I'd realized then...

about my fate.

She was a ray of light...

in my insignificant and useless life.

(Sacrifice)

Jung Ha Eun.

I knew I'd do everything I could...

for her.

Even if it was death.

(Sacrifice)

(Episode 31)

What's this?

I realized I am not qualified to be a prosecutor.

I want to turn back the mistakes I made...

due to my belief.

I'll also take responsibility for not obeying your command.

You've already caused me trouble.

And you want to be responsible now?

Speaking of which, let me ask you one thing.

Why were you so obsessed with getting In Woo and Sang Ah?

I'm sure you know that they committed...

numerous murders.

As for Sang Ah,

she tried to kill someone I love.

As for In Woo,

consider this as a detective's atonement...

for contributing to making Ji Chul a serial killer.

Detective who?

Forget it.

I can see it's time you resigned with that mention of atonement.

I will transfer you to the province. Keep it low there.

Don't let things get out of hand.

Let me ask you something too.

Why did you try to cover up In Woo's case...

going as far as trying to kill me?

Why you...

What are you talking about? Who's killing whom?

Is it because you were the prosecutor in charge?

Or...

are there more secrets to be kept?

I'll take it that...

you accepted my letter of resignation.

This is the last favor I ask of you as your colleague.

Make sure you review...

the claims for the retrial I sent you.

I know it the best...

as I'd been in charge of these cases.

So don't confess anything on the first night.

It's not like he or she will forgive you if you did.

Doesn't it take courage to confess your mistakes?

Giving someone who is hurt the pressure to forgive...

is only making it harder for one.

I wouldn't confess if it were me.

Are you saying he should live with that mistake?

No, he can protect that person.

He can protect that person by one's side...

and risk his life once for one.

Can I see you now?

I need to tell you something.

I can't make it today.

I'm here to see my dad right now.

Okay. I'll call you tomorrow.

Why did you bring so many things?

Please try this.

- It's tasty, isn't it? - Yes, it is delicious.

This is special sushi made with spring flounder you like.

Chew it well and eat it.

This is so good.

Spring flounder is great.

My uncles are the best.

Sa Bin, you should eat too. It's really good.

We are taking good care of Sa Bin,

so don't worry about her and eat as much as you want today.

Try this strawberry I brought too.

- You like strawberries. - Of course.

They're good.

I have something to give you too. Here it is.

You can have it.

Isn't this your diary?

I don't keep a diary anymore.

I'm not scared of Ji Chul.

I heard that Ji Chul is not a serial killer.

Right. Ji Chul is not a serial killer.

- He has been framed. - I know.

I won't be needing that now.

Can I read this then?

Here's your spring flounder!

Have water first.

Okay.

You need to see this.

I'm coming right now, so wait for me at home.

What is it that I need to see?

It's my dad's diary.

Look here.

It's written here...

who it was that killed you.

The prosecutor in charge...

killed Gong Ji Chul.

When Ji Chul came back alive from the mortuary,

he called Lawyer Jang Hye Mi.

But she...

only pretended to help Ji Chul...

and had another deal behind it.

I need you to take care of someone.

Are you asking me what I should do with a dead man?

Chun Seok Tae.

He is the man who killed Ji Chul.

I think it was Chun Seok Tae...

who ordered to kill you.

Jang Hye Mi told me...

the man who killed me...

was Chun Seok Tae.

I doubted it as I couldn't trust Jang Hye Mi.

Ji Chul was betrayed by the only lawyer he trusted...

and the prosecutor ordered to kill him...

to cover up his wrongdoings.

You know now.

Revenge is not done by blood,

but it makes you carry your sins...

and live atoning for it.

My father in my previous life...

killed my mind,

and my father in this life...

killed my body in the previous life.

There's a chance...

Gong Ji Chul might be watching you from not too far away.

Even if the body fades,

a vengeful soul will always come back.

Come in.

What do you want?

I've got something to ask.

What is it at this hour?

I met a man by coincidence a few days ago.

When he saw me,

he was trembling as he said Gong Ji Chul came back.

Pardon?

You would know because you've met...

Gong Ji Chul in person.

Do you also think...

that I resemble Gong Ji Chul so much?

What are you?

I think he said...

Prosecutor Chun Seok Tae will not leave him...

and his daughter alone...

if he uttered a word.

Who are you?

Did you kill me?

Say it.

Did you kill me because you didn't want to admit your mistake?

Did you stomp on his body...

to get to where you are?

Ji Chul?

Are you really Ji Chul?

I am Ji Chul...

whom you killed that day.

Get out.

Get out of here, now!

What is it?

