(This is a fictional story. All the characters, areas,)
(institutions, religions, and events in this drama are fictitious.)
The day I chose to stay silent.
That was the beginning of my deep, dark past.
A prison with no lock.
No matter how hard I try to run, I always find myself there again.
Your beliefs end up...
- hurting a lot of people, you know. - Just like back then,
you never hesitate.
This time, you won't betray me, will you?
How are you different from me?
You did it. You killed him.
- You killed him! - That's why you're more suspicious.
Every time you hide something, a body shows up.
Even now. Like back then!
Why are you doing this?
Is it because of the news report? Is that why?
Blame it on all your mistakes.
Don't you think that brat deserves to die?
You should know your place before you talk.
I'll kill you!
I like your answer.
Cut the nonsense.
I never gave you an answer.
Even if you...
keep your mouth shut, your body speaks for you.
That's what you're doing right now.
Soo Hyun, what's the matter?
- What's going on? What is it? - Mom, you need to run.
- What? - You can't be here.
What's the matter with you?
Mom, hurry.
You go first. I'll take the next bus.
Soo Hyun.
We have no time. We'll both die at this rate.
(Automatic door)
The moment I chose to run away...
was the starting point of my sin.
I will never be able to escape...
from that prison that has no lock.
What are you doing?
I apologize for the pause.
As soon as I heard Ms. Cha's question,
that day suddenly flashed before my eyes.
I believed the right thing to do was to keep my feelings to myself.
But please understand that I must talk about it...
in order to answer the question.
Sure.
That rainy day...
was when I felt the most desperate throughout my entire life.
Why are you doing this?
Blame it on all your mistakes.
It was the first time I resented myself...
for always wanting to broadcast the truth.
I never played catch with him. It's just a game.
The man who drove his car...
to save his son that day...
wasn't Baek Soo Hyun, the anchor.
He was just a father...
who was desperate to save his son.
Choi Jun Yeong...
was also my child.
Hello, you've reached Assemblyman Hwang Tae Seob's office.
Hello?
Oh, hello.
What do you mean?
He was my son's friend...
and my colleague's precious son,
so that's how much I cared for him.
Right.
So even if I had known that the kid who got kidnapped was Jun Yeong,
I still would've done my best to save him.
I see.
I believe the viewers would agree with me.
I will gladly accept the rebuke and resentment...
you have toward me.
I failed to save your son,
and I sincerely apologize for that.
Thank you for caring for him like your own...
and mourning his death with me.
I'd also like to sincerely thank everyone who's watching.
Let me carry on with the interview.
What kind of son...
was Jun Yeong?
He meant the world to me.
(Choi Jun Yeong)
He took after his father,
so he was very talented...
and had a lot of curiosity for things.
But Jun Yeong lost everything due to the kidnapping incident.
I hope that the culprit...
is watching this right now.
Once again, I'm sorry for your loss.
We, the staff of News Night, promise...
to do our best to report this case until the very end.
(Episode 6)
Soo Hyun. I'm not that ambitious.
I can push carts for the rest of my life.
Let me have a long and event-less career.
Okay?
Monitor.
In.
(Abduction)
The abduction took everything from Jun Yeong.
And it gave you everything.
Though you didn't get your way tonight.
Kwon Yeo Jin speaking.
My fingerprints on the master key?
I visited Royal the Hill many times before.
My prints could've gotten on it at any time.
Must you question me about that?
(Seoil Foundation Scholarship Ceremony)
Can you look at me, please?
Are you ready? One, two, three.
I'll take one more photo. One more.
Ready?
Look over here.
(Scholarship Certificate)
(Seoil Foundation Scholarship Ceremony)
Stand still.
Let's go home.
Come along.
(Chief Kwon Yeo Jin)
Sir.
The Special Investigation Headquarters...
asked you to come in for questioning.
(Chief Kwon Yeo Jin)
Let's go to the meeting.
Yes, sir.
