[Episode 26]

[National Police Agency]

Prosecutor Kim.

Are you sure you have proof?

I want to ask you.

For someone who knows psychopaths so well,

how did you not recognize the one right next to you?

The Yellow Umbrella killer was... your fiancée.

How could you end up with that kind of a woman?

Ms. Baek Sang Ah, do you acknowledge

murdering Im Hwa Yeong on March 10th, 2020?

Attempted murder of Detective Joo and killing and abandoning Kim Hee Soo,

killing Gang Do Cheol, do you acknowledge all of them?

Soo Hyeok.

I asked if you acknowledge them, Ms. Baek Sang Ah.

Did you really kill them?

I don't know.

You've been killing people while I was with you?

You knew how much I hate animals like that.

Why? Why did you kill them?

Tell me.

Do you know something?

At this moment, all your attention is on me.

What kind of person am I? Did I really kill people?

You're sincerely curious about me.

What?

I'm going to tell you one by one very slowly.

Only you, Prosecutor Kim.

That way, I can see you here like this for a long time.

What is your relationship to Gong In Woo?

Who is he?

You're so curious about me.

I like it.

In Do, there's a scratch on her wrist.

Check under the nails of the victim.

Pardon? Yes.

[3711]

It's me. The remains of the convict, make sure it's resolved as unidentifiable.

Make sure it can't be reconstructed.

Chief Prosecutor, Ms. Jang Hye Mi is here.

You may let her in.

Did you come because of your daughter?

It's not so surprising such a child was born in your family.

What could she have learned from a mother who protects a murderer?

That's the reason I broke up with you 30 years ago.

Lack of morals.

I'll give you five minutes.

Gong Ji Cheol came back alive.

Gong Ji Cheol?

Right. He did, not too long ago.

He's lying in the autopsy room as we speak.

I've already fixed it so that he's unidentifiable and cannot be reconstructed.

Did you come here because you were scared about it?

What you really need to be scared about is the case from 30 years ago,

the Yellow Umbrella killer. The fact that Gong Ji Cheol isn't the real culprit.

And... you and I conspiring together and killing Gong Ji Cheol...

You haven't forgotten, have you?

So?

Let Sang Ah go.

She's committed murder.

So did you 30 years ago.

- What? - Let my daughter go.

If I say no?

You're the one who knows best in the world about how scary the power of a pen is.

It's no fun to provoke someone who holds a pen.

Hey, Jang Hye Mi.

If it goes to trial, make it closed to the public, and I'll be my daughter's attorney.

Pick out a prosecutor in charge for me.

Why don't you get up now?

Gong Ji Cheol, he could be watching you from very close by.

Because even if the body disappears, a wronged soul returns.

Sounds like you've recently joined a religious group.

Hyungnim! Who does he think he is?

Are you going to let him put his feet up on the table?

Ma Cheol, how old are you?

You know that I'm... 22.

Call him Hyungnim from now on.

No, maybe you need to call him your ancestor.

Ancestor?

Jong Beom, since I saved your life, I'm still your Hyungnim, right?

Did you get what I asked?

Hey, you punk! You bastard!

How dare you speak informally?!

Do I need to remove my jacket to prove that I'm a gangster? Where is he looking?

Hyungnim, sorry. Let me take my jacket off.

Chang Soon, how old are you?

45, Hyungnim.

- You're 45? - Yes.

You can be friends then.

I got the kids to dig it up. Why do you need it?

Also, you asked for me to find someone for you.

Your stepmother, was it? She doesn't see too well.

Ms. J states that the novel is fiction based on facts

and unrelated to her daughter's case.

I gave you your last chance, but you threw it away.

Are you saying I'm next after Gong In Woo?

You might be.

I guess you're still angry that I lied to you 30 years ago.

It's funny. Even your biological father betrayed you.

Aren't you pushing it to ask me for goodwill as a human being?

The way you're speaking today is Cheon Jong Beom.

It's oddly different.

Your feelings are still alive.

Yeah?

What could the secret of the real killer you missed in the book be?

While Gong In Woo killed, Gong Ji Cheol gathered up victims' belongings that could prove their identities.

Among them, there's something that belonged to your stepfather, too.

I'm going to ask two questions right now. Give me answers that I can understand.

First, who sent the thugs to Gong Ji Cheol at Wonnam Hospital to kill him?

