Episode 6
You must be playing, Koo Dong Chi.
I know. Jang Gong Chul is Panda.
What about Kang Soo?
I can't even do this.
That's right. Our Chan Hee's doing very well.
Chan.
This is the most important thing to know as you live in this world.
Okay?
Hello.
Is your tenant Kang Soo at home?
- Kang Soo? - Yes.
You should check the District Attorney's Office. Why are you here?
Oh well...
You trust me, right?
It'll all pass.
Shoulders back.
Hey hey, leave him alone.
This is just a formality. You know that, right?
He needed to go to a drugstore.
- The current situation... - Never mind.
- Were there a lot of witnesses? - No, just us.
We usually need a lot of witnesses for an accident like this.
That way the case is less severe.
Keep going.
We're estimating that Panda has an acute cardioplegic condition.
We're looking into the cause.
But why was there blood in the water off the Incheon coast?
About five centimeters of the scalp was ripped.
This is the worst, the worst.
It's the most undesirable situation.
The head has so many blood vessels that even if it's ripped a little, blood splatters out.
It's not a severe injury, but it looks really bad.
Another thing.
His sixth vertebrae was broken.
So why did you hold the kid?
Don't you know the bones of drug addicts are weak?
You just hit them lightly, and they break.
If he runs, you should try to calm him down.
Even if you let him run, he would have fallen.
Why did you go out there without knowing those basics?
I apologize.
Is everyone okay?
How surprised must you have been.
How did it end up like this?
You should have reported to me first.
If all this happened, and I didn't even know about it, how am I responsible?
What? If you reported to me, you think I wouldn't have let them go?
Anyway, let's figure this out slowly.
You were all just working.
If anything, the Chief should be accountable.
Get your reports ready and meet me in the conference room in five minutes.
Okay?
Yes.
A bad eye.
You say the victim was Panda?
Yes.
He goes by the alias Jang Gong Chul.
His real name is Kim Jung Gook.
He ran off to China when he was accused of homicide by fire.
Law enforcement followed him to China
and he jumped into the ocean in an attempt to escape.
Three months later, the Chinese found his body and reported him accordingly.
The case was closed after his body was found.
So you were the head prosecutor of this case?
Yes.
Then you must have recognized him as soon as you saw him.
No, I couldn't recognize him because his face was burned.
Everyone, we're in big trouble.
The victim dies because of the criminal investigator.
The criminal thought to be dead comes back to life and brings back drugs.
The prosecution screwed up.
The prosecution didn't know he was a serial murderer and let him loose.
These are the two main points. The press will have a field day.
We'll do our best to smooth things over--
No, no, no.
Just leave it alone.
The guy who died was the bad guy.
The perpetrator made a mistake. He was unlucky. That's a fact, isn't it?
The prosecution will resolve this according to the law.
That's all we have to tell them.
The prosecution doesn't waver even if it's one of their own.
That is advisable, isn't it?
We'll have to move forward with a strong complaint.
Well...
Just take care of the sidelines.
So that you don't get in the way of the investigation.
I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I'll trust you Chief.
Hey Prosecutor Koo.
Kang Soo, start by lifting his arrest warrant.
Sure.
Excuse me.
In Kang Soo's case, there's no reasonable cause for imprisonment that can apply.
An escape or destroying evidence in an identifiable residence isn't possible.
Are you trying to teach me?
Are you?
Your prosecution skills have improved, haven't they?
You jump in quite eagerly when an adult is talking.
Also, us prosecutors, we are the keepers of basic human rights.
If a person has died, we have to do our jobs and use our iron fists.
You think prosecutors are everyday people?
Do you?
If we do a sloppy job, and the public or press find out, what do you think will happen?
- Still as prosecutors... - Okay, time to go home.
Things will get busy tomorrow.
Good work everyone.
Prosecutor Han.
You can stay here and keep talking.
It's fine. Keep talking.
Everyone's so gutless.
Is the Chief that great?
Everyone just follows his lead. Not one person took his side.
Whose side? Your side?
Investigator Kang's side.
This wouldn't happen to a prosecutor.
If he were a prosecutor, the police wouldn't even investigate him.
Whether or not the press sniffs around.
You'd cover it up and make excuses.
You're right. That's why they talk bad about us.
It's because he's a detective, not a prosecutor.
