Hak-yeong.

Hey, if...

I become a murderer like this,

I'll tell your secret to the police.

-Do Hak-yeong. -You don't want that, do you?

So, do whatever it takes...

to prove my innocence.

You know him, don't you?

You pretended not to know him, right?

No. I really don't know him.

Let's go. You turn yourself in,

and I'll tell them I quit.

That's what we should do.

You piece of shit! You crazy bastard!

You think I would really tell them your secret?

How could you think...

Don't you know why I'm being like this?

Can't you just say you believe me

and that it's going to be okay?

You cold-hearted bastard...

How could you...

Darn it.

-Could you drive faster? -Okay.

I don't believe you yet.

So, tell me.

If I believe you after you tell me what happened,

other people will...

believe you too.

U-tak!

Hong-ju.

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm fine.

That's a relief.

See? I was right.

I told you he'd barge into your house.

Didn't I tell you to lock the door?

Why didn't you do what I told you to? You fool!

You're hurting me.

Are you crying?

Yes, it's because you hit me.

It hurt so much that I'm crying.

U-tak...

Hey. Do Hak-yeong's been handed over to Hangang Police Station right now.

Why did he suddenly turn himself in?

-They said someone persuaded him. -Who did?

Oh, that's... I'll look into it and let you know.

You're not asking me anything. I'm sure you have so many questions.

Of course I have many questions. I'm holding myself back from asking them.

Are you going to answer my questions if I ask? Is that it?

No.

So, what exactly happened in your dream?

Do Hak-yeong went into your house,

told you he didn't do it, and asked you to believe him.

That's it?

Yes. That's all I saw.

Why? Did something important happen after that?

No, what you saw was everything.

Okay.

About what happened today...

Thank you for worrying about me.

He hugged her?

Hey, do people give hugs when they're thankful?

Do you?

Maybe some people do, like Americans do. What's the problem?

Like Americans do?

Well... maybe I will hug Hui-min or Hyang-mi when I'm thankful...

No, that's ridiculous! I could never do that.

I won't hug anyone even if they save our country!

Why? Because we're in Korea!

Maybe people hug someone when they like that person.

Hey, they shouldn't!

Who are you to say they shouldn't?

Because I...

I...

Then again, who am I to say that? I should just mind my own business.

Damn it...

Why don't you have breakfast here?

I shouldn't. Your mom's already given me so much. I'm not that shameless.

Okay.

Thanks for driving me home. See you.

Hong-ju.

About what happened today...

U-tak!

Are you going to have breakfast here? I'm going to have breakfast here, too.

Well, he's...

When you first became aware of this murder case,

did you also think that Do Hak-yeong could be the culprit?

Yes, I'm going to have breakfast here.

Let's go in. I'm hungry.

Okay.

-Here they come! -Look!

-They're here! -Come on!

Where's the culprit?

Do you have anything to say to the bereaved? How do you feel now?

I didn't kill anyone!

Why did you kill Yu Su-gyeong?

I'm innocent!

Are you denying the charge? Then why did you turn yourself in?

My friend said

I should believe in justice and turn myself in.

He said that the law will prove my innocence!

I turned myself in because I trust him.

He's talking like he did nothing wrong.

All I did was go into the house and fix her internet connection.

I really did not

-kill Yu Su-gyeong. -All right. Let's focus on the breakfast.

I'm really glad that Officer Han's come to join our breakfast today.

-Thank you. -Come often.

Or every day.

Should I bring up the dream thing?

What's he worried about?

Why isn't he telling me?

Jae-chan.

I have something to tell you.

What? Did you hear it?

What? What did I hear?

No, it's nothing.

What is it?

The Do Hak-yeong on the news is my friend.

-Your friend? -What?

We went to the same high school

and we were roommates until recently.

Oh, my gosh.

Then the friend who persuaded Do Hak-yeong...

It was me. He came to my house late at night, and I persuaded him

to turn himself in.

Oh, dear.

The case will be assigned to you, Jae-chan.

I saw it in my dream.

-To me? -That's why I told him to turn himself in.

I thought you'd prove his innocence.

How do you know he's innocent? Did you see it in your dream too?

No. But I've known Hak-yeong for a long time.

-He would never-- -Kill anyone?

How can you be so sure?

