- Hello, sir. - Yeah.

You're going to stare a hole through it.

I won't test you, so take it easy.

It's going to be a long haul, so brace yourself.

Sir, this...

What, what is it?

Oh, that case.

The case where a dad was murdered on Christmas night,

right in front of his daughter.

"He abused his wife and child,

and eventually stabbed his wife to death with a soju bottle."

"Then, seven years after his release, he tried to kill his daughter?"

The part about the daughter was never made public.

She was still a minor at the time,

and she may have been a witness.

A witness?

She saw Kingfisher?

If she had, do you think we'd still have zero leads?

Well, you never know.

Maybe she really didn't see anything, or maybe she's keeping quiet.

Oh, the daughter's name was 'Oh' something.

Are you crazy?

What are you...

So you really don't want me to die, do you?

The only witness to one of Kingfisher's shootings.

The only child I ever revealed myself to.

It's been a while, Oh Seung Ah.

Merry Christmas, Yoo Bo Na!

Where's my present?

Santa Claus will bring you one.

Yeah, right. Like he'd ever do that.

You never know.

He's said to have a very clear sense of right and wrong.

I don't think he's got a present for you either.

You're a terrible boss for making me work on a day like this.

It's not like you've got plans.

Do you have friends? A partner? Family?

Yet here you are, all by yourself.

But it's all romance comics, huh?

Seeing someone these days?

Go home early. Kids are waiting.

Will a punk who's meant to die not die just because you delay it a few days?

He might kill someone first.

But isn't it possible he's changed?

Still, he's her dad.

I know, questioning one more time and never giving up hope until the end.

That's how you do things.

If you want to watch a little longer, do it.

Just don't miss your chance.

It's cold. Take some hand warmers.

I'm off.

would be the last day of my life."

"It would be my last Christmas."

I thought I'd never see this again.

Whether I died or killed him.

Right, that's probably why.

I heard your heart.

Do you want a Christmas present?

Then no crying.

You have to be good.

I heard that Santa is very clear about right and wrong.

Miss, who are you?

Leave the living room window slightly open when you get home.

See you again.

what on earth are you doing?

Why would you reveal your face like that?

Does she think she's Santa or something?

She doesn't even know what I wished for.

I prayed to just let me die quickly instead.

to save me from hell.

Right at that moment...

God really appeared.

The reason I came back.

The reason I do this.

Hoping to save even just one person.

someone might be safe.

You knew all along.

You knew everything from the start, but why...

Because I was disappointed.

I just wanted that child to be happy

and live a normal life like everyone else,

but that wasn't how things turned out.

I didn't like your choice.

I...

I wanted to be like you.

I wanted to stand beside you someday,

so I've been working myself to death until now with just that one dream.

You shouldn't have.

You should've followed your own path.

A safe, bright one.

You told me we'd meet again.

What?

See you again.

No, I just meant I hoped you'd stay safe...

I don't know about that, but anyway, take responsibility.

Me?

You're still such a kid, huh?

What are you?

It was the gift I had desperately wished for.

You were my Santa,

the savior of my life.

So take responsibility.

And yet you drugged my husband?

It wasn't poison. Just a sleeping pill.

Would Kingfisher fall for something like that?

I know it was a sleeping pill, okay?

Then why bring a gun?

The bullets were real too.

You actually fired it!

Because you messed with someone you never should have.

What an idiot...

You've really been working hard, huh?

So it was from this point on?

You didn't like my choice either?

About six years ago...

I saw you by chance.

Honey!

I recognized you instantly.

for a single day after that.

It felt like there was a hole in my chest.

The woman who'd been my god and heroine

had become just an ordinary, fragile person.

So you're more like an anti-fan.

So?

I want to bring you back.

Back to the old Kingfisher, the woman I used to know.

So you're an idiot after all.

I think I told you.

You made your choice, and I respected it.

Even if I didn't like it, it was your life.

I only did what I had to do.

How you live with it afterward is up to you.

But Kingfisher...

You seem to be mistaken about something.

If I were your savior,

the man who saved Kingfisher was Kwon Tae Seong.

It was him.

That guy...

saved your life?

He saved something even greater.

I received an even greater gift.

It's Yoo Bo Na!

Honey, do you know where we are now?

A cafe...

Never thought I'd get a call telling me to pick up my husband from a cafe

because it was closing.

What is going on?

Oh, my!

Did I fall asleep? What? Why?

But when did I fall asleep?

It's nighttime already!

Our date...

Well, it's all over for today.

What are you going to do about this?

I'm sorry. I'll...

I'll do the dishes for a month. I'm really sorry.

You think that'll make up for it?

No?

I'll also take Yul to daycare every morning for a month.

I'm really sorry.

Okay, I'll accept that.

And you'll read Yul a bedtime story every night for a month.

Okay, okay. Deal.

- Okay? - Yeah.

- Good. - I'm really sorry.

I ruined our precious time together.

Really, I'll really make it up to you. Double, I'll really make it up double.

What are we going to do about this?

Honey, I'm so embarrassed. Let's get out of here.

Se Ah keeps calling. Get up, now.

Are you okay?

- I'm okay. - Can you walk?

Yeah.

If what I fed him was really poison, I'd have died by your hand, right?

Director.

If you get caught calling me like that at work too, seriously...

you're really going to die, okay?

At work too...

At work too...

See you at work?

Is family really worth risking your life for?

- Heave-ho! - Wow!

Mom, I'm hungry.

Yul, are you hungry?

It's time for Yul to eat, isn't it?

Since we're already out, should we eat out before going home?

Honey, your mom's radish kimchi is perfectly fermented.

It's because I thought you might be tired.

You said that because you were worried I'd be tired?

Yeah.

Honey, look at the flowers. Aren't they pretty?

- You're prettier. - Really?

- Yeah. - Is Mommy prettier than flowers?

- Yeah! - Really?

That was the wrong question.

It's not about risking my life.

My family is my life.

So in the end, he saved one person.
