The Price of Confession (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

1
Are you sure
I can say it here?
"My life
is over now."
"So let's not get any funny ideas
and face the end with humility."
I was beating myself up with those words.
Ms. An, are you okay?
Ms. An.
Be careful.
- What is it?
- What's going on?
Coming through!
Coming through!
Were you hinting at suicide earlier?
Why did you say that?
You've shown no remorse until now.
Are you finally sorry?
- A comment, please!
- A few words, please!
- Are you
- Why
Where did that come from?
Let me say just one thing to her.
I really hope you keep your word
about what you said in court.
You'd better
keep it.
Don't worry,
Se-hun's grandfather.
JINKANG HIGH SCHOOL
Hang on. Let me reload.
Okay.
Damn, they keep coming.
How much HP do you have?
I think I need the ammo pack.
Where are the sentries?
Why did you deploy them there?
Jeez, man!
No, I'll go downstairs.
You cover upstairs.
Watch out. Behind you. I said watch out!
Why the hell did you deploy
the sentries there?
Get the one throwing first.
They're coming all at once.
Back me up. They're coming!
No, wait! For fuck's sake!
Hurry up and revive me.
Just fucking revive me!
Fucking hell.
- See you.
- Bye.
I'm only showing you this,
Mr. Jin, because it's you.
But what will you do with it?
Sir.
- Weren't there two broken wine bottles?
- Yes.
What if the bottle
Ms. An's fingerprints are on
was not the bottle used for the murder?
UNDETECTED
DETECTED
Did you check if the victim's blood
and her prints were on the same bottle?
No.
Why not?
The prosecution never requested it.
What if we request it?
Didn't the killer confess?
So why are you coming to me--
The thing is, the killer
is a bit emotionally unstable.
I need hard evidence
that my client didn't do it.
Then I suggest you make a formal request.
The prosecution will deny it anyway.
Well, I guess that's that, then.
Huh?
Listen, Mr. Jin.
Let's have dinner together tonight.
It's on me.
Given the circumstances,
the court granted leniency.
Thank you.
- There's no need to thank me.
- Thanks.
But they added a condition.
"There will be no further leniency."
"If you break the law one more time,
your bail will be revoked."
"No exceptions, under any circumstances."
Now, here.
LOCATION TRACKING
(AN YUN-SU GPS LOG)
Do you know what this is?
No.
It's your GPS log.
Your location
is recorded every hour, every day.
If something happens at the same time
and place as you,
you'll be the first person
to be suspected.
So you cannot get involved in any trouble.
Even if something happens in front of you,
just ignore it and walk away.
If it's something you can't avoid,
call the control center right away.
If you do that, you can at least
avoid the worst-case scenario.
Okay, then. Shall we start the session?
How have you been lately?
You seem to have been keeping very busy,
aside from sending Sop to kindergarten.
Would it be okay if I didn't talk today?
I don't really have much to say.
Would you be okay
with me reporting to the court as is?
Yes.
You'll still have to stay here
until five o'clock.
Shall we listen to the radio?
So it's not awkward.
Many stories have made their way
to the Your Afternoon message board.
I will share a few
- I think it goes here.
- Yes.
Done.
So this was "just an introduction"?
I truly respect and appreciate you
for doing this.
Right. I respect you too, Mr. Jang.
That's a bit random.
You've got grit.
I appreciate it.
By the way,
how was Ms. An at the trial the other day?
Did she say anything?
Like what?
Mo Eun hinted at suicide,
saying she didn't have much time.
She seemed very anxious.
So much so that she was
completely out of it in court.
What does she think of Mo Eun?
What do you mean?
She's someone who killed her husband
but also cleared her name.
It's hard to say.
I'm not really sure how she feels.
But like I said before,
she was always anxious
when we talked about Mo Eun.
Time drags, doesn't it?
Gosh.
Maybe my baby is into old music.
Ta-da's kicking.
Oh, that's my baby's nickname.
It showed up late in our lives,
like "ta-da"!
Time's up.
- Next time, let's have tteokbokki--
- See you next time.
Get home safe.
Man, this is tough.

Yeah.
- You'll have some too, right?
- Yes.
I didn't know you'd be this happy,
and I just left like that.
No, not at all. Don't say that.
This looks so good.
Oh my God!
Oh no.
- I'm so sorry.
- I'll quickly wash it.
- It'll be fine.
- Are there any tissues?
- I'll be right back.
- I'm sorry.
No worries.

Hey.
Where the fuck did she go?
Damn, she's quick.
What the hell?
Fuck.
Fuck.
Fucking hell.
Ms. Eom told me to stay glued to you.
Fuck. It's not like I want to, okay?
Let's take a break.
What was that?
So you said you'd kill yourself?
In goddamn court, no less.
Why the hell would you say something
like that in court? For fuck's sake.
And fucking Eom is overreacting right now,
making me follow you.
I'm yet to fucking see with my own eyes
a bitch who said she'd kill herself
actually fucking do it.
Lying bitches.
But you, hon?
