VICTIM

Here's the wine bottle.

Harder.

Again.

It's not looking good.

If you go on like this,

you'll never get to see

your daughter again.

But

what if your husband had provoked it?

What if you acted in self-defense,

and it was unintentional manslaughter?

You'll likely get eight years

with mitigation.

If you become a model inmate,

you might get out in about five years.

It'll also save you from moral backlash.

Most importantly,

when your daughter gets older,

she'll come to understand you.

Harder.

Seriously?

- Let's turn it around.

- Shall I turn it?

Face the mannequin,

and stab it six times.

I'm here.

Don't close your eyes.

It wasn't me.

I didn't k*ll him.

Please help me.

I didn't k*ll him.

- Go back.

- Please believe me.

How could I k*ll my husband?

- Go back now.

- I didn't.

Please believe me just this once.

- Please, just once.

- Hold this.

Please help me.

Please believe me. I'm begging you.

Ms. An, if you didn't commit the crime,

you normally wouldn't agree to reenact it.

Why would you show up for the reenactment,

only to deny it?

Because I didn't do it.

Ms. An.

If I admit to it, then to my daughter,

I'd be her dad's k*ller.

That can't happen.

I can't say I k*lled him when I didn't.

Your Honor, please find out

the truth in this trial.

Order in the court.

Silence!

Ms. An,

are you denying the charges?

What are your thoughts on today's verdict?

I believe the outcome

was both natural and lawful.

More than the victory itself,

what matters is that justice was served.

LIFE IMPRISONMENT FOR TEACHER "A"

There's actually nothing to celebrate

when the victim can't be brought back.

But the defendant will pay for her crimes

in prison for life.

Do you expect the defense to appeal?

That would be up to them.

But it won't change anything.

We're going in now.

Going up.

I worked as a dental assistant

at their clinic for a year.

Throughout the year, they lorded over me

like it was second nature.

They'd called me over that day, too,

and bossed me around

like I was their maid.

Why make me prepare

a special meal for their birthday?

Is that why you k*lled them so brutally?

And the drug?

Did you come prepared with it?

I'd been carrying it in my bag

for a long time,

thinking I'd k*ll

those annoying, obnoxious jerks

if the opportunity came.

We also found

a surgical scalpel in your bag.

Did you always carry that around too?

Was that also meant for the couple?

No.

That's for self-defense.

The world is a dangerous place.

Have you ever used it

to hurt someone else?

No.

Not yet.

"Not yet"?

What about your fingerprints?

What happened to them?

This is from handling chemicals

at the clinic last year.

When I peel them off like this,

it feels good.

It doesn't feel like my own skin.

So that's why you've left them like that?

These might be useful to you, detectives.

But not so much for me.

Hey.

You think this is funny?

By the way,

could I get something to drink?

- You f*cking--

- Hey!

What kind of drink? Coffee or green tea?

Coffee, please.

No cream or sugar.

Come with me.

Detective Bae, coffee, please.

- Without cream or sugar.

- Sure.

You did well.

How much longer

do we have to treat her like a human?

You held it in. Good.

What do you make of her?

I'm not sure.

It's hard to tell.

Hard to tell what?

She's just a crazy b*tch.

- Thank you.

- No problem.

Dr. Lee, thank you for coming.

- Hello, sir.

- Seriously? This late?

I went home early for once.

I know. I'm so sorry.

What's she like?

She's answering all of our questions

almost too nicely.

"Nicely"? Do you really think

that word fits the likes of them?

Let me correct it to "precisely."

You didn't leave the scene and stayed

even after the couple was dead.

Were you waiting for something?

I'm not sure.

Then why did you remain in their house?

I just wanted to

watch the dead couple a little longer.

Psychopath--

Okay, then.

At the time, when the couple was dying,

what did they look like?

Their bodies

shook violently

like fish out of water.

Flopping.

They tore at their lips with their teeth.

Their eyes rolled back

with only white showing.

Their hands and feet twisted

like gnarled branches.

Their whole bodies writhed like that.

Slowly,

little by little

they died.

Ms. Mo,

you know how you said

you worked with them for a year?

As they were dying in front of you,

how do you think they felt?

Like their hearts were being ripped apart

and burned to ashes.

It would've hurt them a lot.

All the while,

regretting what they did to me.

Do you like cats?

I used to have one.

Did you play with it a lot?

No.

Did you ever do anything to hurt it?

