[Namseo Hospital]

Jeong-hae.

Jeong-hae.

Jae-hun. Please help my baby.

Jeong-hae.

What a title.

What's "The Rise of the Male"?

"The men who are running out of time who dream of rising to the top."

That is the theme of this book of poems.

You are amazing.

With creativity comes such great pain.

You are so smart.

Most people compare the pain of creativity

with the pain women suffer in labor.

Come to think of it, isn't Jeong-hae due soon?

We have two months left.

I can't believe that I'm going to be a dad.

Hello? Hey, Jae-hun. What's up? Why aren't you here?

What? Jeong-hae is what?

Hey, man.

You're here.

What happened to Jeong-hae?

She isn't due for another two months, Jae-hun.

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

[Restricted Area]

What happened? How is the mother?

You can go inside. Both the mother and the baby are healthy.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

[Newborn Nursery]

Gosh, look at his nose and mouth.

That's not a human. That has to be a doll.

Look, he has cute nostrils too. He's so adorable.

If you love kids so much, why don't you have a kid?

I already have Ji-uk. He's all I need.

My gosh, look at him.

Gosh, this reminds me of the time

when Soo-a was just born.

Thanks, Jae-hun.

I'll always remember what you did for us today.

You don't have to thank me.

It must've been tough for this little guy and Jeong-hae.

Peek-a-boo.

[Episode 15: A Dramatic Twist]

Mother, I made curry with Dad

after school today. Do you want some?

It's good.

I put in a lot of carrots too.

What brings you here at this hour?

Do you want to eat

some curry with me?

Curry?

It's good.

What has gotten into you? You made curry?

I didn't make this.

Yu-bin did.

Yu-bin?

Yes, right. That's your son's name, Yu-bin.

My gosh. He's amazing.

He is.

Yu-bin made it for me,

but I didn't eat it.

My son got excited and made this for me,

but I didn't even take a look.

Isn't it really good?

I can't believe I didn't even take a look

at this delicious curry.

Jeong-hae.

Something's going on, right?

Nam Jeong-hae.

Hae-suk.

Can you give me a hug?

Please give me a hug.

Jeong-hae...

Yu-bin

got hurt.

And he's

in serious condition.

Hae-suk,

I'm scared.

I'm so scared.

Do you know when I am the most ashamed as a detective?

When I can't catch the suspect.

Do you know

something that makes me feel even more ashamed?

What is it?

When I lose the suspect I had already caught.

But do you know

something that's more shameful than that?

When the suspect I lost turns out to be the real culprit.

That's what drives me insane, and I completely lose it.

They don't call stress the silent killer for no reason.

I couldn't rest in peace even if I died.

We're finding a lead today no matter what.

No one leaves this place alive before we find the evidence.

Understand?

Tae-uk.

Du-man, do you think I'm doing this for my sake?

No.

We may hate the sin, but not the sinner.

That man who died here

may have lived a terrible life,

but we need to find his murderer so he can leave this world.

His soul is still wandering with resentment.

We're only detectives.

But still, we're detectives.

Let's not fall into a bigger shame.

Let's do a great job and find that evidence today

to rub it in Jun-wu's face.

-Okay? -Yes, sir.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Du-man, the master bedroom. Bong-il, the bathroom.

-Won-bae, the laundry room. -Yes, sir.

Goodness. I don't know about this.

[In the Mood for Love]

It's the sea!

-All right! -My gosh.

Look at him.

They're so excited like little kids.

Gosh, it's really great

to be on a trip to the beach with you.

-Really? -Yes.

-Jeong-hae. -Yes?

-Thanks. -For what?

For sticking with me when my life was tough.

You don't have to thank me.

You're the one who stayed by my side when things were tough for me.

Let's make a promise.

A promise?

That we'll stay with each other until we die.

What? That's gross.

Other people might take it the wrong way.

Tell them to take it however they want.

Come on, promise me.

Even after you meet a great guy and have an adorable kid,

promise that our friendship won't change.

I don't think I'm capable of change.

So just make sure you don't change.

All right.

No matter what happens,

we'll stay by each other's side like today.

Okay? Come on.

All right. I promise.

Yu-bin

got hurt.