The person you have reached is not available. Please leave...
(620821 Hwang)
(Fingerprint Analysis)
(Match to Hwang Tae Seob)
(Match to Kwon Yeo Jin)
Did you request to see them for questioning?
They'll just refuse.
The head of security says he doesn't know.
I poked, so they'll flutter.
I want to see what they do.
Okay.
What about Seo Jeong Wook and Choi Se Ra?
They won't be prosecuted.
You said we should follow the law.
We did.
The other kids in the video changed their statements.
They said that...
Jeong Wook and Choi Se Ra fell for their prank.
They decided to take the fall.
How much were they paid?
Are you looking into the junkyards?
I looked all day but nothing yet.
Keep looking.
The car vanished the night of the abduction.
When I asked about the car,
Jeong Wook gave a stiff answer as if he'd memorized what to say.
He had the car scrapped.
I know it's tough, but keep going.
Okay.
But do you think we'll find anything?
If they reported the car stolen when it wasn't,
unless they're idiots, would they leave any trace?
So?
They must have paid cash to have the car scrapped,
and paid a fortune to silence the staff.
You can tell by the way they were let off.
- You're still here? - Pardon?
You're still here?
But I just got back.
Detective Kim needs back-up.
- Okay. - Sure.
I'll see how far they flutter.
Hello. You did great.
I'll return the favor with food, not alcohol.
Yes.
Once you're arrested, admit to taking drugs.
So they focus on that.
Once you're arrested, I'll turn myself in.
When you see me at the police station,
(48 hours ago)
freak out as if you're worried sick.
Like how you shudder around your dad.
Darn you!
What then?
We'll each say the opposite.
I blame you, and you blame me.
So they don't figure out we're accomplices.
Then we can get out.
Do your job.
If we can't get out,
we're both done for.
Are you acting again?
Quit frowning.
What if the police figured it out?
So what if they did?
Is there any proof?
Did you clean it all up?
Yes. Mom had the car scrapped.
Then she must've paid the people to keep quiet too.
Yes.
If people like you start to worry, then things go wrong.
So please, make sure your head is an accessory and nothing more.
Okay?
We should've helped him.
We should've.
Hey, your sense of guilt is so convenient.
Use that when it comes in handy,
not just at any random time.
You psychopath.
How are you so normal when your brother died?
Do you even feel anything?
Does crying change anything?
If things are shaken up once more, we'll be forgotten.
We'll forget too.
So...
please put away...
that idiotic face.
Darn you. You startled me!
There we go.
The person you have reached is not available. Please leave a message.
You will be charged after the tone.
- Thank you. - Good work.
Bye.
- Good work. - Thank you.

("Cha Seo Young Exclusive Interview Regarding Kidnapping")
Even if I had known in advance that Jun Yeong had been kidnapped,
I would've done everything I could.
I apologize sincerely...
for failing to save him.
(Choi Nam Kyu: Se Ra's problem was taken care of.)
How long will you test me?
Today was about me. Did you have to steal my thunder?
So don't put me on your scale ever again.
You were relieved that Jun Yeong died.
You would've given up if you had known it was him.
Will you not stop until you get the answer that you want?
What do you gain by dragging me into the sewer with you?
We're in the sewer together.
I won't condone your getting out alone.
I'm doing everything I can!
You are?
You want to fool me too? The entire public isn't enough?
You sit behind your desk, babbling about your beliefs?
Fraud.
Just don't do anything. It's sickening!
You seem different.
I've reached my limit.
- That's enough. - You can't be like this already.
The fun hasn't begun yet.
What do you mean?
You said Eun Soo was all you had left to lose, right?
What if you've already lost her?
What will you do then?
I warned you...
not to bring her into this again.
You suspected her when you saw her at the hotel.
Honey. Your neck.
My neck? Where?
Why are you...
bringing that up now?
Well...
I want you to suffer.
I want you to struggle...
until you realize...
