Signal (2016–…): Season 1, Episode 16 - Episode #1.16 - full transcript
[August 3rd Sunil Psychiatric Hospital]
[Final Episode]
Senior Lee Jae Han.
They want you to prepare
for the briefing.
Should I go get all the documents?
No, I'll get them.
Tae Hyun, have you contacted all
of the suspect's acquaintances?
Go on home now.
This isn't a place for a kid like you.
Hey!
[Kim Yoon Jung Abduction Briefing]
- Lee Jae Han! Hurry up.
- Okay.
About that blackmail letter,
and the cafe the suspect was in...
Seo Hyung Joon's prints were there,
but they were only of his right thumb.
If he touched the table
and wrote a letter
his other fingerprints
should also be there.
It's strange that it's only the thumb.
So what?
We should look into Seo Hyung Joon's
unknown girlfriend some more.
So, look into her... by yourself.
You like doing things by yourself.
But... you should watch your back.
You should give it a rest.
We looked into all the women
in Seo Hyung Joon's life.
You should give it a rest too.
Sucking up to Kim Bum Joo,
that is.
I'll head off now.
No, I need you to do something else.
What?
Do you think I brought you down here
to catch a measly kidnapper?
Follow Lee Jae Han.
Lee Jae Han has found out
who the culprit of the Injoo case is.
Jang Tae Jin?
But he doesn't have evidence.
No, there was evidence.
Is that possibly why...
Park Sun Woo was
looking for Lee Jae Han?
Lee Jae Han is in possession of
the red scarf from the crime scene.
He's already sent the scarf
to the US and had it analyzed.
Then what should we do?
That's why I'm telling you to follow him.
Will following Lee Jae Han
provide a solution?
- Why don't we just...
- You little...
Why don't we just what?
You want to expose who's really guilty?
Is that it?
If we admit that we fabricated evidence,
we'll have to leave our jobs.
You think a country bumpkin like you will
be able to find a job at your age?
How will you pay
your daughter's hospital bills?
Use any and all methods.
Bring back the thing
that he should not have.
The radio.
You have to send a radio transmission.
You have to save Detective Lee Jae Han.
Don't talk. Stay still.
I'll call an ambulance.
11:23 p.m.
Always...
The transmissions always
come at 11:23 p.m.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
You sure picked a good day.
You transfer on a day like today.
Well...
Senior?
About what I said that time.
I think it should be resolved soon.
What?
Let me finish it,
and let's talk then.
[Notice of Business Closure]
This person is injured.
I'm in Joyong-dong, basement parking lot
of the Sanghwa Building. Hurry!
Park Hae Young, Park Hae Young.
Just a little longer.
Detective Lee...
You have to save him.
Lieutenant Park.
Lieutenant Park?
It's not working.
Or...
0.5... is that you?
I'm at Sunil Psychiatric Hospital,
the one that you told me about.
There is a corpse in the manhole
behind the building
with a noose around his neck.
It is Seo Hyung Joon,
the suspect of the Kim Yoon Jung case.
But... his thumb has been cut off.
Someone has killed Seo Hyung Joon
and made it look like a suicide.
Who are you?
What are you saying?
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital?
Where is that?
Lieutenant Park?
No...
Park Hae Young? Park Hae Young!
Park Hae Young, pull yourself together.
Park Hae Young!
Park Hae Young!
Hurry!
Wake up, Park Hae Young!
No, Park Hae Young. Park Hae Young!
Lee Jae Han... Lee Jae Han. Wake up now.
- Lee Jae Han!
- Ah, my head hurts.
Are you awake now?
The evidence for the Injoo case,
that red scarf...
Where is it?
Give it to me and stop this now.
No matter what you do,
nothing will change.
Is that what Kim Bum Joo said?
Did he tell you to bring him
the evidence for the Injoo case?
That red scarf isn't evidence
just for the Injoo case.
It's evidence of
Kim Bum Joo's murder of Sun Woo.
Do you know that?
What are you saying right now?
Park Sun Woo...
I'm certain he committed suicide.
Go now.
What is he saying?
Sun Woo didn't commit suicide?
I told you to butt out.
You want to try and catch me?
Someone like you dares
to go against me?
It was nice to see you try.
How did you manage to get that scarf?
The world doesn't always revolve
around making your life comfortable.
But in the end...
you came back to me dead.
I waited 15 years.
But you ended up dead, Senior!
The future can be changed.
I found evidence for Hae Seung's case.
It's a red scarf that Hae Seung
was wearing that day.
A scarf... a red scarf.
It's someone who should never
have that piece of evidence.
Someone made Sun Woo's death
look like a suicide.
Then took that evidence.
Kim Bum Joo must have taken it with him.
Being detail-oriented as Kim Bum Joo is
he wouldn't have thrown it out
just anywhere or burned it.
There would be a chance
that people would notice him.
He would have to get out of the area
as quickly as possible.
It would be hard to
take care of it in Injoo.
Bringing it back to Police Headquarters
would be too dangerous.
What else is there?
There's a variable that
I haven't thought of yet.
What is it?
[Sein Pharmacy]
A place where many people walk around.
A place where there's too much garbage
to be able find something
that had been tossed away.
A resting area on the way
from Injoo to Seoul.
Sein Rest Stop.
Sein Pharmacy.
Ma'am, I'd like to ask you a question.
When were those trash cans emptied?
Why do you ask?
Oh, I'm a cop. I'm looking
for important evidence.
When were they emptied?
A truck came a while ago
and took everything.
Where did it go? Where did the truck go?
What are you doing here?
Excuse me.
I asked you what you're doing.
Can't you hear me?
Just let me go for a second.
There's something I have to find.
What do you expect to find
in this pile of garbage?
And you can't mess it all up like this.
Get out of there now.
I have to find it.
- Just move for a second.
- No, get out.
What are you trying to find?
- I'm telling you to stop.
- I just need to look.
Wait.
Grandma.
Is that scarf yours?
Someone threw out a perfectly
good scarf, so I picked it up.
It was in the trash, right?
Are you a grown up? Are you human?
Goodbye.
Hello.
I need to send this package to New York.
The DNA matched.
It matches.
The scarf had the DNA of two women.
On the back side of the scarf,
semen was detected.
Besides Park Sun Woo, the blood
of an unknown male was found.
The blood of an unknown male...
The injury on his hand.
If I want an DNA test
on the unknown male
I will need a reference sample.
Gosh, he's not here right now.
You can't come in like this.
I wronged him last time and
I have to thank him for something.
