YONGSAN CHIEF OF POLICE

NOTIFICATION OF VIOLATION AND PENALTY

HANNAM INTERSECTION

VIOLATION OF THE SIGNAL

Hye-ran.

Hye-ran?

Tae-wook.

WALKING THE ROAD OF JUSTICE

Now that I have a lot of time on my hands,

I didn't know what to do.

What about you?

Oh, I just left something behind.

Oh.

All right.

Take whatever you need.

I thought you might need this.

Thank you.

What are you going to do tonight?

Do you want to eat together?

No, I want to rest today.

I want to read and listen to music.

All right.

You should do that.

Okay.

I'll be back after work.

HOPE

What's with you?

You should stop now.

My husband is dead.

It's been proven to be an accident.

You don't know how I've lived

for the past ten years.

What hardship I had to go through.

What humiliation I had to go through.

You don't even know what Kevin and I

had to go through, right?

An accident?

Don't kid yourself.

He wouldn't die that easily.

Proven innocent?

I can't accept it.

I won't ever accept that trial.

Will anything be any different if you don't accept it?

I'll make them suffer.

Even if Hye-ran tricks the world,

she can't fool me.

Even if the world forgives her,

I can't forgive her.

Hye-ran didn't do anything wrong.

It's always the people around her that misunderstood her all along.

You're such a fool.

You don't even know she used you.

Your youth is all gone because of her

and you still have lingering feelings?

Wake up, you idiot.

Hey.

KO HYE-RAN KILLED MY HUSBAND! SHE IS GUILTY!

What are you doing?

Stop it.

What if I won't?

What if I don't want to? What if I can't stop?

Are you threatening to kill me? Is that what you're saying?

Maybe.

What are you saying?

Dong-hyun.

It can't be.

Did you do that?

Ha Myung-woo, did you?

The first time is the hardest.

The second and third...

isn't as hard as you might think.

That's why I'm telling you to stop.

You're a crazy bastard.

Ha Myung-woo, you crazy bastard!

Yeah, I just left something behind.

It's a coincidence.

It must be a coincidence...

that he was passing by there at that time.

It's a coincidence.

Are you going to pay for it?

Yes.

All right, it's done.

Thank you.

Hello?

Is this Ko Hye-ran?

Yes.

This is the District Prosecutor's office.

I've called in a testifier for the murder of Kevin Lee.

Can you tell me your name?

My name is Kang Tae-wook.

Occupation?

I'm a lawyer.

Usually,

I'm a public defender.

How long have you been married to Ko Hye-ran?

It's been seven years.

Is your relationship...

stable?

On the day of the accident,

I heard you went to the broadcasting station

to meet your wife.

Is that right?

I did.

What time was it?

I met her right after the news...

so it must have been after 10:00.

Were you together for the rest of the evening?

I'm sorry.

I have to get to a meeting.

I need to get going.

No.

What time did Ko Hye-ran come home?

I don't know.

I had some work to do, so I was at my office.

That's where I stayed.

You stayed up all night in the office?

Yeah, he was there when I got to work.

He often stays up in the office when he has a lot of work to do.

What time did you go to work?

Well, it was when the morning news was on about Kevin Lee's accident.

It must have been a bit past 7:00.

The estimated time of the accident

was around three to 4:00 a.m.

The manager only saw him after 7:00 in the morning.

Mr. Kang, we have a call from the prosecutor's office.

It must be because of the rape case.

Mr. Kang.

I'm only saying this because I really love you.

You should just let it go.

Kevin Lee died in a car accident.

The court ruled it that way as well.

There was a guy that left the scene on the first subway.

No one knows if that was Kang Tae-wook or someone else.

That's exactly why we need to check

to see if it was Kang Tae-wook or someone else.

-I said we got a call from prosecution. -I know! I'm on my way!

BROOCH, EVIDENCE

Just sign your name and then you can take it.

May I just ask you one more question?

It's about that brooch.

Why was that in Kevin Lee's car?

Everything else has a connection, but I can't wrap my head around it.

Are you still...

suspicious of me?

What made me suspect you the most

was that brooch.

Why would that...

be dropped there?

Have you never thought about it?

Perhaps.

Do you ever recall dropping it as you were putting it away?

No.

Not in my memory.

That means you were wearing it when you got home.

Was there no one else

in that house other than you?

I think I told you when I testified.

That night...

I was the only one at home.

No one else was there.

I see.

Detective Kang Ki-jun.

You've already had two chances.

Once when you arrested me without a warrant and second with the court.

You weren't able to find any evidence on both occasions.

That's because we thought you were the prime suspect.

That was our biggest mistake

in this investigation.

That is why...

we couldn't catch the real culprit.

What do you mean?

