Special Investigation Unit
presented their findings today
for the robbery-homicide at

and took their confession,
and have transferred them
to prosecution with
robbery-homicide charges.

(Year 2016)
Jung-gyu?
I transferred my duty
and hopped on the ferry.
How do I feel?
Nothing but bittersweetness.
Who's coming today?
Right, that's great.
I should arrive in Jeonju
in two hours, see you then.
Very well.
- We should give it a...
- He's here! Look!
Salute!
Sir, welcome!
Sit, sit, sit!
Eh? Rank-wise, I'm the baby!
Dude, how could you say that!
Once a boss, always a boss!
Not at all, to be on
your good sides,
I even brought this!
Reassigned to a land post
after a lifetime on the island
2 years before retirement,
my wife was over the moon.
She was asking
who I sucked up to...
Mad Dog Hwang Joon-cheol...
You got some crazy good luck
in your final years.
It was like yesterday
when I sweated ba*ls,
chasing perps with you.
Time flies, no?
Don't drink like that,
you'll k*ll yourself.
Come here.
What is with you?
These eyes aren't the same
vicious ones
from 16 years ago.
Mad Dog!
He became an island pup
after living there for a while!
What the hell are you
talking about, you idiot!
Salute! Inspector Park Jung-gyu!
Seeing you after all this time...
my heart...
my heart is!
That's enough!
He hasn't changed one bit.
He must be so happy today.
He pestered that jerk
for a favor,
and it all worked out.
What favor?
You didn't know?
How could that motor mouth
not tell you about it?
So Jung-gyu asked who
for a favor?
Deputy Commissioner Choi Woo-sung.
Section Chief Choi
back in the day.
Anyway, Jung-gyu begged
the deputy commissioner
to let you retire peacefully
in his district!
Oh my, where's my head at...
I promised my wife
I'd come by her restaurant.
Give Jung-gyu my love,
I'll head out first.
Sir! But we have to...
Why did you ruin the mood
by bringing that jerk up?
He asked me about it!
Honestly, we're only here
because Jung-gyu asked us to.
Hold up a second.
That's enough.
Why did you want to be a cop
after seeing him
go through all that?
Are you doing okay?
Isn't Yeongdeungpo
a tough district?
Sure.
I got used to the workload,
but the substation chief
is a hassle.
How? Is he a bit much?
He's always drunk,
and drinks again after work.
He's like dad.
Of all people in the world...
Your dad may be a softy now,
but people would shiver
when they heard his name.
Don't remember?
- Yeah, Mad Dog Hwang Joon-cheol.
- So right, Mad Dog.
You sure love fresh kimchi.
I heard you had to get a loan
to buy a house and this diner.
Sorry I couldn't be much help.
Stop worrying, just be a good cop.
Give me that.
Can't you go easy with drinks?
Something's fishy, give me that.
You brat, I told you to watch him!
Let him drink,
don't be too hard on him.
- Here, eat this.
- I'll be late for the bus.
You're going to go?
- Head back tomorrow!
- No, no.
I sliced these for you,
have a bite!
Eat! Eat! Eat!
Good.
I'll come by again.
- Do you want to take some?
- It's all right!
Have a safe ride back.
- Sure thing!
- Be careful,
call me when you arrive!
Bye!
It was a touch and go...
You want to be late for your
first day of work tomorrow?
Go easy!
(May, 2000)
(Wanju Police)
Salute!
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol!
As of May 3, 2000, I've been
assigned to Wanju Police CID!
Salute!
He was a top 3 performer
in all of Jeonbuk province.
I know, 'Mad Dog.'
You never let go
once you bite down, huh?
I don't bite everyone.
Yeah,
I heard you're useful
with a leash on you.
Welcome!
I was curious who was going to
take Wanju's best seat.
Good to meet you, chief.
- Hmm...
- What are you doing?
Since it's the best seat,
I'm wondering
if there's a honey pot...
You've put a talisman!
Your predecessor got
a special promotion
while working at
this desk right here.
- Did he get stabbed?
- What?
To get that special promotion.
When I caught a stick-up man,
I got stabbed 3 times,
and was promoted to lieutenant...
Protect and serve,
Crime Investigation Division.
Could I talk to
the primary detective
of the Woori robbery-homicide
case last year?
Yes, one moment.
He's asking about my predecessor.
What can I do for you?
Deputy Commissioner Choi
is at Jeonbuk Police now.
May I help you?
- What the hell?
- Yo, Park Jung-gyu.
Who's asking
for the deputy commish?
I'm not sure...
Sir...
I'm Criminal Affairs chief,
Kim Min-jae.
Hwang Joon-cheol,
good to meet you.
You don't have to worry about
getting stabbed in this tiny town,
you'll need a big case
for that promotion.
Sure thing.
- Let's move!
- Yes, sir!
Have you made a reservation
at Hyojachon?
Sure did, sir!
It's that time already?
Wait, what's that smell?
Isn't that the burning smell of
pork belly
our new chief is buying?
It ain't right to burn pork belly!
I like short ribs though.
Short ribs!
Will you stop it already?
I'm so sorry.
What did you say?
You saw him.
You saw that jackass
with a stiff neck!
Rude prick!
What's with him?
He and Chief Kim graduated
together at the academy,
but his entire unit was promoted
after solving the Woori case.
This idiot's jealous, that's all.
What do you know?
You think Jang and Kim
got the chops for promotion?
Choi Woo-sung lobbied for them!
Miss, am I right?
Choi Woo-sung?
He's the big shot!
Right?
To climb the ladders
in this country,
we need a proper superior
to lead us...
Sgt. Park!
Sergeant! Park Jung-gyu!
My predecessor Choi Woo-sung
rowed the ship that well?
Not you too, chief.
And I think Choi is
similar age as Jung-gyu.
An academy grad?
Yeah, 10th or 11th
graduating year, I think.
An elite... But never mind that,
Sgt. Park, can you run much?
What?
I'm going to get my entire unit
special promotions like Choi,
but to do that,
I need your full support.
Until I pick up speed, you hear?
Up for it?
- Stop!
- Running every damn day!
I'm too fat for this!
Go after him!
Split up!
You jerk!
Koo Jae-beom, you're under arrest
for armed robbery.
You have the right to
remain silent, anything you say...
Dammit.
You do it.
Anything you say
may be used against you!
Hello?############################
Is this Chief Hwang
of Wanju Police CID?
I am!
I'd like to report
several criminals.
The real K*llers of
the Woori Mart case.
What?
So, Hyun-su sold a pearl necklace,
baby birthday rings,
and a gold bracelet in Busan
and got $430.
He'd always say it
when he got drunk,
he said that's all he got
after k*lling a person.
