Another one.

It's that dream again.

It hasn't reached that time yet,

but it already feels like I'm there.

Even after waking up, it still feels like I'm dreaming.

It feels like morning will never come.

The night spent in a horrible dream.

And there's a sound that ends the night.

The sound that tells me the night is now gone,

and the dream hides in the future. It's telling me not to worry.

"It's morning, so you're okay."

It's a sound that comforts me.

To me, my mom is the morning that wakes me up from the night.

Goodness, you're unbelievable.

I can't believe I celebrated after giving birth to you.

How can a human being live here? It's a pigsty.

That's why I can't eat pork.

It reminds me of you.

Mom.

Can I sleep five more minutes like this?

What's gotten into you? You're acting funny.

Did you have that dream again?

Yes.

You crazy jerk.

Why are you leaving so early these days?

Are you seeing someone?

No. I'm leaving early so I don't see someone I know.

Who is that?

Who is it?

Okay. Thank you.

The lady across the street brought us mackerels.

Go get them.

Hey, you get them.

You should get them. I need to go to the bathroom.

If I go out like this, she'll get the wrong idea.

You look nice. Why?

That's it. Looking nice is the problem.

I look too hot when I'm out just to get mackerels. This looks unnatural.

She'll get the wrong idea if she sees me. And I don't want that happening now.

What are you talking about?

-Come on. -Let go of me.

-I need to take a dump. - Hey, Seung-won. You brat. Hey.

That little punk.

It's you.

Your brother told me that you barely eat anything for your breakfast.

You shouldn't do that. You won't have energy then.

I wrapped them individually.

Put them in the freezer and grill them.

They are already salted. You just grill them.

It's much easier than cooking ramyeon.

Okay. Thank you.

You must like mackerel. I should have given them to you sooner.

-You're early again. -Yes.

Americano with a double shot--

And hazelnut syrup. The lady with the bob haircut ordered it just a moment ago.

She went to the restroom. She'll be back soon.

-She came here at this time? -Yes.

It looked like you guys kept missing each other these days.

I told the lady she could see you if she came early.

-Aren't you glad I did that? -No. Why did you do such a thing?

Here she comes.

Damn it. Goodness.

Americano with a double shot and hazelnut syrup. That's your order, right?

Gosh. Are you stalking me? Don't you have something better to do?

No, I don't.

Is there a morning meeting these days?

I didn't know you went to work so early. I haven't seen you for a few days.

I thought you were on a break. Shouldn't you go back to work?

If I do, you won't be able to see me often.

-Is that what you want? -Yes, desperately.

Too bad. I like seeing you more than going back to work.

Gosh. Perhaps you just don't want to go back to work.

It's not that I don't want to.

Should I go back to work or not?

Why are you asking me?

It's because I really don't know what to do.

It's 50/50.

It's half and half.

REINSTATEMENT FORM

So you should decide it for me.

I'll do as you say.

Should I go back to work or not?

Is journalism a hard profession? Do you hate going back to work that much?

No. It's because I want to go back.

I really want to do it.

SEOUL HANGANG DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

You look good.

I was born with it.

-Are you dating someone? -Yes.

Seriously?

Yes, I'm dating my cases.

Your cases?

-My gosh. -Hello, Mr. Lee.

Good morning.

-Morning. -Morning.

Fourth floor.

-Get in. -I'll take the next one.

He must be going down.

-Get in. There's plenty of room here. -No.

Can you guys move back?

-We don't have much space here. -Wait.

-Get in. -He's going down.

-Hey. -Gosh.

Get in.

I need to pee.

Hey, he says it's urgent. Get in already.

I really need to go now.

Hold it.

Did you make any progress?

Things were pretty quick with me.

Hey, it only took me a month to--

That's enough. There are other people here.

It took me a month to get the Excellent Prosecutor Award.

Is it something I can't talk about when other people are around?

No.

You must have been thinking about other progress than work.

Were you thinking about Ms. Nam Hong-ju?

"Nam Hong-ju"?

See you later.

Bye.

Hey, speaking of which, I was much quicker than you.

