(Episode 15)
This is Patrol Car Four from Sangku Division.
We got a call about an abduction case.
The rooftop of Hae Kwang Law Firm in moguk-dong.
Send an ambulance and a patrol car.
Can we trust the person who called?
Yes. We have to get there in five minutes.
Sir, I need to get there as soon as possible.
This shot...
will paralyze all the muscles in your body.
Then you won't be able to breathe,
and you'll die quietly in five minutes as if you're falling asleep.
Your death will be like a blessing.
What time is it now?
What time is it?
And where am I now?
Do you want to know where and what time you're going to die?
This is the rooftop of Hae Kwang Law Firm, and it's...
10:30pm right now.
Jae Chan.
Did you hear that?
You heard that, right?
It's...
What an interesting girl.
Is this broken? Why isn't it working?
What...
What is the matter?
How can we get to the rooftop?
The elevators aren't working due to the power outage.
Oh, our emergency elevator is over there.
Let me borrow your flashlight.
What's wrong?
You look scary.
You look like you could kill me.
Yes.
I'm about to.
DramaHood.Com
Are you saying you'll become a murderer?
No, of course not.
I'm saying that I need to clean up the garbage.
You tried to kill that reporter...
as well as me.
I ended up killing you while trying to stop you,
which means I did it in defense of a third party,
I'll get a non-guilty verdict.
You're the one who told me...
to sort it out well...
and to make sure that it's a win-win deal for everyone.
This is the answer I found.
Woo Tak. It must be there. Over there.
Hong Joo!
She's Ms. Nam Hong Joo, right?
Gosh, what happened?
My goodness, what's going on? Sir, are you all right?
I'm okay, but please check on Ms. Nam.
Hong Joo!
- I can feel her pulse. - Lay her down.
Sorry?
Whether she has a pulse or not isn't an issue.
She can't breathe as her lungs are paralyzed.
- What? - Explain her condition...
to the medics and tell them to bring a respirator.
Okay.
Hong Joo. Hong Joo, please.
Please hang in there.
Please...
Hong Joo, please...
Hong Joo.
Wake up.
Wake up!
Hey!
Hong Joo.
Hang in there, please.
(Episode 15: Stand by Me)
Are you okay?
Yes. I'm a little dizzy, but I'm all right.
We're from Hangang Police Station.
Could you please tell us what happened?
I met Ms. Nam in my office for an interview,
and we had coffee together.
I suddenly started feeling weak all over.
Someone must've put some kind of drug in it.
I was feeling all hazy, but I did see...
the woman, Ha Ju Won, carrying Ms. Nam out of my office.
I tried to stop her,
but I couldn't really move because of the drug.
Ha Ju Won is the woman who fell to death, right?
Yes. She came to see me a little while ago.
She insisted that she's the real IV drip serial killer.
She came to consult me.
The one who got caught isn't the real killer?
That's right.
My goodness.
I suggested turning herself in,
but she didn't take my advice.
I guess she saw me meeting with Ms. Nam...
and assumed that I was leaking the information to the media.
That's why you think she drugged your coffee?
Well, that's what I'm speculating.
Then what happened after that?
I didn't have any strength to move, but I wasn't totally unconscious.
I thought I should stop her from killing another person at all costs,
so I barely managed to follow them to the rooftop,
- No! - but Ha Ju Won was already...
drugging Ms. Nam.
I wanted to stop her, but I couldn't move because of the drug.
Then Ha Ju Won started attacking me immediately.
While trying to stop her,
she and I tussled. I ended up pushing her,
and she fell off the building.
After that, you fainted while trying...
to rescue Ms. Nam.
That's right.
If only I hadn't been drugged,
I would've been able to save Ms. Nam's life.
Please don't worry. She's fine.
She's fine?
Are you saying she's alive?
Yes, she's alive.
How...
I heard that drug kills anyone within five minutes of injection.
Yes. Everyone is saying that it's a miracle.
I heard that she would've died if she had been rescued a minute late.
Prosecutor Jung Jae Chan saved her life by performing CPR promptly.
