Are you saying he harmed himself?

This is why we need a witness.

A truthful witness.

(Homicide Team 1, Team Leader, Lieutenant Cha Young Jin)

Father, please begin.

This is what you said to me every time you gave me the whip.

"Graciously endure the sacred pain."

"If you do,"

"you will become a believer..."

"who is never wavered."

You can still back out.

The pain is sweet.

Let me puncture my other hand too.

Father, hang in there just a while longer.

It won't be long now...

I expected no less from her.

Father,

Cha Young Jin is here.

Is it already time?

No,

she sought you out without our guidance.

She sure is the perfect subject...

to witness my resurrection.

"She sure is the perfect subject..."

"to witness my resurrection. "

So that's my story. Your turn.

It was as reported.

You did your best to save the man,

but his hands slipped?

Don't be ridiculous. You let him drop.

You say it like you saw it.

It's what you said.

You said you'd track down the killer...

and...

kill him.

What did you think then?

Did his hands slip or did I let go?

What are you talking about?

You saw everything from the rooftop mechanical room.

Wow.

The DNA sample found on...

the recording device in Eun Ho's hospital room...

matched the DNA sample found in the mechanical room.

It also matched the DNA sample from the teacup you drank from.

Why go to all that length...

when all you had to do is ask Ki Ho for the camera footage?

The deaths of Su Jung, Im Hee Jung, and Seo Sang Won are separate cases.

I already told Eun Ho this,

but Seo Sang Won killed Im Hee Jung.

And Seo Sang Won...

Well, couldn't Detective Cha have saved him?

The one he desperately called out for before dying.

It was you, wasn't it?

Father, I will be watching you.

Please let me witness the miracle.

We'll meet again soon.

You have been brought here to be a witness.

Observe the miracle that is my rebirth...

and tell my story to the world.

Let me go.

Please...

You'll fall too.

Please.

I will find you no matter what.

- Let go. - Let me go.

Tell me!

Let him go, Cha Young Jin.

So stay alive until then.

You need to live...

until we meet again.

Tell me!

All my lost lambs.

All my followers. All my children.

My resurrection...

shall bless you with belief!

Enough with the nagging. I'm not a little boy anymore.

I can take care of myself now, Sang Won.

(Elevator machine room)

Of course.

This is why I like you.

Killing Choi Su Jung over you was the best choice ever.

The best choice?

What kind of life have you lived so far?

Well,

I don't know.

My mom...

locked me inside...

when she left me for good.

I was waiting for my death...

when ta-da... Seo Sang Won appeared in front of me.

But the mother...

that abandoned me beat me while shedding tears.

Seo Sang Won who saved me...

whipped me with a smile on his face.

How's that for an answer?

It was your own choice to become a monster.

Turning others into monsters like yourself...

is how you found comfort.

You needed to believe that you weren't the only nutcase.

Maybe.

Are you all right?

May I let him go?

What about my mom and Mr. Lee?

They're all right.

Young Jin,

let's go.

I'm sorry, Eun Ho,

but I need to know how Su Jung died.

I'm sorry.

This is exactly why I said...

I didn't want you to know if anything bad happens to me.

You're a big boy now, aren't you?

The life ahead of you will be more challenging...

than the life you've lived so far.

Would you still like to hear it?

Even if...

No,

if that's particularly the case,

then I must know what happened to her.

Why was it Su Jung and not me?

May I take that as a thank you?

Why...

did you choose her over me?

Why on earth do you want to know that?

I just don't get it.

Because I don't want to forget.

She was someone who was always by my side.

Just knowing that she was there for me...

gave me strength.

But that person died in my place.

I want to know about her last moments.

I want to remember her and be in pain for her...

because that's all I can do.

Such a thing can never exist in my world.

- Tell me. - No.

Not telling you is how...

you'll think of me daily and forever.

Letting me live was the best choice?

Do you honestly believe that?

Su Jung died the day after...

the photo of us went missing from my room.

Yes, keep going.

On the day the photo went missing,

you were probably waiting for me in my house.

For some reason, you changed your mind...

and only took the photo instead.

That was on July 31 of 2000.

Then you killed Su Jung the next night.

How did it feel to hear that murders that occurred...

after August 1 of 2000...

no longer had statute of limitations?

If you had killed me like you had originally planned,

the statute of limitations would've expired by now.

But because you killed Su Jung the next day,

your sin was granted eternity.

Do do you still consider it as a good choice?

In my case,

that kept me going.

