WOORI MART
The Special Investigations Unit presented their findings today
for the robbery-homicide at Woori Mart in Samnye, Wanju County,
The police arrested three local boys five days after the crime,
After confessing to the crime, they were sent to court
and charged with robbery and homicide,
THE BOYS
We're about to arrive…
17 YEARS LATER
…at Gunsan Port,
Please prepare to disembark,
Jung-gyu?
I did the handover this morning and jumped straight on the ferry,
How do I feel? I just feel disappointed,
Who's coming today?
Right, that's great,
I should arrive in Jeonju in two hours, See you soon,
Very well,
He's here! Look!
Salute!
Sir, welcome!
Sit, sit, sit!
What? I feel like I'm the baby here!
Dude, how could you say that?
Once a boss, always a boss!
No, no, Not at all, To get on your good sides,
I even brought this!
My wife was over the moon to hear I've been assigned a mainland job
after a lifetime of being on the island,
She kept asking me who I sucked up to,
Mad Dog Hwang Joon-cheol…
You've had some crazy good luck in your final years of service,
It feels like only yesterday that I was sweating balls
chasing perps with you,
Time flies, right?
Don't drink like that, you'll kill yourself,
Come here,
What's up with you?
These eyes aren't the same vicious ones from 16 years ago,
Mad Dog?
He's turned into a little puppy dog since living on the island!
What the hell are you talking about, you idiot!
Salute! Inspector Park Jung-gyu!
Seeing you after all this time…
My heart… my heart!
That's enough!
He hasn't changed one bit,
He must be so happy today,
He pestered that asshole for a favor,
and it all worked out,
What favor?
You don't know?
How has that motormouth not told you about it?
So Jung-gyu asked who for a favor?
Deputy Commissioner Choi Woo-sung,
Section Chief Choi, from back in the day,
Anyway, Jung-gyu begged the deputy commissioner
to allow you to you retire peacefully in his district,
Oh, no, You've got to be kidding me,
I promised my wife I'd stop by her restaurant,
Send Jung-gyu my love… I need to head out,
Sir! But we have to…
Oh, boy,
Why did you ruin the mood by bringing up that asshole?
He asked me about it!
Honestly, we're only here because Jung-gyu asked us to be,
Hold up a second,
That's enough,
Why did you want to be a cop after seeing him go through all that?
Are you doing okay?
Isn't Yeongdeungpo a tough district?
Yeah,
I'm used to the workload, but the district commander is a dick,
Why? Is he a bit much?
He's always drunk, and carries on drinking after work,
He's like Dad,
Of all people in the world…
Your dad may be a softy now,
but people used to shiver when they heard his name,
Don't you remember?
-Yeah, Mad Dog Hwang Joon-cheol, -That's right, Mad Dog,
You sure love fresh kimchi,
I heard you had to get a loan to buy a house and this diner,
I'm sorry I couldn't be much help,
Stop worrying, just be a good cop,
Give me that,
Can't you go easy with the drinking?
Something's fishy, Hey, give me that,
Hey, I told you to watch him!
Let him drink, Don't be so hard on him,
Here, eat this,
I'm gonna be late for the bus,
You're gonna go? Head back tomorrow!
No, no,
I sliced these for you, Have a bite!
Eat! Eat! Eat!
Good,
I'll stop by again,
-Wanna take some? -It's all right!
-Get back safe, -Will do!
Be careful, call me when you get there,
Bye!
Well, there she goes,
Do you want to be late for your first day of work tomorrow?
Go easy!
MAY 2000
WANJU POLICE
Salute!
Lieutenant Hwang Joon-cheol!
As of May 3rd, 2000, I've been assigned to Wanju Police CID,
Salute!
He's one of the top three performers in the entire Jeonbuk State,
I know, "Mad Dog,"
You never let go once you bite down, huh?
I don't bite everyone,
Yeah, I've heard you're useful with a leash on you,
Welcome!
I was wondering who was gonna take Wanju's best seat,
Good to meet you, chief,
Hmm…
What are you doing?
Since it's the best seat, I'm wondering if there's a honey pot…
You've hidden a talisman!
Your predecessor got a special promotion
while working at this desk right here,
Did he get stabbed?
What?
To get that special promotion,
When I caught a holdup man,
I was stabbed three times, and then I was promoted to lieutenant,
Protect and serve, Crime Investigation Division,
Could I talk to the primary detective
of the Woori robbery-homicide case from last year?
Yes, one moment,
He's asking about my predecessor,
What can I do for you?
Deputy Commissioner Choi is part of the Jeonbuk Police now,
May I help you?
What the hell?
Yo, Park Jung-gyu,
Who's asking for Deputy Commissioner Choi?
I'm not sur…
Sir,
I'm the chief of Criminal Affairs, Kim Min-jae,
Hwang Joon-cheol, Nice to meet you,
You don't have to worry about getting stabbed in this tiny town,
You'll need a big case for that promotion,
Sure thing,
-Let's move! -Yes, sir!
Have you made a reservation at Hyojachon?
I sure did, sir,
It's that time already?
Wait, what's that smell?
Isn't that the burning smell of the pork belly our new chief is buying?
It ain't right to burn pork belly!
I like short ribs, though,
Short ribs!
Will you stop it already?
I'm so sorry,
What did you say? You saw him,
You saw that stubborn fucker!
Rude motherfucker!
What's up with him?
He and Chief Kim graduated together at the academy,
but his entire unit was promoted after solving the Woori case,
This idiot's jealous, that's all,
What do you know?
You think Jang and Kim have what it takes for a promotion?
Choi Woo-sung lobbied for them!
Miss, am I right?
Choi Woo-sung? He's the big shot!
Right?
To climb the ladders in this country,
we need a proper superior to lead us…
Sergeant Park!
Sergeant! Park Jung-gyu!
My predecessor, Choi Woo-sung, steered the ship that well?
Not you too, chief,
And I think Choi is a similar age to Jung-gyu,
An academy grad?
Yeah, it was probably the 10th or 11th graduating class,
An elite… But never mind that,
Sergeant Park, can you run much?
What?
I'm gonna get my entire unit special promotions like Choi,
but to do that, I need your full support,
Until I pick up speed, you hear?
Up for it?
Stop!
Running every damn day!
I'm too fat for this!
Go after him!
Split up!
You bastard!
Koo Jae-beom, you're under arrest for armed robbery,
You have the right to remain silent, Anything you do say…
Damn it,
You do it,
Anything you do say may be used against you!
