[Episode 2]
- Hey.
- What's going on?
What in the world is going on here?
Geez...
Hye Soo, that girl hasn't come home yet.
[Psycho Jin Sang]
Why isn't he picking up?
- Who?
- Oh Jin Sang, my friend.
You met him at the restaurant earlier.
Why are you calling him at this hour?
I'm going to ask him to bring me my car.
You must be close.
We're dating. Why?
Dating or not dating, I don't care.
I'm not jealous at all. You failed.
I don't feel anxious at all.
Gosh, what's with him?
Hey. Why aren't you picking up?
Are you drinking?
Hey, there's been a murder incident.
But...
What?
The corpse is hanging like laundry?
Excessive bleeding from cutting off the Achilles' tendon?
We're on our way to the scene, Jin Sang.
Give us more context when we get there.
- Sunbae.
- Turn the car around.
Let me ask you a favor.
You're the president of the town, Town Chief.
Look into any external vehicles that entered.
Excuse me.
How come you fancy people are interested in a podunk town case?
- I'd like to start by checking out the corpse.
- Oh, yes.
Step aside.
It's likely that this murder case is the doing of an outsider.
Since the incident took place relatively recently, the culprit might still be in Woojin.
Conduct a concentrated search of this hill,
and get a hold of all external-facing checkpoints and CCTVs.
- Get moving!
- Yes, sir!
Sunbae.
What about Hae Ju's mom?
I heard she passed out.
The girl who was fine just this morning, and look at her now.
Damn it.
- Detective Oh.
- What's up?
About this case. We need to transfer it to Seoul.
Do fancy people lack basic common sense?
This case took place in my jurisdiction and belongs to me, Oh Jin Sang.
Why would you take it to Seoul?
That's classified information related to the investigation.
We've issued the paperwork to the Chief,
so unless something extraordinary happens, it'll be transferred to Seoul.
What if I say no?
It would be a little annoying,
- but the result will be the same.
- I see.
Is that so?
In that case, let me help you with that annoying part.
Of course.
Thank you for your cooperation.
- Let's head back.
- We're leaving.
Stop.
Not for free.
What?
Count me in.
You're suggesting we take Jin Sang?
It's not a bad idea to have a detective who's familiar with the crime site.
You left Woojin a long time ago.
He's an unpredictable character. He'll make some noise.
Do you think you can handle him?
Well, those types sometimes create breakthroughs.
Well, if it's for that reason.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Detecting Oh.
I have conditions too.
Cursing, violence, and overreacting.
None of that's allowed in our investigation team.
Can you do it?
Prosecutor Cha, is this your first time investigating?
Leave the scene to us day laborers.
You stay put in the fancy prosecutor's seat.
Take a sip of tea as we prepare for the transfer.
Yeah?
♫ Die once, but never die twice, I'm coming ♫
♫ Woo hoo ♫
You're heading to Seoul?
Gosh, that's what I said.
Who do you think I am?
I'm the invincible Detective Oh.
Oh Jin Sang.
Even the cream-of-the-crop prosecutors can't do without me.
He was begging me to cooperate in the investigation.
I would've said no under any other circumstance,
but I said yes for Young Joo's sake.
Does that mean you're moving your headquarters to Seoul?
No.
They might be desperate to hold on to me,
but I'm high maintenance.
I like my hometown.
I'll go catch them the perp and return home in glory.
What a relief.
Anyway, take care of yourself.
Gosh, yes. Don't act out and get stabbed by the murderer or whatever.
Control yourself.
Gosh, knock on wood.
Anyway, don't make Jin Woo worry about you while I'm gone.
Stop being so extra.
Mind your own business.
I ironed this.
[Investigation Team 5]
Aigoo, hello!
I'm Oh Jin Sang.
Oh, this?
I'm the ambassador of my hometown.
This is a specialty of our region. Have you had it?
It's royally delicious queen crab.
Here, here. Don't be surprised, everyone.
This is Detective Oh, who will be working with us.
Say hello.
Is your name really Jin Sang*?
(It means "nuisance" in Korean)
The real story is quite long.
His real name is Oh Jin Seong.
I called him Jin Sang after his nasty personality,
and now others call him Jing Sang like it's his real name.
I'm Yook Jung Tae of Seocho Police Station.
Seocho?
I figured you were plucked away from an island somewhere.
Sergeant Oh. I'm Lieutenant Yook Jung Tae.
Oh, sorry.
You're smacking me in the face with your insignia.
Anyway, we'll only be seeing each other on a temporary basis,
so let's take off our insignia.
Sure, why not.
I'm cool with that.
I'm Criminal Investigator Baek Mi Ja.
Let's get along.
Wow, you're as charismatic as an inspector general.
I'm Investigator Park Do Hyuk.
Nice to meet you.
All right. Let's continue the meeting.
Let's first discuss the third murder that took place in Woojin.
We're in the process of checking out external vehicles that entered Woojin.
How are you so sure that the culprit is an outsider?
There have been eight criminal cases in Woojin in the past thirty years.
Those were on the level of burglary, assault, arson, and gang fights.
There hasn't been a single murder case in Woojin in the last thirty years.
Plus, the logical conclusion is that
a bizarre case like this is statistically impossible.
I agree with Detective Oh on this.
I know my hometown well.
So, Prosecutor Go, you remain that Bae Min Gyu is the prime suspect?
Of course.
In that case, what connects Woojin to Bae Min Gyu-
Here.
There's a luxury vacation villa near the crime scene in Woojin.
That villa is owned by Assemblyman Bae Tae Ook, Bae Min Gyu's father.
[Bae Tae Ook]
I guess your impatience is not always a bad thing.
Prosecutor Cha, do you like pork intestines?
"You work fast and do good work."
You're bending over backward not to have to say that to me.
Go forth like a man.
A man goes forth!
What do you think? Bae Min Gyu.
Don't you think we can arrest him without a warrant?
No.
We need to check his alibi first.
We've been burned more than once.
All right, great.
Detective Oh, look further into the alibi for the third Bae Min Gyu incident.
Detective Yook, you look into the female high schooler victim of Woojin.
Yes.
Is there any special reason for that?
I figured he'd be more objective than you, born and bred there.
I accept that.
Criminal Investigator Baek, nudge forensics for results from the third incident.
- Let's get moving.
- Yes.
Baek Mi Ja, nudge extraordinaire, is on her way!
I'm on my way too.
Who said no to Yang Hee Joo joining the investigation team?
- Did you say no, Sunbae?
- No.
Wait...
It's you, wasn't it, Sunbae?
I'm aware I was the one who up and left first.
But I wasn't being for real.
How could you exclude me from the case for something I did in a fit of anger? Don't you think?
Detective Oh.
Let's get going.
Wow.
I'm talking right now.
Where are you going?
Hey, who's that nutjob?
Seeing she's calling you sunbae,
- is she a prosecutor by chance?
- Yeah.
Her name's Yang Hee Joo. She was my junior in school.
You'll get used to her.
Hey, her background is even funnier.
Huh? Why?
You'll see what I mean.
Anyway.
You better meet Bae Min Gyu tomorrow.
To be honest, I don't believe him, especially his alibi from his first incident with his wife.
His second incident alibi was also a seminar, but who knows if he stayed the whole time?
They're all doctor colleagues who know each other.
You're smelling something fishy?
This is between us, but
that's the feeling I get.
Okay.
- Let me look into that as well.
- Okay.
Thanks for taking care of it.
Hey, Go Young Joo.
We're a team, right?
Happy?
Yes, very happy.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Fighting!
- What's wrong with you?
[Bae Min Gyu Dental Clinic]
Do you work here?
Yes.
- Doctor?
- No.
- I'm a nurse's aide.
- I see.
Who are you?
What were you up to two days ago on Tuesday?
Our dental clinic closes every Tuesday.
Oh, I see.
I was on vacation until yesterday and just got back to work today.
All I did during vacation was play video games at home, though.
[Woojin Town Chief]
Ae Ra from Hobak Cafe was
delivering some food and slightly bumped into an external vehicle.
She snapped a photo just in case.
Open.
Open up.
It's bleeding.
Are you okay, Doctor?
I'm okay.
Let me go back in.
Whoa, he's got chaotic taste.
Are you a new face on the job?
- You must work out.
- Golf, swimming, and so on.
Wow, the biceps.
Wow, your chest muscles.
I bet you can take on two strong young men.
You still got business with me?
Anyway.
How's my Prosecutor Go Young Joo doing?
What were you up to between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.?
two days ago on Tuesday?
Two days ago, two days ago...
Why should I answer that?
Another person died that night.
In the same manner your wife died.
I see...
Oppa, why are you not picking up?
Here she is. I was at a hotel with her.