Prosecutor Jung Jae Chan?
He came to the scene?
She was very lucky.
Lady Luck must've been on her side.
Totally.
I'm so relieved.
Doctor, how's Hong Joo? How is she?
She passed the critical stage.
She could survive thanks to the prompt first-aid treatment.
But the thing is that I can't tell you for certain...
when she'll regain her consciousness.
What do you mean?
She couldn't breathe for a significant amount of time.
No oxygen was provided to her brain during that time,
and the experience must've caused severe psychological trauma as well.
We can't really predict anything at the moment.
Ms. Yoon.
I'm all right. I'm okay.
I'm sorry. I...
I should've rescued her sooner.
No, don't say that. Thank you. You saved her life.
I'm glad that she's alive. She could've died, you know.
Don't worry.
Hong Joo will regain her consciousness.
She'll wake up as if nothing happened.
How's Hong Joo?
The doctor said that she has passed the critical stage,
but she's still unconscious.
I just...
heard what Lawyer Lee Yu Beom said.
What did he say?
I think he'll insist that it was done in defense.
Where is he now?
Is he in the emergency room?
Jae Chan.
Mr. Choi.
Why...
Why on earth...
Why do you have to do this?
Why do you have to leave so suddenly?
Why at a time like this?
Why does it have to be at a time like this?
I...
You're leaving me...
all alone.
Why do you have to leave me?
Why...
Mr. Choi.
I'm sorry, Mr. Jung.
No one knows that you quit.
Ms. Moon also said that she won't tell anyone.
Just think that you're taking a few days off.
When you come back...
I won't go back.
I'm going to be working at Hae Kwang Law Firm.
Did you quit to work with Yu Beom?
Yes.
But... Why?
A long time ago,
my brother ran away from the military armed.
Whenever he called me to tell me that he couldn't take it,
- I have to go. - I said everyone puts up with it...
and that the experience would mature him.
I just scolded him like that.
I never really listened to him.
I felt so bad about it.
I felt horrible that I never listened.
So when he came to me after escaping,
persuading him to turn himself in wasn't the first thing I thought.
He must've been starving, so my priority was getting him food.
When I heard that he killed my chief...
and took other people's lives,
I wanted to kill myself.
I thought that I connived.
Why now?
You had a lot of time.
You should've told me when we first met. Then it would've been easier.
What do you want me to do now? Do you want my forgiveness?
Or do you want me to hate you more?
Neither.
You asked me why I'm going to Hae Kwang Law Firm.
I'm just answering your question.
I no longer want to be a conniver.
I must not feign ignorance to any wrongdoing like I did back then.
That's why I quit. There are no other reasons.
Mr. Choi.
Don't do anything rash, Mr. Jung.
Going to see Lawyer Lee now to question him...
is nothing but a rash decision.
Such an impetuous attitude won't get you anywhere.
From the investigation to the trial,
you won't be able to do anything.
Now, make a choice.
Will you go punch him now...
and get excluded from the investigation and legal proceedings?
Or will you just suck it up now...
so that you can give him the punch he deserves...
through the investigation and trial later on?
How did you know that I'd be here?
I just knew it. Something told me...
that you'll be kicked out and won't be able to do anything...
if you go see Lawyer Lee now and cause a scene. I'm quite intuitive.
Why? Do you think that I'm talking nonsense?
No.
I don't think that it's nonsense.
I won't...
act rashly.
Good.
That's what you should do as Chief Jung's son.
I really wanted to meet you again.
Chief Jung's son.
About the trailer arson case...
You're sure that Ha Ju Won is the prime suspect, right?
She looks like the woman in the CCTV footage from the gas station,
and the footprints found on the scene also match hers.
We tracked her burner phone's base station,
and her trails match that of the suspect.
Then let's conclude that she was the culprit in the arson case.
We can't arraign her as she's dead, so let's just close the case.
Got it.
Yes, sir.
And you guys are certain that Ha Ju Won is also...
the real IV drip serial killer, right?