-Hello? -Is this Chief Hwang of Wanju Police CID?
It is,
I'd like to report several criminals,
The real killers of the Woori Mart case,
What?
So, Hyun-su sold a pearl necklace, baby birthday rings,
and a gold bracelet in Busan and got $430,
When he got drunk, he'd always say
that that's all he got after killing a person,
I told that deputy, Choi, but I never heard from him…
You don't believe me either?
That's all I've got,
Sit!
So, what you're saying is,
Cho Hyun-su from Iksan,
and his two friends from Busan are the real culprits who killed the old lady?
And the three boys rotting away in jail have been framed?
Yes, that's correct,
Those punks are so diligent, right?
They came all the way from Busan to rob a small convenience store,
You said Hyun-su i s a good friend of yours,
so why'd you report him to the police?
You'd backstab a friend?
Right,
I told him to turn himself in,
But he's scared shitless about going to jail and whenever he drinks,
he wants to kill himself,
Let's go,
One second, miss,
-What's with you? -Come over here,
When did I?
Look at this bastard playing dumb,
You said you went to the crime scene location--
When the hell did I?
Remember what you said when you returned?
You said you went through the busted front gate,
but the trio hopped over the fence,
-Didn’t you tell me it was all a lie? -Lee Su-il, you shithead!
Have you been sniffing glue lately?
All of this crap so early in the day?
Piss off, asshole,
What a lunatic,
You really are sniffing glue,
Did you provide backup for the Woori case?
Of course, the entire police force was involved,
Without a shred of evidence,
I thought our superintendent was gonna eat a ton of shit,
but Choi closed the case in lightning speed,
Case 16027, Samnye village, 312…
So they treated us to puffer fish soup…
…crime reported at the intersection, child molester on the loose,
Can all patrols respond,
It's not too far, let's go,
It is kind of far,
Where?
I think he went the other way,
Looks like it, Let's check downstairs,
Let's just go for lunch,
I feel like having Chinese food,
You son of a bitch!
Shit, I almost died,
That's enough! I'm okay!
I said that's enough! Just let go!
How dare you knife a cop?
Let go of the knife!
Chief! Stop it!
Chief!
Will you stop it?
Stop! Stop!
Blood…
Chief!
I thought you were a bit prickly, but I didn't know you were mad…
Oh, my gosh!
After seeing you own with my eyes, you really are Mad Dog!
I'm just grateful, that's all,
I'm so proud to have a man like you as my superior--
Stop the car,
What?
Stop the car!
What? Right here?
Write this up to the boss,
and request a warrant for this asshole,
He must be in pain,
CLINIC
WOORI MART
Hey, kiddo!
Are your parents home?
I'm a police officer,
Are there no adults here?
I'm Chief Hwang Joon-cheol from Wanju Police,
Could I ask you something about last year's case?
I've got nothing to say about that case,
Ma'am, wait a minute!
When did you fix this gate?
Right after the incident, Happy?
Hey, Mad Dog!
Even if you're passionate about police work,
you really should avoid getting knifed,
It's just a scratch,
Yeah?
I heard you're racking up arrests,
I'm Choi Woo-sung, Jeonbuk Provincial Police,
I'm Hwang Joon-cheol, my right hand is bloody,
I work with Chief Choi, Jang Moon-do,
If you're ever in the area, let's have dinner,
Sure,
Please get that treated,
-Shall we? -Yup,
-Korean food again? -Yes, sir,
His balls are big enough to match the superintendent's,
Why didn't you go to the ER?
Jung-gyu, bring me all the information on the Woori case,
What for?
All right,
It's quite nice to hear my first name coming from your mouth,
It's like we're family,
Can I call you "bro" from now on?
I guess not?
That's our chief!
-You're home, Dad, -Yeah,
You're right on time for the show,
What happened to your hand?
-I fell, -Looks like it,
Chief Inspector, what's this case about?
Robbery-homicide,
This one could be a good read,
Say what?
Oh, my,
CRIME SCENE RECREATION VIDEO
The gate was closed,
so we jumped it, starting with me,
Ma'am, wait a minute!
When did you fix this gate?
Right after the incident, Happy?
I used a screwdriver from home to open the door,
We didn't intend to kill her,
We were afraid that the old lady would scream, so…
We split the money three-ways,
then threw the jewelry into the stream out of fear,
Byung-won fooled around with this all day,
Even in the early hours of the morning?
He fixates on machines,
He would take it apart and then put it back together,
He'd repeat that for hours on end,
The three of them never graduated elementary school,
Is this screwdriver Byung-won's?
When the TV broke, he used that to change channels,
The cops came by and took it with them,
So, Choi was looking at the list of suspects,
and he landed on Seo Byung-won,
He knew how to pick a lock, too,
Man, Choi was on the right foot from the beginning!
You didn't even wash up?
I'll go to the sauna,
Go straight!
Anyone home?
We're from Wanju Police!
Who?
Wanju Police!
Who? Who are you?
We're cops! Cops!
Young-cheol?
Cops!
Young-cheol moved away!
COMMENDATION KWON CHANG-HO
He moved!
Then, Chang-ho, where's your grandson?
What? You're Young-cheol?
Let me see you,
You're Young-cheol? Is that you?
What is it?
I don't know!
If the chief asks, say we're doing legwork on a case,
Let's head back in!
You go ahead!
Anyone home?
Jeez…
Be quiet,
He'll go crazy if you wake him up,
So, your brother was sleeping in the next room that morning?
He really doesn't wake up unless someone wakes him up,
I told the police that many times,
All right,
I have another question for you,
Your mom passed away seven years ago, right?
Yes,
Then why did Seung-woo confess to stealing the jewelry for her?
He was like that at times,
He'd flip out if someone mentioned that she's dead,
It's because of his guilty conscience,
Guilty conscience?
What happened was…
she was run over by the tractor, so couldn't walk properly,
We had to run errands all the time for her,
and that moron really loved that,
One day, she asked him to buy her pesticide from the town,
and she drank it and died,
Right in front of him,
How was he to know that she would do that?
He even mixed Sprite with pesticide for her,
That moron couldn't read "pesticide" on the bottle,
and he held her for a long time as she died in pain,
What did you say?
He couldn't read the word "pesticide"?
He's as thick as a rock,
He can't even write his own name,
He always asked Chang-ho to write it for him,
Give me a hand with this!
Goddamn…
What is this even for?
Look at your hand…
A… a… are you cops?
We are,
Sit!
