Dear Prosecutor Noh Ji Wook...

[Episode 3]

Over the past two months, I learned a lot about the field of law

and you taught me how to build up the courage to fulfill my duties...

Bullshit. If I'm going to lie, I should be more reasonable.

I went way too far.

[Noh Ji Wook sucked today too...]

It's true, he sucks...

He really sucks...

That curse song isn't the right way to get back at your boyfriend.

Ignore him.

Become a better person, and live a nice life.

But... he's pretty cool.

What the heck is this? I must have lost it.

I just called him cool.

What is this? Why can't I remember anything after that?

Why does it stop there?

Gosh, it's hot. It's too hot.

It's hot.

There's always a cause and a result.

Everyone knows that. But the problem is...

It's too hot.

Gosh, this is refreshing.

This is where it started.

At times, we're unable to find out the cause.

Something was clearly going on.

But I have no idea why it happened.

It's just like my situation right now.

Is she sleeping already?

Eun Bong Hee didn't even change her passcode.

No matter what you say, you were waiting for me.

Come on, baby.

My beer, my beer...

This was the result of an unknown cause.

It was a very unlucky and cruel accident.

Eun Bong Hee, let's sort this out.

There was a blackout, but why did you go out...

If you don't get a hold of yourself, things could go very wrong.

If there was an accident, deal with the aftermath. Start if off correctly.

Get a hold of yourself.

Hey!

I'm not a testifier, but the suspect, right?

Hey, I'm just suggesting we talk about what happened.

Yes, Officers.

The culprit is often a close person or the first person found at the scene.

And considering where he was found, and my current state...

- I know I look like the culprit. - So you admit it.

I said it may look like it, but I didn't say it was me.

Okay, please listen to me carefully.

If you falsely accuse someone, the investigation becomes a mess.

The real culprit is out there, and we have to find them

but if you hold on to an innocent person

what happens to the real criminal?

They'll disappear. You'll lose the evidence and witnesses.

Get out of my way!

- So you killed him, huh? - Who are you?

- Are you the last person to talk with-- - Why did you kill him?

Hey, it wasn't me.

Sure, Hee Joon dumped you, but he didn't deserve to be killed.

- I said it wasn't me. - You sang about killing him.

There are other witnesses. Should I call all of them?

Um, it was just talk. I was just kidding around.

Yeah, right.

Bring Hee Joon back to life. Bring him back, you wench!

Please don't do this!

I'll kill her. I'll kill her!

But... it really wasn't me.

It wasn't me, really.

I'll kill you!

No, if I could give one hint to myself in the past

this is what I'd tell her.

Eun Bong Hee, be careful of men. Men will screw up your life.

- Who should I watch out for? - Women.

If women meet the wrong men, or if men meet the wrong women...

their lives can become a complete mess.

But I see one woman who will do that to your life.

There's a woman who will completely screw up your life.

Who's that?

It's only been 17 minutes.

I don't think you're at war with criminals. You're at war with insomnia.

If anyone could help me sleep well...

I would offer them my body and soul.

I heard it happens when your bed is too wide.

If you meet a good girl, you might sleep well.

But I dreamed about the woman I'm not supposed to meet.

- A woman you shouldn't meet? - Yes.

When I was little, there was a monk in our neighborhood.

But he warned me about something.

I forgot about it, but he showed up in my dreams.

What did he say? A woman I'm not supposed to meet...

[Eun Bong Hee] Eun Bong Hee?

Did he tell you to avoid Eun Bong Hee?

Did he know this when you were little?

Why is she calling me so late?

Yeah?

Um, Prosecutor Noh...

What is it? Hurry up and get straight to the point.

I was arrested without a warrant.

An arrest without a warrant? How much did you drink?

I didn't drink.

Then if you didn't drink, did you assault someone?

- No. - Theft?

- No. - Disturbance?

- No. - Then what is it?

I was arrested for murder.

Geez.

What do I do?

- Isn't that Attorney Jang? - Pardon?

He's a district attorney.

Did you say there's a suspect under arrest?