You might actually do it.
But make sure you do it on your own.
Don't drag anyone innocent down with you.
Promise me.
I'll try.
Shit, don't look at me like that.
It's goddamn creepy, hon.
You're scary as hell.
Where the hell are you going?
To the toilet.
Do I have to follow her
to the fucking bathroom too?
You're going to come in too?
I don't want to either,
but you're under
special supervision orders.
Aren't you scared to
be alone with me?
I'm not even cuffed.
I'm not going to kill myself yet,
so just wait here and chill.
You fucking bitch! You're dead meat!
Come here, you fucking bitch!
Fucking hell!
Fuck you!
Go fuck yourself!
- Move!
- Break it up!
All officers to the auditorium!
All officers to the auditorium!
You bitch!
Shut up!
Hey, you little shit.
Hey, be quiet!
Hey.
So getting out tomorrow means
I don't exist now?
You want to be drinking through a straw,
clutching your chin, do you?
You little shit.
Damn, look at this bitch.
You bitch!
Where's Inmate 407?
In the toilet.
Where's Inmate 407?
I fucking told you she went to the toilet!
Are you fucking deaf? Fucking hell.
I'm not following someone to the toilet
For fuck's sake.
Look at this little shit.
Trying to be clever now, are we?
Huh?
Damn.
Get up.
I said get up!
Damn it.
Hey, you fucker!
Hey, I think this is for real.
Man, what's up with her?
Hey!
Dumbass.
- Dumbass.
- Shit.
Hey! Get up!
Fuck. Hey! Wake up!
Wake up!
Wake up!
- Man, this is fucked.
- Hey.
- Damn it.
- Wake up!
Fucking hell.
All I did was press on her neck.
Wake up, goddamn it.
- Hey!
- Shit.
Wake up!
What the hell are you doing?
What the fuck!
Let go, you fucking bitch!
- Don't! You're going to kill her!
- Hey!
- Shit!
- Inmate 407.
What the hell are you doing? Hey!
- Inmate 407, stop.
- Stop it!
Don't! Stop it!
Excuse me!
She's awake!
Eun's awake!
I told Ms. Eom everything.
I told her you saved my life.
The doctor said if it weren't for you,
I really would have died.
Eun, thank you so much.
Can you please get off me?
I got the wrong idea.
You were beating someone
lying on the floor.
She absolutely made the right call.
She has a very thick layer
of subcutaneous fat,
so resuscitating her
with standard chest compressions is hard.
Look straight ahead.
Do you feel dizzy or uncomfortable?
Well, can you
That's not really my call.
No.
Ms. Eom, HQ is calling for you.
Can I take both of them back?
You can take her.
But she sustained a head injury,
so I'll keep her here a bit longer.
Here, a painkiller and antiemetic.
I'll just take this.
By the way, what was your job
before coming here?
Well, I heard about what you did earlier.
You went right for chest compressions
without mouth-to-mouth.
It's in the latest guidelines
from the cardiology society.
You also picked out
the painkiller just then.
I feel like you were in this line of work.
Were you a nurse?
Or a med student?
Don't you scare easily?
Sorry?
Do you always
talk this much?
I used to get scared easily,
but I got over it after starting this job.
And I've always been talkative.
You found something the police missed.
It looks like a woman's watch.
Actually, Mo Eun has a watch.
I remember thinking at her trial
that her watch didn't suit her.
She must be very fond of it
to have worn it to trial.
I have a feeling
this could be a huge lead.
Hello, Mr. Jang.
Why? What favor do you need this time?
My back still feels stiff.
Yes.
Are you sure about that?
Ms. Eom must have felt bad.
She even let me bring in coffee.
Aren't you going to drink that?
You can have it.
What?
Doesn't it suit me?
Yes, it does.
Seems precious to you.
It is.
Before I got here,
I was on a call with Ms. An's attorney.
He asked
if I could ask for your watch
and bring it to him.
Blood stains were discovered
at the crime scene,
and there was a mark left by a watch.
They want to see if it's mine, don't they?
Yun-su's been busy
since she got out, hasn't she?
Don't you need a warrant to take this?
Yes, if you follow procedure.
Would the prosecution issue one?
That's why he called me.
He wanted me to talk to you.
Just so you know,
if your lawyer finds anything
that proves I'm not the killer,
you'll be the one ending up
in a tight spot.
Everyone thinks I killed your husband.
But if there's evidence
that proves otherwise
you'll be the evil woman
who made a deal with a psychopath.
But
what if they don't find Mo Eun's DNA,
and the watch isn't hers either?
Why would you think that?
Mo Eun is the real killer.
It'd obviously be hers.
I LET YOU OUT,
AND THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING?
NOW'S NOT THE TIME TO PLAY DETECTIVE
WITH YOUR LAWYER
I WARNED YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE TIME.
DON'T GET ANY FUNNY IDEAS.
SHOULD I JUST EXPOSE EVERYTHING?
WHAT KIND OF DEAL WE MADE,
AND HOW TOXIC WE ARE TO THE WORLD?
