01x10 - The Red Gate

LINK

I came back because…

for some reason…

I had this strange feeling.

This isn't why I returned…

I'm sorry.

For what?

-What?
-What?

I mean…

What's there to be sorry about?
You did well.

-What?
-What?

I mean… The kiss was nice.

It was indeed nice. Well done.

What's wrong? You know everything too.

When did I first come

into your life?

At times,
a memory hits you out of nowhere.

Just like right now.

We met

right in this alley a very long time ago.

Right here in this neighborhood.
Don't you remember?

Dahyun, hurry up.

Lee Jingeun?

Dahyun, hurry up.

Wait for me!

The moment I saw Jingeun and me as kids,

a memory hit me.

In my dream…

I wasn't alone.

What is this?

Why now?

In what may have been
the happiest moment of my life,

the scariest memory resurfaced.

Hello?

What's going on? Are you okay?

-What?
-Is everything okay?

Of course. Why wouldn't it be?

That's good.

Thanks.

But we just parted ways.
Isn't it too soon to call?

Well… That's not why I called.

Then?

Never mind.

It's fine as long as you're okay.

-Good night.
-Wait.

Can we talk until I get--

Can we talk until I fall asleep?

Sure.

You can talk.

Can you talk instead?

What…

should I say?

Anything.

Well…

I'm not the type who calls
without anything to say.

I don't think I've ever tried.

Then just keep the phone
next to your ear. Can you do that?

Sure. I can do that.

Are you still not sleepy?

I'm almost sleepy.

Thanks to you, I'm not scared anymore.

Are you in your room right now?

Yes. Why?

I think we can hang up now.

Good night.

Good night.

THE RED GATE

Was it a lost memory or just a nightmare?

Lee Jingeun and I were there together.

Hi, I'm Eun Gyeyoung.

GYEYOUNG

Maybe I knew Gyeyoung from the start.

What's wrong? You know everything too.

What is it that I know?

He could've been provoking me.

GYEYOUNG, RED GATE

Or…

Could there be a link
between Gyeyoung's case and me?

Forget it.

There's no solid proof
to back that up as of yet.

They said thinking too much
was harmful to your body.

Think about only the things
you know for certain, Dahyun.

The good things.

The good things.

I thought about it all night long.

EPISODE 10

Has he really been single all his life?

How is he so good?

-At what?
-Kissing.

-Who?
-Not just me, but him--

-What?
-What?

Who's the guy? Who's that good kisser?

It was in my dream.

Dream, my foot!

When you're desperate for something,
you dream about it.

Has that never happened to you before?

Don't try to shift focus on me.

-Answer me.
-Why won't you believe me?

-Would you if you were in my shoes?
-I would not--

Thank you for the meal.

Is it that chef?

That c*ck guy? Over my dead body.

It's not him.

I better not catch you two!

Darn it. Why is this soup so salty?

You made it.

But why not?

So it is him.

No, it's not.

I just don't get it.

Why are you so against that?
What's your reason?

I told you. He's c*ck.

-That's it?
-Yes.

What was that? What's wrong with her?

It's time to go to work.

Why is everything so rusty?

Expired in 2019?

I should give this to Mom.

One's hairstyle can make or break a look.

Sweatpants are a no-go.

Isn't this Mom's?

Pants. Skirt? Pants.

I would've had nothing to wear
if Eunjung didn't get me this.

You look so pretty. How soft.

Let's go!

LEE JINGEUN

You're here.

Hello…

Hey--

Is your hand okay?

That was nothing.

I think…

We're really going to open
this time, right?

Yes, as long as
no one's wielding a knife again.

Don't say that.
I could really have a heart attack.

We won't be marketing on social media.

I don't want to grovel and give free food

to those so-called celebrities
just to promote our restaurant to say…

He has chosen to run away.

"That place is nice."

If not, who'll come all the way here?

All that we have here
is a hair salon, a hardware store,

a tacky restaurant with bad food--

I'm sorry.

Even those who enjoy
the retro vibe wouldn't come here.

How about we change the style…

He must have no courage

to become happy.

Then they'll come out of curiosity.

Where's my phone?

I'll call you.

Okay.

And to him, I'm…

Stew Place?

You look like a grandpa.

Are you finally back to work?

You looked so out of it.

Your mind was miles away.

I'm glad you're back.