I'm your only solution.
- Don't try anything stupid. - Ask her...
about the uninvited guest...
at the third-day rite.
What do you...
Do you still have insomnia?
I know all about it.
Sleep deprivation hinders judgment.
Take your medicine.
Think it over.
And give up.
Whatever it may be.
You can never step down from my scale.
(Assemblyman Hwang Tae Seob)
(Hwang Tae Seob 2015, Hwang Tae Seob 2016)
Why didn't you answer your phone?
I had no idea.
My bad.
Good job on your interview.
Meet me there. Don't think about refusing.
Why are you so irritable?
Because Soo Hyun got the better of you?
So don't you make me a supporting character too.
I'm sick of being number two.
I'd like to change my prescription.
The symptoms are getting worse.
I'll go tomorrow morning.
Please disappear.
I've changed. I'm not the same person!
What's going on?
This isn't about the past, is it?
Later. Let's talk about it later.
Soo Hyun.
Soo Hyun. Talk to me.
Soo Hyun. Wait.
Darn it.
Just don't do anything. It's sickening!
Just don't do anything. It's sickening.
(Wife)
You suspected her when you saw her at the hotel.
You can never step down from my scale.
(Wife)
The person you have reached is not available.
How could family turn their swords on one another?
It's too nerve-racking.
I didn't say that to worry you.
Okay.
You must feel uncomfortable, but stay here with Yeon Woo...
for a few more days.
Yeon Woo is your child,
but he is also my only grandson.
And you're also my only child.
Things might get noisy in the morning.
I have a duty to protect my family.
Can Soo Hyun do the same?
Just wait for another day or two.
Everything will get settled soon.
Okay, I will.
Good.
And is everything going well nowadays?
Yes.
Things are okay.
Make sure no news doesn't come back to bite you.
Sure, that won't happen.
(Gallery)
Pick up the call. It must be about your exhibition.
It's too bad that it keeps getting postponed.
- Let me take this call. - Okay.
- Mr. Oh! - Mr. Oh.
We'll get going first.
Show up in front of me again without telling me,
and our relationship is over.
I'm about to lose my mind.
But you keep pushing me away.
There's no other way.
Do you regret it?
Because you think that one mistake is snowballing?
I never thought it was a mistake.
Then are you fine with Soo Hyun...
finding out about our relationship?
- I asked if you're fine with it! - Let's stop everything.
I'm tired too. I'll just...
confess our relationship to my husband.
Then everything will be over.
- Then you won't be able to have me. - Hold on.
Hello?
Let's stop.
I'm too tired.
I didn't mean that.
It feels like I'm the only one who wants you, so...
No, I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I won't do it again. I'll hold it in and wait for you.
Please...
Don't abandon me.
Keep your promise. Then I won't abandon you.
I will. I will make sure to keep my promise.
I'm sorry.
You know how I feel, right?
My feelings for you...
are real.
Jang Ho.
Will you go in first?
I'll join you soon.
What's wrong with your voice?
I think I need to edit my script.
The investor is requesting a lot of things.
You have to continue doing it, right?
I have to.
Go in first. I'll be there soon.
So you can't get in touch with Jeong Wook?
Ever since he left the station, I can't reach him.
I apologize.
- What about Director Bae? - I checked again.
Throughout my life,
I learnt that one thing you can't trust is people's mouths.
I can't possibly rip that mouth.
Once Jeong Wook comes back,
I should send him into exile with his mom.
Dump him in the States.
Yes, sir.
Oh, and...
Everything's fine with them, right?
Secretary Lee is keeping a close eye on him.
Make sure to watch Baek Soo Hyun closely.
No matter how broken the family is,
we must get the most out of it.
Yes, sir.
- Here. - My goodness.
- Let me pour you a drink. - Gosh, thank you.
Here.
Please put in a good word for me to Chairman Seo.
Why would you bring up...
the oceanfront tourism development plan again
when it was already decided?
