CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

ALL CHILD ACTORS FILMED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT

Tell me.

Did you kill Eom-ji?

Did you kill her?

Who the heck are you? Let go of me.

Oh, you! You were Eom-ji's boyfriend, weren't you?

Just tell me if you killed her or not.

It wasn't me.

I didn't kill her.

I did wish

that someone would kill her off though.

My creditors said

they'd sell her organs if they had to to get their money back,

and to not be too shocked if she ended up dead one day.

But there had to be something in it for me too.

So I took out a high insurance on her

but she went and killed herself.

Why aren't you home? When are you coming back?

I don't have any more money to give you.

You bitch.

You better come home right now if you don't want to die.

Who says I don't want to die?

If I die, don't bother holding a funeral for me.

I don't want you taking a single cent of the condolence money.

Why didn't you tell the cops about that?

Are you kidding me?

There's no insurance payout for suicide.

You were her dad. How could you…

Still, I didn't kill her.

You did, you punk.

He didn't do it.

Who are you?

Oh, the next girl you're gonna kill?

That's enough, you sleazeball.

Stop talking bullshit.

She said he didn't do it.

Who's the real killer?

Tell me.

How should I know?

You want me to punch all your teeth out?

Tell me!

What… Him…

That boy used to chase after Eom-ji.

He was practically a stalker.

Stop him!

Dammit.

Hey!

Hey, you bastard!

Hunter, get in the car quick.

Thanks.

Tell me.

Did you kill Eom-ji?

Hey!

Why are you chasing me around?

And when did you get so close to those mobsters?

Did you kill her?

Damn.

Fine.

I killed her.

You actually believed that?

I'm kidding.

Cho Jae-chan.

You don't have to do this.

Eom-ji

went out with me too.

You think all she did was wait around for you?

She didn't.

She and I really hit it off.

He's lying.

Tell me the truth.

Did you kill Eom-ji?

Don't come any closer.

Take another step, and I'll stab her.

It's okay. He's lying.

Go get him.

Come on, I'll be fine.

We won't try to catch you.

So just let her go and leave.

Hey. Hand over your car keys.

Throw them to me!

Don't move.

Go after him.

Why did you do that?

If I'd arrived a little sooner,

I could've heard if he was lying or not.

But,

I wonder why he made that crack about killing her.

And why lie about going out with her?

It's odd, isn't it?

- Sol-hee. - Yes?

Thank you.

For what?

For everything.

Once this is over, I won't put you through something so hard again.

I promise.

I think it would've been hard if I had been just a regular person.

It'd be frustrating not knowing the truth

when everyone says they didn't do it.

I used to think being able to hear lies was tough,

but now I'm glad I have this ability.

So,

it's not hard for me at all.

That boy used to chase after Eom-ji.

Fine.

I killed her.

I'm kidding.

Do-ha.

I only meant to wait until you woke up,

but I ended up falling asleep too.

We should go in. Let's get some sleep inside.

Actually, I need to go see Deuk-chan.

Right now?

Yes,

he might know where Jae-chan is.

What if he gets mad knowing you suspect his brother?

Wait, let me ask.

What?

I'll pretend that I'm the one who suspects, not you.

You don't have to do that.

And there's no need to worry about him.

I know you two are like brothers,

but Jae-chan is his actual brother.

I know Deuk-chan.

And you said so yourself

that he really does believe in me.

That's what bothers me.

He could've said that knowing his brother is the real killer.

- So I'll go and... - Sol-hee.

I'll handle this with Deuk-chan.

I wish you wouldn't doubt him.

Okay.

You're not mad, are you?

Why would I be mad?

You should get going.

Yeah, I'm in Hakcheon.

The higher-ups won't give me airtime

so I'm going to post it on my channel.

No, my personal… I'll call you back.

Excuse me, are you Detective Gwak Jin-hyeok?

I'd like to ask you a few questions.

You're from the TV station, aren't you?

Shouldn't you be searching

the area Choi Eom-ji was found?

You might be able to find personal belongings or evidence.

Hand in an official request if you want to ask questions.

It just seems like the case wasn't handled properly five years ago,

and even now, so I was wondering if there was a reason for that.

Detective Gwak!

Please take my business card at least. Here.

Call me if you want to talk. Please.

So, you saw Choi Eom-ji and Kim Seung-ju together?

No one cared when I called it in back then.

Why are you following up on it now?

You can't trust Hakcheon PD.

They're all in it together.

I'm sorry.

Can you tell me again, in detail?

I saw them when I got out of my car to get some air.

Oh my.

Oh, I feel sick.

Take deep breaths. Look out at the ocean too.

Seung-ju!

