To Prosecutor No Ji Wook.

Episode 3

I've learned so many new things these past two months.

I've learned about the living spirit of justice, the courage needed to kindle that spirit soundly,

and the wisdom to apply to actual work...

Bullsh*t.

Even if I were to fib, I should do it conscientiously.

I exaggerated way too much.

I couldn't stand you again today, No Ji Wook...

Right. He is so intolerable.

Really he's intolerable.

Do you know singing a jingle about revenge is not revenge on your ex?

Just ignore him.

Become more awesome, and just live well.

However, he's handsome.

What the? I must be crazy!

I said he's handsome?

À vous, femmes. C'est rien (To you, women. It's nothing.)

Stay put, Sweetheart.

Avec moi (with me).

Then, please wait. (French and Korean?)

Give me a small kiss, Sweetheart.

What is this? Why can't I remember what's next?

Why did my memory stop in the middle?

Whoa, I'm feeling hot. So hot.

For everything there is a cause and effect.

Everyone knows that. The problem is...

Aiyoo, so refreshing.

Things started to happen here.

Sometimes, we can't find the cause.

There's certainly something going on.

But you can't always figure out why it happens.

Just like me now.

Is she already sleeping?

Got you, Eun Bong Hee. Didn't even change your passcode.

Even if you deny it, you're subconsciously waiting for me.

Come on, baby.

Beer. Beer.

The effect of this unknown cause that approached me.

A dreadful and cruel accident.

Let go of him!

Okay, Miss Eun Bong Hee. Let's recapitulate.

So even though you knew it would be dark because of the power outage,

why did you go to the convenience store to buy beer...

If you don't come back to your senses, you'll be screwed.

If an accident already happened, you should handle after-accident care well. The first response is important.

Get back to your senses.

Oh!

Right now, I'm not a reference witness but the main suspect, right?

Well, what I'm saying is that... let's investigate openly as both sides, not just pointing you out as one side.

Yes, yes, detectives.

Usually, the likelihood of someone close to the victim, or the first one to find the victim, being the perpetrator is very high.

And with me being near the scene as well as wearing these clothes, I know I look like a murderer.

- So you're admitting to it. - I said I look like one, not that I am one.

Okay, please listen to me.

If you insist on the wrong suspect, the first investigation will only become a mess.

The real culprit is someone else and you should focus on finding him,

but if you're fixating on someone innocent like me, what will happen to the real killer?

He'll just disappear. The witnesses, the evidence, they'll all disappear.

Out of my way!

So you finally killed him!

Who are you? Who...

Ah... You're the last one he contacted.

Why did you kill him?

Hey... It's... not me.

Fine, Hee Joon dumped you. Is it a reason to kill him?

- I said it wasn't me. - You even sang it, that you would get rid of him.

Do you think only one or two witnesses saw you singing? Should I call all our trainee-mates?

It's j-just that I s-said it verbally. Verbally.

You've got to be kidding me. Bring him back. Bring him back, you bad wench!

Don't be like this.

I will kill you. I will kill you!

I-I-I truly didn't do it!

It's really not me, I swear!

I'll kill you!

No. If I could give just one piece of advice to my past self,

it would be this: Eun Bong Hee, be careful with men. (Warning Handed Over; Crime: Murder; Suspect's Name: Eun Bong Hee; Date:5/11/2017; Height: 165 cm)

They only complicate things.

Why are you saying to be careful?

On Women. If a woman meets the wrong man or vice versa,

their lives can be ruined in just one moment.

I can see exactly one such relationship in your future.

If you meet her, it will be big trouble.

A woman who can turn your life topsy-turvy.

Who is that girl?

You slept exactly seventeen minutes.

You're not fighting criminals, you're fighting insomnia.

Ugh, if someone would just arrive and help me sleep well,

I might just sell them my body and soul.

This can happen if your bed is too spacious.

Maybe if you found a good person, you might sleep well. Yoo hoo!