- I'll just leave this.
- Then give it to me.
You sure are something.
Then let me just write a note
for him, all right?
I'll just leave this for him.
He's been so good to me.
I practically owe him my life.
I really do.
[You weren't here, so I left
this for you. Choi Sang Mook.]
The DNA results off
a cigarette butt that I sent
and the blood DNA
on the red scarf are a match.
Kim Bum Joo, you're dead now.
Prosecutor Oh Jae Sung.
It's me, Lee Jae Han.
I have the evidence.
Yes, it's the evidence against
Kim Bum Joo for murder.
Yes, that scarf.
Back then and even now, that has
always been the problem, right?
Gosh!
Who else knows about this?
I'll ask you one more time.
Does anyone else besides
Oh Jae Sung know about this?
Oh...
You want to know how I found out
when you only told Prosecutor Oh?
That's just how the world is.
Didn't you realize by now that
everyone is in the same boat?
This is your last chance.
Give up.
If you can promise me
that you'll give up
I can end this right now.
I don't want to kill
a fellow cop either.
No.
You have no intention on
letting me live anyway.
Do as you please.
Do it.
You mean, you don't want to give up.
- Get rid of him.
- Yes.
You can't.
Isn't it enough that
there's no evidence?
The data is there in the US.
We're done for if he asks them
for the results again.
Still, this isn't right.
- How could we do this to a fellow cop?
- A fellow cop?
Do you think he considers you
a fellow cop?
If you keep him alive,
both you and I are dead.
Okay.
Sir, you can't!
Are you crazy?
You're the one who dragged him here.
- Please don't.
- Move!
- Get him.
- No, you can't! No!
Get it together, you punk!
If he gets out of here
you'll rot in jail for years for
kidnapping and accepting bribes.
Then your daughter will die.
Make your choice.
Is it Lee Jae Han or your daughter?
Make your choice!
Let Ahn Chi Soo end him.
Okay.
It changed.
Park Hae Young, are you okay?
It changed.
We'll be at the hospital soon.
Hold on a little longer.
The transmission changed.
Long time ago, my first transmission...
I told him not to go to
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You are the one who told me
about this place.
But this time, I wasn't the one
who told him about it.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You can't go there.
Because the transmission changed
the past could have changed too.
When was the last time you saw
Detective Lee Jae Han?
August 3rd.
He left to go investigate
the Kim Yoon Jung case.
Is it the same as before?
Has anything changed?
No... nothing.
I think it should be resolved soon.
What?
Let me finish it,
and let's talk then.
He did say that.
I'll come back for sure.
My last memory of him is different.
I'll be back soon.
My memory has changed.
I'm certain...
he just said to wait until the weekend.
That it would be resolved soon.
He said to me that he would
come back for sure.
The past...
has already changed.
The past...
has already changed.
Everything will remain
a cold case if I die.
Both the Injoo case and Sun Woo's case.
And Cha Soo Hyun...
You told me to wait for you!
I waited so long for you.
I will go back.
We have an emergency patient.
11:23 p.m.
The time that Detective Lee died.
Rather than the fear of death...
you were more afraid of those cases
remaining unsolved, right?
Is that the desperation you felt
when you sent me the transmissions?
Detective...
Use that determination to live.
Not the transmissions, but use
your own determination and will.
Don't give up.
Jae Han.
Hey, what took you guys so long?
How were we supposed
to find your exact location?
Kim Bum Joo! Go get Kim Bum Joo.
Hold on one moment.
The ambulance will be here.
We better get going.
Your head. Watch your head.
Senior!
What happened here?
Are you crazy?
You told me to avoid
criminals with knives.
What is this?
What am I going to do?
I kept my promise.
I stopped by because you're sick.
I wanted to see you wake up.
I had to go because of the restaurant.
Make sure to eat the rice.
Mom.
As for the abduction of Kim Yoo Jung
from Jinyang Elementary School
the true culprit has been
found and arrested.
Yoon is a nurse at
a psychiatric hospital.
It was discovered that she kidnapped
Kim Yoon Jung due to credit card debt.
Yoon has murdered the missing Seo,
causing great shock to everyone.
Sun Woo did not do it.
What do you mean?
Sun Woo didn't do it?
That's right.
Sun Woo...
was not guilty of the crimes
in the Injoo rape case.
Also...
He was trying to find the true culprit
in the Injoo case.
And he was murdered for it.
Sun Woo wanted his family
to live together again.
Because of that...
he ended up being killed.
I apologize.
For Sun Woo's death.
And for being unable expose who
was truly guilty in the Injoo case...
I'm sorry.
Sun Woo!
Mister Policeman.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
Detective Lee Jae Han?
He survived and lived.
Welcome.
Do you need a watch fixed?
Detective Lee Jae Han...
Do you know my son?
Yes.
Where is the detective now?
I don't know how a young man
like you knows my son.
My son has been missing.
It's already been over 15 years.
What are you doing? Bring it now.
What are you doing? Go over now.
Yes, okay.
What can I help you with?
Oh, what happened over here?
What happened here?
Which precinct are you from?
Do you know me?
I'm Lieutenant Park Hae Young...
Who are you?
Not just anyone can barge in here.
[North Gate Station]
What in the world...
What are you doing?
Get him out of here.
Okay.
You can't be in here.
What a strange guy.
- Do you know him?
- No.
Hey, don't let just anyone walk in here.
Where is it?
I told you, I got it here.
I told you that I gave it to you.
If you gave it to me,
why don't I have it?
You're the one who isn't keeping
things in order, Senior.
Look at you, talking back
to me like that.
Who are you...
This isn't a place that people
should just walk into like this.
You're a team leader for Team 3
at North Gate Station.
Lieutenant Park Hae Young, right?
This is your desk, right?
Is Detective Cha Soo Hyun around?
Why are you looking for Detective Cha?
She's always saying she has no money.
Did she sign up for insurance again?
Or did she get a new car?
Ah.... well.
I'm Lieutenant Park Hae Young
from North Gate Station.
Lieutenant?
Why didn't you tell us
your rank to begin with?
Civil servants could get in trouble
if they don't tell people their rank.
I have something important
I need to discuss with her.
Has she gone somewhere far?
We don't know either.
She left suddenly
and I haven't seen her.
Let us know if you find her, okay?
She's not picking up her phone
and she's not at home.
We're so busy. Where the heck is she?
Anyway, send those results again.
There are only so many times.
I won't do it this time.
You always lose it. You can't do that.
