[Episode 14]

[thrilling music playing]

[Detective Lee]
It was a woman? Are you sure?

You think I can't tell the difference
between a man and a woman?

The man I saw before...

He's Kingfisher.

I saw Kingfisher sniping,
and I was spotted.

[Mi Ran] It's extremely rare
for a serial k*ller like Kingfisher...

to suddenly abandon their principles.

The suspect is believed
to be a woman in her thirties?

What is this?

[phone buzzes]

What is it?

I'm a little busy right now.

[music fades]

[phone chimes]

[Blocked Number]

- [door closes]
- You're being dispatched? At this hour?

Where are you headed?

[gasps] Seonyudo Island?

With the SWAT team?
Wow, what a huge operation.

Be careful and don't get hurt.

Hey, when are you going to meet with me?
You said you'd be my sparring partner.

Well...

Where are you going?

- Hey.
- [door lock beeps open]

[line ringing]

[tense music playing]

[ringing continues]

[My Big Treasure]

[panting]

[tense music continues]

It's not fair. For the two of us.

We basically do the same job.

Listen, I'm warning you.

My husband, my child...

If you lay a single finger on them,

you'll find out
what a living hell feels like.

Oh, really?
Then you can go through a living hell too.

You can be completely destroyed too.

After losing everything you hold dear.

[music fades]

[gasps]

I wonder if you'll still be able
to act so high and mighty then.

[tense music playing]

[snickers]

[grunting]

[groans]

I'm a step too late again.

[tires squeak]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Police]

[Detective Lee] Let me repeat myself.

Capturing them alive is the priority.

Yes, sir. Attention, all personnel.

We must capture the suspect alive.
Understood?

Teams 1 and 2, this way. Team 3, that way.

Move in.

[grunting]

- [both panting]
- [music stops]

Why did you stop?

Go on.

[Leila snickers]

k*ll me.

In front of your husband.

Do what you're good at. [chuckles]

[breathes heavily]

[tense music playing]

- [g*n shots]
- [gasps]

[police radio beeps]

[man on police radio] Suspected on
the rooftop of the building at 11 o'clock.

[police 1] This way. Team 1, with me.
Team 2, provide cover.

Move.

Yu Bo Na.

Rot in prison for the rest of your life.

[panting]

- [breathes heavily]
- [pensive music playing]

Dong Jin is here. We have to go.

We have to go. Quickly.

Hurry.

What is this? Did he know everything?

[Bo Na] If it's an unstoppable blade,
I hope it comes for me.

That the barrel of the g*n
is aimed only at me.

[g*nshots]

Please secure the perimeter as well.

[breathes heavily]

Honey.

Honey.

[sobbing shakily]

Honey, how...

- [Tae Sung] No. Honey.
- [Young Do] Ma'am.

So it was you, Leila.

[Tae Min] Let's catch that woman.

- [panting]
- [police radio beeps]

[police 1 on police radio]
She's not in the building.

[police 2] She's not here either.

[sighs deeply]

[Young Do on police radio]
North side of the park.

Suspect spotted in the area
near the Han River.

She's heading toward Seonyu Bridge.

All units, move to that location.

Darn it.

[tense music continues]

[breathes heavily]

First, let's get out of here.

[drone buzzing]

[panting]

Suspect spotted. She's carrying
what appears to be a firearm.

Secure her before she exits the park.

Darn it.

[tense music intensifies]

[No Entry]

The pleasure is all ours. We appreciate
the personal invitation. [chuckles]

[pensive music playing]

[Bong Pal] So we meet like this.

Follow me.

This way.

Be careful, it's slippery.

[engine revving]

It looks like
Kwon Tae Sung made his choice.

Now it's Yu Bo Na's turn.

[Detective Lee] Freeze.

Police. Don't move.

- [panting]
- [music fades]

Drop the g*n and put your hands up.

Now.

[tense music playing]

It's over, Kingfisher.

- [Detective Lee] Drop the g*n.
- [sighs]

Kingfisher?

Yu Bo Na.

You're so lucky.

Unbelievable.

[tense music continues]

[g*ns firing]

[Detective Lee] Cease fire.

Cease fire!

[breathes heavily]

[music fades]

[Children Protection Zone]

[Bong Pal] As you know,

we can't go to a regular hospital.

I know.

[pensive music playing]

[Bomyeong Clinic]

[Bong Pal] Get her inside, quickly.

[Dr. Go] Get everything ready. Now.

She'll be all right.