I told that Deputy Choi
or whatever,
but I never heard from him...
You don't believe me either?
That's all I got.
Sit!
So, what you're saying is,
Cho Hyun-su from Iksan,
and his 2 friends from Busan
are the real K*llers
of the Woori granny?
And the 3 boys rotting away
in jail
- are all framed?
- Yes, that's correct.
Those punks are so diligent, eh?
They came all the way from Busan
to rob a small convenience.
You said Hyun-su is
a good friend of yours,
why'd you report him
to the police?
- You'll backstab a friend?
- Right.
I told him to turn himself in.
But he's so scared
about going to jail
and whenever he drinks,
he wants to k*ll himself.
Let's go.
One second, miss.
- What's with you?
- Come over here.
What is it?
When did I?!
Look at this punk playing dumb.
You said you went to
the crime scene recreation...
When the hell did I?
Remember what you said
after returning from it?
You said you went through
the busted front gate,
but the trio hopped over
the fence,
saying it was
all made-up nonsense!
Lee Su-il, you jerk!
Are you sniffing glue lately?
All this crap
so early in the day?
Piss off, prick.
What a lunatic.
You really are sniffing glue.
Did you provide backup
for the Woori case?
Of course, the entire
Wanju Police was involved.
Without a shred of evidence,
I thought our superintendent
was going to eat a ton of crap,
but Choi closed the case
in lightning speed.
- Case 16027, Samnye village...
- So they treated us
to puffer fish soup...
- ... crime reported at...
- ... child molester on the loose.
All patrols respond.
It's not too far, let's go.
It's kind of far...
Where?
I think he went the other way.
Looks like it,
let's check downstairs.
Let's just go for lunch.
I feel like Chinese.
You jerk!
Dammit, I almost died...
That's enough! I'm okay!
I said that's enough!
Let go of the knife!
How dare you knife a cop?
Chief! Stop it!
Stop, stop it!
Chief!
Will you stop it?
Stop! Stop!
- Blood...
- Chief!
I thought you were prickly,
but I didn't know you were mad...
Oh my gosh!
Seeing you with my eyes,
you really are Mad Dog...
I'm just grateful, that's all...
I'm so proud to have a man
like you as my superior...
- Stop the car.
- What?
Stop the car!
What? Right here?
Write this up to the major,
and request a warrant
for this jerk.
He must be in pain.
(Clinic)
(Woori Mart)
Kiddo!
Are your parents home?
I'm a police officer.
No adults here?
I'm Chief Hwang Joon-cheol
from Wanju Police.
Could I ask you something
about last year's case?
I got nothing to say
about that case.
Ma'am, wait a minute!
When did you fix this gate?
Right after the incident,
happy?
Hey, Mad Dog!
Even if you're passionate
about police work,
you really should avoid
getting knifed.
It's just a scratch.
Yeah?
I heard you're racking up arrests.
I'm Choi Woo-sung,
Jeonbuk Provincial Police.
I'm Hwang Joon-cheol,
my right hand is bloody.
I work with Section Chief Choi,
Jang Moon-do.
If you're ever in the area,
let's have a meal.
Sure.
Please get that treated.
- Shall we?
- Yup.
- Korean food again?
- Yes, sir.
His ba*ls are big enough
to match the super.
Why didn't you go to the ER?
Jung-gyu,
bring me everything
on the Woori case.
What for?
All right.
It's quite...
nice to hear my first name
from your mouth.
It's like we're family.
Can I call you 'bro' from now on?
I guess not?
That's our chief!
- You're home, dad.
- Yeah.
You're right on time for the show.
What happened to your hand?
- I fell.
- Looks like it.
Chief, what's this case?
Robbery-homicide.
This one could be a good read.
Say what?
Oh my.
(Crime Scene Recreation Video)
(How did you get into the mart)
The gate was closed,
so we jumped it starting with me.
Ma'am, wait a minute!
When did you fix this gate?
Right after the incident,
happy?
I used a screwdriver from home
to open the door.
We didn't intend to k*ll her...
We were afraid that
granny would scream, so...
We split the money three-way,
and threw away the jewelry
in the Samnye Stream out of fear.
Byung-won fooled around
with this all day here.
Even on that night?
He gets fixated on machines,
and would take it apart,
and put it back together,
he'd do that for hours on end.
All three of them never
graduated elementary school.
Is this screwdriver Byung-won's?
When the TV broke,
he used that to change channels.
Cops came by and
took that with them.
So, Choi was searching
the list of suspects,
and landed on Seo Byung-won.
He knew how to lock pick too.
Man, Choi was on the right foot
from the beginning!
You didn't even wash up?
I'll go to the sauna.
Straight!
Anyone home?
We're from Wanju Police!
Who?
Wanju Police!
Who? Who are you?
We're cops! Cops!
Young-cheol?
Cops!
Young-cheol moved away!
(Commendation - Kwon Chang-h*)
He moved!
Then, Chang-h*,
where's your grandson?!
What? You're Young-cheol?
Let me see you.
You're Young-cheol?
Is that you?
What is it?
I don't know!
If major asks,
say we're doing legwork on a case.
We're heading back in!
You go ahead!
Anyone home?
Jeez...
Shhh, be quiet.
He'll go crazy if you wake him up.
So, your brother was sleeping
in the next room that morning?
He really can't wake up
until someone wakes him up.
I told cops that many times.
All right.
I have another question for you.
Your mom passed away
7 years ago, right?
Yes.
Then why did Seung-woo confess
he stole the jewelry for her?
He was like that at times.
He'd flip out
if someone mention that
she's dead,
it's because of
his guilty conscience.
Guilty conscience?
What happened was,
she was run over by the tractor,
and couldn't walk properly.
We had to run errands
all the time for her,
and that idiot really loved that.
One day,
she asked him to
buy her pesticide from the town,
and she drank it and died.
Right in front of him.
How'd he have known
she would do that?
He even mixed Sprite
with pesticide for her.
That idiot couldn't read
'pesticide' on the bottle,
and he held her for a long time
as she died painfully.
What did you say?
He couldn't read
the word 'pesticide'?
He's thick as a rock.
He can't even write
his own name.
He always asked Chang-h*
to write it for him.
Give me a hand with this!
g*dd*mn...
What is this even for?
Look at your hand...
A... a... are you cops?
We are.
Sit!
We won't eat you alive.
Seung-woo, I'm Hwang Joon-cheol
from Wanju Police Investigation.
I just have a few questions,
could you answer me honestly?
Kwon Chang-h*.
You said you tossed the jewelry,
where did you toss them?
Uh, Samnye stream.
Whereabouts on the stream?
I don't remember.