-Going up. -Get things rolling.

What progress? Are they talking about what I think they're talking about?

That rumor must be true.

He really must have stolen Mr. Lee's girlfriend.

-Really? -I can hear all of you just fine.

Well, if you heard us, why don't you make a statement this time?

If you don't take care of such rumors, they will snowball.

The more I explain about such rumors, they snowball even more.

Who is the lady named Nam Hong-ju?

I don't know her, either.

Nam Hong-ju? The one from the restaurant, Hong-ju's Pork Belly?

-Yes. -The one with good kimchi stew?

That's right.

I could see her when I go there. Been?

No, not yet.

From what I've heard, she's got the looks and the brains.

She's pretty and smart? What is she like?

Is she like Prosecutor Sin?

Gosh, not at all.

Right. People wouldn't say that about Prosecutor Sin.

I agree. She's...

considered pretty among regular people.

I heard that Ms. Nam Hong-ju is on a different level.

She's on a level regular people can't touch.

Right. Mr. Lee said

she never falls for a guy, no matter how hard men try.

She's totally a femme fatale style.

What? What did you say? She's femme... What?

You know,

some women seduce men with their beauty and intellect,

but they never fully love men. They are femme fatales.

You did pick the bones clean. Goodness.

So what is it? Which part is missing this time?

The leg was missing.

That's a key part of fried chicken, along with the wing.

Listen. I'm not a machine. When I wrap the chicken for to-go,

sometimes the pieces get mixed up in boxes, you know.

I'll pay more attention to that next time. Okay?

I have ordered 26 fried chickens from this place.

Like you said, if the pieces got mixed up, there must be a time I should get more.

-Right. -But you see,

I have never gotten an extra piece!

The name is Whole Chicken.

But how come I have never eaten a whole chicken all this time?

Where did the missing pieces go?

Is it possible that you're making another chicken with the missing parts?

You're unbelievable.

Are you what people call a problem customer?

You pick a fight without evidence and extort money.

If I report this, you'll be punished.

Evidence? Yes, I have it.

This is the video I took the moment I received the chicken.

According to the video--

I sent you out for groceries. What are you doing here?

You make me say, "God, damn."

I gave birth to her, but I don't understand her at all.

Okay.

-Come here. Come. -I'll come back.

-Come with me now. -I'll be watching you.

-What? Are you the Terminator? -Mom.

-Let go of me. Mother! -You little brat.

What's your problem? What is it?

What happened to shopping for groceries?

Why were you wasting time at his restaurant?

Right? Even you think this is a waste of time, right?

I used to be a correspondent

for the prosecution, police, and National Assembly.

Now, I'm digging into the corruption behind a fried chicken restaurant.

I'm totally wasting my talent. This is a total waste of my talent.

So you'll go back to work?

-Did you see that? -Of course, I did.

You put it on your desk as if you wanted me to see it!

Why aren't you answering me?

Are you going back to work?

Yes.

You said you were a reporter when you died in your dream.

You said you couldn't work because you were scared.

You said you would run the restaurant with me.

Why did you change your mind? Why?

It's not that I changed my mind.

The future could change.

You said you couldn't.

You said you couldn't change it because you knew the future.

It changed. Look at Jae-chan.

He saved you and me.

So you'll go back to work because of what he can do?

Did he say that he'd save you? Will he protect you?

I mean,

he didn't exactly say that.

I'll be blunt. He changed the future. Why can't I change it?

You can't. You can't change it!

Why not? What can he do that I can't?

There are a lot! There are tons!

Mom. I'm your daughter.

You can trust him, but not me?

I can't.

To me, it's harder to trust you than him and you are way weaker than him.

I worry about you more and...

You are much more precious to me than he is.

You are...

the only family I have, too.

So don't leave me alone.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Good girl. That's my daughter.

My pumpkin.

My goodness. Gosh.

-We're here for pork belly. -Hello.

Again?

I skipped breakfast, so I'm starving.

Forty-four thousand and seven, forty-four thousand and eight,

-forty-four thousand and nine... -What the heck is he doing?

It's about the protest in Gwanghwamun yesterday.

