(Jang Jae Gyeong)
(Oh Chi Hyun)
Are you Jang Jae Gyeong?
Yes.
Is everything
on your police report true?
Did you witness it yourself?
(Park Jun Seo)
Jun Seo.
You saw it. You should tell him.
Your report says
Park Jun Seo witnessed it on-site.
Is that true?
Did you really witness it?
I didn't witness anything.
- Jun Seo.
- I
didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything
That's not true.
Don't lie.
I didn't witness anything.
Don't lie
That's not true.
I didn't witness anything.
Jun Seo.
(Connection)
(Monday, February 26, 2024)
(Episode 2)
Do you have any footage
of his whereabouts after the incident?
After he disappeared from the hallway,
he wasn't caught on camera.
(Captain Jang Jae Gyeong)
The phone is turned off.
Transferring to voicemail.
You will be charged.
- Please check that separately.
- All right.
Do it fast.
Is he really from the police?
Yes, he is.
Did you try contacting him?
What did he say?
It seems like he's unable
to talk on the phone right now.
I apologize.
What do you mean?
He disturbed the emergency room.
It's a major offense
to cause disturbance around patients.
On top of that, he's a detective.
Is the case closed
if you can't get in touch with him?
Please calm down.
I need to check what happened
before I can update you.
That's not right.
Are you protecting him
because you're also a detective?
We can't let him get away with it.
Look. I got hurt because he pushed me.
I'm sorry.
I'll check and update you.
I appreciate your patience.
He looked like he was addicted to drugs.
When you work in the emergency,
you see overdosed patients
from time to time.
His symptoms resembled them.
His breathing was unstable,
and his face was pale.
In my opinion, that detective
Was that why you drew blood from me?
I never consented to drawing blood,
and there wasn't a warrant
to approve it either.
There were no injection marks on my arm.
Doctor Lee Young Woo.
Why did you decide to take my blood?
That's because people under the influence
of drugs come into the ER,
and it's common for us to take blood
with consent before the police come
so they can be locked up.
They can get the warrant later on.
That's none of my business.
Which department are you with?
You don't look like an intern.
Are you a resident? Which year?
Why do you ask?
Is this a narcotics case?
From what I saw
The symptoms you listed.
Are they proof to conclude
that this is a narcotics case?
Other than the experience
of your short stint as an ER doctor,
do you have objective proof?
I don't, but
Why did you destroy
your blood that we'd taken?
Why wouldn't I?
It was my blood
taken without my consent.
It's illegal for you to run
all those tests on them.
- But
- Detective Kim.
He says he thinks I'm on drugs.
I was on the drug squad
for over ten years
and it must've made me a druggie.
I'm Inspector Jang Jae Gyeong
of Anhyeon Police Station's
Narcotics Unit.
I'm not a drug addict.
I'm an inspector who catches them.
I felt dreadful earlier
because I had acute indigestion,
and you took my blood
without my consent, so
I did that because I was angry, okay?
- I hurt you?
- Yes.
I'm very sorry.
Okay.
Bye, then.
Get a copy of the CCTV footage
- and send it to us.
- Okay.
See if there's a clip of him
coming into the ER.
Yes, sir.
(Inoculation Process)
Do you feel better now?
Yes. I'm fine.
Did you look up the number I gave you?
It was a burner phone.
- Did you track it?
- It was turned off.
I checked its last location
before it was turned off.
A call was made while on the move.
The red hair-clip woman
Did you get the facial composite?
Her statement is inconsistent.
What about the face of the guy I chased?
We don't have that yet.
I'll send it to you when we do.
Why did you act like that in the ER?
I told you.
It was because they'd taken my blood
without my consent.
You'd made a proper mess.
I'm glad you talked your way out.
It could've been really bad.
I don't think you were here
because you felt ill.
Why did you come here?
You don't need to know.
Don't overdo it.
I'll say you went home
because you felt unwell.
Get some rest.
The door is opening.
The door is opening.
The door is closing.
The door is closing.
Nurse Lee. Can I have a word?
Yes.
(Ward 31)
Captain.
I need to talk to him.
Go and get a soda.
Well
Okay, then.
(Jang Chul Gu)
You wanted to see me.
Who, me?
As if I'd want to see your mug.
How do you know Park Jun Seo?
Park Jun Seo?
Yes. I get it.
You'll never walk properly again.
You must've been angry.
Did you want revenge?
You've seen this before, right?
No.
What are you on about?
What revenge?
Who did you send to do it?
Why?
Is someone harassing you?
Gosh, I'm grateful for that.
I'd love to get back at you
if only I could.
But this right here.
Will you do something about it?
Then
I'll show you.
Why did you kill Park Jun Seo?
I guess that punk is dead.
I wonder who Park Jun Seo is.
How interesting.
Jang Jae Gyeong
came over out of the blue
to ask me about him?
Do you have a thing for guys?
You should've said so, then.
If I'd known your taste,
we wouldn't be in this situation now.
Oh, come on. What the heck?
What are you up to?
Hey.
I don't know that name.
Hey!
Captain Jang, I don't know him!
Hey, police! You punks!
Do something about him!
Hey, police! You outside!
Come in and stop him!
Don't move.
One wrong move
and you'll eat through a tube forever.
No.
It wasn't me!
Did you send the text
about the Jeonghoon Station delivery?
Or did you make Park Jun Seo send it?
Or did you make someone else send it?
Who was it? Give me a name.
It wasn't me.
I've never heard that name before.
I know you killed Park Jun Seo.
It wasn't me!
I said I'd never heard that name!
You did it.
You put everyone up to it.
This is your last warning.
One.
- Two.
- No!
No! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
I said it wasn't me, punk.
If it wasn't you, who was it?
Give me a name.
I don't know.
That drug!
I heard about that drug.
Who's distributing it?
CEO Yoon.
CEO Yoon?
Is he the Doctor?
I don't know that.
Does CEO Yoon distribute only?
Does he make it too?
He's just a distributor of this and that.
He brings in and sells
whatever makes him money.
Where can I go to meet him?
I don't know.
I really don't know. I swear!
I don't know!
He only distributes online.
I don't know his face or address.
He might be CEO Yoon today.
But tomorrow
he could be CEO Kim or CEO Lee.
No one knows!
What about Park Jun Seo?
I really have never
heard that name before.
I would
kill you before anyone.
Why would I kill someone like that?
Jin Wook.
You should go into hiding
instead of doing this.
What if the Doctor set this up
to hand us over to the police
so he could deal directly with CEO Yoon?
Come on, Jin Wook.
It's been a while, CEO Yoon.
You must not be
all that glad to see me.
What about the drugs?
I'm sure you've already heard,
but the supply of raw materials
isn't very smooth.
I think I might need some more time.
Mr. Gong Jin Wook?
CEO Yoon.
You know very well
that if we make contact first,
the deal with the Doctor is over.
Why not wait a little longer
while you're already waiting?
It's not like there is
a drug that can replace
Lemon Mulberry at the moment.
Can I trust that you're still making
direct deals with the Doctor?
Seeing how
the Doctor isn't making
direct deals with you,
wouldn't that mean
he's still willing to do business with me?
The wire is too short. I'll switch it.
Okay.
- I'll finish things up.
- Okay.
What are your plans from now on?
I'll get things ready by this week.
Let's make it tomorrow at midnight.
If you go past midnight,
I'll also stop dealing Lemon Mulberry
and focus on going around to catch people.
And I'll make a reservation
for this room under both of your names.
Please save me!
Go ahead.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Wasn't the Doctor going to
let go of that guy
and deal with us directly?
That was the condition for us abducting
Jang Jae Gyeong and drugging him.
What kind of grudge does the Doctor have
against Jang Jae Gyeong?
Where should I drop you off
near Anhyun City Hall Station?
Oh, right.
Yes, just up there, please.
(Anhyun City Hall)
If you had gotten here late last night,
you would've been spotted
while we did our nightly patrols.