[Operating Room]

[No Entry]

Tae Sung.

There are people who help her out
when needed.

She's going to be okay.

Okay.

[heart monitor beeping]

[Operating Room]

[exhales deeply]

[Operating Room]

Sit down.

[pensive music continues]

Luckily, it only damaged muscle tissue
and missed her vitals.

- [sighs in relief]
- She'll be fine with a little rest.

Thank you.

[police siren blaring]

[ambulance siren wailing]

[Beom] Sir.

The National Forensic Service
is on standby.

Since this is such a major case,

the director himself
is performing the autopsy.

Looks like we'll be pulling an all-nighter
for the autopsy.

Anything unusual happened
while you were on watch?

Any suspicious activity?

No, not really.

Is something bothering you?

[sighs] I don't know.

I don't know if I missed something
or if I'm still missing something.

[gentle music playing]

Why did you do it?

[sighs] Honey, why did you step in for me?

[voice breaking] If something happens
to you, how am I supposed to live?

[sobs] Without you, how...
how can I go on?

[sobbing]

[sniffles]

[phone buzzing]

[Director Na Guk Jin]

[phone buzzes]

[Director Na Guk Jin]

[buzzing continues]

[New Message From Director Na Guk Jin]

[Director Na] Hey, Kwon Tae Sung.
Why aren't you answering my calls?

Don't tell me you're still sleeping.

Kingfisher was shot and k*lled
by the police last night.

Hey, you need to get over there now.
The Forensic Service or Police Agency.

[male reporter] Last night,
the serial sh**ter...

known as Kingfisher was k*lled.

Rot in prison for the rest of your life.

[male reporter] According to reports,
Kingfisher was in Seoul last night...

and was k*lled on site
following a police chase.

Kingfisher's identity,
which had been shrouded...

in mystery for the past 15 years,

was unexpectedly revealed
to be a woman in her thirties,

leaving the public in a state
of shock and confusion.

From the National Forensic Service?
Has Kingfisher's identity been confirmed?

Who is it?
Please release the name and face.

Why was the suspect k*lled
and not captured alive?

Are you sure the woman in her thirties
who died at the scene is Kingfisher?

[reporters clamoring]

[cheering, applauding]

- Good work.
- You all worked hard.

Be careful lifting it.

[Special Investigation Team 2]

Good work.

But what do you mean
her identity can't be confirmed?

Her fingerprints and DNA information
don't show up in the national database.

We also checked
with the immigration office,

but there are no
matching foreigner fingerprints.

So what,
she entered the country illegally?

Well, for now, we've requested
an identity check through Interpol.

My goodness, nothing ever goes smoothly.

Still, it's a relief that we caught her.

You did well. You also did well.

[phone buzzing]

[Commissioner Shin Min Seok]

Everyone's going crazy.

Yes, Commissioner.

[sighs heavily]

[pensive music playing]

Honey.

[Tae Sung] Are you okay?

Are you really okay?

You did well. You went through so much.

Where are you hurting?
Are you uncomfortable anywhere?

Should I go get a doctor?

Honey, if you get up...

Can you get the Team Leader for me?

Okay.

Is Manager Yu all right? She's awake?

Yes.

Bo Na is asking for the Team Leader.

[Hospital Room]

Se Ah, I don't think
I can come home tonight.

[Se Ah] Okay, then I'll have her sleep
at our place tonight.

Okay, thank you.

[phone beeps]

[Hospital Room]

Honey, what are you doing?

Why? Are you trying to go somewhere?

You already knew, didn't you?

It was from that day.

The day Yul went to the emergency room.

You kept avoiding my gaze.

The day you looked at me
like I was a stranger.

[pensive music playing]

That's why you came home late for a while,

and you couldn't eat or sleep well.

- Honey, I...
- You must have had a really hard time.

Honey, just listen to me for a second.

You were angry too, weren't you?

At your wife who deceived you
for so long, right?

You must have been so confused...

and felt hopeless.

You're right.

I was angry,

and I was confused and felt hopeless.

Honestly, your secret was so heavy
that I was scared, but...

I've come to only one conclusion.
To protect you.

To protect you and to protect our family.

Honey, let's just go back
to how we were, okay?

We can laugh again...

You know, we can act
like nothing ever happened.

Like nothing ever happened?

I don't think I can do that.

Every time you look at me,

you'll be reminded of
what kind of person I am.

I'll feel like a stranger to you,

and you'll be confused and tormented.

You'll be anxious every moment,
wondering...

when something like this
will happen again.

