Do you recognize him?

This man is the person who killed your mom and dad.

Got it?

The person who killed your mom and dad.

He killed your mom and dad.

Killed your mom... Killed your mom...

I can't remember who it is.

I don't know.

Yes, Investigator Bang.

Yes, he's still the same. The doctor says that, too.

Yes, yes.

Yes. I understand. Yes.

Jeong Hyeon Soo...

Do you know me?

Investigator Bang

Yes, Investigator Bang.

I think Jeong Hyeon Soo just woke up.

Wh-what did you say? Okay, I'll be right there.

Yes, I understand.

I'll be right over.

Exploration

Episode 33

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Prosecutor Cha and the police just took Jeong Hyeon Soo

saying they have to do a few exams.

Oh. I actually ran into him on my way in.

How did he seem?

He seemed a bit strange in my eyes.

Jeong Hyeon Soo.

Do you know me?

I came because I thought you'd be waiting endlessly like this.

The exam will take a while, and even if it ends early, you two won't get to see Jeong Hyeon Soo.

Well, I figured as much. Let me know as soon as he's able to have visitors.

Yeah, I will.

- Let's go, Attorney Eun. - Yes.

I will go this way then.

I'll drop you off.

No, it's okay. There are lots of buses.

Then...

It's this man.

This man is the culprit...

Eun Bong Hee.

Do you know which bus you need to take?

Yes, I do. Since I know the bus routes by heart.

Okay, then.

What is there to be so serious about?

What's the big deal about a murderer waking up?

That's right, don't worry.

I'll catch him and lock him up no matter what.

He's already caught, Investigator Bang.

Huh?

If he's fine, he'll soon be arrested, and Prosecutor Cha will take care of everything well.

Right.

Hey. But what are you doing here?

He said that he must see Attorney No. He must.

Really?

Hey, kid. Hey! An adult is asking.

Are you deaf?

Ahjusshi!

Huh? He can hear perfectly fine.

Hey, punk! That little...

Oh my god.

Hey! My heart nearly dropped!

Mine already dropped, so I don't have a heart.

What is she saying? Are you a zombie?

Hey, Prosecutor Na.

Is something like amnesia easy? Can one get it easily?

How should I know that?

Did you make stew?

Yes.

What a surprise.

Hey, what is this? What did you put in this?

What exactly do you have to put in it to make this impossible taste?

You're just so useless.

Why, why?

I couldn't put much. This is for rent.

Seriously? If you have a conscience, put some more.

Na Ji Hae, today I—

What? You feel sad? You feel sad again?

Are you the only one who is sad? I'm sad too.

I'm real, though.

Can you recognize him?

This man is the person who killed your dad and mom. Got it?

Prosecutor Application

You still haven't gone?

You... Are you trying to be a prosecutor again?

This... Why do you just look through other people's stuff like that?

I just happened to see it. Don't get too upset at me.

As expected, being a lawyer really doesn't suit you?

It's just that people like Jeong Hyeon Soo are right in front of my eyes,

but there is absolutely nothing I can do.

Jeong Hyeon Soo is a guy whom I set free into the world.

I really wanted to put him in jail no matter what,

but there was really nothing I could do.

I guess I prefer governmental authority after all.

I didn't like you being a prosecutor.

Why?

You were always sleep deprived, worked even at night, and dealt with those dangerous criminals.

Basically, you only did difficult work for the entire day.

If it kept up, I was

afraid that you'd end up like your father. I didn't like that.

But even so, if you like it, then you have to do it.

I'm not sure.

Would the Chief Prosecutor just stand by and watch me get accepted?

I guess we'll just have to see.

I want to know about my parents' fire incident in greater detail.

That way, I can confidently go up to him and set things straight.

Why he would do such a thing.

Let's look for someone who was a fireman at that time or whoever did the fire investigation.

I'm always in many ways—

You're grateful and stuff, right?

Ah, seriously.

Well, just... s-s-slightly.

Slightly. Slightly.

A lot, a lot, a lot. Okay?

Let's cheer up.

Are you going to go to Jeong Hyeon Soo?

Yes.

