01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

What do you mean, he's dead?

I received a photo.

Not a fake one like this.

But a real one of Ko Se-hun, dead.

Where is this photo?

It's gone.

I tore it up and ate it.

You ate it?

Do you find this amusing?

What if there were

someone else

who wanted him dead besides us?

What if

that someone k*lled him to get to you?

Who else would do such a thing

besides you?

What the hell have you done?

- Is he dead?

- No way.

- Let's go.

- This way.

I heard he went missing.

Oh my God!

- What is it?

- Is he dead?

I think he's dead!

Ms. An.

- Hello, sir.

- Hello.

He was found in that freezer.

Turns out Ko Se-hun was on trial

two years ago.

On trial?

Yes.

It was a juvenile case,

so the court kept it sealed.

PROTECTIVE DETENTION NO. 5

- It went unreported due to COVID-19.

- And the victim's family?

Both the victim and her father

committed suicide.

I'll look into the rest of the family too.

He hasn't said a word.

He lost his son and daughter-in-law.

And now his grandson. It's no wonder.

Sir, I--

May I

go now?

I'm sure we need to talk.

Let's talk next time.

Later this afternoon,

Se-hun's autopsy will take place.

I'll be in touch, sir.

We have tragic news.

Ko Se-hun, who went missing last Friday,

was found dead this afternoon.

This is the house that's been vacant

for months since Ko's parents' m*rder.

Ko was discovered frozen

inside a freezer in the basement.

The police suspect Ko,

who went missing last Friday evening,

was m*rder*d

after being imprisoned inside this house.

They are looking for leads

through forensic examination.

Why are you staring at me?

Authorities have stated

that signs of a struggle

It wasn't you,

was it?

Ko would have suffered extreme pain.

- No suspect has been identified yet.

- What was?

With a possible connection

to Ko's parents' m*rder in mind

Never mind.

Four months after his parents' m*rder,

Ko has also been brutally m*rder*d.

The tragic news of this family

has left the public in shock and mourning,

while also raising questions

According to authorities,

the brutal m*rder

and the method of body disposal

point toward premeditation

rather than a spontaneous act.

Further investigation is underway

to determine the exact cause of death.

The police are tracking

the suspect's movements

LAWYER JANG JEONG-GU

by reviewing CCTV footage and entry logs

surrounding the crime scene.

They have also requested an autopsy

from the NFS

to determine the exact time of death

and how the m*rder was carried out

and are conducting a thorough analysis

of the crime scene evidence.

Mun-jun, can you pick Sop up

from the kindergarten?

And please look after her for a few days.

I'll explain everything later.

Please take good care of her.

Meanwhile, a past interview with Mo,

who m*rder*d Ko's parents,

has attracted renewed attention.

Here's what she said.

I'm sure you know,

but your mom and dad

weren't exactly good people.

Blame your parents

for making you pay the price.

Mo's remarks sparked

a major controversy at the time

What if there were

someone else

who wanted him dead besides us?

What if

that someone k*lled him to get to you?

The police are focusing on

uncovering the motive and the connection

between the two cases.

Currently, the investigation team

is conducting various background checks,

including on Ko Se-hun's family ties.

In particular, Ko's friends and neighbors

provided character statements about him,

helping the team establish

the context of the case.

The police are also checking CCTV footage

and communication records

to trace his movements

before and after the incident.

So who is it?

Ruler.

3.0 cm.

2.5 cm.

3.5 cm.

3.5 cm.

This may be very distressing, sir.

Would you still like to stay?

Scalpel.

The immediate cause of death

was the four stab wounds to the neck

NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE

piercing the carotid artery.

There's a clear strangulation mark

and signs of urinary incontinence.

Signs of urinary incontinence?

So they strangled him

with the intent to k*ll?

It means they almost did.

But they finished him off with a knife?

And the estimated time of death?

The frozen state of the body

makes things uncertain.

But the burger remnants

found in his stomach

indicate he died

about two hours after consumption.

I understand. Thank you.

Thank you.

Sir.

I'd like to hear from you now.

When you reported him missing,

you said he wouldn't be able to return

to his old neighborhood.

I don't recall.

Was that due to the incident

that put Se-hun in court two years ago?

I don't know.

It drove the victim and her father

to commit suicide.

You know that, don't you?

I don't know.

Sir.

You need to tell us everything you know.

So we can--

I don't really know

anything about that incident.

I was estranged from my late son

and his wife.

I HOPE HE DESERVES TO DIE

I'LL ALWAYS WATCH YOU AND ROOT FOR YOU

WHEREVER YOU ARE AND WHATEVER YOU DO

You don't have much time.

Don't get any funny ideas.

If you don't k*ll him, someone else will.

If that person fails,

I'll send another person.

Either way

that kid

is going to die.

LAWYER JANG JEONG-GU

POOJIM BAKERY & CAFÉ

I had asked Mr. Jin for a favor.

To help me meet with Mo Eun.

I wanted to know why she attempted suicide

just before testifying.

But then

I saw you at the hospital,

running off in a lab coat.

Second floor.

Doors closing.

I thought, "What is Ms. An doing here?"

