(Episode 23)
Where did Detective Nam go?
I think he went to the hill.
But I can't reach the CCTVs there.
He's less than 50m away.
That does mean he went to the hill.
Why...
would my mom be there?
Kyung Soo!
He might have escaped through the other exit. Check all roads nearby.

Detective Nam has gone rogue, and the team is following him.
I think he's trying to get rid of the body,
worried that Prosecutor Kim's testimony will reveal everything.
I found him.
He got out of the mountain.
I think he found what he wanted.
(Restricted number)
He has to be here somewhere.
Bo Mi, did you find him?
Not yet. It's too dark to see.
(Restricted number)
(Record)
Hello?
Where are you?
I'm outside.
I hope you aren't being stupid.
I'll take care of it.
I told you to do as I said.
Yes, and I did everything you said.
I tortured someone and killed another.
I made it up to you.
Yes, and that's how I managed to keep my job.
But if this goes wrong, only I take the fall.
That's why you're so calm.
What are you saying?
Prosecutor Jang told me everything...
about what you did to Senior Prosecutor Oh.
I'll take care of...
myself now.
Jo Soo Ji!
Let me go.
Happy birthday.
My son has a good taste.
Thank you.
Mom.
The call cannot be forwarded.
His line was busy a while ago, but now, he's not picking up at all.
Gosh. Prosecutor Kim's interrogation hasn't finished yet.
But he goes out nonetheless, and now he has disappeared?
I warned him last time, but he must've thought I was bluffing.
(Restricted number)
It's me.
I'm sorry about what happened last time.
It's fine.
What are you planning with Prosecutor Kim?
What about him?
Never mind.
I can't understand the fugitive who calls the police every day...
and Prosecutor Kim who wants to arrest someone for that fugitive.
I'm really sorry, Ms. Lee, but I need to ask you for a favor.
I caught a culprit who has committed murder and abandoned the body.
What are you up to now?
I caught the culprit of the missing housewife case...
that happened in 2007.
It's someone you know.
Detective Nam.
Please prove that he attempted to murder me too.
- Do you know who's behind him? - It must be Yoon Seung Ro.
Please, Ms. Lee.
Mom.
You talked Detective Nam into nonsense.
What do you mean?
You encouraged him.
And you came to me...
to make me call him.
You won't be able to prove anything other than that I know him...
with a mere phone call record.
Why did you do this?
Did you record it?
You realized it too late.
By now,
the joint investigation team will have been dispatched to arrest him.
After Detective Nam gets arrested while trying to abandon a body,
they will find a phone call recording in his cell phone.
Although, for you,
destroying the evidence would be easy.
You have to be careful.
A detective with the police committed murder.
The media will be all over this.
If you try to do anything beyond your power,
you probably won't be able to handle the consequences. t
And your hearing is...
about to begin in a few days.
Bad news, Chief Prosecutor Yoon.
It was you.
You hid your identity...
and approached me with a plan.
Yes.
I am...
Lee Shin Hyuk's...
son.
(The Guardian)
Isn't that Detective Nam?
Look at what you've done.
Find her.
Find...
Find Soo Ji first. I'm sure she's not far away.
How dare you scream right now?
Ms. Lee.
What is that? How will you explain that?
Now that he's arrested,
will I find out...
what he did to my mom...
and why he did it?
Yes.
Then will Mom...
be more at peace now?
I'm sure she's thankful that you looked for her...
without ever giving up.
We found bloodstain on the victim's scarf.
The DNA of the blood matched Lee Eun Ja's DNA...
which was stored in our missing person's database.
Do you remember...
the missing housewife case of 2007?
You have no connections with Lee Eun Ja.
Why did you abduct and murder her?
Are you going to continue to remain silent?
If you want to keep your last bit of conscience as a detective,
you should make a confession...
and cooperate with the investigation.
You should get Soo Ji instead of doing this.
Why?
Are you that sad you couldn't kill her the last time?
I let things pass the last time,
but not this time.
He was caught on the scene, but he won't say a thing.
That's the only way he can reduce his sentence.
- Pardon? - Abduction, murder, and disposal.
I'm sure Mr. Nam couldn't have done this alone.
Then are you saying someone ordered this?
Exactly.
That's why he's remaining silent.
"I won't say your name."
"Help me." He's sending a signal.
I did always think he had someone powerful behind his back...
because he would act...
completely dogmatic and still get away with it.
Do you have an idea?
I can't tell you about my speculation.
I may get charged with defamation.
Ms. Lee, you can go ahead and investigate thoroughly.
To give an order,
I'm sure they met or called each other.
I'm sure you'll find something if you search his cell phone.
Yes, we are onto it.
And I'll take care of Prosecutor Kim.
You take charge of Detective Nam.
We must find out who's behind him,
and arrest him too.
After Detective Nam gets arrested while trying to abandon a body,
they will find a phone call recording in his cell phone.
Chief Justice, it's been a while.
I must discuss something with you. When do you have the time?
Spy Lee Shin Hyuk's case...
might become an issue again.
What are you up to?
Why do you care?
Did you tell your family that you found your mom?
The police will call them soon.
