(Episode 30)

Prosecutor Do?

Sir, what brings you here?

That's my house. What brings you here?

I had to check something from this house.

By the way, do you know the person who lives in that house?

That's Sergeant Choi Hyun Seok's house.

I see. The detective in the wheelchair?

Yes, that's him. Is there something wrong?

I just need to check a few things about the case, but he's not home.

Did he go out?

Should I give him a call?

I have Detective Choi's son's number at my house.

- I'd appreciate it. - Sure.

Okay. Hurry it up. All right.

I called...

Detective Choi's son, so he should call you soon.

- Thank you. - Have a seat.

- I should bring you something. - Thank you.

(Prosecution Service)

My gosh.

- Prosecutor Eun. - This is taking way too long.

Haven't you seen Prosecutor Do?

He was checking this side, but he's gone.

I haven't seen him. Did you check this line already?

- They ordered the cleaner as well. - Yes, they're all normal.

- Then let's get moving. - Okay.

Keep this. It's way too hot.

Wait.

Why? What is it?

- Goodness. - My gosh.

Watch it!

- My gosh. - My pants are ruined.

This is Detective Choi's wheelchair.

- I got it. Have some. - Oh, thank you.

It must be tough.

I hope you catch him soon.

- Is that your daughter? - Yes.

How old is she?

She's 31 years old.

- Then was she born in 1988? - But...

she passed away...

in a car accident two months ago.

Goodness, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.

So...

I got a message that they have the suspect's address.

I need to get going.

If it's okay, may I come with you?

It's always been a huge regret...

that I couldn't catch the culprit.

Yes, of course. Come with me.

I'll go get my jacket.

I'll wait. Take your time.

The door won't open.

Really?

You're right.

Are you okay?

Don't get near me.

Don't come.

I'm going to kill you all. Don't!

Sir.

- Don't get near me! - Put down your knife.

I'm going to kill myself!

Let's talk this out, okay?

Come on, detective to detective.

Let's have a chat, shall we?

Come on. You weren't like this before.

You!

Let go. Let go of me!

- You jerk! - You're arrested...

for the rape and murder of Seong Hye Bin and Lee Kyung Ja.

You may consult a lawyer, remain silent, decline to bear...

unfavorable testimony,

and ask the competent court to review the legality of your arrest.

Did you think you'll always be free hiding behind the police badge?

How do you call yourself a detective?

- You jerk! - Take him.

- Take him. - Yes, sir.

Let go!

Are you all right?

Yes. Thank you.

I'm just doing my job.

Prosecutor Do!

- Let go, you jerk! - Prosecutor Do.

- Are you okay? - Are you all right?

Are you okay?

- Great timing. - I know.

That was close.

This is Detective Choi's wheelchair.

Find out the name of the resident...

and the actual owner on the registration.

Hey.

Both this house and that one are...

- owned by Detective Oh Jong Cheol. - What?

Darn it.

Oh Jong Cheol is the culprit.

I got a message that they have the suspect's address.

I need to get going.

In 1984, Um Ji Hye, Park Jeong Hye.

In 1985, Yoo Yeon Ja, Chae Han Hee.

In 1986, Jang Soon Ok, Jeong Won Kyung.

In 1987, Han Geum Ji, Han Myung Sook, Mo In Sook.

In 1988, Noh Ja Yeong.

Then in 2018, Seong Hye Bin and Lee Kyung Ja.

Do you admit to raping and murdering all of them?

All of the murders from 30 years ago...

took place...

within 30 minutes of walking distance from your house.

We could have easily found out who the culprit was...

had we only connected the dots.

No one would have thought that the detective...

who dedicated his entire career over the last 13 years...

to arrest the culprit was the murderer himself.

But you made sure you used the situation to your benefit.

No, I'm sure you enjoyed it secretly.

It was fun to see...

how they always went after the wrong guys.

Tell us how that was possible.

That suspect profile you love so much.

I made that.

Did you see the culprit or not?

I really didn't. He had something over his face.

What about his voice?

I just heard him breathe.

If he got you from behind, that means he's tall. No?

He's at least 180cm tall. And he's strong, right?

- Wasn't he young? - He was.

That's good. The culprit is 180cm tall and young.

- Yes. - A strong man in his 20s.

- Right? Isn't that so? - Yes.

When you get attacked,

the attacker seems huge to you.

Making the woman stick to my story was a piece of cake.

Three months after Lee Kyung Ja's incident,

your daughter was born.

- That's unrelated. - No. It is related.

49 days after your daughter's death,

you began to...

kill people again after 30 years.

Why did you do that?

You're a meticulous guy.

I'm sure you didn't kill just anyone.

She looked like her. My mom.

I'll take these.

Sure.

That's why we didn't find any semen.

You killed those women in place of your mother.

It's called a family suicide.

When a parent kills their children as they commit suicide.

I...

almost died with her when my mom killed herself.

I was about 13 years old.

My mom gave me...

a beverage mixed with pesticides.

