(but each sees their own moon. A quote by René Magritte)
Oh no.
Mom...
Mom, open your eyes.
Oh no. Mom...
Mom!
(She Knows Everything)
- Hey, Dae Sung. - Yes, sir.
Get the security footage from these cameras.
And these cars that are parked here illegally...
Ho Chul, I hit someone.
Please help me.
What's wrong?
Take charge...
and patch up this scene.
- What? - Help me, Ho Chul.
I'm at the bench where we always meet up.
Please come quickly.
Ho Chul!
Where are you going?
She died.
I can't believe this.
How could I...
It wasn't me.
This is two minutes before the accident.
Ho Chul. What should I do now?
What do I do?
You have to live a good life to make up for her life.
You can become a big shot and help those who are in need.
And I will...
work harder to arrest and lock up bad guys.
No.
This is still so wrong!
Then go turn yourself in!
Turn yourself in and go to prison.
But once you get released, you better pay.
You better pay for my mother's life who died giving birth to you.
You better pay for my youth that wilted trying to support you!
How will you pay me back?
How?
You can't bring back anything even if you turn yourself in.
The dead won't come back alive.
And the evidence is all gone!
You just need to brace yourself. It's just you.
Your life isn't just yours.
You made one mistake.
So forget it.
Why are you here?
Ho Chul.
Help me out.
Was it you?
Did you kill her?
Ho Chul, I have to find it.
If I don't, I'll lose everything.
My life will be over!
I have to find it.
I have to find her phone.
The evidence of the hit-and-run is on that phone. My face is in it!
What?
Do you finally get it?
You scumbag.
Was it you?
Did you kill her?
Did you?
Darn it.
Listen carefully.
I'll take care of her phone,
so don't you ever step foot here again.
Understood?
And it was higher.
- What? - The location she fell from.
It wasn't the sixth floor. It was higher than that.
You're ruining Su Jin's life.
I didn't think it was Su Jin.
I thought it was a cat.
But first,
I had to make sure her mom was safe.
- She fell from the seventh floor? - Lee Myung Won, that scumbag!
Calm down!
Hey.
Why were you there?
Me? Well...
I... I helped Su Jin out.
I gave her mom massages and cleaned the house.
Su Jin couldn't manage on her own, so I was like a helper.
So you were there without her knowing?
- No, it wasn't like that. - You pervert.
"A helper"? How often did you go there?
What did you do to her?
- I did nothing! - Gosh.
- Stop it. He didn't kill her. - How do I trust him?
Did you know about this?
He's not a pervert.
What?
What? What is this?
You're so simpleminded.
Do you think everyone who's unlike you...
is either a pervert or gay?
Do you not know "The Danish Girl"?
But then again,
I doubt a thug like you would know such an artistic movie.
Men aren't required to dress a certain way.
- What? - Forget it.
Su Jin and I would hang out and do things like this.
She really enjoyed it.
He's right.
She's smiling.
She said I made her happy.
And she was all that I had.
Who in the world are you?
I'm the guy next door!
Ever since...
she lived in a townhouse, she fed and gave me clothes to wear.
Are...
Are you Mother Teresa?
Why would you take care of all the boys in the neighborhood?
This is Lee Goong Bok's, and this is Seo Tae Hwa's.
Det. Koo is in charge of his place.
Right, have you found anything at Su Jin's?
We've searched the place several times.
Right. She's...
Hey.
Search the place.
Yes, sir.
Darn it.
Have you found anything?
No, nothing.
What are you going to do now?
We should take care of this.
We'll catch the culprit.
How?
Ho Chul. Help me out.
Did you kill her?
I have to find her phone.
The evidence of the hit-and-run is on that phone. My face is in it!
What is this?
It's a home CCTV camera.
We installed this ever since her mom was bedridden.
Lately, Su Jin had been turning it off.
It was her house anyway, so I didn't do anything about it.
But after what had happened, I turned it on again.
So he committed the hit-and-run?
Were you aware of this as well?
I had my assumptions, but I knew for sure that they were brothers...
after seeing this.
Do you want to die?
Get back in.
Stop it!
He covered for him.