Oh, really.
- Hotel?
- Yeah.
- Where?
- We only go to Seoul Hotel.
Who's this?
A detective.
Are you the girlfriend?
You're a totally different style from Lee Eun Byul.
What? Lee Eun Byul?
Oppa, are you still seeing her?
Hey, what do you expect from me?
You and Eun Byul. You're both "one of them" to me.
What? One of them?
You asshole.
You son of a bitch. You said you only love me.
You said you only want me. Only me! Only me!
Do you know how expensive this is?
Gosh, really.
Wow, are purses more expensive than wrists these days?
You're all nuts.
Excuse me.
We weren't together two nights ago.
It's a lie.
You asshole.
Hey.
I was just playing.
Wow, what an asshole. You're funny.
Do you think the police are a joke?
Let me ask you again.
What were you doing between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. two nights ago?
Not sure.
I don't remember so well, unfortunately.
Wow.
Hey. It's illegal to do this without a warrant.
Bae Min Gyu. According to Paragraph 2 of Article 211 of the Criminal Procedure Law,
those who are actively being pursued as a culprit,
those who are evading questions,
and those who are at risk of fleeing or destroying evidence
are considered de facto offenders.
That's why it's legal for me to arrest you.
Got it?
How fun.
Must've been hard memorizing everything.
Thank you, asshole.
Let's go.
I'm late because of the traffic.
You should've let us take care of it. You're busy these days.
I better be the one cooking for Young Woon.
- Let me look at the menu.
- Here it is.
Chopsteak and radish rolls.
He's going to love it.
Gosh, your mom's herself, as always.
- Have you eaten?
- Yes, I have.
Gosh, if I have to live up to my mom, I don't think I could ever be a parent.
I feel you.
I heard you launched a joint investigation team with the police.
You must've heard from Hee Joo.
This is a serious embargo.
- It's a sensitive case.
- Got it.
You've always broken your promises after saying you got it.
I've let it go thus far out of respect for your work ethic.
- But this is a real no-no.
- Relax.
I really got it.
Gosh. You sure answer easily.
I saw a weird country bumpkin-looking detective.
Oh, you saw him?
Yeah. I heard he's Go Young Joo's friend.
Yeah, maybe it's due to the regional culture of the town,
- but they somehow are similar.
- Aigoo...
He must have a temper.
That's Young Joo's selling point.
Is it?
Anyway, I hope the country detective doesn't interfere with the investigation.
- Surprisingly, he seems competent.
- Oh, yeah?
Sunbae.
Yeah, Young Joo. What's up?
Detective Oh.
You went too far.
If the lawyer sues us for unlawful arrest,
the investigation is over.
So it's okay for him to go back on his alibi in front of a detective?
Plus, he's a suspect in the murder!
I thought I made it clear.
No cursing is allowed here.
Gosh, nothing's allowed around here.
What does a prosecutor who's never caught a thief with his own hands know about investigations?
Detective Oh.
Who'll take responsibility once we lose everything after following the damn procedure?
Oh Jin Sang!
Here. Look here.
Do you think my brain's made of tofu?
Bae Min Gyu's car was photographed in Woojin city center on the day of the crime.
I got this from Woojin. Happy now?
Prosecutor Go Young Joo, when are you coming in here?
I came in to see you, Prosecutor Go Young Joo.
Hurry in here and break me free.
- That asshole...
- You need to stop.
- Calm down.
- He just sexually harassed you.
And? You're going to beat him up?
Calm down, calm down.
I can deal with that.
Looks like you'll need to watch your temper.
Oh, by the way, Detective Oh.
You said Woojin hasn't seen a murder case in 50 years.
- And?
- Then...
wouldn't that mean this is your first murder case?
It's true I've never caught a thief on the scene.
But I don't think that means you can look down on my investigation methods.
Look at this.
I must have really hurt your feelings.
Don't come at me for a silly joke I made.
I was kidding.
It's not funny.
You must not know about this about me, fancy Prosecutor Cha.
Why do you think I've only been at the Woojin Police Station?
I started in violent crimes at a war zone port town infested with gangs.
Murder suspect?
I've seen more than I can count with my fingers.
You mean...
you saw them but haven't caught them?
Whether it's a header or a penalty kick,
it's all a goal.
This vehicle was spotted in Woojin on the day of the murder.
You must've been in Woojin on the day of the incident.
I guess my car was there, yes.
But I was in Seoul.
The car drove itself to Woojin?
Prosecutor Go, I have many cars.
I think I have around six.
This car here is out of style.
I got sick of it. I don't care who drives it.
- You lent it to someone?
- Not sure.
- I don't quite remember.
- Bae Min Gyu.
Here you go.
- Prosecutor Go, when you're mad like this-
- I'm sexy.
I know I'm sexy.
So, shut up.
Do you think you can get away with claiming that the murder weapon was stolen again?
You could've gotten doubles or triples of the same knife.
It may take time,
but the truth will come out, so you better tell the truth.
Between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Where were you?
I was on an online medical show.
It was a live stream.
Check it out.
You too.
[Doctor Buddy]
[Doctor Bae Min Gyu]
[Streaming time: September 9th, 2022, 21:00-22:50]
How does this make any sense?
Bae Min Gyu's car was in Woojin on the day of the crime,
but he was on a live stream medical show in Seoul
and he lent the car to someone but can't remember who?
Gosh, really.
Prosecutor Cha.
And Prosecutor Go.
Here's the paperwork that proves my client's alibi.
Excuse me. I understand your stance,
but how come he remembers his alibi from the day of the incident,
but can't remember who he lent his car to two days ago?
He can't remember?
You know it's perjury to claim you don't remember when you actually do remember, right?
My client seems to be suffering from
short-term memory loss due to extreme stress.
If necessary, I will submit a doctor's note.
I'd like to take off now.
Gosh.
Bae Min Gyu, that asshole. I observed how he acts at the dental clinic.
Wow, I got chills down my spine.
That kind of person goes on a pro bono advice show he's never been on before?
And somehow, on the exact night of the incident?
Plus, his car was near the murder scene.
Coincidences only go so far.
The problem is the alibi.
He does have an alibi for all three incidents.
If we can disprove even just one of the three alibis...
That'll justify us arresting him.
I will tear apart that asshole's alibi.
How?
Just wait and see.
Why did you get here so late, Attorney Choi?
I apologize.
Hey.
Do you enjoy messing around with government authorities?
You seem to be stuck in a victim mentality.
I don't like your face, but I keep missing it.
Bow down.
Gosh, you're a cute one.
We'll see each other soon enough, yeah?
Sure.
Hello?
This is Detective Oh Jin Sang.
I need to look into Lee Eun Byul more for an investigation.
Where are you right now?
Eun Byul already gave a full testimony.
You can't tell people what to do whenever you want just because you're a cop.
Look, Mr. Manager.
Reporters are swarming like mad dogs after finding out
that Lee Eun Byul provided an alibi for Bae Min Gyu.
I've kept my mouth shut to protect her.
Gosh, Detective, I had no idea.
We're filming on-site in a rural area right now.
We'll be back up late at night.
Sure, sure. Call me as soon as you get through the Seoul toll gate.
- Got it?
- Yes, got it.
Also,
- hello?
- Geez! You think you're all that just because you're a cop?
Geez, that rude son of a bitch.
He thinks he's the celeb.
Oh, I see.
I don't know what the situation was, but...
The body...
- Anyone?
- Oh Jin Woo oppa...
Oh Jin Woo?
[Pogoo Restaurant]
The body was draped...
[Ketamine Buyers List]
[Names]
Yes, Detective Yook.
According to the friends of the victim,
Oh Jin Woo was close to her.
Wait a minute.
Oh Jin Woo, as in Detective Oh Jin Sang's brother?
Yes, and also,
check out the file I just sent you via email.
- Please open it.
- Yes, give me a second.
If you look at the victim's call history,
around 8 p.m., an hour before the incident,
[Text Message Analysis Report]
she exchanged texts with Oh Jin Woo.
They discussed meeting up near the murder site.
Yes, also,
there's a record of Oh Jin Woo calling the victim after ten minutes.
[Oh Jin Woo - Chef]
The knives over there look cool.
Detective Yook. Let's do this.
- Mr. Oh Jin Woo?
- Yes.
Can I see your knife?
Let's say Lee Eun Byul is telling the truth, and the sashimi knife that was gifted got stolen.
You could buy the same one and commit the crime twice, thrice.
The issue is,
it's a high-end item with not too many vendors,
but if they used cash, we can't track who bought it.
Gosh. It was a premeditated crime. They must have used cash.
- Let's go ahead and check.
- Yes.
But Bae Min Gyu and Lee Eun Byul,
neither of them seems that normal, do they?
