Guk Hwa...

Her name was...

Guk Hwa.

(Episode 2: The Suspect)

First off,

we should make sure they can't get your arrest warrant issued.

If they manage to get it, it'll be a headache...

for both of us.

It'll work to your disadvantage at the trial.

You met Chief Park Sang Bum, didn't you?

Yes.

Tell them he forced a confession out of you.

But he didn't.

Perhaps they forgot to recite the Miranda Rights.

No, they recited the whole thing.

They did?

They usually use force when making an arrest...

without a warrant in such an emergency situation.

They must've cursed at you at least. "You scumbag!"

Hey! Can you do something about the light bulb here?

It's so distracting. Fix it already.

Are we at a club or what?

This is bad.

Where are you going?

I need to figure out what's going on.

I'll listen to what the police have to say and eat something.

By the way, have you eaten yet?

I'm not hungry.

Really? Okay.

Hey, let me out.

What did the victim look like when she was found?

I didn't see the victim at the scene.

But from what I've heard, he slashed the girl like this...

Actually, no. He stabbed her deeply.

Not just once. 13 times.

So obviously, she wasn't found in good condition.

Thirteen times...

Who's in charge of the case?

- Chief Park Sang Bum. - Why did he take it on?

He'll retire soon.

It's not like volunteering for it will make him rich.

Well, he still has three months left.

(Chungang Police Station)

It's not looking good.

You don't want to drink this?

I'm hungry. I want food.

You can drink this after your meal.

Here you go.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

- I'd like lots of solid bits. - Sure.

Yes.

- Thank you. - Here you go.

Shall we?

I already told you everything.

I parked my car there to rest for a moment.

After a drink or two?

No, not at all.

Draw a circle on the face you saw.

You already know who it is.

It's this punk right here.

Sign your name at the bottom.

(Seung Hoon)

- Oh, boy. - Have you tried it?

What? The red ginseng extract?

Hey, when I put it on,

it stinks all day. My goodness.

Have you tried it yourself?

That's why I told you to put it on at night.

You never told me that.

Yes, I did.

Darn it. No wonder.

Everyone cares a great deal for my feet.

I have atopic dermatitis.

But it's not contagious, so don't worry.

You have asthma, don't you?

I had asthma when I was little,

so I can tell from that wheezing.

Hyun Soo.

I can relate to how you must be feeling right now,

so let me give you two pieces of advice.

Listen carefully and keep them etched in your heart.

Okay?

- Okay. - First,

the truth and justice.

Such things don't exist here, so don't even think about it.

Facts don't matter, and neither do your claims.

So what matters?

Repeat after me.

"What has to be a fact for me to be at an advantage?"

"What has to be a fact for me to be at an advantage?"

Good. Here's the second one.

From here on,

when referring to what happened last night,

everyone will just call it "that night."

Repeat after me. "That night."

"That night."

Good.

From this moment,

you won't say anything about that night.

No exceptions. Never.

Do you understand?

We were just wrapping up our DUI checkpoints.

So at first, I thought he was drunk driving.

He had a blank stare...

and seemed dangerous.

Were you the first to arrive at the scene?

The scene?

Yes, sir. I was the first to arrive.

Sorry. Could we not talk about how I threw up at the scene?

Hey.

Look at the camera, not me.

It's just embarrassing, that's all.

Seriously?

Cut the sideshow and state what you saw.

- I apologize. - In the back of the squad car,

he asked about the girl.

Be more specific.

He asked if the girl was dead.

Right.

He asked, "Is the girl dead?"

Right around now,

the police will be busy getting their stories straight.

The police come up with their version of events...

and we come up with ours.

The judge listens to both and selects which is more believable.

That's how a trial works.

So if you keep your mouth shut,

we'll be able to find out what story they're cooking up.

But...

shouldn't you know what really happened to me though?

You and your constant need for the truth.

Obsessing over that won't get you very far.

