(Forgotten Season)

One of the fundamental causes of police corruption

is ethical cynicism.

This is the cynical attitude towards the society that

arose from the structural problem of

the organization itself and the dual attitude

of ordinary citizens.

Hey, you at the end!

Get out of the class if you're not going to focus.

Don't disturb the others.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Secondly...

Corruption learning of police officers.

370 points for the last mock exam.

Last year's cut-off score in Seoul was 372 points.

It's close but you are not there yet.

I'm trying my best.

Well, everyone's trying their best.

Eunjae, this is your fifth year, right?

Yes.

We have many long-term students.

After this exam...

What about you move to another academy?

With the guarantee of basic human rights

that discovered substantive truth...

Not only in the investigation process...

It is the basic ideology of criminal proceedings.

51.

52.

53.

This is so annoying!

I was annoyed to death.

How could I eat that? That's disgusting!

Of course I just threw it out!

Yeah.

During the day, he kept

touching my stuff.

(Seoul Dongjak Police Station)

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

I'll go get an ointment.

No, it's fine.

Hold on a second. I'll be right back.

Can I sit in front of you?

I live right next to your room. Room 305.

Oh, I see.

How can you study while eating?

I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Anyway, how long have you been preparing for it?

I have a lecture.

I can hear you talking on the phone from my room.

I just want you to be a little careful.

What the...

Eunjae, I haven't got the rent for this month.

My mom's going to send the money tomorrow morning.

She mistook the date.

It's always the same date every month.

I hope you keep the date.

I have a plan too.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell her.

I heard you lashed out at the girl next door.

Did she say something?

She went on about how the room isn't soundproof

and she wants to move out.

She took her luggage bag out and pretended to pack.

Gosh, that little...

From the first day of moving

she was so fussy.

I told her that I'll change her drawers

and comforted her.

Let's just put up with it.

More than half of women's rooms are vacant.

I'm about to die here.

She sent a lot.

There is no room in the fridge.

At first, I just laughed it off.

The next summer...

And then the next summer...

Five years...

It was enough time to change a person.

I argue with other people

and get hurt by money.

I feel burdened, rather than happy,

by the side dish that mom sends.

Don't you even have time to put some ointment on?

Bring another one of the same thing.

Someone's sincere favor

feels very uncomfortable right now.

I'm a total mess.

and serve everyone with warmth.

Second, seek truth in the name of justice...

Seek truth in the name of justice...

And not compromise with any injustice or illegality.

A righteous police officer...

Please start.

Jiyeong.

Jiyeong!

Gosh, what is happening?

What's going on?

Oh, the thing is...

It's nothing. Go on in.

(Second round written test results)

Eunjae.

Come out for a second.

Okay, just a second.

(Lee Eunjae)

I'm from Dongjak Police Station.

One of the fundamental causes of police corruption

is ethical cynicism.

This is the cynical attitude towards the society that

arose from the structural problem of

the organization itself and the dual attitude

of ordinary citizens.

Hey, you at the end!

Get out of the class if you're not going to focus.

Don't disturb the others.

I'm sorry.

Secondly...

- Corruption learning of police officers. - I'm sorry.

This is when the newbie police officers...

If you look closely into the other person's eyes,

you can feel that person's emotions.

How do I feel right now?

I'm now...

What is all this?

Hello.

Gosh, look at the smoke.

Who grills pork belly at a study dorm?

It stinks!

Please have some if you haven't eaten yet.

That's okay.

Are you free right now, Jungi?

Yes. Why?

Someone moved into room 305.

She says the fridge stinks

so I want to change it with the one next door.

0408.

This really weird.

- The passcode is 0408. - Ma'am.

You have to click the asterisk at the end.

- Asterisk? - Yes.

0408, asterisk.

You are right.

Careful.

It looks like it's completely new.

The room is a little dark.

I thought a girl's room would be a little brighter.

If you don't know something, you can ask him.

It's been 3, 4 years since you've been studying,

right, Jungi?

It's been 8 years.

Really?

I'm sure you'll pass this year.

