LOTTE ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS

A REALIES PICTURES PRODUCTION

Yoo Min-ho, suspect in the murder of Ms. Kim Se-hee, was released today

after his arrest warrant was nullified.

Despite his infamous marriage to Lee Ji-yeon,

the daughter of the Na-in Group founder,

authorities believe he had an affair with the slain Ms. Kim.

The prosecution hopes to acquire more evidence and get a new warrant,

while Mr. Yoo is considering his options to hire a defense lawyer.

Hello?

Yes, I'll leave right away.

You have reached your destination.

Mr. Yoo Min-ho? I'm Attorney Yang Shin-ae.

Hello.

Attorney Jang called me. He said you were hurrying over.

I was heading to the hotel when I received new info.

It couldn't wait until our meeting tomorrow morning.

Can I come in?

Thanks.

I guess Attorney Jang is busy.

He'll be here as soon as he can. This way.

You must be tired from the all-night interrogation.

This is a long way away.

I had to escape the press.

I don't know about the press, but the prosecution is watching you.

Policemen are stationed five minutes from here.

YANG SHIN-AE ATTORNEY-AT-LAW

Coffee okay?

This is the chairman's family cabin?

It used to be.

His wife's family graves were nearby, but since they were moved, no one comes.

Just me sometimes, to clear my head.

Thank you for taking on the defense.

Let me be clear.

I'll decide whether to do it after hearing the whole story.

And it's the chairman you should thank.

I never imagined the warrant would be nullified.

The prosecution obtained game-changing evidence.

A new arrest warrant could be issued at dawn.

Arrest warrant? But I didn't kill her.

The prosecution thinks otherwise.

- What do you think? - I read your testimony.

There are too many holes in your story. Let's hear it from the beginning.

How long were you seeing Kim Se-hee?

It started about a year ago, but it ended last fall.

So why did you see her again?

I received a blackmail threat that morning.

I had to pay one billion won or they'd reveal the affair.

I didn't have that much cash on me, so I took what I had.

Checking in?

Room 514, please.

Your guest has already gone up to the room.

I was unaware that we'd both received the same threat.

They'd said to wait in the room, so we did.

- Had you been there with Se-hee before? - No.

Why would they want you at such a remote place?

Does that matter?

You must explain all the details to get an innocent verdict.

Why didn't you report it?

The affair was already over… and I didn't want my wife to know.

You have a lot to lose if your affair were revealed, yes?

I never thought of it that way.

Please continue.

We waited for about an hour.

What's going on?

Something's not right.

Let's get out of here.

When I woke up, I heard knocking on the door.

Excuse me, sir?

Are you in there?

Sir, this is the police.

Please open the door.

This is the police. Open the door!

We're responding to a call. Are you in there?

Se-hee! Se-hee!

Se-hee, wake up.

Help!

Help!

Se-hee…

Freeze!

Hands up!

Slowly.

Slowly, step back.

Come out!

It wasn't me.

- I didn't do this. - Step outside.

- Don't move! - I said it wasn't me.

- Don't move! - Someone else was here!

Stay still!

Don't move!

Someone else is here!

Someone else is here!

According to police records,

a housekeeper was outside room 514 at that time,

but she didn't see anyone exit the room.

Besides, it's impossible to leave the room with the door chain locked.

So the only place left is the balcony, but that too was locked from the inside.

They checked every possible means of entry and found nothing.

The police see this as a locked-room crime,

so if your testimony is true,

did the criminal just vanish from the crime scene?

I don't know.

- How did he get in? - Must've been inside already.

This is all a conspiracy to make me look like the culprit.

- Who? - I don't know.

The police should catch him.

You need more than intelligence to create good testimony.

You need creativity.

Your testimony has no creativity.

I'm telling the truth. Why do I need creativity?

According to your testimony, you're the only one who saw a third person.

You're obviously the criminal.

Ms. Yang.

It wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

MANAGER HAN SEUNG-YOON

Hello?

Is that confirmed?

Yes.

Yes.

Okay, then.

I found out what the new evidence is.

The name of a witness at the crime scene.

