(Pay Phone)

My gosh.

Goodness.

Are you all right?

Seriously, are you trying to get yourself killed?

Tell me this is a dream.

Please...

Please tell me that all of this...

Please tell me all of this is just a dream.

Please...

(Episode 2)

Sir.

Cancel everything on my schedule and book my surgery.

Do not tell anyone I have haemorrhoids.

Do you understand?

Don't do that!

Ms. Bong.

Take this to the pharmacy.

Bong...

Where did she go?

Where did she go?

Hold on.

Hey, it's me. I need you to look into something.

Among the patients who were recently hospitalized at Hanguk Hospital,

see if you can find Lim Se... No, I mean, Bong Chung Ja.

Get in.

Hop in.

Are you really a cop?

This isn't fake, is it?

If you don't believe me, then just get out.

Why are you getting angry?

I'm so upset that I literally skipped 25 years overnight.

I don't even know if I have a family.

I don't know if they're alive or dead.

I'm a total mess.

I woke up old and wrinkly. Do you know how I feel right now?

Do you even understand a single tear I shed?

They let you go on the condition of attending outpatient appointments,

so don't skip your appointments.

Where are we going?

Home.

Your current address.

And where is that?

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

Was I studying for a civil service exam?

These days, most people living in a gosiwon...

are those who failed at life while trying to pass civil service exams.

But why?

Why live in a tiny gosiwon...

when they don't need to study?

Wouldn't you know the answer better since you live here?

Oh, right.

Whether it's a gosiwon or a shanty town,

everyone's just living as best as they can.

No way.

Do I own that building?

Lim Se Ra. You can find out...

Why do I keep saying Lim Se Ra? Goodness.

Why not go inside and find out for yourself, Ms. Bong?

- I'm off. - Wait.

Do I have to go inside alone?

You're the accident victim, and I'm the officer handling the case.

This is as far as our relationship goes, okay?

I only came to take your statement and ended up in this mess...

Well... I'm sorry.

I didn't deserve to be dragged into this. Do you understand?

But what are you going to do? I don't remember a thing.

Clearly, I can't take your statement.

I've already done more than I should, so I'm leaving now.

See you never. You hear me?

Don't skip your appointments at the hospital.

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

My gosh.

What is it? Is something behind me?

What was that, lady?

You scared the life out of me.

Do you know me?

Where on earth have you been? I couldn't reach you.

Something...

Something suddenly came up, so...

I was worried, thinking you ran off.

"Ran off?" Me?

(Reception)

But why?

Many people run away because they're behind on rent.

Hey, sweetie.

I suddenly can't remember.

Where was my room?

Oh, right. Room 406.

Right.

Sweetie.

I can't remember my door code.

Nothing annoys me more than being bothered while I'm eating.

The noodles are probably all soggy by now. I'm so mad.

Nice!

Lim Se Ra lived here?

Stay away!

What am I going to do?

(Police Station)

Goodness. There's trash everywhere.

Goodness.

Goodness.

Clocking in or out?

Come on, look at me. Can't you tell?

You're clocking back in right after you got off?

I thought you handed off the accident victim yesterday,

and that was it.

Don't even get me started. I went to take her statement and...

My gosh.

This is why...

you should've stayed in the Criminal Investigation Department.

Look at me. I'm holding my spot.

You started out in the Traffic Department,

whereas I've just slipped up a little now. Get it right.

I'm keeping it steady,

but you slipped up and ended up way down there.

You think that's funny?

Hey, tame your temper.

If you show signs of a middle-aged bachelor,

even the women who were coming to you will make an illegal U-turn.

Is today just not my day?

Nothing's going right, starting with that accident victim.

Why? Is there something off about that person?

Not just off. She's totally lost it.

Could it be trauma from the accident?

She said she lost her memory,

but maybe she's a pathological liar.

She said she was Lim Se Ra or whatever.

She's insane!

You should've run her through the system...

and locked her up for fraud right away.

My point, exactly. How dare she claim to be Lim Se Ra?

Seriously.

(Wild Ju Seung Pil)

What?

