(3 years ago)

I've finished reading your novel, and it's bad.

It's horrible.

Hey, I'm working right now.

Why do you think one of your readers thinks it's horrible?

Aren't you curious as the author?

What's so bad about it?

The male protagonist...

did what he did for the sake of the woman he loves.

Why should he go to jail for it?

He committed a crime, so he should be punished for it.

Why is that a crime?

It was his dream, his love,

and his innocent desire.

After all, it was just him being delusional.

"Delusional?" What do you mean?

They truly loved each other.

Well...

Yes.

Yes, we're keeping the reservation. That's right.

Okay, thank you.

I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you.

Reservation for what?

I booked a concert hall.

A concert hall?

Why?

I'm getting married tomorrow.

You're getting married?

Jung Won and I will have a quiet wedding ceremony, just us two.

What?

You said you didn't believe in marriage.

You told me you'd never get married.

I know, right? I find it fascinating too.

Who knew I'd find someone...

I wanted to spend the rest of my life with?

Okay, got it.

(Episode 11)

Yoo Yoon Young's on the wanted list.

Mo Soo Rin will defend her to the end.

We must get her soon.

She turned her phone off two days ago.

That means she fled.

Could she have stowed away?

She wouldn't do that.

Seol Woo Jae's here.

She did everything to get to him.

She wouldn't give up on him that easily.

Yoo Yoon Young's phone just turned on.

- What? Where? - The express bus terminal.

- Go get her. - Okay.

(Violent Crimes Unit 1)

- Hey, go that way. - Okay.

Sorry.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Sorry.

(From Seoul to Mueon)

Sorry.

Sorry. Please cooperate.

Can I see your face?

Sorry.

(Yoo Yoon Young)

Did she tell you to wear her coat and take her phone?

She's a wanted criminal.

- You must cooperate. - What?

Did she tell you to take the bus to Mueon?

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Where are you?

Did you see or hear from Yoo Yoon Young?

Why? Is something wrong?

She made us think she was at the bus terminal.

If you're at work, be sure...

Yoo Yoon Young doesn't tail you home, okay?

I just got home.

- Is Jung Won there too? - Her handbag is.

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

Say Jung Won's at home.

If you don't do as I say, Jung Won dies.

Is Jung Won not there?

She's here. She's asleep.

I have to go.

Hey, Woo Jae.

- Are you with Jung Won? - Yes.

I'll text the address. Will you come?

Come alone, without telling the detective.

Unless you want to lose your wife.

If you hurt Jung Won,

I'll kill you, and then kill myself too.

I made it clear.

If you tell or bring anyone, Seo Jung Won dies.

(Women's Toilet)

This is where they swapped coats.

The phone is turned off. Please leave...

Jung Won's phone is turned off.

Didn't Seol Woo Jae say she was asleep at home?

She never sleeps at this hour. I think he lied.

Why would he lie to you about that?

What if he had no choice?

- Thanks. - Sure.

(Seol Woo Jae)

The person you have reached is unavailable. Please...

Who are you?

I'm a detective.

I'd like to see if anyone's in.

- Board Chairman Seol? - Yes.

He drove off in a crazy hurry.

He almost ran over someone.

Was he with his wife Ms. Seo?

No. He was alone.

I think something's going on.

Locate Seol Woo Jae's car right now.

Goodness.

What if you roll and fall to your death?

What?

Are you afraid you'll be stabbed...

and die like Jin and Cha?

I'm not a fan of blood.

That's why I became a psychiatrist.

Move and I'll push you right over.

I said...

we'd go together.

I won't make you lonely.

Yoon Young.

See this?

It stopped at 10 p.m.

The current time...

is 9:45 p.m.

We have 15 minutes left.

Don't do this.

You know that...

I stopped the clocks at all the murder scenes.

At first, it didn't mean much.

It was just a practical joke.

But the more I did it,

the harder it became to forget the thrill.

Being able to stop someone's time forever.

It made me feel like a deity.

To make something go exactly as planned,

everything must be perfect.

Well done, Jung Won.

It was perfect until then.

Then I got too anxious to claim Woo Jae.

Guess what?

I wasn't this obsessed with Woo Jae.

I lost control after he married you.

Because...

you looked so amazing on TV.

You looked so righteous,

and you always did what was right.

So I actually felt uneasy.

That you'd call the police as soon as you found Eun Sae.

Do you have any idea how grateful I was that...

you did exactly what I wanted you to do?

