(Episode 6)

All attention will be on you, Mr. Oh.

You need to prepare for that.

Yes, I expected this but...

I'm not sure how to prepare--

Just hold out.

It will be over soon.

I won't ever have to stand in court, right?

I'll make sure you don't.

I'm depending on you two.

Let's not go.

Why not?

I think he's on to us.

Call the rest of the team and tell them not to go home and come to the office instead.

I'll be there around 11.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I heard her dad is a death row inmate who killed two people.

And what? She's not the one who killed people.

But it's still makes me uncomfortable.

How could she have been raised right by a father like that?

I don't like the way she looks at me.

You just have a prejudice against her. It's because she had a hard life.

Did you...

do her wrong?

Do her wrong?

Why would I do that?

Then why are you doing something you've never done before?

It's because I lack male hormones.

I'm losing all my hair and male hormones because you stress me out.

And I cry all the time all because of you, you wench.

Damn it!

What's with him?

Yes?

Do you like the room?

Here.

Fruits...

The bed is a little old...

but it should be better than the hospital bed.

The mattress is still holding up.

You can save my dad, right?

He didn't kill anyone.

You know that too.

I'll do all I can.

If...

my dad gets executed,

who am I supposed to blame for that?

My dad told me to think of him as someone who never existed.

How can I do that?

He's the one who raised me.

He's my dad...

Your dad is still alive.

I'm the one who put the handcuffs on your dad.

And the one who can take those cuffs off...

is also me.

You said you had something to tell me about Lee Dae-chul's case?

Lee Dae-chul was sentenced to death for killing a college student and a detective.

The college student's name was Yoon Ji-sun.

She was an art student.

It was revealed that she painted a portrait for someone around the time of her murder.

And circumstances show that the person in the painting may be the one who killed her.

Who is it?

Oh Jong-tae, the CEO of Incheon Real Estate Trust.

You have proof?

The alibi that Oh Jong-tae gave to the police was fabricated.

And?

We have evidence that Lee Dae-chul was somewhere else at the time of the murder.

Both are circumstantial evidence. They can't directly prove it.

The investigation and trials were processed with wrong evidence.

I think this is enough to request for a retrial.

A retrial...

Do you think it will be easy?

It's going to be hard...

And even more so if Oh Jong-tae is the real killer.

He's one of the wealthiest men in Incheon.

He'll use his power in politics, legal system,

and the police to stop it from happening.

And...

even in the press.

Someone told me this.

The most effective way to bury the truth is having the victim disappear forever.

There was an attempt to kill Lee Dae-chul in prison.

And it failed.

Soon after, there is suddenly an order for executions,

which we haven't seen in the last 20 years.

If the goal of the execution was to get rid of Lee Dae-chul,

and if the real killer is behind all of it...

It would've been impossible for an average person to pull off.

But it would be possible for Oh Jong-tae.

I know Oh Jong-tae.

He has power.

And he helped my brother during the election.

But he's still just a man with power in the province.

An execution order is a national matter that needs the president's approval.

Do you think he has enough power to move the president?

If your reasoning is correct,

then the real killer isn't Oh Jong-tae.

It should be someone with more power than him.

Yes, Detective Oh?

Right now?

Okay...

That's Yoo Jung-suk, the editor of Junghan Daily.

And his brother is...

Congressman Yoo Jung-ryul.

He's also being considered as the next Attorney General.

I won't ever have to stand in court, right?

I'm depending on you two.

He has the editor of Junghan Daily and the next Attorney General on his side?

This is making my head cramp up.

Jong-tae showed us this on purpose.

He was showing off his power with the people that he's meeting.

Hey.

What are you doing instead of letting the guys go home?

Bro, I don't think this is right.

To be honest, isn't this a personal case for you?

Right?

What?

- What's wrong with you? - Let go.

I'm right.

Bro.

Let's just go catch Joo Dong-pal.

That's our job.

Why are you taking these innocent guys and working them into the ground?

Bro.

We're doing this because we want to.

Yeah right.

You guys need to wake up!

Things won't go well for you even if you solve the case!

Look at me.

I'm begging you.

If you have even an ounce of conscience left...

just let the guys go.

Don't ruin it for these guys too!

Bro, what's wrong with you?

The representatives of police?

Just be honest and say you're picking the suicide squad instead.

Jae-Hong isn't wrong.

You can decide for yourselves.

