(Confession)
(Episode 13)
Please turn off the microphone.
Turn it off.
Yes, sir.
Say something.
Please give me some time to think.
Fine.
Just tell me one thing.
Did you kill her or not?
Why can't you answer me?
I killed her.
What did you...
...just say?
I said I killed her.
You punk!
That's all I can tell you for now.
You're making this so difficult.
Are you expecting me to believe that?
Fine.
Then tell me why you killed her.
You can't remain silent on this!
So what did he say?
He didn't tell you anything?
–Choon–ho! –He said he killed her.
–What? –He said he did it.
How does that make sense?
Gosh, what's happening here?
Why would Mr. Choi kill Jenny Song?
But maybe...
...he really killed her?
Think about it.
There is no stronger evidence than one's confession of murder.
Of course I want to believe Mr. Choi wouldn't do that,
but you never know...
Darn it.
Fine. Let's say he confessed.
What's the reason? Did he tell you why he did it?
No.
I'm not sure what he's thinking.
Choon–ho.
What are you going to do?
Are the two of you carrying out some police operation
without telling me?
Now that I think about it, this situation feels very odd.
–What do you mean?
–I don't believe Mr. Choi killed Jenny Song.
Mr. Choi also doesn't believe his father committed murder.
But both of them...
...have confessed to committing murder.
This is similar to what happened 10 years ago.
That's an odd coincidence.
Right.
What an odd coincidence.
–Mr. Choi. –Sir.
I'm on my way to meet with Jenny Song.
Jenny Song? Why are you meeting her all of a sudden?
She just called me and said...
...she'll tell me everything if I meet her now.
–Just now? –Yes.
Something seems suspicious.
I agree, but I should still go meet her.
And I'll send you an address.
Could you be on standby near there?
Are you anticipating something dangerous to happen?
That I'm not so sure of.
Anyway, we set a meeting time.
One hour from now.
Please follow her once the meeting is over.
Something was odd.
From the beginning.
And that guy.
Can you check the security cameras...
...for the car we passed by at the intersection?
I think it was him.
The guy that I saw at Hwang Kyo–sik's place.
Do you mean the guy who goes by either Mark Choi or Choi Byung–ho?
(Seoul Sunlim Hospital)
Did you check the security cameras?
Yes, I did.
It was last seen on Geonam Street.
I checked the security camera, and it was him.
I think he had secured a hideout and an escape route ahead of time.
I couldn't find any traces of him after.
Perhaps Chairman Oh or Park Si–kang is involved.
–Sorry, what did you say? –Forget it.
(If you don't admit to murder, Choi Pil–soo will die)
–We just need a minute. –Can we just see how he is, please?
I'm sorry, but I can't let you. Also, Mr. Choi doesn't want to
see anyone.
Just for a minute, please?
We have every right to visit a prisoner on remand.
Only family can visit. You're not his family.
Sir, you know that we're like family to him.
Please go home and wait. I'll give you a call.
Please?
Captain Ki!
–What happened?
–It makes no sense. Do–hyun would never...
–...kill anyone. –Please calm down.
How can I be calm now?
–Where is Do–hyun? –He's doing fine.
So please go home for now.
You know we can't do that.
I'll give you a call later, okay?
What's going on? Stop them!
Hurry! Stop them already!
Who sent them here?
I'm sorry, but we're still investigating.
We'll inform you later. I'm sorry.
(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)
How can this be happening? It really makes no sense.
I'm sure Captain Ki is figuring it out.
–Let's trust him and wait. –It's not that I don't trust him.
It doesn't make any sense. Not at all.
Why would Do–hyun kill her?
–He wouldn't do that. –You're right.
That's why we should wait.
Captain Ki is the one who...
...understands the situation the most.
Who do you think is behind this?
Jenny Song, a lobbyist, was found dead.
And someone framed Mr. Choi for it.
It's similar to how Cho Ki–tak killed Kim Sun–hee...
...and framed Han Jong–gu for it.
Then, who is capable of putting...
...Jenny Song and Do–hyun together?
Park Si–kang?
Why would he take such a risk right after being elected?
Oh Taek–jin.
But he would become an obvious suspect...
...if he were to kill the opponent's lobbyist.
In any case, both of them have enough motive to do it.