I already told you that the police...

is putting together a story of their own.

(Forensics)

- Sir, you're here. - Right.

I'm sure it all started at this table.

Remember Chief Park Sang Bum whom you met?

He went from beat cop and all the way...

to leading his own team.

Whether it's evidence or witnesses,

no matter how small the detail is,

he gathers information firsthand.

He didn't seem like a bad person.

Hyun Soo, you should know...

that there are no good or bad people here.

They live by the justice that they seem is fitting.

A cop foolishly seeking justice...

and always hoping for a happy ending?

They only exist in movies.

Besides, Chief Park?

Well, he's like...

a beast operating in silence.

A veteran.

He waits for the right timing instead of being too eager.

He even shows kindness at times.

The man waits for you to slip up.

I...

can't...

I can't breathe.

Of course.

This is a new experience for you.

No, that's not it. I...

I have asthma, you see.

And once he finds your weakness,

he will pounce and bite!

He will cut you off at the jugular...

and gnaw away your soul.

Huh?

Yes, hello.

No, I'm almost there.

I'm nearby, so wait for me.

Got it.

Hey, I'm done here.

What's going on?

I'm late for a hearing.

Judges hate tardiness,

and it's not how I should treat clients.

What about me then?

I'll be back once I'm done.

What should you do until I come back?

I'll keep my mouth shut.

Okay, good.

(Seoul Southern District Court)

(Seoul Taxi)

Case number 2021KD102635.

I will rule on the assault charges.

It is clear that the defendant caused bodily harm...

- which is why I sentence him to... - A lawyer shouldn't be late.

Don't be ridiculous. I'm right on time.

Put on a neck tie.

Forget it. I haven't worn one since middle school graduation.

- Here. - What the...

As if a neck tie suits what I'm wearing.

Put it on if you don't want to get fined.

Unbelievable.

Let me see.

That's not mine.

Is that so?

Hold on. What's your case number?

Seriously?

One's allowed to get confused. It's this right here, isn't it?

Case number 2021KD203895.

Defendant Lee Young Chan, please approach.

His lawyer Shin Joong Han is also present.

Darn it.

Hello?

This is Chief Park Sang Bum...

from Chungang Police Criminal Department.

The police?

I'm calling with information regarding Ms. Hong Guk Hwa.

Are you her father?

Just tell her I can't be reached.

Actually, we need identification.

Identification?

(Autopsy Report)

(Autopsy Report)

Ms. Hong doesn't seem to be your biological daughter.

May I ask the details of your relationship?

Guk Hwa's mother passed away two years ago.

She held out with stage-three cancer.

Our marriage was short,

so Guk Hwa and I are only family on paper.

The house is still a crime scene,

so you won't have access for a while.

I don't live there anyway, so it's fine.

I left the house after Guk Hwa's mom passed away.

You know, because of the awkwardness.

We need you to consent to the autopsy.

(Autopsy Consent Form)

(Cho Kang Pil, Stepfather)

A neck tie hardly goes with this outfit.

That neck tie let you get off without a fine.

Otherwise, you would've gotten a fine of a few thousand dollars.

How many months?

I'll pay in full.

You get the ten percent regular customer discount.

So that brings the total to...

(Authorized)

With an app, you might as well start a lawyer delivery business.

I thought I got a ten percent discount.

There's surtax to consider.

It's why I said you should pay cash.

You really are something, aren't you?

Well, one must make a living.

Until next time, then.

Sure.

Unbelievable.

What on earth did I just say?

Hey, you.

When you get caught after conning people,

it does fatten my wallet which I'm not complaining about.

But it's about time you step away from that life.

Haven't you shed...

enough innocent tears?

What a jerk.

One must make a living, right?

You'll end up living off prison food at that rate.

I'll see you around.

(Authorized Personnel Only)

(Authorized Personnel Only)

- Chief. - Yes?

Kim Hyun Soo's parents are here.

Is there an empty room?