I'm telling you that I didn't get it.
I give it to you and you lose it.
I give it to you and you lose it.
Are you a disposal or something?
I didn't get them from you at all.
Would I be lying to you about it?
Oh! Why are you here on your day off?
What is it?
What are you looking for?
That radio.
That old radio with no batteries.
Don't you remember it?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I brought it in that time.
You brought in a radio, Lieutenant?
You never did that.
Hello.
It doesn't suit me anymore.
Coffee?
- Two coffees, please.
- Okay.
Soo Hyun, wait!
Cha Soo Hyun!
Just wait, would you?
Oh, wait!
Gosh, wait.
It is your first date, after all.
You're going on it looking like this?
What?
I could get called out while I'm out.
Should I wear a skirt and heels then?
Still, this is not right!
Spray this on at least.
Guys love this stuff.
They will just die.
- Forget it.
- What do you mean, forget it?
I want my own room
by the end of the year, okay?
Good luck!
Go back inside.
If I get the room to myself by tonight,
that's even better.
Hello.
Hey.
Come outside.
Outside? Where?
Do you not like grilled meat?
Not at all.
Wow, that looks good.
Does something smell weird to you?
Is it this?
Are you a regular here, Senior?
No, not me, but someone I know well.
Did you come to see that little kid?
It's been a long time
since he's come here.
He's living with his mom and dad now.
Yes, I know.
Who is this little kid?
It's just someone.
It's not...
What?
It's not your...
It's not, right?
Just drink.
Are you still looking for Kim Bum Joo?
You've done more than enough.
You should let someone else
look for him.
Kim Bum Joo is not big fish.
What does that mean?
There's another person
who truly deserves punishment.
The person behind it all, the one
who made everything happened.
The true mistake has to be corrected
in order to change the past.
And you can change the future too.
You should eat.
I've never seen you with your hair down.
I've had it down a few times.
What are you staring at like that?
Oh my.
That small kid from back then
is already of age to drink soju?
Time goes by so fast.
Was that the last time?
Huh?
Back then...
that detective?
Yes.
He can once with that woman
and I never saw him again.
Ma'am!
- Hello.
- Do you have grilled meat?
Yes, we have that.
Detective... exactly what...
What happened?
What? Where are you?
I'm in Kyungjin-dong.
Contact the others and hurry up.
Senior!
Where exactly in Kyungjin-dong?
I told you, didn't I?
I wouldn't let you get away.
So what?
Do you think the world
will change if you catch me?
It's better to live as a dog
than to whine and live complaining
that it's a dog's world.
No, it's not you that I want.
I need to catch someone else
to change the world.
The uncle of the principal offender
of the Injoo case.
Congressman Jang Young Chul.
He knew exactly what
his nephew had done.
And he got a weak child killed
just to cover that up.
That son of a bitch!
It was him, wasn't it?
What about it?
Because he lived that way
he has the power that he has.
That's how the world works!
That's what the problem is.
It will be done again a few time more,
then ten or twenty times more.
Those same crimes will be
committed over and over again.
Him covering them up with power
and quieting people with money.
Him using crime to fabricate lies!
That's why I'm trying to stop it here.
I'm going catch him with my hands, okay?
You?
Not the police,
not the prosecution...
Even the President can't mess with him.
So what can one Violent Crimes
detective do?
The corruption involved in
the Jinyang new city development.
The disk you gave to the prosecutors
after manipulating the data.
Even if you don't have the original,
you must have a copy.
Don't tell me you don't have one.
I know a nasty and cunning
person like you
would have made a back up.
Where is that disk?
Huh?
Get them!
November 20, 2000.
In a warehouse in Kyungjin-dong,
Former Chief of Detectives
Kim Bum Joo's body was discovered.
The multiple injuries on his body
indicate that he was in a violent fight.
It is assumed that he was murdered.
Before he was murdered
he met with Violent Crimes Detective
Lee Jae Han of Jinyang Precinct.
Large amounts of Lee Jae Han's blood
and DNA were found on the crime scene.
Suspect Lee Jae Han's whereabouts have
been unknown since November 20, 2000.
His car was discovered on Highway 13.
The case was closed
due to statute of limitations.
Kim Bum Joo was found dead
in a warehouse.
Detective Lee Jae Han was named
a suspect, but he is missing.
Detective Lee wouldn't kill Kim Bum Joo,
an important witness and culprit.
Someone killed Kim Bum Joo
and framed Detective Lee Jae Han for it.
Who would do this?
Jae Han? Lee Jae Han!
Jae Han!
Lee Jae Han!
Lee Jae Han!
Senior!
Lee Jae Han!
If only I have the radio...
If only I have it...
Lieutenant Park.
There could be a way
even without the radio.
But I am certain that something
happens in Hongwon-dong.
It was written in your own notebook.
My notebook?
There was a memo inserted
in the back of your notebook.
You had written about the 1989
Gyeonggi Nambu case.
The 1995 larceny case.
I had written that? Are you sure?
Detective Lee knew that I'd
read this memo in the future.
The last message
he left me in the future.
No one would know this.
But I know these numbers.
[32-6]
Hae Young, what are you doing here?
I went to see you briefly yesterday.
How are you feeling? Are you okay?
Eat this.
There was something I wanted to ask you.
You know the detective that solved
Sun Woo's case when I was young?
Detective Lee Jae Han.
Did he, by any chance...
Did he, by any chance,
leave anything with you?
How did you know about that?
I got a call from that detective.
He said he'd mail me something
and it was important.
He asked me never to tell anyone.
He asked me to hold on to it
until he came for it.
He's someone we're very grateful to.
That's why I never threw it out
and held on to it.
I assumed he'd come for it someday.
[Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital]
I'm not sure if you'll get this letter,
Lieutenant.
I truly hope that you do.
This letter is my last method
of reaching you.
Do you remember what you said to me
about the first transmission?
I didn't send the transmission first.
It was you, Detective.
You're saying I sent
the transmission first?
You said this to me back then.
That the transmissions would start again.
And to convince you back in 1989.
Lieutenant Park.
Who are you?
Back then, when you sent and received
transmissions with me
it was a Lieutenant Park Hae Young
that didn't know me.
Ultimately, the transmissions
between us...
Do you suppose they looped around
like that over again?
However, I no longer received
transmissions after I survived.
I waited, hoping they might come again.
I should have died, but I lived,
so perhaps our fate has ended too.
My radio has yet to make a sound.
Mister Policeman.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I had a thought that day.
