(Episode 10)
The photos Yoo Yoon Young gave you...
were screenshots of this footage, weren't they?
You fool.
You're a police detective. How could you conceal evidence...
and lie to your colleagues because of a woman?
Captain, one moment.
Let's check to see if this was manipulated...
Do you think I'd show you guys this without checking first?
Take your hands off the investigation as of this moment.
Return everything!
(Civil Servant ID Card)
We'll search Seo Jung Won's home and office,
so come with me.
You little...
I'll call you.
You have the right to remain silent...
and the right to an attorney.
You're arresting her for the murder?
You can't arrest her without evidence.
We've secured some video footage from the scene...
that shows Ms. Seo fleeing the murder scene.
Please come with us.
I'll send Mr. Moon, the lawyer.
I'll get you out, no matter what.
(Gangha Police Station)
They released me because Jung Won's been arrested, right?
See? I was right.
Jung Won did it.
Anyway, Detective Kim.
I heard you were no longer on the case.
What did you do wrong?
Was the article about you and Jung Won having an affair actually true?
Or did you deliberately hide...
the photos of Jung Won I gave you?
So, that's what you did.
My goodness. How much do you love her...
that you did such a thing?
Because I trusted her.
It sounds like...
you feel betrayed now because you trusted her.
A car's coming in. Please step back.
Step back, please.
- Was it premeditated? - Just a comment, please!
- Was it planned? - Is it true?
- How did it happen? - Why did you kill her?
- Just a comment, please! - Was it premeditated?
Is it true...
that you were at the scene the day Cha Eun Sae was murdered?
You denied it when the police interviewed you initially.
Just like the Jin Myung Sook case, you witnessed the victim, right?
Did you do more than just witness it? Did you kill her?
- Please step aside. - Are you really the killer?
- Step aside. - Why did you do it?
- Why did you go there? - A comment, please!
- Just a comment, please. - Step back, please!
- Ms. Seo! - Look here!
(Gangha Police Station)
(Reporter Seo Jung Won Arrested on Suspicion of Murdering Cha Eun Sae)
I heard you sent Mr. Moon to represent her.
Mr. Moon can't get her out on his own.
Please help her get released.
She did enter the scene, but that's it.
- It wasn't Jung Won. - Even if it was Yoo Yoon Young,
they let her go after questioning her, so we're back to square one.
Even if we can't put Yoon Young behind bars,
please help Jung Won get released.
I know you can do it, Father.
How?
With money, which you always belittled? Or with my power?
Public opinion can render money and power completely useless.
All eyes are on this case at the moment,
so no one can intervene.
If the situation doesn't change, I'll take a hit too.
Whether she's my daughter-in-law...
or my business partner's daughter,
no matter how strong the Queen is,
it's all over once the King gets caught,
so you should help me instead of asking me for help.
The one who planned the murder may be able to get out of this,
but not the person who has blood on their hands.
We must catch the real culprit. It is the only way.
We must catch Mo Soo Rin, no matter what.
Find out everything you can...
about her.
(Mujin Welfare Foundation)
I've managed to prove my innocence, so I'm here to celebrate.
It's such good news, right?
My wife got arrested because of you.
How dare you come here?
Your wife got arrested because she killed Cha Eun Sae.
Why are you blaming it on me?
You instigated the murder,
deliberately left the necklace at the scene,
and even recorded the video using spy cams.
This is all my fault.
From Lee Na Ri to Cha Eun Sae.
Now, Jung Won too.
You should've just killed me.
Why didn't you just kill me and call it quits?
You're finished once Mo Soo Rin gets caught.
I know you got her to kill Eun Sae.
I will track her down at all costs...
and make you pay for what you did. No matter what.
How will you do that?
Do you have evidence?
Do you want to hear something interesting?
You're being delusional, but even if what you think is true,
I will never...
have to "pay" for it.
Never.
Even if there's no direct evidence to prove it was you,
once Mo Soo Rin gets caught,
do you think she'll keep her lips sealed?
She'll have to confess.
Do you really think so?
How are you so sure she won't?
You must have something on her.
Do you?
You don't seem to want to congratulate me.
I should go.
