Original subtitles

We're almost there.

- What? - We'll be there soon.

Oh, right.

Could I please have your number?

Well, you probably already have it.

Excuse me.

- Sang Ho, it's me. - Sun Woo, where are you?

I'm almost at the hospital.

Eun Ho's been moved to the VIP room...

on the sixth floor.

Thankfully, his mother came by, so I'm on my way home.

What?

What did you just say? Who came by?

All right. I'll call you back.

Sure.

What's going on?

Did Eun Ho's condition worsen?

No,

Eun Ho's fine.

Who on earth are you?

Why on earth are you...

pretending to be Eun Ho's mother?

Right, I guess it could seem that way.

I was too distraught...

to properly introduce myself.

I jumped to conclusions?

You were the one who told me...

I'm sorry,

but you never asked if I was his mother...

and I never told you that I was.

Then why did you ask who I was outside Eun Ho's house?

Because I live in the unit upstairs.

I have to pass Eun Ho's house on the way to mine.

He wasn't answering his phone...

and then I saw some man at his house.

Of course, I had to ask who you were.

I'm sorry.

I guess I got the wrong impression.

I saw you and Eun Ho a few days back...

and you seemed so alike that I assumed you as the mom.

Sorry about that.

So you're just someone who lives in the unit above?

I'm Eun Ho's friend.

That's what he calls me.

Now please get going,

or I'll just get out.

Yes?

Who may you be?

Hello, ma'am. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Eun Ho's homeroom teacher.

Oh, right.

How can something so terrible happen to my boy?

My gosh.

Young Jin, how did you know to come here?

I went by your house to find you,

but I met her instead and drove her here.

Sorry I wasn't home.

There's no need to apologize. I'm just glad you're here.

I'll check on Eun Ho.

Ma'am,

could we talk outside?

Sure.

If...

by any chance,

something bad happens to me,

I don't ever want you to know.

Thank you for worrying about me.

But how could I not know...

if something happens to you?

See? How could I not know?

Eun Ho,

why were you there of all places?

What on earth happened?

She lives in the unit above,

so I drove her here since she's close to Eun Ho.

I apologize if I made a mistake.

It's all right.

I don't know much about her,

but Eun Ho has liked her since he was a boy.

She seems odd to me,

but she's a cop...

so I doubt she's some weirdo.

Can I ask about...

what kind of a man Chairman Baek is?

We've known each other since we were young.

He's a good man.

He's been supporting the school for the sake of the children.

When Eun Ho received the prize for good conduct,

he was actually there.

Eun Ho made a good impression on him.

A prize for good conduct?

Didn't you know?

No,

he rarely speaks at home.

He's one of the quieter ones at school too.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Right now?

Sure.

The police are at his hospital room.

Lieutenant Cha... No, wait. It's Captain Cha now.

Since he's someone you know,

I'll conduct a thorough investigation.

What about his cell phone?

We couldn't find it.

He didn't leave a suicide note either...

There they are.

Are you Eun Ho's mother and homeroom teacher?

- Yes. - Yes.

We're from Incheon Police Station.

We need to ask a few questions.

Why don't we head inside?

Would that be all right?

Right, sure thing.

Actually, we should talk outside.

The boy should rest.

It's not like he can hear anything, but whatever.

Let's head to the lounge then.

I'll come with you.

What do you think you're doing?

I doubt a hotshot detective from a regional investigation unit...

wants a piece of the local police's case.

You said that's the bag found on the roof.

It's not Eun Ho's.

No. I think it is Eun Ho's.

I must see what's inside to be sure,

but it's the bag I saw yesterday morning.

We'll handle the case,

so let us be. This way, please.

Let's go, Ma'am.

Is this your son's bag?

Well, I'm not sure.

Mr. Lee, can you check?

Sure.

(Card receipt, Hongje Bookstore)

(School Newsletter)

Is it his bag?

Yes.