Now, there's only one thing I want.

Making sure Woo Jae remembers me every hour, minute, and second.

Making sure he never forgets me.

I can only make him remember me until the day he dies...

if you and I die together.

Did you call...

Woo Jae to come here?

Of course.

To make my last night perfect,

I need Woo Jae to watch the whole thing.

If he sees us die together,

he will follow us.

He might not do that.

Woo Jae...

can be scarier than me.

I'll let you in on a secret right before we die.

I'll tell you what Woo Jae has done.

Stop.

Don't come closer.

If you take a step closer to us,

I'll jump right away.

Then Seo Jung Won will fall off the building with me.

Okay.

I won't move.

You came here alone just like I told you to.

I'll do everything you tell me to do.

I'll give you everything I have.

Money or whatever you want.

You're saying that now?

What's the point?

I would have to rot in prison for the rest of my life.

Please stop this.

The three of us should all go down safely. Please?

If I leave Korea...

and land in a different country,

will you come for me?

Okay.

I'll do that.

Woo Jae.

I won't fall for that anymore.

Stop deceiving your wife now.

Tell her the truth.

If you can't, should I do it for you?

The real culprit in Cha Eun Sae's murder...

wasn't Soo Rin.

It was your husband.

The truth you were looking for...

Woo Jae.

Watch...

what happens to the women, who loved you,

in the end.

Let go!

Let go!

It's over, Yoo Yoon Young.

Give up now.

I'm sorry.

I failed,

but I have no regrets.

No!

Around 10 p.m. yesterday,

Yoo Yoon Young voluntarily jumped off...

the building in Myeongsan-gu, Seoul and died.

On top of being suspected of instigating...

Cha Eun Sae's murder as well as the murder...

of Mo Hyung Taek's housekeeper,

Yoo Yoon Young was suspected of committing arson...

at Bongto Factory in 2009.

Due to these suspicions, the police put her on the wanted list.

When the police were canvassing an area to obtain information,

Lieutenant Kim from Gangha Police Station...

received a tip-off that the suspect,

Yoo Yoon Young, was at a building in Myeongsan-gu.

By the time he got to the scene,

the suspect was already trying to end her life...

It's all because of my dad.

My dad is responsible for her death.

I won't forgive him. Never.

Gosh.

He hasn't even budged for an hour.

It's quite cold out here.

His knees must be hurting a lot.

- She came out. - What?

- She came out. - There she is.

Stop disrupting me from running my restaurant. Just leave!

I know that your restaurant opens at 3 p.m.

I'll leave before then.

This isn't going to change anything!

It doesn't change the fact that you framed a victim,

my brother, as the arsonist...

when it was your daughter who committed the crime!

It wasn't intentional. I swear.

Back then, we had to investigate your brother...

due to some circumstantial evidence.

But even if there was,

misjudging your brother as the arsonist...

is clearly my fault.

I will live the rest of my life in repentance.

(Case Name: Cha Eun Sae's Murder Case)

Gosh.

At last. I can't believe we actually got to close this case.

Don't you feel liberated?

I hope she can put this behind her.

(Ae Na)

(Cameraman Joo Young Seok)

The real culprit in Cha Eun Sae's murder...

It was your husband.

The truth you were looking for...

is hidden in your favorite object.

Why did she say something like that?

My favorite object? What could it be?

(Application on the Confirmation of Divorce by Consent)

(Applicant, Seoul Family Court)

Let's get a divorce.

A while ago, I moved back in...

and said I wanted to give you another chance.

I didn't actually mean it.

I thought you were the killer,

so I decided to stay by your side to dig deeper.

Seeing how hard you were trying...

to make things go back to the way they used to be...

made me sad,

but that was about it.

While filling out this application,

I reflected back on the times we spent together.

I only wanted to remember the good times,

but the painful memories kept...

popping into my mind.

The moment when I found Cha Eun Sae's dead body.

The moment I found out you cheated on me...

and the time when I nearly died with Yoo Yoon Young.

Now,

the miserable memories we share certainly outnumber...

our happy memories.

Let's not...

make each other miserable anymore.

There must be a reason I didn't die with Yoo Yoon Young...

and survived.

I want to start afresh...

as if I've been reborn.

Please let me do that.

Fine, let's get a divorce.

But can we spend some time apart for a little while?

I'll move out.

- I need some time to process this. - No.

I'll move out.

I don't want to stay here.

Where will you stay?

I'll stay with Ae Na...

until I get my own place.

