- Gi Cheol, it's now. - Hold still. Wait.

- Come on. - Gosh.

Gosh, honestly...

I told you to wait.

Gosh, that curry smells great.

What?

Come on. You shouldn't be like that.

Where did Myo Jin go? It's time to eat.

Did she go fishing with Meoljjeongi again?

Meoljjeongi this, Meoljjeongi that.

I'll go get them. Set an extra place at the table.

That's no way to be.

If you want to dote on him so much,

then you two can go eat out. Just send our daughter home alone.

- Stop bringing freeloaders here. - A freeloader?

Are you going to keep this up? Is Meoljjeongi a stranger to us?

Of course he is.

Is he blind? Does he have no arms or legs?

He's a good-for-nothing bum who can't make a living at his age,

and he's a bad influence on our daughter.

Have you already forgotten?

When we first moved here, who stood up for us to the locals?

From teaching us to grow seedlings to introducing us to clients.

Who do you think we have to thank for our livelihood?

You really don't remember at all?

I'm going to go get them.

I'm so grateful I could just cry. An ocean of tears.

You're really good at catching fish.

Why can't I do it? I haven't caught a single one yet.

Now, why can't Myo Jin catch any fish?

You said I rush things and don't wait patiently.

Right.

So if you know what the problem is, why can't you catch one?

It's because fishing is hard. I can catch other things just fine.

Is that so?

Then should we go try and catch something else?

You said you can catch other things, didn't you?

Myo Jin.

Whether you're catching a fish or a wild boar,

the method is always the same.

How so?

You have to think like the thing you want to catch.

When it might get hungry.

Where to wait for it, and what kind of bait to use.

And then what?

You set a trap and wait.

The bait is different, but the method is the same.

And lastly,

there's just one thing to remember.

Don't rush it. Be patient.

Exactly.

Myo Jin! Meoljjeongi! Hurry home and eat!

Your mom made curry. Hurry up, you two!

- Curry? - Curry?

Let's go!

(The Hunt)

Gosh, hounding me first thing in the morning.

- What about Detective Woo? - He said he had other plans.

After all those times he called me nonstop,

he's a no-show when it counts. What a character.

Did anything turn up?

Nothing from our team yet.

I went over Choi Hee Soo's autopsy report again,

and it's definitely a homicide.

Anyway, we'll just have to wait a bit longer.

Even at a fire scene, something's bound to turn up.

I'm dying to know who's behind this.

You don't see this kind of thing unless it's done by a seasoned pro.

Could an ordinary person pull this off?

If they were smart and meticulous.

Hard to say.

Then again, you can learn anything on social media these days.

Sometimes they're even better at it.

Oh, right.

I heard they found a woman's footprint at the scene.

A woman's footprint?

But get this, it was a barefoot print.

The shape and size confirm it's a woman's,

and there were traces of blood mixed in. Did you know that?

No, I didn't.

But how could a footprint from back then be found only now?

Ridiculous. Some idiot overlooked it when processing the evidence.

Gosh, this is what happens when people are so sloppy.

No wonder the whole team got written up and warned.

How could they miss evidence that was properly submitted?

Oh, right.

The tech in charge here said there was a reason for that.

Detective Gang, was it? He came to the NFS by himself...

and submitted just that piece of evidence separately.

You know Detective Gang?

- Yes. He came here himself? Alone? - Yes, that's what I'm telling you.

He asked the tech here if he knew anyone at his precinct.

When told no, Gang said, "Perfect," and they just gave it to him.

Anyway, since you're here, you should ask the tech about it.

Okay, thank you!

Sure.

Detective Gang did?

That jerk! He came through again.

So you've confirmed it too, right?

Yes. I begged, and they faxed it. You should compare it.

Okay. Good work!

Let's see here.

Height 166.7cm and 165cm.

Foot size 240mm.

It's 240mm.

(Foot size: 240mm)

Bingo!

Thanks, Detective Gang.

