(Episode 13)
Excuse me.
Please let me check.
Is he really dead?
All right.
Matching clothes?
You idiot.
How can you joke around right now?
A suspect died in the police station.
Then what? Should I be crying?
Why am I in handcuffs?
I didn't do anything wrong.
What do you mean, you didn't do anything?
There's nothing I did in particular.
- I just had a talk with him. - What do you mean, you did nothing?
You aren't allowed to bring food in here.
Aren't you a lawyer?
Let's go.
Wait, you can't arrest me without any evidence...
This is a violation of Article 124 of the Criminal Code.
- Wait, hold on. - Come here.
It'll be pretty tough to question him. He's a lawyer.
On top of that, his wife is Kang Yeo Joo.
She won't pick up?
I don't think so.
She won't pick up.
I thought my wife would get worried.
Could you call her just once more?
Fine. This is absurd.
I doubt that she'll pick up.
She won't pick up.
Hey.
Who made that food?
I did.
I'm the cook in my family.
I see.
How did you take up Mr. Kim Duk Gi's case?
I even submitted the paperwork under your name...
because the police won't let me meet him.
Well, Ms. Baek and I worked together once before,
so I was highly interested in this case.
Ms. Kang didn't put you up for this?
It feels like you are asking me with an answer you want.
Why do you keep trying to bring my wife into this?
Right before Mr. Kim died,
he singled out Ms. Kang as his kidnapper.
My wife?
Didn't you know?
Her charges were terrifying.
Abduction, inciting violence, and burying a body.
If you didn't arrest her,
I'm guessing that you had no hard evidence.
No, sort of.
Ms. Baek met with Ms. Kang...
on the day of her death.
And there was a witness who saw them getting into a fight.
You have a guest.
Who?
The director of "Unanswered Questions."
I forgot.
Let him in.
Why did you kill...
Mr. Kim Duk Gi?
Why did you poison the food?
Me?
Did you actually find poison in it?
Are you sure? Do you have proof?
That man was perfectly fine,
then he died as soon as he had your food.
Poison or whatever, it wasn't me.
I don't know anything about poison.
All I studied was the law.
You can't keep denying it.
Be honest, will you?
Are you sure...
you made that lunch box?
Yes.
It was me.
I made that lunch box with my own two hands.
Hey.
Mister.
You were caught in the act right now.
A special episode for the station's anniversary?
Yes.
Please help us out again.
I'm a little busy writing my new novel.
The case is very complicated, so we really need your help.
Thank you.
Which case is it?
Baek Soo Jung's murder.
I don't care if you're a lawyer.
There's no way you can escape.
If you want to cut down on your sentence,
make a confession. Spill the truth!
One second.
Get out of the room.
Isn't he supposed to protect and serve the people? He's violent.
How did he become a detective?
Does he really know nothing about the law?
Hey.
I don't care even if it's the smallest lead.
Do you know anything?
This is driving me insane.
No.
Then...
why won't your wife...
pick up the phone?
This case isn't as simple as it seems.
That's why we want to do a special on it.
It must've been difficult to become a producer.
Are you willing to risk your job?
My father has an orchard,
and he needs some help.
How did you get this?
Well...
(Park Hye Kyung)
(Analysis Result)
I have a condition.
I want Kang Yeo Joo on this.
I guess I was lucky.
You do know that I was a suspect, right?
Then you must know well about this case.
Are you going to do it?
I'm thinking about it.
Can you not?
Why?
I thought you were already spending all-nighters on your new novel.
You know Baek Soo Jung, right?
They're going to cover her murder case.
And I'm the one who knows the most about it.
Hey.
You should stop getting involved in her affairs.
I've always been curious, but why do you dislike her?
I do?
You told me to be wary of her.
Look at that. You need to be careful around women like her.
You can't trust your husband too much.
That was because...
of her physiognomy.
She looked like the type...
who'd seduce married men.
You're good.
Skin discoloration and airway obstruction.
I think he was poisoned.
I'd have to carry out an autopsy to be sure, though.
He was having a lunch box right before he died.
Then I should examine the food in his stomach first.
(Holding Cell 2)
Did I eat something I shouldn't have?
My skin's so dry.
Gosh.
What is this?
This is...
These talismans will supposedly stop your spouse from cheating.
The defendant hid these in the plaintiff's underwear,
bed, and pillowcase. In addition,
she burned and mixed it into his food.
Your Honor,
morbid jealousy is a crucial issue that makes...
a divorce eligible.
