Forest of Secrets (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
The western part of the prosecutor's office has been contacted by Park Moo-sung, who was the sponsor of his colleagues' testimony, to inform him of the corruption of the prosecutors. But he is stabbed by a knife and is dead.
SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
As you can see, the patient's brain is
more developed than an average person's.
Therefore, he is suffering from
even the smallest sounds.
That is also a very sensitive
area that controls emotions.
To reduce this pain, the only solution
is to perform a partial lobotomy.
As a post-surgical aftereffect,
he may suffer from extreme mood swings
or may not feel any emotions at all.
Hwang Shi Mok.
Do your ears still hurt
after the surgery on your brain?
No.
Have you gotten angry
recently? Or annoyed?
No.
Have you felt good,
or smiled a big smile recently?
No.
What's the one thing you've
been wanting to eat the most?
What do you like?
Nothing, really.
What about before?
You didn't have any favorites before?
How were you before the surgery?
Are you very different now?
Mr. Hwang Shi Mok is almost
incapable of feeling any emotions.
We'll have to keep monitoring him
but it's possible that he'll experience
other side effects or aftereffects.
- What are you doing?
- Why did you just stop there?
- Move your car!
- Get out of the way!
- Move it!
- Move!
[Episode 1]
My name is Park Moo Sung.
Nice you meet you.
[CEO Park Moo Sung]
[Sanghwa Construction]
Come to my house. I have something
to discuss with you privately.
75-4.
74-5.
76.
Excuse me. Where is 75-3?
What is it?
Isn't Mr. Park Moo Sung home?
I don't know anyone by that name.
That's your house, isn't it? 75-3?
No, it's not. Please leave.
Oh, my legs!
Oh my.
I was going to give these to my Moo Sung.
I'm not a debt collector.
A debt collector? Why would
I be scared of a debt collector?
It won't be long before
your house is gone, too.
Let us go.
You're really not going to
see him because of money, right?
I'm not owed money,
but I am laden with tons of debt.
Are you my Moo Sung's junior, then?
No, I'm not.
There was a party at my
younger sibling's place.
I hurried to pack some food away
because I figured it'd be all gone
if I waited until it was over.
Moo Sung wouldn't eat at all
if it weren't for me.
Here it is.
You're really not a
debt collector, right?
He doesn't have any money anymore.
Oh, oh! That child must be sleeping.
He hasn't been able to
sleep at night lately, you see.
Huh? Why is this open?
Please wait outside.
Wait...
Open the door!
His arm was scratched with a knife
and the stab wound
in his side is shallow.
As for his neck...
that's where the fatal wound was.
Three contusions.
Culprit is right-handed.
Since he was stabbed three times,
that means the culprit resented him.
Maybe he just stabbed him
without thinking much about it?
Don't you dare look down on me.
Your lives are in my hands, you got that?
I'm at the point where
I'm capable of anything.
Make sure you tell him this.
I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
I'm not going down alone.
With a knife from this very home.
The fact that the criminal came in
here without a weapon means...
[It May Be Dark, But Wake Up]
I'd like to report a murder incident.
Huam-dong, Sevit-ro, 72-3.
I need the scene cordoned off.
The victim has passed away.
There is also an elderly person
in her 70s needing protection
so please send an ambulance over.
And what is your name?
[It May Be Dark, But Wake Up]
[Hangang Yongsan Cable TV]
Hello, this is the
Yongsan Cable TV Service Center...
Did you receive a service request for
Mr. Park Moo Sung's home, Huam-dong 72-3?
Is this Mr. Park Moo Sung himself?
What time was the
repairman supposed to come?
Just a moment.
Oh, they were supposed to get
there by two. Are they not there yet?
Please give me the name
and address of that repairman.
Valued Customer, we will
call the repairman, and...
I am Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok of Unit 3
at the Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
The name and address of that repairman?
- What?
- He's a suspect for a murder incident.
- His name and address, quickly.
- Oh, just a moment.
His name is Kang Jin Seop,
and his address is...
Saechang-ro, House 61.
Please send a photo of him to
the phone number I'm about to give you.
Is he... dead?
He has expired.
Hey, you guys take a look
around the area first.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Excuse me!
This is the police!
Is anyone in there?
Excuse me!
Damn it. Excuse me!
You made a report, right?
We're the police.
Please escort that person away.
Yes, sir.
There is one body and the
murder weapon is on the floor.
What? But who are you?
Are you all right?
I'm here from the
Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
Where's the forensics team?
Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office?
- Are you a prosecutor, then?
- Ma'am!
Ma'am! Are you all right, ma'am?
Excuse me!
Pardon me.
Hey! Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Hey, stop him! Stop him!
- Who is he?
- Just stop him first!
Stop!
I told you to stop! Can't you hear me?
Huh?
Hey!
Ugh, damn it.
Oh yeah? Well, then...
That punk.
Yeah, come in.
This is CEO Park.
He's my acquaintance.
I'm Park Moo Sung.
Nice to meet you,
Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok.
Yes, nice to meet you.
Take a seat.
I talked you up a bit to CEO Park,
and he said that he must meet you.
I've heard quite a lot about you
from Prosecutor Seo.
Oh, I'll be right back.
I have to make a call.
I've been wanting to formally
introduce myself to you for a while.
I see.
[CEO Park Moo Sung]
[Sanghwa Construction]
I wanted to be of help to you a bit
since you do such important work.
Don't feel pressured, and just
use it as you please for a good cause.
0474. 0474. Stop your car.
[File Received:
Kang Jin Seop Resume]
0474. 0474. Stop your car.
Get out.
I'm Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok of Unit 3
at Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
Why were you running away then,
if you're a prosecutor?
His name is Kang Jin Seop.
He's a suspect.
How do you know?
How about you turn off that siren now?
You'll scare the real criminals.
I asked you how you know!
Was the victim your relative?
Where are you headed?
Saechang-ro, 61.
Turn off the siren, yeah?
[Hangang Yongsan Cable TV]
Hey!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- What was that?
- What's going on?
- Hey!
- What the hell!
Damn it!
- Whoa!
- Hey!
Whoa! What the heck?
Damn it!
- Huh?
- What's going on?
Oh, damn it!
Damn it.
As per Article 3 of the Act on the
Performance of Duties by Police Officers
you are hereby under arrest
for obstruction of justice.
You have the right to an attorney,
and the right to remain silent.
Is this everything that he sold here?
Yes, this is everything.
I paid him for this, though,
so what about my money?
We'll return it to you later.
Hey, wait! Where are you going?
Where are you going? Wait up!
When are you going to give it back?
Ugh, this guy. Seriously?
Where did they go?
Oh! Hey!
Seriously...
Ow, this hurts...
[Yongsan Police Station]
Whoa!
You had your suspect taken from you?
I apologize.
What could you have done when a
prosecutor placed him under arrest?
It's not like this will destroy our case.
If you saw the house,
you'd find it ridiculous.
I have no idea how he knew
there was anything worth stealing.
So he went in saying he'd fix his TV?
But why was that prosecutor
there at the time?
I'll go and find that out
right now, all right?
I have to see the suspect, too.
Yeah, sure. Get going.
Yes, sir.
Man, I wish someone would take
some of my cases off my hands.
What's with her?
She's only a first year.
Why, you little bastard...
Hello?
A laptop?
I heard that you got snubbed
by some prosecutor.
What kind of guy would
dare to cross our lieutenant?
This guy, right here.
I'm on my way to screw him over back.
Wow, I can't tell if he's a
prosecutor or a heinous criminal.
