(Miraculous Brothers)

(in this drama are fictitious.)
(Episode 5)
(Chungil High School)
What is this?
How could they look exactly alike?
(Chungil High School)
(Signing Ceremony for Sisterhood Agreement)
(September 29, 1995)
Year 1995.
They can't be twins. It makes no sense.
A doppelgänger?
No.
His father?
Yes, that makes more sense.
Even so. How could they look exactly the same?
Even their hairstyles look similar.
(Chungil High School)
Who is this?
I'm from the police.
(Chungil High School, Kamikawa High School)
What? You'll wear that?
They are the same sneakers too.
Please open up. I'm from the police!
Go out through the back door.
Hurry.
Go out through the back door.
Hurry.
What about my brother? Where is he?
We'll get out of here.
Just wait for a bit.
Don't curse at me!
I'm not a jerk.
What's this sound?
Mr. Yuk.
Mr. Yuk, are you inside?
What's going on? Mr. Yuk!
Don't trust anyone.
Do not go to the children's home.
Hurry up and go. Now.
Are they the same person?
Year 1995...
(September 29, 1995)
But that's not possible.
(Detective Park Hyun Soo)
Then who's inside?
What on earth is this about?
What's your passcode?
Why would you go into my house?
Something's happening in your house. I'm certain of it.
What's happening inside?
That's what I want to check.
What's your passcode?
Does being a detective give you the right...
to barge into my house when I'm not there?
I'm doing my job here.
I'll tear down the door if I have to.
- It's open. - What?
I'll call you back after I check.
Hello?
Gosh. Come on.
What kind of trouble is he in now?
Hold on. The security camera.
(List)
What? Why is this off now?
(Ki Jeok)
- Sir. - Gosh. Sorry for making you wait.
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
Something urgent came up.
I'll call you and visit you again.
I'm sorry, sir!
I'll come back another time!
What on earth happened?
What kind of trouble did you cause this time?
Something just happened.
What's something? What happened?
You know the picture in your study?
Is that your family photo?
Yes, it is.
Is the guy in the picture your dad?
Yes. Why are you asking me about my dad?
When are you coming home?
What on earth have you done?
Did you see or hear things again?
Something like that. But it's hard to explain it.
I'll hurry back. Don't go anywhere. Stay in the house.
And don't say a word to the detective.
Say what?
What do you think? I'm talking about your secret.
Even if you tell her, she wouldn't believe you. Bye.
Who was it?
Who did this?
Tell me what happened here.
I was alone.
Is there another entrance to this house?
Where did the culprit go?
I did it.
(Signing Ceremony for Sisterhood Agreement)
Do you remember who this student was?
You mean Kang San?
- Kang San? - Yes. Lee Kang San.
I was his homeroom teacher.
Do you know where he is and what he's doing now?
Why are you suddenly asking me about Kang San?
Well,
I've been researching...
for my next book.
So let me get this straight. You did it yourself.
But you can't tell me why?
Right.
Do you expect me to believe you?
That's the truth.
Why can't you tell me why, though?
Because it's a secret.
What's this secret?
Even if I tell you, you won't believe me.
I will believe you. So just tell me.
I have a superpower.
Do you think this is a joke?
See?
Stop telling me this nonsense and tell me the truth.
Someone else was here, right?
Does he know Mr. Yuk Dong Ju well?
Did that guy threaten you?
I told you this happened because of me.
You have nothing to worry about. Just tell me.
I will help you.
I've met Dong Ju's father before.
Disappeared?
Are you telling me he went missing?
Yes. He disappeared without a trace.
When was that?
When did Lee Kang San disappear?
You've met Mr. Yuk Dong Ju's father before?
Yes.
I remember meeting him.
That's not possible.
(Special skills: Driving)
(Personal Information)
(Father, Yuk Chan Sung, Mother, Cha Young Sook)
(Yuk Chan Sung died in a hit-and-run accident in 1995.)
He passed away even before you were born.
However, I remember meeting him.
I'm sure there's an error in your memory.
