You think life is that easy?
If you toss people away as you please,
do you think you won't face any consequences?
Kang Ja-kyeong, who came into Hyowon
plotting revenge after her child was taken away by Han Ji-yong.
Seo Hi-soo, who was enraged that her six years of marriage
to Han Ji-yong were a lie.
He fell after the cardiac arrest.
That's what the doctor said.
We must find that missing person.
That person will know everything.
Who could it be?
Please find them.
I'm dying to know as well.
Does anyone
deserve to die?
One thing is certain.
This person deserved to die…
in someone's eyes.
This way.
Ms. Yang, this is the detective.
This is the chairman's study. Please come in.
I think I'm done here.
Okay. Shall we go out now?
Get out.
Get out of my house. Get out right now!
I need your cooperation to find out why he died.
The doctor said he died of a heart attack.
Why are you causing this ruckus after only listening to that nun?
Has the possibility that she might be lying not crossed your mind?
She had secretly been in contact with Ji-yong for a long time.
That nun and Ji-yong's birth mother used to be close friends.
And she hid that from us!
How could you believe that lying wench and barge in to search my house like this?
Get out of here! Now!
-Get out of my house now! -I'll show you out.
I'm Detective Hwang.
Yes. I got the call.
You could have waited at the station.
I wanted to see the inside of the house, too.
It's been a week since the accident. There's no point.
Gosh. That's not why I wanted to go in.
I wanted to see that fancy house.
It wasn't that great.
Maybe it's because it's big. It was drafty.
Anyway, I hope we can work well together.
Let's go to your station.
I need to take a look at Kwak Su-chang's case file first.
The police have begun investigating
the death of Mr. Han Ji-yong of Hyowon a week after his death.
On the 3rd, the day before the shareholders' meeting
to approve his new position as the chairman,
the late Mr. Han died of a cardiac arrest in his home at the age of 39.
His funeral was held privately as his family wished.
However, as a witness testified about what happened that day,
the police have started an investigation.
SEOUL GWANGUN POLICE STATION
I mean…
Why did the witness think that it was a murder case?
She said there was a weapon covered in blood on the floor,
and it was gone along with the person lying next to Han Ji-yong
when she came back.
-A weapon? -This will be a tough case to crack.
The crime scene is gone.
And we can't search the company, either.
That's not high enough to die from.
But if he was pushed and had a concussion, it'd be enough to kill him.
To push him off with an intent to kill,
the culprit should be strong enough to make him
unable to defend himself.
Then it probably wasn't a woman.
The only guy at the house at that time was Kim Seong-tae.
Park Jung-do, Han Jin-hee's husband,
had a car accident that night, so he wasn't there.
And Han Jin-ho visited him at the hospital.
That's the weirdest part, isn't it?
It was his son's engagement party, but he went to visit his brother-in-law?
He left in the middle of the engagement party.
He isn't on good terms with his son, while he and his brother-in-law are close.
That's what the nun told me.
We just have to find one person.
The other person who fell to the floor
besides Han Ji-yong.
Two people fell from the same height,
but one of them died and the other came out unscathed?
The one who survived must have visited the hospital.
Ms. Seo, Dr. Kim is here.
Your checkup is today.
Thank you, Kyeong-hye.
She remembers my name?
EPISODE 14 FIGHTING IN THE DARK
4 DAYS BEFORE THE MURDER
UNLOCKED
LOCKED
You'll easily get 20 billion won.
I want you
to kill Ji-yong.
Our shift isn't over. What are you doing here?
Well…
I don't feel so good.
What about Mr. Han? Did you escort him to the bunker?
Yes. Gosh, My stomach.
Okay.
UNLOCKED
Ji-yong.
Yes, Father.
Starting today,
I want to be your real father.
I want to swear it in front of your mother.
I've always considered you my real son,
and I want to do my duty as your father now.
Please let go of everything.
If you've done something wrong,
apologize and ask for forgiveness. Turn over a new leaf.
You still have a lot of time left.
You're young enough to start a new life!
While everyone still wants to help you, you must turn back.
