[Episode 10]
The door opens.
Someone comes running out.
It's Cha Jeong Woo in a tuxedo,
and…
And then, another person,
running from the one chasing after him.
There are two, two of them
that came out of that house.
What about the person who left first?
Did you see his face?
No.
I didn't see it.
It matches your memory.
That there was someone else
at Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's place.
Perhaps after hearing what I said…
No, he mentioned it first.
He said it seemed like
you were chasing someone.
He requested a hypnotic investigation himself.
What did you mean when you said
the real culprit is on the move?
It's about the Nam Hyo Ju case.
The DNA of the culprit found
under Nam Hyo Ju's fingernails,
and the other DNA taken from the watch match.
Then, the case of Hye Jin and Nam Hyo Ju…
Have the same perpetrator.
The person who murdered Nam Gi Taek
and staged it as a suicide,
and the criminal who attacked Nam Hyo Ju
in an attempt to eliminate a witness,
is the same person who murdered
Ms. Yoon Hye Jin seven years ago.
Ultimately,
both in the past, and now,
the criminal is still operating around you.
Hye Jin!
Hye Jin! Hye Jin!
Hye Jin!
There's someone in the room.
Can you see the face?
Do you know who it is?
Who are you?
Did you see the face?
Do you know the person?
- Yes, talk--
- Detective,
you're with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo, aren't you?
The team leader is in a frenzy right now.
I'll go back and explain.
It seems like he saw the culprit, but,
for some reason that I can't know,
he is denying the memory himself.
Are you okay?
In the end,
we didn't catch the real culprit.
But we know there is a real perpetrator.
It will take time.
I'm still the prime suspect, aren't I?
It's because we haven't received
the forensic report yet.
I intended to report after the hypnosis
investigation if things became clearer.
Let's go.
Where to?
We need to meet the real culprit.
It's not the present me
who's denying the memory,
but the me from seven years ago.
You lost the suspect in front
of the police station?
No, it's not that we lost him,
but with Detective Min Hyeong--
Don't make excuses!
You failed to catch them,
that's why they got away!
Their identity is confirmed,
they couldn't possibly run away, right?
An active police officer
concealed a murder case.
Who knows what the repercussions
will be if this becomes an issue?
Higher-ups are in a frenzy
to get it resolved quickly,
and you lost the suspect?
Go out and find them immediately!
- Yes!
- Yes!
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo has voluntarily appeared.
What's this?
It's the suspect's evidence.
Reinvestigate the Yoon Hye Jin murder case.
I thought it was lost during
the accident seven years ago,
but my mother had it.
What about this photo?
It was received without a caller ID,
and a few other similar photos came through.
Hye Jin and I,
we weren't in a relationship
to care about such pictures.
Does anyone have a guess who it might be?
We'll have to check.
I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me.
Cha Jeong Woo is not the suspect,
but a witness to the case?
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo, at the time
of the Yoon Hye Jin case,
is assumed to have had a physical altercation
with the criminal at the scene.
After that, while chasing the fleeing criminal,
it seems he was involved in a traffic accident.
Lee Jin Seok's statement during
the hypnosis investigation is similar.
But, the real culprit who killed Yoon Hye Jin,
and the criminal in the Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju cases are the same person?
What's the evidence?
The criminal's DNA from
Yoon Hye Jin's case scene and
the criminal's DNA from
the Nam Hyo Ju case scene match.
And the criminal who staged
Nam Gi Taek's murder as a suicide is
the one who attacked Nam Hyo Ju
to eliminate a witness.
The point is that the three incidents
involve the same culprit.
And that the criminal is
an acquaintance of Cha Jeong Woo.
Make a list by investigating
the people around him,
and then compare it with the criminal's DNA
found under Nam Hyo Ju's fingernails.
Is there no other evidence
to narrow down the suspects?
A keyring.
Keyring?
It was found on the balcony
where Mr. Nam Gi Taek fell,
and it's presumed to belong to the criminal.
It's a limited edition.
Limited edition?
Ah, it's a commemorative keyring from a
medical volunteer program at Cheongsoo Prison.
Then,
among the inmates who participated
in that volunteer program,
if we investigate any connection to Dr. Cha
and Nam Gi Taek, we might find the answer.
Go ahead.
And, get ahold of yourselves!
We have neither time nor a valid reason.
If Lee Jin Seok files for a retrial
and the case resurfaces,
then all of us are done for, got it?
- Yes!
- Yes!
What about the cell phone pictures?
We'll have to find out who sent them and why.
[Yoon Hye Jin Murder Case]
Detective,
could this be a crime of passion?
Perhaps, during a fight with
the jealous lover, the victim fell back.
As the victim died,
he stabbed the body
to disguise it as a robbery.
Judging by the extent of the dents,
it's not fatal…
[Hye Jin's Daily Life]
[In My Most Treasured Moments]
Then Hye Jin's and Nam Hyo Ju's cases…
Have the same perpetrator.
Ultimately,
both in the past, and now,
the criminal is still operating around you.
All of this is happening because of me…
[Because The Sunset Is Beautiful]
[Can't Lose Our Team… One Group Photo!]
[After the Performance Ends]
Jeong Woo!
Ah, I really did remember today.
- Really.
- Ms. Hye Jin.
You worked hard today.
- Good work!
- Good work!
Go on in.
I know.
You must've saved another person again.
- Are you angry?
- No, I'm in a really good mood.
Why?
Umm…
The people you saved are now saving you.
Are you saying the people
I saved are saving me?
What do you mean?
There's something like that.
- Huh?