We can't have him taint the prosecution.
You need to calm things down before they get worse. That's why he's the sacrificial lamb.
You're right about that too.
I'm right?
Prosecutor Koo, shouldn't you put your foot down and stop this?
So you're going to arrest him?
In four days, depending on the severity, we can do a proper investigation.
Then why didn't you defend Detective Kang?
I need to know what's going on to take his side.
What is it you don't know?
Panda held the knife first and ran. That's why we ran after him.
We were trying to stop him, and that's why it was an accidental homicide.
Accidental homicide?
Are you sure about that?
You think Kang Soo did it on purpose?
You saw it too. We're the witnesses.
That's right.
Then do you want to bet?
What are you going to do if it's not accidental?
If I'm right, will be you believe everything I say?
No.
Why not?
Because I'll always be a criminal in your eyes?
Are you stubborn or are you crazy?
You spend the whole day with a criminal, making eye contact with him, talking with him.
You can do that?
Try to feel your heart with your hand.
Am I really a criminal to you or not?
This is getting too complicated.
Just try to feel it like this.
And take care of this.
What is it?
I don't know. It's for you.
Is Detective Kang still not here?
He isn't. But what is Dong Chi doing right now?
He shouldn't be in jail for this!
What's the point of having connections?
Are they going to leave him out in the dust?
You shouldn't do this, prosecutor lady. My Kang Soo is so kind.
He's the perfect mascot for the law.
He's good-looking, he's tall. He'd be the number one choice.
I apologize.
But our Chief has made up his mind.
- The Chief? - Yes.
Sir.
Have you eaten?
Are the cops being hard on you?
Don't slouch. Be a man.
You haven't done anything wrong. You were just doing your job.
I heard what the others were saying, and that guy was complete trash.
He's better off dead.
That doesn't mean he should have been killed.
Take care of Grandma.
Don't worry about anything.
You have Dong Chi. The prosecutor lady is here too.
Kang...
Yes sir.
Hey, how is that? Nothing, right?
I don't think it is. What do you think?
I saw it too, and it's 100%.
Look at him going forward with the knife.
He was trying to run away. He was probably breaking a sweat.
It's totally suspicious.
Even if we left him alone, he probably would have died.
Kang Soo's timing was just bad.
We can't even use this footage as evidence.
I'm sure the autopsy will tell us.
It'll take a week for the autopsy results.
That'll be too late to save Kang Soo.
- So you want to save him? - Of course.
He needs to live for me to live.
If my team is ruined, my credibility goes down.
Until we have evidence, everything is Kang Soo's fault.
When we find out it's not Kang Soo, that's when it ends right there.
Let's work together on this. Got it Prosecutor Koo?
Yes.
- Are you staying the night? - I'm not sure.
- I'm going in. - Yes, go ahead.
Is this the evidence department?
I'll do it.
I'll go out.
On the hunt.
The thing about hunting is, it's all about timing.
Your time has passed.
Then I'll do something else.
What do you want?
We already have everything.
Jung Chang Gi, seeing you act like this...
You must be really close with Kang Soo, right?
Leave Kang Soo alone.
How would I do that?
I finally have Jung Chang Gi lying right in front of me.
What's the name of Kang Soo's crime?
Accidental homicide.
No, I don't think that's right.
Maybe you forgot. We don't cover up for careless mistakes.
Don't you agree?
Attorney Jung Chang Gi.
Fifteen years ago. Winter 1999.
I'm back.
You're here.
Chan Hee, are you sleepy?
Grandma.
Don't be so worried.
What's there to be worried about?
If he committed a crime, he should be punished.
Everyone's trying their best, so it'll turn out fine.
What's there to try?
If he did something wrong, he should get the punishment he deserves.
Keep that in mind.
Your job is not that complicated.
Whether it's you or me or a neighbor...
As bad as your crime is, that's how severely you should be punished.
Yes.
Kang Soo was about this age.
Time goes by quickly. He's all grown up and commits crimes.
He was just unlucky. It wasn't Kang Soo's fault.
I'm relieved to hear that.
Truth is, I don't believe it.
He was kind ever since he was a little boy.
He never once disappointed me.
Except for how he followed me around because he gets easily attached.
I was worried about him growing up without his parents.
