- I found you.
- Please don't kill me.
Please let me go.
Darn you!
This is an arrest warrant for Cha Min Ho.
- Move.
- Make way!
Cha Min Ho.
I'm Cha Seon Ho.
I'm Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo of Seoul Central District.
This is an arrest warrant for Cha Min Ho.
- Please cooperate.
- Let's go upstairs.
Let's go.
Where is Vice President Cha Min Ho now?
We will find him out no matter what.
That scumbag.
The prosecution came to the office. Go turn yourself in.
It'd be 15 years in prison. 15 years!
We have no choice.
Choice? I have a choice.
You are my brother, aren't you?
You can do this for me as my brother.
Honey, this is bad. Min Ho is
Min Ho
Yeon Hee. You're right.
It's me, Min Ho.
- I can't believe this.
- I'm sure you can't.
Are you talking about him killing someone or jumping off?
The patient has come to.
Min Ho.
Talk to me.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Yes. He smelled strongly of alcohol.
There was no alcohol found in his blood.
The last person he met was President Cha Seon Ho.
Nice to meet you. I'm Cha Seon Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
What? Repeat that.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
(INNOCENT DEFENDANT)
(EPISODE 2)
Mr. Cha Min Ho is pronounced dead.
On September 17th, at 1pm
Hang on.
First, let me make sure of a few things.
Pardon?
There are procedures required.
We need an autopsy to see
if it was a suicide or not.
What do you mean?
You know he left a suicide note.
We have no choice. He was a suspect in a murder case.
Don't you need his family's consent for that?
It's like killing him twice. I just can't do that.
Detective.
- Yes?
- Please file a writ of autopsy.
Okay.
The chairman has arrived.
Cha Min Ho.
Father.
- Please
- Is it true
that he's dead?
Yes.
Okay, then.
Pardon?
It's a good thing
for Chamyung Group
and for you.
Just think that he's gone with everything upon him.
You two are brothers of the same blood,
but he is not like you.
Let's just pretend he didn't exist.
Forget about the whole thing.
Okay.
Keep up your spirits
and get things done well.
Everyone
is watching us now.
Okay.
Let's just pretend he didn't exist.
Min Ho.
What took you so long? I was waiting for you.
You look worn with care. What's wrong?
Ma'am.
He's Mr. Cha Seon Ho.
No, he's Min Ho. Am I right?
That's right. You are Min Ho.
Why would I not recognize him? I'm his mother.
Yes, I am, Mom.
Min Ho, what took you so long?
I missed you so much.
Why
didn't you come sooner?
Her symptoms are getting worse these days.
Please don't tell her. She will be shocked.
Okay.
Ma'am, let's go.
(VIP WARD)
Where is Seon Ho?
Why isn't he coming?
How far does he know?
Is that
A warrant will be issued soon.
How far is he going with this?
I've lost a son.
I can't lose
the other one, too.
Do you want me to analyze the cause of death?
External injuries
are from a fall.
(CHA MIN HO)
Please identify the body first.
Sorry? Isn't he the man who was on the news?
His family is here, too.
I will do that.
Wait.
His fingertips are ruined.
We can't identify the body with fingerprints.
We will need a DNA test.
Fortunately, we have his medical records.
No.
Identical twins have the same DNA, right?
That's right. What should we do, then?
Identify him with fingerprints.
I just told you. His fingerprints are ruined.
Then we can get Mr. Cha Seon Ho's fingerprints.
What do you mean?
It will work the other way around.
If Mr. Cha Seon Ho is identified, the body will be identified, too.
Am I asking for too much, President Cha Seon Ho?
If that's how you want it.
The result will be out tomorrow.
Let's go.
Report what?
You already conducted an autopsy as you pleased.
This is a bad incident for Chamyung Group and us.
We already have the suicide note. Why
You were the one who cracked the case with
the forged suicide note.
That's why I live like this.
- Do you want to end up like me?
- Yes.
Jeong Woo.
What are you trying to do?
They said it's a suicide.
Are you saying that someone else killed him?
You'll see
when the results come out tomorrow.
What if you're wrong?
- Trust me, Chief Prosecutor.
- Fine.
Go on.
Goodbye.
(PRESIDENT CHA SEON HO)
Detective. Please file a writ of autopsy.
He's not the kind to commit a suicide.
Then we can get Mr. Cha Seon Ho's fingerprints.
Min Ho
The result will be out tomorrow.
(CHAMYUNG VILLA MURDER INCIDENT, SUSPECT CHA MIN HO)
You will be finished as of tomorrow.
(AUTOPSY ROOM)
They all match Cha Seon Ho's fingerprint.
That makes him Cha Min Ho.
The suicide note was his handwriting, too.
Are you
really Cha Min Ho?
The cause of death is
multiple fracture and a shock from low blood pressure
caused by the fall.
The fracture on his skull was
I came to take Min Ho back.
We need to do his funeral.
Your brother died.
How can you smile?
I want to be alone with him.
Sure.
Seon Ho, I'm sorry.
I couldn't help it.
I hope you understand.
Thanks, Seon Ho.
You can sign here.
That's all.
I'll take him back to the hospital.
Okay.
