THE KIDNAPPING DAY
ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, EVENTS, GROUPS,
AND SETTINGS ARE FICTITIOUS, AND CHILD SAFETY GUIDELINES WERE FOLLOWED
THIS PROGRAM IS FUNDED BY THE COMMUNICATIONS
DEVELOPMENT FUND OF MINISTRY OF SCIENCE AND ICT
Breaking news.
The suspect in the kidnapping case that occurred in Youngin in May,
Kim Myeong-jun, was arrested by the police earlier today.
After the murder case was concluded,
he took advantage of the lack of interest in the case
and moved into Choi Ro-hee's house,
showing his discreet nature.
Above all else, the public is interested in
whether Choi Ro-hee is alive or not.
Choi Ro-hee, who was known to be murdered,
has been confirmed to be alive.
However, to make sure that she is…
That fund manager, Jaden.
Bring him here right now!
Yes, sir.
I even used my connections for him,
and all he did was take my money and make this mess?
Sir, you have a call from Choi Ro-hee.
KIDNAPPER KIM MYEONG-JUN ARRESTED
Hee-ae.
Hee-ae.
You can stay alone, right?
Mom, are you going somewhere?
To earn money.
I thought you were going to stay with me
while Dad has gone to make money.
I'll…
make more money.
Can't you just stay with me?
What am I to do if both of my parents are gone?
I'm a good girl.
I stayed quietly at Dad's workplace too.
I'm not a picky eater either.
I won't give you a hard time.
Please don't send me back.
You don't have to adopt me. I'll be your servant if I have to.
I'm good at running errands,
carrying heavy things, and doing laundry.
I learned how to cook at the orphanage too!
Hee-ae.
Don't trust anyone.
That way…
you won't get hurt.
So Hee-ae,
Don't trust
a single soul,
including me, okay?
-Mom… -Answer me!
Do you understand?
Yes.
What an interesting situation, Sang-yun.
You haven't changed at all, causing trouble like a lone wolf.
And this time, you were carrying out a mission
while you were still suspended.
How heroic.
Against your superior's orders, right?
I always wondered why you behave the way you do.
And it turns out
you have powerful connections.
Gosh.
Impressive, Sang-yun.
Connections? What do you mean?
Are you playing dumb or what?
You can learn who your connection is out there.
You lucky bastard.
What happened?
I got a call from Ro-hee as soon as Mr. Kim was arrested yesterday.
She said we don't have time, so we need to move fast.
Are you the one who got me released?
Ro-hee did.
-What are they doing? -What's taking so long?
-How long do we have to wait? -It's about time.
Hello, I'm her attorney.
Okay.
You got out fast.
My blood pressure is okay.
Now that you've checked my temperature and Apical Pulse,
can you leave?
We'll get going then.
Thank you.
How did you do it?
It's the power of the man who's my so-called great-uncle.
He's been wielding his power for the bad,
so it's only right he uses it for good at least once.
You saw the reporters outside, right?
Yes.
This is the beginning.
Articles about Mr. Kim will pour out endlessly,
and they'll use provocative words for the headlines.
That means Mr. Kim has no advantage during the trial whatsoever.
That's why
we should give them something to chew on at the right time.
We'll use even more provocative words
to divert the public's attention.
People don't care about the truth anyway.
They just want gossip.
Do you have anything in mind?
Investigation.
You'll have to start it again.
As you saw, the kidnapping case
is no longer within our jurisdiction.
Not that.
I'm talking about the murder case.
Let's end it.
FINAL CHAPTER. THE KIDNAPPING DAY
-They're coming out. -Ms. Choi Ro-hee, are you okay?
Is it true that the kidnapper abused you?
The kidnapper has a record of murder. Has he ever threatened you?
-Answer us! -Right, my laptop.
-Laptop? -Is it inside?
Yes, in the study.
I don't want to leave it in an empty house.
I think I should have it with me.
I'll go get it.
Please.
Gosh.
Did you see the female officer who just left?
Sorry? What's wrong?
No one may enter this place.
An important piece of evidence disappeared.
- Yes, sir. - Ah.
What's wrong?
The laptop disappeared.
I think someone took it.
Isn't it obvious who took it?
No one would've gotten hurt
if you were cooperative like this to begin with.
