(The Empire)
- What's going on? - What is that?
Ten.
Gosh. The degrees of decomposition are all different.
I can see the recent ones rotting.
And some of the old ones can't even be recognized.
It means the culprit has been consistent.
A habitual criminal.
Who did this?
Do you think it's relevant to our case?
We got the warrant for the security cameras.
You don't have any security footage?
How is that possible?
We're truly sorry. But we really don't have it.
The storage device was broken exactly three days ago.
So nothing was saved.
The device broke down around the time of the incident?
Are you kidding me?
We're not here to fool around.
That's destroying evidence in a homicide case.
We'll see you at the station soon.
Gosh. I'm really sorry.
We were going to get that fixed, but this happened...
I'm sorry.
(Episode 10)
We're just going to leave like this?
They're destroying evidence!
I'm sure they're lying to us!
Right. Let's say that you're right.
Joong Jin. If you were the security guard,
would you be able to get rid of the security footage as you please?
Or would you be able to say no...
when your boss tells you to get rid of the security footage?
Someone else gave him the order.
If he gets arrested for this,
he won't be able to work as a security guard.
How will he get a job?
That's his problem, not ours.
What about the victim? Don't you care about her?
How can we investigate without the security footage?
Let's proceed with the digital forensic analysis first.
We might be able to find some videos.
It's obvious that we can't restore any videos!
They already overwrote those files with other files!
I'll get going if we're not going to study today.
- Sit down. - It's not like we'll study today.
- The exam is around the corner. - Hey.
Kang Baek is shocked right now.
You know that he must be shocked the most among us.
Why is that? It wasn't like they were dating.
I'm not shocked. I'm busy because I'm behind with my studies.
Don't you think you're being unreasonable?
I didn't know you were this awful.
Why are you criticizing me when I haven't done a thing?
How is this criticizing you?
How could you be this heartless toward Nan Hee?
It wasn't like we were indebted to her.
How are we supposed to behave then?
She's right. What are we supposed to do?
Should we go over to the morgue at the NFS and cry our eyes out?
Will our tears...
make Nan Hee come back from the dead?
What should we do?
Right. What do you expect us to do?
She was murdered.
Nan Hee was murdered.
So what? Are you asking us to catch the culprit?
This isn't the police university.
Kang Baek.
You're acting really weird.
You should watch what you say. You're getting on my nerves.
And I can finally say this to you.
You were never good enough to join our study group.
So I would like to ask you to leave our study group.
You're not even on our level.
How dare you lecture me?
What did you say?
I said you weren't on my level.
- Hey, Jang Ji Yi. - You know I'm right.
This is why I wanted the girls to leave our study group.
This happened because they joined us when they weren't on our level.
Only people like her would face such an awful death.
- I'm about to be talked about too. - That's enough!
You crazy wench. Hey.
- Ji Yi. - Have you gone mad?
- Hey. Say that again! - Hey, get off me!
- What did you just say? - Get off me!
- You don't want to be a prosecutor? - Have you gone mad?
Hey! How could you say that?
- Let go of me! That lunatic. - Hey.
- Hey. What's wrong with her? - How could you say that?
Kang Baek.
Hey, Kang Baek.
Let's talk.
About what?
Why aren't you answering my calls?
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
What? I shouldn't be okay?
That's not what I meant.
I think that's what Ah Jeong was alluding to.
Kang Baek.
Why did you run after me? What do you want to talk about?
I just wanted...
to make sure that you were okay.
I was worried if you had been sleeping and eating well.
I'm fine.
That's why I'm coming to school and studying for my exams.
I have a whole group of people at home, worrying about me...
when I skip a meal, so don't be one of them.
I'll get going if that's all.
Kang Baek.
The culprit...
Wouldn't that person be the culprit?
What?
I think you and I might be the only ones who know.
Should we tell the police?
Oh, that.
What do you think?
No?
Gosh, right. We might be wrong.
This is driving me crazy.