But he was the one who gave me the backpack.
He gave the backpack to me.
The backpack?
The backpack I had when I got into the car accident.
You had a backpack on you?
Yes.
Did you see any belongings of the victim at the scene?
No.
Where's the backpack now?
Was there anything in the backpack that could tell us your identity?
He said no.
You didn't check it yourself?
Dong Ju lost it.
He lost it?
Yes.
Are you sure there was a backpack?
I'm certain of it.
This man gave me the backpack.
It's impossible to meet a man who's already deceased.
I know. But...
This could be a symptom of PTSD.
But before we talk about that,
tell me the truth about what happened in this house.
I don't know what the truth is anymore.
Does it even exist?
What do you mean?
If you don't believe it,
even the truth won't be true.
It was demolished a long time ago and moved to a different location.
Cheonyoung Children's Home.
It was a shelter run by a church.
He lived there with his older brother.
People say misfortune never comes alone.
How could that happen to both brothers at once?
The novel was his story.
It will take a long time to clean everything up.
When will Mr. Yuk come home?
- I don't know. - Where did he go?
He didn't say.
Hey, did you find it?
Okay. I'm on my way now.
(Kai)
(Which is it? Light? Darkness? Kai.)
("The Almighty Is Dead")
I was going to help you clean up, but I can't.
I have to get going.
You don't have to talk to Dong Ju?
I'll call him.
And if there's anything you want to tell me...
or if you have any problems, call me.
Call me anytime.
Okay.
Bye.
("The Almighty Is Dead")

A novel?
(Violent Crime Unit Team 3)
The truth behind the Sopyung Lake Case...
from 27 years ago is in this novel.
Only the culprit and victim know the truth behind it.
Of course, I can't be certain that the plot of the novel...
is the truth behind the case from 27 years ago.
But the description in the novel matches the crime scenes...
where Shin Kyung Chul and Jeon Doo Hyun were found.
The narrator in the novel...
reminds me of Lee Ha Neul who went missing.
After listening to you, I became certain.
Jeon Doo Hyun wasn't the witness of the Sopyung Lake Case...
from 27 years ago.
It was Lee Ha Neul who went missing.
Are you telling me Lee Ha Neul is taking his revenge?
It's very possible.
Lee Ha Neul is alive.
Yuk Dong Ju is the principal culprit or an accomplice.
He has connections with Lee Ha Neul.
What's the connection, then?
They lived in the same neighbourhood 27 years ago.
- What else? - The book is...
the connection between them.
Get a grip.
Imagination has no place in investigations.
Give it a read.
It will change your mind.
No one can write this novel just based on one's imagination.
Even if the story adds up,
without evidence, this is...
just a novel.
(Which is it? Light? Darkness? Kai.)
("The Almighty Is Dead")
Kai?
Kang San's older brother was extraordinary.
Only brilliant minds could enter Taekang High School.
And he was always at the top of his class.
He was a great artist and writer.
To put it simply, he was a genius.
But no one tried to find him?
The school or the police...
didn't make any effort to find him?
The police said it was a simple case of a kid running away.
And since he didn't have any family...
But he had you.
If the police didn't look for him, you should have tried to find him.
But I didn't work at Taekang High School.
But Lee Kang San went here.
The brothers vanished into thin air.
How come no one even thought about looking for them?
You said his brother was gifted and a genius!
And why would a good student like him run away without a reason?
Are you here to yell at me about it?
What?
How dare you raise your voice at me? How rude of you!
Gosh. I'm sorry.
Now that you're a famous writer,
you think you can do whatever you want?
No, that's not it. I did it unknowingly.
Kang San...
had a close friend.
Gosh.
(Chungil High School)
He's a teacher at my school.
Go and talk to him.
How many times must I repeat myself?
My brother didn't run away. There's no reason he would.
I'm sure something happened to him.
I got it. Just go.
He didn't run away.
So what? What do you want me to do?
You must find him!
You're the police. You should be doing something.
Gosh. I can't believe a punk like him is pestering me now.
