I'M GOING TO BED FIRST TAKE YOUR MEDICATION
Hee-seong.
Mom.
Why are you home?
What are you doing?
It wasn't my fault.
He suddenly jumped in front of my car.
And Dad wouldn't pick up his phone.
So?
You're
going to bury him…
here?
Then what should I do?
What?
Mom.
Did you go through my room?
Let's talk later.
Go inside first. It's pouring.
Hee-seong, I'm scared.
I'm terrified.
I can't handle this.
You shouldn't
have been home.
Everyone has a secret.
And
there are also those who know about others' secrets…
and those who want to know about them.
One.
Two.
Do I need to count you too?
Ma'am.
Can you really not read lips?
If you keep looking away while I'm talking,
it's going to upset me.
Have you ever told anyone else
about our family?
I've never told anyone. There's no one to tell anyway.
Can I trust you?
It was in Hee-seong car.
INCOMING CALL
Hello?
Have you gone insane? Where's the money?
Who is this?
You're not Baek Hee-seong.
Hee-seong can't answer the phone right now.
I'm his father. Who is this?
Your son owes me some money.
And
I met him once to give him the money.
What was the money for?
Hee-seong hired him to find someone.
Don't tell me it's Do Hae-su.
Perhaps.
And does that man, Yeom Sang-cheol, know about Hee-seong's condition?
No.
I told him he was studying abroad.
So?
Did you tell him to get rid of Hyeon-su?
Have you gone insane?
That bastard
Hyeon-su has been poking around.
He'll bring us all down if we do nothing. What do you want me to do?
Still, how could you?
There is no middle ground.
Either he lives or we do.
It's one or the other.
WHERE THE RISING STAR STAYS
Are you alone?
Why?
Do you think you can take me down if I'm alone?
What?
I'll be escorting the famous Do Hyeon-su.
Maybe I should've brought the special forces with me.
Jae-seop.
Give me a cup of coffee, will you?
Mr. Do Hyeon-su, our informant.
First of all, I'd like to say thank you
for tipping us off.
I know it wasn't easy.
Thanks to you, we brought down Yeom Sang-cheol and his entire gang.
Did he give you the information on Do Min-seok's accomplice?
No.
Yeom Sang-cheol found out that I was bugging him, so things went awry.
You'll have to question him yourself.
Now, I'll ask the wanted criminal Do Hyeon-su
a question as a detective.
Do Hyeon-su.
Why did you kill Kwon Seong-bok, the Gagyeong-ri village head,
in 2002?
Are you sure?
Are you sure Detective Cha found out about everything?
Detective Cha.
He's left.
Sorry?
Do Hyeon-su has left.
DETECTIVE CHA JI-WON
What are you going to say to her?
- Give that back. - No.
Where are you going?
- What are you planning to do? - I'm going to turn myself in.
You must've had a motive for your murder.
What was it?
- There wasn't-- - He didn't do it.
What?
You didn't get your story straight?
I had no motive.
On August 30, 2002, at 7:00 a.m.,
Kwon Seong-bok, Gagyeong-ri's village head,
was found in his own farming storage.
He was fatally wounded when his carotid was sliced by a weapon.
Then he bled to death. And there were signs of struggle.
A button from Sesin High School's male uniform was found around him.
Move. I said, move.
Let's think about this first. Okay, Hae-su?
I'm just trying to pay for what I did, so who are you to stop me?
This is between Hyeon-su and his wife.
Doing this won't solve anything.
If you're doing this
because you feel guilty about killing that man,
then I won't stop you.
Guilty?
Why would I be?
You have no idea what he did to Hyeon-su.
Come here! I said, come here!
- Move! - Stop!
Come here!
He forced Hyeon-su to receive an exorcism every three days.
He claimed that our father's evil spirit possessed my brother.
He gathered all the furious neighbors.
Then he encouraged them to vent at him.
Hyeon-su was only 18!
In the end,
Hyeon-su himself believed that he was possessed by an evil spirit.
Hyeon-su, what's wrong?
Hyeon-su.
- Hae-su. - Yes?
I can see our father.
What?
He's standing over there and talking to me.
Hyeon-su.
You're wrong. There's no one there.
The village head was right.
I'm going to turn out like my father.
Moo-jin.
You were just like the others.
You were no different.
You turned your back on him just like the others.
Everyone in the village that Do Min-seok had destroyed
did Hyeon-su wrong. Everyone.
You're right.
You are.
Everyone turned into monsters,
except for Hyeon-su.