Seeing how he follows around Dong Chi
I wonder if he's just good at following others around.
I'm sure Dong Chi will take care of it.
He's a good man, so he'll do the right thing.
Is Prosecutor Koo a good man?
Can't you tell by looking?
There's only one fool who eats my food and does stupid things.
But what's he out doing anyway?
What proud, shameless thing, that moon.
What are you so proud of, that you're sitting up there like that?
Poisoned by sleeping pills?
I'm good-looking, right?
Hey, what is it?
Are you empty-handed?
If I gave you that tip, you should bring Grandma's food.
A new shirt or a pair of socks.
So tactless.
How was it sleeping without me?
Weren't you scared?
Did you miss me?
Stop joking like that.
Whether I place my hand over my heart or not
I haven't changed my mind.
You're a criminal.
That's what you want to believe.
Otherwise coming all the way here to catch me would have been in vain.
Because if it's not me, you have no other way of catching the criminal.
I understand how you feel.
But give it a rest. It's sad to see.
How could I stop?
I can't prove you're the criminal, but I can't prove that you're not.
How could I?
Please tell me outside.
Please just this once. I need to meet her.
I said tell us ahead of time.
Excuse me.
I'm Prosecutor Han Yeol Moo.
Prosecutor.
I'm Chan Yoon Hee's father.
I couldn't believe what the police said.
Prosecutor.
My Yoon Hee would never kill herself.
She's not that strong-willed.
She said her life's purpose was to take care of her siblings.
She wouldn't have left her younger siblings like that while they were in school.
And she had just gotten a job.
Do you know how badly she wanted the job?
But why would she suddenly do that?
But they cover it up and call it a suicide.
I feel my insides burning up.
There might have been something going on that you didn't know about.
The autopsy results...
Prosecutor.
Please look it over one more time.
I know you must be busy, but please look it over one more time.
Whatever will be fine.
I beg of you.
Sure.
It's so unfair! It's so unfair.
Finish all this before you leave work today. Understood?
- All this? - What? You want more?
No.
I have a case I need to review.
What are you reviewing?
I didn't even give you a case.
The case we got earlier involving Cha Yoon Hee.
There's something suspicious about the case. There's no evidence of suicide.
And Cha Yoon Hee's father doesn't believe it.
- I met him this afternoon-- - You met him?
Who? Alone?
Prosecutor Joo, tell me.
You meet the parties involved in a case. What's the more, the location--
You must always go with your superior.
But you already met him.
You did him a favor and turned down the case I give you?
The situation was urgent.
Fine, that's fine.
Fine. It's fine.
Let's just say you did it because the situation was urgent, okay.
I hear you. But still, hey you.
But why did you write the case up like that?
If you do this, you'll be responsible for Kang Soo's situation.
Whether or not he's guilty, they're going to take disciplinary action.
You don't know disciplinary action against a prosecutor is more severe than for a detective?
The thing about disciplinary action is, it depends.
If there were a thug on the prosecution team.
Still, a ten-year sentence is harsher than a ten-month one.
If you put it that way, a 30-year-old car is faster.
Don't you think?
So I wrote something down too.
These are the prosecution's collective thoughts on Kang Soo's case.
This is Yoo Dae Gi reporting from Incheon's District Attorney's Office.
I would like to offer my thoughts on the case to the presiding judge blah blah blah...
Seriously.
You want to just give it to him the first time.
Another time you want to be lenient.
Yet another time, you want to maintain loyalty.
Wow, seriously.
Let's just do away with this team!
Just throw out the case, and just give up on everything!
What is this seriously? A counseling session?
Wow, really. Just bang! Let's just do it!
That was suicide.
It looks like homicide to me.
Just because her father doesn't agree doesn't make it a homicide.
I know.
But I'm going to do my best.
Then what?
It might be able to show something.
She tied her neck, but she died by medicine. No parent would call that suicide.
We need to know why the scarf was around her neck.
If we say it's suicide when it's a homicide, he'll never accept it.
Also I feel it's unfair that you didn't properly investigate my case.
My father always said he hated prosecutors more than he did the police.
If only they had reinvestigated the case when my father requested it.
Then maybe...
our lives might have been a bit different.
Go to Lee Jang Won's office.
Look over Oh Jung Tae's interrogation footage one more time.
Where is this right now?
