(Previously on Confession)
Doesn't this victim remind you of a past case?
It's so similar to the case from five years ago.
What do you do, really?
Your mother's name is Yoon Yi–geum, right?
Where is she now?
How could there be no traces?
Judging from these photos,
it's hard to conclude they were done by the same person.
You were the culprit behind the Yang Ae–ran case five years ago.
It was a soda bottle, not a soju bottle.
Han Jong–gu can't know this if he's not the killer.
Sir, I really didn't do it this time.
I know. As for the Kim Sun–hee murder case,
Han Jong–gu isn't the killer.
I have evidence to prove it.
He may be released if I testify for him.
Then what can I do?
Find a way to make him pay for the murder of five years ago.
There is a way.
I must admit to committing the other murder to get acquitted?
That's your choice.
I'd like to question the defendant.
[Note: Subtitles released every Monday & Tuesday, a day after broadcast on K-Plus Asia.]
(The third day of Kim Sun–hee Murder Case Trial)
Defendant.
Five years ago,
did you kill Yang Ae–ran...
...at a demolition site in Eunseo–gu?
I'll ask again.
Defendant. Five years ago,
did you kill Yang Ae–ran?
Objection, Your Honor.
The fact that he was the prime suspect in the Yang Ae–ran case five years back...
...must've been one of the biggest reasons why he's in this courtroom now.
However, there is evidence that shows he cannot be...
...the culprit behind this case if he killed Yang Ae–ran.
I'd like to prove it...
...through his confession.
Order.
Order!
Defendant, don't make any statements yet.
We'll have to take a quick recess and discuss this first.
The court will recess for 30 minutes.
You two, spare me a moment.
(Episode 3)
Mr. Choi, what do you think you're doing?
Didn't you defend him...
...and get him acquitted five years ago?
That's correct. However, I was taught...
...that any credible argument can be made for defendants.
You want someone you got acquitted to change his words now?
How did you even come up with this absurd idea?
Your Honor, Mr. Choi is disgracing––
Both of you, listen to me carefully.
If the defendant was indeed the culprit behind the other case,
and if you're trying to use the double jeopardy clause...
No.
If you're trying to take advantage of it to get him out,
the controversy it'll cause will be greater than anything we can imagine.
First off,
it'll be the first case of its kind since the Constitution was promulgated.
And no one knows what kinds of consequences...
...it may bring.
I do understand...
...what your concerns are.
However, I'm his attorney.
No matter what the situation is, I must always support him...
...to make sure he doesn't feel wronged.
Even if this leads to...
...something that I can't imagine now,
–I have no choice. –What a lunatic.
Get out, both of you.
What the heck is this about?
Do you only care about winning?
To you, trials are nothing but a game.
A game where you do whatever it takes to win!
You're wrong.
Han Jong–gu did not...
...kill Kim Sun–hee.
So you're saying...
...he did kill one of them, Yang Ae–ran or Kim Sun–hee.
Listen up.
You're simply using the law to achieve your goal.
You piece of trash.
Please be seated.
Defendant.
If you think that this may help you...
...you may answer the question.
Your Honor, regarding the case from five years ago,
please announce once again that the defendant will not be punished...
...even if he admits to the murder.
According to the double jeopardy clause...
...he won't be punished even if he admits to...
...committing the murder now since he was found...
...not guilty of the crime.
However, Defendant.
I'd also like to remind you that you don't have to...
...make a statement that may jeopardize your situation.
Defendant.
Five years ago...
...did you kill Yang Ae–ran at a demolition site in Eunseo–gu...
...and damage her body?
I'm trying to prove that you're not the culprit behind this case.
To do that...
...I need your truthful statement regarding the other case.
Defendant.
Did you...
...kill Yang Ae–ran?
I...
I killed her.
Please say it again louder so that everyone can hear it.
Yes!
I killed her.
You just made a new statement.
So I'll ask you another question.
Sure, whatever.
I shall tell the truth about everything.
Five years ago...
...why did you kill Yang Ae–ran?
Well...
I didn't intend to kill her.
