(Episode 20)
- What happened? - What do you mean?
Why did you invite Choi Ja Hye?
You said you suspected her.
Hey.
What was buried where you were digging...
that other night?
Was it Kim Byung Gi's body or something?
I think...
Choi Ja Hye planned all of this.
Fine. Explain everything in detail.
We buried Mi Jung in a quarry.
But her body was found on the road.
And it was Choi Ja Hye's doing?
What's your proof?
In Ho.
The truth is...
the body buried there... Darn it.
Tae Suk did it.
It's a bit too complicated to explain. But anyway,
That woman, Choi Ja Hye.
Something is fishy about her.
Hey.
I cannot stop suspecting you and Tae Suk,
so why don't we get to the bottom of this?
Let's find out which one of you...
is lying.
Hey...
Thank you.
You look prettier in person.
You're prettier than me.
I'm not that humble when it's about my looks.
You don't need to be humble. You are very beautiful.
What were you talking about?
She was complimenting me.
Could you please tell us about your cases?
Something like a memorable trial.
Every trial is memorable.
But I'll tell you one since you asked.
This case was...
about a mother who strangled her daughter.
My gosh, that's terrible.
She turned herself in within five hours of murdering her daughter,
and stood trial based on the confession she made.
However,
there was a twist.
She lacked the motive to have committed the murder.
After questioning her,
I found out that her 14-year-old son strangled his younger sister.
The mother who found out the truth took the blame.
If the boy was 14, he was a minor then.
That's correct.
I couldn't disclose the secret under the attorney-client privilege,
so I made him take the stand as a witness.
You're cruel.
He strangled his little sister to death.
Was I cruel?
No.
So what happened next?
I dragged a confession out of him.
So what happened to the boy?
It was impulsive. Worried about her son's future,
the mother covered up his crime. And along with other reasons,
it ended with probation.
How is that possible when he killed his own sister?
Isn't that messed up?
Stay out of this story, Jin Joo.
That's the Korean law dealing with minors.
Even for heinous acts of crime,
minors will get two years in juvenile detention at most.
Here's a question for you.
Na Ra, what is your thought on minors getting probation?
I believe in second chances.
Their morals on right and wrong haven't been fully developed.
I don't believe the same standard must be applied for minors.
To provide a back story,
the boy who got off with probation...
murdered his neighbor, an old man, with the same method at 19.
What do you think, Mr. Oh?
Suddenly, I think this dinner has gotten terribly boring and dull.
What do you mean? Ms. Choi, this is very interesting to me.
Please go on.
Hey, I told you to stay out of this discussion.
Why are you so mean to me?
Do you find this story boring?
I'm not sure.
What about you? Is it fun for you?
I don't know. I think this is 100 times better...
than some meaningless talk.
Okay. Then let me change my question.
A minor, who got off with probation,
murdered your daughter.
Was her name Dal Rae?
Ms. Choi Ja Hye!
You can sound all righteous when it doesn't concern you.
Na Ra.
Answer my question, not as an attorney, but as a mother.
Does that boy deserve a second chance?
Don't answer her.
Inviting you to dinner was my mistake.
What a shame.
It was...
just getting fun for me.
Actually, there is one more person joining us.
Who?
Since there's another guest coming,
I should give up my seat.
No, that's all right. Stay for dinner.
I have to get some work done anyway.
Please invite me again next time.
The hostess cannot leave the table.
Will you see me off instead?
Sure.
I'll see her off and greet the other guest.
Please take care of things here.
Okay.
Thank you for coming tonight.
This is a disaster.
Seeing how you gathered everyone for a meal,
you're quite different.
Thank you for coming. Where is your car?
I took a taxi here. I'm going to walk for a bit.
My gosh.
Hey, Hak Bum. Are you all right? Are you hurt?
No...
The wine glass slipped from my hand.
Goodness.
I'll clean it myself.
You never clean, Bum.
Just sit down. I'll take care of it later.
When you make a mess,
Tae Suk or I used to clean up the mess.
