(Episode 9)

What are you doing in someone else's house?

It isn't exactly your place either.

I called numerous times hoping that I could meet you.

Do you remember me? I saw you in school today.

Sorry, I took it without permission.

I just wanted to talk to you, you see.

It's hard, isn't it?

You think you caused a friend to die.

How is that my fault?

It wasn't me who drove him there.

I'm truly glad if that's how you think.

Could you sit down for a second?

Are you really Eun Ho's friend?

Yes.

Just like you and Choi Dae Hoon.

You looked happy in the photos he had on his phone.

Chief Hwang told me everything.

Uncle Dae Hoon said...

he was only going to scare Eun Ho.

I believe that too.

But I don't believe that Eun Ho took your money.

Because you're on his side.

I thought that Eun Ho...

wasn't capable of lying or doing bad things.

But I was wrong though.

He could if he put his mind to it.

However, I came to know one thing for certain.

Him lying and doing bad things...

were never for his own sake.

Doesn't it hurt?

Of course it hurts.

Does that...

lessen your heartache?

Once you start to feel better,

you'll slowly stop hurting yourself.

How is that possible?

Because of me, Eun Ho got hurt and Uncle Dae Hoon died.

So how will I ever feel better?

My friend...

got murdered when she was 18.

She called me three times before she died.

But I didn't pick up because I couldn't be bothered.

For the longest time, I blamed myself for her death.

But that's really the worst thing you could ever do to yourself.

Whether I picked up or not,

she never should've gotten murdered in the first place.

The culprit is the only one responsible for my friend's death.

The same goes for you.

You're not responsible for Eun Ho's accident...

and Choi Dae Hoon's death. The only thing you did wrong...

was that you ignored the fact that Eun Ho was going to get hurt.

That's it.

What happened after that...

has nothing to do with you.

It's not your fault.

Uncle...

Uncle...

Ki Ho.

Long time no see.

Who are you?

Do you go to New Life Church?

- What? - I mean...

I came in because I saw the church symbol outside.

That's been there ever since I've known this place.

Get out of here.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'll leave.

I apologize.

My goodness.

How can I resolve your misunderstanding?

It's not like I can show you how I really feel.

Actually, you can.

Sang Ho.

Chairman Baek.

Chairman Baek.

I like hearing you say that.

You need to live a long life...

if I want to keep hearing you call me that.

I was waiting for the right time to tell you.

Ki Ho told me that he needs to get something from a kid.

So I was going to wait until then...

Do you know what it is that he needs to receive?

Well...

I figured he might shut his mouth if I kept asking him questions.

Darn it.

I'm sorry for interrupting you.

It's hard...

to look up as I talk to you.

My neck hurts.

It's way better to look down on you like this.

I like this place.

It's in the middle of nowhere.

So no one's here to watch.

I totally misjudged you.

If I knew you for who you really are,

I wouldn't have been so cunning for such a small amount of money.

You don't just need Ki Ho.

You also need what the kid has.

But Ki Ho is the only person who knows what that is.

Am I correct?

- Keep going. - Why don't we settle a deal?

I'll convince Ki Ho...

and find out what he gave to the kid.

Drink up.

You cried enough to fill this entire cup.

I'm sorry, but you need to check something for me.

- What's that? - I'm going to show you a photo.

You just need to tell me if you recognize anyone.

Can you do that for me?

Yes.

I don't know him.

I don't know him.

It's late. You should go.

Did you show me these photos...

because of Uncle Dae Hoon?

Did he do something bad with them?

We don't know yet.

We're keeping all our options open as we investigate.

I know Uncle Dae Hoon wasn't a good person.

But...

he was good to me because he pitied me.

He was the only person...

I could be honest with.

Did he know that you were hurting yourself?

Yes.

And you knew about his night blindness?

There are a lot of motion sensing lights in this house.

I also checked his medical records.

I guess you guys knew everything about each other.

I also thought I knew everything about Eun Ho.

I'll come back.

I hope we meet often. Call me if you need my help.

And don't ignore my calls.

Okay, I'll see you.

(Mr. Lee Sun Woo)

Min Sung.

Dong Myung.

Why did you do this?

(Mr. Lee Sun Woo)

Dong Myung.

I was talking to Eun Ho's mother over the phone,

and she told me you were here, so I waited for you.

Why did you get hurt?

I tripped big time.

Why didn't you answer the phone?

