Original subtitles

Captain, let's walk down the difficult path again.

I can get a retrial with this.

- What? - Come now. Who am I?

I'm Park Tae Yong! Park Tae Yong!

(Episode 9)

I'm Park Tae Yong! Park Tae Yong!

Why are you copying Captain Han?

Isn't it amazing how I could find a second chance to flip the case...

from a document that Du Shik was just throwing away?

I'm incredible, aren't I?

(Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service)

So, what are you going to do with this?

I'll tell you about the plan when everyone is there.

Anyway, I've been acting as if I'm a good guy all along,

but I overlooked people who were hurt by stereotypes.

I really got a good look at myself through this.

Why are you acting like this so suddenly?

Thanks to you,

I was reminded of the people who helped me out during hard times.

You must be busy earning money through your articles,

but you let me, your partner, be diligent too.

- You're a real lucky charm. - What's wrong with you?

I have an amazing eye for people.

I just got chills.

I hate these things.

Kim Du Shik must have suffered so much discrimination.

I'll take care of him from this moment forth.

Do you mean it? You can't go back on your word.

Trust me.

I sent an SOS to Ms. Hwang too.

She'll come to Osung today.

Even Ms. Hwang.

Knowing her, she'll hurt my shoulder...

and put me in a chokehold.

You have to persuade Kim Du Shik,

I'll get Captain Han on board.

Let's finish setting it up today and start anew!

A fresh start!

- Sounds good! - Let's go!

- Yes! - Yes!

Why do you keep coming? I said let's stop seeing each other.

What is this?

When the trucker died,

Workers' Comp compensated his surviving family.

They told Kim Du Shik...

that they had to pay them because he killed a person,

and to reimburse them.

That is the demand they sent him.

The principle is 30,000 dollars.

The interest alone is 100,000 dollars.

100,000 dollars?

What garbage is that?

He was framed and rotted in prison for 10 years,

and now they want him to pay 130,000 dollars.

My gosh. I'm speechless.

So? How will you use this to get a retrial?

I'll represent him...

- and continue with this lawsuit. - And?

After arguing the truth of the case during this civil trial,

I'll submit your case notes regarding the real killer.

There's a better chance of getting a retrial then.

My gosh. Nothing comes easy for you.

All right.

But would the court permit you to enter the case notes?

Naturally, it'll be hard.

Why are you trying to do something so hard?

I have to because it's hard.

If it were easy, anyone can do it.

Prosecutors, the court, everyone's in cahoots together.

Why are you jumping into this? How will you handle it?

The prosecutor hinted at us to drop the case.

Why must you do something so hard...

Listen. We must do what we must do...

even if it is hard.

My gosh.

It's not like anyone gives you credit...

for doing something that is hard.

Did you devote your life to this case to get credit?

Nicely put.

Are you going out on a job?

Yes. Brothers' Demolition asked us to come back,

so I think we're going to.

We're all behind on rent at home and here too.

Du Shik. This isn't the time for that.

What will people say if you beat up and threaten people again?

What's it to them?

People never helped me anyway.

Even still, you can't do this again.

I tried to go clean,

but you saw what happened. No one will hire me.

I want to live an honest life too.

But I was framed for murder,

and now they want 130,000 dollars from me!

Should I just sit still and starve?

Forget it.

Mr. Park Tae Yong...

will represent you on the case for 130,000 dollars for free.

Think about your son being bullied for being a murderer's son...

and your wife who is being shunned by everyone in town!

Darn it!

Do you know what it's like...

to be the family of a murderer?

I don't know how it feels to have been framed,

but I know how it feels to be the family of a murderer.

When I was eight, about Young Jun's age now,

my mom killed someone in front of me.

Should I tell you the life I've led?

Should I tell you the harsh life Young Jun will live?

Should I?

People never helped you?

You care only about your wounds, so you don't see other's pains.

Detective Han Sang Man!

He tried to clear the name of a 17-year-old he never met...

and got kicked out.

He almost died from a stroke because of that.

Did you know that?

Do you think Mr. Park Tae Yong is working for free because he's rich?

He has 97,000 dollars in debt!

You should grab on when someone reaches out to you!

Why are you throwing away this great opportunity?

I understand how you feel,

but if I get involved, it'll be bad for my junior officers.

Why are you worrying about that?

Clearing Du Shik's name is the top priority.

If I see Du Shik, I may want to investigate.

In case I go crazy wanting to catch the real killers.

