Yu Ri, keep your eyes closed.
Clear your mind.
It's okay.
It's okay, Yu Ri.
At the café,
Nurungi...
- Nurungi... - I know.
I know. I'll take care of everything.
Lie down.
For now,
focus on breathing.

(Law Café)
It looks like the dog was killed at the door mat,
then dragged all the way there.
But this isn't a dog you kept?
I pretty much kept it.
The floor is covered in blood,
but no footprints.
The CCTV cameras at the café and at the building are shattered.
It looks like this punk came ready.
We'll look for fingerprints,
but this meticulous punk wouldn't have such...
So you won't investigate because they were thorough?
What did you just say?
If you're going to investigate like this,
then give up your files to the prosecution now.
What are you...
Goodness, Detective.
Thank you for your hard work this late at night.
I'm from Central Prosecutors' Office,
Criminal Department Three, Officer Jung Moo Sik.
Chief, why are you here alone?
I thought you wanted a drink when you called this late.
I never imagined you would call me to a crime scene at night.
Thanks for your hard work. Everything is fine.
- Let's go. - The CCTV camera here is down,
- go search around the neighbourhood. - It's okay. Let's go.
- Keep up the hard work. - What are you doing here?
- Let's go. - What's he...
- I won't be mad if you do your job! - Yes, okay.
- Prosecutor Kim. - Darn it!
Nothing good can happen if you fight the police right now.
Keep your anger under control.
Ms. Kim.
Are you all right?
How did you get here? I thought you left.
I went home, but Jung Ho asked me to come.
Don't worry about it.
Jung Ho is downstairs, discussing this with the police.
You may not be able to sleep well from the shock,
so I'm trying to give you a hand.
Is that all right?
Once I woke up, it was already the afternoon.
I slept all day long at Jung Ho's place.
I'm going to the police station for a minute.
Don't go anywhere, and get some rest.
Ms. Kim!
What is this?
Ms. Kim, are you all right?
What?
I've never seen a crime scene before.
- My gosh! - Oh my.
- What is this? - What happened?
- My goodness! - What's going on?
Are you okay?
Here.
Thank you.
Two dollars and fifty cents.
What in the world happened here?
It's practically like a war in here.
Goodness.
This was a restaurant before, so they used both floors.
Once the restaurant moved out, the tenant on the first floor...
made that wall and blocked it off.
(For Lease)
Goodness. What will you do now?
You just started your business.
Who on earth is this punk?
Does anything come to your mind?
I'm a lawyer, so there are many who hold their grudge against me.
I'm sure the police will find the culprit.
- She has many enemies. - She has many enemies.
I found this in there.
Is anything missing?
I don't think so.
Hey, Yu Ri.
You're back. What did the police say?
I told you not to go anywhere and stay in my room.
Why are you yelling at me?
I'll clean up.
Go upstairs and get some rest.
Why would you clean up this place? This is my café.
Right.
I'm sorry for staying in your room last night.
This is the last time.
I won't bother you anymore.
Stay at my place for a few more days...
until the culprit is caught.
It'll be so inconvenient.
And where will you stay?
I'll sleep on the floor or sleep by the door.
Just stay here.
You have nowhere else to go anyway.
Hey, even so,
how can you and I...
sleep in the same room?
We don't know if that punk will find your place and harm you.
How can I leave you alone?
You told me not to bother you.
I'll manage, so...
What bothers me is how you make me worried.
I never asked you to worry.
On top of that, you said a man and a woman shouldn't drink...
in the middle of the night, so you kicked me out.
I'm now to sleep in your room?
Does this concern you in any way?
Of course not.
You and I...
are like family.
A brother and a sister.
- No. - No.
A brother and what?
Aren't we close enough to say...
that we're like family?
Family?
Yes, family.
Family?
Family, my foot!
Fine, I'll sleep over. I'll stay.
I did it once, so I'll do it again.
Why don't we...
just sleep on the same bed...
under the same blanket?
Let's sleep on the same bed and use the same blanket!
- Mom. - You.
What did you just say?
You aren't even married!
Same bed, same blanket?
Get back here!
- Ma'am. - I'll get you!
- Come here! - No.
Mom, it's not that. He told me to sleep over first.
Anyway, it's not like people can sleep together...
only after they get married in this day and age.
Get back here.
