Original subtitles

Park Eung Mo, the CEO of a trading company, had admitted to...

the charge of murdering four women.

However, people are shocked to find out that he'll be released...

because the statute of limitations has expired.

The family of the deceased have started a protest...

against the prosecution for suspending the investigation.

And many people are criticizing the prosecution for their incompetence.

(Episode 5)

My gosh.

- Sir. - Gosh, you surprised me.

Who ordered for this to happen?

Have you gone mad?

What are you even talking about? Get out of my way.

They're holding the puppet CEO responsible.

And they stopped Park Eung Mo from getting arrested.

Isn't it rational to think that someone planned all this?

So Ra, let's just end it here.

Stop doing things you'll end up regretting!

You got sent to the countryside for punishment,

and I'm the one who helped you get to where you are right now.

Get out of my way!

Listen to me. You know what happens to a prosecutor who fails to...

fulfill his or her duty, right?

My gosh, I'm about to burst.

- Let me say something... - My gosh.

as a prosecutor who doesn't know how to fulfill my duty.

Do you know what bothers me the most?

It's the fact that we're all an accomplice.

No victim has forgiven him for what he's done.

But we just forgave him without their permission.

This is a disgrace to the prosecution.

I didn't become a prosecutor to embarrass myself like this.

My gosh, you're crazy.

Hey, come out right now!

Please give me an answer.

Give you an answer about what?

They say you can't trust human beings.

I guess they say that because of people like you.

Why are you just standing there? Take her out of here!

Give me an answer, sir! Who ordered for this to happen?

Let go of me! I said, let go!

Sir, give me an answer!

- Let me go! - She's unbelievable.

My gosh, she's scary.

Prosecutor Kwon.

(Prosecution Office)

(Aeguk Newspaper: 30-14, Toegye-ro 38gil, Jung-gu, Seoul)

(Aeguk Newspaper)

Is this Aeguk Newspaper?

Yes. How may I help you?

I'm the prosecutor in charge of investigating Park Eung Mo's case.

My name is Kwon So Ra.

I know you were there on the day that the bodies got found.

The video footage that Daehan Newspaper concealed...

wasn't a fabricated video, was it?

I need the original video file.

I'm planning to indict Park Eung Mo again.

Let's say you indict him again.

What's going to change?

You guys are the ones who cleared him as innocent.

Nothing's going to change at all.

It's not like there's any other way through this.

Using the media won't help anymore.

We're going to arrest him again.

That's the best we can do.

Do you really think so?

I've once trusted people and the law.

But I learned that none of that can be trusted.

You're the one who taught me that.

What do you mean?

The article got blocked, and the law has no order.

The rules of this game are all ruined now.

So from now on,

I'm going to do things my way...

because you're obviously going to fail.

Who are you?

Hello?

Why do you want to go that far?

He was smiling.

- What? - I'm talking about Park Eung Mo.

The family of the deceased were crying, but he was smiling.

I understand that you're frustrated and angry.

But haven't you learned something...

after all that's happened?

Seeking justice isn't something that suits us media jackals.

Please wake up and come to your senses.

I used to have a journalist I liked,

and he said something like this.

"Helping the weak..."

"has nothing to do with justice to a journalist."

"It's just common sense."

I'm just talking common sense right now.

Let's try to solve this fabricated case.

Media jackals have their own way of doing things.

My gosh, you know how to pick up good lines.

So what do you say?

Are we going to do this?

Fine. Our situation can't get any worse anyway.

Let's give it a go.

Nice.

You think this is funny, don't you?

I had no idea that you'd get released so easily.

I'm sure you're enjoying this right now.

But I'm going to catch you again.

May I ask how old you are?

Mid to late 30's?

That's when women are most beautiful.

Those women could have lived until your age,

if they trusted me.

Keep talking.

Go ahead and keep talking, you scumbag!

Don't think that this is unfair.