We won't eat you,
Seung-woo, I'm Hwang Joon-cheol from Wanju Police Investigation,
I just have a few questions, Can you answer me honestly?
Kwon Chang-ho,
You said you tossed the jewelry, Where did you toss it?
In the stream in Samnye,
Whereabouts in the stream?
I don't remember,
Of course you don't remember, because you didn't toss them,
No, I tossed it near Woosuk University,
Do you do martial arts?
Byung-won, come here,
Get over here!
Stand here, Take this screwdriver,
Go on,
Try opening this door,
Use this screwdriver to open it,
If you do, I'll give you $100 to spend in here,
This… doesn't work,
You're good at that!
Sit, Go sit down,
Seung-woo…
here,
Write your name and address,
If you do, I'll give you $100 too,
Go on, write it, it's for $100,
All right, then,
HWANG JOON-CHEOL
Read this, I'll give you $100 right now if you do,
Give me that,
Remember this?
It's the confession you wrote when you were first arrested,
What? How is this possible?
Did you really kill the old lady?
Can't you be honest with me?
I really want to help you!
You were beaten, weren't you? By cops,
Get the hell up!
Where are you looking? Eyes down here!
Hands up!
Shit, you can't even draw this?
Jewelry in "I stole the jewelry," is spelled J-E-W-E-L-R-Y,
Write it again,
You spelled it wrong!
Are you laughing?
You killed someone and you laugh about it?
Did you just fucking laugh?
Fucker, write it again, hold the pencil!
J-E-W-E-L-R-Y,
Jewelry…
That's right, asshole,
This shithead is a lazy fucker,
-Salute! -Salute!
So…
Seung-woo, are you the one who killed the old lady?
Yes, that's the narrative,
Look at me,
Why did you put tape over the granny's mouth?
To kill her?
I-- I'm not sure,
But when can we eat?
We haven't eaten anything in two days,
Oh dear, what to do?
An old lady is viciously murdered…
but the killer only cares about food,
Do it right, okay?
Yes, sir,
-Salute! -Salute!
You son of a bitch!
Eat shit, asshole!
Eat! Eat!
I'll get you out of here!
You'll get us out?
If you go and testify to the prosecutors,
you will be released,
No, I won't go,
I'll never go there--
Hold on!
This bastard made it all up!
That's right, everything's a lie!
Are you kidding me?
We've got nothing else to say, Can we leave?
Come on, let's go!
Guard! Guard! Open this door!
JULY 2016
HANEUL TAEKWONDO
Off you go,
How dare you lie to me!
Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this,
I'm sure he stole it!
Son of a bitch!
You're the only one who would steal!
I told you he was the thief!
Wait, wait!
Coach, what's going on?
I really didn't steal anything,
I made the big mistake of trusting Mrs, Yoon,
I shouldn't have gotten mixed up with you punks,
Let's go to the police station!
-Let's go! -Hold on, sir,
Seung-woo, you really didn't touch it?
Yeah,
Looks like you two are accomplices,
-Did you order him? -You two are in this together?
Let's go to the police!
What's going on?
The one in the white shirt is the driver for a taekwondo gym,
and the two boys have been accused of stealing,
But turns out the victim lied about the whole thing,
So what's the problem then?
They got into an argument and a fist fight,
but they both have a record of committing robbery and murder,
The parents want to press charges for attempted murder,
Chang-ho! Seung-woo!
Mi-sook!
I'm their guardian,
Are you okay? Are you hurt at all?
Hey, I'm the one who got hit, why would he be hurt?
-That's enough-- -Easy there,
What did you say?
Settle down!
Look at his eyes! He really is a killer,
Did you call him a killer?
Don't run your mouth!
He's a killer, what else should I call him?
Take it easy!
Get their statement and send it to headquarters,
Hold on a minute!
I'm their lawyer, so you'll need to go through me,
Are you going to see the chief?
He told me to go and see him before I sign off,
I've taken their statement,
could you pass it onto Criminal Affairs?
We are all about to go to a meeting, Help me out?
Come on out! Everyone out!
-These guys are ex-convicts! -Speak properly!
Wait here until we're done,
This is nuts!
Something is messing with us,
Indeed,
Please take care of it, I've gotta go see the superintendent,
Oh, wait, Choi is with the superintendent,
I think he called you down to see you,
Don’t say stupid shit and just hold it in, got it?
Hey, you saw it, they swung at me!
Be glad we don't take it all the way with those killers!
What? I've had it!
You son of a bitch!
You can't do this at the station,
What are you doing? I'm the victim here,
Let go of me, it hurts,
Are the police siding with the killers?
The person you're accusing them of killing is my mom!
Did you see them kill my mom?
Ma'am, stay put,
You're an insane bitch!
Insane bitch? You insane asshole!
Mister!
What's going on here?
Lieutenant Hwang, what are you doing here?
I was about to head up,
It's been a while, lieutenant,
Do you like your new posting?
I came to hear from you in person,
Yes, it's quite agreeable,
If that's why you called, I'll be off then,
Hwang, stop!
Hey, Captain Park,
What case is this?
It's nothing at all, just a simple assault case,
This is nothing? They’re convicted killers--
Deputy Commissioner, it's a coincidence!
They got into an argument in Hwang's district…
Was it a one-sided or mutual fight?
Mutual, sir,
Release them on a warning,
What? What do you mean?
We haven't even talked about settlement!
You'd have to settle for a similar amount if we countersue,
Who are you?
I'm their lawyer,
You fought too, You've no serious injuries and they got a lawyer,
so consider yourself lucky that you aren't countersued,
Go on, release them,
You didn't need to get involved,
Lieutenant, let's get lunch,
Wait a minute! How is this fair?
Countersue? I'd better get myself a lawyer too!
-Say something! -Where are you going?
Chang-ho, that's them, isn't it?
Chief,
I heard you'd been assigned an island post,
What happened to you and the boys is my fault,
No need to apologize, it's all in the past,
Is that why you wanted to see me?
I'm a little busy, I'll be off,
Chief, it's not that,
I'm Attorney Shin Eun-hee,
I came to ask for your help,
We are preparing a retrial with the boys,
I know it's not easy to get involved willingly,
But may we at least get the files that you worked on?
Since it happened so long ago, we can't even get basic records,
You've been leaving the salon a lot lately,
I've been busy,
One moment,
Yes, Uncle,
You found it?
Please come to the lawyer's office tomorrow afternoon,
Yes, thank you,
Going after those robbers again?
Let it go, The living must go on living,
Seung-ah, off you go,
I just came to give you this,
My shift is almost over,
One sec,
Get changed and wait the table,
-Bill, please! -Sure thing!
