(Episode 29)
What's the big deal? What is that?
Hey.
Uncle!
What's wrong with you? What are you doing?
And what are you doing?
Why are you going through my bag?
There was dirty laundry in the bag, so...
Whether or not there was,
you shouldn't touch other people's things.
Get out. Now!
- Get out. Go. - Uncle.
- Wait... - Get out.
How much did she see?
June 21...
in 1999?
Darn it.
Give it to me.
It took a lot of work to get this.
Sign it.
(So Tae Gil)
This is the end.
Don't show your face ever again.
He made me sign an oath and left it behind?
You freak. You idiot.
You should've thrown it out. Why did you keep it?
I need to ask you something.
That oath earlier.
What oath?
That's not an oath.
It said "oath" on the envelope.
- It's not. - I saw it.
Did it?
Why did it say that?
June 21, 1999.
Was that oath somehow related to my dad?
No! What are you talking about?
Why would it have anything to do with your dad?
Then what is it that you're so...
It was just for fun.
You know how in the movies, they chew up paper.
I wanted to try it.
It's funny.
Gemma. You seem to be...
seriously mistaken, but it's nothing.
Uncle. Please be honest with me.
What do you mean?
I don't know anything. What could I possibly know?
You know something...
about my dad's accident, don't you?
Why you...
Don't accuse me like that.
I told you. I don't know. How could I?
I don't know anything. I know nothing!
Darn it.
You made the right call.
Supplements make the best gift for the elderly.
- Here. Have a nice day. - Have a nice day.
(Pulses Krill56)
Gosh. I think the lunch didn't agree with me.
My stomach keeps hurting.
Ok Kyung, I'm going to run to the bathroom.
Seriously. That's what you get for losing control...
whenever you see food.
Hello?
By any chance did Gemma come by?
No. Why would she come here?
We're in trouble.
What do I do?
(Be Healthy. Take Krill Oil.)
I thought you were chilling at home doing laundry and stuff.
Did you get stir crazy already?
I came to see Mom.
Where did she go?
No.
What's wrong with you? Keep it down.
You punk. Why did you keep that oath with you until now?
I meant to throw it away.
I thought I threw it away.
I'm so upset.
What will you do now that Gemma found out?
Stop overreacting. She doesn't know yet.
Stop overreacting?
You jerk. You think I'm overreacting?
Are you kidding me right now?
Think about it.
Gemma isn't stupid.
What else would she think of that happened in 1999?
It's clear as day that it's her dad's hit-and-run.
Anyway, there's no proof,
so deny it if she asks.
Tell her you know nothing about it.
Tae Gil. Let's not do that.
Why don't we just tell her everything?
Are you insane?
I said I forgot all about it,
- but to be honest, it still... - Seriously.
Don't be stupid.
Stop being so selfish.
What about Gun Wook?
If he finds out that he got surgery by selling out Gemma's dad,
he'll completely snap.
So will Gemma.
She'll lose her mind in an instant.
She was abandoned by her birth mom...
and the person she called mom all these years...
turns out to be a witness to her dad's hit-and-run death.
Imagine the shock if she finds that out...
and that you took money to keep quiet.
She won't be able to function. She'll completely lose it.
So you have to play dumb.
You have to deny it to the end.
(Gemma)
Tae Gil. What do I do? It's Gemma.
You have to be strong, okay?
Whether or not you save Gun Wook, me, and Gemma...
depends on what you do.
You know that, right?
No. I can't pick up right now.
My hand's shaking too much.
The person you have reached...
That's right. Tae Gil was acting strange back then.
He must have made big money somehow.
He was throwing money around.
He bought his sister a cell phone.
I got to tag along when they went out to eat too.
Why did he suddenly leave home?
Ok Kyung says...
he left the money for Gun Wook's surgery...
and took the rest of her money from her savings club,
but who knows?
I think that's all a lie too.
I've never seen Ok Kyung put money into a savings club.
He suddenly got a large sum of money.
He left money for Gun Wook's surgery and ran away.
I said to come to the store.
Why did you tell me to come home? What a pain.
I'm sorry for making you come with your bad leg.
