Suspicious Partner (2017) s01e06 Episode Script

1
-You're back.
-Yes.
Let me see your face.
No, it's okay. Go away.
I've been staying up until now
to see your face.
You have to show me.
Got you!
It was a thirty-versus-two fight.
It was a fierce fight. There were
thirty guys against the two of us.
Gosh, what kind of scums did this to you?
You don't need to know.
They're just jerks.
Call me next time. You know
I'm a fourth-degree tae kwon do master.
Be gentle.
The other side too.
Sometimes, it doesn't look like
he suffers from insomnia.
This is the definition
of the word "beginning."
The first step of an act
or a circumstance.
Or the first step of an emotion.
Well
Don't get the wrong idea.
Why? What is it?
What do you mean why?
I don't know
what you are telling me not to do.
I just told you not to get the wrong idea
since it was nothing.
If you ask me that question,
I don't know how to respond to that.
Teasing you is fun.
Hey, I've been too nice to you, haven't I?
Not really.
-You think I'm easy.
-No, comfortable.
I'm the CEO and you are a mere employee.
I forgot for a moment
that you pull ranks on people.
Really? Let me refresh your memory
of the days when you were a trainee.
I'll behave now.
You knew you were misbehaving.
I'm sorry. I overstepped my boundary
because I was hyper.
Are you drunk? Why are you hyper?
I'm not drunk. I was hyper
because I was in a good mood.
I didn't get to thank you properly.
Thank you.
You always rescue me
whenever I'm at a dead end.
Pay me back with hard work.
I'll do my best.
Okay. Do your best.
Make sure you lock your door.
I might accidentally go in.
I was kidding. I was hyper.
Darn it. Why do you keep getting hyper?
GOT HIRED AND BECAME A HOSTAGE
Nice.
This is our very first meeting at last.
The beginning is
-always thrilling.
-You're not firing her?
Why are you glaring at me?
Ms. Lack-of-evidence.
We are feeling a bit fierce
from the start, aren't we?
Should I brief you on recruiting first?
-Please.
-We need secretaries, clerks--
We have a secretary, Ms. Lack-of-evidence.
I'm a lawyer with a proper license.
You'll be both. If you don't like it,
pay for your position.
Who would pay for
his or her position at work?
You should do that
because you will bring our firm
only negative effects.
I'll make the profits, Mr. Byeon.
All right. You are our only hope.
That's why you should make me a partner.
Instead of Noh Ji-uk Law Firm,
make it Ji and Noh.
Or Noh and Ji?
We should go ahead with Byeon and Noh.
Then Mr. Byeon,
we should go with Noh, Ji, and Byeon.
If you're going to include
everyone's name, then add mine too.
Noh, Ji, Byeon, Eun, and Bang.
I added my last name too.
Let's move onto the next agenda.
-The next agenda is--
-By the way,
what happened to your faces?
Did you have a fight?
No, we just had to teach
20 or 30 high school juveniles.
As for me, I won a fight
against 37 people all by myself.
-Did you just laugh at me?
-Did I?
It was a rainy night.
There were 37 thugs in our neighborhood.
The beginning
is often quite clumsy.
But this is
worse than being clumsy.
This is a freaking mess!
Get to work!
What's your relationship with her?
What? What do you mean?
I saw everything earlier.
Can't you hear me?
Hire Eun-hyeok!
-Whatever.
-You little
What?
That brat.
What?
Why is she coming out of there?
Are you living with her?
She had nowhere to go,
so I'm just letting her stay here.
It's okay.
You can be honest with me.
Is there really nothing going on
between you two?
Nothing.
Ms. Eun!
Where have you been?
I ran a small errand for Mr. Bang.
I also needed to get something.
Bye, then.
Hey.
You know what happened
between me and Ji-uk, right?
Whom should I badmouth for you?
A friend of mine.
That friend who was with Yu-jeong
that night.
You're very quick-witted.
It's both my strength and weakness.
People don't like that I'm quick-witted.
Ji-uk called me thanks to you.
He wanted me to defend your case.
I guess
I became a murder suspect
in order to help you guys
get back in touch.
That's right.
I really can't thank you enough.
I know you hate me,
but don't hate me too much.
It wasn't even my love affair.