Do you like listening to the radio?

Yes, sometimes...

- Ma'am. - Yes?

- Your account number, please. - Okay.

Darn it.

Geez...

How much does this cost?

Is it expensive?

This incident caused a huge shock on the society...

One pack of Lite, please.

Sure.

There is no clear motivation or a target

for a serial killer who is a psychopath

which creates even more fear.

Therefore, it shouldn't just end by

condemning them to imprisonment or death penalty.

- It's $8.50. - We need to try to...

Understand the personal or social mechanisms

that have created the psychopath.

If the son is a reporter,

the mom would very proud, right?

Pardon? Oh, yes.

I think so.

We've analyzed the serial killers of Korea.

How much was it again?

(I saw the news, you looked great, my brother)

What are you doing right now?

Why are you eating someone else's food? It's gross!

Pardon?

This kimchi is mine.

My mom sent it for me to eat.

Why didn't you write your name on it?

This is the public fridge...

My name is right on there.

Gosh.

It's possible to miss the name tag.

She's pretty but...

That temper... Geez.

(No subject, action figure shopping mall)

This is the last time.

It's seriously the last.

Make a promise, okay?

Promise.

I promised.

That's it.

Yes, done!

Done, done!

Good job, Jungi. Good job.

Good job. Good job.

I praise you, Jungi.

You did well.

(Choi Jiyeong)

You know...

Geez...

Can I sit in front of you?

I live right next to your room. Room 305.

Oh, I see.

(Eden Study Dorm)

What is it?

You are so stingy.

No, make it a $20 bet.

Where is the LAN center?

The delivery man said he definitely delivered it.

But nothing came here.

I know. So where did it go?

So let me check the security camera footage.

The security camera?

I'll just check who took it.

Hold on.

I'll ask the other students...

What if you ask?

Do you think they'll say they took it?

If it were you, would you do that?

Why are you keep accusing other people?

Don't worry.

- I'll take responsibility... - Whatever.

Let's check the security camera.

Then we can know for sure.

- Gosh, the thing is... - Excuse me...

I'm sorry for this.

You should've checked properly. Look what happened.

Why do you have this?

I thought it was mine.

Then you should have returned it right away.

Why did you keep it until now?

Well...

Could it be...

Never mind.

You didn't take it on purpose, did you?

No.

- Why would I... - Alright.

That punk gave it back saying he took it by mistake.

But still...

Whatever. There are so many psychos.

Yeah.

I'm outside. Bye.

Bye.

A pack of Menthol, please.

Okay.

It's not nice to see girls smoke.

One pack of Lite, please.

Okay.

I got your card.

You should quit smoking for your future baby.

I guess you can afford to smoke.

Although you steal other people's food and stuff.

What a bum.

You have to press the asterisk at the end.

What are you doing?

What did you say earlier? Huh?

What a bum?

Did I say something wrong?

Apologize.

You ate someone else's food

and stole someone else's thing.

Isn't that what a bum does?

I said apologize.

Politely.

Screw you.

(Menthol)

Are you going somewhere far away?

The eyes of a man never lie.

How much does it cost?

You didn't take it on purpose, did you?

No.

Why would I take that?

I guess you can afford to smoke.

What a bum.

Should I stop over there?

- Oh, I'll help. - No.

It's fine.

(Bus Terminal)

How do I feel right now?

Well...

Right now, I...

A newbie journalist of "Washington Post,"

Jane Cooke.

In 1980, she won a Pulitzer Price with her article

"Jimmy's World" written for the "Washington Post."

But 3 days later, the award got canceled.

Why?

Why?

Because her article...

Was a lie.

Janet Cooke, who was desperate for a scoop,

created Jimmy who doesn't even exist

and added all the suggestive, provoking stories

to her article.

Drugs, a five-year-old, black girl.

The whole nation was deceived

by this very well-written false article

covering these three factors.

(Manager Jo killed your article)

(About the medical complex speculation)

So now, let's talk about how the media...

Deceives the public.

The suspect of the random murder case

at Guhyeon Station was arrested today.