We examined every case that occurred after Myung Yi Suk's arrest,
and all the victims were in the same ward as her.
We searched her house...
and found vials and syringes used in the crime.
They match the vials we collected at the scene.
We can't indict her for this either because she's dead now.
(Can't indict due to no right of arraignment)
What about the manipulation of evidence?
Ha Ju Won manipulated the evidence.
It wasn't me.
So are you saying that she's the one who framed his dad...
for the serial murder, not you?
If what I remember is correct,
those vials were found in your dad's office.
That office was inside the hospital,
which means that she had access to it as his patient.
What do you think? Doesn't it make sense?
It does.
It was so easy for you to come up with that plausible theory.
Why was it hard for you back then?
Why couldn't you think of it at the time?
- He's on his knees. - He's kneeling.
I'm sorry.
As a prosecutor, I shouldn't have stopped suspecting her.
I just didn't think that anyone could be...
that methodical and meticulous.
It's all my fault.
Then you should take responsibility for it. You said it's your fault.
I want to take responsibility for it,
but making such a mistake...
isn't considered illegal.
- Bring my dad back to life! - Hey, Dae Gu.
Bring my dad back to life!
- Dae Gu, calm down. - Shouldn't we stop them?
- Bring my dad back to life... - Gosh.
Goodness. Ha Ju Won's death means...
fruitless closures for a number of cases.
Totally. It's been concluded that all of them were her doing.
Let's just focus on the rest of the trials for the Ha Ju Won case.
Hong Joo just regained her consciousness.
Sir, I need to step out briefly.
Why? What's going on?
Hong Joo just woke up.
My gosh, that's such a great news. Go see her now.
- Okay, I'll be back in a bit. - Go, go on.
What a relief. I've been really worried about her.
Mr. Lee, how about you team up with Mr. Jung...
and take care of the trials together?
I heard that the CEO of the firm, Mr. Ko, will defend Lee Yu Beom.
You won't be able to handle him alone.
You think so?
He's still just a lawyer.
He's nothing special. Goodness.
Because of him, our request...
for the warrant against Lee Yu Beom got declined.
He didn't even get arrested for the murder investigation.
Isn't that impressive?
Yes, that's obviously why he makes an eight-figure salary.
He makes eight figures?
My gosh. What's the daily breakdown, then?
He makes about 27,000 dollars a day.
Even if he only works four days a year,
he'd still make more than you do.
That was quick, wasn't it?
It sure was. Fast enough to make me feel like swearing at you.
I'll team up with Mr. Jung and tackle it together.
(Intensive Care Unit)
(Visitors are only allowed twice a day at 11am and 7pm.)
Excuse me. Please let me in for a moment.
I just need five minutes. No, just for a minute.
I'll just see her face and leave.
I'm sorry. Please come back at the next visiting hour.
Please. Let me just make sure that she's okay.
I'm okay.
Hong Joo.
Are you all right? Can you move your arms and legs?
Can you recognize me?
Of course, I can.
I also know that you did your very best to save my life.
I heard everything.
Every single thing that you said.
I'm so relieved.
I'm really glad that you're okay.
Thanks.
You got rid of my long-standing nightmares.
Is it okay for you to walk now? Aren't you dizzy?
No, I waited outside for you because I'm fine.
I'll be moving to a general ward soon.
How did you know that I'd be late?
Did you have a dream again?
I kept having dreams about you while I was sleeping.
That's why I have a rough idea about what's going on with the case...
and what kind of nonsense Lee Yu Beom has been spewing.
And I also know about Mr. Choi.
He was the police officer.
Yes.
I saw you crying in my dream.
I cried with you.
(Hae Kwang Law Firm)
(Choi Dam Dong, Hae Kwang Law Firm)
Mr. Choi, I brought you a cup of coffee.
My gosh, thank you.
So? Do you like your office?
Yes, this desk is bigger...
than the chief prosecutor's desk.
Oh, we have a gym and a sauna too.
Feel free to use them often.
My gosh, I should brag about it to Ms. Moon.
Oh, right. I heard that Reporter Nam Hong Joo...
has regained her consciousness.
