(All characters, organizations, locations,)
(and incidents in this drama are fictional.)
Mr. Lee, shouldn't we go there?
Russian junkies are causing a scene at the nightclub.
My goodness. How many households are there?
Can you see that?
Boss ordered us to take care of the junkies. All right?
Hey, idiot.
Listen to me.
My goodness.
All right.
When I was a little boy,
when I couldn't even speak Korean very well,
I helped my mom and dad's business
pretending that I speak Russian.
Is it funny?
No. sir. It's admirable.
That little boy
worked at Texas and Russian Street.
While he worked in a tiny street stall,
he promised himself
that he would never spend his life
in a dump like that.
That he'd own land that's so big that there's no end in sight.
And that he would rule his own land.
Look at that apartment building. That's not enough for me.
I would build a whole town.
And I would name the town after me. Changjin-ri!
No.
- Jin Li. How does Jin Li sound? - It's great.
It's great, isn't it?
So you're here again.
Didn't you answer Boss's call?
Russian customers are on drugs and making a mess
at the hotel nightclub.
So?
So?
You're the one who speaks Russian.
I guess you learned rubbish Russian on a backstreet somehow.
But you're lucky that you did.
Director, so why don't you go take care of them?
I've washed my hands from the nightclub business.
Got it?
You jerk.
I tried to be nice to you since you're from Seoul.
But how dare you tell me what to do?
Where exactly are you from? Cheongnyang-ri? Maljuk Street?
You're in Yeonpo now!
City Corporation wants us to take responsibility
for delaying the opening of Han City Shopping Center.
They're filing a four-million-dollar lawsuit against us.
Double the lawyer's fee.
And tell them we'll give them a handsome success fee.
They said we're unlikely to win the case.
Lawyers will want a few hundred thousand dollars to start with.
But we used every penny we have to purchase the land.
Sir.
If we don't start the construction of Munju project,
we will not only go out of business
but also lose everything to foreclosure.
If we fail to start the construction in a month,
we should clear the property and move to another country.
Which country?
Russia is one option.
I hear Russia is cold. I hate being cold.
- Sir. - How dare you
Let me just say one thing.
I've assisted you for the last 30 years.
Something doesn't feel right about Munju.
I keep getting this anxiety
Director Kim Dol Seok.
You're a businessman so use a standard dialect.
I can barely understand you.
- Sir. - Stand up and get out
before I smash your head.
I will get a lawyer.
(Attorney in charge, Lim Dong Hyuk)
(You have 1 new email.)
(November 10, Munju Police Station holding cell)
(November 10, Munju Police Station holding cell)
The sender is me, and the recipient is also me.
Who is it?
Cute.
Who is it?
(54M 3786)
(Do Hae Won)
Does everyone have a death wish?
(Secretary Jang)
You.
You're hiding a nightmare.
What is it?
Tell me.
You punk.
- Mom. - Yes, what is it, my son?
I don't know.
It's okay. You don't have to know.
It's all right. You don't have to remember.
- He has to know. - You!
Inspector Han, don't do this.
It looks like
that jerk, Dong Sik, talked you into this,
and you can't seem to make a sound judgment.
It looks like you're the one who can't make a sound judgment.
And the same goes for January 15, 2001.
The year 2001?
011-0640-3324.
You must've been very out of it
for you to write this yourself on this official document.
(Patient: Park Jeong Je, Guardian: Do Hae Won)
Medical Consent Form?
Jeong Je.
You recognized this number.
You did, didn't you?
You saw it on Officer Cho Gil Gu's call history.
No, Jeong Je doesn't know anything.
- I know it very well. - Jeong Je.
The number of the burner phone my mother has been using
for over 20 years.
If you recognized it, why didn't you say anything?
I wanted to know.
Know what?
About that day I know nothing about and don't remember a thing from.
That day?
Mom.
- About that day. - Yes?
That day when Yu Yeon never came back.
What happened that day?
I don't remember a thing.
Why can't I remember?
My son. Jeong Je.
Ambulance. Please get an ambulance.
No, Jeong Je. Jeong Je?
- Jeong Je, stay with me. - Yes, a 41-year-old male.
- Stay with me! - He's having difficulty breathing.
We need an ambulance.
We're at 21 Sicheong-ro, Munju,
the Japanese restaurant on the first floor.
Lee Dong Sik. You
If my son breaks down from this,
I'll kill you myself.

(Episode 12: Undo)
(911 Emergency Services)
Are you all right?
I've recently been thinking
that having trust is infinitely useless.
Trusting is a matter of your feelings.
It can always be shattered
when the truth kicks in.
- Is that so? - That's why trusting him
isn't that important right now.
If you wish to trust Senior Inspector Park, go ahead.
Because when the truth kicks in,
that trust will be shattered anyway?
It's because I don't think you're ready for this yet.
What you just said right now.
Are you worried about me, Inspector Han?
Do you think I'm crazy?
I'm leaving.
You can drop me off on your way.
No thanks.
Do Hae Won and her son got taken to the hospital
and that nut case and Han Gi Hwan's son are working together?
The person you have reached is not available.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Darn it!
(JL Lee Chang Jin)
(JL Lee Chang Jin)
So you looked up the investigation report?
Yes, sir. In order to find the lead to the DNA test report,
I looked through the reports on the cases from 2000,
the disappearance of Lee Yu Yeon and the murder of Bang Ju Seon.
You said Chief Nam Sang Bae
asked if you destroyed
- the DNA test report, correct? - Yes.
The report he meant was
probably the test report for a guitar pick.
- The test report on a guitar pick? - Yes, sir.
On October 15, 2000,
at the reed field by Munju Stream where Bang Ju Seon was found,
a guitar pick was also found.
Chief Nam Sang Bae had spotted it himself.
Right here. On the investigation reports
for Lee Yu Yeon and Bang Ju Seon's cases,
you'll see a part regarding the guitar pick.
According to Oh Yeong Ah, a coworker
who worked at the cafe with Bang Ju Seon,
the guitar pick belonged to Lee Dong Sik.
Yes, I think I remember that.
That's why he was arrested without a warrant.
Yes, I also found a record
of Lee Dong Sik admitting that it belonged to him.
Park Jeong Je gave the same testimony.
However, I found something out of the ordinary.
- Out of the ordinary? - Yes, sir.
According to the case report for Bang Ju Seon's case,
there was nothing detected from the guitar pick,
no fingerprints or DNA.
Although Lee Dong Sik used it the day before in the afternoon
at Manyang Cafe,
and he also stated that was his only guitar pick.
I heard he had a habit of wiping it after he used it.
Even so, if he put it in the guitar case,
something had to be on the guitar pick.
But no, I heard nothing was found on it.
You heard nothing was found on it?
No. I was able to find all the other DNA test reports,
but the report for the guitar pick
wasn't a part of the case file.
(No DNA or other evidence was found on the guitar pick.)
Did you get rid of the test report?
What?
The test report from 21 years ago.
So he was looking for this?
Do you think someone destroyed that report?
That report didn't have any admissibility of evidence.
Lee's fingerprints or DNA
weren't found on it.
If he was arrested just because it belonged to him,
I'd say it's a bit of a stretch in the investigation.
Right.
Do you think that's why?
Maybe someone wanted to cover up their mistake in the investigation.
Are you holding the officer in charge responsible?
In other words, it sounds like I gave an order to destroy that
as the superintendent of Munju Police Station.
You asked me to conduct a thorough investigation,
so I am thoroughly raising a question as you requested.
If I gave the order to have the report destroyed,
I wouldn't have made you begin investigating this.
Before I did that,
I would've crossed out this part first.
"E. Requested to have the guitar pick tested."
"The guitar pick found next to Bang Ju Seon was"
"sent for testing."
"No DNA or other evidence was"
"found on the guitar pick."
I'm aware of that. I wanted to ask just to make sure.
I doubt the police or the prosecution
gave the order to have the report destroyed.