Fine, I understand.

I'll handle this case by myself.

But in exchange, please go with me...

- to the crime scene. - Again?

I want to ask you a few things.

I'll never come or bug you again.

I need to know everything so that I can argue this case.

This will be the last one.

Yes, sir.

- Hello, Mr. Park. - I'm taking Captain Han...

to the crime scene now.

Bring Du Shik. You have to, okay?

Okay.

Come on. Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Du Shik, go somewhere with me.

Meet the man who gave his entire life...

for you.

So, that friend's brick house...

Hold on.

Did you say it was that house?

Was it this one? Which one was it?

What kind of a lawyer has such a bad memory?

It's not that. It's this one with the billboard.

The second floor.

It is?

So, he came this way on his scooter...

and made a loop like this, right?

What?

He came from that way after delivering chicken...

and came...

Look. Mr. Park is here.

- Hello. - He came this way from there.

Who's the man he came with? His bodyguard?

Hello.

Hello, Captain.

You must have worked out a lot. Look at that muscle.

Are you his bodyguard?

I'm...

Kim Du Shik.

Pardon?

Du Shik?

Yes.

I'm Kim Du Shik.

I'm sorry for not coming to see you sooner.

I'm sorry.

You people can't do this to me.

- Captain. - You people...

Detective.

Detective Han Sang Man!

You seem to be confused. I'm not a detective.

I've retired, so don't call me that.

Please!

Please help me just this once!

I'm sorry! I'm...

I'm so very sorry...

for disappointing you...

and making you suffer!

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

What did you do wrong, that you're sorry?

I want to live with my head held high.

Please help me... Please help my son.

Please help us!

I'm sorry, Du Shik.

I really wanted to catch the real killer and get you out.

But...

But I was too powerless.

Get up.

Get up.

And...

let me apologize on behalf of the detectives...

who harassed you.

I'm sorry, Du Shuk.

No, no, sir.

Let's go.

Where are you going?

You said you wanted to catch the real killer.

You said you wanted to catch the bad guys and make them suffer!

Captain Han, you can't change your mind later.

Are you serious?

I'm...

- Han Sang Man! - Yes, you are!

- Hi, guys! - Gosh, you startled me.

It's so nice to see you guys at the scene.

Right.

Ancheon-dong Three-way Intersection.

Is this where the innocent man became a killer?

Yes.

I do smell something fishy.

May I ask who you are?

Oh, are you Captain Han?

Gosh, you look just as cool...

in real life.

I'm Lawyer Hwang Min Kyung. I'll be working with you from today.

The whole place is suddenly brightening up.

And I feel so reassured.

You two are not a prosecutor and police officer anymore,

but I'd like you to show us...

what true cooperation looks like.

Du Shik, don't worry.

A framing victim.

A detective who got fired after catching the real killer.

A prosecutor who was disciplined while investigating the real killer.

A brilliant reporter who got kicked out of the four gates of Seoul.

And me, Park Tae Yong, a fighter and high school grad.

There has been no team like this before.

Your description of me is so lousy.

- It's true though. - Yes, ma'am.

- Tell us your plan. - Okay.

We don't have much time, actually.

Du Shik has not been attending his reimbursement trials so far,

and things have been going against him.

Ms. Hwang and I will do our best to win the trial...

and retrieve the files about the real killer.

What should Mr. Park and I do?

Since Du Shik has been denied a retrial once before,

we can't apply for a retrial again on the same case.

That's why we must find a new piece of evidence.

So we must find either the real killer, Lee Jae Sung,

or the knife with a bent tip?

You sure are a veteran.

Mr. Park, prepare for a full-scale media war.

We have to persuade the court hearing the reimbursement case...

to hand over the case files to us.

I guess I should hurry up and write up an article.

It has to be published before the next trial.

I heard that we're taking photos today.

That's why I dressed up. What about you guys?

- What photos? - Photos?

"We're helping the man who was framed for murder at 17."

"We know who the real killer is."

Let's put up an article and start raising funds.

Including Du Shik, let's all show our faces.

Me too?

Everyone knows who you are. Hiding isn't going to solve anything.

Reveal yourself and turn the situation around.

You two, go home and get changed into black suits.

We'll take photos at Du Shik's workplace...

and get started right here!

Awesome!

I love the composition right now!

Mr. Park, you're a genius.

There you go. The composition looks great.

Everyone, clench your fists.

There you go.

Mr. Park, are you not coming?

Why would I? I'm a reporter.