That drawing is a bit...
Hey, excuse me!
He wants you to go to the hospital first.
Team Leader said that?
Why? Did that granny wake up?
Um, yes, yes. So I'll go to the
Prosecutor's Office instead.
No, I'll go.
No, no, I'll go. Yes.
You've been working
together for two months
but he still talks like that.
Would it kill him to be
a little more polite? Huh?
Officer Jang.
I'm gonna be on my way now!
Oh, yes, yes, please go,
Lieutenant Han. Yes.
- I'm off.
- Have a safe trip...
[Office: Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
Oh my. Prosecutor, your face...
How did that happen?
Was it this guy?
Are you all right, sir?
- I'm sure we have some medication...
- I'm fine.
Later, Prosecutor Young.
But you, please come here.
Yes.
You have the right to remain silent.
Here, I've done the homework for you.
I picked that stuff up from his yard.
I didn't even go into the house.
Lift up your feet.
Happy now?
What are you...
It... it wasn't me!
If you'd been planning this,
you would've brought a weapon
and you would've kept your shoes on.
But you went because of his TV,
and he happened to be alone
and a knife just happened
to be within your reach.
You just lost it for a minute,
didn't you?
Involuntary manslaughter.
No! He was already dead
when I got there!
I was leaving because I was so shocked
but right next to him were
necklaces and things like that, so...
I know I shouldn't have.
Something just came over me!
But that's really all there is to it.
I didn't kill him.
How did you get into the house, then?
They opened the door for me
from the inside. That's how.
- Who?
- How should I know?
You said he was already dead when
you went in and nobody else was there.
Those words came out
of your own mouth, Mr. Kang.
The victim's only relatives
are his mother and son.
His son is away at the army,
and his mother was out.
So if the only person who was
at home was already dead
who opened the door for you?
Did a ghost open it for you?
The door was opened from the
inside when I rang the doorbell.
Oh... oh!
That guy must be the culprit!
The guy who was inside!
Shouldn't you go after him?
So you're saying that the criminal
was so kind as to open the door
for someone who came by
after the murder?
Yes! I had to go in for them to frame me!
But you didn't go in, remember?
You picked that stuff up in the yard.
I just said that because
you didn't believe me!
Did you hide your criminal history
and pick a job where you'd be going
into people's homes on purpose?
Geez, this is driving me crazy!
Not all people with a
criminal history kill people!
The house was already
a mess when I got there!
Please believe me!
What... is this?
He's not alarmed. He's confused.
What is this?
He's not pretending not to know them.
He's truly never seen them before.
[Office: Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Chang Joon]
Is there a problem?
Park Moo Sung.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm still investigating...
He's dead.
What?
CEO Park is dead.
When? And how?
A murder robbery.
Pardon?
The criminal is here now.
He was caught already?
Congratulations, Deputy Chief.
Watch your tongue.
My apologies.
But isn't it better if this is
considered a murder robbery?
Hwang Shi Mok is the one
who discovered the body first
and the one who
apprehended the criminal.
Why him, of all people?
It's not him, "of all people,"
or even a coincidence.
The two of them were in cahoots.
Prosecutor Hwang would've
prosecuted us, and not the culprit
if CEO Park hadn't been killed.
What if he told everything to
Prosecutor Hwang before he died?
What would he have to tell him?
It's not we asked for cars or
houses, like other people.
All we did was eat a
couple of meals with him.
The dead can't speak.
The most incriminating proof
has now disappeared.
Not even Hwang Shi Mok can do anything
without the relevant party present.
You must not know him very well, sir.
He's like a poisonous snake.
He'll definitely try to use this
to delve deeper into the secrets.
Deputy Chief.
Leave this to me. I will...
Hand it over to Young Eun Soo.
You mean Prosecutor Hwang's
junior prosecutor?
She'll be even worse!
It's about time she got promoted, anyway.
It'll be much easier to manipulate
her than Hwang Shi Mok.
But for goodness' sake, keep a good
eye on what's happening this time.
This is too blatantly obvious, though.
There's no way Prosecutor Hwang doesn't
suspect that we're trying to remove him.
We're already being too
obvious about our intentions.
He may end up kicking us both out
of the law profession forever.
So I'll take on this case, and...
You think Hwang Shi Mok is an idiot?
You think he'd be okay with
entrusting a mouse to a cat?
Why am I the cat?
You're really going to play dumb
in front of me, of all people?
Who was it that CEO Park
despised most of all, again?
They said they were looking for people
to work in a family-like environment.
Even former convicts have
to make ends meet, after all.
I only did it in order to make a living.
It was wrong of me to hide
my criminal history, yes.
But they said that we'd be like family.
But that was a bunch of nonsense.
Never mind eating,
I barely even have time to pee.
They made me write a statement because
my customer satisfaction rate was low
and they really hound me if
I stay in one place for too long.
I also have to make sales,
and I have no weekends.
They work me hard on
Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you know how much we're paid,
despite being worked so hard?
It's so bad that
I'm backed up on my rent!
You're behind on your rent,
and I bet that you have debts, too.
That's definitely a reasonable motive.
Please, Prosecutor!
Prosecutor, I...
I'd really made up my mind
to live a proper life, okay?
I'm a father. I have a child!
And as for the mother...
all she did was give birth.
She's completely out of the picture!
I have to care for the child!
If I don't, nobody else will!
You know, I'd really made up my mind
to just raise this one child well.
Yes, I know it was wrong of me to be
so greedy even when I saw a dead body.
But it wasn't me.
It really wasn't me!
How could a human being
kill another human being?
Let's move him to the detention center.
- Prosecutor! Prosecutor!
- What should he be charged with?
I'll take care of that later.
I'm telling you, I'm innocent!
Why won't you believe me?
You're innocent, eh?
Even if what you're saying is true
you reached for his money first,
even as he bled to death before you.
- But...
- You call that being innocent?
You think that just anyone
is capable of that?
I may rob people,
but I don't kill people!
It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Prosecutor, it wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Oh, yes.
Yes, I understand.
Thank you. I will work hard.
Congratulations!
How is it that not a single one of
these guys ever admits that it was them?
Later on, it's always
revealed that they did it!
- Sir.
- Yeah?
Prosecutor Young is a
full-fledged prosecutor now.
Really? It's already been six months?
Wow, time sure flies!
Congratulations... Madam Young!
It's all thanks to you.
Do DNA testing on this.
It's evidence.
This will be the
last time I do this, too.
Call and get the victim's
social security number
and access to his bank account.
What do you mean, "last time"?
Prosecutor Young was promoted
and is no longer a junior prosecutor.
Oh, really? Congrats.
Your first case is important.
Which one were you assigned?
They told me to work on the normal
criminal cases that came in today
excluding the economic and
political crime-related ones.
Oh, then you'll have to
see that guy from before again.
Shall I write a report first?
No, you can't.
Pardon?
Don't touch it.
I'll be going now.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Prosecutor!
Prosecutor! Why not?
You just can't.
Is it because you don't trust me?
Yeah.
What happened? Is this about
the murder case from today?
The one where that person named
Park Moo Sung, or whatever, died?
See, I told you that you met the most
difficult top-of-his-class guy ever.
Isn't he greedy?
He said he wouldn't hand
the case over to you, right?
I haven't heard about
what kind of case this is yet.
But it was a murder case, I see.
Let's have a cup of coffee.
Come with me.
Prosecutor Hwang!
Nice to meet you again.
I'm Kim Soo Chan from
Yongsan Police Station.
Oh, I see.
Wait, wait.