I don't think...
it's right to assume Bae Min Gyu is our only suspect.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I mean...
- Jin Woo!
- Hey, Oh Jin Woo!
How dare you show up here? How did you get here?
What is going on?
Mr. Oh Jin Woo is under arrest without a warrant as the suspect of the serial murders.
This is the evidence.
Investigator Baek, it will take a while to investigate, so...
please go ahead and request a warrant.
What? An arrest warrant?
You! Are you crazy?
Hey! Are you joking right now?
What evidence do you have to get a warrant for an innocent kid?
Detective Oh,
it might be a good idea to let me go.
I can't.
Then tell me why you're trying to make Jin Woo into a murderer.
- Tell me, you asshole!
- Jin Sang!
Let him go, and then talk.
Come on!
Fine. Let me hear why you're going down the wrong road.
Start blabbing.
Suspect Oh Jin Woo admitted that he visited
the gallery where the first murder occurred. Of course...
his alibi at the time of the crime was not at all proven.
On the day of the second murder, he went to the cafe where the victim was killed.
He lives out of town, yet happened to be in Seoul that day.
On top of that...
- he was at the scene of the crime.
- So?
The third murder also happened in the town Oh Jin Woo lives in.
At this point, doesn't it feel too contrived to say they were coincidences?
Plus, on a list confiscated from a drug dealer that we arrested recently,
[Oh Jin Woo - Chef]
Oh Jin Woo's name was found.
There are several thousands of Oh Jin Woos in this country.
How do you know that's my Jin Woo?
Sure, we don't know the identities of the buyers yet,
so I'll give you that.
But most crucially, the Japanese sashimi knife proved to be the murder weapon.
The same kind of knife stolen from Lee Eun Byul
was in Oh Jin Woo's possession.
I bought it from someone I met on an internet forum.
Is everyone who owns that knife a suspect?
There's another reason.
An hour before the third murder occurred,
the victim had plans to meet Oh Jin Woo. Ten minutes later,
Oh Jin Woo called. It's all in the record.
I did promise to meet her, but I never went to the location.
- I called her to cancel.
- Detective Yook!
- Take him to the interrogation room.
- Yes.
Sunbae. I get it, but this is an impossible scenario.
Impossible?
- Why?
- I'm a cop.
Are you telling me that I've been living with a serial killer for the past 30 years?
Do you know what the most important trait of a detective is?
Your gut. Intuition. The sixth sense. Not your head!
You've seen my Jin Woo too.
Does your gut tell you that he's guilty?
I don't believe in "gut."
I don't need someone on my team who lets his feelings get in the way of solving the case.
What? Feelings?
You're the one hell-bent on making my Jin Woo the murderer.
Prime suspect Bae Min Gyu keeps weaseling himself away
and you feel like you're going to choke, no?
You talked the talk, and now you're goddamn scared that this case is going to close unsolved.
And then, you catch Jin Woo by coincidence.
You want to push this through and finish the case, no?
That's what you're trying to do!
Money buys innocence!
- Are they fighting?
- Cherry-picking cases to work on based on who the victim is.
You, prosecutors, have done this for ages.
I bet it's been a smooth road so far, targeting the vulnerable.
But you picked the wrong person to mess with.
Jin Woo is not the perp, so let him go right now.
Hey, Go Young Joo. This motherf***er Prosecutor Cha
made you and I investigate Bae Min Gyu, and now he's trying to make Jin Woo the perp.
Bae Min Gyu is the son of an assemblyman, right?
They switched you out from the main prosecutor role
to bring this guy in. It's all a rigged game.
We can't back off right now.
Detective Oh, you have a great imagination.
Such a tired bias to assume that everyone in power is evil.
If you're a real detective,
stop making a scene and start thinking like a detective.
I'm not really in the mood to request disciplinary action for obstruction of justice.
What? Disciplinary action?
- You son of a-
- Stop!
What's going on?
- Why? Why don't you just sue me?
- Oh Jin Sang.
I grabbed you by the collar. Why don't you add an assault charge?
You're overreacting!
Did you forget I said no overreacting?
I'm overreacting?
You don't have siblings. Don't run your mouth if you don't get it!
Is he crazy? What is he doing?
What is that alarm? Are you requesting backup or something?
Let them all come in!
Hey! Where are you going, asshole? Cha Young Woon, come back!
I'm not done talking!
- Oh Jin Sang!
- Detective!
Calm down.
Oh, my.
He briefly showed symptoms of arrhythmia,
but his heart rate is back to normal.
I think it's temporary,
but we prepared a room just in case.
Why don't you stay here? I'll go.
If something goes wrong, bring him over here.
Yes, ma'am.
Here you go.
I'm sorry.
I told you he has a hard time controlling his emotions.
How did someone like that pass the police temperament test?
Does he know someone high up?
He loves his little brother.
But Sunbae.
- I agree with Detective Oh.
- What?
Young Joo. Not you too.
Look at the situation at hand and the facts.
Okay. I understand it looks suspicious. I get it.
Well, but I've known Jin Woo since he was young.
Jin Woo is a really sweet kid.
That doesn't mean he's not a killer.
Of course.
But this case is a carefully premeditated series of murders.
So?
Think about the murder weapon.
If he wasn't deliberately trying to get caught,
why did Jin Woo use his beloved knife for the crime?
Was he trying to advertise, "I'm the perp"?
Jin Woo is smart.
He could have used reverse psychology to his advantage.
Like you said, he's a smart kid.
Jin Woo...
can't even kill an ant.
That's my experience of knowing Jin Woo.
Whether Oh Jin Woo is deemed guilty or freed,
the facts will determine that.
Oh Jin Sang.
Calm down, please.
No thanks.
I'll bring the evidence to put Bae Min Gyu behind bars.
Get a warrant ready for that asshole.
Oh Jin Sang!
Yes?
Hyung!
What happened?
There was a small scene, but it's no big deal.
And Assemblyman Bae's son is no longer a suspect.
It's been awkward with Assemblyman Bae, thank goodness.
So, how about the other suspect?
It will be handled soon.
I worked hard to raise him.
I really need to get his hands off of murder cases now.
[National Forensic Service]
Run the weapon simulation again with this knife.
We already sent over the results last time.
Why are you doing it again?
We need to look into something additionally.
I see. Sure.
Crazy bastard.
Excuse me?
Oh, no.
- Please get started.
- All right.
How dare you suspect my Jin Woo?
Excuse me, Hyung.
My older brother, I mean.
He has a hot temper.
Please try to understand.
You have an amazing brother.
If I were him, I would have done the same thing.
That's what brothers do.
If I don't understand Detective Oh,
do you think it's because I don't have any siblings?
Prosecutor...
I think you are a good person.
All right.
Mr. Oh Jin Woo, on the day of the first murder last May,
you said you went to a gallery exhibit, correct?
Yes. I did.
How about the cafe where the second murder occurred?
That was the last day of an exhibit by an artist I like.
After I checked out the exhibit,
I stopped by a cafe near where I was staying.
That was when someone died inside that cafe.
Can't you check the CCTVs and see?
Coincidentally, the CCTVs of the motel and the cafe
were not in service.
You said you purchased the Japanese sashimi knife from someone you met on an internet forum.
Did you meet them in person?
No.
I bought it online.
When was that?
- I think around May.
- Do you know the exact dates?
I don't really...
I bought it from someone with the username "lemontree."
If you look at the transaction, you'll see the dates.
"Lemontree" also told me about the exhibit.
I went to the cafe because they asked to meet there.
- Lemontree?
- Yes.
I met them in the chats.
I've never seen their face.
And that day,
they never showed up.
Young Joo!
Aigoo, what in the world is going on?
Which way do I go?
Where? Where?
- That way?
- This way?
Aigoo! They're saying Jin Woo is a murder suspect? No way!
As you see, the chats match up with Oh Jin Woo's testimony.
[I think you priced the knife too low. And you're selling it on a photo forum. Maybe you don't know much about knives?]
I sent officers to the internet cafe where lemontree's IP was tracked.
The dates for the wire transfer to purchase the knife...
I'll be able to find out when the bank opens.
Got it.
Okay, everyone...
That night, Ms. Hong, Jin Woo, and I
played Go-stop.
From what time were you together?
Well, I went to the restaurant around 7 p.m.
I think we played until 1 a.m.
When you were playing cards in the room that night,
could you sketch the seating spots where each of you was sitting?
This was me.
This was Jin Woo.
I go over to this house often,
so I know it well.
Their sofa is really nice.
Here, this is it.
(Identical)
Did I do it wrong?
Did Oh Jin Woo ever leave during the game?
Yes.
He said he was hungry and went to make mixed noodles.
