(Train)
(This drama is fictitious and names, places, organizations, incidents,)
(entities, and jobs are unrelated to real life.)
The forked road envelops two worlds.
That day, our two different choices...
changed our fate.
Have you heard of a ghost train?
"A mysterious train showed up..."
"on empty tracks in the dark out of the blue."
There's one more person...
other than me who saw the train.
(Previously)
All of us live many lives simultaneously.
Who are you?
Then...
who are you?
You crossed over...
the boundary.
Same date, same city.
But everything is slightly different from before.
A live person is dead. A dead person is alive.
And in this world, there's another me.
We both ended up in different worlds.
Has it ever crossed your mind...
that perhaps, somewhere else, we all live a different life...
with different relationships...
in another world?
Right now, everything is all messed up.
But...
My name is Seo Do Won.
Let's start over from there.
He left his truck, so he can't have gone far.
Let's split up and search.
- I'll go this way. - Okay.
That punk.
You jerk!
What are you doing?
Jin Woo.
You jerk.
I told you I would kill you if I see you again.
No.
It's your fault. This is all your fault!
Mr. Seo!
Let go of me!
If it weren't for you, my grandma would've still been alive now.
I told you it wasn't me!
I told you I didn't steal it!
Let go of me!
(Train)
(Mukyeong Hospital)
Do Won. What is wrong with you?
Do you really not remember?
Kim Jin Woo!
He became a cop because of you. To work with you,
he joined your team. The rookie cop!
I don't get why he would follow someone like you...
when all you do is make him work like a dog.
Do you not remember the cops in your team?
That criminal...
is a detective?
Are you all right?
Did he scare you?
You know, it looked like he was going somewhere in that state...
so I was trying to stop him.
Inspector Lee said that it was a temporary condition.
How can he pick and choose whom he remembers or not?
He recognized you.
Out of everyone,
how can Mr. Seo not remember me?
(Restricted area, Do not enter)
Over here.
Do you see this?
It's arson.
He put inflammable material all over the room...
and started a fire.
Did you find evidence for murder?
It's highly likely that he committed murder in this annex.
The suspect probably set this on fire...
because something was in here.
But it's all useless now.
Any leftover bloodstains are probably carbonized.
And fingerprints would be gone.
By the way,
when did you transfer to Do Won's team?
Did you find anything?
It's nothing much. He must have used it for work.
They didn't find any bloodstains in the truck.
What about the house?
If he mutilated the body with the meat cutting machine,
it would be difficult to find the body now.
He'll be prosecuted,
but in worse-case scenario, he may be acquitted.
Exactly. What's the point of catching him for arson?
If we don't find concrete evidence for Jung Kyung Hee's murder,
he'll definitely deny the charge.
Detective Kang,
you said the meat cutting machine was the murder weapon, right?
It was in the storage room at the annex.
All of us live many lives simultaneously.
It's you. You killed Seo Kyung.
I wonder.
Jin Woo in this world...
is the real culprit?
12 years ago, Jin Woo was only 14 years old.
Is it possible for a 14-year-old to commit murder?
I looked him up. His rap sheet is a mile long.
He even got arrested for felony assault.
Felony assault?
He stabbed a student from his class in high school.
By the way, do you know him?
We found the meat cutting machine.
It reacted to luminol.
So we sent it to the NFS to compare it with Jung Kyung Hee's DNA.
That's a relief.
Elaborate.
What do you mean your grandmother died because of me?
You must not remember it since setting up a fall guy...
is nothing to you.
After what you've done to me,
you're accusing me of...
killing the landlady?
This is exactly what you did.
You pretended to believe everything I said.
You acted exactly the same way four years ago.
Four years ago?
He's denying that he killed Jung Kyung Hee.
But he won't tell us...
why he set the house on fire...
and bought the meat cutting machine.
Once we have the DNA comparison results,
we'll be able to prove he's guilty without his confession.
Should we report this to Ms. Oh?
(Name: Kim Jin Woo)
(Felony Assault)
He didn't do it.
Kim Jin Woo didn't kill Jung Kyung Hee.
I'll report to her.
I had a bad feeling when he was out in the field.
Now that he cleared his name,
he's talking nonsense.
He should just stick to what he's been doing so far.
Why did Kim Jin Woo attack him earlier?
Well, I looked into it.
It happened before Mr. Seo was transferred here.
