He's here.
Who are you guys?
We are from the Prosecutor Office.
There is a report that this is illegal political funds.
Take it.
Who ordered you?
Hold on.
I said, whose order are you following?
It's me.
Long time no see, Detective.
Prosecutor Joo Ha Min?
Starting today, I have been transferred to the Search Unit.
That professional... was you?
What do you mean by professional?
You are a talented prosecutor. What is with this timing?
Why don't you explain so I understand.
Excuse me, but what is your job exactly?
I'm a detective.
Yes, you're a detective. And I'm a prosecutor.
That should be enough of an explanation.
I am under no obligation to answer your questions.
You always seem to forget that fact.
Sorry if I upset you.
I am an easy-going person.
Ah, you should take this too.
They are photos of the crime scene.
You are complying faster than I expected.
No, I have already thoroughly examined the apple boxes,
and I found a tail.
I am only a civil servant. What are you saying since earlier?
Do you know Locard's Exchange Principle?
The first principle of forensic science
all criminal will leave something at the crime scene. It is that famous principle.
When two object interacts, it leaves behind a trace.
Do not forget that.
After you leave work, you should get your clothes laundered.
I see a lot of dusts.
Thank you.
Then I will also give you an advice.
You job is to find the dust, and mines is to determine how relevant it is.
If I say it is nothing, then it's nothing.
So do not carelessly touch a prosecutor in the future.
So uptight.
I also wish that I'll have no reason to touch another prosecutor's body.
What is this?
Look into that Prosecutor Joo.
Why?
This case is too big for an ordinary prosecutor.
If there are more people involved,
and under whose order they are following,
we need to find out. Right now.
Yes.
Does the law work like this?
We have been investigating for days and they just took the money.
Aren't you mad at being look down upon like this?
Forget about the money, Detective Choi.
I'm not the type to get harmed by just one prosecutor.
[Seoul Metropotitan Police Agency]
Can you guys understand it?
The police's investigation rights should be hindered like that.
Police and prosecutors have to work together. That is how the system should works.
Let's get it past Congress and discuss it.
Don't you agree with me?
How you feel about it, let's open it up for discussion at this time.
Oh, and I don't usually say this with my own mouth,
but our country has an arrest record of 80% on major crime.
Of that, I am the number 1 in solving them. Who? Me.
Okay, then today's first question
is from the very smart and handsome looking boy in the front row.
If you are number 1, then why didn't you become a prosecutor instead of a police officer?
Good question.
Then, can you answer this question?
What are you best at doing?
Eating pizza.
Then will you be a pizza when you grow up?
Sit down!
Why does your head keep shaking when you are talking to an adult? Where did you learn that?
Next question.
Yes.
Are you named Chun Jae because you are a genius? [chun jae = genius]
Good girl.
You have really sharp eyes.
I want to become a police officer like you.
Your name is Cho Rong?
So you're name is Cho Rong since your eyes are so sparkling. [Cho Rong = shining/sparkling]
What are you doing after this? Let's get an Americano afterwards and I can consult you on your future.
The kindergarten school won't send us anymore kids because of you.
So why did you call a busy person to do that?
You are the one who shows up in interviews all the time.
Don't you know how important good publicity is nowadays?
I don't care about all that. I did what you asked so hand it over.
Cheon Guk (Heaven's Gate) case file?
That case was from 24 years ago. Why look at it now?
I know we did several investigations here.
Give me the data like you promised.
There is no records.
Why?
It was set up to be a joint operation with the prosecutors.
The prosecutor lead the case so all the records are with them.
- You're here. - Yes.
What is all this?
Unsolved pending cases.
How about focusing on these rather than something else if you have free time?
You should focus on existing crime rather then one in the past.
- I'm heading out for a bit. - To where?
Just a moment.
Where are you going instead of working?
I looked into Prosecutor Joo Ha Min.
What kind of person is he?
K and S University...
Not those. Who are his backers?
He has none. At least not for entering the Prosecutor Office.
He did it all on his own.
Does that make sense?
It's possible. He wasn't in any special positions before his transfer to the Search Unit.
