1986 HYUNGJAE FACTORY SEXUAL TORTURE CASE

KWAK YOUNG-SHIL MISSING IN 1996

Ms. Ma?

Ms. Min.

What's all this?

It's not your concern.

Yes,

it is.

That's my mom.

KWAK YOUNG-SHIL MISSING IN 1996

BAEK SANG-HO

"Baek Sang-ho"?

Baek Sang-ho speaking.

I told you that I'd call you.

You should go back in.

You're here. You should've called first. Did you eat?

Yes, I ate.

Is something wrong?

You look terrible.

It's nothing. I'm fine.

Mom.

About Kim Mi-jung I mentioned before,

I found her medical record earlier.

But there's something odd about it.

I ran a background check on her resident registration number,

and it was someone else. Her name and address are different too.

Really?

Was there anything odd when she was in the hospital?

Like what you see on the news about people who fake

someone's identity and send them to a mental hospital to take their money.

If Kim Mi-jung was also in such a situation,

the Kim Mi-jung that you know

may not be the real Kim Mi-jung. Right?

Don't you have something to tell me?

Hyungjae Factory--

The sexual torture of female factory workers.

You've heard of it, right?

In 1986,

when Jo Gab-soo was a detective,

female union members who'd gone on strike

were sexually assaulted.

I was the prosecutor in charge of the case.

I brought Jo Gab-soo to trial with the victims' testimony,

but we lost due to insufficient evidence.

So?

What does that have to do with my mom?

The one victim of the torture

who could not be located.

Seo Jung-soon died, and the day after he was found not guilty.

I have information to give you.

Yes, go ahead.

It's regarding Jo Gab-soo.

I have

a tape recording of Jo Gab-soo

admitting to what he did ten years ago.

Back then,

I was sure that informant was Kwak Young-shil.

But I couldn't meet her.

Instead,

I saw someone else.

Look who it is.

Isn't it Min Ji-sook,

the just prosecutor?

Kwak Young-shil, who had the evidence,

and Jo Gab-soo, who wanted to hide it, were at the same hospital.

Then, Kwak Young-shil disappeared.

Do you think that was a coincidence?

Do you think Jo Gab-soo had nothing to do with it?

Are you saying that man abducted my mom?

It's a reasonable deduction.

So I investigated it as an abduction for a while,

but there weren't enough leads.

No way. My mom wouldn't--

Sexual torture?

No way.

That can't be.

My mom is such a cheerful person.

I never once saw her cry, cringe or even sigh.

And she's a crybaby.

She'd freak out about a tiny cut.

How could she have endured…

sexual torture?

If she really experienced something so horrible,

she wouldn't have been in her right mind after that.

HYUNGJAE FACTORY SEXUAL TORTURE CASE FILE

You should see for yourself.

HYUNGJAE FACTORY SEXUAL TORTURE CASE FILE

There must've been an error.

Don't you remember?

The hospital computer was so old that it'd break all the time.

The nurses always had to put in the patients' information over and over.

It must've been put in incorrectly back then.

And Kim Mi-jung saved your life. I owed her big.

You think I'd be mistaken about that?

I'm tell the truth.

Trust me.

Okay.

This was on the floor.

Who is he?

A patient's guardian.

Jin-wook.

You should eat well.

I think you've lost weight.

You too.

I'll get going.

Okay.

CONGRATULATIONS 2016 NEWLY APPOINTED PROSECUTORS

Let me take a look at my son.

You look great.

Didn't you nag me about it?

I was just a bit upset.

You wanted to be a doctor like me at first.

-Did you prepare an oath? -Of course!

I will become a prosecutor who is courageous and fights injustice,

who looks after the weak and underprivileged,

and who is just and follows only the truth.

It's so corny.

Gosh, who do you take after that you're so witty?

Don't beat around the bush. I take after you.

I'm like a clone of you from head to toe.

That's true.

You'll do well.

