[All characters, organizations, events, religions, etc.]
[portrayed in this series are strictly fictional.]
Stretcher, hurry!
I'll get straight to the point.
Don't bother Han Seungmin anymore.
[EPISODE 6]
I was so excited
when you said you wanted to see me.
But I have no idea
what you're talking about right now.
Then,
I'll make it simple for you.
I'm sure you know
that I'm the prosecutor in charge of Han Seungmin.
As soon as he entered prison,
odd things started happening around him.
And?
A fire on the first day
and a fight a few days later.
And this time,
he gets stabbed in the exercise yard.
Then…
you should bring it up with the prison officials.
Why are you telling me this?
Am I wrong?
As far as I know, I thought the warden was on your side.
Am I wrong?
I think I'm right.
So?
Camel.
Ingyo.
And
Inmate Number 1669.
Park Hyun.
Anyway, that's all I have to say.
About Han Seungmin…
Don't even think about laying a finger on him.
Otherwise, I'll be re-prosecuting someone on that day.
That's all you need to know.
I think you know a little too much.
As you might already know,
this won't be easy.
Yes.
I know.
Assemblymen and our…
Head Prosecutor.
I know you are good friends with those in authority.
Why are you doing all this?
Because someone
will be very sad
if something happens to Han Seungmin.
I'm not done talking to you!
No man rejected my offer up to this date.
How about you, Prosecutor?
Luckily, his life isn't in grave danger.
Excessive bleeding caused shock.
I wish…
you could…
stop doing this now.
I think I still love you a lot.
So…
Please stop now.
Seungmin.
Minjae.
How long have I been like this?
That's what you're asking?
You almost died.
Tell me how long it has been.
How many days do I have now?
You have 28 days.
But it'll be impossible like this.
I'll do it.
If I was going to let you do it,
I wouldn't have created this situation.
Those bastards really tried to kill you.
It wasn't them.
This was part of my plan.
What's the next step?
I know the warden asked you to do something.
What?
Do as he said.
Do it during exercise time tomorrow.
What do you mean?
This is the only way for me
to not be transferred.
I don't know if you understand
but you could end up killing him.
Even the smallest mistake.
It's difficult
even for knife experts to pull off.
Make sure
I get back to the prison tomorrow.
There's no time to delay.
This is because of Yu Hee, right?
We don't know
what they're going to do next.
They won't…
They won't be able to act recklessly anymore.
I'd like to finish the introduction of the VIPs
who spared precious time to come here.
Lastly, please give it up for Park Jeongha,
the Chairwoman of the Ilsim foundation.
Hello, everyone.
To all the honored guests attending this event,
I'd like to extend my deepest gratitude.
The Ilsim foundation is looking forward
to providing support across all of the fine arts
including ballet, art, and music
to allow female art students to focus
only on dreaming of a new future.
Through cooperation with domestic art universities,
selected students will receive a scholarship
to a school in Russia that will be
established by the foundation
and we will not only provide a scholarship,
but will also provide living expenses.
Lastly,
the Ilsim Foundation was established
with the support of a fund
from the late Mayor Yu Hongmin.
In order to keep up with his noble intentions,
the foundation will be managed with the utmost effort.
I'd like to take this opportunity to promise you that.
Thank you.
[CAMEL]
[LEE MINJI]
The lead…
is gone
again.
I need to start all over.
It was around that time
when the professor started
suspecting people.
[517 DAYS AGO]
Now that Lieutenant Yu joined our team,
Let's go!
Over here! Come this way.
I called him. Is that okay?
Why are you bringing an outsider to our team dinner?
You little…
How is he an outsider? He's family.
Please come sit here.
Okay.
Come, have a seat.
Can we get one more glass here, please?
Okay.
So Lieutenant Yu was your student?
I didn't know that.
So how was his reputation in school?
Was he very popular?
Oh come on!
Wait, that's true.
I've heard that Seungmin was popular in school.
Is that true?
Oh, he was.
He was like a role model to students at the National Police Academy.
Role model.
I knew it.
But sometimes…
he was a bit of a jerk.
I mean he never gave any compliments.
We kept betting on who would get his compliment
for four years.
He has a bad personality.
Wait, so…
Did anyone receive a compliment?
I have reviewed your lacking and sloppy assignments.
I'm done grading them,
so please take your reports.
Na Yumin.
