[SIGNAL]
[EPISODE 12]
Section Chief... what is this?
Section Chief, what happened?
Hold on. I'll call 911.
That... radio.
What?
I heard... Lee Jae Han's voice.
Lieutenant Park Hae Young?
It's me, Lee Jae Han.
Lieutenant, are you listening?
Lieutenant?
There's no way...
There's no way Lee Jae Han
could be alive.
After I heard the radio, I checked.
It was definitely there.
Under those stairs.
What are you saying right now?
I... I...
I killed Lee Jae Han.
What are you...
I killed Detective Lee Jae Han
with my own two hands.
I regret that more than anything.
Section Chief.
If he happens to be alive...
If Detective Lee Jae Han is alive...
tell him that I had no other choice.
I had no choice but to do it.
But...
But why would you, Section Chief?
It all started in Injoo.
Section Chief?
Section Chief, please wake up.
Section Chief!
I'm next to Injoo Hospital.
Someone has been hurt.
Please hurry. It's urgent!
Section Chief, Section Chief!
Why were you there? Just tell us.
Explain yourself!
- What's going on?
- What happened to the Section Chief?
We're still trying to figure that out.
We came after receiving the 911 call.
He was there with the victim.
He's the only witness.
What's with you?
What did you do to the Section Chief!
- What are you doing to one of us?
- How is one of us?
Stop it already!
We don't know anything about
what happened here yet.
Whose blood is that on his hands?
That's the Section Chief's blood!
What's going on?
Where's Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
Doesn't anyone hear me?
What's happened to
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
When we were back on the scene...
he passed away.
Why did you meet
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo in Injoo?
Section Chief Ahn called me.
Regarding a case in 1999.
The gang rape case in Injoo.
He said he had something
to tell me about it.
What?
He said that the case had been fixed.
So the case had been fixed?
In what way?
He hadn't told me that yet.
When I arrived,
he had already been attacked.
Did you see any other
suspicious people on scene?
He was there alone.
What about a weapon?
I did not see one.
What about a witness?
Or the conditions around you?
It was too dark around me.
You're a police officer of this country!
And your direct superior has died,
yet you didn't hear or see anything?
How do you feel, Seoul Metropolitans?
This is your leader.
A leader of all the ace detectives was
murdered in cold-blood on the street.
I'm sure none of you will sleep well
until the killer is caught.
Everyone will be on this case.
Look into Ahn Chi Soo's whereabouts
his cards and records,
and the CCTV around the crime scene.
Look into every investigative file
that you can...
and bring the killer to me.
However...
the Cold Case Squad
is excluded from this case.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
was our boss too.
There's a suspect on your team.
I can't allow you
to take part in the case.
It wasn't me.
- Why would I...
- That's for us to decide!
Start investigating.
Please comply with the investigation,
Lieutenant Park Hae Young.
When you last spoke to him, you agreed
to meet at Injoo Hospital at 11:00 p.m.?
Yes.
Did you tell anyone else?
No.
Neither did the Section Chief.
I looked through his phone records.
His last call was to you.
So the only people
who knew about that meeting
was you and the Section Chief.
Just the two of you.
It was not me.
Why did you fight with
the Section Chief back then?
Back then in the office...
Soju is best with pork belly.
We'll have some after we're done.
If you come near my desk again,
I won't let it go so easily.
What did you talk about
with him that day?
Why did you fight with him?
[AHN CHI SOO]
Oh, what's this?
He had a kid.
He had a daughter?
Looks like she was sick.
Bone marrow cancer?
Yes, both the patient and guardian
had a hard time.
She fought it for a long time.
What about the patient?
He had a daughter.
She suffered from bone marrow cancer
and died three days ago.
The Section Chief never spoke about
his personal life, so no one knew.
I feel ashamed.
What else besides that?
We're looking into CCTVs
around the crime scene area.
There were none set up in the area
that he was killed.
Maybe that's why that place was chosen.
The killer could have planned
to kill him in advance.
What about phone and card records?
We looked into his phone records
on the day that he died.
We found out something strange.
How did you know
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
I'm the owner of a nightclub.
How would I know a police section chief?
You want to give me a straight answer?
He was in charge of a case
involving some of my boys.
Ever since then, I've been an informant
when I come by something useful.
You talked to him
on this day at 3:00 p.m.
What did you talk about?
Gosh, we just chatted about life!
Answer me properly.
If I do answer you,
you're not even going to believe me.
Seriously!
Cops are fighting among themselves.
If I get in the middle of it,
people like me will suffer.
What are you talking about?
A cop talked to me a few weeks ago.
Which cop?
A cop named Park Hae Young.
He came to me and asked me a lot
of questions about Ahn Chi Soo.
Asked you about what?
He asked me if he took bribes
and if he fixed some cases.
He asked me a lot of
questions like that.
So I said I don't know.
I said that I don't know.
But he stuck to me like gum
and continued to harass me.
That's why I called the Section Chief.
I told him to be mindful
of his subordinate.
Park Hae Young looked into
Ahn Chi Soo's background?
- Do you know the reason why?
- No.
No, Park Hae Young is using his right
to remain silent on that matter.
Why did you look into
Ahn Chi Soo's background?
Kim Sung Bum told us everything.
Why were you looking into him?
What in the world are you hiding?
Search Park Hae Young thoroughly.
Look into his past and find out
everything about him.
Find out exactly why he was looking
into Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo.
You find out anything,
you report it to me right away.
I heard that Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
argued with Park Hae Young in the office.
Is that true?
Where did you hear that?
I heard he was hearing
a radio at that time.
Is that right?
Didn't you hear what
the Superintendent said?
Your team is excluded
from this investigation.
Don't try to find out anything more.
Did you happen to find a radio in
the Section Chief's personal items?
With a yellow smile face sticker on it?
I'll say it one more time.
Don't concern yourself with this case.
Don't turn off your cell phone
and don't go anywhere too far.
Act as you always do.
You know that, right?
It doesn't look good.
The Section Chief...
He was divorced and had been
raising a daughter on his own.
He never talked about his personal life,
so no one knew.
That daughter died a few days ago.
She had bone marrow cancer.
All the detectives are about to explode.
And you were with him when he died
but you won't even give
a proper statement.
You could end up taking the fall
if this goes wrong.
I didn't do it.
I know. I trust you.
I don't think you killed him.
That's why I'm asking you this.
Why were you looking into him?
I have to know something
in order to help you.
Detective Lee Jae Han's bribery case...
He was set up.
How do you know that?
You even looked into
Detective Lee Jae Han?
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo and
Kim Sung Bum planned it together.
How do you know that?
Why... why do you...
That's not what's important.
The important thing is that
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
is related to the bribery case.
And there is someone
powerful behind him.
You said that you trust me, right?
I feel that way too.
You're all I have, Detective Cha.
You're the only one I can trust
in the police organization.
You're the only one, Detective Cha.
Do you have evidence?
Do you have proof that the Section Chief
set up Detective Lee Jae Han for bribery?
Before he died, it was just a feeling.
But I'm positive now.
What do you mean by that?
He probably had to take part in
Detective Lee Jae Han's bribery setup.
I asked you what you mean by that?
The Section Chief told me this
before he died.