What do we do?
Someone else might be the culprit, not the person we have in mind.
Who? Who are you talking about?
Me.
What?
I also wished that she was dead too.
(Are you happy that I'm gone?)
(Professor Na Geun Woo)
Are you happy that I'm gone?
Are you happy that I'm dead?
- Hello. - Hello.
(The law is harsh, but it is the law.)
"The law is harsh, but it is the law."
Who here still thinks this was said by Socrates?
I hope none of you here thinks that.
All right. I'll cut some slack for you.
Only recently this was removed from our textbooks.
In 2004, the Constitutional Court stated...
that abiding by the law was based on...
the just law and proper execution of the law.
Afterwards, this saying was removed from our textbooks.
Just like someone once said,
being just means knowing whom to criticize.
I'll quote a line from a book, "A Good Discriminator."
"The world is still..."
- No way. - What?
What's this about?
We're in the middle of class.
This...
Which one of the two is it?
(Han Hye Ryul)
(Brother-in-law)
Won Kyung. It's me, Moo Ryul.
The man in Hong Nan Hee's photo on the internet.
Isn't that Kang Baek?
What are you talking about? Kang Baek?
Look at this. Older Mi Ja.
What do you think?
Who is that?
You remember her, right?
The girl Kang Baek brought home the other day.
- She's dead. - What?
She must have been too arrogant.
What do you think?
Would the guys be sad or scared now?
(Payment Note for Large Trash Disposal)
Goodness. Hello.
What do you think you're doing here?
Get out.
Ma'am.
I'm in charge of the recent case.
I'm Detective Ji Gu Won of the Regional Investigation Unit.
So what?
A detective must stay within the scene of the crime.
This isn't the scene of the crime. This is my office.
If you want to interview me, set up an appointment.
If I did, I wouldn't be able to see this.
Gosh, hold on.
Wait. These are completely new!
I'm still using my old computer that barely turns on.
Can I ask you why you're throwing them out?
Watch what you say. You're in my office.
Is your office considered sacred or something?
The storage device broke down on the day of the incident.
So there's no security footage.
I was so frustrated. That's why I came here to see you.
And of all times, you're throwing out your computer.
And the director of the university is busy trying to kick me out...
instead of welcoming me.
Gosh. You're hurting my feelings.
I'm not in charge of the security footage.
If you need my help, go through the proper channels.
And proceed with the written request.
This is my place of work.
This isn't some reception area where I listen to your frustration.
I can't afford to get wrapped up in this distraction.
I have way too much work.
How odd.
People show a sense of desperation...
when they lose even small items like a bicycle.
But you don't seem desperate to solve this case at all.
You look like you don't want to catch the culprit...
when one of your students was murdered.
(Director Ham Gwang Jeon)
What are you talking about?
The culprit must be arrested. You must catch the culprit.
That's your job, isn't it?
Of course, it is.
It's my duty to find out the culprit.
Were you busy yesterday?
Yes, my mother wanted to see me.
Didn't you say she lived in Gangwon Province?
In Yangyang.
I see.
You went to Yangyang?
I just told you.
My mother wanted to see me.
That's what I told you clearly.
Right. You went to Yangyang out of the blue...
How did the meeting go with her?
- Pardon? - How did it go?
I don't understand what you're asking me now.
- Are you recording this? - Maybe you're recording it.
I didn't know there was no trust between you and me.
I learned from the best.
So you have nothing on you?
Am I supposed to have something?
Attorney Nam. You sound like a different person.
Did you resolve the issue without a problem?
What do you mean?
What issue must I resolve?
Senior Prosecutor Han's suspension.
Oh, that.
I guess you had another problem to solve.
A girl is dead.
And the murderer is nearby.
But I'm surrounded by people...
who will pin the murder on me if they get a chance.
So I'm trying to stay focused and to keep myself safe.
Gosh, I must be careful around everyone.
Hey.
Is present all you care about? What about your future?