What woman, I instead dreamt of a woman I shouldn't meet.

- A woman you shouldn't meet? - Yeah.

When I was little, there was a fake Buddhist monk out of the heretic religious order, in my neighborhood.

He said some absolute nonsense at that time.

I completely forgot about it but he appeared in my dream.

What did he say? Something about a woman I shouldn't meet in my life—

Eun Bong Hee.

- Eun Bong Hee? - The woman he told you not to meet was Eun Bong Hee?

He already told you that fortune when you were young?

So late.

Yeah?

Well... Prosecutor...

What is it? Say it quickly. Get to the point, concisely.

I have been arrested without a warrant.

Exigent arrest? How much did you drink?

I haven't drunk anything.

You didn't drink but it was an exigent arrest? Was it for assault?

- No. - Larceny?

- By no means. - Public disturbance?

- Not really. - Then just what exactly?

It is for murder.

Ah, really.

What do I do?

Isn't that Chief Prosecutor Jang Moo Yeong?

You know, from Seonho District Prosecutor's Office.

Did you say a suspect was arrested without a warrant?

Hey, Eun Bong Hee you are really...

Hey, why in the world?!

Come here!

You're dead.

Hey!

I think I caused a problem, but...

It's not that you did it. What? You are saying you think you might've caused a problem, huh?

I knew up to that something was wrong.

But I don't know just what wrong I have done.

Lift your chin.

- I don't want to. But why? - Show me your shameless face. Lift your chin!

Sheesh!

Even though it wasn't intentional, I caused an accident anyhow.

So let's say it's my fault for that. But all I did was

go out to buy beer in the middle of night because I was thirsty.

I came back and all of this happened.

I don't know why in the world this happened.

I don't feel it's real and I'm scared,

but I have no one else to rely on but you.

- Why do you rely on me? Don't. - I will.

I'll rely on you.

There isn't anyone else but you who knows the laws and has power around me.

- Change your clothes first. - What?

I'm telling you to wash up.

You need to submit your clothes as evidence. Investigator Bang will give you some clothes to change into.

Start off by washing up.

Finally, I realize it's real.

Hee Joon was dead.

Right, I really liked you.

Even though you betrayed, dumped, and hurt me,

I never really wished anything bad would happen to you.

Please rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are truly with you.

But even though I pray for you,

why the heck, out of all houses did you die in MY house?

In this wide world, why did you have to die in my house out of all houses?

Were you planning to screw me over that much until your end?

What did I ever do wrong to you? You bad bastard!

I'm sorry that I cussed at you.

That's why you shouldn't die.

Why did you die?

You shouldn't die.

On to the next news. The Judicial Research and Training Institute, a bastion of justice, has been the scene of a murder

leaving the nation in shock, even more so because the victim is the chief prosecutor's son.

Suspect Ms. Eun who was arrested without warrant couldn't accept the fact that she parted with the victim, Mr. Jang.

So she kept stalking and threatening victimJang Doe—

Yes, this is the prosecutor's office.

Pardon?

The chief prosecutor's office?

My negative hunches generally hit right on target.

That he was chosen as the worst prosecutor by the lawyers,

saying in a different way, the defendants and lawyers hate him,

means he is the best prosecutor to a victim, Chief Prosecutor.

Yes, that's correct. When it comes to success in violent criminal cases, Prosecutor No is the best.

He's the best at getting confessions and has the greatest success rate.

Investigate this case fairly.

Fulfill justice.

The worst case scenario I could have imagined.

Seonho District Prosecutor's Office

Ministry of Justice

She's coming. Shoot that!

She's going out, she's going out. Here! Take pictures of her!

- Why did you kill him? - Was it murder or manslaughter?

- Do you admit to the crime? - Can you just say whether you killed him or not?

- Did you kill him because he wanted to break up with you? - Please get your hair out of your face!

- Wow. Look at her.- Take off the mask!

