Hye Ran.
Hye Ran?
Tae... Tae Wook.
Oh...
Now that I have time to rest, I don't really know what to do.
I thought I would read a book.
What about you, Tae Wook?
Oh, I left something behind.
Oh, really?
Find it and get going.
I thought you might need it.
Oh.
Thank you.
What are you doing tonight?
Do you want to go out for dinner?
No, I want to rest today.
Just read and listen to music.
All right. Do that, then.
Okay, I will.
I'll come back after work.
[Episode 15: Desperately Hoping]
What's with you?
Why don't you stop now?
My husband is dead.
The ruling was that it was just an accident.
For the past 10 years...
you have no idea how I lived, do you?
You have no idea how I suffered and the humiliation I endured.
Lee Jae Young and I...
went through so much and you have no idea.
An accident?
Don't make me laugh.
Lee Jae Young would never die so easily.
Not guilty verdict.
I can't accept that.
I will not accept that trial.
What will you do if you don't?
Will anything change?
I'm going to make make her miserable.
Hye Ran may have fooled the entire world...
but I won't be fooled.
The whole world may have forgiven Hye Ran...
I won't forgive her.
Hye Ran didn't do anything wrong.
It was always those who misunderstood Hye Ran who made the problem worse.
You stupid fool.
You have no idea that you're being used by Hye Ran.
You threw away your youth because of Hye Ran.
Yet, you still have feelings for her?
Pull yourself together, you idiot.
Seriously.
Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
That's enough.
What if I say no?
What if I won't stop? What will you do if I can't stop?
Are you saying you'll kill me? Is that what you're saying?
Maybe.
What's with you?
Dong Hyun...
Don't tell me.
Was it you who did it?
Ha Myung Woo, did you do it?
For everyone, the first time is the hardest.
After that, the second and third...
It's not as hard as you think, Eun Joo.
So, stop it now.
Crazy punk.
Ha Myung Woo, you crazy punk!
Oh, I left something behind.
It's a coincidence... a coincidence.
It was a coincidence that he drove there at that time.
It was a coincidence.
Would you like to pay it?
Yes.
Yes. It's all done.
Thank you.
Hello.
Is this Go Hye Ran?
Yes, it is.
This is the prosecutor's office.
We are interviewing reference witnesses for Kevin Lee's car accident.
Can you tell us your name?
My name is Kang Tae Wook.
What is your occupation?
I am a lawyer.
I am a public defender.
How long have you been married to Go Hye Ran?
Seven years.
Is you relationship with your wife good?
I heard you went to meet your wife at the station on the day of the accident.
Is that correct?
Yes, it is.
Around what time was that?
I met her right after the news.
It would've been a little past 10 p.m.
Were you with her the whole time after that?
Sorry.
I still have a meeting to go to.
I have to go.
No.
Around what time did Go Hye Ran arrive home?
I do not know.
I had to work that night, so I was in my office.
I stayed there all night.
You stayed in your office all night?
Yes, he was in the office when I got there.
When he has a lot of work to do, he often spends the night there.
What time was it when you arrived at work?
Let me see.
The morning news was airing the story about Kevin Lee, so...
it would've been past 7 a.m.
The accident occurred between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m.
The office manager saw him in the office after 7 a.m.
Senior, the prosecutor's office called.
I think it's about the sexual assault case from before.
Team Leader.
I'm saying this out of loyalty and love.
Let it go.
Kevin Lee died unexpectedly in a car accident.
The trial ruled it that way, as well.
A man left the scene of the accident on the first bus.
No one knows if that was Kang Tae Wook or a random Mister Kim.
That's why we need to find out!
Was it Kang Tae Wook or some random Mister Kim?
I said the prosecutors called.
All right! I'm going now.
You can write your information here and take it back.
Can I speak to you one more time?
About that brooch.
Why was that in Kevin Lee's car?
I can make sense of other things, but not that.
Do you still suspect me?
