What's with all the noise?

Hee Soo... Hey, Hee Soo!

(Accident)

(Emergency vehicle)

We have a critical patient.

She was conscious at the scene, but we lost her again on the way.

- Let's move her. Call the surgeon. - Yes, Doctor.

(Operating Center)

Ma'am, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Ma'am?

Jun...

Ho...

(3 days after the accident)

Myo Jin. Please wake up.

Are you with me?

Jun Ho...

What?

Jun Ho...

Jun Ho...

That's right.

It's me.

Ryu Jun Ho.

Myo Jin.

Wait...

(5 days after the accident)

You're awake?

How are you feeling? Are you okay?

Where...

am I?

You're in the hospital.

You were in an accident and got injured.

It might be hard for you to move right now.

An accident?

Luckily,

you're out of the woods now.

They said you pulled through because you're so strong.

Myo Jin?

Is that...

Is that my name?

Yes.

Myo Jin.

Ham Myo Jin.

My fiancee.

We're engaged.

Do you remember?

I don't remember.

Not a thing.

It's okay.

That's to be expected right now.

But it'll all come back to you slowly.

Are you going to stand there all day like you're being punished?

I'm enjoying the view.

If that's a Haworthia,

you should only water it once a week.

Have a seat.

Do you know?

You have this strange...

knack for commanding people's attention.

Everyone's desperate for attention on social media, right?

But...

you don't even seem to have to try.

You flatter me, sir.

But...

there's another reason I've taken a liking to you.

- Do you know what it is? - No, sir. I'd like to know.

Please tell me.

I sense ambition in you.

A man worth his salt...

needs to have a killer instinct. Just like you.

Who gives a darn about saving face and all that nonsense?

Am I wrong?

It's a shame what happened to Chairman Choi.

A real pity.

He was still in his prime.

You must be taking it hard too, right?

This is the list of judges. It was finalized yesterday.

Thank you, sir.

Now that I have my hands on it,

assume it's only a matter of time before it leaks to everyone else.

And how you play this is up to you.

I'll keep that in mind.

I wondered how to settle the score with Chairman Choi.

Play your cards right.

(Museum design competition: Judges panel announced)

I knew the judges would be heavy hitters,

but this is completely unexpected.

When word gets out that Oh Sang Il is a judge,

no one's going to be sleeping easy.

Myself included, of course.

Oh Sang Il?

Yes.

He's known for his rigid artistic standards.

He's not the type to get involved in this sort of thing.

The International Union of Architects...

hails him as the most inspiring figure in all of Asia.

We're heading to the hospital.

Is she doing all right, sir?

Other injuries...

seem to be healing up nicely.

I'd like to ask you about my guardian.

Ryu Jun Ho.

They tell me he's the man I love, but I can't remember him at all.

Even after a major accident,

how could I possibly not remember my own fiance?

So, you're frustrated that you can't seem to remember Jun Ho?

It's less about the memories and more about the emotions.

I know how much he worries about me and how well he takes care of me,

but I just don't feel anything.

It's like I'm just on the outside looking in.

When did you start feeling this way?

Ever since I first woke up and saw him.

The feeling hasn't changed at all.

I've tried to remember how it was before the accident,

but I draw a complete blank.

What's wrong with me?

(Hanguk Somang hospital)

I have some good news.

What is it?

This thing...

They said you can get off it next week.

I thought I had to use it longer.

Myo Jin.

They said you're healing twice as fast as most people.

Thank you.

- For what? - If anything had happened to you,

I would have...

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you.

This "dissociative amnesia"... What is that?

It's a symptom the brain exhibits...

as a defense mechanism against anxiety.

Patients forget things unconsciously completely involuntarily,

and it's common for patients who suffered a traumatic accident.

But she still...

doesn't seem to remember me clearly.

That's right.

As for Myo Jin,

she still sees even you as a stranger.

But still,

it's been a month since her treatment started,

and for her to still not recognize her own fiance...

Isn't that an incredibly serious situation?

No. To Myo Jin, everyone is a stranger right now.

Just think of how severe the shock must have been.

We see each other every single day. We talk every day,

and yet, she sees me...

the same way she sees a complete stranger.

How is that even possible?

(Absolute Rest Required, Medical Staff Only)

(Patient: Ham Myo Jin)

(Absolute Rest Required, Medical Staff Only)

According to the accident report,

Myo Jin was driving alone in the early morning...

when her car flipped over.