Would you like a receipt?
SAMNYE WOORI MART INVESTIGATION FILE 2
It's quite useful now that it's digitized,
Everything's all messed up,
My dead sister had the foresight to ask me to shoot this,
Get up there!
-Raise it up! -Seung-woo, be on the lookout!
Raise it higher!
Very good, Chang-ho,
And then?
Open this next!
Move faster, come on!
Don't you remember--
If we do a retrial,
won't we have to face those cops again?
We'll see them in court anyway, so let's not be scared,
Yeah, we have to be strong and be able to stare them down,
-Good afternoon, -Hello,
Thanks,
Chief,
Are you on Choi's side?
I'm not on anyone's side,
This and that file should be sufficient for a retrial application,
Thank you, chief,
There's no need to thank me, these papers are useless to me,
Mrs, Yoon's uncle shot this during the crime scene recreation,
Would you like to see it?
No, ma'am,
Chief!
Please find the real killers,
The real killers' testimonies will be decisive at the retrial,
You're asking an officer to run illegal background checks?
I don't know about that, but at least be our witness!
Witness?
Why are you doing this to me? This is a closed case!
I thought it was all over too!
The boys did their time in jail,
and I thought I'd just have to live with the guilt,
But it's not like that,
They're still treated as my mom's killers,
and I've realized that I was living like a coward!
Please help us, It's all my fault,
Chief, please help! Chief!
Hey, did I ask for your help?
Go to sleep if you don't feel like it,
I can always tell when your heart's not in it,
This spot is so shiny,
JULY 2000
I didn't think I'd see you so soon,
Yes, I just have a few questions,
You received a call from Lee Su-il from Iksan, right?
A tip about the Woori case?
Yes, I spoke to him,
Why did you ignore the tip about the real killers?
What did you just say? "Real killers"?
Lieutenant, is this why you wanted to see me?
You should try this dish first,
Sir…
I called him,
This really takes me back to those old Wanju days,
when we worked the streets,
A probation officer's report states that one of the boys
was diagnosed with a mental disability,
When did you look into this?
I didn't see you behind your desk,
so I thought you were playing a bounty hunter,
This little thing caught your eye?
Do you know how many charges they were exempt from?
A bunch of kids caught stealing cucumbers and watermelons?
Do those charges automatically lead to robbery and homicide?
What?
Also…
you two took these confessions, right?
Who's gonna believe that a boy who can't write his name wrote that?
Maybe that moron was in top form when he wrote this!
Don't you dare try to mess up a closed case!
Hey, Hwang Joon-cheol,
This case wrapped up cleanly,
We found evidence on the get-go, and the perps confessed!
Evidence? Thanks for bringing that up,
How does an addict like Lee Su-il know unpublished details?
Explain that to me,
Why are you asking us that?
He's messing you around to try and get reward money!
If you're so confident, then why hide the crime scene recreation video?
Why the hell would I hide that?
The tape got fucked up during a replay, so I tossed it,
You all deserve disciplinary action,
Come on, we're all family here,
You guys should stop too,
Fuck your fucking family, Yo, Park Jung-gyu,
Why are you sucking up to a pissant superior?
-What the hell did you call me? -I have had it with you!
Come outside, asshole!
I'll rip out your fucking mouths!
Jang Moon-do, Kim Min-jae! You disrespectful fucks!
These are my guests, do you hear me?
Sit,
Sir!
Sit,
All right, Lieutenant Hwang,
You've got a useful imagination,
Investigations usually start that way,
But your vivid imagination overlooked the testimony of the victim,
The Woori Mart owner, Yoon Mi-sook, accused the trio,
So?
I'll look the other way on this one occasion, so stay in line,
What's with Choi's accent? I thought he was from the city?
Mrs, Yoon Mi-sook!
Mrs, Yoon, are you home?
-Mrs, Yoon! -Who are you?
My apologies, I have an urgent question to ask you,
Sir, I really don't remember anything!
Please just leave!
If you can't remember anything,
then why did you peg those kids as killers?
Because I saw them,
Come closer,
Closer!
Lift your heads up!
Where did you hide your jewelry?
His knuckles?
What about their faces?
-You didn't see them? -Let's go inside,
Why did you turn your phone off?
The chief was looking for you!
Sir, I got the photos developed,
Hwang Joon-cheol,
You bastard…
What kind of moron are you?
Why are you causing a stink by opening a closed case?
I only looked into a tip,
You son of a bitch,
What a load of shit,
Drop this crusade at once,
You can't even answer me? Where are you going?
I'm going to the washroom!
Jung-gyu, let's go!
Doing your business together?
Are you gonna wipe him? Flush his shit too?
I told you he's not here,
I haven't been able to reach him for a few days!
You could come back later!
-Shit! -Hyun-su!
Get over here!
Cho Hyun-su, stop!
Cho Hyun-su, you bastard!
Hey!
Hyun-su!
Cho Hyun-su!
Get over here!
Hey! Hyun-su!
Don't do anything stupid, Get over here,
Hyun-su!
Just jump already!
Jump, okay?
Get down here!
That's it…
SOYOUNG CLINIC
I have somewhere I need to be,
Get treatment here and head home,
It's nothing at all,
Out,
Okay,
After the granny died, I was scared,
We went straight to Busan and sold the jewelry,
Jae-seok and Joo-hyuk stayed, and I came back to Iksan,
Thank you for being honest,
So Ha Joo-hyuk got caught sniffing glue and is in jail,
and Jae-seok is living with his juvie friend?
Yes,
Confirm that Jae-seok's still there,
You said he's at Cheongsapo, right?
Jae-seok!
It's me, Hyun-su,
Open up, man!
Jae-seok!
What the hell did you wake me up for?
I told you not to come by!
What the hell?
I'm from Wanju Police,
The chief kept asking me how I got hurt,
so I told him I got into a fight with the Bongeun clan, good, eh?
Not at all,
Tell him you got hurt while catching the real killers from the Woori case,
Sit, sit here!
Lee Jae-seok, you're not gonna say anything?
Yes?
All right, Lee Jae-seok,
it's your right to remain silent, but it'll ultimately hurt you,
Cho Hyun-su, at 4:00 a,m,, July 2nd, 1999,
were you at Woori Mart, which is located in Samnye,
with Lee Jae-seok and Ha Joo-hyuk?
Yes,
Then can you tell me how you got there?
Here, give this a go, it's the good stuff,
Take it, asshole!