If it was an insider in those two institutions,
they would've crossed out what's on the investigation report.
That's why I'd like to ask you one more question.
Are you looking into this case only because Chief Nam Sang Bae,
a police officer was murdered?
- Or do you have another reason? - What?
You seemed to be very concerned about this case.
In that case,
I think I should be prepared.
So it'd be better if I know the reason.
I think Ju Won is
Excuse me? Yes.
I think he's investigating with Officer Lee Dong Sik.
Actually, Office Lee is not the only one.
A few officers of Manyang Police Substation
and some officers of Munju Police Station are in it too.
So maybe I should assign them to the case.
A police officer was murdered.
I'm sure they'll conduct a thorough investigation.
But they say the skin is nearer than the shirt.
So I was worried if they investigate with a biased point of view,
it would cause trouble for the entire police force.
Do you think it was a mistake to assign you to the case
when you are so busy?
No. A mistake? It wasn't a mistake.
I'm always ready to do anything for you, sir.
So I am doing my best to make a thorough investigation.
Let me know if you find anything.
Put these away.
Certainly, sir. I'll put them away.
(JL Lee Chang Jin)
I thought you'd be at the hospital where Park Jeong Je is.
Why are you here?
"The one who killed Kang Jin Mook will kill me as well."
It's what Chief Nam said.
What do you think he was trying to say?
That someone induced Kang Jin Mook to commit suicide.
And that if he pursues the missing test report for the guitar pick,
he would die as well.
Do you think Kang Jin Mook knew about the test report?
Kang Jin Mook wasn't an officer.
So he couldn't have known about the test report.
But maybe he did know something about the guitar pick.
I think Chief went to see Kang Jin Mook to ask him about it.
But he couldn't because he was already dead.
So it's not about the report, but about the guitar pick.
Maybe Kang Jin Mook saw something
related to the guitar pick.
I looked into the case file from 2000.
I read the record of your statement as a testifier.
You said on October 14,
you used the guitar pick at Manyang Cafe
around 4:30pm the day Lee Yu Yeon went missing.
The officer asked if you had used it after that,
and you said you didn't remember.
I really don't remember.
You also said you put the guitar pick in the guitar case
after you used it at the cafe.
You said you went to the cabin at the deer farm
in Mount Simju.
You said you stayed in the cabin
at the estimated time of the accident.
Did you say you looked into the case file?
It seems like you memorized the whole statement.
It's just that I have a good memory.
What I want to know is
how your guitar pick ended up
next to Bang Ju Seon's dead body.
If someone dropped it there
Was I at the scene?
Stop joking.
Gosh, did it sound like a joke and not a confession, Inspector Han?
Are you making a confession?
If that's what you want to believe, go ahead.
Something bothers me about Park Jeong Je.
The one who was with you at the cabin that day.
The one who had access to your guitar case.
Didn't the statement say that person
was with me at the estimated time of the accident?
That's why I said it bothers me.
Like I said before, the hospital record also
You know what? Something else bothers me.
It wasn't there the day Kang Jin Mook died.
But a security camera was suddenly installed at that building.
Yes. It's been bothering me too.
Hello.
How is Jeong Je? I heard he was in bad shape yesterday.
He's in the hospital now. I'm sure he'll be okay.
Did you look into it?
I guess I can't get rid of the leech.
A leech? What do you mean?
JL Construction owns that building.
JL? Are you talking about Lee Chang Jin?
So where is the leech right now?
He answers my calls in three seconds.
But suddenly he's out of reach.
When I got into your car, 2820, last night,
(54M 3786)
I think I saw that car.
(54M 3786)
Why should I pull my car out of my parking lot?
Who are you people?
What is this about?
Did you drive this vehicle last night?
Last night?
No, I brought it from the repair shop early in the morning.
Why did you bring it from the repair shop?
- Well - Were you in an accident?
- Hit and run? - There was no hit and run.
It's my boss' car.
He said he hit something with the back of his car.
But it's not like he hit someone.
Do you work at JL Construction?
What? Yes.
And your boss is Lee Chang Jin, right?
Yes.
So he was with us last night.
(My Ji Hwa, HKH)
This little
Answer your phone. I need to talk to you.
My goodness.
What are you doing in my office when I'm absent?
Then you should be here in your office!
You're crossing the line, Chairman Lee.
What?
How dare you talk to me that way, you little punk?
I'm not a punk. I'm Jang Oh Bok.
The chivalrous fighter, Jang Oh Bok.
He's a hidden master
from the period of King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty.
I know all about it.
My chivalrous fighter, Jang Oh Bok.
Stay outside. Don't come in before I ask for you.
Ma'am, if you feel threatened,
just yell for me.
Is it because you always collect crazy guys?
Or is it because he stayed with you long enough to go crazy?
I'm not feeling very well today.
So I won't be able to tolerate your nonsense.
Why aren't you feeling well?
Because of your son?
What about my son?
I saw your son being carried away in an ambulance last night.
Lee Dong Sik and Han Ju Won were watching.
So why did you avoid my calls last night?
Do you think it's okay to keep secrets from me?
I'm sure Jeong Je doesn't remember anything.
I can assure you.
What doesn't he remember?
About that day.
That day?
That day from 21 years ago.
So why are you talking about the old days?
Do you remember the burner phone I use?
The phone I answered when I was with you.
(The day Nam Sang Bae died)
Could you just answer your phone?
I think it's your informant you bragged about the other day.
Just answer the phone.
Yes.
Why did you answer so late?
Cho Gil Gu.
I know I'm not supposed to call you.
But this is an emergency.
What is it now? Is your daughter studying abroad
suddenly getting married or something?
If it's not an important matter, let's talk later.
Later, later, later.
Superintendent Jung isn't answering my calls.
You two can't get away like this.
Do you think I'll let you put all the blame on me?
Put the blame on you? What are you talking about?
Chief Nam figured it all out.
He knows the test report for the guitar pick has gone missing.
He said it was in his safe.
The safe they searched two days ago.
What does that mean?
What do you mean it was in his safe?
A text message?
Nam Sang Bae did?
All right. Take a screenshot of it
and send the image to me.
I said all right.
I'm going to take care of it.
(The one I kept in the safe at my office disappeared.)
(The same one you got rid of before. They'll blame you. Let's talk.)
Chairman Lee, it's
I mean it's
Well, this is just
The same one you got rid of?
Back then
I had no choice.
Jeong Je couldn't become the culprit, could he?
The development plan would have been canceled too, you know.
This is all a lie.
The safe in the Chief's office?
I mean, it doesn't exist anywhere in this world.
- I got rid of everything. - So what is it?
The guitar pick found at the place
where Bang Ju Seon died.
It belongs to Lee Dong Sik. Why did you do it?
My son's
fingerprints were found on it.
At first,
I fabricated the report that identified his fingerprints
and wrote that nothing was found.
But it kept bothering me,
so I got rid of both the pick and the report.
And I got rid of them completely.
Trust me.
Gosh.
I didn't know there was a 21-year-old secret between us.
Seriously, Councilwoman Do!
I don't think you have the right to talk like that though.
- Pardon? - You definitely said
you would take care of Lee Yu Yeon's body,
so we should just leave.
And I thought you did for the last 21 years.
And why was that
found inside the wall in that wench's house?
I can't believe this woman.
You're indeed one charming woman, Councilwoman Do.
I wish nothing bad happens to cause wrinkles on that face.
Are you sure Nam Sang Bae is lying
about the report in the safe?
Are you sure it's not there?
I just said it was perfectly taken care of.
I spent plenty of money on that.
Perfectly?
If you had killed a person, it would have been barely perfect.
Kill?
A person?
Once Chief Nam starts digging into this,
Lee Dong Sik will start moving.
- What should we do? - No one is moving.
If I take care of him early on, nothing's going to happen.
I'll show you what "perfect" is.