If I catch you after the statute of limitations expires,

then I'll have no choice but to kill you.

Thankfully though,

I now have another choice.

Why I chose her instead of you?

You weren't Su Jung's only friend,

but Su Jung was yours.

- What? - I thought about...

whose pain would last longer,

and it was yours.

That's why I chose to let you live.

How will you get by without me?

My life will probably be a lot quieter.

Talk to you later.

Did you also say that to Su Jung?

Of course.

I felt sorry that she had to die without knowing why.

- The third phone call. - Oh, right. That was me...

Gosh, I really wasn't going to tell you this.

Before I called, I told Su Jung...

that I'll let her live if you pick up.

And the moment I said that, her eyes sparkled with hope...

thinking that she might be able to live.

But you didn't answer.

What if I did?

Were you really going to let her live?

Of course not.

She knew who I was and even knew my name.

I bet that small hope of hers eventually amplified...

her pain and despair.

I swear I will...

"Kill you".

"However long it takes, I'll find you."

"So..."

"stay alive until then."

Now that I think about it,

I think I looked forward to this day starting from that very moment.

Now, it's time for you to do what you promised.

That way, it'll finally end.

I'm not...

the girl I used to be.

Are you sure about that?

There's a recording of what Su Jung said to you right before she died.

This still works, by the way.

Let me hear it.

Will you be okay?

I guess I'll find out after I hear it.

Can I leave a message for my family?

Mom. Dad. Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

Don't be too sad.

Young Jin.

You were right.

I feel angry and upset...

that this is going to be my last memory of life.

So...

I'm only going to think about exciting, joyful,

and happy things.

And you'll be part of that.

No!

I'm going to kill you.

I'll give you what you want.

No.

It's what you want. You want Su Jung's revenge...

and compensation for having lived such an empty life.

Why are you hesitating?

Beg for your life.

It's time to let go.

Beg for your life.

"Let me live."

"Please."

"Please let me live."

Those were Su Jung's last words.

After she said that,

her heart that was beating like a captured bird...

stopped beating.

Fine.

I'll let go.

I hope you burn in the fiery pit.

Let's go home now.

Don't be scared.

I'm here to save you.

You were chosen by me.

Sang Ho.

Come close and watch.

The pain is sweet.

You can still back out.

Let me puncture my other hand too.

If I were saved by you,

do you think my life would've been different?

Baek Sang Ho.

You're under arrest for kidnapping and abusing a minor.

And also,

for the murder of Choi Su Jung.

You have the right to remain silent, and you may hire a lawyer.

And you may refuse to testify whatever that could act against you.

Where is Eun Ho?

He's safe.

Don't worry and get some rest.

The moment you wake up every morning,

you'll regret having made the wrong choice.

How is Bae Sun Ah?

She's no longer in a critical condition.

And we've arrested Ko Hee Dong.

- What's that supposed to mean? - I guess he wasn't late.

I let him go so he could save Bae Sun Ah.

They're not dead?

Neither of them?

No one died.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Did you get hurt?

- I'm okay. - I won't ever be late again.

You were never late. I was the one who didn't wait.

From now on,

I'll try to wait.

I'm sorry you had to go through this.

If I want to be neighbors with a hero,

this kind of stuff is inevitable.

- What? - You're my hero.

You're so corny.

I'm so glad to see you smile.

Eun Ho is doing okay, and so am I.

How about you?

It hurts so much.

I've never been so hurt in my entire life.

I thought you were putting on airs...

when you told me that you'd rather get hurt instead of anyone else.

But I guess you really meant it.

Who knew it'd hurt this much?

Get well soon.

- Where are you going? - Home.

- Where's Eun Ho? - At home.

Detective Cha.

Thank you.

(April)

Hi. You got here early.

- Hey. - Don't.

Eun Ho. Do you like that book?

Have fun.

Lend it to me afterwards.

We decided to separate from the church.

That's great.

We can't establish a university now.

It was your father's lifelong wish.

That title is yours.

Why do you care so much about...

something I didn't think much of?

Because we're family. I am too.

I'll run the foundation well and clearly and hand it over to you.

As if.

I'll make you resign when I want to take over.

You do that then.

But I'm not sure if I'll want to.

I've been thinking that...

teaching is just my thing, you see.

What are you all doing? Go back to your seats.

It's time for morning assembly.

Oh, dear.

Shall we start anyway?

- No. - We can't do that.

Mr. Lee, Dong Myung's a student too.

