[Queen of Masks]

[Production supported by] [The Ministry of Arts] [Korea Creative Content Agency]

[Episode 12] You erased all of our traces, right?

It doesn't matter, even if there are.

This is my room, anyway.

That crazy bastard. He can't be immune to the drug, right?

You definitely took care of the CCTV, right?

It'll be off until tomorrow morning.

But it'd be better to leave quickly.

[Restaurant S]

We've been at the party until now, and we're going home now.

Okay.

I'll expose the Angels' Club while he's asleep.

I should go to Na Na.

I'll finally be her mom proudly.

I'll remove him from the foundation and the candidacy.

So he becomes an empty shell again.

I should get Leo out of jail.

Hang in there just for one more night, Leo!

Yes. Let's each do our tasks and regroup here tomorrow night.

You should come to my house. You can't be at the hotel.

By the way, I'm curious about something.

Who turned off the CCTV at the hotel?

That was the most important role.

I feel grateful for it.

We just got lucky.

Okay.

Are we going our separate ways now?

- Well- - Well-

You guys did so much. Thank you.

It was possible because of you guys.

[Queen of Masks]

I came inside to clean the room

and there was that thing covered with a bedsheet!

I called the police because I instinctively thought it was a body.

I didn't think it'd actually be a body!

It was so scary!

Song Je Hyeok is dead.

Dead?

How?

W-Why?

I don't know the details.

How could he suddenly...

Are you okay?

I'll go get some water.

By chance...

after we left the hotel,

did anyone go back inside?

Oh, my God!

[No Sender ID]

[No Sender ID]

[No Sender ID]

Answer me.

Did anyone go back into the hotel?

I gave all of you the key to my room.

Should I ask you one more time, then?

I actually went back to the hotel last night.

But someone took a picture of it.

By chance...

did you all get the same thing as me just now?

I'm asking you! Did you get the same thing?

Why don't you tell us first?

Why did you go back to the hotel?

I followed Jae Yi.

You left at dawn after getting a text.

[04:11 a.m. The day Song Je Hyeok died]

Why did you go back to the hotel?

What you received yesterday.

By chance...

does it have to do with the one who turned the CCTV off?

Who in the world is that and why are you protecting him?

I can't help it if you refuse to tell us.

How about you, Hae Mi? Did you go back to the hotel or not?

Look at yourself.

How dare you mess with the Daesungak owner's daughter?

Speak of the devil!

- I was just thinking about you- - Hae Mi!

What am I supposed to do?

Mom, what's wrong? What's going on?

I just saw Song Je Hyeok at the hotel.

But he's not waking up.

What? Song Je Hyeok?

I just came here to talk.

But he suddenly did this to my face-

How did you know he was there?

I didn't do anything.

But Song Je Hyeok-

Calm down. Just calm down first.

What should I do?

I heard you! Just calm down!

Hang up for now.

Let me think about what to do.

Did you definitely take care of the CCTV?

It'll be off until tomorrow morning.

[02:03 a.m. The day Song Je Hyeok died]

Go Yoo Na, you're funny.

What are you? A cop or a prosecutor?

Why are you interrogating us?

Because this could end up just like 10 years ago!

How could this happen? How?

But we're still friends!

You know I didn't do it! You guys know that!

It's not me!

You lied and said you didn't go to Gi Do Shik's room 10 years ago, too!

And I ended up becoming the culprit!

That was...

Hey, we all said we'd kill him. Remember?

It doesn't matter who did it as long as he's dead!

Actually killing someone and being framed for it are not the same!

You should tell me, too.

Did you go back to the hotel last night or not?

[Content Certificate]

[Branch Manager]

Sir, this is Joo Yoo Jung.

Sorry to call you so late.

I received the content certificate from Mariela Hotel.

It says they'd sue unless we repay the 10 billion won they paid for the investment in a month.

How much of that money do we have left?

What do you mean, left? Chairman Song took out all of that money.

- To where? - How am I supposed to know that?

He took out all of it in cash.

There's no cash left for Youngwoon Foundation. None at all.

Sir, Sir!

Yoo Jung. Youngwoon Foundation is about to go bankrupt.

You can save it using my slush fund.

Slush fund...

What could be in here, anyway?

Does Je Hyeok have the key?

Did you definitely take care of the CCTV?

It'll be off until tomorrow morning.

[02:38 a.m. The day Song Je Hyeok died]

I was there.