That will fuck you up,
It's okay, try it, you'll love it,
Here, drink,
You fuckers! How can you sleep?
I'm so fucking high!
Shit, I don't have money for cigs,
Already? That's messed up,
-Hey, listen, -What is it?
Should we rob a shop?
A shop?
Scared?
You're absolutely nuts,
-Let's try it! -All right, fuck,
We gotta at least have some return gas money, no?
Nice,
Very nice!
-Good! -Let's go!
Hey, hey!
Let's do this,
Hey, it's open!
The crowbar used to open the front door,
was it this one found at Lee Jae-seok's home today?
It is,
You see?
And then what happened inside the store?
Who are you?
Shut the hell up,
Tape, tape,
I'm sorry, ma'am, just hang in there,
-Mom, Mom? -The kid woke up,
Listen, lady, If she cries, you're all dead, got it?
Tie her up, asshole!
Where did you hide your jewelry?
Who are you?
Holy fucking shit!
Damn it!
Tie the granny up and look around too,
Yeah, please hold still,
Found it!
Grab them!
Guys, guys, I got money!
Let's fucking go!
Jae-seok, hey!
Something's wrong with her,
What is it?
Grandma, can you open your eyes?
Granny, can you wake up?
Wake up!
We’re fucked,
That's enough, let's get out of here!
Get out! Go!
Shit, get the crowbar!
Lee Jae-seok,
Hyun-su admitted all of this and you still won't say anything?
He said you even performed CPR to save the grandma!
You sons of bitches, is there a fire in here?
There's a new development in the Woori case…
You bastard,
Superintendent's office, now,
Are you out of your mind?
I'm the idiot for taking in a cop called Mad Dog,
You two!
Shake hands and drop this!
What is this bullshit?
"Bullshit"? Look at this fucker!
How dare you, you nobody!
Stop, stop, stop!
-Go outside, -Yes, sir,
My apologies, sir,
Christ…
Sit down!
If you don't want to drag this agency through the mud,
please stop this,
How am I dragging us through the mud?
It's the only way to save the agency,
Will you go to war against all cops involved in this case?
Are you up for it?
This is all about a small mistake on your part,
Let's say we caught them together,
and freed the innocent boys locked up behind bars!
What mistake?
I believe that my men conducted a fair investigation,
You call this fair investigation?
This is all bullshit!
What the hell are you doing?
For the sake of everyone involved, l can say we caught them together!
I confirmed that you beat those kids into confessing, asshole!
If we're talking about beating people,
you're far more experienced,
I've never beat an innocent person!
I only beat the guilty, you're rotten to the core!
I've had it with you!
-Superintendent! -What?
As I told you,
we caught the Busan trio by reinvestigating the case!
So, send this case up to the prosecution!
You son of a bitch!
Stop right there!
Send it up right away, if not…
I'll bring in the media on a field trip!
That motherfucker!
Is Prosecutor Oh back from the field?
Have you told him that Lieutenant Hwang would like to talk?
I see,
The message was passed on,
This bastard's fooling around…
-Yes, hello? -This is Prosecutor Oh,
Sir, does it make sense that you're in charge of this again,
after investigating the original case?
I think you misunderstood something about me,
It's not a misunderstanding, I…
I completely understand that you may be concerned,
So, I've requested a cross-examination
with the Busan and Samnye trios next Thursday at 1:00 p,m,
Would it satisfy you if you observe it yourself?
I will observe, make sure you do this fairly,
Are you home?
Geumbok, stop it!
Are you hurt?
My daughter has trouble sleeping since the incident,
Please stop harassing us,
The real killer is named Lee Jae-seok and he confessed a few days ago,
His knuckles also have calluses from boxing,
Please, just take a look!
-Please leave, -Miss!
Please stop it already,
You know what?
While my mom was dying,
I held onto my daughter and I couldn't do anything,
I just watched her die and held onto my child!
That's who I am!
My uncle got us that dog outside,
Please stop harassing me, leave me alone!
Hold on, one last thing,
this is a recording of a suspect named Cho Hyun-su…
The lives of three young men are on the line here,
For the sake of your mother, I'm begging you,
RECORDING OF CHO HYUN-SU 2000,07,16
He said to come by at 1:00 p,m, on the phone,
Anyway, the prosecutor started the interrogation this morning,
-May I leave now? -Yes,
Mr, Lee Su-il,
You are currently serving time for illegal substance abuse, right?
Yes,
Is the one who reported you in this room?
Point to him,
Did you meet a Wanju detective three months ago?
Yes,
What was the reason for the meeting?
To tell him that Cho Hyun-su is the real killer in the Woori case,
Is your tip true?
Speak up, so I can hear you,
No, I lied about it!
Why did you lie?
I was taking revenge on him
for reporting me to the police for sniffing glue,
Lee Su-il!
Who are you?
You're exploiting these kids to mess with the case?
Let go!
Boys!
Look me in the eye, Last year, July 2nd at 4:00 a,m,
Were you at the Samnye shop or not?
Talk!
So when we…
Lieutenant Hwang Joon-cheol,
I asked you here today to show you how wrong you were,
and how wrong you are,
so that you could see it with your own eyes from there,
So, stop being rude and watch closely over there,
Come out!
Cho Hyun-su, tell the truth,
Lee Jae-seok, Ha Joo-hyuk,
You two were on a deep-sea fishing boat from April 10th to August 10th last year?
This is a boarding record,
Check the next page, are those your signatures?
-Yes, -Yes,
But you confessed that you robbed Woori Mart on July 2nd?
It wasn't me, Hyun-su said that,
Cho Hyun-su,
They were on a fishing boat, but you robbed the shop with them?
You were high on glue and Dex, right?
Yes,
Think carefully,
Were you confused about them because you were high?
Look at it like this, Hyun-su,
The thing about memory is,
if you're confused, you could say so,
But it’s a major crime to mistake it for memory,
Yes…
I don't remember…
You boys are not confused, right?
You did this, yes?
Look at it carefully!
Why aren't you answering?
Should we start the investigation all over again with those cops?
Did Detective Jang leave?
No, no…
We did it, we did everything!
I did it…
I ordered these guys to do everything…
He's crying,
Why are you crying?
Be quiet,
Let him, if he feels wronged, he could cry,
You may cry,
Okay, what happened after you taped the woman's mouth?
Jae-seok went to granny's room,
but she woke up, so I tied her up,
We were about to leave with the jewelry, but she felt weird,
It looked like she wasn't breathing,
Eun-ah, hold on!