Oh, and
did the deceased used to wear glasses?
Pardon?
I saw imprints on his skin of glasses.
He loved
wearing sunglasses.
I guess so. Okay, then.
Goodbye.
Great job.
And you should listen to me.
How long will you go around investigating recklessly?
My goodness.
- Here, raise your glasses.
- Yes, sir.
Let's put an end to this case.
I need a report from you.
The car has stopped at a red light.
What should I do?
Yes, Sir.
You did well.
(A PRESS CONFERENCE FOR CHAMYUNG GROUP'S PUBLIC APOLOGY)
I truly apologize
for troubling you all.
First of all,
we will donate all of Vice President Cha Min Ho's assets.
Next,
we will fully cooperate with any needs in investigation
which he was involved with in the past.
Also, we will fully compensate
those who were affected by the incident.
(A PRESS CONFERENCE FOR CHAMYUNG GROUP'S PUBLIC APOLOGY)
Let's make the funeral small.
Yes.
It's really over now.
(RESULT OF AUTOPSY)
Prosecutor Park.
Is your report finished?
Chief Prosecutor wants it.
Yes. Here it is.
- Wait.
- Yes?
Cha Min Ho has an unusual medical history.
He has fear of needles. Have you heard of it?
(DIAGNOSED WITH FEAR OF NEEDLES, HAS BEEN MEDICALLY TREATED)
He is extremely scared of sharp objects.
They're twins, but only Cha Min Ho has this condition.
I have to give this to someone else first.
(CHAMYUNG VILLA MURDER INCIDENT, SUSPECT CHA MIN HO)
Why are there so many people in a troublemaking son's funeral?
Didn't you see how the stocks went up?
It's great news for Chamyung Group. Their troublemaker is gone.
That's harsh.
Hello, it's been a while.
(DECEASED, CHA MIN HO, CHIEF MOURNER, CHA SEON HO)
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
You can't hide your true colors.
Cha Min Ho.
- Isn't it over?
- I came to show you something.
This is the incident report.
Min Ho.
Are you okay?
- You're bleeding.
- Seon Ho.
Thank you.
Now it is truly over.
Seon Ho.
Goodbye.
(OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF THE DECEASED.)
Are you all right, Sir?
Yes, I am.
Park Jeong Woo.
What shall I do with him?
(4 MONTHS LATER)
I can't remember it.
I can't remember anything.
What? What time is it?
I won't be late. Don't you worry.
It will be done soon.
This case is already closed.
I just need it get signed off.
Okay.
(3KM TO WOLJEONG PRISON)
Mr. Park Jeong Woo. How have you been?
Who are you?
Excuse me?
- Please leave us alone.
- Okay.
Officer.
Officer. Officer!
Mr. Park.
He's gone. Please take a seat.
Who are you?
You don't need to pretend anymore. It's just you and me.
You know your memory loss?
It doesn't work anymore.
If it worked, you would have been in a mental health facility.
You know better.
Let's wrap this up. I just need to check a few things.
That
Come on. You promised to admit to everything.
Don't you remember that
you murdered your wife and daughter and abandoned their bodies?
What did you say?
- What did you say?
- What's wrong with you?
We settled everything with Prosecutor Kang Jun Hyuk.
- You're driving me crazy.
- Who?
Prosecutor Kang is in charge of your case.
You said he is your friend.
You mean Jun Hyuk? Kang Jun Hyuk?
Forget it.
Just sign this form.
No one would have defended you if it weren't for me.
My goodness.
Jun Hyuk is the prosecutor?
Prosecutor Kang Jun Hyuk.
I am informed Park Jeong Woo lost his memory again this morning.
Yes. That's what I was informed as well.
This is the fifth time.
It's the same every time.
He claimed he had his daughter's birthday party the night before
and that he slept in his house.
He lost his memory when he was sleeping just like the other times.
On the fourth day after the incident occurred,
he woke up and couldn't recall
the previous four days.
And it turned into 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months.
As of now, his memory for last four months has gone.
As I told you before,
his memory loss is a bit different from regular memory loss.
The fact that his memory always goes back to four months ago is crucial.
He claims
he had his daughter's birthday party and slept in the house.
That's the moment he wants to return the most.
After that day,
he considers it as a nightmare as you know.
But this isn't his 1st or 2nd time.
Is losing one's memory repeatedly possible?
It's not impossible although it is quite rare.
After experiencing a traumatic event that he can't bear,
his defense mechanism must be working.
It certainly shocked everyone.
Prosecutor Kang.
What's going on? Why are they in Jeong Woo's room?
Have you heard what happened in Wolhwa-dong?
I've heard the news in the car on my way here.
Did they already assign the case to us?
The suspect is
Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
Yes. Stop it.
Just don't let them print.
You should have not printed it. It's not verified yet.
Hold on.
Yes?
He's here?
Why did you bring him without checking with me?
My goodness.
- Hold on.
- Jeong Woo can't be the suspect.
Go down right now, stop the press, and bring him up.
He's arriving soon.
I will talk to you later.
- He's here.
- The car has arrived.
- You're facing a murder charge
- Move aside.
- for killing your family.
- Make way.
Stop them.
