BLACK OU
SNOW WHITE MUST DIE
You can drive, right?
It's okay.
There are no DUI checks tonight.
Why?
Aren't you driving?
I've been summoned by the chief.
It's because we let you go
meet the then police chief
all the way up to
being the police chief,
Chief Hyeon Gu-tak!
The trunk
There were two shovels in there.
Everything will be revealed
if we have those shovels!
Bo-yeong was alive?
When I opened the trunk, Bo-yeong
She was squirming and
trying to say something.
Please help me
But Min-su's dad, Chu-ho,
killed her with the shovel!
Chu-ho killed my Bo-yeong.
So I got vengeance for her.
Once I become governor,
you can join me
as the Head of Public Security.
But first,
please handle that case.
Park Da-eun's grandmother
heard when she was murdered
I could hear his voice.
She heard Goh Jeong-woo's voice!
Goh Jeong-woo is the culprit.
Su-oh, What did you draw here?
Murderer.
You need to resign.
Goh Jeong-woo is the murderer.
The chief definitely said
I was right back then.
Choi Na-gyeom is definitely
in love with you.
But even so,
she's way too obsessed with you
and this case.
There's a lot she's hiding too.
And when we look at
Hyeon Su-oh's drawing,
Choi Na-gyeom was somewhere
in the warehouse that day.
I'm going to report you!
I feel stuffy.
I'm going outside to play.
Su-oh.
I made a secret room for you
that only you will know about.
Want me to show you?
Yang Byeong-mu, come out.
Byeong-mu!
Excuse me, where is he going?
Is it to the prosecutor's office?
He's being taken to the prison
as of today.
As for the criminal investigation,
the prosecutor will decide
whether he needs to be
investigated later.
Not me? Just Byeong-mu?
What more do you need to investigate?
What about him?
Aren't you taking Min-su?
Please just keep it down.
As if they'd know anything.
What else is there to investigate?
Wait
Please let me speak to the chief.
The chief said I could ask
if I ever needed anything.
Please let me call him.
Officer Kang, he wants to make a call.
Yes.
Sir, have you had lunch?
Yeah.
I'm coming in for a minute.
Is this how you're going to escape?
I met Park Da-eun's grandmother.
She said it wasn't Goh Jeong-woo's voice
at the time of the incident.
She said she told you it was
an older man's voice several times.
Why did you do it?
At the time
Everything was Goh Jeong-woo.
What was Goh Jeong-woo?
You didn't even have
any decisive evidence.
The spanner with no fingerprints?
As a police officer,
don't you feel ashamed?
You didn't even meet the conditions
for an emergency arrest.
You didn't even give the kid
a chance to explain.
You coerced him into a confession
by depriving him of sleep!
What was Goh Jeong-woo?
Why did you carry out the
investigation like that
and ruin a young man's life?
Two schoolgirls were killed.
It was the biggest case
of my detective career.
I had to catch the killer
no matter what
I'm sure it was a huge case in Mucheon.
That's why there's no way
you acted alone.
Who was it?
Who ordered you to
frame Goh Jeong-woo?
But this is all just
circumstantial evidence.
Yes, sir.
Hee-do,
what do you think?
It's okay to tell me honestly.
It does seem like Goh Jeong-woo
is the perpetrator.
I think so too.
He is the perpetrator.
Everything points to him
being the killer.
- Yes.
- But
if we pass this case
over to the prosecutors in this state,
they'll acquit him due to
a lack of evidence.
The murder weapon has no fingerprints.
Moreover, we haven't found Shim
Bo-yeong and Park Da-eun's bodies.
A murder with no body?
If he just denies it in court,
he'll be released.
We can't let that happen.
Justice must be served.
Right.
I agree with you.
I believe that everyone
is equal before the law.
Gosh.
He's my friend's son.
It really breaks my heart, but
Don't do the crime
if you can't do the time.
Yes. Of course. For sure.
What do we need right now?
- Evidence?
- Yes, evidence.
Evidence that Jeong-woo
was in the warehouse.
Whether it's hair, clothes or shoes.
Whatever it is, if we can find it,
it'd have a drop of blood on it
at least.
Huh?
If we can just find that
It'll be decisive evidence that
Jeong-woo was with the victim.
