The kid...

What do I do about this?
What?
I'm so close to the Blue House...
Do I have to stop in my tracks just because I stepped on a little bug?
Or shall we make sure it's dead...

Well?
[faintly] Mommy...

Congressman.
This accident...

Why would you call Soohyun?

Nice to meet you.
[people cheering]
[Suho] See you again.
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
By the way, is Eun Soohyun doing well?
Yes, thanks to you.
[Joon smacks lips]
Back in the old days, Prince Yeonsan...
hung a sign around the neck of eunuch officials.
Do you know what it said?
"The mouth is the door to anger.
"The tongue is a sword that can slay."
Since early times,
it was important to be tight-lipped.
But...
what does that have to do with my wife?
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
Director, aren't you a devoted husband?
Keep your wife in check.

[♪ foreboding music continues playing]
[inspector] How can I help you?
I'd like to file a report...
on Kang Gunwoo's case from 2015.
Kim Joon as the new perpetrator.
[♪ tense music playing]
SOOHYUN, CALL ME BACK YOU WON'T PICK UP
[Soohyun] I'm fine.
Hyegeum saw it that day. She saw him with a tablet.
[indistinct chatter]
[anchor] While the police are seeking an arrest warrant for Park,
they'll determine his involvement in the voice phishing crime.
I'm Baek Jiwon from ABS News.
[Suho] There is a lot of interest at home and abroad
for presidential candidate Kim Joon.
[pouring liquid]
On the International Day of Peace,
the foreign media have published an article saying
Kim Joon is the future leader of Asia.
With the election, Kim Joon expresses confidence in meeting
the high expectations placed upon him.
Yes, someone like him should become the president.
- [man 1] That's ridiculous. - [man 1] What do you know about politics?
[scoffs] Bastard.
Hey. Did you say that to me?
What, scumbag?
[scoffs] What's with him?
- Stop it. - Move.
Hey, come here.
- [man] Don't do it. - [lady] Stop it.
[lady] Don't!
[people clamoring]
[♪ melancholic music playing]
[lady 2] Goodness! Stop!
- [lady 2] Stop it! You'll kill him! - [blows landing]
[lady 2] Call the cops.
[lady 1] You can't get arrested again! Stop it!
[lady 2] Hello?
[man 1] Let's stop now.
[man 2] You little punk.
Don't drink if you can't handle it.
[exhales]
The test results indicate it was dementia caused by Alzheimer's.
You've been experiencing headaches recently.
You're taking more naps.
You said you got lost on your way home, right?
It seems like it started about a year ago.
By chance,
will it progress faster?
Well, we'll try to slow it down with medicine.

I will help...
your mom.
LAW OFFICE OF PARK JOOSUNG
I look forward to working with you.
It won't be an easy fight.
Yes, we're up against a tough opponent.
I've braced myself.
But why are you filing this report now? You had the evidence.
I only found out recently
that I had the evidence.
Someone...
passed it on to me on her deathbed.
[Gunwoo] ♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪

Mom, I love you this much!

[♪ melancholic music playing]
[♪ melancholic music continues playing]
How much longer will you follow me?
I'll leave...
after you go inside.
It's cold.
Go home.
[♪ melancholic music continues playing]
I...
heard it too.
That video.
I'm sorry.
It's not your fault.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
I'm sorry.
At that time,
I made a choice.
I don't seek...
I thought it was right.
...leniency.
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
But, Seonyul.
For you...
it became...
a permanent pain.
I'm so...
sorry.
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
Hello.
- Director? - Yes.
There's a press conference over Kim Joon's lawsuit.
Who?
Well...
[♪ foreboding music playing]
[indistinct conversations]
[man 1] Hey, it's been a while.
[man 2] How have you been?
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]

