Previously on Return.

I think we've done too many bad things.

Let's turn ourselves in.

You are under arrest for the murder of Yum Mi Jung, Ahn Hak Soo,

and Ko Suk Soon.

Only my attorney will know the truth.

May I take on your case?

(Episode 31)

(Jung So Mi)

It's you.

(Jung So Mi)

I'm sorry.

I'll apologize on his behalf.

When I was reading the case file,

the life of Jung In Ae...

broke my heart as a mother.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that I understand Jung In Ae's decisions.

However, I cannot represent you,

Jung In Ae.

You're here...

as my attorney.

Set your personal feelings aside,

and finish your job.

How can I set my personal feelings aside?

You approached my family intentionally.

The only person I understand...

is So Mi's mom, Jung In Ae.

Not Choi Ja Hye, whom I once liked,

respected, and trusted.

Don't you want to know the real truth behind this case?

Why...

I planned this for over the past 19 years.

Why...

I didn't kill Kang In Ho, Oh Tae Suk, Kim Hak Bum,

and Seo Joon Hee myself.

I take that as you admit everything you've done.

My daughter...

drowned.

I know.

They knew she was alive,

but they threw her into the sea.

That's insane.

Tae Min Young,

who was there that night,

told me...

everything that happened.

That doesn't justify what you did.

You should've trusted the law and pursued justice one more time.

Do you think that is possible...

in this country?

You said you wanted to know the truth, right?

Are you ready to accept it?

If you want to know the truth, you must make me...

not guilty.

You must do it.

I'll pay for everything I've done.

So please, look at this case as an attorney.

You people...

How have you been living all these years?

Have some fruit.

Thank you.

- It's your move. - Okay, okay.

Hello.

Many people in this world fell into pits of evil...

because of the bad influence of bad friends.

Thus, one must constantly pray for salvation...

from evil.

What?

You have a guest.

Are you Professor Kim Hak Bum?

Who are you?

I'm from Suwon Precinct.

Bring me that.

Let me see it.

What is it?

You know Kim Byung Gi, correct?

What about him?

Let me sit and talk.

No.

Don't sit. Stand and talk.

In other words, keep it brief.

I'll give you five minutes. Say what you want and leave.

You were threatened by Kim Byung Gi, correct?

Who said that?

That's what Oh Tae Suk stated.

Did Tae Suk say I was the only one he threatened?

What are your thoughts on the results?

Please tell us your thoughts.

Kang In Ho, who was arrested for stabbing a detective...

in Choi Ja Hye's home, was sentenced to three years in prison,

reduced to five years of probation.

To jerks with money and power, the court is a religion.

They receive salvation every time they come out. Right?

Turn off the TV. It's giving me a headache.

Okay.

Unlike a corporate heir...

Dong Bae, how do you feel?

I think you've asked me that like 145 times already.

Did I?

But Dong Bae, you don't have to respond every time I say something.

I'm just so happy and excited that you're awake,

that I keep talking to you.

Please leave.

I feel so bad that I can't even look at you.

You do? That's good.

That's why I'm doing it.

What about the trial?

I think your mother will have to take the stand.

How have you been?

Well.

Where's Dal Rae?

With the nanny.

You're representing Ja Hye?

Don't do it.

Why not?

You'll be hurt.

That's up to me.

So? You insist on representing her?

Everything that happened to me...

is all because of...

Don't blame others.

I'm not blaming others.

November 4, 1999.

It's because of what you guys did on that day.

The child didn't even die in the car accident,

but you threw her into the cold sea.

And what did you do afterward?

The problem is what came next.

After throwing a child into the cold sea...

2, 3.

You people took pictures like nothing happened.

- That was... - Don't make excuses.

After you became adults, you continued to make mistakes...

and committed sins to cover them up,

and you still don't repent.

Look at how you people have lived until now.

Did anyone lead a proper life?

That's who you people are.

- Na Ra. - I'll raise Dal Rae and the baby.

Fight me for custody if you want.

Even if I have to roll in the mud,

I'm prepared to fight your family's influence.

Honey.

- Hey. - In Ho.

Where are you?

I'm out. What is it?

Let's meet up. Come to the penthouse.

I'm tired. Let's talk another time.

There's something important I need to tell you.

I don't want to hear it!

You'll regret it if you don't hear me out.

It's very important. Okay?

Fine. I don't care if you come or not.

Just do whatever you want.

Come on, man. Lighten up a bit.

Here.

Come here.

Let go.

Congratulations on your second probation, In Ho.

Congratulations, In Ho.

Hey, you said you had something important to tell me.

Yes, I do.

- Let's party. - What... What?

I said, let's party.

It's been a while since we had a party together.

Today, we're going to party like there's no tomorrow.