You shouldn't abuse your paid vacation.

Then you should hurry up and open--

You couldn't because of me.

By the way,

have you heard
about Lee Jingeun's whereabouts?

Seeing how the police
are still looking for him,

he must be in hiding once again.

There are only two possibilities.

Either he's hiding,
or something happened to him.

I'm with someone right now.

I coincidently ran into this person
after such a long time.

This person has a question for you.

Eun Gyehoon,

how is your father?

What do you mean?

What could've happened to him?

I'm just saying we need to find him soon.

Hey, Chef Lee.

What is this dog doing here?

-Are you guys raising him here?
-Yes.

It just barged in here like someone.

Does it have a name?

Not yet. How about Sta?

-Sta? How adorable.
-And its surname, Pa.

In Korean, it's Pa Sta.

In English, that's Sta Pa.

Sta Pa. Pa Sta.

I like that, but any other names?

Gaehoon.

Not "gye", but "gae".

"Gae". Gaehoon.

Why are you so mad?

Mad? Who me?

Gaehoon?

She wanted to hear suggestions,
so I gave her one.

Don't just stand there. Talk.
I already know everything.

What do you mean?

You rejected me once again.

Option one.
I'll brush it off and let you go.

Option two. I'll curse you
for being a coward after kissing me.

What's your pick?

There's also option three.
I'll spray you with this.

Wait.

It's definitely not option three.

I should've just hit you first
and rejected you.

What can you do?

You don't dare to be happy
because you feel bad for your family.

So just be a coward and run away.

So you know that I'm a coward.

I've known that for a while now.

As you know,

I came here to find my dad.

"What in the world happened to him

and my sister?"

Finding out the answer

was going to be my top priority.

And I had no intention
of becoming close to anyone.

However, something unpredictable happened.

You came into my life.

You'll still see the coward in me

from time to time.

I'll probably think
about my family and feel guilty

whenever I eat something tasty
or go somewhere nice.

But…

I'll try my best

not to feel that way
or make it so obvious.

If you're okay with that…

Then I'll continue

to make delicious food

for you.

You call that a love confession?

You kept frowning
and avoiding eye contact,

so I thought
you were pushing me away again.

That was because Jinhoo was there.

I was embarrassed.

Plus…

Plus?

You're quite…

beaming today.

You do have good taste.

I accidentally cut off a leaf.

It's okay.

It's for you.

Have you smelled lavender before?

Once spring came into my life…

Should I cut that too?

It was spring in the world as well.

That's hot.

Let me tag along and work out with you.

What if that fridge guy comes back?

He's in hiding right now.

Hiding?

Yes. It's a long story.

And you know what?

I'm going to dig into it.

Dig into what?

My nightmare.

Letting my imagination run wild

makes me want to run away
in fear even more.

I'm done with that.

I'm going to take the bull by the horns
and see if it's real or not.

-Go on.
-Okay. I'll be back later.

-All right.
-Bye!

It looks similar.

It's not this one.
It's the wrong color too.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

Goodbye.

I heard

you were the last person
to see Gyeyoung alive.

I was waiting for you to recognize me.

-We met when you were a kid.
-I know.

I guess you didn't come here for the fish.

Not the only reason, I guess.

If it's all right with you,
could you tell me what happened?

-Well--
-I'm busy today.

Do I need to wait for long?

I wouldn't let a valuable customer wait.

I'll stop by your restaurant later.

-Okay.
-Goodbye.

What would you like?

-I'd like a flatfish.
-Sure.

LEE JINGEUN

The call can't be connected.
Transferring to voicemail…

Grocery shopping?

Yes. Were you exercising?

-Yes.
-I see.

You're smiling from ear to ear.

That can't be.

You're the one
with a big smile on your face.

Really?

Let's go.

It's finally spring.

You're right. It is.

The weather is lovely.

You're right.

It's lovely.

Dahyun, can you hand me the sugar?

-Dahyun, can you put this in the oven?
-Sure.

I'll upload them
to our restaurant's social media.

Stop taking photos and have a bite.

Okay.

Is it just me, or do we keep adding
sweet desserts to the menu?

I think it's just you.

Are you guys seeing each other?

-Yes.
-No.

Then are you official?

-Yes.
-No.

Aren't you guys leaving?

Why is no one leaving?

Jeez. Are you waiting for me?

Let's go.

