It was the exact same knife.

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

wasn't Soo Rin.

It was your husband.

Jung Won.

(Episode 12)

You came back?

I'd forgotten some things.

I came for them.

- You skipped work today? - Yes.

You didn't wear hats because they were suffocating.

You're right.

Where are you coming from?

I couldn't focus, so I walked all day long.

I kept noticing kids.

Will it be a boy or a girl?

Who will it look like? That's all I could think about.

I'll stay the night here. Just for one night.

It's your father's death anniversary, right?

I forgot to get a cake.

Can you get me one from nearby?

Sure.

Hello?

Okay.

Are you craving anything other than cheesecake?

Anything will do.

I won't be long.

(Haesin-ro 122, Mueon, Gangwon Province)

Why was he in Mueon?

Were you about to go out?

No.

I got one of everything.

What do you want?

I'm not hungry right now.

Do you have morning sickness?

Ms. Yang doesn't cook. What do you eat?

I don't want to...

discuss these things with you.

What shall we talk about, then?

You don't like talking about your dad on his death anniversary.

Whatever memory we mentioned,

you said it reminded you of his death and made you sad.

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

at the time of Cha Eun Sae's death.

Yes.

Why are you asking about that all of a sudden?

I'm tired.

I'm going to bed.

Dad.

Dad.

(Seo Jung...)

Seo Jung Won.

What are you doing here this early?

What could it be? I missed you.

I'm headed to Mueon.

I dropped by on the way.

Why go there?

To find Lee Na Ri?

I talked to the detective there.

When I mentioned Lee Na Ri's escape from the factory that night,

he suggested I meet someone.

A female illegal immigrant had been reported missing,

and she worked at the Bongto factory then.

- Then... - The body Lee Ba Reun collected...

is even more likely not to be Lee Na Ri's.

I'll tell you as soon as I have anything.

You're still down.

I lost my job...

and am staying with a friend.

It wouldn't be weird if I weren't.

I guess?

What should I do to cheer you up?

I'm sharing my energy. To recharge you.

From now on, I'll live off of my efforts.

You can take...

all my fortune.

Cheer up.

I'm Detective Kim Tae Heon.

Show him your friend's photo.

I filled him in.

That's her. Her name is Jang Hwa Lan.

- How old was she then? - Twenty.

She was about 165cm tall.

She had a similar build as Lee Na Ri.

When exactly did you report her missing?

On the 26th.

We'd agreed to spend Christmas together,

but she wasn't at home, and she'd disappeared.

Did she really work part-time...

at the Bongto factory on the 24th?

Yes. She told me she had to work that day,

and changed our appointment to the 25th.

You didn't see her go to the factory...

on the 24th in person, did you?

No, I didn't, but...

She disappeared then and hasn't come back yet.

There are quite a few illegal immigrants here.

They often go missing.

We'd returned all the bodies from the fire to their families,

so we didn't mind them.

That Mo Soo Rin saw Lee Na Ri run away.

I assumed it was a lie,

but it bothers me.

But if she hadn't come home...

She could've inhaled toxic fumes.

Maybe she fainted on the way.

I wish there were records of calls to the police or EMTs from then.

Hang on.

We must have records of 911 calls.

There are still records of 911 calls?

Yes, we still have the records.

Could I get copies of the calls on the day of the incident?

Just in case...

there was a 911 call, reporting that someone passed out or something.

I'm also getting curious...

if the body we found at the factory was Lee Na Ri's or someone else's.

It was a very long time ago.

Even the locals forgot about the factory.

Now, there are some fancy buildings at the factory site.

What's at the factory site now?

Mujin Resort.

They beautified the entire area.

That's how Mujin Construction made a fortune.

Mujin Construction? A subsidiary of Mujin Group?

Yes.

As a matter of fact, I saw on the news that they would build...

another resort here.

Your sister, Lee Na Ri,

might not have died from the fire at Bongto Factory.

Mo Soo Rin saw Lee Na Ri running away.

When you get this note, call me.

Lee Ba Reun's phone is still turned off.

It's been a while since his parents talked to him.

He took advantage of Ms. Seo to get justice for his sister.

When he finds out that his sister ran away from the factory,

he's going to be so shocked.

Let me know immediately when he turns his phone on.

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

You recognize the place, don't you?

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

(You recognize the place, don't you?)

The pipes aren't exposed or anything.