He left for a bit.
How long was he gone?
Well... I think...
I don't really remember.
You had a late-night snack the night the high schooler died?
Yes. I made some mixed noodles.
Did you use that as an excuse to leave the restaurant?
Nagari! Darn.
- Let's go again.
- It's hard to get nagari unless you're very good.
Doc, aren't you guys hungry?
I guess I am a bit peckish.
Should I go make mixed noodles?
- Yes, please!
- Yes, please!
- Be right back.
- Jinx.
Should we go again?
[Hae Ju]
Oppa, come to the pavilion quick. I need to talk to you tonight.
[Mom]
Yeah, Mom.
Hey! Did you get lost making noodles?
Hurry on back!
- We're starving!
- Okay.
Got it.
[Hae Ju]
I'm telling the truth.
If I don't bring Mom food on time, she gets really mad.
He went out to make mixed noodles and didn't come back.
So I called him.
Maybe 20 minutes after I called...
He came back with mixed noodles pretty quickly.
See me for a sec.
Dr. Chu isn't family.
The alibi was cross-checked, right?
Let Jin Woo go, Sunbae.
He left for a while to make noodles, no?
Fine, let's say he left.
Thirty minutes? No...
let's make it generous and just say an hour.
It takes at least 10 minutes from the house to the crime scene.
Minus the travel time,
could he have committed murder, hung up the corpse to display,
and make noodles on top of that? Is he Superman?
No one has a perfect memory.
Maybe Oh Jin Woo left for longer than they thought.
Sunbae!
Jin Woo is not a flight risk.
Oh Jin Sang and I can prove his identity.
You're not justified in putting him in custody.
If you really need to, you can always call him back. So stop!
Hey.
I get it about Oh Jin Sang.
Why are you doing this?
Jin Woo...
- is my family.
- Go Young Joo!
I thought your strength was to be fair without exception.
Oh Jin Woo has an alibi for the third murder, but he's still a strong suspect.
Stop trying to convince me using your feelings. It won't work.
You might be leading the investigative team,
but I'm also a prosecutor on this case.
I think it's a stretch to put Oh Jin Woo into custody.
If you don't release him, I'll apply for the warrant to be examined.
How could they do this to him...
Aigoo, Young Joo, Young Joo!
Jin Woo will be free to go soon, right?
Don't worry. They'll release him soon.
Aigoo, really?
Aigoo.
Aigoo, Dr. Chu, thank goodness you wanted to play cards that day.
Dr. Chu, you saved my Jin Woo's life.
Ma'am, I simply told the truth as is.
Hey, don't even get me started.
They used to put Jin Woo on a pedestal, calling him Buddha.
Now they act like they don't know him, calling him a murderer.
It's so unfair. I could die.
When Jin Woo gets out, I'm going to pour shit all over these bastards' mouths.
Ma'am... feces is a bit...
I know! I'm just pissed off!
Don't worry about Jin Woo, and go home.
All right.
Young Joo, I trust you.
The polygraph says he's telling the truth.
[Results of Polygraph]
[Questions / Results of Polygraph]
[All concluded as truth]
- Got it.
- All right, then.
[Digital Analysis Report]
What is this?
I ran the test again with Jin Woo's knife. The cut looks different.
[Appraisal Report]
[The knife has the same material, but the wound length, shape, and match rate have far decreased]
Why? Because Jin Woo had his own way of sharpening the knife.
Are you working on your day off?
He used different materials to make his own whetstone.
It might be the same product and model,
but it's basically a different knife.
That's why the surface and the cut all look different.
You're a blind worshipper of logic and facts, Prosecutor Cha. Aren't these the results you want?
I overlooked this aspect.
I checked Dr. Chu's testimony on Oh Jin Woo's third case.
Let him out of custody.
Let's do that for now.
Doesn't it feel empty to ignore reality and imagine things?
You imagine that Jin Woo might be the murderer.
It's interesting,
but it's a fantasy to me.
The case isn't over yet.
He might have another weapon or have discarded it.
Of course.
But doesn't that...
also apply to Bae Min Gyu?
Anyway.
Hey! Wait for me!
Noona.
I must have had you worried.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
Let's go home.
- Follow my car.
- No thanks.
We're going to a motel.
Why? Don't waste money.
Sleepover at my place.
Do you tell just any guy to stay the night?
What?
Are you crazy?
You two are not "just any guys." Just follow me!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
She always just hits me.
My gosh...
Come on in.
Why are you shocked? It's not the first time you've seen this.
It's the worst I've ever seen.
It's good enough for you two to sleep.
I'll sleep in my room.
Or do you guys want the room?
Oh, no, no.
All right, clean up as you like and sleep.
Here we are.
I'm sorry, Hyung.
Why are you sorry?
It's the incompetent prosecutor's fault.
But I have you, Mom, and Young Joo noona. I feel so safe.
Dude. Stop being cringe.
I've always been the troublemaker.
I never thought this day would come.
Hey, get into trouble every once in a while.
I like acting like a big brother.
But don't be a murder suspect again. It blows.
Prosecutor Cha seems like a decent person, right?
What do you mean, decent?
Every bone in his body is elitist.
I bet he'll claim to have invented the whole galaxy soon.
Another prosecutor would have messed with you already.
Whatever. He's an arrogant bastard.
But Jin Woo.
This is the first time we've slept in the same room in Seoul, away from home, right?
Hyung, let's travel from now on,
and stay at nice hotels. Let's enjoy life.
Aigoo, just the two of us? What fun is that?
Meet a nice girl soon and get married.
You should get married before me.
Not in this life, I think.
Hyung.
You still really like Young Joo noona, don't you?
Dude. Romance is about staying in your league.
What's wrong with you?
She's a prosecutor, you know.
She's not in the league of a country bumpkin detective.
People's hearts are biological creatures, so you never know how people change.
The moment I expect Young Joo to be different, I'll get hurt.
I think Prosecutor Cha likes Young Joo noona.
I don't know.
They're both prosecutors from top schools, so they could be a match.
But I think Young Joo noona
would make a better match with you.
Hey, man. That's because I'm your brother.
Your elbow doesn't bend outward.
Of course, you're my big brother.
So basic.
Of course, I'm your big brother. Am I your little brother?
So where do you stay when you're in Seoul?
There's a spare room in the investigative offices.
It's a short-term assignment. I didn't want to pay for a room.
Go to sleep.
You need to head home tomorrow.
Chin up, don't hide.
I'm going to get the perp, so watch out.
- Got it?
- You're so cool, Hyung!
Gosh...
What's with you? So gross...
- You're so cool.
- Move! You're too heavy.
Don't you dare.
[Lee Eun Byul's Manager]
We'll be in Seoul soon.
What?
I'm going to get the real perp.
Go to sleep.
[Victim Yoo Seo Hyun, Age 41]
[Victim Park Ji Hee, Age 31]
[Victim Lee Hae Ju]
Oh Jin Woo's camera's memory card was factory reset.
We're recovering it through digital forensics.
Why would he get rid of important data?
Anyway, if Oh Jin Woo is telling the truth,
someone with the username "lemontree" is trying to frame him.
So the priority is to find lemontree.
What about the text that the Woojin victim sent to Oh Jin Woo?
If the real perp is out there,
they must have sent it from the victim's phone.
Right.
But Prosecutor Cha.
You look tired. You should go home for the night.
Oh, sure.
That's a good idea.
- You should go home too, Detective Yook.
- Okay.
Overreacting?
You don't have siblings. Don't run your mouth if you don't get it!
If I were him, I would have done the same thing.
That's what brothers do.
Jin Woo...
is my family.
Brothers.
Family.
So complicated.
That nutcase...
What do you expect from me?
You and Eun Byul. You're both "one of them" to me.
What?
"One of them"?
- You asshole.
- Crazy bastard...
Does he think I'm stupid?
Let's go!
Yes, Detective Yook. You called?
What?
What did you just say?
It's late. What brings you here?
Hey, what?
Look who's here. Did we all gather to see him?
What is this?
Pictures that Oh Jin Woo took...
then deleted.
We recovered them through forensics.
Their extreme cruelty is blatant,
and the sever on the ankle
could be speculated as an ankle fetish.
♫ Right, everything will be alright for now ♫
♫ Break it all down till we get to the end ♫
♫ I'm lost and wander in the maze alone ♫
♫ Break you all down ♫
♫ No one can hold me back ♫
♫ Somewhere on this path ♫
[Longing for You]
- Did you take these photos?
- Yes.
Is money more important to you than someone's life?
From this point on, this case is now public.
It must be nice not to have a chip on your shoulder.
Hey, Go Young Joo, do you want to marry me?
We waited for a long time. Let's begin.
