Forest of Secrets (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 14 - Episode #2.14 - full transcript
ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
Why don't they listen?
It clearly says, "Do not enter."
Over there!
This was our first trip
since starting college.
-I was so drunk
-Hey!
I didn't even know
my friends had gone out.
Tongyeong?
And Prosecutor Seo called the survivor?
According to him,
it wasn't the first time
that Prosecutor Seo called him.
Mr. Kim Hu-jeong.
You know Prosecutor Seo, right?
EPISODE 14
Hey, friend!
Open up, will you?
We know you're here.
Jeez, this is so freaking slow.
Hey, turn up the volume!
I'll do it myself.
Hey, let go.
Gosh, it's freezing.
-You said it was close!
-Get off of me!
My friends…
They went to the beach,
but they're gone.
I think they drowned.
They had been drinking.
I can't find them.
Help me.
Please help me.
Where is he? Tell me where he is!
Hey, you won't tell us?
You bastard…
Tell me right now!
GWANGJIN-GU, GUUI-DONG
SEODAEMUN-GU
The music store, Gangnam Station.
STRIKE MULTIPAD
GANGDONG-GU, GIL-DONG
The whole room smells of bleach.
That means he cleaned the room
very recently.
So it's possible that
he moved Prosecutor Seo recently.
One of these is the route
he used to move Prosecutor Seo.
Track these in reverse order.
Did you ever notice
the color of the soil looking different
on one spot when you got home?
No, never.
Could he have buried him somewhere here
when we weren't home?
Any weird noises?
Or did you ever smell a rotting stench
coming from downstairs?
No.
But I caught a strong whiff of bleach,
and it gave me a headache.
When?
Was it yesterday morning?
I came out,
and the whole place reeked of bleach.
My gosh, does that mean… That is horrible.
Did you not ask the tenant
where the smell was coming from?
He told her that he used bleach
for mold in his room.
If he used bleach yesterday morning,
it means the body was moved
shortly before that.
But with some GPS systems,
the information gets deleted very quickly.
Call the GPS company and ask for
the full log. They should have it stored.
That will take too long.
What if he was barely breathing?
It's possible that he tossed him out
because he had already passed that stage.
Right, see you later.
-Good luck.
-Thank you.
The floor pattern doesn't match.
It's not the same floor we saw
in the photo that we received.
And there's no glass table.
That photo…
I don't think it was taken here.
This won't change anything, okay?
You can't get out of this.
We found bloodstains in your room
as well as in your car.
Your car is a new model.
GPS systems these days still send data
to the company even if they're turned off.
Everything from the locations
to when it was used or left idling, even.
What I'm saying is,
we will find out where you've been
even if you stay silent.
If he's found in one of the places
in your GPS log,
then there's really no way out for you.
Tell us before that happens.
Where is Prosecutor Seo?
-Hello?
-Mr. Kim Hu-jeong?
This is the Uijeongbu District
Prosecutors' Office.
I'm not interested.
This isn't voice phishing.
This is Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.
You remember me, right? We spoke
on the phone regarding the Tongyeong case.
Then let me ask you this.
You have to answer this question, okay?
Is Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae alive?
Is he dead?
Is that why you moved his body
and removed all the traces?
Hey!
So you don't even know if he's alive?
No, that's why
I can't go back to the office now.
May I take the rest of the day off?
-Where are you now?
-Bogwang-dong, sir.
I'm headed to the suspect's place.
Forget about the day off.
Just get him to confess.
I wish I could threaten to kill him.
Prosecutor Hwang?
Because he ignored your order
and caught the culprit?
No, the culprit.
I never imagined he'd be the culprit.
Right?
Anyway, it's all over now.
We finally caught him.
Yes, it's him.
He lived in the room on the top floor
until recently.
Then do you recall
seeing these students as well?
Do you know
if they used to visit him often?
I'm not sure.
I'm just a tenant here,
so I had no reason to go up to his floor.
He only lived here for a short while
and moved out suddenly,
so I rarely saw him anyway.
-He moved out suddenly?
-Yes.
He only lived here for a month or two.
I remember the landlord telling me one day
that he'd moved out.
I didn't even know before that.
Do you know why he had to move out
all of a sudden?
He signed the lease
on the coldest day of the year.
Apparently, he said his room was too cold.
The landlord complained
that the room was only cold
because it was winter.
He should have done some repairs
if the place was too cold.
Is there a famous restaurant
in the neighborhood that delivers food?
A place that does their own delivery.
Yes, of course.
The fried chicken place
where my kids always order from.
Are you hungry?
KIM HU-JEONG'S ACQUAINTANCES
They were the ones
that drowned in Tongyeong?
Hu-jeong was the quiet type.
He got good grades,
and his family was well-off.
That made him a perfect target.
Have they been close since middle school?
I was actually surprised they kept
in touch even after getting into college.
-Hu-jeong!
-In eighth grade, Hu-jeong…
Hu-jeong, where are you?
Are you his guardian?
Why did you arrest my son
without a warrant and in broad daylight.
We arrested him without a warrant because
he tried to run away in broad daylight.
His charges include kidnapping, murder,
and abandoning a corpse.
You obviously have the wrong person.
At least make it sound believable
if you want to pin it on him!
He just turned 20. And what?
"Murder"? "Abandoning a corpse"?
He turned down an admission offer
from Seoul National University
because he got into Yonsei University
with a full scholarship!
I'm sorry, but we're interviewing him now.
Also, the suspect is an adult,
so we're not required
to have his guardian accompany him.
How dare you call him a suspect?
Who approved this?
-Who's in charge?
-I am.
SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I used to work at the Supreme Office too.
Which class were you?
I am his father,
but I'm also here as his attorney.
When you were in middle school,
you've made a confession
to your homeroom teacher.
You told him that you were being bullied
by your classmates. The two of them.
But what was the outcome?
The teacher had the two sit next to you,
so the three of you could become friends.
So the 15-year-old Kim Hu-jeong
had to be seated with his two bullies
all day long
even though they hit him, mocked him,
and ordered him around.
The two of them took turns each week
to bully you.
How dare you… None of it is true.
My son was never bullied.
Come to think of it,
maybe the teacher told them…
I think he tried to warn
those guys who drowned in Tongyeong.
"I know what's going on.
I'm watching you guys."
The entire school had heard that Hu-jeong
told the teacher he was being bullied.
Maybe that was the teacher's strategy.
But what about Hu-jeong?
How were they supposed to become close?
It's impossible.
Whether you go to college or the beach,
you can't become close.
Well, why is this brought up
right now anyway?
Even if there was… Fine.
Let's say he was bullied.
But you mentioned murder and kidnapping.
But those two kids drowned.
Because there's a possibility
that he shoved them into the water.
They were enemies, not friends.
You tell them.
Were they your friends or enemies?
Tell them.
Friends.
We became close.
Middle school was years ago.
It's long ago. It's more than enough
time for them to bond.
