Thanks for everything.

("Chrysanthemum Murder Case")

He'll be indicted, right?

Yes, I'm sure. The higher-ups have already approved it.

My, that's fast.

As if it was planned out from the get-go.

What's the rush?

A girl died. We have the killer...

and plenty of evidence.

Well...

Then have you found a motive?

It doesn't matter. If there's no clear motive,

we'll squeeze a confession out of him.

If he insists that he's innocent, he'll end up...

with drug offences, rape, and special assault charges.

("Chrysanthemum Murder Case")

There is so much evidence...

that they're cherry-picking the best ones.

Darn it.

(New Inmate, Kim Hyun Soo)

Age, 25.

A college student.

What's your religion?

I don't have one.

What's your affiliation?

Pardon?

Your gang affiliation. Are you in a gang?

No, I'm not.

Do you take anything?

I take Ventolin, for my asthma.

Take that off too.

Next.

Next.

Everyone, in your cell!

(Correctional Service)

Anxiety, fear.

They're typical symptoms of panic disorder.

You see it a lot in prisons.

What's your name?

I'm Kim Hyun Soo.

Prepare for lights out!

Lights out.

I'm sorry.

Stop!

I said, stop!

Be quiet, you moron!

Can we get some sleep here?

Shut your mouth, jerk!

Wake up!

Wake up!

- Hey. - Did you get some sleep?

- Yes. - Hey.

Be quiet!

- Where's the other one? - Keep your cell organized.

Can you check?

- What is this? - Did you find something?

(Jung-Gu 05)

(Local Bus)

The address...

Let's see.

Seriously?

Darn it.

(Kim Hyun Soo: commission 90,000 dollars)

(Kim Hyun Soo: commission 70,000 dollars)

Right. Thank you.

You're probably aware of this,

but too much evidence is stacked against him,

and he's at a disadvantage.

The worst-case scenario?

He could receive a life sentence.

Any lawyer who says that the indictment can be quashed...

or that he could only receive probation...

can be considered a fraud.

I see.

I will consider all moving parts...

and see what can help Hyun Soo the most.

However, it would be costly.

I need to collect evidence, talk to witnesses,

and also acquire help...

from forensic doctors and profilers if needed.

But...

we couldn't afford that.

Yes, I'm well aware of that.

Lawyers at fancy law firms charge clients by the hour.

That will include the time they spend...

sipping coffee and playing mobile games.

Just like a taximeter.

In my case though, I won't ask for more...

than the initial fee.

So what would be your price?

I was thinking somewhere along 70,000 dollars.

Oh, no.

I'm afraid we don't have that kind of money...

Yes, of course. I'm well aware of that.

It's why I came here...

thinking that I would only ask for 60,000 dollars.

I know it's a lot,

but for Hyun Soo's sake,

you might consider taking out a loan.

We can't take out any more against the house.

I'm truly sorry.

Then your other choice would be a public defender.

However, public defenders are civil servants.

They take the case files given to them in the morning,

meet briefly with their clients,

and just accept the penalty thrown to them by a judge.

Then leave the courthouse, grab a coffee from Starbucks,

and move on to the next client.

That would also be a bad option for Hyun Soo.

Could there be another way?

(Retainer)

(Fifty thousand dollars)

Here.

Since this is for Hyun Soo, I will lower my fee...

to 50,000 dollars.

Please sign right here.

(Prosecutor An Tae Hee Press Conference, 11am)

I doubt you'll understand all the legal terms.

If you can sign here...

Read it all though.

Yes, of course. That would be wise.

All right!

Come on.

- All right. - Pass the ball, darn it.

That's it.

Nicely done.

- Bring it on! - That's all right.

Unbelievable. Is that the best you can do?

(Consideration promotes virtue and altercations lead to regrets.)

Please don't.

That's Baekho Gang.

Their operation is rooted in Busan.

This is fine weather we have.

It's perfect for a good beating.

They're like a pack of wolves,

so don't let them gain leverage on you.

If you do, you'll be chewed out like him.

Constantly.

It really wasn't me.

- As if. - Is that how it'll be?

- But... - Hey. Bring him to me.

So everyone turns a blind eye?

