Soo Ha.
Soo Ha!
Park Soo Ha!
You dummy!
Where have you been all this time? You should've called me!
Why haven't you called? I've been so worried about you!
Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?
Why did they handcuff him?
Is my name...
Park Soo Ha?
Everyone here...
is calling me by that name.
Do you...
know who I am?
No, you can't.
He himself just confessed that he killed him.
How can I let a confessed killer go?
He said he may have killed him, not that he did kill him.
Take a look. He doesn't even remember his own name.
How do you think he'll know whether he killed him or not?
Sadly enough...
I can't remember who that woman is.
Even with her so fervently taking my side...
I still can't remember...
that voice nor that glint in those eyes.
He may just be pretending that he has amnesia.
We're going to do this by the law.
I'm going to submit a warrant
and when it's granted, he's going to be detained in jail.
Why do you just assume that Park Soo Ha is the murderer?
If I had to fathom a guess by the conversation that they're having...
it seems as though I may have killed someone about a year ago.
With his confession and all this evidence
it's more than enough to believe that he committed the murder.
A week before the incident happened
he went off with a knife in his hand saying that he was going to kill Min Joon Gook.
Since he failed his first attempt, he went after him again.
I don't want to get my memory back.
I don't want to realize... that I may be such a horrendous person.
Park Soo Ha is an amazing student.
He has straight A's in all his subjects, so he can pick the university of his choice.
He fought for his friend who was being framed as if it was his own neck on the line.
He's someone who sacrificed his own life to protect someone else!
But on the other hand...
there are some things that I'm curious about.
Even the smartest kids have been known to kill people.
And even nice kids can make a mistake and end up killing someone.
He made me a promise!
He made me a promise.
That he'd never kill anyone.
That kid over there?
He never breaks his promises.
He even kept his promise that he made me ten years ago.
When she's working so desperately to fight for me...
I wonder what kind of a person I truly was?
[Episode Ten- Why am I searching for my painful memories?]
Where have you been all this time?
You're reading my thoughts right now, aren't you?
Answer me.
You can't hear me?
You can't hear what I'm thinking?
Thoughts?
What thoughts?
You've even lost your abilities?
What abilities?
Okay... maybe this is for the best.
Maybe your world is a bit quieter now.
Forget it. You don't need to know.
How old am I?
You're twenty years old.
I'm younger than I thought I was.
Yeah.
You've gone through a lot which makes you look older than you really are.
It feels really awkward having you speak to me in honorifics.
I used casual speech with you?
Yeah.
Since the first day we met, you've never once spoke to me in honorifics.
I guess I was one rude kid.
And maybe I really am a bad person.
You have a scar on your shoulder, don't you?
Yes.
You got that scar while you were trying to protect me.
- Why... did I? - What do you mean, why?
It's because you're a nice guy.
You think you would've done that if you were a bad person?
So...
any mention of you possibly being a bad guy, or that you may have killed someone...
don't ever say anything like that in front of the detective again.
Because it's all going to work against you later in the trial. Okay?
You need to prepare yourself.
Because things are going to get real difficult for you from now on.
Are those the only clothes you have?
Yes.
Your clothes are filthy.
I'm going to get you some new clothes
so make sure that you're dressed really tidy when you come to the scene, okay?
Crime scene re-enaction?
Yeah.
Don't say anything careless, and only say what I tell you to say.
[A severed left hand is discovered at a local fishing spot.]
How many pending case warrants are there to go through today?
There are three.
That's a lot.
Where's Attorney Jang?
I don't know. I'm sure she's loitering around somewhere.
She's even doing all the interviews by phone lately, and it's driving me crazy.
I don't know if she even cares about practicing the law anymore.
Okay, I'll be back.
See you when you get back.
What are you doing?
Attorney Shin... isn't this your favorite? Iced tea.
What are you trying to get at?
I thought that you weren't speaking to me.
You're heading into case warrant screening right now, aren't you?
Yes. It's my turn this time.
I would like to go in your place.
Why?
Do you know one of the victims or something?
Yes.
Park Soo Ha is there.
I have to go to the warrant screening to become Soo Ha's public defendant.
I'm not sure.
Seeing how you've been doing lately...
it may actually work against Park Soo Ha to have you defend him.
I think that I'd probably be a better option than you.
No other attorneys, no matter who it may be...
knows Soo Ha better than I do.
And no one will believe in him as much as I do.