Damn.
Hee-do.
Can we find it?
We can find it.
Hey, it's so cold tonight.
Go and eat some rice soup.
It's okay.
Go on.
- Thank you, sir.
- Go.
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah.
Go and eat up.
Team Head!
We found it.
See, I told you!
There had to be some evidence!
Good job!
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
But thinking about it now
Hee-do,
do you regret what happened
11 years ago?
But it was because you
worked like crazy
that we caught Goh Jeong-woo.
We did our best back then, didn't we?
Where is this witness?
Where is he?
What are you going to do?
Oh, then we should
I mean, I should scrap the car.
Honestly, I don't know whether
the shoes you found with blood on them
were real or not.
Maybe I
was a very diligent lab rat.
So
You won't reveal who
gave you the orders?
Even after handing in
your letter of resignation?
Section Chief!
Don't become a public servant like me.
Though I'm sure you'll do well
without me telling you.
Oh.
Investigate carefully and meticulously.
And if needed, come arrest me anytime.
You know where I live, right?
Detective Kim Hee-do!
You need to take responsibility! Okay?
You need to catch the real culprit!
Section Chief!
NOVEMBER 20, 2013: EVIDENCE OBTAINED
FROM GOH JEONG-WOO'S HOUSE
FEBRUARY 6, 2014:
GO JEONG-WOO'S TRIAL ENDS
SENTENCED TO 10 YEARS FOR MURDER
FEBRUARY 7, 2014:
SECTION CHIEF HYEON GU-TAK ORDERED
EVIDENCE TO BE DESTROYED AFTER TRIAL
Yes, sir.
It was perfect right through
to the end of the trial.
Good job.
I think you'll be getting
good news soon.
Sorry?
Your promotion is
just around the corner.
Thank you, sir!
- Sir
- Yeah?
You know I truly respect you, right?
I know.
I'll be loyal to you for life.
Remember, it's important
to finish strong.
Yes, sir.
I'll take care of everything.
- Okay.
- Yes, sir.
I found that friend of Park Da-eun
you asked for last time.
Come quick.
Thank you.
I'll stay here.
Please go and get some rest.
I'm planning to leave tomorrow.
Being alone in Mucheon Garden
doesn't feel right either.
Is there anything I can help with
before you leave?
Oh, no need.
All I did was be overly nosy.
You might not know this,
but I've learned so much here.
I figured out what I need to do
once I get back to Seoul.
Your mother will wake up for sure.
Please contact me when she does.
I don't think I'll be able
to come back here,
so I'll stay here today.
You should go home and get some rest.
Okay.
Goh Jeong-woo?
We were paying
a lot of attention to her.
But you moved her
without even a word.
My apologies.
I sincerely thank you
for all you've done.
I saw the press conference.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
The reason why I wanted to
speak with you
was because I didn't ask
the most important thing.
Na-gyeom has been in love with you
since high school.
Did you know that?
How do you feel, Jeong-woo?
About Na-gyeom
Do you like her?
During my 10 years in prison,
the guys who I thought
were my true friends
never visited me,
let alone tried to contact me.
Deok-mi was the only friend
that visited me.
During my toughest time in prison,
when my father passed away
On the day when I was released
Deok-mi was the only one who came.
I think I may have waited for her
and heavily relied on her.
Perhaps that's why she misunderstood.
A crush since high school?
I had no idea back then.
So you don't love her?
No.
Okay.
Why doesn't he? Why?
Why?
It's a relief that he's
not a murderer.
Just as you said, he isn't a murderer.
But he doesn't love you either.
You can't win someone's love
by throwing tantrums.
Na-gyeom.
It's time to wake up
and return to Seoul.
Let's go and forget everything
and start over.
Get out.
What do you know to run your mouth?
Get out.
Get out!
Get out! Get out of here!
Choi Na-gyeom.
You have exactly one hour.
This isn't a suggestion
nor is it a request.
It's a warning.
Bring her back to Seoul today.
If she keeps being stubborn, call me.
I'm going to cancel her contract.
Sorry?
That's what I'm planning.
Yes, ma'am.
MUCHEON POLICE STATION
Jeong-woo
Have a seat.
Have a seat.
My Byeong-mu
he was taken to the prosecution today.
