SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
CEO Park is dead.
Hwang Shi Mok was the one
who first discovered the body
and took the suspect into custody.
What if CEO Park told Prosecutor Hwang
everything before he died?
I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
I definitely won't go down alone.
How did you get into the house?
The door was opened from the inside.
- Who opened it?
- How should I know?
I may steal, but I would
never kill a person!
He's saying that the true criminal
lured him in there to frame him.
What do you think could
disprove that statement?
Decisive evidence proving that
the victim was alive at the time.
To the defendant, who denied his crime
and showed no remorse for his crime
I sentence 22 years in jail.
To think that he'd think of Korea's
prosecutors as his personal lackeys.
- I can see why.
- So, what's your conclusion?
It was a simple murder and robbery
involving a third party.
A third party, eh?
It sounds as if you're
implying there was another person.
There were people
who were being blackmailed.
The prosecutors manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
Locate Mr. Kang Jin Seop.
You cannot allow him to be alone.
The 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.
[The characters, organizations, names,
and situations featured are fictitious.]
This is Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok,
who called you earlier.
What happened?
[Episode 2]
It was already too late when we got there
so there wasn't anything we could do.
Let me see.
Yes, sir.
It was past lights-out, and there
wasn't any indicator that he'd do this.
He hanged himself
on the bars of his window.
He seemed to have been
completely determined.
The prosecutors manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
He definitely committed suicide.
Could you tell me what was in
the letter you'd received--
It wasn't a letter. And it had
nothing to do with this situation.
Oh, I see.
Thank you, I'm done here.
Yes, sir.
"I'm done here"? Sheesh.
How could he say that
in front of a dead person?
Honey!
Why did you send me that?
Why did you bring that letter to me?
You're that prosecutor.
You killed him!
You killed my Honey!
Why didn't you try to stop him?
- Answer me.
- Bring my Honey back!
You must have seen the
contents of that letter.
You knew that he would die!
All right, then. Your husband
told you to do this, didn't he?
What did your husband say when
he told you to deliver that to me?
I'm sure he said that he'd
make sure that you and your child
would be able to
live well after his death.
You sent that to me because he told you
he'd figured out a way for
you two to live comfortably.
You received some
money recently, didn't you?
Did you accept that, knowing it
was the price of your husband's life?
I...
accepted money and
sent that letter, you say?
Excuse me!
Answer me.
If you feel angry about your
husband's death, answer me.
I am angry.
I'm so angry that I feel like
I'm going to explode!
I'm so angry and full of resentment
that I feel like I'll explode!
All right, now tell me.
What exactly did your husband say
when he told you to send that?
He said that it was only
to scare you people.
I see.
He told me he wouldn't actually die!
How am I supposed to live now?
How could he die and leave me
to raise a kid on my own?
There's a child here, sir.
Go ahead.
Is she putting on an act?
There's a chance that she is.
But the murder and
Kang Jin Seop's suicide...
Why didn't he just leave quietly
if he'd been ordered to do this?
Why did he complain about
how wronged he felt?
The prosecutors manipulated
the evidence, and...
How?
How was he so sure of that?
[Video Analysis Room]
Wait, excuse me for a moment.
Wait, no!
I'm done for today--
Damn it, I'm done with work for today.
Despite what the media tells you about us
this is the best we can do.
It's not a shot
right from the front, either.
We can only see it around the edge
so I don't think it'll be of any
use to try to zoom in more.
Is it possible to manipulate
this part right here, then?
Manipulate, huh?
I don't think it's been manipulated.
Yes, this is real.
It hasn't been altered.
There are tons of CCTV cameras
and dash cams nowadays
so there are endless possibilities.
This wouldn't have been recorded if
the slightest thing went wrong, either.
Oh man, this is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?
[Genetic Analysis Room]
Yes, Deputy Chief?
Yes.
I'll head over there right now.
[A suspect from Huam-dong who
lamented about how wronged he felt]
[What is the true story
behind the incident?]
Do you know how many calls
I'm getting right now?
How dare some murderer send out a
letter that he'll kill himself in spite?
He died.
Are you sure?
I just confirmed it myself.
Were intimidation tactics
used in the investigation?
No.
- Did anything not follow protocol?
- No.
What about the accusation
about manipulated evidence?
It was not manipulated.
So he lied, and then died?
He seemed to be so sure of himself.
I just checked myself, and it wasn't.
The police should be the ones
in a frenzy about this, not us.
Do you understand what you did wrong,
from the arrest to the evidence?
You dashed over last time,
too, because CEO Park called.
You sure have an arsenal of
ways of screwing me over.
I apologize.
CEO Park told me himself
that he'd joined forces
with Hwang Shi Mok.
You dashed over last time,
too, because CEO Park called.
You sure have an arsenal of
ways of screwing me over.
But you knew that you'd be screwed over.
So why didn't you
stop this from happening?
[International Refugee Law
Academic Seminar]
[Five months ago]
First of all,
don't appear like an easy target.
Smile a lot and act cute, okay?
You're good at that, after all.
You're from the
Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office?
Yes.
Welcome to Hansung Love Resort.
Everyone from Seoul Western has a room
on the 10th floor with the best views.
Oh, thank you.
Everyone from Seoul Western has a room
on the 10th floor with the best views.
Prosecutor Seo.
Hey, have you seen the deputy chief?
I haven't.
He has to do the opening.
What is he doing that he's not
even answering his phone?
Oh, Deputy Chief!
Hi. Are the preparations complete?
Yes, sir.
- Good work.
- Hey!
Hey!
- Wow, you're looking good.
- No, you look even better, punk!
Oh, you.
Oh, you know Dong Jae, right?
Prosecutor Seo.
My name is Seo Dong Jae.
Wow!
He's the ace at Seoul Western.
Move your car!
[Yongsan Police Station]
Oh, you're looking good!
This is my friend, Chief Kim.
Oh, I'm sorry... oh!
Looks like we meet again.
I'm Lieutenant Han Yeo Jin.
Where's the Evidence Room?
What?
Are you reinvestigating the case?
Why, is there something
that's standing out to you?
Are you worried because of
the angry letter he wrote?
You should be the one worrying,
since you ruined everything.
How did I ruin everything?
You tried to take care of
the case all on your own.
Looks like you haven't heard
from Sergeant Kim yet.
Heard about what?
He seemed to be worried
because of the DNA test results.
What DNA test results--
What results?
Why are you asking me this
when Yongsan requested it?
What did Sergeant Kim say?
Like, word for word.
"This is driving me crazy."
Oh, this is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?
"Why did I leave this to that woman?"
Huh?
Excuse me.
I don't know anything else besides that.
No, it's not about that.
Excuse me.
Goodness. Goodness!
Oh my... what kind of--
Oh, Lieutenant!
Oh, yes?
Have you seen Sergeant Kim?
He's back? I actually need to--
Detective Seo said he saw him,
but now I can't find him anywhere.
Oh, do you want to go to
the pub nearby and have some...
Oh, right now, I...
Don't drink too much.
All right.
How did you know the lock pattern?
Hey, why do you keep
ignoring what I'm saying? Huh?
What's this?
I'm the one who called
the cable TV company.
What about this?
[CEO Choi of Yeongdeungpo]]
Did he call to arrange a meeting?
Hey, come on.
Why won't you answer me?
LCJ... LCJ?
Is that someone you know?
CEO Park told me himself
that he'd joined forces
with Hwang Shi Mok.
I asked you if you know them.
He called him right after he was
done speaking to you, Prosecutor.
Do you know this person?
Huh?
I asked you if you know him!
What, you think I
don't have hands? Huh?
I'm sure they would've
searched his phone first
if the investigation
hadn't ended so soon.
The person you are trying to call cannot
be reached. Please leave a voicemail--
[Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office]
Mr. Kang, who was imprisoned
for the incident in Huam-dong
took his own life at the
Namdo Detention Center...
Those guys are always complaining
that they've been shafted.
They did it to themselves, after all.
But to go that far...
is that guy crazy?
Who is it? Lieutenant Han?
Yes.
No! I didn't do it!
Oh, you're here, ma'am?
None of this is true!
Why are you lying?
He was already dead when I got there!
Mr. Kang insisted that the
evidence was manipulated
and wrote a letter expressing
how angry and wronged he felt.
