Gyeyoung, hang in there, okay?
How did I make it back?
And what happened to Eun Gyeyoung who escaped from that place with me?
Dahyun!
What really happened that night
eighteen years ago?
MOM'S SECRET
I've regained my memories, Mom.
Not completely,
But a big part of it.
I had a dream for the first time in a long time.
A dream?
About that day 18 years ago
when Dahyun disappeared.
She keeps throwing a fuss saying if there's anything
we need to tell her or are keeping from her,
so I can't sleep well.
So much time has gone by,
but I still remember it so clearly
as if it happened just yesterday.
I'm sorry.
What are you going to do now?
I have no idea.
AN JUNGHO
I wonder what's going on.
Was it you?
- What? - Was it you?
What are you talking about? Explain yourself.
That stalker Lee Jingeun.
Did you kill him?
- What? - Who? He died?
It wasn't you?
No?
Her hand slipped.
Her hand slipped through mine.
I left her behind, Gyehoon.
I'm sorry.
Let's break up.
Let's break up,
Gyehoon.
I can't talk right now...
Okay.
What's going on?
They foundâ€¦
Jingeun.
Where?
The refrigerator.
What?
His body was found inside of the refrigerator.
My goodness.
A body was found in a refrigerator? How could this be?
Who is it? Who died?
Who knows?
What's the point of this?
- There is no evidence left here. - We still need to follow protocol.
But you already know that all the CCTVs in this neighborhood are broken or fake.
Who in the world broke that?
If that was working, we could've caught the killer right away.
Lee Jingeun. He probably didn't see this coming.
You never know what's around the corner.
- Excuse me. - What's wrong?
What are you talking about?
It was Lee Jingeun?
He died?
He diedâ€¦ I see.
Do you know Lee Jingeun?
How do you know him?
What?
How else?
- He's Dahyun's stalker. - What?
Most of the townsfolk know about him.
- Right, honey? - Yes.
- Everyone knows, right? - Yes, of course.
- Is that right? - No, I didn't know.
- Me neither. - No.
You guys should care more about our neighborhood.
- There was a stalker? - A stalker?
Gather around.
To catch the culprit,
we have to find someone with a motive.
- Are you saying Dahyun did it? - Jeez.
I think the chef is more suspicious than Dahyun.
That makes sense. There's something going on between the two.
- That's right. - Yes.
They might even be accomplices.
- No way. That's ridiculous. - My goodness.
Yes, they could be accomplices. Seriously.
- How terrible. - In this neighborhood,
do you accuse people without any evidence?
Raise your hand if you had laid a finger on that refrigerator even once.
I can identify you by checking the fingerprints.
- Put your hand up. - No, not me.
- I saw you. - No, I didn't.
- Just raise your hand. - Butâ€¦
All of you with your hands up are suspects.
- What? - Suspects?
Sorry, my bad. You're all references. Please keep that in mind.
A detective will come see you individually or call you to the police station.
- Are you calling us criminals? - How can you do that to us?
- I only touched it once. - That's ridiculous.
Gyehoon.
The light is green now.
What?
Oh, sorry.
Are you okay?
No.
Let me stop for a second. I have too much on my mind.
Lee Jingeun's killerâ€¦
was probably him.
He was probably the one who took Gyeyoung and me.
Right.
And maybe
I'll become the prime suspect.
Why?
I was the last person who saw Lee Jingeun,
and I also beat him up that day.
They'll find my DNA on him.
But don't worry.
I filed a report with the police, and the investigation can't be so sloppy.
You're right.
Nothing is going to happen to you.
No wonder you have a lot on your mind.
On top of that,
you want to break up.
I'll start driving.
- My goodness. - Please step aside.
- He is inside. - The ambulance is here.
How can this happen?
- Unbelievable. - Seriously.
- I know. - Here they come.
- Jeez. - He really is dead.
It was like a scene from a movie.
The past events flashed before my eyes.
Is there someone else now?
- Boo! - Oh, gosh!
Mom!
The person who I really wanted out of my life the mostâ€¦
actually disappeared.
Gyehoon.
Did you hear that the stalker is dead?
Did you hear, Dahyun?
Yes.
Yes, we heard.
How is that he was in our refrigerator?
Right hereâ€¦ Right under our noses?
It's completely ridiculous.