How dare you glare at me like that?
The police are supposed to help people.
You should be looking for my brother!
He left of his own accord.
Where do you expect us to find that orphan kid?
If you want to find him, you look for him!
The police...
won't protect orphans?
Does not having parents take away our citizenship in Korea?
You punk. How dare you?
You just had to make it obvious that you were never taught properly.
Leave now.
You're the police. Do your job!
What? You jerk!
Don't curse at me!
I'm not a jerk.
- Kang San. - You didn't even try to find him.
You didn't even think about finding him.
Do your job as the police!
Get out of here!
Let go! Get your hand off me!
He didn't run away!
Kang San.
That was...
the last day I ever saw Kang San.
Was there anything unusual about Kang San?
What are you? Kang San's friend?
He's much older than you.
Gosh. I'm sorry.
Anything unusual?
Yes. A trait that could identify Mr. Lee Kang San.
Don't tell me...
Did you find his body or something?
Gosh, it's nothing like that.
I'm researching for my novel.
Stop using your novel as an excuse. Tell me the truth.
That's the truth. Why would I lie to you?
Because it's odd.
A detective came to me this morning...
and checked Kang San's student record...
out of the blue. And you too.
You're asking about Kang San too.
A detective?
Was it a female detective?
No.
(Lee Ha Neul)
You remember this student, right?
Do I have to remember this boy?
Twenty-seven years ago,
he came to me and said he had to talk to someone...
about the Sopyung Lake case.
About the murder at Sopyung Lake.
Who should I talk to?
Is there something you know?
(Police)
Hold on a moment. Jong Il!
Then I handed him over to you.
Did you?
What did the student tell you?
Is everything you just told me really true?
Yes, it's true.
What you just told me...
Have you told anyone else?
No.
Good.
As you're probably aware too,
we're dealing with powerful people here.
If we aren't careful, both of us could get hurt.
Yes, I'm aware.
But you see,
your statement alone wouldn't be enough to prove it.
There's evidence.
- Evidence? - Yes.
A videotape.
I have no recollection of it whatsoever,
so it was probably nothing important.
Anyway, I said this the last time too.
Why do you keep bringing up a case that was closed long ago?
I believe it's not over. That's why.
They didn't say why they were looking for Lee Kang San?
It wasn't Kang San.
I think he was looking for Kang San's brother.
- His brother? - Yes.
He only found out when he got here that Kang San had gone missing.
Kang San has a scar on his back.
I happened to see it by chance, so I pretended I didn't see it.
But it looked like it was from getting beaten up.
If you do find Kang San, let me know.
There's something I must tell him.
Can you punch me?
Punch me just once.
I can't tell if this is real or if I'm dreaming. I'm confused.
Ouch.
It is real.
Get going.
What is his name?
What's the name of Lee Kang San's older brother?
Ha Neul.
What?
Sky.
Lee Ha Neul.
Lee Ha Neul?
Dong Ju!
Hey, did you meet the principal?
Did something happen?
Hey, what's the matter?
I wrote a novel.
What?
One day, it was raining hard, and there was lightning and thunder.
Suddenly, a gap was created in the space-time fabric like a black hole,
so the protagonist travelled through time and ended up in the future.
- Is this your next book? - Keep listening.
Ouch!
But as soon as he arrived in the future,
he got hit by a car.
He suddenly jumped out of nowhere.
There was suddenly no service on my cell, so I couldn't call 911.
So I... No, I mean...
The driver took him to the hospital.
They said he was dead.
The patient has expired.
The doctor pronounced him dead.
But he came back to life.
He suddenly opened his eyes, like a miracle.
He came back to life but couldn't remember a thing.
Not even his name.
But he has amazing superpowers.
He can hear and see it when someone's in pain,
and he can even teleport.
Don't write this story.
Right? It makes no sense, right?
If it's a sci-Fi book, I wouldn't say it doesn't make sense.
But it's boring.
What? "Boring?"
I think it's so shocking.
The thing is, Yong Dae...
