Suspicious Partner (2017) s01e02 Episode Script
Episode 2
1
To Prosecutor Noh Ji-uk.
In the last two months,
I have learned a lot from you.
I learned the living spirit of the law.
You gave me practical wisdom and courage
to fulfill that spirit.
Who am I trying to kid?
There's a limit to how far I can lie.
This is beyond the limit. I went too far.
NOH JI-UK
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
That's right. He is annoying.
He's incredibly annoying.
Singing a song of curse
is not how you take revenge on your ex.
Just ignore him.
Be cool and live a good life.
But he is cool.
Oh, my goodness. I must have gone insane.
I wrote that he's cool.
What is this? Why can't I remember
what happened next?
Why can't I remember?
Gosh, it's hot. It's hot in here.
I'm getting hot.
There is always a cause and effect
in every event.
It's a known truth to everyone,
but the problem is
I'm hot.
Gosh, this is refreshing.
The problem is,
sometimes we can't find the cause.
Something is definitely happening,
but we can't ever find out
the reason why it is happening.
Just like how I can't find it out now.
Is she sleeping already?
I knew it, Bong-hui.
You didn't change the passcode.
You may deny your feelings,
but you can't help but wait for me.
Beer.
Beer.
Gosh!
An effect happened upon me,
but I don't know the cause of it.
It's an unlucky, harsh,
and sudden accident.
-Let go of him!
-Be quiet!
-Let go!
-You are going to regret this.
All right. Ms. Eun Bong-hui,
let's go over this.
Even if it was really dark
because of the blackout,
you still went out to buy beer.
If you don't pull yourself together
now, you might get in trouble.
If there was an accident,
clean up afterwards.
The initial response is important.
Get a grip.
Hey.
I am a suspect, not a witness
right now, aren't I?
Well, let's investigate
without any presumptions.
I don't want to draw any lines now.
I understand, detectives.
Usually, the suspect is
someone close to the victim,
or the person who discovered the body.
Plus the place where it happened
and the condition I am in now.
I may look like a suspect.
You just admitted.
I said "may."
Please listen to me carefully.
If you pinpoint an innocent person
as the suspect,
the initial investigation
will be a total mess.
The real suspect is someone else
and you have to find that person,
but if you focus on an innocent person
like me,
what will happen to the real suspect?
The suspect will disappear. You will
lose the evidence and witnesses.
Let go. Move aside.
You have finally done it.
Who are you? Who
Are you the last person
who talked with Mr. Jang Hui-jun?
Why did you kill him?
Hey, I didn't.
All right. Hui-jun did dump you.
-Is that something to kill him for?
-It wasn't me.
You kept singing that you will kill him.
There are so many witnesses.
Should I call all our classmates?
I only said it. I didn't mean any of it.
Stop fooling yourself. Bring back Hui-jun.
Bring back Hui-jun, you bitch!
Don't do this.
-Let go of me.
-Let her go.
I'm going to kill her.
I'll kill her!
I I really didn't do it.
-Let go!
-It's really not me.
-I didn't do it. Please believe me.
-I'm going to kill you!
If
I can give a spoiler about my life
to myself in the past,
I'll tell her this.
"Bong-hui, be careful of men.
They will ruin your life."
What do I have to be careful of?
Women.
When a man meets the wrong woman
and vice versa,
his life can be doomed in one blow.
But from what I can see,
there's one person like that in your fate.
You'll get in huge trouble
if you cross paths with her.
That woman will completely destroy
your life.
Who's that woman?
You had your eyes closed
for exactly 17 minutes.
You're fighting a war against insomnia,
not against crimes.
If someone can help me get a sound sleep,
I'd be willing to give my body
and soul to that person.
I heard you can get insomnia
when your bed is too big.
You might sleep like a baby
when you meet a nice woman.
Don't even. I had a dream about a woman
I shouldn't cross paths with.
A woman you shouldn't cross paths with?
Yes.
When I was a kid, there was
a fake monk in my neighborhood.
He told me something ridiculous.
I had forgotten all about it,
but he showed up in my dream.
What did he say? There was
this woman I shouldn't meet
EUN BONG-HUI
-Bong-hui?
-Is Bong-hui that woman?
Did he predict it when you were a kid?
Why is she calling at this hour?
Hey.
Well Mr. Noh.
What is it? Make it quick.
Just get to the point.
I've been arrested without a warrant.
You've been arrested?
How much did you drink?
I didn't drink at all.
Yet you got arrested without a warrant?
What did you do? Assault?
-No.
-Theft?
-No way.
-Public indecency?
-Of course not.
-Then what on earth is it?
It's murder.
Goodness.
Mur
What should I do?
Isn't he District Attorney Jang Mu-yeong?
-Pardon?
-The district attorney of Seonho.
I heard they've arrested a suspect.
Hey, Bong-hui. You're really
What on earth were you thinking
Come here. Hey!
You're so dead. You little
I think
I got myself in trouble, but
You think? You think you did something?
Something must've gone wrong.
I know that much,
but I don't know what I did wrong.
I really have no idea.
Look up.
I don't want to, why?
Let me see your shameless face.
Look at me.
I never meant for this to happen,
but it did happen.
So let's say that much is my fault.
However, all I did was step out
to pick up beer because I was thirsty.
When I got back,
everything had already happened.
I have no idea
what would ever lead to this.
I can't believe it, and I'm terrified.
But you're the only person I can count on.
Why would you count on me? Don't.
I will.
I will count on you.
You're the only person I know
who knows the law and has power.
Hey, take those clothes off first.
Pardon me?
I'm saying you should wash up.
Those clothes should be submitted
as evidence.
Mr. Bang will bring you
a change of clothes.
Just wash that off yourself first.
That's when it finally hit me.
Hui-jun is dead.
Yes, I liked you a lot.
Even though you betrayed me,
dumped me, and hurt me,
I never actually wished you wrong.
Please
rest in peace.
I pray for you with all my heart.
Praying is one thing,
but why did you have to die at my place?
Out of all the places
in this whole wide world,
why did you have to die at my place?
Are you trying to mess up my life?
What have I done to you
to deserve this? You jerk.
I'm sorry I swore at you.
Why did you
You shouldn't have died.
Why did you die?
I really wish you didn't die
Next news. Everyone is shocked
by the murder of a trainee
from the Judicial Research
and Training Institute.
The fact that the victim
is the son of a district attorney
has caused a big stir.
The prime suspect, Ms. Eun,
who has been arrested
could not accept the fact
that the victim broke up with her.
She's been stalking and threatening him
on a daily basis. The victim
This is the prosecutors' office.
Pardon me?
The chief's office?
Ominous premonitions are usually right.
The fact that attorneys named him
as the worst prosecutor
means that suspects and their counsels
hate him.
In other words,
he's always in support of the victims.
Yes, that's right.
When it comes to criminal cases,
Mr. Noh is the best prosecutor.
He's the best at dragging out confessions,
and he has the highest conviction rate.
Please investigate fairly
and prove that justice is still alive.
This is the worst possible situation
I could imagine.
-There she is.
-She's coming out.
-She's getting off.
-Take photos.