- Let's just take a commemorative photo.
Here.
Here.
- Smile.
- Yes.
[After the performance ends, the one who
became my greatest strength. Even if he's late]
Does anyone have a guess who it might be?
[Last rehearsal! With Hyun Seok]
- You've worked hard today.
- Good job.
[Lee Hyun Seok]
Ms. Hyo Ju.
- How's your condition? Are you okay?
- Yes.
We're planning to schedule
the skin grafting and
reconstructive surgery for next week.
Ah… Yes.
It's not a difficult surgery.
It's the period after surgery
that is more problematic.
You can be discharged 2
to 3 days after the surgery.
What are your plans?
I plan to go home.
Once a temporary residence is arranged,
after talking with the police,
I'll fix the surgery schedule.
I'm sure I saw him.
But I can't remember.
It's not your fault, Ms. Hyo Ju.
Being a victim of a crime,
as well as not remembering
what happened that day.
Please get the pre-surgery
examinations done in advance.
Yes.
Hello?
Oh, I see.
Thank you for your cooperation. Yes.
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Among those who received keyrings,
excluding those who are serving sentences,
we are locating the rest
and securing their alibis.
There are too many.
Yes, that's the souvenir from the volunteer
service at Cheongsoo Prison last year.
But, if you take the fingerprints from this,
you can quickly find out who it is, right?
Ah, I am also part of the volunteer group.
If Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek
were killed by the same person,
Cha Jeong Woo, Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek
must have been a connection between them.
Right? But, among the prisoners,
it's not easy to find a connection
with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
That keyring…
Did only the prisoners receive it?
Then who else received it?
The medical staff?
Ah, but the motive for the murder…
Moreover, if it's the same perpetrator
as in the Yoon Hye Jin case,
there should be a motive
for killing Yoon Hye Jin as well.
Ah, these people…
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo is denying
his memory of the criminal.
Does that mean the person is that shocking?
Whether it's a shocking reason or not,
if we need to find that reason,
we'll have to start from here.
Is the surgery for patient Nam Hyo Ju
scheduled for the day after tomorrow?
Yes, we've scheduled it to match
Director Cha's schedule.
Let's not postpone it any further
and just go with the scheduled plan.
Ah, we're short on hospital rooms, too.
It's better to perform the surgery
quickly and discharge the patient.
Hey, Director.
Has the surgery schedule
been set for Ms. Nam Hyo Ju?
We were just discussing that.
You'd be informed once it's scheduled.
Why is there so much interest?
Well, I mean…
Ah, Madam.
What surgery is Director Cha performing again?
What happened to Bintan?
They say Jeong Woo hasn't departed yet?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
We didn't know when he came to our hospital.
I didn't realize he was someone
I saw during volunteer…
I found out a bit after his death.
Through Mom.
Pardon?
Ah, Jeong Woo's mother.
You mean Yoon Seo Hee.
She's a friend's mother, but
you two seem to be very close, right?
Yes.
She's like a real mother to me.
According to the investigation
records at the time,
there was content suggesting your
disapproval of your son's marriage.
Are you reinvestigating that case?
As you know,
the investigation at that time was flawed.
There was a cover-up
of Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's accident
and a cellphone that wasn't submitted.
Do you know something regarding the photos
that were on the cellphone?
No, I don't.
I heard you've known Dr. Cha Jeong Woo
for quite some time.
Ah, yes.
Director Cha's mother
and I were college classmates.
Well, I've known him since he was young.
Then, you must be acquainted
with Ms. Yoon Hye Jin as well?
I've seen her a few times when
their marriage came up.
I've heard there was strong opposition
to Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's marriage.
Me?
From Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's mother.
But, why are you suddenly
asking about such things?
Yoon Hye Jin's case perpetrator
is the same as Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju's cases?
You seem to have a lot of interest
in the investigation.
Because it involves Director Cha,
whom I care about.
Do you remember where you were
on the day of Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death?
What? You mean me?
It's a formal question.
I drank at a bar I often go to.
You remember it clearly.
Yes.
The next day, I was struggling with a hangover,
but seeing the article about
Mr. Nam Gi Taek snapped me out of it.
Ah, that day was also plastered
with articles about Director Cha.
You must be quite close to Director Cha.
Of course, we are like brothers.
But last week, you came to our hospital
and mentioned investigating
Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's case, didn't you?
Well… yes, I did.
Then, why are you suddenly
asking about Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Ah! Does it have something
to do with Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's case?
Do you happen to have the keyring?
This is also a formal, I mean…
It is not a formal question.
Please answer precisely.
Well, I…
Of course…
I don't have it.
I lost it.
But the only doctor likely to have it
would be our Director.
After our Director finishes his volunteer work,
he likes to collect items for certification.
Hmm…
It was displayed in the hospital's showcase,
but someone took it.
It suddenly disappeared.
When was that?
Ah, this is tricky.
I'm not sure.
But, the owner of this keyring is
the criminal of Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju's cases?
You have the keyring that was a souvenir
at that time, don't you?
No, I don't have it.
Weren't you the one who organized it?
Then, at least a souvenir…
It wasn't really something to commemorate,
since it's something I do often.
The day Mr. Nam Gi Taek died,
do you remember where you were
and what you were doing?
Well, I must have been at home, right?
I usually spend time alone quietly after work.
Were you at home with someone?
I'm a middle-aged person living alone.
Excuse me?
I…
I'm a middle-aged person who lives alone.
Ah…
Then, during the Nam Hyo Ju case, too?
Well… I must have been at home.
