STRANGER

STRANGER

As you can see, the patient's brain is more developed than the normal brain.

Therefore, he is suffering from even the smallest sound.

There's also a very sensitive area that controls emotions.

We have got some results here from the tests that have already come in.

We still got some more tests to do.

Now, there might be a small chance of complications, but I realize that...

To relieve his pain, the only solution is to perform partial lobotomy.

As a post-surgical after effect,

he may suffer from extreme pain or may not feel any emotions at all.

Si-mok, do your ears hurt even after the brain surgery?

No.

Have you felt angry or upset recently?

No.

Then, what about feeling happy or laughing out loud?

No.

What kind of food do you crave the most these days? What do you like?

I don't like anything.

How was it before?

Did you not have any likes or dislikes even back then?

What was it like before the surgery?

Were things very different compared to now?

Si-mok is hardly able to feel any emotions.

We'll have to keep monitoring his progress,

but there may be occurrences of other post-surgery side effects.

-Move your car! -What are you doing?

-I'm in a rush! -What's your problem?

-What on earth are you doing? -Move!

-Hey, move! -Hurry up and move the car!

-What are you doing now? -I said, move the car!

I'm Moo-sung Park.

It's very nice to meet you.

SANGHWA CONSTRUCTION CEO MOO-SUNG PARK

Just come over to my place. There are things we have to discuss.

That is 75-4.

This is 74-5.

Here is 76.

Excuse me. Do you know where 75-3 is?

-Why are you following me? -Mr. Park is home, right?

I don't know who that is.

You live there, 75-3.

No, it is not. Please leave.

Goodness, what a waste. I brought them for Moo-sung.

I'm not a creditor.

What are you talking about? Why would I be scared of creditors?

Your house will also get seized in the near future.

Let's go.

You are really not here because of money, right?

No one owes me any money. In fact, I have a ton of debt myself too.

Did you go to school with Moo-sung?

No, I didn't.

My family had a party.

I thought all the food would be gone if I waited until the end,

so I quickly brought a few things.

Moo-sung doesn't eat anything when I'm not home.

This is it.

You are really not a creditor, right?

We now have no money whatsoever.

Goodness, he must be sleeping.

He hasn't been getting much sleep at night these days.

Why is this open?

Please wait outside.

Moo-sung.

The knife brushed against his arm and left a shallow wound on his side.

His neck. This is the fatal wound.

Three stab wounds. Someone who is right-handed.

It must have been someone who was holding grudges.

Was it a spur-of-the-moment thing?

Don't underestimate me. Your lives are in my hands. Do you know that?

I have nothing to lose now.

Go tell the deputy chief prosecutor.

If I open my mouth, he might get buried alive in a matter of seconds.

I will never die alone.

The killer used the knife that was here.

The fact that the culprit came in here without a weapon...

I'm calling to report a murder incident.

It's 75-3 Saebit-ro, Huam-dong.

A forensic unit is required on the scene, and the victim is dead.

There's an elderly woman in her 70s too, so please send an ambulance as well.

Could you identify yourself?

HANGANG YONGSAN CABLE TV

MISSED CALL FROM 1660-8237

Hello, thank you for calling Yongsan Cable TV...

This is 75-3 Huam-dong.

Did you get a repair request from Moo-sung Park?

Are you Mr. Park?

What time is the technician scheduled to arrive?

Just a second, please.

He was supposed to arrive at 2 p.m. Is he not there yet?

I would like his name and address, please.

Sir, we will get in touch with the technician and...

I'm a prosecutor from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

His name and address, please.

-Pardon me? -He's a murder suspect.

I need his name and address.

Hold on, please. His name is Jin-seob Kang.

His address is...

It is 61 Saechang-ro.

Please send a photo of him to this number.

Is he dead...

He is dead.

Guys,

-check around the house. -Yes, sir.

Hello?

This is the police. Is anyone inside?

Hello?

Hello?

-You called, right? We are the police. -Please take her.

-Okay. -Okay.

There is a body in the living room. There is a murder weapon as well.

-Sorry? Who are you? -Ma'am, are you okay?

-I'm from the Prosecutors' Office. -Ma'am!

-Where is the forensic unit? -The Prosecutors' Office?

-Then, are you a prosecutor... -Ma'am!