Is there evidence that he killed his family?
A prosecutor in office has murdered his family.
An unprecedented incident has occurred.
The homicide prosecutor Park Jeong Woo from Seoul Central District
was arrested and transferred to the prosecution this morning
for murdering his family and abandoning the bodies.
The whole nation is wondering how the prosecution will respond.
What shall we do, Chief Prosecutor Choi?
I'll give you a briefing after conducting an investigation.
Do you think they believe in Resumption of Innocence?
If we announce after investigating, word will get out that
we're defending one of ours and public opinion will get worse.
- Do you understand what I'm saying?
- But we need to investigate
- Give a briefing right away.
- Sir!
This is an unheard-of case in the history of the Prosecutor's Office.
Our fate is at stake here!
- You can do this, right?
- Excuse me, sir?
You take on this case.
Chief, but
This is the only way Jeong Woo will accept the situation.
- Explain the situation, please.
- Did he really commit murder?
Please keep quiet.
Let's start one by one.
I'm Oh Joon Suk of Hankuk Daily.
Please explain to us the motive for the crime.
Some may overlap, so I'll respond after hearing all your questions.
I'm a court correspondent.
Is it true that they were having family trouble?
I'm Lee Suh Yul of News Media.
Is there an accomplice?
Jun Hyuk.
Jun Hyuk.
What have you done?
- I have to find Ha Yeon.
- Jeong Woo.
I have to find Ha Yeon!
So tell me where she is!
I have to find her.
I have to find her.
My dear Ha Yeon.
It's human instinct
to deny and avoid the truth rather than accepting reality.
But why is he repeating this behavior?
One tries to endure this reality that may seem so hard to believe.
But when a person reaches a certain limit,
they runaway to protect him or herself.
They do this by erasing their memory.
But this is a crime that he committed.
That's why he wants to forget it even more.
However,
there's one thing that worries me.
What is it?
Repeatedly losing his memory
may put Mr. Park in a more serious situation.
Think of it this way.
Let's say you wake up one morning
and you've become a murderer that killed your own family.
Months have passed by as a death-row inmate.
Can you imagine how you would feel?
The second trial is coming up soon.
Do you think there's a possibility of him getting a bit better by then?
If he accepts his actions, there may be a chance of
him recovering his memory.
If there's something that can help him realize he's living in reality,
that will help.
Prison is a completely unfamiliar place to him.
All right.
I understand.
(SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT, SEOUL HIGH COURT)
Thank you for your cooperation. You make return to your seat now.
(WITNESS STAND)
Your Honor.
I would like to call the next witness to the stand.
Counselor.
(JUDGE'S BENCH)
Please step up to the bench.
When will you be finished?
I still have remaining witnesses to question, your Honor.
Let's wrap things up.
Pardon? What do you mean by that?
You've done more than enough.
What do you mean I've done enough?
All these people sitting here Their all witnesses, aren't they?
You've been questioning witnesses alone for three hours.
What's wrong with that?
Is there a problem, sir?
Are you in a hurry?
You've brought 16 witnesses
for a simple theft case.
During my experience as a judge,
I've never seen so many witnesses and such a long questioning.
- End it, this instant!
- We should do this properly.
- I refuse to finish this now.
- I say we're going to finish this.
This is an order at the judge's discretion.
How could you do that?
The defendant's life depends on this.
Do you do all trials this way?
How can you stop me from doing my best to defend my client?
There's such thing as a limit.
I'm sure you saw the prosecutor.
The prosecutor kept it short with just two witnesses.
Why do you bring the prosecutor here?
I didn't want to say this
but you two are alumnus, right?
What did you just say?
If it isn't that, why would you take the prosecutor's side?
That's not the point.
A trial that should have ended within 1 hour lasted 5 hours
because of you!
A trial ending in one hour is not right!
If all attorneys are like you,
how am I supposed to finish all these trials in one day?
I wouldn't be able to finish them even if I stay up all night.
So are you going to
take away the right of the accused to be defended?
- That's not what I'm saying.
- That's exactly what you're saying!
Your Honor, have you finished evaluating the public defender?
Yes.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Wait a moment.
There's one public defender
that I must re-evaluate.
Take these.
I'll pass it
- after filling it out again.
- Excuse me.
Your Honor.
Your Honor.
How could this be?
Isn't it the public defender's duty
to do their utmost to defend the accusers
who are exposed to the blind spots of the law?
What do you mean I can't request for a retrial for doing my best?
It's not right for Judge Kim to do this.
It's not only Judge Kim.
The other judges all shared the same opinion.
They say you disrupt the trials rather than making a plead.
You shouldn't have gone overboard.
Overboard? What do you mean by that?
What is going overboard?
This is unfair. That's easy to say because it's not your business.
That scum!
I give up.
(ATTORNEY RESIGNATION FORM)
How can you turn this in when the second trial is just ahead?
Try to hold out just a bit longer.
Hold out what?
What do you mean hold out?
Look here. Look at this!
I would press charges
but an assault charge is nothing compared to what he's facing now.
Anyway, look for someone else. I give up.
I'm finished here. Understand?
My goodness.
What are you looking at?
Darn it. What am I supposed to do with this?