I'll get one ready right now.

Good.

- Hello. - Goodness.

Are you Hyun Soo's parents?

- Yes. - Yes, hello.

There.

Relax, okay?

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Sweetheart, my goodness. You look so weary.

Are you all right? You're not hurt?

Tell me, Hyun Soo. This is a misunderstanding, right?

The police are mistaken, right?

Yes, tell us.

I can't say I had nothing to do with it.

What about the knife?

They said you had the knife. It's not true, right?

It is true.

But I didn't kill her.

This is so funny.

This stop is... Jangsong Station, Exit 3.

- The next stop is... - This looks weird.

- My gosh. - But you see, this one...

Look at this spot right here.

I know. I have no idea what this is.

How do you do this though? It's pretty cool.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

- I'm a lawyer. - A lawyer?

That's right. Give me a call.

I'll do a good job.

But I must say, you're quite clumsy.

You'll get caught in no time if you use the camera on your phone.

Sir.

Article 14.2 of the Sexual Offences Act...

states that you may be sentenced to jail for up to five years...

or fined up to 30,000 dollars when you illegally film someone.

I guess you didn't know.

Hey, miss.

That man over there filmed you without your consent.

Here, I'm a lawyer.

If you ever see the video...

uploaded onto the web, give me a call.

This is my specialty.

- A video? - Yes, this man right here.

- Excuse me. - Hey!

Did you secretly film us?

- Where's your phone? - Hand over the phone.

- I didn't film anything. - Then show us your phone.

- Feel free to contact me. - Thank you.

You'll be paying me, so there's no need to thank me.

- Hand over the phone! - Show us your phone.

(Seoul Chungang Police Station)

Hello.

My goodness.

Darn it.

Why is it pouring all of a sudden? Darn it.

Hey.

Where is Hyun Soo? Where...

What's going on?

Hey, Hyun Soo. What are you doing here?

My parents are here.

I see.

Hello.

I'm Shin Joong Han, a lawyer.

I see, hello.

He's my lawyer.

That jerk...

Oh, boy. What's with the weather?

What a lousy day.

Why are you sticking your nose into everything?

What are you talking about?

Watch what you say.

Are you struggling these days?

You haven't told the prosecution that he should be indicted, right?

Because you have that icky feeling hanging over your head,

like when you forget to wipe your butt after pooping.

I'm already flushing the toilet paper down the toilet.

It's already over.

Getting ready to clean the pot when the rice isn't even cooked yet?

The way I see it, it's only starting now.

Don't be greedy.

I'll jump rope with Hyun Soo, so you hold the rope.

Do it with me. Why would you do it with Hyun Soo?

And look at yourself. You're retiring in three months.

Don't be so greedy,

or your rope will snap.

This coffee tastes awful.

Hey, Hyun Soo. What did I say?

I told you to keep your mouth shut.

But how? My parents came to see me.

I didn't say much though.

Everything you and your parents said was recorded.

If you said anything stupid...

I'm sure you did.

They'll use it as evidence,

and I'll have to beg the prosecutor to have a look at it.

Eventually, we'll only get to see the footage...

once your trial begins.

I said...

I didn't do it because it really wasn't me.

My mom was worried.

You're at it again.

Fine.

Then try putting yourself in the judge's shoes.

All right.

Your fingerprints were found all over the scene.

You had bloodstains all over your body...

and even had a bloody knife in your pocket.

Think about it.

Who do you think killed her?

The man who last saw her alive?

Or someone totally random...

who just happens to be a scumbag?

The "truth" you're telling...

won't help your situation at all.

You really need to tell yourself,

"Darn it. I shouldn't be doing this."

Remember that,

or for the rest of your life...

you're doomed. How many times must I tell you this?

(Holding Cell 2)

Do you...

also think that I killed her?

He won't confess?

With all this solid evidence?

What is the prosecutor saying?

I haven't forwarded the case yet.