Hey, turn that off!
Ugh, I'm so sick of this already.
Now there are doubts
surrounding the investigation.
At least the prosecutors are the ones
getting blamed for this case, though.
It's only fair that
that happens sometimes, too.
I salute you.
What happened with the
test results you got yesterday?
What results?
What happened to the DNA test of
the blood sample from Huam-dong?
Oh... that?
Well, that...
they said that it wasn't
a person's blood.
It's was dog blood. A dog's blood.
But...
He seemed to be worried
because of the DNA test results.
"This is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?"
- All right.
- Yeah.
All right, then.
Let's take care of this quickly.
- Here.
- Hurry it up!
Be careful with those! Every page
is made of my blood and sweat!
Oh, Prosecutor Hwang.
Oh, that? This is the new
Special Regulatory Team.
Oh, I see.
What about the media briefing?
I'm heading there now.
I bet people are
going to go crazy for you
when they see our
beautiful prosecutor on TV.
Just remember what I told you.
Find a spot to focus on,
and look only at that.
You'll seem less confident
if your eyes dart around.
And don't move your hands too much.
I'll make good use of
what you've told me.
Good luck.
I've decided to include Young Eun Soo
in my Special Regulatory Team.
This is how you train your juniors.
Not by making them do
small, menial chores.
Oh, is that right?
A person should be made to
clean up after their own shit.
[National Forensics Service]
[The Power of Science
to Reveal the Truth]
Firstly...
I would like to offer my condolences
for the unfortunate loss of a life.
However, the deceased
Kang Jin Seop's statement is groundless
and we, the prosecution, never
manipulated the evidence, even a little.
We would like to formally announce
to the citizens of this country
that the trial was
carried out fairly on our part.
Thank you.
It was Park Moo Sung's blood.
Park Moo Sung's blood was
found in such an unexpected place.
The deceased Mr. Kang Jin Seop could
not withstand the conditions within jail
and had tried to
take his life once before.
And as I'd mentioned beforehand
to link the deceased's death
[Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
to the Seoul Western Prosecutor's Office
is incredibly illogical.
How will Seoul Western
take care of this matter?
- Does that mean that the prosecution...
- Is it true that...
[National Forensics Service]
[Sergeant Kim]
The evidence...
the video that we saw here
on the day of Kang Jin Seop's trial.
It was manipulated by
the prosecution, wasn't it?
Why did you go to
Park Moo Sung's house?
What kind of relationship
did you have with him?
And what's with Sergeant Kim?
Why are you mentioning Sergeant Kim?
What is the reason for
trying to hide the true criminal
to the point of lying to me
about the blood test results?
Answer me.
Are you sure you're okay
not knowing what I found out?
Park Moo Sung was a "sponsor."
He provided money,
women, and so much more.
But when someone like him
ended up becoming poor
all the wine-and-dine sessions
that he'd paid for
only yielded contempt and scorn
from those he'd serviced.
So, what do you think happened next?
So he was murdered for
blackmailing powerful people?
And the true criminal is
someone among them?
Sergeant Kim knows that, too.
The reason Park Moo Sung
wanted to meet me on that day
was because he wanted to show me
the evidence of their corruption.
But when I told Sergeant Kim that he
was a personal acquaintance, he laughed.
Why's that?
Because he thought that
I'd accepted bribes, too.
If Sergeant Kim had truly been
unaware of Park Moo Sung's true identity
could he possibly have linked a guy
in his 50s living alone in an old home
who'd died in sweats,
to someone involved in bribery?
So Sergeant Kim accepted
bribes from him, too?
No.
He's not important enough for that.
Judging from his first impression
of Park Moo Sung
it seemed that he didn't
even know what he looked like.
It's probably someone
who is higher up than him.
What are you saying?
What do you take us for?
So you're saying they killed him
and the higher-ups said to cover it up,
so the lower-ranked people did?
What do you take us police officers for?
A detective who specialized in
cases related to the economy
was recently caught conning people,
and was brought over to us.
Well, that's...
not relevant to this.
Park Moo Sung's laptop,
which was in his room, disappeared.
Because it was taken from
the scene as evidence.
Did you see a laptop in the
box of evidence yesterday?
It wasn't on the police's
list of evidence at all.
I'm sure they were trying to
find the list of those bribed
just as the higher-ups ordered
because nobody would know that it'd
disappeared if they put it back later.
There's a list of people
who received bribes, too?
It's your turn now.
What did you find?
[National Forensic Service
DNA Test Result]
[Sample 1 and Sample 2
are a 99.99 percent match]
Where did you get this?
From the house behind the victim's.
A place Kang Jin Seop
didn't go anywhere near.
Someone else got it on there.
The true culprit is someone else.
You're not even surprised.
Did you know about this too?
Did you know about
all of this, Prosecutor?
Is that why you blamed
the wrong person and--
Who was the one who
manipulated the evidence?
Was it you?
Or the prosecutor
who was at the trial?
Did you really fabricate that video
to blame all of this on Kang Jin Seop?
The video...
Where are you going?
Prosecutor.
What's wrong with you, man?
Are you going to be okay?
Do you want me to drive instead?
Now there's no way that
the video could be real.
You're right.
It was manipulated.
I was deceived.
Deceived?
Are you saying that the person who
manipulated it was the culprit, then?
Who would go so far as to do that?
Why would they go so far as to do that?
Where did you find the blood sample?
Hey, you punk!
Why, you little!
Oh, here.
Thank you for this.
Way to return it in a timely fashion.
But, you know,
isn't this that person?
The one who is causing
an uproar by dying in jail?
Why do you keep leaving
your car parked here?
Do you just leave this
car parked here all the time?
The street is so narrow,
how else would I be able to park it?
How long has it been parked here?
How long? Well, since today.
It's the first day off
I've had in a couple of days.
January 16th was not
a day that you had off, was it?
But when I looked at the footage,
the car remained parked all day.
Well, that's...
Looks like he got caught
drunk driving.
You weren't able to
work on that day, were you?
What are you--
Someone reported me
for refusing them a ride!
I had to pay a 400,000 won fine
because of that curly-haired bastard!
"Curly-haired"?
He looked like a middle-aged lady,
and he was drunk as hell!
What date and time was this? And where?
The incident you received
a report back in January about.
Well, um... Yeongdeungpo Station.
And the date was... uh...
At any rate, the day I was put on
probation was January 13th, I think.
January 13th?
All right.
Wow, that guy... I bet he's
well-loved wherever he goes.
Sir, did you see anyone
passing by behind that house
on the day the incident occurred?
Or jumping over the fence
into that house?
Even if they went through the front
entrance, I would've forgotten by now.
Yes.
If you remember anything, by any chance
please give me a call.
Thank you.
That's the house that I discovered
the blood sample from.
If you look at this here...
The steel bars over there.
Prosecutor.
This is the reason he
didn't go through here
but jumped over the fence to
the house where the dog was instead.
This one's broken, though.
How did you know that?
It's the type that has a red light
that turns on when it's on.
The culprit probably didn't know
that it didn't work.
If he didn't, he would've gone
straight to Park Moo Sung's house.
But then he would've been
caught on the taxi's dash cam.
And just how did he know about that?
I'm sure he did some preliminary scouting
and saw the cab with a dash cam.
He knew that much, but didn't know
that this CCTV camera was broken?
Maybe he just took
everything at face value?
These steel bars here.
This is where I found the blood.
He jumped this way from there,
and then went that way, I believe.
That was thrown away
after the incident occurred.
I think that what the culprit
climbed up on that day
was the recyclable garbage
that was put outside that week.
Oh, I would've found some clues if I'd
done some additional investigating.
It was right in front of my face.
And if I'd done some extra legwork,
I might even have found a witness.
Is it possible for us to find out
who reported the taxi driver?
What, the person who reported him
for refusing them a ride?
Are you saying that person
is related to this, too?
Because it was on January 13th?
So you think that person
got him put on probation
three days before the
incident on purpose?
It's possible.
What do you mean, it's possible?
That means that
whoever reported him
is the culprit, or an
accomplice, at least.
So then, he would've had to
make sure the camera was there
