("The Truth Behind the Murders Will Be Revealed")
("The Show, 'Return', Will Broadcast Live")
Choi Ja Hye, a famous TV host...
and an attorney who stood trial...
as a defendant of the recent case, Roman Numeral Serial Murders,
informed our agency...
regarding her upcoming live show...
to uncover the truth behind these murders...
through an online streaming platform tomorrow at 5pm.
Last month, Choi Ja Hye faced a trial...
with three alleged accomplices. With a surgeon...
at a general hospital, a detective, and another accomplice,
they were charged...
with Roman Numeral Serial Murders of three victims.
But they were found not guilty due to lack of evidence.
The attorney has contacted our agency about her live show.
However, as to the information she will unravel during the show,
it is still unknown.
The involvement of a surgeon at a general hospital...
and a detective in the murder case shocked the public.
The website where Choi Ja Hye will stream her show, "Return"...
crashed at one point...
due to a traffic spike and wasn't accessible.
Rumor has it that Choi Ja Hye is dead.
But she did say that she will host the show.
The police announced they will not take action against her show...
and will observe the situation for the time being.

I am...
a murderer.
However, in 20 minutes, the law cannot convict me of murder.
"Return" will now begin.
It's starting.
(Return)
Why did I kill Yum Mi Jung, Ahn Hak Soo,
and Ko Suk Soon?
Before I delve into this,
let me first address the hit-and-run case of a nine-year-old...
in Taein on November 4, 1999.
On the day of the accident, the victim, Jung So Mi,
was waiting for her mom to return from work.
She went out to meet her mom who had not come home,
and sadly, she was hit by a car on that road.
However, the girl's body was found, not at the scene of the accident,
but by the sea 1.5km away by a fisherman.
This is all that is recorded in the case report.
However, the truth of the case was very different.
Contrary to what the case report said, the child...
had drowned to death.
Shockingly, the perpetrators...
were four 13-year-old boys...
and a 14-year-old boy.
(Kim Hak Bum, Kang In Ho, Oh Tae Suk, Seo Joon Hee)
They were young and afraid.
They made the wrong decision.
After the accident, they decided to throw the girl,
who was still alive, off a cliff far from the scene.
They chose...
to sacrifice the young girl's life...
rather than admit what they had done.
The incident, which they thought would be hidden forever,
was exposed when the girl's body...
floated above the water.
The crime, which was being investigated by the police,
was fabricated by the detective in charge.
There was one more boy at the scene.
Unlike the others, his family was not wealthy,
and he took all the blame for their crimes.
The four boys, who were minors, were not punished at all.
The one boy, whose birthday had passed, didn't qualify as a minor...
and had to pay for their crimes.
Just because he was there at the scene,
he was sentenced to two years in juvenile hall.
Hey. Look closely at that.
This is the law on minors.
Do you mean the vial?
Where do you think she is?
It looks like a storage container.
Raise the volume.
Rather than punishing children...
- Listen carefully. - who broke the law...
- and ruining their futures, - Don't you hear something?
It's Choi Ja Hye's voice.
Not that. Don't you hear seagulls?
they are rehabilitated so that they can mature into good people.
I think so.
Maybe it's near an ocean.
An ocean.
Taein.
Track the IP address of her broadcast.
Okay.
Then...
what kind of adults did those boys, who were protected...
rather than punished, grow up to be?
(Kang In Ho, Kim Hak Bum, Oh Tae Suk, Seo Joon Hee)
After gang-raping a minor in 2008,
they used their money and power...
to manipulate the law and avoid conviction.
Now, I will talk about...
the three murders that I've committed.
I put the body of the first victim...
in the trunk of Kim Hak Bum's car.
When they found the body,
they moved the body just as they did 19 years ago.
They shunned their friend who was framed for murder,
and attempted to murder the friend who tried to help him.
They went on...
to murder another person.
Again, they chose the absolute worst option when given a choice...
and made it unnecessary for me to take revenge on them directly.
The videos I'm about to show you is evidence to prove...
their evil deeds.
You didn't say you'd really kill him.
I said I wouldn't run him over. I didn't say I wouldn't kill him.
That's true.
Put him in that and drag him over here.
(Seized Vehicle)
They committed more evil...
in order to cover up their evil,
and their evil escalated...
until they killed their own friend.
If...
they had been punished properly when they were minors,
would they have become the monsters they are today?
Perhaps the one who made them monsters...
was the flaws of the system that taught them...
the blind spots of the law when they were children.