Why is this here?

(Wild Ju Seung Pil)

Hey. This woman said she was Lim Se Ra?

This is nuts.

(Resident Registration Card, Bong Chung Ja)

Did you lose your memory or something?

Sorry? What?

You even forgot how to charge your phone.

Don't tell me you don't know how to turn it on.

Hand it over.

My gosh. How did you do that?

Facial recognition.

Come on. Why not say it has fingerprint recognition too?

(Contacts)

How come I don't see Dad's number here?

(Sister Baek Ja)

You still haven't been able to reach Ms. Bong's family?

They said they were too busy and told me never to call again.

Then they just hung up.

Are you sure they're her real family?

We had a similar situation in the past.

We had an ICU patient whose family never showed up.

So, what happened?

Turns out,

the patient attempted suicide.

My family abandoned me,

and I was thrown out of the entertainment industry.

What kind of life...

have I been living?

I'm hungry.

(Room 406 Tenant)

I'm starving.

(Uri Ramyeon, Spicy flavour)

Oh, my.

That thing looks like a notebook. What is it?

It's a tablet PC.

It's a PC?

So, it's a computer?

You could say that.

Oh, then...

Can I use this for a moment?

I need to check something.

This is so cool. How could such a tiny thing be a computer?

What's the name?

- Lim as in "limbo." - Lim.

(Lim)

Se as in "self."

Se.

- Ra as in "ramyeon." - Ra.

Okay.

(Lim Se Ra)

Yes, that's it!

"A former star who disappeared."

"Where is Lim Se Ra?"

What is this? So, do they know or not?

Fake news is everywhere these days.

How could the news be fake?

Cyber trolls fabricate stories just to get more views.

"Cyber trolls?"

Then, where can you find real news?

The most recent article was from more than 20 years ago.

I can barely find anything.

I stopped working 20 years ago?

No way.

For the past 25 years...

So, I fell off the face of the earth after that accident?

I vanished without a trace?

But why? What happened?

The film starring the beloved actress, Go Hui Yeong,

has made it to the Cannes Film Festival, and at the same time,

she has achieved the remarkable feat of being nominated for Best Actress.

In 1997, "The Day and Night in You..."

No! Turn the TV back on! Put it back on!

Initially, she didn't receive much attention,

but after landing the lead role...

in Director Choi Young Guk's "Sad Voice,"

which was originally supposed to star Lim Se Ra,

her acting skills were finally recognised.

Is that true news?

Yes, it's being shown on TV.

She won Best New Actress that year...

and has since solidified her place in various dramas and films.

All eyes are on whether she can win Best Actress...

- Go Hui Yeong... - at the Cannes Film Festival.

Is going to Cannes?

Amazing, right? I'm a huge fan of hers.

My gosh. She is pretty.

(Wild Ju Seung Pil)

Hey, you just clocked in. Where are you going?

- Let me go. - Hey.

You got caught up in this mess chasing after Ju Seung Pil.

What will you do?

I'm not going to him.

Then where are you going?

I need to return a lost item.

(Sister Baek Ja)

Why isn't this working?

Why won't this work?

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

(Reception)

I'm here to see Bong Chung Ja.

And who might you be?

Do I really need to share personal matters?

Then you can find her personally.

I can't reach her by phone.

Is her phone out of battery again?

(Reception)

Chung Ja?

She was here just a minute ago.

- Chung Ja... - I...

saw her go upstairs.

- "Upstairs?" - The rooftop.

- Which way is it? - That way.

No.

Stop!

Stop!

Are you okay?

- I thought I was going to die. - Goodness.

(Construction Waste)

My gosh.

Sir.

Oh, my gosh. Sir!

Oh, no. Wake up.

Sir!

CPR.

I learned it during a shoot.

How do I do CPR again?

CPR.

Oh, no.

Sir!

Wake up, sir!

What do I do?

Come on. Wake up.

Stop it.

He's alive.

I almost died.

That's my line.

I saved your life, okay?

I'm your lifesaver.

Strictly speaking, you're not a lifesaver.

