THE FIRST RESPONDERS

ALL CHARACTERS, LOCATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS, INCIDENTS, GROUPS,

AND BACKGROUNDS DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

These guys had nothing to do with your case, right?

This is your last chance to come clean.

Why did you lie?

So that their grades would plummet.

Haeun.

Do you even know how hard it is to maintain first place?

Do you know what I had to go through for what you did?

Are you saying it was all a lie?

I don't care.

Look.

I'm sorry for the hassle.

She's just immature.

I'll take care of her from now on.

How can you possibly take care of me?

You didn't even know that I was pregnant.

You don't deserve to be a mom.

What?

Watch what you say to your mom!

I don't think you had to come here just for this.

You should go.

It would've been great had that been the end of it.

But we have proof

of another crime in your household.

She wasn't alone on the day

of her suicide attempt.

Despite the police officers and fire crew being on the scene,

he quietly hid in his room.

It was as if he had committed a sin

and was hiding from the police and fire crew.

BASE STATION ACCESS RECORD SONG MINJUN

Why did you do that?

Are you okay? Minjun.

Minjun. What's going on with you?

How much did you know, sir?

What is the patient's name?

Patient Song Minjun didn't come with his mother.

It's Song Minjun.

He came with his father.

That surgery was for him to focus only on studying.

You probably don't know,

but it's common in this neighborhood.

Then, did you know...

that he skipped his annual test for semen analysis last year?

He should get it redone yearly since it could get undone naturally.

But he didn't come by last year.

I skipped it, because I had a grade match for an online game.

You little...

But it wasn't me. It's true.

I didn't do anything!

Then why did you hide from the police?

That was because...

Darn it.

Minjun.

What on earth have you done?

Do you know how much she irritates me?

CSAT QUESTIONS SONG HAEUN

Even if I solved your workbook half-asleep, I'd still get top scores.

You're only a sophomore. Don't act up just because you're ahead.

I tried a mock CSAT at the cram school before.

It was super easy.

What a moron.

She treated me like I was a moron!

Without you...

Hey!

Come over here, Song Haeun.

Darn.

I told you to come here.

Hey, what are you doing? Are you insane?

Oh, my!

What if I fall down myself?

I'm going to say that you pushed me.

Will you be okay, loser?

You've lost it.

Darn.

But I have nothing to do with the dead baby. I'm not crazy!

You call that an excuse?

You're crossing the line here.

You have no evidence.

We have evidence. Go ahead.

I'm sorry for not asking for permission,

but we requested a DNA test

to find out who the biological father was.

Just a moment. She picked up.

Ms. Yun, it's me. Do you have the test result?

I got it just now.

Song Jaejun and Song Minjun are...

THEY ARE NOT A MATCH

...not the dead baby's father.

What?

See? I told you!

You're violating human rights here.

You crazy detective!

Lieutenant Jin Hogae, right?

I will not tolerate what happened today.

Mr. Song Minjun.

We need to investigate your assault more. Come with us to the station.

Please let him come voluntarily.

Why are you trying to take him?

He assaulted his sister and it must not be neglected.

Especially in a judge's family.

This false confession was made in coercion and threat!

It's inadmissible in court.

How dare you threaten him and cause this mess?

Stop being a hypocrite.

You don't need me in this family, anyway.

It'd be better for you if I disappear, going abroad or to jail!

What...

Haeun, what have you done?

What have you done?

You scare me now.

Please stop upsetting me!

Whatever!

Why you little...

Be honest. Who on earth is it?

Who is the father?

Calm down, sir.

You still won't talk?

I'd rather choose to die.

What has gotten into you two?

MISSING CHILD MISSING PERSON

EMERGENCY CODE ISSUED WHEN AN INFANT OR CHILD IS KIDNAPPED

INTEGRATED DETECTIVE TEAM

NEGATIVE

NEGATIVE

Darn it.

Oh, my.

What's with you?

You smashed the entire house just to restore it.

Do you even know how loud it is?

Sorry.

Is something wrong?

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate way to put it,

but fortunately, it wasn't done by Haeun's family members.

Then...

You already know.

I have to keep looking for her baby's father.

Confirmation bias.

Detectives should always be wary of that, but I failed once again.

FOCUSING ON INFORMATION THAT CONFIRMS ONE'S BELIEFS OR VALUES

What about Haeun? Hasn't she told you yet?

I'm not sure if this will be of help, but...

What is it?

When I went to meet her at the cram school,

I found out that Seungjun, who recently died,

went to the same cram school.

Something unfortunate happened here.

So we've had the door locked.

What was Mr. Oh Seungjun like?

He was very smart.

But his grades suddenly fell.

He was demoted to a lower class from Top Class, which caused a ruckus.

A ruckus over cram school tests?

Students here can be graded as level 5 even with a general score of 97.

And he was demoted from the invincible Top Class.

It excited other kids.

Why did his grades suddenly fall?

When students do better, there's one reason.

But their grades fall for many different reasons.

Did Seungjun and Haeun know each other?

We have an exclusive class for CSAT preparations

regardless of school and age.

They were both in Top Class, so of course, they took lessons together.

Oh Seungjun.

He was 18 like Haeun, and he was a junior at Taewon High.

On last May 23rd,

he fell from the rooftop of his math cram school and died.

What about his family?

His parents gave up their nationality the moment his funeral ended

and got their citizenship in Europe through investment.

They cut themselves off from their acquaintances

and went to Malta.

We can't trace them any further since they're not Korean citizens.

Isn't it a little too much to suspect him, because he went to the same cram school?

Haeun gave birth in September.

If we say she got pregnant in February,

it's not entirely impossible since the baby was stillborn prematurely.

We need Oh Seungjun's DNA to confirm this. Did you look into it?

I checked his funeral record, and they cremated his body.

There can't be any DNA samples left.

His father's an only child, so he has no relatives.

The dead boy's DNA sample.

It's got to be somewhere.

What are you talking about? They already cremated the body.

There we go with the Jindo Dog emergency again.

It's hopeless this time. I'd say it's more like a disease.

-A disease! That's it. -Geez, that startled me.

Hospitals are full of DNA samples. They even had my blood. Ahh!

General hospitals are scary.

Forget it. That high school kid couldn't have gotten a checkup.

I doubt they have his DNA sample.

You said Oh Seungjun called 1-1-9 a few times.

Was any of those calls for a medical emergency?

Yes, three years ago.

He suffered from abdominal pain in a study room.

He received an appendectomy at Taewon General Hospital.