He's trying to see if the counting done by the police is correct

or if the counting done by the organization is.

He must have time lying around on his hands.

-Forty-four thousand and fifteen. -Hey, Du-hyeon.

Hong-ju's leave of absence ends next week.

What's her plan? Will she come back to work?

Forty-four thousand and nineteen. Why are you asking me that? Twenty.

We're getting new uniforms. I need to count our people and tell them.

Hey, you're her senior.

You should look out for her.

-Forty-four thousand and twenty four. -Four.

-Four. -Nine.

Nine... Come on, Captain!

I forgot the number because of you.

You're my senior. I don't expect you to look out for me.

At least try not to mess things up for me.

Hey, others might think you're my senior. Not vice versa.

What should I do? Should I count her in or not?

One, two...

-He's frustrating. -...three,

-four, five... -He's coldhearted.

-...six, seven, eight... -Gosh.

He must've gone mad.

Let's wrap up our meeting here.

Lunch Duty, where are we eating today?

Today--

Sir.

Why did you not sign the hit-and-run murder case with a drunk driver?

I explained it in your file.

Indicting the passenger for aiding and abetting drunk driving

is a bit too much. I'm sure you know.

Even if you indict the passenger, the defendant will be found not guilty.

That's what happened last month, too.

So where are we going?

-Today-- -Last year,

there were precedents. The defendants got probation in Gwangju and Daejeon.

What about Japan? They had an identical case to this one,

and they sentenced the passenger to two years in prison.

Right. I read about that case.

Is it similar to yours?

Yes. No, it's actually worse.

Gosh, no.

Both of them drank to the point they got wasted,

and he gave the key to the driver from the valet.

He said he knew a route the police didn't inspect

and asked the driver to drop him off. He practically instigated the driver.

This is enough for instigation of drunk driving.

Because of that accident, a nine-year-old boy lost his parents,

and he will have to be chained to a colostomy bag for the rest of his life.

Had he stopped the driver, this wouldn't have happened.

I was lenient with my charge.

I should've given him a harsher punishment.

He didn't drive the car. You can't punish him for handing over the key.

You cannot make everyone into a criminal just because you're a prosecutor.

-Sir. -Prosecutor Son.

All right. Let's get lunch first.

If we starve, we can't solve cases we're capable of solving.

Prosecutor Jeong, what's for lunch?

Okay. It's the pork cutlet place across the street. Pork Cutlet Champion.

Rookie, did you read my mind?

I wanted to eat pork cutlet.

Gosh, Pork Cutlet Champion serves great food.

But the chief had drinks yesterday. Shouldn't you cure your hangover first?

I heard that the kimchi stew from Hong-ju's Pork Belly is to die for.

That's too far. Let's go somewhere nearby. It's across the street.

Yes. There are a lot of kimchi stew restaurants nearby.

Let's go to Hong-ju's Pork Belly.

The weather is nice. We can take a walk there as exercise.

Let's get going.

The weather is really nice these days.

I get off at the previous station and walk here these days.

Let's go.

Here's my analysis of our dreams.

You've been randomly dreaming about a lot of people.

And recently, you dream about Jae-chan a lot.

-Yes. -I think

Jae-chan mostly dreams about you.

And I mostly dream about Jae-chan.

Really? That's interesting.

I'm sure there's a rule to this. You were the first to dream about the future.

Next was Jae-chan. And I was the last one.

If I were to compare it to a contagious disease, you're patient zero.

Sharing air, physical contact, or radio waves can't be the cause.

If that's the case, more people should be affected.

Hey, am I a patient with a contagious disease?

No, I was trying to make this easy to understand.

Do you hate having these dreams?

Yes.

It makes me wonder if I betrayed my country in my previous life.

So perhaps I'm being punished for it.

No. You must have saved your country in your previous life.

Just wait until we figure out the rule.

We'll be able to stop all kinds of crimes and disasters before they happen.

Hold on a second. What do I do if I see a war or a terrorist attack in my dream?

Hong-ju, we should each master a foreign language.

That way, we can communicate with the world and stop the crimes.

