(were filmed safely with expert supervision.)

13
00:00:55,460 --> 00:00:56,490
Hey, Lee Yong Woo.

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,870
Up until now, everyone's coddled you every time you opened your mouth,

15
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:03,620
but things are different in here.

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,070
It's not my job to believe every word from a scumbag's mouth.

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,340
Back in the day,

18
00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:15,210
I would've strangled her.

19
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,630
Don't you serial killers have a thing...

20
00:01:30,930 --> 00:01:33,300
about who's killed the most people?

21
00:01:34,970 --> 00:01:38,170
You all keep score to see who's number one.

22
00:01:54,820 --> 00:01:58,390
(2 Ha 1)

23
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,840
That darn prosecutor thought I was a bluffer.

24
00:02:15,310 --> 00:02:18,610
She kept asking if I committed the seventh case.

25
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:24,280
She must think you're lying because of your notoriety.

26
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:26,650
For the notoriety? Me?

27
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,649
There have been actual cases like that.

28
00:02:29,650 --> 00:02:30,790
Son of a gun.

29
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,230
Hey, Tae Joo. The prosecutor doesn't believe me.

30
00:02:35,290 --> 00:02:37,599
How is anyone else going to believe me, then?

31
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,000
So what I am trying to say is...

32
00:02:40,060 --> 00:02:42,180
What do I have to do to make them believe what I say?

33
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:45,769
Will you even get the chance?

34
00:02:45,770 --> 00:02:47,339
Prosecution summons for your questioning are done.

35
00:02:47,340 --> 00:02:49,610
- There's nothing more... - The trial! The trial!

36
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,040
That's right. The Seok Man case.

37
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:57,320
The witness for his retrial. I will do it. Okay?

38
00:02:57,620 --> 00:03:01,790
So hurry up and tell me. Quick. What exactly do I need to say?

39
00:03:07,690 --> 00:03:09,190
About the Seok Man case...

40
00:03:10,430 --> 00:03:12,460
I have one condition for testifying.

41
00:03:13,130 --> 00:03:14,470
A condition?

42
00:03:15,170 --> 00:03:17,340
Wasn't testifying supposed to be done for you?

43
00:03:17,900 --> 00:03:21,170
- You said you'd show the real you. - Yes, that's right.

44
00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:23,580
I changed my mind.

45
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,180
What's the condition?

46
00:03:32,350 --> 00:03:33,480
My nephew.

47
00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:36,620
Let me see him.

48
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:40,360
What?

49
00:03:44,230 --> 00:03:48,900
(The Scarecrow)

50
00:03:49,570 --> 00:03:52,800
(Muwon District Court, Main Building)

51
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:56,310
After they dragged me in, I couldn't sleep for a few days.

52
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,280
They wouldn't let me sleep until I confessed something.

53
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,649
If I refused to write a statement,

54
00:04:03,650 --> 00:04:05,210
they kicked the chair I was sitting on.

55
00:04:05,980 --> 00:04:10,290
As you can see, I have a bad leg, but they still made me run in place.

56
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,930
Are you claiming you were abused during your interrogation?

57
00:04:14,530 --> 00:04:18,000
- Yes. - That never happened.

58
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,670
Back then, a suspect died from abuse during an interrogation,

59
00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:25,340
so everyone was on their best behavior.

60
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,510
And most importantly, I'm illiterate.

61
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:32,280
Then how did you end up writing the statement?

62
00:04:32,410 --> 00:04:34,980
They gave me a pre-written one and told me to copy it.

63
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:39,620
But that's because we recorded Im Seok Man's testimony...

64
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,150
and transcribed it for him.

65
00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:44,520
We were just...

66
00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:47,090
trying to be as accommodating as possible.

67
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:53,130
I wasn't part of the interrogation at the time, but...

68
00:04:53,670 --> 00:04:56,700
I saw Im Seok Man at the station several times.

69
00:04:57,070 --> 00:04:59,740
I don't recall seeing any signs of assault.

70
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:03,840
The evidence back then was so conclusive...

71
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:08,250
- that we didn't need to be rough. - What evidence was that?

72
00:05:09,010 --> 00:05:13,280
The culprit's body hair was found, and the test results...

73
00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:17,120
- showed it belonged to Im Seok Man. - And what test was that?

74
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,030
It was from a Radioactive Isotope Analysis.

75
00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:24,660
And who ordered this test?

76
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,370
It was an error in judgment on my part.

77
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,900
What exactly was the error?

78
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,970
It doesn't identify a culprit like DNA testing can.

79
00:05:36,410 --> 00:05:40,980
It can only give a general idea of the culprit's lifestyle.

80
00:05:41,050 --> 00:05:42,250
So you're saying...

81
00:05:42,580 --> 00:05:45,880
there's no direct evidence proving the defendant is the real culprit?

82
00:05:46,850 --> 00:05:48,150
Yes, that's correct.

83
00:05:49,790 --> 00:05:51,260
As an officer of the law,

84
00:05:52,090 --> 00:05:54,560
I made a grave error in judgment,

85
00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:56,460
and I admit it.

86
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:01,900
And I'd like to take this opportunity...

87
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,270
to offer my sincerest apologies...

88
00:06:08,470 --> 00:06:10,310
to Mr. Im Seok Man.

89
00:06:27,490 --> 00:06:28,860
I have one more question.

90
00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:33,630
The defendant claims he was abused during his interrogation.

91
00:06:33,700 --> 00:06:36,300
- Do you believe him? - Yes, I do.

92
00:06:36,630 --> 00:06:38,100
What makes you so sure?

93
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,110
You didn't witness his interrogation yourself.

94
00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:46,280
Because another suspect was tortured during a previous interrogation.

95
00:06:46,710 --> 00:06:47,750
And who was that?

96
00:06:48,580 --> 00:06:51,920
He was a suspect being investigated for the Kangseong Serial Murders.

97
00:06:54,420 --> 00:06:55,690
His name is Lee Seong Jin.

98
00:07:01,290 --> 00:07:02,660
Detective! Sir! Detective!

99
00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:05,260
Help me, please. It wasn't me.

100
00:07:13,070 --> 00:07:16,670
Your Honor, I'd like to call Lee Seong Jin to the stand.

101
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:18,410
(The Bench)

102
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:22,380
Yes.

103
00:07:22,980 --> 00:07:26,620
I was tortured by the police.

104
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:31,520
Are the officers who tortured you in this courtroom right now?

105
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:34,630
Yes.

106
00:07:40,430 --> 00:07:43,730
Who are they? Would you please point them out?

107
00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:58,150
Jang Myeong Do.

108
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,650
Do Hyeong Gu.

109
00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:06,160
Those guys right there.

110
00:08:17,540 --> 00:08:18,660
Nothing further, Your Honor.

111
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,210
Your Honor.

112
00:08:21,770 --> 00:08:23,546
The fact that this witness went through that...

113
00:08:23,570 --> 00:08:26,380
doesn't prove the defendant suffered the same abuse.

114
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,009
This witness was also a suspect in the same case,

115
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:31,370
and he even gave a false confession despite being innocent.

116
00:08:31,450 --> 00:08:33,610
His case is hardly any different from the defendant's.