So please...
I beg of you.
Let me take the case.
Thank you.
What do you think that you're doing?
Attorney Jang.
I have been assigned from the public defense team.
I'm Park Soo Ha's assigned public defense attorney.
So I'm going with him to the crime scene.
Why would his attorney go along to the crime scene re-enactment?
Why wouldn't his attorney go to the crime scene re-enactment?
She's really forceful. Are all public defense attorneys like that?
I don't know. And she's really strong too.
Will there be a lot of reporters there?
I'm sure there will be.
This case has been all over the news.
Here, put this on.
If you can't remember anything, then say that you don't remember it.
Don't just guess at what might've happened.
Okay?
Make sure that you prepare yourself for this.
The victim has lost his memory, and doesn't remember anything.
Refrain yourselves from asking any leading questions.
If you try to exert force on him at all, I'm going to make an issue of it
and use it to get him acquitted at the trial.
Take it easy and stop overreacting.
- Please get out of the way. - He's the murderer.
- It was a brutal murderer. - He looks like a young kid.
Wait! I'm his attorney!
- Please move! - You're getting in our way!
Attorney Jang.
Yeah, don't worry. I'm right here.
Stemming from a grudge which started 11 years ago
the crime scene re-enactment of what's now dubbed as 'The Left Hand Case Murder'
is now underway.
The crime scene re-enactment is underway at the fishing spot where the victim
Mr. Min's left hand was discovered a year ago.
Oh no, Soo Ha.
What do we do about our poor Soo Ha?
The crime scene re-enactment took 40 minutes to complete
and concentrated on the possibilities of the suspect having used his left hand
to carry out the crime.
Do you think you stabbed him like this?
I don't know.
You can't ask your questions like that. He has no memory.
That's leading the question!
But the suspect and his attorney are claiming that the suspect has no recollection
of the crime that took place a year ago.
Don't answer it, Soo Ha. Don't answer.
Where's the remote? Turn the channel to something else.
Leave it!
Just leave it on this channel.
The police are hoping to wrap up their investigation by the end of the week
and hand the case over to the prosecution's office.
Answer me!
Don't take off his mask. He's still a victim himself.
What got into Attorney Jang?
She never went to any of the crime scenes.
She protected the victim's face
but Attorney Jang's face is now known to everyone in the country.
She should've protected herself before trying to protect someone else.
- You awful bastard. - Cover up his face!
I said, cover up his face!
You took this and approached the victim
and... stabbed him here like this. Right?
How many times did you stab him? Where did you hide the body?
That's the killer.
He dismembered the body.
You have a scar on your shoulder, right?
You got that scar while you were trying to protect me.
What...
kind of a person am I?
By any chance... are you Prosecutor Seo?
Yes, I am.
- Which floor? - Fifth floor.
My office is on the fifth floor, too.
By any chance... are you on your way to our office?
Attorney Jang is there right now, isn't she?
What is all this?
This is a copy of Park Soo Ha's cellphone record.
This is his call log, and these are crime scene photos.
You can use them for your defense.
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
You're the prosecutor of this case.
Think of it as a coupon that I'm giving you.
Coupon?
Min Joon Gook's case last year...
as the prosecutor of that case
I never should've allowed him to get off with an innocent verdict.
So I feel a sense of guilt and debt to you, with you being the victim.
A pretty large sense of guilt.
So this is how you're going to pay back the debt?
I myself believe that Min Joon Gook more than deserves to die.
That's why I'm thinking of prosecuting Park Soo Ha only for a ten year term.
It's a murder by mutilation, and concealing of the body.
Indicting him for only ten years is going to get me in trouble with the Discipline Board.
You know that, don't you?
Park Soo Ha isn't a killer.
This is why I came.
Take a look.
There's just too much evidence to argue that he's innocent of the crime.
Accept that he's guilty.
Then I'll take his motive for murder into consideration and only demand ten years.
If you do a good job of defending him
and if Park Soo Ha acts as a model inmate while in jail
he can be out before he turns 30.
He'll still be young enough to start a new life for himself.
And what if... I claim his innocence to the end?
If you continue to claim his innocence...
it's difficult to give him any leniency due to duress from the victim.
If he receives the guilty verdict, it's a minimum of 20 years in jail.
I know why you're acting like this... but it's too reckless.
This isn't good for Park Soo Ha either.
I can more than understand where Park Soo Ha's coming from.