Gyehoon, want to grab a drink?

Then we should hurry.

The bars close early these days.

Follow me.

Where?

We need to go.

-Where?
-Anywhere.

-But I live here.
-Just follow me.

How could you say that we're official?

What? You were the first one
to admit that we were seeing each other,

so I thought we could.

I was only trying to cover up
a bigger lie with a small one.

Seeing each other and being official
are totally different.

Everything you say is a lie--

Let's just tell everyone--

No. Never.

It'd be a headache if my mom finds out.
You know that, right?

Thanks.

-Have some coffee.
-Thanks.

It's been a while
since I got a part-time translating gig.

Then I won't bother you.

This is a raspberry tart.

And this is
a lemon madeleine with icing on top.

And this one is custard cream.

I like it.

How does it taste?

Are you eating well on time?

I'm going to stop by and check
if you've been having my side dishes.

What about your medication?
Make sure you take them on time too.

Why would you be sorry, Mom?

I'm the one who should apologize.

Why are you crying again? Please don't.

What's with that deep sigh? What's wrong?

It's about Eun Gyehoon.

I'm not comfortable about how
he and Dahyun are close.

What if…

Never mind.

Everything will go the way it should.
There's nothing we can do.

Then what's wrong with you?

You were dancing halfheartedly back there.

Mom.

What?

Be honest with me.

You're concerned too, aren't you?

What are you doing?

You startled me.

-What's that?
-It's nothing.

Are you coming back from aerobics?

Yes.

Jeez. I told you
not to carry around tools.

Oh, this? This isn't a tool.

What's this for?

I finally found out

the reason why you two
were carrying around those tools.

So a guy was stalking Dahyun?

Had I known sooner,
I wouldn't have scolded you so much.

I would've taken measures as well.

Took you long enough.

How would I have known
when you didn't report it to us?

It's so good.

It's so fresh.

-Eat up, Mom.
-Okay.

Is this a token of your apology?

Thank you.

What is this?

I understand your situation,

but it's still ill*gal
to carry around those tools.

Put them around your necks.

What do I do with this?

Blow it whenever
you feel you're in danger.

I'll run over to you whenever
and wherever you are.

So you'll come if we blow this whistle?

Really?

Come here. Right now.

-Get ready.
-Thanks for the laugh.

I'm serious here, you know?

Thanks. I mean it.

Thank you more for the sushi.

Our food costs shouldn't exceed 20%.

You've been consistently exceeding
your initial budget.

Even if you have sufficient funds--

LEE JINGEUN

One minute.

What is this? Is this really your phone?

There's no lock on the phone
or any saved numbers.

What's that phone for?

-Don't you have any friends?
-Where did you find this?

In a corner of some alley.

Here. Sign this, and you can go.

-Which alley?
-Does that matter?

It does.

It was near the cart bar. Happy?

-What are you doing?
-It's not mine.

Hey--

We need to talk.

-No, thank you.
-It's important.

Officer Ji.

Han Se--

I'll come by later. Okay?

What happened? Did you find it?

It was a lost phone.

Lost?

The phone was reset
to factory settings and discarded.

That means…

He didn't lose it. He threw it out.

It'll be even more difficult
to locate him.

Gosh, how pretty.

I dragged you here
so you could get some fresh air.

-Me?
-Yes.

You've been looking troubled all day.

Have I?

What's wrong?

Well, you see…

There's something that only I can do.

However,

I don't think I should.

I don't know what to do,
so I'm in a dilemma.

What is it?

You don't need to tell me
if you don't want to.

Let's talk on the way.

That was Lee Jingeun's phone.

And he's nowhere to be found.

So?

We need to check all CCTVs and dashcams
around the area where the phone was found.

-What?
-He met someone afterward

and disappeared on the night we all met.

I think…
No, I'm sure that person is the culprit.

So…

So you want me to catch that individual?

First of all, it's ill*gal
to check the CCTV without a warrant.

But sure, I could still check them
if I really wanted to. But…

I don't want to.

I don't care
about what happened in the past.

And I most definitely
don't want to get involved with you again.

When will you stop running away?

-What?
-How long will you remain a coward?

-You know nothing.
-Then what do you know?

Just come with me
and find out for yourself

about what happened

to Mr. Han Euichan, your dad,

eighteen years ago.

Perhaps…

Call me.

…I could find Jingeun.