Hey, Eun Bong Hee, you're seriously...

What the hell...

Come here. Hey!

I'll kill you.

I think I did something wrong...

It's not that you did it, but you think you did it?

I realize that something went wrong...

but I don't know what I did wrong.

- Raise your head. - Why?

I want to see your shameless face. Raise your head.

I didn't mean to, but I got into an accident...

so I'll admit I was wrong.

But all I did was go out to get some beer.

And when I came back, this happened.

But I don't even know why it happened.

I can't believe it, and I'm scared.

But you're the only person I can depend on.

- Why? Don't depend on me. - I will.

I will.

You're the only powerful person I know who knows about the law.

- First, take off your clothes. - Pardon?

Wash up.

Your clothes are evidence.

Mr. Bang will give you clothes to change into.

Wash up first.

I finally realized what happened.

Hee Joon died.

Sure, I really liked you once.

Even though you betrayed me...

dumped me, and hurt me...

I never wanted anything bad to happen to you.

But I hope you can rest in peace.

I wish you happiness in the other world.

But, even then...

Why did you have to die in my house?

There are so many other places in this world

so why did you die in my house?

Did you want to screw me over that badly?

What did I do to you, you son of a bitch?

I'm really sorry...

Why did you have to die...

Why did you die?

You shouldn't have died...

At the Judicial Research and Training institute

there was a murder, which shocked the entire nation.

And the victim was the son of a district attorney, which is even more--

The suspect who was arrested couldn't accept her breakup with the victim

and stalked and threatened him--

This is the prosecutor's office.

Pardon?

Right now?

When you get a bad feeling, it's usually right.

If he's the worst prosecutor, it means the lawyers and prisoners hate him.

From the victim's standpoint, he's a bad prosecutor.

Yes, that's right. Prosecutor Noh is the best for this case.

He gets their confessions, and the victims are rarely proven innocent.

Please be fair...

and fight for justice.

This is the worst situation I could have imagined.

- She's getting out! - Take pictures!

- She's coming out! - Take pictures of her!

- Why did you kill him? - Was it planned?

- Do you admit to the murder? - Tell us if you killed him or not!

- Did you kill him because he dumped you? - Please show us your face!

- Let's see your face! - Take off your mask!

- Please tell us! - Take it off!

Hey, take pictures!

I clearly warned you. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

I told you not to show up in front of me as a victim, because...

I'm a merciless prosecutor.

Let's begin.

I am investigating you for a murder case.

You have the right to refuse any statements that aren't in your favor...

Hurry up and get her confession.

If you fail to win this case, you'll be fired.

If that happens, you can't even be a lawyer.

If you're lucky, you'll grow old in some distant countryside office.

Do you acknowledge that all the arrows are pointing at you?

Eun Bong Hee, this is the convenience store part-timer's statement.

He remembers that a customer came that night, but he doesn't remember them.

- He doesn't remember you. - Excuse me...

I can't hear you.

That night, there was a blackout, and the CCTV cameras were broken

so that means there's no evidence that you left your house that night.

Are you still unable to hear me?

- To be more exact, I can't see. - What?

I can't wear my contact lenses, and that damned reporter...

A reporter broke my glasses, so I can't see right now.

But strangely, if I can't see, I can't hear very well either.

Because I can't see your face.

I don't know how you feel or what you're thinking.

So?

I understand your situation very well.

And I know that he cheated on you.

So I know very well how you felt that night.

- That's why-- - I'm not convinced.

This isn't the first time I've seen you interrogate someone.

It's conciliation by giving them candy and comforting them.

Besides that of the police officers who arrived at the scene

there was no other DNA found.

The only DNA we found was yours and Jang Hee Joon's.

- Are you still going to deny it? - I'm still not convinced.

I know, right?

Anyhow, you'll be prosecuted. There's enough proof, no alibi

and it happened at your house without a single witness.

But it wasn't me.

- It doesn't matter. - Pardon?

It doesn't matter if you did it or not. Eun Bong Hee, you'll be harshly punished.