- Oh Ji-hyuk. - Yes?

Can you show me the proof of the CCTV footage being fabricated again?

Sure.

The rest of you can go home.

Thanks for your work.

Why are things so complicated?

It's simple.

We'll get fired if we help Do-Chang.

Fire us on what basis?

We're national public service personnel.

Even if they can't fire us, they'll send us to the outskirts.

But we'll still get paid.

But you won't get to advance in your career!

I wouldn't have joined violent crimes if I was thinking about advancing my career.

You're right.

- Isn't that Jae-Hong over there? - Where?

Is that bastard trying to drive after drinking?

I've told you multiple times!

Kang Do-Chang is chasing Joo Dong-pal right now!

Think about it.

What good will it do for him if he touches Lee Dae-chul's case?

Hey!

I'm not your slave!

Do whatever you want!

This is humiliating.

How the hell did my life turn out like this?

Damn it, I'm not done paying this off.

You're getting a call from Yoon Sang-mi.

Yoon Sang-mi from auditing.

I can't believe this...

Let's request a retrial.

Before it's too late.

Yeah we need to, considering the situation.

But we don't have enough time.

Even if you prepare for years, the chances of winning at a retrial is slim.

But we have to do everything we can. We have no other choice.

Detective Kwon said earlier that things won't go well even if we solve the case.

He's giving us the facts.

You two are going to be okay with that?

The worst that can happen to me is getting fired.

But the worst that can happen to Lee Dae-chul is dying.

Which one do you think I should choose?

Be honest.

Yoon Sang-mi has something on you, huh?

Bro, did you...

What?

What are you asking him?

Shim Dong-wook.

What are you thinking?

We heard him on the phone earlier.

Why do you think he would talk about Do-Chang?

It's because Yoon Sang-mi told him to report--

Hey!

You don't even know Jae-Hong!

Do you know how much he respects Do-Chang?

What are you going to do if Dong-wook is right?

- What are you going to do if he's right? - What is up with you?

What are you talking about?

Think about it...

Who do you think will remain in this team longer between me and Do-Chang?

Thanks.

Did you tell your superiors about it?

About our work?

Yeah, I did.

Even the editor who was meeting with Oh Jong-tae?

Of course.

He's my immediate supervisor.

They looked close.

He wouldn't like it if we went after Oh Jong-tae.

It won't be good for you to be on his bad side.

Yeah.

You're right.

I just got a position at the headquarter and now I'm going against the editor?

And this case will bother the prosecutors, police, and the judicial branch.

If I get on their bad side, they won't give me a

story to write about for the rest of my life.

It will end my career.

Why am I risking my whole career just for one story?

Aren't I such an idiot?

This is crazy.

Can you find out if Jo Sung-dae is really working for Kim Gi-tae and

if Kim Gi-tae knew about Oh Jong-tae?

I can't believe you.

I just told you that I'm doing a stupid thing!

Find it out for us.

Detective Oh!

As you said, I think Lee Dae-chul is innocent.

But we don't have clear evidence because it's such an old case.

Things will be so easy if just one person chooses to speak.

Can you help me?

Help with that?

Jo Sung-dae.

You two are close.

Didn't he tell you?

I guess he didn't tell you about killing Park Gun-ho and his attempt to kill me.

The police are looking for who he's working under.

But I first met Jo Sung-dae because of you.

- Jo Sung-dae? - Yes, Jo Sung-dae.

- I don't know who you're talking about. - You sent him to me.

Oh, it's when I asked my nephew to bring you here.

I guess he sent him instead because he was busy.

I'll ask my nephew later about who Jo Sung-dae is.

Sir.

I told you about Lee Dae-chul's innocence with pure intentions.

Well, I can't say it was all pure.

You will stand on the witness stand when my trial starts.

And I wanted the witness to have a good image of me.

That's all.

Shouldn't you have told me first if you had found out who the real killer was?

We need further investigation.

So who is it that you're investigating?

It's not the man that you told me about.

Wasn't he your final goal?

If you'd like, I can stop things here.

Detective Kang, I've never handled a retrial.

And I'm not confident I can win.

And the execution is right around the corner.

You think they'll accept a retrial during such a sensitive time?

And I'm not brave enough to handle such a big case.

Mr. So.

I'm the one who locked up Lee Dae-chul.

A detective who arrested the suspect is requesting

a retrial to prove the suspect's innocence.

