The Good Detective (2020) s01e06 Episode Script

(Episode 6)
All eyes will be on you, Mr. Oh.
You should be prepared.
I'm aware. I saw this coming,
but I'm not sure how I should handle it.
Just hold out.
It'll all be over soon.
I won't have to go to court, right?
I'll make sure that won't happen.
I'll be counting on the two of you.
(Junghan Daily)
Darn it. Hey, let's not tail him.
- Why not? - I think he's caught on.
- Gosh. - Darn it.
Call everyone on the team.
Tell them not to leave for the day yet
and return to the office.
I'll be there around 11pm.
Yes.
Okay.
I heard her dad is a death-row convict who killed two people.
So what? It's not like she killed anyone.
Still, I don't like having her here.
How could she have grown up normally under a father like that?
I don't like her eyes either.
You're just prejudiced against her.
She had a rough childhood, that's all.
Did you
do something bad to her?
What? "Something bad"? What are you talking about?
Then why are you being such a do-gooder? It's unlike you.
Because my testosterone levels have been declining. Happy now?
I'm even losing hair because of all the stress you've caused me.
My testosterone levels have drastically dropped,
and I also cry so easily these days.
It's all your fault, you mean wench.
Goodness gracious. What's wrong with him?
Yes.
Do you like the room?
Here.
I just peeled these. Have some.
The bed is a little old.
But it'll be better than the hospital bed.
I think the mattress is still okay.
You can save my dad, right?
My dad never killed anyone.
You know that.
I'll do everything in my power
to help him.
If
my dad gets executed
Then who can I blame?
My dad told me
to just think that he never existed.
But how could I do that?
He brought me into this world and raised me.
He's my dad after all.
And your dad is still alive.
I was the one
who put handcuffs around his wrists,
so I'm the only one
who can undo that.
So you need to talk to me about Lee Dae Chul's case?
Lee Dae Chul
was sentenced to death
for killing a female college student and a detective.
The name of the college student was Yoon Ji Sun.
She was an art student.
She drew someone's portrait around the time of the murder.
And I found some circumstantial evidence
that the person who commissioned the portrait might have killed her.
Who is it?
The president of Incheon Jeil Trust,
Oh Jong Tae.
- And the evidence? - Oh Jong Tae's alibi
was fabricated.
- And? - I've also secured some evidence
that Lee Dae Chul was somewhere else at the time of the murder.
They're both indirect evidence.
They're not admissible.
The investigation and the trial were based on fabricated evidence.
I think it's enough reason to request a retrial.
A retrial?
Do you think it'll be easy?
No, it'll be hard.
If Oh Jong Tae is the real culprit, it'll be very hard.
He's one of the wealthiest men in Incheon.
He'll use all the connections he has in the police force
as well as in the political and legal circles to stop it.
And
the media too.
Someone once told me this.
The most effective way to cover up the truth behind any case is
to make the victim disappear forever.
Someone in the prison attempted to murder Lee Dae Chul.
The attempt failed, of course. But soon after that,
they announced they'll execute death-row convicts after 20 years.
If their ultimate goal is getting rid of Lee Dae Chul
And if the real culprit is behind everything
It's not something ordinary people can do.
But if it was Oh Jong Tae,
it's certainly possible.
I know about Oh Jong Tae.
He's a powerful man.
He's also the one who helped my brother with his election campaign.
He's quite powerful in Incheon, but that's about it.
Only the President
can decide whether or not to execute those on death row.
Do you think
he's powerful enough to influence the President?
If your speculation is right,
Oh Jong Tae isn't the real culprit.
It must be someone much more powerful than Oh Jong Tae.
Yes, Detective Oh.
Right now?
All right.
That's Yoo Jeong Seok, Manager at Junghan Daily.
His brother is
Congressman Yoo Jeong Ryeol.
He is a candidate for the next Minister of Justice.
I won't have to go to court, right?
I'll be counting on the two of you.
So a manager at Junghan Daily
and the next Minister of Justice are backing him up.
Unbelievable.
This is giving me a headache.
Jong Tae showed it to us on purpose.
He's showing off his power
by letting us know whom he hangs out with.
Do Chang.
What are you doing, keeping everyone from going home?
No matter how hard I try to understand, this seems wrong.
Frankly, this case is personal to you, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
- What is wrong with you? - Let go of me.
I'm right, aren't I?
Do Chang.
Just go and catch Joo Dong Pal.
That's our job.
Why are you putting everyone through so much trouble?
Jae Hong.
We chose to be here.
Of course, you chose to be here.
Wake up, you guys.
You're screwed whether this goes well or not.
Look at me.
I'm begging you.
If you have a conscience at all,
please let them go.
Don't ruin their lives too!
- What's with you, Jae Hong? - Gosh.
Top cops?
Just be honest and say you're recruiting a suicide squad.
Darn it.
- Jae Hong. - Darn it.
What is wrong with him today?
Jae Hong is right about everything.
Make your own choices.
- Oh Ji Hyuk. - Yes?
Can you show me the evidence that the CCTV was fabricated?
Yes, sir.
The rest of you go home.
You did a good job.
Why is this so complicated?
It's simple.
We'll get fired if we side with Do Chang.
Fired for what?
We're public servants.
Even if they can't fire us,
they'll send us away to some remote area.
We'll still get our paycheck every month.
We'll never be successful.
We wouldn't have joined Violent Crimes if we were after success.
- You're right about that. - Isn't that Jae Hong?
Where?
Is he thinking of drunk driving?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Do Chang is chasing after Joo Dong Pal.
Think about it.
What good will come out of bringing up the Lee Dae Chul case?
What? Look.
Am I your rat?
Forget about it. Do as you please! Do whatever you want!
Darn it!
Darn it.
Who do you think you are?
Gosh, this is embarrassing.
How did I end up in the gutter like this?
I haven't even paid it off yet.
Seriously.
(Yoon Sang Mi)
You got a call from Yoon Sang Mi.
Yoon Sang Mi from the Civil Petition Division.
I don't believe it.
Let's ask for a retrial
before it's too late.
I think we should since it's a special situation.
But we're tight on time.
It's hard to win a retrial even after years of preparation.
We have no other choice but to give it everything we have.
You heard what Detective Kwon said earlier.
That we're screwed whether this goes well or not.
It's a true fact.
Are you two okay with that?
The worst that could happen to me is to get fired,
but Lee Dae Chul
will die if it goes wrong.
What do you think my choice should be?
Be honest with us.
Yoon Sang Mi has something on you, doesn't she?
Jae Hong, you didn't
What are you trying to say?
Dong Wook,
what are you thinking?
We all heard what he said.
Why would he bring up Do Chang?
Yoon Sang Mi must have asked him to dig dirt on Do Chang.
You punk. Don't you know Jae Hong?
Do you know how much respect he secretly has for Do Chang?
What if Dong Wook is right?
What are you going to do if Dong Wook is right?
What is the matter with you?
What are you saying?
Listen.
Between Do Chang and me,
who do you think
will last on this team longer?
Gosh.
Thank you.
Did you brief your superiors?
About what we're doing?
Yes, I did.
Even the manager that was meeting Oh Jung Tae?
Of course, I did. He's whom I report to.
They looked close.
He must not be happy that we're after Oh Jong Tae.
It won't do you any good
to make your boss unhappy.
You're right,
now that I think about it.
How dare I stand up to him right after transferring to the HQ?
This case even involves the police, the prosecution
and the judiciary.
If I get on their wrong side,
they'd never help me write a single article.
My life as a reporter will come to an end.
Why would I write an article
that will ruin my career?
This is stupid, isn't it?
This is crazy.
Please find out if Kim Gi Tae is
really moving Jo Seong Dae
and if he knew about Oh Jong Tae.
You're hilarious.
I just told you
this is stupid.
- Please find out. - Detective Oh.
Detective Oh!
(Seobu Detention House)
As you told me,
Lee Dae Chul seems to be innocent.
However, there is no hard evidence because it's an old case.
It would be very helpful if someone decided to talk.
Why don't you help me out?
How would I help you?
Jo Seong Dae.
You're close to him. Didn't he tell you?
He must not have told you
that he killed someone named Park Gun Ho and tried to kill me too.
The police are trying to find out who he's working for.
However, I first met Jo Seong Dae
because of you.
- Jo Seong Dae? - Yes, Jo Seong Dae.
Who are you talking about?
You sent him to me.
I remember now.
I asked my nephew to pick you up,
but he must've been busy and sent someone else.
I'll ask my nephew later
who that person is.
- Chief Prosecutor Kim. - I was being genuine
when I said Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Actually, I can't say it was completely genuine.
When my trial begins,
you'll be called as a witness.
I wanted to show that witness
a good side of me.
That's it.
If you found out who the real culprit is,
shouldn't you have told me first?
I need to investigate further.
Who are you investigating?
It isn't the person
you pointed out.
Wasn't he your final target?
If you want,
I can stop now.
Detective Kang,
I've never taken a retrial case
and I'm not sure I can do well.
