The Court Murder Case
Assigned To The Third Case Detective Jang
Look at this.
What's happened, in this sacred court?
This is so...
What?
Why is it...
Why does it look so much like a real person?
The head...
Someone hit his head so hard it fractured.
What was used to hit his head?
(Polite)
Yeah.
Hello. I'm the detective's assistant, Lee Jinwoo.
Detective's Assistant Lee Jinwoo
This is the file about all five suspects.
- Detective's assistant? / - Yes.
- Nice to meet you. / - Nice to meet you.
You look exactly like me when I was young.
- Thank you. / - Sure.
It's an honour.
Let's do a good job today.
Okay.

The defendant for Son Jang's concrete murder case.
25 minutes before the second trial would have begun,
he was found dead in the courtroom.
Estimated time of death is between 9:15AM and 9:55AM.
The defendant in a murder case was murdered in the courtroom?
They must've thought, "I am your judge. Bang, bang, bang."
What is all this?
Who are you to order us around?
I'm so busy.
In a sacred court, who would dare...
Attention.
Attention!
Attention, suspects.
Suddenly an army unit
Who are you?
Who are you to...
His clothes are so worn, he must be a beggar.
I'm Detective Jang, the person in charge of this case.
All of you are suspects in today's case.
- Suspects? / - Yes.
- What... / - I'm a suspect?
I'm part of the security management unit.
You are a suspect!
Do you have any evidence?
That's right, you're a lawyer. Say something!
The attorney for the suspect...?
Do you know who I am?
You think you can shout because you're a detective?
Wait a minute, my taser gun...
A detective doesn't carry a taser gun.
The detective must be insane
Detectives carry taser guns?
This'll be a front-page story.
[Exclusive] Famous detective, Jang, threatens to use taser gun in investigation
A taser gun?
Be quiet.
In order to investigate all of you thoroughly,
we will move to a different spot.
Who dared to do this in a courtroom?
Meeting the suspects
I'm meant to be getting a scoop, what is all this?
The first suspect. Witness Park.
42 years old, female.
Co-CEO of Dookdak Construction.
Jeon Minkyo's ex-wife and witness at the first trial.
The second suspect. Lawyer Joo.
45 years old, female.
Court-appointed lawyer representing Jeon Minkyo.