The lemontree account that Oh Jin Woo sent the money for the knife is under the name Lee Mi Jin.
Lee Sung Yong, the nurse at Bae Min Gyu Dental Clinic.
It's Lee Sung Yong's older sister.
♫ Looking it up ♫

[Episode 2]
- Hey.
- What's going on?
What in the world is going on here?
Geez...
Hye Soo, that girl hasn't come home yet.
[Psycho Jin Sang]
Why isn't he picking up?
- Who?
- Oh Jin Sang, my friend.
You met him at the restaurant earlier.
Why are you calling him at this hour?
I'm going to ask him to bring me my car.
You must be close.
We're dating. Why?
Dating or not dating, I don't care.
I'm not jealous at all. You failed.
I don't feel anxious at all.
Gosh, what's with him?
Hey. Why aren't you picking up?
Are you drinking?
Hey, there's been a murder incident.
But...
What?
The corpse is hanging like laundry?
Excessive bleeding from cutting off the Achilles' tendon?
We're on our way to the scene, Jin Sang.
Give us more context when we get there.
- Sunbae.
- Turn the car around.
Let me ask you a favor.
You're the president of the town, Town Chief.
Look into any external vehicles that entered.
Excuse me.
How come you fancy people are interested in a podunk town case?
- I'd like to start by checking out the corpse.
- Oh, yes.
Step aside.
It's likely that this murder case is the doing of an outsider.
Since the incident took place relatively recently, the culprit might still be in Woojin.
Conduct a concentrated search of this hill,
and get a hold of all external-facing checkpoints and CCTVs.
- Get moving!
- Yes, sir!
Sunbae.
What about Hae Ju's mom?
I heard she passed out.
The girl who was fine just this morning, and look at her now.
Damn it.
- Detective Oh.
- What's up?
About this case. We need to transfer it to Seoul.
Do fancy people lack basic common sense?
This case took place in my jurisdiction and belongs to me, Oh Jin Sang.
Why would you take it to Seoul?
That's classified information related to the investigation.
We've issued the paperwork to the Chief,
so unless something extraordinary happens, it'll be transferred to Seoul.
What if I say no?
It would be a little annoying,
- but the result will be the same.
- I see.
Is that so?
In that case, let me help you with that annoying part.
Of course.
Thank you for your cooperation.
- Let's head back.
- We're leaving.
Stop.
Not for free.
What?
Count me in.
You're suggesting we take Jin Sang?
It's not a bad idea to have a detective who's familiar with the crime site.
You left Woojin a long time ago.
He's an unpredictable character. He'll make some noise.
Do you think you can handle him?
Well, those types sometimes create breakthroughs.
Well, if it's for that reason.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Detecting Oh.
I have conditions too.
Cursing, violence, and overreacting.
None of that's allowed in our investigation team.
Can you do it?
Prosecutor Cha, is this your first time investigating?
Leave the scene to us day laborers.
You stay put in the fancy prosecutor's seat.
Take a sip of tea as we prepare for the transfer.
Yeah?
♫ Die once, but never die twice, I'm coming ♫
♫ Woo hoo ♫
You're heading to Seoul?
Gosh, that's what I said.
Who do you think I am?
I'm the invincible Detective Oh.
Oh Jin Sang.
Even the cream-of-the-crop prosecutors can't do without me.
He was begging me to cooperate in the investigation.
I would've said no under any other circumstance,
but I said yes for Young Joo's sake.
Does that mean you're moving your headquarters to Seoul?
No.
They might be desperate to hold on to me,
but I'm high maintenance.
I like my hometown.
I'll go catch them the perp and return home in glory.
What a relief.
Anyway, take care of yourself.
Gosh, yes. Don't act out and get stabbed by the murderer or whatever.
Control yourself.
Gosh, knock on wood.
Anyway, don't make Jin Woo worry about you while I'm gone.
Stop being so extra.
Mind your own business.
I ironed this.
[Investigation Team 5]
Aigoo, hello!
I'm Oh Jin Sang.
Oh, this?
I'm the ambassador of my hometown.
This is a specialty of our region. Have you had it?
It's royally delicious queen crab.
Here, here. Don't be surprised, everyone.
This is Detective Oh, who will be working with us.
Say hello.
Is your name really Jin Sang*?
(It means "nuisance" in Korean)
The real story is quite long.
His real name is Oh Jin Seong.
I called him Jin Sang after his nasty personality,
and now others call him Jing Sang like it's his real name.
I'm Yook Jung Tae of Seocho Police Station.
Seocho?
I figured you were plucked away from an island somewhere.
Sergeant Oh. I'm Lieutenant Yook Jung Tae.
Oh, sorry.
You're smacking me in the face with your insignia.
Anyway, we'll only be seeing each other on a temporary basis,
so let's take off our insignia.
Sure, why not.
I'm cool with that.
I'm Criminal Investigator Baek Mi Ja.
Let's get along.
Wow, you're as charismatic as an inspector general.
I'm Investigator Park Do Hyuk.
Nice to meet you.
All right. Let's continue the meeting.
Let's first discuss the third murder that took place in Woojin.
We're in the process of checking out external vehicles that entered Woojin.
How are you so sure that the culprit is an outsider?
There have been eight criminal cases in Woojin in the past thirty years.
Those were on the level of burglary, assault, arson, and gang fights.
There hasn't been a single murder case in Woojin in the last thirty years.
Plus, the logical conclusion is that
a bizarre case like this is statistically impossible.
I agree with Detective Oh on this.
I know my hometown well.
So, Prosecutor Go, you remain that Bae Min Gyu is the prime suspect?
Of course.
In that case, what connects Woojin to Bae Min Gyu-
Here.
There's a luxury vacation villa near the crime scene in Woojin.
That villa is owned by Assemblyman Bae Tae Ook, Bae Min Gyu's father.
[Bae Tae Ook]
I guess your impatience is not always a bad thing.
Prosecutor Cha, do you like pork intestines?
"You work fast and do good work."
You're bending over backward not to have to say that to me.
Go forth like a man.
A man goes forth!
What do you think? Bae Min Gyu.
Don't you think we can arrest him without a warrant?
No.
We need to check his alibi first.
We've been burned more than once.
All right, great.
Detective Oh, look further into the alibi for the third Bae Min Gyu incident.
Detective Yook, you look into the female high schooler victim of Woojin.
Yes.
Is there any special reason for that?
I figured he'd be more objective than you, born and bred there.
I accept that.
Criminal Investigator Baek, nudge forensics for results from the third incident.
- Let's get moving.
- Yes.
Baek Mi Ja, nudge extraordinaire, is on her way!
I'm on my way too.
Who said no to Yang Hee Joo joining the investigation team?
- Did you say no, Sunbae?
- No.
Wait...
It's you, wasn't it, Sunbae?
I'm aware I was the one who up and left first.
But I wasn't being for real.
How could you exclude me from the case for something I did in a fit of anger? Don't you think?
Detective Oh.
Let's get going.
Wow.
I'm talking right now.
Where are you going?
Hey, who's that nutjob?
Seeing she's calling you sunbae,
- is she a prosecutor by chance?
- Yeah.
Her name's Yang Hee Joo. She was my junior in school.
You'll get used to her.
Hey, her background is even funnier.
Huh? Why?
You'll see what I mean.
Anyway.
You better meet Bae Min Gyu tomorrow.
To be honest, I don't believe him, especially his alibi from his first incident with his wife.
His second incident alibi was also a seminar, but who knows if he stayed the whole time?
They're all doctor colleagues who know each other.
You're smelling something fishy?
This is between us, but
that's the feeling I get.
Okay.
- Let me look into that as well.
- Okay.
Thanks for taking care of it.
Hey, Go Young Joo.
We're a team, right?
Happy?
Yes, very happy.
Hey, hey, hey.
- Fighting!
- What's wrong with you?
[Bae Min Gyu Dental Clinic]
Do you work here?
Yes.
- Doctor?
- No.
- I'm a nurse's aide.
- I see.
Who are you?
What were you up to two days ago on Tuesday?
Our dental clinic closes every Tuesday.
Oh, I see.
I was on vacation until yesterday and just got back to work today.
All I did during vacation was play video games at home, though.
[Woojin Town Chief]
Ae Ra from Hobak Cafe was
delivering some food and slightly bumped into an external vehicle.
She snapped a photo just in case.
Open.
Open up.
It's bleeding.
Are you okay, Doctor?
I'm okay.
Let me go back in.
Whoa, he's got chaotic taste.
Are you a new face on the job?
- You must work out.
- Golf, swimming, and so on.
Wow, the biceps.
Wow, your chest muscles.
I bet you can take on two strong young men.
You still got business with me?
Anyway.
How's my Prosecutor Go Young Joo doing?
