[ Episode 13 ]
Guard...
Guard!
For Choi Chul Soo, who was tried for
kidnapping, luring, brutally murdering,
and burying the bodies of seven teenage girls,
the court for his first trial sentenced him to death.
He showed no sign of empathy or guilt toward the victims
and since he might cause disturbance to society when he is released,
it’s necessary for him to be isolated from society indefinitely.
The court stated these reasons for sentencing him to death.
Where is it?
[ Expiration date: 8/17, 2019 ]
Geez...
[ Han Yoon Jin's usage history from last month ]
I told you there was a suspect before Lee Sun Ho got arrested.
That's Choi Chul Soo, who got arrested for serial murders recently.
- Chief! - Calm down!
Choi Chul Soo was arrested as a suspect because of the records on Yoon Jin's phone,
but he got acquitted because his DNA didn't match.
And Lee Sun Ho got arrested instead.
Choi Chul Soo's approach to the victims, the area they went missing,
and the crime pattern
have a lot in common with Yoon Jin's case.
[ A getaway car was found ]
[ She got into a mysterious vehicle ]
To call it a coincidence...
In a movie that dealt with death row convict,
there's a line that goes like this.
"I'm against humans killing humans
whether that's murder or the death penalty."
Since 1997, no one has received
the death penalty in Korea.
Majority of the public is insisting that Choi Chul Soo
receives the death penalty according to the ruling.
On the contrary, a lot of civic groups and religious groups are against it.
Through Choi Chul Soo's case, we'll be looking into the death penalty,
which borders on human rights versus punishment.
You're in the late stage of acute pancreatic cancer.
You'll have to prepare yourself.
[ Blue Cross ]
- Lee Joo Yeon. - Yes.
- Kim Boo Hyun. - Yes.
Tak Shi Young? Yes.
Kim Sun Young?
Visitations are over for the day.
Well, I...
[ Park Sun Young: mother of Lee Ha Sun, Choi Chul Soo's victim ]
[ Lee Ha Geun: father of Lee Ha Sun, Choi Chul Soo's victim ]
Ha Sun might come back tomorrow.
I can't give her wrinkled school uniform.
[ Han Kwang Ho ]
The culprit, Choi Chul Soo, dismembered the bodies
and preserved them in formaldehyde.
Since Choi was a veterinarian, it's presumed that
he was able to acquire the drugs easily.
Some bodies were preserved for a few months and some for several years.
Thus, it was difficult to identify the bodies.
Yes, Chief.
- You're reassigned to the prosecution. - Pardon?
All of a sudden?
They ordered the return of prosecutors who were sent to different divisions.
HRC will receive an official letter in a few days.
Be ready.
Yes, got it.
Choi Chul Soo requested you to
visit him in prison.
He has three months left at best.
He's relying on morphine
and managing to survive day by day.
Here are the doctor's written opinion, his fellow inmate testimony,
and the note from the prison chief of medicine.
What's the reason for the appeal?
Currently, Choi Chul Soo
can't physically survive in prison.
I think that could be a reason for a stay of execution.
The prosecution decides the matter of a stay of execution.
The warden requested the prosecution for a stay of execution last week,
but they declined the request.
But if HRC comes to rescue,
the prosecution might arrive at a different decision.
I'll accept the appeal, but I can't guarantee that we'll investigate.
Choi Chul Soo made a special request directly to you.
I hope you accept it.
I guess the rumor was true.
The rumor that the serial killer, Choi Chul Soo has cancer.
People were saying he needs to be executed before he dies from pancreatic cancer.
From the international point of view and ethical standards
the death penalty needs to be abolished,
but a lot of people are for the death penalty as well.
What does his medical record say?
He was sent to the ER three times
and he is indeed in a critical condition if you look at the treatments.
An inmate with liver cancer who was in better condition
was allowed to leave with a stay of execution as well.
A death row inmate and a regular inmate
can't be on par with the same standard.
The stay of execution
shouldn't be determined by the severity of the crime.
Isn't it discriminatory to differentiate a death row inmate and a regular inmate?
Choi Chul Soo is a patient after all.
He was a murderer first before a patient.
He killed seven innocent people.
The victims' families would go crazy over this.
When the culprit was arrested after losing their family,
they must've thought, "It's finally over. The end."
But it wasn't.
The grueling trial process.
The first and the second trial, the ruling and the appeal.
