(December 24, 2009)

We can have a date in Seoul on Christmas Eve next year.

You can drive, so you have to take me out for a drive that day.

We can go for a drive today too.

I should've brought my dad's car.

You just got your license.

Today, I wanted to walk with you, holding your hand like this.

The person you have reached is unavailable...

Please leave a message after the tone.

Extra charges may apply.

Na Ri.

I brought my dad's car to drive you home.

Call me when you get this message.

I'll wait in front of the factory.

Na Ri.

Na Ri!

Na Ri!

Na Ri...

Na Ri, why are you here?

Na Ri.

Hello, my... My friend is hurt.

She collapsed.

I don't know.

No, it was an accident.

We're near the Bongto factory now.

(Incoming Call, Father)

I told you not to take my car without my permission.

Where are you?

I'm on my way to the hospital.

The hospital?

My friend is hurt.

I don't think she's breathing.

What?

I hit her with the car, Father.

Calm down.

First, check if she's still alive or not.

Now!

She's... I think she's dead.

Come home at once.

Both our lives are at stake here.

Do as you're told!

This song. Na Ri liked it too.

It's the first time...

I've mentioned Na Ri since that night.

I told Eun Sae about her, so it's the second time.

Apparently I called Na Ri in my sleep.

The day she died,

Eun Sae called and told me.

You obnoxious jerk. Listen up.

I told Seo Jung Won everything yesterday.

All about our relationship.

Even that I'm pregnant.

No.

What you said when you cried in your sleep a week ago.

I didn't tell her about that.

I don't know what I said in my sleep,

but the problem was,

Eun Sae realized that...

I had...

killed Lee Na Ri.

I thought her death would bury it,

but it's about to come out again.

There's nothing wrong with your 911 call.

Even if they figure out you made it, we can come up with an explanation.

There's nothing more to look into. They can't look into it.

Kim Tae Heon and Mo Hyung Taek both.

They can't do anything until her body's found.

Even if your worst fear comes true, without a corpse...

That it will end up as an ordinary missing person case?

I know it will.

You said that enough to make my ears bleed.

I thought we'd sorted it out.

Did you come here this late out of anxiety or something?

I told you clearly...

that you couldn't mess up now.

If you're worried, drop the Mujin resort project...

and go abroad with Jung Won.

I won't run away.

Steeling my resolve on my own didn't seem good enough,

so I came to run it by you.

What I did.

I'll hide it even more completely.

Until the very end.

I can't let my child be branded...

as the child of a murderer.

From now on,

I'll become more cowardly, more shameless,

and more dreadful, Father.

If I sway under the pressure,

help me stay on my feet.

I heard you ended up in the ER the day after we drank here.

Why didn't you tell me?

You can't drink so much when you have liver cirrhosis.

I didn't tell you because I knew you'd nag.

My goodness.

You asked me to nag every now and then as a parent.

I would've totally done something if I wasn't...

so drunk that day. Eat that.

The older you get,

the harder it becomes to live sober.

It takes even more effort.

Do you know...

what I respect and acknowledge you the most for?

You never look like you're out of control.

Your life isn't that easy either.

You're widowed and have...

a sibling with a rare disease.

Unlucky people like me manage to go on.

Your life is a hundred times better than mine,

so why are you so messed up?

I don't know.

I think my life is just as messed up as yours.

Tae Heon.

Give up.

For Reporter Seo and for your own sake too.

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.

Dad.

Who did you talk to outside Lee Na Ri's place?

Did you die because of that call?

I'm so frustrated, but I don't know how to find out.

Can't you appear in a dream and tell me?

(The late Seo Sang Gyeon)

I'm becoming a mother.

For my child and me,

I must find out...

whether or not...

Woo Jae is a murderer.

Why did Woo Jae come here that day?

- Can I ask you something? - Sure.

Did something happen here on January 10?

On the tenth?

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

It happens here every year.

I see.

- Thank you. - Sure.

- Hi, Ae Na. - Did you read about your pregnancy?

Your in-laws released the news even though it's early.

It looks like they're pressuring you to come back.

What will you do?

Let's talk about it later.

(Mujin Group Heir Seol and Wife Seo Are Expecting)

Hi, Jung Won.

Did you read the article about my pregnancy?

It's in the news?

No amount of articles will make me move back.

I'm sorry. I dropped the ball.

As soon as I'm back in Seoul,

I'll tell PR to make sure it's never mentioned again.

