FINAL EPISODE
Su-hyeon.
Ms. Kim.
Su-hyeon, are you okay?
Drink this.
Su-hyeon.
Why don't you just do as Yeong-min says?
Ms. Kim.
Do you have any idea
what he's making me and the kids do?
We're committing crimes, Ms. Kim.
Su-hyeon.
But we're able to stay here thanks to Yeong-min--
Please let me out of here.
Ms. Kim, please.
Please. Help me get out of here.
Please, Ms. Kim.
But if Yeong-min finds out,
- he's going to harm me and Do-yun. - No.
I can't. I have to think about Do-yun.
I'm sorry.
Wait, Ms. Kim.
Ms. Kim.
Yeong-min might show up soon.
You should go, Do-yun.
Now.
Run away, Su-hyeon.
Come on.
How's Lee Su-hyeon doing?
Let's leave her alone for the time being.
I don't think she'll listen to you.
No matter how much I beat her,
that bitch doesn't seem to get the point.
Forcing her to go out and work might actually cause more problems.
It's best to just leave her be for now.
I'm going to beat some sense into her soon.
So just keep up with the acting.
What was that sound?
Fuck.
Yeong-min.
Excuse me.
Can I charge my phone here?
DAD
CONTACT LEE SU-HYEON
HA-BIN
CALLING HA-BIN
Pick up, Ha-bin…
Come on…
Ha-bin.
It's me.
I have something to tell you in person.
Can we meet?
What was your relationship with Su-hyeon?
We were close in school.
What about after Su-hyeon ran away?
I've never met her since.
The day she died,
she was with you.
We found evidence that suggests
you, Su-hyeon, and Ms. Yoon were together that day.
Do you think I killed Su-hyeon?
Why would I?
Since Su-hyeon ran away from home,
you called her dozens of times every day.
Why did you do that?
I was worried.
She was my friend.
Did you think of her as a friend or your possession?
You just got mad
because she cut you off.
I know you were here too.
Where did…
Su-hyeon die?
Sir.
I think this is where Lee was murdered.
Team 3 and 4, go and see if there's anything left in there.
Team Two and Detective Cho will check the CCTVs with me.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
I'll go this way.
- Call me if you find something. - I went there to meet her.
She wasn't there, so I came back.
Did you call her to ask where she was?
No.
There's no record of you calling her since that day,
as if you knew that she was dead.
Is there any proof that I killed her?
Hey, Detective Kim.
Which CCTV?
I found a CCTV by the road connected to the scene.
But some woman bought the entire hard drive of this CCTV last year.
Check if that was Yoon Ji-su.
Are you saying
that I deliberately lured my mom out?
Just like you planned to use Captain Jang to get away with murder,
you used your mom to get rid of
Lee Su-hyeon's body, didn't you?
Ms. Yoon definitely saw you that day at the scene.
She decided to bury the body herself
because she was certain that you killed her.
There must be a reason for that.
I know what you think of me.
Those eyes.
I've seen that a lot.
Su-hyeon was afraid of me…
and Mom thought I killed her…
for the same reason.
Because I'm not normal.
Did you double-check?
Okay.
It's been confirmed
that Ms. Yoon destroyed the CCTV evidence.
Are you still going to deny it?
Look. I have a child too, so I understand how you must be feeling.
But you must convince her to confess.
You know that's the best you can do.
So you saw everything.
I know you have questions to ask, so go ahead.
Do you want to know how I killed Su-hyeon?
Or…
do you want me to tell you how I was going to use you?
Ha-bin.
It must have been rough…
seeing people look at you like that.
I believe you.
I will prove your innocence…
and catch the real culprit.
She says she didn't see Lee.
Do you really believe that?
Ha-bin isn't an ordinary kid.
That's why my wife and I suspected her
and my wife even made a wrong choice because of that.
If you know that,
why are you acting just like Ms. Yoon right now?
Are you sure Ha-bin is the culprit?
Yes.
Then go ahead and suspect her.
But before that,
why don't you question your confidence first?
Hello.
Hi, Do-yun.
Thanks for coming.
Do-yun seems a little anxious today.
Can I join him for the interview?
You're his guardian, so yes, you can.