What is happening?

What...

have you done?

Where did you...

get this evil blood from?

What do you mean evil blood?

He has the DNA of the upper one percent.

The DNA you picked for me...

was of a random man.

What do you mean?

Jang Hye Mi.

She told me.

You changed the expensive sperms she obtained...

with a randomly donated one.

- What? - Get out of here.

Stop with your nonsense...

and get out of my sight.

Both of you, leave!

Chun Seok Tae,

I know you are not someone who'll change.

That's why I'll just watch you.

You need to remember I'm alive for the rest of your life.

Making sure you never forget the terrible things...

you did to be successful...

is my revenge.

You still have your chances.

Run away from this house.

Don't blame your parents...

for ruining you later.

All right.

You were never loved in your life.

(02-1703 John Doe)

You grew up listening to the curse...

of your father that you will become a murderer.

I feel sorry for you.

Rest in peace.

Gong Ji Chul.

(02-1703 John Doe)

(02-1703 Gong Ji Chul)

I miss you.

Me too.

I want to see you.

Can I come to see you?

Sure.

Jong Bum?

I'm sorry.

I had something urgent that I forgot about.

I’ll call you back.

Okay, I'll wait for you.

Did you...

mess with my life?

What?

Did you make someone who looks like Gong Ji Chul...

be born as my son?

What are you talking about?

Do you think I'm some kind of a deity?

All I did was switch the sperm your wife chose...

into some anonymous person's sperm.

Who knew that would turn out to be Ji Chul?

I'm asking the reason you did that to me.

Do you really not know?

Did you forget about your past after your quick promotion?

You told me you would love me until you died.

You begged me not to betray you first.

Did you forget all that?

You told me you were happy just sharing ramyeon with me.

What happened?

Once you were introduced to a rich girl...

you wouldn't even answer my calls.

You dare blame me...

after all that you've done?

I should have...

killed you...

instead of Gong Ji Chul.

You being clingy until the very end...

disgusts me.

I'm the one who regrets it more.

I shouldn't have told you where Ji Chul was.

Then you would still have been stuck at rock bottom.

Why did you tell me?

Don't tell me it was because of love.

Yes.

I did love you.

I just didn't want to see the man that I once loved to be ruined.

So...

is that why you slept with that scum,

Gong In Woo as soon as you broke up with me?

You dirty...

You really must have a death wish.

Hey, put it down.

Where are your manners?

What brings Prosecutor Kim over here?

Are you here to arrest me for punching you more?

How much is the rent for this place?

I suppose you wouldn't know...

since president Baek pays it for you.

Prosecutor Kim.

Do you have any business left with me?

I'm not a prosecutor anymore.

I'm here to repay my debts.

What the heck are you talking about?

Let's file...

a request for a retrial for Sung Ha.

You can file for a retrial...

even after the defendant is dead.

I know better than anyone that his court sentence was wrong.

Give me a chance...

to make an innocent death right.

Are you serious?

Let me start by apologizing.

I'm sorry.

For everything I've done to your brother...

and you.

Are you kidding me?

I can't defend your case...

because it was one of my former cases.

I'll find you a great lawyer.

And I'll give you all the data you need.

All you have to do is...

send your men to find evidence that Sung Ha was in love...

with that teacher.

Let's do it once the request goes through.

That punk.

The location of the bullet changed.

It was on the left side of your head the last time we checked...

but now it's touching the blood vessels and the brain.

Are you saying...

my condition got worse?

Yes.

At this rate,

it won't be long until the bullet cuts through your blood vessels.

I can't even guarantee you a month.

I'll have the surgery right now.

You told me I could live if I had surgery.

Let's have that right now.

Things are different from back then.

The chances of success are less than ten percent.

Doctor.

I need to live.

I...

I finally have a reason to live.

So why did you postpone the surgery until it got this bad?

I want to live, please.

Please save me.

I can't recommend the surgery as it stands.

The Donggang Mummy discovered on March 5th, 2020,

has been tested for sex, race,

paternity, and maternity bloodlines,

and was identified to be...

the person born in 1956 and died in 1988,

Cha Hyung Bin.

I hope he rests in peace.

Detective Cha.

We could identify him quickly thanks to you, Detective Ju.

What should we do with his remains?

He told me to...

take care of all of it.

Is there a relative left?

Detective Cha... No.

His distant relative...

told me to do that.

Okay.

Then let's close the case for the Donggang Mummy.

I guess you found his name.

Good job.

Do you think...

I could go in your stead?

Pardon?

If you find Hyung Bin's body...

please bury him here with me.

Hello, In Do.

I'm waiting.