If that's true,
let's put away just her.
Please...
help me so Jung Won can be released.
You'll be safe even if Mo Soo Rin is arrested.
If you let Jung Won come out,
I'll do anything.
Then...
will you divorce her...
and marry me?
(Assemblyman Mo Hyung Taek)
(This is why reporters are trash. Have her executed.)
I'm glad you have a little less on your plate.
We can't relax until prosecutors charge her.
(New Union Party)
What's the approval rating?
We're six percent points ahead.
- For each region... - What if a chairman's son's wife...
is a murderer?
The second Mujin resort complex they were planning.
That would flop, right?
They would divorce quickly,
then wait for the commotion to die down.
I can't wait until then.
Bring me a list of companies...
with construction subsidiaries that are easy to control.
This matter...
is more important to me than approval ratings.
What are you thinking about?
Sorry.
I was thinking...
I won't be able to have...
your coffee for a while.
What time do you leave tomorrow?
At 11am.
When can you come over?
Jung Won must be charged first.
Then I'll see how things go.
Is it for me?
Keep it on Korean Standard Time and think of me.
I'll keep mine on Malta time and think of you.
We can live together at last.
If not for you,
I could never have left that dreadful house.
Soo Rin.
I need you to do something before you leave.
The cameras at the memorial hall where Jung Won's dad's ashes are.
They'll be out of order this week.
Maintenance only checks the place once a week,
so it'll be neglected.
The knife.
Hide it with the ashes.
They must find the murder weapon if they're to charge her.
I was just released from lockup,
so I can't do it myself. You understand, don't you?
Yes.
But...
Jung Won mentioned an accomplice...
during her news interview.
That won't do.
I must do it myself, if the plan is to work.
No, that's too dangerous.
I'll...
do it.
Thanks, Soo Rin.
You're all I have.
Tae Heon.
Hey.
The video of Ms. Seo at the scene...
was sent by courier anonymously.
They found blood on the sole of the shoes she wore in the video.
- Cha Eun Sae's blood? - Yes.
Captain's putting crazy pressure to find the murder weapon.
What about what I asked?
You were right about that.
When and where is she headed?
A flight to New York leaving at 11am tomorrow.
You know you'll lose your job if you do anything else, right?
Then I'll spend the rest of my life...
in a batting range or driving range.
Are you insane?
Hello, captain.
I'm with him now. Why?
Can he come back to work?
Goodness.
I got nothing on you in the last inspection,
and it left a bad taste in my mouth.
You scored big this time.
I'm a bit busy right now.
Can we do this tomorrow?
I'm sorry you're busy.
I plan to keep you here tonight.
Let's begin.
When did you decide to kill Cha Eun Sae?
I never decided...
to kill Cha Eun Sae.
I didn't kill her.
I just read the news.
Alongside a report saying your show got canceled,
I found one that said the journalist association...
wants your membership revoked.
As a journalist, don't you want to do what's right...
in the end?
Let's not drag this on.
Confess.
(New text message, Seol Woo Jae)
A journalist's conscience shows in their article,
and a politician's conscience shows in their actions.
We must not forget that.
- Good job. - Well done.
- Great work. - Thanks.
- You did well. - Thank you.
Good job.
The two of you who might be watching right now...
must know the answer to all these questions.
Please cooperate with the police investigation...
and tell them the truth.
I don't mind being locked up, but at least let me pee.
Okay.
Don't be like this.
Did you have to go and hold back evidence...
and get in trouble?
- Don't you do that. - Tae Heon!
Darn it.
Hey.
You... Where are you going?
- Tae Heon. - Tae Heon!
Kim Tae Heon! Stop right there!
(Mujin Welfare Foundation)
(Application on the Confirmation of Divorce by Consent)
(Husband: Seol Woo Jae)
(Marriage Registration Form)
(Husband: Seol Woo Jae)
You're home.
- What are you doing? - What?
Once we register our marriage,
I'll move in here with you.
Get out.
(Application on the Confirmation of Divorce by Consent)
(Marriage Registration Form)
If Jung Won doesn't divorce me...
She will...
when she finds out you filled out...
the marriage registration form with me.
Besides, it seemed...
your wife already fell for Detective Kim.