How does that qualify as something important?

Hey, what could be more important than having fun in life?

In Ho, do you know...

why people work hard to make money?

It's all because they want to have fun.

Count me out from this party.

Since you're here, just stay and enjoy the party!

If you don't want that, just come here and drink.

You must have had a hard time in there.

Girls, In Ho said he's leaving.

What are you doing? Come on.

- Don't go! - Stay with us!

[VIU Ver] E31 Return "We Are All the Same" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

What about Joon Hee?

We called, but he's not coming.

I think Joon Hee is scared of us.

He's not scared of you two. He's disgusted.

Or we could be terribly scary.

Hey, stop the music.

I told you to cut the music!

What are you doing?

You are supposed to keep dancing.

Dance.

Whoever that can dance the best...

without music will get...

a big, fat check from me.

All right. Let's go!

There you go.

That's it.

Great. Hey, you're slowing down. Keep dancing.

Great. Hey, you're slowing down. Keep dancing.

Now, I feel like I can breathe.

Hey, doesn't this look like a film about shamans?

This is fun.

Send them home now.

Let's not do that.

Instead, we should all have a drink.

In celebration of In Ho's probation...

Hold on, if he gets out on another probation,

wouldn't that make a grand slam?

In Ho, you're the coolest! All right. Cheers!

He needs two more to get a grand slam, you idiot.

Is that so?

Drink up.

Drinks taste the best when I'm drinking with you guys.

I have the most fun when I'm hanging out with you guys.

When I do bad things with you guys,

I'm most excited, but...

how did we end up like this?

- How did we end up? - Are you seriously asking me that?

Look at us.

It's not fun anymore even though I'm partying with you guys.

Aren't we too old to party now?

Bum, it's time for us to get our acts together...

and to take our lives seriously.

Hey.

Then why do you live such a nasty life?

How am I...

living my life?

You said we needed get our acts together,

but you have lost your mind.

That's why you forgot about your friends...

and stabbed us in our backs.

You betrayed us like you breathe air.

Did I do that? Really?

It's too bad though.

I might have lost my mind, but you're becoming a lunatic.

Not only have you gone insane, but you also can't think straight,

so you smashed your friend's head with a rock...

and stole from your friend after going through your friend's house.

Which one of us...

is a bigger loser?

Come on, enough is enough. Okay?

We aren't so different from each other.

All of us are out of our minds.

We can't even stop ourselves from committing animalistic acts that...

no human would ever do.

You, you, and me.

We are all the same.

Maybe, that's why we are friends.

Don't they dance really well without the music?

There's no music,

but they dance like there's music playing.

How could they dance so well?

The answer is simpler than you'd think.

Their brains remember the music.

That's it. That's the same with us.

Our brains...

remember killing the girl.

What is that nonsense?

You know I'm right.

Hey, don't you remember? You don't?

Remember what we did 19 years ago?

- It's not funny. Shut your mouth. - My gosh.

Did you hear this jerk?

You said that we have to take our lives seriously now.

Why are you angry because what I said wasn't funny?

Hey.

Stop it.

That's right.

Darn it. We are here...

to celebrate In Ho's second probation.

You're right.

My gosh, I must have lost my mind.

Hey, In Ho. I'm sorry.

Here. Cheers. Let's have a drink.

Drink up.

Hey, shouldn't you and I get a medal just like In Ho?

I'm not sure about getting two medals,

but shouldn't we at least have one?

If you get one,

I'll get one too.

If I get 1, you get 1 too.

What?

In Ho was in an individual match.

It will be a group match for you and me.

So I'm saying that we should try to get along.

Stop stabbing people in the back.

You moron.

If you're not up for it, you'll be switched out in a group match.

Do a good job if you don't want to take the bench.

Young, you have a visitor from Suwon Precinct.

Hello.

I'm Lieutenant Oh Hyun Moo from Suwon Precinct.

It's nice to meet you.

But what brings you to our precinct?

Do you know Kim Byung Gi?

I was informed his girlfriend visited you three months ago.

Yes, she did. What is this about?

Kim Byung Gi's skeletal remains were found.

Did you uncover the cause of death?

We found a gunshot wound in his cranium.

Did you find anything suspicious during your investigation?

You bet.

We will send you every file we have on him.

The house is a mess. Take a seat somewhere.

- I'll get you something to drink. - That's all right.

I heard your trial ended. I came over to see you.

Is that so? I'm kind of thirsty.

Joon.

Why didn't you visit?

Both Tae Suk and Bum came once each.

In Ho. Don't you have something to say to me?

Joon.

I'm a bit tired.

You're so self-centered.

You only care about how you feel.

How hurt I was,

or how Na Ra felt when she left you...

doesn't matter to you.