Is your husband going to use this place for his office again?

Or is this for you?

You're certain there's only one way into and out of the building, right?

Is there another way...

to get out of the building other than the main exit?

Not here.

Right.

There's a back alley connected to the first-floor cafe...

run by Assemblyman Mo's daughter.

There's a back alley connected to the cafe?

What? How did you know?

We rarely use that path.

There's a path that leads outside through the storage room.

Where's that path?

If Woo Jae found out about this path through Mo Soo Rin,

his alibi could be called into question.

Jung Won.

Your note... Is it true?

Let's meet in person.

Where are you?

I'm here.

Me too.

Did Mo Soo Rin really say she saw my sister running away?

Then what about the corpse my family received? Who was that?

How is this possible?

I don't know the details.

But...

an undocumented female worker was reported missing back then.

That worker had a part-time job at Bongto Factory.

Due to the fire,

her DNA couldn't be confirmed, right?

If Mo Soo Rin is telling the truth,

how come...

How come my sister still hasn't come back to us?

- Why on earth... - Perhaps, she died...

in a different location. Don't you agree?

She knew that the factory arsonist wasn't Park Jin Soo.

Mo Hyung Taek, the prosecutor in charge of the case,

must have suspected her.

Is that why you used me?

I exposed Mo Hyung Taek to the public.

So did you want me to be the first eyewitness...

of Jin Myung Sook's murder case?

(The day of Jin Myung Sook's murder)

Why is her phone turned off?

(Nike)

We've located...

Lee Yi Jin's burner phone.

Jung Won.

There's a real reason why I got you involved in this.

Your father's death was an act of injustice too, right?

Just like my sister's death.

I had met...

your father before.

This must have been tough. So thank you.

(Right after the fire incident at Bongto Factory)

You're home, Ba Reun.

I see. You must be Ba Reun.

(Reporter Seo Sang Gyeon)

I will write a great article with the interviews...

from the bereaved families of the fire incident.

So people don't forget.

Why did you let him interview you?

That won't bring back my sister.

Do you know where I am right now?

I'm at the house of a victim you murdered.

Decide.

Which truth will you bury?

And which truth will you reveal?

With whom did my father have that kind of call?

Then I watched the news two weeks later.

The news said that...

he was murdered by an unidentified assailant in his house,

and the police were pursuing the culprit.

I had a hunch the moment I watched the news.

That he was murdered by the person he was on the phone with that day.

I found out about you through your show first.

When I found out that your father was Reporter Seo Sang Gyeon,

I thought the universe brought me to you.

My sister and your father...

were murdered by the same person.

After discovering the truth about Lee Na Ri's death,

he threatened someone.

Then my father was murdered after making that threat.

Who on earth was on the phone?

Actually,

I went down to Mueon a while ago.

Never mind.

I'll tell you once my assumption is verified.

What is it?

I'll be in touch again, Jung Won.

Let's have a drink next time just like old times.

Lee Ba Reun.

Ba Reun.

The person you have reached is unavailable.

You'll be directed to...

- She's pregnant? - Yes.

- Are you sure it's yours? - Dad.

I thought I would never be lucky enough to be a grandfather.

The case is closed.

She got pregnant just when we started to resume...

our business plan with the second resort.

The Lord has given us a big blessing.

Actually, I wanted to be a father a lot more than you.

I didn't want to pressure Jung Won.

So I just didn't show it.

Father, the things you said you did for my sake...

were all so awful.

But now that I'm becoming a father,

I finally understand...

why you had to do the things you did.

Please put me in charge of the second Mujin resort project.

I'll do a great job and lead the project to success.

Now that you're becoming a father,

you're finally talking like a grown-up.

I will raise my child well...

with only the best things.

It will be my sole focus. I will not look back again,

and I will put the past behind me now.

Here.

He's my favorite musician.

I bet you'll fall for his music too once you hear it.

Classical music puts me to sleep.

You said the movies and books I recommended...

were boring but finished them.

Well, that was...

I finished them because you like them.

Things that are special to you...

are special to me too.

("The Good Husband Project for the Pregnant Wife")

("The Complete Guide to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Parenthood")

Where are you? Do you want to have lunch with me?

Are you craving anything?

(My Honey)

- Here you go. - Thank you.

(Yuhwa Women's Clinic)

(My Husband)

(Power off)

(Yuhwa Women's Clinic)

I'll take you to the changing room.