I'm shooting myself in the foot right now.

He's crazy.

So why?

Everything will be fine if I just keep my mouth shut. I know that.

But if I keep silent too,

no one can speak for him.

A painting is very different from a photo.

A painting holds emotion.

Because a person is looking at another person while they paint.

What about me?

Anger...

It seems like you're very angry at something.

And you look sad.

I'll hand the phone to the lawyer. You can talk to him yourself.

Hold on.

- It's Go Joon-sup. - Okay.

Hello?

Hi, this is Mr. So.

Yoon Ji-sun's friend is the one who told us.

How many witnesses do we have right now?

Go Joon-sup...

Yoon Ji-sun's friend...

(Lee Dae-chul's Retrial Files)

No matter how I work around it, the conclusion doesn't change.

There's no proof that Oh Jong-tae is the killer.

And there's no proof that Lee Dae-chul isn't the killer.

A retrial requires a lot more particular conditions than a regular trial.

This is going to be hard to win.

- But we have a witness. - Go Joon-sup?

But it's not like he witnessed the actual murder.

- A police officer. - A police officer?

The witness that judges think is most credible

is the detective who was in charge of the case.

What if that detective testifies?

You're telling me to walk into fire with a gas tank in my hand.

Sure, why not.

Kang Do-Chang is busy chasing after Joo Dong-pal right now.

It's a stunt.

From what I know, he's reinvestigating Lee Dae-chul's case.

Why?

You know this from working with him.

Once he thinks he's right about something, he just goes for it.

He's changed a lot. He's not like what he used to be.

You know that I'm auditing Detective Kang, right?

He came to see me recently.

I wonder why that happened to that person back then.

How come something that looked like a coincidence

now looks like it had a hidden motive?

I'll probably have to just do my job against a close colleague of mine soon.

What he was referring to was...

He's talking about when I lost the murder weapon and you found it.

When he said he's going to do his job,

he meant that he will have to reveal what happened

between us if he reinvestigates the case.

If what I did comes to light,

my career will take a huge hit.

And won't you get some backlash for finding the murder weapon?

Where do police officers go if they retire early?

Private investigator?

That's a little dirty.

Private bodyguard?

That's hard labor too.

Your age won't make the cut.

The age won't be an issue.

I can get a young guy to do the work for me.

- Who? - I have someone.

He forced me to walk into fire.

I'm going to drag him with me all the way to hell.

Why would Yoon Sang-mi be here at this hour?

She came by herself to do what and see who?

Don't answer it. Just hold on to it.

Give me that.

I'm chasing after the suspect right now.

Why are you calling...

Hey!

Stop right there!

Let's go get Joo Dong-pal. It's about time we get him.

Let's go.

Who is it?

Eun-ha, it's me.

What?

You don't have anywhere else to sleep again?

You need to pay me.

You're crazy.

You told the cops about me, huh?

Hey!

What?

Hong-do is going to kill me.

Why?

I got won over by that cop and handed him Hong-do's number.

Eun-hye, please help me!

Where are you?

You know this place...

The empty house where we had my birthday party.

Hong-do is going to find me soon.

Can you stay with me and try to talk to him when he gets here?

He's going to beat me to death if I'm by myself!

This is all because I was trying to help you.

Please Eun-hye!

Okay, I'll be right there.

Where are you going?

Detective Kang told me not to let you out at night. Don't go.

It's not like I'm locked up in prison.

You don't want to come back, huh?

Let's say that you ran away without me knowing.

Won't that work better for both of us?

- You guys ate, right? - Yes.

Let's do this.

Where is Joo Dong-pal?

He'll be here soon.

He can't live without his women.

He'll head to his girl's house after having some drinks.

Why call us here if it's that easy?

I don't want to do all the hard work. I want to see you guys suffer.

He's here.

Let's go.

Who are those bastards?

Aren't they from Gwangju?

Damn it.

Joo Dong-pal!

Run!

Stop right there!

Where do you think you're going?

Hey! Jae-Hong!

Get him!

Little faster!

Move!

Where is it?

Hold on.

Here!

Go back home.

You guys came such a long way,

Anyway, thanks for helping us out.

You should go eat.

What are you doing here?

Did you call her here?

She hangs out with cops. She's bad luck.

What were you two planing?

- Answer me. - Stop it.

Hey, just looking at your face pisses me off.