That number is
the number I used 21 years ago.
Should I just kill this woman?
Jeong Je found it out,
and Han Ju Won and Lee Dong Sik
also found it out.
Awesome. This is just great.
You said if you take care of him early on,
nothing's going to happen.
Is this nothing?
Lee Dong Sik, that punk, is
frantically watching for a chance to eat my son alive.
- So why did Nam Sang Bae - What about Nam Sang Bae?
What did I do to him?
Where's your son now?
I'll take care of my son.
Since when did you take care of anything?
You didn't take care of anything 21 years ago.
By any chance, did you put him
in the same hospital from 21 years ago?
That's nonsense.
- So tell me where he is. - Come on.
He's not a kid, and he has a job.
Nothing good will happen if the opposing candidate's camp
finds out that Jeong Je is in a mental hospital.
You didn't put him
in a regular hospital, did you?
With some medication, he will get better soon.
He doesn't need to be put in a closed ward. That's too much.
- Hey, lady. - Chairman Lee, please.
Your child is a time bomb.
Do you want me to take care of him perfectly?
Hey! Secretary Jang!
(Emergency Medical Center)
What
Mr. Park, are you all right?
Deer I
Deer I definitely
Sir, please get ahold of yourself.
Let's go back to the hospital.
No.
Let's go. Now.
Lee Dong Sik said you can stay in the basement.
In the basement?
Why? Do you want to go somewhere else?
Not really.
How's Hansong Mental Hospital?
The reason why you were hospitalized
is because you killed a human that looked like a deer.
You said earlier, "Deer I definitely"
Right?
All I remember is that I saw a deer.
That's all.
Even when Lee Dong Sik was told
that you lied about your past,
he didn't suspect you.
He rather told me to snap out of it
and that I must bring him conclusive evidence.
And I'm sure he will say the same now.
Until we have conclusive evidence,
whatever it is that you did,
he won't question you first.
I
I really don't remember
anything else.
I don't believe that.
Somehow,
you keep bothering me.
But I'm not going to do anything for now.
I don't want to act foolishly again.
Chief Nam once told me this.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
If people like us with police authority act foolishly,
we could not only hurt ourselves but also hurt others.
And that's
what I have done to him.
I will not do something like that ever again.
So try to get your memories back as soon as possible.
Escape from the nightmare where your life feels like death,
and confess everything to Lee Dong Sik.
He is still
waiting.
Is this a Munju resident meeting?
Are you a member of this group too, Inspector Han?
He was the last person to join
the substation.
How could you leave me out of this?
Officer Lee, this is very upsetting.
How could you be suspicious of me?
Inspector Hwang.
You're only here because you kept saying you were innocent.
So will you be quiet already?
Officer Yoon, did you hear?
These guys, Constable Oh and Ms. Yoo,
tailed me.
Let's say Constable Oh had his reasons.
But seriously, Ms. Yoo, I'm so disappointed in you.
What do you mean I had my reasons?
How could I ever harm the chief?
How could you even suspect me for that?
I'm Hwang Gwang Yeong.
I come from a family of public officials.
My dad worked as a level-eight public official in his hometown.
And my fiancee is a teacher.
She teaches elementary school kids.
This is already exhausting.
- You got that right. - Don't listen to him, my baby.
Who wants more water?
I'll get going.
Where do you think you're going?
I told you. This is what Manyang people are like.
What happens in Manyang stays in Manyang.
We can't stand seeing anyone attack our locals.
We gather together and get rid of our enemy first.
But when there's no outsider, you're always fighting each other.
I'm from Manyang too.
Seon Nyeo, I'm sorry for asking you to come all the way here.
No, it's okay. I wanted to do what I could to help.
I received a parcel from Chief Nam.
A parcel?
He must've sent it before he passed away.
He wrote that he hopes our child
will be born into a world
that isn't so cold and harsh.
I'd be shameless not to do anything.
I'm sorry.
My hormones are all over the place now that I'm almost due.
Thank you so much.
I'll begin then.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I think Lee Yu Yeon was hit by a car.
Judging by the cadaver, I could tell
that she had multiple fractures on both her shins,
cervical vertebrae, and her neck.
You can also get these types of fractures
if someone falls to their death from somewhere very high up.
But in those cases,
it's also very common to see a fracture in the skull.
But there were no signs of that in Lee Yu Yeon's skull.
Do you know what kind of vehicle she could've been hit by?
Yes. Here.
Do you see how her shinbones are broken in half?
Judging by the butterfly-shaped fracture,
it seems like she was hit by the bumper.
And both her shinbones were equally fractured
right below her knees.
The bumper on a sedan is around 50cm above the ground.
But if it makes a sudden stop, the car leans forward a bit,
and the bumper dips down.
That's exactly where her shinbones were fractured.
That means she was hit by a sedan.
In order for anyone to get these severe fractures,
they'd have to get hit by a car that's driving over 45km per hour.
The incident happened in 2000.
Back then, there weren't a lot of street lights here.
That means she ran in the dark.
I think Lee Yu Yeon
was standing still.
If she was walking or running,
only one of her legs would've gotten fractured.
Either that or the location of both fractures would've been different.
I'm pretty sure
Lee Yu Yeon was facing the car directly.
- Bye. - We'll be off now.
You should go. Go on.
- I I can also be of help. - Come on.
- Bye. - Goodness.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be okay?
I ran into Mr. Park Jeong Je.
I dropped him off in front of your house.
And I told him you allowed him to sleep in the basement.
The basement?
When did I ever say that?
I don't ever recall saying that.
If he had anything to do with the death of your sister,
don't you think that'd be the most ideal place
to help him get his memory back?
"The most ideal place"?
Are you reluctant because that was where your sister was found?
Or are you just worried about Mr. Park as a friend?
I heard he's in a very unstable state right now.
If we keep cornering him, he might lose it and end up
That's something for Jeong Je to bear.
He knew that the number of the burner phone
was his mother's, but he didn't tell anyone.
He was also in a mental hospital for four years after the incident.
That means he was mentally shocked due to the incident.
Well, yes. But
Then it's time for him to remember.
What have you been doing for the past 20 years?
If someone told you they saw someone similar,
you'd run over there only to end up getting disappointed.
Then you'd do the same thing after another absurd phone call.
You and Jeong Je watched him do that for years.
If he really doesn't remember anything,
I bet he'd want to find out more than anyone.
Let's stop pitying him when it doesn't do him any good.
Mr. Han.
You did the right thing.
My gosh.
I heard you found something new.
Yes. Just a second.
You know the building located behind Munju Police Station?
Here's a certified copy of the real estate register.
Someone owned the building before JL Construction did.
Guess who it was that sold the building to Lee Chang Jin.
- Do Hae Won? - That's right.
She bought it in 1999.
And it turns out she sold it to Lee Chang Jin
in November 2000, which was right after the incident.
She pretty much gave it away since it was half the market price.
That's located in the center of the city.
Isn't that the most expensive land in Munju?
I bet that area is included in the development project.
Was this the only building she sold to him?
I'm sure there are other buildings that are included in the project.
Councilwoman Do started buying buildings near that area
ever since 1999.
But during the past 20 years, she sold about two-thirds of it.
- To whom? - Lee Chang Jin.
Jung Cheol Mun.
And Lee Gang Ja.
Who's Lee Gang Ja?
Ms. Lee, I'm only going to ask you this once.
Who did you borrow all the yuans you used
to make the bet?
That darn Fifth Amendment!
(The suspect mentioned above will be arrested for)
(Name: Lee Gang Ja, Job: Unemployed)
Officer Cho's wife,
Ms. Lee Gang Ja.
That means she gave it to Cho Gil Gu.
Yes, she gave him a patch of land instead of money.
She gave him land?
That means it's either 1 of the 2.
She was either blackmailed,
or she paid him in return for doing something for her.
Superintendent Jung received his land for a dirt-cheap price.
Then why don't you investigate him first?