-She's coming out.
-Take photos!
-She's out.
-Why did you kill him?
Was it planned or accidental?
Do you admit it?
You should at least say
whether you killed him or not!
Did you kill him because he dumped you?
Please move your hair out of your face.
-We can see her face now!
-Take off your mask!
Take it off!
Please say a few words!
-Did you kill him or not?
-Hey, take photos now!
I'm pretty sure I told you
not to show up before me as a suspect.
I
I'm a ruthless prosecutor.
Let's get started.
You're currently being investigated
for the murder of Jang Hui-jun.
You have the right to remain silent
to any question that might be
be used against you.
Get her to confess and charge her.
If you fail to charge her
and get the maximum penalty,
you'll be fired, and won't be able to work
even as an attorney.
Even if you get lucky, you'll end up
in some far away countryside.
Do you understand?
Do you admit that
all circumstances point to you
as the culprit?
This is the statement of the part-timer
at the convenience store.
He remembers a customer
coming into the store that night,
but he can't remember that person's face.
He doesn't remember you.
Excuse me.
I can't hear you well.
There was a black out that night.
The CCTV was also out of order.
That means nothing can prove
you were outside
in the middle of the night.
Can you still not hear me?
To be exact, I can't see you.
What?
They won't let me wear
contact lenses, and some ass
Some journalist broke my glasses
a while ago.
So I can't really see properly.
It's weird, but when I can't see,
I can't hear properly either.
Probably because
I can't see your facial expressions.
It makes it hard for me
to figure out how you're feeling
-or what you're thinking.
-So what?
You see, I can totally understand
your situation right now.
I also know that Jang Hui-jun
was the one who cheated on you.
I totally understand how devastated
you must have felt that night.
-So
-It's not going to work on me.
I've seen you interrogate people
many times.
You're trying to appease me
by sweet-talking to me.
Other than the police and paramedics
who were at the site,
we couldn't find anyone else's DNA
at the crime scene.
There were only yours and Jang Hui-jun's.
That was all.
Are you still going to deny it?
This won't work on me either.
Exactly. Darn it.
You're going to get charged anyway.
The motive is clear,
and you have no alibi.
He got killed at your house,
and there's no other suspect.
That's enough to charge you.
But I really didn't kill him.
-That doesn't even matter.
-Pardon?
Whether you're guilty or not,
you're going to get
the maximum sentence allowed by law.
That's the only way I can save my career.
You believe me, don't you?
I trust that you believe me.
I trust that you're on my side.
You're the only hope
I have right now.
But from what I can see, there's
one person like that in your fate.
You'll get in huge trouble
if you cross paths with her.
That woman will completely destroy
your life.
-I've become uncivilized.
-Sorry?
I said I've become uncivilized.
Because of you, I am about to believe
what that fake monk said.
Who's that woman?
You'll find out who she is
once you see her.
"So this must be her!"
He said I'll know when I see her.
Now I know I met her.
It's
It's you, Bong-hui.
I'm sure I've seen her somewhere.
I've seen her in real life.
She looks extremely intimidating.
Really?
Yes. She's really something.
I wonder if she hired an attorney.
The victim is the son
of District Attorney Jang.
Who would want to defend her?
He'd get on the bad side
of the prosecution.
She'll get a public defender.
She'll get the most incompetent lawyer
in this country.
What's wrong?
Ji-uk
Did something happen? What's up?
He's calling me.
MY JI-UK
So?
Ji-uk's calling me.
It's been ages since he called me.
Wait.
Hello? Hey, Ji-uk.
Yes.
Please do me a favor. Okay.
I can't believe you called Mr. Ji
when you hate him so much.
My gosh! Bugs!
It feels like
bugs are crawling all over my body.
Let's go.
Thank goodness, I didn't
throw these glasses away.
How did you find them?
It's not like they have legs.
I found them after a while.
I should've gotten you new glasses
that are pretty.
I'm only going to use them
for a while. It would've been a waste.
Of course. You'll get out of there soon.
Goodness.
By the way, these glasses
remind me of the past.
You studied so hard with those glasses on.
And you supported me
throughout the whole journey.
Don't you worry about me.
It's not even my first time.
Back when your dad
How's the food? Is it okay?
Giving massages is tiring, isn't it?
Nonsense. Everyone lives a tough life
like I do.
Relief patches don't cost that much.
Why do you split them like that?
I can use them on different spots
by splitting them like this.
By the way, how are your cellmates?
Are they nice?
Are there any bullies?
What are you talking about?
I'm the head of the cell.
-Really?
-Yes.
I'm the only one who got
charged with murder.
Everyone else got charged
with theft, embezzlement,
fraud, and gambling.
But I got charged with murder,
so they're all scared of me.
That's great.
Your time's up.
Why does time fly so fast?
Mom, you don't need to
come tomorrow. Okay?
Don't worry about me,
and keep your head up high.
You can do it, Bong-hui.
I can do it. I'll be off then.
You should go.
Bye, Mom.
Why isn't she here yet?
My goodness. My gosh.
Are you okay?
You hit me again.
I'm really sorry.
I'm really smart, so it's okay
if my brain cells die a little bit.
I see. Okay.
I got admitted as your attorney,
so the public defender appointment process
will be canceled.
I'm sorry.
How How did this happen?
Your glasses
I'm not saying they look funny.
But they do seem to neutralize
your intimidating face.
It's great. It's a great tactic.
-Thank you.
-I should thank you.
Why would you thank me?
Thanks to you, Ji-uk called me.
Sorry?
What kind of relationship
do you have with Ji-uk?
He was my mentor, and now
he's the prosecutor in charge of my case.
No, not that. Is there anything else
in your relationship?
Sir, don't you have any questions for me?
I do.
Did you kill Jang Hui-jun?
No.
Now I know everything I need to know.
The CCTV's broken.
This place is under reconstruction,
so there are a lot of empty houses.
There was a black out that night.
I'm sorry, but this looks like
a great place to commit murder.
I don't know about that.
But this place does seem suitable
for Bong-hui.
How's the weapon search going?
They scanned the whole place,
but nothing turned up yet.
What about the other jurisdictions?
I've called every police station
in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.
I asked them to report to us
if they find a weapon
13cm in length and 3.5cm in width.
-Okay, you did a good job.
-I did, right?
But why are you trying so hard?
I'm just open to possibilities.
Like Bong-hui said, someone else
could actually be the culprit.
By a slim chance, I mean.
It'd be great if that were true.
Was it around 12:30 a.m.?
I looked out the window
because I was feeling a bit hot.
I couldn't see anything
because I wasn't wearing my glasses.
I just felt the cool breeze,
and that was it.
If she witnessed something,
but doesn't know what she saw
That's why
the witness
This can't be.
Mr. Bang, you checked all the incidents
around this neighborhood
on that night, right?
Of course.
I looked into all the sex offenders
and ex-convicts around here.
But I couldn't find anything.
Can you check the residents' whereabouts
once more just in case?
Yes, sir.
Whoever the killer is,
he or she definitely entered the house
and stabbed the victim.
I think I might have seen her
from somewhere.
She has a typical face.
