Min-ho...

Min-ho...

Min-ho...

Min-ho...

Yes, he reeked of alcohol.

There were no traces of alcohol found in his blood.

He met with President Cha Sun-ho before.

It's nice to meet you, for the first time.

I'm Cha Sun-ho.

Min-ho...

Min-ho...

What did you say?

Say it again.

Min-ho...

Cha Min-ho has passed away.

September 17 at 1 p.m.

Please wait.

I have to check a few things.

Pardon?

There are procedures.

We should check if it was suicide or not... through an autopsy.

What do you mean it's not a suicide?

There was a suicide note.

Since he's a homicide suspect, we need to do this.

Don't you need consent from the family?

I can't... kill our Min-ho twice.

Detective.

Yes.

Please file for an autopsy request.

Yes.

The chairman has arrived.

Cha Min-ho.

Father...

Please let me live...

Is he really dead?

Yes.

All right then.

Sir?

It's for the best.

For Chamyoung Group and for you...

Just think that he took everything with him.

He may have shared your blood,

but he was not like you.

Just pretend like he never existed.

You should forget everything too.

Yes...

Stay alert and take care of this.

Everyone is watching us.

Yes.

Just pretend like he never existed.

Min-ho.

Why are you so late?

I missed you so much.

You don't look so good, Min-ho.

Madam.

This is your eldest son.

No, it's Min-ho.

Isn't that right, Min-ho?

I'm right.

My Min-ho.

Did you think a mother wouldn't recognize her own son?

Yes, that's right.

Mother.

Why did you come now, Min-ho?

I missed you so much...

Why didn't you visit?

She is getting worse these days...

Please, don't tell her.

She will be in shock.

Madam.

Let's go inside.

Where is Sun-ho?

Why isn't Sun-ho coming?

How long has he been watching?

An arrest warrant will be issued soon.

How far is this punk going to go?

I lost one son.

I can't lose the other one too.

Do you want me to check the cause of death?

External injuries...

Happened when he fell...

Please identify the body first.

Pardon?

Isn't he the one who has been on the news?

There's even a family member here...

Okay, then.

The tips of his fingers have all been compromised.

We can't identify him with his fingerprints.

Let's check with DNA.

Fortunately, we have the deceased's medical records.

No.

Identical twins have the same DNA anyway, right?

Technically, yes. Then how...

Analyze through fingerprints, please.

I just told you all the fingerprints have been compromised.

Then President Cha Sun-ho can provide his fingerprints.

What do you mean...

It's one of the two. If President Cha is identified,

the deceased will be identified as well.

Is that too much to ask,

President Cha Sun-ho?

If the prosecutor wants me to, then sure...

The results will be out by tomorrow.

Let's go.

What are you reporting?

You filed for an arrest warrant and an autopsy on your own.

This is burdensome for both Chamyoung Group and the prosecutor's office.

There is even a suicide note, so why...

You were the one who solved Samanpeung Chairman's forged suicide note case.

That's why I'm living like this now.

Do you want to end up like me?

Yes.

Hey, Jung-woo.

Just what are you thinking?

It's a suicide.

Are you saying someone killed him or something?

When the result comes out tomorrow, you will find out.

And if not?

Please have faith in me, Chief.

Fine, go ahead.

Yes.

Detective.

Please file for an autopsy request.

He isn't the type to commit suicide.

President Cha Sun-ho can do it for us.

The results should come out by tomorrow.

By tomorrow, you are finished.

The fingerprints match Cha Sun-ho by 99.9%.

Then he is Cha Min-ho.

The handwriting analysis showed the suicide letter is his too.

Are you really Cha Min-ho?

The cause of death is multiple fractures and shock due to blood loss.

Especially the fracture to the skull...

I've come to take our Min-ho back.

We're going to have a funeral now.

Your brother died and you're... smiling?

I want to be alone with him.

Yes.

Sun-ho, I'm sorry.

There was no other way.

You understand, right?

Thank you, Sun-ho.

Please sign here.

That's it.

We will transfer the deceased back to the hospital.

Yes.

