(All characters, organizations, places, entities, and events...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

(Please be aware of any unpleasant or unsettling content.)

Don't be scared.

I'm here to save you.

Your painful life might've made you crumble,

but my love will get you back on your feet.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Eun Ho.

I'm tired.

Thank you...

for being alive.

Young Jin.

Are you awake?

What about the plant?

Is it still alive?

Why are you crying?

Mom, what are you doing here?

Goodness.

My gosh.

Eun Ho!

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Eun Ho...

Was I injured?

Don't you remember?

No.

It's all right, Eun Ho. It's fine.

I'll bring his doctor.

No, let me.

I might blurt out everything...

when I shouldn't.

Let me go instead.

I'll go.

The plant is doing fine.

It won't die just because you didn't water it once.

Once?

Then is the calendar on the wrong page?

What date...

should it be to you?

Not date, but month.

I'm missing a month from my life.

(Episode 11)

The conversation between

Inspector Cha and Seo Sang Won are still unknown.

Many speculate that Inspector Cha took out...

her personal grudge on him...

Sang Ho, Eun Ho's awake.

She could've abused her power to...

Wait here.

The ninth killing in the serial murders...

Let's see.

Can you wiggle your toes for me?

Good.

- You'll soon be going home. - Thank you.

Short-term memory loss usually resolves itself,

so don't stress too much about it.

Please let me know if anything's uncomfortable.

Of course. Thank you.

- Doctor. - Yes?

My memories...

Could they be gone forever?

I'm not sure. It's not exactly my area of expertise.

Another doctor will see you tomorrow.

Get some rest then.

Right. Thank you, doctor.

Doctor.

Yes?

You can go ahead.

Is there no particular cure for memory loss?

Amnesia isn't my area of expertise.

What I do know...

is that the patient shouldn't be asked any stressful questions.

I hear you.

Also, about what you have just told me.

Are you also going to tell Mr. Baek this?

Pardon?

Haven't you been...

reporting to him about Eun Ho's condition?

Yes, he paid for his hospital bills.

Yes, of course. He's probably dying to know.

Tell him everything about Eun Ho's condition including...

the fact that he can't recall what happened during the past month.

Tell Mr. Baek...

that Eun Ho unfortunately won't be able...

to recognize him.

Nothing got damaged, so it's probably dissociative amnesia.

There aren't any treatments for this kind of amnesia.

He could suddenly remember everything...

or slowly remember bit by bit.

Or he might never remember what happened.

(Neurologist, Park Sung Jin)

Someone's here to see me.

No problem. Okay.

You're here.

I was just about to call you.

Were you talking to someone more important than me?

It's just a friend from high school.

He can't remember what happened during the past month?

That means he can't remember Jang Ki Ho.

But Jang Ki Ho will remember him.

Chairman Yun, what brings you to call me at this hour?

Where are you right now? I'd like to meet you.

Would you like a new cup of tea?

No, it's okay.

If it's too hot, I can't gulp it down like this.

I'd either have to sip on it...

or wait for it to cool down.

I wanted to ask the kid something.

But he lost his memory.

I can't gulp it down.

(The Inspector Who Witnessed Seo Sang Won's Death...)

(Was a Friend of the Eight Victim)

(Maybe she purposely pushed him from the rooftop.)

What a darn lunatic. This is so annoying.

Hey.

- What was that for? - Shut it, will you?

This is stakeout. What do you think you're doing?

Gosh, you still didn't need to hit my mouth.

Then what? Should I have hit your neck?

- What do the comments say? - Don't even ask.

Do they think Ms. Cha purposely let Seo Sang Won die...

because she wanted to take revenge?

People say she did a good job...

and that they would've done the same thing.

- Then what's the problem? - But some lunatic...

is saying she stabbed his hands and purposely pushed him...

from the rooftop.

And people keep liking this comment.

My gosh.

We know for a fact...

that she wasn't the one who stabbed Seo Sang Won's hands.

When she got there, he was already bleeding out.

Exactly.

- What? - What?

That's it? What else?

"What else"?

No one else would know other than Ms. Cha.

Hey, there it is.

(Did She Investigate for 18 Years to Take Revenge?)

What did he say?

Why do you even ask?

It's not like you can do anything.

You guys should go home and get some rest.

