[This drama is purely a work of fiction.]

[All scenes with child actors
and animals were filmed safely.]

[The day of the incident:
March 30th, 10:10pm]

Think...

Hold on.

How do I...

Just a second.

No.

No, you idiot. Think.

How... What am I supposed to do?

Think of something.

How should I...

How...

Hold on. What should I...

[Incoming call: Do]

[Missed call]

[Draw unlock pattern]

[Wrong pattern]

Is this a dream?

This must be a nightmare.

This is nuts.

I'm screwed!

Darn it.

What the heck?

Where did it go?

What is that?

Jeez.

- Hello?
- Hey, brother.

How have you been? It's me.

I told you not to call.

And what's with this number?

It's an untraceable burner
phone, so don't worry.

So the thing is,

I lost my phone.

So what?

You know how much
important stuff is stored on there.

I need to find it as soon as possible.

I need to track down
a hit-and-run car first.

Can you run a search for me?

Why do you keep doing this, seriously?

Come on, man. Do me this one favour.

What's the plate number?

I don't know.

But the car was damaged, so it
probably went to a repair shop.

Can you pull the repair records?

How am I supposed to
access that? It's ill*gal.

Look.

If that phone gets out,

it won't be good for you either, right?

Darn, are you blackmailing me now?

I am.

Help me out a little.

[The Affair Was Just The Beginning]

[Episode 5: Strictly Business]

Gosh, why won't he...

Min Seo, what are you
still doing down here?

Go upstairs.

Now.

Goodness.

Min Seo?

Min Seo.

Call Ye Ji and see if her parents are home.

Right now.

Tell me. What's wrong?

Did something happen?

They aren't back yet.

Why do you ask...

Nothing. Go on inside now.

Honey!

Are you okay? Jeez.

Dr. Ahn, are you all right?

I didn't know you were standing there.

I guess we miss what's
right under our nose.

What is wrong with her?

- Look.
- Goodness.

Jae Hong.

Can you tell me what you
did with the borrowed money?

Son of a g*n.

- What?
- I'm just worried about you.

Maybe I can help.

You said you wouldn't
hide anything from me.

Hide what? I'm not
hiding anything. I swear.

Dr. Ahn, goodbye.

Do you guys...

have something private to discuss?

- Not at all.
- It's about the clinic promotion.

- Let's talk tomorrow.
- It'll only take a second.

Then, come inside. Let's talk together.

No, just a moment out here is fine...

What...

What would we talk about, honey?

It can wait until later.

[Does the front-seat passenger
get charged in car accidents?]

[Incoming call]

- Hi, Min Seo.
- Hey, Ye Ji.

We have a big problem.

Your mom...

Your mom tried to run my mom over.

- What?
- I think my mom spilled everything.

You've been having trouble
sleeping lately, haven't you?

I guess Ye Ji isn't home yet.

The house feels so empty.

You have the luxury...

to worry about clinic promos.

Good for you.

Meanwhile, I worked my butt off all day,

trying to scrape together cash.

All because of this video.

Honey, what are you talking about?

What is this?

Kyung Hee hasn't been feeling too well.

It's probably best if you leave...

Was that 100 million won for this?

Excuse me?

Did you say 100 million won?

What? No.

Not 100 million won.

It's 99.

You bragged so much about
putting up 100 million won.

Was it actually that woman's money?

What? Me?

Oh, right.

Didn't I mention...

that I borrowed it from Dr. Ahn?

Silly me.

And it's not 100 million, honey.

It's 99.

This is for the better.

The total's 500 million won.

Let's split it 50-50, so
you should pay 150...

Actually, 151 million...

more.

- What are you talking about?
- Why should I...

Why?

Because both the faces
were caught right on camera!

[There's a video with
our faces recorded on it.]

"Both"?

"Right on camera"?

Oh, no.

Did the kids' faces get caught on camera?

What...

The kids?

Goodness.

Hold on.

It was dark with no CCTV
cameras in the area, so how...

And that car had heavy tinting, right?

So, how...

How is it even possible
their faces were recorded?

Hold on. I don't get it, honey.

- Does it mean Min Seo was there too?
- Wait!

Wait a second.

Why? I have a right to see it too.

She's right, honey. Let's check it first.

We have a problem!

I think the cops are here for Min Seo.

