(Episode 5)

(Busan District Court)

I thought things were over for Mayor Kang Chul Woo,

but there's Jo Ki Soo behind him too.

They must be having a blast.

What do we do now? I think they've hidden the murders.

Stop asking me.

Do what you've been doing.

It's like I'm looking for a ring lost five years ago at the beach.

The Samjung trio must've seen the real murderers too.

- What do you mean? - Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk...

took the murderers to see the trio.

You're the best!

Soo Chul,

you've seen the murderers, right?

The records say that you've met.

What did you just say? Is that true?

How did you become the queen of exclusive news?

Bo Hyun lets me in on a lot of exclusive information.

Any news reporter would want to take that on.

So, why would she keep doing that?

- You have to see what you can't! - But I can't see it.

Do you really want to end your career while cleaning dog poop?

How far have you exposed us?

I only told her that you've been working at a tuna factory.

That's all you've done.

- What about Attorney Park? - There wasn't much to tell...

It's an important matter,

so keep a close eye on Lawyer Park and the progress.

Report to me both in the morning and the evening.

Don't just assume. I'm not the type to blow covers!

See what you can't see, and hear what you can't hear.

That's the truth.

It's weird for you to say something so true and inspiring.

Attorney Park said that. Remember!

Is he watching me?

He's calling just as I said his name.

- Hello? - Sang Hyun knows their faces!

I'm going to look for the murderers some more,

so please go and meet Sang Hyun.

Sang Hyun knows the culprit...

He threw away 2.8 million dollars because he couldn't write his name.

Do you really think he'd remember their faces?

It's odd that he hasn't said anything about that all along.

Something is a little fishy.

- What about Mr. Kang Sang Hyun? - I'm not telling you.

Come on. You're really going to do this?

Every reporter would go for exclusive news, wouldn't they?

I'm leaving now.

Mr. Park!

Your shoes.

Don't forget that I got you those. Betrayal means death!

Don't think.

Don't worry.

Don't wander off. Don't resist.

- Just keep pushing forward. - Just keep pushing forward.

Who knows?

If the culprits are like me, they might be moved by your innocence.

Charge!

You don't have much at your home.

Yes.

Because I live alone.

About the signing...

We've come so far. Let's just finish it up.

- Please have a seat. - You realize how much this is?

Attorney Park is tired, and so am I.

Just draw exactly this.

I won't draw it.

Sang Hyun, it's 2.8 million dollars. It's a whopping 2.8 million dollars.

I don't like it!

I'm sorry. I apologize.

It's all in the past.

Right? What's past is past.

We have to let it all go.

If you keep thinking about it, you'll go crazy.

I'm sorry.

What I want to ask you about is even more in the past.

Do you really remember the faces of the real murderers?

Yes. The...

What was it?

Let me ask you again.

Who killed the owner of Dawoo Supermarket?

I killed her.

I killed the lady.

How did you kill her?

I put tape on her mouth three times.

I put her arms behind her back...

and taped them four times.

Everyone had their heads down except for you?

- Yes. - The real murderers were there,

so why did you say that you killed her?

It just worked out that way.

I was scared.

You really remember one of their faces?

Yes, I couldn't see the other two because their heads were down.

I'm sorry, Sang Hyun,

but you blew 2.8 million dollars because you can't write your name,

and yet you can remember what happened six years ago?

I remember everything I have to.

Sang Hyun,

when you were in jail, your father passed away,

but you don't even know where he's laid to rest.

Yet you remember the murderer's face?

I can't believe you.

What about...

your mother?

She passed away when I was seven.

June 29, 2002.

Don't think.

Just keep pushing forward.

Don't be stupid...

and use your brain.

Just keep pushing forward.

You remember the exact date of your mother's death.

That's 18 years ago.

I'm sorry, I don't drink this coffee.

I only drink It's Be.

You bought the wrong one. It's okay.

But this is It's Be.

It says here. "It's Be."

It says to push.

(Push)

He read it.

He read what it said. What's going on?

Sang Hyun,

you know how to read.

Why did you lie for such a long time?

- What do you mean? - You can read,

so why did you say that you were illiterate?

Some man...

taught me how to read when I was in prison.

That's why I can read a little,

but I still can't write.

How do you know the exact date of your mother's death?