Honestly, the reason I suspected you was...
because of that brooch.
Why in the world...
would that be in his car?
Haven't you ever wondered why, Go Hye Ran?
I don't know.
Do you recall ever dropping that brooch anywhere?
No.
I don't remember that.
That means you had it safely on you when you got home.
Besides you, Go Hye Ran...
was there really no one home?
I believe I already told you during your questioning.
I was home alone that night.
No one was home.
I see.
Detective Kang Ki Joon.
You people have had two chances now.
When you arrested me and when you had me on trial.
You could not find any evidence either time.
That is because we thought you were the prime suspect.
During this investigation...
that was our biggest mistake.
So...
we lost the real culprit.
What do you mean by that?
What real culprit?
The person who framed you to look like the prime suspect.
Then safely hid in the background.
Someone who had access to your brooch.
Someone who is much closer to you than we thought.
The real culprit.
[Tae Wook]
Hello, Tae Wook.
Ah. It's me, Yoon Song Yi.
Hello.
Are you with my wife now?
- Yes, I am. - Hey, you all know, right?
Hye Ran is treating today. Go Hye Ran is treating.
Let's all enjoy this.
Cheers, everyone!
Cheers!
We're having a drink with some staff and colleagues.
Do you want to talk to Hye Ran?
No, don't ruin her fun.
It's fine as long as she's with you.
Look at him. Just look at him.
He hasn't been drinking this whole time.
You were this way since you were a rookie. Are you still like this?
I'm just full. I'm full.
Full?
- What's wrong with you? - All right. I'll drink.
Drink!
Everyone, drink!
Drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink, drink!
Black rose.
Give it to me.
What is this?
This is weird.
Go, Ji Won.
You two eat together lately...
Do you want to come too, Tae Wook? It's very fun here.
That's fine.
Tell her to call me when she's done.
I'll pick her up.
All right. I'll do that.
Hey, you lucky girl.
That was your husband.
Oh!
He says to call when you're done. He'll come pick you up.
I don't envy anything else about Go Hye Ran.
I really do envy you for Kang Tae Wook.
Yes, me too.
Lawyer Kang is really handsome.
Why don't we do a fact check right now?
Is Lawyer Kang Tae Wook handsome or is Reporter Kwak more handsome?
Lawyer Kang! Oh, I'm sorry, Reporter Kwak.
It's all right.
I also vote for Lawyer Kang.
No, no. Your vote's not important.
Ji Won, how about you?
Gosh. You're so childish, Senior.
Childish? I'm childish?
- It is childish. - She says I'm childish.
I've been to loving to you guys.
The way you treat your senior... wow.
- Team Leader Woong. - Huh?
You're not supposed to talk so much when you drink with juniors.
Just drink.
Okay.
If that's what you say, then I will just drink.
Okay, okay.
Let's drink, everyone.
Cheers to Go Hye Ran, everyone!
Cheers!
Look at this guy.
I'm drinking. I'm drinking.
You're drinking? There was nothing in your cup.
No, I was drinking.
He's acting weird. They're both weird.
What is this? I couldn't even drink because of you.
Must I be driving around a woman with a husband at this age?
What's wrong anyway?
You're not having problems with Tae Wook, are you?
Are you really not going to tell me?
I just don't know.
Don't know what?
Who Kang Tae Wook is.
Go Hye Ran, are you all right?
What are you saying?
What do you mean, you don't know who Kang Tae Wook is?
She is out cold.
She suddenly told everyone who could come out, to come out this afternoon.
She said she would treat everyone.
Then she passed out.
I guess she felt like drinking or something.
Tae Wook.
Nothing's wrong with you and Hye Ran, right?
Did Hye Ran say something?
No, I was just wondering.
Hye Ran... Hye Ran.
You're home. You should get out.
Oh... Tae Wook.
I can walk fine on my own. I'm fine.
Are you okay, Hye Ran?
No, really...
No, I'm really fine.