Just confirm it.
You did your money's worth.
Confirmed, ma'am.
We seal the deal here then.
I hope you don't make a fuss and come find me again.
I'm not a loser.
I prefer Latin America.
You can do anything if you have money.
Well, Korea is also great if you have money.
-Come in. -Hello.
Did you check?
You're right.
The people going in and coming out are different.
Let me talk to the video analyst.
Yes, sir.
Yes, this is he.
The legs of the person leaving are crooked inwards.
This means they are knocked-knees.
But the person going in doesn't have knocked-knees.
If you look at the way that person walks,
the person who's leaving
walks in the way most females do.
Female?
Okay. Thank you.
All right.
Let's add Seo Hye-eun to our list of suspects
and locate her.
When we get a warrant, call the airport
and issue a travel ban on her.
And get a list of all the hotel guests in Seoul.
-Get moving! -Yes, sir.
Wait.
This may not be enough.
We can only speculate that it's a woman.
Pressuring her like this is important,
but we should also make her come to us.
Does your chief…
like being on TV?
Yes, he loves it.
What are you doing at this hour?
Hey, shouldn't she be at the hospital?
And Park Sang-yun.
Aren't you still suspended?
I asked him to come with me.
-He's the most trustworthy police officer. - Gosh.
What?
He knows how to fight against his corrupt superiors.
Isn't that what a trustworthy police officer is?
I set up this meeting because she had something to tell us.
Please sit, sir.
All right.
I heard the gist of the story.
You were close with the kidnapper.
I hope you're not asking me to release him.
I know what to ask and what not to ask.
All right.
Since you know what to ask, ask away.
It's about the murder.
The murder? Park Cheol-won?
There was another person at the scene, including Park Cheol-won.
In the dashcam nearby,
someone left Dr. Choi's house on the 21st.
According to forensics,
it's a woman.
-A woman? -Yes, sir.
You all probably know I was put to sleep on the 20th.
I woke up the next day, left the house, and met the kidnapper.
But my dad never puts me to sleep for two days straight.
That has never happened before.
That means someone put me to sleep
between the 20th and 21st after my dad died.
And I remembered that person's face.
Who is it?
Go arrest her.
But we can't jump the gun here.
We're only assuming that it's a woman according to forensics,
so there's no certainty.
Also, Ro-hee's memories aren't clear due to the anesthesia,
and the culprit could use that to their advantage.
So?
What do you want to do?
Find my laptop and pendant first.
They're solid evidence for this case.
We've got everything in our hands.
I'm flying to Singapore now.
Yes, sir.
I will arrange a conference for your investors as soon as possible.
Okay. I'll keep in mind.
Jaden!
Don't think of driving off, and freeze.
That goes for you two in black suits too.
Don't think of wasting our time and just come with us.
I guess I have to book my ticket again.
Why are you here to see me on such a nice day?
I guess you're all single.
Yes, I'm not interested in dating.
You must have connections. I thought you'd be behind bars.
Well, I'm quite lucky.
You know Mr. Choi, right?
Ro-hee's great-uncle.
Never heard of him.
After the news reported that Ro-hee was dead,
you two met quite often.
That's news to me.
Anyway, why are you here to arrest me?
Is it because you want to tell the world that Ro-hee is a genius
who was artificially made?
No. You were reported for theft.
A child who lost her pendant reported you.
Hey.
I applaud your efforts.
But please get a warrant first before arresting me.
According to Criminal Law, Article 329,
you're arrested without a warrant for theft.
-Please come with us. -Please come with us.
Stay still.
Why can't you guys ever just listen?
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Remember that.
What an interesting situation.
Why did you commit the crime?
I'm sorry.
Were you involved in murdering Dr. Choi and his wife?
No. I'm sorry.
Do you have an accomplice?
This is all my doing.
I'm sorry.
-Did you do it yourself? -Was it intentional?
Please answer us!
Why did you kidnap Choi Ro-hee?
-Answer us! -Please!
-Please! -Please say something!
Kim Myeong-jun, who committed the kidnapping,
denied his involvement in the murder
of Dr. Choi and his wife.
He said that he kidnapped the victim as he was suffering financially.