He's accused of killing 5 women so far.

This incident has created such a huge shock

and impact on the society.

Yes.

There is no clear motivation or a target

for a serial killer who is a psychopath

which creates even more fear.

Therefore, it shouldn't just end by

condemning them to imprisonment or death penalty.

We need to try to

understand the personal or social mechanisms

that have created the psychopath.

If the son is a reporter,

the mom would very proud, right?

Pardon? Oh, yes.

- Thank you. - Good work.

- You did great. - Alright.

Why did you kill the article I wrote?

How was your lecture?

I did it only because Congressman Choi asked.

Talking about the media and justice

in front of the kids...

It felt comfortable.

Uncomfortable?

I was having lunch with our director

and got a text from Congressman Choi.

"You ungrateful son of a gun."

Exclamation mark.

Another exclamation mark.

Geez. Is he saying this to me or to you?

Congressman's cousin

is the owner of the medical complex.

Didn't you know that?

No.

He owns five buildings.

Of course, he wouldn't have undergone

a proper tax investigation.

I'm sorry.

I-I didn't know.

I didn't know, I mean it.

Shinjin Daily is going to release a follow-up article.

Our congressman says he can't even eat these days.

Well, the floor leader election is coming soon

so he must be anxious.

That follow-up article...

Must be buried unconditionally.

Get a scoop.

As huge as possible.

We have to help him have a meal at least.

Don't you agree?

(I saw the news, you looked great, my brother)

(Congressman Choi will come to the restaurant at 11)

(Brother)

Hi, Jungi.

Yoonki.

Yoonki, I...

I'm sorry but I'm busy so I'll call you later...

I killed someone.

Reporter Heo, is something wrong?

Oh, no. I'm fine.

I heard you did well on the lecture.

Professor Park complimented you a lot.

Oh, don't say that.

It's all thanks to you.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

Congressman, this article...

Reporter Heo.

I'm sorry but can you get me a pack of cigarettes?

Sure.

I...

I thought to kill myself.

I wanted to kill myself...

Why didn't you do it?

You should've just killed yourself.

I...

I should turn myself in, right?

- I think I should... - No.

You can't turn yourself in. Never.

It's a really important time for me right now.

Then what should I do?

Wait until I contact you.

Good-bye.

He wants me to become the spokesperson.

If he becomes the floor leader,

he needs someone to be his mouth.

There isn't anyone good enough to do that.

I have a chance...

If only that medical complex article gets buried.

Oh, right.

You said your mother runs a shoe shop, right?

Did you say it was in Mapo?

She's in Wonju.

Huh? Oh, right.

You went to a college in the suburbs, right?

Wow, you've succeeded.

You even give a lecture in Seoul.

Your mother must be so proud.

Fake shoes are better than the brand ones.

It doesn't matter if they get dirty.

You can just throw them out.

- Yoonki. - Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

- No pictures. - No photos!

You can't take photos.

What happened?

Please explain.

They are coming out.

Is that a dead person?

It looks like a dead person!

This neighborhood is so scary.

So now, let's talk about how the media...

Deceives the public.

Today at around 10 p.m.,

a luggage bag with a corpse inside

was found at a reed field in Gyeonggi-do.

The public gets angry when the social underdog

becomes the victim.

Children, the elderly and women.

The identity of the body hasn't been found but

the police assume that it's a woman in her early 20s.

What can be more effective

than interviews of citizens in creating sympathy?

Nothing.

Do these incidents make you worry?

Since I'm raising a child,

I feel insecure.

It's a little scary.

When experts appear on the screen,

the credibility of the report increases.

In cases where the corpse wasn't hidden,

but was abandoned in a plastic bag or luggage bag,

many of the murderers showed

psychopathic traits.

Then, do you think it's possible that it's a serial murder

by a psychopath?

I can't exclude that option.

The identity of the corpse found at the reed field

was revealed to be Choi, who was

preparing for the civil service exam at Noryangjin.

Now the attention is on the results of the autopsy.

Finally, that one unforgettable image

for the public.

