- Whoa. - Gosh.

Mr. Yang, did you go through all the security-camera footage...

of the parking lot all night?

It would've been easy if I only looked through security-camera footage.

I couldn't get a clear picture from the parking-lot-entrance footage,

so it was hard to identify the driver's face.

So I went over all the unregistered vehicles that visited here for a week.

I sorted out vehicles that were driven by a male driver,

checked all the vehicle information and found...

- Jang Ho-cheol's car. - Wow, you're a real man!

You must be exhausted.

I told you he was suspicious.

My shoulders hurt. Can you give me a shoulder rub?

- Is your retina okay? It's not detached? - Gosh.

A person with a clear crime motive appeared at the crime scene.

There was a hole in the gasket of the inlet barrier in Ju-hui's car, right?

This suggests that it might not be just a vehicle defect.

There's a good reason to be doubtful.

First it was a murder case, then it was an accidental death, and now it's murder?

Stay still.

I thought it was a murder case all along.

After dealing with this case,

I have no desire to get married whatsoever anymore.

How can you get married when the in-laws are so scary like that?

Mi-ho,

that's not the reason you couldn't get married.

- Gosh! - Summon Jang Ho-cheol...

- as a suspect. - Okay.

Gosh.

What now?

Wasn't the case closed as an accidental death?

I'm a busy person, you know.

Prosecutor,

it's an infringement of human rights...

to target a good citizen and force them in here for no reason.

We tried to close the case as an accidental death.

But what can we do?

We found this.

Here.

This was on May 13,

two days before the accident.

Can't I visit my own brother's home?

Of course you can visit. But that's not the problem.

You didn't go to your brother's home.

You went to your sister-in-law's car which got into an accident.

Also,

you were in there for almost a half hour.

Would you care to explain?

How dare you dig up my whereabouts?

Quiet down.

Don't say a word.

As they informed you in the NFS,

a vehicle defect caused the accident. However,

why was there an inlet-barrier defect?

Maybe someone did that on purpose,

to disguise it as an accidental death.

You were in the imported car customizing business,

so you probably have knowledge about cars.

You intentionally cut off sister-in-law's exhaust-gas-inlet-barrier gasket,

didn't you?

This is ridiculous.

Why would I do that to her car?

Why would I do that?

You have plenty of reasons.

You're the biggest beneficiary of the couple's death.

Without your brother and his wife, you'd be inheriting all the possessions.

There's not a single stronger motive for crime than this.

- No, it's not that... - Stop talking.

You have a right to silence.

Unless you can explain to us what you did in the car for half an hour,

for flight risk and for the risk of destruction of evidence,

you'll be arrested without a warrant.

Counsel, do you agree to this?

Come in.

What? What the heck is this?

- Calm down. - How can I calm down?

Would you be able to calm down?

Are you saying I should go to prison?

Gosh, this is outrageous!

I just installed a hidden camera in her car.

You don't even know!

My mom put me up to it.

I didn't kill her. You can check.

It's in the rear-view mirror.

But what are you going to do now?

You scrapped the car yourself.

Wait, even if it's crushed a little...

Gosh, what are you going to do?

You destroyed the evidence yourself.

Why would I kill my sister-in-law?

Gosh!

Those rotten people...!

It's that rotten family who killed her, okay?

Ju-hui's a gold-digger, and that sister of hers...

She's like a queen bee who's trying to exploit her sister.

Ju-hui, I didn't get this month's pay.

That...

I told Ho-gu,

and he didn't seem too happy about it.

I heard his family has $50 million.

I'll bet $3000 would be nothing to him. What's his problem?

How are we going to survive this month? We can't starve.

Ho-gu is so naïve, you know.

What?

Listen carefully, Ju-hui.

This isn't what we discussed. I told you to do it right.

It's only the beginning, don't dare mess with me.

Do things right when he's head-over-heels for you.

Okay, I told him about it,

so just wait, okay?

How beautiful. It's all done.

They were like a pack of dogs coveting our property.

You know what I think?

It's that wench who killed her own sister.

I didn't do it, I swear!