I'll administer anesthesia. Have the anesthetics ready.

Sure.

("The Good Husband Project for the Pregnant Wife")

"During pregnancy..."

Sir.

It's not true, right?

Mr. Gong is mistaken, right?

You got an abortion?

How could you do this?

How?

Without even telling me, how...

How could you... It was our baby.

How could you do this?

No.

I didn't do it.

Get up.

Let's talk at home.

Thanks. Thank you so much.

Seriously, thank you.

The sonogram picture.

Can I see it?

When I was driving there earlier,

I didn't feel alive.

I felt like I had disappeared too.

You've made up your mind, right?

To keep the baby.

I've never told you...

about my mom, right?

After my dad passed away,

I hated the feeling of being left all alone.

I was really lonely, so I went to see my mom in Australia.

She had left us before I learned to walk,

so I told myself I'd never look for her first,

but she's my mom, you know.

I was hoping she'd comfort me.

I flew for over ten hours and got there.

When I told her that Dad had passed away, she said,

"We're all alone in this thing called life."

She had remarried...

and had three kids.

And what? We're all alone in life?

Mom means nothing to me,

and it's not like I wanted a kid.

Besides,

I had made up my mind to divorce you,

so I was going to get an abortion,

but this question popped into my head. "Are we really..."

"all alone in life?"

I, of all people, really did not want to be alone.

I've changed my mind because I thought I'd regret it forever,

but keeping the baby...

is separate from my decision to end things with you.

All right.

I get it.

But at least until our baby's birth is registered,

let's put off the paperwork.

I don't want the baby to be born without a dad.

That's all I ask for.

I won't demand or force anything else.

I'll just wait.

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

The person you have reached is unavailable.

Please leave...

She must wonder if I found anything in Mueon.

Why can't I reach her?

(Seol Woo Jae)

- Hello? - It's me.

I'm by the back door of the police station.

Let's meet.

Will you throw a punch at me like last time?

I get what you're going to say.

I can't do it.

Jung Won asked you for a divorce,

and she's currently staying with Ms. Yang.

I know all that.

I'll wait.

Until Jung Won sorts everything out and feels free.

You no longer have the right...

to lecture me.

I'm not here to lecture.

I'm here to plead.

Jung Won has been avoiding you, right?

I was with her earlier,

and she ignored your call.

Jung Won...

has changed. Didn't you sense it?

She's pregnant.

She was very confused for a while, but she decided to keep it.

We decided to postpone the divorce.

It's early days and she needs to rest.

I don't want her to suffer any pain or hardship.

That's why I'd like you to set her free.

Help her so she doesn't...

have to suffer.

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

But will you wait for me?

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

(Mueon Beach, Mueon Stall Street)

(Detective Kim Tae Heon)

- Hi. - Where are you?

I'm on the way to Ae Na's. What about you?

Where you asked me to wait for you.

I love you.

I won't get to say this if I don't say it now.

I love you.

You're going to end it with him one day.

Our feelings for each other still remain.

I can do better. I can handle it.

Don't push me away again.

My feelings.

They haven't disappeared.

They've changed.

Since I realized I was pregnant,

I've felt things I'd never felt before.

I can't describe them.

To me, these feelings come first.

Even so, it doesn't have to change our relationship.

Our relationship will and must change.

- Why? - Could you...

ignore a woman with your child...

and date me as if nothing were wrong?

Could you do that?

That's completely different.

It's the same to me.

What am I to do, then?

What should I do?

I can wait for a long time.

I want to wait.

Can't I?

What I said to you here.

Forget everything.

Help me...

so I don't have to suffer so much.

Let's not talk for a while.

I love you.

I won't get to say this if I don't say it now.

I love you.

What am I to do, then?

What should I do?

I can wait for a long time.

I want to wait.

Can't I?

(Mueon Beach, Mueon Stall Street)

You went to bed early.

I can't sleep.

I'd be surprised if you didn't cry.

Poor Detective Kim.

I feel so sorry for you both.

I guess you two...

aren't meant to be.

Here.

Come to think of it,

you were the one who taught me how to drink.

Remember what you told me?

That detectives must look cool even when they get drunk.

That I should call you instead of letting others see me...

at my lowest point.

You know, don't you?

Did you cry?

I did more than that.

I wept buckets...

like a little kid.

There were only two times...