This is the school newsletter that I gave out yesterday.

I think the bag belongs to Eun Ho.

By any chance, was he ever bullied at school?

Not that I know of.

Were you waiting for me?

I have something to ask you.

As Eun Ho's friend?

Or as a detective?

As Eun Ho's friend.

Was Eun Ho bullied by anyone at school?

How exactly?

I guess he was bullied.

As far as I know, he wasn't bullied.

I saw signs of assault on Eun Ho's body.

The scar on his lips...

and the scars and bruises on his shoulder and chest.

They're not from the fall.

Nothing happened at school.

I didn't see a single scar on his face...

until school was over and he left the classroom.

He might not have gotten those scars on the same date.

And just because he left the classroom...

doesn't exactly mean he wasn't in school.

Are you trying to tell me that Eun Ho decided...

to commit suicide...

because he was being bullied at school?

What happened to Eun Ho...

was a crime.

If that's what you think,

then ask me as a detective.

Then are you going to give me a different answer?

Thank you for today.

You're not allowed in there.

Please step aside.

(Bae Sun Ah)

It's an accident site, so you can't go in there.

May I meet Mr. Baek?

I didn't know you were a cop. But you see,

Mr. Baek left to eat.

I'll wait.

Call me once he's ready.

Okay.

It's a miracle, isn't it?

It's impossible to stay alive if you fall from up here.

But last night, a miracle actually occurred...

right here.

Mr. Baek?

Yes. You must be Detective Cha Young Jin.

Yes.

I'm curious to know...

why a detective from a regional investigation unit came to see me.

From what I know, you contributed to creating...

the miracle you just mentioned.

How do you know that?

Mr. Lee Sun Woo told me about you.

I saw signs of assault on Eun Ho's body.

The scar on his lips...

and the scars and bruises on his shoulder and chest.

They're not from the fall.

(Emergency Contact List)

(Ju Dong Myung)

Sun Woo must've gotten shocked when I called him yesterday.

He thought he was bringing Eun Ho's mother,

but I told him Eun Ho's mother already arrived at the hospital.

Well, anyway...

I'm guessing that's how close you are to Eun Ho.

That's probably why you're...

trying to investigate this yourself.

Yes, so I'd like you...

to let me take a look at the hotel CCTV footage.

I see.

You want to investigate what happened to a close neighbor?

Isn't that against your job ethics?

I also prefer to stick to what I think is right...

rather than the principles. I'm just like you.

On top of that,

I liked Eun Ho the moment I saw him.

It's a pity that this had to happen at my hotel.

It hurts me so much, and I feel responsible for it.

You can take the footage. I'll ask the staff to cooperate.

- Thank you. - No problem.

I hope you find the culprit.

Do you think what happened to Eun Ho was a crime?

That's just what I hope.

It'll be less painful for you to think that it was a crime...

rather than to think that he willingly decided to jump.

35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40,

41, 42, 43, 44, 45.

- It's Sun Woo. - What?

He went to school this early?

I don't think he came home last night.

He has something to ask you.

Hey, Sun Woo.

Let me count for you.

How many did you do?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

Then you'll have to start over.

1, 2, 3...

So are you still at the hospital?

No, I'm at school.

Okay. I'm relieved.

I'm glad it didn't happen at school.

What's that supposed to mean?

Are you serious?

- A student got injured! - Sun Woo.

Don't make the same mistake.

- What do you mean? - You've been through it already.

If you can't take full responsibility,

it's best to keep a distance.

People could take advantage of your kindness...

and end up hurting you.

Dong Myung.

Eun Ho...

is severely injured. He's at the hospital.

Why?

I guess you didn't know he got injured.

Then did you come because you were worried?

Were you worried because his cell phone was turned off?

Where is the hospital?

Why did Eun Ho...

give you his sneakers?

Where is the hospital?

Eun Ho's shoes are too small for you.

I sold them!