I admit that my client installed...

an illegal camera device.

It's a little embarrassing,

but could you ask the NFS to examine the inside of her car carefully,

and find...

the hidden camera?

Good Lord.

We don't even know for sure if he just installed the camera there,

- or messed with her car. - This is outrageous.

They're seriously messed-up people.

It's important to find the hidden camera from the vehicle.

Contact the NFS, let's go right away.

- Yes. - Okay.

- It's over here. - Okay.

Did you get it out? Be careful.

Be careful. Hold on.

Here.

Here it is.

Do you think you'll be able to restore the video footage?

I have to see how badly the hard disk is damaged.

Please work on it ASAP.

The Digital Forensics Team...

once recovered data from a cellphone that was microwaved.

It's an external shock, so it's easy to recover quickly.

- No, it can't! - What?

Hey!

Come out!

What are you guys doing?

Seong-joo,

at least get something to eat first.

Gosh.

You can go back and wait for the recovery results.

- Come with us. - Sure.

Dr. Baek, I counted everything down to a single screw.

There's nothing in here anymore.

What are you doing?

Disable all the airbags.

Gosh.

Every single one of them!

- Manager Han. - Yes, ma'am.

The ledger's become a mess, just because Ho-gu isn't here anymore.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Here you are.

My client acknowledges that he installed an illegal recording device.

He just remained silent because he wanted to respect the deceased.

And my client had a good reason to do that.

Since your son has confessed,

you need to come with us for a statement.

- There's no need... - Fine.

I'll go.

- Manager Han. - Yes, ma'am.

Balance the purchase and sales by the end of this day,

and sort out the tax invoice according to the vendors.

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Head Prosecutor Gal, wait.

Ma'am, you took the time to come all the way here.

You should've told me sooner.

This is a bit confusing for me too.

Since it's unavoidable, please do your best in the investigation.

This way.

Prosecutor Doh.

Yes, sir.

- You're doing hard work. - It's okay, sir.

You don't need to go easy on her because I personally know her.

You'll be in big trouble if you do that.

- Yes, I know. - Be accurate.

Be accurate, you got me?

You're a prosecutor who works with evidence, so do it with conviction.

But this is an important case,

so write the case report thoroughly...

and submit it by end of day, okay?

Goodness.

People would be suspecting us if I stay here any longer.

I'll get going.

Hurry, it's urgent.

- What is it? - Look at this.

- What am I looking at? - We're in a hurry!

- The small thing right here, look. - Where?

It's right here.

It's a dried-up stain from a liquid.

How did you find this?

- Collect the DNA, we don't have much time. - Okay.

It's Grumpy Beom in action.

You installed a hidden camera in Cha Ju-hui's car.

The NFS restored the video footage from the camera.

Take a look.

Gosh, but...

we failed to restore the video...

because your son scrapped the car.

However, the audio still remains.

Get a divorce.

Or you'll die sooner than you're supposed to.

It's not your first marriage, is it?

You even erased your family register.

Who are you people?

Are you professional con artists?

How dare you try to scam us and take our money?

Forget it. Just get a divorce.

Mother,

I think you're trying to settle this legally,

but I have something prepared too.

You know this person, right?

What is this?

So?

What do you really want?

I want you to register the apartment we're living in under both our names,

and send $10,000 a month to my family for living expenses.

You'll do that, won't you?

For our child.

I'm pregnant, Mother.

What an impressive daughter-in-law.

Even I would feel the urge to murder her.

Hello, this is Eun Sol.

Prosecutor Eun, Jang Ho-gu had a passenger in his car.

Sorry?

- I thought he was alone. - Give me the phone.

We found saliva from the passenger seat's airbag.

We detected DNA of the buccal epithelial cell,

- and lipstick. It was a woman. - Okay.

Mucous membrane cells in the mouth contained in saliva

How could you investigate us with just a suspicion?

Do you have proof I killed her?

- Can you connect me to them? - Sure.

My chest feels stuffy...

Get me some water.

My client has an irregular pulse. Wrap it up for today.

Let's go to the hospital.