(Maternity Notebook)
(List of Tests)
He'll definitely do something if you leave him like this.
Can you manage that?
Today is an extremely important day for him.
Give me solid evidence that he's the culprit...
or let him go!
Sir! Step on it!
I don't think she's sane. She's crazy.
Does this make sense to you?
We're the same.
You saw it, right?
Say something.
Tell me it wasn't him.
Su Jin, that fool! She had no idea!
You're the fool. You're the one who was in the dark.
- What? - She knew it was him.
That's why she approached him.
Stop.
She found out the license plate number,
and it turned out to be Lee Myung Won's.
She went to the police,
but they just said that the car was reported stolen.
In the end, she approached him to get evidence.
And you let her do that?
I tried to dissuade her every time we met,
but she just wouldn't listen.
Gosh, she was insane.
She was downright crazy!
That's not important right now.
What's important is that we need to catch the culprit.
Lieutenant In isn't going to carry out a proper investigation.
Like two years ago, this may become a cold case.
But he's determined to find the culprit,
and you're his target.
I don't care. I'm going to kill that scumbag!
And then?
What will happen after you kill him?
Are you going to kill yourself?
Will you be a fugitive for the rest of your life?
Will you rot in prison forever?
If you think you can take it, then go.
But...
you should think about the outcome...
before acting upon something.
You should be responsible for your own life.
Show some manners to those who love you.
Your mom, dad,
Su Jin, Myeong Hwa,
and me.
You'll be 20 soon.
Don't think about loving or taking care of someone else...
if you can't even take care of your own life.
I need to catch Myeong Hwa's hit-and-run driver...
and reveal the truth behind Su Jin's death.
Those are my responsibilities...
because I loved them.
If you want to help out,
shut it and sit down.
But Lee Myung Won isn't whom we're up against.
It's Byeongun Construction.
They've built hundreds of apartments in this country.
Their legal department must be very powerful,
and they must have many connections in politics.
Then we should do that as well.
Once we get the evidence,
we'll spread it through the media, portal sites, and social media.
"Evidence"?
How?
No, not me.
Why me?
Then do you want to be the killer?
"A perverted stalker who entered the house as he pleased".
It's perfect.
Is this what I get for helping you?
Let's look for Su Jin's phone first.
Like Myung Won said,
the hit-and-run evidence must be inside.
And where do we look?
- Unit 104. - How are you so sure?
The union president is very sharp-eared.
If someone drunk presses the wrong password...
to their house, and it beeps, he wakes up and causes a scene.
There's no way he couldn't have heard her falling.
But instead of calling the police,
he took her phone?
Why?
Because there's evidence that she received money.
"Money"?
What has she been up to?
She's caused problems everywhere.
How can we find direct evidence that he killed her?
We'll get his DNA.
About the epithelial cell found under Yang Su Jin's fingernails,
I'd like you to compare it to a sample I'll be sending over.
Please let me know when you get the results.
"DNA"?
Gosh.
Look at you mimicking a cop.
What?
What is it?
You ungrateful kid.
In middle school, you tried breaking into someone's car...
and got caught.
You also got caught stealing a phone at the sauna.
I was the one who saved you...
because your grandmother was bawling so much.
So what should you do now?
You should repay me.
(Migang-dong Goong Apartment Yang Su Jin's Murder Case)
(Seo Tae Hwa)
Bring Tae Hwa to me by tomorrow noon.
If not, I'm going to send this box...
to that man who hates you.
Let's meet.
Do you have an appetite this early in the morning?
If you wanted the box, you should've brought him here.
Are you allowed to barge into other people's houses...
and take their belongings just because you're a cop?
I wonder if you even had a warrant.
Didn't I tell you that I had free time,
so I studied the criminal code?
You keep forgetting something.
It doesn't make sense for you and me to be eating together.
We should be talking in the interrogation room.
Tae Hwa is our key suspect,
and you're his accomplice who harmed a cop...
in order to get him out.
Do you not get it?
The evidence of the hit-and-run is on that phone. My face is in it!
Do you finally get it?
What about this?
There's no evidence here.
It all depends...
on what's inside the phone.
The statute of limitations for that hit-and-run case...
is still very much in effect.