Because I don't want my life to get screwed over.

Prosecutor Noh, you believe me, right? I believe that you believe me.

I believe you're on my side, and you're my only hope.

In your future, I see one woman like that.

If you meet her, she'll completely screw up your life.

- I lost to him. - Pardon?

I lost to that phony monk. I want to believe him because of you.

Who's the woman?

You'll know when you meet her.

- You'll realize that it's her. - He said I'd know when I met her.

I realize it now.

It's...

you, Eun Bong Hee.

- I've seen her somewhere. - I saw her in real life.

Wow, it's unbelievable. She looks totally intimidating.

- Really? - Yes, I'm not kidding.

Anyway, I wonder if she became a lawyer.

How could she become a lawyer when the victim is the district attorney's son?

- That wouldn't be right. - A public defender, right?

Even among all public defenders, she'll probably get the worst one.

What?

- Ji Wook... - Did something happen? What is it?

He's calling me.

So?

Ji Wook is calling me. Do you know how long it's been?

Hello?

Hey, Ji Wook.

Then, please do that for me. Thanks.

You even called Lawyer Ji, whom you hate so much.

I feel like... I feel like...

bugs are crawling all over me.

Let's go.

Gosh, good thing you didn't throw these out. Where did you find them?

It's not like they have legs. They weren't hard to find.

Maybe I should have bought you prettier ones.

I'm only wearing these temporarily anyway. Don't waste money.

Of course. You'll be out in no time.

Gosh, these glasses are bringing back old memories.

My daughter studied so hard in school...

And my mom struggled a lot to support me.

Don't worry about me, okay?

This isn't the first time. When your father...

Is the food okay?

It's hard massaging people all day, isn't it?

It's not hard. This is how everyone lives.

Those patches aren't even that expensive. Why do you cut them into small pieces?

Hey, I get more use out of them if I do this. I can't be wasteful.

By the way, are your cellmates all right?

Are there any thugs?

Mom, I'm the top dog in my cell.

- You are? - Yeah.

I'm the only one convicted of murder.

Everyone else is in there for theft and scams

but I'm in there for murder. They're scared of me.

- That's good. - Time's up.

Why does the time go by so quickly?

Mom, you don't have to come tomorrow, okay?

Don't worry about me, and keep your head up.

- Daughter, you can do this. - I can do this.

I'll go now. Get home safely.

Go. Go, go.

Why isn't she here yet?

Oh my goodness, what do we do?

Are you all right?

You hit me again.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so smart, I can afford to lose some brain cells.

I see.

I became your attorney...

so we can cancel the request for a public defender.

I'm sorry.

What's wrong?

It's your glasses.

I'm not saying they look funny...

but I think they make you look less intimidating

so I think it's a really good strategy.

- Thank you. - No, thank you.

Why are you thankful?

- Ji Wook spoke to me thanks to you. - Pardon?

What's your relationship with Ji Wook?

He was my guidance prosecutor, and now he's my investigation prosecutor.

That's not what I meant. Anything else?

Lawyer Ji, don't you have any questions for me?

I do.

- Did you kill Jang Hee Joon? - No.

Then that's all I need to know.

Wow, the CCTV cameras are broken...

And they're doing construction, so a lot of houses are empty.

There was a blackout that night, too.

I don't like saying this, but it was the perfect night for a murder.

I'm not too sure about that.

How should I say this? This looks like a place where Eun Bong Hee would live.

- What about the weapon? - I'm on it, but no word yet.

Then what about anywhere else?

I called all the police stations in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.

13 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters wide. I asked them to let us know.

- Yes, good job. - Right?

But why are you doing all this?

I'm just considering all the possibilities.

It's possible that the culprit is elsewhere, although it's very unlikely.

It'd be nice if it were true though.

It was around 12:30 a.m.

I felt hot all of a sudden, so I opened the windows.

But I took my glasses off, so I didn't see anything.

It just felt refreshing.

If she saw something...

but she just wasn't aware...

So the witness...

No way.