Here.

Drink this first.

Okay, you can come in.

Gosh.

Why do people like her always have a bad heart?

Breathe deeply.

What are you doing?

It's been confirmed that there was a passenger...

in Jang Ho-gu's car. We also collected the DNA.

I'm going to check if it matches with Cheon Chun-ja's DNA.

What? What did you just say to me?

I thought you had a bad heart,

but it seems you don't have to go to the hospital.

So the vicious mother-in-law...

killed the daughter-in-law who's even more malicious.

It'll all be over once we get the results back.

What did I tell you? I said she seemed suspicious all along.

Everyone was beating around the bush.

I had a woman's intuition.

- Spit it up. - I thought it was Jang Ho-cheol.

How can you talk about money right now? Just leave it on credit.

And you should focus.

We have the results.

It's not a match.

It's not?

DNA Test Report

It does not match with Cheon Chun-ja's DNA

DNA Test Report

It does not match with Yeom Sun-rye or Cha Do-hui

Not a Match

It's not Cha Do-hui or her mother.

And this person's not on the criminal or missing-persons database?

Who the heck is it?

Am I supposed to know everything?

- Gosh. - Goodness.

It seems we'll get busy again, thanks to somebody.

First you said it was a murder case, then you said it was an accidental case.

And then it was a murder case again, and now it's a woman?

We don't even have a match. What in the world is this?

- We just give you the results. - I know that.

All you do is sit in your office and run your equipment.

But we run around constantly working like crazy!

Let's go.

I don't even care anymore.

Gosh!

It's a challenging case this time.

I guess it's harder when even the NFS is struggling to find out.

Didn't you move?

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm back.

I knew it, you're busted!

- No personal discussions. - Again?

I'm going, you deal with her.

I'm going, too.

Let's talk, you and me.

Sure.

Are you sure you don't have feelings for Dr. Baek?

You're really suspicious.

- Would you like some beer? - I don't drink.

Buy me coffee instead.

What kind of coffee do you want?

Half caffeine, ultimate vanilla iced frappuccino.

Triple shot, double the whipped cream without ice.

And two pumps of agave syrup.

Sure, fine.

We'd like to order.

Did you memorize everything?

Half caffeine, ultimate vanilla iced frappuccino.

Triple shot, double the whipped cream without ice.

And two pumps of agave syrup.

- They have nitrous oxide here too. - What?

What did you say?

You never had a part-time job before?

Nitrous oxide is used in cafés too.

Your coffee is ready.

Manager Han So-ra.

- Do you recognize me? - Yes.

You came by the other day.

Can you let me back there for a moment?

Excuse me?

You must have problems with your left leg.

Where did you hurt yourself?

I fell down while I was working.

Can you unbutton your top button?

- Why? - I have to check something.

The other side.

It's a seat belt mark.

No, I just fell down.

You're a lousy liar.

You were with him in the car...

on the day of Jang Ho-gu's accident.

Nitrous oxide.

This equipment was used to murder Cha Ju-hui.

And you also happen to use this every day.

What? Wait...

You should come with us.

Han So-ra,

under the Criminal Act Article 250,

you're arrested without a warrant on suspicion of the murder of Cha Ju-hui.

You have the right to remain silent, right to self-incrimination.

And you have the right to an attorney.

Goodness.

- Hey, take a look at this. - There are so many.

She used up a lot.

I passed out,

and when I opened my eyes...

Ho-gu, are you okay?

Oh, no! No...

I ran away because I was too scared.

You tried to hide the fact...

because you were too scared?

Does it matter if I tell the truth?

Why would a café manager...

frequently talk with her boss on the phone...

so early in the morning?

You were Jang Ho-gu's mistress, weren't you?

So... So what?

That makes a strong criminal motive for the murder of Cha Ju-hui.

What?

No...

No, I was...

I just went out with him a few times, because he was having such a hard time.

If people found out I was secretly seeing Ho-gu,

I would've been fired.

- That's why I lied. - But earlier,

you said you ran away because you were scared.

You keep lying to me.

I...