I'm asking this as your father!
Let go of everything.
Wash it all out.
I cannot do that.
Have you been well?
Where are we?
Can you do me a favor?
Can you get
a prescription in my stead?
Ask for a strong dose.
It doesn't matter if the dose is lethal.
I'll get going.
Han Ji-yong's hobby
was watching two men fight in the ring.
And the men had to beat each other up for money.
Then this man came dangerously close to death.
The person who beat him up like this
is his older brother.
But his older brother
was murdered a few days ago
because he was going to expose
Han Ji-yong's secret to the press.
Ji-yong has been looking for this man with his eyes peeled.
Mother Emma.
Decide.
Help him cover up his crime by telling him this man is here.
Or…
persuade him
to admit his crimes and turn himself in.
I'll leave that…
up to you.
Ms. Seo Hi-soo and I…
wanted to give Han Ji-yong a chance.
He was falling down to the bitter end,
and we had to put a stop to it.
Why?
Because he was…
Ha-joon's father.
Ha-joon.
Don't feel small just because you can't speak English when you're in the States.
No one is good at first.
But you're my son,
so you must become the best.
After…
I take care of urgent matters,
I will visit you very often.
Dad.
Yes?
Take care of yourself even if I'm not here.
Okay.
Dad.
I love you.
That was the last I saw of him.
Ji-yong…
believed Ha-joon belonged to him and him alone.
That was probably the only way he could love Ha-joon.
Mother Emma is here.
I'm here to see Ji-yong.
"Ji-yong"?
I see.
Please escort her to Rubato.
If we repent of our sins,
Jesus will forgive us, right?
Evil is never punished in this world.
I've realized that.
Retributive justice is
served randomly.
Even sins have an end, my brother.
Jesus, who had not committed any sins, was crucified
to save that cruel murderer, Barabbas.
That's how Jesus thinks.
He already died in place of all the sinners. He died for us.
So I'm sure
he'll forgive me even if I commit sins.
Yes, he will.
But he'll also punish you.
If you knowingly commit sins,
you won't be forgiven.
Even if the sinner is an angel,
God doesn't hesitate to throw them into Hell.
And they will stay in the gloomy pits of darkness
until the Day of Reckoning.
That's not fair.
Jesus can't do that!
I'm sorry.
On that day,
Mother Emma must have tried everything to change Han Ji-yong's mind.
Because she would have understood what Hi-soo was going through.
Ji-yong.
You should have never committed such sins.
Why did you do it?
I've achieved everything.
I have taken back everything
God took away from me on my own.
I was utterly hurt and lonely
because I was powerless.
But I have power now.
There's nothing I can't do in this world now.
So Mother Emma,
do not pray for me anymore.
Instead,
stop Hi-soo for me.
Make her stop. She's trying to bring me down.
Unless you're going to help me, get out.
Now.
Ji-yong.
The Lord
loves you.
He loves you so much.
You cannot forget that.
Then tell that God of yours
to give up on me.
Oh, Lord.
Lord.
The shareholders' meeting must be called quietly.
Make it look like it's one of those regular shareholders' meetings,
so the board won't suspect anything.
Everyone's turned their back on Ji-yong,
but there are always fools in any crowd.
All of us must get through the last five days.
Yes, ma'am.
Thank you…
for everything.
Take good care
of Ha-joon.
What will you do…
with Ji-yong?
God will…
help us all.
3 DAYS BEFORE THE MURDER
Hello?
-This is Gwangun Station. -Inspector Hwang.
Cho Beom-gu has been arrested.
The suspect for killing Kwak Su-chang.
Really?
Han Ji-yong, you're screwed now.
I bet Ji-yong instigated it. He's the real culprit.
You must come down to the station.
You must arrest Ji-yong and interrogate him now!
We don't know what he might do next.
Aren't you glad to see them again?
Right here. Your boss.
Kill him.
Know that if you get caught and give them my name,
your sentence won't be reduced.
Just tell them you had a grudge.
Won't that be better for you?
You'll be making money in jail.
A sum of money you'll never make out here no matter how hard you work.
