Episode 30

Prosecutor, you have a guest.

Why did you come here?

I asked for time, but I can't wait any longer.

If you don't make the move properly, I'll do it my way.

And what is your way?

I'm thinking about making a deal with Jang Hye Mi with the evidence in Baek Sang Ah's case.

She'll give me anything she wants if it's to save her daughter.

It was discovered not too long ago at Park In Sook's house when she suddenly passed away.

There should be more. Photos taken with other victims.

We're already looking for them.

Once we find them, even though Gong In Woo's statute of limitations is over,

we should be able to clear your name at least.

Detective Cha! I just came from Park In--

It's okay, tell me.

I just came from Park In Sook's house,

we searched the trash, too, but it turned up empty.

There's nothing that could be used as evidence.

You didn't find anything special on the films?

I was told that's just a single-use camera that was popular back then.

There's no way Gong In Woo would have left them in Park In Sook's care.

I'm sure she found this one by chance and kept it. To get revenge one day.

How about we leak it to the media?

Someplace that likes gossip that keeps creating more gossip.

That's a great idea!

There's a TV program I can set you up with.

The directing producer there is my nephew.

Now, on Inside Cases tonight,

we have Reporter Go's Hot Issue exclusive.

He always causes a chill by bringing us shocking cases. Reporter Go Seong Min,

what did you bring to us tonight?

Today, I got a hold of the best photo possible.

Please excuse us for blurring out the photo since it's too shocking.

Let's take a look first.

If you take a good look, there's someone smiling next to the body of a dead woman.

This man is the suspect who was arrested recently for attempted murder at a nursing hospital, Gong In Woo.

There's been a renewed suspicion that he could be the real culprit in the Yellow Umbrella serial murder case from 30 years ago.

This photo is the evidence of that.

Detective Cha, do you think this will be effective?

Butterfly effect.

We're hoping that a small wave will cause a typhoon.

But wasn't that case closed as the acts of Gong Ji Cheol who was called the serial murderer of the century?

Did you see this?

He was already executed 32 years ago.

If Gong In Woo is the real culprit,

then Mr. Gong Ji Cheol got wrongly executed.

What's more surprising is that--

Hey, it's no joke about Gong In Woo. Have you seen it?

Wow, crazy... What is that?

He's not crazy but a psycho.

How was this possible?

It's because the departments of police, prosecution, and justice were that corrupt back then.

The problem is that the prosecutor in charge of that case 32 years ago

is the candidate for Director of the Public Prosecutors' Office, Prosecutor Cheon Seok Tae.

As we know, the hearing is coming up in a few days.

Candidate Cheon's morals and ethics need to be closely examined.

Right now, the Blue House is not in a position to keep supporting you.

We suggest you voluntarily resign.

If it's revealed that Gong In Woo is the real culprit of the Yellow Umbrella Serial Murders,

we can't charge him for his crimes since the statute of limitations is over, right?

Who cares about the statue of limitations?!

He killed all those people! We should put him on trial

and throw him behind bars for good!

Right, right. I completely agree with your wise opinion, my comrade.

That's right.

Uncles,

please be quiet!

The truth has no statute of limitations.

But clearing Mr. Gong Ji Cheol's name

and taking the steps to restore his reputation is vital.

Witness, did you see the suspect killing Yoon Jeong Hee?

Yes.

That isn't all. What's even more shocking is that

Ms. Baek who is currently on trial for the copycat murders of the Yellow Umbrella case, do you remember him?

Yes. It caused an uproar since she is the daughter of Ms. J who wrote the Memories of the Murderer.

That's right.

I have received a tip from a reliable source that Ms. Baek is the daughter of Gong In Woo.

Are you saying Ms. J is Gong In Woo's secret mistress?

That's right.

So there's a high chance that the book, Memories of the Murderer, isn't fiction but factual.

If you switch the name Gong Ji Cheol in the book with Gong In Woo,

the puzzle pieces of the murderer can now all be fitted together.

You'll never give up until you kill Ha Eun.

No!

Do you have an alibi for every hour?

Whether it's personal or private, I don't think she has any reason to talk to a murder case suspect like you.

I'm not done with you yet.

And you're still a suspect. My motive for murder is my principle.

My principle is that I have to get rid of those who hurt my people.

Why did you call for me?

You saw the broadcast, didn't you? Everyone was excitedly talking about it.

Thanks to me, the media outlets must have made a lot of money.

Are you okay?

Why? Oh, right. Because that photo was revealed?

Tell them to do whatever they want. What can they do with just one photo?

Don't worry and just take care of the rest of the photos well.

Don't create unnecessary issues.

Aren't you worried about Sang Ah?

What about her?

Your daughter is being pegged as the copy cat criminal who followed in the steps of her father's murders.