45 years old, male.
Security officer in charge of Jeon Minkyo.
The fifth suspect.
Who is this old man?
Sir.
Excuse me...
I think he's asleep.
He's wearing a hat too.
(Shh)
He's suspicious.
Please remove your mask and hat.
Who...?
I'm questioning you now.
- You're in trouble now. / - Who are you?
You don't know him?
Father Jang. Father Jang.
- Aren't you the candidate? / - Candidate 1.
The presidential candidate?
Father Jang.
What are you doing here?
I'm the presidential candidate in the 21st election, Father Jang.
The fifth suspect. Father Jang.
55 years old, male. Politician.
A father who lost his son because of the victim.
My heart is pounding so much that I can't even talk well.
Why is the bereaved of Son Jang's case here...?
He's someone...
that I wanted to kill with my own two hands.
That's why...
- The court... / - You didn't, right?
I left him to the court.
How are you related to Jeon Minkyo?
He's actually the husband of my niece from my wife's side.
He's her ex-husband.
Niece's ex-husband.
We are family.
- Wait. / - Niece...
He's my uncle.
Niece-In-Law
Uncle-In-Law
Then your relationship with Jeon Minkyo Is...
We got divorced.
We were business partners.
He was your co-CEO,
you must be happy that he's dead.
- What? / - Right?
- You must be happy. / - Rather than being happy...
He was a handful, so...
I bet you wanted to kill him.
I had to clean up all his messes.
Lots of problems, due to being business partners?
We just have to interrogate you, and everything comes out.
No, well... Guard and Lawyer know about this, don't you?
- In the first trial... / - Yes, I saw you.
I was a witness.
You were the witness in the first trial.
If this suddenly happened, does it mean the trial is over?
In that case, Lawyer Joo.
Yes, Jeon Minkyo is my client.
I represent him.
How did you become his lawyer?
- My husband. / - He was assigned to me.
- You're a court-appointed lawyer? / - Yes, that's right.
I was given his case.
Nobody wanted his case.
Since I'm the best among them, the case was given to me.
Did you change your name?
Aren't you Mature Joo?
Mature Joo?
I'm preparing to take the bar exam.
This person perhaps...?
It's your 10th year.
For breaking Article 319 from Criminal Law 36,
you can be imprisoned for up to $5,000...
- Mature... / - Mature?
(News to me)
Aren't you Mature Joo?
Why do I know Mature Joo?
Are you cursing right now?
I know someone who's aspiring to be a lawyer.
Aspiring? How cute.
Anyway, so you didn't know him prior to the case?
Not at all.
He was just my client.
All that I know about him is that
he was a heinous murderer bastard.
He's dead, but it's still sad.
Even his lawyer didn't trust him.
Why is that sad?!
- Sorry. / - Yes, it's not sad.
I wasn't thinking straight.
"Why is that sad?!"
Concluding that it's not sad
Reporter Ahn.
I'm Reporter Ahn, a reporter who works for Oh MZ News.
Jeon Minkyo...
There's a lot of fake news there.
That's how we make a living.
I'm here to see if there's anything unique about Jeon Minkyo.
We don't have any special relationship.
So you've never met him before?
We did since I came during the first trial too.
But I don't know him personally.
- Really? / - Yes.
Good. Next is Guard Key.
Salute!
- Where are you... / - Are you in the navy?
I love cameras.
Thought he was an idol
I'm from Saoul Central Court's security management unit.
I'm the officer in charge of Jeon Minkyo, Guard Key.
The security officer in charge?
Were you assigned to him, or did you actually know him?
In my mind, he was just a heinous murderer.
Nothing more or less.
If you're in charge of his safety, you should've protected him.
What is this?
You're right! He's primarily responsible!
- You didn't protect him... / - That's not true!
Why is everyone so loud?
If I say no, I mean it. Don't push me.
Detective, his uniform looks weird.
This is nothing.
Is that urine?
- What?! / - No, so this...
Isn't that blood?
A man bumped into me and spilled his coffee on me.
- Coffee? / - Some man?
Yes, some man.
Isn't it cup ramyeon?
You can smell it. It's coffee.
No, I'm fine.
- Please smell it. / - No, thank you.
Smell it!
It could be urine.
He might have wet his pants.
Lawyer Joo's Claim: They could be urine marks
I'm going insane.
Do your job as a lawyer and sniff it.
I don't want to do it.
The dog nose technique:
That's coffee?
Fails
Yes, it is.
It smells quite sweet.
Will get confirmation in time
Firstly...
the victim's estimated time of death
is between 9:15AM and 9:55AM.
What you were doing during the time of death is very important.
Let's start with Father Jang.
I had some business with the judge.
The judge?
A bribe?
I didn't get to meet the judge, but I was waiting in the office.
You didn't meet the judge? What time was it?
I think I was waiting there since around 9:30AM.
Okay.
What about you, Witness Park?
I wasn't at the court at that time.
I met my ex-husband in the medical room around 9:10AM,
then I rushed over to my office because of work.
So you went to your office before coming back here?
Yes, that's right.
What about you, Reporter?
I arrived at the court at around 9:35AM.
I was walking around to check if there was anything to report.
You didn't meet him during those 20 minutes?
I might've seen him while I was walking around?
You might have?
Reporters who do their job sloppily like her...
You're calling me sloppy?
They are the ones who create fake news.
Busy fingers
That's why...
- So you have to check her hands. / - "Father Jang."
"Bribery...
suspicion."
I'm pressing 'Enter'.
Even though she said she was searching for news to report on,
Did she come to the court for news coverage alone?
it's weird that she came early and hung out at the court.
Lawyer Joo.
I arrived at the court at 9:50AM.
You arrived at the court at 9:50AM?
Yes. I arrived, then I went to the waiting room to meet Jeon Minkyo.
I went, but he wasn't there.
You arrived at 9:50AM,
but he wasn't there?
He should have been there at that time.
Seriously... how do they even manage the court?
Oh, that's right.
He wasn't there either.
What were you doing?
After leaving the office, I took the victim to the room
and was waiting there.
Didn't I tell you that someone spilled coffee on me?
I went to wash my shirt at 9:25AM.
Then I heard there was a ruckus because of reporters.
So I was summoned there right away.
You left your post because of the ruckus?
I also had something to do for a moment at 9:45AM.
(Again?)
So I went to the staff changing room and went back.
Why were you always gone?
This is too suspicious.
Wasn't he murdered in 20 minutes?
- Where were you? / - What were you doing?
A smoke break?
Cigarette time?
Sorry.
Honestly, this wouldn't have happened
if Guard had done his job.
He said he had other things to do and such.
What other job did he have to do?
- Let's move. / - Let's go.
Go ahead and search my place.

There's a place that I'm curious about.
I'll follow my reporter's intuition...
Really? There's a place you're curious about?
Yes.
I know nothing about you, Lawyer.

If I were a bit younger,

I wouldn't have even gone to the court.
I would've sorted him out with my own hands.
I'm glad you divorced him.

You've survived longer than expected.
I-I-I think this is the weapon.
A blood-covered gavel and
His eyes... his eyes are open.
a dead Jeon Minkyo with open eyes
It must've been sudden.
Oh, shi... it feels like he's going to move.
Oh, why is this so- Why is this so real?
Since his eyes are open, it must've been one hit.
What is this?
Read it.
It's a request to dismiss his lawyer.
Did she get angry when she saw this and hit him?
He was bitten by something?
That's it. That's it.
A bite mark on his neck?
Father Jang's Living Room
This is Uncle's room, right?
This place is suspicious.
He's my uncle, but that man murdered his son.
Who would want to kill Minkyo the most?
That's why I went to his room.
And somehow...
Wait, so he had risks?
What is Father Jang's Achilles heel? His son!
Name: Son Jang
Age: Born in 2000

and panic disorder
Oh, they look so close.
I bet he wanted to murder his son's murderer.

What is this?
He left a phone in this?
Father Jang's secret(?) phone

It's this car.
This yellow car.
He sold this car right away?
Notebook?
What?
Oh, gosh. Two or three times.
A ledger?
He did a lot.
It's over for him now.
A candidate's corruption...?
Guard Key's Lodgings
If only he'd protected Minkyo properly,
this wouldn't have happened.
He should've been by Minkyo's side as his security officer.
Anyway, I'm most suspicious of him for now.