How many public defenders are there left?
There's no one left. They all gave up.
A resignation form.
This person doesn't have the right to be a public defender.
(ATTORNEY RESIGNATION FORM)
I'll take this case.
- Pardon?
- You said there's no one left.
If I do this, I can be considered for reappointment, right?
Hold on
But, we have to receive a form of appointment from the defendant.
Will you be able to get that?
That won't be a problem. I'm an expert in that.
Have a wonderful day.
By the way, what case is it?
(PROSECUTOR IN OFFICE MURDERS AND ABANDONS HIS FAMILY)
Out of all people, why does it have to be Prosecutor Park?
I object.
The defendant was hospitalized not for 2 weeks but 2 months.
The defendant suffered for years
of her married life from domestic violence.
Even in the evening of the day of the incident,
she was suffering in fear.
And that attack left her hospitalized for two months.
She realized her life was in danger.
She instinctually
stabbed her husband to survive.
Prosecutor. What is it if this isn't self-defense?
You're right. It's self-defense.
If you are telling the truth, it's self-defense.
Are you saying I'm giving false information?
So there was an assault causing two months of hospitalization.
And the defendant felt her life was in danger from the attack,
and recklessly
stabbed the suspect to survive.
Therefore, this makes it self-defense.
- That's your argument, correct?
- Yes.
But what if
you were to look at these two incidents separately?
Would it still be self-defense?
The assault occurred in the morning,
and the wife stabbed her husband in the evening.
I submit this as evidence.
In accordance to Article 250 of Criminal Law
on charges of murdering her husband, I sentence the defendant
- to five years in prison.
- Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor!
Prosecutor Park.
My gosh.
You heard me. How could you ignore me?
You're so disrespectful.
Do you have anything else to say?
Public Defender Seo.
- You could have shown mercy.
- Mercy?
I have shown mercy.
What are you talking about?
A mercy shown by a prosecutor is
giving her a proper sentence according to the law.
She only held out because of her children.
And taking her
away from her children for five years is
what the law does, is that right?
- Public Defender Seo.
- What?
If you wanted to win,
you shouldn't have trusted your defendant.
Do you know why you always lose?
It's because you only take the cases in which you will lose.
Hey!
I will win my next trial.
Wait and see.
My gosh.
Would he let me handle his case?
(EX-PROSECUTOR PARK JEONG WOO, DEATH SENTENCE IN HIS FIRST TRIAL)
Eun Hye, come and eat.
Okay, Aunt.
- What's wrong? Are you sick?
- What?
I'll be there soon.
- Be quick.
- Okay.
- Eun Hye.
- Dad.
I didn't do it.
I'll be out soon.
Do you trust me?
Dad, it's not you. I know that.
I'll save you. You have to wait.
(EX-PROSECUTOR PARK JEONG WOO, DEATH SENTENCE IN HIS FIRST TRIAL)
You will let me take your case.
Park Jeong Woo.
Jun Hyuk.
Jeong Woo.
Yes.
I have to get out.
Ha Yeon must be waiting for me.
I have a lot to do.
Let's go. Did you bring your car?
- No, let's go.
- Jeong Woo.
What's wrong?
This is all a joke.
- What's wrong? Let's just go.
- Jeong Woo.
Jun Hyuk.
Tell me this isn't true. Now!
Tell me this isn't true. Now!
Please, tell me this isn't true.
Jun Hyuk, tell me it's not true.
Please. Tell me it's not true.
Please. Tell me it's not true.
Did I really do it?
So far, yes.
So far?
I know that you won't make any mistakes.
Was I suspicious of Ji Soo for having an affair?
Everything was burnt except for that one.
It makes no sense for Ji Soo to have an affair, Jun Hyuk.
Do you
really not remember?
No, not at all. I don't remember anything.
It was Ha Yeon's birthday.
The doctor says
there is a possibility
that your last memory is also distorted.
Distorted?
Is my memory distorted?
Hey, Jun Hyuk.
Why am I still alive, then?
If I killed Ha Yeon and Ji Soo myself,
why am I still alive?
Jeong Woo.
Tell me! Why am I still alive?
Why?
I can't remember anything.
Anything.
Ha Yeon's birthday is still vivid, but I don't remember anything else.
What happened to Ha Yeon?
You haven't
remembered the exact spot.
What?
Ha Yeon.
I will
I will
find you.
These are the records of your incident.
It'll help you remember.
Jeong Woo.
Take care.
Here.
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
If he doesn't make a scene,
we wouldn't send him to a punishment room.
I mean, he was a prosecutor, after all.
Please take a good care of him.
That's not hard.
We're all out here to help each other.
Get in.
Jeong Woo, are you all right?
I bet you had a hard time in there.
Take off your shoes and put them in there.
The second last seat is yours.
They all are out for work.
And I'm a prisoner on trial.
That's right. You must have been surprised yesterday.
This one.
They played a little joke on you.
Change into this uniform.
I'll put it on here. Change your clothes whenever you want.
Let me see.
The doctor says
there's a possibility that your last memory is also distorted.

Seong Kyu.
Are you getting a going-over today?
No, they want me tomorrow.
Good for you. You are going out tomorrow.