I'm so scared, Gyehoon.
Gosh, darn it.
What? What now?
The fish.
The fish?
My octopus and shrimp.
Seriouslyâ€¦
I know what you're all thinking.
You might be thinking that
this isn't the time to worry about scallop and prepare octopus and shrimp.
But he has reached his limit.
That's what happens every time. He creates work for himself.
Anyway, he is out of his mind.
That works. I'm like that too.
My head hurts, which tells me that I'm at my limit too.
Oh, no. It's all melted.
We can't refreeze them anyway, so let's just eat them.
We have to postpone the opening again.
I'll send a cancellation message to the guests first.
Okay, let's get busy.
"I will inform you later."
Why isn't she picking up? She's ignoring my texts too.
What's the point of having a phone?
She's driving me crazy.
You're making me feel dizzy.
My head is spinning.
Isn't yours?
No, because I'm out of my mind.
Let's just go.
Go where?
Let's go check the restaurant
or wait for her in the alley. That'll be better.
Why couldn't I think of that?
MOTHER'S TASTE CHOONOK STEW
- I think she's back. - Where?
You're right.
You brat! Why don't you pick up...
Mom.
What's all this?
Perfect timing.
Please join us.
This is the most expensive one here. It's my treat.
By the way,
you all know what's going on out there, right?
You know Lee Jingeun died, right?
Yes, we all know.
That's why we're celebrating.
But is it okay to do this because he's a bad guy?
Do you think it's okay we have a feast
and celebrate that he died?
Some even hand out celebratory rice cakes.
If this was a movie,
it'd be equivalent to the death of the greatest villain.
So why can't we have a feast
or enjoy some flowers?
We have no use for these ingredients and the flowers anyway.
Of course, we can have a feast.
Don't you agree, Mom?
I don't know about that,
but it'll be a shame to let such fancy food go to waste.
Absolutely.
It's not much, but I hope you enjoy.
It is a lot.
We're the ones who cooked.
I know. I said it out of habit.
Let it go.
Please go ahead and eat.
What's this?
What's this? It's so delicious.
What's this? What is this made from?
- Wow... - Wait.
By any chance,
it's not one of us, right?
I'll be honest.
I wish I were the one who killed him,
but sadly, it wasn't me.
- What about you? - No.
Unfortunately, it wasn't me either.
What about you two?
No.
Then who on earth was it?
JIHWA PATROL UNIT
Are we taking too much home?
- It's okay. - Bye.
Are you okay, Eunjung?
Of course. I'm totally fine.
I don't think so. Just stay over at our place.
I can go home. I'm not that drunk.
Hey, butâ€¦
Don't worry about me, everyone.
Bye!
Get home safely.
Gosh.
I thought I was almost there.
I know who took your sister.
How is your father?
Just tell me who ordered you to bring Gyeyoung there.
Who was he?
The person you're looking for isâ€¦
I had so many chances.
So many chances!
It reallyâ€¦
wasn't you, right?
No. Why would I?
If one of us killed him, it'd be either you or Grandma, not me.
Hey.
Eunjung must be crying so much right now.
Dajung, you look more beautiful today.
I felt great today,
so I had a drink.
Because Lee Jingeun died.
So you should
rest in peace now.
Forget how you were wronged,
and don't be hurtâ€¦
or be afraid anymore.
Just rest in peace, Dajung.
I miss you.
What should I do now?
I've only been living to catch and kill that scumbag.
What do I do now?
How can I live onâ€¦
How many secrets have been buried with you?
Tell me, Lee Jingeun.
Whoâ€¦
killed you?
You know what?
It's useless killing me now!
Why is it useless?
It's almost all back.
Dahyun's memories are almost all back.
She'll
remember you soon enough.
Or maybeâ€¦ she already does.
Then I should go see Dahyun.
For what?
I'll know once I see her.
Whether she really remembers me,
or
You're just lying to me.
What if she does remember you?
If she doesâ€¦
You like Dahyun, don't you?
I'll let you reunite with her soon.
Let's break up.
It's hitting me now
that I broke up with Gyehoon today.
Because of Lee Jingeun, I had no chance to feel sad about my break-up.
He's a nuisance to the end.
ONE UNREAD MESSAGE
Are you asleep?
CHEF EUN GYEHOON
ARE YOU ASLEEP?