What?

I will find you whether you are dead or alive.

And you...

also need to find where I am.

That's what I prayed 30 years ago.

I think I was reborn...

so I could...

find you again like this.

(Cha Hyung Bin)

Thank you for finding me again,

Ha Eun.

Thank you for allowing me to find you,

Hyung Bin.

They are...

finally buried together.

Jung Ha Eun,

you must be happy your wish came true.

I guess...

this is the end of Ha Eun and Hyung Bin's story...

from 30 years ago.

Shall we talk...

about us now?

Su Hyuk,

we should...

Wait a minute.

Cha Hyung Bin's story hasn't ended.

It seems...

I appeared to you once again...

because I wasn't able to tell you this.

Is it about the thing that you said...

you wanted to tell me about?

Yes.

It's something I should've said...

when I went to meet you for the first time.

Can you listen to me even if it hurts you?

Kim Jin Hyuk, you jerk.

I'm going to catch you today no matter what happens.

I always knew...

the one who caused the accident...

was a criminal being chased by the police.

But...

are you trying to tell me...

that you were that person?

Yes.

It was me.

You were only chasing after the suspect.

It wasn't you who killed my parents.

It was the criminal, wasn't it?

Tell me I'm right, Hyung Bin.

If only I hadn't chased him,

the accident might not...

have happened.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me, Ha Eun.

I fell in love with you at first sight.

I was afraid my love would fail without even trying.

That's why...

I couldn't tell you in the past...

even until now.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, Ha Eun.

I...

I'm...

I'm very...

confused right now.

I'm sorry.

Where have you been?

I missed you so much I almost died.

Jung Sa Bin.

Until when will you be in there? What's going on?

Shouldn't we just open the door and check on her?

She asked me to leave her alone because she wanted to think.

That would've been fine for 1 or 2 days.

She hasn't eaten for days and didn't even go to work.

There's no other choice.

Call Jam Bum.

- Jam Bum? - Yes, Jam Bum.

- Who's Jam Bum? - Are you talking about Jong Bum?

He calls him that because his life is jammed.

Sa Bin hasn't left her room in days. Can you come, Jong Bum?

What's going on?

I don't know what's going on...

but Sa Bin hasn't left her room for days.

You should call her out.

Is everything okay?

Have you been staying like this...

since that day you cried?

You told me once...

that you could feel...

if I was sad, angry, or in pain.

I didn't understand it back then.

But I do now.

You've taught me empathy.

If I was in your shoes,

you would've used all your might to pull me out.

We're all worried about you.

Please come out.

Sa Bin.

Sa Bin.

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

What happened?

I was planning to come out when I stopped crying.

But it won't stop.

I was going to come out smiling...

when my heart stopped aching.

But it's not getting better.

My heart aches so much.

- Oh, dear! - Sa Bin!

- Sa Bin. - Good grief.

His back always smells like soil.

It's the kind of smell...

when the sun comes out after the rain.

I know this smell of soil.

Did you know?

There was a man who was always beside Jung Ha Eun.

But it wasn't the first time.

He carried her here last time.

I now remember.

This back had always...

saved my life.

It was you all along,

Gong Ji Chul.

We did a sonogram and found...

that the function of her left ventricle is poor and expanded.

You said it was fine...

for the regular checkup last time. Why did this happen suddenly?

Did the patient go through something difficult recently?

It's broken heart syndrome.

People can get these symptoms...

if they are in great shock such as the death of a loved one.

The stress hormone contracts the vessel headed to the heart...

and temporarily halts the muscles of the heart from functioning properly.

People usually recover soon.

But for Ms. Jung Sa Bin...

this syndrome seems to have ignited the aftermath of a heart transplant.

Then...

what's going to happen to her now?

For now,

we can only watch her hoping it doesn't get any worse.

What happens if it becomes worse?

In that case,

the only way is cardiac retransplantation.

But since we have a long waiting list,

it'll be hard for her to be the priority.

We'll look for other ways.

What happened to her...

that she is as sad as to ruin her heart?

Do you know anything about this?

Please stay by her side.

I need to go somewhere.

This is so upsetting.

Tell me.

What happened between you and Sa Bin?

I don't want to.

This is not the time for you to drink.

Sa Bin...

is in the hospital now.

What?

She feels severe pain you get when your loved one dies.

What is the reason for this?

Is it because she broke up with you?

You should see her again, then.

I can't stand to see...

Sa Bin in pain.

I...

hurt her.

But there's nothing I can do about it.

So...

you can be by her side now.

She'll be okay then.

I can't do that.

I'd want that too...

but I can't do that anymore.