Where are you?

I'm at Mueon.

Why are you there again?

Well...

I'm at Mujin Development to discuss...

the new resort we'll build.

My father will join me soon.

Instead of talking to PR, get the message across to him.

He had no offspring,

so I wondered if I should...

adopt the nephew who was born two years ago.

You can relax now.

Now your heir will have an heir,

competitors are already worried...

that our company will soon grow much larger.

Look into expanding the high-end...

residential complex you're planning.

When my daughter-in-law's heavily pregnant,

she would make the perfect model.

Yes, sir. I'll work on something...

to improve our image, as well as gain...

more government funding and benefits.

Yes, good.

I know that you got the reporters...

to publish about Jung Won's pregnancy...

as well as her suspected affair with Kim Tae Heon.

Remember what I told you?

All the heinous deeds you committed for my sake...

I can understand them now.

I know that the news articles about her pregnancy are...

just the start.

I also know that you could have pressured her more,

but you're holding yourself back.

Dad.

I'll go all-in...

with this project.

I will bring results that surpass your expectations.

So I ask that you don't bother Jung Won.

To tell you the truth,

I'd rather avoid doing something that she hates...

instead of trying to do ten things that she likes.

Please, Dad.

Hey, Assemblyman Mo.

Sure.

You can have lunch with Mr. Bae.

What about you?

He's getting big-headed...

because he listened to the 911 call.

I have no choice.

I must put him in his place.

Did you already have a lunch appointment?

Did you have to cancel for me?

Just like you wanted,

I'll increase it to Level Four for the building use.

However, I will need to take the 49-percent profit...

of the total investment profits.

If this goes south,

I might get charged with malpractice.

I ought to be rewarded for the big risk I'm taking.

I doubt that you're in any position to be stubborn about this.

Remember the 2009 Christmas Eve.

Are you talking about the 911 call my son made?

I saw your car in the garage that day.

The front headlight was completely shattered. You know?

Who caused the accident?

Was it you or your son?

Do you remember my driver who used to work for me? Mr. Hong?

I see. So the driver caused the accident?

After picking up my son, he was driving my son back.

Then he hit my son's friend.

Who?

Why do you want to know?

I get the feeling his friend might be someone I know.

I ought to pay Mr. Hong a visit.

He died of an illness three years ago...

unfortunately.

My son called 911 to report the accident.

The car was damaged. So I understand your suspicion.

People like us have a hard time trusting others. You know?

You're right.

All right. I'll take a closer look...

to see if you're telling the truth or not.

Go ahead.

Because I took a closer look at you.

You know, the scars on your solar plexus?

You were treated for the scars three weeks ago...

by Dr. Han.

Your daughter is claiming that...

you're faking the whole thing.

I'm thinking about...

paying her a visit in your place.

Can I?

Thanks for the meal.

It doesn't matter what Soo Rin says.

It's nothing compared to the evidence I have.

All those years ago, there was blood...

on the broken headlight of your car.

So I took a piece of the bloodstained headlight.

I don't care about the identity of Woo Jae's friend in the accident.

But I will try to find the friend and compare the blood samples.

I should thank you for the meal.

My friend is hurt.

We're near...

Bongto Factory.

If Lee Na Ri was the friend who got hurt around Bongto Factory,

Seol Woo Jae could have reported it since he was her boyfriend then.

Tae Heon.

Was Seol Woo Jae the account holder...

who made the 911 call in 2009 under that number?

Gosh. Seriously.

It's like you're psychic or something when you do that.

In the 911 call, he said his friend was hurt.

- That friend... - It could be Lee Na Ri.

If so, it means Seol Woo Jae knew that Lee escaped from the factory...

and Lee was caught in a fire incident at the factory.

If your line of reasoning is correct,

when Lee's funeral was held with someone else's dead body,

Seol Woo Jae intentionally kept his silence.

Why?

Why did he cover it up and keep it a secret?

She wasn't just a friend. She was his girlfriend.

What if he was the one who caused the accident?

Covering it up makes sense.

So Seol Woo Jae is a murderer?

So he knows where her body is too. Is that what you're saying?

If my hunch is right, and this is a murder case,

the corpse will play the most important role.

We must find Lee's body no matter what.

If he hid the fact that he murdered Lee...

and married Seo Jung Won...

(January 10)

(Concert to Commemorate the Bongto Factory Fire Victims)

(No one has taken responsibility for what happened.)