What's good about it? He's going to the prosecutor.
- Make sure to beg him pardon.
- Okay.
This is so frustrating.
Why do they put prisoners on trial and convicts in the same room?
They are short of rooms.
Still, this is a prison, not a guest house.
The state of our country is in shambles.
- It doesn't matter what this is.
- Right.
The country is in a mess.
What's wrong?
What is a guest house?
Poor Miryang. He doesn't even know what it is.
Come visit me later.
I will show you what it is.
- Can I join him?
- Of course.
- Count me in.
- Okay.
- Stay out of this.
- Please.
Jeong Woo, have some.
You seemed to like it.
Seong Kyu cares about you.
Have some.
Let's go out for exercise after you eat this.
Eat it.
Move faster.
I will go first.
- Gosh.
- There he goes again.
Pass the ball.
- That's right. Good!
- Gosh!
Jeong Woo, how do you feel?
It's good to be out, isn't it?
There are some prisoners you imprisoned, right?
Do you know why they can't come up to you?
Perhaps, you might get acquitted and released.
That's why they don't want to take that risk.
Acquitted?
Good job! The weather is nice.
Let's have a walk, Jeong Woo.
You are stuck in the cell all day.
Let's go have some walk at least for 10 minutes.
Come on. Just 10 minutes.
- Can't you do it better?
- Nice! Okay!
Don't worry.
There won't be a problem
in the second trial.
Okay.
Daddy.
Eun Soo, sweetie.
Is this the toy?
Yes, Mom bought me this toy.
You must be excited.
Shall we go see Grandpa now?
- Yes, let's go.
- Okay.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Daddy, look at this.
- Do you like it?
- Yes, because Mom bought it for me.
I see.
How do you play with it?
Like this? Let me see.
Like this?

What does he know?
If you act as Cha Sun Ho, did you think you'd get away with it?
Prosecutor, what are you rambling about?
There's no way out now.
- Cha Min Ho.
- You're right. I'm Cha Min Ho.
I'm Cha Min Ho.
I'll help you say that with your own mouth.
Who are you people? Help me.
We'll have to try to at least avoid the death penalty, won't we?
What will change if I escape the death penalty? You tell me.
Are you crazy?
If you're lying, I'm going to kill you.

- I found you.
- Please don't kill me.
Please let me go.

Yeon Hee. You're right.
It's me, Min Ho.
- I can't believe this.
- I'm sure you can't.
Are you talking about him killing someone or jumping off?
The patient has come to.
Min Ho.
Talk to me.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Yes. He smelled strongly of alcohol.
There was no alcohol found in his blood.
The last person he met was President Cha Seon Ho.
Nice to meet you. I'm Cha Seon Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
Min Ho.
What? Repeat that.
Min Ho.

(INNOCENT DEFENDANT)
(EPISODE 2)
Mr. Cha Min Ho is pronounced dead.
On September 17th, at 1pm
Hang on.
First, let me make sure of a few things.
Pardon?
There are procedures required.
We need an autopsy to see
if it was a suicide or not.
What do you mean?
You know he left a suicide note.
We have no choice. He was a suspect in a murder case.
Don't you need his family's consent for that?
It's like killing him twice. I just can't do that.
Detective.
- Yes?
- Please file a writ of autopsy.
Okay.
The chairman has arrived.
Cha Min Ho.
Father.
- Please
- Is it true
that he's dead?
Yes.
Okay, then.
Pardon?
It's a good thing
for Chamyung Group
and for you.
Just think that he's gone with everything upon him.
You two are brothers of the same blood,
but he is not like you.
Let's just pretend he didn't exist.
Forget about the whole thing.
Okay.
Keep up your spirits
and get things done well.
Everyone
is watching us now.
Okay.
Let's just pretend he didn't exist.
Min Ho.
What took you so long? I was waiting for you.
You look worn with care. What's wrong?
Ma'am.
He's Mr. Cha Seon Ho.
No, he's Min Ho. Am I right?
That's right. You are Min Ho.
Why would I not recognize him? I'm his mother.
Yes, I am, Mom.
Min Ho, what took you so long?
I missed you so much.
Why
didn't you come sooner?
Her symptoms are getting worse these days.
Please don't tell her. She will be shocked.
Okay.
Ma'am, let's go.
(VIP WARD)
Where is Seon Ho?
Why isn't he coming?
How far does he know?
Is that
A warrant will be issued soon.
How far is he going with this?
I've lost a son.
I can't lose
the other one, too.
Do you want me to analyze the cause of death?
External injuries
are from a fall.
(CHA MIN HO)
Please identify the body first.
Sorry? Isn't he the man who was on the news?
His family is here, too.
I will do that.
Wait.
His fingertips are ruined.
We can't identify the body with fingerprints.
We will need a DNA test.
Fortunately, we have his medical records.
No.
Identical twins have the same DNA, right?
That's right. What should we do, then?
Identify him with fingerprints.
I just told you. His fingerprints are ruined.
Then we can get Mr. Cha Seon Ho's fingerprints.
What do you mean?
It will work the other way around.
If Mr. Cha Seon Ho is identified, the body will be identified, too.
