Defendant
I found you.
Spare me. Spare me just once.
This is Mr. Cha Min Ho's arrest warrant.
- Where do you people think this is! - Mr. Cha Min Ho!
I'm Cha Seon Ho.
I'm Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo from the Seoul Central
District Prosecutor's Office, Violent Crimes Division.
This is the arrest warrant for Cha Min Ho.
Cooperate with him, please.
We're going up.
Let's go.
Where is Vice President Cha Min Ho?
I will be sure to find him.
Really, that psycho.
The prosecutors even came to the office. Turn yourself in.
It's 15 years. Fifteen years!
There's no other way.
Why would there be no other way?
You are my older brother.
You can do this much for me, right?
Honey, something happened to Brother-in-Law.
Brother-in-Law...
Yeon Hee.
That's right. It's me, Min Ho.
I can't believe it. He's not one to do such things.
Do you mean about him killing someone or the fact that he jumped?
The patient has regained consciousness.
Tell me.
Min Ho.
Min Ho. Min Ho!
Min Ho.
Yes, he reeked of alcohol.
There was no alcohol found in his blood.
The last person he met was President Cha Seon Ho.
Nice to meet you. I'm Cha Seon Ho.
Min Ho...
Min Ho.
What did you say? Say it again.
Min Ho...
Min Ho.

Episode 2
I will declare the time of death for Mr. Cha Min Ho.
On September 17th at thirteen hundred hours (1PM).
Wait a moment, please.
There are a few things that I need to verify beforehand.
Pardon?
There's something called protocol that needs to be followed.
Whether it is or is not a suicide... Let's verify it through an autopsy.
What do you mean it's not a suicide?
There's a suicide note, isn't there?
Because he's the primary suspect of a violent
crime, there's nothing that can be done.
Don't you need the permission of the deceased's family?
I can't kill our Min Ho a second time.
Investigator.
Yes.
Please file a warrant for an autopsy.
I understand.
The chairman has arrived, Sir.
Cha Min Ho.
Father, save...
You're saying that kid actually died?
Yes.
Then it's fine.
Pardon?
It's a good thing. For Chamyung and for you.
Think of it as him taking a bullet for all of us.
He only shares blood with you. He's completely different from you.
We can just pretend he never existed. You forget him too.
Yes.
Be very alert and wrap things up well.
Everyone is watching us.
Yes.
We can just pretend he never existed.
Min Ho.
Why are you here only now? Do you know how much I wanted to see you?
Why is your face so haggard, Min Ho?
Madam, it's your older son.
No. It's our Min Ho. Isn't that right, Min Ho?
It is. You are our Min Ho.
Do you think a mom wouldn't recognize her own child?
Yes, you're right, Mother.
Our Min Ho, why are you here only now?
I missed you so much.
All this time, why didn't you come?
These days, her symptoms have rapidly...
Make sure Mother doesn't know because the shock will be big for her.
Yes.
Madam, let's go inside.
VIP Ward
Where's Seon Ho? Why doesn't Seon Ho come?
From where did you see?
Perhaps, did he...
The warrant will soon be issued.
How far does this bastard plan to go?
I lost one son.
I can't lose the only remaining one.
I just need to analyze the cause of death for you, right?
As for external injuries, it WAS FROM THE FALL. NAME: Cha
MIN HO, DATE OF DEATH: 16. 09. 17, REASON FOR DEATH: Fall
Identify the body first, please.
Pardon? Isn't he the guy from the news?
His family member's here too.
Let's do so.
His fingertips are all damaged.
I guess we can't use fingerprinting.
Let's do a DNA test. We happen to have a sample from him.
No, if they are identical twins, wouldn't the DNA be the same?
That's right. So what do you propose?
Do it with fingerprinting.
I just told you that they're all ruined.
President Cha Seon Ho can do it for us.
What do you...
It would be one or the other:
When President Cha gets verified, the other person would be too.
Is this request too burdensome for you?
If that's what you really want.
You can receive the result tomorrow.
Let's go.
Why do you even bother to report to me?
You filed for a warrant by yourself and even ordered an autopsy.
It's a case that we and Chamyung both feel burdened by.
Why would you take a case with a suicide note that...
It was you who proved Chairman Seong Wan Pil's will was forged.
That's why I'm like this. You want to be like me?
Yes.
Hey Jeong Woo, what exactly are you thinking?
They say it's a suicide. Are you saying someone killed him or something?
Tomorrow, when the results come out, you'll know.
And if we're wrong? Then what?