Cho Beom-gu.
We have confirmed that you roamed
around Kwak Su-chang's house for four hours on the day of his murder.
Cho Beom-gu didn't leave any DNA evidence at the scene
when he murdered Kwak Su-chang.
But for some reason,
he confessed to the murder when all the evidence was circumstantial.
He never said that Han Ji-yong paid him to kill Kwak.
He only said it was a personal grudge.
I'm sure Cho got paid a boatload of money.
It was a burner phone.
The phone belonged to a 63-year-old homeless dude in Euljiro Station.
Then we just have to find the burner phone, right?
Well, yes.
But we couldn't find the burner phone.
I'm sure Han Ji-yong had already gotten rid of it.
But we had a definite piece of evidence.
Cho Gyeong-cheol.
The record of the transaction between Ji-yong and the fight broker
was the smoking gun.
Once that came to light,
Cho Beom-gu had no choice but to confess.
Hello?
What did you say?
You're postponing my appointment?
Mr. Park.
You can't do this to me.
You can't treat me and what I've achieved like this
just because of that crazy woman's video.
You must think about our company's future.
Hello?
Hello…
He had his back to the wall.
And I think someone had something big on him.
He started to get extremely anxious
a few days before his death.
1 DAY BEFORE THE MURDER
-Seong-tae. -Put it there.
-Are you okay? -Okay.
You should be careful.
Be careful over here.
-Oh, my. -Gosh. This is beautiful.
Right?
-Ta-da. -So beautiful.
-Go over there. -Congratulations.
-Be careful getting up. -Hurry.
Okay.
Seong-tae.
What's up with you today?
I…
DAY OF THE MURDER
10 DAYS AFTER THE MURDER
Shouldn't we send Ha-joon and his mom
back to the States?
You're Ha-joon's mother.
It's important to keep Ha-joon emotionally stable.
His father is gone,
and his mother doesn't even recognize him.
Do you think he should be away from home at a time like this?
He must accept his situation now.
I don't think time will solve this problem.
Besides, Ms. Lee Hye-jin, Ha-joon's birth mother…
She's his real mother.
His father is gone.
And I'm not related to Ha-joon by blood
He's Ji-yong's son.
We'll raise him.
You're practically strangers to him.
Only Ji-yong and that tutor are biologically related to Ha-joon.
Now that Ji-yong is dead,
That child doesn't have to stay here.
I'll also be leaving soon.
Goodness.
That child?
In the past, you would have jumped into a fire for Ha-joon.
How can you be like this?
You should
raise Ha-joon here.
And have that tutor leave.
Ha-joon is a stranger to me.
I can't raise him.
You should focus on bringing your memories back first.
Let's talk again once you remember everything.
Ha-joon was everything to you.
He's a cute boy.
Wherever he goes, he'll be loved.
His birth mother should raise him.
Let her do that for his sake.
Your memories will come back.
Do as I say.
Actually, that scares me.
I hope they don't come back.
I don't want to know what I saw that day.
I wonder how shocking it was
that my brain became completely blank?
I must really not want to remember it.
Like the detective said,
someone could have murdered Ji-yong.
Ha-joon, let's have some of this.
Especially at times like this, you must stay strong and healthy.
I'm sure your mom would want that. Right?
There's something I must tell my mom.
I made a promise to her.
Have you ever cried alone?
I don't want to tell you.
Are you thinking about something that might break my heart?
Yes.
I don't want there to be any secrets between us.
Okay. No secrets.
Pinky promise.
But I won't tell you now.
Okay, but you have to tell me some other time.
After you showed up,
I was scared that she'd leave,
so I cried.
Losing my mom is…
what I'm afraid of the most
in the whole world.
But there's something I'm more afraid of now.
Not being remembered by my mom.
Ha-joon.
Your mom…
She'll come back to her old self.
Dad is gone now.
So if my mom can't remember me,
what should I do?
No.
You have your mom
as well as me.
You'll be okay, Ha-joon. Everything will be okay.
I promise. Everything will be okay.
Hey.
