(Episode 109)
Thank you for making time to see me.
You're welcome.
But it was so long ago that
I'm not sure if I can help.
Do you remember him?
He caused the crash and then ran.
I don't know. I'm not sure.
He's short
and has a large birthmark on his face.
I only got a quick glance.
Plus, it was late at night, and he was
wearing a hat.
I see.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm sorry I couldn't help.
Wait.
Did you say he's short?
Yes.
That can't be.
The man I was saw was tall.
He was a tall, slim young man.
That's how I testified at the police precinct.
He was tall?
Are you sure?
It's been so long that
your pointed question makes me waver,
but that's what I remember.
I got a quick glance from afar,
but he was definitely not short.
Cheon Yangbae, if it wasn't you, who was it?
Let's drink.
You're sending Bora abroad to study?
Yes.
Moo Suhyeok too?
Of course.
They're married.
Moreover, they can't live without each other.
There must be a genetic defect in our family.
My poor old man.
He was crazy about Ms. Heo
although she never returned his love.
Man, we're all unbefitting romantics.
We can't give up, oblivious that
our lives are going down the drain.
But what can we do?
We must live in accordance with our nature.
Bora is especially stupid.
All she cares about is Moo Suhyeok.
Why are you going to such lengths about this?
Are you out to harass me?
I understand you're distraught,
but temper yourself.
There's a limit to what I can take.
Drink instead of getting worked up.
So what will you do about Cha Taejin?
I know you despise him,
but I just don't get why you're this intent on
destroying him.
Cha Taejin and I can't live in the same world.
I must die or he must die.
It's one or the other.
But Officer Moo, whom you adore, loves him.
So?
Should I wish them well for her sake?
There's nothing I can do for the woman I love
but ruin her life.
Dohyeon.
Isn't this like a comedy?
My life's turned into a comedy.
So what I can do
but tough it out every single day?
I can't crumble any more than this in front of her.
So how far do you plan to go?
I told you.
One of us must disappear.
So you're going to kill Cha Taejin or something?
I don't know. I'm not sure
how far I will go.
You're still up?
What about Dohyeon?
He fell asleep.
The wife of Hanju Bank's president called to
thank me earlier.
Do you know why Dohyeon's suddenly using Hanju
despite how much his dad hates the guy?
I don't know the details.
But wouldn't Dohyeon have a good reason
for making such a decision?
You know that he wouldn't
make such a decision without a good reason.
Anyway, I'm worried.
He can't sleep these days unless he drinks.
And then there's Bora.
I don't think she'll last long with that family.
I really hope she can be
happy if no one else.
Should anything happen,
couldn't you stand by her?
Ms. Heo.
I'm sorry.
It was shameless of me to ask.
Good night.
Drive safe.
Are you happy Bora's coming back?
It must be unbearable for her though.
You're a sorry fellow when I think about it.
You have no idea what your kids want
and gave them a life counter to what they wanted.
Why didn't you make Dohyeon turn himself in?
Then he wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
You ruined your son's life,
Ms. Jin Daegap.
Suhyeok, you should go.
Leave me alone and just work.
I really don't care for you being like this.
What?
Frankly, what Bora's asking of you
is not unreasonable.
Can't you study abroad and enjoy being
newlyweds like Bora suggested?
I'd be jumping up and down with joy.
I wish it were that simple too.
Don't dismiss it out of pride and make an effort
to put Bora first instead.
Bora did put her entire life on the line for you.
Give and take.
If you've received, you must give too.
Yes. I think you're right.
Let's think about
what would be best for the two of us.
I'm off.
Okay. Have a good day.
Thank you. You too.
Let's go.
She won't even make eye contact with me
like she's done something wrong.
Geez, Mom. How would Bora wrong you?
That's what I mean.
She always smiled when our eyes met.
So what's gotten into her?
Mom.
Yes?
I'm going to a friend's birthday party today.
Isn't it exciting?
I even got a present.
What did you get?
A hair clip.
I really wanted this for myself.
I'll get you an even prettier one later.
Really?
Of course.
So you won't open for lunch?
Most of our customers come for dinner.
We can start up later in the afternoon.
Good thinking.
One must have fun once in a while.
Mother, I'll prepare lunch before I leave,
so just heat up the soup.
Okay.
I wish you were coming with us.
I told you she can't.
If she trips and falls in the dark...
Did I say I wanted to go?
Movies are for people who are used to going.
Isn't that what I said?
I told you Grandma wouldn't go.
I don't have an appetite.
G-Grandmother...
Is she unwell?
Right?
She's been listless since
she felt faint after the sauna.
That's why it's dangerous for
old people to be out once it gets cold.
It's tough driving at night, right?
The driving isn't that hard,
but it's torture dealing with drunk people.
You should be careful too.
Officer Choi's having a hard time
after a drunk he was dealing with
fell and hurt his head.
Take what Taejin said to heart.
Especially concerning drunk women.
Geez, Huijin. Haechan's here.
It's fine. I trust you, Dad.
You little squirt.
You must be worried.
I'm sure it'll work out.
It's really $100,000, right?
This is unbelievable.
