Post by bunniefuu »

Hey!

Hmm?

Where's Mucheon Garden?

Have some spicy rice cakes.

MUCHEON HIGH SCHOOL

Please come back home. I beg you.

There's no way I'll let you

go to prison.

So come home.

Let's work this out together.

I guess you're scared because

I got mad.

Goh Jeong-woo

SONGHAK REST AREA

Hey!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Hey!

Is anyone there?

Wake up!

Hey

Tell me where Da-eun is!

You need to tell me before you die!

Why is everyone

dying without saying anything?

Wake up!

- Put your hands up!

- Where is Da-eun?

Get away from him!

Lower your g*ns! Lower them.

Who are you?

I'm from Mucheon Police Station.

I'm Team Head Noh Sang-cheol.

Lower your g*ns.

Hey, drink some water.

Drink.

You contacted Park Hyeong-sik directly?

Jeong-woo,

I understand how you feel.

I totally get it 100%.

But when Park Hyeong-sik

arranged to meet you,

he had sent a suicide note via text

to Ye Yeong-sil and journalists.

What?

But doesn't this seem too scripted?

The dead can't speak.

But they do have their last words.

Autopsy.

Great work.

How can I thank you?

Governor,

I don't know what title is the best

or how to advance my career.

If I can just be given the opportunity

to work as a police public servant

until my retirement,

I'll do my absolute best.

There are no positions in Suwon.

But I can promise you the position of

chief of investigations in Uijeongbu.

That's after you become

the superintendent general first.

Looks like I'll have to work

a bit harder.

Thank you.

Oh, gosh.

Gosh.

Huh?

Oh, my goodness!

We've just received news

that the director

of Mucheon Sarang Hospital,

Park Hyeong-sik, has passed away.

Just leave that to the police

and get treated.

Geez.

His hand is a mess right now.

Can he get some treatment?

It's too late right now.

You need to head to the emergency ward.

Oh, aren't you Ms. Jeong Geum-hee's son?

Yes.

You should head to her room right now.

She's

Amidst the shock and sadness,

we've confirmed

she temporarily suspended

her campaign activities.

What happened?

Here spasms are too irregular

to say that they're

temporary for the moment.

We'll need to watch over her for now.

But I think you can look forward

to her waking up.

Thank you.

Okay, take care.

Though you made the wrong choice,

I don't want to resent

the difficult choice you made, honey,

after a long period

of suffering and reflection.

Is it okay to add "honey" in there?

"My husband" sounds too distant.

And saying just "you"

doesn't sound emotional enough.

I think it's okay to add more

of your personal feelings

in the speech today.

Okay then. That part in the middle.

"I'm to blame for not being

able to convince you otherwise."

Let's just edit that part.

Yes, ma'am.

I think it's good that I listened to you

and didn't go out to say it myself.

You should hurry.

Lots of journalists are waiting outside.

What is it?

What?

Okay. Where is it?

What do you mean by that?

You said you were at the scene.

Yes. But there's something

that's really suspicious.

Return to the station immediately.

Yes, Chief.

It's the police chief!

When did you start investigating

Director Park Hyeong-sik?

You said there was

no evidence at the time.

What was the key piece of evidence?

Reports say that Choi Na-gyeom

witnessed the m*rder.

Will you be questioning her again?

Please step down first.

I'll take questions one at a time.

Are you admitting to your negligence

as the investigator in charge

at the time of the incident?

Well, I am closely monitoring

the situation

and I'm doing my best.

Next?

You were very close, not only

with the victims but the culprits

- of this incident

- Very close?

Yes, that's correct.

I've lived my entire life here,

so they were very close to me.

So are you asking if I went

easy on them because,

I was acquainted with them

and turned a blind eye?

If that is indeed what you are asking,

let me ask you this.

If that was how I carried out

the investigation,

how could my best friend's son,

who was like a son to me,

have suffered such injustice?

Don't you agree?