Prosecutor Cha.

Oh, you're here.

Yes. How is Jeng Hyeon Soo?

From the results of the MRI and brainwave test, they didn't find an organic lesion.

That means that there was no physical brain damage.

So, wait. Then how do we explain that?

He really seemed like he didn't recognize me.

This leaves us with two possibilities.

He's really suffering from amnesia,

or he's lying.

Pretending like he doesn't remember immediately, pretending like he doesn't recognize me...

It means that he's acting right now.

If that's the case, what would be the reason to do so?

Well, he could be trying to claim physical incompetence or memory loss of some kind.

Yes, that's a possibility.

Anyway, that's what the doctors are saying.

There was cerebral hemorrhage but no physical damage.

Also, amnesia could be a temporary symptom, so let's just keep an eye on him for a bit longer.

And if it's a dissociative amnesia, it could be due to a trauma or mental guilt.

Jeong Hyeon Soo is not the type of person to feel guilt.

True. I agree with you 100%.

I'm going to use the connection I have with a prosecutor. Let me talk to Jeong Hyeon Soo, Prosecutor Cha.

I need to meet Jeong Hyeon Soo in person.

Only for five minutes.

Oh.

When I was being taken away for exams, you're the person who knew me, right?

Do you remember me?

Yes, we met for a moment out in the hallway yesterday.

As expected, your memory is excellent.

I guess my memory must've been kind of good.

- Yes. Very good. - Very good?

Ah... I see.

But I can't remember anything right now.

By any chance, do you know anything about the things I did?

If you know, please tell me. Please.

Um, I'm not sure. This is a bit difficult.

I don't really know if I have the answer you want...

It's happening again.

Ah, seriously.

Absolute Rest

I'm sorry.

There's no one who will tell me anything. I felt a little frustrated...

People keep coming up to me and asking me from when to when do I remember, but

I wouldn't have amnesia if I remembered that, right?

It's true. Right?

Is telling me that so difficult?

I opened my eyes. But I couldn't remember anything—not a single thing.

But the police were scattered everywhere and didn't allow me even to move.

Then a random female prosecutor comes and leaves after saying only what she has to say,

without even answering any of the questions I had. I think I'm going to go crazy, really.

Do you know what I did? Perhaps?

First-firstly, who am I?

And who are you, you who are standing there right now?

Even if you've lost your memory, you're definitely still Jeong Hyeon Soo.

What does that mean?

Um, well, first, the person who is standing here—me—

was your lawyer.

If you were my lawyer...

If you were my lawyer, then that must mean that you were on my side.

Thank god there was someone on my side. Still.

Well.

But why aren't you telling me?

You said you were on my side. But why aren't you telling me?

You can tell me who I was and what I did.

It's not that hard. Can't you just tell me?

- Because. - What?

Jeong Hyeon Soo—

Five minutes past, Attorney No.

You're harsh.

I had a good time, Jeong Hyeon Soo.

I still have things to say.

How was it? Do you think it's real, or do you think it's all an act?

I'm not sure. I still can't put my finger on it,

but it's half-half.

But one thing I know for sure is that even if Jeong Hyeon Soo has lost his memory, his personality is the same.

Ah, seriously...

I'm sorry.

Hey, you, Kim Ji Wook. Hey, come here.

You're running away?

Hey, hey. I caught you.

You're on the same level as him.

N-no, I'm not.

You have to go straight to Aunt's house after school and after taekwondo.

Why do you run here every day?

I get scared when I'm at Aunt's house.

That policeman who's the culprit can't come out of prison now, so you don't have to worry.

I keep having nightmares

like Ji Wook Ahjussi.

It's okay. What's so bad about visiting every once in awhile?

Hey, Lack of Evidence! You should be the one coming back to work instead of just playing around.

You shouldn't be taking a vacation that lasts thousands and thousands of years.

That's what I'm saying.

That kid is such low maintenance that he reminds me of Ji Wook when he was that age.

Is that right?

Yes, he does. He is a kid so naturally he should drop things on the floor and do wrong things,

but he does things on his own without being told to. He should be acting like a kid since he is one,

but he seems so much older than us grown ups.