(Five years ago)
That woman gave me a snide look as she walked by me.
I just wanted to take some money from her, but she ended up dying.
A brilliant idea hit me right at that moment.
"Chase, Cold Cases."
–Gosh, that's horrible. –The Changhyun–dong murder case.
The killer damaged the victim's body with a broken bottle...
...and burned her clothes as well as all her belongings...
...in order to destroy evidence...
...which shows how cruel and thorough the killer is.
The Changhyun–dong murder was all over the news that day.
The police had failed to catch the killer, you know.
So I thought I should stage the scene to make it look like he did it.
I undressed her.
Then I stabbed her all over with a broken bottle.
Did I stab her 10 times?
After stabbing her a little, my arm got tired.
After that...
I gathered everything in one place and...
Fire!
Gosh, it looked like I had managed to fool the police.
I thought they were so dumb.
That's why I called the police,
and I ended up getting caught, but...
After that... You know the rest of the story.
Your Honor, I'm sure you know the rest of the story as well.
Defendant.
You said that you killed Yang Ae–ran...
...and copied the Changhyun–dong murder.
Then why did you damage the victim's lips and fingernails?
The Changhyun–dong killer didn't do that.
What are you talking about? I copied that murder to a tee!
Your Honor.
–I'd like to call in a new witness. –Objection, Your Honor.
Questioning the defendant was the last thing he said he'd do.
I cannot accept this request.
Since the defendant confessed his past killing...
...I'd like to prove that it's different from this case...
...through an expert opinion.
"When in doubt...
...give the defendant the benefit of the doubt."
As you all know, it's the courtroom's golden rule.
The court accepts the defense attorney's request.
Please carefully study the photos...
...and tell us the differences you can point out...
...between A and B as a criminal psychologist.
Sure.
The photos on the left labeled as "A"...
...tell me that the murder was committed by someone who is obsessed with red.
It's obvious that the killer was obsessed with her lips and fingernails...
...which were red.
But as for the photos labeled as "B"...
...we don't see that at all.
If both killings were done by the same person...
...what would be the order?
If we say they were done by the same person...
...it's highly likely that "B" on the right...
...took place first.
–Why would you say that? –In cases of serial murders...
...the killers...
...generally seek stronger stimulation as their killings progress.
The fingernails and lips in the "B" photos show us...
...that the victim was not as brutally damaged...
...as the "A" victim was.
Hence, I'd say...
...the "A" murder took place after the "B" murder.
Then if "B" took place recently...
...could we say they likely weren't committed by the same person?
Correct, the likelihood is slim.
I see, thank you.
Your Honor.
I'd like to question the former captain...
...of Eunseo Police Station's Violent Crimes Unit, Mr. Ki Choon–ho.
Witness, were you the detective in charge...
...of the Yang Ae–ran case five years ago?
Yes, I was.
Tell us about the case, in your own perspective.
(Witness)
Five years ago...
...I arrested Han Jong–gu over there...
...as the prime suspect in the murder of Yang Ae–ran.
He ended up getting acquitted...
...but I was certain that he killed her...
...and I had reasons to believe so.
About those "reasons"...
...could you tell us what they were?
There were things that only the killer would know...
...but he knew all about them, and on top of that...
...he intentionally let them out to me...
...as if he was boasting.
There were other tools you could've used at the scene.
Why the soju bottle?
It was a soda bottle, not a soju bottle.
He gave me detailed and accurate information...
...in regard to the murder weapon.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the report...
...so he couldn't have known about it if he hadn't been the killer.
So that's why you're convinced...
...that the defendant killed Yang Ae–ran five years ago.
Correct. I'm sure of it.
But as for this case, the murder of Kim Sun–hee...
...you have stated to me that you strongly believe...
...the defendant didn't do it, unlike what you're saying...
...about the case from five years ago.
–Do you admit it? –Yes, it is true.
Han Jong–gu...
...did not kill...
–...Kim Sun–hee. –What?
What is your reason for believing...
...that Han Jong–gu didn't kill her?
I was...