The police plan to further investigate
how Kim Myeong-jun, who also denied having an accomplice,
was able to evade the police with the child for more than 20 days.
We, the police force, have arrested
the suspect in the Youngin Murder Case.
However,
we have discovered that there was another suspect at the scene.
According to the dashcam footage,
we are suspecting that the culprit is a woman.
Choi Ro-hee, the kidnap victim and the witness of this murder,
is cooperating with us to find the suspect.
Your call cannot be completed. You will be…
SANGNAMJA PRIVATE AGENCY
Mr. Kim!
Mr. Kim!
NEW SUSPECT IN THE MURDER CASE… LIKELY TO BE A FEMALE
YOUNGIN…
YOUNGIN HOSPITAL DIRECTOR AND WIFE MURDER CASE
CHOI RO-HEE'S MEMORIES RETURN… THE SHOCKING TRUTH
WHO IS THE NEW SUSPECT?
WILL CHOI RO-HEE'S MEMORY BECOME THE SMOKING GUN?
CHOI RO-HEE IS STAYING AT HER GRANDPARENT'S HOUSE
She is currently resting
at her late grandparent's house.
Did you find the new suspect based on the child's memory?
Yes.
She explained the events with composure.
Mr. Park Cheol-won, the prime suspect of the…
Inmate 9133.
You have a visitor.
Mr. Kim Myeong-jun.
These are photos from the dashcam footage that was taken on the day of the murder.
The two people who are wearing security company uniforms
are different people.
This is Mr. Park Cheol-won.
And this is…
suspected to be Ms. Seo Hye-eun.
We will arrest Ms. Seo.
That's what Ro-hee wants,
and it's also best for her safety.
Okay.
However,
Ro-hee wishes to be with you.
She said she's scared.
But she thinks she can muster up the courage…
if she's with you.
You're early.
I've never seen you before.
Are you the new attorney from X Capital?
Nice to meet you.
I'm Richard Choi.
I see.
Right.
Here.
Are you from HQ in Singapore?
Or the Korean branch?
From HQ.
Gosh, we apologize for dragging this on
when it shouldn't be this complicated.
We had so many things to take care of.
This case isn't serious enough for HQ to send someone.
Can I leave now?
I heard you've worked hard until now.
Here.
PRIVATE AGENCY WORKER FOUND DEAD IN YOUNGIN RESERVOIR
What game are you playing here?!
Goodness.
Listen.
Don't strain yourself too much. The drug will spread faster.
I guess the company was losing patience.
My brother died…
on the cold floor of a swimming pool.
And his body was even colder when they found him.
You…
They want a new man on the job.
Who ordered you to do this?
I'm not sure.
Right.
What was it?
I…
dislike people who aren't idealistic.
Goodbye, then.
I can hear you.
My house and this place
both look suffocating.
Do you think Seo Hye-eun will show up
to meet you?
That lady believes she's smart.
When she realizes that everything is pointing to her,
she'll come to face me head-on.
And she'll want to know if the cops have hard evidence.
-How was your visit? -Good.
What about Mr. Kim?
I'm sure this is hard on him.
It's not an easy choice to make.
Anyway, any updates on the investigation of Seo Hye-eun?
Our officers are everywhere, including the airport
bus terminals, and docks.
It won't be easy to flee the country.
I guess I'm the only one with a job left to do.
Right.
These are the investigation materials you asked for.
-Thank you. -The laptop and pendant are there too.
Will you carry all that burden?
About Ro-hee's memories…
What if her memories come back,
and they point to Ms. Seo Hye-eun?
What will you do then?
Then…
I'll follow Ro-hee's decision.
I looked into it, and it's a mess.
They're searching all the boats that are leaving.
No matter how much you pay us,
no one can leave in a situation like this.
Lay low for a few days.
I'll let you know when to leave.
Then when…
I'll call you.
RESTRICTED NUMBER
It's me, Choi Ro-hee.
MAP OF YOUNGIN
So this was why…
Dad was planning to take me to Singapore.
Hey.
Thank you for your cooperation.
No need to thank me. It wasn't my decision.
Just keep in mind that we'll have to turn in our badges if this plan fails.
-Got it? -Yes, sir.
Hey, Detective Jang.