Gosh.
I was just going to pretend to run the government fairly...
for show, but it caused some misunderstandings.
Chairman Seo must be very angry.
He won't even pick up my calls.
My gosh.
Once Chairman Seo gets angry, it's not easy to appease him.
Listen.
I prepared something even better for dessert.
- Here, let's toast. - Sure.
- Here. - Please put in a good word for me.
- Okay, sure. - Thanks for the food.
Let's go.
- Goodbye. - See you again.
- Sure, see you again. - Thank you.
Here.
Have some.
Right.
You don't find it appetizing because it's a leftover?
Even rotten fish can be served to a king if it's fermented well.
This is nothing.
Something keeps getting stuck between my teeth.
And it won't come out.
This is why I got multiple dental insurances.
You don't know when your teeth will turn bad.
Look at you.
I mean, I can perfectly sort out the stuff on my own.
You didn't have to come all the way here...
just for getting called in for the police questioning.
You can't stay still because you'll be joining the Blue House?
The questioning isn't the issue.
I'm worried that I might take the blame for everything.
And the one which can't stay still seems to be your waist,
not me.
Ms. Kwon.
You're speaking as if you're already at the top of the Blue House.
- Should I flip the table? - You shouldn't...
show off your strength here.
What?
I was wondering why you're rejuvenating recently.
You had a rather unique reason.
A secretive hobby of the assemblyman who got elected four times.
It won't just end as a scandal.
Hey!
If my political life is over,
do you think you'll be fine?
We should survive together.
And take a commemorative photo at the Blue House too.
Please take care of it for me.
(620821 Hwang)
Will you deal with...
Baek Soo Hyun?
Like I said,
I took out a lot of insurances.
The alcohol tastes great...
now that I'm drinking with a sly fox.
Lay out a silk road for me,
and I'll become even slier.
You say things that are going to cause our big shot a headache.
It means you only say things that are going to cost him money.
Eat up.
Let me know as soon as the banks close tomorrow.
Okay, sir.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Check our initial investment...
and switch the dividends to the other fund.
Our earnings rate is dropping. Will this be okay?
What exactly are you worried about?
That we're manipulating the law or that we're violating it?
Just make sure there are no rumors.
Okay, sir.
Did you postpone the internal audit?
Yes, for now.
Good. And...
make a report regarding Chairman Seo's investments.
I need to report to him soon.
You mean the two million dollars you mentioned last time?
- Yes. - What will he be investing in?
Is it unknown again?
It's best that we stay out of his financial transactions.
It's not a lot of money, so just do the usual.
Okay, I will.
(CEO Choi Nam Kyu)
At least pretend like you're glad to see me.
What brings you here?
I'm coming from...
a scholarship ceremony run by another foundation.
Do you know why?
Because I have no money coming in because of Chairman Seo.
I thought you both talked about it.
That's what you think.
If you put it that way, that also means I paid you back.
I told you we're done.
Then what should we do?
Should we both report each other to the police?
We both know that neither of us...
can do that.
Exactly.
That's why we're here meeting each other at this hour.
You go to prison even if you steal from a robber.
But you see,
I'm more scared of Chairman Seo than going to prison.
At least, that's how I feel.
Give me a few days.
You're not going to flee to Macao like you did before, right?
Just worry about yourself.
Have you forgotten what we had to go through...
because of your ugly habit?
I don't even remember what I ate ten minutes ago.
This better be...
the last time.
I'm sorry, but we'll be seeing each other again...
for a very long time.
Let's go.
Okay, sir.
What's that noise?
Oh, well...
I guess the glovebox isn't shut properly.
Oh, okay. Good bye.
Okay.
Our ancestors used to say,
"Hate the sin, not the sinner." Is that correct?
Yes.
Then I should abide by our ancestors' wisdom.
Tell Hwang Tae Seob to come see me at dawn.
Okay, sir.
But wait.
Our ancestors never told us to forgive that sin, right?