Do-yun, your mom will join us.
Okay.
- Officer Gu. - Yes?
I would like to invite you over for a meal sometime.
- Well, Ma'am… - I'm just so thankful.
It's okay. I really appreciate it, though.
Please let me know if you're ever around my neighborhood.
Will do.
Please take it.
Thanks.
Do-yun.
Hello.
Are you feeling anxious?
Come on. It's okay.
I can't right now.
Shall we go first?
You can hang out with me.
What's wrong?
Don't come.
Sorry?
Don't eat…
what Mom gives to you.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Shall we go now?
Yes, let's go upstairs.
Let's go.
Do-yun.
You said that
you mixed the candy into the juice and gave it to Min-a, right?
- Yes. - Where did you give it to her?
In the kitchen.
Then did Min-a collapse in the kitchen too?
You said you couldn't find Min-a
so you opened the door to my room, and she was there.
Min-a was…
passed out in Mom's bedroom.
What were you doing then?
I was drawing in the living room.
While you were drawing in the living room,
did you not notice Min-a going into the bedroom?
Do-yun, you must be so nervous.
You went to the bathroom, and she was gone when you got back.
She's right.
I was in the bathroom, so--
Sorry, Do-yun. One second.
Ms. Kim, I'm very sorry,
- but I'd like you to leave. - Pardon?
You're disrupting the interview.
- Officer Gu. - Please come out.
Do-yun, let's take a break.
- But-- - Please don't say anything and leave.
The CCTV hard drive that Yoon took must've been destroyed already, right?
Even if it wasn't, Jang Tae-su will not cooperate.
We must find another piece of evidence.
Captain.
We're looking into the record of all the calls made on the day Lee died,
and we found Choi's old burner phone number.
He filmed the video. Of course, he was there.
Why hasn't anyone thought of checking this obvious fact?
CHOI YEONG-MIN'S PHONE NUMBER
HWAUN DISTRICT CALL LOGS
NO MATCHING DATA
Did something happen in the interview?
I might have missed something.
Are you suspecting Kim Seong-hui?
Yes.
Two of Choi's burner phones had calls on the day Lee died
according to the list from the cell tower in the area.
One phone made the call, and the other received it.
There was one more person who was
using Choi's burner phone.
Like Captain Jang said,
do you think Kim Seong-hui is the culprit?
I need more information.
You must've been hungry. Eat up.
You threw up in the bathroom the other day.
Does it happen a lot?
Yes.
Sometimes.
When do you get sick like that?
After you eat?
Earlier, you said I shouldn't eat what your mom gives me.
Why did you say that?
Would you like some candy too?
Go on.
You haven't seen this candy, have you?
This is the candy you said you gave to Min-a.
Please take care of this for me. Thanks.
Wait, Detective.
When can I meet Seong-hui?
Well…
Then please tell me how Min-a died at least.
It was acute intoxication.
Intoxication from what?
- And who… - It's still under investigation.
You'll find out later.
Wait.
I have something to tell you.
If what Park said is true, it means Kim Seong-hui killed Choi too.
Can we let her go like that?
We have no evidence.
What if Park is just regretting that he turned himself in?
Have a few officers keep tabs on her.
Yes, sir.
I'm not saying
Kim Seong-hui is the culprit to save my daughter.
The three crimes
were committed by the same person, one after another.
Now we know that Jang Ha-bin isn't the culprit either.
So you think all three of them were murdered by Kim?
Yes.
Because I've been lying to you and keeping things from you,
I ruined this investigation.
Is there a way to arrest Kim?
Mom took the CCTV hard drive from near where Su-hyeon died.
Can you tell me everything you remember about what happened
before she died?
We need to know what she did,
what she was thinking, and why she believed that
you killed Su-hyeon.
Tell me what's going on first.
You know
Kim Seong-hui, right?
Kim has been arrested before,
so she must have been on high alert.
I think she hid the money somewhere near the house, not inside it.
We must find that money first.
- Get on it now. - Yes, sir.
- Look everywhere it could be hidden. - Yes, sir.
Before your mom died,
did you notice any change?
Mom.
I think she started to write something.
Like a diary?
No.
It looked like a letter.
But I'm not sure.
I see. Anything else?