[man 1] Hello, Congressman.
[man 2] We look forward to your support.
[man 3] Congressman, look over here.
[man 4] Look over here too.
[man 5] Sir, this way.
Congressman!
[lady] Look this way.
- [man 6] Will you look over here? - [man 7] Look over here.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
PRESS CONFERENCE FOR KANG GUNWOO'S CASE
Now, right this way.
I had sent an official letter to all media outlets.
Thank you for taking time out
to hear what I have to say.
I appreciate it.
Respected citizens, I'm Kim Joon, the presidential candidate
of Hankuk United Party.
To make a country with happy and safe citizens,
I decided to run for president.
After all that time,
I have come to uncover...
the truth of that day.
I have decided...
to come here today to reveal the truth.
[breathing heavily]
[Joon] Director Kang,
I need you to bring something to me.
[♪ mysterious music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[keys beeping]
[lock opens]
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[people cheering]
[man 1] Great job, Congressman!
- [man 2] Congressman. - [man 3] That was great!
[man 4] Go, Kim Joon!
What's this?
Weren't you going to Eun Soohyun's?
Don't get me started. The director said not to go.
[lady sighs]
[man] He's become Kim Joon's henchman. It regards his family, but look at him.
- Are you sure those are the facts? - Drop it.
Anyone who publishes a single line
will be sued for defamation.
You don't want to get on the future president's bad side.
It will only cause trouble.
POLLS: KIM JOON 42.8%, MIN HYEONUK 32.8%
KIM JOON'S APPROVAL RATING INCREASES
[♪ intriguing music playing]
[door opens]
Yes?
Yes, okay.
[door closes]
Kim Joon's the one stopping it.
Kim Joon's camp sent an official letter to the press.
Seeing as how they're responding,
it seems Kim Joon's feeling the psychological pressure.
I think their counter will get worse.
It doesn't matter.
I'll still let everyone know.
That won't stop me.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
[assistant] I confirmed it's the original.
Either way, only the original evidence is admissible in court.
Deepfakes are so common these days.
I can just say the rest are manipulated.
[Joon grunts]
[Joon sighs]
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
[Joon exhales]
Your wife gets to live, thanks to you.
[phone vibrating]
Take it.
She knows it's gone,
she must be looking for it.
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
[music ends]
Did you take it?
Yes.
Withdraw your complaint from Kim Joon.
Your interview and press conference won't be published.
Don't think of trying to appear on air. Please.
Don't do anything.
[♪ emotional music playing]
Do you know how Gunwoo died?
My child...
looked for his mother
as he died.
Kim Joon's the one that did that to him.
Can you forgive him for that?
You looked for justice
in everything else,
- are you still you? - If there really is...
justice in this world,
there shouldn't be kids like Gunwoo. [breath shaking]
No matter what anyone says, you're more important to me.
I don't care if people insult me as a bad father.
I will...
go to hell and take my punishment.
So just bury everything.
Live your life.
I beg of you.
I will never live in a country with a president...
who killed our son.
[♪ emotional music continues playing]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[breath trembling]
[Soohyun] If he continues to stop me like this,
I have to find a way where he can't touch me.
What can I do?
LOVE IN TIME