I'm going to be busy tomorrow.
Go get some rest.
Okay, sir.
Where did it go?
Seong Ja.
Did you do something to one of my shoes?
Stop being suspicious of me.
We already have enough to worry about because of your bad habit.
And...
what's this photo?
It's a photo of an old man caring for a poor, pitiful kid.
What about it? It's a nice photo.
Are you sure it's not a dirty hobby of a middle-aged man?
Are you trying to share it with the entire country?
I'll end up like Hillary Clinton.
Bill Clinton at least had an affair with a young woman.
- But you... - Don't give me another speech.
Why did you have to get this photo taken after Jun Yeong died?
I heard the police called you in.
Please be more careful.
Where did it go?
Look for it later. How are things going with Chairman Seo?
He wants me to see me tomorrow.
What did I tell you? I told you I'll take care of it.
Wait.
He wants to meet you after he got a few calls from those old men?
He probably had no other choice.
Those assemblymen told him what they wanted,
so he should at least pretend to act on it.
No, I have a bad feeling.
It's also strange that he's involved in the memorial ceremony.
What memorial ceremony?
Chairman Seo uploaded a notification...
that the gates of Royal the Hill will be open to the public...
for the dead boy's memorial ceremony.
Why is he suddenly concerned about the dead boy?
How would I know?
And you shouldn't know either.
I told you numerous times that it wasn't me!
You may not have killed him.
Are you kidding?
- Listen. - Don't say anything.
It's better that I never find out.
Anyway, make sure you lie flat on the floor...
when you meet Chairman Seo.
You can't let him attack you in order to stay alive.
I should wear a nice pair of shoes...
to protect myself. No, not these.
I'll think about how to prepare ourselves.
Honey.
Hey.
What are you doing in the dark?
Didn't you hear me come in?
Why didn't you answer my calls?
You called?
Honey, do you have insomnia again?
Don't worry.
I'll be fine once I change my prescription.
How's Yeon Woo?
I think he's having a tough time.
He got sick after we came back from the third-day rite.
Ask Eun Soo...
about the unwelcome guests...
to the third-day rite.
Did something happen...
at the third-day rite?
No.
You must be Yeon Woo's uncle. Thank you for coming.
Thanks for coming.
Why?
You said he got sick after the rite.
Yeon Woo, I mean.
I guess thinking about Jun Yeong stressed him out.
It would've.
I think...
we should wait a bit longer before coming back.
Until Yeon Woo feels better.
Okay.
I'm sorry I can't be around to look after you.
Yeon Woo should be your priority.
You just dropped by, didn't you? I'll drive you back.
A bit later.
You haven't eaten, have you?
I'll cook you something.
That would make me feel better.
Shall we go on a trip after this report's over?
- A trip? - Yes.
By then, it should...
all be over.
Let's take a long break. With Yeon Woo.
Okay.
Until then, I'll try a bit harder.
(Chief Kwon)
(Call rejected)
(Chief Kwon)
(Call rejected)
My neck? Where?
No. I've been getting lots of spam calls.
Did something happen at the third-day rite?
No. Why?
I guess thinking about Jun Yeong stressed him out.
Until then, I'll try a bit harder.
What you said...
at the very end.
What did that mean?
I don't remember anything...
from that day.
Why do you think I can't remember anything?
Hey.
I can't see.
I can't see anything.
Is this everything?
Should there be something else?
Of course, not.
For either you or me.
(Seo Eun Soo)
Hey.
Sorry, I'm not at home.
I'll text the address.
- It must've been heated. - You're late.
I won't be next time.
- I'll bring something prettier. - Until this weekend?
- I'll try to hurry. - See you later.
I have plans.
You're finally acting more like yourself.
Did you just not see what you wanted to see?
So what is it?
What do you have that I don't?
Is it Soo Hyun?
You can tell me anything. I'm your friend.
But you can't go and tell Soo Hyun just anything.
