Does it end

when that person dies?

That's right.

It's all over once he dies.

Inspector.

Yes?

Well…

If…

If Seo Young-chul wakes up, could you let me know?

Excuse me?

Well, that'd be hard.

There's something I need to tell him.

Please.

Well…

INSPECTOR SEOL HYUN-YONG

Hello?

This is inspector Seol Hyun-yong.

A DIME A JOB

Hey, where are you going?

-Give me the car keys. -Car keys?

Where are you going?

Hey! Where are you going?

Kim Tae-hee!

He just regained consciousness,

but the doctor is saying he doesn't know if he'll fall back into a coma again.

Seo Young-chul guardian.

You just have to wait for about 10 minutes to see him.

-Okay. -Okay.

Jeez. Tae-hee.

What brings you here?

Why are you here?

My older brother is here.

Is your older brother…

Seo Young-chul?

Yes.

What brings you here?

Please tell me.

Tae-hee.

Tae-hee. Hold up.

Don't just leave without saying anything.

Kim Joon-ho.

Do you know who Kim Joon-ho is?

He's the kid your brother had killed.

He's my younger brother.

What do you mean your younger brother?

What are you talking about?

Goodness.

EP 13 OUR WAY OF FACING THE TRUTH

He reminds me of myself.

He has no parents and no friends.

He lived with his grandma for a long time.

Why are you here?

My older brother is here.

Is your older brother…

Seo Young-chul?

Yes.

A DIME A JOB

Hey! Where have you been?

We didn't have any errands today.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Did you and Dong-joo fight?

Jeez. Answer me.

Kim Tae-hee.

Hae-an.

Jeez.

So you're saying,

Seo Young-chul is your older brother?

Yes.

Jeez.

You asked him yourself

why he's wasting energy on useless things, right?

That's all because of your older brother.

When that happened, out of the blue,

our whole family was scattered and devastated.

You saw for yourself, right?

My older sister, brother-in-law, and his whole family…

We couldn't see each other for two years!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I…

I have nothing to say.

I felt so bad for the kid.

I wanted to go to his funeral

and ask for forgiveness.

I really wanted to…

I…

I didn't have the courage.

I'd have to be shameless for me to show up there.

I shouldn't have let him go that day.

Then,

that wouldn't have happened to the kid.

I'm at fault.

What?

On the day of the accident,

you were with Seo Young-chul?

Yes.

Tell me.

Tell me everything in detail…

about what happened from the start.

2020 POLICE OFFICER RECRUITMENT

Here look at this.

Jeez. Stop bragging about it so much. It's not something to brag about.

I'm just happy to see my younger brother become a police officer.

People are rude because of the fact that I do labor work.

Jeez. Why would anyone do that?

If people find out

that I caught a hit-and-run culprit, everyone will be surprised.

Goodness. You did?

It's not a big deal.

At the Iam Intersection,

there was a hit-and-run on a old lady.

And I caught him during my training.

Whoa! Goodness!

The chief wants

to give me an award for it after my training is over.

What should I do with it? Should I just wolf it down with my soup?

We should throw a big party!

-Yes? -This is the Joong-ang Police Academy.

Is this trainee Seo Hae-an?

Yes, this is he.

You've been chosen to represent your class at the graduation ceremony next week.

Excuse me?

-Me? -Please check in the day before

for the rehearsal.

Rehearsal?

You're telling me to come in earlier, right?

Okay, sure.

What's going on?

I…

I think I got valedictorian.

The top student at the academy.

Goodness. You?

They said I could go to the station of my choice if I got valedictorian.

Jeez. I've made it!

It must've been hard for you.

You've done all the work! I'm so proud of you.

Will the President be there?

Will you be in the newspaper?

I'll go there and take 100 pictures of you with the President.

No, I'll take 1,000. 10,000 pictures!

We have to show Mom.

Jeez. Mom would've loved that, right?

We need to celebrate.

Sir!

Can I get bottle each of soju and beer?

And one galbi-jjim, please.

You can't. You drove here.

I can leave it here. I have to stay at your place tonight anyway.