But this feels a bit uncomfortable.
Inspecting the house of someone we know
as a crime scene
It makes me feel like I'm prying on her.
NOH JI-UK
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
What is that?
It's nothing.
Why are we shaking hands? We can do this!
I CAN DO I
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
It looks like
BUT HE'S COOL
she actually wanted to kill you
more than Jang Hui-jun.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Please go on.
Okay.
The murder weapon has been found.
It was found in a place 7km far from here.
A passerby who was taking a walk
found it and reported.
What is this?
The length is 13cm and the width is 3.5cm.
The weapon fits the size
of the stab wound on Jang Hui-jun.
What?
It must look something like this.
That's
Why isn't she indicted yet?
A further investigation is necessary.
We currently have no direct evidence
like the murder weapon or witnesses.
And she hasn't admitted to it yet either.
The murder weapon
You might find it soon.
What needs to turn up always turns up.
As both of us know, what's important is
that Eun Bong-hui is the culprit.
Am I wrong?
This place was searched
multiple times, right?
We searched here so many times.
You have no idea how many times
we did it to find the murder weapon.
It wasn't found in all those times,
yet this ended up in my hand.
Plus, we might have found two.
Well, the other one
Gosh, I have no idea
what's happening right now.
Let's go to the Forensic Center.
CRIME LAB
IN THE SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I need to find out if the blood on these
are Jang Hui-jun's.
Please run an analysis as soon as possible
and keep it confidential.
-Confidential?
-Yes.
This was found on the scene, so
it doesn't have to be confidential.
But this one over here.
It was found elsewhere,
so it must be kept confidential.
Mr. Ji, what's your IQ?
143. It's quite high.
Right.
-Aren't you going to ask me?
-Sorry?
People usually reciprocate.
When someone says hello,
most people say it back.
Oh, right.
All right. My IQ is 143. What's yours?
It's 101.
I passed the bar exam
with that IQ. Isn't it impressive?
Also, I used to be an aspiring athlete.
How much effort do you think
I had to make to pass the bar exam?
I asked myself every single day.
Should I just quit everything
and earn money
so that I can help my family?
I mean, I wasn't even confident
that I'd pass it.
Studying was hard,
but watching my mom having
to support me was even harder.
That's how I came this far,
but all the time and effort
are about to go down the drain.
So please don't think
of defending me as a joke.
Or helping me out as a charity.
I don't want that mindset either.
My life depends on this,
and my family is also at stake.
Do we have to see each other?
Ji-uk?
How's Bong-hui? Have you met her?
I have.
Oh, and The reason I asked you
to be her attorney is
It was because her right
to consult with an attorney
wasn't respected. That was why.
I know. I bet no attorney
wanted to help her.
I'm only doing this for you, you know?
Do you have say that out loud?
I'll do my very best as her attorney.
I never told you not to.
I'm saying I'll beat you, Prosecutor Noh.
Bring it on.
You're not going to give in?
You want to convict her and lock her up?
What prosecutor prosecutes
just so he could lose?
I see.
I'm going if you're done talking.
Hey, wait. Ji-uk!
Hey, just a second. Hey!
Hey, you're not going to stay for coffee?
I guess you've forgotten.
I can't stand the sight of you
even for a second. You know that?
You still can't forgive me?
Darn it. That's right. It's too hard.
Then I'll beg you for forgiveness.
I'll keep begging.
I can't give up on you. You're
the most precious person in my life.
Ji-uk, you'll be at the trial, right?
Then I'll see you in court.
See you again soon. Ji-uk, I love you!
Goodness gracious.
Hey, Bong-hui. Because of you, I had to
I had to meet someone
that I never wanted to talk to again!
Did I do something wrong again?
Everything you do is wrong.
You're the epitome of wrongness.
I don't know what it's about,
but if I did something wrong
or made another mistake
You are the mistake.
Your existence itself is a mistake!
What?
Is there any progress?
Not really.
We haven't eaten yet,
so we were deciding on a menu.
Okay. So what did you choose to eat?
Jjajangmyeon.
Jjajangmyeon.
If both knives have Jang Hui-jun's
blood on them
Yes?
That means
Bong-hui is not the culprit.
This will be the last time
I interrogate you as the suspect.
That means you'll soon become
the defendant.
I trust you.
I trust that you believe me.
I really trust you.
That's the only choice I have right now.
GOYANG DISTRICT COUR
I'm so nervous. What should I do?
Defendant Eun Bong-hui planned to murder
her ex-boyfriend,
Jang Hui-jun, after he broke up with her.
On May 11, 2015, she lured the victim,
Jang Hui-jun, to her place.
Then she brutally murdered him
with a sharp knife.
For this, I indict defendant
Eun Bong-hui for murder
under Article 250 of the Criminal Code.
Attorney Ji, do you admit
to the charge made by the prosecution?
No. I do not, Your Honor.
Defendant Eun Bong-hui pleads not guilty.
Have you witnessed the defendant
threatening the victim to kill him?
Yes.
I've numerously witnessed her doing so
with my own eyes and ears.
In addition, many classmates
also witnessed her threatening him.
That scumbag. That jerk.
I was going to dump him first.
I'm going to kill you, Hui-jun.
My gosh.
-It's delicious.
-Yes, it is.
"I could die of hunger.
I'm so upset that I could die."
A common expression, right?
Do you think everyone
who used that word actually died?
That goes the same for
"I'm going to kill you."
Bong-hui meant every single word she said.
She wasn't just joking around.
In my opinion,
she became a potential murderer
as soon as she said those threats.
I heard that you also said the same thing
at the police station.
Sorry?
Let go!
I'm going to kill her.
I'm going to kill her!
-That was
-You meant what you said.
You weren't joking, right?
Then does that also make you
a potential murderer?
She always sang a weird song
that showed
a lot of hate and resentment.
She would sometimes change the lyrics.
Could you give us an example?
Right now?
I'll give it a try.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Watch me cursing you
You'd better remember
Because I'll be sure to kill you
That's all.
As soon as Eun Bong-hui
and Jang Hui-jun broke up,
I heard that you asked Eun Bong-hui out.
Well, that was just a joke.
Bong-hui, shall I go out with you?
What do you say?
In total, you asked her out three times,
-and you got rejected every single time.
-Yes.
That's true, but
If you actually thought
she was capable of killing someone,
do you think you would've asked her out?
By any chance, are you giving us
a false testimony
because you have a grudge against her?
No
May I get a witness protection?
WITNESS
It is true that I sometimes
cursed and threatened the victim,
and said that I'd kill him.
But I only said those things
momentarily out of anger.
I never really thought of killing him.
If I had really planned to murder him,
I wouldn't have told the whole world
about my plan, don't you think?
People don't put everything
in their mind to action.
To be honest, I'm pretty sure
a lot of women have wanted to kill
their boyfriends or husbands
at a certain point in their lives.
What?
Am I wrong?
The trial hasn't ended yet.
Did you write that down?
MURDER IS NO BIG DEAL?
MURDER OUT OF ANGER
GROTESQUE MURDER CASE
Today was the trial
of Eun Bong-hui's murder case.
-What a wench.