You are the one who's old, Gramps, not me.

Damn punk, he is arrogant just like him.

Ahjussi.

It's too hot to be sticking to me.

Hey Jae Woong, let's go. I will take you home.

Hold on a minute. Can we talk for a bit?

You should wrap it up with your vacation time.

I will give you more vacation time for personal matters though. I have a lot of things to think through anyway.

Let's give each other more time. However...

It's time for you to end your vacation time from work.

It will be harder for you to come back if you drag it out longer.

Okay, I will think about it.

Okay. You can think as much as you want later. First, let's go to the meeting.

R-right now?

Why? You want to do it later? We have piles of work to do. Hurry up and come.

Ah... okay.

Since the real estate went down in value for compensation for damages I requested an appraisal.

But just like always, it's not that easy to come up with an estimate for the compensation for damages.

That's right. It's hard to decide on the right estimate for compensation for losses.

Yes, so I was going to for now —

Is it true that Jeong Hyeon Soo has dementia?

I knew it was too good to be true to have an actual meeting.

Tell me, kid! Is that true?

It's not dementia but a loss of memory.

That's the same thing.

- They are not the same thing. - No, they clearly are not.

He is just messing with you.

You're right. He might be acting like a feeble-minded person so he can squeeze his way out of the hole. But...

- But what? - It's just that his acting seems too real for it to be just acting.

- You are so naive to fall for it again. - But I haven't fallen for it yet.

If a person like you happens to be the judge, then you would make a feeble-minded person innocent.

Clank. Clank. You probably would let a guy like Jeong Hyeon Soo go scot-free.

- That's why I'm not a judge. - You probably couldn't make it anyway.

Your grade as a trainee wasn't all that hot, you know.

You even dug through how I did as a trainee too?

- It says it all on your application. - Ah.

But you didn't have to read through it so precisely and remember it.

- You! Go back to taking your vacation! - Damn that stupid vacation!

This is so messed up! I can't continue the meeting for goodness sake!

Damn punk, you're scaring me.

Ah, I'm so sorry.

Why should you be the one sorry, Lawyer Eun?

You're the one that always messes everything up, Mr. Byeon.

- Just like always. - You kids always blame me, right?

Yes, we do.

Listen carefully. I think it was back in 1985.

There was an incident that was similar to the Jeong Hyeon Soo memory loss case.

I'm going to go get myself some coffee.

Put your hands down!

We need to issue a warrant, sir. The evidence is also verified.

You told me that you didn't get a reply regarding whether his condition is just his wit or his actual memory.

- It'll come back, sir. - Are you sure about this?

The public opinion is negative about this, okay?!

If you uselessly go so far as to arrest him and it all goes wrong, then who is going to be held accountable, huh?

- I will take responsibility— - Just be patient and wait. Got it?

Be on your guard and be aware of the situations around you. That's what you do around here.

Do you understand? You have no idea about anything, for goodness sake.

What are you doing? My arm's about to fall off.

What is that? Oh, you're doing some research on medical science for the case related to Jeong Hyeon Soo, right?

Yep. I'm studying up some medical science stuff which I'm not really equipped to do.

You working hard is cool and all but you should eat properly too.

Well, I really don't have anyone to eat with anyway. I feel more comfortable eating alone.

Could it be that you became an outcast from the group due to that appeals trial incident from last time?

You are so not interested in me.

It's not really because of that. I was always an outcast from the get-go.

Apart from going out to eat with Prosecutor Na from time to time, I practically ate by myself.

Is that so?

Hey.

It's either you eat or work, just pick one, alright?

I can read this and summarize it for you.

- Please do it meticulously. - Your wish is my command.

That research article is over 100 pages though.

Hey.

Please help me out, friend.

Have something to drink too, or else you'll get a tummy ache.

It's late now so you should continue tomorrow.

Ah, let me just wrap this up real quick.

You don't have to overdo it since this is your first day back from your vacation.

You can get sick if you do too much.

Yes, sir.

I will take you home.

Ah, I'm fine.

I understand that you don't need it but I have somewhere to go as well.