Witness Park's Office
Jeon Minkyo's Office
Witness Park and Jeon Minkyo were co-CEOs.
But I think that the offices of both CEOs
are extremely different.
Jeon Minkyo and Witness Park's office
What?
Firstly, Jeon Minkyo's office
What is this? He only focused on his work?
Yeah, this room is just...
Just full of tools related to work
What is this?
And Witness Park's office
What could this be?
She requested advance payment.
An advance receipt for $18 million
$18 million.
"We have issues meeting deadlines because of Minkyo."
Communications between Father and Witness

There's nothing that relates her to Jeon Minkyo.
I have to find the connection.

These guys are evil.
Reporter Ahn.
There are articles written by Reporter Ahn on the site.
Under her profile is someone called 'Reporter Black'.
Reporter Black? Who is that?
That person's articles received a lot of views.
Everything written is so controversial that it made people read it.
They wrote an article that Minkyo embezzled $18 million.
[Exclusive] "$18 million embezzlement" Where does killer Jeon Minkyo's evil stop?
They even wrote that the motive of murder was money.
Horror! Son Jang's concrete burial. The root is... money?
They wrote many articles that tarnished Minkyo's reputation.
Amid the public uproar over the peculiar incident, people are wondering why a CEO would commit such a serious crime. The answer is simple. It was a crime motivated by money.
Also
"Sex scandal"?

This is like a power that is opposing Minkyo.
I think it's that kind of force.
So I looked around.

She met the defendant on January 1st while drinking?
"Jeon Minkyo was drinking, and I was not."
Yeah, I should get a picture of this.
A scoop?
Yes. A witness application form.

I think I have to check for those signs.

Guard Key.
He's suspicious too.
And the next cabinet over
In the pocket of the cleaning clothes
Gosh, they had these keys?
A bundle of keys
Also...
Who is this? Jegal Chungso?
(Name could be translated as "I clean")
Jegal Chungso's diary?