"Why is she in a lab coat?"

"Where's she going in such a hurry?"

Why were you at the missing kid's No.

Why were you at the scene of his death?

How did you know?

Did you have something to do with it?

Did you really make

some kind of deal with the Witch?

Please say something.

I'm your lawyer.

At least let me pretend to trust you!

There's something

I've always wanted to ask but never did.

Why did you appoint me

as your lawyer?

You should leave now.

Ms. An.

Oh, that's ours.

- Thank you.

- Enjoy.

Let's sit at the back.

Coffee will be served soon.

Please enjoy.

Thank you.

I'm just taking a two-hour nap.

Huh? Yun-su!

You've lost even more weight

since last time.

- Are you here with Sop?

- Was it you?

That kid, Ko Se-hun.

Was it you?

What do you mean?

Didn't you k*ll him

because Mo Eun told you to?

I k*lled him?

Let go.

What are you doing?

Stay still.

Enter your passcode.

You're not close with Mo Eun, are you?

Yu-ri! Not there.

It's in the storage room.

- Don't move.

- Bring two.

This one?

My parents own this place.

If I scream right now,

everyone outside will come running in.

But I won't.

Because Mo Eun told me to just watch you.

What does she have on you?

Have on me?

She's got nothing.

Because Mo Eun

is a good person.

Do you trust that woman?

She saved my life.

And she extended a hand to me, the fatty

who no one ever cared about.

The victim had an older sister

named Kang So-hae.

She died in a car fire a year ago

near the Chiang Rai border.

The sister, Kang So-hae,

moved to Germany

at the age of 17 to study.

She finished medical school there

and did

international medical volunteer work.

She was in a refugee camp in Chiang Rai

for two years.

There's little to no record of her

here in Korea though.

Please contact someone

in Chiang Rai yourself.

All right, I will.

Okay.

PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE

So

this was an open-and-shut case at first.

CASE NUMBER: 2020 PU 14

CLIENT: KANG SO-MANG

"The male student sexually assaulted

the female student after getting her drunk

and secretly filmed it."

That was the story.

The evidence was solid,

and the perpetrator also admitted to it.

But the trial dynamics changed?

The perpetrator's family

was quite influential.

They'd pulled strings here and there.

All the testimonies

started to turn against the victim.

They said, "It wasn't r*pe."

"She drank with him

and came on to him first."

And one even stated

that she was a sugar baby.

Did Kang So-mang take her own life

because of those rumors?

It wasn't just the rumors.

During the trial,

the perpetrator distributed the video

to her acquaintances.

Basically, to everyone

in her phone contacts.

Please.

Please pick up.

MY SIS♥

I told you that you'd pay for this.

Did you think I couldn't?

KO SE-HUN

TO: ME, 146 MORE

ONE VIDEO ATTACHMEN

Don't.

- Stay still.

- Should I film it?

I'm fine.

Start filming. I said stay still.

But all he got

was Protective Detention No. 5?

He was a minor.

THE LATE KANG SO-MANG

She just got discharged.

A proper procedure will--

Shall we go to the prosecutor's office

or handle it here?

Here is fine.

In the end,

Ko Se-hun also died.

How do you feel?

Couldn't say.

"2020 Pu 14, Defendant Ko Se-hun."

"Violation of the Youth Protection Act."

"Verdict on the Production

and Distribution of Obscenity."

"The defendant, Ko Se-hun,

is charged with recording a video

of himself

engaged in sexual activities

with the victim

and sending it to everyone

in her phone contacts."

You look as if you have no idea

what I'm talking about.

If he sent it to everyone

in the victim's contact list,

I suppose her father

and her older sister saw it too.

She would've been devastated.

That's why she took her own life.

And her father, guilt-stricken

for failing to protect his daughter,

made the same choice.

Her only sister

died in a car accident in Thailand.

Goodness

What a tragic family.

Yes.

You wouldn't have heard this.

It's a statement

from the victim's classmate, "P."

"The victim

had shown interest in the defendant,

and I witnessed excessive physical contact

between them at a drinking party."

"The victim, Kang So-mang,

also spoke about her own experience

with sugar daddies

and encouraged it."

"As a result,

it is difficult to conclude

that the defendant

sexually assaulted Kang So-mang

through coercion based on the statements."

"Rather,

it is more reasonable to find credibility

in the defendant's claim

that sexual intercourse took place

with mutual consent."

Kang So-hae, Kang So-mang's sister

If she's alive,

her rage will be unimaginable.

She would've thought about

nothing but revenge.

People would've mistaken that

for psychopathy,

making it difficult to find any grudge

between you and your victims.

As for the polygraph,

the responses to the baseline questions

were false to begin with,

so it had to be inconclusive.

Is your name Mo Eun?

Yes.

Kang So-hae is alive,

and it was some other woman

who died in Thailand.

I wonder how that poor woman

ended up dying.

So

what are you trying to say?

You couldn't bear that Ko Se-hun

was alive.

That's why you used An Yun-su

and offered her a deal.

In the end,

it's back to

An Yun-su, isn't it?

You did not

k*ll Lee Ki-dae.