No matter what they did wrong,

you shouldn't hurt an animal

that can't speak for itself.

Then why did you take it so far

with the couple?

No matter what they did,

they were still people.

That's wrong, isn't it?

It's because they were people.

Here.

Can you pick out the person crying

because they're sad?

By any chance,

is this a test for psychopaths?

Dr. Lee,

do I look like a psychopath to you?

Let us through.

Someone's going to get hurt!

- Hey, watch your step!

- Oh man!

What was your motive?

- Make way!

- How do you feel right now?

Do you trust the law?

- Aren't you sorry?

- Watch out!

- Make way! You'll get hurt!

- Later! I said later!

- Just say a few words!

- Did you even have a motive?

Answer one question! Just one!

Answer just one question!

The deceased couple had a son.

Anything to say to the boy left all alone?

I'm sure you know, but your mom and dad

weren't exactly good people.

Blame your parents

for making you pay the price.

- What do you mean?

- What are you saying?

Why did you stay at the scene?

Go on! Keep talking!

Inmate 2784.

Inmate 2784, An Yun-su.

Go to visiting room 4.

Figured it would be.

That's not like you.

Why did you do it?

Why did you do the reenactment?

How did Ki-dae end up being the bad guy?

What happened between you two?

Yun-su.

I'm on your side no matter what,

so just tell me everything.

Tell you what?

Whether I k*lled Ki-dae or not?

Is that what you're asking?

You know that's not what I'm asking.

I've said all I have to.

How's Sop doing?

I miss her, but she shouldn't come, right?

What is it?

Did something happen to Sop?

Yun-su.

- Mom.

- Yes?

Did you know Sop's mom k*lled Sop's dad?

Jun-u found out.

He keeps avoiding Sop.

Even though I know it's not true,

I don't think I can do this much longer.

No, Mun-jun.

What about Sop?

What is she supposed to do on her own?

Mun-jun, I can get out of here.

You know I didn't do it!

What good is it if only we know the truth?

No matter how much we deny it,

no one listens.

Sop will be taken to a good place.

The people there are kind.

I'll visit her every weekend.

- Visiting time is over.

- I'm sorry.

I'll make sure Sop is well cared for.

I'm sorry.

Think she'll last?

I'll bet a month's special meals

she'll hang herself in three months.

You f*cking b*tch!

For f*ck's sake!

Nature finally called,

and I was trying to concentrate like hell!

You f*cking b*tch!

You b*tch, why are you crying? What for?

Doesn't your damn kid

want to see you anymore?

She's never seeing you again, is she?

f*ck, not after k*lling her dad.

What the f*ck did you expect?

You piece of sh*t.

g*dd*mn b*tch.

Hey, you f*cking b*tch.

f*cking think about it, you shithead.

How the hell can she call the b*tch

who k*lled her dad "Mom"?

You listen to me, f*cking b*tch.

For the rest of your f*cking life,

you'll be nothing but a f*cking b*tch

to your damn kid, you b*tch.

You f*cking b*tch!

That f*cking b*tch.

The f*ck you looking at?

I'm going to rip your damn mouth open!

f*ck! You b*tch!

GYEONGGI BUKBU DETENTION CENTER

INMATE NUMBER 407

NAME MO EUN

Look straight ahead.

Face the sign forward.

Strip to your underwear.

What the hell has she done to her body?

Close the lid.

The watch

But I got permission earlier.

Get going.

- What a pretty face you've got.

- Stop.

- 2918, 1828, 5168. Step forward.

- What landed you here?

Hey, you've got my attention!

- Damn it. Hey!

- Quiet down.

The f*ck you looking at, b*tch?

- Quiet!

- Stop staring.

- How'd you end up--

- Be quiet!

Get going.

- Put the box down. Take off your shoes.

- Hey, come over here.

Can't you hear me?

Get against the wall.

- Against the wall!

- Did she self-harm?

She got into it with Rowdy in Cell 5.

I didn't k*ll him. It wasn't me!

Please. Someone, please believe me.

It's not me!

No one will believe

With Rowdy?

That b*tch can barely walk on her own.

God, that's why she ended up like that.

Her head was smashed into the wall

over and over,

but she never begged for her life.

If it were any lower,

you'd have a huge scar on your forehead.

Man.

You're thinking, what's a scar

to someone who wants to die, right?

They say when animals k*ll themselves,

they usually smash their heads into rocks.

- Hey, what is she

- What the hell?

