(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)

About what you said...

Is it true?

Which part?

That I tried to stop them?

No.

You said...

what happened that day was an accident.

Is that true?

Is it?

I told you.

So it's true then?

Why is that important?

- What? - Why is that important?

Joon Seok.

What are you doing?

What's this about?

It wasn't an accident?

You can think what you want.

Joon Seok. Joon Seok...

- It's different. - What's different?

What are you talking about?

Seon Ho didn't tie these.

They'll come off. Tie them properly.

They're easier to take off this way.

I think a ribbon would be tighter.

Shall I do it for you?

I prefer it this way. Ribbons aren't my taste either.

What a weird taste.

- Hurry up, Soo Ho. - Hurry up.

- I'm coming. - Hurry.

You're always late.

- See you. - Bye.

Seon Ho said...

he didn't like tying them like a ribbon.

Look.

This pair and this. They're all the same.

Only this one is different.

The shoes he wore that day are tied different.

Seon Ho wasn't alone that day. He was with someone.

That person tied these.

Why? What for?

To make it look like a suicide.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Seon Ho could've tied them differently that day.

They were definitely tied the usual way that morning.

Seon Ho...

didn't want to die.

Someone wanted to make it look like a suicide.

Joon Seok. Open the door.

Let's talk.

Please open the door. Please.

I just want to help you.

I'm not trying to blame you.

Let me in, Joon Seok.

Did something bad happen at the academy?

No.

Why are you in a bad mood?

I'm not.

"I'm worried" is written all over your handsome face.

I'm fine.

See? You sound annoyed.

I'm not annoyed.

Okay, fine.

Shall we get some ice cream?

Dad's on a business trip...

Drop me off at school.

Why do you want to go to school?

I left something behind.

Is it important?

I need it for an exam tomorrow.

I see.

Go to the gate at the back.

Why?

It's quicker that way. It's a shortcut.

Okay sure.

Don't wait for me.

You'll be right back.

I might take a while if I'm looking things up.

I'll wait. Get what you need.

I can manage on my own. Go home.

Why are you so cranky today?

This is why Dad calls me a mama's boy.

Okay.

Call if you're running late. I'll pick you up.

I won't be late. Go ahead.

Okay, sure. I'm leaving.

Joon Seok.

Joon Seok. Wait. Listen.

Joon Seok.

Sorry.

Why is everyone so interested in the Seah case?

I don't know.

She was there when the students gave statements?

Don't even mention it.

She almost fought with a parent.

Really?

Analyze the fingerprints on this.

What?

My son didn't tie these shoelaces.

I heard you found my son's shoes on the roof.

Yes.

Do you remember how the shoelaces were tied?

The shoelaces?

Yes. When we got them back,

they were tied up in a ribbon.

Like how most people usually tie their shoelaces.

I'm asking if that's how they were tied when you found them.

I was too flustered to remember correctly,

but I think you're right.

You didn't tie them up or something, did you?

Why would I?

I shouldn't touch evidence.

But why are you asking about that?

My son doesn't tie his shoes like this.

I checked all his shoes at home.

None of them were tied like this.

Only these were tied differently.

There's no proof that someone else tied them up.

That's why...

I want you to pull some prints.

That day would've been special.

Special?

You know how you clean your desk...

before you study for an exam.

Your son might have tied his laces differently...

- to refresh... - My son...

Please.

He didn't want to kill himself.

Someone made it look like a suicide.

People fiddle with other people's shoes.

- How can... - Be quiet!

I get what you mean, but...

Will you say I'm being irrational?

Sending these in to have prints pulled from them is no big deal.

My wife believes someone hurt Seon Ho...

and made it look like a suicide.

As a mother, she would doubt everything.

But I think it's a reach to suspect foul play with the shoelaces alone.

I'm aware.

That's what the police will say too.

Do you think the same as your wife?

What do you mean?

Fabric laces or shoes don't retain fingerprints.

You won't get anything even if you send them to a lab.

Even if, by some miracle, we find a partial,

unless the suspect's a criminal,

we must run the partial against every person in Korea.

That would take too long.

Just the students... No.

If that's too much...

Can't you compare them to the prints of the kids in the video?

We don't have the prints of minors on file.

We'll need their parents' permission.

Would they allow us to take their kids fingerprints?

They all have an alibi too.

Then what on earth...

can you police do?

If you keep saying you can't do this or that,

who will get to the bottom of what Seon Ho went through?

If you suspect foul play without proof,

- then the wronged... - The one...

who's really wronged is my son!

The person you should protect...

is the victim, not the attackers.

Not the attackers but the victim!

We're not protecting the attackers here!

Detective Kim!

I understand how you feel,

but pulling prints won't help.

(Upright and powerful Kangho Police, a safe and happy community)

Why is she making such a fuss?

Darn it. She even left these behind.

- Hey. - What?

Would you tie your shoelaces differently...

before you killed yourself?

I could if I wanted to be mentally prepared.

Why would a mentally prepared kid not leave a note?

It's inconsistent.

Adolescents tend to be impulsive.

Check the cameras for Seon Ho's activity from his academy to school.

What's the matter with you? What about Ki Deuk Cheol?

Excuse me.

Hey.

Hello.

I'm Choi Ji Kyung.

I overheard you speak with the detectives.

I got curious.

Curious?

Yes. Patriotic martyr Lee Han Yeol's shoes changed the world.

You brought a pair as well.

Is it a school bullying case?

If you feel wronged, I could help.

I don't trust reporters who approach out of curiosity.

I don't write just with curiosity.

I'll call if I need your help.

How did I end up like this?

I'm a piece of trash.

While talking to the police, Gi Chan...