Anyone who intervenes...

meets the same fate.

One.

Two.

Three.

This is how you get someone to talk.

Sure. Duly noted.

All right.

Light touches, boys. You don't want to kill him.

Right.

All right. Let's see.

Goodness. What happened...

to your face, huh?

Who's he?

- Let's get you up. - That's Do Ji Tae.

The lion of the Northern Prison.

You'll be all right.

Some ointment will clear these wounds.

Following the ruling of the court,

an arrest warrant was validated...

for the suspect in the Chrysanthemum Murder Case.

Due to him being a flight risk...

and the evidence submitted by the police and prosecution...

My apologies, Ms. An. I let myself in.

When did you get here?

Why didn't you call me in advance?

Well, I know how busy you are.

So it seems like the suspect has been put in confinement...

According to Article 266 Clause 3-2 of the Criminal Procedure Act,

the representing prosecutor in an ongoing case...

has the right to prohibit one's access to case files.

You know that.

(Prosecutor An Tae Hee)

Yes, I do. It is why... Here you go.

It is why I'm filing a demurrer.

(Application for Access to Case Files)

You move quicker than I thought.

One should do what is needed, right?

This case...

It seems like the police moved hastily on this one.

Some parts of the case even seem forced.

Well, in my eyes, the evidence is solid.

I guess we're entitled to our opinions.

(Fool)

The worst-case scenario...

would be involuntary manslaughter.

When the victim was slashed 13 times?

It's why...

That is exactly why I don't think Hyun Soo is the killer.

Not once but 13 times.

It has to be the result of underlying resentment.

Is that so?

Judging by the level of brutality,

I'm leaning toward this not being...

Kim Hyun Soo's first killing.

Not this again.

We both know that the police...

only have two options.

Find definitive evidence that links Hyun Soo to the crime...

or get a confession out of him.

All you have is circumstantial evidence though...

which is why you had him sent to prison. Right?

You have it seriously wrong.

That was the court's decision.

A mere prosecutor doesn't possess that kind of power.

Mr. Shin,

since you need to be present at the hearing...

Check this place out.

They do custom dress shoes.

Looks expensive.

It's nice though.

We should get going then.

Don't you have a press conference at 11am?

Goodness. Nothing gets past you, does it?

Shall we?

Keep a spare nebulizer just in case.

Please sign here.

(Kim Hyun Soo)

I'm sorry but...

Could I get an anti-inflammatory painkiller?

You don't look like you need it.

(Infirmary)

Please.

Excuse me.

Here. They're painkillers.

I hope they can help.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry. Please...

I gave him medicine.

You did?

But he belongs to us.

You have some nerve.

You. Know your place.

Around 4:25am on Wednesday,

Ms. Hong, a 25-year-old female,

was found murdered in her residence.

(Implementing Justice and Protecting Human Rights)

At a five-minute distance from the scene,

the police picked up Mr. Kim, the 25-year-old male suspect,

and escorted him to the station.

Jeez. Our chief cleans up well.

He finally has some good luck, for a change.

I heard he already got an offer.

Hansung? What's the average salary there?

The police presume that Kim raped...

and brutally murdered Hong, the victim,

- between midnight and 1am, - I'm home.

the estimated time of Hong's death,

under the influence of alcohol and drugs.

Based on the 13 stab wounds found on the victim's body,

the prosecution is leaning...

toward it being a killing with malice aforethought.

Due to the brutality of the crime...

and the possibility of the suspect having committed additional crimes,

the prosecution has decided...

to disclose the identity of the suspect to the public,

based on the Special Act...

on the Punishment of Specific Violent Crimes.

The accused is Kim Hyun Soo, a 25-year-old male.

He is a college student...

with no criminal record or any previous convictions,

but the police and prosecution are investigating him...

as they believe he was deeply involved in the murder.

You said there was a possibility that he committed additional crimes.

- Hey. - Could this be a serial case?

- How embarrassing. - You little...

- What? - You scumbag.

- Nothing has been confirmed yet. - Do you want to die?

- You little jerk. - Get lost.

Good grief.

Did Kim Hyun Soo and the victim take drugs together?

(Northern Prison)

(Implementing Justice and Protecting Human Rights)

We can't tell you the details...

until we have the autopsy results...

