EPISODE 12

SHIM BO-YEONG

It's okay to leave her here, right?

This land can't be developed.

It's been that way for 5 years.

What could happen?

Even if something happens,

it'll be nothing but dirt by then.

BLACK OUT- SNOW WHITE MUST DIE

That day at the warehouse.

Were you there too, Chief?

Why?

Did you find my fingerprints in Goh Jeong-woo's car?

FINGERPRINT ANALYSIS REPORT

The NFS report...

...determined that the murder weapon used for Shim Bo-yeong...

...was a shovel.

And fingerprints were found on it.

Is that so?

It was Shin Min-su's father,

Shin Chu-ho.

Did you kill her? When Bo-yeong was alive?

Get his gun!

Ha Seol! Please stop him.

It was Goh Jeong-woo, that bastard, who killed Bo-yeong.

Kill him for Bo-yeong, okay?

- Shoot him now. - Shut up!

Got it.

Secure the situation and...

- ...begin the investigation immediately. - Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Mister.

Please calm down.

Jeong-woo,

I haven't done anything for Bo-yeong.

All I did...

...was buy her this $2 bracelet.

Bo-yeong loved that bracelet, Mister.

She's looking down on you from heaven.

Please stop.

Calm down.

It's okay.

It's okay, Mister.

I'm fine.

And everything will be fine. So please put down the gun.

I'm sorry.

No! Mister!

Mister...

Mister...

Mister, Mister...

Mister...

A clean cloth, anything.

What do we do?

Honey!

Honey...

Ketua Tim Noh.

As you know, I was Goh Jeong-woo's late father's best friend.

As you know, I was Goh Jeong-woo's late father's best friend.

Yes.

Chief!

There's been a shooting in Mucheon Village.

I think it's a murder.

What?

- Hurry up and get over there. - Yes, sir.

Mister...

Mister, that day in the warehouse...

Gu-tak...

- What did you say? - Gu-tak...

Mister.

Gu-tak...

Mister.

- Honey... - Mister...

Mister!

You need to tell me who was in the warehouse!

Honey!

Open your eyes.

Tell me who was in the warehouse that day...

Mister!

That day...

Wake up!

Keep your promise and take responsibility for my son.

This is all your doing.

I'm going to tell Gu-tak everything.

What? Are you crazy?

Hey, watch the road!

Damn it.

Why did you have to say that nonsense?

What do we do?

This is driving me crazy.

Hey! A car! A car's coming!

What's going on?

Geez, those old people...

Shouldn't we tell Gu-tak that Bo-yeong was alive?

If Gu-tak finds out, he'll try to kill us too, you idiot.

Let's tell Gu-tak...

...about the accident and the abandoned school.

And how you killed Bo-yeong...

Hey, you moron!

Get it straight, okay?

I could kill you right here and now.

What are you waiting for?

Wipe your prints.

Hurry up and wipe them.

- Damn it. - Okay...

Hey.

About what happened today...

Do not tell another soul.

What...

Got that?

Okay.

Are you sure?

Yes.

What's going on?

- Hey, that's... - What do we do?

What are you doing? Hurry up and get out.

I said to get out.

The number you have dialed is unavailable...

Honey... Jae-hee...

It was Chu-ho.

H-He's the b-bastard who...

...who killed Bo-yeong.

He fooled us for 10 years.

So I...

BO-YEONG, I MISS YOU I avenged our Bo-yeong.

The bastard who killed Bo-yeong...

I...

I killed him.

Bo-yeong...

JAE-HEE Now...

She can rest in peace.

Get up...

You have to get up.

You can't die.

Who was it?

Check over there.

How is he?

Goh Jeong-woo, did you kill again?

Bo-yeong's dad killed my dad!

He said he killed his daughter...

...and shot him with a shotgun.

Listen carefully, he wouldn't have gone far,

Team 1, search the area and strengthen the checkpoints,

- Ketua Tim Noh. - Yes, sir?

Let's go to Shim Dong-min's house together.

Yes, sir.

MUCHEON GARDEN

It's Dong-min.

