"Murder"
Kurt Godel, born 1906 in Austria
publishes "Incompleteness Theorem" in 1931
causing a sensation in the mathematical community
He was a good friend of Albert Einstein's
And, you're saying that you're living the same life of this Godel?
He suffered from obsessive fear of being poisoned
and only ate the food prepared by his wife
and, eventually starved himself to death
Is that why you refuse to eat?
To be like him?
This book you wrote, "Parallel Theory"...
Do you think the idea of "Parallel Life" makes any sense?
It's just coincidence!
"Elected to Congress in 1946"
"Elected to Congress in 1846"
"Elected President in 1960"
"Elected President in 1860"
"Kennedy's Vice President, Johnson"
"Lincoln's Vice President, Johnson"
"Both Presidents� names have 7 letters"
Parallel Life
Pursuant to the ruling of the trial court,
there was no evidence of the alleged victim being alive
since disappearing 2 years ago
The defendant openly displayed strong hatred
towards the alleged victim
and, there was compelling circumstantial evidence
linking the defendant to the crime
However, without the alleged victim's body,
we cannot conclude that she is in fact, dead
Because even with 90% probability
if there still remains 10% doubt,
the court cannot uphold a murder conviction
I hereby announce the court's ruling
We find the defendant, Kim Doo-jong, not guilty
What kind of justice is that?
What about my poor daughter?!
Where is the justice for my daughter?
- Good job - Thanks!
Read through the Sohn case file and
brief me on the main points
Yes, sir
About the murder case... If it's 90% probable,
doesn't that mean that he's the killer?
What you need for a judgment is 100% certainty of objective facts
Not a likelihood or subjective certainty
The press will go wild about the ruling
What about Yoon-kyung?
She's already here waiting for you
Next, we would like to present the presiding Judge of 2nd division,
Mr. Kim Seok-hyun
As of January 5, 2009,
Kim, Seok-hyun is appointed as the presiding Judge of Seoul High Court
Lee Cheol-hee, Chief Justice of Seoul High Court
There were certain skepticisms about the timing
and his relatively young age and years of experience
but the reason why the judiciary chose Kim Seok-hyun
was a demonstration of strong will to reform the judiciary
to re-establish the respect and authority of the court
Whether it's lodged by the DA or the defense attorney,
he dismissed every single one of their appeals
I thought this one had some guts
And isn't that what we all would love to do?
Here, here
I thought he could be a big fish with me watching his back
I figured that out quickly and made him my son-in-law
I had the Professor Sohn case summarized
Good job
- Why did you come alone? - Pardon?
You said you had a blind date Didn't you bring her with you?
Did you have a blind date?
Kids, be careful! Stop running around!
Ye-jin! Let's get you changed
- Ye-jin! - I'll take her
Ye-jin?
Ye-jin!
You must be so pleased
Appointed as the youngest presiding Judge,
a beautiful wife... It's a picture perfect
Who are you?
I'm the reporter assigned to the Sohn murder case
I was curious to find out about the judge assigned
to this high-profile case
I see...
Did you know...
that you're currently the youngest presiding Judge
but not the first?
Excuse me?
Judge Han Sang-jun
He was appointed as a presiding Judge
at your age on precisely the same day 30 years ago
Really? He must have been as impetuous as I am
Isn't that the prosecutor in charge of the Sohn case?
He's been staring at your wife...
Prosecutor Lee Kang-sung?
You two were in the same class at Seoul National University...
That's right...
- Judge Kim Seok-hyun? - Speaking
Congratulations, sir
The appointment ceremony was today, wasn't it?
- Yes. Thank you. - What a life!
Who is this?
For some, everyday is a living hell
whiles some get a major promotion
and celebrate the night away
What a perfect little world!
Your daughter looks adorable
Ye-jin!
Didn't I tell you not to touch daddy's stuff?
You think you can get away with a smile?
Come here
Wait
I've been hearing things about you
Daddy!
I don't know who said what about me...
You know what you've been up to!
We'll talk about it later
Your honor,
I thought you won't be working
so much now that you're promoted
- What about Ye-jin? - She's in bed
Your father didn't seem very happy when he left
- What was it? - It was nothing.
