Hurry!

Sir.

- Sir, please stop that person!

- Are you An Yun-su?

- Stop that black hoodie!

- Calm down.

- No, that person!

- Ms. An, it's not that

Please stop that person

in the black hoodie!

- No, not me!

- Calm down.

You have to stop that person!

Let go of me!

You have to stop them.

That person k*lled my husband.

Hurry up. Move it!

Hurry up!

Get a move on!

Come on!

Face the wall!

- Stand up straight.

- Move!

Face the wall.

Line up outside in single file. Move it!

- Hurry up.

- In single file!

Face the wall.

- Count off.

- One.

- Two.

- Three.

- Four.

- Five.

Get out here now!

Inmate 1605!

Inmate 1605!

What?

Check there.

Who had afternoon solitary duty?

Officer Jung. She's gone home,

and I can't get ahold of her.

Are you kidding me?

OPERATION CASE

GU HUI-YEONG, AGE 17

INTERVIEW AT 3 P.M. ON 26TH

DETECTIVE RYU JI-SU

Baek Dong-hun speaking.

This is Ryu Ji-su.

There seems to be an issue with An Yun-su.

She violated probation and left her house.

She says someone came into her yard,

so she went after them.

MO EUN MISSING FROM DETENTION

AS OF 10:30 P.M.

Hello, Officer Bae. Yes.

Is she badly hurt?

No, I'll be right there. Okay.

Okay.

Mr. Jang, you need to stop by

Ms. An's place first.

She said she left Sop at home.

Some officers have gone there,

but she says Sop will be scared of them.

Damn it.

Who are you, sir?

- I'm An Yun-su's attorney.

- Hold on a second.

You're her attorney?

Turn off the flashing lights.

You want to wake everyone up?

It's okay. We're going to Mommy.

It's okay. I hear you.

Turn them off now!

I'll take you to Mommy.

Hey, Sop.

Sop, it's me.

You're okay. I'll take her.

I've got her. Hey, Sop. It's me.

Scary, wasn't it?

Check the detention center CCTVs,

and track Mo Eun's exact movements.

Yes.

I've heard what happened

and get that you had a hard time.

But as per procedure, it's our job

to handle probation violations.

I'm afraid you can't.

We'll write her up and book her in

for obstruction of justice

and assaulting an officer.

You see, this isn't that simple.

A single report from you

could completely ruin a person's life.

Are you trying to scare me off? Huh?

So what?

You want to cover up a clear offense

out of sympathy? Is that it?

I don't mean cover it up.

I mean, we should review this

rationally and carefully.

You've got to be kidding me.

I told you to watch the kid,

not bring her here!

Keep it down, will you?

You'll wake her up.

- Why did you bring Sop all the way here?

- She's only just stopped crying.

Could you get me out of these?

Please uncuff her.

She's not going to run

when her kid is right here.

- And who might you be?

- He's Ms. An's attorney.

Is that true?

Yes, sir.

Uncuff her.

Yes, sir.

I'll be back soon.

You can talk to me from now on.

Sure. Why not?

You can see her pushing

and assaulting the police, can't you?

No, not me! You have to stop that person!

No

No, let me go.

Just let me go, for God's sake!

Oh my.

You have to stop them.

As you can see,

we were following procedure

in making the arrest.

That's a fact.

"A fact"?

There were several officers,

yet you're accusing

an injured woman of as*ault?

She was going wild, charging at us.

What were we supposed to do?

That'll be up for debate in due time.

What I really don't understand

is why no one heard

what my client was saying.

Look,

we went there to arrest her,

not to listen to some story.

Are you saying you chose to ignore her?

She's wearing an ankle monitor,

accused of murdering her husband.

Why should we listen to someone like her?

For what reason?

Sergeant,

can you write down what you just said

in your report word for word?

Why would I do that? Huh?

That's confirmation bias on your part.

You were just going to arrest her

without fully investigating, weren't you?

- Now, come on.

- Excuse me.

What's this?

I found what the police missed.

She said someone was in her yard.

She ran out to go after the person

peeking into her house.

But the police won't hear her out.

- So you need proof.