No, that's not true at all.

I'll become your hell.

No, honey. Please, no.

I can't go back to the way I was.

You still don't really know me.

[solemn Korean music playing]

[door opens, closes]

[Bomyeong Clinic]

Honey. Honey, wait.

Honey.

[breathes heavily]

[solemn Korean music continues]

[Bo Na] I can't go back to the way I was.

You still don't really know me.

[Bong Pal] Manager Yu...

has submitted her resignation.

I suggested she take sick leave
or a leave of absence, but...

it seems she's already made up her mind.

[music fades]

[Seul Gi] Kwon Tae Sung.

I stopped by on my way to the airport.

I'm sorry.

I should have acted sooner.

That g*nsh*t before...

I was sent to protect her.

I'm going to be in so much trouble
with Mama when I get back, right?

Is Bo Na going with you?

[pensive music playing]

I know from experience.

Just the mention of hurting
her husband or child,

and Yu Bo Na gets that look in her eye.

A person like that...

I did try asking her a few times...

[clicks tongue]

...but she flat-out refused.

It's a shame for the person who's waiting.

When I said I thought
Bo Na had met someone good...

I really meant it.

I told Bo Na the same thing.

She would know that better than anyone.

So...

Thank you.

[Ms. Bae] Please handle this with care.

I sent these flowers to Cheol today.
They're called marguerites,

but they look a lot like cosmos flowers.

That's why our customers
often get them confused.

What's the meaning of that flower?

To reveal a secret.

True love.

True love has no secrets.

Revealing secrets is what makes love true.

I used to think that's what it meant,

but someone told me...

that the meaning isn't very good.

That sometimes you have secrets
because you love someone too much.

[Bo Na]
He's a person who lives in the light.

We're different people.

If he knew how different we are,
we couldn't be together.

I'm not worried.

Because that won't happen.

The day he sees my other side...

will never come.

[Ms. Bae] At the time, I thought
it was her confidence...

that her secret wouldn't be discovered.

But looking back, I think it was anxiety.

Like a promise she made to herself
not to be afraid.

Because she...

knew what would be waiting at the end.

I think perhaps from the very beginning,

she had already decided
how she would end things...

if a moment like this ever came.

That's a thought I had, anyway.

[keyboard clicking]

[Comparison of Hair from sn*per Scene
and Deceased's DNA: No Match]

[sighs heavily]

[telephone rings]

This is Kingfisher Task Force.

Yes.

Did we hear back from Interpol?

Yes, thank you.

Sir, it's the international
cooperation officer.

They've found a DNA match
for the body from Russia.

Russia?

[Comparing DNA To Russian Data]

[Identity Confirmed]

[Beom] Leila Choi.

Thirty-eight years old.

Reported missing about 15 years ago.

Her whereabouts after that are unknown?

Fifteen years...

That overlaps with
when Kingfisher was active, right?

Man, this is undeniable then.

So her name was Leila.

Then she must have entered the country
illegally 15 years ago...

and has been living
as an undocumented resident.

[sighs heavily]

[Special Investigation Team 1]

Isn't that strange?

What is?

The fact that the hair DNA didn't match?

Well, it could have belonged
to an accomplice.

That woman, in the middle of the night...

Why did she go to that park alone?

[sighs] That's a good point.

Was she going to meet someone?

But the park was closed then,
so no one else was there.

Exactly.

There shouldn't have been anyone there.

[door lock beeping]

Oh, you're home.

Yes. Where's Yul?

She's already asleep.
Look what time it is.

She'll be sleeping here again tonight.

Mom...

Where did Yul's mother go?

I told you, she went
on a long-term overseas business trip.

- All of a sudden?
- Where overseas?

When is she coming back?

See? Look at his guilty face.

If only he was a better liar.

The moment he walked in
with that grim look on his face,

I knew something was up.

Tell me.
What on earth did you do to Bo Na?

- Tell me.
- Tell me.

- Tell me.
- Tell me.

What, did you give her hell
for prioritizing her work over her family?

What century do you think this is?

He still doesn't get it.

I'm sure you're the one at fault here.

My point exactly.

When you guys were newlyweds,

I gave her a hard time
because she was clumsy with a knife,

and a month later, she came back
with calluses on her hands.

Imagine how much she must have
practiced chopping.

I gave her a funny look
when she didn't know who Hyun Bin was,

so she went and watched everything
he'd been in.

Then she recited his lines flawlessly.

