Sung Jun. How's Sung Hoon?
He's still in surgery.
What's going on?
Who did this? Why?
Well...
Are you Ryu Sung Hoon's guardians?
Yes, I'm his mother.
How's my son doing?
The weapon hit his organs and went into his bones.
He's out of the woods for now,
but I can't guarantee that he'll regain consciousness.
Honey.
Let's keep an eye on him for now.
(Episode 12: Another Person's Life)
Sung Hoon. Look at me!
Yoon Jae!
Yoon Jae, no!
Eun Ki.
- What happened? - He was attacked by the culprit.
Why was he attacked?
I think he figured out who the culprit was.
I had no idea, and I suspected him.
Once I started suspecting him, I couldn't stop.
Why would you suspect him? Did something happen?
He was going after the culprit on his own.
I guess I suspected him for no reason.
- How's Judge Ryu doing? - Nothing has changed.
Darn it.
Gosh.
This is the culprit caught on a wildlife observation camera.
- Are you sure this is the culprit? - Yes, sir.
He looks like the person I saw...
at Hope Welfare Center on the day An Tae Ho died.
Was he caught on any other CCTV cameras?
This is the only camera that he was caught on.
He figured out the locations of all the CCTV cameras in the park...
and moved meticulously to avoid them.
The culprit probably didn't know there was a camera here.
Did you find the weapon?
No. We didn't find anything at the scene of the crime.
We found...
a part of the weapon the culprit used in Judge Ryu's body,
so we sent it to Forensics to analyze it.
And the only witness is currently unconscious.
Who on earth is this?
Out of the five people who escaped Hope Welfare Center,
who hasn't been identified yet?
- Number 12 and Number 24. - What?
An Tae Ho said that Number 24 was dead.
We have to find the body.
We can't believe anything before then.
We can't find it.
How would we know where he was buried?
Dong Hwa! My brother was stabbed!
Plus, when did we go after something knowing we'd find it?
We look for it because we have to find it!
We have to find it no matter what!
I'm sorry.
I'm going to meet Mr. Baek.
I'll find Number 12 and Number 24.
Mr. Baek isn't here.
Let me go!
Hey! Let me go!
Hey! Listen you punks!
Let me go!
Hey, you idiots!
Let me go!
I'm going to kill all of you!
Hey!
Come on, you punks!
I'm going to kill all of you!
Let go!
What is this? What are you doing?
Did he arrive? How is he doing?
Okay.
What are you doing?
How dare you come in here without my permission?
Why did you send Mr. Baek to a mental hospital?
Where else would a lunatic go besides a mental hospital?
Chief Yeom, do you really think I don't know anything?
Hope Welfare Center.
Wasn't it in your jurisdiction at the time?
What did you do to the children who were there?
Where did you send them?
If you're that curious,
go and ask your mother, Minister Na Guk Hee.
- Hold on. - You can't do this.
- Ma'am. - Minister.
- Let go. - Ma'am.
- It's been resolved. - Let go of me.
- Ma'am, please go home. - Minister.
Don't do this.
Minister.
Please help me.
Ma'am. What's the matter?
My son used to be at Hope Welfare Center.
He hasn't been the same ever since.
Where did you say?
Hope Welfare Center.
Oh, right. Goodness.
But why did your son end up at a welfare center?
That is...
Everyone has something that's hard to talk about.
I understand what you mean.
I will look closely into the place that you mentioned.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
(Ministry of Health and Welfare)
How long has that woman been there?
It's been a while.
Did the reporters see her?
Yes, I think so. But they didn't seem very interested.
Okay.
Send her away.
And make sure she doesn't come back.
Yes, ma'am.
Don't keep standing out here and just go home.
- No. Why are you doing this? - I mean, standing out here...
- won't solve anything. - Don't do this.
- Go home, and I'll contact you. - Why are you doing this?
If you go home, I'll contact you.
- You'll contact me? - Yes.
- I'll be sure to do so. - Really?