If the person who truly deserves
punishment is not punished...
I began to think that something
like this could happen all over again.
As for the enclosed disk...
It's a disk with data on the corruption
related to the 1995 Jinyang
new city development.
I thought a lot about who and where
to send this information.
But in the time that I live in...
I could not think of anyone.
No matter who I sent it to,
that person would be in danger.
Or the evidence would disappear again.
[Jang Young Chul Jingyang Corruption]
The Jinyang corruption news is spreading.
But the world you live in
must be different.
Your signature was found
on the files released online.
It's clear that it's a company document.
What are your comments?
Many people are starting to feel
that you should resign.
What are your thoughts?
The development of Jinyang helped
citizens with the issue of housing.
The region became
economically more developed.
It was an innovative and successful
city development business.
Accusing the business as corrupt
is the same as accusing
the government who oversaw it.
Furthermore, it is an insult
towards the Korean people.
Let's go now.
In order to calm the public, a special
prosecutor will be assigned to case.
If the investigation reveals
everything to be true
the political and economical entities of
this nation will suffer great troubles.
The files that were spread online...
It was the very documents that
the detective took sixteen years ago.
Do whatever you have to do.
- Find it.
- Yes.
At the very least
I believe your world is a place
where the wrongdoer gets punished.
I want to believe that.
You, in the future, are my last hope.
I think this letter will be
my last words to you as well.
Please be well and healthy.
I hope you're happy.
Hi. This post mark is from here, right?
Would I be able to find out
who sent this?
I'm looking for a missing person.
November 24, 2000.
Any unidentified remains around here.
Can I look up any skeletal remains?
What is it? You can't find anything?
No.
It's a relief.
There's nothing.
Have you ever seen him in this area?
I'm not sure. I don't think so.
He's tall, about 185 centimeters.
If you see someone similar,
please call me.
I will.
Detective Cha.
Do you remember me?
Once I pulled myself together,
I realized the cold case squad was gone.
No one remembered me.
So I went to Jinyang Precinct
to look for you.
They said they couldn't
get in touch with you.
But I still tried to contact you.
You couldn't find my number
in your saved contacts.
Did you do that too, Detective?
Yes.
Like you said,
everything had changed.
I gathered myself.
And I went to the emergency room
that you were at.
They said there were no patients
named Park Hae Young.
I even went to your place.
I saw your mother.
She said you were sick and sleeping.
It was a relief.
What about Detective Lee Jae Han?
I remember it.
All of it.
I know I had received Senior's orders.
But on the outside,
I didn't have that memory.
The fact that Senior went
missing didn't change.
And for the past 15 years...
I've been looking for him.
One more thing changed.
A call.
After Senior went missing,
I received a phone call.
Jinyang Precinct, Violent Crimes.
Please speak...
Hello?
Hello?
Senior?
Is that you?
It's you, isn't it?
Senior! Hello?
Hello?
This is Jinyang Precinct,
Violent Crimes, Team 2.
031-567-8236.
Can you trace the call
that came to this number?
[Pay Phone Junghyun Sangin-gu]
He didn't say a word.
But I knew it was him.
No...
I knew in my mind that it was him.
I don't know him.
Did you get that call on
November 24, 2000?
Yes.
He sent a letter to me
from here on that same day.
It was an envelope holding
important evidence.
The post office deletes
their records every year
so I can't confirm who sent it.
But I know it has to be Detective Lee.
This was the right place.
Senior was around here somewhere.
I'm sure he was around here 15 years ago,
but I don't think he is now.
Why would he have sent this
to me 15 years ago?
I think he knew that he was going to die.
That's why he wanted to leave behind
this piece of evidence.
Grabbing on to his last chance at hope,
he sent this to me.
There's no proof that he's dead.
I hope that he's alive too.
But he wouldn't be out of touch with
his family and friends for 15 years.
He wouldn't hide away like this.
If he was alive...
I'm positive he would have
contacted someone.
What if he had no other choice?
What if he could not contact anyone?
Like he wasn't fully conscious.
- Detective...
- There's no proof that he's dead.
If that's the case,
then he could be alive too.
Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital?
What is it?
I got this text a few days ago.
It was a strange text.
I looked into all the hospitals named
Junghyun Medical Treatment.
I couldn't find much.
[February 5. You can't go to
Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital]
Senior, you, and I...
only the three of us know
about the radio.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You can't go to
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
For smaller treatment centers
you can be admitted even without
confirming your identity.
That means you can be admitted
for a long time too.
But that doesn't make sense.
Detective Lee has been on the run
for a long time for murder.
He can't even use a credit card.
How could he hide out here for 15 years?
Unless he has someone helping him.
It would be impossible.
Someone helping him...
For 15 years...
There's no way he wouldn't
have contacted family or friends.
Welcome.
Do you need a watch fixed?
Detective Lee Jae Han...
Do you know my son?
[Kangwon - Seoul]
This never made sense
from the beginning.
Ever since I received transmissions
on a radio with no batteries.
So I don't already need
to feel disappointed .
I don't know what awaits me
at the end of this road.
Though I've never met him...
I may meet my closest friend.
Or a dangerous fate may await us.
I can't do anything now.
If Detective Lee Jae Han
is the one who sent this text
it would be dangerous to go there.
You know that.
He died on August 3rd after going
to Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
Detective Lee continued
to hold on to that radio.
I no longer received
transmissions from him.
But he could have started up
with someone else.
Like before...
He could have received transmissions
with someone from the future.
And that person from the future
warned him about February 5th
about Junghyun Medical
Treatment Hospital.
He may have received a warning that
something dangerous will happen.
No. It could be the opposite.
Senior went to Sunil Psychiatric Hospital
even after what he heard.
He might assume we will too.
And that's why he sent that message.
What are you doing?
There's only one thing I'm sure of.
These transmissions started because
of one person's determination
That voice over the radio
taught me one thing.
It will work out if you don't give up.
Is it like that there too?
If you have money and backing...
can you get away with everything,
no matter what horrible thing you do?
It's been 20 years, after all.
Something must have changed.
If you've done something wrong,
whether you have money or power...
they should be punished accordingly.
That's our job as the police!
I won't give up.
No matter what happens,
I will see it through to the end.
A detective...
can't lose focus.
The true mistake has to be corrected
in order to change the past.
And you can change the future too.
If you don't give up...
the work of toppling the corrupt power
that seemed so insurmountable...
and meeting the person you wandered
and searched 16 years for...
are all possible.
If you don't give up...
there is hope.
