I asked, are you sure you remember correctly?
Then…
how did Min-a die?
Mr. Park, was there perhaps…
INTERROGATION ROOM
EPISODE 9
From this moment on, Jang Ha-bin is a suspect in Choi's murder case,
and you'll be removed from the investigation.
Captain Oh.
I can explain.
I can wrap up the interview with Park now and--
Officer Lee, you go in.
Follow me.
Captain Oh.
Park's statement is off.
I understand she can be suspicious.
You can investigate her.
But I can't be removed from the investigation.
What?
Are you saying you still want to be part of the investigation?
My daughter may have done something wrong, but she didn't kill anyone.
There's a photo of her next to the body. There's no stronger--
The photo isn't direct evidence. It's circumstantial.
Instead of looking at the photo,
we should focus on why this person took it--
Does that even matter right now?
A suspect's father is involved in the investigation.
This is a serious problem.
Park Jun-tae isn't the culprit.
His confession doesn't align with the cause of the victim's death.
If he's not the culprit, then who is?
Mr. Park and I…
had dinner together…
and went into the room.
Then my stomach suddenly started to--
I told you it's not the stomach. It's a fever.
Do-yun, I'm not mad at you.
But you can't make any mistakes. Try again.
Mr. Park and I…
had dinner together
and went into the room.
Why did you say that you strangled her?
That statement has been confirmed false.
How did you kill her?
I want to check something.
Can I talk to Ha-bin's dad?
You can tell me.
Park doesn't have any memories from the time of the crime for sure.
That's nonsense!
What kind of nut confesses to something he doesn't remember?
You know that the only way to fix this
is to find the real culprit, Chief.
If you give me one last chance, I will find the real culprit.
Do you even know what you're talking about?
How could a suspect's father carry out the investigation?
If my daughter was the murderer,
why would I say Park Jun-tae isn't?
Sir, we don't need to hear this anymore.
We should stick to the rule and remove him from the investigation.
What's wrong?
Give us the room.
What is it?
Park says he only wants Captain Jang to interview him.
Sir, we should never let him.
We'll get him to talk.
We've already arrested him.
We can't prosecute him for a false confession.
But sir, this is not right.
Jang Tae-su can't interview Park Jun-tae.
How did it go?
We're going to call in Jang Ha-bin for an interview.
I'll give you two hours.
If we see you trying to pull anything funny,
we'll stop the interview.
- Sir, about the photo we've received… - Yes?
The delivery company just got back to us.
- Call Captain Oh. - Yes, sir.
EXPRESS DELIVERY
Explain this.
Jung Du-cheol sent that photo, didn't he?
Did he blackmail you?
It's true that he blackmailed me. But I didn't let it get to me.
Is the reason why Park only wants to talk with you
and why you keep saying Park is innocent related to that blackmail?
That's not true. The truth is--
You can't interview him. Go fetch Jang Ha-bin.
Captain Oh. Just trust me this time and--
Should I request a warrant?
Fetch your daughter.
- Detective Kim, fetch Jang Ha-bin. - But Captain Jang said he'd get her--
No, you go so they can't get the stories straight.
Yes, sir.
And check her alibi again.
But we already have a photo of her with the body.
She was involved in the Song Min-a case as well.
We have to start from square one.
Yes, sir.
We need to investigate you regarding Choi's murder case.
So get ready and follow us.
It's okay. There's nothing to worry about.
Where's the bag with the evidence?
It's gone.
I burned it.
We need more information on Jang Ha-bin so we can interrogate her.
- Hello. Detective Park speaking. - I'll look into it.
Captain.
Jung Du-cheol called.
Jang Ha-bin killed Choi Yeong-min.
I saw it with my own eyes.
Park Jun-tae already confessed that he murdered both Choi and Song.
We know that you're the accomplice in Song's murder case.
- So turn yourself in. - On the day Song's body was buried,
I saw Jang Ha-bin on Mount Daehwa.
We've already confirmed her alibi for that day.
I said I saw it.
Because I…
I hit her with my car.
Don't go easy on her because she's a cop's daughter. Investigate thoroughly.
Were you really with Ha-bin the entire night then?
I told you last time.
Yes, I was.
Do you see Ha-bin?
The hidden part is the victim's body.
I get you're worried about your friend,
but doing this can put her in even greater danger.
Is this really helping Ha-bin?
Think about that.
She booked the party room on the first floor
to sneak out through the terrace at night.
So Jung was telling the truth when he said he saw her at Mount Daehwa.
All right. From this point on, Jang Ha-bin is a suspect in the Song Min-a case too.
When she arrives, pull yourself together and interrogate her thoroughly. Okay?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Detective Kim.
Can we have a moment, please?
I can handle the interrogation.