I mean, if knowing someone for long could tell us that, it'd be nice.

We'd just ask a suspect's family

or friends without having to go through investigations or trials.

Do you think Hak-yeong's guilty?

No.

But I don't think he's not guilty either.

Until the investigation's done, we won't know...

whether he's guilty or not.

You saw U-tak hug me in your dream?

Why did he?

He hugged you and thanked you for worrying about him.

That doesn't sound right.

Besides, I'm not the kind of woman who hugs any guy back.

You were. You hugged him back hard.

You even stroked his back.

Do you usually stroke any guy's back?

-No. -Then U-tak wasn't just any guy?

What was so special about him? Tell me.

Just say he's not special to you.

I think Mr. King Crab is jealous.

I can hear you. And I'm not jealous. Don't get me wrong.

I'm sorry.

What was so special about U-tak?

"Mr. King Crab"?

Maybe it was his uniform.

Uniform?

I mean, I have a soft spot for guys in uniform,

like police officers, naval officers, or pilots.

Sometimes, when I saw U-tak in his uniform,

it made my heart flutter.

Just sometimes.

We prosecutors wear our robes too.

You felt nothing when you saw me in my robe?

Come on. The robe doesn't turn me on.

You looked like a guy in a church choir. You were lame.

A church choir?

Damn it. Why did I imagine that?

Gosh, seriously.

Come to think of it, it's unfair.

Why do I have to explain myself like this?

I mean, it didn't even happen.

It would've happened if I hadn't stopped it.

I'm not being jealous, okay?

I'm just curious.

What, curious?

U-tak is Do Hak-yeong's friend.

I'm just curious as to why you're defending him,

as a prosecutor.

I am not on U-tak's side,

and I am not defending him.

I'm 100 percent sure Do Hak-yeong is the culprit.

You are? On what grounds?

He is the only person in the CCTV footage,

and it's so suspicious that he ran away from the police.

And...

If I become a murder like this,

I'll tell your secret to the police.

U-tak said he believed Hak-yeong

because they're friends, not because he really believed that murderer.

Are you defending U-tak?

Seriously.

If I have to side with someone, I'm on your side.

I want Do Hak-yeong to get what he deserves,

and I don't want to see him get away slyly with what he did like Kang Dae-hui did.

And I believe you won't allow him to get away slyly.

You're not rooting for me now, are you?

No, this is me threatening you.

I think I'll be disappointed if you fail.

The person who killed my father is your younger brother?

I also didn't know my brother would do such a thing.

Hey, where are you going?

Let go of me! I have something to tell him.

-What is it? -You don't have to know. Let go of me!

Let me go with you.

I have something to tell him too.

A PSYCHOPATH WHO KILLED A NATIONAL HERO

These people are so diligent.

I wipe these off every day, but there's always a new one every day.

Ma'am, why don't you close the restaurant for the time being?

Just until the trial's over.

U-tak, is my Hak-yeong a psychopath?

What do you think?

I heard a psychopath has no emotions.

Why is my son a psychopath?

He cried really hard when he found out the Little Mermaid turned into sea foam.

How is he a psychopath?

I know. That's absurd.

I know he's not a very good person.

I know he stole your money when you were young

and got into trouble a lot of times.

But he would never kill someone. Right?

You're right.

Sons of bitches!

It's been quite a while since Do Hak-yeong turned himself in.

When is he going to get what he deserves?

That prosecutor called Jeong Jae-chan, what's he been doing all this time?

He's a rookie prosecutor in Criminal Department 3.

This case is quite big for him,

so he's taking his time and enjoying it.

You two are suffering every day.

How inconsiderate of him.

Lawyer Lee.

I've got pancreatic cancer.

I have just a few months left to live.

I really want to see Do Hak-yeong...

thrown in jail before I die.

If...

If they fail to prove his guilt,

I'll probably...

Don't worry, sir.

I'll make sure to indict him in ten days.

You didn't take off your watch or roll any paper today.

-I didn't? -Are you not charging the consulting fee?

I won't. I was a fan of Yu Su-gyeong. I'll consider it my condolence money.

You seem to be in a good mood.

Of course.

I've been defending bad guys lately.

It's been a while since I defended someone innocent.

It's like playing for the national team

when I've been playing only for one of the EPL teams.

Draw up the complaint, will you?