I'll be taken tomorrow as well.
So
I thought it'd be harder
to meet with you.
Jeong-woo.
I'm sorry.
It was me and Chu-ho
who were at fault for everything.
So Jeong-woo,
you're the only one.
You're the only person
who can save Byeong-mu.
Please, just this once.
No
This is my very last request.
Please write a letter of appeal
for my Byeong-mu.
Please, just one letter of appeal.
Yes?
Mister.
Yes?
I also had
a father who loved me.
Jeong-woo!
Jeong-woo!
I'm begging you!
I hope this can be a place
you can always return to.
All of your childhood friends
are around here.
An old friend
is like your hometown.
You can visit at any time.
And they're always there.
Dad
Those people are no longer your friends.
You already know, right?
I miss you.
Yes.
Do you have Choi Na-gyeom's
promotional video?
Ma'am, this is urgent.
I just received a call from
Mapo Police Station.
One of their major crime units
is going to investigate
Park Da-eun's death.
They're investigating Park Da-eun
from Mapo? Why?
It seems their team head
received a request from the team head
of the Mucheon Violent Crime Team 2.
So
I think our priority is to secure
the Park Da-eun evidence.
I'm not sure.
Her shift started,
but she must be running late.
Come here!
Huh?
Hey!
Tell me where you are right now.
We're heading towards Seongsu Bridge
from the Segwan Intersection.
Nambu Beltway!
I'm heading towards Sadang
from Seocho.
I think they're heading
to the outskirts.
Huh?
Yes, we'll join soon.
Stop the car!
Stop, I said!
Hey, one guy's going that way!
Hey, grab him!
Stop right there!
Please don't kill me.
Stop trying to scheme and get out.
Who are you?
Who do you work for?
Who ordered you to do this?
Did you catch all of them?
We missed one but we caught the rest.
So what is going on?
An old case.
An old case that's still ongoing.
She bragged so much about
finding a decent man.
He was the section chief
of a big hospital in Mucheon.
And his wife was the daughter
of a rich family.
He was always buying her clothes,
bags and shoes.
She said
he'd pay for her college tuition
and also give her living expenses.
But then
Just a minute.
I'm sorry.
What is it?
Hey, what on earth
are you investigating?
So what did the abductors say?
Who ordered it?
They said it was a prank.
They mistook her for a friend.
A prank?
- Let me go and
- No!
They left.
Left?
To where?
They were released.
Released?
They must have some connections.
A lawyer rushed over and took them away.
At least you still have her.
Creating a better Gyeonggi-do
together with Candidate No. 3,
Ye Yeong-sil.
Hit that like button!
The operation failed. I'm sorry.
We couldn't find out what
Park Da-eun's friend knew.
I got Secretary Hwang out.
Let's play it safe.
Yes, ma'am.
You'll have to move faster
than we thought.
I still have a lot to sort out
Sort what out?
I told you that's for me to do.
Don't do any thinking.
That's not your job.
No, but
My life is on the line here.
How can I not think?
Have you decided to disobey me
to my face now?
If you had the ability to think,
you should've done so 10 years ago!
All that you're allowed
is regret and reflection!
Go jogging at Citizen Park
for your morning exercise tomorrow.
Run for about 30 minutes
and then get in the car
that's at the park entrance.
Go to the address saved in the GPS
and cool your head.
I'll contact you
once all this is sorted.
I understand.
I'll trust you and wait.
Just tell me what you want.
There's always a reason
behind an action.
Jeong-woo.
I want Goh Jeong-woo.
I just
Fell for you at first sight.
Jeong-woo!
Are we in the same class again?
Hey, wake up already!
You always shined,
lighting up everything around you.
You probably don't know
but I was always around you,
hoping you'd look at me just once.
We have a transfer student today.
Come in.
Her name is Park Da-eun.
Say hello.
Hi.
You can go sit at the back
next to Deok-mi.
But you had terrible taste in women.
- What are you doing?
- What's happening?
You're last.
- What the?
- I fell over.
It's the same even now.
Who's the guardian?
- I am.
- Me
Jeong-woo and Ha Seol
are always together.
No
I bet they're already dating.
She even slept over
at Jeong-woo's place last night.
