Original subtitles

Not even the kindest, sweetest person in the world...

can...

replace you for him.

Eun Ho.

Eun Ho, can you hear me?

My gosh.

I don't know why I'm nervous about this.

Eun Ho.

What I wish for the most...

is for you to wake up...

and to hear you call me...

"Mom."

I've finally realized that it's a blessing...

to have someone call me that.

People don't change overnight,

but...

I'll try my best from now on.

Come in.

Your friend said he'd swing by.

Hold on.

Yes?

Are you Dong Myung?

- Yes. - Come on in.

Is that for us?

Yes.

This is too generous of you.

Chairman Baek bought it for me.

Oh, I see.

You should...

enjoy this with us when his caregiver gets here.

Sure.

Come on and have a seat.

I'd like to see Eun Ho first.

Of course.

How long have you been friends?

Last winter.

I'm sorry.

Eun Ho went through a lot because of me.

Yes, I heard.

I heard you're his best friend.

Yes.

I need to go to work now.

Can you take care of him while I'm gone?

- Sure. - Thanks.

I'll see you again.

Okay.

Min Sung purposely hurt himself today.

I feel like I'll end up taking the blame for it.

But Mr. Baek promised to help.

He's a little weird,

but he seems like a good person.

Eun Ho, I'll be back after I talk to Han Sol.

You want me to hurry?

I can't get there in a second.

I'll be right there. Just wait for a little.

Eun Ho.

You saved my life today,

and this is as precious as my life.

If you keep this for me...

until I come back for it,

I promise I'll repay you.

It won't take too long.

I promise.

Eun Ho.

Ko Eun Ho.

If you can hear me, please open your eyes.

Come on.

Lord, the healer of all illnesses.

Please take a look at this boy, Ko Eun Ho,

and heal him...

with your strength to rescue us.

Please show...

your miracles through this boy.

Isn't it tormenting to always hear someone read you a book?

Let me help you cleanse your ears.

Here it is.

It's 2:32pm, and he's heading to Seodaemun.

That's two hours ago. Where is he going?

(New Life Church)

(Kwon Jae Chun, Seo Sang Won, Im Hee Jung)

(Ko Eun Ho, Jang Ki Ho)

The more I investigate, the more it feels like I'm walking into a maze.

All mazes...

are escapable as long as you don't give up.

It wasn't that long ago when you told me to give up.

I thought you were at a dead end.

It looked like you were going around in circles...

trying to solve a case that had no way out.

Do your best as a cop.

But don't think of it as the most important task...

of your entire life.

Okay.

- Where is Dong Myung? - I sent him home.

By the way, why did you tell him...

that you knew it wasn't him before even checking anything?

I found multiple bloodstains on the wall.

Dong Myung was holding Min Sung's collar from the back.

And it's impossible to hurt him like that from there.

But still,

you can't just say that in front of the kids...

before even carrying out an investigation.

Right. I made a mistake.

Min Sung already told me that he was the one who hurt himself.

There was a scar on the back of his hand as well.

I don't think he wanted to hurt Dong Myung or anything.

Min Sung also looks like he's going through a lot.

But...

I still need to meet him in person and ask him some questions.

Yes, of course.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

Hey.

They found a total of 12 fingerprints on his bag.

Apart from yours and Eun Ho's, there were 10 fingerprints.

(National Forensic Service)

But there are only six identified people.

The rest are probably his classmates.

This was from your book.

(National Forensic Service)

(Fingerprint Identification)

There are nine in total.

But among the seven apart from me and Eun Ho,

three are missing.

They're probably his classmates as well.

Why? What's bothering you?

(Accomplice? Ha Min Sung, Min Sung's driver)

(Shinsung Middle School)

Let's not punish Min Sung for what he did.

As a cop, I'm going to find out Min Sung's secret.

I'll leave you to choose...

what you're going to do as his teacher.

It must be difficult since you guys were so close.

Who told you that?

Who told you my driver and I were close?

It wasn't Dong Myung.

I did this to myself.

Both Min Sung and I...

still have a shot.

- Who are you? - What...

are you doing here?

Do you work here?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know it was so late.

I was just about to leave.

Someone recently died here.

Why were you looking that way?