Painkiller?
A bottle of painkiller
Something is suspicious. It's fishy.
Oh? Guard Key.
Why weren't you here for the commotion earlier, you fucker!
Head of Security
"Why weren't you here for the commotion?"
I got you, Guard.
What was he doing, that he didn't go over?
The 1st site inspection ends
The time for inspection is over.
What does this mean...
Wait. No.
Hold on.
Let's take a picture.
Detective, we have to go now.
Everybody is dead now.
Arrest all five of them now!
Understood, sir.
This is the end.
Why is he sitting up, and what is he looking at?
I sat him like that.
I think he's pointing at the criminal now.
Who is the criminal that killed him?
Combining all the clues
Detective. I'm thirsty, so I'll have something to drink now.
This is Zero.
Exhausted from the site inspection
It's zero calories, but tastes the same as the original.
Recharging their energy
I feel energised now.
Did you find a lot?
The briefing based on the clues they found begins
Clear.
- Not too little. / - Yes.
- Okay. / - Go, Uncle. Fighting!
I'll keep an eye on you.
(Strong journalistic spirit)
Each and every word.
What did you investigate?
Uncle, fighting!
The first place I went was to check Minkyo's body.
When Minkyo was in the waiting room, he was tied up with a rope.
His legs were still hurt, so he was in a wheelchair.
However,
someone moved him from that room to the courtroom
and turned it into a crime scene.
His head was hit with a gravel.
That's why he was bleeding.
He didn't bleed too much.
A relatively small(?) amount of blood
I don't think this wound
was the cause of his death.
That was what I thought of the situation.
While he was pushed to the courtroom from the waiting room,
he didn't make any sound. This means that
he might've been in a state where he couldn't resist.
That's how he naturally went there.
The fact that his head was hit with a gavel... where was it?
- The judge's bench. / - It was the bench.
I think that has meaning.
It's a show?
I thought it was a message.
"I am punishing you with my judgement."
That is the resentment he was trying to show.
There was a grudge?
The fact that he died with his eyes open
shows he was in shock.
- Shock. / - Poison.
What is it then?
You don't know, do you? Wait.
Next, I went to Witness Park's room.
This family.
Such a beautiful relationship.
A family worse than others
This is interesting.
These documents were on her table.
- That's how business people are. / - Advance money document.
It's a normal document saying 30% was paid upfront.
We confirm that the $18 million advance for the above construction has been paid, as of December 1st, 2023.
However, this was reported not long ago.
Jeon Minkyo embezzled as much as $18 million.
[Exclusive] "$18 million embezzlement" Where does killer Jeon Minkyo's evil stop?
paid $18 million in advance to construct the 1st Fungmu Biovalley plant worth $60 billion,
Where did the money go?
He took so much.
Father Jang backed us to get the project from Fungmu...
(Those loose lips...)
I didn't back anyone.
We have to be fair.
We won the bid for it. Fairly.
(A plot between family members)
I want an influential uncle too.
Really?
After that, I found their divorce agreement.
Divorce agreement.
- As you know, both of them... / - That happened later, right?
They got a divorce.
What was the reason for divorce?
Reason for divorce?
- I will show that to you. / - Okay.
This is a health report.
Okay.
This is a medical report for both of them.
Medical examination results
There's something worth noting on the report.
Even though Witness is young,
her glucose level is high.
Her glucose level is at 220.
She has diabetes.
It's now time for me to get my insulin shot.
Minkyo is allergic to seafood.
Blue coloured fish, crustaceans, and more.
That has nothing to do with anything.
He has that allergy.
There's one more thing.
A third singularity?
Based on the medical report,
Ovarian Function Test (AMH) Diagnosis: Normal
Witness is very fertile.
However, Minkyo...
He can't?
He can't have children. He is infertile.
He has azoospermia.
They separated a month after that. After these results...
Isn't this reason enough to get divorced?
A month before that...
He should've told me before we got married.
After that, Witness had no choice...
I was shocked by this.
She has a box of insulin and syringes.
An insulin bottle & syringes
Remember when I mentioned that Jeon Minkyo
went to the courtroom without resisting?
You would remember if you know how to socialise.
Now, also...
It's not like that.
She even has a box of instant coffee.
I searched the box of coffee
and someone left a document in it.
Some kind of paper inside
I guess it's a document that has to be hidden.
I took the document out
and there were two pages.
Two documents
The first is a termination of partnership contract.
Termination of partnership contract.
They were co-CEOs, but this will terminate their cooperation.
All of the management rights
A (Jeon Minkyo) and B (Witness Park) will terminate all business contracts on January 1, 2024, and A will seize all of Park's shares. From the time B resigns as CEO, all liabilities and responsibilities related to the business will be transferred entirely to A.
and shares that Witness holds right now...
She will give them up?
She'll give them up, and transfer everything to Minkyo.
This seems like a fair and mutual contract, doesn't it?
(What about it?)
It's a contract anyway.
The other document is a waiver.
A waiver?
- But he isn't declaring his intention like normal, / - Why?
in a general meeting of shareholders.
He expressed his intentions in the form of a waiver.
So those are documents saying that Witness will let go
of all of her managerial rights?
Yes, that's right.
Let's describe this situation in simple words.
"I'll back off.
I confirm I will take legal responsibility for all civil and criminal affairs, as well as personnel measures.
In particular, I will definitely take responsibility for the finances.
You're responsible for the company."
Regardless of whether this is for good or bad intentions,
he embezzled $18 million not long after that.
We don't know where or how the money was used.
If we find out the answer to that, we'll know if
Minkyo moved according to Witness's instruction.
If she wanted to keep that a secret,
she would be happy if he were killed.
I only checked her place.
You must've hated her so much that you only checked on her.