Why did you get him a room in Bogwang-dong
when you live in a fancy apartment
in Gwangjin-gu.
More importantly…
Hu-jeong, why did you move out
in less than a month?
Look, Detective. He wanted to live
in that building in Bogwang-dong
but ended up moving out
because he didn't like it at all.
Is that a crime? This is ridiculous.
I can't believe you're interrogating him
about breaking his lease.
I heard you used to order
garlic chicken often.
Seriously?
What does garlic chicken
have to do with this?
Did they live there too?
Did they bring girls over as well?
How dare you…
It was a complete mess.
It looked like they drank every day.
-They ordered from us often.
-The chicken is here.
-Okay.
-Sometimes, I only saw guys.
Usually, it was him who came to the door.
But he wasn't there at times,
and it was just the others girls.
I told them to come over.
-The girls too?
-Yes.
You worked on your music there, right?
After you moved from Bogwang-dong
to Guui-dong,
did you tell them that you had moved?
No, I didn't--
You said they were your friends
and you were close.
If you were close enough
to go on a trip together,
why didn't you tell them
about moving so suddenly?
Whether they were friends or not,
what did he do wrong
and what is he responsible for--
This is about his motive.
We're asking him about his motive.
Hu-jeong.
Where were you on March 26,
between 7 to 11 p.m.?
Hey!
You took Prosecutor Seo there, didn't you?
Where is he now?
Prosecutor Seo?
It's not like you found his corpse there
or the murder weapon.
Because of a missing prosecutor,
you're trying to coerce this innocent boy
into confessing what he didn't even do
so that you can close the case!
I'm his father, a former prosecutor,
and an attorney.
Seeing how you treat him with me here
makes me wonder how many people
you've wrongly convicted.
Why did you turn off your dashcam?
Why did you remove it?
This is ridiculous.
Look, detectives.
A dashcam is considered private property.
He's not obligated to disclose footage,
and he may refuse to submit it.
We found bloodstains
on the floor and inside the closet.
Even inside the trunk.
We're not wrongfully accusing him.
That's from a dog.
I hit a dog with my car.
It's from that.
Then you should've taken the dog to a vet.
Why shove it in your closet?
Do you think
you're making sense right now?
I did take the dog to a vet
but was told that it wouldn't make it,
so I brought it back.
Where's the dog now?
It died.
-So where is it?
-I buried it.
Where?
Wait, I just remembered
that I'd tossed it.
Which veterinary clinic?
-I don't remember.
-Gosh, this punk…
A DNA analysis will tell us
whether or not it was human blood.
How dare you try to fool us?
This is not the time for this!
Where is Seo Dong-jae?
He must've scrubbed the floor real hard.
And he used all kinds of bleach.
The blood is so contaminated
that they're not sure
if they'll find any DNA.
So the question is not
whether we can find whose blood it is,
but they might not even know
if it's human blood?
And he obviously knows that.
That's why he's so confident.
First, let's separate the suspect
from his father.
If we let his father stay with him,
he won't even say a word.
We've caught the culprit,
but we don't have any evidence.
Darn it. I'm sure we're so close.
Did they tell you why you were arrested?
-Yes.
-Did they say that you have the right
to an attorney and can explain yourself?
-Yes.
-Look at me, Hu-jeong.
Look at me!
Do not say a word.
No matter what they tell you.
I'll take care of everything,
so don't do anything. Got it?
Yes.
Even if the prosecutor
requests an arrest warrant,
you can be released
because they don't have
solid evidence against you.
No, I'll make sure
their warrant request is denied.
They can't arrest you.
So you must not tell them anything.
That is your right.
-Do you understand?
-Yes.
Ignore everything they tell you.
They're just small fries.
Let's go.
Do you believe it's dog blood?
Of course. Why wouldn't I believe
my son's words?
That you were being bullied…
We found bloodstains
on the floor and inside the closet.
Even inside the trunk.
I'm calling you because it's very urgent.
The fact that a prosecutor is missing
isn't important.
We've made an emergency arrest
but we may have to let him go
because of his attorney.
No, he definitely is the culprit.
We'll be screwed if we let him go.
I refuse to be blamed for losing him
because of the ambiguous DNA results.
Please help me out.
Thanks. I'm counting on you.
Sir.
Prosecutor Hwang just told me
about the situation.
This isn't abuse of authority--
Right, but--
Yes.
I'll tell him to be careful.
Yes, sir.
I apologize for causing you concern.
Yes, sir.
Those bastards!
What is it this time?
Do you know Judge Kim Gyu-man
at the Supreme Court?
No.
The suspect's father
went to Kim Gyu-man and threw a fit.
So he called the person
in charge of issuing warrants,
then he called
the deputy prosecutor general.
Which suspect?
Seo Dong-jae's case.
He told us not to issue the warrant
because the prosecutor in charge
can't remain subjective
because he's the victim's acquaintance.
He went on about how unfair it is
and that his son is being targeted.
Do you mean Hwang Si-mok?
It sounds like he's the one taking sides.
It's his son, but--
How dare he?
He isn't even my direct supervisor.
He's only my senior.
We still can't deny the warrant.
Did he think this would
make me get on my knees?
What does he take me for?
That's not important now.
What about the warrant?
They won't ask us to let him go.
-They might.
-What?
The judge at the National Assembly…
What was his name?
Doesn't he have seniority
over Kim Gyu-man?
Which class was he in?
I don't know.
I think he got in
just a few years before we did.
In that case…
Shin Jeong-ho must be his senior.
We can't deny the warrant.
-Is Shin Jeong-ho that judge?
-Yes.
Hello, sir. Do you have a moment?
I see. I'll make it quick, then.
Do you happen to know Judge Kim Gyu-man?
You've worked with him in the past?
Then he's your junior.
Right.
It's surrounded
by multiplex apartment buildings.
There are mountains and even a river
nearby.
Gosh, where could he have hidden him?
If we never find his body…
Where could he be?
Hello?
Yes.
The GPS log.
Yes, okay.
He was near Seongsu-dong 1-ga
at 3 a.m. today.
It's the most recent record
except for his visit
to the music store in the afternoon.
It's the perfect time to move the body
without being seen.
That must be it, then.
The place smelled like bleach
because he started cleaning after that.
But even the floor at his parent's place
is different from the one in the photo.
It's right by the Han River.
Darn it. So is it the Han River then?
I see mountains too.
Also, Seoul Forest and a creek.
Gosh, this is nuts.
It won't be easy to
find Prosecutor Seo there.
Jeez, this is ridiculous.
Hey.
Over here.
Is this the right spot?
He couldn't have tossed it here
even at 3 a.m.
He stopped here for about two minutes.
Seoul Forest is about
ten minutes away on foot.
But he wouldn't have carried the body
from all the way here.
If he pulled his car over
for just two minutes,
it means he chucked something and ran off.
Let's find out.
Maybe it's under a staircase somewhere.
We've already looked everywhere
but found nothing.