I want to help him however I can.
You know that I'm being sincere about this, don't you?
Yeah.
But he can't be judged innocent just because he killed his evil enemy.
- So what I'm saying is... - Thanks.
I more than understood what you're trying to get at.
I'll give it some serious thought.
What?
- What... what? - You look so pathetic.
Attorney Cha.
A break... I need a little break.
I didn't take you as one, but you're quite the weakling.
We've only been hiking for 30 minutes.
Why did you ask me to go hiking with you if you were going to be like this?
I asked... because I have... something to talk to you about.
What do you have to talk to me about?
Prosecutor... Seo...
Ten years... if pleads guilty, but if not... twenty.
You're saying Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun came to offer a deal?
Ten years if he admits that he's guilty, but if he doesn't, then he'll get 20 years?
There is... so much evidence...
so it's too difficult.
Too difficult.
I know.
That would be very difficult.
There's too much evidence indicating that he's guilty
for them to keep arguing his innocence.
Attorney Jang...
her brain... 'kabam'!
Yes, I bet.
I bet Attorney Jang has a lot on her mind, and it's about to explode.
By any chance, can you get me a copy of Park Soo Ha's file?
My goodness, you carried all these up here?
What is it?
Have I just played into your plans?
Yes.
Ten years...
versus 20 years.
Seo Do Hyun, that wench.
She keeps on testing me to the very end.
My head hurts.
Attorney Shin!
You almost made me lose my baby!
Do you even have a baby that you might lose?
No.
What is all that?
These are Hwang Dal Joong's case files.
It was one of my cases 26 years ago.
Hwang Dal Joong?
Why would I need to look through his case files?
I don't really want to look through them.
This case...
is very similar to Park Soo Ha's case.
Just like Park Soo Ha, Hwang Dal Joong at the time
couldn't remember anything about the incident either.
He had too much to drink.
There was too much evidence indicating to his guilt to argue his innocence.
His prints were found all over the knife...
a part of the victim's body was found inside the house...
and on top of everything else
he and his wife had a horrible fight the day before the victim's death.
When things were looking pretty hopeless, the prosecutor of that case came to see me.
The prosecutor came to see you?
Just like Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun did earlier, he made me an offer.
That he'd only be indicted for 15 years if he admitted guilt to the crime.
That it was a crime of passion he committed when he found out about his wife's affair.
And that the prosecution would accept the insanity plea.
Did you take the deal?
No.
I continued to claim his innocence.
He was forced into making that confession by the pressure from the police.
None of this evidence is direct evidence of the defendant having killed the victim
but they're all just circumstantial evidence.
I ultimately argued that Hwang Dal Joong was not guilty of the murder
and that the real murderer...
was his wife's lover whom she was having the affair with.
But I lost the case.
The wife's lover came up with an alibi.
That's why Hwang Dal Joong has been serving his sentence in jail for the past 26 years.
We don't know how many more of his remaining years he's going to have to spend in jail.
If...
you had taken the prosecutor's proposal and admitted that he was guilty...
then I guess he would've been out already years ago.
This is the record of my humiliating failure.
Whether you plead guilty or not guilty, I'm pretty sure...
that these will prove to be good resources for you.
Attorney Shin.
If...
you could go back to that day 26 years ago...
would you make the guilty plea?
So...
if I plead guilty, I'd get ten years or less.
But if I plead not guilty, and something goes wrong...
then I'd be sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in jail?
Did I understand that right?
Yeah.
What should I do?
Let's plead not guilty.
You're innocent.
Okay.
No, no.
Let's plead guilty.
It's possible that you could be guilty.
If anything goes wrong, you may end up spending the rest of your life in jail.
Okay, I understand.
Hey... think before you answer.
What would that matter?
You know me better than I know myself right now.
You make the decision.
And I will take the responsibility.
You.
What do you think that I am?
Public defense attorney.
Do you know what that is?
I'm not quite sure...
but I think I get the gist of it.
Gist?
Aren't you someone who'll take my side when no one else will?
What is it?
Am I wrong?
No.
What you said is right.
What you said is right... but I didn't know it until now.
Attorney Shin.
If... you could go back to that day 26 years ago...
would you plead that he was guilty?
That question...
I've asked myself the same thing thousands
tens of thousands of times in the past 26 years.
And my answer has always been the same.
Even if I could go back... I'd still plead his innocence.
I...
I'm going to plead that you're innocent.