That guy... Unbelievable.

(Call from Myo Jin, 17)

(Call from Myo Jin, 17)

Which means the villa incident was a murder disguised as a fire.

Based on the wound's location, depth, and pattern,

it was likely a murder motivated by a personal grudge.

I told you, Ham Myo Jin is completely back to normal.

So isn't it creepy that she's pretending not to be?

Based on her condition right now,

her memories could come back at any moment.

(Myo Jin)

Myo Jin.

Why have you been so hard to reach?

Where are you right now?

We need to talk.

Oh, you do?

I'm almost there, so let's talk then.

You're at home, right?

No.

Then where are you?

It's a place you know too.

After all this time, you still don't get me?

Do you really think I'd ask you for a favor for nothing?

Why are you here bothering me again and making a scene?

Just hear me out first.

Then you can get mad or tell me to get lost.

Honestly, "favor" is just a nice way of putting it.

Do you think this is all just for me?

So you're telling me you're okay with this?

With what those scumbags are up to?

Don't you have anything better to do with your time?

- Unlike you, I mind my business. - "Other people"?

Right. "Other people."

The kind who destroy someone's life, then live it up and act innocent.

Darn it.

Let's be honest. That money you got back then?

It wasn't even enough to buy their dog food.

The payoff for all those years you did in prison...

What is this? I'm getting upset for you.

All this is from "dog food money."

It's my own little paradise, and that's enough.

To hear you talk, anyone would think you're some kind of saint.

Cut the nonsense and tell me straight.

Why...

are you so hell-bent on destroying her?

All right, fine.

Let's lay all our cards on the table.

And settle this once and for all. Okay?

First, we get our hooks into that brazen wench Ham Myo Jin...

and use her to rattle that thief, Ryu Jun Ho. That's the plan.

That jerk, Ryu Jun Ho.

Seeing him nurse Ham Myo Jin back to health,

he's completely head over heels for her.

That figures.

So in the end, this is about squeezing money out of Mono Group?

Exactly. Now we're talking.

Just because of some girl,

you think he'll fall for your blackmail?

The incoming chairman of a multi-billion dollar company?

See? This is what I'm talking about.

You really have no idea what's going on.

Chairman Choi and his daughter...

get burned to a crisp and die overnight.

So why are Ham Myo Jin and Jun Ho suddenly joined at the hip?

See?

You still haven't figured it out, have you?

That incident you took the fall for back then...

and what really happened.

What are you talking about?

It wasn't Chairman Choi who was behind it all.

I'm telling you, it was those kids.

Those kids?

- I can explain everything. - No, don't bother.

I already know what you're thinking and what you're going to say.

Myo Jin, can't we...

just look forward?

The fact that we love each other...

Let's just hold on to that.

Okay?

You're the one who told me.

That no matter what, you'd always be by my side.

- If it was just the two of us... - Think again about why I said that.

The reason isn't what you think.

And it'll be more than you can handle.

No.

I know.

I know what you were waiting for all this time.

(Subject approached Choi Hee Soo's fiance.)

(Chairman Choi funded Ryu Jun Ho.)

(The company was named Mono Architecture.)

(Using Choi Hee Soo and Ryu Jun Ho...)

(to find Chairman Choi's whereabouts)

(Neither of them suspects a thing.)

I looked into Chairman Choi Young Ho.

That's a relief.

Me...

or Hee Soo...

We were just your way in.

Your way in to meet Chairman Choi.

Myo Jin sure seems curious about my dad.

All she ever talks to me about is my dad.

That, and the fact that we love each other,

are two different things.

Unbelievable.

The way you say that so brazenly, as if you've done nothing wrong.

No!

I know I was wrong.

I'm not running from this. I'll pay any price.

Whatever it takes until you're satisfied!

(Namyeong Police)

(Seoul Namyeong Police Station)

Detective Woo.

Ham Myo Jin's warrant was issued. Haven't you heard?