I was there, but...

I didn't do anything! I'm serious!

- Are you guys serious right now? - Yoo Na.

Calm down. Nothing happened to us yet.

The problem is that someone knows that we went to the hotel last night.

But I think I know who that is.

Pardon?

Got it.

What? What's going on?

Song Je Hyeok apparently died this morning.

What?

Really?

Wow!

Who should I share this good news with first?

Aigoo! You called me just in time!

You heard that Song Je Hyeok conked out, right?

I was just about to call you because of that!

Why?

Because of the photo?

Photo?

What photo?

You could've just messed with me.

Why did you do that to my friends, too?

If I did that, there has to be a reason for it.

You promised to remove my name from the Angels' Club's members list.

I need insurance to make sure you keep that promise.

Do as you wish.

You can't threaten me with some photo like that.

Did Assemblyman Gi do it? Why?

Did he threaten to call the police?

It's for insurance. Just in case I reveal his connection with Angels' Club.

That's right.

He wouldn't have sent them to us if he were going to report.

The police would've...

[Gunggok Police Station]

You're Song Je Hyeok's wife. Answer it.

Yes, this is Joo Yoo Jung.

Act surprised! Act shocked!

Je Hyeok is?

Okay, I'll head to the hospital right away.

They want me to come and identify the body.

What should I do now?

They always make the family identify the body.

Also, they might ask you where you were that night.

If so,

tell them you were at the party here, okay?

I can't believe he died in my room.

The police would be looking for me soon, too.

What are you worried about? We all have an alibi. It's on the CCTV here.

Who could it be?

Who threatened Do Jae Yi?

Also, what did they capture?

Hey, Mr. Choi.

Yes.

Do you know something?

About the photos Do Jae Yi and her friends received?

I'm not sure.

I guess you wouldn't know.

Hold on a second.

Should I actually go with it since I'm already in this situation?

Hey, Reporter Han Sang Gook?

This is Gi Yoon Chul.

There's a scoop I'd like to give you.

It didn't?

H-How does that make sense?

What do you mean it didn't record?

Can't you check one more time? That was the only thing we had...

The only thing we had!

I checked multiple times. It didn't work.

I'm sorry. It was my mistake.

Mistake?

Mistake?

Without that, we might...

We might become murderers!

Song Je Hyeok died!

Kang Hoo, as I remember...

I think it did record us entering and being inside.

We have that, at least, right?

Yes, there's evidence that we came in!

It didn't record that, either.

To be clear, the whole party wasn't recorded.

Kang Hoo!

We're from the violent crime division of Gunggok Police Station.

What's this about?

Go Yoo Na, you're under arrest for the murder of Song Je Hyeok.

You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney.

I told you.

That it'd be exactly like 10 years ago!

No. There's no way.

I'll accompany her as her lawyer.

- Yoo Jung, you should go to the hospital. - Okay.

Hae Mi, you should go with her.

Jae Yi.

Later. Let's talk later.

Hey, you asshole!

So you'll send the photo of Hae Mi doing drugs to the press?

Getting fired from Mariela Hotel because of you wasn't enough?

What else can I do?

Your daughter burnt Do Jae Yi's ledger and screwed me over.

Hey, brother, fight me instead of my daughter.

Where are you right now? I'll be there.

I'm kind of busy. But if you really want to,

I'm heading to the place your daughter loved 10 years ago.

Meet me there if you'd like.

Brother! Hey, hey! Song Je Hyeok!

Hold on, Hae Mi...

The place Hae Mi liked is...

[12:03 a.m. The day Song Je Hyeok died]

Song Je Hyeok...

Is he even alive?

I'm sorry. It's necessary to confirm.

Yes.

It is him.

[Mortuary]

Mom, he died. Did you know?

Yoo Jung.

Are you okay?

We're still investigating the scene,

but it won't take long since there isn't much there.

How did Je Hyeok end up this way...

The medical examiner said the wound on the hand was the only notable one.

But there was a needle mark on the left arm.

The medical examiner says we can't rule out the possibility of murder.

We're planning to do an autopsy after getting a warrant tomorrow.

Autopsy?

What do you mean, murder?

Who would kill that bast- I mean, who could've killed him?

We'll find out through the investigation.

Would you be able to come to the police station tomorrow?

We'll have to ask some questions.

Excuse me, can't you tell what condition she's in?

She's about to pass out. How could she be questioned at the police station?