He went to prison four years ago because of a robbery case.
The surveillance footage which couldn't identify his face...
was the only evidence Mr. Seo had.
Kim Jin Woo claimed that he was innocent to the end,
but the person who insisted that Kim Jin Woo was the culprit...
was Mr. Seo.
Isn't this obvious?
Mr. Seo was just being himself.
By the way, he was so persistent to frame him for a crime before.
But why is he insisting that Kim Jin Woo didn't do it?
The circumstantial evidence is pointing at him.
Once you get the DNA comparison results,
you'll only need his confession.
Why do you say he's not the culprit?
(Director of Detective Division, Oh Mi Sook)
I don't think we've met.
Who is she?
She transferred to my team.
This is Inspector Han Seo Kyung.
I came to say hello.
I'm Han Seo Kyung.
Kim Jin Woo went to jail four years ago,
and he was released six months ago.
That's why he can't be a suspect.
The victim disappeared two weeks ago.
What does that have to do with the fact...
that he was discharged six months ago?
Was it three years ago?
It was raining, so I was coming back from picking up Sung Wook...
from the community welfare center.
The first time Jo Young Ran found an abandoned bag...
at the train station was three years ago.
The rest of the victims were assumed to have died...
at least one year ago.
I'm investigating a case. It's a serial murder...
A case where a number of people have gone missing.
And Jung Kyung Hee is one of the victims.
Most of the victims disappeared...
when Kim Jin Woo was in jail.
You're investigating a missing persons case?
I've never heard of that before.
Is it from the Women and Juvenile Affairs Division?
It's something I've been investigating on my own.
Then give me a briefing.
Who are the missing people?
Right now, Jung Kyung Hee is the only person...
I've managed to identify.
What's that supposed to mean?
So a number of people are missing,
but you don't know who they are?
Is that what you're saying?
Then what makes you assume...
that Jung Kyung Hee isn't the only victim of this case?
I need some more time to give you a briefing.
How interesting.
A number of people have disappeared,
but you don't know who disappeared and how?
And that's why Kim Jin Woo isn't the culprit?
Do you really think that makes sense?
I'm going to carry out the investigation...
thinking that he's a key suspect.
I can't just wait and do nothing until we get the DNA test results.
I heard you framed Kim Jin Woo four years ago for theft...
merely for your performance record.
You turned an innocent man into a criminal,
but now that he's a suspect, you're saying he's innocent?
What's the matter with you?
- Give me your arm. - What?
What are you doing?
You're never going to listen anyway.
Didn't I tell you earlier to go to a hospital?
Mr. Seo.
What I'm saying is the truth.
I know I was the suspect of Lee Jin Sung's death...
and put Kim Jin Woo in jail even though he was innocent.
But I don't care who I was or how I lived in the past.
The only thing I can do right now is to do what I can in this world.
And right now, all I know is that Kim Jin Woo isn't the culprit.
I'll take care of myself.
Please don't cross the line.
(The Woman)
How? How could you?
(The Woman)
I'll take care of myself.
Please don't cross the line.
Let's go.
You won't ever get hurt like this again.
I promise.
You just wait. I promise I'll pay you back.
What?
Once I pass the test, I'll pay you back tenfold...
No, a hundredfold for all that you've done for me.
Come home early.
I'll cook your favorite for dinner.
Okay. Bye, Do Won.
He's my boyfriend.
A serial missing persons case?
Has Mr. Seo ever told you anything...
about the case?
No, it's my first time hearing about it.
How do you think he's doing...
these days?
What do you mean by that?
You know he was under suspicion of drug abuse, right?
Wasn't his name cleared at Ilsung Police Station?
Yes, but I'm worried if he's really okay.
I'm not sure.
He seems quite different these days.
But at times, he seems like the same guy.
Okay. You may leave now.
May I ask you...
why you had him transferred to Mukyeong Police Station?
He was under suspicions of having committed countless irregularities,
but you purposely had him transferred here two years ago.
You can't seem to trust him even though his name was cleared,
so I'm starting to wonder why you helped him back then.
It's not that...
I don't trust him.
I just don't trust the weakness of someone who's lost.
It's easy to make your first mistake.
If you look back, you're able to see what went wrong.
And it makes you feel like you can always turn things back.
But a wrong choice...
naturally leads you to make another wrong choice.
And once you get to your senses,
you find yourself in a huge mess.