No.
Legally, you're still underage, and that means I can accompany you.
I can do it by myself.
- I know you don't want me to help-- - You want to catch the culprit, right?
The quickest way to prove I didn't kill
is to find the real culprit.
Are you sure you remember correctly?
YEONJU POLICE STATION
Can I talk with Ha-bin's dad for a second?
I'm afraid you can't.
Then can I make one phone call?
There's something I must check.
Park Jun-tae
just admitted that he killed all the victims.
Once we confirm a few more of his statements,
everything will be over.
Okay.
According to Park, he ran away with Song's body
before you came home from the hospital that night.
Did you ever see Song that day?
No, I didn't.
- Not even once? - No.
I took my son to the hospital that day and…
He had a high fever.
So I took him to the emergency room.
All your statements align with Park's.
Thank you.
Can I interview Do-yun since I'm here already?
Why would you interview him?
He's part of the case too.
If I interview him at the station, he'll get nervous
and it'll take longer.
Do you know why you're being interviewed?
I was told it was about Choi's murder case.
Why did you say you didn't know Choi last time?
I'm going to need you to explain this.
I abducted Choi Yeong-min.
I stabbed him in the knee too.
But…
I didn't kill him.
I heard there was evidence.
Why did you get rid of it?
If you really hadn't killed him,
that evidence might have proved your innocence.
I thought my dad would tell me to confess,
so I got rid of it.
Is there something else that can prove your innocence?
Proving the suspect's guilt or innocence is the cops' job, not mine.
Everything I told you is true.
Geez, she really is something.
On the day Song died…
you were at Mount Daehwa, right?
Jung Du-cheol dismembered Song's body, right?
I couldn't really see his face then,
but he had the phone that I lost.
- Are you saying you're just a witness? - Yes.
After getting injured at the mountain that day,
you deliberately ran into a car the next day.
Yes.
Why did you make up an alibi if you're just a witness?
Because I knew I'd be suspected like this.
No.
Even before Song died, you made up an alibi with your friend.
From the beginning…
you intended to kill Song, didn't you?
You must be Do-yun.
Do-yun.
Do you remember the night you got sick and went to the ER?
Do you remember what you did with Mr. Park that day?
We watched television…
and then had dinner together.
Min-a told you that she liked Mr. Park a lot, right?
She said she liked him…
because he's handsome.
Can I have some water, please?
Sure.
Do-yun.
I heard that Mr. Park did something bad to Min-a that day.
Did the two have a fight perhaps?
How did she look that day?
She just looked
the same as usual.
The same as usual?
Yes.
Do-yun saw Min-a that day.
You said you never saw her that day.
She's saying she didn't kill anyone and only injured Choi.
That can't be true.
She most likely approached Song and Choi to murder them.
The biggest problem now is
that she's keeping quiet about her motive.
What are you doing here?
Get out.
Captain Jang. Get out, now.
- Captain Oh. - You can't--
Kim Seong-hui lied.
I warned you. If you keep acting like…
She just looked the same as usual.
The same as usual?
Yes.
Kim Seong-hui met Song Min-a on the day of the incident.
Have you lost your mind? Who do you think you are to interview him?
Before Park came to Kim's home, Song had already been murdered.
And Kim convinced Park, who was drunk at that time,
that he did it.
But why would Kim kill Song?
What was her motive?
Thanks, Ms. Kim, for always giving me food.
It's not a big deal.
Is everything okay?
I think the police are suspicious of me.
Of you? Why?
They're investigating Mr. Park now.
So naturally they're suspecting me too.
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said you're dating him.
It's okay, Eun-jin. It's not your fault.
Actually, Eun-jin.
I know something,
but I don't think they will believe me if I say it.
I can help.
I want to help.
Can you do that for me?
Do-yun!
Why did you do that to Eun-jin?
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Go on inside. I'll take care of this.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Do-yun, what's wrong?
Tell me. Why did you do that?
Her primary motive was money.
When Song ran away from the gang, she stole Choi's money.
Choi also carried money while he was on the run.
But nothing was found at the crime scene.
Captain Jang.
There's a limit to my patience.
If I ever catch you snooping around behind our backs like this,
I will not let it slide.
Go get Kim Seong-hui and Kwon Do-yun.
Yes, sir.
About the Song Min-a case…
You knew Ha-bin's alibi was made up, right?
Why did Ha-bin approach Song and Choi?
You're still hiding something.
My daughter didn't kill anyone.
Aren't you ashamed as a police officer?
I looked up to you, Captain.
And I wish I didn't.
Come on. Let's go.
What's happening?
She's refusing to say anything.
Go and check Do-yun's statements again.
I will interview Do-yun.
Do-yun.
You're just here…
to have a chat with me.