Perhaps…
You didn't take or send
the photos that were on the phone, did you?
I don't remember doing that.
Hey, do you really not know anything at all?
Seriously!
I'm just dying, trying to do surgery
and drinking like crazy.
Then, did our idle director hear anything?
Ah, darn it…
Don't you know me at all?
Do I look like the kind of person
who just knows things? Like who?
Madam, are you finished?
Yes.
You came out earlier than I thought.
What's there to talk about for so long?
Mother, do you perhaps know something…
Jeez, this coffee tastes horribly awful.
What kind of situation is this, really?
According to the investigation
records at the time,
there was content suggesting your
disapproval of your son's marriage.
You didn't take or send
the photos that were on the phone, did you?
[Private Investigation - Trust Company
We find people for you]
Due to the incident seven
years ago, he suddenly quit.
I do have the address where he used to live,
but it's been a long time…
[Statement by Yoon Seo Hee]
[Statement by Kim Seok Hoon]
Is there something wrong?
Just checking if there's anything
that could be wrong, you know.
How are Nam Hyo Ju's case suspect
movements being tracked?
Ah… we tracked down to the subway station,
but he just jumped over the ticket gates.
We need to check all the
subway CCTV footage, obviously.
Keep following him.
We need to confirm the final movements
to match with the people investigated
so we can try to match them.
But Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's mother,
isn't she a bit strange?
In what way?
The fact that she said she doesn't
remember when asked about the photo.
There's no way she couldn't remember
something like that.
Maybe,
she hired someone to separate
Cha Jeong Woo and Yoon Hye Jin.
We don't know the person, after all.
[Statement by Yoon Seo Hee]
[Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek murder case]
They said you quit all of a sudden.
Am I being misunderstood right now?
Depends on your answer.
You're just as I've heard.
I don't mean it in a bad way.
"Honest, unpretentious. That's his charm."
Ms. Hye Jin talked so much about you.
Um…
Me quitting dancing
isn't completely unrelated to Hye Jin.
She supported me a lot,
but it didn't go well without her.
And that incident…
It was quite a shock for me too.
Around that time, is there anything
you might know about Hye Jin?
But… why come to me now?
Is there anything
you might know about Hye Jin?
But… why come to me now?
This belongs to her.
I thought you'd come to find it right away.
Ah, and about that photo,
Hye Jin had it on her phone too.
Ms. Hye Jin's reaction
was a bit unusual at that time,
so it stuck in my memory.
Huh? That's me, right?
Yes, it's you.
Wow… this is just perfect
for misunderstanding, isn't it?
Ms. Hye Jin, who took this? Your boyfriend?
Eh? Jeong Woo isn't that kind of person.
Then who was it?
Why do you care? I don't even care.
But I'm involved too…
Did you report it?
Geez, who is it?
Do you know this person?
Come on, let's start over.
There were a few more pictures
with a similar vibe.
But she didn't pay much attention to it.
Similar pictures, you say?
It looked like she was alone with another man,
as if it was intentionally
made to feel that way.
Maybe someone harbored
ill will towards Hye Jin,
and wanted to break up your marriage?
[The password is incorrect, please try again]
[The number of attempts was exceeded]
[Please try again in 1 minute]
It seems Nam Gi Taek and Hye Jin cases
might be related.
I heard something came up
during Nam Hyo Ju's case.
Really?
Since evidence has emerged,
they'll find it soon enough.
Do you want another can?
I don't know why I lived like that.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I don't really know anything about Hye Jin.
What was going on around her,
why she was struggling…
It's not like you to blame yourself.
Having lived with no feelings or plans.
Meeting Hye Jin changed everything.
My work, my emotions, my plans.
I said so many things,
but I…
I know nothing about Hye Jin.
So what?
What are you going to do now?
I have to find him, somehow.
The real culprit.
I think I saw that guy.
Jeong Woo,
have you thought about it?
What do you want to do when you find him?
You said everything changed
when you met Hye Jin.
If you meet that guy,
everything might change again.
Please operate just like this,
like the face in the picture.
Then, cheekbone contouring surgery,
raising the bridge of the nose,
and nostrils reduction must also be included,
up to the lower eyelid tailoring…
I'll do it. I'll just do it.
To make an accurate diagnosis,
we need your surgical history.
If you've had plastic surgery before…
Last year, I had it done
with ear cartilage, but
it didn't seem high enough,
so I redid it with silicone.
Did you also do the tip of your nose?
Yes, but,
it still seems a bit low,
so I'm considering raising it a bit more.
Then, by any chance,
have you ever had contouring surgery?
Well… two years ago,
but there was hardly any difference.
As for whether surgery is possible,
it seems like you'll have to consult
with our director first.
These days, many people
bring retouched photos, you know.
Even so, it's more realistic
than bringing in celebrity photos
and asking for surgery to look like them.
But the problem is when it's excessive.
Plastic surgery isn't as simple
as retouching with an app, is it?
There must be a reason they call it
"Snapchat dysmorphia", right?
Indeed.
[Snapchat Dysmorphia: discrepancy between
retouched photos and real appearance]
[Symptoms of obsession with dissatisfaction]
If only I could just come out
looking like the photos.
Me too?
During the last surgery,
the silicone was inserted a bit too high,
and it's not fitting snugly,
plus the skin has thinned out.
Rather than replacing it
with a higher silicone piece,
I would recommend removing the implant.
What about the contour?
To make it like the photo, a significant
amount needs to be reduced,
and quite a forward movement
of the chin tip would be necessary.
Your own chin,
wouldn't see a great effect
from a contouring surgery,
given the shape of your face.