Okay, fine, we'll wait then.

Is everyone here?

- Yes! - We're all here.

- Let's begin. - Okay!

Who's in charge of cleaning?

- That's me. - Me.

- Did you do this? - Yes.

Is this it?

- Where's the rest? - I forgot!

(Eun Ho)

What?

Were you asleep?

- Yes. - Why are you always asleep?

Are you sick or something?

I just sleep a lot these days.

You should move about.

Starting tomorrow.

Come and pick me up.

I want to eat something nice.

(Shinsung Middle School)

Ju Dong Myung, Ha Min Sung.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm here to just eat. Do you want to join us?

Yes. Will you go to class?

Eat with us first.

Okay.

We're coming too.

I wanted to see them too, so it works out.

Let's go.

Enjoy yourselves.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Order more if it's not enough.

Don't spend too much. You've been jobless for months.

Someone I know wanted to eat something nice.

Do you two not talk at school?

We say what we must.

- What about lunch? - We don't eat together.

I think my friends are weird.

You're weird yourself.

You act too old.

You talk to Detective Hwang almost every day, right?

Aren't you acting too old also?

Who told you that?

I did.

He was slacking off when we were working on a farm,

so I asked him.

- Detective Hwang. - The fishcake looks great.

Did you have dinner?

Will you come over then?

The kids want to see you.

- No. - No.

He's on his way.

Have you had lobster before?

You haven't?

- How do you eat it? - Watch and learn.

I'm skipping class today.

- Who was that? - My mom's lawyer.

- Eat all you want. - Okay.

My gosh, what a lovely sight.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hi.

Thanks. Let's all sit down.

Did you eat a lot?

Min Sung ate most of it.

As if you didn't.

- That means it wasn't enough. - I think so.

Shall I order more?

- The lobster's really good. - Is it?

Tae Hyung.

How did you find me?

Did Detective Cha tell you?

I kept on asking.

Gosh. I really can't trust anyone.

That's why I'm here.

What do you mean?

Because of people like me and Baek Sang Ho,

I got the feeling you wouldn't trust anyone.

That time,

I didn't believe you.

I suspected you before even hearing you out.

I'm very sorry.

It's too late...

for an apology.

The moment I hurt you,

I honestly...

became someone who deserved to be suspected.

Then you apologize to me too.

I'll just accept your apology.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry too.

You're moving to the rooftop room?

Let me help you.

No, no. It's fine.

It's not for free.

Buy me jjajangmyeon afterwards.

Do I untie this?

Yes. I'll do it.

Baek Sang Ho, Oh Du Seok, Ko Hee Dong,

and Bae Sun Ah's statements.

Go through them for us.

These people. They seemed like devils.

I still don't feel like it's over.

They are as evil as devils,

but we got them.

They're just human.

I guess you want protection.

That's a given once we take over.

We know now what really happened...

to you, Mr. Lee.

We can't take responsibility,

but we can help you.

(Suspect Statement)

These two were waiting for me at home.

(Baek Sang Ho, Ko Hee Dong, Oh Du Seok)

- Thank you. - Ms. Hong, send the boys.

Why bring them yourself?

My teammates are all busy.

Also,

there's no one under me who's young enough to run errands.

I was only looking out for you, you know.

Think before you talk.

No, just think and don't talk.

You already sorted these out?

Every member on my team is seconds away from fainting.

- What's all this? - Chief Han...

requested the whereabouts of Seo Sang Won...

that coincided with the 1st to the 7th stigmata murder.

We can't only rely on Baek Sang Ho's statement.

The prosecution hammered us yesterday...

to hand in the case files with expired statute of limitations.

And what if they did? It's not like they'd investigate it.

- I'm not complaining. - Neither am I.

I'd love to work on these.

I'm not saying I don't want to...

Not again.

We know even if you don't tell us.

Ja Young,

you truly seem like one of them now.

She's better than the others.

Then buy us drinks.

Can we call her Mini Cha Young Jin?

Look who's talking, Mini Chief Han?

Not again!

Let's start working on these.

Wait, you dodged?

Darn.

Come on.

Fold them neatly, girls.

- This isn't so bad. - Gosh.

You can be so bossy sometimes.

It's because we don't know military discipline.

That's pretty.

- Thank you. - Have a good day.

The statements coincide with each other.

- I see. - Not one of them pointed fingers...

or gave an excuse.

You could've told me on the phone.

There's something we wanted to say in person.

