(Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism)

(All characters, organizations, )

(and events in this drama are fictitious.)

That was a lie, right?

You lied about giving him 20,000 dollars.

How did you know that?

I died...

(Single items)

from an industrial accident.

That's why I was given
the VIP room at the hospital.

There's something I really
want to do for my wife.

I think that's why I couldn't leave.

Then why did you do that?

Because I can't let him sell the taxi.

He's my only rescue line.

It has to work out,

no matter what.

This ghost taxi.

(Taxi stop)

Gangnam Station, exit two, please.

Suyu-dong, Gwangsan Crossroad.

Daerim 1-dong, 39, please.

I'll get you there safely.

I paid back everything.

You don't need to worry about
money anymore, Grandma.

Do everything you want to do.

Goodness.

I'm proud of you.

He's coming.

(Delivery Man)

(Episode 2)

I can't give you 20,000 dollars,
but I can give you 2,000 dollars.

I have a gold bar that I've hidden.

I died at work only one
month after I got married.

It bothers me that...

I couldn't place a bathtub at our house.

Oh, dear.

So Yeon works standing up all day.

There's no tub even if she
wants to take a lower-body bath.

I've lived all my life without a bathtub.

So back then, I didn't place
it because it was expensive.

But now, I regret it.

How sad.

How about just helping him?

You crooks.

My grandmother and I might have
to be out in the streets, you know?

Do you know what you trampled on?

You don't have to be so harsh.

So Yeon.

So Yeon.

So Yeon.

Please. Just this once.

Whatever. I've been scammed.

Please.

So Yeon.

Come on.

I don't know.

Park Gu Man, who we're going to meet now...

refused to give a statement
because he was having an affair...

at the motel, and he even lied.

So I heard he caused
confusion in the investigation.

These are the taxi drivers
on the list of suspects...

drawn from their call
records and location tracking.

Choi Geun Soo, Park Gu
Man, and Kim Jin Sook.

The elevator is going up.

Hello, I'm Detective Baek Tae
Woo from Dongpa Police Station.

What?

We're here to reinvestigate the
12th July case of 3 months ago.

Mr. Seo.

Where do you think you're coming?

You crook.

I'm the fool to trust a ghost.

Should I really sell the taxi?

Mr. Seo.

But it wasn't a 100 percent lie.

He has a gold bar.

The construction wouldn't take long.

It would be a profit for you
if you receive 2,000 dollars.

It can't be perfect on the first try.

It will get better...

as you do things 1 by 1.

"The one and only ghost taxi."

You tricked me with that.

Do you know how much thought
I put in before selling the taxi?

Do you know what that taxi...

means for me?

I also thought he'd be
able to give you the money.

Still, it's so unfortunate.

He died only a month after he got married.

You startled me, Grandma.
I asked you to knock.

Who are you talking to?

What?

Actually,

I was watching something
here. I just turned it off.

Is that so?

Could you take a look at the toilet pipe?

The water is leaking again.

Okay. I'll take a look.

Why did I hide? I can't be seen anyway.

Mom, I also want to have a bathtub.

I promise I'll get you one later.

Promise.

That's right.

He was cute when he was young.

All he cares about is money now.

Why can't he just do it for him?

He doesn't seem to have
any awards for good grades.

But he has two perfect attendance awards.

Seo Young Min.

Everyone has a name.

Why can't I seem to remember mine?

I'm also curious...

about whether I have a family, friend,

or lover.

I told her not to come.

I'm going to make her pay rent too.

That damn ghost.

I always succeed in resuscitation.

That thrill...

when you save the person in the end.

Why is Dr. Kim such a show-off?

Men all live with such pride in themselves.

Sir?

- Let's inject him first. - Okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey! You can't even do this well?

You...

This isn't acceptable.

You shouldn't do this.

We can report it for violence.

Don't do this.

Come with me.

(Deahun Medical Center)

You're not used to
starting an IV yet, right?

We use thicker needles
than other departments,

like 18 or 20-gauge needles.

So make sure you practice.

Okay.