You know, I can speak a bit of German.

-Hello. -Lieutenant Han is very well-mannered.

He's handsome, too. He has an American style.

It's because he takes after me.

Look at us. He looks exactly like me.

Whenever we work together, people say that I've done a great job raising my brother.

People compliment me left and right.

Can you issue a cash receipt?

-Of course. -Thank you.

You're so excited.

Do you like having those dreams?

Of course.

What if you die in your dream?

What are you talking about? You'll bring bad luck.

You're a police officer.

What if you die in your dream because of a dangerous case you work on?

Will you quit being a cop?

That's crazy. Do you know how hard I worked to become a police officer?

But you could die if you keep working as a police officer.

I can change the future while I work.

I can change it.

I can do it.

Really? Is that what you really think?

Get out!

Ma'am, what's wrong?

Don't call me ma'am. Get out now.

Get out of here now.

Mom.

-Ma'am, but-- -Stop calling me that.

Stop talking nonsense and get out of here.

Leave right now!

I'll leave now.

What was that for?

Did I say something wrong?

No. I don't think it's something you did. I think it was something I did.

I asked her to issue a cash receipt.

My gosh. Why did you do that? It didn't even cost that much.

My gosh, she gave us free bowls of rice.

-Damn it. -Damn it.

Han U-tak?

PROSECUTOR, POLICE OFFICER

-Hello. -Hello.

Take any table you want.

Goodness, it's my dear prosecutor.

Rookie, you must be close with the owner.

Of course, he's a regular here.

Is the rumor true? Are you two dating--

No, we are not.

If he's a regular here, does that mean he gets free stuff like some soda?

You know what? I find those people who ask for a soda at a barbecue restaurant

or fried dumplings at a Chinese restaurant really pathetic.

It's like they're trying to steal.

No way. It's not stealing. Of course, we'll give you some stuff on the house.

Please wait.

That must be Ms. Nam Hong-ju. She's so pretty.

She looks smart. And how should I put it?

She's like a femme fatale style.

She is?

Femme...

Lord, even in difficult situations, you allow us to be kind and wise.

Please allow everyone in Criminal Division Three

to be wise. And please guide us not to lose sight of justice

in punishing people who have committed crimes.

A boy became an orphan due to an unfortunate accident,

and he will have to live his life with a disability.

The one who did not stop the man from causing the accident

must be considered a sinner in this tragedy.

I ask that you punish the one who didn't stop

the accident with your just means.

Drunk driving isn't a deliberate offense. It's considered negligence.

One cannot aid or abet a mistake one cannot foresee.

Therefore, you cannot punish someone--

Causing an accident from drunk driving

is very predictable. One can easily predict that.

Right.

Lord, punishing the one who disregarded something so predictable

is a logical decision according to the letter of the law.

Going by that logic, a lot of people who do not donate money

and turn a blind eye to those starving kids ought to be punished.

-And-- -Please save us from fools who are trying

to cloud the issue.

We are living in a country where elders are respected.

-Please help us respect our elders-- -Wait.

We're praying to God. Why are you bringing that up?

That's a principle of Confucianism.

If the doctrines are similar, I could bring that up.

Don't you know about religious harmony?

Let's not do this. Why don't we vote? It's fair and square.

We can be democratic about it.

Miss, give us some free soda.

Don't give it to us for free. Make sure you charge us.

-Okay. -Great.

Let's settle this by a show of hands.

The passenger who didn't stop the drunk driver must be also punished.

Raise your hands.

The passenger should not be punished. Raise your hands.

Prosecutor Jeong, what is this? Why didn't you vote?

Both parties made good points.

I need to give it more thought to come to an answer.

Don't try to please everyone. Just speak your mind.

Not voting is a cowardly thing to do.

Don't you agree?

Why are you asking me that?

I was wondering if I was the only one thinking that he was being a coward.

I'm not sure.

To begin with, praying like this makes me think...

you're going against the impartiality of religion

that civil servants ought to have.

No, listen. The four of us are believers.

No way. I doubt that.

Pardon?

At most, 20 percent of the population in Korea are Christians.