Ma'am. Are you all right?

Ma'am.

Excuse me.

Wait!

Excuse me.

Wait! Sir!

Sir, wait!

-He is from... -What is the matter? Who is he?

He is a...

Just get him! Make sure you get him!

I said, stop right there. Can't you hear me?

Hey!

Damn it.

Good. There you are. Then I'll just...

You jerk. I won't let you get away like that.

Come in.

This is Mr. Park. He is a friend of mine.

I'm Moo-sung Park.

It is very nice to meet you, Mr. Si-mok Hwang.

Yes, it's nice to meet you.

Have a seat.

I said great things about you to him,

so he has been dying to meet you.

Mr. Seo told me a lot about you.

I have to make a quick call.

I have been wanting to meet you for a long time.

I see.

SANGHWA CONSTRUCTION CEO MOO-SUNG PARK

I wanted to help a little since you do a lot of important work.

I hope you are not uncomfortable. It has no spending limit,

so please use it for good deeds.

Listen, 0474, please pull over.

JIN-SEOB KANG RESUME

Hey, 0474, pull over.

Get off.

I'm Prosecutor Hwang from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.

Why would a prosecutor run away?

Name, Jin-seob Kang. He is the suspect.

How do you know?

Can you turn off the siren? He will run away.

I'm asking how you know.

Are you the victim's family member? Where are you heading to?

To 61 Saechang-ro.

Turn off the siren, please.

HANGANG YONGSAN CABLE TV

Damn it!

-Move. -Hey!

-Get out of my way. -Goodness!

Shit.

What the...

What the hell?

Get lost!

Shit!

Shit.

Damn it!

You little...

Article Three Section One of the Police Powers and Duties Act.

You are under arrest for obstruction of justice.

You have the right to an attorney, and the right to remain silent.

You may also refuse to answer questions.

Is that it? That is everything he sold you?

Yes, this is it.

By the way, I paid him. What will happen to my money?

We will give it back to you later on.

Wait, where are you going? Where are you going now?

Wait! Goodness.

When will you give me back my money...

Goodness, this guy.

Where is...

Hey!

This hurts.

YONGSAN POLICE STATION

Goodness.

You let him take the suspect?

I'm sorry, sir.

What can you do? He's a prosecutor after all.

It is not an important case anyway.

You should have seen the mess in that house.

I wonder how he found and stole them.

Did he spot them when he was fixing their TV?

By the way, why did the prosecutor happen to be there at that time?

I will go there now and find out, okay?

I need to see the suspect too.

-All right. Get going. -Yes, sir.

Goodness, can someone take some of my cases off my plate?

It is going to take forever to work on all of these cases.

You lazy ass.

Hello?

The laptop?

Hey, I heard a prosecutor beat you.

Who dared to mess with you, Lieutenant Han?

This jerk.

-I'm heading out to get back at him. -Goodness.

Is he a prosecutor or a brutal criminal?

That drawing is a little...

Hey!

He said you should go to the hospital first.

Did Chief say that?

Why? Did the victim's mother wake up?

Yes. Well... I will go to the Prosecutors' Office.

No, it's okay. I will go.

It's all right. I will take care of it.

You joined our team two months ago, yet he still calls you "hey."

Will his tongue split if he addresses you respectfully?

Detective Jang,

I will be back soon.

My goodness. Please take your time, Lieutenant Han.

-See you. -See you. Good luck.

My goodness. Mr. Hwang, your face looks...

What happened? Did that jerk do it?

Are you okay? We should have some ointment around.

I'm all right. Ms. Young, later.

-I need you in here. -Sure.

You have been informed of your right to remain silent.

I found them in the yard.

I didn't even go into the house.

Feet up, please.

Are we good now?

God, what are you doing now?

It is not me. I didn't do it!

Had you planned it in advance, you would have prepared a weapon

and kept your shoes on as well.

You went there because of their TV, and he happened to be home alone.

Then, you saw a knife within your reach.

You lost it momentarily, didn't you? A spur-of-the-moment murder.

Goodness, no. He was already dead when I got there.

I was about to run out of there as I was so shocked. Then,

I saw necklaces and so on right beside him.

I know I shouldn't have done it.

I must have been out of my mind.

But that is really all that happened. I did not kill him.