How about sponsors?
He never goes out to eat somewhere. His personal finance are also clean.
His character?
It is unexpected.
Eat your lunch.
Prosecutor, your lunch is in your office.
Yes, thanks.
Prosecutor, the female high school victim of sexual assault is in your office.
I told her the prosecutor in charge has been changed, but she still wanted to wait.
I understand.
I'm sorry. I was hungry.
It is my meal.
Don't think the world will be nice to you just because you are a victim.
There are no free meal.
I heard the prosecutor in charge was changed.
I don't like that prosecutor.
You didn't touch the fish and spinach.
Don't be picky.
You have no right to choose your prosecutor.
I know that too.
Then why did you come?
I don't want to go home.
I saw my mother writing a petition for leniancy.
What sort of mother would stand by the prepetrator rather then her own daughter?
There are more than you think.
Giving birth does not make you a parent.
Your family is poor, right?
Then choose between these two.
Being poor or being a good person.
It is hard to live your life being both.
Your step-father will get the highest sentence from the court.
Don't cry and go fight with your mother.
Scream and yell that you are in pain.
That enduring it for 2 years is more than enough.
He gets the trust of the victim.
There are not many prosecutor like that.
You saw it that day too, right? He came at me so viciously.
That is only what you think.
Whose side are you on?
Being too clean is unnature.
The 7 billion has been returned to our side.
We will process the funds as originally intended.
Detective Chun Jae In came by.
Yes, I managed to block it.
How about the Cheon Guk's investigation records?
I went to the Prosecutor Office to request access, but I was rejected.
Based on Criminal Code 226 Article 3 Section 2,
a prosecutor may refuse the disclosure of records.
Is there no other method?
We could sue to get the records,
but it would be long process and the chances of success are low.
Then what should we do now?
Let's go.
Where to?
To work.
Get lost! You bastards!
Get out of here!
What are you looking at?
It has been 2 hours.
Isn't the the wanted criminal in the stabbing of 2 police officers?
Yes, he was found today after going into hiding.
The situation?
He is asking for an escape route.
You want to see this woman dead?
Don't come closer!
Don't come, you bastards!
I'll ask from here.
I am Chun Jae In from Seoul Police Office.
Excuse me, but how was the hostage caught?
What do you mean?
I wasn't asking you. I was asking the hostage.
An express delivery. I opened the door since a package was coming today, and this person...
Shut up!
If you want to save this woman, clear the police from the area!
An express package? Where did you order from?
Home shopping.
Oh, home shopping. I also like home shopping.
So what did you buy?
Hey, you crazy bastard! Get out of here!
Ignore all those people. Please answer.
What did you buy?
T-Tangerine.
Tangerine?
Can I confirm it?
Do you really want to see this woman dead?
A boyfriend who doesn't care about his lover.
What sort of woman dressed like that opens the door to a strange man?
Also there are no express delivery today.
That said, you have no intention to kill that woman.
Catch him!
Oppa!
"Gangster dramatic arrest. Uses his lover as hostage."
Her son living in the countryside called the police when he couldn't get in contact with her.
She has no defensive wound, and there are trace of a blunt object hitting her head.
The room was ransacked after she died.
She must be rich.
She showed up on TV not long ago.
Why is there a mosquito in March?
After a mosquito sucks blood, it gets too heavy to fly.
It doesn't get further than 106.7 meters from the scene.
What does that mean?
There are no sign anyone else came in.
Grab a container from the kitchen.
A new search method was published in the 2016 Forensic Journal.
Human DNA can be extracted from blood taken from a mosquito bite.
Test whose blood this is.
If it not the grandma,
then a guest came by secretly.
"Kimbap Grandma Killed by Her Son." "Fight was over her donating her wealth to society."
This is the right leg.
This was the last piece.
Yes, but we haven't found the fingers so we cannot identify the body.
It is a clean cut.
It shows familiarity with knives.
Is it a hired killer? There are a lot of them coming from Japan recently.
No, this is someone with knowledge of anatomy.
A person skilled with using a scalpel.
And left-handed.
"Surgeon Kills His Wife."