I want you guys to stand out.

We're a team. Let's take one together.

- Come here. - Yes. Hurry and come here.

- We're a team. Wouldn't it be nice? - Come on.

Set the timer and join us.

- Should I? - Hurry.

- All right. - Come on.

- Yes, come here. - But...

- Here we go. - When is it taking a photo?

- It's taking it now. Here we go. - Right now?

Let's do this!

Everyone teamed up for you, Du Shik. Please say something.

- No, I don't... - Come on.

We only just met, and I haven't done anything for you.

Thank you so much for offering me help.

A detective's job is to catch culprits.

A lawyer's job is to defend powerless people.

A reporter's job is to report truths. It's no big deal.

We're only doing our jobs. There's no need to thank us.

Ms. Hwang, that's obvious but really well said.

Thanks to you all,

I'm back at work after a long time.

Thank you. I'll work hard.

There's a 99-percent chance that we lose.

But we'll take the risk and win against all odds in the end.

Let's fight hard and win big!

- Let's do this! - We can do this!

- Du Shik. - Yes?

Back in 2002 when the murder happened,

did you really see someone at the scene?

Right.

I did see a man,

but not his face.

Then why did you draw the innocent chicken restaurant owner's face?

Well...

The detectives were pressuring me to remember the man's face.

So I just drew the face of someone close to me.

Kim Du Shik is gone.

He's in Cheonan now.

What? He ran off?

Quitting the chicken restaurant?

Something's fishy, isn't it?

How come you haven't found any clues yet?

Since the Victory Nightclub incident,

there are many eyes on our station.

Solve the case by all means! Understood?

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

- Give me Kim Du Shik's number. - Okay.

- Here you go. - All right.

Du Shik, it's me. Where are you?

What?

You went all the way to Seoul?

By any chance, are you hiding something from us?

Why don't we sit down and talk? Yes.

- You brat. - That hurts!

Did you eat?

When was the last time you took a shower?

- Keep walking. - You stink.

You look nice and clean now. And you don't smell bad anymore.

- Look him up. - Sorry?

You said you saw the culprit.

He must be one of the Osung residents.

Look him up, you punk.

Hurry up! What are you waiting for?

You know who he is. Look him up now.

Gosh, you're annoying.

You still haven't found him?

I'll narrow down the candidates by half for you.

It's easier now, right?

Hurry up and find him so you can leave.

Hey, kid.

Why did you run off?

I was scared.

Why were you scared? Why?

Raise your head, you punk!

You killed the trucker, didn't you?

I didn't.

Give me the ruler, will you?

- You killed him, didn't you? - I didn't.

No?

- You killed him, right? - I didn't.

Darn it.

Oh, I saw a mop outside the door. Go get it.

- What do you need it for? - Gosh.

Why are you so slow?

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Good, that's my boy.

Good that you admitted what you did. We don't have to do this anymore.

Good job.

No, I didn't do it.

Get on the floor.

Gosh, you're gross. No one's torturing you or anything.

Why would you pee on yourself?

What is wrong with you?

Should we let him wash himself?

There's no need.

Hey, get on the floor.

Can't you hear me?

- Get on the floor. - I said, get on the floor. Idiot.

In a democratic country in the 21st country,

cops tortured a minor at a motel?

It's unbelievable.

Du Shik.

Did they beat you up badly?

It's all in the past now.

It's all my fault.

How is that your fault? Don't ever say that again.

My goodness. How horrible.

I'm sorry, but I have to get going.

Well...

- Du Shik. - Yes?

- Again, I'm so sorry. - Please don't say that.

Excuse me now.

Well...

Chief An. This is Han Sang Man.

Yes. I appreciate you remembering me.

Why aren't you home yet?

Gosh, Sang Man.

What kind of police officer goes home on time nowadays?

How have you been?

You've been to Paradise Motel before too, right?

Such an odd question you're asking.

I've been to so many motels.

How would I remember all of them?

You didn't do barbaric things...

like beating people up there with a mop, did you?

I'm about to open this can of worms that is the motels,

which is scarier than opening up Pandora's Box,

and just barge right in!

So, take care of yourself,

Chief.

(Chief An Young Kwon)

Barbaric?

Goodness.

Hold on. Is he...

now a private investigator and is snooping around my affairs?

What motels is he talking about?

Du Shik, what happened with the demolition thing?

After 10 years in prison,

there was nothing much I could do to make a living.