How did you get into the house?

Someone let me in. Somebody opened the door for me from inside.

-Who? -How would I know?

He was already there when you got there, and no one else was home.

That's what you told me a few seconds ago.

His son and mother are his only family members.

His son is serving in the military now, and his mother wasn't home.

He was home alone and was found dead.

Then, who opened the door for you?

Was it a ghost?

I rang the doorbell, and someone let me in.

That person must be the killer. Whoever that was inside.

Shouldn't you catch him?

You think a killer would kindly let someone in

immediately after killing someone?

He obviously wanted to frame me for what he did.

But you didn't go in. You said you found them in the yard.

I only said that because I knew you wouldn't trust me.

When an ex-convict purposely picks a job that allows him

to visit people's homes...

Goodness, this is driving me nuts.

Do you think all ex-convicts kill people for no reason?

The entire house was already a total mess when I got there.

Please believe me!

What's this?

He is not caught off guard.

He is confused.

What is this?

He is not acting like he doesn't know.

He hasn't seen them before.

DEPUTY CHIEF PROSECUTOR CHANG-JUN LEE

Is there a problem?

Moo-sung Park.

My apologies. I keep digging, but I haven't...

He is dead.

Pardon me?

Mr. Park is dead.

When?

How?

Robbery murder.

Sorry?

The suspect is here now.

The suspect has already been caught?

Congratulations, sir.

Watch your mouth.

I'm sorry.

Don't you think a robbery-murder case is perfect though?

Si-mok is the one who found the body first and arrested the suspect.

-What a coincidence. -It's certainly not a coincidence.

They must have been in league.

If he wasn't killed,

we would be getting prosecuted by Si-mok instead of that suspect.

What if Mr. Park told him everything before he died?

What is there to tell?

It is not like we asked him for cars or houses like others do.

We just went out for a few meals with him, that's all.

Dead men tell no tales.

And the most important piece of the puzzle is gone.

No matter how capable Si-mok is,

he can't play this without the one who holds the key.

You obviously don't know him well enough.

He is like a venomous snake.

He will use this case in order to dig deeper.

Sir, let me handle this case. I will...

Let Eun-soo take care of it.

You mean the trainee in Si-mok's office?

She will turn it into a bigger deal.

It's about time she took on a real case.

Also, she will be a lot easier to handle than Si-mok.

Keep a watchful eye on how everything goes, please.

It's too obvious.

Si-mok will certainly sense that we are trying to exclude him.

We have already made it obvious.

He might try to make us give up our prosecutor's badges.

That's why I should take it on and...

Do you think Si-mok is an idiot?

Do you think he will leave a mouse in a cat's hands?

Why am I a cat?

Don't you dare act like you don't know.

We both know whom Mr. Park resented the most.

They were looking for someone who wants a family-like work environment.

Ex-convicts need to sustain themselves too.

I only did it to earn a living.

I should have been honest about my criminal record,

but they said they would treat me like family.

But family, my ass.

I don't even have time to take a piss, let alone eat anything.

I even had to write an apology for getting a low customer satisfaction rate.

They keep harassing me if I take a little longer at one location.

I'm required to sell too. I don't even have weekends off.

I have to work my ass off on weekends as well.

Do you know how much they pay me a month for working like a dog?

Why do you think I'm behind on my rent?

The fact that you are behind on rent means you must have debts as well.

You sure have a motive.

Sir, I...

I really wanted to start afresh and work hard, okay?

I'm a dad.

Sir, I...

I have a kid.

My wife. She is...

She's clueless even though she's a mom.

I have to look after my kid. No one else would do it.

I'm telling you.

I really want to be a good dad.

I want my kid to grow into a wonderful person.

I swear, I really wanted to start afresh.

Yes, I shouldn't have let my greed

get the best of me even though I saw the dead body.

But I didn't do it.

I really didn't do it.

How can anyone with a heart kill someone?

Send him to the detention center.

Sir!

What are his charges?

We will fill it in later on.

I'm innocent!

I told you I didn't do it. Why don't you believe me?

Innocent?

Even if your claim is true,

you saw the dead man covered in blood

and grabbed his money first.

Can you call that innocent?

Do you think anyone can do that?

I have stolen things, but I would never kill anyone!

Goodness, I...