She even asked,
"I'm not weird anymore, am I?"

[Doo Ri] I didn't even ask her to,

but she had her whole department
get every single insurance I sell...

including life, accident, medical,
and long-term care insurance.

I was the top performer that month.

- [See Ah] No way.
- [Soon II] Really?

- [Doo Ri] Yes.
- That's the kind of person she is.

For someone who tries so hard
at everything...

Imagine how bad things must have been.

She's so devoted to her family.

How could she leave Yul behind
and just walk out?

My sister-in-law doesn't have any friends.
She'd have nowhere to go.

- [sighs]
- [pensive music playing]

She...

[sobs] Does she have her own family?
Any blood relatives?

There's no one in this whole world
to take her in.

What in the world did you do
to make her leave home?

[sobbing continues]

- Oh no, what should we do?
- Mom.

- Mom, Mom.
- Mom, are you okay?

- Wait.
- Are you okay?

- Mom, your blood pressure is rising.
- Mom, calm down.

Mom, your blood pressure can't get high.

Hey! Go get her
blood pressure medicine. Hurry.

- Hurry, hurry. It's over there.
- Mom, are you okay?

[Seon Ja] When I think about it,
I have so many things to be sorry.

- My wife sure has a lot of supporters.
- [Soon Il] Don't be so sad, Mom.

- This is dangerous. So dangerous.
- Let me take a look at it.

Why, you...

[pensive music playing

[Tae Sung]
She doesn't have any family here.

[8 Years Ago]

She was adopted by a family in Russia
when she was a kid.

Then she came back here
once she was an adult.

Be good to her. She's my girlfriend.

Why are you asking me?

It's you who should be good to her.

You said she doesn't have any family.

You better be good to her, man.

[sighs heavily]

[panting]

[Young Do on police radio]
I've spotted the suspect.

[Tall, Slender, Short Or Tied Hair,

[Tall, Slender, Short Or Tied Hair,

[Tall, Slender, Short Or Tied Hair,
Red Devils Gear, Big Bag]

[Tae Sung] My wife, my child...

The family I love...

I have to protect them.

You're going to have my back, right?

[Tae Sung] You said you'd pay me back.

[tense music playing]

[Municipal Police]

[music fades]

[Not Today]

[Investigative Reporting Team]

Jeez, he must've been really shocked.

He's just been totally out of it
since that day.

I know.

He just sits there all day
staring at articles about Kingfisher.

[inhales sharply] Do you think he's
stunned it turned out to be a woman?

Or is he just mad
that he missed out on the scoop?

I mean...

He must be upset.
He spent years digging into this.

[clicks tongue] You know,
reporters get like this sometimes.

Just leave him alone for now.

["Live by the g*n, Die by the g*n:
Kingfisher's Tragic End"]

["From Arbiter of Justice to k*ller:
The Fall of Kingfisher"]

[intriguing music playing]

["Kingfisher's True Face Was That
of a Vicious k*ller"]

I opened the door
to bring their food into the room,

and the two of them
were whispering secrets...

before they suddenly stopped.

It made me curious,

so I listened
through the door's crack after I left.

"Let's do it abroad. Let's meet there."

They were saying something
along those lines.

Did you happen to hear
what it was they were planning to do?

[sighs]

I think they said something
about some girl.

Oh, they said that as long as it is paid,

it's all taken care of
with no strings attached.

[phone buzzes]

[food sizzling]

[Old Marketplace]

Oh.

Mr. Kwon Tae Sung.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Please, come in.

Some time ago,

Manager Yu once said she wanted to quit.

At the time, we all begged her to stay.

We thought that if things went on,
Manager Yu...

might die. Everyone was worried.

Manager Yu only...

focused on one thing...

as she forged ahead.

She thought if she kept at it,

the world would get a little better,

and it would become safer. But...

Does the world really get better
that easily?

That's what...

made Manager Yu the most tired and weary.

[soft, pensive music playing]

Oh, one moment. Wait.

Thinking that we had to save a life,

we sent her on a long vacation.

We decided that when she returned,

if she still felt the same way,
we wouldn't try to stop her.

But after three or four months,

she came back...

and asked me to tear up
her resignation letter.

[soft, pensive music continues]

[Bong Pal] Even now, I think Manager Yu...

needs that kind of time.

So...

just think of it as sending her
on a long trip.

If you do,

just like you two first met
when she was desperate,

an even greater, desperate opportunity...

will come along.