Then what about the eyes?
It's impossible to increase the size
of the eyes to match the photo.
Can't you just… do it somewhat like this?
It's not like I'm asking you to
make me into someone else's face.
After all, this face is still my face.
But to my eyes, it looks like someone else's.
No, doctor.
This is definitely my face.
I took the photo myself.
Yes, it is indeed you.
But you've overly retouched it.
I really need the surgery…
What's the matter? Are you okay?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
You're a doctor too, aren't you?
Yes, well, as you can see.
Could I possibly have a consultation
from you?
- Pardon?
- Because of someone,
I live as a suspect of having killed someone.
Thank you, Director.
Ah. What is it? Why are you being so scary?
Are you throwing a preemptive strike
in case I say something to you?
Both me and my mother
know that you're looking out for us.
This guy…
If you know, then do well.
Then, Nam Hyo Ju's surgery,
are you doing it with Woo Jin?
Skin grafting and reconstructing
around the eyes, you can cover it alone.
It's easier to do it together.
Is that your idea or Woo Jin's?
Why does it matter whose idea it is?
It's about paying more attention.
Are you doing this because
you think it's your fault?
It's not a surgery that takes a lot of time.
I'll adjust the schedule.
People around Dr. Cha Jeong Woo,
in the past and present too.
I don't remember doing that.
Because it involves Director Cha,
whom I care about.
You must be quite close to Director Cha.
Of course, we are like brothers
A person so shocking
that he'd reject the memory.
Isn't that a bit strange?
No matter how close,
do you call a friend's mother "Mom"?
Detective Lee?
A person who wishes to never return
to Cha Jeong Woo's memory.
We can just reset the password,
but I can't guarantee
the preservation of the memory.
Is there no other way?
If resetting is not possible,
you have to do it manually.
It seems like a few have been pressed often.
0, 2, 7.
I will apply for a retrial
of Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's murder case.
Please write your name at the end and sign it.
[Petition for Retrial]
If someone had looked a little closer,
they would have known something was wrong.
Who am I to blame now? It's all my fault.
Life is just…
It's my fault for living recklessly.
It's everyone's fault.
I will scrutinize each mistake,
so it won't be easy.
Ah, just because the retrial
petition is accepted,
it doesn't immediately mean
Mr. Lee Jin Seok is innocent.
If the real culprit is not caught,
can't I be found not guilty?
Don't worry,
that won't happen.
- Did you find something?
- Did something came out?
Regarding that,
could I also receive some counseling?
The relationship between
Han Woo Jin and Cha Jeong Woo?
What's the reason for asking?
The two seem very different,
how did they become friends?
- Actually…
- Character and environments are different too.
I know it was when
Woo Jin was in middle school.
The reason Woo Jin could study
for medical school steadily was
thanks to Jeong Woo's mother's guardianship.
Since Woo Jin is so sociable,
he befriended Jeong Woo too.
Anyway, Woo Jin
had a hard time between
Jeong Woo and his mother.
It seems like a few have been pressed often.
0, 2, 7.
The day I first met Hye Jin…
July.
[Welcome]
[Photos]
[Police Report]
Director, we're ready for
patient Nam Hyo Ju's surgery.
Ok.
Proactively dealing
with Cha Jeong Woo's affairs.
Right, I thought it was too good to be true.
Always looking interested…
Because he didn't want to pour his emotions
into patients who were dying or living.
That's why he switched to plastic surgery.
The reason Woo Jin could study
for medical school steadily was
thanks to Jeong Woo's mother's guardianship.
Just for that reason, did they become friends?
Something's a bit…
Seemingly one-sided, though.
If, not as friends…
- I'll go in first.
- Okay.
If it was an action to survive…
On the day of the incident,
no alibi and similar physical appearance.
Let's anesthetize.
Yes, starting anesthesia.
Administering the anesthetic.
Patient,
you will start to feel sleepy soon.
Please pull from the other side.
Is it okay?
It's slightly up, but it's fine.
Please begin.
[Seo Gang Ho]
The movements of the guy with the hat,
the assailant of Nam Hyo Ju.
Oh, has the final route been confirmed?
Ah, it's not the final one.
The exit where he got of the subway…
Which exit?
That…
Perhaps,
is it towards KSH Cosmetic Surgery?
He had heard Nam Gi Taek's
address that day and knew it.
You need to tell me the address.
She said she saw the perpetrator
on the day of the incident, right?
I'll leave right away. Yes.
And he knew there was a witness.
The day when Nam Hyo Ju was attacked…
If that day…
[Nam Hyo Ju Attempted Murder Case
Date of Incident: May 3, 2023]
If he had followed me that day…
Cut.
[Comprehensive Traffic Information Center]
I'd like to check my vehicle that was passing
near Junhwa-dong intersection
between 20:30 and 21:00 on May 3rd.
Is it your own vehicle, officer?
Yes.
Thank you for your hard work.
You've done well.
Thank you.
Please call me when
the patient's anesthesia wears off.
Yes.
[KSH Cosmetic Surgery]
Ah, here it is.
5526, this is your vehicle, officer, right?
Please play from here slowly again.
But, who's tailing you?
I'll check it out.
Stop there.
[Junhwa-dong Intersection 56 CHU 7837]
7837? Someone you know?
Regarding this matter,
I'd prefer if you didn't come
looking for me again.
I'll find out more and get back to you.
Knowing that the witness
was the woman next door,
that very night…
Ms. Hyo Ju!
Why you?
Why the heck?
What do you want to do when you find him?