That he...
killed Detective Lee Jae Han.
Don't lie.
But... the Section Chief...
Why would the Section Chief?
Why would he?
He told me.
That he did it with his own hands.
And that he killed him.
But... but why?
Why? Why would he?
Why would he do that?
It's Injoo.
He said it all started in Injoo.
The case in Injoo.
Detective Lee Jae Han
and the Section Chief...
They all died because of that case.
People who were close to Hae Seung?
Did she have anyone
she was close to at school?
No, she didn't come to school much.
When she did,
she was by herself a lot.
She was always quiet, so teachers
had trouble talking to her too.
From what I hear, she was
dating a boy from "Ingan".
What?
That's ridiculous.
Why would they date a girl like
Kang Hae Seung?
"Ingan" is short for Injoo High School
Student Council Executives, right?
Yes, but those kids have nothing
to do with this incident.
May I see their student files?
What?
Lee Jae Han?
Well, it seems he has requested the files
of the Student Council Executives.
I think he's figured it out.
Has he found out who wrote
that initial post?
Well, the thing is...
It's definitely one of the kids
on the the executive board.
Only one of them could know
about this in so much detail.
Is it so hard to find one student
out of seven kids?
They all say they didn't do it.
What am I supposed to do?
Just because they say that,
you believe them?
You should have done
whatever needed to find him.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
What a load of crap.
If Lee Jae Han finds that kid first,
both you and I are finished.
All seven students have been cut off
from contact like you've instructed.
They won't be possible to contact.
Get them all out of Injoo.
What? Where?
It's vacation anyway.
Just send them to a relative
or on a family trip!
Get them out of Injoo.
Lee Jung Hyuk, Seo Kyung Il,
Joo Hyun Tak.
Baek Min Ho, Kim Soo Kwang, Lee Dong Jin.
Shim Jin Wook.
Yes, so send him to a relative.
There's no time, so send him quickly.
Okay.
They did something a person
should never do to a friend.
But he could not bear the guilt.
And used an online forum
to tell people what they had done.
He is somewhat introverted and sensitive.
He is a kid who can, at least, tell
the difference between right and wrong.
Come in.
Yes.
Go to this house.
He's not getting the phone.
- Okay.
- All right.
Hello there.
I'm with the police.
Have you seen any of these students here?
Hold on.
- Nurse Lee?
- Yes.
Hello, sir. Can I ask you something?
Where is number 275?
It's around here, right?
Hurry up. Go.
What are you doing? Get in.
Why didn't you pick up if you were home?
Here.
Get in!
What you are waiting for, kid? Get in!
Turn your phone off for now.
Don't pick up any calls
unless it's your parents, okay?
Of course, Injoo detectives
are quite something.
You figured it out too, right?
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
This is the kid who wrote it.
Lee Dong Jin, it's you right?
Let's go to the station.
That's why you came, right?
Yes.
Call his parents now.
Sit down.
Lift your head. Look at me.
Lee Dong Jin.
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
"It started with one..."
"and then it was seven people."
"It was ten demons in the end."
I don't know anything.
"Evil is not far away.
It is in our midst."
"She was a friend and classmate,
but they stomped on her like animals."
"They are still among us."
"They laugh and talk
as if nothing has happened."
I don't know anything.
I looked at your school file.
No, I looked at all seven files.
The other six students...
Like you said, they live like
nothing's happened.
They take part in club activities.
They're preparing to run
for class president next year.
But not you.
Since mid-November,
you've been absent and leaving early.
It says it's due to illness.
I don't think you're sick.
Dong Jin, Injoo is a small town.
I can check the hospitals to see
if you've been admitted or not.
You never have.
However, you have gone to
hospitals for other reasons.
Hae Seung.
You went to see Hae Seung a few times,
but left without seeing her.
The nurse saw your picture
and confirmed it.
Dong Jin.
You didn't want to become a demon, right?
Even if you did it because of friends,
it's really something you shouldn't do.
But...
You know that you did something wrong.
So, talk to me.
That "one" that it started with.
Did he tell you to do it?
Tell me from the beginning.
What was your relationship
with Hae Seung?
None.
We had no relationship.
Before that day...
I had never spoken to her before.
That day?
The two of them came to me first.
What brings you by at this hour?
Kang Hae Seung?
What's with this combo?
How did a good kid like you become
friendly with a runaway like her?
Your house is empty
during the day, right?
Can I borrow it once a week
for a while?
Why?
Hae Seung had nowhere to study.
You have your house.
My house is pretty far.
You know how it is.
But what's with you two?
Do you like her or something?
Oh... no, nothing like that.
It's just a tutor-student relationship.
Should we start with the basics?
When there are two unknown quantities
you know this method
has to be used right?
So... you have to do this here.
Okay, so what happened next?
Lee Dong Jin! Where's my Dong Jin?
What is this?
- Get up.
- Hey, what are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Don't you see that he's a minor?
Who gave you permission
to bring him here?
He's a witness to an important case.
Let go of him.
I'm taking my son with me.
Who are you to say anything?
Come on. Let's go!
Mister.
Wait, hey!
Hey, come on!
Just let them go.
We can't.
They'll use whatever excuse they can
to start over with a fake statement.
You're dealing with a minor.
This could become a big problem
if you don't get a proper summons.
The seven executive board members
of Injoo High School.
We can question them and find out.
Who that first "one" is.
Get an official witness summons
and get statements from them.
What are you planning to do?
Are you really going
to reveal everything?
We'll have to get that first "one".
It all started because of him, right?
Are you crazy?
We'll need someone to weather
the storm in his place.
Someone without money or power...
Someone we can sacrifice who would
have no one to protect him.
Where would we find that student?
We just heard it in the statement.
About how it started.
This is all that I've collected.
It was before the CIMS program came out,
so I had to do it manually.
There wasn't anything useful left in
the official files at Headquarters.
I haven't even been able to figure out
what the task force was investigating.
And as you know...
I'm not that close to the detectives
in Violent Crimes.
I tried to get files here and there
from the prosecution side of it.
It was worse than the police files.
[1999 INJOO GANG RAPE CASE FILES]
Before I look at this...
I need to hear your story first.
Back in Injoo, what happened to you?
And to your brother?
What exactly happened?
That's correct.
This one's right too.
This is right.
Oh! They're almost all correct.
This one too.
This is correct.
It's wrong?
- They are all correct.
- Yeah!
Sun Woo, you said you'd grant me
a wish if I got one hundred.
So what's your wish?
Are you really going to grant it?
Yeah, what is it?
I want to go out for dinner
with you, Mom, and Dad.
What? What kind of wish is that?
Seriously, that omelet rice
I had before was so yummy.
Okay, I'll talk to Mom and Dad about it.
Oh, that must be Mom.
Who... who are you?
Are you Park Sun Woo?
Sun Woo, where are you going?
Hae Young, lock the doors and go inside.
Sun Woo, don't leave. I'm scared.
Get inside quickly and lock the doors.
I'll be back soon.
Sun Woo!
Go on back inside. It's cold.
Don't worry about me!
Is that you, Sun Woo?
Excuse me, can you help me
find my brother?
Do you know what time it is?
What are you doing out right now?
- Go home.
- Help me find my brother!
The police took him.
Come back with your mom.
