(This is a fictional story. All the characters, areas,)
(institutions, religions, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
It's been 37 days since a child got kidnapped at Royal the Hill.
(Forensics)
While people have been criticizing the police...
for their poor investigation,
a documentary film director, who was a strong suspect,
was found murdered on the 11th of the previous month,
which left the case with even more questions.
What...
However, the clues and evidence that were found at the scene...
pointed out that the film director was the culprit of...
both the abduction case and the murder of Reporter Park.
The evidence found at the scene was the weapon used for murder.
("For Eun Ho")
(Written by Oh Jang Ho)
Everything was planned for one specific day.
The day of the charity event at Royal the Hill.
He used a fake ID...
to apply to work for a subcontractor that managed the charity event,
and that's how he was able to go inside.
Sir.
("For Eun Ho")
Three minutes.
Something even more shocking...
was found written in his scenario and laptop.
There were voice recordings that seemed to have been wiretapped,
a long-planned plot,
and many trial tests of the abduction...
that he had planned.
("For Eun Ho")
His crazy obsession toward a miniature creator,
his guilt for having given up his child in return for money,
his distorted paternal love,
and his belief that he could start a new family.
That was where it all started.
However, due to an unexpected mistake,
the abduction ended up becoming a disaster.
He accidentally kidnapped the wrong child,
and in the end,
he murdered him.
There was someone who suspected him even before the police did.
It was Baek Soo Hyun, the former anchor of News Night.
He and the documentary director were family,
but they had gone through a legal dispute, physical assault,
and they also had a suspicious family history.
Could that have been why?
Instead of calling the police for help,
Baek Soo Hyun trespassed the director's house.
He ignored the ethics he once had as a reporter.
And while he was there to illegally gather evidence,
he got into a physical fight with the director.
When the police had arrived,
the director was already dead,
and Baek Soo Hyun was found unconscious.
Call the rescue team...
and the forensics team.
No one else other than the two was in the house that day.
According to the CCTV footage,
they were the only people who had entered the house.
Also, the police detected...
Baek Soo Hyun's fingerprints on the murder weapon.
It's only been a month since he promised to turn...
the broadcasting station into the most dangerous station in Korea.
But instead, he became a dangerous man himself.
Baek Soo Hyun has been charged without detention.
However, he claims that he doesn't remember anything...
and continues to deny all suspicions.
As things are starting to become more clear,
the police shared information with the press...
despite the fact that the case is still being investigated.
They also announced that they are determined...
to finish the investigation as soon as possible.
(River Pictures Oh Jang Ho, Dead)
YouTubers, the press, and the public.
You know everyone's mocking the police, right?
We were given direct orders from the commissioner.
Begin by wrapping things up with the case on Baek Soo Hyun.
Don't go easy on him or else people will talk.
Understood?
All the arrows are pointing at him,
but we lack direct evidence.
Did you see anyone else on the CCTV footage other than him?
The thing is,
there were a few blind spots in that building.
Did you find any fingerprints or bloodstains...
that belonged to anyone else...
other than Oh Jang Ho, Park Seong Hwan, and Baek Soo Hyun?
His motive for murder is still unclear,
and if this goes to court, it might be disadvantageous for us.
Listen! Baek Soo Hyun was delusional and thought his wife was cheating,
even though he cheated on her too!
Then he found out the director was the kidnapper,
got into a fight, and accidentally killed him.
What more do you need?
We can't just use the online rumors as his murder motive.
Then that would really taint our reputation.
Why didn't you get him to confess when you arrested him?
I expect you to wrap this up as you investigate him.
Stop focusing on what's over and just wrap up the case.
That's our only option. Do you understand?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
(News Night, Confidential Document)
(Police Files on Oh Jang Ho's Death)
(Shim Seok Hoon)
(Baek Soo Hyun)
Oh Jang Ho killed himself.
I didn't kill him.
I fell into a trap.
(Evidence Bag)
Your prints are all over it.
Next. It's the same knife Oh Jang Ho used...
to kill Park Seong Hwan.