Of course you don't remember,
because you didn't toss them.
No,
I tossed them
near Woosuk University.
Martial arts?
Byung-won, come here.
Get over here!
Stand here, take this screwdriver.
Go on.
Try opening his door.
Use this screwdriver to open it.
If you do, I'll give you $100
to spend in here.
This, uh, doesn't work...
You're good at that!
Sit, go sit down.
Seung-woo,
here.
Write your name and address.
If you do, I'll give you $100 too.
Go on, write it, it's for $100.
All right, then.
(Hwang Joon-cheol)
Read this,
I'll give you
$100 right here if you do.
Give me that.
Remember this?
It's the confession you wrote
when you were first arrested.
What? But how is this possible...
Did you really k*ll
the Woori granny?
Can't you be honest with me?
I really want to help you!
You were beaten, weren't you,
by cops?
Get the hell up!
Where are you looking at?
Eyes down here!
Hands up!
Dammit, you can't even draw this?
Jewelry in "I stole the jewelry,"
spells J-E-W-E-L-R-Y.
Write it again.
You spelled it wrong!
Are you laughing?
You k*lled someone
and laugh about it?
Did you just laugh?
Prick, write it again,
hold the pencil!
J-E-W-E-L-R-Y.
- Jewelry...
- That's right, jerk.
This idiot is a lazy prick.
- Salute!
- Salute!
So...
Seung-woo, you're the one
who k*lled the granny?
Yes, that's the narrative.
Look at me.
Why did you put tape
over granny's mouth?
To k*ll her?
I... I'm... not sure...
But when... do we eat?
We haven't eaten anything
in two days...
Oh dear, what to do...
A granny is viciously m*rder*d,
but the k*ller
only cares about food.
Do it right.
Yes, sir.
- Salute!
- Salute!
You jerk!
Jackass!
Eat crap, prick.
Eat! Eat!
I'll get you out of here!
You'll get us out?
If you testify to the prosecutors
exactly as you have,
you will be released.
No, I won't go...
I'll never go there...
Hold on!
This punk made it all up!
That's right, everything's a lie!
Are you kidding me?
We got nothing else to say,
can we leave?
Come on, let's go!
Guard! Guard! Open this door!
(July, 2016)
(Haneul Taekwondo)
Off you go.
Did you do it or not?
Get over here,
I'm sure he stole it!
You punk!
You're the only one
who would steal!
I told you he was the thief!
Wait, wait!
Coach, what's going on?
I really didn't steal anything.
I made a big mistake
of trusting Mrs. Yoon.
I shouldn't have gotten
mixed up with you punks.
Let's go to the police station!
- Let's go!
- Hold on, sir.
Seung-woo,
you really didn't touch it?
- Yeah.
- Looks like you...
two are accomplices.
- Did you order him?
- You two are on this together?
Let's go to the police!
What's going on?
The white shirt drives
for a taekwondo class,
and those boys are
accused of stealing.
But turns out, the victim lied
about the whole thing.
So what's the problem then?
They got into a fist fight,
but the two got robbery priors.
So the parents want to
press charges
for attempted m*rder.
- Chang-h*! Seung-woo!
- Mi-sook!
I'm their guardian.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt at all?
Hey, I'm the one who got hit,
why'd he be hurt?
- That's enough...
- Easy there.
- What did you say?
- Settle down!
Look at his eyes,
he really is a k*ller.
Did you call him a k*ller?
Don't run your mouth!
He's a k*ller,
what else should I call him?
Take it easy!
Get their statement
and send it to the HQ.
Hold on a minute!
I'm their lawyer,
you'll need to go through me.
Are you going to see the super?
He told me to come see him
before I check out.
I've taken down their statement,
could you pass it onto
the Criminal Affairs?
We all have to report to
the rally.
Will you do me this favor?
Come on out, everyone out!
- These guys are ex-convicts!
- Speak properly!
Wait here until we're done.
This is nuts!
Our fates are messing with us.
Indeed.
Please take care of it,
I have to go
see the superintendent.
Oh, dude.
Choi is with the superintendent.
I think he called you
down here to see you.
Don't say stupid crap
and just hold it in, got it?
Lady, you saw it,
they swung at me!
Be glad we don't take it
all the way with those K*llers!
- What? I've had it!
- You jerk!
You can't do this at the station.
What are you doing?
I'm the victim here.
Let go of me, it hurts.
Is the police siding
with the K*llers?
The one you're accusing them
of k*lling is my mom!
Did you see them k*ll my mom?
Ma'am, stay put.
- You're an insane wench!
- Insane wench?
- You insane jerk!
- Mister!
What's going on here?
Lt. Hwang, what are you
doing here?
I was about to head up.
It's been a while,
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol.
Do you like your new posting?
I came to hear from you in person.
Yes, it's quite agreeable.
If that's why you called,
I'll be off then.
Hwang, stop!
Hey, Capt. Park.
What case is this?
It's nothing at all,
just a simple as*ault case...
This is nothing?
They're convicted K*llers...
Deputy commissioner,
it's a coincidence!
They got into an argument
in Hwang's district...
One sided or mutual fight?
Mutual, sir.
Release them on warning.
What? What do you mean?
We haven't even
talked about settlement!
You'd have to settle for
similar amount if we countersue.
Who are you?
I'm their lawyer.
You fought too,
no serious injuries
and they got a lawyer,
consider yourself lucky that
you aren't countersued.
Go on, release them.
You didn't need to get involved.
Lieutenant, let's get lunch.
Wait a minute! How is this fair?!
Countersue? I better get
myself a lawyer too!
- Say something!
- Where are you going?
Chang-h*,
that's them, right?
Chief!
I heard you were assigned
to an island post.
What happened to you
and the boys are my fault.
No need to apologize,
it's all in the past.
Is that why you wanted to see me?
I'm a little busy,
I'll be off then.
Chief, it's not that...
I'm Attorney Shin Eun-hee.
I came to ask for your help.
We are preparing
a retrial with the boys.
I know it's not easy
to get involved willingly.
But may we at least get the files
that you worked on?
Since it happened so long ago,
we can't even get basic records.
You leave the shop often lately.
I've been busy.
One moment.
Yes, uncle.
You found it?
Please come to the lawyer's office
tomorrow afternoon.
Yes, thank you.
Going after those robbers again?
Let it go,
the living must go on living.
Seung-ah, off you go.
I just came to give you this.
My shift is almost over.
One sec.
Get changed and wait the table.
- Bill, please!
- Sure thing!
Would you like a receipt?
(Samnye Woori Mart)
(Investigation File 2)
It's quite useful now that
it's digitized.
Everything's all messed up.
My dead sister had the foresight
to ask me to sh**t this.
