While You Were Sleeping (2017): Season 1, Episode 13 - Episode #1.13 - full transcript
That moment was like a gift.
I was even grateful
for all the decisions
that led up to this moment.
All the decisions that seemed foolish
were wise in the end.
And even the decisions I regretted...
were right in the end.
Just like that,
everything made my heart flutter
and was beautiful.
And I was relieved...
about everything.
But there was just one thing.
Do you think he's doing well?
What?
Remember the guy at the reservoir?
The police officer
was trying to end his life there.
I remember him from time to time.
And I worry about him, too.
Don't worry about him. He's doing well.
Really? How do you know that?
Where does he live?
That man sent us money again.
I don't know where he lives
or what his name is.
But I know for sure that he's alive.
So you don't need to worry about him.
That's a relief. That's all I need
to know. I just need to know he's alive.
"What though life conspire to cheat you,
do not sorrow or complain.
Hearts live in the coming day.
There's an end to passing sorrow.
Suddenly all flies away,
and delight...
returns tomorrow."
13 YEARS AGO
Gosh, what a nice poem.
Jesus Christ! You startled me.
Sir, I'm hungry.
I want to eat.
Okay. I'll get you some food right now.
You're not going
to try anything stupid, right?
I won't go anywhere.
And I won't do anything stupid.
My life...
doesn't end now.
I need to meet someone...
in the distant future.
Will we be able to recognize him
if we meet again?
We didn't even recognize each other.
Won't it be the same with him?
Right.
We might not have recognized him
even when we've already met.
Why? Do you want to meet him?
Yes. What about you?
Me too.
But do you think he would want to meet us?
I'm not sure.
When we met him in the future,
he told us...
that he thought
about meeting us more often...
and more desperately...
than we thought about meeting him.
But we couldn't recognize him
for a long time...
when he came to meet us
after waiting for a very long time.
And small incidents...
that were scattered
around like small waves...
came together one at a time
and approached us slowly,
while creating a big wave...
which...
paved the way to him.
You're not having a funeral?
No one would come anyway.
What are you wearing?
I didn't have any black outfits,
so I just wore my brother's suit.
My brother has long arms and legs
for no good reason.
Right. He did have long arms and legs
for no good reason.
Have you seen my brother?
I went to your brother's trial.
Really?
Yes.
He crushed the defense counsel,
saying that justice is a river or whatnot.
It felt good to watch.
And I was grateful, too.
Grateful? Why are you grateful?
The defense counsel...
was the one responsible
for my dad's death.
Who was it?
Prosecutor Lee Yu-beom.
No.
Now, he's a lawyer.
Do you get more money
if you check it again?
-Hello.
-Lawyer Lee.
Today is my payday,
but why do I have such a low balance?
It feels like it takes ages to get paid,
but when they take money from us,
they are fast.
Right.
Why don't you two work at my law firm?
I'll make you feel like
you're getting paid at lightning speed.
Really?
I'll try to match the annual salary
you tell me.
And I'll guarantee your job
until retirement
and you'll get off work on time, too.
I'm in. I'd love to.
What about you, Mr. Choi?
Well, I told you my answer that day.
I don't want to.
I want to! I totally want to!
On one condition, Hyang-mi.
Convince Mr. Choi to work
at my law firm with us.
I'll wait for you, Mr. Choi.
What kind of condition is that?
Am I a bonus?
A freebie? Buy one, get one free?
Hyang-mi.
Keep Lawyer Lee's offer a secret
from Prosecutor Jeong.
Don't tell anyone.
I'm so disappointed.
Do you think I have a big mouth?
Don't you know me?
Yu-beom is trying to poach Mr. Choi?
Yes. He said he'd match
whatever annual salary Mr. Choi wants.
He was trying to convince Mr. Choi.
He was determined.
My gosh,
Mr. Choi works with a sense of duty.
Money won't convince him to move.
Of course it can. It's very possible.
His job is secured until he retires.
And he'll get a separate office,
facing south.
And he'll get a corporate credit card.
If he's in his right mind,
he'd quit right away.
But I bet Mr. Choi likes working with me
more than working with Yu-beom.
He doesn't like working with you.
You're frustrating and slow.
You're like a groundhog
who always digs into cases.
And you make him work overtime
and go to the crime scenes.
I feel so bad for Mr. Choi
that it makes me tear up.
So what do you want me to do?
Why are you telling me that?
Appreciate him while you have him.
You should butter him up and put on
some cute acts here and there.
And give him some presents, too.
Forget it. If I need to do those things
to make him work here against his will,
I will not work with him.
See you inside.
It didn't work.
Damn it.
Gosh, why is this box empty?
Thank you.
I heard everything from Hyang-mi.
Yu-beom offered you a job.
Hyang-mi, you already told him?
How could you bring that up right away?
I think working for him is the right
thing to do if the conditions are better.
I see.
Hold on.
What?
My gosh, no. I'll do it.
-I will do it.
-Don't move.
I don't want to hold you here
against your will.
I can't lie to you
and make a promise that I'll do better...
when I can't keep it.
The decision is completely up to you.
Even if you choose to leave,
I won't resent you.
What?
Make a V.
Don't mind me or feel bad for me.
Take your time and make your decision.
Okay.
WITH MY MENTOR
PROSECUTOR JEONG JAE-CHAN
Let's come up with a novel idea
for the Three-Day Experience.
Don't suggest easy themes like sea-fishing
or picking grapes at the farm.
Suggest some novel ideas.
How about the experience
of a pregnant woman who's due soon?
In fact, this costume
was designed to make you feel
just like how a pregnant woman feels
at eight months.
With this costume on, for three days, we
can change our shoes and take the subway
to experience
what it's like to be a pregnant woman.
We can point out the ways we can be
considerate for pregnant women.
Okay. Let's keep it. Any other ideas?
How about three days
at the prosecutors' office?
We don't have a lot of chances
to observe the daily lives of prosecutors.
That's a good idea, but we can't.
No prosecutors will agree to this.
They won't let us film because
the investigations are confidential,
they need to protect the suspects' rights
and whatnot.
No, I can get them to agree.
The chief prosecutor at
Hangang District Office is press-friendly.
I met him on a golf course a few days ago
and explained to him about my idea.
And I got a positive response from him.
You should have started with that.
Let's keep this, too.
Du-hyeon, isn't it more meaningful
for a man to go three days
as a pregnant woman
than for a woman to do so?
Right. Men who can't relate to
being pregnant need to wear the costume
to make the segment meaningful.
Okay. Hong-ju will observe prosecutors
at their office for three days.
And Du-hyeon will experience pregnancy
for three days.
Okay. What?
Why me?
We have a lot of newbies here for that.
You just said so yourself.
It's meaningful if a guy does it.
Since you understand
the concept the most, you should do it.
Captain.
You look great, sir.
Sir, you're my role model.
What a bummer.
You'll steal Reporter of the Year
from me again this year.
Oh, no. I think I'm going to have
a lot of work at the prosecutors' office.
Hey! The prosecutors' office...
Being pregnant is a million times harder!
I knew it. Du-hyeon understands
the hardships of pregnant women the best.
I'll really look forward to your segment.
Give him a round of applause!
You can do it!
-You have my respect.
-You're all mad.
-You look good.
-Win that award!
Damn it.
INVESTIGATOR CHOI DAM-DONG
Mr. Choi, can't you not work for Yu-beom?
That's a double negative.
It sounds confusing.
Don't leave.
Does that sound too rude?
Don't go. Will you go?
Don't go. Don't go...
Jae-chan.
What is it?
Don't go to Yu-beom.
Damn it. This is bad!
I sent the text message.
What is it?
I sounded so rude
and demanding to Mr. Choi.
