(Episode 21)
(Born Again)
Shall I kill him now?
There were three people who went in,
but only two came out.
Kim Su Hyuk.
I knew this day would come.
Sung Ha,
I'll take your revenge and bring Ma Chul back.
You won't die.
Not yet.
You still have things left to do.
- It's a cardiac arrest. - 120 joules!
Shot!
Charging to 160 joules.
Make it 200.
It's ready, doctor.
Shot!
(January 25, 1988)
Come quickly.
I know that he is alive.
He'll be back in his time.
Sometimes, I meet people who have seen Gong Ji Chul.
The prison officer in charge of Gong Ji Chul...
kept the secret that he possessed a fountain pen.
("Don't tell me that you know me. I don't know you.")
("You, thou, happiness. You, thou, love.")
("The fact that I'm alive is no more than a rumor forever.")
Being an evil painter, Gong Ji Chul...
did not regret his murder...
and was confident at the execution ground.
The murder was...
his work of art.
(May 31, 1988)
Let's go visit your wife at the hospital after this.
She will deliver a healthy baby.
Yes, she will.
Is this...
Lawyer Jang Hye Mi's house?
If you tell anyone that I'm alive...
you...
as well your family will die.
Do you believe Gong Ji Chul is still alive somewhere?
Well.
I did write this book but Gong Ji Chul is...
an evil being created by society.
All of it could be real...
or a fictitious novel I have written.
People prefer to settle for a lie...
rather than see the uncomfortable truth.
Should I read the next passage?
A woman helped Gong Ji Chul to escape.
The woman supported Gong Ji Chul who killed...
her stepfather who has raped her.
She was the woman of Gong Ji Chul.
Inside her,
Gong Ji Chul's baby was growing.
There's cash inside the book. You will need it.
But must you go?
It'll be better for you to hide for the time being.
You asked me to find out where Jung Ha Eun is.
Open the last page in the book.
You can go to the place that's written in the book.
It's the address of the hospital in Samcheok.
(Won Nam Hospital, Jichul-dong 2090-11, Samcheok, Gangwon-do)
Then he went to fulfill his last wish...
with the time he had left.
That last wish was revenge.
The detective who tormented him...
and his lover who testified against him.
Gong Ji Chul thought...
the two should pay for their sins.
It's me, Jang Hye Mi.
You're being too cold considering I'm your past lover.
By the way,
I saw Gong Ji Chul today...
whom you have executed.
You saw...
Gong Ji Chul?
April 7, 1979, was...
the day Gong Ji Chul committed his first murder. Do you remember?
He hurt his back after falling...
while working at a construction site.
He hovered between life and death for two days in Suncheon hospital.
As I remember it,
the yellow umbrella case that day was...
near Changsin-dong, Seoul.
It's funny.
I wonder how Gong Ji Chul who was in bed in Suncheon Hospital...
went all the way to Seoul to kill someone?
Didn't you even check his hospital records?
What is it...
you want to say?
You should kill him properly this time without mistake.
Once it's found Gong Ji Chul is not the real culprit...
I will be in trouble too.
Just like you.
There is a large hospital at the pier in Samcheok.
The name of the hospital is Won Nam Hospital.
You can find him there.
I will keep...
my mouth shut forever.
Prosecutor.
You may go.
(Prosecutor Chun Seok Tae)
- Hello? - Yes.
That thing. Your drug smuggling.
I'll take care of that, but you owe me a favor.
- I need you to take care of him. - How should I do it?
He's already executed.
He's already dead!
You're asking me how to take care of a dead man?
(Won Nam Hospital, Jichul-dong 2090-11, Samcheok, Gangwon-do)
(Won Nam Hosptial)
Hey, remove that hood from him.
Organs aside, we'll have to see his eyes to give them a grade.
Hey, what's the use of surviving?
Don't kill him. we need to take out the heart while he's still alive.
(Cabin)
I stabbed a critical point.
No one saw how Gong Ji Chul died.
If he is still alive,
he will return...
to us at his time.
- It's a cardiac arrest. - 120 joules!
- Shot! - Charging to 164.
Make it 200.
It's ready, doctor.
Shot!
We have a pulse.
Get him ready for surgery.
I have to get into surgery right away.
Are you his guardian?
What's his name?
His name...
I called his parents so they'll be here any minute.
Wait.
I'll sign it.
I'm his mother.
I thought his heart stopped just a while ago.
His brain won't deteriorate...
as aftermath, will it?
There's a bullet in his head.
We need to get it out through operation before it hits the brain.
Are you saying his brain is already messed up?
We can only see how much damage was done...
after we open his skull.
If you can't guarantee that the brain is not damaged...
I won't agree to the operation.
If you can't save him without an operation...
I will move him to another hospital.
What are you doing?