and calculate that Kang Jin Seop
would be caught on camera at that time.
Wait, no. He had to have
broken his TV before that
and take that one cab among the many
cabs waiting at Yeongdeungpo Station
start a fight with the driver,
then report him.
All so that the prosecution could
use it as decisive evidence.
You really think that's possible?
We'll have to confirm.
Yeah.
Yes, this is Yeongdeungpo
Police Station, right?
I'd like to talk to the
Traffic Unit, please.
It took exactly 11 seconds for the bell
to ring, then the door to be opened.
A right-handed person.
There was a shallow stab wound in
his side, and his arm was scratched.
The fatal blow was in his neck.
- Is anyone home?
- 37 seconds.
In 37 seconds, Kang Jin Seop
had to have been inside the house
and have witnessed the murder scene.
If the culprit hadn't killed
Park Moo Sung after opening the door
but opened the door after killing him...
Please, spare me!
The timing still doesn't make sense.
There's only one other possibility, then.
When the doorbell rang...
Park Moo Sung had already been dead.
[Taxi]
What... are you doing?
You're not Park Moo Sung.
Who are you?
What are you doing?
Anything about the person
who reported the cab driver?
You mean the curly-haired guy?
Is he an actual person?
Yes, I talked to him.
I'm sure of this.
Oh.
Hey! Put that down.
Why did you look at the
call history of a dead person?
Because I could not allow
myself to be used.
Used?
If I hadn't come here at that time
and the investigation hadn't
been concluded so quickly
we would have found the clues
that the true criminal left behind.
Are you blaming yourself for this?
Do you think I came here
on that day by chance?
Or do you think that was
all a part of the plan, too?
The plan?
If he'd planned that, the real
culprit would've had to know
that you'd be here on that day.
Wait a second.
There's that person he called
right after speaking to you.
LCJ.
Then, LCJ is--
It's the deputy chief prosecutor
from my office.
What?
Wait, so, the deputy chief prosecutor
was the one who shut Park Moo Sung up
and also let the real criminal go free?
Now he's free to beat me down
as much as he wants to
since there's evidence that the
arrest was improperly handled.
Do you understand what you did wrong,
from the arrest to the evidence?
Is that what he meant?
The deputy chief prosecutor
only answers to the chief prosecutor.
So why did he go to such lengths?
Just how much corruption
is he involved in, then?
I don't know.
You don't know either, Prosecutor?
What do you mean?
I don't know what, exactly?
You should strike first, Prosecutor.
Why not? They were the ones
controlling everything.
Because this is only an
assumption as of now.
Because he's only one of the many
potential suspects who knew the victim.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
If it's just a coincidence that
Kang Jin Seop came here at that time...
the culprit could have been you.
If you'd gotten here a few minutes
earlier than Kang Jin Seop
you could've very well
said the same thing.
That you came in
because the door was open
but the victim was already dead.
And if that's the case...
Because I could not allow
myself to be used.
That's what you meant by...
"being used," wasn't it?
We don't know anything yet.
Just like how we can't
see anything right now.
We just have to turn
the light on, then.
We'll figure this out.
[DNA Test Results]
Who should I report this to?
I can't exactly go to the chief
directly about this. Ugh.
Your police chief and our
deputy chief are friends.
They're not the type of people
who will get scared of the outburst
that will come when it's revealed that
Kang Jin Seop died an innocent man.
They're probably just glad that their
sponsor died without any slip-ups
and now they can all relax
thanks to you, Lieutenant.
They just want to cover this up
as quickly as they can.
There may be no such thing
as a perfect crime
but there are tons of unsolved crimes.
I'm sure they don't care that one
measly murderer is still at large.
The entire Violent Crimes Unit
will be shaken up by this.
We caught the culprit
and put him in jail.
But he died, and now the
whole country knows about it.
But we have to be the ones
to admit that he was innocent.
So you want to cover this up
like Sergeant Kim did?
What about you, Prosecutor?
Will you be okay even if
this news becomes public?
Me?
You'll probably be the one to
suffer most of all due to this.
We're people whose job it is
to search for the truth, aren't we?
You managed to dig up a fact
that was completely buried.
But right now isn't the time to decide
whether to preserve it or not.
What kind of person was
Han Yeo Jin up until now?
All of this depends on that.
Drop me off here.
What kind of person was
Han Yeo Jin up until now?
All of this depends on that.
[Prisoner Who Committed Suicide]
[Prisoner Who Committed Suicide
Revealed to be Innocent]
- Ma'am.
- Yes?
When that person comes,
tell them I'll be late today.
SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
I'm sure you all remember Mr. Kang, who
was convicted for the Huam-dong murder
and subsequently
committed suicide in jail.
Before the shock of this situation
could properly settle
reports that he may not
have truly been guilty surfaced.
Mr. Kang's rage-filled letter
claimed that he was not the murderer
and that the prosecutor in charge of
his case manipulated the evidence.
His claims are now being investigated
to see whether or not they are true.
Criticisms toward the police
and prosecution are pouring in
after the police and prosecution
acknowledged their mistake.
And due to this, Mr. Kang's case has
become engulfed in more confusion.
I did it for us, and for my co-workers!
Everyone is cursing us out,
talking about how incompetent we are!
I thought that it'd put a lot of
people in danger if I put this out there!
We could've just announced this
after I caught the culprit.
You couldn't wait that long?
If what you did was really
for the sake of your co-workers
you should've revealed this
so we could investigate together.
How could you say that
human blood was dog blood?
- How could you?
- Shut it!
Do you take all of your seniors as fools?
Why would we report something about
an ongoing investigation to the press?
And you, idiot.
Are you out of your mind?
What the hell were you planning to do
by sitting on this important intel?
Did you want the catch the
criminal and become the hero?
Why are you being like this
to me too, sir?
I wouldn't have done this
if Kang Jin Seop were fine!
But he's dead now, and now it
turns out that he wasn't guilty!
What was I supposed to do?
Were you going to let him stay a murderer
since he's dead, anyway?
It's not like acquitting him
would bring him back.
It's not like clearing his name
would revive him.
He died because he felt so wronged!
How wronged would someone
have to feel to hang himself?
And when he has a baby, at that?
You think he's the only one?
There are tons of people
who feel wronged in jail.
Ugh, that dead guy was an idiot.
Hey! You...
How could you...
possibly say that, as a cop?
You're both terrible.
You're both on probation!
Don't you dare do anything!
And stay out of my sight!
Get out of here!
What?
What?
Team Leader, do you...
What about me?
Never mind.
Give me the laptop you
took from the scene.
What?
The laptop you took
from Park Moo Sung's house.
Why are you hiding it?
What do you mean, hiding it--
You went back to the scene and took it.
I already know, so hand it over.
Oh, come on. It's not because
I was being greedy or anything.
I was just so busy that I forgot to
register it in the list of evidence.
I mean, I have a laptop right here, too!
There wasn't anything on there, anyway.
[Prosecutor Hwang]
Koani-chan?
What?
Oh, it's nothing.
I found Park Moo Sung's laptop.
But I think that this is his son's.
There wasn't a computer
in his son's room.
What?
It makes no sense for a kid
his age to not have a computer.
Park Moo Sung was using it
while his son was in the army.
Okay. At any rate,
I'll leave it to the Cyber Unit.
And I'll make sure they recover
everything, including deleted files.
If the criminal left it behind,
I'm sure there's nothing much on there.
Geez, figures.
Doesn't even ask if I'm okay, even though
he definitely knows how things are here.
Ugh, what a piece of work.
But why didn't they take the laptop
if they did this because of the bribery?
He turned the entire house
into a mess, after all.
Maybe they checked this
after they killed him?
- She's here!
- She's here!
Is it true that you
manipulated the evidence?
- When was this revealed?
- Did you know about this?
Do you know you're being
called the "Murdering Prosecutor"?
You're the daughter of former
minister Young Il Jae, correct?
Is your father aware
of this situation?
Get out of my face!
You sure are arrogant for someone
who left his junior for dead.
Um, is Prosecutor Seo...
He's out right now.
There are some documents
I gave to him by mistake.
Can you tell him that
I'm taking them back?
Sure.
[Special Regulatory Team