Officer Choi, you're in the clear now.
I can't believe my eyes.
All these zeroes... This is $100,000?
I knew it.
This is how great Chamsuri is.
No, you didn't.
I heard you said we wouldn't raise much.
Assistant Park said you were worried sick,
contemplating giving $3,000 or $5,000.
That good-for-nothing sure loves to gossip.
Thank you very much.
I don't know
how I can repay this debt.
I'm happy for you. Thank goodness.
Why? What's wrong? What is it?
Did Officer Choi cause trouble again?
Assistant Inspector Park.
Hey, hey. Gross.
What's with you?
You really came through.
You saved his life.
No, I didn't.
Man. And you're modest too.
Oh, please.
By the way, how did it go with the witness?
He said it was a tall, thin guy wearing a cap.
What are you talking about?
That's how he described the perp.
Are you sure he's not confused?
He remembered it too vividly
to assume he was mistaken.
Unlike facial features,
height and build are remembered quite accurately.
And it's hard to mistake Spotty as being tall.
That's true.
The witness said that's how he testified.
He could be confused.
Memory can be very misleading.
That may be,
but I want to check it out.
Who did Cha Taejin meet with last night?
Find out who the person is.
And let me know as soon as you find out.
What's going on with the news story?
My friend just called.
He'll break the news soon.
Over $100,000 was raised,
so it makes for a good news piece.
What? $100,000?
Cha Taejin will become a real star.
Have them really build him up while they're at it.
Okay, so let's go get something for our hangover.
I'm sorry, but I have plans.
Bora didn't say anything?
Hasn't she mentioned studying abroad?
Yes, she did.
What do you plan to do?
I don't really want to go.
Why not? Because of your pathetic pride?
Dohyeon.
If getting help from your in-laws hurts your pride,
you can pay us back by making it big.
But I don't want to be pushed around like this.
Then what about Bora?
Don't you care about what she wants?
For her to bring this up,
she must be having a very hard time.
Doesn't that matter to you at all?
Dohyeon.
How about what she's done for you?
She gave up everything for you.
Yet you can't give up your pathetic pride for her?
You said you loved Bora.
Please don't put it like that.
It's making me uncomfortable.
Hey, Moo Suhyeok.
This is a matter concerning Bora and me.
It's not something in which you should meddle.
I'm disappointed.
I thought you loved her more than this.
What if Bora says she can't bear
to live with your family?
Then what will you do?
If you don't want to lose her,
you'd better make the right choice.
Aren't you that little girl?
Hello, ma'am.
What's the matter?
Is something wrong?
Yes. I'm lonely.
Do you even know what lonely is?
Being left alone.
What?
My friends went to a birthday party without me.
My grandma went out as she thought
I was going to the party.
Are you telling me the other kids
went without you?
Those mean little imps.
There's no need to cry. Don't cry.
I can play with you.
There's a lot of yummy food at the party.
What kind of yummy food?
Fried chicken and pizza.
Pizza?
I can buy you pizza.
Let's go.
Where can we get pizza?
There's one over there,
but it's very expensive.
How expensive can it be?
Let's go.
Pizza?
Yes.
The lady you helped in the playground?
Yes. She bought me pizza.
Grandma, I'm going to brush my teeth.
Okay.
Oh, wow. Uri befriended an old lady.
She takes after Gunghwa
and gets along with anyone.
Yes?
Right now?
Just a moment.
You can babysit Uri, right?
Sure. Go ahead.
Yes, okay.
Okay. I'll be right there.
What is this regarding?
I have something to discuss with you.
What is it?
It's about Bora.
This is great.
I was actually very curious.
Bora rarely speaks or
smiles anymore.
You must know why
since you're her brother.
I feel bad saying this, but I'd like to send
Bora abroad for further studies with Suhyeok.
We'll make all the arrangements,
so you need not worry.
What is this?
I wanted to get you
a house where Uri can run around and play.
So this is the deed...
It's not that big,
but it should okay for you, Uri, and Officer Moo.
It's quiet as it's outside Seoul.
This isn't right.
Ms. Lee.
I wish Bora had just been honest and told us.
Please don't misunderstand.
This wasn't Bora's idea.
It was mine.
Did you propose this to Suhyeok as well?
Dohyeon proposed that we study abroad.
If I refuse to accept the proposal,
what will happen between us?
Suhyeok.
Will you leave me if I say no?
Is that something you're considering?
Look into my eyes.
I must see your eyes when you answer.
Can you really leave me?
No, right? No.
I know you. You...
You're not like that.
Tell me truthfully
why you're being like this.
You're wrong.
You were mistaken.
I am like that.
This is how I am.
So this is your true self?
So what you've shown me was a lie?
I'm sorry.
I told you not to say sorry to me again.
What else can I do?
That's all I can say to you.
Jin Bora.
Fine. Do as you wish
if this is what you really want.
Come on.
What are we doing here?
Let's play, and loser buys lunch.
Why? Scared you'll lose?
You're good.
Since when did you play baseball?
I was on the junior baseball team.
Then you should've told me.
Isn't this cheating?
You're the one who wanted to play for lunch.