Block the reporters.
Do we have the ballistics residue result?
You have no patience at all. How could it be out already?
–Maybe it'll be ready by this afternoon.
–Can we rush it?
Please calm down, sir. We can't get it any faster.
Captain Shin will send it as soon as possible.
(Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo Shooting Death Case)
Is something wrong, Choon–ho?
Now that I think about it, they never sent me...
...the test result back then.
–What test? –The gunshot residue test result...
...from the Lt. Colonel Cha murder case...
...10 years ago.
What?
–I have to go. –Where are you going?
–Forensics division. –Choon–ho!
(KCSI, Korea Crime Scene Investigation)
–Here you go. –Thanks.
(Gunshot Residue Test, Choi Pil– soo)
(Test Result: Negative)
No residue was detected?
Even after firing three times?
Why did we not receive this back then?
I'm not sure. If we ran the test, we'd make sure to pass it on.
Both to the police and the prosecution.
No, I don't think so.
I definitely didn't receive this back then.
Are you sure you passed it on to the prosecution?
It was 10 years ago. I can't really remember.
I already told you. If we ran the test, we'd make sure to pass it on.
–Do you have Mr. Choi's? –Yes, I do.
It's underneath the other one.
(Gunshot Residue Test, Choi Do– hyun)
(Test Result: Negative)
You didn't do it.
You didn't kill her.
Ms. Song.
Ms. Song?
No gunshot residue...
...was found on your hands.
Why did you make a false confession?
What are you thinking?
Sir.
Did you also run this test...
...for my father's case 10 years ago?
They didn't send it to me back then.
Perhaps it was sent directly to the prosecution.
This is just supporting material.
It can't serve as decisive evidence.
What I mean is that your situation is different from that.
If you gather enough supporting material,
you can use them together as decisive evidence.
On top of that, this wasn't even used during that trial.
Since he had confessed, they didn't need to.
What do you want to do now?
I want to proceed as is.
Why would you do that?
We have evidence that you didn't do it.
It won't be a bad idea...
...to remain framed.
Why would you do that?
Sir.
I have a favor to ask you.
[K-Plus Asia ver.] Confession E13 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92
Mr. Lee. I think you should see this.
(A Shocking Gun Homicide Committed by a Lawyer)
–Where is Mr. Choi now?
–He's detained at the Eunseo Police Station.
–Do you have any information on the victim?
–Other than that she has dual citizenship,
the police aren't releasing any information.
–Did you ask them directly? –Yes.
They just said they can't tell us yet.
Yes, understood. Thank you.
Mr. Lee, Mr. Yang is looking for you.
You asked to see me?
Did you hear about Choi Do–hyun?
Yes, I just saw the news article.
–Please look into it.
–Police haven't asked for an arrest warrant.
Prosecutors can still investigate without the arrest warrant.
What is the outcome you'd like to see?
Mr. Lee, how much do you know about...
...Choi Do–hyun?
He placed second on the bar, and we were in the same trainee class.
I'm asking if you're aware of...
...Choi Do–hyun's father's case.
I know that he is on death row.
I handled...
...that case.
Pardon, sir?
I'm sure Choi Do–hyun's case is connected to that.
I would like you to look into it again.
Yes, sir. Will do.
Please only report it to me.
Every detail of it.
It was beyond threatening this time.
Seriously, what's happening?
Officer.
I have a favor to ask you.
(Choi Pil–soo)
I tried calling his office and cell phone.
He's not picking up.
(Chairman Chu Myung–geun)
–Yes.
–Chairman Oh Taek–jin from Yukwang is here.
Let him in, please.
(Memorandum of Understanding)
Jenny Song died.
Is that so? What happened?
The culprit who was caught red– handed...
...turned out to be Choi Do–hyun.
Choi Do–hyun.
–Isn't that Choi Pil–soo's son? –That's correct.
Why would Choi Pil–soo's son do such a thing?
Do you know anything about it?
I don't, sir.
Is that so?
But thanks to him,
we don't have anyone interfering with us.
All we need to do now is wait for the government's announcement.
–Have a seat. –Yes, sir.
There is a lot of chatter...
...about corruption at Yukwang.
I heard that the bereaved families of the Yurion helicopter crash...
...are also protesting.
I don't think the protests will last long.