Ms. Han?
Is there something wrong?
She just came to see me...
for no reason.
What happened to your arm?
Fortunately, you won't need stitches.
You just need to be careful for a few days.
How could she be brazen enough to say something like that?
How could you?
This is...
all because of Seo Jae Chul.
It's been over 10 years, but I still feel miserable.
And I loathe him so much.
I don't get why this had to happen to me.
It makes me so angry.
And what else?
I feel hopeless...
just like how I felt back then.
And?
I want to kill him.
You can do that.
(Vacant)
Mukyeong Station, please.
I need to go back.
(Tracks)
It was around this time.
Why?
Why is nothing happening?
(Police Officer Personnel File, Han Seo Kyung)
Hello? Yes, Seo Jae Chul.
I think he stays at a site the agency sent him to.
I got the address.
It's fine.
I quit long ago,
but you asked for my help.
Ms. Oh.
(Inspector Han Seo Kyung)
Do you know Inspector Han Seo Kyung?
- Han Seo Kyung? - Yes.
She came looking for Seo Jae Chul before I did.
When was she here?
It was around last fall, I think.
Last fall...
(Han Seo Kyung)
Isn't that right after Seo Jae Chul was released?
(Father: Han Kyu Tae)
Detective Lee. Do you remember...
the Mukyeong Residential Murder from 12 years ago?
The victim's daughter.
Wasn't her name Han Seo Kyung?
(Mukyeong Police Station)
Oh, thank you very much.
Why did you ask to see me?
Tell me all you know about Inspector Han Seo Kyung.
- Pardon? - You seem to know her well.
I don't know her that...
Okay, then. Well, so...
I heard she joined the force right after high school.
She was a constable,
she volunteered to Serious Crimes,
and became inspector by special promotions only.
You can guess how tenacious she is, right?
What about before then?
Do you not know...
why she skipped university or who she lived with?
Oh, no. I don't know that.
- Okay. You can go. - Okay.
What's that?
Kim Jin Woo's file.
His first record, grievous bodily harm in high school.
I want to look into it.
(High-school Student Assault in Abandoned Factory)
Where should we eat?
The market people say there's a nice place over there.
- Are you okay with that? - I heard about the place.
What happened?
Officer, sir.
What should I do?
Who did this?
Jin Woo's friends from school...
whom you scolded last time.
They came here and...
You're hurt?
That's not the real problem, sir.
Jin Woo disappeared.
He didn't just disappear.
There was a knife over there.
That disappeared as well.
What should I do now?
Jin Woo, what have you done?
Look. You lay him down like this and then...
Are you serious?
I don't think that will work.
You don't do it like that.
- You just have to go... - Hey, hey. Hey.
What's going on?
What?
Can you beat us?
That was really scary.
Did you wet yourself?
You moron. You wet yourself.
I...
begged.
I begged on my knees.
That you'd leave my grandma alone.
A knife?
What's that?
- Will you cut a fish? - And make sashimi.
Hey, watch out.
Hey, run!
Let go.
Let go!
No, Jin Woo. Don't do it.
I get that...
they want to hit and bully me.
But this jerk hurt my grandma.
I'll never forgive him for that, even after I die.
I know how you feel, Jin Woo.
But if you don't let this go now,
you'll live to regret this moment for the rest of your life.
You'll realize much later that...
what you hurt with this knife isn't him but your future.
Are you okay with that?
Is that really what you want?
Jin Woo!
Can you live the rest of your life watching your grandmother...
cry tears of sadness?
(High-school Student Assault in Abandoned Factory)
(Abandoned factory at Seokmyeong-daero 55-gil 8.)
(Stab wound will take 5 weeks to heal.)
In this world, there, on that day,
I wasn't there.
What ripple effect...
did my absence cause?
(Statement)
The scumbag I stabbed.
"Let me live. Don't kill me."
He begged for his life.
That's when I realized it.
That when people hurt the people I love,
I must make them pay no matter what.
In order for me to survive in this awful world...
while protecting the people I love,
this is what I ought to do.
You're wrong.
If you wanted to protect the people you love,
you shouldn't have ruined your life.
Out of all people, you don't get to tell me that.
I know you didn't do it.
You didn't kill Jung Kyung Hee.
So tell me.
Why did you start the fire and buy the meat cutting machine?
- Tell me. - Why would I?