You're dead!
Get back here!
Come here!
- Get back here! - Mom!
You!
- Ma'am. - Come here.
Let go of me.
- Get back here. - Please calm down.
- Goodness. - Come here.
(The Law Café)
Jung Ho.
Will you take responsibility for Yu Ri?
What do you mean, ma'am?
She's your responsibility.
Jung Ho, you are still as humorous as ever.
It's not the same as your beauty, which seems to transcend time.
Goodness.
Jung Ho, you still have a great taste in women too.
Thank you.
I heard that you're the landlord.
I know you're friends, but if you keep letting her stay over,
something more might happen.
I'll be glad.
Listen to yourself.
I understand how you feel.
You know that it's not like that between us.
Yesterday,
there was no time for me to take her home.
Right. What is this mess?
Goodness, that's enough.
The table is already full.
We can't finish all these.
My daughter finally came home after a while,
so let me serve all the food I want.
- I'm home. - You're home.
You're home.
Hey, Yu Ri.
Have you been well?
It has been about 14, 15 years...
since they began to live together.
My stepfather is a wonderful man.
I stayed out in a dorm since when I was in college,
so when we meet, things are just a little...
awkward.
When will you ever study instead of playing games all night?
I don't even know who he takes after.
Well, it's obviously you.
Goodness, do you think it's easy to play games?
Tell me about it.
Good for you. You have such a positive outlook on life.
Eat up.
Let's eat.
- Don't just eat the meat. - Okay.
Mom, do you still wear that ring?
Of course. Your dad gave it to me.
Why? Are you disappointed that I seem to live a good life...
without your dad?
Disappointed? I'm not like that.
I made a promise with your dad when we bought this ring...
to live a happy, good life.
I'm going to keep that promise until the day I die.
Don't get so clingy. You're too old for that.
(Hongsan Police Station)
This was caught around 10:20pm...
on the dash cam of the car parked near the café.
You left after 11pm, right?
Do you recognize this person?
(Law Café)
And nothing in particular comes to your mind either?
This is completely my personal take.
I don't think this was simple theft...
or a terrorist attack by someone who holds a grudge.
It feels more like a warning.
You killed a dog?
Man, that's insane. Why did you kill a dog?
That's an innocent animal. What's with you?
There are no bad dogs in this world.
That guy frightens me.
And I looked into her just as you asked.
During the warehouse fire that broke out in Hwacheon,
the chief of the subcontractor who died there was...
Ms. Kim Yu Ri's father.
What?
(Family Relation Certificate, Father: Kim Deok Hwan)
Darn it.
Wait, what?
What an interesting twist of fate.
(Family Relation Certificate, Father: Kim Deok Hwan)
Anyway, I'm not a nice guy,
but I still can't destroy an entire family.
(Hongsan Police Station)
- Yu Ri. - Darn it.
Watch out.
That crazy jerk. How dare they kill a doggy?
Just wait until I catch them.
Those who mistreat those who are weaker than them...
should be skinned alive and fried in waste water. That jerk.
Did you just laugh?
You totally seemed like yourself.
Anyway. It can't be him, right?
Dohan Construction won't take things this far just because of me.
Right? I'm delusional, aren't I?
I'll take you home. Let's go.
Are you going back to your mom's?
No, I already took a few days off.
I need to clean up and start my business.
Eun Gang had to send back a few customers yesterday.
Then I'll go to your place at night.
Why do you keep doing this?
You said I bother you and annoy you.
You told me to let you be.
So why do you have your own way...
and treat me nicely?
I'm not being nice. I'm just carrying out my duty.
Our contract says...
I'm to show you support in case my tenant suffers...
from theft, attacks, and other such crimes.
And does it include sleeping over at the tenant's house?
I don't want to leave you alone, Yu Ri.
How much longer do I have to beat around the bush?
Who does he think he is to say he doesn't want to leave me alone?
What's he going to do anyway?
Goodness. Don't suck on it.
I'm fine.
Hello.
Hello, Dr. Park.
Hello, Ms. Kim. I...
A walk?
You thought I wouldn't come if this was a session, right?
It's not a counselling session.
Why don't you think of me...
as a friend in the neighbourhood who takes walks with you?
I don't want to be just a patient and a doctor with you.
I didn't want to be a patient either. Sounds great.