Let's say he finally got the death penalty.
Is that it? No, it's not.
Because he's not being executed.
We haven't executed anyone in over 20 years.
You could say that we abolished the death penalty as a country.
I thought, "Yes, we can't kill him,
but he'll rot in jail for life. That's enough."
That's what I thought,
but he suddenly asks for a stay of execution.
He wants to die in the hospital.
How about the victims' families?
How about how they feel?
Whoa, Deputy Director, I'm impressed.
There's no end in arguing about the death penalty.
Inspector Han, meet with him since he requested your visit.
I won't go.
Legally, I'm not obligated to meet his request.
It's been over six years since Ha Sun didn't come home.
Because of that,
I learned one thing for sure.
How precious our everyday lives were together.
We're just...
ordinary people.
Just like the ones who are watching this right now.
But...
these things can happen to anyone.
Although it should never happen.
There's just this one thing we hope for.
And it's to find our Ha Sun.
I'll forgive you...
by God's grace.
I'll pray for wounded souls every day.
So, please...
bring our Ha Sun back home.
If she's alive,
please let her come home safely.
Please let her come home.
Please, I beg you.
Please, I beg you...
Please...
Thank you so much.
Yes.
I'm Attorney Oh Tae Moon, Choi Chul Soo's...
I'm aware.
What brings you here...
I heard your visit was rejected.
It's not like it's impossible
- for you to meet him. - Pardon?
Honey, who's he?
Last week, Choi Chul Soo requested to the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office
for a stay of execution, but was declined.
And he filed an appeal to HRC saying it was an unfair decision.
- We're against it! - We're against it! We're against it!
- Kill him! - Execute Choi Chul Soo!
Kill him! He should be killed!
Execute Choi Chul Soo!
- Excuse me. - Execute him!
- You're Han Yoon Seo, right? - Yes.
- Who are you... - I heard about you from Attorney Oh.
Please meet with him.
- I can't... - Please.
He refuses to see me.
I beg you, ma'am. Please...
Please meet with him and find our daughter.
Please.
If you do what he wants you to do,
he'll tell you where our daughter is.
Or please tell him to see me, at least.
Tell him that I'm praying every day...
What? Pray?
Are you crazy?
Sun Hee's mother.
How could you pray for the man who killed your daughter?
Our daughter isn't dead.
She's... She's waiting for me.
She's not dead yet.
Ma'am!
- Ma'am! - Seriously!
You pray because your daughter is alive.
How about my dead daughter? What will you do about her?
My daughter isn't dead.
How could you be like this?
The HRC decided to dismiss Choi Chul Soo’s appeal for
the request of medical service for himself, who’s an inmate
at Northeastern Prison.
But some of the victims' families
are requesting HRC to reconsider their decision...
So he requested for Inspector Han Yoon Seo?
Yes.
I tried sending a different inspector,
but the victims' families are insisting that it has to be her.
I'll try persuading Inspector Han.
There's no need.
It's up to her decision.
But considering the public opinion...
Yes, got it.
Chief.
I'll meet with him.
I'll accept his request for a meeting.
I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo of the Human Rights Commission.
You requested a meeting for the appeal, right?
I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo of the Human Rights Commission.
You requested a meeting for the appeal, right?
I'm very ill.
Since I'm about to die anyway,
I'd rather die outside.
What's the purpose of the appeal?
Could you let me get a stay of execution?
Criminal Procedure Law, Article 480.
"When a person who received a sentence or under detention is
in a state where they can’t make decisions due to physical or mental illness,
they should be allowed a stay of execution until they recover from
the illness under the command of the Prosecutors’ Office or prosecutor
up against the court which gave the person
the sentence, or the prosecutor who's in charge of
the area where the person is currently in."
Choi Chul Soo, you didn't receive a jail sentence,
but the death penalty.
Article 469.
“When the death row inmate is
either unable to communicate due to an illness
or is a pregnant woman,
there will be a stay of execution under the command of the Minister of Justice.”
A stay of execution is given when a person with a prison sentence
has a serious illness they can’t recover from
and is meaningless for them to be imprisoned.
Or when they have a serious illness that can’t be treated in prison
and they need to be treated outside of prison temporarily.
That means the jail sentence
is put on hold temporarily.
But you weren't given a jail sentence.
Legally, you're waiting for the execution of the death penalty.