It wasn't me. I didn't do it.

I'm saying I didn't do it! No!

Sir, I really didn't do it!

It wasn't me!

I see.

Sure, okay.

Thank you. I will do my best.

Congratulations.

Goodness, suspects never admit to what they did.

Not a single one of them.

Later on, all of them turn out to be the culprits.

-Sir. -Yes.

Ms. Young's probation is over as of today.

Has it already been six months?

Goodness, time does fly.

Congratulations.

Prosecutor Young.

It's thanks to all of you.

Request a DNA analysis and register it as evidence.

I guess this will be the last time.

Call them and get the suspect's social security number.

Please track his bank accounts.

The last time?

She's been appointed as a prosecutor for a criminal trial.

Really?

Congratulations.

The first case is very important. What did you get?

I have been told not to worry about economic or political offenders

and start with the criminal cases that came in today.

What? Then you will start with that guy who was just here.

Shall I write a report first?

No, you can't.

Pardon?

Do not touch that case.

-I'm stepping out. -Okay.

Mr. Hwang.

Mr. Hwang, why can't I work on it?

You just can't.

Don't you trust me?

No.

What's wrong? Is it because of the murder from earlier today?

I heard a man named Moo-sung Park or whatever died.

I have told you before.

You ended up with the fussiest mentor.

He's so greedy too.

He won't let you handle the case, right?

I actually haven't heard anything about the case yet.

I guess it's a murder case.

Let's have some tea. Come to my office.

Prosecutor Hwang.

We meet again. I'm Su-chan Kim from Yongsan Police Station.

-Hello. -Just a second.

You did that earlier too. I won't let you do it twice.

Are you here to see me?

Yes. We, police officers, have to write reports too, you know. So...

Please go on.

You chased him. How did you know he would be a suspect?

I saw a technician, who was supposed to

repair the victim's TV, running away near the scene.

Then,

how did you know that he was supposed to come to fix the victim's TV?

I saw that the victim, an unemployed man in his 50s,

was reading a book he found in his son's room and thought he must have been bored.

I tried turning on the TV just in case, and it wasn't working.

Then why did you go there to begin with?

I personally know the victim.

What's your relationship with the victim, Mr. Moo-sung Park?

I said I know him personally.

What was your first impression of him like?

Pardon me? His first impression?

He's dead. Why do you ask?

You can call me if you have additional questions.

-Will you charge the suspect? -I should.

Sure, you should.

The issue is what he will be charged with.

No. He was already dead when I got there.

Who is it?

You piece of...

You stay right there.

What do you think you are doing? You jerk.

Thank you for cooperating with my investigation.

I haven't gone out,

so it's been here the whole time,

but it will just have images of the street.

-You won't find anything. -I see. Thank you.

It will cost me quite a bit to buy a new one.

I will give it back right away. Just a minute, please.

The memory card...

My memory card!

Give me back my memory card! That son of...

Damn it.

Great job today.

Great job.

PROSECUTOR SI-MOK HWANG

CASE REPORT ON MOO-SUNG PARK MURDER

We received a police report on the case, so I took a peek at...

I apologize.

Will you be able to do it?

Yes, please entrust me with it.

How are you going to win?

Will I have to attend the trial myself as well?

Of course, you will have to. Is that even a question?

The evidence is very clear.

The stolen jewelry pieces have been confirmed to be the victim's mother's.

The bloodstain on the sock

also matches the victim's DNA profile.

Any fingerprints on the weapon?

We have only found his mother's fingerprints.

The suspect, Jin-seob Kang, is insisting that he didn't kill the victim.

He said he arrived on the scene after the murder and just stole the jewelry.

He actually received a repair request from the victim.

It obviously doesn't look like it was premeditated.

How will you refute his claim?

Even if he received a repair request,

the fact that he broke into the victim's house must mean

that he had an intention of committing a crime.

Who says he broke in?

According to the victim's mother,

the victim was alone on the scene at the time.

They always kept the door locked because of creditors.

How else do you think he got in?

He insists that the real killer must have let him in on purpose

to frame him for the murder.

That's complete nonsense.

Will you say that in front of the presiding judge?

Can you please not do that with your tongue?

I'm sorry.

Can you think of a counterclaim that can refute everything at one blow?