If you meet that guy,
everything could change again.
Ms. Nam Hyo Ju!
Ms. Hyo Ju!
[Nam Hyo Ju]
[Detective Lee Min Hyeong]
[Face Me]
Is there something else
I don't know about Yoon Hye Jin case?
How could you?
Han Woo Jin, how could you? You rat!
Are you really unaware,
or just pretending not to know?
What are you talking about?
The real reason your mother manipulated
and hid your accident record, man.
The forensic results match,
arrest him immediately.
But Jeong Woo, Woo Jin is in danger right now.
I've set up tracking on the car and phone.
Why is Han Woo Jin talking about my mother?
Jeong Woo, I'll take Mother.

[Episode 10]
The door opens.
Someone comes running out.
It's Cha Jeong Woo in a tuxedo,
and…
And then, another person,
running from the one chasing after him.
There are two, two of them
that came out of that house.
What about the person who left first?
Did you see his face?
No.
I didn't see it.
It matches your memory.
That there was someone else
at Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's place.
Perhaps after hearing what I said…
No, he mentioned it first.
He said it seemed like
you were chasing someone.
He requested a hypnotic investigation himself.
What did you mean when you said
the real culprit is on the move?
It's about the Nam Hyo Ju case.
The DNA of the culprit found
under Nam Hyo Ju's fingernails,
and the other DNA taken from the watch match.
Then, the case of Hye Jin and Nam Hyo Ju…
Have the same perpetrator.
The person who murdered Nam Gi Taek
and staged it as a suicide,
and the criminal who attacked Nam Hyo Ju
in an attempt to eliminate a witness,
is the same person who murdered
Ms. Yoon Hye Jin seven years ago.
Ultimately,
both in the past, and now,
the criminal is still operating around you.
Hye Jin!
Hye Jin! Hye Jin!
Hye Jin!
There's someone in the room.
Can you see the face?
Do you know who it is?
Who are you?
Did you see the face?
Do you know the person?
- Yes, talk--
- Detective,
you're with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo, aren't you?
The team leader is in a frenzy right now.
I'll go back and explain.
It seems like he saw the culprit, but,
for some reason that I can't know,
he is denying the memory himself.
Are you okay?
In the end,
we didn't catch the real culprit.
But we know there is a real perpetrator.
It will take time.
I'm still the prime suspect, aren't I?
It's because we haven't received
the forensic report yet.
I intended to report after the hypnosis
investigation if things became clearer.
Let's go.
Where to?
We need to meet the real culprit.
It's not the present me
who's denying the memory,
but the me from seven years ago.
You lost the suspect in front
of the police station?
No, it's not that we lost him,
but with Detective Min Hyeong--
Don't make excuses!
You failed to catch them,
that's why they got away!
Their identity is confirmed,
they couldn't possibly run away, right?
An active police officer
concealed a murder case.
Who knows what the repercussions
will be if this becomes an issue?
Higher-ups are in a frenzy
to get it resolved quickly,
and you lost the suspect?
Go out and find them immediately!
- Yes!
- Yes!
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo has voluntarily appeared.
What's this?
It's the suspect's evidence.
Reinvestigate the Yoon Hye Jin murder case.
I thought it was lost during
the accident seven years ago,
but my mother had it.
What about this photo?
It was received without a caller ID,
and a few other similar photos came through.
Hye Jin and I,
we weren't in a relationship
to care about such pictures.
Does anyone have a guess who it might be?
We'll have to check.
I can't let anyone else get hurt because of me.
Cha Jeong Woo is not the suspect,
but a witness to the case?
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo, at the time
of the Yoon Hye Jin case,
is assumed to have had a physical altercation
with the criminal at the scene.
After that, while chasing the fleeing criminal,
it seems he was involved in a traffic accident.
Lee Jin Seok's statement during
the hypnosis investigation is similar.
But, the real culprit who killed Yoon Hye Jin,
and the criminal in the Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju cases are the same person?
What's the evidence?
The criminal's DNA from
Yoon Hye Jin's case scene and
the criminal's DNA from
the Nam Hyo Ju case scene match.
And the criminal who staged
Nam Gi Taek's murder as a suicide is
the one who attacked Nam Hyo Ju
to eliminate a witness.
The point is that the three incidents
involve the same culprit.
And that the criminal is
an acquaintance of Cha Jeong Woo.
Make a list by investigating
the people around him,
and then compare it with the criminal's DNA
found under Nam Hyo Ju's fingernails.
Is there no other evidence
to narrow down the suspects?
A keyring.
Keyring?
It was found on the balcony
where Mr. Nam Gi Taek fell,
and it's presumed to belong to the criminal.
It's a limited edition.
Limited edition?
Ah, it's a commemorative keyring from a
medical volunteer program at Cheongsoo Prison.
Then,
among the inmates who participated
in that volunteer program,
if we investigate any connection to Dr. Cha
and Nam Gi Taek, we might find the answer.
Go ahead.
And, get ahold of yourselves!
We have neither time nor a valid reason.
If Lee Jin Seok files for a retrial
and the case resurfaces,
then all of us are done for, got it?
- Yes!
- Yes!
What about the cell phone pictures?
We'll have to find out who sent them and why.
[Yoon Hye Jin Murder Case]
Detective,
could this be a crime of passion?
Perhaps, during a fight with
the jealous lover, the victim fell back.
As the victim died,
he stabbed the body
to disguise it as a robbery.
Judging by the extent of the dents,
it's not fatal…
[Hye Jin's Daily Life]
[In My Most Treasured Moments]
Then Hye Jin's and Nam Hyo Ju's cases…
Have the same perpetrator.