So you're not going to do it?
Even if I call, they won't be happy to hear from me.
My dad and brother don't care about me.
I ran away from home so often to find Mom,
so they gave up on me.
When I went to jail for hacking,
they never visited me. I can barely call them my family.
But you still can...
meet your family if you try to.
So why is it so hard to give them a call?
Your mom returned after 10 years.
Are you going to let her see how her family has scattered away?
Dad, it's me. Kyung Soo.
No, I didn't get into trouble again.
I found...
Mom.
I am sorry to make you come here at this hour.
Take a seat. Would you like a cup of tea?
Say what you have to say.
We found a dead body.
A woman who witnessed during Lee Shin Hyuk's case.
If this case comes to light,
people will find out that the spy case was forged too.
Then people will find out you were wrong...
when you declared Lee Shin Hyuk as a spy...
as the chief justice who oversaw the case.
How can you be here?
It's okay.
Seung Ro knows everything now.
How?
I told him.
But he can't do anything even if he does.
He wouldn't want my dad's case to blow up before his hearing.
Do you have all of the witnesses?
Yes.
I just need to arrest Seung Ro.
Do Han.
Thank you.
His consciousness is back.
He'll be up in no time.
Yes.
He will be.
That sentencing was a mistake.
And yet, you covered it up.
You put pressure on people so...
his request for appeal was turned down.
Do you want...
not only the whole world but your son as well...
to find out?
What do you want from me?
Defend me.
How are things with Detective Nam?
Hi. They'll check his phone soon, just as we planned.
Great. How's your father?
He seems to be well.
I just saw him.
Be careful. Byung Jae might not be the only one working for Seung Ro.
It's fine. Now I can go back to being my dad's son.
You did well so far.
Yoon Seung Ro.
I'll get him.
It's too late, but I'll find out what happened to Yu Na.
After that,
I'll make up for what I did to you two...
and accept legal punishment.
It won't take long.
(Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency)
Did you really do that?
What were you thinking?
I don't want to hear that from you.
It's your life. You make your own choices.
Don't you care that your father will be worried?
I didn't tell him in case he worries...
You didn't...
Did you think he wouldn't know if you don't tell him?
Dad.
How have you been, Chief Justice?
I'm no longer chief justice. I retired long ago.
What are you doing here?
I'm not here as your father.
I'm here as your attorney.
What?
You refused to start a practice to avoid the politics.
Are you really here for me?
This and that.
I'm working on another case as well.
9:40pm is when he was trying to dump the body...
in the river. Was this call made then?
I checked if it was another man with the same name.
It's Chief Prosecutor Yoon Seung Ro.
Well, that escalated quickly.
That's what the call log says. Did you check things like...
photos, notes, and recordings saved on his phone?
Yes, we did, but we didn't find anything interesting.
What is strange is that there were hundreds of recordings.
They're all password-protected.
What did the cyber division say?
They can break the code, but it'll take over a year.
A year?
It's 16 characters long and a combination of...
letters, numbers, and symbols.
Not even the phone's manufacturer can help.
Detective Nam won't tell us the password.
I heard you need representation.
Did he send you?
I will get straight to the point.
If you want help, show the appropriate attitude.
My dad called.
The police called him to collect Mom's body.
The investigation's done.
I wish Bo Mi and I could be there.
It's more than enough that you helped me find her.
You grew up well.
Your mom will be proud.
What brings you here?
I had to come by. We were colleagues for a while.
I'm worried about what you'll have to...
go through in the future.
Will the person high up let you be after what happened?
Do you think he'll help...
if you keep quiet?
He won't.
There is no way he can trust you.
I worked for him for a long time...
and yet, you talk as if you know him better.
That's because...
I was closer to him...
than you were.
I heard and saw things.
Whatever offer he makes,
do not fall for it.
He's taking you to your death.
Do you know...
what I must do to live?
Tell the truth about what...
you were told to do.
Not only tell the police during the investigation,
but use the media...
and serve as a witness at his hearing.
Use whatever channels you think will help you share the truth.
Only then can he not harm you.
You know...
better than anyone what he does to people...
who get in his way.
This is the password that will unlock the recordings...
saved on his phone.
He accepted our offer.
What will you do now?
Detective Nam has been taking money from club owners...
in exchange for favors.
He tried to hide it by putting it in his wife's account.
His wife will have to be punished as well.
Tell Detective Nam that...
his child is still young.
He'll know what to do to avoid turning his wife into a criminal.
It's up to him.
Wait.
I'd like to apologize...
on behalf of my mom.
Why would you? You weren't even born then.
If she was alive,
she would have done this.
You don't have to do this.
Your mom did apologize.
She did?
She tried to make things right.
That's all I need.
I am the one who should apologize to your family.
What?
I should have told you about your mom sooner.
I couldn't tell you right away, because it was a burden...
she had tried to hide all her life.
I understand.
You caught the culprit with me.
That's enough.
You should go and bid farewell.

Why are you studying during lunch time?
I didn't finish my homework yet.
You sure are a good student.
Let's go.
- Oh, my. - What do you think?
Si Wan.
Let's go now.
