"The Almighty Is Dead" is praised as the best novel of the year.
The writer of this successful novel, Yuk Dong Ju,
is suspected of having stolen a novel from an obscure writer...
and published it under his name.
This suspicion has caused a huge scandal.
The readers and public are filling petitions to the Blue House...
to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of the scandal.
And the number of petitions so far has reached 300,000.
Some people began boycotting all books from the publishing house,
Literature and Imagination.
Personal information of the writer's family had been exposed as well.
The suspicion turned into a full-blown scandal.
Is it true that you stole the novel?
Some say you caused the car accident to steal the manuscript.
Who is the real writer of the novel?
How much longer were you going to keep it a secret?
How do you feel right now?
Do you have anything to say to the readers?
Did you not feel guilty at all?
Are you ready to face the prosecution's investigation?
Who wrote the novel? You or the unidentified boy?
Answer my question!
How much longer were you going to keep this up?
You've done something utterly dangerous.
This novel was not supposed...
to come out into the world.
(Episode 3)
(Today, Lee Myung Seok)
(Chief Editor)
Gosh. It startled me.
Hey, when will you be done today?
I was on night duty yesterday. So I'm getting off work now. Why?
Can you go to my house and install security cameras?
Don't buy cheap ones. Get me high-performance stuff.
I'll pay you later.
Hey, I changed the passcode too.
Why? Did someone break into your house?
Call me when you get there. Thanks for your help.
Dong Ju.
(Jung Yong Dae, Chief Editor)
(Public Payphone Number)
(Chief Editor)
Hello.
- Are you all right? - What do you mean?
You remember what happened last night, right?
- I'm in love with you - Hey!
You jerk.
- What's going on? - My gosh!
- No! - What's happening?
Is that why you're calling me?
Not really.
You know that you have an interview today, right?
Mr. Yuk?
Yes, I'm listening.
You must be here at least an hour before the interview.
You need to get your makeup done too.
You can't take pictures with wounds on your face.
You have to film a video...
which will go on the newspaper's online website.
A video?
I can't have the interview with my face like this.
Can you postpone that?
Mr. Yuk.
You already postponed it once.
If you don't show up for the interview,
you will see a different kind of news article.
About the assault and violation of your contract.
Fine! Suit yourself. Gosh.
Goodness. This is driving me crazy.
You were wearing that when you got into the accident.
We had to treat you urgently, so we had to cut it with scissors.
I see.
Right. You were only wearing one sneaker.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
Maybe I should have asked him.
I want the writer's autograph and a picture with him.
(Ward 4102, Unidentified)
Happy birthday.
But you can't remember who it was?
No.
I bet it was your family.
Why aren't they looking for me then?
How come my parents aren't looking for me?
I'm sure they are.
Anyway, it's a good sign that your memories are coming back.
And you need to get discharged now.
- Discharged? - Yes.
There's nothing more we can do for you at the hospital.
As long as you're okay,
why don't you stay at my house until you find your family?
My house might be better than a shelter.
I'll think about it.
I hope you'll consider it with a positive mindset.
I'm sorry.
- What's wrong with you? - I'm sorry!
- Gosh. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
Critics are praising your work for having such deep insight...
into people's greed and the boundary between good and evil.
And your novel has turned into a huge fad among the readers.
A huge pad?
No. Your novel is becoming a fad. Like a trend.
I see.
Okay. It's my first time hearing about it.
The novel takes place in the mid-1990s.
I think he's nervous.
It's gaining a lot of popularity among the younger generation.
Right.
I see.
Mr. Yuk, can you look up a bit? That would be great.
Okay.
Was there a special reason behind writing this novel?
Well,
if there was a special reason...
Back then...
(Novelist Yuk Dong Ju)
I was struggling really badly.
I had to work as a courier and a chauffeur...
while writing my novel.
(Novelist Yuk Dong Ju)
My passion to write a good novel was so intense.
So I spent all night, trying to write my novel.
But when I saw only my mouse cursor,
blinking on the blank page in the morning,
it destroyed me.