...with him at the time.
I tailed him...
...from the time when he was released...
...from the Gwang–ha Correctional Facility on February 6...
...to the moment he got arrested.
Five years ago...
...he was all arrogant and full of himself after getting acquitted.
You can't leave like this. Hey, wait!
He was put behind bars again shortly after that...
...for robbery.
But I was convinced that he'd commit...
...another crime when he got out.
So, you were tailing him even on the day...
–...when Kim Sun–hee's body was found? –That's correct.
If he had killed Kim Sun–hee...
...I would've definitely witnessed it.
Please look at the screen.
This pair of sneakers was what made the prosecution...
...pin the defendant as the prime suspect.
Have you seen these sneakers?
No, never.
From the moment he was released...
...to the time of his arrest...
...he was wearing a pair of black shoes.
The prosecution submitted this as their evidence.
The prosecution only has a statement from a witness...
...saying the defendant purchased the sneakers.
There's no solid evidence that proves he actually bought the sneakers.
And most importantly...
...this is a fingerprint analysis report...
...of the sneakers that were found in the defendant's residence.
His fingerprints were not found...
...anywhere on the sneakers.
In other words, the fact that the victim's blood was found on them...
...can't be used to prove that the sneakers...
...belong to the defendant.
I rest my case.
Prosecution may question the witness.
Witness.
Why did you tail the defendant?
Let's call it a sense of responsibility as the detective...
...who was in charge of the Yang Ae–ran case.
Would you say you have a good memory?
I'd say it's average.
Then what did the defendant have for dinner the day he got out?
Well, that's...
–Gosh, what did he eat? –Witness.
You said you tailed and watched him every day after his release.
Nevertheless, you don't even remember...
...what he ate on the day he was released.
That's why...
...I wrote down everything.
February 6, the day he was released...
He had a late dinner that day.
At 8:40 p.m.,
he had sundaeguk and a bottle of soju...
...at a restaurant near Eunseo Market.
I jotted down everything in chronological order.
On the evening of the murder...
Here, 10:28 p.m. Around 10:30 p.m.,
he arrived at his motel.
(Baekwoon Motel)
I'll be happy to submit this as evidence if you need it.
No wonder I always felt like someone was watching me.
Your Honor, we'd like to submit his notebook...
...as evidence.
The judges will have a meeting and decide whether or not we'll accept it.
Prosecution, do you agree?
–Yes, Your Honor. –The verdict will be announced...
...in two weeks in this courtroom.
A murder suspect who had been acquitted on his murder charge...
...confessed in a courtroom that he, in fact, had committed the murder...
which is completely unprecedented.
Mr. Han Jong–gu, who is charged with the murder of Kim Sun–hee...
...was charged with another murder five years ago...
...but he was acquitted due to lack of evidence.
During his trial today...
...he confessed to committing the murder five years ago.
Experts are saying that he's not likely to be...
...prosecuted for the murder even if he has confessed to it...
...because he was found not guilty of the murder initially.
It's expected that this will raise heated controversy...
...surrounding the double jeopardy clause, as well as the initial verdict.
What a disaster.
(Prosecution Misjudged Kim Sun–hee Murder Case)
What do you think will happen?
We'll have to wait for the verdict.
The sentencing hearing will take place in just two weeks.
That's very fast.
Wouldn't it mean the presiding judge has already made a decision?
I think so too...
...but I can't predict what the verdict will be.
Defendant, you said that you killed Yang Ae–ran...
...and copied the Changhyun–dong murder.
Then why did you damage the victim's lips and fingernails?
The Changhyun–dong killer didn't do that.
What are you talking about? I copied that murder to a tee!
(Detective Seo Geun–pyo)
Hello, Captain.
When will the search warrant be issued?
Well, it's not easy.
I think it'll take a while.
–Just wait for now. –Okay.
I'm not surprised.
All right, then.
This is only a possibility...
...but there might have been more victims...
...before or after the incident.
The possibility of more victims.
(Die)
And Han Jong–gu's mother who disappeared.
The writings in red on the wall.