Mister, please!
Come back tomorrow.
- Mister, please!
- Come tomorrow.
Please, sir!
Go on now.
Come back tomorrow!
Sun Woo...
Sun Woo...
Please, Sun Woo's dad.
Why am I his dad?
I don't have a son like him.
Sun Woo wouldn't do something like that.
Then are you saying the cops
dragged away an innocent kid?
Dad, stop. Stop.
Get dressed now, Hae Young!
Dad!
How can you not trust your own son?
I told you, he's not my son!
Pack your clothes, Park Hae Young.
Please, Dad.
After that happened to my brother,
my parents got divorced.
Wait.
I went to Seoul with my dad.
Mom.
I was too young back then.
I didn't know what my brother
had done wrong.
I was just scared.
Mom?
Sun Woo!
I had heard that my brother got out
of the Youth Detention Center.
Even when I went looking for Sun Woo...
Mom!
Sun Woo!
Even when I saw that
he had committed suicide...
I had no idea about why he had done it.
Sun Woo!
I found out why later.
Sun Woo, open your eyes.
Sun Woo!
Park Hae Young?
Is that you?
So it is you.
Do you live around here?
Well...
I still live in Injoo.
After you transferred suddenly,
there was a weird rumor.
You know those gangsters that
went to your brother's school?
One of them gave
a witness statement to the police.
He said your brother skipped
his academy classes...
And was taking the bus
with Kang Hae Seung.
We know your brother well.
He would never skip academy classes.
Everyone said it was strange.
Who?
Which one of those guys
gave that statement?
You know the one with a burn mark
on one of his hands.
I said I can't. What's with you?
Second place? No, it's third.
Why did you do it?
Why did you do that to my brother?
I have to go. Bye.
Are you Park Sun Woo's little brother?
I heard you said you saw my brother
on the bus with Kang Hae Seung.
Did you really see them?
What the hell are you saying?
I asked if you really saw them.
No honorifics? Are you crazy?
Why did you lie?
Let go.
You said you saw my brother?
Stop lying.
Look at this kid here.
He has 5,000 won hidden in here.
You want to die? How cute.
Hey, do you want to die, nerd?
You were on a neighborhood street
by the school.
So how would you have seen
my brother going by on a bus!
Why? Why did you lie!
Let go of this.
You punk.
Go tell them again.
Go tell the police again.
Tell them you saw wrong.
Tell them you lied!
Let go of me, you punk!
Hey idiot, you want me to tell the cops?
It was the cops who told me
to say that in the first place.
What... do you mean?
Just leave.
What took you so long?
I'm in a bad mood. Don't talk to me.
- Let's go drink.
- Finish what you were saying.
What? Seriously!
Finish what you were saying.
What is it? You can't say it?
Should I say it for you?
My brother didn't do it, right?
Who is this guy?
My brother didn't do it, right?
He took the fall without knowing a thing.
Answer me!
Who the hell are you, punk!
This has nothing to do with you,
so get lost!
Answer me. I said, answer me!
You punk!
Is that guy insane or what?
Hey.
You want to die?
Who is it?
Who did that to my brother?
What are you going to do if you know?
I won't let them get away with it.
Those punks who did that to him...
I won't let them get away with it.
Hey, do you know why your brother took
the fall for something he didn't do?
He had no money,
no backing, and no power.
So just shut your mouth,
lay low, and live your life.
I'm only giving you this warning
because you're Sun Woo's brother.
So clearly...
he said those words to me.
That it was the detectives who told
him to give that statement.
That case was fixed from the beginning.
My brother was not the guilty one.
The special task force back then...
My seniors went down to join.
Superintendent Kim Bum Joo
was Chief back then.
Senior Lee Jae Han.
And Team 1.
Do you think I can meet
with those detectives?
No, you can't.
Why not?
- It's regarding my brother.
- That's why.
And you're suspected of Section Chief
Ahn Chi Soo's murder right now.
Don't do anything to bring
more suspicion onto yourself.
- Detective Cha...
- Also...
This case is important to me too.
I'll contact you right away
if something comes up.
Please stay put until they finish
investigating and catch the murderer.
Those are my orders as your team leader.
When are they coming?
I'm sure they'll be coming soon.
Baek Min Ho, junior at Injoo High School
and in Class 3, right?
Yes.
You're an executive
student council member?
Yes.
Lee Dong Jin told us everything.
Were you a part of the incident
involving Kang Hae Seung?
Answer me. Were you?
I didn't do it because I wanted to.
Park Sun Woo told me to do it.
Park Sun Woo had a dual personality.
Everyone is fooled by him thinking
that he is a good student.
Park Sun Woo started everything
with this incident too.
Sun Woo wanted to start drinking.
I don't really remember anything.
I must have been crazy.
Am I going to jail?
Hae Seung was probably mad because
things weren't going her way.
She had completely lost it
at that point.
So... you're acknowledging
that you've committed a crime?
What are you saying?
Sun Woo made me do everything.
Do you think you can get out of it just
because someone told you to do it?
Or...
Did someone coach you say all this?
I'm merely telling you the truth.
All right, fine.
All seven executive members have stated
that it was Sun Woo that started it.
But...
Why is it that your names were not listed
in the victim's first
and second statement?
How am I supposed to know?
"Seven people".
They have all pointed at Park Sun Woo.
Almost as if they'd made
an agreement to do so.
He's here.
Park Sun Woo.
Did you instigate the incident
with Kang Hae Seung?
No, it was not me.
The statements from all student council
executive members are a match.
They say you're the principal offender.
Look.
Even Dong Jin is accusing you.
It really wasn't me!
There are many statements saying it's you
and no evidence to refute it.
I saw you outside
Hae Seung's hospital room.
I thought you would reveal the truth.
That's why I left that picture for you.
I wanted to show you who they were.
That was you?
It isn't me.
If I had done such a thing,
why would I leave that picture there?
Then what is all this?
The first "one".
Who is he?
I don't know.
All I know is that they are all lying.
I just need a moment.
What is it now?
He made his witness statement.
I need to confirm something
with Dong Jin.
He said everything in his statement.
I just need one moment.
Dong Jin, Dong Jin!
What's wrong with you?
If you continue to bother my son,
I won't let it go.
Do you understand?
Willow tree.
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
Soju bottles and cigarette butts.
These are too clean compared
to the other garbage here.
It's been a while.
They've been using
that building a long time now.
They're always drinking and smoking.
If the witnesses were
all just a setup...
The crime scene was not here.
It could be that house where
the willow tree was buried.
Hello there.
I'm with the police.
Have you been selling here long?
Yes, I move around
but I come here often.
- It's been about three and a half years.
- Oh.
Then you must know that place well.
It was a meat restaurant
a couple years ago.
Yes, that's right.
After "Willow Tree House" closed,
I hear high school kids hang out there.
Have you seen them?
I don't know.
I don't think I've seen them.
But I think you've got it
wrong, Detective.
That restaurant wasn't called
"Willow Tree House".
It was "Willow Tree Cave".
"Willow Tree Cave"?
Yes, because of that
willow tree in the yard.
Why did you lie?
Who are you calling a liar?
There was never a restaurant
called "Willow Tree House".
Why did you lie about the name?