Then, Bum Jae, who was in prison with me,

asked me for help with his work.

I did the job for about three months and quit after.

It's good that you quit fast.

Well,

I even smashed my mother's workplace down.

(City Maintenence)

Let's get it done fast and go home.

Don't hurt anyone.

- Get started. - Yes, sir.

Let's go!

Get out of my way!

- Please! - Stop.

Please don't do this.

Please don't do this to us.

Please.

Go!

Out of my way!

Don't do this!

Ladies!

Come in.

- Come in. - Please!

Please stop!

Let go. Let go of this!

Please don't do this.

Let's get it done quickly.

- Come on. - Hurry up!

Sir, what are you doing?

Sir, you're going to get hurt. Please get out of our way.

We're just practicing law here. Get out.

- Get it done fast. - Yes, sir.

You're going to get hurt! Get out!

- What was that? - What do you mean?

What on earth are you doing?

Mom! What are you...

Don't even call yourself my son if you're going to live like this!

- I'm disgusted! - Ma'am!

Stop.

- I didn't raise you like this! - Please stop.

Hold on. That's my mom!

- Stop! - Stop what?

Mom!

When you went to prison, I've been working...

and living here.

Get another job.

Go back to delivering fried chickens or something.

If you make others cry,

you will shed tears of blood.

You fool.

That day,

she beat me up with raw chicken,

and I quit right after.

We're at a fried chicken restaurant right now,

and you were framed while delivering chickens too.

I still love fried chicken.

I saw your records. Your mother is a step-mother, right?

When my father passed away,

I refused to go to school and went through a rebellious phase.

But my mom always stood by my side.

You proving your innocence will be a way to pay back to her.

You two! You're only good at running on your feet.

Having to use your brains is giving you a headache, isn't it?

It sure is.

That's why I've given some thought.

You won't tell us that we should talk to the real killer, will you?

Mr. Park, let's make a change in our plan.

- How? - We'll get the records first,

then Mr. Park here will write an article.

Won't the judge approve only with some public support?

You didn't forget...

how Jo Ki Soo and the whole judiciary moved together...

to manipulate the Samjung Three-man Murder Case, did you?

They might pressure Department of Justice again...

to not release any records.

Justice Jo Ki Soo's past rulings are already unavailable.

Exactly. Let's work on the article funding...

after we get the records.

We'll stab them from the back.

You're a genius!

I was completely right in recruiting Ms. Hwang for this case.

I'm surely amazing.

Everything leads to you talking about how great you are.

The key here is to keep ourselves completely sealed...

until we get our hands on the documents, all right?

- Okay! - Okay.

You even recruited Ms. Hwang and Captain Han.

Thank you for helping Du Shik.

You know how to thank people too?

You've grown into such a fine man.

You've been very cheesy the whole day today.

Was it the fried chickens from earlier?

Anyway, I'll work really hard. I mean it.

Right. Yes.

Anyway, I'll get Yoo Kyung to look...

into the judges and the prosecutors that were on the case.

She has access now.

Hey, it's me. You're going through so much working as a reporter.

Mr. Park, I'm suffering.

Don't tease me.

Can you look into the people who were on the Osung Case?

You want me to look into what they're up to?

Remember what you said when you had lunch with me...

on the day of Jo Ki Soo's inauguration day?

If you have anything to say, say it.

Give me a call when you need help.

What will you pay me in return if I do look into them for you?

All right. I'll take you in...

when things get really difficult for you.

That's a good deal, isn't it?

Anyway, please and thank you.

She's going to look into this for us?

She has to do whatever her senior asks her, of course!

I feel so much better to hear that Ms. Lee is stepping up.

What's wrong with you?

You've been weird all day today.

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

(Investigation records)

The more I investigate the case,

the more I'm reminded of my son who left me first.

Arrested at the age of 17, currently 20 years old.

I wonder what this child is thinking in prison.

Where's the rest of your family?

Oh, my wife and daughter are in the US.

My daughter is studying, and my wife is looking after her.

What about your son?

Right. He's in the US too.

Hi, my baby, it's me.

What time is it in New York?

Sook In,

don't get surprised if you see me on the news again, okay?

Don't worry about me.

All right.

Who am I?

That's right.

I haven't seen you work so hard in a while.

I knew it.

Still, you are really working hard.

What?

I fell asleep.

Your articles are amazing even when you don't try,

so how sexy of an article are you trying to write...

that you're pulling an all-nighter?

Gosh.

