STRANGER

STRANGER

Mr. Park is dead.

Si-mok is the one who found the body first
and arrested the suspect.

What if Mr. Park told him everything
before he died?

If I open my mouth, he might get
buried alive in a matter of seconds.

I will never die alone.

-How did you get into the house?
-Somebody opened the door from inside.

-Who?
-How would I know?

I have stolen things,
but I would never kill anyone!

He insists that the real killer
must have let him in on purpose

to frame him for the murder.

Can you think of a counterclaim
that can refute everything at one blow?

Decisive evidence
that the victim was alive at that time.

The defendant is denying clear evidence

and not reflecting on what he did.

So, I hereby sentence
the defendant to 22 years in prison.

How dare he think of prosecutors
as a safety net?

-Don't you think he had a reason?
-So what?

A robbery murder
committed by a third party.

A third party? It sounds like you think
there is a second party involved as well.

Someone was being threatened.

The prosecutor altered the evidence

and turned me into a murderer.

Locate Jin-seob Kang's whereabouts
immediately. He can't be alone.

I would like to report that prosecutor
who disgraced and tortured me

through my death.

I plead my innocence through my death.

I... I did not kill him.

I'm the prosecutor who called earlier.

So, what happened?

TRUE CORRECTION FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

It was already too late when we got there.
There was nothing we could do.

-I would like to see him.
-Sure.

It was after our evening roll call,

and there weren't any signs.

He tied his prison uniform
on a window bar and hung himself.

He was obviously very determined.

The prosecutor altered the evidence

and turned me into a murderer.

It is suicide.

The letter you received.
Could you tell me what was written...

It is not a letter.
And there was nothing about this.

I see.

-Thank you for showing me.
-No problem.

"Thank you for showing me?" Goodness.

How can he say such a thing
about a dead person?

Jin-seob!

Why did you send it to me?

Why did you send the letter of appeal?

Are you that prosecutor?

You killed him.

You killed Jin-seob!

Why didn't you stop him? Please answer me.

Bring him back to life!

You must have read it.
You knew he would take his own life!

All right. Your husband told you
to do it, didn't he?

What exactly did he tell you to do?

I bet he promised you that you and his son
wouldn't have to worry about money.

You must have sent it because he said
he had prepared a way

you can support yourself
and that you must cooperate.

Did you get a large sum of money recently?

Did you accept it knowing that you got it
in exchange for his life?

Are you saying

I sent that letter because I got paid?

-Sir!
-Please answer me.

Answer me if you think
he died an unfair death.

It is unfair.

It is so unfair
that it is making my blood boil!

It is utterly breaking my heart because
I think it is so unfair and enraging.

Calm down.

What exactly did your husband say

when he asked you to send that letter?

He told me
that he just wants to scare them.

He said he is not actually going to die.

How am I supposed to live now?

How can he die and leave me all alone?

I think that's enough.

Please take her to him.

Is she putting on a show?

It is possible.

But that was murder. Now, it is suicide.

Why didn't he take everything with him
if he was hired to do the job?

Why did he try to plead his innocence?

The prosecutor altered the evidence...

What made him so convinced?

VIDEO ANALYSIS LAB

Excuse me.
I need to bother you for a minute.

Well, I'm done for the day.

I was about to leave.

Those things you see in TV series
are obviously not realistic.

In reality, this is the most
you are going to get.

Plus, it is not even a frontal shot.

It is barely within the frame.

I don't think we will get anything
even if I keep trying.

Is there a chance that this part
could have been manipulated?

Manipulated...

It doesn't seem so.

Yes, it is the original footage.
It wasn't manipulated.

There are so many CCTVs and dash cameras
these days that my work never ends.

Even with this, that wouldn't have been
captured if the angle was a little off.

This is driving me nuts.

Why did he let that woman handle it?

DNA ANALYSIS LAB

Yes, sir.

Yes.

I will leave right away.

What is the Truth
Behind the Huam-dong Murder Case?

Do you know how many calls I got?

How dare a murderer try to threaten
prosecution with a letter like that?

He died.

Are you sure?

I just checked.

Was the interrogation coercive?

-No.
-Were any of the procedures inappropriate?

No, sir.

Was the evidence fabricated?

No, it wasn't.

Did he lie right before he killed himself?

It sounded like he was very sure of it.