My father...

hurt my mom whenever he got drunk.

That's why she was very depressed and ill.

Sang Hyun,

show this to the shop at the intersection...

and bring back what the man gives you.

That day, she made me go out to run an errand for her.

Is your family farming now?

Why do your parents keep looking for this?

(Pesticides Store)

Mom.

What a good son you are.

Mom, what's wrong? Are you ill?

Sang Hyun.

It's okay. Sleep with Mommy.

(Pesticide)

Mom.

Mom.

- I kept shaking her, - Mom...

- but she wouldn't wake up. - Mom...

This is insane!

That's how your mother passed away?

- Yes. - Do you remember her face?

No.

- You don't? - No.

You said you remember the culprit's face!

Isn't your mom more important to you?

Why can't you remember her face?

Try to think a little!

I remember Mom's smell.

What was it?

So...

The last time I slept with Mom,

she must have kept throwing up.

The room was filled with that smell.

The pesticide.

That was Mom's smell.

The pesticide smell is your mom's smell?

I don't remember her face,

but I remember that smell.

I like that smell.

That's why I live here.

I don't smell anything.

In the summer, people spray a lot of pesticides.

Then I can smell my mom everywhere.

This is insane.

So? How do you remember the culprit's face?

The guy sitting at the end of the table...

in the Prosecutors' Office looked at me and cried.

The culprit looked at you and cried?

Why?

I don't know. He saw me,

and then he bawled.

He was the first person...

who cried while looking at me.

That's why I keep remembering it.

My gosh.

This is driving me insane.

Don't be stupid...

and use your brain.

My gosh. Okay.

Sang Hyun. What was the best moment in your life?

I mean, when was the most... How do I put it?

Your happiest moment.

- Happy... Happy? - Yes.

I've never been.

Come on. Think a little.

When did you feel good and warm?

Everyone had to have had at least one day like that!

Who doesn't have a single memory like that?

Even I do.

But...

When Mom held me...

Yes?

That last time we slept together.

I felt very warm.

Right before I fell asleep,

I felt it very... Very briefly.

That moment was the happiest, and I...

remember it...

often.

Please stop.

That was your happiest moment?

Yes.

I know what that is.

What is it?

Mom's smell.

I have my favorite Mom's smell too.

The smell of a bathhouse.

When I was a kid,

my mom was a body scrubber at a bathhouse.

When my mom came home with her hair all wet,

that smell just emanated from her...

and filled that tiny room.

- Sam Soo. - Mom.

Hi.

Goodness.

Hey. Stop it.

- Piggyback. Piggyback. - When did you get so heavy?

Oh my goodness.

Stop it. Okay.

Mr. Park!

Hey.

Here. Drink this on your way back.

I bought it for you...

when you said you were coming.

What?

- Did you run to give me this? - Yes.

There was nothing else in the fridge.

It's okay. I usually have...

nothing anyway.

My good boy.

Mom...

- Don't cry. - Mom.

You're a big boy. Don't cry.

Mom...

Don't cry.

Bye.

Please don't go...

Mom...

But...

What's wrong, Mr. Park?

Why are you crying?

The culprit that Sang Hyun saw was Lee Cheol Gyu.

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

Really?

But there's no way to find him.

Mr. Park.

Why are you working so hard?

I've never seen you like this.

Kang Sang Hyun's life story.

I'll get Lee Cheol Gyu to come forth with this.

Just wait and see.

How many times did I say to write about me?

That way, we can get philanthropists to come forth.

Lee Cheol Gyu cried when he saw Sang Hyun.

Once a crier, always a crier.

I repeat.

I'll get Lee Cheol Gyu to come forth with this.

Just wait and see.

We don't have much time.

Let's look for Kim Won Bok in Busan.

Again? Why did there have to be three culprits?

They're making your life so hard.

As Ms. Hwang said, use your feet, not your head.

- Let's try that. - Didn't I say that?

Did you?

Did I not?

Sam Soo. I absolutely love your article.

- Really? - It's fabulous.

Really?

This is awesome.

Yes!

Don't forget me if you become a millionaire thanks to me.

Of course not!

Will it really go well?

Of course. I cried when I read your first draft.

Oh no.

I'm tearing up again.

Gosh.

You're seriously a grade above the rest.