I needed to ask you something.
What is it?
Are you going to tell me you want to get married?
Mom. Gun Wook got his surgery...
in 1999, right?
From what I recall, he got heart surgery...
not too long after my dad died. Right?
Did he? I'm not sure.
But what about it?
Did Uncle give you the money for his surgery?
No, he didn't. What are you talking about?
I paid for the surgery with money from a ten-year savings club.
I was taking out Uncle's laundry from his bag...
and I found a written oath inside.
It said Uncle received 30,000 dollars...
in exchange for keeping quiet about something.
Do you know what that was?
No, I don't.
How would I?
What? He got 30,000 dollars?
That was a lot of money 20 years ago.
What did he get that much money for?
Do you think Uncle is involved somehow...
to my dad's accident?
How could that moron have been involved?
Witness.
To my dad's hit-and-run.
I really think there's something there.
What are you talking about?
That's not true. Tae Gil was at the hospital with me...
when he got hit.
Gun Wook was sick.
Gosh. If you're so curious, just ask Tae Gil.
I thought it was something serious.
I have to get back to the store.
Auntie can't handle it alone.
Why did Gemma tell you to come home?
She could've just talked to you later after work.
Was it that urgent?
I'm a sinner.
Sun Hee. The sayings must be true.
You can't live with a guilty conscience.
What's wrong? Did you do something wrong?
I knew it.
You cheated on Gun Wook's dad...
a long time ago, didn't you?
Gosh. If that's what it is,
I'd be jealous.
Why do I bother?
Hey, Tae Gil. What's up?
Hyun Seok, when are you getting married?
Come on, Grandma. We only just got engaged.
You got engaged, so marriage comes next.
Come to think of it, you're going to get married anyway.
Why did you bother getting engaged?
You should've just walked down the aisle.
Still, there's a process.
The engagement ceremony was nice.
It wasn't over the top. It was calm,
the ambience was nice, and simple.
That's true.
Grandma, I know it's time for me too,
but shouldn't Ki Seok start thinking about marriage too?
You're right. My eldest grandson should get married too.
Don't just waive it off. Think about it.
I'd like to forget it all,
but I don't think I have much time left, that's why.
My body isn't what it used to be. I feel it every day.
But then again, how would you kids know?
You need to reach my age to understand.
It's okay.
She has been more depressed...
ever since Gemma left.
How nice would it be if her missing son...
would show up right now?
Ki Seok. Want to go out and have some tea?
Alcohol is good too.
No thanks.
- Don't be like that. Let's go. - I said no.
- Come on. - I said no.
Do you hate me that much?
Yes, I told Gemma...
that you fell for a marriage con and got divorced.
Ki Seok.
Come with me.
Get up.
You jerk.
Cut it out!
You'll really kill me at this rate!
Darn it. You almost dislocated my jaw.
Why were you a professor? You should've been a boxer.
Seriously. I never knew.
Wipe off the blood.
Are you a runny-nosed kindergartener?
You carry a handkerchief?
Gosh. What is this? You look like an old man.
This is why girls don't like you.
You are so frustrating.
Do you feel better now?
Now that you beat up your only little brother?
- Sorry. - Don't be.
I deserved it.
I was torn.
You both seemed to like each other,
but you were both weighing things and unable to get closer.
I wondered how she'd react if she knew you were divorced.
I figured she wouldn't leave you because of that if she loved you.
It may have been messed up, but I wanted to test her.
Not because you liked her?
Me? Seriously.
Don't you know me?
I like all girls from babies to grannies.
I liked Gemma too since she was a girl.
She's not a guy.
You punk.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Maybe I'm starved for maternal love because our mom's gone.
I've always liked girls more than guys.
Ever since kindergarten,
I've had more friends that were girls than guys.
That's true, you did.
When you think about it, we've had a sad life too.
Right?
Ki Seok. Don't stress about it.
They say you'll end up together if you're meant to be.
You'll get back together if it's your fate.
I realized after doing the engagement ceremony...
what a joke it was.
What's the big deal?
I only did it to make Grandma happy.
I know, kid.
Thanks.
Hold on. My shoulder hurts too.