Isn't that why you used this knife to kill him?
I fell into a trap he set for me.
I didn't kill him.
I'll tell you what the police think.
You...
stabbed Oh Jang Ho with that knife.
He fought back and you blacked out.
And you forgot everything.
We found your belongings at the scene.
Its usual side effect is insomnia.
Rarely, it causes patients...
to see things or end up with fragmented memories.
You must know better.
No.
No, it can't be.
How much of this did you take?
You've gotten out of control.
(Shim Seok Hoon: You'll be questioned further.)
(We'll also question you under hypnosis.)
(River Pictures Oh Jang Ho's death)
You saw the scene yourself.
No one tried to get out or call for help.
I know that.
But as of right now,
the one with the strongest motive to kill him is you.
- And you already tried to before. - That was...
Jang Ho wants to punish me.
He wants everyone to believe I'm a murderer...
so that I'll be tormented.
That's how far he planned this.
Why does Oh Jang Ho want to punish you?
Because you took Yeon Woo? Is that why?
Or is it because of Eun Soo?
She has nothing to do with this.
Whatever the reason, neither of those...
is enough of a reason to punish you.
What is it?
Is there something else I don't know?
Even now, you're hiding something from me.
I told you.
Each time you keep quiet, someone dies.
How long will you do this for?
For how long?
It still wasn't me.
I didn't kill Jang Ho.
(Oh Jang Ho's phone)
(Oh Jang Ho's call history)
You haven't gone to dinner yet?
You're still wondering if it was suicide?
Who would take such effort to take their own life?
I'm not saying it's a definite no.
There was just one stab wound.
Before he died of blood loss,
he had enough time and energy to escape.
But there's no blood on the door handle.
In other words, he didn't even try to get away.
He could've been in shock.
There's no sign he called for help either.
Other than sending Lee Mi Do a text,
his call history is blank.
Still, look.
They're all evidence of the abduction and murders.
He couldn't put it away because it happened too suddenly.
Baek Soo Hyun's not even a cop.
What would drive him to suicide?
He has no reason for that.
Keep tabs on Lee Mi Do.
We got her statement the day Oh Jang Ho died.
She might know about the accomplice.
The accomplice?
(Mi Do, you must've suffered...)
(for so long. I'm sorry I'm like this.)
I'm sorry, Jang Ho.
I had to...
protect our baby.
I'm sorry.
The accomplice...
stood on the basement stairs the day of the abduction.
They moved the body into Baek Soo Hyun's car,
and right before Oh Jang Ho attacked me in my car,
they texted him a photo.
Whether Oh Jang Ho was murdered or he killed himself,
we must find out who the accomplice is.
We can close the case then.
Would Lee Mi Do tell the truth now?
Now,
she might.
Do as I said.
Okay.
(Seoul Nam-Bu Police Station)
I told you not to come here in person again.
So, how are things among the police?
The Commissioner...
wants them to close the case fast.
It went this far...
The fool should've let some things slide.
The problem is that Soo Hyun has the original file.
No.
If we can't eliminate the weakness,
we'll get rid of the one with the weakness.
Right.
Send it off nicely.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Choi will be dealt with some time next week.
(NQ Investment)
I said that you won't suffer the consequences.
Chairman Seo will send over a new CEO next weekend.
The financial problems will be solved then too.
Okay.
See you when this is all over.
Yes.
(CEO Choi Nam Kyu)
(Here's the draft of the memorial ceremony video.)
(If you want any changes made, call us before noon tomorrow.)
Hello. This is Cha Seo Young from BSN.
I heard you produce documentaries.
May I get the director's number?
(River Pictures Director Oh Jang Ho)
I can't reach Director Oh Jang Ho.
Is there another number I can try?
You're making that face again.
Did I?
You know I worry about you, don't you?
I do.
You're the only one who worries about me.
And you act like this?
Why do you flop more each day when you got this far?
Our viewership is higher than any other show.
It's even higher than Soo Hyun's day.
The numbers have never been this high.
After Jun Yeong died...
and until we caught the culprit,
you stayed and delivered the news.
