ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS, RELIGIONS, ORGANIZATIONS,
AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.
Don't.
Don't think about anything.
None of this...
is your fault.
It just...
happened.
It just did.
FINAL EPISODE
You have a scar on your neck.
There must have been a struggle.
It looks like I have no way out of this.
How did you show up at that dramatic moment?
Did that jerk call you?
He's a smart one.
He was deliberately trying to make me look like a murderer.
Tell me the truth.
You sensed it too, didn't you?
I'm right, aren't I?
Come on.
SEOBU POLICE STATION
The NFS...
did an autopsy on the victim...
and found the DNA...
of the victim on the clothes and under the nails...
of Mr. Oh, the suspect that was arrested at the site.
Did the suspect admit to the murder?
No, we haven't gotten a confession yet.
The police are suspicious of foul play, right?
We can't give you a definite answer...
because we are still under investigation.
You haven't shared the motive during the briefing.
Since we don't have hard evidence that it was murder...
If you arrested the suspect at the site,
shouldn't you assume he is the killer?
And you know what his motive was.
Mr. Yoo wrote an article that made the suspect look bad...
and that's why the suspect killed Mr. Yoo. Am I wrong?
We can't...
jump to conclusions and...
Mr. Yoo Jeong Seok was a senior at my company.
A reporter was murdered because of an article he wrote.
That's a fact.
If you don't admit to the fact, we reporters...
will raise suspicion...
of the interference of someone on the outside.
My lawyer read all the articles related to me and contacted me.
I hear that the reporters are standing together...
and accusing me of murder.
That's what Yoo Jeong Seok wanted.
He doesn't want to be remembered as a murderer,
but an honest reporter...
that became a victim to a murderer.
If Yoo Jeong Seok committed suicide as you said,
how do you have his DNA under your nails...
and how does he have your DNA on his clothes?
How will you explain that?
Is this how you framed Lee Dae Chul for murder?
You scumbag!
Do Chang.
How dare you say his name!
Do you know what you did to him, you piece of crap?
I'll pretend you didn't hit me.
If you admit...
that you hate me so much you want to kill me.
Isn't that right?
You hate me because of what I did to Lee Dae Chul, right?
That's why you're trying to frame me and put me in jail.
Isn't that right?
Did Oh Jong Tae admit to it?
Of course not. He will never confess to murder.
This is frustrating.
So what is he saying?
He said Yoo Jeong Seok committed suicide. That's ridiculous.
Why would he cause a scene like that instead of dying quietly alone?
Have you ever seen a suicide like this?
Didn't you get anything from the CCTVs or dashcams?
No, there was no footage of the site.
What about other evidence?
The only thing we have is that foul play was involved.
Then let's conclude that it was murder,
but we can't eliminate the possibility of suicide.
So investigate it from that point of view too.
If we don't find anything,
we'll indict him and hand him over to the prosecution.
The harassment of reporters is killing me.
This is unbelievable.
What?
Did you just say something?
I AM A MURDERER
Could...
the reporters Jeong Seok worked with be at a disadvantage...
because of what happened?
No, we won't.
That's a relief.
I'm sure...
you were quite disappointed with Jeong Seok, Ms. Jin.
I know...
how you trusted and looked up to him.
Mr. Yoo...
handled everything before dying.
For that,
I have to say he is the person I had always known.
Did Jeong Seok...
say anything to you before he died?
He said he has something he has to take responsibility for.
I see.
He wanted to take responsibility...
for what he did.
I AM A MURDERER
What are you going to do? Should I go home first?
Yoo Jeong Seok must have known...
Oh Jong Tae couldn't be punished for the Lee Dae Chul case.
Oh Jong Tae will get the maximum sentence...
for aiding and abetting murder and the murder of Yoo Jeong Seok.
Could that be what Yoo Jeong Seok wanted?
So?
Are you saying...
Yoo Jeong Seok framed Oh Jong Tae for his murder on purpose?
It could be his way of apologizing for what he did to Lee Dae Chul.
Hey.
Do you think Yoo Jeong Seok has that much of a conscious?
He killed two people...
and conspired against Lee Dae Chul...
to get him executed.
Do you think he'd repent now...
just because his wrongdoings are about to be revealed?
Yoo Jeong Seok is no better than Oh Jong Tae.
He could actually be worse.
Why do we have to pretend he did something nice at the end?
Of course, you're right.
He should've done something before Lee Dae Chul was executed.
You can go home.
I'll call Reporter Jin and meet her before going home.
She's the last person Yoo Jeong Seok spoke to on the phone.
I think we should ask what they talked about.
Even if...
This is just an "if".