Yes, sir.

What is your girlfriend's ring size?

Well, I don't know the exact size.

I didn't know I could dream such a nice thing.

What's wrong with my heart?

What if I die because my heart explodes?

Isn't it too early for him to buy me a ring?

Okay, we're having Vietnamese food today.

-All right. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Wow, this noodle soup is really good.

You used to run a Vietnamese restaurant?

Yes, three years ago. But it went out of business.

Another Vietnamese restaurant was next to us,

and the chef there was from Vietnam.

Do you have a fever?

Why is your face so red?

Maybe because the soup is hot.

What time should I come to your office today?

-By two. -Why are you going there?

To be questioned as a testifier.

Don't side with him because he's your friend. You should answer honestly.

Of course.

By the way, can you prosecutors tell if someone's lying?

Yes, we can tell right away.

I can't believe this, but I heard his nickname is Human Lie Detector.

Wow. Really?

Officer Han, how do you like today's breakfast? Is it good?

Of course. It's really good.

Prosecutor Jeong, is he telling the truth?

Yes.

Officer Han, do you think you're handsome?

No, not at all.

-He's lying! -Come on. You're not being honest.

That's a lie.

Wow, you're good.

Do you have a woman you care about?

Yes, I have.

He's telling the truth.

Is it Hong-ju?

Mom!

It's okay. I'm just teasing him.

Is it Hong-ju?

No.

He's telling the truth.

You're accurate. I'll look forward to today's interview.

Sure. I'll expect you to answer honestly like you did now.

Sure.

You should make more effort. Put on some lipstick.

Yes, sir.

You're here.

Hey, Hong-ju. You should head out right now.

-Something came up for you. -What is it?

Yu Su-gyeong's family sued Do Hak-yeong for murder.

Did they sue while the case is under investigation? Is that even possible?

Maybe it's because the prosecution's making no progress.

Go listen to what their lawyer has to say and see if it's a good story.

Who's the lawyer?

Lawyer Lee Yu-beom from Haekwang Law. Do you want his number?

No. I already have it.

U-tak.

I did what you told me to do.

I told Prosecutor Jeong the truth

and took a lie detector test.

But why am I still here?

Because he is being meticulous.

If he's more meticulous, I'll end up dead in here.

They said a public defender is only available when I go to trial.

Is the prosecutor looking...

for the real culprit?

I'll ask him later.

I'm going to his office as a testifier.

Really?

I excelled in Criminal Act when I was in the police university.

I'll go and defend you as if I'm your lawyer.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you so much...

I... You are really...

You're really the only one I have now.

That's right, you fool.

U-tak, did you go see my mother?

How is she doing?

She's hanging in there.

So just worry about yourself.

That restaurant has the best cold soba noodles, right?

Sir, it's your turn to go have lunch.

Sure.

By the way, U-tak... No, where's Lieutenant Han?

He went to the Prosecutors' Office to testify

-for the Do Hak-yeong case. -Well...

U-tak is quite timid.

I'm worried he might be intimidated there like Gyeong-han was a while ago.

U-tak is...

a man of high caliber.

He's a police university graduate. He's smart and bold!

He will not be intimidated by the prosecutor!

Oh, and I didn't mean that I'm not smart.

It's just that U-tak's a bit smarter than me.

I didn't mean I'm a man of low caliber.

I just meant U-tak is a man of really, really high caliber.

Just go. I know what you mean.

And as for the boldness...

All right. Go have lunch.

You know, that Han U-tak guy has a great educational background.

He was one of the top graduates of the Korean National Police University.

He even received the Prime Minister Award when he graduated.

I talked with him on the phone earlier.

He's a brilliant talker.

I think we should be careful in the interview today.

Hold on. You shouldn't eat burnt food. It's not healthy.

Mr. Choi.

If I fail to indict him, what happens?

It's going to be a disaster.

You'll get on the wrong side of the whole nation as well as the chief.

Why? You're not confident you'll indict him?

No, that's not it.

Mr. Choi, I have something to ask you.

Hyang-mi, what are you doing?

I'm getting old.

The record of the Do Hak-yeong case is 7,000 pages.

But the chief wanted to review them too,

so I copied all of them. It's 14,000 pages in total.

As I've been making copies and punching holes through them,

I'm getting old.