What do you want?
Don't try to involve Tae Hwa into this.
He has a perfect alibi anyway.
"Alibi"?
At the time of Su Jin's death, he was at her house.
Soon after, he came out running, so what alibi?
Exactly.
At the time of her death, Tae Hwa was at her place.
But where was she?
Seventh floor.
She was on the seventh floor.
She was alone with your brother, Lee Myung Won.
- Do you have proof? - Hey, are you done eating?
Take him to the station if you want.
But if you do, this footage will be uploaded online.
Oh, and her phone?
I think I'll find it first.
What?
Do you finally get it?
You should focus on protecting your brother instead.
And I'll protect my baby.
Let's go.
(Migang Police Station)
Do you have no idea where her phone might be?
Pretend like you don't know anything.
You were home alone that night.
You were asleep.
Got it?
Okay.
There's no evidence yet.
Even if there is, I'll take care of it,
so just feign ignorance.
Okay.
- I'm hanging up. - Ho Chul.
This was my decision.
Even if I turned back time, I'd make the same decision.
And...
this will be our last call.
You should stop getting involved with me.
You need to protect yourself instead of protecting me.
Don't call me.
Lee Myung Won, come out!
Lee Myung Won is here, isn't he?
- Come out. - Who are you?
I came to talk to Lee Myung Won. Come out now.
He's not in right now.
- He is! - You can't do this.
Lee Myung Won, I know you're in there. Come out.
- Call security. - Lee Myung Won, come out.
Lee Myung Won! Stop touching me!
- He's not in right now. - You people are unbelievable.
Please leave. Leave.
I came to talk to him. Why are you stopping me?
- He's not here. - Let me go.
- Stop it. - Don't be like this.
- I'm just here to talk. - He's not here right now.
He's not in his office!
- He's not in! - He is!
- I'm not leaving! - My goodness.
Hey, did you go to eat?
What's with you people?
I just want to talk to him.
Please leave. Please.
- You need to leave! - What's with you?
My gosh!
I just want to talk.
- Stop touching! - Please leave!
Okay, fine!
My gosh, you people.
You awful people who work for Lee Myung Won,
you're all the same too.
Lee Myung Won, you jerk! My gosh.
Darn you.
Clean up everything.
(Handong Logistics)
Hey, hop in.
I didn't come all the way here to be your minion.
I really came to get him.
Then take this, you punk.
Hand that over to them, and make sure you catch him.
I have to go make a living.
(Clean Bio)
(Calling: Miss Lee)
- Hello? - They've connections with the NFS.
You can tell them that Miss Lee sent you there.
Goong Bok!
Why does she hang up right away? Is she a secret agent or something?
Darn it.
(Key suspect)
Here.
But why? Are you looking for something?
I'm sure we missed something.
What are you up to?
I'm sure we missed something.
Really?
Gather round.
He smells.
Goong Bok, can you find me a place with cheap rent around here?
I want to open a nail salon.
Okay?
I mean, I need to make a living.
My eyeballs might fall out.
- What? - What?
Right, one second.
My gosh, it's so hot.
Mr. Bong, I'd like to take a look at your place.
Why would you do that?
No one wants to take a look before they buy a place here.
But that's not the right procedure.
I need to look at your place to put it out in the market.
The floors are sturdy and the ceilings are intact.
What more do you need to look at?
Anyway, where are you?
You must be outside. It sounds noisy.
I'm out. So you need to hang up! Goodness.
Man, that old man is really loud.
Darn it.
What were you saying?
A cheap place for rent.
Found it.
Goodness. Goong Bok!
Right after 2 a.m., the presumed time of Yang Su Jin's fall,
the lights went on at Unit 104 then turned off after 5 minutes.
That's a very short period,
but it happens to overlap with Yang Su Jin's case.
I'm sure he saw Yang Su Jin falling right in front of his veranda.
But he didn't make a report.
Instead, he put the house up for sale the next day.
The day after Yang Su Jin died, he gave up on the presidency...
of the association he kept for 18 years to move.
Is this only suspicious for me?
He could've been shocked to see a dead body. He's an old man.
There's something we overlooked.