Not to mention he's about to be executed.
The department of justice won't allow a retrial.
I'm too much of a coward
to take such a big case.
Mr. So.
I arrested Lee Dae Chul.
The cop that arrested a man is
filing for a retrial to prove the culprit's innocence.
At the moment,
I'm going against myself.
It's crazy.
- So why? - This is nothing
as long as I keep quiet.
I know that too, but
if I don't speak up,
no one else will.
A painting is very different from a photo.
It carries emotions.
It is created by a person for another person.
What do you see in me?
Anger.
You look like you're very upset about something.
Anyway, you look somewhat sad.
Do you see that?
- Yes. - Right there.
- There. - This is
I'll let you talk to Mr. So instead.
The thing is
Wait. Can you hold on?
- It's Go Jun Seop. - Okay.
Hello. Oh, how are you? It's So Jae Seop.
Yoon Ji Sun's friend told me.
How many witnesses do we have now?
- Go Jun Seop. - Yoon Ji Sun's friend.
- Yoon Ji Sun's friend. - Yoon Ji Sun's friend.
(Analysed Image 4)
(A close-up of the unidentified object, C)
(Lee Dae Chul's Retrial Documents)
No matter how we put the materials together,
the conclusion doesn't change.
There's no evidence that Oh Jong Tae is the culprit
or that Lee Dae Chul is not the culprit.
Retrials have stricter requirements
than normal trials.
It's not going to be easy.
We have a witness.
Go Jun Seop?
But it's not like he witnessed the murder.
- The police. - The police?
There is no one more trusted by the judges
than the detective in charge of the case.
What if the detective testifies?
Are you telling me to jump in the fire
covered in gasoline?
Gosh. Fine, I'll do it.
Kang Do Chang is preoccupied with chasing Joo Dong Pal now.
It's a feint.
As far as I know,
he's reinvestigating Lee Dae Chul's case.
- Why? - You know how he can be.
Once he sets his mind on something,
he pushes ahead with it at all costs.
But he's changed. He's not like him in the old days.
You do know
I'm inspecting him, right?
He came to me the other day.
"Why did that happen to that person at that specific timing?"
"Back then, I thought it was just a coincidence."
"How come I now feel as though I can see that person's intentions?"
I'll probably have to turn my back on a junior officer I'm close to
so that I, too, can keep personal matters separate from work.
Do you know
what incident he was referring to?
He's talking about the time
when I lost the weapon used in the crime and you retrieved it.
By "keeping personal matters separate from work",
he means that a reinvestigation into Lee Dae Chul's case
will inevitably disclose
what happened between you and me.
If my mistake gets revealed,
it'll damage my career seriously.
In addition, you might also get in trouble
for retrieving the weapon.
What does a police officer usually do
after retiring early?
A case broker?
That's a dirty job.
A private guard?
But that's physically exhausting.
You might be too old for it.
My goodness.
Age doesn't matter.
I'll make a young guy do all the work for me.
- Who? - There's this guy
who pushed me in the fire.
If I'm going to fall,
I'll make sure he falls with me.
(Police)
What is Yoon Sang Mi
doing here
alone at this hour?
Who is she meeting with?
Don't take it. Just hold it for me for a minute.
(Superintendent Moon Sang Beom)
Give it to me.
I'm
running after a culprit.
I can't talk
Hey! Stop right there, you punk!
Stop!
Let's go catch Joo Dong Pal.
It's about time he got caught.
Start the engine.
Who is it?
Yu Na, it's me.
What?
You have no place to sleep again?
Pay me first.
You're crazy.
You ratted me out to the police?
Hey! Stop!
- What? - Hong Doo is going to kill me.
Why?
The cop talked me into
handing over his number.
Eun Hye, please help me.
Where are you?
Do you remember this place? I mean
the empty house I once had a birthday party at.
Hong Doo will find me in no time.
Stay with me
and when he comes, please explain to him.
If I'm here alone, he'll beat me to death.
All this happened while I was trying to help you.
Eun Hye, please.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Where are you going?
Detective Kang said you can't go out at night.
Stay home.
It's not like I'm in prison.
You don't want to come back here, do you?
Let's pretend that you ran away without me knowing.
That will make things easier for both of us.
- Did you guys eat? - Yes.
Let's do this.
Where is Joo Dong Pal now?
He'll be here any minute.
He can't live without women.
He'll visit the woman after having a drink.
If it's that easy, what did you call us over for?
Do you expect me to do all the work myself?
I can't let you guys slack off.
Here he comes. Hide.
Let's go.
What are those punks?
Aren't they from Gwangju?
Darn it.
Joo Dong Pal!
Run! Gosh.
- You punks! - Stop!
- Stop, you punks! - Stop right there!
Gosh.
Stop right there!
- Get him! - Joo Dong Pal!
Out of the way!
- You punks! - Don't push me!
- Out of the way! - Hey!
- Out of the way, you punks! - Stop right there!
- That way! - Get him!
Joo Dong Pal!
- Stop! - Out of the way!
- Get him! - Stop!
Gosh.
Jae Hong!
Jae Hong!
Hey! Ji Hyuk! Jae Hong!
- Ji Hyuk! - Catch him!
- I'm counting on you! - Stop right there!
- Stop, jerk! - Hold it right there!
- Chase him! - You punk!
- Stop right there! - Darn it!
- Hold up! - My gosh!
- Easy there! - Darn it!
- Catch him! - Right now!
- Get back! - Get him!
Darn it!
- Grab him! - Over here!
Darn it!
Gosh!
- Jerk! - Stop running!
Why you little!
- Get out of there! - Darn it!
- Not again! - Come here!
- Get out of there - Come out!
- I got him! - Darn it!
- Don't let him get away! - Darn it!
- Hey! - Stop!
- Hold it right there! - Seriously!
- Let go of me! - Jerk!
- Hey you! - Stop right there!
- I finally got you! - Darn it!
- Darn it! - Let go of me!
- Seriously! - Darn it!
- My gosh! - Seriously, this guy!
Gosh darn it!
Finally!
- I'm exhausted. - I got him.
- I got him! - Look.
- We're all good here. - Look what we did!
- Hold him. - Darn it!
- Jerk! - Seriously!
You guys can go back now.
- All right! - Good job!
- What happened? - Did you get him?
Look at him!
Nice one.
Finally!
You guys came from afar and broke quite a bit of sweat!
Anyway, many thanks
for your cooperation!
Good job, everyone!
- Let's grab a bite. - I'm exhausted.
This is awesome!
- Jae Hong was quite impressive. - Look at him!
What brings you here?
Did you call her?
Can't you see? She is a snitch.
Are you planning something with her?
Answer me!
Stop it!
Hey, the sight of you irritates me.
Get out of here, now.
She's innocent. If you're going to hit her, then hit me.
What a friend you got there!
What a beautiful friendship here!
Hey, you two, drag her over there and take care of her.
She made a scar on my nose,
make sure she sincerely regrets that.
No, please!
Stop it!
Get her out of my sight.
- Darn it. - I told you to stop!
Get her out of here!
- Let go of me! - This is all your fault!
Be quiet!
I told you to stop!
Get her out of here!
- Let go of me! - This is all your fault!
Please, don't! Eun Hye!
Be quiet!
Hey, let go of her.
I told her to let her go, darn it!
Why don't you bring
the four of your thugs?
You will feel lonely if you go in by yourself.
Just bring four of your thugs you're not really close with.
Team one and two, attention!
At ease.
Good job, everyone!
Who caught him and handcuffed him?
Kwon Jae Hong did.
I didn't know Jae Hong was that fast.
He was as fast as lightning! I totally missed it!
He's normally clumsy but
when he sees a criminal,
he turns into Usain Bolt.
Well, it must be innate. He's just born to be a detective.
Why are you all like this all of a sudden?
Hey, there's no need to be modest now.
You know my principle.
I always catch and punish those
who sell out others to cover his own mistakes.
And for those who achieve great things,
I always reward them proportionately.
It's not like I caught him all by myself.
That's right, it's teamwork.
You guys hit the jackpot today.
I can't rely on anyone else but Violent Crimes Unit Two.
- Good job Unit Two! - Good Job!
- Good Job! - Nicely done!
Keep it up.
Hey, isn't she going to die like that?
No worries, she'll wake up sooner or later.
Hey, what are you going to do with me now?
- You're really good at acting - I know, right?
So, are we even now?
Don't act in front of me, you'll get in trouble.
Of course, you don't have to say things like that.
Let's pretend that you ran away without me knowing.
That will make things easier for both of us.
Let's order more!
Let's do a toast.
Cheers to Unit Two!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Did you finish writing the case report?
- Yeah. - Good job, come on in.
Hey, wait up.
This is yours.
Thanks.
Come on, let's go inside.
This is great!
The man of the hour is here!
Welcome!
- Incheon Seobu Police Station! - The best runner!
Kwon Jae Hong!
My beloved child!