I trust that you'll become a good prosecutor

who reveals the truth for the victims.

HYUNGJAE FACTORY SEXUAL TORTURE CASE FILE

VICTIM NAME: KWAK YOUNG-SHIL

PATIENT NAME: KWAK YOUNG-SHIL

COMPLAINED OF PANTALGIA AND DIZZINESS

Injuries caused by contact with an external object,

uterine hemorrhage, ruptured rectum.

So you're not ashamed of it?

There's no reason to be ashamed.

Hey, I-deum. Play with me!

I'm reading a book!

Gosh. What are you trying to become that you study so hard?

-A doctor. -A doctor?

Sure, a doctor. That would be nice.

You can help the sick.

And you can go volunteer to help people

at remote areas.

Volunteer?

I'm not going to do that.

You want to be a doctor.

Yes, and I'll become a rich doctor.

All you talk about is money.

People might think you have a beggar mom.

I'm not doing this just for myself.

I'm doing it for your sake as well.

You don't know anything.

Is that so?

-Gosh, then study hard. -Stop it.

Let me live a luxury life thanks to you.

Mom…

Mom…

For Jo Gab-soo, the future Yongpa mayor. Cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Mr. Oh, when you stood in front of Heo

and told him he'd get ten years for accepting 200 million in bribes

and lose the right to run for election,

I felt so good.

You're flattering me so much.

I only told him we should do it by the law.

He should be flattering you.

Thanks to you, he got to join hands with him

and will be elected for sure.

Am I right, Mayor Jo?

Sure. I'll be serving you for the rest of my life.

Will I get to see such beauties all my life?

Of course!

You're just my type.

-Oh, my. -Come on, man.

Bottoms up.

Honey!

What a man! You're crazy.

You have something on you.

Is it a cut?

I'm sorry.

It's not like you got hit. Where did you get that?

I did get hit.

Really?

That's interesting.

I never thought someone like you would get beaten up too.

You still think it's interesting?

It must be good to be so easily amused.

Come on, we were having fun. What's with you? Don't mess it up.

Come on.

I was just joking.

It's not interesting now, right?

Then smile a little.

Come on.

You smiled.

Satisfied now?

Yes, of course.

I enjoyed it so much.

Yes, it was fun.

-I enjoyed it a lot. -I'm glad.

All right.

-Please invite me again. -I will.

Take care.

What's going on?

It's nothing.

Ma'am, please come down!

-Come down. -What are you doing?

What are you doing up there? Come down!

Be careful, it's dangerous!

She should come down.

I said, come down!

Please come down!

Jo Gab-soo! Bring Jo Gab-soo!

I--

I won't go down until he comes here!

Bring Jo Gab-soo!

Isn't that Prosecutor Ma I-deum?

What does she have to do with Jo Gab-soo?

Let's report it to the news desk first.

Call Jo Gab-soo right now!

Bring him here!

Bring Jo Gab-soo!

Jo Gab-soo!

Get down!

Please come down!

You have to get down!

Mr. Yeo.

Okay. I'll be right there.

What? Ma I-deum?

Yes.

I don't know what it's about,

but she's demanding to bring you.

She's threatening for two hours that she'll jump if you don't come.

Why are you telling me this?

Are you telling me to go beg her to come down?

Sir, the thing is,

when you visited her at the hospital, it was in the news.

She's even in your campaign video.

So if something bad happens to her,

they might drag you in. I'm worried about that.

Fine. But I shouldn't go without knowing what it's about.

Who knows what will happen there?

I still think

you should go.

Ms. Ma.

What's the matter?

Why are you putting yourself in danger?

You might get hurt.

Please come down so we can talk.

Okay.

Jo Gab-soo!

What did you do to my mom?

What did you do to Kwak Young-shil?

Ms. Ma.

Why are you

asking me about your mom?

Who should I ask then?

In 1986, you raped her during interrogation,

and in 1996,

you abducted her when she was trying to report it.

The criminal is right in front of me.