Kim Seongeun.
Kim Yeonwoo.
Kim Yucheol.
Kim Yuhyeon.
Kim Yina.
Yu Hee.
Have you ever thought about studying profiling more in depth?
Excuse me?
If you do, consider it for your graduation thesis.
It was an interesting choice of subject,
and the report was very well-analyzed.
But there is a limitation in analyzing a crime with statistics.
Every crime has a scene.
Statistics cannot always be applied to the scene of a crime.
That may lead you to become a disrespected profiler.
Then…
what should I be considering more?
The actual scene can be more important
than thousands of papers on statistics.
When you can't solve a crime,
you have to start over again
with the first hunch you had.
That is the best way.
- Wow, Lieutenant. - So it was Lieutenant Yu.
Seungmin, you really said that?
Frankly, I can't recall.
For crying out loud!
He's got this special talent for making you feel bad.
Seungmin, you are so--
How could you not remember
the only student you complimented?
I thought you were smart?
No,
I don't remember.
Let's just drink.
What an *.
I should head out.
I'm sorry.
Hey, Subin.
I'm leaving too. Hey, wear this!
Wow, you guys get home safe.
It's raining cats and dogs.
Take care.
I remember the criminal psychology research that applied statistics.
So you do remember.
Then why did you…
When it comes to social life,
showing that you have a special relationship
with a certain person in a group
is not necessarily a good thing.
I didn't think that deeply.
You're more meticulous than I thought, Professor.
I still
don't understand what type of person you are.
What do you mean by that?
It's nothing.
Hey, how come you're not here?
Did you arrive?
I dozed off. I'll be out in a minute.
It's fine. I'll get home by myself.
Are you sure?
It's fine.
We can't live like this forever.
It's okay.
Do you want to grab a beer?
Sure.
How about chicken and beer?
I'll be there soon. Okay.
The child is left alone
To look after the house
The sea is singing a lullaby
*, who do you think you're messing with?
Sleep tight in those arms
Slowly falling asleep
Senior Inspector.
Yes.
The victim's name is Lee Sejin. She's 29 years old.
Looks like she was murdered on her way home from work.
And the last person she called was her husband?
Where is he now?
He's at home under protection.
Let's go there first.
I was waiting for her to come home after overtime.
My condolences.
I understand that it's difficult,
but I need to ask you a few questions.
How long have you been
married to your wife?
We registered our marriage three months ago without a wedding.
So you were newlyweds.
Then, how long have you both known each other?
Well,
it's been around five years.
I see that
you were the last person who talked on the phone with her.
Did you notice anything strange?
No.
Okay.
But…
the last time you talked to her
was around 8:30 at night.
But you called us
not even before
it reached 9 o'clock.
If there was nothing strange,
what made you call us that quickly?
That is…
Did you look into it?
I did.
What about the husband?
Okay.
So they both have clean records?
Got it.
Investigate more into their past
and get back to the station.
We ran a background check,
but neither have criminal records.
But something smells fishy, right?
Yes, definitely.
They registered their marriage three months ago,
so I understand there are no wedding pictures,
but not a single framed picture together?
The vibe of that house as well…
Did you find anything strange, Lieutenant Yu?
There were many locks. It's not like she was living there alone.
There were too many of them.
Maybe
he was trying to lock her in?
I keep thinking it's the husband.
The fact that he called the police within 30 minutes…
Don't you guys think the husband is the killer?
But then the murder took place
less than 200 meters from the downtown area.
Correct, that is not an ideal location to murder someone.
At home would've been a safer choice if her husband was the murderer.
It's easier to cover up the crime.
First, let's go back and dig some more
to see if the husband did it
or
if there was someone else.
Senior Inspector.
Yes?
This is strange.
What is?
Their registered address
[RESIDENT REGISTRATION FORM] isn't their home.
Maybe they haven't registered the new address yet?
It's been more than six months since they moved in already.
And Lee Sejin…
has been reported missing.
[MISSING PERSONS REPORT] Reported missing?
Senior Inspector!
Both of their cell phones are not under their names.
What the hell?
[PHONE STATEMENT]
We need to secure Park Jongho's safety.
Why suddenly?
If they are hiding from someone,
Park Jongho
could be in danger right now.
Let's go.
- Detective Bae. - Yes.
Start the car.
Long time no see.
