(Staff ensured child actors' safety in the filming of this drama.)

I told you that my child was taken away from me.

That was you, Sun Hui.

Your parents killed their son.

And they tried to impute it to me.

They were scared that the truth would be revealed.

And so...

they adopted you...

as a hostage to seal my mouth.

Sun Hui!

Come on.

(Episode 9)

What backstory...

does your family have?

The one who stabbed Detective Lee...

was likely Choi Hyun Min.

"Choi Hyun Min?"

Who is he?

That jerk killed our son.

He served 12 years in jail for that.

But he's not sorry about it.

Rather than reflecting,

he blackmailed us.

If we didn't meet his demands,

he said he would kill Sun Hui.

Drive safely.

- Bye. - Have a good day.

After his release from prison, he came to see us.

Ms. Ha, it's been a while.

What about Jin Hyuk?

Has he been well?

That horrifying face of his that I never once forgot...

was right there in front of me.

I was petrified...

and froze on the spot.

It's been a while, Jin Hyuk.

I'm curious...

as to what you're planning.

Is she your hostage?

Is this payback?

Well, tough luck.

Those tricks don't work on me.

Sun Hui...

is my daughter.

Unbelievable.

I don't get you at all.

Are the privileged...

generous to a fault?

Fine.

Have a happy life, then.

There isn't a parent...

who'd block their child's happiness,

but how much...

will you pay me?

Wouldn't Sun Hui want to know...

about her biological father and about what he did...

to her adoptive parents?

Why did they adopt...

the daughter of their mortal enemy?

If it were me, I'd definitely want to know.

Did that hurt?

Sorry about that.

You asked for it by not saying anything!

Sun Hui...

will be left in the dark.

Together,

we'll make sure of it.

Got it?

And the night Gyeong Ho's house burned down...

Goodness.

This is quite the scene.

I was tailing Sun Hui...

but stumbled onto this.

It was me.

I did this. It was me.

Whether it was you or Sun Hui,

it's still wrong either way.

Getting mixed up in this...

will be a hassle.

I'll clean things up here.

However,

you will pay me extra for my services.

Don't worry and go home.

Go on before the homeowners return.

Do you want Sun Hui...

to be a murderer?

No.

No...

Then get lost!

I wasn't in my right mind at the time.

And like that,

I did as ordered.

Gosh. Thanks for the ride.

Honey, don't forget...

to pay our driver generously.

Goodness, you're plastered.

I drove us home, remember?

Snap out of it, will you?

Do you want Sun Hui to be a murderer?

Around 1am this morning, a fire broke out...

in a residential area in Ian-dong, Hanseo-gu, Seoul.

It is especially saddening...

that the whole family was found dead,

including the famous artist, Park Ki Yeon,

who was sleeping at home.

The police have requested the National Forensic Service...

to identify how the fire started...

and perform an autopsy on the deceased.

They're also investigating the possibility of arson...

by analyzing...

surveillance camera footage from residential areas.

We turn to Reporter Kim So Hyun at the site for more details.

Something horrendous happened,

but I tried my best to stay calm.

I needed Sun Hui to keep her composure.

Did you have nightmares?

Who is it?

I'm Soo Yeon, Sun Hui's friend.

Soo Yeon, it's you.

Sun Hui's home, right?

I'm afraid she's feeling under the weather today,

and we have a guest.

- Maybe next time... - I must see her!

It won't take long.

Please.

What?

Sun Hui...

stabbed him?

Jin Hyuk, come on. Don't lose your cool.

The last thing I want...

is for her to go to prison or be in and out...

of juvenile detention.

I set fire to that house to protect her...

and Ms. Ha.

That means, there's added service you must pay for.

- You punk! - Please lower your voice.

Sun Hui will hear you.

Hush. Quiet.

What about that friend who went to Sun Hui's room?

When I got to the house, Gyeong Ho was already...

Let's call the police.

No, the police can't be involved.

I may have set the fire,

but my dash cam footage...

shows Sun Hui fleeing Gyeong Ho's house covered in blood.