Okay, I understand.
Is there... anything at all that you remember?
Not yet.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
You can take your time and think about it.
By any chance...
if you remember anything at all, you have to make sure to tell me first.
Okay?
Okay.
Will I be able to do it?
Will I be able to save Soo Ha?
Maybe I should've told him that we should plead guilty.
It's been a while... Attorney Jang.
I saw you on TV when they broadcasted the crime scene investigation.
You looked great on screen just like Angelina Jolie.
What's this about?
It's about Park Soo Ha's case.
What do you think about doing a trial by jury?
Trial by jury?
Yes. The chances of receiving an innocent verdict is eight times higher from
a trial by jury than from a judge.
Since it's easier to sway the jury emotionally than it would be a judge
I think it would be perfect for Park Soo Ha's case.
Since Soo Ha's still young and this is his first offense
I think the jury will go easier on him.
What do you think?
That's a pretty good idea.
Why didn't I think of that myself?
If it's a trial by jury...
you are aware that you're going to need another attorney besides yourself, right?
- Yes. - I would...
like to be that other attorney.
For the past year...
I've been living in pure hell.
I just kept my eyes on the light ahead and headed towards it out in the open sea
and it was like that light suddenly went out on me.
It felt like my whole world had crumbled down.
But foolishly enough...
I still want to believe in the law.
Instead of the last case having been a mistake...
I want to think of it as a lesson learned.
And I want to confirm that belief with Park Soo Ha's case.
Okay.
Let's defend him together.
I...
don't care whatsoever about what's happened to your world
and whether you still believe in the law or not.
You're just...
nothing but someone who's capable of turning a guilty crime into an innocent verdict.
That skill of yours... is what I need right now.
I desperately need it.
Yes... thank you for allowing me to help.
I hope we'll work well together.
It took me a year...
to get to hold this hand.
[Name- Kim Choong Ki. Relationship status- ...]
[Relationship status- Friend.]
Park Soo Ha.
Look at what you're wearing.
That outfit kind of suits you.
Do you... know me well?
Why are you using honorifics?
Drop the honorifics, you scoundrel. We're classmates.
Huh?
Oh... okay.
Are you doing anything to help you get your memory back?
Are you taking any pills or anything?
No.
I took this from your locker last year.
I'm not sure if it's a diary, a letter, or what.
But why don't you give it a read?
Who knows? Maybe reading this will help bring your memory back.
- Are you sure it's mine? - Yeah.
Mister.
How do I get this to him? It's his diary.
- He can't accept that. - Seriously?
This kid really need to see this.
If you feel so adamant about it, then you read it to him.
Huh?
That's going to creep me out.
Have you read it?
I read a few pages, then I stopped.
It was so disgustingly touchy feely.
Read it to me.
I have to do whatever I can to get my memory back right now.
Hey... I can only visit you for ten minutes at a time.
If I'm to read this whole thing to you, then I'm going to have to come here every day.
Can't you do that for me?
What?
No, forget it.
Don't go.
Please.
You want me to read it from the beginning?
Yeah.
September 13th, 2003.
If it's 2003, then that would've been in third grade of elementary school?
I think so.
'H'- I won my felt belt in taekwondo.
Even though I was a little scared during the competition...
but I pictured that you were there watching me, and I did my best.
First level taekwondo, Park Soo Ha... Don't I look cool?
No, you're not cool at all!
Just read it.
When that bad guy gets out of jail
I will knock him out with my flying kicks.
Just put your trust in me.
Ugh... this is really creeping me out!
Have you heard?
They requested a trial by jury for Park Soo Ha's case.
Yeah, I heard.
I don't know why Attorney Jang is blowing this way out of proportion like this.
If she does that, there will be so many more people watching
and reporters will be all over the place.
Ugh... it really is a concern.
We're going to have to get going now. We have some work to get back to.
We'll head in first.
What's wrong with them?
Attorney Cha!
It's been a while, Judge Kim.
Yes, it has.
What is this about?
You said you felt indebted to me after making me take Min Joon Gook's case last year, right?
Yes, I did.
But why are you bringing that up all of a sudden?
I need you to repay that debt.
- Excuse me? - Allow me to be Park Soo Ha's attorney.
I want to defend him along with Attorney Jang Hye Sung.
Didn't you quit your public defense attorney position last year?
Allow me to defend him as an attorney instead of a public defense attorney.