You most likely came here
in the morning
when the first trains operated.
Let's watch the footage from that time.
Okay.
We can't zoom in any closer.
Please show me the footage
from near the elevators.
Okay.
Both of them are around 180cm in height.
Weight, over 80kg.
All right. Let me see.
What are they looking at?
Door 3-4.
Hang on.
Can we see this scene
caught on another camera?
Is there a camera from another angle?
One second.
This is all we have.
(Anhyun City Hall Station
CCTV Control Center)
Please give me a copy of these files.
Okay.
(Anhyeon Police Station,
Jang Jae Gyeong)
- Please send it to this email here.
- All right.
(Jeonghoon Station)
Those guys knew that there would be
a drug toss
at Door 3-4 of Jeonghoon Station.
Also, they hoped I'd get on the train
at that spot.
That means, they wanted me to arrest
the guy in the baseball cap.
Who is CEO Yoon, and who is the Doctor?
Is the guy in the baseball cap CEO Yoon?
Are they using me to get rid of
a competing gang?
The guy who sent this message
hoping I'd show up at platform 3-4.
Also, the guy who abducted me
and drugged me.
Those two
are one person.
Then
One, eight, eight, two.
Jae Gyeong.
Our SOS. Do you remember it?
One, eight, eight, two.
But
Park Jun Seo is dead.
(Crime scene photos)
(At the time of case closure)
Did you find a suicide note
or anything else?
No, all we found were his shoes
on the ninth floor.
If it's a construction site,
don't they work on Saturdays too?
Why was he only found on Monday?
Well, they couldn't work on the weekend
because of complaints.
They haven't done an autopsy yet, right?
Actually, they have.
I was surprised too,
but the autopsy is already done.
I believe he's in the morgue
at Anhyun University Hospital now.
Who was the prosecutor
who ordered the autopsy?
One second.
It's Prosecutor Park Tae Jin.
He's the deputy chief prosecutor of
Criminal Division One.
What was the cause of death?
As you can see,
he fell from the ninth floor.
There is no way
he wouldn't be a total mess.
(Prosecutor Park Tae Jin)
Yes, Prosecutor Park.
Oh, yes. Is that right?
Then, you can just handle it that way.
Okay.
Well, but
The deceased, Park Jun Seo
and Jang Jae Gyeong,
an inspector at our station
It turns out that
those two were friends from high school.
Didn't you say you graduated from
Jeogang High School as well?
I believe you'd be around the same age.
What?
Captain Jang.
Well, you should go now.
I'll leave once I check a few more things.
- So
- Come on!
Honestly speaking, it's not like
we're in a situation
where we have to explain everything.
Since the victim was your friend,
we gave you this much. Isn't that enough?
Get going now. That's enough.
Hey, you! Grab him!
- Jang Jae Gyeong!
- Captain Jang!
You punk!
- Captain Jang!
- Out of the way.
Jang Jae Gyeong. Open up!
Open up, you crazy jerk!
Do you think
I'll let you get away with this?
(Oh Chi Hyun, Park Tae Jin, Won Jong Soo)
The estimated time of death is
between 11:30 p.m.
and 12:00 a.m. last Friday.
Open up before I knock this down!
- Give it back now. Captain!
- Open up.
- Gosh, what do you think you're doing?
- Open up.
Captain Jang!
(Oh Yoon Jin)
Darn it!
Hey.
Get out here, you jerk!
You crazy jerk.
Do you think I'm being funny?
That crazy jerk.
You're here.
(Oh Chi Hyun, Park Tae Jin, Won Jong Soo)
It looks like you took your pill.
Chang Soo.
Do you remember the number
I asked you to check earlier?
- The burner phone.
- Yes?
I'll buy time,
so track its location right now.
Okay.
Who are you?
Hello. I need you to urgently track
the location of 010-0325-1533.
Don't hang up.
- Please check now and tell me.
- Guess?
(How do you know)
How do you know about 1882?
(- Guess?
- How do you know about 1882?)
Because it's me.
(Park Jun Seo)
Park Jun Seo died.
I never said I was Park Jun Seo.
So where are you going to go next?
To Park Jun Seo's funeral?
Or maybe to catch that guy
you lost at the subway station?
(Or maybe to catch that guy
you lost at the subway station?)
(What's)
What's the connection
between Park Jun Seo and the drug?
(What's the connection
between Park Jun Seo and the drug?)
Why did you drug me?
Got anything?
You'll find out sooner or later.
It'd make more sense to go
to the funeral if you're a good friend.
Have a good one.
Well?
They were moving while using the phone.
They were heading from Anhyun Stream
to Jungji-dong.
"Jungji-dong?"
The postmortem examination
was already done.
He must be in the morgue
of Anhyun University Hospital.
Anhyun University Hospital.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
(Park Jun Seo)
He was handed over.
What?
He was handed over to his family
about an hour ago.
Without an autopsy?
Yes. The prosecutor said
they received the family's consent.
They didn't want an autopsy
and decided to proceed with the funeral.
Which prosecutor conducted
the postmortem examination?
Prosecutor Park Tae Jin.
He's the deputy chief prosecutor
of Criminal Division One.
Okay.
(Sunghan Bank)
Please check your balance
and select the service you want.
(Continue)
Checking your card information.
Please select the service you want.
Darn it.
(100 dollars)
You startled me. Hey, Jang Jae Gyeong.
(Oh Yoon Jin)
What did you talk about with Park Jun Seo
on February 22?
What?
Don't you remember?
You spoke with him on the phone
on Thursday, February 22.
I'm asking what you talked about
with Jun Seo the day before he died.
(Missed call: Park Jun Seo)
Yoon Jin.
I missed a call from him,
and then I forgot to call him back.
You forgot?
A friend you never talk to calls you
and you forget to call him back?
It can happen.
Also, I'm not like you
who cut ties with people.
I wouldn't say we kept in close touch,
but Jun Seo and I talked on the phone
every month or two.
I mean it.
Hey.
Are you here to offer condolences
or interrogate?
I heard Jun Seo took his own life.
I'm already upset as it is.
And now you suddenly show up
and make a fuss.
(Late Park Jun Seo,
Spouse: Choi Ji Yeon)
Please retrieve your card.
What is this?
- Thank you for using our service.
- I have to do it all over?
(Rest in peace)
(Room 1)
Are you here to offer condolences?
Yes.
No one is around right now.
They're over there.
(Observation Room)
Hey, where are you going?
- What is this?
- Stop.
What are you doing?
Who do you think you are
to behave this way?
I'm a detective. Please let me go.
"A detective?"
Hey, it's Jae Gyeong.
Jang Jae Gyeong.
"Jang Jae Gyeong?"
Please stop with the shrouding.
We'll perform an autopsy.
We need to conduct an autopsy.
Several things are suspicious
about Jun Seo's death.
Please give your consent for an autopsy.
Hey, Jang Jae Gyeong.
Who are you to order an autopsy?
Who do you think you are? Come here.
Park Jun Seo's estimated time of death
is between 11:30 p.m.
and 12:00 a.m. on February 23.
He fell from a construction site
in Pilo-dong
which led to a fractured skull
and damaged organs.
- Jae Gyeong.
- This is the strange part.
Jun Seo's shoes were found
on the ninth floor which was assumed
to be where he jumped.
But the elevator on-site wasn't
on the ninth floor, but the first.
What's so strange about that?
Jong Soo.
It's you, Jae Gyeong.
Long time no see.
It's me, Won Jong Soo.
Won Jong Soo at 10:10 p.m.
Has it been a while for you too?
Yes.
It has been 20 years
since our high school days.
I'm Tae Jin.
You remember me, don't you?
Last year, I joined the criminal division
of Anhyun's district prosecutor's office.
- We're finally meeting.
- Park Tae Jin at 10:18 p.m.
I guess people are bound to meet
if they're alive.
Oh Chi Hyun at 10:30 p.m.