Look, I'm not avoiding your questions.

But this investigation is ongoing,

so for at least a few days

No, just a few hours

Let's not focus on my mistakes

but allow the deceased

to depart in peace.

That is all.

Is this connected to

Congresswoman Ye Yeong-sil?

Let's end it here.

What did Congresswoman Ye Yeong-sil say?

Thank you.

Chief!

Geez.

- What about the investigation?

- Chief Hyun, had nothing to say.

- Then what about this?

- Oh my.

Why was Goh Jeong-woo there?

Huh?

How did he get there before you?

Please explain.

Jeong-woo arranged to meet

Director Park at the rest area.

And when Jeong-woo arrived,

Director Park was already dead.

What do you think?

So Park Hyeong-sik

didn't commit suicide?

There might be something else?

So we must conduct an autopsy.

- That way

- We need the autopsy.

Yeah, an autopsy might

reveal something more.

I'll get going then.

It's Chief Hyeon Gu-tak.

Should I pick up?

I'm surprised

you're calling me directly.

I don't know what words

of comfort to offer.

Thank you.

We were on the same boat

until you abandoned it.

But I need to ask you for one favor.

Congresswoman, I didn't abandon ship.

It's just that the boat I trusted

changed course without warning.

Chief,

you're being a bit too blunt

to a recent widow.

My apologies.

Enough of that.

They say he had severe depression

and was using some medication.

He died alone and in a pitiful way.

Please allow me

to remember him in peace.

I understand what you mean.

Once again, my deepest condolences.

Yes.

PLAQUE OF APPRECIATION

MUCHEON POLICE CHIEF HYEON GU-TAK

PRESENTED BY CONGRESSWOMAN

YE YEONG-SIL ON OCT. 2, 2017

MUCHEON SARANG HOSPITAL

Mom.

Mom?

Mom, can you see me?

It's me, Jeong-woo.

Are you able to breathe comfortably?

Fortunately, there seem

to be no aftereffects

from the traumatic subdural hemorrhage.

And it seems her cognitive abilities

have returned.

It must've been hard for her,

but it seems

she endured it well on her own.

However, she has suffered

significant muscle loss,

so she'll need lots of

physical rehabilitation.

A whole lot.

Thank you.

All the best.

Your face is

quite haggard.

Mom.

Did you find it?

They're reopening my case.

I found Bo-yeong.

But I haven't found Da-eun yet.

I think I'll be able to find her soon.

Who did it?

You've worked so hard.

MUCHEON POLICE STATION

Choi Na-gyeom,

you will be transferred

to the detention center.

And the advertisers

will claim penalties.

- The reporters

- Call Jeong-woo for me.

Please call Jeong-woo.

Please?

I said to call Jeong-woo!

Please call Jeong-woo!

Even now

Jeong-woo!

- Wrap it up.

- Yes.

This is our last move, Congresswoman.

Candidate No. 3, to be the next

governor of Gyeonggi-do!

Let's go.

Introducing Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

CENTER OF UNITY AND COOPERATION

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Su-oh.

STAY STRONG, YE YEONG-SIL

Last night,

I stood alone on this stage.

Wondering whether to withdraw

my candidacy,

and how to face my respected citizens

here today.

I wanted to give up everything.

- No, you can't.

- No, you can't.

When my husband of many years

texted me his suicide note,

the sorrow and despair

of possibly losing him

But before all those feelings,

what came first for me

was the fear and responsibility

that the truth of what happened

11 years ago might not be revealed

because of my husband's wrongful choice.

Some things changed.

Jeong-woo's back.

I'm going to tell Jeong-woo

about everyone who harassed you.

I will protect you until the very end.

So don't worry about anything.

And stay here.

I will protect you no matter what.

Su-oh.

Hyeon Su-oh.

Su-oh! Are you in there?

Open this door.

What is this place?