Du Shik's family will be so sad if we miss this chance.

We have to hit a homerun this time too.

That way, I'll get my reputation back up,

and it won't be embarrassing when I meet your father.

Your ability to empathize and drive are your strengths,

but I'll be very sad if you pass out,

so don't you work too hard.

(Court)

(Osung District Court, October 5)

Defendant was absent during the first proceeding,

so we were going to close the case soon,

but today for the third proceeding,

Attorney Park and Attorney Hwang have come forward for Defendant.

For many reasons, Defendant Kim could not defend himself.

We would like to go over everything, fact by fact.

The initial reason for this claim...

is the case of murder of a trucker...

at the Ancheon-dong Three-way Intersection in Osung in 2002.

I believe that Defendant was deemed guilty,

and is now done serving his sentence in prison.

That being said, don't we already know all the facts?

If Defendant Kim Du Shik is indeed guilty of the murder,

it makes sense that he pays the claim and apologizes.

However, Kim Du Shik is...

not the culprit of the case.

Are you saying you want to challenge this case...

that closed 18 years ago at a civil court?

Your Honor, three years after Defendant Kim was arrested,

a police officer arrested the man who is supposedly the real culprit,

and he's here at the court today.

Please allow us to a questioning of the witness...

and permission to view Han Sang Man's investigation record.

Defendant Kim Du Shik, at the time of the rulings,

did not have the chance to defend himself,

and merely testified falsely.

We'd also like to bring his mother, Lee Hoe Sook, as a witness.

Three years after the incident,

when we received a report that the real culprit is still out,

the police were also astonished.

Also, I've received a statement...

from the real culprit...

that matches the events that took place.

Do you believe that examining these records...

will make a difference in what we know about the case?

As a former police officer,

I will put my honor to what I say.

Kim Du Shik is not the real culprit.

Is there any proof to back your claim up?

If you look at the investigation records stored...

in the National Archives of Korea by the prosecution,

I believe you will agree with me, Your Honor.

(Witness)

In September 2002, when your son, Kim Du Shik, was arrested,

what kind of help did you give?

I couldn't give any help.

If your son isn't guilty,

doesn't it make sense to defend him to the best of your abilities?

Did you get him a lawyer?

That didn't even come to my mind.

How could I think of that?

Why not?

You said that your son is innocent.

Your Honor, considering hiring a lawyer is...

something that only those who can hire a lawyer can do.

How could we even imagine of that?

Please ask your questions.

Did you have a visitation with your son at the police station?

A visitation? What is that?

Did you go to see Du Shik at the police station?

I wanted to, but I couldn't.

So, the 17-year-old son was investigated by the police...

without a lawyer or guardian.

Yes.

- Look him up. - Sorry?

You said you saw the culprit.

He must be one of the Osung residents.

Look him up, you punk.

Wait. I don't know how much of a help it was,

but I did one thing.

What did you do?

Instead of a lawyer, I got chickens.

Two big locally-bred chickens.

What brings you here?

Ma'am, what are you carrying?

I'm Kim Du Shik's mother.

I brought some braised chickens.

They're two locally-bred chickens.

What did you bring them for?

It's a little hot outside,

so eat this and please take good care of my son.

I'd really appreciate it if you could give some to Du Shik too.

Could I see Du Shik?

He's not a boy who'd kill a man.

Please do your best on the case.

Kim Du Shik has been transferred to the Prosecution.

What does that mean?

He's not here. He's with the Prosecution now.

Does that mean that I can't see him here?

Ma'am, I'm sorry, but you can't meet him here.

You can take your pot back.

No, you can have all of it.

If by any chance,

my son comes back here, please take good care of him.

Have a great day.

Bye now.

I was afraid that could be considered a bribe,

so I wasn't able to tell anyone about this until now...

because I was afraid that I'd get punished.

Ma'am. No, Witness,

you've kept that story a secret all along,

so why are you bringing it up now?

Because I'm fine with getting punished.

I'm hoping this would help to prove my son innocent.

From the homeless girl murder case in Suwon...

to the Samjung three-man murder case,

there have been many instances...

where the truths regarding the cases have changed.

Since 2000, 20 percent of cases have had their rulings flipped...

from the 1st hearing to the 2nd.

That's about 30,000 cases.

I'd like to submit a document of some big examples of that.

This document is from the Financial Supervisory Service.

We've also summarized cases where the truths have been...

proved wrong in cases...

involving private insurance companies.