Conclusive evidence

we can use to prove that the victim was alive at that time.

Will something like that exist though?

It's not like they have security cameras inside the house.

What's that?

Where did you get this?

This does show that he didn't break into the house.

However, this can't serve as evidence that the victim was still

alive at that time.

Why not?

The suspect's claim that the real killer let him in on purpose

to dump everything on him is certainly believable.

You said it's nonsense.

The suspect's attorney will go on about it.

Right.

Have a look at this.

When you are used to being harassed by creditors, the first thing you do

when you hear the doorbell is to peep out.

The suspect

is the killer, then.

COPYING FILES PROCESSING

Mr. Hwang.

Yes, you should get going.

Why? I need it for the trial. It's crucial evidence.

Tomorrow.

You have to give it to me tomorrow.

In 2 minutes and 35 seconds.

But I didn't do it.

I really didn't do it.

How can anyone with a heart kill someone?

I have stolen things, but I would never kill anyone!

Yes, this is the criminal division on the fourth floor.

This is Prosecutor Si-mok Hwang.

I will send a video clip to you now.

Please run an analysis on it.

The analysis must be completed by now. It's the original file, right?

I heard you are prosecuting the Huam-dong case.

It must be stressful to debut with a homicide case.

I know for a fact that I will win the trial.

What's that?

A key piece of evidence that will get the suspect.

I just need to get it on the evidence list.

Eun-soo.

It will be your one and only debut trial, so you need to make it spectacular.

Shall I help you completely outdo and beat his attorney?

The evidence list? Why would you want to list something like this?

You owe me big time for this.

Hey, you should only go there

if you are struggling to catch the culprit and want to try fishing for something.

-Do you want free food or what? -Goodness.

It won't even take five minutes.

Yes, sir.

-Nearer, my God, to thee -Nearer, my God, to thee

-Nearer to thee -Nearer to thee

-Even though it be a cross -Even though it be a cross

-That raises me -That raises me

-Still all my song shall be -Still all my song shall be

-Nearer, my God, to thee -Nearer, my God, to thee

-Nearer, my God, to thee -Nearer, my God, to thee

-Nearer to thee -Nearer to thee

-Amen -Amen

You don't have to get up.

Thank you.

This is my grandson.

I heard you are serving in the military now.

It must be tough.

Yes.

Well, I should get going.

TODAY'S TRIALS, DEFENDANT JIN-SEOB KANG, PROSECUTOR EUN-SOO YOUNG

TODAY'S TRIALS COURTROOM 407

I went to the jewelry store

and collected evidence.

Then I confirmed that the jewelry pieces the suspect stole...

WITNESS STAND

It indeed belonged to the victim's mother.

The fact that he stole something

doesn't mean he killed the victim, right?

But on the scene...

Please answer yes or no.

Does stealing something make you a killer?

-No. -Thank you.

No more questions, Your Honor.

The witness may go back to her seat.

I think we will win.

COUNSEL

PROSECUTOR

-Who is he? -I think he's a prosecutor.

Just remember what I said, okay? Everything is there.

Your Honor, I would like to submit this newly acquired piece of evidence.

We weren't notified of this in advance.

We just finished confirming its validity.

However, it's a very crucial piece of evidence which will have

a profound effect on this case.

Both parties, please come forward.

Throughout the process of the trial,

the defendant has been denying the charges, claiming that he arrived

on the scene after the murder.

Your Honor, please watch this video clip.

It's dashboard camera footage

we obtained last night from a vehicle that was parked nearby.

Last night?

This shows the defendant arriving on the scene on the day of the incident.

Yes, that is me.

While he's waiting for someone

to open the door after pressing the doorbell...

Right here.

Please look here.

-What happened? -What is that?

He was definitely killed.

As you can see here,

the victim was clearly alive

before the defendant entered the scene.

My goodness, he was alive indeed.

In order to check the possibility of a third party's involvement,

we went through 12 hours of footage prior to the estimated time

of the victim's death,

but the defendant

was the only one who was caught on camera entering the scene.

We couldn't submit it in advance as we were still checking it.

I apologize.

Defense counsel, do you have anything to add?

No, no. Please.

-No, Your Honor. -No. I didn't do it.

No, no! That's a total lie.

It's all fake. I didn't do it. Please believe me!