Why did she put this in my underwear?
Could she have known...
that I had been cheating on her?
Why would the devoted National Husband...
call me who only goes after female college students?
Childish? I'm childish?
Hey, thanks to you, my once-happy family may fall apart.
What? You're...
in a holding cell?
For what?
What?
Murder?
My wife isn't picking up.
I'm worried about her.
Could you go to my house and check on her?
Please.
This soon? Please give me more time.
Jae Ha brought those.
No, he has nothing to do with this.
He just helped me out.
If that's it,
then stop inconveniencing him and leave this country.
There are many ways to have fun without causing a scene.
I didn't ask you for anything big.
I just asked you to lie low. Was that so difficult to do?
You must enjoy picking other people's locks.
You changed your lock.
It took some time.
I should get a refund.
They guaranteed its quality.
Do you not know?
About what?
Yeo Joo's husband was arrested as a murder suspect.
- What? - But I bet she's the murderer.
She probably schemed to make him the scapegoat.
Let me.
These are worth more than you.
If you want to help out, move the stuff that is outside.
Spycam.
Camcorder.
Bolt cutters?
What is this?
(Pest Repellent)
Pesticide?
What are these for?
You suspect her too.
She bought some tetrodotoxin to kill her boyfriend.
She also killed her fiance and disguised it as a car explosion.
I didn't know you could look serious.
How did you know I was here?
I wanted to discuss the lawsuit, but you weren't picking up.
What is it? Tell me and leave.
The pleading date has been set.
But...
if the lawyer doesn't show up,
we're going to have a boring victory.
That won't happen...
because I'll be out soon.
Before coming here, I met with the team leader...
of the criminal department.
This situation is panning out quite strangely.
Elaborate.
Kim Duk Gi died because...
Where should I put the books?
Throw them out.
I don't need them anymore.
I already found out what I need to know.
Do you need some help?
I'm good.
She probably got back at him for having an affair.
Baek Soo Jung is dead, and Han Woo Sung got framed.
It's something Kang Yeo Joo would come up with.
But there's no hard evidence.
Time will tell.
We'll see what happens to Han Woo Sung.
My gosh.
- Gosh. - Hello.
Hi.
She told me that she was cleaning the storage.
Should I call her up?
Well...
Does it hurt?
Yes.
You're heavy.
How long will you stay on top of me?
Okay.
Are you all right?
Help me up.
When you come to work tomorrow, put the books back first.
Don't think about ditching work again.
She left without thanking me.
Yeo Joo, shouldn't we look into hiring a lawyer?
But he's a lawyer.
Even so, it might be too much for him to handle everything.
If he's innocent, I'm sure he'll be released soon.
Wait.
Yeo Joo, aren't you even worried about him?
Staying in the holding cell for a few days...
will give him an edge as a lawyer. Don't you agree?
"An edge as a lawyer"? Goodness.
How can she say that? He's still her husband.
Gosh, no way.
Right. I didn't see anything.
My goodness.
Kim Duk Gi died...
from a severe allergic reaction.
Right. Then, it wasn't murder. It was an accident.
It'd be a different story...
if someone intentionally put it in his food.
Did you really make the food for Kim Duk Gi?
Don't you think it's way too dramatic?
Everything is set up perfectly...
like some plot of a novel.
I heard that unfaithful men...
in your wife's books are always avenged.
Or they get killed.
Or they get framed for murder.
(Holding Cell 3)
("Clinical Immunology and the Study of Allergies")
According to Woo Sung,
he couldn't breathe as soon as he started eating the lunch box.
The lunch box.
("The Allergy Report")
Do you want some more soup?
Yes.
Ms. Yeom.
Yes?
Did you add dried shrimps...
in the stir-fried zucchini from yesterday?
No. Why?
Just asking.
Sir.
- You're here. - Hello.
- Hey. Yes. - Have you been well?
What's the result?
They even got some help from the forensics from the RIU.
They didn't find any poison in the food.
According to the autopsy,
it could've been an allergic reaction.
There was water in the larynx and his lungs.
It looks like he couldn't breathe because his airway was swollen.
It's consistent with a symptom of anaphylaxis.
But it's a rare case that the symptoms showed this quickly.
They didn't find any traces of nuts, poultry, shellfish,
or crustacean.
It would've been hard to cook food without those ingredients.
I think they were excluded from the food on purpose.
Then, how did Kim Duk Gi die?