Believe in me, Boss.
Sure.
Have a go.
Yes.
CEO Cha Seon Ho
Investigator, order a warrant for the autopsy.
He's not one to commit suicide.
You can confirm the results for us, President Cha Seon Ho.
The results will be out tomorrow.
Murder at Chamyung's Countryhouse in Yangjoo's prime
suspect, Cha Min Ho 790830-10 (RESIDENT REGISTRATION NUMBER)
Tomorrow is the end for you.
Autopsy Room
The fingerprints are 99.9% identical to Cha Seon Ho's.
So this person must be Cha Min Ho. The suicide note's handwriting was also his.
Are you really Cha Min Ho?
The cause of death is multiple fractures due to the fall
and hypovolemic shock due to blood loss.
In particular, his skull fracture...
I came to take our Min Ho.
I think it's time for the funeral.
Your little brother died,
and you're laughing?
I want just the two of us to have a moment.
Okay.
Hyung, I am sorry.
I had no choice.
You understand, right?
Thank you, Hyung.
Please sign here.
It's done. The deceased will be escorted back to the hospital.
I understand.
By the way, did he wear glasses when he was alive?
Huh?
There are glasses marks.
He liked sunglasses.
Chamyung
Yes, well for now, I understand.
Goodbye.
Good job, all of you.
Please listen to me.
How long are you going to go willy-nilly everywhere?
Let's all have a drink and close the case.
You submit a report.
The car is stopped at a traffic signal.
What should I do?
I understand.
You did well.
PRESS CONFERENCE: Chamyung Group's Apology Towards the Entire Nation
For being a cause of concern to the people of the nation,
I sincerely apologize.
First, former Vice President Cha Min Ho's entire
personal assets will be donated to charity.
In addition, for all the multiple allegations
that have been brought against VP Cha Min Ho,
I will actively co-operate with the investigation.
In addition, for victim compensation...
the group will not withhold financial support.
A quiet funeral will be held.
Yes.
Now it is really done.
Case Closed Report
Prosecutor, have you finished the closed case report?
Chief wants you to post it right away.
Here you are.
Wait a second.
Cha Min Ho has an unusual medical history.
Have you heard of trypanophobia?
It's an extreme fear of sharp things.
They're twins, but only Cha Min Ho has it.
There's someone I have to give this to first.
Cha Min Ho
He caused trouble and died. Why are there so many people?
Didn't you see that Chamyung Group's stock went up after his
death? It could be called one lucky death to the group.
Now their headache is gone for good.
Geez, that's cruel.
Long time, no see.
DECEASED: Cha Min Ho Chief Mourner: CHA SEON HO DATE: September 19th
Thank you.
Cha Min Ho, you could not hide your true nature.
Isn't it all done?
I came here to show you something.
It's the closed case report.
Min Ho, are you okay?
Blood...
Hyung...
Thank you.
Now it is really done, Hyung.
Good bye.
Please rest in peace.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Park Jeong Woo... What do I do with this bastard?
4 months later
I can't remember.
I don't remember.
Huh? What time? I won't be late. Don't worry.
I'm telling you it will be over soon.
It's a case that is already closed, and all that's left is a signature.
Yeah.
Weoljeong Prison, 3 KM
Park Jeong Woo, how have you been?
Who are you?
Excuse me?
- You can leave. - Okay.
Prison guard.
Prison guard, prison guard!
Park Jeong Woo, he's gone. Come here.
Who are you?
Why are you like this? I told you it's okay when we're on our own.
That amnesia thing. Honestly, it doesn't fly anymore.
If it was accepted, you would be in psychiatric custody, not here.
Isn't that so? You smart kid.
Let's end this quickly. You only need to confirm a few things.
That is...
Seriously. You told me you were going to confirm all of it!
Don't you remember murdering and abandoning your wife and daughter?
What did you just say? What did you just say?
Why are you like this?
You agreed with Prosecutor Kang Joon Hyeok too yesterday!
I'm going to go crazy.
Who?
The prosecutor in charge is Kang Joon Hyeok.
You said you guys were friends!
Joon Hyeok... Kang Joon Hyeok?
Never mind, it's all good, so...
Just sign here.
Other than me, there's no one else who will take your case!
I'm going to go crazy.
The prosecutor was Joon Hyeok?
Prosecutor Kang Joon Hyeok, this morning Park Jeong Woo lost his memory again?
Yes. That's what I was informed.
It's already the fifth time.
It's always the same.
He said yesterday was his daughter's birthday
party, and he fell asleep right after.
