Kairos (Kairoseu / 카이로스)

Ae Ri?

Are you awake?

How did you come here?

There's someone I need to see.

Are you awake?

Where is that recording?

Where's your lifeline?

I don't have it with me.

You don't need to complicate this.

Where is it?

Do you think I'll tell you?

I gave you all the money you asked for...

and let your daughter go.

You need to keep your promise.

You must be having trouble remembering.

I never said I'll give it to you.

I said I won't just sit around if you lay a finger on my daughter.

Do you think it'll make her happy if you died here?

I'm not scared of death.

I'm ready to die any minute now.

And I do not have a grain of trust in you,

who can't seem to live like a decent human.

If you want to kill me, go ahead.

That's the moment when the whole world...

will find out what you're truly like.

Everyone is scared of death.

But in this world, there are some things...

that are worse than death itself.

You aren't in great condition.

There's no need to wander here and there.

You should live in comfort until the day you die.

How much longer does she have to live?

- Pardon? - She's sick.

I heard she doesn't have long to live.

I'll take care of her right away on your word.

We can always take her life.

But we need to take it when her life is worth the action.

Yes, sir.

(Medical Hospital: Information for checkups)

Over here.

Mom.

Ae Ri.

Ae Ri.

Ae Ri.

Mom.

I've been looking everywhere for you!

Don't cry.

Mom, I thought I'd never see you again.

Everything is over now.

- Let's go home. - Mom...

- Hello? - Hello, sir.

This is Seo Do Kyun of Yujung Constructions,

who recently visited you with Director Kim Seo Jin.

- I see. - I had a question...

as I looked over the survey we gave out at the presentation.

Could I meet with the residents who have negative opinions...

and find out what they have to say?

I see.

Yes, I understand.

I'll wait for your call.

It must've been tough for all of you. Thank you.

You should run along and get some rest.

All right. Get a good rest.

Mom, I'm going to come here and eat starting tomorrow.

Ae Ri, I'll pick up my stuff tomorrow.

- Bye. - Bye. Thanks for your help today.

Get some rest.

Mom, I need to know now.

I can't wait around any longer.

What's this thing that you're afraid of?

What have you been running away from?

I won't run away anymore.

I'll be right by your side.

No, I won't let it slide.

You know that covering this up won't solve anything.

Tell me everything. What is this that you're keeping from me?

Then... Then what about you?

Why did you go to Yujung Constructions' recital?

- That was because... - Don't tell me...

you were actually going to abduct that girl.

Not at all.

I was only trying to stop her from getting abducted.

You don't even know her, so how did you know...

that she was going to get abducted?

I had my reasons.

I'll tell you everything later.

Just like how you had your reasons, I have mine as well.

Let's stop talking about this from now on.

So what are your reasons?

Mom. Did you even consider how I must've felt?

Mom.

I can't allow you to disappear again.

Listen carefully.

If you want to stay with me,

don't ask me any questions.

Mom.

I know I've done nothing for you and have only burdened you...

with my illness, but Ae Ri,

please respect my decisions.

Trust me this once.

I'm sorry, Ae Ri.

I'm sorry.

You have always been...

the sole reason...

why I strived to live.

So...

please trust me this once.

Mom.

I can't explain everything to you just yet.

But I will protect you.

(I was worried that there might be some kind of accident.)

Sir.

- Yes? - The result of the EDR analysis...

for Kim Seo Jin's vehicle came out.

You should take a look at this.

What's wrong?

He had accelerated right before the crash.

What?

Sir.

The detailed blood test result for the deceased victims came out.

Let me see.

The NFS said that they found no toxic substances...

in victims Kang Hyun Chae and Kim Da Bin's blood.

But the detailed blood test result showed small doses...

of sleeping pill substances.

And the substances are similar to those taken by Kim Seo Jin.

What does this mean?

There's no way he would've fed them those drugs himself.

My name is Seo Do Kyun.

I got a call from Mr. Park Ho Young.

I see. I'll let you through.

What's even stranger is the EDR.

Look at how the vehicle moved five seconds before the crash.

From 5.0 seconds to 2.0 seconds before the crash,

the brakes weren't even used.

Not only did he not use the brakes,

but he accelerated toward the other vehicle.

Does this mean Kim Seo Jin caused this accident on purpose?

There has always been the possibility...

of his dozing off while driving.

But the problem is,

we found the same drug substances in his family members' blood.

What do you think about this?

Also, his psychiatrist said...

that he was delusional.

It was about his wife and his daughter dying.

Also, he sent all three of his vehicles...

to the repair shop...

and rented a car that didn't even have a dashcam for a week.

Do you think he tried to commit suicide together?

In that case, the other driver was also a victim, right?

But they ran away and left their car behind.

They must've been terrified since there were casualties.

We should hear Kim Seo Jin out.

But all the evidence is pointing toward one person.

First, let's go to the hospital.

His phone is at the hospital, right?

Probably. It wasn't at the scene of the accident.

First, let's find his phone.

Goodbye, sir.

Should we ask those around Kim Seo Jin...

about his relationship with his family?

I asked Mr. Seo Do Kyun to come over here.

I asked him to call me when he was free,

so he'll call soon.

What are you doing?

Mom.

What are you doing?

I'll make you breakfast today.

Come to think of it, I've never made you a proper meal.

I regretted that the most when you were gone.

You did prepare...

a grand meal for me once.

Really? I have?

Don't you remember?

After your dad died, I couldn't eat anything...

and lied in bed for days on end.

You were seven back then,

and you made me ramyeon.

With your tiny hands,

you brought a pot of ramyeon...

that had so much water.

That's when I finally realized.

"I need to live well."

"I should live a good life..."

"with my daughter."

Is that so?

Ae Ri, it must've been really tough.

Every time I had a tough time, you helped me get back on my feet.

I have you as well.

Also,

I called Dad from time to time.

You called him?

His phone number was still valid.

So I'd call him at times and leave voice mails.

I see.

You did that.

Oh, right. I visited Taejung recently...

and met a former coworker of Dad's.

I was so fascinated to hear stories about Dad from someone else.