You did that last time, too.
You can't do this to me again.
Are you here to see me?
We also have people to
report to, you see.
- So...
- Go ahead, then.
Um...
How did you know that he was
the suspect and to pursue him?
I saw the TV repairman who was
supposed to fix the victim's TV
fleeing near the scene.
So, how did you know
that he'd come to fix the TV?
An unemployed guy in his 50s who
didn't have a single book in his room
was so bored that he went into
his son's room to get a book.
And because of my hunch, I turned
on the TV which was indeed broken.
Oh...
And why did you go to
the scene of the crime?
He's someone I'm acquainted to.
What kind of relationship did you have
with the victim, Park Moo Sung?
We're just personally acquainted.
What was your first impression
of Mr. Park Moo Sung?
What? First impression?
Why do you want to know my
first impression of a dead person?
Please give me a call
if you have any other questions.
Are you going to prosecute him?
Of course.
Yes, of course you need to.
The question is,
what should I charge him with?
[Taxi]
No! He was already dead
when I got there!
Who was that, damn it?
Why, you little...
Don't you dare go anywhere!
What the hell are you doing?
I'd appreciate it if you'd
cooperate with my investigation.
It's true that I left the car
here all day today.
But what else could possibly be here
except footage of the road?
It's pretty expensive to buy a new one.
I'll give it right back.
Just a moment.
Hey, wait! My memory card!
Wait! My memory card!
That little... ugh!
- Good work today!
- Good work today.
[Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
[Report Regarding the
Murder of Park Moo Sung]
We just got the report from the
police, so I was just... I'm sorry.
Do you think that
you'll be able to do it?
Yes, just leave it to me.
And how will you win the case?
Will I be going to court myself, as well?
Of course, a court prosecutor
will be going to court.
The evidence is quite decisive.
The items stolen have been
confirmed to be the victim's mother's
and the blood on the suspect's socks
is the victim's, as well.
What about the fingerprints
on the weapon?
There aren't any, except for
the victim's and his mother's.
The suspect, Kang Jin Seop,
said that he didn't kill Park Moo Sung
but that he went to the scene after
the murder and only stole the valuables.
He was ordered to go
there to repair the TV
so he didn't go there intending
to commit murder from the start.
What do you make of this?
Even if he may have been
ordered to go there
the fact that he broke
into the home by force
means that he intended to
commit a crime, doesn't it?
Who said that he forced
his way in there?
According to the victim's mother,
the victim was home alone
and they always locked the door
because of debt collectors.
So how else would he have
gotten into the house?
He's saying that the true culprit
lured him in there to frame him.
That makes no sense.
Are you going to say that
in front of the judge, too?
Do something about that tongue of yours.
I apologize.
What do you think would be the one
thing that could disprove that statement?
Decisive evidence proving that
the victim was alive at that time.
But do you think such a thing exists?
It's not like they have CCTV
cameras installed in their house.
What's that?
Where did you get this?
This does prove that he didn't
break into the house using force.
But this doesn't prove that the
victim was alive at this time.
Why not?
What the suspect said about
the true culprit letting him in
so that he could frame him
is a convincing argument.
I thought you said that makes no sense.
And I'm sure the defense attorney
will cling to that point.
Yeah.
Look here.
When you have debt collectors after you
you develop a habit of secretly checking
who it is before you open the gate.
So the suspect is the culprit, then.
Prosecutor.
Yeah, you should head home now.
Why? I need that for the trial.
It's decisive evidence.
Tomorrow.
Be sure to give it to me tomorrow.
2 minutes and 35 seconds.
It wasn't me.
It really wasn't me!
How could a human being
kill another human being?
I may steal,
but I'd never kill someone!
Yes, I'm from the fourth floor
Criminal Affairs Unit.
I'm Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok.
I'll send you a video file now,
so please analyze it for me.
The analysis has been completed, right?
That's the original, right?
Oh, I heard that you're the
prosecutor for that one case?
Your debut in court is coming up,
so you must be nervous.
I'm already confident that
I will win, though.
What's that?
Evidence that the suspect won't
be able to make any excuses for.
All I need to do is
register it as evidence.
Young Eun Soo.
This is your one and only debut case,
so you have to end it with a bang.
Want me to help you achieve a huge
win by incapacitating the defense?
Why would you include something
like this in the evidence now?
Use this as a part of
your big finale later.
That raiseth me...
Still all my song shall be
nearer, my God, to Thee.
Amen.
Oh, it's all right.
Thank you.
This is my grandson.
Oh!
The one who was away at the army.
It must be so difficult.
Yes.
Well, then...
[Two months later]
Is the verdict for that murder case
being announced today?
[10:00 a.m. Trial
Name of Defendant: Kang - Seop]
[Charges: Larceny and murder
Prosecutor: Young Eun Soo]
[Courthouse Number 407]
Then we went to the jeweler's
to retrieve the evidence.
After that, I personally
confirmed that the stolen items
belonged to the victim's mother.
That doesn't mean that he stole the items
and then committed the murder, correct?
But at the scene of the crime...
Please say "yes" or "no."
He didn't commit the murder
while he was stealing, correct?
No.
Thank you. No further questions.
You may return to your seat, Witness.
- Huh?
- What is this?
- That crazy man!
- What is going on?
Judge, I would like to register
a new piece of evidence.
I did not receive word of this!
We just finished
analyzing this ourselves.
But this is quite an important piece of
evidence that will influence this trial.
Both sides, please come forth.
The defendant has continuously stated
that he entered the scene of the crime
after the murder had occurred
in order to prove his innocence.
Your Honor, please take a look
at this video footage.
That's...
This is footage from a dash cam
acquired near the scene
which was undergoing
analysis until last night.
Last... night?
This is footage of the defendant arriving
at the scene on the day of the incident.
Yes, that's me. Yes. Yes.
As the defendant rings the doorbell
and waits for the door to be opened...
Here.
Please take a look right here.
- What is this?
- What's going on?
As you can see, the victim was
alive before the suspect entered.
- What is this?
- What's going on?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- To check for a potential third party
we checked the footage up
to 12 hours before the victim's death.
But there was nobody else who had
entered the scene besides the defendant.
But...
Please understand that we
could not present this sooner
due to the need to check
the footage, Your Honor.
Does the defense have anything to add?
No. No, no...
No, I do not.
No, it wasn't me, Attorney!
It wasn't me! This is all a lie!
That wasn't me! This is all a lie!
It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
Be quiet!
It wasn't me! I didn't kill him!
Why are you lying?
It wasn't me! Really!
Attorney, please!
Please, talk to them! Please!
Please, I didn't kill him! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me! Why are you doing this?
I didn't kill him, Attorney!
It wasn't me!
Why are you doing this?
I didn't do it!
It wasn't me!
I didn't kill him, Attorney!
To the defendant, who denied his crime
in the face of definitive evidence
and showed no remorse for his crime
I give a sentence of 22 years in jail.
Ma'am. You came here alone?
Why didn't your grandson come with you?
Just a moment.
Yes. Oh, it's over.
Where?
Again?
No, I'll go. Yes.
Oh, geez.
Oh... oh.
Are you, by any chance...
Yes, Hwang Shi Mok!
Yeah, Shi Mok.
Hey, nice to see you again, friend!
Wow, it's been so long!
About 20 years?
Back then, you didn't
even say a word, and...
Wow, so you became
a prosecutor, you punk?
Oh yeah, you were always
really good at studying.
You seem to be a part of
the industry as well.
Oh, not really. I'm just a
director at a small firm.