-Tell us.
What did she say
to cause such controversy?
"To be honest, I'm pretty sure
a lot of women have wanted to kill
their boyfriends or husbands
at a certain point in their lives."
She sounded like a psychopath.
What a brazen woman.
My gosh. Every man in this country
better behave around their wives
and girlfriends.
Did you get anything?
Yes. Here are the results for the
murder weapon.
Okay.
SEONHO DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
DNA ANALYSIS REPOR
She's here!
-Step back a little!
-Move!
-Over there.
-She's there.
-How do you feel?
-Please tell us.
-Please look here.
-Why did you murder him?
-Please tell us.
-How do you feel right now?
-Say something.
-Why did you do it?
-How do you feel right now?
-Move aside.
-Do you feel guilty?
-How do you feel?
-Please tell us.
-Hurry up.
-Why did you do it?
-How do you feel?
COURT IN SESSION
Your Honor.
I'd like to submit some extra evidence.
I don't understand why he would
submit extra evidence
when he already completed
interrogating her.
This evidence was found
at the defendant's house
at 3:00 p.m. on May 15.
It's just that
we needed to fully confirm
whether or not this knife
was the knife used to stab the victim,
Jang Hui-jun.
We were able to receive
the results last night.
Please understand
we couldn't hand it in any earlier.
Your Honor,
according to the investigation reports,
the defendant's house was searched
numerous times.
However, nothing showed up.
Therefore, it's very hard to accept
that a weapon suddenly showed up
days after they searched her house.
Please postpone accepting it as evidence.
First, I'll admit it as evidence.
However, I'd also like to hear
from the forensic doctor.
You are claiming that the stab wound
found on the victim's body
and the shape of the weapon
match perfectly. Is this right?
Yes, by examining the length
of the stab wound,
I can roughly find out the shape
of the murder weapon.
The shape of the submitted weapon
is almost identical.
The skilled investigators
could not find the weapon,
but one day, it appears out of nowhere.
Isn't this a bit suspicious?
All right, this is a mere possibility.
Could it be that the weapon with the DNA
could've been fabricated?
For example, someone could've gotten
the blood from the victim's clothes
or belongings, and put it on the weapon.
I can't say that your claim
is scientifically impossible,
but at the same time,
you can't prove your claim is possible--
But it is still possible though.
That's all.
Prosecutor, you may deliver
your closing argument.
Yes, Your Honor.
The defendant, Eun Bong-hui,
is charged with first-degree murder
after luring the victim, Jang Hui-jun
to her apartment
in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province
on May 11, 2015.
My dad said he lost his only sister
to a criminal.
You punk.
Who told you that you could wear my robe
without my permission?
-Put your hands in the air.
-Thus,
my dad became a prosecutor
as a duck takes to water.
He distanced himself from political
and corrupted prosecutors.
This robe is important.
He only took criminal cases
and fought against crime.
My dad
was my hero.
Just like his sister, my dad
became a victim of a crime.
I wanted to fulfill my dad's dream
he couldn't fulfill himself.
I
wanted to be just like my dad.
I wanted to fight against crime
just like my dad did,
catch as many criminals as I can,
and one day,
die as a prosecutor.
However
Hence, the prosecution
would like to suggest
suitable punishment for the defendant.
She premeditated the murder,
she didn't repent her crime
as she lied during the whole trial,
and the victim's family is asking
for a severe punishment.
Taking these into account,
according to Article 250
of the Criminal Code
I ask that she be sentenced
to 15 years in prison
for the first-degree murder.
Get her to confess and charge her.
If you fail to charge her
and get the maximum penalty,
you'll be fired.
You believe me, don't you?
I trust that you believe me.
You are the only hope I have right now.
The prosecution's argument
that the defendant killed the victim
is based on circumstantial evidence
and not beyond reasonable doubts
Prosecutor.
Are you aware that the attorney is
delivering his closing argument?
-Why are you
-Your Honor.
I'd like to
submit additional evidence.
Did you say you want
to submit additional evidence?
Yes, Your Honor.
The truth is
there was one more weapon
that was discovered.
These two weapons were found
on the same day at different places.
Jang Hui-jun, the victim's blood
was on both of these weapons.
If you look at this slide,
there is a map
where the other weapon was found.
It's about 7km away from the crime scene.
Considering the time of death and
the response time of the ambulance,
it's impossible for the accused
to travel this far
after killing the victim to conceal
the murder weapon.
Either she has an accomplice
who could have disposed the weapon,
or unless she is a super human
who can teleport,
this is impossible.
Then why are you submitting
this piece of evidence just now?
I excluded this evidence on purpose.
Going forward with the trial
was more important than the truth to me.
If there are two murder weapons,
it means one of them is fabricated.
Which means the weapons
are not admissible in court.
Ergo,
according to Article 255
of the Criminal Procedure Law,
the prosecution moves
to dismiss the charge.
I can't understand a thing.
What's going to happen to Bong-hui?
What is he saying? What does that mean?
The prosecutor dug his own grave,
and he will release the defendant.
Really?
The prosecutor ended the case
with his own hands.
The defendant, Eun Bong-hui,
will be released.
So it means she can go home.
Sir. My goodness. Thank you, sir.
You don't have to thank me.
Oh, right.
-He's coming.
-He's coming out now.
Isn't this an unprecedented case
where the prosecution drops the charges?
-Did you obtain the approval?
-Did you run it by the district attroney?
-Isn't this act of rebellion?
-Was this settled in advance?
-Please say a few words.
-She's here!
-She's coming out.
-Here she is.
How do you feel?
-We'll hold an interview later.
-This is not the end, right?
-What are your thoughts on this?
-I'm sorry. Please move aside.
-Tell us how you feel.
-Please share a few words.
-Did you expect this?
-Were you aware of the evidence?
-How do you feel now?
-Hold on a second.
What are your thoughts on the result?
Tell us your thoughts.
Bong-hui, let's get going.
How do you feel?
-Please answer a question.
-Tell us!
Isn't this unprecedented?
I'm fine.
You didn't have to do that.
I guess.
You did that in case
the prosecution files an appeal
even if she's acquitted, right?
I don't know.
The prosecution won't appeal?
When a prosecutor drops the charges,
they can't prosecute me again,
unless they find another evidence
that proves me guilty.
Put it in layman's terms.
So it means
the prosecution can arrest me again
only when they find
a crucial piece of evidence against me.
I'm so relieved.
That sounds about right.
The prosecutor made
a big sacrifice for me, Mom.
What's your relationship with her?
Why did you do that for her?
It's fate.
Fate?
THIS IS FATE
I AGREE
BUT HE'S COOL
I THINK SO TOO
Your conscience disappointed me.
I thought it'd be easy for you
to disregard the truth.
I'm more disappointed than you are.
PROSECUTOR NOH JI-UK
My justness certainly let me down.
PROSECUTOR'S OATH
CODE OF CONDUC
FOLLOW PRINCIPLES AND THE RIGHT PATH
I should go.
Being let down and hurt by men,
I thought I'd never be able to trust
anyone ever again.
But I've come to trust
and like someone again.
It's that guy.