Then, the probability that all four of you are believers

is 0.2 to the 4th power. It's 0.0016.

It's lower than the probability of seeing a double rainbow which people rarely see.

That means it doesn't make sense.

That means someone here is definitely hiding

his or her religious belief to please his or her senior.

And not joining to pray in a group like this means

that he is a man of conviction.

I don't think he's trying to please everyone or that he's being a coward.

He's probably thinking about this with his conviction.

More carefully than anyone else here.

Did that answer your question?

My gosh. Who's that lady?

She's so eloquent.

The way she talks...

I've heard of it from somewhere.

Nam Hong-ju!

Jeez!

You startled me.

The lady at the restaurant is a reporter.

Reporter Nam Hong-ju.

She was a reporter for current affairs at SBC.

I didn't recognize her because she cut her hair, but that's her.

-I knew it. -What kind of reporter was she?

Gosh, she was unstoppable.

How do you feel?

She positioned herself better than Inzaghi when the police brought out suspects.

She squeezed up next to the police and bombarded them with questions.

And her voice was really loud.

I thought she had a megaphone with her.

Please say something!

An active-duty chief prosecutor's sexual harassment against

female prosecutors at the after-work get-togethers stirred up a controversy.

Was it last year? The sexual harassment case of the prosecutor in Yeonju?

She was the reporter who exposed him and got him fired.

It's been confirmed that he touched certain parts of female prosecutors

and sexually harassed them.

And all of a sudden, she just went off the grid.

So I thought she became a foreign correspondent or something.

If she was that successful as a reporter, why is she working in a restaurant?

That's right. I'm curious, too.

She's not the type to quit her profession.

I should ask her that.

The organization that held the candlelight rally at Gwanghwamun announced

700,000 people attended the event.

However, the police announced

that they only counted 150,000 people, which is far less than what was disclosed.

The difference in these numbers

is caused by the difference in the time of counting and the method of counting.

The organization counted people who stayed from the start to the end.

If you start punishing people like that, you'll have to indict everyone.

How are you going to indict everyone?

Let's go back to the core issue and think about this.

-My gosh. -He's responsible for causing

-the accident to happen. -Listen.

It was a car accident.

However, when I counted the number of attendees myself,

around 6 p.m. at the beginning of the rally,

about 307,000 people were counted.

Are you hurt?

Let me see.

My gosh, you should have been careful.

Leave them. I'll finish the rest.

Are you crying? Does it hurt a lot?

Do you want to go to the hospital with me?

I don't think these onions were harvested this year. My eyes sting.

DAE-HUI'S FRIED CHICKEN

-Tae-seop. -Yes.

Here. This is the last delivery for today.

Okay. I'll be back.

Are you serious? Is that why he put aside pieces of chicken?

Fine. Forget it.

I'm a nobody.

I don't even have the energy for it.

What if you die in your dream?

I can change it.

I can do it.

MYUNGWON UNIVERSITY, CANDLELIGHT EVENT, MARCH 28TH.

Say yes! Say yes!

MYUNGWON UNIVERSITY

MYUNGWON UNIVERSITY

Damn it.

What are you doing?

PROSECUTOR SON U-JU

I'm a father, too.

I cried my eyes out after hearing the boy became an orphan because of the accident.

But, you see, I wasn't the one who drove.

All I did wrong was getting in the car with him.

I didn't kill the boy's parents.

No, you did more than getting in the car.

You gave him the car key and told him a route the police didn't inspect.

Handing him the car key is a crime?

Someone else would have given him it if I didn't.

Even if I tried to stop him, he would have driven anyway.

I'll be blunt. Did I force him to drive?

Did I beat him up to drive?

The only thing I did was this.

I only said a few things to him.

Is that enough for you to treat me like I'm a criminal here?

Gosh, that frustrating man.

That wasn't a light offense.

Gosh, Prosecutor Son is indeed stubborn.

The chief turned down her sentencing. She should just decide not to indict him.

I can't believe she hauled him in here to interrogate him.

Rookie, why are you here?

Did you decide which way you'll vote?

I had a favor to ask.