Jung Cheol Mun received bribes
even when he worked in Seoul.
Oh, right. Rumors say that's why he got transferred here.
He pretty much got demoted.
It won't be easy to get anything out of him.
You're right.
Let's say Mr. Cho and Superintendent Jung
helped Councilwoman Do get rid of the case report.
But why do you think she gave her land to Lee Chang Jin?
I was going to pressure him to tell me.
But my darn ex-husband won't answer my calls.
When did Councilwoman Do give her land to Mr. Cho?
In 2020.
Mr. Cho said he only did what he was told
and that he passed on the report.
I don't know if Councilwoman Do got blackmailed by him
or gave him that land in return for a favor,
but if it really had anything to do with the missing case report,
it's strange that she gave it to him in 2020.
You're right. The incident occurred in 2000.
What if
it wasn't just in 2020?
You think he received stuff from her by blackmailing her ever since 2000?
For 20 years?
How are we going to prove that?
Didn't Ms. Lee Gang Ja get arrested
the day I got reinstated?
(Economic Crime Investigation Team)
I don't get why we're here right now.
- Exactly. - Me neither.
- What is this for? - I'm really innocent.
Gosh, those ladies are so feisty.
It's driving me crazy.
Do you have anything?
- Why do you ask? - No reason.
Ji Hwa.
Thanks to you, I'm going to get a promotion.
What?
Follow me.
The Chinese people
who gave those ladies the money for their gambling?
They're known as the Da Ge Gang,
the gang even the Seoul Agency was after.
Thank you. Right.
- And here you go. - Okay.
Make sure you get them to the end. Don't let Seoul snatch them.
And you? What will you do with Lee Gang Ja's account statement?
Are you going to look through all 20 years of her history?
I'll manage.
Yes, sure. Go ahead.
Anyway, I owe you big time. Thank you.
I'll make sure I pay you back for this.
Stop. Stop right there.
What?
I'll hold you to your words right now.
What?
I heard you'll be promoted soon.
Shoot.
You know that
Ms. Lee Gang Ja has nothing to do with the Da Ge Gang.
She got fooled, gave them her bank account number,
then took some commission for currency exchange.
I think you can end her case with a suspension of indictment.
That could be a possibility.
Make sure she is punished by the law,
but don't be so scary when you question her.
Yes, all right. I'll question her myself.
- Thanks a lot. - Goodness.
Oh, how may I help you?
Dong Sik, you were here too.
Here's 20 years of account history from Ms. Lee Gang Ja's bank account.
Thanks.
As you already know, we got your wife into this.
- You can blame us if you wish. - No.
I heard you asking him to go easy on her.
It's all my fault. I can't blame anyone else.
I'm the one to blame.
We'll look at every single transaction she made
in her bank account starting from 2000.
You'll see that she got paid.
By Do Hae Won?
Dong Sik, you know my daughter.
You adored her too.
She wanted to do a million things, but she didn't have a great dad.
I was making a living all alone, and constables don't get paid much.
What kind of utter nonsense is he saying, Ji Hwa?
This story sounds awfully familiar.
I've heard it from an officer who robbed
a jeweler's in his jurisdiction
and a crazy officer who instigated an abduction of a rich friend,
who also told the kidnapper
how he can lose police officers.
Forget the fact that
police officers get paid with taxpayers' money.
We all start with the same salary,
and we do not make a choice like the one you did, Mr. Cho.
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Dong Sik, I'm so sorry.
You don't have to bow your head to me.
Do Hae Won isn't an idiot.
She wouldn't have sent you money under her name.
But you know, Mr. Cho.
You know that I'll cling onto this tenaciously.
You know that I'll rip this apart.
You know that
I'll never forget what you did.
So don't you forget either.
That man, Nam Sang Bae.
Don't ever forget him.
Dong Sik, I'm sorry.
I deserve to die.
But I
only called her and sent her a message.
I have no idea why he was at the junkyard.
I really don't know.
He wanted to see me over that test report,
so all I did was sending that message to Do Hae Won.
I can tell you everything,
but I can't turn myself in, Dong Sik.
I need to let my daughter get married.
I'll quit my job,
give up on getting my pension,
and move far away with my wife.
I can't believe him.
Did you hand over the report
to Do Hae Won back in 2000?
It's from Superintendent Jung.
I gave her the original.
(NFS, For authorized personnel only)
Then I got something else in return.
My child is my mortal enemy.
(Gyeonggi 30S 6549)
- Is that from the guitar pick? - Yes.
Okay. Great work.
I gave that to Chief Nam.
(DNA Test Report)
What is this? Nothing?
You fabricated the report?
What was in the original?
I don't know that. I mean it.
I was told not to open it, and I didn't.
You just switched out the report,
and Do Hae Won paid you for the last 20 years?
Well
I just
- took a very nice guess. - About what?
She once said something like this to me.
"Our children are our mortal enemies."
That's why I figured there was evidence
that Jeong Je was the culprit on that guitar pick.
Get up.
Get up, you jerk.
Get up.
Get up, you jerk.
Dong Sik.
You.
- Did you kill Yu Yeon? - No.
No, I'm not sure.
- You aren't sure? - Dong Sik.
I really don't remember.
I thought I really hit a deer
And not a person that looked like a deer?
It was
It was
It was a deer. I'm sure of it. It was a deer.
Then why has your mom been paying people for 20 years?
- What? - Why has she been paying
jerks like Cho Gil Gu, Jung Cheol Mun, and Lee Chang Jin?
Why did she keep saying
her child is her mortal enemy, while continuously paying them?
What was found on that guitar pick?
My guitar pick found at Bang Ju Seon's murder scene.
What about you did they find?
I don't know.
I really don't
I really don't know.
You don't know, you never know, you can't remember,
you don't know anything!
Do you
Do you think I never asked you anything
only to get that absurd answer from you?
Dong Sik.
I really
I never asked you why you did that
or why you haven't told me.
Even when you lied and said
you were with me on the night Min Jung died.
Even when I found out
that you were with Min Jung on that night.
Even when I found out about how you lied and said
you were in the US when you were locked up in a mental hospital.
I tore that house down.
You saw
You saw how I
finally found Yu Yeon there.
Even then,
I didn't ask you.
I gave you many chances.
But you
will never say a word to me even as you gulp down those drugs.
You just don't know. You don't remember.
- You don't know a darned thing! - Dong Sik.
I really
don't remember.
"You said Lee Dong Sik"
"was a very good friend."
"Is that true?"
(Question: You said Lee Dong Sik was a very good friend.)
"Yes, that's true."
"Do you know anything about the guitar pick Lee Dong Sik used?"
"Yes,"
"I remember he boasted about it the day he bought it."
"Did Lee Dong Sik play the guitar at the cabin the day before?"
I'm not sure.
"Was there a time that Lee Dong Sik took that guitar pick out?"
I'm not sure.
"Do you know Lee Yu Yeon, Dong Sik's sister?"
"Did you know her well?"
I don't want to go in. Can you come out?
"Was Lee Yu Yeon dating someone?"
"Were you in regular contact with Lee Yu Yeon?"
"Did you ever send or receive texts to and from Lee Yu Yeon?"
"Was there ever a time you met Lee Yu Yeon alone, outside?"
"011-0780-1234."
"Do you know anything about this phone number?"
To all the yes or no questions you were asked,
you always responded that you didn't know anything.
Do you really not know?
You really don't know anything? Nothing at all?
You don't know anything?
You really don't know?
Jeong Je. Park Jeong Je!
Park Jeong Je!
How can you call me out when Dong Sik is home?
- Were you drinking? - Yes.
- My brother too? - Yes.
Did you call me all the way here just to show me this side of you?
When you go to college
and I go to the States, I won't be able to see you.
I'll miss my girlfriend so much.
The States?
Yu Yeon, today is the day.
Your brother is sleeping over there.
Let's go in and tell him that we're dating.