What if she wasn't thrown out after she was killed?
What if she was strangled after she fell?
Her phone is still in Block Nine,
and we haven't searched through Unit 104.
On top of that, Unit 104 was the closest...
to where Yang Su Jin fell.
But why?
Why did he kill her?
I think...
Yang Su Jin was an agent for the construction company.
Yang Su Jin kept receiving money under Im Jung Kwon's name,
and whenever the money was deposited,
she withdrew it and sent it somewhere.
Somewhere.
- Hey, Dae Sung. - Yes, sir.
Go print out Bong Man Rae's bank statement.
- His bank statement? - Yes.
- Yes, sir. - And you, Min Suk.
- Yes, sir. - Find everyone she met for a month.
Go through her call history and social media.
Search through everything and bring me a list.
Yes, sir. Right!
Then what about these people?
These bold people who tampered with the evidence...
to cover up their affair.
How do you think they knew they were caught on camera?
I'm sure Miss Lee told them.
She was sitting here after our meeting at that time.
Oh, right.
What about Seo Tae Hwa?
Is he no longer a suspect?
No way.
Once we find her phone and get the blood analysis on the handcuffs,
- we'll take care of everything. - Yes, sir.
Then what about the warrant?
What should I do about the warrant?
Goong Bok! Watch your fingers!
Don't let the nail polish get smeared!
Why does she make me come whenever she wants?
What is it?
We were told to only let immediate family in.
I got a call saying he woke up.
Let me go. Let go!
Let me go!
Go home and wait.
- What? - It won't help you or me...
if you make a scene here.
Make a scene?
Do you want to get kicked out without a penny?
If you want me to get my inheritance,
just leave quietly.
Don't smile.
I didn't come here to see your smile.
I came here to confirm how big of a jerk...
I am.
Gosh, there's a kitty here.
I got it.
Should we name the kitty first?
How about naming the kitty Bom? We met in the spring.
Bom. What is this? Look.
- Bite her. - What's this?
Are you done mourning for her?
How disappointing.
I thought you were getting ready to fight,
but this is where you come to?
What happened?
The shares you were supposed to receive went to those two fools.
It's because of you.
Because of the accident you caused.
- What? - Did you think...
a mere detective was able to quash that case?
My dad did it. My dad took care of everything.
It was my dad who cleaned up the scene...
and made sure that there was no dash cam footage of the night.
I was waiting for the right moment no matter how bitter it felt.
But you were having an affair?
What do you want from me now?
Get everything back.
Everything including your shares, my position, and my company.
My dad still considered those fools his sons and gave them the company.
But he made sure that I could never get a job and destroyed my career.
Why?
Because I might take the company from them.
But did you really think my dad who treated his own daughter this way...
give shares to you who's not even his family?
Get a grip...
unless you want us to get kicked out without a cent of money.
I hope you don't regret this.
You haven't even seen...
a one-tenth of who I really am.
Who is it?
Ma'am, it's Miss Lee. I'm here to take a look at the house.
Miss Lee?
Who's Miss Lee?
Ma'am, I'll be really sad if you say you don't know me.
I helped you shop groceries the other day...
and cleaned the house for you too.
Don't you remember when you had to wear a cast...
after injuring your leg?
- Hello. - Come in.
I should thank you for your help. I'm sorry. I'm forgetful these days.
No, it's all right. I forget things all the time too.
Come on in.
Gosh.
You kept the house very clean.
You didn't remodel your house at all, but it's very clean.
Gosh, you're too kind.
May I take a look around the house?
Since it is an old unit, I have to check thoroughly.
Don't mind me. You can go back to what you were doing.
Okay.
- I'll start with the bedroom. - Go ahead.
Ma'am, you're playing a very nice piece.
You have an elegant taste in classical music.
Who is it?
This is the police. Open the door.
Don't open it.
He's a police officer.
How do you know if he's really a police officer?
Open it.
He's like a gangster.
Just ignore him. He'll go away then.
- Okay. - I can hear you. Open up!
Darn it.
(Always Keep the Ladder Slanted)
What is this?
My gosh.
Have you gone mad? This is trespassing!