It's probably in holding.
- I'll contact them. - Okay.
Hurry and text your girlfriend.
She hasn't texted me. What text?
That text where you apologized.
You can't leave on time today either.
Why not?
Ta-dah!
I already told you.
He went like this.
Who did?
What do you mean?
This ring. Where did you find it?
Oh right.
I didn't know, but it rolled on the ground and killed him.
That's what we're asking. Who did it?
- Do you think it's Panda? - Panda was on the ship at the time.
Everything else matches, so someone was pretending to be Panda.
Then it should have looked like a homicide. Why was it like this?
He ran away in the middle of it.
On the surface, it seems Cha Yoon Hee killed herself by taking medication.
Someone put a yellow scarf around her and left her like that.
But for Oh Jung Tae, that ring stood out to him.
Oh Jung Tae tried to pick up the ring and saw the culprit.
He tried to run away from the scene of the crime.
Who could it be?
Who knows?
What's for certain is that the person knows Panda is alive.
That person wanted to let the police know that Panda is alive.
If they found the dead body, the police would definitely investigate.
Then there'd be consideration for a juristic act.
That would get us Panda.
This case is stored in the police database after all.
It's highly possible the culprit knew both Cha Yoon Hee and Panda.
It isn't possible he just found her dead body.
He must have been close enough to her to have been notified of Yoon Hee's death.
That's why he probably took Yoon Hee's phone.
Not only were their calls recorded, there may have been pictures of them together.
I'll check the security camera in front of the bathroom.
You go through Cha Yoon Hee's phone bill.
Sure.
It's that woman.
What does Cha Hae Yoon's phone records say?
There's not much. She didn't use her phone much.
- Check her last call. - Sure.
Did that phone record show that the call was outgoing or received?
It was outgoing.
It was ended after the third ring.
There was nothing on the Panda's phone.
Since it's from China, we don't have records yet.
Why did Cha Yoon Hee call Panda?
Cha Yoon Hee didn't receive the call.
The call was made at midnight yesterday.
Cha Yoon Hee died earlier that night.
So the person who took her phone after she died made the call.
He's on the footage, right?
It's very possible. She was the last person to speak with Cha Yoon Hee.
This second number.
The call was made the night before yesterday.
- Okay, first find the owner of this call. - Sure.
Yes?
What? 150 of them?
It's murder.
Inside these water bottles found in Panda's car
we detected 150 grams of methamphetamine.
Wow, that's a high dosage.
That's why there's such an uproar.
If we can prove she was murdered, Kang Soo can be released right away.
Yes.
We tested Panda's water bottles because we suspected there might be traces of drugs.
After putting in about this much meth into a shot
they mix it with minerals and heavy water before injecting.
It didn't seem that a meth expert like Panda would carry this much around.
So we suspected that maybe the meth had been dissolved in the water.
If 150 grams of meth was detected, it had to be either suicide or murder.
Panda ran away as soon as he thought he was successful.
And she had no reason to commit suicide.
That's why I suspect it's murder.
Who could have killed her?
Who are the candidates?
Right now, there are a lot.
It could be an enemy from China or a drug warlord.
If not, it could be for a complete other reason.
Cha Hae Yoon, the woman caught up in the scarf.
Panda was on the boat from November 3rd at 10 p.m. to November 4th at noon.
The woman was caught on camera on November 4th early in the morning.
The two couldn't have been on the same boat.
There's a possibility that they may have overlapped after the boat landed.
The woman's cell phone was a burner phone.
Then start with finding that woman.
I'm sure we can get a lead on Panda or Cha Yoon Hee's death.
- Yes. - Yes.
Prosecutor Lee and Yoo, find out about Panda's boat, food, if he was on any security cameras.
Find out about anyone who might have dealt with his truck.
Look into that.
- Yes. - Yes.
I think for me...
I'll have to loosen up my body.
Our Man Shik! I see you so often!
We'll grow attached to each other.
But before we do, tell me all you know about Jang Gong Chul.
If you get attached to me, things only get harder for you.
All I know is that he sold drugs in China.
- You didn't know he was Panda? - Pa... Panda?
So that's what I'm saying. He sells drugs!
That's enough. So who told you about Jang Gong Chul?
It was your first deal with him.
I wouldn't know that.
What is it that you know?