If you don't have any arms to practice on,

you can practice on
that arm that looks idle.

Let's get back to work.

This isn't right.

Don't sell the car. Please?

I really can't see it.

It's sad enough that I died.

Couldn't you just grant me that wish?

Fine. Go ahead and sell the taxi.

Just sell it!

(Used Cars)

Isn't this the way to Byung Chul's house?

Do you really have a gold bar?

Of course. I kept it secret.

You kept secret money a
month after you got married?

Didn't you say you love your wife so much?

Well,

it's almost ten years since we met.

I didn't tell her because I
wanted to give her a special gift.

She'd want to use it as our
living expense if I told her.

How are you going to bring it?

I hid it in the phone I used before.

I can find it right away.

How will you get inside the house?

Information is key in such matters.

You have to pretend
you're their acquaintance.

Tell us about your wife.

From the first time you met,
when you dated, and marriage life.

Were you a scammer before?

I don't remember.

That's not the point now.

Tell us.

I knew So Yeon...

my whole life,

but I never knew I'd marry her.

How did you two meet?

I met her at the orphanage.

I never thought I'd date her.

Kids in the orphanage
know each other so well.

I was working at a cafe while
applying for jobs. By coincidence...

Byung Chul.

This is So Yeon. She'll be working with us.

No,

by fate, we met again.

You have to close the lid.

Don't forget.

Would it be okay if I be with you...

when you're sick and troubled?

For ten years since that
day, until we got married,

we both cared for each other so much.

But...

I'm the horrible one.

It's not your fault.

Just focus on what you'll do for your wife.

You said that was why you were still here.

Yes.

By the way, why am I still here?

Kim Byung Chul's hometown is Ssangmun-dong.

You're his junior in high school.

Kim Sung Joo is his friend,

and you're Kim Sung Joo's cousin.

Do we really have to do this?

Then how do you plan on entering the house?

If a strange man knocks
on the door and says,

"I'm here to do some construction."

"Welcome."

"What took you so long?"

Do you think she'll say that?

Excuse me.

Who are you?

Hello. I'm Byung Chul's
junior in high school.

Gosh.

His high school friend is Kim Sung Joo.

Kim Sung Joo is your cousin.

You know Sung Joo, right?

I'm his cousin.

Before Byung Chul died...

Who would open the
door if you say it like that?

It's all your fault if this
gets ruined. You get it?

Who knew this was going to be so hard?

Do something about it.

Gosh.

Sung Joo's...

cousin?

What brings you here?

Are you okay?

Mr. Seo. Are you crying?

I'm sorry.

Byung Chul...

asked me to place a bathtub here...

before he passed away.

I heard you wanted to have a bathtub.

Who would have thought
he'd leave so suddenly?

Our driver has some talent.

Would you...

come in?

You have to go inside the
small room to get the gold bar.

This is the kitchen, the washroom
and the small room are here.

To go inside the small room,

you have to get away from So Yeon.

How do we do that?

You rented the place, right?

Yes.

How about I ask her to
look for the rental contract?

I can tell her I need
to check some details.

That's a good idea. You're smart.

In the bottom drawer of the
dresser in the small room,

I kept the phones I used before.

If you open the back of the phone...

The rental contract?

Yes.

Hold on.

I'll keep an eye on her, then.

Let's go to the small room.

Come on.

Why can't I do it?

It was right here.

Open the one above it.

All right.

We still have time.

- She found it. - Just a little more time.

It's right there!

She really found it!

Goodness.

(Rental Agreement)

No.

She's going out.

Did you find it?

(Rental Agreement)

I'm grateful you came to visit,

but I don't have the money.

I was paid in advance.

He paid in advance?

What is this? Why isn't it here?

I was sure I put it here!

My goodness.

I was a fool to trust a ghost.

One second! Mr. Seo.

The air conditioner. I hid
it inside the air conditioner.

In case she threw out my phone,
I took it out and put it in here.

She really found it!

We got it.

The gold bar.

(Korea Gold Standard)

You don't have to worry about a thing.

And the contract looks fine too.