After the old lady died, I got scared,
We went straight to Busan and sold the jewelry,
With respect and courtesy, this is Wanju Police CID,
Lieutenant Hwang please,
Lieutenant Hwang Joon-cheol?
He transferred out of the city, may I help you?
Christ…
Looks like someone is running after us,
Lieutenant Hwang!
Lieutenant Hwang! Sir!
Lieutenant Hwang! Please!
Let's just go,
Lieutenant Hwang! Lieutenant Hwang!
Lieutenant Hwang! Wait!
Are you Chang-ho?
Yes, I'm Kwon Chang-ho,
Are any one of you from Gyeongsang Province?
What?
No, we're all from Samnye,
I'm sorry…
I'm so sorry…
What am I going to do?
AUGUST, 2016
This is the address for the comic shop, let's go inside,
Excuse me…
May I take your order?
Do you know a man named Cho Hyun-su?
What about him?
I'm an attorney, we have some questions for him,
He's dead,
What's going on?
What?
After he was released from the police station,
he drank like a fish every day,
He said he was too scared to live sober,
I was so fed up with him and told him to go kill himself,
and that asshole really killed himself,
He overdosed,
Honey, honey!
Were you waiting for me?
Lieutenant,
Would you be able to find out Lee Jae-seok's whereabouts?
Turns out,
Ha has an outbound record on a deep-sea fishing boat,
and Lee's current whereabouts are unknown at the moment,
Please drop this,
Why are you hurting others by dragging up the past?
Cho is dead and Ha left the country,
If you can't find Lee, this is a dead end,
We're out of options, let's postpone the retrial,
No, we can't give up on the boys!
It's not about giving up,
It's about delaying the application,
At least until we find Lee and Ha,
It took the boys a lot of courage to do this,
You'll never win, they'll only get hurt,
Same for you as well,
Keep it,
Give me the boys' numbers,
I'll try to convince them,
Seung-woo!
-Chang-ho! -Yeah?
I'm sorry, this is the only place that'll give us work,
We have to come work when they call us,
No need to be sorry,
I heard you're saving up for Mrs, Yoon,
Yes, she's like our mother,
And they said we need money for the retrial,
Hey!
Why are you grinning?
You scaredy-cat boys are all grown up now,
What's the use?
We've never had girlfriends,
Not that bastard, he's got a girlfriend!
What are you saying? I don't have a girlfriend,
You like Seung-ah, and she likes you too,
Then you two are dating, no?
Is that true?
Chang-ho, you slept with my sister?
Did you guys do it?
I didn't do anything!
Why would she like a guy like me?
I'm a convicted killer,
Yeah? Then show me!
Show me your texts with her!
What are you doing?
You always grin like a fool whenever you get texts,
Hey,
They call me "human trash," how could I ever date her?
Then ask her out on a date after we win the trial,
Yeah, we also found the video of the crime scene reenactment,
Yeah!
If we win the trial, and you get married,
you'll be so happy!
All right, let's win the trial and get married too,
What? Gonna get married too?
Get over here!
Chief!
What brings you here on your day off?
Go back to work,
Did he say he was coming?
-No, -I'm not sure,
Sign here and don't worry about it,
LEE JAE-SEOK
Hello, is this Mr, Lee Jae-seok's residence?
That's right, who is this?
Hello? Hello?
ATTORNEY SHIN
Ma'am, it's Hwang Joon-cheol,
Lieutenant Hwang, have you met with the boys?
-Apply for the retrial, -Okay,
Pardon?
I may not come in today, so keep that in mind,
You have a guest,
Going somewhere far?
You're retiring next year, right?
Yes,
Thirty years on duty, and no promotion in 15,
I've been neglecting you as your commanding officer,
It'd look good to retire with a rank of inspector, no?
I'll guarantee you that, and give you a post you want…
I thought you left everything behind,
but your Mad Dog nature is itching to bark,
I've been ashamed of myself for the past 16 years,
for not being able to help those poor boys,
I've decided not to live in shame for myself and for them,
So?
You want to go to war against the world at your age?
With a stupid woman and some idiot kids?
What can I say?
The Mad Dog has found his prey,
Take care of your own family!
Worry about your daughter at Yeongdeungpo station,
What? What did he just say?
What did he mean?
-Is this #1103? -Yes, it is,
I have a delivery for you, I should be there in ten,
I just left the house,
You've left the house?
Yes,
Then I'll leave it with the security,
Okay, thank you,
Oops, I forgot the washer fluid,
-I'll be right back, -All right,
Daddy will be right back,
Yongari? Do you want it?
Okay,
Washer fluid…
Here it is,
You're alive and well, pretending to be a normal guy,
Who are you?
Don't remember? Wanju Police CID,
What?
Lee Jae-seok,
Remember the Samnye trio who got locked up because of you?
I think you have the wrong guy,
They're about to have their retrial,
It drives me mad that you won't get charged due to statute of limitations,
but to win the retrial, we need your testimony,
you must testify no matter what, you understand?
Sweetie?
Jae-seok, so good to see you!
Your wife?
Good afternoon,
We're from the same hometown,
I see…
Little miss, you're so pretty!
What's your name?
Eun-sol, Lee Eun-sol,
Eun-sol, always listen to your parents,
-Okay, -Very good,
So, when and where should we meet tomorrow?
Well…
Then call me,
See you later,
Yeah,
-Bye, Eun-sol, -Goodbye,
It's Jae-seok, I'm really sorry,
is there another way to help them without testifying?
RETRIAL AFTER 17 YEARS
Hello?
Have you seen the article?
Yes,
Great work,
Did you go see Lee Jae-seok?
I did, but I'll fill you in when I see you,
What are you doing?
Sorry, I forgot,
It was beeping for a while, how could you forget?
What's gotten into you since yesterday?
Excuse me?
Go take the order,
I won't leave without your word,
I'll be right back!
Oh, no…
So you won't attend the retrial?
I know better than anyone
that I was the scum of this earth,
But aside from my name, I'm a completely different man,
I've started a new life!
A new life?
What about the three guys' youth you destroyed?
"I'm the one behind the Woori case," Just say something in court!
It's not like you'll go to jail!
My family doesn't know anything about my past,
Then out of nowhere, you want me to reveal
that I was a drug addict, robber and murderer?
I can't do that,
Even if there was a knife to my throat, I couldn't do it,
Wait, where are you going?
If you can't say it, I'll do it for you, asshole!
Please stop it!
How could you do that to a pregnant woman!