Did the deceased... wear glasses?

Excuse me?

There were indentations from wearing glasses.

He liked to wear sunglasses.

Yes, well... all right.

Okay then...

Good job everyone.

You should listen to me more.

How long are you going to contine on like this?

Let's have a drink... and finish this case.

You need to write up a report too.

The car stopped for the red light.

What should I do?

Got it.

Good job.

[Press Conference for Chamyoung Group's Public Apology]

We sincerely apologize for troubling all of you.

First, we will donate all of Vice President Cha Min-ho's assets.

Next, we will fully cooperate with the investigation of his previous crimes.

Also, Chamyoung Group will compensate all expenses

to those who were affected.

Let's hold a small, quiet funeral.

Yes.

This is really the end.

Prosecutor Park.

Is your case report ready?

The chief wants it now.

Yes.

Here it is.

Wait.

What is it?

Cha Min-ho has a unique medical condition.

Have you heard of the fear of needles?

He is extremely scared of sharp objects...

Even though they're twins, only Cha Min-ho has it.

I have to give this to someone first.

He was a troublemaker and he died. Why are there so many people here?

Didn't you see the stocks rise?

It's great news for Chamyoung Group now that the troublemaker is gone.

That's cruel.

It's been a while.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You can't hide your instincts, Cha Min-ho.

Isn't it over?

I came to show you something.

It's the closing case report.

Min-ho.

Are you alright?

Blood...

Sun-ho.

Thank you.

Now it's really the end.

Goodbye, Sun-ho.

Are you alright, sir?

Yes.

Park Jung-woo... What do I do about that punk?

[4 months later]

I can't remember.

I can't remember.

What?

What time is it at?

I won't be late, don't worry.

It will be over soon.

This case is already closed. It'll all be over after I get that signature.

[Wol-jung Prison]

Mr. Park Jung-woo.

Have you been well?

Who are you?

What?

Please give us a minute.

Guard.

Guard. Guard.

Mr. Park Jung-woo.

He's gone, please have a seat.

Who are you?

What are you doing? I told you, it's okay when it's just the two of us.

Memory loss won't work these days.

If that worked you'd be in a mental institution, not here.

Isn't that right?

You should know better than me...

Let's finish this quickly. We just need to check a few things.

Come on... You agreed to admit to everything.

Don't you remember murdering your wife and daughter, then hiding their bodies?

What did you say?

What did you say!

Why are you acting like this?

You finished talking with Prosecutor Kang Joon-hyuk yesterday.

This is driving me crazy.

Who?

Kang Joon-hyuk is your assigned prosecutor.

You said you were friends?

Joon-hyuk... Kang Joon-hyuk?

Whatever, it's fine, just... sign here.

Besides me, no one would have defended you!

I'm going crazy...

Kang Joon-hyuk... Joon-hyuk...

Prosecutor Kang Joon-hyuk.

Mr. Park Jung-woo lost his memory again this morning?

Yes.

That's what I was told.

This is the fifth time.

It's the same every time.

He was celebrating his daughter's birthday the night before.

And fell asleep in his house.

He lost his memory while sleeping, like all the other times.

On the fourth day after the incident, he woke up and couldn't remember anything.

Everything that happened in the previous four days.

And then it turned into 1 month, 2 months, 3 months... and now,

his memory of the last 4 months are gone.

As I told you before, his memory loss is different from regular memory loss.

We need to pay attention to the fact that

his memory always returns to 4 months prior.

He claims that he had his daughter's

birthday party the previous day and fell asleep in his house.

That's the moment he wants to return to the most.

He probably considers anything after that day a nightmare.

This isn't the first or the second time.

How is it possible that he keeps losing his memory?

It's not impossible.

It is quite rare though.

After experiencing an unbearably traumatic event,

I think this is a defense mechanism to help him cope.

It was a shock for everyone.

Prosecutor Kang.

What's going on?

Why are they in Jung-woo's office?

Did you hear about the Wolhwa-dong case?

I heard it in the car, on my way here. Did the case already get assigned to us?

Well, they said the suspect is...

Prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

Stop it.

Just stop it.

How could you print it without verifying it?

Wait.

Oh, he's here?

Why did you bring him here without telling me?

My goodness...

Hold on.

Chief, what do you mean it's Jung-woo?

This doesn't make any sense.

Go down there right now. Stop the reporters and bring Jung-woo up here.

He's here.

I'll see you later.

The car is coming.

He's here.

Stop the reporters.

An unbelievable case has occurred. A prosecutor has murdered his entire family.

This morning, Seoul Central District's Homicide Prosecutor Park Jung-woo was

arrested and sent to the prosecutor's office for murdering his wife and daughter.

Everyone now has their eyes on the prosecutors...

What are you going to do, Chief Choi?

I will investigate and make a report.

Will they believe in the Presumption of Innocence?

If we announce an investigation, public opinion will only get worse.

Saying that we are only defending one of our own.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Still, we need to investigate...

Start the briefing now.

Sir.

This has never happened in the history of the prosecutor's office.

Prosecution's fate is at stake here.

You can do it, right?

Excuse me?

You take this case.

Chief.

It's the only way Jung-woo will accept this situation.

Explain the situation.

Okay, let's do this one by one.

Reporter Oh Joon-sup from Korean Daily.

Please explain the motive behind the crime.

Since some questions may overlap,

I will answer after hearing all your questions.

I am a court correspondent.

Is it true that they were having family issues?

News Media reporter Lee Su-yoon. Is there an accomplice?

Joon-hyuk.

Joon-hyuk.

What did you do?

I have to find Ha-yun.

Jung-woo.

I have to find Ha-yun!

Then where is she?

I have to find Ha-yun...

I have to find Ha-yun...

Ha-yun... Ha-yun...

It's human instinct to deny and escape the reality, than to accept it.

Then why is he repeating his behavior?

He tried to endure the unbelievable reality and couldn't handle it anymore.

So he is running away to protect himself,

by erasing his memory.

But he's the one who committed the crime.

That's why he wants to forget it even more.

There is one thing that worries me.

What is it?

Constantly losing his memories may be

putting Mr. Park Jung-woo in a more serious situation.

Think about it.

You open your eyes and you've become a murderer who's killed your own family.

Now it's been months since you've been on death row... Can you imagine how he feels?

The second trial is coming up soon.

Is there a chance that he will get better?

If he accepts what he's done,

there may be a chance that his memories will return.

If there is something that will make him realize that this is his reality...

That would help him.

The prison is a completely unfamiliar place to him.

Yes, I understand.

You did a good job.

You may return to your seat.

Your Honor.

I would like to call the next witness.

Counselor.

Please come up to the bench.

When will you be finished?

You Honor, I still have witnesses to question.

Let's wrap this up.

Excuse me?

What do you mean wrap this up?

You've done enough.

What do you mean I've done enough?

Aren't they all witnesses?

You've been questioning witnesses for three to four hours now.

What about it?

Is there a problem?

Do you have somewhere to be...

You brought 16 witnesses for a simple theft case.

During my years as a judge,

I have never seen this many witnesses and this long of a witness questioning.

Let's wrap it up.

We need to do this properly whether it's simple or complicated.

I can't just wrap it up.

I said we are going to wrap this up.

This is an order at the judge's discretion.

How can you do this?

The defendant's life depends on this.

Do you do all your trials this way?

I'm trying my best to defend my client. Why are you stopping me?

There should be a limit though.

Look at the prosecutor.

The prosecutor kept it short and clean with two witnesses.

Why are you bringing up the prosecutor?

I wasn't going to bring this up but...

Aren't you two alumni?

What did you just say?

If that's not the case, then why are you siding with the prosecutor?

That's not...

This trial would've been finished in an hour. You're the one who

dragged it on for 5 hours.

The fact that it usually takes less than an hour is the problem.

If every lawyer was like you, how could I finish all these trials by today?

Even if I stayed all night, I wouldn't be able to.

So you're going to take away the

defendant's right to be defended properly?

That's not what I'm saying.

That is what you said.