I noticed a guy in a red uniform walking towards her.

I feel better now.

Should we take a walk on the beach while we're here?

What? I told you, I have a soccer game to catch.

Let's hurry up and go.

So you didn't actually see Kim Seung-ju's face?

It was too far to make out a face,

but the girl definitely called out his name, "Seung-ju."

So it must've been him, right? I heard the two were in a relationship.

You didn't see anything else after that?

No, I left.

But it definitely seemed like the guy

was coming back after he had left.

But the news said the guy left the girl

to go watch a soccer game.

That seemed odd to me.

Hey.

- Isn't that Kim Do-ha? - It is.

Come in.

It's been a while.

Yeah.

It has.

Have a seat.

Do-ha, there was a huge mix-up

with the article that went out.

I know how hard you're working to clean up this mess because of me.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I know it's harder on you.

I

Went to Hakcheon.

Why'd you go there?

Did the cops want to question you again?

No. I went because I wanted to find the real killer.

Also,

I ran into Jae-chan while I was there.

Was he gambling there again?

You knew?

Yes.

You know those moronic friends he had from school?

Apparently, they're still there bumming around.

He promised me he wouldn't go there to gamble again.

Then,

did you know Jae-chan used to like Eom-ji?

You know

Eom-ji only cared about you. Jae-chan just had a crush.

I didn't want you to worry by telling you…

Do you know where he is now?

Why are you looking for him?

Don't tell me

you suspect him.

I do.

Hey.

I know he's good-for-nothing

but he'd never kill anyone.

I met Eom-ji's dad in Hakcheon.

He thinks Jae-chan is the one who killed her.

You believe that alcoholic?

He just seems suspicious to me too.

Do-ha.

How could you?

After everything we've done for you?

Deuk-chan.

I'm really disappointed in you.

You should go.

On the day she went missing,

there was a tip from someone who saw Kim Seung-ju but I heard you ignored it.

Says who?

Choi Eom-ho left a memo in his notebook,

and I confirmed it with the witness.

Why did you do it?

Did you really take money from Jung Yeon-mi?

You're crossing the line.

I admire you and have nothing but respect for you.

When I returned after my sick leave everyone looked at me with concern,

but only you believed in me.

Even now, I don't think you're bad cop.

I'm sure there was a reason.

But it's been five years now and her body has been found.

We can still set this right.

That's enough.

Why are you so hung up on this case?

What do you mean, why?

That's our job, to get to the bottom of things.

This isn't your case.

If you come here one more time,

I'll call your boss.

Why isn't he calling? I'm worried.

Hey…

Some old man keeps dropping by your cafe.

An old man?

I asked who he was but he wouldn't say.

Is it a customer?

If you're closed because of your boyfriend,

just open it back up.

We don't care about that and we don't believe he did it anyway.

Over there. That's him.

Dad?

I wanted to buy you something nice. Why did you choose this place?

I like places like this.

Would you like to order?

I'll have the soybean paste stew. You?

That's included in today's special, right?

- Yes. - We'll get two specials then.

No, that's too pricey.

Just the soybean paste stew for me.

All right.

Don't spend your money. You worked so hard for it.

But dad, why are you wearing sunglasses…?

Oh, I got stung by a bee.

A bee?

- Let me see. - It's fine now.

I'm wearing this by habit.

Looks fine, right?

That could've been so bad.

So, where and how have you been?

Are you well?

I'm here

because of your boyfriend.

Mom told you?

He didn't do it.

I heard loud and clear.

You had to make do without a lot of things

because of your ability.

You didn't have Santa Claus or friends at school

when you were young,

and your mom wasn't around when you needed her the most.

That's why I wish you'd just see a regular guy.

You having special abilities is hard as it is.

But he doesn't think that it's special.

He didn't act any differently when he found out about my ability.

And also, he doesn't lie.

So I feel like an ordinary person when I'm with him.

Also, he's totally the opposite from me.

I always doubt people

but when he trusts someone, he trusts them 100%.

I'm kind of jealous actually,

but it's frustrating too.

When it comes to trust, there can only be 100%.

It's not trust if you trust someone 99% with 1% of doubt.

If you want to trust this boy, trust him 100%.

Let's eat.

The stew was $8, right?

Dad, let me pay.

- No, I have money. - It's okay. I'll pay.

- No, don't. - We'll pay with this.

I told you not to spend your money.

It's okay, it's okay.

Goodbye.

- Dad. - Yes?

Use this.

It's okay.

Just take it.

It's really okay.

You know I mean it.

Yeah, why is that?

Mom is always asking me for more money.

Impeccable timing as always.

Hey, mom.