Do Hyeon-su, the key suspect,
fled on the night of the murder.
He set his house on fire to get rid of all traces of himself
including fingerprints and photos
when he was only 18.
But
why did he leave the murder weapon near a brook where it was easy to find?
On top of that, he left it inside his backpack with his textbook
that had his name on it.
As if he wanted everyone to know.
I also found something interesting in the witness statements.
Everyone said he was capable of committing the murder.
But one person
said otherwise.
And it was…
I killed him.
I…
killed him.
Thank you for the coffee,
Mr. Baek Hee-seong.
This is for the coffee.
Jae-seop!
You're just leaving like this?
Why? Are you going to feed me breakfast?
What does this mean?
Why are you leaving
without arresting him?
I'm not a fool.
You keep insisting that he's innocent, yet you let him say he's guilty.
I think I know why.
This is a tragedy about a brother and sister who were shunned
by the entire world overnight.
Like you, I don't want to meddle in it either.
That's all.
Bye.
What will happen to us?
I can't figure out what his intentions are or what he's scheming.
I had no clue.
You're wrong.
Then?
He is…
no longer interested in Do Hyeon-su.
Why not?
Because…
Do Hyeon-su isn't a bad person.
Dad!
Dad.
I've really, really, really missed you.
Is this a reunion between North and South Korea?
Is something going on?
No, not at all.
Goodness, I've never seen him cry like that.
- Hi, Eun-ha. - Hello.
- Hello.
Eun-ha.
Listen to your teacher and have a great day.
You better not cry again because you miss me, okay?
You're an adult.
Okay.
Let's go inside.
- Eun-ha. - Yes?
I…
love you
so much.
Me too. Dad, I love you.
I gave this some thought.
Resigning right now would only burden our team.
Once the team finds a replacement for me, I'll resign then.
I know it'll be really tough for you,
but please understand.
There are three important factors.
Number one. Your life depends on this.
Take your time and think it through.
Number two. Think harder.
And number three,
we have so much work piled up, so hurry over and work your ass off.
What was going through your mind in front of the supermarket earlier?
I thought about the day
I first embraced Eun-ha after she was born.
I remember that day too.
You were so nervous since it was your first time holding a baby.
Since you entered my life,
every single moment has been a first for me.
GANGSU POLICE STATION
- Will you be okay? - Of course.
See you later.
Good morning.
"Good morning"?
Are you serious?
Are you teasing me right now?
Sir, she hasn't been informed of the situation yet.
Her kid fell ill yesterday,
so I told her to go home right after the raid.
Yeom Sang-cheol fled from the ER while he was being taken to the station.
What?
What are you doing? Sit down.
Good work.
We're almost done. Hang in there.
- Yes, sir. - Is your kid all right?
Which one is it? The oldest or youngest?
Stop acting like you know, sir.
She has one child.
I knew. I did know that.
- How old was your son again? - It's a daughter.
All right, let's have one each.
It was intense yesterday, so let's take care of our health today.
Have one each. Here.
Can't you just give us two each?
Gosh, you're so stingy.
Right, you should have two. You look much older than the rest.
Jeez.
- Where were we again? - The dedicated team.
The dedicated team will carry out a comprehensive investigation
on human trafficking.
We'll only focus on apprehending Yeom and Do Min-seok's accomplice.
Arresting Yeom is more urgent.
He always carries around this burner phone.
His men testified that he trafficked his victims only through that phone.
BAEK HEE-SEONG
Hello?
I'm in front of your station.
I'd like to talk to you without Ji-won's knowing.
GANGSU POLICE STATION
Think carefully.
Who did you tell your secret?
Who do you think sold you out to me?
Who would that be?
If you came here to say thank you, forget it.
I lied to you back there.
I didn't want Ji-won to know.
Lied about what?
I lied about how things went awry after Yeom Sang-cheol found out
that I was bugging him.
He got a call in the middle of our deal.
Someone tipped him off
that I was working with the police.
"Someone"?
That person had been waiting for me to meet with Yeom.
They wanted me dead.
So who's that person?
Let's move first.
The shocking truth about the Yeonju Serial Murder Case has been revealed.
During the raid on a human trafficking ring last night,
the police arrested five gang members.
Since 2002, the ring has been hunting for victims through their employment agency.
The victims have been trafficked throughout the country
for prostitution and forced labor.
Also, it's alleged that the serial killer Do Min-seok was also their client.
This news has shocked everyone.
Meanwhile, Yeom Sang-cheol, the leader, fled while he was escorted by the police.