[Special Regulatory Team
Targeting Prostitution]
- Prosecutor Hwang is here.
- What?
What are you doing?
I thought some of my documents
got mixed in there, but they didn't.
I'm sorry.
Why would your documents be here?
What kind of nonsense is this
after you were caught snooping?
Is this something so important
that it's worth snooping on?
I didn't know.
Why, you little...
Hey, if you have time to be
spinning these kinds of lies
go outside and tell the truth.
Go outside and tell them, like a man
whose carelessness caused this
to happen to Young Eun Soo!
All right, I'll do that.
Hey!
What were you digging around
for in my office?
What were you spying on me for, huh?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this here?
There are tons of reporters
outside, so do it there.
That way, everyone will know that
Prosecutor Unit 3 is a damned joke!
- I apologize.
- I apologize.
So, did he see it?
Do you really think that
I'd let him do that, sir?
I don't think he saw.
You think?
He didn't see.
But...
he searched my office
right in front of me.
This is a declaration of war.
And it's all his fault that our office
is being blamed so much.
Fire him immediately, sir.
He dug his own grave, so he won't
be able to say anything about it.
We've been scheduled
for an internal audit.
Manipulation of evidence, concealment,
incompetence, forceful investigation.
They're going to investigate
us for all of those things.
Does this mean that we
won't have to do anything?
Are you seriously asking that?
We're done for if
Hwang Shi Mok opens his mouth.
We should have concluded
this matter with Kang Jin Seop.
Will there be any way for us
to avoid the internal audit?
The chief prosecutor is
really on edge right now
and we've caused a lot of
trouble for him, too.
Do you really think
he'd help us now?
What about my secret investigation, then?
Look one way, and row another.
I'm going to provoke Hwang Shi Mok.
Court Prosecutor Young Eun Soo...
She's become a public figure
due to the media briefing.
It's a shame, but she'll have
to shoulder the blame.
Why should she have to shoulder
the blame for someone else?
What about Hwang Shi Mok, then?
Are you just going to let him be?
How did that go, by the way?
Did you find any traces?
Um, I'm doing my best to search, but...
How many more people
do you have to arrest
to finally make some progress,
despite our country being so small?
Do you think I assigned you this so
you could hang out with some girls?
I apologize, sir.
I thought it'd be more difficult to find
them if they weren't in that industry.
They're Park Moo Sung's hidden card.
They definitely work in that industry.
I'll find them soon.
Please wait just a bit longer.
Send Hwang Shi Mok in.
Yes, sir.
[Stop her!]
[Murdering Prosecutor]
[Even her dad was
involved in corruption.]
[Her entire family is a joke.]
Yeah, Mom?
Mom, what's the matter?
Why are you being like this too, Mom?
Why would Dad die?
I'll be right there, okay?
Yes, Chief?
Come to Haerangwon.
- Jjajangmyun, please.
- Yes, sir.
I'm sure you know Section Chief Lee.
And this is Director Im, a businessman.
- You've seen his face before, right?
- Yes.
You're getting an internal audit.
Oh... yes, sir.
You knew? It was just announced, though.
No, I didn't.
Just give it time.
You'll get used to him eventually.
They may be calling this an audit
but they're probably
doing this to get rid of you.
Are you angry about it?
No, sir.
Want me to order you some
sweet and sour pork, or something?
- This might be our last.
- Come on, that's all you're offering?
Buy him some
stir-friend seafood, at least.
Why would I do that?
It's not like I like him.
You have something to say, don't you?
No. Why?
Why are you asking me
when you already know?
Because I don't know.
Here's your order.
Do you have no common sense,
or just no respect?
We should let him eat, at least.
Um, excuse me.
Yes? Yes.
I understand.
I apologize, but I must go.
Oh, geez.
It would've been better
if we hadn't bothered to tell him.
Want some?
Eat up.
Sure.
[Korean Law Enforcement Has Exhibited
an Extreme Amount of Incompetence]
Did you want to see me, sir?
Did you have a good little excursion?
Prosecutor Hwang.
Yes, Deputy Chief?
We've been scheduled
for an internal audit.
I see.
At least one person
will lose their job over this.
They won't ever be able to work as
a government worker, or at a law firm.
They won't even be able
to work in law ever again.
It's too bad. I'm sure it hasn't been
long since you bought your apartment.
And I'm sure you have
a lot of loans to pay off.
You know that the chief prosecutor is
trying to become an assemblyman, right?
All that's left now is his announcement.
And that vacant position will go to me.
I'm 99 percent sure of it.
Congratulations, sir.
Congratulations to you too,
Prosecutor Hwang.
Because I, your immediate superior
and deputy chief prosecutor...
will make you the section chief
of Prosecutor Unit 3.
But you said that at least one
person would be fired, sir.
That I did.
Is it going to be Young Eun Soo?
What about Seo Dong Jae?
Was it about eight years ago?
He couldn't help his bad habit
and hid an important piece of
evidence until the end of the trial.
He got into a lot of trouble for that.
Do you know what he said to me then?
He said that his
junior prosecutor did that
and that he wouldn't respond
to anything he said to him.
He thought that the guy had
something wrong with his head.
And I believed him.
But you know...
it turned out that the
so-called crazy junior of his...
had the most brilliant
brain among us all.
SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
I saw something interesting
in the court record.
Seo Dong Jae was the
one who brought forth
the dash cam footage
in the middle of the trial again.
All right.
All the ingredients are prepped now.
Shall we begin cooking?
[Korean Law Enforcement Has Exhibited
an Extreme Amount of Incompetence]
You have to be different.
You have to be different
from that certain someone...
and protect your own
junior prosecutor, right?
What do you mean by that, sir?
The one whose name is out there
is Young Eun Soo.
There's no use in being stubborn.
You should just die
along with Young Eun Soo.
I...
did not know...
CEO Park.
Do you understand?
Hansung Love Resort, Suite 1008.
Shall I say that you don't know
anything about that either, sir?
I'll assume that you
understand what I'm getting at.
The position of Section Chief
isn't quite enough.
I like this, right here.
Give me this position.
Is this who you truly were all along?
A guy who only cares
about being promoted?
I will follow you
on the path you walk, sir.
Please lead the way.
And after that?
Drag me along.