I'll consider that...
once it's confirmed that you're not the killer.
You crazy jerk.
- Exactly. - Right. I did this.
You don't have to make it look so obvious. I know.
I don't want to see you either. So I'll keep it short.
The murder case in the law school at MINGUK UNIVERSITY.
Is it true that she was dating Kang Baek?
Who said it was a murder case?
The autopsy report hasn't come out yet.
You're not denying that she was his girlfriend.
- That's... - I heard it from your sister.
It was more like blackmailing than talking.
So she came over to your house.
We got a divorce years ago. Why do you still talk to her?
Besides, you still don't know the legal condition for blackmail?
Should I give you a law book as a present?
Why are you here? Did you expect me to be nice to you?
- If you're angry, leave. - You know what?
I know you.
You may be able to fool the others, but not me.
There's something going on. I'm sure of it.
But I don't care.
I don't want to either.
I won't even be curious about what's going on with you.
But...
Kang Baek.
Our son.
If anything bad happens to Kang Baek...
Don't be ridiculous.
- What? - It's too late...
to act like you are something to him.
It's not even funny.
One more thing.
Nothing bad's going to happen to Kang Baek,
and I won't let anything happen to him.
He's under my protection, so...
I can't trust you.
Han Hye Ryul.
You're swayed.
I know you're trying to conceal the real problem...
by getting on my nerves on purpose.
Although I hate to admit,
you are spiteful and gutsy.
But not now.
So I will get involved.
I have the right to do so when it comes to Kang Baek.
Submit to it this time.
You must.
(Prosecutor Han Hye Ryul)
You should've asked your driver to carry it.
It was a hassle.
Did you have dinner?
It's past dinnertime, you see.
It feels like you didn't.
You look so frail.
Like those dancing balloons.
I'll make myself some ramyeon later.
That will upset Kang Baek.
Did he have dinner?
Younger Mi Ja is making...
his favourite mozzarella sandwiches right now.
I like sandwiches too.
Then take some from your son.
I'll take care of this.
Thank you.
If the sandwiches feel too heavy, just have the juice.
I added some aloe to help your digestion.
Should I bring the food for you?
- No, I've got this. - Okay.
Thank you.
Kang Baek.
Kang Baek, are you asleep?
Kang Baek.
Kang Baek!
Kang Baek, open the doors.
Kang Baek!
Kang Baek.
Kang Baek?
Kang Baek.
Kang Baek!
What is going on?
Kang Baek.
What's making you so scared and afraid?
I'm sorry, Mom.
What is wrong with me?
I understand.
This can happen.
It's okay.
I think I'm going crazy.
Let's go.
Are you feeling better now?
I'm all right now, Mom.
Thanks.
Look.
Kang Baek...
can take some time off from school, right?
- Take some time off from school? - Yes.
I'm going to let him write all he wants.
If he writes until he's sick of it,
he might be able to get back on track.
Your grandpa...
never condones such weakness.
Still, he's struggling too much.
He'll get over it in time.
And the girl's dead. It's even more unnecessary.
Mom.
Hye Ryul.
Snap out of it.
You knew he was suffering.
Even I was aware of it.
I bet you knew.
You just feigned ignorance.
It was for his sake.
But...
But this is...
I'm doing this for his sake too.
If he gives up now,
it will only do good for whom we already know.
Hye Ryul.
Look.
Unless we can leave this wealth,
it will all be meaningless.
Our dying effort to protect this...
will all be meaningless.
Let's go upstairs.
Today, take some pills and sleep tight.
I'm okay now. Thank you, Mom.
The pills will work soon, so lie down at ease.
Okay, I will.
Are you okay?
Are you worried about me?
Filthy scum.
When were you going to tell me?
How were you going to explain?
Did you not even care to think?
Were you just busy satisfying your desire?
Don't look away.
Look straight at me.
It must've been fun.
It must've been thrilling and exciting.
That secret affair must've pleased you even more.