And he's

in serious condition.

Hey, kid. Yu-bin!

Yu-bin!

Yu-bin... Wait, our Yu-bin.

Where's our Yu-bin?

Jeong-hae.

[Outpatient Operating Room]

Please, Jae-hun. Save my boy Yu-bin.

Please save my boy Yu-bin.

Please save my boy Yu-bin.

What is all of this?

What else? Our daily bread.

I said to stop.

Stop what?

You saved Yu-bin's life.

I will feed you for the rest of your life.

I take that back. Only until you get married.

You haven't eaten, right?

Play with Yu-bin. I'll cook for you.

Yu-bin, do you remember Uncle? Unclip me.

-Okay. -There. Yes.

Yu-bin, you remember Uncle, right?

He's the uncle that saved your life. Play with him.

Doesn't it feel weird? It was crazy weird for me at first.

I was so moved all day long.

You need to have a kid to understand how this feels.

Just consider him your son until you have your own kid.

Hey. He pretty much is your son.

It would've been dangerous if it weren't for you.

You saved our family.

Stop it.

Stop what?

I'll be good to you for the rest of my life. Okay?

I love you, my friend.

Stop it. Stop it already.

-Do something about him. -Come here, baby.

Uncle saved your life, Yu-bin.

Our Yu-bin...

What did I do that was so wrong?

What did I do that was so wrong?

Why are they taking it out on Yu-bin?

Found you.

I found it!

-What is it? -You found something?

Jung Jae-hun said he had installed cameras, right?

Yes. We confirmed that he had installed six in total.

They've stopped working.

Yes, that's it.

That's it.

Tae-uk. What did you find?

We just have to prove

that it's the same camera

as the one in Jung Jae-hun's home.

If it's the same camera, all we have to do

is restore the video files from the date of the murder.

-Then it's game over. -Yes!

Detective Min. Call Surveillance.

Detective Kang. Get another warrant

to search Jung Jae-hun's home.

-You, come with me. -Okay.

-Hey. -Tae-uk.

Jung Jae-hun turned himself in.

What?

Hello.

Hi. Have a seat.

It was about five years ago.

My husband got had really badly by a con-artist.

He was sleeping drunk,

and he put a minor in bed with him, took pictures of it, and blackmailed him.

That con-artist...

was Joo Gang-san who grew up in the orphanage with you.

I know what you were planning to do when you approached Ji-uk.

I know everything.

If he realizes he was had

in the same way his dad was...

If he finds out

that you and Joo Gang-san conspired together...

He'd be too hurt. So would my husband.

So please,

let's say I won't approve of you

because I'm an overbearing mom

who doesn't like your job

and the fact that you're an orphan.

Please, Ae-ra.

Stop it here. Please.

Okay. I understand.

I'm sorry

for worrying only about Ji-uk

when I'm sure you're hurting too.

Please take it.

I don't need it.

This money

isn't in exchange for you breaking up with Ji-uk.

It's from someone with more experience

telling you not to do bad things for money anymore.

You did bad things against your will

because Joo Gang-san made you do them

in order to provide for your younger siblings.

When I didn't have a penny to my name after having Ji-uk,

I considered doing many bad things for money.

Everyone's like that when it comes to money.

It's because I know that.

Take it, Ae-ra.

You're home. You haven't eaten yet, right?

I wanted to show off my skills.

Come eat.

This is really annoying.

Ae-ra.

Look here.

I just came from being totally chewed out by your mom.

I'm speechless.

It's not even like you're that rich. Why is she acting like a millionaire?

It's mad annoying, so get out of my home now.

-Ae-ra. -Didn't you hear me?

I don't need any of this, so get lost!

Your mom isn't the only one with a temper.

Once I see red, I'm unstoppable too.

Got that?

Yu-bin.

I'm not... I'm not crying.

You will

wake up just fine, so why would I cry?

I won't cry, Yu-bin.

Okay? I won't cry, so don't worry. I won't cry.

[If I carry this around when things get tough,]

[I feel more energetic for some reason.]

Man-sik.

I will

stay with you.

Okay, Man-sik.

Please save our Yu-bin.

Don't let him leave me suddenly like you did.