- You really will, right? - Yes.
Get home safe. I'll let you know.
(Hope Welfare Center, Reveal the truth, Compensate the victims)
Excuse me, ma'am.
Was your son at Hope Welfare Center?
- Who are you? - Oh, I'm...
Would it be possible for me to meet your son?
I had a hard time financially,
so I sent my son away for a while.
But they said the welfare center was being shut down.
When I hurried over to get him back,
he was in this state.
When I tell people that he didn't use to be like this,
nobody believes me.
I'll try speaking to your son.
What is your son's name?
He goes berserk if you call his name.
Just call him Number 45.
Number 45?
(Ryu Sung Jun, Muyeong Police Station)
I'm a detective.
You know what a detective is, right?
Someone who catches bad guys.
Number 45?
My brother...
was also at Hope Welfare Center.
Number 11. Do you know him?
What about Number 12?
What about Number 24?
Do you know Number 24?
What is Number 24's name?
I won't do it!
Don't hit me!
I'm sorry. I won't do it!
- No! - It's okay. You don't have to.
It's okay. Stop.
It's okay...
Then how about I meet him?
You?
I counseled kids with abuse traumas...
at the children's center.
You said the victim had a developmental disability, right?
Yes.
His intelligence is around the age of seven.
If he sees a man or if someone calls him by name,
he goes into a convulsive panic.
Then if the victim's family agrees to it,
I'll try meeting with him.
But will you be okay?
You should get some rest.
No.
I think it would be better to do something.
Nothing changes just because I sit around and do nothing.
I'll go to the center and get some tools for counseling.
Should I come with you?
No, it's fine. I'll be back.
Hi, In Seong.
- Here. - Thank you.
You seem like such a good person.
If you don't get any rest because you're looking after others,
then who looks after you?
I'm not as good a person as you think I am.
I'm so self-centered.
How did we end up getting swept up in this mess?
What do you think is the reason?
My mom worked as a nurse at Hope Welfare Center.
I only found out recently.
What about you?
I'm not sure.
I don't even know who my birth parents are.
Didn't you hear from Detective Ryu?
I thought you already knew since you two were close.
No, I didn't know.
Have you looked for your birth parents?
No, I didn't look for them.
I didn't want to burden them.
It must've been hard for them to give up their child.
I get it.
There are some family members that I'd rather not see.
But your parents might be looking for you.
They might have lost you, not given you up.
If they had the will to find me, wouldn't they have already done so?
It's not like this country is as big as the US.
Lots of things don't go according to one's will.
Do what your heart tells you to.
Finding your family is a really important decision.
(Apartment Complex 3)
There are lots of numbers.
What are all of these?
Should I stop talking?
Drink this.
(Closed on the 2nd and 4th Sunday)
(Please help find In Seong)
What are you doing there?
(Please help find In Seong)
I came to eat, not knowing you were closed.
Sorry.
Stay and eat.
It's fine, come in.
It's okay.
Come and eat.
Come on inside.
You must be hungry. Eat up.
What is it?
Is the food too shabby? Do you want something else?
No. I'll enjoy the food, thanks.
So...
That boy in the photo. Is he your son?
(Please help find In Seong)
Yes. That's my son.
He still looks like that when he comes to me in my dreams.
It has been 20 years, and I don't know how he'd look now.
Do you miss him?
Of course, I do.
My son's face.
I wish...
I could see it just once. I'd wish for nothing more.
Why would you ask about that?
Twenty years ago,
I lost my mother.
I don't remember anything else,
but I remember what she looked like.
She wore a gray coat,
beige pants,
and white trainers.
And...
she bought me vanilla ice cream, my favorite.
How do you...
know that?
(Please help find In Seong)
The boy in that photo...
is me.
I'm...
your son In Seong.
Mom.
In Seong.
Are you my son In Seong?
Thank you...
Are you In Seong?
Are you my son?
My goodness...
My son is back.