Let's go eat.
Don't worry too much.
About Uri's dad.
It must've been hard for you to ask me about him.
Frankly, it was unsettling for me.
But this is a case, not a personal matter.
And I'm a police officer.
Work and personal life are separate.
I think this makes me a worthy partner for you.
Are you sure you won't falter no matter what?
Yes.
Unless we solve the case and catch Spotty,
I won't be completely freed from the pain.
I'll work very hard to that end if nothing else.
So you must be honest with me too and tell me
if anything comes up.
Okay.
It's a promise then.
Okay. I promise.
(Cop raises $100,000 for colleague in debt)
I don't believe this.
This is about us.
There's Inspector Cha's picture too.
Oh, wow.
But how did this make the news?
The press practically live at police stations.
Will this catapult Inspector Cha into stardom?
Then could I take partial credit?
Wow. You never really know what life has in store.
Wow. The comments are amazing.
It's an awful world out there.
This is heartwarming news people have been craving.
Our station has raised the police force's stature.
Doesn't this call for a staff party?
Of course.
Let's drink the night away tomorrow
after Officer Choi's matter is squared away.
(Cop raises $100,000 for colleague in debt)
But wouldn't Dohyeon have a good reason
for making such a decision?
You know he wouldn't
make such a decision without a good reason.
What is this? Isn't this Taejin?
Wow. No wonder he warned me this morning.
Oh, my goodness. Isn't this our Taejin?
Taejin is indeed a cut above the rest.
He saved a colleague who was in a terrible bind.
I know he's my brother,
but he sure is all that.
The family probably doesn't know.
You wait here.
I'll run over and let them know.
They'll be so happy.
Mom.
What's wrong?
Mother didn't have anything for lunch.
The soup hasn't been touched either.
She barely had any breakfast either.
Could her stomach be upset?
Mom, why didn't you eat?
I'm fine. I ate.
What did you eat? The food hasn't been touched.
Pizza.
You get indigestion. Why'd you have pizza?
Who did you see
that you had pizza?
Stop bothering me and go.
Like you were ever interested in me.
Mother! Father! Come on out.
Why is he making such a fuss again?
Look. There's a news story about Taejin.
What? Really? What about?
As you can see, Taejin did a wonderful thing.
The story sings his praises.
So it does.
Let me see.
At this rate, he could really make commissioner.
Looks like he has nowhere to go but up
since he's already such a star.
He's not only talented but also caring.
And handsome too.
Oh, right. Of course. He's also handsome.
That squirt.
Wow. What a great picture of him.
But then again, how can he take a bad picture?
Congratulations, Mr. Cha Sangcheol.
Congratulations are indeed in order for this.
Shouldn't we throw a big party?
Oh, my. What am I thinking?
I should let Mother know too.
This might cheer her up.
That squirt...
How are you feeling?
Fine.
You must've been worried.
But of course.
You should've called at least.
I was worried sick
as I couldn't call
lest I put you on the spot.
I'm sorry.
I've been rather frazzled.
So how are you doing?
I'll let you know once the dust settles.
Mom...
In any case, they've been my family.
I don't want to badmouth them now.
You're really okay, right?
I told you not to worry.
Are things well at home?
Nothing's happened to Taejin?
Are you kidding me?
It's absolutely insane.
Insane?
An officer at the station almost
lost his job when things went awry
with a drunkard he was handling,
but Taejin came to his rescue.
He even made the news today.
You didn't know?
Taejin's become a huge star.
But how?
He posted that officer's story
on the police intranet and
raised $100,000 in just several days.
Really?
I'm sorry
for keeping you after hours.
It's fine.
Assistant Inspector Park gave me the lowdown.
So did you look into it?
The statement shows some discrepancies.
What do you mean?
The witness said he'd testified it was a tall man,
but the statement says it was a short man
like it was made to fit Cheon Yangbae.
What?
So are you saying the statement was falsified?
What did Mr. Jin Dohyeon say?
- He wants Suhyeok and Bora to study abroad. / - What?
He also brought a deed to a house for us.
It sounded like he'd gone to see Suhyeok first.
I don't know how your brother's faring.
Inspector Cha.
I'm at the playground.
You saw the news story, right?
I made sure there wouldn't be
any problems on my end,
so all that's left is for you to conclude this.
What we feared is happening.
Cha Taejin is re-investigating your case.
He seems to have met the witness.
Could that lead to any problems?
I tweaked the statement as Chairman Jin asked.
The perp is described as short and thin
to fit Cheon Yangbae.
But the witness probably told Cha what he saw.
Why did you come all this way?
I had to tell you as I'd promised.
I don't think Spotty's the one that killed
your husband.
What do you mean?
I think the real culprit is someone else.
I should return home first.
I'm sorry, Mother.
I did some digging,
and it turns out that Spotty's lawyer
works for Chairman Jin.
What is it that you want?
I'll leave with Bora.
You'll have a grandson.
The family you detest so much.
You can pull out if you're uncomfortable.
No. I can't avoid it because it's hard.
Why didn't you come that night?
I'm sorry I hurt you.
I want to stay a good person to you.