DO YOU REMEMBER?

YOU TOLD ME TO REACH OUT TO YOU,
SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING. CALL ME

NEW POST

No.

DELETE

I'm here to meet Chef Eun Gyehoon.

He's away at the moment.

I have a favor.

Could you relay this message to him?

I don't think
I can bear telling him this in person.

I may have made a huge mistake.

Eun Gyehoon, who do you think you are
telling me to come and go…

What?

Why is he here?

I have some questions
about Mr. Han Euichan's case.

I was wondering why you called.

I fully understand

why you think
he's the culprit and resent him.

No, it's actually the opposite.

I don't think it was him.

What?

First and foremost,
I don't think he did it either.

Why?

Why do you think that way?

I have one question.

What is he doing here?

I'd appreciate it
if you could just answer.

Eighteen years ago,

we believed the culprit
must've known your sister.

So we interrogated everyone who knew her.

And Mr. Han was one of them.

He was her piano teacher after all.

Then we received two crucial statements.

One statement

was from a boy who saw
his dad washing bloody clothes.

The other statement

was from an individual
who last saw Gyeyoung.

I was

the last person

to see Gyeyoung alive.

I told the police that I saw her
going into Mr. Han's car.

But to be frank, I wasn't sure

whether she did step into his car

or not.

Then why did you say that?

That was because…

You need to be exact.

Your words could either
put him behind bars or acquit him.

Did Gyeyoung
get into Euichan's car or not?

Answer me!

And that's how
he became the prime suspect.

So we arrested him.

He denied the charges.
He claimed he never put her in his car

or took her with him.

And like he said,

we couldn't find her DNA in his car.

The only other lead we had
was the bloody clothing.

But he had thrown it away.

We were never able to find it.

So we asked him about that blood.

"Whose blood was it?

Why did you throw it away?"

But he remained tight-lipped.

Then later on,

we found out what he was up to that day.

His piano academy wasn't doing too well.

JAWS ROOM CLUB

-Hello, I'll be serving you today.
-Hey.

-Let's hear some music.
-Go on and sing a song.

He refused to tell us
due to his reputation as a teacher.

He was embarrassed
about working at a karaoke bar.

He was humiliated.

But how could he choose that
over being acquitted?

Then what about

the bloody clothing that he had?

It's obvious.
He had fought with a customer.

But he couldn't prove it
because too much time had passed.

No one could testify for him.

You found nothing in his car,

and his alibi checked out.

Then why is he still being treated
as if he's guilty?

People's impressions of others

don't change that easily.

Who'd be understanding of a man
who had once been arrested

as a m*rder suspect?

He should've been vindicated.

If you were a true police officer,

you should've told everyone
that he was innocent

and that the police had made a mistake.

I tried.

I tried to get him back on his feet.

Darn it!

I'm telling you!
Han Euichan is the k*ller!

We had to let go of that cunning scumbag

because he had gotten rid of all evidence.

But just wait and see.

I'll catch him at all costs!

That's how rumors are.

The more widespread it is,
the stronger their impression

of him becomes.

Hey, what's your deal today?

What's with him?

That's Han Sejin.

Mr. Han's son.

What? Officer Ji?

Let's go, Sejin.

Ji Wontak!

Let me go. Let go!

What will you do?

What are you trying to do?

I'm going to k*ll Chief Seo myself.

What? Can't I?

Hey.

You know that's ridiculous, right?

Do you know

what kind of life I've had?

Do you know how I've been treating him?

Do you know…

how miserable his life has been?

Do you?

I won't let this slide.

Step aside.

-I can't.
-Move.

Don't do anything you'll regret, okay?

Regret?

Regret…

What do you know? Tell me.

What makes you think you can say that?

-What do you know?
-I know one thing for sure!

You still have a chance.

What?

You can still apologize.

You can still say that you're sorry
and ask for your dad's forgiveness.

You can do that.

As for me…

I really want to do that as well.

But I can't. It's too late.

But you still have time.

Do you volunteer
to do duty often these days?

Yes, I'm lonely, have a lot of free time,
and want more money.

Should I go on?

No, ma'am. That's enough.

Why doesn't anyone
want to hang out with me?

I'm busy.

-Let's park here tonight.
-Yes, ma'am.

Look at that.
Who'd throw away such an expensive piano?

No one would take that.