Park Moo Sung was blackmailed
via phone the day before he died.
Do you think that person is the culprit?
The person Park Moo Sung met last?
They used an office phone
to disguise their number.
They're not the culprit.
They're an accomplice.
Why did they kill him?
Was this your doing, CEO Park?
No, sir.
Do you know of a way to turn the tables?
Find someone to blame this on.
Where were you at the time
the incident occurred?
If I am put in danger as well,
I will strike at the murderer first.
You will have to deal with the

I will definitely arrest the criminal.
I will accept being dismissed.

CEO Park is dead.
Hwang Shi Mok was the one
who first discovered the body
and took the suspect into custody.
What if CEO Park told Prosecutor Hwang
everything before he died?
I can bury that bastard alive
just by opening my mouth.
I definitely won't go down alone.
How did you get into the house?
The door was opened from the inside.
- Who opened it?
- How should I know?
I may steal, but I would
never kill a person!
He's saying that the true criminal
lured him in there to frame him.
What do you think could
disprove that statement?
Decisive evidence proving that
the victim was alive at the time.
To the defendant, who denied his crime
and showed no remorse for his crime
I sentence 22 years in jail.
To think that he'd think of Korea's
prosecutors as his personal lackeys.
- I can see why.
- So, what's your conclusion?
It was a simple murder and robbery
involving a third party.
A third party, eh?
It sounds as if you're
implying there was another person.
There were people
who were being blackmailed.
The prosecutors manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
Locate Mr. Kang Jin Seop.
You cannot allow him to be alone.
The 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.
[The characters, organizations, names,

This is Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok,
who called you earlier.
What happened?
[Episode 2]
It was already too late when we got there
so there wasn't anything we could do.
Let me see.
Yes, sir.
It was past lights-out, and there
wasn't any indicator that he'd do this.
He hanged himself
on the bars of his window.
He seemed to have been
completely determined.
The prosecutors manipulated the evidence
and made a murderer out of me.
He definitely committed suicide.
Could you tell me what was in
the letter you'd received--
It wasn't a letter. And it had
nothing to do with this situation.
Oh, I see.
Thank you, I'm done here.
Yes, sir.
"I'm done here"? Sheesh.
How could he say that
in front of a dead person?
Honey!
Why did you send me that?
Why did you bring that letter to me?
You're that prosecutor.
You killed him!
You killed my Honey!
Why didn't you try to stop him?
- Answer me.
- Bring my Honey back!
You must have seen the
contents of that letter.
You knew that he would die!
All right, then. Your husband
told you to do this, didn't he?
What did your husband say when
he told you to deliver that to me?
I'm sure he said that he'd
make sure that you and your child
would be able to
live well after his death.
You sent that to me because he told you
he'd figured out a way for
you two to live comfortably.
You received some
money recently, didn't you?
Did you accept that, knowing it
was the price of your husband's life?
I...
accepted money and
sent that letter, you say?
Excuse me!
Answer me.
If you feel angry about your
husband's death, answer me.
I am angry.
I'm so angry that I feel like
I'm going to explode!
I'm so angry and full of resentment
that I feel like I'll explode!
All right, now tell me.
What exactly did your husband say
when he told you to send that?
He said that it was only
to scare you people.
I see.
He told me he wouldn't actually die!
How am I supposed to live now?
How could he die and leave me
to raise a kid on my own?
There's a child here, sir.
Go ahead.
Is she putting on an act?
There's a chance that she is.
But the murder and
Kang Jin Seop's suicide...
Why didn't he just leave quietly
if he'd been ordered to do this?
Why did he complain about
how wronged he felt?
The prosecutors manipulated
the evidence, and...
How?
How was he so sure of that?
[Video Analysis Room]
Wait, excuse me for a moment.
Wait, no!
I'm done for today--
Damn it, I'm done with work for today.
Despite what the media tells you about us
this is the best we can do.
It's not a shot
right from the front, either.
We can only see it around the edge
so I don't think it'll be of any
use to try to zoom in more.
Is it possible to manipulate
this part right here, then?
Manipulate, huh?
I don't think it's been manipulated.
Yes, this is real.
It hasn't been altered.
There are tons of CCTV cameras
and dash cams nowadays
so there are endless possibilities.
This wouldn't have been recorded if
the slightest thing went wrong, either.
Oh man, this is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?
[Genetic Analysis Room]
Yes, Deputy Chief?
Yes.
I'll head over there right now.
[A suspect from Huam-dong who
lamented about how wronged he felt]
[What is the true story
behind the incident?]
Do you know how many calls
I'm getting right now?
How dare some murderer send out a
letter that he'll kill himself in spite?
He died.
Are you sure?
I just confirmed it myself.
Were intimidation tactics
used in the investigation?
No.
- Did anything not follow protocol?
- No.
What about the accusation
about manipulated evidence?
It was not manipulated.
So he lied, and then died?
He seemed to be so sure of himself.
I just checked myself, and it wasn't.
The police should be the ones
in a frenzy about this, not us.
Do you understand what you did wrong,
from the arrest to the evidence?
You dashed over last time,
too, because CEO Park called.
You sure have an arsenal of
ways of screwing me over.
I apologize.
CEO Park told me himself
that he'd joined forces
with Hwang Shi Mok.
You dashed over last time,
too, because CEO Park called.

But you knew that you'd be screwed over.

Oh, I'm sorry... oh!
Looks like we meet again.
I'm Lieutenant Han Yeo Jin.
Where's the Evidence Room?
What?
Are you reinvestigating the case?
Why, is there something
that's standing out to you?
Are you worried because of
the angry letter he wrote?
You should be the one worrying,
since you ruined everything.
How did I ruin everything?
You tried to take care of
the case all on your own.
Looks like you haven't heard
from Sergeant Kim yet.
Heard about what?
He seemed to be worried
because of the DNA test results.
What DNA test results--
What results?
Why are you asking me this
when Yongsan requested it?
What did Sergeant Kim say?
Like, word for word.
"This is driving me crazy."
Oh, this is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?
"Why did I leave this to that woman?"
Huh?
Excuse me.
I don't know anything else besides that.
No, it's not about that.
Excuse me.
Goodness. Goodness!
Oh my... what kind of--
Oh, Lieutenant!
Oh, yes?
Have you seen Sergeant Kim?
He's back? I actually need to--
Detective Seo said he saw him,
but now I can't find him anywhere.
Oh, do you want to go to
the pub nearby and have some...
Oh, right now, I...
Don't drink too much.
All right.
How did you know the lock pattern?
Hey, why do you keep
ignoring what I'm saying? Huh?
What's this?
I'm the one who called

What about this?

Did he call to arrange a meeting?
Hey, come on.
Why won't you answer me?