Hey, can you send $5,000 to my account?

What?

Within five minutes. It's urgent.

Stop asking her for money! It's not yours!

You took more money from her

than you ever spent while raising her.

We had her because we wanted to

and she did her job by growing up well.

Don't make her live as your personal piggy bank.

Block her number.

Geez.

Unbelievable.

Did he seriously just yell at me?

Living with someone young

must've gone to his head.

Oh, I apologize.

I'm a little late, aren't I?

It's all right. Have a seat.

Getting this wrapped took longer than I expected.

Oh my.

What's this?

Is it

for me?

Open it.

My goodness. What could it be?

Another box.

Oh my goodness.

Do you like it?

Oh, very.

It's so…

Sparkly.

Is that so?

Should I help you put it on?

What? Oh, it's okay…

Wait a sec.

I'm getting far-sighted due to age.

Oh, me too.

Wow.

You look beautiful.

Oh, really?

- I'll put the bracelet on for you too. - Oh, you don't have to…

They look so much better on you that I expected.

I'm in awe.

You have a good eye.

Wow.

Excuse me. Can we get the menu, please?

Do-ha.

How could you?

After everything we've done for you?

Please leave a message…

Was I too hard on her?

Sol-hee.

Can we talk?

Sol-hee.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I should've listened to you.

Sol-hee.

What's wrong?

Rooney is missing.

Turtles are usually found in dark corners.

Like under desks, beds, or the fridge.

Rooney has never wandered off before.

What if he fell into a drain?

The bathroom.

What's this?

Wow.

Hey, where did you find this?

It was under the sofa.

Oh no.

What if he fell off the terrace?

No,

I'm sure he's inside the house somewhere.

I'll find him.

Rooney.

Rooney.

Rooney.

Rooney.

Rooney.

He'll be around somewhere.

Try not to worry too much.

Sol-hee!

Rooney, where were you?

He was under the sink.

I looked everywhere for you.

You better not get out again.

I've had Rooney since middle school.

I tell him everything.

I'm sure he understands everything I say.

Why did you tell Rooney everything?

He can keep secrets.

Being able to hear lies, I realized

that even friends don't keep your secrets.

Oh, I don't mean you and Mr. Cho.

I wasn't able to find out where Jae-chan is

and Deuk-chan got mad at me.

I told you I'd handle it but you were right.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings earlier.

I did feel a little hurt,

but I also felt a little envious.

I've never trusted anyone 100% before.

Then I'll be your first.

Oh, I should feed Rooney.

This is Lee Kang-min. Can we meet?

But don't tell Sol-hee.

What's this about?

I'll get straight to the point.

The day Choi Eom-ji went missing,

there was a witness who saw you

going to the beach to meet her.

I went to the beach to meet her?

I went there together with Eom-ji.

Who is this witness? Why did they suddenly show up now?

You didn't watch the soccer game that day, did you?

No, I didn't.

How long were you there with Choi Eom-ji?

I left her there pretty early.

I told her I didn't want to see her anymore, and walked all the way home.

That means

you didn't go to that bar.

I walked along that country road all night long,

and no one was home when I arrived

so I didn't have an alibi.

That's why Deuk-chan and Jae-chan

made an alibi for me.

So you're saying

the person in the CCTV footage was Cho Jae-chan,

not you?

Yes.

And I already told the police this when I was questioned this time around.

Look here.

Jae-chan and Deuk-chan

were waiting for you at the bar.

And a witness says he saw a man in a red uniform

walking toward Choi Eom-ji who was alone.

Then who do you think that was?

It could really have been Jae-chan.

What?

I didn't know until now,

but it turns out he liked Eom-ji a lot.

You're suspecting the guy

who provided an alibi for you?

Yes. Like the way you're suspecting me now.

I want to catch the killer too.

It'll be faster to find the real killer

instead of trying to get me.

And also,

don't tell me to sneak out again.

I'm terrible at lying,

and I don't have the ability to fool Sol-hee either.

How can he be so confident?

Min-ji.

Min-ji.

What's wrong?

Min-ji.

Min-ji.

Min-ji.

What is going on?

She's been ill for seven years now.

Respiratory issues are a common symptom near the end.

It's time

to prepare yourself.

What are you saying?

Please don't say that.

We'll do everything we can.

What brings you all the way here?

It's been a while since we met

because I've been so busy.

I just wanted to thank you

for your help with my son

and getting rid of the evidence.

Once the election is over,

you'll be promoted.

You may have to move though.

You know I can't leave Hakcheon because of my daughter.

Well,

you'll leave some day.

You know how that illness progresses.

Are you

saying my girl will die?

Do you know she's in critical condition?