- Who are you? - Me?
I'm the one who saved your son.
I saved him once, I'll save him again.
Why aren't you getting ready?
If he dies, all of you will too.
Let's move him.
(The Center Operating Room)
(Nice to meet you.)
The bullet was closer to the brain than was shown on the CT scan...
so we couldn't take the bullet out.
We will just have to wait...
until the bullet moves away from the brain.
- What about brain damage? - Well,
the bullet is in the temporal lobe,
what we call the hippocampus.
We'll see after he wakes up...
but he may suffer from light amnesia...
where he doesn't recognize his friends and family.
Worst case scenario, he may show signs of dementia or delirium.
What did you say?
Delirium?
Is his hippocampus damaged?
Wait.
If...
Jong Bum wakes up...
give him this.
Please.
Your son is in no shape to go to America.
They don't know if he'll live.
Did you not see him hit with a bullet?
Even a thug won't do this to his family.
(Jong Woo)
Listen, son.
You should start drinking the harp seal juice...
your brother was having.
You can only have nuts as your snack.
You know I had you on the plane on purpose, right?
You're an American citizen.
You don't need to compete with beggars in this tiny land.
You know...
you'll be lonely if you don't do extracurricular activities, right?
Let's start learning the cello.
Start to learn football.
So you can make friends in America.
(One year later)
Professor.
I think Jong Bum came back from America.
What?
I saw him in Insa-dong yesterday.
That can't be.
I talked with his parents, he's an exchange student in America.
I'm sure it was him.
But he seemed...
a bit changed.
He gave me the chills.
He looked kind of sick.
Jong Bum...
I love you.
Should we...
- be a family? - Since I'm a criminal...
I guess we are family.
You kick the floor with one foot when you're flustered.
You close your mouth and talk with your eyes.
That's when you're worried.
(Did you really go to America? I can't believe your family.)
(It's all my fault. Why aren't you returning my calls?)
Jong Bum, are you in Korea?
Are you busy or are you sick?
Who is this?
Dad, why do you sound like that?
Didn't the pretty therapist visit you today?
I'll be over there. We should grab a drink.
(There is no signal.)
(Jung Sa Bin)
- Move it to this side... - Look who it is.
It's Detective Rambo who got suspended after the gun accident.
Start briefing.
A hiker found this early this dawn.
Her name is Kim Yi Su, aged 33.
This was found in a pile of dirt under the tree...
where the body was found.
Forensics say it looks like it came out from the body.
It's a heart transplant patient.
We'll have to undergo a precise autopsy,
but from the dent in the skull and the thyroid cartilage fracture,
it seems like this person was hit with a dull object...
and strangled with something similar to nylon wire.
Start the precision autopsy.
Yes, sir.
Let's see the umbrella.
The details are too vivid to be called a copycat crime.
He's back, isn't he?
(Jung Sa Bin)
The victim's name is Kim Yi Su, but why's it written as Jung Sa Bin?
Wait a minute.
The reason he didn't write the date is...
maybe he's going to kill Jung Sa Bin soon.
Dad,
why do you look so down today?
(Prosecutor Kim Su Hyuk)
Who are you?
Hello,
I'm Han Hee Ji, the new art therapist...
for Mr. Jung Sung Eun since last month.
Are you his daughter?
Yes.
(The Magic of Color Psychology)
Don't you think your father's...
color yellow is a bit compulsive?
Other patients give off...
the energetic and positive energy from yellow.
But your father is feeling extreme anxiety and fear...
of the color yellow.
He has no other choice but to feel that way.
He'll get better soon.
Don't worry too much.
Let's end our class here.
Let's have a meal sometime.
I'm so thankful that you're giving my dad a private lesson.
Sure.
(Prosecutor Kim Su Hyuk)
Aren't you going to check it?
It could be an urgent message.
I'm at the NFS because of some remains we found.
Please call me.
Excuse me.
Good job, mister.
You'll have to do as I say to save your daughter's life.
Did you get that?
Until when will you not answer my calls?
Did you say you found some remains?
Let's meet and talk.
Okay.
I'll be back around seven.
(Chun Jong Bum)
Chun Jong Bum?
Who...
are you?
You said Chun Jong Bum was dead.
He's dead for sure. He was shot in the head.
He shed a lot of blood.
Who is this then?
Only Chun Jong Bum knows this number.
If he's really dead, bring me his corpse right now.
Weren't you...
dead yet?
She's about 167 cm tall, weighing about 49 kg.
There's a fracture on the right part.
I can see a microfracture in a radial shape.
I think this person was hit by something like a baseball bat.
The fracture was not the immediate cause of death.
The cause of death is a fracture on the thyroid cartilage.
Both tongue bones were fractured.
This was strangulation.