I checked it multiple times.
It wasn't fabricated.

The police should have been turned
upside down, not us.

You arrested him and got the evidence.
Do you now realize what you have done?

You ran over there
just because Mr. Park called you?

You're screwing me over in many ways.

I apologize.

Mr. Park told me

that he joined hands with you.

You ran over there
just because Mr. Park called you?

I see you are trying to screw me over
in many ways.

You knew you would get screwed over.

Why didn't you stop me?

FIVE MONTHS AGO

Smile a lot, okay?

Don't let him think you are easy.
Smile a lot

and act cutesy. Got it?
You are good at things like that.

You should keep smiling.

-Okay? Go in.
-Yes, sir.

-You are from the western office.
-Yes.

Welcome to Hansung Seorak Resort.

For everyone
from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office,

we reserved our rooms with the best view
on the tenth floor.

Great, thank you.

For everyone
from Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office,

we reserved our rooms with the best view
on the tenth floor.

Mr. Seo.

Hey. Have you seen Mr. Lee?

No.

Gosh, he needs to give an opening speech.
Why isn't he picking up his phone?

Sir!

-Hey, is everything ready?
-Yes, sir.

Great. Good work.

-Goodness, you look great.
-Look who's talking.

Cut it out.

You know Prosecutor Seo, right?

-I'm Dong-jae Seo.
-Goodness. You are very handsome.

-Thank you.
-He is the ace of my team.

-He is handsome and stylish.
-He also knows how to have fun.

Please move your car.

YONGSAN POLICE STATION

Goodness, you look great. This is
the head of Yongsan Police Station.

Goodness, sorry. We meet again.

-I'm Lieutenant Yeo-jin Han.
-Where is the evidence room here?

Pardon? Why...

Is it for a re-investigation?
Are you re-investigating the case?

Why? Is something bothering you?

Are you worried
because of the letter of appeal?

You are the one who should be worried
as you ruined everything.

What are you talking about?
I didn't ruin anything.

You handled everything alone.

I guess Sergeant Kim hasn't told you yet.

About what?

He seemed to be stressing out
over the DNA test results.

What DNA...

What do the results say?

Why are you asking me when you are the one
who put in the request?

What did Sergeant Kim say?

Tell me exactly what he said.

"This is driving me nuts."

Goodness, this is driving me nuts.

Why did he let that woman handle it?

"Why did he let that woman handle it?"

What?

-Wait.
-That's all I know.

It is not about that.

Excuse me.

Goodness.

Goodness!

What was that about? My gosh.

Lieutenant Han.

-Yes.
-Have you seen Sergeant Kim?

Is he back?

I was actually...

Detective Seo said he saw him,
but I can't find him.

We are heading out
to that barbecue restaurant to...

I see. Right now, I can't join you
because...

-Don't drink too much.
-All right.

How did you know that?

EVIDENCE: VICTIM'S CELLULAR PHONE

Why do you keep ignoring me?

Is this it?

I'm the one who called that cable company.

RECENT CALL HISTORY

SI-MOK HWANG

Then, what is this?

Did he call you to meet up?

What was it about?
You won't answer me again, will you?

LCJ?

LCJ?

Is it someone you know?

Mr. Park told me

that he joined hands with you.

I'm asking if you know this person.

Moo-sung Park called this person
after getting off the phone with you.

Do you know this person...

I asked you if it's someone you know.

Goodness.

I have a hand too, okay?

Who is this?

I would have gone through this phone first
had the case not been closed abruptly.

The number you are trying to call is
not reachable. Please...

WESTERN SEOUL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Mr. Kang, the suspect of the Huam-dong
murder who was detained

at Southern Seoul Detention Center,
committed suicide

-Why do they always say it's unfair?
-by hanging last night.

-I mean, he did it.
-Due to dashboard camera footage,

-But that is extreme. Isn't it crazy?
-the act of crime was confirmed

-Who? Lieutenant Han?
-but he kept denying it

-Yes.
-and was sentenced to 22 years.

No, Your Honor. I...

-Hello.
-I didn't do it.

That must be fake. Why are you lying?

He was already dead when I got there!

Claiming that the evidence was fabricated,

Mr. Park sent a letter of appeal
pleading his innocence

-Hey, turn it off!
-through his wife.

-I'm already sick of it.
-Hence,

prosecution's investigation process
has been brought into question.