-Please be quiet. -I didn't do it.

I didn't kill him.

That must be fake. Why are you lying?

He was already dead when I got there!

I'm serious. Please believe me.

Your Honor, please tell them. Please.

Jung-eun, I didn't kill him. I didn't do it!

I really didn't do it. Why are you doing this to me?

I did not kill him.

I didn't kill him, Your Honor.

It wasn't me. Why are you all doing this to me?

I did not kill him.

I really didn't kill him, Your Honor.

The defendant is denying clear evidence

and is not showing any interest in reflecting on what he did.

Therefore, I hereby sentence the defendant to 22 years in prison.

Ma'am, did you come alone?

Where is your grandson? Why didn't you come with him?

I'm sorry. Excuse me for a second. Yes.

Yes, it's done.

Where? Another one?

No, it's okay. I will go. Sure.

Goodness.

By any chance...

Are you...

Yes, Si-mok Hwang. That's right, Si-mok.

It's so nice to run into you like this.

Hey, how long has it been?

About 20 years?

At the time, you suddenly...

Look at you. You have become a prosecutor.

Right, you used to get such good grades.

It looks like you work in this field too.

I just work as an office manager at a small firm.

-Mr. Kim. -My apologies.

I have to go.

I'm sorry. I will call you. Let's catch up soon.

Hey, it was really nice running into you.

"Your Honor, I would like to submit this newly acquired piece of evidence."

You were good.

I'm glad I listened to you and brought it out at the end.

That's called a skill.

Storytelling is important even at trials.

What, when and how. How will you make your arguments more impactful?

I will be sure to repay you for your help.

Mr. Hwang.

Are you not capable of giving compliments or what?

Your mentee won her first case.

How dare he walk away when I'm talking?

Goodness, that piece of...

Mr. Seo helped me a lot

saying that the first trial is very important.

I had such firm evidence,

so I only got a little bit of advice from him.

You shouldn't learn those things first.

Isn't winning all that matters?

It's not like I fabricated the evidence, and I won the case anyway.

Anyway.

Jin-seob!

-Jin-seob, my goodness... -Honey, honey!

-Jin-seob, just a second. -Jung-eun. Honey, honey!

-Wait, just a second. -Min-jae, Min-jae!

Let go! Let go of me, please.

-Let him see his baby. -Let go, please.

-Let him see his son just once. -For just a second, please.

-Honey. -Jin-seob, Jin-seob.

Honey. Min-jae.

Daddy is so sorry.

Daddy is so sorry. Daddy is sorry for everything.

-Just a second, please. -Daddy is so sorry. Just a second!

Honey, Min-jae.

-Honey, Min-jae! -What should I do now?

-Min-jae! -Jin-seob!

Jin-seob.

What should I do? What am I supposed to do now, Jin-seob?

Jin-seob.

Jin-seob.

Jin-seob!

I miss him.

He must have been terrified.

It must have been so painful.

I should have stayed by his side.

I want to go with him.

I should have died with him.

Come with me, Si-mok.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE AWARD CLASS TWO, GRADE THREE, SI-MOK HWANG

Let's just...

Mommy, it's all my fault. Please, Mommy.

I will never do that again, Mommy.

I can't do this anymore.

Mommy.

Mommy.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Mommy.

Right.

Was that a friend of yours?

Yes, from middle school.

I see.

CASE REPORT ON MOO-SUNG PARK MURDER

They say that the rich never go flat broke.

She has clearly been holding onto her jewelry.

It will obviously tempt thieves.

Those were the only pieces she had left after selling everything.

How heartbreaking.

Why did you go there that day?

Are you asking me that question just now?

Tell me.

The victim, Moo-sung Park, used all of his connections

in order to avoid bankruptcy.

Soon enough, he realized

that his connections which he built with money vanished along with his money.

He must have been convinced

that he'd be able to rise up again if he could avoid embezzlement charges.

That arrogance is the reason he failed.

How dare he think of us prosecutors as a safety net to fall back on?

Don't you think he had a reason to think that?

What's your conclusion?

This is my conclusion.

A simple robbery murder committed by a third party.

A third party.

It sounds like you think there is a second party involved as well.

Something that could completely ruin someone's life if he revealed it.

Go tell the deputy chief prosecutor.