That's...
possible, isn't it?
Attorney Cha!
- Hello. - There you are.
Yes. I'll be working on Park Soo Ha's upcoming trial.
I don't have an office, so I was hoping to borrow my old desk?
Okay.
Help Attorney Jang as much as you can.
She's finally behaving like an attorney should.
Don't worry.
Where's Attorney Jang right now?
She's in the office right now
but she's stayed up the past few nights in a row, and she's a real hot mess.
What took you so long to get here?
Come on, give it a rest!
Shall we go?
Attorney Jang?
You're here?
Yes.
Why are you laughing?
Do you think that I was sleeping?
No, of course not.
So... what should I get started on?
You can't visit Park Soo Ha today.
A friend of his is here visiting him right now.
Again?
- He's only allowed one visitor a day? - Yes. Come back tomorrow.
This is driving me nuts! How many times is this already?
Have you ever been to the aquarium?
I really want to go so badly.
Are you a kid or something? Why the aquarium?
My world is so loud and noisy.
But I think my world will become quieter and more peaceful if I was there.
What does that mean?
Why would your world be loud and noisy?
I really want to go to the aquarium with you one day.
I'm going to ruin my stomach if I keep reading this stuff.
Keep reading.
Today is my late father's birthday.
Every time I think of my father, I also think of you as well.
I remember the moment you stepped into that courtroom.
If you hadn't been there at that moment...
I think I would've felt my breath catch in my throat from the injustice of it all
whenever I thought of my father.
I'm forever grateful to you.
You've given me the ability to breathe.
Hey. The woman you speak of in here...
it's the same woman, right? For the past ten years?
Yeah.
By any chance... is it that attorney?
I think it is.
But...
I don't really remember.
You scoundrel.
I didn't take you to be one, but you're a f****** softie.
I had my final exams today.
Hey, Kim Choong Ki!
Wow, Go Sung Bin. Long time no see.
Hey! I can't go visit Soo Ha because you use up all his visitation rights every day.
He's only allowed one visitor a day.
Why do you come here everyday when you're not really even friends with him?
You little jerk!
Forget it.
I'm holding myself back out of pity for you.
How am I pitiful?
Go Sung Bin.
Stop obsessing over him, and come back to your senses.
That kid, Park Soo Ha... even if you were to...
No matter what you do, he won't ever fall for you.
Never.
Hey!
- Hey... - I know that, you jerk!
The fact that I'm just obsessing... I know that f***** well myself!
Hey!
Why are you crying?
Hey, Go Sung Bin.
So you're saying you just woke up one day at that grandfather's house, right?
And that grandfather told you that you were his great nephew?
Yes.
That's strange.
Why would he have told you that?
Why are you working so hard on this?
Is this what all the attorneys are like?
Or...
Am I special to you?
Yeah.
You're very special to me.
That man Min Joon Gook that they're saying you killed...
he killed your father and my mother.
But he used the law to escape...
and ultimately turned you into a murderer.
If we lose this case...
I won't be able to believe in the law or in the justice system at all anymore.
I won't be able to continue being an attorney anymore either.
I'm not going to let that happen.
I'm going to use the law to protect you no matter what I have to do.
That's why...
you're extremely special to me right now.
Then what do you mean to me?
What?
What kind of a person were you to me?
Just someone you know.
That's all?
Did I like you... or anything else special like that?
There's...
something else you don't know.
If you really want to know...
you actually don't really even like me.
You disliked me.
You said I was messy and flighty.
You're not...
lying, are you?
No, it's not a lie.
But why does that sound like a lie?
It's not a lie.
It's the truth.
And I... want that to be the truth.
You need to concentrate on the case now.
Understand?
What are you doing just sitting there?
I came here to prepare myself for the trial.
This is my first time doing a trial by jury.
What about you?
I came to do a run through of the trial myself.
Are you really nervous?
No.
Not at all.
I'm nervous.
Thinking that every word that I say can affect the rest of Soo Ha's life...
it scares me and makes me nervous.
You can't be nervous.
Don't worry.
I'm going to fight with every ounce of my being tomorrow.
Somehow...
I'm going to make sure that he's acquitted of his charges.
I believe... that's a small step towards paying back the debt I owe to the two of you.
And...
once he's declared not guilty...
I'm going to ask you again.
I'm going to ask you to reconsider and take me back.
- Listen, Attorney Cha. I... - I haven't asked you yet.