Initially, I wanted to clear her name...
Stop. Please sit down.
The angry Witness Park is coming
- This family... / - Witness.
- Witness. / - Go ahead, Witness.
Reporter Ahn.
- I'm curious about her. / - I'm very curious about her.
I am very curious about her.
I entered her room and found a note on her monitor.
"Mother and father, I'll protect my sister."
Her screen's background is a picture of her and her sister.
Reporter Ahn's sister
Did you fail to protect your sister?
Where is she now?
I'm sure she's fine.
You're sure she's fine?
In heaven?
No, my sister...
Jeon Minkyo is unrelated.
When it's about family, you get stuck, right?
Usually, when you talk about your family,
if your sister was murdered, you would feel a grudge
it could make you hit someone's head with a gavel.
Did he kill your sister?
- I'll reveal everything in time. / - Okay. Good.
Next is Guard Key.
Yes.
(An old military slogan/saying)
The unit that can even capture the devil.
- Marine Corps. / - Marine Corps.
Oh, really? I can tell.
Marine Corps.
But you were dishonourably discharged, weren't you?
He was found guilty at the military court.
A military court conviction
Guilty?
Why?
He suffers from anger management issues.
He hit his successors.
Really?
That's why he was dishonourably discharged.
He's holding back his anger even now.
We have to be careful, he could hit us.
Be careful, everyone
How could I hold it, when people keep acting up?
Look at that.
People who misbehave!
Violent turn
Should be punished!
Do you hit people until they get hurt?
Anger management problems from the dorm to the court
That case became disclosed, not by coincidence,
but because someone reported it as assault.
He must have wanted to murder that person too, right?
Don't tell me...
He was searching for someone's identity.
He got help from a private agency.
"The person could not be found."
Results from detective agency commissions
The person could not be found.
"Their identity could not be ascertained."
The reporter of violence
"The reporter of violence."
So I Imagined this situation.
What if both of them met at the courtroom
as defendant and security officer?
What if I had met the person who reported me for assault?
What if that person were my ex-husband?
Was he a marine too?
I don't know.
My husband...
You don't even know that?
I know nothing about him.
We got married right away after two months.
- I was head over heels. / - Two months is very quick.
All I know is that we went to the same university.
Anyway, I'm very suspicious of Guard Key.
So I took his phone that was left in the court.
Oh, Guard Key.
I read his texts.
Didn't he say there was a ruckus at the court?
- Because of the reporters. / - When that happened,
he didn't go to the scene.
Huh? He didn't?
"What were you doing? Why did you not come?"
"What were you doing during the ruckus?"
What were you doing?
- Were you murdering someone? / - What time was that?
I left around 9:35AM or 9:36AM.
It's the perfect time.
- That's perfect. / - Where were you?
You said that he died before 9:50AM, didn't you?
Estimated Time Of Death January 16th, 9:15~9:55
So he had more than enough time.
I was in the changing room.
- Changing room? / - What were you doing there?
I had something to do.
What was it?
- I'll investigate. / - It was something personal.
Let's look into it.
Now, let's move on to my uncle, Father Jang.
He kept on talking about Minkyo getting drugged.
A drug theory
Getting injected.
He said that he was suspicious of me because of insulin, right?
That's not true.
However, I found the drug.
- You did? / - It's because
he could've screamed in the court
but he moved to the courtroom without making any resistance.
So I wondered what caused him to faint.
I kept on thinking of that and searched the rubbish bin.
I found several vials of painkiller.
Painkiller?
There were many bottles of painkillers.
It means he passed out because of injections of painkiller.
He might've even been dead,
but Minkyo was dragged to the court and was hit
by a gavel just to leave a message.
And so, in that case, if that is true,
there should be evidence of injection, right?
So I went to the body...
On the back of his neck...
I found a needle mark on the back of his neck.
That's it. That's it.
Found it
That has to be a needle mark.
Marks from a needle?
Clear. Case closed, right?
All we have to do is to find out who injected him.
Wasn't it you?
Isn't that from being injected with insulin?
If it were me, I would have used insulin instead.
Actually a confession?
"I'm good at that."
That's it. I did a good job, didn't I, Detective?
Next is Reporter Ahn.
Firstly, since they talked about the injection,
to add more information to that...
I even found the syringe and needle in the trash can.
Disposable syringe.
I found the syringe in the medical room.
A used syringe in the bin
In the cabinet, there are many syringes.
New syringes
I told you that it's not me.
There's a probability that someone took it from this room.
Guard would fit perfectly.
However, those who use insulin are experts at that too.
Suddenly a syringe thief?
So we can't put aside the fact that it could be Witness.
I even tried to put the needle into his neck.
It fits.
Ah, you... stabbed the body?
Shocked
You killed him twice.
You're so detailed.
"To a reporter, fact checking is more important than life" - Reporter Ahn -
You're a professional.
I need to get clear clarification, shouldn't I?
I thought that he was alive.
The real cause of death was Reporter Ahn!
You're so determined.
Let's move on.
I went to the administration as well.
There, I found witness applications.
"The defendant of the above case requests the following witness."
A witness request for the 2nd trial
Kim Daeri.
This person called 'Kim Daeri' applied to be a witness.
Who is Kim Daeri?
I haven't found out who this person is.
Kim Daeri's account number was written too.
A request to view evidence
The relationship between Kim Daeri and Jeon Minkyo.
Why an account number?
Kim Daeri?
I think we can find information about him.
There's something else in the newspaper too.
Did you see this picture?
Where was the newspaper?
It was on the table in the medical room.
Do we have to look for them too?
No. This is a familiar person.
Father Jang?
Lawyer Joo?
- Me? / - There's a familiar person.
- Lawyer Joo? / - Why me?
Why were you with the Fungmu Group's chairman?
Which chairman?