Please. I'm begging you.

Please protect Yu-bin. Man-sik.

Don't worry, man.

Yu-bin will wake up.

He's your son, remember?

That's right. Yes, Yu-bin is

my son.

[Witness Statement]

I...

killed Joo Gang-san.

So,

I'm asking where you hid the video from the camera

you had installed above the closet.

Jung Jae-hun.

Where did you hide the trophy, the murder weapon, and the burner phone

that you had given Joo Gang-san?

It's in the hidden room

in my bedroom.

We already searched that room and we didn't find anything!

In that hidden room

is another hidden room.

They're in there.

Yu-bin.

Yu-bin.

Yu-bin.

Yu-bin, it's Dad.

Can you see me? Can you see Dad?

Doctor!

Man-sik.

Thank you.

Man-sik.

Man-sik.

Thank you, Man-sik.

Man-sik.

Man-sik. Thank you, Man-sik.

Thank you, Man-sik.

Excuse us.

That way.

It's here.

He said it was behind a painting.

This must be it.

What's this?

[Detective Min Du-man]

Hi, Detective Min. Did you find it?

What?

Jung Jae-hun.

What is it?

What are you trying to pull?

There's nothing in the location you described!

Where did you hide them?

That can't be.

That can't...

That can't be! It can't!

Ji-uk, you still need to eat.

You can't starve.

You'll get sick.

You have a bad stomach as is.

Please leave me alone, Dad. I'll eat later.

Fine. Okay.

I'll go out, so sleep some more.

He's going to eat later.

It's his loss.

Why aren't you eating?

Eat by yourself. I can't eat either. I have no appetite.

Why did you see Ae-ra?

What did you say to her?

What else? I said to know her place.

I warned her that I'll kill her if she sees my son again.

Mom,

did you have to do that?

That's right, I did have to do that.

I'll give my life to stop you from seeing her!

So give up unless you're going to give your life too.

Hey, Ji-uk.

Gyeong-ja, seriously...

I've been busy lately, so I was out often,

and even if I did come back, it was after midnight.

Then

did anyone visit while you were home?

I'm not sure. I don't remember anyone visiting.

This is a cloud camera made by KS.

It's completely different from the model at Joo's place.

Is that guy playing around with us?

This is driving me insane.

Then this is a different model from the one we know of?

Yes, completely.

It's a different model?

This is driving me insane.

Go down to the apartment office

and get a copy of a week's security footage

of everyone who came to Mr. Jung's place.

And look into Ms. Choi Mo-ran's alibis.

She doesn't

know anything.

If no one came to your house for a week,

there's a high chance that she's involved.

And that's only if your testimony is true.

Just

have me detained.

I'm a guy

who's dying to have you detained.

I really am.

Mr. Jung.

Why did you suddenly want to turn yourself in?

You had plenty of time to do so,

but you kept hiding what you did. So why did you

suddenly want to turn yourself in after all the evidence

has disappeared?

It's belated,

but I just wish to pay for what I did.

Yu-bin, you got over the hard part so well.

I'm so proud of you.

Of course, we're proud of him.

I knew Yu-bin could do it.

It's thanks to all of you. Thank you so much.

We didn't do anything.

Lady Luck took your side because you two lived a good life.

You aren't sick, are you?

You don't look so well.

Me?

I'm not sick.

Goodness, Gyeong-ja.

You said I was acting like he's my son,

but you were more concerned about him.

You must've been really worried to look that worn out.

Actually, Gyeong-ja stayed up all night

praying for him.

I prayed to let Hyeong-u become mature, but it's not working.

Come on, Gyeong-ja. Some wishes can't be granted.

You should just beat him up instead.

What do you mean, beat me up? She already hits me often enough.

Did you see that? Did you just see her?

Did you see her evil eyes?

Her punches really hurt.

Hey, run away. I need to run away.

-Will you stop already? -I have to run away.

My goodness.

I'm running away.

-Come here. -Okay. Dodge her punch.

Hae-suk.

Why are you leaving? You should come in.

Come in.

Hae-suk, you're here.

Hi, Hae-suk.

Hello.

You're here.

You came.

How did you find time to come when you're so busy?