I bet you enjoyed it so much.
Honey.
Shut your mouth.
Did you think I was unaware?
Did you really think I wouldn't know?
I could smell it so easily.
Your lust shouting for joy.
That filthy smell disgusted me.
I felt like throwing up. How was I not supposed to know?
Look at me.
Why did you do it when you can't even look at me?
What were you going to say after all this?
That it was a mistake?
This is different from dropping a cup.
Or what, did love run you over like a car accident?
Was it inevitable?
She was your student.
Professor Na, she was your student.
Now how dare you...
try to run your mouth?
You're despicable.
You are a hypocrite.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry for what? Tell me.
Give me an excuse. Explain it.
Persuade me.
I need to understand you to soothe this anger.
Why? Did you struggle?
Because of me, my mom, or this family?
Did I ignore what you were going through?
Were you the only one suffering? No, you weren't.
What about me?
In case you'd suffer...
In case you'd be in too much pain,
I anxiously tiptoed around you.
I felt sorry.
I struggled in pain with you, you piece of trash.
It was hard...
and painful for me too.
I felt the happiest when you consoled me.
But did you...
need someone else to console you?
That was just lust. Do you hear me?
I like what thrills me too, you son of a gun.
I just hold it back.
I know what's exciting and fun.
Have you ever...
imagined me in another man's arms,
screaming for joy and satisfaction?
I...
I was always in that nightmare.
It wasn't a mistake.
It was...
all my fault.
I couldn't hold myself back.
I was...
no better than this.
I'm truly sorry.
I'm expecting to face turmoil...
regarding the investigation against Jusung.
This is really important.
If it falls through, I will be doomed.
But...
my Kang Baek...
I'm so concerned about him.
I'm scared.
It's driving me crazy.
Don't ever let him find out about this.
And no matter what happens,
protect him.
Promise me.
Protect him no matter what.
I will.
I'm busy tomorrow. I need to sleep early.
From now on,
sleep in the reception room.
It's me.
I think the time that you mentioned has come.
It's time for us to take what we deserve and pay them back.
Just as much as they did to us.
I brought the newspaper.
Thank you.
(Seogeon Times)
I brought the newspaper.
Yes, come in.
Did you sleep well?
Yes, I took some pills last night.
I shouldn't make a habit of this.
It's okay...
as long as you don't develop a tolerance.
This evening, I'll get you some tea that helps sleep.
I'd appreciate that.
(The Beautiful Law School Student, Murdered Due to Hatred?)
Did Kang Baek read today's newspaper?
He hasn't come out of his room yet,
so he didn't read the newspaper,
but people read articles online these days.
(Who Is the Victim of MINGUK UNIVERSITY Murder?)
They're coming at the case like hyenas.
Look at these titles.
They're fighting to get more views.
They copy and paste the article with a few different words...
without checking whether it's true or not.
So they lure people with provocative titles.
They're more like fisher people, not reporters.
Are you going somewhere?
I'm going to do which you said no one's interested in.
I'm going to bring down those morons.
But you'll be at the team dinner, right?
All right, here.
- Gosh. - Thanks.
You must be so blessed, sir.
It started raining right when we finished playing.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Nice. - Goodness.
I've been to a lot of renowned golf ranges,
but no place is as good as Jusung's.
Paegol Beach?
It's known to have a nice landscape,
but the course itself can't be compared to Jusung's.
Maintenance comes first when it comes to golf clubs.
This is all thanks to you two.
Who knew...
there would be something stronger than dolphin and Jusung?
Other issues have gone out the window.
With this murder case,
the whole country is busy looking for the culprit.
It's not just a murder case.
A beautiful law school student...
who looked glamorous unlike her poor background.
Regardless of how it's titled,
people will find it sensational.
Come to think of it, she was your student.
Didn't she have any man problems?
People are talking about it everywhere, including the Internet.
Murder is often caused by money, grudges,
or love affairs.
