(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
[Previously on Doubtful Victory] It's what I picked up at Jinsung Group that day.
Get rid of...
each one of them before Chul Gi's eyes.
Let's call your dad. Let's call Park Su Chil.
- Help! - Kang.
- Help! - Wait.
I think I know where Kang Chul Gi is.
Don't move.
Isn't this too dangerous?
This is the only way to end this.
You're under arrest for abduction, assault, and confinement.
Baek Kyung is dead.
Whose is this?
That's my dad's. His name is Kang Chul Gi.
Where's Kang Chul Gi?
He was the one who came down the stairs that night.
I was at the rooftop of Jinsung Group's head office 10 years ago.
I witnessed Chairman Jin's death.
Why would there be a second cop?
The first cop just left.
The second cop took charge of the case from start to finish.
Please check this picture first.
Excuse me.
I guess you recognize me.
Mr. Choi disappeared.
No!
You can't die! Call 911!
Call 911!
Jin Young! Jin Young!
(Dongwoo University Hospital)
(Operation Room)
There was some hemorrhaging,
and it took some time to stitch up the wound.
But thankfully, it's nothing serious.
The knife skimmed her, so her wound just needs to heal.
By the way, we need to report this to...
I'm...
a police officer.
She's a police officer as well.
She seems to be in shock,
so please help her calm down.
Okay. Thank you.
(Episode 21)
Did you catch the culprit?
No.
What happened to Mr. Choi?
He's in surgery,
but he's not in good condition.
I figured.
That guy seemed like a professional killer.
I should've acted quicker.
Hey.
You got stabbed.
You're lucky to be okay. It could've been bad.
I'm fine, so it doesn't matter.
What are you talking about?
You got stabbed while trying to save me.
What would've happened if you got seriously injured?
Are you getting angry at me?
Yes, I am.
I'm the one who's going to get beaten up or stabbed from now on.
So...
don't ever try to save me.
I'm sick and tired of other people getting hurt because of me.
Why would you blame yourself for that?
Hey, you can't do this to a patient.
Where are you going?
The crime scene.
Jin Young.
My gosh, Jin Young. What happened?
- How badly did you get hurt? Where? - Gosh, it hurts.
My gosh, this is driving me crazy.
I'm so upset because of you.
I told you not to do this job.
You got into all the Ivy League schools in the States.
You could've just gone to one of them and studied there.
Then I would've been able to live in the States as well.
You were so persistent about becoming a detective.
Why did you have to get yourself in such a fuss?
Where did you get hurt?
My gosh, not a single day passes by quietly.
I'm sorry. Lieutenant Jin is...
I know. I called her on my way here.
She sounded tired, but she seems fine.
- How are you doing? - I'm fine.
Things could've been worse.
That punk must be out of his mind.
How dare he try to kill someone in front of the National Police Agency?
Exactly.
What about Mr. Choi?
- Is he still in surgery? - Yes.
Will we find anything on the street?
We'll be able to pick up some things,
but they won't be useful.
Hello?
What?
Okay.
What is it?
Mr. Choi...
died.
What?
Why did they lift the arrest warrant?
I'll go to the hospital and request an autopsy.
Min Pyo and Dae Woong.
Collect all the surveillance videos from this area.
- I'll get going now. - Okay.
Can I make a call first?
Could you give me some space?
Turn off the camera too.
Mr. Choi was checking the photographs.
Someone came in and sat in front of him.
After that...
Mr. Choi suddenly left the room.
Why?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you go home yet?
- Are you done with work? - Yes.
What were you doing?
I thought I'd clean up the room before I left.
I see.
Could you please...
run a fingerprint for me?
What fingerprint?
Behind this chair.
I'd like to check the fingerprints on here.
Anyone who came in this room could've moved this chair.
What's so suspicious?
Well...
All the fingerprints will be of the officers.
You're right.
Still, could you please do it for me?
Okay.
I'll take care of it.
You can go home and rest.
- Thank you. - No problem.
Hello?
(Boxing)
(The Mill)
Did you pick this apple from a tree?
Why are you sweating in the winter?
Where is your mom?
She went home to get changed.
Because she was here all night.
What about the doctor? Did he come by?
He said I could go home in a couple of days.
Well...
Does it hurt a lot?
It does,
but...
I'm okay because they gave me painkillers.
Hey. Don't frown.
I didn't get hurt trying to save you.
A witness came to us after 10 years,
and someone tried to kill him.
Unless someone was trying to cover up my dad's suicide case,
Mr. Choi had no reason to be killed.
I really wanted to get him.
The one with the knife.
If I find out who hired him, I can get more clues.
I didn't get stabbed by the knife...
intended for you.
Stop overreacting.
All right.
Don't ever do that again though.
I mean it.
Apple.