If you want to keep your badge, we should all share the burden
and not hog all the work.
You can…
trust our ace detectives here.
Thank you. I know it was a hard decision to make.
Don't worry about it.
This is the only thing I can do for Ro-hee.
Ms. Seo Hye-eun is here.
Stay on your toes.
In any event, we'll ambush her.
Over here.
It's been a while.
How are you feeling?
Not bad, thanks to you.
Are you alone?
You think I'm alone?
Don't you know there are people waiting for you?
Did you call the cops in case I do something to you?
Don't tell me
you thought I called you without any preparation.
How am I supposed to know?
Thank you for coming despite knowing everything.
I thought I'd visit you at prison.
You were sending me signals, so I had to respond.
Of course, I came.
Hello.
We should clear up any misunderstandings
and false information.
That's why you invited me, right?
Impressive, as I thought.
You want some tea?
No, let's make this short.
So?
What do you remember?
You must've been curious.
That's why I came.
The fact that I've regained my memories
means that I remember your presence the moment I left the house.
Yes, I gave him the idea to kidnap you.
I needed money.
Oh, I was thinking of turning myself in.
I couldn't let Myeong-jun carry all that burden.
So I deserve to be punished
for providing information.
- Gosh. - But murder?
Listen.
You barked up the wrong tree, Ms. Choi Ro-hee.
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Kim thought long and hard
about whether to protect you or me.
But…
he gave me this before getting arrested.
I guess Mr. Kim…
chose me instead of you.
You spent so much time with him,
but you still don't know him, do you?
Kim Myeong-jun…
can never abandon
Seo Hye-eun.
He must've given you this since it's meaningless.
So? What did you see in the footage?
My visit to your house?
I hope you don't think
that's enough to frame me as the murderer.
How did it feel watching our house?
You must know my family more than I do.
It looked like you met my dad quite often
and went to his hospital and blackmailed him.
You're the woman from the funeral.
How's the experiment going?
Is your child doing well?
What are you talking about?
How much…
do you think I know?
I'm sure my dad spent quite a bit of hush money
to keep you quiet.
But despite that, you probably still felt that it was unfair.
In fact, I'm sure you felt that it was even more unfair.
It isn't easy
to root out the greed in your heart.
Get out.
I have nothing to give you, so get out!
Oh my.
Are you saying
the world can know what the great Dr. Choi Jin-tae
is doing to his daughter?
Isn't money what you want?
I believe I gave you enough.
"Enough"?
Hey.
Who are you to decide that?
Who are you to decide that
-when you ruined my life? -Get out.
Get out!
I don't have time to waste on you, you lunatic!
-Get out! -Let go!
-You bastard! Who are you to decide that? -Get out!
Since that incident,
a rumor that you and my dad were in an affair started spreading.
To my dad,
you were probably the worst nuisance after my mom.
That's why on the day of the incident, the CCTVs were disabled,
and my dad invited you to our house.
What a great story, Ro-hee.
You're not only clever
but full of imagination.
Is your wife not home?
I don't see your daughter either.
They're out.
-Please come this way. -Okay.
You seem rather serious.
I wonder what you have to offer.
Let's hear what it is that you want.
Please wait. I'll get some tea.
When my dad left the room,
you must've gone for the research materials in his safe.
You knew that it was far more valuable than the money my dad could offer.
But you locked eyes with my dad, who came back faster than expected.
-What are you doing? -And he was probably trying to kill you.
A rumor is spreading that we're having an affair.
What?
You sneaked into my house while I was out
and had a fight with my wife.
And unfortunately, both women lost their lives.
You murderous bastard.
Why?
Are you going to stab me with that?
Have you stabbed anyone before?
Do it.
Anyone who interferes with my research
doesn't deserve to live!
I'm sorry.
Impressive, Choi Ro-hee.
Great job.
What a great story.
You haven't been remembering anything,
but writing novels instead.
Well, it took me a while to go through the materials,
but this isn't enough to become a bestseller.
Why?
Are you curious about what happens next?
No.
I've lost interest.
I anticipated a lot before coming here,
but the story's quite disappointing.
Ro-hee.
Go ahead.
Are you sure
you regained your memories?
You can't just poke around based on your imagination.
Why not?
Is something wrong with my memory?