Of course not.

If my daughter dies,

you won't have the hospital fees to threaten me with.

Is that why you came with another bribe?

Just in case I had a change of heart?

Who's threatening anyone?

We're helping each other out, are we not?

This is wrong.

I may be

a dirty cop who took your money,

but how can you only think about yourself

when my daughter is dying?

OUT OF BUSINESS

He's not here.

It was a long shot.

Damn.

Excuse me.

Why are you here? Who are you looking for?

Who else but the punks who owe me money?

Punks?

I thought there was only one owner.

Yes, but there's another punk who stole from the owner too.

Do you know his number by any chance?

He won't pick up anyway.

But who are you?

I

Was also scammed.

I can't believe I entrusted him with my money.

I'm so angry,

I can't even eat or sleep.

Me too.

My wife is always yelling at me.

This is his number.

Let's get our money back, no matter what.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

- Good luck. - Good luck.

Hello?

I… I was scammed too.

Do you know where Cho Jae-chan is?

Hello?

You can't just come right out and ask him that!

Even I would've hung up on you.

Sheesh.

Wait for me.

I want to catch the killer too.

It'll be faster to find the real killer

instead of trying to get me.

Yes, Chief.

Right now?

Where are you?

Chief, what are you doing in Seoul?

Here.

It's the ring that was found next to Choi Eom-ji's body.

I think it was a matching ring set

but only the man's ring was found.

You're right.

I took Jung Yeon-mi's money.

It's inadmissible as evidence now,

so try to find the weapon Kim Seung-ju used

or see if he has kept any of the victim's belongings.

It's unlikely but that's the only option we have now.

Chief.

I'm sorry.

I did this for my daughter

but it feels like she's being punished for my actions.

I'll accept the punishment for what I did.

Could it just be someone else's ring

with a similar design?

Where did you get that ring?

Is it yours?

No, someone else.

Someone one who?

Just someone.

Can I take a look?

I'm looking into matching rings

for me and my girlfriend.

Be careful with it.

Got it.

It's a pretty unique design.

It is?

This is unique?

I'm 100% sure the design was customized.

You can get it done in Jongno.

Nice ring.

Should I get something like this too?

If this was customized,

that means it's one-of-a-kind, right?

Yeah, I guess.

Hello?

Hunter, I found out where Cho Jae-chan is.

Really? Where is he?

There's a gambling room we run in Gangnam.

My men found him there

and we're holding him somewhere nearby.

- I'll text you the address. - Okay, so he's in Gangnam?

I don't know.

You'll never be able to find out like this.

The ring doesn't even have a logo.

That's what everyone keeps telling me.

Do you know when this was made?

Probably about six or seven years ago.

The most popular place to make rings back then…

See the shop across the street?

They had the most customers.

You should go ask them.

Okay. Thank you.

We're here for Cho Jae-chan.

Where is he?

He's not here.

Excuse me? We were told he was.

He managed to get away. We're sorry about this.

When did he escape?

He didn't escape.

Or maybe he was never here in the first place.

What are you talking about?

He was just here but he got away.

If he was here, but didn't escape…

Did you let him go?

Why would we do that?

Cut the crap, and just go.

Didn't your boss tell you who I was?

Should I give him a call?

No, we had no choice.

Hey!

He owed us a lot of money.

Someone paid it off for letting him go.

- So… - Who?

I really don't know.

Was it

this man?

Yes, it's ours.

I can tell by the craftsmanship.

Only we can make it like this.

Can I get any information about the person who had it made?

Why?

I'm a detective from Yeonseo Station.

That ring was found at a crime scene.

We need to know who had it made. I ask for your cooperation.

Do you know how many rings we've made over the years?

It'll take a few days to check.

So, you don't know the name of the person who ordered it, right?

Kim Seung-ju. Can you look up the name Kim Seung-ju?

I've never seen him before.

That wasn't him.

It was him.

Cho Deuk-chan took him.

Why did you lie?

Did he ask you to say that he escaped?

No, that's not what happened.

It is.

Okay, got it.

Are you deaf? You're wrong.

Why are you contradicting everything we say?

It's true if I say it's true.

Let's go.

What…

Hey…

Oh, here it is.

Now I remember.

The man who ordered this was quite particular.

Ordered by Kim Seung-ju, matching rings.

But I see that he had another man's ring made.

Excuse me?

"The man lost his ring in a week and had another one made.

Asked us to keep it a secret so that his girlfriend wouldn't get mad."

That's what it says in the memo.

Also, he changed the ring size.

From size 16 to 17.

It could really have been Jae-chan.

It turns out he liked Eom-ji a lot.

Could it have been a different man?