Since 2000, there have been about 200 cases...

Yes, I understand.

Please give us access...

to see the records to get the truth behind the case.

Attorneys representing Plaintiff and Defendant,

let's have a brief discussion.

Plaintiff's representative, what do you think?

I think the two sides should just come to an agreement.

How could you go about and do this when the case is already over?

I'm sorry. You saw Defendant's mother.

This is their first-ever proper hearing.

It's best for us if we could just end this fast.

If we lose, we'll pay what we have to.

Please allow us to look at the records.

Your Honor, I will follow your ruling.

Your Honor, please allow them...

to have a fair hearing that they deserve.

Please.

- All right, then. - Okay.

Whether it be a criminal or civil charge,

getting the truth behind the case is the utmost priority for the court,

so I will grant the permission to access the records.

- Let's do that. - Yes, Your Honor.

(Defendant)

Ms. Lee and Captain Han, great work today.

Thank you so much.

Mom, why are you doing that?

This humble woman has never met two lawyers...

at the same time like this before.

You must've all graduated from a proper college.

Ma'am, that's not what matters!

People who got a good education from good schools...

are the ones who framed your son.

Ma'am, I didn't go to college.

Mom, did you end up getting that pressure cooker back?

Yes, it was completely clean the day after.

I guess the policemen who manipulated the case ate it all up.

Wait, so you didn't have any?

How could I?

I didn't even get a look at it.

Ms. Lee,

I'll work hard...

and make sure to repay you for those braised chickens.

- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.

I mean it.

I'll do my best.

- Hey. - This is ridiculous.

Did you feed your writing skills to the dogs?

If you just list the facts,

how will you make the readers empathize?

Readers nowadays are not that easy.

The psyche of the killer who stabbed a man...

17 times without even a grudge.

The witness was framed for the murder,

and the murderer is set free. What a twisted play of fate.

That's the heart of the story.

- Fine. - You boring bum.

You're too busy with work and forgot how to be fun.

Meet the murderer and ask him some questions,

or read a book. Something. Beef up the details.

Okay! I got it!

Stop talking already, will you?

I got it!

Where am I supposed to find the killer?

Is something wrong?

- No. - I'll go...

get the records from the National Archives of Korea,

so let's upload the article by tomorrow night.

- That soon? - Word will get out quickly.

We have to act first before Justice Jo...

does something.

It's time for you and Captain Han to show your stuff.

I'll get it written up by tomorrow night.

Why the face? Things are going well.

Gosh. I expected as much,

but Du Shik's mom broke my heart.

Your Honor, considering hiring a lawyer is...

something that only those who can hire a lawyer can do.

How could we even imagine of that?

This humble woman has never met two lawyers...

at the same time like this before.

("Mom Murders Boyfriend In Front of Young Son and Confesses")

I didn't know Mr. Park's story.

I'm a lawyer, but I was looked down upon for not going to college.

I can only imagine how it was for him.

Aren't you going to Seoul today?

I want to go to Anyang and see my mom.

Your mother lives in Anyang?

You never talk about her, so I didn't know.

Wait here.

- I have to go. - One minute.

What's good for the elderly?

You should bring things like this when you visit your mother.

It's expensive, so don't drink it by yourself.

What do you live on lately? Do you have any money?

I can afford this much.

If there were a department store, I'd buy her this much...

of the red ginseng extract.

But there isn't one,

so...

Thank you. Bye.

Bye.

(Bath, Motel)

Sam Soo?

Why are you squatting out here?

I told you to dry your hair. It's getting cold out.

Oh, my.

You're looking good.

Gosh.

Are you here to pay me back for the money you borrowed?

That...

Wait a little. I'll pay you back.

You're the debtor. Why are you getting mad?

Come in.

Gosh.

Why did you come?

Because I missed you.

What a good son.

Mom.

Yes?

You were in prison for seven years, right?

Yes.

Did you get seven years from the initial trial?

Yes.

What about an appeal? Did you appeal?

An appeal?

What's that?

- Goodness. - Oh, my gosh.

- That's gross. - Sorry about that.

- Here. - Gosh.

Did you have a visitation with your son at the police station?

A visitation? What is that?

What about your lawyer?

Did you have a lawyer during the investigation?

Well...

I may have scrubbed a lawyer or two,

but I didn't have money for a lawyer.

It's from Park Tae Yong, the lawyer I work with.

My gosh.

My son has made it.

He's friends with a lawyer.

