The ending captures the complex emotions of Tae-soo, who takes his breath away due to an unexpected shock for Han Seok-gyu.
The broadcast that day began with Harbin calmly explaining his alibi to the detectives who came to his house. Ha-bin said that he never went to the murder scene and that Song Min-ah (Han Su-ah) stole his cell phone. She also revealed that she was with her boyfriend on the day of the incident. The governor did not believe that and questioned him. Ha-bin said, “Do you believe other people’s words that I stole it, but what I said seems to be a lie?” and “Every time someone I know dies, I wonder what kind of person I am thinking? ”, prompting Tae-soo’s self-deprecation.
Tae-soo confirmed his daughter’s alibi with his own eyes. I visited the school, met my boyfriend Lee Soo-hyun, and watched CCTV footage. Between a strong alibi and suspicious circumstances, Tae-soo decided to believe his daughter’s words. At that time, Habin proposed to move, saying that it was difficult to live in the house where he lived with his dead mother. The governor decided to withdraw from the study and move for the sake of his daughter. This is because he felt that his suspicions might have spoiled the investigation.
But Harbin’s alibi was false. It was also revealed that in addition to her boyfriend, Lee Soo-hyun, she had a friend with the same name, Lee Soo-hyun, since her freshman year. The woman, Lee Soo-hyeon, had dropped out of school and ran away from home. The ruler’s suspicion flamed again. Tae-soo secretly changed and hid the key ring of the only evidence bag he knew Ha-bin had destroyed, and submitted it to the forensic team. Ha-bin smiled meaningfully when Tae-soo said he would catch the real culprit.
It was revealed, behind Habin’s smile, that there was a plan to interfere with his father’s investigation, giving him goosebumps. Before the investigation of Choi Young-min (played by Kim Jeong-jin), who was arrested as a suspect, Tae-soo was investigated by the investigation team due to a tip about conduct A mysterious bundle of money was found in the trunk of Tae-soo’s car. The governor had to withdraw his hands from the investigation. Tae-soo remembered that Ha-bin was sitting in the passenger seat first thing in the morning, asking for a ride, and he thought that Ha-bin had arranged it by giving a false statement.
The devastated ruler couldn’t help but fall into shock again. Two pieces of evidence were found in the key ring of Harbin’s bag. One of them is that it matches the evidence from the scene of a murder case without a body where Song Min-ah was found as the victim, and newly discovered evidence was added. DNA from a corpse that died a year ago was found on the main ring of the bag. The two murder cases were connected, and there was even the possibility of serial murder. The Tae-soo was struck by a surprising and unexpected reality. With Oh Jeong-hwan (played by Yoon Kyung-ho) asking where the key ring of the bag came from, Tae-soo was shown in despair.
The suspicious revelations at Harbin added to the suspicion. Habin took the bag of money that Song Minah was carrying, which Youngmin was looking for, from the underground storage room. Then, he looked at Choi Young-min, who had come out of the police station, as if he had been waiting, and smiled. He raised suspicions about Habin’s relationship with Youngmin and what on earth he was up to.