Sir,
Joo-hyuk or Hyun-su,
can't you go see Hyun-su?
You'd sell out your friends till the end?
Joo-hyuk is out of the country on a fishing boat and Hyun-su…
Cho Hyun-su died two years ago,
What?
He killed himself because he couldn't go on with his guilt,
Hyun-su is dead?
Stupid moron, how could he kill himself…
She's the daughter of the old lady you killed,
You may still be alive because you're not a moron,
but do you know how hard it was for me and for them?
How will you pay us back?
Nothing matters to you as long as you're okay, right?
I'll kill that fucker!
What are you doing?
Do you want to go back to jail after killing him?
Should we just give up on the trial?
I feel so wronged! That's all!
I know, I know, I really do,
I'll testify,
But sir…
I'm begging you,
Please don't let my family find out,
Good, you're doing the right thing,
Even if the news gets out, you'll be anonymous, don't worry,
When we get the court date, I'll contact you,
Go on inside,
Let's go,
Please make sure Lee's identity is not leaked, Ms, Shin,
What's this?
The police and city hall came by earlier,
NOTICE OF CLOSURE HEALTH VIOLATIONS
We got reported for food poisoning,
Why didn't you call me?
What good would that do?
Yes?
What?
I'll be right there,
You stupid…
What's going on?
Are you Chief Hwang?
Internal Audit,
Come to the HQ tomorrow to hear the details,
What's going on at this hour?
Dad, is everything okay?
Is everything okay with me?
Kiddo, is something up with you?
As a police officer, something is always up,
It's not like you'll stop what you're doing for me,
Take care, call me,
Lieutenant Hwang, I'm the daughter of the Wanju Mad Dog,
I can take care of myself, do what you think is right,
Got it? I gotta go,
I'm sorry,
Gosh, I should've recorded that,
What are you sorry about?
This restaurant was tough to open,
That's what you're sorry about?
You old fool,
Why can't you be honest?
Why do I have to hear about
what my own husband is doing from someone else?
Why do you make me seem like a feeble woman?
Thanks for the meal,
Jesus Christ…
All right, I'm a little late asking you,
what would you like me to do?
Do it! Do it right!
You're already doing it, it's all over the TV!
I'm the last one to know…
Mr, Hwang, you'll never understand women till you drop dead,
Go on, get out of here!
Do your best today,
You're dead if you ruin it,
I'm off!
Don't inconvenience others,
and let's agree on a compromise,
This way,
Where are you going?
Do whatever the fuck you want!
-Let go! -Jung-gyu,
Hey, dude!
Don't even think about succumbing to these bozos!
Today's my day to shine!
Good luck!
I'm leaving, you pigs!
Where are you going?
-I understand, sir, -You can't go in there!
Look at this son of a bitch!
Where do you think you are?
You goddamn pest…
Stop, go outside,
Take this and stop harassing innocent people,
Resignation letter, really?
You're fired without pension,
Lieutenant Hwang Joon-cheol,
you're now a traitor and the enemy of the agency,
Can a man who betrayed 120,000 police officers
live a normal life in Korea?
Do mad dogs make rational calls before biting his prey?
Stop posing like a big wig, I could puke!
You're not a cop, you're just a thug,
He really went mad…
All rise please,
You may sit,
We'll now begin the retrial 2016-2 of a robbery-homicide case,
Defendants, is your witness Lee Jae-seok present?
Due to an unforeseen circumstance,
he is unable to attend the hearing today,
We'd like to ask Deputy Commissioner Choi Woo-sung to the stand first,
Please watch the video,
This video shows the investigation 17 years ago against my clients,
The evidence list shows "Crime Scene Recreation,"
but as you can see, it's been crossed out,
Witness, it indicates the video is unaccounted for,
is it lost or concealed?
It happened 17 years ago,
I do not remember,
Let's continue watching,
This video of the crime scene recreation
was shot by a defendant's relative and has recently been restored,
As you can see, an officer is recording the entire event,
But you destroyed it, fearing that your illegal interrogation
with forced confession would be discovered,
Your Honor, speculative argument,
No, it's a conjecture,
Please work your way to the truth with concrete evidence,
Certainly, I'll now show you that evidence,
Raise it higher!
As you can see in the video,
the young defendants aren't sure what they're supposed to do,
and are only following directions of the investigators like puppets,
Please watch this carefully,
You dumbass, not like that, do it the way you did it before,
Didn't you have them practice this?
Witness, what did you mean by that?
I said, "Didn't you have them practice this?"
That's right,
Doesn't this mean they did not know the process and needed to practice?
As you know,
criminals have a psychological defensive mechanism
that erases their crimes from their memory,
We use this investigation method in order to smash through
that defensive mechanism and to restore their memory,
We'll now hear the voice of Cho Hyun-su, who confessed to the crime,
After the old lady died, I got scared,
We went straight to Busan and sold the jewelry,
Is this the voice?
Yes,
No more questions,
Is there anyone in this courtroom,
who can verify that the voice in the recording is his own?
Cho Hyun-su died a few years ago,
Please answer with yes or no,
Is he in this courtroom or not?
Your Honor,
the prosecution is putting aggre…
Wait a minute,
I don't want to answer with yes or no,
His terrifying voice is ingrained in my head,
That voice belonged to Cho Hyun-su,
Do you remember seeing
these knuckle calluses on one of the perps' hand?
Yes,
Mr, Kwon Chang-ho, could you show us your knuckles?
Mr, Kwon Chang-ho!
Could you show us your hand?
Next court date is September 6th, 9:30 a,m,
Who is it?
Good evening, I came to meet Jae-seok,
Do you remember me? I saw you at the market,
One moment,
Sorry for dropping by so late at night,
He hasn't come home in a few days,
Did something happen to him?
I'm not sure, he told me not to call him for a few days,
Something must be up,
Could you please let him know that I came by if he calls?
Sure…
The door is closing,
Sir?
Yes?
Are you a cop?
Yes,
Could you tell me honestly?
Did he do something bad?
Why would he do something bad?
I must have confused you with another late-night visit,
Thank you for the drink,
Is Daddy back?
Oh, dear,
Eun-sol, you woke up?
Hi, Eun-sol,
Have you been well?
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
I should've watched over Lee more closely,
I am truly sorry, boys,
Chief,
We talked about it before coming here,
If we can say what we want to say
in the courtroom tomorrow to powerful men who did this to us,
we can live with that,
"We're not killers!"
Being able to shout that would be amazing,
All right, here, here,
You guys are our last guests, so I'm bringing out the big guns!