What were you up to between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.?
two days ago on Tuesday?
Two days ago, two days ago...
Why should I answer that?
Another person died that night.
In the same manner your wife died.
I see...
Oppa, why are you not picking up?
Here she is. I was at a hotel with her.
Oh, really.
- Hotel?
- Yeah.
- Where?
- We only go to Seoul Hotel.
Who's this?
A detective.
Are you the girlfriend?
You're a totally different style from Lee Eun Byul.
What? Lee Eun Byul?
Oppa, are you still seeing her?
Hey, what do you expect from me?
You and Eun Byul. You're both "one of them" to me.
What? One of them?
You asshole.
You son of a bitch. You said you only love me.
You said you only want me. Only me! Only me!
Do you know how expensive this is?
Gosh, really.
Wow, are purses more expensive than wrists these days?
You're all nuts.
Excuse me.
We weren't together two nights ago.
It's a lie.
You asshole.
Hey.
I was just playing.
Wow, what an asshole. You're funny.
Do you think the police are a joke?
Let me ask you again.
What were you doing between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. two nights ago?
Not sure.
I don't remember so well, unfortunately.
Wow.
Hey. It's illegal to do this without a warrant.
Bae Min Gyu. According to Paragraph 2 of Article 211 of the Criminal Procedure Law,
those who are actively being pursued as a culprit,
those who are evading questions,
and those who are at risk of fleeing or destroying evidence
are considered de facto offenders.
That's why it's legal for me to arrest you.
Got it?
How fun.
Must've been hard memorizing everything.
Thank you, asshole.
Let's go.
I'm late because of the traffic.
You should've let us take care of it. You're busy these days.
I better be the one cooking for Young Woon.
- Let me look at the menu.
- Here it is.
Chopsteak and radish rolls.
He's going to love it.
Gosh, your mom's herself, as always.
- Have you eaten?
- Yes, I have.
Gosh, if I have to live up to my mom, I don't think I could ever be a parent.
I feel you.
I heard you launched a joint investigation team with the police.
You must've heard from Hee Joo.
This is a serious embargo.
- It's a sensitive case.
- Got it.
You've always broken your promises after saying you got it.
I've let it go thus far out of respect for your work ethic.
- But this is a real no-no.
- Relax.
I really got it.
Gosh. You sure answer easily.
I saw a weird country bumpkin-looking detective.
Oh, you saw him?
Yeah. I heard he's Go Young Joo's friend.
Yeah, maybe it's due to the regional culture of the town,
- but they somehow are similar.
- Aigoo...
He must have a temper.
That's Young Joo's selling point.
Is it?
Anyway, I hope the country detective doesn't interfere with the investigation.
- Surprisingly, he seems competent.
- Oh, yeah?
Sunbae.
Yeah, Young Joo. What's up?
Detective Oh.
You went too far.
If the lawyer sues us for unlawful arrest,
the investigation is over.
So it's okay for him to go back on his alibi in front of a detective?
Plus, he's a suspect in the murder!
I thought I made it clear.
No cursing is allowed here.
Gosh, nothing's allowed around here.
What does a prosecutor who's never caught a thief with his own hands know about investigations?
Detective Oh.
Who'll take responsibility once we lose everything after following the damn procedure?
Oh Jin Sang!
Here. Look here.
Do you think my brain's made of tofu?
Bae Min Gyu's car was photographed in Woojin city center on the day of the crime.
I got this from Woojin. Happy now?
Prosecutor Go Young Joo, when are you coming in here?
I came in to see you, Prosecutor Go Young Joo.
Hurry in here and break me free.
- That asshole...
- You need to stop.
- Calm down.
- He just sexually harassed you.
And? You're going to beat him up?
Calm down, calm down.
I can deal with that.
Looks like you'll need to watch your temper.
Oh, by the way, Detective Oh.
You said Woojin hasn't seen a murder case in 50 years.
- And?
- Then...
wouldn't that mean this is your first murder case?
It's true I've never caught a thief on the scene.
But I don't think that means you can look down on my investigation methods.
Look at this.
I must have really hurt your feelings.
Don't come at me for a silly joke I made.
I was kidding.
It's not funny.
You must not know about this about me, fancy Prosecutor Cha.
Why do you think I've only been at the Woojin Police Station?
I started in violent crimes at a war zone port town infested with gangs.
Murder suspect?
I've seen more than I can count with my fingers.
You mean...
you saw them but haven't caught them?
Whether it's a header or a penalty kick,
it's all a goal.
This vehicle was spotted in Woojin on the day of the murder.
You must've been in Woojin on the day of the incident.
I guess my car was there, yes.
But I was in Seoul.
The car drove itself to Woojin?
Prosecutor Go, I have many cars.
I think I have around six.
This car here is out of style.
I got sick of it. I don't care who drives it.
- You lent it to someone?
- Not sure.
- I don't quite remember.
- Bae Min Gyu.
Here you go.
- Prosecutor Go, when you're mad like this-
- I'm sexy.
I know I'm sexy.
So, shut up.
Do you think you can get away with claiming that the murder weapon was stolen again?
You could've gotten doubles or triples of the same knife.
It may take time,
but the truth will come out, so you better tell the truth.
Between 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Where were you?
I was on an online medical show.
It was a live stream.
Check it out.
You too.
[Doctor Buddy]
[Doctor Bae Min Gyu]
[Streaming time: September 9th, 2022, 21:00-22:50]
How does this make any sense?
Bae Min Gyu's car was in Woojin on the day of the crime,
but he was on a live stream medical show in Seoul
and he lent the car to someone but can't remember who?
Gosh, really.
Prosecutor Cha.
And Prosecutor Go.
Here's the paperwork that proves my client's alibi.
Excuse me. I understand your stance,
but how come he remembers his alibi from the day of the incident,
but can't remember who he lent his car to two days ago?
He can't remember?
You know it's perjury to claim you don't remember when you actually do remember, right?
My client seems to be suffering from
short-term memory loss due to extreme stress.
If necessary, I will submit a doctor's note.
I'd like to take off now.
Gosh.
Bae Min Gyu, that asshole. I observed how he acts at the dental clinic.
Wow, I got chills down my spine.
That kind of person goes on a pro bono advice show he's never been on before?
And somehow, on the exact night of the incident?
Plus, his car was near the murder scene.
Coincidences only go so far.
The problem is the alibi.
He does have an alibi for all three incidents.
If we can disprove even just one of the three alibis...
That'll justify us arresting him.
I will tear apart that asshole's alibi.
How?
Just wait and see.
Why did you get here so late, Attorney Choi?
I apologize.
Hey.
Do you enjoy messing around with government authorities?
You seem to be stuck in a victim mentality.
I don't like your face, but I keep missing it.
Bow down.
Gosh, you're a cute one.
We'll see each other soon enough, yeah?
Sure.
Hello?
This is Detective Oh Jin Sang.
I need to look into Lee Eun Byul more for an investigation.
Where are you right now?
Eun Byul already gave a full testimony.
You can't tell people what to do whenever you want just because you're a cop.
Look, Mr. Manager.
Reporters are swarming like mad dogs after finding out
that Lee Eun Byul provided an alibi for Bae Min Gyu.
I've kept my mouth shut to protect her.
Gosh, Detective, I had no idea.
We're filming on-site in a rural area right now.
We'll be back up late at night.
Sure, sure. Call me as soon as you get through the Seoul toll gate.
- Got it?
- Yes, got it.
Also,
- hello?
- Geez! You think you're all that just because you're a cop?
Geez, that rude son of a bitch.
He thinks he's the celeb.
Oh, I see.
I don't know what the situation was, but...
The body...
- Anyone?
- Oh Jin Woo oppa...
Oh Jin Woo?
[Pogoo Restaurant]
The body was draped...
[Ketamine Buyers List]
[Names]
Yes, Detective Yook.
According to the friends of the victim,
Oh Jin Woo was close to her.
Wait a minute.
Oh Jin Woo, as in Detective Oh Jin Sang's brother?
Yes, and also,
check out the file I just sent you via email.
- Please open it.
- Yes, give me a second.
If you look at the victim's call history,
around 8 p.m., an hour before the incident,
[Text Message Analysis Report]
she exchanged texts with Oh Jin Woo.
They discussed meeting up near the murder site.
Yes, also,
there's a record of Oh Jin Woo calling the victim after ten minutes.
[Oh Jin Woo - Chef]
The knives over there look cool.
Detective Yook. Let's do this.
- Mr. Oh Jin Woo?
- Yes.
Can I see your knife?
Let's say Lee Eun Byul is telling the truth, and the sashimi knife that was gifted got stolen.
You could buy the same one and commit the crime twice, thrice.