I'm being spoiled thanks to my son.

I get to drink something from a lawyer.

Seriously.

What's the big deal?

Why are you so snippy today?

Whatever. Just eat your noodles.

Eat the kimchi too.

You're in the bathhouse all day long,

and then this tiny room at night.

Isn't it suffocating?

Where could a woman who killed a person go?

This is a palace compared to a prison.

How did you last seven years in prison?

Is it bearable?

You don't live there because it's bearable.

You live there because you have to.

But you know...

I got to eat food prepared by someone else for the first time.

So? Did it taste good?

You don't eat because it tastes good.

You eat because you're hungry.

I'm sorry,

but why did you stab your boyfriend so many times?

Because I was scared.

It was because I was scared.

I got beat up so hard so many times...

I thought I'd die.

Give me money!

Give me money! Give it!

Give me money!

Stop it!

Are you mad?

Forget that.

We'll both die today.

Give me money...

- if you don't want to die. - I'm sorry.

I don't have any!

Mom...

Mom...

Mom...

Good.

All three of us will die today, including your kid. Okay?

Yes. Good.

- No. Don't do it. - Let go!

No!

No! Don't do it!

I was...

outside.

I tried to open the door,

but I froze.

I was scared too.

I was scared, so I ran away.

If I had opened the door,

you and that man would've been fine.

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

- Out of my way! - No!

- No. - Get out of my way!

- No. Don't! - If you want to save your kid...

Out of my way!

If you don't give me money, your kid dies today. Got that?

You'd better give me money today.

Your kid...

Don't be stupid.

By the time you came,

it was over already.

I did it because I wanted to live.

Gosh. What's the point in living like this?

But I still wanted to live.

Hey.

You did absolutely nothing wrong,

so don't get any stupid ideas.

Okay?

Don't women take baths anymore?

I don't have many customers.

Buy yourself some lunch.

(Don't women take baths anymore?)

Mr. Park. I got the records!

Publish the article as soon as you can.

I'll go to Suwon with Ms. Hwang as quickly as I can.

Okay.

Captain Han, I got my hands on the case files!

Really? Great job.

I'll get moving too then.

Detective Bong, it's Han Sang Man.

Thanks for remembering your old mentor.

I'm on my way to the headquarters. Can we have coffee together?

A visitation? What is that?

What about an appeal? Did you appeal?

An appeal? What's that?

Instead of a lawyer, I got chickens.

Two big locally-bred chickens.

I didn't have money for a lawyer.

Hey, bald genius.

I sent you a new article.

Oh, my. The article is brilliant.

Once this is published along with the photos,

it'll attract so much attention.

Right?

- Are you ready? - Of course!

All right. It's going up.

Here we go!

Can you look into the people who were on the Osung Case?

Is Prosecutor Yun Hee Seong the most searched person right now?

Well, no. What's the matter?

Come to my office for a second.

Are you getting the hang of your new task?

I'd rather not, to be honest.

You'll be sent back to your original team after a while.

Anyway,

I want you to cover this.

"Volunteer Awards Ceremony".

Is it another ad?

I'll be honest with you since you're a professional.

The provincial government asked us to cover the ceremony...

in return for ads.

Go out there and get some fresh air.

Isn't it boring to be sitting at the office every day?

At least it'd be better than writing about the most searched people.

"The Second Prize",

"Lee Yong Seon and six others".

"The First Prize, Cho Seong Su, President of Sageori Club".

What's that?

I'm finally going out to cover a story.

- What is it? - It's the president's order.

What do you think? It's another ad.

Lee Yoo Kyung!

- Do you know what Sam Soo is up to? - Why?

(I Didn't Kill Anyone)

(I Didn't Kill Anyone)

(Chief An Young Kwon)

Have you seen it?

Be quiet. I'm reading it right now.

So this is what Han Sang Man has been up to?

You knew about it?

Darn it.

This was ages ago.

Sang Man, do you have to do this?

Couldn't you at least give me a heads-up?

This is too sudden!

Young Kwon. I'm Han Sang Man.

An investigation has to be secret and thorough. Don't you know that?

Have you done anything wrong? Why are you so surprised?

Hello, Mr. Han.

Joon Seok, is everything okay?

I saw this article.

What is it? Is it something good?

Park Sam Soo! How could you do this to me?

(Head Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk)

Couldn't you tell me beforehand?

I'm disappointed!

Who are you going after now?

Take it easy, will you?

Are you involved in this too?