(Concert to Commemorate the Bongto Factory Fire Victims)

(Memories, Promises, and Missing You)

That guy.

What is Jung Won's husband doing here?

No way.

That can't be.

Jung Won, did you know?

Banana milk was my sister's favorite.

I'm sure your husband knew about it too.

He was Na Ri's first love.

I confess.

You reminded me of my sister.

Get in the car in one minute, or you're not getting the snack!

I felt comforted every time you took care of me,

and I felt like I could rely on you,

as if my late sister came back from the dead.

Hey, that's cute.

Jung Won.

If my hunch is right, and my sister really is buried here...

And if it was your husband who killed her and buried her,

I will...

avenge her death in the same manner.

I'm sorry, Jung Won.

I'm really sorry.

Na Ri.

Na Ri.

What is this?

What is this?

Na Ri!

Na Ri, I'm sorry.

You heard that just now, right?

What is happening here?

Yes, Detective Bong.

What?

I'll leave now.

I love you.

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

Our feelings for each other still remain.

I can wait for a long time.

I want to wait.

Can't I?

I told him not to contact me again.

Why am I waiting for his call, like an idiot?

Do you know this guy?

- He was strangled. - Yes.

The unidentified human remains buried here.

It must be Lee Na Ri, right?

Yes, I think so.

Because Lee Ba Reun was found right next to them.

The skin on Lee Ba Reun's palms has all peeled off.

He dug this all up.

If he dug this whole area,

it means he was sure Lee Na Ri was buried here.

That's odd.

How did he know that she was buried here?

That I don't know.

But he died because he knew Lee Na Ri was buried here.

The person who buried Lee Na Ri probably killed him too.

That makes sense.

What time did the witness find him?

Well, around 7 p.m. They said they heard someone running.

This isn't a hiking trail.

I'm 99 percent sure it was the person who killed Lee.

The culprit was in a rush to flee, so they left him here?

So the culprit was here...

until the witness arrived.

- Did something happen here? - What are you doing in Mueon?

That's what I want to ask you.

What happened?

- What is going on? - Well, it's...

Detective Bong.

What is it?

Why won't you tell me?

You're scaring me.

Is it something I can't know?

Wait.

Listen carefully to what I say.

Lee Ba Reun...

is dead.

He was found on Mount Mueon,

and his body was taken away.

Was it suicide?

I don't think you should see the body.

(911 Rescue Team)

Don't, Jung Won.

No.

This isn't right.

Ba Reun.

Ba Reun.

Wake up.

Ba Reun.

No. It was a gift.

Get in in the next minute or you don't get to eat.

I'll be in touch again, Jung Won.

Let's have a drink...

next time just like old times.

You said you'd be in touch.

We were going to meet up.

If you end up like this too...

No.

Wake up.

Ba Reun.

Ba Reun!

Ba Reun!

Ba Reun!

Open your eyes.

Oh, no.

Ba Reun.

Ba Reun!

Ba Reun! No!

Please wake up.

Come on!

Let's go.

No.

No!

Ba Reun.

(Mount Mueon National Park)

What? Lee Ba Reun was murdered?

Is that why you asked me to track Seol Woo Jae in real time?

Do you have anything?

He's in Mueon.

Locate his car now.

Hang on.

His car's in Mueon too.

Where in Mueon?

(Mueon Royal Hotel)

Mueon Royal Hotel.

Seheung City got high marks in the municipal evaluation,

and received an award and prize money from the minister.

The next report...

comes from Mount Mueon in Gangwon Province.

Female skeletal remains...

and a male's body were found side by side.

Police are considering murder...

- Female skeletal remains? - And are investigating further.

Female skeletal remains were found on Mount Mueon too?

It looks like Lee Na Ri.

We don't have an ID yet.

The witness said...

they heard footsteps of someone running away.

I think the killer watched Lee Ba Reun dig up the body,

and when he found it, killed him, then got away.

The truth...

he wanted so much was right before him.

Hello. Do you have an ID?

Okay.

The skeleton is Lee Na Ri.

I should go.

Jung Won. What's going on?

What are you doing in Mueon?

Skeletal remains and a murdered man...

were found on Mount Mueon.

Did you see the news?

- No. - The dead man is Lee Ba Reun.

The skeleton. It's Lee Na Ri.

They were siblings.

What?

Ba Reun, the youngest guy on my team...

was murdered.