You two must have told her.

What? No.

Us? We didn't tell her.

I'm not that busy.

We already saw how Yu-bin is doing, so we should go.

Goodness, look at the time.

-Sweetie, let's go. -I can stay longer.

I can stay longer too...

Wait, no.

I have to do something important at home.

Right, I have an important appointment.

-Bye, then. -Bye.

-Let's go. -We'll get going.

Bye.

Hae-suk, stay for a while.

Goodbye.

I'll get going.

Come here.

You must be Yu-bin.

I'm your mom's friend, Aunt Hae-suk.

Thank you for staying alive, Yu-bin.

You're so awesome.

Ae-ra.

Ae-ra, will you open the door?

I apologize for what my mom did.

Please open the door, Ae-ra.

Let's talk face-to-face.

[My Love Ae-ra]

[The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message...]

Ae-ra!

I'm going to wait here until you come out.

So come on out, Ae-ra.

Ae-ra, I'm serious.

[Please, Ae-ra.]

Stop it here. Please.

What's this smell?

Hey, Chun-bok.

Goodness, what brings you here?

I have a friend who lives here.

Oh, I see.

Goodness, the bouquet looks beautiful.

Who's it for? Your wife? Or your girlfriend?

I don't have a girlfriend. It's for my wife.

Why did you just stress that? It must be for your girlfriend.

Well, she's my wife who's like my girlfriend.

Chun-bok, do you have some time right now?

Time?

I will

get going.

Okay. You should go.

Thank you for coming.

You don't have to thank me.

Stay healthy.

Okay.

You should cheer up too.

I will.

I'll get going. I'll see myself out.

Okay.

Yu-bin.

I'll get going.

Bye.

You should walk her out.

What?

Don't let your friend go like that. You should go.

I'll take it.

No, it's okay.

Give it to me.

Thank you so much for coming.

I'm sorry I came by

when I have no right to.

Don't say that.

You said you're Aunt Hae-suk. That means you have to come.

When you introduced yourself to him as his mother's friend,

I was very glad.

He might take it the wrong way

if I told him I was his dad's friend.

Anyway, where are you headed? Your suitcase is pretty heavy.

Well, I'm leaving for a few days to get some air.

I've been working too much after I opened the bar,

so I'm pretty tired.

I'm glad you're doing that.

Go somewhere nice and get recharged.

Let's have a celebration once Yu-bin gets discharged.

You should get back.

I'll walk you to the taxi stand.

No, it's all right.

Let's

say goodbye here.

All right. Have a safe trip.

Take care.

Bye.

Gung-cheol.

Don't you feel like

you can forgive everything

after Yu-bin woke up?

Yu-bin woke up

because you're way too nice.

So,

I hope you will continue to live as a good guy, Gung-cheol.

I'm not a good guy, Hae-suk.

If you aren't a good guy, then no one is.

Gung-cheol.

No matter what anyone says,

you're a good guy.

I hope you will live happily without any pain from now on.

Right. Why don't we shake hands?

What's this? It's like you plan on never seeing me again.

Why wouldn't I see you again?

I'll stick by your side until the day I die.

Thank you so much for letting me borrow your money

without asking any questions.

That wasn't my money anyway.

I'll get going.

This time, it's a real goodbye.

Her name is Baek Hae-suk.

She runs a bar named "In the Mood for Love" near the apartment.

She was friends with the four guys since they were in drama club in college.

Friends from a club?

And her name is Baek Hae-suk?

Yes.

And who's the other one?

Well, it's...

It's Ahn Gung-cheol.

So these are the only two who visited Jung Jae-hun's place

in the past week?

Yes.

They both came 3 days ago on October 24. Ahn Gung-cheol came around 4 p.m.,

and Baek Hae-suk came in around 11 p.m.

Locate them immediately.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

[Are you sure everything is all right?]

Yes, everything is fine, Mother.

I had a really weird dream a few days ago.

[Okay. If everything is fine, it's all right.]

Everything is really fine, so don't worry.

Sweetie, I know you're busy, but come and visit with Yu-bin.

[My husband never says he misses anyone,]

but he has been wanting to see him lately.

I'm sorry.