I can't believe my own eyes.
All these ongoing cases have been solved.
Except this one.
What is that one?
The "X-Files" of senior government employees. [Sex trafficking case]
I see a VVIP in here.
[Director of Seoul Prosecutor Office, Jo Hye Shin]
There is not much time left in my tenure. Let me retire gracefully.
So why did you do it? You are the General Prosecutor.
Detective Chun.
Give me the information I want.
Is that all the information related to the Cheon Guk investigation?
The rest was given to the National Recording Institute.
That is not within our jurisdiction.
Give it to me.
Do you know what you are getting involved in?
In order to find that out, I am not releasing this.
Will you make the exchange for not?
I hope we will never meet again.
Goodbye.
You better take care of yourself.
Why there are so many dead and unidentified bodies floating in the sea,
please consider it.
[Cheon Guk]
Oh my, who is this?
What is it that you are calling me first?
I have a question.
No, I'll go to you.
Isn't your after-hour activities too simple?
Then what should I be doing as a prosecutor?
Eating one of the 4 forbidden things in Korea?
Sweets?
I'm going to grab myself some.
I thought you had a question.
That's right.
They why aren't you asking me?
Right now I am trying to understand you.
I will spend some time here before going home to rest.
So leave me alone for a while.
So you mean Soo In was killed when she was investigating the Cheon Guk case?
That's right.
The case was closed as a suicide, so why would Soo In...
There must be something to hid if you're willing to kill a reporter.
Jae In, I...
When your father died, I thought of you and Soo In as my own children.
I know.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a police officer.
A scientific investigator of the Republic of Korea.
Then let me request something.
What is it?
This case...
can you not investigate it?
Why are you saying that, Ahjussi?
It's not like you.
Why is it so hard to figure out the main character? I can't understand him.
Is he good or bad?
I don't know either.
I feel like I'm being fooled by the writer. It's confusing.
I do not know if he's good or bad.
That is good then.
Why?
It gives you a reason to read the next book.
If you're curious, you can come here again.
That's right. This is what I mean.
Tell me now, why are you doing this?
You're talking about the apple box case?
Yes.
I told you everything at that time.
It is a case that we are working on...
That was my first day after being transferred to the Search Unit...
And the Prosecutor Office has more power than you think.
We can only follow orders from above.
Those words,
I sincerely want to believe them.
That is not a good habit.
What?
Do not trust people so easily.
Regardless of who it is.
You are seriously confusing me.
So come see me again next time.
If I hurt your team's effort, then I'm sorry.
Forgive me this time.
I'll see about that.
I'm not saying that you are forgiven or anything.
It's sweet.
Tears and snot are salty.
What is it?
It's nothing.
You must often drink tears and snot.
Oh! But who said those words?
I definitely heard it recently.
Then I'll head in from here.
Okay.
Take care.
Go ahead.
If the bells ring, will I be able to find out?
Dad, what are you hiding from me?
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
I am sorry.
Sunbae.
What are they up to?
It's not like they are dating.
Do you know how the 31 corpses in the Cheon Guk case was discovered?
The records show that one staff members went back the mainland to report it to the police.
That's right. The center's manager.
Look at who it is.
[Statement (Reporter)]
The original reporter was Baek Do Gyu.
Baek Do Gyu?
The Chairman of Songha Group?
Baek Ah Hyun's father.
[Reporter: Baek Do Gyu Prosecutor: Lee Dong Jin]
CEO Baek was the center's manager then?
Not just a manager.
As I was investigating, I found the late president of the cult was a puppet president.
The real founder of the cult is CEO Baek.
Then Baek Ah Hyun's memorial service at that church was...
not accidental.
CEO Baek is an elder of that church.
How could he do that? 31 people lost their lives.
The group leader is the one responsible but he let Pastor Wang be the head of church.
At that time, he had no sin to speak of.
Pastor Wang was deemed to have nothing to do with the incident with Cheon Guk.
Only CEO Baek was sentenced to 1 year, and that was just for abetting and corruption.
Since he had no record, it was possible.
It is not enough since it is only a hunch.
It's a list of those who died in the case. Even their address.