I guess you're still up since you checked my message.
No, I'm sleeping.
It's been a while since I've heard you lie.
What?
Can you come by the restaurant?
Why?
We still need to resolve something.
You said we need to resolve something.
I'm not breaking up with you.
- What? - That's all I had to say.
Do you want some tea or coffee?
Maybe it's too late for coffee.
Wine, then.
You can't just decide that on your own.
What about you?
- What? - You did the same thing to me earlier.
But I thoroughly explained my reasons.
Your reasons?
Your reasons, I see.
I didn't know you for 20 something years.
I've known you only for a few months.
But those few months have beenâ€¦
more meaningful to me than those 20 years.
Time has a different meaning to me now.
Before I met you, everything was a blur.
I just felt like I was barely surviving.
I know I sound weak-minded to say this,
but even if my life were to end wherever any moment,
I wouldn't have cared at all except for leaving my mother behind.
That's how I felt.
But
everything changed after meeting you.
In such a brief period of time,
I've become someone who cannot live without you,
and I even thought
that life
could be quite enjoyable.
So,
don't abandon me.
I don't mean to abandon youâ€¦
But will you really be okay?
Wouldn't you feel tormented every time you see me?
No.
I'll be okay.
It'll be painful.
I'll manage.
To be honest,
I didn't want to break up either.
I know.
Gyeyoung, you go first.
What are you saying?
I can't hear you.
What?
Again, Gyeyoung.
Say it again. Eun Gyeyoung.
Grandma.
Are you up? Let's go eat breakfast.
What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare again?
Yes.
What did you dream about this time?
I dreamed about the time I got kidnapped 18 years ago.
It's okay.
Not completely, but I've regained a big part of my memories.
I'm not sure why you and Mom
are keeping that incident a secret from me,
but I'm looking into it on my own.
- Dahyun. - Now it makes sense why you told me
not to turn around.
You were worried that I'd be hurt and wouldn't be able to move forward.
But Grandma,
I'm okay. So please don't worry.
In any case,
Eun Gyeyoung definitely told me something.
What? Eun Gyeyoung?
Yes.
When Gyeyoung and I were kidnapped together,
she definitely told me something.
But that memory is so blurry.
What on earth did she say?
- Bokhee. - Yes?
What's wrong? You're scaring me.
My heart sinks whenever I see that expression on your face.
What's going on?
What do we do?
Get up.
It's almost lunch time already.
Get up now and distribute the leftovers to the neighbors.
We have so much left.
What's wrong? Are you crying?
I couldn't show it yesterday given the celebratory mood,
but our soft opening got postponed again.
I'm so sad about it.
How is it that every time we try to open, someone wields a knife
or shows up dead? This is ridiculous.
You know how some locations
always have a new store every time you go, right?
It doesn't do well there no matter who runs it.
This place is like that.
Don't jinx it.
It's already jinxed.
So let's leave.
You, me, and Gaehoon.
We're a family. Let's start afresh elsewhere.
How are you, me, and him a family?
What do you think?
Tell me, Eun Gaehoon.
Hey, that's not his name. Why does he get my last name?
Because you're his dad and I'm his mom.
I don't think so.
Gyehoon. Think about it carefully.
Yes.
Yes, that's right.
Please text me the date and time.
Thank you.
I've been asked to be questioned as a reference.
They'll call me soon too then.
I'll go give this to someone.
To whom?
The suspect from a long time ago.
What?
I want toâ€¦
apologize to him first.
POLICE JIHWA PATROL UNIT
Say it straight.
Where were you and what were you doing yesterday and the day before that?
Don't make me repeat it!
Why aren't you saying anything?
Come on. Say it!
I'm telling you! Han Euichan is the killer!
Seriously.
What? Hey, Ji Wontak.
What are you doing here?
Hey!
Have you lost your mind? What's the matter with you?
You punk. What's wrong with you?
You littleâ€¦
Seâ€¦
RESCUE
Tell me.
What's going on?
Why are you doing this?
Why can't you just tell me?
We'll transfer you to a hospital for further treatment.
Are you okay?
That punk sneaked up on me and attacked from behind.
Hey, Jungho. You know how good I am.
I wouldn't be beaten up by a little punk like that.
I'm still strong and healthy.