Dr. Park.
Then let me tell you this not because you're a psychiatrist...
but because you're my friend. This is for your ears only.
What? You can't share your heart...
as soon as we become friends.
Just hear me out.
There's something I didn't share with the police...
or Jung Ho.
What is it? Tell me.
Have you heard how the owner of the tarot café...
who had the place before me used to see a ghost here?
Yes, of course, I have.
I'm not completely sure,
but I think I also saw that ghost on that day.
There's a mirror next to the kitchen, right?
At first, I thought I got a glimpse...
of my own reflection in the darkness.
But no.
There are stairs behind the mirror, right?
I saw this small girl...
standing there.
Dr. Park, breathe.
I'm sorry. Ghost stories are my weakness.
Then you must've been scared while you stayed at the café.
But it felt like she was also startled to see me...
in a way.
It felt more like she was scared of me.
That's why I wasn't really scared.
Dr. Park, you thought I was peculiar just now, right?
Oh, no.
I was seriously wondering if I should ask...
this shaman I know for help.
What? Are you friends with shamans?
Of course. I believe everyone needs...
a psychiatrist, a lawyer,
and a shaman they can trust.
I knew it. You and I speak the same language.
We do?
- Let's go. - Okay.
All right.
Are you seriously trying to fight me?
Don't make me repeat things.
Hello, my name is Kim Seung Woon,
appointed as the 45th chief prosecutor.
The people gave...
the prosecution their trust to carry out our duty.
We will not condone illegal exercise of power...
which harms a fair society.
Even those who are socially disadvantaged...
will be represented as we...
It's been a while since you saw your parents, right?
You should call and visit them from time to time.
You should cherish the time you have with your parents.
When I lost my dad, I had so many regrets.
There were so many things I should've done for him.
- So you should also... - Don't assume that all families...
are like yours.
You could tell me...
about your family.
I don't know what happened between you and your father...
when you quit your job as a prosecutor,
but he's still your father, no matter how much you hate him.
Don't assume things. You don't know anything.
Hey. Why do you always have to speak to me like that?
- What happened? - Gosh.
Goodness.
- You're so troublesome. - Gosh.
Come here.
Hey!
Let go of me.
- Let go of me. - Stay still.
- I told you to let go of me. - Goodness.
- Gosh. - Stop flopping around like a fish.
Why do you keep picking me up like I'm a princess or something?
I'm not that hurt.
I can walk over to the couch on my own, you know.
You're the one who hurt yourself. Look at your toenail. It's chipped.
That was a really good kick.
Why do you care if I chip my toenail or crack my head open?
You...
Don't touch me.
I've been getting confused.
If you keep helping me when I'm in distress,
you're going to have to face the consequences.
What are you going to do...
if I keep being nice to you?
What are you going to do...
if I keep being nice to you?
Tell me.
What are you going to do?
Let go of me.
It's okay.
It's okay, Yu Ri.
You and I...
are like family.
A brother and a sister.
Brother and sister, my foot.
(Law Café)
Good morning, Ms. Kim.
Hi, Joon.
Have you seen my wallet by any chance?
I'm sure I left it here yesterday.
It's that leopard print wallet, right?
I'm not sure.
Where did it go?
That punk, Kim Jung Ho,
is distracting me so much.
Ms. Kim.
The café is open today, right?
Yes, of course.
This is Yi Seul's friend and her mom.
She wants to get your advice on something.
I wanted to help you clean as well.
You don't have to do that. Please sit.
Right this way.
You two play over here, okay?
I'll help.
So, what brings you here today?
I want to get a restraining order...
for the man that lives next door.
I think that man...
is stalking me.
What made you feel that way? Could you explain in detail?
I can sense that he's watching me through his window...
when I leave the house with my daughter.
I think he even takes pictures of us with his phone sometimes.
I have a feeling my husband hired him to do so.
I'm in the middle of getting a divorce.
When did this all start?
It has almost been two years now.
Is there any way...
to force him to move out?
Oh, hello.
Iced caramel macchiato with 2 pumps of syrup and lots of whip cream.
- Hey, Bae Joon. - "Kong Jwi and Pat Jwi."
I didn't know kids these days still read this book.
Did you read it too, mister?
Kong Jwi's stepmom was so mean. Don't you think so?
Of course. She's terrible.