And the red fingernail.
Hello, Captain Ki. It's me, Choi Do–hyun.
I need your help.
Right now.
This way.
What the heck do you think you're doing?
You know that you need a search warrant for this!
–We just want to check something. –Gosh.
Darn it.
(Die)
I wondered why that punk...
...kept wandering around this area after he got out of jail.
By the way, how did you know?
Once, Han Jong–gu suddenly stopped talking...
...while talking about his mother.
Your mother's name is Yoon Yi–geum, right?
Why do you ask?
That woman has nothing to do with this case.
Back then, I didn't think much of it...
...but when I heard that there might be other victims...
...I wanted to check just in case.
Unlike the neighbor who said she's at a nursing home...
...he said his mother ran off because she had an affair.
He got mad at me for asking about her.
Let me make this one thing clear.
That woman no longer has...
...anything to do with me.
Anyway, you're pretty good.
(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)
Are you all right?
What?
You look so serious right now.
Oh, do I?
If Han Jong–gu gets acquitted this time...
...it means he should've been found guilty five years ago.
So whether he's found guilty...
...or not this time...
...you'll be upset either way.
At times like this...
...alcohol is the best remedy. Do you want to grab a drink?
–Forget it. –Why?
Just one drink, and you'll feel better.
Gosh, forget it.
–Come on. It's fine. –Cut it out.
(Verdict, March 2019, Order)
(The evidence submitted by the prosecution is...)
(The day of Kim Sun–hee Murder Case Sentencing Hearing)
–He's here. –There he is!
–Please say a few words. –A few words, please!
–What do you think will happen? –Tell us what you think.
–Please say a few words. –What do you think the verdict will be?
–Tell us what you think. –Do you think you'll win?
–Do you think he'll be acquitted? –Say a few words!
–Mr. Choi. –Tell us!
Captain, we got the warrant.
–Let's go. –Yes, sir.
All rise.
Please be seated.
Is the defense attorney not here yet?
(Defense Attorney)
It doesn't seem so. We'll call him.
Yes.
–Yes, Captain. –Hey, Mr. Choi.
We just got the search warrant.
Yes.
You're sure it's there, right?
That's what both Captain Ki and I think.
Let's go.
We must find it before the hearing ends.
Let's hurry.
What if we find nothing, and Han Jong–gu gets acquitted again?
Then he'll obviously go into hiding.
Would you wait to be caught if you were him?
That's why we must find it today.
Yes, sir.
(Defense Attorney)
First of all, we have to confirm the following...
...before we finalize the verdict.
First, does the pair of sneakers found at the defendant's residence...
...belong to him?
We don't have time, guys. Let's get moving.
Let's go. Hurry!
–Search every nook and cranny. –Yes, sir.
Don't leave out anything that may be used as evidence.
Second, does the defendant have an alibi...
...to prove his whereabouts at the time of the murder?
(Forensics, Police)
Third, is there a clear difference...
...between the MO of the past case and this one?
It'll tell us whether or not the two cases...
...were committed by the same person.
–Go deeper. –Right here.
You need to go deeper. Hey, deeper!
I will announce the verdict.
Defendant, please stand up.
(Defendant)
–Nothing? –No, nothing yet.
"Case Number 2019–871.
The court's verdict on the Kim Sun–hee murder case is as follows.
The evidence submitted by the prosecution...
...is not sufficient to find the defendant guilty...
...and no additional evidence has been found.
Thus, there is insufficient evidence...
...to prove the defendant's murder charge.
According to Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act...
...the court has decided the following."
Dig deeper.
I see a bone.
The court...
...finds Defendant Han Jong–gu...
...not guilty.
Is this a joke or what?
This is crazy. How is this possible?
–This is so unfair. –I can't believe this.
Oh my. I confessed that I had killed someone...
...and yet I managed to get acquitted.
Gosh, what a great country this is.
Mr. Choi, my gosh.
I owe it all to you.
–How did it go? –Hey, Mr. Choi.
We only found a dead dog. There's no human corpse.
We searched the entire house but found nothing else.
