Excuse me. Did you find anything?
No, it's clean.
Couldn't even find a partial fingerprint.
- Sunbaenim. - Yes.
There's only one CCTV near the entrance, but it's broken.
But it was captured on CCTV on a big street a little away from here.
The time it was captured was 9:07 p.m.
- Anyone else in the car? - We can't confirm that.
Shit.
Is he the one who called in?
Yes, he's a manager of the property.
He found him when he stopped by in the morning.
Start questioning him. Look for more CCTVs nearby, too.
Got it, sir.
I heard he was Seo Jae Won's husband.
Well, yes. What's the cause of death?
I think it was poison.
There's a sign he vomited.
But I think he was forced to take it since his wrist has a strap mark.
You mean it was a foul play.
Yes. Aigoo. He must've been in pain the moment he died.
It appears he died at 1:42 a.m.
He had a smartwatch.
What a great world.
It checks your pulse 24-7.
It tells you when your heart stops, too.
I'm sure that's not why he bought it.
Hey, check in the back, too.
[Secretary Kim]
[105 missed calls. 87 text messages]
- Who's this- - Ms. Seo Jae Won.
Hold her.
You're under arrest for the murder of Heo Sun Yeong.
You have the right to remain silent. You have the right to an attorney.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
[My Happy Ending]
Where were you, and what were you doing on the morning of the 26th between 1 and 3 a.m.? [Episode 10]
You went to the hotel room past 4 a.m.
You purchased pesticides recently, right?
We found pesticide in the water bottle in the vehicle.
Don't you understand what I'm saying?
Mr. Heo Sun Yeong was poisoned.
It was banned from sale because it's highly poisonous and has no color or odor.
You purchased it through your father's acquaintance, who runs a pesticide company, right?
We already got his testimony, too.
He said you bought it in person.
Why did you buy pesticides?
Why does a CEO of a company need it?
And it looks like your mother was sent to
the ER after taking pesticide. Is that correct?
Ms. Seo Jae Won.
Ms. Seo, will you keep refusing to answer? Huh?
What?
Ms. Seo's attorney is here.
Geez...
I'm Ms. Seo's attorney.
How did it go?
It's not looking good.
A highly poisonous pesticide was found in the water bottle Mr. Heo used.
And there's a record of Ms. Seo purchasing the pesticide with the same ingredients.
She won't say why she purchased it or what she used it for. So, there's no way to know.
The bigger issue is that it'd be difficult to prove her alibi when the incident happened.
Got it.
I'll look into it, too. Please look for a solution.
We can't let her in there for long.
There will be an article on CEO Seo tomorrow.
Article?
It's regarding her mental illness, apparently.
Looks like they'll tie it to the murder case and drop a bombshell.
Which news company is it?
There's a reporter named Choi Do Hun who's been chasing after CEO Seo.
You couldn't even stop a reporter? What have you been doing?
You should've told us about that sooner.
What will you do now?
That's enough.
Are you all confident?
Can you handle Dereve without Seo Jae Won?
To convince the investors on CEO Seo's side,
we'll have to access the ledger or request a copy of it.
You think they'll be willing to give it to us?
We'll have to request an injunction if they refuse.
The sales have dropped significantly recently, and the brand image has been damaged, too.
The court will accept it if we prove that her ability to run a business needs to be questioned.
I'll prepare a shareholders' meeting as soon as possible.
Because CEO Seo didn't create Dereve on her own.
They want to fire the CEO?
I heard they'll have a shareholders' meeting soon, replace the directors who support Ms. Seo,
and request to modify the bylaws.
Where's Director Park right now?
How's Ms. Seo doing?
Director Park.
What are you doing right now?
What the hell have you been doing?
We need to save the company first.
Are you saying the company will crumble because of Ms. Seo?
Everyone's talking about that on the news and the internet.
"Dereve's CEO, Seo Jae Won, was arrested as a suspect in a murder."
How long do you think we could last at this rate?
The powerless employees are the first to suffer the damage when the sales go down.