Do you know Choi Dae Hoon?

Who's that?

- You're a cop, aren't you? - My gosh.

I'm not a cop. I should go now.

He was waiting for me.

I didn't kill Choi Dae Hoon.

Kevin Jung was the one who killed him.

It was Kevin Jung!

Wait.

It's a great privilege to have a choice.

You choose.

Kill me with that.

Or I'll kill you.

I knew it.

Let's go outside together.

Come outside and explain...

what you meant by what you just said.

No, wait. Wait.

You're Lee Young Sik, aren't you?

Do you not have a gun?

I met the devil.

What do you mean?

Getting out alive...

could be a curse.

Don't call it in. It's just a hassle.

Lee Young Sik. You're under arrest for attempted murder on Lee Sun Woo.

You can remain silent,

refuse to give an incriminating statement,

and hire a lawyer.

Ms. Cha.

Thank you.

Do you think they arrested him by now?

No way.

Or he was shot...

for having an episode around an officer.

We should've killed him.

How long do you think Lee Young Sik will be in that state?

I promised to let him live, so I should keep my word.

When the drugs wear off...

and he thinks of what happened that night,

that's when the real fear sets in.

- Watch him carefully. - Sure.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yes.

What made you come here?

I could've died if it hadn't been for you.

You wouldn't have died even if it hadn't been for me.

They got here too.

How did you know I'd be here?

It wasn't me.

No. I followed a suspect.

He was last seen an hour ago near Baekryeonsan Park.

(Baekryeonsan Park, 3:32)

(Baekryeonsan Park)

(Shinsung Middle School)

(Shinsung Middle School)

(Hongje 1-dong)

We're following him in real-time.

He passed the school onto Mugunghwa-ro.

- Towards the derelict building. - Yes.

We're over 15 minutes away. Shall I call for backup?

No.

I'm almost there.

I was surprised to see you here.

Not as surprised as I was.

Why were you here?

Because of you.

- Pardon? - You told me to decide...

what choice to make as a teacher.

I came to find the answer.

Here?

I thought that...

if I were here, I could think only of Eun Ho and Min Sung.

Ms. Cha, we can go.

I'll get your statement tomorrow.

See a doctor.

Thank you.

And...

You're Dong Myung?

Yes.

Let's eat.

What? Is it because of Eun Ho?

I'm not hungry.

I had a hearty meal.

On which floor?

The 10th floor.

Already?

I'm jealous.

It took me a long time to get up there.

Is it just me who thinks...

we're wasting time?

You want to know what I was like.

Quit hesitating and ask away.

I used to take from the weaker kids,

steal from others,

and worked as a voice phishing transporter.

My dad's in prison,

and today I was questioned for assaulting a kid...

I didn't even touch.

What about you?

That opening makes it easier.

My life was similar to yours.

In high school, I was charged for assaulting my homeroom teacher.

I quit school.

Did you really hit your teacher?

I was beating up a kid who had framed me for stealing.

The teacher got in the way.

Are you anxious that...

someone like me is caring for Eun Ho?

- Yes. - What about you?

- Do you think he's safe with you? - What?

If you can't trust me because of my past,

others will think the same of you.

Eun Ho...

doesn't like sweet things.

But for a strange reason, he likes cakes.

Then let's give the cake to the nurses.

Okay.

- Eun Ho saved someone's life? - Yes.

Did he tell you who that person was?

No.

But that person...

wants to meet Eun Ho.

Does he? How do you know that?

An old man was waiting outside our school.

The guy couldn't come in person.

He gave me a phone number.

He asked Eun Ho to call.

A phone number?

He didn't know Eun Ho was hurt,

so I took the note.

- Do you have it now? - Yes.

Did he say why he couldn't come himself?

No.

I guess he's not well yet.

I won't be long.

(Chairman Baek Sang Ho)

(New message)

(Kim Tae Hyung)

(Kim Tae Hyung)

Tae Hyung, what number is this?

Well done.

You did well.

What's the matter?

- I think I've found Jang Ki Ho. - What?

I just knew that...

he'd be trying to get to Eun Ho.

He sent someone to the school to look for the boy.

And...

he even left a phone number.

All right. Let me now call that said number.

Here we go.