A strong fire burns up fuel faster.
But I don't think...
...it'll resolve so simply this time.
There is a rumor that prosecutors are looking into it.
That's why I'm here to see you.
If you could please stop the prosecution side...
Gosh. What power do I have over them?
That might have worked in the past, but not these days.
Chairman Chu.
Well, you should head out now.
This time, we need to take the U.S. deal.
We already executed the MOU and...
I know that already.
If this fighter deal goes wrong...
...I'm basically done for.
Please, sir.
Please don't make this weak, old man...
...feel so ashamed of himself.
Aren't we in...
...the same boat, sir?
That sounds like you're saying you won't go down alone.
I got your point, so please leave now.
(Embite, a German company...)
I have no appetite.
I can't stop thinking about that scene.
I couldn't get used to it at first, either.
Sir.
When can I get my cell phone back?
You know the answer. It's evidence, so it'll take some time.
Who do you think killed Jenny Song?
At this point, the prime suspect is the man I saw at Hwang
Kyo–sik's place.
If we dig into it further, we'll find out...
...whether he's the culprit...
...or if there is someone else behind him.
Based on all the things that happened over the past year...
It looks like a contract killing.
And if someone did hire a hit man...
...it'd have been someone who was most troubled by Jenny Song.
And it'd be someone who would benefit from...
...framing me for the murder.
Why did you leak it to the media?
I wanted them to believe their plan worked.
Also...
(Reporter Ha Yu–ri)
Hello, Yu–ri.
Gosh, how can Do–hyun do this?
Are you telling us he's staying detained on purpose?
Someone killed Jenny Song...
...and framed him.
How is that an explanation?
He wants to make them put their guard down.
So that they believe it's going as they had planned.
I understand his intentions...
...but what if he gets transferred to the prosecution?
Then it would become a difficult situation.
You don't have to worry about that. I won't let that happen.
Do you have definitive evidence that it wasn't him?
Yes, definitely.
I know it's frustrating, but please trust Mr. Choi and wait a
little longer.
If anything changes, I'll let you know right away.
And just in case, please stay somewhere safe...
...whether it's your home or the office.
Will do.
Please don't worry about us.
Then we'll trust you...
...and wait for now.
Look at you, Mr. Yang.
Long time no see.
What's with that expression?
Do you not want me here?
I don't mean that, sir. Belated congratulations...
...on getting elected.
You don't need to congratulate me for a sure victory.
Please have a seat, sir.
(Choi Pil–soo)
Officer.
Can I ask you for one more favor?
(A Shocking Gun Homicide Committed by an Attorney)
In terms of Choi Do–hyun.
Make sure the prosecution puts an end to him.
I heard the person was dead...
...and he was caught on site with a gun in his hand.
Then regardless of who looks at it, he's the murderer.
The police are investigating it now.
I guess you didn't understand what I said.
You should tie up their hands.
So that they don't do anything unnecessary.
Just transfer him to the prosecution right away and get
it over with.
Why haven't you arrested Choi Pil–soo already?
The police are investigating it now.
I heard he was caught on site with a gun in his hand,
and he admitted it himself.
What else do you need to arrest him?
When they request an arrest warrant, we'll get him right away.
Darn it!
Do it now, you moron!
Do you not understand what I just said?
You think you're a big shot now.
You think you can keep your senior prosecutor position for long?
–I assume you got it. Let's drink then.
–Yes, sir.
Order the most expensive item on the menu.
I'll..
...get going for now.
Mr. Yang.
Can't you just go with the flow?
People should be...
...consistent.
You pocketed your share...
...but you forgot about it?
Mr. Yang.
I asked why you're not requesting an arrest warrant.
I already told you. We're not done with our investigation.
Just hand it over, and we'll take care of it.
No matter what you say...
...we have our own procedures we need to follow.
What's the matter?
You're that former detective, right?
You got me pretty badly on the Han Jong–gu case.
Why is he here?
He's a detective at this station.
–Did he rejoin the force? –Yes.
He returned and is now working for me. Why do you ask?
Is that why you're not handing over Choi Do–hyun?
Because you two got close during the Han Jong–gu case?
Don't insult the police!
That's enough.
Please give us a little more time.
We still have a few things we need to figure out.