She woke up?
What's wrong? Isn't it good news?
Of course, it is.
It's great news.
I'm glad to hear that.
It sure is great news.
We have one more ally now.
Hello, sir.
- Oh, hello. - Hello.
All I have to do at the trial is read what you wrote aloud, right?
Where's the draft? Do you have it ready?
Yes.
(Hae Kwang Law Firm)
Is this it?
Yes, sir.
Arrange a dinner with Reporter Nam.
She's on our side,
so we'll have to coordinate what to say at the trial.
Sir, there's something I need to tell you.
What? What is it?
Reporter Nam may not side with us.
Why wouldn't she?
You risked your life to save her.
She might have gotten the wrong idea about me.
She must've been extremely flustered when it happened, you know.
(Key Defense Arguments)
Tell me what kind of wrong idea she might have.
I haven't done a trial in a long time.
I don't want to embarrass myself.
Look, Mr. Lee.
Yes, sir.
Do you think I offered to defend you because I'm fond of you?
Do you think I took the case to make some petty cash?
No, I didn't think of it like that.
I'm not interested in knowing what kind of person you are.
I don't even believe you.
Whether you killed her unintentionally or not...
doesn't matter to me.
I just don't like the fact...
that my firm's name has been tainted.
You need to tell me the truth...
so that I can either clean it or cover it up.
Tell me now.
What is the misunderstanding?
Sir.
Actually...
(Korea's First Artificial Intelligence Cancer Center)
Being discharged isn't a big deal.
You didn't have to come.
I know, right? I'm not a kid.
You're not a kid, but you're an important witness.
I contacted the police and requested protective custody.
You requested protective custody?
Nothing will happen, but just in case.
What if Yu Beom is out to get her?
Does that mean you'll follow me around until the trial is over?
That's right. Just hang in there for a few days.
The trial will happen soon.
Oh, there they are.
Hello.
- What? - We're here...
to protect Ms. Nam Hong Joo. I'm Han Woo Tak...
- from Sangku Division. - And I'm Lieutenant Oh Kyung Han.
We'll keep you safe until the trial is over.
Woo Tak.
I'm glad that it'll be done by officers we know.
Are you all right? I've been really worried about you.
Yes, I'm fine.
Jae Chan told me...
that you went out of your way to rescue me.
Well, he didn't make that much effort.
Woo Tak, are you the only police officer in the entire Hangang-gu?
Right? I was also very surprised when I was assigned to this.
What a coincidence.
Coincidence, my foot. What on earth are you talking about?
It has to be one or the other.
Either Prosecutor Jung requested us,
or Lieutenant Han volunteered.
I never put in such a request.
I didn't volunteer either.
One of you is obviously putting on a show now...
to fool all of us, but I'm...
not even interested, so let's get going.
Thank you.
Come on. Let's go.
Don't put on such a show.
Gosh, look who's talking.
Drive safely.
Let's order dinner from Dongchunwon.
And double-check this seized items list.
Sure.
Dongchunwon is closed on Sundays. Shall I boil water for cup noodles?
It's okay. I'll do it.
Shall I boil water for yours too?
Yes, please. I want the kimchi flavor.
How can you be so calm?
What do you mean?
Ms. Nam nearly died.
Had I been in your situation,
I would've grabbed Lee Yu Beom by the collar at the very least.
Do I seem calm to you?
Yes, you're starting to scare me a little.
I'm not calm at all.
I'm furious.
Lee Yu Beom! Let go!
Every second, I imagine grabbing him by the collar,
yelling, and beating him to a pulp.
And?
- Hey, enough. - Sir!
I said, stop it!
- But the consequences of that... - Hey!
- will be too cruel. - Are you out of your mind?
- I'll be excluded from everything. - Take your hands off it now!
I won't be able to do anything.
Are you a thug or what?
- What will you do now? - I'll have to accept it,
and I'll also receive a restraining order.
Everything will be ruined.
So is that why you're suppressing your anger?
That's right. My jaw hurts every morning...
because I clench my teeth so hard at night.