You checked into the hotel at 6 p.m.

Were you here all along?

Did you go out?

- What's this about? - Tell me.

Did you go out?

Do you think I'm the killer?

Can I ask the hotel to show me the CCTV footage?

Can you find and show me footage...

from this elevator?

I can do that since he gave permission,

but your husband actually went to the bar...

in the hotel lounge,

then took the elevator back up to his room 30 minutes later.

We checked that a while ago already.

A detective came by and asked me to see it.

The detective confirmed...

he didn't leave the room after returning from the bar.

So since he came back from the lounge bar,

he didn't go out again?

That's right.

(January 11, I met with Jung Won.)

(Jan 8, A Korean friend emailed me. Jan 3, It's snowing.)

What could this be?

Around this time every year,

there's a concert to commemorate the factory victims.

This was handed out to the public.

When was this year's concert?

(January 10, Bongto Factory Concert)

January 10.

That means Lee Ba Reun was at the concert on January 10.

Woo Jae.

I'm going to ask you something.

I want you to promise me...

you won't lie.

Promise me.

- Okay. - Before Yoo Yoon Young died,

do you know what she whispered to me?

She said Cha Eun Sae's killer...

wasn't Mo Soo Rin.

- She said it was you. - What?

Why do you think she said that?

The man in this video.

Is it you?

Is it you?

No.

It's not.

You know.

This man.

I saw him when my dad died.

My dad's killer...

had a knife with the same swirling pattern.

What you're saying is...

The man in this video...

also killed my dad.

I'm certain of it.

I suspected you, thinking that this man might be you.

My father passed away on January 10, 2010,

and you were in a hospital in Seoul to get treated that day.

I couldn't stop harming myself around that time.

So I was in a psychiatric hospital.

They put me in there for treatments, but I was basically locked up.

I can verify that for you.

("Male Corpse and Female Skeleton Found at Mount Mueon")

(Hospital Director Lee Seung Han)

Hello, sir. It's me.

- You've been well. Right? - Hey, Woo Jae.

Why are you calling me at this hour?

Well, I know that it was a long time ago.

But I need to check something with you.

You know, I was admitted into the hospital for two weeks...

in early January of 2010.

I was in a closed ward, so I couldn't come out. Right?

Back then, your father was very adamant about your treatment.

It's all in the past. Why are you asking me that now?

I just needed to clarify it.

Thank you. I'll call you again some other time.

Sure.

Jung Won.

It really wasn't me.

I can swear on it with everything I have as our child's father.

Jung Won.

I would like to go...

to the scene tomorrow with you.

I hoped...

more desperately...

than anyone that you weren't the culprit.

You know why. Don't you?

If you killed my father,

that would be...

the biggest tragedy my child would have to face...

and that would be...

the worst place all of us could ever...

imagine being in.

I am...

truly relieved...

that it wasn't you.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Why are you guys coming together?

I would like to accompany her to the scene.

Sit in the passenger seat then.

What are some belongings of Ba Reun you found at the scene?

We couldn't find his main phone.

We found a burner phone, a notepad, and a wallet in his backpack...

along with a white pinwheel.

A white pinwheel?

On January 10, there was a memorial event...

for the fire incident at the factory.

People received the pinwheels at the event.

Woo Jae. Weren't you at the event too?

Yes.

You must have attended the event for Lee Na Ri.

Yes.

Did you meet with Lee Ba Reun that day?

No. I didn't see him there.

Did you attend the event every year?

No.

But why did you attend it this year?

The real arsonist was arrested.

I wanted to pay my respect properly this time.

(Mueon Recreational Forest)

- Excuse us. - Hello.

I'm from the police.

The security camera is installed in the front.

I would like to take the footage files for January.

I see. Well,

the security system collapsed earlier this morning.

So we lost all of our data.

I only have the data from this morning.

It collapsed earlier this morning?

Does this happen often?

No, not really.

Okay.

Lee Na Ri's skeleton was found here.

We believe that Lee Ba Reun dug these two pits.

I've been thinking about this.

I was the one who told him that his sister escaped from the factory.

But he managed to find where his sister was buried.

That doesn't add up.

Excluding his burner phone,

was he in contact with anyone via call or text?

You were the last person to talk to him.

I didn't find any relevant leads on his notepad either.

Did you meet with Lee Na Ri on December 24, 2009?

Mr. Seol.