Actually, I'd like you to come as well.

There are some questions we want to ask you, too.

- What about me- - I can't say much since we're still investigating,

but neither of you is free from this case.

[Gunggok Police Station]

I see you often, Attorney Do.

You're fine with me sitting in front of you, right?

Please tell me what evidence led to Ms. Go's arrest.

Firstly, you're staying at Suite 2401 at Gangbo Hotel. Is that correct?

- That's correct. - Okay.

Since Mr. Song used an app that deletes texts after a certain period of time,

there aren't that many records.

But before he died, he texted Ms. Go,

"I'm on my way. You have the land document ready, right?"

And there's a record of you saying, "Just arrive on time" in response.

Yes, we exchanged texts.

But we didn't get to meet.

I went to a party because I was angry.

It was a mask party at a place called Restaurant S.

Why did you get angry?

You don't have to explain everything.

What's important is that Ms. Go never met Mr. Song.

And she told the truth. She was at the party with me.

The attorney is proving the client's alibi.

You can check the CCTV at the hotel.

Ms. Go left the hotel before 7, and she hasn't returned since.

The hotel's CCTV was coincidentally turned off exactly at 8 p.m.

Oh, no.

What a shame.

How did Mr. Song enter your room when you weren't even there?

I'm sure you found it in his possession.

I gave him the room key a while ago.

You're supposed to be Ms. Joo's friend.

Why did you give her husband your room key...

Why are you so naive?

You must see all kinds of stuff at the police station.

Oh, okay.

[Funeral Hall]

I'm going nuts here.

Saying we're not free from this case means they find us suspicious.

But why? For what reason?

Hae Mi.

Why? Do you have any idea?

Why did you go back to the hotel that night?

I went because-

No, don't tell me! If you do, I have to tell you, too.

Why can't you tell me?

We have to get investigated tomorrow!

Our stories will get mixed up if we talk now for no reason.

So you're saying...

Yes.

We should survive on our own. Okay?

I'll get going.

Where have you been? You didn't answer your phone, either.

Why did you look for me?

She's just been drinking without saying a word.

Did something happen to her?

Step out for a second.

What? In the middle of the night?

I need to talk to Mom about something.

Well, okay. Call me if something comes up.

You shouldn't be drinking when you're injured!

Tell me now.

I didn't get to hear the details yesterday.

How did you know he was there, anyway?

How did you find that room?

I'm Gil Man Ok of Daesungak.

I could easily find out about stuff like that-

Don't be so proud.

What did you do inside?

He was passed out on the couch.

I looked closely, wondering if he was dead.

He suddenly swung something at me...

So why did you have to go there? What business did you have with him?

Because of you! He said he'd release the photo of you doing drugs!

How was I supposed to do nothing?

But you shouldn't have gone there! That's Yoo Na's room-

That's why I thought it was a good opportunity!

I could've ambushed them together and threatened them!

So he can't release the photo of you!

You took care of things well afterward, right?

Hey, Mom.

I just arrived at the hotel.

I'm going in right now.

Don't worry.

I removed all traces of yours.

By the way, Mom.

What was your relationship with Song Je Hyeok?

W-What do you mean by that?

He threatened you instead of me.

And you went there yourself instead of making someone do it.

Did you know each other well?

Well...

Ace Bar is his!

We helped each other since we were both in the industry. That's all!

But this time, he crossed the line!

How dare he messes with my daughter?

That's why I wanted to warn him. That I'll rip him apart if he messes with you again!

Honestly, I've been blaming you a lot.

I've been called a daughter of a hostess my whole life because of you!

But Mom...

you did something so dangerous for me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Don't worry about what happened.

Since you protected me my whole life,

I'll protect you this time.

Doesn't it hurt?

- It does. - Why did you have to go there?

Let's wrap it up here for today and pick it up again tomorrow.

Let her go if there isn't anything suspicious.

That'd be difficult. You know we have 48 hours left, right?

Just let them.

It's because I was convicted of murder before.

Keep looking for evidence, then.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Don't say anything while I'm gone.

Attorney Do.

I'm telling you this because we have a history.

You shouldn't be worrying about your friend right now.

You have to be investigated tomorrow, too.

You're also a very important person in this case.

What's going on?

You don't normally drink at the restaurant.

What's this about?

You know how the memory card for the mask party went missing?

Shouldn't we call the police about it?