Meow.
There's no right or wrong.
It's just your imagination.
Keep on writing
so you can write a bestseller.
Not everyone can do that.
I'd need a story like yours.
How dare you talk about my story when you don't even know me?
Choi Dong-eok… No.
My grandpa wanted to adopt Myeong-jun at first.
But you became greedy
and coaxed Mr. Kim and was adopted into this family.
But it probably didn't matter who he adopted,
whether it was you or Mr. Kim.
He just wanted a decent subject.
He decided that you were a suitable candidate,
so you were adopted.
But happiness didn't last long.
Your nightmare began.
You injured your neck due to the scalpel Mr. Park Cheol-won wielded
and was infected with HIV.
Right.
And you were disowned.
ADOPTED, DISOWNED, ADOPTED, DISOWNED
You were adopted again,
but you were disowned due to your stepfather's abuse.
You lived in the orphanage since then and graduated high school.
You were able to graduate,
thanks to Mr. Park Cheol-won's donations.
I mean, what a twist of fate.
What a heartbreaking relationship you guys have.
How ridiculous.
Ms. Seo.
Mr. Park Cheol-won is behind bars for your murder,
and Mr. Kim was taken advantage of by you
and is in jail for kidnapping.
But there's something I'm really curious about.
Mr. Kim caused you no harm whatsoever.
He was just used by you.
So why did it have to be him?
Are you curious?
You said everything yourself.
The experiment that was conducted on me.
The pain and discrimination.
They were all Myeong-jun's crosses to bear.
But I carried it instead,
so Myeong-jun should pay the price too.
So you're pinning the cause of all unhappiness to him?
Mr. Kim is such a fool.
He's positive in every way, unlike you.
He was happy that Hee-ae's surgery went well,
that you aren't sick,
and that I returned home.
But he still has to pay the price
when he did nothing wrong?
He did nothing wrong?
No, not yet.
Then what did I do wrong?
What did I do so wrong
that I got HIV and became an experimental subject?
I lived all my life in pain.
What about you?
You must know.
The world punishes you…
even if you do nothing wrong.
Do you think the both of us committed any wrong?
What did you do so wrong
that you were put to sleep, tested…
Do you…
Do you know how many times I had to shave my head?
He opened up my skull
and performed on my brain.
I couldn't even go to school.
I was stuck in that dark, underground laboratory.
I tried so hard to be loved and get his approval.
I endured on and on.
I know.
I was the same.
I went through that longer than you did.
We're not the same.
You were rewarded for your pain.
A luxurious house, decent parents,
and everyone tells you that you're great, important, and smart.
They put you on a pedestal.
What about me?
What did I get in return?
Nothing.
Absolutely…
nothing.
Why?
All because of you and your dad!
You took everything from me!
You took everything that was mine!
I can't take it!
I can't take it!
What choice do you think I had?
I had to take care of myself.
I had to protect myself.
You still think you and I are the same?
Yes.
Both of our dads were crazy.
Thank you for abandoning Mr. Kim and Hee-ae.
I have a new family, thanks to you.
You're taking something from me again!
You're taking what's mine again!
Choi Ro-hee, listen carefully.
Myeong-jun and Hee-ae are both mine.
Whether I abandon them or keep them,
I'm the one who owns them!
I'd rather kill them both than give them to you!
But isn't it better for Hee-ae
to not have a mom who murders people?
Didn't I tell you your dad is the murderer?
Your dad killed your mom.
Then he tried to kill me
and pin your mom's death on me!
What?
Hee-ae won't need a mom who murders people?
Then you should get on your knees and thank me.
Since I'm the one who killed your mad scientist dad!
I see.
Are you sure?
What?
What?
Arrest her.
I get why my grandpa chose you.
I guess he liked how crazy you are.
It's time for you to get punished.
I thought of two scenarios
on my way here.
Leaving this place safely
and never leaving this place.
What if I never leave this place?
Do I kill you?
Or do I set this place on fire and die together?
Then I thought of a great way to get my revenge!
I wanted someone in your family
to suffer the same pain
that I suffered.
It's time for you to suffer.
Experience the pain that I suffered all my life.
Ms. Seo Hye-eun!
Drop the scalpel.
Stop it. It's over.