117
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:36,850
Why would the defendant be spared the violence this witness endured?

118
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Your Honor.

119
00:08:39,660 --> 00:08:42,590
This witness's testimony is grounds for reasonable doubt.

120
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:47,870
I'll allow it.

121
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,940
(Prosecution Table)

122
00:09:00,810 --> 00:09:01,810
Excuse me.

123
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:06,750
Hello.

124
00:09:07,750 --> 00:09:10,030
My name is Cha Yeong Beom. I'm a reporter from Noise Cut.

125
00:09:14,430 --> 00:09:16,760
I'm not doing any interviews.

126
00:09:20,670 --> 00:09:22,300
My father was a victim of torture too.

127
00:09:29,270 --> 00:09:30,990
He eventually passed away from the torture.

128
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:36,480
I'm sorry to hear that.

129
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,250
What did you want to ask me?

130
00:09:43,690 --> 00:09:45,820
The people who assaulted you back then...

131
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,590
Was it just Jang Myeong Do and Do Hyeong Gu?

132
00:09:50,330 --> 00:09:51,690
What about Detective Kang Tae Joo?

133
00:09:53,970 --> 00:09:57,840
He's the one who saved me.

134
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,670
If it hadn't been for him...

135
00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:10,780
I ended up...

136
00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:14,790
confessed, just like that other man.

137
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:21,090
That bastard of a prosecutor threatened me into it.

138
00:10:21,660 --> 00:10:22,690
Which prosecutor?

139
00:10:23,730 --> 00:10:24,760
Cha Si Yeong.

140
00:10:26,130 --> 00:10:27,570
Prosecutor Cha Si Yeong.

141
00:10:28,330 --> 00:10:32,540
I'll never forget that name.

142
00:10:40,380 --> 00:10:43,150
Mr. Lee's testimony today was a huge help.

143
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,120
Please be sure to tell him how grateful I am.

144
00:10:49,150 --> 00:10:51,860
I'll take care of persuading Lee Yong Woo.

145
00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:57,530
- Okay. Sir, let's go to my office. - Okay.

146
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,940
Hey, Kang Tae Joo.

147
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:19,580
Has it been 31 years?

148
00:11:29,630 --> 00:11:32,460
When I first saw you on TV,

149
00:11:34,070 --> 00:11:35,570
I have to admit, I was a little hurt.

150
00:11:36,870 --> 00:11:39,400
I thought you'd at least look me up when you got back.

151
00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:43,870
About that... It was harder than I thought.

152
00:11:46,610 --> 00:11:51,520
I liked seeing you on TV, though. I watched every one of your reports.

153
00:11:52,750 --> 00:11:54,820
You're exactly the same Seo Ji Won I remember.

154
00:11:55,450 --> 00:11:58,590
- You're still amazing. - Amazing? Hardly.

155
00:11:58,860 --> 00:12:02,690
Then you should've come in person. Why send a tip?

156
00:12:02,830 --> 00:12:03,830
Huh?

157
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,630
Scarecrow1988.

158
00:12:07,770 --> 00:12:10,570
Right?

159
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,770
As soon as I saw that username, I knew it was you.

160
00:12:16,310 --> 00:12:18,180
So does that mean... You knew about...

161
00:12:19,010 --> 00:12:21,650
what happened to Hye Jin even 30 years ago?

162
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,880
And the reason you kept quiet...

163
00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:30,890
- Was it because of Sun Yeong? - To keep Sun Yeong alive,

164
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,520
they told me I had to leave Kangseong.

165
00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:41,270
So that's why you left. That explains...

166
00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:46,200
My Gosh.

167
00:12:47,940 --> 00:12:49,870
Why didn't you say anything to me?

168
00:12:50,570 --> 00:12:52,510
- If I had known... - If you'd known,

169
00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:55,190
do you think you would've sat back and done nothing?

170
00:12:56,650 --> 00:12:59,480
You would've done anything to solve Hye Jin's case.

171
00:13:00,550 --> 00:13:02,350
And that would have put you in danger too.

172
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,560
And I...

173
00:13:05,020 --> 00:13:07,790
I had no idea. Gosh, I can't believe...

174
00:13:08,460 --> 00:13:11,100
I kept wondering how you could leave so irresponsibly.

175
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:13,760
All I did was resent you.

176
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,860
Regardless of the reason, it was still irresponsible of me.

177
00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:25,410
Because of a promise I made to save my sister's life,

178
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:28,450
I kept silent for 30 years.

179
00:13:29,780 --> 00:13:31,179
Long enough for the statute...

180
00:13:31,180 --> 00:13:32,780
of limitations to run out and then some.

181
00:13:34,950 --> 00:13:36,050
I know it's late, but...

182
00:13:37,190 --> 00:13:39,590
now I'm going to...

183
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,830
make things right.

184
00:13:45,130 --> 00:13:47,230
You're right. I can't just stand by either.

185
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,800
Let's do this together.

186
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:51,500
Okay.

187
00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:57,710
By the way, I'm worried about Sun Yeong and Yeong Beom.

188
00:13:57,780 --> 00:14:01,010
If they find out what Cha Si Yeong did,

189
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,880
they'll be devastated. Don't you think?

190
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520
I won't let Yeong Beom know about his father.

191
00:14:08,190 --> 00:14:11,660
But as for the Im Seok Man and Yoon Hye Jin cases,

192
00:14:12,090 --> 00:14:13,590
the two of them will have to know.

("5 Officials Commended For The Arrest")

195
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:31,910
For arresting Im Seok Man, the Kangseong serial murderer,

196
00:14:32,010 --> 00:14:35,710
commendations were awarded to four officers and a prosecutor.

197
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,980
The recipients include Commissioner Cha Jun Young...

198
00:14:40,180 --> 00:14:41,290
My uncle?

199
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,689
Sergeants Jang Myeong Do, Do Hyeong Gu,

200

Officer Park Dae Ho, and...

201
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:52,430
Prosecutor Cha Si Yeong.

202
00:15:02,470 --> 00:15:05,340
Both my uncles received awards for this case?

203
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Hey, Reporter Cha.

204
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,219
When those are done copying, bring them to the conference room.

205
00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:13,420
Oh, right. Okay.

(Name: Yoon Hye Jin)

209
00:15:30,270 --> 00:15:34,170
How could the police bury a child to cover up a case?

210
00:15:34,510 --> 00:15:36,310
I had a hard time believing it at first too.

211
00:15:37,610 --> 00:15:40,740
Right, Yoon Hye Jin went missing after Im Seok Man was arrested.

212
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,680
Kangseong Police were celebrating catching a serial killer.

213
00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:46,780
So when another body turned up, they must've wanted to hide it.

214
00:15:47,380 --> 00:15:50,420
- Even if it meant burying her. - Who on the force would do that?

215
00:15:50,790 --> 00:15:54,830
We need suspects before we dig, or we'll face backlash.

216
00:15:55,130 --> 00:15:57,730
The ones in the most trouble if another murder occurred...

217
00:15:58,260 --> 00:16:00,960
would be those who received awards for arresting Im Seok Man.

218
00:16:01,030 --> 00:16:03,000
We'd better find out who they are first.

