Original subtitles

I'm Lee Jae Sap.

The mad lawyer.

Just this once!

Are you happy to make money...

on the price of a life?

That means if you hadn't used the law to drag things on,

she could've survived.

- Darn it. - Hey, Mr. Lee.

I will take you down.

He's crazy.

Stop that lunatic right now.

I thought I was living a good life,

but I was wrong.

Si On.

Am I too late?

Where am I?

- We're married? - Dad!

What's going on?

I must be dreaming.

What's with everyone? How can I be a prosecutor?

I was a lawyer before, but I'm a prosecutor here.

She was my ex-girlfriend, but she's my wife here.

I may have come into a same yet different world...

just like a decalcomania while I was unconscious.

I'm lying in a hospital in the real world,

and I can only go back after I become conscious again.

Seo Yeong Ju is alive?

I'll make sure I stop this.

Someone died. If you do not think...

human life is a joke, please do cooperate.

We can use this chance to trample all over that crazy Detective Ra.

What will happen to Si On?

If she's found guilty, she'll end up...

eating the same prison food as the culprits she arrested.

But you should've left my wife out of it.

Do whatever you can to catch the killer.

Only that can save Detective Ra.

The same medication was evidence in the Segyeong Orphanage Mass Murder.

If Jo Ho Young turns out to be the culprit...

of the mass killing at Segyeong Orphanage,

Detective Ra can put handcuffs on that jerk.

I'll show you my faith.

No!

(Segyeong Hospital)

(Episode 13)

She was strangled to death.

It looks like...

Jo Ho Young strangled her to death.

No, my baby...

No.

No, Ban Ji.

Ban Ji...

Did you find anything?

Do you think there's anything else?

We'll have to analyze all the trace evidence,

but Jo Ho Young...

Hey, lady! You can't go in there!

- My gosh, woman. - Come out!

My gosh.

Hey, and we found Jo Ho Young's will...

- and cyanide on him. - What?

His will? Cyanide? What do you mean?

Even if you hadn't shown up, he would have killed himself anyway.

If he was going to kill himself, why did he siphon the donation?

We found 50,000 dollars...

of the donation Ban Ji siphoned in her suitcase.

And there were a lot of needle marks on Jo Ho Young's body,

so it looks like he was a drug addict.

That's why he needed money.

There's Ms. Yak Ji!

What am I going to do without my Ban Ji?

- No, Ban Ji... - She may have adopted her,

but she must have thought of her as her own.

Even though she was a bad girl who killed her sibling for money.

- No, Ban Ji... - She's still so heartbroken.

Ma'am, please share a word.

Something doesn't seem right.

- What is? - Her T-shirt.

It's inside out. It wasn't like that before.

You're right. Why did she wear her shirt inside out?

What am I going to do now?

Ban Ji.

Your shirt isn't buttoned up correctly.

- What? - I'm... I'm sorry.

Let it be.

That'll make people pity her even more.

Is she doing this on purpose?

What?

The Special Investigations Unit took my dash cam?

Yes, sir.

Now they have it as proof of the theft case.

It looks like Prosecutor Lee designed this...

to find a legal way for a search and seizure.

Do you mean he came up with this idea...

because he knew he couldn't obtain a warrant?

- You're right. - My goodness.

Prosecutor Lee is an outsider of the prosecution.

He's crossing over the line to show better performance.

I hoped he would cross it over for good to work with us,

but I think that failed.

These are...

profile of Prosecutor Lee Jae Sang.

Lee Jae Sang.

What an interesting fellow.

So you are saying...

Ban Ji and Nam Hye Jung's murders weren't...

Jo Ho Young's one-man crime,

but it was all ordered by Ms. Yak Ji?

Yes.

Do you really think this makes any sense?

You want to investigate this again because her shirt was inside out?

Her daughter died, but she put the shirt on inside out on purpose.

She wasn't out of her mind because her daughter died.

She made it look like she was out of her mind.