How is that possible?

- You called it a locked-room crime. - That's right.

There can't be any witnesses to Kim Se-hee's murder.

Then what crime did the prosecution's new witness see?

I don't follow.

My clients typically fall into two groups.

Some clients confess and cooperate.

And some think they can go free without a drop of blood on their hands.

MISSING PERSON

If you didn't recognize him, you would've looked closer.

You glanced away quickly, so you know this person.

Is the new witness connected to this missing persons case?

If your lawyer doesn't know what the prosecution knows, it's a lost cause.

I need to know everything to rebut the witness's testimony.

Tell me.

If you keep wasting time,

the prosecution will have the upper hand and you'll be arrested.

MISSING PERSON

It was two months ago.

JI-YEON

Hi, honey.

- Where are you? - Busan.

- Everything okay? - Conferences are all the same.

- Discussions, meetings… - You sound tired.

You'll be fine.

Dad expects great things from you.

Doesn't he expect a grandchild more than anything?

How about we meet face-to-face?

Coming to the opening today?

Are the preparations going well?

Please answer the question.

You're coming, right?

Hello?

Hello?

Sorry, what did you say?

When will you leave?

As soon as I finish up here.

- Hurry, I miss you. - Me too.

- Are you leaving already? - It's late.

Stay a bit longer. You're not sober yet.

Drive for me, will you?

The two of you came here?

We had no other place to go unnoticed.

Se-hee liked it here, but I felt uncomfortable.

- What? - My bracelet.

- I left it at the cabin. - I'll get it next time.

WONGYE-RO ROAD

- Turn right. - Not the main road?

It's a shortcut. And no cameras.

What's wrong?

I'm tired.

Tired of lying.

You're honest with me.

I have to lie to everyone except you.

Remember what we said when we first met?

Just being together is enough. That's all we need to think about.

One can't have everything.

So, do you want to choose just one?

I'm not interested in marriage.

That's why we're perfect for each other.

You want to end it?

Let's.

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm okay.

Hello?

Are you okay?

Hello?

- WHERE ARE YOU? - ALMOST THERE…

What are you doing?

- We have to report it. - Wait!

There was nothing we could do.

He was texting and not wearing his seat belt.

What does that matter? The accident was our fault.

We didn't hit him! He hit the boulder on his own.

So what?

You and I aren't supposed to be here now.

If you call the cops, we're finished.

Nobody saw it.

- We can just keep driving. - Don't be absurd.

Listen.

Everything you've accomplished…

your family.

Your family!

What about them?

Huh?

Let's go.

- Why won't it start? - Come on!

Please, just…

Hold on.

Wait.

What are you doing?

We're discussing the accident. I'm the driver of that car.

- What? - Just follow my lead.

You…

Oh, my… You must have had an accident.

Yes, an elk jumped out on the road. Our cars skidded.

Anybody hurt?

No, we're fine.

- Sounds like your phone is ringing. - Must be the insurance company.

KWON MIN-JOON

- WHERE ARE YOU? - ALMOST THERE…

SILENT

You sure you're okay?

I'm a bit shaken up, but I'm fine.

Well, then…

Yes, please do that.

As quickly as possible.

All set now.

That's a relief. Drive safely.

Yes, thank you.

You're sure the witness didn't see the body?

I wasn't over there,

so I had to believe Se-hee.

- The license plate of the truck? - I didn't see it.

Is the prosecution's new witness that truck driver?

Right now, it seems likely.

Go, quickly.

And you?

I'll figure something out.

As you said, we didn't even hit him.

- We can still report it. - Get rid of this car, and it's over.

Then, it's over for us.

Just as you wanted.

I've been haunted by regret.

We shouldn't have been here.

If I hadn't turned right, there would've been no accident.

Nothing would've happened.

I thought about what Se-hee said.

"He's already dead.

He has no future, but we do."

Then what?

After I got rid of the car, I met Se-hee again.

What's wrong?

What?

For roadside assistance, you must give us permission to access your location data.

Your call may be recorded...

Excuse me. Are you having trouble?