I don't need this!
Come on, Younghwan.
Where do you think you're going? Just go to the hospital.
Hey, I'm stronger than I look.
I don't need to go to the hospital for a minor injury like this, okay?
See? I'm completely fine.
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Why did you pop out of nowhere and follow me around?
I'm checking just in case.
I wouldn't want you to collapse from a concussion.
Don't underestimate me.
Wouldn't you be happy?
Don't you wish that I just collapse and die?
Maybe that's what Ji Wontak wants.
But why would I?
Gone missing?
She's gone missing in broad daylight?
The thing is that I can sense how Gyeyoung feels.
She is so scared right now.
I'm sure something terrible happened to her.
My goodness. You little punks.
Don't joke around.
- I'm not joking. - He's really not joking.
Hey, the police station isn't a playground.
Go find a playground, okay?
Let's go.
Okay.
Forget it.
Ji Wontak and Iâ€¦
are looking for the culprit
who took my sister 18 years ago.
What?
And Lee Jingeun's killerâ€¦
is probably him from 18 years ago.
I'm saying that you gotâ€¦
the wrong guy.
Let's go.
Did everything go well?
Yes.
I'm not busy, so I'm taking a walk.
Should I come along?
I'd like that.
Let's go, Gaehoon.
GGOMJIRAK BAR
Stop walking on eggshells around me.
It's a part of my job. To catch the bad guys,
I beat them up and get beaten up too in the process.
It's no big deal.
So who beat you up?
Hey!
Let's just drink.
Sejin, please stop. Okay?
Sejin, please stop.
Han Sejin.
Isn't that Dongnam?
Yes, it is.
Dongnam, I called you, but you didn't pick up.
What's going on? Are you guys drinking?
Join us for a drink.
I'll go first then. Have a quick drink and come home.
Jeez.
Why don't you join us for a drink too, ma'am?
Ma'am, it's been so long.
- One more glass, please. - Okay.
Someone was found dead.
You shouldn't be sitting around and drinking here.
The detectives are taking over from here, so it doesn't matter.
But how is that people keep dropping dead?
Tell me about it.
But he deserved to die.
- What? - He was a stalker.
He was a bad guy, you know?
Do you know who killed him?
How would we know that?
Oh, come on. You're the police.
But don't you have possible suspects?
Who?
Of course, Eun Gyehoon or the stew place.
What?
That's ridiculous.
Stop spewing nonsense. Got it?
He didn't say anything wrong.
The refrigerator that the stalker was in belongs to Eun Gyehoon.
The stew place is suspicious too.
It's understandable they'd want to kill him since he was stalking Dahyun.
Those ladies always carry around tools to begin with.
He didn't say anything wrong.
That's enough, sir.
Okay?
We did the same thing 18 years ago.
We kept doubting each other over and over again.
Do you want that again?
Of course you don't.
You. Watch your mouth.
Jeez, okay.
Looking back to that time 18 years agoâ€¦
Only Dongsook was happy.
What do you mean?
We were all considered potential suspects.
Dongnam was the only one with a solid alibi. Right?
Because he was living in the countryside for work.
I barely remember it.
Since I had a drink, I'll get going. Don't drink too much.
My goodness.
What were they rambling on?
They talk so much.
What do they even know?
They talk so much. So annoying.
Did you drink a lot?
They were so ridiculous.
What are you talking about?
Did you hear what they said?
They said, I must've been happy
since you weren't in Jihwa-dong when Eun Gyeyoung went missing.
What about it?
You were in Jihwa-dong that day.
I'm your wife.
I can tell just by smelling the air in the house
whether you've been home or not.
What is it that you want to say?
You've been drinking every day ever since Eun Gyehoon returned.
You had never been this pathetic. You hadn't totally given up like this.
You keep drinking every day
and saying nonsense to yourself.
Iâ€¦ am your wife.
I'm on your side.
So tell me.
Just tell me everything. I'll help you.
You'll help me?
I'll be understanding of everything.
Really?
Will you still understand and help meâ€¦
even if I killed someone?
Yes.
Iâ€¦
Do have a big worry.
It's just one matter.
It doesn't go away
and keeps lingering in front of me. That thing.
What is it?
It's right behind you.
What was she trying to tell me?
Do you want to grab a drink with me?
A drink?