Prosecutors are getting all the blame
for what happened with that case.

That should happen occasionally.

Salute.

What happened with the test results
yesterday?

What results?

What happened with the DNA analysis
of the bloodstain found in Huam-dong?

That thing.

The bloodstain

wasn't from human blood.

It turned out to be dog blood.

But...

He seemed to be stressing out
over the DNA test results.

"This is driving me nuts.
Why did he let that woman handle it?"

-Okay.
-All right.

All right. Let's get this done fast.

In there. Hey, hurry up.

Put them down gently, please.
Every page is the result of my hard work.

Hey, Si-mok.

What are those? They are
for the special prostitution crackdown.

I see.

What about the media briefing?

I'm heading there now.

You will become famous
as a pretty prosecutor after it airs.

Just remember what I taught you.

Pick a spot and keep staring at it.

Faltering eyes make you look unsure.

Also, don't move your hands too much.

I will put those tips to good use.

You got this.

Eun-soo will join
my special crackdown team.

This is how junior officers
should be mentored.

They are not here to clean up your mess.

I see. Is that so?

We need law for making sure
everyone cleans up their own mess.

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

Firstly,

I would like to express my condolences
on the unfortunate loss.

However, the claims made
by the late Mr. Jin-seob Kang

are completely groundless and fabricated.

We, the prosecution, would like
to inform all citizens

that we strictly followed
the Rules of Evidence

and that no fabrication
or questionable behavior

of any kind took place in our proceedings
or during the trial.

Thank you.

It is Moo-sung Park's blood.

His blood was found
at a totally random spot.

Mr. Kang struggled
with confinement itself.

He had made a suicide attempt
even while serving his previous sentence.

Hence, as I mentioned earlier,

we can confidently assure you
that connecting his death

to Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
is completely unreasonable.

How will Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
handle the situation?

Is there anything else
you would like to add?

Does that mean his case is closed?

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

SERGEANT KIM

The evidence.

That footage we watched right here
during Jin-seob Kang's trial.

Didn't the prosecution manipulate
the image?

Why did you go to the victim's house?

What is your relationship with him?

Why is Sergeant Kim involved in this?

Why are you bringing him up?

Why is he trying to conceal the culprit
by lying about the test results?

Answer me.

Are you sure you don't want to hear about
what I have found out?

Moo-sung Park was like a sponsor
to many power brokers.

He supplied them with money,
women and so on.

Then when he became penniless, he got
nothing but disrespect and contempt

in return for everything
he has done for them.

What do you think happened after that?

Are you saying he got killed
because he threatened those in power?

Also, one of them must be the culprit?

Sergeant Kim knows about it too.

Mr. Park wanted to see me that day

to disclose a corrupt deed to me.

Sergeant Kim smirked when I said to him
that I know Mr. Park personally.

-Why?
-He must have thought I took bribes.

If he had known nothing about Mr. Park,

would he be able to connect
an unemployed man in his 50s

who was found dead in a shabby, old house
to bribery right away?

Does that mean he was bribed too?

No.

He is far below the level.

He couldn't tell me his first impression
of Mr. Park, so he must not have met him.

It must be someone who is higher up.

What? How can you think
the police would do such a thing?

Are you implying someone

who is high up killed him and told those
in the lower ranks to conceal it?

How dare you disgrace
the police like that?

Last week, a detective who is specialized
in financial crimes

got caught by us because he was
scamming people using his specialty.

That

is different from this.

Mr. Park's laptop which was
in his bedroom is gone.

It was collected at the scene as evidence.

Did you see a laptop
in the evidence collection box yesterday?

It is not even on the police's
evidence list for the case.

Someone must have tried to find a list
of those bribed by Mr. Park as instructed.

If the laptop is returned later on,
no one would know that the list is gone.

There is a list?

Now, it's your turn.

What have you found out?

RESULT

ALL 11 FOUND IN BOTH SAMPLES
RH+ AND BB FOUND IN BOTH SAMPLES

Where did you find the blood?

The house behind his place.

Jin-seob Kang didn't even go there.

Someone else must have left
the bloodstain there.

The culprit is someone else.

You are not even surprised.

Did you already know about this too?

Did you know everything?

Is that why you charged
a random person with...

Who fabricated the evidence?

Was it you and the prosecutor
who presented the case?