Aren't you happy?

We have solid evidence, and now we have the warrant.

Let's say we lock up Ham Myo Jin. What happens to Ryu Jun Ho then?

We still have no hard evidence against him.

Yes, that's what I'm worried about.

It's just...

Detective Gang, did you...

The hard drive with the CCTV footage from the villa...

It wasn't destroyed in the fire.

Someone took it beforehand.

Took it? Who?

Of the four so-called big shots, two of them are dead.

That leaves two, doesn't it?

- Let's go. - Where to? Right now?

This guy reads us like a book.

If he thinks Ham Myo Jin is in danger,

do you think he'll just sit back? There's no time. Let's move!

Yes, sir.

You're right.

Until I met you,

I'd never truly lived my own life.

The wealth and fame that everyone was so jealous of?

They were the ones who gave it to me.

But it came with a condition.

Obedience.

Dad!

You need to think before causing this kind of trouble.

Should I spell out for you exactly what's happening now?

I'm sorry, sir.

You're on the first flight out tomorrow morning.

Until I send someone for you,

you lay low and keep quiet.

Good job.

From now on, you're the one who protects Hee Soo.

But know your place.

If you don't, I'll be happy to teach you.

I wanted to get away. I really did.

I would have given everything back...

just to escape from them.

But would that have even been possible?

Right?

You knew.

But you accepted me anyway, didn't you?

That's right. Perhaps, separate from my revenge,

I could have shared the future you wanted.

If I hadn't gotten my memory back...

- and never learned the truth. - Myo Jin!

Some things you can never forget, no matter what.

Like my parents...

whom you killed that day.

No matter what I say,

I can never take that back.

Or be forgiven.

I'll spend my life making it right. Please, just give me a chance.

Please.

Let's not look back. Let's just move forward, together.

Give it up.

I'm not the crazy patient you think I am anymore.

Do you really have to do this?

Our whole future...

Are you going to throw it all away just like that?

I can't listen to this anymore.

- You're disgusting! - Please, Myo Jin.

If you just walk away now,

both you and I...

are going to regret this.

You're going to pay for what you did.

That recording you just heard...

Everyone else is about to hear it too!

So that's the consequence...

you meant?

- Where's Ham Myo Jin? - She's on the second floor...

What was that?

Wait, hold on.

Ham Myo Jin!

This is the room.

- What happened? - I swear, she was right here.

One second.

Darn it.

Ativan?

Ryu Jun Ho isn't answering his phone either.

They rarely answer when together, so I'm guessing that's the case.

First, we get our hooks into that brazen wench Ham Myo Jin...

and use her to rattle that thief, Ryu Jun Ho. That's the plan.

That jerk, Ryu Jun Ho.

Seeing him nurse Ham Myo Jin back to health,

he's completely head over heels for her.

That figures.

So in the end, this is about squeezing money out of Mono Group?

You know, this place is nice. It has character.

You really have a knack for finding these places.

I don't mind since no one will see us out here,

but are you sure you're okay with this?

What are you talking about?

What, are we planning on killing someone today?

That's not what I mean.

It's just that they'll be able to trace Ham Myo Jin's movements here.

So what are we going to do about that?

The cat's worrying about the mouse now, is he?

By the way,

does Ham Myo Jin even know how to get here?

Out here in the middle of nowhere?

Somehow, she found out the moment I was released from prison.

She came after me with a knife in less than a week.

Look. See this here?

She even gave me this nice souvenir.

Darn. I told you, she's one vicious wench.

Just you wait until this is all over.

I'll bury her myself in a nice, sunny spot.

Is that her car?

Yes, that's her.

- Or maybe not? - Who else would it be?

She's right on time.

- Right? - Okay.

Head over there,

and you'll find those two scums I told you about.

They said they're heading out after work at the construction site,

so they won't get spooked if a truck shows up.

You want me to ram them with my car?

These guys are sharp,

so don't let your guard down for a second.