I slammed on the break to avoid an elk, but now the car won't start.

You're not hurt?

No, I'm fine.

Did you call the insurance?

Not yet. They said it'd take a while.

I can take a look. Can you open the hood?

I run a car repair shop in the city.

- Just a minute. - Okay.

It's my sister's car.

There's a lever down on the left.

Oh, okay.

Just a minute.

I don't really see a problem. The ECU must have reset.

Cars have so much electronics. One error can shut them down.

If you want, would you like to stop by my place?

I'll plug in a scanner and fix the settings.

Or should I call a tow truck?

How long will it take?

- The tow truck? - No, to fix it.

With travel time, an hour should do it.

Then, could you fix it for me?

Here.

SEHYUN AUTO CENTER HAN YOUNG-SEOK

You're not from here, are you? Neither am I.

We moved here when my wife got sick.

She had surgery, chemotherapy and anything else she could,

but the treatments are worse on her than the disease.

She got better after we moved here, though.

She's even started working again.

- That's great. - Yes.

- Producer Lee? - Se-hee, how's the video coming?

I finished editing and uploaded it to the cloud. Please check.

- Then when are you coming? - The thing is…

Something came up. I'll be there as fast as I can. Thank you.

You work in video production?

Yes.

I met my wife at a broadcasting company.

She was a local news reporter and I drove the broadcast van.

Officially, I was the company van driver, but in practice, I was her manager.

I took care of clothes, makeup, even her food and lodging,

so she just said, let's just get married.

She's the type to make up her mind in less than five seconds.

If she hadn't gotten sick, she'd be an evening news anchor by now.

DIAGNOSTICS, REPAIR INFORMATION

COMMUNICATING WITH AUTOMOBILE… SCANNING…

Let's see.

Oh, my. I woke you.

It's all fixed now.

Just a minute.

- How much do I… - No, no, no.

Just consider it a favor.

Sorry, I didn't get you anything. Have some chrysanthemum tea.

No, I'm fine.

It won't take a minute. Take it with you.

My son dried the flowers himself. It's perfect for this weather.

That boy put off college and got a job for himself.

Growing up with a sick mother, I guess he wanted to stay close.

My wife will be home soon. Join us for dinner.

Oh. Just a minute.

Hi, Min-jun.

Sure, how have you been?

NEWS REPORTER OF THE MONTH LEE HEE-JUNG

Are your parents well? Say hi to them for me and tell them to come over.

Sun-jae?

Of course he left. He went out right away.

He hasn't shown up? And he's not answering?

That's strange.

Let me call you back.

Hello?

DAD

DAD

Look, my son forgot to take his phone!

I think I'm going to go.

Wait…

So, what should we do now?

I have an idea.

But I can't do it by myself.

Se-hee told me about her plan.

I couldn't believe she came up with it so quickly.

It's as if she'd planned it her whole life.

The look in her eye scared me.

We promised it'd be the last time we'd see each other, and parted ways.

Lastly, let's watch the video that we prepared.

Thank you for coming to the opening of Ha Seon Art Gallery.

Did you hear it all?

You did great.

Somehow we'd succeeded,

but I was afraid I might ruin it all in an instant.

What's this about? You want to junk the car?

It's at the construction site. Make sure it can't be traced.

Why there?

It was a simple accident. I just don't want trouble.

Anything else? Just the car?

Please do it.

Scrapping it will leave a record. It's better to strip and export it.

If we use a professional,

they won't cause trouble because their work is illegal.

I'm your lawyer. If you need anything, say it.

And just focus on the deal.

I couldn't focus on work, but I also couldn't take days off.

I was preparing to export my security program to China.

The fate of the company depended on it.

Make sure it can't be traced.

Don't worry.

YOU HAVE A VISITOR FROM THE POLICE STATION.

At 5:40 p.m. on that day,

Han Sun-jae drove out to meet a friend, and disappeared.

His car vanished as well.

Soon after, the kid's father stopped on his way home

to tow and fix a car that had broken down.

He said a woman was driving it.

Some parts that were found

where the car broke down matched Han Sun-jae's missing car.

