I think it was a box knife that cut him.
It's similar to our last case.
- Who was the first one to see him? - Oh!
The daughter of the dry cleaning family came to give him his clothes and found him.
It's strange because she said that she saw someone go in this place up until yesterday.
How's that strange?
Because his approximate time of death was about a week ago.
That dumb ass. Is he pregnant or something?
He throws up everyday.
Hey you!
- Sir? - How long have you worked here?
I think I've seen you a few times.
It's been 2 years sir.
It's your third year and you're still afraid of dead bodies?
I'm sorry.
What you want to do and what you can do are different.
Look for a different job.
No.
I'm going to do this.
Why?
Because I made a promise.
A promise?
With whom?
You!
What's your name?
The forensic analyst of NFS, Jo Jung Hyun.
- Here. - Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm your fan.
Detective Hwang! What a surprise.
You like to read too?
Hmm?
Of course! I love books.
Books are the medicine for the heart.
You liked Korean food right?
I love other food too. Tonkatsu! Chicken Katsu! You name it!
I think I like Tonkatsu the most. Anyway! I love reading books.
Can you write, 'Fight against contractor policy!' at the bottom?
Put 3 stars and draw a bicep.
Also write 'To Choi Dong Man, the fighter.'
Draw 3 hearts? 4 hearts?
- I will draw two. - Two? Okay.
He's good looking.
How come books are so expensive now?
15,000 Won? That's 3 servings of blood sausage soup.
Soon Bum! When was the last time you bought a book?
I remember that!
Youth Magazine, September issue in 1971.
I was the cover model for that.
You were a front cover model for a kids' magazine?
What? You can't believe me? You really can't believe me?
I may look like this now, but I was handsome when I was young.
Was it a farmer's special?
It was a 'pretty boys' special.
I had a small face back then. I was really cute.
I lost it all in high school.
What happened?
During summer break, I was helping my mom on the rice paddy.
- I was hit by a cultivator. - And then?
Then my head started growing.
Then my body wouldn't grow, but my head would get bigger.
So I got fat after that so I can balance the looks.
- Funny eh? - Congratulations.
- Thank you. - Do you really believe that there is no perfect crime?
Yes, there couldn't be a perfect crime.
The evidence may be lacking.
What evidence?
I would like this book to give me that answer.
Jo Jung Hyun! You're under arrest for the murder of Lee Kyung Wook.
Hey! Who are you fellas?
A prosecutor?
I'm not here to take the case away from you. I will leave after I check the scene.
We have caught the murderer already. Why check the crime scene?
We found his fingerprints all over the victim's body. There is no question here.
Okay! I'm not here to steal your meal ticket.
Let me get in okay?
Then what? Why did you come?
I came here to burn your meal tickets.
Hey! Get out!
You touched me?
Are you bored being detectives?
Then fight me. If you dare touch me...
Your life will be spectacular.
All the evidence is pointing at you.
We have no straw.
You live with your grandpa?
Where are your father and mother?
I've never seen my dad.
Grandpa said that my mom left for somewhere far away.
Lee Jung Mi Died on 2008.
You have an uncle.
Where is he?
He's in prison.
He said that he went to jail before I was even born.
But he said that he did nothing wrong. My grandpa told me that.
That's what the family always thinks.
My mom never knew that I burned down the hill in our town.
I have something that I want to ask you.
Can you tell me?
Grandpa bought a book.
He kept putting the tape on and off.
Then he starting to rub those taps on himself.
What are you doing Grandpa?
Grandpa! Why are you crying?
Because I feel sorry. To you.
For what?
Your uncle will get out soon. You will have to take care of him, okay?
Uncle is coming out? When is he coming?
I have an uncle now?
And?
What did he do after that?
He told me to go out and play.
Grandpa!
Dr. Jo is...
Who is she?
She's so cute.
Hey! Her father got his mother pregnant and ran.
Her mother died 4 years ago. Her grandpa committed suicide today.
The only relative she has is in prison. Is that still cute?
She only lived a quarter of what I lived... And yet she's gone through so much.
So she has no one to take her? What then?
We will have to look in the facilities.
And during that time?
Hey! Take her to your place. You live with your mom.