It's not valuable, but it's uneasy to think that someone might've taken it.

Don't call the police.

Like you said, it's not valuable, either.

Having the police coming and going will interfere with the business.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I should've watched more closely while you were gone.

You must've been busy because of the customers, too.

Also, I don't want you to tell anyone that I stepped out during the party.

Okay, I won't tell anyone.

Excuse me.

How can I help you?

He's here to see me.

If there were slush funds,

there must be a trace of it somewhere.

If the police find it first, it'd all be gone.

I need to find it first.

Hyung!

What?

Did he leave? Without even locking the door?

Hyung! Hyung, are you here?

When will you pay me?

I'll leave the country before I get caught.

I'll call you when it's ready.

Leave through the back door. It's safer that way.

Hey.

What are you doing here, Leo?

Hae Mi kicked me out again.

I can stay here just for a bit, right?

Yes.

By the way, how long were you there for?

I came just now. Why?

It's nothing.

Have a seat and wait.

I needed a drinking buddy. This is great.

- I'll bring it right over. - Okay.

Could it have been...

Jae Yi?

[No Sender ID]

[Chairman Kang Il Goo]

Where are you right now?

I can't leave any trace.

[Security Room: Authorized Personnel Only]

Grandma...

let me see him tomorrow.

No, I just want you to do it.

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

[Content Certificate]

♫ Nobody knows my innerspace ♫

♫ 'Cause I conceal it every day ♫

♫ Even I don't know what I trust now ♫

[Ice Party] ♫ I pray, I wish ♫

♫ After waking from a long dream ♫

♫ Truth has come ♫

♫ Show me your truth ♫

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

♫ Don't care, don't lie, don't care about you ♫

♫ Don't hide yourself anymore ♫

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

Breaking news. Youngwoon Foundation's chairman and Hanguk Party's

mayoral candidate for Tongju, Song Je Hyeok, who went missing

was found dead in a hotel room in Tongju, according to the police.

Before he passed, he announced that he'll step down as the chairman and the mayoral candidate.

The police are suspecting suicide due to feeling pessimistic about his circumstances, but

they aren't ruling out the possibility of foul play.

Therefore, they requested the NFS for an autopsy.

They're also investigating whether his death is related to Angels' Club,

the illegal business within Chunsarang Orphanage.

[Palchon Blood Sausage Soup]

Take care. Thank you!

Song Je Hyeok is dead.

It wasn't me.

I did take him to the hotel,

but I didn't kill him.

I said this 10 years ago, too, but the truth isn't important.

What's important is for you to not get involved.

I think it was Assemblyman Gi Yoon Chul.

I wanted to see you to warn you about him.

Are you sure it was him?

Even my friends don't know about our relationship.

He's the only one who could find out about a secret like this.

There's one more person who knows.

By chance...

do you mean Kang Hoo?

No.

Kang Hoo...

He's the only person I trust in this world.

Anyway,

I'll make sure you don't get involved.

There's something I'd like to ask you.

Do you still care about the truth?

Pardon?

Sometimes, the truth could hurt you.

And your search for the truth could hurt someone who's precious to you, too.

I don't know why you're asking me that suddenly,

but if you're talking about what happened in the past,

I don't regret learning the truth by finding him.

Even if I had gone back in time, I would've made sure to find him.

All right, then.

Who could've killed Song Je Hyeok?

Why are the police considering you as a suspect?

There isn't even CCTV footage. What's their reason?

Well?

I'll find out once I get there.

I need to get going.

I'm supposed to meet my friends outside.

Well...

There's something I need to tell you about Choi Kang Hoo.

After hearing there was no CCTV recording at the restaurant,

I went to the restaurant.

Let me ask you something.

Why did the CCTV not record during the mask party last night?

Who are you, and why are you asking me that?

[Police ID, Jo Yong Pil]

It's not that it didn't record. Someone stole the memory card.

It apparently happened while Mr. Choi stepped out.

Chief Jo.

You crossed the line.

Don't trick people with a fake ID like that from now on.

I feel like I'm back to 10 years ago.

Don't jinx yourself, and just relax.

Just tell them what a victim's wife would say, and I'll...

Jae Yi, do you have any idea?

I don't know.

Let's just make sure Yoo Na doesn't get jeopardized like 10 years ago.

Let's go, then.

As I told you, I was at the restaurant all night

with my friends.

That's what you did before.