I guess I was right.
Get changed.
Let me drive you home.
I want to sleep over.
Did you know it's my birthday today?
I'll turn it off because I don't want us to be disturbed.
(Do you want to install this application?)
(Installing)
It's just the two of us together on my birthday...
for the first time.
Yoon Young.
Don't you dare reject me again.
I'm sorry.
I am sorry.
(Our deepest condolences)
(The late Seo Sang Gyeon)
She still had the shoes she wore that day.
It means she still has the murder weapon.
Look into the places she visited,
so we can figure out where she hid the murder weapon.
For cases like this, it's likely...
that the culprits would hide it at their parents' houses.
But her parents passed away.
I remember her mentioning on her show a while ago...
that her father was also a reporter.
(Date, Location)
(Yoonpyung Memorial Park)
She went to the cinerarium two weeks ago.
We're from the police. We must check something.
(The late Seo Sang Gyeon)
Did you find something?
Let's request an arrest warrant for Seo Jung Won right now.
How about an emergency arrest before that?
Tae Heon!
You...
You bolted during the interrogation conducted by the IA yesterday.
How dare you show up here?
Besides, Seo Jung Won is already in holding.
What? An emergency arrest?
My gosh. Have you already lost your mind?
What...
(One day ago)
(No Signal)
How about now?
How is it now?
We're good. The cameras are up now.
(The late Seo Sang Gyeon)
The woman in the video is Mo Soo Rin.
I witnessed it myself.
Really?
Sir, you'll reinstate him right away. Right?
Your stuff is on my desk.
First of all, we're going to catch Mo Soo Rin.
I have already retrieved it.
You punk. When did you take that back?
Yes.
Okay.
Keep it on Korean Standard Time and think of me.
I'll keep mine on Malta time and think of you.
Go that way.
(Yoon Young)
Aipha Airline passengers departing for New York...
will now begin boarding.
Priority boarding is now available for passengers with disabilities,
elderly passengers, passengers traveling with children,
Aipha Platinum members...
may begin boarding now.
Ladies and gentlemen, Aipha Airline...
Flight 819 is now boarding.
Finally, we meet, Ms. Mo Soo Rin.
You're under arrest...
for the murder of Cha Eun Sae.
Have they issued...
an arrest warrant on me?
No, it wasn't me.
I swear, it wasn't me.
Yes, I know it wasn't you.
Let's get out of here.
(Calling Yoo Yoon Young)
(Detective Kim Tae Heon)
- Yes. - We've arrested Mo Soo Rin.
- Then what about Jung Won? - She'll be released soon.
I thought about it and realized...
I had never invited you to my place before.
You visited my office so often...
when I was at Mueon District Prosecutors' Office.
At some point,
I began to just accept...
that I had to follow you around.
But I guess it's been bothering you a lot.
You see, this is what really bothers me.
Your daughter-in-law got arrested,
and she'll be charged soon.
So it got me wondering, "Why isn't he reaching out to me?"
"How come he's not even calling me?"
The plan to build the second Mujin resort has gone down the drain.
You're not the type to just neglect a situation like this.
What's your plan?
Since we're partners, you need to at least...
give me a heads-up.
Assemblyman Mo Hyung Taek.
You asked me the very question I was going to ask.
You know why you had to accept that you should just follow me around?
You're always one step behind me,
in terms of gathering intel and the way you handle things.
Sir, the cops are here. They're asking to be let in.
What should I do?
Your daughter just got arrested,
so they must be here to search your home.
What are you going to do?
Since we're partners,
you need to at least give me a heads-up.
Have this instead of tofu. This is white too.
What's going on with Mo Soo Rin?
They'll start interviewing her soon.
Even if Mo Soo Rin did it,
Yoo Yoon Young was the mastermind behind everything.
I'll put them both behind bars,
so just trust me.
I never once doubted...
that you would save me.
In the holding cell,
this thought popped into my head for the first time ever.
"Thank goodness Dad passed away."
"If he were alive,"
"he'd be so heartbroken now."
"Why did you run away?"
"Why did you lie?"
"This serves you right, Seo Jung Won."