Get up there!
- Raise it up!
- Seung-woo, be on the lookout!
Raise it higher!
Very good, Chang-h*.
And then?
Open this next!
Move faster, come on!
Don't you remember?
If we do a retrial,
don't we have to face
those cops again?
We'll see them in court anyway,
so let's not be afraid.
Yeah, we have to be firm
and be able to stare them down.
- Good afternoon.
- Hello.
Thanks.
Chief.
Are you on Choi's side?
I'm not on anyone's side.
This and that file should be
sufficient for
a retrial application.
Thank you, chief.
No need to thank me,
these are useless papers to me.
Mrs. Yoon's uncle shot this
during the crime scene recreation.
Would you like to see it?
- No, ma'am.
- Chief!
Please find the real K*llers.
The real K*llers' testimonies
will be decisive at the retrial.
You're asking an officer to run
ill*gal background checks?
I don't know about that,
or at least be our witness!
Witness?
Why are you doing this to me?
This is a closed case!
I thought it was all over too!
So the boys did
their time in jail,
and I thought I'd just
have to live with the guilt.
But that wasn't it!
They're still treated
as my mom's K*llers,
and I was living like a coward!
Please help us,
it's all my fault.
Chief, please help!
Chief!
Hey, did I ask for your help?
Go to sleep
if you don't feel like it.
I could always tell
if your heart's not in it.
This spot is so shiny.
(July, 2000)
I didn't think
I'd see you so quickly.
Yes,
I just have a few questions.
You've received a call
from Lee Su-il from Iksan, right?
A tip about the Woori case.
Yes, I talked to him.
Why did you ignore the tip
about the real K*llers?
What did you say?
Real K*llers"?
Lieutenant,
is this why
you wanted to see me?
Try this dish first...
Sir...
I called him.
This really brings me back
those old Wanju days,
when we worked the streets.
A probation officer's report
states
that one of the boys
received a mental
disability judgment.
When did you dig into this?
I didn't see you behind your desk,
so I thought you were
playing a bounty hunter.
This little thing
caught your eyes?
Do you know how many charges
they were exempted from?
A bunch of kids caught stealing
cucumbers and watermelons?
Those charges automatically
lead to robbery and homicide?
- What?
- Also...
you two took
these confessions, right?
Who's gonna believe that
a boy who can't write his name
wrote that?
Maybe that idiot was in
top form when he wrote this!
Don't you dare try to
mess up a closed case!
Hey, Hwang Joon-cheol.
This case wrapped up cleanly.
We got evidence on the get-go,
and the perps confessed!
Evidence?
Thanks for bringing that up.
How does an addict like Lee Su-il
know unpublished details?
Explain me about that.
Why are you asking us that?
He's messing around
to get reward money!
If you're so confident,
why hide
the crime scene recreation video?
Why the hell would I hide?
The tape got messed up
during a replay, so I tossed it.
You all deserve
disciplinary action.
Come on, we're all family here.
You guys should stop too.
Damn your g*dd*mn family,
hey, Park Jung-gyu.
Why are you sucking up
to a pissant superior?
- What the hell did you call me?
- I have had it with you!
Come outside, jerk!
I'll rip your g*dd*mn mouths!
Jang Moon-do, Kim Min-jae!
You disrespectful pricks!
These are my guests,
you hear me?
- Sit.
- Sir!
Sit.
All right, Lt. Hwang.
You got a useful imagination.
Investigations usually
start that way.
But your vivid imagination ignored
the testimony of the victim.
Woori Mart owner Yoon Mi-sook
accused the trio.
So?
I'll look the other way this time,
so stay in your line.
What the,
Choi has a local dialect...
Mrs. Yoon Mi-sook!
Mrs. Yoon, are you home?
- Mrs. Yoon!
- Who are you?
My apologies, I suddenly
had a question to ask you.
Sir, I really don't
remember anything!
Please just leave!
If you can't remember anything,
why did you peg
those kids as K*llers?
Because I saw them.
- Come closer.
- Closer!
Lift up your heads!
Where did you hide your jewelry?
His knuckles?
What about their faces?
- You didn't see them?
- Let's go inside.
Why did you leave your phone off?
Major was looking for you!
Chief, I got the photos developed.
Hwang Joon-cheol.
You punk...
What kind of idiot are you?
Why are you causing stink
by opening a closed case?
I only looked into a tip.
You son of a g*n.
What a load of crap.
Drop this crusade at once.
Can't even answer me?
Where you going?
I'm going to the washroom!
Jung-gyu, let's go!
Doing your business together?
Are you going to wipe him?
Flush his crap too?
I told you he's not here.
I haven't been able to
reach him for a few days!
You could come back later!
He's not here.
- Dammit!
- Hyun-su!
Get over here!
Cho Hyun-su, stop!
Cho Hyun-su, you jerk!
Dude!
Hyun-su!
Cho Hyun-su!
Get over here!
Hey! Hyun-su!
Don't do anything stupid,
get over here.
Hyun-su!
Just jump already!
Jump, okay?
Get down here!
That's it...
(Soyoung Clinic)
I have somewhere to be,
get treated here
and head on home.
It's nothing at all.
Out.
Okay...
(Busan)
After granny died, I got scared.
We went straight to Busan
and sold the jewelry.
Jae-seok and Joo-hyuk stayed,
and I came back to Iksan.
Thank you for being honest.
So Ha Joo-hyuk got caught
sniffing glue
and is in jail,
and Jae-seok is living with
his juvie friend?
Yes.
Confirm that
Jae-seok's still there.
He's at Cheongsapo?
Jae-seok!
It's me, Hyun-su.
Open up, man!
Jae-seok!
Why the hell did you
wake me up for?
I told you not to come by!
What the hell?
I'm from Wanju Police.
Major kept asking
why I got injured,
so I told him I got into a fight
with Bongeun clan,
- good, eh?
- Not at all.
Tell him you got hurt
while catching
the real K*llers
of the Woori case.
Sit, sit here!
Lee Jae-seok, you're not
gonna say anything?
Yes?
All right, Lee Jae-seok,
it's your right to remain silent,
but it'll ultimately hurt you.
Cho Hyun-su,
on 4 a.m. July 2, 1999,
were you at Woori Mart,
which is located in Samnye,
with Lee Jae-seok
and Ha Joo-hyuk?
Yes.
Then can you tell me
how you got there?
Here, give this a go,
it's the good stuff.
Take it, punk!
That will mess you up.
It's okay, try it,
you'll love it.
Here, drink.
You pricks!
How can you sleep?
I'm so g*dd*mn high!
Dammit, I got no money
to even buy cigs.
Already? That's messed up.