Even if Yoo Jeong Seok...
manipulated this case,
I'm going to turn a blind eye...
and do what he wanted me to.
I'll go along with it.
You can blame me as a cop,
but don't blame me as a human being.
Before we hand the case over to the prosecution tomorrow,
I had to check something with you first.
What is it you want to know?
Why do you think Mr. Yoo died?
Why do you ask that question?
You said Mr. Yoo felt that his life was in danger before he died,
but why do you think...
he met Oh Jong Tae?
I was wondering if he tipped you off.
He said to consider it murder and investigate it...
if he happened to die.
Anything else?
I think he was trying to talk Oh Jong Tae into confessing.
He wrote an article to confess to his crime...
to carry out his sense of duty as a reporter.
Then he met Oh Jong Tae, another murderer, to prove...
the innocence of Lee Dae Chul, who was wrongfully executed.
He fails to talk him into admitting to the murder,
they get into a fight and ends up getting killed.
This is the truth about this case.
Do you really think so?
Ms. Jin,
if the real truth...
shows favor to an evil person,
is there any reason to reveal that truth?
Don't rely on alcohol too much.
Instead of drinking,
you should believe in yourself.
I'll call you later. Thank you.
After the late Mr. Yoo Jeong Seok of Jeonghan Daily...
confessed to murders in his article,
the public is demanding an investigation...
into the recent execution of Lee Dae Chul.
Petitions have been pouring in asking the authorities...
to declare Lee Dae Chul's innocence and find the real culprit.
Some are pointing out...
the problems of our judicial system...
that surfaced during his retrial process.
The judicial authorities are presumed...
to be considering...
declaring Lee Dae Chul's innocence...
and compensating his family.
Recently, a food company employee...
was fired after being accused of power abuse.
He filed a lawsuit, claiming his dismissal was unfair.
Thank you for keeping your promise.
Eun Hye.
Can you promise me one more thing?
From now on,
live only for yourself.
No one else but yourself.
Can you promise me one thing too?
Stop feeling guilty about what happened to me and my dad...
and live only for yourself.
Guys.
Aren't you ashamed of yourselves? Don't you feel any guilt?
Gosh, you're shameless.
Stop trying. You're done for.
Take him away.
Our work is done now.
Let's get back to our usual tasks.
The convenience store got robbed again.
If we fail to catch the culprit this time, we're doomed.
Understood?
Answer me!
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Hey. You met Jin Seo Gyeong yesterday, right?
What did she say?
Did she say anything strange?
No, nothing special.
Don't get swayed.
We did our job as impartially as we could, okay?
I wonder what's going through Jong Tae's mind right now.
I'm sure he's thinking about how to get out.
He probably can't help but think about...
the wrongful execution of Lee Dae Chul.
INCHEON DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
You didn't kill Yoo Jeong Seok,
but he killed himself?
That's right.
And then the alleged instigation of the murder of Park Gun Ho.
- Yes. - Combined,
your sentence will be quite heavy.
To be honest,
you have a slim chance of being acquitted from both charges.
In addition, the presiding judge is known for...
being sensitive to public opinion.
How about we give up on one of the charges?
Are you telling me to make a compromise?
No, not necessarily.
Stand your ground if you believe you'll be acquitted.
Ironic, right?
At the retrial, I helped you without intending to.
But the situation has changed.
Why don't you be consistent...
and help me this time too?
There's no need to change your position now.
It's not that I want to.
But considering the higher-ups' position...
What brings you here, Mr. Kim?
- I stopped by out of curiosity. - I see.
Is this man the suspect in this case?
Yes.
Don't think you can be acquitted...
by denying your charges.
Admitting to your charges to some degree...
may bring you better results at the trial.
- Well then. - Bye.
Mr. Kim.
Are you leading the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office now?
Yes, that's right.
You being back here...
is a good thing for me, right?
Have we met before?
I don't remember meeting you.
Am I being rude here?
Good luck, Mr. Jeong.
Don't forget this is the first case since I got back.
You have to do it right.
You can rest assured.
Just so you know,
Mr. Kim and Yoo Jeong Seok went to the same school...
back in their hometown.
I guess you're unlucky this time.
Jeong Seok wanted to see me...
on the night before he died.
He said he had something to tell me.
Why did he want to see you?
He was aware that I'd be leading the District Prosecutors' Office.
And?
What did he say to you?
I'm writing an article right now.
I'll write about everything Oh Jong Tae did.
Do you remember...
what you said to me and Reporter Jin at the church the other day?
Hey, like I said,
I had no choice in that situation.
Anyway, the story wouldn't make sense if I leave you out.
Jeong Seok, why do you have to...
