1. Hae Joon revealing that he’s a time-traveler to Dong Shik and his grandfather
Baek Dong Shik (Choi Young Woo) has been itching to determine the thriller of why Hae Joon retains showing at crime scenes for some time now, and discovering him on the scene of Yoo Bum Ryong’s (Jo Yeon Woo’s) homicide is all of the impetus he must deliver him in. Part of him suspects that Hae Joon can’t be the killer, however there’s simply an excessive amount of that’s suspicious about him. Dong Shik rapidly finds that Hae Joon’s credentials are all pretend.

Left with no selection and going through a police pressure that’s more and more keen to shut the case, Hae Joon asks Dong Shik to come back to his house and to deliver his grandfather Principal Yoon Byung Gu (Kim Jong Soo). There, he reveals his crime room with articles from the longer term and that he’s a time-traveler and Byung Gu’s grandson.

But the killer’s nonetheless about, and he’s beginning to get nervous.
2. The killer visiting Soon Ae’s hospital room
Hae Joon and Yoon Young are terrified upon sighting the killer’s signature matchbox in Soon Ae’s room. The be aware inside is completely different, warning her that he’ll see her quickly.

The villagers don’t like listening to about homicide and would relatively fake that it wasn’t taking place than attempt to search a wrongdoer. The police chief, Dong Shik’s boss, is on the cusp of promotion and doesn’t need a failed homicide investigation messing up his probabilities.
Now that Hae Joon’s been freed, the police are decided to make Min Soo the wrongdoer, although he was in jail on the time of Soon Ae’s abduction and near-murder. Their plan is to destroy the matchbox left on the website of Soon Ae’s near-murder and fake that Min Soo was the actual killer and that another person was simply trying a copycat crime with Soon Ae. Dong Shik overhears this and is livid. He steals the proof from the police storage and palms it to Hae Joon, who realizes that Dong Shik wasn’t the incompetent police officer he’d believed him to be.
This complete time, it was the police chief and his lackeys that have been at fault. In the unique timeline, Dong Shik took his life after Min Soo’s conviction for causes that Hae Joon doesn’t know. With the police set on turning Min Soo right into a scapegoat as an alternative of fixing the precise homicide, Hae Joon devises a plan to pressure the police to do their job. The difficulty is, it includes the press.
3. Soon Ae reveals all to the press
Hae Joon has no different choices out there to strain the police into investigating past involving the media. Soon Ae’s father is hesitant to take action because it may provoke the killer even additional, however Soon Ae’s mom stands robust. Their household has already misplaced one daughter to the killer, and each the village and the police don’t appear to care. The police haven’t even posted an officer exterior Soon Ae’s house regardless of the killer having gone so far as to go to her hospital room.

4. Min Soo’s alibi

It’s left to Hae Joon and Yoon Young to seek out what Min Soo was actually as much as in the course of the time of the murders. This implies that Hae Joon has to undertake the not-so-fun process of getting Min Soo out of jail. It’s a tough endeavor as a result of Min Soo genuinely is trash, abusing his sister and in search of to assault Yoon Young. But as long as he’s in jail, the police will attempt to make the proof match him as an alternative of contemplating anybody else. It takes some digging, however Hae Joon and Yoon Young are capable of find hospital information, indicating that Min Soo’s hand was damaged on the time of the homicide, that means that he couldn’t have tied up the victims within the killer’s signature purple rope and killed them.
Hae Joon instantly goes to the media with Min Soo’s alibi, and the police don’t have any selection however to launch Min Soo. And that bodes very badly for Mi Sook. It’s straightforward to really feel unhealthy for her when she comes to select up her brother and trails after him, realizing that it’s throughout for her once they get house. Yoon Young realizes this upon recognizing him, and as a lot as she doesn’t like Mi Sook, she hates Min Soo much more.

5. Hae Joon’s declaration on tv
In the center of all of the kerfuffle over the killer, Hae Joon’s additionally been navigating a private disaster. His dad and mom have met and are courting, and the a part of the unique timeline the place Chung Ah (Jung Shin Hye), his mom, leaves his father is ensuing sooner than he anticipated. Due to the publicized method of the murders and the truth that the killer was utilizing matchboxes from the teashop, Chung Ah is closing up store and leaving city. Hae Joon sees the newborn garments she’s packing and realizes that she’s pregnant with him. Despite his alleged apathy, he cares sufficient to accompany her to the bus terminal as a result of he nonetheless can’t perceive why this lady goes to desert him after start. When he hears her speaking virtually lovingly about how a lot she needed a toddler, he’s much more confused however bears it stoically as she leaves.
At the identical time, in a remaining bid to lure out the killer, Hae Joon declares on stay tv that he noticed the killer’s face throughout Soon Ae’s rescue and would have the ability to acknowledge him if he noticed him once more. Yoon Young is horrified to seek out that Hae Joon didn’t blur out his voice or his face, just about asking the killer to focus on him. That’s precisely Hae Joon’s plan, and he paces his yard, ready for the killer to point out up. Dong Shik’s additionally hiding and watching. Only, the one that exhibits up isn’t the killer. It’s Chung Ah.
Hae Joon doesn’t perceive why she’s right here or how she appears to know that he was mendacity on tv. But all of it comes collectively when she begs him to go away together with her as a result of that man isn’t who she thought he was. Hae Joon’s frozen as his mom continues, saying that she realized it after listening to in regards to the methodology of homicide: the matchboxes, the rope, and that every one of them needed to do with her. She figured it out, and that’s why she needed to depart with out telling the daddy of her youngster. Because the daddy of her youngster is the killer.
Right at that second, Yoon Yeon Woo (Jeon Jae Kyung), Hae Joon’s father and the person who’s been fixing up his time-travel automotive, seems on the scene.

But proper now, it’s trying more and more probably that Yeon Woo’s going to kill him and toss his physique sooner or later, which is the place 2021 Hae Joon finds his corpse, that means this cycle begins over again.
