Secret Mother (시크릿 마더)

I don't know if it would provide a lead,

but that day,

I surely picked it up...

where your daughter was found,

so I hope you find her.

I know I don't deserve to say this.

I'm sorry.

You...

Darn it.

Follow him.

Ms. Kim Eun Young?

Min Ji, no!

Detective Ha.

Do you know the man who was here just now?

He's the witness, right?

I knew it. I knew it'd be that punk.

Did you know?

I was passing by that accident site last year...

because of Kang Hyun Chul.

I got a report on car theft...

and was chasing him.

So you thought he was a witness too.

He...

must've witnessed...

someone then.

He's on the wanted list,

so it'll be hard to get his testimony until we arrest him.

Did you get any evidence from him?

What happened? Did you catch him? - He disappeared from my sight.

The patrol car at Yeongdong Bridge started tracing him.

They're moving toward our direction.

Okay, keep reporting to me.

I'll go now.

Will you be okay driving?

Mom.

I'm okay.

Where have you been?

We were so worried about you.

Honey, I have something to tell you.

Joo Hee, take Min Joon to his room.

Mom.

If not today, I won't have time to talk

Do you still think that the patient...

whom you treated that day...

kidnapped Min Ji?

Tell me honestly.

Yoon Jin,

what on earth did you do to her that day...

that you still suspect her?

Mother, I'm sorry.

I'll explain later.

Do you know what the people at the hospital talk about?

You haven't shown your face at the hospital for a year.

They think it's because you've gone insane after losing your child.

She was killed by a hit-and-run,

so why should you listen to such stuff?

Mother, let's talk later.

What is this?

This proves that the woman who kidnapped...

our daughter...

was that patient.

It's certain that she kidnapped her.

I need to find Kim Eun Young.

Where did you get this?

I got it from a witness.

I couldn't tell you this,

but I got a call...

and met him once before.

He only told me that the hit-and-run driver was a woman,

but this time,

he gave me this evidence.

Who is this man?

Do you have his contact number?

He called me through public phones.

He's on the wanted list.

I heard this from Detective Ha.

Detective Ha? Ha Jeong Wan?

Were you with Lieutenant Ha?

Things happened that way.

Detective Ha has been chasing the witness.

We need to check his identity first.

I'll go to the police station...

and talk to Lieutenant Ha.

We need to check if this is really that patient's heel.

I should go through the hospital video footages or something.

Don't worry too much.

Ms. Kim Eun Young.

Is this...

you?

Can you show me your ID?

And who are you?

I'm a homicide detective from Gangnam Police Station.

Hey.

What's going on? Does he want to have some fun?

I'm not sure.

There's no need to put on a straight face.

Hey, make sure you don't hit on policemen.

Did you get in trouble while looking for Hyeon Joo?

Why is a cop after you?

By any chance, was this Hyeon Joo's...

Hey, that's...

It's the heel with a stud. Hyeon Joo loved them.

But why is it so dirty?

Are you saying this used to belong to Hyeon Joo?

Where did you find it? Why is it so dirty?

It was buried...

at someone's villa.

No way. I'm sure a lot of other people have the same shoes.

It's not like her name's written on it.

I also hope...

my hunch...

is wrong.

Lieutenant Ha.

I heard the witness is a wanted criminal.

Do you know where he might be?

I asked the nearby patrol team to chase after him.

But they lost him.

Did you chase him,

knowing that he was the witness of my daughter's accident?

He was near the site of the accident while he was on the run.

So I was open to all possibilities.

Well, at least we can keep looking for him now that we know.

I heard you were with my wife at the scene.

I called her to ask her some questions about Kim Eun Young.

But then she mentioned a witness.

From now on, please tell me right away if anything like this happens.

What did Kang Hyun Chul give to your wife as evidence?

It seemed like she got something from him when they met.

It was something he found at the scene of the accident.

But we need to gather more testimonies.

We need a testifier to at least compare the evidence.

I'll summon a testifier as soon as I find Kim Eun Young.

Do you not know where she is yet?

I don't think it'll take long.

Send me the documents regarding the witness right now.

Stop nagging. I'll pay it back, okay?

What's the chief doing here?

You must be very worried. - I want you to arrest...

Kang Hyun Chul as soon as you can.

Jeong Wan's trying his best to find him.

I asked him to find a testifier regarding the accident.

So I want you...

to be in charge of arresting him.

You want me to be in charge?

I want you to find him before a testifier shows up and testifies.

Yes, sir.

That woman projected her anger and hatred toward me...

onto Min Ji.

The woman...

who took...

your daughter.

Kim Eun Young.

I surely picked it up...

where your daughter was found,

so I hope you find her.

Mom.

Soo Min got into a higher Chinese characters class.

Chae Lin, you're also very smart.

Don't you think...

you can stop attending the math academy?

I heard other kids are having a hard time because they're going to...

so many academies for so many subjects.

But you're already smart enough.

Right? - But I want to do better.

I also want to learn how to write Chinese characters.

All the smart kids go to that academy.

So if I go there, I think I'd feel proud.

I really want to take an entrance exam for that academy.

When can I start receiving private tutoring?

Do you...

really want to?

Why? Can I not?

Of course, you can.

I'll let you do everything you want to do.

I'm your mom.

Let me know if you need money.

Feel free to ask.

I have a high school alumni reunion tonight,

so I don't think I can see Soo Min today.

He gathered with his club members yesterday.

Today, he has a high school alumni reunion.

And tomorrow, he needs to go mountain climbing.

Honey. Honey.

Honey. Honey.

What you just saw is a misunderstanding.

She was waiting for me up front and suddenly jumped into the car...

Forget it.

Please don't misunderstand me like you did last time.

It's not what you think.

The least you could do was not get caught.

What?

Getting caught is worse than the fact that you're cheating.

What...

Hey, what were you...

I told you not to come to my house.

Okay.

I guess I'll just have to end it here for today.

Hey, that's enough. Seriously.

You know that...

the moment I spill the truth, your life will be ruined.