I started to doubt my talent...
as a writer too.
So is this novel an example of how your perseverance won?
No.
Poverty and physical fatigue...
destroy one's mind.
I didn't even have enough money to pay rent.
Telling me to stay strong mentally and overcome my poverty...
was cruel nonsense.
But I still hung in there...
with my willpower.
However, I was reaching my limit.
I didn't think I could keep it up.
I saw my life crumbling away.
At that moment,
I saw lightning.
You're telling me that...
you were inspired as if you were struck by lightning.
In this world,
there are miraculous things...
that we cannot possibly explain with words.
I think a miracle happened to me too.
He's such an honest guy.
Despite the lack of time you had, your novel clearly shows...
that you had done your research to keep historical authenticity.
Do you have a special tip on how to research effectively?
I don't have a special tip or anything.
I read books that are relevant to the topic or research online.
I often did my research at the library.
I also met up with people to interview them.
You must have had a lot of data.
Will it be possible for you to show us your research journal?
A novelist named Jung Yu Sun recently disclosed her journal.
And it's been garnering a lot of attention.
Gosh, that's not possible.
I'm not so organized.
And it's also my trade secret.
That's a pity.
Was there an actual case that inspired your novel?
A YouTuber who reviews books...
shared that the novel might be based on a true story.
(Black Chauffeur)
Well, I'm not sure if there was a similar incident to my novel.
But my novel started...
from my imagination. It's pure fiction.
Lightning. Miracles.
Your answers weren't rational. You only focused on sentiment.
You kept giving her such boring answers. Gosh.
You were born with a silver spoon.
You would have to be born again to understand sentiment like that.
You should let go of that prejudice of yours.
"Poor people are good. Rich people are evil."
The prejudice that originated from your inferiority complex.
Sure. Thanks for your advice.
Hey, you're a novelist.
You should have interpreted and explained your work rationally.
That's up to the critic.
Sir.
They want to take a picture of you with Mr. Yuk.
- Okay. - Why?
Sure. Fine. Let's do it.
Please tell them no politely.
This interview is about him,
not me.
Okay.
Bye.
You should at least apologize.
I understand why you did it.
Unleashing your inferiority complex through violence...
is very embarrassing and immature for intellectuals like us.
"I'm angry because you punched me. So apologize."
You could simply have told me that.
What a complicated way of saying so.
I punched you too. It was mutual.
We're even. All good.
It was self-defense for me.
I'm sorry to punch you first. Happy now?
Hey, how is that an apology?
I understand why you did it.
You must be jealous of me and have an inferiority complex.
You must want to keep me down with the money you have.
But you shouldn't do stuff like that as an intellectual.
I'm jealous of you?
Gosh. This is ridiculous.
Hey, I'm the one who made you a published writer.
Have you forgotten?
See?
You're trying to keep me down with your money again.
Where did you learn such awful tricks?
- Hey, Yuk Dong Ju. - Let's say I got your apology too.
- For what? - Your apology for patronizing...
my mother.
I'll say we're even for busting that handsome face of yours.
Bye.
Stop bragging.
Right back at you.
That punk. Right back at you too.
By the time the chauffeur arrived,
Mr. Shin Kyung Chul's car had already been gone.
So the chauffeur left.
Did you know about this?
No.
Did that happen?
Yes.
Why didn't you tell us about that before?
I just thought the chauffeur agency had made a mistake.
I didn't think much of it.
But this is a murder case.
You didn't think much of it?
Back then, I didn't know Director Shin would be murdered.
Gosh. That gives me the creeps.
It means the culprit was watching my place the whole time.
When you handed over the car key,
you saw the culprit's face, right?
As I told you before,
he was wearing a mask. So I never got to see his face.
So the culprit intercepted him before the chauffeur.
Is that possible?
It's possible if he was tailing Shin Kyung Chul closely.
Making his move, exactly knowing when he'd call a chauffeur...
isn't easy.
- What if there was an accomplice? - An accomplice?