Is it because of your son?
I noticed he works at Injoo Cement.
Did someone threaten you to say it
or promise you some money?
Because of the greed of adults,
an innocent child is being framed!
Is this the nice hometown
that you were talking about?
We're not the only greedy ones.
You are all the same too.
The police knew it all too.
The detective from Seoul even
told us what we should say.
Is that true?
Get over here!
- What is it?
- Hey.
Did you know that the culprit, witnesses,
and cops for this case...
They were all on one team
from the start.
What do you mean by that?
You know the crime scene you found,
"Willow Tree House"?
You knew that wasn't
the real place, right?
The Kim Jung Jae I know wouldn't
miss something like that.
- Hey...
- Was it Kim Bum Joo?
Did he give you money?
Hey, it's just some money.
You have your pride as a detective.
It's not that, right?
You're not that cheap!
I am cheap.
Are you crazy?
You took money, you punk?
We've been detectives for years
and what are we left with?
My wife is raising two kids alone.
I couldn't do anything for her
and let her suffer.
And my wife cried to me.
She was a guarantor for
her only brother's loan
and we were about to lose our home.
We lost the deposit on our home,
while I was being a detective.
I was about to be on
the streets with my kids.
So yeah, I can be bought.
I took the money from Kim Bum Joo,
who you hate so much.
And I fixed this case. So what?
Because I closed my eyes to it,
my family is happy.
Even if I didn't take that money,
someone else would have.
So what if I took it?
You should die today.
Are you really going do this? Are you!
Jae Han... sorry.
Can't you just... this once?
Even if we try with this case,
it's not going to happen.
We can't do it with this case.
Just this once.
Can't you look away this once?
You punk...
You must have a lot
of money lying around.
You seemed to have dispersed
a lot of it here and there.
Did you come here because
you smelled money?
Injoo Cement? Is that it?
I heard Injoo runs
because of that company.
Isn't this case related to that company?
I was looking for you.
I thought you'd want to see her.
What?
What's going on?
- What?
- Hae Seung.
Everyone has made their statements.
Now, we just need yours.
You just need to tell us exactly
what happened to you, okay?
All right.
Is Park Sun Woo the one who
instigated this whole incident.
Everything has already
said it was Sun Woo.
Is it him?
The thing is...
Hae Seung!
Think carefully before you answer.
A person's life depends on it, okay?
Please leave. What are you doing?
He's not the real culprit.
What is it that you're afraid of? What?
- That's right.
- Move.
Huh?
He...
did it.
Hae Seung... Hae Seung.
Park Sun Woo...
He did it.
Sun Woo did it.
Park Sun Woo did.
Sun Woo did it.
All the offenders are minors
and first-time offenders.
The punishment will be light,
likely volunteer hours.
Of course, Park Sun Woo will have
to pay as the principal offender.
Good work. Let's organize and go.
Jung Jae, this case, and Hae Seung...
Was it all about money?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm sure they need money.
That girl is already falling apart.
The article has already printed on
the front page with her real name.
The only way to start a new life...
Well, she needs some of that money
you hate so much.
That first one.
Who is he that you're doing this?
Who is he that you're framing
an innocent child?
What is so great about him that
the city of Injoo is doing this?
Don't you get it yet?
That first one?
It's Park Sun Woo.
- Bye.
- Bye now.
- Goodbye.
- Yes.
Hey, 0.5.
It's been a long time, Senior.
I saw you on TV.
So, you're the team leader
for the Cold Case Squad?
Wow.
Who thought I would see the day.
You became a team leader.
You've been well, haven't you?
Well, it's just life, you know.
What brings you here?
What else would bring me here?
I'm with the Cold Case Squad.
It's about a cold case.
A cold case?
Which case?
The Injoo case in 1999.
You remember that, don't you?
I'm not sure. It's been so long.
You resigned as soon as
you came back from there.
You left without even a farewell party,
so I was a little sad.
Did I?
Oh, look at how forgetful I am.
I have somewhere I need to be.
I should get going.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo is dead.
He was murdered by someone.
It's because of the Injoo case.
He died while trying to find out
the truth about the Injoo case.
What exactly happened back then?
Nothing happened.
It's just like what the files say.
Is that enough?
That's not all.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
said something before he died.
He...
killed Senior Lee Jae Han himself.
What... what do you mean?
So...
tell me.
What happened back then?
I said I don't know. I don't know.
Senior Lee Jae Han...
He was your best friend.
Something...
Just one thing...
Tell me something.
Jae Han...
did not give up on that case.
I'm sorry.
That's all that I can tell you.
Kim Sung Bum was in Injoo where
the Section Chief got murdered.
Is that true?
Kim Sung Bum was there
at the scene of the murder?
I saw Kim Sung Bum's car when
I went to meet the Section Chief.
Let's get going for now.
The Section Chief was stabbed in
a vital organ and died quickly.
It's likely that the culprit
is familiar with killing.
Someone like Kim Sung Bum.
If Kim Sung Bum killed him,
he's probably not acting alone.
It's most likely that someone
ordered him to do it.
Kim Sung Bum got to where
he is now without much help.
People like this don't
trust others very much.
He probably has
something saved just in case.
For example, a weapon or evidence
of the person ordering the job.
It won't be in his house or office.
He breaks laws as often as he eats.
It won't be in a place where
they'd check first with a warrant.
This building is under
Kim Sung Bum's mother's name.
He's had it since 2000,
so it's been a long time.
2000?
What are you doing?
Can a cop do this?
Of course, you can't.
Only cops from long ago like me do it.
You can get a warrant
and come in tomorrow.
He would prefer to use a safe.
I don't think he would
have hid it that well.
There are no signs that
anyone entered recently.
Even if he didn't come recently,
there could be something from before.
I'll look over here. You look there.
There's nothing here. What about there?
Is this the only building
that Kim Sung Bum owns?
Let's try downstairs.
This isn't it.
I think we should look through
the night club and his house again.
After I heard the radio, I checked.
It was definitely there.
Under those stairs.
What is it?
There's nothing in this house.
Why did he keep it for
over ten years and not sell it?
What do you mean?
Can you find out where
Ahn Chi Soo has been recently?
Look at this here.
Are you going to keep
asking me to do this?
Yes. So, did you find out?
Of course, I did.
Okay.
Did he find out?
I just need to know if
he passed the Yeonhui tollgate.
Thanks, Senior.
He drove through
the Yeonhui tollgate two days ago.
The Section Chief came by here.
How did you know?
What are you looking for?
What are you doing?
Shine that flashlight here.
No.
We have to tell
the Seoul Metro detectives.
We can't ever tell them.
That's my son.
Hello, Father.
Where did you find a woman like that?
I'll help you.
It's that person.
There's nothing you can do.
What do I do in the meantime?
What about me?
Jae Han, take this opportunity
while you can.
That's an item that's connected
to Jae Han's first love.
Stop crying. You won't die.
How do you know if I'll die or not?
Nothing changes just because
you tried to protect that.
The world will be the same.
I'm telling you not to act
like a crazy person.
I will not give up.
I want you to be happy, Detective.
I want you to be happy too, Lieutenant.
No matter what happens.
I'll go to the end.
[EPISODE 12]
Section Chief... what is this?