So don't answer me right now...
and wait.
Wait until I ask you.
Yoo Chang... did you remember what I requested?
Yes, don't worry.
I'll get going right now.
Ah, but before that...
Here.
What's this?
I've been holding onto it for the past year.
I've been waiting for the right time to give it back to you
and I think this is the perfect time.
Did your attorney get those clothes for you?
Yes.
I guess she's trying to make you look good in front of the jury.
Oh my... your attorney really is dedicated to you.
Even though I'm sure you'll be sentenced all in the first day of the hearing.
It must make you very nervous.
What's wrong? Is something hurting you?
No, I'm fine.
Everyone rise.
Everyone take a seat.
Defense counsel and prosecution stand... is everyone here?
- Yes. - Yes.
Please bring in the defendant.
More than ever...
I need your ability to read others' thoughts right now.
But why now of all times can't you read other people's thoughts?
Will I be able to win this case without your eyes?
I wonder if I'll be able to protect you.
Are both of you going to be attending the hearing together?
Yes. I've asked him to help me.
Since this is my first trial by jury.
- You're going to do all the questioning? - Yes.
Do I just prepare all the questions like I would for a normal hearing?
No. How you narrate yourself is very important in a jury trial.
You can't act cocky
and you have to make yourself sound humble and make the jury feel as though
you're leaving all of the judgment up to them.
I'm Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun who has been placed in charge of prosecuting this case.
I'm standing here in front of you to help every one of the jury see the truth.
I thought it would be helpful to all of you to understand the case better
so I have prepared a screen presentation to help with my statement.
What is all that about?
All we have is an oral statement.
Don't worry.
Things like that are just disorienting, and they don't have much effect.
Eleven years ago...
the victim Min Joon Gook murdered defendant Park Soo Ha's father.
Even after his release from prison
Min Joon Gook continued to threaten and put the defendant in danger.
And ultimately even ended up wounding the defendant last year.
The defendant harbored a deep grudge against the victim
and around the hour of 23:00 on July 22, 2012
he met with the victim at the local fishing spot in Yeonjoo and murdered him.
Then he proceeded to mutilate the body to dispose of it in the water.
The defendant already confessed to this truth during the interrogation upon his arrest.
By providing various pieces of evidence...
I will prove the real truth to all of you at this hearing today.
In order to hide his crime
the defendant brutally dismembered the body of the victim
and instead of having remorse for his crime
he tried to escape being punished for his crime by moving to a different address
and was reported in by a local citizen of the rural town he was hiding out in.
In accordance to Article 250 and 161 of the Criminal Procedural Law
the prosecution is indicting the defendant with murdering and mutilation of the body
followed by concealment of the body.
Defendant.
Do you understand the crime that you're being charged with?
Excuse me?
Defendant.
Do you admit to the crimes that you're being charged with?
No.
I deny the charges.
Does that mean that you're pleading not guilty?
Yes.
Noted.
Counsel.
- Please make your statement. - Yes.
The statement that you'll be making is very important.
Pay respect and compliments to the prosecutor in front of the jury.
That way the jury will believe
that you're a very rational and objective person.
They're going to think that when a person like that
stands by the defendant to plead his case, that there's a good reason for doing so.
You're telling me to compliment that wench, Do Hyun?
There's no way I can do that.
My name is Jang Hye Sung, Attorney for the defendant, Park Soo Ha.
Before I go any further with making my statement
I would like to thank the prosecutor for the hard work she's put in
to reveal the truth behind this crime.
After seeing all the evidence...
I myself believed that the defendant could be a suspect of this murder case.
But after carefully looking into the details, and having spoken to the defendant...
there were too many doubts to be convinced that he was guilty of the crime.
The defendant's confession
was forced out of him while his memory was lost during the interrogation.
And all the evidence as well...
they weren't any direct evidence of the defendant having killed the victim...
but they were just circumstantial evidence.
Even the fact that the defendant spent the past year in Kanghado...
wasn't because he was trying to evade being persecuted for a crime
but it was because he couldn't find his way back home from the loss of his memory.
Just as how the prosecutor will work to show that he's guilty of the crime
by the use of all the evidence...
we the defense will also show evidence which will negate the validity of the prosecution.
The fact that there isn't any direct evidence
which indicates that the defendant killed the victim...
is the stand that we the defense is taking to prove that he isn't guilty of the crime.
That's all for my statement.
