction. He works in another area, but still.

I drank with him late into the night and asked him some stuff about the case.

And I noticed something strange.

What do you mean?

Gosan Station has security cameras everywhere,

but a server maintenance was being conducted that day,

so there is no recorded footage.

The CCTV cameras weren't running for 12 hours from noon until midnight.

It just happened to be their regular server inspection day?

No, they ran an inspection because there was a sudden error.

It wasn't a scheduled inspection.

That's why the cops are hesitant to close it as a suicide case.

They're suspicious that there might be someone behind this.

Do you think Chairman Yeo did something already?

Gosh, no way.

You've gone a bit too far, Ye-rim.

Let's be honest. This is a small city.

And as someone who has a lot of power in this area,

you know he can do anything he wants

if he puts his mind to it.

Chairman Yeo has enough power

to get help from the stationmaster or the chief of police.

Don't you agree?

It's the original copy. There are no copies of it.

You and I

will have to take this to our graves.

How is Da-kyung doing?

The last thing she asked me

was when Mr. Lee got off work.

We can't let Da-kyung find out.

We need to take care of this quietly. Do you understand?

Do you really think it'd be better for her to keep this quiet?

I apologize, sir.

No.

You do have a point.

I'll decide what to do

after I take a look at this.

What should I do about Ji Seon-u?

Hello?

What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?

No, you don't need to know.

There are so many things

you don't tell me.

I just have a lot on my mind because of what happened to Park In-gyu.

Why are you bothered by that?

You told me you had nothing to do with it.

I think Jun-yeong

might have to live with us.

Don't you think this is a bit too much?

I tell myself again and again that I shouldn't be suspicious of you.

I'm trying really hard to keep myself from losing it.

But that's all I get from you?

-What are you talking about? -Where's your wedding ring?

Have you decided not to wear it anymore?

And why was there blood on your dress shirt?

Why were you at Gosan Station that night?

Tell me.

What happened that night at Gosan Station?

I understand why you're being like this.

But it wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

It's true that I was at Gosan Station when he died.

But I didn't even get to see him.

Once I got there, he was already dead.

Then tell that to the cops.

Is that so hard?

Seon-u was there.

What are you talking about?

Are you telling me

that she killed him?

I don't know anything for sure. But I am

suspicious of her.

Either Min Hyeon-seo killed him, or they schemed it together.

That's why they sent me up to the rooftop. They did it to frame me.

Then why can't you just say that to the cops?

She's Jun-yeong's mother!

I can't turn his mother into a murderer.

So what?

She might've killed someone, but you're going to protect her

just because she's Jun-yeong's mother?

Let's have Jun-yeong live with us.

I'm sorry for not telling you the truth, but I just didn't want to worry you.

But I swear it wasn't me.

You need to trust me, Da-kyung.

You need to earn

my trust.

Why did you put a tail on Dr. Ji?

What kind of question is that?

I saw Mr. Lee that night.

-Oh, gosh! -My goodness!

-My goodness! -Oh, my gosh!

I hope you don't mess with Dr. Ji

just so you can cover things up for your son-in-law.

If you go any further,

I'll just have to be honest about what I saw.

What's your point?

Come in.

Did you want to frame me for murder?

Wouldn't the police suspect Tae-oh more

based on the circumstantial evidence and witness?

I honestly don't have that many connections

in Gosan.

I'm not powerful enough

to fabricate a case.

So why would I do that?

Then why aren't there

any CCTV footages of that day?

How would I know that? I'm not a police officer.

Wouldn't you agree?

I guess we'll find out

once we check the CCTV footages of the following day at Gosan Station.

The footages will show who came that day

to take the CCTV recordings.

What is it that you want?

The murderer

should neither be me or Tae-oh.

Because Park In-gyu

committed suicide.

Are you Mr. Lee Tae-oh?

DO MIN-JUN GOSAN POLICE STATION

I'm afraid you'll have to come with us.

I'm at the police station right now.

I'm sorry you had to meet the chairman because of me.

I no longer want to trouble you with my problems.

From now on,

I'll take care of my own problems.

HUSBAND

LEE TAE-OH

Let's go.

It looks like things aren't going to go as planned, Dr. Ji.

I'm sorry, but I don't care about Tae-oh's future.

How far must I go for you to trust me?

Do you know why I couldn't break free from In-gyu?

It's because I felt sorry for him.

He was never like that when he lived with me.

But he somehow looked really happy.

She's enduring everything because of you.

Because she's your mother.

You guys were holding onto each other.

It's time you cut him off first.

She may hate him,

but I still don't think there's room in her heart for anyone else.

What if I tell you that I regret marrying her?

What if I tell you that it's become dull and mundane?

Then will you also tell me how you really feel?