Now that I know you're safe,

I'll be going.

-What is this? -Look.

On the day my mom went missing,

you were also at the place where my mom

was last seen

before she disappeared.

Is it a coincidence?

What are you trying to say,

Ms. Ma?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

That day,

you ran into my mom who was about to meet Prosecutor Min to report the torture.

You figured leaving her alone

would ruin everything you did for your acquittal.

Of course, you had to do something.

So you kidnapped her and got rid of the evidence.

Shamelessly, you became a commissioner general,

and then a politician.

Now, you're even trying to become a mayor!

Do you have proof?

I'll find it soon.

Do you know

why your mom disappeared?

Because

she tried to reveal things.

If you don't want to end up like her,

you'd better remain quiet.

Great.

You should've reacted that way from the start.

This gives me a reason to live.

I'll find the evidence soon

and get a warrant to arrest you.

You can look forward to it, Jo Gab-soo.

-What an exclusive. -Will we find any witness?

Ms. Ma's mom's name is Kwak Young-shil?

-Excuse me. -Is that her mom?

We'll interview those around Jo Gab-soo first.

Ms. Han. Where is Ms. Ma?

It's over.

She's safe, so don't worry.

I think the disappearance of Ms. Ma's mom has something to do with Jo Gab-soo.

JO GAB-SOO DISCHARGED FROM THE HOSPITAL ON THE 12TH

Anyway, I feel sorry for what happened

to her mom.

Can you drive me home?

Didn't you say you had something to tell me

at the hospital?

I'll tell you later.

I'll give you exactly one hour.

I don't care how you do it. Stop them!

If they so much as mention kidnapping on the internet,

you will never set foot

in Yeouido. I'll make sure of it.

Understand?

Yes.

Where's Sang-ho?

I told you

not to let Tae-kyoo come in here.

I'm sorry, sir.

Who did he come with?

Did he come alone?

Play it.

Okay.

MIN-HO

The phone you called is turned off.

You'll be directed to voicemail after the beep.

Hand all the CCTV footage over to me.

And check if he was caught on any other cameras.

Yes, sir.

-Yes? -This is bad.

Where have you been?

I'm sorry, sir.

Did popping champagne for a few days

make you go soft?

I heard. What should I do about that prosecutor?

I suggest having Mr. Oh pressure--

If we go soft on her,

she won't get it.

If she wants to throw turd in my face,

I will

throw turd in hers too.

I'll look into it.

MS. MIN

Hello, Ms. Min.

So?

Do you feel better after causing a ruckus?

The reporters told me about last night.

It was a personal matter.

You don't need to make excuses.

I understand how you felt and why you did it.

I'm sure you couldn't stop thinking about your mom after talking with me.

It was obvious Jo Gab-soo would play dumb.

You must've thrown the reporters bait

in hopes of finding out where your mom was.

But unfortunately…

I think someone obtained the hidden camera videos of you

from Kim Sang-gyoon's case.

They didn't upload the entire video,

but they disclosed a few screenshots to make you trending online.

It's obvious who's behind it.

I feel

terrible about your mom too.

But Ms. Ma.

Jo Gab-soo won't be caught that easily.

You need to be rational.

You can take a few days off if you need.

No.

I'll work.

That makes no sense.

How could you print that?

This is a human rights violation

and defamation.

-Take it down right now. -Sir?

Even the president is concerned with digital sexual crimes.

How could you write a suggestive article like this?

Yes. Please delete it.

Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

Not at all.

This is all for our unit.

-Gosh -Mr. Koo.

Yes?

What is all of this?

I was thankful and felt bad for last time.

You must miss home cooking since you live alone.

I used my cooking skills a little.

Did you make all of this by yourself?

Yes. It wasn't that hard. Please eat.

But I don't know if I deserve this.

Well.

Okay. Thank you, Ms. Son.

Thank you.

What should I eat first?

Are we having a feast or something?

Look how pretty the food looks.