(Please help find In Seong)
My goodness...
This is what Jin Gu drew all day long.
They're all numbers.
I think they're the numbers of the kids from the welfare center.
Jin Gu's still stuck in the fear and anxiety...
from 20 years ago with the other kids.
It'll take a long time.
He might never talk.
It would help me get through to him...
if I knew exactly what happened.
I have something...
to show you.
The place was a huge prison.
Every day, morning to night,
we were put to work at an incineration plant.
Whether you were young or sick,
there was no exception.
All we got to eat...
was doenjang broth with rotten vegetables...
and a ball of rice.
We were always hungry.
Kids who died of an illness or a beating...
disappeared before anyone knew.
The lucky ones got buried in the mountain.
The unlucky ones...
got donated to the university to be dissected, we were told.
Jung In Seong is your son?
Yes.
I found him again, thanks to you.
My gosh. Congratulations, ma'am.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
I still don't believe it.
Are you sure? Did you compare your DNA?
Why would I even bother doing that?
Would a mom not recognize her son?
You'd better all come to the party.
Okay?
I'll feed you enough...
so that your bellies explode and for free, okay?
- Yes. - Ma'am.
This is a police station, and what you said was recorded.
We'll starve ourselves for a week before the party.
I wish you'd work on the cases this enthusiastically.
Sorry. I'm so happy I'm out of my mind.
- Get back to work. - Okay.
- Bye. - Take care.
See you.
Gosh. What a coincidence.
Chief.
Ma'am. Did you deliver some food?
Thank you. I found my In Seong.
You found your son?
Yes. Thank you, sir.
You tried so hard to find him for me.
I'll make it up to you forever.
Thank you.
Let's not do this here. Come to my office.
- It's this way. - Okay.
Have some tea.
You never know what'll happen, do you?
He was missing for 20 years, and now he's back.
I know.
If I'd known he was nearby, we could've met sooner.
Yes.
Where was your son until now?
He doesn't remember.
He was in a car crash in the US,
and he lost most memories of his childhood.
Did he?
It's for the better, then.
Isn't it?
Don't say anything pointless and just bury it.
Some truths are better off...
kept a secret.
[VIU Ver] tvN E12 'Blind' "Another Person's Life" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
How pretty!
I'm going to blow bubbles.
Do you want to blow bubbles too?
Do you want to try it too?
How pretty!
Here you go.
That looks like fun.
You're blowing bubbles.
Go ahead.
That's right. Like that.
How pretty!
It's so pretty.
You too.
We blew bubbles,
and we sang songs while hitting a tambourine.
We even baked cookies and ate them.
I saw him enjoy himself like a little boy.
and it made me so sad.
I thought,
"He lost his childhood entirely in that place."
Just like you.
When you wake up, let's look for it together.
Your lost childhood.
(Sosoo)
(We are booked for the day and won't take customers.)
(Please come back another time.)
- Hug! - Hug!
- In Seong, what are you doing? - Hug.
- Hurry up and give her a hug! - Hug!
This is so nice!
- Love shot! - Love shot!
- Love shot. Drink up! - Love shot!
Goodness.
Sung Jun. Why are you just standing there?
- Come on in! - Hurry up.
- Congratulations. - Let me formally introduce you two.
This is my biological son,
and this is someone who is like a son to me.
Thank you for being a son to my mom for me.
No need to thank me. I only did the obvious.
Congratulations.
Goodness. Okay.
Today's main dish is coming out.
What is this?
Auntie, are you sure you're not going overboard?
Eat as much as you want today.
- Here. - Thank you for the food.
Then let's all have a drink.
You must have a cold again.
Would you like some hot water?
Could you get me some?
The guest of honor should stay seated.
The youngest member of the team will bring you water.
Auntie.
On a day as happy as today,
- we have to get drunk. - Goodness.
Okay.
Let's just get drunk today.
If I get too drunk, I'm sure my son will carry me home.
- Oh, my. - Goodness.