Because I didn't want to.

You hypocrite.

I kept telling you to mind your own business.

But you ignored me and kept pretending like you cared.

You made me put my guard down.

But the moment he lies to you, you go ahead and ask me...

why I hurt him?

Before you even checked what really happened,

you asked me why I hurt him?

I'm sorry.

I guess...

this guy still steals stuff.

Hello?

Hey, are you heading home?

Yes.

Don't go anywhere else. Hurry up and go home.

- Okay. - Bye.

I should go.

Are you going to your brother's hospital?

I'll give you a ride.

No thanks.

Min Sung said that he hurt himself.

I'll tell you the rest on the way.

Let's go.

(Recent calls)

(Chairman Baek Sang Ho)

Did he say why he did that to Eun Ho?

Not yet.

His driver hurt him, didn't he?

That's still being investigated.

He did it.

That's why Min Sung freaked out.

Dong Myung.

Min Sung's driver.

What about him?

He's dead.

How?

Kevin Jung killed Choi Dae Hoon.

Kevin Jung killed him!

Mr. Lee.

I don't know the details.

And...

I'm sorry but...

I can't tell you even if I did.

I told Min Sung to be careful around his driver.

That he's not human.

You didn't know.

Even if he's dead,

it doesn't change that he's a bad person.

And Min Sung's a jerk as well.

Even bad people...

feel sad and in pain...

when someone close to them dies.

Eun Ho and I were in the same class in second grade.

- This is so good. - But what?

I feel bad for people who can't eat this.

Like who?

A kid in my class.

If you won't tell, don't even start.

It was a long time ago,

when I was really young.

- Sounds like fun. - No way.

Oh, come on.

So,

this kid in my class in second grade.

He asked me why I don't have a dad.

I said this.

"He died from eating too much shrimp."

You knew he was allergic to shrimp?

That's why I said that.

How cruel.

And?

He cried.

I comforted him by saying he ate too much and died of a full belly.

I put up with him because he started following me around.

Suddenly, one day, he pretended I was invisible.

His mom had told him not to play with poor kids.

I'm poor and have no dad.

So, does he still act like you're invisible?

We made eye contact.

He waved so I just ignored him.

Well done.

Do you have a shrimp allergy?

How do you know that?

Eun Ho mentioned it once.

I should've asked your name then.

I texted Eun Ho...

the answers to the mid-term exam.

Without saying it was for the mid-term.

I wanted us to be friends again.

My grades improved, but Eun Ho...

skipped the essay questions because he could see the answers.

Did Eun Ho tell you to come forward?

However much I begged,

he said he wouldn't let it go.

If I didn't come clean, he said he would.

That's what he meant when he said he was bullying you.

Yes.

My mom...

will go to prison, right?

Maybe.

Don't think it's your fault.

We each pay the price for what we did.

Did Choi Dae Hoon ever try to take Eun Ho's backpack?

To delete evidence from his phone.

I never thought about that.

But...

I think someone got into Eun Ho's locker.

Do you know who?

But I saw some guy.

Today, at Shinsung Middle School,

I saw light and darkness.

(New Life Foundation Prize for Good Conduct)

What do you think the difference is between humans and beasts?

Afterward,

Eun Ho asked me if I'd picked his padlock.

It wasn't any of the men whose photos I showed you?

Then I'd have said I'd seen him.

If we find that man,

can you identify him?

- Yes. - Thank you.

Everything you told me today was a great help.

- Really? - Yes.

Call if you want to talk.

(Lieutenant Cha Young Jin)

I told you everything.

If you want to talk about anything.

- Okay. - Let's hurry.

Before they freak out that you're missing.

(Main Building)

Go on inside.

Goodbye.

Dong Myung.

Do you mind if I meet your brother?

He'll be asleep.

You're right.

Sleep well.

(Main Building)

Mr. Lee.

Your voice is a bit low.

- Were you asleep? - I was about to fall asleep.

I see.

Sorry. Go to sleep.

Why did you call?

Why do you think? I wanted to hear your voice.

Go to sleep.

Why did he call?

He just...

wanted to hear my voice.

I guess he's worried about you.

Goodbye.

Min Sung.

I'll worry about you too now.

If you sleep well and eat well,

and if you're feeling better.

Eun Ho won't like that.

Will he? I don't think so.

Even if he does, it can't be helped.

Can I do that?

Well...

- I'll think about it. - Okay.