Right, Tae Suk?
Did we?
Joon Hee hasn't regained his memory.
Hey, it seems to me...
that you two aren't that happy to see Joon Hee has woken up.
What are you talking about?
I'm so glad you're back.
Hey, I'm so happy to see him...
that I might even cry.
My goodness.
Was that it?
It looks like everyone feels awkward.
To be honest, I don't remember anything.
I feel like I've seen you only two days ago.
You really don't remember?
No.
After In Ho told me what happened,
I don't remember the past six months.
Then...
- do you not remember Yum Mi Jung... - Jin Joo.
I'd like to only talk about happy memories.
Dear me. Did I mess up again?
No, it's not that.
But Na Ra, you look like you gained some weight.
Really?
How could you not notice that when you share your bed with her?
What do you think, honey? Didn't she gain some weight?
Let me go get some side dishes.
What happened? Is she upset?
Let me help you. Okay?
What's up with everyone today?
I thought I was going to suffocate to death in there.
By the way, I thought Ms. Choi Ja Hye was really cool.
Is she always cool like that?
- Yes. - I see.
Could you take out a plate if you're here to help?
My goodness, dear.
I don't touch other people's plates.
- Hey, let's clink our glasses. - Okay.
Hold on.
You don't remember...
what happened for the past six months?
No.
What is it? Is there something I should remember?
No. There's nothing.
Apparently, his memory got degenerated.
Hey, I need to use the restroom.
Sure. Hak Bum.
Me?
Help Joon Hee?
- Why? - Please help me out here, Bum.
Should I then?
My goodness.
Our poor Joon Hee can't even pee on his own anymore.
My gosh.
You seem uncomfortable.
Yes, I am uncomfortable.
When did Joon Hee wake up?
- It's been a few days. - It's been a few days,
but only you knew?
You planned this absurd reunion without Bum or my knowing?
"Absurd"? Which part?
- Joon Hee waking up? - What do you mean?
I'm kidding, you punk.
It's because that's what Dr. Seo wanted.
- He did? - Yes.
Joon Hee's accident raised many questions.
It's only natural for a father to suspect everyone around him.
In Ho knows everything.
- How much? - Even about Byung Gi.
But you know,
Byung Gi's body disappeared.
Did Joon Hee really lose his memory?
You're acting strange. Why do you care so much?
It's because I'm worried.
Hey. Joon Hee isn't healthy yet. He's very fragile.
His memory loss isn't what we should be worried about.
Shouldn't you worry more about his health?
Did you set this up with a sick kid?
He missed you guys.
You could've had us go to the hospital.
You know how Joon Hee hates the smell of formaldehyde.
I wanted him to get some fresh air.
I see.
Do you really not remember?
No.
Not at all?
When people get amnesia in dramas,
they always remember parts here and there.
You poor thing.
Our poor Joon Hee.
Poor thing.
Joon.
Please...
let's...
continue...
being happy together.
Please?
Bum? Bum.
I'm just so happy.
Let's go.
I still find Joon Hee's accident suspicious.
He was abducted while trying to say something about my case.
He then got into an accident.
Someone else's body was there instead of his.
Don't you agree, Jin Joo?
You're right. Why are the police so incompetent?
- What about you? - I think it's strange too!
Then why didn't you do anything?
You should've looked into it.
Hey.
What do you want to say?
I don't want to say anything. I want to hear something from you.
Jin Joo.
Come to think of it, I don't see Na Ra.
She had a headache and went to her room.
Bum.
Hey, hey.
Hey, hey. Joon Hee is all better.
His voice is totally...
I'm so happy for you.
Hey, let's toast.
Okay.
I'm so happy for you.
- Careful. - Okay.
- Bye. - Get back safely.
I'm closing the door.
Bye.
Okay. Then Tae Suk and Jin Joo can go home.
Hak Bum, do you want to have another drink with me?
No. I'm busy because of the new semester.
Okay then.
It's nice having everyone together again, isn't it?
Goodnight.