I said to catch the culprit,

and you bring me an article like this.

Hey. The culprit will grow soft when he sees this, right?

Naturally. If he cried when he saw Sang Hyun,

how could he not cry after reading about his life?

That's how the muscle that controls human emotions work.

Just wait and see.

Once we post this article,

the culprit will show up at our door bawling.

There's another important element.

What happens when you make readers cry over another's pain and sadness?

We get cash in our pockets! Yes!

You are so crude.

Must you say it like that?

Hey. But I didn't cry when I was interviewing him.

That's because you're a coldhearted and crude human being.

That's why you milk weak people for what they've got.

- Take a look at this. - What's that?

Objective evidence of our activities.

(500 Die in Apartment Collapse)

In 1999, 230 people died in a train crash.

In 2010, 500 died because a shoddy apartment collapsed.

Whenever tragedies like these occurred,

newspapers had the highest sales and online hits.

I guess sadness really does bring in money if you share it.

Oh my gosh.

It sold.

(Sending article)

Be still my heart. It's beating too hard.

- All trashy reporters are doomed! - Doomed!

- Trust me and the readers. - I trust you!

They won't turn away from a good article.

- Are you ready? - I'm ready!

- Shall we? - Okay!

Here we go.

(Sending article)

(Published)

Are you going to publish articles without telling me from now on?

You betrayed me.

You're the coolest when you write articles like this.

Hey, I don't write articles to be cool.

Wait and see. My killer articles will get me...

right back inside the four gates. Just you wait.

Do you really want to come back here?

I got kicked out as a trashy reporter.

I need to recover my reputation,

don't I?

That's right.

Honey!

I sent you a link. Have you read my article?

What do you think? Isn't it brilliant?

Perfect timing.

I just arrived at my father's place.

Are you at your father's place? Well...

The plums. Please tell him they're from me.

Okay?

I raised you with love after your mom died early.

How could you move in with a guy without even telling me?

Does that punk think he can take you for a box of plums?

What does he even do for a living?

He writes stuff like this.

You can bring...

the rough-looking guy here soon.

Father, are you crying?

No way.

There's something in my eye, that's all.

(The Sorrow of the Three Fake Murderers Part 1)

(Will he be cleared of his murder charges this time?)

Darn it.

"Kang Sang Hyun's Happiest Moment in Life"?

Why couldn't he just write about me?

What's wrong?

- Are you crying? - Don't be ridiculous.

Her cancer spread all over her body.

She may not last the night.

Let me take her home.

It's a hassle. What's the point?

I want to look after her at home.

Goodness.

Tae Yong.

Even when I'm gone,

study hard...

and take good care of your siblings.

If you...

continue to be a good boy,

just like the dream I had before having you,

you'll become a dragon...

that soars through the sky.

If you get in trouble,

you'll end up like the boy from "Galaxy Express 999"...

and wander around without a mom.

Keep that in mind, okay?

Mom!

Mom! Wake up!

Mom!

- Mom! - Mom!

Mom!

- Mom! - Mom!

- Mom! - Mom!

How often do you call your mom?

Once in a while.

She was very happy when you were on the news.

Do you know that...

she supported me financially while I studied for the bar exam?

She doesn't have any money.

I know.

Without her, I would've made the news as a criminal.

She's the reason I've made it this far.

So she doesn't have to thank me.

Just study hard.

Okay.

Stay with us just until you can walk.

After that, go back to your mom.

- What did you just say? - What?

- Go away! - Why are you doing this?

- What's wrong with you? - Stop!

- Stop fighting! - What did you say?

Stay with us...

just until you enter elementary school.

- Let's get inside! - Calm down!

- Please stop. - What's with you?

Sir, can you hook a worm on my hook?

I'm too scared.

Don't call me sir. I'm your brother.

Why are you my brother?

(Seomnoeul Restaurant)

Mr. Park, come in and eat.

You can call me Tae Yong. I'll call you Aunt.

I'm Tae Sung's big brother.

Won Bok, what's wrong?

- Are you sick? - No, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

What happened?

Mom.

I'm going out for a walk.

What?

(I got beaten up by the detective so badly.)

The criminals opened the door using a crowbar.

They tied up the hands of a woman in her 70s...

and covered her mouth.

