(Episode 3)
(Sejoong Hospital)
It's epilepsy.
As for the cause, we'll have to run some tests.
But normally, it's impossible to determine the exact cause.
It was just a seizure.
Taking the medications regularly
will reduce the frequency of the seizures.
Yes, chief.
Okay, got it.
We'll check her in.
She doesn't need to be hospitalized.
She can go home when she's stabilized
after the IV drip.
We'd like to check her in.
Her condition does not require hospitalization.
Don't assume
that you know everything about your patients' conditions.
Cause unknown.
Needs in-depth examination, hospitalization required.
Beef tastes best at times like this.
Eat up.
Why does everyone look so uncomfortable?
Are you guys that uncomfortable around me?
No, it's not that. We're just
It's not because of you, sir.
Guys, forget about what happened. Just eat up, okay?
When else will you get to feast on this expensive Korean beef?
Sir.
What is it?
About Lee Dae Chul's case
What now?
Are you still hung up on that case?
Well, this time
I just can't let it go.
Hey, Do Chang. The superintendent
came all the way here to praise you guys for your hard work.
Why must you be such a downer?
- Violent Crimes Unit Two. - Yes, sir.
You idiots.
I honestly cannot be fond of you guys no matter how hard I try.
Do you know why that is?
It's because one of you keeps on being ridiculous.
That idiot is making all of you act like idiots.
Do you realize that?
So you've been after me all this time?
Yes.
But why?
All the truths you were after have come to light.
No, not yet.
There's something I need from you.
I need your statement in order to put Park Gun Ho behind bars.
Forget it. You won't get a statement from me.
I was worried you'd say that,
but things will be easier now that you've caused quite a scene.
I can just take you in when you recover.
For theft, caught red-handed.
You petty jerk.
The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for about a week,
so rest up until then.
I'll arrest you as soon as the doctor says you can be discharged.
(Room 703, Patient Lee E Hye)
Thanks. I'll stop by soon.
Okay. By the way,
what's that girl charged with?
Nothing. No charges.
We're protecting a witness.
I wanted to treat you guys today
to improve your views of me,
but you guys ruined everything, once again.
Keep up with your insolent antics.
We'll see who gets in trouble first.
Kang Do Chang.
This is why you can't get ahead, you idiot.
Look at all the junior officers being promoted.
You don't even have your own team yet, and you still do fieldwork.
Goodness.
Gosh, sir.
- Sir. - Let go.
- Why are you being like this? - I've lost my appetite.
Don't be like this. We'll feel horrible if you leave like this.
Darn it.
You've changed so much since getting the superintendent title.
- What? - I talked some nonsense because
that crazy Park Gun Ho pestered me. Can't you be understanding?
Back in the days, you were understanding even when
the junior officers got irritable while doing fieldwork.
Forget it. Leave if you want to.
We'll have more fun without you. Hey.
Pass the booze around. We'll have fun. Drink up.
Pour me some drinks!
What? You said you were leaving.
Don't be such a downer. Leave already.
Hey.
Are you mad at me?
Don't be ridiculous.
You frustrate me so much.
Why must you be so stubborn?
That's why I keep saying mean things to you.
When you get older, you need to learn to change a little.
Sure, whatever.
I should change, of course.
To survive, that is.
Hey, you guys should change your glasses too.
Let's drink until we drop.
Let me pour you one.
- Hey. - Thank you, sir.
Drink up.
Oh, boy.
Hey.
My dear Bong Sik!
You guys! The biggest idiots
at Seobu Police Station.
- Gosh. - Hey, guys.
You know that I really love you guys, right?
Yes, sir!
Good.
Kang Do Chang at Seobu Police Station's Violent Crimes Unit Two!
You punk.
He's the best one out of all the cops I've seen in my life.
Seriously, he really is the best.
- You know that? - Yes, sir.
What do you even know? You fools.
All right, I'm off.
- Get home safely, sir! - Get home safely, sir!
Bong Sik, you and the guys should drink until you drop.
All the drinks are on me, so don't you worry about that.
Thank you, sir.
- Get home safely, sir. - All right.
Please take good care of him!
- Bye. - Get home safely, sir.
- Get home safely, sir. - Get home safely, sir.
Hey, you guys need to learn from the superintendent.
Listen, Do Chang.
Superintendent Moon is all talk.
I like you 100 times more.
- Gosh, you punk. - What's with you?
No one loves Do Chang more than I do.
- I love you! - Gosh, cut it out!
Do Chang, I don't care about the superintendent.
I want to be a detective like you.
Goodness gracious.
This is why others call you idiots, you fools.
Hey, what took you so long? We called you hours ago.
The superintendent already left.
I'm sorry. Things took longer than I thought.
My gosh, isn't Detective Oh Ji Hyuk so cool?
"You guys can be servile losers."
"I refuse to be servile. I won't bow to anyone."
He's on a whole other level.
You're so full of yourself, you punk!
By the way,
shouldn't we reinvestigate the case?
Hey, didn't you see the superintendent going bonkers?
Still, we need to look into it because we received a report.
Darn it.
Hey, why are you guys in the police force?
To earn a living, right?
If we reinvestigate the case, we'll be finished. For good.
We'll all be doomed.
It was e-mailed to me, so only I saw it.
Just forget about it, guys.
- Do Chang. - Hey.
- You don't want another drink? - No, you guys go ahead.
- Jae Hong, hail a cab for him. - Okay.
I got him. Do Chang, this way.
- This way? - No, this way.
- Bye. - Get home safely!
Guys, let's go get another drink.
Let's go!
Hey, when will the execution take place?
That's so soon.
Is Lee Dae Chul on the list as well?
Yes.
All right. Thank you.
(Handong Courier Office, November 3, 2015, 3:10am)
Death-row convict Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Even though he didn't do anything wrong,
he's been condemned as a murderer for the past five years.
Do you know Lee Dae Chul?
I condemned him
when I was the Head of Criminal Department.
He's
innocent.

Don't be disappointed in yourself.
You can't be good at everything.
What was the report about?
Tomorrow just has to be better Than today.
Life is about the present.
Amor.
Gosh. That was the highlight.
Was it sent to your e-mail address?
Just pretend you don't know about it.
It's better for you.
I don't want the Superintendent to get a bad impression of me,
but won't this be hard for you?
What would be hard? Are you talking about me?
Pretending you don't know anything when you do.
Oh Ji Hyuk, haven't you ever felt troubled
after catching a criminal? Didn't you ever feel you were wrong?
If you worry about it every time that happens,
not a single detective in this world
will be able to sleep at night. Do you get it?
You're right.
Are you not able to sleep at night?
Why wouldn't I be able to sleep at night?
No matter how hard we struggle with this,
it won't go anywhere if our superiors put a stop to it.
We'll just be wasting our energy.
Then why do it when we know how it will end?
Forget about it if that will put you at ease.
Hey.
I have nothing to feel guilty about.
I just collected evidence
and cuffed him.
The judge makes the judgement.
Why do detectives have to be responsible for the verdict?
No one will blame you
for turning a blind eye on this case.
You don't have to come up with a long statement like that.
A statement?
Were you interrogating me?
Rude jerk.
Age is but a number.
What matters is how you feel.
Amor party, amor party.
You're home. Get a good night's sleep.
Don't you worry.
I'll sleep like a baby.
- What are you looking at? - Bye.
Jerk
Oh Ji Hyuk
Gosh, my head hurts.
Eun Hee.
Eun Hee!
Oh, my head hurts.
My head hurts.
Life sucks.
(Watch, Jewellery Wholesale Market)
Yes.
I was the one that put it up for auction.
Who was the previous owner?
I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that.
(Oh Ji Hyuk, National Police Agency)
Are you saying it's stolen?
That can't be right.
I checked the list of stolen goods before taking it.
If it weren't,
how would a police officer be carrying this expensive watch?
I don't know the details of the owner.
I just know she was in her 40s.
You must have spoken to her over the phone.
Please don't tell her I gave you this information.
It isn't a cell phone number.
That's the only number I was contacted from.
It's me, your uncle.