Whatever you need to figure out...
...we'll take care of it.
Choi Do–hyun is a lawyer.
Don't make a mistake and give him a chance to get away.
Just hand him over, please.
We haven't even completed the primary investigation.
You're so slow. No wonder people complain about the police so much.
What did you say?
I heard he was caught red–handed.
It's game over then. Why waste time doing the primary investigation?
Many murderers have gotten away...
...because of primary investigations being
done improperly. Won't you please
help us...
...so that we don't repeat such a mistake?
So are you saying you can't hand him over?
That's correct.
You have two days to request a warrant and hand him over to
the prosecution.
Let me make things clear.
It won't be you next time.
We'll go directly to your chief.
Goodness.
Choon–ho. How long will you keep him here?
As long as Mr. Choi wants.
This isn't a place where you can stay or leave as you please.
It's not like we're strangers.
Just think of it as us letting him stay for a few days.
Darn it.
A prosecutor was here.
Just like your father's case.
Who came?
Are you thinking it was Senior Prosecutor Yang In–bum?
It wasn't him. It was Prosecutor Lee Hyun–jun.
They must be in this together.
Goodness.
Are you going to keep doing this?
You managed to protect me today...
...when you couldn't do the same for my father 10 years ago.
Gosh.
So, are you going to keep doing this?
Have I been cleared of my charges?
We have no cause to keep you any longer.
Did you see this coming?
(Voice Recordings)
(Recording)
I wanted to record Jenny Song's statement.
But I didn't know this would happen.
Ms. Song.
Yes, it's me.
We're good to go.
This is the police. How may I help you?
Is it the police?
I think I heard a gunshot.
There weren't any gunshot sounds on the recording.
There wasn't any gunshot residue on your hands either.
Besides, the recording captured...
...someone else's voice calling the police.
The prosecution has their eyes on us, so I won't be able to
buy much time.
Captain Ki.
Is there any way I can go to Hwaye again?
For what?
Jenny Song and Kim Sun–hee were witnesses.
That means Chairman Oh made a false statement...
...when he said only he, Lt. Colonel Cha,
and my father were at the scene.
If that's the case...
...it's plausible there was someone else when it happened.
Someone else?
Like Park Si–kang?
Or someone else...
...other than Park Si–kang.
I'd like to investigate the scene again on that assumption.
I'm sure I'll find something that was unseen.
Okay.
(A Shocking Gun Homicide Committed by an Attorney)
After all I did to save him...
This can't be.
My son would never...
(Hwaye)
Captain Ki.
What is it?
Something is strange.
Strange?
Check this bloodstain on the floor.
Hold on a second.
There was something.
It's next to Lt. Colonel Cha.
Right?
It got smudged.
It's different from the other bloodstains, isn't it?
Right, this is clearly different.
According to Chairman Oh,
my father, Lt. Colonel Cha, and Chairman Oh himself...
...were the only ones here, right?
When I got the report and arrived here...
There was no one next to Lt. Colonel Cha, nor was there
any object.
When I met with Jenny Song the other day...
...she told me...
...that my father risked his life to save Kim Sun–hee.
Can we trust that woman?
I told her the same thing.
What did she say?
You don't have to.
That's up to you...
...to decide.
I just wanted to tell you what I know...
...about that incident from 10 years ago.
It didn't seem like she was lying.
We better go now.
Let's go think carefully again.
Okay.
Someone was there...
...next to the late Lt. Colonel Cha.
Captain Ki.
I have a favor to ask.
What favor?
Please meet my father.
Will he let me?
He's probably heard the news...
...about me by now.
I'm sure he won't refuse.
Did you have this in mind...
...when you wanted the press to cover your case?
Unbelievable.
I'm going to apply for a retrial.
A retrial?
I have all the evidence I need.
But I need him to reverse his confession himself before then.
Please persuade him...
...in person.
I'll do what I can.
Hi, it's me. Can I talk to Mr. Choi?
–Mr. Choi, speaking. –Hi, Mr. Choi.
He isn't in prison. He's currently at the hospital.
What? Is he sick?
I don't know any details yet. I'll go see him first.
Okay, call me.
Okay, bye.
Don't worry too much.
The rest of the treatment will take place back in prison.
Get ready to go.
I'm sorry.