I'll write that I killed Jo Seong Gi and Jang Jin Soo too.
What?
Those cases are buried unless you confess.
Just let them remain that way.
Why would you confess?
I've been meaning to do it for a long time.
I don't...
want them to weigh down on me anymore.
It's my choice.
Please respect it.
You haven't handed over the article yet, have you?
Please reconsider it.
Think about you and your brother's future.
When you're back at the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office,
don't worry about me and focus on...
bringing Oh Jong Tae to justice...
even if you have to frame him.
Why? Why do you have to do this?
You'll find out later...
why I'm going after Oh Jong Tae.
I mean... Why?
I'll leave you out of the article.
That's what I can give you in return.
Have you talked to Jeong Ryeol about this?
He'll...
understand me even if I don't tell him.
No one knows me better than he does.
YOO JEONG SEON
He also knows...
where I want to be...
YOO JEONG SEOK
when this is all over.
YOO JEONG SEOK
What's going on?
Minister Yoo Jeong Ryeol...
is going to make a statement about Mr. Yoo's death shortly.
MINISTER YOO'S STATEMENT ON HIS BROTHER'S DEATH
I'm Minister of Justice Yoo Jeong Ryeol.
The recent death of Yoo Jeong Seok of Jeonghan Daily...
hurt me and my family deeply.
As the Minister of Justice,
I sincerely apologize that my family member...
shocked the country.
He could have let us publish this as an exclusive story.
Be quiet.
My brother, Yoo Jeong Seok, is a murderer.
Killing a person is a crime that cannot be tolerated...
under any circumstances.
I feel...
MINISTER APOLOGIZES FOR HIS FAMILY MEMBER'S CRIME
deeply responsible for my brother's crime.
To take responsibility,
I announce my resignation as the Minister of Justice as of today.
Oh Jong Tae's attorney is claiming that the victim killed himself.
What do you think?
It's hard to completely disregard.
It's not going to be easy.
You're a strategist, aren't you?
Isn't that what got you here?
Your motive for instigating the murder of Park Gun Ho is clear.
But this was already dealt with at the retrial,
so the evidence regarding Yoon Ji Sun will be difficult to work with.
The Minister of Justice stepped down because of his brother.
The Yoo Jeong Seok case will be handled in a way...
that's respectful to the Minister.
I think it'll be easier to be cleared of the charges...
regarding Yoo Jeong Seok rather than Park Gun Ho.
You're complicating things.
I didn't kill Yoo Jeong Seok.
You'll see that...
once you look into it.
Think about it.
That's all I can say.
One more thing, Mr. Oh.
The death penalty hasn't been abolished yet.
Keep that in mind.
I didn't expect you to come.
SEOBU DETENTION HOUSE
Thank you.
I haven't known you for long,
but I think you always try to see the truth impartially.
That's right.
That's why I tried to prove that you're the real culprit.
You sure are gutsy.
You know...
what kind of person Yoo Jeong Seok was.
He was a wonderful man.
I'm sure you understand why he did such a thing...
up until his final moments.
When reporters know the truth, they must write an article about it.
That's what you can do for his own sake.
He sacrificed his life...
to make me stand in the courtroom as a murderer.
But if...
the case is closed as homicide,
no one will come to understand his honorable intentions.
You have to uncover it, don't you think?
As a reporter, you ought to uncover the truth.
If you...
continue to be silent even though you know the truth,
you'll beat yourself up for the rest of your life.
Thank you for your advice. I was torn.
I would've ended up living with regrets for the rest of my life.
Exactly.
A reporter's job is to unearth the truth.
But I just had an inkling...
that "the truth" might end up destroying my life.
If I help a scumbag like you,
I'll deeply regret it for the rest of my life.
So for my own sake, you must be convicted of the murder.
Do you realize that you're admitting you were in on this with your boss?
I don't care about that.
I simply made a choice that will make my life easier.
I will stay silent even if I know anything.
Just like the time when I kept my mouth shut...
even though I knew Lee Dae Chul was getting executed...
in your place.
Detective Kang, I'm sure you're not fond of me...
because of Lee Dae Chul's retrial.
How can I be fond of you?
Well, I like that you're honest.
You went above and beyond for Lee Dae Chul's retrial.
This time, Oh Jong Tae will pay for everything he did, right?
This case has nothing to do with the retrial.
We believe that we investigated the case as objectively as possible.
I'll be honest.
There isn't enough solid evidence to conclude it as a homicide.
Please try to find more concrete evidence.
Only then can we put Oh Jong Tae behind bars.
Mr. Prosecutor, you'd like to win this case...
at all costs, right?