Section Chief, what happened?
Hold on. I'll call 911.
That... radio.
What?
I heard... Lee Jae Han's voice.
Lieutenant Park Hae Young?
It's me, Lee Jae Han.
Lieutenant, are you listening?
Lieutenant?
There's no way...
There's no way Lee Jae Han
could be alive.
After I heard the radio, I checked.
It was definitely there.
Under those stairs.
What are you saying right now?
I... I...
I killed Lee Jae Han.
What are you...
I killed Detective Lee Jae Han
with my own two hands.
I regret that more than anything.
Section Chief.
If he happens to be alive...
If Detective Lee Jae Han is alive...
tell him that I had no other choice.
I had no choice but to do it.
But...
But why would you, Section Chief?
It all started in Injoo.
Section Chief?
Section Chief, please wake up.
Section Chief!
I'm next to Injoo Hospital.
Someone has been hurt.
Please hurry. It's urgent!
Section Chief, Section Chief!
Why were you there? Just tell us.
Explain yourself!
- What's going on?
- What happened to the Section Chief?
We're still trying to figure that out.
We came after receiving the 911 call.
He was there with the victim.
He's the only witness.
What's with you?
What did you do to the Section Chief!
- What are you doing to one of us?
- How is one of us?
Stop it already!
We don't know anything about
what happened here yet.
Whose blood is that on his hands?
That's the Section Chief's blood!
What's going on?
Where's Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
Doesn't anyone hear me?
What's happened to
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
When we were back on the scene...
he passed away.
Why did you meet
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo in Injoo?
Section Chief Ahn called me.
Regarding a case in 1999.
The gang rape case in Injoo.
He said he had something
to tell me about it.
What?
He said that the case had been fixed.
So the case had been fixed?
In what way?
He hadn't told me that yet.
When I arrived,
he had already been attacked.
Did you see any other
suspicious people on scene?
He was there alone.
What about a weapon?
I did not see one.
What about a witness?
Or the conditions around you?
It was too dark around me.
You're a police officer of this country!
And your direct superior has died,
yet you didn't hear or see anything?
How do you feel, Seoul Metropolitans?
This is your leader.
A leader of all the ace detectives was
murdered in cold-blood on the street.
I'm sure none of you will sleep well
until the killer is caught.
Everyone will be on this case.
Look into Ahn Chi Soo's whereabouts
his cards and records,
and the CCTV around the crime scene.
Look into every investigative file
that you can...
and bring the killer to me.
However...
the Cold Case Squad
is excluded from this case.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
was our boss too.
There's a suspect on your team.
I can't allow you
to take part in the case.
It wasn't me.
- Why would I...
- That's for us to decide!
Start investigating.
Please comply with the investigation,
Lieutenant Park Hae Young.
When you last spoke to him, you agreed
to meet at Injoo Hospital at 11:00 p.m.?
Yes.
Did you tell anyone else?
No.
Neither did the Section Chief.
I looked through his phone records.
His last call was to you.
So the only people
who knew about that meeting
was you and the Section Chief.
Just the two of you.
It was not me.
Why did you fight with
the Section Chief back then?
Back then in the office...
Soju is best with pork belly.
We'll have some after we're done.
If you come near my desk again,
I won't let it go so easily.
What did you talk about
with him that day?
Why did you fight with him?
[AHN CHI SOO]
Oh, what's this?
He had a kid.
He had a daughter?
Looks like she was sick.
Bone marrow cancer?
Yes, both the patient and guardian
had a hard time.
She fought it for a long time.
What about the patient?
He had a daughter.
She suffered from bone marrow cancer
and died three days ago.
The Section Chief never spoke about
his personal life, so no one knew.
I feel ashamed.
What else besides that?
We're looking into CCTVs
around the crime scene area.
There were none set up in the area
that he was killed.
Maybe that's why that place was chosen.
The killer could have planned
to kill him in advance.
What about phone and card records?
We looked into his phone records
on the day that he died.
We found out something strange.
How did you know
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo?
I'm the owner of a nightclub.
How would I know a police section chief?
You want to give me a straight answer?
He was in charge of a case
involving some of my boys.
Ever since then, I've been an informant
when I come by something useful.
You talked to him
on this day at 3:00 p.m.
What did you talk about?
Gosh, we just chatted about life!
Answer me properly.
If I do answer you,
you're not even going to believe me.
Seriously!
Cops are fighting among themselves.
If I get in the middle of it,
people like me will suffer.
What are you talking about?
A cop talked to me a few weeks ago.
Which cop?
A cop named Park Hae Young.
He came to me and asked me a lot
of questions about Ahn Chi Soo.
Asked you about what?
He asked me if he took bribes
and if he fixed some cases.
He asked me a lot of
questions like that.
So I said I don't know.
I said that I don't know.
But he stuck to me like gum
and continued to harass me.
That's why I called the Section Chief.
I told him to be mindful
of his subordinate.
Park Hae Young looked into
Ahn Chi Soo's background?
- Do you know the reason why?
- No.
No, Park Hae Young is using his right
to remain silent on that matter.
Why did you look into
Ahn Chi Soo's background?
Kim Sung Bum told us everything.
Why were you looking into him?
What in the world are you hiding?
Search Park Hae Young thoroughly.
Look into his past and find out
everything about him.
Find out exactly why he was looking
into Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo.
You find out anything,
you report it to me right away.
I heard that Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
argued with Park Hae Young in the office.
Is that true?
Where did you hear that?
I heard he was hearing
a radio at that time.
Is that right?
Didn't you hear what
the Superintendent said?
Your team is excluded
from this investigation.
Don't try to find out anything more.
Did you happen to find a radio in
the Section Chief's personal items?
With a yellow smile face sticker on it?
I'll say it one more time.
Don't concern yourself with this case.
Don't turn off your cell phone
and don't go anywhere too far.
Act as you always do.
You know that, right?
It doesn't look good.
The Section Chief...
He was divorced and had been
raising a daughter on his own.
He never talked about his personal life,
so no one knew.
That daughter died a few days ago.
She had bone marrow cancer.
All the detectives are about to explode.
And you were with him when he died
but you won't even give
a proper statement.
You could end up taking the fall
if this goes wrong.
I didn't do it.
I know. I trust you.
I don't think you killed him.
That's why I'm asking you this.
Why were you looking into him?
I have to know something
in order to help you.
Detective Lee Jae Han's bribery case...
He was set up.
How do you know that?
You even looked into
Detective Lee Jae Han?
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo and
Kim Sung Bum planned it together.
How do you know that?
Why... why do you...
That's not what's important.
The important thing is that
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
is related to the bribery case.
And there is someone
powerful behind him.
You said that you trust me, right?
I feel that way too.
You're all I have, Detective Cha.
You're the only one I can trust
in the police organization.
You're the only one, Detective Cha.
Do you have evidence?
Do you have proof that the Section Chief
set up Detective Lee Jae Han for bribery?
Before he died, it was just a feeling.
But I'm positive now.
What do you mean by that?
He probably had to take part in
Detective Lee Jae Han's bribery setup.
I asked you what you mean by that?
The Section Chief told me this
before he died.
That he...
killed Detective Lee Jae Han.
Don't lie.
But... the Section Chief...