- Kwon Jae Hong will now drink! - Hong!
- Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong!
- Hong, Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong, Hong!
- Hong, Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong, Hong!
- Hong! - Here you go.
Have this.
You need food.
Good job.
I'll do it.
- Sit in the middle, Jae Hong. - Sit in the middle, Jae Hong.
He didn't come, did he?
(Pork)
(Raw beef, Korean beef)
- All right. - All right.
(Changseong Prison)
(Motion for Retrial)
But
I never asked for a retrial. Who did this?
Detective Kang Do Chang of Incheon Seobu Police Station
hired me to file it.
What
Why would he?
Detective Kang
seems to admit he didn't investigate the case properly back then.
Really?
Yes.
Would you give it a try?
(We do not abuse the inmates at our facility.)
Do you think a retrial is possible?
Will the judge allow it?
Please be honest with me.
I've seen many inmates prepare for retrials here,
but not a single one was accepted.
There is a slight possibility.
The detective that arrested you is
admitting to his mistake.
After all this time?
I kept telling him I didn't do it,
but he didn't believe a word I said.
Now he admits it right before execution?
Now he's trying to save me?
This is a joke.
When I die,
he'll say he did his best
and he doesn't have to feel bad about anything.
He's just doing this to feel better about himself.
I will never forgive him.
Never.
- Sign the paper. - No, I won't.
You should take revenge on him.
If you get a retrial,
Detective Kang won't be able to keep his job any longer.
Do you think
the police and prosecution will let someone that disgraced them live?
He knows that.
The fact that he is still willing
to go forth with it
means that he wants to feel better about himself like you said.
That's the only explanation.
So,
go ahead and sign it.
Go to court
and tell the whole world
what he did to you.
(Lee Dae Chul)
(Lee Dae Chul)
(We do not abuse the inmates at our facility.)
I'm a lawyer,
but I don't fully trust the law.
If you get executed,
I'll trust it even less.
Do you know what?
Eun Hye has nowhere to sleep and has no money.
She even has a condition.
How could you kick her out?
I didn't kick her out.
She walked out on her own.
She left because you made her feel uncomfortable.
What am I supposed to do?
Should I have begged her to stay?
She's just a kid.
She stayed out all night.
As a mother, how could you not be worried?
My heart has been cut to pieces after my son was taken away.
I'm not in the place to worry about others.
You should have at least called me.
She said she isn't in prison.
Do you think you can take care of her?
Every time she sees you,
she must be reminded of her imprisoned father.
You may be a saviour
to the victims' families,
but you're the enemy
to the culprits' families.
(Korean Judicial Training Center)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
She won't answer my calls.
Can you try calling Eun Hye?
I'll try later.
Why did you take her home?
Well
We have extra rooms.
What are you going to do
if Lee Dae Chul is executed?
Are you going to have her stay with you?
Well
I haven't thought about that yet.
Seeing her every day
will give you nightmares
every single night.
Nightmares don't just come to you.
You create them.
(Lawyer Yeom Jun Seo)
Hey, why do you always patronize me?
Stop worrying about me
and find a way to
- Yes, of course. - It seems to be the judge.
I'll look into it
and send it to you with more information.
Okay, bye.
Mr. So, what did the judge say?
He's asking why we're doing this right before the execution.
He wants to know if we have an ulterior motive.
What ulterior motive?
We're just asking for a retrial
since Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
I think he just called for the sake of it.
It's a sensitive case,
so even if he rejects it,
he's putting up a defence.
So he's trying to say he'll reject it.
We can't have a retrial if the judge refuses to, right?
Darn it.
I said I'd resend the reason we want a retrial.
Let's do whatever we can.
Do you, by any chance,
have any other reason I can give him?
Gosh.
This is really embarrassing.
As a cop,
it's embarrassing to even say this,
but during the investigation,
we once lost the murder weapon.
We ended up finding it,
but it's true
that the weapon was missing for an hour or so.
Was that murder weapon
used as evidence during the trial?
You're saying it's possible the evidence was fabricated.
Why didn't you say anything at the time?
Back then,
I was sure Lee Dae Chul was the murderer.
No matter how we look at it, it seems we're in a tight spot.
We're way too short on time.
It's the same for them.
If it becomes public that we're pushing for a retrial,
those that decided to put him on death row
will try to solve this before executing him.
Then we may have a chance for a retrial.
You're right.
The president decided to carry out the death penalty,
so you can sit down with the president over a meal, right?
You're being ridiculous, you idiot.
Hello.
Already?
Superintendent Moon called her, right?
I knew it.
All right.
First, group the evidence we collected.
Make sure you get approval from Superintendent Moon,
so he doesn't complain later.
(Lawyer So Jae Seop)
(Lawyer So Jae Seop)
Don't worry about the cost.
I know you can't afford it.
If you win
and get compensation, I'll take part of that.
Someone might
try to contact you.
If they offer you a bribe, tell me how much.
I'll pay you twice the amount.
I'll do that.
Okay.
Lawyers
sometimes know their client is guilty.
They still take the job
because it pays.
However, sometimes
we have cases
we want to take even if it doesn't pay.
It's for self-satisfaction.
It's something to comfort ourselves.
Good luck.
(Evidence 1, Evidence 2, Evidence 5)
(Action head, Henchman)
(Boss, Second in command)
(Yeonan Gang Genealogy)
(Trustworthy Police Officers, Happy Citizens)
Attention.
At ease.
This way.
It's all here.
- Chief Woo. - Yes?
They didn't commit a financial crime.
They're known as the biggest gang in Incheon.
Doesn't this seem a bit weak?
(Evidence 5)
Why did the fight break out in broad daylight?
Was it to seek revenge on the Gwangju gang?
No, it wasn't for revenge.
We're sorry.
Are you aware of the citizens' apprehension?
We're really sorry.
We sincerely apologize.
Did Violent Crimes Unit Two catch them?
- Yes. - I mean
When did you have time to do that?
I'll let you in on something.
I have a clone.
We're twins.
He's working on another case right now.
- Gosh. - Reporter Jin.
- Ms. Jin, can we talk? - Okay.
Is it true that you were planning to flee abroad?
- Good job. - Are you the leader?
You did a really good job,
but do something about Yoon Sang Mi.
She's out of our control now.
- Okay. - Is that the cause of the fight?
I have nothing to say.
Please say something!
Did you meet with Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae?
He's sly.
You shouldn't expect to get anything from him.
How is it going with the retrial?
Mr. So submitted a request, but
the judges seem unhappy.
Of course.
No judge in his or her right mind would be swayed.
Then can you try
and sway the judge?
- Good work today. - Good work.
- See you. - See you.
- Gosh. - Reporter Jeong.
Oh, hi.
Will this case be the main story?
I'm not sure.
The police did package it pretty well,
but I don't think it'll be anything big.
I do have another case though.
It definitely deserves to be the main story.
Should I hand it over? Do you want it?
(Seommun Coffee)
Do Chang is
reinvestigating Lee Dae Chul's case.
It was to put the superintendent at ease that he caught Joo Dong Pal.
His real focus is Lee Dae Chul's case.
How far along is the reinvestigation?
Has there been any new evidence or something?
Well
Why don't you ask him directly?
Impressive teamwork.
- You can go back now. - Okay.
I'll never turn my back on him. I'm sorry.
I filed a motion for a retrial for Lee Dae Chul's case.
Who in the world are you doing this for?
If a retrial is granted, I'll testify in court.
It'll also have to be mentioned that a weapon went missing.
I guess it is what it is.
If you're so set on making both of us fall,
what can I possibly do?
I'll say
I'm the one who lost the weapon.
All you have to do is
keep quiet as you always have.
I'm touched.
Everyone on the team chipped in yesterday
so Kwon Jae Hong could return the gift certificates.
You said all I have to do is keep quiet, right?
Okay.
I'll tell you about the location soon.
Bring a broadcasting team there, okay? Bye.
- A broadcasting team? - Yes.
Do Chang,
you're going on TV.
A death-row convict filed a motion for a retrial.
Let's hear from our reporter for the details.
Following the announcement of the first execution in 20 years,
a death-row convict filed a motion for a retrial. Who is he?
Five years ago, he was sentenced to death for murdering
a college student and a detective. His name is Lee Dae Chul.
Why is he demanding a retrial?
He's claiming that the police investigation was
insufficient and coercive.
I interviewed the detective
at Incheon Seobu Police Station
who was in charge of the case and arrested Lee Dae Chul.
Things actually heated up quite a bit.
I'll tell you more as we watch the interview.
Detective!
You were in charge of Lee Dae Chul's case five years ago, right?
Yes, that's right. What's the matter?
- Is that you? - Lee Dae Chul filed a motion
- Yes. - Just a second, Detective.
Are you aware that Lee Dae Chul filed a motion for a retrial?
What would a death-row convict not do to avoid execution?
He's just desperate to live.
Wait, Detective. Let me ask you one more thing.
Are you aware that the missionary who killed himself recently
claimed Lee Dae Chul's innocence as well?