011-0780-1234.
(I don't want to go in. Can you come out?)
First, stop hiding this from your mother, then ask to go public.
- What? - I'm going.
Don't follow me.
Darn it. Hey.
I really won't follow you.
Yu Yeon, I told you.
I really won't follow you.
Gosh.
What's so scary about this jerk?
Yu Yeon.
I
killed her.
I
killed Yu Yeon with my car
when she was collapsed on the ground.
Yu Yeon
Dong Sik.
Dong Sik, just kill me.
All right. I got it, you jerk.
Kill me.
Just
kill me, please.
I came right away after your text.
I heard Park Jeong Je confessed.
Where is he?
I'm sure he's at home, with his mother.
What do you mean?
You sent him home?
I told him to go.
Are you insane?
You said he confessed to killing Yu Yeon.
We need to get him to the station, get his confession, and punish him.
What are you doing?
What? What about me?
What are you planning?
Are you using Park Jeong Je as bait?
Are you plotting something again?
Can't I do that?
Haven't you learned anything?
Chief Nam was murdered.
We don't know who else will end up being killed,
and you're starting this all over again?
All I've learned is thieving.
What will you do if Park Jeong Je and Do Hae Won join forces?
Those two are family.
What will you do
if Park Jeong Je doesn't do what you think he will?
Do you
still trust Park Jeong Je?
Even after learning the truth,
how can you still trust him?
Inspector Han,
what about you?
If your family
did something unthinkable,
would you
help them out?
What
are you trying to say?
You're not someone who places great value on family.
Does that mean
I can trust you, Ju Won?
Enough for that trust to stay intact
despite knowing the truth?

- Get on your knees. - That's absurd.

Do you remember the higher-ups that Cho Gil Gu mentioned?

Are you sure the hearing will go well?
Why don't you come work for me, Inspector Lee Dong Sik?

Mr. Lee, shouldn't we go there?
Russian junkies are causing a scene at the nightclub.
My goodness. How many households are there?
Can you see that?
Boss ordered us to take care of the junkies. All right?
Hey, idiot.
Listen to me.
My goodness.
All right.
When I was a little boy,
when I couldn't even speak Korean very well,
I helped my mom and dad's business
pretending that I speak Russian.
Is it funny?
No. sir. It's admirable.
That little boy
worked at Texas and Russian Street.
While he worked in a tiny street stall,
he promised himself
that he would never spend his life
in a dump like that.
That he'd own land that's so big that there's no end in sight.
And that he would rule his own land.
Look at that apartment building. That's not enough for me.
I would build a whole town.
And I would name the town after me. Changjin-ri!
No.
- Jin Li. How does Jin Li sound? - It's great.
It's great, isn't it?
So you're here again.
Didn't you answer Boss's call?
Russian customers are on drugs and making a mess
at the hotel nightclub.
So?
So?
You're the one who speaks Russian.
I guess you learned rubbish Russian on a backstreet somehow.
But you're lucky that you did.
Director, so why don't you go take care of them?
I've washed my hands from the nightclub business.
Got it?
You jerk.
I tried to be nice to you since you're from Seoul.
But how dare you tell me what to do?
Where exactly are you from? Cheongnyang-ri? Maljuk Street?
You're in Yeonpo now!

If we don't start the construction of Munju project,

Because when the truth kicks in,
that trust will be shattered anyway?

(JL Lee Chang Jin)
(JL Lee Chang Jin)
So you looked up the investigation report?
Yes, sir. In order to find the lead to the DNA test report,
I looked through the reports on the cases from 2000,
the disappearance of Lee Yu Yeon and the murder of Bang Ju Seon.
You said Chief Nam Sang Bae
asked if you destroyed
- the DNA test report, correct? - Yes.
The report he meant was
probably the test report for a guitar pick.
- The test report on a guitar pick? - Yes, sir.
On October 15, 2000,
at the reed field by Munju Stream where Bang Ju Seon was found,
a guitar pick was also found.
Chief Nam Sang Bae had spotted it himself.
Right here. On the investigation reports
for Lee Yu Yeon and Bang Ju Seon's cases,
you'll see a part regarding the guitar pick.
According to Oh Yeong Ah, a coworker
who worked at the cafe with Bang Ju Seon,
the guitar pick belonged to Lee Dong Sik.
Yes, I think I remember that.
That's why he was arrested without a warrant.
Yes, I also found a record
of Lee Dong Sik admitting that it belonged to him.
Park Jeong Je gave the same testimony.
However, I found something out of the ordinary.
- Out of the ordinary? - Yes, sir.
According to the case report for Bang Ju Seon's case,
there was nothing detected from the guitar pick,
no fingerprints or DNA.
Although Lee Dong Sik used it the day before in the afternoon
at Manyang Cafe,
and he also stated that was his only guitar pick.
I heard he had a habit of wiping it after he used it.
Even so, if he put it in the guitar case,
something had to be on the guitar pick.
But no, I heard nothing was found on it.
You heard nothing was found on it?
No. I was able to find all the other DNA test reports,
but the report for the guitar pick
wasn't a part of the case file.
(No DNA or other evidence was found on the guitar pick.)
Did you get rid of the test report?
What?
The test report from 21 years ago.
So he was looking for this?
Do you think someone destroyed that report?
That report didn't have any admissibility of evidence.
Lee's fingerprints or DNA
weren't found on it.
If he was arrested just because it belonged to him,
I'd say it's a bit of a stretch in the investigation.
Right.
Do you think that's why?
Maybe someone wanted to cover up their mistake in the investigation.
Are you holding the officer in charge responsible?
In other words, it sounds like I gave an order to destroy that
as the superintendent of Munju Police Station.
You asked me to conduct a thorough investigation,
so I am thoroughly raising a question as you requested.
If I gave the order to have the report destroyed,
I wouldn't have made you begin investigating this.
Before I did that,
I would've crossed out this part first.
"E. Requested to have the guitar pick tested."
"The guitar pick found next to Bang Ju Seon was"
"sent for testing."
"No DNA or other evidence was"
"found on the guitar pick."
I'm aware of that. I wanted to ask just to make sure.
I doubt the police or the prosecution
gave the order to have the report destroyed.
If it was an insider in those two institutions,
they would've crossed out what's on the investigation report.
That's why I'd like to ask you one more question.
Are you looking into this case only because Chief Nam Sang Bae,
a police officer was murdered?
- Or do you have another reason? - What?
You seemed to be very concerned about this case.
In that case,
I think I should be prepared.
So it'd be better if I know the reason.
I think Ju Won is
Excuse me? Yes.
I think he's investigating with Officer Lee Dong Sik.
Actually, Office Lee is not the only one.
A few officers of Manyang Police Substation
and some officers of Munju Police Station are in it too.
So maybe I should assign them to the case.
A police officer was murdered.
I'm sure they'll conduct a thorough investigation.
But they say the skin is nearer than the shirt.
So I was worried if they investigate with a biased point of view,
it would cause trouble for the entire police force.
Do you think it was a mistake to assign you to the case
when you are so busy?
No. A mistake? It wasn't a mistake.
I'm always ready to do anything for you, sir.
So I am doing my best to make a thorough investigation.
Let me know if you find anything.
Put these away.
Certainly, sir. I'll put them away.
(JL Lee Chang Jin)
I thought you'd be at the hospital where Park Jeong Je is.
Why are you here?
"The one who killed Kang Jin Mook will kill me as well."
It's what Chief Nam said.
What do you think he was trying to say?
That someone induced Kang Jin Mook to commit suicide.
And that if he pursues the missing test report for the guitar pick,
he would die as well.
Do you think Kang Jin Mook knew about the test report?
Kang Jin Mook wasn't an officer.
So he couldn't have known about the test report.
But maybe he did know something about the guitar pick.
I think Chief went to see Kang Jin Mook to ask him about it.
But he couldn't because he was already dead.