Ultimately,
both in the past, and now,
the criminal is still operating around you.
All of this is happening because of me…
[Because The Sunset Is Beautiful]
[Can't Lose Our Team… One Group Photo!]
[After the Performance Ends]
Jeong Woo!
Ah, I really did remember today.
- Really.
- Ms. Hye Jin.
You worked hard today.
- Good work!
- Good work!
Go on in.
I know.
You must've saved another person again.
- Are you angry?
- No, I'm in a really good mood.
Why?
Umm…
The people you saved are now saving you.
Are you saying the people
I saved are saving me?
What do you mean?
There's something like that.
- Huh?
- Let's just take a commemorative photo.
Here.
Here.
- Smile.
- Yes.
[After the performance ends, the one who
became my greatest strength. Even if he's late]
Does anyone have a guess who it might be?
[Last rehearsal! With Hyun Seok]
- You've worked hard today.
- Good job.
[Lee Hyun Seok]
Ms. Hyo Ju.
- How's your condition? Are you okay?
- Yes.
We're planning to schedule
the skin grafting and
reconstructive surgery for next week.
Ah… Yes.
It's not a difficult surgery.
It's the period after surgery
that is more problematic.
You can be discharged 2
to 3 days after the surgery.
What are your plans?
I plan to go home.
Once a temporary residence is arranged,
after talking with the police,
I'll fix the surgery schedule.
I'm sure I saw him.
But I can't remember.
It's not your fault, Ms. Hyo Ju.
Being a victim of a crime,
as well as not remembering
what happened that day.
Please get the pre-surgery
examinations done in advance.
Yes.
Hello?
Oh, I see.
Thank you for your cooperation. Yes.
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
Among those who received keyrings,
excluding those who are serving sentences,
we are locating the rest
and securing their alibis.
There are too many.
Yes, that's the souvenir from the volunteer
service at Cheongsoo Prison last year.
But, if you take the fingerprints from this,
you can quickly find out who it is, right?
Ah, I am also part of the volunteer group.
If Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek
were killed by the same person,
Cha Jeong Woo, Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek
must have been a connection between them.
Right? But, among the prisoners,
it's not easy to find a connection
with Dr. Cha Jeong Woo.
That keyring…
Did only the prisoners receive it?
Then who else received it?
The medical staff?
Ah, but the motive for the murder…
Moreover, if it's the same perpetrator
as in the Yoon Hye Jin case,
there should be a motive
for killing Yoon Hye Jin as well.
Ah, these people…
Dr. Cha Jeong Woo is denying
his memory of the criminal.
Does that mean the person is that shocking?
Whether it's a shocking reason or not,
if we need to find that reason,
we'll have to start from here.
Is the surgery for patient Nam Hyo Ju
scheduled for the day after tomorrow?
Yes, we've scheduled it to match
Director Cha's schedule.
Let's not postpone it any further
and just go with the scheduled plan.
Ah, we're short on hospital rooms, too.
It's better to perform the surgery
quickly and discharge the patient.
Hey, Director.
Has the surgery schedule
been set for Ms. Nam Hyo Ju?
We were just discussing that.
You'd be informed once it's scheduled.
Why is there so much interest?
Well, I mean…
Ah, Madam.
What surgery is Director Cha performing again?
What happened to Bintan?
They say Jeong Woo hasn't departed yet?
[Seoul Southern Police Station]
[Love Sharing Good Hands Medical Association]
We didn't know when he came to our hospital.
I didn't realize he was someone
I saw during volunteer…
I found out a bit after his death.
Through Mom.
Pardon?
Ah, Jeong Woo's mother.
You mean Yoon Seo Hee.
She's a friend's mother, but
you two seem to be very close, right?
Yes.
She's like a real mother to me.
According to the investigation
records at the time,
there was content suggesting your
disapproval of your son's marriage.
Are you reinvestigating that case?
As you know,
the investigation at that time was flawed.
There was a cover-up
of Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's accident
and a cellphone that wasn't submitted.
Do you know something regarding the photos
that were on the cellphone?
No, I don't.
I heard you've known Dr. Cha Jeong Woo
for quite some time.
Ah, yes.
Director Cha's mother
and I were college classmates.
Well, I've known him since he was young.
Then, you must be acquainted
with Ms. Yoon Hye Jin as well?
I've seen her a few times when
their marriage came up.
I've heard there was strong opposition
to Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's marriage.
Me?
From Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's mother.
But, why are you suddenly
asking about such things?
Yoon Hye Jin's case perpetrator
is the same as Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju's cases?
You seem to have a lot of interest
in the investigation.
Because it involves Director Cha,
whom I care about.
Do you remember where you were
on the day of Mr. Nam Gi Taek's death?
What? You mean me?
It's a formal question.
I drank at a bar I often go to.
You remember it clearly.
Yes.
The next day, I was struggling with a hangover,
but seeing the article about
Mr. Nam Gi Taek snapped me out of it.
Ah, that day was also plastered
with articles about Director Cha.
You must be quite close to Director Cha.
Of course, we are like brothers.
But last week, you came to our hospital
and mentioned investigating
Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's case, didn't you?
Well… yes, I did.
Then, why are you suddenly
asking about Mr. Nam Gi Taek?
Ah! Does it have something
to do with Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's case?
Do you happen to have the keyring?
This is also a formal, I mean…
It is not a formal question.
Please answer precisely.
Well, I…
Of course…
I don't have it.
I lost it.