First of all, she committed assault.
It falls under Article 260.1 of the Criminal Code.
Physical violence, I mean,
hitting someone, isn't the only form of assault.
If you hurt someone in any way, it's all considered assault.
Here's your coffee.
What is this?
He said you should drink whatever he gives you.
Enjoy.
She committed one more sin.
Abuse.
When Pat Jwi and Kong Jwi were working in the field,
she gave Pat Jwi a steel hoe and Kong Jwi a wooden hoe,
which is much weaker.
She only took Pat Jwi to the party and left Kong Jwi at home.
She also made Pat Jwi try to fill a jar with a hole on the bottom.
Treating one child better than the other is considered abuse.
What number...
is this one?
What? Number?
Just now.
Abuse falls under Article 273 of the Criminal Code.
Thank you for coming.
- Isn't it fun? - No.
- It's not fun? - It's not.
Hey.
Let's go.
Are they your friend?
Would you like to order your drinks?
If you're not notified at least two months before the end...
of the contract period, the contract is automatically renewed.
When did your landlord notify you?
Three weeks prior.
Your landlord can't legally terminate your lease...
by giving you a three-week notice.
It may take some time since there's a line. Sure thing.
- How much have you made so far? - 16 dollars.
Nobody's buying my things.
Corn for two dollars.
Boiled eggs, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries. One dollar each.
Gosh. Don't you worry.
The purpose of your blog post...
is for public interest,
not slander.
Therefore, it can't be seen as defamation.
Here's your coffee.
Enjoy.
- Boiled eggs and sweet potatoes. - Here.
Rice puffs for three dollars.
Corn for two dollars.
Rice puffs for three dollars.
- Here's a sample. - Rice puffs for three dollars.
Come on, ladies.
What are you doing in my café?
This is obstruction of business.
But you only sell drinks anyway.
People could get hungry...
while waiting.
Let's help each other out.
I'll give you ten percent of my earnings.
Fifteen percent.
Deal?
- Deal. - Deal.
Let's do this.
I guarantee you two will make money.
Have you ever seen me lie?
I'm disappointed.
Let's wait and see.
How did you...
become a landlord at such a young age?
That's everyone's dream.
Share some life advice with me.
Please.
Why?
Your life seems very easy already.
(Swaying side to side)
I want my life to be easy for as long as possible.
I really don't want to work hard.
I want to be in sweatpants doing nothing every day, just like you.
I bought this building with the money I made by working.
Hey. Come on.
Really? What did you do for work?
Jung Ho.
Jung Ho. I won't tell anyone else. Please.
Jung Ho. What is it?
Who are you? What are you doing here, you punk?
Jung Ho. What's wrong?
This punk keeps snooping around our café.
Who are you, you punk?
Right. Who are you, you punk?
What kind of legal advice do you need?
Everything that lady said was a lie.
Who?
The lady that came with the little girl.
What did she say?
She said I was stalking her, right?
The man that lives next door.
I think that man is stalking me.
You followed her here and lurked around until now?
I can't help but feel suspicious.
I'm not stalking her.
I'm just watching her.
Just watching?
I'm serious.
That lady is really suspicious.
You seem more suspicious to us.
- Totally. - Wait.
Do you know how bathrooms smell?
A smell like that keeps coming into my window...
from her balcony.
Also, I think a bug infestation spread to my house from hers,
so I went to complain a few times.
And I saw it very clearly then.
There's one more kid...
in that house.
There are two kids, not one.
But the weird thing is, the lady doesn't take the other kid anywhere.
She only ever brings Ji A with her.
That's why I'm watching her every day.
- Do you have evidence? - Evidence?
Right. Look at this.
Here.
I couldn't get a clear photo because she always runs away,
but the other kid comes out and roams around alone at night.
It must be so hard being cooped up inside all day.
Right. Also, she's really close...
with the stray dog, Nurungi, that's around here.
I found this in there.
There.
Am I the only one who doesn't get what's going on right now?
I think this kid's been sneaking in and out of our building.
What?
She must've snuck in through the vacant room on the second floor.
I think she's been hiding under our staircase.
What makes you think that?
I have...
seen her before.
I was so surprised that I thought I was hallucinating.
I didn't think anyone was actually there.
You mentioned before that you reported...
the child abuse to the police, right?