You have to finish this in one go.

Boss. It's me. Masse.

You know how I work.

You know how many guys I've made disappear without a trace.

And there's one more.

Come straight here when you're done. To the shop. Got it?

Gi Cheol, I'm going to hang back,

so you just get Ham Myo Jin out of the car.

Got it?

Just stay here. It's fine.

She thinks she's just meeting you, though.

I told her I'd be with a client.

You did?

You know, we're bound by more than just chance.

- What are you on about? - I've lived like a dog all my life,

and now I've even found a friend to go to the grave with.

What a darn luxury at the end of this lousy life!

- Let go! - Come here!

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

Let go of me!

She's a kid who had her life ruined because you scums tricked her!

And yet,

you want me to hand her over to a piece of trash like you?

What are you fighting for, you darn punks?

Let me go...

If you want to die, then die alone, you scum!

Trash like us...

deserve this!

Gosh! Darn it!

Are we too late again? What on earth is going on?

Sir. Both their phones are off.

They're definitely trapped in there.

Darn it!

Choi Hee Soo...

Sir.

Is this some kind of anesthetic?

It is.

The kind used for general anesthesia.

A Kutumin derivative...

Ativan and Kutumin...

Ham Myo Jin and Ryu Jun Ho are together.

Why would they need that?

I've always thought...

that you losing all your memories...

ultimately meant...

you and I...

were destined to be the only ones left.

Destiny...

isn't the right word.

It's a delusion.

I guess so.

When we first met,

I felt that you...

felt the same way I did.

I really did. Of course,

I'm sure it was all part of your plan,

but that's when I made my mistake.

If only...

I had never said those words...

(The day before the accident)

Jun Ho.

Why don't you sleep in a little?

Do you have to go to the airport already?

Yes, I was just about to head out.

I'm worried.

That you'll disappear while I'm in Germany.

But you said it's a conference you can't miss.

Can you promise me one thing?

What is it?

That no matter what happens,

you'll never leave me.

You're thinking about them again, aren't you?

They're like family to you. But to me...

Just promise me that.

That no matter what really happens,

you won't leave me.

Every time I ask you this,

it's always the same.

I've never once heard the answer I want.

But I'm right here by your side.

- I'm not going anywhere. - But I still...

never once...

heard you say that you love me.

What if...

it was just the two of us...

in the end?

That's what's going to happen.

I'll make sure of it.

But Hee Soo...

It's her birthday tomorrow.

When it's just the two of us, I wish we could just talk about us.

- But... - Chairman Choi got back last night.

They're probably together right now.

So don't worry.

- Enjoy. - Thanks.

Myo Jin.

Sorry.

Chairman Choi Young Ho is back in Korea.

Are you sure?

Tomorrow's Hee Soo's birthday, and he missed it last year,

so he promised he'd be here for it this year.

- Jun Ho confirmed it. So it's true. - This is our chance.

Jun Ho left for Germany this morning for a conference.

Just Choi Young Ho and Choi Hee Soo...

should be at their villa in on Jebu Island now.

This is a godsend.

How can I help?

No.

- I'll handle it from here. - Don't be reckless.

They're not to be taken lightly.

I'm prepared for the consequences.

Choi Young Ho.

If I can just kill that jerk with my own two hands,

I don't care what happens to me.

Don't rush into it. Take your time.

Those were your words once. Don't forget that.

- Hello? - It's me.

- Jun Ho? - Yes.

You're there already?

No, Mr. Kim went to Germany in my place.

How could someone else attend the conference for you?

It's fine, I took care of it.

Something urgent came up, so I'm in Japan.

I just have to take care of this, then I'll see you later tonight.

Tonight? Around what time?

Pretty late.

I'll call you back from this number.

(Calls)

The phone you called is turned off. Please leave a message at the tone.

(The day of the accident)

(LPG)

Look who it is.

Ham Myo Jin.

