[Previously on Return.]

(Episode 25)

Yum Mi Jung's case.

I heard the regional investigation unit took over the case.

There's no name tag written on the case.

Whoever sticks in a flag first gets it.

I'm glad.

Am I growing on you?

Did you know you sounded concerned about me just now?

Did I?

Let's not become attached. That won't do any good for both of us.

Well, suit yourself.

I'll be blunt.

You know Ms. Jung In Ae, right?

Kim Jung Soo from Kim Soo Hyun's case 10 years ago.

- Hey, he's gone mad. - What should we do?

What kind of law is this?

19 years ago, Jung So Mi's hit-and-run case in 1999.

Choi Ja Hye.

I don't agree with your decision,

but that doesn't mean I don't understand.

There was a connection between you two.

You both agreed to avenge the people whom you both resent...

and be each other's alibi. Is that correct?

How does Kim Dong Bae fit into this?

I don't know. I don't understand what you're saying.

There's no use in denying it.

I recently saw the deceased medical examiner's daughter,

Ko Sun Hwa, at Dong Bae's house with my own eyes.

I tried to figure it out,

but Dong Bae doesn't have any connections with you two.

Answer me. What's the connection?

I wonder how epically you must have messed up...

for Young to go all berserk.

I know, right?

You were Young's favorite on the squad.

Exactly.

This? The lawyer lady on TV gave me this.

Can you give it to me for a second, please?

No.

She said I should wear it until it breaks.

Was her name Dal Rae?

Let's say a minor murdered your daughter.

Na Ra. Answer my question. Not as an attorney, but as a mother.

Does that boy deserve a second chance?

Think long and hard.

The one who exposed your dirty secret to Na Ra...

was Choi Ja Hye.

What if she messes up Dal Rae?

Doesn't that change the situation?

It's okay. I can do it myself.

Sit down.

I want to do it for you.

I'm sorry for troubling you.

What's your problem?

Don't be rude.

I'm here, so leave.

You're the one who should leave.

Please leave. Now!

I'll do that.

It's okay. There's no need.

I'm going with Ms. Choi,

so go alone.

Na Ra!

There's no need.

I'm busy anyway. I just came here to help you.

Now, someone's here whom I can trust to help you.

It's better for me this way.

Ja Hye.

She needs to rest for a few days,

so please be attentive to that.

Don't come to work for a while. That's an order.

It won't be "for a while."

Moreover, I hope my family will never...

see you again. Never.

Goodbye.

Ja Hye.

Don't go.

Ja Hye.

Why did you call us here?

It's the first time you've gathered everyone.

Is it?

What is this about?

Not much. The four of us haven't gotten together...

since that incident.

"That incident"?

You know.

You know, and I know. All four of us know.

Hey.

You got your memory back.

You knew I had.

Come on.

How lame.

I wondered what it meant to be myself,

but there was nothing.

Up until now,

I lived without knowing who I was.

I leaned on you and relied on you.

You guys let me,

so that's how I lived...

regardless of it being right or wrong.

Bum.

Tae Suk.

And In Ho.

I think...

we've done too many bad things.

Ever since...

19 years ago.

Please take your seats.

November 4, 1999.

You stole liquor from a store, drank at Kim Hak Bum's vacation house,

stole the caretaker's car, and drove it.

After killing a girl in a hit-and-run accident,

you all fled from the scene.

This is your sentence.

- Kang In Ho. - Yes.

- Oh Tae Suk. - Yes.

- Kim Hak Bum. - Yes.

- Seo Joon Hee. - Yes.

You must each serve 50 hours of community service.

Do not forget your feelings of repentance that you feel now.

And Tae Min Young.

You are sentenced to two years in juvenile hall.

From now on, let's be accountable...

for what we did.

Let's turn ourselves in.

Sure.

I think you're right.

Joon, let's go.

We're leaving.

Thanks...

for listening.

Hey.

Joon Hee is coming on strong.

Maybe he's using drugs again.