I almost died from that.

Is that why you only chose women who looked like your mom?

To be honest,

you were just afraid.

- You don't know anything. - You were scared...

after Lee Kyung Ja ran away.

"Someone has seen me." You were scared that you'd get arrested.

- No? - What do you know?

You're just using...

your mom and your daughter as an excuse...

to hide your hideous instinct to kill.

After your daughter died,

you couldn't hold back anymore and killed another person.

Then you hid behind your police badge like a coward.

No! What kind of nonsense is that?

(May 20, 1988, the 11th murder of Wuseong Serial Murder)

Who's there?

It's me.

Detective Oh.

We have another one.

We were told to search the area.

I know that. I was peeing.

I searched this area. Go that way.

- Let's go that way. - Okay.

This time, you drew an even bigger picture, didn't you?

You joined us in the boardroom.

(Wuseong Serial Victims)

The witness. Let's go all the way.

You found out where Lee Kyung Ja was.

Kang Chi Soo.

You wanted to make him the killer but failed.

Then you tried to kill Prosecutor Do in secret...

and frame your colleague for the murders.

Choi Hyun Seok's home is registered under your name.

The rifle bore-cleaner.

You had it delivered to Detective Choi's house on purpose.

To create a way out for yourself in case things went wrong.

You told Det. Choi that it's oil to clean his wheelchair with.

Then you pretended like something happened to his son...

and made a fake call.

We checked everything.

Okay.

Detective Choi, you should go to your son.

To my son's?

Okay. Hurry it up. All right.

Rather than leave it unsolved,

putting someone in for it...

would make things much safer for yourself.

You couldn't suppress your urge to kill...

and became a serial killer by killing 12 innocent women.

You still wanted to get away,

so you went so low as to frame your own colleague.

That's what you truly are.

You managed to stay alive and well.

The rest of your days...

will be spent making up for your crimes.

The statute of limitations lapsed for the 30-year-old murders.

But the charges for killing Seong Hye Bin and Lee Kyung Ja...

can keep you behind bars until you die.

Prosecutor Do.

Your first case was a tough one,

and you did well.

- It was a huge success. - Not at all.

Prosecutor Eun and the NFS did all the work.

I learned a lot.

She joined me to question the suspect,

and she even got me too.

It's your first year.

You'll become a great prosecutor.

Thank you.

I'll get a good case next time and really do you proud.

Okay. I look forward to it.

- Detective Cha. - Yes, sir.

You did very well on the task force team.

Not really. Thanks for letting me join.

Thanks for the meal.

- Well done. - I want to arrest you.

Attention, please.

We should welcome Prosecutor Do.

I'll mix Criminal Division Eight's traditional cocktail.

No thanks.

- Let me. - Okay.

What? Oh, okay.

What?

Here you go.

They came out at once.

He has eggs.

Oh dear.

With some eggshells?

Double-yolk soju. Chicken coop style.

Here.

Chief, with all my respect.

Prosecutor Do, this isn't how you show your respect.

You can show it with a soft glance, can't you?

It's well-stirred, sir.

They're special eggs, very fertile.

- Who'll drink it for me? - No.

- So... - Your shoelaces.

Tie them up tight.

They'll come off.

I'll drink it for you.

What?

- You'll drink that? - It's nothing.

- Don't. - No...

You're so manly. Totally my type.

That must smell.

That's so manly.

I'll tell you my wish later.

That was so cool. Totally unlike someone else.

Do you have a death wish?

- Over there. - The NFS people.

Hello.

You were of great help...

in solving the case as part of the team.

You did all the hard work.

Please forget about the misunderstanding that...

Mr. Kang caused.

It's all water under the bridge.

It seems that you're not yet over...

losing a very talented man.

We had our reasons, you see.

I'm sure you did.

But however skilled one may be,

one can never beat science.

Shouldn't we create a society where justice trumps science?

We all work to uphold justice.

Science before justice.

Justice comes first.

- Chief. - We...

How about Criminal Division Eight's traditional cocktail?

- Yes. - Yes.

- You mix it up. - Sure.

Oh dear.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

An old sock.

- There. - It's done?

Aren't science and justice friends?

What are you doing?

- Prosecutor Eun. - Look at that.

Well done.

Sir, let's show them our traditional cocktail.

Okay. Make sure the ratio's exactly 1 to 2 to 8.

- Casper's Law. - Casper's Law.

- What law? - Seong Joo, mix it up.

Yes, sir.

- Dr. Baek. - What?

I need to be exact.

It's for autopsies.

- Did you wipe it? - With wet wipes.

Okay.

We need a ruler to make our traditional cocktail.

Current time is about 8:05pm.

I shall mix the cocktail.

One.

Two.

Eight.

Okay.

- Gosh. - Who will start?

- Dr. Baek? - I'll pass.

- Then I'll drink. - Pass.

- Why? - You must drive if there's a case.

Then it's yours.

What?

I can't put a kid to sleep drunk.

They all said no.