Couldn't you hit lightly? My entire body hurts.
You punk.
Does it hurt?
If only you weren't my brother...
That hurts.
Tae Gil.
Who are you?
Who else? It's me, your sister.
Seriously.
I was having a bad dream already.
I thought you were a ghost.
Don't give me that garbage.
Ghosts aren't this pretty.
Gosh. You're so delusional.
I've seen pretty young ghosts, but not old lady ghosts.
- Why did you wake me? - Keep it down.
Did Gemma say anything else to you?
Did she ask you anything else?
No, not yet.
I couldn't sleep a wink.
What do we do?
I think we should turn ourselves in.
Darn it. What's wrong with you?
What do you think?
I'm too nervous. I'm going to die an early death.
I'd rather turn myself in and go to jail.
I'd rest easier then.
Jail? Don't give me that.
You wouldn't survive a day in jail.
That's how much this bothers me.
If you keep this up, I'm going to disappear.
I'll never talk to you again.
Hey. How could you say that?
So please. Get it together.
What time is it?
I'm late.
Get breakfast ready while I wash up.
I have to leave early to buy the ingredients.
I heard you got paid 30,000 dollars back then.
Seriously. Why are you bringing up the past?
Hey!
Hey. Do you know how much 30,000 dollars is?
Seriously. Give it a rest.
Are you leaving already?
I'll see you later.
Okay. Have a nice day.
What do I do?
This is all your fault.
I'm seriously going to lose my mind.
Oh my.
Where's Gemma?
Is she not in today?
She's taking half the day off.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes. I have to go somewhere.
Where?
Must I report every little thing to you?
Of course not. I wanted to go out with you...
and spend time with you.
I'm going to meet with Senior Superintendent Jung.
He says to come down to his police station.
Senior Superintendent Jung?
He has the potential to become the police commissioner.
May I join you?
I know him well too anyway.
Honey.
Why don't you meet with Assemblyman Son, whom you adore?
(Pulses Krill56)
Please ring her up.
I'll ring you up.
Thank you. Come again.
Why have you been so out of it all day long?
- Sun Hee. - What?
- I need to step out. - Wait.
I need to go to the bathroom, so go after I come back.
Mother.
Have some cold iced coffee.
I'm good.
I don't have time to drink it, so give it to Auntie.
Where are you going?
To the police...
No. I just have some business to attend to.
The police?
Enjoy.
Sorry for making you wait.
What's up? You didn't say you were coming.
You left early this morning...
so I didn't get to see you.
I'm glad you're here.
I picked out something for you. It'll look great on you.
You should've brought Auntie with you.
I have something for her too.
It's okay. I have to get right back.
I'll try it on next time.
That's right.
I did it to save your life. What choice did I have?
I'll gladly go to jail or into a pit of fire.
I'll take the punishment.
What is it? Is something wrong?
No.
Mom. People will see.
Think of my age.
You're right. Your mom is so silly.
(Seoul Police Station)
Have a nice day.
Come again.
Here. It's break time. Have some fresh juice.
Come.
- You're the best. - That looks yummy.
Okay.
It's refreshing. What do you think?
- It's delicious. - It's amazing.
Auntie and Mother would've liked it too.
I'll just make some more then.
Mother's out.
She said she was going to the police or something.
What was that? What did you just say?
My sister is going where?
To the police station.
The person you have reached is not available.
So... Hold on.
I need to step out.
- But... - Chef...
What's wrong with him?
Seriously. Darn it.
Hey. Tae Gil!
Are you running away again?
Don't stop me. You're the one who made me run away.
What did I do?
You're a traitor.
You said I was your one and only brother.
But you're trying to send that brother to jail.
- What? - Why did you go to the police?
You went to tell them everything!
Who went to the police?
You didn't go?
I went, but I got scared and turned back around.
I made it to the door, but I couldn't go in.
My feet just wouldn't move.
I kept thinking about Gun Wook.
I just couldn't do it.
You did well. You really did.
The statute of limitations expired, so they can't punish him anyway.
Everyone can live comfortably...
if we keep our mouths shut.
Please don't ruin everything.