[Final Episode]
Senior Lee Jae Han.
They want you to prepare
for the briefing.
Should I go get all the documents?
No, I'll get them.
Tae Hyun, have you contacted all
of the suspect's acquaintances?
Go on home now.
This isn't a place for a kid like you.
Hey!
[Kim Yoon Jung Abduction Briefing]
- Lee Jae Han! Hurry up.
- Okay.
About that blackmail letter,
and the cafe the suspect was in...
Seo Hyung Joon's prints were there,
but they were only of his right thumb.
If he touched the table
and wrote a letter
his other fingerprints
should also be there.
It's strange that it's only the thumb.
So what?
We should look into Seo Hyung Joon's
unknown girlfriend some more.
So, look into her... by yourself.
You like doing things by yourself.
But... you should watch your back.
You should give it a rest.
We looked into all the women
in Seo Hyung Joon's life.
You should give it a rest too.
Sucking up to Kim Bum Joo,
that is.
I'll head off now.
No, I need you to do something else.
What?
Do you think I brought you down here
to catch a measly kidnapper?
Follow Lee Jae Han.
Lee Jae Han has found out
who the culprit of the Injoo case is.
Jang Tae Jin?
But he doesn't have evidence.
No, there was evidence.
Is that possibly why...
Park Sun Woo was
looking for Lee Jae Han?
Lee Jae Han is in possession of
the red scarf from the crime scene.
He's already sent the scarf
to the US and had it analyzed.
Then what should we do?
That's why I'm telling you to follow him.
Will following Lee Jae Han
provide a solution?
- Why don't we just...
- You little...
Why don't we just what?
You want to expose who's really guilty?
Is that it?
If we admit that we fabricated evidence,
we'll have to leave our jobs.
You think a country bumpkin like you will
be able to find a job at your age?
How will you pay
your daughter's hospital bills?
Use any and all methods.
Bring back the thing
that he should not have.
The radio.
You have to send a radio transmission.
You have to save Detective Lee Jae Han.
Don't talk. Stay still.
I'll call an ambulance.
11:23 p.m.
Always...
The transmissions always
come at 11:23 p.m.
Have you eaten?
Yes.
You sure picked a good day.
You transfer on a day like today.
Well...
Senior?
About what I said that time.
I think it should be resolved soon.
What?
Let me finish it,
and let's talk then.
[Notice of Business Closure]
This person is injured.
I'm in Joyong-dong, basement parking lot
of the Sanghwa Building. Hurry!
Park Hae Young, Park Hae Young.
Just a little longer.
Detective Lee...
You have to save him.
Lieutenant Park.
Lieutenant Park?
It's not working.
Or...
0.5... is that you?
I'm at Sunil Psychiatric Hospital,
the one that you told me about.
There is a corpse in the manhole
behind the building
with a noose around his neck.
It is Seo Hyung Joon,
the suspect of the Kim Yoon Jung case.
But... his thumb has been cut off.
Someone has killed Seo Hyung Joon
and made it look like a suicide.
Who are you?
What are you saying?
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital?
Where is that?
Lieutenant Park?
No...
Park Hae Young? Park Hae Young!
Park Hae Young, pull yourself together.
Park Hae Young!
Park Hae Young!
Hurry!
Wake up, Park Hae Young!
No, Park Hae Young. Park Hae Young!
Lee Jae Han... Lee Jae Han. Wake up now.
- Lee Jae Han!
- Ah, my head hurts.
Are you awake now?
The evidence for the Injoo case,
that red scarf...
Where is it?
Give it to me and stop this now.
No matter what you do,
nothing will change.
Is that what Kim Bum Joo said?
Did he tell you to bring him
the evidence for the Injoo case?
That red scarf isn't evidence
just for the Injoo case.
It's evidence of
Kim Bum Joo's murder of Sun Woo.
Do you know that?
What are you saying right now?
Park Sun Woo...
I'm certain he committed suicide.
Go now.
What is he saying?
Sun Woo didn't commit suicide?
I told you to butt out.
You want to try and catch me?
Someone like you dares
to go against me?
It was nice to see you try.
How did you manage to get that scarf?
The world doesn't always revolve
around making your life comfortable.
But in the end...
you came back to me dead.
I waited 15 years.
But you ended up dead, Senior!
The future can be changed.
I found evidence for Hae Seung's case.
It's a red scarf that Hae Seung
was wearing that day.
A scarf... a red scarf.
It's someone who should never
have that piece of evidence.
Someone made Sun Woo's death
look like a suicide.
Then took that evidence.
Kim Bum Joo must have taken it with him.
Being detail-oriented as Kim Bum Joo is
he wouldn't have thrown it out
just anywhere or burned it.
There would be a chance
that people would notice him.
He would have to get out of the area
as quickly as possible.
It would be hard to
take care of it in Injoo.
Bringing it back to Police Headquarters
would be too dangerous.
What else is there?
There's a variable that
I haven't thought of yet.
What is it?
[Sein Pharmacy]
A place where many people walk around.
A place where there's too much garbage
to be able find something
that had been tossed away.
A resting area on the way
from Injoo to Seoul.
Sein Rest Stop.
Sein Pharmacy.
Ma'am, I'd like to ask you a question.
When were those trash cans emptied?
Why do you ask?
Oh, I'm a cop. I'm looking
for important evidence.
When were they emptied?
A truck came a while ago
and took everything.
Where did it go? Where did the truck go?
What are you doing here?
Excuse me.
I asked you what you're doing.
Can't you hear me?
Just let me go for a second.
There's something I have to find.
What do you expect to find
in this pile of garbage?
And you can't mess it all up like this.
Get out of there now.
I have to find it.
- Just move for a second.
- No, get out.
What are you trying to find?
- I'm telling you to stop.
- I just need to look.
Wait.
Grandma.
Is that scarf yours?
Someone threw out a perfectly
good scarf, so I picked it up.
It was in the trash, right?
Are you a grown up? Are you human?
Goodbye.
Hello.
I need to send this package to New York.
The DNA matched.
It matches.
The scarf had the DNA of two women.
On the back side of the scarf,
semen was detected.
Besides Park Sun Woo, the blood
of an unknown male was found.
The blood of an unknown male...
The injury on his hand.
If I want an DNA test
on the unknown male
I will need a reference sample.
Gosh, he's not here right now.
You can't come in like this.
I wronged him last time and
I have to thank him for something.
- I'll just leave this.
- Then give it to me.
You sure are something.