You did medical volunteer work

in a refugee camp,

spending years in a remote place

to save just one more life.

That's who Kang So-hae really is.

She couldn't k*ll anyone without a grudge.

DETECTIVE RYU JI-SU

Yes, go ahead.

We got the test results

for the hair collected at the crime scene.

It came back to An Yun-su.

Right, understood.

Because of your revenge,

An Yun-su has become a m*rder*r again.

This is on you.

Can I go now?

Oh yeah.

An Yun-su

did not k*ll Ko Se-hun.

That's who she really is.

GANGAN DAILY

This is Hong Se-yeong.

I'm calling because I have information

on Ko Se-hun, the m*rder victim.

Right. One moment, please.

What kind of information would it be?

There's a connection between the Witch

and Ko Se-hun's past crime.

If it's not much trouble,

may I ask who's calling?

Please just call me an anonymous source.

Okay, sure. Please continue.

It's a statement

from the victim's classmate, "P."

"The victim, Kang So-Mang,

had shown interest in the defendant."

"She spoke about her own experience

with sugar daddies and encouraged it."

KO SE-HUN'S JUVENILE COURT RECORD REVEALED

INVESTIGATION PROBING

POTENTIAL REVENGE MOTIVE

Wait here.

Inmate 407,

wait until visitation's over

and head back with the others.

Damn it. I'm off now.

Controversy over poor construction

has come under scrutiny once more.

Hey! Did you go and see your boyfriend?

You little brat.

He's not my boyfriend.

If a guy shows up at a women's prison,

he's either your boyfriend or creditor.

Fortunately, it has been confirmed

that their lives are not at risk.

However, future residents

I thought you'd live on hospital food

for longer. That was damn quick.

are planning collective action.

The Land and Transport Ministry is

Hey, how come you two didn't buy

anything today either?

You don't have anyone

to send you commissary money?

Man.

Hey, come here.

Snacks are on me today. Eat up.

What? What's going on between you two?

Did you fight?

Save it for after eating!

The juvenile court records

of the late Ko Se-hun have been released.

This disclosure

has triggered a new round of investigation

into his death.

Based on the records

Can you repeat what you said to me

that day?

investigating whether his prior offenses

may be connected to his death.

You said his family got divine punishment.

I believe that's what you said.

You know,

I actually knew the people you k*lled.

You see,

I believe what they got

was divine punishment.

You're "P," aren't you?

It has been confirmed that Mo,

the dentist couple m*rder case suspect,

has assumed a false identity.

According to the investigation,

the suspect's real surname is Kang.

At 17, she was selected

as a state-funded overseas student.

She graduated from medical school

in Germany,

and in Chiang Rai

- Get her!

- Oh my God.

No, don't! Stop it!

What's wrong with you?

Let her go!

That's why I said

I didn't like kids your age.

The police are focusing

on her motive and possible links,

including her complex family background

and false identity,

to uncover the truth behind this case.

An Yun-su is currently on her way home

from the bakery.

She still seems unaware

we found incriminating evidence,

so we'll carry out the arrest

at her place.

Hello, sir.

Where's An's probation officer?

She's on her way here.

This is the requested log of her movement

for the day Ko Se-hun was k*lled.

There's no record

of her going near the crime scene.

The lines are only plotted

around the kindergarten and her home.

Sorry I'm late.

- Hello.

- You're here.

Let me see An's records since her release.

Pull up her full movement log

from the day of her release until now.

Yes, ma'am.

- Please zoom in on those lines.

- Yes, sir.

On the 1st, 3rd, 4th,

and 6th of this month,

she took this route.

It matches Ko Se-hun's movements.

She would've tailed him

to decide when and where to k*ll him.

Can you be certain

of An Yun-su's movements

on the day of the incident?

Well,

around 7:00 p.m. that evening,

I received a call

saying her ankle monitor was broken,

and I went to her house to replace it

about an hour later.

Why are you

only telling us this now?

I didn't think

she could've done all that in an hour.

It was pouring down,

and factoring in travel time--

Who are you to make the call?

Sop says she misses you,

so we're on our way there now.

An Yun-su just got home.

Keep it calm, and carefully approach her

to make the arrest.

Yes, ma'am.

Huh?

Hey.

You know who I am, don't you?

Someone sent me this.

Don't be afraid.

I only came to hear the truth.

Would you like to come in?

Would you like a cup of tea?

No, thank you.

I think I'll have some.

One day,

I heard that my son and daughter-in-law

had been m*rder*d.

I spent my whole life as a soldier

and never once said a kind word to my son.

Even when he died, I couldn't cry.

But yesterday,

I found my grandson's body myself.

Inside a cold freezer.

Without knowing why this happened,

I felt I couldn't die.

That's why I'm here!

Get off me!

Get off!

What b*stard drives like

Wait. I think that's An Yun-su's car.

- Well? Follow her!

- Yes, sir.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

It's okay.

disrupted her circulation a bit.

Thank you.

You won't be seeing Inmate 407 again

We're busted.

Inmate 7137, get out here.

What are you doing?

My apologies.

How many times have I warned you?

Also,

Ms. Eom, what is she doing?

No!

No.

No!

No!