Still, I am not condemning the law protecting minors.
One minor who benefited from the law...
repented and grew to be a mature adult...
and worked hard to escape from his past.
The law must be more careful and apply equally to everyone.
It must not protect only the rich...
and powerful to manipulate the law.
If it protects the perpetrators,
the victims and victims' families, who should be comforted,
must live the remaining years in pain.
No!
- Mom. - No.
- Mom. - Why are you taking him?
No! Min Young! Oh no.
If a flawed system brings greater pain to those who are hurt,
for whom...
does the law exist?
Did you find the IP address?
Yes, I did.
It says it's in Taein. I'll text you the location.
I am...
a mother...
who lost her daughter...
on November 4, 1999.
I couldn't understand the law.
I was wronged and upset.
All I could do was study and study some more...
to understand the law.
Luckily,
I was able to become a lawyer,
but I was unable to protect the weak.
As I stated earlier,
I am a murderer who killed three people.
The criminal laws of Korea precludes double jeopardy.
In other words, one cannot be tried twice...
for the same crime.
I've killed three people,
but because of a lack of evidence,
I will not be punished for committing murder.
Because I was familiar with the law,
I used the judiciary system to my advantage.
To those who are uneducated...
and without means,
the barrier of the law is too high without limit.
The law is lenient only...
to the rich who know the system.
Answer your phone.
(Oh Tae Suk)
I would like to ask you a question, the jury of the viewers.
Are you...
completely protected by our judiciary system?
This has been...
the last episode of "Return".
I am Choi Ja Hye.
Yes, Young.
Dong Bae. So Mi, the daughter of Jung In Ae.
Did Tae Min Young tell you where they dumped...
her body after the car accident?
When you go up past Sodol Hill,
there's only one cliff.
He told me that she would go there and cry time to time.
Yes, I see. Okay.
I did check the website too.
I understand.
Investigator Park, please record the questioning.
Yes, sir.
What do you think you're doing?
It seems...
we have to start from the beginning.
I, as the prosecutor in charge, and you, as the defendant.
Got that, Oh Tae Suk?
Get me the prosecutor general.
That was the prosecutor general on the phone.
The prosecutor general instructed me to be very thorough.
Hey, Mr. Prosecutor.
Let me smoke a cigarette.
I can give you as many cigarettes as you want,
but don't address me casually like that again.
Address me with proper respect.
(November 4, 1999)
- Get me another bottle of soju. - Yes, hello?
So Mi, your mom's busy. She can't come to the phone now.
So Mi, stop calling the restaurant. Okay?
We can't take reservations today because of you.
- I'm so sorry. - My goodness.
If you like me, just talk to me.
My gosh.
Hello.
What's wrong with you? Stop asking for your mother.
I'm sorry.
Let me step out just for a moment.
(Public Pay Phone)
Mom?
That clumsy fool.
Darn it. Come on, man. Hurry up!
Mom. Mom!
So Mi, do you want me to scold you?
I told you not to call me at the restaurant because I'm busy.
Mom. Are you angry?
Yes, I'm very angry.
Are you a baby?
You're nine years old. You should know how hard I work.
Until when will you act like a baby?
I just...
wanted to ask when you'd be home today.
Why?
I wanted to have dinner with you.
I can't.
I'm very busy today. I don't know when I'll be home.
Don't wait up and go to sleep without me.
So Mi, answer me.
Okay. I will.
I said, no.
Come on.
Unbelievable.
(Taein Seafood Restaurant)
In Ae! In Ae, hold on a minute.
My gosh, when did you get there so quickly? Hold on a second.
Wait. Give me a second.
Take this. Come on, take it.
You know the man with the green hat earlier.
He's waiting for you at the karaoke over there.
Why don't you stop by for a second?
So Mi is waiting for me at home.
Listen. You spilled the drink on his lap earlier.
Don't you feel sorry?
Come on.
Wait.
I'll pay you for it.
Take it. Take the money.
Let's sing just 1 song. 1 song, okay?
- No. No... So Mi. - Let's go.
All right!
Okay, okay. Thank you. Thank you.
You're very good. Keep going.
Lizard, Lizard
Lizard can solve anything
Lizard, Lizard can solve anything
Lizard, Lizard
Lizard can
Solve anything
What kind of song is this? Stop singing!
(Rocuronium)
The final victim of the rocuronium case...
was you?
The show is starting.
I'm coming...
to see you now.
I wanted to have dinner with you.