I respect you for that.
So I was thinking,
isn't it time we did it too?
Everyone else is doing it. We should too.
Are you telling me to do Oh Jang Ho's special?
All the victims are here.
It would be stranger if we didn't do it.
With his looks and sad past,
the entire nation pities that scumbag murderer,
which is driving me crazy.
But you want me to help feed the hype?
Even if you don't do it, someone else has to.
Be a pro in times like these.
I'm starting to reach my limit in waiting for you.
I scheduled a meeting.
Go warm up.
(Notice of Disciplinary Action)
(Baek Soo Hyun, Awaiting assignment, For harming company reputation)
At least let him attend the disciplinary hearing first...
before judging him.
Were they all bribed or something?
Seriously.
According to the guys at the police station,
Soo Hyun is being investigated again.
They're trying to kill the guy with their incessant harassing.
I'll keep following up.
Okay, please.
He won't answer his phone,
and it's useless going in person too.
What about the meeting?
The meeting.
Darn it.
("For Eun Ho")
This is everything we received from the police.
Okay.
- Do we have anything new? - Yes.
I tracked Soo Hyun's movements...
in order to trace Oh Jang Ho's movements.
Soo Hyun?
A few days before Oh Jang Ho died,
Soo Hyun had gone to a hotel.
A hotel? Soo Hyun?
Hey. That's crossing the line.
Why are you tracing the victim's movements?
We're not a tabloid.
Go on.
Gosh.
It seems like his car was there from the night before.
Many people saw him show up to pick it up.
This is what we received.
He picked up the car on May 8, a Saturday.
The car was at the hotel since the day before,
but strangely,
Soo Hyun did not go to the hotel the day before.
The day before?
May 7?
It's Eun Soo's car.
After we split at the cafe,
she went up to the hotel?
I've missed you.
I said to be patient.
Don't push me away.
It makes me want more confirmation.
Those two...
were having an affair. And...
for a while, too.
Did you feel guilty?
Then you should've told me to keep quiet.
Isn't that what friends do?
What should be kept a secret?
You pretend to be naive but you're lewd.
You're at a disadvantage.
She never denied having an affair with Oh Jang Ho.
Not even once.
Jae Yeol.
What?
Let's talk in private.
Of all the people to suspect.
Eun Soo was going crazy that day looking for Yeon Woo.
How could you say that?
Really?
Did you see it yourself?
Did you talk to her yourself?
What is wrong with you?
I know things are hard for you, but this is wrong.
It's strange.
Oh Jang Ho's home is plastered with his obsession...
with Eun Soo,
but there isn't a single thing with her name on it.
- What? - A stalker to that level...
should have a letter written to her or something about her in his diary.
But there is nothing.
There should be something that pushed him over the edge.
What are you...
That's because...
Look at the evidence of the crime.
It was very organized.
It's like he's saying he did it, so don't look anywhere else.
But... What are you getting at?
Look at the situation.
It's as if...
he's trying to hide something else. It all fits.
In other words, you're saying...
he was trying to hide his affair with Eun Soo...
and that's why he did that?
What if he wasn't hiding just the affair?
What if he was trying to hide a crime?
You don't think...
They didn't kidnap the wrong kid.
Eun Soo...
Eun Soo was the accomplice.
Hey. You're taking it too far.
It makes no sense.
I have to ask her directly.
Yes.
That would be best.
Hey! Where are you going?
Why are you here?
Do you still...
want to torture my family?
May 7.
Did you have fun...
in the hotel after we split?
You still won't deny it.
What are you trying to do?
The day Jun Yeong died...
What were you doing?
Were you with Oh Jang Ho?
Jun Yeong saw you rolling around in bed, didn't he?
That's why you killed my baby.
- Seo Young. - If not,
why did Soo Hyun...
try to abduct Oh Jang Ho and kill him?
Why did he go to his home...
and have that happen to him?
That day...
Jang Ho was trying to kidnap Yeon Woo.
Jang Ho?
If you weren't working with him,
what were you doing at this time?