To tell you the truth,
a novel written by a serial killer...
Yes, that's it.
You need a serial murder case in the story!
This book will do very well.
Go ahead and write it.
Thanks.
No problem.
I feel much better now that I've told you.
Goodness. Hey, I have to go.
Bye!
Yes, sir.
Yes, I'm on my way now.
Yes, that's right.
Lee Ha Neul.
Sky...
Kai?
Sky.
Kai.
Is he done with his treatment?
- I saw him earlier, - Detective Park!
and he seemed somewhat unstable.
Oh, it's probably because he hasn't fully regained his memory yet.
Yes, you don't need to worry.
Hello.
How are you feeling?
It's not affecting my day-to-day life.
Not yet.
(Seoul Sowon Police Station)
Is there anything that shows his face?
Look at the next page.
It's this man.
The one who dropped off the package for you.
Clearly, he had no intention of covering his face.
Where did I see him?
(Joint N)
I told you not to buy it.
I figured you'd run out soon.
Hold on.
Let me give you money for it.
No, just don't charge me for dry-cleaning.
You never get anything dry-cleaned. Take this.
Gosh, this is too much.
Hey, you've bought me so many things!
Okay, fine. I'll take this.
How's your knee? Better?
I've had knee pain all my life, you know.
I think this medicine helps, though.
I'm glad to hear that.
(No Myung Nam)
No Myung Nam is the man who sent me the book.
I'm sure of it.
I recently saw a photo of him while checking his release date.
And I checked it again just now.
Did you meet him?
(Naesung Dry Cleaning)
- Oh, sorry. - Sorry.
Oh, thank you.
Jeon Doo Hyun was murdered two years ago.
You know about it, right?
(Closed on Sundays)
No Myung Nam has fled.
I'll send you his license plate number.
Put out an APB on his car and trace the location of his phone.
(Naesung Dry Cleaning)
Mr. Yuk!
Why didn't you answer my call?
I'm sorry.
I have a really bad headache right now.
As for the bed, I put it where you'd wanted it.
I see. Thank you. As for the payment for the bed,
I'll send money to the company's account.
Please don't be upset.
As for Director Shin's script,
- Mr. Lee is getting it sorted out. - That's not even important.
- I understand how you must feel. - No, no one can understand me.
I do!
What writer wants to be accused of plagiarism?
Strictly speaking, it's impossible to create something completely new.
We could say every writer that came after Shakespeare copied him.
Can we please talk another time?
I really have a terrible headache now.
I'm sure it's been a huge headache for Mr. Lee too.
There are times when similar plots get published around the same time.
But in this case, it's too similar.
Can you give me specific examples? In what ways are they similar?
Both stories take place at a lake.
The description of the murder case is identical.
As you know, the culprit in the real case got arrested.
In the novel, the case gets buried.
The same goes for the script.
And the culprits are high school kids from powerful families.
So the details of the murder are the same?
Yes, surprisingly so.
I'm not saying you copied his script. Don't get the wrong idea.
The two stories unfold differently later on.
Do you happen to know if Director Shin Kyung Chul...
went to Taekang High School?
Yes, I think so.
I remember reading about it in his magazine interview.

Where did he go?

Step back and place your card over the scanner.
Why doesn't this work?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Gosh. Why isn't he picking up?
Hey, Lee Kang San... I mean, Lee Ki Jeok. Where are you?
Is my surname Lee?
That's not important. Where are you now?
You don't even know your way around. Where are you going?
I can use my phone to navigate.
I've got an appointment.
I have to meet someone.
Who do you have to meet?
Do you think I have no one to meet?
- Who is this person? - Just someone.
- Who is it? - It's none of your business.
That girl?
No.
It must be her.
I'll pay you back later.

You can make a composite sketch of what he'd look like now, right?
Who is he?
Could you please do it for me?
For you, anything.
Thank you.
Yes.
No Myung Nam's phone is off.
Okay. We found his car in the area.
I'll head back now. We'll talk in the office.