The real culprit?

The person who made you into a prime suspect

but hid in the shadows of safety.

That person is close enough to get in contact with your brooch.

In some ways, that person may be closer than we think.

That is the real culprit.

TAE-WOOK

Hello, Tae-wook?

It's me, Yoon Song-yi.

Hello.

Are you with my wife?

-Yes, we are together. -Hey, do you know?

Hye-ran is paying.

Let's enjoy this meal.

All right, let's cheers.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

She gathered a few coworkers and reporters she works with

to have a few glasses.

Do you want me to get her?

No.

Don't break the mood of the party.

I'm relieved to hear she's with you.

Look at this guy.

You didn't drink anything from the start.

You've been scrawny ever since you started.

I'm just so full.

You're full?

-What will you do? -All right.

-All right, I'll drink. -Drink.

-Everyone, together! -Drink!

-Drink! -Drink!

-Drink! -Drink!

-I'll drink it for him. -What?

-Give it. -What's with her?

-What's going on? -What?

This is so strange.

Ji-won!

-They were always eating together. -Do you want to come?

The atmosphere is amazing.

I'm okay.

When it's over, please ask her to call me.

I'll go pick her up.

Oh, all right.

You're one lucky girl.

It's your husband.

He said to call him when you're done. He'll pick you up.

I don't get jealous easily,

but I'm so envious you've got Kang Tae-wook.

Me too.

Lawyer Kang Tae-wook is so cool.

Hey, let's have a fact check.

Is Kang Tae-wook more handsome or our Reporter Kwak?

Of course, Kang Tae-wook.

Oh... I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I also agree.

No, your opinion doesn't matter.

Ji-won, what about you?

Oh, this is so immature.

Did you just call me immature?

-You're so immature. -She just called me immature.

I spoiled her too much to the point that they just

look upon us seniors--

-Dae-woong. -Yeah?

When you drink with your juniors, stop talking so much and just drink.

Okay.

If you say so, then I'll listen to what you say.

All right, I get it.

Let's drink together. Here's to Ko Hye-ran!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

-Look at him. -I'm drinking up.

I told you he isn't drinking.

He didn't have any glass in front of him.

-I'm drinking now. -It's so strange.

I couldn't even drink because of you.

Why do I need to drive for a girl that already has a husband?

What's wrong?

Is there something...

going on with Tae-wook?

You're not going to talk about it?

I just don't get it.

Don't get what?

Who Kang Tae-wook is.

Ko Hye-ran.

Are you joking around?

What are you talking about? That's so random.

What do you mean you don't know who he is?

She drank herself senseless.

She just told everyone

to come out this afternoon.

She was telling everyone that she was going to buy the drinks.

As you can see, she ended up like this.

Maybe she just wanted to drink.

Tae-wook...

is everything all right between you two?

Did Hye-ran say something?

No, I was just curious.

Hye-ran.

Hye-ran?

We're home. Get out of the car.

Tae-wook.

I can walk on my own. It's okay.

Are you okay, Hye-ran?

No, I'm serious.

I'm really okay.

I'm fine on my own.

Did they fight?

Why would they fight when they won the trial?

It's okay. I'm fine.

I told you that I'm fine. That's enough.

I'm sorry.

I just...

want to be by myself. I'm sorry.

Was there really...

no one else in that house?

After making you the prime suspect,

the real culprit hid in the shadows.

You might be much closer

to this person than you thought.

That's who the real culprit is.

KO HYE-RAN KILLED MY HUSBAND! SHE IS GUILTY!

Good morning.

-Hello, Mr. Jang. -Yeah, good morning.

Hello.

My goodness.

Dae-woong.

-Dae-woong. -Yeah?

-Yes. -Did you stay up all night?

No, it's nothing.

The woman outside our building

that is holding the picket sign,

is that Kevin Lee's wife?

Yes.

They've tried to talk to her

and console her a few times, but she doesn't listen.

The court ruled Hye-ran innocent, so it's all over, but she won't stop.

-Wake up. -Of course.

What? Me?

Yeah, I want you to go outside and listen to her story.

You got a sample.

Mr. Jang.

I'm not in JBC anymore.

I'm asking you for a favor.

I also think it's a good source for the women's magazine as well.

What do you want?

What I want?

I always...

want news.

All right, thank you for this. Okay?

My goodness. If Ko Hye-ran finds out, she will be very mad.

I'm Yoon Song-yi, a reporter from a women's magazine.

A reporter?

It seems you have something to say.

May I hear you out?

Please. Drink up.

It must have been tough for you to stand all day.

KO HYE-RAN KILLED MY HUSBAND! SHE IS GUILTY!

I heard Ko Hye-ran's case was judged innocent in court.