What brings you to call me?
Do you remember the watch your father left me when he died?
Yes.
When you were in high school,
did you take it?
No.
Jung Tae said you stole it from my study back then.
Are you saying Jung Tae lied to me?
All right. Goodbye.
It doesn't make sense
to ignore clear evidence when you have it.
You all heard what Park Gun Ho said to the reporters.
Park Gun Ho was playing us.
How will we trust him?
We have the hunch of detectives.
Didn't you feel something?
He was lying about everything else,
but I felt like he was being sincere when talking about Lee Dae Chul.
- Didn't you think so? - It seemed sincere to me too.
We'd be neglecting our duty if we keep quiet.
As a detective,
I won't allow myself to do that.
I don't believe this.
Gosh, you're all here early.
- Good morning. - I'm dying.
We drank too much because of Superintendent Moon.
I couldn't get a wink of sleep because I felt queasy.
Where is Oh Ji Hyuk?
He left early saying he has something to investigate personally.
Is he a part-timer? He always does as he pleases.
Do Chang.
What are you going to do about Lee Dae Chul's case?
What about it?
- Do what about it? - Yesterday, you said
he's innocent if the evidence from the CCTV is real.
Violent Crimes Unit Two, Woo Bong Sik speaking.
Yes, Prosecutor Yang.
I didn't say I was certain.
- I just said there's a possibility. - I'm not so sure.
Don't detectives investigate when there is a possibility?
We drank quite a lot.
What more is left after all that talk last night?
Yes, of course.
- Tidy it up here. - He just got here.
Do Chang.
It's Prosecutor Yang. He has a question about Park Gun Ho.
Yes, Kang Do Chang speaking.
Park Gun Ho's intention?
I don't know. It must be like what the media is saying,
to prove Lee Dae Chul's innocence.
He probably doesn't have any evidence.
I'm not sure why he said that.
What?
You think Lee Eun Hye is in this with him?
No,
I think she just does as Park Gun Ho tells her to.
What?
Gosh.
I told you I don't know.
How would I know if he's a lunatic or not?
I'm not a doctor or anything like that.
You take care of this since you took him away.
I have no idea!
Hey, hey.
- The jerk keeps ordering me around. - Hello? Prosecutor Yang?
That jerk should be ashamed of his age.
He's rubbing me the wrong way first thing in the morning.
Why won't this turn on?
Seriously?
Are you trying to rub it in? Why you
Come on.
Come on!
This is so annoying.
Death-row convict Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Please help him by requesting a reinvestigation into the case.
I beg you. Please help me.
You know everything.
My dad is a murderer, and I'm a murderer's daughter.
Do you want me to cry?
Do you want me to beg you to forgive my dad, crying?
Or do you want me to die?
Should I bite my tongue and die right here?
Gosh.
Why does nothing go as planned?
You know
they look up to you more than me, right?
It all depends on what you say.
I know you'd rather die than be ashamed,
but can you be ashamed
in front of them just this once?
Especially Shim Dong Wook.
He's only just started.
(Violent Crimes Unit 2)
Well
A friend of mine at Nambu Police Station
recently called me and said he got a promotion.
I'm the only sergeant left in my year.
You all know I'm being evaluated for promotion, right?
Please help me this once.
Let's pretend
nothing happened.
You can badmouth me if you want.
But if you were a sergeant at my age,
you'd do the same thing.
There's no need to complicate things. That's life.
Let's go get some lunch. It's on me.
How about samgyetang? It's been a while.
Let's go.
It's Do Chang's treat.
Ginseng liquor is on me though.
Gosh, that's complimentary.
Fine, I get it.
(Incheon District Prosecutors' Office)
(Unknown number)
(Call)
Hello, who is this?
Park Gun Ho, it's me.
Hi, what's the matter?
You saw me on the news?
Don't worry.
I haven't told anyone what happened between you and me.
What's your intention?
Don't tell me you've forgotten
what you once asked me to do.
You asked me to kill Lee Dae Chul.
You said he's going to die anyway
and you'd pay off my gambling debts.
I know there's someone behind it.
I'd like to meet that person.
Why? What for?
I want to ask for money.
I'm afraid you can't.
I'm sorry, but I'm meeting someone.
I'll give you a call.
I'm outside the Prosecutors' Office.
Should I go back in
and tell the prosecutor
that I have more to say?
All right.
Let me look into it and call you back.
Hello.
I'm Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong from Junghan Daily.
(Jin Seo Gyeong)
Do you have a minute to talk?
The police already announced
that I'm a lunatic.
Can you publish what a lunatic says?
Not all police announcements are true.
Come on.
We're on the same side. Don't be like that.
Be honest with me.
You're here to find something
more provocative than the police announcement, right?
How about this?
"Lee Dae Chul and Park Gun Ho had a special relationship in prison."
"They're both homosexuals."
"That's why Park Gun Ho is claiming Lee Dae Chul's innocence."
Wouldn't that be interesting?
You're positive about Lee Dae Chul's innocence, aren't you?
I could tell that when I saw you outside the police station.
You looked desperate
and sincere.
You must have been extremely frustrated and hopeless.
I have been too.
If you were in the same situation as I have been,
you would have first gone to the National Human Rights Commission.
This person
When it didn't work out,
you would have requested a reinvestigation.
- Please leave. - You can't be here.
I'm sure you submitted a petition to the Blue House too.
You would have met with retrial lawyers as well.
- Can you take a look? - Please
- They would've requested evidence. - I can't.
I have to go. Excuse me.
You must have been frustrated.
All you had was your trust in the person,
not evidence.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for,"
"the evidence of things not seen."
The person who framed Lee Dae Chul will come to see me soon.
I'll get in touch with you.

(Order for Execution of Death Sentence)
Hey, over here!
- Come on. - Here we go.
Let's do this.
- You can do this! - Do better this time.
- I know. - You should have passed.
- Good job. - Nice.
- Hey! - Come on.
Gosh, what's with you?
Lee Dae Chul.
Did you notice?
The correctional officers' attitude suddenly changed.
They wouldn't even look at you in the eye.
I guess it's time
we get
Are you scared?
Are you scared of your own death after killing someone?
I didn't kill anyone.
Neither did I.
I didn't kill anyone. I'm not a murderer like you.
The floor opens,
and you drop
Your neck breaks, and it's over.
But the thing is,
if you're unlucky, your neck won't break.
That means you'll suffocate to death.
Slowly.
What are you doing?
What's wrong? We're just friends.
Leave him alone. Move over there.
In any case, you'll soil your pants all the same, right?
What are you doing? I said, move!
(Incheon Jeil Trust)
Film everything, okay?
Yes, sir.
Let me tell you how it works inside the company first.
The actual emotions
- Hello. - Hello.
- Get up. - What
Hey.
Do you talk behind your own parents too?
- Do you? - I
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
I check all your personal social media accounts.
I even get reports about your mother smearing faeces on the walls
and your wife flirting with other men.
Give it to me.
(Pension savings trust)
Hey, I can send this to you if you want.
Spread it all you want.
But I'll be the one
who posts it on your daughter's social media account.
Seeing her dad being dragged around like a dog like this
It'd break her heart, right?
It'd make her want to kill herself.
- Take this. - I'm sorry.
Hey!
Who do you think pays your daughter's tuition?
I'm the one who pays
for your mother's diapers, you punk!
That's not nice of you.
You should be careful not to fall.
Are you still a detective?
I heard you left the force after getting the inheritance.
Spending money
wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be.
I bought this at an auction recently.
It suits you.
That looks like a nice watch.
You don't remember this?
Oh, that.
How did that end up at an auction?
Wasn't that the watch you stole from my father?
That's right.
You came to see me because of that watch?
This watch
reminded me of our old days.
Back then
I know it was years ago, but why on earth did you do that?
Had you trusted me and followed my lead,
you would've been able to live a comfortable life.
What? Do you think I'm struggling?
You have to chase people. That can't be easy.
It suits me, so it's all good.
I'm glad to hear that it suits you.
I was worried that you'd be antisocial
because of your trauma from your childhood.