Who do you think?

It's the prosecutor in charge of Gong Ji Cheol's execution.

Cheon Seok Tae?

It's your father.

Second, Baek Sang Ah calls me her friend.

She said you've been watching me since I was born.

What does it mean?

Sang Ah... how did she...

Your answer.

The person who designed your DNA...

it wasn't your mom, it was me.

At Inseong Foundation's fertility clinic...

I once switched some donated sperm.

Your biological father

wasn't a top 1% genius of Korea.

I don't know who it was.

It was donated to the hospital anonymously.

Why did you

do that to me?

At first, I wanted to place something foreign in Cheon Seok Tae's life.

Since we're very ill-fated.

I saw you for the first time when you were 13.

That day, I recognized right away that you were not an ordinary person.

So I only wanted to watch you from afar.

Writer Jang Hye Mi, a bundle of lies. I want to reveal that to the world.

I guess you want to prove Gong Ji Cheol's innocence,

but remember, I'm the only one in the world who can prove

you were wrongly accused 32 years ago.

Now it's become very clear what we need from each other.

How Prosecutor Cheon made Gong Ji Cheol into an uncommon serial killer...

bring the evidence to me.

You... had so much evidence.

Why didn't you show it to Prosecutor Cheon 32 years ago?

Would that have changed anything?

He probably would have assumed it was trophies I collected from the murders.

You also knew Gong In Woo was the murderer, but nothing changed.

Since I was expendable.

Heathcliff's revenge when he returned was because of love.

Is it because of love for you, too?

You did it while eating like this.

Do you remember stabbing me with the scissors while I ate?

Who are you?

Why did you do that?

I asked who you are.

Your son, Gong Ji Cheol.

What?

How could you say something like that?

Every time I got stabbed in the eye, I thought,

"I really hope mom's anger subsides quick today.

Let's just put up with it a little longer.

If I put up with it a little more,

Mom will be nice to me today."

But I realized once I got stabbed in the eye.

To you, I wasn't a human being

I was an object.

A very dirty object that didn't matter

if it died and got chucked in the trash.

Are you... really Ji Cheol?

I thought I should live no matter what.

The only means of getting revenge on you was for me to stay alive and become an adult

and for you to get old.

But... even meeting like this...

I can't get revenge on you.

[Incoming call]

Do you want to have a party as a family?

Our Jong Beom has become a real man since I last saw him!

Listen, Jong Beom, it's Sa Bin's birthday soon.

Let's go on a family vacation together.

Your face just begs for my affection.

Why don't you just be our nephew-in-law?

Uncle, let's not cross the line.

It's not the DMZ. What line can you not cross as a man and a woman?

Never you mind!

Jong Beom, tell me. You like Sa Bin, don't you?

I can tell by looking at your eyes! I'm a pro!

Uncle, come on!

Yes, I like her.

Sa Bin, how do you feel?

We like each other as teacher and student.

Isn't that a given? He's my favorite pupil.

Sa Bin, when you see him, is he cool or pitiful?

When a woman really loves a man,

she feels pity for him, that's what I heard.

Like a mom, you want to comfort him and embrace him.

If people say anything to him, you want to fight them off.

That's real, real love.

Is that so? If you know so much, why are you still single?

There's not even one woman

who pities me! It's my fate to be lonely.

You're the same.

This little weasel!

Fine! Let's die together so that you and I won't be lonely!

I'll warmly embrace you in my arms!

♫ Because you were the first to come close ♫

♫ Even if it's a love I can't fulfill ♫

I like you. I like you,

so you can never get hurt.

To be honest, since the first time I saw you, my heart raced.

♫ I can't ♫

♫ Even though I know you can't come to me ♫

Can I ask why you shot me?

Because you tried to kill Jeong Sa Bin.

Are you still suspecting Jong Beom?

As much you like Jeong Sa Bin, Baek Sang Ah will want to kill her.

♫ Even while exhausted ♫

♫ I say that I'm fine ♫

♫ Even though it hurts, this is not goodbye ♫

When is your birthday?

Me? May 31st.

The day my father carried out his first execution, I was born. Isn't it unique?

So the person I can't forgive as long as I live is that convict, Gong Ji Cheol.

You haven't seen the face of the convict whose remains we reconstructed, have you?

I think he looks like you.

In what way?

He looks lonely. It hurts me.