My mom hates kids.
No mom hates kids.
Were you born all grown up? Were you born as a 10-year-old and said, 'Thank you mother?'
Fool!
Be quiet. She's going to wake up.
Anyway! Take her to your place until the case ends, okay?
Okay.
What happened at the crime scene?
Dr. Jo has a good alibi at the time of death.
Also we've found the scotch tape that was used.
Dr. Jo will be released soon.
The autopsy showed that he was at the late stage of stomach cancer.
He only had a few days to live. Why do you think he committed suicide?
He even left traces of you.
Are you sure about what you said in court?
Are you sure about your autopsy saying that my son is the murderer?
[15 years ago] I had to be sure to even testify in court.
Your son must be the murderer.
All evidence is pointing at him.
My son didn't kill those kids.
He didn't get much education because he had a terrible father like me.
He always gets in trouble.
But my son is not a murderer.
He told me that he didn't kill that kid.
He's not a murderer because he says that he's not?
I don't trust a person's words.
I only trust the objective evidence.
People lie, but objects don't.
Do you have children?
You think I wouldn't know as a parent if my child is lying or not?
I also want to ask you.
You think a forensics doctor wouldn't know if the evidence is legitimate or not?
Your son is a murderer.
- No! - He is!
Like I said earlier, all the evidence is pointing at your son.
I'm sorry.
It's been 15 years.
Doctor?
Do you remember me?
Of course.
Of course I remember you.
You're the one who sent me here.
I came to ask you a question.
You can ask a lot of questions.
All I have is time.
The case 15 years ago...
Bae Jin High School case
Are you the murderer of that case?
Why ask now?
I want to correct my mistakes.
Before the statute of limitation expires.
Do what? Do what? You said that I killed him!
That's why I've been here for 15 years.
And you're going to do what? I'm going to be hanged soon.
I was sentenced with a date.
It's the day that the statute of limitation expires.
I will die on that day.
Why do you want to bring this case up again?
I've had doubts.
Doubts? What doubts?
Help me, then I will tell you.
Do you really think that he didn't do it?
Honestly...
I don't know. However...
The father committed suicide in the same way the son was pointed as a murderer.
I will have to believe his heart, who whole heartedly believed that his son was innocent.
I never knew that Cho was such a romanticist.
Forget it and work on Gil Eun Dong's murder case.
I will take care of Jo.
I want to re-investigate the case. Please allow me.
You think you can reveal the truth?
If there is a hidden truth, shouldn't I uncover it?
What if I don't let you?
I won't care.
I'm already determined.
You're way out of line, Min Tae Yeon.
If we find out that there is another murderer...
Your reputation will be flawed.
What will you do then?
That's fine. My career isn't more important than someone's life.
You're way too calculative. Chief.
Bae Jin High School case started on September 5th, 1997.
It started with Hong Ji Hyang's body being found at the school.
The murderer didn't leave anything at the scene or on the body.
Then the second murder happened about 2 weeks later.
The freshman, Go Min Jung was found dead at the school field.
The cause of death and the method of disposal matched the first case.
But the difference was that we found a lot of evidence on the body.
We found blood that seemed to belong to the murderer.
We found fingerprints on the body.
We found lard on the leg.
- Pig fat? - Yes.
I first thought that lard got on it from disposing the body.
I've analyzed the cut on the body.
I determined that the weapon was a butcher's knife.
So we narrowed down to the butcher shop near Bae Jin High School.
Five days after that...
- Lee Joon Sung? - Yes.
You're under arrest for the murder of Go Min Jung.
What did I do?
Dad! Dad!
Who is that? Joon Sung!
- Dad! -Joon Sung! I'm asking who it was!
- Dad! - Joon Sung!
Dad! Dad!
Lee Joon Sung. Age 20 then.
He is 35 now.
The court ruled on malice for the two murders.
They sentenced him to death. He's been imprisoned for 15 years now.
On September 10th, when the statute of limitation expires...
He is to be executed then.
The murderer didn't leave any evidence on his first murder.
He left many fingerprints on his second kill.
And now all the evidence are pointing at Lee Joon Sung.
Isn't it strange?