I was always worried about you.
Me?
I'm doing great.
I can do whatever I want to do, so I have nothing to complain about.
You see, that's the problem.
You should not be allowed to do whatever you want to do.
Someone has to tame you
because no one knows what you'll do otherwise.
I see that chasing bad guys
has made you develop such twisted views about people.
Perhaps you became like this because, to you,
everyone looks like the murderer who killed your father.
You're right.
That's why I can't fall asleep when I fail to catch those bad guys.
I must always chase them down and put them behind bars.
Of course, you do.
But it must be
exhausting to live like that.
You've got to let loose and have some fun.
How about a drink? It's been a while.
No, I can't. My shift isn't over yet.
I should get going.
Anyhow, feel free to contact me anytime.
We're cousins, you know. We should see each other often.
You'll see me often from now on.
Today is not my day.
Nothing has changed. Darn it.
- Hurry! - Yes, sir!
(February 27, 2019)
- Die! - What on earth are you doing?
Lee Dae Chul. Lee Dae Chul! Are you okay?
What in the world did you do to him?
- Take him to the infirmary now! - Yes, sir.
I will make sure you never suffer unfairly,
so trust me and just tell the truth.
I didn't want to live.
But I couldn't muster up the courage to die either,
so I intentionally attacked Officer Park.
I hit him first.
I asked him to kill me.
I begged him to please kill me.
And you believed Lee Dae Chul's words?
Shouldn't you have looked into it, given the circumstances?
Most death-row convicts don't lie.
You know about what Park Gun Ho did recently, right?
Yes, I saw it in the news.
Why do you think Park Gun Ho went to such lengths
to claim that Lee Dae Chul is innocent?
Working here, even I get confused sometimes.
I mean, he's such a nice guy here.
How did he kill someone so brutally?
You must remember this footage.
Are you getting all riled up? Then come at me, you jerks.
What is it? Is it because Lee Dae Chul only killed two people
whereas I killed 11? You can't come at me because you're scared?
Bring it on, you jerks!
Jo Byeong Gil is convinced
that Lee Dae Chul was attacked by a correctional officer.
Park Gun Ho tried to kill Lee Dae Chul, didn't he?
Like he said, he murdered 11 people.
Do you really think Jo Byeong Gil is sane?
Didn't you say that most death-row convicts don't lie?
Ms. Jin.
I only told you this much because you promised me
that you won't include it in any of your articles.
Please don't put me in a difficult position.
All right. We'll stop here, then.
Thank you for your help.
Hello.
What would you like?
One tall Americano, please.
Sure.
Thank you.
Take a seat.
- Thank you. - No problem.
(Jung Yu Seon, 17-Gil, Eoulim-ro, Jungdong-Gu, Incheon)
- Chief Park. - Yes, sir.
Take better care of the reporters who frequent the station.
Make sure the press room is more comfortable,
and take them out for drinks once in a while.
Also, give them some useful information here and there.
Getting the media on our side
will help us gain more trust from the residents.
Yes, sir. Understood.
- And the Criminal Division. - Yes, sir.
Don't solely focus on solving your cases.
Protecting human rights comes before catching criminals.
You guys don't always have to deliver results.
First, strictly abide by the human rights protection rules.
- Yes, sir. - And
Detective Kang Do Chang.
Yes, sir.
Had the case taken the wrong turn,
it would've left room for misunderstandings.
You did a good job. Thanks to you,
everything went well without any problem.
I didn't even do anything.
Don't be so humble.
You definitely deserve compliments.
You see,
I set two goals for myself when I was appointed
the superintendent of this station.
The first one was
punishing those
who blame others for their wrongdoings no matter what.
And the second one was
appropriately commending those
who did something praiseworthy.
Only then can everyone be motivated to work hard, right?
Right, Detective Kang Do Chang?
- Take it easy. - Thank you, sir.
Kang Do Chang, spare me a moment.
- My gosh. - Look at you.
- What's happening? - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- My goodness. - Finally.
I guess you're finally getting lucky.
It's not easy to snag
such a great opportunity right before the promotion evaluation.
What do you mean?
All those guys in there will be evaluating you.
I gave them enough hints,
so I'm sure they got the message. Right?
Well, sure. Thank you.
I'll let you take some time off. Go on vacation.
No, sir. It's okay.
Your name was brought up by Internal Affairs.
You know that Yoon Sang Mi is picking on you, right?
- Yes. - It's better you're not around.
Just go on vacation.
I'll take care of everything by the time you come back,
so just go fishing somewhere and clear your head.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
You may leave.
Do Chang.
Going overboard is the most dangerous thing you can do now.
Know your bounds.
Right.
I'm on salary after all.
Just take the easy route, please.
The Ministry of Justice has officially issued
the Order for Execution of Death Sentence.
This morning, the director of the Correctional Service
held a special press conference.
The Order for Execution of Death Sentence
for 12 death-row convicts, including Jo Byeong Gil's,
have been delivered to each prison.
Those whose death sentences have been confirmed
include Jo Byeong Gil, who killed 11 people 7 years ago,
Park In Seok, who shocked us by murdering an infant,
and Yoo Jin Yong, who murdered his own father.
Unless there are any special issues, the Ministry of Justice states
the death penalties will be executed as planned.
There's nothing to hear.
It's none of our business.
Also, death-row convicts
are supposed to die. Isn't that right?
Jae Hong, is Lee Dae Chul on the list?
Yes, he is.
Gosh.
You know what?
I was told to go on vacation.
Superintendent Moon told me to go on vacation.
I'm leaving.
Why are you all sitting there?
If you've had lunch,
it's time to go out to the field.
Get up, everyone.
Let's go get a drink.
- What? - What?
Right.
I'm going with you.
I needed a drink too.
Dong Wook,
do you have the e-mail Detective Kang received yesterday?
Keep moving!
Keep going.
Here they come.
Here you go.
One more, one more.
Here you go.
Come on, let's get it over with.
Excuse me.
Do you have a minute?
I just told the other detective about everything.
- A detective? - Yes.
Here comes another batch.
Do you have anywhere to go if you quit this job?
No.
That's why I came back.
Then stay out of this.
I barely got on board and you want me to get off?
Let's go together
until we see the end of this.
Gosh.
Idiot.
Why are you trying to look cool here?
What?
Keep them going.
Are you sure it was Detective Jang Jin Soo
that got the footage from the CCTV 5 years ago?
Yes, he even had Jang Jin Soo's business card.
That means Detective Jang knew Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Why did he hide the truth?
He must have wanted to pin it on Lee Dae Chul.
I know Jang Jin Soo well. He wouldn't do that.
Chief Nam was a partner with Detective Jang back then, right?
- Chief Nam? - If we ask Chief Nam,
wouldn't we get an answer?
If he were to tell us anything,
don't you think he would've told me
five years ago when he handed the case over to me?
Hey, Reporter Jin.
What brings you here?
The e-mail I received must have been sent to you too.
Couldn't it be Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae?
It could be.
Since he was the one that told you Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
He also had the power to collect that information five years ago.
Isn't Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae
the person who was arrested recently?
The person sitting in front of you
is the one who shed light on his corruption and had him arrested.
I met Park Gun Ho this morning.
He was released.
Already? That was fast.
Park Gun Ho was telling what he believes to be the truth.
He really believes Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Don't trust him. It's a lie.
Two people are arguing that Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae and Park Gun Ho.
The one thing they have in common
is they have nothing to gain even if Lee Dae Chul is proved innocent.
Those that are arguing that Lee Dae Chul is guilty will
find themselves highly disadvantaged if Lee Dae Chul is found innocent.
Whom should I trust?
You know Lee Dae Chul is on the list of those being executed, right?
If he is executed despite his innocence,
wouldn't you be tormented by a guilty conscience forever?
Why would we?
We can't do our job if we obsess over useless emotions.
Why are you alone?
Where is he?
He said he'd come earlier
but must have changed his mind.
Do you think he'd want to meet you?
- Who is it? - Can't you just talk to me?
Just tell me how much you want.
Think hard.