Am I asking for too much, President Cha Seon Ho?
If that's how you want it.
The result will be out tomorrow.
Let's go.
Report what?
You already conducted an autopsy as you pleased.
This is a bad incident for Chamyung Group and us.
We already have the suicide note. Why
You were the one who cracked the case with
the forged suicide note.
That's why I live like this.
- Do you want to end up like me?
- Yes.
Jeong Woo.
What are you trying to do?
They said it's a suicide.
Are you saying that someone else killed him?
You'll see
when the results come out tomorrow.
What if you're wrong?
- Trust me, Chief Prosecutor.
- Fine.
Go on.
Goodbye.
(PRESIDENT CHA SEON HO)
Detective. Please file a writ of autopsy.
He's not the kind to commit a suicide.
Then we can get Mr. Cha Seon Ho's fingerprints.
Min Ho
The result will be out tomorrow.
(CHAMYUNG VILLA MURDER INCIDENT, SUSPECT CHA MIN HO)
You will be finished as of tomorrow.
(AUTOPSY ROOM)
They all match Cha Seon Ho's fingerprint.
That makes him Cha Min Ho.
The suicide note was his handwriting, too.
Are you
really Cha Min Ho?
The cause of death is
multiple fracture and a shock from low blood pressure
caused by the fall.
The fracture on his skull was
I came to take Min Ho back.
We need to do his funeral.
Your brother died.
How can you smile?
I want to be alone with him.
Sure.
Seon Ho, I'm sorry.
I couldn't help it.
I hope you understand.
Thanks, Seon Ho.
You can sign here.
That's all.
I'll take him back to the hospital.
Okay.
Oh, and
did the deceased used to wear glasses?
Pardon?
I saw imprints on his skin of glasses.
He loved
wearing sunglasses.
I guess so. Okay, then.
Goodbye.
Great job.
And you should listen to me.
How long will you go around investigating recklessly?
My goodness.
- Here, raise your glasses.
- Yes, sir.
Let's put an end to this case.
I need a report from you.
The car has stopped at a red light.
What should I do?
Yes, Sir.
You did well.
(A PRESS CONFERENCE FOR CHAMYUNG GROUP'S PUBLIC APOLOGY)
I truly apologize
for troubling you all.
First of all,
we will donate all of Vice President Cha Min Ho's assets.
Next,
we will fully cooperate with any needs in investigation
which he was involved with in the past.
Also, we will fully compensate
those who were affected by the incident.
(A PRESS CONFERENCE FOR CHAMYUNG GROUP'S PUBLIC APOLOGY)
Let's make the funeral small.
Yes.
It's really over now.
(RESULT OF AUTOPSY)
Prosecutor Park.
Is your report finished?
Chief Prosecutor wants it.
Yes. Here it is.
- Wait.
- Yes?
Cha Min Ho has an unusual medical history.
He has fear of needles. Have you heard of it?
(DIAGNOSED WITH FEAR OF NEEDLES, HAS BEEN MEDICALLY TREATED)
He is extremely scared of sharp objects.
They're twins, but only Cha Min Ho has this condition.
I have to give this to someone else first.
(CHAMYUNG VILLA MURDER INCIDENT, SUSPECT CHA MIN HO)
Why are there so many people in a troublemaking son's funeral?
Didn't you see how the stocks went up?
It's great news for Chamyung Group. Their troublemaker is gone.
That's harsh.
Hello, it's been a while.
(DECEASED, CHA MIN HO, CHIEF MOURNER, CHA SEON HO)
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
You can't hide your true colors.
Cha Min Ho.
- Isn't it over?
- I came to show you something.
This is the incident report.
Min Ho.
Are you okay?
- You're bleeding.
- Seon Ho.
Thank you.
Now it is truly over.
Seon Ho.
Goodbye.
(OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF THE DECEASED.)
Are you all right, Sir?
Yes, I am.
Park Jeong Woo.
What shall I do with him?
(4 MONTHS LATER)
I can't remember it.
I can't remember anything.
What? What time is it?
I won't be late. Don't you worry.
It will be done soon.
This case is already closed.
I just need it get signed off.
Okay.
(3KM TO WOLJEONG PRISON)
Mr. Park Jeong Woo. How have you been?
Who are you?
Excuse me?
- Please leave us alone.
- Okay.
Officer.
Officer. Officer!
Mr. Park.
He's gone. Please take a seat.
Who are you?
You don't need to pretend anymore. It's just you and me.
You know your memory loss?
It doesn't work anymore.
If it worked, you would have been in a mental health facility.
You know better.
Let's wrap this up. I just need to check a few things.
That
Come on. You promised to admit to everything.
Don't you remember that
you murdered your wife and daughter and abandoned their bodies?
What did you say?
- What did you say?
- What's wrong with you?
We settled everything with Prosecutor Kang Jun Hyuk.
- You're driving me crazy.
- Who?
Prosecutor Kang is in charge of your case.
You said he is your friend.
You mean Jun Hyuk? Kang Jun Hyuk?
Forget it.
Just sign this form.
No one would have defended you if it weren't for me.
My goodness.
Jun Hyuk is the prosecutor?
Prosecutor Kang Jun Hyuk.