What should I do? Damn it.
What did he say?
I won't go.
Hey, he's not going!
He's not going! He won't go!
I love you, Mr. Choi.
What? What is it?
What did Dae-gu see in you
to give you this?
What is this?
I have a friend named Myeong Dae-gu.
He asked me to give this to you.
Myeong Dae-gu?
This looks like a suicide note.
Yes. The serial murderer
who killed people with IV drips
committed suicide in prison a while ago.
It's his suicide note.
How do you have this?
That guy is Dae-gu's father.
Dae-gu wanted you to take a look at this.
Me? Why?
He said that his father might have died
when he was innocent.
He wants you to help him clear his name.
Hey, everyone who goes to prison
says that they are innocent.
They all say they are wronged.
But still, just read it.
When I read it,
something didn't feel right.
And even more so...
because Yu-beom
was the prosecutor in charge.
With this case, Yu-beom even won an award
from the Prosecutor General.
I USED TO BE A DOCTOR
WHO SAVED PATIENTS' LIVES
BUT I'VE NOW BECOME A MURDERER
WHO KILLED THOSE PATIENTS.
I HOPE MY SON WILL UNDERSTAND MY DECISION
AND FORGIVE ME. I AM INNOCENT.
At the Yeonju Prosecutors' Office,
I received a commendation
from the Prosecutor General
with the restaurant case
and the serial murder case.
All I did was just follow through
on what Mr. Choi set up for me,
but I even got a commendation for it.
Gosh, you're too kind.
Should we go in now?
Later.
We'll get them
when he makes contact with the fence.
POWER OFF
PLEASE RETURN MY CELLPHONE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A BIG REWARD.
REWARD IS FIVE MILLION WON.
I WILL NEVER REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE.
I'LL GIVE YOU TEN MILLION WON.
MEET ME TOMORROW AT 1 P.M.
UNDER CHEONGIL UNDERPASS.
Ten million won?
What's in this phone? Why would
someone pay ten million won for it?
There you go.
Jae-chan.
You think that police officer
might have dreams about our future?
Yes. U-tak and I talked about
how these dreams all started a while ago.
According to the rule,
the police officer should dream about us.
Rule? What rule?
The rule is that you dream
about the person
who saved you from death.
I usually dream about Jae-chan.
And Jae-chan usually dreams about Hong-ju.
Is that so?
When I first heard about it,
I thought it made no sense
because I had no idea
that you were Chestnut.
But it all makes sense
because you're Chestnut.
You saved me from the reservoir
13 years ago.
And I saved U-tak from the car accident.
That does make sense.
But why do we have dreams?
When I almost died in the car accident,
this crossed my mind.
"I really almost died.
I want to repay the person who saved me."
Because of that thought,
my dreams started.
The dreams that show
the future of the person that saved me.
What do you think? Doesn't it make sense?
It does.
ON THE MATTRESS...
Since we saved the police officer
from the reservoir,
according to the rule,
he could also see our future in his dream?
JEONG JAE-CHAN AND NAM HONG-JU DIE!
-Right.
-Then, he must know both of your faces
and where you live.
Well...
probably.
No. I thought about it,
but it makes no sense.
He would have come to see us
if that rule was true.
You think he'd want to see you?
It's not like you met at a happy occasion.
It will only hurt each other's feelings
if you meet.
Is that so?
What is it?
What? It's nothing.
Right. I'll be going to your department
to do my news coverage starting today.
-For three days.
-Why?
You're coming to our department?
For three days?
Oh, that? Is it for
the Three-Day Experience?
That segment is fun.
Then, you'll be seeing
Prosecutor Jeong at his office?
Hey, you!
The fault is with you!
Are you a secret inspector or something?
-Oh, no!
-Gosh.
Gosh. Are you okay?
You did that on purpose!
He's the groundhog
of Criminal Department Three.
I almost forgot.
This is why no one is welcoming him back.
Damn it.
I think I'll be glued to you
for three days.
To me?
The chief prosecutor selected
the most competent
and good-looking prosecutor
in your department as my source.
It is Jae-chan if it's the most competent
and good-looking prosecutor.
Would that be me?
Nice to meet you. My name is Sin Hui-min.
We've met before, right?
I'm Nam Hong-ju of SBC News.
I hope we can work well together.
Ms. Sin.
Please help Ms. Nam
to record the candid side
of the prosecution. Okay?
Yes, sir. Don't worry.
Follow me.
Have a good day.
Goodness.
All right.
She's close to Rookie.
You should've assigned Rookie to her.
-Why did you choose her?
-I know.
I guess you only say
that you cherish Mr. Jeong.
Mr. Jeong, isn't this disappointing?
No, I'm okay.
Gosh, you guys are so clueless.
I didn't assign her to him
because I cherish him.
They are crazy about each other right now.
Imagine that she observes him
for three days.
Her romantic fantasy about him will be
shattered and she'll be disappointed.
Why would that happen?
What's so bad about Mr. Jeong?
Which one of us has
the most unsolved cases in our department?
Mr. Jeong.
Which one of us has
the most typos in our reports?
Mr. Jeong.
And which one of us takes a month
to submit his report
on a simple theft case
when others take a week to finish?
Mr. Jeong.
Then,
will her fantasy be shattered or not?
It will be shattered.
Should you be grateful to me or not?
-Thank you.
-My gosh.
Mr. Jeong, let's do better. Okay?
Okay.
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE:
PROSECUTOR SIN HUI-MIN
You scammed cancer patients by telling
them that the bellflower root powder
is a cure for every disease, correct?
"Bellflower root"?
I don't speak good Korean.
I'm a very good person.
I'm a good person.
I mean, ma'am,
I swear, I really sold it
out of the goodness of my heart.
I swear. Okay?
That's no excuse
for a violation of the law.
I really didn't know
that it was against the law.
If I knew about it,
I'd be happy to face my punishment.
If you're happy to face it,
it's not a punishment.
It'd be candy.
You'll be punished, so you suffer.
Just accept it.
Cool.
You should be relieved
that Prosecutor Sin is a woman.
If she were a man,
Ms. Nam would have fallen for her.
Yes, probably.
Hey, keep your chin up.
I'll let you borrow my car
whenever you want.
-Really?
-Yes.
Thank you, sir. You're the best.
If you are really grateful, can you swap
the night duty shift with me?
Sure. Do you have plans tonight?
Yes.
With whom?
You know... Bye.
-Bye.
-Who?
You know.
We can go on a date today.
INTERROGATION AND OBSERVATION ROOM
Perfect timing.
-Come on in. Take a seat.
-Okay.
Thank you. Both of you.
-What?
-For what?
For staying with me
when I'm lacking in many areas.
What's gotten into him?
Mr. Choi.
I won't go. I won't leave.
I'll stay by your side.
And I'll retire here.
Stop bringing that up now.
If you continue, you'll give me goosebumps
and I'll become a goose.
It's not that.
Do you know a man named Myeong I-seok?
Myeong I-seok? I've heard of that guy.
He's the notorious IV Drip Serial Killer.
He committed suicide a while ago.
Yu-beom was the prosecutor on his case
at Yeonju District Prosecutors' Office.
-Did you investigate the case with him?
-Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
I came across
his suicide note and petitions.
When I read them, some parts bothered me.
It was a clean case.
When you listen to the criminals,
their stories sound convincing.
They feel wronged.
And, of course, we feel bad.
But if you fall for their tricks,
you'll be in serious trouble.
Okay.
Being punctual
is the key in direct dealing.
Wait, am I being scammed right now?
Did you bring the cellphone?
The money?
What's inside that phone? Why would
you pay ten million won for that?
What is this? Were you being tailed?
-Shit.
-Damn it.
-Hey!