Ms. Ha going in and out...

of Gyeong Ho's house at night...

got caught on camera.

Whom will the police suspect?

Things got messy,

but they must be sorted out by all means.

While you're living happily after getting adopted,

my life became less than trash...

because of you.

Now is the time to pay me back.

- There's an accomplice in here. - Sun Hui.

The accomplice is...

threatening Sun Hui right now.

Your dad is a successful lawyer.

Wouldn't he do anything to protect you?

He'll definitely sort it out...

as long as you turn yourself in.

I can't do it.

- This will be difficult. - What?

- I... - You're the culprit.

Not only did you kill Gyeong Ho,

but you also killed his parents!

Get ready to go to the police station now.

Mr. Choi.

Are you already done talking?

- Pardon? - Are you about to leave?

Sun Hui and I have somewhere to go.

Where would Sun Hui go? She's sick.

Where are you going?

Shall I give you a ride?

No, it's okay.

Goodbye.

Is this your car key?

Let me use it.

I didn't bring my car today.

It'll become a pain in the neck unless we handle it quickly.

What?

Honey.

Why did you start the fire?

Who's the one that put me in this misery?

After accusing me of being a murderer,

you want Sun Hui to become a murderer too?

Do you want people to curse at Sun Hui...

for being a murderer like her father?

Don't be ridiculous. Sun Hui is my daughter!

Hey, think about it.

What should a parent do in a situation like this?

Try to protect her this time.

Instead of watching your child die in front of you...

like last time.

I couldn't resist it.

My sense of justice was questioned.

I didn't know what to do...

as my judgment became unclear.

What could I do for my daughter?

I had no idea.

I don't deserve to be a father.

(Peanut powder)

What's the matter with him?

How could he threaten Sun Hui?

I think he's trying to warn us.

Still, he can't do this to Sun Hui.

Honey, I feel very worried.

Lower your voice. Sun Hui shouldn't hear us.

I gave him the money,

so let's wait.

We should hurry and send Sun Hui abroad.

That man is threatening us again.

What don't you and Sun Hui go to Canada first?

What if he follows us there?

He will harass us until the end.

Sun Hui will be in danger.

We must protect her.

Didn't you say...

that he has the same allergy as Sun Hui?

I have the ingredient in the kitchen.

Will you really do it?

Yes. We have no choice.

We must not act rashly.

What if...

he tells everything to Sun Hui?

We can't let him interact with Sun Hui anymore.

It's only a matter of time.

Either way, we must be careful.

We must kill him now!

Please calm down.

Sun Hui?

I even thought...

of killing him knowing...

what allergy he had.

We can...

no longer bear it.

I understand.

Where is Sun Hui?

Special forces have been deployed.

Sun Hui will be safe.

Got it.

Choi Hyun Min is calling me.

Please buy us time.

(Choi Hyun Min)

What are you going to do?

I'm driving.

I'm on my way. Wait a little longer.

Are you trying to buy time?

You aren't trying to pull a trick, are you?

How's Sun Hui?

- Sun Hui. - Sun Hui.

What's the situation?

We confirmed the hostage and Choi Hyun Min's identity.

How's Sun Hui?

Is she all right?

Yes, she's all right.

That punk is his accomplice.

He won't tell us how many more of them there are.

We identified the suspect and the hostage,

but aiming isn't easy due to obstacles.

Wait here.

I'll go.

- There's no time. At this rate... - Mr. Choi.

The situation is very dangerous.

I don't want more people to get hurt.

I'm Sun Hui's dad.

Please let me go. I must save her.

Detective.

Do you have a child?

Yes, I do.

So you understand.

I'm willing to die to protect Sun Hui.

Okay.

Darn it.

In the end,

it became miserable for us.

To rich people like them, you're only a toy...

to play with for a while.

They use you as much as they want,

and you get abandoned in the end.

No.

My parents would never do that.

How can you still say that?

I don't blame you. You probably want to believe it.

They're your parents, after all.