I'll visit with Yu-bin.

All right. Thank you.

You must be busy. You should get back to work. Bye.

All right.

[Mother]

Did you see Hae-suk off?

Yes.

So,

did you make up with her?

Yes.

I'm so glad. Thank you so much.

Why are you thankful that we made up?

You're right. I overreacted again.

You should go home too.

Home? Why? I'm fine.

But I'm not.

You smell bad. Go take a shower and get changed.

Don't worry about Yu-bin. I'm his mom.

All right. I'll come right back after I shower and get changed.

-Another woman? -I'm telling you.

I would've usually let it slide,

but I'm only telling you because you're like a sister to me.

Are you sure you didn't see something else?

"Something else"?

I have really good eyesight, you know.

Gosh, these all look pretty.

Wait, isn't that Pu-reum's dad?

You can try to see it on me. Go ahead.

What about this?

How can he do that in front of his house of all places?

I didn't think he was the type. How can he be so bold?

Mr. Ahn Gung-cheol.

May we have a word?

Mr. Jung Jae-hun just turned himself in.

I'm guessing you didn't know.

Right, you were probably busy

after your son's accident.

Why did you come to see me if Jae-hun turned himself in?

The tools he used on the day of his crime

completely disappeared.

Mr. Jung said he hid those in a secret room,

but they all disappeared in the last few days.

So what?

Are you suggesting I took the weapons and tools?

Why were you at his house three days ago?

We recently had a couples' night at Jae-hun's place.

And I made the food with Mo-ran, his ex-wife.

I had

brought over my kitchen tools that day.

I went to pick them up.

Because I started teaching my son how to cook.

Anyway, Mo-ran wasn't home, so I called her,

and she gave me the door code.

I felt uncomfortable going in without them there,

but I felt more uncomfortable about my things being in his home.

So I took them and left right away.

[Mo-ran]

Okay.

I don't know why he turned himself in,

but it has nothing to do with me.

What do you mean?

Didn't you want to catch the killer more than anyone?

The killer?

I wanted to catch him like crazy.

But now,

it doesn't matter who killed him.

The person I hate the most in my heart

is that scum Jung Jae-hun.

So

whether or not he's the killer

does not matter to me.

Whatever the answer may be,

I will resent him for the rest of my life.

I heard your son was hurt in a hit-and-run.

Yes.

Thank goodness he survived.

How would it have been

if he had died?

I believe everyone's life is equally precious.

Whether you're successful or not, whether you're a good person or not.

They're the same to me.

That's why

I must catch the killer who murdered Joo Gang-san.

Even if you say you don't care

who the killer is.

Did you seriously ignore me when you were inside?

I'm glad I didn't leave and waited. I almost missed you.

You saw me, so leave.

Ae-ra.

Let's talk for a minute.

I'm going on a blind date.

So let go of me.

Ae-ra. Do you drink?

Drink?

Ae-ra. You're so pretty. Why don't you have a boyfriend?

What do you think about me?

What are you doing?

What? I'm done, so get lost.

Of all the... Hey, what do you mean, you're done?

We're just getting started.

-Let go of me! -What if I refuse?

Let go of her!

Let's go.

-Mind your own business and leave. -I said let's go!

[That woman runs the dance studio at the big intersection.]

[She's infamous]

[for scamming naive men into paying for her classes.]

I bet your husband is taking dance lessons too.

I bet he paid for a year in advance, not just a few months.

What is this smell?

["With You" playing]

♫ I want to live 100 years ♫

♫ In the spring we'll plant some seeds ♫

♫ In the summer flowers will bloom ♫

♫ In the fall we'll have a good harvest ♫

♫ In the winter we'll be happy ♫

Why did you turn it off?

Mommy, this is Daddy's favorite song.

♫ I'm happy, I'm happy if I'm with my love ♫

♫ If I can live with my love ♫

♫ I want to build a picturesque house ♫

♫ In that green field ♫

That's right. I remember now.

I was getting my hair done at the salon and Gung-cheol called.

I think I gave him the door code.

What about Baek Hae-suk?

She wasn't carrying anything when she got off the elevator,

but she got on with a suitcase.

Oh, that?

