The police
didn't find the phone Ji-hoon had been using.
SOO-BIN
Don't ever say you want to break up.
Do you have a death wish?
I'm going to kill myself.
I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF
It wasn't…
an accident.
SOO-BIN
Soo-bin.
Soo-bin…
Soo-bin.
Soo-bin, what…
Soo-bin…
SINCERITY
Is that you, Soo-bin?
-Soo-bin-- -It's me.
You were home.
What's the matter? What is it?
What's wrong, Hye-joo?
What do I do?
-What's wrong? -What do I do?
Yeo-jin, what do I do?
What's the matter?
Oh, right.
I heard a chief advisor was caught soliciting sex.
It was on the news.
Whose advisor was it? Anything on the group chat?
Not yet.
I hope it's not anyone from our party this time.
Mr. Jang, didn't you once cover a similar case when you were a reporter?
Do you remember who and which party?
That one? It was…
-Hello, sir. -Hello, sir.
-That was a long meeting. -Yes, it was.
HYEON YEO-JIN
Let's begin the meeting.
-Okay. -Okay.
The person you are trying to reach is…
NAM JOONG-DO
I'M IN A MEETING. I'LL CALL YOU BACK LATER.
Call me. It's urgent.
-Yeo-jin. -Yes?
Do you think Soo-bin left because she saw this?
Why else would she suddenly leave?
That can't be.
She couldn't have seen this.
Then why did she leave all of a sudden?
Yeo-jin.
Where do you think she is?
Do you think she went to a single mothers' shelter?
How can I find her? She doesn't even have a phone.
I…
I really need to find her.
I need to find out
what this is all about.
Get yourself together, Hye-joo.
Look.
Let's say we find her.
But when we do,
do you think you could believe what she says?
I couldn't.
Look at this.
They had a rocky relationship.
She was scared that you'd find out.
Hye-joo.
Let's not look for her.
I think that'd be best for everyone.
They obviously had a bad breakup.
Who knows what she'll say when we do find her?
No, Yeo-jin. She's still…
She's still the last person that Ji-hoon talked to.
SOO-BIN
What did they talk about
that he suddenly--
Hello?
Hello, ma'am. Are you not at the studio?
I'm here with my son, but it seems like no one is inside.
Welcome.
Mom.
Have you decided?
What will you do with the baby?
Mom.
Is that…
all you have to ask?
You acted the same way last time.
Do you even care about how I've been,
what I'm doing, or how I'm getting along?
Why don't you ask me those things?
Why?
You're pregnant?
Who's the father?
Do you not know who it is?
I know who the father is.
Hey, Mom.
Hi, Yun-seo.
Aren't you tired?
Ma'am.
Would you like a bag for 100 won?
Ma'am.
No. Just the reward points, please.
Here's my number.
Please look it up and give me my points.
Ma'am.
You forgot your purchase.
Your daughter shows up in 10 years and says she's pregnant,
but you weren't worried at all.
How could you not even ask me
if I'm doing okay
or if I'm feeling sick?
Talk to me.
But that lady…
Do you know what she said to me when I told her I'm pregnant?
By any chance, did Ji-hoon…
force you in any way without your consent?
She asked if it was consensual.
That's what she asked.
But you…
I gave you my number after I told you I was pregnant.
How could you not call once?
Did you know
that I kept this phone on in case you'd call?
What do you want me to do?
To take responsibility for leaving you as a child?
Or are you here to ask me to raise your baby?
Is that it?
I'd never ask you to do that.
Be happy with your new daughter.
Was it Yun-seo?
How do you know her name?
If you ever…
If you ever approach her or try to hurt her,
I will make you regret it.
Sure.
I don't know what I was expecting.
I won't bother you again.
Goodbye.
Soo-bin.
That lady you mentioned earlier.
Who is she?
Is she forcing you to do things you don't want for money?
What do you take me for--
Then who is she?
She's just a lady I know.
JICHEONG MIDDLE SCHOOL
That's why I was torn about
whether I should tell my mom
that my dad is cheating.
You should've told me sooner.
I had no idea.
I just thought you were being weird lately.
Sorry.
I feel much better now that I got it off my chest.
Stay strong.
Thanks.
I actually have a secret too.
What is it?
You can't tell anybody about this.
What?
Your brother's girlfriend showed up pregnant?
Yes.
I hate that she's living with us.
I understand.
Yes.
But I'm better off than you, right?
You have it worse. I mean, an affair…
It's so gross.
It's the worst.
As you can see, all the ripped pages
have been restored,
and all the stained pages have been cleaned up.
I hope you like it. Please take a look.