Did you really see Min-a that day?
I got confused.
It wasn't that day.
Then when was the last time you saw her?
I can't remember.
You did well.
Just like you did now, tell me whatever you remember.
You did a great job.
Have you ever talked about what happened that day with your mom?
Never?
You're doing a great job.
I don't want…
to tell you.
Why not?
No reason.
Is it because it's hard to lie?
Do-yun.
It's okay. I can wait
for as long as you need
to tell me the truth, Do-yun.
I did that because…
Because I liked her.
Eun-jin.
Mom asked me to pick up the containers.
Okay. Give me one second.
Do you want to know what it is?
Is it candy?
It's a candy that makes you feel good.
Hey.
You still haven't found Song Min-a?
I'm going to kill this fucking bitch once I catch her.
Where's Ms. Kim?
She went to the dry cleaner's.
I'm freaking tired.
Hey, don't tell Choi Yeong-min that I was here, okay?
Get me something to drink.
Gosh, this is frustrating.
It's a candy that makes you feel good.
He said…
the candy makes you feel good.
I just wanted to make her feel better.
You knew everything, didn't you?
He's just a kid.
I don't know what he said,
but it's not true.
Do-yun won't face criminal punishment due to his young age.
So please be honest with me.
It's all my fault.
I should've kicked out the runaway kids.
I just felt too bad for them to do that.
Seeing Yeong-min beat the kids
made Do-yun a little insecure.
That's probably why he said those strange things.
Anyway, it was the kid who killed Song Min-a.
It was an accident.
If Kim tried to cover it up, she'd have to face the consequences.
But covering for your son
isn't subject to criminal punishment.
The problem is that the body was disposed of.
She can still be punished for aiding and abetting in the disposal
and Park might even file a civil suit.
Geez.
I should get going.
- Bye. - Goodbye.
This means that what Jang Ha-bin said was true. She only injured him.
Send her home for now.
Yes, sir.
I still don't get it.
She ran from the murder scene
and Captain Jang hid the fact that he got blackmailed.
All of this can't just be to cover up a simple assault.
And?
Lee Su-hyeon's case hasn't been solved.
And she still hasn't told us why she approached Song and Choi.
Officer Lee.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
We suspected her of killing Song, and it turned out she didn't.
I'm hungry.
Do-yun.
Do-yun, are you okay?
Do-yun.
Does your mom know
what happened that day?
Mom told me…
Yes?
…not to tell anyone about it.
About that…
Look at me, Do-yun.
Don't tell anyone about it.
There will be a few more interviews.
We'll call you.
Bye, Do-yun.
Bye.
Thank you.
Ms. Kim.
I'll be back in a second.
Yes?
If I were you, I would never admit that I knew.
Do-yun needs you right now.
Please remember that.
Thank you, Detective.
Gosh, this is killing me.
Detective Kim.
Yes.
Why the long face?
This case seems impossible to solve.
Geez.
- You got them? - Yes.
Have some pizza.
Pizza is the best late-night snack.
It's tasty.
It's a famous pizza place that just opened nearby.
- It's good. - Officer Lee.
You should have some too. You didn't have dinner.
I'll have it later.
Excuse me.
Eun-jin.
What brings you here?
I have something to show you.
Here.
What do you want to eat?
Let's just go anywhere.
What?
When Choi was alive,
Eun-jin was too afraid to show us this.
So…
Yoon Ji-su killed Lee Su-hyeon,
and Choi Yeong-min knew about it.
Yes.
This must be related to the reason why Ha-bin approached the runaway kids.
I wonder why Yoon Ji-su killed Lee Su-hyeon.
Don't give them any statements.
I heard they got the video of Mom.
Explaining that it was your mom's misunderstanding will only
make them suspicious of you. So don't--
I'll do the interview.
I didn't kill anyone.
Ha-bin.
Just listen to me this one time.
Until your innocence is proven…
please just do as I say.
Let's skip the unnecessary procedures and get to the point.
What's that video?
Did Yoon Ji-su…
kill Lee Su-hyeon?
Did Kim Seong-hui
confess that she killed Song Min-a?
It was not Kim Seong-hui. Kwon Do-yun killed her.
That's what she said?
We got her confession and evidence.
- But that's not important now-- - Captain!
We've got footage of Jung Du-cheol in front of the station.
Where is he now?
We're looking into that now. You should come and see.
Damn it.
NO ENTRY
Hi, Do-yun. What's up?
Who are you?
Mr. Jung.
This is where Choi Yeong-min died.
Mr. Jung.
You set him up with all of this.
Tell me the truth.
I didn't.
There must be a misunderstanding. Please calm--
- Tell me! - I didn't.
Tell me the truth!
Mr. Jung!