The man who saved me.
SEONHO DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I think that we
met by fate.
I also think you're my destiny--
An ill-fated encounter.
So
let's never cross paths again.
Dad, I resigned.
I'm sorry I couldn't become like you.
Lawyer Noh! You're no longer a prosecutor.
Welcome, Noh Ji-uk!
-Get lost.
-Whenever things got stressful,
I took a little break by peeking at you.
I think I met the real culprit.
I'll find the culprit!
I'll become successful and make sure
to repay your kindness too!
I'm going to change our relationship
from an ill-fated one to a good one.
Subtitle translation by Daniel Lee
To Prosecutor Noh Ji-uk.
In the last two months,
I have learned a lot from you.
I learned the living spirit of the law.
You gave me practical wisdom and courage
to fulfill that spirit.
Who am I trying to kid?
There's a limit to how far I can lie.
This is beyond the limit. I went too far.
NOH JI-UK
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
That's right. He is annoying.
He's incredibly annoying.
Singing a song of curse
is not how you take revenge on your ex.
Just ignore him.
Be cool and live a good life.
But he is cool.
Oh, my goodness. I must have gone insane.
I wrote that he's cool.
What is this? Why can't I remember
what happened next?
Why can't I remember?
Gosh, it's hot. It's hot in here.
I'm getting hot.
There is always a cause and effect
in every event.
It's a known truth to everyone,
but the problem is
I'm hot.
Gosh, this is refreshing.
The problem is,
sometimes we can't find the cause.
Something is definitely happening,
but we can't ever find out
the reason why it is happening.
Just like how I can't find it out now.
Is she sleeping already?
I knew it, Bong-hui.
You didn't change the passcode.
You may deny your feelings,
but you can't help but wait for me.
Beer.
Beer.
Gosh!
An effect happened upon me,
but I don't know the cause of it.
It's an unlucky, harsh,
and sudden accident.
-Let go of him!
-Be quiet!
-Let go!
-You are going to regret this.
All right. Ms. Eun Bong-hui,
let's go over this.
Even if it was really dark
because of the blackout,
you still went out to buy beer.
If you don't pull yourself together
now, you might get in trouble.
If there was an accident,
clean up afterwards.
The initial response is important.
Get a grip.
Hey.
I am a suspect, not a witness
right now, aren't I?
Well, let's investigate
without any presumptions.
I don't want to draw any lines now.
I understand, detectives.
Usually, the suspect is
someone close to the victim,
or the person who discovered the body.
Plus the place where it happened
and the condition I am in now.
I may look like a suspect.
You just admitted.
I said "may."
Please listen to me carefully.
If you pinpoint an innocent person
as the suspect,
the initial investigation
will be a total mess.
The real suspect is someone else
and you have to find that person,
but if you focus on an innocent person
like me,
what will happen to the real suspect?
The suspect will disappear. You will
lose the evidence and witnesses.
Let go. Move aside.
You have finally done it.
Who are you? Who
Are you the last person
who talked with Mr. Jang Hui-jun?
Why did you kill him?
Hey, I didn't.
All right. Hui-jun did dump you.
-Is that something to kill him for?
-It wasn't me.
You kept singing that you will kill him.
There are so many witnesses.
Should I call all our classmates?
I only said it. I didn't mean any of it.
Stop fooling yourself. Bring back Hui-jun.
Bring back Hui-jun, you bitch!
Don't do this.
-Let go of me.
-Let her go.
I'm going to kill her.
I'll kill her!
I I really didn't do it.
-Let go!
-It's really not me.
-I didn't do it. Please believe me.
-I'm going to kill you!
If
I can give a spoiler about my life
to myself in the past,
I'll tell her this.
"Bong-hui, be careful of men.
They will ruin your life."
What do I have to be careful of?
Women.
When a man meets the wrong woman
and vice versa,
his life can be doomed in one blow.
But from what I can see,
there's one person like that in your fate.
You'll get in huge trouble
if you cross paths with her.
That woman will completely destroy
your life.
Who's that woman?
You had your eyes closed
for exactly 17 minutes.
You're fighting a war against insomnia,
not against crimes.
If someone can help me get a sound sleep,
I'd be willing to give my body
and soul to that person.
I heard you can get insomnia
when your bed is too big.
You might sleep like a baby
when you meet a nice woman.
Don't even. I had a dream about a woman
I shouldn't cross paths with.
A woman you shouldn't cross paths with?
Yes.
When I was a kid, there was
a fake monk in my neighborhood.
He told me something ridiculous.
I had forgotten all about it,
but he showed up in my dream.
What did he say? There was
this woman I shouldn't meet
EUN BONG-HUI
-Bong-hui?
-Is Bong-hui that woman?
Did he predict it when you were a kid?
Why is she calling at this hour?
Hey.
Well Mr. Noh.
What is it? Make it quick.
Just get to the point.
I've been arrested without a warrant.
You've been arrested?
How much did you drink?
I didn't drink at all.
Yet you got arrested without a warrant?
What did you do? Assault?
-No.
-Theft?
-No way.
-Public indecency?
-Of course not.
-Then what on earth is it?
It's murder.
Goodness.
Mur
What should I do?
Isn't he District Attorney Jang Mu-yeong?
-Pardon?
-The district attorney of Seonho.
I heard they've arrested a suspect.
Hey, Bong-hui. You're really
What on earth were you thinking
Come here. Hey!
You're so dead. You little
I think
I got myself in trouble, but
You think? You think you did something?
Something must've gone wrong.
I know that much,
but I don't know what I did wrong.
I really have no idea.
Look up.
I don't want to, why?
Let me see your shameless face.
Look at me.
I never meant for this to happen,
but it did happen.
So let's say that much is my fault.
However, all I did was step out
to pick up beer because I was thirsty.
When I got back,
everything had already happened.
I have no idea
what would ever lead to this.
I can't believe it, and I'm terrified.
But you're the only person I can count on.
Why would you count on me? Don't.
I will.
I will count on you.
You're the only person I know
who knows the law and has power.
Hey, take those clothes off first.
Pardon me?
I'm saying you should wash up.
Those clothes should be submitted
as evidence.
Mr. Bang will bring you
a change of clothes.
Just wash that off yourself first.
That's when it finally hit me.
Hui-jun is dead.
Yes, I liked you a lot.
Even though you betrayed me,
dumped me, and hurt me,
I never actually wished you wrong.
Please
rest in peace.
I pray for you with all my heart.
Praying is one thing,
but why did you have to die at my place?
Out of all the places
in this whole wide world,
why did you have to die at my place?
Are you trying to mess up my life?
What have I done to you
to deserve this? You jerk.
I'm sorry I swore at you.
Why did you
You shouldn't have died.
Why did you die?
I really wish you didn't die
Next news. Everyone is shocked
by the murder of a trainee
from the Judicial Research
and Training Institute.
The fact that the victim
is the son of a district attorney
has caused a big stir.
The prime suspect, Ms. Eun,
who has been arrested
could not accept the fact
that the victim broke up with her.
She's been stalking and threatening him
on a daily basis. The victim
This is the prosecutors' office.
Pardon me?