I have a mouthguard. Shall I lend it to you?
You'll find it helpful.
Gosh, you should've told me sooner.
Please bring it tomorrow.
All right, I will.
It looks like you think that everything I own is yours anyway.
I shall bring Red as well as my mouthguard for you.
(Vecaron, 3 vials)
Whose handwriting is this?
It's mine.
Would you mind reading what's written here aloud?
I'm farsighted due to my old age.
You absolutely can't make any mistakes. Got it?
Mr. Han, why can't you tell us the color of the umbrella?
What color was the umbrella?
I can't really differentiate colors.
What should I do now, Robin?
It looks like I'll ruin everything.
Gosh, relax.
Today, we'll just go through the evidence lists.
There's Mr. Eight-figure Salary. At 3 o'clock.
Prosecutor Lee Ji Kwang, I've heard a lot about you.
Please go easy on us, Prosecutor Jung.
That's what we want to ask you.
Mr. Eight... I mean, Mr. Ko.
I reviewed your evidence list.
You sure have investigated everything thoroughly.
Oh, you think so?
Then please don't disagree with too many of them.
It'll complicate things for both sides, you know.
I know that, of course. I hate dealing with delays in trials.
(Trial in Session)
Counsel, would you like to let us know your thoughts on the evidence?
Sure. Evidence number three, disagree.
We also disagree with number 7 and 11.
He said he won't disagree with anything.
- Number 13, disagree. - Just disagree with all of them.
We were going to disagree with number 15 as well,
but we'll let this one slide.
Goodness, thank you so very much.
Number 17, disagree.
Number 17 is the victim Nam Hong Joo's statement.
You don't agree with it?
No, Ms. Nam is the only witness in this case.
Her statement will decide whether the defendant is guilty or not,
so I think that we must have her testify...
right here in the courtroom to determine her credibility.
Okay, point taken.
Is there anything else you'd like to point out?
Yes, there are still many on our list.
Number 19, disagree.
What's his problem? Why is he questioning Mr. Choi's credibility?
Will we have to summon Mr. Choi Dam Dong as well?
Yes. The prosecution is insisting...
that the defendant killed Ms. Ha Ju Won in order to conceal...
that he tampered with evidence...
while working on the IV drip serial murder case in the past.
Hence, we must summon Mr. Choi, who was the investigator on the case,
to examine further details about it.
And we also disagree with number 34.
Number 44 too.
You disagree with number 44 too?
(Statement, Han Woo Tak)
Does that mean we'll have to summon Mr. Han Woo Tak as well?
The prosecution is insisting that the defendant is guilty...
of murder and attempted murder based on his claims,
so we ought to confirm the validity of his statement here in court.
(Subpoena to Testify)
Then Prosecution, will you put in a request...
to summon Ms. Nam, Mr. Choi, and Mr. Han so that we can...
question them as witnesses at the next trial?
- Yes, Your Honor. - Yes, Your Honor.
It's obvious that their plan is to impeach all of our witnesses.
It'll be a long trial.
What's all this?
You've been working hard to guard Hong Joo for the last few days.
I wanted to treat you. This is...
a token of my appreciation.
I feel this every time I see you.
I think you're quite stingy when it comes to expressing your gratitude.
- Don't even. - No, he's quite expressive with me.
My gosh.
Who is this?
Oh, that. That's...
My goodness. It must be her,
your crush. Aren't I right?
What?
Really?
Is this shadow the girl you have a crush on?
Yes. Well, that's right.
She must be pretty.
She looks like the innocent-looking, intelligent type.
Aren't I right?
Are you talking about yourself?
No, this girl.
Hey, how can you tell from her shadow alone?
I can totally tell.
What is wrong with your eyes?
Hey, Du Hyun.
Yes, that's right. Oh, you'll come to Lee Yu Beom's trial tomorrow?
Gosh.
She's in no position to bash me.
She can't even tell that it's her own shadow.
I know, right?
So you knew.
You've known about it anyway.
Yes, I have.
Let's not get all awkward.