Mr. Bong, did you check all of the incidents that occurred around that time?

Of course.

I looked into every crime from around that time...

but I couldn't find anything.

Look into what the apartment residents were doing at that time, just in case.

Sure.

Whoever it was, they stabbed him from outside.

Geez, I think I've seen her before.

She looks way too common.

But if feels weird.

I feel like I'm spying on her because it's someone we know.

[Noh Jin Wook sucked today...]

- What is it? - Nothing.

A handshake? Let's work hard!

[Noh Jin Wook sucked today...]

By looking at this...

It looks like she wanted to get rid of you, not Jang Hee Joon.

Hello?

Yes, it's me.

Go ahead.

Yes.

They found the weapon.

Seven kilometers away from here, a resident found it and turned it in.

What is this?

It's the same size as the knife that killed Jang Hee Joon.

I bet it looks just like this.

I bet it looks just like this.

Why hasn't she been prosecuted yet?

I need to investigate further.

We don't have the weapon or any witnesses.

And she hasn't confessed yet.

The weapon?

I think you'll find it soon.

If something needs to appear, it will.

As we both know, the important thing is that Eun Bong Hee is the culprit.

Am I wrong?

Didn't they thoroughly search the house?

Many times.

We flipped this house upside down looking for the weapon.

But that mysterious weapon is now in my hands.

And there might be two of them.

Then, what's the other...

I don't know what's going on.

Let's go to the forensic center.

Please check if these weapons have Jang Hee Joon's blood of them.

- And it's top secret. - It's top secret?

Yeah.

The knife that was found at the scene of the crime isn't top secret.

But this...

The knife that was found outside is top secret.

Lawyer Ji, what's your IQ?

143. It's high, isn't it?

Yes.

- Aren't you going to ask me? - Pardon?

People usually go back and forth. If I say hello, you say hello.

Oh.

My IQ is 143. What's your IQ?

101.

I passed the bar with an IQ of 101.

And I used to be an athlete on top of that.

Do you know how hard I had to work to pass the bar?

I was conflicted every single day.

I thought I was better off working and contributing to my family.

I didn't have the confidence to pass.

But it was even harder seeing my mom work hard to support me.

That's how I got here.

But all that time and effort...

is about to disappear.

So please don't think of this as a joke.

And don't think of this as charity work for the pitiful either.

My life is on the line...

and my family is at risk.

[Episode 4] Did we really have to meet in person?

- Ji Wook. - Did you meet Eun Bong Hee?

I did.

By the way, the reason I asked you to be her lawyer...

was because she didn't get the chance to exercise her rights to a lawyer.

I know. I'm sure no one wants the job.

- I'm only doing it for you. - Do you have to rub it in?

I'm going to do my best to defend Eun Bong Hee.

- I won't stop you. - I'm telling you I'm going to win.

- Let's see if you win or not. - Are you trying to win?

Are you trying to punish her?

No prosecutor wants to lose.

I see.

- I'll get going, then. - Hey, wait. Ji Wook!

Ji Wook! Hey, wait a minute. Hey, where are you going?

Hey, did you forget how much I hate seeing your face?

- Can't you forgive me? - Of course not.

Then I'll beg for your forgiveness.

I can't give up on you. You're the most precious to me.

Hey, I'll see you at court right? I'll see you again.

Ji Wook, see you again! Ji Wook, I love you!

This is so annoying.

Hey, Eun Bong Hee, I had to talk to someone I hate because of you!

Did I do something wrong again--

Everything you do is wrong!

I don't know what it is, but if I made another mistake--

All you do is make mistakes! You're a mistake!

What?

Any progress?

No, we were deciding what to eat.

Really? What did you decide on?

Black bean noodles.

Black bean noodles?

If you find Jang Hee Joon's blood on both weapons...

Then?

That would mean...

Eun Bong Hee isn't the culprit.

This will probably be your last interrogation as a suspect.

I mean, you'll be a defendant soon.

I believe in you.

I know you believe me.

I believe in you.

Because that's the only thing I can do right now.

I don't know if I can do this.

