(Remember You)
(Episode 5)
It's me, Cha Ji An.
Hey, you!
Why are you here?
I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't, but I
I really want to investigate.
I have to come to the crime scene, so
I'm sorry.
Cha Ji An.
I'm going file a complaint against you, Myung Woo.
Why would you do that?
Because you sexually harassed me.
Is she a woman?
Team Leader. I think
a woman's front should be different from her back.
Only then she is considered a woman.
Well
There is a sexual harassment complaint center
within the human rights center at the headquarters.
Should I do an interview
about the sexual harassment in the police force?
Do you want me to do that?
That's not sexual harassment. I was just making some comments.
Is that the case?
Then how about this?
Myung Woo, do you know the Code of Hammurabi?
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
It's an ancient Babylonian law famous for its law of retaliation.
That's right. That's it.
All right. So, how should I tease you?
What comments can I make about you?
Myung Woo, let me see your front first.
Stop that!
- I can see your back. - What are you looking at?
My front is the same as my back?
- I told you to stop. - Hey.
Your back is not bad.
Peace and quiet, at last.
I was wrong, but you were wrong too.
If you get caught sneaking into a crime scene
Let's wipe the slate clean.
I'll let you off the hook for the sexual harassment.
Really? A clean slate? Okay!
Don't come here alone again,
especially at night.
It's very dangerous here, Cha Ji An.
Yes, I'm sorry, Team Leader.
They took everything that is useful.
But
Who would have done this?
Could it be Lee Joon Young?
Is he behind this?
In order to frame me?
No.
Or did I accidentally get involved in a murder case?
Then why did he kill Detective Yang?
Besides the physical evidence, there is emotional evidence.
Detective Yang didn't defend himself nor did he attack.
That indicates
A feeling of guilt.
Tarceva.
An anticancer drug.
The dying man's guilt.
Someone I knew died.
And I've lost contact with another one.
When people get old,
they get worried more easily.
Go and meet this man.
And find his son.
I don't know where he hid.
I can't find him anywhere.
Find me
his son.
So the murder did this
out of resentment and indignation.
In other words, revenge.
(Borne Back Ceaselessly Into The Past)
I'm really sorry, Cha Ji An.
I should protect my team member under any circumstances.
As someone who is harboring a suspect and committed theft
I am more apologetic.
No, I am.
No, I really am sorry.
Thank you very much for thinking this way, Cha Ji An.
It's nothing.
I should thank you.
What the heck?
You managed to get away.
Yes.
Remember, you can only stay in this area tonight.
If you come out of this area or come close to me
I've learned martial arts at the police station,
be prepared to get hurt.
Okay.
Outrageous.
This is also part of the evidence.
Turn over.
What are you doing?
You are wounded.
Who said not to come close?
I'm tired, go away.
All right, I will.
Fine.
He doesn't look like a bad guy when he sleeps.
What happened?
You told me not to touch anything,
but it's too messy, I couldn't stand it.
How could you tamper with a woman's stuff?
- Should I put them back? - No.
It looks delicious, can I taste it?
Go wash up, you can have it after you wash up.
Really?
I'll do that now.
- Do that properly. - Okay.
You're not a bad cook at all.
Hyun, I got it on my clothes.
Dry it a bit more.
It's dry already.
Pass me the water.
Don't you have hands and feet?
Get it yourself.
I hope my arms could be longer.
Now you should pay for your food.
What?
I didn't let you eat it for free.
What?
I see everyone is working hard.
Cha Ji An.
- Ji An. - Why are you here on a Sunday?
Are you coming to bother us again?
I'm here to organize my desk.
It could use some organizing indeed.
Right?
Stingy jerk! Darn it!
The desk
Shall we leave, Deputy Chief?
I think you must have mistaken me as your assistant.
But I'm not someone you can treat that way.
I'm a pretty influential man in the art industry in Korea.
An influential man who can't even locate a painter?
Right, I haven't found him yet.
But that doesn't give you the right to treat me as your lackey.
"Buy me some clothes, buy me a phone, send me some cash."