219
00:16:05,270 --> 00:16:06,470
They are Officer Park Dae Ho,

220
00:16:07,770 --> 00:16:09,270
Sergeant Do Hyeong Gu,

221
00:16:09,540 --> 00:16:12,180
Sergeant Jang Myeong Do, Commissioner Cha Jun Young, and...

222
00:16:13,980 --> 00:16:15,250
Prosecutor Cha Si Yeong.

223
00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:20,380
You ran into Ji Won at the courthouse?

224
00:16:22,090 --> 00:16:24,090
She told me something interesting.

225
00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:29,890
The key part of Yong Woo's statement is missing about who had done that.

226
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:33,900
He saw someone dig up Hye Jin's body and move it,

227
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,440
but he never actually saw their face.

228
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,376
And the hole in Professor Kang's testimony...

229
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,270
It is that he didn't see it himself. It's just hearsay.

230
00:16:40,340 --> 00:16:41,340
Exactly.

231
00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:44,039
On their own, these two testimonies are useless.

232
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,440
They only become credible when combined.

233
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:47,640
So...

234
00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:51,180
what I saw and what you heard have to be combined...

235
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,850
to give our testimonies weight?

236
00:16:53,580 --> 00:16:54,650
That's exactly it.

237
00:16:55,850 --> 00:17:00,060
Your testimony alone isn't enough to claim police covered up her case.

238
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,190
But if we add...

239
00:17:01,830 --> 00:17:04,030
what I heard 30 years ago...

240
00:17:04,090 --> 00:17:08,430
We can claim they were police officers.

241
00:17:09,070 --> 00:17:11,470
So the headline for this story...

242
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,270
"A Serial Killer and a Profiler Team Up."

243
00:17:15,570 --> 00:17:16,670

00:17:17,910 --> 00:17:19,110
are teaming up?

245
00:17:21,950 --> 00:17:22,950
Yes.

246
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,880
We're going to join forces.

247
00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:30,190
Us...

248
00:17:34,830 --> 00:17:35,960
Ji Won...

249
00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:38,060
wants to see you.

250
00:17:48,140 --> 00:17:49,840
I can't say I'm happy to see you.

251
00:17:50,970 --> 00:17:52,010
You understand, right?

252
00:17:53,180 --> 00:17:54,880
What's there to say?

253
00:17:55,650 --> 00:17:57,510
I'm just grateful you came to see me.

254
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,950
Anyway, you really haven't changed a bit.

255
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,860
If I ran into you on the street, I'd recognize you in an instant.

256
00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:12,900
Do you think we'd ever run into each other on the street?

257
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:18,900
I suppose not.

258
00:18:22,170 --> 00:18:24,240
I have so many questions for you.

259
00:18:26,140 --> 00:18:29,110
But I'll just ask one thing before the interview.

260
00:18:30,180 --> 00:18:33,520
Why did you just stand by when Gi Beom was named a suspect?

261
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:40,720
It's...

262
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:44,800
I thought he'd be released.

263
00:18:46,530 --> 00:18:49,700
I knew he wasn't the culprit.

264
00:18:50,830 --> 00:18:54,610
You weren't hoping he'd take the fall, were you?

265
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:56,840
How can you say that?

266
00:18:57,340 --> 00:18:58,540
I was his brother.

267
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,410
Right, but that's what happened. You could've saved Gi Beom,

268
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:03,780
but you didn't.

269
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,230
That wasn't my fault.

270
00:19:21,630 --> 00:19:25,200
- Those darn cops killed Gi Beom. - Really?

271
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,970
I wonder if Sun Yeong and Yeong Beom would agree.

272
00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:32,480
- Yeong Beom? - Gi Beom's son.

273
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,950
He's a reporter at my news agency.

274
00:19:35,710 --> 00:19:37,050
Small world, isn't it?

275
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,790
Gi Beom always dreamed of being a reporter.

276
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,330
I heard from Tae Joo. You wanted to see Yeong Beom?

277
00:19:49,490 --> 00:19:53,230
I'll bring Yeong Beom to trial. In return, you'll testify.

278
00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:55,510
Without revealing you're his uncle or anything.

279
00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:56,930
What do you say?

280
00:20:01,140 --> 00:20:02,140
Will I...

281
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:04,710
be able to recognize him?

282
00:20:07,310 --> 00:20:08,910
You'll probably recognize him instantly.

283
00:20:09,410 --> 00:20:10,550
Just like I did.

Lee Yong Woo, the real killer of Kangseong Serial Murders,

revealed after 33 years.

We met with him in person.

Our interview with the killer, a Noise Cut exclusive.

295
00:20:57,460 --> 00:21:01,430
Yes. I killed a child on that mountain.

296
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,270
She was an eight-year-old girl.

297
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,410
But, you know, a month went by, and I heard nothing about the body.

298
00:21:10,010 --> 00:21:13,210
Is that why you did it again in the same place?

299
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:17,280
Yes. For some reason, it just felt safe.

300
00:21:17,780 --> 00:21:19,620
But that's where I saw it.

301
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,690
The child I had killed a month earlier...

302
00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:27,190
Someone was digging her out of the ground.

303
00:21:28,260 --> 00:21:31,930
And the thing is, I never even buried her.

304
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,830
- But the next day, - I get it.

305
00:21:35,930 --> 00:21:39,400
A search party scoured the mountain, but the child was gone.

306
00:21:39,770 --> 00:21:40,799
They only found the next victim,

307
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,040
killed by Lee Yong Woo, the day before the searching.

308
00:21:44,110 --> 00:21:45,110
But that...

309
00:21:46,140 --> 00:21:47,680
wasn't the end of it.

310
00:21:48,650 --> 00:21:50,910
As soon as the man left the child and vanished,

311
00:21:51,550 --> 00:21:53,620
two other guys showed up.

How can you be so sure they were different people?

314
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,190
Those two were a lot bigger.

315
00:22:00,020 --> 00:22:01,690
I also got a glimpse of their faces.

316
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,040
Would you recognize them if you saw them again?

317
00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:05,960
I don't know.

318
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,700
They made quite an impression, so...

319
00:22:09,330 --> 00:22:10,530
If I saw them again,

320
00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:12,770
I think I'd recognize them.

321
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,210
So, these unidentified men, spotted by Lee Yong Woo there.

322
00:22:20,180 --> 00:22:21,610
Who exactly were they?

323
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,480
Based on Lee Yong Woo's testimony alone,

324
00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:27,220
it was impossible to find out who they were.

325

we received another tip.

328
00:22:34,860 --> 00:22:36,660
- Just a few days ago... - What happened?

329
00:22:36,930 --> 00:22:38,559
- It's... - Kangseong Serial Murders...

330
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,660
It's an online article, so we can't stop it.

331
00:22:40,730 --> 00:22:43,200
Then what is it you can do?

332
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,740
Our source is here with us in the studio today.

333
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,300
Welcome, Profiler Kang Tae Joo.

334
00:22:47,970 --> 00:22:49,910
- Hello. - Hello.

335
00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:55,310
So a case buried 30 years ago when a partner recanted his story,

336
00:22:55,410 --> 00:22:58,050
has now resurfaced thanks to Lee Yong Woo's confession.