Why did you perform
the postmortem examination?
What?
I had the time.
A deputy chief prosecutor had the time?
Are you sure it wasn't because
it was Park Jun Seo?
These days, even deputy chief prosecutors
must go when they're told.
By the way,
is it strange for a prosecutor
to go for a postmortem examination?
Fine. Let's forget about that.
What did you think during the examination?
Jang Jae Gyeong.
I said, what did you think?
Let's stop.
This is not the place for it.
What made you conclude it was a suicide?
Tae Jin is telling you to stop!
Yoon Ho.
We're sending our friend away.
Do you need to make such a fuss?
Did you find any footprints
on the stairway to the ninth floor?
I was told no footprints
on the construction site stairs matched
the shoes Jun Seo was wearing.
What made you think
it was a suicide despite that?
Because the circumstances say so.
"Circumstances?"
Jun Seo's daughter, Yoon Hee.
When she passed away
after he cared for her for six years,
he was broken.
He couldn't do anything.
Every day was torture for him.
He even went to a psychiatrist
to treat his depression.
That's enough, okay?
You must be doing this
because you don't know his situation.
We're just as upset as you are.
He left in such a dire way.
There's no reason to cut him up.
Let's finish shrouding.
We can talk outside after.
Please continue.
Okay, everyone out.
Don't move!
Hey, Jang Jae Gyeong.
Hey.
You guys are a joke.
Didn't Jun Seo tell you
why he wanted to commit suicide
before he jumped?
Are you really convinced it was suicide
based on the circumstances?
Think about it.
You're all talking about circumstances,
but why won't any of you
mention the most important thing?
Well?
The people Jun Seo talked to
before he died.
Won Jong Soo.
Park Tae Jin.
Oh Chi Hyun.
The suspected time of suicide
is between 11:30 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.
He talked to you three after 10:10 p.m.
If Jun Seo really took his life,
what would he have said?
Wouldn't something have sounded off?
When I asked earlier
why you were so sure he'd killed himself,
the first thing you'd have said
was that he had called you.
Why are you all trying to hide that?
Hey!
What's your problem?
Why are you suddenly trying to be a cop?
Jeong Yoon Ho.
Stop it.
Why does that even matter right now?
Do you think there's something special
about Jun Seo calling us?
We
We talked to each other
over ten times a day!
You got kicked out of school
trying to stab your friends in the back.
I can't believe you became a cop
only to act like you're invincible.
It's not "we."
- What?
- He didn't call you.
What? Do you feel left out?
Darn you.
Hey.
Jeong Yoon Ho.
Someone could've drugged Jun Seo
and pushed him.
Even if that were not the case,
deaths like this require
an autopsy 100 percent.
Why won't you do it?
Why are you trying to rush the funeral
without an autopsy?
Did Jun Seo say something on the phone?
What did he say that you're all like this?
Yes. He called.
I didn't know
he'd called Tae Jin or Chi Hyun.
He just asked how I was doing.
Since Yoon Hee's death,
he'd sounded so frail and glum,
and he did that night too.
I asked if I should buy him some tonic
and told him to stay strong, that's all.
To me, that was the last chat
with my friend Park Jun Seo.
I wanted to keep it to myself.
So I didn't mention it, okay?
Does that make sense?
Don't you think it's weird?
That one hour before taking his life,
Jun Seo called each of you
to ask how you were?
Who asked whom how they were doing?
Park Tae Jin, Oh Chi Hyun.
Did Jun Seo call you to catch up too?
Jang Jae Gyeong.
Get a grip.
Hey!
Be quiet! Please!
Stop it, all of you.
What are you doing
next to your friend's dead body?
Do you still call yourselves his friend?
Jun Seo
didn't call me.
Whether it was to say hi or catch up,
you all got a call at least!
I didn't even get that!
(Vault 1, Park Jun Seo, February 26, 2024)
Do you have to do that
to make yourself feel better?
What do you mean?
Goodness.
I don't even know
why I'm sitting here with you.
They're the Major Leaguers.
My pathetic life's always in the Minors.
Come this way.
What is it?
You'll barge in there for round two?
I must get her to agree to an autopsy.
Hey.
Those guys practically lived together
with Jun Seo for the last 20 years.
Look at them with the armbands.
They're practically family.
Darn it.
There's something you don't know.
The reason Jun Seo's daughter
lasted six years.
It was because Jong Soo
sent five grand a month
for medicine and treatments.
Do you think that's a small sum?
So don't even mention
an autopsy in front of them.
To be honest, I'm against it too.
He'll meet his daughter
when he crosses over.
If you were him,
would you want to show up
with a Y-cut on your chest?
The guy who punched me
was Jeong Yoon Ho, right?
Yes. Next to him is Kang Si Jung.
The class decorator.
- Do you remember?
- No.
You wouldn't.
Yoon Ho and Si Jung are married.
They started dating in college.
On his other side is Jeong Sang Eui.
You remember him, right?
You wouldn't know anyone.
I guess
you stayed in touch with them.
No. I didn't see them often.
I talk to Si Jung sometimes.
The others, I haven't seen in a while.
I don't go to the reunions.
Do you think so too?
That Jun Seo killed himself
over the pain of losing his daughter?
I think it's possible.
Now that I'm a mom,
I don't think I could live
if my kid died first.
- Move over.
- Okay.
Jong Soo. Sit over here.
- Hey.
- Sit here.
- Jong Soo.
- Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Hey, this isn't working.
I should be over there.
That's where I belong.
I just dropped off a flower arrangement.
Leave it outside, then.
Can you sign for it?
Darn it.
Okay.
It's from Joo Song.
(Signed for by: Oh Yoon Jin)
(From Twostar Holdings, Heo Joo Song)
What is "Twostar?"
Is he a division commander?
He'll cling to and bother me
if he shows up.
Shoot.
- Hey.
- Long time no see.
Jong Soo, it has been so long.
Hey.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Could you consider
- doing the autopsy
- Are you going somewhere?
Yes.
I'm going home to get some stuff.
I left in a daze and hurry earlier.
How will go get there?
I'll take a taxi and make a quick trip.
I'll drive you.
You shouldn't take a taxi today.
I didn't drink.
It's fine.
Well, we all have a reason
to want to leave.
If you see Heo Joo Song, tell him I left.
I'm not in the mood
to put up with his excitement.
Let's go.
(Ten dollars)
(March 2004)
Hey, Judo guy.
The teacher wants to see you
in the office.
Are you adjusting to the new class?
Is anything hard
since you started 11th grade?
- No.
- I see.
Your father is
Education Officer Jang Tae Jung, isn't he?
Right?
The reason
why you were assigned to my class
since starting the 11th grade
was because Education Officer Jang
has become your new father.
You know that, don't you?
Right?
Also,
everyone is dying to join Class Six,
you know?
You know that very well too, don't you?
Let's get along.
- Good.
- Sir.
- Yes?
- I've gathered the student support fund.
Everyone paid, right?
- Not yet.
- Who is it?
Everyone paid except for him.
Hey, you should've explained to him well.
He doesn't know
because it's his first time here.
In order to help students in need
continue their studies,
everyone in the class volunteered.
They volunteered to collect these funds.
You don't have to pay
if you don't want to.
You should collect money
like you're supposed to.
Sorry, sir.
All right.
Good.
All right. Get going.
Yes, sir.
Today,
your school's principal
and homeroom teacher came to see me.
You've never once called me Father,
but I guess you said
that I was your father at school.
There's a kid in your class
named Won Jong Soo.
Be good friends with him.
Buy your friends some food too.
In order to help students in need
continue their studies,
everyone in the class volunteered.
It's the class president.
He's suspended.
(Class 3-6, Park Jun Seo,
suspended for 1 week)
A week is a bit harsh.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
Among you,
someone
sent an anonymous letter
to the superintendent's office.
The student support fund
that you voluntarily collected
is an act of bribery.
I guess that's what the letter said.
I won't make it long.