"You didn't kill her,"
"but you just left even though you'd seen her dead body."
"Even if I end up in jail for it, I should just deal with it."
I kept telling myself this.
But even so...
I didn't want to spend the rest of my life as a murderer.
"I want to just follow Dad and die."
I even thought that.
Thanks for saving me.
For helping me not to fall apart.
I didn't do it alone.
Your husband gave me a hint related to Mo Soo Rin.
For a moment, I was torn.
"Shall I not tell her?"
"I don't want to tell her."
Jung Won.
If you fall apart,
I'll fall apart even more.
Do not have such thoughts again.
Okay?
There are so many reporters outside now,
so wait a bit longer and leave at dawn.
No.
I'll just leave now.
- Here she comes! - It's Seo Jung Won!
She's coming out!
- She's here! - Get her on camera.
- Seo Jung Won is here. - Hey, get her on camera.
I'm aware...
that I caused you concern and disappointed you.
For that, I'm truly sorry.
What's your relationship with the suspect who got arrested today?
Rumor has it that you hired a hitman. Is it true?
I heard Mujin Group influenced the police to release you.
Is it true?
Goodness. Let's not be so crude, all right?
This is why people call you reporters trash.
- What? - Aren't you a reporter too?
What's his problem?
- Goodness. - What's with him?
- What's his problem? - Seriously.
Why did the police arrest you on the suspicion of killing Cha Eun Sae?
It was because...
they found evidence that I fled the scene...
upon discovering Cha Eun Sae's dead body.
When you found the dead body of Mo Hyung Taek's housekeeper,
you called it in. So why...
didn't you do the same when you found Cha Eun Sae's dead body?
Why did you flee the scene?
When I was about to call the police,
I heard that they had chosen me...
to anchor the nine o'clock news.
The day before that, Cha Eun Sae told me...
she was having an affair with my husband,
so I didn't want...
to be associated with the murder scene.
It was irresponsible of me.
I was foolish.
It was a cowardly decision.
I'd like to sincerely apologize to Cha Eun Sae...
and her bereaved family.
I'll remember my mistakes for the rest of my life.
And finally,
I want to say I'm sorry.
- Wait. - We're done.
- Make way. - Anything else?
- What are your plans? - How do you feel?
- That's enough. - What else do you want to say?
Did you expect this?
I heard what you did. Thanks.
You did well.
Good job.
Let's go.
Jung Won. We're home.
Go and sleep more comfortably in bed.
It's okay, Tae Heon.
I guess...
I don't stand a chance.
Before we get into Cha's case,
I'll ask you about Jin Myung Sook's.
We found this diary at your place.
You wrote in it...
when you were in middle school and high school.
The entry for December 24, 2009 had something quite interesting.
"She told me so."
"If two people share a secret no one else knows,"
"they become friends forever."
(Bongto Chemical Plant)
"The more dangerous the secret, the more thrilling it becomes."
(Danger! Do Not Approach)
"If you want to feel as if you control the world,"
"you can just stop someone's time."
"How did she think of that?"
(Gangnam Hoeseong)
(Block 4)
(Bongto Chemical Plant)
"The flames we created were, just as she said,"
"truly splendid."
"Thank you for creating a secret we can keep forever."
"Merry Christmas."
This.
We tested it and it was Jin Myung Sook's blood.
You killed her...
because of the diary, didn't you?
With this knife.
(The day of Jin Myung Sook's murder)
Why did you...
come here out of the blue?
Ms. Jin.
Why did you take my diary without telling me?
What happened at the Bongto factory.
You must know now.
Give it back.
Give it to me right now.
What's this money?
(Cancel illegal demolition and provide moving solution)
It's fine.
It'll be fine!
No.
It's not yours.
It's not for you.
(Warning)
Does the knife remind you of when you killed Jin?
Is it not her?
Were you thinking of when you killed Cha Eun Sae?
(The day of Cha Eun Sae's murder)
Who are you?
We don't just have your diary.
Both Jin and Cha's blood was found on the knife.
You can't worm your way out.
Say you killed Jin because she realized you'd set the fire.
Why did you kill Cha Eun Sae?
Did Yoo Yoon Young tell you to?