So the police started an investigation.
-Yes. -Jin-ho.
There's another family secret I don't know about, right?
If there is, tell me.
Is Jin-hee really the chairman's biological daughter?
You bastard.
What kind of curse is this?
How could this happen to me?
I need physical therapy for a year.
And I might not
be able to walk ever again.
You'll be able to walk again. Don't worry.
So why did you have to fight with her that day of all days
and miss the party?
Who hit you with a car?
Hey, what the hell happened?
Hello?
I'm still hurt.
I'm okay. I'll call you back.
Who is it?
I feel bad for Ji-yong.
Besides his death,
no one in the family was on his side.
I didn't either.
Everyone in our family is lonely.
I feel bad for all of them.
Everyone in our family was lonely.
May I come in, Mother Emma?
Oh, my.
You managed to pick the chair you always sat on.
I guess it's muscle memory.
I guess you were very special to me.
You were very special to me, too.
It took almost a day to read all of the text messages
between you and me.
I'm sure.
We talked a lot via text messages.
This is the last message I sent
to you.
"Mother Emma,
you've secretly been meeting with Ji-yong, right?
Tell me the whole truth."
You didn't write back
after reading this message.
I want to hear your answer to my question.
Whenever I thought about Ji-yong,
my heart ached.
I've known him ever since he was in his mom's belly.
After he was born, I watched him
growing up from a distance.
I thought he was living a good life.
If I only knew
that Ji-yong had no one to turn to in that family…
It's already been 20 years since your mother passed away.
She must be happy to have a son who always loves her
so dearly.
Do you think I come back every year because I love her?
What?
I come because I don't want to forget what she did to me.
-Do you see it? -Goodness.
When I was nine,
my mother got angry, broke some glass, and threw it at me.
My goodness.
My mom believed I was the source of all her misfortune.
She hated me because I took after my biological dad.
It wasn't my fault, though.
But do you know what's even shittier?
My mother who abused me was my only biological family,
so there was no one in the family I could talk to about this.
Ji-yong.
I should have come to meet you sooner.
If I had even one person who believed in me
and loved me,
I would've been different.
It's not too late.
I will listen to all of your stories in place of your mother.
It's too late.
What do you mean?
I do a lot of bad things in secret.
Everyone does bad things.
It's worse than you think.
I even killed someone.
You're joking, right?
Of course.
But I might kill soon.
Ji-yong.
You think you're the only person abused and never loved by their mother?
That doesn't mean they turn out bad.
There are way more people
who overcome their hardships and lead good lives.
Don't justify your sins.
You won't be forgiven.
Who has the right to forgive me?
No one does.
No one in the world has the right to do that.
Don't tell me God does.
Because I don't believe in God.
After that day,
I was always by his side.
I was worried that he might go down the wrong path.
That's how I got to know you.
Do you…
-pity Han Ji-yong? -Of course.
My heart breaks for his soul.
My heart is in great pain.
It was my fault for not being able to stop him.
I will have to repent of my failure until the day I die.
You said
you saw me at the staircase that day.
Was it really me?
Yes.
It was you.
But why didn't you report it to the police right away?
To tell you the truth, I suspected you at first.
Based on what I saw.
So I prayed to the Lord.
I asked for his guidance.
Then…
I found out that you'd lost your memories.
That's when I remembered
that there was one more person.
I thought you may also have been a victim.
Do you…
trust me?
Don't be heartbroken.
It's not your fault.
It was Ji-yong's fate.
That's not what's bothering me.
The police came to the house.
-That makes me uneasy. -Mom.
You know something, don't you? You didn't tell me everything, right?
No way.
-There is something. -Someone…
murdered Ji-yong.
I wonder who fell from the staircase with Ji-yong.
That's what the nun said, but it might not be true.
Everyone seems suspicious.
You didn't do it, right?
What are you talking about?
It wasn't…
you, right?
You startled me.
Out with it.
-I'm sure you know. -Know what?
Where Seong-tae went.
I don't.
Gosh, that asshole. He took off without me.
Did you love him?
I don't know.