It was more like an attempted murder.

"Attempted murder?"

You're calling it murder when I saved your life?

That's not something to say to a police officer.

Save my life, my foot.

Who was the one who pushed me off...

when I was only trying to get a signal on my phone?

You could've done that from your window,

and not on the rooftop!

The window in my room doesn't open, you know?

Oh, no.

Sir. Are you really a cop?

What kind of police officer falls down while saving a person?

"Sir?"

I may be old,

but I'm not old enough to be called "sir" by you,

ma'am.

- "Ma'am?" - Yes, ma'am.

Or were you hoping for a "miss" at that age?

Someone rotten on the outside and hollow on the inside...

shouldn't say that.

Have you ever seen how I look on the inside?

I may not look it, but I'm quite fit, okay?

Fit? No way. You're as skinny as an anchovy.

"Anchovy?" Goodness gracious.

Shall I prove it to you?

"An anchovy?"

You look as flat as the ocean,

so I bet there's nothing to see.

Goodness.

Fine. I'll show you how far I am from an anchovy.

- I'm doing it. - You're insane. What are you doing?

- I'm serious. - Are you mad?

I'm taking my top off for real. Look.

- Here. - Stop it.

Get away from me!

Go!

Leave me alone! Please!

Ever since meeting you, my life has become a mess.

Just leave me alone! Go!

I beg you! Go away!

Go!

At 50 years old,

Go away!

I've become tangled up with this troublemaker.

Just go! Please!

What are you two doing in there?

What on...

No, we weren't doing anything.

Anything, my foot.

Of all places, you shouldn't do that in a truck.

No. Hold on.

It's nothing like that, sir.

It's not.

- Get off already. - Right.

Sorry.

- I'm sorry. - I can't believe this.

Sorry.

Remember what you said when you left?

Pretending that was the last time we'd meet,

you said, "Let's not meet again."

"I've done everything necessary."

But why are you here again,

messing with my already miserable life?

Just why?

It's not like I wanted to stop by, okay?

I had something to give and ask you. I'm here for a reason.

Give me what?

Here. I found it in the car.

Take it.

(1 dollar)

Since you gave it to me,

I guess we'll never see each other again. Bye.

No, wait.

What? What is it this time?

Well...

Do you know a guy named Ju Seung Pil?

I didn't mean to pry.

But when I was looking for the ID card,

I came across the business card in your wallet.

Take a look.

(Ju Seung Pil)

"Wild Ju Seung Pil?"

What's this?

It's so old-fashioned.

Do you remember what it is?

I'm suffering from memory loss.

Have you forgotten? Or are you teasing me?

Or what? Is this a new type of scam?

The name might sound familiar,

give you a hunch, or...

feel like a family member.

Ju Seung Pil or Jo Pil Seung. I have no idea who he is.

Nor do I want to know who he is.

(Wild Ju Seung Pil)

"Two, six, six, eight?"

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

"Bong Dumpling?"

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

(Bong Dumpling Shop, Korean Cuisine)

Turn left shortly.

(4.80 dollars)

Sir.

That's the total taxi fee, right?

So, nowadays, you can know the total price upfront?

Are you from the 1990s?

It's the base fare.

The base fare is 4.80 dollars?

Oh, sir. Stop!

I'm sorry.

How is it five dollars just to go from there to here?

Prices are crazy these days.

To think the taxi base fare costs...

more than jjajangmyeon.

(Constant Monitoring for Fare Evasion)

(No Fare Evasion)

(Bong Chung Ja)

I'm working right now. Call me later.

Here, 15 penalty points.

Congratulations.

(Bong Chung Ja)

Really, this old woman...

(Traffic Police)

(Bong Chung Ja)

Great work.

Seriously, this old woman.

How tiring.

(Bong Chung Ja)

For goodness' sake.

What do you want?

How many times must I say it?

I need to verify your identity.

I didn't bring my ID card with me.

Then tell me your resident registration number. I'll verify it.

I don't know my resident registration number.

Keep this up, and you'll leave me with no choice.