Hyeon Gu-tak, come in alone.

If anyone else comes in,

I'll keep shooting like crazy...

...until you kill me.

Alright.

I understand.

Dong...

You can't do this.

Chief, at least wear this.

- It's too dangerous. - It's okay.

Dong-min, I'm coming in.

What is this all about?

Why did you do that to Chu-ho?

Because he killed Bo-yeong.

What?

Oh, I see.

Okay.

I understand how you feel.

If Chu-ho really did that to Bo-yeong,

I think I understand how you feel.

But you should've told me first.

Dong-min...

In situations like this, there are extenuating circumstances.

And I can help you,

so put the gun down and let's talk.

You knew, didn't you? You had to have known.

The great Chief Hyeon Gu-tak.

I didn't know.

I didn't know!

You're really shameless, aren't you?

I called you here to kill you.

Put the gun down.

Tell me... Just tell me the truth!

Put it down and let's talk. Come on.

What did I do for you to treat me like this?

What did I do?

Oh, was it helping with Bo-yeong's tuition?

Buying her a uniform when she started school?

Sending her on that field trip?

Why?

Are you mad because I did that instead of her own father?

I don't understand why you're doing this!

I wasn't helping Bo-yeong's mom, I was helping you,

my junior, Dong-min!

I was helping Bo-yeong!

Go ahead, shoot.

I couldn't protect Bo-yeong either.

And I couldn't even catch the criminal.

Shoot.

You're her father, so it's okay.

Go on.

Shoot.

Situation over.

This is all your fault.

Sorry?

You ruined everything, you bastard! You!

Because you botched the investigation,

it led to all of this!

How are you going to take responsibility for this? Huh?

But...

Get back to the station right now, lock yourself in your office...

...and just wait there.

Don't run your mouth,

And don't go wandering around, got it?

Team Head Noh, go and arrest Yang Heung-su and Shin Min-su right now.

Why did you kill Shin Chu-ho?

Because...

...he killed my daughter.

I was carrying out justice.

Justice isn't a word you use after killing someone.

How did you find out?

Why does that matter?

It's the truth.

No, I'm asking how you found out.

Wait...

How do you have this?

Yang Heung-su said he was with him and saw him do it.

Shin Chu-ho, that bastard, called us all to Mucheon Garden.

We drank for a long time.

We were together, I remembered it...

...so there was no way for me to suspect him.

Even after Bo-yeong died, the person who was the kindest to me...

...was Shin Chu-ho.

Shin Chu-ho, Yang Heung-su.

Who else did you drink with?

Gu-tak.

Hey, Dong-min.

Why are you bringing up Chang-su?

Life is funny, isn't it?

You know it.

No matter how hard you try to crawl up in status,

you can't beat Chang-su.

And Geon-oh will never beat Jeong-woo.

Hey, hey.

Gu-tak, Gu-tak.

Chief Hyeon was there.

Gu-tak could never get a promotion...

...because he aligned himself with the wrong people,

so we'd always get together to drink.

Yeah. We were together.

I can finally die in peace now. However,

I feel so sorry and guilty towards...

...Geum-hee, Chang-su and Jeong-woo.

Team Head Noh,

I did that...

...to Geum-hee.

I did it in a fit of anger.

So add that to my crimes.

I'm not ashamed of killing Shin Chu-ho.

But...

With Geum-hee...

I...

I...

- Byeong-mu. - Yeah.

This was the best I could do.

I know.

There's no evidence to hold the chief accountable.

So there's no choice but to stick with him.

He promised...

...to have you released on probation.

We'll have to wait and see.

As long as this bastard keeps his mouth shut.

Hey, Shin Min-su, look at me.

Look up.

Don't you ever say anything about the chief.

Even after you're taken by the prosecution,

don't think that you're out of the chief's reach.

It's already all over for me.

So why should I lie?

What about back then with Goh Jeong-woo?

Did we not say anything then because we didn't know anything?

Even if Goh Jeong-woo really killed both of them,

he wouldn't have been locked up for 10 years.