All I have to tell the police right now is your name.
In other words, no one will know about him
if you disappear.
You have to show him to me
for your safety.
Only then can I start a negotiation.
He's the real murderer, isn't he?
That's why he wanted me to kill Lee Dae Chul.
I'll try to persuade him.
We all know how crazy you are,
so if I persuade him, he might be scared enough of you to come out.
Darn it!
You aren't going to write about this yet, right?
No, it isn't something I can be rash about.
Good idea.
We aren't sure if Lee Dae Chul is innocent yet.
- Let's be thorough. - Okay.
Whenever you meet anyone related to this case,
make sure to discuss it with us beforehand.
Why would I?
It can interfere with the investigation if you poke around.
- Excuse me? - Why would you put it like that?
What he's trying to say is
You don't have to beat around the bush.
You're trying to tell me not to meddle with the case
since it won't be good for the police if things change, right?
I'm just saying your greed to get an exclusive
by turning the case upside down will interfere with the investigation.
Do you know why Park Gun Ho acted so recklessly
instead of trusting the police?
It's because you only see it from your point of view,
not the wrongly accused victim's.
If you fell for Park Gun Ho's words so easily,
wouldn't you say you saw the case from a reporter's point of view?
Park Gun Ho tried to kill
Lee Dae Chul in prison.
But Lee Dae Chul covered it up for him.
That's when Park Gun Ho saw Lee Dae Chul
for who he really is.
Why are you telling us this now?
Didn't we promise
we'd be honest and help each other?
I still don't fully trust one of you.
Plus, he hates being bothered by reporters.
Hey, did you say something stupid to her again?
- Hello, Jin Seo Gyeong speaking. - I
met him. I took photos of him.
Hello? Is this Mr. Park?
It's you, right?
I can't talk long.
- I'll send you the photos first. - Hello?
Hello?
What's wrong?
What did Park Gun Ho say?
He had told me
he was going to meet the real culprit in Lee Dae Chul's case.
He's going to send me photos of him now.
Didn't he say he'd send them right away?
He won't pick up?
Do Chang, I've tracked Park Gun Ho's phone.
We'll be pretty close to where he made the call soon.
We're less than 1km away from him.
We'll rush to him as soon as he calls us.
I hope he's not playing us again.
Why hasn't he sent the photos yet, by the way?
I guess he can't trust Reporter Jin yet.
Or maybe
he didn't have time to.
Darn it.
Don't even go near the body until Forensics arrive.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
One soju and one Coke, please.
Stop eating.
One lime soda, please.
Detective Kang
ran away, didn't he?
He got cold feet and took off, didn't he?
I slept for only two hours per day
preparing for the police exam.
That's how I became a police officer.
Hey, you're drunk. Stop.
When I joined the police
and met Detective Kang Do Chang,
I felt like my hard work paid off.
I was so happy I became a police officer.
I wanted to be like him
Gosh. I wanted to become a great detective like him.
That was my dream. But
- Seriously. - Come on.
Hey.
- I'm sorry, sir. - That was
Hey!
A homicide detective can't be a crybaby!
It's just that I'm frightened
I'll end up like him.
Are you serious, you punk?
- Hey. - Come on.
- Hey, calm down. - Hey, stop.
Pull yourself together, you punk!
One Coke, please!
- Hey! - That's enough!
That's enough.
Let's call it a day. Stand up.
- I'm sorry. - This is on me.
Don't be ridiculous.
- Hello, Detective Oh. - I have money.
Are you sure it's Park Gun Ho?
Do you see that wound on his left thigh?
It's a stab wound.
That means it was a murder.
Do you also know
who the culprit is?
- The real culprit. - What?
The real culprit in Lee Dae Chul's case.
Gosh, are you kidding me?
Why would you bring that case up?
Do you think I'd kid around in front of a dead person?
(Update on Park Gun Ho's case)
If you'd told us what Park Gun Ho said earlier,
we would've tailed him.
And he wouldn't have died.
Are you trying to say he died because of me?
No.
We would've caught the culprit.
When someone gets murdered,
the only person responsible for it is the murderer.
No one else.
What's going on?
How did those jerks find out?
I had to report to the superintendent.
It's a murder case, after all.
Gosh.
Darn it.
I'm sorry,
but this is our case.
Stay out of this. It's the superintendent's order.
Come on. That's out of line.
We found the body. Cut the nonsense.
- Hey, calm down. - What did you say, you punk?
Gosh, you're getting on my nerves.
You're in charge of Unit One.
We're not under your command.
You don't have the right to tell us what to do.
Let's keep that clear, okay?
I said, stay out of this, you punk.
Gosh, seriously.
What if we don't want to?
- Just stay out of this. - Seriously.
Gosh. Darn it.
What did you say?
Have you completely lost it?
Gosh.
- You little - Gosh.
- What's with you? - What's wrong?
Are you guys out of your minds?
How could you show up at a murder scene drunk?
Gosh.
We drank because of you.
Get out of here right now!
- It's not like that. - Cut it out, you punk!
- Get out! - Gosh.
- That jerk - Stop.
You want a vacation, don't you?
I can't let that jerk
- You hit me! - I said, get out!
- Detective Choi, you - Just get out.
Yes, I do want a vacation.
Keep the scene under close control.
Don't let anyone outside our team in
- without my permission. - Yes, sir.
- Gosh. - Understood?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Get over here.
Reporter Jin.
Reporter Jin, what are you going to do now?
I have to admit that I feel helpless.
I'm also starting to doubt if this is my responsibility.
Maybe it's because I'm hungry. I'll feel better after I eat.
What about you? What's your plan?
I'll catch the culprit.
That's my job.
What about you, Detective Oh?
Should I drop you off at the café from earlier?
Yes, I'd really appreciate it.
Yes.
I see.
Okay. Thank you.
His phone is still around here.
It's not been retrieved yet.
You said it rang, right?
Yes.
Park Gun Ho must have hidden
his phone somewhere without the culprit knowing.
When he called Reporter Jin,
he must have already sensed danger.
Normally, you'd ask for help. But
Park Gun Ho said he'd send a photo first.
To him, revealing the real culprit
came before protecting his life.
Why is he willing to risk his life
to prove that Lee Dae Chul is, in fact, innocent?
(Do Not Enter)
Hey, which floor are we on now?
The fifth floor.
How many more floors are there?
This is a 15-story building.
Oh, boy.
If we turn on the flashlight,
the guys underneath us will know right away, right?
Let's just wait here until the sun comes up.
Hey, relax.
I am relaxed.
Lean your back against the wall.
Don't cross your legs though.
What time is it now?
It's 3am.
Gosh, we still have to kill a few more hours.
Why did you take a leave of absence?
Were you sick of being a detective?
But didn't you say that you think you're cut out for the job?
I got some money.
What?
Did you win the lottery or what?
No, I inherited some money.
How much?
A lot more than what I'd get by winning the lottery.
I knew it. My gosh.
You obviously have something to fall back on.
Then why are you even working?
If I were you, I'd just travel and have fun for the rest of my life.
You have a family, right?
I sure do.
Unlike you, I don't have anyone who'd give me that kind of money.
I just have those people who are waiting for me at home,
like baby birds waiting for food. I'm sick of them.
I have no family.
Without my job as a detective, I'd have
nothing but money. The person, Oh Ji Hyuk, would be gone.
You're too spoiled.
That sounded kind of cool though.
What time is it?
3:02am.
Gosh, only two minutes have passed?
Send these to KCSI
and explain the situation to them in person.
It's a construction site, which means an increased risk of injury.
Without the explanation, they'll go in the wrong direction.
Understood, sir.
Was anything else found at the scene?
No, not really.
But the phone hasn't turned up.
Maybe it was never there, to begin with.
That's nothing important.
I looked into where the phone was last pinged just in case,
and it was near the scene.
But someone asked for a call history report before we did.
- Who? - Oh Ji Hyuk from Unit Two.
Do Chang.
Oh Ji Hyuk, this jerk. He's still not picking up.
Have you guys spotted anyone suspicious?
No, sir.