Shall I call the police?

Hello.

- I didn't make the call. - What happened?

I...

called for him.

What's the matter?

That lady didn't pay her fare.

But I can't verify her identity.

That's why she's here.

(No Fare Evasion)

Unbelievable.

What kind of fine is 30 times the amount?

The unbelievable part is that I paid for that fine.

I didn't even have lunch yet.

Why on earth didn't you pay the fare?

I feel totally wronged.

Everyone tapped their phone,

so I did the same.

Did you register the transportation card on your phone?

Register what?

I told you I lost my memory.

Even so,

how can you forget how to ride the subway?

I'm sure the subway existed even 25 years ago.

I only rode the subway when I was a child.

Do you call that an excuse?

I wasn't someone who could just ride the subway, okay?

Is that so? Fine, whatever.

Why didn't you verify your identity?

Your name and resident registration number were all they needed.

Why did you make me, a busy person, come all the way here?

If I reveal my personal information and articles are published,

will you take responsibility?

Really, this old woman.

"Old woman?"

When will he stop calling me that?

I'll pay you back, okay? Don't worry.

(Block contact?)

(Bong Chung Ja)

How stingy.

Why is it so hard to get to Bong Dumpling Shop?

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

(Takeout available for all menu items.)

Baek Ja.

Is it really you, Baek Ja?

Baek Ja.

You've changed so much.

My dear sister. Baek Ja.

Why are you here?

What about Hanguk University?

Why are you here making dumplings?

Answer me. Why on earth are you making dumplings?

I heard you went to the hospital after an accident.

But are you completely out of it? What's wrong with you?

Really.

Hold on.

What happened during the 25 years?

I supported you...

with top-tier teachers...

and even intensive private tutors.

And you became the owner of a dumpling shop?

Seriously

Of all businesses,

why a dumpling shop?

You could've opened a pasta place or a bakery.

What about Dad?

Don't you dare...

say something ridiculous like losing 25 years of memory.

Did you forget everything?

No, right?

Everything?

I'm back.

Hey.

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

Goodness.

Head straight to the academy, and don't skip class. Okay?

Okay.

You had a child?

What's wrong with Aunt?

She lost her memories.

For real?

I thought that only happened in dramas.

Exactly.

Seeing it in person is shocking, isn't it?

You. Aren't you my niece?

Simply nodding to your aunt?

Is that any way to greet me?

Because you're like this,

your kid turned out that way!

You know what?

I can tell just by looking.

You don't even have a husband, do you?

Did you get a divorce or something?

You're not...

a single mom, are you?

Oh, my gosh.

You've totally lost it.

- Seriously. - You little...

No matter what, you should've given your kid...

- a proper education! - Darn it.

You've lost it!

She couldn't even look me in the eye before.

How can someone change so much?

Time is a scary thing. That's for sure.

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

Who are you?

How long are you going to lie around?

Don't you know one person slacking off...

makes things harder for the rest?

It's been several days already.

Tell me if you want to quit.

I'll hire someone new.

What? No, I'll come.

I've got to work.

- I was just about to go. - Hurry up.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Where exactly do I need to go?

(Obong Middle School)

(Cafeteria Rules)

You want me to cut all these by myself?

There's not that much today.

Just ten buckets of kkakdugi.

My gosh.

I don't know how to use a knife.

I've never used a knife before.

A knife?

I don’t even know how to slice fruit.

How would I know how to cut radishes?

Just how mentally unstable are you?

Judging by how skillful I am with the knife,

I must've used it quite a lot.

Now, mix them.

Of all the jobs I could've taken,

why did I have to end up here?

Oh, my neck...

And my back...

It hurts.

Really?

You still have a whole bucket left.

- Dig in. - Thank you.

- You want a lot of rice? - Yes, please.

Make sure to eat everything.

- What's for lunch today? - It's jjajangmyeon.

- Stupid. It's jjajangbap. - Hi.

I don't want it.

- You go first. - What's wrong?

Right.

I'm her one and only aunt, but just look at me now.

Even I'd be embarrassed.