If an employee from Fortuna was an accomplice,
the accomplice could've informed the culprit fast.
Do you have anyone in mind?
There's someone I have in mind.
But I have to do some more digging.
Did you find any connections between Shin Kyung Chul and Jeon Doo Hyun?
No, nothing special.
My goodness. This is driving me crazy.
He went missing two months ago. The security footage is gone too.
There are no eyewitnesses.
Why is it so hard to find some evidence?
We have the forensic result from NFS.
What did they say?
The pieces of wood found in both victims...
are of the same material.
- Park Hyun Soo. - Yes, sir.
Share Jeon Doo Hyun's case files from two years ago with the team.
Yes, sir.
All right.
Let's keep an open mind that they were murdered by the same guy.
We'll investigate this case as if we're starting fresh.
Everyone, stay sharp.
Na Sang Woo went missing too.
That's only circumstantial. We haven't found his body yet.
Let's not snowball this case.
- Okay. - Not a word to the reporters.
If they start yapping that this is a serial murder,
everyone will try to get involved.
Especially you, Big Mouth.
Why are you always picking on me?
What about Chairman Lee Tae Man?
He will only respond to us in writing.
Gosh. Come on.
So what if he's a chairman of a conglomerate?
He must think we, the police, are a joke.
We'll keep pushing then.
No.
Get his written answer first.
Fine. He's the chairman of a conglomerate.
We'll at least pretend we respect him.
This is Park Hyun Soo.
Who is this?
Yes, doctor.
No.
(Yuk Dong Ju)
Did the patient wake up?
("The Almighty Is Dead")
Is that so?
That's a relief.
Yes. But he still doesn't remember anything.
(Neurosurgeon Lee Soo Yeon)
Well, I was wondering...
if the police were trying to find his family.
Who are you?
Is it okay for you to walk around?
Do you know me?
Well, when you got into the car accident,
I was the police officer in charge of your case.
Hello.
I'm...
at a different unit now.
(Park Hyun Soo, Seoul Sowon Police Station)
(A piece of wood)
Min Woo!
Who are you?
Wait. You're...
Gosh.
You know what?
He seems fine on the outside.
But he's still a patient.
So he gets cold very easily.
He tells me that he's cold all the time.
I think it's because of the car accident.
How have you been?
I hope you've been well.
Yes.
Let me introduce her to you. She was...
She told me.
She did? Okay.
I'm at the Violent Crime Unit now.
I see. Did you transfer to a different unit?
- Yes. - I see.
But what brings you here?
I heard that you weren't able to find your family yet.
And you still don't remember anything.
By any chance,
were you able to find his family?
I checked,
but I didn't see any missing person reports.
Why don't we put up a banner around the scene of the accident?
A banner?
We can put your picture and essential information.
For example, we can say that...
you were in a car accident and lost your memories.
And he's currently looking for his family. Something like that.
I see. Okay.
I didn't think about that.
You can put in my number...
or the police station's number on the banner.
You can put my number on the banner.
I'm his temporary guardian.
You guys can talk about it and decide.
Okay.
I'll put in both.
His number and yours.
The detective is busy. We can only put my number on it.
You might miss some calls.
Don't you worry. I'll answer all of my calls.
I can't trust you. You even lost my...
Okay. Fine. Let's put her number in too.
We'll put your number in.
And I'll put my number in. Put down my address too.
Happy? Nothing will go wrong then, right?
Gosh. This is touching.
You made the trip to come to see him.
You gave us a great idea.
You're indeed the protector of justice.
Okay. The guide of the public good.
- Okay. - I'll get going.
Okay. Be safe.
Thank you for the book. I'll read it.
Pardon?
Thank you.
Why is she thanking me?
Why do you look so anxious?
I'm not anxious. Who's anxious here?
You.
You seemed all nervous and awkward.
I'm hurt. That's why.
I didn't know you didn't trust me at all.
I'm doing my best...
to keep your secret to myself.
(Yeollim Hospital)
Is there trouble with Detective Park?
Did you feel something like pain, devastation, and desperation?