Is that someone you know?
CEO Park told me himself
that he'd joined forces

I asked you if you know them.
He called him right after he was
done speaking to you, Prosecutor.
Do you know this person?
Huh?
I asked you if you know him!
What, you think I
don't have hands? Huh?
I'm sure they would've
searched his phone first
if the investigation
hadn't ended so soon.
The person you are trying to call cannot
be reached. Please leave a voicemail--
[Seoul Western Prosecutor?s Office]
Mr. Kang, who was imprisoned
for the incident in Huam-dong
took his own life at the
Namdo Detention Center...
Those guys are always complaining
that they've been shafted.
They did it to themselves, after all.
But to go that far...
is that guy crazy?
Who is it? Lieutenant Han?
Yes.
No! I didn't do it!
Oh, you're here, ma'am?
None of this is true!
Why are you lying?
He was already dead when I got there!
Mr. Kang insisted that the
evidence was manipulated
and wrote a letter expressing
how angry and wronged he felt.
Hey, turn that off!
Ugh, I'm so sick of this already.
Now there are doubts
surrounding the investigation.
At least the prosecutors are the ones
getting blamed for this case, though.
It's only fair that
that happens sometimes, too.
I salute you.
What happened with the
test results you got yesterday?
What results?
What happened to the DNA test of
the blood sample from Huam-dong?
Oh... that?
Well, that...
they said that it wasn't
a person's blood.
It's was dog blood. A dog's blood.
But...
He seemed to be worried
because of the DNA test results.
"This is driving me crazy.
Why did I leave this to that woman?"
- All right.
- Yeah.
All right, then.
Let's take care of this quickly.
- Here.
- Hurry it up!
Be careful with those! Every page
is made of my blood and sweat!
Oh, Prosecutor Hwang.
Oh, that? This is the new
Special Regulatory Team.
Oh, I see.
What about the media briefing?
I'm heading there now.
I bet people are
going to go crazy for you
when they see our
beautiful prosecutor on TV.
Just remember what I told you.
Find a spot to focus on,
and look only at that.
You'll seem less confident
if your eyes dart around.
And don't move your hands too much.
I'll make good use of
what you've told me.
Good luck.
I've decided to include Young Eun Soo
in my Special Regulatory Team.
This is how you train your juniors.
Not by making them do
small, menial chores.
Oh, is that right?
A person should be made to
clean up after their own shit.
[National Forensics Service]
[The Power of Science
to Reveal the Truth]
Firstly...
I would like to offer my condolences
for the unfortunate loss of a life.
However, the deceased
Kang Jin Seop's statement is groundless
and we, the prosecution, never
manipulated the evidence, even a little.
We would like to formally announce
to the citizens of this country
that the trial was
carried out fairly on our part.
Thank you.
It was Park Moo Sung's blood.
Park Moo Sung's blood was
found in such an unexpected place.
The deceased Mr. Kang Jin Seop could
not withstand the conditions within jail
and had tried to
take his life once before.
And as I'd mentioned beforehand
to link the deceased's death
[Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
to the Seoul Western Prosecutor's Office
is incredibly illogical.
How will Seoul Western
take care of this matter?
- Does that mean that the prosecution...
- Is it true that...
[National Forensics Service]
[Sergeant Kim]
The evidence...
the video that we saw here
on the day of Kang Jin Seop's trial.
It was manipulated by
the prosecution, wasn't it?
Why did you go to
Park Moo Sung's house?
What kind of relationship
did you have with him?
And what's with Sergeant Kim?
Why are you mentioning Sergeant Kim?
What is the reason for
trying to hide the true criminal
to the point of lying to me
about the blood test results?
Answer me.
Are you sure you're okay
not knowing what I found out?
Park Moo Sung was a "sponsor."
He provided money,
women, and so much more.
But when someone like him
ended up becoming poor
all the wine-and-dine sessions
that he'd paid for
only yielded contempt and scorn
from those he'd serviced.
So, what do you think happened next?
So he was murdered for
blackmailing powerful people?
And the true criminal is
someone among them?
Sergeant Kim knows that, too.
The reason Park Moo Sung
wanted to meet me on that day
was because he wanted to show me
the evidence of their corruption.
But when I told Sergeant Kim that he
was a personal acquaintance, he laughed.
Why's that?
Because he thought that
I'd accepted bribes, too.
If Sergeant Kim had truly been
unaware of Park Moo Sung's true identity
could he possibly have linked a guy
in his 50s living alone in an old home
who'd died in sweats,
to someone involved in bribery?
So Sergeant Kim accepted
bribes from him, too?
No.
He's not important enough for that.
Judging from his first impression
of Park Moo Sung
it seemed that he didn't
even know what he looked like.
It's probably someone
who is higher up than him.
What are you saying?
What do you take us for?
So you're saying they killed him
and the higher-ups said to cover it up,
so the lower-ranked people did?
What do you take us police officers for?
A detective who specialized in
cases related to the economy
was recently caught conning people,
and was brought over to us.
Well, that's...
not relevant to this.
Park Moo Sung's laptop,
which was in his room, disappeared.
Because it was taken from
the scene as evidence.
Did you see a laptop in the
box of evidence yesterday?
It wasn't on the police's
list of evidence at all.
I'm sure they were trying to
find the list of those bribed
just as the higher-ups ordered
because nobody would know that it'd
disappeared if they put it back later.
There's a list of people
who received bribes, too?
It's your turn now.
What did you find?
[National Forensic Service
DNA Test Result]
[Sample 1 and Sample 2
are a 99.99 percent match]
Where did you get this?
From the house behind the victim's.
A place Kang Jin Seop
didn't go anywhere near.
Someone else got it on there.
The true culprit is someone else.
You're not even surprised.
Did you know about this too?
Did you know about
all of this, Prosecutor?
Is that why you blamed
the wrong person and--
Who was the one who
manipulated the evidence?
Was it you?
Or the prosecutor
who was at the trial?
Did you really fabricate that video
to blame all of this on Kang Jin Seop?
The video...
Where are you going?
Prosecutor.
What's wrong with you, man?
Are you going to be okay?
Do you want me to drive instead?
Now there's no way that
the video could be real.
You're right.
It was manipulated.
I was deceived.
Deceived?
Are you saying that the person who
manipulated it was the culprit, then?
Who would go so far as to do that?
Why would they go so far as to do that?
Where did you find the blood sample?
Hey, you punk!
Why, you little!
Oh, here.
Thank you for this.
Way to return it in a timely fashion.
But, you know,
isn't this that person?
The one who is causing
an uproar by dying in jail?
Why do you keep leaving
your car parked here?
Do you just leave this
car parked here all the time?
The street is so narrow,
how else would I be able to park it?
How long has it been parked here?
How long? Well, since today.
It's the first day off
I've had in a couple of days.
January 16th was not
a day that you had off, was it?
But when I looked at the footage,
the car remained parked all day.
Well, that's...
Looks like he got caught
drunk driving.
You weren't able to
work on that day, were you?
What are you--
Someone reported me
for refusing them a ride!
I had to pay a 400,000 won fine
because of that curly-haired bastard!
"Curly-haired"?
He looked like a middle-aged lady,
and he was drunk as hell!
What date and time was this? And where?
The incident you received
a report back in January about.
Well, um... Yeongdeungpo Station.
And the date was... uh...
At any rate, the day I was put on
probation was January 13th, I think.
January 13th?
All right.
Wow, that guy... I bet he's
well-loved wherever he goes.
Sir, did you see anyone
passing by behind that house
on the day the incident occurred?
Or jumping over the fence
into that house?
Even if they went through the front
entrance, I would've forgotten by now.
Yes.
If you remember anything, by any chance
please give me a call.
Thank you.
That's the house that I discovered
the blood sample from.
If you look at this here...
The steel bars over there.
Prosecutor.
This is the reason he
didn't go through here
but jumped over the fence to
the house where the dog was instead.
This one's broken, though.
How did you know that?
It's the type that has a red light
that turns on when it's on.
The culprit probably didn't know
that it didn't work.
If he didn't, he would've gone
straight to Park Moo Sung's house.
But then he would've been
caught on the taxi's dash cam.
And just how did he know about that?
I'm sure he did some preliminary scouting
and saw the cab with a dash cam.
He knew that much, but didn't know
that this CCTV camera was broken?
Maybe he just took
everything at face value?
These steel bars here.
This is where I found the blood.
He jumped this way from there,
and then went that way, I believe.
That was thrown away
after the incident occurred.
I think that what the culprit
climbed up on that day
was the recyclable garbage
that was put outside that week.
Oh, I would've found some clues if I'd
done some additional investigating.
It was right in front of my face.
And if I'd done some extra legwork,