Why not?

I...

will die soon.

So...

you should stay beside Sa Bin.

Ha Eun.

When did you get here?

You were right.

Giving someone who has hurt the burden to forgive was...

too cruel.

Even in this life,

I shouldn't have told you.

No.

Thank you for being brave.

I am not...

sick now because I am upset and angry at you.

My heart deteriorated...

when my mom and dad passed away...

even then.

I'm sure it hurts this time...

because I let them go again.

I don't think my heart can handle...

letting go of the one I love.

Can you help me get up?

Okay.

I can't take this.

I'll give this ring back to you.

From the first moment I saw you,

my heart raced for some reason.

I thought it must be love...

when the heart beats uncontrollably like that.

But...

now I know.

My heart was beating like that...

because of Ha Eun.

That's why the more I thought about you...

I felt pain in my heart.

Jong Bum...

He is someone who makes me sad and heartbroken.

At first,

I wasn't sure if it was my mind or my heart...

that was hurting.

I was confused.

But...

I am not confused now.

I've made up my mind...

to where my heart belongs.

Right.

If you want to live as your heart tells you,

you should be healthy.

Let's get better quickly...

and get up.

Just stay alive.

I...

will become your heart.

At the time,

Seo Sung Ha...

Why did I get all typos?

Just let me do it.

Sir, can't you type it sincerely?

You can just write honestly.

If you tell me, I can type it for you.

Ma Chul, look at how much you've grown.

- I'm sorry, sir. - No, it's okay. You write it.

Yes, sir.

Let me see.

At the time, Seo Sung Ha...

loved...

Lim So Hee, a teacher at the daycare center.

You can say it more quickly.

Do you think writing is easy?

Hey! Move over.

What's wrong with you? Were you stabbed?

Where did you get stabbed?

Call 911, now.

Don't report. Wait.

It'll be okay in a moment.

Wait.

- We should move him now. - Yes, sir.

Be careful.

Are you okay?

I need to tell you something, Tae Ha.

- Alone. - Right.

Do you know what you just called me?

Tae Ha.

You punk.

I didn't know if I could hear you call me that before I die.

They say I'm going to die.

- What? - The bullet I got back then...

must keep moving.

Why would you die?

You won't. I saved you, so you won't.

No, I will.

No.

We can receive surgery to take it out and save you.

The chances I'll make it is ten percent.

I'll probably die during the surgery.

How long do you have?

I'll die someday.

They say a month is as long as I have.

So...

you have to do me the favor...

I'm asking now.

This is my last will.

You jerk.

Promise me.

Whatever you do make Sa Bin a priority...

in getting a heart transplant.

Tae Ha,

you have data of Jang Hye Mi aiding and abetting murder, right?

Use that against Chairman Baek.

It'll work as her daughter got a life sentence.

Good morning, sir.

I don't think we're close enough to say hi in public.

I'll take you to someplace quiet.

I have something to tell you regarding your wife.

Yes, Chairman.

Sorry?

It's not something I can...

I got it, sir.

After that,

put me in the hospital you always visit.

Where you take your men when they're injured.

It needs to be somewhere they can perform CPR immediately.

Also, I need ample of potassium chloride.

I'll tell you the rest...

once the right time comes.

Is this it?

Good job.

I don't know if I'm doing the right thing.

Tae Ha.

Can you let me see...

Ha Eun one last time?

Can you move?

I'm fine for today.

Okay, let's go.

Are you okay?

Tae Ha.

Thank you...

for becoming my family.

Why you...

I'll stop being your family if you thank me one more time.

Families don't do that.

My mom,

my dad, and my brother,

none of them asked how I felt.

"How's your grade?"

"How's school?"

"Are you healthy?"

That's all they would ask.

But being with you...

taught me what real family was.

Jong Bum.

Let me ask you this one last time.

Is this really how you want to go?

I'm going to die anyway.

I want to at least give my heart...

to Sa Bin.

Jong Bum.

It's not like you have no chance of surviving the surgery.

Jong Bum, where were you?

It's been days since you last called.

Sa Bin.

Take your time.

Why do you look like that?

Are you sick?

Is that why you haven't called?

No.

I'm not sick anymore.

Let's go...

see some stars.

Stars?

I didn't know there was a place like this at the hospital.

The sky is clear today...

so I thought we'd see a lot of stars.

But I guess it's not easy to do in the city.

Then let's go somewhere...

we can see more stars next time.

Once I'm discharged, let's go where stars are brighter.

I don't care where we go.

Should we bring all the snacks you like?

Of course.

Let's put up a tent and listen to music too.