- Hey, listen.
- What is it?
Should we rob a shop?
Shop?
Scared?
You're absolutely nuts.
- Let's try it!
- All right, punk.
We gotta at least have
some return gas money, no?
Nice.
Very nice!
- Good!
- Let's go!
Hey, hey!
Okay, okay, okay!
Let's do this.
Hey, it's open!
The crowbar used to open
the front door,
was this one found at
Lee Jae-seok's home today?
It is.
You see?
Then once inside the store?
Who are you?
Shut the hell up.
Tape, tape.
I'm sorry, ma'am,
just hang in there.
- Mom, mom?
- The kid woke up.
Mom!
Lady! Listen!
If she cries,
you're all dead, got that?
Tie her up, jerk!
Where did you hide your jewelry?
- Who are you?
- Holy crap!
Dammit!
Tie the granny up
and look around too.
Yeah, please hold still.
Found it!
Grab them!
Guys, guys, I got money!
Let's go!
Jae-seok, hey!
Something's wrong with her.
What is it?
Gramps, can you open your eyes?
Granny, can you wake up?
- Wake up!
- We're doomed.
That's enough,
let's get out of here!
Get out! Go!
Dammit, get the crowbar!
Lee Jae-seok.
Hyun-su admitted this much,
you still won't say anything?
He said you even performed
CPR to save the granny!
You sons of g*ns,
is there a fire in here?
There's a new development
of the Woori case...
You jerk.
Superintendent's office, now.
Are you out of your mind?
I'm the idiot for taking in
a cop called Mad Dog.
You two!
Shake hands and drop this!
What is this bullcrap?
Bullcrap"? Look at this prick!
How dare you, you nobody!
Stop, stop, stop!
- Go outside.
- Yes, sir.
My apologies, sir.
Christ...
Sit down!
If you don't want to drag
this agency through the mud,
please stop this.
How am I dragging us
through the mud?
It's the only way
to save the agency.
Will you go to w*r against
all cops involved
in this case?
Are you up for it?
This is all about
a small mistake on your part.
Let's say we caught them together,
and free the innocent boys
locked up behind bars!
What mistake?
I believe that my men
conducted a fair investigation.
You call this fair investigation?
This is all bullcrap!
What the hell are you doing?!
For the sake of everyone involved,
I can say we caught them together!
I confirmed
that you beat those kids
into confession, jerk!
If we're only talking about
beating people,
you're far more experienced.
I never beat an innocent person!
I only beat the guilty,
you're rotten to the core!
I've had it with you!
- Superintendent!
- What?
As I told you,
we caught the Busan trio
by reinvestigating the case!
So, send this case
up to the prosecution!
You son of a g*n!
Stop right there!
Send it up right away, if not...
I'll bring in the media
on a field trip!
That prick!
Is Prosecutor Oh back
from the field?
Have you told him that
Lt. Hwang would like to chat?
I see.
The message was passed on.
This jerk's fooling around...
- Yes, hello?
- This is Prosecutor Oh.
Sir, does it make sense that
you're in charge of this again,
after investigating
the original case?
I think you misunderstood
something about me.
It's not a misunderstanding, I...
I completely understand that
you may be concerned.
So, I've requested
a cross-examination
with Busan and Samnye trios
next Thursday at 1 p.m.
Would it satisfy you
if you observe it yourself?
I will observe,
make sure you do this fairly.
Are you home?
Geumbok, stop it!
Are you hurt?
My daughter has trouble sleeping
since the incident.
Please stop harassing us.
The real k*ller named Lee Jae-seok
confessed a few days ago.
His knuckles also have callus
for taking up boxing.
Please just take a look!
- Please leave.
- Miss!
Please stop it already.
You know what?
While my mom died,
I held onto my daughter
and couldn't do anything.
I just watched her die
and held onto my child!
That's who I am!
My uncle brought us
that dog outside.
Please stop harassing me,
leave me alone!
Hold on, one last thing,
this is a recording of a suspect
named Cho Hyun-su...
Lives of 3 young men
are on the line here!
For the sake of your mother,
I'm begging you.
(Recording of Cho Hyun-su)
(2000.07.16)
He said to come by 1 p.m.
on the phone.
Anyway, the prosecutor started
interrogation this morning.
- May I leave now?
- Yes.
Mr. Lee Su-il.
You are currently serving time for
ill*gal substance abuse, right?
Yes.
Is the one who reported you
in this room?
Point to him.
Have you met a Wanju detective
3 months ago?
Yes.
What was the reason
for the meeting?
To tell him that Cho Hyun-su is
the real k*ller of the Woori case.
Is your tip true?
Speak up, so I can hear you.
No, I lied about it!
Why did you lie?
I was taking revenge on him
for reporting me
to the police for sniffing glue.
- Lee Su-il!
- Who are you?
You're exploiting these kids
to mess with the case?
Let go!
Boys!
Look at my eyes,
July 2nd last year at 4 a.m.!
Were you at
the Samnye shop or not?
Talk!
So when we...
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol.
I asked you here today
to show you how wrong you were,
and how wrong you are,
so that you could see it
with your own eyes from there.
So, stop being rude
and watch closely over there.
Come out!
Cho Hyun-su, tell the truth.
Lee Jae-seok, Ha Joo-hyuk.
You two were
on deep sea fishing boat
from April 10
to August 10 last year?
This is a boarding record.
Check the next page,
are those your signatures?
- Yes.
- Yes.
But you confessed that you robbed
Woori Mart on July 2nd?
It wasn't me, Hyun-su said that.
Cho Hyun-su.
They were on a fishing boat,
but you robbed the shop with them?
You were high
on glue and Dex, right?
Yes.
Think carefully.
Were you confused about them
because you were high?
Look at it like this, Hyun-su.
The thing about memory is,
if you're confused,
you could say so.
But it's a major crime
to mistake it for memory.
Yes...
I don't remember...
You boys are not confused, right?
You did this, yes?
Look at it carefully!
Why aren't you answering?
Should we start the investigation
all over again with those cops?
Did Det. Jang leave?
No, no...
We did it, we did everything!
I did it...
I ordered these guys
to do everything...
He's crying.
Why are you crying?
Be quiet.
Let him, if he feels wronged,
he could cry.
You may cry.
Okay, what happened after
you taped the woman's mouth?
Jae-seok went to granny's room,
but she woke up,
so I tied her up.
We were about to leave
with the jewelry,
but she felt weird.
It looked like
she wasn't breathing.
Eun-ah, hold on!
After the granny died,
I got scared.
We went straight to Busan
and sold the jewelry.
With respect and courtesy,
this is Wanju Police CID.
Lt. Hwang please.
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol?