What do you have to say for yourself?
Well,
when we went there to check on things,
Yes?
the house was a little dirty,
- And? - but there were no signs of abuse.
- I see. - We spotted no injuries either.
I see. This child, who's supposedly too sick to go to school,
is walking around barefoot in the middle of the night.
How can you say there are no signs of abuse?
Do you only notice signs of abuse when the child is covered in blood?
Neglect is a form of abuse that involves...
the caregiver's failure to provide adequate food, clothing,
housing, or care.
Look at this picture.
This child is obviously being abused.
Don't you think so?
This situation fits the definition of neglect to a tee. Doesn't it?
We didn't know...
that she's been wandering around at night like this.
Step aside. If so,
let's go there now.
We're required to be accompanied by an assigned social worker.
You'll need to wait a little.
There's no time to wait around.
Open the door!
No!
No! Get out!
Don't look. Don't look, I said!
Don't look!
Get out!
Don't look! Get out!
Don't look!
Where's your other daughter?
Tell me. Where's the kid?
I don't know either.
What do you mean, you don't know?
How many days has she been missing?
How many days?
Mister.
I didn't hit her.
I never hit her.
She kept stealing my money,
So I only did it to teach her a lesson.
That's why. It was only this one time.
I'm sorry.
Ji A. Do you know where your sister is?
No.
Please believe me.
Please, sir.
Please believe me.
What will you do with Ji A?
We got in touch with her father. He's on his way.
How can you put her in his care?
He was so neglectful that he didn't even know what was going on.
Being with a parent is better than being sent to a shelter.
Wait.
What did you just say?
Ms. Yang. You'll have to come with us.
Ji A will stay with her father for now...
No! I can't give her to that man.
Ji A.
Stay back! Don't touch Ji A.
Don't you dare touch my baby!
I'll kill all of you!
Ms. Yang.
I told you. Don't touch my baby.
It was you, wasn't it?
Wasn't it?
You did this.
You're working with my husband to take my baby from me.
Mom.
I'm going to kill all of you!
Wasn't it?
You did this.
You're working with my husband to take my baby from me.
Mom.
I'm going to kill all of you!
- Hey! - No.
Let go of the knife. You don't want to do this.
Kim Jung Ho!
I'm okay.
It's all done.
- Thank you. - Thank you, Doctor.
Are you okay?
Why did you do that? You should've let the police officers handle it.
How can you expect not to get wet while standing next to a storm?
What does that mean?
What about the kid?
Her name is Soo A. Yoon Soo A.
She hasn't come back home for two days already.
They think she snuck out through the balcony,
like you said.
I didn't realize that she risked her life...
to escape and come to my café.
Do you have medicine?
The police are looking for her. They'll find her soon.
The little kid couldn't have gone too far.
I'm so angry, Jung Ho.
I know.
Hi, Mr. Jung. Could you look into something for me?
No. It's not about that case.
There's a child missing.
The Hongsan Police Department is handling the case.
The child's name is Yoon Soo A.
Soo A.
Okay, Mr. Kim. I'll meet you at 11am on the 10th floor...
of Daehan Building. The address is 27, Hwanggeum-Gil.
Yesterday, you called me...
right as the chief prosecutor called me into his office.
Have a good time.
So is this how you abuse your power these days?
If I didn't do this, I'd never get to see my only son.
So I had no choice.
Sit down.
I know you've been avoiding your mom's calls too.
Are you really trying to cut all ties with your parents?
I left home empty-handed as I didn't want to take anything you bought me.
I guess you didn't know that.
I gave you a lot more than such material things.
That's why I'm not doing anything.
What you gave me...
I don't want to use it.
But then again,
it's not like I can sever ties with my family by doing this.
Take Mom, for example. She packed her things...
and left the Dohan family as soon as you two got married.
However, you're still the Dohan family's son-in-law,
so you landed the chief prosecutor position.
I guess you want to use me as your excuse and blame everything on me.
If you think it's that wrong, fix it and take me down.
What can I do though?
You talk about prosecution reform...
but secretly cover up your in-laws' corruption. I take after you,
so whatever I do,
I'll be nothing but a hypocrite.
I'm leaving.
Sit down.
You should eat something.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can eat anything right now.
I'm a mere investigator. I couldn't dare say no to the chief prosecutor.