I don't think there will be any problems.

What's keeping you?

Shall I just do it?

If we have his confession, it'll be a done deal.

That's what we'll do, then.

I know it's still too early,

but like I've mentioned before,

a good friend of mine is the head of Hansung Group's legal team.

He's looking for a seasoned detective...

with lots of field experience.

You were the only one I could think of, so I told him about you.

But I need some solid achievements to vouch for you.

This would be perfect.

(Holding Cells, Chungang Police Station)

How's your foot?

Since when were you worried about my foot?

Come on. Everyone knows already.

Congratulations.

Hey, Kang Da Kyung.

A person died, and someone's about to go to jail.

How could you be congratulating me now?

What's with you? Are you going through menopause?

- Bingo. - Come on. Tell me what's going on.

I need to write a few lines to keep my job.

Gosh, seriously...

Okay, write this down.

One, three, two, zero, two,

four, seven, two, two, three, eight.

Nonghyup Bank. Send me 300 dollars.

Come on. Are you really going to be like this?

Hey, I don't have to stoop that low yet.

Darn it.

What shall we eat?

It's raining, so how about jjamppong?

- Hey, guys! - My goodness.

- You scared me. - Hey, Kang.

How about some beef, and then coffee later?

Why are we talking here? Let's talk outside.

- Step out for a smoke. - Yes, sir.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Thank you.

Your father's taxi is at the National Forensic Service.

He needs it to run his business...

which concerns me.

I made it clear that they should return it as soon as possible.

Did your lawyer tell you to keep quiet?

Unbelievable.

Those who call themselves lawyers?

They're the kind I can't understand.

Shouldn't they at least ask what happened at the scene?

How else can they speak for their clients?

I...

Detective.

Go on.

You shouldn't be doing this.

Do what?

You shouldn't be talking to me...

without my lawyer present.

(Chungang Police Station)

Turn Kim Hyun Soo over to the prosecution...

saying we have grounds for an indictment.

- Sure. - Yes, sir.

Detective Lee,

- call the prosecutors' office. - Got it.

Detective Choi, put the case file together.

Yes, sir.

Sir, it has just been reported as a top story online.

("Chrysanthemum Murder Case")

(Police has a 25-year-old male in custody.)

(Reporter Kang Da Kyung, Seoul Daily)

No way.

Who was this?

- What do you mean? - Don't be ridiculous.

(Chungang Police Station)

You blabbermouths!

What on earth?

Chrysanthemum?

("Chrysanthemum Murder Case")

As you can see, the police are limiting access to the neighbourhood.

The police have been busy canvassing the area since dawn...

which has the local residents on edge.

- So it begins. - Fewer residents...

have been out and about.

Here we go.

Meanwhile, as the police continue to investigate...

(Shin Joong Han Law Firm)

(Shin Joong Han Law Firm)

What's all this?

Darn it.

The bills don't take a break, do they?

Now you get delivered?

Where were you when I needed you?

Darn it.

(Shin Joong Han Law Firm)

Darn.

(Shin Joong Han Law Firm)

Darn it.

What is known as atopic dermatitis mainly occurs...

where there is skin-to-skin contact.

Common triggers of this eczema are environmental factors.

Darn it.

Darn...

Keeping it clear of infections is key when treating the eczema.

Yes, it's a goal!

- What a beautiful kick. - Son Heung Min!

Just like that, we're back in the game.

The warrant for the arrest of the suspect...

in the Chrysanthemum Murder Case will be validated today.

The suspect who now has...

an arrest warrant requested against him...

will be considered a defendant by the Seoul District Court.

Whether he'll be reprimanded will be decided today.

The suspect drove his father's taxi...

on the pretence of being in business.

He then accepted the female victim as a passenger...

and drove her home.

Once they were at her residence,

he raped and murdered her.

He was caught while driving away from the scene.

During the initial arrest, nearby the crime scene...

(The woman I used to love)

- Hello? What is it? - Why would I talk to Dad?