Will you pretend to believe everything I say again this time...
and stab me in the back?
How about this then? Will you believe this too?
Only the locals take the shortcut from the station.
Ms. Jung and I...
took the shortcut because it was the fastest.
And when we came home around the same time...
and when I saw her on my way home, I gave her a ride.
But...
on the day of her disappearance,
when I was on my way home after work...
Gosh, when was that? It was...
around 7:30pm.
That day, when I was taking the shortcut,
I saw a car I had never seen before.
You witnessed the real culprit?
Aren't you curious?
Do you want me to go on?
Isn't that just killing you?
Then, let me get out of here.
Constable Kang, come over here for a second.
Get in. I'm heading to the scene.
Did you eat? I didn't.
- Thank you. - Bye.
Why did you do it?
If you're worried I'm going to cause trouble, there's no need.
It's ancient history.
What pushed you to the point of trying to take your own life?
There's nothing wrong with dying.
"I'd rather die."
"Dying sounds better."
Instead of living life in misery, death would be a better end.
Isn't that true?
Is it because of my father?
What about now?
I have a reason to live...
now.
If you're done, let's go.
Where are we going?
The shortcut near Jung Kyung Hee's house.
Kim Jin Woo...
witnessed the culprit there.
He was lying.
He was just making things up to stall time.
There's only one way to find out.
Hello, this is Han Seo Kyung from Mukyeong Police Station.
Do you have the results of the DNA...
we found on the meat cutting machine?
Only the locals take...
the shortcut from the station.
Ms. Jung and I...
took the shortcut because it was the fastest.
But on the day of her disappearance,
when I was on my way home after work...
That day,
when I was taking the shortcut,
I saw a car I had never seen before.
Let's go to the NFS.
The DNA test results will be out soon.
This is Jung Kyung Hee's cell phone.
I found it here.
Just like your claim if Kim Jin Woo is the culprit,
why would he kidnap Jung Kyung Hee here?
He could have just waited until she got home.
Kim Jin Woo was telling the truth.
He didn't kill Jung Kyung Hee.
He was a witness.
Excuse me.
Can I get a nail clipper?
Why?
I wonder why.
I would ask for one because I want to cut my nails.
Why else would I ask for it?
Give it to him.
(Bloodstain Analysis Report)
(Except for animal's blood, human blood was not detected.)
According to the bloodstain analysis report, it wasn't human blood.
It belonged to an animal.
If it was used at a butcher shop, it was probably cows' or pigs'.
Then,
why did Kim Jin Woo buy the meat cutting machine?
And why did he set the annex on fire?
Aren't you curious?
Do you want me to go on? Isn't that just killing you?
Then, let me get out of here.
Give back the nail clipper.
I don't have it.
Where is it?
Give it back to me now.
Darn it.
I swallowed it.
Take him out when the ambulance comes.
Come on out.
You should have watched me until I returned it to you.
Are you new here?
Don't you know the protocol?
We'll talk after the surgery.
But even if I come back here,
you won't be here.
See you. Don't come out.
Do Won.
We should...
keep in touch every now and then.
We're closer than that.
Call me if you can't sleep at night.
I'll drop by with some beer.
Seo Do Won speaking.
Sir, we have a situation.
Kim Jin Woo broke out of his holding cell.
The entire floor is covered in blood.
My mom is unconscious.
I hear the front door opening.
I go out to the living room,
and I see the culprit running away.
Did you see his face?
His shoes...
I only saw his shoes.
What kind of shoes were they?
The ones I got for my dad...
on his birthday.
I want to kill my dad...
just like how he killed my mom.
I want to hurt him back.
You can kill him.
Have you read this book?
I enjoyed reading this book ever since I was young.
("My Sweet Orange Tree" by Jose Mauro de Vasconcelos)
"Yes, I'm going to kill him."
"I've already started."
"Killing him doesn’t mean..."
"grabbing Buck Jones’s revolver and bang! That’s not it."
"You can kill someone in your heart."
"Stop loving them."
"And one day they die."
It's not just love.
You can do the same with hatred.
As long as you keep hating someone,
that person will never disappear from your heart.
But by doing that, you're only torturing yourself.
So stop feeding your hatred.
That's the best way to kill someone.
Okay?
I didn't know Dong Hyun saw everything.
According to Detective Han,
he kept quiet...
and didn't answer any questions when his father got arrested.
