The Road: The Tragedy of One (더 로드: 1의 비극)

It looks like he won't talk until his lawyer's here.

Darn it.

He's used to this. He trusts his family has his back.

See how he isn't even anxious?

No news from Choi Se Ra?

We put out a notice for her.

Someone will find her.

Hi.

I'll be right there.

I have to visit a site.

Call me as soon as you arrest Choi Se Ra.

- Hurry. There's not much time. - Okay.

Young Shin. Call the team.

Okay.

What?

Okay, see you.

Darn it!

He waited to get used to the dark.

The plan was to kill him.

Who are you?

Shoot.

It's him. The real killer.

He could've just taken the evidence.

Why take the risk to kill Seong Hwan?

He couldn't let him live because he'd seen his face.

Seong Hwan and the killer have met before.

Darn it.

It was just once. It was a mistake!

Stop acting all high and noble.

How are you different from me?

Check Park Seong Hwan's parked car.

Okay.

- Get the camera footage. - Okay.

The rest, with me.

- Okay. - Got it.

I think he took the emergency stairs and back door.

- Darn it. - Shoot.

My gosh.

If you thought something was on the dashcam,

you should've called me.

I thought I should check it first.

You said you last saw him ten years ago.

How did you know where he lives?

Don't waste time. See you downstairs.

Two people you know have died in less than three days.

I don't know what you're hiding,

but you'll have to talk one day.

I should.

Just not now.

Before that, I need to check something with you.

About Jun Yeong...

I think we should postpone the exhibition.

Yes. Royal the Hill is the backdrop,

and I find it hard to focus.

A lot of shocking things have happened.

Thank you for being understanding.

Okay. I'll call you soon.

Hi.

Do you still have Jun Yeong's things?

Bring them to me now.

(Autopsy Report, Section Chief Shim Seok Hoon)

(Cerebral edema, likely related to medication)

How did it go?

Did you meet Seong Hwan?

No. He was just found dead.

What do you mean?

Tell me before you're questioned.

What did you see and hear?

Who killed him?

Do you have any idea?

I said he was dead.

I didn't say he was murdered.

Let's talk in person.

Company building roof at 8:25am.

I took a look at the footage,

and I found out there are a lot of people I need to meet.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Is this everything?

Should there be...

something else?

Of course, not.

For either you or me.

- Let's talk. - Later.

Or at the third-day rite tomorrow.

What is it? Calm down.

Did Park Seong Hwan contact you?

Did he call you?

Yes, he did.

He had intel for sale. That was all.

How much did he know about us?

A dangerous amount.

That stalker creep.

We'll just silence him.

He won't blab until he gets what he wants.

He can't even if he wants to.

He died.

Was he murdered?

They don't know who did it yet?

I never said he was murdered.

Chief. You were caught on his dashcam, weren't you?

What did you do that day at Royal the Hill?

Are you a secret eyewitness like Park Seong Hwan?

Is that it?

I can't say anything else, so don't ask.

Chief.

Seo Young. I'm going to the Blue House.

It has been decided.

Have I been barking up the wrong tree?

No.

If RIU finds something,

you'll be in the same boat.

Don't worry about RIU.

I'll take care of it.

And then?

I'll give you what comes next.

Even the Blue House?

So...

be smart.

Okay?

I'll give you what comes next.

So...

be smart.

Yes, Captain. I'll fill you in when I get back.

Check back there.

Okay.

The case was transferred to us.

Update me once we get the evidence analysis.

Request assistance and check Park Seong Hwan's cloud drives.

There must be a motive somewhere.

Request his cell phone records and location information.

Okay. Also, we can exclude Baek Soo Hyun's fingerprints...

and footprints, right?

We confirmed the security footage and the time of death.

Okay. Keep up the good work.

I'm coming. Where are you?

He kept checking his phone.

I think he was getting notifications...

of the killer accessing his laptop.

He may have used that as bait to lure Seong Hwan in.

This is all we have.

There are no cameras by the emergency exit.

I think he used the blind spot by the back door to get out.

Either he scoped out the place...

or he knew the layout from before.

What's the last location from the car navigation system?

What are you still hiding?

It's unrelated to the case.

That's for me to decide. You were at the scene of a murder.

In the home of the suspect you claimed you couldn't reach.

You'd be the prime suspect if we followed the rules.

If you suspect me, investigate me. I'll oblige gladly.

That's not what I mean!

Weren't we cooperating? Weren't we working together?

The blackmailers have a clear motive.

Money, reinstatement... They have one objective.

But why did the guy who asked you and Ms. Cha to get him reinstated...

go to Chairman Seo?

He has nothing to do with his reinstatement.

Unless he's hiding something else.

Something else?

That's why you're more suspicious.

Every time you hide something, a body shows up.

Even now. Like back then!

The blackmailers have a clear motive.

Money, reinstatement... They have one objective.

He has nothing to do with his reinstatement.

Unless he's hiding something else.

You lost a lot of weight in just a day.

Did you get home safely?

I need to dig into something.

What did you and Seong Hwan talk about?

You're so unusual. Why do you want to dig into that?

Let's not do that to each other anymore.

If you give me honest answers.

I will.

In exchange,

pull up my interview by a day.

Why?

A presently active reporter was murdered.

And tomorrow, there will be reports about drugs,

doubts regarding the kidnapping,

and slush funds, one after the other.

By then, I would've been forgotten.

You won't lose the spotlight, is that it?

I'm too young to be yesterday's news.

But more than that...

If I'm forgotten, so will Jun Yeong.

I'll do that.

That was lame.

My turn. Tell me everything you know.

Why did Seong Hwan try to see Chairman Seo?

I don't know the details either.

I only saw him shake the dashcam, not the actual video.

But...

he was confident that if Chairman Seo saw the video,

he'd buy up the studio if necessary to give him a position.

It has something...