Mr. Kim Jung Bon.
Oh, yes!
Oh, I have to go. Sorry.
Let's grab a drink sometime.
Hey, it was really good to see you!
"Your Honor, I would like to
register a new piece of evidence."
You did great.
I think it was good to save it for
the end like you said, Senior.
This is what you call "know-how."
Even trials need a narrative.
What, when, how, bam!
And do a huge reveal!
I'll be sure to repay you
for your kindness.
Prosecutor Hwang.
Would it kill you to
congratulate her a little?
After all, this is your
junior's first win...
Hey, your senior is talking to you.
Oh, geez!
Prosecutor Seo helped me a lot,
saying that my debut was important.
The evidence was quite decisive,
so I just asked him for some advice.
Don't go learning things like that first.
It doesn't matter as
long as I win, does it?
It's not like it was fabricated evidence.
And I won, at any rate.
At any rate.
Honey!
- Honey!
- Sweetie!
- Honey! Honey!
- Sweetie! Sweetie!
The baby. The baby.
Min Ji! Min Ji!
Let go of me! Let go!
Let me go, please!
Just for a bit, please!
- What will you do about our child?
- Just for a bit, please!
- Honey... Honey!
- Oh, Min Ji!
Daddy is sorry, Min Ji!
Daddy is sorry!
- I'm sorry!
- Wait!
- Wait, please! My baby!
- Just a moment, please!
Min Ji!
- Oh... what am I supposed to do now?
- Honey! Min Ji!
- What do I do now?
- Min Ji!
Honey! Oh, what'll I do?
What'll I do? Honey! Honey!
Honey!
I miss him.
He must have been so scared.
He must have been in so much pain.
I... I should have been by his side.
I wanted to go with him.
I should have gone with him.
Let's go together, Shi Mok.
[Academic Achievement Award]
[Hwang Shi Mok, Third Grade]
Let's die together. You and Mommy.
Me... and you.
Let's just die together.
I'm sorry, Mom!
I won't do it again, Mom!
I can't do this anymore...
Mom. Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Just this once.
Oh yeah. Was the person
you saw before your friend?
Yes. He was my friend in middle school.
I see.
[Report Regarding the
Murder of Park Moo Sung]
They say that the rich can survive for
up to three years after losing everything
but he was holding on tight
to his expensive goods, huh?
This is why the situation
got so much worse.
Apparently, this was all he had
after he sold everything else.
How sad.
Why did you go there on that day?
You're only asking me that now?
Go ahead.
The victim, Park Moo Sung, used all
of his connections to avoid bankruptcy.
And he soon found out that connections
forged with money disappear too.
I'm sure he was confident that
he'd be able to get back onto his feet
if he weren't caught for embezzlement.
What a cocky, impudent man.
To think that he'd think of Korea's
prosecutors as his personal lackeys...
I understand why he
could have thought that, though.
So, what's your verdict?
This is my verdict.
It was a mere robbery and murder
that involved a third party.
What do you mean, a third party?
That almost sounds as if you're implying
that another person was involved.
Someone he'd be able to bury alive
just by opening his mouth.
Make sure you tell the deputy chief
that I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
There are people who
were being blackmailed.
Park Moo Sung, who failed
to reap what he'd sowed
threatened to release evidence of
all the people he'd wined and dined.
So, did you join forces with CEO Park
to take down that other person?
To get rid of all of your co-workers
who'd been involved in corruption?
Since you're Prosecutor Hwang,
who is the only virtuous one?
One can always gouge out
the rotten parts.
But for the past eight years
I've witnessed that same gouged-out spot
becoming rotten again and again.
Because there is no group in Korea
that will use their left hand
to cut off their right, so to speak.
Only the people with high hopes
end up getting hurt in the end.
And that's why CEO Park
ended up getting hurt.
And the person who was blackmailed
used a former convict to kill him.
You're not as great as I thought
you were, Hwang Shi Mok.
I thought you had a bit
more potential, too.
They broke someone's TV on purpose
and had a repairman who was a former
convict sent to his home on purpose.
It isn't like that person
to be so sloppy.
Just how would that person
operate, then, exactly?
When Kang Jin Seop insisted that
Park Moo Sung had already been dead
I thought that he may
have been telling the truth.
The true culprit was someone else.
That culprit killed Park Moo Sung and
tried to get rid of the evidence he had.
And the reason why
everything was on the floor
was because the entire
house was searched.
But the one who disproved
that hypothesis was you.
Yes, that's right.
So you took care of all
the loose ends neatly, eh?
You're competent and trustworthy.
I'm sure your insides
must be feeling terrible.
Here, go and buy yourself
a bowl of hangover soup.
I'll do that, then.
CEO Park told me himself...
that he had joined forces
with Hwang Shi Mok.
And that he wouldn't shed even
a drop of blood even if he were stabbed
so I should hurry and
help him before he struck.
Shi Mok. Don't get it twisted.
It wasn't because he trusted you.
It was to rub it in my face.
So the fact that you still asked me
why I went there that day...
was because you were curious about
just how much I knew, wasn't it?
That Park Moo Sung was blackmailing you.
That he could bury you
alive in a heartbeat.
What that was about
and whether or not I knew.
So?
I'll enjoy the soup.
What's with this neighborhood?
Is it haunted, or something?
Oh, oh man. How terrible.
It seems like it's been a while, too.
I do feel bad for our Happy
but we thought Happy ran away!
But, seeing as how they did this, maybe
they killed him because he was barking?
Because a robber broke in?
A robber?
Did something go missing?
Was anyone hurt?
No, I'm not saying that we were robbed.
But a couple of months ago,
a person died in that house.
Come to think of it, I think that's
the day our Happy went missing.
Oh my.
What kind of rotten bastard...
It's not like a tiny dog like this
even barks that much!
Oh, we didn't even know that Happy ended
up like this, and thought he ran away...
Oh, my poor Happy.
So, you're going to analyze that?
We can't be sure,
so I want to make sure for her.
Give that to me. I'm on my way
to the National Forensics Service now.
No, I'll go.
It's fine, I'm heading there anyway.
Or you can just go, then.
Well, all right, then.
Thank you.
Yes, find out where
Kang Jin Seop is, right now.
We cannot leave them alone.
I feel so wronged that
I feel like I'll go crazy.
I didn't kill him.
It's all a lie.
It's all deception.
I'm innocent!
Nobody else may know this, but I do.
I did not kill anyone.
The prosecutor manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
I screamed so loudly that
I thought my throat would bleed
but nobody bothered to listen!
Because I have no power,
connections, or money!
Why should I have to rot in jail for life
for a crime I did not commit?
Why must my child become
the child of a murderer?
When I think about my child,
who will grow up being bullied
and looked down upon,
growing up without a father...
I can't close my eyes, even in death.
Those human beings called "prosecutors"
who treated me like a dog...
36085!
Those prosecutors,
who trapped me and persecuted me...
My death serves as an accusation.
My death serves as a clear statement!
I... didn't kill him.
[Stranger]
You killed him!
You killed my Honey!
What could have made them so sure?
This wouldn't have been recorded
if the slightest thing went wrong.
You really don't need to know
what I found out?
All right, it's my turn now.
What did you find?
The evidence was manipulated
by the prosecutors, wasn't it?
How's that going?
Did you find any traces?
I'll find it soon.
Please wait just a bit longer.
Do you understand what you did wrong
now, from the arrest to the evidence?
What's next?
A place where Kang Jin Seop
didn't even go near.
Someone put it on there and moved it.
Another person is the real criminal.