But the only doctor likely to have it
would be our Director.
After our Director finishes his volunteer work,
he likes to collect items for certification.
Hmm…
It was displayed in the hospital's showcase,
but someone took it.
It suddenly disappeared.
When was that?
Ah, this is tricky.
I'm not sure.
But, the owner of this keyring is
the criminal of Nam Gi Taek
and Nam Hyo Ju's cases?
You have the keyring that was a souvenir
at that time, don't you?
No, I don't have it.
Weren't you the one who organized it?
Then, at least a souvenir…
It wasn't really something to commemorate,
since it's something I do often.
The day Mr. Nam Gi Taek died,
do you remember where you were
and what you were doing?
Well, I must have been at home, right?
I usually spend time alone quietly after work.
Were you at home with someone?
I'm a middle-aged person living alone.
Excuse me?
I…
I'm a middle-aged person who lives alone.
Ah…
Then, during the Nam Hyo Ju case, too?
Well… I must have been at home.
Perhaps…
You didn't take or send
the photos that were on the phone, did you?
I don't remember doing that.
Hey, do you really not know anything at all?
Seriously!
I'm just dying, trying to do surgery
and drinking like crazy.
Then, did our idle director hear anything?
Ah, darn it…
Don't you know me at all?
Do I look like the kind of person
who just knows things? Like who?
Madam, are you finished?
Yes.
You came out earlier than I thought.
What's there to talk about for so long?
Mother, do you perhaps know something…
Jeez, this coffee tastes horribly awful.
What kind of situation is this, really?
According to the investigation
records at the time,
there was content suggesting your
disapproval of your son's marriage.
You didn't take or send
the photos that were on the phone, did you?
[Private Investigation - Trust Company
We find people for you]
Due to the incident seven
years ago, he suddenly quit.
I do have the address where he used to live,
but it's been a long time…
[Statement by Yoon Seo Hee]
[Statement by Kim Seok Hoon]
Is there something wrong?
Just checking if there's anything
that could be wrong, you know.
How are Nam Hyo Ju's case suspect
movements being tracked?
Ah… we tracked down to the subway station,
but he just jumped over the ticket gates.
We need to check all the
subway CCTV footage, obviously.
Keep following him.
We need to confirm the final movements
to match with the people investigated
so we can try to match them.
But Dr. Cha Jeong Woo's mother,
isn't she a bit strange?
In what way?
The fact that she said she doesn't
remember when asked about the photo.
There's no way she couldn't remember
something like that.
Maybe,
she hired someone to separate
Cha Jeong Woo and Yoon Hye Jin.
We don't know the person, after all.
[Statement by Yoon Seo Hee]
[Yoon Hye Jin and Nam Gi Taek murder case]
They said you quit all of a sudden.
Am I being misunderstood right now?
Depends on your answer.
You're just as I've heard.
I don't mean it in a bad way.
"Honest, unpretentious. That's his charm."
Ms. Hye Jin talked so much about you.
Um…
Me quitting dancing
isn't completely unrelated to Hye Jin.
She supported me a lot,
but it didn't go well without her.
And that incident…
It was quite a shock for me too.
Around that time, is there anything
you might know about Hye Jin?
But… why come to me now?
Is there anything
you might know about Hye Jin?
But… why come to me now?
This belongs to her.
I thought you'd come to find it right away.
Ah, and about that photo,
Hye Jin had it on her phone too.
Ms. Hye Jin's reaction
was a bit unusual at that time,
so it stuck in my memory.
Huh? That's me, right?
Yes, it's you.
Wow… this is just perfect
for misunderstanding, isn't it?
Ms. Hye Jin, who took this? Your boyfriend?
Eh? Jeong Woo isn't that kind of person.
Then who was it?
Why do you care? I don't even care.
But I'm involved too…
Did you report it?
Geez, who is it?
Do you know this person?
Come on, let's start over.
There were a few more pictures
with a similar vibe.
But she didn't pay much attention to it.
Similar pictures, you say?
It looked like she was alone with another man,
as if it was intentionally
made to feel that way.
Maybe someone harbored
ill will towards Hye Jin,
and wanted to break up your marriage?
[The password is incorrect, please try again]
[The number of attempts was exceeded]
[Please try again in 1 minute]
It seems Nam Gi Taek and Hye Jin cases
might be related.
I heard something came up
during Nam Hyo Ju's case.
Really?
Since evidence has emerged,
they'll find it soon enough.
Do you want another can?
I don't know why I lived like that.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I don't really know anything about Hye Jin.
What was going on around her,
why she was struggling…
It's not like you to blame yourself.
Having lived with no feelings or plans.
Meeting Hye Jin changed everything.
My work, my emotions, my plans.
I said so many things,
but I…
I know nothing about Hye Jin.
So what?
What are you going to do now?
I have to find him, somehow.
The real culprit.
I think I saw that guy.
Jeong Woo,
have you thought about it?
What do you want to do when you find him?
You said everything changed
when you met Hye Jin.
If you meet that guy,
everything might change again.
Please operate just like this,
like the face in the picture.
Then, cheekbone contouring surgery,
raising the bridge of the nose,
and nostrils reduction must also be included,
up to the lower eyelid tailoring…
I'll do it. I'll just do it.
To make an accurate diagnosis,
we need your surgical history.
If you've had plastic surgery before…
Last year, I had it done
with ear cartilage, but
it didn't seem high enough,
so I redid it with silicone.
Did you also do the tip of your nose?
Yes, but,
it still seems a bit low,
so I'm considering raising it a bit more.