I'll come by a few times to get my things.

Call me once you're done filling out the application.

Jung Won.

Hey.

I understand that you want to get drunk today,

but slow down.

Don't you pity me? Don't take my beer away from me.

You decided to divorce your husband and moved out.

Don't act pitiful.

So, how do you feel now that you really are getting a divorce?

I feel like...

I'm a nobody now.

I decided to marry him because I thought...

I'd never meet another man who loved me as much as he did,

but being called...

a business mogul's daughter-in-law and an artist's wife...

wasn't so bad.

But more importantly, it was really nice...

to have a family.

If I still had a solid career as a reporter,

I'd try to hold out, at all costs.

My gosh.

I've been arrested,

and my show got canceled,

so I'll get fired for sure.

On top of that, my marriage failed too,

so I can't help but feel so pathetic and small.

What's gotten into you?

You rarely talk about what's on your mind,

but you're telling me everything you're thinking.

The same goes for asking me if you could stay with me...

for a few days.

Hey.

Why is it that I hate it so much when I feel alone?

Hey, you aren't alone.

You have me, and you have Detective Kim too.

Gosh, I don't know.

Hey, be honest.

You were afraid you'd want to go to him if you were alone,

so you came here, right?

(Reporter Seo Jung Won)

What are you up to?

I was debating whether or not...

to call you.

I have a favor to ask.

You should never ask for favors over the phone.

You must do it in person.

I need to ask you something too.

Let's meet now.

I was wondering why you were with Ms. Yang at this hour.

I guess you've been drinking.

So? What do you need?

When you searched Yoo Yoon Young's home and office,

you found recordings of my sessions with her.

Can you send me the files?

- Why do you need them? - There's one last thing...

I want to check.

Okay, sure.

And what's your question?

What's your plan?

Your program got canceled,

and the journalist association expelled you.

You lost your job...

and your husband too...

I was being too nosy. Pretend you didn't hear that.

Tomorrow,

I'll hand in my resignation.

I don't want to get fired.

And...

I left home.

I asked for a divorce.

I think I went back to being a kid.

I wanted to be such a cool adult.

You're not a kid.

You got this far.

There's not much to being a cool adult.

You're cool if you get through stuff.

I feel lost.

I don't know what to do for a living,

or what to do with my life.

But I'll get through it a day at a time.

That's the only way to get back on my feet.

Until everything's sorted out,

I'll be cautious.

Can you do the same?

I don't know how long it'll take.

But will you...

wait for me?

Don't make me wait too long.

There's no fever.

Jung Won.

I just feel a bit achy.

I made bean sprout soup. Have some.

And take today off.

You can resign tomorrow.

If I put it off,

I'll only become more reluctant.

I won't take long to get ready. Let's go in together.

(Seo Jung Won)

You're too quick for your own good.

You're not officially dismissed yet.

Exactly. Why must you resign?

Why is she so darn stubborn?

You can have this.

You wanted this, right? Here.

Goodness.

You value your pride too much.

You should stay as long as you can.

I could try, but I'll be fired this week.

I don't want to wither away,

wondering when my last day will be.

Us two.

We fought quite a lot, didn't we?

Why are you going down memory lane...

like we'll never meet again?

You should sneak in and pack your stuff at night.

Do you have to sour the mood first thing in the morning?

I don't have anything to give you.

I'll give you the list of stories I wanted to report.

I won't take anything less than a scoop.

The scar...

Mo Hyung Taek showed saying he got from his daughter's attack.

Mo Soo Rin insists her father made that up.

- Are you sure? - If that's true,

this could take him down.

Are you saying we should believe a serial killer?

The whole country knows Mo Soo Rin's a psychopath.

Not even the police will believe it.

I'm not telling you to believe it. Look into it with suspicion.

See you.

The chairman is waiting to see you.

You were humiliated and dishonored,

so you can no longer report.

And you don't have the temperament to stay at home.

Start work next week...

in PR.

Father.

I moved out.

I asked for a divorce.

I'm waiting until Woo Jae's ready.

You won't sue, then?

- No. - The terms of divorce.

Can Woo Jae make up the list?

Yes.

I'll agree to the conditions you and Woo Jae want.

You must sign a confidentiality agreement,

and a contract that limits the alimony.

I'll do that.

People go against their word all the time.

What you just agreed to.

(Recording)

I will not sue.

I will follow the conditions of divorce.

I'll also sign...

a confidentiality agreement and a contract.

I'd like to go now.