She used to be so conceited and proud.
Hardly anything worked on her.
Oh, really?
I guess she rejected him.
Oh, please. She was a student.
How inappropriate of you, sir.
- Goodness. - Come on.
Nan Hee was...
I mean, the dead student.
She was probably going out with Kang Baek.
Prosecutor Han Hye Ryul's son.
The body shows lacerations, a skull fracture,
hypodermic bleeding, sub-arachnoid haemorrhage, and others.
The back of her right head was stricken hard with a weapon,
which caused arteriorrhexis.
Did you find her bloodstains near the lake?
That must be where she was attacked.
As for the weapon,
could it be the iron pipe that we sent you last time?
Oh, the one you found in the lake?
Yes, he dived in himself to find it.
Considering the shapes of her lacerations and fracture,
it's highly likely that a similar iron pipe was used.
Because it was submerged,
you wouldn't be able to find any of her bloodstains on it,
not to mention her fingerprints.
It's an ordinary iron pipe,
so it may be irrelevant to the case.
In any case, the victim was killed with an iron pipe.
Is that correct?
It's true she was attacked with an iron pipe.
But the direct cause was drowning.
During the autopsy, I saw her lungs swollen with water.
And planktons were found in the tissues of her body.
But because of the arteriorrhexis,
the victim would've died even if she had been left alone.
But this is such a strange case.
In what way?
Considering the bleeding amount and bloodstains,
I can't be so sure,
but it seems like she was drowned a while after the attack.
Let alone that,
do you see this scar on her forehead?
A piece of wood was found in it.
What? A piece of wood?
I don't understand.
If a piece of wood is found in a straight laceration like this,
it means bumping against furniture.
So I can assume she got this wound by bumping against furniture...
and that the piece of wood got stuck in it.
But there were no wooden structures near the scene, right?
Yes, that's correct.
Then I guess she got the wound...
by something that happened indoors, where there were furniture pieces.
So you believe that this wound has nothing to do with the murder?
That's right.
But it doesn't look like it was treated at all.
I mean, she didn't have to go into the ER to get it stitched,
but she should've disinfected it and put a bandage on it at least.
Other than that, there aren't many clues left.
Most evidence was damaged or washed away by the water.
Also,
no foreign DNA was found under the fingernails...
or inside the body.
Doctor, if she drowned...
Do you think the victim suffered a lot of pain?
The bereaved often ask me about that.
However, the arteriorrhexis was quite severe,
so it's highly likely that she was unconscious at the time.
If she was indeed unconscious, she probably didn't feel any pain.
But I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not.
She was going to die anyway.
So why was she thrown into the lake?
And on top of that, what's with the time gap?
Is that what you're most curious about?
I want to know where she got the wound on her forehead.
Her forehead?
She was hit with a blunt weapon and was thrown into the lake,
but hurt her forehead somewhere indoors.
- Her movements don't make sense. - Movements?
She was supposed to meet with the reporter at 11pm...
but left her dorm room way before that, at 9:30pm.
They were supposed to meet on campus.
It takes less than 20 minutes to get there.
It means she had something else to do before meeting the reporter.
And she hurt her forehead while taking care of that?
That is the only plausible explanation.
And the location where she was found too.
What about it?
She was supposed to meet with the reporter over there.
And the dormitory is over there.
She didn't have to pass the lake.
Then where did she go?
We combed through all the security footage...
and confirmed that the victim did not leave the campus that night.
So whatever happened must've taken place inside the campus.
Oh, hello. We just got here too.
It was her, right?
- What? - Hong Nan Hee was the informant.
Yes, that's right.
Why are you still here?
She was killed trying to tip off.
You must find out who wanted to silence her and why.
Reporter Yoon, please calm down.
If you have time for this, go investigate Ham & Lee and Jusung.
You're leaking information about the investigation. What is this?
Hey, Yoon Eun Mi!
Everyone is busy running their mouth when they know nothing.