Unfortunately, the woman died from suffocation.

Run far away.

Never come back here.

Do as I say!

Won Bok, hide somewhere far away.

Does Mr. Kim Won Bok live here?

Who is it?

I have a letter for him.

(Witness Summons)

Mom, what's that?

- "Witness summons"? - It's all in the past.

Won Bok, don't go there.

Do as I say like last time.

I'll look for Kim Won Bok. Please look for Cho Deok Jung again.

Gosh.

Once they read my article, they'll turn themselves in.

- Wait a little longer. - Let's search for them ourselves.

Gosh.

- Should I ask Ms. Lee for help? - Come on.

"Secretly, greatly".

Can't we find the criminals that way?

I'm even raking in money for you.

It would've been a huge success if you'd written about me.

What will we do with that chump change?

(13,968 dollars)

What?

(13,968 dollars)

Thirteen-hundred... No way!

We're in the same boat, okay? Let's shake hands.

"Sadness brings in money if you share it." That's my motto.

So clever.

Ms. Lee, are you enjoying your visits to the prosecution?

Yes, thank you for letting me visit such a great place.

It's nothing.

May I ask a question?

Yes, go ahead.

I haven't heard anything about Sam Soo and Park Tae Yong.

I wonder what they're up to.

I haven't seen them in a while.

Aren't you curious? They're newsmakers.

May I ask you a question?

Why did you send me to the Legal Department?

Why would I?

You're the best one in your year.

Why are you so curious about what Sam Soo is up to?

You can ask him yourself.

Do you think we have that much free time?

I don't have enough free time to chase after someone's tails.

I don't think that's my job as a news reporter either.

You're indeed the smartest one.

Of course. You need to have such principles.

Put one on each.

Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk has this.

Three times around the mouth, four times around the hands.

You'd only know things like this if you're the real murderer.

There's a reason why Prosecutor Jang is happy to go for the retrial.

Ms. Lee, you need to get...

on the good side of Mayor Kang Chul Woo...

and go to the Blue House with him after.

Don't you want a pass into the Blue House?

Excuse me, where is this address?

- Over there. - Thank you.

Anyone here?

Who is it?

Do you know a Kim Won Bok?

Kim Won Bok?

He doesn't live here.

I'm sorry.

Where on earth do you live, then?

Kids, stop for a moment.

- Do you guys know Won Bok? - Won Bok?

Is that food?

Go. Get going now.

Are you from Seoul?

Yes, somewhere around Seoul.

What brings you all the way from there?

To find someone.

His name is Kim Won Bok.

What did you just say?

Do you know Kim Won Bok?

His mom is a regular here.

You know Kim Won Bok?

You should've come a little sooner. What took you so long?

Why? Is there something wrong?

Just stay still and money just piles up.

The real culprit will show up after reading the article.

How can you possibly check the whole neighborhood in this heat?

This is so refreshing.

Anybody there?

- Who's this? - Hello.

Is this Kim Won Bok's house?

No, it's not. You got the wrong house.

I'm sorry.

(Electricity Bill Resident: Kim Won Bok)

It's Kim Won Bok's house!

He doesn't live here. Please get out!

Ma'am, I'm not a bad person.

My son isn't a bad person either!

He doesn't live here.

I don't come with bad intentions.

Please don't do this. Please leave.

I'm sorry.

- Do you have any fruit here? - No, I don't.

Why not? Most corner shops sell fruit nowadays.

People in this neighborhood don't eat fruit.

What money do poor people have that they can afford fruit?

Do you sell fruit here?

(Yoosang Supermarket)

(Mugunghwa Supermarket)

Do you sell fruit?

How much is it for a box?

The small one is 25 dollars, and the big one is 35 dollars.

Please give me the best box you have here.

I'm sorry about earlier.

You didn't have to.

I know this can't bring you any consolation,

but please feel better.

Excuse me,

why were you looking for my son?

Seeing it on the news again...

and being called to the court...

must've been hard on him.

He went out to the ocean alone at night...

and drowned himself.

This is all my fault.

I should've made him confess when it happened,

but I didn't have the courage to.

Every parent would feel that way.

Please hold on.

You're looking for my son's friends, right?

This is Cheol Gyu's number.

He came to the funeral with Deok Jung.