Chairman of Fungmu Group.
Fungmu Group's Chairman Kwak Gokdu and his confidant
Chairman of Fungmu Group?
Lawyer Joo
Who are you, Lawyer Joo?
So you saw that.
So I became suspicious and went to her office.
A picture with the chairman of Fungmu Group.
I looked at the award certificate
and found out that Lawyer Joo wasn't a lawyer,
she was a prosecutor.
From the Saoul Prosecutor's Office
I saw that too.
She was involved in a famous case related to stock manipulation.
She was the prosecutor.
About $10 billion in damages.
The Hantang Stock Scandal: The worst stock manipulation of 2020, ending with no chance of indictment due to Luxury Jang's suicide(?)
Although 3 years have passed, victims are still suffering.
- You know that case, right? / - Yes.
The case was closed with Luxury Jang committing suicide.
I did it. I closed the case.
(Directly involved in closing the case)
Do you know how much I lost because of that?
Victim 1
I lost a lot too...
Victim 2
It's your own fault.
You said that you closed the case, didn't you?
Why did you close the case?
There was a document requesting a reinvestigation.
That's right.
A reinvestigation request
The evidence that he committed suicide is inadequate.
Also, they say a big company might be behind this case.
So there was a request to reinvestigate.
But can you see this? A big 'X' on the paper.
Why did you do that?
Because I don't need to see it any more.
Why? Because it's not your money?
She got a bribe.
Anyway, he committed suicide.
Fungmu must've incited his death and bribed...
"Unable to indict defendant due to suicide."
If you close the case that way,
there's no reason to continue the investigation.
Shameless
Because it's clearly done.
Do you know how many people
suffered because you closed the case that way?
Those who invested are at fault for having poor judgement.
Mature Joo...
What a scumbag.
Now, now. Calm down.
That's the reason prosecutors in our country are problematic.
If I'm elected as president...
I will start...
You're suddenly campaigning here?
"Father Jang's Statement on Prosecution."
Father Jang. The reformer to prosecution.
Slyly campaigning
That's why I opened Lawyer's email too.
I think she has a close relationship with the Fungmu Group.
Email?
Email. This email.
Emails received by Lawyer Joo
She received an email from Fungmu's secretary office.
- What does it say? / - "We accept your proposal.
Thank you for handling this situation.
You are the head of Fungmu's legal team."
Lawyer Joo leads Fungmu's legal team?
Starting now.
She took the offer to be the head and closed the case.
That's why she took a picture with Fungmu's chairman.
I'm sure you understood when you saw the picture,
but the chairman favours me a lot.
We have a mole right here.
A big company like Fungmu...
Why are you working as a court-appointed lawyer now?
I will reveal that right now.
Regarding Jeon Minkyo...
He wrote a petition to Fungmu Group.
Dookdak Construction's CEO, Minkyo emailed Fungmu Group.
Jeon Minkyo's petition
He requested an industrial waste facility.
How would Fungmu Group react to that?
They wouldn't be happy.
Correct, the Chairman was unhappy.
Wouldn't Minkyo be a pain to them?
So she was instructed
to become an informant and was told to threaten him.
So what happened?
So she sent letters
Deliver threatening package
Appease with $5 million
Threaten expulsion from company
and offered $500,000 as conciliation.
However, if you look here, everything was a failure.
She tried but failed.
She even failed to threaten him.
Is that why she killed him?
Everything failed.
So her VIP client is unhappy.
"The VIP is very unhappy with Minkyo's actions."
"Make it so he never sees the light of day again."
It means, throw him in the slammer.
"Never see light again," could mean prison, but...
The instructions are ambiguous.
No, not at all.
That might be the reason she became his lawyer.
She became his lawyer to put him in an unfavourable spot.
That way, she can make Minkyo rot in prison
or if that fails, she can murder him.
Since Minkyo wanted to dismiss her, she had to murder him.
Let's look at it from a different point of view.
If Minkyo were to walk out free,
everything would be destroyed.
It's true that I'd have a stain in my career.
I would lose the Chairman's confidence.
She would be facing a crisis of losing her position at Fungmu.
I was quite wary about that situation too. So...
(Understands completely)
So I received a call this morning.
Saying he was dismissing me.
Since he told me directly, I was offended.
I came to court to receive his full explanation, but he wasn't there.
That was at 9:50AM?
Yes. I wanted to meet him, but he wasn't there.
- He wasn't there? / - No, he wasn't.
Then I heard about his death.
If what she said is true,
he was dead before 9:50AM.
The reason I think what she said is true
is she might be a scumbag,
but she doesn't seem like a killer.
And if she was the murderer,
would she use the gavel to leave a message?
I don't think she has enough of a grudge to do that.
She's just a scumbag.
Next, I turned on her laptop.
There are files called 'Pet'. What are those?
Pet 1, 2, 3.
- Pet? / - Yes.
They're my friends.
There are fish in the aquarium. How many fish do you have?
I had three fish in the aquarium.
Don't you have the same aquarium in the office?
- Yes. / - It's empty though.
Where are the fish?
Did you kill them?
Why would I do that?
They are meaningless, aren't they?
My pets just died.
No, this is suspicious.
Good job, Reporter.
Take your seat again.
Well done.
(Slyly trying to shake hands)
- Okay. / - Here comes Lawyer Joo.
The thoroughly exhausted(?) Lawyer Joo moves
I bet Minkyo has something against Lawyer.
Since I've been exposed...
What?
What are you taking out?!
Are you trying to promote yourself here?
I'm the head of Fungmu's legal team, Lawyer Joo.
Number One Street.
Jeon Minkyo...
Lawyer Joo's true nature
Now... I also found the picture of Reporter's sister.
It looks like she treasures and loves her sister a lot.
Do you provide support for her life too?
Since I love my sister, I do take care of her.
You have to help her with her life and give financial support too.
She's a nice sister.
I also took a look at Reporter Ahn's salary statement.
She's very poor.
Her salary isn't even enough for herself.
A monthly wage of about $1,600
Then how does she manage to take care of her sister too?
That must be tough.