There isn't anything here. Check upstairs.
Yes, sir.
(Phone)
(Pictures)
The Chief Prosecutor would like to see me again?
Why?
How would I know?
Why don't you meet with him and find out?
(We thank Lee Hyun Wook for his guest appearance.)
(The Good Detective)
Your father will be executed soon.
I'm going to find out
why that keeps bothering me.
- You jerk! - I really didn't kill anyone.
I mean, why would I kill them?
I'm here to see the owner.
You got the wrong person.
Whack him!
I'm with the man in that photo.
Please don't kill me.
Park Gun Ho wanted to tell us
that this is where we must start over.
Once I start, I do not stop
until I put that person behind bars.

It's epilepsy.
As for the cause, we'll have to run some tests.
But normally, it's impossible to determine the exact cause.
It was just a seizure.
Taking the medications regularly
will reduce the frequency of the seizures.
Yes, chief.
Okay, got it.
We'll check her in.
She doesn't need to be hospitalized.
She can go home when she's stabilized
after the IV drip.
We'd like to check her in.
Her condition does not require hospitalization.
Don't assume
that you know everything about your patients' conditions.
Cause unknown.
Needs in-depth examination, hospitalization required.
Beef tastes best at times like this.
Eat up.
Why does everyone look so uncomfortable?
Are you guys that uncomfortable around me?
No, it's not that. We're just
It's not because of you, sir.
Guys, forget about what happened. Just eat up, okay?
When else will you get to feast on this expensive Korean beef?
Sir.
What is it?
About Lee Dae Chul's case
What now?
Are you still hung up on that case?
Well, this time
I just can't let it go.
Hey, Do Chang. The superintendent
came all the way here to praise you guys for your hard work.
Why must you be such a downer?
- Violent Crimes Unit Two. - Yes, sir.
You idiots.
I honestly cannot be fond of you guys no matter how hard I try.
Do you know why that is?
It's because one of you keeps on being ridiculous.
That idiot is making all of you act like idiots.
Do you realize that?
So you've been after me all this time?
Yes.
But why?
All the truths you were after have come to light.
No, not yet.
There's something I need from you.
I need your statement in order to put Park Gun Ho behind bars.
Forget it. You won't get a statement from me.
I was worried you'd say that,
but things will be easier now that you've caused quite a scene.
I can just take you in when you recover.
For theft, caught red-handed.
You petty jerk.
The doctor said you need to be hospitalized for about a week,
so rest up until then.
I'll arrest you as soon as the doctor says you can be discharged.
(Room 703, Patient Lee E Hye)
Thanks. I'll stop by soon.
Okay. By the way,
what's that girl charged with?
Nothing. No charges.
We're protecting a witness.
I wanted to treat you guys today
to improve your views of me,
but you guys ruined everything, once again.
Keep up with your insolent antics.
We'll see who gets in trouble first.
Kang Do Chang.
This is why you can't get ahead, you idiot.
Look at all the junior officers being promoted.
You don't even have your own team yet, and you still do fieldwork.
Goodness.
Gosh, sir.
- Sir. - Let go.
- Why are you being like this? - I've lost my appetite.
Don't be like this. We'll feel horrible if you leave like this.
Darn it.
You've changed so much since getting the superintendent title.
- What? - I talked some nonsense because
that crazy Park Gun Ho pestered me. Can't you be understanding?
Back in the days, you were understanding even when
the junior officers got irritable while doing fieldwork.
Forget it. Leave if you want to.
We'll have more fun without you. Hey.
Pass the booze around. We'll have fun. Drink up.
Pour me some drinks!
What? You said you were leaving.
Don't be such a downer. Leave already.
Hey.
Are you mad at me?
Don't be ridiculous.
You frustrate me so much.
Why must you be so stubborn?
That's why I keep saying mean things to you.
When you get older, you need to learn to change a little.
Sure, whatever.
I should change, of course.
To survive, that is.
Hey, you guys should change your glasses too.
Let's drink until we drop.
Let me pour you one.
- Hey. - Thank you, sir.
Drink up.
Oh, boy.
Hey.
My dear Bong Sik!
You guys! The biggest idiots
at Seobu Police Station.
- Gosh. - Hey, guys.
You know that I really love you guys, right?
Yes, sir!
Good.
Kang Do Chang at Seobu Police Station's Violent Crimes Unit Two!
You punk.
He's the best one out of all the cops I've seen in my life.
Seriously, he really is the best.
- You know that? - Yes, sir.
What do you even know? You fools.
All right, I'm off.
- Get home safely, sir! - Get home safely, sir!
Bong Sik, you and the guys should drink until you drop.
All the drinks are on me, so don't you worry about that.
Thank you, sir.
- Get home safely, sir. - All right.
Please take good care of him!
- Bye. - Get home safely, sir.
- Get home safely, sir. - Get home safely, sir.
Hey, you guys need to learn from the superintendent.
Listen, Do Chang.
Superintendent Moon is all talk.
I like you 100 times more.
- Gosh, you punk. - What's with you?
No one loves Do Chang more than I do.
- I love you! - Gosh, cut it out!
Do Chang, I don't care about the superintendent.
I want to be a detective like you.
Goodness gracious.
This is why others call you idiots, you fools.
Hey, what took you so long? We called you hours ago.
The superintendent already left.
I'm sorry. Things took longer than I thought.
My gosh, isn't Detective Oh Ji Hyuk so cool?
"You guys can be servile losers."
"I refuse to be servile. I won't bow to anyone."
He's on a whole other level.
You're so full of yourself, you punk!
By the way,
shouldn't we reinvestigate the case?
Hey, didn't you see the superintendent going bonkers?
Still, we need to look into it because we received a report.
Darn it.
Hey, why are you guys in the police force?
To earn a living, right?
If we reinvestigate the case, we'll be finished. For good.
We'll all be doomed.
It was e-mailed to me, so only I saw it.
Just forget about it, guys.
- Do Chang. - Hey.
- You don't want another drink? - No, you guys go ahead.
- Jae Hong, hail a cab for him. - Okay.
I got him. Do Chang, this way.
- This way? - No, this way.
- Bye. - Get home safely!
Guys, let's go get another drink.
Let's go!
Hey, when will the execution take place?
That's so soon.
Is Lee Dae Chul on the list as well?
Yes.
All right. Thank you.
(Handong Courier Office, November 3, 2015, 3:10am)
Death-row convict Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Even though he didn't do anything wrong,
he's been condemned as a murderer for the past five years.
Do you know Lee Dae Chul?
I condemned him
when I was the Head of Criminal Department.
He's
innocent.

What was the report about?
Tomorrow just has to be better Than today.
Life is about the present.
Amor.
Gosh. That was the highlight.
Was it sent to your e-mail address?
Just pretend you don't know about it.
It's better for you.
I don't want the Superintendent to get a bad impression of me,
but won't this be hard for you?
What would be hard? Are you talking about me?
Pretending you don't know anything when you do.
Oh Ji Hyuk, haven't you ever felt troubled
after catching a criminal? Didn't you ever feel you were wrong?
If you worry about it every time that happens,
not a single detective in this world
will be able to sleep at night. Do you get it?
You're right.
Are you not able to sleep at night?
Why wouldn't I be able to sleep at night?
No matter how hard we struggle with this,
it won't go anywhere if our superiors put a stop to it.
We'll just be wasting our energy.
Then why do it when we know how it will end?
Forget about it if that will put you at ease.
Hey.
I have nothing to feel guilty about.
I just collected evidence
and cuffed him.
The judge makes the judgement.
Why do detectives have to be responsible for the verdict?
No one will blame you
for turning a blind eye on this case.
You don't have to come up with a long statement like that.
A statement?
Were you interrogating me?
Rude jerk.
Age is but a number.
What matters is how you feel.
Amor party, amor party.
You're home. Get a good night's sleep.
Don't you worry.
I'll sleep like a baby.

Oh, my head hurts.

(Watch, Jewellery Wholesale Market)
Yes.
I was the one that put it up for auction.
Who was the previous owner?
I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that.