Jeong-woo
I don't have much time left.
You have to come back to me.
Just like
10 years ago.
Make sure you buy something
that's healthy and good for you.
That's from my first paycheck.
I'm glad that you're smiling.
Hello?
Jeong-woo.
I have something to tell you.
I also have evidence to free you
from everything.
Will you come now?
Call Choi Na-gyeom! Call her!
Deok-mi planned all this! Call her!
Why Deok-mi?
You moron, you don't know anything.
She planned all of this, you bastard!
Byeong-mu is planning to say
that I was in the warehouse with him.
Hey, did she say I threatened her too?
She's a true actress.
Do you use this app?
Your location is linked
with Choi Na-gyeom.
Deok-mi
You were in the warehouse that day,
weren't you?
And you knew everything?
Of course I knew everything.
Since I saw everything.
Da-eun, if I did something wrong,
please tell me.
I'll change. So please call me.
I couldn't reach Da-eun yesterday.
Can you please call her just once?
Da-eun isn't dead, right?
You only ever had eyes for Da-eun.
When we went to
the police station that day,
I thought about telling you
when I saw you crying.
But I decided not to.
Even while you were crying,
you only worried about where Da-eun was.
The very first time
I was given the honor
of joining you guys
at the spicy rice cake place
Do you remember the very first thing
you said to me?
The spicy rice cakes here
are real good. Try some.
Do you want fishcakes?
"Which class are you in?"
I've been in the same class as you
since 10th grade.
And I've only had eyes
for you since then.
I worked hard on my studies
to impress you.
I even did volunteer work with you.
"Who wants to clean Room 556?"
"Me!"
- Bo-yeong, Bo-yeong, Bo-yeong.
- Why me?
But you never looked my way,
not even once.
But you know, Jeong-woo
After you went to prison for 10 years.
You only looked at me.
You cried when you saw me.
You said I gave you strength.
You heard how the world
was doing through me.
You only thanked me!
But now
My Jeong-woo
You changed as soon as
you were released.
You betrayed me.
Are you doing this just because
Don't say it's just because!
You're the one
who fell for that slut!
Who killed Da-eun?
Yeah.
That must be the only thing
you want to know from me.
From the moment Da-eun first
entered the warehouse
to the moment she died,
I captured it all on video.
Where is it?
Go to Seoul with me.
If you promise to go with me,
I'll hand
that video over to the police.
You'll become free from everything.
And you'll be able to do
whatever you want.
Your mother?
I'll get the best medical staff
to take care of her.
All you have to do
is be with me
and live a happy life.
I don't want any of that.
There's something I've learned
after returning to Mucheon
that's completely changed.
Take it all the way.
Do not give up.
Just drink this.
Drink this and I'll give you the video.
You've gone back to the bold, brilliant
person you used to be.
You even drank alcohol.
He was the section chief
of a big hospital in Mucheon.
And his wife was the daughter
of a rich family.
He was always buying her clothes,
bags and shoes.
If we're talking about
the wealthiest family in Mucheon
The first family that comes to mind
is the Mugu Foundation.
Mugu Foundation?
With graduates of
the Mugu Foundation scholarship
taking high-ranking positions
in the police force,
it's become a major, powerful group.
The daughter of
the Mugu Foundation's founder
is Congresswoman Ye Yeong-sil.
And her husband is
Director Park Hyeong-sik.
In 2013, he was the section chief of
the Mucheon Sarang Hospital psych ward.
This guy
GOH JEONG-WOO
ought to know something.
No matter what I try
No matter how hard I try
Even if I threaten you
Nothing works.
I'm giving this to you as a gift
as a way of comforting and respecting
my heart for loving you for 14 years.
Why did you have to drink?
Once you wake up from a deep sleep,
you'll be by my side again.
What's going on?
I had a farewell drink with my friend
but he passed out.
I'm sorry, but please help me out.
Help me take him home.
I have to go back right away.
You begged so much that I just came
to help with your stuff.
I'm really sorry for everything.
I'll explain everything to the CEO.
The top manager should be
with the top actor.
Right?
Hey, why did he drink so much?
Gosh, he's so heavy.
Oh, thank you.
Please help.
Thank you.
- Take care.
- Bye.