-Go after the fence.
-Yes, sir.
-Damn it!
Hey! Stop right there!
Hey!
You know the gukbap restaurant nearby?
That restaurant was on Meal Perfectionist.
Do you want to check it out?
The light is green. They're fully charged.
-Sir.
-Yes?
By any chance...
Wait. Isn't that Detective Go?
Yes, it is.
Where is he going?
Hey!
Detective Go, what's going on?
-The gray shirt...
-The gray shirt?
He bought a stolen cellphone.
What?
Gray...
Gray...
Hey, U-tak.
It's the man in checkered pants.
I'm Lieutenant Han
of Sanggu Patrol Division. Please stop.
Hey, let go of me.
I'm a victim.
Why would a victim run away?
-I ran because you were chasing me.
-Let's talk at the station.
Let go of me!
Is it necessary for you to record
the prosecutor during the night duty?
You have two more days left.
I want to get off work, too.
But my captain told me
to record prosecutors for 24 hours.
What choice do I have?
I need to follow my orders.
What else can I do?
-Prosecutor Son.
-Hi.
Who's on the night duty today?
It was supposed to be Mr. Lee,
but he switched with Mr. Jeong.
Why did he switch...
with Rookie?
Hey, can you take over
the night duty today?
I have a prior engagement.
Then, what about Prosecutor Sin?
I heard that she also had plans.
Just trust him and let him handle it.
Mr. Jeong is working hard.
Of course, I know that.
That's all he's been doing day and night.
What? She'll record me
during my night duty?
Wait, no. It's... Okay.
I got it. Okay.
Damn it. This is bad.
Is someone coming to the office?
We're done questioning people for the day.
She's going to come and record me
during my night shift.
Hyang-mi, can you hide these case files
in Prosecutor Lee's office?
-Why?
-Gosh, it looks like
I have a lot of unsolved cases.
And it makes me look incompetent.
You should just be yourself. Be yourself.
If I do that,
I would humiliate the organization.
So he knows that.
I didn't wash this once.
Gosh, this is bad.
Mr. Choi, she won't be able
to record the smell, right?
Thanks for the candid snippet of your day,
Prosecutor Jeong.
I guess we're going to be on TV.
Goodness. Oh, Lord.
Why on earth did you meet Park Dae-yeong?
I told you already.
The person who lost the phone
begged me to find the phone.
So I went there on behalf of that person.
-Actually, I'm a victim in all of this.
-What about the ten million won?
I guess it was worth
that much money to that person.
You know? You know there are phones
with a lot of valuable memories and stuff.
Why did you throw away the phone
in the river if it was that valuable?
It wasn't even yours.
I didn't throw it away.
My hands slipped, so it fell.
There's definitely something on the phone.
Don't you think so?
Right. Something unbelievably suspicious
must be on the phone.
What could it be? We can't even find it
since he threw it in the river.
Damn it. This is so frustrating. You know?
Park Dae-yeong, why don't you talk
to the prosecutor via video call?
No, I don't want to do it via video call.
I'd like to meet the prosecutor in person.
I want to meet the prosecutor in person.
Chief, aren't you going home?
What? Don't mind me. Just pretend
I'm not here. Just keep working.
Keep filming him. Pretend I'm not here.
-Okay.
-I'll be outside.
-Good luck.
-Okay. Thanks.
What's the main task
of the prosecutor on night duty?
We mainly handle the requests
for arrest warrants from the police
and decide
whether to detain suspects or not.
Excuse me.
This is Jeong Jae-chan of Seoul
Hangang District Prosecutors' Office.
Yes, right now?
Goodness.
Oh, Lord.
Is someone coming here?
Yes, please come up. Yes.
Right. What's the name of the prosecutor?
I hope he's lenient.
-Goodness.
-No?
That's the office.
He habitually steals cellphones.
The police requested an arrest warrant
because there's a possibility
he might flee or destroy evidence.
Wait... Where have I seen him?
Usually, I question the suspect
via phone call or video call.
But he's coming here because he insisted
on talking to me in person.
After questioning him here,
you decide whether to issue
the warrant or not, correct?
-Correct.
-Sir.
-Okay.
-Sit there.
All right. You can sit right here.
You wanted to see me in person?
Yes.
ARREST WARRANT REQUEST
ON PARK DAE-YEONG FOR THEFT
You have the same name
as my chief prosecutor.
Park Dae-yeong?
Oh, right. The guy who dirtied my name.
I'm not sure if you'll believe me.
I used to be a civil servant who got paid
through taxpayers' money.
When my younger sibling caused trouble,
I used up all of my savings
to take care of it.
And my wife left, too.
And my only daughter got
into a car accident at the age of nine...
and hurt her back.
She can't even drink water
without my help.
Then, is your daughter
by herself at home?
Goodness. He's falling for that.
In Korea, it's impossible
to hold down a job...
and take care of my daughter.
That's why I stole it.
I know that I have committed
a grave crime.
I will cooperate with your investigation,
stand trial, and do everything
you ask of me.
Just...
please don't put me in jail.
My daughter, Ju-gyeong,
might die without me.
Ju-gyeong is probably waiting
for hotteok I was supposed to bring to her
and folding paper cranes right now.
She believes...
if she folds ten thousand paper cranes...
If she folds ten thousand paper cranes,
she thinks she can walk.
Isn't that correct?
Jeez.
Even after ten years,
your repertoire hasn't changed.
This is all a lie. Don't fall for it.
Issue an arrest warrant for this guy.
Sir, do you know this man?
I know him very well.
You bastard, ten years ago--
Chief, she's filming this.
Reporter Nam, cut this part out.
This man here committed the same crime
ten years ago.
So I issued an arrest warrant for him.
Just issue the warrant.
Is your daughter really alone at home?
Yes.
She's alone.
Mr. Jeong.
What are you doing? Don't be an amateur.
Can't you tell that he's lying to you?
Ten years ago,
he said he had a nine-year-old daughter.
So does his daughter never age?
Is she immortal?
I'm not just going to release him.
I just want to go to his house and check.
Goodness,
this would've taken five minutes.
Why are you trying to waste
two hours on this?
You're acting
just like an unqualified doctor.
The ER is full of patients
from a car crash, and they are all dying.
But you're like a doctor
who's spending hours
trying to put a Band-Aid
on a patient who skinned his leg.
Your office is full of unsolved cases
because you fall for obvious lies
from suspects
and keep investigating cases.
Stop talking back to me
and issue the arrest warrant.
Goodness. Unbelievable.
INTERROGATION AND OBSERVATION ROOM
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
Prosecutor Jeong doesn't get scolded
like this all the time.
How should I put it?
This rarely happens,
so don't be disappointed in him.
Mr. Choi.
Yes?
If someone fools you,
does it mean you should be scolded?
I don't think
believing someone is such a bad thing.
Running after that guy
is already making me hungry.
Do you want to order fried chicken?
Sir.
You know, don't you?
-Know what?
-You know...
that I can't tell colors apart.
Yes. I know.
Why didn't you say anything?
That's a reason for termination.
Did you lie about that?
No, it was a testing error.
That's all right, then.
Once you're in, that's it.
I just need to keep my mouth shut.
That's it.
But still...
Who caught the guy
who was running away today?
Was it me or you?
I know it's hard to believe,
but my stomach right here...
should be considered a reason
for termination, not your eyes.
How could I call myself a cop
when I run so slowly?
That's it.
Today, I won't eat fried chicken.
Let's go in.
Salute.
EUNJI'S HONEY HOTTEOK
-Ma'am.
-Yes?
Give me 2,000 won's worth of hotteok.
Okay, sure.
Is anyone inside?
Hey, kid. Are you home?
How can I help you?
Hello. Do you know the man who lives here?