At the very spot where the father towed her car,

there are signs that a car struck a boulder.

But strangely enough, the accident was never reported.

So?

What does an accident in Gangwon have to do with us?

The site of Han's accident...

You said he's missing.

You can't assume it was him.

His presumed accident

matches the location of that woman.

Moreover, the boy's father remembered the car's license plate number.

We ran a search on that license plate and the car belongs to this company.

Mostly driven by you, sir. Isn't that right?

Any employee can drive a company car.

And I told you that car has been stolen.

We reported it the day after, after our CEO returned from Busan.

What were you doing in Busan?

There was a conference.

And about the license plate,

we can't be sure the father remembered correctly, can we?

Can we see the driver log records of the company car?

How about we stop?

Or you can get a warrant.

Don't you want to find your stolen car?

The Transportation Division will find it.

It's not your jurisdiction, so don't involve my client without evidence.

We're busy, so why don't you go?

Let's go.

The car looked fine. Why are you so nervous about a minor accident?

I was only in Busan the first day.

And the second day?

With that woman?

You'll need an alibi, then.

And the missing person? Any connection?

- Find a truck for me. - Know the license number?

I just know the model, color and the driver's face.

That'll take time.

What about the cops? What do you think will happen?

You saw them. They're not even close to being able to involve you.

So he got me an alibi, and there was no more contact from the police.

I thought it was over, then the real nightmare started.

Daddy wants to go on a trip. Where should we go?

I'm glad to go anywhere. You decide.

Where should we go?

The Han Sun-jae missing persons case is now a public investigation.

Gangwon police and local residents are combing the area,

but the mountainous terrain is making the search difficult.

They still haven't found him.

Police say it may not be a simple disappearance…

Guess not.

…but they are waiting for conclusive evidence.

Police are also tracing the whereabouts of one woman.

She was seen by the missing man's father

and was driving a stolen vehicle on that day.

Police are investigating a possible link to the missing persons case.

This is Ma Jeong-pil on the scene for YTN News.

Want more wine?

Yeah, sure.

Are you crazy? Calling this number?

- You saw the news? What's going on? - What?

"Not a simple disappearance"? Why am I a suspect?

What did you tell the police?

Police saw signs of an accident,

but no one reported it, so they're suspicious.

Who decided to report an auto theft?

The car is gone. We had to come up with something.

Then you should've told me!

What's that?

His wallet. I removed it after I put him in the trunk.

- What am I supposed to do with it? - All you need is in there.

His ID, business card, even credit cards.

- You think it's possible? - Make it possible.

It's your specialty.

The accident couldn't be helped.

But this is a crime!

You hid the body.

- Isn't that a crime? - What?

You think you're safe because his father didn't see you,

but I won't go down alone.

Never.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS HAN SUN-JAE

FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF SUSPICIOUS ACCOUNTS

I accessed criminal records for a voice phishing case.

By fabricating transactions,

I made it look like it was linked to the Han Sun-jae case.

That entire plan was formed and laid out by Se-hee?

You don't know her.

She's the type who never gives up.

Han Sun-jae's case is now a criminal investigation.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OPENS

Several days before his disappearance,

a voice phishing organization made suspicious deposits

into the missing man's bank account.

Police are now suspecting that Han staged his own disappearance

and carried out a search at his residence.

When the police began investigating Han, we were no longer under suspicion.

We successfully closed the deal,

and I was named Tech Businessman of the Year.

I was showered with congratulations and interview requests.

But it was all a show.

I felt sick on the inside.

Hello?

- Is Ms. Yang there? - She's with me now.

Did she sign the defense agreement?

No, not yet.

Tell her everything and leave it to her.

She's never lost a trial case.

Whatever it takes, make sure she signs the agreement.

All right.

And I think I found the truck.

Really? And the driver?

The truck was there, but his house was empty.

- The prosecution sure is fast. - What do you mean?

The prosecution's witness may be that truck driver.

Witness?

The evidence they have is a witness?

That's what Ms. Yang heard.

Let me speak to her.

Just a second.

It's Attorney Jang.