I'll make you a beautiful tub.

You found it, didn't you?

Hello?

The compensation has been processed?

Okay.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I'm fine.

What is this?

Why is she okay?

Maybe it's because she's with me.

You're such a romantic guy.

So Yeon.

Are you okay?

This won't do.

Mr. Seo. We should get her inside quickly.

So Yeon, I'll help you inside.

Thank you.

(Deahun Medical Center)

Mr. Seo.

You can do this without me, right?

Okay, see you later.

Why can't I go inside?

(Violent Crimes Team 1)

We're headed to the house of
Kim Jin Sook, who's dead, correct?

Yes. Kim Jin Sook was
the most likely suspect...

based on Kang Ji Hyun's
credit card statements.

But she died on that day, so
she was deemed irrelevant.

You went to the funeral and
checked for yourself, right?

Yes, sir.

Let's go.

- Have a seat. - Thank you.

By the way,

seeing how you're here
for the first time in a while,

did you catch the hit-and-run
driver who k*lled my daughter-in-law?

I'm sorry.

Gosh, that darned jerk.

He ought to be punished for years to come.

Then why are you here?

On the day of Ms. Kim Jin Sook's accident,

we heard that the taxi was
parked near Morso Apartments.

Who drove that taxi home?

After we got home from the funeral,

it was parked in the front yard.

So I thought you brought it home...

after you were done investigating.

- Call the Hit-and-Run team. - Yes, sir.

You said your grandson
took over the taxi, right?

That's right.

My grandson is going
through so much because of it.

He even quit his studies.

Was there anything strange about that taxi?

Anything strange?

My grandson did say something about it.

Hang on a second.

Hey, Young Min.

Hey, Grandma.

On the day of your mom's accident,

what did you say was gone from the taxi?

The dashcam.

Why, Grandma? Did the
police come to the house?

Tell them to get a move on.

What are they doing, not even
catching the culprit until now?

Grandma, I'll call you back in a bit. Bye.

The dashcam.

Because of that, the
detective in charge at the time...

said it would be hard to catch the culprit.

If you don't like coffee,
I'll get you something else.

Sir, the guys in Hit-and-Run
say they don't know about it either.

The dashcam disappeared...

The guy who took the missing dashcam...

He's got to be the culprit.

Let's look into the security cameras.

Seoul 20B 8255.

Let's start over from there.

Let's shift our focus to
the movements of the taxi.

The taxi that belonged
to the late Kim Jin Sook?

We must have missed something
from the security cameras...

near Kang Ji Hyun's house
on the day of the incident.

Let's check them again.

- Hurry up and request the data.
- Yes, sir.

(Security footage screenshots,

(Finance)

Your compensation for
the workplace accident...

has been set at 300,000 dollars.

It has...

finally been processed.

Oh, gosh. Byung Chul.

Byung Chul! Your mom is here!

Oh, gosh. Byung Chul.

Honey!

- I'm here... - Honey.

Goodness, Byung Chul!

Goodness, my Byung Chul.

Goodness, my baby. Byung Chul.

What do I do? Byung Chul...

Wait. I thought you were an orphan.

I don't have a mom.

She abandoned me as a
kid. I don't even remember her.

Excuse me, but could I see
your ID or some documentation?

Well, we heard that Byung
Chul didn't have any parents.

- Yes, here you go. - Thank you.

(Resident ID Card, Kim Hyun Mi)

Goodness.

How could this be?

(Children: Kim Byung Chul, deceased)

How could this happen to my Byung Chul?

This is all my fault!

It's because I abandoned that little boy.

Gosh, Byung Chul! My dear Byung Chul.

Gosh, my poor baby.

Why did you come now?

You abandoned him when he was young.

No. I didn't.

I didn't abandon him.

I was in prison back then.

In prison?

I went to the countryside
to catch the guys...

who stole Byung Chul's money, and I...

(Deposit and withdrawal
account, My love for Byung Chul)

What is this?

This is my love.

A mother who abandoned her son...

doesn't have anything she wants to eat...

or do for herself.