I need to interrogate a suspect. Bye now.

Bye.

Fine, okay. What is it?

I have an urgent matter to take care of tonight.

Could you take my night shift today?

Gosh.

There's a scary curse at our office.

If you do someone else's night shift on their behalf, you get in trouble.

Bye.

I'll take your weekend shift.

When I switched my shift in the past,

there was an explosion at a karaoke bar.

I'll take yours on a national holiday.

There were so many casualties. They had to do autopsies.

There was a huge pile of paperwork.

Because I took over one night shift, I ended up with a lot of work to do.

I'll set you up on a blind date, then!

What?

Your night shift is today, right?

Yes.

Let's do this right.

Okay.

Hey!

-Get him. -Hey.

-Jae-chan! -You stay right there.

No!

-Are you done sleeping? -I wasn't sleeping.

Aren't you hungry?

A cart bar around the corner

serves unbelievably tasty stir-fried sundae.

Want to have a plate?

Actually, why don't we go on a patrol around Myungwon University

Okay. Let's finish a plate of stir-fried sundae first.

And we can head over to the university.

I'll drive. Let's do our patrol first.

You think we should? That's what I meant, anyway.

Let's go on our patrol.

Hey, where are you going at this hour?

Mom, I might be late. Don't wait up for me.

Where are you going? Why are you taking the fire extinguisher?

To save someone. Someone got hurt in my dream.

Mom, promise me one thing.

If I change my dream

and save the person this time,

please reconsider about me going back to work.

PLEASE SAY YES, CHO-HUI

Say yes! Say yes!

Say yes! Say yes!

What was that?

What is she doing?

What's she doing?

-What was that? -What are you doing?

This is so annoying.

Cho-hui. Cho-hui!

What a relief.

I'm sorry.

It'll be hard to believe, but I just stopped a major accident from happening.

-What the heck are you talking about? -What's your problem?

-Do you know how long this took to set up? -Do you know how hard I worked for this?

-We worked hard for this. -What are you doing?

-Hey! -Stop right there!

-Hey! -Where are you going?

-Where did she go? -I think she was drunk.

Where did she go?

Jae-chan, how did you know I'd be here?

-I think she went that way. -That way?

-Hurry. -Damn it.

It's all right.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three...

In my dream, because of that event, a girl got burned.

So I used the fire extinguisher to save the girl.

But you know what I found out after saving her?

You know the cashier at the cafe, right?

It was her! Isn't that fascinating?

Did you come here because you dreamed about me?

U-tak recently told me

that you dream about me a lot.

I wonder why. Is it similar to how people are attracted to their opposite?

Unexplained attraction? Fate?

I'm sorry about the other day. And thank you.

The other day? When?

A while ago. You had my back at the restaurant.

I see. That?

I didn't have your back.

I only spoke the truth.

I take it back, then.

By the way, did you decide?

Would you indict the man who didn't stop the drunk driver?

Would you not indict him?

I'd indict him.

Why? He didn't cause the accident.

He only handed over the car key.

That's why it's a crime.

If he only handed over the key,

he could have easily not done it.

If it only took a few words to encourage the driver,

it would have taken only a few words to stop the driver.

Had he not done only those things, people wouldn't have died.

If he disregarded something as simple as that, he committed a crime.

He committed a crime because he only did that.

You've changed.

Well, thanks to someone.

-Hey, that bitch is over there. -What?

-She's dead meat. -Damn it.

Excuse me. I'm Lieutenant Han U-tak at Sanggu Patrol Division.

You just jaywalked.

You have violated the second clause of Article 10 in the Road Traffic Act.

No. I didn't cross the street yet. What are you talking about?

We didn't even go close to the road.

I heard everything. You know?

Who's the "bitch"? It sounded like you were going to kill her.

You were on your way to beat someone up, right?

No.

You guys roam around like a pack of hyenas, looking for rotten meat.

You can't hurt people. You got that?

-Come with me. -What are you doing?

What are you doing? Come with me. Come with me now.

-Come with me. -We're sorry.

-Sir. -Sir, please.