(Korea Crime Scene Investigation)
Hello, Park Hyun Soo speaking.
I didn't kill him.
Mr. No Myung Nam?
Is this Mr. No Myung Nam?
I didn't kill him.
I didn't kill anyone.
Let's talk in person.
I'll go to where you are.
I won't fall for it this time.
I won't fall for the same trick twice.
I'll trust you. I believe you.
So let's meet. If you run away like this, they'll suspect you...
What are you thinking?
Why must you dig up a closed case...
instead of working on what you've been assigned to?
- The thing is... - The higher-ups and the media...
are pressuring me while my staff aren't helping. I'm so stressed out.
What are you up to?
Aren't you a member of the team?
Do you think everyone's beneath you?
You must tell me what you're working on!
I was going to tell you, sir.
When? After I die?
The Sopyung Lake case from 27 years ago was...
the motive behind Shin Kyung Chul and Jeon Doo Hyun's cases.
What do you mean? Care to elaborate?
I'll explain.
(Violent Crime Unit Team 3)
The case from 27 years ago was manipulated and concealed,
and it was the motive behind the murders of Shin and Jeon?
Yes. The real culprit and Chairman Lee Tae Man,
who was in the photo found in Jeon Doo Hyun's pocket...
Hey, get out.
- Captain. - I told you to get out.
Yes, sir.
Byung Man.
You realize what this means, right?
Byun Jong Il, a former police detective who's now an assemblyman,
manipulated and buried the case...
as per the request of some powerful people,
and I was an accomplice in it.
Seriously, why are you being like this?
You shouldn't do this without evidence.
I was in charge of the case.
I'm not too sure about other things,
but it's highly likely that No Myung Nam wasn't the real culprit.
Wait.
No Myung Nam killed Shin Kyung Chul and Jeon Doo Hyun?
Based on what he said when he called Detective Park,
I believe it wasn't him.
But he fled.
Why flee if he's innocent?
I'm not sure.
Anyway, the case from 27 years ago...
is the key to solving this case. I'm sure of it.
Regardless of whether it's true or not,
you know what will happen if this gets leaked.
The entire police force will be criticized.
A few high-ranking officers will have to resign.
Including me.
You might have to resign before the investigation even begins!
Byung Man.
The statute of limitations has expired, so let's just leave it...
and catch the culprit in this case. Okay?
To catch the culprit, we must dig up the buried past first.
If we do this without solid evidence,
we'll be the ones getting hurt. You know that.
Right, so we must find evidence.
How? I'm sure it's all gone as 27 years have passed!
- Man Bok. - What?
I'm retiring next year.
My point, exactly!
You should retire honourably.
You did nothing but work so hard for decades.
Why ruin your reputation which you worked so hard to build?
I don't care about my reputation.
Byung Man!
I don't want to have regrets when I die.
So help me investigate the case properly this time.
Only then can we stop the killing.
You'd like to meet Dong Ju?
He's the company's rising star.
I want to encourage him.
Well, don't worry about it.
Besides, he's not established enough for a one-on-one with you.
Actually,
he was going to submit it to a contest,
but I happened to read it...
and thought it was good, so we published it.
I thought he brought it to you.
Well, I suggested we publish it.
I started reading it without expecting anything,
and it was better than I thought.
We'll have to see his next work to find out...
if this was his talent...
or if he came to write it by pure luck.
I need to meet this man, Yuk Dong Ju.
What are you up to?
Mr. Yuk uploaded an uncanny post.
An uncanny post?
"What's the ending you want?"
"Light or darkness?"
"Kai, which side is it?"
What is this?
What do you think?
The writer's touching effort to communicate with his readers.
This isn't communication. This is masturbation.
Only those who understand have the ability to interpret this,
so it does require some imagination.
You've been too cheeky lately.
I've become a big star now.
Try showing some humility while you live as a star.
And "Dong Ju's Letter to Sky"?
Man, how ancient is this?
Do you think a message in a bottle is something trendy?
Take it down.