Please say something!

Take a picture! Take a picture!

I clearly told you not to appear before me as a suspect.

I...

I said first that I am a merciless prosecutor.

Well. Let's start.

Miss Eun Bong Hee, you are currently being investigated in the case of Jang Hee Joon's murder.

You have the right to refuse to answer questions which will incriminate you.

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.

After losing your job, you couldn't even be a lawyer because you'd be a target.

Even if you're lucky enough to keep your job, you'll work in the boonies (countryside) until you die.

Do you acknowledge that all the circumstances are pointing at you?

This is the statement from the part-timer at the store you claim to have visited that night.

He remembers there was a customer that night, but not what her face looked like.

He says it doesn't look like he met you.

Excuse me. I don't hear you well.

There was a power outage that night, and the surveillance cameras were out of order as well.

This means that nothing can prove your insistence that you left your home in the middle of the night.

Do you still not hear it?

Speaking correctly, I can't see.

What?

I'm not allowed to wear my contact lenses, and as for my glasses, some reporter bastard...

Some reporter broke them, so I can't see well now.

And weirdly enough, if I don't see well, it seems I can't hear that well either

because I don't know what expression you have.

Because I can't quite understand what you're thinking or feeling.

So what?

Um...

I know your circumstances very well.

I know well that bastard Jang Hee Joon cheated on you first.

And I know all too well how you must've felt that night.

- So what I'm saying is— - I'm not buying it.

This isn't the first time I've seen you interrogate someone.

It's conciliation strategy by giving them candy and comforting them.

Apart from the paramedics or police who arrived first at the scene,

there was no one else's footprints or DNA at the scene

but only yours and that of the victim Jang Hee Joon!

Still not you, huh?

I'm not buying that either.

So you aren't going to buy into this. Damn.

Anyway, you'll be still indicted. You have plenty of motive and no alibi.

Furthermore, the murder place is your house and no other suspect exists. That should be enough, right?

But still, I really didn't do it.

- I don't care about that. - What?

Guilty or not, you'll get the longest sentence, Eun Bong Hee.

That way my life won't be turned topsy-turvy.

You believe me, don't you? I believe that you

will believe me. You're on my side. That right now, you're the only lifeline I can hang onto.

I can see there is a woman that is destined for you.

If you meet her, it'll be big trouble.

A woman that can turn your life topsy-turvy.

- I'm getting primitive. - Pardon?

I'm getting primitive because I want to believe that phony monk because of you.

Who is that woman?

Once you meet her, you'll naturally know, "So it's that woman!"

He told me I would know once I met her.

I understand now.

Indeed,

it is you, Eun Bong Hee.

I am sure I have seen her somewhere.

I've seen her in person.

She has killer looks. She really looks tough.

Is that so?

Yeah, she has the most killer looks.

By the way, did they pick a lawyer?

Chief Prosecutor Jang's son is the victim. Who would want to be a lawyer in that case?

If someone wanted to be, he'd turn all of the prosecutors into his enemies.

You think a public defender will take care of her case, don't you?

Even from public defenders, the court will probably appoint the worst and least experienced one.

What?

From Ji Wook—

Something happened to him? What?

I got a call from him.

"My Ji Wook"

But?

I got a call from Ji Wook. Do you know how long it has been?

Hello. Yeah. Okay.

Then I will ask you for a favor. Okay.

You even called Lawyer Ji whom you don't like so much.

God dammit. Bugs!

I feel like bugs are crawling all over me.

Let's go.

Good thing I didn't throw them out. How did you find them?

It's not like they have legs. Things are meant to be found when looked for.

Maybe I should've gotten you prettier, new glasses.

I'm only using them for a little while anyway. No need to waste money.

Of course. Of course. You will come out soon.

I think of the past as I look at these.

My daughter had a hard time studying.

And you had such a hard time supporting me.

Even if you don't get out, don't worry about Mom.