What were you doing while your lover was killing my boy?
It's not what you think. That was not our relationship.
Then?
What were you dirty rats doing?
Tell me right now!
Yeon...
Yeon Woo.
Please leave.
- Let's go to your room. - Stay right here.
Stay right here!
You can see.
Is your memory back too?
You saw something that day, didn't you?
Your real dad? Your mom?
What are you doing?
Get off of me! Now, tell me.
Tell me anything that you saw.
Please tell me, Yeon Woo!
Yes. Okay.
Are you Baek Soo Hyun's son?
See you around.
Play your games.
Why didn't you tell him that you're not?
Where are you going?
Hey, where are you going?
Please, Yeon Woo!
Yeon Woo!
Since when...
could you see?
Do you...
remember anything?
I don't know...
if it's a dream or a reality.
My head hurts. I'm going to sleep.
Okay, get some sleep.
(How is the patient's condition? Which tests were conducted?)
(Medical Certificate)
Is this Reporter Nam Koong Hyuk?
I'm Seo Eun Soo.
I heard about you from Mr. Cho.
What about other charges?
They already got the culprit,
so why are the prosecutors holding out?
- Why? - The accusation on a hit-and-run.
It was a traffic accident.
But it's not a hit-and-run.
I even kindly dropped him off in front of his house.
Hey! I'm paying you...
to prove things like this!
They haven't processed Bae Gyeong Sook's statement yet.
Is she still saying I collected Kim Seok Pil's corpse?
Darn it, she's so stubborn.
- What about Mr. Choi? - Give up on his side.
He got rid of everything, even his director position.
It's meaningless to hold on to the evidence...
of playing with money.
He must've made a deal with Chairman Seo.
Darn it.
So tell me what card you're holding. That's simple.
The culprit's already out,
so why would I shoot myself in the foot?
The charges Bae Gyeong Sook pressed against you.
What's that, the foundation's embezzlement?
You better handle that properly.
The investigation's going to get longer.
It could even lead to a trial,
or it could end quickly.
You have something up your sleeve, don't you?
A card that I don't know.
Right?
It's so big that it can become my lifeline.
The extra Shares Agreements under your name.
You already signed them all, right?
Yes.
According to Lawyer Kim,
they're done being processed legally as well.
Good.
- What about Choi Se Ra? - Choi Se Ra?
I don't know.
My friends said she's leaving the country soon.
Has she not contacted you since then?
No other demands or anything?
No, not really.
She doesn't have anything else she wants?
That's not the kind of girl she is.
I think...
you should go back first.
Make sure to watch your mouth.
Don't worry.
I don't want to get involved in this as well.
Until she flies off,
watch her carefully in case she does anything funny.
(Seo Jeong Wook)
(Private account)
(Seo Jeong Wook)
Why are you calling out of nowhere?
Hey, why aren't you flying off?
- Then what about you? - For me, well...
I'm here to visit my mom.
You didn't do that before,
so why are you going there to visit her so often?
What a good son you are.
Hey, you're not plotting something, are you?
I should be the one saying that.
Don't do something you didn't use to.
Or you might die.
You better watch out.
Okay?

(I'm sorry I'm such a bad person.)
Why did Oh Jang Ho...
send you such a text right before he died?
I don't know.
Maybe...
he might've found out the truth about me.
After reading the text,
didn't you think Oh Jang Ho will confess?
That's why you contacted his accomplice...
because you got anxious.
What are you saying?
An accomplice?
Oh Jang Ho...
might've committed suicide.
The accomplice you mentioned.
Could it have been...
for that accomplice?
Do you have anyone in mind?
It must have been that someone...
who was as desperate as Jang Ho.
Normally, people would ask back at me...
about why I think he committed suicide.
But you...
look like you expected it.
The real reason why you met Mr. Cho at the hotel.
Did Chairman Seo make you keep an eye on Oh Jang Ho?
Isn't that why you approached him pretending to be blind...
and reported everything to him?
Stop this. There's no reason for me to be questioned like this.
What you saw with your own eyes.
You just need to tell me that.
