The Road: The Tragedy of One (더 로드: 1의 비극)

All my sins trace back to that day.

That's where it all began.

Next is about the girl who went missing in Yeongsan.

The police still haven't found a witness,

and they've seen no progress with the investigation.

People are worried it might end up as another unsolved case...

Silence came at a cost.

No matter how hard I tried to run, I couldn't.

Baek Soo Hyun!

"Never stay silent again."

That was my only way out.

I escaped so I wouldn't have to escape.

I worked hard not to stay silent.

You're watching BSN, and I'm Baek Soo Hyun.

Let me in.

I need to broadcast this.

Darn it!

My gosh.

I didn't care about the destination.

Okay. Standby. Cue.

This is Baek Soo Hyun. - The film!

I didn't care if I had to go to the edge of a cliff.

Come on. Let's go.

I didn't care what kind of price I had to pay.

I was determined to face it all.

But sometimes, I was out of breath.

And at times, although not often, I just wanted to stop.

But one day, I found a shelter of my own.

I thought fate had given me a grace period.

However,

I was mistaken.

I shouldn't have put my guard down.

I never should've stopped.

Why did I have to be the only one to survive?

Why? - It's not your fault.

Don't blame yourself.

Then...

whose fault is it?

An egoist that hides behind a mask.

You both lost your kid.

But you have no one to share your sadness with.

Just think of it as my way of consoling.

A hypocrite who acts like he's a man of conviction.

That's who I am.

I'm the one who caused all these deaths.

But I need to escape again. I need to start running.

That is...

the only way I can atone for everything.

Take this. - Yes, sir.

You must have a lot to say,

seeing that you came all the way here.

I didn't know you enjoyed hunting humans too.

But seeing that you're here,

I guess you failed to find the original copy.

I come here whenever I want.

When I was young,

I only came to clear my thoughts.

But I've become fickle with age.

Is that why you took care of things so boisterously?

I didn't kill Yoon Dong Pil.

And I don't have the original copy.

Plus, I don't like being boisterous.

What's wrong?

You look disappointed to hear my answer.

There were tons of other people who wanted him dead...

and wanted to get their hands on the original copy.

And you were one of them.

That sounds like a confession.

All humans are made the same.

Every human being has a brain, heart, and bladder.

Do you think you're different?

No, wait. There is one thing different about you.

You don't have much time left.

Two months is more than enough.

Don't be too sure of that.

No one knows what the future holds.

What's mean to happen will happen.

Is that so?

Where's the car? - It's waiting, sir.

Don't waste your time digging...

and come home sometime.

What's more important than family?

What do you mean the case is closed?

Shouldn't we at least do an autopsy?

Didn't you see all the fingerprints on Baek Soo Hyun's car?

We have the motivation and movements,

and more than enough proof of suicide.

Why do an autopsy?

I'm not done checking Kim Seok Pil and Baek Soo Hyun's cars.

I didn't even finish searching the scene.

We must do more! A kid died!

Yes, like you said, a kid died.

Not just any kid, but a kid the whole country knows!

But before we even did an autopsy,

the killer turned up dead.

He even had a death note!

Why do you want to keep digging when Lady Luck helped us out?

Now, the person who tries hardest to cover this up is the killer.

I didn't kill Yoon Dong Pil.

And I don't have the original copy.

Again, he's telling the truth.

If it's not Chairman Seo,

who on earth is it?

Darn it.

Forget it. You can go.

Who do you work for? - What?

Keeping a certain distance as you follow...

is typical of a cop.

Must I say more?

I think you're mistaken.

I have your licence plate and face.

What are you doing?

Unless you want to be exposed,

tell me who you work for. - Darn it.

On whose order?

It was the Special Investigation team leader's order.

He works for the Commissioner. It was Chairman Seo's idea.

He didn't kill Yoon Dong Pil...

or have the original copy, but he wants the case covered up?

Why even make this so public and complicated in the first place?

He could've stuck to his ways and done it secretly.

It's to play down my next report.

To cover up the news with news?

You already voiced your suspicions.

Who did Yoon Dong Pil talk to the day he died?

Oh, I was going to ask for your help.

I asked for a new warrant and got turned down.

I can't even get into Royal the Hill.

They say the surveillance footage was deleted, but I don't buy it.

Yoon Dong Pil talked to four people.

You, Chairman Seo, his ex-girlfriend,

and a burner phone.

Before the charity event started,

he talked to someone inside Royal the Hill?

It means one of the residents must've opened the door for him.

As you know, I don't have the master key of the complex.

I'll look into this. - Please do.

A strange person is hanging out by the main gate.

Please check.

You won't check the blind spots?

There's no record of Yoon Dong Pil entering the complex that day.

Excuse me.

I think he left.

The person you have reached is not available.

The head of security opened the gate.

Under someone's order,

he deliberately left out a log entry?

I can't even get into Royal the Hill.

They say the surveillance footage was deleted, but I don't buy it.

It's him. - Here he comes.

Get a photo. - Let's go.

What do you think about suspicion surrounding the abduction?

Do you admit you're involved?

Do you have anything to say?

Get in closer.

Baek Soo Hyun, that punk.

Any comments, sir?

Chairman Seo is ignoring my calls completely?

Let's go there. Drive on.

Pardon? Oh, yes, sir.

Assemblyman! - Where are you going?

Give us a comment!

For the next two days, don't put anyone through.

Not even my wife. - Yes, sir.

This just in.

Many of you must still be in shock after yesterday's news.

In a short while, Anchor Cha Seo Young,

the mother of the deceased, will speak with the press.

Let's talk to a reporter on the scene.

Did you hear the newsflash? Are you on top of that?

Yes, I'm on it. Where's our team? - I sent them over.

We'll get some footage from it. - See you at work.

The person you've dialed is not... - Darn it.

Please leave a message...

The person you've dialed is not available.

Please leave a message... - Darn.

You are bound to come to me.

It's true.

The one who died...

was my son, Choi Jun Yeong.

Countless media companies reported false information,

but I had to remain silent...

for the safety of the child who is alive.

I may be an anchor,

but I am a child's mom first, which is why I made that choice.

I thought it was...

what my late son...

would want.

I'll express my detailed emotions on News Night tonight.

Thank you all for mourning with us and for your comforting words.

Thank you...

very much.