And while he was sleeping, his memory disappeared again.
Four days after the incident happened, he woke up and couldn't remember anything
about the four days at all.
Then one month, two months, three months,
and now four months of memories have become lost to him.
I told you this before, but this is different from regular memory loss.
We would need to pay attention to that time-four
months ago where his memories always go back to.
Yesterday was his daughter's birthday party,
and he fell asleep right after in his home.
It's the moment he wants to go back to the most.
After that day, as you know, is a nightmare to him.
But it isn't just once or twice. Is this repeated loss of memory possible?
It's not impossible, but it is very rare.
While overcoming an incident he cannot accept,
I think his self-defense mechanism is activating.
It was a shock to everyone.
Prosecutor.
What happened? Why are they in Jeong Woo's room?
Did you hear about the Wolha-dong case?
I did hear in the car on the way here. Did it already get transferred over to us?
They say the primary suspect is Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
Yeah. Block it. For now, just block it!
So why would you release something you aren't even sure about?
Hold on, hold on.
Yeah. Did you get here?
Why'd you send it without prior notice?
Really. Now.
Yeah, one moment.
Chief Prosecutor, what's this about Jeong Woo? It's absurd!
Go downstairs right now. Block the reporters and bring up Jeong Woo.
I'll talk to you later.
They're here!
He's here. Police
Do you admit that you killed your family?
Please say a word!
Stop the reporters.
An incumbent prosecutor is thought to have slaughtered his entire family.
It's a case without precedent.
Seoul Central District Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo of the Violent Crimes Division
was arrested for killing & abandoning his wife and daughter
early this morning. He was conveyed to the Prosecutors' Office.
How the Prosecutors' Office will react is the
center of attention of all the citizens nation...
What are you going to do, Chief Prosecutor Choi?
I will investigate and report to you.
Those kids don't believe in innocent until proven guilty.
The public will see it as us protecting our own if
we investigate and present it. You know what I mean?
But we should do the investigation...
- Do the briefing first! - Deputy Prosecutor General!
It's the first time such a thing has happened in the Prosecutors Office!
The prosecutors' fates depend on it!
- You can do this, right? - Yes?
You take it.
Chief Prosecutor!
It's the only way that Jeong Woo is going to accept it.
Okay, okay, let's do it one by one! One by one.
I'm reporter Oh Jun Seok from Hangook newspaper.
Please talk about the criminal's motivation for crime.
The questions might overlap, so please say all the questions first.
I am a reporter assigned to governmental affairs. Were they arguing over a breakup?
I am Newsmedia's Lee Seo Yul. Is there an accomplice?
Joon Hyeok, Joon Hyeok.
What on earth did you do?
I need to find my Ha Yeon.
Jeong Woo!
I need to find my Ha Yeon!
So, where is she?
I need to find my Ha Yeon quickly. I need to find Ha Yeon.
It's an instinct to deny and avoid the reality rather than to accept it.
But why is it repeating?
If the time comes when you can't handle an unbelievable reality any more,
you run away to protect yourself, by erasing the memory.
But it's an incident he committed.
All the more reason why he wants to forget it.
But, I'm worried about one thing.
What is it?
Repeatedly forgetting the memory
may be a serious problem for Park Jeong Woo.
Think about it. When you opened your eyes, you became a murderer of your family,
and months have passed since you were sentenced to death.
Can you guess how he feels?
The second trial is going to begin soon. Do you think he will get better before that?
If he accepts what he has done, there is a possibility of his memories coming back.
If there is something that could make him
aware of the reality right now, it will help,
because the prison is an entirely unfamiliar environment.
Yes, I got it.
Seoul Central District Court Seoul High Court
Thank you. You can go back to your seat. Witness
Judge, I request the next witness.
Defense counsel.
Please come here for a second.
When will it end?
There are still many witness examinations left.
Let's end it.
Yes? End it?
You've done enough.
What have I done enough of?
There, those people. Aren't those people all witnesses?
The witness examination has been going on for three hours!
What about that? Do you have a problem?
Do you have any urgent matters?
No, in this simple larceny case,
there are 16 witnesses! In my life as a judge,
I've never seen so many witnesses nor such a long examination!
End it now!
Whether it is simple or complicated, it should be done properly. I can't end it!
You will end it!
By the decision of the presiding judge.
How could you do this? There's a defendant's life depending on it!
Do you do this in all of your trials?
I'm defending as best as I can, and you're going to prevent that?
There's a limit to it! A limit! Look at the prosecutor.
