STRANGER 2

ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
LOCATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

"Let's sacrifice one member

and save the whole team."
Is that what you thought?

Why would I harm that prosecutor?

"I'm finally mustering up my courage.

I was at the scene that day."

I saw someone putting something
in the trunk of a car.

I saw his face.

He saw the culprit's face.

What's his deal?

He went in and out of jail
for gambling and scamming.

I think it's a pattern on the watch.
Are they flowers?

What we saw in the photo is not
a ceiling light.

It's a watch. A police watch.

What do you mean?

Are you kidding me?

Bring those Segok Station jerks.
Summon them right now!

Damn it.

This is freaking ridiculous.

All right.

-Mr. Jeon Gi-hyeok?
-Yes?

You made the witness report, right?
It's Yongsan Station.

Where are you now?

Look. We have your resident registration
number as well as your address.

We can't wait around,
so just tell us where you are.

Where are you now?

Tell us, or we'll just go to your house.

EPISODE 11

Over there, please.

Come on in.

Sit at the very end.

Hello, sir.

-Hey.
-Hello, sir.

Hey, what about our team?

Detective Jang is getting the witness.

Sun-chang is getting their captain.

-Are they on their way?
-Not sure.

The captain's on patrol,
but they can't reach him.

-Call them.
-Okay.

Captain Baek…

What?

DETECTIVE SEO

My gosh.

Are you trying to remove
a huge nail or something?

Yes.

You know that you need
to mix this with water, right?

Yes, I know.

-Thank you.
-Have a good day.

DAEWON MOTEL

Who are you?

Hello, sir.

Hello.

Hey, you're here too.

Well, you can sit over there.

-Kim Su-hang.
-Yes, sir.

So you worked as a volunteer
bathing the elderly.

Did you wash the blood off there?

No, sir.

I worked all day from dawn to dusk.

He did work all day. We've verified it.

Who works at Bangsan Market?

That's me, sir.

So it's your mother's shop?

She could have said you were there even if
you weren't because she's your mother.

That day,

I worked until late at night.
All the other shop owners know that.

What day?

The day the prosecutor went missing.
Isn't that why you summoned all of us?

As for the other shop owners,

your mother could have asked them to say
they saw you that day.

What? Come on.

There were customers too.

It's been days.
You think they'd still remember your face?

I don't even remember who I saw yesterday.

My customers are all regulars.

The missing prosecutor…
I've never even met him.

There were security cameras at the shop.

We've confirmed he worked late.

When did you come to Seoul?

How is it to be back in your hometown?

I work at a security company.

I worked the night shift on March 26.

I responded to a false alarm
and reported it.

We've verified it, sir.

I live in Ulsan now.

I was nowhere near Seoul that day,
let alone the scene.

Shouldn't you have a legitimate reason
to be summoning me?

I'm not a cop anymore,

so I am not obligated
to obey any of your orders.

How could you summon
an innocent, hardworking civilian

just based on a groundless suspicion?

You prick.
Can you not gauge the situation?

When did you come to Seoul?

Did you come to set your stories straight?

-You summoned me.
-Sir.

We summoned him today
for an investigation interview.

There were six of you.

The three of you here.

One is in jail now.

Did you not hear back
from the one who emigrated?

Yes, sir. He hasn't returned
since he left the country.

Where's your captain?

That's…

One of our detectives went to get him.

Well, should I step out and call him?

You have such good vision for your age.

You don't miss a single thing, do you?

Where did you hide him?

Among the four suspects, one has no alibi.

That means he's the culprit.

You own the store in Bogwang-dong.

Did he show up and interrogate you?

And you lost it?

You beat up the chairman's grandson.

He dared to drive poorly
and give you muscle cramps.

Did you assault the prosecutor
with that temper of yours?

Sauna.

I was at a sauna.

Which one?

Which one?

Gold Sauna.

-Check his alibi.
-Yes, sir.

So, did you fake your overtime?

When did you find out?

We found out about it just now.

And the shop in Bogwang-dong?

The shop…

We learned about that
when we learned about the faked overtime.

We've already checked the shop.

Doesn't that mean

that you had enough time to inform
the prosecutors' office in charge?

There's something more
I need to know, right?

It's a watch. A police watch.

What did I do so wrong?

What's so wrong
with getting some overtime pay?

Let's be honest.

There were many work-related expenses
that I paid for myself.

When I had an accident on the job,
I took care of the expenses.

And I worked all night
almost every day as a detective.

Did you pay me properly then?

-Uncle.
-Shut it!