Get lost.

I asked her to do it. You can hit me instead.

What a good friend you have.

Look at that loyalty.

You two take her and take care of her.

She made my nose bleed.

- Make sure she's almost dead. - Okay.

Eun-hye!

Stop it!

Get rid of her.

I said stop!

Get her out of here!

This is all your fault!

I said stop!

Get her out of here!

This is all your fault!

Let her go.

I said let her go.

Let's just take four of your gang with us.

You'll be lonely if you go in by yourself.

Just give us four people that you're not close with.

Attention Division 1 and 2!

Good work!

Who cuffed him?

Kwon Jae-Hong.

I had no idea Jae-Hong was that fast. He was quick like lightening!

You should've seen him!

He usually moves slow, but when he sees a suspect,

he turns into Usain Bolt.

He was born to be a detective.

What is up with you guys?

Hey, no need to be modest.

You know my principles.

I will get those who blame others for their mistakes.

And I will reward those for doing something great.

I didn't do it alone.

You're right.

You don't catch a suspect alone.

You guys finally did something great.

Your team is the best.

What if she dies?

Don't worry. She'll wake up.

Hong-do, what are you going to do about me?

- You're a good actress. - I know, right?

This makes up for everything, right?

Don't put on an act in front of me. I'll kill you.

Of course! What do you take me for?

Let's just say that you ran away without me knowing.

Won't that work better for both of us?

- Are you done writing up the report? - Yes.

Good work. Let's go inside.

Hey...

Here.

Thank you.

Come on, let's go inside.

The man of the hour is here!

Welcome.

- Incheon's west division! - The fastest runner!

Kwon Jae-Hong!

My precious baby!

He'll now take a shot!

Chase it with that.

Jae-Hong, sit in the center.

He doesn't like that.

I didn't request for a retrial. Who did it?

Detective Kang from Incheon's west division came to me.

Why would he do that?

I believe Detective Kang is acknowledging that the investigation didn't go right.

Really?

Yes.

Would you like to go for it?

Do you think a retrial is possible?

Do you think the judge will accept it?

Please be honest.

I've seen many inmates prepare for a retrial.

But I've never seen them get accepted.

It's not totally impossible.

The detective who arrested you is admitting that he made a mistake.

Now he is?

He didn't believe a word I said back then when I told him it wasn't me.

And he's admitting it with the execution is right around the corner?

He's trying to save me now?

It's bull shit.

If I die, he'll tell himself that there's no need

to feel guilty because he did all that he could.

He's just doing this to make himself feel better.

I won't ever forgive him.

Never.

- Please sign the form. - No.

You need to have your revenge.

If the retrial is accepted, Detective Kang won't be able to work anymore.

You think the police and prosecutors will leave

him alone after he revealed their mistake?

He knows that too.

But the fact that he's still doing it

must be because he wants to feel more at ease like what you said.

Or else, it doesn't make sense.

So you should sign it.

And tell the whole world what he did to you when you stand in court.

I'm a lawyer, but I don't fully trust the laws.

I think my distrust will only grow more if you get executed.

Eun-hye has nowhere to go and has no money!

She's sick too!

And you kicked her out!

I didn't kick her out! She walked out of here on her own!

She left because you made her feel uncomfortable!

What do you want me to do?

Was I supposed to beg her to stay?

She's just a kid!

Don't you get worried as a mother with a son if a kid doesn't come home?

My heart is rotting after I got my son taken away. Who am I supposed to worry about?

Then you should've at least called me!

She's the one who said that she's not locked up in prison.

You think you can take care of her?

She's probably reminded of her dad in prison every time she looks at you.

You may be a hero to the victims' families,

but you're a villain to the suspects' families.

She's not answering my calls.

Can you try calling Eun-hye?

I'll give her a call later.

Why did you take her to your house?

Well, I had a lot of rooms at my house...

What are you going to do if Lee Dae-chul ends up getting executed?

You're going to just live with her?

I haven't thought about that yet.

You'll have nightmares every night as you look at Eun-hye.

Hell doesn't exist.

People just create hell for themselves.

Hey! Why do you always try to teach me a lesson or something?

Don't worry about me. Worry about yourself--

Got it.

I think he's talking to the judge.

Yes, I'll look into it and send the supplementary files.

Bye.

Mr. So, what did the judge say?

He's asking why I'm doing this with the execution right around the corner.