Ms. Cha will end up...

facing a huge load of trouble soon.

And we might get involved as well.

Especially you, Jae Hong.

You were there when Seo Sang Won fell from the rooftop.

You guys should go.

Okay, sir.

You too, Officer Yun.

Yes, sir.

- Did Officer Yun call you? - Yes.

What is the matter with you?

You caused a mess for everyone at work,

and you still make me call you first?

I'm sorry.

Eun Ho woke up...

Even so, how could you...

Eun Ho woke up?

Yes, but he can't remember anything.

Not just the accident...

but the entire past month.

Sir...

Sir, I'll see you tomorrow at the office.

I need to deal with something more important right now.

There you are.

I just heard about Eun Ho's condition.

My gosh, I'd love to meet him.

But right now, I'm a stranger to him.

So I should hold back, right?

Yes, just hang in there.

He'll quickly get his memory back.

Of course.

Detective Cha, do you want Eun Ho...

to get his memory back?

I guess you don't.

What's so important about knowing the truth?

It's not like anything will change.

Do you really think it'd be worth the pain?

For me, yes.

No, no.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about Eun Ho.

Eun Ho's brain...

is trying to protect him...

from pain and danger.

Isn't that amazing?

Does that mean he'll be in danger...

once he gets his memory back?

My goodness.

You got the wrong message again.

The more he starts to remember,

the more he might remember things...

that he'd rather just forget.

And that will last forever.

Wouldn't that be like living in a nightmare?

(Special Crime Squad)

You look like you lost the country or something.

Have you ever seen anyone who's lost their country?

I'm sorry, but don't get on my nerves.

- Will you please... - I have a favor to ask.

- Go ahead. - Did you write your report...

based on exactly what you saw on the day that Seo Sang Won died?

Ms. Cha probably seemed a little suspicious that day.

But you didn't write that down.

- So what? - I want you...

to keep your statement consistent with the report you wrote.

- Aren't you angry? - About what?

That she never told us that she was friends with the victim?

If she didn't tell us,

she wouldn't have been able to be in charge of the case.

Ms. Cha should be the one telling me all this stuff.

Why must I hear all this from you?

Because Ms. Cha would feel too bad to ask you this.

I don't want to lose her.

We're finally seeing progress with Eun Ho's case.

And the same goes for the stigmata serial murders...

What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Why did you suddenly join our team?

Does Ms. Cha have something on you?

Do you really think she'd use...

my weakness against me to force me to join her team?

Who knows?

She looked at a photo of her friend's corpse with us,

but she didn't even blink.

I overheard her talk about the conversation she had...

with Seo Sang Won on the rooftop.

She couldn't write it on the report.

Seo Sang Won might've had an accomplice.

Please do me a favor.

Please stick to your report when they ask you questions.

If you refuse to do this for me, I'll just have to confess...

that I already knew everything.

Are you threatening me?

Who uses something they like to threaten someone?

- Mom. - Yes?

You should get some rest.

Are you tired? Do you want to lie down?

No, I'm okay.

Then let's stay like this for a bit longer.

Once you fall asleep, I'll...

Mom.

How did I get hurt?

I'll tell you...

once you get better.

Mom.

Did I tell you anything strange...

before I got hurt?

Hey, you're here.

Come on in.

Don't you have any questions for me?

Eun Ho.

Next time.

I actually have a lot of questions for you.

But right now, I'm only going to ask you one thing.

If you had to hide something, where would you put it?

It depends on whether...

it's a thing or a secret.

- It's a thing. - What thing?

I don't know.

What is it that I had to hide?

It's not like I'd come across a lot of money.

What if someone asked you to keep something safe for a while?

Is it related to how I got injured?

No. It happened before you got hurt.

You saved a man's life and was awarded...

It's not important to you,

but it is important to the person who left it with you.

Where do you think...

you'd have kept it?

In my apartment?

The balcony or study?

Or the kitchen.

Okay.

You should...

rest now. Lie down.

- So Yeon, you should... - Why!

Why won't anyone tell me anything?

Why won't anyone tell me how I ended up like this?

It wasn't a car crash, was it?

I can tell you what I think,

but only you know the whole truth.

Do you still want to hear?

I don't want him to regain the memory.

Losing a month of his life won't affect his future, will it?