The man who lives in the studio?
Of course.
-He always gets kimchi from me.
-Then, do you know about his daughter?
His daughter?
I think you might have the wrong house.
He lives alone.
I really thought he was telling me
the truth. This is weird.
Why did he lie to me?
Damn it. The chief is going to crush me.
This is driving me crazy.
What? How did you know I was here?
-You dreamed about me, didn't you?
-No. I don't need to dream this.
I can read you like a book now.
I just had a feeling you would be here.
Do you want some?
-No, I don't want to.
-It's so sweet.
I don't have an appetite.
He doesn't have a daughter, right?
He lied, didn't he?
Yes.
I was pathetic today, wasn't I?
I fell for the suspect's lie
and got an earful from the chief.
Please edit my part out.
It's a disgrace to my department.
I asked the hotteok seller.
He did have a daughter...
ten years ago.
A nine-year-old daughter who hurt
her back in a car accident.
He couldn't look after his daughter
while working as a mailman.
So he quit his job
and started to steal cellphones.
And he got arrested.
His daughter was all alone
when she was rescued,
but she passed away
while he was in prison.
Ever since then, he's been alone.
If he met a prosecutor like you
and not your chief prosecutor
ten years ago,
his daughter would have been alive.
And as for this, don't worry about it.
I'll edit all of your parts
and watch it by myself.
If this airs on TV,
every woman in Korea will have
a crush on you and chase you,
and I can't stand that.
My gosh, it is really sweet.
Give me one.
What? Okay.
Here.
-You're wearing the ring.
-What?
You saw that just now?
You're not sharp at all.
Thank you.
It doesn't matter
if the beer only costs 2,500 won.
If you're a repeat offender,
they won't be lenient.
You'll have to face
short-term imprisonment.
-That's true.
-What are you talking about?
-I swear. You'll have to.
-Mr. Park Dae-yeong.
Who is that guy?
Sir, what's going to happen to me?
Will I be able to go to my daughter?
No, I already issued your arrest warrant.
I'll question you
before your arrest today.
This is a bust.
I thought you'd be different.
I guess you're not.
I went to your house last night.
My house?
Your daughter wasn't at home.
Is that why you issued the arrest warrant?
Because what I did was reprehensible?
I heard what happened to your daughter
ten years ago.
We should have taken care of her
when you were arrested,
but we failed to do that.
I know that it's pointless to apologize
on their behalf now.
But let me give you my apologies.
Hey, Mr. Prosecutor.
I told the story about my daughter...
and cried in front of six prosecutors.
But you were the only one
who actually went to my house.
You know what? I should give you...
a reward.
What's this?
I don't know what it is,
but something really important
is in there.
What's that?
How would I know that?
You need to figure it out now.
These photos were
in a ten-million-won cellphone?
Yes. The owner of the phone was willing
to pay ten million won to get it back.
I'm sure there has to be information
that's worth more than ten million won.
He deceived you,
and you fell for it again.
You always fall for people's lies.
Every day is April Fool's for you.
Who knows?
If I do find something, I'll be able
to propose an investigation, right?
Do you think you can start investigating
because you propose it?
The process is really complicated.
Don't try to put more stuff
on your plate than you need.
You should try to close the cases
you have now.
What is this?
I only see photos of puppies and food.
What am I supposed to find in here?
Could it be a trade secret?
It could be an industrial spy.
Hey, you can't film this.
-You can't. No, you can't.
-You're not investigating yet. Let me see.
You can't film this. No. Film Hyang-mi.
Hyang-mi looks pretty today.
Aren't you here to film
Prosecutor Sin Hui-min?
What are you doing here?
Get a close-up.
-Zoom in.
-Don't film me.
Hyang-mi. Look.
What is it, Mr. Choi?
These are photos of patients.
Is the owner of the phone a doctor?
What? Do you recognize anyone?
These are victims.
Victims? Victims of what?
The IV drip serial murder case.
What?
What?
Don't worry.
How can they find a cellphone
that fell in the Han River?
Don't worry about the police.
I told them that I didn't know you.
Yes, it's fine.
Wait, why were the photos
of the victims on the phone?
Did the phone belong to Myeong I-seok?
It can't be. It's been over a year
since he went to prison.
How many photos of victims are there?
There are 19.
Were there 19 victims
in the serial murder case?
No, there were only 11.
Then, what about the other eight victims?
I'm getting scared. The other
eight victims must be alive, right?
What is this?
Does it mean Myeong I-seok
had an accomplice?
Or was the real culprit someone else?
We need to meet
with the owner of the cellphone first.
Don't sweat it.
Why would they look for me?
Well, there's no reason to look for me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Why would they--
What? You were here?
Why would you check
what was inside a stolen cellphone?
You should try to close unsolved cases
instead of wasting your time on this.
It's not a waste of time.
The reward for the phone
was ten million won.
There were photos of victims
of serial murder
-on the phone.
-Wait.
One person took all of those photos
before the victims died.
That person could be an accomplice
or the real culprit.
Didn't the thief from yesterday
give you the data on the stolen phone?
Don't you know that he's a habitual liar?
Ten years ago--
Ten years ago,
that guy's daughter really died.
I checked.
He said that his daughter was sick,
but the prosecutor thought
he was lying and didn't even check.
No matter how much he begged,
they didn't let him go.
So that's what happened.
That's not the prosecutor I want to be.
But it could've been fabricated.
If a prosecutor and NFS get their story
straight and make some fake documents,
it's easy to make a suspect innocent.
Is such a thing even possible?
Of course, if a prosecutor's willing.
Mr. Choi.
What brings you here?
You should've called.
It's about Myeong I-seok's case.
Did you fabricate the evidence?
-Pardon?
-Did you fabricate the evidence?
Answer me!
You were on the case with me.
Du-hyeon.
What? You called me. Talk.
What do you want? What?
You look great in that.
Aren't you close with
Detective Go at Hangang Police Station?
Yes, what is it?
A while ago, when he caught
the repeat offender of cellphone theft,
they caught the buyer, too
because they thought he was a fence.
Honey, I'll be better.
Can I get his address?
Well, it won't be hard to get his address.
I love you, honey.
I want to confirm something for someone.
Confirm? Confirm what?
I want to confirm that he wasn't fooled.
Where are you going?
We have a department dinner today.
I can't attend tonight's dinner.
I must look into something.
Why are you investigating
after your work hours?
Because the chief didn't give
his permission to investigate this case.
So I should dig into the case
after my work hours.
I'm going to do some digging.
Is this the place?
I guess he lives in a shipping container.
-Jae-chan.
-Hong-ju.
What brings you here?
I came here to find the cellphone owner.
You too?
Yes.
-But that will be difficult.
-Why?
The guy who knew the owner
is already dead.
It won't open.
What's that?
Gasoline.
Come here.
Have you ever felt like that?
As if you experienced
coming back from the dead?
I have.
Really? When was that?
It was when I was very young.
I fell into water once.
I don't resent you.
I'm glad...
that you lived.
Because of that feeling I had,
I was really grateful to you.
I thought, "I really almost died.
I really want to return the favor
to him because he saved me."
Because of that thought I had,
I started to have those dreams.
The dreams that showed me
the future of the man who saved me.
Are you all right?
Prosecutor Jeong.
Reporter Nam.
Are you okay?
Do you recognize me?
Mr. Choi.
What a relief. This is good.
What a relief.
I'm glad that you're both alive.
Sir, let us investigate this case.
Why can't you answer me?
I just fabricated my report cards.
Yu-beom told me that you'd raise his rate
if my grades went up.
And I got half of the raise.
Come on. You punk.
Why did you fabricate the report cards?
Your father bragged a lot
when your grades went up.