We checked that earlier. It's not there.
CLOTHING DONATIONS
My gosh. Hold on.
Hey, bring whatever tool we have. Hurry.
Gosh, hold on.
Gosh, darn it!
-He's got something.
-Hey, open this up.
Here.
Give me a hand.
One, two, three.
Take them out. All of them.
-Gosh, it stinks.
-It's bleach.
Hey, just rip it open.
-Gosh.
-Jeez.
We won't get any DNA from this.
So he wasn't here to chuck the body.
It was before he came here.
He should have moved the body,
cleaned his place, then threw these out.
He could have cleaned his place naked.
Ask for the GPS log
for before he came here. All of it.
Yes, sir.
It took hours just to get this location.
Tell them it's a matter of life or death!
Did Prosecutor Seo tell you
when and how he started suspecting you?
I have something to ask you.
Do you have some time today?
No, I'm busy today.
And I already told you everything.
It's not about that.
I just need to check something.
What do you need to check?
What about tomorrow? Let's talk in person.
Where would be good?
Shall I come to your place?
No.
That's okay.
Then where?
Are you familiar with Itaewon?
It's rare to see long-term repression
caused by bullying
turn into violent retaliation.
In most cases,
victims resort to self-harm.
Some say that happens because
they've completely surrendered mentally,
but I personally think
they do that while waiting
for their last recourse.
Time.
"This will end when I graduate.
The bullying will end
the day I can cut all ties with them."
They go so far as to hurt themselves
to wait for that day to come.
Hey, friend. You've hurt our feelings.
Seriously.
Did you think
we wouldn't be able to find you?
This place is huge.
Jeez, this place is much bigger.
Sounds like all you know
about bullying is from books.
I've forgotten how it felt,
but I still remember the experience.
You've finally become an adult.
You're attending a university
your father is proud of
with a full scholarship.
A decent adult, shall I say?
But what has changed?
You've not been able to take
a single step forward
from being the teenage boy
who used to be bullied.
You had
nothing to wait for,
so you decided not to wait.
Hey, friend.
What took you so long?
You kept us waiting for so long.
The keys.
Did you really sell my computer
and equipment?
Hey, did you just grab my wrist?
I'm sorry, friend.
We sold them for some money.
Are you angry?
Sorry, friend.
You should have lent us the money
when we asked you.
I even bought you those shoes.
You did, but I had no clothes
to wear with these.
Just tell me who you sold them to.
Everything I worked on is on my computer.
I'll buy it back.
Wow, didn't you make any backups?
Unbelievable.
What's the point of getting good grades
when you're so stupid and useless?
We sold it online.
I'll find who bought it.
-Bring it back by Thursday.
-I told you we sold it.
No, I mean my car. I need to use it.
For what?
I want to go to the beach.
Hey, let's go with him.
-Should we take the girls?
-No!
I mean, I'm not that skilled
at driving yet. So we shouldn't.
Why take them?
There'll be loads of girls at the beach.
-You're ridiculous.
-Right.
Hey, friend. Book a nice hotel.
A hotel?
Pensions are better.
We can have a barbecue. Book a pension.
Are you really going to come?
You don't have come if you don't want to.
All right.
I'll let you come with me.
How did it feel?
Ending it with your own hands.
Don't say a word. Don't do anything.
I…
I don't know.
It wasn't me.
What about Prosecutor Seo?
Is he dead?
I don't know.
Kim Hu-jeong.
What did you do to him?
Answer me.
Did you stab him?
Did you choke him?
Cut him into pieces?
There are many cases of the suspect
being charged with murder
even when the body wasn't found
and the suspect denied everything.
We found traces of blood in your room,
and you fled when you saw a detective.
We also found your clothes.
The clothes you had to throw away
in a random neighborhood
at three in the morning.
Look.
We found traces of you
trying to remove the blood.
What did you do to him?
Tell me.
What did you do to Prosecutor Seo?
What did you do to him?
You'll be charged and sentenced
to jail for sure.
Whatever your father told you,
and no matter how long you keep quiet,
you can't escape it.
The only thing left is to decide
what you'll be charged with.
That depends on you.
Will it be three murders,
or will one be an attempted murder?
If he was alive last night,
he could still be alive.
Where is he?
Did you kill him?
Did he die a long time ago?
Did you abandon him when he was alive?
I don't know anything.
We got his internet history.
He watched the video we uploaded
dozens of times
and even left a comment
on the witness testimony.
Where are you taking him?
Stop lying.
If you really saw something,
why didn't you report it?
Why would you do that?
You're just an attention seeker. You wrote
the comment. You wrote it yourself.
-No!
-You're an attention-seeking jerk.
You…
Do this again, and we'll consider it
obstruction of justice.
You're his senior, not mine.
ON PUBLIC DUTY
It's near your studio, right?
You threw away your clothes nearby.
He must be nearby too.
Where is he?
I've wanted to make music
for a really long time.
My dad told me
he'd let me do whatever I wanted
if I make it into a good college.
So I studied really hard.
But it didn't end.
Even when I went to high school
and college, they kept following me.
When I first got my own studio,
I was so happy.
I felt like I was being compensated
for everything I'd gone through.
But
they appeared again
at my studio.
Where could I go next?
I needed a future.
Did you think it'd end if you killed them?
Is that why you went to the beach?
What did you do to Prosecutor Seo?
Was it a river or mountains?
Mountains.
I just…
threw him somewhere in the mountains.
I heard there was a letter
and that there was a witness,
so I got scared.
I've kept him in my closet.
I was too scared to do anything.
But after hearing about the witness,
I thought I had to do something
so I touched him,
but he wasn't moving.
He was already dead.
You kept him like that when he was
bleeding and unconscious?
What about food and water?
Did you give him water?
Where is he?
I don't know.
You dumped him. How could you not know?
It was dark,
and I couldn't tell what's what.
I hadn't decided where to go.
I was just driving to where
there weren't any people.
So I'm not sure…
I think it's around here.
Look carefully. Are you sure this is it?
Look closely!
Hu-jeong…
Why… Why didn't you tell me?
I'm your dad.
We got the location.
It's halfway up Achasan.
Send as many search dogs and officers
as you can. The search area's really wide.
-Search thoroughly.
-Over here!
Over here.
-Look thoroughly.
-Be thorough!
Look everywhere.
-Take a closer look.
-It's nothing.
Let's go.
Move it!
Get a move on.
-Search up the hill.
-So this is the first search area.
The shoe doesn't belong to the victim.
Someone must've thrown it away.
There are a lot of trees.
He could be caught on a branch.
-Are you here?
-Step back.
All right!
Excuse me. Let that car in!
It's our equipment.
-Where did they come from?
-Keep them out.
How many did you bring?
We got two heat detectors
since it's nighttime.
We can use the others
if the search continues tomorrow.
Let it through.
You can't come in here.
Chief Choi.
-Yes.
-Are you coming from somewhere?