I'll just quit.

It was so bad that our bank account
was overdrawn.

You should be ashamed of yourself!

Hey!

I'm sorry I'm late.

Did he resist?

No, it's not that.

What are you talking about?

We really needed money.

We're sorry, sir.

Sergeant Lee's mother was very ill.

Sergeant Lee? The one in jail?

He said she'd pass away
if she was taken off her meds.

He held out for five years
with his rent deposit,

-Hey!
-but even that money was gone.

-Enough!
-Break it up!

He said he couldn't go on anymore
and burst into tears in front of us.

-Hey!
-Move back!

I felt so bad for him.

Jeez, what are you saying?

But he said it'd be covered by insurance
as soon as the new law passes

and that it'd only cost one percent
of the price.

-Hello?
-Come on.

We were going to hold out just until then.

"Hold out"? How?

This is what I said to my team.

Just until the law changes…

We'll accept bribes.

I said we'd do it just until the meds

could be covered by insurance.

Take bribes from bar owners?

But you kept on doing it.

We couldn't stop.

What about Sergeant Baek?

No, not Captain. I swear.

He pulled out as soon as we no longer
needed the money for the medicine.

He had no idea
we continued to take bribes.

As the captain of the team,

you knew they were leaking
information to the bar owners, didn't you?

How could I not have known?

I just couldn't stop them.

You did try to stop us.

You yelled at us and even pleaded with us.

I dragged them into it after all.

I was the one who planted that awful seed…

in their heads.

Sergeant Baek, where were you on March 26,

between 19:00 to 23:00?

That really wasn't me.

I went straight home after work.

Your wife was the one who said
you were home that night.

Yes, she lives with me. Who else
would know whether or not I was home?

Jeez, that startled me.

What was that?

-Sorry to interrupt, but…
-Do you think we're idiots?

If you showed us his suicide note
after all these years,

did you think we'd go,
"Gosh, it was indeed suicide"?

I found this on Sergeant Song's desk

after he passed away.

This says that you took bribes,
bullied him, and made his life hell.

And you kept this all these years?
Who'd believe that?

-I couldn't chuck it out.
-Why not?

I was scared.

I was afraid

that he'd haunt me as a ghost

if I burned it.

I wasn't holding onto it.

I just shoved it somewhere people can't--

How could you…
You've kept it all these years?

And you let them insult me like this?

The thing is--

If we didn't kill Sergeant Song,

it means we had nothing to do
with the missing prosecutor.

It was suicide,
so what's there for us to hide?

Why would we be threatened
by that prosecutor?

We'll verify this at the prosecution.

Sure.

The witness is here.

You have nothing to be afraid of
if everything you said is true.

Let's get this over with.

STRANGER 2

-There was a witness?
-No idea.

Yes, there is.

How do you know?

I found this on Sergeant Song's desk

after he passed away.

Go on in.

Stand in a straight line
and face the front, please.

Stand over here.

I'm your superior, you bastards!

Over here, please.

Do we really have to do this?

Let's just get it over with.

We'll see who it is

that gets over and done with.

Face forward, please.

The witness is here.

Come on in.

Is he here?

Yes.

Who is it?

It's him.

You may leave.

Let's go.

Mr. Baek Jung-gi.

You're under arrest
for kidnapping and confinement.

-What?
-You may remain silent,

-hire an attorney, or explain yourself.
-It wasn't me.

You may file a complaint
for unlawful detainment.

-No, it wasn't me.
-Come on.

Bring the witness here!

Move.

Could you tell us more details
about what you witnessed?

I have nothing more to tell you.

I wrote everything in the comment.

I was going up the stairs
and saw someone suspicious.

I saw his face, and it was him.
That's all.

What was the distance
between the staircase and the vehicle?

That I don't know.

Mr. Jeon, how good is your eyesight?

It was dark.
Could you really see his face?

Well, I have good eyesight.

Also, it wasn't that far.

Why didn't you come forward sooner?

Well…

I thought I had witnessed something

so I looked up some articles and stuff.

And every time I used my phone,
I saw that video

of the prosecutor's wife
pleading for help to find him.

So I felt bad.

If you saw the news,

I'm sure you knew that a cop
was interviewed as a suspect.

Yes.

So maybe you assumed
the culprit would be a cop.

Maybe you just pointed him out
because he was in a police uniform.

Gosh, no.

I was also surprised to see that man
in a police uniform.

-Is he here?
-Yes.

Why were you there at that time?

To visit my friend's place.

Can we have your friend's address?