- Lim Se Ra! - Lim Se Ra!

(Bong Da Hee)

Dig in.

- Okay. - Just one more, please.

Sure.

- Split them up evenly. - Got it.

Why do we have so many leftovers?

- Take it. - Pack some for me too.

The stir-fried pork.

I'd rather have stir-fried pork or jjajang sauce.

It's heavy. Take it.

- Is this enough? - A little more.

Pack them evenly.

The stir-fried pork might leak if you don't seal it well.

Oh, my back...

Getting older really makes my back hurt.

(Priority Seat)

Are you kidding me?

Oh, no!

Ma'am!

Press harder with the mop!

Over there. It's on the steps too.

Come on.

Darn it.

Good grief.

I didn't do it on purpose.

If you were going to bring kimchi into the bus,

you should've sealed it tightly.

It takes forever for the kimchi smell to go away.

Come on. Mop it harder.

Goodness.

Darn it.

Why did she pack it up in a plastic bag?

Hello?

Did you dump kkakdugi on my daughter?

Oh, I see. You must be her mother.

By the way, you got the wrong idea.

I really didn't do it on purpose.

You attacked her with kkakdugi because she didn't give up her seat.

Oh, no. Attack her?

I assure you it was an honest mistake.

I won't let this slide.

My daughter is traumatized,

so she'll need to see a psychiatrist.

I'll get you the medical report and sue you for damages.

Consider yourself informed.

You'll sue me?

Hello? Excuse me.

(Trainee Recruitment, Audition for the 13th Batch)

("Jewellery Store Girl")

- Bong Da Hee, are you ready? - Yes.

- Hello, sir. - Hi.

- Hello, sir. - Hi.

She seems familiar.

Do you know her?

Her performance is good.

Becoming an idol star with that face would be a waste.

She has the face of an actress. Yes.

Look who it is.

How did Go Hui Yeong, Korea's favourite actress,

have the time to call me?

Me?

I'm not sick. I'm strong as an ox.

I was just on vacation.

Goodness.

I'm so touched that a superstar is worried about me.

Of course, we should. When should we meet up?

Now?

Well...

No, what do you mean by that? I'm on my way now. Just wait.

- Let's go. - Yes, sir.

Gosh, she picked the worst time.

- Darn it. - Be careful, sir.

Gosh. That hurts.

How am I supposed to sit down? Goodness.

Do I look too polite in this pose?

Darn it.

This is good.

I look too arrogant in this pose.

Gosh, what do I do?

Darn it.

You're here.

Aren't I super polite or what?

The texture is nice and chewy since it's wild-caught. You know?

Try it.

I can't eat raw food.

You still don't know that.

I ought to hire a new secretary.

You're the face of 2ONE Entertainment...

and the nation's favourite actress.

How could he not know your food preferences?

I have no choice but to fire him immediately.

I was meaning to fire him anyway.

I'll fire him right now.

That little punk. Where's my phone?

It's just...

I was expecting a call from you any moment.

But you must've forgotten as I didn't hear from you.

So I decided to call you first.

What could I have forgotten?

Don't play coy with me.

Even the rookie hairstylist at the salon knows...

I only have a month left in my contract.

Yes, I know.

I'm on top of my game, so I prepared this for you.

Gosh, I didn't ask to meet for this.

But I am curious.

Hey.

You haven't changed at all over the last 20 years.

You're still the same scumbag.

Seriously.

Hui Yeong. You should watch what you say.

Hey.

I must still be Lim Se Ra's shadow in your eyes.

Isn't that it?

You're getting the best deal this industry has ever seen.

You must think about your age.

Even an S-Class...

gets sold on the cheap after ten years on the road.

How much longer are you planning to milk this?

Seriously.

Hey. Do you not have any respect...

for the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards?

If scoring high-fee commercial deals is what you want,

don't build up actresses or actors. Build up models instead.

Exactly!

Don't you remember what I did to build you up?

What do you mean by that?

In the long years we've worked together,

there has been trust, hope,

and secrets.

I think I recently saw someone we know.