We didn't find any traces yet.
Are you even sure it's here?
The culprit isn't that sure of it.
That stupid jerk.
More to the right.
We can't go past that area
because of all the bushes.
-I see.
-So check there.
What?
What is that?
Is that helicam from a TV station?
Gosh. It's so loud!
It's interfering with our
search and rescue.
Did you get everything?
Yes, thank you.
The rescue scene is on the news right now.
Yes, I know. Can you send these over
the computer as well?
Yes, sir.
Are you all right?
Pardon?
I can't believe you already forgot.
You're old enough to do
your homework by yourself.
Okay, finish your homework
after you eat, okay?
I'm going to check later if you did it.
All right.
You should go home. I'll keep you updated.
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
You should head home.
You don't have to wait here.
Maybe I shouldn't say this
when someone's life is at stake,
but I used to be sick of doing this
back in the day.
You know what they say.
"Cases happen at the scene,
not at your desk."
I shouldn't have let it drag on
until we reached the scene.
One of the Tongyeong victims' father
said he couldn't buy his son
a pair of shoes.
He said his son said it was okay, and
that he could just get a part-time job.
I remember hearing that so clearly.
I should've used my brain.
It implied that he hadn't found a job yet.
Then where did he get
those expensive shoes?
If I had only thought of this back then…
I couldn't buy him these shoes.
But he said it was okay
and that he'd just get a part-time job.
Why didn't I think of that?
I think I heard something slipping.
-Is someone hurt?
-Was it over here?
There's something over here!
Over here!
Did you find him?
Did you find him?
-Where is it?
-What's going on?
-Where?
-Is that him?
I am here at the scene.
They are currently searching for
Prosecutor Seo who has been kidnapped…
Gyeong-jun…
Mom…
Gyeong-jun…
Don't let him watch the news.
Make sure he doesn't watch the news.
The news…
…related to the drowning in Tongyeong…
-Jeez. I can't see anything.
-Hey!
Did you find him?
Darn it.
-Bring your lights here.
-Lights!
Lights!
Slowly!
-Over there!
-Where?
-Over there!
-Where?
I can see him!
I think he's over there!
The rescue team is currently
pulling someone up from a slope
who is assumed to be Prosecutor Seo.
It is still unclear
whether he is alive or not.
The police will soon make an
official announcement…
UNCLEAR WHETHER HE IS ALIVE
Bring him up!
Keep your lights on them!
Over here!
Move aside.
Slowly!
Be careful!
Make way!
Be careful!
-Careful, now.
-Please, make way!
Clear this area of reporters and cars.
Please move! Let them pass!
Please stand back!
How did it go?
-Oxygen mask.
-Okay.
-Slowly.
-Right.
Wait!
-Let him lie down carefully.
-Okay.
This was tied around his wrists.
Why would you go this far?
Damn it.
What do you mean why?
MISSING PROSECUTOR RESCUED FROM ACHASAN
SENIOR INSPECTOR HAN
What is it?
Hang on.
Get that witness right now.
A fake letter and a fake witness report…
They were there for a reason.
This isn't a coincidence.
Could you drop me off…
You want us to stop?
Never mind.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR KANG WON-CHUL
Yes, sir.
What happened?
Is he alive?
Yes.
How is he?
He's unconscious right now.
He's in hypothermic shock
from the blood loss,
-and he had no water--
-He'll wake up, right?
Even if he does, there was
some impact when he fell.
He's suffered a shock from the fractures.
All right, then.
Okay. Great job.
All right, sir.
Who is it?
I live downstairs.
I think there's a water leak.
It's not my house.
There's a lot of water falling
into my house.
Could I check your laundry machine
or something?
At this hour?
Jeon Gi-hyeok, let's talk.
What's that?
What is it?
I WASHED THE DISHES
TOO LATE
I WASHED THE DISHES
TOO LATE
I threw him somewhere in the mountains.
I heard there was a letter…
He was just unlucky.
I decided not to do it.
I asked to see him,
but I tried to changed my mind.
Hey, Kim Hu-jeong!
It wouldn't have happened
if he had arrived a little later.
You really didn't send this?
Hey.
Come here, you jerk.
Come on!
I knew you lied for money,
but I didn't expect this.
Why was this at your house?
And the police watch? Did you
throw it away after taking the photo?
And the necktie. Did you buy it yourself?
What necktie?
The floor and the table. It's your house.
You took that photo at home.
What is that?
Don't play dumb.
You said that you watched the news
out of guilt after witnessing the scene.
There was a huge fuss about the culprit
sending the message.
And you're saying you've never seen this?
You should at least remember what you said
if you want to lie.
Come on. Floors like that
are really common in Korea.
You should've taken it outside
if you didn't want to get caught.
Were you afraid of people seeing you
but not of getting caught later?
All the houses in our building
have that floor.
Maybe someone there is the culprit.
Did everyone in your building
lie about witnessing the culprit?
What's your relationship
with Sergeant Baek?
Jeez, I told you I don't even know him.
Then who is it?
Who made you point him out as the culprit?
Nobody put me up to anything.
Why do you keep making up weird stories?
You little jerk.
You sent this and then claimed
you were a witness right after.
You made sure that the police watch
was shown, guising it as a mistake,
then pointed out a cop as the culprit.
How is this just a coincidence?
Who ordered you to do it?
I told you I did it for the money!
I admit it. Okay?
Why are you making such a fuss
about some floor pattern?
"Such a fuss"?
You must miss being in jail.
You want to go back there?
What…
Can you leave for a moment?
What? Why?
What's going on?
That jerk was smirking when you said
you'd send him back to jail.
He spent his whole life
cowering before the cops.
He must be so excited right now.
You remember me, don't you?
Don't you remember me?
You're the one who put on an act
with the license plate.
"An act"?
I've been working at
the Supreme Prosecutors' Office
for ten years now.
SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
After I put on the so-called "act,"
I received a strange phone call.
What call?
You don't need to know the details
of that call.
You have connections
with the prosecution, right?
Me?
What connections would I have?
I'm asking you
if I'll suffer any consequences
or be harmed
if I dig into this.
Let me know right now if you
have any connections with the prosecution.
Which office is it?
The central district office?
Oh, come on.
That's ridiculous.
I'm just a petty criminal.
Can't you tell?
All right, then.
If I end up
indicting you
and suffer some kind of a penalty
at the prosecution for that,
I'm coming back for you.
They told you that over the phone?
What else, then?
Well, I just meant…
Someone who died after drinking
wired money to three women
two days before his death?
We should find those people.
-You don't need to cover for them--
-I'm not covering for them.
Did she admit it?
The Criminal Legislation Division did this
to keep the investigative rights.
If it really is one of them,
who could it be?
Who was the third man
at the vacation home?
Hey!
Whether it's Woo Tae-ha or Kim Sa-hyun,
it doesn't matter.
I'll show you what it means
to have the authority to indict.
I'll indict you. I'll make you
a corrupt cop and a convict.

LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
Why don't they listen?
It clearly says, "Do not enter."
Over there!
This was our first trip
since starting college.
-I was so drunk
-Hey!
I didn't even know
my friends had gone out.
Tongyeong?
And Prosecutor Seo called the survivor?
According to him,
it wasn't the first time
that Prosecutor Seo called him.
Mr. Kim Hu-jeong.
You know Prosecutor Seo, right?
EPISODE 14
Hey, friend!
Open up, will you?
We know you're here.
Jeez, this is so freaking slow.
Hey, turn up the volume!
I'll do it myself.
Hey, let go.
Gosh, it's freezing.
-You said it was close!
-Get off of me!
My friends…
They went to the beach,
but they're gone.
I think they drowned.
They had been drinking.
I can't find them.
Help me.
Please help me.
Where is he? Tell me where he is!
Hey, you won't tell us?
You bastard…
Tell me right now!
GWANGJIN-GU, GUUI-DONG
SEODAEMUN-GU
The music store, Gangnam Station.
STRIKE MULTIPAD
GANGDONG-GU, GIL-DONG
The whole room smells of bleach.
That means he cleaned the room
very recently.
So it's possible that
he moved Prosecutor Seo recently.
One of these is the route
he used to move Prosecutor Seo.
Track these in reverse order.
Did you ever notice
the color of the soil looking different
on one spot when you got home?
No, never.
Could he have buried him somewhere here
when we weren't home?
Any weird noises?
Or did you ever smell a rotting stench
coming from downstairs?
No.
But I caught a strong whiff of bleach,
and it gave me a headache.
When?
Was it yesterday morning?
I came out,
and the whole place reeked of bleach.
My gosh, does that mean… That is horrible.
Did you not ask the tenant
where the smell was coming from?
He told her that he used bleach
for mold in his room.
If he used bleach yesterday morning,
it means the body was moved
shortly before that.
But with some GPS systems,
the information gets deleted very quickly.
Call the GPS company and ask for
the full log. They should have it stored.
That will take too long.
What if he was barely breathing?
It's possible that he tossed him out
because he had already passed that stage.
Right, see you later.
-Good luck.
-Thank you.
The floor pattern doesn't match.
It's not the same floor we saw
in the photo that we received.
And there's no glass table.
That photo…
I don't think it was taken here.
This won't change anything, okay?
You can't get out of this.
We found bloodstains in your room
as well as in your car.
Your car is a new model.
GPS systems these days still send data
to the company even if they're turned off.
Everything from the locations
to when it was used or left idling, even.
What I'm saying is,
we will find out where you've been
even if you stay silent.
If he's found in one of the places
in your GPS log,
then there's really no way out for you.
Tell us before that happens.
Where is Prosecutor Seo?
-Hello?
-Mr. Kim Hu-jeong?
This is the Uijeongbu District
Prosecutors' Office.
I'm not interested.
This isn't voice phishing.
This is Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.
You remember me, right? We spoke
on the phone regarding the Tongyeong case.
Then let me ask you this.
You have to answer this question, okay?
Is Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae alive?
Is he dead?
Is that why you moved his body
and removed all the traces?
Hey!
So you don't even know if he's alive?
No, that's why
I can't go back to the office now.
May I take the rest of the day off?
-Where are you now?
-Bogwang-dong, sir.
I'm headed to the suspect's place.
Forget about the day off.
Just get him to confess.
I wish I could threaten to kill him.
Prosecutor Hwang?
Because he ignored your order
and caught the culprit?
No, the culprit.
I never imagined he'd be the culprit.
Right?
Anyway, it's all over now.
We finally caught him.
Yes, it's him.
He lived in the room on the top floor
until recently.
Then do you recall
seeing these students as well?
Do you know
if they used to visit him often?
I'm not sure.
I'm just a tenant here,
so I had no reason to go up to his floor.
He only lived here for a short while
and moved out suddenly,
so I rarely saw him anyway.
-He moved out suddenly?
-Yes.
He only lived here for a month or two.
I remember the landlord telling me one day
that he'd moved out.
I didn't even know before that.
Do you know why he had to move out
all of a sudden?
He signed the lease
on the coldest day of the year.
Apparently, he said his room was too cold.
The landlord complained
that the room was only cold
because it was winter.
He should have done some repairs
if the place was too cold.
Is there a famous restaurant
in the neighborhood that delivers food?
A place that does their own delivery.
Yes, of course.
The fried chicken place
where my kids always order from.
Are you hungry?
KIM HU-JEONG'S ACQUAINTANCES
They were the ones
that drowned in Tongyeong?
Hu-jeong was the quiet type.
He got good grades,
and his family was well-off.
That made him a perfect target.
Have they been close since middle school?
I was actually surprised they kept
in touch even after getting into college.
-Hu-jeong!
-In eighth grade, Hu-jeong…
Hu-jeong, where are you?
Are you his guardian?
Why did you arrest my son
without a warrant and in broad daylight.
We arrested him without a warrant because
he tried to run away in broad daylight.
His charges include kidnapping, murder,
and abandoning a corpse.
You obviously have the wrong person.
At least make it sound believable
if you want to pin it on him!
He just turned 20. And what?
"Murder"? "Abandoning a corpse"?
He turned down an admission offer
from Seoul National University
because he got into Yonsei University
with a full scholarship!
I'm sorry, but we're interviewing him now.
Also, the suspect is an adult,
so we're not required
to have his guardian accompany him.
How dare you call him a suspect?
Who approved this?
-Who's in charge?
-I am.
SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I used to work at the Supreme Office too.
Which class were you?
I am his father,
but I'm also here as his attorney.
When you were in middle school,
you've made a confession
to your homeroom teacher.
You told him that you were being bullied
by your classmates. The two of them.
But what was the outcome?
The teacher had the two sit next to you,
so the three of you could become friends.
So the 15-year-old Kim Hu-jeong
had to be seated with his two bullies
all day long
even though they hit him, mocked him,
and ordered him around.
The two of them took turns each week
to bully you.
How dare you… None of it is true.
My son was never bullied.
Come to think of it,
maybe the teacher told them…
I think he tried to warn
those guys who drowned in Tongyeong.
"I know what's going on.
I'm watching you guys."
The entire school had heard that Hu-jeong
told the teacher he was being bullied.
Maybe that was the teacher's strategy.
But what about Hu-jeong?
How were they supposed to become close?
It's impossible.
Whether you go to college or the beach,
you can't become close.
Well, why is this brought up
right now anyway?
Even if there was… Fine.
Let's say he was bullied.
But you mentioned murder and kidnapping.
But those two kids drowned.
Because there's a possibility
that he shoved them into the water.
They were enemies, not friends.
You tell them.
Were they your friends or enemies?
Tell them.
Friends.
We became close.
Middle school was years ago.
It's long ago. It's more than enough
time for them to bond.
Why did you get him a room in Bogwang-dong
when you live in a fancy apartment
in Gwangjin-gu.