I really don't know who introduced him to me.
Jang Gong Chul said in exchange for a deal, he wanted me to find a woman.
What kind of woman?
The woman who stole his drugs.
Stole what?
- Drugs. - And so?
Who stole the drugs?
I said I really don't know!
We can stay up all night. We can do this for a hundred years...
So did you find that woman?
Just her phone number.
Write it down.
I said write it down.
We don't have it.
I don't think its our employee.
Do you have the numbers of past employees?
No, only present employees.
Was there anyone close to Cha Yoon Hee?
I'm not sure. Not really...
Then who worked the longest at this company?
Cha Yoon Hee. That's why she was hired full time.
It seems most people work here for two years.
It's very hard to be hired full-time, but Yoon Hee did it.
But I don't know why she quit.
She quit? I heard she really wanted to become a full-time employee.
Yes, but I'm telling you she quit.
- What's your car number? - I'll take my car later.
I was just wondering, how long have you been working here?
I'm not sure.
I think it's been about ten years. Why?
Do you know Cha Yoon Hee?
Of course I know her, Miss Cha. Our smart cookie.
Who was Miss Cha close with?
Why?
- Well, we... - She's thinking of getting work done here.
She came because Miss Cha recommended this place.
But she quit.
It's been a couple of days.
We came here wondering if we could meet someone who was close to Miss Cha.
Well, there was one woman she used to hang out with all the time.
- But not anymore. - Who is that woman?
Her name is Song Ah Reum.
It's been a year since she quit.
They say the owner does the best job here.
But if you're not VIP, she won't do it.
So it's no use introducing you to any of the workers.
Oh I see.
Does Song Ah Reum work at a different hospital now?
I don't know that.
She used to work the reception desk.
She's very clever looking. Very pretty.
She attended college, but things got difficult.
So she took a break and worked here.
- Which college? - I don't know that.
My son might know.
Your son?
Truth is, I introduced Song Ah Reum to him.
I thought they could work out, but then nothing came of it.
If it's okay, could you give me your son's number?
Why do you want that?
Because it's our job.
- Oh you're a great man. - What do you mean?
And so...
Did you find anything new?
We haven't been able to confirm anything. There aren't many people close to Panda.
There's nothing out of the ordinary, either.
What about you?
The director of where Cha Yoon Hee worked is in America so we couldn't meet her.
We only have the name of a coworker who was close to Cha Yoon Hee.
Her name's Song Ah Reum.
Last year, Panda came to Korea about ten times.
His drugs were stolen from him.
The person who stole the drugs was the owner of the phone you confiscated.
The last person that Cha Yoon Hee called.
Then the person who tied the scarf around Cha Yoon Hee...
She stole Panda's drugs.
Panda found that woman's phone number.
Then he reported her.
And that was her way of letting us know that Panda was still alive.
That's right.
It's possible that she decided to kill Panda herself when they thought they failed because of Oh Jung Tae.
We have Song Ah Reum's picture.
That...
Money.
It's that woman. 1-2-0-5.
1-2-0-5? From that time we tried to find the drug ring?
Yes.
So she stole Panda's drugs and sold it on her own?
That's why all this happened. She wanted to sell the drugs.
She was the last person Cha Hee Yoon spoke with.
She tied the yellow scarf around Hee Yoon and pretended to be Panda.
She was 1-2-0-5, the one who tried to sell drugs to Prosecutor Han.
They're all the same person.
Song Ah Reum.
First, go look for Song Ah Reum.
And Prosecutor Lee, go over the security footage.
But isn't it bit strange that a woman killed her?
She didn't use force to kill her. She used drugs.
A woman's capable of crime too.
She can even be a prosecutor.
When did you know Kang Soo was innocent?
When Prosecutor Oh and I checked the security footage.
Why didn't you tell me then?
Can I tell you?
I have to get up close to tell you though.
You could have told Grandma ahead of time.
She was so worried.
We need proof for it to be the truth.
We can't have shaky evidence and make up a story.
Have you found Song Ah Reum's whereabouts?
Not yet.
This is Jae Shik.
Man Shik, Jae Shik.
Why is he here?
- Hey Lee Jang Won. - Yes?
What is this?
Jae Shik wasn't on the list of witnesses.
It's a Chinese passport.
Then this too.