- I'll drink it. - Wait, Stella.

No, wait.

I'm the chief, so I'll drink it.

[VIU Ver] MBC E30 Partners for Justice "The Case Is Resolved" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Nice.

Perfect.

One last shot. Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you eating?

That pig.

You'll lose her.

I might just...

What are you saying? I won't lose her.

Look at that. He's stealing your woman.

Go to her. Don't end up like me.

I'm drunk.

- Like you? - Look.

Be manly.

You did really well.

Aren't you with them, detective?

I'm not on any side. I'm neutral, okay?

Right, Stella?

Whatever.

- One more shot, please. - Okay.

Fine, Stella, you know...

I can't make cocktails, grill meat or speak English.

I know I'm not good enough in many ways.

But I'm a good judge of character.

I like you, Stella.

- Okay, cool. - What?

I like you too.

Excuse me.

She spoke English and left? I should take English lessons.

Dr. Jang. Dr. Jang.

- What? - Why sit here among...

- all the other seats? - No, I...

- I like this seat. - What...

You... You clueless pig!

What? Clueless about what?

Can't you see that I'm trying to win her over?

- Please help me out here, man. - Same here.

I've been trying for three months.

- I've been trying for 3 years. - 3 years... What?

It's not over until it's over.

It's not over until it's over.

I'm taking English classes in the morning.

What?

English classes...

- One more shot, please. - Sure.

It's my pleasure.

I'm fine...

Wait. Stella.

Hey, take a seat. Sit down.

- This is red. - Why did you dye it red?

- Like pinkish red? - That's the prettiest color.

- My goodness. - Why did you do that for?

- That's not what it is. - Really?

- Then what is it? - What?

- Gosh, it's an accomplishment. - We solved a good one.

- Where did he go? - That was really fun.

Since it's in the morning, I can't sleep.

- That's right. - Prosecutor Oh was really good.

- I used to play soccer too. - Solving the case...

- Solving the case was awesome. - Sure, sure. The striker...

And this case was...

the biggest cold case...

You really are an outcast.

- I didn't know we could do this. - Exactly.

This is Baek Beom speaking.

I'm on my way.

- Let's go. - What? Where?

It's a murder.

I've been drinking.

- What? - Me too.

Me too.

You said you couldn't drink because of your daughter.

It all worked out because of that.

- How will you get there? - I'll take a taxi.

- Gosh. - It's here.

- Drink it. - Hey.

- Drink that. - That's mine.

I got a message. Let me show you.

I think Prosecutor Eun sent me this.

You really are an outcast.

- Prosecutor Eun. - Prosecutor Eun.

I... I'll get going now.

- Hey. - You come back here.

- I'm not an outcast. - No, you're not.

Why would I be an outcast?

- No, no. - You're not an outcast.

- Look at this. - No, you're not.

- Why would I be... - Forget about that.

Everything is over now.

(Oh Pil Joong, Chairman of Sungjin Group, Oh Man Sang's father)

(Oh Man Sang, Director of Sungjin Group, Kwon Hee Kyung's husband)

At the upcoming shareholder meeting,

we plan to introduce the matter of reinstating Director Oh.

So far, about 45 percent of the shareholders are in favor of it.

- If we gather a few more... - Do you know how badly...

our shares took a dive because of the incident with your wife?

It's 8.13 percent.

Comparing the losses to our branches, it's 430 million dollars.

The video in which Oh Man Sang of Sungjin Group...

swore and verbally abused his driver leaked to the public.

And the leaked video has caused a stir.

You piece of trash.

Hey, scumbag. Are you trying to get yourself killed?

You useless jerk.

Hey, hey!

Stop the car.

I told you to stop the car! You moron!

In the leaked video, Oh Man Sang...

verbally abused and caused Jung, the driver, physical harm...

for Jung's inadequate driving ability.

The acts of inhumanity have shocked the public.

The leaked video widely spread as...

That will go away after a few news cycles.

I can just give that jerk some money...

Don't assume money can save your life.

There are people waiting for your life to be ruined.

I told you to stop that jerk.

We were in negotiation.

He kept claiming that he didn't need the money.

Then what does he want?

He wants an apology.

Why...

Why would I apologize to that scum?

What are you doing?

Drink.

What are you doing? Drink up.

Attorney Han.

Okay.

Please excuse me.

What are you doing?

Why don't you sing and dance?

- Let's clink our glasses. - Sure.

Cheers.

wasn't yours.

Did you know that?

Did you?

What...

What on earth happened?

I caused this disaster...

out of greed and ambition for my son.

has been in a vegetative state for over 10 years.

I will carry the burden until I die.

(Prosecutor Kang Hyun)

- I was meaning to... - I called you because...

- I must tell you something. - Okay, what is it about?

10 years ago,

I think there had been something else...

that my brother, Han So Hee, and you didn't know about.

Your father is involved in this.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I thought my involvement would be overstepping my boundary.

What is it?

Han So Hee...

is alive.
