Oh?

It must look exactly like this.

Why hasn't she been indicted yet?

I still need to investigate a little more.

Right now, we don't have any direct evidence such as a weapon or a witness.

And she hasn't confessed, herself, either.

Weapon. You may find it soon.

Something needed to appear must appear.

As you and I know, the important thing is that Eun Bong Hee is the culprit, isn't it?

You said you searched this place several times, right?

We did it over and over again, I lost count.

We took apart the house to find the weapon so many times.

But that weapon which still wasn't found even though we did look is in my hand.

And at that, two were found.

Ah, the other... Well, I don't know what's what.

Let's take it to the Forensics Center.

Analyze the blood on these two blades to see if it belongs to Jang Hee Joon as soon as possible and in confidence.

- Confidentially? - Yes.

This one found at the murder scene. It's okay not to keep it confidential.

But this one found at the third party location, not at the murder scene. Please make sure to keep it confidential.

Lawyer, what's your IQ?

143. It's high, right?

Yes.

- You're not going to ask? - What?

Normal people have a conversation as a give and take. It's like when I say "hello" and you say "hello" back.

Yes, my IQ is 143. How about your IQ, Eun Bong Hee?

101.

I passed the bar exam with an IQ of 101. Isn't it surprising?

And moreover, I was originally someone who played a sport.

Do you know how much effort such a person has to make?

I struggled day after day.

I was thinking, "Would it be better if I gave up studying and worked to help the household?"

Even though I didn't have any confidence to pass the bar exam,

it was harder to watch my mom, who was supporting me, than it was to study.

I came all the way here, but all that time,

my hard effort

all are about to leave.

So please don't defend me as a joke.

Don't do it either if you're thinking to help a pitiful person with a light heart.

My life is on the line,

and my family's life is on the line.

Do we really need to look at each other's face? Episode 4

Wook.

How about Eun Bong Hee? Did you meet her?

I did.

And I'm just saying that the reason I asked you to defend her as a lawyer is...

It doesn't seem Eun Bong Hee's right to have a lawyer was adequately satisfied.

I know. No lawyer would want this case.

Even I'm only doing it because you asked. Do you know?

Do you really have to boast about doing it that way?

I'm going to put in my best effort for Eun Bong Hee's defense.

Did someone say you shouldn't?

I'm saying that I'll beat you, Prosecutor No Ji Wook.

Try it then. Let me see if you win.

Are you planning not to lose? Are you going to lock Eun Bong Hee up like this?

Is there a prosecutor who indicts someone in order to lose?

I see.

I'm leaving if you finished your business.

Hey wait, Wook!

Hey, Wook! Wait a second, hey!

- You didn't even drink a cup of coffee, huh? - I think you forgot about it.

How much I hate looking at your face even for one minute, or one second, do you know?

You still can't forgive me after all this time?

No, I really can't.

Hey, then I will keep on begging for your forgiveness. I will beg endlessly.

I can never give up on you. You are the most precious to me, that's why.

Wook, you're going to be the prosecutor? So we'll meet at the trial? See you then, Wook!

Hey Wook! I love you!

Anyway...

Hey, Eun Bong Hee! I had to talk to someone I never wanted to say a word to because of you!

What mistake did I make agai—

Everything about you is a mistake! The essence of wrong.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I probably did something wrong. If I made a mista—

You are just a mistake itself! Precisely so.

What?

So, have you made any progress?

No, it's past lunchtime so we were deciding on the menu.

Okay, wh-wh-what did you decide on?

Jjajangmyeon. (Black Bean Paste Noodles)

Jjajangmyeon...

If they find the blood of the victim Jang Hee Joon on both weapons...

If that comes out?

Then that means Eun Bong Hee

would not be the culprit.

This is probably

my final interrogation of you as a suspect.

What I mean is that you will soon become a defendant.

I believe in you, Prosecutor.

That you believe me.

Please believe me. You are the only hope I have at the moment.

I'm so nervous, what should I do?

Defendant Eun Bong Hee held a grudge against the victim Jang Hee Joon, who was her ex-boyfriend, due to their breakup.

On May 11, 2015, she lured the victim to the apartment in which she resided.

And with a sharp weapon, she brutally murdered him.

According to the Criminal Law Article 250, the defendant Eun Bong Hee

is charged with the crime of murder.

Does the defense lawyer acknowledge that these allegations are facts?

No, we deny the truth of these allegations.

The defendant, Eun Bong Hee, pleads not guilty.