- Hyun Soo, is it you? - Yes, it's me.

- I'm at the prison... - Hey! Stop.

This call is being recorded,

so calm down and be careful what you say.

- Okay? - Okay.

So? How are you holding up?

Well, I'm all right.

What's going to happen to me now?

In about ten days,

they'll hold a hearing to review the legality of confinement.

They want to make sure the arrest was lawful and reasonable.

Well, you don't need to worry about it.

Ten days?

I can still get out, right?

Hyun Soo.

It's only natural to have a lot on your mind when you're in there,

but try not to think about anything. Okay?

Empty your mind. It'll help you cope with this.

I want to,

but it's hard.

Yes, I understand. But try not to think about anything.

Just tell yourself this one thing, Hyun Soo.

"I am getting out of here, no matter what."

Okay?

Okay.

(Medium Conference Room)

Has he confessed?

Has Mr. Kim Hyun Soo confessed to everything?

We'll share more details with you at our next briefing.

I'm Kim Hyun Soo's attorney.

I'm an attorney who represents Mr. Kim Hyun Soo, the accused.

- May we interview you? - Sure.

The prosecution insists that Mr. Kim is guilty...

based on circumstantial evidence alone.

Here's what I'd like to ask the prosecutors.

Rape. Serial murders.

Where is the evidence?

The police made a hasty judgement and pegged him as the killer...

before they even launched their investigation.

And based on the results of the police investigation,

the prosecutors abused their authority...

and took the liberty of indicting Mr. Kim.

Hello, sir. It's been so long since we last spoke.

Yes.

You know, the Chrysanthemum case is causing quite a stir these days.

Would I be able to get Kim Hyun Soo's address?

Why... Why are you doing this?

Let go.

Help!

Hey, kiddo.

Why... Why are you doing this?

The court isn't the only place where trials take place.

This is why one should never do such a horrible thing.

Just a moment. This will hurt a little.

Stay still. Just a moment.

There, it's done.

Oh, boy.

My goodness. This is bad.

Doctor, can we just... I want to just chop them off.

The whole feet.

You see, these little buggers are very smart.

If we do that, they'll just move to a different part of the body.

They'll target the weakest part of your body.

Usually, a soft, moist spot that will make a good home.

For example...

- Darn it. - I'll prescribe you some ointment.

Apply plenty of it on the affected area.

You know the plastic wrap, right?

Make sure you wrap it around the feet.

You mean, the cling wrap for food?

Yes.

But wouldn't it keep the area wet?

If you don't want to do that, you can use aluminium foil instead.

What? That's nonsense.

I can't walk around like that. They're not sweet potatoes.

Well, if you don't want to do that...

We'll have to chop them off.

The entire feet.

Gosh, seriously...

Her name is Seo Soo Jin.

She and Kim Hyun Soo went to the same college.

She joined us eight months ago,

and she's currently interning in the patent team.

(Bumhan Law Firm)

Soo Jin, you're looking handsome.

(Lawyer Park Mi Kyung)

Hello, Lawyer Choi Myung Woo speaking.

Mr. Choi, I'm taking Seo Soo Jin.

Go get your things first.

The thing is, I've never worked on a criminal case yet.

No one comes here already knowing what to do.

Keep at it, and you'll become a pro in no time.

This is his home address.

What are you waiting for? We don't have time.

Yes, ma'am.

(Lawyer Park Mi Kyung)

Yes!

Hey, yes.

I'm here.

- I'm coming in now. - May I help you?

Do you want to talk to him?

No. It's okay, sir.

(Chief Park Sang Bum)

Nothing. The guys who are standing guard here.

- Thank you. - Take it easy.

I'm coming in now.

Thank you for the energy drink.

Okay. All right.

(Duro-Gesic D-TRANS Patch, Fentanyl)

Hello?

(All calls are recorded by correctional officers.)

I doubt it's to disclose the evidence,

so why did you ask me here?

Kim Hyun Soo...

Do you believe he's innocent?

Why are you so sure...

that he's guilty?

That night,

Hyun Soo had at least three opportunities to come clean.

When he first found Hong Guk Hwa's body,

he could've called the police,

but he fled the scene after trying to destroy evidence.