Yes, I'd like to.
Then admit what you did wrong...
at Lee Dae Chul's retrial.
Then you'll win this trial.
What? What did I do wrong?
You know that Lee Dae Chul should've been found not guilty.
If you admit and reveal it during this trial,
then you'll be able to put Oh Jong Tae behind bars.
How's that going to benefit me though?
You'll become a conscientious prosecutor...
and win the trial.
"A conscientious prosecutor"?
That won't be bad.
- My gosh! - Goodness.
- Oh, dear. - How cruel.
- How could he do such a thing? - My gosh.
- I can't believe this. - My goodness!
- He killed him! - Gosh.
How could he do this?
- My gosh! - No!
- Look! - No!
- My gosh. - Unbelievable.
- Goodness. - That murderer.
He's a murderer!
- Did you see that? - My goodness.
This dashcam footage shows Yoo Jeong Seok...
murdering Jo Seong Gi and Jang Jin Soo.
Your Honor, this trial is for defendant Oh Jong Tae.
That footage has nothing to do with this case.
Counsel, what is the reason you are showing us this footage?
My client came into possession of this footage...
just before Yoo Jeong Seok's death.
Upon acquiring this footage, he sent it...
to Yoo Jeong Seok right away...
to encourage him to repent of what he had done and turn himself in.
- Your Honor, this is... - Counsel.
You may continue.
Thank you.
After watching this, Yoo Jeong Seok...
requests a meeting with the defendant.
His call history confirms this.
And just so you know,
the police haven't acquired this footage yet.
- I see. - I see.
Why has the defendant concealed this footage until now?
This graphic footage shows the actual violent acts of murder,
so he hid it as he was afraid it'd damage the deceased's honor.
At the time of the incident, Yoo Jeong Seok...
asked the defendant to destroy this footage,
but he refused to do so.
The two of them tussled...
because Yoo Jeong Seok was trying to take this footage from him...
while he wanted to disclose it.
The argument led to a tussle.
And in the end, Yoo Jeong Seok...
realized that he wouldn't be able to convince the defendant.
That deep sense of despair made him jump over the bridge.
- Gosh. - My goodness.
- So it wasn't a homicide, then. - Goodness.
Oh, dear.
Witness.
You've been trying...
to find the real culprit ever since Lee Dae Chul was executed.
And at the moment,
you're in charge of the case involving the defendant.
Correct.
Then as the lead detective of the case,
what's your thought on the defendant's claim...
that the victim took his own life?
Oh Jong Tae killed Yoon Ji Sun.
Then he bribed the lead detective...
and manipulated the case.
After that, he ordered the murder of Park Gun Ho...
and once again bribed the lead detective of the case...
to stage the murder as a suicide.
- My goodness. - It has already been proven...
by all the evidence that the police submitted.
Oh Jong Tae,
who has been evading the law through manipulation and bribery,
is now claiming that the victim took his own life.
Letting him...
fool us once again...
will be like killing Lee Dae Chul,
who was wrongfully executed, one more time.
Okay, well understood.
I was the prosecutor who handled Lee Dae Chul's retrial.
If I, the prosecutor who got Lee Dae Chul executed,
admit that he should've been found not guilty...
and claim that the defendant manipulated the case,
it'll certainly have a detrimental effect on my career.
However,
I'd like to tell the truth before all of you...
for the sake of my conscience as a prosecutor.
Lee Dae Chul should've been found not guilty.
- What? - My gosh.
Everything...
was manipulated by the real culprit, Oh Jong Tae.
- Unbelievable. - Goodness gracious.
- How's this possible? - Gosh.
- My goodness. - Oh, boy.
How could this happen?
You can e-mail me the details with your contact information.
I'll go through the information and be in touch.
Okay.
Isn't Oh Jong Tae's trial happening today?
Yes, I sent the legal team over.
Shouldn't you cover it yourself?
I mean, you know more about it than anybody else does.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can cover it.
All right, I get it.
Ordering the murder of Park Gun Ho.
Guilty.
The murder of Yoo Jeong Seok, guilty.
Order. Defendant Oh Jong Tae...
is sentenced to imprisonment for life.
- Good. - It serves him right.
Order. Defendant Oh Jong Tae is sentenced to imprisonment for life.
- Good. - It serves him right.
- He deserves a death sentence. - Seriously.
- He should be getting... - Totally.
No one here has the right to criticize me.
You're all just like me.
- What on earth? - How dare he?
- Get out! - Enough!
- How could he say that? - Unbelievable.
Okay, good job.
Attention, everyone!
He's been found guilty on all the charges.
Oh Jong Tae received a life sentence!
