FILMING WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH COVID-19 GUIDELINES

Coming.

That wasn't the first time

that my life was turned upside down.

Who are you?

I learned that

one day is all it takes

for my entire life

to be turned upside down.

I learned that…

Hi.

Long time no see.

…for the first time 20 years ago.

ON DUTY FOR YOUR SAFETY AND HAPPINESS YOUNGSAN POLICE STATION

Hey, kid.

Is something wrong?

Do you need help?

Wait, is that…

blood on your clothes?

Hey!

YOUNGSAN EXPRESS BUS TERMINAL

LEGAL NAME CHANGE FORM

And

I heard…

NEW NAME KIM HYE-JOO

…that name again…

Kim Jae-eun.

…for the first time in 20 years.

Or should I say…

Kim Hye-joo?

You murderer.

CONFRONTATION

How have you been?

Right.

I know it's late, but congratulations on your marriage.

The wife of an assemblyman?

That's amazing.

You had reached out to my chief advisor

but I wanted to meet you personally.

Look…

Is that your daughter?

No.

Then who is she?

She's a kid I know.

Yes, she's just a kid I know.

Look, Seung-hee.

I'm a bit busy today,

so let's talk…

Let's talk another time, okay?

All right.

Let me get your number then.

Sure.

Save my number.

I'll call you.

Okay.

It's so nice to see you.

I missed you,

my friend.

See you later.

Ms. Kim.

Ms. Kim.

Let's visit Ji-hoon some other time.

I'm feeling unwell. I need to get some rest.

What?

My name?

Yes.

I'm taking out a mortgage to fund the election campaign.

I needed our resident registration forms

since the house is under both of our names,

and yours said you had changed your name.

Kim Jae-eun?

It's a pretty name. Why did you change it?

No reason.

"Kim Jae-eun."

That's new.

Go to bed first.

I'll be in the study.

Thank you for reaching out to us.

I came here to tell you to stop what you're doing.

My mother-in-law has done nothing wrong.

We can get into that later.

Are you originally from Youngsan?

It's also my wife's hometown.

I see.

She often talks about fond memories of Youngsan,

so whenever I meet people from there, I feel at home as well.

But I try to stay professional

and distinguish

right from wrong.

Now that we're acquainted, try to arrange a meal with him.

What are you doing?

Sir, it's about Ji Seung-kyu's family.

Ji Seung…

Right, the medical student? What is it?

His mother swallowed some pills.

Do you think Mr. Nam's meeting with Mr. Choi didn't go very well?

He's been looking kind of uneasy.

Right?

What could it be?

ASSEMBLYMAN'S OFFICE

Thanks. Bye.

They pumped her stomach, so her life is not in danger.

Why did she do it?

I'm not sure.

Well…

She must be either heartbroken over the loss of her son

or shocked by the hateful comments.

Every article about him had quite a few comments saying that he deserved to die.

I called them "hateful comments",

but that's the public sentiment.

So please don't blame yourself

for what happened to him or his mother.

Are you thinking about Ji-hoon?

How could I not?

He must have received tens of thousands of hate comments.

Every time he did something wrong

and even after his death.

It's true that what he did was wrong,

and he should be scolded and punished for it.

But…

NAM JOONG-DO MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS SON'S MISDEEDS AND STEP DOWN

Most parents beg for mercy

when their children do something wrong…

I ask for him to be punished strictly by the law,

and I sincerely apologize as his father

for failing to discipline him properly.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA

…but I did the opposite.

Hi, honey.

NAM APOLOGIZES FOR SON'S ASSAULT CASE AT PRESS CONFERENCE

And it hurt my wife greatly.

Don't give a criminal a narrative.

What?

"Don't give a criminal a narrative."

That's what the audience says these days

when characters in movies or dramas say something like that.

They refuse to give criminals any room for pity

or being understood.

That's the public sentiment.

I have a heavy heart whenever I think of Ji-hoon,

but that's the reality.

What I mean by that is,

you have to keep your pity, or any form of personal sentiments

toward Ji-hoon or Ji Seung-kyu's mother, at home.

You should only express it to your wife.

You're not Ji-hoon's father right now.

You're an assemblyman with an election coming up.

Just like you said, you have to stay professional.

If you were to lose your child,

what would you rather have the cause of death be?

Suicide, murder…

or an accident?

The last one would be the least painful.

It would be, wouldn't it?

Yes.

At least as a parent.

She often talks about fond memories of Youngsan,

so whenever I meet people from there, I feel at home as well.

-She ran away? -Yes.

She left town as soon as she graduated.

She ran away from her crimes.

SEOUL TO YOUNGSAN

KIM JAE-EUN

You've been living a happy life, haven't you?

NEW MESSAGE FROM SEUNG-HEE

MEDICAL STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE AFTER BEING EXPOSED BY NAM

Your husband killed someone as well.

By the way,

does he know about your past?

INCOMING CALL

-Hey, Seung-hee. -I saw the news.

Hey.

Look, Seung-hee…

Did you think fleeing to Seoul and changing your name

would cover up the murder you committed?

If that's what you wanted, you should have kept a low profile.

Did you think no one would recognize you

when you're the wife of an assemblyman?

Come to Youngsan.

We should…

continue our little chat.

Come here tomorrow.

And don't even think about running away.

Seung-hee--

YOUR HUSBAND KILLED SOMEONE AS WELL. DOES HE KNOW ABOUT YOUR PAST?

Mom.

Mom.

Hey, I'm home.

Where have you been all day?

Sorry.

I had to take care of something.

Mom.

What is it?

Well…

I know we're supposed to go shopping for land tomorrow,

but can you go without me?

Why?