Who... are you?
As you can see, the patient's brain is
more developed than an average person's.
Therefore, he is suffering from
even the smallest sounds.
That is also a very sensitive
area that controls emotions.
To reduce this pain, the only solution
is to perform a partial lobotomy.
As a post-surgical aftereffect,
he may suffer from extreme mood swings
or may not feel any emotions at all.
Hwang Shi Mok.
Do your ears still hurt
after the surgery on your brain?
No.
Have you gotten angry
recently? Or annoyed?
No.
Have you felt good,
or smiled a big smile recently?
No.
What's the one thing you've
been wanting to eat the most?
What do you like?
Nothing, really.
What about before?
You didn't have any favorites before?
How were you before the surgery?
Are you very different now?
Mr. Hwang Shi Mok is almost
incapable of feeling any emotions.
We'll have to keep monitoring him
but it's possible that he'll experience
other side effects or aftereffects.
- What are you doing?
- Why did you just stop there?
- Move your car!
- Get out of the way!
- Move it!
- Move!
[Episode 1]
My name is Park Moo Sung.
Nice you meet you.
[CEO Park Moo Sung]
[Sanghwa Construction]
Come to my house. I have something
to discuss with you privately.
75-4.
74-5.
76.
Excuse me. Where is 75-3?
What is it?
Isn't Mr. Park Moo Sung home?
I don't know anyone by that name.
That's your house, isn't it? 75-3?
No, it's not. Please leave.
Oh, my legs!
Oh my.
I was going to give these to my Moo Sung.
I'm not a debt collector.
A debt collector? Why would
I be scared of a debt collector?
It won't be long before
your house is gone, too.
Let us go.
You're really not going to
see him because of money, right?
I'm not owed money,
but I am laden with tons of debt.
Are you my Moo Sung's junior, then?
No, I'm not.
There was a party at my
younger sibling's place.
I hurried to pack some food away
because I figured it'd be all gone
if I waited until it was over.
Moo Sung wouldn't eat at all
if it weren't for me.
Here it is.
You're really not a
debt collector, right?
He doesn't have any money anymore.
Oh, oh! That child must be sleeping.
He hasn't been able to
sleep at night lately, you see.
Huh? Why is this open?
Please wait outside.
Wait...
Open the door!
His arm was scratched with a knife
and the stab wound
in his side is shallow.
As for his neck...
that's where the fatal wound was.
Three contusions.
Culprit is right-handed.
Since he was stabbed three times,
that means the culprit resented him.
Maybe he just stabbed him
without thinking much about it?
Don't you dare look down on me.
Your lives are in my hands, you got that?
I'm at the point where
I'm capable of anything.
Make sure you tell him this.
I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
I'm not going down alone.
With a knife from this very home.
The fact that the criminal came in
here without a weapon means...
[It May Be Dark, But Wake Up]
I'd like to report a murder incident.
Huam-dong, Sevit-ro, 72-3.
I need the scene cordoned off.
The victim has passed away.
There is also an elderly person
in her 70s needing protection
so please send an ambulance over.
And what is your name?
[It May Be Dark, But Wake Up]
[Hangang Yongsan Cable TV]
Hello, this is the
Yongsan Cable TV Service Center...
Did you receive a service request for
Mr. Park Moo Sung's home, Huam-dong 72-3?
Is this Mr. Park Moo Sung himself?
What time was the
repairman supposed to come?
Just a moment.
Oh, they were supposed to get
there by two. Are they not there yet?
Please give me the name
and address of that repairman.
Valued Customer, we will
call the repairman, and...
I am Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok of Unit 3
at the Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
The name and address of that repairman?
- What?
- He's a suspect for a murder incident.
- His name and address, quickly.
- Oh, just a moment.
His name is Kang Jin Seop,
and his address is...
Saechang-ro, House 61.
Please send a photo of him to
the phone number I'm about to give you.
Is he... dead?
He has expired.
Hey, you guys take a look
around the area first.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Excuse me!
This is the police!
Is anyone in there?
Excuse me!
Damn it. Excuse me!
You made a report, right?
We're the police.
Please escort that person away.
Yes, sir.
There is one body and the
murder weapon is on the floor.
What? But who are you?
Are you all right?
I'm here from the
Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
Where's the forensics team?
Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office?
- Are you a prosecutor, then?
- Ma'am!
Ma'am! Are you all right, ma'am?
Excuse me!
Pardon me.
Hey! Excuse me!
Excuse me!
Hey, stop him! Stop him!
- Who is he?
- Just stop him first!
Stop!
I told you to stop! Can't you hear me?
Huh?
Hey!
Ugh, damn it.
Oh yeah? Well, then...
That punk.
Yeah, come in.
This is CEO Park.
He's my acquaintance.
I'm Park Moo Sung.
Nice to meet you,
Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok.
Yes, nice to meet you.
Take a seat.
I talked you up a bit to CEO Park,
and he said that he must meet you.
I've heard quite a lot about you
from Prosecutor Seo.
Oh, I'll be right back.
I have to make a call.
I've been wanting to formally
introduce myself to you for a while.
I see.
[CEO Park Moo Sung]
[Sanghwa Construction]
I wanted to be of help to you a bit
since you do such important work.
Don't feel pressured, and just
use it as you please for a good cause.
0474. 0474. Stop your car.
[File Received:
Kang Jin Seop Resume]
0474. 0474. Stop your car.
Get out.
I'm Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok of Unit 3
at Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office.
Why were you running away then,
if you're a prosecutor?
His name is Kang Jin Seop.
He's a suspect.
How do you know?
How about you turn off that siren now?
You'll scare the real criminals.
I asked you how you know!
Was the victim your relative?
Where are you headed?
Saechang-ro, 61.
Turn off the siren, yeah?
[Hangang Yongsan Cable TV]
Hey!
- Hey!
- Hey!
- What was that?
- What's going on?
- Hey!
- What the hell!
Damn it!
- Whoa!
- Hey!
Whoa! What the heck?
Damn it!
- Huh?
- What's going on?
Oh, damn it!
Damn it.
As per Article 3 of the Act on the
Performance of Duties by Police Officers
you are hereby under arrest
for obstruction of justice.
You have the right to an attorney,
and the right to remain silent.
Is this everything that he sold here?
Yes, this is everything.
I paid him for this, though,
so what about my money?
We'll return it to you later.
Hey, wait! Where are you going?
Where are you going? Wait up!
When are you going to give it back?
Ugh, this guy. Seriously?
Where did they go?
Oh! Hey!
Seriously...
Ow, this hurts...
[Yongsan Police Station]
Whoa!
You had your suspect taken from you?
I apologize.
What could you have done when a
prosecutor placed him under arrest?
It's not like this will destroy our case.
If you saw the house,
you'd find it ridiculous.
I have no idea how he knew
there was anything worth stealing.
So he went in saying he'd fix his TV?
But why was that prosecutor
there at the time?
I'll go and find that out
right now, all right?
I have to see the suspect, too.
Yeah, sure. Get going.
Yes, sir.
Man, I wish someone would take
some of my cases off my hands.
What's with her?
She's only a first year.
Why, you little bastard...
Hello?
A laptop?
I heard that you got snubbed
by some prosecutor.
What kind of guy would
dare to cross our lieutenant?
This guy, right here.
I'm on my way to screw him over back.
Wow, I can't tell if he's a
prosecutor or a heinous criminal.
That drawing is a bit...
Hey, excuse me!
He wants you to go to the hospital first.
Team Leader said that?
Why? Did that granny wake up?