We can confirm it one by one. I have somewhere to go.
We have a progress briefing with the department head today.
You handle it yourself.
Where is Chun Jae In? He said he give his report to me.
He received an important call and had to leave.
What?
It's true.
Really.
You've worked hard.
Please continue to watch Detective Chun Jae In and report back to me.
Yes, I will tell the elders.
Okay.
The list has been revealed.
You also come to this salon?
What are you doing?
This is a gentle perm. I heard it is popular nowadays.
Not that. What are you doing here?
I think you're here to see me.
For that and for this perm.
If you didn't come, it is not like I lost anything.
What do you want?
I have something to ask you.
I hope that it is something new.
Not "Do you like science" like last time.
Where did you go to primary school?
The question really is new.
Just type my name into the internet and the answer should show up.
No, not Seoul Private Elementary School.
Didn't you change school when you were 8 years old? From a small island.
Just get to the point.
I hate people mumbling around.
Sure.
Yesterday, a prosecutor gave me some information.
I discovered that your father had a surprising past.
Was it the manager of Cheon Guk's Welfare Center?
Cheon Guk?
Oh my, that brings back memories.
For some it was a place of tragedy,
but I guess you remember it with nostalgia.
Do you know why I spend my time serving the community?
Looking at you, I'm sure it not to emulate Mother Teresa.
Even though I'm a cheobol daughter,
having there be people who have similar house, similar cars, and similar clothes
doesn't make me feel good.
People get happiness from comparing things.
That place is the same way.
Cheon Guk's Welfare Center.
Only I had princess-like clothes and pretty dolls.
Sometimes I would toss down snacks
and the children would cluster around like insects.
Children?
Looking at them, I realized something.
Ah, my existence is very special.
Your father killed 31 people there.
In my father's hospital right now at least 310 people die every year.
Some died from illness. Some also die from malpractice.
Even doctors would died from overwork.
So,
what is problem with 31 dead people?
Kim Jung Seo, Hwang Dong Hyuk,
Song Yoo Jeong, Park Jung Sik
They have names.
Then they must also have family.
Do you...
perhaps know Popeye?
I don't know.
Isn't a character from a comic?
It's not. It's someone you should know.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The serial killer, Han Sang Goo,
it seems you have some relationship with him.
Han Sang Goo said something before he died.
"Popeye is waiting."
Popeye is likely the person who was manipulating Han Sang Goo.
If you happen to know him, tell him for me.
It isn't Han Sang Goo,
but me who is waiting.
Most of the deceased's family members have either died or have no follow up address.
There are only 5 that you could contact?
Yes, I made an appointment to see Choi Hyeon Soo's family at 5:00.
Hello, this is Kim Dan.
I'm Choi Hyeon Soo's older sister.
Yes, we are on our way there. I think it'll be 20 minutes more.
No, don't come.
What?
I have nothing to say, so don't contact me or my family anymore.
What is this? Why are they avoiding us after agreeing to meet?
I know. It wasn't like this when we called them yesterday.
There is only one person left.
Yes, let's head there for now.
I was told that a young lady was coming, but who are you?
It's here.
Grandma.
No need to come in.
Why bring up a case from twenty years ago back up again?
Didn't you say you had something to tell me over the phone?
That man died for a cult after leaving home,
I don't think of him as my child anymore. Get out.
Hold on. Grandma, hold on.
Did anyone perhaps come before us?
What did they say? Were you threatened? Or was it money?
Stop, Sunbae!
You lost your only son, what else are you afraid of?
- Go away! Go! - Wait! Wait!
Stop it! I said, stop!
Why are you like that?
How about you?
They may be the last clue we have to this case!
They are humans! Not clues, but humans!
It has been 24 years.
To the deceased family, it has been a more painful and unforgettable time than anyone else.
That grandma moved 12 times.
In order to avoid the media and questions from the neighbors.
I know you are in a hurry. You also lost a family member.
But let's be understanding.
Give them a little more time.
I don't often say these words personally,
but just now,
I was wrong.
Sorry.
Good.
That is a police from the Republic of Korea.