You little traitor…
You and her really…
God, it took forever to find you.
Do you have any idea
how hard it was for me to find you two, you bastard?
You sneaky rats.
Excuse me!
Hang on!
What do you want, *?
What did you do to Park Jongho?
Why? Do you want to die, too?
Huh? You dipshit!
You *, bring it!
You *!
The professor thought
the information leaked out.
He started suspecting our team
from that time.
[DOCTOR'S NOTE] This is my statement that Han Seungmin
[DOCTOR'S NOTE] is eligible to come back to prison.
And
he needs to be hospitalized at the infirmary.
For how long?
Four weeks.
It's one month.
One month…
Refusing to transfer to another prison,
and the wound must be taken care of at the infirmary,
not at the hospital…
It just fits perfectly.
Hey,
you sure you're okay?
I'm fine.
You're really going into Section D-4?
You can't go there in this condition.
There's no way.
We only have 27 days left.
Old timer.
You said you took part in the renovation of Section D-4.
I did.
You only need to tell me
the areas that were renovated.
The previous floor plan is all in my head.
9778.
Interview.
I'm tired of saying that I'm disappointed.
How come you're doing everything wrong?
I am sorry.
First,
I will make sure there's no problem
with our leader's safety.
The one you are dealing with is Han Seungmin!
Reinforce the security.
You haven't found her yet?
No.
Not yet--
It's just a girl, and you can't even find her.
Are you sure she doesn't know anything?
Yes.
There should be no problem.
Something is fishy…
That prosecutor is causing a headache.
Han Seungmin…
There might be a solution.
Doesn't Han Seungmin
have one weakness?
Are you referring to Yu Hee?
But our leader has pointed out that--
He is the most important person to us!
Nothing can come before him!
We're keeping an eye on Yu Hee, right?
Yes.
I was told that she met Han Seungmin.
Is everything okay?
Yes, it's fine.
I would love to get some rest if it's not urgent.
You are taking a step back again.
I couldn't understand you
every time you did that.
But now I do.
Ingyo.
Why did you try to
cope with everything alone?
Every since the Lee Sejin case…
Right?
That's when you started suspecting everyone.
It's going to get worse.
In here,
I can't protect you.
Don't worry, I will get stronger.
Don't…
trust anyone.
Nobody.
Nobody means
including me
and anybody else…
From now on,
the only person who can protect you
is yourself.
Professor.
I want to be stronger
so that…
so that I…
can protect you.
Please keep that in mind.
[HOPE AND REFORM FOR TOMORROW]
Adaptor and cable, please.
[HOPE AND REFORM FOR TOMORROW]
Today at 7 pm.
Let's meet at Seungmin's place.
Long time no see.
[RESPECT FOR HUMANS, ESTABLISHMENT OF LAW AND ORDER]
Open it.
Is security getting reinforced?
Yes.
Since you feel anxious,
searchlights will be back up again
in two days.
Don't forget.
Kang Daehun died as soon as Han Seungmin came here.
Yes, I understand.
Welcome.
It's been a long time.
Idiot…
What the hell…
Sing more loudly!
Three thousand Li of splendid rivers and mountains
Security in Section D-4 has been reinforced.
So it will be
impossible.
I knew it was going to happen.
How are you going to get in there?
Do you know what they're installing?
There's a motion sensor at the entrance
that a rat could set off.
Forget about all that.
How are you even going to get through
the fingerprint scanner at the main door?
Using a stupid plastic key?
It's impossible to get through.
I've got to see Cheolhee.
He's inside so we'll have to find a way.
There's no need.
They are installing CCTVs that are impenetrable.
I can't get in through there.
I never intended to go through there.
Then how are you going to get in?
Not from the front.
I'm entering from the back.
9778, to the infirmary.
I was so worried
that something might go wrong with our professor.
Why is he going through
all this effort to not get transferred?
Huh?
I mean, is there gold in this place or something?
Please take care of one more.
No.
We are done here.
I feel like I'll die soon teaming up with you.
This doesn't feel right.
Take care of yourself too, Doctor.
다음에 만나면 나 그냥 안가 I'm not letting you go next time I see you.
Then,
have a great conversation.
I really like you.
But there's one problem.
You lack
affection.
After all, Yu Hee is
the one and only
family of Mayor Yu.
And
she is very important to us.
Now we are only keeping an eye on her,
but there might also be a situation that we can't help.