Now,
we won't be collecting
the student support fund anymore.
Also, to take responsibility
for this incident,
the class president has been suspended
for a week.
(Reduce food waste and increase recycling)
(Park Jun Seo)
Do you have to do this too
when you get suspended?
Here.
Did you come to apologize or something?
Did you think one anonymous letter
would get your stepfather fired
as an Education Officer
and our homeroom teacher out of a job?
Did you expect that kind of happy ending?
What will happen to you now?
Is it hard for you to attend school
without the student support fund?
Hey, that student support fund
wasn't even that much money.
It's enough for me
to watch out for Jong Soo.
Having to mind all the other kids
just because I received that fund
wasn't fun for me either.
I'm rather glad.
You shouldn't mind it either.
Anyway,
sorry.
I didn't know
things would end up like this.
Worry about your own future.
You must've been prepared
when you made things this bad.
Our homeroom teacher and Jong Soo
seemed to have their eyes set on you.
Will you be okay?
I'm off.
I'm rather glad too.
I'm a psycho who got a friend suspended.
Now, everyone knows that.
I doubt anyone would say anything to me
just because
I don't tiptoe around somebody.
Crazy punk.
You seriously must be crazy.
(Anhyun University Hospital,
Funeral Home)
This was a will written
by Mr. Park Jun Seo himself.
A will?
Excuse me.
Jae Gyeong, is that you?
I'm Joo Song. Heo Joo Song.
- Hey.
- What on earth happened to Jun Seo?
Hey, Chi Hyun.
Right.
Let's say our goodbyes.
I'll be back soon.
No, take your time.
(Visitors, please check in
at the security office.)
Goodness. She already went up.
Who?
Yoon Hee's mother just went up, right?
Yes.
- Why?
- But there must've been a funeral.
I thought I saw her
wearing mourning clothes.
Oh, yes.
Yoon Hee's dad.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, it happened.
My goodness.
By the way, what's this?
Oh, this?
It's a registered mail that arrived
a few days ago.
I haven't delivered it to them yet.
Gosh, I think it was for Yoon Hee's dad.
She'll be back down soon, right?
Yes.
Goodness, gracious.
You can just give it to me.
She's
pretty out of it right now.
I'll hand it to her.
Well, but still
I'm Yoon Hee's dad,
Park Jun Seo's friend.
I see.
All right, then. I'll leave this to you.
(Anhyun University Hospital, Park Jun Seo)
It hasn't been very long
since Yoon Hee passed away like that too.
My goodness.
May he rest in peace.
Oh, right.
Well, then.
Goodness.
(Jungho Life, Park Jun Seo)
One, eight, eight, two.
(- How do you know 1882?
- I know because it's me.)
One, eight, eight, two.
Shall I serve you your meal?
Yes, please.
Hey, didn't Yoon Jin come?
No.
She was here,
but she took Jun Seo's wife home
to grab some stuff.
What's with your face?
Thank you.
You look pale.
I'm having digestive problems.
Do you still like
Yoon Jin?
Yes.
As a friend.
- "As a friend?"
- Yes, as a friend.
By the way,
since when did Yoon Jin become
so materialistic?
I can't go into the details
since it's her privacy.
You knew she used to work
for Daehan Daily, right?
- Did she?
- Yes.
She was new in the field,
but she received recognition.
But you know what she's like.
She didn't edit her story
like she was told
and just published it,
so she had to quit her job.
The following year,
she married a Korean guy from Canada
who worked at a stock firm
and had her daughter Ye Eun.
And?
Maybe two years or so
after Ye Eun was born, they divorced.
Her ex-husband took their daughter
to Canada.
But the problem is,
this jerk
doesn't seem to be earning any money.
He seems to be living off
of the child support
Yoon Jin sends every month.
- Why?
- How should I know?
Anyway,
Yoon Jin would do anything
if it was for Ye Eun.
I think she knows what's going on,
but she's still trying to make more money
to send over.
But you and I both know
how much local reporters make.
Jae Gyeong, hey
Didn't Jun Seo come visit you recently?
- He did, right?
- How did you know that?
I guess he did.
What did he say?
Did he say anything in particular?
Like what? What do you know?
I'm telling you this because it's you.
It's really uncomfortable to be here.
Why is that?
About a week ago,
Jun Seo came to see me.
He wanted to sign up for a life insurance.
Just a minute.
Next week Wednesday?
Sure. I'll see you then.
One medical billing insurance
and one cancer insurance.
Thank you.
Bye.
Let's see
You look busy.
What?
- Life insurance?
- Yes.
He signed up for a few other packages
with me before,
but he suddenly visited me
and signed up for three life insurance.
But, under the name of his company.
"His company?"
He told me he founded a company.
Darn him. He left in just a week.
Wait.
He can't get any insurance money
if it's a suicide, right?
Right.
I told him
he wouldn't get any payment
if he committed suicide within two years.
But
this is where it gets really strange.
After signing up for the insurance,
he asked me to see a lawyer with him.
- "A lawyer?"
- Yes.
Please give me your attention
for a moment.
On behalf of Jun Seo's family,
I want to thank all of you
for seeing Jun Seo off.
Before
Jun Seo died,
he left a will.
On February 16, 2024,
which was a week before Jun Seo's death,
he met with CEO Heo Joo Song
from Twostar Holdings
to sign up for life insurance
with Jungho Life, Heungin Life,
and Jangsoo Life for amounts
1 million, 2 million, and 2 million
for a total of five million dollars
under the name
of his fully-owned corporation,
Audio File.
(Anhyun University Hospital, Park Jun Seo)
Darn it.
What is this?
"The insured: Park Jun Seo"
"Beneficiary"
(Beneficiary: Audio File)
"Audio File?"
Wait
(Amount insured: Two million dollars)
"Two million dollars?"
(Beneficiary: Audio File, Park Jun Seo)
"Audio File?"
(Beneficiary: Audio File, Park Jun Seo)
(Law Firm Ohjung)
And
on this will,
he indicated the legatee
of his company's full shares
and the beneficiary
of the five million dollars.
(Law Firm Ohjung)
(Notarized document)
"I, Park Jun Seo who holds 100 percent"
"of the corporation, Audio File,
will transfer all of the shares"
"to Jang Jae Gyeong"
(Will)
(Jang Jae Gyeong, Oh Yoon Jin, Lee)
"and Oh Yoon Jin"
"in equally divided portions."
What is this?
(Connection)
The students' creed.
One.
Be someone who performs one's duty.
Two.
Be true to one's goal.
Three.
Be a helping hand to a friend.
All right. Come in.
They're our new transfer students.
Let's welcome them with applause.
(Park Jun Seo)
Go ahead and say hello.
Hey, I'm Oh Yoon Jin.
I hope we get along.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
I'm Heo Joo Song.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Help them adjust, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, you two.
That's our students' creed.
I'll check if you memorized them
by the end of the day,
so make sure you get them down.
All right?
Now, your seats.
Sir.
I have a question.
"Be a helping hand to a friend."
Did you come up with this one?
- What?
- I find it strange.
Do all friends have to be helpful?
Whether we're helpful
to one another or not,
you should encourage us
to get along as friends.
What?
You agree with me, don't you?
If it's okay, should I change it?
Gosh.
(Connection)
Why didn't you discuss it with me
if you knew there was a will?
So it wasn't a suicide?
Did someone kill my husband?
- It's better to perform an autopsy.
- Hey.
Too many things are suspicious.
Are you doing this
because you want the insurance money?
- Hey, Park Tae Jin.
- Don't you dare say my name.
I'm here as a prosecutor,
not as your friend.
What are you trying to hide
by going this far?
It's a clear proof of murder.
We won't last forever like this.
"Lemon Mulberry?"
It's that drug again.
You can't take me to a hospital.
How could you use drugs?
I can't do without it.
Come to your senses, Jae Gyeong!
Open the door.
Wake up, Jang Jae Gyeong!