Why would the Section Chief?
Why would he?
He told me.
That he did it with his own hands.
And that he killed him.
But... but why?
Why? Why would he?
Why would he do that?
It's Injoo.
He said it all started in Injoo.
The case in Injoo.
Detective Lee Jae Han
and the Section Chief...
They all died because of that case.
People who were close to Hae Seung?
Did she have anyone
she was close to at school?
No, she didn't come to school much.
When she did,
she was by herself a lot.
She was always quiet, so teachers
had trouble talking to her too.
From what I hear, she was
dating a boy from "Ingan".
What?
That's ridiculous.
Why would they date a girl like
Kang Hae Seung?
"Ingan" is short for Injoo High School
Student Council Executives, right?
Yes, but those kids have nothing
to do with this incident.
May I see their student files?
What?
Lee Jae Han?
Well, it seems he has requested the files
of the Student Council Executives.
I think he's figured it out.
Has he found out who wrote
that initial post?
Well, the thing is...
It's definitely one of the kids
on the the executive board.
Only one of them could know
about this in so much detail.
Is it so hard to find one student
out of seven kids?
They all say they didn't do it.
What am I supposed to do?
Just because they say that,
you believe them?
You should have done
whatever needed to find him.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry?
What a load of crap.
If Lee Jae Han finds that kid first,
both you and I are finished.
All seven students have been cut off
from contact like you've instructed.
They won't be possible to contact.
Get them all out of Injoo.
What? Where?
It's vacation anyway.
Just send them to a relative
or on a family trip!
Get them out of Injoo.
Lee Jung Hyuk, Seo Kyung Il,
Joo Hyun Tak.
Baek Min Ho, Kim Soo Kwang, Lee Dong Jin.
Shim Jin Wook.
Yes, so send him to a relative.
There's no time, so send him quickly.
Okay.
They did something a person
should never do to a friend.
But he could not bear the guilt.
And used an online forum
to tell people what they had done.
He is somewhat introverted and sensitive.
He is a kid who can, at least, tell
the difference between right and wrong.
Come in.
Yes.
Go to this house.
He's not getting the phone.
- Okay.
- All right.
Hello there.
I'm with the police.
Have you seen any of these students here?
Hold on.
- Nurse Lee?
- Yes.
Hello, sir. Can I ask you something?
Where is number 275?
It's around here, right?
Hurry up. Go.
What are you doing? Get in.
Why didn't you pick up if you were home?
Here.
Get in!
What you are waiting for, kid? Get in!
Turn your phone off for now.
Don't pick up any calls
unless it's your parents, okay?
Of course, Injoo detectives
are quite something.
You figured it out too, right?
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
This is the kid who wrote it.
Lee Dong Jin, it's you right?
Let's go to the station.
That's why you came, right?
Yes.
Call his parents now.
Sit down.
Lift your head. Look at me.
Lee Dong Jin.
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
"It started with one..."
"and then it was seven people."
"It was ten demons in the end."
I don't know anything.
"Evil is not far away.
It is in our midst."
"She was a friend and classmate,
but they stomped on her like animals."
"They are still among us."
"They laugh and talk
as if nothing has happened."
I don't know anything.
I looked at your school file.
No, I looked at all seven files.
The other six students...
Like you said, they live like
nothing's happened.
They take part in club activities.
They're preparing to run
for class president next year.
But not you.
Since mid-November,
you've been absent and leaving early.
It says it's due to illness.
I don't think you're sick.
Dong Jin, Injoo is a small town.
I can check the hospitals to see
if you've been admitted or not.
You never have.
However, you have gone to
hospitals for other reasons.
Hae Seung.
You went to see Hae Seung a few times,
but left without seeing her.
The nurse saw your picture
and confirmed it.
Dong Jin.
You didn't want to become a demon, right?
Even if you did it because of friends,
it's really something you shouldn't do.
But...
You know that you did something wrong.
So, talk to me.
That "one" that it started with.
Did he tell you to do it?
Tell me from the beginning.
What was your relationship
with Hae Seung?
None.
We had no relationship.
Before that day...
I had never spoken to her before.
That day?
The two of them came to me first.
What brings you by at this hour?
Kang Hae Seung?
What's with this combo?
How did a good kid like you become
friendly with a runaway like her?
Your house is empty
during the day, right?
Can I borrow it once a week
for a while?
Why?
Hae Seung had nowhere to study.
You have your house.
My house is pretty far.
You know how it is.
But what's with you two?
Do you like her or something?
Oh... no, nothing like that.
It's just a tutor-student relationship.
Should we start with the basics?
When there are two unknown quantities
you know this method
has to be used right?
So... you have to do this here.
Okay, so what happened next?
Lee Dong Jin! Where's my Dong Jin?
What is this?
- Get up.
- Hey, what are you doing?
What do you think you're doing?
Don't you see that he's a minor?
Who gave you permission
to bring him here?
He's a witness to an important case.
Let go of him.
I'm taking my son with me.
Who are you to say anything?
Come on. Let's go!
Mister.
Wait, hey!
Hey, come on!
Just let them go.
We can't.
They'll use whatever excuse they can
to start over with a fake statement.
You're dealing with a minor.
This could become a big problem
if you don't get a proper summons.
The seven executive board members
of Injoo High School.
We can question them and find out.
Who that first "one" is.
Get an official witness summons
and get statements from them.
What are you planning to do?
Are you really going
to reveal everything?
We'll have to get that first "one".
It all started because of him, right?
Are you crazy?
We'll need someone to weather
the storm in his place.
Someone without money or power...
Someone we can sacrifice who would
have no one to protect him.
Where would we find that student?
We just heard it in the statement.
About how it started.
This is all that I've collected.
It was before the CIMS program came out,
so I had to do it manually.
There wasn't anything useful left in
the official files at Headquarters.
I haven't even been able to figure out
what the task force was investigating.
And as you know...
I'm not that close to the detectives
in Violent Crimes.
I tried to get files here and there
from the prosecution side of it.
It was worse than the police files.
[1999 INJOO GANG RAPE CASE FILES]
Before I look at this...
I need to hear your story first.
Back in Injoo, what happened to you?
And to your brother?
What exactly happened?
That's correct.
This one's right too.
This is right.
Oh! They're almost all correct.
This one too.
This is correct.
It's wrong?
- They are all correct.
- Yeah!
Sun Woo, you said you'd grant me
a wish if I got one hundred.
So what's your wish?
Are you really going to grant it?
Yeah, what is it?
I want to go out for dinner
with you, Mom, and Dad.
What? What kind of wish is that?
Seriously, that omelet rice
I had before was so yummy.
Okay, I'll talk to Mom and Dad about it.
Oh, that must be Mom.
Who... who are you?
Are you Park Sun Woo?
Sun Woo, where are you going?
Hae Young, lock the doors and go inside.
Sun Woo, don't leave. I'm scared.
Get inside quickly and lock the doors.
I'll be back soon.
Sun Woo!
Go on back inside. It's cold.
Don't worry about me!
Is that you, Sun Woo?
Excuse me, can you help me
find my brother?
Do you know what time it is?
What are you doing out right now?
- Go home.
- Help me find my brother!
The police took him.
Come back with your mom.
Mister, please!