I'm sure he was flustered.

He wasn't thinking straight.

Fine.

When he was driven back to the crime scene...

after being caught at the DUI checkpoint...

and at the police station,

all he did...

was ask if the girl had died.

Is the girl...

dead?

Because he didn't do it.

That's at least what he believed.

I...

I don't know why or how...

she was killed.

I don't recall what happened,

but that I can be sure of.

He's claiming not to remember.

You of all people know that it's common among killers.

Right here.

And here.

(Information and Reception)

Getting out of there was all he cared about.

Sang Bum,

that's exactly why I think he's innocent.

Because if he were the killer,

he would've bolted out of there.

I've been a major crime detective for 30 years.

I can tell who's guilty by just looking at someone.

You're a guru, is that it?

That's what you must be.

Do you know which kind is the hardest to catch?

Those with eyes like Hyun Soo.

Those who don't look like criminals.

They never let go of their innocent act.

"I don't recall."

"I have no memory of it. Bring me the evidence."

An evil being...

in disguise.

(Protocol of Interrogation)

Kim Hyun Soo...

might not be the innocent kid you think he is.

Those who kill other people?

As their methods get crueller,

they put on thicker masks.

They hold innocent gazes, put on sweet smiles,

talk in a calm voice, and are charmingly handsome.

And then in a blink of an eye,

they turn into monsters.

To me,

Kim Hyun Soo is like that too.

(Self-Reflection for Self-Reform, Order)

It makes them compliant, you see.

I can offer you my help.

If you need it, that is.

- Hello. - Yes, hello.

Hey, kid. Do you have shampoo?

Washing your scalp with soap will give you dandruff.

Here. Go ahead.

Thank you.

Are you and Do Ji Tae acquaintances?

We're not.

Kiddo, don't you also find it to be weird?

Why would Do Ji Tae show interest in someone like you?

Anyway, I'll see you around.

Be well.

I'm lawyer Park Mi Kyung.

Please have a seat.

Right.

I felt bad about what was happening...

to a student at my Alma mater.

I raised my concern to Ms. Park,

and she gladly agreed to talk to you both.

Did you already sign with Mr. Shin Joong Han?

No, not yet.

He's a third-rate attorney.

In our circle, he's known for his work with petty offenders.

He negotiates payment with clients and demands hefty retainers...

while doing none of the actual work.

No wonder. I told you he seemed shady.

Right.

Here.

Thank you.

Meanwhile, our law firm...

has over a dozen lawyers who were former prosecutors and judges...

as well as an advisory team...

consisting of former detectives and NFS experts.

I have one clear rule at my law firm.

Whether the client is innocent or guilty,

he or she is to be returned home.

I will fight for Hyun Soo myself.

But...

what about the retainer?

We can't afford much, you see.

Pro bono.

She'll do it for free.

- Right. - Sorry?

You'll take on Hyun Soo's case for free?

That's right.

So please do not be so worried...

and let us fight your battle.

My gosh. Thank you so much.

Goodness. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

(Shin Joong Han Law Firm)

Darn.

This is ridiculous.

This had better work.

This little...

I don't even know anymore.

Whatever. I don't know.

I really don't.

(Division 2)

Sorry?

A new lawyer? What do you mean?

Her name is Park Mi Kyung.

She's the CEO of Bumhan Law Firm.

We met her yesterday.

Dad, I like Mr. Shin Joong Han.

Why would you suddenly do this?

You like him because you have no idea.

Apparently, everyone in the industry calls him a third-rate attorney.

He specializes in petty cases.

And he doesn't do any work until he gets paid.

Even so, he's been helping me all along.

I'll feel bad if we suddenly hire someone else.

Why would you feel bad? He's done nothing.

Hyun Soo, Ms. Park has kindly offered...

to represent you free of charge.

For free?

Yes. She feels bad that you're being groundlessly accused...

and wants to help you, free of charge.

You know we can't afford a lawyer. I'm so relieved.

Now, you have a competent lawyer representing you,

so everything will be okay.

Don't worry about anything.

Let's stay strong, okay?

Okay.

(Underwear Clearance)

How much is this?

There's no price tag.