May I ask why you're doing this?

At least I need to speak the truth.

That way, my dead husband can rest in peace.

What is the truth you're thinking of?

Ko Hye-ran killed my husband.

Is there a reason why...

you think that way?

Hye-ran's dash cam memory chip

was in my possession.

Are you talking about the chip

that went missing from Hye-ran's car?

Why didn't you bring that forward

for evidence for the prosecution?

Kang Tae-wook destroyed it.

What?

A so-called lawyer

destroyed evidence.

What do you think that means?

Did it contain concrete evidence

that Ko Hye-ran killed Kevin Lee?

There wasn't direct evidence.

However...

they were in the same car that night.

Something doesn't add up.

What do you mean?

Ko Hye-ran's brooch was found in Kevin's car.

If they were seen in Ko Hye-ran's car,

something doesn't make sense.

Well...

she must have dropped it

when she was moving to my husband's car.

Someone might have dropped it

on purpose as well.

Can you describe

what was inside the dash cam memory chip

that Tae-wook erased

in great detail?

REPORTER YOON SONG-YI

Yeah, what's up?

Well...

is everything okay with you?

Why?

Should something be going on?

Can you come out?

I could also...

go to your place as well.

What's wrong?

I have something to tell you.

I thought after being a star lawyer from Kevin Lee's case,

I thought we would eat much better,

but we're back to instant noodles.

We don't have the time.

That's exactly my point.

What's the use of becoming a star lawyer?

When we don't have clients, we don't have money.

When we do have clients, we don't have time. In the end,

we're back to instant noodles. How depressing.

I told you before. Success isn't that grandiose.

That's true.

I've been thinking...

we should just go back down.

Oh, Detective Ki-jun was here in the morning.

He didn't come to see me, but he was in the parking lot out front.

I heard you worked on the night of the 18th.

-Yes. -Do you remember what time

he returned to his office?

It snowed a lot that day.

Well, I don't really remember.

After torturing Hye-ran for so long, now he's going after you.

After it was pronounced an accident, why does he continue to pursue it?

There isn't a conspiracy behind this whole thing, right?

Don't worry about it too much. Let's just focus on our work.

Yeah.

REPORTER YOON SONG-YI

Hello?

Isn't this Yoon Song-yi's mobile phone?

Well, what is your relation to her?

I'm her friend.

-May I ask who you are? -This is the hospital.

Wait a minute. Where is the intensive care unit?

-That way. -Thank you.

You can't go see her right now.

We need to talk.

What happened?

The police think it was a mugging,

but the culprit didn't touch her bag or her belongings.

However...

did you talk to her on the phone?

She wanted to talk to me, so she said she would come over.

That's it.

What's wrong? Do you know something?

Well, to be honest, she went to meet Seo Eun-ju.

What do you mean?

Why would Song-yi meet Eun-ju?

I asked her to.

-Why? -She keeps accusing you with a sign

and keeps telling everyone that you killed her husband.

That's why I thought we needed to hear her story out.

Why did you ask Song-yi to do such a thing in the first place?

I needed someone that was on your side to go and hear her story

in order to ignore what needs to be ignored

and write only the crucial points.

I showed you everything. I told you everything.

What more did you want to know? What more did you want to dig up?

Did you pretend to be on my side but think that I killed Kevin

on the inside?

Is that why you sent reporter Yoon to Seo Eun-ju to see what she knows?

Hey, lower your voice. This is a public place.

You're making me mad right now.

To be honest, Detective Ki-jun

came over to the station.

He knows that Kang Tae-wook

came to the station to see you when you went to meet Kevin.

What about you?

Do you know how hard it is for me to bear with you?

Do you know how hard I'm trying to understand you?

What about it?

What does...

Tae-wook coming to see me that night

have anything to do

with Kevin Lee's case?

By removing Hye-ran from the picture,

I'm trying to infer the prime suspect.

Are you saying that it's Hye-ran's husband?

What if he came to see his wife and he saw her with another man?

What if he saw Hye-ran and Kevin meeting in a remote place?

Coincidentally,

Kevin Lee turned up dead.

If Ko Hye-ran isn't the culprit,

who would be the prime suspect?

Are you even listening to yourself?

-It's not as crazy as it seems. -No.

I don't think it makes any sense.

Kang Tae-wook would never do that.

No one is immune to anything.

More often, people who seem to be innocent are the ones

that are able to do horrible deeds for themselves.

You should know that yourself.

You're the one that charges

people like them on media.

Just what if...

I don't want to think about it either,

but if Kang Tae-wook killed Kevin--

-Mr. Jang! -It's a plausible possibility.

Do you want us to become strangers?

-Hye-ran. -I dare you to say one more word.