(Oh Ji Hyuk, National Police Agency)
Are you saying it's stolen?
That can't be right.
I checked the list of stolen goods before taking it.
If it weren't,
how would a police officer be carrying this expensive watch?
I don't know the details of the owner.
I just know she was in her 40s.
You must have spoken to her over the phone.
Please don't tell her I gave you this information.
It isn't a cell phone number.
That's the only number I was contacted from.
It's me, your uncle.
What brings you to call me?
Do you remember the watch your father left me when he died?
Yes.
When you were in high school,
did you take it?
No.
Jung Tae said you stole it from my study back then.
Are you saying Jung Tae lied to me?
All right. Goodbye.
It doesn't make sense
to ignore clear evidence when you have it.
You all heard what Park Gun Ho said to the reporters.
Park Gun Ho was playing us.
How will we trust him?
We have the hunch of detectives.
Didn't you feel something?
He was lying about everything else,
but I felt like he was being sincere when talking about Lee Dae Chul.
- Didn't you think so? - It seemed sincere to me too.
We'd be neglecting our duty if we keep quiet.
As a detective,
I won't allow myself to do that.
I don't believe this.
Gosh, you're all here early.
- Good morning. - I'm dying.
We drank too much because of Superintendent Moon.
I couldn't get a wink of sleep because I felt queasy.
Where is Oh Ji Hyuk?
He left early saying he has something to investigate personally.
Is he a part-timer? He always does as he pleases.
Do Chang.
What are you going to do about Lee Dae Chul's case?
What about it?
- Do what about it? - Yesterday, you said
he's innocent if the evidence from the CCTV is real.
Violent Crimes Unit Two, Woo Bong Sik speaking.
Yes, Prosecutor Yang.
I didn't say I was certain.
- I just said there's a possibility. - I'm not so sure.
Don't detectives investigate when there is a possibility?
We drank quite a lot.
What more is left after all that talk last night?
Yes, of course.
- Tidy it up here. - He just got here.
Do Chang.
It's Prosecutor Yang. He has a question about Park Gun Ho.
Yes, Kang Do Chang speaking.
Park Gun Ho's intention?
I don't know. It must be like what the media is saying,
to prove Lee Dae Chul's innocence.
He probably doesn't have any evidence.
I'm not sure why he said that.
What?
You think Lee Eun Hye is in this with him?
No,
I think she just does as Park Gun Ho tells her to.
What?
Gosh.
I told you I don't know.
How would I know if he's a lunatic or not?
I'm not a doctor or anything like that.
You take care of this since you took him away.
I have no idea!
Hey, hey.
- The jerk keeps ordering me around. - Hello? Prosecutor Yang?
That jerk should be ashamed of his age.
He's rubbing me the wrong way first thing in the morning.
Why won't this turn on?
Seriously?
Are you trying to rub it in? Why you
Come on.
Come on!
This is so annoying.
Death-row convict Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Please help him by requesting a reinvestigation into the case.
I beg you. Please help me.
You know everything.
My dad is a murderer, and I'm a murderer's daughter.
Do you want me to cry?
Do you want me to beg you to forgive my dad, crying?
Or do you want me to die?
Should I bite my tongue and die right here?
Gosh.
Why does nothing go as planned?
You know
they look up to you more than me, right?
It all depends on what you say.
I know you'd rather die than be ashamed,
but can you be ashamed
in front of them just this once?

nothing happened.

Hello, who is this?
Park Gun Ho, it's me.
Hi, what's the matter?
You saw me on the news?
Don't worry.
I haven't told anyone what happened between you and me.
What's your intention?
Don't tell me you've forgotten
what you once asked me to do.
You asked me to kill Lee Dae Chul.
You said he's going to die anyway
and you'd pay off my gambling debts.
I know there's someone behind it.
I'd like to meet that person.
Why? What for?
I want to ask for money.
I'm afraid you can't.
I'm sorry, but I'm meeting someone.
I'll give you a call.
I'm outside the Prosecutors' Office.
Should I go back in
and tell the prosecutor
that I have more to say?
All right.
Let me look into it and call you back.
Hello.
I'm Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong from Junghan Daily.
(Jin Seo Gyeong)
Do you have a minute to talk?
The police already announced
that I'm a lunatic.
Can you publish what a lunatic says?
Not all police announcements are true.
Come on.
We're on the same side. Don't be like that.
Be honest with me.
You're here to find something
more provocative than the police announcement, right?
How about this?
"Lee Dae Chul and Park Gun Ho had a special relationship in prison."
"They're both homosexuals."
"That's why Park Gun Ho is claiming Lee Dae Chul's innocence."
Wouldn't that be interesting?
You're positive about Lee Dae Chul's innocence, aren't you?
I could tell that when I saw you outside the police station.
You looked desperate
and sincere.
You must have been extremely frustrated and hopeless.
I have been too.
If you were in the same situation as I have been,
you would have first gone to the National Human Rights Commission.
This person
When it didn't work out,
you would have requested a reinvestigation.
- Please leave. - You can't be here.
I'm sure you submitted a petition to the Blue House too.
You would have met with retrial lawyers as well.
- Can you take a look? - Please
- They would've requested evidence. - I can't.
I have to go. Excuse me.
You must have been frustrated.
All you had was your trust in the person,
not evidence.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for,"
"the evidence of things not seen."
The person who framed Lee Dae Chul will come to see me soon.
I'll get in touch with you.

Are you scared?
Are you scared of your own death after killing someone?
I didn't kill anyone.
Neither did I.
I didn't kill anyone. I'm not a murderer like you.
The floor opens,
and you drop
Your neck breaks, and it's over.
But the thing is,
if you're unlucky, your neck won't break.
That means you'll suffocate to death.
Slowly.
What are you doing?
What's wrong? We're just friends.
Leave him alone. Move over there.
In any case, you'll soil your pants all the same, right?
What are you doing? I said, move!
(Incheon Jeil Trust)
Film everything, okay?
Yes, sir.
Let me tell you how it works inside the company first.
The actual emotions
- Hello. - Hello.
- Get up. - What
Hey.
Do you talk behind your own parents too?
- Do you? - I
Did you think I wouldn't find out?
I check all your personal social media accounts.
I even get reports about your mother smearing faeces on the walls
and your wife flirting with other men.
Give it to me.
(Pension savings trust)
Hey, I can send this to you if you want.
Spread it all you want.
But I'll be the one
who posts it on your daughter's social media account.
Seeing her dad being dragged around like a dog like this
It'd break her heart, right?
It'd make her want to kill herself.
- Take this. - I'm sorry.
Hey!
Who do you think pays your daughter's tuition?
I'm the one who pays
for your mother's diapers, you punk!
That's not nice of you.
You should be careful not to fall.
Are you still a detective?
I heard you left the force after getting the inheritance.
Spending money
wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be.
I bought this at an auction recently.
It suits you.
That looks like a nice watch.
You don't remember this?
Oh, that.
How did that end up at an auction?
Wasn't that the watch you stole from my father?
That's right.
You came to see me because of that watch?
This watch
reminded me of our old days.
Back then
I know it was years ago, but why on earth did you do that?
Had you trusted me and followed my lead,
you would've been able to live a comfortable life.
What? Do you think I'm struggling?
You have to chase people. That can't be easy.
It suits me, so it's all good.
I'm glad to hear that it suits you.
I was worried that you'd be antisocial
because of your trauma from your childhood.
I was always worried about you.
Me?
I'm doing great.
I can do whatever I want to do, so I have nothing to complain about.
You see, that's the problem.
You should not be allowed to do whatever you want to do.
Someone has to tame you
because no one knows what you'll do otherwise.
I see that chasing bad guys
has made you develop such twisted views about people.
Perhaps you became like this because, to you,
everyone looks like the murderer who killed your father.
You're right.
That's why I can't fall asleep when I fail to catch those bad guys.
I must always chase them down and put them behind bars.
Of course, you do.
But it must be
exhausting to live like that.
You've got to let loose and have some fun.
How about a drink? It's been a while.
No, I can't. My shift isn't over yet.