Subtitle translation by Won-hyang Son
I was even grateful
for all the decisions
that led up to this moment.
All the decisions that seemed foolish
were wise in the end.
And even the decisions I regretted...
were right in the end.
Just like that,
everything made my heart flutter
and was beautiful.
And I was relieved...
about everything.
But there was just one thing.
Do you think he's doing well?
What?
Remember the guy at the reservoir?
The police officer
was trying to end his life there.
I remember him from time to time.
And I worry about him, too.
Don't worry about him. He's doing well.
Really? How do you know that?
Where does he live?
That man sent us money again.
I don't know where he lives
or what his name is.
But I know for sure that he's alive.
So you don't need to worry about him.
That's a relief. That's all I need
to know. I just need to know he's alive.
"What though life conspire to cheat you,
do not sorrow or complain.
Hearts live in the coming day.
There's an end to passing sorrow.
Suddenly all flies away,
and delight...
returns tomorrow."
13 YEARS AGO
Gosh, what a nice poem.
Jesus Christ! You startled me.
Sir, I'm hungry.
I want to eat.
Okay. I'll get you some food right now.
You're not going
to try anything stupid, right?
I won't go anywhere.
And I won't do anything stupid.
My life...
doesn't end now.
I need to meet someone...
in the distant future.
Will we be able to recognize him
if we meet again?
We didn't even recognize each other.
Won't it be the same with him?
Right.
We might not have recognized him
even when we've already met.
Why? Do you want to meet him?
Yes. What about you?
Me too.
But do you think he would want to meet us?
I'm not sure.
When we met him in the future,
he told us...
that he thought
about meeting us more often...
and more desperately...
than we thought about meeting him.
But we couldn't recognize him
for a long time...
when he came to meet us
after waiting for a very long time.
And small incidents...
that were scattered
around like small waves...
came together one at a time
and approached us slowly,
while creating a big wave...
which...
paved the way to him.
You're not having a funeral?
No one would come anyway.
What are you wearing?
I didn't have any black outfits,
so I just wore my brother's suit.
My brother has long arms and legs
for no good reason.
Right. He did have long arms and legs
for no good reason.
Have you seen my brother?
I went to your brother's trial.
Really?
Yes.
He crushed the defense counsel,
saying that justice is a river or whatnot.
It felt good to watch.
And I was grateful, too.
Grateful? Why are you grateful?
The defense counsel...
was the one responsible
for my dad's death.
Who was it?
Prosecutor Lee Yu-beom.
No.
Now, he's a lawyer.
Do you get more money
if you check it again?
-Hello.
-Lawyer Lee.
Today is my payday,
but why do I have such a low balance?
It feels like it takes ages to get paid,
but when they take money from us,
they are fast.
Right.
Why don't you two work at my law firm?
I'll make you feel like
you're getting paid at lightning speed.
Really?
I'll try to match the annual salary
you tell me.
And I'll guarantee your job
until retirement
and you'll get off work on time, too.
I'm in. I'd love to.
What about you, Mr. Choi?
Well, I told you my answer that day.
I don't want to.
I want to! I totally want to!
On one condition, Hyang-mi.
Convince Mr. Choi to work
at my law firm with us.
I'll wait for you, Mr. Choi.
What kind of condition is that?
Am I a bonus?
A freebie? Buy one, get one free?
Hyang-mi.
Keep Lawyer Lee's offer a secret
from Prosecutor Jeong.
Don't tell anyone.
I'm so disappointed.
Do you think I have a big mouth?
Don't you know me?
Yu-beom is trying to poach Mr. Choi?
Yes. He said he'd match
whatever annual salary Mr. Choi wants.
He was trying to convince Mr. Choi.
He was determined.
My gosh,
Mr. Choi works with a sense of duty.
Money won't convince him to move.
Of course it can. It's very possible.
His job is secured until he retires.
And he'll get a separate office,
facing south.
And he'll get a corporate credit card.
If he's in his right mind,
he'd quit right away.
But I bet Mr. Choi likes working with me
more than working with Yu-beom.
He doesn't like working with you.
You're frustrating and slow.
You're like a groundhog
who always digs into cases.
And you make him work overtime
and go to the crime scenes.
I feel so bad for Mr. Choi
that it makes me tear up.
So what do you want me to do?
Why are you telling me that?
Appreciate him while you have him.
You should butter him up and put on
some cute acts here and there.
And give him some presents, too.
Forget it. If I need to do those things
to make him work here against his will,
I will not work with him.
See you inside.
It didn't work.
Damn it.
Gosh, why is this box empty?
Thank you.
I heard everything from Hyang-mi.
Yu-beom offered you a job.
Hyang-mi, you already told him?
How could you bring that up right away?
I think working for him is the right
thing to do if the conditions are better.
I see.
Hold on.
What?
My gosh, no. I'll do it.
-I will do it.
-Don't move.
I don't want to hold you here
against your will.
I can't lie to you
and make a promise that I'll do better...
when I can't keep it.
The decision is completely up to you.
Even if you choose to leave,
I won't resent you.
What?
Make a V.
Don't mind me or feel bad for me.
Take your time and make your decision.
Okay.
WITH MY MENTOR
PROSECUTOR JEONG JAE-CHAN
Let's come up with a novel idea
for the Three-Day Experience.
Don't suggest easy themes like sea-fishing
or picking grapes at the farm.
Suggest some novel ideas.
How about the experience
of a pregnant woman who's due soon?
In fact, this costume
was designed to make you feel
just like how a pregnant woman feels
at eight months.
With this costume on, for three days, we
can change our shoes and take the subway
to experience
what it's like to be a pregnant woman.
We can point out the ways we can be
considerate for pregnant women.
Okay. Let's keep it. Any other ideas?
How about three days
at the prosecutors' office?
We don't have a lot of chances
to observe the daily lives of prosecutors.
That's a good idea, but we can't.
No prosecutors will agree to this.
They won't let us film because
the investigations are confidential,
they need to protect the suspects' rights
and whatnot.
No, I can get them to agree.
The chief prosecutor at
Hangang District Office is press-friendly.
I met him on a golf course a few days ago
and explained to him about my idea.
And I got a positive response from him.
You should have started with that.
Let's keep this, too.
Du-hyeon, isn't it more meaningful
for a man to go three days
as a pregnant woman
than for a woman to do so?
Right. Men who can't relate to
being pregnant need to wear the costume
to make the segment meaningful.
Okay. Hong-ju will observe prosecutors
at their office for three days.
And Du-hyeon will experience pregnancy
for three days.
Okay. What?
Why me?
We have a lot of newbies here for that.
You just said so yourself.
It's meaningful if a guy does it.
Since you understand
the concept the most, you should do it.
Captain.
You look great, sir.
Sir, you're my role model.
What a bummer.
You'll steal Reporter of the Year
from me again this year.
Oh, no. I think I'm going to have
a lot of work at the prosecutors' office.
Hey! The prosecutors' office...
Being pregnant is a million times harder!
I knew it. Du-hyeon understands
the hardships of pregnant women the best.
I'll really look forward to your segment.
Give him a round of applause!
You can do it!
-You have my respect.
-You're all mad.
-You look good.
-Win that award!
Damn it.
INVESTIGATOR CHOI DAM-DONG
Mr. Choi, can't you not work for Yu-beom?
That's a double negative.
It sounds confusing.
Don't leave.
Does that sound too rude?
Don't go. Will you go?
Don't go. Don't go...
Jae-chan.
What is it?
Don't go to Yu-beom.
Damn it. This is bad!
I sent the text message.
What is it?
I sounded so rude
and demanding to Mr. Choi.
What should I do? Damn it.
What did he say?
I won't go.
Hey, he's not going!