337
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,320
Ironically, yes.

338
00:23:01,620 --> 00:23:03,300
The truth that the police tried to bury...

339
00:23:03,820 --> 00:23:05,420
has now been exposed by a murderer.

340
00:23:08,890 --> 00:23:09,890
Kang Tae Joo.

341
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,770
(Noise Cut)

342
00:23:14,830 --> 00:23:15,930
Here, today,

343
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:19,670
I will reveal the names of those who were involved.

344
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,170
There's no need to reveal that on air.

345
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,240
Jang Myeong Do.

346
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:25,880
Do Hyeong Gu.

347
00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:27,510
- Cut the feed. - Park Dae Ho.

348
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:29,780
- And Cha Si Yeong. - Come on, what are you doing?

349
00:23:29,850 --> 00:23:31,150
(Noise Cut)

350
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:32,450
(The Live Broadcast Has Ended.)

351
00:23:32,850 --> 00:23:33,850
You, come with me.

352
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:35,390
Out! Now!

353
00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:53,740
Hey.

354
00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:56,670
What the hell do you think you're doing?

355
00:23:57,270 --> 00:24:01,410
Thirty years ago, those bastards would've done anything...

356
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,110
to stop you.

357
00:24:03,950 --> 00:24:07,420
Besides, now one's a congressman, another's a construction CEO...

358
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,250
These guys are practically untouchable.

359
00:24:10,050 --> 00:24:13,390
They won't just sue for defamation. They might do something much worse.

360
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,360
If I don't name them,

361
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,360
this whole thing will just blow over.

362
00:24:18,830 --> 00:24:21,570
People will move on. But if I get sued,

363
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,970
at least it'll stay in the news while the trial is ongoing.

364
00:24:25,340 --> 00:24:28,210
Something worse? Let them bring it on.

365
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,969
The statute of limitations of other cases expired.

366
00:24:30,970 --> 00:24:32,740
Even if it costs me my life,

367
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:35,570
I'm going to make those bastards pay for their crimes.

368
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,710
I can't believe you...

369
00:24:41,820 --> 00:24:44,290
Have you really been living this way all this time?

370
00:24:45,460 --> 00:24:48,100
How can you talk about being okay with dying right in front of me?

371
00:24:50,790 --> 00:24:51,830
Ji Won.

372
00:24:57,270 --> 00:24:59,170
I just found you again...

373
00:25:01,300 --> 00:25:04,240
After 30 years, do I have to lose you again?

374
00:25:10,050 --> 00:25:11,050
I'm sorry.

375
00:25:14,750 --> 00:25:15,750
This time,

376
00:25:16,250 --> 00:25:17,420
you're not alone.

377
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,120
I won't let you fight this alone.

378
00:25:23,290 --> 00:25:24,360
You hear me?

379
00:25:27,830 --> 00:25:29,830
(Noise Cut)

380
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:35,470
Secretary Kim.

381
00:25:36,010 --> 00:25:37,810
Is my mother not in her office by any chance?

382
00:25:38,010 --> 00:25:39,280
She's not answering her phone.

383
00:25:41,540 --> 00:25:42,580
She went where?

384
00:25:43,150 --> 00:25:45,180
- We just told you. - Please, don't swear.

385
00:25:45,250 --> 00:25:46,656
Our representative isn't that kind of person.

386
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,650
- Please, calm down... - We just told you.

387
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,520
- Come on, it's just a sob story... - Please calm down. Don't curse...

388
00:25:52,620 --> 00:25:54,700
I'm telling you, our representative isn't like that.

389
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,360
I'll call back later.

390
00:26:03,930 --> 00:26:05,940
Was what happened to Hye Jin your doing too?

391
00:26:06,700 --> 00:26:07,870
No, it wasn't.

392
00:26:08,570 --> 00:26:10,010
Not you too. What's gotten into you?

393
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,520
What do you hope to accomplish by falling for such baseless rumors?

394
00:26:15,110 --> 00:26:16,150
Baseless rumors?

395
00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:19,550
You think I don't know Kang Tae Joo?

396
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,920
If my brother said that on TV, he's putting everything on the line.

397
00:26:24,990 --> 00:26:26,550
And if he's putting it all on the line,

398
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,130
- it means it's the truth. - "Your brother?"

399
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:33,490
I can't believe you're still calling that bastard that.

400
00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:35,670
You've never once...

401
00:26:37,970 --> 00:26:39,340
How could you do this to me?

402
00:26:39,740 --> 00:26:43,940
Do you have any idea what I've done to protect someone like you?

403
00:26:44,010 --> 00:26:45,010
And yet,

404
00:26:45,810 --> 00:26:48,310
as if killing the father of my child wasn't enough,

405
00:26:48,810 --> 00:26:50,410
you went after my student too?

406
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,880

(Cha Si Yeong, Singukdang Party Assemblyman)

409
00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,320
Mom.

410
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:01,860
Let's go.

411
00:27:08,260 --> 00:27:09,270
Yeong Beom.

412
00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:12,700
Yeong Beom.

413
00:27:28,390 --> 00:27:30,250
Are you okay?

414
00:27:32,590 --> 00:27:33,590
My father...

415
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:36,590
Where did you lay him to rest?

416
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,170
Isn't it time you told me?

417

(Lee Gi Beom)

420
00:28:12,660 --> 00:28:13,660
I'm sorry.

421
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,430
I'm late.

422
00:28:15,530 --> 00:28:17,530
(Lee Gi Beom)

423
00:28:23,810 --> 00:28:24,810
Father.

424
00:28:28,010 --> 00:28:29,150
Your maternal uncle...

425
00:28:30,350 --> 00:28:32,550
was the prosecutor in charge of your father's case.

426
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,820
He illegally arrested your father and ordered his torture.

427
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,560
I don't understand.

428
00:28:44,430 --> 00:28:46,799
But you're his sister, and were engaged to my father. How?

429
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,160
Back then, he and I...

430
00:28:48,870 --> 00:28:50,600
were worse than strangers.

431
00:28:51,070 --> 00:28:52,840
We certainly weren't brother and sister.

432
00:28:53,900 --> 00:28:55,510
It was only after your father died...

433
00:28:56,540 --> 00:28:57,540
that I...

434
00:28:58,910 --> 00:29:01,310
found out I was your grandfather's illegitimate child.

435
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,280
I wasn't Cha Sun Yeong.

436
00:29:07,380 --> 00:29:09,090
I had been living as Kang Sun Yeong.

437
00:29:10,890 --> 00:29:11,920
Kang Sun Yeong?

438
00:29:14,990 --> 00:29:16,030
Kang Sun Yeong...

439
00:29:17,660 --> 00:29:19,630
was an ordinary elementary school teacher.

440
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,170
She had a brother.

441
00:29:25,900 --> 00:29:26,900
His name...

442
00:29:33,210 --> 00:29:34,380
was Kang Tae Joo.

443
00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:38,520
He's your uncle too.

444
00:29:42,850 --> 00:29:43,850
Cha Si Yeong.

445
00:29:44,650 --> 00:29:46,790
Because he loved you like you were his own son,

446
00:29:47,890 --> 00:29:49,630
I tried to forgive him.

447
00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:52,030
I was going to bury it all.