It hasn't been long since

the Guhyeon Station murder case occurred.

At the possibility of another serial murder case,

the citizens are trembling in fear once again.

For the sake of the victims who were killed unjustly,

we have to come together

to find the reason and the solution.

I'm Heo Yoonki from KBC News.

[KBS World TV Ver] KBS Drama Special 2018 E02 "Forgotten Season" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You said you were going to help me.

How could you make news out of it?

And what? A psychopath?

A serial murderer.

If we keep pushing it towards a serial murder

by a psychopath, the public will focus on the police.

They'll keep their eyes wide open

to see how the cops will catch the culprit.

Then, the investigation will change directions.

That's the power of the public.

They can't help but be wary of the public.

Then, if someone unlucky gets caught, done.

End of investigation.

It's a happy ending for everyone.

But still, this is...

What?

Don't you understand what I said?

I guess that's possible. You've always been like that.

What?

You always caused trouble and mom

was always worried.

You do nothing and can't do anything

but she only worries about you.

Well, that's...

I always cleaned up after your mess.

- Yoonki. - Don't worry. I'll take care of everything.

We are family.

(From Congressman Choi, I saw the news very well)

Just go for it, Yoonki.

The security camera?

Why all of a sudden?

I ordered something

but I think someone took it.

Why would someone take something that's not theirs?

People these days aren't that insane...

You know? Gosh.

Let me just check it once.

It's not that hard.

Please?

Ma'am.

Well...

Jungi.

Wait, is the security camera...

Fake?

The thing is...

Please.

Don't tell others...

I won't.

Huh?

Don't worry about it.

Eunjae.

Come out for a second.

I'm from Dongjak Police Station.

(Seoul Dongjak Police Station)

Today, the police made an announcement

regarding the Noryangjin murder case.

The victim's autopsy showed that the actual

cause of death was compression on the neck.

Noryangjin?

There are so many crazy people in this world.

And they said it's very unlikely

that this is a serial murder.

However, the victim's residence was in Noryangjin

but the body was found 80km away,

in the south of Gyeonggi-do.

The murderer put the body in the luggage bag...

Yes.

Sure, I'll be right there.

Yes.

- A customer? - Yeah.

How's the traffic at the 88 Olympic Expressway?

It's $3.50.

Would you like a plastic bag?

Yes, please.

I was about to radio him but I forgot what to say.

That happens.

Are you really going to eat ice cream? It's fattening.

You won't eat it?

- No, I will. - What?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

So this is her?

The victim of the Noryangjin study dorm murder case?

Do you recognize her?

She came here often to buy cigarettes.

Ma'am, you should have some too.

It's fine. I don't like meat.

You guys eat up.

Here you go.

Eat up, Jungi.

Yes.

You can just leave it after you finish eating.

I'll come and clean it up.

- We can... - Thank you.

I thought she hated grilling meat here

because it stinks. What has gotten into her?

Ta-da!

Hey, it's because she doesn't want us to move out.

Most of the girls are gone now.

Oh, because the girl from room 305 died?

I heard a detective came by a few days ago.

A detective?

Yeah, he had some questions

for the girl who lives next door.

The girl next door?

Room 304. She looks so cold.

What if we get investigated too?

What's wrong with that?

Are you guilty?

Geez, that's not the point.

I don't even have time to study.

You punk. Don't pretend you study all the time.

Oh, you know the reporter who reported it first?

He's getting a lot of criticisms online.

Why?

He went on about it being a serial murder case

and got stabbed in the back.

- Stupid reporters. - Yeah.

(The Fall of the Press, The Raging Public)

(KBC News should be punished!)

(Smells fishy, they are trying to cover something up)

(Stupid Reporter Heo Yoonki, you rubbish)

You'll be excluded from the team for the time being.

Until the public has calmed down.

This is unfair.

Unfair?

I did everything I was asked.

I got the scoop because you...

Thanks to that, you put us in the gutter.

And you say it's unfair?

No matter how cute a puppy is,

you have to throw it out if it's sick.

You don't raise it.

This is such an important time. Why should

Congressman Choi take you when you are a defect?