No matter how strong someone is,

the fear of death in that moment would've been overwhelming.

Just hang in there.

Everything's going to be okay.

(We oppose this outrageous construction.)

- Is that all you've got? - Shut it, you murdering jerk!

Bring it on, you scum.

Darn.

Kill me.

If you don't kill me today,

you're the one who dies.

By my hand.

What have you been doing to let things get this bad?

Listen, you're a lost cause.

- Just give it up. - I'm going to rip you to shreds!

Are you okay?

Yes.

Want a glass of water?

No.

So, how do you feel?

About what?

You're finally...

getting out of this hospital you're sick and tired of.

Now, instead of a hospital gown,

you can finally wear clothes you actually like.

That's a tough one.

This just isn't going to work.

I should just rebuild the whole gallery.

Just like that?

I gave it a vintage exterior, but it doesn't get trendy exhibits.

People judge a book by its cover.

I have to change it.

Starting with my whole approach.

Do you have anything in mind?

These days, installation and pop art are all the rage in Korea.

And more artists are specializing in them.

So the gallery has to change with the times.

So, what brings the ever-so-busy CEO Ryu here?

The museum design competition. You've heard of it, right?

Yes.

It's a pretty big deal.

People will be pulling strings with the assemblyman.

Anyone who knows he has pull with the Culture Ministry, anyway.

My dad hasn't mentioned anything to me yet.

Why? Are you thinking of entering?

For an architect like me, it's a dream project.

One I can't just pass up.

You don't need the experience or the connections.

And you certainly don't need the money.

So what's the real reason?

It's like why you rejected all those big company offers...

to stay here and find yourself.

Of course, a four-term assemblyman's daughter's logic...

must be far more profound than mine.

Be serious.

What is it, really?

It's a declaration of independence.

You want to step out from under the shadow of Mono Group?

Too dramatic?

You'll just have to swat away the pests, then.

(Hanguk Somang hospital)

(60 days after the accident)

It's a beautiful day, isn't it? You're finally getting discharged.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Any lingering pain or discomfort?

No, everything's fine.

Myo Jin.

You're here. You've been through a lot as well.

Myo Jin is the one who's had it the hardest.

Myo Jin, you've been through so much.

(Cognitive Function Test Results)

We've been running cognitive tests periodically.

Myo Jin, you have severe memory loss from before the accident.

You'll need to continue focusing on your treatment even after discharge.

I understand.

So what can she do every day that might help?

Try to get in the habit of taking notes and recording.

Sometimes, memories may suddenly resurface.

When that happens, just accept them as they come.

Even if they seem irrelevant at first,

they could be pieces of a very important memory.

So I should write them down every day, like a journal?

The method is up to you,

but it's best to start doing it right away.

Myo Jin.

Can you look behind you for a second?

Congratulations on your discharge.

You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment.

Freesias.

That's right. Freesias.

Do you know what freesias symbolize?

A new beginning.

I'll be rooting for your new beginning.

Thank you.

I can remember things like the names of flowers,

but why don't I have any memories of you?

Hello.

I'm Ryu Jun Ho, Ham Myo Jin's fiance.

Nice to meet you.

It's fine you forgot.

Because I remember it all for you.

Whether it be ten times or a hundred times,

I'll keep filling in the blanks for you.

But...

I'm only going to fill it with my own memories.

And pretend the rest doesn't exist.

My room is across the hall.

That'll probably be more comfortable for now, right?

Sorry?

I fell asleep next to you at the hospital...

and ended up with a black eye a few times.

You know,

minimalist designs are still in style.

They can look alike from a distance, but they're all different up close.

By using materials like wood or metal,

each one expresses its own unique character.

On its own, it looks very sleek,

but whether it all works together...

What is it?

It's just hitting me that you're an architect.

Was I being that boring?

No, not at all.

So did you design your house yourself?

Our.

Our house.

Our house...

Get well soon so we can travel abroad.

I'm sure that will lift your spirits.

Okay.

Think about where you want to go, so I can start preparing.

- Prepare for what? - You've never been abroad.

You told me you don't have a passport.

Hey, Myo Jin. Can you hand me that bottle?

To get the barbecue smell out.

Here you go.

Myo Jin.

Myo Jin. Are you okay?

The fire... Someone was in the fire...

Jun Ho.

What happened to me?

Tell me anything that comes to mind. It doesn't matter what it is.