- [breathes deeply]
- [phone buzzes]

[Detective Lee Dong Jin]

[phone buzzing continues]

[clears throat]

[sniffles]

What's up this late at night?

[Detective Lee] Oh, nothing.
I was just thinking of you.

What are you up to?

[sighs] My wife and Yul said
they wanted ice cream,

so I ran to the convenience store
and am heading home now.

Ice cream? In the middle of the night?

That's what they wanted.

Evening practice will be tough for a while
since you're taking care of Yul.

All right, keep in touch.

[suspicious music playing]

What about Yul?

Se Ah's sister-in-law went away,
so Yul is staying at her place for now.

Bo Na did? Where'd she go?

Her brother said
she's on a long business trip abroad,

but she didn't think so.

She is wondering if something happened
between them.

I guess things at home
aren't great these days.

[Tae Sung] Hello.

He calls and then says nothing.

Hello. Lee Dong Jin.

Hey.

I'm going to ask you
just one very important question,

so answer carefully.

[suspicious music continues]

What is it now?

Who do you like more? Me or your wife?

Are you crazy? Have you been drinking?

[Detective Lee]
I'm being serious right now.

My Bo Na, of course.

I can live happily ever after without you.

But I can't live a single day
without my Bo Na.

Are you serious?

You won't regret that, will you?

Yes. Ask me 100 times.
My answer won't change.

[music ends]

[voice trembling]
The best thing I've ever done was...

meeting Bo Na, marrying her,
and our family...

I mean, building a home together.

I'm hanging up, you psycho.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[Mommy, I Miss You. I Love You A Lot.]

[sighs]

[Mommy, I Miss You. I Love You A Lot.]

["Marguerite" by Sondia playing]

[Tae Sung] Which one was your favorite?

[Bo Na hums thoughtfully] All of them.

I loved them all. Everything.

[Summer 6 years ago]

- [Bo Na] It's so nice.
- [Tae Sung] I think this spot is pretty.

- Here?
- Would you like to take a photo here?

Okay, one, two.

- [camera shutter clicking]
- [both chuckle]

Stand over there.

Me?

[Tae Sung] Princess Yu Bo Na.

[chuckles] Mind your manners.

- It's dangerous, right?
- Okay, strike a pose.

[Tae Sung] One, two, three.

Taking a picture here.
Was today's mission a success?

- Mission accomplished. [chuckles]
- Yes, looks great.

- What should we do next?
- [hums thoughtfully] Next?

Make and eat jjajang ramyeon
at home on Sunday.

You know that? On Sunday,
I'm the chef of jjajang ramyeon.

- [laughs]
- The chef of jjajang ramyeon.

All right. What else?

- Get strawberry shakes for dessert.
- Okay.

- Watch a late-night movie. Horror movie?
- I'd love to.

- You can handle it, right?
- No.

[both laugh]

After that, we'll go for a picnic
at the Han River and eat chicken.

We have so much to do.
We'd better be quick about it.

Is there anything you want to do,
Tae Sung?

I want to get married.

["Marguerite" by Sondia continues]

Well, getting married is still a little...

Ah...

But when people do this,
they usually prepare something.

This is a proposal, right?

When I see this on TV,
they always give something.

Oh, a ring. The ring. I am sorry.
I mean, this is not a formal proposal.

It was just something
I have been holding back for a long time,

and it just slipped out
without me knowing.

I am going to prepare a formal proposal...

I was planning to give you the ring then.
I'm preparing for all those things.

I see.

But when...

[whispers] When are you going to do it?

Let me know in advance when you decide.

That way, I can also think about
what my answer is going to be.

[whispers] So let me know the date.

- Tae Sung, hurry up.
- [chuckles]

[Tae Sung] There are still so many things
I want to do with you.

- Really?
- Things we haven't done yet. Like...

Better things, more special things,
things like that.

From now on, let's do them all
one by one, together.

Okay, together.

[crying]

["Marguerite" by Sondia continues]

[music ends]

[Digging News]

[Investigative Reporting Team]

Sir. Your hunch was right.

The two Kingfisher victims
were in Cambodia last summer.

And their time in Cambodia overlaps.

And this.

During that time in Cambodia,

a mother and daughter
who sold food on the street

were m*rder*d in another incident.

They were found dead...

and the culprit has not been found.

Please prepare a travel request
for four days

and three nights in Cambodia.

Yes, sir.

[investigative music playing]

[Detective Lee Dong Jin]

[line ringing]

Detective Lee Dong Jin,

let's wrap this case up.

Together.