- That almost sobered me up! - Goodness.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
- Oh, my. - Hey!
- Oh, dear. - I'm so sorry, In Seong.
It's okay.
It's okay. It could happen to anyone.
Goodness.
Hold on. I think some of it got onto this leg too.
It's okay, Mom. Have a seat.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
When they escaped, Number 12's ankle...
got caught in a trap,
so he had a really bad scar.
Goodness gracious.
There you go. You're fine.
Right. My son's so good to me.
(Sosoo)
What are you doing outside?
I just came out for some air.
I see.
I saw that you had a deep scar on your ankle.
When did you get it?
This?
My adoptive mother told me I had it before I got adopted.
You don't remember...
how you ended up with such a scar?
I'm not sure,
but I think I got caught in a trap.
A trap?
I have nightmares sometimes.
I'm running like crazy in the forest,
and I get caught in a trap.
Doesn't it sound terrible?
Yes. It really does.
I talked to the adoption agency,
and they confirmed that In Seong was adopted to the US...
from Hope Welfare Center in September 2002.
Then we're almost certain that Number 12 is Jung In Seong.
Yes.
What's the likelihood that he's the culprit?
Aside from his connection to Hope Welfare Center,
there are no circumstances to suggest that.
Then all we have left is Number 24. Right?
Do you think that chef could be Number 24?
I saw that he was really good with a knife yesterday.
Lee Jung Soo?
No. His older brother, Lee Hyun Soo, is more likely.
Do you have a hunch?
Lee Jung Soo's parents know Chief Yeom.
Did you perhaps go to Hope Welfare Center as well?
Hope Welfare Center?
Oh, we didn't go to that place ourselves.
The station chief in that area looked into it for us.
The station chief?
Was the station chief's name Yeom Ki Nam?
Yes, that's right. It was Chief Yeom Ki Nam.
He worked so hard to try and find our Hyun Soo.
I think Chief Yeom acted like he was being kind...
to prevent parents...
from finding their missing children.
That's why Auntie...
couldn't find her son for 20 years.
So for 20 years, he ran interference instead of helping.
Oh, my.
How could a human do something like that?
How long must we feign ignorance in front of that jerk?
Until we have definite evidence,
don't act rashly. Got it?
Oh, when I went to the chief's office,
I saw a photo he seemed to be hiding.
It looked like a skeleton.
- A skeleton? - Yes.
Do you think it's the one we found last time?
Are you talking about the skeleton we found...
when we were looking for Manager An?
- Do you have the photo? - Yes.
- Are those the right photos? - Yes.
Based on the wisdom teeth,
it seems to be a girl around the age of 14.
I can't figure out the cause of death.
Can you run a DNA test?
I got some bone marrow cells,
but it's an old skeleton,
so I can't seem to get any autosomes.
Instead, I could analyze the mitochondria.
Do you have anyone I can compare it to?
No.
Can you reconstruct her face?
Of course.
Why did the culprit exhume Yoon Jung's remains?
Why was it Yoon Jung of all people?
Take this.
What is it?
It's the analysis of the broken weapon found in your brother.
The metal substance is very dense.
It can't even be compared to low-cost knives sold in stores.
Something like this is...
probably the work of a big-name artisan in the country.
Is that so?
I inferred the whole shape based on the broken part.
It was a sashimi knife.
And there were signs it was used in the kitchen, so look into it.
Welcome.
We're meeting so often.
Are you interested in this knife?
Do you want to try it?
- Seok Gu. - Got it.
They say chefs have their own knives.
Is that true?
To use knives well, you must break them in, just like people.
A knife that has been broken in...
is like an extension of my body.
No.
Number 45. Let's go on a picnic today.
Do you have a friend you want to go with?
Let's take all of these friends here.
Let's take Number 15, Number 19,
Number 24, and Number 7 too.
Number seven isn't here.
Number 24 isn't here too.
Why? Where did they go?
They ran away.
Tae Ho and Number 24 ran away?