She was not that kind of person. I assure you.
You see, this could get you into trouble.
It is fishy. I know that too.
But there's nothing I can do based on my speculation alone.
If you keep this up, the real culprit will hide,
and an innocent person will fall under suspicion.
You know, everyone has a secret.
Not everyone with a hammer is looking for a nail to hit.
We're going to interview the victim's friends later today.
They're well-versed in the law...
and will take a strong stance against the media,
so don't worry too much.
You'll tell me whatever you find out, right?
Yes, as long as I don't overstep my bounds.
Don't worry too much.
My gosh. Someone killed her and dumped her body in the lake.
It's so scary.
Whoever did it must be a psychopath.
I mean, why else would someone want...
to kill a person and advertise it?
Guys, maybe the killer is watching us,
getting a kick out of our reaction.
It was likely done on the spur of the moment or caused by negligence.
Premeditated murders aren't common.
Hey, no.
The lake is far from here, but we can see it when the sun comes up.
It was clearly premeditated.
Maybe the killer wanted to show someone... No.
Did the killer want to send some kind of message to the whole nation?
Hey, what if this is a serial murder case?
Hey, stop watching YouTube videos about bizarre conspiracy theories.
Well, psychopaths aren't the only ones that commit murders.
It could've been a crime of passion.
- You know, Nan Hee was... - What?
Well, wasn't it obvious to everyone?
What was obvious?
Nan Hee and Kang Baek were seeing each other.
Why are you bringing up Kang Baek now?
Watch what you say.
Your statement is false, so this is considered slander.
You all want to take the bar exam, don't you?
Hey, aren't you embarrassed?
Do you really want to speak of your dead classmate in that manner?
Gosh, I only stated a fact. Look at you ganging up on me.
Kang Baek kept visiting Nan Hee's dorm room.
So what?
What's the big deal about it?
Just so you know, I use that room too.
It's my room too. Nan Hee wasn't the only one who used that room.
Hold on.
Did anyone here not know that something was going on...
between Kang Baek and Nan Hee?
Answer my question. Did anyone here not know?
Hey, you.
You also thought something was definitely going on. Say something.
- Hey, stop. - What a moron.
- What did you say? - I said, "What a moron."
I know Kang Baek better than anybody else does.
Who are you to run your mouth like that?
Moron? Who am I...
to run my mouth like this?
Hey, Jang Ji Yi.
I'm four years older than you. Have you forgotten?
Then act your age.
I got into law school as soon as I graduated,
yet you took four years just to get in.
Why talk such nonsense about Kang Baek and Nan Hee...
and get bashed by someone who is four years younger than you?
You little...
Please!
Let me study.
Will you?
She is...
causing trouble even after she died.
Hello, excuse me.
We're here to investigate the Hong Nan Hee case.
You all have a moment to spare, right?
I'm sorry, but the exams are just around the corner,
and we don't really know anything.
But your friend died...
She was our classmate.
It doesn't mean we were friends.
I'm not sure if I can be of any help, but you can ask me.
Although I already told you everything I know.
Yesterday, I asked you about...
There's...
There's someone I'm suspecting.
Well... That day, I...
Don't worry. He won't say anything about you.
But still...
Kyung Yoon...
can't really say anything about that day.
We were...
I told you to keep a close watch on the whistleblower.
What will you do if we can't get the statement?
They were sure about it up until last week,
- but they suddenly... - Last week?
Then you should've wrapped it up last week!
I'm sorry. It was...
Don't even try to list excuses.
Hey, just quit being a prosecutor if you're going to keep this up.
I'll try to persuade them again.
That's not good enough.
Persuade them no matter what and get their statement!
Yes, ma'am.
Get out. Why are you standing there?
Hye Ryul.
You know, you let me borrow this thing the other day.
I transferred all the files...
in the USB flash drive just in case.
To be prepared for anything.
(Hongyeon Engineering)
Ms. Han. CEO Hong Tae Hoon of Hongyeon Engineering.