Your Honor.

Are you finished evaluating the public defenders?

Yes.

Here you go.

Yes.

Wait.

There is one public defender who I need to re-evaluate.

I will re-evaluate this one...

Your Honor.

Your Honor.

How could you?

Isn't it the public defender's duty, to do their utmost best, to defend the

accusers exposed to the blind spots of the law?

What do you mean I can't request for a retrial for doing my best...

The judge is in the wrong here.

It's not only Judge Kim, other judges have the same opinion.

They said you're disrupting the trial, not defending.

You shouldn't have gone overboard.

What do you mean gone overboard?

What am I going overboard about?

You guys are just too much. Just because it's not your life.

That nutjob!

I can't do this anymore.

The second trial is coming up.

How can you turn in the Attorney Resignation form now?

Just hold on a bit longer.

What do you mean hold on?

How can I endure this?

Look, just look at this.

I would press charges myself. But I don't think an assault charge

will make a difference with what he's facing. Just look for someone else.

I'm done here, got it?

What are you looking at?

Darn it, what do I do about this...

How many public defenders are left?

None, everyone went through him at least once.

Attorney Resignation letter...

He is not ready to serve as a public defender.

I will take this case.

Excuse me?

You said there's no one else.

If I do this, I can be assigned for reappointment, right?

We have to receive a form of appointment from the defendant.

Will you be able to get that?

That's easy, it's my specialty.

Take care.

What case is it?

[Prosecutor murders his wife and daughter and hides their bodies]

Why did it have to be Prosecutor Park Jung-woo...

Objection.

The defendant was hospitalized for 2 months, not 2 weeks.

The defendant has suffered for years from her husband's domestic abuse.

Even on the evening of the incident, she was shaking in fear as she was

beaten by her drunk husband. Which left her hospitalized for 2 months.

She felt as if her life was at stake.

To save her own life, she stabbed her husband.

Prosecutor, if this isn't self-defense, then what is?

It is... self-defense.

If everything you say is true.

Then are you saying that I am lying?

A beating left her hospitalized for 2 months. That incident left the

defendant fearing for her life, so she stabbed her husband as an instinct...

Therefore, it was self-defense...

Is this your argument?

That's right.

What if these two incidents were further apart?

Would you still say that it was self-defense?

I submit into evidence that the beating occurred in the morning

and the stabbing of her drunk husband occurred in the evening.

Therefore, in accordance with Article 200 of Criminal Law on the charges of

murdering her husband, I ask for a sentence of 5 years in prison.

Prosecutor Park.

Prosecutor Park.

Prosecutor.

Prosecutor Park.

I know you heard me.

How could you just keep going?

You are so disrespectful.

Do you have something left to say?

Lawyer Seo Eun-hye?

You could have shown mercy.

Mercy?

I did show mercy.

What do you mean?

A prosecutor showing mercy is giving her a proper sentence, in accordance with the law.

She was barely just holding on for the sake of her children.

Taking her away from her children and sending her to prison for 5 years

is in accordance with the law? Is that what you're saying?

Lawyer Seo.

What?

If you wanted to win that badly, you shouldn't have trusted the client.

Do you know why you lose every time?

Because you only take cases that will lose.

Hey!

I will win the next trial.

You just see.

Would he let me take it?

[Former Prosecutor Park Jung-woo sentenced to death in his first trial]

Eun-hye, let's eat.

Yes, Auntie.

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I'll be right out.

Come on out.

Okay.

Eun-hye.

Daddy.

I didn't do it.

I'll be out soon.

You trust daddy, right?

Daddy, it wasn't you.

I know that.

I will save you, just wait.

You will let me take your case, Mr. Park.

Joon-hyuk.

Jung-woo.

I have to get out of here.

Ha-yun and Ji-soo will be waiting for me.

I have so many things to take care of.

Let's go.

You brought your car, right?

I said let's go.

Jung-woo.

What are you doing?

This is all a joke.

What are you doing?

Let's just go.

Jung-woo.

Joon-hyuk.

Tell me this isn't real!

Tell me this isn't real!