I am informed Park Jeong Woo lost his memory again this morning.
Yes. That's what I was informed as well.
This is the fifth time.
It's the same every time.
He claimed he had his daughter's birthday party the night before
and that he slept in his house.
He lost his memory when he was sleeping just like the other times.
On the fourth day after the incident occurred,
he woke up and couldn't recall
the previous four days.
And it turned into 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months.
As of now, his memory for last four months has gone.
As I told you before,
his memory loss is a bit different from regular memory loss.
The fact that his memory always goes back to four months ago is crucial.
He claims
he had his daughter's birthday party and slept in the house.
That's the moment he wants to return the most.
After that day,
he considers it as a nightmare as you know.
But this isn't his 1st or 2nd time.
Is losing one's memory repeatedly possible?
It's not impossible although it is quite rare.
After experiencing a traumatic event that he can't bear,
his defense mechanism must be working.
It certainly shocked everyone.
Prosecutor Kang.
What's going on? Why are they in Jeong Woo's room?
Have you heard what happened in Wolhwa-dong?
I've heard the news in the car on my way here.
Did they already assign the case to us?
The suspect is
Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
Yes. Stop it.
Just don't let them print.
You should have not printed it. It's not verified yet.
Hold on.
Yes?
He's here?
Why did you bring him without checking with me?
My goodness.
- Hold on.
- Jeong Woo can't be the suspect.
Go down right now, stop the press, and bring him up.
He's arriving soon.
I will talk to you later.
- He's here.
- The car has arrived.
- You're facing a murder charge
- Move aside.
- for killing your family.
- Make way.
Stop them.
Is there evidence that he killed his family?
A prosecutor in office has murdered his family.
An unprecedented incident has occurred.
The homicide prosecutor Park Jeong Woo from Seoul Central District
was arrested and transferred to the prosecution this morning
for murdering his family and abandoning the bodies.
The whole nation is wondering how the prosecution will respond.
What shall we do, Chief Prosecutor Choi?
I'll give you a briefing after conducting an investigation.
Do you think they believe in Resumption of Innocence?
If we announce after investigating, word will get out that
we're defending one of ours and public opinion will get worse.
- Do you understand what I'm saying?
- But we need to investigate
- Give a briefing right away.
- Sir!
This is an unheard-of case in the history of the Prosecutor's Office.
Our fate is at stake here!
- You can do this, right?
- Excuse me, sir?
You take on this case.
Chief, but
This is the only way Jeong Woo will accept the situation.
- Explain the situation, please.
- Did he really commit murder?
Please keep quiet.
Let's start one by one.
I'm Oh Joon Suk of Hankuk Daily.
Please explain to us the motive for the crime.
Some may overlap, so I'll respond after hearing all your questions.
I'm a court correspondent.
Is it true that they were having family trouble?
I'm Lee Suh Yul of News Media.
Is there an accomplice?
Jun Hyuk.
Jun Hyuk.
What have you done?
- I have to find Ha Yeon.
- Jeong Woo.
I have to find Ha Yeon!
So tell me where she is!
I have to find her.
I have to find her.
My dear Ha Yeon.
It's human instinct
to deny and avoid the truth rather than accepting reality.
But why is he repeating this behavior?
One tries to endure this reality that may seem so hard to believe.
But when a person reaches a certain limit,
they runaway to protect him or herself.
They do this by erasing their memory.
But this is a crime that he committed.
That's why he wants to forget it even more.
However,
there's one thing that worries me.
What is it?
Repeatedly losing his memory
may put Mr. Park in a more serious situation.
Think of it this way.
Let's say you wake up one morning
and you've become a murderer that killed your own family.
Months have passed by as a death-row inmate.
Can you imagine how you would feel?
The second trial is coming up soon.
Do you think there's a possibility of him getting a bit better by then?
If he accepts his actions, there may be a chance of
him recovering his memory.
If there's something that can help him realize he's living in reality,
that will help.
Prison is a completely unfamiliar place to him.
All right.
I understand.
(SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT, SEOUL HIGH COURT)
Thank you for your cooperation. You make return to your seat now.
(WITNESS STAND)
Your Honor.
I would like to call the next witness to the stand.
Counselor.
(JUDGE'S BENCH)
Please step up to the bench.
When will you be finished?
I still have remaining witnesses to question, your Honor.
Let's wrap things up.
Pardon? What do you mean by that?
You've done more than enough.
What do you mean I've done enough?
All these people sitting here Their all witnesses, aren't they?
You've been questioning witnesses alone for three hours.
What's wrong with that?
Is there a problem, sir?
Are you in a hurry?
You've brought 16 witnesses
for a simple theft case.
During my experience as a judge,
I've never seen so many witnesses and such a long questioning.
- End it, this instant!
- We should do this properly.
- I refuse to finish this now.
- I say we're going to finish this.
This is an order at the judge's discretion.
How could you do that?
The defendant's life depends on this.
Do you do all trials this way?
How can you stop me from doing my best to defend my client?
There's such thing as a limit.
I'm sure you saw the prosecutor.
The prosecutor kept it short with just two witnesses.
Why do you bring the prosecutor here?