Tell me where he is.

He's in a really bad condition, so you can't go alone.

Let's go together.

How did he get hurt?

He fell from a hotel.

Millennium Hotel?

How...

How do you know that?

Dong Myung!

Dong Myung!

Pick up.

Pick up.

Mr. Choi hasn't called you either, has he?

Come out. I'll take you.

(Shinsung Middle School)

Ko Eun Ho is still unconscious.

We decided not to tell the students.

Please remember that.

You can all get back to work.

- Ms. Kim. - Yes?

If you don't mind,

can you check on my class this morning?

- Look at it. - You're right.

- Are you sure? - Check.

- It's still dark. - Forget it.

I don't care.

How could you say that?

My eyes are mine.

Isn't it really simple?

Take your seats.

Your teacher had to take care of something urgent,

so I'm here instead.

Is Ko Eun Ho the only one absent?

- Yes. - Yes.

Okay. He's sick and won't come to school for a while.

What's wrong with him?

I don't know.

Get ready for class.

- Okay. Goodbye. - Okay. Goodbye.

I told you to stop.

Catch me if you can.

I will catch you.

- Ma'am. Hello. - Hi.

- Can I ask you something? - Yes.

Where is number 43?

Go up that way.

- That way? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Sure.

(43 Songjuk-gil)

Is anyone home?

Dong Myung.

Ju Dong Myung.

Dong Myung.

Dong Myung.

This isn't safe.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Eun Ho's shoes are too small for you.

I sold them!

Tell me where he is.

(Team Leader Cha Young Jin)

You said that's the bag found on the roof.

It's not Eun Ho's.

No. I think it is Eun Ho's.

I must see what's inside to be sure,

but it's the bag I saw yesterday morning.

(Police)

You're in.

I should've gotten one more. Do you want mine?

I might not come back today.

Okay.

Don't skip any meals.

Those detectives.

They keep suggesting that Eun Ho jumped.

I told them he's not that kind of kid,

and they said I'd never know if he was trying to hide it.

That no one can know.

(Card receipt, Hongje Bookstore, 32 dollars)

("Marty Pants", Keep your paws off!)

("The Life Before Us")

Are you listening to me?

I will show you that...

they're wrong.

- Hello. - Where's Ms. Cha?

Oh, she went out.

She might not be back today.

I don't know what's going on,

but if she hears this, she'll come running.

- What do you have? - Don't make things worse.

Sir. What do you have?

Once we know, everyone knows.

What a nuisance.

Pastor Kwon Jae Chun used to have an aide...

who was close to Im Hee Jung.

And...

that person disappeared.

What?

(Shinsung Middle School)

(Hongje Bookstore)

(Card receipt, Hongje Bookstore, 32 dollars)

(18 Ilhyeon-ro, Seodaemun-gu)

I can't show it to anyone else.

He's one of my students.

Please help me.

What's the matter?

I'd like to see your surveillance footage.

Thank you.

Detective.

I'd like to check as well.

What happened to Eun Ho.

I need to know.

Thank...

(Yonse Pharmacy)

There are no cameras here.

The phone call.

(Eun Ho)

Hey.

Hello?

It's turned off.

(Nobody Knows)

A button from Eun Ho's school uniform was on the floor.

If traces of Eun Ho's DNA are found on the body...

This isn't a coincidence.

Ha Min Sung. He's a student at Shinsung Middle School.

He's in my class.

How sick is Eun Ho?

It all started at an abandoned building,

so I want to know why the boy jumped from a hotel.

If you were at Millennium Hotel last night,

things will get messy for you.

Eun Ho found money in one of the hotel's restrooms.

30,000 dollars in cash.

This isn't just a hotel to me.

But now eyes are on it because of this incident.

If he had called me just once more,

I could've stopped him from jumping.

This is the only way I can wash off...

any of this guilt.

I will take myself off the stigmata serial murder case.