Bum. Tae Suk. In Ho.

What were you thinking?

They'll retaliate against you again.

They won't. I'm going to trust them.

You can't trust them...

Why do you look so down?

Is it because of Na Ra?

Actually, Joon Hee,

remember the incident from 19 years ago?

The mom of the dead girl...

is Choi Ja Hye.

Choi...

Choi Ja Hye?

Yes. I don't believe it entirely either yet, but...

there are several things that don't sit right with me.

What will you do about Joon Hee?

What about Choi Ja Hye?

Bum.

I watched a classic movie before.

It's about a man killing a woman...

in order to enter high society.

Hey. Why are you talking about some movie right now?

Just listen.

In that movie,

when the man kills the woman,

he stages it to look like a mugging.

In conclusion,

the murder...

ends as a perfect crime.

Hey.

What are you trying to say?

Bum.

When you kill someone,

how can you disguise the murder?

Accidental death...

or...

something like a mugging from that movie.

If you were the guy in the movie,

which would you choose?

- Do you mean it? - Yes. Choose.

Sure. Okay. If it were me...

Accidental death.

Bum.

Take care of Joon Hee.

Let's talk.

I'm tired. I want to sleep.

It's important.

Honey.

How did you end up defending me at trial?

Does that matter right now?

Na Ra.

- Hak Bum says... - Okay.

Tell me yourself.

If you can't tell me, don't talk to me.

How could you bring that up right now?

You have no consideration for me.

Then should I go to Demeter and ask myself?

Ms. Choi offered me the chance,

and I had to clear your name.

I remembered her business card that I got at Demeter's party.

So I went to see her.

Is that...

when she asked you?

It was under the condition that I co-defend you.

She invited us to the law firm's grand opening party...

and dragged Na Ra in.

Choi Ja Hye.

What do you want?

If you have nothing more to say, I'm going in.

Demeter.

Don't go back there.

This isn't something you can give orders about.

It's my job and my life.

I'm not...

asking for a favor.

Don't be mistaken.

I took you back...

not as my husband, but as our children's father.

After Kang In Ho was arrested for Yum Mi Jung's murder,

an article was published.

Taeha is the only group that starts with T among the top 10 companies.

They wrote about the relationship between the victim and Kang In Ho...

and even our investigation in detail like they've seen everything happen.

As it so happens, the reporter who wrote the article was...

the only one that tried to reveal the truth...

- about the case 19 years ago. - Hello.

I'm a reporter from Korean Journal. My name is Joo Chan Young.

Why are you here again?

I had a question.

How did you end up writing the article for Kang In Ho's case?

I got it through my source.

Give me your email address and the password.

Why don't we help each other out here?

You're a hassle.

Detective Park, it's me.

I just sent you an email address and the password.

You should see an email he received on December 10.

Track the IP address of the sender,

and get me the home address for it.

(New Message, Detective Park)

(13, Hang-dong 8-ga, Jung-gu, Incheon)

"13, Hang-dong 8-ga, Jung-gu, Incheon".

Whom are you looking for?

How did Tae Min Young find you here?

Was it five months ago?

He came here out of nowhere.

He asked me to give him a job. He said he wanted to make money.

But I told him I couldn't hire him since we lack money as you can see.

For three months, he cleaned the office without asking for money,

so I gave him the job.

Actually, he's quite useful. Most of the time, he's slow-witted,

but he got me some great tips.

That's why our agency managed to print a few exclusives.

When is Tae Min Young coming today?

He said he's taking a day off since he's under the weather.

(Administration, Admittance, Discharge, Payment)

[Kocowa Ver] E23 Return "Think Long & Hard" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Mr. Tae Min Young.

Mr. Tae Min Young.

He doesn't even fold the blankets after he wakes up.

I ought to teach Dong Bae a lesson.

Mr. Tae Min Young.

Mr. Tae Min Young!

Mr. Tae Min Young.

- What's going on? - I'm sorry.