Fancy seeing you here.

It's been a while.

I doubt you came because you missed me.

What is it? You have a question for me?

Or did you come here to gloat?

Sorry, but it's neither of those.

I have nothing left to say to you.

Really?

I see.

What is this? Trying to beat me to the punch?

You really think I still don't know about you and Jun Ho?

Think whatever you want.

I couldn't care less about you two anymore.

Look at you, all grown up.

Our little Myo Jin...

- I'm so awkward at this. - Come on, strike a pose.

- A pose? - You saw what I did.

I think they do something like this.

Should I just say what's on your mind?

If you want him so bad, you can have him.

I'm sick of him now anyway.

I'll admit, I thought about it for a second.

About what to do with you two.

Should I let you go?

Or keep you around?

The decision is always mine to make..

You've figured that much out by now, haven't you?

Switch your hands. Go on, switch it up.

Look handsome, act like we're close.

Are you serious? Hey, you still look good, though.

Looking good.

Do you know what my wish is?

Let me take a picture.

- Hurry over. - To go back to that day...

- Look. One, two, three. - and start it all over again.

From the very beginning...

Jun Ho...

can never escape from me.

Without my permission, the two of you can't do a thing.

That day...

Do you know what happened?

The weather's so nice. Everything is so beautiful.

Come on, smile. I said, smile!

What's wrong? Why the long face?

To look at you, anyone would think you were dying.

Hasn't it sunk in yet, even after seeing this?

We're really going to America now. You to Brown, and me to RISD.

Aren't you happy?

Are you really going to keep this up?

Why are you being so serious?

I feel like I'm some charity case going to study abroad.

- I'm not sure about going so far... - You idiot.

I told you I worked it all out with my dad.

- So what? - Tuition and expenses are too much.

And it's going to cost this much for years to come.

How can I be so indebted to him for all that?

Then get a part-time job there.

Study hard and get a scholarship.

See? There's nothing to worry about.

I actually already did the math.

It'd barely be enough to buy my own books.

Idiot.

You're serious?

Do you really think I'd let you struggle like that?

My dad said it himself.

Pay him back after you've made it big.

So what's the big deal?

- But still... - Just be quiet!

So you'd better be good to me.

Or else...

Or else what?

You could always just join the army like an idiot.

You really better be good to me.

Hey, pull over. Now.

We've been drinking, you're drunk!

I don't want to. Who cares? There's no one around.

It's dangerous! Pull over! I said stop!

Gosh, why are you always so serious?

You never let me have any fun.

I'm not going to listen to you anymore.

Stop this insanity and pull over now!

No! Who do you think is out here in the middle of nowhere?

Let go of me!

I'll do what I want!

Please, just stop it.

The cherry blossoms are beautiful, aren't they?

Don't.

What are we going to do if she finds out it's dead?

Our Myo Jin...

She's going to be an absolute mess. Oh, dear.

This is just so upsetting.

And what did you decide to do about your fractured arm?

It's fine. It's nothing.

What do you mean, "it's nothing"? It scared me half to death.

Who drinks and drives these days? And they were so young.

So?

What did they have to say for themselves?

Unbelievable.

They brought up money first thing.

They offered to pay me anything as long as I didn't report it.

For kids so young to have that kind of mindset...

So what about our dog?

- What? - What'd they say about our dog?

They didn't care someone was hurt. You think they'd care about a dog?

Gosh, the nerve of those kids.

Shouldn't we teach them a lesson before they cause a bigger accident?

Yes.

Right. I told them to get ready because I was calling the police.

Told them they'd learn their lesson in jail.

I even took pictures of everything on my phone.

And drunk driving laws are so harsh these days.

And to take it that far,

ruining their futures seems a little much.

Oh, for goodness' sake.

I know, I know. Call the police? As if.

I didn't even file a report.

But those kids were really something else.

- Hee Soo. - This is all your fault! Get lost!