(Trustworthy police, safe country, Seodong Police Station)
Honey!
Honey.
Honey. Honey...
How did her manager die?
Explain to me in detail.
Well...
Well, the thing is...
Did you eat shrimp?
What?
No.
Maybe, there are bugs in the cell.
Are you sure?
For now, that's the analysis we have.
Yes, Ms. Kang.
Do you have a rough analysis...
of the lunch box I made?
The lunch box?
You made that?
You're right. I did. I made everything.
Mr. Han said he made it himself.
Married couples do that.
I'm at Seodong Police Station.
I'd like to take my husband home.
I made that lunch box.
I see.
So you're finally making a confession?
It seems like there is a misunderstanding.
I'm not here to turn myself in. I came to lodge a complaint.
Darn it.
Let my husband go now.
He could be an accomplice.
An accomplice?
What's his charge?
You didn't find any poison in that lunch box.
You're completely sure of it.
We don't have the analysis result yet.
Of course, I'm sure. I didn't put anything in there.
Forget poison. I left out anything that can cause an allergic reaction.
That means you knew Ms. Baek's manager was...
allergic to shellfish.
How?
I was talking about my husband.
He's mildly allergic to some food.
Anyway, Ms. Baek's manager is allergic to shellfish?
If he died of an allergic reaction instead of poison,
then someone must've been after the manager.
Then I bid you good luck on finding the murderer.
My husband and I will go home and enjoy our dinner.
You'll have to eat dinner alone.
We still have many more questions for Mr. Han.
I'm getting thirsty.
There's no water dispenser here.
I only see where it used to stand.
Did you eat the lunch box with him?
No, I only had water.
By any chance,
did anyone die from drinking the water from the dispenser?
Is that why that's under inspection as well?
Highly concentrated chitosan was found in the water.
It's a type of drug that was recently developed.
It gets absorbed very quickly,
so it can cause an allergic shock in an instant.
It's fatal to anybody who's allergic to shellfish.
It's an allergic reaction from chitosan.
His body reacted too quickly,
so his airway was obstructed.
That's why...
my husband had a reaction although he didn't eat the food.
Well,
I think...
But Mr. Kim, who was severely allergic to shellfish...
Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim!
Gosh, it must be very troublesome.
What if reporters found out that a suspect died...
after drinking water at the police station?
(Seodong Police Station)
I'm sure she knows something.
Doesn't it feel like she's playing some kind of a game with us?
Everything is always too dramatic, just like her novels.
I'm sure she got someone to put the drug in the water dispenser.
Do you think the lunch box was bait...
to make him drink the water?
Honey.
It was for a moment, but I'm sorry for getting suspicious.
(Lawyer Han Woo Sung)
Your call cannot be completed. You will be sent to voicemail.
Where's the flash drive?
What?
Didn't the manager mention the flash drive?
You were caught on the CCTV.
I saw it. It was saved on the flash drive.
Oh, I asked him. Yes.
But then he suddenly fell down.
That should've been your first question.
I'm sorry.
Honey.
You can go home first. I'll run to the pharmacy.
I need some allergy medicine. It's getting itchy.
Okay, sure.
Should I get you something? Do you need anything?
Yes, you know the beer I drink, right?
Yes, of course.
I'll grab a straw too.
Okay.
(Apps)
I said I wouldn't call. I'm sorry.
But this might be the last time.
You're the only one I need to say goodbye to.
Thank you for everything.
I'll never forget.
(Calling)
Did something happen to her?
Mi Rae.
Hey, Mi Rae.
Mi Rae.
Ko Mi Rae!
Why won't you answer me?
Mi Rae. Mi...
Ms... Ms... Ms. Choi!
Ms. Choi!
"Unanswered Questions"?
Yes. They invited me on their show,
but I'm in a dilemma.
Why would you be? You should do it.
Okay? I'm worried about you because you spend all day writing.
It'd be nice to meet other people...
and take some time off work.
Should I take up on the offer?
Right, do you happen to know Lawyer Park Hye Kyung?
Why do you ask?
She's a lawyer that the show works with, and apparently,
you two went to the same training institute.
Right.
Come to think of it, honey.
I think you should finish your novel before going on that show.
Wasn't Ms. Yang threatening to sue you?
I told you I switched publishers.
All the more reason why you shouldn't do it.
Would your publisher like it if you told him...
that you're halting the novel and joining a show?
Ms. Yang let you have your way because you two were close.