Let's be honest. Even if I do pay for my crimes,

that won't bring back those dead women, will it?

What?

Say that again. Say that again, scumbag!

Say that to my face again!

(Incheon Detention Center)

You should be ashamed!

- Let me get to him! - You murderer!

Who are you? Where's Hee Jun?

I heard something urgent came up, so I came here in place of him, Boss.

Please get some sleep, Boss.

What is it?

There's something wrong with the car.

I will go out and check on it.

Please rest in the car.

I'm sorry, sir.

Darn. What is this nonsense?

What's happening?

What's wrong with you guys?

Who is that jerk that drove me here?

Boss, he wasn't one of us.

But sir, are you on the overpass near the Independence Gate?

Is that really you on the overpass?

What are you talking about?

How did you know that I'm here?

(Nam Sung Hyun, M News)

("Murder Suspect Mr. Park Was Released")

Darn it.

(Traffic Guide)

Sang Ho, you are getting the photos simultaneously, right?

- Upload those photos right away. - Yes, sir.

(Woosung Electric Services)

There's a big crowd here today.

Darn it.

Shoot!

(Park Eung Mo's Photographs)

What's going on now?

Who are you?

He's on the move.

- Na Rae, stay close to him. - I'm on the move.

(Articles of Evidence)

(Hae Young)

(Prosecutor Kwon So Ra)

What's this? Prosecutor Kwon. Prosecutor!

It seems something happened today, and it's quite serious.

Hey, you still don't know which agency is distributing these photos?

I don't know. The articles are being uploaded too quickly.

Media jackals are blocking out all the other articles.

Hey, I found the source.

It's Aeguk Newspaper.

- What? - Aeguk Newspaper?

Hey, Sung Shik.

You're a journalist for goodness' sake. Answer your phone.

I have to go to the field, Suk Min. We'll talk later.

Hey, let me ask you a question.

- Okay. - Who was your contact...

in Aeguk Newspaper?

Pardon?

Who was the journalist you were in contact with?

Was it...

It wasn't Han Mu Young, was it?

How did you figure that out?

That crazy moron. Did you cross the line in the end, you jerk?

(Director Gu Tae Won)

(Park Eung Mo)

Goodness.

- There he goes. - Darn you.

That's Park Eung Mo!

That murderer was actually released?

- Look at that murderer! - Look.

Where are you?

(Seoul Post, "Murder Suspect Released")

Hey, what is this mess?

Did you locate him?

What are you doing? Get the car and go there!

If anyone harasses him,

there will be a big price to pay. Got that?

Yes, yes. Hello?

Prosecutor, I think we have to hurry.

Prosecutor!

Mom, that's him, isn't it?

He's that scumbag, Park Eung Mo, right?

He is. He's the one who took Hae Young.

Even though the world and the law turned their back on us,

I won't forgive you.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Please spare me.

What you just said...

Don't you think my late sister said the same thing? No?

- Oh, my! - Goodness!

- Stop him! - Oh, my gosh!

- We need to stop him now! - He's going to kill him!

- What are you looking at? - It's him.

- That's Park Eung Mo. - What are you looking at?

- What a terrible man! - He deserves to go to prison!

- How could you kill those women! - You're terrible!

- That's him on that screen! - He's the murderer Park Eung Mo!

(Park Eung Mo Was Released Due to Statute of Limitation.)

- Call the police on him! - He just hit that poor man!

- Where's he going? - Follow him!

- Don't let him get away! - Get him!

(Hana Outsourcing)

That's him!

(Woojung Mansion)

You! I called you ages ago. Why aren't you here already?

Are you tired?

It looks like you're exhausted.

So why did you do it?

You thought you could be free if those handcuffs weren't on you?

You, jerk. Did you plan this whole thing?

I saw everything.

Four women were buried in the walls. They were all innocent.

The murderer is in front of me, and there was sufficient evidence.

But you waltzed out of there.

What a shame.