Um, yes, yes. So I'll go to the
Prosecutor's Office instead.
No, I'll go.
No, no, I'll go. Yes.
You've been working
together for two months
but he still talks like that.
Would it kill him to be
a little more polite? Huh?
Officer Jang.
I'm gonna be on my way now!
Oh, yes, yes, please go,
Lieutenant Han. Yes.
- I'm off.
- Have a safe trip...
[Office: Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
Oh my. Prosecutor, your face...
How did that happen?
Was it this guy?
Are you all right, sir?
- I'm sure we have some medication...
- I'm fine.
Later, Prosecutor Young.
But you, please come here.
Yes.
You have the right to remain silent.
Here, I've done the homework for you.
I picked that stuff up from his yard.
I didn't even go into the house.
Lift up your feet.
Happy now?
What are you...
It... it wasn't me!
If you'd been planning this,
you would've brought a weapon
and you would've kept your shoes on.
But you went because of his TV,
and he happened to be alone
and a knife just happened
to be within your reach.
You just lost it for a minute,
didn't you?
Involuntary manslaughter.
No! He was already dead
when I got there!
I was leaving because I was so shocked
but right next to him were
necklaces and things like that, so...
I know I shouldn't have.
Something just came over me!
But that's really all there is to it.
I didn't kill him.
How did you get into the house, then?
They opened the door for me
from the inside. That's how.
- Who?
- How should I know?
You said he was already dead when
you went in and nobody else was there.
Those words came out
of your own mouth, Mr. Kang.
The victim's only relatives
are his mother and son.
His son is away at the army,
and his mother was out.
So if the only person who was
at home was already dead
who opened the door for you?
Did a ghost open it for you?
The door was opened from the
inside when I rang the doorbell.
Oh... oh!
That guy must be the culprit!
The guy who was inside!
Shouldn't you go after him?
So you're saying that the criminal
was so kind as to open the door
for someone who came by
after the murder?
Yes! I had to go in for them to frame me!
But you didn't go in, remember?
You picked that stuff up in the yard.
I just said that because
you didn't believe me!
Did you hide your criminal history
and pick a job where you'd be going
into people's homes on purpose?
Geez, this is driving me crazy!
Not all people with a
criminal history kill people!
The house was already
a mess when I got there!
Please believe me!
What... is this?
He's not alarmed. He's confused.
What is this?
He's not pretending not to know them.
He's truly never seen them before.
[Office: Deputy Chief Prosecutor
Lee Chang Joon]
Is there a problem?
Park Moo Sung.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm still investigating...
He's dead.
What?
CEO Park is dead.
When? And how?
A murder robbery.
Pardon?
The criminal is here now.
He was caught already?
Congratulations, Deputy Chief.
Watch your tongue.
My apologies.
But isn't it better if this is
considered a murder robbery?
Hwang Shi Mok is the one
who discovered the body first
and the one who
apprehended the criminal.
Why him, of all people?
It's not him, "of all people,"
or even a coincidence.
The two of them were in cahoots.
Prosecutor Hwang would've
prosecuted us, and not the culprit
if CEO Park hadn't been killed.
What if he told everything to
Prosecutor Hwang before he died?
What would he have to tell him?
It's not we asked for cars or
houses, like other people.
All we did was eat a
couple of meals with him.
The dead can't speak.
The most incriminating proof
has now disappeared.
Not even Hwang Shi Mok can do anything
without the relevant party present.
You must not know him very well, sir.
He's like a poisonous snake.
He'll definitely try to use this
to delve deeper into the secrets.
Deputy Chief.
Leave this to me. I will...
Hand it over to Young Eun Soo.
You mean Prosecutor Hwang's
junior prosecutor?
She'll be even worse!
It's about time she got promoted, anyway.
It'll be much easier to manipulate
her than Hwang Shi Mok.
But for goodness' sake, keep a good
eye on what's happening this time.
This is too blatantly obvious, though.
There's no way Prosecutor Hwang doesn't
suspect that we're trying to remove him.
We're already being too
obvious about our intentions.
He may end up kicking us both out
of the law profession forever.
So I'll take on this case, and...
You think Hwang Shi Mok is an idiot?
You think he'd be okay with
entrusting a mouse to a cat?
Why am I the cat?
You're really going to play dumb
in front of me, of all people?
Who was it that CEO Park
despised most of all, again?
They said they were looking for people
to work in a family-like environment.
Even former convicts have
to make ends meet, after all.
I only did it in order to make a living.
It was wrong of me to hide
my criminal history, yes.
But they said that we'd be like family.
But that was a bunch of nonsense.
Never mind eating,
I barely even have time to pee.
They made me write a statement because
my customer satisfaction rate was low
and they really hound me if
I stay in one place for too long.
I also have to make sales,
and I have no weekends.
They work me hard on
Saturdays and Sundays.
Do you know how much we're paid,
despite being worked so hard?
It's so bad that
I'm backed up on my rent!
You're behind on your rent,
and I bet that you have debts, too.
That's definitely a reasonable motive.
Please, Prosecutor!
Prosecutor, I...
I'd really made up my mind
to live a proper life, okay?
I'm a father. I have a child!
And as for the mother...
all she did was give birth.
She's completely out of the picture!
I have to care for the child!
If I don't, nobody else will!
You know, I'd really made up my mind
to just raise this one child well.
Yes, I know it was wrong of me to be
so greedy even when I saw a dead body.
But it wasn't me.
It really wasn't me!
How could a human being
kill another human being?
Let's move him to the detention center.
- Prosecutor! Prosecutor!
- What should he be charged with?
I'll take care of that later.
I'm telling you, I'm innocent!
Why won't you believe me?
You're innocent, eh?
Even if what you're saying is true
you reached for his money first,
even as he bled to death before you.
- But...
- You call that being innocent?
You think that just anyone
is capable of that?
I may rob people,
but I don't kill people!
It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Prosecutor, it wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
Oh, yes.
Yes, I understand.
Thank you. I will work hard.
Congratulations!
How is it that not a single one of
these guys ever admits that it was them?
Later on, it's always
revealed that they did it!
- Sir.
- Yeah?
Prosecutor Young is a
full-fledged prosecutor now.
Really? It's already been six months?
Wow, time sure flies!
Congratulations... Madam Young!
It's all thanks to you.
Do DNA testing on this.
It's evidence.
This will be the
last time I do this, too.
Call and get the victim's
social security number
and access to his bank account.
What do you mean, "last time"?
Prosecutor Young was promoted
and is no longer a junior prosecutor.
Oh, really? Congrats.
Your first case is important.
Which one were you assigned?
They told me to work on the normal
criminal cases that came in today
excluding the economic and
political crime-related ones.
Oh, then you'll have to
see that guy from before again.
Shall I write a report first?
No, you can't.
Pardon?
Don't touch it.
I'll be going now.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Prosecutor!
Prosecutor! Why not?
You just can't.
Is it because you don't trust me?
Yeah.
What happened? Is this about
the murder case from today?
The one where that person named
Park Moo Sung, or whatever, died?
See, I told you that you met the most
difficult top-of-his-class guy ever.
Isn't he greedy?
He said he wouldn't hand
the case over to you, right?
I haven't heard about
what kind of case this is yet.
But it was a murder case, I see.
Let's have a cup of coffee.
Come with me.
Prosecutor Hwang!
Nice to meet you again.
I'm Kim Soo Chan from
Yongsan Police Station.
Oh, I see.
Wait, wait.
You did that last time, too.
You can't do this to me again.
Are you here to see me?