Like when you set the fire together to kill Lee Na Ri?
Detective. My client seems to be unwell.
Can we stop...
You killed them,
but wasn't it Yoo Yoon Young who put you up to it, then left...
all the signatures at the scenes?
Why did you do as she said?
What is your relationship with her that you're covering for her?
Do you think she can get away with it if you keep quiet?
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
(Captain Jung In Ki)
That's it for today.
You must be upset.
You must lie low because of Soo Rin when the election's so close.
Having a lot to lose...
means you have a lot.
Part of me is jealous.
Who could dream...
of becoming the President?
You're one of very few.
Just get to the point.
Fill this up for me.
Oh, but I won't leave the country.
I plan to take a break somewhere private.
You must think I'm a nuisance.
But what could I do?
It's just my luck that your daughter loves me...
and that you're an assemblyman. All of this is...
just my luck.
Don't worry.
I want you to become the President more than anyone else.
Call me when you're done filling that up.
Don't do a sloppy job like your daughter.
Gosh. This is driving me crazy.
Forget about getting her to talk about her accomplice.
Her lawyer repeatedly argues for insanity as a defense,
using drug side effects as the cause.
Have you located Yoo Yoon Young? Is her phone still turned off?
Yes. She hasn't turned it on since two nights ago.
She's determined to stay hidden.
Any attempts to leave the country? You're getting live updates, right?
Yes. Just like Tae Heon said, I put some men on stakeout duty.
But she's not showing up.
It looks like she won't say a word and will go down alone for this.
What do you say?
Should we request a warrant just for her?
No, we can't do that.
("Assemblyman Mo Stops Campaigning and Disappeared Two Days Ago")
I think Mo Hyung Taek already knew about his daughter's crimes.
(Chief Kang In Han)
Sir, I need to talk to you now.
I thought you would be having a hard time by now.
What else did you want to ask me about other than your own situation?
When I told you I had a suspect in mind,
you sounded certain it was Mo Hyung Taek and said this.
"I knew it."
"So, what I heard was true."
What have you heard?
It could harm Mo Hyung Taek, right?
Gosh. His daughter is about to get arrested.
Why do you still want to find dirt on him?
I exposed a woman named Yoo during my interview.
She's Mo Soo Rin's accomplice.
Mo Soo Rin just did what Yoo told her to do.
I doubt that Mo Hyung Taek didn't know about this.
He should actively protest that...
his daughter didn't voluntarily commit murder...
to save his career.
It's odd that he's remaining quiet about her accomplice.
Something is up.
So you're saying...
Her accomplice might have something on Mo Hyung Taek.
Something he wants to hide.
What is it that you know?
His wife is in the hospital because she's in a vegetative state.
She rolled down the stairs on her own at home 13 years ago.
That was the conclusion of the investigation.
Rumor has it that...
Mo Hyung Taek ordered them to conclude it as an accident.
I know that you don't want me to do that.
I don't expect you to forgive me.
- He's coming out. - Here he comes.
- Here he is. - He's coming out?
Did you meet your daughter who got arrested?
- Please give us a comment. - She's a murder suspect.
- How do you feel? - When did you become aware...
of your daughter's crimes?
Your daughter was arrested...
on the suspicion of killing Jin Myung Sook and Cha Eun Sae.
How do you feel right now?
Ms. Seo.
What do you want to hear from me?
(Jihyang University Hospital)
You knew that...
your daughter didn't act alone in both cases, didn't you?
You also know who her accomplice is, right?
How come you're not speaking up?
I've been thinking about...
what kind of decision...
I should make to truly help my daughter.
Someone came into the house?
Did you see that person's face?
(The day after killing Jin Myung Sook)
It was a young man.
I only caught a glimpse of him as he took the bag of money.
What if we end up in trouble because of him?
He ran away with the money even after seeing Jin wasn't dead.
He won't be able to get out of this scot-free. So don't worry.
I also checked the crime scene thoroughly.
You were at the scene?
Yes.
I was the one who set the stage.
I ought to bring down the curtains myself.
Well done, Soo Rin.
Ms. Seo was right.
The woman, Yoo, she exposed during her interview on the news...
indeed instigated my daughter to commit murder.