- Hello? - Ms. Yang, thanks for your help.

Of course.

What's this about a witness?

I'm trying to find out the details. I'm not sure who…

- Hello? - Hello?

Hello?

We were cut off.

So now, all your cards are on the table.

Two incidents.

Two bodies.

The police only know about Se-hee's murder, so you're the only suspect.

They need to know about Han Sun-jae to see other possibilities.

The third person hidden in that room

is surely connected to Han Sun-jae.

You said you were blackmailed?

Sir.

- This came for you. - Who sent it?

There's nothing about the sender.

The price of my silence is one billion won in cash.

If you bring anyone or tell anyone about this,

I'll reveal your infidelity.

Mr. Yoo. I can't listen anymore.

I understand why you'd want to reveal this blackmail over infidelity.

Because you want to keep the Han Sun-jae incident secret.

Answer one of three questions, and I'll believe it.

First, who called the cops before the attack in the hotel?

This is the police.

Second, why didn't the blackmailer take the money?

Third, how did he leave the locked room?

You can't answer me, can you?

So calling this blackmail over your infidelity won't stick.

It's not just creativity you lack. Your logic is a mess.

Then what's your logic?

You say both of you got the same threat?

Yes, but he only asked me for money.

The way I view this incident…

Something's not right. Let's go.

Wait a minute.

You think the kid's father killed her?

Han Young-seok has the clearest motivation.

What's his motivation?

Revenge.

Look at this.

My son made a call before I met that woman.

She carried the phone to my house.

That's not viable as evidence.

And that woman wasn't alone. She had company.

You only saw her. What's your evidence?

I told you! She adjusted her seat.

She hadn't been driving it.

It's my sister's car.

The car isn't hers.

- It belongs to D&T Security. - Detective.

I'm begging you. Please investigate this, okay?

Han Sun-jae!

Sun-jae!

Hey, move quickly!

- Let's start. - Yes, sir.

We have a warrant to search your home.

Wait...

- Start with his room! - Yes, sir.

Wait, what's going on?

Your son may have been involved in financial crimes.

My son?

Honey!

Sun-jae!

A parent who loses a child is already a monster.

If a son is wrongly accused and the father can't find the body,

there's nothing he won't do.

Han Young-seok abandoned his faith in the police

and he prepared to bring you to justice himself.

The price of my silence is one billion won in cash.

If you bring anyone or tell anyone about this,

I'll reveal your infidelity.

He must've been confident that he'd never be considered a suspect.

Because he knew you'd never talk about his son's case.

That weakness was what he targeted.

And he succeeded.

He made everyone think that you, her illicit lover, killed Se-hee.

During the three days of your questioning,

he kept your lawyer on his watch.

And he checked all the ways you might try to free yourself.

- Mr. Yoo, give us a comment! - Mr. Yoo!

When your arrest warrant was nullified,

he even came to see me.

MISSING PERSON

So you already knew what happened two months ago.

Now that you know, let's not waste time.

But this all comes to naught, if we can't figure out how he got in or out

of that room, right?

Han Young-seok knows all about you, but you know nothing.

That's why you can't see the key to that locked room.

These are the crime photos.

The key is outside the room, not in it.

Do you recognize this person?

- No. - Of course not.

You've never met Han Sun-jae's mother.

She's even started working again.

Your guest has already gone up to the room.

Would you like a second key?

Name: Lee Hee-jung.

She worked at the hotel's front desk.

Now you understand? Why they called you to that hotel?

Han Young-seok knew you'd both recognize the accident scene.

The fact you came to the hotel was half a confession.

The rest went according to plan.

Booking the room next to the storage closet was intentional.

SHE'S GONE UP

Han Young-seok waited for you two in the closet.

Lee Hee-jung called the police.

And Han staged the crime as the police were arriving.

We received a call.

Excuse me.

Is everything okay?

I heard a strange noise inside.

And he escaped the room with his wife's help.

Help!

Hands up!

Don't move!

It wasn't me.

- Don't move! Stay still! - Someone else is here!

Someone else is here!

If you want to prove you didn't kill Se-hee,

you need to implicate Han Young-seok.