[music ends]

[upbeat music playing]

[both grunting]

Kwon Se Ah, you still got the moves.

Well, my moves to become police officer
are about to come back too.

Jeez, you really underestimate the police.

Of course I do.
I know a cop who got thrown...

by a small girl
and whined for her to keep it a secret.

You are still talking about that?

Hey, that was a cheap shot.

That is why you should focus.

[Beom grunts]

[both exclaim]

[both grunt]

That was close. Focus.

Hey, I told you not to go easy on me.

Are you doing judo with your mouth?

[upbeat music builds]

[both gasp]

[Beom Sung Hoon]

[music ends]

[heart fluttering music playing]

[Kwon Se Ah]

[teammates cheer teasingly]

[heart fluttering music continues]

[grunts] Man, I almost died doing judo.

- [chokes]
- Hey, I told you not to do that.

What do you think you are doing
in a sacred dojo?

Hey, what did I do?
You are the one wrestling in a dojo.

You went easy on me, didn't you?

[music fades]

[Kwon Se Ah, Beom Sung Hoon]

[gentle music playing]

[sighs]

[Young Do] Is your tournament preparation
going well?

[Se Ah] Well, it has been so long
since I quit training,

so I am just getting
the feel for it again.

I thought you could win
even if you competed today.

I saw you with my own eyes.

[chuckles]
Well, that was more of a real fight.

A real match is different.

I said I wanted to know
what kind of person you are.

[soft music playing]

From what I see, you are...

bright, honest, and brave.

And you are upright and proper.

Well, I think you are mostly right.

I think you probably have a rough idea
of who I am too.

So...

I think you're probably thinking
the same thing as me.

The same? What thought?

That we can't have a future together.

That kind of thinking.

I really enjoyed getting
to know you, Se Ah.

I had a wonderful time with you.

You're going to be a great police officer.

I'll always be rooting for you from afar.

[soft music continues]

I promise I'll become
a great police officer.

Thank you, Assistant Manager Ki.

[music ends]

[pensive music playing]

If I go somewhere else again,
will you follow me then too?

Where are you going?

Where would I go? Everything's right here.

She went alone this time.

[music ends]

Stop moping and get up.

Quickly.

[rhythmic, quirky music playing]

From now on, let's eat together
at mealtimes.

You have to eat to live.

- I actually eat something.
- A meal.

A proper, warm meal,
not just some junk food to get by.

I eat proper meals sometimes.

After we eat, let's go for a walk
in the park nearby.

What?

Don't just coop yourself up
in that smelly little room.

Get some fresh air once in a while. Okay?

I get fresh air sometimes.

After our walk,
we're going clothes shopping.

[dazed, whimsical music playing]

You have a good frame, at least.

I'm a pretty sharp dresser.

I'm doing all this for myself.

Now that Manager Yu is gone,

think of how often the two of us
will have to go out together.

We need to stay in good shape.

[dazed, whimsical music continues]

What are you doing?
Your food's getting cold.

Okay.

[Hyun Nam clears throat]

- [music ends]
- [Yul sobbing] Mom.

Mom!

- Mom, where are you?
- Yul, what's wrong?

When is Mom coming home?

[sobbing continues]

Yul.

Mom has so much work
that she's not finished yet.

But I miss Mom.

I guess Mom doesn't miss me.

[sighs] That's not true.

Mom misses you so much
that she cries every night.

- Really?
- Of course.

Yul, Mom misses you too,

but she's being brave and working hard.

- [breathing shakily]
- So what should you do?

[gentle, emotional music playing]

You should be brave
and do well too, right?

That way, when Mom comes home...

When Mom comes home,
she'll see that you bravely...

waited for her,
and she'll be happy, right?

Until then, you have to play well,
eat well, and sleep well.

And I'll work hard at my job.

That way, you and I can be brave together
while we wait for Mom.

How does that sound?

[sniffles]

You're such a good girl.

It's an ill*gal website. Here and here.

This is evidence related to the case.

It's a document that was faxed over
from the police in Cambodia.

Please take a look.

Dinner's here.

Wow, it looks delicious.

[tender music playing]

My mom likes chicken porridge too.

Right? Your mom loves chicken porridge.

- Yes.
- Am I a good cook?

- Yes, you are.
- [chuckles] Thank you.

Dad, I finished tidying up.

You did all this yourself, Yul?

Good job.

["Kingfisher's Last Two Victims
Were Not Innocent Civilians"]

[Tae Sung] Kingfisher's last two victims
were not innocent civilians.