So it's not about the report, but about the guitar pick.
Maybe Kang Jin Mook saw something
related to the guitar pick.
I looked into the case file from 2000.
I read the record of your statement as a testifier.
You said on October 14,
you used the guitar pick at Manyang Cafe
around 4:30pm the day Lee Yu Yeon went missing.
The officer asked if you had used it after that,
and you said you didn't remember.
I really don't remember.
You also said you put the guitar pick in the guitar case
after you used it at the cafe.
You said you went to the cabin at the deer farm
in Mount Simju.
You said you stayed in the cabin
at the estimated time of the accident.
Did you say you looked into the case file?
It seems like you memorized the whole statement.
It's just that I have a good memory.
What I want to know is
how your guitar pick ended up
next to Bang Ju Seon's dead body.
If someone dropped it there
Was I at the scene?
Stop joking.
Gosh, did it sound like a joke and not a confession, Inspector Han?
Are you making a confession?
If that's what you want to believe, go ahead.
Something bothers me about Park Jeong Je.
The one who was with you at the cabin that day.
The one who had access to your guitar case.
Didn't the statement say that person
was with me at the estimated time of the accident?
That's why I said it bothers me.
Like I said before, the hospital record also
You know what? Something else bothers me.
It wasn't there the day Kang Jin Mook died.
But a security camera was suddenly installed at that building.
Yes. It's been bothering me too.
Hello.
How is Jeong Je? I heard he was in bad shape yesterday.
He's in the hospital now. I'm sure he'll be okay.
Did you look into it?
I guess I can't get rid of the leech.
A leech? What do you mean?
JL Construction owns that building.
JL? Are you talking about Lee Chang Jin?
So where is the leech right now?
He answers my calls in three seconds.
But suddenly he's out of reach.
When I got into your car, 2820, last night,
(54M 3786)
I think I saw that car.
(54M 3786)
Why should I pull my car out of my parking lot?
Who are you people?
What is this about?
Did you drive this vehicle last night?
Last night?
No, I brought it from the repair shop early in the morning.
Why did you bring it from the repair shop?
- Well - Were you in an accident?
- Hit and run? - There was no hit and run.
It's my boss' car.
He said he hit something with the back of his car.
But it's not like he hit someone.
Do you work at JL Construction?
What? Yes.
And your boss is Lee Chang Jin, right?
Yes.
So he was with us last night.
(My Ji Hwa, HKH)
This little
Answer your phone. I need to talk to you.
My goodness.
What are you doing in my office when I'm absent?
Then you should be here in your office!
You're crossing the line, Chairman Lee.
What?
How dare you talk to me that way, you little punk?
I'm not a punk. I'm Jang Oh Bok.
The chivalrous fighter, Jang Oh Bok.
He's a hidden master
from the period of King Yeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty.
I know all about it.
My chivalrous fighter, Jang Oh Bok.
Stay outside. Don't come in before I ask for you.
Ma'am, if you feel threatened,
just yell for me.
Is it because you always collect crazy guys?
Or is it because he stayed with you long enough to go crazy?
I'm not feeling very well today.
So I won't be able to tolerate your nonsense.
Why aren't you feeling well?
Because of your son?
What about my son?
I saw your son being carried away in an ambulance last night.
Lee Dong Sik and Han Ju Won were watching.
So why did you avoid my calls last night?
Do you think it's okay to keep secrets from me?
I'm sure Jeong Je doesn't remember anything.
I can assure you.
What doesn't he remember?
About that day.
That day?
That day from 21 years ago.
So why are you talking about the old days?
Do you remember the burner phone I use?
The phone I answered when I was with you.
(The day Nam Sang Bae died)
Could you just answer your phone?
I think it's your informant you bragged about the other day.
Just answer the phone.
Yes.
Why did you answer so late?
Cho Gil Gu.
I know I'm not supposed to call you.
But this is an emergency.
What is it now? Is your daughter studying abroad
suddenly getting married or something?
If it's not an important matter, let's talk later.
Later, later, later.
Superintendent Jung isn't answering my calls.
You two can't get away like this.
Do you think I'll let you put all the blame on me?
Put the blame on you? What are you talking about?
Chief Nam figured it all out.
He knows the test report for the guitar pick has gone missing.
He said it was in his safe.
The safe they searched two days ago.
What does that mean?
What do you mean it was in his safe?
A text message?
Nam Sang Bae did?
All right. Take a screenshot of it
and send the image to me.
I said all right.
I'm going to take care of it.
(The one I kept in the safe at my office disappeared.)
(The same one you got rid of before. They'll blame you. Let's talk.)
Chairman Lee, it's
I mean it's
Well, this is just
The same one you got rid of?
Back then
I had no choice.
Jeong Je couldn't become the culprit, could he?
The development plan would have been canceled too, you know.
This is all a lie.
The safe in the Chief's office?
I mean, it doesn't exist anywhere in this world.
- I got rid of everything. - So what is it?
The guitar pick found at the place
where Bang Ju Seon died.
It belongs to Lee Dong Sik. Why did you do it?
My son's
fingerprints were found on it.
At first,
I fabricated the report that identified his fingerprints
and wrote that nothing was found.
But it kept bothering me,
so I got rid of both the pick and the report.
And I got rid of them completely.
Trust me.
Gosh.
I didn't know there was a 21-year-old secret between us.
Seriously, Councilwoman Do!
I don't think you have the right to talk like that though.
- Pardon? - You definitely said
you would take care of Lee Yu Yeon's body,
so we should just leave.
And I thought you did for the last 21 years.
And why was that
found inside the wall in that wench's house?
I can't believe this woman.
You're indeed one charming woman, Councilwoman Do.
I wish nothing bad happens to cause wrinkles on that face.
Are you sure Nam Sang Bae is lying
about the report in the safe?
Are you sure it's not there?
I just said it was perfectly taken care of.
I spent plenty of money on that.
Perfectly?
If you had killed a person, it would have been barely perfect.
Kill?
A person?
Once Chief Nam starts digging into this,
Lee Dong Sik will start moving.
- What should we do? - No one is moving.
If I take care of him early on, nothing's going to happen.
I'll show you what "perfect" is.
That number is
the number I used 21 years ago.
Should I just kill this woman?
Jeong Je found it out,
and Han Ju Won and Lee Dong Sik
also found it out.
Awesome. This is just great.
You said if you take care of him early on,
nothing's going to happen.
Is this nothing?
Lee Dong Sik, that punk, is
frantically watching for a chance to eat my son alive.
- So why did Nam Sang Bae - What about Nam Sang Bae?
What did I do to him?
Where's your son now?
I'll take care of my son.
Since when did you take care of anything?
You didn't take care of anything 21 years ago.
By any chance, did you put him
in the same hospital from 21 years ago?
That's nonsense.
- So tell me where he is. - Come on.
He's not a kid, and he has a job.
Nothing good will happen if the opposing candidate's camp
finds out that Jeong Je is in a mental hospital.
You didn't put him
in a regular hospital, did you?
With some medication, he will get better soon.
He doesn't need to be put in a closed ward. That's too much.
- Hey, lady. - Chairman Lee, please.
Your child is a time bomb.
Do you want me to take care of him perfectly?
Hey! Secretary Jang!
(Emergency Medical Center)
What
Mr. Park, are you all right?
Deer I
Deer I definitely
Sir, please get ahold of yourself.
Let's go back to the hospital.
No.
Let's go. Now.
Lee Dong Sik said you can stay in the basement.
In the basement?
Why? Do you want to go somewhere else?
Not really.
How's Hansong Mental Hospital?
The reason why you were hospitalized
is because you killed a human that looked like a deer.
You said earlier, "Deer I definitely"
Right?
All I remember is that I saw a deer.
That's all.
Even when Lee Dong Sik was told
that you lied about your past,
he didn't suspect you.
He rather told me to snap out of it
and that I must bring him conclusive evidence.