I'll wait for you downstairs. Come down.
Dahyun.
- Yes, Grandma? - Come here for a second.
What's wrong?
No matter what your mom says, try to be understanding.
Okay?
Why aren't we just drinking at home or at our restaurant?
I'm trying to set the mood.
The owner lets you drink as long as you want if there are no customers
and leaves the place to you.
It's nice and quiet.
- A soju and beer mix? - Sure, sounds good.
Once you taste this,
you'll never be satisfied with anyone else's mix, you know?
I guess you've never tasted mine. Mine's great too.
It's not something to be proud of.
It's not surprising. You take after me.
Of course, I take after you.
I can't believe you're all grown-up.
It's quite good.
I don't know about your cooking, but your drink is quite good.
Don't be a smart mouth.
Feel free to drink as you wish.
Thank you. Good night.
- See? - She is so cool.
I'll tell you
everything that happened on that day 18 years ago.
I was much younger than you are now.
I became pregnant with you and was living with your dad.
Those timesâ€¦
were pure hell for me.
I somehow managed to get away from your dad.
But I didn't have an education or any skills.
I had a pathetic job
and no money. My lifeâ€¦
was so miserable.
You were
my source of hope
as well as despair.
Taking care of myself was difficult enough.
You were so little, and I didn't know how to provide for you
and protect you from the dangers of this world.
I was getting exhausted little by little.
The day you went missingâ€¦
I didn't even realize that you were gone.
I'm home.
Are you sleeping already?
Dahyun, I'm leaving.
You brat, aren't you going to say bye to me?
Where did she go so early in the morning?
I'M GOING TO WORKâ€¦
I'M GOING TO WORK. MAKE SURE YOU EAT
Dahyun, I'm home.
Dahyun!
Okay, teacher.
I'll call you back. Okay.
Excuse me, one second.
Yes? May I help you?
Have you seen my daughter Dahyun?
Is she at your house playing again?
No, she isn't. I haven't seen her.
She isn't there either?
Why?
Oh, no! Dahyun's missing too?
What do you mean?
Dr. Eun's daughter is missing too, so it's total chaos.
The police and the neighbors
are all out looking for her, so the whole town is empty.
You didn't know about it?
My goodness.
Mother, it's me.
Jungho, please find Dahyun for me.
Wait for me. I'll be right there.
Jungho, Dahyun is gone.
What?
What are you talking about? What do you mean, Dahyun is gone?
Mother, I don't know what happened.
What do you mean, Dahyun is gone?
Dahyun.
Dahyun!
Dahyun.
Dahyun!
Dahyun.
Dahyun!
I was out of my mind looking for you everywhere.
And a miracle happened.
I found you a lot sooner
than I had expected.
Do you remember?
The last memory I have
is after escaping from that place,
running together with Gyeyoung holding hands.
We kept running and running,
but Gyeyoung's hand slipped through mine.
After that, I fell after running as fast as I could.
But I have no memories of what happened next.
When I found you,
you were lying on the ground.
And
you weren't alone.
Wake up.
Let's go home.
Dahyun! Oh, gosh!
Who the heck are you?
Get out of my way.
If you don't want to die.
Why are you doing this?
Out of my way.
Hey!
Damn itâ€¦
Dahyun.
Wake up, sweetie.
Oh, my daughter.
But
that personâ€¦
died.
I killedâ€¦
I killed a person.
My mom killed the culprit?
Then who killed Lee Jingeun?
There is more than one person.
What?
There is more than one person outside.
There was more than one person.
What about Eun Gyeyoung?
What happened to Eun Gyeyoung?
When will you stop following me around?
Please help me.
What?
Sir, please help me.
Seriously, when will you stop following me around?
I'll head out first.
Don't worry. I'll go home after taking a walk.
Noh Dahyun.
I wonder if she is okay.
There is more than one person.
There is more than one person outside.
LINK
Tell me you didn't do it.
I'm sorry.
Why?
You shouldn't have remembered.
If I turned myself in, we could've found her too.
If you're going to justify your actions on the pretext of motherly love,
I don't want to hear it.
I want you to live forever with regret and guilt.
It was wise to leave this place.
Coming back was the worst decision ever.
Then what about Dahyun?
I can't break up with you.
But I can't hold onto you either, even if you break up with me.