It looks like the murderer is trying to say that it was Lee Joon Sung.
Why didn't you think that was the problem 15 years ago?
Because back then I thought I was the best forensics doctor in Korea.
I had no doubts about myself.
I was arrogant.
What do we have to do then?
You should give us the orders as the person in charge.
What do we have to do now?
Everyone went crazy because of that murder case back then.
But wasn't the murderer caught back then?
Lee Joon Sung, who had been caught, may not be the actual murderer.
We are currently re-investigating the case.
Really? Maybe that story was true then.
What are you talking about?
Back then kids were talking about this story.
How did two girls from the radio club die?
You think there is a psycho in there?
They've caught the murderer. The guy who had a crush on Min Jung was the murderer.
You think that makes sense? Min Jung could have been killed by him.
But what about Ji Hyang? She had nothing to do with him.
The first victim was in the radio team?
Yes, she was killed shortly after she quit.
What about Go Min Jung then? Was she in the club too?
I think so.
But she was going to quit or something.
Anyway those girls really didn't get along.
My students told me.
On the day Min Jung died, there was a fight among the radio team kids.
Help me.
Go Min Jung! Why didn't you come to the meeting yesterday?
You don't listen to the seniors?
You don't respect the seniors?
I want to quit.
You think this is a game?
You can't just join and quit whenever you want.
I treated you like my sister ever since you were a freshman.
And now what?
You can cut me from the club.
I want to quit.
Let's talk after the class.
Are you okay, Min Jung?
Yeah, I'm fine.
[1997 Bae Jin High School's 8th Radio Team]
Name.
Lee Hyo Lee forward and Lee Hyo Lee backwards.
- Name! - Park Mun Gyu.
Age.
A lot older than you.
Come on.
Aren't you going to leave?
So if you give me the case records, I will leave with the wind.
You took the meal ticket away from us once. I can't let you do it again.
(Chinese proverbs)
If you didn't go by the rules before, you should abide the rules now.
Come on!
Who the hell are you? Why do you want files on a case that's been closed?
How long have you worked here?
Why does that matter?
You stake-out everyday. You don't even get to see your wife or kid.
Your underwear smells like shit.
But you don't have time to change.
The gangbangers are stabbing detectives all over the country.
But they tell you not to fire guns.
Being a detective sucks right?
What?
So I was thinking...
We are bound to make mistakes.
We're humans too!
But they tell us not to make mistakes.
These bastards tell us not to admit our mistakes even when we make them.
Because it's embarrassing.
What are you trying to say... sir?
If a bank teller makes a mistake, the number changes.
But if we make a mistake, a person's life changes.
I'm here for some self-reflection for my mistakes.
So please let me have them. I beg you.
Lee Joon Sung said that he was at home all day on the day of the murder.
His father and his sister had gone to his grandparents' place. He had no alibi.
Kim Mi Hee was summoned.
I saw it! Joon Sung killed Min Jung.
I think that testimony played the crucial part in Lee Joon Sung getting the death sentence.
There was a guy who says that he saw
Lee Joon Sung argue with one of the girls that died.
His name was Lee Sun Gyu.
But everyone who testified were in the radio team together.
Something is fishy right?
Did you get anything?
In the late 90's they needed the complete fingerprint to analyze.
But now even partial fingerprints can find a match.
We should look for partial fingerprints first.
They didn't find any minute evidence. We can use them too.
First find the people who were in the club first. Find out what they are doing.
- You call me as soon as you have results. - Yes sir.
Bae Ji Hyun?
You were in the radio team in 1997?
Yes. Min Jung, Ji Hyang, Sun Gyu, and Mi Hee.
That was the freshmen.
Choong... Choong something.
Kang Choong Gu?
Yes, Choong Gu.
Choong Gu and I were juniors.
You don't even remember your friend's name?
I learned that it's better to forget some things.
So that I have room in my brain for other things.
Are you saying that it's okay to forget your friend?
Not that it's okay to forget them, but they are forgotten naturally.
Min Jung! What happened!
Who did this to you?
I...
I want to quit the club.
Why? Hmm?
Tell me! I will help you.
Mi Hee...