A special anniversary, a cherished memory,

a treasured possession,

someone you miss dearly, or on the contrary,

someone you never want to see again.

A man.

He's yelling something.

Can you tell me where you are, Myo Jin?

I don't know where I am.

How are you feeling there?

I'm trapped.

I want to get out, but I can't.

I feel like I'm being dragged somewhere.

Why do you feel that way?

I feel like I've done something wrong.

Here.

Would you take a look at this?

The memory of your accident is what we call an episodic memory.

Anyone can suffer memory loss as a result of trauma.

In your case, it's not that your memories are gone.

Your ability to access them has been blocked.

Someone collapsed!

- Hey! - Are you okay? Hey, wake up!

Hey!

Gosh, a man so young...

What did I tell you?

I told you she wasn't going to go down that easy.

Now that she's out of the hospital, it's inevitable she'll come for you.

So what are you going to do?

Please, just stop being so stubborn and listen to me.

(Oral medication)

(Spicy ramen)

Seriously, how can you be so laid-back about this?

Don't tell me you think this is all over, do you?

"Oh, they've done their worst. They won't try anything more."

Just when you think that, you're hit with the exact same thing again.

Do you remember the name of that flower too?

You made that yourself.

I did?

When?

I'm not sure.

Judging by the faded colors, it must have been a long time ago.

Here. A new phone.

I'm number one on your speed dial, so call me anytime.

Okay.

I know how frustrating this must be for you.

And that it probably feels like things will never get better.

But that's not true. You'll get better soon.

It won't be as hard as it was in the hospital, either.

I'll make sure of it.

Shoot.

It's okay. Don't push yourself if you're busy.

But I had everything ready for our bike ride.

How about this weekend?

I think it's best if I go out alone. It's been a while.

Are you sure you'll be okay?

Why?

You think I can't find my way back home?

What was that? She's fine.

I'm always right here beside you.

Every time you look at this ring,

I want you to think of me.

Hey!

Let go! Let go of my purse!

Are you crazy?

What's your problem?

Yes!

Gosh.

- Goodness. - Dude, you totally scored.

Get lost.

It's on me tonight.

Hey.

- Gosh, just focus on your game. - Look over there, you punk.

Over there...

Hey.

"Architecture starts..."

"when two bricks are put together carefully."

"That's where it begins."

That's from CEO Oh at last year's Copenhagen conference.

That's exactly how I feel right now.

Don't tell me you memorized CEO Oh's entire speech.

How much time do I have?

I've asked for 30 minutes until the next lecture.

Let's finish within that time.

That's plenty of time.

I doubt CEO Oh would spend much time...

talking to a stranger like me anyway.

(Myo Jin)

Myo Jin. Sorry, I'm a little busy right now...

Hey, how many times does this make now?

Myo Jin.

Are you okay?

You didn't get hurt on your bike, did you?

Are you Ms. Ham Myo Jin's guardian?

It was you?

- You did this to her? - Sir, please calm down.

- Jun Ho. - Please calm down.

Gosh, this is so annoying.

This little punk...

- Sir, you can't do that here, okay? - Right.

I don't care if he's a minor. I'm not going to be lenient,

so I want him prosecuted fully.

I said, let go of me! Let go!

They say she's a murderer! Why follow her? You want to die too?

Did I kill someone or something?

What?

What that boy's mother said.

It didn't sound like she was just making it up.

She's the type to hit her own kid in public.

Why would you pay any attention to what she says?

Even if I have a vision of someone burning to death,

and people around here say I'm a murderer,

am I supposed to just think nothing of it?

That's not what I meant.

The doctors told me, remember?

To accept any memories that surface as they are.

But you shouldn't believe every nasty thing a stranger says.

Then what am I supposed to believe?

Did the doctors give me a list of what to believe and ignore?

You just need to be careful right now.

Don't read too much into everything.

- Here we are. Here we go. - Right here, this is it.

Here. Put it here. Right here.

Set it down here. Here. That's it.

- Let's go. - Come on, hurry. Let's go.

Come on, hurry!

Let's go. Hurry up.

Boss, we're all set.

Darn. That scared me sober. What's going on?

All right, guys. We're closed for the night.

We have to go home, too. Got to make a living, you know?

What is all this? After just rice wine and pancakes?

- We've been had. - What do you mean, "had"?

They drugged our drinks back at that bar.

- What? - What is he saying?

You're all so paranoid.