So you have to bring up the Han Sun-jae case.

The most incriminating thing is the bank hacking.

It'll be impossible to prove it was me.

Good.

That day, you weren't in the car with Se-hee.

You were in Busan as per your alibi.

Se-hee, who often drove your car,

had the accident and covered it up herself.

Then she stopped calling.

So I become Se-hee's victim…

You hadn't seen her for two months until that day at the hotel,

and you learned about Han Sun-jae for the first time then.

If you had an accident in my car, you should've told me!

Why didn't you say something? What do I do now?

Can we do that?

The dead tell no tales.

We need one more puzzle piece to prove she acted alone.

Where is Han Sun-jae's car?

Still, the truck driver saw me.

Testimony can't compete with evidence. We can refute his credibility.

- The prosecution will prove it in court. - We make sure this doesn't go to court.

How?

We just need direct evidence that Se-hee killed Han Sun-jae.

Then if Se-hee, the only suspect, is dead, the prosecution can't indict anyone.

Then no one can be indicted for the Han Sun-jae case.

They just need to find something of hers, or DNA.

But to plant it, we need the car.

Isn't there another method? To prove Se-hee did it herself.

You come up with one.

This is when I start doubting.

When my client keeps trying to deceive me.

- How am I deceiving you? - Are you not?

No.

You seemed to really like the scenario I created,

but however well you defend a lie, it'll fall apart in court.

- Isn't it the truth? - Only you know that.

What if everything was reversed?

Reversed?

Removing Sun-jae's wallet…

and hacking the bank was all your idea.

And if it was she who wanted to break up?

Sorry.

The person driving…

wasn't Se-hee, it was you.

Shall we go back to the start?

- Hello? - Sorry, what did you say?

When will you leave?

As soon as I finish up here.

- Hurry, I miss you. - Me too.

If you took the lead in all this, wouldn't it make more sense?

- What are you doing? - We have to report it.

Nobody saw it. We can just keep driving.

If you call the cops, we're both finished!

Get a grip!

What if this whole situation was driven by you

and Se-hee was the one who tried to stop it?

MEDICAL REPORT

These are Se-hee's psychiatric records.

After the accident, she suffered from severe anxiety.

She couldn't take it anymore.

POLICE SEARCH FOR MISSING GANGWON MAN… TO NO AVAIL

Police say it may not be a simple disappearance,

but they are waiting for conclusive evidence.

Police are also tracing the whereabouts of one woman.

She was seen by the missing man's father

and was driving a stolen vehicle on that day.

Police are investigating a possible link to the missing persons case.

Let's meet now and talk.

I'll go to you.

Are you crazy? I told you not to call me.

Why am I a suspect?

What did you tell the police?

Hello.

Hello.

This is my son.

Finally, she made up her mind.

If she can't bring back their son, at least she can do the right thing.

Hello?

Se-hee called Han Young-seok.

It was an accident.

Honey.

Promising she would find the location of the son's body,

she begged for forgiveness.

I'll tell you where your son is.

I'm sorry.

Then, why didn't he report it after his call with Se-hee?

Proving a murder without a body is nearly impossible.

Han must have known

that you'd never reveal where the body is,

that you'd always find a way out.

He just hoped Se-hee might figure out the body's location.

But, Ms. Yang,

actually, I wasn't passed out completely.

I saw him for sure from that room.

Why didn't you say so before?

I needed to know if I could leave my fate in the hands of an attorney I'd never met.

I needed to figure you out too.

At least you're consistent.

It's my job to make you innocent, but I can't do it if you lie.

What lie?

This photo proves it.

This woman and her husband plotted to get revenge on me.

What stronger evidence is there?

That woman is not Han Sun-jae's mother.

She's just a hotel employee.

I don't know her either.

There was never a third person in that room.

It was just you and Se-hee.

At one mention of Han Sun-jae's mother,

you lie about seeing the father?

If you knew everything…

why invent such a story?

I need to hear the truth from your mouth.

I told you… not to contact me.

So why would you do this to get me out here?

Otherwise you'd never take my calls.