Why?

If you don't believe me, just forget it.

What the hell?
It's not like I did something wrong.

I didn't see anything. Can I just go now?

Was this taken at your place?

No! I told you.
Why would I do something like this?

Listen.

Let's say I'm the culprit.

But I'm a police officer too.

Why would I send a clue like that?

Because you're a cop.

You know how to mess
with the investigation.

Sir.

This is a setup, all right?

This is just ridiculous!

Why would the witness set you up?

Where's Prosecutor Seo?

Tell us right now.

Did you bury him?
Is that why you're not telling us?

Do you remember the motel floor?
Was it similar to the photo?

No, it was a different pattern.

Did you hide the prosecutor in that motel?

The room was tiny.
There was just one blanket on the floor.

Did you check the whole motel?

How can you know from just one room?

Could he…

You saw Sergeant Song's will.

What motive would I have
for harming the prosecutor?

You must have been upset

because he kept accusing you
of killing Sergeant Song.

Is that why you fought?
Did you hit him with a brick?

Hey. Why are you crying?

Don't you know who wants
to cry the most here?

Damn it.

You saw him at a gambling house, right?

You were gambling
at one of the houses, right?

I'll really get killed
if I tell you the location.

The police should protect the witness.

The neighborhood was in chaos
because of the case,

and it's still open?

That's not what's important.
I'm telling you, he's the culprit.

Mr. Jeon Gi-hyeok.

This is different from scamming.
You'll get additional punishment.

Jeez. Is this how you treat a witness?

Is it because of money?

Money?

You're doing this so you won't
have to give me the reward.

You don't want to pay me 10 million won,
right?

Are you here because of the money?

Yes. What's so wrong about that?

You're the ones who offered
the reward money.

I know you're treating me like a fraud

and threatening me,
expecting me to give up the money.

But you're wrong.

I couldn't sleep because of the nightmares
since I saw those legs that night.

You know how tough it is
when you can't sleep well.

I have the right to get that money.

No matter how much you threaten me,
I saw what I saw.

The money is mine.

Give us the address.

Didn't you hear anything I said?

If you want that money,
tell us where you witnessed it.

Tell Team One and Two to go to the motel.

-You search his house.
-Yes, sir.

Bring his clothes from the house

-so he can remove that police uniform.
-Okay. We'll go now.

Sir, at least let me make a phone call.

To get rid of evidence?

My wife will be startled!

Prosecutor Seo's wife is the one
who was startled.

You're a cop. You know what it's like
to be screwed over by some lowlife.

How do you think I'd feel
because of what you did?

I'll get stoned to death soon.
Because of you…

Isn't Senior Inspector Han
the one who's really screwed?

Right.

She was the one who was on TV.
They'll blame her,

not the director.

What if they blame her
because she was the one in charge?

We're not hiding anything anymore.

BOGWANG-DONG BICHANG-RO 11BEON-GIL

So what about Seo Dong-jae?

Okay. Good work, Prosecutor Hwang.

You picked up right away.

Aren't you supposed to
be busy writing articles?

How did you know it was me?

Yes, they got him.
It's the suspect from before.

Yes, the witness saw him at the scene.

That's right.

Could we check your room?

Oh, my gosh!

You startled me.

My goodness.

Were you about to hit me with that?

I thought you were one of the gamblers.

So this must be the gambling house.

There's no one inside.

I can see you.

Maybe it's because I know you.
I see you clearly.

What about the plate number?

You're in front of the plate, so…

He said he saw the car leaving.

Still, I can't see the numbers.

I can only see that there is a plate.

The witness said he couldn't
see the numbers.

When did you ask him that?

Excuse me.

Do you remember the shoes
of the missing victim?

What?

Yes, they were men's dress shoes.

Very common ones.

What about the car color?

The car of the officer you pointed out.

I think it was a dark color.

I think that's what I saw.

Did you see the license plate?

If you could see his face, then maybe…

Well, it was nighttime,

and he was standing in front of the plate

so I couldn't see it.

Like this?

But license plates are pretty long.

Maybe you could have seen the numbers
at each end.

He said he also felt bad

that he couldn't see the numbers.

You could have just used the door
on your way out.

Oh, about that message.

It wasn't Captain Baek's house.

He could have thrown away the watch,

but he couldn't have changed the floors.

And our team checked all the motel rooms.

And we need another warrant.

The witness' phone location history.

-I already made a request.
-I see.

Well, our team's still investigating
Captain Baek's house.

I'm going to go to Yongsan Station
and talk to him again.