Besides, his reason was that...
he wanted to see his son. So from a humanitarian perspective...
And the thing I asked you for?
Of course, I looked into it. Here it is.
That woman abused her children three years ago too.
Yes.
So her kids were sent to a shelter for a while.
Then they stayed with a foster family for about six months.
When the mother's indictment was suspended,
the kids were sent back to her.
Mister.
I need to talk to the lawyer lady about something.
Ji A.
Didn't you come here to talk to me about something?
That day,
the man in the tracksuit...
told me that you were a lawyer.
He said I could ask you for help if there were any problems.
That's right, Ji A.
What happened...
that you came here to talk to me?
I know...
where Kong Jwi is.
"Kong Jwi"?
You mean, the Kong Jwi in the story of "Kong Jwi and Pat Jwi?"
I see.
So you know...
where Kong Jwi is.
But the thing is,
if I tell you where Kong Jwi is,
she'll have to come back home.
Pat Jwi...
and Pat Jwi's mom will keep being mean to her.
My gosh.
Ji A.
You were worried...
that Kong Jwi would be sent back to the scary place called home...
if they found her.
But you know, Ji A...
Maybe Pat Jwi was scared too.
She had to see Kong Jwi get scolded every day.
Pat Jwi must've been so scared...
that she'd be scolded like that too. Right?
Kids who are victims of child abuse...
have never experienced the world outside their families,
so they often don't know that they're being abused.
Those who should love them the most are hurting them.
Any child would struggle to understand that.
My sister said she'd go and find where Uncle lived.
She told me that she'd come back and get me.
Uncle?
When we were there, we were never scolded.
And we ate good food every day.
Ji A, you don't know where your uncle lives?
No, I don't.
But my sister said...
he lived far away.
She said we'd need money to get there.
Have you seen my wallet by any chance?
I'm sure I left it here yesterday.
She kept stealing my money.
So I only did it to teach her a lesson.
I'm sorry.
I think Soo A took my wallet.
Right before I reported my credit card missing,
it was used at a store in the area, so I'm on my way there now.
Where is it?
Ganghyeon-dong 342-4.
Ganghyeon-dong?
That's close to where their foster parents live.
Foster parents?
Yes. They stayed with a foster family for six months.
Then that "uncle" is probably...
She was probably talking about their foster family.
Ganghyeon-dong 342-4.
I'll tell the police and head over there now.
I'll meet you there.
But...
Soo A and Ji A knew since they had been put in foster care.
They knew they could run away...
and that there was a whole world outside their home.
(Grocery Store)
Hello.
Was this girl here a few days ago?
- She went that way? - Yes.
Did you find anything?
Excuse me.
Have you seen this girl?
- No. - Thank you.
Hello. By any chance, have you seen...
This is really fun!
I'm going to do it again.
Soo A.
Soo A!
Yoon Soo A!
Maybe we've come to the wrong place.
She must be here. They saw her going this way.
Soo A!
Yoon Soo A!
Soo A!
- Yoon Soo A! - Yu Ri.
- What did they say? - The foster family has moved.
So they're searching the areas near their house...
but haven't found her yet.
- Let's head back for now. - No, I can't.
I reported the card missing three days ago.
Soo A probably hasn't eaten anything for the past three days.
There was no cash in my wallet.
We must find her quickly.
- Soo A. Yoon Soo A! - Hey...
Yoon Soo A!
Soo A!
What are you doing?
You can't find her when your foot is like this.
This is nothing!
Had I called the police the day I saw her,
none of this would've happened.
I talked such gibberish and said I saw a ghost.
The police are looking for her now,
so you don't need to beat yourself up.
Soo A!
Soo A.
I won't move.
I'll stay right here.
Right.
I know you, Soo A.
But you don't know who I am.
My name is Kim Yu Ri.
I own this café.
I know.
You're that pretty lady.
You know me?
What's wrong, Soo A?
I'm...
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
Because of my wallet?
It's okay, Soo A.
I'm not angry at you at all.
I really mean it.
If you...
used it to buy yourself something to eat, it's totally fine.
I really am not mad at you.
Soo A.
I heard you were on your way to see your uncle.
How about this gentleman here and I...
take you to your uncle?
Do you know my uncle?
I'll buy you some good food...
and make sure you get to your uncle's place safe and sound.
Come here. Please?