That's blackmail, do you know that?
No matter how much time and money I may have
I'll pay you back later.
I'm a murder suspect now,
so using my card can get me into trouble.
I see.
You killed someone after all.
Where are you going now?
Mokpo? Incheon? Busan? Sokcho?
Excuse me.
Let me off here.
Do you want to get off here?
If you call the police, I'll say you are an accomplice.
This meticulous jerk. What does he take me for?
Darn it.
I am Lee Hyun, the consultant of the Special Task Force.
I'm here to see the autopsy doctor for Detective Yang Jin Seok.
Let me check with the president and get back to you.
I know him.
You said you were something like a doctor.
You said you were something like a police officer.
This way, please.
Is the autopsy for Detective Yang done?
Yes, I was about to report to the Special Task Force.
There is an autopsy request from Dongbu Police Station.
But the body is
Perhaps
Yes, in my judgment,
the murder weapon used is the same one that killed Detective Yang.
I see.
Wait a moment.
The body has turned into composts.
The smell is very strong.
I have a sensitive nose, so I have to use this.
But for you
Call me Lee Hyun.
Yes, it's not necessary for you.
Can you see the wounds here?
The depth
It means the knife is about this long.
The strength used to stab and the angle are the same.
The same strength and angle?
Yes.
And it's a special weapon.
I guess the murderer made it himself.
It's something between an awl and a knife.
Do you know that movie Sharon Stone starred in?
The woman with her legs crossed?
"Basic Instinct".
Sharon Stone used an ice pick in that movie.
Yes, maybe not exactly that,
but the weapon is similar.
So I am almost sure it's the same suspect.
But, the difference
are the number of stabs
and the degree of damage done to the face.
Compared to Detective Yang,
he may have had more resentment towards this other body.
What's the estimated time of death?
I don't know the exact time,
maybe about two weeks ago.
This is his first victim
and Detective Yang is his second.
Unless another body is discovered,
that's probably the case.
I suppose.
What about its identity?
There was a wallet in his clothes.
Jo Hyeok Joo.
I heard he's an ex-convict.
Is that so?
Thank you, I have to leave now.
Buy me a meal when you are cleared of the crime.
No problem.
(Yang Jin Seok)
If the murderer is holding a grudge against the police,
then he must be in Detective Yang's file.
I don't think anyone would kill for an unsolved case.
Exclude those.
Also exclude simple impulsive robberies and murders.
Look for the cases with long investigation processes.
Compared to the cases he supervised after he became the team leader,
the cases where he personally contacted the victim's family
when he was just a police officer have higher probability.
Also exclude prisoners who have been released for a long time.
Yes?
A new body has been discovered.
The name is Jo Hyeok Joo.
I heard that he was an ex-convict,
so you should be able to find his record.
Check if there is anything in common with Detective Yang.
Okay.
What are you doing?
What?
What are you doing?
What's that?
There is another body found
that might have been killed by the same person.
What? Another police officer?
I wonder.
I thought I was caught by Myung Woo.
I was so scared that I almost had a heart arrhythmia.
While I was stealing
Detective Yang's phone records and credit card records,
I felt guilty because I knew it was wrong.
To investigate the case,
I even made Seung Joo spy for me.
I aged 10 years
You did well.
What was that?
Check if this person is released.
What? Okay.
And check if this criminal has any other criminal records.
Okay.
Check if there is an appeal record.
Okay.
Which prison is this person in now?
Did he escape?
Seriously.
Gosh.
If you keep scaring me like this, I'm going to handcuff you.
What are you doing?
I can't see the stars clearly.
The stars?
It's so childish to talk about the stars.
Although it's a bit hazy, you can see the Big Dipper, right?
Yes, I can see it.
Your vision is all right, fortunately.
Right, my vision
Do you think those stars were the Big Dipper in the first place?
Or did someone attached meanings to the seven scattered stars
and connected them together, so they became the Big Dipper?
Good point.
But in different times and regions,
they were interpreted differently.