He's not going! He won't go!
I love you, Mr. Choi.
What? What is it?
What did Dae-gu see in you
to give you this?
What is this?
I have a friend named Myeong Dae-gu.
He asked me to give this to you.
Myeong Dae-gu?
This looks like a suicide note.
Yes. The serial murderer
who killed people with IV drips
committed suicide in prison a while ago.
It's his suicide note.
How do you have this?
That guy is Dae-gu's father.
Dae-gu wanted you to take a look at this.
Me? Why?
He said that his father might have died
when he was innocent.
He wants you to help him clear his name.
Hey, everyone who goes to prison
says that they are innocent.
They all say they are wronged.
But still, just read it.
When I read it,
something didn't feel right.
And even more so...
because Yu-beom
was the prosecutor in charge.
With this case, Yu-beom even won an award
from the Prosecutor General.
I USED TO BE A DOCTOR
WHO SAVED PATIENTS' LIVES
BUT I'VE NOW BECOME A MURDERER
WHO KILLED THOSE PATIENTS.
I HOPE MY SON WILL UNDERSTAND MY DECISION
AND FORGIVE ME. I AM INNOCENT.
At the Yeonju Prosecutors' Office,
I received a commendation
from the Prosecutor General
with the restaurant case
and the serial murder case.
All I did was just follow through
on what Mr. Choi set up for me,
but I even got a commendation for it.
Gosh, you're too kind.
Should we go in now?
Later.
We'll get them
when he makes contact with the fence.
POWER OFF
PLEASE RETURN MY CELLPHONE.
I'LL GIVE YOU A BIG REWARD.
REWARD IS FIVE MILLION WON.
I WILL NEVER REPORT YOU TO THE POLICE.
I'LL GIVE YOU TEN MILLION WON.
MEET ME TOMORROW AT 1 P.M.
UNDER CHEONGIL UNDERPASS.
Ten million won?
What's in this phone? Why would
someone pay ten million won for it?
There you go.
Jae-chan.
You think that police officer
might have dreams about our future?
Yes. U-tak and I talked about
how these dreams all started a while ago.
According to the rule,
the police officer should dream about us.
Rule? What rule?
The rule is that you dream
about the person
who saved you from death.
I usually dream about Jae-chan.
And Jae-chan usually dreams about Hong-ju.
Is that so?
When I first heard about it,
I thought it made no sense
because I had no idea
that you were Chestnut.
But it all makes sense
because you're Chestnut.
You saved me from the reservoir
13 years ago.
And I saved U-tak from the car accident.
That does make sense.
But why do we have dreams?
When I almost died in the car accident,
this crossed my mind.
"I really almost died.
I want to repay the person who saved me."
Because of that thought,
my dreams started.
The dreams that show
the future of the person that saved me.
What do you think? Doesn't it make sense?
It does.
ON THE MATTRESS...
Since we saved the police officer
from the reservoir,
according to the rule,
he could also see our future in his dream?
JEONG JAE-CHAN AND NAM HONG-JU DIE!
-Right.
-Then, he must know both of your faces
and where you live.
Well...
probably.
No. I thought about it,
but it makes no sense.
He would have come to see us
if that rule was true.
You think he'd want to see you?
It's not like you met at a happy occasion.
It will only hurt each other's feelings
if you meet.
Is that so?
What is it?
What? It's nothing.
Right. I'll be going to your department
to do my news coverage starting today.
-For three days.
-Why?
You're coming to our department?
For three days?
Oh, that? Is it for
the Three-Day Experience?
That segment is fun.
Then, you'll be seeing
Prosecutor Jeong at his office?
Hey, you!
The fault is with you!
Are you a secret inspector or something?
-Oh, no!
-Gosh.
Gosh. Are you okay?
You did that on purpose!
He's the groundhog
of Criminal Department Three.
I almost forgot.
This is why no one is welcoming him back.
Damn it.
I think I'll be glued to you
for three days.
To me?
The chief prosecutor selected
the most competent
and good-looking prosecutor
in your department as my source.
It is Jae-chan if it's the most competent
and good-looking prosecutor.
Would that be me?
Nice to meet you. My name is Sin Hui-min.
We've met before, right?
I'm Nam Hong-ju of SBC News.
I hope we can work well together.
Ms. Sin.
Please help Ms. Nam
to record the candid side
of the prosecution. Okay?
Yes, sir. Don't worry.
Follow me.
Have a good day.
Goodness.
All right.
She's close to Rookie.
You should've assigned Rookie to her.
-Why did you choose her?
-I know.
I guess you only say
that you cherish Mr. Jeong.
Mr. Jeong, isn't this disappointing?
No, I'm okay.
Gosh, you guys are so clueless.
I didn't assign her to him
because I cherish him.
They are crazy about each other right now.
Imagine that she observes him
for three days.
Her romantic fantasy about him will be
shattered and she'll be disappointed.
Why would that happen?
What's so bad about Mr. Jeong?
Which one of us has
the most unsolved cases in our department?
Mr. Jeong.
Which one of us has
the most typos in our reports?
Mr. Jeong.
And which one of us takes a month
to submit his report
on a simple theft case
when others take a week to finish?
Mr. Jeong.
Then,
will her fantasy be shattered or not?
It will be shattered.
Should you be grateful to me or not?
-Thank you.
-My gosh.
Mr. Jeong, let's do better. Okay?
Okay.
PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE:
PROSECUTOR SIN HUI-MIN
You scammed cancer patients by telling
them that the bellflower root powder
is a cure for every disease, correct?
"Bellflower root"?
I don't speak good Korean.
I'm a very good person.
I'm a good person.
I mean, ma'am,
I swear, I really sold it
out of the goodness of my heart.
I swear. Okay?
That's no excuse
for a violation of the law.
I really didn't know
that it was against the law.
If I knew about it,
I'd be happy to face my punishment.
If you're happy to face it,
it's not a punishment.
It'd be candy.
You'll be punished, so you suffer.
Just accept it.
Cool.
You should be relieved
that Prosecutor Sin is a woman.
If she were a man,
Ms. Nam would have fallen for her.
Yes, probably.
Hey, keep your chin up.
I'll let you borrow my car
whenever you want.
-Really?
-Yes.
Thank you, sir. You're the best.
If you are really grateful, can you swap
the night duty shift with me?
Sure. Do you have plans tonight?
Yes.
With whom?
You know... Bye.
-Bye.
-Who?
You know.
We can go on a date today.
INTERROGATION AND OBSERVATION ROOM
Perfect timing.
-Come on in. Take a seat.
-Okay.
Thank you. Both of you.
-What?
-For what?
For staying with me
when I'm lacking in many areas.
What's gotten into him?
Mr. Choi.
I won't go. I won't leave.
I'll stay by your side.
And I'll retire here.
Stop bringing that up now.
If you continue, you'll give me goosebumps
and I'll become a goose.
It's not that.
Do you know a man named Myeong I-seok?
Myeong I-seok? I've heard of that guy.
He's the notorious IV Drip Serial Killer.
He committed suicide a while ago.
Yu-beom was the prosecutor on his case
at Yeonju District Prosecutors' Office.
-Did you investigate the case with him?
-Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
I came across
his suicide note and petitions.
When I read them, some parts bothered me.
It was a clean case.
When you listen to the criminals,
their stories sound convincing.
They feel wronged.
And, of course, we feel bad.
But if you fall for their tricks,
you'll be in serious trouble.
Okay.
Being punctual
is the key in direct dealing.
Wait, am I being scammed right now?
Did you bring the cellphone?
The money?
What's inside that phone? Why would
you pay ten million won for that?
What is this? Were you being tailed?
-Shit.
-Damn it.
-Hey!
-Go after the fence.
-Yes, sir.