But look,

it was the chief who set it all up for him to go in for 10 years.

So please get it together, you moron.

If you and I get unlucky,

we'll just end up with longer sentences.

They could even add things like contempt of court to our charges.

So what do you want from me?

My father is dead...

Stop crying!

Shin Min-su.

In the worst case,

you'll end up dead like your dad.

Chang-su and his wife were going on a trip,

so Chu-ho invited me and Dong-min over to raid their fridge...

...and cook something for us.

So we closed shop and ate for a long time.

Dong-min got drunk as usual and left first.

Chu-ho and I kept drinking...

...when we got a call.

From the boys.

We ran over to the warehouse, and it had already happened.

Chu-ho quickly sent the boys somewhere...

...and told me to put Bo-yeong...

...into Jeong-woo's car trunk.

Who was there at Mucheon Garden that night?

How many times are you going to ask?

Chu-ho, me, and Dong-min.

Shin Dong-min claims that Chief Hyeon Gu-tak was also there.

Why would Chief Hyeon be there?

Dong-min, that punk, always got drunk first...

...and never remembered anything.

Chief Hyeon never hung out with us.

He was really close with Chang-su,

so he'd sometimes come when Chang-su was there.

Chief Hyeon didn't respect us...

...because we were poor and we didn't even graduate college.

You're so saying you witnessed Shin Chu-ho murder Shim Bo-yeong?

Yes.

When we got to the abandoned school in Cheonsu Village,

I opened the trunk and...

Bo-yeong was trying to utter something.

I was so relieved and suggested we take her to the hospital.

But Chu-ho, that monster...

He bludgeoned Bo-yeong's head...

...with the shovel.

Over and over again.

- Let's go. - Okay.

Okay...

Sit down.

Yes, sir.

- Team Head Noh. - Yes.

You can question me too if you need to.

Just tell me at any time.

Of course I should.

Alright.

But Chief,

where were you at the time of the incident?

Former Chief Inspector Lee Jae-sik called me downtown.

He's at the Northern Police Agency now, so you can confirm it with him.

Anything else?

MUCHEON POLICE STATION

Jeong-woo.

I want Goh Jeong-woo.

I've liked Jeong-woo for a long time.

Please help me out.

So that Jeong-woo can...

...leave Mucheon for good with me.

Me?

How can I help?

In this world,

there are many cold cases where...

...the culprit is never found.

I don't want the doctor to suffer.

I just want Jeong-woo...

...to sever all ties with Da-eun...

...and everything that happened...

I want Jung-woo to be by my side forever.

And I'm sure you want that too.

At 12:38 today, at a restaurant in Mucheon...

- Congressman. - A man committed murder with a shotgun.

The culprit, Mr. Shim, was the father of Shim Bo-yeong,

the victim of the Mucheon Missing Body Murder...

...from 11 years ago. He suspected the deceased, Mr. Shin,

who was a close friend,

of murdering his daughter...

...and enacted revenge after an argument.

11 years ago, the Missing Body Murder case was closed...

...with Mr. Goh being sentenced as the culprit.

At the time of the incident 11 years ago,

there were clear errors...

...in the preliminary investigation by the detective in charge.

He failed to identify the actual culprit...

...due to bad judgment.

I sincerely apologize to the public...

...and the victim's family.

Damn it.

Goh Jeong-woo.

Goh Jeong-woo is the culprit.

He must be.

Ji-yeon! Have you been well?

Long time no see.

Now you recognize that this case is strange, right?

- Ji-yeon? - Yes?

Let me ask you for one more favor.

- What now? - One of the victims,

Park Da-eun, transferred to Mucheon from Seoul.

And I heard her grandmother is still alive.

Now I can just meet up with her.

But can you find out where she hung out...

...or if she has any friends still in Seoul?

Are you actually trying to subcontract the Investigation Unit?

Yes.

Thanks.

Yes, Congresswoman.

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

A few days ago, I toured the west coast.

I was thinking deeply about how to revive

Gyeonggi's lagging economy...

...when I noticed how beautiful the sunset was and took some photos.