When I was with Jang Ho,
I always had my eyes closed.
I didn't see anything.
(Jaekang 2021 Global Seminar)
You don't exactly belong here.

Oh Jang Ho was dangerous...

Yes, it's true that Mi Do didn't meet Oh Jang Ho...
by coincidence.
But she did...
fall in love with him...
and got pregnant by accident.
It never should've happened.
Why does the chairman...
want this case closed so urgently?
Weren't you the one who led Baek Soo Hyun...
into Oh Jang Ho's house?
Why are you suddenly getting in the way?

that he expects you...
to keep the promise you made at all costs.
What is all this?
Did you forget?
Jun Yeong's memorial service is tonight.
You wanted the photos for the service.
Cancel it.
I can't do it.
We already postponed it once. We can't cancel it.
I need to know the truth.
I can't do anything until then.
The truth?
The accomplice.
Why do you need to know that?
The police will find out.
At first, I thought it might be Eun Soo.
But...
everyone's suspicious.
Everyone knows something...
about Jun Yeong's death.
Everyone is holding...
a piece of evidence in their hands.
Why did you...
make a false statement regarding Assemblyman Hwang?
You met him that night.
That's why you gave me the photo.
Does it have something to do with Se Ra?
- Does it? - You're even suspecting me?
Where are all the files...
that were on the table?
I threw them away.
You threw them away?
Where?
How could you throw them away?
Please!
You got everything you wanted.
The investigation is almost coming to an end.
So please.
Let's just forget about it.
Let me breathe.
You want me to keep running away?
Don't do anything you'll regret.
Canceling the memorial service is already enough.
No more.
You've done enough.
(Special Investigation Headquarters)
The financial crime team gave us the files later than expected.
I guess they're useless now.
These files are regarding Jun Yeong's father, right?
Yes. It's something they've been investigating,
so I think they purposely took time to hand it over to us.
They only gave us half the files.
Why are they investigating him?
They noticed something strange about the flow of funds.
Apparently, their earnings rate is unbelievably high.
The audit team already had their eyes on the issue.
There was a bank involved,
but I guess they still found it suspicious.
Okay, thanks.
Sure.

What are you looking at? Get back to work.
Let me ask you something. Is it true?
That's not important.
Pull yourself together.
That's the most important issue.
They're clouding the issue.
What are you talking about?
Oh Jang Ho's home.
Did it make sense to you?
Right after the abduction,
he didn't destroy the evidence that could incriminate himself.
Do you understand...
why that is?
It was more like a gallery than a sealed room.
Like he was screaming for people to look.
The spot where Jun Yeong was found looked the same.
It was a place that was...
easily spotted.
Let's say you're right.
What does that have to do with your issue from the news?
Jun Yeong.
Kim Seok Pil, Park Seong Hwan,
Seo Jeong Wook, Bae Gyeong Sook,
Hwang Tae Seob, Oh Jang Ho.
And Soo Hyun too.
Don't you think they're moving in circles?
As if they're trapped in an orb someone created?
Talk to me, Chief.
You got out of it.
You're dissecting it too much.
I'm sorry to say this, but this case...
was a combination of sad coincidences.
- You know that. - What if...
someone created them to hide something?
If you're going to talk about the original file like Soo Hyun...
No. It's not that.
Something else.
I'm Seo Gi Tae's daughter.
I can get a copy of Jun Yeong's medical records...
whenever I want.
Like Oh Jang Ho...
displayed the evidence to hide all traces of Eun Soo,
this time they're using me to cover her tracks again.
What were you doing while your lover was killing my boy?
It's not what you think. That was not our relationship.
You can see.
Wait and see.
I will make Eun Soo tell the truth herself.
(Cha Seo Young suspected of long-term child abuse)
You started it.
Back then...
and now.
(Cha Seo Young)
(Cha Seo Young: I know a secret that will ruin your lives.)
(Unless you want me to speak around Yeon Woo, meet me alone.)
(Seo Eun Soo)
(Come to my workroom.)
I couldn't get his psychiatry records.