The defendant, Eun Bong Hee, felt angry at her ex-boyfriend

and planned a murder.

On May 11th, 2015, she lured the victim, Jang Hee Joon to her apartment

and cruelly murdered him with a knife.

As such, following Article 250, I am accusing her of murder.

Counsel, do you accept this accusation?

No, I disapprove.

The defendant, Eun Bong Hee, is innocent.

Did you say you witnessed the defendant threatening to kill Jang Hee Joon?

Yes, I saw and heard it myself.

I heard it many times, and many other students witnessed it too.

That son of a bitch! I was going to dump you first!

I will kill you, Jang Hee Joon.

- It's good. - Yeah.

"I'm going to die of hunger. I'm so sad I could die."

People say these things quite often.

But do you think they all died?

Don't you think what the defendant said was similar to that?

Eun Bong Hee said it with a motive.

It wasn't a joke or something she said without meaning it.

I believe Eun Bong Hee became a latent murderer as soon as she said it.

Na Ji Hye, a witness told me you said something like that as well.

Pardon?

I'll kill her. I'll kill her!

Oh, but...

Did you have a motive? It wasn't a joke, right?

Does that mean you're a latent murderer too?

She sang a strange song about a curse or a grudge.

I heard her singing it quite often.

- Can you give us an example? - Right now?

I'll try it. Five, six, seven, eight.

Look at me, as I put a curse on you...

Don't forget it, because I'll kill you.

Witness, after Eun Bong Hee and Jang Hee Joon broke up

you asked the defendant out on a date.

But that was just a joke.

Bong Hee, do you want me to date you?

I see that you asked her out multiple times

but she rejected you?

Yes, that's true...

If you thought Eun Bong Hee could kill someone, would you have asked her out?

Witness, are you saying this because you have a grudge against her

- for rejecting you? - No.

Can I make a protective custody request?

It's true that I said I wanted to get rid of the victim

and that I wanted to put a curse on him.

But I only said those things on impulse due to how I felt at the time.

I had no intention to kill him.

If I really had plans to kill him

I wouldn't have gone around talking about it.

People don't always do what they say.

To be honest, I'm sure everyone

has thought about wanting to kill their boyfriend or husband at least once.

Is it just me?

[Isn't it understandable?]

[She murdered her boyfriend on impulse.] [What a shameless defendant.]

This afternoon, Eun Bong Hee's murder trial took place.

Why is everyone going crazy about it?

"Everyone thinks about wanting to kill their boyfriend or husband."

She said something a psychopath would say.

She's so shameless!

To all the men out there, be careful of your girlfriends and wives.

Did you get the results?

Yeah, here are the results you were waiting for.

[Genetic Test Results]

How do you feel right now? Please tell us!

How do you feel?

[Court is in session.]

Your honor, I would like to submit a piece of evidence.

It's hard to understand this action after the defendant's testimony.

This weapon was found in the defendant's house on May 15th, 2015.

This weapon...

was checked to see if it was the weapon that stabbed Jang Hee Joon

but I received the results yesterday

so I couldn't submit it earlier. Please understand.

Your honor, the records tell us that the scene was thoroughly searched.

And the weapon hadn't been found.

So it doesn't make sense that the weapon suddenly appeared.

Please hold off on the evidence.

I'll accept it, but I'd like to listen to the forensic doctor's statement.

Are you saying this knife fits perfectly with Jang Hee Joon's wound?

Yes, if we look at the size of the wound, it's easy to estimate the weapon size

and the weapon that was found fits the description perfectly.

The weapon that couldn't be found all this time suddenly appeared?

Doesn't it sound suspicious?

I know this is very unlikely.

But is there a possibility that the evidence was fabricated?

For example, maybe the blood that was on Jang Hee Joon's clothes

were transferred onto the knife.

I can't say that's an impossible scenario

- but there's no proof-- - So it's possible.

That's all.

Prosecutor, please give your final statement.

Yes.

The defendant, Eun Bong Hee, was at home on May 11, 2015

where she lured the victim, Jang Hee Joon, and killed him.