-What's this? -I brought some pretty flowers for you.

-Spring flowers have been blooming lately. -Really?

I didn't notice them because of stupid Do Hak-yeong.

Spring hasn't come for me yet.

You still have some time.

But when?

When in the world am I going to finish this and enjoy the spring?

Yes?

Is Prosecutor Jeong Jae-chan here?

-Wow. -Oh, my.

May I ask who you are?

I'm Han U-tak and I'm here to be questioned as a testifier.

Oh, right. Mr. Han U-tak, please go that way.

That way.

Hey, do you have perfume now?

-Of course not. -What do I do?

Indeed,

spring has come.

Wow, that hurt.

You were the first journalist I contacted for old times' sake.

Thank you so much. It's such an honor.

You haven't changed a bit.

What would you like to drink?

A cold cup of Coke, please.

Yes, ma'am.

You filed a complaint on behalf of them. What exactly do you do for them?

You know Prosecutor Jeong Jae-chan well, right?

He's still an unskilled rookie. On top of that, he's quite slow and stubborn.

He's independent and meticulous.

While a prosecutor goes easy on the accused

and does nothing when he remains silent,

the evidence is contaminated and disappears.

Speaking ill of a prosecutor is your job as their lawyer?

If we let the culprit get away with it, how will the bereaved feel?

That's why I filed the criminal complaint on behalf of them.

Hey, Mr. Lee Yu-beom, what's your point?

Are you not getting what I mean?

Jae-chan doesn't stand a chance with the evidence he's gathered so far.

He can't indict Do Hak-yeong.

Even if he does, Do Hak-yeong will be found not guilty in the trial.

Then a firestorm of criticism will be directed at Jae-chan,

and stopping that is what I'm doing.

It means Jae-chan and I are on the same side this time.

So you can help me a little, right?

Ms. Sin, can you watch my interview? I can't afford to make any mistakes.

Of course. If you need my help, I'll gladly do it.

-Mr. Lee? -What?

Ms. Son.

Chief, I'll start the interview with the testifier. Could you watch it?

Of course. It's the most important case at the moment. I should.

Oh, my. Has the police uniform always been that fabulous?

I didn't know the police had such a babe.

Me too.

Why does the prosecution not have such a guy?

Prosecutor Jeong is quite good looking.

You used to like him, right?

Come on. I liked him for a little while. Really briefly.

If you saw Prosecutor Jeong every day, you'd be sick of him.

To be honest, what's he got if he's not a prosecutor?

My handsomeness?

How much did he hear?

From the beginning to the end. He heard everything.

What do I do?

Why is the door closed?

Hello.

You came early. Did you have lunch?

Yes, I did.

The other prosecutors are watching us on the other side, right?

Can he see us?

Seriously?

He's the guy who persuaded Do Hak-yeong to turn himself in, right?

Yes.

What if he also persuades our rookie as well?

No matter how hard I think about it, this is too big of a case for our rookie.

Don't use the word "rookie" when we're investigating.

Besides, I think he's more reliable than someone

who skipped an autopsy.

It'll be a disaster

if he gets away like Kang Dae-hui did because of wrong indictments.

Who cleaned up after his seniors?

Tell me. Who caught Kang Dae-hui again after he walked away?

-Mr. Jeong. -Prosecutor Jeong.

You still think he won't be able to handle this?

-No, sir. -No, sir.

This case reminds me of the Kang Dae-hui case in many ways.

Everyone thinks he is the culprit, but all we have is circumstantial evidence.

I trust Jeong nonetheless.

I'm sure he'll find crucial evidence in this interview.

-You can do this! -You can do this!

What's your relationship with Do Hak-yeong?

We went to the same high school

and we lived together a year and a half ago.

When you first became aware of this murder case,

did you also think that Do Hak-yeong could be the culprit?

-Yes. -Why?

I saw the CCTV footage on the news. It was Hak-yeong.

And no one else was in the footage, right?

Yes. There was no one else.

We checked all the CCTV footage of the elevator, stairs, main entrance

and we even checked dashcams from nearby cars around the time of the murder.

Do Hak-yeong was the only person.

Yes. So I heard.

So I thought Hak-yeong was the culprit too.

"You thought"? You don't think he's the culprit now? Why?

There's a possibility of an accidental death.