Jeong-woo!
CHOI NA-GYEOM
MUCHEON GARDEN
Is this Goh Jeong-woo's house?
- Yeah.
- Why?
Looks like he must be moving out too.
Yeah.
Oh
Please go back and
load my stuff into the car.
I left the new script in the bedroom.
Don't forget to pack that.
I need to read it on the way up.
Okay!
- I'll be back quick.
- Okay.
Call me if you need anything.
- Thanks.
- Sure.
You just need to be gone
You should be careful.
Ha Seol
If you just disappear
Ever since you appeared,
Jeong-woo changed.
Now everything will go back
to how it should be.
He's usually not late.
Was he very tired?
Oh, excuse me.
Will she be okay without
a guardian for a few hours?
- Yes.
- Oh, okay.
When you were inside,
you only looked upon me.
Let's go back.
To the time when we would
look at each other and smile.
The time when we were happy.
You just need to live in your bird cage.
Eat the food I give you.
And look upon me only.
I love you.
Let go of me!
Stay still or you'll break your arm.
You'll break your arm.
Let go!
Get away from him!
Don't touch him!
Get your dirty hands away from him!
- Is Jeong-woo okay?
- I don't think it's critical.
Let go of me!
I'll kill you!
Stop.
He's not yours!
Here.
GOVERNOR JEONG HYEONG-SU
I'll be quick.
Yes.
Oh! Jeong-woo
Jeong-woo, it's okay. It's me, Ha Seol.
You're safe now.
How is he? Is he okay?
Yes, he's okay.
Do you want to get up?
Where's about Deok-mi?
She's at the police station.
Choi Na-gyeom moved you from
the hotel room where you passed out.
And she tried to kill Ha Seol.
I think she was trying to
frame you for Ha Seol's murder.
I'm sorry, Ha Seol.
All this because of me.
I'm really sorry.
Oh
Wow. Hey, I did all the dangerous work.
I'm the one who tracked your location.
I ran here like crazy
in case something bad happened to you.
Geez.
I guess you're okay,
seeing how you can smile.
Why? Are you looking for your phone?
You left it at my house.
No, not that phone. Deok-mi's phone.
Deok-mi's old phone.
That phone contains a video of
Da-eun's killer.
What?
Where is it?
At the hotel.
Everything is as it was
except for the mess.
Jeong-sik.
Weren't you able to find an old phone?
No, sir.
You search over there.
MUCHEON HIGH SCHOOL
GOH JEONG-WOO
Only your photo is different.
I think it was erased because
I was a murderer.
Did Choi Na-gyeom stick this on here?
Huh?
What's this?
I'm going to report you
and destroy your life!
No No!
Let's stop watching this.
No!
What should we do?
What do you mean?
We need to investigate.
Investigate.
I really will.
Why? Are you scared?
Get started.
You need to come to Suwon with me.
Within a year, you'll be promoted
to commissioner,
then senior superintendent,
then chief superintendent.
It'll be quick and guaranteed.
What do you think?
YE YEONG-SIL
I've heard a lot about you
ever since my school days.
You did a lot of charity work
through the Mugu Foundation.
Then this discussion
shouldn't take long.
Yes.
You're a busy person,
so I'll get straight to the point.
Please make him turn himself in
within 24 hours.
Your husband, that is.
It's an honor to have met you.
I'll take my leave now.
Where is he right now?
What's up with the director?
Is he resigning?
Why isn't he coming to work?
Everything here is his.
As if he'd quit.
I'm sure he's into some new girl
and is on a trip with her.
But why isn't his phone working?
Nurse Cha called him and it said
the number no longer exists.
DIRECTOR'S OFFICE
PARK HYEONG-SIK
Who are you?
I came for my appointment
with the doctor.
Oh, I see
What were you doing in here?
I I
I don't know anything!
Yeo-jin, great job.
Where's the bag?
I'm sorry.
Someone suddenly barged in.
So you didn't bring
the bag full of money?
I took everything out
I took it out
But someone suddenly barged in.
I tried to
How could you leave the money?
How am I supposed to help you now?
How come you can't even do
such a simple thing?
I tried to do it
But he just barged in
I'm sorry, Yeo-jin. I'm sorry.
I keep getting slandered
from all directions.