- Nice! - Finally!
My gosh.
Only one bottle left.
Hey.
Do you want to drink this with me?
- No, I'll pass. - Come on. Have some.
- Okay? - No, it's okay.
Why do you keep soju in the office?
I weirdly feel empty inside...
when a case is solved.
I feel better if I drink a bottle of soju...
by myself before going home.
When I was busy, I'd drink up to 4 to 5 bottles a month,
but I didn't have any reason to drink it lately...
and didn't stock up on it.
Do Chang.
- Yes? - I have a question.
What is it now?
It makes me nervous when you say you have a question.
So what is it?
You saw the video in court.
What about it?
It's evidence that Yoo Jeong Seok is the murderer.
What more do you need?
The video...
Where did it come from?
Forget it. I've come to my limit.
Once I open a bottle of soju,
that's the end of a case. The end.
What are you doing here?
Are you here to see your mom?
I'm sorry, but your mom left to find work today.
Should I call and ask her to come home early?
No, I'll just leave.
Hey, Kim Jae Woong.
Why didn't you go to school today?
You can't skip school like this.
It'll break your mom's heart.
We went on a picnic today,
but I didn't want to go so I skipped out.
Why? Are you sick?
Why didn't you go on the picnic?
I'm not sick. I just...
didn't want to go.
I see.
Then do you want to go somewhere with me?
- Did you tell your dad? - No.
What if he finds out?
I'll take you home after you finish this.
I'm sure your dad will have a fit if he finds out you skipped school.
- I don't have to go home. - Why not?
Dad and the lady aren't home.
They don't even come home.
Did they go on a trip...
and leave you behind?
Talk to me.
Why aren't they coming home?
She had a baby.
The baby is too young,
so she and Dad have to stay with the baby.
They must be at a postpartum care center.
Do you sleep by yourself at home?
I don't believe it.
Then your dad must not know you're going on a picnic today.
You didn't want to go because he didn't pack anything for you, right?
It's because of the baby.
It's not because he doesn't care about me.
Jae Woong,
then why don't we play until late at night today?
No one plays with me nowadays, and I was really bored.
AUTOPSY REPORT
A STAB IN THE CHEST AND ABDOMEN WITH A WEAPON WAS FOUND.
This is Oh Ji Hyuk of Seobu Police Station.
I recently investigated the burned-out vehicle with you.
Yes, how are you?
I called to ask for a favor.
Yes, got it.
The convenience store thief was seen playing games at an Internet Cafe.
- What? - Let's go.
Let's go get him.
- All right. - Go on.
Yes, please call me as soon as you find out.
- Go on. - Bye.
Move it.
Stay focused.
Hey.
You have Jae Woong, don't you?
What are you talking about?
You have him, don't you? Tell me right now.
I won't let you get away with it this time.
I'll put you behind bars.
Why? Is Jae Woong missing?
Stop playing dumb. Where is he?
I should be asking you. Where is Jae Woong?
His school called...
and he didn't show up at school for the class picnic.
Where else would he go except to you?
He came to you, didn't he?
Did you call his judo gym?
Hey.
How did you know he was taking judo classes?
You met him, didn't you?
- Did you meet him? - That isn't the point.
Jae Woong has a phone. Did you try calling him?
- What is it? - Gosh.
He kept playing games on it, so I got rid of it.
Then did you call the parents of his friends' parents?
How would I know their numbers?
What about in the morning?
He must have said he was going on a picnic.
Did you scold him?
I didn't know he was going on a picnic...
until I got that call.
You didn't know he was going on a picnic?
Then you must not have packed him anything.
He went empty-handed...
to the class picnic, right?
Why do you care?
Jae Woong is my kid.
I'm going to raise him the way I want to.
I'll raise him on my terms and handle him the way...
I think I broke something.
How could you call yourself a dad?
Do you think you deserve to be a dad?
Wait, wait.
Have you talked to the owner of the car?
Is that so?
Does he have the USB of the dashcam footage?
Did he know the person he gave the USB to?
- Stop right there! - Catch him!
A detective?
Then does he remember who the detective is?
Stay still.
I see.
I'll send you a photo.
Could you check with the car owner?
- Stop squirming. - I have a photo on my phone,
so I'll send it right over.
Okay.
Who were you talking to...
that you couldn't hang up during work?
Who do you think...
- killed Detective Jang Jin Soo? - You're still hung up on that?
Please forget about the things you should forget.
You're unbelievable.
Hello.
So?
What did you do to him?
Wait here for a minute.
I'll go in with you.
You don't know what you might do to her ex-husband.
I was seriously considering calling the police,
but told her to call you.
I won't press charges one last time.