I have no right to hate you.
I really don't like
jerks and wenches who
I really don't like cheaters.
But why are you always
joking around and laughing?
If I don't joke around,
how can I hang around Ji-uk?
I don't know
any other way.
I guess I was meant to be a lawyer.
I really can't picture myself
as a prosecutor or judge.
Instead of accusing and judging
someone of their crime,
I'm the type who'd rather plead for mercy.
I'm more fit to be a lawyer.
You're good-hearted.
My gosh.
My colleagues
will laugh at what you just said.
I'm a murderer.
I'm a person who killed someone.
So you ended up kicking that pervert?
That's right.
Everything got so messed up
because of him.
You're really something.
I admire your courage.
They seem close.
No way.
Are you jealous?
Come on! That's nonsense.
If Bong-hui is in her right mind,
she'd never become friends
with a jerk like Eun-hyeok
What's with everyone today?
Why are you laughing?
Hurry up and tell me.
-Well, it's not
-Gosh, it's cold!
Hey!
You're spraying water on me.
What's wrong with you, Ji-uk?
Mr. Noh?
Hey!
What's wrong with you?
I'm going to go in now.
Hey, stop. You're getting my suit wet.
My gosh, stop it.
Hey! It's cold!
Did you finish your training?
Yes.
Our boss is here.
Hello.
Thank you so much.
Nobody would hire me at my age.
Darn it.
It's nice to meet you.
"Darn it. It's nice to meet you"?
I tend to curse when I'm nervous.
Are you sure that we've never met?
Miss.
Look at me in the eyes.
Look at me in the eyes and answer me.
Is it really your first time seeing me?
I feel like
I was born again.
My goodness, you're funny.
You are a newborn baby.
Why don't you cry like one?
But then again, newborn babies
do tend to have a lot of wrinkles.
What an old and brazen newborn baby.
Let's welcome her with an applause.
Miss,
you better watch out.
I'm the incarnation of revenge.
My gosh, this is so frustrating.
But I'm going to let it go.
I look forward to working with you, ma'am.
I'm a very diligent worker.
I may be old, but I make sure
to keep a neat appearance.
I live from hand to mouth, you see.
I can't afford to lose a month's pay.
My husband doesn't earn a single penny
and lies in bed.
But I still need to provide for him
because he's my husband.
My daughter's trying her best,
but she doesn't have a stable job yet.
As a parent, the least I could do
is to provide for myself.
That's why I changed my mind
and decided to stay.
Why are you so pitiful?
I know.
I feel sorry for you,
but I also feel annoyed by you.
This is confusing me.
I know.
I'd also love to be arrogant
without having to be so pitiful.
Just like someone I know.
Hey!
What should I do first?
I don't know. Just find something to do.
My goodness, you must've eaten
a lot of chicken and pizza.
You have such a strong voice.
Well, yes. Our pizza tastes delicious.
Wait a minute.
What does that have anything to do
with my voice?
Exactly.
My gosh.
My gosh, she always has the last word!
My goodness. Hey, Mom and Dad.
I heard other ancestors
look out for their children from above.
Why did you have to send me here
to work for that wench?
Hello.
They haven't caught the culprit yet.
What? That's so scary.
THE SUSPECT STILL AT LARGE
STAR CHEF'S DEATH SHOCKS EVERYONE
What do you think the reason is?
Why would someone kill a person?
I'm not sure.
I guess everybody has their own situation
and reason.
What kind of situation
can justify a murder?
Revenge for certain women.
A reasonable punishment.
Hey.
DEUTERONOMY 22:25
"But if out in the country a man
happens to meet a young woman
pledged to be married and rapes her,
only the man who has done this shall die.
Deuteronomy 22:25."
A thief.
A thief.
A thief. It was done by a thief.
A thief did this.
Something expensive.
Something expensive needs to be gone.
Mr. Jung Hyeon-su.
You're under arrest
for the murder of Yang Jin-wu.
You have the right to a lawyer
and to resist an unlawful apprehension.
How do you feel at the moment?
-What's your motive?
-Why did you kill him?
Please say a few words!
Please step back.
I heard you kept denying the charges
during the police interrogation.
There's a witness who saw you
on the day of the incident.
You used to deliver packages
to residents in Donga Building One.