I couldn't control my tears when I thought...

I was doing well.

The first time was when my mom passed away.

The second time was when Detective Cha died,

and when I broke up with Jung Won.

This is the third time now.

I'm a widower, so I don't know much about kids.

But from what I hear about marriage, having children...

makes a world of difference.

Tae Heon, holding on to something that has no future...

is the most foolish act.

- Thank you. - He is

- He is the real thing - He is the real thing

- He's the total package - He's the total package

- He'll love you deeply - He'll love you deeply

Number three!

(New Gangwon Province)

My respected residents of Gangwon Province.

When I told the truth about everything...

and kneeled before the public,

you all...

helped me get up.

You saved me!

I got up on my feet again for our country and people,

but everyone including my fellow party members...

is stabbing me in my heart by saying I should step down.

Must I really step down?

- No! - No! Don't step down.

I've already come back from the dead!

I will fight until the very end and prevail!

- Mo Hyung Taek! - Mo Hyung Taek!

- Mo Hyung Taek! - Mo Hyung Taek!

- Hello. - Mo Hyung Taek!

- Mo Hyung Taek! - We love you.

Did you analyze the alternative...

for the site of Mujin's second resort?

Increasing 4 levels in 1 go will be risky.

It's highly likely that you may be charged with malpractice.

You don't think I know that?

Chairman Seol is cornering me when it's too risky. That means...

he can't run his business if it's below Level Four.

(Tenacious, Bold New Worker, Mo Hyung Taek)

What about Soo Rin?

Is she still acting stubborn that she'd only talk to Detective Kim?

Yes. Sir.

There was unexpected information in the last investigation report.

The student, Lee Na Ri, was the target...

of the fire at Bongto Factory.

Ms. Mo made a statement that she saw...

Lee Na Ri come out of the factory and run away.

What on earth...

Right.

There was a body we couldn't check the DNA of.

Afterward, Detective Kim went to Mueon...

and contacted Detective Bong.

It seemed he had gotten a lead.

Cancel the rest of my schedule for the day.

Call Detective Bong. Tell him I'm coming.

(Recording file of the 911 report on December 24, 2009)

I see. This must be it.

Tae Heon. Earlier, you mentioned a rollover accident with a truck.

A firefighter called it in. The truck was blocking the road...

Come here.

Did you get something?

This is 911. Go ahead.

My friend is hurt.

Could you specify the location of the injury?

Well, she passed out.

She passed out? Is she conscious?

- I'm not sure. - Could you tell me how it happened?

It was an accident.

Hello? Where are you?

(Recording file of the 911 report on December 24, 2009)

We're near Bongto Factory.

Everyone has been dispatched because there has been a big fire.

So it will take a while to send in some help.

- Something feels off, doesn't it? - Completely.

He said his friend was hurt and passed out.

But something about that...

More importantly, he said he was around Bongto Factory.

Check the account holder's name of this number.

(Recording file of the 911 report on December 24, 2009)

(Chairman Seol Pan Ho)

I thought you had gone to Seoul...

when I heard you canceled your afternoon schedule.

Did you come down here to see me?

I wanted to watch you campaigning.

Since I made the trip, I was going to inspect my subsidiaries.

Seeing how you're joking around,

you must have gotten some good news.

I'm going to be a grandfather.

He turned down so many eligible bachelorettes...

and insisted on marrying only Jung Won.

As I wanted grandchildren, I let him marry her. You know what?

He fulfilled his duty as my son.

Was that all?

The reason you accepted Ms. Seo as your daughter-in-law.

I thought it was because of Reporter Seo Sang Gyeon.

Since we're on the subject of our past,

I should tell you that my daughter made another mistake.

She set Bongto Factory on fire...

to kill one of the female students.

But that female student escaped from the factory.

Here's what's interesting.

A body that was found at the factory supposedly belonged to the student.

But the body was too damaged, so we couldn't check her DNA.

Then where could the student be...

right now?

Is it something I should be aware of?

Well, maybe. Or maybe not.

Of all people,

Detective Kim Tae Heon got...

the recording file of the 911 call that day.

I got the recording file and listened to the whole thing.

Would you like to listen to it too?

You'll hear a voice you can easily recognize.

If you need the recording, just let me know anytime.

And next time you want to see me,

I suggest you make an appointment in advance.

(December 24, 2009)

What? The fire trucks can't even budge?