PURENEBOM
- [doorbell chimes] - [Goeun] Why are you just leaving?
Come in.
[doorbell chimes]
[sighs]
Eat up.
Have you had a decent meal
after you laid your mother to rest?
[♪ emotional music playing]
Yes.
You vented your anger on someone you hate.
Do you feel better?
Did it lift the weight?
You didn't do anything wrong in your life.
Why torture yourself?
Then you should've just ran her over with your car!
[sighs]
You're the son of a murderer, aren't you?
I'm the mother of a murderer.
But if we collapse like this,
would your late mother...
be able to rest in peace?
[Goeun sighs]
When I think of my child,
it breaks my heart.
[♪ emotional music continues playing]
Don't do this to my child.
It's hard on me.
It's not just me. It's your mom too.
All mothers in the world feel the same.
Seeing our child in pain
is the most painful.
[Goeun sniffles]
[♪ soft music playing]
Oh, my.
Look at me.
Seonyul.
I'm meeting victims of Junseong Foundation.
Yes.
[♪ dramatic music playing]
Hello, have you ever seen this person before?
Read it and sign it.
We can make the accusations.
No, I don't want to be involved.
Hello, I'm looking for victims of Junseong Foundation.
- Do you know anything? - No, I'm sorry.
I'm looking for victims of Junseong Foundation.
- Do you know anything? - I don't know.
Sir.
The document for Junseong Foundation. Look over it.
[man] I can't.
[Yonggu] I called you.
You got a scholarship from Junseong Foundation.
How did you end up working here?
- If you just tell me... - I can't.
Will you think it over?
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
Please.
- I beg of you. - Do you know
what kind of people they are?
My child barely survived.
I don't want to be involved.
- I'm sorry. - [Sujin] Still...
There could be more victims.
Please, I beg of you.
By chance, are you Go Geumsang?
- Who are you? - I heard you worked
at Junseong Foundation before.
We're gathering victims from there.
- We're going to accuse-- - I exposed
their corruption and got fired.
- [bottles clinking] - My life was ruined after that.
That's why we're going to do it.
[Geumsang] Just go.
[♪ dramatic music continues playing]
Yes, you just have to sign it.
Will we get harassed by Junseong Foundation?
Please, have some courage.
- Please. - Yes, we beg of you.
I don't think I can do this.
Kim Joon will be the president soon.
Wait...
[Seonyul] Kim Joon's scary.
To be honest, I feel the same.
To save my life,
my dad killed a child for Kim Joon.
He was still alive.
[♪ emotional music playing]
My mom knew the truth and was killed for it.
Now that I know,
I don't know what will happen.
But...
even if I die,
I want to see this to the end.
For the family of the boy who died for me,
for my parents.
I don't want to feel ashamed anymore. At the very least,
I think everyone here feels the same way as me.
From the bottom of my heart,
I beg of you.
- [Sujin] Please. - We beg of you.
We beg of you.
[♪ hopeful music playing]
COMPLAINT
[Yonggu] Thank you.
- Thank you. - [Sujin] Thank you!
[Yonggu] Okay, get home safely.
Goodbye.
You...
You should've told us what happened!
Why would you carry this burden alone?
Aren't we your friends?
- I'm sorry. - You're terrible.
You were amazing earlier.
How did you say all that?
I learned it from her.
Approaching people with sincerity.
Yes, Mr. Park.
I don't think the complaint is being filed.
I'm going to make a formal protest.
I think they're trying to buy time.
In the meantime,
I've been preparing something else.
[phone vibrating]
[Seonyul] I have to talk to you.
[flips phone shut]
Aren't you cold?
Here. Victims of Junseong Foundation.
Complaints and statements.
I hope they help.
You know what?
[♪ soft music playing]
You always exceeded my expectations.
Even in the worst circumstances,
you always found the right path.
I know you'll do well.
In a manner that fits you.
Seonyul.
I don't want you to get hurt.
[♪ soft music continues playing]
This is my business too.
Also, I'm not alone now.

I wasn't looking for a split second.
He's gone.
[tearfully] Mom.
[crying] Mom.
[sniffles]
Mom.
Gunwoo...
is just fine.
He's fine.
- Really? - Yes.
[♪ emotional music playing]
[Goeun chuckles softly]
[tearfully] So let's go home now, Mom.
Let's go home.
Are you cold?
I'm sorry.
For what?
What are you sorry for?
[♪ emotional music continues playing]
[Goeun] I bet my baby was scared.
Yes, Soohyun?
I asked the professor.
Your mom...
has Alzheimer's.
She's taking medication right now,
so don't worry.
Okay.
I know you're busy. Thanks for asking.

while Min Hyeonuk of the opposing party has a rating of 30%.
It seems Candidate Kim Joon has benefited from the convention effect.
Min Hyeonuk is lagging behind and can't narrow the gap.

Kim Joon has been able to gain the support from younger and female groups.

Everyone had been waiting for this news.
Is there a reason you announced it without notice?
Everything...

As for me,
that time is now.
[in English] So what can you tell our readers about your new book?