Please tell me this isn't real!

Joon-hyuk. Please tell me this isn't real...

Tell me this isn't real...

Tell me this isn't real...

It was really me?

For now.

For now...

You're not one to make mistakes, so...

I doubted that Ji-soo was having an affair...

Everything else burned, except for this.

Ji-soo having an affair doesn't make any sense, Joon-hyuk.

You really don't remember?

I don't remember anything.

I can't remember.

It was Ha-yun's birthday.

According to the doctor, there's a chance that last day's memory

could have been distorted.

Distorted?

My memory could be distorted?

But, Joon-hyuk.

Why am I still alive then?

If I did that to Ha-yun and Ji-soo, why would I be still alive?

Jung-woo.

Tell me! Why am I still alive?

I can't remember anything.

Nothing.

I am still alive like this, but I can't remember.

What happened to my Ha-yun?

You still haven't...

remembered the exact location.

Ha-yun...

I will...

I will find you.

This is the case record you saw earlier.

It will help you remember.

Jung-woo.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you.

No problem.

If he doesn't cause trouble, there's no need to send him to solitary confinement.

I heard he was a former prosecutor?

Please take good care of him.

No problem. We should help each other out.

What are you doing? Go inside.

Jung-woo.

Are you okay?

It must've been hard in there, right?

First take off your shoes and put them in there.

The second to the last one is your spot.

Everyone left to go to work.

I'm also still on trial, so...

Oh, right... Were you shocked yesterday?

Because of that?

They played a little joke on you.

Change into this.

I'll leave this here, so make sure you change into it later.

According to the doctor, there's a chance that last day's memory

could have been distorted.

[Park Jung-woo]

[Prosecutor in office]

Did everything go alright?

Yes, sir.

Roll call.

One, two, three, four...

Five.

Six, roll call done.

Sung-kyu.

Are you going out today to be questioned?

No, they told me to come tomorrow.

Must be nice being able to go outside.

What good will come from seeing a prosecutor?

Go ask for forgiveness.

Yes.

Why did they put the prisoners on trial and convicts in the same room?

They are short on rooms these days.

Still, this room is like mixed noodles.

This country is in shambles. What does it matter if we're mixed in together?

I guess... This country is a mess.

Elder, what's wrong?

What's a mixed noodle?

Our elder doesn't even know what a mixed noodle is.

Come find me later, I will buy you all the mixed noodles you could want.

I want fried pork.

Of course.

I want Nagasaki noodles.

Hai.

Get out, you punk.

Oishi.

Jung-woo.

Eat this.

Oddly, you seemed to like this.

Sung-kyu takes good care of you.

You should eat.

Eat this and let's go out for some exercise.

Eat up.

Jung-woo. How is it?

Isn't it nice outside?

Do you recognize all the people you put in here?

Even though they said they'd kill you,

do you know why they don't come near you?

They don't want to worry about what

will happen if you get acquitted and leave here.

Acquitted?

Good job.

The weather is so nice.

Jung-woo.

Let's take a walk.

We should walk for at least 10 minutes. Since we're locked up the whole day.

Come on. Come on.

10 minutes.

You can't even catch that.

Don't worry.

There shouldn't be any problems with the second trial either.

Yes, I understand.

Daddy.

My Eun-soo.

Is that the new toy you got?

Yes. Mommy bought it for me.

Must be so nice to be Eun-soo.

Shall we go see grandfather?

Okay. Sounds good.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Daddy.

Look at this.

Do you like it?

Yes. I like it more because mommy got it for me.

Really?

Like this?

1358 Kang Chul-soo. Assault.

1204 Hong Min-hwa. Attempted rape.

6514 Shin Chul-shik. Murder by proxy.

It wasn't me.

Prosecutor Park Jung-woo is here?

Come on, move it.

Left, forward.

Here you go.

Yes.

Why did you want the first trial records?

I wanted to check again, in case I missed something.

The suitcase was the only thing we couldn't find. It was an obvious case.

Just in case.

Yes.

Where could it be?

Was it really me?

Why did you do it?

Jung-woo.