Dramaday.me
(All characters, organizations,

(Jang Jae Gyeong)
(Oh Chi Hyun)
Are you Jang Jae Gyeong?
Yes.
Is everything
on your police report true?
Did you witness it yourself?
(Park Jun Seo)
Jun Seo.
You saw it. You should tell him.
Your report says
Park Jun Seo witnessed it on-site.
Is that true?
Did you really witness it?
I didn't witness anything.
- Jun Seo.
- I
didn't see anything.
I didn't see anything
That's not true.
Don't lie.
I didn't witness anything.
Don't lie
That's not true.
I didn't witness anything.
Jun Seo.

(Monday, February 26, 2024)
(Episode 2)
Do you have any footage
of his whereabouts after the incident?
After he disappeared from the hallway,
he wasn't caught on camera.
(Captain Jang Jae Gyeong)
The phone is turned off.
Transferring to voicemail.
You will be charged.
- Please check that separately.
- All right.
Do it fast.
Is he really from the police?
Yes, he is.
Did you try contacting him?
What did he say?
It seems like he's unable
to talk on the phone right now.
I apologize.
What do you mean?
He disturbed the emergency room.
It's a major offense
to cause disturbance around patients.
On top of that, he's a detective.
Is the case closed
if you can't get in touch with him?
Please calm down.
I need to check what happened
before I can update you.
That's not right.
Are you protecting him
because you're also a detective?
We can't let him get away with it.
Look. I got hurt because he pushed me.
I'm sorry.
I'll check and update you.
I appreciate your patience.
He looked like he was addicted to drugs.
When you work in the emergency,
you see overdosed patients
from time to time.
His symptoms resembled them.
His breathing was unstable,
and his face was pale.
In my opinion, that detective
Was that why you drew blood from me?
I never consented to drawing blood,
and there wasn't a warrant
to approve it either.
There were no injection marks on my arm.
Doctor Lee Young Woo.
Why did you decide to take my blood?
That's because people under the influence
of drugs come into the ER,
and it's common for us to take blood
with consent before the police come
so they can be locked up.
They can get the warrant later on.
That's none of my business.
Which department are you with?
You don't look like an intern.
Are you a resident? Which year?
Why do you ask?
Is this a narcotics case?
From what I saw
The symptoms you listed.
Are they proof to conclude
that this is a narcotics case?
Other than the experience
of your short stint as an ER doctor,
do you have objective proof?
I don't, but
Why did you destroy
your blood that we'd taken?
Why wouldn't I?
It was my blood
taken without my consent.
It's illegal for you to run
all those tests on them.
- But
- Detective Kim.
He says he thinks I'm on drugs.
I was on the drug squad
for over ten years
and it must've made me a druggie.
I'm Inspector Jang Jae Gyeong
of Anhyeon Police Station's
Narcotics Unit.
I'm not a drug addict.
I'm an inspector who catches them.
I felt dreadful earlier
because I had acute indigestion,
and you took my blood
without my consent, so
I did that because I was angry, okay?
- I hurt you?
- Yes.
I'm very sorry.
Okay.
Bye, then.
Get a copy of the CCTV footage
- and send it to us.
- Okay.
See if there's a clip of him
coming into the ER.
Yes, sir.
(Inoculation Process)
Do you feel better now?
Yes. I'm fine.
Did you look up the number I gave you?
It was a burner phone.
- Did you track it?
- It was turned off.
I checked its last location
before it was turned off.
A call was made while on the move.
The red hair-clip woman
Did you get the facial composite?
Her statement is inconsistent.
What about the face of the guy I chased?
We don't have that yet.
I'll send it to you when we do.
Why did you act like that in the ER?
I told you.
It was because they'd taken my blood
without my consent.
You'd made a proper mess.
I'm glad you talked your way out.
It could've been really bad.
I don't think you were here
because you felt ill.
Why did you come here?
You don't need to know.
Don't overdo it.
I'll say you went home
because you felt unwell.
Get some rest.
The door is opening.
The door is opening.
The door is closing.
The door is closing.
Nurse Lee. Can I have a word?
Yes.
(Ward 31)
Captain.
I need to talk to him.
Go and get a soda.
Well
Okay, then.
(Jang Chul Gu)
You wanted to see me.
Who, me?
As if I'd want to see your mug.
How do you know Park Jun Seo?
Park Jun Seo?
Yes. I get it.
You'll never walk properly again.
You must've been angry.
Did you want revenge?
You've seen this before, right?
No.
What are you on about?
What revenge?
Who did you send to do it?
Why?
Is someone harassing you?
Gosh, I'm grateful for that.
I'd love to get back at you
if only I could.
But this right here.
Will you do something about it?
Then
I'll show you.
Why did you kill Park Jun Seo?
I guess that punk is dead.
I wonder who Park Jun Seo is.
How interesting.
Jang Jae Gyeong
came over out of the blue
to ask me about him?
Do you have a thing for guys?
You should've said so, then.
If I'd known your taste,
we wouldn't be in this situation now.
Oh, come on. What the heck?
What are you up to?
Hey.
I don't know that name.
Hey!
Captain Jang, I don't know him!
Hey, police! You punks!
Do something about him!
Hey, police! You outside!
Come in and stop him!
Don't move.
One wrong move
and you'll eat through a tube forever.
No.
It wasn't me!
Did you send the text
about the Jeonghoon Station delivery?
Or did you make Park Jun Seo send it?
Or did you make someone else send it?
Who was it? Give me a name.
It wasn't me.
I've never heard that name before.
I know you killed Park Jun Seo.
It wasn't me!
I said I'd never heard that name!
You did it.
You put everyone up to it.
This is your last warning.
One.
- Two.
- No!
No! It wasn't me!
It wasn't me!
I said it wasn't me, punk.
If it wasn't you, who was it?
Give me a name.
I don't know.
That drug!
I heard about that drug.
Who's distributing it?
CEO Yoon.
CEO Yoon?
Is he the Doctor?
I don't know that.
Does CEO Yoon distribute only?
Does he make it too?
He's just a distributor of this and that.
He brings in and sells
whatever makes him money.
Where can I go to meet him?
I don't know.
I really don't know. I swear!
I don't know!
He only distributes online.
I don't know his face or address.
He might be CEO Yoon today.
But tomorrow
he could be CEO Kim or CEO Lee.
No one knows!
What about Park Jun Seo?
I really have never
heard that name before.
I would
kill you before anyone.
Why would I kill someone like that?
Jin Wook.
You should go into hiding
instead of doing this.
What if the Doctor set this up
to hand us over to the police
so he could deal directly with CEO Yoon?
Come on, Jin Wook.
It's been a while, CEO Yoon.
You must not be
all that glad to see me.
What about the drugs?
I'm sure you've already heard,
but the supply of raw materials
isn't very smooth.
I think I might need some more time.
Mr. Gong Jin Wook?
CEO Yoon.
You know very well
that if we make contact first,
the deal with the Doctor is over.
Why not wait a little longer
while you're already waiting?
It's not like there is
a drug that can replace
Lemon Mulberry at the moment.
Can I trust that you're still making
direct deals with the Doctor?
Seeing how
the Doctor isn't making
direct deals with you,
wouldn't that mean
he's still willing to do business with me?
The wire is too short. I'll switch it.
Okay.
- I'll finish things up.
- Okay.
What are your plans from now on?
I'll get things ready by this week.
Let's make it tomorrow at midnight.
If you go past midnight,
I'll also stop dealing Lemon Mulberry
and focus on going around to catch people.
And I'll make a reservation
for this room under both of your names.
Please save me!
Go ahead.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Wasn't the Doctor going to
let go of that guy
and deal with us directly?
That was the condition for us abducting
Jang Jae Gyeong and drugging him.
What kind of grudge does the Doctor have
against Jang Jae Gyeong?
Where should I drop you off
near Anhyun City Hall Station?
Oh, right.
Yes, just up there, please.