Since when I was young, I always had one when I was sick.
My dad used a spoon to scrape it...
and feed it to me.
It's weird and so old school, isn't it?
We were considered to be a wealthy family.
He could've just used a blender,
but he used a spoon like an old grandma.
Interestingly,
after I ate that...
I recovered the next day.
When I was in America,
I got really sick this one time.
My dad found out about it somehow and came to me.
He fed me an apple with a spoon all through the night.
He left when I fell asleep.
He was extremely busy,
but he came all that way because I was sick.
I...
really want to catch...
the culprit who killed my dad.
Aren't you going to go to work?
Yes.
I will.
I have to go somewhere before I go to work though.
Where?
Mr. Choi.
We need to know why he was released.
(Public Prosecutors' Office)
So...
you're here to argue with me.
No, I came here because I was curious.
Mr. Choi.
Why did you release him?
There weren't enough grounds for confinement.
I just didn't issue an arrest warrant.
He had no permanent residence.
Plus he was a crook with a lot of debt.
It's strange not to do a custody investigation.
Even I know that.
You're funny.
You sounded like a real cop just now.
Well, you did pass the police exam.
I guess it's not surprising...
to remember all the basics.
I have to go to work.
Won't you answer my question?
The day after Chairman Jin died,
a huge amount of money was transferred to Mr. Choi's account.
We obtained information that the money was from Lee Kwang Ho.
Who sent the money and why?
It was from Lee Kwang Ho to shut him up of course.
The last person to witness Chairman Jin's death was...
Mr. Choi.
Then Chairman Jin's death was...
Does that mean Manager Lee was involved in Chairman Jin's death?
You can look into that yourself.
You must not know Lee Kwang Ho that well.
If that was true, Mr. Choi would've been dead already.
Lee Kwang Ho would never use his money...
to shut anyone up.
I agree with that.
Then...
why do you think he killed Mr. Choi all of a sudden?
Because...
he found a good reason to kill him.
A reason that didn't exist before?
What could that be?
He wanted to put you in a pickle.
Aren't you the one who's in trouble...
because of Mr. Choi's death?
This is the funniest thing I've heard ever since yesterday.
Would he really kill someone just so he could put me in a pickle?
Why don't you get it yet?
They're more than capable of doing such a thing.
No.
This is too big of a risk.
The cops would investigate something like this right away.
It's because they were in a hurry.
They just coincidentally...
happened to get me in trouble.
Then does that mean Mr. Choi actually...
knew something?
Maybe.
But he probably didn't know that...
it was something important.
Like what you said earlier,
they would've killed him already if he knew that.
They killed him...
because they figured that he'd spill something very important yesterday.
That means he was interrogated with the right question.
Hurry up, and think carefully.
What was the question that you didn't hear the answer to?
Do you remember the face of the first detective?
[VIU Ver] E21 Doubtful Victory "Someone Told One of the Victims" -= Ruo Xi =-
You're here.
You should've come to work early today.
We spent all night looking through the surveillance footage.
Inspector Park spent all night examining Mr. Choi's autopsy.
Sergeant Kim. Sergeant Kim.
Yes?
Hey, you're here.
- You should come to work early. - Sergeant Kim.
I already scolded him.
Oh, did you?
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
And by the way,
check this for me.
It's the surveillance footage of the culprit's escape route.
Look at it carefully, and follow where he went.
Hello, sir.
Do you guys have anything?
Like we expected, there's no footage of Mr. Choi getting stabbed...
because there was a group of people surrounding him.
And there were no cameras where Lieutenant Jin got stabbed.
We checked...
a similar looking person entering the subway station.
Officer Oh can check the rest of the footages.
You guys can finish off checking the rest of the footages.
Officer Oh.
I want you to look into Mr. Choi.
I could tell by his autopsy that he was killed by a professional killer.
He got killed in one go.
That means he had to be killed no matter what.
Yes. On top of that, he was killed in a hurry...
in front of the National Police Agency.
Yes. That's why I want you to look into Mr. Choi a little more.
Yes, sir.
Are you going to send him by himself?
Of course not.
He's Jin Young's avatar.
She's not the type to stay bedridden in the hospital.
I knew it. Inspector Park knows me very well.
He told you to be discreet.
He said you're up for a disciplinary hearing...
for getting involved in the case.
You don't need to explain. I already know.
So tell me. Where did you visit?
I went to Mr. Choi's office and the cricket farm.
But he seemed to have just rented those two places for a day.
He just used them to commit fraud.
Then we'll have to go see his family first.
(Homyung Funeral Hall)
I cut ties with him after we got a divorce, so I don't know anything.
I honestly don't even want to hold a funeral for him,
but I'm just doing this for the kids.
Oh, I see.
You can see from his credit card statement that...
he showed up in that neighborhood mostly in the morning and night.