Babylonians thought the Big Dipper was a horse dragging a carriage.
Arabians thought it was women carrying coffins.
The list isn't exhaustive.
I see.
Cases are like those constellations.
Each dot seemingly has no meaning or connection,
but if you connect them carefully,
then you can see the pattern.
You're right.
So have you seen the pattern yet?
Me?
No.
I have to find just a single one out of all those files.
What about you? Have you seen the pattern?
Not yet.
There are not enough dots.
Goodness.
Have a safe trip home, honey.
My goodness.
- What happened here? - What's wrong?
Goodness.
What's going on?
Don't come near here.
Please go home.
What is it?
It must be something bad.
Hello, this is Cha Ji An.
It's me, Ji An.
Didn't you ask me to notify you if another case occurred?
Another case occurred?
Detective Choi Hyung Woo?
Yes, I know him. He is retired.
Choi Hyung Woo?
(Officer Yang Jin Seok, Sergeant Choi Hyung Woo)
(No prior record)
(Son: Park Dae Young, 10 years old, alive)
(Bank Statement)
Did you hear what I said?
We are getting closer to the murderer.
I need to go somewhere.
Where?
It's a case that happened 15 years ago.
Because the media made a big fuss, you might remember it.
I remember it vaguely.
It happened when I was in middle school,
I think.
There were two victims,
a mom and her daughter.
The murder weapon was found right over there.
The fingerprint on the weapon
Belonged to the father and husband of the victims,
Park Young Chul.
But Park Young Chul claimed he was innocent.
He said
Wake up!
Honey, wake up!
Honey!
Park Young Chul said that was how he got their blood on his clothes
and how he got his fingerprints on the weapon.
Please wake up!
But someone testified that they had an argument the day before that.
Wake up!
Park Young Chul confessed because of the pressure.
He then told the court that he confessed
only because he was abused during the investigation,
but the court didn't accept it.
He is in jail now.
There was a survivor among the family members.
Park Dae Young. At that time, he was 10 years old.
He was at the crime scene when it happened.
A child who survived alone, just like me.
If it was as Park Young Chul said,
that he was innocent and someone else killed his family,
then Park Dae Young
not only lost his family, but also became a murderer's son.
He lived all these years as a murderer's son.
Just like me.
If he was 10 years old back then, he must be 25 by now.
Do you think he is the culprit?
To seek revenge?
Mom.
Hee Young.
There is only one more left.
Seung Joo.
Find Park Young Chul's case in Detective Yang's files.
Try finding out the whereabouts of his son, Park Dae Young.
What are you looking at secretly?
Who is this?
I don't know.
Did Cha Ji An find something when she was investigating alone?
I'm not saying that she doesn't have the ability,
but she doesn't have to investigate alone.
Could it be
Could it be?
Could it be what?
Dave?
David Lee.
So Cha Ji An and our suspect, Lee Hyun are helping each other?
It seems like that to me.
Since we didn't get authorization beforehand,
we want to meet him as a regular visitor.
Okay, but Park Young Chul is meeting with his attorney right now.
- His attorney? - Yes.
Looks like it's over.
You are
I didn't expect to see you here.
Are you Park Young Chul's attorney, Attorney Jung?
Not officially.
Do you know how many letters I get from the inmates?
Asking for appeals and to prove their innocence,
I get a drawer full of letters like that.
Although I'm not obliged to do so, I do meet with them occasionally.
Well, I'm not a human rights attorney,
but it's not fun defending the rich all the time.
So what did Park Young Chul ask you to do?
I came to find something out at another person's request today.
What about you two?
What a coincidence to see you in every case.
Coincidence?
I don't believe in coincidences.
"Nothing happens without a reason.
Every creation has its own cause, that's why it is fate."
Leucippus said that.
- Who? - An Ancient Greek philosopher.
- A philosopher? - Democritus' teacher.
Who?
Democritus, the person who advocated atomism
Stop.
I'd better get going.
By the way,
talking about important stuff makes me realize that you look familiar.
Have we met a long time ago?
I don't think so.