My secretary thought they looked wonderful and printed them for me.

But I found another photo among them.

I thought it might belong to you.

I guess I wasn't the only one who wanted...

...that case closed quickly 11 years ago.

It must've tormented you.

But now,

you want to reopen the case?

My Su-oh is a talented artist.

Sorry?

I'm not sure what he saw...

...but if he did see something that night,

I wasn't the only person he saw.

This is a gift for you.

It's the original.

Congresswoman,

as you well know, Su-oh is mentally unwell.

So whatever he draws from his unwell imagination...

...couldn't be evidence or used to threaten anyone.

Oh, there's one more thing I'd like to give you.

I've been holding on to this for quite some time now.

But I'm unsure what to do with it.

Congresswoman,

this is all just circumstantial evidence.

The investigation 11 years ago was based on circumstantial evidence...

...and that is why we're having all of that commotion in Mucheon now.

We can never let that happen again, right?

Looks like you and I have lots to discuss today.

I want to go to Suwon too.

Once I become governor, you can join me as the Head of Public Security.

Within a year, you'll be promoted to commissioner,

then senior superintendent, then chief superintendent.

It'll be quick and guaranteed.

What do you think?

Gosh.

Just hearing you lay it out is really exciting me.

But first,

please handle that case.

I'm listening.

Then I'll have to replace Su-oh's primary physician first.

Are you upset?

No, sir.

It's all because of my shortcomings.

I'm deeply sorry.

It was a mistake.

We make mistakes all the time, don't we?

But this mistake is too big.

There are so many holes that there's no way to cover them all.

At times like these, it's best to quickly acknowledge everything...

...and fix things one by one.

But what I just don't understand is...

How did Shin Chu-ho kill her at the abandoned school with a shovel?

I mean, there was definitely blood...

- ...on the farming machinery... - Hee-do, Hee-do!

I know, okay?

I understand how you feel.

We couldn't even find the body, so why would we care about some shovels?

I understand.

But that's just an excuse at this point.

That's not all.

You failed with the car accident witness testimony.

I don't know.

I'm not even sure anymore whether the bloody shoes you reported to me...

...were real or not.

Anyway, my point is that they will all cause issues.

Can you endure it?

Sorry?

The internal inspection will soon begin. Can you handle it?

What is this?

You need to resign.

It's a security company in Jeju.

They can match your housing and salary.

Once the investigation starts and the disciplinary process begins,

you can't even resign.

Hee-do,

I don't want to see the junior that I cherish the most...

...be interrogated by young brats, get disciplined,

and be dishonorably discharged from the force.

If you resign then, you won't even have anywhere to go.

So resign now.

Once you do,

I'll take care of the rest.

And I'll deal with the internal inspection myself.

I can take the disciplinary action.

This is the very last thing I can do for you.

Let's do that.

You're home?

Huh?

Are you going somewhere?

I saw the press conference.

The case is being reopened, right?

Yeah.

And I'll do it right this time.

I'm going to focus on nursing my mom for the time being.

The nurses are really good to her but it bothers me that I'm not there.

That sounds like a good idea.

But Jeong-woo,

I feel uneasy about you.

A shotgun?

And Shin Chu-ho and Yang Heung-su orchestrating all of this by themselves?

It's too perfect.

Let me see your phone.

Right now.

Why?

There's an app where we can link our phones...

...and we can always check each other's locations.

What's this?

What is it?

Do you already use this app?

You location is linked to Choi Na-gyeom's phone.

GOH JEONG-WOO, CHOI NA-GYEOM

There.

I've linked our phones using another app,

so always carry your phone with you.

Okay.

Alright then. Let's go over this one more time.

Choi Na-gyeom is definitely in love with you.

But even so,

she's way too obsessed with you and this case.

There's a lot she's hiding too.

Look here.

On the day of the incident,

Shim Bo-yeong, Yang Byeong-mu, Shin Min-su...

WITNESS? SPECTATOR? ...and Hyeon Geon-oh were in the warehouse.

And this isn't for certain but according to Ha Seol's assertions,

Hyeon Su-oh was also somewhere in the warehouse.