I felt so guilty.

I felt so guilty that
whenever I felt that way,

I put all my money in this account.

That's...

(Kim Hyun Mi, Joosung Bank)

I gave that to my mom when I was little.

Is that really you, Mom?

I was going to give
you as much as I could...

when you two got married and had a baby.

How could he die in vain like this?

Gosh, Byung Chul! My baby.

My poor baby. What am I supposed to do?

My poor Byung Chul.
What am I supposed to do?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Byung Chul.

So that's how it is?

Gosh, this is so frustrating.

Why can't I get away from this taxi?

This is fascinating, though.

Oh, Mr. Seo!

What happened?

(Deahun Medical Center)

Who's that?

I got the news too late, so I
came straight to the hospital.

I haven't even been to
Byung Chul's charnel house.

Won't you go with me?

Let's go together.

Yes.

Mr. Seo. Say that you'll drive them.

So Yeon, I'll take you.

His biological mother? My goodness.

Wait. So she didn't abandon him?

I didn't know she had such a sad story...

(Deposit and withdrawal
account, My love for Byung Chul)

It would've been nice if she came...

while Byung Chul was alive.

I never saw Byung
Chul eat kiwis in his life.

What are you saying?

Byung Chul used to love kiwis.

I'm allergic to kiwis.

Gosh.

I feel so bad for you.

If it's only been a month
since you got married,

you must have registered your
marriage not long ago as well.

We still...

haven't registered our marriage.

Why not?

Because of the apartment subscription.

We wanted to extend the benefit period...

for newlyweds.

You haven't even
registered your marriage yet.

You're still young. You
should get a fresh start.

I don't know right now.

I feel like Byung Chul will
still come home in the evening.

I miss him so much. It's hard to bear.

I got rid of all of his clothes...

and his belongings.

Yes, Mr. Kim.

What?

Byung Chul's mom will
get all of the compensation?

What does that mean, So Yeon?

She called the hospital.

She told them that we
hadn't registered our marriage.

Private insurance, workplace
accident compensation,

and company compensation must
be given to the legal next of kin.

But the money that the
government gives out...

recognizes common-law marriage as well.

Wait. What was that?

Why do I know that?

Did you call the hospital?

So why didn't you register
your marriage sooner?

What?

I'm having some financial trouble.

It feels like Byung Chul
gave me one last present.

Don't worry.

Once everything is sorted out,
I'll give you plenty of money too.

Honey, let's go.

If she was going to do this,
she shouldn't have shown up!

Gosh, you were so immersed in your role.

Was that prison story true?

Hyun Mi and I were cellmates.

I heard that sob story for
years until I was sick of it.

By the way, you know how
much this project is worth.

How dare you blabber on like that?

If this is ruined, you and I are finished.

Keep that in mind.

We're here, So Yeon.

Thank you.

Get home safely.

Thanks.

How could this be?

The woman he loved for
ten years doesn't get a penny,

but the mom who abandoned
her own son takes all the money.

Gosh, does this make any sense?

(Please contact the number below.)

What's that?

(Looking for witnesses)

By the way,

do you think that woman
is really his birth mother?

Are you saying she's a fake?

Why?

She even brought a bankbook with
money she saved since he was young.

I also have kiwi allergies.

When I was in pain because of
it, my mom used to worry so much.

Parents never forget
their child being sick...

or stuff they can't eat.

They just can't forget it.

Also,

someone who lost a family member
doesn't like that compensation.

It feels like you're being
paid for your loved one's life.

I'm having some financial trouble.

It feels like Byung Chul
gave me one last present.

You just can't say something like that.

And think about it. That bankbook.

If you give 30,000 dollars
and get 300,000, it's a big gain.

You're right.

By the way, you must've
been really close to your mom.

What?

That's how you were
able to catch those things.

I didn't see your mom around.

She passed away.

In a motorcycle hit-and-run accident.

That was why you put up that banner.

It's already been three months,

but the police haven't
even specified a suspect yet.

I'm sure you'll find the culprit.

I will.