But why are you speaking to me causally?
You also hit my arm.
I could have been hurt.
Wait a minute.
Head back first.
What did you do?
I just left my greeting.
Let's go.
Grandma, people would say I was possessed by ghost and point their fingers at me in the past.
Fortunately, I grew up strong and cheerful.
That is because my dad was always protecting and believing in me.
Even if the world abandoned him, I hope you can trust your son.
What other people say might not be everything.
It is spring outside.
Don't just stay at home. Go out and get some sun.
My poor child.
You're here?
Have you eaten?
Not yet.
What to do? We only made reservation for 2 people.
That's no problem.
Why did you call me?
That Detective Chun Jae In went to the salon to meet Ah Hyun today.
He must be fishing around for clues. Not just Ah Hyun, he is also looking into the suicide note.
He knows that I was the welfare center manager before.
Are you doing your job or not?
I am sorry.
Dad, don't be so harsh on him.
You must be hungry, right?
Want a bite?
It is sea bream sashimi.
You can only get a few pieces of that from a 4 kg carp.
Without the money, you'll never taste that.
That's alright. I don't eat raw fish.
Isn't there a famous American chef who says something like that?
"Tell me what you eat, then I'll tell you want kind of person you are."
Well spoken. He is right.
Doesn't the food you eat show your class?
I think there is a person whose one step ahead of us.
Who is the person?
Someone who can predict our next move. Someone from the inside.
CEO Baek or Pastor Wang?
No, a police or prosecutor.
I think he has a direct line to the team and the investigation.
We went all the way there and got nothing. What now?
I haven't given up yet on those people.
Will the family members change their minds overnight?
Even so, there are still others we haven't reach yet.
What are you playing now?
A play to let you know what class you are.
Do you think I would feel humilated if you do that?
You think that was the only thing Chun Jae In asked me?
He said the serial killer, Han Sang Goo,
left behind some interesting last words.
Last words?
Be obedient and I'll tell you.
For your information, I still haven't told my dad about it yet.
Weren't you working overnight today?
Yes, I was, but something happened on the way there.
Eat it.
I bought it on the way home.
What is it?
Isn't it walnut cake?
How did you know I've been craving these for several days?
I bought it since I knew you like it.
I'll take a shower.
What is she working on that she doesn't have time to rest?
What is it?

[Cheon Guk's List of the Deceased]
"1994..."
"...survivers"
"Whoever lost their family member due to the 1994 Cheon Guk incident, please contact us."
Okay, I will call you.
How about this?
"Whoever lost their family member due to the 1994 Cheon Guk incident, please contact us."
You've worked hard, Kim Dan.
But I wonder who reads newspaper nowadays.
It is from 24 years ago.
People who lost their family then might be more familiar with newspaper then the internet.
Even so, don't expect too much.
I took care of it. They won't say anything.
Don't be too sure.
Don't try to teach me. I am a messenger of God.
I will not listen to anyone but the Pastor.
Even if only for the Pastor, everything from then to now,
must have no mistake.
It has been a week. Just give up.
Wow, these boiled sweet potato are really good.
Ohlala, the leader is now using a smartphone. You gotten used to it, haven't you?
Since Rep Chun gave me this phone, four people have called.
Who are they?
They should be government workers.
Give it to me. I'll take a look.
"The day is cold. You must have suffered a lot."
"But I cannot open the bank account, so if you can lend...
Leader! Is is spam! Spam!
Who reply to spam message these days?
Can I make one phone call?
Yes.
What is it?
Bong Soo Ahjussi!
Did your son really die there?
Number 30. At that time they didn't write his name, just No. 30.
Your son's name is Goo Sae Young?
He was 20 year-old. Goo Sae Young.
But why didn't you say anything before?
Everyone here has their own story, it isn't something to brag about.
I also have a lot of secrets.
Sorry to interrupt, but I have a lot of things to ask him.
Yes, let's go back.
How could you son go to that place? For what reason?
Was he involved in religious activities?
That's not it. He always rode motocycle and made trouble.
So one day I sold his motocycle.
That day, we fought and he left home.
When was that?