I'm sorry...

for causing you distress due to my shortcomings.

Jung Won.

Are you okay?

(Seo Jung Won)

You quit your job?

Yes.

What was the rush?

You could've...

let me tell my father.

You're deathly pale.

I'll take you home.

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Jung Won.

Dr. Park, please report to Room 112.

Dr. Park, please report to Room 112.

She's suffering from dehydration due to overwork and stress.

So she lost consciousness.

She's all right for now. So don't worry.

Even so, once she wakes up,

I'd like her to take a thorough medical checkup.

Sure. I'll coordinate with other departments for that.

Other departments?

Are you not aware of her condition?

Are you all right?

Right before Yoon Young died,

what was the last thing she said?

She said she had failed, but she didn't have any regrets.

Woo Jae wasn't the only one she loved.

She loved me more than him.

That's what she told me.

She said I was the most precious person in her life.

And that I came first.

I already told you about her the other day.

She didn't directly say that to you.

There's no way she betrayed me.

I...

trust her.

Why are you pleading the Fifth?

Why are you not cooperating with the investigation?

The longer you keep this up,

the worse this will be for you.

I really didn't stab my dad.

Please believe me.

Do you know what kind of monster he is?

He framed Park Jin Soo as the arsonist...

when he knew I started the fire. He still pinned it on Park Jin Soo.

Please expose the truth about him.

I feel so wronged. I can't let him get away with this.

You feel wronged?

I didn't stab him. Of course, I feel wronged.

Don't you think...

the victims who died in vain at the factory...

would feel more wronged than you?

Add Jin Myung Sook and Cha Eun Sae to the list of victims.

The victims' human rights are more important...

than a criminal's human rights.

So don't you casually say that you feel wronged.

You don't have the right to say that.

There's something I didn't tell you...

regarding the fire incident.

(14 years ago)

What are you doing, Mo Soo Rin?

(Effective Rat Poison)

This is Soo Rin.

You're at the factory, right?

There's something I must tell you. So meet me at the factory.

After witnessing what you did, I had to tell our teacher...

because animal abuse is a crime.

This was a major tragedy. The fire incident can't be seen...

as a silly prank by 19-year-olds.

Twelve people died, and two people were injured.

And those two victims died in the end.

If Lee Na Ri were still alive,

she would have been the same age as you and enjoying her life.

Detective Kim.

I don't think Na Ri died that night.

Isn't this splendid?

We created those flames.

Right.

You saw her running away?

Are you sure it was Lee Na Ri?

It happened a very long time ago, so I can't be certain.

But I was certain that night...

that it was Na Ri.

(Reporter Seo Jung Won)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

You'll be directed to...

What happened?

You woke up for a moment and went back to sleep.

You must not have gotten any rest. You even passed out.

You need to take a couple of thorough exams.

That's not necessary.

I don't have a job to work hard at now.

I'm not asking just for your sake.

Remember what you said?

There had to be a reason why you survived instead of dying.

You were right.

You and I...

will be parents.

I couldn't believe it. So I had to ask multiple times.

After hearing the news yesterday,

it felt like my heart was going to explode.

So I looked up at the sky.

Then I finally realized how it felt when people said they didn't know...

whether to cry or laugh.

It brought tears to my eyes.

I was so emotional.

I couldn't control my emotions.

I was determined to do what you asked of me.

I even filled out the divorce paper.

How can I let you go now that I know you're carrying my child?

I know that you're probably sick of me asking you to stay.

I even hate myself for it. But I...

I want to be a good father.

Let me be clear.

Nothing will change.

If you don't agree to a divorce, I'll file a divorce suit.

No...

What am I going to do?

What will I do?

(Reporter Seo Jung Won)

Why can't I reach her?

Tae Heon.

I asked Detective Bong.

It's just like Mo Soo Rin said.

They had to hire part-timers on the day of the incident.

So they couldn't get an accurate headcount.

What about Lee Na Ri's corpse?

That's odd too.

The corpse was too damaged for a DNA test.

This is going to bother me even more now.

But...

if Lee Na Ri had escaped from the factory,

she would have gone to her family.

It makes no sense that she just went missing.

Even Detective Bong said Mo Soo Rin must have been mistaken.

I should contact Lee Na Ri's family who emigrated out of Korea.

I'd like to eat the top-grade Hanwoo for dinner today.

What?

Did you get enough intel for a free meal?

It's Lee's brother next to her. Guess who he is now.