I want you to give up custody in exchange...
and stop giving me a headache.
Seriously.
Why did you do that?
He said Jae Woong is missing.
He took away Jae Woong's phone.
If Jae Woong is gone,
shouldn't you be looking for him first?
I talked to Eun Hye.
She has him.
She'll bring him home.
How scared must Eun Hee have been...
to hear Jae Woong is missing?
I don't care about anything else.
I just want this to end.
Let's never see one another again.
- Jae Woong. - Hey!
What do you think you're doing?
This is a violation of the restraining order. You hear me?
Come here, Jae Woong.
How dare you!
Was what you did right or wrong?
It was wrong.
Did you meet your mom or not?
How does your mom know you're taking judo classes?
Did you meet her or not?
He didn't meet me.
A friend runs the gym, and I found out through him.
Did you meet her or not?
You'll get in trouble if you lie to me!
I met her.
When did we meet, Jae Woong?
When I was sleeping,
Mom came to see me.
Mom came to see me,
but I pretended to be sleeping...
and kept my eyes closed.
Didn't I tell you your mom will get arrested...
if you met her?
I'm sorry, Dad.
Please don't let her get arrested.
Honey, please.
I was wrong.
It's my fault. Don't scold him.
I'll give up custody.
I won't ask for anything.
I won't ever see him again.
Please...
just be good to Jae Woong.
As long as you're good to him,
I won't ask for anything else.
Please.
I'll forgive you today,
so don't you ever meet your mom again. Okay, Jae Woong?
Come on.
Why didn't you go on the picnic, Jae Woong?
You didn't even tell me.
He couldn't tell you because you weren't home.
I heard the woman you live with had a baby.
You weren't able to take care of Jae Woong...
because you were taking care of her and the baby.
Why are you blaming Jae Woong?
What are you talking about?
Jae Woong, why would you say such a stupid thing?
Why is this stranger...
Hold on.
Have we met before?
You're the girl from the judo studio, right?
So you guys all teamed up?
So...
she already gave birth?
That makes sense.
The last time I saw her in front of her house,
her belly was already quite big.
When did you two get divorced again?
Less than six months ago.
So...
if the lady already gave birth,
it means they were already going out before that.
In other words, he was having an affair.
Hey, Kim Sang Soo.
What do you guys know?
It's not my baby.
She was already pregnant when I met her.
You.
Be honest. Don't lie.
Stay away.
Should I make a report?
Should I?
Get your facts straight first.
Saying things that you don't know are true...
is considered defamation.
You know that much, don't you?
Kim Sang Soo. Hey!
- You punk... - Do Chang, Jae Woong is here.
Let's not say things that can hurt him.
Gosh.
Yes.
If detectives come and ask about the baby,
just say you don't know anything.
Also, say that you met me less than three months ago.
If you don't, things can get complicated.
Jae Woong messed up by saying something unnecessary.
What?
It was just a mistake. How can you say that?
It's just that he's not good at lying.
Now that we have a baby together, do you want to send him away?
Is that it?
You said you'd consider him your son.
Forget it.
Hang up.
Jae Woong.
By any chance, are you worried...
that I'll favor your younger sibling over you later?
Are you angry because of that?
You don't feel comfortable around your stepmom yet, right?
I'm sorry, Jae Woong.
With the baby and everything,
I've been too busy to pay enough attention to you.
You're a big boy now.
I think you're ready to decide for yourself.
Tell me.
Who do you want to live with, me or Mom?
I'll respect your choice.
Could we do a paternity test?
If the baby turns out to be his,
it's evidence that he cheated on you before the divorce.
That's right.
But to do that, we need his consent.
You're right.
Could there be a way to force him to do it?
Jae Woong.
Mom, Dad says...
I can live with you if I want.
Really?
So? Did you tell him that you want to live with me?
Yes.
Thank you, Jae Woong.
Thank you.
Guk Hyun, this isn't you.
Why would you do this?
Come on.
Can you really undo it?
Yes. I must have been out of my mind.
I'll return the money,
catch Oh Jong Tae with my own hands, and charge him with murder.
Seriously, I promise.
Then...
call Oh Jeong Su right now.
Tell him you'll return the money.
It's late at night.
Get in touch with him no matter what...
and return the money as soon as you can.
That's your only way out.
- You jerk! - No!
- Where are you going? - You talk to him.
GAWOL CHURCH
Hey!
Jin Soo!
Hey!
Hey! Jin Soo!
Hey! Pull yourself together!
Hey!
MR. OH JEONG SU
I missed your call. What's the matter, at this hour?
Mr. Oh.
- The thing is... - By any chance,
did you change your mind?