How about we show the call records and the record of his statement?
I think it would be better to leave that out.
Evidence like that is going to be difficult and dull for the jury.
Instead... you need to find evidence that would shock and excite the jury.
Something that would be visually shocking.
As you can see...
the grudge that the defendant had towards Min Joon Gook was significant.
And that grudge only escalated when Min Joon Gook escaped his last charges
and the defendant was no longer able to believe in the law
and took judgment into his own hands by murdering Min Joon Gook himself.
The defendant concealed the body that stemmed from his grudge against the victim
and took every precaution he could to keep himself in hiding for the past year.
However...
With the discovery of this left hand...
the defendant's perfect crime has come to its end.
That wench.
I can't believe she didn't even use black and white but used a color image.
The investigators are stating that this crime occurred sometime during the hours of
eleven o'clock at night and three o'clock in the morning.
And the weapon that was discovered on the crime scene
was a knife that's 15cm in length.
Victim Min Joon Gook was a bigger man who weighed around 80kg.
I tried to dismember a cow that weighed in at 80kg
with the same sized knife that was found on the crime scene at a butcher shop recently.
It took me over seven hours to cut everything up into the size of the hand that was found.
At the time when the crime happened
the defendant had been stabbed by the victim on his left shoulder
and sustained a serious injury from it.
Could it even have been possible for a defendant
who couldn't even have used his left arm be able to murder the victim in four hours
and rid the evidence of the victim's body?
This is a real tough battle.
The defendant has no memory...
but the weapon with his fingerprints, and the left hand that was found...
and even all the records of his phone calls?
There's just too much evidence working against him.
When there is that much evidence, there are two ways of looking at it.
Either Park Soo Ha really is the killer...
or...
Or someone has planned all this to make Park Soo Ha look like the killer.
If everything did happen the way the prosecutor says it did...
in order to hide the truth of the crime
the defendant would have been clever and smart enough
to murder, dismember the body, then go into hiding.
But the countless number of evidence that has been found
is too obvious and foolish to be believed that someone that smart and clever
would have left behind.
As if...
someone was trying to make him look like the culprit of the crime.
Couldn't it be possible that we are ignoring the possibility of the real culprit
still being out there just to be played into his scheme?
We also need to consider that there could be another suspect out there
other than this defendant.
If there's enough reasonable doubt... then the defendant is innocent.
Don't you think it's too risky to point out other suspects?
Because if the prosecution stand brings in an alibi for the suspect
it would cause a serious problem for us.
I tried doing exactly that during the Hwang Dal Joong case 26 years ago
and lost my case.
But don't you think that's the best card we could play to make the jury doubtful?
The only thing we can do right now is to give the jury a reasonable doubt.
Even though it may be risky, I believe it's a worthy gamble to take.
As soon as the crime was found, both the police and the prosecutors
focused on Park Soo Ha as the only suspect of the crime without considering
the possibilities of other suspects.
In the time and at the scene that the crime occurred
it's more than plausible that someone else could've been there besides the defendant.
There are three sets of footprints that you see found on the crime scene.
One belongs to the victim, Min Joon Gook.
Another belongs to the defendant, Park Soo Ha.
And the final set belonging to the owner of the fishing spot, Ji Chul Soo.
The fishing spot where the crime occurred is open all year around...
but it was closed only on the day that the crime took place.
Don't you find that strange?
Why of all days, did he close down the place only for that day?
As if...
he was preparing for this crime.
Kim Ki Ho did not report the defendant who was wandering around with his memory
but took him in, and took care of him for a whole year.
Not only that, but he deceived his neighbors into thinking that he was his great nephew.
That's just doesn't make any sense at all.
The reason why anyone would lie is because there's something that they want to hide.
And it is our responsibility to question that reason.
I think Park Soo Ha's defense is going to try to plant seeds of reasonable doubt
and mention the possibility of there being other suspects.
That could be beneficial to us.
Accept whatever other suspects they want to bring onto the stand.
Just as the counsel stated
we acknowledge that we ruled out the possibility of there being other suspects.
It was because there were too many pieces of evidence pointing to the defendant.
The counsel just proposed the possibility of there being other suspects.
Before these people even needed to provide their own alibis
the counsel themselves already took them off from the possible list of suspects for us.
The fishing spot owner, Ji Chul Soo...
He is currently suffering from a severe case of diabetes at the age of 61.