-Damn it!
Hey! Stop right there!
Hey!
You know the gukbap restaurant nearby?
That restaurant was on Meal Perfectionist.
Do you want to check it out?
The light is green. They're fully charged.
-Sir.
-Yes?
By any chance...
Wait. Isn't that Detective Go?
Yes, it is.
Where is he going?
Hey!
Detective Go, what's going on?
-The gray shirt...
-The gray shirt?
He bought a stolen cellphone.
What?
Gray...
Gray...
Hey, U-tak.
It's the man in checkered pants.
I'm Lieutenant Han
of Sanggu Patrol Division. Please stop.
Hey, let go of me.
I'm a victim.
Why would a victim run away?
-I ran because you were chasing me.
-Let's talk at the station.
Let go of me!
Is it necessary for you to record
the prosecutor during the night duty?
You have two more days left.
I want to get off work, too.
But my captain told me
to record prosecutors for 24 hours.
What choice do I have?
I need to follow my orders.
What else can I do?
-Prosecutor Son.
-Hi.
Who's on the night duty today?
It was supposed to be Mr. Lee,
but he switched with Mr. Jeong.
Why did he switch...
with Rookie?
Hey, can you take over
the night duty today?
I have a prior engagement.
Then, what about Prosecutor Sin?
I heard that she also had plans.
Just trust him and let him handle it.
Mr. Jeong is working hard.
Of course, I know that.
That's all he's been doing day and night.
What? She'll record me
during my night duty?
Wait, no. It's... Okay.
I got it. Okay.
Damn it. This is bad.
Is someone coming to the office?
We're done questioning people for the day.
She's going to come and record me
during my night shift.
Hyang-mi, can you hide these case files
in Prosecutor Lee's office?
-Why?
-Gosh, it looks like
I have a lot of unsolved cases.
And it makes me look incompetent.
You should just be yourself. Be yourself.
If I do that,
I would humiliate the organization.
So he knows that.
I didn't wash this once.
Gosh, this is bad.
Mr. Choi, she won't be able
to record the smell, right?
Thanks for the candid snippet of your day,
Prosecutor Jeong.
I guess we're going to be on TV.
Goodness. Oh, Lord.
Why on earth did you meet Park Dae-yeong?
I told you already.
The person who lost the phone
begged me to find the phone.
So I went there on behalf of that person.
-Actually, I'm a victim in all of this.
-What about the ten million won?
I guess it was worth
that much money to that person.
You know? You know there are phones
with a lot of valuable memories and stuff.
Why did you throw away the phone
in the river if it was that valuable?
It wasn't even yours.
I didn't throw it away.
My hands slipped, so it fell.
There's definitely something on the phone.
Don't you think so?
Right. Something unbelievably suspicious
must be on the phone.
What could it be? We can't even find it
since he threw it in the river.
Damn it. This is so frustrating. You know?
Park Dae-yeong, why don't you talk
to the prosecutor via video call?
No, I don't want to do it via video call.
I'd like to meet the prosecutor in person.
I want to meet the prosecutor in person.
Chief, aren't you going home?
What? Don't mind me. Just pretend
I'm not here. Just keep working.
Keep filming him. Pretend I'm not here.
-Okay.
-I'll be outside.
-Good luck.
-Okay. Thanks.
What's the main task
of the prosecutor on night duty?
We mainly handle the requests
for arrest warrants from the police
and decide
whether to detain suspects or not.
Excuse me.
This is Jeong Jae-chan of Seoul
Hangang District Prosecutors' Office.
Yes, right now?
Goodness.
Oh, Lord.
Is someone coming here?
Yes, please come up. Yes.
Right. What's the name of the prosecutor?
I hope he's lenient.
-Goodness.
-No?
That's the office.
He habitually steals cellphones.
The police requested an arrest warrant
because there's a possibility
he might flee or destroy evidence.
Wait... Where have I seen him?
Usually, I question the suspect
via phone call or video call.
But he's coming here because he insisted
on talking to me in person.
After questioning him here,
you decide whether to issue
the warrant or not, correct?
-Correct.
-Sir.
-Okay.
-Sit there.
All right. You can sit right here.
You wanted to see me in person?
Yes.
ARREST WARRANT REQUEST
ON PARK DAE-YEONG FOR THEFT
You have the same name
as my chief prosecutor.
Park Dae-yeong?
Oh, right. The guy who dirtied my name.
I'm not sure if you'll believe me.
I used to be a civil servant who got paid
through taxpayers' money.
When my younger sibling caused trouble,
I used up all of my savings
to take care of it.
And my wife left, too.
And my only daughter got
into a car accident at the age of nine...
and hurt her back.
She can't even drink water
without my help.
Then, is your daughter
by herself at home?
Goodness. He's falling for that.
In Korea, it's impossible
to hold down a job...
and take care of my daughter.
That's why I stole it.
I know that I have committed
a grave crime.
I will cooperate with your investigation,
stand trial, and do everything
you ask of me.
Just...
please don't put me in jail.
My daughter, Ju-gyeong,
might die without me.
Ju-gyeong is probably waiting
for hotteok I was supposed to bring to her
and folding paper cranes right now.
She believes...
if she folds ten thousand paper cranes...
If she folds ten thousand paper cranes,
she thinks she can walk.
Isn't that correct?
Jeez.
Even after ten years,
your repertoire hasn't changed.
This is all a lie. Don't fall for it.
Issue an arrest warrant for this guy.
Sir, do you know this man?
I know him very well.
You bastard, ten years ago--
Chief, she's filming this.
Reporter Nam, cut this part out.
This man here committed the same crime
ten years ago.
So I issued an arrest warrant for him.
Just issue the warrant.
Is your daughter really alone at home?
Yes.
She's alone.
Mr. Jeong.
What are you doing? Don't be an amateur.
Can't you tell that he's lying to you?
Ten years ago,
he said he had a nine-year-old daughter.
So does his daughter never age?
Is she immortal?
I'm not just going to release him.
I just want to go to his house and check.
Goodness,
this would've taken five minutes.
Why are you trying to waste
two hours on this?
You're acting
just like an unqualified doctor.
The ER is full of patients
from a car crash, and they are all dying.
But you're like a doctor
who's spending hours
trying to put a Band-Aid
on a patient who skinned his leg.
Your office is full of unsolved cases
because you fall for obvious lies
from suspects
and keep investigating cases.
Stop talking back to me
and issue the arrest warrant.
Goodness. Unbelievable.
INTERROGATION AND OBSERVATION ROOM
Are you all right?
I'm okay.
Prosecutor Jeong doesn't get scolded
like this all the time.
How should I put it?
This rarely happens,
so don't be disappointed in him.
Mr. Choi.
Yes?
If someone fools you,
does it mean you should be scolded?
I don't think
believing someone is such a bad thing.
Running after that guy
is already making me hungry.
Do you want to order fried chicken?
Sir.
You know, don't you?
-Know what?
-You know...
that I can't tell colors apart.
Yes. I know.
Why didn't you say anything?
That's a reason for termination.
Did you lie about that?
No, it was a testing error.
That's all right, then.
Once you're in, that's it.
I just need to keep my mouth shut.
That's it.
But still...
Who caught the guy
who was running away today?
Was it me or you?
I know it's hard to believe,
but my stomach right here...
should be considered a reason
for termination, not your eyes.
How could I call myself a cop
when I run so slowly?
That's it.
Today, I won't eat fried chicken.
Let's go in.
Salute.
EUNJI'S HONEY HOTTEOK
-Ma'am.
-Yes?
Give me 2,000 won's worth of hotteok.
Okay, sure.
Is anyone inside?
Hey, kid. Are you home?
How can I help you?
Hello. Do you know the man who lives here?