He's asking if we have an ulterior motive.

What ulterior motive?

We're just asking for a retrial because Lee Dae-chul isn't the real killer.

I think he just called as a formality.

It's such a sensitive issue,

so he's protecting himself in case he dismisses it.

So he's expressing that he's going to dismiss it.

We can't have a retrial if the judge doesn't accept it.

Damn it.

I told him I'll send more files for the retrial, so let's do all that we can.

But is there anything else that can work as grounds for having a retrial?

This is really embarrassing...

This is humiliating for the police to admit...

But we lost the murder weapon for Lee Dae-chul's case.

We found it again, but the murder weapon was missing for about an hour.

Was the murder weapon chosen as evidence during the trial?

The evidence could have been tampered with.

What happened?

At the time, I was so sure that Lee Dae-chul was the killer.

We're at a big disadvantage...

We don't have time at all.

It's the same for the other side too.

If the news about Lee Dae-chul's retrial becomes public,

the ones who decided on the execution will try to

take care of it before the day of the execution.

Then we'll still have a chance at having a retrial.

Right.

The president makes the final decision, so we can

just have a meal with him and talk about it.

You're not making any sense.

Hey.

Already?

The chief leaked it, huh?

He loves the press.

Okay.

Organize the evidence first.

Make sure you get the chief's word on it,

or he'll try to go back on what he said.

(So Jae-sub)

You don't have to worry about the fee.

I know you're not in a position to pay anyway.

I can just take my fees from the compensation after we win the case.

There may be someone who tries to contact you.

If they say that they'll pay you, tell me how much they offered.

I'll give you double.

Sure.

A lawyer sometimes finds out that their client is guilty.

But we just do our work since it brings money.

But sometimes...

It has nothing to do with money.

There are cases that we want to hang on to even if it won't bring any money.

For self satisfaction.

I guess it's to comfort ourselves.

Good luck.

(Evidence 1)

(Evidence 5)

(Yeonan Gang's Organization)

Attention.

At ease.

- Captain Woo. - Yes, sir.

They didn't commit some financial crime.

They're the biggest gang of Incheon.

Don't the visuals look a little weak?

Why did you get into a violent fight in broad daylight?

Was it to avenge Gwangju's gang?

No, it wasn't for revenge.

I'm sorry.

Do you know that the civilians were shaking in fear?

I'm really sorry.

I sincerely apologize.

Did your team catch them?

Yeah.

When did you have the time to do this?

This is a secret,

but I have two bodies.

I have a twin.

My twin is working on another case right now.

Ms. Jin.

Okay.

Were you trying to flee abroad?

Good work.

You did a great job, but you should do something about Yoon Sang-mi.

She's not at a place where we can control her now.

Yes, sir.

I have nothing else to say.

Just say something!

Did you meet with Kim Gi-tae?

He's sly.

I don't think we should expect to get anything from him.

What about the retrial?

The lawyer submitted a request but...

The judge isn't responding well.

I bet.

A sane judge won't want to do it.

Then can you go persuade the judge?

Good work.

Mr. Jung!

Hello.

Are you going to report today's case as the main story?

I'm not sure.

It seems like the police tried to present it nicely,

but it's not big enough to make the main story.

There is another case...

Its definitely big enough to make the main story.

Do you want the story?

Do-Chang is reinvestigating Lee Dae-chul's case.

He pretended to be after Joo Dong-pal to get the chief off his back.

What he's really working on is Lee Dae-chul's case.

How far has he gotten with the investigation?

Did he find new evidence?

I'm not sure.

You can ask him yourself.

Your teamwork is just amazing.

You can go.

Okay.

I'm going to be his friend for the rest of my life. Sorry about that.

I requested a retrial for Lee Dae-chul's case.

Who is this for?

I'm going to testify in court if they hold a retrial.

And of course I'll mention about the murder weapon going missing.

There's nothing I can do.

How can I win when you're trying to drag me down with you?

I'm going to say that I'm the one who lost the weapon.

All you have to do is keep your mouth shut, like you've been doing all along.

How touching.

The team put our money together to pay back the people

who gave Jae-Hong the gift certificates yesterday.

So I just have to keep my mouth shut, right?

Got it.

I'll tell you once I pick the location.

Yes, bring the camera crew with you.

Bye.

The camera crew?

Yes.

You're going to be on TV.