Then let me just write a note
for him, all right?
I'll just leave this for him.
He's been so good to me.
I practically owe him my life.
I really do.
[You weren't here, so I left
this for you. Choi Sang Mook.]
The DNA results off
a cigarette butt that I sent
and the blood DNA
on the red scarf are a match.
Kim Bum Joo, you're dead now.
Prosecutor Oh Jae Sung.
It's me, Lee Jae Han.
I have the evidence.
Yes, it's the evidence against
Kim Bum Joo for murder.
Yes, that scarf.
Back then and even now, that has
always been the problem, right?
Gosh!
Who else knows about this?
I'll ask you one more time.
Does anyone else besides
Oh Jae Sung know about this?
Oh...
You want to know how I found out
when you only told Prosecutor Oh?
That's just how the world is.
Didn't you realize by now that
everyone is in the same boat?
This is your last chance.
Give up.
If you can promise me
that you'll give up
I can end this right now.
I don't want to kill
a fellow cop either.
No.
You have no intention on
letting me live anyway.
Do as you please.
Do it.
You mean, you don't want to give up.
- Get rid of him.
- Yes.
You can't.
Isn't it enough that
there's no evidence?
The data is there in the US.
We're done for if he asks them
for the results again.
Still, this isn't right.
- How could we do this to a fellow cop?
- A fellow cop?
Do you think he considers you
a fellow cop?
If you keep him alive,
both you and I are dead.
Okay.
Sir, you can't!
Are you crazy?
You're the one who dragged him here.
- Please don't.
- Move!
- Get him.
- No, you can't! No!
Get it together, you punk!
If he gets out of here
you'll rot in jail for years for
kidnapping and accepting bribes.
Then your daughter will die.
Make your choice.
Is it Lee Jae Han or your daughter?
Make your choice!
Let Ahn Chi Soo end him.
Okay.
It changed.
Park Hae Young, are you okay?
It changed.
We'll be at the hospital soon.
Hold on a little longer.
The transmission changed.
Long time ago, my first transmission...
I told him not to go to
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You are the one who told me
about this place.
But this time, I wasn't the one
who told him about it.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You can't go there.
Because the transmission changed
the past could have changed too.
When was the last time you saw
Detective Lee Jae Han?
August 3rd.
He left to go investigate
the Kim Yoon Jung case.
Is it the same as before?
Has anything changed?
No... nothing.
I think it should be resolved soon.
What?
Let me finish it,
and let's talk then.
He did say that.
I'll come back for sure.
My last memory of him is different.
I'll be back soon.
My memory has changed.
I'm certain...
he just said to wait until the weekend.
That it would be resolved soon.
He said to me that he would
come back for sure.
The past...
has already changed.
The past...
has already changed.
Everything will remain
a cold case if I die.
Both the Injoo case and Sun Woo's case.
And Cha Soo Hyun...
You told me to wait for you!
I waited so long for you.
I will go back.
We have an emergency patient.
11:23 p.m.
The time that Detective Lee died.
Rather than the fear of death...
you were more afraid of those cases
remaining unsolved, right?
Is that the desperation you felt
when you sent me the transmissions?
Detective...
Use that determination to live.
Not the transmissions, but use
your own determination and will.
Don't give up.
Jae Han.
Hey, what took you guys so long?
How were we supposed
to find your exact location?
Kim Bum Joo! Go get Kim Bum Joo.
Hold on one moment.
The ambulance will be here.
We better get going.
Your head. Watch your head.
Senior!
What happened here?
Are you crazy?
You told me to avoid
criminals with knives.
What is this?
What am I going to do?
I kept my promise.
I stopped by because you're sick.
I wanted to see you wake up.
I had to go because of the restaurant.
Make sure to eat the rice.
Mom.
As for the abduction of Kim Yoo Jung
from Jinyang Elementary School
the true culprit has been
found and arrested.
Yoon is a nurse at
a psychiatric hospital.
It was discovered that she kidnapped
Kim Yoon Jung due to credit card debt.
Yoon has murdered the missing Seo,
causing great shock to everyone.
Sun Woo did not do it.
What do you mean?
Sun Woo didn't do it?
That's right.
Sun Woo...
was not guilty of the crimes
in the Injoo rape case.
Also...
He was trying to find the true culprit
in the Injoo case.
And he was murdered for it.
Sun Woo wanted his family
to live together again.
Because of that...
he ended up being killed.
I apologize.
For Sun Woo's death.
And for being unable expose who
was truly guilty in the Injoo case...
I'm sorry.
Sun Woo!
Mister Policeman.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Okay.
Detective Lee Jae Han?
He survived and lived.
Welcome.
Do you need a watch fixed?
Detective Lee Jae Han...
Do you know my son?
Yes.
Where is the detective now?
I don't know how a young man
like you knows my son.
My son has been missing.
It's already been over 15 years.
What are you doing? Bring it now.
What are you doing? Go over now.
Yes, okay.
What can I help you with?
Oh, what happened over here?
What happened here?
Which precinct are you from?
Do you know me?
I'm Lieutenant Park Hae Young...
Who are you?
Not just anyone can barge in here.
[North Gate Station]
What in the world...
What are you doing?
Get him out of here.
Okay.
You can't be in here.
What a strange guy.
- Do you know him?
- No.
Hey, don't let just anyone walk in here.
Where is it?
I told you, I got it here.
I told you that I gave it to you.
If you gave it to me,
why don't I have it?
You're the one who isn't keeping
things in order, Senior.
Look at you, talking back
to me like that.
Who are you...
This isn't a place that people
should just walk into like this.
You're a team leader for Team 3
at North Gate Station.
Lieutenant Park Hae Young, right?
This is your desk, right?
Is Detective Cha Soo Hyun around?
Why are you looking for Detective Cha?
She's always saying she has no money.
Did she sign up for insurance again?
Or did she get a new car?
Ah.... well.
I'm Lieutenant Park Hae Young
from North Gate Station.
Lieutenant?
Why didn't you tell us
your rank to begin with?
Civil servants could get in trouble
if they don't tell people their rank.
I have something important
I need to discuss with her.
Has she gone somewhere far?
We don't know either.
She left suddenly
and I haven't seen her.
Let us know if you find her, okay?
She's not picking up her phone
and she's not at home.
We're so busy. Where the heck is she?
Anyway, send those results again.
There are only so many times.
I won't do it this time.
You always lose it. You can't do that.
I'm telling you that I didn't get it.
I give it to you and you lose it.
I give it to you and you lose it.