He's your friend's husband.
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.
Like a mom...
who pretends to be doting but secretly drugs her son?
You're at a disadvantage.
What can you do with a bottle of pills?
Do you think...
people will believe you?
You can deny it all you want,
but I'm Seo Gi Tae's daughter.
I can get a copy of Jun Yeong's medical records...
whenever I want.
Is this because of Soo Hyun?
You two are amazing.
You pretend to care for each other although you don't love each other.
Your goal is to become famous, right?
My goal is to protect my family.
So don't tell Soo Hyun anything.
Do you think he won't find out if I don't tell him?
If you don't tell him, he'll pretend not to know.
That's what...
he's like.
You must know him well.
More than you.
Both of you are frightening.
It's me. Get rid of my medical records.
Call the hospital director right now!
Medical records?
What's this?
Did you know too?
What are you doing here?
Why couldn't I reach you yesterday?
You acted like the tragic hero.
You're seriously no joke.
You knew that the woman was drugging Jun Yeong.
Hello, Director Park.
Well... I'm calling about our medical records.
I'm surrounded by psychos.
(Gallery)
So what?
I can't sleep.
Aren't you sleeping?
I said don't make me repeat myself.
- Can't we sleep together? - Darn it!
I said to take your pills.
Okay? Stop annoying me.
Okay.
Go to sleep.
Okay.
(Cha Seo Young)
Like a mom who pretends to be doting...
but secretly drugs her son?
Your goal is to become famous, right?
My goal is to protect my family.
So don't tell Soo Hyun anything.
If you don't tell him,
he'll pretend not to know. That's what...
he's like.
Hello? River Pictures.
Hello. This is Cha Seo Young from BSN.
Hello.
I heard you produce documentaries.
May I get the director's number?
Okay. Do you have a pen and paper?
Yes, of course.
Go ahead.
- What is it? - Hello, sir.
I'm calling because check-out has ended.
I'll pay the extra fee!
Darn it. Seriously.
Slow down.
We need to find him quickly.
Slow down. You'll cause an accident.
Let go.
Hey. Pull over up there.
Pull over.
Darn it. What's going on?
Can't you see? It's probably a blackout.
Look ahead.
Darn!
Do you have proof?
You took care of it, right?
I'm sure you did.
You probably paid everyone to shut up.
(Unread messages.)
(Mom)
Darn it.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Call me now.
Ms. Yang. You did this last time too.
This is a bit...
rude of you.
I know.
But now is not the time for us to care about manners.
Tell me.
Who decides...
when it's the right time or not?
Chairman Seo forgives people, but he never forgives their sins.
- You know that, right? - What?
If my husband and your son stay unprepared,
they'll end up losing everything.
What will you do then?
We need to hold hands, Ms. Bae.
Let's talk next time. Today, I'm...
I can also force you to hold hands with me.
Does the chairman know that you and Mr. Cho...
are sleeping together?
Haven't you learned your lesson last time?
How dare you try to challenge me, you old fox?
Didn't I tell you not to eavesdrop?
Why haven't you learned that yet? You're an educated woman.
You're neither on the chairman's will nor family register.
Doesn't that scare you?
Do you think I came this far by doing nothing?
What a fool.
Just make sure your husband doesn't cause trouble.
Don't act up and end up losing everything.
Get off me!
Stand up already. You're hurting your legs.
No.
If this will make you forgive me, I will gladly stay on my knees.
There's actually something else you can do for me.
I'll do anything. Just say the word.
Just give me one thing.
The original copy.
The original copy that Kim Seok Pil had.
Where is it?
The original copy?
I don't have it.
The fact that you tried to stab me in the back proves that you have it.
Am I wrong?
Sir.
Why would I lie to you again?
(Psychiatrist Nam Woo Seok)
Just don't do anything. It's sickening!
You said Eun Soo was all you had left to lose, right?
- What if you've already lost her? - My neck? Where?
I'll try a bit harder.