He's in a truck.
This little punk.
What's he holding in his hand?
You sure looked cute.
Our Man Shik, you shot at a ship.
I saw you by the ship.
Man Shik, your brother Jae Shik.
Did your brother Jae Shik kill Panda?
- No. - Then what?
Did you kill Panda?
- No. - Who introduced you to Panda?
That's a hard connection to make, right?
When you made the deal, you just got the goods and asked about Panda, right?
Who introduced you two?
Someone who probably hired you.
The deal was you'd kill Panda in exchange for getting the drugs.
Where is our Jae Shik?
You know we're after him, right?
Brothers should be like this, I suppose.
You're very steadfast.
Kim Jae Shik made a flight reservation.
He's already boarded and set to take off in forty minutes.
No, our Jae Shik won't get on the plane.
You punk, I caught you.
Look at the punk's expression.
Where is Jae Shik, huh?
See if Song Ah Reum made any attempts to leave, if she bought any plane tickets.
Sure.
Prosecutor Koo, go down to the crime scene.
The suspect for killing Panda is Kim Jae Shik.
They're getting the troops ready so hurry and go.
But Song Ah Reum is the culprit.
What are you talking about?
Kim Jae Shik and Panda rode the boat together.
There's proof they made a deal.
I said everyone's on their way. Get moving.
- Yes. - What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
She made a reservation.
She's set to leave for Hong Kong in an hour.
Who are you saying is leaving?
Song Ah Reum.
I'll go the airport to catch Song Ah Reum.
Send Prosecutor Lee to catch Kim Jae Shik.
Hey, how do you expect Prosecutor Lee to catch the criminal?
Then leave it to the police.
What are you saying?
If we send the police, all the credit for solving the murder and drug case go to the police.
Use your head.
We need to show results.
You want me to go?
I'll go.
To the airport.
I'll go the airport.
- Hey. - Yes.
You...
So you're saying Song Ah Reum is the culprit.
Yes.
Okay.
I'll call the police to the airport.
So go. Yeah, go to the airport.
- Go. And you. - Yes.
- You better get Kim Jae Shik. Got it? - Yes. I understand.
What are you guys doing? What?
So cute, my babies. Now they feel like my babies, that's right.
Miss Song Ah Reum.
I'm turning myself in.
I've killed a person.
We, the prosecutors...
believe the victim, Kim Jung Gook
planned Panda's operation for seven months.
We believe that...
As expected, Chief you're the best.
You need to brief the press.
I'll go soon, yes.
Let's go.
Yes, I'll go.
You have to go.
You can do this yourself.
The content is very thorough.
I'm sure it is.
I don't know the details.
The press is going to ask about them, what would I say?
This is the prosecution's case.
The scenario's written right here. You can see for yourself.
Just look.
For seven months?
How amusing.
Then I'll gratefully accept.
But there's no way you'd just give this to me.
Drop Kang Soo's charge.
I'll look into it, but I can't guarantee it.
Come on, just do it.
You have your connections.
Okay fine, it's not like we're strangers.
Prosecution is our family.
I need to protect a member of the team who's suffering unjustly.
But Chief, you have your connections too.
If you're this high up, you have a lot of say.
Why would I use those connections on a detective?
I have to use them for myself.
Oh yes, sir.
It's me, Officer Oh.
I can't believe that woman is younger than me.
Should I buy you a meal?
Do you have money?
Of course I don't.
Then how will you buy me food?
Eat this.
We, the prosecution
have followed killer Kim Jung Gook's activities for seven month under the alias 'Panda'.
On October 4th, he was caught in a drug bust.
Yes, this is the security office.
Did you get Kim Jae Shik?
Of course.
What about Song Ah Reum?
She still won't talk.
But why Song Ah Reum?
You don't even know why, but you tell the Chief you'll go after her?
Nice acting.
You said she's the perpetrator.
So if I say she's the culprit, you agree?
I thought you didn't believe me.
I don't.
She does whatever she wants.
You do as you please.
I'm not stubborn or crazy.
I'm just going back and forth.
You don't seem to act like a criminal.
But the way you think, sometimes I think you are.
I can trust you as a prosecutor.
But you never know what a person's really like.
So what?
You believe me, and then you don't?
I have proof.
Proof that it's not me.
Should I show you?