You're neither a prisoner on trial nor a prisoner.
Your sentence hasn't even taken place.
What is it you want to put on hold exactly?
Why did you come here?
You know all the answers, and you concluded too.
Why did you come all the way here to see me?
You promised that
you'd meet with Ha Sun's parents if I agree to meet you.
I heard you'd help them find Lee Ha Sun's body.
Her body?
Do you think Ha Sun died by chance?
What's the reason you think that?
Meet with Ha Sun's parents as you promised
and tell them
where Ha Sun is.
See you again.
That's not going to happen.
- Cheers! - Cheers.
Sit, sit.
- Good work, guys. - Have some.
Good work.
By the way...
I really don't know.
About what?
Of course, HRC is against the death penalty,
but I feel a little differently.
The thing I hate the most among what HRC does
is covering up the faces of serial killers.
By protecting their publicity rights,
we're taking away the right to be angry from the victims!
Shouldn't we give them the clear target of hatred
so they could hate as much as they want?
I...
think human rights of the victims
should be respected more than the rights of perpetrators.
Well, hate doesn't change anything.
Inspector Lee.
You're certainly doing a great job,
but try thinking from the perspective of
the victims' families one more time.
Okay.
- Inspector Bae. - Yes?
If you were in that situation,
would you be able to defend people like that?
Aigoo, I'd never defend people like that.
It's the same with Choi Chul Soo.
Rather than respecting the right of the death row convict,
think from the victims' families' place
and make sure they get punished accordingly.
Of course! For sure.
Okay, got it. Got it!
We're not here to have that kind of talk.
You guys probably already know,
but Inspector Bae is returning to the prosecution next week!
- Congratulations! - You worked hard.
Let's all drink.
- Good job. - Thank you!
Inspector Bae, say something.
Aigoo. Well...
I have to say goodbye now that I'm fond of you. I'm a bit sad.
To be honest, I was forced to come to HRC,
but I learned a lot here.
As a prosecutor, I think I should investigate from
different perspectives even when I deal with defendants.
Thank you.
Yes, yes! Let's drink.
Good work!
- Thank you! - You've worked very hard.
He complained a lot while working here, but he's so nice suddenly.
He became nice now that he's about to leave.
But you said he'd meet with us.
All right.
Honey!
The photos. Which one would be better?
This one is probably better, right?
What?
You!
What did you tell him anyway?
- Pardon? - What did you tell him?
Why is he suddenly ill and doesn't want to see us?
Please calm down and...
How could I calm down right now?
Do you know how we feel?
Do you know how a desperate parent feels?
Do you know what it's like to wait for my daughter every day?
This might be the last chance.
He's about to die soon.
What if I never find my daughter?
Will you take responsibility?
If something happens to my daughter,
it's all your fault.
I won't just sit back.
In the beginning, Choi Chul Soo
kidnapped a girl walking alone in a secluded street,
took her to his home and murdered her.
As he became more experienced at murder,
he targetted the girls who ran away from home.
He drove to the places where the runaways hang out
and looked for the target there.
He targetted girls who were separated
from the group and didn't have places to sleep.
Did Ha Sun run away from home too?
It doesn't seem so.
She never ran away from home before
and they reported her missing right away.
They said she didn't come home from the academy.
That was six years ago.
It looks like she was Choi Chul Soo's first victim.
He confessed that he murdered Ha Sun as well.
But...
the body wasn't found, right?
From the reservoir where Choi Chul Soo discarded bodies,
six bodies were found, but
Ha Sun's body wasn't found.
We couldn't find any spoils from her either.
Usually, serial killers collect spoils from their victims.
We didn't find anything at the villa where crimes supposedly took place.
Do you think that Choi Chul Soo actually killed Ha Sun?
Usually, criminals try to downplay their crimes,
but Choi Chul Soo said he killed one more person.
There's no way to know if he's lying or not.
We don't know if he killed seven or 70 people.
There's no way to know unless you go into his head.
Is it possible that Ha Sun is alive?
I know a hyungnim who retired recently.
He worked on missing cases exclusively his whole life,
but according to him,
whether it's a child or an adult, if they disappeared for no reason,
you should think of them as dead.
If she were alive, there's no reason not to come home
when her family is waiting for her desperately.
Yoon Seo, what I mean is...
And because her body wasn't found,
she might still be alive somewhere.
There's still hope.

- Bye! - Did it work?