I've never seen him so steamed up
Maybe after your mother passed away...
Please look at me when we talk
I gotta finish this today
Maybe I'll let you if you be a good boy
You were great today Thanks, honey!
You must be tired Get some rest
You're no fun at all
Hurry up and come to bed
I won't be too long
This book you wrote, "Parallel Theory"...
do you actually believe it's possible?
It's just coincidence!
What are you doing? Sit down!
Get back to your seat!
A coincidence is mathematically impossible
What are you doing?
But, he and I have the same fate
- You won't die. - Quiet
Godel never killed anyone
Because our lives are exactly the same!
"Parallel theory"
"Parallel lives of Lincoln and Kennedy"
Born with the same fate. Two people living in parallel
"Lincoln was elected President in 1860"
"Kennedy was elected President in 1960"
"Lincoln's Assassin: JW Booths, born in 1839"
"Kennedy's Assassin: LH Oswald, born in 1939"
"assassinated by a firearm"
But,
he killed his wife
he should be taken into custody for the sake of public sentiment
Who's the prosecutor in charge?
- Lee Kang-seong. - Lee Kang-seong...
Are you all right?
Kids these days...
It would be bad politics to go
against the prosecution office
- I'll always remember that - Sure
It's great up here
This is Mt. Acha...
No, actually... it's Mt. Yongma
Mt. Acha is the one over there
They were all called Mt. Acha back in the days
I don't understand why they tore them up with different names
Congratulations, your honor...
It's your first case as the presiding Judge
I can't do this without your cooperation
We'll get warrant for Sohn, right?
Shouldn't you do a psychiatric evaluation first?
It's all but a scam!
He's pretending to be insane after killing his wife
Don't put too much emphasis on the arrest
The principle of investigation is non-detainment
What is this?
You asked me to get some sandwiches
Did I?
I must be losing my mind with everything going on...
- Would you like a drink? - Thanks!
What do you think about that book?
The "Parallel theory"?
I thought it was load of bull at first
but, the Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences
are hard to dismiss as pure chance
The year they got elected to congress and to Presidency,
even the place they were
assassinated are freaky matches
Still, nothing but coincidence
Only too uncanny! A history repeating itself...
That would make life no fun
Fate is what I make of it
"Judiciary needs to restore public trust"
There's still more left?
Dad tells me to take more care
He says "more stress with bigger responsibilities"
Here
Drink up It'll get cold
Oh, well...
- Hello? - Hello, Judge Kim
Who is this?
What don't you have a guess with that bright head of yours?
What do you want from me?
What do I want?
I want to have your family shredded into pieces
into tiny little pieces, you son of a bitch!
Open the door!
It was a climber who discovered the body
Looks like the body was moved after the murder
There was no splatter of blood
We'll find out more after an autopsy
No autopsy!
I can't let them cut her up into pieces! No autopsy!
But, in order to confirm the C.O. D...
There won't be an autopsy
Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!
Daddy!
Wake up!
Mommy!
Don't cry, honey
Uncle Jung, daddy hates me
That's not true
Daddy loves you so much
Are you hungry?
Let's get you something to eat
Well...
We may have to put out a public search for the suspect
I know it's a big favor but try to avoid going public
I have much to owe you already
but, I always wanted to have a prosecutor in the family
My family wasn't good enough for you
That's not true, sir
My daughter...
Yes, sir
Never mind
What do you think you're doing?
The body found in Yongma... It was your wife, wasn't it?
Why did you decide against public search for the suspect?
Is mommy dead?
How could you?
I'm sorry
Daddy!
Your honor!
Judge Han's wife was murdered, too
30 years ago On the same day
What a catch!
Good job, partner! Look at these pictures
What are you doing?
Hey, where are you taking it?
I'm so sorry I hope you can forgive me
"Reporter, Nam Ga-hee"
- Is that you? - You recognize my voice
Track the caller!
Who the hell are you?
Why are you doing this?!
You really don't know?
- I don't, you son of a bitch! - Language, Your Honor...
Don't get heated up so fast I haven't even started, yet
Tell me! Why are you doing this?
You wanna know why?
My life got fucked up thanks to your ruling
How much longer do we need?