And when we look at Hyeon Su-oh's drawing,

Choi Na-gyeom was somewhere in the warehouse that day.

But then why did she give evidence at the police station the next day...

...saying she wasn't there at all?

She's cheating on you, you know that?

You're being fooled by Da-eun.

What do you guys know about Da-eun to talk like that?

Why are you badmouthing her?

Do you even know where she is right now?

Get out.

Just get out!

Get out!

Oh, no. Sorry about this.

If it breaks, you'll buy me a better one, right?

I guess you're right.

My number.

Get a grip!

No one knows that we're here.

Let's move Bo-yeong.

Jeong-woo...

Jeong-woo...

Da-eun, please tell me if I did anything wrong.

I'll change.

So please just call me.

CHUNGJU WEEDAHM INTEGRATIVE HOSPITAL

Geum-hee...

I'm so sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

What can I do?

Please wake up.

Please wake up and let me pay for my sins.

Geum-hee...

It wasn't Jeong-woo.

It wasn't your son.

Your son didn't do it.

Geum-hee...

Please stay alive.

Please live with your son again.

Geum-hee...

The Central Party is asking if you must hold the ceremony in Mucheon.

They're suggesting Suwon or Uijeongbu instead.

They're suggesting Suwon or Uijeongbu instead.

Don't talk about hope.

Look at reality.

GYEONGGI GOVERNOR POLL SURVEY

Congresswoman, why don't you use Choi Na-gyeom?

How can an actor help in an election?

She's actually much more popular than you think.

Why don't you post something short on social media and watch the reaction?

Please help me out.

So that Jeong-woo can leave Mucheon for good with me.

I'm sorry. I messed up.

I should have paid more attention back then.

Even if you couldn't believe me,

you should've kept looking for the girls.

Bo-yeong was all alone, in the dark when she...

When you've been doing this for as long as I have,

sometimes there are cases...

...where everything comes together perfectly like a picture.

But that's the problem.

The picture is so perfect in your mind...

...that you even miss clear evidence that's right in front of you.

I think that's what happened with this case 11 years ago.

I should have paid more attention back then.

I should have dragged him to the doctor...

...to get his medical checkups.

I've really wronged you and your father.

No, uncle.

Thank you.

Jeong-woo,

you're like a son to me.

From now on, I'll be your father.

I hope you can think of me in that way too.

Okay?

Okay?

Just tell me if there's anything you need.

Got that?

But uncle...

Yes, what is it? Do you need something?

I still can't remember anything.

What?

Even if I blacked out...

I've studied a lot in here reading various books.

They all say that a person can't lose all of their memories.

That they would remember at least something...

Jeong-woo,

it's already been 9 years.

Why are you bringing it up again only to torment yourself?

You're only 30 once you get out.

30.

Once you get out, I'll do everything within my power to help you.

A job?

I can help you find a job.

No, you were a smart kid.

You can prepare to go to university again.

Whether it's living costs or tuition,

I'll ensure you and your mother have zero financial worries.

So you just focus on your life.

You're only 30 once you get out.

Section Chief Kim was just so certain,

and since he was a junior that I cherished,

I took him by his word too easily.

But this is just an excuse.

This is the only thing I can say to you right now.

Even though it's too late, I know the truth now,

so I'll do my very best to find the real culprit.

Once I find them,

I'll come and ask you and your late father for forgiveness.

And I will spend the rest of my life...

...repaying this debt to you and your mother.

Be with Bo-yeong on her final journey.

Why are you making him leave already?

Her mom is here.

I've already said my goodbyes to Bo-yeong.

Dong-min,

are you sure you're okay to leave now?

Yeah.

It was the day after the college entrance exam.

Besides Geon-oh, Deok-mi and me,

everyone else had failed their exams...

No,

It was a completely different voice.

It was a deep, soft voice...

...that sounded like a school teacher.

Gosh.

I've been trying so hard to forget that voice...

That man cursed at Da-eun,

calling her a high school tramp or something like that.

And Da-eun...