He made a clean finish with two witnesses.
Why is the prosecutor coming out in this conversation?
I didn't want to say this, but you two went to the same school, didn't you?
What did you just say?
If that's not it, why are you taking the prosecutor's side?
That's not it! The kind of person who drags a trial
that shouldn't even take an hour for five hours...
It's you, Attorney!
The fact that it doesn't even last an hour is the problem!
If every attorney were like you...
These trials! I have to finish them all today.
You couldn't do it if you stayed up all night!
So, you're going to violate the defendant's legal right to be defended?
- That's not the point! - That is the point!
Judge, is the public defender assessment finished?
Oh, yes.
Here it is.
Wait a moment!
I have one public defender that needs to be assessed again...
Hold on a moment.
I'm going to write this over again and give it to you.
No, wait...
Judge!
Judge.
How could you do this?
Formulating the best legal arguments to defend those in all corners of the law
is the mission of the public defender, isn't it?
I tried my best, so he won't let me be reappointed?
The judge is making a mistake.
It's not only Judge Kim. All the other judges have the same opinion.
They're saying that you're not defending, but interrupting the trial.
You should've done it moderately.
Moderately? What's moderate? How could you do it moderately?
Seriously, you're too much. Just because it's not your life.
This crazy bastard.
I can't do it anymore!
Attorney Resignation
The second trial is coming right up. What are
we to do if you hand in your resignation?
Just endure it a little bit more.
Endure it? How can I endure it?
Look. Look at this!
I'm restraining myself from suing him.
Even if physical violence is added to his long
list of allegations, it won't make a difference.
Anyway, find someone else. I can't do it.
From now, I'm done. Okay?
What are you looking at?
This is driving me crazy. How many public defenders are there left?
There are none. All of them have been through that case.
Resignation letter, huh?
This is not the proper attitude of a public defender.
I'll take this case.
Yes? You said there's no other public defender willing to take this case.
If I take this case, I can be reappointed as a public defender, right?
But you need to get the client to write you a transfer
of appointment letter. Do you think you can get one?
It's a piece of cake. It's my specialty. Have a good day!
By the way, which case is it?
Incumbent Prosecutor killed and abandoned Wife and Child
Why is it Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo, of all people?
(DEFENSE COUNSEL) I have an objection.
It was an injury that required 2 months of medical treatment, not 2 weeks.
In over ten years of marriage, the defendant has
been suffering from the violence of her husband.
On the night of the incident, her drunk husband violently abused her
which could have resulted in two months of hospitalization. She lived in fear.
Then she thought she might even be killed if things continued the way it was.
To survive, by instinct,
she stabbed her husband.
If this is not self-defense, then just what is self-defense, Prosecutor?
It is self-defense,
if everything that the defense counsel says it's true.
Are you saying that I'm lying?
So the assault that caused her to get two months of medical treatment occurred.
The defendant felt that her life was threatened
due to the assault, and in order to survive,
she stabbed the victim on impulse.
Therefore, you are claiming that it was out of self-defense, right?
- That's right. - However, if...
Perhaps, if the two events were completely separated in time like this,
would you still claim it to be self defense, Attorney?
The assault happened in the morning,
and the stabbing of the drunk victim happened at night.
I would like to submit the evidence for that, Your Honor.
Therefore, per Article 250 of the Criminal Code,
on the charge of murdering her husband,
I demand that Defendant Yang Mun Sook receive five years in prison.
Prosecutor Park.
Prosecutor Park. Prosecutor sir!
Prosecutor Park!
Seriously.
You heard, sir. How could you leave like that?
You are so good at putting a person down.
Do you still have something left to say, Attorney Seo?
You could have been more lenient in the situation.
Lenient?
I was lenient.
What are you talking about?
The only lenient gesture that a prosecutor can make is
seek an appropriate verdict through law and principle.
She was barely able to endure because of her children.
But she has to be split apart from her children
and has to be sent to prison for five years
and you call that law?
Lawyer Seo.
What?!
If you really wanted to win, then you shouldn't have believed your client.
Do you know why you always lose?
You always take losing cases.
Hey!
I'm going to win next time.
You wait and see.
I wonder if he'll let me take his case.
Former Prosecutor Park Jung Woo received a death penalty in his first trial
Come and eat.
Okay, Auntie.
What's the matter? Are you sick?
I'll eat.
- Hurry up and come over. - Okay.
Eun Hye.
Daddy.
Daddy didn't do it.
Daddy will be out soon, Sweetie. You trust Daddy, right?