The issue is,
it's a high-end item with not too many vendors,
but if they used cash, we can't track who bought it.
Gosh. It was a premeditated crime. They must have used cash.
- Let's go ahead and check.
- Yes.
But Bae Min Gyu and Lee Eun Byul,
neither of them seems that normal, do they?
I don't think...
it's right to assume Bae Min Gyu is our only suspect.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
I mean...
- Jin Woo!
- Hey, Oh Jin Woo!
How dare you show up here? How did you get here?
What is going on?
Mr. Oh Jin Woo is under arrest without a warrant as the suspect of the serial murders.
This is the evidence.
Investigator Baek, it will take a while to investigate, so...
please go ahead and request a warrant.
What? An arrest warrant?
You! Are you crazy?
Hey! Are you joking right now?
What evidence do you have to get a warrant for an innocent kid?
Detective Oh,
it might be a good idea to let me go.
I can't.
Then tell me why you're trying to make Jin Woo into a murderer.
- Tell me, you asshole!
- Jin Sang!
Let him go, and then talk.
Come on!
Fine. Let me hear why you're going down the wrong road.
Start blabbing.
Suspect Oh Jin Woo admitted that he visited
the gallery where the first murder occurred. Of course...
his alibi at the time of the crime was not at all proven.
On the day of the second murder, he went to the cafe where the victim was killed.
He lives out of town, yet happened to be in Seoul that day.
On top of that...
- he was at the scene of the crime.
- So?
The third murder also happened in the town Oh Jin Woo lives in.
At this point, doesn't it feel too contrived to say they were coincidences?
Plus, on a list confiscated from a drug dealer that we arrested recently,
[Oh Jin Woo - Chef]
Oh Jin Woo's name was found.
There are several thousands of Oh Jin Woos in this country.
How do you know that's my Jin Woo?
Sure, we don't know the identities of the buyers yet,
so I'll give you that.
But most crucially, the Japanese sashimi knife proved to be the murder weapon.
The same kind of knife stolen from Lee Eun Byul
was in Oh Jin Woo's possession.
I bought it from someone I met on an internet forum.
Is everyone who owns that knife a suspect?
There's another reason.
An hour before the third murder occurred,
the victim had plans to meet Oh Jin Woo. Ten minutes later,
Oh Jin Woo called. It's all in the record.
I did promise to meet her, but I never went to the location.
- I called her to cancel.
- Detective Yook!
- Take him to the interrogation room.
- Yes.
Sunbae. I get it, but this is an impossible scenario.
Impossible?
- Why?
- I'm a cop.
Are you telling me that I've been living with a serial killer for the past 30 years?
Do you know what the most important trait of a detective is?
Your gut. Intuition. The sixth sense. Not your head!
You've seen my Jin Woo too.
Does your gut tell you that he's guilty?
I don't believe in "gut."
I don't need someone on my team who lets his feelings get in the way of solving the case.
What? Feelings?
You're the one hell-bent on making my Jin Woo the murderer.
Prime suspect Bae Min Gyu keeps weaseling himself away
and you feel like you're going to choke, no?
You talked the talk, and now you're goddamn scared that this case is going to close unsolved.
And then, you catch Jin Woo by coincidence.
You want to push this through and finish the case, no?
That's what you're trying to do!
Money buys innocence!
- Are they fighting?
- Cherry-picking cases to work on based on who the victim is.
You, prosecutors, have done this for ages.
I bet it's been a smooth road so far, targeting the vulnerable.
But you picked the wrong person to mess with.
Jin Woo is not the perp, so let him go right now.
Hey, Go Young Joo. This motherf***er Prosecutor Cha
made you and I investigate Bae Min Gyu, and now he's trying to make Jin Woo the perp.
Bae Min Gyu is the son of an assemblyman, right?
They switched you out from the main prosecutor role
to bring this guy in. It's all a rigged game.
We can't back off right now.
Detective Oh, you have a great imagination.
Such a tired bias to assume that everyone in power is evil.
If you're a real detective,
stop making a scene and start thinking like a detective.
I'm not really in the mood to request disciplinary action for obstruction of justice.
What? Disciplinary action?
- You son of a-
- Stop!
What's going on?
- Why? Why don't you just sue me?
- Oh Jin Sang.
I grabbed you by the collar. Why don't you add an assault charge?
You're overreacting!
Did you forget I said no overreacting?
I'm overreacting?
You don't have siblings. Don't run your mouth if you don't get it!
Is he crazy? What is he doing?
What is that alarm? Are you requesting backup or something?
Let them all come in!
Hey! Where are you going, asshole? Cha Young Woon, come back!
I'm not done talking!
- Oh Jin Sang!
- Detective!
Calm down.
Oh, my.
He briefly showed symptoms of arrhythmia,
but his heart rate is back to normal.
I think it's temporary,
but we prepared a room just in case.
Why don't you stay here? I'll go.
If something goes wrong, bring him over here.
Yes, ma'am.
Here you go.
I'm sorry.
I told you he has a hard time controlling his emotions.
How did someone like that pass the police temperament test?
Does he know someone high up?
He loves his little brother.
But Sunbae.
- I agree with Detective Oh.
- What?
Young Joo. Not you too.
Look at the situation at hand and the facts.
Okay. I understand it looks suspicious. I get it.
Well, but I've known Jin Woo since he was young.
Jin Woo is a really sweet kid.
That doesn't mean he's not a killer.
Of course.
But this case is a carefully premeditated series of murders.
So?
Think about the murder weapon.
If he wasn't deliberately trying to get caught,
why did Jin Woo use his beloved knife for the crime?
Was he trying to advertise, "I'm the perp"?
Jin Woo is smart.
He could have used reverse psychology to his advantage.
Like you said, he's a smart kid.
Jin Woo...
can't even kill an ant.
That's my experience of knowing Jin Woo.
Whether Oh Jin Woo is deemed guilty or freed,
the facts will determine that.
Oh Jin Sang.
Calm down, please.
No thanks.
I'll bring the evidence to put Bae Min Gyu behind bars.
Get a warrant ready for that asshole.
Oh Jin Sang!
Yes?
Hyung!
What happened?
There was a small scene, but it's no big deal.
And Assemblyman Bae's son is no longer a suspect.
It's been awkward with Assemblyman Bae, thank goodness.
So, how about the other suspect?
It will be handled soon.
I worked hard to raise him.
I really need to get his hands off of murder cases now.
[National Forensic Service]
Run the weapon simulation again with this knife.
We already sent over the results last time.
Why are you doing it again?
We need to look into something additionally.
I see. Sure.
Crazy bastard.
Excuse me?
Oh, no.
- Please get started.
- All right.
How dare you suspect my Jin Woo?
Excuse me, Hyung.
My older brother, I mean.
He has a hot temper.
Please try to understand.
You have an amazing brother.
If I were him, I would have done the same thing.
That's what brothers do.
If I don't understand Detective Oh,
do you think it's because I don't have any siblings?
Prosecutor...
I think you are a good person.
All right.
Mr. Oh Jin Woo, on the day of the first murder last May,
you said you went to a gallery exhibit, correct?
Yes. I did.
How about the cafe where the second murder occurred?
That was the last day of an exhibit by an artist I like.
After I checked out the exhibit,
I stopped by a cafe near where I was staying.
That was when someone died inside that cafe.
Can't you check the CCTVs and see?
Coincidentally, the CCTVs of the motel and the cafe
were not in service.
You said you purchased the Japanese sashimi knife from someone you met on an internet forum.
Did you meet them in person?
No.
I bought it online.
When was that?
- I think around May.
- Do you know the exact dates?
I don't really...
I bought it from someone with the username "lemontree."
If you look at the transaction, you'll see the dates.
"Lemontree" also told me about the exhibit.
I went to the cafe because they asked to meet there.
- Lemontree?
- Yes.
I met them in the chats.
I've never seen their face.
And that day,
they never showed up.
Young Joo!
Aigoo, what in the world is going on?
Which way do I go?
Where? Where?
- That way?
- This way?
Aigoo! They're saying Jin Woo is a murder suspect? No way!
As you see, the chats match up with Oh Jin Woo's testimony.
[I think you priced the knife too low. And you're selling it on a photo forum. Maybe you don't know much about knives?]
I sent officers to the internet cafe where lemontree's IP was tracked.
The dates for the wire transfer to purchase the knife...
I'll be able to find out when the bank opens.
Got it.
Okay, everyone...
That night, Ms. Hong, Jin Woo, and I
played Go-stop.
From what time were you together?
Well, I went to the restaurant around 7 p.m.
I think we played until 1 a.m.
When you were playing cards in the room that night,
could you sketch the seating spots where each of you was sitting?
This was me.