Sa Bin,
- what happened a year ago... - I do not wish...
to talk about it.
It's a difficult memory for me,
just like it is for you.
But your name was on the umbrella...
that was found next to the body.
My name?
Sa Bin,
you need to be protected.
I'll call the police if I need protection.
If the suspect of the yellow umbrella murder case is...
Chun Jong Bum,
why is this happening again?
Are you going to say it's another copycat crime?
I don't hate you...
because you shot Chun Jong Bum in the head.
It's because you insisted it was Chun Jong Bum...
even when you knew it wasn't him.
It's because you don't regret the fact you shot a person.
I've been tracking Chun Jong Bum's whereabouts...
while I was suspended for a year.
It was rumored that he went to the States,
but after checking his departure records,
there wasn't any record...
on him leaving the country.
I have nothing to say.
I told you.
I'm not going to lose anyone close to me.
I don't care if you hate...
or avoid me.
I only need you...
to be alive,
just like you are now.
Can you turn up the lights?
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, we have a lot of lights.
Wait a minute. Turn it off again.
- Pardon? - Turn it off again.
Yes, sir.
(Episode 22)
I will issue a warrant, so search and confiscate Yuhon gallery.
Gang Du Chul has an accomplice. Trail him and look for clues.
Gang Du Chul will need cash before running away.
Wait at the ATM in front of Yuhon and start following him.
That pervert is going inside the bank before me now.
Yes, Kim Su Hyuk found out it's me.
Chun Jong Bum.
Why do you judge people and give them a tag?
I don't think Jong Bum did that to Detective Ju.
Are you going to say it's a copycat crime again?
Lim Hwa Young murder case?
She confessed to me while she was drunk...
that she killed her child.
He earnestly wants to change.
I'll try to be a normal person.
Is he really not the one?
(Jung Sa Bin)
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable...
(The location cannot be found.)
Professor, it's Kim Su Hyuk.
is Sa Bin at the NFS right now?
Look at my hard work drawing 200 cuts in a frame.
Come on. Hurry up.
I will breathe into the dead and he will resurrect.
Mr. John Doe. Show yourself the way you were 30 years ago.
Make him resurrect holding a walkie-talkie.
This is Prosecutor Kim Su Hyuk.
They must look alike.
(Autopsy Room)
Put the book inside if you want to give a memorial service...
to that detective.
In his next life, he can be born like Gong Ji Chul.
Gong Ji Chul cherished that book as if it was his life.
He was murdered on the happiest day of his life.
That's why he did not decay.
He bought a ring he'll place in his lover's fingers...
and was on his way to see her...
but died even before he met her.
It's 830403?
Is it the date of the wedding?
April 3, 1983.
It could be the first day he met his bride.
Or a special anniversary.
(Old Future)
It's a keepsake found at the site of the murder of Jung's parents.
So don't make a confession on the first night.
It's not like he'll forgive you if you did.
If Tess didn't confess her past to Angel on the first night,
Angel would not have left Tess.
Then Tess would not have been a murderer.
They didn't have to end up unhappy.
Doesn't it take courage to confess your sin?
("Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë)
Giving pressure to forgive to someone who is hurt...
is making things harder for him or her.
I would not confess if it were me.
So you're going to live on carrying your sin?
No, the confession can be kept.
He can protect her by her side...
and risk his life once for her.
(Old Future)
It's snow.
April 3, 1983...
is the day it snowed in Spring.
I wanted to see the snow with you for the rest of my life.
I, Cha Hyung Bin, will risk my life...
and protect my bride, Jung Ha Eun, until the end.
I've been meaning to ask you why you look at me in that way.
How am I looking at you?
It's the way you'd see a lover you broke up with.
To be honest, I trembled from the first time I saw you.
Are you okay?
I was worried about you.
What happened? Where are you hurt?
- Ha Eun. - Ha Eun?
Ha Eun, why am I lying here?
You're the one who's sick.
Prosecutor Kim, you are really sick right now.
You can't even recognize me.
What are you talking about? Of course I recognize you.
Which part of the holographic image was so shocking?
You can't even remember my name, Jung Sa Bin.
Jung Sa Bin?
Who's Ha Eun?
Who is she?
Are you really...
Wait here. I'll bring the doctor.
(Gu Hyul Ki)
Sir.
Hello?
Did you hear about Detective Ju waking up?
They say it's a miracle.
Detective Ju In Do?
- Where is he? - What?
Do you not remember?
He's in room 407 at Insung Hospital.
(Patient: Ju In Do.)
In Do, what happened?
Prosecutor Kim?
It's me, Hyung Bin. Cha Hyung Bin.
Is this the underworld?
Or is he a ghost?
Is that what this is?
Sir, I'm in no mood to joke around.
- In Do. - Just stop it.
What happened to the Hwasung serial murder case?