- What's that? - We're all...

waiting for you to return.

That's right. Throw it here.

- Look how happy he is. - Why? Are you jealous?

Maybe he was lonelier than I thought.

I don't think loneliness has anything to do...

with what makes him laugh...

when he's with Ji Won.

You're right.

Will you be at Baek Sang Ho's hearing?

Excuse me.

- Yes? - When will you be back?

Shortly. Why do you ask?

Are you allergic to anything?

- No. - Then I'll make whatever I can.

Join us for dinner.

Whose call made you tense up like that?

- Eun Ho's mom. - What did she say?

She invited me over for dinner.

She'll get to show off her skills then.

Eun Ho, Ji Won, let's go.

Let's go.

Hey, where are you going?

Ms. Cha, let's have fun together again.

Don't I bore you?

I still like you though.

I like you too, you know.

Let's go.

What's with that corny gaze?

Hey, nephew!

Let's hold hands too, nephew.

Let's hold hands.

Thanks for this.

I didn't know what you'd like,

so I got a little of everything.

Thanks, Mom.

Is it good?

Welcome.

(Sender: Jang Ki Ho, Recipient: Cha Young Jin)

(Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office)

You both look exhausted.

It's the moment I've been waiting for my whole life.

It's as if every cell in my body...

is tense.

She wasn't able...

to take her eyes off Baek Sang Ho.

For 20 years, I pictured a variety of faces...

and voices.

On the street,

I'd lock eyes with someone...

and think he could be the one.

My heart would start racing.

After a while, I began to grow jealous of the families...

who knew the killers of their loved ones.

It wasn't because I wanted revenge though.

I was jealous because they could finally move on.

That's how it is for many people.

I truly am ashamed of my actions, ma'am.

I shouldn't have given up.

Don't be absurd, Mr. Hwang.

I heard how you took the fall...

for Young Jin.

Thank you so much.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to hold on.

I appreciate you saying that.

Why weren't you at the hearing?

I was worried I'd regret it.

Maybe I should've just let him die.

I was worried I'd think that way.

I'm glad you saved him.

Just like us, he'll live his life...

eating food and sleeping in his bed.

But then I saw his face today.

It seemed like...

his brain was scrambling in agony.

So I'm back...

to where my mother left me.

Shall we walk?

Sure.

I heard you haven't requested your reinstatement.

Not yet.

You said you'd quit after you solve the case that made you a cop.

Is that how you still feel?

Do you still mean...

what you said to me?

What did I say to you?

"Don't only look at the misfortune. It's also our job..."

"to see the remainder of hope."

Right. I did say that, didn't I?

Thank you.

I congratulate your reinstatement in advance.

Thanks.

(Shinsung Middle School)

- You guys go ahead. - Will it take long?

I'll stay with him.

You're cutting class again?

I'll go after I eat.

There's only a small window.

Eun Ho, we'll start without you.

Come on!

I took too long to come by, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

How are you feeling?

I'm good. What about you?

I'm good too. It's like I was never injured.

That's good to hear.

You were a blessing to me,

but all I did was bring you misfortune.

I know I saved your life...

and accepted your request,

but don't think of it as a gift from up above.

It was because...

I wanted to help you.

You see,

I used to hurt the feelings of young children.

I heard about what your story.

That you were a broken-hearted kid.

When I was younger,

I felt anxious every night.

All the time. Whether my mom was in a good mood or a bad mood.

Then Young Jin moved in upstairs,

and the anxiety went away.

Even though Young Jin wasn't always upstairs.

I should've become that kind of adult.

It's too late for me, isn't it?

Aren't you an adult until you die?

You're right.

I got to see you, so I'm good.

Don't make your friends wait too long.

Okay.

Goodbye.

- Hello. - This is for you.

- Thank you. - Bye.

(Sender: Jang Ki Ho)

("The Life Before Us")

(Cha Young Jin)

Young Jin.

Yes?

When will you be back?

I'm not even there yet.

Drive safely.

- Okay. - Bye.

- Eun Ho. - Yes?

I'll be back before it's too late.

Okay.

- Let's go. - Okay.

I want fried grasshoppers.

You had grasshoppers before?

Ji Won ate with me.

Really? I'm not friends with her.

Shall I introduce you two?

I'm a bit shy around new people.

She's good at Korean.

- Really? - Yes.

- She's learning English now. - I get pretty good grades.

- So do you. - Right.

Shall we watch the new movie?

(Thank you for watching Nobody Knows.)