I'm fine alone. I really am.
Did they get into a big fight?
They won the trial. What's there to fight about?
I said I'm fine. I'm fine.
I said I'm okay. I'm fine.
I'm sorry.
I just...
I just want to be alone. Sorry.
Besides you, Go Hye Ran, was there really no one home?
The person who framed you to look like the prime suspect.
Then safely hid in the background.
Someone who is much closer to you than we thought.
The real culprit.
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband. She is Guilty.]
Good morning.
Hello.
- Hello. - Good morning.
Woong.
- Woong. - Huh.
Oh, yes.
- You must've slept here. - Oh, Director.
You know that woman holding the sigh outside?
- Yes. - That's Kevin Lee's wife, right?
Yes, security has tried to get rid of her several times.
They've spoken to her and tried to make her understand.
She just won't listen though.
The trial is over and it's game over, so I don't know why she's doing it.
- Wake up. - Yes, okay.
What? Me?
[Yoon Song Yi] Yes, go and hear her out.
- Here's the sample. - Okay.
Director.
I don't work for JBC anymore.
That's why I'm you as a favor.
You're a source women like.
What is it that you want?
What do I want?
I always just want news.
All right. Thank you. Okay.
Gosh, Go Hye Ran won't be happy when she finds out.
I'm Reporter Yoon Song Yi from the magazine "Women."
A reporter?
It seems like you have something to say.
Can I hear you out?
Drink up.
You must be tired from standing all day.
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband.]
Go Hye Ran's case ended with a not guilty verdict.
Can I ask you why you are doing this?
I have to speak the truth.
That way, my dead husband can rest in peace.
What is the truth in your opinion, Seo Eun Joo?
Go Hye Ran killed my husband.
Is there a specific reason you think that?
The black box chip from Hye Ran's car...
was in my possession.
The black box chip that disappeared from Go Hye Ran's car?
Then why didn't you hand it over to the prosecutors as evidence?
Kang Tae Wook got rid of it.
What?
A person who calls himself a lawyer, destroyed evidence.
What do you think that means?
Was there evidence on there of Go Hye Ran murdering Kevin Lee?
There wasn't any direct footage.
Nonetheless, the two of them were together in Hye Ran's car.
The story doesn't quite fit.
What do you mean?
Go Hye Ran's brooch was found in your husband's car.
But, they were together in Go Hye Ran's car.
Something about it doesn't make sense.
Well...
Hye Ran could have dropped it while moving to my husband's car.
Someone could have...
dropped it there on purpose.
About Lawyer Kang...
the black box chip that he got rid of
what was on it?
Can you tell me in detail?
[Reporter Yoon Song Yi]
Yes. What is it?
Oh... nothing's wrong, right?
Why?
Should something be wrong?
Can you come out?
Or should I come over to your house?
What is this about?
I have something to tell you.
Once we became stars after the Kevin Lee case
I thought we would be able to sit and eat nice meals.
It's just cup ramen again.
We don't have time.
I know so what's the point of being a star lawyer.
With no clients, you have no money. When you have clients, no time.
In the end, it's cup ramen again.
So depressing.
See? Success isn't much different, right?
I guess so.
So, why don't we go back to before?
Then I can eat my ramen in peace, at least.
Oh yeah. Detective Kang Ki Joon came by this morning.
He didn't come looking for me, but he was in the parking lot out front.
- You worked the night of the 18th? - Yes.
Do you remember what time
Lawyer Kang Tae Wook returned to the office?
It was the night that it snowed a lot.
I don't know. I can't remember.
First, he bothered Anchor Go Hye Ran.
Now, he's bothering you.
They determined it was an accident. Why does he insist it was murder?
It's not some sort of conspiracy they're plotting, is it?
Don't worry about it.
Let's just do our jobs.
All right.
[Reporter Yoon Song Yi]
Hello?
Oh, isn't this Yoon Song Yi's phone?
Ah, how do you know Yoon Song Yi?