I know that you didn't do it, Daddy. I will come and save you.
So wait for me.
Former Prosecutor Park Jung Woo received a death penalty in his first trial
You will allow me to defend you, Park Jeong Woo.
Joon Hyeok.
Jeong Woo.
I have to get out of here.
Ha Yeon and Ji Soo will be waiting for me. I have a lot to take care of.
Let's go already. You brought your car with you, right?
Let's leave now!
Jeong Woo!
Why are you doing this?
This is all a joke you know.
Why are you doing this? Let's leave already!
Jeong Woo.
Joon Hyeok.
Tell me it's not true. Now!
Please tell me it's not true!!!
Joon Hyeok please tell me it's not true!
Please tell me it's not true.
Is it really me?
For now.
For now eh?
You are not the type that would make mistakes either.
How in the world did I suspect that she was having an affair?
That's the only one left. The rest were all burnt away.
It doesn't make any sense that Ji Soo had an affair.
You really don't remember?
I don't remember a thing. None of it.
It was Ha Yeon's birthday for sure.
There's a possibility that even your very last
memory can be distorted according to the doctor.
Distortion? You mean my memory is distorted?
But listen, Joon Hyeok. Why am I still alive then?
If I did that to my Ha Yeon and Ji Soo then why am I still alive then?!
Jeong Woo.
Tell me why I'm still alive!
Why?!!
I don't remember a thing. I don't remember a thing.
I remember my Ha Yen's birthday so clearly, but still, I can't remember a thing.
What happened to my Ha Yeon?
You still haven't been able to remember the exact location.
Ha Yeon, Uncle will...
Uncle promises to find you.
They're the case files that we were examining before.
They will help you when you recover your memory.
Jeong Woo, take care of yourself.
Thank you.
What do you mean?
If he didn't cause a fuss, why would we send him into a disciplinary cell?
Indeed, he was a prosecutor.
Please take care of him.
Well, it is not big deal. We need to help each other.
Why don't you come in?
Hyung, are you okay?
You had a really tough time, didn't you?
First, take off your shoes and put them over there.
The second to last spot is yours.
Everybody went to work. I'm also undecided...
By the way, you were quite surprised yesterday. This.
The hyungs fooled around a bit.
Change into these.
I'll put it here, so make sure to change into them later.
From what the doctor said, the last memory of that day
may be distorted to some extent.

No, they told me to come tomorrow.
I envy you for getting fresh air outside!
What's good about seeing the prosecutor? Just beg on your knees.
Yes.
If this is not a prank,
undecided, decided—how could they put us together in the same room?
They said there are no rooms to divide us separately.
Even for such cases, how can a prison cell be mix-and-matched with all sorts
of inmates like a jjamjjamyeon (MIX OF CHOP SUEY AND BROWN SAUCE NOODLE DISH)?
When our whole nation is in a mess, who cares about "undecided or decided"?
You are right. The nation is in a huge mess, indeed.

What's jjamjjamyeon?
Elder, you don't even know jjamjjamyeon?

Eat up.
Go out.
Hold this.
Goal!
Hyung, how is it? Doesn't it feel nice to be outside?
If you look here, there are people you threw in too, huh?
Do you know why they can't approach, even though they say they're going to kill you?
Because if perhaps you are released as innocent, they
don't have any confidence in dealing with the aftermath.
Innocent.
Fighting, you're doing well! The weather is so nice.
Hyung, let's walk.
We're locked up all day. Let's at least walk for just ten minutes.
Come on, come on! Ten minutes!

Nice! Fighting!
Don't worry.
There will be no problem in the second trial, either.

Yeah, I like it even more since Mom bought it for me!

But why the first trial record?
I wanted to check once more if there was anything I missed.
We just didn't find the suitcase. But the case is perfectly obvious.
- Just in case. - Yes.
The suitcase suspected of containing the body of Park Ha Yeon.
Where in the world is it?
Is it really me?
Why did you do it, Jeong Woo?
Defendant
He checked the finger prints?
What do you have in your hands?
Did you think you could run away from your crime if you become Cha Seon Ho?
Prosecutor, what are you rambling about?
Now you are finished!
Cha Min Ho.
That's right, I'm Cha Min Ho.
"I am Cha Min Ho!"
Should I make you yell it yourself?
Who are you?
Shouldn't you escape capital punishment?
What's the difference if I escape the capital punishment or not, huh?
Bastard, are you crazy?
I'm going to kill him.
Park Jeong Woo, you can never catch me.
Cha Min Ho!