After committing grand larceny like that,
living here probably won't be easy for you.
I'm so proud of you. I guess you gave up on the diamond.
I didn't want to steal it in the first place.
He wanted to steal it and leave here.
That's not what he told me.
Ms. Joo. Did Seong-tae…
Did Seong-tae kill Mr. Han Ji-yong?
He did, didn't he?
I mean, it's odd.
Why did he quit his job and leave Korea
the day after Mr. Han's death, of all days?
Without telling me anything.
Actually, that's what I wanted to ask you.
But you're asking me.
-You don't know why? -No.
I know nothing. He betrayed me.
I can't trust anyone from this place anymore.
-Kyeong-hye. -What?
Stop taking sleeping pills. It'll ruin your health.
I'm not the one taking them.
Were you waiting for me?
Yes.
You must get your memories back.
You and I…
have a lot to discuss.

You and I had ramyeon here.
Don't you remember?

NIGHT OF MEMORY
NIGHT OF MEMORY SEO HI-SOO
"Surprisingly, Seo Hi-soo debuted in the independent film, Night of Memory.
However, due to a sex scandal of the male lead, Jin Si-han,
the movie was never released.
Nonetheless, the actress delivered
an incredible performance playing a woman suffering from amnesia.
It was hard to believe she was a rookie actress."
Hi. Look up Seo Hi-soo's medical record
and see if she really lost her memories.
It might…
be all an act.
The presidents of the subsidiaries have full confidence in you.
Capital isn't the only thing that gets a company going.
We must respect and supervise the leaders of our company.
We all need to work together.
I'll never allow any discord within the company.
I believe in you.
Soo-hyuk is coming back today, right?
Yes, Father.
Have him come to the company.
I will.
Also
about
my bunker…
I want all of her stuff
to be burned
and put next to Ji-yong's grave.
Okay.
Hey.
Hi-soo.
I'm going to an art auction today. Come with me. It'll be fun.
But I'm meeting my friends today.
You are?
I'm having brunch with some friends I made when I was an actress.
That's good. You must meet some people. Don't avoid them.
Okay.
Yes. Jung Seo-hyun speaking.
This is Baek Dong-hun.
Hello.
I would like to meet with you today.
I'm available for the next hour. Please come to the house.
These people are tenacious.
He's way too muscular. Do you think you can do this job?
I will work
this macular body to the bone.
We won't ask you to do physically demanding tasks.
Okay.
So you were born on September 3, 1985 on the witching hour…
We need someone who's tight-lipped,
not muscular.
Well, you don't have to worry about that.
Okay. You can go.
We'll contact you later.
Why did you have to let him into the house?
You could've interviewed him outside and brought him in
once you decide to hire him.
Because I was leaning toward hiring him.
After all, Mr. Ha recommended him.
-What do you think? -I see a lot of wood and earth in him.
But he lacks water.
Well, I'm sure he's tight-lipped and will do his job well.
You should hire him.
You said he lacks water.
Is he going to be okay if he drinks a lot of water?
I'll divorce you.
-What? -It was your wish.
Jin-hee, this isn't right.
You can't abandon me when I'm injured.
Look at the situation you're in. Timing is a funny thing.
No one will believe me, but I was going to divorce you.
No. I can't.
Stay by my side until I can walk again.
You're ridiculous.
Before the accident, you were so eager to leave me.
Now, you'll stay with me?
Look who's talking. You're showing your true colors!
What are you talking about?
You're the one who wanted to divorce me!
Hey, keep it down. You can't fight in here.
Let's get a divorce.
No, I won't. Never.
You'll have to stay with me even if I turn into a zombie.
My gosh. Come on!
Do you remember
you had a big fight with your stylist on a film set?
When are you talking about?
It was a really hot day in August of 2004.
Your stylist threw a fit because you got itch relief gel on the sponsored clothes.
Your memory is amazing.
You still remember that?
She was known for her excellent memory. She memorized lines faster than anyone.
Right. I still remember all of my lines.
Do you think Ms. Seo really lost her memories?
