Original subtitles

There was one other person.

Was it Jang Hee Joon? Um... I never intended to kill him.

It was just in the moment... when I inadvertently stabbed him with a knife. But then he fell to the floor and sobbed.

"Dad, Dad, save me."

"Dad, help me. Oh, I'm so scared."

Episode 37

I'm in charge of personnel for the Department of Justice prosecution division.

I'm letting you know that you've been successfully appointed as a prosecutor.

- Yes, Prosecutor Cha? - Jeong Hyeon Soo confessed. I called to tell you that.

Wait, what? Jeong Hyeon Soo confessed?

Yes. Well, not all, but the water tank cases and the Jang Hee Joon murder case. Just those three cases.

- Are you listening? - By any chance, was Chief Prosecutor Jang Moo Yeong with you when Jeong Hyeon Soo confessed?

He was probably outside listening in on the interrogation.

Where is Jang Moo Yeong? And how about Jeong Hyeon Soo?

- Oh, hey, you're here. - Has something happened?

I need to confirm something at the Supreme Prosecutor's Office.

I have something that I find suspicious too.

I'm sorry.

- The chief prosecutor apologized? - It's strange, right?

Yes, very. You know, the reason why I'm going to check something is because of Chief Prosecutor.

Let me go with you, then.

Alright. Let's go.

At Court

Please check the chief prosecutor's parking space and the entrance to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office first.

Okay.

Hold on a second.

Yes? Have you met the prison guard who transported Jeong Hyeon Soo?

About an hour earlier, someone took him as the chief prosecutor had ordered.

- Can you show me the screen from an hour earlier? - Yes.

Hold on.

Right there.

Get off.

Okay, I got it. Thanks, Prosecutor Cha. Yes.

What did she say?

She said that Chief Prosecutor Jang Moo Yeong and Jeong Hyeon Soo both disappeared.

As expected. So it's correct to say that the chief prosecutor took Jeong Hyeon Soo and disappeared.

Do you think he's trying to get personal revenge?

In my opinion, probably.

Ah, where would the chief prosecutor have gone with Jeong Hyeon Soo?

So we have no idea where they went?

Nope. The chief prosecutor's cellphone is turned off.

We're tracking the location of the driver's cellphone, so wouldn't something come up?

If I were in his shoes, where would I have gone?

Wha... What are you doing, all of a sudden?

I can think better like this.

Really? Are you sure? I feel like it'll have the opposite effect.

Oh, maybe...

This is really just maybe, but the location where Hee Joon was murdered, the house that I used to live in,

it's totally vacant since it's being redeveloped. Could they have gone there?

Yes, Prosecutor Cha. Did you get a location?

You bastard!

Right here... is the place where my son Hee Joon was lying.

This is the place where you horrifically murdered my innocent son!

- What do you mean he's innocent? - What?

Your son may be innocent. But not you.

What are you talking about?

Because of you... So...

Because of you, So Yeong died.

Because of you, I became like this.

Because you set free those guys, those bastards, who crushed So Yeong. Do you know that?

It was pure coincidence that I stabbed your son. But...

Because the murder happened at the Judicial Research and Training Institute where law and justice should be upheld,

it has shocked the entire nation.

And even more, the fact that the victim is the current chief prosecutor's son is causing a greater shock.

It is said that Chief Prosecutor Jang Moo Yeong normally hid the fact that his son was a student at a Judicial Research & Training Institute.

This was because he tried to avoid his son being treated with possible favoritism but with fairness.

Eun, who was arrested without warrant, couldn't accept the break up with Jang...

Jang Moo Yeong?

Jang Moo Yeong.

The son of the person who caused So Yeong to die thirteen years ago...

I...

I...

thought about it, but it turns out that killing your son was not a coincidence, but a fair revenge.

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending like you don't remember. I'm going to vomit.

Should I make you remember?

Thirteen years ago, there was a girl.

But that girl was very hurt because of beast-like bastards,

and you were the prosecutor in charge of that case.

And you let those punks go scot-free as if it was nothing, and you covered up that entire case.

Do you remember that?

You weren't on the side of the girl, who was hurt and was in pain.

You were on the side of those monsters and their parents.

You still don't remember? Huh?

You still don't remember? Huh?!!

Chief Prosecutor.

Bong Hee, I will leave this up to you.

Yes, sure.

Chief Prosecutor, are you okay?

Jeong Hyeon Soo. Jeong Hyeon Soo!

Hey, Jeong Hyeon Soo!

Hey, Jeong Hyeon Soo! Hey!