I wouldn't know…

Besides, men do this sometimes

because the ring is too tight.

What size is this ring?

This is size 17.

The one that was remade.

Did this man leave a number when he had it made a second time?

- Was it the same number as the first? - No, it wasn't a cell phone.

He left a number for a land line.

Here you go.

This number has been disconnected.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hey.

Deuk-chan.

Where are you?

I wasn't feeling well today so I'm at home.

I see.

Is your wife and Si-eun there with you?

They went to see my wife's parents.

I'm here on my own.

Why?

I'm sorry about the other day.

It's okay.

I'm sorry too.

As for Jae-chan…

I haven't heard from him.

I haven't seen him since he closed down his burger joint.

Okay, thanks.

Wow, I'm kind of touched.

You feel like my big brother for the first time ever. Thanks.

How long are you going to stay here?

I just got here.

Let me stay a few days.

It's the safest place to be.

Do you think

he's hiding Jae-chan knowing he's the killer

or maybe he doesn't know?

I can't tell

unless I hear his voice in person.

Hi, Kang-min. What's going on?

With Do-ha?

You had matching rings with Choi Eom-ji.

What did you do with yours?

This is the third time I'm being asked about this.

Was the ring found somewhere or what?

Please, just answer my question first.

After she went missing, I threw mine out in the ocean.

Did you ever lose it and have it remade?

No, never.

So,

you only had two rings made?

Of course. It was a matching set.

This one isn't yours.

It belongs to the killer.

The killer's ring?

What do you mean?

- Who's the killer? - Someone

who was close enough to you

to know where the rings were made.

Also,

someone

who was in love with Choi Eom-ji.

He left this phone number.

I looked into it,

and it was for JJ Wine Bar which closed six years ago.

Do you know the place?

That used to be Jae-chan's bar.

I am standing here today because of your faith in me.

Please look at my achievements

rather than groundless suspicions.

Please make me the governor of Gyeonggi-do Province.

What now?

Will you arrest Cho Jae-chan and get him to confess?

All cases need more than a confession to get a guilty verdict.

We need evidence.

Then,

this ring could've been evidence.

So,

the most important thing

is to find the murder weapon

or anything that belonged to the victim.

But it's unlikely that he'll have kept anything.

I should meet Jae-chan.

I'm Jung Yeon-mi.

Good luck.

I'll make Gyeonggi-do Province safe.

- Oh, thank you… - Jung Yeon-mi!

Thank you.

It's delicious.

- I'll take this. - Sure.

- And eat it at home. - Of course.

Thank you. Vote for No. 1.

This is you, isn't it?

This is you talking!

Who's threatening anyone?

We're helping each other out, are we not?

Move along!

A Chinese restaurant in Hakcheon.

Assemblywoman Jeon Yeon-mi met

with the detective in charge of this case.

I just wanted to thank you

for your help with my son

and getting rid of the evidence.

This is wrong.

I may be a dirty cop who took your money…

Through persistent persuasion I was able to hear his confession.

At the site where Choi Eom-ji was found,

I also found a ring that presumably belongs to the suspect Kim.

It was a matching ring with Choi Eom-ji's.

I hid this crucial piece of evidence.

I'm sorry.

I rushed to close the case five years ago

without a thorough investigation.

What are we going to do?

Everyone thinks that ring is yours.

Sol-hee.

I'd like to officially hire you.

You want to know where

Cho Jae-chan is through Cho Deuk-chan?

Yes.

And how much he knows about Jae-chan too.

Okay.

But you need to do some acting for this.

Do you think you can lie?

I'll have to.

It'll buzz once if it's true, twice if it's a lie.

Where should we meet?

Deuk-chan, I'm sorry. Can we meet up and talk?

Yes, I'm in.

We'll be out in an hour.

Thank you.

I'll be listening over there.

Okay.

Do-ha.

Everything could be fine.

Then you can keep on trusting him as you do now.

- Hey, Deuk-chan. - Hey.

You made it.

What is this place?

Did you rent the whole place?

I come here

from time to time to play the piano.

You?

Play the piano here?

Yeah, it's been a while.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I would've come to watch.

I know.

I don't know why,

but I wanted to keep this place to myself.

You had secrets from me too?

Now that I think about it

I guess

I didn't tell you everything.

The sound here

must be good.

They've got good equipment.

Deuk-chan.

I want to apologize for the other day.

I thought you might be hiding Jae-chan.

Why would I?

If he'd been with me, I'd have told you right away.

Why do you think my ring was found there though?

Do you know anything?

I read the news articles.

They said it was inadmissible as evidence.

Jae-chan will

Where is it? Tell me.

Sol-hee.