I'll pretend not to know about it, so let's keep on being friends.
You're very understanding.
If that's the case...
Can we really talk like friends now, then?
Gosh, not a chance. I'm not that understanding.
My gosh, it sounds like a ton of reporters will be there tomorrow.
I really hope that I won't make any mistakes.
I'm so nervous.
You can't be more nervous than I am.
I think my heart is hurting.
Let's eat this yogurt.
- Yogurt. - Yogurt.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
We were used to having every day being like any other day,
but a very special day was about to begin.
Please get in, Mr. Choi. I'll give you a ride to the court.
Well, sure.
For some people, today will bring joy...
or rage.
It'll work out.
And some will remember today as a sad day for a long time.
(Today is an important day for you. I'll be there to root for you.)
Mr. Lee, are you ready?
Of course. I'm perfectly ready!
At the end of the day,
we'll hear someone's last words.
"Don't cry."
"Beat yourself up, but keep it short."
"But..."
"don't forget about what happened."
I'll see you inside.
You must be nervous.
Yes, I am.
Try to relax.
People will think that you're a defendant, and I'm a prosecutor.
I'll try.
Don't think that the trial has to be harder than it actually is.
The answer is clear if you think about what makes sense.
Between a lawyer colluding with a serial killer...
to attempt to kill a reporter...
and the serial killer trying to kill...
both the lawyer and the reporter,
what makes more sense to you?
Well,
I think that our arguments make more sense.
Is that so?
Gosh, I'm curious to see...
which side the judge will find more credible.
I'm curious too.
Whom will he believe more this time?
Just a second.
Hello.
Ms. Nam, it's been a while.
Are you better now?
Yes, I'm fully recovered now.
I'm glad to hear that.
It's been so long, mister.
Yes.
I really wanted to meet you again.
Me too.
All rise.
Please be seated.
Counsel and Prosecution. Everyone is here, right?
Yes, Your Honor.
- Yes, Your Honor. - Yes, Your Honor.
The prosecution is insisting that the defendant...
killed Ha Ju Won in order to conceal that he tampered with evidence...
while working on the IV drip serial murder case in the past.
Whether he manipulated the evidence or not...
is the key to solving this case.
Mr. Choi. On December 12, 2014,
you conducted a search and seizure at Myung Yi Suk's office. Correct?
Yes, I did.
I see "Vecaron, three vials" at the bottom of this list.
What is Vecaron?
It's the drug that the serial killer used...
to kill his victims.
The killer injected the drug into patients via IV drips...
and killed 11 people in total.
As we all know, it's been revealed...
that Ha Ju Won was the real killer,
but some insist that the Vecaron vials are fabricated evidence.
Do you agree with them?
Yes, I do believe that it was fabricated.
- Gosh. - That's crazy.
The vials were crucial evidence, yet you added them...
to the very bottom of the list with a different pen.
What happened?
I made the seized items list at the scene...
and went through it again when I returned to the office...
while comparing it to the actual items.
It looks like that because what was missing on the list was added then.
Then what about this handwriting?
Whose handwriting is this?
It's mine.
(Vecaron, 3 vials)
It's mine.
You were the one who conducted the search and seizure.
You also made the seized items list.
You added the additional seized items onto the list as well.
Then in your opinion, whom should be suspected first...
of tampering with the evidence?
What's going on?
How sneaky. Are they trying to dump it all on Mr. Choi?
Your Honor, it's inappropriate to ask questions that are...
solely based on speculations.
Please disregard this question.
Leading questions are permitted in cross-examinations,
so I don't think there are any problems.
Mr. Choi.
Yes, Your Honor.
You may refuse to answer the question according to Article 148...
of the Criminal Procedure Law.
Will you refuse to testify?
Yes, I won't answer the question.
Then people will think that Mr. Choi actually tampered with the evidence.
We're in big trouble.
I rest my case.
Prosecution, do you have additional questions for the witness?
Yes, Your Honor. We do.
Mr. Choi.
Where were you when you went through this list to double-check it?