Why are you doing this to me? Huh? Is it because of that stab?

You're alive though. Even that stupid Mr. Bang is alive too so why are you doing this, geesh?

- What's the problem? - I'm the problem, I am.

I am. I let a trashy guy like Jeong Hyeon Soo free.

So I should be the one to fix it. Don't you think so?

You try to escape thousands of times

and I will catch you thousands of times as well.

You are so damn intense, Bro.

Hey, but are you sure you'll be alright, No Ji Wook?

It looks like the hole in your stomach hasn't healed yet.

Do you think you'll be alright?

You okay with this?

- Are you okay? - Jang Hyeon Soo, Jang Hyeon Soo, Jang...

You did?

So I arrest you without a warrant for arresting someone unlawfully and imprisoning him. Also for attempted murder.

Keep up the good work.

This is where the whole Jeong Hyeon Soo case began.

And this is where we finish up the case too.

I know, right?

Shall we go have a chat somewhere?

I thought about the issue regarding my dad

but I think I was in the wrong. I was too cruel.

The bad one was not you,

but Chief Prosecutor Jang Moo Yeong, who brainwashed and used a young No Ji Wook.

You're also a victim.

I knew that but I still took it out on you. I'm so sorry.

No, you don't have to be sorry.

It's because your father saved my life.

And after he saved me

he was going to save my parents lives too but it didn't go so well.

That's nobody's fault.

I am so indebted to you anyway.

I made you lose your position as a prosecutor, then brought Jeong Hyeon Soo into your life too. You also got stabbed.

You hired me, fed me, and gave me shelter.

Wow, it's so endless.

So, let's call it even.

Let's... just go back to the time where nothing happened, the beginning, when we met.

I like it.

Okay. Let's do that.

Mhm. Okay.

Prosecutor No Ji Wook

Congratulations on your first day of work, Prosecutor No.

Wow. Thank you all for coming...

but there's not a single person I want to see.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor, I told you we shouldn't come.

Ah. I forgot what kind of punk he was...

I know. We even handed over Jeong Hyeon Soo's case to him.

So, you rascal, who's the person you want to see?

Wow, I can't decide which of the two I should see first.

- I'm fine, so please stay outside. - Yes.

Maintaining your case as your lawyer, and then as your prosecutor,

wow. Our connection runs really deep.

You like it a lot.

You must like it. I don't like it.

Well, you should get used to it. There'll be about a thousand things you won't like in the future.

There's such a thing as procedure here, so let's start with the most obvious thing.

Name Jeong Hyeon Soo. You are being interrogated on charge of escaping, the attempted murder of Bang Eun Ho,

and the murders of Jang Hee Joon, Yang Jin Ho, and Lee Jae Ho.

- Do you know this? - No, I don't.

Jeong Hyeon Soo, you have the right to refuse to answer—

I have the right to refuse to answer and appoint an attorney.

Isn't that right?

Wow, you know so well. You're an expert.

I know that you confessed everything to Prosecutor Cha before the case was handed over to me.

What? Me?

You're saying I did that?

First of all, I killed all of them.

Who should I start with?

Oh, since we got to know each other during Chef Yang Jin Ho's case, I'll start there.

No, no, no. Soopa Apartment.

There's only one person in the water tank that was identified, right?

Should I tell you who the other person is?

There's no reason that I shouldn't accept that offer.

His name is Seong Jae Hyeon. He graduated from the same high school as Yang Jin Ho. You should check that.

Why? I guess that you still can't remember too well, Jeong Hyeon Soo.

Aigoo, I was in a vehicular accident, so my memory flashes back and forth.

In legal terms, they call things like this feeble-minded or not of sound mind.

- I don't know if you're aware of this— - The identities of corpses in the water tank that no one else knew about,

only you knew about it, Jeong Hyeon Soo. How would you explain this?

Hmm. I see.

I think I heard it while walking past someone.

Maybe I picked it up in the bathroom or something? I think so.

Oh, how scary.

Jeong Hyeon Soo.

Jeong Hyeon Soo, hm?

Jeong Hyeon Soo. You're cool. Your hair is up so prettily.

Do we have a lot of time? Right. We do.

Let's do this until the end.

I will make you remember. Understand?

Have you been well?

Well... it's as you see.

What about you, Lawyer Ji?

Me? Well...

I guess not so good.

So, what about you, Lawyer Eun?

Everything is uncertain.

You're talking about Wook.

So what about your feelings? Are they uncertain, too?

Don't make it complicated. Just follow your heart, Lawyer Eun.