What happens
if Mo Eun retracts her confession?
I know you're feeling anxious, but--
I am anxious!
She might change her mind.
My life depends on what she says.
I told you already.
We've found a new lead.
Even if Mo Eun retracts her confession,
we can still win this trial.
Can't we?
Actually, all we have
is her confession
that she's the real killer.
If my client retracts her confession,
I can't guarantee what will happen.
Mr. Jin.
I'm sorry,
but I'm Ms. Mo's attorney after all.
If the watch or the DNA isn't proven
to be my client's,
I'll have to claim her innocence.
So what if she takes back her words?
Is anyone going to believe her?
The public probably won't,
but the judge might.
Her confession did start the trial.
Wait, Mr. Jin. What are you--
Yes, I know. I am aware, but
something felt different
when I saw her yesterday.
Well, she is an unpredictable person.
What did she say?
Please tell me everything she said.
Please tell Yun-su
that I just had a change of mind.
That's all.
SOP'S KINDERGARTEN TEACHER MS. LEE
Hello, Ms. Lee.
Oh, Ms. An.
I'm so sorry.
I was just on my way out with the kids.
- But Sop
- Oh no.
- I'll go this way.
- Okay.
We're looking for a missing child
named Lee Sop, age six.
If you have seen or are with
a child in pigtails
wearing an orange kindergarten uniform,
please contact
the nearest information desk.
Oh, Sop
Excuse me,
have you seen a girl about this tall
We repeat.
Ms. An.
Any sign of her?
we're looking for a missing child
named Lee Sop, age six.
What should I do?
if you've seen her, please contact
the nearest information desk.
Sop!
Sop!
Sop!
- I'm sorry.
- Are you okay?
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
Excuse me.
Where is she?
She's over there.
Mommy!
Where were you?
Mommy's been looking all over for you.
Did you forget about me
because you were eating something yummy?
Ma'am, this lady brought her here.
Oh, right.
Thank you.
- Hello.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Nice to meet you, Yun-su.
You know me?
Mo Eun told me
you're too busy
to take good care of your daughter.
She said you shouldn't get any funny ideas
and just focus on your daughter.
Mo Eun said
she's worried you might be getting soft.
Excuse me.
Sop!
I should get going now. Take care.
- Bye, Sop.
- No, don't say anything, Sop.
Don't.
Excuse me.
Just a moment, ma'am.
Thank you so much.
Are you the one who brought her here?
Yes.
Did you also buy that hairband
and those clothes for her?
Please give me a call.
Let me make it up to you.
No, it's okay.
I was just told to entertain her
for a bit.
You were told? By whom?
Who told you to entertain her?
That's enough.
She still found Sop,
which I'm grateful for.
Please just let her go.
But don't you think it's a little strange?
Who told you to entertain Sop?
Who was it? Hang on.
- I'll find out once the police arrive.
- No!
You can't call the police.
You know I don't want people
talking about me anymore.
But
Thank you. You can go now.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Ms. Lee.
Sop, let's go home.
Come on.
Sop, let's go.
We expect rain along with yellow dust.
It will last from tonight
through the weekend
into the early hours
of the day after tomorrow.
In the central regions,
we expect strong winds and heavy rain,
so please exercise caution.
We expect 20 to 30 mm hourly downpours
in the capital area
and western area of Gangwon Province.
Please take necessary precautions
against road flooding and landslides.
In the southern regions,
air quality may worsen
due to the yellow dust.
Moreover, this rain is likely to persist
for an extended period.
Please prepare for possible flooding
in lowlands and potential damage to crops.
I'm Lee Su-jin with your
You're just staying one night.
Wishing you a safe and peaceful day.
I'll have it all sorted
by then.
Hello, it's An Yun-su speaking.
I fell pretty hard while riding my bike,
and I think my ankle monitor broke.
It keeps beeping. What should I do?
Okay.
Okay, keep calm. Slow and steady.
Hold on. I need to reload.
Hey, from behind!
That's it.
Hey, hold on a sec.
Who is it?
I'm here for the gas inspection.
We left a notice,
but you never got back to us.
But no one lives here now.
But you're home now.
If you don't get it inspected now,
others will step in, complicating matters.
I don't want to work in this rain either.
Doors closing.
Oh, my socks got soaked.
Will it take long?
No, I'll make it quick.
Where's the gas valve?
Okay, that's it.
Let's go. I'll take the right side.
Here they come. Let's go.
I'll take the left.
Hey, they're coming!
Nice one.
I'm going in.
Okay, follow me.
- Okay.
- Stabbing the neck is the easiest.
All right.
That's where the carotid artery is.
- Stab there, and you'll get him for sure.
- Wait, let's do it together.
Are you done?
We've met before.
In the elevator.
Damn it!
What the hell?
Damn it!
Fucking hell.
Damn it.
Fuck.
You crazy fucking bitch!
Die!
Please don't kill me.
Die.
You must die for us to live.
Please don't kill me.
Don't kill me.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
Consider this divine punishment.