- The police?
- The cops? Why...

- What?
- The police are here?

Just for Min Seo?

- Is this your doing?
- What...

Why would we call the cops?

Is this Min Seo?

Min Seo, I'm coming right now.

Do not open the door and just wait, okay?

My shoes.

Hey, Ye Ji. Come here.

Ye Ji.

What's all this about Min Seo?

You said you were alone.

Lim Ye Ji.

Tell us.

Did you even drive?

Why would the cops come for Min Seo?

You weren't even driving, were you?

You brat, last night, your mom and I...

Why do you think we went
through all that trouble?

Why in the world did you tell such lies?

Ye Ji.

Did Min Seo make you lie?

Does she have something on you?

Then, tell them the truth.

Tell them you were...

just in the passenger seat.

You came straight home out of shock.

And Min Seo was...

the only one driving.

Understood?

Answer me.

Okay.

I'm asking what the report was about.

Do you have your ID on you?

- Let me verify your identity first.
- Wait.

She is Joo Min Seo's mother.

Where is Min Seo right now?

Why are you looking for
her? Is there a problem?

Well...

Joo Bo Sung...

Her father reported her missing.

Did you not know about this?

Well...

Joo Bo Sung...

Min Seo, are you okay?

- Thank goodness, it was nothing.
- I know.

I was so worried.

It's all right.

- What the?
- You went through a lot.

I thought they were taking you away.

It can't be.

- Dad...
- Don't move, Lim Ye Ji.

[Calling]

Lim Ye Ji.

Was your boyfriend...

Min Seo?

What are you talking about?

Why would Min Seo be Ye Ji's boyfriend?

- Ye Ji?
- Is that why you lied?

Is that it?

Is this why...

you made your parents clean up...

after some other kid's mess?

Is that it?

I'm sorry.

Goodness, gracious.

Ye Ji, do you have any
idea what we did yesterday?

Lim Ye Ji.

Get inside.

We'll talk inside.

Wait.

Well...

About the video you mentioned earlier...

You lied about the kids'
faces being recorded, right?

What do you mean by that? A lie?

You didn't even know
Min Seo was with her...

until just now, did you?

If Min Seo were in the video,

you wouldn't have fallen for Ye Ji's lie.

- That's...
- She has a point.

Then, what's on the video?

Min Seo was never in the
video to begin with, was she?

How amusing, Ms. Ahn.

Why don't we play the video, then?

How did it get filmed?

Was someone else there...

Who could've been there besides us?

Beats me.

I suppose...

my parents have taken care of it.

Oh, there we go.

What the... Why is this...

Baby, you're the best.

Oh, my goodness!

What is this?

Hold on. Wait, this...

Wait. What in the...

What the heck?

Why won't it turn off?

My goodness! Please!

Oh, please...

Honey, it's not what you think.

It's nothing, really.

It's...

It was just sex...

No, it was just curiosity...

I mean, it was just a mistake.

That's right.

It was just a stupid mistake, honey.

Kyung Hee.

I'm sorry.

You know you're the only one I have.

Honey...

"Honey"?

What a joke.

You and I are strictly
business from now on.

- Get off.
- Jeez.

That car's been there for a while.

- Maybe it's abandoned.
- It's probably just parked, idiot.

No, who parks in a place like this?

If it's abandoned, - It's ditched.

- I'll cut off my right hand.
- Fine.

Let's find out. Darn, you're
losing that hand today.

- At least he's a good kid.
- He really is.

- Do it.
- Let's see.

- I'm opening it.
- As if.

- Jeez.
- I'm opening it.

- No way.
- Seriously?

- See? I told you, morons!
- What the?

Hey, look for the key.

- Here it is.
- It's here!

- I told you it was ditched.
- Sweet!

All right, let's see what this car can do!

Step on it!

It's darn fast.

- Great!
- Oh, jeez.

This is sick.

- Isn't this great?
- Darn.

- Wait, guys.
- What is it?

Darn, the cops are on our tail.

Man, it's the cops.

See? I told you this car was sketchy.

It's because you turned this up so loud.

Does that even matter? I said this car...

Knock it off.

Pull the car over first.

- Pull over.
- Fine, I'm pulling over.

- Detective.
- What?

I'm dead serious. The key
was right there in the car.

- The key was inside?
- Yes.