I told you everything, okay?

Hello.

Bye, then.

-Hello?
-I heard you got the culprit.

What about Seo Dong-jae?

We didn't find him yet.

Why not?

Is he not talking?

He's strongly denying it.

What's there to deny?
I heard he was seen doing it.

I thought the witness saw it all.

We're still checking.

I'll call you when we find him.

I'm sure it'll be on the news
if you find him.

They've already published
the articles about his arrest.

Just focus on your work.

Yes, sir.

A man has come forward claiming
to have witnessed the kidnapping

of the prosecutor
that happened in Yongsan on March 26th.

This witness has pointed out

an active police officer as a suspect
leaving people in shock.

The police are yet to release
an official statement…

Witness testimony was revealed to be
in conflict with the police announcement

suspecting that the culprit could have
kidnapped the prosecutor out of grudge…

-It's unbelievable.
-It doesn't make sense.

-Did you hear?
-Yes.

The Minister of Justice
and the Minister of Security

asked the Prosecutor General
for a meeting.

It's only a small chance,
but they may ask us

to hand over the investigative rights
to the police despite the situation.

Prosecutor Kim and Prosecutor Hwang.

-Yes?
-Prepare a resignation letter.

Yes, sir.

Starting with us…

Aren't you listening to me?

I was listening.

But things won't go that far, right?

At the moment,
it looks like we have the upper hand.

All the prosecutors are in an uproar,

saying that a cop
beat a prosecutor to death.

They wouldn't dare to bring up
anything about investigative rights.

If they do, we're going on strike.

All our offices are going to close down
and stop working.

If 2,000 prosecutors stop working,

no one will mention investigative rights.

No one in the current government
or the next.

I guess so.

The toughest problem we were facing
seems to be getting solved now.

But I heard you guys caught the culprit.

Where's the victim, then?

There's no need to ask him now.

We can't let the police
keep working on this case.

The central district office
will take over.

Prepare the documents to hand over.

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

You send over the files too.

Yes, sir.

-It's almost time.
-Yes.

Good luck, sir.

Should I stay here with you?

I'm pretty sure our listeners
already heard the news.

-It's starting already?
-Today on the show,

we have Prosecutor Woo Tae-ha
from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office

to share his thoughts on
the kidnapping of a prosecutor

at the hands of an active police officer.

Prosecutor Woo Tae-ha?

Hi, I'm Woo Tae-ha from
the Criminal Legislation Division.

Many people, including myself,
are curious whether it's true.

Is it true that the witness
pointed out a cop as the culprit?

Well, as released by the media,

it's true that the witness
made such a statement.

But it hasn't been confirmed.

We can't say for sure
that he is the culprit.

It wouldn't matter that much

whether the victim was an ordinary citizen
or a prosecutor,

but isn't it a serious matter if an active
police officer is actually the culprit?

The prosecution service might be
emotionally charged right now.

THE POLICE HAVE DENIED POSSIBILITIES
OF THE CULPRIT BEING ONE OF THEIR OWN

Well, I believe that
the police as a whole

should not be criticized for the deed
of just one individual.

Many people, including myself,
feel the same way.

What's more shocking is
that there are rumors saying

that this case has something to do with
the corruption of the suspected officer.

Is this true?

If so, there's something
the listeners would be worried about.

If the prosecution did not have
investigative authority, in other words,

people have been asking whether
the corruption would have been revealed

if the police could
close the case on their own.

The police…

I'm not in the position to
be pointing fingers.

Investigations cannot be closed
by the police

without the prosecution's knowledge.

Regardless of who
has the right to close a case,

it is our job as prosecutors
to review the case files thoroughly

to make sure the citizens
are not treated unfairly.

But if we don't have the authority…

Let's take this case as an example.

I think it's extremely possible

that the very thing the citizens
are worried about could happen.

I see.

Unprecedentedly, the Supreme Prosecutors'
Office led the investigation on this case.

You, especially,
must have worked very hard.

Well, I don't think
I can say that just yet

since our colleague is yet to be found.

We need to work harder.

I hope the victim is found soon.

Thank you for your time today,
Prosecutor Woo.

Yes. Thank you.

Come in.

The Deputy Prosecutor General wants
to congratulate you over lunch.

There's really no need…

They're celebrating
when the victim's not found yet…

I'm heading out to lunch.

STRANGER 2

Mr. Baek Jung-gi.

Would you stop already?

Where is he?

My husband.

Our kids are still young.

Our youngest is still a baby.

They didn't get to spend much time
with their father.

