The bathroom is over there.

Hey, Park Ji Eun. You said there's no one home.

- What are those sneakers? - They're my brother's.

You can just ignore him.

Did you have a brother?

- Yeah. - I bet he's really ugly.

Who are you?

She'll just use the bathroom and leave. Don't tell Mom, Park Jin Hong.

Did you drink?

I won't tell Mother.

Don't just bring anyone home.

How about you? Do you even have friends to bring? You petty jerk.

You're a high school student. Why would you drink?

I'm sorry, Oppa.

I'll come when I'm sober next time.

Well, I'm not telling you to come back-

He's so serious all the time.

He's so annoying.

Hey, let's go.

Hey, don't party too much and come home early.

You, too. Don't be out too late.

It's dangerous.

Yes, I won't.

See you, Oppa.

Hey, Park Ji Eun.

Can I come back tomorrow?

What are you saying? There's nothing fun here.

Why? I think it's really fun.

Who are you?

Who...

Long time no see, Park Ji Eun.

Hold on.

Is it you, Kim Eun Mi?

What are you doing here?

How dare you hang out when no one's home?

Oppa gave me the passcode.

What?

You little. What do you have against my family?

Let go of me. Let go while I'm being nice.

You degenerate loser. How could you ruin my family like this?

Shit.

You never had a fight with me without your minions, huh?

Should we give it a go today?

While we trash your brother's house?

Let go, you bitch.

Let go while I'm being nice, you bitch!

- Come on in, you dumbass! - Come on in, you dumbass!

You're out of your mind, aren't you?

You have no thoughts, do you?

You can't do this in your right mind after you destroy a family.

Ji Eun, we decided carefully, too.

Whatever. I can't approve. Never.

Give me a break.

So what if you don't approve?

Oppa and I have already built the Great Wall of China

and crossed the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean together.*

What? You really have no shame.

Why did you change so much?

You must've struggled a lot.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Try giving birth. See if this doesn't happen to you.

Looks like you don't even have a child.

Did you give birth, too?

- How old? - He's in the 9th grade. Why ask?

So the picture of the boy in that room was-

Yes, it's of my nephew. Ji Eun's son.

Is that so?

Hey, that's good to hear. My daughter is 29.

Looks like you didn't know.

By chance, when you were in high school-

Wow.

You two are really out of your minds.

My goodness, seriously...

Are you leaving already?

Come early tomorrow so we can talk.

Early? Where?

I said we're making wintertime kimchi at my place tomorrow.

Yeah, right.

You're really out of it, aren't you?

Are you okay?

You said you cut ties with your family.

I guess you didn't with Ji Eun.

She helped me out a lot.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't tell you because I know you two don't get along.

I'll go home. Give me a ride.

Hey!

Why are you out?

Hey, you came.

Hello.

Hello...

Oppa, good luck tomorrow.

Rest up, and see you the day after.

Okay, I'll call you.

Let's go in.

Mom, go inside first.

I need to talk to Ahjussi a bit.

About what?

You don't have to know. Go in.

What was it?

Huh?

What was it about? Huh?

I was just asking for his phone number.

You got his number?

Yeah.

Please don't tell Mom.

The person who got arrested may not be the real culprit, apparently.

If he's not the real culprit,

you mean you haven't caught the culprit yet?

So I'd like to ask you to take care of Mom one more time.

Of course. Of course, I will. You didn't have to ask me that.

But is it okay not to tell her-

If we say the real culprit is out there,

she won't just sit still and do nothing.

You're right. She'd definitely be like that.

I'm not supposed to reveal this information, either.

So make sure to keep it a secret.

Okay, I promise.

I'll keep it a secret and stay by her side, too.

You make sure to stay by his side, okay?

Never, ever be apart from him.

Anywhere. Anytime. Never ending. Never die.

Never, ever. Make sure to stay by his side, okay?

What's with you now?

Hey.

I have free time tomorrow. Let's go shopping.

What if Ahjussi comes tomorrow?

- He won't. - So what will you do if he does?

He can't.

He came.

I called her and told her I couldn't come.

I'm sure she flipped out, knowing her personality.

You're more important to me. What am I supposed to do?

- Don't you feel uncomfortable? - About what?

My relationship with Ji Eun.

It puts you in a difficult position.

There's nothing else that matters to me more than you anymore.

So I don't want you to worry about me or the issues caused because of me.

Are you still worried?

Even after I said all this?

Okay.

As long as you're not struggling. I won't worry anymore.

I'll only count on you.

Tell me.

Why did the chief constable interview the murder suspect?

And why did the team leader book the interview?

Won't you say something?

I heard the suspect changed his statement.

I came to confirm that.

Why would you confirm that?

It's the lawyer's job to prove it.

But can't you check just this once?

I think the man in the CCTV footage has a different height.

I understand you're doing this because this case concerns your mother.

But that suspect was sued by the late Lee Na Kyung twice.

One was for sexual assault, and the other was for stalking.

And she died while she was under special protection because of stalking.

No matter how you candy-coat it,

he's the prime suspect and the target for prosecution.

And he even stalked and assaulted your mother, who rescued Lee Na Kyung.

He even confessed, too.

Why are you keeping your mouth shut?

What? Is your junior right about everything

and we're supposed to believe what she says again?

Please check the voice recording.

There must be a recording of his conversation during the visit.

You want us to just listen to the recording?

You have nothing to talk about with us?

Sir.

Why are you doing this, Chief Constable Eun?

Do you want to do this again?

Having you come in about stuff like this again?

Sunbaenim, let's drop it now.

What did the suspect say?

Can't you tell me, too?

He said he met the real culprit.

After the victim died, he went to the park where she was murdered every night.

It was definitely Na Kyung's. It was her favorite lip balm.

Those initials.

But why did he have Na Kyung's? I found it so strange.

So I followed him.

But without a trace...

He's the culprit. He killed Na Kyung

and took her lip balm, too.

Did you notice anything other than his face?

His ears.

I looked it up because I didn't know what it was at first.

He was...

wearing a hearing aid.

Hearing aid?

It's likely it's someone who is hearing-impaired.

I would think so.

Why did he confess, then?

At first,

I denied it.

But as I kept talking,

it made sense that she died because of me.

It's true that I met her before she died,

and it's true that we had a scuffle,