This is the medicine and the prescription...

for my depression.

I'm a patient.

It's hard for me to judge the situation at times.

You killed a person.

Are you trying to seek a sentence reduction using your mental weakness?

It seems you don't know...

that depression can't be used as mental weakness to reduce your sentence.

But Prosecutor...

I'm not crazy enough to do something to that woman!

Ho-gu and his wife...

wouldn't have stayed together too long, anyway.

Mr. Jang.

Aren't you going home?

Should I call a chauffeur for you?

So-ra.

I'm so miserable.

Don't be...

Listen to this.

Even you...

are treating me like a gold-digger.

His wife...

was a malicious person.

You must've hated her enough...

to murder her.

How are you going to explain the empty nitrous-oxide cartridges...

that were used as a criminal tool?

I just collected the ones used in the café.

Besides, do you have proof they were used as a criminal tool?

You'll find nitrous oxide in any café.

Someone with sufficient motive for the crime...

happened to use the criminal tool every single day.

And you've been continuously lying about your alibi on the day of the accident,

and your relationship with the deceased.

You even prepared your medical record in case you were found guilty.

At the moment,

- we have every reason to suspect you. - Fine.

I committed adultery.

And I rode Mr. Jang's car to work every day.

But...

you don't have proof I killed her.

Show me if you do.

I dare you!

The café manager Han So-ra's saliva...

and the DNA match.

And these...

are bottles of nitrous oxide...

that were used to kill Cha Ju-hui.

How can you make someone pass out with these?

These are 8 grams each,

so she must've needed hundreds of these.

So she opened them all, removed the gas, collected them,

and injected them in her car? Is that even possible?

- We still have Cha Ju-hui's SUV, right? - Yeah, but we already examined it.

Let's go.

You're going to check it again?

I said, let's go.

How shameless.

I can't believe they're all denying their charges.

"Show me if you have proof!" How can someone be like that?

The real killer must be among these jerks.

I got it!

Hold on, listen to this.

Cha Do-hui.

Jang Ho-cheol.

Cheon Chun-ja, Han So-ra.

Maybe they all got in it together to murder Cha Ju-hui.

Gosh.

This isn't a movie, okay?

I'm going crazy over here, what else can I do?

Who in the world killed her?

What do you think?

Dr. Baek.

Where did he go?

Dr. Baek, I thought you already examined the car.

Gosh, no.

Help out, now that you're here.

By the way,

are you looking for something? Is there more to look?

Something in the car that wasn't here before.

All of them.

We were supposed to put the evidence here!

I'm not done taking them out yet.

Bring me the cutter. We're taking the trunk apart.

What?

The cutter!

Lift.

- Bring me the flashlight. - Okay.

- The evidence bag. - Did you find something?

- What is this? - This... It's that!

Mr. Yang, I need you to find something right now.

They admitted...

that they forged the death certificate,

and they're begging for forgiveness.

How about forgiving them and coming to an appropriate agreement?

"Appropriate"?

Ma'am,

how will my daughter ever get employed...

if she gets a criminal record?

We'd like to give you settlement money,

but our family is struggling financially.

It wasn't for a long time, but you were once family.

- Settle without the settlement money... - It doesn't work out that way.

Family?

Let's go.

We're from the Criminal Department.

- I'm Prosecutor Doh. - What brings you here?

It'll only take a minute.

We're busy people. What now?

We found out...

who murdered Cha Ju-hui.

Partners for Justice Season 2

At 5 and 8 p.m. today,

two murder cases, that are likely to be a serial case has occurred...

in the area of Bangho-dong, Seoul.

What if the murderer is trying to commit another murder at this moment?

A third case occurred.

I'll be honest.

It's hard for me to control the current situation by myself.

You should be here on the scene. I need you to get here.

The next one is at 2 a.m.

- We have a half hour left. - You're still not done yet?

It's been hours!

It's not going to work this time, even if it's Dr. Baek. That's not enough!

I'm afraid there might be another victim at this rate.

Pieces of a body found in Bangho-dong.

All forces, get ready.

It wasn't fiction.