Exactly. So what?

That's how people will begin to pity her more,

and she'll get more donations.

She looked after Ban Ji, an orphan, for the last 10 years.

To Ban Ji, Ms. Yak Ji was probably like a deity.

Ban Ji probably did what her stepmother instructed...

during Hye Jung's murder case...

and when she went to meet Jo Ho Young.

And I saw...

that Jo Ho Young couldn't make any rational decisions.

He kept on murmuring some prayers,

so it looks like Ms. Yak Ji controlled him...

by using his religious side.

See? Look at this.

In the end, Jo Ho Young is still the one who killed...

- Hye Jung and Ban Ji. No? - He killed them.

Now, how are you going to prove...

that he murdered them because of Ms. Yak Ji's order?

I'm not sure if this is a useful tip,

but Jo Ho Young and Ms. Yak Ji graduated the same middle school.

What?

Wait, are you saying they knew each other?

There is a possibility.

Why are you telling me that now?

May I add to this too?

Someone has been writing malicious comments for four years...

on every single article about Ms. Yak Ji.

- Malicious comments? - Yes, sir.

It's someone with the ID "jyo777".

Take a look.

"She's just putting on an act."

"She's a wicked woman who killed many kids as a nurse."

She wrote something like that. It said she killed kids.

Didn't you say she used to be a nurse?

You're right.

If this is true, it means we'll lose the real culprit of a huge case.

Okay.

We're going to look into this case once again from the beginning.

Hey, Ms. Bang. Find out where Jo Ho Young's family is.

- Yes, sir. - Find out who wrote this comment.

Yes, sir.

Dismissed!

Why can't you seem to sleep?

I'm fine.

I probably had too much coffee.

You can go to sleep.

You were hopeful...

that you could catch the culprit of the murder...

from 10 years ago, weren't you?

I can't deny that.

But still, I'm glad we found out...

my brother wasn't behind this case.

And Internal Affairs closed their investigation too.

Si On.

You don't have to pretend like you're so strong.

I felt really bad in the past...

when you were filled with anger,

acting rough.

But I feel even worse to see you...

pretend like you're strong...

and you're fine.

Jae Sang.

I'm scared to think about how long I must have...

this long fight.

I'm so scared that I'll grow tired.

I'm scared I'll grow tired...

when I haven't even found out a thing.

It's okay.

Si On.

It's okay even if you say you're not okay.

No one can never say otherwise.

You can let this get to you.

It's all right, Si On.

The bicycle

Is mine

My dad will win it for me

The bicycle

Is mine

My dad will

- Win it for me - We have some unfinished business.

Let's talk face to face.

The bicycle

Is mine

Welcome.

I see that you're busy.

Ma'am, the perm looks great on you.

Bye.

Please just leave.

If people find out that my brother is a killer,

I'll have to leave this neighborhood.

Ma'am,

we have a lot of doubts about Jo Ho Young's murders.

Doubts, my foot.

He brought this on himself.

I hear that Ms. Yak Ji and him grew up in the same neighborhood.

If you remember anything about her that seemed off,

please tell us about it all.

We're asking you...

so that we don't find the wrong man responsible.

She is one scary wench.

She did anything to get people's attention.

Hold on.

What do you mean that she craved people's attention?

Her stepmother raised her, you see.

Her father only adored her half siblings,

so you can imagine how neglected she felt.

That's when she did everything she could to get attention.

It's all because of that accident.

She lost a finger while playing...

- at the junkyard her father owned. - I can do better.

Her father felt terrible.

- I told you not to play with these. - He never left her side.

That's when...

the lying began.

She said she had a terminal illness...

or that her stepmother beat her.

Those sort of things.

She'd constantly lie...

which is why her father kicked her out in the end.

Then how did Ms. Yak Ji and Jo Ho Young...

become acquaintances?

It was after Ho Young got sick.

You see,

he suffers from complex regional pain syndrome.