Why did you go to Grand Gangbo Hotel,

where Mr. Song was at 2:38 a.m. the day after?

What do you mean...

What were you looking for in the car?

I knew he frequented that hotel.

It was obvious.

He had a woman.

I was looking to find a clue.

Then, you could've gone to the room to catch him red-handed.

No...

I couldn't do anything so risky.

I'm actually...

pregnant right now.

I see.

Well...

how much do you know about his relationship with women?

- If you're talking about Yoo Na- - Hold on.

I'm not talking about her.

Did you know about his relationship with Yoon Hae Mi by chance?

My husband and Hae Mi?

I told you!

I was at a party with my friends that night!

Just ask them yourself!

I didn't say you went to the hotel that night.

What I'm curious about is your relationship with Mr. Song.

You can't be serious right now.

Relationship? What kind of relationship could I have with my friend's husband?

Why did you accept money from him? It was almost 10 billion won.

10 billion?

Me?

There was a note on his phone.

It's a transaction between you and him.

The date, the amount, and it says it was paid in cash.

It has all the details.

You must've had a special relationship since you received that much money.

This is like an economic union.

Ace Bar is his!

We helped each other since we were both in the industry. That's all!

Yoon Hae Mi.

What will you and your mom do with Daesungak if I die?

We've been working together since 10 years ago.

Attorney Do told me not to say anything until she came.

Attorney Do won't be able to join you today.

I have something to ask you about her.

About Jae Yi?

You followed her to the hotel around 4:12 in the morning, right?

Why did you follow her?

Was there anything suspicious about her, by chance?

It's all on the CCTV.

Is there a CCTV recording of that?

Why did you go to the hotel where Mr. Song was yesterday at 4:11 in the morning?

And why did you come out about 20 minutes later, gagging?

I couldn't tell you yesterday because we were still analyzing the footage.

According to the forensic analysis,

it's true that the CCTV was turned off at 8 p.m. the day before,

but the CCTV at the entrance turned back on at 4 a.m. the next day.

Did the security guard turn it back on too soon?

He disappeared right after the incident.

You told him to turn the CCTV off, didn't you?

And you went to the hotel that morning and killed Mr. Song, didn't you?

Didn't you come out gagging because you were disgusted, too?

You're a suspect and no longer a witness starting now.

You're an attorney, but you can get your own.

And you have the right to remain silent if you'd like.

Attorney Do has an alibi, apparently.

Someone who can prove it is on their way right now.

[Gunggok Police Station]

Who told you that?

Chief said so.

Who's the person who's on their way right now?

I heard you have something to say regarding Attorney Do.

First of all,

I was the one who told them to turn the CCTV off at the hotel.

Why did you tell them to do that?

This is embarrassing to say, but I have a child out of wedlock.

I invited her to the hotel,

but I didn't want there to be a record of it.

But the employee turned it back on too quickly. Like a fool.

Hold on.

Who's that child out of wedlock?

Could it be...

Yes.

It's Attorney Do Jae Yi right here.

You were at the hotel with me that night in my office.

Jae Yi, let's not hide it anymore.

But you know...

I think I saw something that night.

I can tell them, right, Jae Yi?

Do you still care about the truth?

Sometimes, the truth could hurt you.

And your search for the truth could hurt someone who's precious to you, too.

What did you see? Did you see anyone suspicious?

I'd better tell them, right?

We need to tell them anything that could be clues

so they could find out the truth quickly.

Tell us what you saw that night.

I went to the hotel past 10 that night.

When I just got on the elevator, I saw a man

in black clothes and a black cap behind a pillar.

Did it say the letter "N" on the hat?

I remember it because I found it suspicious that he was hiding.

Did you see his face?

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

[Queen of Masks]

♫ Who are you, Mister? ♫

♫ And why I can't find you? ♫

♫ Don't care, don't lie, don't care about you ♫

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

Why are you causing chaos out of the blue?

I just hope you don't get involved in anything dangerous like 10 years ago.

Kang Hoo hyung seems a bit strange.

He was having a strange conversation with someone suspicious.

He seemed very different than his usual self.

I'll give you money for your escape.

This person gave me money and told me to leave the country.

I was so scared. I could never forget it. Never!

I'll tell you the result of the autopsy.

I didn't suspect that result at all.

Do you still care about the truth?

Does Song Je Hyeok's death have to do with you?

You weren't here at that time that night.

Why did you come to the hotel? Why did you have to hide that?