Don't hate my son and his friends too much.

It's all because of bad parents like me.

Mr. Park.

I didn't know that was you.

You totally blended in.

Say hi.

Hello.

So? Did you find anything?

No way!

How did you get this?

The answer is at the crime scene.

We must use our bodies.

I searched for Deok Jung all day long, but failed.

I'll find the next one.

Find whom? I found everyone.

A philanthropist.

Let's go.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot!

- Yes! - No!

Darn it.

- Call. - My mom always said...

not to talk to scary people.

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

Darn it. He'll have my number now.

How many times must you look?

- I'm calling for real. - Do it.

- I'm calling. - Okay.

- I'm calling. For real. - Yes.

I'm calling.

Hello?

Hello?

- Say you're a reporter. - I can't.

Say you're a reporter.

Hello? Is this Mr. Lee Cheol Gyu?

Yes, it is. Who is this?

Hello, Mr. Lee. I'm Park Tae Yong, an attorney.

- Come on. - What?

I got your number from Mr. Kim Won Bok's mother.

Why are you calling?

Mr. Kim Won Bok's mother is very worried.

I'd really like to meet you.

I won't go out alone.

That's all.

Jae Hyun, Uncle's busy right now.

I'll return your binoculars. Don't worry.

Okay, bye.

- Hello? - I'll call him now.

The man around your age who answers his phone is Lee Cheol Gyu.

Bye.

Okay.

- Hello? - Hello, Mr. Lee.

Have you arrived?

I'm waiting in front of the department store.

I'll be right there. Don't hang up, and wait for me.

Mr. Park! To the left.

The cap! Cap! The cap!

The cap.

Darn it. Get him!

Darn it.

He got away.

Darn it.

You're super fast.

There are two things I excel at.

One is running. The other is looking old.

I look at least 10 years older than my peers.

Right?

I thought you broke your promise and brought a cop.

That's why I ran.

He's a reporter.

Did something happen? Why did you run?

The statute of limitations hasn't expired yet.

- She's my wife. - Hello.

Listen.

When I was arrested in 2014,

I confessed and said I'd pay for my crime.

I said I did it,

but Jang Yoon Suk kept saying, "You didn't kill her!"

And let me go.

Why did you agree so readily when I asked to meet?

I read the article that Mr. Park wrote.

And I felt bad about what happened to Won Bok.

And his mom cried...

and told me to find a way to live.

I feel bad too, and my mind is all jumbled.

They let me go before when I confessed,

but they're calling me in to testify again.

My friend killed himself.

But the prosecutor keeps telling me to endure it!

Can you tell the truth again this time too?

Whether this case is resolved or buried lies in your hands.

You let me go when I confessed,

and you want me to go to prison now?

We feel terrible about it.

But the lives of the three men who were framed is at stake.

You can't take him away.

Who will raise our child?

Our baby is only two years old.

Don't come to testify on July 30.

Stay hidden, and come forth after the statute of limitations expires.

If he doesn't show, he'll be summoned by the court.

If you avoid it again, will you feel at peace?

You'll suffer from the guilt as you do now.

Think about the disabled men who were framed.

What about our baby?

What did our baby do wrong?

I'm sorry.

Who was the one who cried when you met the three victims...

back then?

I cried.

Why did you cry like that?

I was the reason that old lady died,

but some idiot was saying he killed her.

How could a human being not cry?

Do I seem that heartless to you?

This is such a dilemma.

I feel bad for Lee Cheol Gyu...

and guilty toward his wife.

It's my first time empathizing with a criminal.

Look at these guys. You are impressive.

Did you really meet Lee Cheol Gyu?

It isn't that simple. Telling him to go to prison now...

He has a two-year-old baby.

- This is why I like you guys. - Hey.

You came this far because you're so kindhearted.

That's why you met the real culprit.

Stop reminding us of our dilemma.

None of this would've happened if I had done my job right...

when I arrested them back then.

I'm partly at fault.

I wish he'd at least lie.

Then I could scold him and get angry.

But he's being honest,

so I felt bad.

Everyone feels bad. That's our problem.

You guys got this far already.

Don't worry too much.

Since you met the culprit whom you couldn't see,

a way will surface that wasn't there before.

Let's stress about it together. Okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Let's go.

Go to sleep.