Have you seen this man before?
Thank you.
That means he lived somewhere nearby.
No.
There's not a single person who knows Mr. Choi.
I got nothing the entire day.
There's nothing on the surveillance footage either.
That killer must've gotten changed in the subway before running away.
The others all went home. They were exhausted.
Hey, I got it. It's open.
My gosh.
Let's open the attached file.
Let me save this.
(How to send a fax)
Now, I just have to...
click "Print".
Hey, it's working.
Hey, I have a lot of stuff here.
Goodness. Anyway, thank you.
I did it for my own comfort, so do it well.
I'm going to sleep now. Bye.
(General Manager Kwak, Assistant Manager Ki, Killer)
(General Manager Kwak, Assistant Manager Ki,)
(Killer)
Here you go.
Oh, thank you.
(Forensic Science)
This is instant coffee. I don't drink this because it's too sweet.
Oh, I see.
And I got you the fingerprints from the chair in the interrogation room.
- You got the results? - Yes, I did.
But like I already told you,
I got a bunch of fingerprints that belong to detectives.
My shoulders ached so much after I was done.
Let me get you something else for you to drink.
No, it's okay.
You're a newbie who asked for this favor out of passion. It's fine.
Can you tell me which detective was the last one to touch the chair?
How would I know that?
But the one who touched it last would obviously...
have a clearer fingerprint than the one who touched it before.
Then it must've been Lieutenant Jin's fingerprint.
No, it wasn't...
hers.
Open it. Let me check it again.
(Results of Fingerprint Analysis)
Look.
Here's Chief Jang's fingerprint.
You can see that it's really clear.
Chief Jang Pil Sung?
His fingerprint was on top of Lieutenant Jin's.
He's such a busy man.
I can't believe someone in such a high position...
would enter the interrogation room.
- Gosh. - Are you saying...
Chief Jang touched the chair later than Lieutenant Jin did?
Yes.
Have you been listening to what I've been saying?
(Data Processing Room, Imagery Data Room)
(Fingerprint Analysis)
(Jin Jin Young, Jang Pil Sung)
What are you doing here?
- Why aren't you going inside? - Hello, sir.
Look at you being tardy when you're just a rookie.
You're here.
What are you doing in my office?
You're the one who came late.
You asked me to come as soon as I came to work.
Did you fly here? Why did you come here so early?
- How's Jin Young doing? - She seems to be doing better.
It looks like she wants to get discharged.
She's not the type to stay in the hospital for long.
What about the killer?
Do you have anything?
We've just started investigating.
I don't think he left anything behind.
So you won't look for him?
I'm just stating the facts.
We're thinking about checking Mr. Choi's acquaintances.
There's nothing more to get from there.
Gosh, I'm getting so stressed these days.
Your team makes trouble every time.
Just let everything go, and deal with the small cases.
A case can't be measured by size.
May I leave now?
Didn't you say...
your friend was a television producer?
Do you want to be on TV?
Will you run for a local election or something?
A local election?
No, I thought it might help promote Hidden Crimes Team.
But my friend is a home shopping producer.
If you need to sell something...
Never mind.
You and your connections...
You may leave.
When we were doing...
Baek Kyung operation...
Who?
That contract killer who committed suicide?
Yes.
Did you talk about...
the operation to anyone?
Who would I tell that to?
Is there a problem?
Min Pyo said...
he only reported it to you.
I think the operation information was leaked.
So what's your point?
To whom did the information leak to?
Never mind if it wasn't you.
I'll get going.
Prosecutor Kim Yoon Su is...
the prosecutor in charge, right?
He seems to be getting the short end of the stick these days.
I'll get going now.
I mean...
Why do I need to quit, Assistant Prosecutor General?
A prosecutor is a public servant.
You can't fire me just because you don't like me.
I won't transfer to the countryside.
If you look at the Prosecutors' Office Act...
He always hangs up when I tell him...
to go by the book.
You're here. Sit down.
These creditors.
- You interviewed them. - Yes.
I questioned them as testifiers that day.
By the way,
will you continue being in charge of the Hidden Crimes Team?
Officially, no.
I'm waiting to be assigned.
Well, then it's a little ambiguous then.
I'll continue.
How did these creditors know he'd be there?
It seems like someone told them that his arrest warrant...
would be lifted.
They should've been waiting at the lockup.
How did they know he'd be in the Prosecutors' Office?
Well...
Someone told one of the victims.
Who did?
It must've been the prosecution.
Since you guys would've know about it first.
Even if we contacted them,
they wouldn't have gotten there that quickly.
Mr. Choi left only a few minutes after...
we received a call from the prosecution.
From the prosecution? Who?
Let's see the number of the person who called us was...
this.
Could you call him?
Here.
Mr. Park?
Mr. Park.