As a member of the National Assembly

for this region,

who should have monitored the

incompetent and inhumane investigation

carried out by the police 11 years ago,

I bear infinite responsibility.

If I had criticized

the police's wrongdoing.

And strived for justice,

my husband would have seen me

and built up the courage

to confess his crimes.

So do not forgive me.

What's this place?

Please don't hurt Da-eun.

Da-eun?

Stop!

Let go!

Why is Da-eun here?

Are you crazy?

Why are you doing this?

What's going on?

Su-oh.

Tell me everything.

What are you saying?

What are you talking about?

Let go of me!

What's wrong with you?

Stop hurting her!

Stop hurting

Su-oh!

Su-oh!

Su-oh!

DIAL

Hold on a second.

Why is Park Da-eun's body here?

I worked so hard to cover it up.

So why?

With the promise I kept

Seeing the citizens of Mucheon

who are living

a safe and prosperous life

from the western shore

all the way to the northern edge,

I promised that you would

live good lives.

So regardless of whether

I would be stoned or cursed,

I knew I had to keep that promise

for your futures

- Don't cry! Don't cry!

- Don't cry! Don't cry!

Don't cry! Don't cry!

What do you want to say?

I lost my father too.

Maybe that's why I don't care anymore.

Or perhaps I finally do care.

I don't know exactly what the reason is.

But there's one thing you don't know.

I called you to tell you that.

The chief.

Geon-oh's father

told the three of us to go

to Geon-oh's house.

It wasn't just my father and

Byeong-mu's father who were there.

Hyeon Gu-tak

is the one that ordered everything.

We just did as we were told.

He told us what to do

during the police questioning.

He's who sent us off to military service

as soon as you were imprisoned.

And when your father's assets

were being sorted,

he's the one that schemed

and divided everything.

It was all

Hyeon Gu-tak's doing.

He was the one who told me

to pin everything on Byeong-mu.

I will sacrifice myself

for the good of our community.

For the prosperity of the community,

I will become a governor

who sacrifices herself!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil!

Ye Yeong-sil! Ye Yeong-sil!

MUCHEON GARDEN

It wasn't just my father and

Byeong-mu's father who were there.

Hyeon Gu-tak

is the one that ordered everything.

We just did as we were told.

I'll get off here.

- Jeong-woo, Jeong-woo.

- Su-oh.

Jeong-woo.

Jeong-woo.

Jeong-woo, please help me.

What's wrong? What happened?

Da-eun.

- Da-eun

- Su-oh.

- Why are you talking about Da-eun?

- Please save Da-eun, Jeong-woo

- Come to your senses

- Please rescue Da-eun, Jeong-woo.

Where is Da-eun?

My house

Your father's at home, right?

Yeah.

Uncle!

What are you doing?

Jeong-woo.

Is that Da-eun?

Jeong-woo.

You know that Su-oh is sick.

You feel sorry for him too.

After I lost Geon-oh

I can't let Su-oh be taken too.

So listen to me carefully.

If you and I just pretend

we didn't see anything,

everything will be alright.

Let's do that.

You and I will cremate Da-eun.

You knew all along.

That I didn't k*ll Bo-yeong or Da-eun.

You knew everything!

But how could you do this to me?

How could you do this to my family?

I don't know what you've heard,

but it's not like that.

Min-su told me everything.

He said you were the mastermind

behind everything.

At first, I didn't intend for things

to turn out like this.

And it wasn't all me either.

Geon-oh was there on the day

of that incident.

And I thought Geon-oh did it.

That's the truth.

I'm his father.

So I had to protect him.

I can do anything to protect Geon-oh.

But then Da-eun suddenly disappeared.

And if you were the culprit

If you had k*lled Da-eun

Everything would be resolved.

That's all there is to it.

If I have anything

to apologize to you for

It's that for the past 10 years,

I really hoped you were

the one who k*lled Da-eun.

For that, I am sorry.

Aren't you sorry to my family?

My dad believed you

and was convinced that his son

was a m*rder*r.