And I'm sure he will say the same now.
Until we have conclusive evidence,
whatever it is that you did,
he won't question you first.
I
I really don't remember
anything else.
I don't believe that.
Somehow,
you keep bothering me.
But I'm not going to do anything for now.
I don't want to act foolishly again.
Chief Nam once told me this.
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
If people like us with police authority act foolishly,
we could not only hurt ourselves but also hurt others.
And that's
what I have done to him.
I will not do something like that ever again.
So try to get your memories back as soon as possible.
Escape from the nightmare where your life feels like death,
and confess everything to Lee Dong Sik.
He is still
waiting.
Is this a Munju resident meeting?
Are you a member of this group too, Inspector Han?
He was the last person to join
the substation.
How could you leave me out of this?
Officer Lee, this is very upsetting.
How could you be suspicious of me?
Inspector Hwang.
You're only here because you kept saying you were innocent.
So will you be quiet already?
Officer Yoon, did you hear?
These guys, Constable Oh and Ms. Yoo,
tailed me.
Let's say Constable Oh had his reasons.
But seriously, Ms. Yoo, I'm so disappointed in you.
What do you mean I had my reasons?
How could I ever harm the chief?
How could you even suspect me for that?
I'm Hwang Gwang Yeong.
I come from a family of public officials.
My dad worked as a level-eight public official in his hometown.
And my fiancee is a teacher.
She teaches elementary school kids.
This is already exhausting.
- You got that right. - Don't listen to him, my baby.
Who wants more water?
I'll get going.
Where do you think you're going?
I told you. This is what Manyang people are like.
What happens in Manyang stays in Manyang.
We can't stand seeing anyone attack our locals.
We gather together and get rid of our enemy first.
But when there's no outsider, you're always fighting each other.
I'm from Manyang too.
Seon Nyeo, I'm sorry for asking you to come all the way here.
No, it's okay. I wanted to do what I could to help.
I received a parcel from Chief Nam.
A parcel?
He must've sent it before he passed away.
He wrote that he hopes our child
will be born into a world
that isn't so cold and harsh.
I'd be shameless not to do anything.
I'm sorry.
My hormones are all over the place now that I'm almost due.
Thank you so much.
I'll begin then.
Are you sure you'll be okay?
I think Lee Yu Yeon was hit by a car.
Judging by the cadaver, I could tell
that she had multiple fractures on both her shins,
cervical vertebrae, and her neck.
You can also get these types of fractures
if someone falls to their death from somewhere very high up.
But in those cases,
it's also very common to see a fracture in the skull.
But there were no signs of that in Lee Yu Yeon's skull.
Do you know what kind of vehicle she could've been hit by?
Yes. Here.
Do you see how her shinbones are broken in half?
Judging by the butterfly-shaped fracture,
it seems like she was hit by the bumper.
And both her shinbones were equally fractured
right below her knees.
The bumper on a sedan is around 50cm above the ground.
But if it makes a sudden stop, the car leans forward a bit,
and the bumper dips down.
That's exactly where her shinbones were fractured.
That means she was hit by a sedan.
In order for anyone to get these severe fractures,
they'd have to get hit by a car that's driving over 45km per hour.
The incident happened in 2000.
Back then, there weren't a lot of street lights here.
That means she ran in the dark.
I think Lee Yu Yeon
was standing still.
If she was walking or running,
only one of her legs would've gotten fractured.
Either that or the location of both fractures would've been different.
I'm pretty sure
Lee Yu Yeon was facing the car directly.
- Bye. - We'll be off now.
You should go. Go on.
- I I can also be of help. - Come on.
- Bye. - Goodness.
Are you okay?
Why wouldn't I be okay?
I ran into Mr. Park Jeong Je.
I dropped him off in front of your house.
And I told him you allowed him to sleep in the basement.
The basement?
When did I ever say that?
I don't ever recall saying that.
If he had anything to do with the death of your sister,
don't you think that'd be the most ideal place
to help him get his memory back?
"The most ideal place"?
Are you reluctant because that was where your sister was found?
Or are you just worried about Mr. Park as a friend?
I heard he's in a very unstable state right now.
If we keep cornering him, he might lose it and end up
That's something for Jeong Je to bear.
He knew that the number of the burner phone
was his mother's, but he didn't tell anyone.
He was also in a mental hospital for four years after the incident.
That means he was mentally shocked due to the incident.
Well, yes. But
Then it's time for him to remember.
What have you been doing for the past 20 years?
If someone told you they saw someone similar,
you'd run over there only to end up getting disappointed.
Then you'd do the same thing after another absurd phone call.
You and Jeong Je watched him do that for years.
If he really doesn't remember anything,
I bet he'd want to find out more than anyone.
Let's stop pitying him when it doesn't do him any good.
Mr. Han.
You did the right thing.
My gosh.
I heard you found something new.
Yes. Just a second.
You know the building located behind Munju Police Station?
Here's a certified copy of the real estate register.
Someone owned the building before JL Construction did.
Guess who it was that sold the building to Lee Chang Jin.
- Do Hae Won? - That's right.
She bought it in 1999.
And it turns out she sold it to Lee Chang Jin
in November 2000, which was right after the incident.
She pretty much gave it away since it was half the market price.
That's located in the center of the city.
Isn't that the most expensive land in Munju?
I bet that area is included in the development project.
Was this the only building she sold to him?
I'm sure there are other buildings that are included in the project.
Councilwoman Do started buying buildings near that area
ever since 1999.
But during the past 20 years, she sold about two-thirds of it.
- To whom? - Lee Chang Jin.
Jung Cheol Mun.
And Lee Gang Ja.
Who's Lee Gang Ja?
Ms. Lee, I'm only going to ask you this once.
Who did you borrow all the yuans you used
to make the bet?
That darn Fifth Amendment!
(The suspect mentioned above will be arrested for)
(Name: Lee Gang Ja, Job: Unemployed)
Officer Cho's wife,
Ms. Lee Gang Ja.
That means she gave it to Cho Gil Gu.
Yes, she gave him a patch of land instead of money.
She gave him land?
That means it's either 1 of the 2.
She was either blackmailed,
or she paid him in return for doing something for her.
Superintendent Jung received his land for a dirt-cheap price.
Then why don't you investigate him first?
Jung Cheol Mun received bribes
even when he worked in Seoul.
Oh, right. Rumors say that's why he got transferred here.
He pretty much got demoted.
It won't be easy to get anything out of him.
You're right.
Let's say Mr. Cho and Superintendent Jung
helped Councilwoman Do get rid of the case report.
But why do you think she gave her land to Lee Chang Jin?
I was going to pressure him to tell me.
But my darn ex-husband won't answer my calls.
When did Councilwoman Do give her land to Mr. Cho?
In 2020.
Mr. Cho said he only did what he was told
and that he passed on the report.
I don't know if Councilwoman Do got blackmailed by him
or gave him that land in return for a favor,
but if it really had anything to do with the missing case report,
it's strange that she gave it to him in 2020.
You're right. The incident occurred in 2000.
What if
it wasn't just in 2020?
You think he received stuff from her by blackmailing her ever since 2000?
For 20 years?
How are we going to prove that?
Didn't Ms. Lee Gang Ja get arrested
the day I got reinstated?
(Economic Crime Investigation Team)
I don't get why we're here right now.
- Exactly. - Me neither.
- What is this for? - I'm really innocent.
Gosh, those ladies are so feisty.
It's driving me crazy.
Do you have anything?
- Why do you ask? - No reason.
Ji Hwa.
Thanks to you, I'm going to get a promotion.
What?
Follow me.
The Chinese people
who gave those ladies the money for their gambling?
They're known as the Da Ge Gang,
the gang even the Seoul Agency was after.
Thank you. Right.
- And here you go. - Okay.
Make sure you get them to the end. Don't let Seoul snatch them.
And you? What will you do with Lee Gang Ja's account statement?
