Miraculous Brothers (The Miracle Brothers / Gijeogui Hyeongje / 기적의 형제)

The bookstore.

The bookstore. Hold on. The bookstore.

Open the door.

The bookstore.

What are you doing?

"It was warm."

"On the glass wall next to the bookstore's entrance,"

"the advertisement posters were hanging side by side."

"Yes. 'The Art of Mathematics' is the best math book."

The best way to get a perfect score in English, Sungmoon English.

The advertisement poster for study aids was in the center.

Squeezing through the hectic bookstore...

came the sunlight on a late autumn afternoon.

It was warm.

The books were put away, peacefully awaiting to be read.

And not to disturb their peaceful rest,

I quietly and slowly...

flipped through the pages and briefly put down...

my mountain-high troubles.

I had no idea that the corner of the second shelf...

was basking in the sun.

I quietly turned the pages.

The sunshine approached me like waves.

In no time, it turned into the river.

The bookstore transformed into a huge ship.

It carried all kinds of books one could imagine...

and became a paper boat that sailed away in its own river.

I turned the pages as if I was rowing the boat.

Page by page. I wasn't pushing away the water.

I flowed along with the water.

That is all for today.

Like the rowing of a boatman who finished sailing for the day,

I softly closed the book I was reading...

and put it back on the shelf.

Do you want to take it and read it?

I was reading it. But I just finished it.

Why are you giving this to me?

Now that I finished the book,

I feel overwhelmed.

But I have no one to share this with.

You can read it, so we can talk about it.

I folded the pages too, so can't sell it anyway.

Right. Next time,

let's try reading this.

Maybe, it might be a bit challenging.

My hands can feel the warmth from holding the book.

That autumn,

I was faced with a moment of good.

It felt warm...

for the first time in my life.

It doesn't say anything about my dad.

Or the backpack, for that matter.

It didn't say anything about his brother going missing.

What are you doing in there?

Right.

He couldn't have done it.

By the time my father gave the backpack to Lee Kang San,

the manuscript was already in the backpack.

And everything that happened afterwards...

Kai has no idea about that.

So he couldn't have written about it.

The first act of the novel is Lee Ha Neul's personal account...

of the Sopyung Lake case.

The second act is Kai's plan of revenge.

My dad's story is...

between Act 1 and Act 2.

The hidden story that even Kai doesn't know.

Why are you standing over there? What is it?

Get in already. Hurry.

You didn't open the door for me.

Where are we going?

The day you met my dad...

You said you got into the accident the day you got the backpack, right?

I know that's impossible, but that's what I remember.

Right. It's impossible...

because my father passed away in 1995.

And you are in 2022 now.

I know that you're probably flustered.

I admit that there's an error in my memory.

It wasn't an error in your memory.

It was an error in time.

What do you mean?

There are no coincidences in this world.

Some things are bound to happen.

Please try to make some sense.

Back to the future. Hold tight.

I know this sounds absurd.

But the plot of the novel is taking place in real life.

The description in the novel is so precise as if the writer saw...

the crime scene where Shin Kyung Chul was murdered.

Come with me.

This isn't a coincidence.

No Myung Nam is the one who sent this book to me.

He's trying to tell me the truth that got covered up 27 years ago.

Try to get a search warrant with this novel as our evidence, then.

I'm not saying that the novel is our evidence.

We can't prove how much of it is true or false.

Once we find Na Sang Woo's body,

things will start aligning for this case.

What if we make a fuss, searching the river...

and end up humiliating ourselves?

How will you take responsibility for that?

If there's even the slightest possibility,

it is our duty to investigate!

How much longer will you keep this up?

Look at this.

The evidence from the scene,

the circumstances, and people related to the case...

all bring us back to the Sopyung Lake case from 27 years ago.

Do you want to go back to the Traffic Investigation Unit?

The culprit will kill again. We must stop it.

I told you not to overcomplicate it!

You just transferred back. Wake up, and know your place.

You're taking it way too far.

If you want to keep this up,

drop out of the case and take some time off.

Sir. - Captain Oh.

Clear your head while you rest.

Let's talk.

Did you know about this too?

How could you do this?

He's not just someone you know.

He was your partner who had been through thick and thin.

How could you help her turn him into a corrupt cop without evidence?

There is evidence.

Me.

I'm the evidence.

I watched Byun Jong Il beat up No Myung Nam,

but I turned a blind eye.

I knew that No Myung Nam's statement didn't add up.

But I kept quiet.

I did that.

Why did you become a detective?

Because my parents were against it.

What about you?

I just wanted to save one person.

Just one person? Who?

Whoever. I don't care.

There's a famous saying that goes, "Saving a life..."

"is the same as saving the whole of mankind."

Who said that? - Me.

Definitely not me.

Someone probably said it.

I'm sorry.

Is the rumour true?

Did you have an affair with my husband?

No.

I didn't.

I respected Min Woo a lot.

It was only one-sided.

Min Woo...

It was our child's birthday.

He never took a day off, except for that day.

If you didn't call him,

he wouldn't have gone there.

You killed him.

At times, our reality can be more unrealistic.

Things you think would never happen...

happen in this world.

This isn't...

a novel.

Novels can't go ahead of real life.

Fine.

Find No Myung Nam first.

You check all the security cameras.

Check everywhere he might have gone.

Get a move on.

This is Park Hyun Soo.

Why do you think Jeon Doo Hyun died?

Who is this?

You're missing the key point.

Don't be arrogant and think that you know the big picture now.

You must be humble.

Only then will you be able to see the hidden picture.

There must be something you want to say to me.

Why don't we meet in person?

As for every problem,

no matter how big or complicated it may be,

it all ends in one place.

You must know that...

better than anyone.

It's money.

Track the number to locate the phone.

And check the name on the cell phone account.

Check out the call history too.

It's highly likely that it's a burner phone.

But check everything you can about the caller.

Hurry. - Yes.

No Myung Nam...

kidnapped Assemblyman Byun Jong Il's daughter.

I thought we were going to Dong Ju Bookstore.

Don't move. Stay in the car.

I might remember something if we go to the bookstore.