20 seconds
I'll never let you get away with this!
How dare you hurt a judge's family!
I'm going to make you feel the same pain!
I'll make you pay!
That's not the proper way to talk for a judge now, is it?
My life is already fucked up
There is nothing that I can't do now
We got him!
Just remember this...
that this is just the beginning
Yellow is a sweet color
But, that's what makes them noticeable, you know?
- Good morning! Nursery - This is Ye-jin's dad
Could you put her on the phone please?
She's out on a field trip today
A field trip?
Open the door!
- Who are you? - Mr. Kim!
Ye-jin! Ye-jin!
- Ye-jin! - Daddy?
Get ready for a stake out
Yes, sir
- Did you get them? - Yes.
These are rulings from your recent cases
Thanks!
Why don't' you just leave it to the police?
He holds a grudge against me
There's gotta be something here
We're connected
Mr. Lee
Hello?
It's me, man!
You got no-one else calling you!
Listen, I got so drunk last night...
- It's me, Jung-woon - Yes.
I have more cases What do you want me to do?
Bring them to me
Last night...
You know, the park around the corner from my house...
I found these two chicks there and got their numbers
I ain't kidding, you know?
Give him some money and tell him to get lost
You just woke up?
Take your lazy ass out and find yourself a job!
I'll grab some chicken takeout
You want fried or marinated? Half each? Okay
Over here! Quickly
You're so full of shit!
- It's for real! - You serious?
How many times do I have to tell you?
If you stand here like this...
Somebody will come and give you ten bucks?
I told you I wasn't lying Just wait and see
I'll kill you if it's bullshit
Just wait up...
You said he'll show from here
I see nobody!
Are you using the phone?
It's a match
Shouldn't you get some rest?
God damn it!
They could all be suspects
I really believed that the rulings were fair at the time
but looking back, they're full of error
Look...
He looks like the guy we saw on Yongma mountains
Turn around
I said turn around!
Fuck you!
- Get him! - Get him!
Get him!
...and made a call to Judge Kim
Say it!
We got you on a surveillance camera by the phone booth around 9:00pm
You killed Bae Yoon-kyung and dumped her body that day...
We got a confession We've got evidence here
You still have hard feelings from last year's trial?
Seok-hyun,
I'll take care of things here
Go home
Don't get heated up so fast I haven't even started, yet
Kang-sung...
can I see the statement?
What are you talking about?
When he called me two nights ago,
he didn't seem to know about Yoon-kyung's death
Here, it says he buried her body
and took the ring from her left finger
She was left-handed. She wore her rings on the right finger
But, he confessed!
And it wasn't a forced confession under duress?
Kim Seok-hyun!
The motherfucker who killed Yoon-kyung...
I'm just as angry about him as you
Just leave this to me
Hello?
Your honor, they got the killer today, didn't they?
Leave me alone
The man that killed Judge Han's wife
got arrested today 30 years ago
On January 17th
I was doing some research on you for an article
Like Prof. Sohn's Parallel Theory,
the parallels between you and Judge Han are too uncanny
"professor poisons his wife"
"I move as my fate dictates"
"I didn't commit a murder...
but was destined for murder"
Coincidences are mathematically impossible!
He and I have the same fate
Because our lives are exactly the same!
Judge Kim?
I read your statement thoroughly
From birth to growing up, your academic achievements,
even the fact that you both sought exile...
there seemed to be a lot of parallels in you and Godel's life
But, according to your book,
for the theory to stand
the dates and result should match at the least
which means you must die of starvation today,
the same day Godel died
But, you're still alive
You proved your own theory wrong
Red eye
Pardon?
Red eye
Red eye...
Red eye?
How did you manage to become a judge with a brain like that?
Why did you poison your wife?
I never poisoned her She put the poison in my food
I only switched it with her food
You're still making excuses
It's not an excuse...
It's a fate and there is nothing you can do!
It must be so easy for you
You can blame everything on fate
I can't do that.
Because you make your own fate
That's why I feel it was my fault
that my wife was murdered
Subtitle by Aldi Arman
What?
Professor Sohn... really?
C.O.D. Was cardiac arrest due to malnutrition
He basically died of starvation
And the time of death?