You still don't get it, do you?
You can keep it.
No, it's not that.
It had less storage space than I'd thought.
I thought it was odd, so I looked into it.
Turns out,
there's a hacking program installed on this thing.
What?
You said you got this from the student who interned here.
The one who died, Hong Nan Hee. Right?
(To Professor Na Geun Woo)
- Did you have fun? - Of course.
IL.
What brings you here at this hour?
Because I couldn't reach you.
Let's grab a drink.
How's Ji Yi?
She must be busy studying.
Don't get me started.
She says she's studying and comes home late every night.
I feel bad for her.
It feels like just yesterday when she called me unkle...
because she couldn't say uncle properly.
Time flies.
Are you really going to make her a prosecutor?
Who knows?
She wants to be,
but she's too tender-hearted.
But I'm sure...
you're not here to ask that.
What is it?
Why did you come to see me when we meet every day?
Can I say we share the common destiny?
- What? - I heard you're getting nominated.
Whether it's the parliament or Blue house,
you said you'd take me with you.
I lost Han Hye Ryul's favour because I got involved with you.
I'm labelled as the government patronized prosecutor.
When I look at the situation,
I'll end up in prison before I get the gold badge.
Weren't you ready for it before you jumped into politics?
It's do or die.
Every moment is...
sink or swim.
IL.
Even if you go down,
a reliable fence will make you feel secure.
I think now is the time.
It's the right time.
Let's get Ji Yi married.
You should leave. It's late.
Besides,
Ji Yi is crazy about Kang Baek.
I'll talk sense into her.
What changed your mind all of a sudden?
It's what you wanted.
What about you?
Why are you pushing it?
What about me?
Kang Baek and Hong Nan Hee were in a relationship.
The country is investigating her murder.
Whose name do you think will be mentioned?
IL.
How can you say that?
I heard that rumour too. That they dated.
But that's not confirmed.
Besides, do you really think Kang Baek did that?
Is that it?
IL. It's Kang Baek.
You're a prosecutor. You know it.
How women normally get killed.
How can you say that?
And you?
How can you say that?
Since when did you like my Ji Yi so much?
The right time? Timing?
Do I look like a joke to you, you prick?
Do I?
What do you take my daughter for?
Get out. Get out of my house.
Never show your face to me again.
Or I'm going to kill you.
Gosh.
IL.
Kang Baek didn't do it.
But what about Ji Yi?
Ji Yi did it.
I haven't told anyone yet.
Not even to Han Hye Ryul or Kang Baek.
But now you're talking like Kang Baek has a flaw.
That upsets me.
- Won Kyung. That's... - IL.
Right now is the right time.
After this,
not only just Ham & Lee,
but she won't be able to marry anyone.
Think...
what's best for Ji Yi.
Even if her father is a chief prosecutor,
who would want a drug addict as their daughter-in-law?
Thank you for your work. You may go home.
Yes. Have a good night.
You know, you let me borrow this thing the other day.
I thought it was odd, so I looked into it.
Turns out,
there's a hacking program installed on this thing.
You said you got this from Hong Nan Hee, didn't you?
What do you know?
What do you have?
I don't know what you're saying.
How about this?
Were you on her side?
What were you two after?
You even hurt Kang Baek.
You jerk.
This isn't what you wanted?
What's that supposed to mean?
No. Whatever.
You don't need to answer me.
Can you just stop it now?
Please.
Please!
If I stop here,
I'll die.
Then die.
Die!

Kang Baek's a murderer?
The murderer isn't fixed.
Whose name did you give the detective as a culprit?
It's not you? Where were you that night?
After today, don't bring up Kang Baek's name.
I'm marrying him.
Protecting Kang Baek is our highest priority.
Is it you? The person who killed Hong Nan Hee?
Isn't the answer obvious?
Buy someone who's even willing to kill people.
Help me...
I killed Nan Hee!