I heard you dismissed
Choi Chul Soo's appeal.
Because his sentence hasn't taken place,
he can't be given a stay of execution. You're right.
It's the right decision in terms of the law.
Can I ask you a question?
The law...
the human rights of the plaintiff Choi Chul Soo,
and...
the human rights of the victims' families.
Which is the most important?
Our job is very difficult, as you know.
But...
if our decision
could help the family waiting for their daughter,
wouldn't that be more valuable than the law and human rights?
Where's Ha Sun's body?
You won't protect my right to pursue the happiness of wanting to die outside of jail.
Why should I help you find Ha Sun's body?
Are the rights of the dead more important than someone alive?
If you request a stay of execution,
I'll tell you where Ha Sun's body is.
I won't make deals.
You don't make deals with human rights.
I'm not trying to make deals.
Make a judgment as an HRC inspector
and write a report.
That's not too much to ask, is it?
Wanting to die in the hospital
is basic human rights, isn't it?
Did you ask...
the seven people you murdered?
If they want to be murdered by you?
No.
Did they want that?
I don't know.
I'm assuming they didn't.
Because no one wants to die.
Isn't that the same for you and me as well?
We all die someday.
You can't avoid death even if you don't want to.
It was bound to happen anyway.
And I just expedited it.
You don't respect other people's lives,
but you want people to respect your life.
Isn't that selfish?
People are selfish beings.
Aren't you, Inspector Han?
I want to choose where and how I'd die.
You took other people's right to choose,
but you still want to choose?
Decisions in one's death
aren't just about where and how.
It's not how you die.
It's about how you say goodbye
to the ones who will be left behind.
You didn't just take their lives.
You took away their opportunities to say goodbye.
That's really a shame.
I want to give closure to the victims' families.
Closure?
There's no such thing.
That's up to the families to decide.
Not you, Inspector Han.
How do I believe that
you really killed Ha Sun?
You might be using that to get out of here.
She had a ring on the ring finger
on her left hand.
It had initials engraved on one side.
It was a gift from her mom.
Was Ha Sun...
your first victim?
You never...
forget your first experiences.
She deserved to die.
Right, there was an eyewitness.
And I even confessed.
Who did you confess to?
To your...
father.
No.
I don't ever want to get involved with him.
This time, it's for sure.
Do you believe what I just said, Inspector Han?
Do you feel like you'd lose
if you believe me?
You feel like you'd win if you don't.
Don't you care about what the
truth might be?
Are you talking about the fact that
you killed Ha Sun and confessed to the police or...
What did you confess to my father?
Go ask him yourself.
Geez...
Aren't you inconsistent?
You won't even believe me.
You can just ask him yourself.
Right.
You can't really do that.
I know a bit about your family.
Your little sister took her own life
and your father went missing.
You're an HRC inspector even after such tragedies.
Your father would be so proud if he saw you.
Where are they?
Who are you talking about?
You mean your missing father?
Or Ha Sun?
Who do you want to find, anyway?
My job isn't finding missing people.
It's determining what's reasonable and lawful.
I didn't ask you what you do.
I asked you what you want.
Who do you want to find...
the most?
You arrived at the destination.
The navigation has ended.
It says I'm at the destination. Where is it?
I don't even see a house.
I'd like to ask you something.
Do you know where Doogol Village is?
You just need to pass this hill.
What business do you have in the village?
I'm looking for a house with a red roof.
Do you know?
I heard everyone knows the old lady at the red roof house in Doogol Village.
A house with a red roof...
That must be it.
Do you know her?
Why do you want to go there?
I'm looking for lodging.
There's no lodging in this neighborhood.
Tourists stopped coming around a long time ago.
Please tell me where it is.
I have a business to take care of.
The lady is there alone.
What will you do there now?
I must go to the house with the red roof.
Hey, old lady! Come out here!
Did she go out to the field?
She says it has to be this house!
Just make some pocket money.
Hello.
Miss, pay her first.
I'd like to stay for the night. Is this enough?
Here.
What's the deal?
At a house like this?
Excuse me, ma'am.
I think she has work to do in the backyard.
I can tell from her reaction that she's okay with it.
Just assume it's all good.
Just go inside the house and wait.
Yes.
In Hajoo, Gyeonggido,
there's a small town called Doogol Village.
Visit the old lady who lives alone
in the house with the red roof.