[Detective Lee] The shocking truth
has been revealed about the two men...

known as Kingfisher's final victims.

It was believed the two men
had no connection to each other.

But it's been confirmed they were
in a Southeast Asian country...

and staying together at one point.

After investigating the case with a tip
provided by a domestic news outlet...

and the help of local law enforcement,

we uncovered the process
of their criminal plot

and their act to m*rder
a mother and daughter.

[reporter] According to
a joint investigation

by a news outlet and the police,

the two men were traveling
in a Southeast Asian country.

They lured and attempted
to sexually as*ault...

an eight-year-old girl
selling food on the street.

When they failed
because the girl's mother fought back,

they brutally m*rder*d
the mother and daughter...

and abandoned their bodies.

The two men, a practicing doctor
and a middle school teacher,

were sharing child sexual
exploitation material...

as active members
of an ill*gal online site.

They met offline to plot their crime,

then pretended they were
traveling abroad separately

before meeting up at the location
to carry it out.

All right, everyone, let's head out.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Right.

["24" by Moon Sujin playing]

Where's Tae Min? [exclaims softly]

Be safe.

[reporter] They were long thought
to be innocent civilians...

victimized by Kingfisher.

But as the shocking truth of their crimes
has been revealed,

public opinion on Kingfisher
is shifting once again.

Support is growing for the idea that...

Kingfisher didn't harm
innocent civilians...

["24" by Moon Sujin continues]

That guy.

He really went
and cleared Kingfisher's name.

[sighs]

[Special Investigation Team 1]

[sighs] I guess I should tidy
that up now too.

[pensive music playing]

[Ok's Flower Shop]

As for Yu Bo Na's ending...

I wonder how that will turn out.

[birds chirping]

Yul, I'm working late today,

[6 months later]

...so Aunt Se Ah is going
to pick you up. Okay?

Wash your hands as soon as you get home,

and I've already made the curry you like,
so enjoy it with your aunt.

You can do that, right, sweetheart?

Yes, I can.

[chuckles softly]

- That's my girl.
- The best, the best.

This is how Mom used to do it.
The best, the best.

Your mom did that?

Oh? It's snowing. Dad, look, it's snowing.

Wow, snow.

[tender music playing]

Want to go outside and see?

Wow, it's snowing so much.

You're right. The first snow
is early this year, isn't it?

Wow, it's so pretty.

My name is Yu Bo Na. That's my real name.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

This is my first time being in love.

It's beautiful.

[tender music continues]

[sighs deeply]

Do you have any idea
where she could have gone?

I'm not sure.

She's always been good at hiding.

She's probably somewhere...

looking for a view of her own.

But she came back
three or four months later

and asked me to tear up
her resignation letter.

So I asked her why.

And she said just one thing.

That she'd seen a beautiful sight.

I wondered what beautiful sight
she could have seen...

to bring her who was wasting away
back to life like that.

But seeing you, Kwon Tae Sung, I realized.

So you're the one.

[Bong Pal] The one who saved Manager Yu.

[tires screech]

[tender music rises]

[music ends]

She never used to go outside.
I wonder why she's suddenly going hiking.

Especially on a day like this.
The path must be rough.

[Tae Sung] Merry Christmas.

This is a Christmas gift for you, Bo Na.

[chuckles]
Isn't it so brilliant and beautiful?

I used to suck on these when I was a kid.

We could even make shaved ice
with this, right?

[melancholic music playing]

I was so scared...

that you would disappear, Bo Na.

[Tae Sung] Maybe love...

begins when you fall for just one
of the many sides of a person.

Don't you think so?

For me, it has already begun.

[melancholic music continues]

[music fades]

[soft, dramatic music playing]

[Tae Sung] It's beautiful.

This place is definitely more charming
in the winter.

Don't you think?

This field of wildflowers used to be
my favorite view in the world.

But ever since that day,
it changed to this snow-covered field.

I guess your taste in scenery changes
depending on who you're with.

I wonder if the flowers
would be sad to hear that.

The path up was so rough
that it took me a while to get here.

And because of the snow,

I was worried the trail would be closed,

but luckily, the mountain let me pass.

But I still slipped two times
because I was in such a hurry.

I didn't have a chance
to get the proper shoes.

I...

I thought I didn't need to know.

Where you were born or how you grew up.

What you did for work
or how you've lived your life.

All of that... I thought I was fine
not knowing any of it.

Because the Yu Bo Na I know
was enough for me.