- I don't think Ms. Seo wants that, either. - I see.
That's why you went to see the chairman first and foremost to remove her, right?
Team Leader Yun!
She'll be acquitted soon.
Don't act rashly.
The investigation will continue tomorrow morning.
Let me know if you need anything before you're sent to the holding cell.
Is he really dead?
Pardon?
Is my husband...
really dead?
Oppa.
Will you keep refusing to eat?
I know you're upset, but you need to eat at times like this.
Later. I'll eat later.
Watch Ah Rin for a bit, then.
I'll stop by next door real quick.
Okay.
His husband even tried to leak her company's design.
I think that's enough for the murder motive.
If she planned the murder using pesticide...
Seo Jae Won, who was arrested for the murder of her husband while awaiting the divorce lawsuit,
just finished being investigated by the police.
The police are remaining silent about releasing the arrest warrant.
Seo Jae Won has yet to...
make a statement regarding the case. [Seo Jae Won arrested, under investigation for murdering her husband]
- Grandpa. - Hey.
Why did you get up?
Just because.
You can't sleep?
When's Dad coming back?
Well...
How about Mom, then?
Grandpa, I want to go home.
I miss Mom and Dad.
Come here.
Aigoo...
Mom will...
come after you get some sleep.
She'll come for sure.
How are things going?
We'll determine the warrant's validity when the additional questioning ends tomorrow.
Do you know about Professor Heo and Kwon Yun Jin's relationship?
Of course I do.
We already confirmed her alibi, too.
She was at a bar when Mr. Heo was suspected to have died.
We got testimony from her friends, too.
Even if she wasn't at the scene,
she could've put pesticide in the water bottle earlier.
You said the inside of the car was cleaned after Mr. Heo died.
How will you explain not a single fingerprint in the car?
There might've been an accomplice or...
Where was Nam Tae Ju that day?
Wow. You're really taking this too far.
Do you have evidence?
And Detective Nam was with me that day.
Anyway, I'm done talking. You're on your own now.
Also, don't call me for stuff like this from now on.
Geez...
Geez, how did you know I was here?
Why do you keep reporting him about every little thing?
This is all your fault.
I got involved with him because of Baek Seung Gyu.
Shit, you think that's all my fault?
No, it's not that...
I'm just saying I'm put in a spot.
Did you find anything else?
Well, we didn't find anything definitive.
I told Yun Te Oh that you have an alibi like you asked me to.
Good work.
By the way, how much are you involved in this?
The factory property where this case happened is where your cold case happened.
By chance...
It can't be, right?
You think I killed him?
I mean...
Do you think Seo Jae Won killed her husband?
Just look at how the situation is going.
Anyone would say Seo Jae Won is the culprit.
Sunbaenim, what do you think about it?
I don't know. We'll find out eventually.
By the way, [Physical evidence]
Heo Sun Yeong's phone is missing from the list of belongings.
Was it never there?
She must've gotten rid of it if it was a premeditated murder.
You think Seo Jae Won did that?
- All done? - Yes, it's done.
Carry on, then.
I heard there has been a commotion.
Would the minister hearing go okay?
Mr. Kim is very worried about it.
It won't be an issue.
I will not let you lose face for recommending me.
Of course.
You have to watch out for even a falling leaf right now.
By the way, why are you trying to shake the tree yourself?
What do you mean by that?
I'm talking about CEO Seo Jae Won.
What's the reason you took care of her yourself?
I learned about it from the news, too.
Chairman Kwon,
you're ready to become a politician now.
You have a good poker face, unlike your father.
If you've decided to abandon the sword you've been using,
make sure to break it properly.
A rusty sword hurts the most.
Police Chief.
I suppose you came to say hello to him, too.
Yes. Looks like you beat me to it.
Let's have a gathering soon.
Sounds good.
I don't like your questioning like this without clear evidence.
So, I'm asking where she was at the time.
How many times did I tell you?
She fell asleep in the car since she didn't feel well that day.