More importantly…
Hu-jeong, why did you move out
in less than a month?
Look, Detective. He wanted to live
in that building in Bogwang-dong
but ended up moving out
because he didn't like it at all.
Is that a crime? This is ridiculous.
I can't believe you're interrogating him
about breaking his lease.
I heard you used to order
garlic chicken often.
Seriously?
What does garlic chicken
have to do with this?
Did they live there too?
Did they bring girls over as well?
How dare you…
It was a complete mess.
It looked like they drank every day.
-They ordered from us often.
-The chicken is here.
-Okay.
-Sometimes, I only saw guys.
Usually, it was him who came to the door.
But he wasn't there at times,
and it was just the others girls.
I told them to come over.
-The girls too?
-Yes.
You worked on your music there, right?
After you moved from Bogwang-dong
to Guui-dong,
did you tell them that you had moved?
No, I didn't--
You said they were your friends
and you were close.
If you were close enough
to go on a trip together,
why didn't you tell them
about moving so suddenly?
Whether they were friends or not,
what did he do wrong
and what is he responsible for--
This is about his motive.
We're asking him about his motive.
Hu-jeong.
Where were you on March 26,
between 7 to 11 p.m.?
Hey!
You took Prosecutor Seo there, didn't you?
Where is he now?
Prosecutor Seo?
It's not like you found his corpse there
or the murder weapon.
Because of a missing prosecutor,
you're trying to coerce this innocent boy
into confessing what he didn't even do
so that you can close the case!
I'm his father, a former prosecutor,
and an attorney.
Seeing how you treat him with me here
makes me wonder how many people
you've wrongly convicted.
Why did you turn off your dashcam?
Why did you remove it?
This is ridiculous.
Look, detectives.
A dashcam is considered private property.
He's not obligated to disclose footage,
and he may refuse to submit it.
We found bloodstains
on the floor and inside the closet.
Even inside the trunk.
We're not wrongfully accusing him.
That's from a dog.
I hit a dog with my car.
It's from that.
Then you should've taken the dog to a vet.
Why shove it in your closet?
Do you think
you're making sense right now?
I did take the dog to a vet
but was told that it wouldn't make it,
so I brought it back.
Where's the dog now?
It died.
-So where is it?
-I buried it.
Where?
Wait, I just remembered
that I'd tossed it.
Which veterinary clinic?
-I don't remember.
-Gosh, this punk…
A DNA analysis will tell us
whether or not it was human blood.
How dare you try to fool us?
This is not the time for this!
Where is Seo Dong-jae?
He must've scrubbed the floor real hard.
And he used all kinds of bleach.
The blood is so contaminated
that they're not sure
if they'll find any DNA.
So the question is not
whether we can find whose blood it is,
but they might not even know
if it's human blood?
And he obviously knows that.
That's why he's so confident.
First, let's separate the suspect
from his father.
If we let his father stay with him,
he won't even say a word.
We've caught the culprit,
but we don't have any evidence.
Darn it. I'm sure we're so close.
Did they tell you why you were arrested?
-Yes.
-Did they say that you have the right
to an attorney and can explain yourself?
-Yes.
-Look at me, Hu-jeong.
Look at me!
Do not say a word.
No matter what they tell you.
I'll take care of everything,
so don't do anything. Got it?
Yes.
Even if the prosecutor
requests an arrest warrant,
you can be released
because they don't have
solid evidence against you.
No, I'll make sure
their warrant request is denied.
They can't arrest you.
So you must not tell them anything.
That is your right.
-Do you understand?
-Yes.
Ignore everything they tell you.
They're just small fries.
Let's go.
Do you believe it's dog blood?
Of course. Why wouldn't I believe
my son's words?
That you were being bullied…
We found bloodstains
on the floor and inside the closet.
Even inside the trunk.
I'm calling you because it's very urgent.
The fact that a prosecutor is missing
isn't important.
We've made an emergency arrest
but we may have to let him go
because of his attorney.
No, he definitely is the culprit.
We'll be screwed if we let him go.
I refuse to be blamed for losing him
because of the ambiguous DNA results.
Please help me out.
Thanks. I'm counting on you.
Sir.
Prosecutor Hwang just told me
about the situation.
This isn't abuse of authority--
Right, but--
Yes.
I'll tell him to be careful.
Yes, sir.
I apologize for causing you concern.
Yes, sir.
Those bastards!
What is it this time?
Do you know Judge Kim Gyu-man
at the Supreme Court?
No.
The suspect's father
went to Kim Gyu-man and threw a fit.
So he called the person
in charge of issuing warrants,
then he called
the deputy prosecutor general.
Which suspect?
Seo Dong-jae's case.
He told us not to issue the warrant
because the prosecutor in charge
can't remain subjective
because he's the victim's acquaintance.
He went on about how unfair it is
and that his son is being targeted.
Do you mean Hwang Si-mok?
It sounds like he's the one taking sides.
It's his son, but--
How dare he?
He isn't even my direct supervisor.
He's only my senior.
We still can't deny the warrant.
Did he think this would
make me get on my knees?
What does he take me for?
That's not important now.
What about the warrant?
They won't ask us to let him go.
-They might.
-What?
The judge at the National Assembly…
What was his name?
Doesn't he have seniority
over Kim Gyu-man?
Which class was he in?
I don't know.
I think he got in
just a few years before we did.
In that case…
Shin Jeong-ho must be his senior.
We can't deny the warrant.
-Is Shin Jeong-ho that judge?
-Yes.
Hello, sir. Do you have a moment?
I see. I'll make it quick, then.
Do you happen to know Judge Kim Gyu-man?
You've worked with him in the past?
Then he's your junior.
Right.
It's surrounded
by multiplex apartment buildings.
There are mountains and even a river
nearby.
Gosh, where could he have hidden him?
If we never find his body…
Where could he be?
Hello?
Yes.
The GPS log.
Yes, okay.
He was near Seongsu-dong 1-ga
at 3 a.m. today.
It's the most recent record
except for his visit
to the music store in the afternoon.
It's the perfect time to move the body
without being seen.
That must be it, then.
The place smelled like bleach
because he started cleaning after that.
But even the floor at his parent's place
is different from the one in the photo.
It's right by the Han River.
Darn it. So is it the Han River then?
I see mountains too.
Also, Seoul Forest and a creek.
Gosh, this is nuts.
It won't be easy to
find Prosecutor Seo there.
Jeez, this is ridiculous.
Hey.
Over here.
Is this the right spot?
He couldn't have tossed it here
even at 3 a.m.
He stopped here for about two minutes.
Seoul Forest is about
ten minutes away on foot.
But he wouldn't have carried the body
from all the way here.
If he pulled his car over
for just two minutes,
it means he chucked something and ran off.
Let's find out.
Maybe it's under a staircase somewhere.
We've already looked everywhere
but found nothing.
We checked that earlier. It's not there.