The number you have dialed is unavailable...

(Menthol)

You don't have to take me home.

Oh, I'm on my way to the convenience store anyway.

It's fine.

I saw the news.

I'm a little worried.

Oh, it may sound strange for me to say this...

Actually, it does sound strange to me as well.

About that time...

Thank you.

Oh, your hand? You got hurt because of me.

- Of course I should... - No.

That's not it.

Pardon?

Never mind, if you don't remember.

Oh, the canned coffee, right?

Do you remember that?

That was a year ago.

It was my first time...

To get comforted by a stranger.

Let's have a meal together one day.

You said you were thankful.

If you mean it, let's have a meal together.

If you feel uncomfortable...

Alright, sure.

Really? You mean it?

Yes. Let's have a meal together.

So how about this Saturday?

I don't have work that evening.

Okay. This Saturday.

We are here.

Then...

Good-bye.

A pack of Menthol, please.

It's not nice to see girls smoke.

I guess you can afford to smoke.

What a bum.

Does she want to die?

Excuse me...

One pack of Lite, please.

(Menthol)

Why are you so late? Today, I have to...

What are you doing right now?

You don't smoke.

(Menthol, Menthol)

A pack of Menthol, please.

One pack of Lite, please.

(Lite)

(Menthol, Menthol)

Why do you keep calling?

I saw the articles online.

Don't worry. I'm taking care of it right now.

I shouldn't have listened to you, Yoonki.

What?

I should've turned myself in then.

Why are you saying this now?

Then, you should've taken care of it on your own.

You shouldn't have dragged me into this from the start.

- If I turn myself now... - Darn it!

Then what about me?

Jungi, I...

I understand that you are anxious

but if you keep talking rubbish like that...

Why should Congressman Choi

take you when you are a defect?

Give me a chance to make up.

Make up?

What can you do in this situation?

- Yoonki. - It'd be perfect if another person dies.

What?

Well.

If another incident happens right now...

I think I can work it out somehow.

The role of a female police officer

is not simply assisting the work but

in crimes against children and women...

Excuse me, were you at a funeral?

What's with the long face?

Let's try it again.

The role of a female police officer...

Excuse me...

The man who works here...

You mean Uhyeon?

Yes. I don't see him these days.

All ready.

There was another murder in Noryangjin.

Yoonki.

Do you know how I feel right now?

Can I also get a pack of cigarettes?

It's $9.50.

Would you like a plastic bag?

No thanks.

I feel like I'm a defect.

A defect that can't even be...

Repaired.

So you are a political reporter now?

Congratulations.

Give me a break.

You know, Director Jo...

There's a rumor that he's going to be

the spokesperson for the ruling party.

Oh, really?

They said you knew about it.

No?

(No Progress with the Noryangjin Serial Murder Case)

(Reporter Heo Yoonki of KBC)

(My little brother)

Can you be quiet?

Who are you?

I live next door.

Are you aware of the two murder cases

that happened in Noryangjin?

Yes, I am.

It's assumed that the two cases were

caused by the same culprit.

If you were investigator in charge,

what do you think should be the top priority

in the current situation?

Since the place of the incident is a populated area,

securing witnesses is the top priority.

You pounded on the wall for me to be quiet, right?

Yes.

So what?

Are you here to argue about that?

You can hear it well from the room next door, right?

What?

I see.

I missed that.

You've applied 9 times until now.

Is that correct?

Yes.

If you fail again this time,

are you going to apply again?

Ms. Lee Eunjae?

(Successful applicants, 62)

What about dad?

Is he happy?

Of course.

He keeps asking if it's true.

He's freaking out.

So when are you coming home?

Right after I finish packing.

Eunjae.

You worked hard.

Police charter, one.

A friendly police officer who respect...

Second, seek truth in the name of justice...

Wait a second.

- Wait. - Help me!

Please save me! Help me!

Seek truth in the name of justice...

And not compromise with any injustice or illegality.

A righteous police officer...

Do you go to Bundang, sir?

Yes, sure.

Get in.