And she went to the hotel when she woke up at night.
What are the odds? You mean she fell asleep with the car off, so the dash cam doesn't work.
And it had to be when Mr. Heo died.
Let's be honest. How do we know if she actually fell asleep
or parked the car somewhere and killed someone?
You even prepared for a divorce lawsuit with him recently.
Why would you ask us that?
And the divorce is separate from this case. Don't speculate.
The sale of pesticides was banned, but you can easily get them from the manufacturer. You know, right?
That's why I'm asking her to say something.
Why did you buy the pesticide?
What did you use it for?
Why did I not know?
I could've known easily. Easily...
H-How come I didn't notice it?
Since when...
Since when, since when, since when?
How did it go?
It's frustrating because Ms. Seo won't say why she bought the pesticide.
She needs to talk so I can do something.
I don't know why she's remaining silent.
Did they find additional evidence?
Not yet. I think the detective is forcing it since they don't have conclusive evidence.
We can look forward to her being released soon for lack of evidence.
How's she right now? She's okay, right?
I'm not sure how to describe this.
Ms. Seo Jae Won...
is kind of strange right now.
Did she have medicine in her possession?
Medicine?
What medicine?
Never mind.
Gosh, why do you think she's doing that?
I'm not sure.
I heard she requested to have a visitor. Did you hear?
What?
Jae Won, are you okay?
It was that day seven years ago.
I definitely saw it at the event venue, too. Why didn't I think of that?
It was definitely there when I received a basket of flowers. Yes.
Seo Jae Won...
I'll leave now.
It's you, isn't it?
Ami.
Why didn't I know?
You've always...
been by my side.
You desired what I had.
In order to take what I had,
you've been circling around my family and me.
Since seven years ago and until now.
What are you talking about?
Ami?
What's that, anyway?
You're the one...
who killed Sun Yeong, right?
Jae Won,
I know you're very sick,
but be careful what you say.
Who killed whom, exactly?
No, no, no...
I got all of my memories back.
Then, you also must know now.
Sun Yeong and I used to love each other-
You're always by Seo Jae Won's side without fail.
I can say the same about you.
You even used Baek Seung Gyu.
People are so imaginative.
Do they actually say I did that? Why would I?
You're making me even more curious.
What makes you so shameless like this?
Don't you know there's no going back anymore?
I was never interested in going back, to begin with.
Go inside.
Jae Won seems to be struggling a lot.
Make sure to comfort her a lot.
You're being released because of a lack of evidence.
Don't think you're acquitted yet.
Make sure to come when we call you for additional questioning.
Let's go.
Here she comes!
- It's Seo Jae Won! - Seo Jae Won's here.
Here she comes! Here she comes!
Excuse me.
Ms. Seo, do you admit to murdering your husband?
Why did you purchase the pesticide?
How do you feel right now?
I'll send out a press release. Please make a way.
Your daughter lost her dad.
Don't you feel bad for her?
Do you have any sense of guilt?
How do you feel?
Ms. Seo!
Where should we take you?
There are reporters at the office and at your house.
Same with the hotel.
Let's go to my place. That would be better.
How did I get out?
Because you didn't commit any crime.
I'll get going now, then.
Thank you, Secretary Kim.
I just did my job. Don't mention it.
Take good care of yourself, Ms. Seo.
Thanks a lot, Seong Hui.
I can stay at the studio. Don't worry about me.
I told my sister in advance, too.
What?
Do you not want to?
I miss Ah Rin.
♫ Doesn't matter after all ♫
My...
entire world was destroyed because of you.
I hated you so much that I wanted to kill you.
Did you know?
I might've actually wanted...
you not to get your memory back.
Because I thought I won't ever have this again.
You, me, and our Ah Rin.
The three of us spending time like this.
I should've trusted you until the end. But I couldn't.
I'm sorry.
Pull over for a second.
♫ Whatever the greeting ♫
I killed him.
No.
No...
Sun Yeong, no...
I killed you.