- If you buy 4, it's 10 dollars. - It's 10 dollars?

Oh, that boxer. It's 3 for 15 dollars.

- Okay, I'll get this one. - Sure.

- I don't need the box. - Okay.

Hey, I did my best to pick out a nice one.

I hope this fits you.

Thank you.

And...

Here. This is in your inmate account.

My inmate account?

Yes, it's money you can spend here.

The balance was zero, so I've deposited a small amount.

I see. I guess my parents didn't know.

Thank you.

No worries. It's not even much.

Well...

Mr. Shin.

Yes, go ahead.

What? What is it?

Well...

This.

I really appreciate it,

but to tell you the truth,

I...

I have a new lawyer now.

What do you mean?

According to my parents,

a different lawyer...

has offered to help me for free.

Really?

For free? I see.

Have they decided to go with a public defender?

I don't think so.

The lawyer's name is Park Mi Kyung.

She has her own law firm.

Park Mi Kyung?

Yes.

Lawyer Park Mi Kyung. I see.

She's famous. She's very well-known...

and well-respected.

I'm sorry. You helped me at my lowest point.

Don't be sorry.

This is probably better for you anyway.

All right.

If your parents have already decided to go with her,

what can I do?

Well...

All right.

Hold on.

Then should I just get going?

Darn it. I wish you had given me a heads-up.

Goodness. This is really awkward.

My gosh.

Please take this back.

No. I bought them for you, so just keep them.

And keep this too.

Thank you for all your help.

All right. Stay strong.

I hope everything goes well.

Hyun Soo, just in case...

No, never mind.

Let's go.

(Advanced Correctional Practice)

- Thank you. - No problem.

Hey, take this.

- It's okay. Take it. - Thank you.

- What are you doing? - You punk!

- Hey. - What's wrong with you?

Oh, no.

- Darn it. See this? - My back hurts.

- Like this? - Okay.

Keep it down.

- Goodness gracious. - Look at this.

Hold this!

- Oh, dear. - Come on.

Hey, you're young. Why are you so weak?

Hey, do it properly.

- Hey. - Hey, you need to do a better job.

- My goodness. - Hey.

- Look at this punk. - What's wrong with you?

- Hey. - Do a better job.

- Darn it. - I told you to hold it!

(Bumhan Law Firm)

- Mr. Shin Joong Han? - Yes.

Hello. I'm Seo Soo Jin, a lawyer who is assisting Ms. Park...

in this case.

Okay, let's go.

The thing is...

What's the matter?

She had an unexpected...

- She had... - Did she tell you to say...

that she had to step out?

No. She's really not here at the moment.

This is rude.

She stole my case from me,

and she's treating me like this? This is disrespectful.

I'm not following.

We met with Kim Hyun Soo's parents and...

Look, Ms. Seo Soo Jin.

That is called stealing.

I'm sorry, but I do not agree.

Ms. Seo, is this why you studied law?

To be used in theft?

To list these pathetic excuses?

It can't be why you studied the Penal Code and the Civil Code,

which is very hard to do.

If you'd like to leave a message for her, I'll happily pass it along.

Do I really have to say it?

I'm sure you know why I'm here.

Darn it.

(Punish the murderer!)

I didn't know people could smoke and even deal drugs...

inside a prison.

It is not allowed, but this place is just like the outside world.

It's possible for those with power.

Cell phones, cigarettes, and meth.

Do Ji Tae controls all three items.

Trading them without his permission...

will result in the loss of a leg.

Out of these mongrels,

who could've traded cigarettes behind my back?

Sorry?

Figure it out.

But... how?

If one says he can't remember,

make him remember.

But how...

am I supposed to know?

You will.

You have to.

He's known as Bone Breaker.

He can break every bone in your body, you see.

Please... Please don't hurt me.

Please don't.

No, wait.

Just a second. What if...

What if I really don't know?

You do.

I'm sorry,

but he doesn't seem to be here.

If that is true,

they'll all die today.

He's not here, so why?

Because he is here.

He's not here.

Follow me.

I'm one to always return the favour.

Whenever you need help,

let me know.

But...

I'll soon be out of here.

Mr. Jung.

Mr. Jung!