Nothing will change even if you try just like now.

I confessed my crimes and was forgiven too.

I'm free because the law allows me to be.

I know that nothing will change.

You had the right to be forgiven, didn't you?

Then don't you think you should give...

the others the right to despise you at least?

Park Eung Mo.

You'll lead a life in which buying a pack of gum is a challenge for you.

I'm going to give the people the opportunity to never forgive you.

That's my job.

- There he is. - Why did you kill her?

Say a word!

- Try to run again, you jerk! - Hey.

Even if you hide, I'm going to find you until the end!

Help me.

Save me.

I'll tell you everything you want to know.

What are you going to tell me?

I know everything about...

the man you're looking for.

Those men are...

No!

- He fell! - Call 911!

- Oh no! - What do we do?

- He fell? - He fell!

- My gosh. - Goodness.

- What do we do? - Gosh.

- Look! - Gosh.

- He's dead. - Goodness.

Catch everyone on the rooftop. Arrest them all.

Is he dead?

I think he's dead.

My goodness.

Hello?

What is this? Who are you?

Han Mu Young?

Aeguk Newspaper...

was you?

It's been taken care of.

This is all...

your doing?

Hey, get in the car!

If we stay any longer, we'll be in trouble.

Stop there. Stop!

Stop there!

(Park Eung Mo)

(911 Rescue Team)

(Park Eung Mo)

Han Mu Young, what are you doing?

Why were you here?

It's been a while.

How have you been?

This isn't the time for you to be asking me that.

Why did you just reveal your face?

You don't know media ethics?

This is the rule of the game you were talking about?

The law says a violent crimes suspect is subject to disclosure.

Make the right call.

All I did was write an article according to legal procedures.

No, it's a different story when someone dies.

You crossed the line a long time ago.

Hey, that's...

That means there's a limit to being irresponsible.

You can't write an article just because you want to crush someone.

You must have seen and felt how strange this case is.

There are only two things you can do in these situations.

You can stay still and let it get you or do something about it.

You seemed to be doing a good job at staying still.

So I had to do something.

- Look. - Okay.

What is it that you keep wanting me to look at?

How did you get so lousy?

I thought you'd at least questioned what you did.

Isn't this too obvious?

Shouldn't you be the one to question your choices?

You think you have the right to coach someone?

- What? - We're not a very good pair,

so let's never see each other again.

Yeah right. I'm not giving up on you.

So make sure to remember this.

You should feel guilty about what happened today.

It all happened because of you.

Don't think a reporter's job is to instigate people.

In my eyes,

you're just a clown who obscures the point of this case.

Got it?

Anyway, let's all stay low for a while.

Things blew out of proportions.

You don't know which cloud will start raining next.

Don't blame yourself too much though.

What happened earlier...

Things shouldn't have happened like this.

It was an accident! We saw it with our own eyes.

No, no. It was because of me.

A person died because of something I did.

Take care of those around Park Eung Mo,

so that nothing leaks out.

Public opinion can be so funny.

This hand seems to control everything,

but they're so easily manipulated by trashy tabloids.

- What about Daehan? - I've called someone,

so he'll take care of it.

Stop talking about that.

Is it because...

of that friend who died?

No, there's no need for me to hear it.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you.

Proceed as you see fit.

(Daehan Newspaper)

Han Mu Young that crazy man. Just kill me instead.

Who in the world makes a turnaround like this?

What are you doing?

Should I just text you the interview with the witness?

Okay, I'm on it.

But you told me to take photos with my phone. Why are you here?

I knew it. You definitely don't dislike me.

I came here to take photographs for personal reasons today.

The topic is the final moments of a lying reporter.

What do you think about that?

What? What reporter?

That video of Park Eung Mo...

It wasn't falsified, was it?

Those Aeguk Newspaper people...

I feel like they have some sort of grudge.

Goodness, who do you think I am?

- So, - Yes.

don't try to play in someone else's chess game.