We also have people to
report to, you see.
- So...
- Go ahead, then.
Um...
How did you know that he was
the suspect and to pursue him?
I saw the TV repairman who was
supposed to fix the victim's TV
fleeing near the scene.
So, how did you know
that he'd come to fix the TV?
An unemployed guy in his 50s who
didn't have a single book in his room
was so bored that he went into
his son's room to get a book.
And because of my hunch, I turned
on the TV which was indeed broken.
Oh...
And why did you go to
the scene of the crime?
He's someone I'm acquainted to.
What kind of relationship did you have
with the victim, Park Moo Sung?
We're just personally acquainted.
What was your first impression
of Mr. Park Moo Sung?
What? First impression?
Why do you want to know my
first impression of a dead person?
Please give me a call
if you have any other questions.
Are you going to prosecute him?
Of course.
Yes, of course you need to.
The question is,
what should I charge him with?
[Taxi]
No! He was already dead
when I got there!
Who was that, damn it?
Why, you little...
Don't you dare go anywhere!
What the hell are you doing?
I'd appreciate it if you'd
cooperate with my investigation.
It's true that I left the car
here all day today.
But what else could possibly be here
except footage of the road?
It's pretty expensive to buy a new one.
I'll give it right back.
Just a moment.
Hey, wait! My memory card!
Wait! My memory card!
That little... ugh!
- Good work today!
- Good work today.
[Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
[Report Regarding the
Murder of Park Moo Sung]
We just got the report from the
police, so I was just... I'm sorry.
Do you think that
you'll be able to do it?
Yes, just leave it to me.
And how will you win the case?
Will I be going to court myself, as well?
Of course, a court prosecutor
will be going to court.
The evidence is quite decisive.
The items stolen have been
confirmed to be the victim's mother's
and the blood on the suspect's socks
is the victim's, as well.
What about the fingerprints
on the weapon?
There aren't any, except for
the victim's and his mother's.
The suspect, Kang Jin Seop,
said that he didn't kill Park Moo Sung
but that he went to the scene after
the murder and only stole the valuables.
He was ordered to go
there to repair the TV
so he didn't go there intending
to commit murder from the start.
What do you make of this?
Even if he may have been
ordered to go there
the fact that he broke
into the home by force
means that he intended to
commit a crime, doesn't it?
Who said that he forced
his way in there?
According to the victim's mother,
the victim was home alone
and they always locked the door
because of debt collectors.
So how else would he have
gotten into the house?
He's saying that the true culprit
lured him in there to frame him.
That makes no sense.
Are you going to say that
in front of the judge, too?
Do something about that tongue of yours.
I apologize.
What do you think would be the one
thing that could disprove that statement?
Decisive evidence proving that
the victim was alive at that time.
But do you think such a thing exists?
It's not like they have CCTV
cameras installed in their house.
What's that?
Where did you get this?
This does prove that he didn't
break into the house using force.
But this doesn't prove that the
victim was alive at this time.
Why not?
What the suspect said about
the true culprit letting him in
so that he could frame him
is a convincing argument.
I thought you said that makes no sense.
And I'm sure the defense attorney
will cling to that point.
Yeah.
Look here.
When you have debt collectors after you
you develop a habit of secretly checking
who it is before you open the gate.
So the suspect is the culprit, then.
Prosecutor.
Yeah, you should head home now.
Why? I need that for the trial.
It's decisive evidence.
Tomorrow.
Be sure to give it to me tomorrow.
2 minutes and 35 seconds.
It wasn't me.
It really wasn't me!
How could a human being
kill another human being?
I may steal,
but I'd never kill someone!
Yes, I'm from the fourth floor
Criminal Affairs Unit.
I'm Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok.
I'll send you a video file now,
so please analyze it for me.
The analysis has been completed, right?
That's the original, right?
Oh, I heard that you're the
prosecutor for that one case?
Your debut in court is coming up,
so you must be nervous.
I'm already confident that
I will win, though.
What's that?
Evidence that the suspect won't
be able to make any excuses for.
All I need to do is
register it as evidence.
Young Eun Soo.
This is your one and only debut case,
so you have to end it with a bang.
Want me to help you achieve a huge
win by incapacitating the defense?
Why would you include something
like this in the evidence now?
Use this as a part of
your big finale later.
That raiseth me...
Still all my song shall be
nearer, my God, to Thee.
Amen.
Oh, it's all right.
Thank you.
This is my grandson.
Oh!
The one who was away at the army.
It must be so difficult.
Yes.
Well, then...
[Two months later]
Is the verdict for that murder case
being announced today?
[10:00 a.m. Trial
Name of Defendant: Kang - Seop]
[Charges: Larceny and murder
Prosecutor: Young Eun Soo]
[Courthouse Number 407]
Then we went to the jeweler's
to retrieve the evidence.
After that, I personally
confirmed that the stolen items
belonged to the victim's mother.
That doesn't mean that he stole the items
and then committed the murder, correct?
But at the scene of the crime...
Please say "yes" or "no."
He didn't commit the murder
while he was stealing, correct?
No.
Thank you. No further questions.
You may return to your seat, Witness.
- Huh?
- What is this?
- That crazy man!
- What is going on?
Judge, I would like to register
a new piece of evidence.
I did not receive word of this!
We just finished
analyzing this ourselves.
But this is quite an important piece of
evidence that will influence this trial.
Both sides, please come forth.
The defendant has continuously stated
that he entered the scene of the crime
after the murder had occurred
in order to prove his innocence.
Your Honor, please take a look
at this video footage.
That's...
This is footage from a dash cam
acquired near the scene
which was undergoing
analysis until last night.
Last... night?
This is footage of the defendant arriving
at the scene on the day of the incident.
Yes, that's me. Yes. Yes.
As the defendant rings the doorbell
and waits for the door to be opened...
Here.
Please take a look right here.
- What is this?
- What's going on?
As you can see, the victim was
alive before the suspect entered.
- What is this?
- What's going on?
- No, no, no, no, no.
- To check for a potential third party
we checked the footage up
to 12 hours before the victim's death.
But there was nobody else who had
entered the scene besides the defendant.
But...
Please understand that we
could not present this sooner
due to the need to check
the footage, Your Honor.
Does the defense have anything to add?
No. No, no...
No, I do not.
No, it wasn't me, Attorney!
It wasn't me! This is all a lie!
That wasn't me! This is all a lie!
It wasn't me! It wasn't me!
Be quiet!
It wasn't me! I didn't kill him!
Why are you lying?
It wasn't me! Really!
Attorney, please!
Please, talk to them! Please!
Please, I didn't kill him! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me! Why are you doing this?
I didn't kill him, Attorney!
It wasn't me!
Why are you doing this?
I didn't do it!
It wasn't me!
I didn't kill him, Attorney!
To the defendant, who denied his crime
in the face of definitive evidence
and showed no remorse for his crime
I give a sentence of 22 years in jail.
Ma'am. You came here alone?
Why didn't your grandson come with you?
Just a moment.
Yes. Oh, it's over.
Where?
Again?
No, I'll go. Yes.
Oh, geez.
Oh... oh.
Are you, by any chance...
Yes, Hwang Shi Mok!
Yeah, Shi Mok.
Hey, nice to see you again, friend!
Wow, it's been so long!
About 20 years?
Back then, you didn't
even say a word, and...
Wow, so you became
a prosecutor, you punk?
Oh yeah, you were always
really good at studying.
You seem to be a part of
the industry as well.
Oh, not really. I'm just a
director at a small firm.
Mr. Kim Jung Bon.