He transferred out of the city,
may I help you?
Christ...
Looks like someone is
running after us.
Lt. Hwang!
Lt. Hwang! Sir!
Lt. Hwang! Please!
- Let's just go.
- Lt. Hwang!
Lt. Hwang!
Lt. Hwang! Wait!
Are you Chang-h*?
Yes, I'm Kwon Chang-h*.
Any one of you from
Gyeongsang province?
What?
No, we're all from Samnye.
I'm sorry...
I'm so sorry...
What am I going to do?
(August, 2016)
This is the address
to the comic shop,
let's go inside.
- Excuse me...
- May I take your order?
Do you know a man named
Cho Hyun-su?
What about him?
I'm an attorney,
we have some questions for him.
He's dead.
What's going on?
What?
After he was released
from the police station,
he drank like a fish every day.
He said he was too scared
to live sober.
I was so fed up with him
and told him to go k*ll himself,
and that jerk
really k*lled himself.
He overdosed.
Honey, honey!
Were you waiting for me?
Lieutenant.
Would you be able to find out
Lee Jae-seok's whereabouts?
Turns out,
Ha has an outbound record
on a deep sea fishing boat,
and Lee's current whereabouts
are unknown at the moment.
Please drop this.
Why are you hurting others
by drudging up the past?
Cho is dead and
Ha left the country.
If you can't find Lee,
this is a dead end.
We're out of options,
let's postpone the retrial.
No, we can't give up
on the boys!
It's not about giving up.
It's about delaying
the application.
At least until we find Lee and Ha.
It took the boys
a lot of courage to do this.
You'll never win it,
they'll only get hurt.
Same for you as well.
Keep it.
Give me the boys' numbers.
I'll try to convince them.
Seung-woo!
- Chang-h*!
- Yeah?
I'm sorry,
this is the only place
that'll give us work.
We have to come work
when they call us.
No need to be sorry.
I heard you're saving up
for Mrs. Yoon.
Yes, she's like our mother.
And they said we need
money for the retrial.
Hey!
Why are you grinning?
You scaredy-cat boys
are all grown up now.
What's the use?
We've never had a girl.
Not that punk,
he's got a girlfriend!
What are you saying?
I don't have a girlfriend.
You like Seung-ah,
and she likes you too.
Then you two are dating, no?
Is that true?
Chang-h*, so you slept
with my sister?
- You're all used up?
- I didn't do anything!
Why would she like
a guy like me?
I'm a convicted k*ller.
Yeah? Then show me!
Show me your texts with her!
What are you doing?
You always grin like a fool
whenever you get texts.
Hey.
They call me "human trash",
how could I ever date her?
Then ask her out on a date
after we win the trial.
Yeah,
we found the video
for crime scene recreation too.
Yeah!
If we win the trial,
and you get married,
you'll be so happy!
All right, let's win the trial
and get married too.
What?
You're going to get married too?
Get over here!
Stop, stop! No! Stop it!
Chief!
What brings you here
on your off day?
Go back to work.
- Did he say he was coming?
- No.
Sign here
and don't worry about it.
(Lee Jae-seok)
Hello, is this
Mr. Lee Jae-seok's residence?
That's right, who is this?
Hello? Hello?
(Attorney Shin)
Ma'am, it's Hwang Joon-cheol.
Lt. Hwang, have you
met the boys?
- Apply for the retrial.
- Okay.
Pardon?
I may not come in today,
- so keep that in mind.
- You have a guest.
Going somewhere far?
You're retiring next year, right?
Yes.
30 years on duty,
and no promotion in 15,
I've been neglecting you
as your commanding officer.
It'd look good to retire
with a rank of inspector, no?
I'll guarantee you that,
and give you a post you want...
I thought
you left everything behind,
but your Mad Dog nature
is itching to bark.
I've been ashamed of myself
for the past 16 years,
for not being able
to help those poor boys.
I've decided not to live
in shame for myself and them.
So?
You want to go to w*r
against the world at your age?
With a moronic woman
and Ret*rded kids?
What can I do?
The Mad Dog has found his prey.
Take care of your own family!
Worry about your daughter
at Yeongdeungpo station.
What? What did he just say?
What did he mean?
- Is this #1103?
- Yes, it is.
I have a delivery for you,
I should be there in 10.
I just left home.
- You left home?
- Yes.
Then I'll leave it
with the security.
Okay, thank you.
Oh my, I forgot the washer fluid.
- I'll be right back.
- All right.
Daddy will be right back.
Yongari?
- Do you want it?
- Okay.
Washer fluid...
Here it is.
You're alive and well,
posing as a human.
Who are you?
Don't remember?
Wanju Police CID.
- What?
- Lee Jae-seok.
Remember the Samnye trio
who got locked up because of you?
I think you have the wrong guy.
They're about to
have their retrial.
It drives me mad
you won't get charged
due to statute of limitations,
but to win the retrial,
we need your testimony,
you must testify no matter what,
you got that?
Sweetie?
Jae-seok, so good to meet you!
Your wife?
Good afternoon.
We're from the same hometown.
I see...
Little miss, you're so pretty!
What's your name?
Eun-sol, Lee Eun-sol.
Eun-sol,
always listen to your parents.
- Okay.
- Very good.
So, when and where
should we meet tomorrow?
Well...
Then call me.
- I'll see you again.
- Yes.
- Eun-sol, bye.
- Good bye.
(It's Jae-seok, I'm really sorry,)
(is there another way
to help them)
(without testifying?)
(Retrial After 17 Years)
- Hello?
- Have you seen the article?
Yes.
Great work.
Have you met Lee Jae-seok?
I did,
but I'll fill you in
when I see you.
- What are you doing?
- Sorry, I forgot.
It was beeping for a while,
how could you forget?
What's with you since yesterday?
- Excuse me?
- Go take the order.
I won't leave without your word.
- I'll be right back!
- Oh no...
So you won't attend the retrial?
I know better than anyone
that I was the scum of this earth.
But aside from my name,
I'm a completely different man.
I've started a new life!
A new life?
What about 3 guys' youth
you demolished?
Just say "I'm the one behind
the Woori case," in court!
It's not like you'll go to jail!
My family doesn't know
anything about my past.
Then out of nowhere,
you want me to reveal
that I was a drug addict,
robber and m*rder*r?
I can't do that.
Even if I get stabbed,
I just can't do it.
Wait, where are you going?
If you can't say it,
I'll do it for you, prick!
Please stop it!
How could you do that
to a pregnant woman!
Sir.
Joo-hyuk or Hyun-su,
can't you go see Hyun-su?
You'll sell out your friends
till the end?
Joo-hyuk is out of the country
on a fishing boat and Hyun-su...