I understand.
Do what you want.
Are the issues of the foundation
all resolved?
Yes.
It has been arranged so
the estate of Chairman Yu Hyeonil will be donated to the foundation.
Also,
it's too loud and noisy out there,
and I can't listen to my music.
Extra security measures are being installed.
I'll wrap it up as soon as possible.
And
was it Professor Han?
I heard he was hurt.
Now that there is less than a month left,
what else can he do?
It must be just a fuss.
I'll get rid
of our dog.
No.
Don't do that.
I heard that a prosecutor was acting up.
There's no need to
open a can of worms.
Instead,
I will try talking to him
so bring him here.
You…
want to talk to him directly?
One way or another,
I should be thankful to him for protecting me all this time.
Now that I think about it,
I have never
even treated him to a cup of tea.
Help yourself, please.
The aroma is good.
As I get older,
I get fond of this.
Wow, the aroma.
Thank you so much.
I am sorry.
You're going through a lot for me,
and this must be the first time
we are meeting in person, right?
Yes, that's right.
Please understand.
I've committed a lot of sins.
You too must have done
unspeakable things to people.
Well…
I have done a few things.
How much money did you receive
from Professor Han?
Pardon?
I don't exactly follow what you're--
I'm sure it must be a lot.
You shouldn't lie.
You'll get punished.
Or maybe…
You have already committed an unforgivable number of sins,
spoken lies,
and probably done a lot more.
Maybe it's too late for you to be forgiven?
But you still need to be forgiven
and live, right?
Sir, I think
there is a misunderstanding.
You see, people are usually like that.
People become obedient
to bad people rather than good people.
You must know that well, right?
After all, you have lived your life like that.
Han Seungmin, is he a good person
or a bad person?
Am I
a good person
or a bad person?
So,
please do not upset me anymore.
The tea is getting cold.
Please help yourself.
There's a door leading
to the back of the building.
I need that key.
Look, I told you that these two had something going on.
Ah, they're on the same team.
So,
can you make the key?
Well it's a bit confusing since it's all by hand…
But I think I could make a few keys with different pin heights.
But the real problem is that
I need something I can turn into keys.
Plastic won't work this time.
We could use wood.
Wood?
How do we turn wood into keys?
You water the wood like this and make it against the grain,
then it becomes as hard as metal.
This is rosewood.
It's the strongest of all woods.
Minjae has been watering them for months
and drying them under the sun.
So they should be strong enough as keys.
Well, let's say you get to that door.
What are you going to do with the wall?
I'll break it down.
What are you doing?
You idiot, I told you to be on a lookout.
Kang Daehun
[INCIDENT REPORT] was convicted of robbery and murder.
I must look into
the victims, Lee Sejin and Park Jongho.
Lieutenant.
What are you doing?
Why are you reading that?
[ANLIM CITY NEWLYWED MURDER CASE] Just because.
Subin,
you said Lee Sejin was reported missing, right?
I think so.
Could you check Lee Sejin's registered address
and her parent's contact information for me?
Sure.
Thank you.
Where are you going?
What is the reason that
you wanted to see me?
Please
stop Seungmin.
You are the only person
who's capable of doing that.
Could you tell me
why I should do that?
You know him well, right?
He never gets off track from his plan.
But now,
he is intentionally getting off track.
Because of you.
You're still
in love with him, right?
He is too.
You have to
let me know
how all of this started.
[TWO YEARS AGO]
[PRO BONO LAWYER HAN YEONJU]
They are
not human beings.
What will you do?
I will pay you back.
I will pay you back
no matter what.
No matter what?
That's a risky statement to make.
I mean it.
Well then,
let's do something together.
If you do it,
I'll consider all your debts paid.
Go murder someone.
It's been handled. We'll take care of it today.
Yeonju
saw a video of Ingyo members
who tried to escape and ended up getting murdered.
But the video was too dark to use as conclusive evidence.
The location couldn't be specified,
and the informant got murdered later.
The informant was
the Secretary General of the Ilsim Foundation.
[SWEET APPLE FARM, 14TH STREET 11, CHEONGURO, PAJUSI]
This way.
[SWEET APPLE FARM]
[DIRECTOR OH]
I am so sorry…
[BROTHER]
[YOUNGER SISTER]
She's calling me.
Are you on your way? I'm waiting with Minjae.