Go to sleep.

Honey, don't you dare waver.

You have to be tough.

I got it.

Don't worry.

Go to sleep.

Sleep.

(July 30, Criminal Court, Samjung District Court)

That's Cho Deok Jung.

Over there.

Don't aggravate him.

Where's Lee Cheol Gyu?

Look at her. She's here to spy on us again.

Ms. Lee. Long time no see.

- Hello. - Hello.

You haven't met, right?

She's Hwang Min Kyung, an attorney. She's Lee Yoo Kyung, a reporter.

I'm Hwang Min Kyung.

Hello. I'm Lee Yoo Kyung.

Yoo Kyung.

Let's work hard.

The witnesses taking the stand today are Cho Deok Jung,

Lee Cheol Gyu, and Kim Won Bok.

However, Kim Won Bok had died.

Lee Cheol Gyu did not show up.

Only Cho Deok Jung will take the stand.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket on February 7, 2013?

- I did not. - Then why did you say...

you killed the victim in your initial statement?

The prosecutor Hwang Min Kyung coerced me...

to confess untruthfully.

I never went to Dawoo Supermarket,

and I never killed anyone.

No more questions.

The statements that you made while you were investigated...

are consistent with the crime scene.

I do not remember.

You can be punished for perjury. Let me ask that again.

Did you really not go?

No.

I did not go.

We will call Lee Cheol Gyu again...

on August 5 when we reconvene.

Your Honor. That's not enough time.

Didn't you want to proceed as quickly as possible?

Because that's the only way you can catch the real culprits?

Well...

Will we lose the trial?

The mood seemed weird.

Should we have taken the offer when they said they'd pay us?

It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. Don't worry.

I'm going to speak with them for a bit, so you should go first.

The phone is turned off. Please leave a message...

Lee Cheol Gyu isn't even picking up.

I think he's gone into hiding.

What should we do? The next session is our last chance.

We can't just sit around waiting.

How about you meet with them again?

- You can't say that. - What?

You can't say that we met with the culprits.

You don't have to do that.

Mr. Park, how much do you trust those people?

Why? Is something wrong?

Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk has something.

It's an audio file. But it's not the one that Sam Soo lost.

What? How do you know that?

- What's it about? - You know I can't tell you.

Why not?

What about journalism ethics?

Journalism ethics?

Who are you to lecture me?

Are you here as a journalist or a spy?

- Whose side are you on? - Stop making me choose sides.

You're not the only person forcing things upon me.

Why are you being so harsh? Talk nicely.

I heard that you started covering the prosecution.

Did you team up with Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk already?

Where did your hiking shoes go? I can see your toes.

You've abandoned us!

Stop it. You're not wearing hiking shoes either.

I was just in court!

Right now, you wouldn't believe anything I say.

You're the one who should try to see what can't be seen.

Wait. Gosh.

You crossed the line.

What happened?

Why didn't Lee Cheol Gyu show up today?

I have no idea. He's been ignoring my calls.

All right.

Lee Cheol Gyu, if you keep refusing to appear,

you'll be arrested and interrogated by force.

Do you want to go to prison?

Call me as soon as you get this.

Can you put off the trial...

until the statute of limitations expires?

Then I'll cooperate.

Mr. Lee, come clean now...

so that you can face your child confidently.

Mr. Kang Sang Hyun cried when he saw your face.

You read about his mother, right?

Your wife and child...

I do feel sorry for them,

but...

Are you not going to work?

I'm not feeling well. I took the day off.

Mom.

Have lunch with me. It's my treat.

Have you made up your mind?

I'm asking because you never do this.

I think I've treated you to a few meals.

Won Bok's mom called me.

Eat up before the soup gets cold.

Did you guys really do it?

I'm sorry.

You can't end up like Won Bok.

If you do,

I'll follow you.

You can't die before me.

Do you understand?

If there's a way you can die after me,

you must choose that.

That's your duty as a son.

(Busan District Court, August 5, 6 a.m.)

Mr. Park, don't be too disappointed even if he doesn't come.

I believe in the power of tears.

Tears have the power to change people.

He cried when he saw Sang Hyun's face.

When you've been a prosecutor, you stop trusting people.

Criminals lie all the time.

So I tend to keep a distance from everyone.

No way.