Cho Hyun-su died
2 years ago.
What?
He k*lled himself because
he couldn't go on with his guilt.
Hyun-su is dead?
Stupid idiot,
how could he k*ll himself...
She's the daughter
of the granny you k*lled.
You may still be alive
because you're not an idiot,
but do you know how hard
it was for me and them?
How will you pay us back?
It's all good
if you live so well?
I'll k*ll that prick!
What are you doing?
Do you want to go back
to jail after k*lling him?
Should we just give up
on the trial?
I feel so wronged!
That's all!
I know, I know, I really do.
I'll testify.
But sir...
I'm begging you.
Please don't let
my family find out.
Good, you're doing
the right thing.
Even if the news goes out,
you'll be anonymous,
don't worry.
When we get the court date,
I'll contact you.
Go on inside.
Let's go.
Please make sure
Lee's identity
is not leaked, Ms. Shin.
What's this?
The police and city hall
came by earlier.
(Notice of Closure
- Health Violations)
We got reported
for food poisoning.
Why didn't you call me?
What good would that do?
Yes?
What?
I'll be right there.
You stupid...
(Police)
What's going on?
Are you Chief Hwang?
Internal Audit.
Come to the HQ tomorrow
to hear the details.
(Attendance Request)
What's going on at this hour?
Dad, is everything okay?
Everything okay with me?
Kiddo, is something up with you?
As a police officer,
something is always up.
It's not like you'll stop
what you're doing for me.
Take care, call me.
Lt. Hwang, I'm the daughter
of the Wanju Mad Dog.
I can take care of myself,
do what you think is right.
Got it? I have to go.
I'm sorry.
Gosh, I should've recorded that.
What are you sorry about?
This restaurant was tough to open.
That's what you're sorry about?
You old fool.
Why can't you be honest?
Why do I have to hear about
what my own husband is doing
from someone else?
Why do you make me
into a feeble woman?
Thanks for the meal.
Jesus Christ...
All right,
I'm a little late asking you,
what would you like me to do?
Do it! Do it right!
You're already doing it,
it's all over the TV!
I'm the last one to know...
Mr. Hwang, you'll never understand
women till you drop dead.
Go on, get out of here!
Do your best today.
You're dead if you ruin it.
I'm off!
Don't inconvenience others,
and let's agree on a compromise.
This way.
Where are you going?
Do whatever the heck you want!
- Let go!
- Jung-gyu.
Hey, dude!
Don't even think about
succumbing to these bozos!
Today's my day to shine!
Good luck!
I'm leaving, you pigs!
Where are you going?
- I understand, sir.
- You can't go in there!
Look at this son of a g*n!
Where do you think you are?
You g*dd*mn pest...
Stop, go outside.
Take this
and stop harassing
innocent people.
Resignation letter, really?
You're fired without pension.
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol,
you're now a traitor
and the enemy of the agency.
Can a man who betrayed
120,000 police officers
live a normal life in Korea?
Do mad dogs make rational calls
before biting his prey?
Stop posing like a big wig,
I could puke!
You're not a cop,
you're just a thug.
He really went mad...
All rise please.
You may sit.
We'll now begin the retrial 2016-2
of a robbery-homicide case.
Defendants, is your witness
Lee Jae-seok present?
Due to an unforeseen circumstance,
he is unable to attend
the hearing today.
We'd like to ask
Deputy Commissioner
Choi Woo-sung to the stand first.
Please watch the video.
This video shows the investigation
17 years ago against my clients.
The evidence list shows
"Crime Scene Recreation,"
but as you can see,
it's been crossed out.
Witness,
it indicates the video
is unaccounted for,
is it lost or concealed?
It happened 17 years ago.
I do not remember.
Let's continue to watch.
This video of
crime scene recreation
was shot by a defendant's relative
and has recently been restored.
As you can see, an officer is
recording the entire event.
But you destroyed it,
fearing that
your ill*gal interrogation
with forced confession
would be discovered.
Your Honor, speculative argument.
No, it's a conjecture.
Please work your way to the truth
with concrete evidence.
Certainly, I'll now show you
that evidence.
Raise it higher!
As you can see in the video,
the young defendants aren't sure
what they're supposed to do,
and are only following directions
of the investigators
like puppets.
Please watch this carefully.
You idiot, not like that,
do it the way you did it before.
Didn't you have them
practice this?
Witness,
what did you mean by that?
I said, "Didn't you have them
practice this?"
That's right.
Doesn't this mean
they did not know
the process and
needed to practice?
As you know,
criminals have a psychological
defensive mechanism
that erases their crimes
from their memory.
We use this investigation method
in order to smash through
that defensive mechanism
and to restore their memory.
We'll now hear
the voice of Cho Hyun-su,
who confessed to the crime.
After granny died, I got scared.
We went straight to Busan
and sold the jewelry.
Is this the voice?
Yes.
No more questions.
Is there anyone in this courtroom,
who can verify that
the voice in the recording
is his own?
Cho Hyun-su died a few years ago.
Please answer with yes or no.
Is he in this courtroom or not?
Your Honor,
the prosecution
is putting aggre...
Wait a minute.
I do not want to
answer with yes or no.
His terrifying voice
is ingrained in my head.
That voice belonged to
Cho Hyun-su.
Do you remember seeing
these knuckle callus
on one of the perps' hand?
Yes.
Mr. Kwon Chang-h*,
could you show us your knuckles?
Mr. Kwon Chang-h*!
Could you show us your hand?
Next court date is
September 6, 9:30 a.m.
Who is it?
Good evening,
I came to meet Jae-seok.
Do you remember me?
I saw you at the market.
One moment.
Sorry for dropping by
so late at night.
He hasn't come home
in a few days.
Did something happen to him?
I'm not sure,
he told me
not to call him for a few days.
Something must be up.
Could you please let him know
that I came by if he calls?
Sure...
The door is closing.
Sir?
Yes?
Are you a cop?
Yes.
Could you tell me honestly?
Did he do something bad?
Why'd he do something bad?
I must have confused you
with this late night visit.
Thank you for the drink.
Is daddy back?
Oh dear.
Eun-sol, you woke up?
Hi, Eun-sol.
Have you been well?
I should've watched over
Lee more closely.
I am truly sorry, boys.
Chief.
We talked about it
before coming here.
If we can say
what we want to say
in the courtroom tomorrow to
powerful men who did this to us,
we can live with that.
"We're not K*llers!"
Being able to shout that
would be amazing.
All right, here, here.
You guys are our last guests,
so I'm bringing out the big g*ns!
Don't mind the time,
eat slowly, and eat plenty!
You can't leave
until they're empty!
Okay.