Okay.
Goodness.
Touch it. Isn't it so pretty?
It got a complete makeover.
-What is this? -It's a magpie.
A magpie flew into my arms in my dream when I became pregnant with you.
You still remember that?
How could I ever forget that?
Right. Her son is the same age as you.
What was his conception dream?
I think you may have told me, but I can't seem to remember.
I can't believe how brand new this looks. This is so incredible.
Right?
I'm nearby, so call me when your client leaves.
I'll come get you.
So…
you can't tell Ms. Kim
about this.
Okay?
Thank you so much for this.
I'll come again.
-Goodbye. -Thanks.
-I got it. -Okay.
What do you want to eat?
-Seolleongtang? -Sure.
-Are you okay with that? -I love it.
Hey, honey.
Is something wrong?
Honey.
Ji-hoon…
Honey, our Ji-hoon…
What's the matter?
Hye-joo!
She should try not to be stressed out for a while.
Okay. Thank you.
-What did they say? -She'll be okay
She was just really shocked.
I picked it up at her studio.
Thanks.
I'll stay with her.
You can go on home.
Okay.
Here's her bag.
Let me know when she wakes up.
Yeo-jin.
Please keep it a secret from Yoon-seo.
About what happened today and everything else.
All right. I will.
Thanks.
Hye-joo.
Honey.
Ji-hoon…
I'm sorry.
I didn't want you to know.
Sir,
please keep this a secret from my wife.
Whether he fell or walked into the water,
it's all the same to you.
If she hears about this,
she'll be crushed.
So just like the autopsy report suggests,
he has to have fallen due to intoxication.
But you know,
I think this could be good for us.
We can pin the blame for his death…
on that girl.
SEUNG-KYU'S DINING TABLE
We're closed for the day.
Excuse me.
Look at this.
I don't even know how they found the restaurant's social media page.
We lost the will to live after losing our son,
but we had to keep working to make ends meet.
Regardless,
I can't believe that couple
both took innocent lives.
That's actually…
why I'm here.
Let's
work together as victims
and make something happen.
Stay safe, Soo-bin.
Both you and your baby, okay?
I'm Ji-hoon's mom,
so I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the baby.
The fetus died, but it's still in your womb,
so you need surgery.
You can't tell Ms. Kim about this.
Hyeong-tae,
did the old man have good things to say?
I haven't reported back to him.
I don't know how she's related to Nam Joong-do.
If I'm not thorough, he'll give me an earful.
You fixed up the package you opened, right?
Come on. That's my specialty.
I'm positive that I've seen her before,
but I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe she's a call girl.
I think she's the dead son's girlfriend.
Judging by his conduct,
-his girl could have been one of those. -Don't be absurd.
I handpick my call girls.
She's not one of them.
Plus, I haven't seen one in a while with the election coming up.
I need to be careful.
I see.
Right.
About that girl…
Who?
Other than the police,
does anyone else know what really happened to Ji-hoon?
Woo-jae does.
Then honey.
Let's not tell Yoon-seo, okay?
Okay.
Why?
It was Seung-ho back then…
and now it's the medical student and Ji-hoon.
Why does this keep happening?
Ji-hoon is different.
He's not the same.
He might have made his share of mistakes,
but he didn't die to run from his crimes like the others.
So let's not torture ourselves thinking he was like the others.
Okay?
Here.
There are photos of Ji-hoon in there.
I looked at them in the study
whenever I missed him.
I'm sorry I kept you in the dark.
How come you haven't talked to that assemblyman yet?
I won't be able to relax until that land issue gets sorted out.
Mom, I'm home.
Why didn't you take your husband with you today?
Where have you been?
I had some errands to run.
Had Seung-ho been alive,
he would have easily taken care of all my headaches.
Mom.
What's the use of having a daughter and a son-in-law?
Jeez.
Let's work together as victims and make something happen.
They took not one, but two innocent lives.
Will you still let him go on living as an assemblyman?
Let's talk to the press or write something online--
No.
I just want this
to be over.
Ma'am,
I know how difficult it's been for you.
Had it not been for that assemblyman, your son would still be alive.
If you stop here, you'll regret this forever.
Just like my mom.
Actually,
there's a reason we want to end this.
We haven't told anyone,
but the cops told me after his funeral.
They said the girl
was a sex worker.
Apparently, that's how they met.
A sex worker?
It wasn't like…
he picked her up at a street corner.
She was a call girl.
We don't want people to find out.
That's why we don't want to pursue it any further.
Ki-young.
If a victim of illegal filming
turned out to have been a sex worker,
some people would say she brought it upon herself, right?