Mr. Han.
What?
Oh, your fees? Don't worry.
–When I receive the compensation for–– –Your mother's house.
I heard it will be taken down soon.
What?
They'll take down the ones that...
...no one lives in first.
Sir, the chief prosecutor is looking for you.
Okay.
He says to come right away.
I said okay!
(Die)
Han Jong–gu, you scumbag. Get him!
Thank you for your hard work.
Yes, I had to work hard.
Thanks to you.
At least you kept your promise.
I never thought I'd think any lawyers are good.
I guess I hadn't seen it all.
Sir, do you feel some burden has been lifted from your shoulders now?
You got Han Jong–gu in the end.
Yes, I feel good. I feel very good.
But the problem is that it's not over yet.
There are too many odd things about the Kim Sun–hee case.
The fact that Han Jong–gu had those bloodstained shoes...
...at the motel he was staying.
And Kim Sun–hee's ex–boyfriend changed his statement in court.
Why do you think that happened?
What do you think?
I think there are two possibilities.
Either Han Jong–gu was the target or he wasn't.
If Han Jong–gu was the target, the one who set him up...
...got what he wanted regardless of the process.
Thanks to you, he was put away.
If he wasn't the target...
...then that means he was caught by coincidence.
But I think that probability is very low.
Right, all the circumstantial evidence was...
...clearly pointing to Han Jong–gu.
I wonder who it was and why...
...he did something like this.
I guess we've got to find out now.
Sir.
Do you want to find the real culprits of all cases?
Isn't the answer obvious?
Then why did you leave your job?
Are you asking because you really don't know?
It was because of you.
Because you let Han Jong–gu go free...
...I had to pack up.
Don't take it too seriously.
You can't take jokes.
I was bored out of my mind sitting around issuing speeding tickets.
I couldn't take it anymore.
So I quit.
That doesn't mean you're guilt free.
So if I ever become homeless, you'll have to take care of me. Okay?
That was a joke.
Have a drink.
(A Cardboard House)
–It's late. You head home now. –Yes.
Go ahead, sir.
Sir.
See you again soon.
It's better if I don't see you.
By the way, the fact that I had evidence...
...did you really believe that?
Didn't you think it could be a trap?
Honestly, I didn't believe it entirely.
Is that so?
That's sobering me up.
(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)
–Good morning. –Did you sleep well?
Yes, I did. I didn't even hear you come in.
That's good to hear.
What's all this?
Your body is unwell because you don't have your meals on time.
I haven't used my cooking skills in a while...
...so I'm not sure if it's good.
You made all this...
–Well, please try it. –Looks great.
–Thank you for the food. –Sure, no problem.
–How about you, Madam Jin? –I already had a lot this morning.
–Thanks again. –Sure.
What's wrong? Do you not like it?
No, it's not that. It's delicious.
Oh, that's good!
Wow, it smells good. What's all this?
Are you two having a feast without me? That's not nice.
Yu–ri. Please come have some. Wait, I'll get you some water.
–Okay. –Thank you!
I haven't had homemade food since...
This one? Is it good?
I guess not all homemade food is good...
I guess it is good.
It's delicious.
Take your time and eat as much as you want.
Okay!
How did his trial go?
The media is just focusing on the verdict.
Both the prosecution and police are keeping it down themselves...
...since it doesn't benefit them.
That doesn't mean it's over.
Keep an eye on it until the end.
Yes, sir.
Any word from Assemblyman Park?
He says he needs the money now, but we're trying to buy time.
Is that so? When is the meeting?
This Friday at 2:00 p.m.
We have to nail it down this time.
Since it's the election season, we have the upper hand.
Yes. Understood.
Who is it?
It's...
I...
Who did you say you are?
I'm...
No thank you.
I'm a lawyer.
Who?
My name is Choi Do–hyun. I was the defense lawyer for Ms. Yang's case.
May I speak to you briefly?
Why are you doing this?
I'm sorry.
We know it's not your fault.
It was that killer who did it, not you. But still...
...it's not that easy to think like that.