So what is it? What do you want?

Let's confess.

It's not as if we killed him.

Kim Se-hee…

you've really gone mad.

I called his parents.

I told them everything.

Tell them where the car is and ask for forgiveness.

It wasn't Han Young-seok who killed Se-hee.

I don't care what you do to me.

My mind's made up.

You killed Se-hee,

and trapped yourself in that locked room.

You must've gone over it several times in your mind.

Excuse me, sir. Are you in there?

This is the police. Open the door!

I won't let you.

Mr. Yoo.

There's no salvation without suffering.

And you're not as smart as I am.

Admit it, and tell the truth.

Then everything will be easier.

I will help you.

Did you kill Kim Se-hee?

Yes.

I killed her.

Very well.

We'll take a break, then continue.

It will all be over soon.

We're almost there.

Then what about his real mother?

One thing's for sure.

She must've felt like a dead woman walking.

You're back late.

But I can't reach Sun-jae.

- Really? - Yeah. He forgot his phone at home.

I'm sure he's out having fun.

I'm cold.

We have a warrant to search your home.

What's going on?

Your son may have been involved in financial crimes.

Honey!

I know about your son's disappearance.

It was an accident.

I'll find out where he is.

I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

Breaking news.

The head of an IT corporation has been arrested on charges of murder.

Police have requested an autopsy on the slain woman's body,

while the suspect, Mr. Yoo, vehemently denies the charges.

Who are you?

I'll see you tonight.

Mom!

However hard I try, I can't remember it.

What my son said to me that morning…

That was the last time.

I'd been able to sense my son every day when I woke up.

Whether he was home or out…

Every single day.

But I don't feel anything anymore.

What do you want?

I know that it was an accident.

Whether coincidence or a mistake, I won't demand anything.

But please… find my son.

These people

are not people you can stand up to.

I MUST MEET THE CLIENT RIGHT AWAY GOT NEW EVIDENCE

- Hello? - Are you ready?

Yes, I'll leave right away.

ADD NEW CONTACT MANAGER HAN SEUNG-YOON

I guess Attorney Jang is busy.

He'll be here as soon as he can. This way.

You must be tired from the all-night interrogation.

This is a long way away.

I had to escape the press.

You haven't escaped prosecution, though.

Policemen are stationed five minutes from here.

Coffee okay?

- Did she sign the defense agreement? - No, not yet.

- That's what Ms. Yang heard. - Let me speak to her.

Hello?

What's this about a witness?

I'm not sure who…

Hello?

- Ms. Yang? - Hello?

Hello?

We were cut off.

So where were we?

You said we needed material evidence to prove that Se-hee killed the kid.

Right.

- I have one of Se-hee's bracelets. - Good.

We'll plant the evidence,

then tell the police the location in an anonymous tip.

Tell Attorney Jang to reinforce the Busan alibi.

The fact you concealed the knowledge of the crime

will get you probation at most.

Ms. Yang.

Doesn't probation mean guilty?

I want to be not guilty.

We'll do our best.

But first we need to plant the evidence.

Where… is the car?

Sunk in a lake.

With the body?

Yes.

There are many lakes in that area.

Which one is it?

But what if that truck driver has some kind of evidence?

We'd be revealing the location for nothing.

The prosecution has no witness.

What?

Any witness would've come forward two months ago.

I made it up to get your confession faster.

Then, when you said you rushed over here because of the prosecution…

that was a lie too?

Because of that, we saved time

and discovered a way to prove you innocent.

You agree to defend me, right?

Now that you're officially my lawyer,

you're bound by confidentiality, right?

There's one thing I haven't told you.

I thought he was dead.

Really.

Save me!

What… are you saying?

It was too late to turn back.

When I came to my senses, I couldn't find the wrench.

I searched, but it must have ended up back in the trunk.

Please take care of it.

When you plant the evidence, get rid of the wrench.

You said it was an accident.

By then it was too late anyway.

How could you…

I know it's difficult, but please help me.

You said he was alive?

You could have saved him.

Despite your excuses, you're a murderer.

You said you wanted the truth.