Then, by any chance,
have you ever had contouring surgery?
Well… two years ago,
but there was hardly any difference.
As for whether surgery is possible,
it seems like you'll have to consult
with our director first.
These days, many people
bring retouched photos, you know.
Even so, it's more realistic
than bringing in celebrity photos
and asking for surgery to look like them.
But the problem is when it's excessive.
Plastic surgery isn't as simple
as retouching with an app, is it?
There must be a reason they call it
"Snapchat dysmorphia", right?
Indeed.
[Snapchat Dysmorphia: discrepancy between
retouched photos and real appearance]
[Symptoms of obsession with dissatisfaction]
If only I could just come out
looking like the photos.
Me too?
During the last surgery,
the silicone was inserted a bit too high,
and it's not fitting snugly,
plus the skin has thinned out.
Rather than replacing it
with a higher silicone piece,
I would recommend removing the implant.
What about the contour?
To make it like the photo, a significant
amount needs to be reduced,
and quite a forward movement
of the chin tip would be necessary.
Your own chin,
wouldn't see a great effect
from a contouring surgery,
given the shape of your face.
Then what about the eyes?
It's impossible to increase the size
of the eyes to match the photo.
Can't you just… do it somewhat like this?
It's not like I'm asking you to
make me into someone else's face.
After all, this face is still my face.
But to my eyes, it looks like someone else's.
No, doctor.
This is definitely my face.
I took the photo myself.
Yes, it is indeed you.
But you've overly retouched it.
I really need the surgery…
What's the matter? Are you okay?
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
You're a doctor too, aren't you?
Yes, well, as you can see.
Could I possibly have a consultation
from you?
- Pardon?
- Because of someone,
I live as a suspect of having killed someone.
Thank you, Director.
Ah. What is it? Why are you being so scary?
Are you throwing a preemptive strike
in case I say something to you?
Both me and my mother
know that you're looking out for us.
This guy…
If you know, then do well.
Then, Nam Hyo Ju's surgery,
are you doing it with Woo Jin?
Skin grafting and reconstructing
around the eyes, you can cover it alone.
It's easier to do it together.
Is that your idea or Woo Jin's?
Why does it matter whose idea it is?
It's about paying more attention.
Are you doing this because
you think it's your fault?
It's not a surgery that takes a lot of time.
I'll adjust the schedule.
People around Dr. Cha Jeong Woo,
in the past and present too.
I don't remember doing that.
Because it involves Director Cha,
whom I care about.
You must be quite close to Director Cha.
Of course, we are like brothers
A person so shocking
that he'd reject the memory.
Isn't that a bit strange?
No matter how close,
do you call a friend's mother "Mom"?
Detective Lee?
A person who wishes to never return
to Cha Jeong Woo's memory.
We can just reset the password,
but I can't guarantee
the preservation of the memory.
Is there no other way?
If resetting is not possible,
you have to do it manually.
It seems like a few have been pressed often.
0, 2, 7.
I will apply for a retrial
of Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's murder case.
Please write your name at the end and sign it.
[Petition for Retrial]
If someone had looked a little closer,
they would have known something was wrong.
Who am I to blame now? It's all my fault.
Life is just…
It's my fault for living recklessly.
It's everyone's fault.
I will scrutinize each mistake,
so it won't be easy.
Ah, just because the retrial
petition is accepted,
it doesn't immediately mean
Mr. Lee Jin Seok is innocent.
If the real culprit is not caught,
can't I be found not guilty?
Don't worry,
that won't happen.
- Did you find something?
- Did something came out?
Regarding that,
could I also receive some counseling?
The relationship between
Han Woo Jin and Cha Jeong Woo?
What's the reason for asking?
The two seem very different,
how did they become friends?
- Actually…
- Character and environments are different too.
I know it was when
Woo Jin was in middle school.
The reason Woo Jin could study
for medical school steadily was
thanks to Jeong Woo's mother's guardianship.
Since Woo Jin is so sociable,
he befriended Jeong Woo too.
Anyway, Woo Jin
had a hard time between
Jeong Woo and his mother.
It seems like a few have been pressed often.
0, 2, 7.
The day I first met Hye Jin…
July.
[Welcome]
[Photos]
[Police Report]
Director, we're ready for
patient Nam Hyo Ju's surgery.
Ok.
Proactively dealing
with Cha Jeong Woo's affairs.
Right, I thought it was too good to be true.
Always looking interested…
Because he didn't want to pour his emotions
into patients who were dying or living.
That's why he switched to plastic surgery.
The reason Woo Jin could study
for medical school steadily was
thanks to Jeong Woo's mother's guardianship.
Just for that reason, did they become friends?
Something's a bit…
Seemingly one-sided, though.
If, not as friends…
- I'll go in first.
- Okay.
If it was an action to survive…
On the day of the incident,
no alibi and similar physical appearance.
Let's anesthetize.
Yes, starting anesthesia.
Administering the anesthetic.
Patient,
you will start to feel sleepy soon.
Please pull from the other side.
Is it okay?
It's slightly up, but it's fine.
Please begin.
[Seo Gang Ho]
The movements of the guy with the hat,
the assailant of Nam Hyo Ju.
Oh, has the final route been confirmed?
Ah, it's not the final one.
The exit where he got of the subway…
Which exit?
That…
Perhaps,
is it towards KSH Cosmetic Surgery?
He had heard Nam Gi Taek's
address that day and knew it.
You need to tell me the address.
She said she saw the perpetrator
on the day of the incident, right?
I'll leave right away. Yes.
And he knew there was a witness.