The chief's office?
Ominous premonitions are usually right.
The fact that attorneys named him
as the worst prosecutor
means that suspects and their counsels
hate him.
In other words,
he's always in support of the victims.
Yes, that's right.
When it comes to criminal cases,
Mr. Noh is the best prosecutor.
He's the best at dragging out confessions,
and he has the highest conviction rate.
Please investigate fairly
and prove that justice is still alive.
This is the worst possible situation
I could imagine.
-There she is.
-She's coming out.
-She's getting off.
-Take photos.
-She's coming out.
-Take photos!
-She's out.
-Why did you kill him?
Was it planned or accidental?
Do you admit it?
You should at least say
whether you killed him or not!
Did you kill him because he dumped you?
Please move your hair out of your face.
-We can see her face now!
-Take off your mask!
Take it off!
Please say a few words!
-Did you kill him or not?
-Hey, take photos now!
I'm pretty sure I told you
not to show up before me as a suspect.
I
I'm a ruthless prosecutor.
Let's get started.
You're currently being investigated
for the murder of Jang Hui-jun.
You have the right to remain silent
to any question that might be
be used against you.
Get her to confess and charge her.
If you fail to charge her
and get the maximum penalty,
you'll be fired, and won't be able to work
even as an attorney.
Even if you get lucky, you'll end up
in some far away countryside.
Do you understand?
Do you admit that
all circumstances point to you
as the culprit?
This is the statement of the part-timer
at the convenience store.
He remembers a customer
coming into the store that night,
but he can't remember that person's face.
He doesn't remember you.
Excuse me.
I can't hear you well.
There was a black out that night.
The CCTV was also out of order.
That means nothing can prove
you were outside
in the middle of the night.
Can you still not hear me?
To be exact, I can't see you.
What?
They won't let me wear
contact lenses, and some ass
Some journalist broke my glasses
a while ago.
So I can't really see properly.
It's weird, but when I can't see,
I can't hear properly either.
Probably because
I can't see your facial expressions.
It makes it hard for me
to figure out how you're feeling
-or what you're thinking.
-So what?
You see, I can totally understand
your situation right now.
I also know that Jang Hui-jun
was the one who cheated on you.
I totally understand how devastated
you must have felt that night.
-So
-It's not going to work on me.
I've seen you interrogate people
many times.
You're trying to appease me
by sweet-talking to me.
Other than the police and paramedics
who were at the site,
we couldn't find anyone else's DNA
at the crime scene.
There were only yours and Jang Hui-jun's.
That was all.
Are you still going to deny it?
This won't work on me either.
Exactly. Darn it.
You're going to get charged anyway.
The motive is clear,
and you have no alibi.
He got killed at your house,
and there's no other suspect.
That's enough to charge you.
But I really didn't kill him.
-That doesn't even matter.
-Pardon?
Whether you're guilty or not,
you're going to get
the maximum sentence allowed by law.
That's the only way I can save my career.
You believe me, don't you?
I trust that you believe me.
I trust that you're on my side.
You're the only hope
I have right now.
But from what I can see, there's
one person like that in your fate.
You'll get in huge trouble
if you cross paths with her.
That woman will completely destroy
your life.
-I've become uncivilized.
-Sorry?
I said I've become uncivilized.
Because of you, I am about to believe
what that fake monk said.
Who's that woman?
You'll find out who she is
once you see her.
"So this must be her!"
He said I'll know when I see her.
Now I know I met her.
It's
It's you, Bong-hui.
I'm sure I've seen her somewhere.
I've seen her in real life.
She looks extremely intimidating.
Really?
Yes. She's really something.
I wonder if she hired an attorney.
The victim is the son
of District Attorney Jang.
Who would want to defend her?
He'd get on the bad side
of the prosecution.
She'll get a public defender.
She'll get the most incompetent lawyer
in this country.
What's wrong?
Ji-uk
Did something happen? What's up?
He's calling me.
MY JI-UK
So?
Ji-uk's calling me.
It's been ages since he called me.
Wait.
Hello? Hey, Ji-uk.
Yes.
Please do me a favor. Okay.
I can't believe you called Mr. Ji
when you hate him so much.
My gosh! Bugs!
It feels like
bugs are crawling all over my body.
Let's go.
Thank goodness, I didn't
throw these glasses away.
How did you find them?
It's not like they have legs.
I found them after a while.
I should've gotten you new glasses
that are pretty.
I'm only going to use them
for a while. It would've been a waste.
Of course. You'll get out of there soon.
Goodness.
By the way, these glasses
remind me of the past.
You studied so hard with those glasses on.
And you supported me
throughout the whole journey.
Don't you worry about me.
It's not even my first time.
Back when your dad
How's the food? Is it okay?
Giving massages is tiring, isn't it?
Nonsense. Everyone lives a tough life
like I do.
Relief patches don't cost that much.
Why do you split them like that?
I can use them on different spots
by splitting them like this.
By the way, how are your cellmates?
Are they nice?
Are there any bullies?
What are you talking about?
I'm the head of the cell.
-Really?
-Yes.
I'm the only one who got
charged with murder.
Everyone else got charged
with theft, embezzlement,
fraud, and gambling.
But I got charged with murder,
so they're all scared of me.
That's great.
Your time's up.
Why does time fly so fast?
Mom, you don't need to
come tomorrow. Okay?
Don't worry about me,
and keep your head up high.
You can do it, Bong-hui.
I can do it. I'll be off then.
You should go.
Bye, Mom.
Why isn't she here yet?
My goodness. My gosh.
Are you okay?
You hit me again.
I'm really sorry.
I'm really smart, so it's okay
if my brain cells die a little bit.
I see. Okay.
I got admitted as your attorney,
so the public defender appointment process
will be canceled.
I'm sorry.
How How did this happen?
Your glasses
I'm not saying they look funny.
But they do seem to neutralize
your intimidating face.
It's great. It's a great tactic.
-Thank you.
-I should thank you.
Why would you thank me?
Thanks to you, Ji-uk called me.
Sorry?
What kind of relationship
do you have with Ji-uk?
He was my mentor, and now
he's the prosecutor in charge of my case.
No, not that. Is there anything else
in your relationship?
Sir, don't you have any questions for me?
I do.
Did you kill Jang Hui-jun?
No.
Now I know everything I need to know.
The CCTV's broken.
This place is under reconstruction,
so there are a lot of empty houses.
There was a black out that night.
I'm sorry, but this looks like
a great place to commit murder.
I don't know about that.
But this place does seem suitable
for Bong-hui.
How's the weapon search going?
They scanned the whole place,
but nothing turned up yet.
What about the other jurisdictions?
I've called every police station
in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province.
I asked them to report to us
if they find a weapon
13cm in length and 3.5cm in width.
-Okay, you did a good job.
-I did, right?
But why are you trying so hard?
I'm just open to possibilities.
Like Bong-hui said, someone else
could actually be the culprit.
By a slim chance, I mean.
It'd be great if that were true.
Was it around 12:30 a.m.?
I looked out the window
because I was feeling a bit hot.
I couldn't see anything
because I wasn't wearing my glasses.