♫ I've been trying to find the reason why ♫
♫ I'm walking with a broken heart ♫
♫ Can make love scars just disappear? ♫
♫ But when I close my eyes ♫
Get some sleep if you're tired.
I'll wake you up when we arrive.
It's okay.
Do you need anything?
No.
Are you hungry, then?
♫ In the days I whispered ♫
Do you have water?
Yes. Just one second.
Here.
♫ Will you come around a while ♫
I was scared...
they might find out about my illness
since I didn't take the medicine in a while.
Can they not?
Why do you have to hide it?
It's not your fault.
Because I thought that was the way to protect myself.
You can leave now.
Thank you.
And I'm sorry again.
Don't think about anything and just rest today.
Don't watch TV.
Don't listen to others or have negative thoughts.
And don't be sick, either.
That's a lot.
I'm just saying.
I'm right here.
In front of you.
Drive safely.
Dad.
Jae-
J-Jae Won.
Aigoo, Jae Won.
Jae Won.
Wasn't it difficult to get here?
I'm sorry. It's my fault.
No, no. What are you talking about?
Let's go inside for now. Come on.
[Seo Yun Jin]
Here. [Seo Yun Jin]
Make sure to keep it for generations.
I made sure Baek Seung Gyu couldn't wake up for a while.
But it's unclear if we can continue since the hospital strengthened security.
Keep an eye on him.
Yes.
You don't exist in this world.
- You know, right? - Yes.
I can't stop looking at this.
It has mythological qualities to it.
Don't be pretentious and...
get to the point.
Straight to the point. I like that.
I like things that are straightforward, too.
Simple and clear.
But I can't stand it when people cut in without using a turn signal.
Just so you know.
I'm glad to hear that.
At least, we have one thing in common.
Okay. What should we do now?
Yun Te Oh is giving me a headache by poking around here and there.
I don't think I'll just let him do that anymore.
Just take care of Seo Jae Won. Just Seo Jae Won.
Don't touch Yun Te Oh.
Are you going to switch to him?
You'd better not...
cross the line, either.
Okay. I'll just do as I'm told.
If so... Here I go!
Where did she go?
Jae Won.
Jae Won!
- What brings you here? - Is there something wrong...
- Where's Ms. Seo? - She came last night.
But she disappeared this morning.
Stay at home. I'll look for her.
I'll look, too.
Jae Won.
How did it go?
I logged in with her ID just in case
and there was a card payment record. So I checked.
She just bought a bus ticket to Samcheok.
Okay. Got it.
Yun Jin.
Mom!
You waited for long, didn't you?
No.
Why are you smiling?
It's nothing. I'm just happy that you're smiling.
Here.
Get me a carton of milk at the store over there.
What kind of milk?
Strawberry milk. Your favorite.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
Here. Go ahead and drink it.
Go ahead.
Aren't you thirsty?
Hurry up and drink it.
It's your favorite.
Here.
It's my...
only wish.
Drink it.
I'm sorry.
But...
I couldn't help it.
Don't worry.
It'd be nothing once you get some sleep.
Mom.
I'm so sleepy.
There's a term called "tunnel vision."
A driver who's driving inside a dark tunnel
can't see anything but the light coming out of the exit he's heading toward.
The people who commit suicide often have tunnel vision.
They can't see their surroundings clearly because they're obsessed with the issue they're facing.
They end up thinking there's only one way to be free from pain.
Ending everything themselves.
They end up believing that's the only way to the exit by following the light.
♫ Only if I don't ♫
♫ In between the empty darkness ♫
♫ I wanna know. You blow in. ♫
♫ I wanna know ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can feel your touch. ♫
♫ A huge wave of memories are coming in ♫
Mom.
I'm cold.
Hang in there for a moment.
We'll soon...
have a happy ending.
♫ The conclusion that had stalled along with the truth ♫
♫ Would you look back to this moment then? ♫
♫ I wanna know. You blow in. ♫
Mom.
Is this really the happy ending?