It's the worst situation with the second hearing coming up.

That's your expertise. Like you protected me, protect her, too.

That's why you became a lawyer, didn't you?

Even if it doesn't go well, don't be distraught.

Sang Ah is my work of art.

She's a masterpiecee.

Like my paintings, even after time passes, she'll remain as a work of art.

Gong In Woo...

I thought you were some kind of a god.

When you killed my sexually abusive stepfather for me saying that you'd save me by shedding blood,

I really felt saved. I felt like I was reborn.

That's right. I think I saw a halo of some kind over you back then.

What are you talking about right--

Whenever I was able to obtain more things and climb higher,

I thought that you made that happen for me.

So that's why I kept looking up to you and doing whatever you asked of me.

You're just... a pervert idiot who's crazy about murdering.

What? You dare treat your daughter the same way as your lousy paintings?

You don't care about your daughter, whether she shares your blood or not.

You crazy bastard, just spend the rest of your life in there.

Until you rot and decay, die in there!

No... don't you dare come out even after you die.

Jang Hye Mi...

Hye Mi!

Again?

Because of releasing it to the media, we only got tons more useless leads.

Not like we can ignore them. It's such a waste of time! Why didn't you stop them?

I didn't know this was what the butterfly effect meant.

Instead of a typhoon, the mail keeps pouring in.

And also, why are there

so many wronged people!

Detective Joo...

Detective Cha! Prosecutor!

Detective Cha, we got real evidence!

The person who sent them?

There was a return address, so it'll be difficult to find out.

We have all 10 cases?

Yes, all 10.

Okay then.

Even if we can't put him behind bars, we should be able to get him good!

But these two photos don't fit.

What are these? Another case?

2008, March...

Huh? Then that's within the statute of limitations.

What? Then we can put Gong In Woo behind bars?

Prepare to indict him for an 11th case.

Yes!

Please give us a statement!

Just one photo caused an uproar and

it's been revealed that the murders of Gong In Woo from 32 years ago were all true.

Not only that, a new evidence came to light for another case within the statute of limitations

and Gong In Woo will now stand trial at court as a suspect again.

Today must be a special day. You look so happy.

Yes, I'm going to confess to someone I like.

Oh, I hope all goes well.

Here. I wish you the best.

Thank you.

No, stay away!

Hyeong Bin, it's Gong Ji Cheol.

Sa Bin?

Oh, she's here.

She usually doesn't pick up when she's drinking.

Okay then. Come here.

Uncles. Let me ask you one thing.

What is it? A dating advice?

If it's about love, you can ask me.

This is about... a friend of mine, you see.

I see. Not you but a friend? Yeah, what happened?

She likes someone.

She gets excited when she sees him, and she wonders about him when she doesn't. And her hearts beats for him.

Really? Who is he?

There's someone like that. A tall, cool, and an intelligent person.

But, he also likes my friend.

That's good then!

What's the problem?

The problem is... there's another man.

- Two timer? - That's not right.

Sa Bin, there's a limit.

There's loyalty!

So? Keep going.

She just feels sorry for him whenever she sees him.

She feels bad and worries about him, and wants to hug him.

So... whenever she sees him, her heart hurts.

So, her heart beats for one man,

and for another, she feels pain in her heart?

That's it.

Now, tell me.

Uncles, which one do you think is real love?

- Beating! - Hurting!

Do you want her to have painful love

or pretty love? At her age, a beating heart is real love.

Hey, that's why you don't know love.

Excitement is short-lived and the feeling of sadness lasts long.

If you're to live together for life, you have to go for the long-lasting.

Sa Bin, what do you think?

She's sleeping.

Our Jong Beom!

Your timing is not so great!

You're here?

What happened to...

Sa Bin is...

Gong Ji Cheol's name was cleared today.

32 years later.

When this day came, I thought I could come to you without any shame.

But it wasn't true.

To you, I'm still a murderer.

I killed Yoon Jeong Hee and Cha Hyeong Bin.

In front of you at that.

Someone who remembers the worst part of me, why did it have to be you?

When I think about that, I don't feel like I can ever come to you.

Oh, my head!

Did I teleport?

I know I was drinking at uncles' place.

You're crazy, aren't you?

My head is going to split! Why are you hitting my head?

Then I should just hit you on your back! You're nuts!

You're insane!

Now you drink and get piggybacked here by your student?

Student? Who?

Jong Beom?

He carried me here?

That's right. Your stalker student.

Because of you, my blood is going to dry up and become remains myself!

Then that wasn't a dream?

What's with your response? You're making me nervous.

I... heard something strange from Jong Beom.

In order to save you, I killed Yoon Jeong Hee.

I wanted to give her heart to you.