And the headlight was already broken.

The bumper and grille too?

Right, and when we looked at it closely,

the car was badly damaged, and
the colour was, like, poop brown.

So we naturally figured...

it was abandoned, which is why we took it.

- True.
- Right.

- Hold on a second, Detective.
- What?

Maybe the owner caused an
accident and ditched the car...

to avoid getting busted.

Exactly. Why would anyone
ditch such an expensive car?

- I told you it was sketchy.
- It adds up.

- Makes sense. Maybe this guy k*lled someone.
- Hey.

Sit down.

I'm telling you, this guy m*rder*d someone.

We've got to grill them hard.

Boys.

Be quiet.

- Okay?
- Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

So, the headlight was already smashed?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Min Seo.

Are you using protection properly?

I think it's all just curiosity.

A passing phase.

Does she actually love you?

Can you even trust her?

Oh, men are all the same.

Love is...

- pointless.
- How much did she drink?

I'm serious.

Min Seo.

I mean it.

Do you still visit your dad's house?

Min Seo, you can't ever leave me.

You're all I have left now, okay?

I'll do whatever it takes to keep you safe.

No matter what.

Min Seo, I love you.

What is she even saying?

Dad, why are you lying there?

Oh, Ye Ji.

I'll do it, Dad. Just sit down.

No, Ye Ji. I need to do this.

Lim Ye Ji.

Yes, Mother.

Are you sure...

Min Seo feels the same way about you?

Then,

why would she shift the blame onto you?

Answer her.

Even after promising
to love you for life...

and stay by your side until old age,

people can still betray you.

She's right, Ye Ji.
It'd be best if you two...

- broke up as soon as...
- Which is why...

you've got to become
stronger at a time like this.

You went so far as to cover for her.

It'll be too unfair if she betrays you.

Do you get...

what I'm saying?

Right, don't break up.

You've got to stick together
when things get tough.

Let's take this as a chance
for our own family too.

Right, Ye Ji?

So that our family can become stronger,

I'll do my best, honey.

Both my husband and kid...

Are they all under some spell
from the women across the road?

Oh, I'm getting a call.

It's an unknown number.

Let me grab this real quick. One moment.

Cha Eun Bin, speaking.

Oh, yes. I'm Lim Jae Hong.

The police?

Are you really not going to press charges?

No.

I just want to settle this quietly.

- Get inside already. Move.
- We'll talk inside.

Those guys are habitual offenders.
Forgiveness won't change them.

They caused an accident
themselves and lied about it.

You've got to slap people
like that with a huge repair bill.

I mean, even that won't change them.

Well, it seems...

they're still young.

People make mistakes in life.

Shouldn't we give them a second chance?

I guess so.

Hi, honey. I handled it well.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

You didn't get nervous
and slip up, did you?

I was hardly nervous.

I was slightly anxious at first,

but I completely immersed
myself in method acting.

I did my magic, and the
cop bought it right away.

- Did he?
- Yes.

Besides, those th*gs...

had a ton of similar offences.

- Offences?
- Yes.

- So, it's all taken care of?
- Yes.

- Okay, bye.
- What?

Hello, Mr. Sol. Long time no see, sir.

- Jeez.
- Great! I got it.

Why is it so hard to win?

Well, grab a seat somewhere.

Did my brother, Sol, not come by here?

Oh, you're Mr. Do, sir. Hello.

After causing that commotion last time...

Anyway, he hasn't been
anywhere near here since then.

Give me a call if he shows up.

Yes, sir.

What...

What is it?

You don't know my number.

- Oh, right.
- Give me a call, okay?

Yes, sir. Goodbye.

I dug through every branch
nationwide to find this.

Do the legwork yourself for the details.

So, I'm actually...

in urgent need of tracking
down a car from an accident, sir.

Do you mind if I ask...

about the condition of this one?

- This car?
- Yes.

This car...

It's just in the shop...

for some internal repairs.

Any smashed or broken parts...

on the front end?

No, it simply needs...

a fan belt replacement.

Sir, I'm kind of in a rush here.

[Imported Car Repair, Cheongnam Motors]

[Go-to for domestic SUVs]

[Exclusive repair shop for
rich-gold-limited-edition owners]

What the?

Why are they all so far away?