It's not the first time, your dad...

Is the food edible?

It is tiring to do massage, right?

What do you mean it's tiring? Everyone in the world lives by working like this.

Why are you using the pain relief patches so sparsely? It's not like they cost a lot.

Hey, I get more use out of them if I do this. I can't be wasteful.

Are your cellmates okay?

There aren't any bullies, right?

Mom, I am the leader. Cell leader.

- You are? - Yeah.

There is no one who got charged with murder except me.

They're in here for larceny, embezzlement, fraud, stuff like that.

I'm the only murder suspect. Everyone is afraid of me.

It is good.

Time is up.

Why so short, time is busy by its own self?

Mom. You don't need to come tomorrow. Understand?

Don't worry about Mom and do what they say. Be strong, my daughter.

Fighting.

I will leave. Go.

Go.

Why isn't she coming?

Are-Are-Are you okay?

We bumped into each other again.

I am really sorry.

My head's too smart so it's okay for some of my brain cells to die.

Yes.

Your application for a court-appointed attorney will be rejected because I decided to represent you.

I am sorry.

Why on earth?

Your glasses. I am not saying your glasses are funny looking,

but they have the effect of softening your sinister countenance.

It's nice. It's a good strategy.

Thank you.

No, I am rather grateful.

What are you grateful for?

Thanks to you, Ji Wook looked for me.

- Excuse me? - How are you related to Ji Wook?

He was my preceptor prosecutor and he's currently investigating me.

Not like that. Isn't there any other relationship?

Lawyer, don't you have anything you want to ask about me?

I do. Did you kill Jang Hee Joon?

No.

That's all I need to know.

This CCTV is broken.

And this area is being redeveloped so there are a lot of vacant houses.

And there was the power outage on that day too.

I probably shouldn't say this, but this place seems like a good place for a murder to happen.

I don't know about that.

But how should I put this? It looks like the kind of place Eun Bong Hee would live in.

How about the search for the weapon?

We have extensively searched for it around here. But nothing yet.

What about other areas?

We've contacted multiple precincts around Seoul and Gyeonggi-do.

If they find a weapon 13 cm long and 3.5 cm wide, contact us immediately.

Yes, you did well.

I did, right? What is the reason to go this far?

Just increasing the possibilities.

Like Eun Bong Hee said, the possibility of some other killer. I'm just saying, what if.

How nice would it be if that "what if" were true?

Was it half past midnight?

I felt a little feverish without reason, so I opened the window and looked outside,

but I couldn't see much because I didn't have my glasses.

It was just refreshing.

If someone witnessed something and didn't even know she did,

maybe that's why a witness...

No way.

Investigator, you have checked out any accident or incident that happened around here on that day, haven't you?

Of course. As you ordered, I checked all of the sex offenders and the previous criminals right away.

But nothing wrong was found.

Just in case, please check the whereabouts of the apartment residents around here again.

Yes.

Whoever the killer might've been, he must've come from outside and stabbed him.

I think I have seen her somewhere.

Such a common-looking face.

I'm feeling a bit weird.

Since I'm investigating the place of someone I know, it feels like snooping.

Good job, Eun Bong Hee! Be careful of No Ji Wook!

NO JI WOOK!I couldn't stand you again today, No Ji Wook...

What is that?

Nothing.

Why the handshake? Fighting!

Day 1 of training rotation: Met the subway pervert again! O.M.G.! He is my preceptor prosecutor!

I couldn't stand you again today, No Ji Wook..

When you look at this, it seems she wanted to get rid of you more than Jang Hee Joon.

Hello. Yes, it is me.

Please say it.

Yes?

They say the weapon has been found.

Around 7 kilometers from the scene,

a citizen out for a walk found and reported it.

What is this?

13 cm long, 3.5cm wide blade.

It perfectly matches the description for Jang Hee Joon's murder weapon.

Oh?

It must look exactly like this.