A sex worker?
I guess some people might react that way.
Although they shouldn't.
Why do you ask?
What?
No reason.
I was just wondering.
-Yeo-jin. -Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Mom, I'm hot.
If you hid Ji-hoon's phone out of concern for Hye-joo,
you should have deleted those texts beforehand.
She showed up here the day the police gave me the phone.
I thought the texts might be useful one day.
One of his texts failed to send.
I thought I might show it to her one day.
Goodness.
Were you planning to use the text against her?
I didn't feel good about it.
Imagine how I felt whenever Hye-joo told me to be nice to her.
Just by not showing her that text,
I was being as generous as I possibly could.
I did my best given the situation.
But I…
I didn't expect Hye-joo to open that drawer.
She usually doesn't touch my stuff in the study.
It was…
just a mistake.
Exactly.
If you were going to hide it,
you should have been more thorough.
What do you want me to do now?
Are you saying this is all my fault?
How's Ms. Kim doing?
She's doing okay.
The girl left the house.
It feels so weird to see you home at this hour.
-You don't like it? -Of course I do.
I love it.
-Dad. -Yes?
Are you taking the day off?
This is a first.
Actually, we're going to visit your brother today.
I wish I could go.
Take me with you next time. I miss him too.
All right. We'll go together next time.
-Hurry. You're going to be late. -Okay.
Mom and Dad, I'm off to school.
-Bye. -Okay. Bye.
Right.
My phone.
Hello?
Yes, this is Soo-bin's phone. Who is this?
Her boyfriend?
Are you the father of her child?

That's not true.
You've always been a good dad.
I'm always proud of you and grateful to you.
You have no witnesses or proof.
If you act rashly, Nam Joong-do will retaliate.
Let's talk to the press or write something online--
We don't want people to find out.
That's why we don't want to pursue it any further.

DEOKSUNG MILL
Ms. Cho.
People are bad-mouthing me
for still running the mill…
despite losing
my granddaughter.
But I have to support myself.
And I need to keep busy
to keep my mind off of her.
Was it this spring?
Sol told me
since she was making a lot of money through her part-time job,
I can stop working.
But…
had I listened to her back then,
I don't think…
I could have handled all of this.
I'm sure she's in a better place now.
Thank you.
Ms. Kim, thank you so much.
I'm thankful that someone like you
came to see her off.
And I'm grateful that someone who's busy as Assemblyman Nam
made time to come see her before sundown.
But didn't he stop by late at night--
No.
How could I forget someone wearing an assemblyman's badge?
Are you in?
Yes.
Goodness. You had a guest.
She's a very special guest.
Right. Give me a moment, ma'am.
It's okay. I should get going now.
All right.
Do you think Assemblyman Nam is okay?
He even took the afternoon off.
To be frank, I don't think he took enough time off
after what happened to his son.
He looks like he's completely fine, but there's no way he is.
I agree.
He didn't have time to grieve,
but the aftermath can be devastating.
I'm worried about him.
And about Ms. Kim.
PARK YEONG-SU, YBS REPORTER
Hey, Yeong-su.
-What? -I saw a post online.
The victim of the medical student case was a sex worker.
A sex worker?
MEDICAL STUDENT'S GIRLFRIEND WAS A CALL GIRL
DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THIS CASE?
NAM JOONG-DO IS DONE FOR
SHE WAS MY FRIEND'S CLASSMATE
DID NAM REALLY HAVE TO EXPOSE HIM?
These comments are just fantastic.
The nature of the post is quite provocative.
The girl everyone considered to be the innocent victim
turned out to be a sex worker.
It doesn't change the fact that she's a victim of a crime,
but it's only natural that people see her in a different light.
We need Namgoong Sol to propose the amendment, don't we?
How did you miss this?
I'm sorry, sir.
Nothing is going as planned!
I'm sorry.
I've got a lot going on.
I need some time to think.
Yes, sir.
What?
You gave my phone to a stranger?
Why would you do that?
He wasn't a stranger.
He called and said he was your boyfriend.
My boyfriend?
What did he look like?
I don't know.
A girl came to pick up your phone.
I thought you had sent your friend to pick it up.
But it was my phone…
Mom.
You didn't say much to the guy, did you?
Like what?
You didn't tell him that I was pregnant, did you?
Did you?
What am I, crazy?
It's nothing to be proud of.

You don't want a stranger using it.

We haven't been on a date ever since you came back.
JI SEUNG-KYU'S FATHER
Excuse me.
Hello?
What?
It wasn't me. I didn't post it.
Don't lie to me!
You were the only one we told.