Choi Hyun Min!

Dad.

This is unbelievable timing.

Your dad must be here for you.

Gosh, I didn't think you'd come.

You brought the money as promised, yes?

I brought the money.

Let Sun Hui go as promised.

Let Sun Hui go.

Do you really want to take her with you?

How shameless!

My gosh.

What do you want me to do?

What do you think you are doing?

You know what?

I don't think I want the money.

I realized that I wanted to take revenge on rich people like you.

You know that...

Choi Hyun Min?

When I see rich people like you acting righteous,

poor people like me start to have a twisted mind.

We are both born as humans.

We use the same names. But you and I are different...

no matter what we do!

Sun Hui!

We have a situation. The hostage is approaching the suspect.

What on earth happened?

Stay away from me!

What a stupid daughter...

Sun Hui, you...

A puppy.

A puppy? A barbershop.

A calf.

- An earthworm. - An earthworm.

Giddy-up!

Giddy-up!

There. I got it!

I...

surely...

loved this child.

It's cold now. Have it, Sun Hui.

- Is it good? - Yes, it's good.

Here.

Okay. That's enough.

That's so refreshing.

Hey, Sun Hui!

I was so happy with you.

But why...

Come here, you naughty girl.

Why did things turn out like this?

- Hey, I got you! - No.

How did things...

go so wrong...

for me?

Dad... Dad!

Are you okay?

Sun Hui!

- Sun Hui. - Mom...

- Dad... - It's all right.

Dad...

It's all right, Sun Hui.

(Munsan Grocery Store)

What are you looking at?

Let's go now.

Who is it?

Mom, it's me.

What brought you here?

How heartless. Your son is here after a long time.

She's Sun Hui, my daughter.

Please take care of her.

I have to go somewhere.

And I need some money.

Take care of her? What do you mean by that?

Where is her mother?

She's dead.

The doctor killed her.

How can that happen when she is so young?

Shut it! Give me money!

Don't look at me like how you look at Dad.

Goodness!

Dad.

Dad!

Sun Hui, don't worry.

I'll be back soon.

Daddy will come back to get you after earning a lot of money.

Dad...

- There you go! - I'm winning.

- Run! - There you go.

- Go faster. - No, not that way.

Yes, there you go!

There you go!

Hurry up!

Keep going!

Hurry up!

That's great. Hurry now!

All right, there you go! Hurry now.

- Oh, no! - What happened?

- What is this? - What's going on?

That was so close!

That stupid horse...

My goodness, I almost had it.

My gosh...

Which number was it?

(Tickets for the 4th round are open.)

(Hurricane)

(Ticket booth)

My gosh, I don't know.

That was so close.

I almost had it there.

If only it got in one step ahead, I would have won.

Speaking of which, honey...

Could you lend me some money?

What? She hung up on me?

What a rude wench!

I'm going to kill her...

Watch where you are going.

I guess I'm not so unlucky today.

Gosh, stay still!

Stay still!

Goodness...

I'm going to kill you.

Die!

Sun Hui.

Let's eat.

(Ministry of Justice)

Take him.

(Detective Division 3, Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min)

Choi Hyun Min.

Fraud, threats, assault.

They're not the same kind. But you've got a record here.

Prosecutor, this is so unfair.

I didn't mug anyone.

I see.

We don't have any footage or witnesses.

But you used the victim's stolen credit card.

Prosecutor, that's not true.

I just picked up a wallet that had credit cards.

It's true.

I know I should have returned it.

I'm sorry.

But I had no idea that the owner of the wallet...

got mugged.

(Award Certificate)

Prosecutor, it's not me.

I have an old mother and a young daughter...

to support.

I understand your situation. You don't have to be scared.

I need solid evidence or confession.

Of course, you used someone else's credit card.

It's clearly a crime.

I'll pay back the amount of the credit card I used.

Just this once, please.

(Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min)

Your name is...

(Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min)

That's right.

We have the same name.

You're right.

Hyun Min!

How about hangover soup for today's lunch?