Just be a reporter, Sung Shik.

You think anyone will believe a reporter that gives false reports?

I'm telling you this because I don't dislike you as you said.

So take it or leave it.

(Press room)

- Please look over this. - Yes, hello.

- Next to it? - They're just copying it.

Hey, so did Aeguk Newspaper really cause this whole thing?

Yes, but didn't Daehan Newspaper sue them...

for falsifying a video?

But can we proceed without verifying the information?

Just make them a star if you don't want to fall behind.

Let's think about verifying later.

- Yes. - Write it again.

Hey, intern. Was that Park Eung Mo video...

really fake? Did you hear anything about it?

Goodness.

I can tell from her face that Sung Shik got to her again.

(Daehan Newspaper)

I made a huge mistake.

What do I do?

(Na Sung Shik)

Do I report it or not?

What am I supposed to do?

So...

you want to quit now or what?

I don't know.

Someone died because of something I did.

And I lost the last piece of evidence...

I could have found within the law right in front of my eyes.

Who says that's the last piece of evidence?

Five years have passed already.

But we couldn't find anything!

Hey, do you know what's characteristic of our job?

You never know what's coming.

Sometimes, a major scoop turns out to be worthless.

And something you started...

with good intentions can drive someone into a corner.

But according to my experience,

people split into three types here.

The first type just runs away from the mess.

The second gives up the will to even problematize it.

And the third type quietly endures it all,

and ultimately creates his own playing field.

Which type do you want to be?

Yes, Park Eung Mo could have been the last piece of evidence.

But endure it.

You need to have your hand out...

to even get the chance to hold onto the silver lining.

Hey, Mu Young. It's me, Chul Ho.

I'm out covering a story, but it's taking longer than expected.

Mu Young.

Make sure you keep exercising while I'm gone.

And don't worry too much about what's going on.

I'm sure things will get better soon. Okay?

I trust that...

the world...

will give me a chance to fix what's wrong.

I'll be able to put things back to where they were.

I haven't forgotten anything yet.

I'll be able to put things back to normal.

I'm so tired.

I must've used all my energy in saying something meaningful.

You must've lost all your senses...

after you lost your job and rank at your previous job.

Why are you flapping about like an obese pigeon?

My gosh, you punk.

I almost peed because of you.

You changed the address and phone number of your office.

What scheme are you up to now?

Hey, are you joking me?

Did you come all the way here to tell me that?

You're the one who joked around with someone's life.

I taught and cared for Mu Young for the past five years.

You have no right to tell him to stop.

When I found out that Mu Young went to see you,

I asked you for just one thing.

I asked you to prevent him from wasting his time...

by being delusional.

It's his life. He'll make his own decisions.

He doesn't even have an aptitude for being a journalist.

I really can't bear to see him follow the footsteps of his brother.

So please just stop him already.

I'm asking you...

why you're trying to make that decision for him.

He's only doing this...

to let his anger out.

He's blaming the world for being unfair, and he's practically just...

using his articles to terror the world.

Hey! You don't know anything about him to say such a thing.

Do you know how many tears he shed...

and how much effort he put in until now?

You're just a fossil who got abandoned by Gu Tae Won.

Stop acting like a know-it-all.

Mu Young...

is still chasing the culprit who killed his brother.

Regardless of his motives,

he's slowly becoming a competent journalist.

Hey, can you even call yourself human?

You're making him go after a culprit that doesn't even exist.

You're just using him for your own good.

No.

I believe him.

The culprit is out there somewhere.

I think...

someone fabricated Chul Ho's case.

Chul Ho died because of an accident.

The culprit even committed suicide because he felt guilty.

I checked...

all the evidence and his testimony.

Okay.

I'll stop talking nonsense.

You can just talk to him yourself.

Why? Until when are you going to run away from him?

Even if you feel sorry towards him,

you still should see him at least once, you frustrating punk.