It can't have been a good memory.

I don't want him to be scared or suffer.

You fell from a roof 10 floors high.

Young Jin!

You used the descending life line,

then halfway down, you untied yourself and fell.

That's what I know so far.

I will not stop until I know the whole truth.

But I might fail.

That's enough.

Do you mind living with an incomplete puzzle?

It might feel like living a fractured life.

Come outside.

Come outside. Right now.

Just because you did,

don't force my son to live like that.

- What does that mean? - I read the news.

The schoolgirl, the eighth victim of the stigmata serial murders.

She was your friend, right?

Did finding the culprit...

make you feel better?

She found him at last.

Um, this one.

No.

Wrap the bulgogi in lettuce.

- In lettuce? - Yes. Make a wrap.

Are your hands clean?

You didn't wash them?

Gosh, that's gross.

Wash your hands clean.

As the atmosphere becomes tense...

Hey, Du Seok.

Hey, hey. Hey!

Eat what I give you.

- What are you doing? - Then eat porridge.

The gazelle runs away at top speed.

The cheetah runs for food...

Watch it.

and the gazelle runs to live.

They're both running to survive.

Is this fun?

The animal world is...

an endless cycle of eating and being eaten.

What about humans then?

What do you mean?

We're animals too.

Memory loss.

Do you think they're lying to put us off guard?

Who?

Cha Young Jin? Lee Sun Woo?

Do you think they'd gamble with a kid?

If his memory never returns, the kid is of no use.

The best outcome is...

for Eun Ho to regain his memory,

and when Jang Ki Ho comes to reclaim what he gave Eun Ho,

we catch Ki Ho.

We'll kill the kid, right?

Let's just kill them both.

Without the kid and Jang Ki Ho,

your secret will be buried forever.

No. That's the most boring scenario.

Du Seok.

Unless we find and destroy it, it never disappears.

It exists some place I don't know.

Whenever I think of that,

I want to just blow up planet earth.

That's how annoying it is.

- Eun Ho must regain his memory. - What?

For peace on earth.

You're so witty.

It's a large piece of prey.

Eun Ho.

We're late, aren't we?

What I did was too rash.

I put myself first and didn't think of your condition.

I want to know...

what happened to me.

Of course you want to know.

You will find out.

But Eun Ho, first, you must recover.

Don't try to remember anything right now.

Don't imagine anything either.

Then I'll ask just one thing.

Why am I in such a nice room?

Now that you're awake, you'll be moved.

I want to have beef too.

You are.

This is beef too.

- What? - Do you want a beef slap?

How dare you say that?

You should offer to buy me...

What's this?

Do you still want to pass the exam to get promoted?

No.

That's why the book's stuffed in there.

Is that why you put it carefully...

where it's always within arm's reach?

How did I end up in Homicide?

There's no time to study for the exam.

So what? You'll quit?

I told you a few times.

Homicide just doesn't suit me.

Especially all these stake-outs.

Whenever I'm on a stake-out...

- Get down. Who's that? - Who's who?

Oh? Isn't that Yun Hee Seob?

Right? I didn't mistake him, did I?

Why do you think there's an accomplice?

The stigmata marks.

- On the hands? - Yes.

Before Seo Sang Won died, he said Im Hee Jung was punished,

and the other victims were blessed with resurrection.

There would be different marks for punishments and blessings?

We all know that much.

He said that Choi Su Jung didn't qualify.

She didn't qualify?

Same marks and different results.

Qualifications.

It's not the victim's qualifications.

It's the criminal's.

The one who killed Choi Su Jung...

could be someone else.

(Detective Cha Young Jin)

Uncle.

Yes, Ji Won. What is it?

Oh? Why aren't you in bed?

Dad promised to read to me,

but he went out to work.

I see.

Come in. I'll read to you.

- What? - Your eyes look sad.

Do they?

I was reading something sad.

As sad as "The Sun and the Moon"?

Yes, as sad as "The Sun and the Moon".

This story isn't sad.

Is it not?

- I'll read for you. - Perfect.

Let's hear you read to me.

Ji Won.

Wouldn't you love to have a younger sibling?

You'd prefer a younger sibling too?

Not an older one, right?

- What do you mean? - Eun Ho...

asked me how I'd feel if I had an older brother.