That was before the announcement came.
Do you still think he was merely trying to stop the execution?
It's already been revealed that they teamed up.
- Where do you work? - Detective, are you saying
Lee Dae Chul's claim is groundless?
What kind of detective would think
the culprit he arrested is innocent?
He's claiming that a retrial is needed
because the police investigation was insufficient.
What's your opinion on that?
Let's say the police investigation was insufficient.
Are judges and prosecutors all stupid?
He was sentenced to death
based on the evidence and circumstances!
I'm busy. Leave me alone.
- Get out of my sight. - Detective.
Cut out the nonsense already!
- You little Put the camera away! - The thing is
- Hey. - Detective.
It's not okay to swear on TV.
That reporter was getting on my nerves. That jerk
As Reporter Jeong pointed out, there seems to be more going on.
The detective seems to be overreacting.
Yes, you'll understand his reaction better
- after watching the next interview. - Okay.
We managed to meet with a person
who was close to the victim. Here's the interview.
You were Ms. Yoon Ji Sun's boyfriend
before she was murdered five years ago?
- Yes. - Were you interrogated
by the police after the incident?
No, never.
You weren't even interviewed as a witness?
If you were her boyfriend, you could've been the prime suspect.
Do you know why the police excluded you?
I'm not sure. I'm sure there was a reason,
although I can't understand it.
Anyway,
you believe that the investigation was insufficient?
Yes. To be honest, I can't trust them.
There has been doubt
- Who's that punk? - about the initial investigation.
- I don't know. - How can you not know?
I wasn't involved in
the initial investigation.
It was done by the late Jang Jin Soo and Chief Nam.
In addition, he even asked me
- to make sure a reinvestigation - It's true.
is carried out so that Ms. Yoon can rest in peace.
- But the police - Will this change the judge's mind?
The retrial judge doesn't seem like an easy opponent.
He finished the bar exam and the training in the top 10 percent.
Top judges stay at the top throughout their careers.
I doubt there's much that can sway him.
I'm sure he'll still listen to the deity.
The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission
has been demanding the abolition of the death penalty.
They're holding a silent rally in front of the Supreme Court
for an instant retrial on Lee Dae Chul's case
as well as the abolition of the death penalty.
Hello, Minister. It's me.
I have a favour to ask.
Breaking news.
At noon, the Supreme Court approved the motion
for the retrial of Lee Dae Chul's case
and ordered the Seoul High Court to commence the retrial.
It now remains to be seen how the Supreme Court's order
for the retrial will affect
the upcoming first execution in 20 years.
Did you hear the news?
We beat the odds after all.
It's no easy feat to be granted a retrial,
especially with the execution coming up.
Detective Kang, you should become an actor.
You looked so natural in front of the camera.
My gosh. I'm going to contact some film production companies
with this guy after we solve this case.
Why are you dragging me into this?
Judging from what I've seen, I think
you'll make a great con artist with that clever brain of yours.
You can write the script. I'll play the lead character.
Don't you think it'll be a blockbuster hit?
You can play a villain.
A villain with a sailor's mouth.
A villain? That won't suit me.
I should play a detective. It's perfect for me.
But there are many bad detectives.
Are you implying that you think I'm a bad detective?
I'm just talking about the way you look.
Just your appearance.
Why? What's wrong with the way I look?
Look who's talking. You look like a weasel.
You have the typical face of a con artist.
Don't smile, you punk.
My goodness.
We haven't won this game yet.
This is only the beginning.
They say, "Well begun is half done."
And I think the public is on our side.
Wouldn't you say it's a pretty good beginning?
If I were the judge for the retrial,
I wouldn't approve this retrial easily.
They had no choice because of public opinion.
The evidence we have
Even I don't think it's enough.
Well, we'll gather more evidence
You know we don't have time, right?
First, we should set a direction and strategize for the retrial.
We'll focus more on Yoon Ji Sun's case
than on Detective Jang Jin Soo's case.
If he's acquitted in the murder of Yoon Ji Sun,
he can apply for a stay of execution.
The most important thing is
proving that the investigation was poorly conducted.
How the police concealed facts and their corruption and coercion.
That should be our focus.
And that is up to you, Detective Kang.
You know that, right?
Yes, I'll do everything in my power.
We must win, no matter what.
You've agreed to this retrial.
They will soon announce how the Cabinet will be reshuffled.
There's no need to carry such a burden right off the bat.
I should shake it all off.
The opposition party is already preparing for a hearing.
I'm sure they'll interrogate me about Oh Jong Tae.
I need you
to meet with him again before they announce it
and get an assurance from him.
To be perfectly honest,
I don't trust that guy.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Just tell me what you'd like me to do.
You need me to just lie low, right?
If I must step in,
just give me a script.
I'll say exactly what's written
on the script.
I'll let you know
once the hearing commences.
By any chance, does Congressman Yoo
have anything to do with Lee Dae Chul's retrial?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
The Department of Justice
made that decision because of public opinion.
But I'm thinking
someone with power must've advised them to do so.
Obviously not the current minister.
The power
has already shifted to the newly appointed minister, Yoo Jeong Ryeol.
In the end, the one with enough authority to make such a decision
I'm not sure why you're so curious about that,
but I can tell you this one thing.
The door
must be closed by the one who opened it in the first place.
Anyway, let's cooperate.
We'll make sure we won't do any harm to each other.
I just don't get it.
A retrial has been granted? On what grounds?
Lee Dae Chul Who on earth is behind him?
Right?
I'm curious too.
That scumbag comes from nothing.
I think Lee Dae Chul
has been sending letters to multiple people.
That's probably why the priests' association got involved.
If the retrial has already been granted,
it can't be cancelled.
The three of us are the only ones at our precinct
that are connected to Lee Dae Chul and his case.
I can take care of myself,
but you two You'd better keep your mouths shut.
Even if the reporters keep following you around,
do not agree to any interviews.
And even if the attorney requests any of the files that we still have,
don't give him anything.
We don't have any of the files left anyway.
You might get subpoenaed,
but do not show up.
That won't cause you any legal trouble.
- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.
If
things go south at the retrial,
everyone who had anything to do with that case
will fall like dominoes.
We'll all be doomed. All of us.
Yes, sir.
I'm aware.
(Chief's Office, Executive Conference Room)
What a headache.
Although you have a lot more on your plate than I do.
Do you want to grab a drink? It's been a while.
No, I'm not in the mood for a drink.
Have you visited Lee Dae Chul recently?
Why would I?
You and Lee Eun Hye are close.
Didn't she ask you for help?
"My dad is innocent. Please save him."
You jerk. Why are you asking me this?
Why are you getting so worked up?
What's going on?
Did she really ask you for help?
Chief Nam.
You joined the force after I did,
but you've been climbing the ladder a lot faster.
So don't mind me.
Once the retrial begins, I will have to take the heat
regardless of the result.
Have some pity
and keep your mouth shut.
You're good at that.
And do me a favour.
If you mess with someone like me who's given up everything
You'd better behave yourself
because I've got nothing to lose.
Gosh, how scary.
You guys are still here? Go home already.
Do Chang.
What did Superintendent Moon say?
Does he know that you've been pulling the strings behind it all?
Pretend you know nothing. Don't show that you know anything.
If I need your help,
I'll reach out to you guys,
so just say you know nothing even if Superintendent Moon asks.
Go home already. I'll leave in a bit too.
You too. Get going. I have to organize some stuff.
Okay.
Do Chang and Detective Oh
stepped in and got the retrial granted for Lee Dae Chul, right?
That's right.
I knew it. Do Chang is so cool.
What's "cool" about this?
Even if Lee Dae Chul wins the case,
nothing good will come out of it for Do Chang.
He'll just get on the wrong side of the higher-ups.
Do Chang is just ashamed.
He'll be ashamed for the rest of his life if it stays buried.
That's why he's doing this.
I can totally relate to that.
I thought I'd also
have to live with such embarrassment for the rest of my life,
but Do Chang straighten me out.
That was when I realized
why I must continue working as a detective.
Hey, don't you feel as though Do Chang is saying this to us now?
"This is what a detective should be like."
"Just live like this."
Even I think I sounded pretty cool just now.
Right?
- Sure. - Sure.
So cool.
That little
Get back here.
(The Questioning for the Murders of Yoon Ji Sun and Jang Jin Soo)
(Kang Do Chang, National Police Agency)
Well
Detective Kang.
(The Good Detective)
Just kill me!
Why drag Eun Hye into this? She did nothing wrong!
Why? Why?
Tell me what you did wrong. I want the details.
Okay, I'll tell you at the police station.
Why should we? We're at the scene now.
Have you found additional evidence to prove Oh Jong Tae is the killer?
Did your boss ask you to find out?
My boss isn't that kind of person.
Have you found solid evidence
to suspect Mr. Oh?
I guess you're in a big rush.
I admit that I crossed the center line!
Anyhow, I'll never have to go to court.
You're a detective, so what?