If I open my mouth, he might get buried alive in a matter of seconds.

Someone was being threatened.

Mr. Park, who failed to reap what he sowed,

threatened someone that he would

disclose all the evidence of the bribes and entertainment he had been providing.

Did you want to destroy that second party?

Is that why you joined hands with Mr. Park?

To oust all of your corrupt colleagues?

I mean, you think you are the only one with integrity.

What's rotten can be cut out.

But the same spot ends up rotting again

no matter how many times we cut it out.

I have been witnessing it every single day for the last eight years.

No organization in this country would be willing

to cut off its right arm with a knife in its left hand.

Only those who were hopeful get hurt.

You are saying that's why Mr. Park died.

The person whom he was threatening hired the ex-convict to kill him.

Si-mok, I'm disappointed.

You used to be pretty bright back in the days.

Breaking a TV at someone's house

and finding a repair technician who is an ex-convict.

That person isn't that clumsy.

Then what would that person do?

Jin-seob Kang's claim that Mr. Park was already dead...

I thought it could be true.

The real killer could be someone else.

After killing Mr. Park,

the killer might have tried to get rid of all the evidence.

He probably went through every nook and cranny in the house,

so the jewelry might have naturally ended up on the floor.

But the person who killed that hypothesis is you.

Yes, that's correct.

Nicely done.

You sure are capable.

You must be upset.

Go get a soothing bowl of soup for yourself.

Thank you.

Mr. Park told me himself.

That he joined hands with you.

He said you are ruthless and heartless,

so I'd better help him with his problem before you do anything.

Si-mok,

don't get the wrong idea.

He didn't trust you.

He wanted to show me.

But you still asked me why I went there that day.

Isn't it because you are curious about how much I know?

The thing Mr. Park threatened you with.

The thing that can bury you alive in a matter of seconds.

What that thing is

and whether I know it or not.

So?

I will go enjoy that bowl of soup.

Is this neighborhood cursed or what?

Goodness, poor thing.

It looks like it happened a while ago.

I feel so bad for Happy, but...

We thought Happy ran away from home, but

look at what happened.

Someone might have killed him because he barked.

What if it was a thief's doing?

A thief?

Is anything missing?

Did anyone get hurt?

I'm not saying we had a thief.

A few months ago...

Do you see that house over there?

Someone died there.

Come to think of it,

I think Happy disappeared that day.

Hold on. Just a minute, please.

Goodness, what kind of scum did this?

This tiny dog couldn't possibly have barked that loudly.

Goodness, we had no idea and just assumed that he ran away.

My poor Happy.

So? Do you want to get it analyzed?

Just in case, you know. I just want to make sure.

Give it to me. I'm on my way to the National Forensic Service now.

It's okay. I will go.

I'm going there anyway, but you can go if you want.

Well, all right.

Please take it to them.

Thank you.

PROSECUTOR SI-MOK HWANG

Yes, please locate Jin-seob Kang's whereabouts immediately.

He cannot be left alone.

This is so unfair.

Being wrongly accused like this is driving me crazy.

I did not kill him.

It's all a lie.

It's nothing but a big fraud.

I'm innocent.

No one else might know the truth, but I do.

I did not kill anyone.

The prosecutor altered the evidence

and turned me into a murderer.

I shouted to the point that my throat bled,

but no one even listened to me

because I have no power, connections or money.

Why do I have to be locked up

for the rest of my life for something I didn't even do?

Why does my son have to become a murderer's child?

I can't even die in peace because of my child who will be

belittled and bullied all his life.

That prosecutor who treated me like a worthless animal.

Inmate 36085!

I would like to report that prosecutor who disgraced and tortured me

through my death.

I plead my innocence through my death.

I...

I did not kill him.

STRANGER

You killed him. You killed Jin-seob!

What made him so convinced?

That wouldn't have been captured if the angle was a little off.

Are you sure you don't want to hear about what I've found out?

Now, it's your turn. What have you found out?

The prosecutors fabricated the evidence, right?

Anyhow, have you found anything yet?

I'll find her soon. Please give me more time.

Do you now realize what you have done?

-Where did you find the bloodstain? -Jin-seob Kang didn't even go there.

Someone else must've left the bloodstain there.

-The culprit is someone else. -Who are you?