I just felt the cool breeze,
and that was it.
If she witnessed something,
but doesn't know what she saw
That's why
the witness
This can't be.
Mr. Bang, you checked all the incidents
around this neighborhood
on that night, right?
Of course.
I looked into all the sex offenders
and ex-convicts around here.
But I couldn't find anything.
Can you check the residents' whereabouts
once more just in case?
Yes, sir.
Whoever the killer is,
he or she definitely entered the house
and stabbed the victim.
I think I might have seen her
from somewhere.
She has a typical face.
But this feels a bit uncomfortable.
Inspecting the house of someone we know
as a crime scene
It makes me feel like I'm prying on her.
NOH JI-UK
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
What is that?
It's nothing.
Why are we shaking hands? We can do this!
I CAN DO I
NOH JI-UK WAS ANNOYING TODAY
AS ALWAYS
It looks like
BUT HE'S COOL
she actually wanted to kill you
more than Jang Hui-jun.
Hello?
Yes, this is he.
Please go on.
Okay.
The murder weapon has been found.
It was found in a place 7km far from here.
A passerby who was taking a walk
found it and reported.
What is this?
The length is 13cm and the width is 3.5cm.
The weapon fits the size
of the stab wound on Jang Hui-jun.
What?
It must look something like this.
That's
Why isn't she indicted yet?
A further investigation is necessary.
We currently have no direct evidence
like the murder weapon or witnesses.
And she hasn't admitted to it yet either.
The murder weapon
You might find it soon.
What needs to turn up always turns up.
As both of us know, what's important is
that Eun Bong-hui is the culprit.
Am I wrong?
This place was searched
multiple times, right?
We searched here so many times.
You have no idea how many times
we did it to find the murder weapon.
It wasn't found in all those times,
yet this ended up in my hand.
Plus, we might have found two.
Well, the other one
Gosh, I have no idea
what's happening right now.
Let's go to the Forensic Center.
CRIME LAB
IN THE SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I need to find out if the blood on these
are Jang Hui-jun's.
Please run an analysis as soon as possible
and keep it confidential.
-Confidential?
-Yes.
This was found on the scene, so
it doesn't have to be confidential.
But this one over here.
It was found elsewhere,
so it must be kept confidential.
Mr. Ji, what's your IQ?
143. It's quite high.
Right.
-Aren't you going to ask me?
-Sorry?
People usually reciprocate.
When someone says hello,
most people say it back.
Oh, right.
All right. My IQ is 143. What's yours?
It's 101.
I passed the bar exam
with that IQ. Isn't it impressive?
Also, I used to be an aspiring athlete.
How much effort do you think
I had to make to pass the bar exam?
I asked myself every single day.
Should I just quit everything
and earn money
so that I can help my family?
I mean, I wasn't even confident
that I'd pass it.
Studying was hard,
but watching my mom having
to support me was even harder.
That's how I came this far,
but all the time and effort
are about to go down the drain.
So please don't think
of defending me as a joke.
Or helping me out as a charity.
I don't want that mindset either.
My life depends on this,
and my family is also at stake.
Do we have to see each other?
Ji-uk?
How's Bong-hui? Have you met her?
I have.
Oh, and The reason I asked you
to be her attorney is
It was because her right
to consult with an attorney
wasn't respected. That was why.
I know. I bet no attorney
wanted to help her.
I'm only doing this for you, you know?
Do you have say that out loud?
I'll do my very best as her attorney.
I never told you not to.
I'm saying I'll beat you, Prosecutor Noh.
Bring it on.
You're not going to give in?
You want to convict her and lock her up?
What prosecutor prosecutes
just so he could lose?
I see.
I'm going if you're done talking.
Hey, wait. Ji-uk!
Hey, just a second. Hey!
Hey, you're not going to stay for coffee?
I guess you've forgotten.
I can't stand the sight of you
even for a second. You know that?
You still can't forgive me?
Darn it. That's right. It's too hard.
Then I'll beg you for forgiveness.
I'll keep begging.
I can't give up on you. You're
the most precious person in my life.
Ji-uk, you'll be at the trial, right?
Then I'll see you in court.
See you again soon. Ji-uk, I love you!
Goodness gracious.
Hey, Bong-hui. Because of you, I had to
I had to meet someone
that I never wanted to talk to again!
Did I do something wrong again?
Everything you do is wrong.
You're the epitome of wrongness.
I don't know what it's about,
but if I did something wrong
or made another mistake
You are the mistake.
Your existence itself is a mistake!
What?
Is there any progress?
Not really.
We haven't eaten yet,
so we were deciding on a menu.
Okay. So what did you choose to eat?
Jjajangmyeon.
Jjajangmyeon.
If both knives have Jang Hui-jun's
blood on them
Yes?
That means
Bong-hui is not the culprit.
This will be the last time
I interrogate you as the suspect.
That means you'll soon become
the defendant.
I trust you.
I trust that you believe me.
I really trust you.
That's the only choice I have right now.
GOYANG DISTRICT COUR
I'm so nervous. What should I do?
Defendant Eun Bong-hui planned to murder
her ex-boyfriend,
Jang Hui-jun, after he broke up with her.
On May 11, 2015, she lured the victim,
Jang Hui-jun, to her place.
Then she brutally murdered him
with a sharp knife.
For this, I indict defendant
Eun Bong-hui for murder
under Article 250 of the Criminal Code.
Attorney Ji, do you admit
to the charge made by the prosecution?
No. I do not, Your Honor.
Defendant Eun Bong-hui pleads not guilty.
Have you witnessed the defendant
threatening the victim to kill him?
Yes.
I've numerously witnessed her doing so
with my own eyes and ears.
In addition, many classmates
also witnessed her threatening him.
That scumbag. That jerk.
I was going to dump him first.
I'm going to kill you, Hui-jun.
My gosh.
-It's delicious.
-Yes, it is.
"I could die of hunger.
I'm so upset that I could die."
A common expression, right?
Do you think everyone
who used that word actually died?
That goes the same for
"I'm going to kill you."
Bong-hui meant every single word she said.
She wasn't just joking around.
In my opinion,
she became a potential murderer
as soon as she said those threats.
I heard that you also said the same thing
at the police station.
Sorry?
Let go!
I'm going to kill her.
I'm going to kill her!
-That was
-You meant what you said.
You weren't joking, right?
Then does that also make you
a potential murderer?
She always sang a weird song
that showed
a lot of hate and resentment.
She would sometimes change the lyrics.
Could you give us an example?
Right now?
I'll give it a try.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Watch me cursing you
You'd better remember
Because I'll be sure to kill you
That's all.
As soon as Eun Bong-hui
and Jang Hui-jun broke up,
I heard that you asked Eun Bong-hui out.
Well, that was just a joke.
Bong-hui, shall I go out with you?
What do you say?
In total, you asked her out three times,
-and you got rejected every single time.
-Yes.
That's true, but
If you actually thought
she was capable of killing someone,
do you think you would've asked her out?
By any chance, are you giving us
a false testimony
because you have a grudge against her?
No
May I get a witness protection?
WITNESS
It is true that I sometimes
cursed and threatened the victim,
and said that I'd kill him.