Are you a disposal or something?
I didn't get them from you at all.
Would I be lying to you about it?
Oh! Why are you here on your day off?
What is it?
What are you looking for?
That radio.
That old radio with no batteries.
Don't you remember it?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I brought it in that time.
You brought in a radio, Lieutenant?
You never did that.
Hello.
It doesn't suit me anymore.
Coffee?
- Two coffees, please.
- Okay.
Soo Hyun, wait!
Cha Soo Hyun!
Just wait, would you?
Oh, wait!
Gosh, wait.
It is your first date, after all.
You're going on it looking like this?
What?
I could get called out while I'm out.
Should I wear a skirt and heels then?
Still, this is not right!
Spray this on at least.
Guys love this stuff.
They will just die.
- Forget it.
- What do you mean, forget it?
I want my own room
by the end of the year, okay?
Good luck!
Go back inside.
If I get the room to myself by tonight,
that's even better.
Hello.
Hey.
Come outside.
Outside? Where?
Do you not like grilled meat?
Not at all.
Wow, that looks good.
Does something smell weird to you?
Is it this?
Are you a regular here, Senior?
No, not me, but someone I know well.
Did you come to see that little kid?
It's been a long time
since he's come here.
He's living with his mom and dad now.
Yes, I know.
Who is this little kid?
It's just someone.
It's not...
What?
It's not your...
It's not, right?
Just drink.
Are you still looking for Kim Bum Joo?
You've done more than enough.
You should let someone else
look for him.
Kim Bum Joo is not big fish.
What does that mean?
There's another person
who truly deserves punishment.
The person behind it all, the one
who made everything happened.
The true mistake has to be corrected
in order to change the past.
And you can change the future too.
You should eat.
I've never seen you with your hair down.
I've had it down a few times.
What are you staring at like that?
Oh my.
That small kid from back then
is already of age to drink soju?
Time goes by so fast.
Was that the last time?
Huh?
Back then...
that detective?
Yes.
He can once with that woman
and I never saw him again.
Ma'am!
- Hello.
- Do you have grilled meat?
Yes, we have that.
Detective... exactly what...
What happened?
What? Where are you?
I'm in Kyungjin-dong.
Contact the others and hurry up.
Senior!
Where exactly in Kyungjin-dong?
I told you, didn't I?
I wouldn't let you get away.
So what?
Do you think the world
will change if you catch me?
It's better to live as a dog
than to whine and live complaining
that it's a dog's world.
No, it's not you that I want.
I need to catch someone else
to change the world.
The uncle of the principal offender
of the Injoo case.
Congressman Jang Young Chul.
He knew exactly what
his nephew had done.
And he got a weak child killed
just to cover that up.
That son of a bitch!
It was him, wasn't it?
What about it?
Because he lived that way
he has the power that he has.
That's how the world works!
That's what the problem is.
It will be done again a few time more,
then ten or twenty times more.
Those same crimes will be
committed over and over again.
Him covering them up with power
and quieting people with money.
Him using crime to fabricate lies!
That's why I'm trying to stop it here.
I'm going catch him with my hands, okay?
You?
Not the police,
not the prosecution...
Even the President can't mess with him.
So what can one Violent Crimes
detective do?
The corruption involved in
the Jinyang new city development.
The disk you gave to the prosecutors
after manipulating the data.
Even if you don't have the original,
you must have a copy.
Don't tell me you don't have one.
I know a nasty and cunning
person like you
would have made a back up.
Where is that disk?
Huh?
Get them!
November 20, 2000.
In a warehouse in Kyungjin-dong,
Former Chief of Detectives
Kim Bum Joo's body was discovered.
The multiple injuries on his body
indicate that he was in a violent fight.
It is assumed that he was murdered.
Before he was murdered
he met with Violent Crimes Detective
Lee Jae Han of Jinyang Precinct.
Large amounts of Lee Jae Han's blood
and DNA were found on the crime scene.
Suspect Lee Jae Han's whereabouts have
been unknown since November 20, 2000.
His car was discovered on Highway 13.
The case was closed
due to statute of limitations.
Kim Bum Joo was found dead
in a warehouse.
Detective Lee Jae Han was named
a suspect, but he is missing.
Detective Lee wouldn't kill Kim Bum Joo,
an important witness and culprit.
Someone killed Kim Bum Joo
and framed Detective Lee Jae Han for it.
Who would do this?
Jae Han? Lee Jae Han!
Jae Han!
Lee Jae Han!
Lee Jae Han!
Senior!
Lee Jae Han!
If only I have the radio...
If only I have it...
Lieutenant Park.
There could be a way
even without the radio.
But I am certain that something
happens in Hongwon-dong.
It was written in your own notebook.
My notebook?
There was a memo inserted
in the back of your notebook.
You had written about the 1989
Gyeonggi Nambu case.
The 1995 larceny case.
I had written that? Are you sure?
Detective Lee knew that I'd
read this memo in the future.
The last message
he left me in the future.
No one would know this.
But I know these numbers.
[32-6]
Hae Young, what are you doing here?
I went to see you briefly yesterday.
How are you feeling? Are you okay?
Eat this.
There was something I wanted to ask you.
You know the detective that solved
Sun Woo's case when I was young?
Detective Lee Jae Han.
Did he, by any chance...
Did he, by any chance,
leave anything with you?
How did you know about that?
I got a call from that detective.
He said he'd mail me something
and it was important.
He asked me never to tell anyone.
He asked me to hold on to it
until he came for it.
He's someone we're very grateful to.
That's why I never threw it out
and held on to it.
I assumed he'd come for it someday.
[Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital]
I'm not sure if you'll get this letter,
Lieutenant.
I truly hope that you do.
This letter is my last method
of reaching you.
Do you remember what you said to me
about the first transmission?
I didn't send the transmission first.
It was you, Detective.
You're saying I sent
the transmission first?
You said this to me back then.
That the transmissions would start again.
And to convince you back in 1989.
Lieutenant Park.
Who are you?
Back then, when you sent and received
transmissions with me
it was a Lieutenant Park Hae Young
that didn't know me.
Ultimately, the transmissions
between us...
Do you suppose they looped around
like that over again?
However, I no longer received
transmissions after I survived.
I waited, hoping they might come again.
I should have died, but I lived,
so perhaps our fate has ended too.
My radio has yet to make a sound.
Mister Policeman.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I had a thought that day.
If the person who truly deserves
punishment is not punished...
I began to think that something
like this could happen all over again.