This is a photo of Yeom Sang-cheol who is wanted.
WANTED
Mom.
The world has changed a lot.
You need to exercise.
I missed three World Cups.
That's…
not important.
I even went all the way to Gwanghwamun to cheer once.
You should come with me next time.
I'll take you.
Okay.
If I'm still alive, that is.
Dad failed.
It's only a matter of time…
before Do Hyeon-su finds out.
I'll try to visit Hyeon-su,
so don't worry too much, okay?
And quit talking about turning yourself in.
I get a mini heart attack every time you say that.
I put you on the spot back there.
I apologize.
No, you didn't. It's just that
I like you.
I want you to care about me
about an eighth of how much you care about Hyeon-su.
There's a taxi.
Don't skip your meals. Call me if you don't want to eat alone.
Okay.
Text me when you get home. I'm going to buy a phone right now.
Let me go home. Close the door.
Okay.
Sir, please go to Cheonil-dong. Please drop her off safely.
Sir, don't go to Cheonil-dong.
Please go to Gangsu Police Station.
So you think Yeom is up to something other than fleeing?
The person who put him up to killing me promised to pay him.
It seems like you have an idea who that person might be.
Among those who knew that I was dealing with Yeom,
there's one person who wants me dead
and is rich enough to convince Yeom with money.
I'll give you ten times this money.
Leave without anyone knowing.
There's only one person.
But then again, this is only a guess. I need to confirm it.
Confirm?
If I'm right,
we'll be able to catch Yeom as soon as I confirm this.
I'm going to offer them myself the golden opportunity
to kill me.
Of course,
I can't pull off this plan without your help.
REPORTER KIM
- Hey, Moo-jin. - I bought a phone.
You're the first person I called with this.
I just wanted you to know that.
- Thank you. - Moo-jin.
Yes?
You're the only friend Hyeon-su has.
What are you talking about?
I came to see Detective Cha. I'm going to turn myself in.
What?
- I'm sorry. - Hae-su. Do Hae-su!
This is Na Jin-hui, Yeom's girlfriend.
Isn't she our best bet?
- Shouldn't we start a stakeout? - Their relationship is out in the open.
It wouldn't be effective to post all of our men there.
Where is Detective Choi?
He went to the Jaerim Control Center.
Detective Cha, she was looking for you.
I'm here to keep my promise
to tell you everything when the time is right.
- I am-- - Ms. Do Hae-su.
It slipped my mind.
"Ms. Do Hae-su"?
I think she's Do Hyeon-su's older sister.
I had some questions,
so I asked her to stop by when she had time.
Ho-jun, where is it?
Where's what?
The list of Yeom's victims.
Here you go.
Will you come outside with me?
I…
heard…
that you found out everything about Hyeon-su.
Hyeon-su…
He had to live as Baek Hee-seong
because of me.
The one responsible for the Gagyeong-ri village head's death…
is me.
He took the blame for me.
He's not a dangerous person like you believe him to be.
Ms. Do.
Do Hyeon-su…
is no longer a boy you have to take care of.
He's the father of my child.
He's my family.
He's my husband.
Now,
he has a wife who will stay by his side…
no matter what.
He said you were kindhearted.
Whenever something bad happened,
he said he was always the first one to be suspected.
Then you'd go around trying to clear his name.
He said he didn't care much,
but you would get upset, cry and scream.
Since you were kindhearted,
he said you wouldn't have been able to endure all the hate
and that was why he did it.
Because it didn't affect him.
Turning yourself in may take his name off the wanted criminal list.
But I know that he'll feel indebted to you forever.
And I don't want that.
So
just accept his decision.
And…
you should live feeling indebted to him instead.
I'm just awful, aren't I?
Officially, this is what happened today.
I wondered if Do Min-seok was guilty of more crimes.
So I asked you in to see if you recognized
any of Yeom's victims.
And you said
you couldn't recognize anyone.
Okay, then.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
For seeing him for who he truly is.
I will repay you at all costs.
I promise to repay you
before I die.
Ji-won…
is probably barely hanging on…
and carrying all the burden I've put on her shoulders.
I'm scared…
that one day everything will…
just fall apart
all at once.
So I'm asking you again.
- About us meeting today-- - I get it.
How many times do I have to tell you?
Please.
How could I nonchalantly tell her that someone's trying
to kill her husband?
Thank you.
Once we're done with this task,
I'll tell her myself.
Anyway, are you really not going to tell me
who wants you dead?
I still need
to be careful for now.
ILSIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DIRECTOR
What? You want money?
I'll be doing you a favor in return.
I will get rid of Do Hyeon-su.
I will kill him at all costs, and you have my word!
You failed to do so on your own turf.
And yet, you believe you can kill him while running away as a fugitive?
That's why…
you should just lure him somewhere perfect to kill him.
Lie low for the time being. Don't make any rash moves.
HEE-SEONG
Hey, Hyeon-su.
How did it go yesterday?
You don't have to worry. I'm fine.
Okay. That's a relief. It really is.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
I should tell you about everything that went down.
Okay, that sounds good.
I'll go over to your house by 8:00 p.m. It'd be nice to see Mother too.
All right.
Hey, Hyeon-su.
Why haven't you been answering my calls?
I've been busy.
Hae-su went to see your wife.
She went there right now to turn herself in.
You should call her. She'll listen to you, right?
Leave.
What?
Leave. You're distracting me.
It's your sister I'm talking about. Are you going to just sit still and watch?
Go see her.
She'll be fine. Nothing probably happened.
You really don't care about me, do you?
You never thought about how I'd feel, did you?
I don't know why you think you can interrogate me like this.
Why are you looking at me like that?
We liked each other for a bit when we were young.
Aren't you the weird one for still feeling the same way after 20 years?
What are you doing?
Isn't this…
Why do you have this?
Next time,
throw it somewhere I can't find.
I'm sorry
that I've been feeling the same way ever since I first saw you
in fourth grade.
I'll try not to like you.
Having trouble sleeping?
I'm sorry.
I must've woken you up.
Why are you out here instead of sleeping?
Just because.
Just…
seeing myself lying in bed with you
felt so strange.
So I couldn't sleep.
I was meaning to ask you something,
but I couldn't bring myself to.
What is it?
How was…
your day?
It was…
quite all right.
To our house?
Do Hyeon-su is coming here?
He's going to tell me about everything that has happened.
But why is he coming here?
He doesn't
like to be seen in public.
It's nothing unusual.
So Hee-seong,
be careful tonight.
He mustn't know that you've regained consciousness.
Then what about Do Hae-su?
That's something I can take care of.
Yeom Sang-cheol is the issue.
He should neither get apprehended
nor be allowed to do as he pleases.
But we need him in order to get rid of Hyeon-su.
Don't do anything.
I'll take care of it.
More importantly…
They're materials on overseas language training.
Take your time and read them.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING IN BRITAIN
What is it?
Dad.
Ears that can hear are important,
but eyes that can see are just as important.
What do you mean?
It's nothing.
I don't know anything.
Mr. Yeom is the only one who manages the client list.
I really don't know.
I understand.
But if he doesn't get caught, it'll only work against you.
Frankly speaking, we're not interested in you.
We just need to connect Yeom Sang-cheol to the Yeonju case.
Are there any places where he could be hiding?
Perhaps, somewhere we don't know.
He received a call
while making a deal with Do Hyeon-su.
And the caller wanted Do Hyeon-su dead.
In return, they offered to pay him.
Calm down.
Let's talk somewhere quiet.
Someone wants my husband dead,
so how do you expect me to calm down?
I know. I already knew.
You already knew?
Let's go somewhere else first.
How could you not tell me about something this important?
Your husband made me promise not to tell you.
He said you wouldn't be able to handle it.
He was scared you'd break down because of him.
Come on in.
A medical volunteer team?
He was wearing a bracelet for Ilsin University Hospital's team.
So I asked Director Baek for documents on the volunteer team during that time.
I thought looking at some photos could help me remember better.
When you met with Director Baek,
did you feel anything strange?
Well… I already saw his photo online before we met.
I'm sure he looked much younger
and slimmer about 20 years ago than now.
Do they look alike?
I'm not sure. My memory is foggy.
I'll try hypnotherapy again tomorrow.
There's no use.
Your memory is probably already tainted
because I pegged him as the culprit.
I wasn't
of much help, was I?
It's okay.
I was going
to confirm it myself today.
Confirm it?
How?
Shouldn't we ask Do Hyeon-su for help again?
There's a chance we may succeed, so we should at least try it out.
Let's end the meeting here. Good work, everyone.
Hey.
It's raining. Should I go pick you up?
You were an angel.
And I tainted you.
I have something to tell you.
I'd like to quit.
Thank you for treating me so kindly all these years.
I'd appreciate it if you could wire my severance pay
and the NDA fee by the end of next week.
- Please stay healthy. - "NDA fee"?