- You talk to him. - He said he'd buy it for you.

I wasn't the one who promised.

Whatever!

Don't buy it for me if you don't want to.

You haven't finished your meal.

Hae In!

Thanks for breakfast.

Did you hear that?

Was that about the violin she mentioned some time ago?

Buy it for her. It's not like it costs a fortune.

Besides, her dad's a lawyer.

You didn't send last month's child support.

Is that so?

Sorry about that. Things have been hectic lately.

I'll send it during the week.

Mr. Shin Joong Han, do you even know what grade...

your daughter is in?

Of course. As if I wouldn't know.

Darn.

She's in elementary school.

She goes to middle school next year.

I'm up to my neck paying for her academy classes,

so send the money soon.

Okay, I got it. I will...

(Get off Work on Time)

Unbelievable.

I hope they fit.

What about my own clothes?

They're evidence.

(Detective)

Hyun Soo, don't worry too much. Hold on a second.

What is it?

What is he wearing?

(Detective)

You just had to put him in this, didn't you?

I get what you're after,

but at least give him something decent to wear.

Must you play dirty?

We made sure it was something decent.

Anyway, we don't have time for this.

Hey. Hyun Soo, listen.

Don't say anything until you're in court.

Aren't you coming with me?

I'll get there myself, so stay energized.

It'll be all right, okay?

- Over here! - Do you have anything to say?

- Why did you kill her? - Do you feel remorse?

- Please say a few words. - Over here!

- Wait. - Hold on.

- Any words? - How do you feel right now?

- Please say a few words. - How do you feel?

- Why did you do it? - Any words?

- Please say a few words. - Over here!

- Just a second. - Wait!

- How do you feel right now? - Why did you do it?

Do you admit to the charges?

Please say a few words!

Don't you have anything to say?

Please say a few words!

A few words will do.

Are you good?

Hey, sit back and be quiet.

Come on. Let's get moving!

I'll get going.

Mom, the police are here. What do we do?

(Police)

What is this about?

Here's a search and seizure warrant.

Excuse us then. Come on!

But...

Hurry on inside.

Each take a room...

and someone pack this dresser.

Search the trash as well.

Yes, sir.

Hold on.

No, don't.

- There's nothing there. - Collect prescription drugs...

and the hard drive from tablets, laptops, and desktops.

- Yes, sir. - Hey, that's mine!

Goodness. I apologize.

But that's mine!

How am I supposed to study?

Dad, tell them to stop!

(Yangjae)

(Way Out)

(Claims that he's innocent, Didn't try to destroy evidence)

(Only circumstantial evidence)

(Fingerprints on the glass and the liquor bottle)

The suspect and victim's prints and bloodstains were found...

all over the scene.

The suspect had a knife covered with the victim's blood.

And...

we're still waiting for the results from the NFS lab,

but drugs were detected in his urine.

Immediately after the incident, he was seen fleeing in a taxi.

(Suspect Fleeing the Scene)

Witness 1.

Yoo Seung Hoon, a neighbour.

He saw them at around 11pm.

Witness 2 is Ha No Seok.

He witnessed Kim Hyun Soo fleeing Hong Guk Hwa's home.

Kim Hyun Soo denies killing her...

but has admitted to everything else.

So we don't have his confession that he killed her.

This wound on the victim's hand...

proves that the two of them had a fight.

And there's this.

(Attempt to Destroy Evidence)

He attempted to destroy evidence.

I think we have more than enough to indict him.

Are you sure?

I can't be more confident.

It took you three seconds to say that.

Is something bothering you?

Well...

Maybe the fact that Kim Hyun Soo...

is just an ordinary college student with no prior.

Come on.

No one is born a murderer.

My point exactly.

If I lose this case...

What would be the reason?

That won't happen.

This is strange.

This is so unlike you.

What makes you so sure?

(Prosecutor An Tae Hee)

Come in.