Did you actually make that footage
to frame Jin-seob Kang?

The footage.

Where are we going?

Mr. Hwang.

Hey, what's your problem?

Will you be okay? Should I drive?

Now, there is no way
that clip is telling the truth.

It was fabricated.

They got me.

They got you?

Are you saying the culprit is
the one who fabricated it?

Who would go through all the trouble?

Why would someone do such a thing?

Where exactly did you find the bloodstain?

Hey!

You prick.

Thank you for this.

You are returning it just now?

By the way, isn't this that man?

The man who took his own life in jail.
It has been all over the news.

By the way, why is your car always here?

Is it always parked here like this?

This is a narrow alleyway.
This is the only way it can be parked.

Since when has it been here?

What do you mean? I was off today

after working for days in a row.

You weren't off on January 16, right?

From the dash camera footage, it looked
like it was parked here all day long.

-That...
-Did you get caught drinking and driving?

-You couldn't work that day, right?
-What are you talking about?

Some jerk reported me for refusing him
as a passenger.

I had to pay a fine of 400,000 won
because of that curly-haired bastard.

Curly hair?

His hairdo made him look
like an old woman. He was drunk too.

When and where was it?

When exactly in January
did you get reported?

It was right by Yeongdeungpo Station.

The date was...

Anyway, I think my license
got suspended on January 13.

January 13?

All right.

That man, seriously.
I bet he repels people wherever he goes.

Sir.

On the day of the incident,

did you see anyone walking by
behind this house?

Was anyone climbing over the wall?

Even if someone walked
in front of the house,

I wouldn't remember it now.

Right.

If you remember anything,

please give me a call. Thank you.

It is that house.
That is where I found the bloodstain.

If you see this,

it's one of those gate spikes.

Mr. Hwang.

This must be why he climbed over
the gate instead of entering through here.

That one isn't working.

How do you know?

It is an old model that only works
when the red light is on.

The culprit must not have known
that it is not working.

Had he been that clueless,
he would have walked right into the house.

Then, he would have been captured
on the dash camera.

How did he know about that?

He must have checked the area beforehand
and saw the taxi with a dash camera.

He even calculated the angle,

yet he couldn't tell
that this security camera is dead?

It's possible that he only thought
about what he saw.

That spike over there.

That is where I found the blood.

He must have jumped
from there to over here

and probably went that way.

That was discarded there
after the incident took place.

What he used to prop himself

must have been picked up that week
by a recycling collection truck.

I'd have found his traces had I come here
to collect corroborative evidence.

It was right in front of my eyes.

We could have found witnesses
if we asked the neighbors right away.

Can you find out who reported
the taxi driver?

Who?

The man he refused to take?

Do you think he might be
connected to this as well?

Because it happened on January 13?

Somebody made him get his license
suspended three days before the incident?

-It can be.
-What are you talking about?

Then, the man who reported him must be
the killer or an accomplice at least.

The victim was caught on the dash camera.

The killer managed to calculate everything
so Jin-seob Kang looks like the culprit.

No. He would have had to break
the victim's TV before that.

Then, he got on that cab
out of countless cabs in Yeongdeungpo

and picked a fight only to report him.

Also, he somehow made a prosecutor
find the footage

and use it as evidence.

Do you think that is possible?

We should check.

Is this Yeongdeungpo Police Station?

The traffic division, please.

The door opened 11 seconds
after the doorbell rang.

Someone who is right-handed.

A shallow stab wound on his side.
The knife brushed against his arm.

His neck. The fatal wound.

Hello?

In total, 37 seconds.

That must have been enough time

for Jin-seob to come into the house
and witness the murder.

It is possible
that the murder took place first.

What if Mr. Park was killed first,

and the killer let Jin-seob in?

Please don't kill me.

It still doesn't add up.

Then, there is only one scenario left.

When the doorbell rang,

he'd already been killed.

What are you doing?

You are not Moo-sung Park.

Who are you?

What were you doing?

So, who reported the taxi driver?

You mean the curly-haired man?

Is it someone who actually exists?

Yes, I spoke to him on the phone.

I confirmed his identity.

Put it down.

Why did you go through
the call history of a dead person?

Because I refuse to be used.

Used?

If I didn't come here at that time

and had the investigation
not been closed prematurely,

we would have been able to find
traces of the real killer.