I'm really...

It's an illness. Being excessively absorbed in the remains.

You don't need to have sympathy.

His bones were broken everywhere, his eyes were stabbed, and he was nutritionally deficient.

His scars were mostly from when he was young.

If he had been loved, he could have lived another kind of life.

I don't think so.

The relationship formed with that convict would have been completely ill-fated.

It might not have been an ill-fated relationship, just a fated one.

Maybe he became a convict because he didn't get to form those relationships sooner.

Had the relationship come sooner, he might not

have lived like that and died that way.

Yes, Prosecutor Kim.

Can I see you for a bit?

What's wrong with your voice? Is something wrong?

Okay, I'll do that.

Sorry, Prosecutor Kim needs to talk to me.

Go ahead, I'll wait.

Here? You don't know how long it'll take.

I'll wait.

You're not even well. Go inside.

Jeong Ha Eun, how long...

can you wait for me?

[7080 Live Bar]

Why did you drink so much?

Can I... hug you for a moment?

You hate me, don't you?

I can't get close to you because I know how you feel about me.

♫ Your eyes looking at me ♫

I know I'm a murderer in your eyes.

Jong Beom came back safe and sound.

You're not a murderer, Prosecutor Kim.

♫ When I look at you, the whole world ♫

♫ seems to have stopped while filled with you ♫

Prosecutor Kim.

You're drunk. That's enough now.

♫ Even if someday a difficult time comes for us ♫

Prosecutor Kim...

I realized that I was the one who put the person I wanted to protect the most in the most danger.

And that being next to you

isn't protecting you.

I'll put everything back in its place.

I'll put everything back,

and then...

I'll come to you.

I also... want to be happy with the man I like.

But each time I feel that way, someone always comes to mind.

Until that person won't be unhappy anymore,

I can't leave that person alone.

I've thought many times about why that is,

but I've just felt that way toward him since the beginning.

♫ I love you ♫

♫ Even if an unexpected farewell comes to find me ♫

Are you talking about Cheon Jong Beom?

♫ I will not leave ♫

♫ Even if the warm wind carries me away ♫

♫ You're my one and only love ♫

♫ Don't let go of my hand ♫

♫ My dear ♫

♫ Even if we don't say anything, even if I'm just looking at you ♫

♫ You're the one I want to see ♫

You should think about having surgery now.

If the bullet moves, you could die at any moment.

[PULSE]

[Cell phone]

I was about to call you, but you called.

We connected.

I guess so.

I was worried after leaving like that.

Where are you? You can't be wondering around right now.

You're the one who left a sick person behind to go see a man. How can you nag at me?

Anyway, I'll send you the address, so lets text after work.

It's pretty.

They're pretty.

These threes were thrown out from the city development housing sites.

They were moved and planted here, so this place became a tree orphanage.

Tree orphanage?

That tree was sick and weak before coming here,

so the rotten branches had to be cut

It was going to grow that big, but it nearly got abandoned.

You told me yourself.

Primitive tribes tie ribbons on trees and make wishes.

Will the wish come true... even if you tie a ribbon around a tree that's been hurt?

What's your wish?

Revenge. And...

There's something called an injury time in soccer.

The game is over, but it's time given by the referee.

Unsettling for the winner, but a time when the loser can still hope for a reversal.

♫ A sad destiny ♫

I'm thinking about what I'd do if injury time comes to my life.

Injury time? Hey, you're really...

You have a promising future ahead of you. What do you mean injury time?

Tell me what your wish is.

From now on, I'll pray for your wish to come true, too.

In two lifetimes, I've only loved one woman.

♫ Please let me be by your side ♫

Just once... couldn't you look at me?

♫ Pain rushes into the heart ♫

♫ Even if I'm left alone again ♫

♫ The memory of you that can't be erased ♫

♫ So that it won't be sad anymore ♫

♫ The place that remained far away ♫

♫ In that dark and lonely place ♫

[Born Again]

I found a way to take care of all three at once.

Gong Ji Cheol, I'm sorry.

Are you sure it was Baek Sang Ah?

I remember the suspect's face very clearly.

I'm going to do everything I can for you.

The more you corner her, the more you'll put Jeong Sa Bin in danger, not yourself.

You take Kim Soo Hyeok out.

I'll put everything back in its place and come to you.

I'll make you remember me first.