I found this picture...

at Zeus' house. Right in his house. You know?

Are you saying this boy is Lee Ba Reun?

Turns out, Lee Ba Reun was Lee Na Ri's brother.

I already checked his family relation certificate.

Well done, right?

Hey, I'm off.

Hey, Jung Won.

My gosh. You still look so pale.

Did you have dinner?

Yes, I've eaten.

My goodness.

You told your husband you wanted a divorce and moved out.

Did you have to faint in front of your husband?

Gosh, why is marriage so complicated?

I'm not sure how you'll take this,

but for some strange reason,

I feel like you and Woo Jae won't split up after all.

Did Woo Jae tell you something?

What?

Oh, it's Detective Kim.

Ae Na.

- My gosh. It's been a while. - Jung Won is inside, right?

I guess she wasn't expecting you.

Come on in.

Hey, I couldn't reach you.

I had a busy day.

Why were you busy? Aren't you unemployed now?

Here, it's what you asked for.

You said you wanted the recordings of your sessions.

Here.

Thanks.

I'm going to have a beer. Do you want one too, Detective Kim?

You too, Jung Won?

Gosh, what was I thinking?

You fainted.

She fainted?

Oh, Jung Won drank too much yesterday.

She blacked out.

Well, if you drove here, you can't have a beer.

Do you want something else?

No, I'm good.

I'll talk to her about Lee Ba Reun and leave right away.

Wait.

What is it?

Can I hear it too?

You need to see this.

Lee Ba Reun is Lee Na Ri's brother.

That's why he was looking into Mo Hyung Taek.

He knew...

there was a secret behind the fire case.

The problem is...

that Mo Soo Rin thinks she saw Lee Na Ri...

running away from the fire.

So Lee Na Ri didn't die in the fire?

My gosh.

If Ba Reun finds out about this, he'll be utterly shocked.

But if Lee Na Ri didn't die back then,

how come no one has seen her since then?

Even if she managed to escape, she probably died...

because of the toxic gases or some other reason.

I know. I don't think she's alive.

But if she really escaped like Mo said,

and if her body still hasn't been found,

we can't neglect the possibility of another crime.

First, we're going to contact her parents in Canada...

to look for Lee Ba Reun.

If you hear from him, let me know right away.

You too, Ms. Yang. Okay?

Yes, of course.

I hope Ba Reun hears this soon.

Hey, you look tired.

- I'll be off, then. - You're leaving?

Hey, he's leaving.

You won't see me out?

Hey, go.

Hey, this isn't being careful. You're being so cold to me.

Do you know what this reminds me of?

The time we met again after three years.

You're acting just like you did that day.

How come you suddenly changed in a matter of a few days?

Did I do something wrong?

No.

My gosh. This will only make me more impatient.

Forget being careful. I want to just carry you on my back...

and elope with you.

Something must've happened.

No, nothing happened.

It's your father's death anniversary tomorrow.

You used to only put cheese cake on the table at his memorial ceremony.

It was this time of year. I remember now.

Are you feeling down because you've been reminded of your father?

I won't ask for anything else.

Just pick up when I call you. All right?

If not, my mind will wander off, worrying about you.

I'm off.

You can hear the heart beating, right?

The baby is healthy. No issues.

Doctor.

Yes.

Can I...

still get an abortion?

Well done.

- I'll see you next week. - All right.

That book. Didn't your husband write it?

Oh, that's right.

I read it too.

It wasn't my cup of tea.

Really?

But I guess you liked it,

seeing how you carry it around in your bag.

("Desire" by Seol Woo Jae)

It is my favorite one out of all the novels my husband wrote.

I started reading it again.

"I failed, but I have no regrets..."

"because it was my dream, my love,"

"and my innocent desire."

I must say though, I really liked this sentence at the end.

I failed,

but I have no regrets.

("Desire")

(It was my dream, my love, and my innocent desire.)

(It was my dream, my love, and my innocent desire.)

(October 6, 2023, 7:15 p.m.)

It was the exact same knife.

The man who killed Cha Eun Sae...

killed my father too.

(Nothing Uncovered)

You said you were drinking alone in your studio...

at the time of Cha Eun Sae's death.

Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?

I thought I'd never have a grandchild.

I will raise my child well with only the best things.

I will put the past behind me now.

The real reason I dragged you into this...

was something else.

I met your father.

Jung Won has changed. Didn't you sense it?

I've had a change of heart.

Forget everything.

Help me so I don't have to suffer so much.