I was told I could go home now.
"Go home?"
Dr. Lee Soo Yeon said I could stay at her place.
- Really? - Yes.
That's great.
So I'm going to stay with you.
What do you mean?
Why should I inconvenience Dr. Lee when you're responsible for this?
You should take responsibility since you caused this.
This is beyond the scope of "taking responsibility."
There's no such thing.
Respect my privacy, will you?
You said you were my temporary guardian.
That didn't mean you could live with me.
I'll only stay with you for the time being.
Your doctor said you could come and stay with her.
She lives with her family.
I'd hate to inconvenience them.
- And it's okay to inconvenience me? - You said you lived alone.
At the end of the day, we're all alone.
Everyone has a life to live and a burden to bear.
Everyone has their own journey.
You meddled in my life.
Hey, you meddled in my life.
Besides, no one can be responsible for someone else.
I can't even figure out my own life.
I never asked you to be responsible for my life.
Hey, why on earth do you want to live with me?
You said you didn't trust me.
I don't hear anything when I'm with you. That's why.
I neither see...
nor hear anything.
So I'm comfortable when I'm with you.
I prefer rice to bread.
What? Do you expect me to cook for you too?
Well, I can eat bread once in a while.
Let's go.
- Go where? - Where the accident took place.
Now?
I might remember something when I'm there.
And I need to figure out where to hang the banner.
Hey, why are you so impatient?
I should regain my memory quickly. It'll help you out too.
We'll go once you can be discharged.
You'll need their permission to go anywhere.
I already have their permission.
Hey, you can't go out wearing this patient uniform.
What? You'll wear that?
Dr. Lee bought me new clothes and shoes as a gift.
Okay, fine. Let's go.
And there's something I need you to do.
- All right, smile. - Okay.
In 1, 2, 3.
- What is this? - A GPS unit.
- What's that? - A device that helps you navigate?
I see. That's why there's a map.
This is fascinating.
- You fascinate me even more. - Me? Why?
From telepathy to psychokinesis,
you have all sorts of superpowers,
but you're a super idiot who doesn't even know what a GPS is.
It's all your fault.
Blame the lightning.
And your name, Dong Ju, sounds so familiar for some reason.
It's because of Yun Dong Ju. Everyone knows who Yun Dong Ju is.
Okay, fine.
What?
If you hate me that much, just take me to the shelter.
I never said I hated you.
Then I'll check out of the hospital tomorrow.
I have a lot on my mind right now.
Should I keep my enemy close as they say?
- Am I your enemy? - It's just a figure of speech.
Oh, my.
There are so many buildings here.
- Why? - Fine dust will seep in.
What is fine dust?
Right, so... Goodness.
(Seoul Sowon Police Station)
Where have you been?
I met Jeon Doo Hyun's wife.
And I had to make a few stops on my way back.
Jeon Doo Hyun's wife? Why?
I had a few questions for her.
Don't act up and go off on your own.
I let Inspector Lee know before I left.
If it weren't for you,
Min Woo wouldn't have died like that.
I was simply doing my job.
Oh, seducing a married man? Is that your job?
You have some nerve. I give you that.
How could you have the audacity to come back here?
I was officially transferred here. That's why I'm here.
And if something like this happens again, I will not let it slide.
What, then? Will you tell the higher-ups on me?
- Yes. - Hey!
(Seoul Sowon Police Station)
(Trustworthy Police, Safe Nation)
So? Is anything coming back to you?
This place feels familiar...
yet unfamiliar at the same time.
What does that even mean?
It's like that line, "I died, then I lived."
There was an alley.
I swear, there was an alley. And there were many houses.
Maybe that was another day.
It rained, and there was thunder and lightning.
You said...
it rained that day and that there was lightning too.
Yes, that's true.
But look. I don't see a single alley here.
They're building an apartment building over here.
Honestly, it's such a mystery.
Where did you suddenly come from?
Hey, let's just go.
Are you sure it was here?
Yes, I am sure.
Where did all the houses go?
It's not that the houses disappeared.