Then, what do you
say that we investigate...

this case?

We can comfort their victimized souls.

So Ri, can you get me an
address from the hospital?

A fake mom is pretending
to be the real mom.

And if the real mom wasn't in on it,

that means...

she's risk number one.

She has to cover up her crimes.

However, all crimes...

leave traces.

But how do I know this?

I know, right?

That was a book about crime investigation.

Maybe I loved investigating books.

Right.

I think I did.

This is interesting.

I don't think anyone's here.

(Kim Byung Chul, born on August 21, 1986)

Give me a moment.

It looks like it's been robbed.

It does.

Mr. Seo, pick that up.

Could she be...

Byung Chul's real mother?

I can't really picture her face.

But...

that scar.

(Clear Sky Orphanage)

My mom had a scar on her hand.

Ma'am.

This may offend you,

but I can't help but be
suspicious of Byung Chul's mother.

What do you mean?

What kind of mother brings
food that her child can't eat?

Byung Chul was allergic to kiwi.

Also,

I remember what I heard
while drinking with him.

He said, on their way to the orphanage,

he remembered seeing a
scar on his mother's hand.

Did she?

But her hands...

They were covered in
gloves, so you couldn't check.

If...

If she isn't his real mother,

Byung Chul won't want
you to give up so easily.

He's right, So Yeon.

Even his real mother
doesn't deserve that money...

for abandoning him.

But a fake mother?

That's not fair.

If that's true,

I'm glad that he's not here.

I can't imagine how upset
he'll be if he goes through this.

So Yeon.

Let's find out what we can do...

for Byung Chul.

You said that you knew the
head of the hospital finance team.

Yes.

There's a way...

we can confirm her scar and identity.

How?

(Deahun Medical Center)

(Medical Examination Assistance)

What brings all of you here?

(Finance)

This is so sudden.

All we need is a signature. Who
asks for a thumbprint nowadays?

I apologize, ma'am.

It's just that it's very urgent.
I need your thumbprint.

(Victim: Kim Byung Chul)

(Recipient: Kim Hyun Mi, Mother)

(Signature)

She has a scar.

But it's on her left hand.

She held my hand with her right hand.

The documents will be ready
to go with your thumbprint.

What's the matter with you?

You always sign with your right thumbprint.

Am I right?

Yes. Please use your right thumb.

All right.

Ma'am.

What do we do?

There's no fingerprint.

I've worked so hard all my life...

that I lost my fingerprints.

My pathetic life.

We can't confirm it this way.

What is this situation?

Is it me, or is this odd?

Don't tell me that you put him up to this.

Did you want to get...

my fingerprint and compare it to my ID?

No, that's...

Is this because of the money?

Is that why you're doing this?

How are you related to her?

You're always together.

You've already found a new man...

shortly after your husband died?

What are you saying?

What do you think I'm saying?

You two are working together to frame me!

Yes.

I'm a little suspicious.

I'd like to check,

at least.

Well, why don't you...

request a DNA test?

Oh, you already cremated
him and cleared out his stuff.

So, you don't have any
of his DNA left, do you?

Ma'am, while you were unconscious,

your blood test came
out positive for pregnancy.

Excuse me?

You're pregnant.

It's been three months. Didn't you know?

Be sure to rest,

and consult with a
gynecologist before you leave.

But I was subfertile.

They told me that I wouldn't
be able to have children.

Just like misfortune
comes without a warning,

a miracle can also happen
when you least expect it.

If I'm pregnant, won't I be able to get...

a paternity test with
the genes of the fetus?

No.

As the Bioethics Law
stands, tests on fetuses are...

prohibited in Korea.

You'd have to request an overseas lab,

but that could be risky for the fetus.

This affects your child, so...

Then I won't do it.

Hey!

How are you two related?

Pregnant?

You're telling me that
it's Byung Chul's child?

What are you two up to?

It's not Byung Chul's child, is it?

- Where do you think you're going?
- Do not take one more step.

I know that you're fake.

I'm going to reveal the truth.

What is this nonsense?