Are you feeling guilty?

To the killer, was my coming here
a lucky coincidence

or could it also

have been a part of the plan?

If it was part of the plan,

the killer had to have known
that you would be coming here

on that day and at that time.

Hang on.

Immediately after getting off
the phone with you,

the victim spoke to someone named LCJ.

Then, LCJ could be...

He is the deputy chief prosecutor.

Pardon?

Does that mean the deputy chief prosecutor
tried to shut the victim up

and helped the real killer get away?

Now, he can take me down all he wants.

There is evidence to prove
that the apprehension itself was unjust.

You arrested him and got the evidence.

Do you now realize what you have done?

Is that what he meant?

Isn't he just below the chief prosecutor?

Why would he do such a thing?

He must have committed
some serious corrupt deeds.

I wonder too.

You don't know either?

He is not aware of the fact
that I don't know.

You should strike first.

He is the person behind this murder case.

It is still just a speculation.

He is just one
of the many potential suspects.

Let's go.

Wait.

If Jin-seob Kang just happened
to come here at that time,

it is possible that they wanted
to frame you for the murder.

Had you arrived just a few minutes
before he did,

you might have made
the exact same claims as he did.

That someone let you in,
and the victim was already dead.

Then...

Because I refuse to be used.

That is what you meant
when you mentioned being used, right?

We don't know anything yet.

Just like how we can't see anything
at the moment.

We just have to

turn on the light.

We will find out.

To whom should I report this?

It is not like I can go directly
to the superintendent.

Your superintendent
and the deputy chief prosecutor

are friends.

These people are not scared
of the criticism they would face

for driving Jin-seob to death
by wrongly accusing him.

They must have been relieved
that their sponsor wasn't revealed,

but they are probably back to being
all anxious thanks to you.

They want to bury it as soon as possible
regardless of how it's done.

There is no such thing as a perfect crime,

but we both know
that there is a ton of unsolved cases.

Letting a killer get away
wouldn't even be a big deal to them.

The entire Violent Crimes Unit
will be thrown upside down.

We caught the killer
and put him behind bars.

Then, he took his own life and made sure
to let the whole country know.

Now, we have to overturn
what we said and tell everyone

that he is not the killer.

So, do you want to bury it away
like Sergeant Kim?

What about you?

Will you be okay if this breaks out?

Me?

It will affect you the most.

Our job is to find the truth, isn't it?

The truth, which could have been
buried completely,

was scooped out by you
right before it got buried away.

You must not let this situation decide

whether you will bring it to light or not.

What kind of person is Yeo-jin Han,

and what kind of life has she led?

That is what it depends on.

Please drop me off over there.

What kind of person is Yeo-jin Han,

and what kind of life has she led?

That is what it depends on.

Convict Who Committed Suicide

Turns Out to be Innocent

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

When my wife gets back,
tell her that I will be home late today.

You must remember the convicted murderer
of the Huam-dong murder case

who committed suicide
while serving his sentence.

While many of us are still shocked
by his death,

the recently raised possibility
that he wasn't the actual killer

is creating a big stir.

As Mr. Kang's claim
that he did not kill Mr. Park

has been confirmed to be true,

it is said that his claim
in his letter of appeal

that the prosecutor in charge tampered
with the evidence might also be true.

While public criticism is directed
at the police and prosecution

for only admitting their failing
after Mr. Kang's death as well as

for the poor quality of the investigation,

the failure of the investigation
means that the case has again

become an unsolved mystery.

I did it for us.
For all of you, my colleagues.

People already think the police

are incompetent and that our
preliminary investigations suck.

I thought many of us might lose our jobs
if this got leaked.

You could have waited
until we caught the killer.

Couldn't you wait?

If you care that much
about your colleagues,

you should have told us
so that we could investigate together.

How can you say it is dog's blood?

-Do you think you are making sense?
-Shut it!

Do we look like big jokes to you?

How dare you go ahead and disclose
what we were investigating to the media?

Also, you. Have you lost your mind?

Why did you keep
such important information to yourself?

Did you want to catch the killer
and become a hero?

Why are you being like this now?

I wouldn't have done it
if nothing had happened to Jin-seob Kang.

But he died, and apparently,
he is not the killer.

What was I supposed to do?

Are you saying you wanted people to think

that he is the killer
because he is dead anyway?

