(Report on the Cause of the Taejung Town Collapse)

Mr. Im, this is Kim Seo Jin.

I'm in front of Ms. Han's house, but no one seems to be home.

Last month, she got Lee Taek Gyu.

Both my daughter and my wife are alive.

Everything has changed.

Then why... Why is Ae Ri still dead?

What did you say?

Ae Ri is still dead,

and her mom is in the ICU.

Does that mean...

Lee Taek Gyu wasn't the killer?

You promised to save her!

This was all done by the chairman of Yujung Constructions, wasn't it?

Did you get what Mr. Kim Jin Ho brought?

No, I had to run out of the studio apartment in a hurry.

I haven't received it.

Then where in the world is that...

Where is that thing now?

It wasn't in the apartment when Soo Jung and I...

cleaned out Ms. Kwak's stuff.

We'd have to meet Mr. Kim from a month ago and get it.

He had called Ms. Kwak before,

so I'm sure she has his number somewhere.

I'll look for it.

It'll be 10:33 p.m. soon. You should speak with Ae Ri.

(Report on the Cause of the Taejung Town Collapse)

Hello?

May I speak with Ms. Han?

She is sleeping after taking sedatives.

Is she badly injured?

Hello? Is she okay?

By the way, who are you?

I'm Kim Seo Jin. Is she okay?

Are you at the hospital?

Thankfully, she's okay.

I'm relieved.

But really, who are you?

Are you really Mr. Kim?

I'll call you again later.

Did you not go home yesterday?

I was at the hospital.

How is she?

She's not severely injured.

What will you do with Lee Taek Gyu?

- Where is he right now? - He's locked up.

He was caught red-handed for doing something terrible.

And we couldn't risk him running away,

so we requested an arrest warrant.

Then he won't be free for a while.

His charges of kidnapping and attempted murder...

can be proven.

Once we file the report, the prosecution will take him.

Soo Jung, let's go home right now.

I'm not even in pain. I'm totally fine. Okay?

Come on, Soo Jung.

My mom is going to worry if she finds out.

Tell them that I want to get discharged. Please?

Hurry up, Soo Jung.

Mom.

Come here.

Are you okay?

Mom, I'm really fine.

We just spoke to your doctor. He said you can leave.

Soo Jung, go fill out the papers with Ms. Kwak.

- Hey. - What? What did you say?

You can stay here. I'll do it by myself.

No, let me come with you.

Lee Taek Gyu is locked up.

Is everything okay now?

Are you sure you're safe?

It's all thanks to you. Thank you.

We were too reckless.

Look at your face.

Gosh, it's my fault. I'm sorry.

Hey, you should worry about yourself.

It's obvious that Lee Taek Gyu is just someone's henchman.

You're still not safe until we catch Chairman Yu. Right?

That one looks too gloomy.

This suits your attire more. What do you think?

See you later.

Come in.

This is the proposal you were talking about.

(Demolition Proposal for Taejung's Abandoned Buildings)

This is a proposal regarding the demolition of buildings...

as a symbolic event before starting the Taejung Project.

And how do the residents feel about this?

The majority of the residents had wanted this for a long time.

- And the method of demolition? - I believe we should blast it...

since they're large and will inconvenience the residents less.

(Demolition Proposal for Taejung's Abandoned Buildings)

This will be the last paper of yours that I'll sign.

Don't you think we should stop working together?

How much do you remember?

I even remember the resort you and my wife stayed at...

after kidnapping Da Bin.

But you probably don't remember that...

because what you remember comes after the accident.

Your shameless abduction act...

succeeded once.

After reading your texts with Han Ae Ri,

I did get that idea.

That'll be all. We can continue...

our private conversation outside.

Mr. Seo, you have fieldwork today, don't you?

(Seo Do Kyun, Yujung Constructions)

I looked through Ms. Kwak's calls,

but I couldn't find his number.

I think he made the call through a payphone,

but for now, there's no way to locate him.

We have no choice but to ask...

Ms. Han and me from the past for help.

We need to get hold of what he has.

What will you say to Ae Ri?

At least come up with a plan so that I can have hope and wait!

Am I supposed to just count down the days until her death?

Mr. Kim, how did it go?

Did your car accident never happen?

Yes, my family and I are fine.

Then, what about me?

Am I alive in a month's time?

Well...

It seems like...

Lee Taek Gyu wasn't the one who killed you.

Then...

my future hasn't changed?

I'm sorry.

However, we still have time to find the real killer...

and bring down Chairman Yu.

Please don't apologize.

I'm glad to know that your family is alive.

Ms. Han, did you know about...

Seo Do Kyun...

and my wife all along?

How did you find out?

I saw your wife at that studio apartment.

Back then, I didn't know if it was related to Da Bin's kidnapping,

so I figured it'd be best not to tell you.

I wouldn't have believed you anyway.

Not unless I saw it myself.

You're home.

What's going on? Why are you packing?

I'll be staying near the office for the time being.

Why? Is something up? Is it work-related?

I see that it isn't.

Da Bin... I'll come by to see her.

How can I understand if you don't tell me?

Don't provoke Chairman Yu.

It'll put you and Da Bin in danger.

Consider that...

as a parting gift.

Hello?

Did something happen between you and Seo Jin?

We'll talk tomorrow in person.

- Mom. - Yes?

Weren't you asleep?

Aren't...

you curious...

why I met Lee Taek Gyu?

That nonsense you were spewing about...

something happening to you in a month.

Did it have anything to do with that?

I know that no explanation...

can help you understand right now.

It must've been hard for you...

to keep this secret all to yourself.

Protecting you...

is my only goal.

It's why I was adamant about not telling you anything.

But now,

I don't know what I should do.

I want to protect you too...

as much as you want to protect me.

That's not your job.

It's what parents should do.

You've always done what's best for me...

and I know exactly how you feel.

If it only brings you pain,

don't tell me anything.

I'll just try harder.

If it only brings you pain,

don't tell me anything.

I want to protect you too...

as much as you want to protect me.

Ae Ri.

Yes?

What would you like for me to tell you?

- Mom? - What would you like to know?

Where's Kim Jin Ho?

I need to meet him.

It's his phone number. This is all I know.

You won't be able to reach him at that number though...

and he's constantly on the move.

However, I know the hospital that his daughter goes to.

I asked because...

it worried me the most when I heard he was on the move.

He'll be taking his daughter there for regular checkups.

Ae Ri.

Did you find out where Kim Jin Ho is?