That culprit was caught.
Then what about Gong Ji Chul? What happened to him?
Gong Ji Chul?
He was executed a long time ago.
Stop joking around!
The year 2021.
In Do,
you know what happened to me, right?
Detective Cha, you died...
Wait.
What's the name of the bookstore where Ha Eun worked?
What is it?
"Old Future."
In Do, do you have the cab fee?
What are you?
Who are you?
Where are you headed?
Let's go to Chunggyecheon.
Please put on your seat belt.
Just a moment, doctor.
(The NFS Jung Sa Bin)
(Old Future)
Open it.
Read it.
Who's Sung Ha?
Seo Sung Ha.
He's my only brother.
You reminded me of him when we first met at the school.
He was killed by Su Hyuk as well.
That letter was...
sent to me a week before he killed himself in prison.
Try to count...
how many times he wrote that he wants to live again.
It's 332 times.
Kim Su Hyuk that son of gun.
My brother never killed anyone.
But he got locked up for manslaughter because of Su Hyuk.
I don't need to tell you about Su Hyuk anymore, right?
You've heard enough over the past year.
If you get in this house today, he won't be able to touch you.
The man who shot you in the head...
as long as we are alive, he's done for.
Also,
that's the only reason I saved you.
So...
what do I need to do?
Just stay put...
in that house.
It's not revenge just to stab him with a knife.
Stab him with your words, it hurts more.
You're not their family.
You're my family who shares food.
Remember that.
You have everything.
Nice house, money,
brain, talent, and looks.
You need to have everything.
Get it all.
You're the owner of this house, got that?
Also, I picked me up a reporter.
Chun Seok Tae won't treat you badly anymore.
Pick up, not pick me up.
The doctor said...
that your unconscious mind remembers everything.
If you don't remember anything...
just follow your instincts.
(Mobile phone)
- Hello? - Is this Chief Prosecutor Chun?
Who is this?
How did you find my number?
I'm reporter Na Eun Sung with the Jeil Newspaper.
We've got some information.
I heard that your son is on death bed after being shot by thugs.
Is this true?
We already have a headline for that.
"A heartless father and his lowly son."
"Chun Seok Tae who faces a promotion as public prosecutor general."
If you want to continue being a reporter...
stop making up rumors...
and start learning how to check facts.
Where on earth is he?
Mom.
He's here.
Didn't you say he was in the States?
Your unconscious mind remembers everything.
If you don't remember anything...
just follow your instincts.
Jong Bum.
How did you get here?
You didn't go to the States.
Where were you staying?
How have you been?
I'm healthy now.
You lived in a wealthy family for 23 years.
Has your appetite changed?
Jong Bum,
you didn't like the smell of cucumber.
What happened to Jong Bum's school?
We processed it as if he went for an exchange program.
You can attend lectures starting next week.
I almost forgot, Jong Bum.
Do you remember that your dad will be appointed...
as the public prosecutor general next week?
Since Jong Bum is here,
we should take a family photo this weekend.
We're a perfect family now.
At least pretend to play the part if you don't want to.
There will be a family interview.
Yes, father.
Make a credit card for Jong Bum.
Don't make him work any part-time jobs.
We need to be alert...
for a month from now.
Be polite...
to your brother, Jong Woo.
You don't need to go abroad, Jong Woo.
It's too hard for you to pass the TOEFL test.
Is it that difficult to get a score above 80?
I can learn English from Jong Bum.
Is that okay,
- Jong Bum? - You might be...
better than me.
Let's get you a car, Jong Bum.
Stop riding motorbikes.
I never liked it.
Okay, I'll do that.
Jong Bum,
you and I should have a talk.
Tell me...
where you have been and with whom.
I don't remember.
Even after Detective Kim Su Hyuk got...
suspended after the gunfire accident,
he still went looking for you.
Your mom said you went to the States,
but there wasn't any record of departure.
Where were you with whom?
I wouldn't want to tell you even if I remember it...
because it's scary when you shout like that.
Do you remember this?
You can leave now.
I have somewhere I need to go.
Why, you...
Okay.
I'll let the driver know. You can go now.
Where should I take you?
"Old Future."
Pardon?
Please go to the old book store...
in Cheonggyecheon.
I'll go to Cheonggyecheon.
Please stop the car.
(Born Again)
The connecting link between 1987 and the present is the painting.
Did you come back to life?
It's been a while, Gong Ji Chul. I apologize.
It seems like everything happened because of me.
- Oh, my! - How did you survive?
It's because I didn't get to tell her I love her.
Are you still doubting him as the suspect?
Cha Hyung Bin,
why can't you recognize me?
We'll be together from now on.
It's not over yet.
I'm going to make him confess his crimes on his own.
Today's the day you die for the second time.
