Jae Chan probably arrived there by now.

Excuse me.

Where?

He went to Hakcheon.

Why did he go to Hakcheon?

To turn himself in.

E-Excuse me.

Who are you?

I'm here to turn myself in. Choi Eom Ji...

I killed her.

I'm sorry.

I was actually hiding him.

When did you find out?

Do Ha, Jae Chan is turning himself in

because I persuaded him.

I thought you might get framed again.

That's why I persuaded him.

Why didn't you do anything all this time?

You watched me from the sideline as I hid and got framed as a murderer.

And you say you persuaded him now?

Jae Chan asked me last time.

He asked me who I'd save if you and he drowned.

I...

didn't answer then, but...

I'd save you.

I'd save you without hesitating even for a second.

I thought about this a lot before deciding.

But he's still my brother.

I'm sorry...

I let him hide.

I'll get going now.

Listen up.

You know the Hakcheon Beach murder, right?

The self-proclaimed culprit of the case turned himself in.

But Hakcheon Police Station can't investigate him because they're under investigation due to corruption.

He will be transferred to our station since he resides in this area.

Get ready for it.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Yes, got it.

Here he is. Here he is.

Did you really kill her?

Why did you turn yourself in?

Did you hold a grudge against the victim?

Did you do it on your own?

Since going missing at Hakcheon Beach five years ago,

a woman in her 20s' remains were found on a hill nearby.

The suspect who presumably murdered her turned himself into the police today.

Around 1:30 p.m. today, Jo, a man in his 20s, came to the police himself

and said he's the culprit of the Hakcheon Beach murder.

Jo submitted the ring she wore the day she went missing as evidence.

Was it you?

I asked you. Was it you?

Jo said he felt pressured to turn himself in since his ring was found at the crime scene.

Jo apparently was friends with Kim,

who was a prime suspect in the case.

He was later found out to be the brother of the CEO of a well-known entertainment company

and the head of a department there, shocking everyone.

The police started reinvestigating the case based on his testimonies.

Whether the real culprit of the Hakcheon Beach murder, which has been unsolved for the last five years,

will be determined remains to be seen, garnering everyone's attention.

Could you help me?

It's strange.

The culprit was caught, but I don't feel good at all.

The fact that Eom Ji was murdered,

and the fact that the culprit is someone I know well. It's all too strange.

Earlier today, I even wondered,

"Am I no longer responsible for her death?"

She was killed so brutally.

When will you be happy?

You struggled because you blamed yourself before.

But now, you're struggling even after the real culprit got caught.

When will you be happy, then?

Suffer just until today.

Let's go get something tasty with me tomorrow.

- Congratulations! - You scared me.

What? Why are you congratulating me?

Have a look at this.

["I killed her because I liked her too much." A man in his 20s turned himself in for the Hakcheon Beach murder.]

I said he's not like that.

I knew Do Ha couldn't kill a single ant.

You did?

When?

Right, Ms. Hunter.

Thirty-five VIP cases were awaiting you while you were gone.

I think you should prepare to consult them first.

Oh, I see.

You're open again.

Hello.

I heard the good news.

Congratulations.

- Thank you. - So I was thinking,

why don't you throw a party with your boyfriend if you're free this evening?

We should drink to celebrate together.

Ms. Hunter. Thirty-five VIP cases.

Sounds good. We will.

Okay. I'll see you later, then.

Okay.

This is more important right now.

You...

changed a lot.

You're like a girl in love.

What's going on, anyway?

The culprit was someone else.

I know.

I've been trying to tell you

that my son isn't the culprit.

What?

My son is innocent. I don't know why I need to be punished.

You're the one who did this, thinking he was the culprit when he was innocent.

You still bribed a police officer even though the real culprit was caught.

Come to your senses.

Excuse me, someone is here to see you.

Why did you confuse me?

Why did you say you killed her at first?

Why was clothing with her blood found in your room?

You should've made it clear that you didn't do it.

The ring Detective Gwak hid belonged to the culprit,

but it doesn't count as evidence because he hid it.

I told you that I threw the ring in the ocean.

Don't you remember?

You don't listen to me nor trust me.

This isn't about trust.

The circumstances told me that you killed her then.

I didn't want to be a pathetic mother who blindly defends her child, either.

Why is that pathetic?

Someone who defends me, no matter what.

I needed that since I was a child.

Excuse me, Mr. Jo.

Rumors say the culprit of the Hakcheon Murder is your brother.

Is that true?

Don't you feel guilty toward Composer Kim, who was framed because of your brother?

Don't you?

Mr. Jo!

Our public image is very bad right now.

Hey Entertainment put their business proposal on hold.

And people are canceling the idol trainee auditions, too.

The rumor that you framed Composer Kim for your brother's murder keeps growing.

It's because they don't know what kind of relationship we have.

They couldn't say that if they knew.

And whether he's my brother or not, he should be punished if he committed a crime.

I'm not interested in getting involved in that.

No matter how much noise is out there, we need to unite.

If we keep working hard as we always have,

they'll get tired of blabbering their mouths, too.

I'll contact Hey Entertainment. Don't worry.

Mr. Jo.

If you prove that you still get along with Composer Kim,

our situation might get resolved quickly.

Okay, got it.

Thank you.

That's my family matter. It doesn't have to do with my business.

We exchanged contracts multiple times.

We even met your conditions, too.

You can't suddenly do this now.

Syaon will continue to work with J Entertainment, right?

Yes, of course. She represents our company.

I understand we're following the schedule. I'll hang up, then.

Do I represent your company?

I'm glad you came.

When will you come back?

I hope you hurry up a bit.

You're so scary, Oppa.

I knew you were a businessman through and through,

but how could you only think about money in a situation like this?

I won't work with you.

I can't because I'm too creeped out.

Ji On.

If I really only cared about money,

how could I have supported you when

you were debuting as a nobody?

I got you the best stylist and choreographer.

Because you joined my company when I had nothing, too.

Not to mention Do Ha back then.

He used to cover his face and refused to see anyone,

but I'm the one who made him sit in front of the piano.

You know, too.

I do.

I do, but you only care about the company right now.

Focusing on just you and Do Ha may seem like I only care about the company.

You, me, and Do Ha created this company together.

I need to save it.

Would you be okay if we go out of business?

No, of course, I won't be okay.

Even if you switch companies,

leave when things improve here.

If you leave right away since we're struggling,

people might congratulate you, but they'd secretly criticize you.

But did you really not know?

That your brother was the culprit?

I found out too late.

Really?

I told Do Ha, too.

I apologized to him, too.

You can't just apologize once.

Keep at it until he gets sick of it.

Kneel down, rub your palms together,

call him, text him, and keep doing it.

If Do Ha accepts your apology,