I will never see you again.

I won't treat you like a human being.

We need to go and talk.

We have nothing to talk about.

What did you talk about with Song-yi?

Why are you so curious?

Right after she met with you,

she got attacked on her way to meet me.

She is unconscious in the hospital.

What did you talk about?

-What could you possibly talk-- -Kang Tae-wook.

Your husband.

We talked about your husband.

Also, we talked about what I saw in the dash cam chip.

Honestly, I thought you killed Kevin.

I thought that was why Tae-wook erased

the contents of the dash cam, to protect you.

However, Reporter Yoon...

thought differently.

What did...

Reporter Yoon say?

It's a bit strange.

Why did he erase that feed?

If that goes public,

the fact that Hye-ran and Kevin

were having an affair would be proven.

That's what he was scared of.

Of course. But...

it could've gotten her out of being a murder suspect, right?

What do you mean?

Ko Hye-ran told Kevin Lee

that she wanted to remember him as someone she once loved.

If she said that,

why did she kill Kevin Lee?

Hye-ran tried to console Kevin.

Exactly, but why?

Why did she have to say such lies

and console your husband?

Wouldn't it be because she wanted to

end their relationship quietly?

If that's the case,

the dash cam feed would be

advantageous to Hye-ran in court.

There's no way Tae-wook, a lawyer, wouldn't know that.

Why...

did he erase it?

Isn't it strange?

That's why I thought to myself...

just maybe...

if word got out about your affair, the person who wouldn't be able to bear it

is not you, but Kang Tae-wook.

-No... -Kang Tae-wook

put priority on covering his humiliation

rather than proving his wife innocent.

That's not who he is.

That's what you want to believe.

Those emotions...

I know what it feels like.

However, Kang Tae-wook...

is also a guy filled with jealousy.

He just wanted to present it more gently, no?

You...

do you want to torture me that much?

You can do it as much as you want.

However...

Kang Tae-wook...

don't you talk about him and make things up.

He...

He...

took me in

and put up with me.

He understands me better than I do.

He was always on my side.

Don't you dare slander him.

He's not someone you can talk about like this.

Don't you dare talk about him.

Is that so?

He was that important to you,

but you made him into a murderer. Again.

Just like Myung-woo 19 years ago,

you did the same to your husband.

Right?

I don't need to do this anymore.

You look miserable enough.

That's right.

There's something you should know.

When Reporter Yoon left me, she didn't leave to see you.

She left to see someone else.

Yes, are you busy?

Can we talk a bit?

Yes, Tae-wook. I'll see you there.

All right.

Are you curious what happened to her?

Why don't you ask your husband?

If you want relaxation, you can look for resorts or villas.

-If you want a tour-- -We don't want a tour.

We just want to relax.

When do you want to depart?

When is the earliest date possible?

Just give me a second.

Let's travel.

Travel?

We've never gone on a trip for the last seven years.

You even asked for vacation days, so why don't the two of us

go somewhere and rest?

All right, let's go.

Where would be a good place?

Where do you want to go?

A warm place.

I want to just rest without thinking.

I want to hear the waves.

Sounds good.

Somewhere no one knows us. Somewhere we can be alone.

Yeah, sounds good.

I think you can depart this weekend.

There's only four days left until the trip.

Should I register for the hotels and the plane tickets?

Please do.

Please give me something for headaches.

Here you go.

BROOCH, EVIDENCE

That brooch.

Why was that...

in Kevin's car?

EUN-JU

Was there no one else in the house?

It's a present for my wife.

My wife is pregnant.

I couldn't go in for the audition while I was pregnant.

They would never use a pregnant anchor.

She dropped it when we were together.

We were too busy to pay attention.

Your brooch...

Kevin told me

to give it to you.

CREDIT CARD STATEMENT

COAT AND SHOES

No...

It can't be.

No.

It can't be.

No, it can't be.

No.

No.

Hye-ran.

Was it you?

No, right?

Tell me it wasn't you.

It wasn't you.

You would never do that.

Tell me.

It's not you, right?

Let's go away.

Some place no one recognizes us.

Kevin Lee.

Did you kill him?

Hye-ran.

Tell me.

Kevin Lee, did you kill him?

Tell me. Tell me. Did you kill him?

Yes.

Kang Tae-wook.

You...

What have you done to me?

I...

killed a person.

The real culprit showed up.

Nothing is your fault.

Everyone is living their own lives.

This is all your fault, Ko Hye-ran.

It was you.

Everything started from you and not Hye-ran.

Didn't Tae-wook say anything to you?

Tae-wook isn't like that.

He didn't murder anyone.

My wife? Family?

You've got to be kidding me.

Where are you?

This is the truth.

You were...

my love.