Because of that, one of the residents
recognized you right away.
He's the courier guy.
That's not all.
The footprints, DNA and other evidence
found at the scene
Everything is pointing at you.
What I'm trying to say
is that denying it is of no use.
I'll prosecute you
for robbery and homicide.
Are you remaining silent?
I guess you paid attention
when they read you Miranda warning.
MIRANDA WARNING:
NOTIFYING A SUSPECT'S RIGHTS
Well
You won't believe me
even if I tell you the truth, right?
You're jumping to conclusions
without even trying.
I know that much.
I admit it.
I don't believe you, Mr. Jung Hyeon-su.
Will anyone be able to really understand
and believe me?
How do the lyrics go? Well, who cares?
Backing the car into a parking spot!
Nicely done. Perfect job.
I got it done at one blow.
You get to use a company car?
What a great place to work.
I can use it whenever I need it for work.
Isn't it great?
I can eat as much pizza as I want.
Isn't it great?
Gosh, that's amazing.
-Order anything.
-What should I get?
You can order everything.
The chairman is a man
named Byeon Yeong-hui.
His voice is loud,
but he's so petty-minded.
You wouldn't even believe
how petty and small-minded he is.
It blows my mind.
Let me vent to you about a venomous snake.
Every word my boss utters is like venom.
My boss too.
Every word he utters is like a bomb.
Even her eyes look evil.
My boss' eyes look messed up.
That woman is so cold.
You can feel her cold energy
even when she's 15m away
The cold energy is
Is she your daughter?
I didn't know anyone could become
a lawyer these days.
Mom. Recently, there was a verdict
that workplace harassment
can be considered
an industrial accident as well.
Just keep that in mind.
Oh, and the Ministry of Labor is
putting together recommendations for
eliminating workplace harassment.
Are you saying those things
to me right now?
Not at all. Why would I?
After bad-mouthing me like that,
you're saying those things to--
I think this is about work.
Hello? Lawyer Eun Bong-hui speaking.
-I obviously know who you are.
-Hey, Lawyer Noh!
What? "Lawyer Noh"?
What's up? Get to the point.
Hey, stop being ridiculous
and get yourself back here immediately.
Oh, I totally forgot
about the meeting with our client.
All right.
Is she out of her mind?
Daughter, you're so cool.
Don't forget, Mom.
Workplace harassment
can be considered an industrial accident.
What? That little
Gosh, she sure takes after you!
The police, who have been
investigating Mr. Jung who was
arrested as a suspect for
the murder of Chef Yang Jin-wu,
sent Mr. Jung to the prosecution
this morning
for robbery and murder charges.
Those in prosecution are saying
that he is denying the allegation
and that any details
The suspect, Mr. Jung,
wants me to take on the case?
I heard that you succeeded in
killing your boyfriend.
I know you have your ways.
You know how to get away with murder.
People like that come to me.
They assume I'm like them
because I was a murder suspect.
You're useful, Ms. Lack-of-evidence.
It could actually help us
promote the firm.
It's all over the media, you know.
Our firm will surely be well-known.
"Be famous,
and they will praise you
even when you are pooping."
Oh, Andy Warhol.
No, it's not.
-He actually never said it.
-See?
Even something you didn't say
becomes famous when you're famous.
Yes, that's so true.
Who knew Ms. Lack-of-evidence
would be so useful?
A lawyer who has experience
with being arrested.
Share your experience
in the detention cell.
A lawyer who understands how killers feel.
I don't. I don't understand them.
They keep calling me Lack-of-evidence.
Yes.
All right, Mom.
Okay.
Did something happen?
A young woman insulted my mom today.
My gosh, how rude.
What's wrong with people?
What do you need?
Well
I'm heading out to visit Jung Hyeon-su.
Should I go alone?
Do you know why I quit the firm
and opened my own practice?
-No.
-To make others do all the work.
That's what CEOs do.
They suck the life out of their employees.
I'll go with her, Ji-uk.
Hello.
Hey, Ji-uk! My gosh.
I had this terrible nightmare last night.
Maybe it's because I was to meet you.
I'll go in first.
I'm sure I hate this more.
Hey, do you bring her everywhere?
Why?
I don't even know.
How have you been, Ms. Cha?