Why are you so upset?

Mr. Park, I'm in charge of communication.

I'm supposed to know everything that's going on.

"The prosecution acts as one." You don't know that?

Do you have any idea how I got where I am now?

In addition to the Oh Jae Duk Case, now the Osung Case.

I guess you'll be quite busy.

It looks like there will be another retrial.

Lawyer Park Tae Yong worked on...

the recent reimbursement suit in Osung.

He already obtained a copy of the case files.

- How? - Civil Judge Lee Sang Don...

recently gave him permission.

You didn't have to see me out.

You're busy. Go back inside.

It's okay.

Joon Seok, let me see your eyes before I leave.

Oh, my.

When you first joined the force,

I was worried if you could really catch criminals...

with those kind-looking eyes.

You've come a long way.

Not really.

Hey.

Did you really not go to Paradise Motel?

What would I do at a motel at night?

Who goes to a motel during the day?

I trust you.

When Prosecutor Yun issued me a search and seizure warrant,

I only took you with me. And I told you why, right?

Yes, it was because you trusted me.

That's right.

And I still do.

See you.

See you.

Lee Jae Sung certainly is the killer.

The killer confessed four times, but they let him go.

Can you believe that?

- Hello. - Ms. Lee, it's been so long.

Ms. Lee, I missed you.

You've seen our achievement, right?

Yes, I'm impressed.

But I wish I had known beforehand.

This time, we really needed to be careful.

I'm sure Chief Justice Jo Ki Soo and the police are panicking.

And we have Ms. Hwang to thank for that.

You flatter me.

I put together the information Sam Soo requested.

He told me to bring it here.

Ms. Lee, you did a great job.

You put this together so neatly.

- This should be excluded, right? - Yes.

What about this?

I'll be going now. You two must be busy.

You came all the way to Suwon. Are you leaving already?

I'm going down to North Jeolla Provincial Government tomorrow.

I should go home, do some preparation, and rest.

Stay a little longer.

Ms. Lee.

Gosh, I wanted to give her a ride.

But we have so many documents to go through.

You're not going anywhere. We're pulling an all-nighter tonight.

Prosecutor Yun Hee Seong is in Seoul now?

He issued a search and seizure warrant once.

At least he tried to solve the case.

You're right.

Then why did he fail to find the knife?

(North Jeolla Province Volunteer Awards Ceremony)

Hey, it's me.

You're going through so much working as a reporter.

"Your engagement, anger, and sense of justice..."

I'm here!

I brought Du Shik's case files!

First hurdle down!

Ms. Hwang and I will analyze them thoroughly.

I can't thank you enough, Mr. Park.

Anyway, I couldn't have told it...

from the way Mr. Park looks,

but he actually has incredible writing skills.

Captain Han, I'm Park Sam Soo.

Has there been any response yet?

I went and shook up the police.

Let's wait just a little longer.

All we have to do now is find Lee Jae Sung's knife.

It's time to do what you two Parks are good at.

Working in the field.

Find Lee Jae Sung first,

and search for the knife like you look for a needle in a haystack.

- What's there to worry about? - Come on.

Go, Parks!

The Third Prize, Jung Tae Hoon.

The rest is the same.

The Third Prize has been handed out...

to the winners.

It's time to present the Second Prize.

The Second Prize goes to social welfare official...

Lee Yong Seon and six others.

The Second Prize, Lee Yong Seon.

"In recognition of your dedicated service to the community,"

"we present this prize to you."

- Drink this. - Thanks.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

The coffee is...

What's wrong, Du Shik?

That man...

("Socal Welfare Official Lee Yong Seon and 6 Others Awarded")

("Socal Welfare Official Lee Yong Seon and 6 Others Awarded")

I think that's Lee Jae Sung.

(The Second Prize, Lee Yong Seon)

They look similar,

but his name is Lee Yong Seon.

It is Lee Jae Sung.

What did you just say?

That jerk is Lee Jae Sung!

Lee Jae Sung?

(The Second Prize, Lee Yong Seon)

(Delayed Justice)

An encounter with the real culprit, at last!

You were Lee Jae Sung, not Lee Yong Seon, right?

What do you want to know?

There's no proof that Lee Jae Sung is the murderer!

The path doesn't get twisted when there's a clear goal!

I've kept this all this time...

because I knew this day would come.

Seems like you'll have to take me in for this.

How dare they mess with the Prosecution?

Let's get the Prosecution,

and crush them!