It looks like banquet food.

I packed a lunch.

You haven't eaten yet? I wish I could share it, but I made two servings--

Really? Can we join you?

-We'd love to. -Here.

But it's two servings.

I haven't had home cooking in ages.

I get home too late to even cook for myself.

-Thank you, Ms. Son. -Sure.

-Mr. Koo. Please eat. -Sure.

Ms. Seo. Eat up.

Eat up.

-You too, Ms. Son. -You're such a good cook.

-This is incredible. -Try this.

Kong Soo-ah is missing.

What happened?

This is her call history for yesterday and today.

The highlighted number is Eel's burner phone.

It looks like she went out after getting his call.

She couldn't have…

CALL OR YOUR GRANDMA WILL BE IN DANGER

So she disappeared after she went to work?

Yes. We couldn't find

any communication afterwards.

How about places she could've gone to?

Her grandma and friends

have no idea where she is either.

Then there's no way to locate her?

That's why I called you.

This is the number she last called.

MA I-DEUM

I-deum, please help me.

I'm at Hyungjae Hotel, K…

Bring Jo Gab-soo!

Jo Gab-soo!

I won't go down until he comes here!

Ms. Ma.

I-deum, please help me.

I'm at Hyungjae Hotel, K--

Hyungjae Hotel?

There is no room with K in the name.

Are you sure you checked properly? Check again.

Are you sure it's our hotel?

There must be a mistake.

We tracked her cell phone, and it was in Hyungjae Hotel.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Then may we check the security footage?

We only need to check between 7 p.m. and this morning.

I'm sorry,

but it's against the privacy policy of our hotel.

We're looking for someone. You got to help us.

There's nothing else I can help you with.

-My apologies. -Look.

Something may have happened to a kid.

I'm sorry,

but we can't help you.

Are you kidding me? Why can't you?

A person's life is at stake, but you won't help?

Bring a warrant.

Then we'll cooperate.

We will, so wait.

If anything is missing or destroyed, you'll be accountable.

I'll add on your refusal to cooperate and hold you legally accountable.

Do you get that?

Let's go.

Darn it. Do you know how urgent the situation is?

Wait, why…

He always squirms out of traps, so his nickname is "Eel."

-Hi. -Hello, sir.

Last night…

Damn it…

That's him, right? Eel!

Get over here!

Darn it.

Stop coming after me!

Darn it.

Stop chasing me.

You're dead meat!

I'm a prosecutor. Sorry.

Excuse me.

Manual? I can't do it.

Wait, hold on. Prosecutor.

Let's take a break!

Stop. Mr. Eel!

Mr. Eel. I need to talk to you. Hold on.

You must be tired!

Mr. Koo!

Sorry. Go. Just go.

Don't worry about me. Go!

You can do it! Go!

Bicycle. Get on the bicycle!

Stop coming! Darn it.

Hold on.

Where's Soo-ah?

Who the hell are you?

Where's Kong Soo-ah?

-Hold on. -Seriously.

Did you get him?

Good.

The phone you called is turned off.

After the beep…

LAWYER HEO YOON-KYUNG

Did Min-ho come to work?

As you can see.

Okay.

I heard he was going to Kingdom yesterday.

You should check there.

Please watch what you say.

Have you forgotten

that the 100 million won includes the confidentiality agreement?

Of course, I remember that.

I just wondered

if I could help like last time.

MIN-HO

No.

No.

No.

No.

No…

UNINSTALL

No.

No.

No.

Hey. Wake up.

Hey.

Tae-kyoo.

Hey.

If you were drunk, you should've gone home.

Why did you drive?

Will we

be okay?

It was too dark last night--

So where did you drive my car when it was dark?

You dragged me here with you too.

If there's a single scratch, you're dead.

Hey.

Don't you

remember?

-Last night, we-- -"We"?

You and I can't be lumped together as "we."

Don't you agree?

Just because I partied with you,

you think you're on par with me?