I'm sorry.
Please don't come back ever again.
Well...
When we saw the news that the killer admitted it...
...my mom and I cried a lot.
We wanted to know who did it at least.
That's enough for us.
Han Jong–gu killed Yang Ae–ran five years ago.
Then, where is the man who killed Kim Sun–hee?
(Kim Sun–hee)

Where did I see her?
Where was that?

(Caught in the act...)
I'll announce the verdict.
The defendant Choi Pil–soo, who formerly served in the military...
...shot the victim who served in the same unit for a long time...
...for no apparent reason, and caused his death.
After the crime, he showed no signs of...
...compassion, guilt, or remorse for his crime.
Therefore, the court imposes upon Choi Pil–soo, the defendant...
...the death penalty, the maximum penalty permitted by law.
He got the death penalty.
That was the verdict.
He was found guilty.
Wait, just a minute.
Dad. Did you really do it?
You didn't do it, right?
Are you really not going to say anything?
Looks like your surgery went well.
That's not what's important right now.

Are you confident that everyone you've arrested are all real culprits?
(Ki Choon–ho, Detective in charge, arrested the suspect at the crime scene!)
Jeez, he's driving me crazy!
Shut up already! I can't sleep!
You think you're the only one who feels wronged here?
[K-Plus Asia ver.] Confession E03 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92
Gosh.
You punk.
Stop moving!
–Jeez. –Ouch.
–Don't move, you punk.
–Sir! –I got him here.
–Jeez. –We'll take him in.
–Work hard. –Will do, sir.
Why didn't you just call the police?
He was caught in the act. You have to put him away immediately.
Goodness.
You haven't change a bit.
–How is it going for you? –What?
It's comfortable. I can just watch the surveillance camera in a warm room.
I don't have to go undercover, and I can eat and go home on time.
You should join me if this is too hard.
To me, it sounds like you miss it.
Gosh. Does it?
Now that we've put away Han Jong–gu...
...why don't you just come back?
How is that possible? I quit voluntarily.
I heard they're recruiting experienced hires soon.
Why don't you give it some serious thought?
Anyway, how is the Kim Sun–hee case coming along?
Gosh. It's killing us.
We're working really hard on it, but...
–Sir, I'll head back in now. –Okay. Get back to work.
–Get home safely. –Thanks.
Kim Sun–hee...
(To: Kim Sun–hee)
Kim Sun–hee.
I'm at the Bright Political Party's press conference at the party's headquarters.
In a moment, Park Si–Kang, the interim party chair...
...who is a nephew of the former president...
...will give his speech for Joongang–gu's special election for the National Assembly.
Here comes Interim Party Chair Park Si–kang.
(No. 1: Park Si–kang, Joongang–gu, the heart of Seoul!)
Despite your busy schedules...
...so many Joongang–gu citizens came out today.
I really would like to thank you.
Sometimes we don't see it at the moment...
...but when we look back, we realize that it was a historic moment...
...and I myself was there...
...in that historic moment.
I'll bring the changes.
What if he even becomes the president?
Who is he?
Do you not know who Park Si–kang is?
Park Si–kang is a nephew of Park Myung–seok, the former president.
Immature is the word to describe him.
He caused a lot of trouble at the Blue House when he was a presidential aide.
He was the talk of the town.
But no one could say anything.
Because President Park openly favored him.
You might wonder why because he's just a nephew, not even his own son.
But President Park only had one daughter.
So in other words, Park Si–kang is...
...considered to be the one that'll carry on their family name.
We shouldn't elect people like him.
I'd like to talk about a current situation not related to our district.
We have come a long way through industrialization and democratization.
I need to go somewhere.
Where?
Just somewhere.
Okay. See you when you get back.
...and ruining the lives of its citizens.
The video recording of the trial from 10 years ago?
Yes. It's Case Number 2009–317.
Thank you.
(Request Form to View, Copy, and Print Trial Records)
(No recording available)
There is no video recording of the trial for this case.
It says that the presiding judge didn't allow it.
Was there anything else to be noted?