Hey! Did I tell you to play the H.O.T. song or not?
You listen to that crap by yourself.
Play the Sechs Kies songs!
I turned it on yesterday.
Look at the way she talks.
Hey! Do you not eat today because you ate yesterday?
You think that makes sense?
I will see you after class.
So it wasn't just with the juniors and seniors,
but the freshmen had problems within them?
Yes.
I went through so much trouble to make them make up.
Do you believe that Lee Joon Sung really killed Go Min Jung?
I did back then. But I don't know now.
Why not?
Like I said, it's better to forget some things.
I've forgotten about that a long time ago.
No, it naturally faded away.
Okay then.
I'm not going with you guys.
Come on...
I said I'm not going!
Okay fine! I will give you something better.
Hey! Is my breast your money box?
What? It's not enough? I will put in more then.
Okay! Let's go.
You little bitch...
That's cold!
This is like a noodle place. Are you making dough?
If you touch her, I will beat you to a pulp.
You moved right after the case closed.
Your record showed that you dropped out of the new high school soon after that.
It didn't agree with me.
- School... - Or was it just Go Min Jung?
What do you mean?
I heard that you gave Go Min Jung a hard time in school.
Because she wouldn't turn on the Sechs songs or whatever.
Who says that? Ji Hyun did? She must have wanted to find me badly.
What do you mean by that?
You don't need to know.
Don't trust her.
I didn't give Min Jung a hard time.
It was Min Jung who gave me a hard time.
Hey! I told you not to turn on the Sechs Kies songs.
You listen to that crap.
Play the H.O.T. songs.
Don't you know their songs?
I played H.O.T. songs yesterday.
Look at her talk.
Hey! Do you not eat today just because you ate yesterday?
Hey! I will see you after school.
You said that you saw Lee Joon Sung kill Go Min Jung.
- Did you really see him? - Yes!
Why would I lie?
Some people do.
People who are blinded by something.
What were you blinded by?
It was Lee Joon Sung who killed Min Jung.
Min Jung didn't like him back.
So he killed her.
Here.
Sorry about that.
It's okay.
You want to join the H.O.T. fan club now?
I will think about it.
Is it Ji Hyun?
She called everyone to the radio room.
Let's get up after we eat this.
Min Jung! Please accept this.
Isn't this C.T. phone?
It's my first time seeing it. Can you really call someone next to a phone booth?
I saw it on TV.
It's my heart. Please accept it.
It's Moon Hee Joon. I like Jang Woo Hyuk.
The blue outfit.
This was blue, but the color ran out.
Joon Sung, listen carefully to what I say now.
Okay.
Get lost. I don't want to see you.
No? I will get lost then.
So Lee Joon Sung killed her? Don't you think that's a bit childish?
Because Lee Joon Sung was out of his mind.
Do you know what he said to me?
'Tell Min Jung.'
'If she doesn't go out with me, she and I will both have to die.'
That was the bomb today.
Let's rap again.
Beat-box! Beat-box!
Who are you?
A prosecutor.
He's a prosecutor!
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see you, Lee Sun Gyu.
Your name is Lee Sun Gyu?
You know Go Min Jung right?
You were in the radio club in Bae Jin High School.
Yo man. You better get lost. Or your life will be lost.
This the hip-hop club? And your hair sucks.
You know how much I paid for this hair?
Bae Jin High School case 15 years ago.
You don't have anything to say about it?
It was Kang Choong Gu!
Really! They really fought!
I saw them with my eyes.
Why did you testify that you saw Lee Joon Sung and Go Min Jung fight?
I did, but the police said no.
They said that it was dark and it was far. How could I have seen the face right.
They said it wasn't Kang Choong Gu. It was probably Lee Joon Sung.
They scared me saying that I will go to prison for perjury.
Now that I think about it.
The cops must have done something so that it won't get complicated.
Go Min Jung and Kang Choong Gu.
They had problems?
A lot of problems.
What happened on the day Min Jung died was that...
Why didn't you come to the club yesterday?
You don't listen to your seniors? Huh?
I said I'm going to quit.
Is this a game?
You can't just join and leave whenever you'd like.
We let you in the club and what? You're leaving?