What's wrong?
Attorney Jung probably doesn't have
anything special enough for you to remember
or there was no need for you to remember him.
Just like me.
Perhaps.
It might be the opposite.
I might remember the small things instead of the important things.
Did you find his whereabouts?
He disappeared from the last known address for a long time.
He doesn't even have phone records in his name.
How could this be in today's world? Right, Ji An?
Okay, I got it.
They can't locate his whereabouts.
We can find him here.
Shall we do a role play?
Bad police officer.
Good police officer.
Are you aware of Yang Jin Seok and Choi Hyung Woo's death?
News travels fast in here too.
You don't think I hired someone from here
to have them murdered, do you?
Is that why you came?
You came in vain.
I don't have any resentment towards those people.
Why?
What do you mean why?
I have no reason to.
You've filed an endless amount of retrial requests
and proclaimed your innocence.
That's because
I don't like the life in prison.
Actually,
I did it.
You didn't.
I killed them.
Really?
Yes, really.
I really did kill them. Satisfied?
I see.
Murderers often enjoy looking at the crime scene photos.
They look at them again and again to recall every detail,
reliving the excitement of that moment.
Is that right?
What would you like to see first?
Your wife?
Your daughter?
Let's start with your wife.
You can't even look at it.
Honey!
You talked about killing them as if it was an honorable thing.
But why can't you even look at the pictures directly?
At the time of the crime, she was eight years old, right?
What do you want?
I told you I killed them!
Do you want me to kill you?
Where is your son?
I don't know.
Where is he?
I said I don't know.
Did you instruct your son to do it?
"I was wronged. Avenge me."
"Kill for me."
"Be in the same situation I am in."
"You should live to atone for your sin!"
"Atone for your sin."
I
I
You finish it up.
First, please sit down.
Can I tell you something?
Well
What I want to say is that I'm also the child of a criminal.
Your son Park Dae Young and I are in a similar situation.
I
I was the daughter of a prison guard.
Prisoner Lee has escaped from prison.
The guards who were escorting the prisoner are also missing.
This is reporter Jo Gyu Yeong.
The police found that the guards who were to send Lee
to the hospital after he attempted to commit suicide
disappeared with the prison vehicle.
They might be accomplices
No, my dad isn't an accomplice of the murderer.
My dad became an accomplice to Lee Joon Young's escape.
What happened?
He never came home.
She's here.
She is the daughter of the murderer.
How could they still live here? They should move away.
It's too scary! How can we live in the same neighborhood?
- Rock, paper, scissors. - Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Rock, paper, scissors.
That's for you, idiot.
- Serves you right, idiot. - Idiot.
I became a criminal's daughter.
But I know.
My dad wasn't Lee Joon Young's accomplice.
But,
just because I believe in my dad,
just because I believe
he will return someday because I am waiting for him
The days I lived
while being treated as a criminal's daughter
when I was a child
were not easy.
So I want to help him.
Even now, I want to stop Park Dae Young.
You want to see that more than anybody, don't you?
I got the address.
You don't think that way, right?
You don't think that Park Young Chul has suborned his son.
You were just playing the bad police officer.
He said he tried to stop him,
but he couldn't.
Let's go.
Gwanak-gu, Nanyang, 7-dong, Room 402.
Okay.
That is Park Young Chul's permanent address.
Is the house still there?
Who knew he was still living there.
- Good! Where is the team leader? - He has constipation.
It has been 20 minutes since he went to the restroom.
I'll tell Team Leader Kang, so hurry up and move out.
- Yes. - Yes.
Is anyone home?
Park Dae Young, you have a package.
Let's go in.
He is not here.
He is not in here either.
Where did he go?
Did the bastard really run away?
This.
I think he really is the culprit.
What is this?
Isn't he the chief prosecutor
of the Criminal Investigation Department?
Chief Prosecutor Shin Jang Ho?
Yes.
We need the address of Chief Prosecutor Shin Jang Ho.
It's urgent.
- Let's leave now. - Okay.
If he went to the prosecutor, we'd be too late no matter what.