Don't mind the time, eat slowly, and eat plenty!
You can't leave until they're empty!
Okay,
Ms, Shin, instead of Choi, put Prosecutor Oh Jae-hyung
on the witness stand at the hearing tomorrow,
Why? He'll be there as the prosecution's witness,
Thank you for agreeing to testify on your busy day,
I wanted to wrap this case up for good this time,
I have to leave soon for an important meeting,
may I question the defendants directly?
Yes, you may,
Thank you, Your Honor,
Defendants, do you remember me?
During prosecution investigation back in 1999,
have I assaulted you or treated you maliciously,
or ordered my investigators to carry out these acts?
You did not beat us, but you threatened us that
lying could get us killed,
He's right!
Perhaps I was answering a question about punishment for homicide,
Mr, Kwon Chang-ho, when you were arrested in 1999,
you admitted everything…
on the first day of investigation, did you not?
It was obvious we'd get beaten if I didn't,
You just said the prosecution did not mistreat you,
Did you or did you not confess to the crime?
I did,
A few months into your sentence, you once again denied your crime,
when Cho was arrested by Lieutenant Hwang,
But that's…
But when you were confronted with Cho and others,
you once again admitted to your crimes, right?
Sixteen years have passed,
But they are once again denying any wrongdoings,
Even though they're claiming their innocence today,
they could once again admit to their crimes tomorrow,
Do we still look like kids who'd fall for your schemes?
No, of course not,
You look like vicious killers,
What's even scarier is that…
instead of protecting these social misfits,
people like Hwang Joon-cheol are insulting the justice system
and exploiting the defendants by creating social unrest,
In addition!
Excuse me!
These guys aren't social misfits!
Sit down,
They're citizens of Korea who contribute to our society!
Take your words back!
Please sit down,
If you cause another disturbance, you'll be thrown out,
Sit down,
I'll continue,
There is a clear piece of evidence that Lee Jae-seok and Ha Joo-hyuk,
supposed real killers of this case,
were fishing during and after the incident,
Your Honor, this is a fabrication,
Do you have any evidence to back up your statement?
How could they have anything?
This case is an endless parade of perjury,
We do,
We'd like to ask Lieutenant Hwang Joon-cheol to testify,
Only five days after the Woori Mart incident,
defendants were arrested and only a week after that,
the crime scene recreation took place,
As you can see from the video,
Lee Jae-seok and Cho Hyun-su were in the crowd during the recreation,
They returned to the crime scene due to guilt and anxiety,
and they left their trace right there on the video,
Your Honor,
The document indicating that they were fishing for four months was a fabrication,
Silence in the court!
Silence!
Witness,
how can you prove that these two are indeed Lee and Cho?
These two individuals were interrogated by not only Choi,
but Prosecutor Oh Jae-hyung as well,
You should ask them,
We'd like to request Prosecutor Oh…
I'll testify!
Deputy Commissioner Choi Woo-sung to the stand,
Hwang Joon-cheol,
Are you mocking the police agency?
Your Honor!
Give us two days for our forensic scientists to analyze this!
We'll prove that those men, let go of me!
We'll prove that the one shown in the video isn't Lee Jae-seok,
It is Lee Jae-seok!
I am the real perpetrator, Lee Jae-seok,
With my friend Hyun-su, I was there,
Your Honor, we'd like to request Lee Jae-seok as our next witness,
Mr, Lee Jae-seok, please take the witness stand,
I solemnly swear
that everything I say shall be the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
You went into hiding after promising to testify here,
and even cut communication with your family,
Why did you decide to take the witness stand?
I originally planned to hide until the end of the trial,
But my wife left a message late last night,
Yeon-hee!
Where is she hurt?
Why didn't you take her to the hospital?
Eun-sol's fine,
I left that message so I could see you in person,
How could you mess around with our child?
I told you to stay with your mother, why are you here?
Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen?
Honey… did you…
kill someone?
What do you mean? Who said such a thing?
Tell me honestly, did you kill someone or not?
Did Hwang Joon-cheol contact you?
He came by, so I asked him some questions,
Everything he said is a lie!
He's trying to frame me!
No, not at all!
He's a good man!
He was actually worried for me and the baby,
He swore he was your old friend from back home,
Then how did you know?
There's no other way,
Now that I know…
I just don't have the conviction
to lie to our children about who you really were,
I can't live with you,
Let's get a divorce,
The person I love the most made me finally realize…
my biggest crime was…
living a care-free life for the past 17 years,
Lieutenant Hwang,
Thank you so much,
Thank you treating me like a human being till the end,
Mrs, Yoon Mi-sook,
I've committed a grave sin,
And the three of you…
had I not lied during interrogation, this would have been over…
I am truly sorry,
I'll live the rest of my life with remorse,
If Lieutenant Hwang didn't disclose anything to your wife,
then how did she find out about your past?
Well…
A great man named Choi Woo-sung called her and threatened her,
To make sure I never attend this trial,
The witness is making an unverifiable claim!
Mr, Choi threatened her to keep your mouth shut?
I simply made a call to tell her not to get involved in this farce,
Is it a crime to worry about him?
Silence,
You said if I didn't stay in line I'd meet Prosecutor Oh
and get locked up in jail!
Is "Prosecutor Oh" in attendance in this courtroom?
Yes,
You punks!
How dare you present lies as evidence!
This punk right here,
he was an addict all his life and lied about everything!
Bailiff, throw those two men out,
Yes, Your Honor!
Evidence! Where is the evidence?
Silence!
Show me the evidence that I threatened them!
Please leave,
-Prove that I said… -Silence in the courtroom!
Your Honor, everything's a lie!
I can prove it to you!
We are not killers!
You made us into killers!
-You made us into killers! -We are not killers!
We are not killers!
You made us into killers! We are not killers!
Without any concrete proof of crimes committed by the defendants,
and under Criminal Law Article 325, we find them not guilty,
Here they come,
You did well!
You did a great job!
Let me see you! You're still a hottie!
Lieutenant! Salute!
I smell something, I think it's steak this time,
-Should I make a reservation? -No way!
Come to my restaurant,
Excuse me, everyone, could we take a photo first?
Over here, come over here!
Let's take a photo, you're the star,
Now that we won, tell her how you feel,
-What? Confess what? -It's nothing,
It's not nothing at all!
You wanted to date my sister!
Come closer, here we go!
One, two, three!
Once more!
Lee Jae-seok,
Jae-seok!
-One, two! -Jae-seok!