Before she died…
she often went to the columbarium where Ha-jun's urn is.
She thought I killed Ha-jun as well…
after believing I had killed Su-hyeon.
That's probably why she went there.
LATE JANG HA-JUN
Do you think
Mom had a hard time?
She was not like me.
She could've just asked me…
if I killed Lee Su-hyeon.
Is this…
Su-hyeon used to run track, right?
SU-HYEON, I'M SO SORRY
Su-hyeon.
I'm…
so sorry.
If I had moved faster…
to follow Ha-bin that day…
would you still be alive?
Su-hyeon?
Why?
Okay. I'll be right there.
SU-HYEON
Ha-bin…
Su-hyeon.
Su-hyeon?
I saw your daughter kill Lee Su-hyeon.
Bring the money to the mountain
where you buried Lee's body, before I call the police.
I guess this is my karma…
for doing you wrong.
MOM, YOUR DEPRESSION IS GETTING WORSE
IT COULD BE THE MEDICATION TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION
WHEN DID MOM'S DEPRESSION BEGIN?
DEPRESSION SURVIVORS
But you know what, Su-hyeon?
I'm starting to feel like…
it might not have been Ha-bin who did this to you.
OWL SUPERMARKET
It's you.
Who are you?
You're the person blackmailing me.
I saw you on the CCTV footage from the grocery store.
What were you doing there that day?
Was Su-hyeon…
really killed by Ha-bin?
- Was it perhaps-- - I saw it with my own eyes.
Your daughter killed Su-hyeon.
But even if
she wasn't killed by your daughter, the situation looks bad.
The mom buried the body, thinking her daughter was a murderer.
She'd be devastated to learn that.
But I just can't
bring myself to ask Ha-bin.
I don't have the courage to hear that she killed you…
or to tell her that I thought she did.
I'm so sorry, Su-hyeon.
I'll pay for how I wronged you…
with my own life.
LATE YOON JI-SU
If I were your mom, I would have never thrown away that CCTV.
Once we find that,
we can prove that Kim is guilty.
I was mistaken again.
I thought we were on the same page.
After seeing all that,
you still want to arrest Kim Seong-hui
instead of getting revenge?
- Ha-bin. - You're not supposed to be like that.
Mom suspected me
and couldn't even ask if I killed Su-hyeon
because of you.
Do you have any idea how our lives were?
After Ha-jun died,
Mom became mentally ill.
Whenever she anxiously looked at me…
I didn't want her to suspect me either,
so I tried so hard to live like a normal person.
You abandoned Mom when she had depression
and never looked back.
So why now?
You think arresting her will free you from the guilt?
Mom was…
killed by you.
CAPTAIN OH JEONG-HWAN
If you feel even the slightest guilt toward her…
don't arrest Kim Seong-hui.
Have you seen this person?
Have you seen this person here?
- No? - No.
Sir, it's here!
About the money that disappeared…
It's been confirmed that you hid it.
You killed Choi because of money, right?
It's true that I took the money,
but I didn't kill Yeong-min.
Are you freaking kidding me?
This won't do. Where's Kwon Do-yun now?
Here.
Why is she taking Do-yun with her?
Does Ha-bin know that Kim is the culprit?
Is she seeking revenge?
Kim is the one who committed the crime. So why…
She lost her mom because Kim blackmailed her.
She might want to use Do-yun
to give her the same pain.
Captain.
- Kwon Do-yun's phone just turned on. - Where is the location?
Some empty land. It's not far.
We have Kwon's location now. Let's go find him.
Stop the investigation on Kim.
Gather all available search teams and get moving.
Yes, sir. Hey, follow me. Did you tell Team Two?
Yes, sir.
Captain.
Are you…
really Su-hyeon's friend?
Yes.
Su-hyeon wanted me to bring you to her because she misses you.
Don't arrest Kim Seong-hui.
Ha-bin.
Please.
You're right.
I killed your mom.
The person you want to kill
isn't that woman.
It's me.
Good that you know. Now, move.
I can't stop here.
You know what kind of person I am.
That's why you left.
Because I'm a monster…
you abandoned me.
I didn't abandon you.
I ran away.
I was too scared…
to confront my doubt.