448
00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:54,860
But...

449
00:29:55,700 --> 00:29:57,330
now, I see I can't.

450
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,440
The person you are calling is unavailable...

451
00:30:19,390 --> 00:30:22,290
Why aren't you... Why aren't you picking up?

452
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:28,700
Listen, Yeong Beom, all that stuff on the news...

453
00:30:29,070 --> 00:30:30,310
That's all a bunch of nonsense.

454
00:30:30,770 --> 00:30:33,200
You just have to trust me.

455
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:34,700
All right?

456
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:37,840
I don't care what you did.

457
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,310
I won't leave you.

458
00:30:41,380 --> 00:30:42,380
Because...

459
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:46,980
I genuinely care about you.

460
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:52,260
So please, just tell me the truth.

461
00:30:53,190 --> 00:30:55,090
Just admit what you did wrong. Just be honest.

462
00:30:57,460 --> 00:30:58,490
No.

463
00:30:59,830 --> 00:31:00,830
I said no!

464
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,570
You know what I don't get?

465
00:31:08,070 --> 00:31:12,310
My father was tortured to death. Fine, let's say it was an accident.

466
00:31:12,980 --> 00:31:15,100
But that should've meant it would never happen again.

467
00:31:15,980 --> 00:31:17,210
But you did it again!

468
00:31:18,750 --> 00:31:21,120
You created another victim just like him.

469
00:31:27,390 --> 00:31:29,270
- Yeong Beom. - Apologize to Mr. Im Seok Man...

470
00:31:30,330 --> 00:31:33,260
and Yoon Hye Jin's family, and beg for their forgiveness.

471
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:42,910
Uncle.

472
00:31:44,940 --> 00:31:46,140
I'll be right there with you.

473
00:31:49,580 --> 00:31:52,320
I'll be by your side, begging with you.

474
00:31:53,180 --> 00:31:54,220
So please, Uncle...

475
00:31:55,790 --> 00:31:56,790
Okay?

476
00:31:58,020 --> 00:31:59,120
Please.

477
00:32:09,530 --> 00:32:11,670
Did you abuse Mr. Im Seok Man at the time?

478
00:32:11,730 --> 00:32:14,300
Did you find Ms. Yoon Hye Jin's body and bury it?

479
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:16,286
Assemblyman Cha, please just give us a statement!

480
00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:19,540
- Tell us the truth! - I will reveal everything in court.

481
00:32:29,450 --> 00:32:33,290
If you get any incriminating or unnecessary questions,

482
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,240
you can exercise your right to remain silent...

483
00:32:37,390 --> 00:32:38,390
You guys go on ahead.

484
00:32:50,540 --> 00:32:51,910
That was a reckless move,

485
00:32:53,340 --> 00:32:54,380
and so unlike you.

486
00:32:56,210 --> 00:32:57,410
Reckless?

487
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,020
This has been 30 years in the making.

488
00:33:07,220 --> 00:33:10,530
Then and now,

489
00:33:11,890 --> 00:33:12,900
we're on parallel paths.

490
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,970
No matter how much time passes or how hard we try,

491
00:33:19,070 --> 00:33:20,500
our paths will never cross.

492
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,140
There was a time, however brief,

493
00:33:25,410 --> 00:33:26,780
when we were friends.

494
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:32,380
What drove us apart back then...

495
00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:36,290
You called it a misunderstanding, but no.

496
00:33:37,290 --> 00:33:41,590
We'd have been on opposite sides. Just like now.

497
00:33:42,730 --> 00:33:46,030
Because I figured it out.

498
00:33:47,060 --> 00:33:48,820
I found out what kind of man you really are.

499
00:33:52,670 --> 00:33:54,750
Once I truly understood you, I could finally see it.

500
00:33:55,770 --> 00:33:59,710
The real reason for the violence you subjected me to in school.

501
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:06,580
It was fear.

502
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,490
You were afraid...

503
00:34:11,290 --> 00:34:14,390
that your father and your family wouldn't accept you.

504
00:34:15,690 --> 00:34:17,250
You were terrified of being cast aside.

505
00:34:18,130 --> 00:34:22,670
That's why you tried to destroy me, the boy you mistook for his son.

506
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040
Is that so?

507
00:34:31,610 --> 00:34:34,210
Don't get too carried away with your delusions.

508
00:34:36,180 --> 00:34:39,280
What do you... What could you know about me?

509
00:34:39,350 --> 00:34:41,750
If I'd known how scared you really were back then,

510
00:34:43,650 --> 00:34:45,320
I would've stayed by your side.

511
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,260
But that's not who you are.

512
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,060
You'd never keep a friend who knows your weakness.

513
00:34:57,070 --> 00:34:59,000
That's the difference between you and me.

514
00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:05,580
And yet...

515
00:35:14,220 --> 00:35:15,590
What's your angle here?

516
00:35:16,690 --> 00:35:18,150
Admitting you were wrong...

517
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,760
It's a hard choice, I know.

518
00:35:22,290 --> 00:35:23,530
It must be terrifying.

519
00:35:24,130 --> 00:35:26,250
Especially for someone like you with so much to lose.

520
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,130
But if we do this together...

521
00:35:30,070 --> 00:35:32,570
Wouldn't it be better if we paid for our crimes together?

522
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:35,910
What do you say?

523
00:35:37,870 --> 00:35:39,680
Now it's your turn to take my hand.

524
00:35:59,900 --> 00:36:00,960
As for my answer,

525
00:36:03,430 --> 00:36:04,470
I'll give it in court.

526
00:36:11,410 --> 00:36:13,140
Should I give false testimony,

527
00:36:14,110 --> 00:36:17,210
I swear to be subject to the penalties of perjury.

528
00:36:19,220 --> 00:36:21,150
Witness, you may be seated.

529
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:30,530
Witness, you led the prosecution on the seventh case, correct?

530
00:36:30,590 --> 00:36:33,100
(Witness Stand)

531
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,160
Yes, that is correct.

532
00:36:35,970 --> 00:36:41,600
Witness, was the confession coerced in any way?

533
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:02,590
To my knowledge,

534
00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:09,700
there was no coercion or abuse whatsoever.

535
00:37:20,110 --> 00:37:21,310
And how can you be so sure?

536
00:37:21,980 --> 00:37:23,550
If something like that had happened,

537
00:37:25,180 --> 00:37:30,420
the defendant would've told me, the prosecutor on the case.

538
00:37:31,150 --> 00:37:34,760
But he made no such complaints or requests.

539
00:37:35,590 --> 00:37:42,270
So you believe Lee Yong Woo is lying about the seventh case?

540
00:37:46,370 --> 00:37:48,500
That requires further investigation, but...

541
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,240
With serial killers,

542
00:37:54,210 --> 00:37:58,150
it's not uncommon for them to make false confessions.

543
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,750
For a serial killer like Lee Yong Woo,

544
00:38:02,050 --> 00:38:07,960
their body count is like a badge of honor.

545
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,360
The one who kills the most becomes the top dog.

546
00:38:13,060 --> 00:38:17,129
That's why, even for crimes they didn't commit,

547
00:38:17,130 --> 00:38:19,240
they might make a false confession.