My mom had her world taken from her

and had to endure torment

for 10 long years!

Didn't you ever feel sorry for them?

Tell me! Didn't you?

As if you'd be sorry

Let's just end this already.

Uncle

Don't come in here!

- Da-eun! Da-eun! Da-eun!

- No!

- Da-eun! Da-eun!

- Su-oh!

- Da-eun! Da-eun!

- Su-oh!

Da-eun

Da-eun

Damn it!

Why does it have to be like this.

Gu-tak,

we k*lled Bo-yeong.

Chang-su,

I've always envied you.

Maybe I've lived my whole life

chasing after your shadow.

That day,

I wanted to protect

my troublesome son

Actually, no

I just wanted to protect myself.

SIGNING OF THE COOPERATION CONTRAC

And so I made choices

that I shouldn't have.

I ruined Jeong-woo's life

and caused your death.

Chang-su, don't forgive me.

This was my choice.

I will now carry all my sins

and join you there.

Open the door!

Hyeon Gu-tak!

Chief Hyeon!

Open the door!

You can't die!

You don't even deserve to die.

Stay alive and face your punishment.

sh*t!

There she is!

Actress Choi Na-gyeom, who was charged

with kidnapping and attempted m*rder,

has been found guilty of

destruction of evidence

in two m*rder cases 11 years ago.

Out of the way, please!

Please get out of the way.

- Just a minute.

- Please move.

Someone will get hurt!

- Out of the way, please.

- Out of the way.

Please get out of the way.

You'll cause an injury.

Congresswoman Ye Yeong-sil

will be placed

under arrest after losing in

the Gyeonggi-do gubernatorial election

on charges of concealing and fabricating

information and evidence related to

the m*rder case 11 years ago,

which is believed to be the reason

that her husband, Park Hyeong-sik,

the director of Sarang Hospital,

committed suicide.

Prepare my second speech.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you for everything.

Hey!

Get rid of this too.

Team Head Noh,

if I had conducted the investigation

driven by personal feelings,

I would have no reason to be

in this position right now.

If our investigation was

insufficient back then,

I could face disciplinary action now.

But we can't have anyone

that was wronged.

And above all,

finding the truth is important.

Maybe I

was a very diligent lab rat.

KOREA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

Hi.

You're returning to school?

Yes.

Have you reflected

a lot on your actions?

Yes,

I did a lot of proper reflection.

That's a relief.

I'm going to let this slide

because of the late Professor Ha.

When's Professor Yun getting here?

Tell me when

Professor Yun is getting here!

Sorry?

You moron!

You said he had an aortic rupture?

Huh?

Yes, sir

This isn't an easy operation.

Break the news to the family.

Huh?

But Wasn't this an appendectomy?

Can't you do anything right?

I'm sorry, sir.

Just wrap this up

and take a few days off.

Mr. Ju Won, time of death, 4:20 p.m.

We discovered an undiscovered

abdominal aortic rupture during surgery.

We really did everything we could

to save him.

But you said it was an appendectomy!

That's because he complained

of abdominal pain

He's the one who thought

his appendix had ruptured.

We only discovered what was really wrong

with him during the emergency surgery.

That's why we couldn't tell you

beforehand.

Our medical staff really did their best.

Oh, Father!

How could this happen? Father!

I think my grandfather would be

really ashamed

that he chose a bad apprentice.

I met the victim's family before

I came here.

And I'm going to meet their lawyer

in two days.

You have no fear, do you?

Have you even thought about

how this will affect your future?

I'm sure I won't even be able to

get training at a university hospital.

And it's very likely that I won't get

to choose the major I wanted to.

I guess with one phone call from you,

no university hospital will welcome me.

So you know.

But at least I won't lose my pride

about my profession.

Isn't that good enough?

Why are you frowning?

Let's stop here for today, Mom.

Don't overdo it.

Jeong-woo.

I don't like Mucheon anymore.