That's why I ran away.
Ha-bin.
Did you kill Ha-jun?
I didn't.
Yes, I know.
Sorry, I asked you too late.
I'm sorry, Ha-bin.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
Please…
forgive me.
I'm sorry.
Do-yun!
Do-yun.
What were you doing here?
Can I give you a hug?
The day Lee Su-hyeon died,
you went to the abandoned factory.
What happened there?
That day,
Yeong-min beat Su-hyeon badly.
Su-hyeon ran away, and Yeong-min chased her.
I was worried something really bad might happen to her,
so I followed them.
OWL SUPERMARKET
You followed them all the way there
to help Lee Su-hyeon?
I couldn't just sit and watch that girl
running away, looking like a mess.
Su-hyeon.
What are you doing here? Let's go home.
All this time, I thought you were a good person.
But you were on Choi Yeong-min's side?
What are you saying?
You've been taking advantage of us, acting like you care about us!
I'm going to tell others about this.
Su-hyeon.
- Come on, Su-hyeon. - Don't touch me!
Get any closer,
and I'll call the cops.
I think there's some misunderstanding.
Okay. I won't follow you.
But Yeong-min did say
that he saw some girl
killing Su-hyeon.
He said then some lady showed up
and took…
She took the body with her and he showed me a video of it.
Then have you watched this video too?
Su-hyeon.
This is the video that was deleted from Choi's phone.
We restored it.
Su-hyeon.
Su-hyeon?
Su-hyeon.
Yeong-min.
Some woman
killed Lee Su-hyeon.
That means Yeong-min lied to me.
How could he blackmail the lady…
when he was the one who killed her?
It was you who killed her, not Choi.
Then you filmed the body.
That burner phone belonged to Choi,
so you knew you could frame him for it.
Why are you suspecting me? On what grounds?
We have evidence that you killed her.
Before Jang Ha-bin, Yoon Ji-su,
and Choi Yeong-min arrived, you were at the scene already.
The person who killed Lee Su-hyeon and took the video of her
was you.
But you said
I shouldn't tell anyone about it.
I was so scared to eat my mom's food…
because I thought she might kill me too.
What if…
I end up like Kim Seong-hui?
Just like I used you to get away…
she used her son too.
No.
You're different.
I didn't know anything…
but I thought I knew everything.
Once people get to know me,
they don't trust me and leave.
I don't know who I am.
I'll stay with you.
Until you figure out
who you are.
I'll be by your side.
I have something I must tell Jun-tae.
You can tell me.
I'll pass it on to him.
Mr. Park.
This is from your father.
It's raining a lot today.
I had dried radish greens soup for lunch.
I wonder what your favorite food is.
You must have started high school this year.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't even buy you your uniform.
I'm so sorry
that I'm your father, Jun-tae.
I miss you, Jun-tae.
I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ME
BUT I TRULY WANT TO APOLOGIZE
I'm so…
I'm so sorry, my son.
Geez.
You deserve your mom's nagging.
Wait. I'll call you back.
I heard you turned in your resignation letter.
It's all over now, so why don't you reconsider?
I already made up my mind
when I crossed the line as a cop.
I wouldn't have been able to handle it like you did.
My only focus would've been my child, not the case.
I know you did your best.
Good job.
Sorry for everything.
Officer Lee, you were right.
My naive sympathy kept me
from seeing the truth in front of me.
I almost ruined everything…
acting like a good person.
Both the case and with Do-yun.
My disappointment in Captain Jang
also kept me
from believing Ha-bin.
I thought I was being objective…
but I was wrong.
Why was it so hard for us to see things as they were?
I know.
I'm going to quit.
I'm not fit to be a police officer.
Maybe a good person is
more likely to become a good police officer.
You're doing great.
Captain.
We're having a team lunch today.
Right. Beef barbecue, right?
Yes. I made a reservation.
- It's beef barbecue. - Why don't you join us?
No, I'll pass.
My daughter is waiting.
He is indeed a doting dad.
But let's
grab a drink another time.
Shall we go for the barbecue now?
Are you out of your mind?
Go on.
Happy birthday.
Why a watch?
No reason.
Shall we eat now?
WE SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT FOR DOUBT