548
00:38:20,270 --> 00:38:22,170
You could call it a desire for notoriety.

549
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,550
Do you have anything further to add?

550
00:38:39,260 --> 00:38:44,130
Recently, a certain unverified media outlet...

551
00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:49,770
made claims that are frankly unspeakable.

552
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:52,130
And I've thought to myself.

553
00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:57,670
Why do I have to endure such insults?

554
00:38:58,610 --> 00:39:01,240
Yes, it's true we failed to catch the culprit back then.

555
00:39:01,810 --> 00:39:04,480
And some of you might see that as a failure.

556
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:05,780
But...

557
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:12,050
The many members of law enforcement assigned to that case...

558
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:18,260
Every single one of them put their lives on the line.

559
00:39:19,430 --> 00:39:21,830
We even managed to save a victim.

560
00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:29,740
And I myself was stabbed and hovered between life and death for days.

561
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,480
If I were in that situation again, I would do the exact same thing.

562
00:39:34,540 --> 00:39:37,050
And I mean that with all my heart.

563
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:41,080
So...

564
00:39:43,850 --> 00:39:45,890
If you can just have a little faith and be patient,

565
00:39:46,420 --> 00:39:47,920
the truth will soon come to light.

566
00:39:49,730 --> 00:39:54,530
Lies can never overcome the truth.

567
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,710
Nothing further.

568
00:40:10,510 --> 00:40:12,270
Your testimony today was absolutely perfect.

569
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,800
I think you can finally breathe a little easier.

570
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:16,720
Frankly, I'm disappointed.

571
00:40:21,260 --> 00:40:22,790
Could you give us a moment?

572
00:40:29,530 --> 00:40:30,970
I know it's not an easy thing to do.

573
00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:35,600
For someone like you to admit fault and ask for forgiveness...

574
00:40:36,310 --> 00:40:37,440
You'd have a lot to lose.

575
00:40:38,710 --> 00:40:40,190
And that's why it takes real courage.

576
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,020
All I need is you.

577
00:40:52,250 --> 00:40:53,820
I don't need anything else.

578
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,160
Then you should have made a different choice.

579
00:41:01,060 --> 00:41:03,070
I answered according to my conscience.

580
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,670
I did the right thing.

581
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,540
And that's what got me to where I am today.

582
00:41:11,110 --> 00:41:12,580
As for your claims, Assemblyman...

583
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:15,910
I will verify every last word.

584
00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:20,280
I will not forget that you raised me.

585
00:41:22,450 --> 00:41:24,930
From now on, I'll be coming to you as Reporter Cha Yeong Beom.

586
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:51,480
Your Honor.

587
00:41:52,310 --> 00:41:54,679
I call Lee Yong Woo to the stand,

588
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,490
the killer in the Kangseong Serial Murders.

589
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,620
Mr. Lee, you claim to be the killer in the seventh murder case.

590
00:42:33,260 --> 00:42:35,960
Is there anything else you remember about the crime scene that day?

591
00:42:37,490 --> 00:42:40,029
(2 Ha 1)

592
00:42:40,030 --> 00:42:44,000
Are you doubting me too, Counselor?

593
00:42:47,170 --> 00:42:51,540
The prosecutor over there doesn't believe a word I say.

594
00:42:52,370 --> 00:42:54,680
No. We just want to be thorough.

595
00:43:05,990 --> 00:43:08,390
To make your testimony more credible,

596
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,700
it helps to include sensory details.

597
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:18,030
What you saw, heard, and touched that day.

598
00:43:24,910 --> 00:43:25,910
That room...

599
00:43:28,180 --> 00:43:29,180
Should I draw it for you?

600
00:43:42,090 --> 00:43:46,859
(Witness Stand)

601
00:43:46,860 --> 00:43:47,860
Here.

602
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:09,250
I went in through the main gate, like this.

603
00:44:09,750 --> 00:44:11,950
Then I crouched down in front of the porch like this,

604
00:44:12,190 --> 00:44:16,930
then got on the porch, poked a hole in the door,

605
00:44:17,890 --> 00:44:19,130
and looked inside.

606
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,770
Then I opened the door and went in.

607
00:44:24,570 --> 00:44:26,500
There was a small, low-legged desk there.

608
00:44:26,570 --> 00:44:27,600
(Desk)

609
00:44:27,670 --> 00:44:28,900
I stepped on it to get over.

610
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,480
And the child was lying there, with her head this way.

611
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,280
She was in sleep.

612
00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:40,980
She must have been sound asleep because her breathing was steady.

613
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:43,650
That put me at ease.

614
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:52,630
I'd like to submit the crime scene report as evidence.

615
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,110
(The Bench)

616
00:45:04,370 --> 00:45:06,110
(Lee Yong Woo)

617
00:45:06,410 --> 00:45:08,039
(Closet, Shelf, Desk, Mirror...)

618
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:09,040
Witness.

619
00:45:09,850 --> 00:45:12,550
Finally, do you have anything to say to the defendant?

620
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,360
It's truly...

621
00:45:26,860 --> 00:45:27,860
a shame.

622
00:45:33,100 --> 00:45:38,210
That an innocent man was branded a murderer for a crime I committed.

623
00:45:39,780 --> 00:45:42,339
I hope my testimony exposes those...

624
00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:44,880
who framed the accused and profited...

625
00:45:46,250 --> 00:45:49,550
and those who hid the body of the child I killed,

626
00:45:50,090 --> 00:45:54,120
concealing her fate from his own family.

627
00:45:56,130 --> 00:45:57,790
May all their wicked deeds...

628
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:01,930
be brought into the light.

629
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:11,140
So you have no intention of apologizing to the defendant?

630
00:46:16,180 --> 00:46:17,250
An apology?

631
00:46:38,270 --> 00:46:41,700
Muwon District Court, Case Number 2019-Jaegohap-22.

632
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,510
I will now deliver the verdict for defendant Im Seok Man.

633
00:46:46,980 --> 00:46:50,709
The confession was coerced during an illegal detainment...

634
00:46:50,710 --> 00:46:52,849
through the abuse.

635
00:46:52,850 --> 00:46:55,220
And therefore has no evidentiary value.

636
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,150
In contrast, Lee Yong Woo's account is highly specific...

637
00:46:59,220 --> 00:47:02,120
and is therefore deemed to be objectively credible.

638
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:05,589
The Radioactive Isotope Analysis results,

639
00:47:05,590 --> 00:47:08,000
used to identify the defendant,

640
00:47:08,630 --> 00:47:12,200
also contain errors and conflicts, making them unreliable.

641
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,310
Therefore, the court sentences as follows.

642
00:47:19,710 --> 00:47:20,710
Order.

643
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,280
The defendant is found not guilty.

644
00:47:38,660 --> 00:47:41,860
Due to the illegal actions of past investigative agencies,

645
00:47:42,330 --> 00:47:44,530
a verdict was reached that should never have been made.

646
00:47:45,830 --> 00:47:49,240
To the defendant, who has suffered during his long incarceration,

647
00:47:50,410 --> 00:47:52,470
as a member of the judiciary,

648
00:47:53,540 --> 00:47:55,010
I offer you my sincerest apologies.

