Take your time. Don't worry and give it a try.

Do I really need to do this?

Why? Are you scared?

You still need to try.

What if this really happens one day?

Are you going to get scared and stay in the building?

I don't think I can do it.

Okay, I won't force you.

Instead, make sure you don't forget what you learned today.

- Okay. - Okay.

Can you please unbuckle her?

- Careful. - Hyun Jeong.

- What? - If you want to live, just jump.

- If you want to live. - Hey, come on.

- Hyun Jeong, are you okay? - Yes.

- Good job. Will you help her? - Sure.

You saved her life.

Don't smile. It's your turn now.

Get ready.

I'm scared.

Everyone, pay attention and learn.

- Okay. - Okay.

Careful.

You can jump when you're ready.

(Episode 10)

Mr. Lee.

What are you doing here?

Eun Ho...

What about him?

He wasn't pushed by anyone.

He wanted to live. He jumped...

so he could live.

He knew that he won't reach the ground.

But he jumped anyway...

because he wanted to live.

What was he being chased by?

He's just a 15-year-old kid.

Your nails have grown.

Ko Eun Ho.

We should kill him once he wakes up, right?

Although he did jump from this height to live.

It's such a waste to kill that kid.

But...

there's nothing I can do.

After all, this was all created by Detective Cha.

- Don't you agree? - Sang Ho.

Things are getting complicated.

We never should've saved him.

Do you think that's where things went wrong?

Or...

(New Life Church)

My goodness, Mr. Jang Ki Ho.

I'm surprised to see you here.

I heard...

you went somewhere for the past couple of days.

Where were you?

Did you go somewhere nice?

Have you been well?

That's a bit too tight. How do you plan to leave?

I can find my way out.

Have you been well?

Yes. You look nice.

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere.

We haven't met in a while. We should catch up.

Next time.

You'll get hurt if you run at your age.

I'll see you next time.

Mr. Jang.

Mr. Jang!

Du Seok, I lost him.

Me?

I'm locked inside.

Darn it.

(Emergency Center)

Hey.

What's his name?

Ko Eun Ho?

Ko Eun Ho. Ko Eun Ho.

Go after the kid.

If he has what we're looking for, Jang Ki Ho will eventually show up.

Stop punishing them.

I think they get the message now.

You guys are still standing there?

What should we do with the kid?

He saved someone's life.

So I should reward him.

Today, at Shinsung Middle School,

I saw light and darkness.

(Ko Eun Ho)

(Study Room)

It's not here.

(Restricted Area)

Great work.

("The Life Before Us")

"Sometimes I stand at the mirror..."

"and try to imagine..."

"what I’ll be like when life has done a job on me."

"I put my fingers in my mouth,"

"tug at my lips, and make faces and wonder..."

"if this is what I'd look like."

This looks fun.

(You must love one another.)

Gosh, come on.

This is such a corny ending.

(Romain Gary)

(Self-inflicted gunshot wound...)

He shot himself?

His philosophy of life...

is what got him killed.

This is what I'd have written.

"They must be saved."

(I can't tell you. But... Still help me.)

What a plucky kid.

(But... Still help me.)

Hee Dong. Now that you look back, where did it start to go wrong?

Well, I guess,

if I hadn't let Jang Ki Ho get away...

You jerk. If you had...

gotten Eun Ho's bag as soon as he left the ER,

that would've been the end of it!

It all went wrong...

with Eun Ho.

His consideration for others ruined our plan.

I'd like to travel to the past and tell Eun Ho that...

malice is repaid by malice,

but goodwill doesn't always come back to you as goodwill.

Evil commands but good...

is complicated.

That one must watch their back.

Come in.

Welcome.

(Ko Eun Ho)

Thank you.

When does your brother leave hospital?

In two weeks.

Come and get your hair done. I'll do it for free.

I'm sorry.

For what?

For being friends with Eun Ho.

Was it when he was seven?