Do you have that much power?
Your brother is a detective!
Look at yourself.
Who do you think is living in the gutter now?
Eun Hye asked me for a favour.
You must stay alive, Lee Dae Chul.
(Episode 6)
All eyes will be on you, Mr. Oh.
You should be prepared.
I'm aware. I saw this coming,
but I'm not sure how I should handle it.
Just hold out.
It'll all be over soon.
I won't have to go to court, right?
I'll make sure that won't happen.
I'll be counting on the two of you.
(Junghan Daily)
Darn it. Hey, let's not tail him.
- Why not? - I think he's caught on.
- Gosh. - Darn it.
Call everyone on the team.
Tell them not to leave for the day yet
and return to the office.
I'll be there around 11pm.
Yes.
Okay.
I heard her dad is a death-row convict who killed two people.
So what? It's not like she killed anyone.
Still, I don't like having her here.
How could she have grown up normally under a father like that?
I don't like her eyes either.
You're just prejudiced against her.
She had a rough childhood, that's all.
Did you
do something bad to her?
What? "Something bad"? What are you talking about?
Then why are you being such a do-gooder? It's unlike you.
Because my testosterone levels have been declining. Happy now?
I'm even losing hair because of all the stress you've caused me.
My testosterone levels have drastically dropped,
and I also cry so easily these days.
It's all your fault, you mean wench.
Goodness gracious. What's wrong with him?
Yes.
Do you like the room?
Here.
I just peeled these. Have some.
The bed is a little old.
But it'll be better than the hospital bed.
I think the mattress is still okay.
You can save my dad, right?
My dad never killed anyone.
You know that.
I'll do everything in my power
to help him.
If
my dad gets executed
Then who can I blame?
My dad told me
to just think that he never existed.
But how could I do that?
He brought me into this world and raised me.
He's my dad after all.
And your dad is still alive.
I was the one
who put handcuffs around his wrists,
so I'm the only one
who can undo that.
So you need to talk to me about Lee Dae Chul's case?
Lee Dae Chul
was sentenced to death
for killing a female college student and a detective.
The name of the college student was Yoon Ji Sun.
She was an art student.
She drew someone's portrait around the time of the murder.
And I found some circumstantial evidence
that the person who commissioned the portrait might have killed her.
Who is it?
The president of Incheon Jeil Trust,
Oh Jong Tae.
- And the evidence? - Oh Jong Tae's alibi
was fabricated.
- And? - I've also secured some evidence
that Lee Dae Chul was somewhere else at the time of the murder.
They're both indirect evidence.
They're not admissible.
The investigation and the trial were based on fabricated evidence.
I think it's enough reason to request a retrial.
A retrial?
Do you think it'll be easy?
No, it'll be hard.
If Oh Jong Tae is the real culprit, it'll be very hard.
He's one of the wealthiest men in Incheon.
He'll use all the connections he has in the police force
as well as in the political and legal circles to stop it.
And
the media too.
Someone once told me this.
The most effective way to cover up the truth behind any case is
to make the victim disappear forever.
Someone in the prison attempted to murder Lee Dae Chul.
The attempt failed, of course. But soon after that,
they announced they'll execute death-row convicts after 20 years.
If their ultimate goal is getting rid of Lee Dae Chul
And if the real culprit is behind everything
It's not something ordinary people can do.
But if it was Oh Jong Tae,
it's certainly possible.
I know about Oh Jong Tae.
He's a powerful man.
He's also the one who helped my brother with his election campaign.
He's quite powerful in Incheon, but that's about it.
Only the President
can decide whether or not to execute those on death row.
Do you think
he's powerful enough to influence the President?
If your speculation is right,
Oh Jong Tae isn't the real culprit.
It must be someone much more powerful than Oh Jong Tae.
Yes, Detective Oh.
Right now?
All right.
That's Yoo Jeong Seok, Manager at Junghan Daily.
His brother is
Congressman Yoo Jeong Ryeol.
He is a candidate for the next Minister of Justice.
I won't have to go to court, right?
I'll be counting on the two of you.
So a manager at Junghan Daily
and the next Minister of Justice are backing him up.
Unbelievable.
This is giving me a headache.
Jong Tae showed it to us on purpose.
He's showing off his power
by letting us know whom he hangs out with.
Do Chang.
What are you doing, keeping everyone from going home?
No matter how hard I try to understand, this seems wrong.
Frankly, this case is personal to you, isn't it?
Am I wrong?
- What is wrong with you? - Let go of me.
I'm right, aren't I?
Do Chang.
Just go and catch Joo Dong Pal.
That's our job.
Why are you putting everyone through so much trouble?
Jae Hong.
We chose to be here.
Of course, you chose to be here.
Wake up, you guys.
You're screwed whether this goes well or not.
Look at me.
I'm begging you.
If you have a conscience at all,
please let them go.
Don't ruin their lives too!
- What's with you, Jae Hong? - Gosh.
Top cops?
Just be honest and say you're recruiting a suicide squad.
Darn it.
- Jae Hong. - Darn it.
What is wrong with him today?
Jae Hong is right about everything.
Make your own choices.
- Oh Ji Hyuk. - Yes?
Can you show me the evidence that the CCTV was fabricated?
Yes, sir.
The rest of you go home.
You did a good job.
Why is this so complicated?
It's simple.
We'll get fired if we side with Do Chang.
Fired for what?
We're public servants.
Even if they can't fire us,
they'll send us away to some remote area.
We'll still get our paycheck every month.
We'll never be successful.
We wouldn't have joined Violent Crimes if we were after success.
- You're right about that. - Isn't that Jae Hong?
Where?
Is he thinking of drunk driving?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Do Chang is chasing after Joo Dong Pal.
Think about it.
What good will come out of bringing up the Lee Dae Chul case?
What? Look.
Am I your rat?
Forget about it. Do as you please! Do whatever you want!
Darn it!
Darn it.
Who do you think you are?
Gosh, this is embarrassing.
How did I end up in the gutter like this?
I haven't even paid it off yet.
Seriously.
(Yoon Sang Mi)
You got a call from Yoon Sang Mi.
Yoon Sang Mi from the Civil Petition Division.
I don't believe it.
Let's ask for a retrial
before it's too late.
I think we should since it's a special situation.
But we're tight on time.
It's hard to win a retrial even after years of preparation.
We have no other choice but to give it everything we have.
You heard what Detective Kwon said earlier.
That we're screwed whether this goes well or not.
It's a true fact.
Are you two okay with that?
The worst that could happen to me is to get fired,
but Lee Dae Chul
will die if it goes wrong.
What do you think my choice should be?
Be honest with us.
Yoon Sang Mi has something on you, doesn't she?
Jae Hong, you didn't
What are you trying to say?
Dong Wook,
what are you thinking?
We all heard what he said.
Why would he bring up Do Chang?
Yoon Sang Mi must have asked him to dig dirt on Do Chang.
You punk. Don't you know Jae Hong?
Do you know how much respect he secretly has for Do Chang?
What if Dong Wook is right?
What are you going to do if Dong Wook is right?
What is the matter with you?
What are you saying?
Listen.
Between Do Chang and me,
who do you think
will last on this team longer?
Gosh.
Thank you.
Did you brief your superiors?
About what we're doing?
Yes, I did.
Even the manager that was meeting Oh Jung Tae?
Of course, I did. He's whom I report to.
They looked close.
He must not be happy that we're after Oh Jong Tae.
It won't do you any good
to make your boss unhappy.
You're right,
now that I think about it.
How dare I stand up to him right after transferring to the HQ?
This case even involves the police, the prosecution
and the judiciary.
If I get on their wrong side,
they'd never help me write a single article.
My life as a reporter will come to an end.
Why would I write an article
that will ruin my career?
This is stupid, isn't it?
This is crazy.
Please find out if Kim Gi Tae is
really moving Jo Seong Dae
and if he knew about Oh Jong Tae.
You're hilarious.
I just told you
this is stupid.
- Please find out. - Detective Oh.
Detective Oh!
(Seobu Detention House)
As you told me,
Lee Dae Chul seems to be innocent.
However, there is no hard evidence because it's an old case.
It would be very helpful if someone decided to talk.
Why don't you help me out?
How would I help you?
Jo Seong Dae.
You're close to him. Didn't he tell you?
He must not have told you
that he killed someone named Park Gun Ho and tried to kill me too.
The police are trying to find out who he's working for.
However, I first met Jo Seong Dae
because of you.
- Jo Seong Dae? - Yes, Jo Seong Dae.
Who are you talking about?
You sent him to me.
I remember now.
I asked my nephew to pick you up,
but he must've been busy and sent someone else.
I'll ask my nephew later
who that person is.
- Chief Prosecutor Kim. - I was being genuine
when I said Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
Actually, I can't say it was completely genuine.
When my trial begins,
you'll be called as a witness.
I wanted to show that witness
a good side of me.
That's it.
If you found out who the real culprit is,
shouldn't you have told me first?
I need to investigate further.