This damages faith in your name and will drop the sales.
Hemingway once completed a novel with just six words.
"For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn."
Forget it.
Hey, my older brother wants to meet, so make time tomorrow.
Why does your brother want to meet me?
- He wants to show his support. - His support?
Make sure you're dressed sharp. And don't make any mistakes.
Sounds like a blind date.
Do you have any idea who you're about to meet?
It's Chairman Lee Tae Man of Taekang Group.
Yes, so why does the big-name chairman of Taekang Group...
want to meet a petty...
(Son of a business tycoon?)
He's showing you a special favour...
because you're my friend.
Stop playing hard to get and just come.
(Managing Director Lee Myung Seok)
Are you listening?
So your brother...
read my novel, right?
Stop changing the subject and make sure you come.
Do you think I'll come and go as I'm told?
And I'm a little sick.
You know, I'm feverish, and I'm coughing too.
I'm either laid up with fatigue or have caught a cold.
Then take some medicine.
Anyway, I have my own schedule too,
so I'll check that and call back. Hang up now.
(Son of a business tycoon?)
Lee Tae Man.
I think it's somewhere around here.

(Young Man from the Hospital)
I think I'm nearby, but I don't see it.
What do you see?
I'm in front of the playground.
And I see Misoeum Café nearby.
I see a church too.
It's not too far from the church.
Is it...
What's wrong?
Open the door.
Open it.
Let us go, please.
(The Bible)
(Cheonyoung Church)
Hello?
Young man?
(Café Book)
(Young Man from the Hospital)
Man, that feels nice.
Gosh.
This is...
Sir, where is this?
Excuse me.
(Sopyung Lake Trail)
How did I end up here?
(Hot water for villas by Sopyung Lake...)
The Sopyung Lake case from 27 years ago is...
the beginning of all these cases.
The victim, Jeon Doo Hyun, was the witness from 27 years ago,
and he said No Myung Nam was the culprit.
No Myung Nam was released 2 years ago after serving 25 years,
and we've been after his whereabouts.
The four were all from affluent families.
Their parents had both money and power,
so they used Jeon Doo Hyun, the fake witness,
to turn No Myung Nam, a homeless man, into the culprit.
The real witness was someone else.
- He's currently missing... - There was a witness?
A young man came to see me while we were under investigation.
His name is Lee Ha Neul.
He went to high school with all these men.
Let me ask you a question.
What's the reason you're so sure that they're the real culprits...
and that the case from 27 years ago was covered up?
The culprit who killed Shin Kyung Chul and Jeon Doo Hyun...
left a message on the scene.
One of the messages was a photo of these four on Jeon Doo Hyun's body.
And that's all your evidence for claiming they're the culprits?
That's not all.
You shouldn't mention the novel for a while.
It'll only make them suspicious.
I'll share the other evidence...
once we find the dead body of the missing Na Sang Woo.
Once we find the dead body?
I have a feeling where the body may be.
I request backup.
I'll find it within two days.
(Violent Crime Unit Team 3)
- Can you do it? - Yes.
I think I know where the culprit chose to bury the body.
Hey, Ki Jeok!
I thought you had to meet someone.
Why are you here?
No idea.
Who would know if you didn't?
Exactly.
Then how did you end up here?
I was somewhere else,
but I found myself here when I came to myself.
Did you just come randomly?
You didn't see or hear anything?
I think my memories are slowly returning.
(Sopyung Lake Trail)
I don't remember this place,
but it doesn't feel strange.
My memories are all chopped up, so I can't connect the dots yet.
But my memories are coming back.
I see. That's a relief.
Oh, and Dong Ju.
Yes?
Why are you suddenly talking to me politely?
Right? I suddenly did that.
You seemed like an adult.
Did you say...
your father passed away a long time ago?
Yes. Why?
I remembered meeting him.
What?
I have no idea why I have such memories.
How could I have met someone who had already passed away?
What was it of?
Many things.
Such as?
The backpack that you lost.
Your father gave it to me.
Wait, my dad...
gave you a backpack?