But I only said those things
momentarily out of anger.
I never really thought of killing him.
If I had really planned to murder him,
I wouldn't have told the whole world
about my plan, don't you think?
People don't put everything
in their mind to action.
To be honest, I'm pretty sure
a lot of women have wanted to kill
their boyfriends or husbands
at a certain point in their lives.
What?
Am I wrong?
The trial hasn't ended yet.
Did you write that down?
MURDER IS NO BIG DEAL?
MURDER OUT OF ANGER
GROTESQUE MURDER CASE
Today was the trial
of Eun Bong-hui's murder case.
-What a wench.
-Tell us.
What did she say
to cause such controversy?
"To be honest, I'm pretty sure
a lot of women have wanted to kill
their boyfriends or husbands
at a certain point in their lives."
She sounded like a psychopath.
What a brazen woman.
My gosh. Every man in this country
better behave around their wives
and girlfriends.
Did you get anything?
Yes. Here are the results for the
murder weapon.
Okay.

COURT IN SESSION
Your Honor.
I'd like to submit some extra evidence.
I don't understand why he would
submit extra evidence
when he already completed
interrogating her.
This evidence was found
at the defendant's house
at 3:00 p.m. on May 15.
It's just that
we needed to fully confirm
whether or not this knife
was the knife used to stab the victim,
Jang Hui-jun.
We were able to receive
the results last night.
Please understand
we couldn't hand it in any earlier.
Your Honor,
according to the investigation reports,
the defendant's house was searched
numerous times.
However, nothing showed up.
Therefore, it's very hard to accept
that a weapon suddenly showed up
days after they searched her house.
Please postpone accepting it as evidence.
First, I'll admit it as evidence.
However, I'd also like to hear
from the forensic doctor.
You are claiming that the stab wound
found on the victim's body
and the shape of the weapon
match perfectly. Is this right?
Yes, by examining the length
of the stab wound,
I can roughly find out the shape
of the murder weapon.
The shape of the submitted weapon
is almost identical.
The skilled investigators
could not find the weapon,
but one day, it appears out of nowhere.
Isn't this a bit suspicious?
All right, this is a mere possibility.
Could it be that the weapon with the DNA
could've been fabricated?
For example, someone could've gotten
the blood from the victim's clothes
or belongings, and put it on the weapon.
I can't say that your claim
is scientifically impossible,
but at the same time,
you can't prove your claim is possible--
But it is still possible though.
That's all.
Prosecutor, you may deliver
your closing argument.
Yes, Your Honor.
The defendant, Eun Bong-hui,
is charged with first-degree murder
after luring the victim, Jang Hui-jun
to her apartment
in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province
on May 11, 2015.
My dad said he lost his only sister
to a criminal.
You punk.
Who told you that you could wear my robe
without my permission?
-Put your hands in the air.
-Thus,
my dad became a prosecutor
as a duck takes to water.
He distanced himself from political
and corrupted prosecutors.
This robe is important.
He only took criminal cases
and fought against crime.
My dad
was my hero.
Just like his sister, my dad
became a victim of a crime.
I wanted to fulfill my dad's dream
he couldn't fulfill himself.
I
wanted to be just like my dad.
I wanted to fight against crime
just like my dad did,
catch as many criminals as I can,
and one day,
die as a prosecutor.
However
Hence, the prosecution
would like to suggest
suitable punishment for the defendant.
She premeditated the murder,
she didn't repent her crime
as she lied during the whole trial,
and the victim's family is asking
for a severe punishment.
Taking these into account,
according to Article 250
of the Criminal Code
I ask that she be sentenced
to 15 years in prison
for the first-degree murder.
Get her to confess and charge her.
If you fail to charge her
and get the maximum penalty,
you'll be fired.
You believe me, don't you?
I trust that you believe me.
You are the only hope I have right now.
The prosecution's argument
that the defendant killed the victim
is based on circumstantial evidence
and not beyond reasonable doubts
Prosecutor.
Are you aware that the attorney is
delivering his closing argument?
-Why are you
-Your Honor.
I'd like to
submit additional evidence.
Did you say you want
to submit additional evidence?
Yes, Your Honor.
The truth is
there was one more weapon
that was discovered.
These two weapons were found
on the same day at different places.
Jang Hui-jun, the victim's blood
was on both of these weapons.
If you look at this slide,
there is a map
where the other weapon was found.
It's about 7km away from the crime scene.
Considering the time of death and
the response time of the ambulance,
it's impossible for the accused
to travel this far
after killing the victim to conceal
the murder weapon.
Either she has an accomplice
who could have disposed the weapon,
or unless she is a super human
who can teleport,
this is impossible.
Then why are you submitting
this piece of evidence just now?
I excluded this evidence on purpose.
Going forward with the trial
was more important than the truth to me.
If there are two murder weapons,
it means one of them is fabricated.
Which means the weapons
are not admissible in court.
Ergo,
according to Article 255
of the Criminal Procedure Law,
the prosecution moves
to dismiss the charge.
I can't understand a thing.
What's going to happen to Bong-hui?
What is he saying? What does that mean?
The prosecutor dug his own grave,
and he will release the defendant.
Really?
The prosecutor ended the case
with his own hands.
The defendant, Eun Bong-hui,
will be released.
So it means she can go home.
Sir. My goodness. Thank you, sir.
You don't have to thank me.
Oh, right.
-He's coming.
-He's coming out now.
Isn't this an unprecedented case
where the prosecution drops the charges?
-Did you obtain the approval?
-Did you run it by the district attroney?
-Isn't this act of rebellion?
-Was this settled in advance?
-Please say a few words.
-She's here!
-She's coming out.
-Here she is.
How do you feel?
-We'll hold an interview later.
-This is not the end, right?
-What are your thoughts on this?
-I'm sorry. Please move aside.
-Tell us how you feel.
-Please share a few words.
-Did you expect this?
-Were you aware of the evidence?
-How do you feel now?
-Hold on a second.
What are your thoughts on the result?
Tell us your thoughts.
Bong-hui, let's get going.
How do you feel?
-Please answer a question.
-Tell us!
Isn't this unprecedented?
I'm fine.
You didn't have to do that.
I guess.
You did that in case
the prosecution files an appeal
even if she's acquitted, right?
I don't know.
The prosecution won't appeal?
When a prosecutor drops the charges,
they can't prosecute me again,
unless they find another evidence
that proves me guilty.
Put it in layman's terms.
So it means
the prosecution can arrest me again
only when they find
a crucial piece of evidence against me.
I'm so relieved.
That sounds about right.
The prosecutor made
a big sacrifice for me, Mom.
What's your relationship with her?
Why did you do that for her?
It's fate.
Fate?
THIS IS FATE
I AGREE
BUT HE'S COOL
I THINK SO TOO
Your conscience disappointed me.
I thought it'd be easy for you
to disregard the truth.
I'm more disappointed than you are.
PROSECUTOR NOH JI-UK
My justness certainly let me down.

I also think you're my destiny--

Dad, I resigned.
I'm sorry I couldn't become like you.

I'm going to change our relationship