You can cut me from the club.
So I want to quit.
I will see you after class.
Are you okay Min Jung?
I'm okay.
Choong Gu and Ji Hyun were like going out back then.
Both of them had personalities like... It's like crazy dogs man.
Anyway.
That night they got all the freshmen together.
And?
What do you mean and? We all got beat up.
You want to quit?
It's been 5 months since you joined right?
Let's get hit 150 times then.
Then he kept hitting her.
This is nothing. You've got 100 more left.
I'm going again. Count well.
I...
- I saw everything. - What?
- Just know that I saw it. - Saw what?
If you keep on hitting me... I will have no choice then.
So... Please just let me leave the club.
Please.
Mi Hee and Sun Gyu go back.
I need to talk to you Min Jung.
Why do you keep coming to me?
Because I feel sorry.
For whom?
To me?
If...
Just if...
If you get out of here, what do you want to do first?
Hello. Is this Kang Choong Gu's place?
Is Kang Choong Gu inside?
Would you like a cup of tea?
No thanks. I would like to see Kang Choong Gu.
Where is he?
Hello?
My son! My son!
He committed suicide.
They say he committed suicide because he didn't want to go to army.
Hello?
We checked the print on the weapon.
We found your fingerprint on this.
Your fingerprint shouldn't be found here according to your testimony.
Why did you join the radio club?
I wanted to become a radio DJ. Back then.
And now?
Not anymore?
I learned that it was only a dream.
Life taught me that.
Life...
We have a very strange society here.
They take all the positive things as negative.
Don't dream on anything. Be realistic.
You can only survive then.
Don't help others. Be selfish.
You can only succeed then.
Don't treat someone sincerely.
You will be betrayed.
Stay silent about the truth.
You will only survive then.
You want to live a life just to survive?
How should I live then?
You should find its value.
Because life isn't a survival game.
You asked me yesterday right? What I was blinded by.
Survival.
I only wanted to live.
Mi Hee and Sun Gyu should go back in.
Min Jung should talk to me.
Sun Gyu.
- You go first. - What about you?
I will go home with Min Jung later. See you tomorrow.
Bye.
Get her!
They are beating her.
They told me to make a choice.
Either take care of Min Jung's dead body with them.
- Or... - You know that I'm close to the jocks?
If you say something, that will be it then.
You will be having such a hard time that you will think that you want to die.
At first, I thought getting rid of the evidence was enough.
Bae Ji Hyun wanted something more concrete.
Frame someone?
I could only think of Lee Joon Sung. So I put it into action right away.
I first went to Lee Joon Sung.
You denied being her friend because of that past?
I didn't think I could live like that.
I was so sorry.
Are you okay, Min Jung?
I'm okay, Sun Gyu.
Kim Mi Hee! Come here!
Bae Ji Hyun.
She must be still looking for me.
That's why she said that I gave Min Jung a hard time.
She wanted you to find me.
So that she can kill me.
Why do you think so?
Min Jung! When she killed Min Jung...
She didn't have the face of a human being.
I still remember that face.
- What are you doing here? - May I talk to you?
I killed Min Jung?
- No? - You must have met Mi Hee.
What does she do now?
It's been a long time since she moved schools after Lee Joon Sung was caught.
Kim Mi Hee testified everything. You shouldn't just back out on this.
I thought that they had all the evidence.
That Lee Joon Sung killed her.
If I have the evidence that points to you as the killer...
- What will you do then? - No way.
That's a bit offensive.
10 years ago, it was impossible to get matches from partial fingerprints.
But now, it is possible.
Is this a leading question?
You're taking me too lightly.
I'm not a detective or a prosecutor.
I'm just a forensics doctor.
I want you to know that forensics doctors only follow objective evidence.
You're very good with words for a mere forensics doctor.
But let me tell you again. I really didn't kill Min Jung.
We have someone who is very good with evidence analysis on our team.
It was him who got your fingerprint from the weapon. I think you should talk to him.
Fingerprints from what?
We have nothing except Lee Joon Sung and Kim Mi Hee.
So I think you should talk to her.
How about it?
Take it.
You keep speaking nonsense.
You will know when you take it.