Ms. Shin, instead of Choi,
put Prosecutor Oh Jae-hyung
on the witness stand
at the hearing tomorrow.
Why?
He'll be there
as the prosecution's witness.
Thank you for agreeing to testify
on your busy day.
I wanted to wrap this case up
for good this time.
I have to leave soon
for an important meeting,
may I question
the defendants directly?
Yes, you may.
Thank you, Your Honor.
Defendants, do you remember me?
During prosecution investigation
back in 1999,
have I assaulted you
or treated you maliciously,
or ordered my investigators
to carry out these acts?
You did not beat us,
but you threatened us that
lying could get us k*lled.
He's right!
Perhaps I was answering a question
about punishment for homicide.
Mr. Kwon Chang-h*,
when you were arrested in 1999,
you admitted everything
on the first day of investigation,
did you not?
It was obvious we'd get
beaten if I didn't.
You just said the prosecution
did not maltreated you.
Did you or did you not
confess to the crime?
I did.
A few months into your sentence,
you once again denied your crime,
when Cho was arrested
by Lt. Hwang.
But that's...
But when you were confronted
with Cho and others,
you once again admitted
to your crimes, right?
16 years have passed.
But they are once again
denying any wrongdoings.
Even though they're
claiming their innocence today,
they could once again
admit to their crimes tomorrow.
Do we still look like kids
who'd fall for your schemes?
No, of course not.
You look like vicious K*llers.
What's even scarier is that,
instead of protecting
these social misfits,
people like Hwang Joon-cheol
are insulting the justice system
and exploiting the defendants
by creating social unrest.
- In addition!
- Excuse me!
These guys aren't social misfits!
- Sit down.
- They're citizens of Korea
who contribute to our society!
Take your words back!
Please sit down.
If you cause another disturbance,
you'll be thrown out.
Sit down.
I'll continue.
There is a clear piece of evidence
that Lee Jae-seok and Ha Joo-hyuk,
supposed real K*llers
of this case,
were fishing during
and after the incident.
Your Honor, this is a fabrication.
Do you have any evidence
to back up your statement?
How could they have anything?
This case is an endless
parade of perjury.
We do.
We'd like to ask
Lt. Hwang Joon-cheol to testify.
Only 5 days after
the Woori Mart incident,
defendants were arrested
and only a week after that,
the crime scene recreation
took place.
As you can see from the video,
Lee Jae-seok and Cho Hyun-su were
in the crowd
during the recreation.
They returned to the crime scene
due to guilt and anxiety,
and they left their trace
right there on the video.
Your Honor.
The document indicating
that they were
fishing for 4 months
was a fabrication.
Silence in the court!
Silence!
Witness,
how can you prove that
these two are indeed Lee and Cho?
These two individuals were
interrogated by not only Choi,
but Prosecutor
Oh Jae-hyung as well.
You should ask them.
We'd like to request
Prosecutor Oh...
I'll testify!
Deputy Commissioner
Choi Woo-sung to the stand.
Hwang Joon-cheol.
Are you mocking the police agency?
Your Honor!
Give us 2 days
for our forensic scientists
to analyze this!
We'll prove that those men,
let go of me!
We'll prove that the one shown
in the video isn't Lee Jae-seok.
It is Lee Jae-seok!
I am the real perpetrator,
Lee Jae-seok.
With my friend Hyun-su,
I was there.
Your Honor,
we'd like to request
Lee Jae-seok as our next witness.
Mr. Lee Jae-seok,
please take the witness stand.
I solemnly affirm
that the evidence I shall give
shall be the truth,
the whole truth and
nothing but the truth.
You went into hiding
after promising to testify here,
and even cut communication
with your family.
Why did you decide to
take the witness stand?
I originally planned to
hide until the end of the trial.
But my wife left a message
late last night.
Yeon-hee!
Where is she hurt?
Why didn't you take her
to the hospital?
Eun-sol's fine.
I left that message
to see your face.
How could you mess around
with our child?
I told you to stay
with your mother,
why are you here?
Honey, what's wrong?
Did something happen?
Honey... did you...
k*ll someone?
What do you mean?
Who said such a thing?
Tell me honestly,
did you k*ll or not?
Did Hwang Joon-cheol
contact you?
He came by, so I asked him
some questions.
Everything he said is a lie!
He's trying to frame me!
No, not at all!
He's a good man!
He was actually worried
for me and the baby.
He swore he was
your old friend from back home.
Then how did you know?
There's no other way.
Now that I know,
I just don't have the conviction
to hide to our children
who you really were.
I can't live with you.
Let's get a divorce.
The person I love the most
made me finally realize...
my biggest crime was
living a care-free life
for the past 17 years.
Lt. Hwang.
Thank you so much.
Thank you treating me
like a human being till the end.
Mrs. Yoon Mi-sook.
I've committed a grave sin.
And the three of you,
had I not lied
during interrogation,
this would have been over...
I am truly sorry.
I'll live the rest of my life
with remorse.
If Lt. Hwang didn't disclose
anything to your wife,
then how did she
find out about your past?
Well...
A great man named Choi Woo-sung
called her and threatened her.
To make sure I never
attend this trial.
The witness is making
an unverifiable claim!
Mr. Choi threatened her
to keep your mouth shut?
I simply made a call to tell her
not to get involved in this farce.
Is it a crime to worry about him?
Silence.
You said if I don't stay in line,
I'd meet Prosecutor Oh,
and get locked up in jail!
Is Prosecutor Oh in attendance
in this courtroom?
Yes.
You punks!
How dare you present lies
as evidence?!
This punk right here,
he was an addict all his life
and lied about everything!
Bailiff, throw those two men out.
Yes, Your Honor!
Show me the evidence,
how did I threaten you?
- Please leave!
- Show me your evidence!
- Prove that I said...
- Silence in the courtroom!
Your Honor, everything's a lie!
I can prove it to you!
We are not K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
You made us into K*llers!
You made us into K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
You made us into K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
We are not K*llers!
Without any concrete proof of
crimes committed
by the defendants,
and under Criminal Law
Article 325,
we find them not guilty.
There they come.
You did good!
You did a great job!
Let me see you!
You're still a hottie!
Lieutenant! Salute!
I smell something,
I think it's steak this time.
- Should I make a reservation?
- No way!
- Come to my restaurant.
- Excuse me.
Everyone,
could we take a photo first?
Over here, come over here!
Let's take a photo,
you're the star.
Now that we won, confess to her.
What? Confess what?
- It's nothing.
- It's not nothing at all!
You wanted to date my sister!
Come closer, here we go!
One, two, three!
Once more!
Lee Jae-seok.
- Jae-seok!
- One, two!
Jae-seok!