They want to see a warrant.
We're waiting for one.
The hypnosis was a dud too.
- What? - It's nothing.
What's he doing?
In Yeongsan,
you said you dealt with it...
the best you could.
Do you still think you did the right thing?
Kim Hyun Seo.
The girl your father killed.
You knew everything,
yet you destroyed her body and the evidence.
Then you kept quiet. Like right now.
This is my answer.
Tell Dong Pil that I kept my promise.
Dong Pil...
was blamed because he was seeing Hyun Seo.
He was let go for lack of evidence,
but he was branded a murderer.
If you had told the truth then,
Dong Pil wouldn't have had to leave his hometown,
and maybe...
he'd still be alive.
What you wanted to find in that house.
Was it really evidence of the abduction?
Evidence of Oh Jang Ho and your wife's affair.
- Wasn't that what you were after? - Cut it off.
He stalked her. Eun Soo was not involved.
Then cooperate with us.
If you don't want us to get her involved.
Tell me.
Why did Oh Jang Ho torment you?
Do you want there to be another victim?
If you don't, talk to me!
What do you mean by another victim?
I found the accomplice.
The person you have reached is not...
- What is it? - Change of venue.
Come to the roof of the Life Building in Hanseo-dong.
We'll find out everything there.
Don't worry.
It's because you need to be there for me to find out.
You want to help too, right?
Excuse me.
Where's Yeon Woo?
He isn't back yet from his session.
Should I call Mr. Kim?
(Seo Eun Soo)
Shim Seok Hoon speaking.
I'm sorry. It's very urgent.
Soo Hyun is still being questioned, right?
May I talk to him...
Just a minute.
Take it. It's Eun Soo.
What is it?
Yeon Woo...
Yeon Woo's gone.
- Honey, where are you? - Honey,
Yeon Woo...
He's gone?
I think it was Seo Young. She says she wants to hear the truth...
about that day.
Where are you?
- What's going on? - Yeon Woo was kidnapped.
What is it?
- Go with him. - What about you?
Get going!
Are you cold?
A little.
I can see,
but I don't remember.
It's the truth.
I know that you're lying.
If you won't tell me, your mom will.
Ma'am.
Yeon Woo. I know it's late,
but remember that balloon in our garden?
And the letter you gave Jun Yeong?
Thank you for that.
It was nothing.
I've done many bad things,
so I was too afraid to think about Jun Yeong.
But now, I want to know...
why he had to die like that.
Can you understand me?
Mom.
Yeon Woo.
He did nothing wrong.
Please don't do this.
Don't come closer. I won't do anything.
Please, Seo Young.
Tell me from there. What happened that day?
Okay.
Just send Yeon Woo to me.
Not until you tell me the truth.
I had never once been loved.
Soo Hyun...
was always looking elsewhere.
Then suddenly, Jang Ho appeared.
At first,
I thought he confused me for Eun Ho.
I felt sorry for him since he lost both his wife and child.
So? Is that why you had an affair? And you wanted to hide that fact?
That wasn't our relationship. You have the wrong idea.
He loved me...
almost frighteningly so. But on his own.
It felt uncomfortable,
but I felt like I was looking at myself.
He reminded me of how I was with Soo Hyun.
That was why I pitied. I sympathized with him.
That was all.
Perhaps...
I took advantage of his feelings...
when things were tough for me.
You know...
Answer me! Now!
Ma'am. It hurts.
Why did someone obsessed with you kill my son?
Why did my son have to die like that?
You know the reason.
Tell me.
Everything.
Just a minute.
Put this on. That way, we'll know what's going on.
I'm sure you're worried about Yeon Woo,
but please just listen and buy us some time.
Everyone will be here within five minutes.
Don't upset her before then.
That was what Detective Shim said to tell you.
Just a minute.
We've reached the helipad.
Dad.
Let him go.
If I do,
you two will try to lie to me again. I won't let that happen.
I know why Jun Yeong died.
Please promise to let Yeon Woo go.
No.
Tell me first.
I brought your son...
all the way up to this high place,
but you still won't talk.