(An illness that feels constant pain from even small injuries)

This CRPS she's talking about is an illness that can't be cured.

There was nothing we could do.

He'd keep telling us...

that it felt like someone was squeezing his brain.

But...

Yeon Ji, that wench, promised she could help him...

through his beliefs.

So...

did he get better?

Yes.

Surprisingly enough, he did.

- Ho Young? - But...

I found out later that it was far from true.

Where did he go?

Ho Young!

Ho Young!

My gosh, what did you do?

MDMA?

I searched online and find out...

that she'd been giving him psychoactive drugs.

She used to be a nurse,

so she must've illegally obtained some.

I know you won't believe this,

but my brother only killed that girl and committed suicide...

because that wench told him to.

Why do you think that?

Yeon Ji was like a deity to Ho Young.

It's what he always said.

He'll be reborn without pain if he obeys her every word.

Didn't you step down from your position...

to join the election?

However,

you come and go here as if this is still your office.

Prosecutor Lee!

Lawyer Kang.

I hear that he's known as the pit bull in the legal field.

That nickname couldn't suit him any better.

Another nickname?

I guess I can't be free from one.

To me though,

being a pit bull could be a good thing but also a bad thing.

That's how it is with all choices in life.

In that sense, have you made your choice?

From what I hear,

you got caught while trying to pull a fast one on me.

It's a game anyone can play, right?

Mr. Jang wants to make this decision easier for you.

Once you sign with our law firm,

you will be in charge of all the cases...

regarding Baekgeum Construction.

You will receive stock option and your cut will be 90 percent.

After three years, you'll be made partner.

I'm sure you're aware...

that my wife hates your guts.

So why are you offering me so much?

Because that's what makes you worthier.

You're...

- Detective Ra's husband. - Sorry?

What do you think is a common weak spot for people?

It's their families.

Once you're on my side,

Detective Ra will soon give up her hunt.

And if I decline?

Then your daughter...

will have to see her mom arrest her dad.

The evidence we have on you has been sent to the precinct.

The investigation will begin the moment you turn us down.

Even the members of your unit...

will end up getting hurt too.

As I said earlier,

all choices are like a two-edged sword.

(Si On)

- Yes, Si On. - You need to hurry back.

We found the person who wrote malicious comments...

about Ms. Yak Ji online.

Is that her?

Yes, she's 43-year-old, Ju Young Ok.

She worked with Ms. Yak Ji at Sooah Hospital.

It's true that I wrote those comments,

but can I be punished for them?

That's what we here to determine.

If Ms. Yak Ji killed the kids just like you wrote,

you will be charged with abetting murder.

But...

Cooperate with us now...

and no charges will be brought against you.

About 10 years ago,

Yeon Ji and I...

worked at the pediatric ward.

She was the devil.

The devil in white.

At first, everyone liked her.

She did the tough chores...

and looked after the patients as if they were her own.

I always found that odd though.

Why?

- Well... - But the mom is right there.

It felt like a scripted show.

Take a look at Nurse Park.

Baffling, right?

Why on earth is she doing that?

She was sucking the nasal discharge out with her mouth?

That's what parents or grandparents do...

as a last resort when their kids can't blow their noses.

Exactly.

She'd pull something like that whenever we had visitors.

Also, whenever we lost a patient,

she'd cry her eyes out and faint.

I first thought that maybe I was the cold-hearted one,

but then it all began.

What began?

The children...

started to die for no reason.

What?

And...

then I saw it.

She was practicing how to cry?

Yes.

A three-year-old died that day...

and Yeon Ji cried in grief and fainted.

Did you notify the hospital?

Yes, and an internal investigation was conducted.

Large doses of caffeine anhydrous...

and theophylline were missing.

They're used to dilate bronchial tubes...

and can be fatal when given to those...

under the age of five.

Why is the police only hearing about this now?

I'm sorry.

The hospital director...

wanted to wrap it up by just firing Yeon Ji.