I might even have found a witness.
Is it possible for us to find out
who reported the taxi driver?
What, the person who reported him
for refusing them a ride?
Are you saying that person
is related to this, too?
Because it was on January 13th?
So you think that person
got him put on probation
three days before the
incident on purpose?
It's possible.
What do you mean, it's possible?
That means that
whoever reported him
is the culprit, or an
accomplice, at least.
So then, he would've had to
make sure the camera was there
and calculate that Kang Jin Seop
would be caught on camera at that time.
Wait, no. He had to have
broken his TV before that
and take that one cab among the many
cabs waiting at Yeongdeungpo Station
start a fight with the driver,
then report him.
All so that the prosecution could
use it as decisive evidence.
You really think that's possible?
We'll have to confirm.
Yeah.
Yes, this is Yeongdeungpo
Police Station, right?
I'd like to talk to the
Traffic Unit, please.
It took exactly 11 seconds for the bell
to ring, then the door to be opened.
A right-handed person.
There was a shallow stab wound in
his side, and his arm was scratched.
The fatal blow was in his neck.
- Is anyone home?
- 37 seconds.
In 37 seconds, Kang Jin Seop
had to have been inside the house
and have witnessed the murder scene.
If the culprit hadn't killed
Park Moo Sung after opening the door
but opened the door after killing him...
Please, spare me!
The timing still doesn't make sense.
There's only one other possibility, then.
When the doorbell rang...
Park Moo Sung had already been dead.
[Taxi]
What... are you doing?
You're not Park Moo Sung.
Who are you?
What are you doing?
Anything about the person
who reported the cab driver?
You mean the curly-haired guy?
Is he an actual person?
Yes, I talked to him.
I'm sure of this.
Oh.
Hey! Put that down.
Why did you look at the
call history of a dead person?
Because I could not allow
myself to be used.
Used?
If I hadn't come here at that time
and the investigation hadn't
been concluded so quickly
we would have found the clues
that the true criminal left behind.
Are you blaming yourself for this?
Do you think I came here
on that day by chance?
Or do you think that was
all a part of the plan, too?
The plan?
If he'd planned that, the real
culprit would've had to know
that you'd be here on that day.
Wait a second.
There's that person he called
right after speaking to you.
LCJ.
Then, LCJ is--
It's the deputy chief prosecutor
from my office.
What?
Wait, so, the deputy chief prosecutor
was the one who shut Park Moo Sung up
and also let the real criminal go free?
Now he's free to beat me down
as much as he wants to
since there's evidence that the
arrest was improperly handled.
Do you understand what you did wrong,
from the arrest to the evidence?
Is that what he meant?
The deputy chief prosecutor
only answers to the chief prosecutor.
So why did he go to such lengths?
Just how much corruption
is he involved in, then?
I don't know.
You don't know either, Prosecutor?
What do you mean?
I don't know what, exactly?
You should strike first, Prosecutor.
Why not? They were the ones
controlling everything.
Because this is only an
assumption as of now.
Because he's only one of the many
potential suspects who knew the victim.
Let's go.
Excuse me.
If it's just a coincidence that
Kang Jin Seop came here at that time...
the culprit could have been you.
If you'd gotten here a few minutes
earlier than Kang Jin Seop
you could've very well
said the same thing.
That you came in
because the door was open
but the victim was already dead.
And if that's the case...
Because I could not allow
myself to be used.
That's what you meant by...
"being used," wasn't it?
We don't know anything yet.
Just like how we can't
see anything right now.
We just have to turn
the light on, then.
We'll figure this out.
[DNA Test Results]
Who should I report this to?
I can't exactly go to the chief
directly about this. Ugh.
Your police chief and our
deputy chief are friends.
They're not the type of people
who will get scared of the outburst
that will come when it's revealed that
Kang Jin Seop died an innocent man.
They're probably just glad that their
sponsor died without any slip-ups
and now they can all relax
thanks to you, Lieutenant.
They just want to cover this up
as quickly as they can.
There may be no such thing
as a perfect crime
but there are tons of unsolved crimes.
I'm sure they don't care that one
measly murderer is still at large.
The entire Violent Crimes Unit
will be shaken up by this.
We caught the culprit
and put him in jail.
But he died, and now the
whole country knows about it.
But we have to be the ones
to admit that he was innocent.
So you want to cover this up
like Sergeant Kim did?
What about you, Prosecutor?
Will you be okay even if
this news becomes public?
Me?
You'll probably be the one to
suffer most of all due to this.
We're people whose job it is
to search for the truth, aren't we?
You managed to dig up a fact
that was completely buried.
But right now isn't the time to decide
whether to preserve it or not.
What kind of person was
Han Yeo Jin up until now?
All of this depends on that.
Drop me off here.
What kind of person was
Han Yeo Jin up until now?
All of this depends on that.
[Prisoner Who Committed Suicide]
[Prisoner Who Committed Suicide
Revealed to be Innocent]
- Ma'am.
- Yes?
When that person comes,
tell them I'll be late today.
SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
I'm sure you all remember Mr. Kang, who
was convicted for the Huam-dong murder
and subsequently
committed suicide in jail.
Before the shock of this situation
could properly settle
reports that he may not
have truly been guilty surfaced.
Mr. Kang's rage-filled letter
claimed that he was not the murderer
and that the prosecutor in charge of
his case manipulated the evidence.
His claims are now being investigated
to see whether or not they are true.
Criticisms toward the police
and prosecution are pouring in
after the police and prosecution
acknowledged their mistake.
And due to this, Mr. Kang's case has
become engulfed in more confusion.
I did it for us, and for my co-workers!
Everyone is cursing us out,
talking about how incompetent we are!
I thought that it'd put a lot of
people in danger if I put this out there!
We could've just announced this
after I caught the culprit.
You couldn't wait that long?
If what you did was really
for the sake of your co-workers
you should've revealed this
so we could investigate together.
How could you say that
human blood was dog blood?
- How could you?
- Shut it!
Do you take all of your seniors as fools?
Why would we report something about
an ongoing investigation to the press?
And you, idiot.
Are you out of your mind?
What the hell were you planning to do
by sitting on this important intel?
Did you want the catch the
criminal and become the hero?
Why are you being like this
to me too, sir?
I wouldn't have done this
if Kang Jin Seop were fine!
But he's dead now, and now it
turns out that he wasn't guilty!
What was I supposed to do?
Were you going to let him stay a murderer
since he's dead, anyway?
It's not like acquitting him
would bring him back.
It's not like clearing his name
would revive him.
He died because he felt so wronged!
How wronged would someone
have to feel to hang himself?
And when he has a baby, at that?
You think he's the only one?
There are tons of people
who feel wronged in jail.
Ugh, that dead guy was an idiot.
Hey! You...
How could you...
possibly say that, as a cop?
You're both terrible.
You're both on probation!
Don't you dare do anything!
And stay out of my sight!
Get out of here!
What?
What?
Team Leader, do you...
What about me?
Never mind.
Give me the laptop you
took from the scene.
What?
The laptop you took
from Park Moo Sung's house.
Why are you hiding it?
What do you mean, hiding it--
You went back to the scene and took it.
I already know, so hand it over.
Oh, come on. It's not because
I was being greedy or anything.
I was just so busy that I forgot to
register it in the list of evidence.
I mean, I have a laptop right here, too!
There wasn't anything on there, anyway.
[Prosecutor Hwang]
Koani-chan?
What?
Oh, it's nothing.
I found Park Moo Sung's laptop.
But I think that this is his son's.
There wasn't a computer
in his son's room.
What?
It makes no sense for a kid
his age to not have a computer.
Park Moo Sung was using it
while his son was in the army.
Okay. At any rate,
I'll leave it to the Cyber Unit.
And I'll make sure they recover
everything, including deleted files.
If the criminal left it behind,
I'm sure there's nothing much on there.
Geez, figures.
Doesn't even ask if I'm okay, even though
he definitely knows how things are here.
Ugh, what a piece of work.
But why didn't they take the laptop
if they did this because of the bribery?
He turned the entire house
into a mess, after all.
Maybe they checked this
after they killed him?
- She's here!
- She's here!
Is it true that you
manipulated the evidence?
- When was this revealed?
- Did you know about this?
Do you know you're being
called the "Murdering Prosecutor"?
You're the daughter of former
minister Young Il Jae, correct?
Is your father aware
of this situation?
Get out of my face!
You sure are arrogant for someone
who left his junior for dead.
Um, is Prosecutor Seo...
He's out right now.
There are some documents
I gave to him by mistake.
Can you tell him that
I'm taking them back?
Sure.
[Special Regulatory Team