We had a couples gathering at our place not long ago.

She said she really liked that suitcase when she was over.

It's an expensive suitcase,

but I gave it to her hoping we'll be closer in the future.

Did you notice anything suspicious

about Baek Hae-suk that day?

Suspicious?

That's right. She went into Jae-hun's bedroom,

saying she wanted to see it.

She said she wondered

what a persnickety person's room looked like.

Did she go into the secret room as well?

I wouldn't know.

My stomach hurt, so I was in the bathroom.

Tae-uk, you have to come out here.

Have you not located Baek Hae-suk yet?

I asked Surveillance for help. They're checking.

Don't just check. Find her quickly.

-Tae-uk. -Stop it right now!

Gosh. What brings such a busy man as yourself

all the way down to the station?

What? Did you come to buy us all dinner or something?

Release Jung Jae-hun immediately.

Why would I release Jung Jae-hun?

We're not done investigating.

I said to release him, so release him. Before I get angry.

Are you threatening me?

I dismissed the request for a detention warrant myself.

What? Not even put on hold, but dismissed?

We have his statement this time.

I don't want his statement.

There was no solid evidence mentioned anywhere.

You should've found the murder weapon first.

That's... We're looking for it now.

Well... We just wanted to save time

and switched the order around a little.

We'll submit the evidence soon, so please wait.

Detective Cho!

I clearly warned you when I issued the warrant

for a nighttime search

not to recklessly overuse warrants.

What do you mean, "overuse"?

That jerk in there is definitely the killer!

But he keeps messing with the police.

That's why we want to detain him!

Watch your language!

He isn't even a suspect yet. Don't call him the killer.

That jerk really is the killer!

His statement, the circumstances, the motive, alibi,

everything falls into place!

Detective Cho.

You kept submitting warrant requests that kept getting dismissed...

[Cho Tae-uk]

...which is why you're retiring as an inspector

after being on the force for 20 years.

You should restrain yourself now.

If your wife treats you coldly

because your pension gets slashed,

it'll be so sad. How will you handle it?

None of your business.

Whether I retire as an inspector or a lieutenant,

mind your own business

and just issue the warrant.

You and I are working our tails off

to catch the killer!

Detective Cho.

What do you think you're doing?

Let that gentleman go right now.

You said to catch him right away!

Exactly! Who said to search his place without a warrant?

This is driving me mad.

The killer walked in here himself

and made a statement on the record that the evidence was in his place.

Why do we need a warrant?

Did you forget the rules of search and seizure?

"Other than evidence voluntarily submitted or left behind,"

"you must obtain a warrant prior to searching and seizing said evidence."

Don't you even know the basics?

This was ordered directly by the Police Commissioner himself.

Listen.

Detective Cho and...

All of you in Team One. Get ready to be audited!

Got that?

Gosh. Let's go, sir.

Send Jung Jae-hun home while I'm being nice.

This isn't a threat. It's an order.

You should go home.

We have no leads other than your confession.

We can't locate the video from the camera you had installed.

I really want to lock you up,

but you've been detained once already

and are still technically a victim.

So we can't detain you purely based on your confession.

You know that.

I did it.

I killed him.

Stop messing with the detectives, and get out.

I killed him.

If you want to pay for your crime, bring us evidence!

I killed him! I'm the one who killed him!

I killed him!

[Hajung Seobu Police Station]

Did you have fun playing a killer?

It wasn't fun, was it?

Wait for me.

You know Baek Hae-suk, don't you?

She went to Jung Jae-hun's apartment

on the evening of the day you went.

She borrowed a piece of luggage from Choi Mo-ran.

If it wasn't you,

there's a high probability that she did.

[Gung-cheol. No matter what anyone says,]

you're a good guy.

I hope you will live happily

without any pain from now on.

Hae-suk.

I'm not a good guy.

I will

be in a lot of pain for a very long time.

I won't be able to be happy.

So...

don't do anything stupid,

and come back.

[As of now, it's the most likely that Baek Hae-suk took it.]

Of course, we'll have to see her in person

and investigate further.

[In the Mood for Love]

[To my friends]

[To my friends.]

[From your first love forever, Hae-suk]