0, 1, 0, 4, 0, 3...

What? Do you recognize the number?

I already have it saved on my phone.

Who does it belong to?

Goodness.

Sir.

What do you mean it's a surprise?

Friends shouldn't have a reason to call each other.

- Where are you at the moment? - The diner we last went to.

Don't you need more money for the meal?

I'm sure it's running out.

Well, I've been frugal.

My gosh.

I'll pay more than the amount I paid last time.

Really?

May you be blessed.

Anyway, have you still...

not heard from Jang Ki Ho?

I'm afraid I have no updates.

I see. All right.

Enjoy your dinner then.

(Restricted Area)

Let us check what you just said.

- We're good. - Sure.

Kevin Jung was the mastermind. Is that correct?

I want a verbal answer.

- Yes. - He didn't tell you...

how he found out that Eun Ho took the money.

He ordered you to bring back the backpack,

but after seeing that the money wasn't in it,

he ordered you to go after the boy.

Kevin Jung introduced you to Choi Dae Hoon...

and Choi Dae Hoon was hired to collect the money.

Where's the money?

Where's the 30,000 dollars?

Darn it.

Getting greedy over money already?

You punk.

I'll ask you one last time.

Where's the 30,000 dollars?

Where is it?

Tell me. Where is it?

Where is it?

Then Choi Dae Hoon drove his car...

and came to the derelict building?

Is that correct?

Answer me verbally.

Yes.

Things escalated,

and Kevin Jung and Choi Dae Hoon began to fight.

To calm down,

Choi Dae Hoon drank the beverage Kevin Jung brought...

and lost consciousness.

Move.

You were too high two days ago...

to know where you were.

Kevin Jung came by and you did heroin together.

Then you went to his house...

and injected him with meth per his request.

Before you knew it, Kevin Jung stopped breathing.

Is that what happened?

Yes.

What do you two think?

There's a critical error in his statement.

Yes, that Choi Dae Hoon drove his car at night.

- That's right. - So?

It seems like Choi Dae Hoon was added...

just to fit his made-up story.

He knows what basically happened,

but not the details.

So the culprit is still out there?

I don't know...

if he could take the fall.

Back at the building, he said he met the devil.

Someone could be behind all this.

Someone who knows the outlines of this case,

but not about the fact that Choi Dae Hoon has night blindness.

It seems like Choi Dae Hoon was added...

just to fit his made-up story.

"I'm the one who's making his life hard."

That's what Eun Ho said.

He said that he was the one who was making Min Sung suffer.

Min Sung,

look at me.

I'm Cha Young Jin of...

Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency's Homicide Team One.

Are you Min Sung's mother?

The detective who came by today heard everything,

so ask him.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you hurting yourself?

Just beat up others instead.

It's better than being branded as a nutcase.

Don't touch that.

Nothing went smoothly since you were born.

Do you have any idea how much we poured into your treatment?

And we're only getting started.

Say something!

I'll stop.

I really will.

Darn it!

Are you in the bathroom?

A friend of Eun Ho's brought it by.

- Sleep well then. - Thanks.

For those who believe

The Lord spoke

In a few days

We will meet after crossing the Jordan River

In a few days

Ki Ho, it's me.

Open up.

Who are you? Show yourself.

It's me, Baek Sang Ho.

Gosh, I almost had a heart attack.

Why did you startle me like that?

You startled me as well.

I can't believe you were secretly hiding Jang Ki Ho here.

Wait. Let me explain.

- Take him away. - Hey, listen to me.

Ki Ho.

(Nobody Knows)

Ki Ho, it's been so long.

I was going to tell you at the right time.

You went to New Life Church for a long time, right?

I'm guessing you know Jang Ki Ho.

You should ask Sun Woo.

Why does he need to get transferred?

He did nothing wrong!

Mr. Lee!

Jang Ki Ho gave something to Eun Ho.

And his bag disappeared after that.

That means someone's looking for what Jang Ki Ho gave him.

The person who's after that is probably the one...

who's behind all this.

Poor thing.

Do you want me to kill you?

Tell me everything you know about Jang Ki Ho.

Han Sol! Han Sol!

Where are you?

Was it because of Dong Myung?

Or was there something else?