Eun Ho?

The Eun Ho who visited last time?

Yes. But I said that I wanted...

a younger sibling and not an older brother.

But when I said that, Eun Ho's eyes...

became sad like yours were.

When did you talk about that?

Was it when we played soccer in the park?

No?

Then was it when we played games at home?

No. Later on, at school.

At school?

- Your school? - Yes.

Are you here about Ki Ho?

Why come here when you could call me?

Why hasn't he called me yet?

I passed the message.

After that, it's up to him.

Do you know why he's in hiding?

Beats me.

You...

- must pass on this message. - What is it?

Tell him that the Ko Eun Ho, the boy who saved his life,

is awake from his coma.

Is that all I need to tell him?

Tell him that we should go and see him together.

Sure thing. I'll tell him word for word.

Enjoy your meal then. I'll leave you to it.

He has no respect for meat, does he?

I'm dying of curiosity.

Just like me, you'll never be able to leave Homicide.

We'll see.

What the...

He's going back inside.

So there's something more important you need to say.

I need to tell him this in person.

Like I said, I'll pass the message.

If you can't trust me, look for him yourself.

Tell him that...

before it's too late, Im Hee Jung...

I'd rather you not come by so often now.

Eun Ho's doing much better and you're busy.

- I'm all right. - Well, I'm not!

This is too uncomfortable for me.

Eun Ho and I have been friends for seven years.

We care for each other and wish each other well.

(Most frequent calls)

(Detective Hwang In Bum)

(Detective Hwang In Bum)

- Is it okay to talk? - Yes.

You don't sound so bad.

Did the chief call you?

Yes, and I'll tell you about that later.

I have good news.

Are you alone?

Well, you're still the leader of Homicide Team 1.

- In Bum... - What is it?

Please tell her not to do anything.

Don't ask me and order that yourself.

She never listens to me.

Young Jin, don't you dare make any moves!

Just stay put.

That'll be all.

(Officer Lee Jae Hong)

(Team Leader Cha Young Jin)

Yes, Ms. Cha.

It took you a while to pick up. Where are you?

I'm in the office parking lot.

Eun Ho's awake.

What...

- Really? - Come here and stand guard.

- But Ms. Cha. - What is it?

Are you asking me for a favor?

A favor? Are you out of your mind?

I'm ordering you as your team leader.

Yes, I'll be right there.

(Special Crime Squad)

In Bum, I'm saying this out of my loyalty to you.

There's a limit to what you can do.

The organization will want to throw someone to the wolves,

and it only needs to be one person.

Why are you already thinking about sacrificing her...

instead of protecting her?

I know Young Jin didn't take out her anger on Seo Sang Won,

but I understand...

why people suspect her.

Those who sacrifice themselves...

to do what's right are the ones who get sacrificed.

And those who sit and watch by the sidelines...

doing nothing at all...

never lose anything.

I requested police protection,

so I'm asking you to stay until the officers arrive.

I thought you said it wasn't a favor.

Stand guard until they arrive.

Watch what you say since he has no recollection of the past month.

I'm asking...

Carry on then.

I'm sorry that I didn't tell you...

about Su Jung.

I just wanted...

to catch him myself.

Yes, we understand that.

I see, I have a cop on my tail.

What's he doing?

Keep going. Just keep driving.

How much longer should we wait?

- It's been long enough. - Right?

- Should we head back? - Should we?

Let's go.

Wasn't this the spot? Stop the car.

Darn it.

Unbelievable.

How did he make us out?

- What now? - What else? We should go.

"Inherit of all Im Hee Jung's rights before it's too late."

Chairman Yun said you'd understand.

Right.

I still have some time though.

Is that so?

Come and grab a bite to eat then.

That reminds me.

There's something I forgot.

That boy Eun Ho is awake.

Really?

My Lord, the Almighty,

I praise and thank you for hearing...

my prayers.

My Father.

Amen.

I should see the boy right away.

You can't.

- Why not? - The detective...

who caught Seo Sang Won came by to see me.

What?

She's looking for you.

Why is she looking for me?

She said something odd.

According to her,

the boy who saved your life almost died because of you.

Does that make any sense?

Just so you know though,

Seo Sang Won's last victim... No, that's not right.

She was the friend of Seo Sang Won's eighth victim.