- Hey!

- Hey, stop her! Hurry!

- Hey!

- What's wrong with you?!

Let go!

Guard!

Guard! Over here!

But even animals won't k*ll themselves

if they have little ones to care for.

I heard you have a little girl.

Surely you're not worse than an animal.

I'll take her if you're done.

Don't lift your head, ma'am.

Just stay lying down.

- She's going to solitary, isn't she?

- Yes.

She shouldn't move right now.

With head injuries,

an emergency could happen anytime.

Let her eat here,

and I'll check for dizziness

or nausea afterward.

Please don't talk

to the prisoner unnecessarily.

Yes, ma'am.

Mealtime!

I'm hungry. Hurry up.

Give us a big serving too.

- Yeah.

- You're getting plenty.

Just give it here.

Dear me.

She hasn't earned her keep yet,

and she's already at the table?

Sis.

Even the best views need a full stomach.

What should we do?

Earning her keep can wait,

but she needs to introduce herself

if she wants to eat together.

So what are you in for, babe?

Scamming rich guys?

Drugs?

m*rder.

Hey.

Are you telling me that you k*lled someone

with that face and those twig-like arms?

How did you k*ll them?

Even if my arms are thin,

they're strong enough to poison food.

Their bodies writhed,

and their insides burned.

That's how I k*lled them.

Yeah, right.

How dare you bullshit me

when you're only a newbie.

I'm not bullshitting.

Should I show you sometime?

I can whip one up

from a few pills lying around here.

Did you just smile?

You piece of sh*t.

You're f*cking dead, b*tch!

- You f*cking b*tch!

- Oh no!

This f*cking b*tch!

- Smile again, b*tch!

- Oh my God.

Hey! Smile again!

I dare you.

Smile again! You f*cking b*tch!

You g*dd*mn b*tch!

Get up, you m*therf*cker.

Let's give you a proper welcome today.

You f*cking b*tch.

You f*cking b*tch!

Come on, smile again. You b*tch!

Why don't you k*ll me too? f*cking b*tch.

f*ck!

f*cking c*ck for a b*tch who ain't sh*t.

Man.

This is the aorta.

The most vital part of a human,

yet the weakest.

Your blood will spray everywhere

with just a 1-mm tear.

The doctors here can't save you,

and you'll bleed out and die

on the way to the hospital.

What? You think this is bullshit too?

I can prove it right now.

What do you say?

Hey! Over here!

Help me!

What? What do you want?

There's a spider in here.

- Inmate 407, are you kidding--

- I have arachnophobia!

Even a tiny spider can paralyze

my whole body.

Please help me! I've got to get out!

Fine, come on out.

This room doesn't have any cobwebs,

so get inside.

Nothing's there, right?

You checked?

If you see another spider,

tell me right away

instead of causing a problem later.

You want to get out of here, don't you?

Who's there?

I saw you on the news.

I saw you yelling, begging everyone

to believe you.

"I didn't k*ll him."

"Please believe me."

"It wasn't me."

I've never seen

such a desperate face before.

Who are you?

A witch.

A m*rder*r.

A psychopath.

But to you, I could be an angel.

An angel that will get you out of here.

CELL 4, 407, MO EUN

CELL 5, 2784, AN YUN-SU

About your husband

I'll confess to k*lling him.

Admitting another m*rder

won't change anything for me anyway.

What are you saying?

It's not for free, of course.

There's something

you need to do for me too.

1 WEEK LATER

Inmate 2784, step out.

Get going.

What's she doing? So creepy.

She was quiet all week,

then suddenly got like that.

What am I supposed to do?

It's just 407 and me here tonight.

Let's go.

If you haven't eaten,

come and stuff your face.

Do you happen to keep

any newspapers around?

Look who decided to talk.

So do you keep any around?

Why would you look for them

during our damn meal?

They're right over there!

Thank you.

Well, you don't have to thank me.

She must like newspapers.

- Newspapers?

- Yeah.

Should've given them to her sooner.

IDENTIFIED AS A NEW KIND OF PSYCHOPATH

CARRIED POISON, SURGICAL SCALPEL IN BAG

READY TO k*ll AT ANY MOMEN

You're thinking

I'm some girl talking crazy, aren't you?

You're right. I am talking crazy.

Because it's something

no one in their right mind would do.

But still, in the end

Stop.

Inmate 2784.

we'll end up doing this crazy thing.