Your memory is distorted.
When did this construction project begin?
At least a year ago.
Hey, don't try too hard.
We live in the present, not in the past.
Whether you regain your memory or not,
you survived, and you're here now.
That's what matters.
But I need to at least know who I am.
I have no idea who I am either.
And just so you know, I was born in this neighborhood.
Although I was too young to remember anything.
This is your hometown?
That's right.
After my dad passed away, my family moved to an adjacent neighborhood.
That day too. I was on my way home after visiting my mom...
when the accident happened.
But I don't remember anything about this neighborhood.
I guess it means nothing to me.
When you don't remember something,
it means it's not meaningful to you.
What about me, then? Do I mean nothing?
Hey, don't take me the wrong way.
My point is, the present is what matters, not the past.
Get in the car.
(Public Housing Complex)
Hey, is there anything you want to eat?
You're probably sick of hospital food.
Tell me, whatever it is.
Don't tell me you don't even remember food names.
What is it? What now?
(Auto Repair Shop)
Hey.
What is it?
(Auto Repair Shop)
Hey, what... What's wrong?
Why? What is it?
Hey! Where are you going?
Goodness.
Darn it. This is nuts.
Hey!
What is going on?
What's the matter? What now?
Hey.
What is this?
What?
What's going on?
What is this?
What just happened? Where did he go?
What?
Hey, kid.
Wake up.
Let's get out of here. Get up.
Wake up.
Get up.
Hold on.
Darn, this is nuts.
Oh, wait. Excuse me!
Wait, sorry.
By any chance,
do you know who drew that on the wall over there?
No.
My gosh.
Where did he go?
Anybody there?
Help!
Help me! Anybody there?
Please let it open.
Open.
Hello?
Anybody there? Help!
Open the door!
Open the door.
Open this!
Please open the door.
Open up!
Open the door.
Open up.
Please open the door!
Anybody there?
Open up!
(Repentance Room)
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
Hey.
Gosh, I don't care.
He has superpowers, so I'm sure he can find his way back.
Gosh.
Darn it.
Dong Ju.
- Hey, where are you? - Help me.
Where are you now?
Hey! I need to know where you are to help you!
Hey, victim!
Hey!
Where are you?
Postbox...
I can get out of here.
I will find a way.
Hey, kid.
Wake up. Open your eyes.
Wait, excuse me!
Sorry, may I ask you something?
Do you want to die?
Who are you?
(Post)
Hey, where are you?
Can you hear me?
If you can hear me, answer me!
Don't...
Don't kill me.
Please don't kill me.
Please...
Just die.
You shouldn't even call yourself human.
Die.
Hey, where are you?
I'm here!
If you can hear me, answer me!
Hey, victim!
It's me, Dong Ju!
- Why? What's wrong? What happened? - To the hospital.
The hospital? Let's hurry.
Help.
There's someone in here!
Help me!
(Babe)
Help me!
(Emergency Medical Center)
Goodness. Thank you.
This guy is special,
so he needs a friend whom he can trust.
He told me that you knew.
His life would've been jeopardized if you arrived a little later.
He saved him.
Come on.
- I'll go upstairs. - Okay.
Please excuse me too.
Wait, one second.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
He has a scar on his back.
A scar?
It looks quite old.
I'm only assuming,
but I have a feeling he was abused as a child.
I see.
Maybe that's why his family isn't looking for him.
Perhaps.
Goodness.
Oh, boy.
Man, my body aches.
My gosh.
I'm suffering so much because of you.
You were really good at lying.
To the police.
"I came across this doodling, and it stayed on my mind."
"I used the postbox in the drawing as the lead..."
"to find the child's home."
That's true.
"The front door was opened, so I went in,"
"and I heard him groaning inside."
"The bedroom door was locked."
Should I have said a superhero suffering from amnesia...
saw and heard the pains of an abused child...
from the doodling on the wall, teleported, then saved him?
They would never believe it.
They'd probably call me crazy.
What nonsense.
His mom saw everything.
Nobody will believe anything that woman says.