Not well. What about you, Ms. Eun?
I've been very well.
-Good for you.
-It is good.
Let me cut to the chase.
Are you two really dating?
Am I obligated to answer that question?
I do have the right to know.
You talk about that right to know
whenever it works for you.
I'm so annoyed.
Same here.
I really liked you when I first saw you.
Why does it have to be you?
That's what I want to say.
I really liked you too.
And why did he have to date
such a pretty woman?
It upsets me so much.
What's she saying?
What a bunch of bullshit.
So? You won't tell me?
I asked if you two are actually dating.
Yes, we are.
It's a lie. I knew it.
No, it's true.
I knew it. With me around,
Ji-uk would never--
Right, you are around
but I chose her.
Shall we?
Hey, Bong-hui, are you okay?
Your face looks all weird.
I forget to breathe sometimes.
How can you forget to breathe?
You gave me a hard time
for acting like your girlfriend!
And now this?
Well, you know.
I can't turn my employee into a liar.
How shall I put this?
Shall I say I reaped what you sowed?
Whatever!
You think I'm easy, don't you?
-Yes.
-I've been way too lenient.
We're late.
We were already late long ago.
There are more than 20,000 lawyers
in this country nowadays.
Why did you choose me over others
who have better winning-rate?
If you were planning to ask me
how to get out of a murder charge
or to ask for tips on lack of evidence--
Why are you laughing?
This is driving me nuts.
I killed him.
I stabbed him.
Is this the answer you were looking for?
Is there no other way
than admitting to a false charge
and plea for mercy?
Ms. Eun.
I
I thought you might be
my only ray of hope.
Mr. Noh, you believe me, don't you?
I trust that you believe me.
To me,
you are my only hope.
I'm a delivery man.
You know this, don't you?
I can't even count how many times
I've been to that neighborhood
and that house.
They're saying that's the evidence.
They told me that's the evidence.
That's the evidence.
That is the evidence for the murder.
That's how they got me
and put me in this seat.
I still don't understand
why I'm sitting in this seat now.
I don't even understand
how this happened to me.
To be honest, I'm really lonely.
This situation scares me.
It really does.
Then I did some thinking.
I thought that
there may be a person
who sincerely understands and believes me.
There might be a person
whom I could rely on.
That's it.
I don't know why this is happening to me.
I can't believe this is really happening,
and I'm scared.
But you are the only person I can rely on.
You're asking me if Bong-hui
really killed the son of the Chief?
Yes.
She doesn't look like
she would do that sort of thing.
I've been a prosecutor
only for a few years.
I've met a lot of criminals
who committed murder.
My conclusion is
everyone is capable of killing a person.
Of course, some people are just born
as psychopaths and crazy jerks.
Excluding them,
normal people do kill people too.
They kill in the heat of anger.
People die from a simple beating.
They kill people accidentally.
Some people murder people out of hatred
and money as well.
Therefore, my answer
to your question is
Yes, Bong-hui killed him.
It's based on my personal feelings
and reasonable doubts.
I didn't know
this is how you thought of her.
I'm letting this take its own course,
but one day,
I'm definitely going to catch her.
Ms. Na.
What you said
is helping me come up with an excuse.
Sorry?
Nothing.
In the afternoon of the incident,
since the weather was great,
I went for a walk to the park.
Girls were having fun with the balloons
and running about. They were so cute.
I remembered The Usual Suspects
was being re-released.
So I went to the movies
to catch that film.
I came back
because the schedule didn't fit mine.
And
I had the street food for lunch that day.
I had tteokbokki.
I had good coffee though.
I had tteokbokki and cafe mocha.
I added whipped cream
on top of the coffee.
And I had a drink by myself at a bar
that I visit sometimes.
I usually drink alone.
By the way, at the bar,
a couple had a birthday party on that day.
One, two, three.
This was a video.
Seriously?
-Got you.
-He got us.
-Come sit down.
-Let me see.
Here it is.
They brought a birthday cake with candles.
There's no physical evidence
that can prove his alibi.
There's nothing on his transit pass,
and there are no photos either.
He even paid for his drink with cash.
He said he rarely uses credit cards.
-Do you actually believe that?
-I was in his shoes.