She could've committed more crimes in other hospitals too then.

Detective.

I believe she worked at Segyeong Hospital after quitting.

- Segyeong Hospital? - I heard that she worked there...

from 2007 to 2009.

Didn't the Segyeong Orphanage Mass Murder happen in 2009?

It did.

And Segyeong Hospital...

was where the victims were taken.

Now I get it.

Why...

she looked familiar to me.

- Over here! Help! - Doctor.

What's all this?

Compared to your case, my boss' random attack case...

is a speck of dust.

It's insane.

There are 21 victims and already 18 are dead.

Darn it.

I'm so sorry.

My gosh!

Don't be too surprised.

It's my prosthetic finger.

I apologize.

It was her.

Thank you.

The poor things.

Oh, dear...

The poor things.

What a pity.

- Hello? - How are you?

I produce a TV show called "Human Story".

Oh, you called me once before.

Yes. I know it'll be hard for you,

but I'd like to interview you today.

Are you free?

Yes. I think I'll be free in the evening.

Now it makes sense.

How the Segyeong Orphanage nightmare was kept alive.

She was a nurse,

so she would have seen the victims' wounds herself.

And she'd have gained information by listening to the cops talk.

Why on earth do you think she killed?

Let's say the most recent case was for donations.

Why did she kill the kids in the children's ward?

I doubt it's about money.

For love and attention.

That's why she killed.

Love?

Isn't that too poetic?

I think Ms. Yak Ji...

has Munchausen Syndrome.

It's a mental disorder where she fakes certain situations...

to gain the attention and pity of others.

That's right. I saw it on TV.

There were cases abroad...

where a single mom killed her kid for pity.

And a nurse killed her patients...

so others would praise her.

Would you call that human?

They all did that for attention.

Just like Ms. Yak Ji.

Ms. Yak Ji felt her stepmom and half brothers...

stole her father's love away.

She harmed herself...

and told lies to win back his attention.

Her unfortunate upbringing...

turned her into a love-starved monster.

What's even scarier is...

it won't end here.

- What? - To become a more dramatic heroine,

she'll kill again.

(Our Mom)

The most pitiful woman in the world.

I'll take three.

Oh, dear...

What a pity.

My gosh.

It's so unfortunate.

She'll package herself as an angel that society must accept.

Darn it.

How are we to tell when and who she will kill?

I wonder if this might be of help.

What? You've found something?

I hacked into her credit card transactions.

She bought something odd at a local supermarket.

Something odd?

Don't be shocked.

She bought...

milk powder. Baby formula.

- Baby formula. - Yes, that.

I see.

It was the milk powder.

That was the poison. You moron.

It's not that. There are no babies at the orphanage.

What?

Other than Han Yoo Rim, there are no other children.

She bought lots of baby formula when there's no one to drink it.

What is it, Yoo Rim?

Han Yoo Rim?

- Ice cream. - Yes.

Ice cream?

No.

If you have ice cream, you get sick.

Baby formula. Ice cream.

They're both dairy products.

What illness does the girl who was on...

"Human Prime" with Ms. Yak Ji have?

I know the answer to that. I'm a huge fan of the show.

Galactosemia.

- Galactos... - Galactosemia?

It's a rare hereditary disease.

Patients are lactose intolerant...

and must strictly limit their intake of dairy products.

No way.

She's the next target.

She pretended to care for the girl,

but fed her powdered milk to worsen her condition.

Excuse me. I follow Ms. Yak Ji on social media.

She's going to go live shortly.

With Han Yoo Rim.

What?

(Live broadcast)

Yoo Rim. TOI0329 said...

you're very pretty. Do something cute.

(Live broadcast)

(Hello, Yoo Rim. Nice to meet you.)

(I'm here for you, Yoo Rim.)

Yoo Rim has difficulty eating,

so we fitted a tube straight into her stomach.

(Go live more often. Why were you away for so long?)

Mom, don't cry.