I was in Prosecutor Lee's office at Yeonju Prosecutors' Office.
Then please name everyone who reviewed the seized items list...
at the scene.
Well... I, Mr. Seo,
and Mr. Lee Yu Beom who was the prosecutor in charge of the case.
Then three people had access to the seized items,
which means that all three of them could've tampered with the evidence.
- Am I right? - Yes.
1 of the 3 people received an award...
from the Public Prosecutor General after the case was resolved.
Pardon me?
An award from the Public Prosecutor General?
Why is he asking such a random question?
- Yes. - Who is it?
Lawyer Lee Yu Beom received the award.
Why didn't all of you get it?
Well, it's because we were just investigators.
All responsibility as well as honor...
should go to the prosecutor, you know.
Then when did Lawyer Lee get an offer from Hae Kwang Law Firm?
Right after he received the award.
Were you rewarded in any way after the case got solved?
I was not rewarded in any way.
When a number of people are suspected of evidence tampering,
the question of who did it inevitably arises.
The answer can be obtained easily if we tweak the question a bit.
Who benefited from the evidence tampering?
Who was the biggest beneficiary?
Who was it?
It was Lawyer Lee Yu Beom.
I rest my case.
Score. Nicely done.
(The One Who Benefited from the Evidence Tampering Is the Culprit)
(It's Lee Yu Beom!)
It looks like he got over the hardest part.
Yes, it seems so.
Am I next?
(Trial in Session)
The most important thing in determining whether...
what the defendant did was an act of self-defense or an act...
of murder and attempted murder...
is how the witness, Ms. Nam Hong Joo, got to the rooftop.
The counsel is insisting that Ha Ju Won carried you on her back.
Do you remember what happened?
Yes, I do.
But it was actually the defendant, Lee Yu Beom, who carried me.
He's insisting that he was...
physically incapable of carrying you because he was drugged.
No, he was not under the influence of any drug...
until we got to the rooftop.
How can you be so certain?
When I collapsed on the rooftop,
I saw two people holding umbrellas.
I clearly saw both of them holding umbrellas.
If Ha Ju Won had carried me like the defendant is insisting,
she wouldn't have been able to also carry an umbrella.
If the defendant had been intoxicated,
he wouldn't have thought to bring two umbrellas.
That's true.
Hey, Ms. Nam is so impressive. She's very smart.
But the umbrellas can be explained if the defendant...
hadn't been drugged.
He must've carried me to the rooftop completely sober,
and Ha Ju Won must've followed him with two umbrellas.
But he's insisting that he was physically incapable of doing it...
as he was given the same sleep inducer as you.
And the drug was found in the blood test he got done.
He probably...
took the pills himself after killing Ha Ju Won.
To be able to claim that it was self-defense.
- My gosh. - That makes sense.
That's crazy.
My goodness.
It's based on her speculations, but they're not making an objection.
I know.
Does that mean they acknowledge it?
You said Ha Ju Won must've brought two umbrellas.
Why do you think she did that?
I think it shows that she thought she'd leave the scene with him.
My gosh.
- I knew it. - She's right.
She would've only brought one had she thought that she'd leave alone.
In other words, he pushed her off the building and killed her...
when she had no intentions of killing him.
That's not self-defense. That's murder.
- She's right. - Unbelievable.
Gosh, how could he do that?
Your Honor.
- This is crazy. - Who's telling the truth?
Counsel, you may question the witness now.
Sure.
(Defense Counsel)
According to what you remember,
the defendant who wasn't drugged...
carried you to the rooftop after you were drugged, right?
Yes.
This is what the witness...
and the defendant took on the day of the incident.
There are precautions for taking this.
Would you mind reading what's written here aloud?
I'm farsighted due to my old age.
Would you mind reading what's written here aloud?
I'm farsighted due to my old age.
What's the matter? Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
"It's been reported that there can be various types of..."
"side effects including abnormal thinking..."
"and behavioral changes."
"What has been reported includes visual hallucinations..."
"Visual hallucinations,"
"auditory hallucinations,"
"and depersonalization disorder to name a few."