I'm just really on edge.
So who barged into the office?
He said he had
an appointment with you
Sorry, just a minute.
Why are you there?
I clearly said it was your last chance.
Come to my office right now.
Don't make things difficult
and make me send my people.
How is she watching me?
Damn it.
Yeo-jin, something urgent came up.
I'll call you.
I'll call.
So keep your phone
with you at all times.
I'm at the hospital.
I saw Dr. Park Hyeong-sik.
Don't leave me
Excuse me.
Famous actor Choi Na-gyeom
was a witness to the
Missing Body Murder
back in November of 2013.
But despite that,
she is under suspicion
of hiding that fact.
Choi recorded the murder in secret
and used that video
to threaten Mr. Park.
It is suspected that she used
those threats to set up
a financial sponsor relationship.
According to an anonymous
police source
How much do you think
my ratings will drop today?
Choi Na-gyeom really must be famous.
She made my ratings rise and fall
4 to 5% in just a few days.
How do we fix it this time?
I'm sorting it out now.
An anonymous police source?
Go to the police station tomorrow
and turn yourself in.
I won't survive a single day in prison.
Why now?
Why are you abandoning me?
How can you do this?
Why are you abandoning me?
You have to resolve this for me.
Resolve it for me.
I can't go to prison.
You need to withdraw from the election
and seek forgiveness alongside me.
And just say it's not true.
Say you'll do your best
to prove your husband's innocence.
That's all you need to do.
- Doctor, about prison
- Enough! Enough! Be quiet!
Every single day! Every single day!
I'm sick of it!
I'm so tired of it! I've had enough!
Doctor
You shut your mouth! Alright?
If you keep trying to abandon me
I won't sit still.
You knew everything.
I'll tell them you met
with Hyun Gu-tak directly.
So please resolve this immediately.
CONGRESSWOMAN YE YEONG-SIL
Yes.
That could be a solution.
Resigning
and seeking forgiveness
for my husband.
Ma'am!
I'm in a meeting.
Park Hyeong-sik will turn up.
Don't worry too much.
YE YEONG-SIL
Hello?
This is Goh Jeong-woo.
I think you have the wrong number.
You left your bag in your office.
Don't you want it?
I'm sure you have something
to tell me as well.
Okay then.
Ever since that day
First, bring me the bag.
If you bring the police or
anyone suspicious,
I'll leave.
Understood?
Hey, my dad's been
saving this for ages.
Oh!
But I took it without him knowing.
- What do you think? Great job, huh?
- Get lost.
What?
Stop!
Bo-yeong
I'll protect you.
Da-eun
I'll contact you within the hour.
I've got the bag.
Let's leave together.
Please come back home.
I beg you.
There's no way
I'll let you go to prison.
So come home.
Let's work this out together.
I guess you're scared
because I got mad.
Goh Jeong-woo
I'm to blame for everything.
That cunning and shameless threat
caused my momentary lapse in
judgment that led to this tragedy.
I promised myself that I'd
turn myself in many times.
But since the police
had already closed the case
I just couldn't work up the courage.
I even kept it a secret from
my loving wife for 11 years.
All I can say is that I'm ashamed
for being so foolish
to try to keep it quiet
and atone for it in my heart.
SONGHAK REST AREA
NOH SANG-CHEOL
Detective,
is it possible to locate
a phone using its number?
You can't just do things like that.
I don't know where you learned
all these bad things.
I'm sorry.
I arranged to meet Park Hyeong-sik
and I'm here,
but he's not picking up
and I don't know his car.
Where are you right now?
I'm at Songhak Rest Area.
And the number is 010
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, got it.
Is Songhak Rest Area far from here?
Hey!
Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
You have to wake up.
Hey!
Is anyone there?
You have to wake up.
Hey!
Wake up!
Da-eun!
Hey!
BLACK OUT - SNOW WHITE MUST DIE
Though you made the wrong choice,
I won't resent you.
The dead can't speak.
But they do have their last words.
Autopsy.
You should head to
her room right now.
She's
Mom.
Are you admitting that
you're responsible?
I need to ask you for one favor.
I didn't kill Bo-yeong or Da-eun.
You knew everything!
Let's just end this already.
It'll all be over.