Will he come back to life
if that is not the case?

Will he resurrect
if he can clear his name?

He killed himself
because of the false accusation.

Think about how he must have felt
for him to hang himself

when he even has a child.

He is not the only one who feels that way.

Every prison is filled with people
who are wrongly accused.

-Only morons would do something like that.
-Hey.

Shut it.

How can you say

such a thing as a member
of the police force?

You two are equally out of line.

You two are both suspended.
You are not allowed to do anything.

I don't even want to see you two!

Get out!

Goodness.

What?

What?

-Chief, have you...
-Have I what?

Never mind.

Please give me the laptop
you removed from the scene.

-Sorry?
-The laptop you took from the scene.

Why are you keeping it?

What are you talking about?

You returned to the scene and took it.

I know everything,
so just give it to me, please.

Well, it's not like

I did it out of greed.

I just forgot to register it as evidence
because I have been swamped.

I have my own laptop right here.

There is nothing in there.

PROSECUTOR HWANG

Is this Kowane?

Hello?

Nothing.

I got Moo-sung Park's laptop.

I think it is his son's.

There was no computer in his son's room.

-Pardon?
-It doesn't make sense

that there is no computer
in a youngster's room.

He must have used it
since his son was away in the military.

Anyway, I will take it
to the Cyber Investigation Unit.

I will ask them to recover
all the deleted files.

There is probably nothing important
as the culprit left it.

He is really something.

He didn't even ask me if I'm okay

when he obviously knows
how things are now.

Goodness, what a character.

By the way,

why didn't he take this laptop if it was
because of evidence for bribery?

I mean, he went through every nook
and cranny of the house.

Did he open this
after he killed the victim?

-She is here!
-There she is.

The prosecutor is here!

-Did you really fabricate the evidence?
-Is it true?

When was the bloodstain found?

-Say a few words.
-Did you know?

Are you aware
that people call you a murderer?

-How do you feel?
-Please say a few words.

Are you okay?

Isn't Mr. Il-jae Young your father?

Does he know you tampered
with the evidence?

Get out of my way.

You are looking so confident
after putting your mentee in a total bind.

Is Mr. Seo...

He is not here at the moment.

I put wrong documents
on his desk by mistake.

Could you tell him that I stopped by
and picked them up?

Sure.

INVESTIGATION REPORT ON PROSTITUTION

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Mr. Hwang is here.

What?

What are you doing here?

Well...

I thought our documents got mixed,

but this isn't mine. My apologies.

Why would your documents be here?

You were obviously peeping at it.
Don't lie to my face.

Is it important enough for someone
to sneak in and peep at it?

I didn't know.

You prick.

Hey, if you have energy
to waste like this,

just go tell the truth.

Be a man and tell everyone who made
Eun-soo go through the public humiliation.

Okay, I will.

That piece of...

Hey!

What were you looking for?

Why were you going through my stuff?

What are you two doing?

Why would you do that here?

Take it outside since there is
a ton of reporters there.

Go let the entire nation know
that Criminal Division Three is messed up!

-I apologize.
-I apologize.

So? Did he see it?

No, do you think I would let him?

-I don't think he saw it.
-You think?

He didn't see it, sir.

But

he went through my office
right in front of my eyes.

He practically declares war against us.

Who's responsible for bringing us
the public criticism?

Please fire him immediately.

He won't have anything to say
as he has dug his own grave.

An internal investigation
has been scheduled.

From fabrication and concealment
of evidence to use of coercion,

everything will be questioned.

Will we be able to get rid of him
without lifting a finger then?

What are you talking about?

All of us will be screwed
if Si-mok opens his mouth.

This should have ended with Jin-seob Kang.

Is there any way we can avoid
the investigation?

The Inspector General has to be
extremely cautious at the moment,

yet we hit him with this big news.

Do you think he will do it for us?

Then, what should we do about it?

"Clamor in the east, attack in the west."

If we target Si-mok directly,
he will counterattack.

Eun-soo Young presented
the case in the trial.

Her face is now known as well
due to the media briefing.

It is unfortunate, but we will have
to hold her accountable.

But it is not even her fault.

What about Si-mok then?
Will you just leave him like that?

Anyhow, have you found anything yet?

I'm doing my best
to track her down, but...

How many girls will you have to catch
in order to find any trace?