CLOTHING DONATIONS
My gosh. Hold on.
Hey, bring whatever tool we have. Hurry.
Gosh, hold on.
Gosh, darn it!
-He's got something.
-Hey, open this up.
Here.
Give me a hand.
One, two, three.
Take them out. All of them.
-Gosh, it stinks.
-It's bleach.
Hey, just rip it open.
-Gosh.
-Jeez.
We won't get any DNA from this.
So he wasn't here to chuck the body.
It was before he came here.
He should have moved the body,
cleaned his place, then threw these out.
He could have cleaned his place naked.
Ask for the GPS log
for before he came here. All of it.
Yes, sir.
It took hours just to get this location.
Tell them it's a matter of life or death!
Did Prosecutor Seo tell you
when and how he started suspecting you?
I have something to ask you.
Do you have some time today?
No, I'm busy today.
And I already told you everything.
It's not about that.
I just need to check something.
What do you need to check?
What about tomorrow? Let's talk in person.
Where would be good?
Shall I come to your place?
No.
That's okay.
Then where?
Are you familiar with Itaewon?
It's rare to see long-term repression
caused by bullying
turn into violent retaliation.
In most cases,
victims resort to self-harm.
Some say that happens because
they've completely surrendered mentally,
but I personally think
they do that while waiting
for their last recourse.
Time.
"This will end when I graduate.
The bullying will end
the day I can cut all ties with them."
They go so far as to hurt themselves
to wait for that day to come.
Hey, friend. You've hurt our feelings.
Seriously.
Did you think
we wouldn't be able to find you?
This place is huge.
Jeez, this place is much bigger.
Sounds like all you know
about bullying is from books.
I've forgotten how it felt,
but I still remember the experience.
You've finally become an adult.
You're attending a university
your father is proud of
with a full scholarship.
A decent adult, shall I say?
But what has changed?
You've not been able to take
a single step forward
from being the teenage boy
who used to be bullied.
You had
nothing to wait for,
so you decided not to wait.
Hey, friend.
What took you so long?
You kept us waiting for so long.
The keys.
Did you really sell my computer
and equipment?
Hey, did you just grab my wrist?
I'm sorry, friend.
We sold them for some money.
Are you angry?
Sorry, friend.
You should have lent us the money
when we asked you.
I even bought you those shoes.
You did, but I had no clothes
to wear with these.
Just tell me who you sold them to.
Everything I worked on is on my computer.
I'll buy it back.
Wow, didn't you make any backups?
Unbelievable.
What's the point of getting good grades
when you're so stupid and useless?
We sold it online.
I'll find who bought it.
-Bring it back by Thursday.
-I told you we sold it.
No, I mean my car. I need to use it.
For what?
I want to go to the beach.
Hey, let's go with him.
-Should we take the girls?
-No!
I mean, I'm not that skilled
at driving yet. So we shouldn't.
Why take them?
There'll be loads of girls at the beach.
-You're ridiculous.
-Right.
Hey, friend. Book a nice hotel.
A hotel?
Pensions are better.
We can have a barbecue. Book a pension.
Are you really going to come?
You don't have come if you don't want to.
All right.
I'll let you come with me.
How did it feel?
Ending it with your own hands.
Don't say a word. Don't do anything.
I…
I don't know.
It wasn't me.
What about Prosecutor Seo?
Is he dead?
I don't know.
Kim Hu-jeong.
What did you do to him?
Answer me.
Did you stab him?
Did you choke him?
Cut him into pieces?
There are many cases of the suspect
being charged with murder
even when the body wasn't found
and the suspect denied everything.
We found traces of blood in your room,
and you fled when you saw a detective.
We also found your clothes.
The clothes you had to throw away
in a random neighborhood
at three in the morning.
Look.
We found traces of you
trying to remove the blood.
What did you do to him?
Tell me.
What did you do to Prosecutor Seo?
What did you do to him?
You'll be charged and sentenced
to jail for sure.
Whatever your father told you,
and no matter how long you keep quiet,
you can't escape it.
The only thing left is to decide
what you'll be charged with.
That depends on you.
Will it be three murders,
or will one be an attempted murder?
If he was alive last night,
he could still be alive.
Where is he?
Did you kill him?
Did he die a long time ago?
Did you abandon him when he was alive?
I don't know anything.
We got his internet history.
He watched the video we uploaded
dozens of times
and even left a comment
on the witness testimony.
Where are you taking him?
Stop lying.
If you really saw something,
why didn't you report it?
Why would you do that?
You're just an attention seeker. You wrote
the comment. You wrote it yourself.
-No!
-You're an attention-seeking jerk.
You…
Do this again, and we'll consider it
obstruction of justice.
You're his senior, not mine.
ON PUBLIC DUTY
It's near your studio, right?
You threw away your clothes nearby.
He must be nearby too.
Where is he?
I've wanted to make music
for a really long time.
My dad told me
he'd let me do whatever I wanted
if I make it into a good college.
So I studied really hard.
But it didn't end.
Even when I went to high school
and college, they kept following me.
When I first got my own studio,
I was so happy.
I felt like I was being compensated
for everything I'd gone through.
But
they appeared again
at my studio.
Where could I go next?
I needed a future.
Did you think it'd end if you killed them?
Is that why you went to the beach?
What did you do to Prosecutor Seo?
Was it a river or mountains?
Mountains.
I just…
threw him somewhere in the mountains.
I heard there was a letter
and that there was a witness,
so I got scared.
I've kept him in my closet.
I was too scared to do anything.
But after hearing about the witness,
I thought I had to do something
so I touched him,
but he wasn't moving.
He was already dead.
You kept him like that when he was
bleeding and unconscious?
What about food and water?
Did you give him water?
Where is he?
I don't know.
You dumped him. How could you not know?
It was dark,
and I couldn't tell what's what.
I hadn't decided where to go.
I was just driving to where
there weren't any people.
So I'm not sure…
I think it's around here.
Look carefully. Are you sure this is it?
Look closely!
Hu-jeong…
Why… Why didn't you tell me?
I'm your dad.
We got the location.
It's halfway up Achasan.
Send as many search dogs and officers
as you can. The search area's really wide.
-Search thoroughly.
-Over here!
Over here.
-Look thoroughly.
-Be thorough!
Look everywhere.
-Take a closer look.
-It's nothing.
Let's go.
Move it!
Get a move on.
-Search up the hill.
-So this is the first search area.
The shoe doesn't belong to the victim.
Someone must've thrown it away.
There are a lot of trees.
He could be caught on a branch.
-Are you here?
-Step back.
All right!
Excuse me. Let that car in!
It's our equipment.
-Where did they come from?
-Keep them out.
How many did you bring?
We got two heat detectors
since it's nighttime.
We can use the others
if the search continues tomorrow.
Let it through.
You can't come in here.
Chief Choi.
-Yes.
-Are you coming from somewhere?
We didn't find any traces yet.
Are you even sure it's here?