Who are you investigating?
It isn't the person
you pointed out.
Wasn't he your final target?
If you want,
I can stop now.
Detective Kang,
I've never taken a retrial case
and I'm not sure I can do well.
Not to mention he's about to be executed.
The department of justice won't allow a retrial.
I'm too much of a coward
to take such a big case.
Mr. So.
I arrested Lee Dae Chul.
The cop that arrested a man is
filing for a retrial to prove the culprit's innocence.
At the moment,
I'm going against myself.
It's crazy.
- So why? - This is nothing
as long as I keep quiet.
I know that too, but
if I don't speak up,
no one else will.
A painting is very different from a photo.
It carries emotions.
It is created by a person for another person.
What do you see in me?
Anger.
You look like you're very upset about something.
Anyway, you look somewhat sad.
Do you see that?
- Yes. - Right there.
- There. - This is
I'll let you talk to Mr. So instead.
The thing is
Wait. Can you hold on?
- It's Go Jun Seop. - Okay.
Hello. Oh, how are you? It's So Jae Seop.
Yoon Ji Sun's friend told me.
How many witnesses do we have now?
- Go Jun Seop. - Yoon Ji Sun's friend.
- Yoon Ji Sun's friend. - Yoon Ji Sun's friend.
(Analysed Image 4)
(A close-up of the unidentified object, C)
(Lee Dae Chul's Retrial Documents)
No matter how we put the materials together,
the conclusion doesn't change.
There's no evidence that Oh Jong Tae is the culprit
or that Lee Dae Chul is not the culprit.
Retrials have stricter requirements
than normal trials.
It's not going to be easy.
We have a witness.
Go Jun Seop?
But it's not like he witnessed the murder.
- The police. - The police?
There is no one more trusted by the judges
than the detective in charge of the case.
What if the detective testifies?
Are you telling me to jump in the fire
covered in gasoline?
Gosh. Fine, I'll do it.
Kang Do Chang is preoccupied with chasing Joo Dong Pal now.
It's a feint.
As far as I know,
he's reinvestigating Lee Dae Chul's case.
- Why? - You know how he can be.
Once he sets his mind on something,
he pushes ahead with it at all costs.
But he's changed. He's not like him in the old days.
You do know
I'm inspecting him, right?
He came to me the other day.
"Why did that happen to that person at that specific timing?"
"Back then, I thought it was just a coincidence."
"How come I now feel as though I can see that person's intentions?"
I'll probably have to turn my back on a junior officer I'm close to
so that I, too, can keep personal matters separate from work.
Do you know
what incident he was referring to?
He's talking about the time
when I lost the weapon used in the crime and you retrieved it.
By "keeping personal matters separate from work",
he means that a reinvestigation into Lee Dae Chul's case
will inevitably disclose
what happened between you and me.
If my mistake gets revealed,
it'll damage my career seriously.
In addition, you might also get in trouble
for retrieving the weapon.
What does a police officer usually do
after retiring early?
A case broker?
That's a dirty job.
A private guard?
But that's physically exhausting.
You might be too old for it.
My goodness.
Age doesn't matter.
I'll make a young guy do all the work for me.
- Who? - There's this guy
who pushed me in the fire.
If I'm going to fall,
I'll make sure he falls with me.
(Police)
What is Yoon Sang Mi
doing here
alone at this hour?
Who is she meeting with?
Don't take it. Just hold it for me for a minute.

Give it to me.
I'm
running after a culprit.
I can't talk
Hey! Stop right there, you punk!
Stop!
Let's go catch Joo Dong Pal.
It's about time he got caught.
Start the engine.
Who is it?
Yu Na, it's me.
What?
You have no place to sleep again?
Pay me first.
You're crazy.
You ratted me out to the police?
Hey! Stop!
- What? - Hong Doo is going to kill me.
Why?
The cop talked me into
handing over his number.
Eun Hye, please help me.
Where are you?
Do you remember this place? I mean
the empty house I once had a birthday party at.
Hong Doo will find me in no time.
Stay with me
and when he comes, please explain to him.
If I'm here alone, he'll beat me to death.
All this happened while I was trying to help you.
Eun Hye, please.
Okay. I'll be right there.
Where are you going?
Detective Kang said you can't go out at night.
Stay home.
It's not like I'm in prison.
You don't want to come back here, do you?
Let's pretend that you ran away without me knowing.
That will make things easier for both of us.
- Did you guys eat? - Yes.
Let's do this.
Where is Joo Dong Pal now?
He'll be here any minute.
He can't live without women.
He'll visit the woman after having a drink.
If it's that easy, what did you call us over for?
Do you expect me to do all the work myself?
I can't let you guys slack off.
Here he comes. Hide.
Let's go.
What are those punks?
Aren't they from Gwangju?
Darn it.
Joo Dong Pal!
Run! Gosh.
- You punks! - Stop!
- Stop, you punks! - Stop right there!
Gosh.
Stop right there!
- Get him! - Joo Dong Pal!
Out of the way!
- You punks! - Don't push me!
- Out of the way! - Hey!
- Out of the way, you punks! - Stop right there!
- That way! - Get him!
Joo Dong Pal!
- Stop! - Out of the way!
- Get him! - Stop!
Gosh.
Jae Hong!
Jae Hong!
Hey! Ji Hyuk! Jae Hong!
- Ji Hyuk! - Catch him!
- I'm counting on you! - Stop right there!
- Stop, jerk! - Hold it right there!
- Chase him! - You punk!
- Stop right there! - Darn it!
- Hold up! - My gosh!
- Easy there! - Darn it!
- Catch him! - Right now!
- Get back! - Get him!
Darn it!
- Grab him! - Over here!
Darn it!
Gosh!
- Jerk! - Stop running!
Why you little!
- Get out of there! - Darn it!
- Not again! - Come here!
- Get out of there - Come out!
- I got him! - Darn it!
- Don't let him get away! - Darn it!
- Hey! - Stop!
- Hold it right there! - Seriously!
- Let go of me! - Jerk!
- Hey you! - Stop right there!
- I finally got you! - Darn it!
- Darn it! - Let go of me!
- Seriously! - Darn it!
- My gosh! - Seriously, this guy!
Gosh darn it!
Finally!
- I'm exhausted. - I got him.
- I got him! - Look.
- We're all good here. - Look what we did!
- Hold him. - Darn it!
- Jerk! - Seriously!
You guys can go back now.
- All right! - Good job!
- What happened? - Did you get him?
Look at him!
Nice one.
Finally!
You guys came from afar and broke quite a bit of sweat!
Anyway, many thanks
for your cooperation!
Good job, everyone!
- Let's grab a bite. - I'm exhausted.
This is awesome!
- Jae Hong was quite impressive. - Look at him!
What brings you here?
Did you call her?
Can't you see? She is a snitch.
Are you planning something with her?
Answer me!
Stop it!
Hey, the sight of you irritates me.
Get out of here, now.
She's innocent. If you're going to hit her, then hit me.
What a friend you got there!
What a beautiful friendship here!
Hey, you two, drag her over there and take care of her.
She made a scar on my nose,
make sure she sincerely regrets that.
No, please!
Stop it!
Get her out of my sight.
- Darn it. - I told you to stop!
Get her out of here!
- Let go of me! - This is all your fault!
Be quiet!
I told you to stop!
Get her out of here!
- Let go of me! - This is all your fault!
Please, don't! Eun Hye!
Be quiet!
Hey, let go of her.
I told her to let her go, darn it!
Why don't you bring
the four of your thugs?
You will feel lonely if you go in by yourself.
Just bring four of your thugs you're not really close with.
Team one and two, attention!
At ease.
Good job, everyone!
Who caught him and handcuffed him?
Kwon Jae Hong did.
I didn't know Jae Hong was that fast.
He was as fast as lightning! I totally missed it!
He's normally clumsy but
when he sees a criminal,
he turns into Usain Bolt.
Well, it must be innate. He's just born to be a detective.
Why are you all like this all of a sudden?
Hey, there's no need to be modest now.
You know my principle.
I always catch and punish those
who sell out others to cover his own mistakes.
And for those who achieve great things,
I always reward them proportionately.
It's not like I caught him all by myself.
That's right, it's teamwork.
You guys hit the jackpot today.
I can't rely on anyone else but Violent Crimes Unit Two.
- Good job Unit Two! - Good Job!
- Good Job! - Nicely done!
Keep it up.
Hey, isn't she going to die like that?
No worries, she'll wake up sooner or later.
Hey, what are you going to do with me now?
- You're really good at acting - I know, right?
So, are we even now?
Don't act in front of me, you'll get in trouble.
Of course, you don't have to say things like that.
Let's pretend that you ran away without me knowing.
That will make things easier for both of us.
Let's order more!
Let's do a toast.
Cheers to Unit Two!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Did you finish writing the case report?
- Yeah. - Good job, come on in.
Hey, wait up.
This is yours.
Thanks.
Come on, let's go inside.
This is great!
