EPISODE 7

Have you all eaten?

What about you?

I just keep getting thirsty.

- I missed you two too. - I missed you too.

Let's give them some time and sit further back.

Come with me.

We still have some time until we get there. Take a nap.

I won't go anywhere.

MEETING ROOM

Kwak Song Ja?

I don't think there's a victim by that name.

Didn't you ask me something like this before?

- It was Han... - No, it's nothing.

What happened to Kim Jin Ho?

He killed himself.

He came for the outpatient clinic,

then threw himself off from the rooftop of the hospital.

But are you sure he killed himself?

We're sure.

Our forensics team are done investigating,

and they've finished analyzing the handwriting of his will too.

Where's the hospital?

A hospital for inmates. Seoul Dongcheon Hospital.

The court will close the case for dismissal of the indictment.

And the articles will be returned.

I understand.

Mr. Kim.

If anything happens, don't agonize over it by yourself.

You can call me anytime.

It's kind of odd for me to tell you this,

but I'm also a dad who has a daughter.

I can connect with what happened...

to Kim Jin Ho and you.

Turn yourself in this instant.

If you do, I'll try my best to plead for a lighter punishment.

So please turn yourself in.

I already rely on you quite a lot.

Thank you.

YUJUNG BUILDING 172 DONGHA-RO, JUNGAN-GU, SEOUL

The tracked vehicle has just left Yujung Constructions.

YUJUNG BUILDING

The location tracker is still on.

Mom, we need to talk.

About what?

You have a lot to tell me.

May we do that tomorrow?

I'm too tired.

Why did you leave the hospital?

Why did you disappear without a word?

Where did you get that money in your account?

Ae Ri, I'm not feeling well today.

I'll tell you everything tomorrow.

How are you feeling ill?

I'll be fine once I get some sleep.

HAN AE RI

Ms. Han, have you found your mother?

Yes, I met her today thanks to your help.

I was arrested for murdering your mother,

but the situation has changed.

You saved me too, Ms. Han.

Wait, then did Lee Taek Gyu blame what he did on you?

You have to catch him.

If you don't, my mom will fall in danger again.

Thankfully, the location tracker I put on him came back.

I'll track him down right away if he does anything suspicious.

Have you met with Kim Jin Ho?

Did he say anything?

Kim Jin Ho...

killed himself.

To sum it up, after you found your mother,

the only thing that changed is how Lee Taek Gyu didn't kill anyone.

Did your mother tell you about her relationship...

with Yujung Constructions?

No, not yet. She's very tired, so...

Kim Jin Ho killed himself?

If the tracker is still there,

I can see where Lee Taek Gyu has been.

RAIN VILLE, FRESH MILL MART 24

YUJUNG BUILDING, SEOUL DONGCHEON HOSPITAL

Seoul Dongcheon Hospital.

Where's the hospital?

A hospital for inmates. Seoul Dongcheon Hospital.

SEOUL DONGCHEON HOSPITAL

He was there.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

- Are you up? - Mom!

- Mom! - Goodness.

What's gotten into you?

There's nothing in the fridge.

What were you eating while I was gone?

You're old enough...

to cook for yourself.

I thought you had left again.

Let me know when you need to go somewhere.

You were sound asleep, so I didn't wake you up.

Don't cry.

Let's go inside and eat.

Let's have a simple breakfast.

I should make some side dishes.

Let's go grocery shopping together.

No, let's go to the hospital first.

Have you been taking your medication?

Of course, I have.

You should eat up.

Your face has become even thinner. It breaks my heart.

Don't you know I lost weight...

because I was worried sick about you?

I like this.

Like what?

Just seeing you smile makes me happy.

I was going...

to ask you so many questions throughout the night.

But just looking at you makes me happy already.

Ask me.

I'll answer all of your questions.

Then...

promise me you'll tell me the truth.

Why did you leave the hospital all of a sudden?

I'm sorry about not telling you. I was wrong.

But I had my reasons.

You know I received a lot of money recently, right?

Yes.

Your father had a sizable land in the countryside.

I didn't think anyone would buy it, so I didn't think much of it.

But they were going to develop the area, so I sold it.

That's where the money came from.

If that wasn't dirty money,

why did you suddenly disappear and hide?

People always find out when you get a lot of money...

and ask you for some. That's why I hid.

I was going to come back once the dust settled.

I didn't tell you...

because I was worried they'd pester you.

Then why did Kim Jin Ho look for you?

You disappeared out of the blue after meeting with him.

You don't know...

how Dad died, do you?

It was an accident.

Yujung Constructions was building a building in Taejung,

and it collapsed.

But that man...

knew I had lost your dad during that accident and visited me.

He said he was also in pain because of Yujung Constructions...

and asked for my help.

But there was nothing I could do to help.

What about Lee Taek Gyu?

What's your relationship with him?

He was the one who had sent you that money.

He works at Yujung Constructions.

What?

What are you saying? He must've had the same name.

Lee Taek Gyu is the name of the man who bought that land.

Are you really telling me the truth?

Ae Ri, let's go to the hospital and the market tomorrow.

Today, how about we visit your dad?

SEOUL DONGCHEON HOSPITAL

SEOUL DONGCHEON HOSPITAL

POLICE LINE, DO NOT CROSS

He limped, yet he climbed over this while his hands were cuffed?

There's a news article about Kim Jin Ho's suicide.

THERE'S A NEWS ARTICLE ABOUT KIM JIN HO'S SUICIDE.

"JUNGDONG DETENTION CENTER INMATE WHO VISITED A HOSPITAL..."

"LEAVES A SUICIDE NOTE AND KILLS HIMSELF"

That scumbag...

HAN TAE GIL, 41, MALE, BANYOUNG CONSTRUCTIONS

I'm sorry, honey.

HAN TAE GIL, 41, MALE, BANYOUNG CONSTRUCTIONS

I'm sorry for coming so late.

Are you okay?

It's been 19 years.

But it still feels like it was yesterday.

I should've bought some flowers.

There must be a flower shop nearby, right?

Stay here. I'll be right back.

Will you?

I won't take long.

Hello.

Do you sell condolence flowers?