Think and give me a call.

If we're to make a deal,

there must be trust or collateral.

You have nothing but your tongue.

"Look, I am coming soon!"

"My reward is with me,"

"and I will give to each person according to what they have done."

Ki Ho promised me an award.

Then he asked me to visit...

this kid, Eun Ho.

Doesn't that mean that I'm the only person...

Ki Ho has to rely on?

I don't focus on people.

I focus on what that person can give to me.

I'm the one who got you all wrong.

I really had no idea that...

you have such tremendous guts.

So this is it.

Listen.

Even when your life's on the line,

you just talk freely.

Hello, it's Ki Ho.

Hello? Hello?

- Ki Ho? - Yes.

Where are you?

I was shocked to see you'd gone.

Yes. I had to check something.

Stay right there. I'll come for you.

If you can't get rid of the hand, you must take it.

If I were to...

offer to help you out without anything in return,

you wouldn't believe me.

- Say what you want. - Well,

you said you like this place, right?

Buy the place at 20 times its market price.

Ki Ho's waiting for me.

Fine.

I'll buy it.

Sang Ho, is that how he's always been?

I thought he was a harmless old man,

but he's as cunning as 10 foxes.

Are you really going to buy this place?

The land's useless.

How is it useless?

It'll make a nice burial ground.

Du Seok, my man.

Let's make sure to dig him a cozy grave.

Okay.

Goodness.

(Team Leader Cha Young Jin)

I think someone got into Eun Ho's locker.

He put something in, not take it out?

Jang Ki Ho, what did you give to Eun Ho?

Sir, you're here.

I can't believe how busy I am.

So what did you think about Dong Myung?

- He's a sweet kid. - Like you were?

I was 18 when I first met you.

Look at you.

A three-year gap between teenagers...

sure seems like a lifetime, doesn't it?

Three years...

were enough to make me a different man too.

Let's sit.

Bring the recording device with you.

Tae Hyung, the recording device.

Oh, right.

It's gone.

What are you talking about?

Move.

I wonder how this happened.

Was Dong Myung in the room by himself?

No.

Hold on.

Yes, I'm listening.

Ki Ho went by to see that boy Eun Ho today.

Right, I see.

Keep it up with the updates then.

Don't you worry about the recording device.

Have a seat.

I'm sure it get stuffy in here.

It's better now.

I've gotten closer to Eun Ho too.

I knew it.

I was right to appoint you as his caregiver.

Are Dong Myung and Eun Ho in the same class?

I don't think so. Why do you ask?

- It's nothing. - How silly of you.

Chairman Baek must be inside.

Yes.

Do you always accompany him?

Most of the time, yes.

And your name?

(Manager Oh Du Seok)

Mr. Baek...

was at Shinsung Middle School to present a prize on October 30.

- That's right. - I'm guessing you were there too.

Yes.

Aren't you curious...

as to why I asked you that?

I never bother with unnecessary actions.

You wouldn't tell me even if I asked.

My goodness. I didn't expect to meet you twice a day.

- Could you spare me some time? - Of course.

Mr. Oh, head home first.

It won't take long.

Go home and get some rest.

- I'll see you around. - Sure.

You asked me...

which of the two I would choose today.

Regarding the drug deal? Did you find the culprits?

You said you hoped for redemption over justice.

May I ask...

which is which?

I'm afraid you misunderstood me.

The action of choosing between options...

is redemption itself.

You haven't made your choice yet, have you?

Justice will punish both people,

but redemption can be an opportunity.

There's no good or evil.

Well,

you told me there were both gone,

so I had a terrible feeling.

I was just throwing about words in hopes of...

at least one being all right.

Never did I know that you'd take it seriously.

You prayed numerous years at New Life Church, did you not?

I guess you can say that I went by the place a lot.

Whatever the case is, you must know Im Hee Jung...

and Jang Ki Ho well.

They devoted their lives to the church.

Why do you ask about the two though?

Reason or no reason,

it's my job to ask and listen.

Yes, of course.

Whatever it is you want to know,

you should ask Yun Hee Seob... No, wait.

Asking Sun Woo will be faster.

Mr. Lee?

Yes, I'm sure he picked up on a few things since he was a boy.

Hold on. Didn't you know?

It seems to me that you didn't know...

about Sun Woo being next in line to take over Shinsung Foundation.

Goodness me.

What a mistake I've made.
