Where's patient Shin I-rang?

Are you Mr. Shin I-rang's guardian?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

He was already unconscious when he arrived at the hospital.

No.

I should've been there.

I should've been with him.

What…

Am I…

Am I dead?

Am I…

Dead for real?

Mister.

Who are you?

Wait.

Who am I?

Mister.

You have to go there.

Where is there?

Mother, he's here!

I-rang.

I-rang, Mom is here.

Doctor, what happened to my son?

Don't go out there.

Mister, don't go.

What happened to my son, doctor?

Please. Please help him, doctor.

We've already tried CPR several times.

- Doctor. - Please. I beg you.

You said…

You'd find my mom for me.

Patient Shin I-rang is pronounced dead at 8:43 p.m. on August 16…

What… Did you hear that?

- Get the defibrillator. - Yes, doctor.

- What's going on… - Please move aside.

- No. - Folks, please move back.

- But… - Come this way.

I-rang.

Clear!

Charge to 200 joules.

EKG has returned!

- I-rang, can you see me? - I-rang.

I-rang, can you hear me?

Attorney Shin

Reporter Park Seong-chan.

We will bring you more updates on Cho as the story develops.

Next, let's meet the hero who saved the kidnapped child, Kwon.

- Reporter Kim Bo-ra? - There it comes.

I'm currently at the hospital where Mr. Shin I-rang is hospitalized.

Mr. Shin got shot in the process of saving the child,

- but he's undergoing a smooth recovery... - He's coming out.

- Mr. Shin is coming out now. - Mr. Shin!

A word, please!

Lightning…

Lightning…

Uncle.

You're so cool. You're the best!

You think?

If you say so, I guess I really am cool.

What a relief.

- Ouch! - Oh, no.

- Are you okay? - Careful.

- That fool. - Get some rest, okay?

- Thanks, everyone. - See you later.

Bong-su, power!

I-rang, power!

- Let's go. - Gosh, you've been through a lot.

Have some time alone. We'll be back soon.

Attorney Han cried?

She cried her eyes out, saying she should've been with you.

She did?

She cried her eyes out?

What's so funny?

Oh, Attorney Han.

Are you okay?

Why can't you be more careful? You got shot.

I'm okay. I mean it.

Mister, can I go to your house?

Do that. It must be boring to stay here. Go have fun with Da-bong and her grandma.

Okay!

Yay!

Si-ho left.

You must've been shocked because of me.

I was shocked and upset.

You should've gone with Bong-su or me to handle such a thing.

It was dangerous to go there alone.

You're right.

I guess I was in a rush.

I wanted to find out who Si-ho was as soon as possible.

Oh, right.

The day you went to find Si-ho,

his dad visited the office for a divorce consultation.

Divorce?

They've been living apart since Si-ho went missing.

Both of them are struggling with regret and a sense of guilt.

They don't even know if he's alive. I bet it's worse for them.

You're right.

A slim chance

can cause more pain sometimes.

Anyway, how's the investigation going?

It's taking place under detention

thanks to Ye-jun who was rescued from the scene.

But Cho Chi-yeong is pleading the Fifth regarding Si-ho

who went missing more than a year ago.

Ye-jun and Si-ho are around the same age

and were both in yellow rain boots.

Nevertheless, no evidence proves that he kidnapped Si-ho.

What are you doing?

A sentence for abduction, enticement, and confinement of a minor

is only a max sentence of ten years in prison.

It'll be a much lighter sentence in reality.

I can't let that happen.

I'll help you like this.

- Oh, gosh. - I-rang was shot!

Sorry. My bad.

At least, let's walk in step.

Left foot, left foot.

What for? We're not soldiers.

Oops!

Oh, come on!

Are you okay?

"I slept like a baby."

"Did you sleep well?"

I wish I could play too.

"Honey, did you have a good night?"

"Of course."

"We should have breakfast."

"Let's have breakfast and…."

"Honey, do you have an acting gig today?"

"Yes, I play a doctor role today."

"My gosh, that's amazing."

Dad, can you not go to work?

I want to spend time with you.

"Should we go to the amusement park with Da-bong this weekend?"

"Nice idea. That's my wife, Sa-rang."

I want to go camping.

"Good luck with the shoot."

"Okay, thanks."

Excuse me.

I'm here about the boy named Yoon Si-ho.

Are you Si-ho's father?

Do you know my son?

I heard from the police.

That he went missing a year ago.

You saved the boy named Ye-jun.

Do you

happen to know where Si-ho is?

No.

I'm sorry.

I see.

Hello?

He doesn't know.

Honey? Are you okay?

Do you want me to go there now?

Okay, I'm sorry. I just…

Our Si-ho will be okay.

Let's wait a little more, okay?

He said he'd let you in the police car?

Yes.

He was a stranger. Weren't you scared of him?

He wasn't a stranger.

That detective gave a safety lesson at school.

In that case, it must've been easier to trust him.

And he was really good to me.

He showed me his pistol and played with me.

But when I wanted to go home at night,

he stopped me, saying he'd take me somewhere fun the next day.

I still said I was going to go home,

and he got angry.

The truth is,

I had a headache since that morning.

It got worse as he yelled at me.

Did it hurt badly?

Yes.

So,

I took medicine and kept sleeping.

When I opened my eyes,

I was in your office.

I see.

I miss my parents.

Can't I go see them?

Si-ho.

I'm afraid you can't see your mom and dad

right now.

Why?

Your parents are…

A little sick.

Really? How sick are they?

They're heartsick.

Why?

Let's say

your friend tripped next to you.

How would you feel?

I'd feel sorry

for not stopping him from tripping.