That's what's written there, right?
Are you saying I hallucinated?
No, that's not what I meant.
I simply listed the side effects that could occur.
I did not experience such side effects at the time of the incident.
Most people who suffer such side effects...
say things like that. They say...
that they're fine.
He turned Ms. Nam's argument into total nonsense in one blow.
That's why he didn't make an objection earlier.
He kept quiet intentionally in order to kill...
the credibility of Ms. Nam's argument.
This is crazy. Will we let him walk all over us like that?
I clearly remember what happened.
That man over there carried me to the rooftop.
He was holding an umbrella,
and he abetted Ha Ju Won's attempt to kill me.
Even the memories of the defendant carrying you to the rooftop,
holding an umbrella, and abetting Ha Ju Won's attempt to kill you...
are from after you took these pills, right?
Your Honor, the witness wasn't the only one who took those pills.
The defendant is insisting that he took them too.
If the witness' testimony is impeached because of the pills,
all of the defendant's arguments should be impeached as well.
He claims that he tried to save Ms. Nam's life...
and that he only pushed Ha Ju Won because she attacked him.
He also insists that all of it was an act of self-defense,
but everything he believes could've been...
hallucinations from the sleeping pills that he took.
That's it. We can't let them walk all over us.
Nicely done. You sure are Chief Jung's son.
This means that your testimony will be the key in solving this case.
The score is even now.
Han Woo Tak holds the key now.
Both sides' testimonies lost their credibility,
and Woo Tak is the only witness left now.
- Yes, sir. - When will he be questioned?
It'll begin right away when the trial resumes at 4pm.
Mr. Ko won't be able to get him impeached as well, right?
Ms. Son, why are you saying such a thing?
That won't happen.
We have those umbrellas, you know.
I heard Lee Yu Beom and Ha Ju Won's fingerprints were found on them.
Frankly, I don't even think that we need Han Woo Tak to testify.
The thing is, those umbrellas...
were found on the front lawn of the building, not on the rooftop.
It must've been because of the wind.
I heard that it was very windy that day.
That's what we're claiming.
They can say that they left the umbrellas on the ground floor.
We need a testimony that witnessed those umbrellas on the rooftop.
How do you think that Han Woo Tak will do?
You don't need to worry.
He's a police officer, and he was the first to arrive on the scene.
He can certainly testify.
What should I do?
The culprit will get away if I make a mistake.
Woo Tak. You don't know the colors of those umbrellas, do you?
Listen carefully. One of them was green,
and the other one was red.
They'll ask you what the umbrellas looked like.
If you can't answer that question,
they'll find out about your color blindness.
Then you'll have to leave the police.
So just memorize this.
The long umbrella was green, and the three-tier one was red.
Hong Joo.
How did you know?
That's not important right now.
You absolutely can't make any mistakes. Got it?
Forget it. You know what? Just say that you're sick and go home.
You might give it away if that lawyer keeps interrogating you.
Just leave now. I'll tell them that you fainted.
Then Lee Yu Beom might get acquitted.
That's not important right now.
You can't leave the police force.
You said you can never give up being a police officer.
If they find out about your color blindness,
you'll have to give up everything.
Get out of here while no one is around.
I'll explain it to Jae Chan.
So you should just...
Woo Tak.
I won't run away.
I won't make any mistakes.
Don't worry.
Mr. Han.
Please read the oath aloud.
If you lie after taking the oath,
you'll be punished for perjury. You're well aware of that, right?
Yes, Your Honor. I'm aware.
Woo Tak.
"Oath".
"I solemnly affirm that the evidence to be given by me..."
"shall be nothing but the truth. If any of it is untrue,"
"I pledge that I will be punished for perjury."
Oh, Hong Joo.
Why are you alone? Where's Jae Chan?
He had to go back home because he left his phone.
He'll be here soon. Where's your car?
I can't use it due to road rationing.
We haven't taken the bus together in so long.
- What are you doing? - What?
Nothing. I wasn't doing anything.
What's taking Jae Chan so long?
I'll be late for work.