You can't use names.
If you do, you get hit!
- No! - No, it's okay.
It's fine. Nobody will hit you here.
My name is Jo Eun Ki. Nobody hit me, right?
My name is Kim Jung Hee.
You can't use names.
You get hit. If you get hit, you die.
And Number 45's name is Kim Jin Gu.
Can you call your son by name?
Jin Gu.
Jin Gu. My son.
That's right. That's your name.
That's right. You did well.
You did well. You did so well, Jin Gu.
Number 24.
Let's take him on a picnic.
Who is Number 24?
Number 24 is...
- Hey, Eun Ki. - I found out Number 24's name.
Number 24 is...
- Hyun Soo. - Hyun Soo?
- Lee Hyun Soo? - Yes.
Got it. Thanks.
Mr. Lee Jung Soo.
Did you know that your brother, Lee Hyun Soo,
was at Hope Welfare Center?
No.
Is that the truth?
You can't come in here.
What are you... What do you think you're doing?
On May 24, at 10pm,
where were you and what were you doing?
You already know, so why are you asking?
Say it yourself.
Where and what you were doing.
I went like this to your brother Judge Ryu.
Why didn't you throw out the knife?
It'd be such a waste to throw out.
It's my most cherished knife.
Your most cherished knife?
(Video Investigation Room)
- Are you wrapping up already? - That punk is not the culprit.
- What? - He's not the culprit.
That punk is hiding something.
Excuse me.
I'm from Muyeong Police Station.
Do you perhaps...
know if this knife was made here?
(Yong Chang Knife)
Yes, it was.
Do you remember who bought this knife?
How would I remember that?
But I did write it down in my ledger.
- Each knife has a number. - I see.
Hang on.
(Deposit slip)
Oh, here it is.
The knife was purchased by someone...
named Jung Yoon Jae.
Jung Yoon Jae?
Are you sure his name was Jung Yoon Jae?
Yes, he was a young man.
He said it was for his brother.
He said his brother owned a Japanese restaurant.
Who gave you this knife?
- Someone I dearly care about. - Someone you dearly care about?
Is that person Jung Yoon Jae?
Jung Yoon Jae?
I don't know such a person.
If it wasn't Jung Yoon Jae,
then was it someone who is impersonating Jung Yoon Jae?
Namely, Lee Hyun Soo, your brother?
Mr. Lee Jung Soo.
You're not the culprit.
When I found this knife in your kitchen,
you seemed as though you had wanted me to find it.
Tell me.
You know who stabbed my brother, don't you?
You're lying to me right now to protect that person.
Where is your brother?
I, too, really want to know...
where my brother is right now.
(Forensic Science)
My, that looks amazing.
Who's that? She's so cute.
There's this one too.
Oh, my.
My goodness.
Gosh, how handsome.
I'm truly grateful.

(Jo Eun...)
Was Yu Na's dying message...
someone's name?
(Jo Eun...)
Hey, you.
Eun Ki.
Do you happen to know if Yu Na knew someone else...
with the surname Jo besides you?
Jo Eun something. The last letter begins with the consonant chieut.
Jo Eun and a letter that begins with chieut?
No, not that I know of.
Why?
The thing is, Yu Na left a dying message.
At first, I thought she wanted to tell you something...
but couldn't finish writing the message.
But now, I'm thinking...
the message might be referring to someone else.
May I see it?
Will you be all right?
I'll be fine. It may conjure up some memories.
We must do whatever it takes to catch the killer soon.
(Jo Eun...)
I'm sorry. I'm not sure.
No, I'm sorry.
I made you uncomfortable.
I'll be in my room.
(Government Hospital)
Yu Na...
- See you soon. - Okay.
Who's that?
He's a nice guy.
Lucky you. You have so many good people around you.
What if Yu Na's dying message wasn't a name?
You remembered something?
I'm not sure, but...
If it really was him...
Who is it?
Where is Number 11 now?