He's here.

Ms. Hwang.

Lee Cheol Gyu is here.

He really...

came?

It's been a while, Ms. Hwang.

Thank you so much for coming.

If I'd done a better job,

things would've been a lot easier for everyone.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to apologize to a person like me.

Do you remember this man?

We've put you through so much.

No. Don't apologize.

Thank you.

Mr. Lee, once we leave, there's no going back.

I'm not a prosecutor anymore, so I'll give you five seconds.

Get out of the car, and you're free.

5, 4, 3...

- Let's just go. - Two...

This is humiliating.

I didn't run away last time either.

Six years ago, I had to watch you walk away.

It was painful.

Hwang Min Kyung, you want to overturn your seniors' case?

Are you here to bring disgrace on the prosecution?

Follow me, all of you.

Today, we're in the same car.

It feels weird.

The bravest of us all right now is you, Mr. Lee.

None of the prosecutors and judges...

are taking responsibility.

Let's go.

(Court 415)

Will Mr. Lee Cheol Gyu really tell the truth?

I'm not sure. We'll see.

(Mom)

Mom, why are you doing this?

Being a good son is hard.

I'll live a long and healthy life. Don't worry.

I'm going there to be a good son. Why are you crying?

I'll be back soon.

Take care until then.

(Court)

Today, many witnesses have been summoned.

Witnesses Oh Jae Soo, Jung Hae Yul, Jang Yoon Suk,

and Lee Cheol Gyu. Is everyone here?

I need one of you to take an oath on behalf of the others.

When I went to Lim Soo Chul, he ran away.

When he was arrested, he confessed to everything.

Were you aware that Kang Sang Hyun and Choi Jae Pil were disabled?

I found out afterward.

They all looked like smart kids.

Also, from my years of experience as an investigator,

Although they are developmentally disabled,

I can tell you that some of them do have the criminal DNA.

The criminal DNA? Is that a thing?

No way. I've never heard of it.

- They exaggerate too much. - I know.

Kang Sang Hyun's statement describes the scene accurately.

Are you the one who took the statement?

Yes. But I wasn't involved in the writing at all.

I was just watching him write it.

I remember Mr. Kang writing down each letter...

with a lot of care.

Kang Sang Hyun can't write.

So how could he write this statement?

I have no idea.

Back then, as you can see, he could write with no problem.

I even complimented him on it. Is that right, Sang Hyun?

You punished the accused physically...

and hit them on the back of their heads, right?

No officers in this 21st-century democratic society do that!

Victim Choi Young Sook said she had 150 dollars stolen at first.

But later, she found the money in her yard.

Did you know about this?

I've never heard about it before.

- I mean... - 150 dollars!

You put that in Lim Soo Chul's pocket!

Me?

I don't remember doing that at all.

If your memory is that bad,

how can you be a police officer in the 21st century?

What...

Counsel, please refrain from attacking the witness' character.

My apologies.

We'll reconvene after five minutes.

This man is just making stuff up.

Hey.

Long time no see, Ms. Hwang Min Kyung.

- Are you two close? - Super close.

Long time no see.

Are you two close?

We're close.

I saved him back in the day when you were ruining his life.

How could we not be close?

You haven't changed at all.

Let's finish everything today.

I'm sick of this too.

The voice of truth will be heard in this house of justice.

Everyone would've been at peace if you had let me...

do my job back then.

What are you talking about?

Do you even make enough money to feed yourself?

Want a referral for a law firm in Seoul?

Should I get you a job at Daeseok, the top firm in the nation?

Why would I go into that land of torment?

You must not be starved enough.

I like your guts though.

You haven't changed.

You know that in 2014, the prosecutor Hwang Min Kyung...

arrested the real culprits of the Samjung murder, correct?

Three people purporting to be the culprits came forward,

so we took over the case.

We investigated it, and they were not the culprits.

Although if you look at Ms. Hwang's records,

Cho Deok Jung, Lee Cheol Gyu, and Kim Won Bok's statements...

matched the crime scene exactly?

They denied everything when we questioned them.

They said they were coerced.

We've recently obtained a voice recording.

We'd like to submit it into evidence.

Let me ask you again.

Who killed the owner of Dawoo Supermarket?

How did you kill her?

I put tape on her mouth three times.