He'd help the old man who collected scrap paper.

I didn't like it, but I let him. I thought he'd quit after a while.

But that old fool...

dragged Eun Ho around and made him work.

My mom was a nobody.

She used to say this.

"If you're nice, even animals will mock you."

"You must be headstrong."

It's true.

If you're nice, you're mocked and taken advantage of.

Eun Ho lost out,

but he gained a friend.

I'm sorry.

I think...

I have more to apologize for to Eun Ho.

For being his mom.

Eun Ho never spoke badly about you.

He wouldn't have said anything nice either.

Sorry.

My gosh.

He jumped of his own accord.

He jumped of his own accord.

Do you think Eun Ho used the descending life line?

When I first heard that he'd fallen from this building,

I just thought it was a miracle...

that he survived.

But if one falls from this height,

it's the equivalent of a car slamming into...

a cement wall at 95km per hour.

Without a seat belt or an airbag.

But if he were at that height...

With the hope that maybe he would survive,

he took off the belt.

But even from that height...

Mr. Lee.

Yes?

If Eun Ho used a descending life line, it won't be this one.

Why is there one that isn't the right length?

Yes. You're right.

Even if the rope had snapped,

when the hotel staff found Eun Ho,

the safety belt on this would still be fastened.

It's impossible to undo it...

between the time he fell and was found.

So...

he didn't fall because of the malfunctioned life line.

To the person chasing him,

Eun Ho using the life line...

was something they didn't consider.

There's no reason to set up...

a life line that's too short.

They swapped it after his fall.

To cover their tracks,

they swapped the descending life line.

While doing so,

they messed up by putting in the short one.

Do you think that...

one of the hotel staff is another accomplice in the crime?

If the culprit works at the hotel,

that explains why they had to bring Eun Ho here...

from the derelict building.

That is what is strange.

Why would they commit a crime where they are based?

This is a hotel.

Detective Cha.

If you're hiding something,

please tell me now.

There's more, isn't there?

This case...

didn't begin when Eun Ho found the 30,000 dollars.

It started when he saved Jang Ki Ho.

I saw the ER's surveillance footage.

Jang Ki Ho gave Eun Ho something,

and he put it in his backpack.

After that, his backpack disappeared and he fell,

and his backpack mysteriously reappeared.

The person who stole Eun Ho's bag...

to get what Jang Ki Ho gave him.

That person is the culprit.

The culprit...

didn't mean to hurt Eun Ho.

Then he was taken from the building to the hotel...

He was rescued from Choi Dae Hoon.

Because Eun Ho was a special person...

who had what Jang Ki Ho gave him.

But there were no notable wounds on Choi Dae Hoon's body.

Neither Eun Ho nor Choi Dae Hoon fought back as they were taken.

That means it's someone they knew.

Who could it be that...

Eun Ho went with him?

He went there because a friend asked to see him...

in an empty building that's about to collapse.

Despite being suspicious.

He trusted this person as a friend.

Trusting is how you get betrayed.

15-year-old me...

We shouldn't have gotten involved then.

Should I have stepped back then?

So, you threatened Min Sung?

What?

Get up, kid. This won't do.

Today,

I'll correct your mistaken notion of friendship.

Say it. Say that you'll keep quiet.

Stop it.

Say what I want you to say.

Spare me.

You should step on him harder!

(Ko Eun Ho)

Kids...

grow even when you step on them.

You don't know what that means?

Darn it. Come here.

Come here.

Listen.

You know what?

Kids become adults one day...

if you let them live.

You...

Yesterday, at the school gate.

Yes, that was me.

The kid's name.

It's Ha Min Sung, isn't it?

I can explain what's going on.

Hey.

Are you okay? Shall we go to a hospital?

I don't think it's that bad.

Okay. Then what now?

Shall I call the cops?

- Eun... Eun Ho. - Hey.

What do you want?

All right.

Can you let the adults talk now?

Go with my friend and wait in my car.