Let's sort everything out and leave.

I'm sure your dad would want that too.

Jeong-woo.

Both you and I

may never be able to forget this.

But we have to endure and live on.

That's good to hear.

Hello!

Attorney Park!

Long time no see! Huh?

Get out of my way.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Park Hyeon-geun.

I've already reviewed all the case files

and additional evidence materials,

and I've submitted requests for meetings

with the suspects in prison.

Thank you.

I respect him more than

any other little brother in the world.

I'm not your little brother!

We're high school classmates.

What was the detective like

in high school?

Gosh, even worse than now!

He's become a lot more normal now.

I was popular back then.

Let's step inside.

Today I just wanted you

to freely tell your story.

That's why I asked you to come in.

I'm going to record this.

Jeong-woo, just say whatever you want.

It was the day after

the college entrance exam.

Besides me, Geon-oh

and Deok-mi,

everyone else failed their exams

SOUTHERN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

OF GYEONGGI-DO

Your wife is doing well with Hye-yeong.

Thanks for letting me know

how everyone is doing.

There's no need to thank me.

I won't be coming back here again.

Exactly.

As if you'd want to return here.

So.

They'll reopen the case and

have a retrial, right?

If you need a witness, let me know.

Gosh.

If only I wasn't a chronic alcoholic

back then

If only I didn't abuse Bo-yeong

and her mom every day

Then my Bo-yeong wouldn't have

ended up like that, right?

I should have believed you.

Your Honor.

COUR

After 11 long years,

I am finally standing here.

My life during that time

was darkness itself.

Someone who k*lled two friends,

and did not reveal

where their bodies were,

even at the very end.

Someone who was completely unforgivable.

A true m*rder*r.

They said that was who I am.

No matter how much I tried to remember,

I just couldn't.

Everyone thought.

I was a monster.

In that dark memory,

my beloved family and I

could only uncover the truth

by risking our lives.

When we finally discovered the truth,

it had people filled with

greed and jealousy.

There were real murderers,

people who hid the truth and told lies,

and those who fabricated stories

despite knowing everything.

It is only now that I, too,

know everything.

However, the truth is just so cruel

because the people who framed me

were those whom I loved the most.

They were the ones I depended on.

That is the saddest and toughest part

of all this.

My youth was taken from me

My father passed away because of me

And my friends were sacrificed

I will never see them again.

But I want to establish that.

I did not commit any crime.

That is the only proof I need

to honorably remember them

and live on for the rest of my life.

DEFENSE COUNSEL

I will now give the verdict.

The original verdict

is henceforth overturned.

The plaintiff is not guilty.

The summary of the judgment

for the plaintiff is made public.

The forensic results from the National

Forensic Service at the crime scene

and the police statements

are insufficient to conclude that

the plaintiff committed the crime,

And there is no other evidence

to support this,

Therefore, in accordance with

the Criminal Procedure Act,

the plaintiff must be declared

not guilty.

Yes!

You're the best, Attorney Park!

What would you like to do?

I'll just leave quietly.

You know the staff entrance, right?

Yeah.

Thank you.

I'll leave it to you to wrap things up.

- I'll call you.

- Get lost.

- I'll get lost.

- Take care.

Isn't Mr. Goh Jeong-woo

coming out with you?

Please say a few words.

Thank you. This is a great day.

It would be best if Mr. Goh Jeong-woo

spoke for himself

Congrats!

You did well.

It's all thanks to you, Detective.

Sang-cheol

My sincerest thanks.

I'll get going.

Jeong-woo.

Just

live an ordinary life now.

Experience ordinary struggles

and ordinary joys.

Smile and cry ordinarily.

Just endure and live on

with an ordinary heart.

Don't ever think that you've

lost out in life.

If you move,

don't be afraid of your new neighbors.

Don't start by being wary of strangers.

Just

Like that.

Just live as you are now.

I'm sure you can.