7:00am this morning
7:00am...
this morning...
But, it's 19th today
- Red eye - Red eye...
Doesn't red eye mean...
It's the time difference!
He meant bloodshot eyes from the time difference
Seok-hyun!
Are you being serious?
You know you're starting to sound like the crazy old man...
You said yourself that Lincoln and
Kennedy coincidences were uncanny
I meant, for a coincidence!
The time difference...
Godel and Sohn's significant dates
were all a-day-apart
They were in fact, the same dates
They did live identical lives
till the day they died...
How did I miss that?
So, you're gonna find out how much
your life resembles Judge Han's?
Our lives have too many parallels 30 years apart
Even the fact that Yoon-kyung died
So, you have the parallels, so what?
They already got the killer!
What if Jang wasn't the killer?
Maybe I can find the real killer by looking into Han's past
Han's father passed away on the day of appointment?
Father!
The motive for the crime wasn't evil
but considering that it was his second offense,
I sentence
the defendant to 1 year imprisonment
My daughter will die if I go to prison!
She's got no-one to look after her
Show mercy, your honor... Please!!
- Hello! - Hello, sir
I have a question for you...
Do you know anything about Judge Han's murder case?
I heard you studied law with him...
People seem to be asking questions about him lately
Do you know about the case?
He was threatened by someone Who in the end killed his family
That's all I know
Yoo Hyun-sung made the threats?
Yoo Hyun-sung...
was that his name?
What are you saying, bastard?
You were at Judge Kim's house that day, weren't you?
Does that make me the killer?
What were you doing there that day?
You're driving me nuts!
Are you playing games with me?
Bring Kim Seok-hyun here
What?
Killer, Yoo Hyun-sung
Jang Soo-young
"1979.1.9 wife Koh Eun-hee murdered"
"1979.1.12 Mt. Acha..."
"2009.1.12 a body found in Mt. Yongma"
"we're in need of a trustworthy judiciary"
"1979.1.25 Han's family murdered"
"Killer Yoo Hyun-sung, Jang Soo-young"
What are you doing, honey?
I'm cleaning up Yepi To make her pretty again
Good girl!
You're a big girl now, aren't you?
Who's going to clean me now?
You're late
I dropped Ye-jin off at my in-law's
Why?
We had an intruder at home
Are you sure about that?
I don't know
But, there was someone there
Are you sure? I mean, with everything that happened lately...
Do I look crazy to you?
I hope I am mistaken, too
"Rulings 1979 #2"
Han Sang-jun,
Han Sang-jun...
Excuse me...
What's in that room?
It's a restricted area, so I don't know for sure
But, you can't gain access without a clearance
There was a reporter who applied for access but she was refused
A female reporter?
It's no use
Han trial script is not in the general reading room
If I'm right,
it must be kept in the restricted section
How do I know that?
Well, I think I already gave you all the answers
Now?
Ms. Nam!
This way, sir!
I'm the reporter assigned to the Sohn murder case
Judge Han's wife was murdered, too
on the same day, 30 years ago
The reporter was killed?
- But, why? - I don't know
But one thing is clear
It wasn't Jang Soo-young who killed her
What now?
The reporter's murder, is that your case?
Are you assigned to that, too?
No, I read it in the paper
I got curious because I used to know her
I was called to the scene
She was dead by the time we got there
If I'm right,
the transcript must be kept in the restricted section
What do you think?
Do you think you can decode it?
It's a clean sample
You see the number of prints overlapping on the number?
The print on number you pressed first can be revealed like this
By lifting up the prints, one by one
you can work out the number of prints on the other numbers
You're working late
I've got some research to do
I see
I thought you went home
I left something behind
Who left the lights on here?
A hopeless security...
What are you doing here?
I was looking up some case law
What's taking you so long, man?
Hurry up!
Hey!
Answer me! Hey!!
Damn...
It's a piece of rag!
All the important parts have been torn out
The summary's still there, though
C.O.D. For Judge Han's wife was blunt head trauma, too
On January 9, the same day that Yoon-kyung was murdered
Mt. Acha,
Mt. Acha...
And, the other three were killed in the annex