- She instigated the murder? - She did what?
- What? - What do you mean?
("'Yoo Instigated Murder of Cha Eun Sae'")
Have them ban her from flying out of the country.
Now that we have a voice recording,
- let's put out an APB. - They went to the same high school.
Yoo had dominated...
and manipulated my daughter mentally for a long time.
I don't have evidence that she instigated Cha Eun Sae's murder.
But she probably committed the murder...
because Yoo told her to do so.
Earlier...
you said you had to think about what kind of decision...
would truly help your daughter.
If she committed the murders for someone else's sake, not hers,
wouldn't telling the truth sooner have been better for her?
Why did you keep it a secret all this time?
Because her accomplice...
knew about our family's dark secret.
Thirteen years ago,
my wife tumbled down the stairs at home...
and ended up in a vegetative state.
You're not normal. I'm taking you to the hospital.
I'm not going! Who are you to tell me what to do?
If you don't go to the hospital,
- My wife and my daughter... - I'll report you to the police.
- Got into a small physical fight. - Stop it!
Then my daughter pushed her down, so she ended up in an accident.
Her friend...
was at my house when it happened.
So she witnessed the accident.
- She saw the accident? - What?
Her friend urged her to kill Ms. Jin in the end.
Not only that,
she tried to kill me too.
- That's a huge scar. - It's a scar!
- Really? - Did you see that?
- He survived. - What happened?
- What? - What is that?
Is that a knife stab wound?
- Did she stab him? - Her own father?
Darn it.
Now that my daughter is caught,
I'm disclosing everything...
("His Daughter Almost Killed Him")
as a means of repentance.
Please condemn me.
And...
please catch her accomplice who ruined my daughter's life...
and punish her.
I implore you desperately for your help.
What do you think you're doing?
You should have told them she hallucinated...
due to the drug side effects.
But you made it sound like I'm some psychopath!
What are you trying to pull right now?
You made those scars, didn't you?
You were going to sacrifice her in the worst-case scenario,
so you could get off alone by turning yourself into a victim.
That's it, isn't it? That's what you're doing! Darn it.
If I admit that,
will you admit it too?
That it's all over?
What?
("Rain in the Desert")
(To Yoon Young, Seol Woo Jae)
Here you go.
I have no idea where Yoon Young could be...
right now.
I have a few guys trying to track her down as per your order,
but we've found nothing yet.
(Kind Police)
Will they charge me with the murders?
The woman, Yoo, she exposed during her interview on the news...
("Yoo Instigated My Daughter to Commit Murder")
indeed instigated my daughter to commit murder.
Thirteen years ago,
my wife tumbled down the stairs at home...
and ended up in a vegetative state.
My wife and my daughter got into a small physical fight.
Then my daughter pushed her down, so she ended up in an accident.
Is what your father said true? Did you really push your mother?
Also, is it true that you tried...
to stab your father to kill him?
Mr. Mo showed us...
the scar on his chest and revealed everything.
No, I never did such a thing.
It wasn't me. It wasn't Yoon Young...
It wasn't her either.
Do you know how I found the knife...
you'd hidden in the memorial niche?
Yoo Yoon Young told Seol Woo Jae...
so we could arrest you.
You're lying.
You are lying.
That is a lie!
You're lying!
Are you home?
I'm here.
Jung Won.
Join me.
(Nothing Uncovered)
Yoo Yoon Young's phone just turned on.
What? Where?
Jung Won.
There's no way Yoon Young betrayed me.
I trust Yoon Young.
Don't do this.
Hey, Woo Jae.
If you hurt Jung Won,
I'll kill you, and then kill myself too.
Why are you trying so hard to make Woo Jae miserable?
There's only one thing I want now.
I don't want Woo Jae to forget me, ever.
He pegged Park Jin Soo as the arsonist,
fully knowing that I was the one who started the fire.
Shouldn't my dad take responsibility for not investigating it properly?
Now, there's a higher chance that it is not Lee Na Ri.
If we find something, I'll let you know right away.
I'm recharging.
There must be a reason I didn't die and survived.
(Application on the Confirmation of Divorce by Consent)