You think I can't take it?
Excuse me?
I said don't take me too lightly.
Hello?
Yes?
Did my fingerprint really come out from the weapon?
Yes. It came out.
Your fingerprint, Bae Ji Hyun.
I see.
Let me ask you something else. I have a cut on my finger.
If the fingerprint on the weapon really is mine...
It must have the scar on it.
Can you check it?
Yes, there is a scar.
I see.
But you know what?
I got this cut in college.
I got cut by a scalpel when I was practicing.
Bye.
Oh no! I think you got the wrong person.
Why are you looking at the clock?
Oh! Statute of limitations. It's because of that!
You wanted to arrest me before it expires.
Lee Joon Sung is going to die soon.
It's my fault.
I was sure that he was the killer from the evidence only.
I didn't want to listen to his story because I was so sure.
And?
15 years. The pain I let Lee Joon Sung and his family go through...
Lasted 15 years.
If someone were on the verge of death because of your mistake after 15 years of hell...
What would you do then?
I can't give the time that's already passed.
But I should help him live the rest of his life without pain from now on.
I don't know. I wouldn't know.
Please! Help me so that I can make up for my mistake.
This is embarrassing.
I'm not asking you to turn yourself in. Lee Joon Sung. Please...
Please let him live. Please.
We have a minute left. A minute later Lee Joon Sung will die and I will live.
Bae Ji Hyun!
Stop acting sorry. Just wait a minute. I will tell you everything then.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Statute of limitation expired.
I can live freely now.
I was always on my toes. I was afraid that I would be caught.
Mi Hee is right.
I killed her.
It was I who planned to frame it all on Lee Joon Sung.
Do you feel better now? Because I do.
No?
Why did you do it?
I killed Ji Hyang accidentally.
She said that she was going to quit the radio club.
So I hit her once a day like the tradition. But she ended up dying because her neck broke.
But Min Jung said that she saw it.
Just know that I saw it.
So I killed her.
But when I thought about it later, I was glad that I killed her.
When I killed Ji Hyang, I thought getting rid of evidence will set me free.
But I couldn't think of it.
But I learned when I killed Min Jung.
The evidence must point at someone for me to live.
You want me to tell you something interesting?
They say I am attracted to blood.
I learned that when I killed them.
It was just euphoric to see the blood coming out of them.
You look tired. Take a break here before you leave.
Please close the door on your way out.
What do you think Go Min Jung saw?
You think she really saw you killing Ji Hyang?
Or?
She says that she told Kim Mi Hee.
Hey! I saw Choong Gu seeing someone else.
Is that what it was?
It's okay. It ended as a perfect crime anyway.
Lee Joon Sung will be fine.
You can get up now.
What do you mean?
Bae Ji Hyun! You're under arrest for the murder of Go Min Jung.
It will be much harder if you're also convicted of the murder of Kang Choong Gu.
Life sentence right?
I think you have a very wrong idea about the statute of limitation.
The statute of limitation clock does not start at the beginning of the action.
But it starts at the end of the action.
You killed Go Min Jung on September 20th.
But you disposed the body after midnight on September 21st.
So the official expiration of the statute of limitation is 24 hours later.
Doctor. May I quote your book?
'There is no such thing as a perfect crime.'
People always commit another crime to hide their crime.
Like how you killed Go Min Jung and then Kang Choong Gu.
Also when there is an investigator who can accept his mistakes, there can be no perfect crime.
Let's go.
I don't think the last sentence was in my book.
You had the statute of limitation date in your mind?
You could have told me.
The easiest way to fool the enemy is to fool my people first.
- I'm sorry that I couldn't tell you earlier. - It's fine.
I owe you for this one.
No. I think something that I didn't count on solved this case.
It wasn't me who solved this case.
It was you.
Head can never beat the heart.
Yes?
They rushed the execution by a day.
Don't feel too bad.
If... Just if...
If you could get out of here, what do you want to do first?
I want to eat barbecue with my father.
With Ji Hye.
I miss my father.
I miss Ji Hye too.
I've never met her once.
Father! Ji Hye!
Please tell them if you get a chance.
Okay I will.
You must be Ji Hye.
Hi.