Come back tomorrow.
- Mister, please!
- Come tomorrow.
Please, sir!
Go on now.
Come back tomorrow!
Sun Woo...
Sun Woo...
Please, Sun Woo's dad.
Why am I his dad?
I don't have a son like him.
Sun Woo wouldn't do something like that.
Then are you saying the cops
dragged away an innocent kid?
Dad, stop. Stop.
Get dressed now, Hae Young!
Dad!
How can you not trust your own son?
I told you, he's not my son!
Pack your clothes, Park Hae Young.
Please, Dad.
After that happened to my brother,
my parents got divorced.
Wait.
I went to Seoul with my dad.
Mom.
I was too young back then.
I didn't know what my brother
had done wrong.
I was just scared.
Mom?
Sun Woo!
I had heard that my brother got out
of the Youth Detention Center.
Even when I went looking for Sun Woo...
Mom!
Sun Woo!
Even when I saw that
he had committed suicide...
I had no idea about why he had done it.
Sun Woo!
I found out why later.
Sun Woo, open your eyes.
Sun Woo!
Park Hae Young?
Is that you?
So it is you.
Do you live around here?
Well...
I still live in Injoo.
After you transferred suddenly,
there was a weird rumor.
You know those gangsters that
went to your brother's school?
One of them gave
a witness statement to the police.
He said your brother skipped
his academy classes...
And was taking the bus
with Kang Hae Seung.
We know your brother well.
He would never skip academy classes.
Everyone said it was strange.
Who?
Which one of those guys
gave that statement?
You know the one with a burn mark
on one of his hands.
I said I can't. What's with you?
Second place? No, it's third.
Why did you do it?
Why did you do that to my brother?
I have to go. Bye.
Are you Park Sun Woo's little brother?
I heard you said you saw my brother
on the bus with Kang Hae Seung.
Did you really see them?
What the hell are you saying?
I asked if you really saw them.
No honorifics? Are you crazy?
Why did you lie?
Let go.
You said you saw my brother?
Stop lying.
Look at this kid here.
He has 5,000 won hidden in here.
You want to die? How cute.
Hey, do you want to die, nerd?
You were on a neighborhood street
by the school.
So how would you have seen
my brother going by on a bus!
Why? Why did you lie!
Let go of this.
You punk.
Go tell them again.
Go tell the police again.
Tell them you saw wrong.
Tell them you lied!
Let go of me, you punk!
Hey idiot, you want me to tell the cops?
It was the cops who told me
to say that in the first place.
What... do you mean?
Just leave.
What took you so long?
I'm in a bad mood. Don't talk to me.
- Let's go drink.
- Finish what you were saying.
What? Seriously!
Finish what you were saying.
What is it? You can't say it?
Should I say it for you?
My brother didn't do it, right?
Who is this guy?
My brother didn't do it, right?
He took the fall without knowing a thing.
Answer me!
Who the hell are you, punk!
This has nothing to do with you,
so get lost!
Answer me. I said, answer me!
You punk!
Is that guy insane or what?
Hey.
You want to die?
Who is it?
Who did that to my brother?
What are you going to do if you know?
I won't let them get away with it.
Those punks who did that to him...
I won't let them get away with it.
Hey, do you know why your brother took
the fall for something he didn't do?
He had no money,
no backing, and no power.
So just shut your mouth,
lay low, and live your life.
I'm only giving you this warning
because you're Sun Woo's brother.
So clearly...
he said those words to me.
That it was the detectives who told
him to give that statement.
That case was fixed from the beginning.
My brother was not the guilty one.
The special task force back then...
My seniors went down to join.
Superintendent Kim Bum Joo
was Chief back then.
Senior Lee Jae Han.
And Team 1.
Do you think I can meet
with those detectives?
No, you can't.
Why not?
- It's regarding my brother.
- That's why.
And you're suspected of Section Chief
Ahn Chi Soo's murder right now.
Don't do anything to bring
more suspicion onto yourself.
- Detective Cha...
- Also...
This case is important to me too.
I'll contact you right away
if something comes up.
Please stay put until they finish
investigating and catch the murderer.
Those are my orders as your team leader.
When are they coming?
I'm sure they'll be coming soon.
Baek Min Ho, junior at Injoo High School
and in Class 3, right?
Yes.
You're an executive
student council member?
Yes.
Lee Dong Jin told us everything.
Were you a part of the incident
involving Kang Hae Seung?
Answer me. Were you?
I didn't do it because I wanted to.
Park Sun Woo told me to do it.
Park Sun Woo had a dual personality.
Everyone is fooled by him thinking
that he is a good student.
Park Sun Woo started everything
with this incident too.
Sun Woo wanted to start drinking.
I don't really remember anything.
I must have been crazy.
Am I going to jail?
Hae Seung was probably mad because
things weren't going her way.
She had completely lost it
at that point.
So... you're acknowledging
that you've committed a crime?
What are you saying?
Sun Woo made me do everything.
Do you think you can get out of it just
because someone told you to do it?
Or...
Did someone coach you say all this?
I'm merely telling you the truth.
All right, fine.
All seven executive members have stated
that it was Sun Woo that started it.
But...
Why is it that your names were not listed
in the victim's first
and second statement?
How am I supposed to know?
"Seven people".
They have all pointed at Park Sun Woo.
Almost as if they'd made
an agreement to do so.
He's here.
Park Sun Woo.
Did you instigate the incident
with Kang Hae Seung?
No, it was not me.
The statements from all student council
executive members are a match.
They say you're the principal offender.
Look.
Even Dong Jin is accusing you.
It really wasn't me!
There are many statements saying it's you
and no evidence to refute it.
I saw you outside
Hae Seung's hospital room.
I thought you would reveal the truth.
That's why I left that picture for you.
I wanted to show you who they were.
That was you?
It isn't me.
If I had done such a thing,
why would I leave that picture there?
Then what is all this?
The first "one".
Who is he?
I don't know.
All I know is that they are all lying.
I just need a moment.
What is it now?
He made his witness statement.
I need to confirm something
with Dong Jin.
He said everything in his statement.
I just need one moment.
Dong Jin, Dong Jin!
What's wrong with you?
If you continue to bother my son,
I won't let it go.
Do you understand?
Willow tree.
"Everything started in
the willow tree house."
Soju bottles and cigarette butts.
These are too clean compared
to the other garbage here.
It's been a while.
They've been using
that building a long time now.
They're always drinking and smoking.
If the witnesses were
all just a setup...
The crime scene was not here.
It could be that house where
the willow tree was buried.
Hello there.
I'm with the police.
Have you been selling here long?
Yes, I move around
but I come here often.
- It's been about three and a half years.
- Oh.
Then you must know that place well.
It was a meat restaurant
a couple years ago.
Yes, that's right.
After "Willow Tree House" closed,
I hear high school kids hang out there.
Have you seen them?
I don't know.
I don't think I've seen them.
But I think you've got it
wrong, Detective.
That restaurant wasn't called
"Willow Tree House".
It was "Willow Tree Cave".
"Willow Tree Cave"?
Yes, because of that
willow tree in the yard.
Why did you lie?
Who are you calling a liar?
There was never a restaurant
called "Willow Tree House".
Why did you lie about the name?