We should be drinking on a day like this.

Here, wear this. Let's drink.

Just for today.

We're only going to have good days now.

Suffering's over!

Shall we drink?

That suits you.

Sir, bring us the drinks first, please.

-Cheers to your bright future! -Cheers!

Goodness.

I feel great.

I broke my 87th day of sobriety.

Take it slow.

I will.

I've been enduring it for a day like this.

I hope you can quit drinking

and get married.

Well…

Are you and Mi-young

talking about marriage yet?

Marriage?

Where are you going?

I'm getting more drinks.

Just bring a bottle.

Jeez. Four is too many.

Let's just drink.

What's wrong?

What's going on?

I have nothing to offer in dating nor marriage.

I don't even have a high school diploma. All I have is a criminal record.

Our alcoholic father passed away in prison.

And when our mother died, I made a mess in our house.

What good would it be to be involved with a guy like me?

It's too late for me.

You should focus on your success.

I will take good care of myself.

-You should-- -Goodness. That's all that matters.

You are always so kind and never complain.

You studied so hard and didn't use money hastily.

Even when we lived in an orphanage,

you never once complained.

How did someone like our father give birth to someone like you?

Maybe there was a mistake?

Jeez. I'm just joking.

Here.

Drink up.

When we went out to eat, he drank seven bottles of soju.

He was really drunk.

I tried hard to control him.

Young-chul!

After I paid and went out,

-his car was gone. -Goodness.

I walked towards where the car had been parked.

I just kept on going.

When I ran into the alley…

he had already…

Seo Young-chul's blood alcohol level was over 0.2.

I'm sorry.

No words can justify his action.

I will apologize

to the kids' parents

and live like a sinner everyday.

Can you give me the guardian's contact information?

Please, I beg you.

I can't do that.

Let me explain.

Since Seo Young-chul is unconscious, indictment is suspended for time being.

Once he passes, the case will be closed.

Right.

Check the surveillance camera.

That's the end of witness investigation. You should go home.

-Okay. -The surveillance camera…

is rotatable 360 degrees.

So there's nothing much.

Look at the kid running.

Even if you kill me a hundred times, a thousand times,

I have nothing to say.

What my brother did

is basically on me.

I'm so sorry.

This is my fault.

What happened to your little brother,

is all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I am to blame.

Everything is my fault.

Everything.

I'm the sinner.

What my brother did

is basically on me.

I'm the sinner.

Please, save me.

Please, save my mom

and me.

FINAL SETTLEMENT LOG FOR FUNERAL HOME DECEASED NAME YOON SEOL-A

DAD

Yes, Dad.

Why aren't you picking up your phone all day?

Are you busy studying?

Yes.

Are you having a hard time?

Not at all.

Dong-joo…

Miss Yoon Seol-a, why do you want to last forever?

Never mind.

-What the… -Jeez. Come home to eat.

I'll cook you soybean paste stew with crab in it.

Okay, I will.

You should go out, walk on some of the fallen leaves.

They smell so nice when they crunch under your feet.

I don't know why good things end so quickly.

I know, right?

EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FUNERAL HOME

Dong-joo!

Why did Tae-hee go to the intensive care unit?

I don't know.

Maybe he went to work.

No, I think he came to see a patient.

What patient?

He killed a man when driving drunk.

After the accident, he was unconscious

for about two years.

But he gained consciousness today.

So, did Tae-hee leave after he saw the patient?

No, he only saw the patient's guardian.

But Tae-hee

stared at the guardian.

They seemed to know each other.

Jeez.

Tae-hee.

Where are you?

What the?

It's Baek Dong-joo.

I missed you.

We see each other everyday.

I missed you slightly more today.

Even if I tell him to stop drinking, he won't listen.

Did something happen today?

Well…

Let's go home. I'll call a taxi.

Not right now.

Let's stay a little bit longer.

Jeez. Do you have a headache again?

Goodness.

Your body and your heart work together.

You worry too much.

I want to be a police officer.

I going to get stronger

and catch all the bad guys.