The coffee will have to be sweet.

Let's also bring our favorite books.

Just imagining that makes me happy.

Why just imagine it? Let's go for real.

Sa Bin.

I'm going overseas tomorrow.

I was busy preparing for that.

Why are you going overseas...

so suddenly?

You know how my mom is.

So...

are you really going?

Yes.

My mom found...

a hospital that will treat me there.

I'll also have the surgery done once I'm there.

When will you come back?

I don't know.

I'll have to see once I get there...

but it'll probably take five years.

Five years.

That's a bit long.

No.

It's very long.

What man would avoid being...

with his love of two lifetimes?

Do you have to go?

Just...

stay here with me.

I'll be your guardian.

You can have your surgery here.

I'm...

your family.

No.

I can't.

I see.

It's today.

Prepare Sa Bin without any troubles.

Tell the president that this is the first and last time I do this.

What are you planning to do to Sa Bin?

Do you want me to ask the doctor myself?

Where's Jong Bum?

He left.

He's going abroad...

tomorrow.

He was here...

to say goodbye.

Jong Bum isn't...

going overseas.

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Tae Ha, we don't have time.

We need to hurry.

Please hurry up. We need to stop Jong Bum.

Put on the oxygen mask.

Jong Bum! We're here.

- Please give me a shot. - Okay.

Jong Bum! You're almost there.

Hang in there.

Jong Bum, are you okay?

- Give me that shot, hurry. - Okay.

It's okay.

Put what's in the ample in the syringe.

Come on!

I'll do it.

I told you.

No one wants to see their loved ones become murderers.

You need to let me have a CPR...

exactly five minutes after I fall.

That's how you save the heart and not the brain.

Keep that in mind. Five minutes.

No!

Sa Bin.

How did you get here?

How am I going to live if you die?

Did you think I was going to be happy...

if I lived my life with your heart?

I would remember you so painfully every time my heart beat.

How am I going to live with that, you fool?

No. Don't do this, Jong Bum.

I only need you to live.

I won't give up.

I'll become healthy again for you.

Don't you give up either.

Hold on to even the slightest hope. Don't give up.

Let's get the operation, Jong Bum.

Jong Bum.

Chun Jong Bum!

Wake up, Jong Bum.

Wake up!

Jong Bum.

Didn't I tell you if the time came...

for me to cry for you, that I'd do it with all my heart?

I'll be crying for you...

so you need to come back.

You'll be waiting for me, won't you?

If we meet again,

let's go watch the stars.

Seok Tae!

Happy birthday.

This is my present.

- You shouldn't be doing this. - Please stand up.

Please call the police.

Are you okay, sir?

This may be hard to believe, but Gong Ji Chul is still alive.

This story you are reading is...

the story of a beautiful man...

who deserves to love and be loved.

Also,

it's the story of a girl...

who fell deeply in love with a man.

(Attorney Kim Su Hyuk)

I'm Kim Su Hyuk, the public defender for this case.

People say it'll be hard...

to plead not guilty with a public defender.

Is that true?

It's not about whether it's public or private...

but whether you committed the crime or not.

Did you do it?

Well...

Yes, I did it.

The other security guard spoke ill of my son.

I got mad and I pushed him.

But it was never premeditated murder.

I never thought...

of killing him.

Just because I'm defending you,

it doesn't mean your sin disappears.

But I'll do my best in defending you...

so you won't get a longer sentence for what you did.

What are you doing?

The retrial of the Sung Ha's case has been accepted.

That's a relief.

I was worried. That's good to hear.

You hurt me yet you gave me the cure.

Thanks anyway, Kim Su Hyuk.

I came right away after I heard about you.

It's going to be a long battle.

Good luck until the end.

You know I've got guts for that.

By the way,

Jung Sa Bin is opening the old book store today.

What's wrong?

- How is it? - Go to the right a bit.

This is the best I can do. I can't do it anymore.

- We're not yet done. - Then you do it!

Why can't you do it right?

I said it's tilted a little bit...

- so you should straighten it. - Your heart is crooked.

Uncles.

We would've finished sooner if you two weren't fighting.

I told you to be quiet because I was reading a book.

Hey, you!

Are you happy you quit your job and opened this old book store?

- It's too heavy for me. - It's so heavy.

Professor Yoo said you can come back anytime you find your peace.

Jae Yi.

I'm the healthiest now since my birth.

I'll read all the books I want and grow old little by little.

Are you feeling better?

Yes, I feel at peace...

as if all my painful memories have disappeared.

We need to greet our neighbors before we open our book store.

Jae Yi is coming with us.

- Let's do it. - Come on.