You even have your shoes on. What are you doing?
This must be the place, right? That's why you didn't open up.
She opened the door for me. But you're a police officer.
Have you gone mad?
Is he a police officer?
Do you want to turn in your badge?
You'd better get out before I report you!
You must be out of your mind.
Report me? Go ahead!
Easy now.
I have nothing to lose anyway now.
He's out of his mind.
Ma'am, why don't you watch some TV?
It's all right.
What's the matter with him?
I'll die soon.
That's a lie!
Sir.
What?
You can't take out a loan based on your credit.
And you already maxed out on your mortgage loan, too.
(Daehan Bank)
Okay.
Dad, you didn't send any money...
for this month's living expenses yet.
Could you please send some money for kindergarten first?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Where is it?
Darn him.
What? Where is it?
Hey, what's this? What? No way.
- What? What is it? - Look at this.
- What? - Over there.
- Not there. Look inside. - Where?
Where? Where is it?
There's nothing.
You should put them away as you look for it.
Seriously.
You neither have a conscience nor a sense of ethics.
Come on.
Move.
Let me see.
Darn it.
Come on!
Darn it.
Gosh. Goodness.
Oh, my.
Ma'am, get up. Let's get you up.
You can't eat on the floor.
Sit at the table.
You'll get indigestion. Okay?
Use chopsticks. Here you go.
Ma'am, where's the cellphone?
I know Yang Su Jin's phone is here.
If you hide it, you'll go to prison.
- Here. - I don't know.
- You startled me. - Where is it?
What's wrong with you? You're scaring her.
Now, you're threatening her? You're crossing every line.
Darn it!
My gosh.
It's mine. Why?
Why are you doing whatever you want?
Why? Why are you doing that?
Why do you get to decide on everything?
- Why? Why are you doing that? - Ma'am.
- Ma'am, no. - Why?
You can't do this to him.
- Why? - Please. No!
Ma'am, are you all right?
Get up.
What's wrong with that old lady?
My gosh. Are you hurt? Are you okay?
Did she just poop?
Look at these rats.
What are you doing there?
Get out of my house now, you jerk.
What are you doing? Get out of my house now.
- You jerk. Get out now. - It's all right.
- You're all right. - Get out.
Don't you have anything better to do? Darn you.
(May 8)
Min Suk.
Sir, I found out the agency that restored the data.
What? How?
Yoo Hyun Ji from Dress Room.
She found it on the GPS history from her old phone.
After the accident two years ago,
they went to the agency together.
She thinks this is the one.
Why didn't she tell us that sooner?
She thought she lost her phone,
but she found it when she was cleaning the storage at her studio.
Where is that agency?
I'll send it over now.
Okay. I'll check it out.
Goodness, ma'am. You've been stuck at home all day.
You must have felt stuffy inside.
I'll go out on a walk with you and help you bathe.
All right. Let's take off your pants first.
All right. Go into the tub...
and take off your underwear.
Gosh. I can't imagine how stuffy it must feel inside.
She's staying at home by herself.
It's mine.
It stinks.
Let me have that. I'll clean it.
Give it to me. I'll clean it for you.
(Saium Building)
Doesn't this feel nice?
Yes.
Ma'am.
Stop giving your husband a hard time.
My grandmother also had dementia and put me through a lot...
for three years before she passed away.
You know,
it's really hard on the family.
Eun Ja.
Eun Ja, where are you?
Where is she?
Where are you?
Hey, you should leave.
Okay. I should.
- Ma'am, hold on. - What?
Let me give you a pillow.
Rest up.
Okay.
Sir.
You saw Su Jin that day, didn't you?
You saw her fall.
What are you talking about?
I saw no such thing.
You should have called the police.
Who knows? She could have lived.
My gosh.
You should leave now. Go!
Look at the mess you created in my house.
How dare you accuse me?
What else do you want?
- Gosh, I'm leaving. - Darn it.
Stop yelling at people.
That's why your wife is confused all the time.
It's all your fault.
That little...
Gosh.
His yelling will make a sane person go crazy.
My gosh, he and his voice.
Hey, you.
Thank you...
for washing her.
Sure.
My gosh, slow down.