649
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:49,670
I'm so glad the trial ended well.

650
00:48:51,170 --> 00:48:52,530
It's all thanks to you, Counselor.

651
00:48:54,700 --> 00:48:58,940
By the way, how is Hye Jin's case coming along?

652
00:48:59,110 --> 00:49:02,880
I've filed a complaint against the officers who concealed the body,

653
00:49:03,350 --> 00:49:05,480
and we should hear soon if they'll be indicted.

654
00:49:10,550 --> 00:49:13,990
You're acquitted after 30 years. How do you feel?

655
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,860
It still doesn't feel real.

656
00:49:19,330 --> 00:49:23,230
The judiciary formally apologized. Do you intend to accept it?

657
00:49:23,770 --> 00:49:25,800
What fault is it of theirs?

658
00:49:26,540 --> 00:49:29,940
I've heard nothing from the people who should actually be apologizing.

659
00:49:31,470 --> 00:49:34,780
But if they were to repent even now,

660
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,510
I would forgive them.

661
00:49:58,330 --> 00:49:59,330
Ji Hye.

662
00:50:07,180 --> 00:50:08,310
Seok Man.

663
00:50:23,190 --> 00:50:26,830
Is that really you? You've gotten so old.

664
00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:28,430
I'm so sorry.

665
00:50:29,730 --> 00:50:30,770
All this time...

666
00:50:32,170 --> 00:50:35,170
I never even came to visit.

667
00:50:36,140 --> 00:50:40,240
No, why are you sorry? I'm the one who should be sorry.

668
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:44,650
I never should have let you go like that.

669
00:50:45,510 --> 00:50:47,120
You've been living well, right?

670
00:50:48,780 --> 00:50:51,290
You haven't had a hard time because of me, have you?

671
00:50:59,060 --> 00:51:02,100
Tae Ho, go say hi to your uncle.

672
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:04,600
Uncle, do you...

673
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:07,270
recognize me?

674
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:11,840
Of course, you're Tae Ho. My goodness, Tae Ho...

675
00:51:12,570 --> 00:51:16,210
You were just a little kid. When did you get so big?

676
00:51:17,650 --> 00:51:18,770
You've been through so much.

677
00:51:19,710 --> 00:51:20,720
Oh, my.

678
00:51:21,620 --> 00:51:24,320
Oh, my goodness.

679
00:51:30,490 --> 00:51:31,730
I'm so sorry.

680
00:51:33,260 --> 00:51:35,129
We have the verdict for the retrial...

681
00:51:35,130 --> 00:51:37,870
of the seventh Lee Yong Woo serial murder case.

682
00:51:38,330 --> 00:51:41,340
The man identified as the killer and spent 20 years in prison,

683
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,310
Mr. Im Seok Man, has been acquitted.

684
00:51:44,770 --> 00:51:49,610
Mr. Im said the truth is finally out over 30 years after the incident,

685
00:51:49,780 --> 00:51:51,910
expressing how overwhelmed he is with emotion.

686
00:51:52,650 --> 00:51:55,320
- It still hasn't really sunk in. - What is all this?

687
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,766
I'm just stepping out for a minute. Why?

688
00:51:56,790 --> 00:51:58,749
They issued a formal apology. Do you intend to accept it?

689
00:51:58,750 --> 00:52:02,190
- Why? - What fault is it of theirs?

690
00:52:02,690 --> 00:52:04,036
This will be all over the news for a while.

691
00:52:04,060 --> 00:52:06,706
I've heard nothing from the people who should actually be apologizing.

692
00:52:06,730 --> 00:52:10,700
- When will you be back? - That's up to you, isn't it?

693
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,730
Just sort it out quickly. Got it?

694
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:14,970
Darn, am I just getting old?

695
00:52:17,310 --> 00:52:19,540
I'm sick of living abroad. I'm so sick of it.

696
00:52:19,610 --> 00:52:22,780
Just as sick as I am of you, you fool.

697
00:52:23,140 --> 00:52:25,350
("Prosecution and Police Apologize to Mr. Im")

698
00:52:30,820 --> 00:52:33,460
(MJU)

699
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,890
("You wounded us in the name of justice.")

700
00:52:36,020 --> 00:52:38,390
("Who is the real evil? The Professor? Or them?")

701
00:52:38,460 --> 00:52:40,540
("Why does everyone hate me for telling the truth?")

702
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:45,200
Mr. Cha.

703
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,340
Just leave it. More will just pile up anyway.

704
00:52:49,740 --> 00:52:50,970
Okay? Just leave it.

705
00:52:52,940 --> 00:52:54,980
Anyway, what brings you here?

706
00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:58,080
Don't you feel like this is unfair?

707
00:52:58,850 --> 00:53:00,410
You're not the one to blame, Professor.

708
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:05,450
I'm to blame as well.

709
00:53:07,090 --> 00:53:09,190
If anything, this punishment is long overdue.

710
00:53:10,230 --> 00:53:13,960
If I see this as paying for my sins with 30 years of interest,

711
00:53:15,030 --> 00:53:16,630
then I've got nothing to complain about.

712
00:53:17,100 --> 00:53:19,020
But there are others who deserve to be punished.

713
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:24,610
Then let it start with me.

714
00:53:25,170 --> 00:53:26,170
Here.

715
00:53:27,780 --> 00:53:28,780
Oh, man.

716
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:32,380
Have you eaten?

717
00:53:33,750 --> 00:53:36,050
Did you get something to eat?

718
00:53:37,050 --> 00:53:38,490
I'm not really in the mood to eat...

719
00:53:43,730 --> 00:53:46,030
Yes, I've eaten.

720
00:53:47,630 --> 00:53:49,000
Make sure you're eating well.

721
00:53:50,130 --> 00:53:51,490
And take good care of your mother.

722
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:53,880
My mom's busier than I am these days.

723
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,570
Yesterday, she met with Im Seok Man and apologized.

724
00:53:56,870 --> 00:53:58,710
And today, she's rounding up talented lawyers.

725
00:53:59,610 --> 00:54:01,280
Lawyers? Why?

726
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:02,920
Because of you, Professor.

727
00:54:04,110 --> 00:54:06,390
Many lawsuits and complaints have been filed against you.

728
00:54:06,780 --> 00:54:08,500
My mom is on a complete warpath these days.

729
00:54:09,450 --> 00:54:11,920
She acts like she'll destroy anyone who messes with you...

730
00:54:24,030 --> 00:54:26,840
Next time, I'll come on an empty stomach.

731
00:54:29,970 --> 00:54:30,970
So we can eat together.

732
00:54:32,110 --> 00:54:33,110
Uncle.

733
00:54:44,550 --> 00:54:46,320
This is my last day visiting.

734
00:54:47,890 --> 00:54:49,560
Someone else will be taking over for me.

735
00:54:50,090 --> 00:54:51,090
How come?

736
00:54:51,530 --> 00:54:53,130
I'm also connected to this case, so...

737
00:54:54,900 --> 00:54:57,060
there's talk that I'm not suited for this job anymore.

738
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,670
- No, in that case, I'll insist... - No.

739
00:55:02,270 --> 00:55:03,590
There's no need for that anymore.