No.
That's not it.
If you're not satisfied with the amount,
I'll send you the same amount again.
What?
Well...
- Guk Hyun. - Jin Soo.
Since it happened this way, let's just get it over with.
What can we do now?
I have proof that I sent money to your account.
It's too late to change your mind now.
I'll have to call you back.
Jin Soo.
I'm sorry.
Jin Soo.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, Jin Soo.
Nam Guk Hyun took this from the scene...
and handed it over to Oh Jong Tae.
But he left out the last part where he shows up.
Why wasn't this found earlier?
It's from the dashcam of a car parked at the scene.
Nam Guk Hyun took it from the car owner and deleted it.
But I restored it.
Why was Mr. Nam keeping this?
So that he wouldn't be charged with killing Jang Jin Soo, I guess.
By only revealing the part where Yoo Jeong Seok hits Jang Jin Soo,
he could pin the murder on Yoo Jeong Seok.
So Mr. Yoo...
falsely believed...
that he killed Jang Jin Soo.
It was all Nam Guk Hyun's doing.
Both killing Jang Jin Soo and discarding his body...
and pinning the murder...
on Lee Dae Chul.
If this had been revealed earlier,
Mr. Yoo wouldn't have died.
Let's catch him again.
Only then will this case be over.
The prosecution won't want things to get more complicated.
Also, why ask me to request a warrant?
That's the police's job.
You watched the footage.
Nam Guk Hyun killed Jang Jin Soo. It wasn't Yoo Jeong Seok.
You must reveal the truth, Reporter Jin.
But the case can't be tried again as the retrial already ended.
Do you really think the prosecution will issue a warrant?
Lee Dae Chul's retrial can't be undone.
But if the prosecution sees this as a separate murder case,
then we can open an investigation.
The public opinion seems to be in favor of reinvestigating the case.
Whether we can get started or not depends on the prosecution.
We've come this far together,
so let's wrap up this case together.
So Jeong Seok died for no reason.
We have to catch Nam Guk Hyun to uncover the truth.
But we've already wrapped up everything for Jeong Seok's case.
What's the problem now?
"Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae, who was in charge..."
"of the Lee Dae Chul case,"
"continued to investigate the case..."
"and finally managed to unearth the truth behind it."
That's the article, which will be published with a photo of you...
on the front page of Jeonghan Daily.
Will you stay at the Incheon District forever?
You should work at the Central District Prosecutors' Office.
I trust that you'll take good care of it.
Reporter Jin.
Who do you think the real winner will be when the case is closed?
The police?
The media?
No, neither of them.
Who do you think will reap the most benefit from the case?
Think about it.
The answer will be very helpful for your career going forward.
Hey, what excuse will Unit Two use to put me behind bars this time?
Why on earth...
- did you kill your fellow officer? - What are you talking about?
Everyone at the precinct heard about what you did and is losing it.
They'll chase you down at all costs and get you locked up.
You betrayed our trust and loyalty.
I'm no longer on your side.
I'm siding with the guys who are after you.
You got that, Nam Guk Hyun?
ORANGE TRADING
- Hey. - We got the arrest warrant.
I have the warrant with me. I'm on the way now.
- Okay. - Where's Nam Guk Hyun?
He hasn't come out yet.
Okay, wait just a little longer. I'm almost there.
All right.
Hey.
You...
You killed Jang Jin Soo, didn't you?
We got the footage that had been deleted from your computer.
Jang Jin Soo...
You killed him. It was you.
Right?
SEJONG GENERAL TRADING
Please...
Let's please put an end to this.
Please leave me alone!
Please!
You should've just let it go.
Then nothing would've happened!
Why... Why are you so hung up on this?
Just why?
I can't let it go, for the life of me.
Unless I die,
I will not let you go unpunished.
Never. I will chase you even after I die.
Don't resent me.
This wouldn't have happened if you had kept your mouth shut!
Why?
Just why?
SEOBU POLICE STATION
Judging from Detective Kang Do Chang's injury,
I understand that the situation was urgent.
However, I'm not sure if you had no choice...
but to use your firearm.
Would you say you strictly followed the protocols?
No.
I did not strictly follow the protocols.
Is that so?
Well, he could've just said that he did.
No one witnessed the moment. What's with him?
He's just too stubborn for his own sake.
What's he counting on?
How is he going to support himself...
if he gets fired because of this?
He won't even receive the pension if he gets fired like this.
He'll be able to support himself,
but help him out so that he can stay in the force.
Please make sure he won't get fired.
Please, sir.
Why do I have to make sure that he won't get fired?
- Why? - I love you.
Goodness.