I said, get out of my sight! We're both...

driving drunk without a license.

So much for studying in America. It's all over.

My whole life is over!

My dad's going to kill me.

Hey, what are you going to tell my dad?

Are you just going to stand there and say nothing?

Is your mind completely blank right now?

Are you out of your mind right now?

What about the promise you made to my dad?

You got me into this mess, and you have nothing to say?

I'll figure something out.

Shut it!

He filmed everything...

and took the bottle with our prints. He said he'd give it to the police.

The only reason we weren't arrested is because I refused to go.

Why would you admit I was drinking, you idiot?

Why?

Now you've messed everything up, what exactly can you do about it?

I know.

I'm the one who's supposed to fix things like this.

I even promised her father I'd look out for her.

I'll take care of it myself.

Because that's what I'm here for.

I have to do it for your sake.

That's the right thing to do.

It was supposed to be a perfect day.

That day was my birthday, and the day before that,

we'd gotten our acceptance letters from America.

For both of us.

Hello?

What am I going to do?

You two...

did it, right?

What?

Did Jun Ho tell you?

Answer me.

- Did you do it? - I'm asking if he told you!

Gosh, that crazy jerk.

Jun Ho was the one who set the fire.

Jun Ho is the one who killed those people.

Why?

What for?

You really have to ask? Imagine if word got out.

Everyone would've come after me.

Without knowing any of the facts, they'd all just tear me apart!

It wasn't supposed to blow up like that.

I admit I caused the accident,

but I admitted my mistake,

and I even offered to pay them whatever they wanted.

But they kept threatening to have me thrown in jail.

But that's...

not a reason...

to kill people.

They didn't deserve...

to die...

like that.

Like I said.

From that moment on,

I had my reasons.

Now you get it, don't you?

What I was going through.

- Can you understand my pain? - That's your reason?

- For killing those people? - I already told you!

We'd just gotten acceptance letters to one of the top schools in the US!

And that's...

a reason to kill people?

People with nothing to lose...

all think like you. Of course.

What?

You...

cried when you first saw my art at the exhibition, didn't you?

You said it yourself.

That you could feel the sorrow in my paintings,

my passion,

and my talent. That you could feel it all so vividly.

That it was like nothing you'd ever felt before.

You're insane.

What if those people had ruined everything for me?

My paintings...

They wouldn't exist in the world today.

Can you even imagine that?

Listen. Those people have nothing and nothing to lose.

Do you know what kind of people they are?

They just wait for an opening.

They lie in wait to find fault with people who have money.

When they get a chance, they attack and tear you apart like animals.

That's exactly what they did to us that day!

Nobody in this world has nothing to lose.

They were someone's father and someone's mother!

What's that?

Honey!

Honey, there's a fire!

Fire! It's a fire! Hold on!

Honey, wait, just wait.

Hey!

Oh, Mom!

Mom! Dad!

- Myo Jin! - What? Mom!

- Myo Jin! - Mom!

Myo Jin!

Honey!

Mom!

Mom, no! No!

No, Mom!

Myo Jin, get out now! I'll get your mom out of here!

- Get out! - Get out!

- Get out! - Get out, Myo Jin!

- No, I can't go! I can't leave! - Get out, Myo Jin!

- No! - Myo Jin, go!

No! Honey!

- Dad! - Come out!

- No! Oh, no! Dad! - Stop!

- Dad, no! Oh, no! No, Mom! - Myo Jin!

No!

Get out!

Myo Jin!

You'll die if you go in there!

- You'll die too! - Oh, Dad!

Dad!

No!

No!

(Reverse)

Choi Hee Soo and Ryu Jun Ho. It can't be a coincidence.

Revenge is never just about getting even.

Want me to give it to you? That gift?

You have to remember.

Because of some darn memory? It's in the past. What's it matter?

He went to the vacation home to save Choi Hee Soo.

And he nearly lost his life in the process.

But my heart remembered you and showed me what I have to do.