Where is my husband?

It wasn't me.

Even if he's dead,

please send him back to me.

Even if it's just his body.

Why won't you tell them?

Things can't get any worse for you.

Please.

Please, I'm begging you.

We can't go on not knowing
whether he's dead or alive.

I don't know!

It really isn't me!

This is driving me crazy too!

I wish I could just confess everything.

I wish I could end this. I really do.

But I don't know what happened.

I didn't do anything to him.

I have a kid too.

Please believe me. It really isn't me.

You can just tell me.

I promise I won't tell the police.

Please just tell me where he is.

-It really isn't me.
-Please.

It's not me.

No.

It really isn't me.

It's not me. It really isn't.

I heard you came.

Why don't you come and sit over here?

Is he really the culprit?

You should go home.

We'll call you if there's any news.

The Central District Prosecutors' Office
will be taking over.

They're all colleagues of your husband,
so they'll do their best.

And I'll keep searching too.

The witness really saw him do it, right?

Yes.

My husband said this once.

He said that the culprits

always say it wasn't them.

That they always deny their crimes,

but it always turns out

that they were lying through their teeth.

Did he say something to you in there?

What happens if he keeps denying it?

We'll keep questioning him.

And we'll keep
investigating and searching.

It must be really tough.

My youngest will be home soon.

Did you come alone?

Are you sure you're okay to drive?

Be careful on your way home.

VIOLENT CRIMES UNIT TEAM 3

Hello?

Yes, I made the request
for his phone location history.

Yes, for the 26th.

So was the signal really caught
at that station?

So he really was at the scene.

Okay, thanks.

And he says it wasn't him.

Damn you.

PROSECUTOR HWANG

The gambling house is closed.

Don't worry, no one will see you.

Where is it?

Is that it? Tell me where it was.

-Yes. It was right there.
-All right.

You told me to bring my ID and a copy
of my bankbook so I could get the money.

When can I get it?

Not until the on-the-spot
inspection's done.

This must be your first time
getting reward money?

Is it always like this?

It'll only take a minute.

We found the victim's DNA
in the culprit's car anyway.

Is it that car?

Is that the cop's car?

Yes, we have to bring it back,
so let's hurry.

Plus, it's cold out here.

I think it was that car.

The color's the same?

Yes. It was black.

And he was standing there like that.

What about the plate?

I already told you I couldn't see it.

You can't see it now too?

Can you really see that?

I can only tell that the plate
is white and the numbers are black.

I can't see it either.

Maybe it could have been brighter
that night.

No.

You said you saw the culprit leaving.

The tail lights would've been on.
But you didn't see any number?

I couldn't focus on that. I was startled
when I accidentally kicked something here.

I thought I'd get caught.

I was hiding like this.

-Like this?
-Yes.

I really can't see it.

I guess you could have only seen
that it was black and white.

I'll report what you just said, okay?

-Okay.
-All right.

Can I get my money now?

Are you color blind?

What?

Even if you're color blind, you'd still be
able to tell the difference.

We're done.

It's impossible to have missed that
no matter how dark it was.

You're right…

Why didn't I notice that?

Maybe I was too focused on the person.

I guess I was more startled
than I thought.

Why did you do it?

Do what?

So you were setting me up,
not inspecting the crime scene.

You still don't believe me.

Why are you all gathered here?

Oh, I get it now.

It's not because of the money.
It's because I accused a cop.

They've been talking about it all day.

So what do you want me to do?

Should I say I was mistaken
and that it wasn't a cop?

Give me your phone.

You need a warrant for that.

Here comes the man who issued the warrant.

He has it here.

You weren't here on the 26th, were you?

-You didn't see anything, did you?
-I really was here.

You used an app that changes
your GPS location

to pretend you were here.

It takes less than a minute.

We can find out when you used this app
and where you really were at that time.

That's not why I have that app.

I've always used it.

Why would you go this far?

Damn it.

What do you mean why?

Subtitle translation by Liya Choi

STRANGER 2

Things would've been different
if the culprit really was a cop.

With everything going well, we may end up
drawing unwanted attention if we carry on.

The second meeting has been scheduled.

-What?
-Are you still with Prosecutor Hwang?

Why is the investigation over?

We don't even know if he's alive.
If we end it now…

Watching those two,

it seems as if they share everything.

Why don't we resume
the council meeting first?

The rest is in cloud storage.

-Choi Bit has asked to meet him.
-There's no way

the police would approach him
for no reason.

I'm not saying
we shouldn't trust the police.