A few months before the incident?
He caused trouble even up to his death.
You were shocked, right?
I was angry more than shocked. He should have lived well.
I understand that feeling.
It's not sorrow,
but anger.
That's right.
I spent 4 months looking for him, and then he suddenly appeared before me as a corpse.
My insides burned with anger.
He was so skinny like he would skip meals.
I couldn't believe it.
At that moment, the only thought in the mind was that I should have fed him well before he left.
That I shouldn't have sold his motocycle.
It is not your fault.
Grandfather, I do not know if it can comfort you,
but I also grew up there. That is what I heard.
Then perhaps, did you know my son?
I'm sorry. I cannot remember what happened during that time.
I see.
I wasn't able to hold his funeral properly.
Everyone called him crazy and pointed their fingers at him,
as his father, as a parent,
I felt both afraid and ashamed.
So I did not give him a good funeral.
[Please Reveal How Songha Hospital Killed My Daughter by Overworking Her]
That woman whose standing there,
you said her daughter was a nurse, right?
She died because of overwork resulting in cerebral hemorrhage.
This is something I cannot handle.
Let the Legal team handle it.
She is only doing to to get money.
She said she doesn't need compensation but an apology,
and a promise to prevent this from happening in the future.
Aigoo, what a work.
Don't they know how hard their kids work as parents?
[Overtime work kills people!] [Save your child from being overworked!]
When buying clothes, there are pricy premium clothes,
regular priced ones from department stores,
and also ones sold at a discount.
For her daughter, 1 million won would be paying more than she is worth.
Sunbae, did you cry?
Me?
My eyes are normally like this.
You eyes are completely red.
It's allergies.
Ahjussi, why did you son die there?
I still can't figure that out.
You don't even know why he went there?
Not in the least.
You couldn't contact him either?
Before he died, he wrote a letter to me. There was no return address.
Do you still have that letter?
Of course not.
What was the content of the letter?
He said he was getting technical trade training, and for me not to worry about him.
Trade training?
I feel a little disappointed.
He never told that story to us.
He probably felt uncomfortable with it.
Will you buy or not? Why keep looking like that?
2,000 won.
I checked it out and it is true.
Eight people that applied for a trade program have died.
When was it?
2 weeks before the mass suicide.
Trade program?
It isn't useful to learn a trade in Cheon Guk.
Does that mean they weren't intending to die?
Do you think they really commited suicide?
Where were the bodies buried?
They were burned all together.
All except three families.
Bong Soo Ahjussi was one of them.
It can't be...
We have the check the corpse.
Where is Bong Soo Ahjussi?
He went to sell the recycled good.
Ohlala, he should have been back by now.
Thank you. You are such a nice man.
Don't mention it.
Drink this.
You don't need to.
You remind me of my father. Please drink.
Thank you.
Bong Soo Ahjussi!
Rep Chun.
I finally found you.
What else is it?
Want a drink?
Forget it, you drink.
- Ahgassi? - I'm okay.
Why does it smell like honey water?
What are you doing?
It is potassium cyanide. The smell is distinct.
Where did you get this?
From a young man who helped push my cart.
Who is it?
He was here before.
Kim Dan, you go that way.
He is not this way.
Not this way either.
Dig up the grave?
You can't. Definitely, no.
I know that it is hard for you, Ahjussi,
but you saw how that guy tried to kill you.
There must be something to this matter!
Even if I die, I won't let my son die twice.
We are begging you.
Let's go.
We'll come again another time.
Grandfather, this...
Your son made this, right?
This wooden doll that your son made for you,
he made me the same one.
He was good at making things with his hands since childhood.
He said he wanted to be the best carpenter in the country.
Go find out about the wooden doll and confirm the grave with the grandfather.
I will go to the forensic lab to confirm the body.
Yes.
Potassium cyanide?
Is he alive or dead?
Please act according to my instructions.
Don't continue to be like this.
Order from above.

Where are Chun Jae In and Kim Dan? Hurry and call them.
- Yes. - Let's head out!
Yes, sir!

Shall we go back to the station first?
No, turn around.
Yes.