Is that what you're doing, Lawyer Ji?

Yes. By following my heart, I keep falling for one person my whole life

over and over again.

7th Floor: Chief Prosecutor's Office 6th Floor: Crime 1 Division Chief Prosecutor's Office

Me too, Lawyer Ji.

I think it's the same for me, too.

I keep falling and falling again.

Oh, what brings you here?

What do you mean? I came to work.

My client is being questioned as the victim.

Oh, really? What kind of case is it? Who's the prosecutor in charge?

I'll do my job on my own.

And I can't speak freely due to my client's privacy.

Okay. Wow, you seem like a real lawyer now.

I am a real lawyer, actually.

Okay, then get to work.

Yes. You too, Lawye-...

You too, Prosecutor.

Eun Bong Hee.

Let's catch Jeong Hyeon Soo together.

Putting aside the fact that I'm a prosecutor and you're a lawyer,

let's catch Jeong Hyeon Soo together.

Your help... No, I need everyone's help.

Bang, are you returning to the Seonho District Prosecutors' Office too?

Yes. Whenever there's a vacancy, the Prosecutor's Office does special recruitments from time to time.

Attorney No, I mean, Prosecutor No found his rightful place, so I need to find mine, too.

Twenty percent. I'll increase your pay by 20%.

I'm not someone that's influenced by money. Fifty percent.

Hey, you thief!

- Then 40? - Thirty.

Please stop trying to tempt Investigator Bang,

and don't interrupt the meeting either! Let's focus! Focus, huh?

CEO, focus!

I know. We're here because of Jeong Hyeon Soo, but we keep going off-topic, thanks to CEO Byeon.

Now you're telling me off, too!

Right now, Jeong Hyeon Soo is in a state of having retracted his confession.

We have evidence. There's evidence, you rascal.

Right. There's the weapon that I found at Jeong Hyeon Soo's house.

We're throwing out that evidence.

Why?

That was manipulated. In other words,

it's illegal evidence, so all the evidence collected from there is fruit of the poisonous tree.

"Fruit of the poisonous tree" -- any evidence derived from illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible at court.

Is there no other evidence?

Even if he hadn't retracted his confession,

if there is no corroborative evidence, his guilt cannot be established from his confession alone.

Hey, hey, hey! But we can establish a case of attempted murder!

You two almost died because of Jeong Hyeon Soo.

Punishment for attempted murder is too lenient.

Or he could get a stay of execution (delay in carrying out court order).

And he'll claim temporary insanity or being unfit for trial.

It makes me so angry.

So we have to find as much information as we can about Jeong Hyeon Soo.

We need to dig deeper into his past, and we also need to catch the hit-and-run that struck him.

Oh, I'm already looking into it.

It's one of the people on the list that I got from Lawyer Ji.

His name is Min Yeong Hoon. He's on the run, but we know about his secret mistress

and have people on a stakeout who are focused on that fact, so we should hear about an arrest soon.

Okay, everyone. Let's all work harder.

It feels like it's been a while.

Oh, really? Not really. It hasn't even been a few days.

Really? Yeah? Maybe it's just how I've been feeling then?

Oh, I'll pour it for y—

No, it's okay. I'll pour myself a drink.

Oh, o-okay.

I'll get going.

Okay.

Attorney No Ji Wook

Yes, hello?

Yes.

Why? Aish.

Yes, I understand. Thank you. Goodbye.

I found him. The officer who was in charge of the case at the time.

Really? Wow. Investigator Bang, you're the best.

I didn't work that hard.

Maybe I just went through several dozens of people?

Do you remember this female high school student?

You were the detective in charge of this case at the time.

I do remember, but I don't want to.

Why, Detective?

I arrested those bad bastards and sent them to the prosecution office.

But the case was disposed of as non-indictment. (The prosecutor doesn't indict and abandons prosecution).

Non-indictment?

Can we learn who the prosecutor in charge of this case was?

Are you doing okay?

Just tell me what you want.

Yes. I will.

I'm asking you to apologize again.

Not like last time when you lazily apologized while passing by.

I'm asking you for a proper apology.

Even though you're wearing that and sitting there,

I don't feel bad at all.

When I think about the things that you've done to me, my father, and young, little No Ji Wook,

I think that this punishment is too light for you.

Will an apology be sufficient?

It is, but I won't accept just words.

I heard you were the prosecutor-in-charge of a past case involving Jeong Hyeon Soo.

You quite easily released the perpetrators of group sexual assault.

Please tell me about that.