[Special Regulatory Team
Targeting Prostitution]
- Prosecutor Hwang is here.
- What?
What are you doing?
I thought some of my documents
got mixed in there, but they didn't.
I'm sorry.
Why would your documents be here?
What kind of nonsense is this
after you were caught snooping?
Is this something so important
that it's worth snooping on?
I didn't know.
Why, you little...
Hey, if you have time to be
spinning these kinds of lies
go outside and tell the truth.
Go outside and tell them, like a man
whose carelessness caused this
to happen to Young Eun Soo!
All right, I'll do that.
Hey!
What were you digging around
for in my office?
What were you spying on me for, huh?
What are you doing?
Why are you doing this here?
There are tons of reporters
outside, so do it there.
That way, everyone will know that
Prosecutor Unit 3 is a damned joke!
- I apologize.
- I apologize.
So, did he see it?
Do you really think that
I'd let him do that, sir?
I don't think he saw.
You think?
He didn't see.
But...
he searched my office
right in front of me.
This is a declaration of war.
And it's all his fault that our office
is being blamed so much.
Fire him immediately, sir.
He dug his own grave, so he won't
be able to say anything about it.
We've been scheduled
for an internal audit.
Manipulation of evidence, concealment,
incompetence, forceful investigation.
They're going to investigate
us for all of those things.
Does this mean that we
won't have to do anything?
Are you seriously asking that?
We're done for if
Hwang Shi Mok opens his mouth.
We should have concluded
this matter with Kang Jin Seop.
Will there be any way for us
to avoid the internal audit?
The chief prosecutor is
really on edge right now
and we've caused a lot of
trouble for him, too.
Do you really think
he'd help us now?
What about my secret investigation, then?
Look one way, and row another.
I'm going to provoke Hwang Shi Mok.
Court Prosecutor Young Eun Soo...
She's become a public figure
due to the media briefing.
It's a shame, but she'll have
to shoulder the blame.
Why should she have to shoulder
the blame for someone else?
What about Hwang Shi Mok, then?
Are you just going to let him be?
How did that go, by the way?
Did you find any traces?
Um, I'm doing my best to search, but...
How many more people
do you have to arrest
to finally make some progress,
despite our country being so small?
Do you think I assigned you this so
you could hang out with some girls?
I apologize, sir.
I thought it'd be more difficult to find
them if they weren't in that industry.
They're Park Moo Sung's hidden card.
They definitely work in that industry.
I'll find them soon.
Please wait just a bit longer.
Send Hwang Shi Mok in.
Yes, sir.
[Stop her!]
[Murdering Prosecutor]
[Even her dad was
involved in corruption.]
[Her entire family is a joke.]
Yeah, Mom?
Mom, what's the matter?
Why are you being like this too, Mom?
Why would Dad die?
I'll be right there, okay?
Yes, Chief?
Come to Haerangwon.
- Jjajangmyun, please.
- Yes, sir.
I'm sure you know Section Chief Lee.
And this is Director Im, a businessman.
- You've seen his face before, right?
- Yes.
You're getting an internal audit.
Oh... yes, sir.
You knew? It was just announced, though.
No, I didn't.
Just give it time.
You'll get used to him eventually.
They may be calling this an audit
but they're probably
doing this to get rid of you.
Are you angry about it?
No, sir.
Want me to order you some
sweet and sour pork, or something?
- This might be our last.
- Come on, that's all you're offering?
Buy him some
stir-friend seafood, at least.
Why would I do that?
It's not like I like him.
You have something to say, don't you?
No. Why?
Why are you asking me
when you already know?
Because I don't know.
Here's your order.
Do you have no common sense,
or just no respect?
We should let him eat, at least.
Um, excuse me.
Yes? Yes.
I understand.
I apologize, but I must go.
Oh, geez.
It would've been better
if we hadn't bothered to tell him.
Want some?
Eat up.
Sure.
[Korean Law Enforcement Has Exhibited
an Extreme Amount of Incompetence]
Did you want to see me, sir?
Did you have a good little excursion?
Prosecutor Hwang.
Yes, Deputy Chief?
We've been scheduled
for an internal audit.
I see.
At least one person
will lose their job over this.
They won't ever be able to work as
a government worker, or at a law firm.
They won't even be able
to work in law ever again.
It's too bad. I'm sure it hasn't been
long since you bought your apartment.
And I'm sure you have
a lot of loans to pay off.
You know that the chief prosecutor is
trying to become an assemblyman, right?
All that's left now is his announcement.
And that vacant position will go to me.
I'm 99 percent sure of it.
Congratulations, sir.
Congratulations to you too,
Prosecutor Hwang.
Because I, your immediate superior
and deputy chief prosecutor...
will make you the section chief
of Prosecutor Unit 3.
But you said that at least one
person would be fired, sir.
That I did.
Is it going to be Young Eun Soo?
What about Seo Dong Jae?
Was it about eight years ago?
He couldn't help his bad habit
and hid an important piece of
evidence until the end of the trial.
He got into a lot of trouble for that.
Do you know what he said to me then?
He said that his
junior prosecutor did that
and that he wouldn't respond
to anything he said to him.
He thought that the guy had
something wrong with his head.
And I believed him.
But you know...
it turned out that the
so-called crazy junior of his...
had the most brilliant
brain among us all.
SUBTITLES BY DRAMAFEVER / SA143
I saw something interesting
in the court record.
Seo Dong Jae was the
one who brought forth
the dash cam footage
in the middle of the trial again.
All right.
All the ingredients are prepped now.
Shall we begin cooking?
[Korean Law Enforcement Has Exhibited
an Extreme Amount of Incompetence]
You have to be different.
You have to be different
from that certain someone...
and protect your own
junior prosecutor, right?
What do you mean by that, sir?
The one whose name is out there
is Young Eun Soo.
There's no use in being stubborn.
You should just die
along with Young Eun Soo.
I...
did not know...
CEO Park.
Do you understand?
Hansung Love Resort, Suite 1008.
Shall I say that you don't know
anything about that either, sir?
I'll assume that you
understand what I'm getting at.
The position of Section Chief
isn't quite enough.
I like this, right here.
Give me this position.
Is this who you truly were all along?
A guy who only cares
about being promoted?
I will follow you
on the path you walk, sir.
Please lead the way.
And after that?
Drag me along.

Park Moo Sung was blackmailed
via phone the day before he died.
Do you think that person is the culprit?
The person Park Moo Sung met last?
They used an office phone
to disguise their number.
They're not the culprit.
They're an accomplice.
Why did they kill him?
Was this your doing, CEO Park?
No, sir.
Do you know of a way to turn the tables?
Find someone to blame this on.
Where were you at the time

You will have to deal with the

I will definitely arrest the criminal.
I will accept being dismissed.