Must another child die for you to talk?
No!
It was because of me.
I'm the root cause.
Oh Jang Ho did it to punish me.
He kidnapped Yeon Woo to punish me,
but things went south. And then...
he killed Jun Yeong.
Eun Soo and Yeon Woo had nothing to do with it. So please
Why did he want to punish you?
Tell me right now!
I'll give you the signal in a few minutes.
Okay.
Fill me in.
Cha Seo Young is demanding...
that Baek Soo Hyun tell her the truth about that day.
Where's the rescue team?
They're still setting up and will need time.
Connect me to the earpiece.
Tell me right now.
Because Jun Yeong...
What about Jun Yeong?
Continue.
Keep talking.
Talk!
Because Jun Yeong was my son.
Oh Jang Ho found out...
that Jun Yeong was my son.
Stop it! Yeon Woo is listening!
So what?
What did Oh Jang Ho do about that?
Once he found out that he kidnapped the wrong child,
he probably remembered that he was mine.
And I'm guessing that's why he killed him.
And the accomplice?
Who was the accomplice?
Well...
Yeon Woo!
Don't even dream of it.
Yeon Woo is innocent.
Please stop!
My son was innocent too!
Ma... Ma'am.
I'm... I'm scared.
Dad. Mom.
I know you don't want to hurt Yeon Woo.
So please...
Don't come near me.
I warned you.
Yeon Woo.
Mom.
This is Detective Shim Seok Hoon.
I'll tell you what you want to know.
I'll tell you about the accomplice.
The day the abduction took place,
the kidnapper asked for 2.5 million dollars in crypto.
First, send us 2.5 million dollars via cryptocurrency.
I want 2.5 million dollars in cryptocurrency...
and 500,000 dollars in cash.
And 500,000 dollars worth of cash.
(Details on deposits made to overseas branch)
The day after the incident, which was March 2,
your husband wired...
a total of 2.5 million dollars to an offshore bank account.
Where are all the files that were on the table?
I threw them away.
Please. Let's just forget about it.
And the day after that, which was March 3,
he withdrew 130,000 dollars from his domestic account,
and I'm assuming he had to pay Assemblyman Hwang...
to stop him from blackmailing him.
I'm more scared of Chairman Seo than going to prison.
It was all done by your husband.
His company has been struggling financially for two years.
He started messing with the company funds,
and he got caught by two people.
The first person was Assemblyman Hwang.
And the other person was Oh Jang Ho.
No.
That can't be.
It can't be.
Your husband was in desperate need of money.
However, there's more to it than money.
Oh Jang Ho told your husband the truth...
about Jun Yeong.
He told your husband the secret behind Jun Yeong's birth.
I'm Jun Yeong's biological father.
Is that what you wanted...
to hide?
All this time?
Atonement?
Is this what you call atonement?
Well, you're wrong!
You're just...
committing another crime! You know that?
That turned into your husband's strongest motive.
The two people...
who wanted to hurt Soo Hyun the most worked together.
That can't be.
I'd be a fool to expect you to feel guilty.
Why should I feel guilty when the culprit is someone else?
Do you even know what I did after Jun Yeong died?
Even when he was dying, I was...
I'm sorry.
I should've just uncovered the truth and given up.
What kind of son was Choi Jun Yeong?
I can't do this anymore.
Ma'am.
It has to be Oh Jang Ho and Seo Eun Soo.
Seo Eun Soo.
It has to be you.
Seo Young.
The person you need to punish...
is me.
I am...
the other person...
who caused Jun Yeong to die.
No.
That can't be.
- It's all a lie. - Yeon Woo.
Dad.
- Are you okay? - Dad.
It's okay.
Soo Hyun is done for as of today.
I'm going to make everyone point their fingers at him.
Dad.
I need a witness.
I'm not ready to fall yet.
Why are you doing this?
I learned something after I lost it all.
That what I had was like a handful of sand.
I didn't care what kind of person you were and what kind of life...
you had lived.
From now on, don't do anything.
Stop looking for Eun Soo.