Today, Mr. Goh Jeong-woo,

who was falsely convicted as

the Missing Body m*rder culprit

and served in prison for 10 years,

was declared not guilty

at the retrial sentence hearing.

He served his full sentence

of 10 years in prison

before his innocence was recognized,

and we wanted to hear

from him in person,

but he has refused all interviews

with the press

SOUTHERN CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION

OF GYEONGGI-DO

When we discussed this before.

Catching criminals and making sure

that no one is wronged.

That's all we have to remember.

Everything is pointing to Jeong-woo

being the culprit, right?

What do we need now?

We don't have concrete evidence.

Of course I know how sharp

your intuition is,

just as I did 10 years ago.

You messed everything up, you b*stard!

You!

You're the one who screwed up

the investigation

and caused this mess, you b*stard!

You should resign.

This is the last thing I can do for you.

Paris is as sunny as ever.

Jeong-woo,

when will you come to visit me?

I'm sorry

that I couldn't love you more.

Thank you

for remembering me.

Jeong-woo,

I love you.

NURI REAL ESTATE

Please have some of this.

When I told you not to come

on the death anniversary,

you know I meant for you

to forget and move on.

So why did you come?

It's your birthday, father-in-law.

I heard you got transferred to

somewhere in Gyeonggi-do.

Why are you living so recklessly?

Just live a normal life.

Father, I'm not normal.

How could I be normal?

But you know,

everyone else lives on

despite not being normal.

It's not just me going through

a hard time, everyone is.

But they all just endure it.

So, Father.

I'm not okay,

but I'll try to live on like that.

So don't worry about me too much.

I'll get going now.

Sang-cheol.

My son-in-law.

It wasn't your fault.

It wasn't your fault.

No, Father.

It was my fault.

So I'm never going to forget.

I'm going to keep remembering her.

Hey, freshman!

You know how to play footbag?

Isn't that game too old?

I heard you were

quite old for your year,

so I looked it up.

Is that not you?

It's me.

So we finally meet.

The legendary outcast

among the seniors.

Senior Ha Seol.

What do you think?

I look quite cool in person, right?

Do you have class?

Have you been to the library over there?

There's a library?

I'm back.

Oh, you're here?

Did you have lots of customers?

Is there anything for me to do?

Eat first.

Are you adapting to college?

I am

but the kids these days are too fast

for me to keep up.

They must not hang out with you

because they find you difficult.

You're right.

But what can you do?

Study hard.

- Hurry up!

- Hurry!

Oh, this is way too fast.

We're here.

- We're here.

- Wow! Wow! Look at that!

This is so awesome!

Min-su isn't coming.

- Hurry up!

- I'm coming. Let's go together!

- Come quickly.

- Got it.

Wow, this is nice.

- Push, push!

- Okay, okay!

Hey, wait for me!

- Geon-oh.

- Yeah.

- Let's put it in the shade.

- Okay, okay.

It's heavy.

Let's be honest, it's so much

easier without Su-oh here.

If he came with us,

we still wouldn't have made it here.

- We'd be cooking this in the street.

- Looks delicious.

Why be so harsh?

Hey, stop talking nonsense.

When will the noodles be ready?

The water's just started to boil.

Why did you say it like that?

Su-oh's our friend too.

We should take care of him.

Yes, thank you, oh, wise one.

We'll be careful, Jeong-woo.

How many noodle packs

should we cook?

12?

Geon-oh.

Jeong-woo.

We endure it because of you.

When Su-oh gets mistreated by others

because he acts weird.

Or when he gets beat up by strangers.

Every time I discover how much

of a coward I am

when those things happen.

Every time,

you were by my side.

That's how I endure it.

The sunset sure is amazing.

Thanks.

Forget it.

Dad.

Bo-yeong. Da-eun.

Geon-oh.

Please keep watching over me.

Even now.

Please watch how I live my life.

Watch closely.

I miss you so much.

And I love you.