What is this?
Well, it's...
My wife bought it at the duty-free,
but she doesn't like the scent.
But I can't use a woman's perfume...
nor can I throw it away.
You know I stick to principles.
Do you think I'll break principles for this?
What is it with you?
I know you aren't one to always be hung up on principles.
How dare you treat me like this!
You still have a long way to go.
I'm taking it just because it happens to be the one I use.
Don't expect anything from me.
Of course not. I'm not expecting anything.
I just...
gave it to you with no alternative motive.
Right before I pulled the trigger,
a thought went through my head.
I wondered if I'd regret it later.
I wondered if I'd be embarrassed...
about it for the rest of my life as a cop.
If you didn't shoot him when you did,
he would've killed me.
- I'm glad you know. - Is it over now?
You have no questions left, right?
Do you remember me?
No, I still don't remember you.
Then...
what do you want from me?
When I said your name,
you remembered me.
- It was you, right? - Look,
Detective.
Don't say anything else.
Just admit that you killed my dad. That's all I need.
You killed him, didn't you?
It was you.
No.
I didn't kill him.
You should leave now.
I'm not the murderer.
If you were...
living a good life,
I would never have forgiven you.
This is your last chance.
It's your last chance to ask your victim's son for forgiveness.
This will also be my last time seeing you.
I'm sorry.
Forget about everything...
and have a good life.
What about my dad?
What about him?
Your dad...
was a good person.
I did the wrong thing back then.
SEOBU DETENTION HOUSE
Why aren't you saying anything when you asked to see me?
What is it? Is something wrong?
No, nothing is wrong.
I'm sorry.
I think you should hold on to this.
Do you carry this around?
Blow on it when you're struggling.
How does that feel? Doesn't it make you feel better?
It makes you feel like someone will show up and help you.
You're right.
Someone really showed up.
I should get going.
I have a lot of work to do.
Why? What is stressing you out this time?
It's stressful...
now that I have someone I keep missing.
Gosh, Eun Hye.
This drawing has class.
Doesn't it seem to make our house look nicer?
Won't the drawing fit in better if we moved to a nicer place?
What's wrong with this house?
I went to see...
a show house just down the street earlier today.
It's perfect for our family of four.
We just need to make a small loan from the bank.
You'll soon get promoted, won't you?
Oh, right.
I told my team to wait. What am I doing here?
Don't ask Eun Hye to play with you when she has to study, okay?
All right.
Make yourself useful...
if you have time to visit show houses.
How could you not think of working for a single day in your life?
I raised you wrong.
Do Chang, I trust you.
I love you.
Go away.
I love you!
What can he do when I say that I love him?
Jae Woong.
- Isn't Eun Hye a great artist? - Yes.
You look so pretty.
Really? You're the best.
I don't think he's home yet.
Seeing that the car is here, he can't be far.
Let's wait.
Do Chang.
He comes from a rich family and a great background.
They even have a congressman in the family. Will we be okay?
Who cares about his family?
He's a pervert that beats women up and takes photos of them.
We should do everything we can to catch him and bring him down.
Of course.
We have nothing to fear. We even took down the Minister of Justice.
Will you be okay with your promotion assessment?
Well...
He doesn't care about promotions.
He's just Kang Do Chang.
He's someone that doesn't need rank to define him.
Right, Do Chang?
Well, I guess I don't really need that promotion.
- Do Chang. - Hey.
What are you doing here?
We're here for the same guy.
You're here for Jang Joon Gi, right?
We've been chasing after him for a month now.
Why don't you give this one to us, Do Chang?
Your police station has been doing a good job lately.
You don't know who Jang Joon Gi is, do you?
I'll tell you about him.
He'll probably...
like that and...
You'll end up like that.
He's like that. He has people up high watching out for him.
Is that so?
He's that important?
You'll regret it later if you aren't careful.
Look at me.
Everyone makes sure to keep me in my place if I look up.
I'll accept it as fate,
but you should climb up that ladder, shouldn't you?
You're right.
I'll just end up in trouble...
- if I don't know my place. - Of course.
Be realistic about it.
If you don't want to leave without anything,
go down this way for 10 minutes and you'll find a sundae restaurant.
They have really good food.
Jang Joon Gi is here.
Start a tab under my name.
I'll pay for it later.
- See you. - Do Chang.
- What is it? - I'd like to...
go after a case that's over my head and see my name in the media.
- What? - Let's get Jang Joon Gi.
- Run. - Wait.
Stop right there, Jang Joon Gi!
What are you waiting for?
- Go! - Stop right there!
- Run! - Get him!
- Run! - Stop right there!
- Run! - Keep going!