My goodness.

Long time no see, Prosecutor An.

My gosh. Indeed, it's been so long, Mr. Shin.

My goodness. You should get going. I'll be in touch.

All right.

Bye.

So? How's your foot?

The same.

Do you know a good doctor?

Look at this. It's not getting better.

My gosh.

The review of the warrant...

isn't done to determine whether or not you're guilty.

Right now, all they have is circumstantial evidence,

which isn't enough.

So the prosecutor has to investigate this further,

and the court needs to decide whether or not...

they'll keep you detained.

This shouldn't happen,

but even if they decide to issue an arrest warrant,

don't worry too much.

It doesn't mean it's over.

Where did you get it?

This...

Detective Park Sang Bum gave me this.

Really?

That's odd. That's out of his character.

- Please get ready. - Sure.

All rise.

(Court)

Please be seated.

Case Number 2021HJ235935.

The accused is Kim Hyun Soo. We will begin now.

Stand up and bow.

The accused may remain silent...

and may refuse to answer questions.

Even if you refuse to answer a question,

it will not be used against you.

Mr. Kim, you may be seated.

Let's hear from the prosecution first.

Well...

This is a serious case.

There are 117 pieces of evidence,

which prove that the accused is guilty of the murder.

However, Mr. Kim is still denying the murder.

He resisted arrest.

He tampered with the crime scene and tried to destroy evidence.

Furthermore, this is a serious crime...

that can result in the heaviest penalty,

so we're concerned he'd try to flee.

As you know, this case is all over the news at the moment,

so we believe that he should be isolated.

Ergo, we request that he be detained.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, Your Honour.

Did you kill Ms. Hong Guk Hwa?

No.

I did not.

I...

We had a few drinks together,

and I fell asleep. When I woke up,

I found her like that.

So you do not admit to the charges.

Correct.

Counsel.

Mr. Kim's situation isn't looking good.

Right.

That may be the case now.

However, the supplementary investigation...

will prove that Mr. Kim is not guilty.

I believe that he should be released...

so he can be fully prepared for his trial.

Mr. Kim truly hopes...

to prove his innocence through the trial,

so I can assure you...

that the prosecution needn't be concerned...

that he'd flee.

I see.

I will review everything carefully.

Your Honour.

Mr. Kim has been living an exemplary life.

He is a college student with a clean record.

The prosecution believes he should be indicted...

based on circumstantial evidence and the witnesses' statements,

but not a single person...

actually witnessed the murder.

I trust...

that you will make a wise decision, Your Honour.

Your Honour.

The victim of this case...

is an innocent woman,

and she was stabbed 13 times.

I'd like to once again emphasize...

the severity and the brutality of the crime.

Okay.

I understand both points of view.

That concludes the hearing for the warrant validation.

Mr. Shin?

Are you sure about this case?

It's getting a lot of attention.

Being a lawyer and all, I shouldn't back out.

I'm concerned, that's all.

I appreciate your concern, Your Honour.

All right. I'll look forward to it then.

Sure.

Hyun...

How was it today?

Give me the scoop.

Mind your own business.

How on earth can I? Just tell me how it was.

Kang Da Kyung.

That article you wrote...

was the same as a guilty verdict.

As a reporter, don't you have...

a sense of responsibility or a guilty conscience?

I feel bad too,

but others would've written it if I hadn't.

Look.

A girl as pretty as a movie star...

had a one-night stand...

and was stabbed 13 times.

- Of course people are all over it. - Stop that.

Look for yourself.

How did it go?

Did the defendant plead guilty?

What did he say?

- How did it go? - Can you say a few words?

- What are your predictions? - How will it go?

- Thank you, all. - Please say a few words.

She's having a field day.

- Ms. An, wait! - Hold on.

Ms. An, just a second.

How... did it go?

It wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

I really didn't do it.

I didn't do this.

Shoot, goal in!

- Goal in! - Goal in!