- For the room fee, - What?

the band,

and everything else... That comes to 3,000 dollars a head.

It's 12,000 in total.

Time to pay up, fellas.

I even gave you a room discount so it wouldn't be a burden.

Is this scum messing with us?

- Let's not argue. Call the cops. - Yes, go ahead. Call the cops.

- What? - What is it?

Check your phones.

Hey, those guys...

Once you pay up, we'll return these with a souvenir print for you all.

Hey, you got a death wish?

Give me my phone, now!

- Hey. - Yes.

You want me to tear this whole place apart?

Yeong Gu, time to play!

Are you going to pay or not, guys?

Yeong Gu, you have three minutes.

- Yes, boss. - Yes, boss.

- Darn. - Darn it.

- Don't come near me. - Seriously...

Seriously, don't do this.

Hey, you jerk.

You jerk! You!

No, don't!

Why you little...

You jerk.

Darn!

I handle the VIPs personally.

- I know, right? - That place was amazing.

Right?

It was huge. I loved it.

Hey, do I know you?

What are you staring at?

You two just look so good together.

Your wife is absolutely gorgeous.

If you've got nothing better to do, go home and get some sleep.

- Okay. - Goodness.

Gosh, let's go. Come on.

- You two make a beautiful couple! - Let me go.

- Is she crazy? - Baby, calm down.

- What a psycho. Let's go. - Seriously.

Honey, who is she? Why is she acting like that?

Do you know her or something?

How would I know her? You saw her too.

Hey, why are you taking it out on me?

See? What did I tell you?

What? What did you tell me?

I said we should've gone to mine, didn't I?

This totally ruined the mood.

But your place is so cramped.

Then maybe you should get me a bigger place.

- Fine, I'll get you a condo. - Really?

Yes.

What is this?

(2 unread messages)

(The photo turned out great, didn't it?)

The photo turned out great, didn't it?

What is this?

I was trying to tuck you in,

but I guess I woke you up instead.

It's okay.

Did you take your medicine before bed?

Yes.

But whenever I take the medicine,

it just makes me feel awful.

I have these nightmares,

and they feel way too real.

They do?

That's odd. It's the exact prescription.

All right, I'll call the hospital and find out.

Some detectives are here.

They said they have some questions about your accident.

I'm Detective Woo Jong Rok from Namyeong Police Station.

And I'm Detective Lee Seong Tae.

- Please have a seat. - Thank you.

My wife was just discharged, so she's still recovering.

- So please keep it brief. - Understood.

We already heard about your condition from the hospital.

That's why we're just here to confirm a few things.

The hospital?

Yes. From the doctor who did your surgeries...

and your treatment.

Oh, right.

Regarding the accident on Jebu Island that day...

Can you tell us what happened?

Are you able to remember anything now?

It's still...

Detective, that's a pretty broad question.

Just say whatever comes to mind. There's no pressure.

Anything that happened at or near the villa.

Anything at all.

The villa...

On the morning of the accident, where were you headed?

I can't remember...

So you still don't remember anything about the accident?

I'm sorry. I guess I'm just not myself yet.

Detective, if you're only here for a routine inquiry...

Wait. Just a moment.

Did I, by any chance,

cause an accident?

An explosion from a gas leak...

caused a fire at the villa. At that exact time,

your car rolled over in an accident.

The two incidents were too close...

in both time and location to be unrelated.

What?

Detective, are you implying...

that my wife...

is a suspect in that case?

A driver passing the scene of the accident...

testified to seeing Ms. Ham's car leaving the area of the villa.

Myo Jin, are you okay?

Didn't they tell you at the hospital not to agitate the patient?

Why do you have to do this right here, right now?

Please leave. Now!

Our apologies for the intrusion.

We wish you a speedy recovery, Ms. Ham.

Myo Jin, are you okay?

Give me a break. "I don't remember."

But what if Ham Myo Jin's condition is more serious than we think?

Hey. Don't make me laugh.

How long has it been since the accident?

If she's so sick, why was she discharged?

Gosh.

Something's not right. I can't just let this go.

Pull Ham Myo Jin's case files. Go over all of it again.

There's no physical evidence left.

I told you, we never found the dashcam.

What about her personal effects? Clothes, shoes?

They were badly damaged in treatment and were all disposed of.

Then what on earth are we supposed to do now?

Why would the chief even take on a dead-end case like this?

It's not like he asked for it. Team One passed the buck,

so we got stuck with it.