-Come with me. -I'm sorry.

-Sir. -We're sorry.

What's wrong? Did you get hurt?

No, I didn't. But this part burns for some reason.

What's wrong with me?

Hello?

Dae-hui.

Dae-hui. Please tell me what happened.

-Hey. -Dae-hui.

Can you hear me?

Cho-hui, what are we going to do?

Byeong-hui isn't opening his eyes.

Dae-hui. This isn't really happening, right?

What on earth happened?

-Byeong-hui. -Byeong-hui.

Why is his body so cold?

Please wake up.

Byeong-hui, I'm here. Please.

Gosh, I have to examine the body on someone else's shift.

The curse of our office has struck again.

The younger brother didn't put on the seatbelt.

He had a dent in his skull from the shock.

And his neck bone was fractured.

My gosh, why didn't he put on his seatbelt?

I know, right?

-Byeong-hui. -Excuse me.

Given the scale of the accident, he didn't bleed much.

Shall we proceed with the autopsy?

No.

No, you can't do that.

To find out the cause of death--

No. You can't.

I killed him.

I could have taken the bus.

I was the one who drove. I drove. I killed my brother.

Let's skip the autopsy, as it is requested by the bereaved family.

No.

I'm back.

My gosh, why did you buy so many crabs?

Mom.

I saved that person.

The female student who got hurt in my dream.

So as we promised--

I never made you a promise. You just assumed that I made a promise.

Mom, you know how I love writing journals.

Even when I only slept for an hour as a rookie,

I made sure I wrote my journal every day.

I probably wrote ten pages badmouthing my senior reporters.

But lately, I can only write three words.

"Same as yesterday."

I can even write it in advance. "Tomorrow will be the same."

All the journals from the past year combined are less than

the journal from a day when I was working.

What's your point?

Mom, I just want today to be

a bit more interesting than the day before.

I don't want to waste my days because I'm scared of my dreams.

So you're telling me that you want to go back to work?

Even when you died in your dream as a reporter?

I won't die.

I can change my dream. You know?

After meeting Jae-chan and U-tak, I can change my dreams.

See? I changed it today, too. I realized this when I changed it.

There's one thing certain about my life.

What is that?

That nothing is certain in life.

You're not here to ask for my permission.

You're just here to inform me.

I'm not informing you.

I won't go back to work without your permission.

It's spoiled.

MILK

What's going on here?

I'm in charge of breakfast.

Cook?

I'm really good at cooking.

So-yun, when you come to Korea on vacation, I'll grill you mackerels.

I'm really good at grilling mackerels.

So-yun, he's lying! Do a video-call!

Go away. Get away from me.

-There's a fire! -Come on.

-There's a fire! -I'll call you back.

HONG-JU'S DREAMS, JAE-CHAN'S DREAMS, U-TAK'S DREAMS

Do you have breakfast here?

Fancy meeting you here.

I burnt my toast.

I'm going to have this for my breakfast. What about you?

Well, it's somewhat similar.

By the way, I have a question.

What is it?

You know the car accident?

Something about that accident was really odd.

You definitely saved me from the accident.

For some strange reason,

that moment, I felt like I died in the crash.

It felt unrealistically vivid.

Have you ever felt like that?

As if you experienced coming back from the dead?

I have.

Really? When was that?

It was when I was very young. I fell into water once.

Someone saved me that day.

I definitely lived thanks to that person. But strangely,

I felt like I was sinking to the bottom and drowning to death.

It was so vivid.

I knew it.

Is it possible that the person who saved you...

is Ms. Nam Hong-ju?

What?

Here's my hypothesis.

Because of that feeling I had, I was really grateful to you.

I thought, "I really almost died.

I really want to return the favor to him because he saved me."

-Because of that thought I had, -"Because of that"?

I started to have those dreams.

The dreams that showed me the future of the man who saved me.

Since you have dreams about Ms. Nam Hong-ju, the person who saved you

must be Ms. Nam Hong-ju. What do you think?

That's impossible.

Why not?

The person who saved me is a boy. It wasn't Ms. Nam Hong-ju.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

The person who saved me was a boy who liked baseball and went by Chestnut.