Drop the scalpel!
Don't come any closer!
Drop the gun!
Drop the gun! Don't come near me!
Hye-eun!
Mr. Kim, stand back.
Why are you here?
Stand back.
Stop.
Don't do it.
Stop right there.
I can stab you too! Don't come near me!
Myeong-jun, stop.
Don't come near me!
Please.
I said don't come near me!
Hye-eun.
Don't come near me!
Let go.
Let go of me.
Let go!
Why are you here?
Why?!
These were all mine!
Everything was mine!
Get out of my house!
Hye-eun!
Stop it.
Please stop.
Stop and come with me, okay?
Lay all your burdens here,
and let's go.
No one…
ever loved me.
You're going to hate me too, right?
No.
No, Hye-eun.
I've never hated you.
Even now and in the future, I'll never hate you.
That day at church,
you asked me what I prayed for, right?
My family.
Our daughter, Hee-ae…
and Hye-eun.
I pray every single day…
for your health and happiness.
But Hye-eun…
Ro-hee…
is my family now.
I can't watch…
my family get hurt anymore.
Please…
Let's stop.
We will now share
the results of the Youngin Hospital Director and Wife Murder Case
and the kidnapping case of their daughter, Choi Ro-hee.
The suspect in the murder that occurred on May 20th, 2023,
is a woman
who was adopted and then disowned by Dr. Choi Jin-tae's father 30 years ago.
She also planned the kidnapping that happened the day after.
After murdering the director of Hyekwang Hospital on the 20th,
she ordered her ex-husband
to kidnap Choi Ro-hee the next day.
However, guilt overcame the kidnapper, so he turned himself in and was arrested.
We were able to arrest
the murder suspect during the meeting with the kidnapper at the scene.
Why did the culprit commit these crimes?
According to the rumors, they say it's related to Dr. Choi's research.
Is that true?
Well, the motivation behind the crime is…
Dr. Choi Jin-tae's
wealth.
The defendant had the child kidnapped for 20 days.
Even if he didn't cause any harm to the child,
the motivation and reason for the crime are clear.
As such,
the prosecution demands a ten-year sentence
for kidnapping Choi Ro-hee, a minor.
Thank you for your statement.
Are you present, Ms. Choi Ro-hee?
I heard you requested to propose a statement.
Do you think you can step forward?

Is Ms. Choi Ro-hee's witness intermediary present as well?
Yes, Your Honor.
I don't need a witness intermediary who distorts my statements.
All of my statements so far
were modified by them.
I request that you remove those from the reference materials.
Ms. Choi, these are the rules.
We know that you're smart,
but you must abide by the rules of the court.
Then you can be the judge of my statement.
COUNSELOR, DEFENDANT
Sure.
Go ahead.
On May 21st,
I collapsed near my house and experienced short-term memory loss
as the anesthetics hadn't worn off.
Mr. Kim Myeong-jun took me while I was unconscious,
and he took care of…
Are you okay?
Are you scared
to face your kidnapper?
No.
I've never been scared…
of him.
What do I have to do…
to release him?
Your Honor.
The victim is still a minor,
and she spent a lot of time with the defendant,
which is enough time for him to draw emotional sympathy from her.
I'll be the judge of that.
Keep going.
"Emotional sympathy."
He isn't capable of such a thing.
He shudders whenever I speak
and does everything I say.
You have no idea how much he cared about me.
The time that I spent with him…
was special.
No one treated me the way he did before.
Your Honor.
I know it's ridiculous to ask you to release him.
Mr. Kim kidnapped me.
That's a fact.
But what is kidnapping?
If kidnapping is trickery, intimidation,
and limiting my freedom,
then the time I was kidnapped
was the moment I was born until May 23, 2023.
I had the most freedom in my life…
during the time I spent with Mr. Kim.
Are you okay?
She's here.
A promise is a promise.
I read through my dad's research materials.
Every single word.
And? What's this?
You were always curious
if my dad's research succeeded or not.
I think this might help.
No genius is ever happy.
The future that you imagine for Byeol
may not mean anything to her.
Right, Ro-hee.
Here.
What about this?
Mr. Kim Myeong-jun asked me to give this to you.
You should rest. It was a long day.