The man of the hour is here!

- Kwon Jae Hong will now drink! - Hong!
- Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong!
- Hong, Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong, Hong!
- Hong, Hong, Hong! - Hong, Hong, Hong!
- Hong! - Here you go.
Have this.
You need food.
Good job.
I'll do it.
- Sit in the middle, Jae Hong. - Sit in the middle, Jae Hong.
He didn't come, did he?

- All right. - All right.
(Changseong Prison)
(Motion for Retrial)
But
I never asked for a retrial. Who did this?
Detective Kang Do Chang of Incheon Seobu Police Station
hired me to file it.
What
Why would he?
Detective Kang
seems to admit he didn't investigate the case properly back then.
Really?
Yes.
Would you give it a try?
(We do not abuse the inmates at our facility.)
Do you think a retrial is possible?
Will the judge allow it?
Please be honest with me.
I've seen many inmates prepare for retrials here,
but not a single one was accepted.
There is a slight possibility.
The detective that arrested you is
admitting to his mistake.
After all this time?
I kept telling him I didn't do it,
but he didn't believe a word I said.
Now he admits it right before execution?
Now he's trying to save me?
This is a joke.
When I die,
he'll say he did his best
and he doesn't have to feel bad about anything.
He's just doing this to feel better about himself.
I will never forgive him.
Never.
- Sign the paper. - No, I won't.
You should take revenge on him.
If you get a retrial,
Detective Kang won't be able to keep his job any longer.
Do you think
the police and prosecution will let someone that disgraced them live?
He knows that.
The fact that he is still willing
to go forth with it
means that he wants to feel better about himself like you said.
That's the only explanation.
So,
go ahead and sign it.
Go to court
and tell the whole world
what he did to you.
(Lee Dae Chul)
(Lee Dae Chul)
(We do not abuse the inmates at our facility.)
I'm a lawyer,
but I don't fully trust the law.
If you get executed,
I'll trust it even less.
Do you know what?
Eun Hye has nowhere to sleep and has no money.
She even has a condition.
How could you kick her out?
I didn't kick her out.
She walked out on her own.
She left because you made her feel uncomfortable.
What am I supposed to do?
Should I have begged her to stay?
She's just a kid.
She stayed out all night.
As a mother, how could you not be worried?
My heart has been cut to pieces after my son was taken away.
I'm not in the place to worry about others.
You should have at least called me.
She said she isn't in prison.
Do you think you can take care of her?
Every time she sees you,
she must be reminded of her imprisoned father.
You may be a saviour
to the victims' families,
but you're the enemy
to the culprits' families.
(Korean Judicial Training Center)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
She won't answer my calls.
Can you try calling Eun Hye?
I'll try later.
Why did you take her home?
Well
We have extra rooms.
What are you going to do
if Lee Dae Chul is executed?
Are you going to have her stay with you?
Well
I haven't thought about that yet.
Seeing her every day
will give you nightmares
every single night.
Nightmares don't just come to you.
You create them.
(Lawyer Yeom Jun Seo)
Hey, why do you always patronize me?
Stop worrying about me
and find a way to
- Yes, of course. - It seems to be the judge.
I'll look into it
and send it to you with more information.
Okay, bye.
Mr. So, what did the judge say?
He's asking why we're doing this right before the execution.
He wants to know if we have an ulterior motive.
What ulterior motive?
We're just asking for a retrial
since Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
I think he just called for the sake of it.
It's a sensitive case,
so even if he rejects it,
he's putting up a defence.
So he's trying to say he'll reject it.
We can't have a retrial if the judge refuses to, right?
Darn it.
I said I'd resend the reason we want a retrial.
Let's do whatever we can.
Do you, by any chance,
have any other reason I can give him?
Gosh.
This is really embarrassing.
As a cop,
it's embarrassing to even say this,
but during the investigation,
we once lost the murder weapon.
We ended up finding it,
but it's true
that the weapon was missing for an hour or so.
Was that murder weapon
used as evidence during the trial?
You're saying it's possible the evidence was fabricated.
Why didn't you say anything at the time?
Back then,
I was sure Lee Dae Chul was the murderer.
No matter how we look at it, it seems we're in a tight spot.
We're way too short on time.
It's the same for them.
If it becomes public that we're pushing for a retrial,
those that decided to put him on death row
will try to solve this before executing him.
Then we may have a chance for a retrial.
You're right.
The president decided to carry out the death penalty,
so you can sit down with the president over a meal, right?
You're being ridiculous, you idiot.
Hello.
Already?
Superintendent Moon called her, right?
I knew it.
All right.
First, group the evidence we collected.
Make sure you get approval from Superintendent Moon,
so he doesn't complain later.
(Lawyer So Jae Seop)
(Lawyer So Jae Seop)
Don't worry about the cost.
I know you can't afford it.
If you win
and get compensation, I'll take part of that.
Someone might
try to contact you.
If they offer you a bribe, tell me how much.
I'll pay you twice the amount.
I'll do that.
Okay.
Lawyers
sometimes know their client is guilty.
They still take the job
because it pays.
However, sometimes
we have cases
we want to take even if it doesn't pay.
It's for self-satisfaction.
It's something to comfort ourselves.
Good luck.

Attention.
At ease.
This way.
It's all here.
- Chief Woo. - Yes?
They didn't commit a financial crime.
They're known as the biggest gang in Incheon.
Doesn't this seem a bit weak?
(Evidence 5)
Why did the fight break out in broad daylight?
Was it to seek revenge on the Gwangju gang?
No, it wasn't for revenge.
We're sorry.
Are you aware of the citizens' apprehension?
We're really sorry.
We sincerely apologize.
Did Violent Crimes Unit Two catch them?
- Yes. - I mean
When did you have time to do that?
I'll let you in on something.
I have a clone.
We're twins.
He's working on another case right now.
- Gosh. - Reporter Jin.
- Ms. Jin, can we talk? - Okay.
Is it true that you were planning to flee abroad?
- Good job. - Are you the leader?
You did a really good job,
but do something about Yoon Sang Mi.
She's out of our control now.
- Okay. - Is that the cause of the fight?
I have nothing to say.
Please say something!
Did you meet with Chief Prosecutor Kim Gi Tae?
He's sly.
You shouldn't expect to get anything from him.
How is it going with the retrial?
Mr. So submitted a request, but
the judges seem unhappy.
Of course.
No judge in his or her right mind would be swayed.
Then can you try
and sway the judge?
- Good work today. - Good work.
- See you. - See you.
- Gosh. - Reporter Jeong.
Oh, hi.
Will this case be the main story?
I'm not sure.
The police did package it pretty well,
but I don't think it'll be anything big.
I do have another case though.
It definitely deserves to be the main story.
Should I hand it over? Do you want it?
(Seommun Coffee)
Do Chang is
reinvestigating Lee Dae Chul's case.
It was to put the superintendent at ease that he caught Joo Dong Pal.
His real focus is Lee Dae Chul's case.
How far along is the reinvestigation?
Has there been any new evidence or something?
Well
Why don't you ask him directly?
Impressive teamwork.
- You can go back now. - Okay.
I'll never turn my back on him. I'm sorry.
I filed a motion for a retrial for Lee Dae Chul's case.
Who in the world are you doing this for?
If a retrial is granted, I'll testify in court.
It'll also have to be mentioned that a weapon went missing.
I guess it is what it is.
If you're so set on making both of us fall,
what can I possibly do?
I'll say
I'm the one who lost the weapon.
All you have to do is
keep quiet as you always have.
I'm touched.
Everyone on the team chipped in yesterday
so Kwon Jae Hong could return the gift certificates.
You said all I have to do is keep quiet, right?
Okay.
I'll tell you about the location soon.
Bring a broadcasting team there, okay? Bye.
- A broadcasting team? - Yes.
Do Chang,
you're going on TV.
A death-row convict filed a motion for a retrial.
Let's hear from our reporter for the details.
Following the announcement of the first execution in 20 years,
a death-row convict filed a motion for a retrial. Who is he?
Five years ago, he was sentenced to death for murdering
a college student and a detective. His name is Lee Dae Chul.
Why is he demanding a retrial?
He's claiming that the police investigation was
insufficient and coercive.
I interviewed the detective
at Incheon Seobu Police Station
who was in charge of the case and arrested Lee Dae Chul.
Things actually heated up quite a bit.
I'll tell you more as we watch the interview.
Detective!
You were in charge of Lee Dae Chul's case five years ago, right?
Yes, that's right. What's the matter?
- Is that you? - Lee Dae Chul filed a motion
- Yes. - Just a second, Detective.
Are you aware that Lee Dae Chul filed a motion for a retrial?
What would a death-row convict not do to avoid execution?
He's just desperate to live.
Wait, Detective. Let me ask you one more thing.
Are you aware that the missionary who killed himself recently
claimed Lee Dae Chul's innocence as well?
That was before the announcement came.
Do you still think he was merely trying to stop the execution?
It's already been revealed that they teamed up.