- Yes? - On December 24, 2009,

did you meet with Lee Na Ri?

You might have met her since it was Christmas Eve.

You were her boyfriend.

We did.

When did you guys part ways that day?

Na Ri had to go to the factory for her part-time job.

I walked her to the factory in the evening and said goodbye.

Was that the last time you saw her?

After saying goodbye to Lee Na Ri...

Never mind.

Let's go.

Jung Won.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Be careful.

This isn't good. Get on my back.

I'm okay.

What if you trip over by mistake?

You're pregnant.

Let me help you walk down then.

Do you feel nauseous?

I need to use the restroom.

The restroom?

It's over there.

Will you go back to Seoul with her?

Yes, why?

Then I should ask you this now.

Hello, my... My friend is hurt.

No, it was an accident.

We're...

near the Bongto factory now.

This is your voice, right?

Yes.

So, your friend who was hurt.

- Was it Lee Na Ri? - Lee Na Ri?

No.

Mr. Hong, our driver at the time, was driving,

and I was sitting in the passenger seat.

We hit Min Chul, so I called it in.

- Kim Min Chul? - He wasn't seriously injured,

so we settled and got it sorted out amongst ourselves.

Go ahead and ask Min Chul directly.

I don't need to ask him anything to know he'll say the same thing.

Mr. Hong too.

You knew I got my hands...

on the recording of your voice from that time.

So you arranged everything in advance.

You jumped to conclusions...

because of that recording.

You just assumed that I probably killed Lee Na Ri...

and Lee Ba Reun as well.

Even with the Cha Eun Sae case,

you falsely accused me.

You keep making the same mistake over and over again.

I think you're making a mistake here.

I tracked down every single place Lee Ba Reun visited recently.

I believe...

he followed someone...

after attending the concert for the factory victims on January 10.

Considering the timeline, if that was when he found out...

that his sister was buried here, everything checks out.

I see. Is that why you contacted the security office...

for the security footage and all the records?

Too bad.

You would've been able to find out had they kept the records.

To tell you the truth, I went there last night...

and got everything I needed...

already.

(The night before)

- Hello. - Hello, how may I help you?

Police.

That camera outside.

Can I check the footage from January?

Yes, sure.

This is from January 10.

This is you, right?

You were caught on the camera...

an hour after the concert ended.

What if Lee Ba Reun...

saw you at the concert and followed you there?

Nonsense.

Stop, okay?

It wasn't me.

It wasn't you? Are you sure?

Shall I trace the places you visited that day and the routes you took?

- Do it. - Do it? Okay, sure.

Let's find out if you were the man Lee Ba Reun followed that day.

I'll keep on digging with all my might.

If this turns out to be you,

I'll make you pay for it.

For Jung Won's sake.

(National Forensic Service)

Detective Kim, I have something to tell you.

My dad...

was murdered...

after he threatened the person who killed Lee Na Ri.

And the person who murdered him killed Cha Eun Sae too.

What did you say?

This is...

Yoo Yoon Young left behind this footage...

from a spy cam recorded the day Cha Eun Sae died.

The man who killed Cha Eun Sae...

murdered my dad too.

How can you be so sure?

The day my dad was murdered,

I saw it with my own two eyes.

The black clothes and the black ball cap.

Even the knife is identical.

(Year 2008)

(Kim Tae Heon)

What is that?

- Let go! - What if I refuse?

Darn you.

Who are you, mister?

- Are you a thug? - I'm a cop, you brat.

A cop?

Before Yoo Yoon Young died, she told me...

that Woo Jae was the one who killed Cha Eun Sae.

I had to check it wasn't him,

so I couldn't turn it in sooner.

I believe this man...

killed Lee Na Ri, my dad,

and Ba Reun too.

(Nothing Uncovered)

Who is this person? I will find out, no matter what.

Will you find the killer yourself?

They've released Lee Na Ri's autopsy report.

Seol Woo Jae hit her with the car.

So it was a hit-and-run?

Did you know that Mr. Gong killed Jung Won's father too?

You didn't order him to do it, did you?

You've never once let me down.

Have your skills gotten rusty?

If Seol Woo Jae was the hit-and-run driver,

and if that man buried her...

My dad visited Mueon in 2009,

saying he was working on a report.

Do you know what he was working on?

I should have never met you.

I should have never loved you.

Leave Seol Woo Jae.

I will get you out of that miserable place as soon as I can.