I should get going.
Anyhow, feel free to contact me anytime.
We're cousins, you know. We should see each other often.
You'll see me often from now on.
Today is not my day.
Nothing has changed. Darn it.
- Hurry! - Yes, sir!
(February 27, 2019)
- Die! - What on earth are you doing?
Lee Dae Chul. Lee Dae Chul! Are you okay?
What in the world did you do to him?
- Take him to the infirmary now! - Yes, sir.
I will make sure you never suffer unfairly,
so trust me and just tell the truth.
I didn't want to live.
But I couldn't muster up the courage to die either,
so I intentionally attacked Officer Park.
I hit him first.
I asked him to kill me.
I begged him to please kill me.
And you believed Lee Dae Chul's words?
Shouldn't you have looked into it, given the circumstances?
Most death-row convicts don't lie.
You know about what Park Gun Ho did recently, right?
Yes, I saw it in the news.
Why do you think Park Gun Ho went to such lengths
to claim that Lee Dae Chul is innocent?
Working here, even I get confused sometimes.
I mean, he's such a nice guy here.
How did he kill someone so brutally?
You must remember this footage.
Are you getting all riled up? Then come at me, you jerks.
What is it? Is it because Lee Dae Chul only killed two people
whereas I killed 11? You can't come at me because you're scared?
Bring it on, you jerks!
Jo Byeong Gil is convinced
that Lee Dae Chul was attacked by a correctional officer.
Park Gun Ho tried to kill Lee Dae Chul, didn't he?
Like he said, he murdered 11 people.
Do you really think Jo Byeong Gil is sane?
Didn't you say that most death-row convicts don't lie?
Ms. Jin.
I only told you this much because you promised me
that you won't include it in any of your articles.
Please don't put me in a difficult position.
All right. We'll stop here, then.
Thank you for your help.
Hello.
What would you like?
One tall Americano, please.
Sure.
Thank you.
Take a seat.
- Thank you. - No problem.
(Jung Yu Seon, 17-Gil, Eoulim-ro, Jungdong-Gu, Incheon)
- Chief Park. - Yes, sir.
Take better care of the reporters who frequent the station.
Make sure the press room is more comfortable,
and take them out for drinks once in a while.
Also, give them some useful information here and there.
Getting the media on our side
will help us gain more trust from the residents.
Yes, sir. Understood.
- And the Criminal Division. - Yes, sir.
Don't solely focus on solving your cases.
Protecting human rights comes before catching criminals.
You guys don't always have to deliver results.
First, strictly abide by the human rights protection rules.
- Yes, sir. - And
Detective Kang Do Chang.
Yes, sir.
Had the case taken the wrong turn,
it would've left room for misunderstandings.
You did a good job. Thanks to you,
everything went well without any problem.
I didn't even do anything.
Don't be so humble.
You definitely deserve compliments.
You see,
I set two goals for myself when I was appointed
the superintendent of this station.
The first one was
punishing those
who blame others for their wrongdoings no matter what.
And the second one was
appropriately commending those
who did something praiseworthy.
Only then can everyone be motivated to work hard, right?
Right, Detective Kang Do Chang?
- Take it easy. - Thank you, sir.
Kang Do Chang, spare me a moment.
- My gosh. - Look at you.
- What's happening? - Congratulations.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
- My goodness. - Finally.
I guess you're finally getting lucky.
It's not easy to snag
such a great opportunity right before the promotion evaluation.
What do you mean?
All those guys in there will be evaluating you.
I gave them enough hints,
so I'm sure they got the message. Right?
Well, sure. Thank you.
I'll let you take some time off. Go on vacation.
No, sir. It's okay.
Your name was brought up by Internal Affairs.
You know that Yoon Sang Mi is picking on you, right?
- Yes. - It's better you're not around.
Just go on vacation.
I'll take care of everything by the time you come back,
so just go fishing somewhere and clear your head.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
You may leave.
Do Chang.
Going overboard is the most dangerous thing you can do now.
Know your bounds.
Right.
I'm on salary after all.
Just take the easy route, please.
The Ministry of Justice has officially issued
the Order for Execution of Death Sentence.
This morning, the director of the Correctional Service
held a special press conference.
The Order for Execution of Death Sentence
for 12 death-row convicts, including Jo Byeong Gil's,
have been delivered to each prison.
Those whose death sentences have been confirmed
include Jo Byeong Gil, who killed 11 people 7 years ago,
Park In Seok, who shocked us by murdering an infant,
and Yoo Jin Yong, who murdered his own father.
Unless there are any special issues, the Ministry of Justice states
the death penalties will be executed as planned.
There's nothing to hear.
It's none of our business.
Also, death-row convicts
are supposed to die. Isn't that right?
Jae Hong, is Lee Dae Chul on the list?
Yes, he is.
Gosh.
You know what?
I was told to go on vacation.
Superintendent Moon told me to go on vacation.
I'm leaving.
Why are you all sitting there?
If you've had lunch,
it's time to go out to the field.
Get up, everyone.
Let's go get a drink.
- What? - What?
Right.
I'm going with you.
I needed a drink too.
Dong Wook,
do you have the e-mail Detective Kang received yesterday?
Keep moving!
Keep going.
Here they come.
Here you go.
One more, one more.
Here you go.
Come on, let's get it over with.
Excuse me.
Do you have a minute?
I just told the other detective about everything.
- A detective? - Yes.
Here comes another batch.
Do you have anywhere to go if you quit this job?
No.
That's why I came back.
Then stay out of this.
I barely got on board and you want me to get off?
Let's go together
until we see the end of this.
Gosh.
Idiot.
Why are you trying to look cool here?
What?
Keep them going.
Are you sure it was Detective Jang Jin Soo
that got the footage from the CCTV 5 years ago?
Yes, he even had Jang Jin Soo's business card.
That means Detective Jang knew Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Why did he hide the truth?
He must have wanted to pin it on Lee Dae Chul.
I know Jang Jin Soo well. He wouldn't do that.
Chief Nam was a partner with Detective Jang back then, right?
- Chief Nam? - If we ask Chief Nam,
wouldn't we get an answer?
If he were to tell us anything,
don't you think he would've told me
five years ago when he handed the case over to me?
Hey, Reporter Jin.
What brings you here?
The e-mail I received must have been sent to you too.
Couldn't it be Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae?
It could be.
Since he was the one that told you Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
He also had the power to collect that information five years ago.
Isn't Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae
the person who was arrested recently?
The person sitting in front of you
is the one who shed light on his corruption and had him arrested.
I met Park Gun Ho this morning.
He was released.
Already? That was fast.
Park Gun Ho was telling what he believes to be the truth.
He really believes Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Don't trust him. It's a lie.
Two people are arguing that Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae and Park Gun Ho.
The one thing they have in common
is they have nothing to gain even if Lee Dae Chul is proved innocent.
Those that are arguing that Lee Dae Chul is guilty will
find themselves highly disadvantaged if Lee Dae Chul is found innocent.
Whom should I trust?
You know Lee Dae Chul is on the list of those being executed, right?
If he is executed despite his innocence,
wouldn't you be tormented by a guilty conscience forever?
Why would we?
We can't do our job if we obsess over useless emotions.
Why are you alone?
Where is he?
He said he'd come earlier
but must have changed his mind.
Do you think he'd want to meet you?
- Who is it? - Can't you just talk to me?
Just tell me how much you want.
Think hard.
All I have to tell the police right now is your name.
In other words, no one will know about him
if you disappear.
You have to show him to me
for your safety.
Only then can I start a negotiation.
He's the real murderer, isn't he?
That's why he wanted me to kill Lee Dae Chul.
I'll try to persuade him.
We all know how crazy you are,
so if I persuade him, he might be scared enough of you to come out.
Darn it!
You aren't going to write about this yet, right?
No, it isn't something I can be rash about.
Good idea.
We aren't sure if Lee Dae Chul is innocent yet.
- Let's be thorough. - Okay.
Whenever you meet anyone related to this case,
make sure to discuss it with us beforehand.
Why would I?
It can interfere with the investigation if you poke around.