Only your emotions matter.

What did I do that was so wrong?

Do you really not know?

That's right. I don't know.

I was framed because of...

the body you guys dumped.

Because of that trial,

my past, which I had forgotten all this time,

was sprawled out for all to see!

This is my fault?

Why is this my fault?

All of this started with you. It was your choice!

You chose to continue on with Mi Jung after you got married...

and went to the hospital to kill that detective...

instead of turning yourself in. It was your choice!

You ruined not only your own choice,

but my chance at making my own choice.

Hey.

Seriously! What do you want from me?

(Courthouse)

When a family member testifies as a witness,

you are not required to be sworn in.

Do you wish to take the oath regardless?

No.

I will not.

How do you know the defendant Choi Ja Hye?

I met Choi Ja Hye five years ago...

at St. Maria Hospital.

We were both volunteering and became close.

If you look at Exhibit 11 previously submitted into evidence,

you'll see photos from the hospital during those five years.

(Evidence)

Do you know Choi Ja Hye's mother, Kang Soon Duk?

Yes, I know her.

How long did you know her?

I knew her for 20 years.

Where did you first meet?

At a hospital in Taein.

How did you meet?

We met as volunteer and family member.

Whose family member were you there as?

I'll answer that for you.

It was Jung In Ae, correct?

Answer me!

You may answer.

Answer everything truthfully,

but keep this one thing in mind.

Forget the fact that Ja Hye was Jung In Ae.

Family members are not prosecuted for perjury,

so you can refuse to take the oath and not be sworn in.

Yes.

It was Jung In Ae.

I received a call that my older son, Min Young, had killed a child.

They said he was driving drunk, but I couldn't believe it.

My son...

couldn't drive and never drank in his life.

(1999 Juvenile Court Case 119)

This is your sentence.

Kang In Ho. Oh Tae Suk. Kim Hak Bum. Seo Joon Hee.

You must each serve 50 hours of community service.

And Tae Min Young.

You are sentenced to two years in juvenile hall.

Min Young. Just a minute.

Mom.

It wasn't me.

- My baby. - I didn't do it.

- Min Young. - It wasn't me.

Why are you taking him?

No! Min Young! Oh no.

I found out later...

that my second son's father had received money...

from the boy who had been driving.

I was so angry, I went to see the judge.

Please.

That's where I saw In Ae.

I felt terrible.

I only saw the pain my son was suffering...

and didn't think about how the mom...

of the girl who died felt.

Then, a suspicious fire broke out.

Since she had no family, I acted as her guardian...

until she was done with treatment.

The records show that Kang Soon Duk had a daughter...

who was missing.

I don't know that much.

We exchanged a few words, that's all.

I didn't know anything about her personal matters.

I made this hypothesis.

Kang Soon Duk, who searched for her missing daughter for 10 years.

Jung In Ae, who nearly died due to the sorrow from losing her child.

The two met and helped soothe each other's wounds...

and grew close.

Objection.

Counsel is confusing the court with groundless speculation.

You must submit clear evidence to prove...

Jung In Ae and Choi Ja Hye are the same person.

Sadly, Kang Soon Duk passed away a year ago...

and didn't even leave behind her ashes.

Moreover, since she did not have any other family,

it is impossible to run a DNA test to prove their relationship.

Thus, we must rely on instincts and circumstantial evidence.

This is a serial murder in which three people were killed.

Your one testimony may destroy the truth of the case.

Moreover, you must give your sons,

Kim Dong Bae and Tae Min Young...

a chance to repent.

Objection.

- Mommy. - Hi.

Did you have fun?

Let's go.

Let's go.

I thought I saw Daddy's car.

It was just a similar car.

You saw wrong.

I'm sure it was Daddy's car.

But Mommy,

when can we see Daddy?

Why?

Do you miss Daddy?

Of course, I miss him.

Later.

Much, much later.

My little sibling is in there, right?

Yes.

(Bum)

Bum, I have nothing to say to you.

Please stop calling.

Bum.

- Hello? - Oh Tae Suk?

- Speaking. - This is the Suwon Precinct.

I need to check something with you.

This is quite an inconvenience.

Am I somehow related to Kim Byung Gi's death?

You know Detective Dokgo Young, right?

- I do. - According to Detective Dokgo,

the gun was checked out from January 22 to 24.

Coincidentally, that's around the time of his disappearance.

I'm very forgetful.

I left it in the trunk of my car for a few days.

According to ballistics,

the gun that can create the bullet wound in Kim Byung Gi's skull...

is the same one as the gun registered to you.

Can you tell me where you were on January 24?

I wasn't so forthcoming to avoid...

putting my friend in a tough spot.

I returned...

the rifle later than the set date for a reason.