A death row inmate is gaining attention for requesting a retrial.

Let's hear the details from our reporter.

A death row inmate requested a retrial with the impending

execution happening for the first time in 20 years.

Who is it?

It's Lee Dae-chul who was sentenced to death five years ago

for killing a college student and a detective.

What are the grounds for requesting a retrial?

The poorly executed investigation and use of coercion is the reason.

I met with the detective from Incheon's west division who

was in charge of the case and arrested Lee Dae-chul.

It was a very heated discussion.

I'll tell you the details as we watch the clip.

Detective!

You're the detective who was in charge of Lee Dae-chul's case 5 years ago, right?

Yes, what is this about?

Is that you?

Yes.

You know that Lee Dae-chul requested a retrial, right?

A death row inmate would do anything to save his own life.

He's just trying to save himself.

Wait!

You know that a evangelist who recently committed

suicide claimed that Lee Dae-chul was innocent, right?

It was before the execution order was announced.

Then this might not be just to avoid the execution.

It was revealed that the two had planned it together. Where are you from?

So you're saying that there is no way Lee Dae-chul is innocent, right?

What kind of detective would think that the suspect they arrested is innocent?

The grounds for a retrial were based on a poorly executed investigation.

What do you think about that?

Let's say that the police did a bad job.

Then do you think the judge and the prosecutor are all idiots?

They sentenced him to death because of the evidence!

I'm busy right now. Damn it, you piece of...

Detective!

This is all bull shit!

You piece of... Get that out of my face!

Why did you curse so much on camera?

The reporter pissed me off.

He told me--

As you said, it seems like there's another reason.

The detective had an intense reaction.

Yes, you'll understand why he reacted that way when you watch the next clip.

We were able to meet with the victim's family from Lee Dae-chul's case.

Take a look.

You were dating Yoon Ji-sun around the time she was murdered?

Yes.

Did the police look at you after the murder?

No.

Not at all.

You didn't even give a statement?

If you were dating the victim, you would've been the number one suspect.

Why did the police do that?

I don't know. They must've had their reason.

Although I don't understand why.

Anyway, you think that there was a problem with the investigation, right?

Yes.

To be honest, I can't really trust the police.

As you saw...

Who is that?

- I don't know. - If you don't know, then who would?

I wasn't in charge of the early part of the investigation.

Jang Jin-su and Nam Gook-hyun were in charge of it.

And he even asked us to help find out the truth for the victim.

You think this will change the judge's mind?

I looked into the judge, and it's going to be a hard fight.

An elite judge who scored at the top 10% on his exams.

A judge takes that record for the rest of their career.

A man like that won't get persuaded easily.

Maybe he'll listen to God.

The Catholic Peace Committee who has been requesting to abolish executions

is holding a silent protest asking to abolish

executions and for an immediate retrial for Lee Dae-chul.

Yes, sir, it's me.

I have a favor to ask.

We have breaking news.

The supreme court has accepted Lee Dae-chul's request for retrial.

The supreme court has ordered the Seoul court to hold a retrial.

People are waiting to see what the first retrial

will bring with the impending execution.

You heard the news, right?

We made the impossible happen.

Holding a retrial is hard especially with an impending execution.

You could be an actor.

You were a natural in front of the camera.

We're going to look for work with the film industry after this.

Why are you dragging me into it?

I realized that you're a genius when it comes to scamming people.

You can write the script, and I'll act. Don't you think it will be a hit?

You can be the villain.

A villain that curses a lot.

A villain's role won't suit me. A detective role is perfect for me.

There are a lot of bad detectives too.

So you've thought of me as a bad detective, huh?

I'm just talking about the visuals.

What's wrong with the way I look?

You're the one who looks like a con artist.

Stop smiling.

My goodness.

We haven't won the case yet.

This is just the beginning.

The beginning is very important.

And I think the press is on our side too.

Isn't the beginning part going well?

If I were the judge, I wouldn't have accepted this retrial.

He only accepted it because of the press.

The evidence that we provided aren't strong enough.

Well, we'll work on it--

You know we don't have much time, right?

We need to decide on the direction of the trial first.

We'll put more emphasis on Yoon Ji-sun's case more than Jang Jin-su.

If he's found not guilty for Yoon Ji-sun's case,

we will be able to stop the execution order.

And what's most important is,

we have to prove that the investigation was handled poorly.