(King Kong)

Mr. Tae Min Young.

(The day of Jung So Mi's incident, November 4, 1999)

Hey, look at this!

Darn it.

Why are you guys so noisy? I can't concentrate.

Take a look at that. You won't believe it.

So do you like Mi Jung?

I'm sorry.

It's natural for people to like other people.

I'm sorry, okay?

But not Mi Jung.

I'm sorry. I won't like her anymore.

Then show us that you're reflecting on what you've done wrong.

How?

My gosh.

But stealing is a crime.

Not knowing your place is a crime too.

Come on, go. Hurry.

Go.

(Public Payphone)

Mom?

- Hey, hurry, you punk. - Hurry.

Let's call the cops, guys. Please?

Please!

Let's just throw her into the water.

Mi Jung.

Stop it. There's no need to cry.

Leave the room for a second.

I told you to get out!

Which one of you drove?

From now on,

he was the driver.

You'd be lucky if no one finds out.

But if they do, it's him.

Got that?

Did you all get that?

You tried to stop him from driving.

And you all got in the car because he forced you to.

Okay?

Everything is settled now, so lighten up.

Since you guys came over to have some fun, you should have fun.

Here it goes.

1, 2, 3.

- Hey, the handcuffs hurt. - Hang in there.

Hey, you.

You don't know how little detectives make, do you?

Even if it's not to your liking, I hope you enjoy it.

Hey, guys. This is why you must be careful when making friends.

They are juvenile delinquents anyway.

Well, you see. Juvenile delinquents...

under 14 years of age won't even face any punishment.

Even if they are accomplices,

only Min Young, whose birthday has passed, will face the charge.

I heard Min Young has a younger brother too.

Follow practical interests, and settle this matter.

Okay?

Who drove the car?

In Ho did.

The other kids say you drove.

The other kids say you drove.

Let me ask again. Who drove?

In Ho drove.

Kang In Ho drove!

Why you...

You punk. Why don't you understand?

(Murder of an Old Money's Mistress)

Hello.

I'd like to see something in black.

This and this. What do you think?

I'll take two of that.

Is this for me?

I couldn't come to your grand opening party,

so I came today.

Thank you.

Hyacinth.

They say purple hyacinth...

means "I'm sorry."

I...

never learned how to apologize appropriately.

I'll try from now on.

Did you do something wrong to me?

Joon Hee.

I just...

wanted to give them to you.

If you don't like them, just throw them out.

You must be busy. I'll go now.

Joon Hee.

What are you doing here?

I know you aren't feeling well. Thank you for making time for me.

It's interesting that you're worried...

about me.

Is it?

I plan to turn myself in.

Is that what you decided?

You may lose much more than you think.

Will you be okay?

I thought about that.

Thank you...

for letting me judge and decide on my own.

Joon Hee.

May I ask you something?

Would you explain what Hak Bum had said?

I won't include you, Daddy.

You took my bracelet when I didn't want you to.

Sorry.

I'll buy you a prettier bracelet next time.

I mean it.

So put me in there too, okay?

It depends on what you do.

Hey. Come here.

You're so cute.

Come here.

Na Ra.

Dal Rae, will you do something for me?

Go to your room, and pack some clothes.

Okay.

Don't touch Dal Rae again.

There was a car accident.

In Ho drove,

but we were all in the car.

When was that?

It was the autumn before we turned 14...

in Taein.

If you were 13...

Do you mean 1999?

(1999, Taein, 9-year-old child car accident)

("9-Year-Old Girl's Body Found on Taein Beach")

(A 9-year-old girl's body was found on the rocks.)

(November 4, 1999, "Happy Times")

Mr. Kim.

How have you been?

You're still getting along...

with Tae Suk, right?

Hey you. If a mutt...

doesn't listen to its master,

that's the day it dies.

You're so annoying.

What's wrong?

Why do you keep cutting the meat with your left hand?

Stay out of it!

I'm leaving.

I won't be coming home tonight.