It made me realise that your life is very tough.
It's because I love her.
So I took a look at her computer.
It's Oh MZ, right? I visited Oh MZ's website.
She has two accounts.
One is under her name
and the other is Reporter Black.
Do you know who that is?
Who is that?
Looking at her bankbook statement...
Reporter Ahn.
There's pay for Reporter Ahn and for Reporter Black.
Reporter Ahn Reporter Ahn Reporter Ahn Reporter Black Reporter Black Reporter Black Reporter Black
Reporter Black contributes to Reporter Ahn's account?
Really?
They were the same person?
She's two faced?
She has two characters?
I thought it was another person!
Reporter Ahn's double life
The amount of money she earns as Reporter Black
is way more compared to what she earns as Reporter Ahn.
Massive amounts compared to Reporter Ahn
She's poor as Reporter Ahn.
Continuing from that...
This is a thumbnail from a YouTube video
"Exclusive. Jeon Minkyo's Sex Scandal. Scary."
Jeon Minkyo's incredible(?) video
(A derogatory term for malicious and slanderous YouTubers)
Do you know about the Cyber Wrecker Channel?
The one that we hear about often?
- I hate that. / - Where do you think they got that information?
She gave it to them?
Reporter Ahn, I didn't think you were like that.
I went through her messenger on her computer.
I saw her conversation with the channel's owner.
Cyber Wrecker Criminal Dispatch?
"This is only worth $30,000? It's Jeon Minkyo's sex scandal?"
"Simple stuff isn't that valuable.
Even $30,000 is a lot for this."
She leaked that information to get $30,000.
That is worth $30,000?
She leads a double life.
Uncle, you should get rid of people like her.
That's why we need to have influence in the media.
He said he has to influence the media.
"Father Jang looks down on media
and deems influence necessary."
Media is supposed to be free.
This kind of trashy report...
"Korea's media is trash."
Now, listen.
She's very sensitive about getting an exclusive scoop, isn't she?
That's the kind of person she is.
She needs exclusives. She needs to create exclusives!
How is that related to Jeon Minkyo?
I am also suspicious of Guard.
So I checked his cabinet in the changing room.
- I found nothing there. / - There's nothing there.
No clues
However, I found a cleaner's uniform in the next cabinet.
In the pocket of the uniform...
Who is this? Jegal Chungso?
I found a notebook and a bunch of keys.
These are the keys to enter all rooms in the court.
Keys for the entire court
The notebook is labelled as news coverage book.
Is this yours?
That thief.
That's mine.
You answered without hesitation, but why is this here?
Why is it in the cleaner's uniform?
I can't walk around freely as a reporter.
You even steal.
So I wore the uniform while walking around.
I'm sorry. I apologise.
You wore the uniform, went to the medical room, and used
- the keys to steal drugs? / - No, I didn't.
I told you that she wants to get an exclusive scoop, right?
That's why she wore the uniform to go there
to commit the crime.
She wants to report that scoop first.
She killed someone just to get the scoop?
(Enticed)
Perhaps Minkyo was aware of the transaction.
- No, it's the sister. / - It's the sister.
Why are you implicating my sister?
It's her sister. We have to locate her sister.
The first place I went was Father Jang's living room.
You're going after the presidential candidate?
The first thing I saw as soon as I entered
was how close he was with his son.
They look alike, don't they?
A picture with his father
But I looked at his negative strategy against his rivals.
Based on what was written in this document,
Father Jang's Achilles heel is his son.
So I realised that his son could be an obstacle to his victory.
That crossed my mind.
Did he kill his son?
- When you're in politics... / - I doubt it.
even my in-laws and distant relatives
would be investigated and end up getting attacked.
So I decided to take it all.
So no matter what they do...
You were trying to do that, but failed to control your son.
I even found a phone that looks like a secret one.
A second phone.
It wasn't Secretary 1 but Secretary 2 who told him
A text from 'Secretary 2'
that his son was at a club at that moment.
He loved to go to clubs.
You must've been quite anxious about your son.
Or you wanted to join him?
Okay...
The presidential candidate's midlife crisis
A middle-aged clubber?
He said it.
He looks like he'd love clubs.
Don't talk nonsense.
It's because this is a very sensitive period.
Just because someone young had fun at a club,
I would get attacked mercilessly.
So I had to keep checking on him. I had no other choice.
Think logically.
But he might end up using drugs when he goes to clubs.
Okay.
The first trial for Son's murder case was on January 9th.
Son Jang's Concrete Burial Case
Jan 2nd: Son dies (Between 12:00 and 1:00AM) Jan 9th: The 1st trial / Jan 16th: The 2nd trial
We learnt that this case occurred on January 2nd.
But in the secret phone,
he sent a car to be sold at a used car market on the 2nd.
He was about to sell a car?
He has an application called 'Hey Dealer' on that phone.
Why would he put that car up for sale
on the morning of January 2nd?
- Why January 2nd of all days? / - Why?
- Why? / - Why is that?
I just sold the car that I wanted to sell at the right time.
You're so precise.
So the date is just a coincidence?
I kept on feeling bad about it.
That yellow car.
You'll know this if you look at the picture.
You wouldn't be able to do that if you were sad.
(Very suspicious)
You lost your son, but you sold the car?
You'd just lost your son.
The heartless father cared more about his car than his son's life?
You found a lot of evidence just to save yourself.
Who are you most suspicious of, Detective Jang?
Who will get the detective's vote?
Who is it?
Is it the father who is blinded by status?
Or is it Witness Park, who is blinded by money?
Or...
is it the 3 deranged people?
A colourful set of 3
- Why did you put us together? / - Why are we the same?
Who said I went deranged?
Why are we a trio?
(Upset)
I was never deranged.
I believe that this act was done by someone
who has been planning this crime for years.
It's Key, then.
Guard Key, who was pursuing the reporter of violence?
That is my opinion.
You can't escape my eyes!
Suddenly? Suddenly?
You can't escape my eyes!
Suddenly? Suddenly?
You chose the wrong person!
- Why did you kill him? / - Why did you kill him?
Insulin.