I'm her friend.
Sorry, but who are you?
This is the hospital.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- Where's the Intensive Care Unit? - Over there.
Thank you.
You can't visit right now.
Let's talk.
What happened?
Police think she was robbed.
But, they didn't touch her bag or belongings.
Did you happen to talk about anything with her over the phone?
She just told me she needed to talk to me and that's why she was coming over.
That's all.
Why? Is there something you know, Director?
She actually went to see Seo Eun Joo earlier today.
What are you talking about?
Why would she see Seo Eun Joo?
I asked her to do it.
Why?
She's been protesting at the station, saying you killed her husband.
I thought someone should hear her out.
But, why would you ask Reporter Yoon? Why?
Someone who would take your side should hear it.
Then she can cover and expose whatever is necessary.
I showed you everything. I told you everything, Director.
What more were you curious about? What more did you want to find out?
You acted like you were on my side.
Were you thinking that maybe I did kill Lee Jae Young?
Is that why you sent Reporter Yoon to see what more Seo Eun Joo knew?
Lower your voice. This is a public place.
You're the one making me angry, Director!
Honestly, Detective Kang Ki Joon came by the station last night.
The night you went to meet Kevin Lee...
he knew that Kang Tae Wook came by the station.
What about you?
Do you know what I'm going through with this?
Do you even see how insanely hard I'm trying to understand you?
What about it?
That night, Tae Wook came to see me.
What does that have to do with Kevin Lee?
When you exclude Go Hye Ran...
I am looking for the most likely suspect.
Are you suggesting that it is Go Hye Ran's husband?
He came to see his wife at the station.
Suppose he witnessed her meeting another man.
What if he saw Go Hye Ran and Kevin Lee meeting outside?
It just happens that Kevin Lee died early that morning.
If Go Hye Ran did not do it...
who is the prime suspect?
Do you think that actually makes sense, Director?
- It's not nonsense. - No.
It makes no sense whatsoever.
- Kang Tae Wook would never do that. - Never.
People like that don't exist.
People who you think would never do it are actually very selfish.
They can do terrible things just to save themselves.
You know that better than anyone.
The one who exposes those people and reports them on the news...
is you, Go Hye Ran.
By chance...
though I know you don't want to think it.
If it happens to be that Kang Tae Wook was the one...
- Director! - There's enough there to suspect him.
Do you want to end all ties with me?
- Hye Ran. - Say one more word.
Then I really won't see you anymore.
No, I won't even treat you as a human being.
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband.]
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband. She is Guilty.]
You need to come talk to me.
I have nothing to say to you.
What did you say to Reporter Yoon?
Why are you curious about that?
As soon as she left you...
she got attacked on her way to see me.
She's unconscious and in the hospital. Do you know that?
What did you say to her?
- What the hell did you say that... - Kang Tae Wook.
Your husband.
We talked about your husband.
Also, I told her what I saw on the black box.
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband. She is Guilty.]
Honestly, I thought you killed Jae Young.
That's why I thought Kang Tae Wook deleted what was on the black box.
All to protect you.
But, Reporter Yoon had a different opinion.
Reporter Yoon.
What did she say?
How strange.
Why would he delete that?
If that was exposed to the world...
Hye Ran and my husband's affair would become truth.
He was afraid of that.
I'm sure that's true, but...
she would've been free of the murder charge, right?
What do you mean?
You said Go Hye Ran told Kevin Lee
that she wanted to remember him as a past love.
Why would she kill Kevin Lee after saying that?
Hye Ran was lying to just appease him.
Yes. But, why?
Why would she have bothered to lie...
to appease Kevin Lee?
She wanted to take care of it quietly.
Wasn't it because she wanted to end her relationship with him?
If so...
the black box would have been evidence that helped Go Hye Ran.
There's no way that Lawyer Kang didn't know that.
Why?
Why did he delete it?
Isn't that strange?
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband. She is Guilty.]