- Get in the cell.

- Inmate 2784.

- What?

- I called you, but you didn't answer.

Your attorney sent in

his notice of withdrawal.

I was going to fire him anyway.

You know you need an attorney

for a m*rder trial, don't you?

If you can't find one before trial,

you'll be assigned a public defender.

As you know, this isn't a trial

to determine your guilt.

You were arrested at the scene,

and you admitted to all your crimes.

The only thing up for debate

is your sentence. But even then

Let's go with

being as remorseful as possible.

By emphasizing the victims' wrongdoings,

you'll avoid the death sentence.

If you're lucky,

you'll get about 20 years.

How does that sound?

I don't need any of that.

Just do one thing for me.

You're not asking for

a psych evaluation, are you?

It won't just be rejected.

It doesn't work like that in Korea.

I have no desire

to be labeled a crazy b*tch.

I'd like a jury trial.

Look, that's if you have a reason

to ask the jury for leniency.

But you don't.

Isn't that better for you too?

You'll get the verdict in a day

with a jury trial.

Would you want to handle my case

for a long time?

The jury trial

for the Dentist Couple m*rder defendant

is being held today

at the Gyeonggi Bukbu District Court.

- What on earth was she thinking?

- I don't know.

requested a jury trial.

Her motive has sparked mixed opinions

within legal circles.

There is increasing speculation

about whether she is trying to move

a jury of ordinary citizens emotionally

or simply seeking public attention.

Some claim indiscriminate jury trials

are a waste of taxpayers' money.

Given the nature of jury trials,

it is highly likely that the final verdict

will be delivered today.

Get moving.

Check that they're yours and get changed.

They're mine.

Hello? Hey, I'm in the courtroom.

- Reporter Kim! Over here.

- Hello.

Just let me in.

Look, there's an empty seat over there!

Criminal Panel Trial No. 415 of 2022.

We will now proceed with the trial

of the defendant, Mo Eun,

who stands indicted for the m*rder

of Ko Byeong-su and Lee Ye-rim.

Please remove your mask

before the trial begins.

At 4:00 p.m. on June 6, 2022,

the defendant m*rder*d

Ko Byeong-su and Lee Ye-rim

at the victims' home

in Ilsan, Gyeonggi Province

by poisoning their food with aconitine

that was prepared earlier.

Furthermore, the defendant

committed a deeply disturbing act

by watching the victims die in agony

for approximately 20 minutes

without making any effort to help.

Your Honor

and members of the jury,

this case has clearly exposed

the brutal nature

of the defendant's crime.

The defendant's actions

extend beyond a personal conflict

and challenge society as a whole.

Therefore, the prosecution asks

that the defendant be sentenced

to life imprisonment, the maximum penalty.

Counsel.

Counsel.

Yes.

You have not spoken much today.

Will you proceed with a closing argument?

No, Your Honor.

Very well.

Members of the jury, this is not a trial

for guilt or innocence.

What you are asked to consider today

is the defendant's sentence.

It is indeed difficult to determine

the sentence of another individual.

Ms. Mo,

please stand.

Do you have any last words for the jury?

If you do, please address them directly.

Well, Your Honor

I have committed another m*rder.

What should I do about that?

Silence in court.

Ms. Mo, what did you just say?

Did you say another m*rder?

Yes.

Ms. Mo,

the courtroom is a solemn place.

Everything you say here must be the truth.

Therefore,

please answer carefully.

I'm confessing that

I've k*lled another person.

Order! Order in the court!

At the Dentist Couple m*rder trial

that was held this afternoon,

the defendant confessed to another m*rder

during her final statement,

which has left the nation in shock.

Why did you confess?

Why wait until now to confess?

MO CONFESSES TO k*lling

TEACHER A'S HUSBAND AT TRIAL

When I got to prison, I realized

someone else was locked up for my crime.

I didn't like that someone else

was getting credit for what I had done.

If Mo's confession turns out to be true,

it is highly likely that "A"

will be acquitted of her husband's m*rder.

In light of this, on the day of

You're thinking

I'm some girl talking crazy, aren't you?

You're right. I am talking crazy.

Because it's something

no one in their right mind would do.

But still, in the end,

we'll end up doing this crazy thing.

Exercise time is over due to rain.

Everyone, return to your cell blocks.

Exercise time is over due to rain.

Everyone, return to your cell blocks.

Yun-su!

Good luck!

Now

it's time to return the favor.