He needs to get treated for a long period of time.
Seo Kyung asked me to help him out,
so I'll do my best to treat him well.
(Murder Suspect Caught Escaping From His Holding Cell on CCTV)
(The Police Are Struggling to Find the Fugitive)
(The suspect of the missing persons case in Mukyeong City was arrested.)
The constable that fainted because of Kim Jin Woo...
has regained his consciousness at the hospital.
And the nail clipper was found inside the holding cell.
Wait. Then why did the metal detector beep?
Well...
He swallowed a coin last night.
A single coin doesn't harm your body.
He had already planned to escape.
If he didn't murder Jung Kyung Hee,
why would he try so hard to escape like this?
Even so, he did commit arson.
You know how ex-convicts...
really hate going back to prison.
Maybe that's why.
Maybe he went crazy because he didn't want to go back to jail.
Then why did he commit arson in the first place?
And why did he buy a meat cutting machine?
What if this is actually...
a different case?
What if he set fire to the annex...
and needed a meat cutting machine...
for a totally different reason?
What if it had nothing to do with Jung Kyung Hee's disappearance?
What does he need to do so urgently that requires him to escape?
If it weren't for you,
my grandma would've still been alive now.
But this jerk hurt my grandma.
I'll never forgive him for that, even after I die.
That when people hurt the people I love,
I must make them pay no matter what.
The person he wanted to protect even by risking his own life.
(We are against the redevelopment!)
(Warning)
Kim Jin Woo was after someone else.
Find out how his grandmother died.
(Warning: This building was legally cleared out...)
(We are against the redevelopment!)
It's not that he didn't use the meat cutting machine.
He just didn't get a chance to use it yet.

(Is it hard to prove someone guilty if there is no body?)
(Myungjin Daily, Wednesday, September 3, 2019)
The reason he committed arson was so he could hide something.
His target.
Who did Kim Jin Woo want to kill?
Did you find anything?
It's nothing much. It's probably something he used for work.
Jin Woo never really talked about himself.
Plus,
he hasn't even been working here for that long.
It's only been about a month.
"A month"?
Wait a minute.
When did he start working here?
Yes, I remember now. This is when he first came.
This is... Right.
It's when we started landscaping for this person.
The client asked us to finish everything by this week...
because he needs to go abroad tomorrow.
So we had to hire someone extra...
so we could finish everything as soon as possible.
Hey, did you look into it?
Yes, sir. According to the merchants,
there were a few problems last year...
when the construction company forced the people here to move out.
We are against the redevelopment!
- We are against it! - We are against it!
Kim Jin Woo's grandmother fell because of an employee.
She was taken to a hospital later,
but as Kim Jin Woo was in prison, her treatment was delayed.
She eventually died.

Get them to come as soon as they can.
(The woman)
What did you do with it?
(The woman)
- What? - There was a serious car crash...
and they can't send backup.
We'll come as soon as we can.
We just arrived and the door's locked.
We called the homeowner, but there's no answer.
What should we do?
No, Jin Woo. Don't do it.
Let go, you lunatic.
Let go. I said let go!
Jin Woo. Calm down.
Did you come here to die?
Fine. I'll kill you first.
No, Jin Woo.
If you do this now, there's no going back!
Quit your nonsense.
Mr. Seo.
The woman's dead.
Who knew Seo Kyung could be so resourceful?
She pretended to be classy and all.
As soon as her father died, she just followed a guy...
and left home.
She was only in high school.
And who do you think made her leave?
Her stepmother who openly abused her when her father died?
Or her stepmother's son who tried to violate a 17-year-old girl?
Jo Young Ran.
Mom. Aren't I pretty?
Do you like those earrings that much?
Yes. They're really pretty.
Mom. I want to put this on too.

then hit their head with a blunt object.
It's him.

(Train)
On the same day at the same time in the same alley,
two different cases occurred.
One was a murder, the other was a hit-and-run.
Can that be a coincidence?
The real killer. He hit my dad as he got away.
We found blood in Jo Young Ran's home.
It was Inspector Han's.
What about her son? She had a son.
I must see for myself.
- If Lee Sung Wook's the killer. - What can you do?
Did you think about it?
Why do you think Inspector Han joined your team?
Why did you tell me this now?
Jin Woo, it's not hard at all to kill someone.
Shall I show you?