I'm also going to catch everyone who's mean to you.

Sure.

Come here.

Lie down.

Jeez.

Here.

After you wake up,

your headache will go away and you'll be a police officer.

When Mom

Goes to pick oysters

In the shade of the island

The baby

Is left all alone.

Your son is pitiful, isn't he?

Goodness. I'm working so hard.

If you're watching from above,

please help me.

I heard you went to the ICU.

Did you go to meet him?

There was something I really wanted to tell him.

That's why I went for the first time.

But…

I met Hae-an there.

Hae-an?

Yes, Hae-an.

Tae-hee stared at the guardian. They seemed to know each other.

The guardian's a police officer.

Apparently, he was the guy's younger brother.

We saw each other everyday,

joked around,

and ate together.

Hae-an, who liked me and listened so well,

was the guy's younger brother.

Goodness. Let's lie him down.

I'll open the door.

Goodness.

Careful.

You must be exhausted. Go up and rest.

Okay.

I'm sorry I couldn't even say my goodbye.

Thank you for everything.

I

really like you.

I'm always on your side.

Thank you for the clothes.

Can you hear me?

Can you even see me?

Jeez. Your eyes are wide open.

Young-chul.

Can you…

Can you feel this?

Goodness. Respond in some way.

If you can feel this,

try blinking your eye just once.

The surveillance camera?

Why all of a sudden?

Well…

I want to check something.

I see.

I can show you,

but unfortunately, there wasn't anything in particular.

ACCIDENT SCENE INVESTIGATION REPORT

What the…

Hey, why isn't it here?

What?

There's no video of the Bongsu Market incident.

Some files went missing after a server problem the other day.

I applied for restoration, but it seems that it has not been completed yet.

I see.

Is there a problem?

Well…

It seems difficult

to view the surveillance footage now, what should I do?

Would it be okay if we get back to you when we recover it?

Is that okay?

I apologize.

I see. That's fine.

Okay.

Il-seob?

Il-seob?

Yes.

Yes.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I had a nightmare yesterday and I didn't sleep well.

I see.

Hello?

Goodness. My poor little baby.

PARK SEO-HA DATE OF DEATH 10/19/2022

What should I do? I feel so bad for my baby.

It's too cold.

I want to stay with my baby for just a little bit longer.

Just one minute.

Even just one second.

What can I do to stay with my baby?

Will there

be a tiny mortuary?

Dad.

Did you make

her bring Seo-ha here?

How dare you bring Seo-ha here.

Dad.

This happened to Seo-ha because of you.

It all happened because you've got bad luck on your hands!

After all,

you approached us to open up this business, aren't I right?

That's why you didn't listen to me when I told you not to come near us again!

For you, dead people

seem like money, right? You bastard!

Chief mourner, please calm down.

For who, huh?

I'm not the chief mourner!

Dad, stop it!

Where's Seo-ha?

Bring me my child!

-Dad… -I said, where is she?

Bring me back my child!

Bring me back my child!

Love your enemy?

Did God love His enemy too?

What's wrong?

No, I mean…

Hate the sin

and not the sinner… Isn't there a saying like that?

But he's not even the one who sinned.

Well, in a broader sense,

there are people who should be seen as enemies.

That's what I'm saying.

At times, I have a grudge against him,

then, at other times, I feel sorry for him.

Jeez. Father, I don't know what to do.

Do you remember Proverbs 25:21?

"If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat."

"If he is thirsty, give him water to drink."

I fed him food and even beer.

"In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head"

"the Lord will

reward you for those deeds."

Bur… burning coals?

I asked if I should love my enemy.

What do you mean burning coals?

Embrace your enemies with a welcoming heart

is what I'm saying.

Do it until you realize it yourself and repent.

Let go of the hatred that torments oneself,

and earn peace on one's mind. God has always emphasized this.

You said to let go of hatred

and then to put burning coals on his head.

Isn't that too contradictory?

-Brother. -Yes.

Well, I think this will become a long conversation.

Why don't we first light some coals and then talk?

Let's go.