Anything related to the trial would work.
Let me take a look for a minute.
(Reporter fined for taking photo without permission)
I'm not sure if this would be helpful...
...but a reporter who tried to take a picture was fined.
–For taking a picture? –Yes.
Does it say who it was?
His name is Sung Jun–sik.
Sung Jun–sik...
–Yu–ri! –Yes?
Do you know a reporter named Sung Jun– sik?
He works for the same newspaper you used to work for.
Sung Jun–sik? I know him really well.
Can you introduce me to him?
–Why? –I have something to ask him.
–No. –Why not?
You know how I can't just let it go when I'm curious about––
It's about the Kim Sun–hee case.
The Kim Sun–hee case?
Why would you ask him about that case?
Kim Sun–hee was...
...at my dad's trial 10 years ago.
What? Why was she there?
I don't know yet.
There are no records left from that trial...
...but it says Sung Jun–sik took a picture during the trial.
The picture might have captured something I don't know about.
Okay. I'll look into it.
Can you just introduce me to him? This is a personal matter.
You don't know how he is. Sung Jun–sik is...
...not that easy.
He won't let you off easily if he finds out you're a lawyer.
It's better that I ask him.
It'd be okay if you'd just introduce me...
Can you get me that picture then?
Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
The fact that you're paying for this means...
...you have a very difficult favor to ask me.
What is it?
Do you remember the Colonel Cha Seung– hoo murder case by any chance?
I heard you were fined for taking a picture during the trial.
Let me think...
Do you remember it or not?
It was a case where the person was shot and killed at a high–class restaurant, right?
A colonel on active duty was murdered by a reserve officer.
You're remembering it well.
Based on where this conversation is going...
...my guess is you need the picture I took.
–I don't have it. –What?
It got taken away.
Really?
Anyway, what are you trying to find out?
You said you don't have the picture.
Then you can't expect me to tell you anything.
And you can stop eating this now.
Jeez, you have no patience.
Okay, okay.
I have a picture of the spectators that I took before the trial started.
Well, I don't necessarily need a picture of the spectators...
...but just in case, can I see that at least?
You'd be surprised to know how hard I had to work for this.
If you had gone instead, you'd have spilled everything without even getting this.
I'm heading out to work now.
Hey, shouldn't you at least say...
...thank you or see you later?
Oh, thank you. See you later.
Forget it. Between you and Sung Jun–sik, I don't know which one's worse.
Hello. Law offices of Choi Do–hyun.
I'm calling from the court administration office.
Mr. Han Jong–gu requested you to be his defense lawyer.
Mr. Han Jong–gu?
No. Please tell him I decline.
Han Jong–gu?
Am I asking too much?
Can you relax a little?
I'm the one who should be upset here.
You stabbed me in the back pretty good.
Well, I guess I was the idiot who fell for it. Who can I blame?
Why did you want to see me?
Why else would someone in jail ask for his lawyer?
This case...
I'm sure you were told that I won't take it.
I'm not asking you to get me out of here.
I know I'm pretty stuck this time.
So maybe you can try to shorten my sentence.
That would be difficult for any lawyer.
Charges of parricide and exploring tombs.
And in your case, even if double jeopardy doesn't apply––
So then why!
Why did you make me confess for that?
At least you proved you are innocent of one of them.
In any case, the result is the same!
Jeez. Forget it.
This time, I'll admit everything, so do something about it.
Aren't you curious...
...about why I picked you to be my lawyer again?
No, I'm not curious.
If you've got nothing else to say, I'll get going now.
Choi Pil–soo.
Choi Pil–soo...
...your father.
Or should I call him Warrant Officer Choi Pil–soo?
(Confession)
You were at my father's trial 10 years ago, right?
Did you really do it, Dad?
Did you hear about Nurse Cho?
You overdosed the patient and caused him to die.
It makes no sense to arrest her for making a mistake.
–I thought it was odd from the beginning. –Do you have evidence?
Why do we keep getting intertwined?
And how am I related to your father's case?
Explain to me now why you did that!
I just want to know the truth.