I guess I must have a suspicious face.
A suspicious face?
People suspect me all the time.
They always make wrong decisions.
Well, it's fine for me.
Because I'm innocent.
I have no reason to dirty my hands with blood.
I've been living a great life.
So why would I give up on this lifestyle?
Alright, let's get back out there.
Back to the site to find the clues they missed
We need to capture the culprit. Do you understand?
The scene reveals the criminal
- Okay. / - Let's go!
I have to go first.
There are lots of places I haven't checked yet.
Okay. For me...
Sorry, but if you have your phone, please pass it to me.
- Lawyer Joo. / - Mature Joo!
Yes?
Do you have your phone?
Yes, I do.
Please give it to me.
- Here you go. / - Thanks.
- What is this? / - Who is that?
Who are you...?
That's a different person.
Call log?
It's Kim Daeri.
Kim Daeri was in the call log.
Kim Daeri, who agreed to become a witness?
Why does she have his number?
Why is Kim Daeri in here?
She has Kim Daeri's number?
Concrete murder case.
The construction site where Son Jang's body was found
It's definitely connected to Son's death.
Bent iron pillars?
Detective!
Please look at this.
What is it?
Calling the detective
What is it? Why?
Father said that he got rid of the yellow car because he's sick of it.
It was in an accident.
He left this... So Father Jang...
(Daeri means designated)
I think Kim Daeri is a designated driver.
I was thinking about it all this time.
I think it's the number of a driver.
If he called Kim Daeri, he could request him as a witness.
We can ask him if he's a driver.
Calling Kim Daeri from Lawyer Joo's phone
Hello, this is Kim Daeri.
Hello?
This is Homing Instinct,
the driving company that can take you anywhere.
Y-You're a driver, aren't you?
Yes, that's right.
Ask about January 1st.
On the night of January 1st...
The estimated time of Son Jang's death
Yes.
Do you remember what car you were driving?
Oh, then?
I was on the way to Mr. Jeon Minkyo's office.
- His office? / - Yes.
I waited for a long time, but he wasn't coming out.
So I went in, and I found him asleep.
Where was he?
In the office.
He was in the office?
Yes. I tried waking him up but he wouldn't get up.
Since I still need to get paid,
I left my account number on a piece of paper and left.
That was all you saw? Him?
Ah. I saw a lady leaving as well.
- A lady? / - Where?
Where was she? At the office?
If it's a lady, Witness Park?
Yes, that's right. At around 12:45AM.
12:45AM?
She was the only person I saw.
- Really? / - At 12:45AM.
I see.
Bye.
See?
Son's estimated time of death is between 12AM to 1AM.
Minkyo was deep asleep as he was too drunk.
I think someone else murdered Son.
Minkyo wasn't involved.
He asked Kim Daeri to come to provide his alibi.
You called Kim Daeri?
Yes, we did.
Why didn't you tell us about him?
What were you doing at your office during Son's murder case?
What?
What do you mean, "What"?
- I've never seen that expression before. / - The person you killed.
No, that's not true.
Kim Daeri said he saw you at 12:45AM.
- Kim Daeri is a driver? / - Yes.
- He saw me? / - Yes.
Were you drinking with Jeon Minkyo?
Yes, I was.
I purposely gave him alcohol.
- Purposely? / - Why?
The waiver.
I had to get his thumbprint, didn't I?
You are truly shameless.
So I gave him alcohol.
Then I borrowed his thumb to get his thumbprint.
(Dumbfounded)
I have anger problems, but I'm not even angry, since I'm so flustered.
Suddenly cured of anger issues
I don't get what she's saying.
You got him drunk and left?
I got him drunk, got his thumbprint,
and took the waiver with me.
It means Jeon Minkyo was asleep here until 12:45AM.
The waiver we saw?
Yes. That's right. Minkyo didn't murder Son Jang.
What?
What's with this ahjumma?!
You knew that Minkyo was not Son's murderer
Jeon Minkyo was drinking, and I was not.
I left first at about 10:40 at night.
and just remained silent?
You're a bystander.
You're trash.
Is perjury...
a-a crime?
It is!
Of course it is...
Your taser gun!
I didn't know! Okay!
Yeah, I perjured myself!
I perjured myself! So what?!
But listen to me.
The fact is still the same.
Son died anyway.
He died, but who killed him?
We found out that Minkyo had nothing to do with Son's death.
There's a bent iron pillar
and yellow paint on it.
There's also a picture of Father's yellow car.
When I thought about it...
That phone...
Phone. Phone.
Whose phone is that?
This is Father's secret phone that I mentioned before.
A car dealer app on the phone
Right, the number is here!
Car number
That yellow car.
We can do a search with the plate number.
We can search it right away?
Yes, that's right.
Here it is.
Vehicle information can be checked with the app
What?
Look at that.
On January 2nd...
There's a record of it being fixed.
The front bumper, lights, and the hood.
There's a record of an accident, right?
It means that the car was here on that night.
He was hit and Jeon Minkyo had nothing to do with it.
We did a search on the app
and found out that the car was fixed on January 2nd.
It's Father.
It was Father.
Let me ask you this question, Father Jang.
Did you hit the iron pillar
at this construction site with your yellow car?
You did.
Yeah! I was wondering why there was a yellow stain here.
Machines can't lie
It's on the accident record.
It's all on the record.
Cutting-edge investigative techniques
It wasn't Jeon Minkyo who murdered Son Jang,
he was murdered by Father Jang.
That is so cruel, Uncle.
Have you ever bent this?
It's true!
I-It was my car.
I think he might have accidentally hit Son with his car.
This'll be on the front page.
Smelling a scoop?
- My car... / - You killed your son?
"Blinded by money, Father Jang murders son?"
[Exclusive] Blinded by money(?), Father Jang murders son?
Let's look.
I...
I'm not a lunatic who would intentionally kill my son.
But you murdered him by accident?
You murdered him by accident?
The word 'murder' isn't appropriate.
Was it an accident?
It was an accident.
Ah, what's going on?!
- I just... / - This is crazy.
What is this?
What's the matter?
Come here!
My goodness...
How dare you.
You poked him!
This is blood, isn't it?!
Be careful. You'll die if you get poked!
No. Don't do that.
You fu...
You're getting the death penalty for sure.
Come here! You get the death penalty too!
It's not me!
That shameless face!
The executioner will be busy today.
How could everyone have been planning to kill him?