I didn't want to say this
but you two are alumnus, right?
What did you just say?
If it isn't that, why would you take the prosecutor's side?
That's not the point.
A trial that should have ended within 1 hour lasted 5 hours
because of you!
A trial ending in one hour is not right!
If all attorneys are like you,
how am I supposed to finish all these trials in one day?
I wouldn't be able to finish them even if I stay up all night.
So are you going to
take away the right of the accused to be defended?
- That's not what I'm saying.
- That's exactly what you're saying!
Your Honor, have you finished evaluating the public defender?
Yes.
- Here you go.
- Thank you.
Wait a moment.
There's one public defender
that I must re-evaluate.
Take these.
I'll pass it
- after filling it out again.
- Excuse me.
Your Honor.
Your Honor.
How could this be?
Isn't it the public defender's duty
to do their utmost to defend the accusers
who are exposed to the blind spots of the law?
What do you mean I can't request for a retrial for doing my best?
It's not right for Judge Kim to do this.
It's not only Judge Kim.
The other judges all shared the same opinion.
They say you disrupt the trials rather than making a plead.
You shouldn't have gone overboard.
Overboard? What do you mean by that?
What is going overboard?
This is unfair. That's easy to say because it's not your business.
That scum!
I give up.
(ATTORNEY RESIGNATION FORM)
How can you turn this in when the second trial is just ahead?
Try to hold out just a bit longer.
Hold out what?
What do you mean hold out?
Look here. Look at this!
I would press charges
but an assault charge is nothing compared to what he's facing now.
Anyway, look for someone else. I give up.
I'm finished here. Understand?
My goodness.
What are you looking at?
Darn it. What am I supposed to do with this?
How many public defenders are there left?
There's no one left. They all gave up.
A resignation form.
This person doesn't have the right to be a public defender.
(ATTORNEY RESIGNATION FORM)
I'll take this case.
- Pardon?
- You said there's no one left.
If I do this, I can be considered for reappointment, right?
Hold on
But, we have to receive a form of appointment from the defendant.
Will you be able to get that?
That won't be a problem. I'm an expert in that.
Have a wonderful day.
By the way, what case is it?
(PROSECUTOR IN OFFICE MURDERS AND ABANDONS HIS FAMILY)
Out of all people, why does it have to be Prosecutor Park?
I object.
The defendant was hospitalized not for 2 weeks but 2 months.
The defendant suffered for years
of her married life from domestic violence.
Even in the evening of the day of the incident,
she was suffering in fear.
And that attack left her hospitalized for two months.
She realized her life was in danger.
She instinctually
stabbed her husband to survive.
Prosecutor. What is it if this isn't self-defense?
You're right. It's self-defense.
If you are telling the truth, it's self-defense.
Are you saying I'm giving false information?
So there was an assault causing two months of hospitalization.
And the defendant felt her life was in danger from the attack,
and recklessly
stabbed the suspect to survive.
Therefore, this makes it self-defense.
- That's your argument, correct?
- Yes.
But what if
you were to look at these two incidents separately?
Would it still be self-defense?
The assault occurred in the morning,
and the wife stabbed her husband in the evening.
I submit this as evidence.
In accordance to Article 250 of Criminal Law
on charges of murdering her husband, I sentence the defendant
- to five years in prison.
- Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor!
Prosecutor Park.
My gosh.
You heard me. How could you ignore me?
You're so disrespectful.
Do you have anything else to say?
Public Defender Seo.
- You could have shown mercy.
- Mercy?
I have shown mercy.
What are you talking about?
A mercy shown by a prosecutor is
giving her a proper sentence according to the law.
She only held out because of her children.
And taking her
away from her children for five years is
what the law does, is that right?
- Public Defender Seo.
- What?
If you wanted to win,
you shouldn't have trusted your defendant.
Do you know why you always lose?
It's because you only take the cases in which you will lose.
Hey!
I will win my next trial.
Wait and see.
My gosh.
Would he let me handle his case?

Please. Tell me it's not true.
Please. Tell me it's not true.
Did I really do it?
So far, yes.
So far?
I know that you won't make any mistakes.
Was I suspicious of Ji Soo for having an affair?
Everything was burnt except for that one.
It makes no sense for Ji Soo to have an affair, Jun Hyuk.
Do you
really not remember?
No, not at all. I don't remember anything.
It was Ha Yeon's birthday.
The doctor says
there is a possibility
that your last memory is also distorted.
Distorted?
Is my memory distorted?
Hey, Jun Hyuk.
Why am I still alive, then?
If I killed Ha Yeon and Ji Soo myself,
why am I still alive?
Jeong Woo.
Tell me! Why am I still alive?
Why?
I can't remember anything.
Anything.
Ha Yeon's birthday is still vivid, but I don't remember anything else.
What happened to Ha Yeon?
You haven't
remembered the exact spot.
What?
Ha Yeon.
I will
I will
find you.
These are the records of your incident.
It'll help you remember.

Take care.
Here.
- Thank you.
- Don't mention it.
If he doesn't make a scene,
we wouldn't send him to a punishment room.
I mean, he was a prosecutor, after all.
Please take a good care of him.
That's not hard.