My father said he lost my older sister to a criminal.

Hey, who allowed you to wear my robe? Take it off.

My father, who became a prosecutor as a result...

wasn't a common political prosecutor or a prosecutor of power...

and fought against criminals in court.

My father was my hero.

My father, who became a victim of a crime, just like my sister...

I wanted to fulfill his dreams in his stead.

I... wanted to be like my father.

I wanted to fight criminals, catch them...

and in the end, I wanted to die as a prosecutor.

However...

As the prosecutor, this is my final sentence.

She planned the crime ahead of time, lied in her statement without regret

and the victim asks for severe punishment, so in conclusion...

following Article 250, this was murder...

so I demand that she is sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Hurry up and get her confession.

If you fail to win this case, you'll be fired.

Don't you believe me?

I believe that you believe me.

And you're my only hope right now.

The prosecutor's conclusion that the defendant killed the victim

was led by little evidence and rational suspicion--

Prosecutor, aren't you aware that the counsel was making his final statement?

- Why are you-- - Your honor.

I have one more piece of evidence to submit.

- Another piece of evidence? - Yes.

The truth is...

there was one more weapon that was found.

The two weapons were found in different places on the same day.

Both weapons had Jang Hee Joon's blood on them.

If you look this way, this is a map of where the weapon was found.

It is seven kilometers away from the scene of the crime.

If we consider the time of the murder and the transportation time

there wasn't enough time for the defendant to kill the victim

and dispose of the weapon.

She would have needed an accomplice to dispose of the weapon.

Unless she's a superhero who can teleport...

it would have been impossible.

But why are you submitting this evidence so late?

I intentionally excluded it.

Prosecuting her was more important than the truth.

Because there are two weapons, that means one was fabricated.

As I submit this evidence...

following article 255...

I will cancel my charge.

I can't understand anything. So what will happen to Bong Hee?

What does this mean? What does this all mean?

The prosecutor dug his own grave

and let the defendant go.

Pardon?

That prosecutor sacrificed himself

and the defendant, Eun Bong Hee, will be freed.

It means she can go home.

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much--

- No need to thank me. - Yes.

- There he is! - He's coming out!

What does it mean to cancel your charge?

- Did you get penalized? - How about a settlement?

- Did you work with the organization? - Please tell us something!

- She's coming out! - Here she comes!

- How do you feel? - I'm sorry, she'll talk later.

- What do you think about this? - I'm sorry.

- Please say something. - Please!

Did you see it coming? Please tell us.

How do you feel?

Is there anything you want to say? Please say something...

Bong Hee, let's go.

It's okay.

- You didn't have to do that. - I know.

Was it because the prosecution would have appealed

even if she was proven innocent?

I'm not sure.

They're not going to appeal?

When the prosecutor cancels his charge, he can't make another one.

At least, not until more evidence is found.

Make it easier to understand.

So...

They have to find decisive evidence that I'm the culprit

in order to arrest me again.

Gosh, what a relief. That's how it should be.

The prosecutor...

made a huge sacrifice for me.

What's your relationship with her to make that kind of sacrifice?

- Fate. - Fate?

[Agreed.]

[Agreed.]

I think your conscience is disappointed.

I didn't think you cared about the truth.

I'm sure you're not as disappointed as I am.

I'm disappointed in myself too.

[Prosecutors' Oath]

[Rules and Moderation, Restraint and Dignity]

See you.

I was hurt by a man and didn't think I could ever trust a man again.

But I ended up liking and trusting another man.

It's that man over there. The man who saved me.

I think we were brought together by fate.

- I also think we're-- - An ill-fated relationship.

So...

I don't want to see you ever again.

Father, I was fired. I'm sorry I couldn't be like you.

Lawyer Noh! You're not a prosecutor anymore!

- Welcome, Noh Ji Wook! - Get lost.

I think I met the real criminal. I'll catch him!

I'll succeed and come back to make it up to you!

I'll come back to you and show you this isn't an ill-fated relationship.