Just don't do anything. It's sickening.
Just say the truth.
You were there that day.
Why won't you say anything?
What is it? Are you the culprit?
- Are you? - Dong Pil.
- Calm down. - How can I calm down?
The police think I did it. They think I killed her!
She's still missing.
Everything will be okay once they find her.
If he doesn't say anything,
my life will be over.
I'll make sure you get released.
I promise.
Hey.
Why can't you just say what you saw?
Then Dong Pil will get released.
I told you that I'll deal with it.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Why are you being silent?
This is my answer.
Tell Dong Pil that I kept my promise.
- It's been a while. - A believable suspect,
a timely witness, and the investigation.
You and I meeting here. All of that is a coincidence?
What's your point?
You're quiet again like always.
Thank you.
I'll prescribe you stronger drugs...
along with some emergency medicine.
But you still need to be careful.
There's a limit to taking sedatives and sleeping pills.
- You'll build a tolerance for them. - Okay.
Don't let your past eat you up.
Sir.
I don't think this is necessary.
You know what will happen...
if Kim Seok Pil's original copy goes public, right?
Everyone's already causing a fuss because of a copy.
But once they find an original copy,
tons of men will have to step down from their positions.
You know that, right?
Not only will the two of us end up in jail,
but your political career will come to an end,
and I'll be out of jail way past 90.
Sir.
I know that better than anyone, so why would I lie?
This is bad.
No one will think that I shot an assemblyman.
They will think it was an accident.
I'll just have to pay a small fine for possession of arms.
But do you think you'll be okay?
Are you okay with spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair?
I swear I don't have it! I never even saw it!
I swear, sir.
A great start can lead to bad endings.
I couldn't reach you yesterday. I'm surprised you came to see me.
Why did you call me yesterday?
I summoned Assemblyman Hwang and Chief Kwon...
to come in for an investigation.
- I needed to check something... - No, not that.
Is there anything else you need to say?
If you have a question, just ask. Don't beat around the bush.
Yoon Dong Pil.
Why did he offer to give me the original copy?
I'm sure he could've made a deal with many other people.
Because you're the chairman's son-in-law.
He wanted you to report the news...
so it would strike a bigger blow at Chairman Seo.
Why are you asking me something that you already know the answer to?
Do you think that was all?
What else could there be?
Me, Yoon Dong Pil, and you.
Do you know what we have in common?
We're connected to one person. Chairman Seo.
Unfortunately, we were all invited by the same person.
It was planned from the start. You're part of the plan.
You knew everything.
Who was it? Who brought you here?
Yoon Dong Pil?
Chairman Seo? Answer me.
- Answer my question. - You answer this first.
What did you see...
that day?
What did you see in that hut?
Three people have died since then.
But you still haven't changed.
You still try to hide things just like you did back then.
I took care of it back then, and I will take care of it again.
Back then...
Soo Hyun.
What are you hiding?
Why are you being like this?
I don't know.
I'm getting more and more lost.
What is it that's tormenting you?
You were like this in the past. In the end, you never told me.
Why won't you say it?
Soo Hyun.

The day I chose silence,
where my deep, dark past began.
The cell with no padlock.
This is about the missing teenager from Yeongsan.
The police found no witnesses,
and the investigation has been stalling for months.
There are concerns that it'll become yet another cold case.
The moment I decided to flee,
that is how my long-time crime began.
However far I run, I'm still there.
From that cell with no padlock,
I can never escape.
(The Road: The Tragedy of One)
Soo Hyun brought us together.
If you just leave, I don't know what I'll do.
Did something happen to Soo Hyun?
What's going on?
Do you know anything?
An old guest returned from the grave?
Yoon Dong Pil.
- Still nothing? - Are you asking...
out of concern or out of fear you'll lose your opportunity?
Please find Soo Hyun.
He's dead or in hiding.
It's one or the other.
Where is he?
Where everything is upside-down.