Has it been 25 years?

It's already been that long...

since Lim Se Ra's disappearance.

Why did you splash the liquor on me?

Come on.

You know that you were just filling in for Se Ra.

But what if Se Ra returns?

My gosh.

That ought to be quite interesting, right?

(Exclusive Management Contract with 2ONE Entertainment)

Darn it.

Get some rest.

You know that you were just filling in for Se Ra.

But what if Se Ra returns?

Die!

from the 19th to 21st sessions of the National Assembly...

is garnering attention as he ramps up his campaign...

to run for mayor in Seoul.

Senior Executive Assemblyman Min...

recently resigned from his local assembly seat...

and expressed his intention to run for mayor in Seoul...

as it was time to focus on Seoul.

- Excuse us. - All right.

could be an important variable that may change...

(DUI Checkpoint)

We're performing breathalyser tests for DUI. Please cooperate.

Bring your mouth closer to it. And blow harder like this.

No. Don't burp. You...

We're performing breathalyser tests for DUI.

All right. Go ahead.

Did you drink? Turn off the engine and give me your driver's license.

I didn't drink.

It's the hand sanitizer.

I see. Unless you drank the sanitizer,

show me your license.

Come on. I told you I didn't drink! You tax-funded pig.

Why won't you believe me?

I see. Please hand over your license to the tax-funded pig.

Hey, did you see me drink?

I'm asking you if you saw me drink!

With continued refusal to cooperate, you could face...

up to 5 years in prison or a fine of up to 50,000 dollars.

Darn it.

I'll give you 50,000 dollars. That will solve everything, right?

I'm good.

- You little... - If you keep this up,

I'll arrest you for obstruction of the performance of official duties.

Arrest me then. Okay? Just do it, you jerk.

Come on.

Darn it.

- Are you all right? - My back. Hold on.

A cop just assaulted me!

Let go!

I told you I didn't drink!

Now, it's for this side.

News that Actress Go Hui Yeong's contract...

with 2ONE Entertainment has matured at the end of the month caused...

its previously skyrocketing stock price to plummet.

Go Hui Yeong has maintained her status as the A-list actress...

- for many decades... - "2ONE?"

- Did he say 2ONE Entertainment? - and contributed significantly...

- Could you turn up the volume? - to the agency's earnings.

- Hurry. - Hold on.

Rumours that the contract renewal may fall through caused...

a sudden drop in the stock price of 2ONE Entertainment.

- According to 2ONE Entertainment, - Come on.

The agency is ready to continue working with the actress.

Please don't move.

How can a company be in crisis over just one celebrity?

Why is this company fragile?

Go Hui Yeong isn't just a mere celebrity.

Her net value probably surpasses that of all the celebrities...

from the agency combined.

Do you know a lot about this industry?

Well...

My first love was a very famous celebrity.

Who?

She was everyone's first love, Lim Se Ra.

- How many weeks has it been? - Right?

I heard the accident was quite serious.

What if she never wakes up?

No way.

I wanted to get an autograph, but she was in a coma.

So I couldn't in the end.

I see.

So you worked at Daemin Hospital.

How did you know?

If she continued her acting career, she would've been a global star...

and outshone Go Hui Yeong.

I'll activate them now. All right.

Please don't move. They will come off.

When actors start doing physical work,

they lose their glow in an instant.

Darn it. Should I just quit?

I'll get you the medical report and sue you for damages.

No.

I must work.

Why does the driver want to know my number?

"A settlement?"

- Sir. - Hey.

The Obong Intersection case wasn't on the PDA yet.

If you're busy, should I take care of that?

Why would you do that? It's my case.

There's a deadline for it. But you still haven't done it.

It's not that I don't want to do it.

It's just...

I'm just not done with the investigation yet.

Investigating the case is our job.

You just have to give us a case report.

My gosh. I know.

I know that too.

I'll hand it over to you soon, my dear junior. Okay?

Go on.

(Traffic Department)

Did you check the GPS history of the truck driver...

from the Obong Intersection?

No, I only checked the dashcam footage...

and the nearby CCTV footage.