I'm Kim Hyun Mi.

I'm Byung Chul's mother!

I don't need the compensation.

I don't want anything
to do with her either.

I can't put my child at risk.

Is this the end?

The fact that she has
scars on both hands...

proves that she's fake.

A trickster is capable of anything.

Is there really nothing we can do?

In two days, that fraud
will take all the money.

We just have to...

keep doing our job.

- Sorry? - Byung Chul asked us...

to renovate the bathtub.

At least there's something
we can do for him.

I'm glad that I have you.

Why?

Who would ever listen
to our stories and help us?

You say that you do it for money,

but I'm still thankful.

By the way,

why are you in my room right now?

I had no idea.

I think we're close enough.

It's not like we're online friends.

We open the door to our houses and rooms.

Open what?

Get out of here.

Okay.

Come in.

One will install the tub,
and the other will remove it.

We'll be precise and quick,

so you can count on us.

I've been in the interior design industry.

Who knew that those
licenses could be of use?

Stop talking. Get in there.

- Hello. - Hi.

Where should I take it?

- That way. - Okay.

Give it to me.

- You don't have to do this. - I must.

I'm merely keeping my promise.

Would you like coffee?

I'll get it myself.

It's going to be loud,
so you can wait outside.

Coming through.

I'll help.

Man, it's heavy.

Byung Chul.

Aren't you sad that
things turned out this way?

If So Yeon had gotten that money,

she could have moved to a better house.

But I have all of you here helping her.

I'm more than grateful.

(S-Biogene)

Did you apply for this?

What is it?

Have you applied for this at the hospital?

Mr. Seo.

Mr. Seo! Come and check this out.

Baby, you did great.

Let's get out of here
once we get this money.

Am I...

getting a new gold bracelet?

You bet! That's a drop in the bucket...

compared to the money we're going to get.

All right.

You can...

put your signature here.

(Compensation Reception Form)

(Deahun Medical Center)

Before you sign it, take a look at this.

What is it?

Are you here to take my money?

We'll talk after you have a look.

(DNA Test Result)

(S-Biogene, DNA Test Result)

Your paternity test shows that...

you are not the biological mother
of the late Kim Byung Chul...

as 98.23 percent does not match.

Hence, you are not
entitled to this compensation.

This compensation will go
to his wife, Park So Yeon,

after the appropriate tests
once she gives birth to her child.

How did you get them
tested with none of his genes?

He had applied for a
DNA card before his death.

- So we used that. - What?

Then, where did you get my DNA?

Guess what?

The hair that you pulled out at the time.

Do you still call yourself human?

How did you even know him?

Where is Byung Chul's real mother?

You know where she is, don't you?

How dare you accuse me of fraud?

I'm going to call the police on you.

I ought to put you in jail for fraud.

You won't be able to get out of this.

Fine. Call the police.

Report me to the police and go all the way!

You want to blackmail
me with a piece of paper?

Go ahead and do it!

Honey, let's go.

Call the police!

You people...

Wait. Where are they going?

Stop!

Go away!

Are you all right, ma'am?

(Deahun Medical Center)

I called the police on them.

They want me at the station
tomorrow to report the case.

That's good.

I'll bring the car around.
Please wait here.

Okay.

(Deahun Medical Center)

This is great news.

This must have been why
Byung Chul stayed in this world.

I hope to find my reason one day.

I mean, the reason that
I'm still here after death.

And we must have met...

for a reason, don't you think?

Weren't we like the best
partners in the world today?

This type of moment
deserves a smacking high-five.

Nothing works out in my life.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Why...

Why do you have...

my deceased mother's hairband?

(Delivery Man)

You said this taxi belonged
to your mother, right?

And I have your mother's hairband.

I'm never getting away from this taxi.

A taxi and a ghost. A haunted taxi.

I can solve your problem.

You need her gone to have passengers,

stop seeing ghosts, and make money!

Mr. Seo, I'm not feeling well.

Hello?

Gangneung?

Chuncheon?

Why should I care?

I was fed up with that ghost anyway.

Good riddance.
