EPISODE 3

EVIDENCE

APRIL, 1997

Look at you two. Aren't you going to say hello?

You'll be living together now. You should get to know each other.

Hi.

I'm Jang Mi-ho in Class 7 of 4th grade.

I'm Oh Yu-jin in Class 11 of 4th grade.

What month were you born in, Yu-jin?

May.

That makes you the older sister.

Mi-ho, call her "Sis."

Don't push them. They will become close with time.

Okay.

Oh, right. I must go do my homework.

92

-What are you doing here? -Nothing.

Do you get scolded even with that score?

What do you care?

Do you want to switch with mine?

Forget it.

JANG MI-HO, SCORE: 100

Good job.

You never disappoint me.

What about you, Yu-jin? May I see what you got?

I threw my exam away.

I'm off to the supermarket.

I'll go with her.

Hey!

Wait up!

Wait up!

Why don't you ever call me "Sis"?

Why should I when we're the same age?

You're right.

Then just call me whatever you want.

Sis.

Is this right? Or is this right?

You can't even put on shoes by yourself?

Oh, right.

Please give her the Jjong Jjong hairstyle.

What's that?

Jjong Jjong hairstyle.

So what is that?

I need to know what it is to do it for you.

Stupid.

Only Mom knows how to do it.

Give her the Jjong Jjong hairstyle.

Jung-ah.

I feel so bad for Yu-jin. Oh, no!

I'm sure she's in a good place now.

Let's think that way.

CONDOLENCES

Yu-jin's girls and our kids go to the same kindergarten.

I am sorry for your loss.

We are heartbroken as well.

Thank you for coming.

More people are here than I thought.

I was worried people wouldn't come to keep this quiet.

How could this be quiet with all the news?

Who is she, sitting here as if she's a bereaved family member?

I heard that she's Yu-jin's sister.

Is she older or younger?

-Are you a friend? -No.

Ms. Oh Yu-jin won in the family photo event

that was held at our bank.

So I came to propose doing an advertisement with us.

What do you mean they're sisters?

Their parents were remarried.

When their parents got divorced, they didn't sort it out legally.

It looks like Yu-jin's father-in-law just found out about it.

Where are her parents? Why is her estranged sister there?

Her mother got remarried, so she lost touch with her.

And her father passed away.

I saw the father-in-law ask the sister to help out

so that the family space doesn't seem empty.

I hope Yu-jin's husband wakes up soon.

Those poor girls.

Their mom died so horribly.

Imagine how shocked they'll be when they grow up and learn the truth.

It's so heartbreaking.

REST IN PEACE JOEUN BANK

ROOM 8

My last picture with her.

I'll always remember you...

What are you doing on a day like this? You should all go home.

She came. I guess it did bother her a lot.

Like this?

That's not right.

I'll do it for you later.

-What... -Ms. Hwang...

Chief?

You should have a meal before you go.

No, it's okay. I was going to pay my respects and go anyway.

You haven't changed one bit.

What? Living a hectic life?

That's who I am.

Anyway,

what a small world.

I never imagined you were Yu-jin's sister.

When we were working at the same branch, you never mentioned it.

It's not something to brag about.

So I'd like to ask you to keep this...

Yes, sure.

I won't tell anyone.

Thank you.

This isn't an ordinary funeral.

So no one else at work knows besides me?

No, except my subordinate.

I used my reward vacation day for today too.

What did the police say?

Was she really murdered? Is there a suspect?

Why are the police keeping the investigation quiet?

That's why all kinds of rumors are spreading.

I don't know either.

So-won must be waiting for me.

I feel so bad for those poor things.

I know.

I'm really late now.

I wish we had reunited somewhere else. Bye.

Bye.

By the way, are you all right?

The culprit will be caught soon.

Take care of yourself too.

I will.

I'll get going now.

Can I talk to you briefly?

Not for too long. Just for about one or two months.

Even if their dad wakes up,

he'll have to stay in the hospital for a while.

I'm sorry, but I have a job too.

And one or two months isn't a short time.

They have a nanny too.

The nanny will stay only until the end of this week.

And it isn't easy to find a full-time nanny.

Besides, a blood-related kin is the best, right?

We're not blood-related.

And I believe I've done everything I'm obligated to do.

Come on.

Don't you feel bad for the girls?

I do.

But if I take in the girls only out of compassion

and give up later, you'd be in a bind.

Well, that's...

I believe that it is much better for me to honestly say that I can't look after them.

Besides, I don't really like kids.

If you have nothing more to say, I'll get going now.

Our real auntie left?

Yes.

SNS MARKETING TEAM

Hey, Seop Seop. Assistant Manager Jang Mi-ho...

I heard that she's the suspect in the Bannae-dong murder. Is it true?

What are you talking about? Who said that?

I heard that some detectives came by a few times.

What...

Even her messenger is turned off.

Unbelievable.

Maybe she was taken into custody to be questioned.

Stay out of it if you don't know.

Ms. Jang is the victim's sister,

so she took the day off to be at the funeral.

You don't know anything.

Sisters?

That's crazy.

Maybe they fought over the inheritance.

Hey, watch what you say.

Ms. Jang would never do that.

I'll kill you if you spread false rumors about her.

I'm exhausted.

All the blood stains are smudged and the only witness is unconscious.

We are working day and night, but I just can't figure out this case.

Here she comes.

It wasn't enough that you came to my work?

You confirmed everything.

We're just trying to figure out what happened that night,

weighing the different possibilities.

If you want to find her enemies, look elsewhere.

I have no reason to hurt Yu-jin after 18 years have passed.

One moment, Ms. Jang.

Do you remember now

what Ms. Oh Yu-jin said over the phone in your last call?

Please input...

The door is unlocked.

The investigation on the murder of a woman in her thirties

in a luxurious apartment still remains a mystery.

On the 5th at 9:00 p.m., in Bannae-dong...

OH YU-JIN

Help me.

"Help me."

"Save me"?

No one else can know.

Please delete it.

What did she mean?

She was found dead in the balcony,

and her husband who had been stabbed was taken to the hospital...

Even after coming home late last night, my husband is playing with our girls.

He won't let me come out of the cabana.

It's tough to be a good dad. There, there.

I'm so jealous, Yu-jin.