So you can defend me.

You don't deserve one bit of help.

- What? - You killed two people.

- If people find out, you're finished. - Shut up!

Are you not my lawyer now?

Then do your damn job. Got it?

I KNOW WHERE SUN-JAE…

- Ms. Yang? - Yes?

I'm sorry for shouting.

Our contract is still valid, right?

Of course.

I can't break confidentiality, or it'll leave a black mark on my career.

Let me formally request your help.

Which lake is it?

Is that correct?

- Yes. - Very well.

I'll make arrangements to plant the evidence right away.

YANG SHIN-AE, ATTORNEY

YANG SHIN-AE, ATTORNEY

Just a minute.

Sorry, you scared me.

You won't be able to drive like this. I'll look for tire chains.

Come wait inside.

Where did I put them?

- Can I ask you something? - What is it?

How did you get to know the chairman?

Through a lawsuit, of course.

Really?

I heard you were from the same hometown.

That too.

I mean, we first met in court...

Ah, there they are.

Would you bring me that stool?

Thank you.

You lie, too.

The chairman's hometown is in North Korea.

Who are you?

Lee Hee-jung.

The mother of the man you killed.

Well, that makes sense.

That boy did nothing wrong.

You went too far.

So did you.

Your theory about Se-hee shocked me. Almost perfectly accurate.

That's when I decided I could put my fate in your hands.

Then you should've practiced the signature.

So what is it?

What do you want from me?

You want an apology?

No, just let me find my son.

That map?

I almost told you for real, but…

You were acting so strangely.

Right, both of us were unlucky.

It was an accident, as you said.

I won't bother you anymore.

You can't just leave.

- Wait! - Let go of me!

Hello? This is Mount 23.

Help, someone's trying to kill me. Come quickly.

You think you're smarter than I am?

What's really important…

is to survive.

We have a shooting incident. Please send an ambulance.

Hello? This is Mount 23.

Help, someone's trying to kill me. Come quickly.

That's everything.

We got the call, and a nearby police car came.

We arrested Lee Hee-jung with the gun in her hands.

- How is he? - The wound isn't serious.

The roads are bad, so we'll treat him here first, then transport him.

I don't ever want to see those people again.

Don't worry.

Attempted murder is a felony. Even for a first offense, it's serious.

What about the recording from their car?

Whatever you said, illegal wiretapping

can't be used as evidence in court.

On the contrary, that recording shows you're a victim.

The police will visit you in the hospital.

But don't worry. I'll take care of it all.

Just a minute!

Good news!

What is it?

That truck driver passed away a month ago.

Is it crude, calling that good news?

They said the prosecution has no witness.

Really?

How is Attorney Yang?

She's the best.

Couldn't be better.

That's what we want. "Couldn't be better."

Thanks for your help.

The patient's condition seems good.

You've only made things more complicated. Can you handle it?

You came too far. You should've stopped before it was too late.

Yoo Min-ho…

don't defend him.

I say this as my apology to you.

You will absolutely lose.

Stop!

Slowly, slowly!

Come forward! Go ahead.

- Ambulance, stand by. - Roger.

Yoo Min-ho… came here for a reason.

Attorney Yang says she'll go directly to your cabin.

All right.

400 M LEFT, ETA 6:50 P.M.

You must be tired from the all-night interrogation.

- This is a long way away. - I had to escape the press.

He had something to do here.

When I came to my senses, I couldn't find the wrench.

What do you mean?

My son Sun-jae…

I think I know where he is.

A place where no one would stumble upon his body.

A place only he knows.

Sunk in a lake.

This is private property.

It's also a crime scene.

Criminal Code, article 216, clause 1.

A crime scene can be searched without a warrant.

Diving team, access from behind the cabin.

Other search teams, you can enter the property.

Cabin team, go ahead.

Everybody, move!

INDUSTRIAL UNDERWATER SEARCH

YOO MIN-HO

Found it!

You are under immediate arrest for the murder of Han Sun-jae.

Mr. Yoo.

There is no salvation without suffering.

Admit it, and tell the truth.

I will help you.