Are you going to look through all 20 years of her history?
I'll manage.
Yes, sure. Go ahead.
Anyway, I owe you big time. Thank you.
I'll make sure I pay you back for this.
Stop. Stop right there.
What?
I'll hold you to your words right now.
What?
I heard you'll be promoted soon.
Shoot.
You know that
Ms. Lee Gang Ja has nothing to do with the Da Ge Gang.
She got fooled, gave them her bank account number,
then took some commission for currency exchange.
I think you can end her case with a suspension of indictment.
That could be a possibility.
Make sure she is punished by the law,
but don't be so scary when you question her.
Yes, all right. I'll question her myself.
- Thanks a lot. - Goodness.
Oh, how may I help you?
Dong Sik, you were here too.
Here's 20 years of account history from Ms. Lee Gang Ja's bank account.
Thanks.
As you already know, we got your wife into this.
- You can blame us if you wish. - No.
I heard you asking him to go easy on her.
It's all my fault. I can't blame anyone else.
I'm the one to blame.
We'll look at every single transaction she made
in her bank account starting from 2000.
You'll see that she got paid.
By Do Hae Won?
Dong Sik, you know my daughter.
You adored her too.
She wanted to do a million things, but she didn't have a great dad.
I was making a living all alone, and constables don't get paid much.
What kind of utter nonsense is he saying, Ji Hwa?
This story sounds awfully familiar.
I've heard it from an officer who robbed
a jeweler's in his jurisdiction
and a crazy officer who instigated an abduction of a rich friend,
who also told the kidnapper
how he can lose police officers.
Forget the fact that
police officers get paid with taxpayers' money.
We all start with the same salary,
and we do not make a choice like the one you did, Mr. Cho.
I'm sorry.
I apologize.
Dong Sik, I'm so sorry.
You don't have to bow your head to me.
Do Hae Won isn't an idiot.
She wouldn't have sent you money under her name.
But you know, Mr. Cho.
You know that I'll cling onto this tenaciously.
You know that I'll rip this apart.
You know that
I'll never forget what you did.
So don't you forget either.
That man, Nam Sang Bae.
Don't ever forget him.
Dong Sik, I'm sorry.
I deserve to die.
But I
only called her and sent her a message.
I have no idea why he was at the junkyard.
I really don't know.
He wanted to see me over that test report,
so all I did was sending that message to Do Hae Won.
I can tell you everything,
but I can't turn myself in, Dong Sik.
I need to let my daughter get married.
I'll quit my job,
give up on getting my pension,
and move far away with my wife.
I can't believe him.
Did you hand over the report
to Do Hae Won back in 2000?
It's from Superintendent Jung.
I gave her the original.
(NFS, For authorized personnel only)
Then I got something else in return.
My child is my mortal enemy.
(Gyeonggi 30S 6549)
- Is that from the guitar pick? - Yes.
Okay. Great work.
I gave that to Chief Nam.
(DNA Test Report)
What is this? Nothing?
You fabricated the report?
What was in the original?
I don't know that. I mean it.
I was told not to open it, and I didn't.
You just switched out the report,
and Do Hae Won paid you for the last 20 years?
Well
I just
- took a very nice guess. - About what?
She once said something like this to me.
"Our children are our mortal enemies."
That's why I figured there was evidence
that Jeong Je was the culprit on that guitar pick.
Get up.
Get up, you jerk.
Get up.
Get up, you jerk.
Dong Sik.
You.
- Did you kill Yu Yeon? - No.
No, I'm not sure.
- You aren't sure? - Dong Sik.
I really don't remember.
I thought I really hit a deer
And not a person that looked like a deer?
It was
It was
It was a deer. I'm sure of it. It was a deer.
Then why has your mom been paying people for 20 years?
- What? - Why has she been paying
jerks like Cho Gil Gu, Jung Cheol Mun, and Lee Chang Jin?
Why did she keep saying
her child is her mortal enemy, while continuously paying them?
What was found on that guitar pick?
My guitar pick found at Bang Ju Seon's murder scene.
What about you did they find?
I don't know.
I really don't
I really don't know.
You don't know, you never know, you can't remember,
you don't know anything!
Do you
Do you think I never asked you anything
only to get that absurd answer from you?
Dong Sik.
I really
I never asked you why you did that
or why you haven't told me.
Even when you lied and said
you were with me on the night Min Jung died.
Even when I found out
that you were with Min Jung on that night.
Even when I found out about how you lied and said
you were in the US when you were locked up in a mental hospital.
I tore that house down.
You saw
You saw how I
finally found Yu Yeon there.
Even then,
I didn't ask you.
I gave you many chances.
But you
will never say a word to me even as you gulp down those drugs.
You just don't know. You don't remember.
- You don't know a darned thing! - Dong Sik.
I really
don't remember.
"You said Lee Dong Sik"
"was a very good friend."
"Is that true?"
(Question: You said Lee Dong Sik was a very good friend.)
"Yes, that's true."
"Do you know anything about the guitar pick Lee Dong Sik used?"
"Yes,"
"I remember he boasted about it the day he bought it."
"Did Lee Dong Sik play the guitar at the cabin the day before?"
I'm not sure.
"Was there a time that Lee Dong Sik took that guitar pick out?"
I'm not sure.
"Do you know Lee Yu Yeon, Dong Sik's sister?"
"Did you know her well?"
I don't want to go in. Can you come out?
"Was Lee Yu Yeon dating someone?"
"Were you in regular contact with Lee Yu Yeon?"
"Did you ever send or receive texts to and from Lee Yu Yeon?"
"Was there ever a time you met Lee Yu Yeon alone, outside?"
"011-0780-1234."
"Do you know anything about this phone number?"
To all the yes or no questions you were asked,
you always responded that you didn't know anything.
Do you really not know?
You really don't know anything? Nothing at all?
You don't know anything?
You really don't know?
Jeong Je. Park Jeong Je!
Park Jeong Je!
How can you call me out when Dong Sik is home?
- Were you drinking? - Yes.
- My brother too? - Yes.
Did you call me all the way here just to show me this side of you?
When you go to college
and I go to the States, I won't be able to see you.
I'll miss my girlfriend so much.
The States?
Yu Yeon, today is the day.
Your brother is sleeping over there.
Let's go in and tell him that we're dating.
011-0780-1234.
(I don't want to go in. Can you come out?)
First, stop hiding this from your mother, then ask to go public.
- What? - I'm going.
Don't follow me.
Darn it. Hey.
I really won't follow you.
Yu Yeon, I told you.
I really won't follow you.
Gosh.
What's so scary about this jerk?
Yu Yeon.
I
killed her.
I
killed Yu Yeon with my car
when she was collapsed on the ground.
Yu Yeon
Dong Sik.
Dong Sik, just kill me.
All right. I got it, you jerk.
Kill me.
Just
kill me, please.
I came right away after your text.
I heard Park Jeong Je confessed.
Where is he?
I'm sure he's at home, with his mother.
What do you mean?
You sent him home?
I told him to go.
Are you insane?
You said he confessed to killing Yu Yeon.
We need to get him to the station, get his confession, and punish him.
What are you doing?
What? What about me?
What are you planning?
Are you using Park Jeong Je as bait?
Are you plotting something again?
Can't I do that?
Haven't you learned anything?
Chief Nam was murdered.
We don't know who else will end up being killed,
and you're starting this all over again?
All I've learned is thieving.
What will you do if Park Jeong Je and Do Hae Won join forces?
Those two are family.
What will you do
if Park Jeong Je doesn't do what you think he will?
Do you
still trust Park Jeong Je?
Even after learning the truth,
how can you still trust him?
Inspector Han,
what about you?
If your family
did something unthinkable,
would you
help them out?
What
are you trying to say?
You're not someone who places great value on family.
Does that mean
I can trust you, Ju Won?
Enough for that trust to stay intact
despite knowing the truth?