Hi, it's me.
Okay.
Mr. Choi, it's Captain Ki.
Captain Ki, did you see him?
What?
Breaking news.
Condemned prisoner, Choi Pil–soo, who got stabbed...
...and was urgently transferred to a hospital, has run away.
The police have issued an urgent statement...
...and announced...
...that he's currently on the wanted list.
As the cause of his escape hasn't been revealed yet...
...the police plan to investigate this...
...with the possibility of his committing another crime in mind.
Search the room.
What is your business here?
Where on earth did he go?
He'll be safe, right?
He should be.
By the way, we've got to get in contact with Mr. Choi.
There's no movement near the entrance.
Keep standing by at the office.
Roger that.
(Hwaye)
Hello.
This place looks pretty much the same.
Goodness.
Jenny Song is dead.
I know.
That woman acted up too much.
Don't you think so?
Why the long face?
Isn't it good for us?
Recently...
...there's been a bit of a ruckus at the company.
Oh, please.
Like that's going to cause trouble.
Your company isn't one to get affected by a mere sum of money.
If it bothers you that much, ask Mr. Chu for help.
Well, he's changed his attitude.
What, Mr. Chu?
–He seemed the same to me. –Assemblyman Park.
About the attack helicopter deal...
I'll give you...
...half of our company's share.
What?
The company might fall into danger if things go awry.
Goodness, we can't let that happen.
Please put in a good word for me with Mr. Chu.
Mr. Chu, right?
Don't worry.
Whatever he does, I'm completely on your side.
I'm relieved to hear that.
Let me pour you another drink.
But I wonder...
...why you wanted to see me here.
Are you trying to pose a silent threat...
...with the past incident or something?
Of course not.
I just wanted us to remember that we're on the same side forever.
Ask me to see you here one more time.
That'll be the end of our business and everything else.
And let me...
...remind you once again.
Lt. Colonel Cha.
You murdered him.
Isn't that right?
Let's go to my house.
I'm tired.
Commander Oh.
Warrant Officer Choi, how did you...
What have you done...
...to my son?
It wasn't me.
I warned you...
...not to mess with my son.
It really wasn't me.
Then who was it?
Who framed my son for murder?
I don't know. I swear.
Have you forgotten? I'm a condemned prisoner.
Whatever I do here...
...it makes no difference. Do you understand?
So what if I tell you the truth?
Do you think that will make any difference?
This is it.
I'm going to ask you one last time.
Who was it?
Say it!
Park Si–kang.
It was Park Si–kang.
He's an incumbent assemblyman.
Are you going to mess with him or what?
I told you.
I'm a condemned prisoner.
If anyone tries to harm my son...
...I'll make them pay for it.
Before then...
...shouldn't you meet your son first?
You don't have much time.
Then again...
...you might get to see your son...
...in prison soon enough.
Or...
...he might end up dying...
...even before he goes to prison.
How are you plotting things?
Why Germany all of a sudden?
We could've talked about this over the phone.
You didn't have to come yourself when you're already busy as it is.
Now that Jenny Song is dead, there's nothing that can stop us.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Say something.
–Assemblyman Park. –What?
You know how much I lobbied so that it would go to the Americans.
Assemblyman Park.
What?
You won't be losing anything from this.
Your share will remain the same.
Chairman Oh won't be happy about this.
He's going to go through some trouble from now on.
Is he?
Well, as long as it doesn't do any harm to me.
If we're good now...
...you can go take care of our nation's affairs.
Check them, sir.
But you must come alone.
If someone accompanies you...
...you'll lose your chance to hear the truth for good.
Who ordered you to do this?
Isn't it better that you don't know?
Now that things have turned out this way...
...can't you just tell me?
For the sake of our times spent together.
It's the company's orders.
The company?
Not Mr. Chu?
It's the company.
What did I do all this for?
Too bad I have to die alone.
Are you really not going to...
...change your mind?
(Memorandum of Understanding)
(This memorandum serves as an agreement between Embite and
Songil Foundation.)
(President Tobias Kauftmann, Chairman Chu Myung–geun)
(Chu Myung–geun)
–What happened?
–He must've heard the news about you.
Things are spinning out of control.
I didn't know he'd go that far.
Can you think of any place he might go?