They're bad-mouthing my son again!
Sir, it really wasn't me.
I'm going to sue you.
Hello?
Sir.
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
Well done.
Well done indeed.
Thank you, sir.
About that girl.
Who?
The girl you used to go to.
The call girl from Sangsu.
You haven't seen her in a while, right?
No. What about her?
She died.
What?
She died? Why?
Remember that medical student who killed himself
after Nam Joong-do called him out on TV?
He was also a client of hers.
He threatened to leak a sex video of her.
That's why she committed suicide.
I bet Nam Joong-do is quite ticked off right now.
That's why this is the best time
to blackmail him with his wife's past
and tell him to stop digging around the real estate speculation.
Yes, sir.
Let's keep an eye on public opinion for a couple more days,
and then arrange a meeting with Nam Joong-do.
Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
It's okay. You can pick it up.
Yes, sir.
What is it?
What?
Posted what?
Hey.
Yoon-seo.
What?
Someone posted this to our group chat.
Isn't this…
your dad?
ASSEMBLYMAN GETS BEATEN UP BY SEX-SOLICITING MED STUDENT'S FATHER
Answer me!
You killed my son!
Let me go!
-Hello. -Hey.
The internet is going crazy over the video of Assemblyman Nam.
What perfect timing.
I know, right?
It definitely helped
cover up the news about a chief advisor soliciting sex.
When I saw the news, I was worried you might be involved again.
But I guess that was a long time ago.
You don't do that anymore, right?
Mind your own business.
And just worry about that girl living at Assemblyman Nam's place.
Yes, sir.
You want five million won for a scratch on your bumper?
If you don't want to,
I could tell the reporters about a chief advisor's drunk car accident.
What? Are you blackmailing me?
Why would I give you money when you crashed into my car?
Do you not want to?
Should I call in some reporters then?
And tell them about your call girls?
-Bye. -I'll call you.

Honey, Woo-jae is calling.
Can you take it for me?
Hello?
Hey, how are you?
He's just washing up.
Do you want me to put him on?
That's okay. I'll speak to him tomorrow.
Actually, Ms. Kim.
Do you mind if I stop by for a minute?
I'm sorry to bother you this late.
No, don't be. You should be getting home to rest.
I almost feel bad inviting you in.
Not at all.
These are the items I told you about over the phone.
They're the dashcam and items in your former vehicle.
I've been meaning to give them to Assemblyman Nam
but I forgot about it.
I was going to go after I dropped these off.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Not at all. Thank you.
-Come in. -Okay.
-Hello. -How have you been?
-The stew is almost done. -Okay.
-Hey. -Sir.
How?
How could you go there?
How dare you go there?
Get out of here.
Get out of my sight right now.
Did you know that Assemblyman Nam visited the assailant's mother?
What did you just say?
He visited her at the hospital when she was hospitalized.
He's using you.
My granddaughter died because of their son!
Were you that worried about his parents?
Were you?
Ma'am.
How could you betray me like this?
Goodness. My poor baby.
Ms. Cho.
If you were using Sol to your advantage,
I will not let you get away with this.
Stay here.
Ms. Cho,
There was no other intention in my visit to the hospital.
-I simply went there as a parent who-- -Stop making excuses!
Leave.
And don't ever come back here.
Ms. Cho.
Why is nothing going right?
Didn't I advise you not to go to the hospital?
Everything a politician does sends out a message.
Please do not try to explain your intentions ever again.
Regardless of your reasons, if the victim's family is offended,
you're at fault no matter what.
All right.
I get it. You can stop talking about it.
Is that you, Yoon-seo?
Come in.
What's the matter?
Are you sick?
Mom.
What's wrong?
Did something happen on your way home?
No.
Mom.
Dad…
Dad got…
He got beaten up.
How dare you come here?
You have no right to come here, you murderer!
I wish you'd stop using the media
to make a bigger issue out of this.
Please stop this.
I'm begging you.
Were you that worried about his parents?
Were you?
You're still up?
Honey.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea what you were going through,
and I…
I'm really sorry, honey.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere?
Why didn't you tell me? I had no idea.
I see you every day and I still didn't know.
I'm okay.
It didn't hurt at all.
I'm completely fine.
Don't cry.
I'm really fine.
What's wrong?
-That's where it hurts, isn't it? -It's nothing.
-Let me see. -I'm okay.
-Let me see! -I'm really okay--
I'm all right.
I'm sorry.

Soo-bin isn't exactly a good girl.
Don't ever meet or talk to that kid again.
Does she have anything else on you?
That's what it feels like to be betrayed by someone you trust.