- You drank last night, didn't you? - Yes, a bit.

I'll treat you to some sandwiches.

- Hyun Min... - Sandwiches are best for hangovers.

You're joking, right?

Sandwiches, for real?

Sandwiches work wonders for hangovers.

It's full of nutrition, you know?

Prosecutor Choi!

Thank you, Prosecutor Choi.

Don't thank me.

There wasn't enough evidence. Some might misunderstand.

You'll be investigated without detention and trialed.

Understood.

Don't come visit your prosecutor in charge again.

Okay, I won't.

Hyun Min. Isn't he like Jean Valjean who assaulted others?

"Jean Valjean?"

He got caught buying bread with a stolen card,

like Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables."

What are you saying?

He was acquitted of assault due to lack of evidence.

What?

Thank you.

Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min.

- Order more after this. - Okay.

Hyun Min.

- Let's toast. - Come on.

- Here, everyone. - Let's toast.

- Great work. - Great work.

Hyun Min. Is this all right?

It is.

Get this done right,

and we'll get a wealthy financier.

But the man's a prosecutor.

- Pour him another glass. - Okay.

- Some might think you're the boss. - Darn it.

Stop talking back.

Just keep watch, will you?

Cheers. Good work.

- Good work. - Good work.

He's drinking quite a lot.

- Just die. - Are you going to bury me?

An opportunity like this is rare.

- Gosh. - You like being dramatic.

I'll kill you one day for sure.

- The food was great. - Thank you.

- Goodness. - Come again.

- Thank you for treating us. - Thank you.

Thanks.

- Where are you going? - Go home. I called a chauffeur.

Aren't you going for round two?

Be careful.

- I will. - Is the chauffeur coming?

- They are. - Get home safely.

Gosh.

Let's go.

Did I drink too much?

Is this... Yes.

Sir. You called for a chauffeur, right?

Yes, I did. That was fast.

(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min)

"Prosecutor Choi Hyun Min."

How nice.

(Epilogue)

I'm home.

Princess.

Princess?

Let's eat, Princess. Daddy's home.

Princess.

Princess.

Let's eat.

Dig in, okay?

Are you doing well, Dad?

Hey, Dong Hyun. Dad's doing well.

Did you video call me all by yourself?

Yes. I can play online games by myself.

Gosh, you're so smart.

Do you eat your vegetables now, Dong Hyun?

No?

I can eat jjajangmyeon.

Jjajangmyeon is good.

It is, isn't it? Jjajangmyeon is delicious.

What about Princess? Where is she?

She's playing.

I'm jealous you get to keep a cat, Dad.

Mom doesn't want one...

because it'll die faster than us.

Right. Mom is worried you'll feel lonely...

if what you lived with is gone one day.

Then why is she okay when you're not with us?

I don't know. I wonder too.

Maybe...

you might understand once you become an adult.

Adults are self-centered.

You're right.

Actually,

I felt lonely when you were gone.

Me too.

But you're strong, aren't you?

Help Mom a lot, okay?

I will do as much as I can.

Great. Help as much as you can.

Dong Hyun!

- What are you doing? - Mom's here.

What's with you?

I told you, didn't I?

Not to contact Dong Hyun as you please.

- I'm sorry. - Can you stop this?

Dong Hyun...

has finally adjusted to the new life.

Don't get in touch first.

Got it. I'm sorry.

- But... - You...

even forget about yourself when immersed in something.

Stop dragging people into your matters.

Live the life you want now.

We...

will live happily in our own way.

I'm sorry.

- But Min Ha... - Bye.

I...

want...

us to live together again.

(Perfect Family)

I heard peanuts can lead to death.

Help! Over here!

You can definitely start anew.

Keep that in mind.

I'll take care of you like my older brother.

The past doesn't matter.

I'm only helping someone who's pulling himself together.

Many approach prosecutors with something in mind.

Stop!

I can get you money.

I can, so please.

He might not be the man we thought he was.

My suspicions won't die down.

Help me.