[Busan]

[CN First Motors, Cheongnam Motors]

[Dr. Ahn off for the morning]

- Hello.
- Hello.

Today, Dr. Ahn is...

Dr. Ahn is out today?

All of a sudden?

You should've notified me in advance.

I'm so sorry.

A seminar was scheduled at the last minute.

If it's okay,

would you mind seeing another doctor today?

Forget it. I'll come back another time.

- Goodness.
- Apologies.

Goodbye.

We're in the middle of the investment
review. What were you thinking?

Tell me.

Where exactly did you...

spend 300 million won?

I need to know the details so
we can get our stories straight.

Captain Park.

What's going on?

What happened is...

No, nothing.

I'll put it back in a few days.

I'll fix this so fast they won't
even realise it was gone.

Oh, my.

What do I do?

Seriously...

Are you okay? I'm sorry.

There's no one around, and
they still put a speed bump here.

Oh, goodness.

I'm so messed up.

That's absurd.

If you get caught, that's embezzlement...

Gosh.

Hello, Dr. Joo.

Yes.

Hi, I'm calling because...

today's our first meeting, right?

It seems like the perfect time...

for your team to get a sugar boost.

Yes.

And I've arrived a little early.

Do you mind if I go up?

[No eating in the office]

Of course, Dr. Joo.

Darn it.

I'm here to sort out...

what happened yesterday
as quickly as possible.

Here.

It's the 151 million won.

How dare you show up here?

Ms. Park.

Good grief, I...

I'm truly sorry.

I won't make any excuses.

I don't know what I was thinking.

It really was a mistake,

and I swear I'll never see him again.

For the sake of Ye Ji and Min Seo,

let's...

Let's please pretend nothing happened,

including that video,

and go back to being...

Oh, my.

Get the heck out...

before I completely humiliate you.

Jeez.

This is driving me nuts.

Thank you so much...

- for the autograph.
- My pleasure.

Oh, I've been really enjoying your work...

- on "Model House."
- I see.

It's quite entertaining.

It's "Townhouse," actually.

Model or town, it makes no difference.

A house is a house, right?

Right.

Anyway, you're so handsome.

How long is it going to take to fix?

I'll do it as soon as possible
and hit you up when it's ready.

All right.

- I'll take off, then.
- Sure.

- My cab is here.
- I see.

Thank you. Take good care of it.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Goodness.

- Who is it? A celebrity?
- He's a celebrity.

- Is it Cha Eun Bin?
- Yes.

- Celebrities look special indeed.
- You saw his face?

[Min Seo's mom]

[Calling]

[Incoming call: J]

I'm going to need divine
intervention at this point.

[Incoming call: J]

[Incoming call: J]

Are you all right?

You must've been very shaken yesterday.

Your lover is...

passed out with her
head in my office toilet.

Come pick her up.

Both of them are an
absolute nightmare, darn it.

Jeez, I'm screwed.

Oh, man.

sh**t.

Darn it.

[It's a total misunderstanding.]

[I only called to get the money.]

[Please don't be mad.]

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Oh, hello.

- Did you get this for us?
- Yes, please have some.

We usually swap them out once a month...

or every two weeks if you prefer.

You can select pieces from
your favourite artists too.

I'm sure your opinion is the best choice.

Don't say that.

You wanted some art.

I'll go with whatever
you say, Captain Park.

Goodness.

Oh, one second.

There.

Do you have any plans after this?

Plans...

Even if I do, I don't.

Then, let me treat you to a meal.

- Do you like eel?
- Eel?

There's this spot called King Eel,
where I only take special guests.

It's really popular with a long line.

Let's head there right away.

- They always get me a room.
- Sounds wonderful.

Shall we go down to the first floor?

She's got to be kidding me.

Special guests, my foot. What a joke.

Anyone in there?

Excuse me?

Oh, boy.

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

- Don't come.
- Sorry.

Oh, my.

Are you sure you're okay?

Don't come.

Well...

I'll wait right outside.

[Car Maintenance and Repair
Record, Owner: Lim Jae Hong]

Sir.

Are you sure...

the owner is a guy?

Yes.

He's that actor, you know.

- An actor?
- The one...

from "Townhouse" or "Model House."

What was his name again?

Oh, one second.

I got an autograph from
him. It was Cha something.

Here it is.

Cha Eun Bin.