(Anhyun City Hall)
If you had gotten here late last night,
you would've been spotted
while we did our nightly patrols.
You most likely came here
in the morning
when the first trains operated.
Let's watch the footage from that time.
Okay.
We can't zoom in any closer.
Please show me the footage
from near the elevators.
Okay.
Both of them are around 180cm in height.
Weight, over 80kg.
All right. Let me see.
What are they looking at?
Door 3-4.
Hang on.
Can we see this scene
caught on another camera?
Is there a camera from another angle?
One second.
This is all we have.
(Anhyun City Hall Station
CCTV Control Center)
Please give me a copy of these files.
Okay.
(Anhyeon Police Station,
Jang Jae Gyeong)
- Please send it to this email here.
- All right.
(Jeonghoon Station)
Those guys knew that there would be
a drug toss
at Door 3-4 of Jeonghoon Station.
Also, they hoped I'd get on the train
at that spot.
That means, they wanted me to arrest
the guy in the baseball cap.
Who is CEO Yoon, and who is the Doctor?
Is the guy in the baseball cap CEO Yoon?
Are they using me to get rid of
a competing gang?
The guy who sent this message
hoping I'd show up at platform 3-4.
Also, the guy who abducted me
and drugged me.
Those two
are one person.
Then
One, eight, eight, two.
Jae Gyeong.
Our SOS. Do you remember it?
One, eight, eight, two.
But
Park Jun Seo is dead.
(Crime scene photos)
(At the time of case closure)
Did you find a suicide note
or anything else?
No, all we found were his shoes
on the ninth floor.
If it's a construction site,
don't they work on Saturdays too?
Why was he only found on Monday?
Well, they couldn't work on the weekend
because of complaints.
They haven't done an autopsy yet, right?
Actually, they have.
I was surprised too,
but the autopsy is already done.
I believe he's in the morgue
at Anhyun University Hospital now.
Who was the prosecutor
who ordered the autopsy?
One second.
It's Prosecutor Park Tae Jin.
He's the deputy chief prosecutor of
Criminal Division One.
What was the cause of death?
As you can see,
he fell from the ninth floor.
There is no way
he wouldn't be a total mess.
(Prosecutor Park Tae Jin)
Yes, Prosecutor Park.
Oh, yes. Is that right?
Then, you can just handle it that way.
Okay.
Well, but
The deceased, Park Jun Seo
and Jang Jae Gyeong,
an inspector at our station
It turns out that
those two were friends from high school.
Didn't you say you graduated from
Jeogang High School as well?
I believe you'd be around the same age.
What?
Captain Jang.
Well, you should go now.
I'll leave once I check a few more things.
- So
- Come on!
Honestly speaking, it's not like
we're in a situation
where we have to explain everything.
Since the victim was your friend,
we gave you this much. Isn't that enough?
Get going now. That's enough.
Hey, you! Grab him!
- Jang Jae Gyeong!
- Captain Jang!
You punk!
- Captain Jang!
- Out of the way.
Jang Jae Gyeong. Open up!
Open up, you crazy jerk!
Do you think
I'll let you get away with this?
(Oh Chi Hyun, Park Tae Jin, Won Jong Soo)
The estimated time of death is
between 11:30 p.m.
and 12:00 a.m. last Friday.
Open up before I knock this down!
- Give it back now. Captain!
- Open up.
- Gosh, what do you think you're doing?
- Open up.
Captain Jang!
(Oh Yoon Jin)
Darn it!
Hey.
Get out here, you jerk!
You crazy jerk.
Do you think I'm being funny?
That crazy jerk.
You're here.
(Oh Chi Hyun, Park Tae Jin, Won Jong Soo)
It looks like you took your pill.
Chang Soo.
Do you remember the number
I asked you to check earlier?
- The burner phone.
- Yes?
I'll buy time,
so track its location right now.
Okay.
Who are you?
Hello. I need you to urgently track
the location of 010-0325-1533.
Don't hang up.
- Please check now and tell me.
- Guess?
(How do you know)
How do you know about 1882?
(- Guess?
- How do you know about 1882?)
Because it's me.
(Park Jun Seo)
Park Jun Seo died.
I never said I was Park Jun Seo.
So where are you going to go next?
To Park Jun Seo's funeral?
Or maybe to catch that guy
you lost at the subway station?
(Or maybe to catch that guy
you lost at the subway station?)
(What's)
What's the connection
between Park Jun Seo and the drug?
(What's the connection
between Park Jun Seo and the drug?)
Why did you drug me?
Got anything?
You'll find out sooner or later.
It'd make more sense to go
to the funeral if you're a good friend.
Have a good one.
Well?
They were moving while using the phone.
They were heading from Anhyun Stream
to Jungji-dong.
"Jungji-dong?"
The postmortem examination
was already done.
He must be in the morgue
of Anhyun University Hospital.
Anhyun University Hospital.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
(Park Jun Seo)
He was handed over.
What?
He was handed over to his family
about an hour ago.
Without an autopsy?
Yes. The prosecutor said
they received the family's consent.
They didn't want an autopsy
and decided to proceed with the funeral.
Which prosecutor conducted
the postmortem examination?
Prosecutor Park Tae Jin.
He's the deputy chief prosecutor
of Criminal Division One.
Okay.

(Oh Yoon Jin)
What did you talk about with Park Jun Seo
on February 22?
What?
Don't you remember?
You spoke with him on the phone
on Thursday, February 22.
I'm asking what you talked about
with Jun Seo the day before he died.
(Missed call: Park Jun Seo)
Yoon Jin.
I missed a call from him,
and then I forgot to call him back.
You forgot?
A friend you never talk to calls you
and you forget to call him back?
It can happen.
Also, I'm not like you
who cut ties with people.
I wouldn't say we kept in close touch,
but Jun Seo and I talked on the phone
every month or two.
I mean it.
Hey.
Are you here to offer condolences
or interrogate?
I heard Jun Seo took his own life.
I'm already upset as it is.
And now you suddenly show up
and make a fuss.
(Late Park Jun Seo,
Spouse: Choi Ji Yeon)
Please retrieve your card.
What is this?
- Thank you for using our service.
- I have to do it all over?
(Rest in peace)

Are you here to offer condolences?
Yes.
No one is around right now.
They're over there.
(Observation Room)
Hey, where are you going?
- What is this?
- Stop.
What are you doing?
Who do you think you are
to behave this way?
I'm a detective. Please let me go.
"A detective?"
Hey, it's Jae Gyeong.
Jang Jae Gyeong.
"Jang Jae Gyeong?"
Please stop with the shrouding.
We'll perform an autopsy.
We need to conduct an autopsy.
Several things are suspicious
about Jun Seo's death.
Please give your consent for an autopsy.
Hey, Jang Jae Gyeong.
Who are you to order an autopsy?
Who do you think you are? Come here.
Park Jun Seo's estimated time of death
is between 11:30 p.m.
and 12:00 a.m. on February 23.
He fell from a construction site
in Pilo-dong
which led to a fractured skull
and damaged organs.
- Jae Gyeong.
- This is the strange part.
Jun Seo's shoes were found
on the ninth floor which was assumed
to be where he jumped.
But the elevator on-site wasn't
on the ninth floor, but the first.
What's so strange about that?
Jong Soo.
It's you, Jae Gyeong.
Long time no see.
It's me, Won Jong Soo.
Won Jong Soo at 10:10 p.m.
Has it been a while for you too?
Yes.
It has been 20 years
since our high school days.
I'm Tae Jin.
You remember me, don't you?
Last year, I joined the criminal division
of Anhyun's district prosecutor's office.
- We're finally meeting.
- Park Tae Jin at 10:18 p.m.
I guess people are bound to meet
if they're alive.
Oh Chi Hyun at 10:30 p.m.
Why did you perform
the postmortem examination?
What?
I had the time.
A deputy chief prosecutor had the time?
Are you sure it wasn't because
it was Park Jun Seo?
