Idol I

I…

Think I know.

Sorry?

The person who came to my place that day,

I think I know who it was.

Yes, Young-bin.

What?

Mr. Choi, can you hear me?

If you can, blink once.

- Jae-hee! - Jae-hee.

Are you starting to come around?

Jae-hee.

La-ik.

Yes.

Why am I here?

Where's Hye-joo?

I'm sorry,

but the patient needs rest.

Please step outside.

Why would he ask for Hye-joo?

What happened that night?

Yeah, what happened?

Do you know something?

It's a relief that Jae-hee woke up.

About that accessory,

that…

Was something Hye-joo and I got together.

What's this?

These are our matching piercings. Cute, right?

So beautiful.

I worked so hard to get these!

She ordered them herself.

I heard only two existed in the whole country.

Let's wear these every day.

When we broke up,

I took mine off and locked it in my safe.

Then the one the police seized wasn't yours.

We can't be certain yet, but…

If Hye-joo entered your house that night,

it could be connected to the door-lock sound we heard.

La-ik.

I think we should tell the police.

Yeah. We have to.

I don't have time to waver now.

We came this far

to find the truth.

It's late. You should go in.

Go ahead.

Okay. Get home safe.

Bye.

Yes, Chung-jae.

If you're still up, could you come down for a minute?

There's something I want to show you.

What is it?

You told me to check with the residents last time,

so I looked into it.

Turns out the first floor is pretty close to the garden.

And I remembered Jae-hee saying he heard something outside.

So I kept digging.

I found a house with a security camera facing that direction.

So I pulled the footage.

Did you see it? This part.

If that's a person, it's weird they're walking around

in heavy rain with no umbrella.

Comparing with the structure beside them, height is maybe low-160s.

Pretty small build.

If it's a man, he's very small.

And if it's a woman?

Hye-joo may have been at La-ik's house that night.

Hye-joo?

But didn't she say she met La-ik outside that night?

And earlier, when Jae-hee woke up,

the first person he asked for was Hye-joo.

It's not definitive yet,

but this could also be circumstantial evidence.

Given everything, I'll dig further.

Thank you.

I just don't like him, okay?

La-ik needs to be cleared fast so he can disappear from your life.

Then maybe I can…

What?

Anyway, I'll tell you if I find more.

I backed up the footage. Share it with the investigation team.

We actually thought it was strange too,

the way he asked for Hye-joo the moment he woke up.

And with this footage and the accessory you found,

we should look into that angle.

But Prosecutor Kwak is still insisting on indicting La-ik.

He says Jae-hee's statement alone isn't enough to change the suspect.

And even if Hye-joo is connected to Jae-hee's case,

it doesn't directly tie her to Woo-seong's murder.

But wasn't Do La-ik indicted

because he believed La-ik was involved in Jae-hee's case?

Exactly.

But…

Prosecutor Kwak keeps pushing this forced indictment.

No idea if it's pride or what,

but he won't back down.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Jae-hee?

Yeah.

You're here.

Where's Choi Jae-hee?

He's waiting for you inside.

He keeps insisting he'll only give his statement to you.

Open the door.

CHOI JAE-HEE

It's just…

I don't really remember

what happened.

I don't even know

why I woke up here.

So please, just leave me alone.

That night…

Stop coming after me!

After I hung up with Director Geum,

Hye-joo contacted me.

Out of nowhere, she wanted to meet me.

It's been a while.

Three years?

Yeah. I got back to Korea not long ago.

But what's going on?

Woo-seong's death was shocking enough.

Then you and La-ik.

It's all over the news. I was really worried.

Are you okay?

What happened?

What's going on?

Tell me.

It's complicated.

I don't know what's going on either.

Is that why you came out here?

This place is near where you guys had your first show.

Right.

I just really missed Woo-seong.

And I didn't have anywhere else to go.

The prosecutors keep treating me like I'm the culprit.

That's ridiculous.

There's no way. You're too soft-hearted for that.

But still, it feels like everyone suspects me.

I'm really not.

I know. You'd never do it.

But that night, you went to La-ik's place.

I think that's why people are misunderstanding.

But it will clear up. They'll see you're innocent.

How do you know that I went to his place that night?

What do you mean? It was on the news.

The news?

Of course. How else would I know?

Jae-hee.

You probably haven't eaten, right? Let's get dinner.

Okay.

You go first, I'll follow.

Let's get something nice.

I'll treat you.

Something felt wrong…

That night.

Woo-seong said

he was going to meet La-ik,

so I waited at the hospital.

STILL TALKING?

But he never called, so…

I went by La-ik's place for a moment.

Woo-seong!

But I never told anyone that.

I was afraid people would suspect me.

But I'm not sure how Hye-joo knows that.

I'm in a situation, and I need some help.

Yeah, so…

Aren't you leaving?

I'll go.

After that,

I don't remember anything.

But thinking about it,

the fact that she suddenly asked to meet,

me waking up here afterward,

none of it makes sense.

Prosecutor,

do you know why I'm telling you all this?

You once told me

that even if someone's innocent,

everything depends

on how you choose to see it.

There is no such thing as an absolute truth.

The truth is always relative.

Depending on your perspective,

it can change.

You said there's no absolute truth.

But you're wrong.

Truth is singular.

And I never wrote a suicide note.

I never attempted suicide.

That is the truth.

So please,

look at what's real.

Don't turn innocent people…

Into criminals.

I looked into Hong Hye-joo.

It's not directly related to the case,