There's one left here.

Even the smallest things are getting on my nerves.

You've always had a nose for this stuff.

- What was that, you punk? - Sir.

Look at this. You've done your homework.

A settlement agreement.

And what is this?

We already agreed on 30,000 dollars yesterday.

For a settlement to be legally binding,

the payment must be made first, correct?

- Now, wait a minute... - Hold on.

But you two met again yesterday. At the W Wine Bar in Cheongdam.

Gosh, you're something else.

A real pro, I can tell.

I'm impressed myself.

You two have led me all this way with your tireless sex drive.

What's your secret?

An affair?

Excuse me? I have idols sliding into my DMs.

So stop barking up the wrong tree and mind your own business.

Gosh, you're really something.

I don't know what your job is,

but threatening helpless women to extort money from them...

Goodness.

With 110,000 followers,

you're quite the influencer.

Designer brands, fancy restaurants, trips abroad.

I'm so jealous.

This guy, I swear.

Maybe I'll pay your page a visit.

But instead of a DM,

I'll leave a photo in the comments for you.

A real sexy one.

What took you so long?

(Transfer 20,000 dollars)

(Pin)

Hey, I sent it. Check your account.

Must be nice, taking 50 percent every single time.

Here we go again.

I'm bringing in all the jobs. Isn't this just exploitation?

You've still got a long way to go to pay off your debt, I imagine.

I must've been crazy.

Why am I stuck with you, you leech?

I'm the only reason you're starting to act like a decent human being.

If I had left you, you'd be missing a limb and begging on the street.

Hey! Why do you have to be so nasty?

What, nasty?

I saved a worthless piece of trash drowning in gambling debt like you,

and you call me nasty? Complaining about your 50 percent?

I got caught helping you and lost my job as a dealer.

I paid off the guys about to gut you and saved your life. What was that?

Feeling ripped off now?

I have your bankbook and seal, and the IOU you wrote that day.

So go on, try me.

If I sell you to loan sharks, you'll end up as chum.

Fine, whatever.

My bad luck streak is finally over, you know?

(Ryu Jun Ho)

You may be done with your bad luck,

but I'm the one who's about to get lucky.

What?

The color faded nicely. Guess I have to dye it again.

What a shame.

(I can't seem to remember...)

Yesterday, in the woods,

a boy tried to steal my purse.

- Let go! Let go of my purse! - What's your problem?

He's a local kid,

and after a scuffle with him, we ended up at the police station.

His mother...

acted like I'd murdered someone.

It was as if everyone already knew,

and the looks on their faces said it was true.

They say she's a murderer! Why follow her? You want to die too?

Today, some detectives came to see me.

But I still can't remember anything,

which they find strange.

No,

They're suspicious of me.

So you still don't remember anything about the accident?

The villa that burned down, and the person who died...

Everyone thinks it's all my fault.

Can you tell me why you think that?

It's just...

I have this feeling I did something terribly wrong.

But the more I think about it,

I don't think it's my amnesia that's tormenting me.

Then what do you think is causing it?

I think it's my emotions.

I see a woman burning to death,

and the man who tried to kill me in my dream... It all feels so real.

I had this vivid sensation...

that I was really there with those people.

I'm home now, living with my fiance,

but I can't shake the feeling that something is terribly wrong.

This...

is more than just memory loss, isn't it?

It's okay. You can tell me.

If I keep coming to therapy like this,

get treatment, and just hang in there,

then someday, my memories...

will come back, right?

Absolutely.

Doctor.

We're engaged.

- Remember? - I don't know.

Nothing at all.

- I was the one. - About what Jun Ho said...

I've realized one thing about myself.

I think it's my emotions.

From the moment I woke up in the hospital until now,

You're getting out of this hospital you're sick and tired of.

I hoped I'd remember,

but I just felt more and more helpless.

Our home.

Our home.

It's pointless.

This waiting is getting me nowhere.

I'm done...

waiting for my memories to return.

Tell me right now. Who did I supposedly kill?

Who would've ever imagined?

That someone would commit murder in that blaze.

And to think you two were so close.

You're talking about Hee Soo, right? I want to know who she was.

I don't think you two were that close.

Myo Jin!

Her condition is a lot worse than what you described.

This is why I said it's dangerous.

- Blackmail? - He's the person you hired.

Myo Jin has been acting unlike herself.

Shouldn't you bleed a little too?