I'm sorry.

I promised not to cry.

Thanks to all your prayers,

she'll get through just fine.

Won't you?

- Hello, Yoo Rim. - Ms. Yak Ji's awesome.

You're an angel.

Ms. Yak Ji. Don't cry.

You have us. Cheer up.

That's not all.

She even announced she has a TV interview today.

A live social media broadcast and a TV interview?

Then she's planning another performance.

Wait, wait. Now listen up.

All this is just speculation.

We need evidence.

We need to put this woman in prison.

No.

That's not good enough.

Yoo Rim.

You said you'd vomit.

Why didn't you?

If you threw up,

I was going to cry.

Why couldn't you even do that?

Why?

I'm sick of this.

Help me! Help me!

I need help! Something's wrong with Yoo Rim!

Help us! Please help.

- What's wrong? - What's going on?

- What is it? - What happened?

Help us.

- Look. - Who's that?

- What's going on? - I don't know.

Help us!

What happened, Ms. Yak Ji?

Mr. Producer. Yoo Rim's very sick.

What am I to do if something happens to her too?

How am I to live now?

Did you do it knowing she'd get sick?

Yoo Rim!

You know she can't take dairy products.

And you gave it to her?

What do you mean?

- What? - It was deliberate?

- What's going on? - I don't believe this.

- What's happening? - Gosh.

There are more cars coming.

Park Yeon Ji.

You're under arrest for instigating the murders of...

Nam Hye Jung and Park Ban Ji, and abusing Han Yoo Rim.

- Detective. - Take a look.

Hey, kid. Wake up. Stay with us.

Let's put her in her own true prison.

What do you mean?

There's a punishment more suitable for her.

Excuse my intrusion, Ms. Yak Ji.

(I'll go live with Yoo Rim.)

(Recording)

Yoo Rim.

(Ms. Yak Ji is live.)

You said you'd vomit.

- She's going live again. - Why didn't you?

What is she doing?

If you threw up, I was going to cry.

Why couldn't you even do that? Why?

- She's out of her mind. - Someone report her.

Hey, Look at this.

- The kid might die. - Shouldn't we call the police?

She's crazy.

She shouldn't be eating formula, right?

What is this?

Hey, look at this.

She's insane. Let's go.

I hate the law at times like these.

If it wasn't for the law,

I would have killed you right now.

No.

I didn't do this.

You have the right to refuse to answer questions,

but that doesn't really matter.

You have the right to consult an attorney,

but none of them will take your case.

You have the opportunity to make your case,

but everything you say...

will sound like an excuse.

Excuse me...

What are you doing? Take her away.

Yes, sir.

- Is she that woman? - That's her?

- My goodness. - How can she do that?

She's evil.

- I can't believe this. - My gosh.

This is huge.

(Search: Ms. Yak Ji)

The Internet is going crazy.

"Rip her body apart to death."

"Don't call her garbage. That's an insult to garbage."

"I want to buy the eyes that haven't seen Ms. Yak Ji."

Do you want to take a look?

Take a look. Look at that.

You are very famous now.

Look at it!

How do you feel...

now that you are receiving the attention you always craved?

How do you call yourself human?

You killed someone who only depended on you,

then you used the Segyeong Orphanage case?

To some, that case is...

an unforgettably painful memory.

So what?

People were reminded of that case once again thanks to me.

Really?

Then what about this?

People will remember you for life...

as a witch who murdered kids to beg for sympathy.

- What? - We are...

going to reinvestigate the infant murder case...

you committed at Sooah Hospital.

You.

I feel so bad for you.

You're just an attention whore...

who craves for attention because your father never loved you.

Just an attention whore.

Do you think you're any different?

What?

The press interview.

Don't you remember?

You turned someone's pain into a show too.

You can show that same face and anger...

in front of the camera.

And you aren't the one who should say that as someone...

who halfheartedly investigated the Segyeong Orphanage case.

What do you mean?