These days, even deputy chief prosecutors
must go when they're told.
By the way,
is it strange for a prosecutor
to go for a postmortem examination?
Fine. Let's forget about that.
What did you think during the examination?
Jang Jae Gyeong.
I said, what did you think?
Let's stop.
This is not the place for it.
What made you conclude it was a suicide?
Tae Jin is telling you to stop!
Yoon Ho.
We're sending our friend away.
Do you need to make such a fuss?
Did you find any footprints
on the stairway to the ninth floor?
I was told no footprints
on the construction site stairs matched
the shoes Jun Seo was wearing.
What made you think
it was a suicide despite that?
Because the circumstances say so.
"Circumstances?"
Jun Seo's daughter, Yoon Hee.
When she passed away
after he cared for her for six years,
he was broken.
He couldn't do anything.
Every day was torture for him.
He even went to a psychiatrist
to treat his depression.
That's enough, okay?
You must be doing this
because you don't know his situation.
We're just as upset as you are.
He left in such a dire way.
There's no reason to cut him up.
Let's finish shrouding.
We can talk outside after.
Please continue.
Okay, everyone out.
Don't move!
Hey, Jang Jae Gyeong.
Hey.
You guys are a joke.
Didn't Jun Seo tell you
why he wanted to commit suicide
before he jumped?
Are you really convinced it was suicide
based on the circumstances?
Think about it.
You're all talking about circumstances,
but why won't any of you
mention the most important thing?
Well?
The people Jun Seo talked to
before he died.
Won Jong Soo.
Park Tae Jin.
Oh Chi Hyun.
The suspected time of suicide
is between 11:30 p.m. and 12:00 a.m.
He talked to you three after 10:10 p.m.
If Jun Seo really took his life,
what would he have said?
Wouldn't something have sounded off?
When I asked earlier
why you were so sure he'd killed himself,
the first thing you'd have said
was that he had called you.
Why are you all trying to hide that?
Hey!
What's your problem?
Why are you suddenly trying to be a cop?
Jeong Yoon Ho.
Stop it.
Why does that even matter right now?
Do you think there's something special
about Jun Seo calling us?
We
We talked to each other
over ten times a day!
You got kicked out of school
trying to stab your friends in the back.
I can't believe you became a cop
only to act like you're invincible.
It's not "we."
- What?
- He didn't call you.
What? Do you feel left out?
Darn you.
Hey.
Jeong Yoon Ho.
Someone could've drugged Jun Seo
and pushed him.
Even if that were not the case,
deaths like this require
an autopsy 100 percent.
Why won't you do it?
Why are you trying to rush the funeral
without an autopsy?
Did Jun Seo say something on the phone?
What did he say that you're all like this?
Yes. He called.
I didn't know
he'd called Tae Jin or Chi Hyun.
He just asked how I was doing.
Since Yoon Hee's death,
he'd sounded so frail and glum,
and he did that night too.
I asked if I should buy him some tonic
and told him to stay strong, that's all.
To me, that was the last chat
with my friend Park Jun Seo.
I wanted to keep it to myself.
So I didn't mention it, okay?
Does that make sense?
Don't you think it's weird?
That one hour before taking his life,
Jun Seo called each of you
to ask how you were?
Who asked whom how they were doing?
Park Tae Jin, Oh Chi Hyun.
Did Jun Seo call you to catch up too?
Jang Jae Gyeong.
Get a grip.
Hey!
Be quiet! Please!
Stop it, all of you.
What are you doing
next to your friend's dead body?
Do you still call yourselves his friend?
Jun Seo
didn't call me.
Whether it was to say hi or catch up,
you all got a call at least!
I didn't even get that!
(Vault 1, Park Jun Seo, February 26, 2024)
Do you have to do that
to make yourself feel better?
What do you mean?
Goodness.
I don't even know
why I'm sitting here with you.
They're the Major Leaguers.
My pathetic life's always in the Minors.
Come this way.
What is it?
You'll barge in there for round two?
I must get her to agree to an autopsy.
Hey.
Those guys practically lived together
with Jun Seo for the last 20 years.
Look at them with the armbands.
They're practically family.
Darn it.
There's something you don't know.
The reason Jun Seo's daughter
lasted six years.
It was because Jong Soo
sent five grand a month
for medicine and treatments.
Do you think that's a small sum?
So don't even mention
an autopsy in front of them.
To be honest, I'm against it too.
He'll meet his daughter
when he crosses over.
If you were him,
would you want to show up
with a Y-cut on your chest?
The guy who punched me
was Jeong Yoon Ho, right?
Yes. Next to him is Kang Si Jung.
The class decorator.
- Do you remember?
- No.
You wouldn't.
Yoon Ho and Si Jung are married.
They started dating in college.
On his other side is Jeong Sang Eui.
You remember him, right?
You wouldn't know anyone.
I guess
you stayed in touch with them.
No. I didn't see them often.
I talk to Si Jung sometimes.
The others, I haven't seen in a while.
I don't go to the reunions.
Do you think so too?
That Jun Seo killed himself
over the pain of losing his daughter?
I think it's possible.
Now that I'm a mom,
I don't think I could live
if my kid died first.
- Move over.
- Okay.
Jong Soo. Sit over here.
- Hey.
- Sit here.
- Jong Soo.
- Hi.
Thanks for coming.
Hey, this isn't working.
I should be over there.
That's where I belong.
I just dropped off a flower arrangement.
Leave it outside, then.
Can you sign for it?
Darn it.
Okay.
It's from Joo Song.
(Signed for by: Oh Yoon Jin)
(From Twostar Holdings, Heo Joo Song)
What is "Twostar?"
Is he a division commander?
He'll cling to and bother me
if he shows up.
Shoot.
- Hey.
- Long time no see.
Jong Soo, it has been so long.
Hey.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Could you consider
- doing the autopsy
- Are you going somewhere?
Yes.
I'm going home to get some stuff.
I left in a daze and hurry earlier.
How will go get there?
I'll take a taxi and make a quick trip.
I'll drive you.
You shouldn't take a taxi today.
I didn't drink.
It's fine.
Well, we all have a reason
to want to leave.
If you see Heo Joo Song, tell him I left.
I'm not in the mood
to put up with his excitement.
Let's go.
(Ten dollars)
(March 2004)
Hey, Judo guy.
The teacher wants to see you
in the office.
Are you adjusting to the new class?
Is anything hard
since you started 11th grade?
- No.
- I see.
Your father is
Education Officer Jang Tae Jung, isn't he?
Right?
The reason
why you were assigned to my class
since starting the 11th grade
was because Education Officer Jang
has become your new father.
You know that, don't you?
Right?
Also,
everyone is dying to join Class Six,
you know?
You know that very well too, don't you?
Let's get along.
- Good.
- Sir.
- Yes?
- I've gathered the student support fund.
Everyone paid, right?
- Not yet.
- Who is it?
Everyone paid except for him.
Hey, you should've explained to him well.
He doesn't know
because it's his first time here.
In order to help students in need
continue their studies,
everyone in the class volunteered.
They volunteered to collect these funds.
You don't have to pay
if you don't want to.
You should collect money
like you're supposed to.
Sorry, sir.
All right.
Good.
All right. Get going.
Yes, sir.
Today,
your school's principal
and homeroom teacher came to see me.
You've never once called me Father,
but I guess you said
that I was your father at school.
There's a kid in your class
named Won Jong Soo.
Be good friends with him.
Buy your friends some food too.
In order to help students in need
continue their studies,
everyone in the class volunteered.
It's the class president.
He's suspended.
(Class 3-6, Park Jun Seo,
suspended for 1 week)
A week is a bit harsh.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
Among you,
someone
sent an anonymous letter
to the superintendent's office.
The student support fund
that you voluntarily collected
is an act of bribery.
I guess that's what the letter said.
I won't make it long.
Now,
we won't be collecting
the student support fund anymore.