This was Jin Woo.
I go over to this house often,
so I know it well.
Their sofa is really nice.
Here, this is it.
(Identical)
Did I do it wrong?
Did Oh Jin Woo ever leave during the game?
Yes.
He said he was hungry and went to make mixed noodles.
He left for a bit.
How long was he gone?
Well... I think...
I don't really remember.
You had a late-night snack the night the high schooler died?
Yes. I made some mixed noodles.
Did you use that as an excuse to leave the restaurant?
Nagari! Darn.
- Let's go again.
- It's hard to get nagari unless you're very good.
Doc, aren't you guys hungry?
I guess I am a bit peckish.
Should I go make mixed noodles?
- Yes, please!
- Yes, please!
- Be right back.
- Jinx.
Should we go again?
[Hae Ju]
Oppa, come to the pavilion quick. I need to talk to you tonight.
[Mom]
Yeah, Mom.
Hey! Did you get lost making noodles?
Hurry on back!
- We're starving!
- Okay.
Got it.
[Hae Ju]
I'm telling the truth.
If I don't bring Mom food on time, she gets really mad.
He went out to make mixed noodles and didn't come back.
So I called him.
Maybe 20 minutes after I called...
He came back with mixed noodles pretty quickly.
See me for a sec.
Dr. Chu isn't family.
The alibi was cross-checked, right?
Let Jin Woo go, Sunbae.
He left for a while to make noodles, no?
Fine, let's say he left.
Thirty minutes? No...
let's make it generous and just say an hour.
It takes at least 10 minutes from the house to the crime scene.
Minus the travel time,
could he have committed murder, hung up the corpse to display,
and make noodles on top of that? Is he Superman?
No one has a perfect memory.
Maybe Oh Jin Woo left for longer than they thought.
Sunbae!
Jin Woo is not a flight risk.
Oh Jin Sang and I can prove his identity.
You're not justified in putting him in custody.
If you really need to, you can always call him back. So stop!
Hey.
I get it about Oh Jin Sang.
Why are you doing this?
Jin Woo...
- is my family.
- Go Young Joo!
I thought your strength was to be fair without exception.
Oh Jin Woo has an alibi for the third murder, but he's still a strong suspect.
Stop trying to convince me using your feelings. It won't work.
You might be leading the investigative team,
but I'm also a prosecutor on this case.
I think it's a stretch to put Oh Jin Woo into custody.
If you don't release him, I'll apply for the warrant to be examined.
How could they do this to him...
Aigoo, Young Joo, Young Joo!
Jin Woo will be free to go soon, right?
Don't worry. They'll release him soon.
Aigoo, really?
Aigoo.
Aigoo, Dr. Chu, thank goodness you wanted to play cards that day.
Dr. Chu, you saved my Jin Woo's life.
Ma'am, I simply told the truth as is.
Hey, don't even get me started.
They used to put Jin Woo on a pedestal, calling him Buddha.
Now they act like they don't know him, calling him a murderer.
It's so unfair. I could die.
When Jin Woo gets out, I'm going to pour shit all over these bastards' mouths.
Ma'am... feces is a bit...
I know! I'm just pissed off!
Don't worry about Jin Woo, and go home.
All right.
Young Joo, I trust you.
The polygraph says he's telling the truth.
[Results of Polygraph]
[Questions / Results of Polygraph]
[All concluded as truth]
- Got it.
- All right, then.
[Digital Analysis Report]
What is this?
I ran the test again with Jin Woo's knife. The cut looks different.
[Appraisal Report]
[The knife has the same material, but the wound length, shape, and match rate have far decreased]
Why? Because Jin Woo had his own way of sharpening the knife.
Are you working on your day off?
He used different materials to make his own whetstone.
It might be the same product and model,
but it's basically a different knife.
That's why the surface and the cut all look different.
You're a blind worshipper of logic and facts, Prosecutor Cha. Aren't these the results you want?
I overlooked this aspect.
I checked Dr. Chu's testimony on Oh Jin Woo's third case.
Let him out of custody.
Let's do that for now.
Doesn't it feel empty to ignore reality and imagine things?
You imagine that Jin Woo might be the murderer.
It's interesting,
but it's a fantasy to me.
The case isn't over yet.
He might have another weapon or have discarded it.
Of course.
But doesn't that...
also apply to Bae Min Gyu?
Anyway.
Hey! Wait for me!
Noona.
I must have had you worried.
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
Let's go home.
- Follow my car.
- No thanks.
We're going to a motel.
Why? Don't waste money.
Sleepover at my place.
Do you tell just any guy to stay the night?
What?
Are you crazy?
You two are not "just any guys." Just follow me!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
She always just hits me.
My gosh...
Come on in.
Why are you shocked? It's not the first time you've seen this.
It's the worst I've ever seen.
It's good enough for you two to sleep.
I'll sleep in my room.
Or do you guys want the room?
Oh, no, no.
All right, clean up as you like and sleep.
Here we are.
I'm sorry, Hyung.
Why are you sorry?
It's the incompetent prosecutor's fault.
But I have you, Mom, and Young Joo noona. I feel so safe.
Dude. Stop being cringe.
I've always been the troublemaker.
I never thought this day would come.
Hey, get into trouble every once in a while.
I like acting like a big brother.
But don't be a murder suspect again. It blows.
Prosecutor Cha seems like a decent person, right?
What do you mean, decent?
Every bone in his body is elitist.
I bet he'll claim to have invented the whole galaxy soon.
Another prosecutor would have messed with you already.
Whatever. He's an arrogant bastard.
But Jin Woo.
This is the first time we've slept in the same room in Seoul, away from home, right?
Hyung, let's travel from now on,
and stay at nice hotels. Let's enjoy life.
Aigoo, just the two of us? What fun is that?
Meet a nice girl soon and get married.
You should get married before me.
Not in this life, I think.
Hyung.
You still really like Young Joo noona, don't you?
Dude. Romance is about staying in your league.
What's wrong with you?
She's a prosecutor, you know.
She's not in the league of a country bumpkin detective.
People's hearts are biological creatures, so you never know how people change.
The moment I expect Young Joo to be different, I'll get hurt.
I think Prosecutor Cha likes Young Joo noona.
I don't know.
They're both prosecutors from top schools, so they could be a match.
But I think Young Joo noona
would make a better match with you.
Hey, man. That's because I'm your brother.
Your elbow doesn't bend outward.
Of course, you're my big brother.
So basic.
Of course, I'm your big brother. Am I your little brother?
So where do you stay when you're in Seoul?
There's a spare room in the investigative offices.
It's a short-term assignment. I didn't want to pay for a room.
Go to sleep.
You need to head home tomorrow.
Chin up, don't hide.
I'm going to get the perp, so watch out.
- Got it?
- You're so cool, Hyung!
Gosh...
What's with you? So gross...
- You're so cool.
- Move! You're too heavy.
Don't you dare.
[Lee Eun Byul's Manager]
We'll be in Seoul soon.
What?
I'm going to get the real perp.
Go to sleep.
[Victim Yoo Seo Hyun, Age 41]
[Victim Park Ji Hee, Age 31]
[Victim Lee Hae Ju]
Oh Jin Woo's camera's memory card was factory reset.
We're recovering it through digital forensics.
Why would he get rid of important data?
Anyway, if Oh Jin Woo is telling the truth,
someone with the username "lemontree" is trying to frame him.
So the priority is to find lemontree.
What about the text that the Woojin victim sent to Oh Jin Woo?
If the real perp is out there,
they must have sent it from the victim's phone.
Right.
But Prosecutor Cha.
You look tired. You should go home for the night.
Oh, sure.
That's a good idea.
- You should go home too, Detective Yook.
- Okay.
Overreacting?
You don't have siblings. Don't run your mouth if you don't get it!
If I were him, I would have done the same thing.
That's what brothers do.
Jin Woo...
is my family.
Brothers.
Family.
So complicated.
That nutcase...
What do you expect from me?
You and Eun Byul. You're both "one of them" to me.
What?
"One of them"?
- You asshole.
- Crazy bastard...
Does he think I'm stupid?
Let's go!
Yes, Detective Yook. You called?
What?
What did you just say?
It's late. What brings you here?
Hey, what?
Look who's here. Did we all gather to see him?
What is this?
Pictures that Oh Jin Woo took...
then deleted.
We recovered them through forensics.
Their extreme cruelty is blatant,
and the sever on the ankle
could be speculated as an ankle fetish.

From this point on, this case is now public.
It must be nice not to have a chip on your shoulder.
Hey, Go Young Joo, do you want to marry me?
We waited for a long time. Let's begin.
The lemontree account that Oh Jin Woo sent the money for the knife is under the name Lee Mi Jin.