Witness, you saw that the defendant threatened to kill Jang Hee Joon, is that right?

Yes, I heard and saw it with my own ears and eyes, even several times.

And it's not just me, but many trainees saw too.

Jerk, son of a b**ch, I was going to dump him first!

I will make sure to kill you, Jang Hee Joon.

- It's good. - Yeah.

"I'm going to die of hunger." "I'm so sad I could die." Aren't these commonly used expressions?

Would everyone that has said this really die?

"I'm going to kill you" is the same thing, isn't it?

Eun Bong Hee clearly said it seriously though.

She wasn't just joking.

The moment she spit those words out, Eun Bong Hee became

a potential murderer, in my opinion.

But we have testimony that you, witness Na Ji Hae, also said something like this at the police station.

Pardon?

Let me go! I'm going to kill her!

I'm going to kill her!

Oh, that—

You had intent, and it wasn't a joke.

Then does that mean you, witness, are a potential murderer, too?

She would sing like weird songs about curses and grudges, wherever she went.

She even sang songs that she changed lyrics.

Yes, for example?

Oh right now? Um, I'll try.

♪ The way I look now, as I curse you

♪ Remember, because I will kill you

Witness, after Eun Bong Hee broke up with Jang Hee Joon,

you asked Defendant Eun Bong Hee to go out with you.

Oh, that was just a joke.

Eun Bong Hee, should I just date you? How about that?

You asked her about three times, and she refused you every time, right?

Yes, that may be true, but...

If you really thought Eun Bong Hee was someone who would kill a person,

would you have asked to date her?

Witness, perhaps you hold a grudge against the defendant because she refused to date you.

So you're testifying against her?

No—

Can I get witness protection?

The fact that I said I wanted to get rid of victim Jang Hee Joon

and that I cursed him is true.

But that was just anger I felt in the moment.

I didn't really want to kill him.

If I really had plans to kill him,

would I have really gone around singing and making noise about it everywhere?

People don't act out every single thought they have.

Honestly, whoever has lived must have thought, at least once,

of wanting to kill their husband or boyfriend.

What are you doing?!!

Or maybe not?

Yes, this is urgent news.

She could kill him, couldn't she? What a shameless defendant!

Have you ever seen a more obvious culprit? "Out of anger..." a bizarre murder of a boyfriend

The trial of the national murderess, Eun Bong Hee, has started this afternoon.

National Murderess:"Everyone wants to kill at least once... "

What did she say so everybody talks about it?

"Honestly, whoever has lived must have thought, at least once,

of wanting to kill their husband or boyfriend."

It was a statement that reminded us of a psychopath.

Quite shameless, isn't it? Oh my, men of Korea!

Beware of your wives and girlfriends!

- Are the results out? - Yeah.

Yes, the results of those weapons you waited for.

Anything you want to comment?

How do you feel about the trial?

What do you think?

Give a comment.

Trial in progress

Your Honor, I will submit an additional evidence.

I do not understand why you're submitting additional evidence when you finished examining the defendant.

This evidence is the weapon found at the murder scene, the suspect's address on May 15, 15 o'clock.

To determine if this weapon

was the right one used on stabbing the victim Jang Hee Joon,

we needed the precise tests on this and the results of tests

have only been released last night. I apologize for the delay of submitting the evidence unintentionally.

Your Honor, according to the record, the police and prosecutor in a joint search

completed the investigation of the crime scene several times. Of course, the weapon was not discovered.

But it doesn't make sense for the weapon to suddenly appear like this a few days later.

I ask you not to take this evidence into consideration.

For now, we will admit it into evidence, but let's also hear from the forensic medical doctor as well.

The stab wound found on the victim Jang Hee Joon's body

and the shape of the weapon is a perfect match, is that right?

Yes. Looking at the length and depth of the wounds, we can determine the characteristics of the murder weapon.

It seems to match the one presented as evidence.

Now a weapon that hasn't been found although they searched the scene several times suddenly appeared.

Don't you think it's a bit suspicious?

Alright. What if, by chance,

there is any possibility that the Jang Hee Joon's blood on the weapon could be fabricated?

For example, taking the blood found on the victim's clothes or personal items, and putting it on the weapon.

I cannot tell you that it is impossible in a scientific sense,

but I also can't confirm that as a fact, either.

So you're saying it's possible.

That is all.

Prosecution, please present your closing argument.

Yes.

Defendant Eun Bong Hee, on May 11, 2015, in an apartment in Gyeonggi-do, Goyang-si where she lived,

lured the victim Jang Hee Joon there

and has been charged with murdering him.