We have to put the focus on the corruption of the

police, coercion, and a poorly handled investigation.

You know that all depends on what you say, right?

I'll do everything I can.

We have to win.

So you've agreed to have this retrial.

A cabinet reshuffling will get announced soon.

There's no reason to take on a risk early in my term.

I need to get rid of it before my term begins.

The opposition party is already preparing for a hearing.

They'll make a big deal about Oh Jong-tae.

I need you to meet with him again before my appointment to get his word.

To be honest, I don't trust him.

Okay, I'll take care of it.

Just say the word.

I just need to lay low, right?

If I do need to step in,

you can tell me what to say.

I'll make sure I don't go off script.

I'll let you know when the hearing is held.

Is Congressman Yoo involved in any way with Lee Dae-chul's retrial?

Why are you curious about that?

Just wondering.

The justice department decided on it because of the press.

But I think there may have been some influence from a powerful man.

The current Attorney General doesn't have any power.

All of the power is already with the next Attorney General.

So the person who can make a decision about that is...

I don't know why you're so curious about that,

but I can tell you one thing.

The one who opens the door is the one who can also close it.

Well, I look forward to working with you.

So that neither of us gets hurt.

I just don't get it.

What grounds do they have to hold a retrial?

Who is supporting Lee Dae-chul?

I don't know.

That's what I'd like to know too.

He doesn't have anything.

I think he sent letters from prison.

I think the Catholic organization is moving because of that too.

A retrial has already been decided, so we can't do anything about that.

Us three are the only ones who were involved with the case in this division.

I can take care of myself,

but you two, make sure you keep your mouths shut.

Don't do an interview no matter how much the reporters beg you.

Don't hand over any files even if the lawyer requests for it.

We don't have any left over files anyway.

The court might call for you, but don't show up.

It's not illegal to not show up.

- Got it? - Yes, sir.

If things go south for us at the retrial,

the people who were involved with the case will all go down like dominoes.

We'll all be dead.

Yes, sir.

I know that.

This sucks.

Well, I'm sure you have more on the line than I do.

Want to grab some drinks?

No, I'm not in the mood to drink.

Did you go see Lee Dae-chul recently?

Why would I go there?

You're close with Lee Eun-hye.

Didn't she ask you...

to save her dad because he's innocent?

You bastard, why are you asking me that?

Why are you getting so worked up?

What...

Is that what really happened?

Captain Nam.

You came in after me,

but you've advanced way more than me in your career.

Why would you worry about someone like me?

I'll have to deal with the consequences regardless of how the retrial ends.

Just take pity on me, and keep your damn mouth shut.

You're good at that.

And one more thing...

If you mess with someone like me who has nothing to lose...

You better watch yourself.

I don't care about anything.

That was scary.

What are you guys still doing here?

What did the chief say?

Does he know that you were behind it?

Don't let people know that you know about that.

I'll ask for your help if I need it.

So if the chief asks, just say you don't know anything.

You should go home. I'm going to head out soon.

You can go home. I need to take care of some things on my own.

Got it.

Lee Dae-chul's retrial was possible because of Detective Kang and Detective Oh, huh?

Yeah.

Do-Chang is awesome.

No he's not.

It won't do Do-Chang any good if Lee Dae-chul wins the case.

He'll only get on our superiors' bad side.

It's because he was embarrassed.

He's doing this because he didn't want to feel embarrassed for the rest of his life.

I get where he's coming from.

I was about to live the rest of my life feeling embarrassed too.

But Do-Chang helped me.

That's when I realized for the first time why I need to be a detective.

Doesn't it feel like Do-Chang is teaching us something right now?

He's showing us this is what it means to be a detective.

That was a really nice way to put it, huh?

Yeah.

So nice.

Come here.

Detective Kang.

(The Good Detective)

Just kill me instead! Why did you have to drag innocent Eun-hye in?

Why?

Tell me exactly what you did wrong.

Fine, I'll say it at the station.

Why go to the station? This is the scene of the crime.

Did we get more evidence that shows Oh Jong-tae is the killer?

- Did your boss ask you that? - He's not like that.

Did they find evidence that points to you?

You must've been in a hurry.

I admit I drove over the center line!

I won't ever be standing in court.

Does a detective have that much power?

Your brother is a detective!

Look at you!

Who do you think is living in the dumps right now?

Eun-hye asked me.

Lee Dae-chul has to live.