I should go home.
You don't have to go home, Soo A.
I know you'll be scared at home.
I must go back home...
to get my little sister.
If I'm not there,
Ji A will get scolded in my place.
Soo A, are you afraid that Ji A would get yelled at?
Is that why you came back?
You're such a sweetheart, Soo A.
But you know what, Soo A?
If you want, I can help you and Ji A...
so that the two of you...
don't have to go home ever again.
Like your uncle's place where you stayed a while back,
I'll help you find a safe, warm home.
I can help you.
You'd like that, right?
Yes.
Let's go get Ji A. Come here.
- It's okay. - Later, we found out...
that Soo A was locked outside on the balcony all day...
with a bike lock stuck around her neck.
When her mother fell asleep,
she sneaked out...
through the window.
She sneaked out like that and hid inside Yu Ri's café...
every night.
Come on. We're just talking.
We're chatting away like this because no one is coming.
I offered to pay, but she won't let me.
- And you don't like that? - I am grateful.
Come on. We're friends.
You're too much.
Later, we asked her why.
"Because it was warm."
That was her answer.
That cold room by the stairs.
Drink up, Soo A.
- Soo A. - Soo A!
Uncle.
- Are you okay? - Are you all right?
It's okay. Don't cry.
- My gosh. - Don't cry, okay?
Your family is your home.
When that world starts to fall apart,
most people think that they've been ruined and are unsalvageable.
But the thing is,
your family is only a part of your life.
It's not your everything.
There are times when you must seek your own happiness...
no matter how much you love your family.
And at times, you must get away from them...
to figure out a way.
(VIP Room, Patient Lee)
At Dohan Construction's work site in Gyeonggi Province,
- I'm here. - a tower crane collapsed...
My gosh. The alcohol nearly killed me.
Oh, dear.
Even last year, six Dohan Construction workers were killed...
in a tower crane collapse.
I know you bribed the Ministry of Labour and the authorities,
but the prosecution has caught on and started investigating.
And what? Another tower crane collapse?
Must you mess everything up? Things keep getting worse and worse!
You see, this is what happens when you're trying...
to cover something up.
To bury a problem,
you need another problem. Then you need to bury that too.
So you need another problem. The cycle continues.
But we have nothing to worry about.
I mean, the Chief Prosecutor is our family.
Nothing will happen, right?
It's not like Kim Seung Woon ever listens to us!
My blood pressure is rising. Oh, boy.
Gosh. Anyway, if they're going to keep digging,
I do not want to get dragged into this. So take care of it.
- Do you understand? - Yes, well understood!
- Father. - Hey!
I told you not to call me like that!
- How about "Dad"? - You little...
Come on! I'm even giving you my liver.
Yet you still won't let me call you Father? You're so mean.
Hello, Mr. Chairman. Did you sleep well?
How are you feeling?
The numbers all looked good.
If I need surgery, can I just get it over with?
How much longer will you keep me here?
Now, we really just need to perform the surgery.
Your son is ready too.
I told you! He's not my son!
Stop calling him my son.
What? Did you just laugh? You little...
If you don't run away in time,
you may end up living in misery for the rest of your life.
Whether they're your family or not, if anyone makes you miserable,
just run.
Don't let yourself live in misery for the rest of your life...
because of fools who don't know the difference between love and abuse.
(Hongsan Police Station)
Aren't you coming?
Let's stay like this just for a moment.
Hey, why...
I don't want you to be miserable.
Was I a nuisance to you again?
No, it's fine.
If it's for something like this,
you can bother me anytime.
I want to kiss you.
What?
Do you want to hear it again? I want to kiss you...
Hey, Kim Yu Ri.
You and I are... I told you.
We're like brother and sister. We're like family.
I don't want to be your family.
I want something more than that.
But that's...
It's not something you can just do...
(The Law Café)
Wait! Hey, Kim Yu Ri!
You... What are you doing?
I hate confusing people, you know.
- Hey! - Only do it...
when you're 99 percent sure.
- Can I kiss you? - What are you doing?
That's so rude. Who makes a move like that these days?
I love this. I should have some fun with her.
- Come here! - Hey, Kim Yu Ri!
- Kim Yu Ri! - That girl, Kim Yu Ri.
Is she your girlfriend?
Do not mess...
with the people around me.