My father lost his only sibling, his older sister, to a crime.

Hey! Who told you that you could wear Dad's prosecutor outfit? Hands up.

My father, for whom becoming a prosecutor was natural,

avoided political advancement or higher positions that others always talked about,

and only focused on criminal work and fought crime.

That father was my hero.

For my father, who became a sacrificial lamb of crime, like his sister,

I wanted to fulfill his unfinished dream.

I wanted to be like my father,

to fight crime and catch every criminal I could,

and one day die as a prosecutor. But then...

The prosecution's recommended sentence for the defendant.

Because the murder was premeditated, and that she was not credible throughout the trial and has therefore not repented for her crime,

the bereaved family of the victim requests a harsh sentence. In light of all these factors

per Criminal Code Article 250, for the crime of murder

I request a sentence of 15 years.

Hurry get a confession and indict her.

If you don't succeed in indicting and giving her the maximum punishment, you'll be removed from your position.

You believe in me, right? I know that you believe me.

You're my only hope right now.

We believe that the claims of the prosecution that the victim died because of the defendant's actions

are based not on concrete evidence, but on pure speculation—

Prosecutor. Do you know that this is the defense's closing argument? Why would you—

Your Honor.

I want to add another piece of evidence.

Did you just say you want to add evidence?

Yes.

Actually, another weapon has been discovered.

This is another weapon that was discovered the same day in another place.

Both these weapons have the blood of the victim, Jang Hee Joon, on them.

As you see, we have a map of the place where the other weapon was found.

It was around 7 kilometers away from the scene.

Upon evaluating the time of the crime and the response time of emergency services,

to claim that the defendant, Eun Bong Hee, murdered the victim

and went there to discard this weapon, the distance is too far to possibly do that.

It means that unless there was another accomplice who could discard the weapon far away,

or unless the defendant was a superhero who could teleport,

she cannot be the perpetrator.

But why would you present this evidence just now, Prosecutor?

I purposefully withheld it,

because my personal success seemed more important than the truth.

The fact that there are two weapons proves that one of them exists solely for the purpose of framing.

This makes both weapons inadmissible under the rules of evidence.

So this prosecutor, according to Criminal Procedure Article 255

withdraws the indictment.

I don't get it. So what'll happen to my Bong Hee?

What is he saying? What does this mean?

The prosecutor just dug his own grave,

- and the defendant will be released. - What?

That prosecutor sabotaged himself

and the defendant, Eun Bong Hee, should be released.

So she can go home.

Oh, my world! Oh, thank you!

There's nothing you need to thank me for.

He's out!

Isn't it very unusual to withdraw an indictment right before the verdict?

Did you receive an approval?

What about a settlement with Chief Prosecutor Jang?

Did you act against your organization?

Please give us a comment.

Hey! Hey!

Tell us how you feel!

I'm sorry. We'll do an interview later.

What do you think about it?

- I am sorry. - Please give us a comment. Please.

Look over here.

Did you predict this would happen this way? Please tell us.

How do you feel right now?

Please look over here!

What will the consequence be?

Please say something.

Bong Hee. Let's go now.

Please say something!

Please say something.

What were the results?

It's all right.

You didn't have to take it to that extent.

I guess not.

Even if she was found innocent, you were afraid that the prosecutor's office would appeal the decision, right?

Who knows?

So they won't appeal the decision?

If the prosecutor withdraws the indictment, they can't indict me again.

unless they find more critical evidence regarding this crime.

Tell me so I can understand.

Basically, they must find solid evidence that I am the culprit.

Only then can they arrest me again.

That's a relief. It has to be like that of course!

The prosecutor made a huge sacrifice for me.

What kind of relationship do you have with her to do that?

Fate.

Fate?

No Ji Wook is my fate. An ill fate! Mortal enemy from a past life. I agree. (he added)

No Ji Wook was annoying again today. But he was cool. I agree. (he added)

Your conscience has disappointed me, Prosecutor.

I thought you would be good at avoiding things like truth.

Could you be more disappointed than I am? Prosecutor No Ji Wook

I'm disappointed in my integrity, too.

Prosecutor Oath

Rule and the Right Path Restraint and Dignity

I'm leaving.

I, who was hurt by a man...

I thought I could never trust in anyone again...

But in the end, I ended up trusting and liking someone.

That man. The person who saved me.

I think we are fated, after all.

I think so too! That we are fated—

An ill-fate.

So, don't show up in front of me.