Split into two groups. Team Two go to the right and Team One go to the left.
What was that?
Sir, are you okay?
- What the… - Get him!
Get him!
- He's not there? - No.
- Did you find anything? - No.
We can't seem to locate Jung anymore.
Kim Seong-hui is gone too. She won't answer her phone.
What was Kim doing here?
What if
Captain Jang was actually right?
Maybe she came to get Choi's money.
Excuse me.
I have something to share.
Can I talk with Officer Gu?
This is Yeong-min's bag.
How did you get this?
I knew about Yeong-min's other hideout.
I went to see if there was anything,
and I found this bag. I thought this would help.
Did you know…
about the video that Eun-jin showed us too?
I asked her to show you to avoid suspicion.
I wasn't sure if I should bring this bag too, actually.
But I thought you would believe me.
I see.
Kim Seong-hui brought Choi's belongings?
Where's she now?
I think you should see this first.
- What's this? - It's Choi's cell phone.
I SAW YOUR DAUGHTER KILL LEE SU-HYEON
BRING ME THE MONEY BEFORE I CALL THE POLICE
I HAVE A VIDEO OF YOU BURYING HER
Request an arrest warrant
for Jang Ha-bin on suspicion of murdering Lee.
Yes, sir.
Turn yourself in.
Park Jun-tae is trying to protect Kim Seong-hui.
Choi might not have been killed by him.
You're the only one who can change his mind now.
I don't…
believe you.
Mr. Jung.
I need to prove that Kim Seong-hui is the culprit
to prove my daughter's innocence.
I'm here to turn myself in.
Before I tell you everything…
let me see my son first.
Did you catch the culprit?
Just wait.
Have a one-on-one interrogation with Jung Du-cheol.
And tell him we'll let him meet Park if he cooperates.
Yes, sir.
- Officer Gu, conduct the interrogation. - Yes, sir.
And Officer Lee, investigate thoroughly
and get Jang Ha-bin's confession.
Yes, sir.
If the interrogations go well, we might find something.
Captain.
Looks like Lee Su-hyeon was definitely killed by Jang Ha-bin.
There were two phone numbers registered under Yoon, so I looked into it and…

CAN'T FORGET DAD YELLING AT MOM TO DIE
She knew you would suspect her and feel bad about it,
but also would eventually trust her.
Including what's happening now,
Ha-bin predicted everything.
IF THE TRUTH COMES OUT
For the perfect murder…
HE WOULDN'T HESITATE TO SAVE ME
…she studied the people involved to use them to her advantage.
So what?
What about this?
Her mom committed suicide due to blackmail.
Of course she wants to take revenge.
Lee Su-hyeon…
was killed by Jang Ha-bin.
No. Ha-bin didn't even know she died.
Here's the record from the day Lee died.
This base station received signals
from Jang Ha-bin, Yoon Ji-su, and Lee Su-hyeon's phones at the same time.
On the night Lee died, the three of them were together.
What if this wasn't about taking revenge for her mom,
but was about killing people who know about her crime
so she can conceal it?
Captain Jang, you're now helping her with her plan.
Do you still not get it?
HOTEL
Do you have a room available?
I'd like to extend my stay for a week.
You don't need to clean the room.
Sure you don't want to eat anything?
Yes, I'm not hungry.
Mom.
Yes?
Why do I keep forgetting…
every time I do something bad?
Because you have to protect yourself.
That's why you forget it.
And I don't think those are bad things.
Whatever makes you and me happy is a good thing.
I can do anything for you, Do-yun.
You know that, right?
Me too.
Choi Yeong-min, that scumbag,
blackmailed some lady and she ended up killing herself.
Her daughter came to me.
Just like what you said on the phone earlier,
I have no idea what you're talking about.
You don't have to act in front of me.
I know the relationship between you and Choi Yeong-min.
He didn't blackmail her alone, right?
No way an idiot like him came up with the idea.
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
I want one-third of the share.
So it's fair.
I've been doing all the dangerous deliveries.
If you give me the share…
I won't report you to the police.
I'll bring the money.
Wait here, Min-a.
This is delicious.
Thanks for the food.
This is so tasty.
- Try this. - I can't wait.
- My gosh. It's so good. - You said you're on a diet.
- No, I don't want that. - Eat these first.
- No. - Take the sausage.
You have to eat these.
This is so good! I need to lose weight, though.
- Delicious. - Then you should eat this.
Here's fried chicken, your favorite.
It looks so good!
- Awesome. - It's tasty.
The food is great.
Do you like the food?
- I'll try. - Good.

There's no record of you calling her since that day,

Is there any proof that I killed her?
Su-hyeon wanted me to bring you to her because she misses you.
I can't stop here.