It's in my memories,
but it doesn't make sense.
Wait, you really remember my dad giving you a backpack?
Yes.
He told me not to trust anyone.
Don't trust anyone.
Do not go to the children's home.
Hurry up and go. Now.
It really doesn't make any sense,
but I think that was the day I got into the car accident.
My memories must be making all kinds of mistakes.
How could I have met someone who had already passed away?
Dong Ju Bookstore.
I met him there.
(Year 1995)
Seoul District Court held...
a trial on the collapse...
of Sampoong Department Store on June 29.
The prosecution summoned Chairman Lee Jun...
and President Lee Han Sang of Sampoong...
(Dong Ju Bookstore)
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
- Wait for me! - Wait!
This is Dong Ju Bookstore.
One second, please.
Goodness.
Dong Ju, don't go too far.
Hello?
Ha Neul, is that you?
It's you, Ha Neul.
Ha Neul.
Sir.
What happened to you?
What's going on?
Ha Neul, are you listening?
Ha Neul.
I don't know what's going on,
but no matter what it is, it's all right.
Everything will be fine.
So don't worry and tell me.
Nothing in this world is impossible to resolve.
You can share it with me, okay?
I don't care what it is.
I'll help you.
Let me help you.
You need to think of Kang San.
You love your brother dearly.
How come you disappeared without a word?
Sir.
Yes.
Tell me.
I have a favour to ask of you.
You're the only one...
I can trust.
The train is approaching.
Please wait behind...
(The train bound for Gui Station is approaching.)
I met your father at Dong Ju Bookstore.
- He gave me the backpack there. - That's insane.
I know that it is.
Why are you suddenly bringing my dad into this?
Why did my dad have that backpack?
That's why I'm asking.
Why are you asking me?
How would I know something you don't? This is crazy.
Your father owned Dong Ju Bookstore, right?
The bookstore must be named after you.
Your family photo was taken in front of the bookstore too.
That's not what's important right now.
Why is my dad suddenly in the picture?
This is driving me insane.
My dad wasn't one of the characters.
If he was, I would've known.
The bookstore.
What do you mean?
Stay here.
Sopyung Lake?
Yes.
I'm sure Na Sang Woo's body is in Sopyung Lake.
What's your ground?
If you give me backup, I'll make sure I find it.
It's not that easy to search through the lake.
And if you're that sure, you must have a reason.
Was that what the novel said?
That he was buried in the lake?
What do you mean, the novel?
I wanted to share that later...
in case I cause a misunderstanding...
Everything Detective Park said thus far is...
from a novel.
("The Almighty Is Dead")
The bookstore. Hold on. The bookstore.
The bookstore.
Open the door.
The bookstore.
(I headed to the bookstore.)
What are you doing?
("The Almighty Is Dead")
But there's nothing about my dad.
Or the backpack.
Or the missing younger brother.
What are you doing?
Right.
He couldn't write it.
When Dad gave the backpack to Lee Kang San,
the manuscript was already in the backpack.
Kai couldn't have known...
what happened after that.
He couldn't write it.
The first act of the novel is Lee Ha Neul's personal account...
of the Sopyung Lake case.
The second act is Kai's plan of revenge.
My dad's story is...
between Act 1 and Act 2.
The hidden story that even Kai doesn't know.
(Miraculous Brothers)
Where are we going?
It wasn't an error in your memories. It's an error in time.
Hold tight. Back to the future.
There is no coincidence in this world.
It's telling us the truth that was buried 27 years ago.
Our job is to investigate...
if there is even a tad bit of possibility!
Why do you think Jeon Doo Hyun died?
You know this very well.
Money.
You're hiding something from me.
I have an older brother!
I must find him!
Put your hands on your head. Slowly.
This isn't a novel.
A novel can't catch up with reality.
- I saw it. - You witnessed it?
Why can't my brother see or hear anything?
You already wrote out what happened at Sopyung Lake 27 years ago...
in your novel!
You said you'd understand no matter what I said, right?