Call the team leader. He could be closer than we are.
- Okay. - Yes. I got the address.
Let's go.
Why are you here? You have already betrayed us.
Did you find something?
He is about to commit his fourth murder. He must be there.
Ji An, come with us.
I'm coming too.
Hey, you
I could be of help.
Let me go too. Myung Woo!
Gosh, whatever!
Hey, Dave, you!
I should have cuffed him.
What a pity. I'm so mad.
- Forget about it. - Smile.
And it is David. David.
Stop waving!
He is into literature.
It’s hot.
Who are you?
I'm Kang Eun Hyuk, leader of Special Criminal Force.
Drop the weapon.
I'd appreciate it if you'd come with me.
Where is Shin Jang Ho? Where is he?
Don't do this.
Are you okay?
Come on.
I really wanted to settle this peacefully.
Hey, you came.
When did you learn to do that?
I did two years of boxing and one year of kung fu.
Not bad, right?
It's like I've been preparing just for this day.
And I have long limbs, so that's an advantage.
Team Leader!
"So we beat on, boats against the current,
but we're borne back ceaselessly
into the past."
Mom.
Dad.
It would have been better if we could catch him earlier,
but it was not an easy case.
You did well in all kinds of situations.
Well done, everyone.
Well done.
Thank you.
All right.
Excuse me, Deputy Chief.
May I say something?
Go on.
Well, this case
accidentally, Cha Ji An
She did not intentionally
got involved.
Let's not talk about her.
He is right.
If it wasn't for Cha Ji An,
we would not have prevented the fourth murder.
I agree.
Me too, Deputy Chief.
They all do, Deputy Chief.
Then
Everyone, back to work.
Good work! I will persuade the deputy chief.
Go home and relax today.
Okay.
Thank you, Planning Officer.
Good luck!
Should we call Ji An and have a drink?
I agree.
I also agree.
Great, let’s go.
What about Lee Hyun?
Not Dave. Do you want to die?
It's David.
Everyone has worked hard.
I prepared this.
Everyone has worked hard!
Good job.
- Team Leader. - Good job.
Well done.
And for me.
Good job.
- Good job. - Good job.
I'm feeling a bit unsettled.
It has been a long time since I felt like this.
What did the chief prosecutor say?
He said he didn't know about it.
If Park Young Chul didn't kill his wife and his daughter,
but Jo Yeuk Joo, who was found at the factory is the real killer,
then the detectives have made a huge mistake.
He just saw the investigation report and prosecuted him.
What a joke.
I saw the record.
Jo Yeuk Joo was a member of the mob
that Prosecutor Shin once investigated.
Detective Yang and Choi had no connection to Jo Yeuk Joo.
To sum it up, the police made investigation errors
and the prosecution protected Jo Hyeok Joo
and made the innocent Park Young Chul a suspect, right?
That's infuriating.
Shouldn't Park Young Chul appeal for his innocence now?
Are you forfeiting the right to appeal?
We learned Park Young Chul's reason for dropping the appeal
two months later.
Park Dae Young confessed to three crimes.
He was put in prison after a quick trial.
And then,
perhaps it was someone's consideration
or because of an invisible power,
the dad and son got to meet.
So we beat on, boats against the current,
but
we're borne back ceaselessly
into the past.
The house Park Dae Young was living in
was the same as the one in the crime scene photos, right?
Yes.
A house that stayed the same as the day his mother and sister died,
the day his family died.
What a life would that be living in a house like that?
It means he is living with the dead.
Exactly.
What a life would that be?
Living with your dead family.
(Remember You)
Then, please take a number.
Number two. Number three.
Number one is waiting for me.
If it was your dad who did it, then was his act good or evil?
Do you know my dad?
I'm pretty good at cooking too.
My knife skills are considerably good as well.
If a murderer has a son,
will that son become a murderer as well?
When you are faced with something you can't handle,
your subconscious tends to suppress your memories.
Does he remember it now?
Someone died.
Please come quickly.
There are bad memories, Hyun.