What can they do? The roads are heavily congested now.

Give me an update as soon as things are sorted out at the scene.

All right.

Let's see.

It's already well past the golden hour.

Even if they fly there now,

they certainly can't contain the fire.

It must've collapsed by now, only leaving some rebars standing.

My goodness. You tried so hard to get rid of them but couldn't.

Who knew the factory would burn down in a fire?

What's more? The fire trucks can't even move. What timing.

Oh, my.

The morning prayers surely paid off.

Why are you all quiet? Is something the matter?

No. You're right about everything, sir.

You're no fun today. This is boring.

Oh, right.

Your golf bag. It's in your car, right?

- My iron. - I'll drop it off for you.

There are other things in my car, so I can't get the golf bag out now.

Chairman Seol, that idiot. He couldn't say a word.

Well, how can I use this?

If this man is Woo Jae, it means he killed Dad too.

But it makes no sense.

Why would Woo Jae kill Dad?

Where shall we go for our vacation this year?

(A year ago)

I'm easy.

Let's go to a place where you want to go.

Then how about New York?

I can go anywhere...

but New York. I'm fine with anywhere else.

Why?

Oh, is it because you studied there?

The whole time I was there,

I was lonely and depressed.

When did you leave for New York?

February of 2010.

My dad...

passed away in January.

So when we were 20,

we were both lonely and depressed.

Dad passed away in January 2010,

and Woo Jae left for New York in February that year to study abroad,

so I must check Woo Jae's alibi on the day my dad died.

Isn't it all over now?

Why are you here?

I will not apologize.

Don't look at me like that.

Yoon Young's gone, and I'm locked up here.

Had you not run away,

Yoon Young's plan would have failed.

You brought it upon yourself.

Yes, that I admit.

I'm here because something more important happened.

My husband.

Around February 2010,

he left for the US to study abroad. You know about it, right?

Yes.

Do you happen to know what he was up to during the month...

before his departure?

Because of Lee Na Ri's death,

he was probably devastated.

Woo Jae and I were never close.

Anything connected to Yoo Yoon Young?

Is there anything you remember?

Unless I go through my diary from that time,

I don't really remember anything.

Hey, it's me. Do me a favor.

Mo Soo Rin's diary is in the evidence room, right?

- Yes. - Can you go through...

the diary entries from January and see if...

any of them mention Yoo Yoon Young and my husband together?

This is very important to me.

Well, all right.

If you find anything, take a picture and send it to me.

Is Tae Heon there too?

Yes.

This has to stay between us. Please don't tell him.

- What was that about? - What?

Nothing important.

(List of Mid to Large Hospitals in Mueon)

(Myeonseong University Mueon Ansim Hospital)

Hello, I'm Detective Kim Tae Heon...

from Gangha Police's Violent Crimes Unit 1.

I'm calling to check...

if the body of an unidentified 19-year-old girl...

was transported to your hospital in the afternoon or later...

on December 24, 2009.

- Hey. - I went through the diary entries.

I found one that says Yoo visited a hospital in Seoul...

to see your husband.

Woo Jae was in Seoul?

What's the date in that entry?

January 10.

Can you take a picture of it and send it to me?

Sure.

(Yoon Young canceled on me to visit Woo Jae in the hospital in Seoul.)

Father, what brings you by?

Do you know why the Lord puts us through ordeals?

To turn us from wrongdoing...

and keep us from pride and arrogance.

Now that I'm becoming a grandfather,

and my son is volunteering to help me run the business,

I let my arrogance get the best of me.

The records of 911 calls from that day.

Detective Kim Tae Heon took the records.

- Sorry? - I'm talking about...

December 24, 2009.

(Nothing Uncovered)

I would've totally done something if I wasn't so drunk that day.

Tae Heon, give up.

For Reporter Seo and for your own sake too.

I'm becoming a mother.

For my child, I must find out...

whether or not Woo Jae is a murderer.

On Christmas Eve 2009,

I found a headlight shard with blood on it.

Did something happen here on January 10?

A concert was held to commemorate the Bongto Factory fire victims.

Why? Why was it kept hidden?

If it's a murder case, finding the body is of utmost importance.

We must find Lee Na Ri's body no matter what.

Jung Won, what are you doing in Mueon?

Did you see the news?

Skeletal remains were found on Mount Mueon.

It's Lee Na Ri.