You'll be busy tomorrow with the hospital director meeting.
Thank you for today, Attorney Choi.
You're welcome.
Gosh.
TO MY FILIAL DAUGHTER, RO-HEE
Feels nice, right?
Yes.
-Come on, try it-- -No!
Don't you dare try to feed me that disgusting thing again!
Are you really my dad?
Why are you taking that?
This saved me too.
I feel at peace when I have this.
Why didn't you file an appeal?
I killed someone.
You saw what I did to Dr. Yoon.
Why did you take it so far?
You sacrificed so much for Ms. Seo Hye-eun.
You even paid for her daughter's hospital bills.
I've always thought…
that money was reserved for times like that.
What do you mean by that?
It was my wife's insurance money.
Don't you regret any of this?
You should set yourself free now.
The burden on your shoulders,
and the shackles…
on your hands and feet.
It's time…
you free yourself from them.
Thank you.
What do I do?
What do I do?
Mr. Park.
Hye-eun.
What do I do?
Get changed and take my car.
I'll take care of this.
Gosh.
Mr. Park.
What's with the girl?
She saw me while I was cleaning up.
Come this way.
Hye-eun.
Hye-eun.
Stop.
It'll complicate things if she wakes up in the middle.
Don't wake up.
If you wake up…
I'll have no choice but to kill you.
Why are you here again?!
Sit down.
-Hello. -Hello.
You come so often.
Gosh.
You still look so shabby.
What do you mean?
Wear this.
A headband?
Oh my, this is nice.
You look better now.
I should've worn this earlier. Wow.
It's about Hee-ae.
I'm planning to transfer her to an international school
when she gets discharged.
The process is a bit complicated,
but I think there'll be a way if I look into it.
Does she want to go?
Who is she to decide that?
The person paying for it does.
She needs to want to do it.
Nothing good comes from spoiling kids like that.
You can't live all your life only doing what you want.
Am I wrong?
You need to do what you dislike to make money and live a good life.
Gosh, I can't win an argument with you, can I?
Can kids come in like this when I'm meeting my attorney?
-It's not allowed. -Why not?
I said you should take responsibility for your actions, right?
Why are you complaining about my visits when you do nothing in there?
We promised to play soccer.
I play an important position.
What is this, the World Cup?
Yes, it is!
Jeez.
All right, let's say Hee-ae's going to an international school.
What about you?
Me? What about me?
Are you not going to school?
Why would I?
The school would hate to have me as a student.
Hey, you need to go to school to learn.
What more could I possibly learn?
Your worst subject!
Social skills.
Social skills? What about my social skills?
-Do you agree with him? -Yes.
-Let's go to school. -Absolutely not.
-Please. -Forget it.
Fine, I'm going to go train for my game.
Mr. Kim.
What?
I'm sorry.
And thank you.
Gosh, you have so many things to thank me for.
-Darn you! -Hey!
Hey!
That's not made of bamboo! It hurts!
That's why I hit you!
Let me hit you with that too then.
-Come here. -Wait.
-Give it! -Hold on.
-Goodness. -Give it to me!
-Give it! -I got it.
-Seriously! -Give this to me.
Can't I sue her for this? Seriously.
-I promise I won't hit him. -Okay.
- Woah! - Hey!
All right.
Why are you smiling like that?
This kind of suits you.
Stop staring at me. It's embarrassing.
Let's go. I hate not being on time.
Okay.
Ro-hee, do you want this hairpin?
Can you not?
I think it'll suit you.
It doesn't, so stop it.
Ro-hee, please.
You sound like your dad whenever you're like this.
We have a new student.
This is her first time in school, so you guys will help her, right?
-Yes! -Yes!
Ro-hee, why don't you introduce yourself?
My name is Choi Ro-hee.
I live in Youngin-dong 23.
I'm not telling you this for you to come visit.
According to my attorney, I have about 100 billion won.
Of course, that's including my real estate,
shares, bonds, and savings.
I own the Hyekwang Hospital building,
but the bank owns half of…
Hey, you need to go to school to learn.
Your worst subject!
Social skills.
Hello.
I'm Choi Ro-hee, and I'm 12 years old.
I lack social skills.
I hope you guys can help me.
I look forward to hanging out with you.