Would you believe it?
I tried to kill her.
What do you mean?
The boy's mom.
I'm tired. I'm calling it a night early.
What? Okay. Sure.
Let's get you discharged tomorrow.
I'll pick you up, so get ready to leave.
Am I going to your place?
I have no choice as the perpetrator.
I must meet the demands of the victim.
Let's take our time to figure out...
the problems that piled up after you get discharged.
And you should make a name too.
A name?
It's really tough for me without a name to call you.
- Does that also work as a camera? - I watch films on this too.
Hey, Yong Dae.
That's so cool.
Do you know him?
I can't really see his face.
If it's someone you knew, you wouldn't have to see the face.
No, I don't know him.
Where did you get this?
Your video intercom has these features.
When someone rings the bell or pushes the password,
the video gets captured marked with the date and time.
That's a thing?
Goodness. What are you missing?
- What? - I'm sure he stole something.
That's why you wanted to install CCTVs.
- Nothing. - Nothing?
No, nothing.
How do you think he figured out the password?
That's why you never use your birthday as the password.
First, report your case...
It's okay. Don't do it.
You have to catch him.
But nothing's gone.
He's dangerous. He might come back.
I changed the door lock password...
and installed the CCTV too. I'll be fine.
I'll manage everything.
I'll report your case, then go through the CCTV footage...
If anyone must find him, I will!
What's with you?
What do you mean?
I just don't get it.
He broke in with the password,
and he wasn't a thief, which means he was after something else.
It just seems like a hassle.
You're hiding something from me.
No.
Look me in the eyes.
Come on. Cut it out.
I know.
He's a stalker, right?
What?
I have a feeling. He must be a fanatic.
So this is what comes with fame.
You got a stalker right after you became a bestselling author.
You have to find him.
Stalkers are even more dangerous.
I actually talked to him on the phone.
On the phone?
He called?
- Yes. - What did he say?
He didn't like the ending.
That the novel shouldn't have been published.
He's a total cuckoo.
He said he'd never do that again,
so let's give him a break this time.
This isn't something you should just let go.
He promised, so just let it go.
You can't trust a promise from a total psycho.
- Just leave it to me. - I'm fine with this.
I just don't want this...
to blow up and turn into a scandal.
He seems dangerous, so keep your eyes on him. Okay?
Okay. Don't worry about it.
Fame comes with a price.
It does.
Right, you're now number one bestselling author right now.
Your mom recently became the most popular lady in her town.
Okay.
(Auntie's Home-cooked Meals)
Excuse me. Can you ring me up?
Did you enjoy the meal?
(Auntie's Home-cooked Meals)
You said it was good, but you haven't eaten a lot.
You did that last time too.
You're here late today.
It's my dinner shift.
My son keeps telling me to quit my job,
but it gets boring to sit at home all day.
Your son who is a novelist?
Did I mention it before?
Yes.
He's now the number one bestselling author.
Congratulations.
He took after his father and was gifted with a talent for writing.
His father loved to read.
I'll be back next time.
Goodbye.

(The last person he called)
(Violent Crime Unit 3)
("The Almighty Is Dead")
This isn't a coincidence.
Sang Woo went missing,
and Kyung Chul was killed.
On top of that, Jeon Doo Hyun too.
This cannot be a coincidence.
Then what?
It's related to that incident.
That incident?
The one from 27 years ago.
Don't be overly sensitive.
Kyung Chul was found at Sopyung Lake.
Sopyung Lake.
I know that too.
Yet you still think this is a coincidence?
Are you sure she's dead?
Who?
Lee Ha Neul.
Are you sure?
I already gave you my answer.
Check with your father once again tomorrow.
When I say I'm sure, that means it's for sure.
What are you two doing?
You two will never change, will you?
Try to get along without fighting.
And your friend died,
so mourn a little too.
What do you think?
Do you think this is a coincidence?
It's a little odd to call it a coincidence.
Right?
Yes.
Don't call my girls outside.
Okay, Chairman Lee?