Did I put you in charge of it
so you can strut around with girls?

I apologize. If she is not a working girl,
it will be harder to find her.

Mr. Park brought her to me.
She must be a working girl.

I will find her soon.

Please give me a little more time.

Tell Si-mok to come to my office.

Yes, sir.

She is a murderer.
She's the one who killed him.

She's not a prosecutor but a murderer.

Hi, Mom.

Mom, what is wrong?

Why are you being like this now?

Why would Dad die?

I will be there shortly, okay?

-Yes, sir.
-Come to Taehwawon.

TAEHWAWON

-Jajangmyeon, please.
-Sure.

I'm sure you know Mr. Lee.

This is Mr. Yoon.
You have seen him around, right?

You will be
under an internal investigation.

I see.

Did you know about it?
The decision has just been made.

No, I didn't.

He's always like that.
You'll get used to it.

I bet it will turn

into a disciplinary hearing.

-Do you feel that it is unfair?
-No, I don't.

Shall I order sweet and sour pork for you?
This might be our last meal together.

Don't be so petty.

Get him the seafood dish.

Seafood dish, my foot. Why should I?

Do you have something to say?

No. What do you mean, sir?

Why are you asking me?
You know what I mean.

I really don't know.

Here you go.

Eat.

Are you slow-witted or rude?

Just let him eat.

As you say.

Please excuse me for a second.

Hello?

Yes. Sure.

I apologize. It looks like
I need to get back to the office now.

Goodness.

We shouldn't have let him know after all.

Do you want some?

You can have it all.

Did you want to see me, sir?

I guess you were outside.

Si-mok.

Yes, sir.

An internal investigation
has been scheduled.

Right.

At least one person will be let go
to placate the public sentiment.

Dismissed civil servants
can neither work at law firms

nor open their own law practice.

What will you do?

I know that you bought
your apartment pretty recently.

You must have had to take out
a huge loan for it.

You know that I'm aiming
for the Inspector General badge, right?

I'm waiting for the announcement now.

That vacant post

will be mine.

It is 99 percent confirmed.

Congratulations, sir.

Congratulations to you too.

As your direct supervisor,

who will be the next Inspector General,

I will make you the head
of Criminal Division Three.

You said at least one person
would have to be let go.

I did.

Will it be Eun-soo?

What do you think of Dong-jae?

Was it eight years ago?

Because he couldn't give up
his bad habits,

Dong-jae hid an important piece
of evidence until the end of a trial

and got in serious trouble for it.

Do you know what he told me back then?

He blamed it on his trainee.

He said his trainee was unresponsive
no matter what he said.

He told me he wondered if we hired
a man with some brain problems,

and I believed him.

But do you know?

That trainee who was thought to have
brain problems turned out to be

the smartest person in our office here.

I saw something interesting
in the trial records.

What a coincidence that Dong-jae was
the one who dropped off the footage

during the trial.

All right.

The ingredients are ready.

What do you say?

What do you want to cook with them?

Extreme Incompetence Shown
by Prosecution and Police

You ought to be different.

Unlike someone we know,

you should protect your mentee,
don't you think?

What do you mean by that, sir?

Eun-soo is the one
whose name is on the line.

If you are going to be stubborn,

you will have no choice,
but to get fired with her.

Listen.

I don't know

Mr. Park.

Got it?

Room 1018 at Hansung Seorak Resort.

Shall we say you don't know
anything about it either?

I will think you understood what I said.

The head of the criminal division
isn't good enough.

I like this office.

Please give me this position.

Is this what you wanted ultimately?

Are you also desperate
to move up the ladder?

I will follow your path, sir.

Please lead the way.

Then, what?

Please guide me.

STRANGER

Moo-sung got a threatening call
a day before he was killed.

Do you think he is the killer?

The man Moo-sung last met on that day?

He used an office phone
not to expose his phone number.

-He's still a suspect, not the killer.
-Why did he have to kill the dog?

-Are you the one who killed Mr. Park?
-No, sir.

There's only one way to turn this table.

Look for a scapegoat for this.

Where were you at the time of the murder?

If I'm humiliated by this in any way,

I'll bring you down first.

If you blow the whistle on me,
things will get ugly for you too.

I'll catch the killer no matter what.
I'd rather get fired.

This man... He is the killer.