What?

You are supposed to review the GPS history first...

to see if it matches the victim's statement.

I took the memory card just in case.

- I'll check it right away. - No, it's fine. I'll do it.

Come on.

It could be a tiny studio or a house in the shanty town.

We all have to live somewhere within our means.

What's this punk up to?

- Nothing seems fishy at all. - Gosh.

You startled me.

Nothing looks suspicious with this, so let's eat.

Listen.

He kept circling around the victim's residence...

before the accident.

He must've had some errands to run nearby.

Why did he wear a hat in the truck? And it was late at night too.

Maybe, he's thinning.

On top of that, he kept on chewing his gum.

Doesn't this look odd to you?

You know what?

I chew tons of gum without realising it when I'm sleepy.

You even kick in your sleep.

- Come on. I'm not joking. - I'm not joking either.

Write it up and hand it over to the investigators.

Don't go the extra mile.

I need to get the statement from the victim.

You don't know when she'll get her memory back.

You keep obsessing over her,

so you could investigate Ju Seung Pil, right?

Don't stir up trouble, or you'll end up losing your job.

Keep a low profile and just focus on issuing traffic tickets.

That's how you'll keep your place here.

You're not going to eat?

When you were bringing in the driver,

did he seem off to you in any way?

I can't say. The driver wasn't himself.

He was having a mental breakdown.

You didn't find anything unusual in his blood test?

No.

But I got a strange vibe from him.

He made a scene asking what would happen to him...

if the victim died.

I told him not to worry...

because she wasn't going to die.

Is she really okay?

She didn't get any injury at all?

How is that possible? I crashed into her pretty hard.

Are you sure she's all right?

But don't worry.

I think the settlement with the victim will go smoothly.

What do you mean?

He said he wanted to reach a settlement with the victim...

and asked for her number.

So did you give it to her?

"A settlement?"

Do you mean you'll pay the settlement?

Sure. Gosh, no.

You want to reach a settlement. I ought to meet you then.

Did he say where they were going to meet?

No, he didn't say.

(Bong Chung Ja)

Why did he ask me to meet at a place like this?

Yes, I'm almost here. Where...

What's this about?

Why didn't you answer my calls? Where are you now?

I'm out to take care of some stuff.

So where are you now?

Why are you yelling at me?

You need to go back to the gosiwon. Hurry.

Why? What's wrong?

Stop asking me why. Just go back already!

Fine, I'll go.

When will you get here?

So when are you coming?

You must hurry.

Bong Chung Ja.

Can you hear me?

Bong Chung Ja!

(Epilogue)

(3 weeks after Lim Se Ra's accident)

- Please say something. - Exactly.

- You have to give us something. - Tell us what's going on.

- How many weeks has it been? - Right?

I heard it was a serious accident.

Let me get in there just this once.

No. Please go back.

Why?

Oh, right. I'm also a detective. All right then.

- You can never pass through. - Why not?

I'm a detective!

Come on.

What's that?

(Intensive Care Unit)

- Get him out of here. - Wait.

Lim Se Ra. You must wake up!

You said we'd meet again. Keep that promise!

Hold on. I'm going to wait for you!

Give me a second.

Okay? I'm going to wait for you. I mean it.

Hold on.

- Lim Se Ra, I'll wait for you! - What's going on?

- You must wake up. Okay? - Come on.

Wait. I won't even eat! I'll wait for you!

Lim Se Ra, I'll hold you to our promise!

I'm going to wait for you! Hold on.

Lim Se Ra! You must wake up!

(Ambulance Only)

(Police, Busan Bunam Police Station, Officer Dokgo Cheol)

(My Troublesome Star)

Don't follow me. This is embarrassing.

I don't want to follow you either.

But you keep putting yourself in danger.

Why are you looking into the car accident from 25 years ago?

I think he was secretly following you.

Who would do that to me?

Who are you?

Did you hear?

Lim Se Ra resurfaced.

- Do you know why she hates me? - Go away.

Mom told me you ruined her life.

I must take back...

my place.