740
00:55:10,010 --> 00:55:12,050
Or is it just that I'm no longer of any use to you?

741
00:55:14,220 --> 00:55:18,020
You know, "I got what I wanted, so we're done." Is that it?

742
00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:20,990
No.

743
00:55:23,060 --> 00:55:24,960
Unfortunately, this is far from over.

744
00:55:25,390 --> 00:55:26,490
No indictment?

745
00:55:27,500 --> 00:55:28,500
Why?

746
00:55:29,130 --> 00:55:31,270
They said the statute of limitations has expired.

747
00:55:32,130 --> 00:55:34,340
What statute of limitations? The police...

748
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,270
They're the ones who covered it up.

749
00:55:37,910 --> 00:55:41,910
So they can just get away with shirking duty till they retire?

750
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,350
Dad, Dad, please calm down. Just calm down, okay?

751
00:55:47,220 --> 00:55:50,820
None of the culprits in Hye Jin's case were ever punished.

752
00:55:51,490 --> 00:55:54,620
- It's infuriating... - If you fight until the very end,

753
00:55:54,690 --> 00:55:57,160
- and so unjust... - if you never stop,

754
00:55:57,760 --> 00:55:59,960
- Please, calm down. - then a loss isn't a true defeat.

755
00:56:00,860 --> 00:56:02,330
Why go to such lengths?

756
00:56:03,570 --> 00:56:05,670
It's not like you can change the world.

757
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:07,500
Back in those days...

758
00:56:09,570 --> 00:56:12,040
while I was busy chasing you, the scarecrow,

759
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:15,560
I realized I had become a scarecrow myself.

760
00:56:20,420 --> 00:56:23,420
You, me, and them...

761
00:56:24,550 --> 00:56:26,190
We were all just scarecrows.

762
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,790
I'm trying to snap out of it and finally live like a real person.

763
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:35,960
Scarecrows?

764
00:56:37,170 --> 00:56:39,030
But we're different.

765
00:56:39,730 --> 00:56:41,700
We brought the truth to light.

766
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,410
Don't you dare think for a second that you did the right thing.

767
00:56:51,910 --> 00:56:54,350
This whole tragedy started with you.

768
00:57:09,260 --> 00:57:11,070
Never forget that.

769
00:57:12,930 --> 00:57:13,970
For the rest of your life.

770
00:57:17,810 --> 00:57:19,470
(Access Card)

771
00:57:29,250 --> 00:57:30,250
Tae Joo.

772
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:34,720
Later,

773
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,860
could you come and visit me?

774
00:57:41,860 --> 00:57:43,130
Not as a profiler,

775
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:47,400
but as a friend.

776
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,280
If...

777
00:57:56,380 --> 00:57:57,450
And this is a big if...

778
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,950
If the day ever comes when you truly repent for what you've done,

779
00:58:06,490 --> 00:58:07,690
I'll think about it then.

780
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:12,530
If, as you wish,

781
00:58:14,260 --> 00:58:16,180
once you've righted all the wrongs in the world,

782
00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:22,100
I hope you'll let me know then.

783
00:58:25,110 --> 00:58:26,910
Tell me how this story ends.

784
00:58:55,970 --> 00:58:59,640
So, this is your last profiling session.

785
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:02,540
Thank you for all your hard work.

786
00:59:10,050 --> 00:59:13,520
I remember when I first came here.

787
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,730
Back then, this place felt like an endless maze.

788
00:59:26,730 --> 00:59:28,300
I wonder if I'll ever be back.

789
00:59:31,740 --> 00:59:32,740
Hard to say.

790
00:59:34,810 --> 00:59:36,210
I hope I can be.

791
00:59:40,180 --> 00:59:41,620
Good work, Officer Lee.

792
00:59:55,530 --> 00:59:58,030
I had a dream.

793
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,710
You know how some days are.

794
01:00:05,340 --> 01:00:07,680
The kind that everyone probably has at least once.

795
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:10,240
That kind of day.

796
01:00:12,650 --> 01:00:15,720
What took you so long? Couldn't you come and help early?

797
01:00:16,220 --> 01:00:17,396
All the guests are here already.

798
01:00:17,420 --> 01:00:19,549
Hey, use your head. I was arresting a robber.

799
01:00:19,550 --> 01:00:21,496
How can I come here for his first birthday early?

800
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:24,000
You're his one and only uncle. Of course, you have to be here.

801
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,000
- Go say hi to the guests. - Gosh, so adorable.

802
01:00:29,530 --> 01:00:32,030
Jeez, it's not like the baby knows. Why make such a big deal?

803
01:00:33,740 --> 01:00:36,500
And so, in the distant future,

804
01:00:37,370 --> 01:00:40,780
it seemed like a day no one would remember.

805
01:00:41,210 --> 01:00:42,710
- Grab it. - Go on, pick one.

806
01:00:42,780 --> 01:00:44,480
- Gosh. - No, no, no.

807
01:00:45,310 --> 01:00:46,980
- Quick. - Grab the thread!

808
01:00:47,150 --> 01:00:49,030
- What's he doing here again? - Grab the money!

809
01:01:16,980 --> 01:01:18,180
But then I realized.

810
01:01:20,850 --> 01:01:22,550
In 1988,

811
01:01:25,420 --> 01:01:27,090
for those of us who lived in Kangseong,

812
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,030
it was a day we never got to have.

813
01:01:47,910 --> 01:01:51,110
A day we miss with all our hearts.

814
01:01:53,710 --> 01:01:54,920
That's the kind of day it was.

815
01:01:58,790 --> 01:02:01,020
The people I failed to protect,

816
01:02:05,790 --> 01:02:06,790
my hometown,

817
01:02:13,370 --> 01:02:15,440
all my memories were right there.

818
01:02:29,650 --> 01:02:31,130
I told you not to hit me on the head.

819
01:02:31,620 --> 01:02:33,980
How could you be late for your own nephew's first birthday?

820
01:02:37,290 --> 01:02:38,290
Is it nice?

821
01:02:38,830 --> 01:02:39,830
Yes, it is.

822
01:02:59,250 --> 01:03:00,520
I didn't want to wake up.

823
01:03:03,620 --> 01:03:06,550
Wait, so even in your dreams, I still hit you on the head first?

824
01:03:06,850 --> 01:03:07,960
What's that all about?

825
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,840
Guess I must have missed it.

826
01:03:11,190 --> 01:03:15,960
- You smacking me on the head often. - Don't you worry.

827
01:03:16,530 --> 01:03:21,340
I've got 30 years' worth of head-smacking to catch up on.

828
01:03:21,870 --> 01:03:22,870
I'd like that.

829
01:03:26,070 --> 01:03:27,340
Gosh, I'm so jealous.

830
01:03:29,310 --> 01:03:31,310
I wish I could have a dream like that.

831
01:03:33,050 --> 01:03:34,150
In Kangseong...

832
01:03:35,580 --> 01:03:40,390
If that hadn't happened... I wonder how our lives would be.

833
01:03:41,290 --> 01:03:42,290
At the very least,

834
01:03:43,930 --> 01:03:44,930
everyone...

835
01:03:49,630 --> 01:03:50,870
would still be together.

836
01:04:36,210 --> 01:04:38,710