If you ask for her in the neighborhood,
you'd be able to find her.
Go there and ask her
if she remembers the man who took the salt jar six years ago.
Pardon?
What are you talking about...
What do you want me to find there exactly?
The blue cross.
You'll find what you're looking for in the blue cross.
The decision is up to you.
Follow the blue cross.
Do you want food too?
I have no side dishes.
It's not that.
I need to ask you something.
The man who took the salt jar six years ago.
Do you remember him?
Why?
Do you know him?
What's he like?
What does he look like?
I don't know.
How old did he look? And his height?
Who did he say he was?
Did he tell you why he came here?
I'll show you a picture.
Please tell me if it's him.
I don't know anything!
I can't even see your face even though
you're right in front of me.
Look at what?
For the side dishes,
I have soybean stew and kimchi right here.
Eat if you want. Don't if you don't want to.
Why did that man come here?
How would I know?
He came in a big car
and he wanted to stay here like you.
Everyone had a B&B in this neighborhood six years ago.
But what's with the salt jar?
He slept here one night and came to the kitchen in the morning.
He asked me to sell him the salt jar with the salt inside.
Why the salt jar?
How would I know that?
He gave me 1 million won and asked me to sell it.
So I sold it to him.
He said the jar is big enough to hold a person and took it.
A jar that's big enough to hold a person?
That was originally a kimchi jar.
That's not the only thing he took.
He stole the carrier outside and the cane to go with it too.
Where did he go?
Do you remember where he went with the salt jar?
He probably went to see the grave keeper.
He saw something that looks like a gravesite on the way.
He asked me if there's a grave keeper.
The grave keeper...
Where does he live?
You met him earlier.
The old man you came with.
Hello?
Did she kick you out?
I wanted to ask you something.
- I heard you manage gravesites. - Yes.
You know the Kim family grave behind the hill, right?
My job is to manage it.
Why do you ask?
A guest who stayed at
the house with the red roof six years ago
came to visit you, right?
I think so.
Why did he visit you?
He asked me if there's a grave without an owner.
Like the ones that were secretly buried in other people's property?
He asked me if there was one.
- Was there any? - Yes, there was.
There was one in a corner without a path.
I don't even know who owns that land,
but even if you want to dig it out and get rid of it,
you have to report to the government
and advertise in the newspaper.
It's so complicated, and I felt uneasy about doing that too.
So I just left it there.
So did you tell him about it?
Yes.
Don't step on the wet leaves.
Step on the dirt.
Yes.
The lady is kind of mean, right?
She wasn't so bad before,
but her husband died
and her only son died young.
It was a terrible death too.
Geez...
This is it.
What are you looking for anyway?
The blue cross.
Excuse me.
Aigoo...
[ Detective Jang Dong Seok ]
Aigoo, it stinks.
Aigoo...
What's this smell anyway?
- Aigoo... - Sir.
Please go home and ask this detective to come here.
Tell him that Han Yoon Seo asked you.
Tell him to hurry up.
It's not hard to make a call,
but what are you trying to do all alone?
- Hurry up. - Boy...
How did you come here...
Excuse me!
It's hard to identify the body since it decomposed,
but we'll know once we compare the DNA with the family.
You must've been shocked.
I'm okay, but...
I'm worried about him...
What's Choi Chul Soo's plan anyway?
He wouldn't meet them and said he didn't know where the body was.
Why is he telling her family now anyway?
Is he repenting before he dies?
Is that your daughter's picture?
Yes.
A picture from six years ago
and one that shows what she'd look like now.
Her medical record and dental record.
I learned it's better to carry them around like this.
If you keep sending them to the police and hospital,
they often get lost.
If an unidentified body gets found,
I have to be there no matter
where or when.
And...
if it turns out it's not a match,
I'd think, "Maybe she's alive somewhere."
Maybe.
Maybe...
That "maybe"
is the hardest part.
Are you her family?
- Yes. - Please come in.
- Well, then... - Yes.
Hello?
I kept the promise.
It's your turn to keep your promise.
I didn't promise that I'll write the report the way you like.
What I want is for you to write a report
with no personal feelings as an inspector.
What I want is for you to write a report
with no personal feelings as an inspector.
- Hello. - Hello.
- I heard today is your last day here. - Yes.
I was happy to become friends with you.
Yes, I know.
Why are you going back all of a sudden?
I'm not sure.