The culprit isn't that sure of it.
That stupid jerk.
More to the right.
We can't go past that area
because of all the bushes.
-I see.
-So check there.
What?
What is that?
Is that helicam from a TV station?
Gosh. It's so loud!
It's interfering with our
search and rescue.
Did you get everything?
Yes, thank you.
The rescue scene is on the news right now.
Yes, I know. Can you send these over
the computer as well?
Yes, sir.
Are you all right?
Pardon?
I can't believe you already forgot.
You're old enough to do
your homework by yourself.
Okay, finish your homework
after you eat, okay?
I'm going to check later if you did it.
All right.
You should go home. I'll keep you updated.
-Are you all right?
-Yes.
You should head home.
You don't have to wait here.
Maybe I shouldn't say this
when someone's life is at stake,
but I used to be sick of doing this
back in the day.
You know what they say.
"Cases happen at the scene,
not at your desk."
I shouldn't have let it drag on
until we reached the scene.
One of the Tongyeong victims' father
said he couldn't buy his son
a pair of shoes.
He said his son said it was okay, and
that he could just get a part-time job.
I remember hearing that so clearly.
I should've used my brain.
It implied that he hadn't found a job yet.
Then where did he get
those expensive shoes?
If I had only thought of this back then…
I couldn't buy him these shoes.
But he said it was okay
and that he'd just get a part-time job.
Why didn't I think of that?
I think I heard something slipping.
-Is someone hurt?
-Was it over here?
There's something over here!
Over here!
Did you find him?
Did you find him?
-Where is it?
-What's going on?
-Where?
-Is that him?
I am here at the scene.
They are currently searching for
Prosecutor Seo who has been kidnapped…
Gyeong-jun…
Mom…
Gyeong-jun…
Don't let him watch the news.
Make sure he doesn't watch the news.
The news…
…related to the drowning in Tongyeong…
-Jeez. I can't see anything.
-Hey!
Did you find him?
Darn it.
-Bring your lights here.
-Lights!
Lights!
Slowly!
-Over there!
-Where?
-Over there!
-Where?
I can see him!
I think he's over there!
The rescue team is currently
pulling someone up from a slope
who is assumed to be Prosecutor Seo.
It is still unclear
whether he is alive or not.
The police will soon make an
official announcement…
UNCLEAR WHETHER HE IS ALIVE
Bring him up!
Keep your lights on them!
Over here!
Move aside.
Slowly!
Be careful!
Make way!
Be careful!
-Careful, now.
-Please, make way!
Clear this area of reporters and cars.
Please move! Let them pass!
Please stand back!
How did it go?
-Oxygen mask.
-Okay.
-Slowly.
-Right.
Wait!
-Let him lie down carefully.
-Okay.
This was tied around his wrists.
Why would you go this far?
Damn it.
What do you mean why?
MISSING PROSECUTOR RESCUED FROM ACHASAN
SENIOR INSPECTOR HAN
What is it?
Hang on.
Get that witness right now.
A fake letter and a fake witness report…
They were there for a reason.
This isn't a coincidence.
Could you drop me off…
You want us to stop?
Never mind.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR KANG WON-CHUL
Yes, sir.
What happened?
Is he alive?
Yes.
How is he?
He's unconscious right now.
He's in hypothermic shock
from the blood loss,
-and he had no water--
-He'll wake up, right?
Even if he does, there was
some impact when he fell.
He's suffered a shock from the fractures.
All right, then.
Okay. Great job.
All right, sir.
Who is it?
I live downstairs.
I think there's a water leak.
It's not my house.
There's a lot of water falling
into my house.
Could I check your laundry machine
or something?
At this hour?
Jeon Gi-hyeok, let's talk.
What's that?
What is it?
I WASHED THE DISHES
TOO LATE
I WASHED THE DISHES
TOO LATE
I threw him somewhere in the mountains.
I heard there was a letter…
He was just unlucky.
I decided not to do it.
I asked to see him,
but I tried to changed my mind.
Hey, Kim Hu-jeong!
It wouldn't have happened
if he had arrived a little later.
You really didn't send this?
Hey.
Come here, you jerk.
Come on!
I knew you lied for money,
but I didn't expect this.
Why was this at your house?
And the police watch? Did you
throw it away after taking the photo?
And the necktie. Did you buy it yourself?
What necktie?
The floor and the table. It's your house.
You took that photo at home.
What is that?
Don't play dumb.
You said that you watched the news
out of guilt after witnessing the scene.
There was a huge fuss about the culprit
sending the message.
And you're saying you've never seen this?
You should at least remember what you said
if you want to lie.
Come on. Floors like that
are really common in Korea.
You should've taken it outside
if you didn't want to get caught.
Were you afraid of people seeing you
but not of getting caught later?
All the houses in our building
have that floor.
Maybe someone there is the culprit.
Did everyone in your building
lie about witnessing the culprit?
What's your relationship
with Sergeant Baek?
Jeez, I told you I don't even know him.
Then who is it?
Who made you point him out as the culprit?
Nobody put me up to anything.
Why do you keep making up weird stories?
You little jerk.
You sent this and then claimed
you were a witness right after.
You made sure that the police watch
was shown, guising it as a mistake,
then pointed out a cop as the culprit.
How is this just a coincidence?
Who ordered you to do it?
I told you I did it for the money!
I admit it. Okay?
Why are you making such a fuss
about some floor pattern?
"Such a fuss"?
You must miss being in jail.
You want to go back there?
What…
Can you leave for a moment?
What? Why?
What's going on?
That jerk was smirking when you said
you'd send him back to jail.
He spent his whole life
cowering before the cops.
He must be so excited right now.
You remember me, don't you?
Don't you remember me?
You're the one who put on an act
with the license plate.
"An act"?
I've been working at
the Supreme Prosecutors' Office
for ten years now.
SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
After I put on the so-called "act,"
I received a strange phone call.
What call?
You don't need to know the details
of that call.
You have connections
with the prosecution, right?
Me?
What connections would I have?
I'm asking you
if I'll suffer any consequences
or be harmed
if I dig into this.
Let me know right now if you
have any connections with the prosecution.
Which office is it?
The central district office?
Oh, come on.
That's ridiculous.
I'm just a petty criminal.
Can't you tell?
All right, then.
If I end up
indicting you
and suffer some kind of a penalty
at the prosecution for that,
I'm coming back for you.
They told you that over the phone?
What else, then?
Well, I just meant…
Someone who died after drinking
wired money to three women
two days before his death?
We should find those people.
-You don't need to cover for them--
-I'm not covering for them.
Did she admit it?
The Criminal Legislation Division did this
to keep the investigative rights.
If it really is one of them,
who could it be?
Who was the third man
at the vacation home?
Hey!
Whether it's Woo Tae-ha or Kim Sa-hyun,
it doesn't matter.
I'll show you what it means
to have the authority to indict.
I'll indict you. I'll make you
a corrupt cop and a convict.