And Mr. Kim Ki Ho who has been taking care of the defendant for the past year
is currently 74 years old.
If we were to go by the argument made by the defense counsel
the culprit needs to be someone with the physical strength and stamina
to dismember the body of the victim who weighs around 80kg within four hours.
These two are old men who are much weaker in physical strength than the victim was.
Isn't that fact alone... enough to exclude them from the list of possible suspects?
Casting any suspicions or doubts without any solid proof...
actually works against the defendant and makes the case against him even stronger.
I acknowledge that there was another suspect on the scene at the time.
However...
out of all those suspects, the most solid suspect we have...
is the defendant, Park Soo Ha.
Just nod your head right now as if I just told you something significant.
And smile confidently.
What?
We have to fool the jury into thinking that I just told you something shocking.
How are we going to fool them now? We've totally been destroyed.
We have to break the prosecution's rhythm.
Honorable Judge, Attorney Jang and I would like to discuss our next course of defense
so may I request a brief recess?
Are you crazy?
Okay, then shall we take a brief recess?
Prosecutors... how do you feel about a recess?
We accept.
Every one of the jury... you are not allowed to discuss the case during the recess.
Then we'll reconvene at four o'clock.
Please take me to this address.
It was good to break their rhythm, but I don't know where to go from here.
What do we do?
If this keeps up, the case is going to lean towards the prosecutors' favor.
Should we keep trying to argue that Kim Ki Ho and Ji Chul Soo could be suspects?
No. That's too reckless.
The prosecutors said that they have witnesses for them
so if we keep pushing that argument, our defense will be damaged even further.
Even though it's a small chance...
there still is one last possible suspect.
Who?
The person who reported Park Soo Ha and took the reward money.
- Moon Suk Nam. - I thought he lived in Gapyung?
- He wasn't even listed in the directory. - That's why it's strange.
Park Soo Ha was living in the rural countryside of Kanghado
so how could he have reported Soo Ha when he lived 139km away in Gapyung?
Is that why... you sent Yoo Chang to Gapyung?
- To find that person? - Yes.
This is my hunch as a policeman, and not as an attorney...
but I'm positive that there's something to the person who made the report.
[Choi Yoo Chang]
Yoo Chang?
Did you meet with the person who called in the report?
What's he like? Does he have a big build?
Does he look strong enough to be able to kill and dismember a person?
No.
No, nothing like that.
It's an older lady.
What? It's an older lady?
Why did she have to confuse me with her name, Moon Suk Nam?
She made me think that she was a man!
That's what I'm saying.
But I guess... look at Judge Kim. His name is Kim Gong Sook.
- Why are you hitting me? - Hurry up and get out of here!
Okay, I'm leaving!
I told you, I'm not here to take back the reward money!
Attorney Cha. I'll be back at the office soon.
Okay.
What do we do?
Should we just make the guilty plea?
Shut up!
Just what is all this?
What do you think?
Are you going to plead guilty?
There's just too much evidence...
and they are too strong for us to break.
Could there be any other reasonable doubts that we haven't thought of?
There aren't any other suspects.
Should we just say that it was an accidental death?
This case is going exactly the same as Hwang Dal Joong's case did 26 years ago.
It really is something else.
Even the crime nickname is the same.
'Left Hand Murder Case'.
Hwang Dal Joong?
Left Hand Murder Case?
I got it!
The reasonable doubt that we didn't think of before.
Are you by any chance...
thinking exactly what I'm thinking right now?
Yes.
There is one suspect... who fits in perfectly with all the evidence.
So who is it?
Counsel, do you have anything else to state?
Or shall we just go right into the hearing?
I have something to say to the Honorable Judge and to the jury.
Yes, go ahead.
I acknowledge that the defense named suspects without any solid evidence
as the prosecutor has pointed out.
But all of this evidence...
points to just one person, Defendant Park Soo Ha as the killer.
But the fact is... there is one other person.
He was at the scene of the crime when the crime occurred...
and he fits all the conditions...
with the record of all the phone calls...
and the possession of the weapon.
There is one person who has the strength to cut off a person's wrist.
Who would that be?
That's none other than the victim himself, Min Joon Gook.
Counsel, what are you saying right now?
Min Joon Gook is the victim who was murdered in this case!
How could...
How could he be a suspect?
Honorable Judge...
and every one of the jury.
The counsel...
believes that the victim, Min Joon Gook...
is still alive.