There was no physical evidence
that could prove my alibi.
You're overly empathizing with him.
We're lawyers.
We have to side with our clients.
This is precisely why I hate lawyers.
Then why did you become one?
I became one because of you
Do not empathize with all murderers
in this world.
With all due respect,
I do not empathize with murderers.
I only do so with someone
wrongfully accused of murder.
I'm saying there's no evidence
of him being wrongly accused.
I'm not trying to say
that I'll blindly believe him.
I'm saying we should check
all facts and believe him
if he seems innocent,
and we should do our best.
You already believe him.
We're his lawyers!
This is why I hate lawyers
From over there to here,
I've been repeating myself because of you!
Because of me? It was because of you!
Why is it because of me?
It was all because of you!
It's your fault.
You're seriously a piece of work.
Stop right there! Hey.
Hey.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Why are you and Ji-uk
treating me like this?
Are you two ganging up against me or what?
Why am I being so childish?
I don't even know anymore.
Everything got messed up
because of you two.
I know that you guys hate me.
I admit that what I did was bad.
You were bad too.
But what's so wrong with that?
Hey, did you know
that Ji-uk has a girlfriend now?
How could you let him date someone
who used to be a murder suspect?
Why am I blabbering away like this?
I'm so annoyed.
It's been a long time.
Yes.
It has been a long time.
You should get going.
What?
Let's
only run into each other by chance.
I think it's somewhere around here.
This is it.
I think there used to be
a cake shop around here.
Please stay in the car. I'll--
No, I'll go.
I should get it myself.
Today is my son's birthday.
Cheesecake was his favorite.
I will wrap one for you.
Oh, sir.
How dare you smile?
-Excuse me?
-Do you know what day today is?
How could you laugh and smile like that?
If he were alive,
he would be lighting the candles
about now.
I would be holding the hand of my son,
who would be alive.
My heart is breaking into pieces
as I buy a cake he can't even eat.
How dare you?
You are smiling all you want.
Sir, that's
If I were a mere, insignificant thug,
it would have been better.
If I were a savage
who didn't care for the law or ideals
An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.
I would have ripped you into pieces
immediately.
I really didn't do it.
There's nothing I can do
even if you don't believe me.
I
didn't do it. You can accuse
me all you want,
but I can't admit
to what I never did, sir.
Prove it then!
If you are not the real culprit,
bring me the real culprit.
Until then, you're the culprit.
To me, you are the only culprit.
This is the alibi of Jung Hyeon-su.
He said he could have seen him,
but he was not certain.
The bar owner didn't help,
but I found this.
MAY 20TH: BIRTHDAY
The birthday photo
on the day of the incident.
This completely backs up
what Jung Hyeon-su told us, doesn't it?
However, it won't be considered evidence
that could prove his alibi.
This gives us grounds
that we can trust him.
I scored one today.
I'm relieved.
This won't be a major bruise.
It's all right, Bong-hui.
Yes?
What happened?
This is nothing.
It's okay. You can tell me.
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay.
Will you be okay?
Okay.
All right, then.
I'll make copies of evidence files
including footprints
and the DNA in the buttons.
By the way, the witness
is a senior citizen.
Does the witness have good eyesight?
Gosh.
Ms. Lack-of-evidence,
bring me a cup of water.
Then we should get rid of the witness.
I have to find out more
about the assailant.
Since I have other cases,
I can't help out a lot,
but I will help whenever I can.
Hey, Ms. Lack-of-evidence?
-Ms. Eun, a pen, please?
-Yes, sir.
You can't hear only
when I'm talking to you, right?
She has selective hearing.
Darn!
I'll get some water.
Can the witness identify
the suspect at this distance?
It might be possible
if the witness knew the suspect.
One more time. Let's do it again.
The witness claimed
that she knew the restaurants,
neighbors, and residents
in that neighborhood.
Why was she staring at
someone else's house?
It's because she's lonely.
When we are lonely,
we look at other people.
We look to see what others are doing
or if others are not lonely.
Can you see me?
One more time?
Something is off,
but I can't put a finger on it.
We are tracing the stolen items now.
Something might turn up.
Why would the robber stab the victim
so many times?
Oh, you're right.
The murder weapon hasn't been found yet?
No.