Bring Myung Seok along one of these days. I miss him.
Myung Seok is different from me. He hates these places.
I think it's because his mom used to work in a place like this.
It must remind him of his mom.
You still like to check people's pedigree.
The blood never lies.
That woman.
She can be really sexy.
Yesterday night, a man walked down the street...
and found a drawing on the wall.
He could have just passed it by,
but it was actually an SOS sign from a child under abuse.
It was Kim, a six-year-old boy who was abused and neglected...
by his biological parent,
locked up in a room of a semi-basement apartment.
Kim was locked up in a house filled with mold and garbage,
solely surviving on snacks his mother brought him...
once a week.
His mother abandoned him there,
then had been living with another man nearby.
Years of continuous abuse...
left Kim's body covered in wounds and scratches,
and he was found...
in a state of life-threatening malnutrition.
The man who saved the child without passing by...
on his desperate cry for help was...
Novelist Yuk Dong Ju, who wrote "The Almighty Is Dead."
At the time, Mr. Yuk had been out researching...
to gather information on his next novel,
then began to question when he saw the child's drawing.
The mother, Jang, is under investigation...
for child abuse and negligence,
but she shows anxiety symptoms,
in an attempt to avoid getting questioned.
Hee Jung, only good things will happen in your life from now on.
I'm jealous.
Good things? Hardly.
Of course, only good things will happen.
Not only is your son a big shot writer,
he's also a hero who's on the news.
That's something I'm very proud of.
I personally think honor comes before money.
But money is important too.
Dong Ju has always been righteous since when he was a kid.
Such a kind and honest kid.
He must've taken after his dad.
I'm too happy to sleep these days.
- I'm that thrilled. - I would think so.
I'm starting to wonder if I'm even allowed to be this happy.
I can't possibly want more.
Gosh.
(Managing Director Lee Myung Seok)
Mr. Lee.
The orders for his books are flooding in.
And we're getting mountains of offers for interviews too.
Yes, okay.
The readers are calling in to share their support.
Mr. Yuk is so amazing.
How did he catch that from a drawing?
Did you get him on the phone?
No, he won't pick up. I'll try again.
No, I'll call him.
What?
I just woke up. What?
Did you watch the news?
What news?
You say you hate doing interviews,
but you go out and do things to get more interviews.
How am I supposed to understand this?
Did you schedule another interview?
I told you no already, didn't I?
Are you kidding me?
Are you?
Yes, you should be commended for saving that child.
But that's enough of your hypocrisy.
What if you...
Hello?
You punk.
You hung up first again.
The man who saved the child without passing by...
on his desperate cry for help was...
Novelist Yuk Dong Ju, who wrote "The Almighty Is Dead."
This is driving me insane.
I asked them time and time again not to release my name!
Darn it. This is driving me crazy.
I can't become more famous than this.
What's that?
What?

Why are you suddenly here?
Why did you send me this book?
I didn't.
- You didn't send it to me? - No.
I don't even know your address.
Excuse me.
What is it?
How did you write this novel?
Did an actual case inspire this book?
By any chance,
do you know me?
Well...
You looked very much like someone I knew.
I was mistaken.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
Wait!
The murders in your novel are happening in real life.
What?
Similar incidents are breaking out in real life,
and it's too uncanny to call it a coincidence.
Don't you know me?
Am I...
not that person you said I looked like?
No.
It can't be you.
Why not?
Because that person is as old as I am.
Was the story of this novel...
written by you as pure fiction?
Did you actually write this novel?
(Miraculous Brothers)
Is imagination a crime?
Or it may not be imagination.
You're trying to say that I'm the culprit.
This includes minute details that only detectives in charge know,
and the MO are very similar too.
Is that student still alive?
Kang San.
He went missing. He's most likely dead.
Hey, can you find out more detail...
on a case from 27 years ago?
You lunatic.
What have you done?
What are you hiding from me?
What on earth happened 27 years ago?
It's nice to see you.
Wait, did you...
really try to kill her?
I told you.
I tried to kill her.