Let's be quiet and keep our mouths shut.
But they say no secret lasts forever.
There you go again. Why wouldn't it last?
The world is full of secrets.
You have to keep your mouth shut.
Then everyone will be happy. You know that, right?
From 1999.
Yes. Here it is.
The victim was Kim Jung Guk.
Yes, that's right.
It went unsolved.
But it's too old to reinvestigate.
The statute of limitations expired, so the file was destroyed.
We can't investigate even if we want to.
Are you saying...
we can never catch the hit-and-run driver...
who killed my dad?
Are you saying there isn't a single document...
from back then?
They usually leave the file.
The truth is, we've had so many cases.
Even if we do investigate and catch the driver,
the statute of limitations expired, so we can't punish them.
But... Even if we can't punish them,
we should uncover the truth.
I mean... You should find out what happened...
so that the family can get closure.
The hit-and-run driver is a murderer who killed a person.
This isn't fair.
You should've at least let the family know the details.
I know that.
Then you should've come sooner. Think about how long it has been.
You can't get mad that we don't have the file for a case this old.
Should we memorize all those cases? Carry them on our backs?
You shouldn't do this to us.
Then to whom do I complain?
If you had investigated properly, you could've caught the killer.
What? Should I complain to the Blue House?
Congratulations on your promotion to police chief.
I'll do my best to support you...
if you ever need my help, sir.
Gosh, Hyuk Sang.
Why are you calling me "sir?"
You're making me uncomfortable.
Not everyone becomes the chief of police.
A close friend succeeded and got this far.
Naturally, I should call you "sir" even if you're younger.
I appreciate the sentiment.
I am relying on you, Mr. Chairman.
No, I'm relying on you.
Let's go out soon and hit some balls, Chief Jung.
Gosh. Just give me a call.
I'll go running.
Come in.
How can I calm down? Who else am I supposed to...
What's the ruckus?
I'm sorry, Chief.
It's a civilian complaint.
What is it?
A woman is throwing a fit that we reinvestigate...
a hit-and-run death from 1999.
I looked it up,
and it was so old that it was sent to the National Police Agency.
I called them, and they can't find it either.
I told her it was probably destroyed and she became angry.
She says she'll submit a complaint with the Blue House...
and request an official reinvestigation.
Gosh. Is it a trend to file complaints with the Blue House?
I mean... What happened in the hit-and-run?
I don't know for sure either,
but the victim's name was Kim Jung Guk.
What should we do?
Who came?
The victim's daughter.
Do they think the police are Superman?
Call the detective on the case and find out what you can.
And look to see if there are any records remaining.
Yes, Chief.
So, when should we go golfing?
Hyuk Sang?
What?
I need to use the restroom.
I have the dashcam video, so I brought it.
- Did you get it? - Yes, I did.
May I help you with something?
Well... I was looking for the restroom.
- It's that way. - Okay.
- So you brought the video, right? - Yes.
That's good.
We'll be in touch.
- Please look into it. - We will.
(Chairman Kwon Hyuk Sang)
That woman is...
Kim Jung Guk and Hee Kyung's daughter?
Call the detective on the case and find out what you can.
And look to see if there are any records remaining.
You're back late.
How is Chief Jung doing?
Did he ask how I was doing?
I'd like to be alone.
What?
Get out.
I want to be alone.
If you're still angry because of what I said...
The hit-and-run...
may be...
reinvestigated.
Watermelons are the best in the summer.
Right? Isn't it good?
Of course. But aren't Uncle and Mom hot?
Why are they in their rooms?
Right? Did they fight?
Welcome home, Gemma.
I'm home.
Come have some watermelon.
You're back late.
Yes. I had to stop by somewhere.
Where?
The police station.
About my dad's hit-and-run case.
(Red Shoes)
Do you even know who died that day?
It was 22 years ago. The statute of limitations expired.
The person who was in charge of that case...
That detective died five years ago?
I'm sure they were involved with Dad's accident.
Who was that woman who just left?
She seemed familiar.
She's Kim Jung Guk's daughter.
How much do you know about my dad's accident?
What do you mean?
You know who murdered my dad, don't you?