I put her arms behind her back...

and taped them four times.

She suddenly got too quiet,

so I lowered the tape.

She wasn't breathing.

So my friends and I... Ran away.

I'm sorry.

I begged for forgiveness.

What is that? It's so detailed.

What is that?

So that's why he was all arrogant.

(Witness Stand)

You...

Three layers of tape on her mouth, four around her arms.

They're very detailed facts that only the culprits would know.

How did you obtain that statement?

Kang Sang Hyun gave it voluntarily.

I was shocked because it was so consistent with the crime scene.

It was consistent with what the three killers did...

and how the victim died.

Did you tell him in advance...

or make him memorize it?

(Witness Stand)

Kang Sang Hyun is developmentally disabled.

He can't read Korean. How could I teach him that?

Did you call the detention center?

All three of them are doing well and living honest lives.

Kang Sang Hyun is a model inmate.

Other inmates taught him how to read,

so they say he reads pretty well now.

He can read.

Bring in all three of them.

Stay there with your heads down.

(I killed her.)

Okay. Let me ask you again.

Who killed the owner of Dawoo Supermarket?

I killed her.

I killed the lady.

How did you kill her?

(I killed her.)

"Jae Pil and I went to her room."

"Soo Chul held down the woman in the master bedroom."

"The old lady suddenly started to scream."

"So I put tape on her mouth three times."

"I put her arms behind her back..."

"and taped them four times."

Lee Cheol Gyu. Please take the stand.

Prosecution, question your witness.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket...

on February 7, 2013?

Let me ask you again.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket...

on February 7, 2013?

That rat.

Witness.

Answer the question.

Let me ask you again.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket...

on February 7, 2013?

(Witness Stand)

Yes, I did go.

What did you go for?

To buy cigarettes?

Prosecutor. Then and now, I do not smoke.

Then... Did you go to buy water or instant noodles?

Cho Deok Jung, Kim Won Bok, and I...

lost all our money at a gambling house,

so we went there to steal money.

That rat has lost his mind.

So you just stole the money and left, correct?

No.

After we stole money,

we caused the old lady there to die.

Witness. You know that the statute of limitations has not yet expired.

I know that it expires on February 6 of next year.

I've been waiting for that day for seven years.

Of course, I know.

A person died because of that incident.

You cannot avoid being punished for this heinous crime.

Keep that in mind as you answer.

Do you understand?

Your Honor. I'll be punished if I lie under oath too, right?

Yes, that's correct.

Then I'll be punished whether I tell the truth...

or tell a lie.

That judge... I feel so bad for him, I can't bear to watch.

He has no shame.

The judge should be the most nervous right now.

Counsel?

Question your witness.

(Defendant)

Mr. Lee.

Is there a reason you came today and are speaking the truth?

I read the article about the framed victim Kang Sang Hyun.

I apologize that other people suffered...

because of the crime my friends and I committed.

I'm sorry.

When I read about his mother,

I cried all night long.

My mother also cried...

as she told me to tell the truth and pay for my crimes.

Won Bok's mother said the same thing.

Mother... I'm so sorry.

Cheol Gyu. You have to live.

Think of your mom.

Don't do anything drastic, okay?

You know what I mean, don't you?

Yes.

Mr. Lee. Do you remember any of the defendants here today...

from before?

Yes. I remember the man in the middle.

What do you remember him from?

Right before we were released, we met in Jang Yoon Suk's office.

I was the reason the old lady died,

but he said he killed her.

I cried a lot that day because of the guilt.

If you really are the culprit,

do you have evidence to support your statement?

Yes, I do.

This is something only Won Bok and I knew.

But since he died,

only I know about it.

There is something the prosecutors never asked us.

What is that?

At the crime scene,

there was probably traces of water on the victim...

and on the floor.

Let's take a look at the photos of the crime scene.

Where is the water?

(Witness)

That rat.

(Delayed Justice)

Park Tae Yong! You're awesome!

Now that your problem is solved, another one is popping up.

Is it really time for us to just divide up the money...

and go on our ways?

There's a lot for you to do. You have to shut them.

I will do that sir.

Do you know Oh Jae Deok from Jeju Island?

A rookie reporter from News and New is looking into the case.

Mr. Park, let's get rid of Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.