As for the enclosed disk...
It's a disk with data on the corruption
related to the 1995 Jinyang
new city development.
I thought a lot about who and where
to send this information.
But in the time that I live in...
I could not think of anyone.
No matter who I sent it to,
that person would be in danger.
Or the evidence would disappear again.
[Jang Young Chul Jingyang Corruption]
The Jinyang corruption news is spreading.
But the world you live in
must be different.
Your signature was found
on the files released online.
It's clear that it's a company document.
What are your comments?
Many people are starting to feel
that you should resign.
What are your thoughts?
The development of Jinyang helped
citizens with the issue of housing.
The region became
economically more developed.
It was an innovative and successful
city development business.
Accusing the business as corrupt
is the same as accusing
the government who oversaw it.
Furthermore, it is an insult
towards the Korean people.
Let's go now.
In order to calm the public, a special
prosecutor will be assigned to case.
If the investigation reveals
everything to be true
the political and economical entities of
this nation will suffer great troubles.
The files that were spread online...
It was the very documents that
the detective took sixteen years ago.
Do whatever you have to do.
- Find it.
- Yes.
At the very least
I believe your world is a place
where the wrongdoer gets punished.
I want to believe that.
You, in the future, are my last hope.
I think this letter will be
my last words to you as well.
Please be well and healthy.
I hope you're happy.
Hi. This post mark is from here, right?
Would I be able to find out
who sent this?
I'm looking for a missing person.
November 24, 2000.
Any unidentified remains around here.
Can I look up any skeletal remains?
What is it? You can't find anything?
No.
It's a relief.
There's nothing.
Have you ever seen him in this area?
I'm not sure. I don't think so.
He's tall, about 185 centimeters.
If you see someone similar,
please call me.
I will.
Detective Cha.
Do you remember me?
Once I pulled myself together,
I realized the cold case squad was gone.
No one remembered me.
So I went to Jinyang Precinct
to look for you.
They said they couldn't
get in touch with you.
But I still tried to contact you.
You couldn't find my number
in your saved contacts.
Did you do that too, Detective?
Yes.
Like you said,
everything had changed.
I gathered myself.
And I went to the emergency room
that you were at.
They said there were no patients
named Park Hae Young.
I even went to your place.
I saw your mother.
She said you were sick and sleeping.
It was a relief.
What about Detective Lee Jae Han?
I remember it.
All of it.
I know I had received Senior's orders.
But on the outside,
I didn't have that memory.
The fact that Senior went
missing didn't change.
And for the past 15 years...
I've been looking for him.
One more thing changed.
A call.
After Senior went missing,
I received a phone call.
Jinyang Precinct, Violent Crimes.
Please speak...
Hello?
Hello?
Senior?
Is that you?
It's you, isn't it?
Senior! Hello?
Hello?
This is Jinyang Precinct,
Violent Crimes, Team 2.
031-567-8236.
Can you trace the call
that came to this number?
[Pay Phone Junghyun Sangin-gu]
He didn't say a word.
But I knew it was him.
No...
I knew in my mind that it was him.
I don't know him.
Did you get that call on
November 24, 2000?
Yes.
He sent a letter to me
from here on that same day.
It was an envelope holding
important evidence.
The post office deletes
their records every year
so I can't confirm who sent it.
But I know it has to be Detective Lee.
This was the right place.
Senior was around here somewhere.
I'm sure he was around here 15 years ago,
but I don't think he is now.
Why would he have sent this
to me 15 years ago?
I think he knew that he was going to die.
That's why he wanted to leave behind
this piece of evidence.
Grabbing on to his last chance at hope,
he sent this to me.
There's no proof that he's dead.
I hope that he's alive too.
But he wouldn't be out of touch with
his family and friends for 15 years.
He wouldn't hide away like this.
If he was alive...
I'm positive he would have
contacted someone.
What if he had no other choice?
What if he could not contact anyone?
Like he wasn't fully conscious.
- Detective...
- There's no proof that he's dead.
If that's the case,
then he could be alive too.
Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital?
What is it?
I got this text a few days ago.
It was a strange text.
I looked into all the hospitals named
Junghyun Medical Treatment.
I couldn't find much.
[February 5. You can't go to
Junghyun Medical Treatment Hospital]
Senior, you, and I...
only the three of us know
about the radio.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
August 3rd, Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
You can't go to
Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
For smaller treatment centers
you can be admitted even without
confirming your identity.
That means you can be admitted
for a long time too.
But that doesn't make sense.
Detective Lee has been on the run
for a long time for murder.
He can't even use a credit card.
How could he hide out here for 15 years?
Unless he has someone helping him.
It would be impossible.
Someone helping him...
For 15 years...
There's no way he wouldn't
have contacted family or friends.
Welcome.
Do you need a watch fixed?
Detective Lee Jae Han...
Do you know my son?
[Kangwon - Seoul]
This never made sense
from the beginning.
Ever since I received transmissions
on a radio with no batteries.
So I don't already need
to feel disappointed .
I don't know what awaits me
at the end of this road.
Though I've never met him...
I may meet my closest friend.
Or a dangerous fate may await us.
I can't do anything now.
If Detective Lee Jae Han
is the one who sent this text
it would be dangerous to go there.
You know that.
He died on August 3rd after going
to Sunil Psychiatric Hospital.
Detective Lee continued
to hold on to that radio.
I no longer received
transmissions from him.
But he could have started up
with someone else.
Like before...
He could have received transmissions
with someone from the future.
And that person from the future
warned him about February 5th
about Junghyun Medical
Treatment Hospital.
He may have received a warning that
something dangerous will happen.
No. It could be the opposite.
Senior went to Sunil Psychiatric Hospital
even after what he heard.
He might assume we will too.
And that's why he sent that message.
What are you doing?
There's only one thing I'm sure of.
These transmissions started because
of one person's determination
That voice over the radio
taught me one thing.
It will work out if you don't give up.
Is it like that there too?
If you have money and backing...
can you get away with everything,
no matter what horrible thing you do?
It's been 20 years, after all.
Something must have changed.
If you've done something wrong,
whether you have money or power...
they should be punished accordingly.
That's our job as the police!
I won't give up.
No matter what happens,
I will see it through to the end.
A detective...
can't lose focus.
The true mistake has to be corrected
in order to change the past.
And you can change the future too.
If you don't give up...
the work of toppling the corrupt power
that seemed so insurmountable...
and meeting the person you wandered
and searched 16 years for...
are all possible.
If you don't give up...
there is hope.