Oh, yes!
Oh, I have to go. Sorry.
Let's grab a drink sometime.
Hey, it was really good to see you!
"Your Honor, I would like to
register a new piece of evidence."
You did great.
I think it was good to save it for
the end like you said, Senior.
This is what you call "know-how."
Even trials need a narrative.
What, when, how, bam!
And do a huge reveal!
I'll be sure to repay you
for your kindness.
Prosecutor Hwang.
Would it kill you to
congratulate her a little?
After all, this is your
junior's first win...
Hey, your senior is talking to you.
Oh, geez!
Prosecutor Seo helped me a lot,
saying that my debut was important.
The evidence was quite decisive,
so I just asked him for some advice.
Don't go learning things like that first.
It doesn't matter as
long as I win, does it?
It's not like it was fabricated evidence.
And I won, at any rate.
At any rate.
Honey!
- Honey!
- Sweetie!
- Honey! Honey!
- Sweetie! Sweetie!
The baby. The baby.
Min Ji! Min Ji!
Let go of me! Let go!
Let me go, please!
Just for a bit, please!
- What will you do about our child?
- Just for a bit, please!
- Honey... Honey!
- Oh, Min Ji!
Daddy is sorry, Min Ji!
Daddy is sorry!
- I'm sorry!
- Wait!
- Wait, please! My baby!
- Just a moment, please!
Min Ji!
- Oh... what am I supposed to do now?
- Honey! Min Ji!
- What do I do now?
- Min Ji!
Honey! Oh, what'll I do?
What'll I do? Honey! Honey!
Honey!
I miss him.
He must have been so scared.
He must have been in so much pain.
I... I should have been by his side.
I wanted to go with him.
I should have gone with him.
Let's go together, Shi Mok.
[Academic Achievement Award]
[Hwang Shi Mok, Third Grade]
Let's die together. You and Mommy.
Me... and you.
Let's just die together.
I'm sorry, Mom!
I won't do it again, Mom!
I can't do this anymore...
Mom. Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Just this once.
Oh yeah. Was the person
you saw before your friend?
Yes. He was my friend in middle school.
I see.
[Report Regarding the
Murder of Park Moo Sung]
They say that the rich can survive for
up to three years after losing everything
but he was holding on tight
to his expensive goods, huh?
This is why the situation
got so much worse.
Apparently, this was all he had
after he sold everything else.
How sad.
Why did you go there on that day?
You're only asking me that now?
Go ahead.
The victim, Park Moo Sung, used all
of his connections to avoid bankruptcy.
And he soon found out that connections
forged with money disappear too.
I'm sure he was confident that
he'd be able to get back onto his feet
if he weren't caught for embezzlement.
What a cocky, impudent man.
To think that he'd think of Korea's
prosecutors as his personal lackeys...
I understand why he
could have thought that, though.
So, what's your verdict?
This is my verdict.
It was a mere robbery and murder
that involved a third party.
What do you mean, a third party?
That almost sounds as if you're implying
that another person was involved.
Someone he'd be able to bury alive
just by opening his mouth.
Make sure you tell the deputy chief
that I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
There are people who
were being blackmailed.
Park Moo Sung, who failed
to reap what he'd sowed
threatened to release evidence of
all the people he'd wined and dined.
So, did you join forces with CEO Park
to take down that other person?
To get rid of all of your co-workers
who'd been involved in corruption?
Since you're Prosecutor Hwang,
who is the only virtuous one?
One can always gouge out
the rotten parts.
But for the past eight years
I've witnessed that same gouged-out spot
becoming rotten again and again.
Because there is no group in Korea
that will use their left hand
to cut off their right, so to speak.
Only the people with high hopes
end up getting hurt in the end.
And that's why CEO Park
ended up getting hurt.
And the person who was blackmailed
used a former convict to kill him.
You're not as great as I thought
you were, Hwang Shi Mok.
I thought you had a bit
more potential, too.
They broke someone's TV on purpose
and had a repairman who was a former
convict sent to his home on purpose.
It isn't like that person
to be so sloppy.
Just how would that person
operate, then, exactly?
When Kang Jin Seop insisted that
Park Moo Sung had already been dead
I thought that he may
have been telling the truth.
The true culprit was someone else.
That culprit killed Park Moo Sung and
tried to get rid of the evidence he had.
And the reason why
everything was on the floor
was because the entire
house was searched.
But the one who disproved
that hypothesis was you.
Yes, that's right.
So you took care of all
the loose ends neatly, eh?
You're competent and trustworthy.
I'm sure your insides
must be feeling terrible.
Here, go and buy yourself
a bowl of hangover soup.
I'll do that, then.
CEO Park told me himself...
that he had joined forces
with Hwang Shi Mok.
And that he wouldn't shed even
a drop of blood even if he were stabbed
so I should hurry and
help him before he struck.
Shi Mok. Don't get it twisted.
It wasn't because he trusted you.
It was to rub it in my face.
So the fact that you still asked me
why I went there that day...
was because you were curious about
just how much I knew, wasn't it?
That Park Moo Sung was blackmailing you.
That he could bury you
alive in a heartbeat.
What that was about
and whether or not I knew.
So?
I'll enjoy the soup.
What's with this neighborhood?
Is it haunted, or something?
Oh, oh man. How terrible.
It seems like it's been a while, too.
I do feel bad for our Happy
but we thought Happy ran away!
But, seeing as how they did this, maybe
they killed him because he was barking?
Because a robber broke in?
A robber?
Did something go missing?
Was anyone hurt?
No, I'm not saying that we were robbed.
But a couple of months ago,
a person died in that house.
Come to think of it, I think that's
the day our Happy went missing.
Oh my.
What kind of rotten bastard...
It's not like a tiny dog like this
even barks that much!
Oh, we didn't even know that Happy ended
up like this, and thought he ran away...
Oh, my poor Happy.
So, you're going to analyze that?
We can't be sure,
so I want to make sure for her.
Give that to me. I'm on my way
to the National Forensics Service now.
No, I'll go.
It's fine, I'm heading there anyway.
Or you can just go, then.
Well, all right, then.
Thank you.
Yes, find out where
Kang Jin Seop is, right now.
We cannot leave them alone.
I feel so wronged that
I feel like I'll go crazy.
I didn't kill him.
It's all a lie.
It's all deception.
I'm innocent!
Nobody else may know this, but I do.
I did not kill anyone.
The prosecutor manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
I screamed so loudly that
I thought my throat would bleed
but nobody bothered to listen!
Because I have no power,
connections, or money!
Why should I have to rot in jail for life
for a crime I did not commit?
Why must my child become
the child of a murderer?
When I think about my child,
who will grow up being bullied
and looked down upon,
growing up without a father...
I can't close my eyes, even in death.
Those human beings called "prosecutors"
who treated me like a dog...
36085!
Those prosecutors,
who trapped me and persecuted me...
My death serves as an accusation.
My death serves as a clear statement!
I... didn't kill him.
[Stranger]
You killed him!
You killed my Honey!
What could have made them so sure?
This wouldn't have been recorded
if the slightest thing went wrong.
You really don't need to know
what I found out?
All right, it's my turn now.
What did you find?
The evidence was manipulated
by the prosecutors, wasn't it?
How's that going?
Did you find any traces?
I'll find it soon.
Please wait just a bit longer.
Do you understand what you did wrong
now, from the arrest to the evidence?
What's next?
A place where Kang Jin Seop
didn't even go near.
Someone put it on there and moved it.
Another person is the real criminal.
Who... are you?