Also, to take responsibility
for this incident,
the class president has been suspended
for a week.
(Reduce food waste and increase recycling)
(Park Jun Seo)
Do you have to do this too
when you get suspended?
Here.
Did you come to apologize or something?
Did you think one anonymous letter
would get your stepfather fired
as an Education Officer
and our homeroom teacher out of a job?
Did you expect that kind of happy ending?
What will happen to you now?
Is it hard for you to attend school
without the student support fund?
Hey, that student support fund
wasn't even that much money.
It's enough for me
to watch out for Jong Soo.
Having to mind all the other kids
just because I received that fund
wasn't fun for me either.
I'm rather glad.
You shouldn't mind it either.
Anyway,
sorry.
I didn't know
things would end up like this.
Worry about your own future.
You must've been prepared
when you made things this bad.
Our homeroom teacher and Jong Soo
seemed to have their eyes set on you.
Will you be okay?
I'm off.
I'm rather glad too.
I'm a psycho who got a friend suspended.
Now, everyone knows that.
I doubt anyone would say anything to me
just because
I don't tiptoe around somebody.
Crazy punk.
You seriously must be crazy.
(Anhyun University Hospital,
Funeral Home)
This was a will written
by Mr. Park Jun Seo himself.
A will?
Excuse me.
Jae Gyeong, is that you?
I'm Joo Song. Heo Joo Song.
- Hey.
- What on earth happened to Jun Seo?
Hey, Chi Hyun.
Right.
Let's say our goodbyes.
I'll be back soon.
No, take your time.
(Visitors, please check in
at the security office.)
Goodness. She already went up.
Who?
Yoon Hee's mother just went up, right?
Yes.
- Why?
- But there must've been a funeral.
I thought I saw her
wearing mourning clothes.
Oh, yes.
Yoon Hee's dad.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, it happened.
My goodness.
By the way, what's this?
Oh, this?
It's a registered mail that arrived
a few days ago.
I haven't delivered it to them yet.
Gosh, I think it was for Yoon Hee's dad.
She'll be back down soon, right?
Yes.
Goodness, gracious.
You can just give it to me.
She's
pretty out of it right now.
I'll hand it to her.
Well, but still
I'm Yoon Hee's dad,
Park Jun Seo's friend.
I see.
All right, then. I'll leave this to you.
(Anhyun University Hospital, Park Jun Seo)
It hasn't been very long
since Yoon Hee passed away like that too.
My goodness.
May he rest in peace.
Oh, right.
Well, then.
Goodness.
(Jungho Life, Park Jun Seo)
One, eight, eight, two.
(- How do you know 1882?
- I know because it's me.)
One, eight, eight, two.
Shall I serve you your meal?
Yes, please.
Hey, didn't Yoon Jin come?
No.
She was here,
but she took Jun Seo's wife home
to grab some stuff.
What's with your face?
Thank you.
You look pale.
I'm having digestive problems.
Do you still like
Yoon Jin?
Yes.
As a friend.
- "As a friend?"
- Yes, as a friend.
By the way,
since when did Yoon Jin become
so materialistic?
I can't go into the details
since it's her privacy.
You knew she used to work
for Daehan Daily, right?
- Did she?
- Yes.
She was new in the field,
but she received recognition.
But you know what she's like.
She didn't edit her story
like she was told
and just published it,
so she had to quit her job.
The following year,
she married a Korean guy from Canada
who worked at a stock firm
and had her daughter Ye Eun.
And?
Maybe two years or so
after Ye Eun was born, they divorced.
Her ex-husband took their daughter
to Canada.
But the problem is,
this jerk
doesn't seem to be earning any money.
He seems to be living off
of the child support
Yoon Jin sends every month.
- Why?
- How should I know?
Anyway,
Yoon Jin would do anything
if it was for Ye Eun.
I think she knows what's going on,
but she's still trying to make more money
to send over.
But you and I both know
how much local reporters make.
Jae Gyeong, hey
Didn't Jun Seo come visit you recently?
- He did, right?
- How did you know that?
I guess he did.
What did he say?
Did he say anything in particular?
Like what? What do you know?
I'm telling you this because it's you.
It's really uncomfortable to be here.
Why is that?
About a week ago,
Jun Seo came to see me.
He wanted to sign up for a life insurance.
Just a minute.
Next week Wednesday?
Sure. I'll see you then.
One medical billing insurance
and one cancer insurance.
Thank you.
Bye.
Let's see
You look busy.
What?
- Life insurance?
- Yes.
He signed up for a few other packages
with me before,
but he suddenly visited me
and signed up for three life insurance.
But, under the name of his company.
"His company?"
He told me he founded a company.
Darn him. He left in just a week.
Wait.
He can't get any insurance money
if it's a suicide, right?
Right.
I told him
he wouldn't get any payment
if he committed suicide within two years.
But
this is where it gets really strange.
After signing up for the insurance,
he asked me to see a lawyer with him.
- "A lawyer?"
- Yes.
Please give me your attention
for a moment.
On behalf of Jun Seo's family,
I want to thank all of you
for seeing Jun Seo off.
Before
Jun Seo died,
he left a will.
On February 16, 2024,
which was a week before Jun Seo's death,
he met with CEO Heo Joo Song
from Twostar Holdings
to sign up for life insurance
with Jungho Life, Heungin Life,
and Jangsoo Life for amounts
1 million, 2 million, and 2 million
for a total of five million dollars
under the name
of his fully-owned corporation,
Audio File.
(Anhyun University Hospital, Park Jun Seo)
Darn it.
What is this?
"The insured: Park Jun Seo"
"Beneficiary"
(Beneficiary: Audio File)
"Audio File?"
Wait
(Amount insured: Two million dollars)
"Two million dollars?"
(Beneficiary: Audio File, Park Jun Seo)
"Audio File?"
(Beneficiary: Audio File, Park Jun Seo)
(Law Firm Ohjung)
And
on this will,
he indicated the legatee
of his company's full shares
and the beneficiary
of the five million dollars.
(Law Firm Ohjung)
(Notarized document)
"I, Park Jun Seo who holds 100 percent"
"of the corporation, Audio File,
will transfer all of the shares"
"to Jang Jae Gyeong"
(Will)
(Jang Jae Gyeong, Oh Yoon Jin, Lee)
"and Oh Yoon Jin"
"in equally divided portions."
What is this?
(Connection)
The students' creed.
One.
Be someone who performs one's duty.
Two.
Be true to one's goal.
Three.
Be a helping hand to a friend.
All right. Come in.
They're our new transfer students.
Let's welcome them with applause.
(Park Jun Seo)
Go ahead and say hello.
Hey, I'm Oh Yoon Jin.
I hope we get along.
(Jang Jae Gyeong)
I'm Heo Joo Song.
I look forward to getting to know you.
Help them adjust, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Okay, you two.
That's our students' creed.
I'll check if you memorized them
by the end of the day,
so make sure you get them down.
All right?
Now, your seats.
Sir.
I have a question.
"Be a helping hand to a friend."
Did you come up with this one?
- What?
- I find it strange.
Do all friends have to be helpful?
Whether we're helpful
to one another or not,
you should encourage us
to get along as friends.
What?
You agree with me, don't you?
If it's okay, should I change it?
Gosh.
(Connection)
Why didn't you discuss it with me
if you knew there was a will?
So it wasn't a suicide?
Did someone kill my husband?
- It's better to perform an autopsy.
- Hey.
Too many things are suspicious.
Are you doing this
because you want the insurance money?
- Hey, Park Tae Jin.
- Don't you dare say my name.
I'm here as a prosecutor,
not as your friend.
What are you trying to hide
by going this far?
It's a clear proof of murder.
We won't last forever like this.
"Lemon Mulberry?"
It's that drug again.
You can't take me to a hospital.
How could you use drugs?
I can't do without it.
Come to your senses, Jae Gyeong!
Open the door.
Wake up, Jang Jae Gyeong!