- Yes.

I'll find it.

You should go to Ms. An.

It's clear there was an intruder

and that she ran after them.

Her clash with the police will be seen

as self-defense, not intentional.

What do you think?

If this goes to court,

the police will be exposed

for dereliction of duty.

Shall we reveal this and hear

what the court and the public have to say?

Well, I mean

It's not even under our jurisdiction,

so you can take her

and file the report yourself.

Come on, don't look at me like that.

To be honest,

we were just there as backup.

Exactly.

I'm finding it a little awkward

that you've ended up in a sticky situation

after all that trouble.

Well, I'll leave you to it, then.

Take this with you, sir!

Is that ours?

Wow.

My anklet is so much prettier now.

Thank you.

Here too.

I love it.

How did it go?

It worked out well.

You can go home in a few days.

By "well," what do you

What happened today

will be reported to the court.

We'll have to see whether the judge

will grant you mitigation.

I'm sure they will.

You'll do a good job writing the report,

won't you?

I will?

But I'm just going to report it

as it happened.

That's all we need.

Just the facts, as they are.

That's what we want.

Yeah.

I'll postpone our meeting next week.

You can come to my office

once you're home and feeling better.

No, I'll come as scheduled.

Can we go home now?

Sop, let's go.

Will you be okay?

Yes, I'll be fine.

Neurosurgeon to Ward 7, please.

For God's sake.

Hi! You must be Sop.

Do you like chocolate milk?

Why don't we have some over there?

No, Sop. You shouldn't follow strangers.

Ms. An.

MO EUN MISSING FROM DETENTION

AS OF 10:30 P.M.

Who were you after?

Who was it?

It's your job to find out.

That's why I'm asking

who you thought you were after.

Someone sneaked into her yard

and peeked into her house.

Someone in a black hoodie.

What more do you need?

She's the victim here.

Why are you always accusing her?

Let's go, Sop.

Come on.

DAEUN HOSPITAL

It's on the flash drive.

Thanks.

The officers' dashcam footage.

You've already heard

that they found Mo Eun.

So what was that for?

I wanted to see

the look on An Yun-su's face

and see how tight the chokehold is that

Mo Eun has on her out here from in prison.

That's what.

Doctor!

She went into shock from a spider bite

and was rushed in.

I gave her medicine to calm her down

and put her to sleep.

How long has it been?

About three hours since she took--

No,

since you dozed off.

Oh, me?

I just nodded off for a bit

after staying up all night.

Have I done something wrong?

She was taken to the infirmary,

but the guards forgot to log it

during the shift change.

These things happen from time to time.

By the way,

during the time Mo Eun went missing,

the cameras that would've captured her

weren't working, coincidentally.

Nothing was recorded

due to a server error.

Do you think something might've happened

during that time?

According to Ms. Eom,

nothing else was out of the ordinary.

I felt it wasn't my place to keep prying.

I see. Thank you for everything.

It was you who took the trouble.

And please tell Ms. An

not to worry too much.

I will.

How did you do it?

Was it really you?

Or did you get someone else to do it?

I'll only believe what I've seen.

What I've seen with my own eyes.

By the way,

even if you get out,

don't get any funny ideas.

Wherever you are or whatever you're doing,

I'll always be watching you.

I'm putting an expiration date

on our deal.

You have to k*ll him

before your appeal.

If you miss the deadline

because you hesitate,

I'll retract my confession

on the witness stand at your trial.

Then you will return to this place

under the world's critical gaze.

And your daughter will end up alone,

resenting you for the rest of her life.

There's only one way

for you to clear your name

and be with your daughter.

How the hell did you do it?

Isn't it ironic?

That you actually have to commit a m*rder

to clear yourself of a m*rder charge.

Still, when it comes to mothers,

they say they'll do anything

for their child, don't they?

What about you?

Do you think

you can k*ll that kid?

Inmate 407,

you're moving to the shared cell.

The other inmates are whispering

that the Witch used magic last night.

Only you seem untouched

by all the chaos you created.

I slept like a baby for once,

thanks to the infirmary meds.

We're moving you to the shared cell

at your attorney's request.