♫ I'm not okay. I can feel your touch. ♫
♫ A huge wave of memories are coming in ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can hear your voice. ♫
♫ I picture us seeing each other in my dream ♫
♫ I'm left alone in the darkness ♫
♫ Looking for you, the light, and roam in the dream ♫
♫ I'm left alone in the darkness ♫
♫ Looking for you, the light ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can feel your touch. ♫
♫ A huge wave of memories are coming in ♫
♫ I'm not okay. I can hear your voice. ♫
♫ I picture us seeing each other in my dream ♫
Mom.
I won't forget...
that day and this ocean.
I won't run away.
Seo Jae Won!
What are you doing here?
Get off.
- Let's talk for a second. - I have nothing to say.
Don't disappear without a word again.
I won't hold back then.
I swear it's not like that.
I wasn't trying to die.
You should've answered my call, then.
Do you know how scared I was?
Don't do stuff like that.
I won't ask anything from you.
I won't even ask you to look at me. So...
So, please...
just don't disappear from my sight.
Let me ask you a favor, then.
Please take care of my Ah Rin.
What do you mean?
You're being serious again.
I can't always be next to her.
I don't know how the situation would change, either.
Please?
Are you in a bad mood today, Ah Rin?
Did something happen?
No.
Just tell me.
What happened?
- The thing is... - Yeah.
My teacher said your wish would come true if you prayed to the supermoon.
So, I prayed as hard as I could without even sleeping.
But it didn't come true.
I see. So, you were upset.
What did you pray for, Ah Rin?
Tell me.
I'll make sure it comes true.
I prayed to be together with you and Dad again.
Ah Rin, that's-
Mom, is Dad not coming back?
No.
It's not like that.
Can you please...
give me just a little more time?
I'll explain everything to you later.
Thank you.
Let's go. Thank you.
Let's go.
I said I'm fine.
You're sure you're okay, right?
Call me immediately if something happens.
Okay.
Long time no see, Nam Cheol.
I was surprised to hear from you out of the blue.
I know.
I didn't think I'd be calling you directly.
I wasn't so sure, actually.
Considering what happened to Sun Yeong and what the articles said,
I wasn't sure if I should be calling you or not.
What did you want to see me for?
Sun Yeong left this with me.
He asked me to hold on to it just in case.
Sun Yeong did?
I didn't check to see what's in it.
I thought that was the right thing to do.
Thank you.
I'll have a look at it.
But you know...
I'm not sure if I can tell you this, but...
Sun Yeong was looking for...
his daughter's biological father before he died.
[USB Drive]
[Audio file]
Father.
I need you to help me.
S-Seung Gyu...
Seung Gyu fell from the rooftop.
It couldn't be helped because he threatened to kill us both.
Is he dead?
I don't know.
Come home immediately.
Is it true the Busan store is closing?
You know that's the first Dereve store.
Ms. Seo put the most effort into that one.
So what?
The sales dropped the most there.
We might need to reduce the workforce if this doesn't work.
Ms. Seo is definitely coming back.
She wasn't acquitted yet
and everyone's still criticizing her.
How would she justify coming back?
[Is Seo Jae Won mentally ill? She displayed self-harm since her school days.]
Tell her if you get to meet her.
It might look better if she steps down herself.
We have to save the company, at least.
What are the directors's reactions?
They're feeling uneasy.
To be honest, it's not good.
The headlines have been so negative.
But they were already disapproved.
I know, but...
the issue is that it led to Dereve's decline in sales.
You know how the shareholders are.
They don't care who the CEO is as long as they make them money.
If that's the case, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
Would it be possible?
Ms. Seo might not be able to right now.
We should give it a try.
Chairman Kwon Yeong Ik is using Director Park
to get the shareholders to vote for your dismissal.
You need to decline the summon and try to come up with a solution-
Te Oh.
Yes.
Would declining mean anything?
You said there are articles about my illness, right?
They said they stopped Reporter Choi from publishing it.
What if they're right?
It's true that I'm causing harm to Dereve.