- Excuse me? - Why would you put it like that?
What he's trying to say is
You don't have to beat around the bush.
You're trying to tell me not to meddle with the case
since it won't be good for the police if things change, right?
I'm just saying your greed to get an exclusive
by turning the case upside down will interfere with the investigation.
Do you know why Park Gun Ho acted so recklessly
instead of trusting the police?
It's because you only see it from your point of view,
not the wrongly accused victim's.
If you fell for Park Gun Ho's words so easily,
wouldn't you say you saw the case from a reporter's point of view?
Park Gun Ho tried to kill
Lee Dae Chul in prison.
But Lee Dae Chul covered it up for him.
That's when Park Gun Ho saw Lee Dae Chul
for who he really is.
Why are you telling us this now?
Didn't we promise
we'd be honest and help each other?
I still don't fully trust one of you.
Plus, he hates being bothered by reporters.
Hey, did you say something stupid to her again?
- Hello, Jin Seo Gyeong speaking. - I
met him. I took photos of him.
Hello? Is this Mr. Park?
It's you, right?
I can't talk long.
- I'll send you the photos first. - Hello?
Hello?
What's wrong?
What did Park Gun Ho say?
He had told me
he was going to meet the real culprit in Lee Dae Chul's case.
He's going to send me photos of him now.
Didn't he say he'd send them right away?
He won't pick up?
Do Chang, I've tracked Park Gun Ho's phone.
We'll be pretty close to where he made the call soon.
We're less than 1km away from him.
We'll rush to him as soon as he calls us.
I hope he's not playing us again.
Why hasn't he sent the photos yet, by the way?
I guess he can't trust Reporter Jin yet.
Or maybe
he didn't have time to.
Darn it.
Don't even go near the body until Forensics arrive.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
One soju and one Coke, please.
Stop eating.
One lime soda, please.
Detective Kang
ran away, didn't he?
He got cold feet and took off, didn't he?
I slept for only two hours per day
preparing for the police exam.
That's how I became a police officer.
Hey, you're drunk. Stop.
When I joined the police
and met Detective Kang Do Chang,
I felt like my hard work paid off.
I was so happy I became a police officer.
I wanted to be like him
Gosh. I wanted to become a great detective like him.
That was my dream. But
- Seriously. - Come on.
Hey.
- I'm sorry, sir. - That was
Hey!
A homicide detective can't be a crybaby!
It's just that I'm frightened
I'll end up like him.
Are you serious, you punk?
- Hey. - Come on.
- Hey, calm down. - Hey, stop.
Pull yourself together, you punk!
One Coke, please!
- Hey! - That's enough!
That's enough.
Let's call it a day. Stand up.
- I'm sorry. - This is on me.
Don't be ridiculous.
- Hello, Detective Oh. - I have money.
Are you sure it's Park Gun Ho?
Do you see that wound on his left thigh?
It's a stab wound.
That means it was a murder.
Do you also know
who the culprit is?
- The real culprit. - What?
The real culprit in Lee Dae Chul's case.
Gosh, are you kidding me?
Why would you bring that case up?
Do you think I'd kid around in front of a dead person?
(Update on Park Gun Ho's case)
If you'd told us what Park Gun Ho said earlier,
we would've tailed him.
And he wouldn't have died.
Are you trying to say he died because of me?
No.
We would've caught the culprit.
When someone gets murdered,
the only person responsible for it is the murderer.
No one else.
What's going on?
How did those jerks find out?
I had to report to the superintendent.
It's a murder case, after all.
Gosh.
Darn it.
I'm sorry,
but this is our case.
Stay out of this. It's the superintendent's order.
Come on. That's out of line.
We found the body. Cut the nonsense.
- Hey, calm down. - What did you say, you punk?
Gosh, you're getting on my nerves.
You're in charge of Unit One.
We're not under your command.
You don't have the right to tell us what to do.
Let's keep that clear, okay?
I said, stay out of this, you punk.
Gosh, seriously.
What if we don't want to?
- Just stay out of this. - Seriously.
Gosh. Darn it.
What did you say?
Have you completely lost it?
Gosh.
- You little - Gosh.
- What's with you? - What's wrong?
Are you guys out of your minds?
How could you show up at a murder scene drunk?
Gosh.
We drank because of you.
Get out of here right now!
- It's not like that. - Cut it out, you punk!
- Get out! - Gosh.
- That jerk - Stop.
You want a vacation, don't you?
I can't let that jerk
- You hit me! - I said, get out!
- Detective Choi, you - Just get out.
Yes, I do want a vacation.
Keep the scene under close control.
Don't let anyone outside our team in
- without my permission. - Yes, sir.
- Gosh. - Understood?
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Get over here.
Reporter Jin.
Reporter Jin, what are you going to do now?
I have to admit that I feel helpless.
I'm also starting to doubt if this is my responsibility.
Maybe it's because I'm hungry. I'll feel better after I eat.
What about you? What's your plan?
I'll catch the culprit.
That's my job.
What about you, Detective Oh?
Should I drop you off at the café from earlier?
Yes, I'd really appreciate it.
Yes.
I see.
Okay. Thank you.
His phone is still around here.
It's not been retrieved yet.
You said it rang, right?
Yes.
Park Gun Ho must have hidden
his phone somewhere without the culprit knowing.
When he called Reporter Jin,
he must have already sensed danger.
Normally, you'd ask for help. But
Park Gun Ho said he'd send a photo first.
To him, revealing the real culprit
came before protecting his life.
Why is he willing to risk his life
to prove that Lee Dae Chul is, in fact, innocent?
(Do Not Enter)
Hey, which floor are we on now?
The fifth floor.
How many more floors are there?
This is a 15-story building.
Oh, boy.
If we turn on the flashlight,
the guys underneath us will know right away, right?
Let's just wait here until the sun comes up.
Hey, relax.
I am relaxed.
Lean your back against the wall.
Don't cross your legs though.
What time is it now?
It's 3am.
Gosh, we still have to kill a few more hours.
Why did you take a leave of absence?
Were you sick of being a detective?
But didn't you say that you think you're cut out for the job?
I got some money.
What?
Did you win the lottery or what?
No, I inherited some money.
How much?
A lot more than what I'd get by winning the lottery.
I knew it. My gosh.
You obviously have something to fall back on.
Then why are you even working?
If I were you, I'd just travel and have fun for the rest of my life.
You have a family, right?
I sure do.
Unlike you, I don't have anyone who'd give me that kind of money.
I just have those people who are waiting for me at home,
like baby birds waiting for food. I'm sick of them.
I have no family.
Without my job as a detective, I'd have
nothing but money. The person, Oh Ji Hyuk, would be gone.
You're too spoiled.
That sounded kind of cool though.
What time is it?
3:02am.
Gosh, only two minutes have passed?
Send these to KCSI
and explain the situation to them in person.
It's a construction site, which means an increased risk of injury.
Without the explanation, they'll go in the wrong direction.
Understood, sir.
Was anything else found at the scene?
No, not really.
But the phone hasn't turned up.
Maybe it was never there, to begin with.
That's nothing important.
I looked into where the phone was last pinged just in case,
and it was near the scene.
But someone asked for a call history report before we did.
- Who? - Oh Ji Hyuk from Unit Two.
Do Chang.
Oh Ji Hyuk, this jerk. He's still not picking up.
Have you guys spotted anyone suspicious?
No, sir.
There isn't anything here. Check upstairs.
Yes, sir.
(Phone)
(Pictures)
The Chief Prosecutor would like to see me again?
Why?
How would I know?
Why don't you meet with him and find out?
(We thank Lee Hyun Wook for his guest appearance.)
(The Good Detective)
Your father will be executed soon.
I'm going to find out
why that keeps bothering me.
- You jerk! - I really didn't kill anyone.
I mean, why would I kill them?
I'm here to see the owner.
You got the wrong person.
Whack him!
I'm with the man in that photo.
Please don't kill me.
Park Gun Ho wanted to tell us
that this is where we must start over.
Once I start, I do not stop
until I put that person behind bars.