...said "Mister something,"

Oh, Detective,

please find my dear Da-eun. Please.

The Central Party will send a large support team,

so we'll only have the advance team go to Suwon today.

Yes, understood.

Yes, Congresswoman.

Chief, he'll be home soon.

Then I'll have to replace Su-oh's primary physician first.

So he'll take back my hostage.

You did great. I should've gone to pick you up.

Get out.

Look how haggard Su-oh's face is!

Is there anything you want to eat?

I made all the foods that you like.

How have you been?

Chief, why did you suddenly want Su-oh home?

I thought you knew...

My apologies.

I should have called you directly.

Oh...

- It's a good thing. - Yes.

Thank you for your hard work.

Hello?

It's me.

I took Su-oh home like you said to.

What should I do now?

Alright.

Because I saw everything that day.

Murderer.

I'll take care of it. Don't do a thing.

You can't resolve this!

Don't forget...

...the things I always say.

What's this smell?

The smell of youth.

There's so much dust in here...

It's a bit disgusting.

Doc.

I mean,

babe.

Come here.

Yeah.

How dare you...

...mock me?

You, of all people?

You filthy slut...

Stop acting up and just be grateful for what I give you.

Hey, you perverted old loser!

You're so scared of that great congresswoman.

You're the one meeting a minor in secret...

...and panting like a dog over her.

You disgusting freak.

Why you little...

You...

I've treated you too nicely.

I told you never to speak to me like that!

Hey, you bastard!

I'm going to report you!

I don't care. I'm going to leave here anyway.

I am goning to report and shut you down!

No!

Da-eun...

Da-eun, Da-eun?

Where are we?

My class president's warehouse.

Oh, the guy that has a crush on you?

Goh Jeong-woo...

Yeah,

Goh Jeong-woo.

Mucheon Garden.

Honey...

Looks like you've had a long day.

Explain this blood.

Honey, the thing is...

I always told you.

There are just three things you must not do.

Don't get them pregnant.

Don't do anything that money can't fix.

Don't do anything that'll end up on the news.

Is this that difficult?

I...

Silence!

Tell me every single thing that happened from the moment...

...you left home for work until this moment.

Don't leave out a single minute.

Hello?

Hi.

Goh Jeong-woo, I met Park Da-eun's grandmother.

What did Da-eun's grandmother say?

Hmm...

She said it's not you.

Of course, it's not.

A deep and soft voice like that of a teacher.

The suspect in Park Da-eun's murder case...

...is definitely not someone around Park Da-eun's age.

That's for certain, right?

She remembers clearly...

...It definitely could have been her sugar daddy.

I guess you'll catch him soon.

Thank you for your hard work.

Okay. Get home safe.

When did you come down here?

I got rid of those weird pictures.

I burned them all, so don't look for them.

Su-oh,

it's all my fault.

So you just have to forget.

I won't ask where you were that day...

...or who you saw that day.

Let's just forget it all,

okay?

Who did this, you punks?

How dare you...

I'm glad you're home.

Oh, right.

Geon-oh went back to America.

He wanted to travel somewhere.

Sorry.

I made you wait too long, right?

SNOW WHITE

Snow White's cheeks were still rosy,

as if she were still alive.

The dwarfs said,

"We can't bury the princess in the dark earth."

That is why the dwarfs built...

...a transparent coffin of glass.

Snow White lay in the coffin for years...

...but her body did not decay.

It just looked as though she was asleep.

Her skin was as white as snow. Her lips as red as blood.

And her hair as black as ebony.

BLACK OUT - SNOW WHITE MUST DIE

Why did you carry out the investigation like that...

...and ruin a young man's life?

You were in the warehouse that day, weren't you?

And you knew everything?

Of course I knew everything.

Since I saw everything.

They're going to investigate Park Da-eun's death.

They're investigating Park Da-eun?

Who was it?

Who ordered you to frame Goh Jeong-woo?

Let's play it safe.

Why? Are you scared?

Who killed Da-eun?

I have the video that shows how Da-eun died.

That phone contains video of Da-eun's killer.