An accidental death?

If I were Do Hak-yeong's lawyer, that's what I would claim.

"She accidentally hit her head against her table and died of a brain bleed.

It's an unfortunate accident that happened because she slipped on her own."

That's absurd.

But that doesn't explain the painting with the blood.

But there's no evidence that he drew it.

Then who could?

There were only Do Hak-yeong and Yu Su-gyeong at that time.

If she drew it, blood traces would've been found on her hands or feet.

But they were clean, according to the autopsy.

Do Hak-yeong was clean too. No traces of blood were found on his hands,

feet, clothes and shoes.

And that's why he's claiming he's innocent.

Well, that's... Of course he...

He must've taken a shower and washed his clothes to get rid of them.

He had plenty of time before turning himself in.

That's speculation.

Speculation can't be evidence.

But how do you explain the painting with the blood?

What did Do Hak-yeong say about that?

He said he doesn't know about that.

He can't just say he doesn't know.

He has to prove he didn't draw it to prove his innocence.

No, the prosecution has to prove

he did it if you're going to indict him.

You don't even know what the painting was drawn with, do you?

Look.

He was the only person who went in and came out of that house around that time.

What more do we have to prove?

-Maybe he drew it with an unknown object. -What unknown object?

Are you kidding me now?

Why do you think it's called "unknown"?

But it should be stated in the indictment.

If it isn't, the charge will not be properly specified.

If this case goes to trial, it could be grounds for dismissal of the indictment.

What's his deal? Is he a lawyer or something?

It feels like they're arguing in a trial.

It seems like that officer is the one leading the interview.

They should ask why Do Hak-yeong ran away if he didn't kill her. Ask that!

Then why did he run away?

Did he hear what I said? I'm sorry.

If he didn't do it, he should've tried to vindicate himself.

Because they came after him even though he's innocent.

He was afraid that he might go to jail even though he's innocent.

On the 25th of last month, Mr. Do came to your house, and you persuaded him

to turn himself in, right?

No. I told him to run away.

If you really killed Yu Su-gyeong, you should run away.

I'll turn a blind eye.

-Hey, U-tak! -But...

if you're innocent, turn yourself in.

Trust the law.

And he turned himself in after that,

saying he'd trust the law.

Do you think Do Hak-yeong might not be the culprit?

What are you saying?

There's no suspect except for him.

We might've chosen a wrong answer as we couldn't find the right one.

Why do you believe Do Hak-yeong is innocent?

When he came to my house, the first thing he did

was ask me to prove his innocence.

So, do whatever it takes

to prove my innocence.

And when I saw him earlier today, he asked if you were looking for the real culprit.

Is the prosecutor looking...

for the real culprit?

So what?

Isn't that what they typically say when denying the charges?

If he was just denying it, he would've asked me

to "convince" you that he was innocent.

He would've asked me

to help him to set up an alibi.

You may be right.

"You may be right"?

How could he agree with him?

Prosecutor Jeong is being persuaded.

-Officer Han's running the show now. -But...

I think he has a point.

Culprits don't usually ask to find the real culprit.

They just claim they didn't do it.

Stop talking!

Do Hak-yeong has a motive for the murder.

Can you make sure you fix it this time?

When our representative calls you, please leave a good review.

I can only do that when it stops malfunctioning.

Yu Su-gyeong always said his service was not good to his company.

She even made him throw out her recyclable waste.

So he was angry and ended up killing her.

Then why...

did he throw out the recyclable waste after killing her?

If he really killed her because of that, he would've...

left it at her house.

Why do you think he threw out the recyclable waste?

Because he didn't kill her.

You have a point.

He has a point. Why did he throw it out for her?

Well, I mean--

Are you being persuaded by him as well?

No, I...

But he's totally making sense.

What did you say?

I'm sorry. My neck...

Why? You're not confident you'll indict him?

Do you think Do Hak-yeong really killed Yu Su-gyeong?

We've been investigating really hard for two weeks.

You remember the lie detector test? It couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

If Do Hak-yeong was the real culprit, it would've said he was lying.

-Right. -According to the footage,

Do Hak-yeong stayed there for 13 minutes in total.

In the 13 minutes, he killed her, drew the painting,

and got rid of all the traces?

Is that even possible?

I feel something's off here as well.