Do you want some company?

I'm fine.

What about my backpack and phone?

I'll get them for you. Just get some rest.

Do you know who I am?

Yes.

You're the chairman of New Life Foundation.

Min Sung...

must be upset because of what I said and did.

- Sir, what you saw... - Hey.

Let me talk first.

I'm not someone suspicious, so don't be scared of me.

Confucius said...

that fathers conceal their sons' sins.

It seems as though you care for Min Sung...

like a father would care for his son.

No wonder why...

I mistook you for his actual father.

So I'll put that into consideration...

as I present my options.

- My options? - A,

I'll follow the laws of man and call the police.

- Please no... - B,

let me have my way.

And what would that be?

It's nothing really.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

You'll feel the fear that Eun Ho felt tonight.

Don't you worry though.

You won't get hurt or die.

You never intended to harm Eun Ho either, right?

All you wanted to do was scare him.

The same goes for me.

So,

which will it be?

All right.

Your way.

("The Life Before Us")

Gosh.

Are you all right?

If so, how about we go to my hotel?

The view from my office is to die for.

Get your lip checked out and enjoy some snacks.

We'll also talk.

I just think it'll be better for you to calm down before going home.

How will your mother feel when she sees you?

Goodness.

She'll worry.

- Yes. - Right.

Then let's go.

What about my backpack?

Mr. Oh... My friend from earlier collected it.

He'll bring it to the hotel.

- Isn't he riding with us? - What?

We came in separate cars.

Who could've Eun Ho voluntarily left with?

Someone from the hotel...

that he has seen before...

and someone who also knows Jang Ki Ho...

Chairman Baek Sang Ho.

No, it can't be Sang Ho.

If it weren't for Sang Ho,

Eun Ho wouldn't have been able to go into surgery that quickly.

The VIP ward and his caregiver...

He needed Eun Ho to live...

because Eun Ho has the information he needs.

Putting Eun Ho in a VIP ward with a caregiver he hired...

is the perfect way to keep an eye on Eun Ho.

Fine. Let's say that it was Sang Ho.

Why on earth...

did Eun Ho go as far...

as to jumping off the rooftop?

He's still a kid.

Whatever Sang Ho wanted,

he could've just handed it over.

That's what I'm going to find out.

I'll find out why Eun Ho had to make such a choice.

Yes, Ms. Cha.

- Where are you? - With Lee Young Sik, ma'am.

(Restricted Area)

He's fully practicing his right to remain silent.

At this rate,

he might even make a vow of silence.

We haven't been able to verify his sister's address though.

- Her phone number... - Put officers on it...

and head to Eun Ho with Ja Young.

Stay with him until I get there.

No one is to enter except for his mom and medical staff,

not even his caregiver.

I found a new lead at the hotel. I'll inform you when I get there.

Yes, ma'am.

Eun Ho jumped...

an hour after arriving at the hotel.

Up until now, we thought...

he was brought up here by the perps,

but he actually could've been in Baek Sang Ho's office.

Have you been there yourself?

No.

Don't you want to?

Dong Myung was invited there too.

I wonder what he ate, what he saw, and what they talked about.

Sang Ho, it's me.

Are you busy?

If not, how about we grab some dinner?

With Detective Cha Young Jin.

Sounds good. Where?

Here?

Sure.

Not right now, but maybe in an hour.

Sure. I'll see you then.

We'll meet in an hour.

Thank you.

I'm sure it wasn't Sang Ho.

He may be odd at times, but he's not one...

to hurt children.

Back when I was young,

I met Sang Ho at church.

He was raised in the church orphanage...

and was kind to the others.

Even as we speak, many children benefit...

from his generosity.

What about Seo Sang Won?

Until his mask was unveiled,

he was a pastor known to care for children.

In terms of justice,

one wicked act can outweigh even 100 good deeds.

Don't get me wrong though.

I'm not actually saying that Baek Sang Ho is the culprit.