But will you be okay around others?

Are you worried

about me?

Or the others?

Both.

I see.

I'm Mo Eun. Hope we get along.

Here. Over here.

You can use this locker. She just moved

to another cell this morning.

Hey.

We've met before, right?

In the yard.

You can call me Pudgy.

Are you on a f*cking blind date?

What's with all the g*dd*mn introductions?

Who the hell is it?

- f*ck.

- The Witch.

I mean, Mo Eun.

The Witch?

f*ck.

Damn, you are the one

who got our art teacher out of here?

You look f*cking weak though.

f*ck, your arm is like a damn chopstick.

You actually k*lled someone with it?

That was unnecessary, wasn't it?

I mean, we'll split up after a few months

of living on top of each other anyway.

As long as you don't provoke me first.

Hey, Witch.

So nothing will happen

as long as no one provokes you, right?

Yes.

Hi.

I'm Rowdy.

You're really pretty.

You've got pretty eyes, nose, and lips.

Damn, a girl like you

should be Miss Korea.

Well, f*ck.

Don't they have f*cking beauty pageants

in here for girls like her?

You'll win for sure.

They better give you tons of prizes.

Here.

No!

You must stop them.

That person k*lled

Just let me go, for God's sake!

- You have to stop them.

- Ms. An.

That person k*lled my husband.

That person k*lled my husband.

"That person"

We're taking you in

That person k*lled my husband.

"k*lled my

husband."

That person k*lled my husband.

The hooded jacket

exists?

There.

Can you see them go into the station?

Here.

They lost them

after they slipped into the crowd.

According to the police,

it could be a paparazzo

or some crazy clout chaser.

The kind trying to use you for attention.

How can we find this person?

It's been reported,

so we'll have to wait and see.

We must find them at all costs.

If it's making you feel that uneasy,

should I ask for extra patrols?

No.

It's okay.

The person vanished without a trace.

That means they switched outfits

right in the crowd.

That's highly likely.

But I just don't understand.

Who would go to all this trouble?

I heard all they did was sneak a peek

into the house.

When it's confusing,

rule out the uncertain things first.

Then clarity will emerge.

What would that be?

Circumstantial clues

that the two women made a deal.

Your husband's old college

reached out to me about his exhibition.

They'd like to exhibit

what he was working on as a memorial.

They asked if you could bring in

his last piece, which is in his studio.

Don't close your eyes, Ki-dae.

Open your eyes. Don't close them.

Don't close your eyes, Ki-dae.

Please hurry!

I'm breaking my back

trying to keep our family afloat.

No, it's not broken.

- Hey, honey.

- Yeah?

I might actually start teaching

at the university.

Is the chair still talking you into it?

I don't mind. You do what you want, babe.

But

don't you think my back's still sexy?

What?

It's definitely sexy. You've still got it.

- Let me do this, then.

- Hang on!

Hey!

- You're going to ruin it.

- No, I won't!

You are if you do that.

- But you did it.

- I did well.

No erasing it, okay? You promised.

Is this your drawing of her?

Did you have feelings for him?

OH SEO-WON

The number you have dialed

is not in service.

Please check the number and try again.

The number you have dialed

is not in service.

Please check the number and try again.

MS. OH SEO-WON

Are you here to see Seo-won?

Yes.

She left a few days ago,

saying she was going on a trip.

To where?

I don't know. She didn't say.

Thank you.

You're that friend,

aren't you?

She had such a hard time

after she was taken in for questioning.

Why are you here?

You think you can just skip procedures

and show up unannounced like this?

It's not your case.

Had I been on the case,

I wouldn't have come like this.

I officially requested visitation.

If this is personal,

I can't allow it.

I was going to just leave

if the defendant refused.

I didn't think

her attorney would show up like this.

Did you hear about An Yun-su?

She violated probation and left her house

in the middle of the night.

She could've had her bail revoked

and ended up back here, but--

Why would you talk to my client

about Ms. An?

Fortunately, she was caught by the police.

She said she was after someone

who had intruded on her front yard.

Who was it?

That's what everyone wants to know.