- Where do you work? - Detective, are you saying
Lee Dae Chul's claim is groundless?
What kind of detective would think
the culprit he arrested is innocent?
He's claiming that a retrial is needed
because the police investigation was insufficient.
What's your opinion on that?
Let's say the police investigation was insufficient.
Are judges and prosecutors all stupid?
He was sentenced to death
based on the evidence and circumstances!
I'm busy. Leave me alone.
- Get out of my sight. - Detective.
Cut out the nonsense already!
- You little Put the camera away! - The thing is
- Hey. - Detective.
It's not okay to swear on TV.
That reporter was getting on my nerves. That jerk
As Reporter Jeong pointed out, there seems to be more going on.
The detective seems to be overreacting.
Yes, you'll understand his reaction better
- after watching the next interview. - Okay.
We managed to meet with a person
who was close to the victim. Here's the interview.
You were Ms. Yoon Ji Sun's boyfriend
before she was murdered five years ago?
- Yes. - Were you interrogated
by the police after the incident?
No, never.
You weren't even interviewed as a witness?
If you were her boyfriend, you could've been the prime suspect.
Do you know why the police excluded you?
I'm not sure. I'm sure there was a reason,
although I can't understand it.
Anyway,
you believe that the investigation was insufficient?
Yes. To be honest, I can't trust them.
There has been doubt
- Who's that punk? - about the initial investigation.
- I don't know. - How can you not know?
I wasn't involved in
the initial investigation.
It was done by the late Jang Jin Soo and Chief Nam.
In addition, he even asked me
- to make sure a reinvestigation - It's true.
is carried out so that Ms. Yoon can rest in peace.
- But the police - Will this change the judge's mind?
The retrial judge doesn't seem like an easy opponent.
He finished the bar exam and the training in the top 10 percent.
Top judges stay at the top throughout their careers.
I doubt there's much that can sway him.
I'm sure he'll still listen to the deity.
The Catholic Justice and Peace Commission
has been demanding the abolition of the death penalty.
They're holding a silent rally in front of the Supreme Court
for an instant retrial on Lee Dae Chul's case
as well as the abolition of the death penalty.
Hello, Minister. It's me.
I have a favour to ask.
Breaking news.
At noon, the Supreme Court approved the motion
for the retrial of Lee Dae Chul's case
and ordered the Seoul High Court to commence the retrial.
It now remains to be seen how the Supreme Court's order
for the retrial will affect
the upcoming first execution in 20 years.
Did you hear the news?
We beat the odds after all.
It's no easy feat to be granted a retrial,
especially with the execution coming up.
Detective Kang, you should become an actor.
You looked so natural in front of the camera.
My gosh. I'm going to contact some film production companies
with this guy after we solve this case.
Why are you dragging me into this?
Judging from what I've seen, I think
you'll make a great con artist with that clever brain of yours.
You can write the script. I'll play the lead character.
Don't you think it'll be a blockbuster hit?
You can play a villain.
A villain with a sailor's mouth.
A villain? That won't suit me.
I should play a detective. It's perfect for me.
But there are many bad detectives.
Are you implying that you think I'm a bad detective?
I'm just talking about the way you look.
Just your appearance.
Why? What's wrong with the way I look?
Look who's talking. You look like a weasel.
You have the typical face of a con artist.
Don't smile, you punk.
My goodness.
We haven't won this game yet.
This is only the beginning.
They say, "Well begun is half done."
And I think the public is on our side.
Wouldn't you say it's a pretty good beginning?
If I were the judge for the retrial,
I wouldn't approve this retrial easily.
They had no choice because of public opinion.
The evidence we have
Even I don't think it's enough.
Well, we'll gather more evidence
You know we don't have time, right?
First, we should set a direction and strategize for the retrial.
We'll focus more on Yoon Ji Sun's case
than on Detective Jang Jin Soo's case.
If he's acquitted in the murder of Yoon Ji Sun,
he can apply for a stay of execution.
The most important thing is
proving that the investigation was poorly conducted.
How the police concealed facts and their corruption and coercion.
That should be our focus.
And that is up to you, Detective Kang.
You know that, right?
Yes, I'll do everything in my power.
We must win, no matter what.
You've agreed to this retrial.
They will soon announce how the Cabinet will be reshuffled.
There's no need to carry such a burden right off the bat.
I should shake it all off.
The opposition party is already preparing for a hearing.
I'm sure they'll interrogate me about Oh Jong Tae.
I need you
to meet with him again before they announce it
and get an assurance from him.
To be perfectly honest,
I don't trust that guy.
Okay, I'll take care of it.
Just tell me what you'd like me to do.
You need me to just lie low, right?
If I must step in,
just give me a script.
I'll say exactly what's written
on the script.
I'll let you know
once the hearing commences.
By any chance, does Congressman Yoo
have anything to do with Lee Dae Chul's retrial?
Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
The Department of Justice
made that decision because of public opinion.
But I'm thinking
someone with power must've advised them to do so.
Obviously not the current minister.
The power
has already shifted to the newly appointed minister, Yoo Jeong Ryeol.
In the end, the one with enough authority to make such a decision
I'm not sure why you're so curious about that,
but I can tell you this one thing.
The door
must be closed by the one who opened it in the first place.
Anyway, let's cooperate.
We'll make sure we won't do any harm to each other.
I just don't get it.
A retrial has been granted? On what grounds?
Lee Dae Chul Who on earth is behind him?
Right?
I'm curious too.
That scumbag comes from nothing.
I think Lee Dae Chul
has been sending letters to multiple people.
That's probably why the priests' association got involved.
If the retrial has already been granted,
it can't be cancelled.
The three of us are the only ones at our precinct
that are connected to Lee Dae Chul and his case.
I can take care of myself,
but you two You'd better keep your mouths shut.
Even if the reporters keep following you around,
do not agree to any interviews.
And even if the attorney requests any of the files that we still have,
don't give him anything.
We don't have any of the files left anyway.
You might get subpoenaed,
but do not show up.
That won't cause you any legal trouble.
- Do you understand? - Yes, sir.
If
things go south at the retrial,
everyone who had anything to do with that case
will fall like dominoes.
We'll all be doomed. All of us.
Yes, sir.
I'm aware.
(Chief's Office, Executive Conference Room)
What a headache.
Although you have a lot more on your plate than I do.
Do you want to grab a drink? It's been a while.
No, I'm not in the mood for a drink.
Have you visited Lee Dae Chul recently?
Why would I?
You and Lee Eun Hye are close.
Didn't she ask you for help?
"My dad is innocent. Please save him."
You jerk. Why are you asking me this?
Why are you getting so worked up?
What's going on?
Did she really ask you for help?
Chief Nam.
You joined the force after I did,
but you've been climbing the ladder a lot faster.
So don't mind me.
Once the retrial begins, I will have to take the heat
regardless of the result.
Have some pity
and keep your mouth shut.
You're good at that.
And do me a favour.
If you mess with someone like me who's given up everything
You'd better behave yourself
because I've got nothing to lose.
Gosh, how scary.
You guys are still here? Go home already.
Do Chang.
What did Superintendent Moon say?
Does he know that you've been pulling the strings behind it all?
Pretend you know nothing. Don't show that you know anything.
If I need your help,
I'll reach out to you guys,
so just say you know nothing even if Superintendent Moon asks.
Go home already. I'll leave in a bit too.
You too. Get going. I have to organize some stuff.
Okay.
Do Chang and Detective Oh
stepped in and got the retrial granted for Lee Dae Chul, right?
That's right.
I knew it. Do Chang is so cool.
What's "cool" about this?
Even if Lee Dae Chul wins the case,
nothing good will come out of it for Do Chang.
He'll just get on the wrong side of the higher-ups.
Do Chang is just ashamed.
He'll be ashamed for the rest of his life if it stays buried.
That's why he's doing this.
I can totally relate to that.
I thought I'd also
have to live with such embarrassment for the rest of my life,
but Do Chang straighten me out.
That was when I realized
why I must continue working as a detective.
Hey, don't you feel as though Do Chang is saying this to us now?
"This is what a detective should be like."
"Just live like this."
Even I think I sounded pretty cool just now.
Right?
- Sure. - Sure.
So cool.
That little
Get back here.

Well

(The Good Detective)
Just kill me!
Why drag Eun Hye into this? She did nothing wrong!
Why? Why?
Tell me what you did wrong. I want the details.
Okay, I'll tell you at the police station.
Why should we? We're at the scene now.
Have you found additional evidence to prove Oh Jong Tae is the killer?
Did your boss ask you to find out?
My boss isn't that kind of person.
Have you found solid evidence
to suspect Mr. Oh?
I guess you're in a big rush.
I admit that I crossed the center line!
Anyhow, I'll never have to go to court.
You're a detective, so what?
Do you have that much power?
Your brother is a detective!
Look at yourself.
Who do you think is living in the gutter now?
Eun Hye asked me for a favour.
You must stay alive, Lee Dae Chul.