But there's no other suspect except for Do Hak-yeong.

That doesn't mean he's the real culprit.

But if we release him like this, the chief will be furious.

But in this case, I have independent authority.

Technically, I don't need the chief's permission.

Since I'm in charge of this case, I'll just release him--

Then you'll be fired.

You'll be fired right away.

I've seen a lot of prosecutors get fired for that.

Then what? Should I just push forward with it?

Prosecutor Jeong.

I think you should be more humble.

Do I look arrogant?

Why do you assume you can see through to the truth, and your seniors can't?

How about you ask your seniors

to watch today's interview and let them see what you saw?

I'm sure they'll see it too. They're your seniors for a reason.

Now I can see why he asked all of us to come watch it:

To let us see what he saw and to persuade us.

I'm sure they'll try to figure out the truth together

and understand your decision.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF THE ACCUSED

CHIEF PROSECUTOR PARK DAE-YEONG

Chief.

Leave me alone so that I can think alone!

I get what you guys are saying.

Oh, my Lord...

I'm hoping that this case won't end up like the Kang Dae-hui case.

You were the one who defended Kang Dae-hui.

I told you, I'm on Jeong Jae-chan's side this time.

You don't have to be on his side. He'll do just fine on his own.

He can never pull it off by himself.

I'm not saying he's incompetent.

This case is hard.

You see, he has this much evidence.

But he needs this much to indict him,

and a mere prosecutor can never fill this gap.

He needs your help.

You didn't know that Do Hak-yeong's father was a drug offender, did you?

As expected of a son of an ex-convict,

Do Hak-yeong got into a lot of trouble throughout his school years.

Assault, theft, and many other things.

He's human trash.

You make it public,

and Jae-chan won't need to do anything...

to fill this gap.

What are you talking about?

The Do Hak-yeong case is like hot rice for you journalists,

isn't it?

You need proper side dishes before the rice gets cold,

and this information makes a great side dish.

With a few pieces of Do Hak-yeong's personal information,

other media outlets will cover this in no time.

Then it'll be like we have hundreds of excellent investigators.

They say Do Hak-yeong has a history of violence.

Is he really a psychopath who only kills women?

Look at this. Do Hak-yeong went to the same school as us.

Really? Then he's in the yearbook?

I think so.

Here's the murderer Do Hak-yeong's picture from his yearbook.

I go to the school that he graduated from,

and I got the yearbook from the year he graduated and found his picture.

Here's the face of the murderer.

I heard his father is a junkie.

I used to live next door to Do Hak-yeong.

As soon as it's on the news,

tens of thousands of citizens will dig into it online,

and they'll dig up everything about Do Hak-yeong.

People will condemn him

and be on the prosecution's side, asking to indict him.

You want us to manipulate the public sentiment?

"Manipulate"? That sounds so cheap.

I'm saying you shouldn't ignore the public sentiment.

It's obvious that he's the culprit.

We shouldn't let him get away with it.

Or do you think we should?

If Jae-chan only relies on the law,

he'll never be able to indict him.

Only if you help him...

can he fill the gap...

and indict him.

Where did he go?

Why is he not here?

No.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

Get out of there!

Hey! Get out of there!

Hey...

Hey, I'll go in there and grab him.

You pull this rope up, okay?

Why do I need to do that?

Because I don't think you can swim well enough to rescue him.

And I can.

That's not what I meant.

Why do I have to save him?

Of course you should. Do we just let him die, then?

Let him die. He's the brother of that bastard who killed my dad.

Why would I save someone I resent?

Just let him go to hell and meet his brother!

And let him ask why he killed my dad!

Are you crazy? You want to let him die just because you resent him?

You call that a reason?

Yes!

I resent him. So just let him die!

Pull yourself together!

That guy feels the same way we do.

He can't believe his brother did it

and wants to go back in time and stop him if he can.

I'm sure he wished it were just a bad dream.

You have to do it. You save both me and him.

Do it if you don't want to regret it later.

I trust you.

SEOUL HANGANG DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Taxi!

Jae-chan.

Hey, I was about to come pick you up.

I came to pick you up this time. I wanted to grab a cup of coffee with you.

Get in.

Did U-tak's interview go well?

-Yes, kind of. -Then did you indict Do Hak-yeong?