And the person lying unconscious next to Mr. Han,
who was gone when Mother Emma came back, who do you think it was?
Why are you asking me that?
That person must've gotten hurt badly.
I'm sorry to ask,
but could you show me your arm?
Mr. Baek, it's Seo Hi-soo.
She hurt her ribs badly, had a pelvic fracture,
and hurt her head badly, so she had an MRI scan.
She came to the ER on the day of the incident,
then received orthopedic treatment for the next two days.
The person passed out on the floor next to Han Ji-yong was Seo Hi-soo.
I hurt my finger
when I was moving a sculpture at my art museum.
The metal piece was heavy.
The person passed out next to Han Ji-yong
was Ms. Seo.
Did you know?
You don't seem surprised.
Since she fell from the staircase,
it's very likely that Ms. Seo really lost her memories.
I guess so.
Then who do you think was at the top of the stairs?
I would like to check your house.
Very well.
Let me escort you.
I found Han Ji-yong dead.
And there was someone else at the top of the stairs.
It was Ms. Seo Hi-soo.
Did it ever cross your mind that she might be lying?
On the day of the incident, who took Ms. Seo to the hospital?
The dashcam in Ms. Seo's car was turned off that night.
And she was alone in all of the security footage at the hospital.
Alone when she was hurt that badly.
I don't know.
It's odd enough that she went to a regular ER when the family has a doctor,
but Ms. Seo's car entered the parking lot of the hospital around that time,
not an ambulance.
It means someone drove her car to take her to the ER.
She couldn't have driven in that state.
-Who could it be? -Are you suggesting
that I drove Ms. Seo's car to the hospital?
We obtained the dashcam footage from other cars
to find out who came to the ER with her.
Stop.
How long will it take to identify the face?
I need to reduce noise and analyze the footage.
By tomorrow?
On the day of the incident,
I was in Boston with Ha-joon.
Don't lie.
I already checked your travel history. Stop lying.
You didn't even go to the States.
That's ridiculous.
Check again.
Come to my house if you need further questioning. I'm a bit busy.
Yes. I'm almost done.
I would like to see Mr. Han Ji-yong's study.
Okay. This way.
He had his back to the wall.
And I think someone had something big on him.
He started to get extremely anxious.
Kim Seong-tae.
Darn it.
I can't reach Kim Seong-tae on his phone.
Maybe he didn't get the roaming service.
Monaco isn't a member of Interpol,
and he's not a suspect.
So we can't track him down.
We really need his statement. He's the one holding the key.
Right. Ms. Lee Hye-jin claims
she was in the States that day. Did you check her travel records?
Lee Hye-jin?
I have a few things to ask Ha-joon.
I'll be careful not to say anything to hurt his feelings. Just a few questions.
Okay.
And I need his mother to be present.
Please come with me.
His English lesson will be over soon. Let's go to him.
Okay.
Mom!
I'll go and bring him here. You can stay here.
Stay there! I'll cross the street!
Ha-joon!
Are you okay, Ha-joon?
I told you dozens of times not to cross when you see a car.
Mom.
Han Ha-joon.
I told you that you're the only person who can protect yourself.
You're the only person who can protect yourself.
So you have to be strong.
Whatever happens, I'll be right behind you.
So don't be afraid of anything.
The face has come up
RESTORED FOOTAGE
Yes.
Yes. What is it? Did you check Lee Hye-jin's travel history?
Really?
Okay.
Ms. Lee was indeed in the States on the day of the incident.
The thing is,
the case file says the tutor's name is Kang Ja-kyeong.
So things got mixed up.
And we got a photo of the person who drove Ms. Seo to the ER.
I'll send it to you now.
Why are you rushing the engagement ceremony?
It also celebrates a new beginning for Hyowon.
And it just happened to be on the day of Han Ji-yong's death.
I found something strange inside the room.
Why would all this be in Seong-tae's room?
I heard you helped him leave the country.
Why exactly did you have to send him abroad just then?
He was already on the verge of collapse. Why would anybody bother to kill him?
The facts speak for themselves, Detective.