I know more
than you think I do.
Hi.
Hold on.
- Let's go for a walk. - Let's go on a date.
We read each other's mind.
Let's go.
That was also a lie.
My favorite movie.
- Life Is Beautiful? - Yes.
I just wanted to impress you.
I also lied about not being able to eat raw foods.
You said it was because you once had
an upset stomach after eating raw fish.
Actually,
it's because my father used to smell like that when I was young.
And…
Enough with your confessions.
Let's talk about something else.
Let's talk about ordinary things.
Such as?
Things like this.
Are you okay?
Yes, I am.
Are you really…
okay?
I am.
I'm fine, so why do you keep asking?
To be honest, I'm not okay at all.
I'm terrified that something might happen again.
I feel so sorry for my colleagues because I'm lying to them.
And I wanted to blame your sister for what she did,
but I didn't because I knew it was wrong.
Why do you have to live in hiding forever?
It's so unfair.
Do you know what the saddest part is?
That you kept another secret from me.
What
do you know?
What is it that you know?
You stabbed your own son.
And in order to cover it up, you made someone else live as him.
It was the man your son hit with his car.
Sun-yeong.
- Don't do this. - Goodbye.
Sun-yeong, I thought we were family.
I considered you as one.
No. You're not going anywhere.
We got along so well.
I even hired a divorce attorney for you.
You said you were eternally grateful.
So how could you do this?
How could you?
Mom.
What did you just do?
You're all crazy.
If you don't pay me, I will expose everything.
You have until next week.
I knew you weren't reliable…
Ms. Park Sun-yeong.
MY HUSBAND
Honey. Please come home right now.
I really don't know what to do.
Dad.
Mom cut her forehead.
She should get it stitched up right now.
Okay.
I couldn't think of any other way to protect you.
Why?
Why did you do it?
Why?
Because she knew too much.
What were you thinking?
What are you going to do now?
You promised me.
You said you'd do as I said if you could be Baek Hee-seong again.
Do you
really want all of us dead?
Is that it?
You said you wanted to live right for once.
You said you wanted to live an ordinary life!
Let's take care of this.
Are you all right?
She threatened us first.
She had something on us and was going to tie us down forever.
She stabbed me in the back first.
If it wasn't for Hee-seong, I could've…
Really… At that moment,
I despised her so much that I wanted to kill her.
I will
fix Hee-seong.
I promise
to fix him.
But first…
let's cover this up.
How could we
possibly cover this up?
I have…
an idea.
Yes, Hee-seong.
I'm sorry,
but I don't think I can make it tonight.
An urgent business trip came up.
Really?
That can't be helped, then. We'll have dinner next time.
I have a favor to ask.
What is it?
I'm going to Gapyeong and will be spending the night there.
I was wondering if I could stay at your vacation home.
Sure.
Of course, you can. It's our family's.
What time will you arrive there?
I'll tell the keeper to get the place ready.
I think it'll be around 10:00 p.m.
All right. 10:00 p.m.
I got it.
This is your chance.
You must succeed.
At 10:00 p.m. today.
351 Gyeongjinsan-gil, Gapyeong.
That's my vacation home.
BAEK HEE-SEONG
It'll be at 10:00 p.m. today.
351 Gyeongjinsan-gil, Gapyeong.
It's Baek Man-u's vacation home.
This is what I'm planning to do.
Are you saying that Father…
I mean, Director Baek is trying to kill you?
I'm sure of it.
So if Yeom Sang-cheol receives this information from him,
then he will definitely show up tonight, right?
Detective Choi and the local police will stake out the vacation home.
If they catch Yeom there,
we'll be able to confirm Director Baek is behind it.
I'm going to go to his house in Hanjeong-dong and pressure him…
so that he'll confess…
everything himself.
Ji-won.
If the police arrest Director Baek…
my true identity will
be revealed to the world.
I've been prepared for this. I'm not afraid.
I'll get going now.
Honey.
You didn't forget that I'm a detective, did you?
I have the right to arrest people on the spot.
It's Do Hyeon-su.
He's here.
So what and how much do you know?
Then what and how much are you hiding?
If this is the game Do Hyeon-su is playing, we should get him a gift too.
How did you find out about my family? Who are you?
- Why would you meet Yeom Sang-cheol? - He has to kill me to get paid.
So he won't ignore my call.
So are you saying the culprit doesn't have an ID card? How do we interpret this?
If he did this right after Yeom Sang-cheol fled, it means he wants to provoke us.
It wasn't me. It wasn't me.