A lowly prosecutor like me doesn't know anything.
I just do what I'm told.
By the way, I don't see Jung Nam.
He goes to the Civil Rights Commission these days.
I see.
Don't forget about us after you go back.
I won't.
- You must be busy. Get to it. - Yes.
Carry on.
I heard from the police.
Will you be okay?
We can push back the meeting.
No, it's okay.
Even if we make the wrong decision,
that won't be our first nor the last.
That one case
won't better nor worsen us either.
Sometimes, you have no choice
but to choose the lesser evil.
Also...
the final decision is up to the committee members.
You just need to report them about your decision
and wait for their verdict.
Yes.
We support you no matter what decision you make.
I chose Ha Sun's favorite outfit.
She was so pretty, wasn't she?
She was pretty as a flower.
Honey.
We can't leave them here forever.
It's not like it's been ten years or 100 years.
It's only been six years!
Honey.
Ha Sun's mother.
We can't keep living in the past.
How about the future? How about our family's future?
Ha Sun isn't the only child we need to care for.
Are you saying I don't take care of Ha Joon?
Are you calling me a bad mother?
- Honey. - You know why Ha Sun end up that way?
Only if you left on time that day...
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to.
I know.
Both you and I...
need to move on now.
Why do you keep saying that?
I don't want to.
Otherwise, we'll never overcome this.
Overcome what?
Why do you keep telling me to forget?
Because I need you.
I lost Ha Sun. I can't lose you as well.
I need my wife.
I'm saying I need you.
And our Ha Joon...
needs his mom too.
How about our Ha Sun?
She needs her mom too.
I can't forget our daughter.
I'll never give up!
Honey.
Try to be careful
- and be thorough. - Yes.
Ma'am.
We'll bring your stuff back as they were.
I don't care if you throw them away. Do whatever.
It's all junk I don't need anyway.
Yes.
The guests stay here and leave a lot of stuff behind.
Yes, yes.
Thank you.
Yes.
I'll be on my way.
Detective Jang.
Yes.
A depressed fracture caused by a blunt trauma was found
on the right side of the skull,
but that's not the direct cause of death.
Considering the stab wound around the third rib on the right,
it was death from bleeding from a weapon.
Although, some of it was damaged from decomposition,
some leather products remained intact.
It looked like a men's belt.
What?
You mean it's a male?
Yes, considering the hip bones and general bone structure,
it's an adult male.
Yoon Seo.
What brings you here?
Yoon Seo.
What is it?
Listen and don't be shocked.
[ Request for medical service by an inmate ]
Ouch!
What are you doing, Han Yoon Seo?
The meeting started. Let's go in.
She's here.
Inspector, start the briefing.
Who do you want to find the most?
You'll find what you're looking for in the blue cross.
The decision is up to you.
Inspector Han?
Please start the briefing.
Case No. 19.
Appeal No. 0161100.
I'll brief you on the case
regarding the request for medical service for an inmate.
I need to...
I need to meet with plaintiff Choi Chul Soo
one more time.
- What? - What is she talking about?
What are you talking about?
Inspector.
Don't you see the people gathered in this room?
What's the reason you have to meet with the plaintiff again?
Is the investigation incomplete?
Yes.
Is it important enough to put a hold on the meeting?
Yes.
Could you tell me what it's about?
It's a personal reason.
The reason why we're here is
to discuss a very important matter.
It's the people who make a decision for that matter, not the law.
I need to meet with Choi Chul Soo and confirm something.
Depending on the result,
my opinion on...
this case as an inspector
may change.
The meeting has been adjourned.
The meeting will be postponed to next Wednesday.
Detective Jang, you need to see this.
What is it?
Teacher.
Where are you?
Hello?
Yes, Detective Jang.
♪ Wait for the chase ♪
♪ What am I to you? ♪
♪ I'll do everything you've done to be in return ♪

Nothing changes anyway.
The law can neither punish me nor kill me.
I'm Inspector Han Yoon Seo of HRC.
What will you do now?
What's Han Yoon Seo and Choi Chul Soo's relationship?
Is the victim related to Han Yoon Seo?
How could you work for that murderer?
How was seeing Yoon Jin again...
I'll kill you!
He could still be in the hospital.
It's just us two.
Close the gates and search the hospital.
What would you say if they ask you why you didn't kill Choi Chul Soo?
Answer me!