And he was strong and brave.

I'm back!

Mom, the department store is having a sale.

Mom?

Where did she go at this hour?

Should I count this as food waste?

Is that...

the mackerel I gave to you?

No, this is...

Grilling it was harder than I thought.

It was hard to adjust the heat.

Gosh. Don't cook breakfast yourself now. Why don't you have breakfast with us?

Gosh, no. It's all right.

No, I have a favor to ask you.

Well, you don't know...

why Hong-ju quit her job as a reporter, right?

She had a dream. She died in her dream as a reporter.

That's why I told her to quit her job immediately.

I'm sure you know that the dreams Hong-ju has are special.

Yes, I know.

But that stubborn girl is planning to go back to work.

I should have stopped her to the end.

But I let her go back to work because it broke my heart.

It broke my heart that she couldn't do...

what she loves to do.

Anyway, by the way, what do you like to eat, Prosecutor Jeong?

Korean, Chinese, and Western cuisine.

I drove restaurants of every cuisine into the ground,

so I can cook from every cuisine.

So just tell me.

I'll cook you and your brother food you guys like

every single morning.

I won't charge you.

Gosh, I don't get why you want to cook breakfast for us so suddenly.

Well, I'm just grateful to you for several things.

I heard that you saved my daughter several times.

I'm trying to return the favor.

And...

we might need your help again in the future.

If...

Gosh, I hope that never happens.

But if something like that happens,

please protect my daughter.

Should I go back to work or not?

She didn't hate her job.

She wanted to do it, but she was just scared.

Facial expressions can be interesting.

I can do it!

I can do it!

I can do it!

Through facial expressions, you can read someone's mood, thoughts,

and feelings, as if looking in the mirror.

Mom.

My gosh, don't worry. I'm still on the bus. Yes.

Don't you trust your own daughter?

Okay.

I'm over the moon. Of course.

-Through facial expressions... -Yes, ma'am.

...someone can conceal his or her mood, thoughts,

and feelings as if wearing a mask.

However, in a split second,

there is a moment when the barrier between the mask and the mirror gets torn down.

Byeong-hui!

The sincerity no one sees.

The feeling you didn't want anyone to find out.

When they show their faces to the world for a brief moment,

and when you face that moment, don't close your eyes.

Don't pretend you didn't see it when you did.

Don't avoid it.

Let's face it.

Hey, look who's here.

Hello, I'm back!

-It's been a while. -I'm glad to have you back.

Welcome to Hell.

-Long time no see. -Hi.

-Hey. -Captain.

-I'm back. -Is your health back to normal?

-Nice to see you, Hong-ju. -Hi.

Congratulations on your baby's first birthday.

Your eye makeup got smudged. Look in the mirror.

Du-hyeon, I'm back.

I put the team uniform on your desk over there.

He took care of everything. I guess he is your senior indeed.

You're a pervert who says one thing and does another.

Captain, what are you doing?

-Get this. -Come on.

You're my senior. You should try to help me.

What the heck are you doing? Seriously.

When the CI changed, we changed our team uniforms, too.

I was sick of purple. Try it on. Check if it suits you well.

Is it that hard to cross the street?

I don't know. Is it because I haven't been here for a while?

It's a bit hard. And I'm nervous for some reason, too.

What should I do, then? Should I enter the building with you, too?

What's up with you? If you keep this up, I'll get the wrong idea again.

I'll cling onto you and ask you to walk me to work every day.

And I'll nag you to protect me.

I'll do that.

What?

Cling onto me, ask me to walk you to work,

nag me to protect you.

I'll try.

I'll do it if that makes you feel safe.

Why are you saying all that? I almost believed you.

My gosh, I meant what I said. Can't you believe it?

Is that why you're crying?

I'm crying because I can believe it.

Because I feel safe.

It was something I really wanted to hear.

That's why I'm crying.

Darn it. It's ruined. My makeup got messy.

Hey. You...

You said you would protect me. You won't let me borrow this?

You didn't pull away today.

Do you not like it?

No.

I like it very much.