So, I thought about it.
Maybe...
the person who would suffer the most once that chip got out...
wouldn't be you, but Kang Tae Wook.
- No. - That man, Kang Tae Wook.
He cared more about hiding his shame than showing his wife's innocence.
No... no. He's not like that.
I'm sure that's what you'd like to believe.
Those feelings...
I know all about them.
However, in the end, Kang Tae Wook
was just a man full of jealousy.
He just wanted to make himself look more gentle, isn't that right?
You...
Do you want to bother me that much?
Then go ahead and do so.
However, Kang Tae Wook...
Don't speak about him carelessly or make false accusations.
Don't make things up.
That man...
was with someone like me.
He was the only person to wait and endure so long.
He understands me better than I understand myself.
He was on my side. Do you know that?
Don't talk about him that way.
You're not a person who has that right. Don't speak of him that way.
Really?
A person like that...
and you turned him into a murderer, in the end.
Just like you did to Myung Woo, 19 years ago.
Now, it's your husband.
Isn't that right?
[Go Hye Ran Killed My Husband. She is Guilty.]
I don't think I need to do this anymore.
You look miserable enough.
Oh yeah.
I think you're mistaken about something.
Reporter Yoon didn't go to see you right after she left.
She went to see someone else.
Oh yeah.
I think you're mistaken about something.
Reporter Yoon didn't go to see you right after she left.
She went to see someone else.
Are you busy right now?
I wanted to meet and talk to you.
Yes, Tae Wook.
I'll see you there. Yes.
Are you curious about what happened to Yoon Song Yi?
Go ask your husband.
If you want a break, you can look at resorts or villas.
If you want a tour...
I don't need a tour.
I'm leaving to get some rest.
Oh, then when would you like to depart?
When is the earliest date possible?
Ah, one minute.
Let's go on vacation.
Vacation?
We've never gone on one in the seven years we've been married.
You finally took time off work.
Let's just go anywhere, just the two of us, and rest.
Yeah. Let's do that.
Where should we go?
Where do you want to go?
Somewhere warm.
A place where I don't have to think and I can just relax.
I want to hear the ocean too.
Sounds good.
A place we don't know, where it can be just the two of us.
Okay.
Let's go somewhere like that.
I think it's possible to leave this weekend.
You only have four days though. Will that be okay?
What do you think?
Should I book the flights and hotel?
Yes, do it.
Please give me something for headaches.
Here you go.
About that brooch.
Why was that in Kevin Lee's car?
[Eun Joo]
Besides you, Go Hye Ran, was there really no one home?
It's a gift for my wife.
My wife is pregnant.
I can't go through auditions with morning sickness.
They wouldn't use an anchor with a pregnant belly either.
She dropped it when we were together earlier.
We both had our mind on other things.
It's your brooch.
Kevin Lee told me to give it to you.
[January 18: CUPR]
[Coat, shoes]
No.
No, it can't be.
No.
It can't be.
No... no.
No.
Hye Ran.
Was it you?
It wasn't, was it?
Hurry up and tell me it wasn't you.
It wasn't you.
There's no way you would do that.
Tell me.
You didn't do it.
Let's go on a vacation, Hye Ran.
Let's go somewhere where no one knows us.
Lee Jae Young.
You... you killed him?
Hye Ran.
Tell me.
Did you kill Lee Jae Young?
Tell me! Tell me!
Did you kill Lee Jae Young?
Yes.
Kang Tae Wook, you...
What have you done to me?
[Misty]
I have...
killed a person.
They say the real killer has appeared for the Kevin Lee case.
None of this is your fault.
Everyone lives their own lives.
This is all your fault, Go Hye Ran.
[Seo Eun Joo] It was you.
This whole thing started with you, not Hye Ran.
Tae Wook didn't say anything to you?
Lawyer Kang would never do such a thing.
He's a murderer?
My wife? Family?
What a joke.
Where are you right now?
This is the truth.
I loved you.