Yoon Jeong Hee was a bad mother who killed her own child.

Even when I went to the snowy hill to seek salvation from you,

people all said that I went to kill you.

I only wanted to confess to you for the last time and give you my heart.

I... I am...

Gong Ji Cheol!

No!

No one gave me a chance to speak.

No one... believed me.

Don't die.

I'll find a heart for you.

That day at the emergency room, you're the one who held my hand, wasn't it?

When I fainted in the phone booth,

you took me to the hospital, too.

What do I do?

What do I do?

Hey! Where are you going in that state?

♫ Meeting you ♫

♫ I don't want it to become a sad destiny ♫

Is something wrong?

Did you really...

kill Yoon Jeong Hee for me?

♫ It remains even in flowing tears ♫

To give me a heart?

♫ Please let me be by your side ♫

Then on the snowy hill, too,

you didn't come to kill me but to give me your heart?

♫ Even if I'm left alone again ♫

It really wasn't a dream.

Sorry, I thought you were sleeping, so...

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

How hard must it have been for you.

You were only trying to save me by doing those things.

But I... called you a beast.

I said you would never be born again.

Without realizing that, until the moment of death,

I... hated you

and blamed you.

♫ The place that remained far away ♫

Whenever I fainted, you were the one who always saved me.

♫ In that dark and lonely place ♫

If not for you, I would have died sooner.

Then... I probably wouldn't have even met Hyeong Bin.

♫ I'm afraid to be lost again like your dreams ♫

♫ Please let me be by your side ♫

I'm sorry.

♫ Pain rushes into the heart ♫

I'm sorry.

Gong Ji Cheol.

♫ Even if I'm left alone again ♫

I heard you had something to say to me.

I wanted to ask you for a good trial today.

I will do my best.

I have a list of the remains you were hiding away in your safe.

I'm sure that won't matter if the trial goes well, but you never know.

If it doesn't go well, I might want to use it to lash out.

Just be careful is what I'm telling you.

At the last trial, the accused Baek Sang Ah provided an alibi for the suspect murder of Gang Do Cheol.

Also, we established that on the attempted murder charge of Joo In Do,

his testimony had no credibility.

Therefore, the accused Baek Sang Ah, on these two charges

again pleads innocence.

Prosecutor

Accused, Counsel

Prosecution, please state your argument.

Prosecutor, do you have nothing more to say?

On the day Detective Joo In Do was attacked by suspect Baek Sang Ah,

someone witnessed it and reported it to police. I ask witness Cheon Jong Beom to the stand.

Please swear in as a witness.

I swear to tell the truth according to my conscience without hiding or adding

and if there is a lie, I swear to be punished for perjury.

Witness, Cheon Jong Beom.

Prosecution, please state your argument.

Thank you for keeping your word.

Before I begin the questioning, I'll show you the evidence witness has submitted.

Order!

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Here's the ruling.

To suspect Baek Sang Ah, pursuant to article 250 paragraph 1 in the Criminal Law,

I sentence her to life in prison.

Without your evidence, we would have lost today.

Thanks for waiting and trusting me to the end.

Since the beginning, I never intended to hand over the file to Jang Hye Mi.

I also had a debt to pay to Baek Sang Ah.

And let me apologize properly.

To you in our past lives and in our present lives, too,

I'm sorry. I mean it.

I didn't realize receiving an apology from someone would be this comforting to me.

I also apologize.

I... killed you.

On top of that, in front of someone you loved.

Someone who looked good with a fountain pen and in a uniform

a man who Jeong Ha Eun loved...

I was jealous of you.

I'm sure there's still homework left to be done.

I have to find out who tried to kill me.

Gong Ji Cheol could be watching you from very close.

Even if the body disappears,

but the wronged soul will come back.

Come in.

What brings you by?

I have a question to ask.

What is it that you're here at this hour?

I met a man by chance not too long ago.

When he saw me he trembled, saying that Gong Ji Cheol came back to life.

What?

You met him in person, so you would know well.

To you, do I look that similar to Gong Ji Cheol, too?

What's wrong with you?

What did he say?

Cheon Seok Tae told him that if he didn't keep his mouth shut,

he wouldn't leave him or his daughter alone.

Who are you?

Did you kill me?

I'm now certain who I like.

I'm leaving tomorrow to study abroad.

Can you not go?

Are you really going to leave like this?

Think about it as homework for the rest of your life.

Sending away someone I love, I guess my heart can't withstand it.

You said she could live if she receives surgery.

I shouldn't have told you.

You have to stay with Jeong Sa Bin.

I will become healthy again for your sake.

You still have a chance.

When you get discharged, let's go somewhere where we can see the stars well.

I now have a reason to live. I want to live.