Who did she want to catch so badly

that she'd leave her precious daughter

behind and even risk

going back to prison?

And during that time,

you went missing in here.

What kind of answer are you

I don't want an answer.

I just thought you should know.

I know you're curious

about what An Yun-su is up to out there.

That's why you had your lawyer

deliver your letter to her

and made him exchange information

with her lawyer.

Don't you know

accomplices can't talk to each other?

Who are you calling an accomplice?

That's the prosecution's one-sided claim.

It's a reasonable suspicion.

And it's growing stronger every day.

It is interesting.

Why you'd come all the way here

just to feel me out.

And who Yun-su was chasing last night.

But please leave my attorney out of this.

He already has the short end of the stick

with an impossible client.

I think we're done here.

We're done here.

I know you're suspicious of both of them.

I get it.

But it's uncomfortable

to see you baiting her this way.

"Even a psychopath has the right

to a legal defense."

That is probably the principle

that made you volunteer for the case.

The way you people think

you're the only righteous ones.

It

it f*cking makes me sick.

There's no place for a lawyer

in this case.

And you know it.

You should go back now.

Your client is waiting.

You really had

nothing to do with it, right?

With what?

With the person who showed up

at Ms. An's house last night.

Do you actually think

I somehow got out?

Well, no.

Not exactly.

Then what?

I didn't think you'd be the type.

But you're also quite imaginative,

aren't you?

It's just that Ms. An seems very anxious.

I see.

Stop.

Inmates 278 and 3392, into your cells.

Get going.

Should we just go?

Today's trial

is only about the dentist couple,

so there's no need for you to attend.

I can go alone--

No.

I want to see it.

Those here for the trial,

please line up here.

Reporters

THE DENTIST COUPLE m*rder

and those involved,

proceed to Courtroom 501.

Those with a gallery pass,

proceed to Video Courtroom 502.

- Arms out, please.

- Make sure there's no confusion!

Please line up over here. Great.

I noticed your clothes

were all crumpled up last time.

I tried to pick something

as similar as possible.

Don't you like them?

I just

prefer my own clothes.

Sure.

Thank you.

This way.

Are you okay?

Please take a seat.

Ms. An decided to stay in the next room

with her lawyer.

You know, too many reporters here.

How would you know who I'm looking for?

I just ran into her on my way in.

What about the victim's family?

Are they here?

I think only the grandfather came.

He's in the next room too.

Do you have

something to tell them?

Here.

Over here.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Hello.

All rise.

Please be seated.

The defense

may make its opening statement.

Yes, Your Honor.

Not long ago,

I asked the defendant

if she wanted anything

from me as her attorney.

She replied,

"Please just stay next to me

until the trial is over."

The truth is,

there's nothing I can do as her attorney.

Her crime was

too blatant and brutal

to plead for leniency.

And because she knew this,

she didn't ask me for anything.

Even so,

the reason I'm standing here today

is to ensure the defendant

pays the proper price for her crime

as she lives on.

Even if someone deserves to die

You don't

they still have the right to live.

You don't

The defendant has fully admitted

to all of her crimes.

Don't get

any funny ideas.

Also, the defendant

Don't get any funny ideas.

have much time.

Just a moment!

Ms. Mo, what did you just say?

- Didn't you mouth something to the camera?

- Your Honor.

Ms. Mo, what did you say?

Your Honor,

he's interrupting my statement.

You know you're not allowed to speak

from the gallery.

Who were you mouthing to?

Counselor, ask to review the footage.

Prosecutor Baek Dong-hun,

take your seat.

Your Honor,

we ask to view the defendant's recording.

"You don't have much time."

"Don't get any funny ideas."

Should I say it again?

"You don't have much time."

"Don't get any funny ideas."

Silence in court.

Ms. Mo.

Why did you say that?

Who was it meant for,

and what did you mean by it?

Objection, Your Honor. It's irrelevant.

She said it in court during the trial.

I will decide its relevance

after listening.

Ms. Mo.

Answer the question.

It wouldn't be appropriate.

Are you sure you want me

to say it here?

You don't have much time.

Don't get any funny ideas.

You don't have much time.

Don't get any funny ideas.