The man who lives in the studio?
Of course.
-He always gets kimchi from me.
-Then, do you know about his daughter?
His daughter?
I think you might have the wrong house.
He lives alone.
I really thought he was telling me
the truth. This is weird.
Why did he lie to me?
Damn it. The chief is going to crush me.
This is driving me crazy.
What? How did you know I was here?
-You dreamed about me, didn't you?
-No. I don't need to dream this.
I can read you like a book now.
I just had a feeling you would be here.
Do you want some?
-No, I don't want to.
-It's so sweet.
I don't have an appetite.
He doesn't have a daughter, right?
He lied, didn't he?
Yes.
I was pathetic today, wasn't I?
I fell for the suspect's lie
and got an earful from the chief.
Please edit my part out.
It's a disgrace to my department.
I asked the hotteok seller.
He did have a daughter...
ten years ago.
A nine-year-old daughter who hurt
her back in a car accident.
He couldn't look after his daughter
while working as a mailman.
So he quit his job
and started to steal cellphones.
And he got arrested.
His daughter was all alone
when she was rescued,
but she passed away
while he was in prison.
Ever since then, he's been alone.
If he met a prosecutor like you
and not your chief prosecutor
ten years ago,
his daughter would have been alive.
And as for this, don't worry about it.
I'll edit all of your parts
and watch it by myself.
If this airs on TV,
every woman in Korea will have
a crush on you and chase you,
and I can't stand that.
My gosh, it is really sweet.
Give me one.
What? Okay.
Here.
-You're wearing the ring.
-What?
You saw that just now?
You're not sharp at all.
Thank you.
It doesn't matter
if the beer only costs 2,500 won.
If you're a repeat offender,
they won't be lenient.
You'll have to face
short-term imprisonment.
-That's true.
-What are you talking about?
-I swear. You'll have to.
-Mr. Park Dae-yeong.
Who is that guy?
Sir, what's going to happen to me?
Will I be able to go to my daughter?
No, I already issued your arrest warrant.
I'll question you
before your arrest today.
This is a bust.
I thought you'd be different.
I guess you're not.
I went to your house last night.
My house?
Your daughter wasn't at home.
Is that why you issued the arrest warrant?
Because what I did was reprehensible?
I heard what happened to your daughter
ten years ago.
We should have taken care of her
when you were arrested,
but we failed to do that.
I know that it's pointless to apologize
on their behalf now.
But let me give you my apologies.
Hey, Mr. Prosecutor.
I told the story about my daughter...
and cried in front of six prosecutors.
But you were the only one
who actually went to my house.
You know what? I should give you...
a reward.
What's this?
I don't know what it is,
but something really important
is in there.
What's that?
How would I know that?
You need to figure it out now.
These photos were
in a ten-million-won cellphone?
Yes. The owner of the phone was willing
to pay ten million won to get it back.
I'm sure there has to be information
that's worth more than ten million won.
He deceived you,
and you fell for it again.
You always fall for people's lies.
Every day is April Fool's for you.
Who knows?
If I do find something, I'll be able
to propose an investigation, right?
Do you think you can start investigating
because you propose it?
The process is really complicated.
Don't try to put more stuff
on your plate than you need.
You should try to close the cases
you have now.
What is this?
I only see photos of puppies and food.
What am I supposed to find in here?
Could it be a trade secret?
It could be an industrial spy.
Hey, you can't film this.
-You can't. No, you can't.
-You're not investigating yet. Let me see.
You can't film this. No. Film Hyang-mi.
Hyang-mi looks pretty today.
Aren't you here to film
Prosecutor Sin Hui-min?
What are you doing here?
Get a close-up.
-Zoom in.
-Don't film me.
Hyang-mi. Look.
What is it, Mr. Choi?
These are photos of patients.
Is the owner of the phone a doctor?
What? Do you recognize anyone?
These are victims.
Victims? Victims of what?
The IV drip serial murder case.
What?
What?
Don't worry.
How can they find a cellphone
that fell in the Han River?
Don't worry about the police.
I told them that I didn't know you.
Yes, it's fine.
Wait, why were the photos
of the victims on the phone?
Did the phone belong to Myeong I-seok?
It can't be. It's been over a year
since he went to prison.
How many photos of victims are there?
There are 19.
Were there 19 victims
in the serial murder case?
No, there were only 11.
Then, what about the other eight victims?
I'm getting scared. The other
eight victims must be alive, right?
What is this?
Does it mean Myeong I-seok
had an accomplice?
Or was the real culprit someone else?
We need to meet
with the owner of the cellphone first.
Don't sweat it.
Why would they look for me?
Well, there's no reason to look for me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
Why would they--
What? You were here?
Why would you check
what was inside a stolen cellphone?
You should try to close unsolved cases
instead of wasting your time on this.
It's not a waste of time.
The reward for the phone
was ten million won.
There were photos of victims
of serial murder
-on the phone.
-Wait.
One person took all of those photos
before the victims died.
That person could be an accomplice
or the real culprit.
Didn't the thief from yesterday
give you the data on the stolen phone?
Don't you know that he's a habitual liar?
Ten years ago--
Ten years ago,
that guy's daughter really died.
I checked.
He said that his daughter was sick,
but the prosecutor thought
he was lying and didn't even check.
No matter how much he begged,
they didn't let him go.
So that's what happened.
That's not the prosecutor I want to be.
But it could've been fabricated.
If a prosecutor and NFS get their story
straight and make some fake documents,
it's easy to make a suspect innocent.
Is such a thing even possible?
Of course, if a prosecutor's willing.
Mr. Choi.
What brings you here?
You should've called.
It's about Myeong I-seok's case.
Did you fabricate the evidence?
-Pardon?
-Did you fabricate the evidence?
Answer me!
You were on the case with me.
Du-hyeon.
What? You called me. Talk.
What do you want? What?
You look great in that.
Aren't you close with
Detective Go at Hangang Police Station?
Yes, what is it?
A while ago, when he caught
the repeat offender of cellphone theft,
they caught the buyer, too
because they thought he was a fence.
Honey, I'll be better.
Can I get his address?
Well, it won't be hard to get his address.
I love you, honey.
I want to confirm something for someone.
Confirm? Confirm what?
I want to confirm that he wasn't fooled.
Where are you going?
We have a department dinner today.
I can't attend tonight's dinner.
I must look into something.
Why are you investigating
after your work hours?
Because the chief didn't give
his permission to investigate this case.
So I should dig into the case
after my work hours.
I'm going to do some digging.
Is this the place?
I guess he lives in a shipping container.
-Jae-chan.
-Hong-ju.
What brings you here?
I came here to find the cellphone owner.
You too?
Yes.
-But that will be difficult.
-Why?
The guy who knew the owner
is already dead.
It won't open.
What's that?
Gasoline.
Come here.
Have you ever felt like that?
As if you experienced
coming back from the dead?
I have.
Really? When was that?
It was when I was very young.
I fell into water once.
I don't resent you.
I'm glad...
that you lived.
Because of that feeling I had,
I was really grateful to you.
I thought, "I really almost died.
I really want to return the favor
to him because he saved me."
Because of that thought I had,
I started to have those dreams.
The dreams that showed me
the future of the man who saved me.
Are you all right?
Prosecutor Jeong.
Reporter Nam.
Are you okay?
Do you recognize me?
Mr. Choi.
What a relief. This is good.
What a relief.
I'm glad that you're both alive.
Sir, let us investigate this case.
Why can't you answer me?
I just fabricated my report cards.
Yu-beom told me that you'd raise his rate
if my grades went up.
And I got half of the raise.
Come on. You punk.
Why did you fabricate the report cards?
Your father bragged a lot
when your grades went up.