Get some rest.
- Are you just... - Are you the designated driver?
Honey, wait for me!
That jerk.
Hey. The parking brakes are on.
The brand with this letter H...
is a custom shoe shop.
- Custom shoe shop? - Yes.
I have an H too.
Yours is a counterfeit.
It is not. I hate counterfeits.
So where is it?
May I see the list of clients?
I can't show it to you because my boss isn't here.
I can see it if I have a warrant, right?
I guess so.
Then just check one thing for me.
Please check to see...
if Choi Ja Hye is on that list.
I don't...
Just a minute.
Hi, Suk Soon. Where are you?
Hi.
I'm out of town right now.
Why?
I'll explain later.
I needed to ask you something.
What is it?
That picture you sent me.
Can you find out where it was taken?
Why do you ask?
The serial murders that's going on now and the one from 19 years...
What case?
What's wrong? Hello?
Dr. Ko?
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...
- Hi. - Dong Bae.
Find out the location of Dr. Ko Suk Soon's last call.
Okay.
Suk Soon.
Suk Soon! Are you home?
Who is it?
I'm a detective. Please open the door.
Excuse me. I'm a detective with Gangdong Police Department.
Did you hear any strange sounds from across the hall?
A sound? No, I didn't.
- That place is empty. - Empty?
I don't think anyone lives there.
I threw out the flyers that had piled up.
You don't know where she went, do you?
I didn't see the older lady or her daughter.
"Daughter"?
What happened to her?
And what's this about a daughter?
("9-Year-Old Girl's Body Found on Taein Beach")
Around 9am, the body of a nine-year-old girl...
was found on Taein Beach.
The police responded to a call from a fisherman who said...
that something looking like a human body was in the ocean...
and retrieved the body.
Those working on the case said...
they were investigating the exact cause of death.
What is that?
An article about a girl's body that was found in 1999.
Why are you reading an article from 19 years ago?
I know. Why did someone send an article...
from 19 years ago anonymously?
It's Joo Chan Young.
You know, the reporter who wrote about Kang In Ho's case.
(By Joo Chan Young)
("9-Year-Old Girl's Body Found on Taein Beach")
My memory used to be so good,
but nowadays, it comes and goes.
I think a bottle of alcohol...
should bring back my memory.
I'll buy you drinks later.
Please try to remember.
Taein Beach and a girl's corpse.
I think I remember about 50 percent of that story.
Boiled pork slices would help me remember the rest though.
Excuse me.
Boiled pork slices for take-out, please.
All right.
Why all these questions?
It happened 19 years ago.
You remember, don't you?
How could I forget?
Fishermen were fishing...
when they found a girl on the beach.
Hey, there's a body here! A body!
Look.
Goodness.
Hey, hey. Call the police.
- "Police"? - Yes!
The incident stirred up that small town.
But...
do you know the cause of death?
Drowning.
You say that like I should be surprised by that.
The problem was that you should be surprised when you shouldn't be.
Come on. Try to make some sense here.
The official cause of death...
was registered...
as a car accident by a hit-and-run vehicle.
Hold on.
Hey, Dong Bae.
I just got her call record.
- Where is she? - She was in Taein...
when she called you,
but her phone was turned on after four hours.
Where was she then?
(Near Incheon Metropolitan City)
She was in Incheon.
Incheon?
Dong Bae, you know where Ahn Hak Soo's body was found, right?
Sea Horse Restaurant?
Yes, meet me there.
You cannot go inside until I get there.
I won't.
I must leave now.
Ahn Hak Soo.
Why is that name so familiar?
(Kim Hak Bum)
I don't think it's going to work this time.
Why do you say that?
It clouded my judgment for a second.
How did that happen?
Since it already happened, we must revise the plan.
We can't allow even a single variable.
(Return)
Clearly, that was murder.
But you'll defend whom?
Am I not allowed to?
Are you threatening me?
Don't push it. We're friends after all.
How did you find out?
Decide for yourself, Joon Hee.
Is she dead?