It's also true that I'm suffering from a mental illness.
The articles can come out anytime.
No, that won't happen.
I'll prevent it from now on.
Yes, Attorney.
Ms. Seo, the first autopsy report came out.
I heard Heo Sun Yeong's autopsy report came out.
Yes.
Here you go.
Shit.
Didn't the smartwatch say 1:42? [Autopsy Report]
Yes.
W-When did you get here?
The autopsy report says 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
How funny, right?
This is your share of Dereve's stock.
Attend the shareholders' meeting tomorrow.
You just need to do as I say.
Why don't you just do it on your own
instead of telling me, then?
Because you need to attend, at least.
Shouldn't you prove your worth now?
You abandoned your precious Seo Jae Won, too.
What would be the point for me to prove it?
You had everything just because you're my daughter.
Remember that everything you have comes from me.
[Dereve's First Shareholders' Meeting]
[Kwon Yeong Ik]
[Seo Jae Won]
What are you doing here?
Didn't you know I'm Dereve's shareholder?
I'm a shareholder of this company, thanks to my capable father.
How does it feel?
You killed the man you loved, framed your friend,
and you have her company now.
Yeah.
I feel great.
Because I'd be seeing Seo Jae Won getting kicked out of Dereve.
It turns out you're such a pitiful person.
You'd better watch what you say.
Watch carefully.
It's all you who ruined yourself like this. Not Seo Jae Won.
How much further must you fall to realize that?
How about you? Why Seo Jae Won?
She wasn't by your side when you were lost and struggled.
I'm the one who was by your side then.
You're right.
That's been stopping me all this time.
But I'll cut you off without lingering feelings.
Even if I have to cut off my ankle.
That way, I'd be able to pay you back.
Hang in there for a bit.
Do you know what I regret the most?
Holding your hand when you wanted to die seven years ago.
What you said just now...
is very hurtful.
I wanted to be understood by you a tiny bit.
I guess I was asking for too much.
Su Gyeong.
I'm sorry for making a difficult request.
Let's have dinner together afterward.
[Dereve Shareholders' Meeting]
[Seo Jae Won]
Doctor, you have a visitor.
Didn't I mention I have no appointments this morning?
It's not that. He's here because of Ms. Seo Jae Won.
- Hello, Doctor. - Oh, yes. Hello
I'm Yoon Te Oh, Dereve's design team leader.
Oh, I see.
You're here regarding Ms. Seo Jae Won?
Yes.
Ms. Seo asked me to come. You don't have to hide it from me.
What did she ask you to do?
I heard you're her psychiatrist and a friend.
Me?
Aren't you?
I d-don't have a personal relationship with Ms. Seo.
I-I've never even met her.
Looks like you're mistaken.
No, no. There's no way, Te Oh.
Okay.
Flower therapy. Have you heard of it?
According to a study, the scent of flowers reduces stress...
You heal just by smelling.
Your husband, father, and Yun Te Oh...
Is that man...
How about other people's situations?
They might not have anything to do with me...
You want to believe it's not true, right?
Why didn't you take the medicine?
There was an important presentation.
I thought a few days would be fine.
You should accept it now.
Your relationship with Heo Sun Yeong is over.
Su Gyeong.
I'm sorry for making a difficult request.
Let's have dinner together afterward.
The number you dialed does not exist.
Please check and dial again.
Just one moment.
I'm different from Mom.
I'll never end things this way.

[My Happy Ending]
Time to take your medicine, Ms. Seo Jae Won.
I think I have a lot of things to do once I get discharged.
I heard you'll be the artist for Dereve's project.
Good luck with it. It's your company from now on, too.
Please keep an eye on them.
You never know what Kwon Yun Jin and Kwon Yeong Ik would do.
I heard Heo Sun Yeong's case will have a new detective in charge.
I think you should watch out.
How could you use an innocent child as a shield?
She was mine from the beginning.
How should I take care of it?
Let me manage it myself.
I'm making plans and getting things done one by one starting now.