What? Well… Father!

Jeez.

I drove here.

Thank you.

Why did you

come back that other time?

Excuse me?

The time when you quit.

I thought you'd never return.

Right.

I felt uneasy.

It was your first coffining, and I assigned you such a young child.

So I wondered if that was the reason you left.

Did you ever regret coming back?

I can't say no.

How about you?

Did you ever regret doing this job?

Of course, there are many times.

I thought maybe I should've just gotten an office job like everyone else.

Then, why do you keep doing it?

Well…

After coffining,

the deceased seemed to be saying thank you to me.

Every time.

I'm there at the end of their lives.

Helping with closure in their lives

is my job.

That's what I thought.

But it's still too hard to finish a short life

that hasn't had a chance to bloom.

So I understand why he's behaving like that.

The knot I make is the end for the deceased.

But for the remaining people,

it's the beginning of their suffering.

I bought two glasses of persimmon juice.

One for Il-seob and one for you.

I'll leave after I bring them to you.

Not right now. I'm serious.

Why?

Hyun-joo.

How terrifying would it be?

How cold would it be?

All alone in that dark place.

I bought the padded jacket.

Let's put it on.

Can you go inside?

Let's go in.

You can't be here.

I'll leave.

Hey, So-ra!

Seo Hae-an.

Check how the request for CCTV video restoration went.

-Yes, sir. -Goodness.

Why would this happen when I'm training someone new.

Why? Did we lose an important file?

There was an incident at Bongsu Market two years ago.

The guardian came to see the surveillance footage, but it was missing, totally gone.

Jeez. It was frustrating.

But why does he want two-year old footage, now all of a sudden?

I don't know.

Anyway, someone who claims to be his older brother came,

but I couldn't show it.

Dong-joo.

Did you hear that I left the house?

Jeez.

I'm sorry that I couldn't say my goodbye.

No, you don't have to apologize to me.

Did you find a new home?

No, not yet.

Are Tae-hee and Vincent doing well?

Never mind. Of course, they wouldn't be okay.

Everything is my fault.

I'm the sinner.

I'm sorry for keeping such a busy person. You should get going. I have to go too.

-Go safely. -Okay.

Hey…

Do you

know why Tae-hee

came to the hospital…

that day?

Excuse me?

I mean… Never mind.

I'm so out of it right now.

I keep saying nonsense.

I should leave. You should go too.

Jeez. There must've been an accident.

Why aren't they more careful in the kids' zone.

I think it's a big accident.

They need to be careful.

Goodness. How scary.

Ma'am, you didn't turn on your signal!

-Stop lying! -Listen to me.

Direct signals take precedence.

Your older brother…

If there was a way for him to live, I wanted him to live for a very long time.

I didn't think there would be a bigger pain than that.

I wished for him to suffer for a long time.

I will never forgive.

Even when I think over it for the 100th or 1,000th times,

I can't forigve.

Everything you say is right.

I lived my life thinking that I had no such thing as an older brother.

When someone asks,

I'd think

that I had no parents,

no siblings, and that I was just left alone in this world.

I was greedy.

In a ridiculous life like mine,

I met you who were like a family.

I was just happy.

It was all a dream.

I was so into the dream,

I forgot about my life.

Now,

I'll never go near you.

I'll just hide

like a shadow.

Did you hear…

what Joon-ho said that day?

Excuse me?

Did Joon-ho say anything to you?

Sir.

Please save me.

That day,

if only I had arrived earlier,

I would've heard something.

I'm sorry I can't even help with this.

Why…

is Joon-ho your younger brother…

And why

is Seo Young-chul

my older brother?

If it wasn't for that,

it would've been better

for you and me.

It would've been so much better.

I'll get going.

Hae-an.

You told him to come back?

-Hey, you fool! -Yes?

What's with your outfit!

You work for the government! You should have more dignity.

Hurry and go wash up.

Okay.

-Wash thoroughly! -Yes, sir.

Good.

You're okay, right?

STOP BY

You did good.

You think so?

Actually, it's what I'm supposed to do.