You're right, but…

what you and I did last night--

What about last night?

What's there other than you drinking expensive drinks thanks to me?

What else?

Hey.

-Ahn Tae-kyoo. -Seriously.

Chicks or dudes.

Lowlifes are all the same.

If you're good to them, they try to walk all over you.

What?

Hey. Get out.

What are you doing? Get the hell out.

Sang-ho.

It's me.

She took off with my precious money.

That witch.

You had a sick teenage girl

do that just to make a few bucks?

"A few bucks"?

"A few bucks"?

I was supposed to get paid a brick.

And to be honest, Soo-ah was the one

who got excited when I mentioned money.

-What? -That wench

was blinded by greed and took off with the money.

Hold on. Isn't this

embezzlement or something?

Look.

Who pays that much money

for a sex trafficking done via online chat?

How could you trust him enough to send her there?

I sent her after making sure his identity checked out.

She's my ace. I wouldn't have sent her to just anyone.

I see. So his identity checked out?

That means you have the client's information.

Come on. What information do you have?

If I tell you,

what will you do for me?

You seem to be confused.

I mean, I should gain something

to give you information or something.

Look.

All of this is being recorded.

Everything you say. Your attitude.

They may be held against you later.

Are you threatening me?

You don't know how to make deals.

Even if you begged me, it wouldn't be enough.

-Aren't you going to find Soo-ah? -Wait.

Look, sir.

I'll drop the charges

for sex trafficking of minors.

This is being recorded, right? Clearly?

Clearly.

Finding Soo-ah is more important right now.

We need to save a life.

Gosh. Soo-ah. Okay.

We have to save Soo-ah.

Here.

This psycho sent me his ID for identity verification.

What's more, he said Hyungjae Hotel was his.

Doesn't it seem like there's something huge?

Okay. I clearly gave it to you. Now, get me out.

Clearly.

Your cell phone will be taken as evidence.

And if anything happened to Soo-ah,

you'll get aiding and abetting too.

Shut your trap and wait.

Wait, hold on. It was all recorded--

Hey!

This is why no one trusts the judiciary! You know that?

Don't delete this recording!

I'll check it all!

I'll check all of it!

Did you check Baek Min-ho's ID card?

Yes. There is no sign of forgery,

and I confirmed his identity.

I texted you his current address just now.

Okay.

Mr. Baek Min-ho.

Mr. Baek Min-ho.

We're prosecutors.

Mr. Baek?

Mr. Baek.

Mr. Baek?

You're inside, right? We're prosecutors.

Mr. Baek?

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

You are trespassing.

A high school girl went missing last night.

Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Missing?

You know her, right?

-I don't know. -You met her last night.

But you don't know her?

I don't think so.

MY BROTHER

Yesterday, you chatted with her and checked her photo around 8 p.m.

Then, you promised to meet an hour later.

I told you. I don't know.

What about this then?

You even sent your ID via online chat.

How could you not know?

You met Soo-ah, didn't you?

Why don't you take that?

Did you find her?

Not yet.

Min-ho.

Do you remember anything other than

signs and woods?

Hey. Prosecutors--

They are here right now.

You must find her first

no matter what.

What?

DANGER FALL HAZARD

Where were you and what did you do

between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. last night?

I was at my law office.

Were you working that late?

Yes. I focus better when it's quiet.

Then why don't you go and check what time I left?

Which law firm?

Hyungjae Law Firm in Gangnam.

Is that enough for now?

Goodbye, then.

Leave.

Yes. I focus better when it's quiet.

Hyungjae Law Firm in Gangnam.

Jo Gab-soo!

Bring Jo Gab-soo!

Bring Jo Gab-soo!

Hyungjae Law Firm was quiet?

While I created that ruckus last night?

Yes?

Mr. Yeo, we found Kong Soo-ah.

This was found next to her body.

BAEK MIN-HO

Gab-soo.

Please…

save Min-ho.