Wait. I'm not asking this as a journalist. This is off the record.

I haven't indicted him yet.

Then what? You'll have to release him soon.

Are you going to release him?

-Maybe. -You don't have enough evidence?

U-tak persuaded you, didn't he?

I'll explain why.

At first, I thought Do Hak-yeong was the culprit too.

And I started to put the puzzle together,

but I kept finding wrong pieces as I dug into it.

-Wrong pieces? -Yes.

We autopsied her body, and it was too clean.

There was no sign of resistance.

Also, when we raided Do Hak-yeong's house and searched the place,

there was no trace of blood.

But when I started to think he might not be the culprit,

the puzzle started to come together.

I heard Yu Su-gyeong often collapsed because of otolithiasis.

And that's why she retired early.

Then you're saying after Do Hak-yeong left,

she collapsed because of otolithiasis and died?

Yes. Then the autopsy results make sense.

The results say she died of a brain bleed and there was no other wound on her body.

It makes sense how Do Hak-yeong threw out her recycling

and how he had no blood traces on his clothes.

Then what about the painting with her blood?

How do you explain that?

That's the toughest part.

We analyzed the painting,

and it was a continuous line.

It was drawn continuously, as a single, unbroken line?

Do you think it's possible that Do Hak-yeong drew it in 13 minutes

without leaving any blood trace

on his feet?

Then who in the world drew it?

I don't know.

But I'm sure it wasn't Do Hak-yeong.

It's something we couldn't find.

A terrible coincidence made him wrongfully accused because of that.

-Hey, let's go. -Okay.

So? Are you going to release him,

even though he's the prime suspect?

Yes.

I'm so incompetent, aren't I?

I let U-tak get to me,

and now I have to let the prime suspect go.

I'm sorry, but I can't disagree with you.

I like you.

What?

I like you so much that the last thing I want

is to disappoint you.

Why are you suddenly confessing your feelings?

So I really wanted to indict Do Hak-yeong,

but I can't indict him when I don't believe he did it.

A person's life is at stake.

I like you a lot,

but when that thought crossed my mind, my feelings felt...

very small.

I'm sorry if I've disappointed you.

What is this?

I just thought you're going to need it.

You look like someone I know.

-Who? -A guy who hit me when I was little.

He hit a woman? Who's this bastard?

I don't know his name or where he lives.

But he's not a bad guy.

He's a crazy guy. He hit a woman, you know.

Don't even talk to guys like him.

Gosh, seriously. How could you say I look like someone like him?

Okay. I'm sorry. You don't look like him at all.

HAEKWANG LAW

PERSONAL DETAILS RECORD DO HAK-YEONG

THEFT ASSAULT

CHARGED WITH THEFT AND ASSAULT WITHOUT DETENTION

Hey, Hong-ju. Did you meet with Lawyer Lee Yu-beom?

-Yes, I did. -What did he say?

He gave me some information on Do Hak-yeong.

What is it? Did you go over it?

Yes. These are Do Hak-yeong's juvenile records.

I knew it. I knew that bastard was something.

How are they? Are they any good?

Are you crazy? You want to let him die just because you resent him?

You have to do it. You save both me and him.

If you don't want to regret it later.

Wake up!

Hey! Wake up!

No. Wake up!

Please wake up!

Hey! Wake up!

Wake up!

Come on...

Wake up!

Wake up!

Thank you...

for saving me.

Hey,

they're no good.

Why? You said they are Do Hak-yeong's juvenile records.

Yes. But they have nothing to do with this case.

News articles about them will only get in the way of the investigation.

Are you sure?

Yes. Do you want to go over them?

No. If you say they're no good, then they're no good.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF THE ACCUSED

Okay. Let's do this.

Here!

Thank you, sir.

Damn it. My boss is going to kill me.

Lawyer Lee, Do Hak-yeong's been released.

Jeong Jae-chan, that crazy piece of shit!

Write up a press release and contact the press for interviews.

Yes, sir.

I've been going too easy on them.

Hi, Reporter Hwang.

This is Lee Yu-beom from Haekwang.

-Are you all right? -Are you okay?

-He's bleeding! -Call 911!

Jae-chan! Please call an ambulance.

Somebody please help!

Please call an ambulance!

The sweetest dream I've ever had...

has just turned into the most terrifying nightmare.