On a day like today, you should have some tofu.
Right.
Don't eat this.
- Why not? - Why not?
There's oyster sauce.
Crustacean and shellfish may cause cross-reactivity.
What?
Simply put, this isn't good for your allergies.
Then...
should I bring out some pickled tofu?
We have some in the basement.
Goodness.
Ms. Yeom.
Yes?
What is this?
It smells like herbal medicine.
Oh, that? They said it's good for you.
Ms. Yeom.
Apparently, it'll drop men's stamina.
I found this in his underwear.
This is supposed to prevent one from cheating, right?
They said it was very effective.
Why are you so suspicious?
He even signed a disclaimer of physical rights.
I'm aware of that.
- However... - Do you think I'll just...
sit back and watch if he cheats on me?
He'd be six feet under by now, okay?
Don't do this, okay?
They were expensive.
You didn't need to throw them out.
You have no idea.
Gosh, it's freezing.
Flash drive...
There's a phone booth by the river.
How do I open this?
Open the lamp.
I've taped it inside.
The flash drive.
Found it.
(My Love)
Hurry up.
(My Love)
What?
Wait.
But... Hurry.
Where did you go this late at night?
What are you doing there?
What is that behind you?
It's nothing.
What is it?
I... I couldn't sleep,
so I was going to have just one.
I'll seriously quit.
I didn't smoke it yet.
I... I mean, I will never do anything that upsets you.
- I'm sorry. - Gosh.
That's a lie.
What a lie.
Do you have to work at this hour?
Do it tomorrow.
I'll be busy tomorrow.
Honey.
When will we make babies?
Go to sleep without me.
What? Why now of all times?
Darn it.
What? No way. What?
What? Where... Where did it go? What?
Did I not plug that in? Hold on.
Where did it go?
What? Where is it?
Hold on. Wait. Darn it.
What are you doing?
I thought I just saw a cockroach.
Is that so?
I should spray some insect repellent.
When you spot one cockroach,
it usually means hundreds of them are in hiding.
Right?
You were looking for something on the terrace last night.
The cigarettes.
Did you smoke again?
I found them and threw them out, so I could quit smoking now.
Ms. Yeom.
Yes.
We should spray some insect repellent.
He saw a cockroach on the terrace.
Shouldn't we call a pest-control agency?
I didn't see any in the kitchen.
I don't think we need to go that far.
I could have mistaken it for something else.
Did Yeo Joo find out?
What's up with her cold gaze?
I'm late for work.
Thanks for breakfast.
Honey, I'm off to work now.
I need to join you for my research.
Did you forget?
Oh, right. Yes.
Wait up.
Honey.
I think we should talk.
We've been too busy lately.
I don't know. What should I know? I have no idea.
Why don't we go for a drive?
I want to get some fresh air. It's been a while.
I'm in. Yes. Please get in, my lady.
What...
Why do we need that when we're going for a drive?
Don't you think he got away too easily if Kang Yeo Joo set it up?
I'm sure she's got a plan.
Anyway, Han Woo Sung is in more danger...
now that he's out of the cell.
I don't think she'd try anything when the cops are watching him.
She's got nothing to worry about...
when the NIS is backing her.
Your job is to clean up after Kang Yeo Joo's mess,
isn't it?
Why do we let Kang Yeo Joo push our organization around?
It's not her.
It's Assemblyman Park.
Her father,
Park Jae Geun.
He might become the next president.
The NIS would want to be on his good side.
As long as Park Jae Geun is there,
nothing will happen to Kang Yeo Joo...
no matter what she does.
Do I make a right?
Yes.
The air is so fresh here.
It has been so long since we came out on a drive.
Wait, this place looks familiar.
This smell of bellflower root is very familiar too.
It's mountain herbs, not bellflower roots.
I see.
Gosh, it's got a strong smell.
This area is famous for those.
I see.
I heard mountain herbs are better for health than bellflower roots.
(Cheat On Me If You Can)
Please don't do this.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
The knife isn't the only thing that's gone.
The perfume is gone too.
Do you know anything about that perfume?
Why are we at a cemetery?
I'm about to tell you my secret.
It's an emergency. May I expose my identity?
- Should I shoot? - I know her better.
If anyone shoots, it'll be me.
If you don't get rid of them for good,
they'll always come back and trouble you.
It's all because of her.
That's why you should always stay away from that prude face.
Poison fills up the roots of red spider lilies in winter.
It's time to harvest these.