The one who now eats chicken
and chicken porridge,

who tells Yul to get along
with her friends every day,

who has a mother,

and even has three aunts.

You're not alone anymore.

I know you so well.

I love you more than anyone else
in the world.

[voice trembling] But now I want to know.

What you were feeling
on that long journey here.

How hard it was.

If you were lonely and scared.

I want to know all the sides of you
that I don't know.

[soft, dramatic music continues]

I know we can't go back
to how things were.

But let's do this instead.

Let's slowly get to know each other.

Okay?

So I can love every part of who you are,
Yu Bo Na.

Honey, let's go home.

[sobbing]

It's too cold out here.

Yul is waiting.

I told her that a wish made
on the first snow comes true,

so she wished to see her mom.

The same as me.

[Bo Na sniffles]

[soft, dramatic music rises]

[Bo Na crying]

I have a question.

Okay.

- [Tae Sung] Back during the World Cup...
- [Bo Na] Yes?

...why did you report me?

Because you were handsome?

[chuckles]

You seemed like a good person.

[Bo Na chuckles]

[music ends]

[Taesung Chicken]

[Taesung Chicken]

[cheerful music playing]

Geez, why do you keep cleaning
every chance you get?

Are you still that happy about it?

Of course, I am.

I feel like I have everything
in the world.

But the more I think about it,
that landlord is an amazing person.

I mean, how could they sell this shop
for that price?

I know.

I was already grateful
that they never raised the rent.

They're truly a good person.

I thought I'd finally get to see them
at the contract signing,

but they never showed up.

I know. [chuckles]

[sighs]

You always said
your life was in this place,

and now, late in life,
your life is truly blossoming.

You bet. This is really my shop now.

I will...

bet my entire life on this.

Oh, I'm sure you are.

[both laugh]

[gasps] Mom, we're going to be late.

Oh, my. I'm not thinking straight.

[chuckles]

Did you pack plenty of snacks and drinks?

- I packed a ton.
- Okay.

Let's hurry up and go.

Let's go!

Oh, she must be happy

[host] Okay, next up
is the parent relay race.

[cheering, applause]

See the calf muscles on number one
from the other team?

- That mom does PT three times a week.
- Three times.

She has a fast start.

And number two keeps shifting her weight
to her left foot.

That means her knee is bad.

Okay.

She'll slow down on the corners.

Number three, in particular,
is a dangerous one.

- Why?
- Why?

Go, Sol's Mom.

- Mom.
- Looking good.

People like that are
incredibly competitive.

She'll go nuts when she gets the baton.

And the last one over there, number five.

She came in heels
and just changed into sneakers.

- No way, what do we do?
- That means, "You're all dead today."

That's what that means.

Okay, then I'll be the anchor.

Because finishing things off
is my specialty.

Okay.

All right. Ready to do this?

- Go for the k*ll!
- You got this.

- Go!
- Go, Blue Team!

That's a total waste of talent.

[cheering continues]

- [music ends]
- [Detective Lee sighs]

- [sighs, then gasps]
- [screams]

[laughs]

You scared me.

You're slacking off instead of working?

Oh, come on.

I'm not slacking off.

I'm just taking a break from the sun.

I felt like I was going
to burn to a crisp.

Why do you make things so hard
for yourself?

You turned down a special promotion
and a reward.

You're probably the first detective
to ever ask for a demotion.

Look who's talking. Jeez.

Hey, is it common
for a reporter to turn down

the Journalist of the Year award?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

The world is still full of bad guys.

That's why we're getting so much crap.

They want Kingfisher back.

People always long for
what's no longer there.

Well, they should look for that
in fantasy novels.

That's why you should go back to your post
and do your job, okay?

Do a good job
so another one isn't born into this world.

I will.

[grunts]

You should worry about doing your own job,
Kwon Tae Sung.

[chuckles] I always do my job.

[reporter] This morning,
a woman in her thirties was found dead...

from stab wounds
in a residential area of Seoul.

Police believe a man in his 40s
who served time for stalking the woman...

was released from prison
and held a grudge...

against her for reporting him,
and m*rder*d her in an act of revenge.

They announced they are currently
tracking the fugitive.

The victim had told friends and family...

that she believed he would come for her
after his release,

and reportedly suffered
from extreme anxiety.

Amidst growing public anxiety
over repeated crimes related to revenge,

[phone buzzing]

...the police are focusing their efforts
on apprehending the suspect.

Yes.

Okay, shall we?