Is it because of your son?
I noticed he works at Injoo Cement.
Did someone threaten you to say it
or promise you some money?
Because of the greed of adults,
an innocent child is being framed!
Is this the nice hometown
that you were talking about?
We're not the only greedy ones.
You are all the same too.
The police knew it all too.
The detective from Seoul even
told us what we should say.
Is that true?
Get over here!
- What is it?
- Hey.
Did you know that the culprit, witnesses,
and cops for this case...
They were all on one team
from the start.
What do you mean by that?
You know the crime scene you found,
"Willow Tree House"?
You knew that wasn't
the real place, right?
The Kim Jung Jae I know wouldn't
miss something like that.
- Hey...
- Was it Kim Bum Joo?
Did he give you money?
Hey, it's just some money.
You have your pride as a detective.
It's not that, right?
You're not that cheap!
I am cheap.
Are you crazy?
You took money, you punk?
We've been detectives for years
and what are we left with?
My wife is raising two kids alone.
I couldn't do anything for her
and let her suffer.
And my wife cried to me.
She was a guarantor for
her only brother's loan
and we were about to lose our home.
We lost the deposit on our home,
while I was being a detective.
I was about to be on
the streets with my kids.
So yeah, I can be bought.
I took the money from Kim Bum Joo,
who you hate so much.
And I fixed this case. So what?
Because I closed my eyes to it,
my family is happy.
Even if I didn't take that money,
someone else would have.
So what if I took it?
You should die today.
Are you really going do this? Are you!
Jae Han... sorry.
Can't you just... this once?
Even if we try with this case,
it's not going to happen.
We can't do it with this case.
Just this once.
Can't you look away this once?
You punk...
You must have a lot
of money lying around.
You seemed to have dispersed
a lot of it here and there.
Did you come here because
you smelled money?
Injoo Cement? Is that it?
I heard Injoo runs
because of that company.
Isn't this case related to that company?
I was looking for you.
I thought you'd want to see her.
What?
What's going on?
- What?
- Hae Seung.
Everyone has made their statements.
Now, we just need yours.
You just need to tell us exactly
what happened to you, okay?
All right.
Is Park Sun Woo the one who
instigated this whole incident.
Everything has already
said it was Sun Woo.
Is it him?
The thing is...
Hae Seung!
Think carefully before you answer.
A person's life depends on it, okay?
Please leave. What are you doing?
He's not the real culprit.
What is it that you're afraid of? What?
- That's right.
- Move.
Huh?
He...
did it.
Hae Seung... Hae Seung.
Park Sun Woo...
He did it.
Sun Woo did it.
Park Sun Woo did.
Sun Woo did it.
All the offenders are minors
and first-time offenders.
The punishment will be light,
likely volunteer hours.
Of course, Park Sun Woo will have
to pay as the principal offender.
Good work. Let's organize and go.
Jung Jae, this case, and Hae Seung...
Was it all about money?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm sure they need money.
That girl is already falling apart.
The article has already printed on
the front page with her real name.
The only way to start a new life...
Well, she needs some of that money
you hate so much.
That first one.
Who is he that you're doing this?
Who is he that you're framing
an innocent child?
What is so great about him that
the city of Injoo is doing this?
Don't you get it yet?
That first one?
It's Park Sun Woo.
- Bye.
- Bye now.
- Goodbye.
- Yes.
Hey, 0.5.
It's been a long time, Senior.
I saw you on TV.
So, you're the team leader
for the Cold Case Squad?
Wow.
Who thought I would see the day.
You became a team leader.
You've been well, haven't you?
Well, it's just life, you know.
What brings you here?
What else would bring me here?
I'm with the Cold Case Squad.
It's about a cold case.
A cold case?
Which case?
The Injoo case in 1999.
You remember that, don't you?
I'm not sure. It's been so long.
You resigned as soon as
you came back from there.
You left without even a farewell party,
so I was a little sad.
Did I?
Oh, look at how forgetful I am.
I have somewhere I need to be.
I should get going.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo is dead.
He was murdered by someone.
It's because of the Injoo case.
He died while trying to find out
the truth about the Injoo case.
What exactly happened back then?
Nothing happened.
It's just like what the files say.
Is that enough?
That's not all.
Section Chief Ahn Chi Soo
said something before he died.
He...
killed Senior Lee Jae Han himself.
What... what do you mean?
So...
tell me.
What happened back then?
I said I don't know. I don't know.
Senior Lee Jae Han...
He was your best friend.
Something...
Just one thing...
Tell me something.
Jae Han...
did not give up on that case.
I'm sorry.
That's all that I can tell you.
Kim Sung Bum was in Injoo where
the Section Chief got murdered.
Is that true?
Kim Sung Bum was there
at the scene of the murder?
I saw Kim Sung Bum's car when
I went to meet the Section Chief.
Let's get going for now.
The Section Chief was stabbed in
a vital organ and died quickly.
It's likely that the culprit
is familiar with killing.
Someone like Kim Sung Bum.
If Kim Sung Bum killed him,
he's probably not acting alone.
It's most likely that someone
ordered him to do it.
Kim Sung Bum got to where
he is now without much help.
People like this don't
trust others very much.
He probably has
something saved just in case.
For example, a weapon or evidence
of the person ordering the job.
It won't be in his house or office.
He breaks laws as often as he eats.
It won't be in a place where
they'd check first with a warrant.
This building is under
Kim Sung Bum's mother's name.
He's had it since 2000,
so it's been a long time.
2000?
What are you doing?
Can a cop do this?
Of course, you can't.
Only cops from long ago like me do it.
You can get a warrant
and come in tomorrow.
He would prefer to use a safe.
I don't think he would
have hid it that well.
There are no signs that
anyone entered recently.
Even if he didn't come recently,
there could be something from before.
I'll look over here. You look there.
There's nothing here. What about there?
Is this the only building
that Kim Sung Bum owns?
Let's try downstairs.
This isn't it.
I think we should look through
the night club and his house again.
After I heard the radio, I checked.
It was definitely there.
Under those stairs.
What is it?
There's nothing in this house.
Why did he keep it for
over ten years and not sell it?
What do you mean?
Can you find out where
Ahn Chi Soo has been recently?
Look at this here.
Are you going to keep
asking me to do this?
Yes. So, did you find out?
Of course, I did.
Okay.
Did he find out?
I just need to know if
he passed the Yeonhui tollgate.
Thanks, Senior.
He drove through
the Yeonhui tollgate two days ago.
The Section Chief came by here.
How did you know?
What are you looking for?
What are you doing?
Shine that flashlight here.
No.
We have to tell
the Seoul Metro detectives.
We can't ever tell them.
That's my son.
Hello, Father.
Where did you find a woman like that?
I'll help you.
It's that person.
There's nothing you can do.
What do I do in the meantime?
What about me?
Jae Han, take this opportunity
while you can.
That's an item that's connected
to Jae Han's first love.
Stop crying. You won't die.
How do you know if I'll die or not?
Nothing changes just because
you tried to protect that.
The world will be the same.
I'm telling you not to act
like a crazy person.
I will not give up.
I want you to be happy, Detective.
I want you to be happy too, Lieutenant.
No matter what happens.
I'll go to the end.