–I need to get out of here. –Where will you go?
I must find my father before something happens.
If things go awry...
...applying for a retrial could become impossible.
(Police Service Charter)
Dad.
I'd like to talk to him somewhere quiet.
Follow me.
Darn it.
Prosecutor Lee. Prosecutor Lee!
What brings you here at this time?
–Where is Suspect Choi Do–hyun? –Pardon?
Where is he?
–Well... –Prosecutor Lee.
What brings you here today?
He's here for a security investigation.
You're done with the primary investigation, right?
Where is the suspect?
Security investigation...
What's the rush? Isn't it too late?
–You could've come when the sun comes up.
–You must've lost your touch...
...because you recently got back to the field.
We have the authority over the investigation. Do you understand?
Where is Choi Do–hyun?
Why don't you sit and have some coffee? Detective Kim,
make them coffee.
–Oh, sure. –I don't want coffee.
The prosecution has concluded...
...that the murder suspect should not be under police protection.
Let me ask you again.
Where is Suspect Choi Do–hyun?
Like you said, I returned to the field after being away for so long.
I've lost my touch.
Wait here. I'll go over the document and give you an answer.
–Are you kidding me? –Prosecutor Lee.
–Choi Do–hyun.
–Where is Choi Do–hyun? –Prosecutor Lee!
Yes, Senior Prosecutor Yang.
Well, that's...
I apologize.
Pardon?
Yes, sir.
Darn it. Why isn't anyone cooperating?
Goodness.
Choon–ho.
I know.
Don't get worked up. Let's wait a little.
How do you expect me not to get worked up here? If this gets out...
I'll take responsibility.
Don't worry.
Goodness gracious.
Dad.
What happened?
I was so worried.
Why did you go to the hospital?
Well...
...I got a little hurt.
Is it bad?
I'm fine now.
(If you don't admit to murder, Choi Pil–soo will die)
They will keep doing this.
They will frame me.
–And they'll threaten you. –I told you.
I told you to stop.
I did not kill anyone.
You didn't believe it.
Nor do I believe that you did it.
That's why...
That's why I can't stop.
Do–hyun.
Retrial.
I'm going to apply for it.
Must you...
...do this?
Dad.
Tell me.
What happened that day?
Dad.
I...
...did not kill him.
What?
Who was it?
Who put the blame on you?
It was me.
–I did it myself. –What are you talking about?
When the commander gave me an offer...
...I couldn't refuse.
No, I had no choice.
I promised your mom...
...that I would save you.
That I would save you...
...and protect you.
Choon–ho, shouldn't you tell me what this is about?
Choon–ho.
Who killed Lt. Colonel Cha Seung– hoo?
I'm not exactly sure who murdered him.
I didn't get to see it.
There were numerous people in that place.
–Among them... –Park Si–kang was there.
Jenny Song and Kim Sun–hee too.
One more.
There was one more person.
I don't know who that person is...
...but he seemed to be the most influential among all of them.
The real power behind the scene.
What, the real power?
He's the one at the top...
...whom we must chase after.
A lot of people were sacrificed.
Those who committed that incident...
...are still wielding their power.
I've promised everyone.
At least for the sake of the innocent victims...
...I'm going to make them stand trial.
It's true that I started this to prove your innocence...
...but this case didn't stop 10 years ago.
The murderer who killed Lt. Colonel Cha...
...hasn't stopped killing people.
People who knew the truth of that day...
...are all dead.
Now it's only you and me.
We must put an end to this.
I'm sorry.
Though it's too late for me...
...I'll tell you the truth that I know.
Lawyer Choi Do–hyun.
I would like to ask you to defend me...
...on the retrial of Lt. Colonel Cha's murder case.
I accept...
...your request.
(Confession)
I'm requesting a retrial for Choi Pil–soo,
who is serving his sentence...
...after being accused of murdering Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo
10 years ago.
We, the Violent Crimes Unit of the Eunseo Police Station,
have decided...
...to reinvestigate Lt. Colonel Cha's murder case.
–Did you come back to do this? –I'll find the real culprit.
Tell me, Chairman Oh. Does this trial feel like someone
else's business to you?
If I open my mouth, you won't be able to get away either.
You've prepared 10 years for this.
I'll make sure to do a good job.