I think Vincent and I were too mean to him.

What?

How so?

You weren't at all.

Don't think that way.

I mean,

you're not God nor Buddha.

It's a natural feeling to have if you're human.

So

don't think you've behaved badly.

Not at all.

You don't have to feel sorry for Hae-an either.

It's not Hae-an's fault.

Jeez.

He was crying saying that he was sorry.

Right!

It could be that he's just someone who cries a lot.

Remember last time?

After he got rejected by me,

he was crying.

That's right.

He's just someone who cries a lot.

So you don't need to feel guilty, okay?

Okay?

Why are you laughing?

How did I meet someone like you?

I know, right? How'd you meet a girl like me?

You're charming.

When I'm talking with you,

I feel like I can breathe.

Thank you…

for helping me move on.

Cheers.

DELIVER USED DRAWER

Why?

Hello.

Hello.

I'm here to ask you for a favor.

Yes?

You're not a big mouth, right?

Could you keep this a secret from Dong-joo?

Could you do that for me?

What's this about?

Go ahead first.

Seo-ha…

BORAM FUNERAL SERVICES

Il-seob.

Thank you so much.

I won't forget.

Sure.

Excuse me…

Here.

Il-seob prepared this for you.

Seo-ha

will always be by your side.

Seo-ha is a jewel.

The jewel and Seo-ha

are so good together.

Thank you

for safely sending Seo-ha.

Il-seob.

KIM TAE-HEE

Hello?

Hi.

You didn't tell Dong-joo, right?

No. What brings you here?

Well…

Yoo So-ra asked me to deliver this.

EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

BP is dropping.

-Give me protoporphyrin. -Yes, sir.

Contact the guardian and ask what he's going to do.

Last time, he wrote a memorandum to give up life-sustaining treatment,

-Shall I still contact him? -Yes.

He might want to see his last moments.

The patient's in arrest.

October 22nd.

4:01 p.m.

Seo Young-chul has passed.

Stop the treatment.

Yoo So-ra, get to your senses.

Call the police. They will have procedures to move him to the funeral home.

-Go ahead. -Yes, ma'am.

Yes, Tae-hee.

My older brother

has passed.

They said he has passed.

What do I do?

Jeez.

Hey, the new errand request…

What's wrong?

What happened?

He passed.

Who?

Seo Young-chul.

DONG-JOO

Yes, Dong-joo.

SEO YOUNG-CHUL CHIEF MOURNER : SEO HAE-AN

SEO YOUNG-CHUL CHIEF MOURNER : SEO HAE-AN

Dong-joo.

Yes, Tae-hee.

Well…

The coffining…

Are you doing…

Right.

Yes.

Well…

I mean…

Tae-hee.

But this time,

I don't think I'd be able to meet him.

There's something I didn't tell you.

I can't meet anyone

who has killed someone

or committed suicide.

I'm sorry.

COFFIN ROOM (WATCHING ROOM)

How was

Joon-ho?

He would've been scared all by himself.

He would've been in a lot of pain.

Who are you?

Where am I?

Seo Young-chul.

How do you know my name?

Where am I?

You've had it so tough.

Rest in peace.

In peace…

Seo Young-chul…

you have passed away.

I…

am dead?

My life is so unfair.

Do you have any cigarettes?

I can't even smoke a cigarette before I go.

It would've been nice if I had a shot of soju.

Jeez. I couldn't even say goodbye to my younger brother.

I couldn't even see Mi-young.

I wonder if she got married.

Do you remember the accident you caused two years ago?

Is the kid alive?

No.

I feel so bad for that kid.

But I can't do anything. I'm dead too.

You didn't kill him.

Who killed him?

That kid.

A DIME A JOB

There's no chance to make it right again.

Tell the truth.

I don't know what you want to hear from me.

It was me who hit him! Me!

What did Seo Young-chul say?

That he will apologize a hundred times, a thousand times.

Tae-hee, let's forget about it.

If you start hiding even a trivial thing for no reason,

it's hard to see the other person.

I don't think Seo Young-chul is the culprit.