Seungmin…
I am sorry…
Sorry…
My chair…
[BROTHER]
The tear…
Yeonju!
Seungmin,
I guess she told you first.
Sorry, I should have told you first.
Yeonju
is pregnant.
So we wish to move the wedding forward.
Why, what's going on?
He used to own a fruit store,
but he started selling the fruit from his truck
since his business didn't go well.
The brake wasn't working
because the truck was so old.
Are you okay?
Yeonju
had no reason to be there at that hour.
Okay.
Minjae,
let me do it.
I will do it.
No.
You haven't even slept a bit. Go get some rest.
Seungmin.
There was no password?
No, why?
Yeonju never shared the password, not even with me.
What's going on?
This laptop…
I bought this for her three years ago
when she got her lawyer license.
But…
this hard disk is from 2019.
Someone
must have replaced the hard disk.
Pro bono…
When are you going to grow up?
You and I, we're rich
thanks to our parents.
And I became a lawyer to work pro bono.
Hey, move your office
to a better one.
The building next door looks nice.
Seungmin.
During the Joseon Dynasty,
do you know where Sinmungo* was located? (Large drum used to register petitions)
It was inside
Changdeokgung Palace.
King Yeongjo copied King Taejong's idea and installed the Sinmungo.
But he built it inside the palace.
Think of the commoners
who had to go into the palace guarded by soldiers.
Could they really have beaten the drum?
It was only for show.
What are you trying to say?
If my office was in a fancy building,
people who need free legal help won't be able to come.
That's what I'm saying.
Hey…
But still,
you can't even afford a nice chair?
Green duct tape.
This still works fine.
Yeah, right.
Are you on your way?
I'm waiting with Minjae.
Seungmin…
My chair…
The chair…
[ILSIM FOUNDATION ACCOUNTING LIST]
These bastards killed Yeonju.
They killed her, those bastards…
Those *
They did…
Minjae…
I'm going to kill them all.
Minjae, wait!
Those *
Pull yourself together!
Minjae, this won't serve as conclusive evidence against her killers!
- Yeonju is gone. - Wait!
Then what am I supposed to do?
What
can we do?
Minjae, please. Minjae!
Minjae, calm down please.
Minjae, I understand. I understand.
I know how much she meant to you.
But she was also
my one and only family.
Minjae.
We must keep calm.
We should be rational.
That way, we can get back
at those murderers who killed her.
Let's calm down.
Since then,
we started to collect evidence against Ingyo.
Your father
is number two in Ingyo.
Let me ask you
this one question.
As far as I know,
the professor did not kill my father.
Who did that?
I never really told Seungmin,
but I have evidence
regarding the death of Mayor Yu.
I can't provide you with more details.
I am sorry.
I'm at Han Seungmin's house.
This is it.
Goodbye.
Minji.
We might get exposed.
If you don't want to end up like Yeonsung or Sejin,
please take care of yourself.
Yes?
Sir.
You could have just called me. What brings you here?
I heard the tea here tastes great.
May I have a cup of tea?
You've been working here
for around one year, right?
It's been
a little over eight months.
I thought you wanted to go back to Seoul?
You're credentials are quite impressive.
It is not a decision I can make.
I guess they'll call me if I do my best.
For me, I can't really go back to Seoul.
Now that I am the head prosecutor here,
I'm doing well here.
So
I'm thinking of
settling here for good.
I see.
Here, we have our own rules.
So
you shouldn't try to change the rules
when you're only going to stay here for a while.
No, that was--
I can't
make your future bright,
but I can definitely make it dark.
What's good is good, no?
One of them might work,
but nothing is guaranteed.
Be careful.
Will he be okay?
There's no noise
so it seems fine so far.
It's even making me nervous.
Why is Professor Han
so obsessed with this?
I don't know.
But I'm sure about one thing though.
What is it?
Professor Han
is not thinking of coming back.
What do you mean?
He's never said a word about
how he's going to get out once he's done.
Ah, that's true.
People who made or watched that file
are all dead.
How many more people have to die?
Please make me one more
of the third key.
This
belongs to the Chairman Yu Hyeonil.
That * has gone too far!
Have them issue live rounds to the night guards
Playing nice never got me anything.
This is too much.
If I don't do it,
they won't stop.
I may need to kill them all.
Innocent people
are dead!