-The owner had to pay to dispose of it.
-Right.

Let me stop by the restroom.

-Enjoy your time.
-Thank you.

THE PIANO ON THE LAKE

What was that last melody?

I guess it's just

a memory.

Ji Wontak?

Speak of the devil. I was just thinking--

No, I wasn't thinking of you.

I was contemplating music and art.

Wontak.

Is everything okay?

I'm glad you're here.

I actually wanted to see you.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Let's stay like this for a while.

He's still not home.

I'm here.

What?

Why are you sitting here?

Did something happen?

Yes. Something did.

Is it about--

It's not about Lee Jingeun.

Then who?

My heart breaks

for a childhood friend of mine.

By the way,

you dropped the honorifics.

Do you dislike it?

No.

I was going to do it gradually.

But I couldn't.

Let's just drop it right now.

Let's use honorifics at work

and drop them once we clock out.
What do you say?

Okay.

I like that.

I like that you like it.

What could've happened? I'm worried.

I'm worried but…

He dropped the honorifics.

How is he so good at dating
when I'm his first girlfriend?

What if I'm not?

Thinking about it kept me up all night.

Having butterflies isn't always good.

How exhausting.

-Did something else happen in your dreams?
-What?

Nope.

Why are you smiling like that?
Are you a pervert?

Mom, I'm not perverted. I'm unpredictable.

Unpredictable? What is she spewing?

She's unpredictably perverted
just like you.

Jogging again?

Of course. I need to get
to the bottom of this.

-Bye.
-Be careful.

I haven't seen a single red gate yet.

Could it just have been a nightmare?

I'm busy doing a translating gig.

I'll finish up and go home safely,
so don't worry.

CHEF EUN GYEHOON

Lee Jingeun.

I'm going to scream.

Do it, and you'll regret it.

Let's get rid of those.

People will come.

Of course, they will.
This won't take long.

First of all, you're the one
who reported me, wasn't it?

What?

I decided to finally go home,
and I saw cops there.

It was you, right?

I would've reported you sooner
if I was going to. Why now?

It has to be you.

Because you're the only one
who's still alive.

Forget about that.

I'll cut to the chase.
Why did you want to see me?

I'm excited to find out why.

You saw that?

Of course. It was you of all people.

What happened that night?

You disappeared
right after speaking with Gyehoon.

Why did you have
to get rid of your phone and run away?

Who did you meet that night?

Was all this because of Gyehoon?

Did you reach out to me

to tell Gyehoon
about the person I met that day?

Tell me who it was.

You know what?

You and Eun Gyehoon can never be together.

There's a reason for that.

You'll find out soon enough.

Lee Jingeun.

Eighteen years ago,

did we go to a certain house together?

No, right?

Do you finally remember?

The red gate.

Dahyun, hurry up.

This is getting interesting.
See you around.

We'll be able to easily locate him
with the CCTV footage,

so don't worry. We will catch him.

Are you hurt?

No.

Why did you drop the honorifics?

We were schoolmates.

Here comes another one.

I had no idea
Lee Jingeun was still after you.

I thought he had disappeared,
so I let my guard down.

It's all my fault.

-From now on--
-No. Don't apologize.

I'm at fault.

To be honest,

I had left him a message
on my social media.

While debating whether to post it or not,
I accidentally posted it.

I panicked and deleted it right away.

But I think he saw it.

You reached out

to him?

I'm sorry.

Because of me, right?

You knew I was looking for him,

so you wanted to help. Right?

That's not why.

It's okay.

It's my fault. I was being careless.

That's really not why.

Then why would you reach out to him?

I had my reason.

It was because…

I know your sister.

What?

I think I know her.

What do you mean?

Lee Jingeun once said

that he was the last one
to see Gyeyoung alive.

Perhaps

I also saw.

Saw what?

Your sister alive for the last time.

I might have witnessed it as well.

LINK

Something so horrendous occurred
in this small neighborhood.

So how's it possible that I don't remember
a single thing? Isn't it strange?

I don't want to look for my sister
if it means you'll be in danger.

I'll k*ll them all.

Only the first time was hard.
I can do it again.

I'm certain something happened to me.

After I met you and Lee Jingeun showed up,

I'm regaining my memory bit by bit.

I already know that Dahyun
was a possible witness as well.

What? Dahyun wasn't a witness.

I'm asking you what happened!