All right. Have some water.
It's all right.
Are you all right?
That woman knows.
Who?
What woman?
What?
My gosh. Did she see it?
("Senior Citizens with Dementia in Seoul Reaches 10,000")
("A Murder Case at an Apartment, Waiting for Reconstruction")
("Is It Related to the Corruption Scandal of the Reconstruction?")
(May 8, Send money to my daughter)
Ki Soon.
I think...
it's really time...
that we left this place.
When did she get this?
I got bored waiting for you, so I tried on a few.
Sorry.
So she's not completely gone.
It seems like she comes back from time to time.
From what?
Her sanity. Mr. Bong's wife.
Oh, I see. My goodness.
Their son and son-in-law are both troublemakers.
He always puts on that Hanguk University cap...
ever since he picked it up after his son threw it out.
He lost two houses trying to support his son's business.
He gave his daughter a lot of money...
because his son-in-law was a prosecutor,
but he lost another house for the son-in-law's law office,
then another one when he ran for an election.
He actually had five units in this apartment,
but he only managed to save the one he lives in.
It looks like he's selling that too because of his children.
Anyway,
how did he deal with an old lady with dementia all alone?
Goodness, he had five units?
Excuse me.
I'm with the police.
(In Ho Chul, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
Yes, that's me.
Anyway.
Do you remember this woman?
Yes, she stopped by two days ago. Her name was...
Yes, Ms. Yang Su Jin.
Let me check the file you restored.
Do you have...
a copy of this?
Yes, we keep the copy for at least three months.
- Then... - I'll take the copy.
We work at the same office. I'm a detective as well.
Hey, Dae Sung.
Give that to me.
You were driven insane and had no idea what you were doing,
but I could see everything you had been doing,
the kind of crazy things that you were up to.
And I was insane too.
It was just once, and you can't bring her back anyway.
I thought I'd do the same if I had a smart brother like you.
But...
you can't do this anymore.
Give that to me, you jerk. You turned a blind eye to that.
Yang Su Jin died because of this.
What do you expect me to do?
Ho Chul.
Hey, Ho Chul.
You know how much I like you, right?
In Ho Chul the detective is...
one great guy, isn't he?
You know how much I like you, right?
In Ho Chul the detective is...
one great guy, isn't he?
You should stop getting involved with me.
You need to protect yourself instead of protecting me.
Was it the right place? The recovery place.
No.
She hasn't been there within the last six months.
It must be another place.
Min Suk.
Yes?
Hand this over to the NFS.
What is this?
Unit 104.
Where are you going?
My gosh. Where did you get this? I can't believe you.
Connect it.
That's Yang Su Jin's phone, isn't it?
Move.
Move! Let me go!
It's over for Lee Myung Won and you.
Let's see if it's just the evidence for the hit-and-run...
or if she has something else. Okay?
Darn it. No. No!
No!
What is this? There's nothing here.
You can't go.
What? No way. Take a good look.
Darn it.
Was this his trick? Did Lee Myung Won fool us?
Or Su Jin could've been lying from the start.
So there was no evidence to begin with?
Why would she make up such a lie?
To end her relationship with him.
But she couldn't.
Yes, so why?
I love him.
I'm in love with him.
Hey, Mr. Oh.
Do you have the result?
Did you compare it...
to the blood on the handcuffs?
Yes, the blood found on the handcuffs...
belonged to two people.
What?
Stop coming.
Stop coming here, you jerk.
Stop coming.
And among the two, nothing matched the skin cells found...
under Yang Su Jin's nails.
Nothing?
The DNA found under her nails...
belongs to a woman.
Wait, then...
the culprit is...
a woman?
Goodness.
(She Knows Everything)
So the culprit is a woman.
The culprit is always nearby.
It could be the first eyewitness.
Could it be Miss Lee? She lives in Unit 1004.
I really hated Su Jin.
She ruined herself and shook Tae Hwa around.
But...
I feel bad for her.
Ms. Lee Goong Bok?
I killed Su Jin?
You strangled Yang Su Jin to death,
then tried to cover it up as suicide...
by dropping her.
Isn't that so?
Does it make you feel better to say something like that?