You don't have to visit me
every single time.
I'm thankful and sorry, Ms. Eun.
Don't be.
Excuse me.
Yes, Mr. Noh.
Yes, I'm in an interview.
I don't know anything.
-Okay.
-Thank you.
We can't find anything useful
from this place either?
Excuse me. Could we have a talk?
Oh, no. Your looks didn't work.
I didn't use my looks just now.
By the way, where did we park the car?
We parked it somewhere in some alley.
But this is an alley too.
Exactly.
We'll eventually find it around here.
Hey.
She's hopeless.
-Where are we?
-I think we're going in circles.
The alleys here all look alike.
-Exactly.
-Why open a restaurant here?
It's a trend to open a restaurant
in places like this.
Really?
-It's raining.
-It's suddenly raining.
Let's go over there.
My gosh, why is it raining
all of a sudden?
I washed my hair this morning.
People normally wash their hair
in the morning.
It's nothing special.
Really?
Yes.
Let's go.
It's still raining a little.
This isn't too bad.
We need to prepare for trial. Let's go.
Ms. Cha.
Ms. Cha.
I have to go to trial.
Okay, I'll go too.
I can go by myself.
I'm a pretty decent prosecutor.
I can be eloquent.
You should stay here and rest.
No, it's okay. I want to go too.
Do you think Jung Hyeon-su
Let's go, Ms. Eun.
COURT IN SESSION
DEFENSE COUNSEL
At 7:30 p.m. on May 20, 2017,
the defendant, Jung Hyeon-su,
secretly entered the victim's house
to commit burglary.
After cruelly murdering the victim
with a sharp weapon,
he stole the victim's belongings.
Hence, I accuse the defendant,
Jung Hyeon-su, of murder and theft
under Article 338 of the Criminal Code.
Lawyer, do you admit to the charges?
The defendant does not
admit to the charges.
The defendant has no reason
or motive to kill the victim.
A murder by a robber
does not require
a specific reason or motive.
You're right.
However, there must be a premise.
The major premise is
that the defendant committed robbery.
We found at the crime scene
a belonging had gone missing.
You're right. Something did go missing.
But there is also no proof that
the missing object was stolen
by the defendant.
The prosecution
has yet failed to track down
those missing objects.
The missing objects
were nowhere to be found
in the defendants' house nor workplace.
Also, when we checked
his bank account and cash,
we could not find
any kind of monetary benefit
from robbery.
Are you claiming
that there was never a thief
to begin with?
Yes, Your Honor.
Let me show you this, Your Honor.
In order for a murder by a robber
to be valid,
one first needs to be proven
guilty of robbery.
Also, one needs to have
committed murder
at the chance of robbery itself.
Therefore, the prosecution's charge
against the defendant
based on Article 338 of the Criminal Code
is not valid because
the defendant never tried to
commit robbery.
There is also no specific
evidence to prove
that the defendant committed murder.
Therefore, the defendant
also can't be accused of murder.
That is all, Your Honor.
PROSECUTOR
If we keep this up until the second trial
and successfully impeach the witness,
we'll win the case,
and Jung Hyeon-su will get released.
Mr. Noh?
Yu-jeong.
Ji-uk.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I don't think you should drive right now.
I can handle it.
No, I'll drive.
Get in.
I know this is going to sound immature,
but I sometimes envy girls who get sick.
My mom gave birth to such a healthy girl,
so I rarely get sick.
You don't need to laugh.
Bye.
I'll get going now.
Shouldn't you go to the hospital?
It's okay. I'll get better
after taking a fever reducer and sleep.
You know me. I always feel better
after sweating it out.
All right, then.
You should come in.
Just come in for a cup of tea, okay?
Let's not do this.
I loved you too much.
That's why your love for me
never felt enough.
I was always thirsty for more.
I felt like I was always the anxious one
in the relationship.
But after you left
After we broke up,
I realized it still had to be you.
Even if it meant dying of such thirst,
I wanted to be by your side, Ji-uk.
It's looks pretty well-organized.
Gosh, why isn't he back yet?
I thought you might not come home.
I like you.
I
like you, Mr. Noh.
Don't
fall for me.
Not everything that has started
progresses into something else.
Some things stop as soon as they begin
because every beginning is frightening.
