"Wake up, my dear." The familiar dark voice calls out for her. She snaps her eyes open and sees a red masked man in front of her. Before she can scream, he covers her mouth and whispers, "If you want your husband to live, don't make a sound."
Ahn Hana widens her eyes in shock. Where is Jung Kwang Soo? He was sleeping beside her.
Loud noises wake him up. Jung Kwang-soo holds his head in his hands. He feels drowsy. His vision starts to clear up. Did he doze off? He looks at the half-finished bottle of the sweetened milk. He remembers waking up at midnight and coming out of the bedroom to get something to drink. All of a sudden, he felt a blow on the back of his head.Someone is trying to b
Six months later after Ahn Hana's disappearance:Eun Min Ah watches Do Sejin leaves his house. She runs to catch him. He moves sideways before she can grab his hand. She falls on the concrete, knees scraped. "Do Sejin, don't be this way."He looks down at her coldly. "I don't have time for this."She clutches her bulging belly under her thick coat. "I am pregnant with your child. How could you do this to me? What if I lose the baby?Both of them graduated from the university and cleared the bar exam. Do Sejin doesn’t live with his parents. He has moved closer to the law firm where he interned once. "I don't believe that it is mine," He tells her sternly. "I have always been careful with you.""I told you that I made holes in those condoms when we did it," She stands up and yells. "It's yours.""You have refused the paternity test. I am refusing this child." He doesn't want to be bothered by her anymore. As he walks past her, he tells her, "Besides that, even if you were pregnant with
Her parents' house, abandoned and dusty, shows an unforgettable story of a happy family. He walks around the house until he finds a wall full of her photographs.There is a picture of her with Ji-Won and a white furry dog. She is grinning ear to ear and pulling up Ji-Won's ponytail with her right hand. The dog is licking her chin in the picture. Ahn Hana looks happy here.In another picture, she is standing between her parents with a high school diploma. They are looking at her proudly. Her parents took pictures of every stage of her life until she went to university. Birthdays. Many pictures with family and friends. Bicycle rides. Pouting. Grinning. Angry. Puffy cheeks. Reading her father's cases. Dozing off on the dinner table. Many moments.Ahn Hana seems like a different person before her parents were murdered.In the previous year, Do Sejin had visited it a lot of time to find any clue. But he still feels that he will find something here. Anything. A clue about that man.That man
[Flashback]He washes away the blood. He dries the water from her skin. He lays her down and puts on the soothing ointment on her back and thighs. He pats her head and sings her a lullaby. She finally falls asleep.At dawn, she opens her eyes. She touches her belly. Haneul. She gets up. Her back feels numb. She finds clothes and some cash in the wardrobe. She takes only enough cash that Jung Kwang Soo won't notice. She wears his old faded clothes. She walks out of the bedroom and finds Jung Kwang-soon on the couch, unconscious. Before she leaves, she doesn't forget to take the knife.The guards are in the same condition as Jung Kwang Soo. She knows that the cameras aren't working. She is taking a risk. If she meets the killer on the way, she doesn't know what will happen to her. She is just following her instinct. A blind bet on her luck.She makes it to the road. She takes the first bus that she finds. Under the layers of men's clothes, she looks like a little runaway from home. She c
The blinding light outside the prison feels refreshing. However, no light in the world can dismiss the darkness in her eyes. As she walks toward the car, the memories of that day return to her mind. Her tranquil face doesn't waver as she gets into the car. She's not drenched in someone else's urine this time.She doesn't notice the eyes that seem to be following her everywhere. The person follows her car. The distance between them is long enough that she doesn't think much of it. Ahn Hana makes a quick decision and decides to visit the hospital first. She should see the victim with her eyes and then, decide whether this defendant can be saved or not.After an hour, her car stops in front of the hospital. A bike comes to halt a little behind the car. The person gets down and takes off his helmet. He wipes his sweat from his forehead. After two minutes, he gets on his bike away and leaves the vicinity.Ahn Hana has realized that she is being watched, but she doesn’t react. After a quick
Ahn Hana doesn’t stay in the apartment. She dresses up and leaves it in the middle of the night.Walking alone into the quiet night, she doesn't feel any terror. Her heart only feels emptiness. She isn't afraid of death. She finds the cold street where the girl was killed and the message was sent to her. There is a wite magnolia flower where Seol Ah died. She picks up the flower and stares at it. The man in the dark clothes marches toward her silently.Her eyes are fixed on the white magnolia flower. Sensing the man behind her, she gets up silently. She doesn't close her eyes. The white magnolia flower is crushed in her hand. The man lifts his left hand."No!" Do Sejin grabs the hand that is carrying a knife. “You asshole! I will kill you today!”The man struggles to get free.Ahn Hana turns around and looks at both men. She notices that the masked man is shorter than Do Sejin. She purses her lips. He's not him. Disappointed, she calls the police.The man kicks Do Sejin’s shin. Do S
He puts down the picture of the magnolia flower on the table. There are other pictures of the people connected to the Magnolia killer committed - the 100 days murders, Baek Han Sol, Ahn Hana, and even Do Sejin. He writes about his latest observation in his notebook."What are you doing?" Im Jihoon's wife comes into the room. It's the middle of the night. Her husband usually works at night like this. "Are you still into that murder case?""She has returned." He taps Ahn Hana's photo. “I am sure that the killer will be active again."She sighs loudly. "Jihoon Oppa, you should ditch it. You got criticized by everyone because of the case. Your obsession isn't healthy. Let others deal with it."He hasn’t been able to find the killer in a year. There is a certain pressure to find the killer because of Do Seol Ah’s father. There hasn’t been any strong lead since Ahn Hana’s disappearance.Ahn Hana’s return is a hope. Im Jihoon smiles at his wife with tired eyes. "I will get promoted if I find
Next day, Ahn Hana is in her office. There are piles of cases, but she's not interested. Her thoughts are blurry. She keeps thinking about her past. Who could it be? Her magnolia lover knows her so well. She is back, but he hasn't come to meet her once. Is it because she is staying with Do Sejin or is it because he is mad at her for leaving him?She has to make him app
