Mad Place — Chapter 2

...AN INTRUDER.

Episode 2

DETECTIVE JANG!!

WHAT IS THIS?!

MR. GU...

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, BRINGING A SUSPECT TO MY PLACE?!

WITHOUT EVEN ASKING ME...!!

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU EVEN GET IN?!

MR. GU, CALM DOWN.

I CAN EXPLAIN.

CALM DOWN?! YOU THINK I CAN CALM DOWN?!

YOU GET HIM OUT OF HERE, RIGHT NOW!

WE DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS, BUT THE SITUATION IS RATHER COMPLICATED-

SURELY YOU MEAN HIS SITUATION!

YOU'RE ONLY TRYING TO PROTECT HIM BECAUSE HE'S FROM SOME RICH FAMILY...!

LISTEN! IT'S NOT WHAT YOU...

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO, GO FIND YOURSELF ANOTHER PROSECUTOR!

MR. GU! LISTEN TO ME...

I'M SURE THERE ARE PLENTY IN LINE WILLING TO...

HE ASKED FOR YOU!!

...!

THE SUSPECT...

...ASKED FOR YOU...

SPECIFICALLY.

...MEANWHILE, HASUNG GROUP REMAINS SILENT ON THE CASE.

IS IT TRUE THAT MR. HA IS RELATED TO THE MURDER IN ITAEWON?

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ON THAT?

IS IT TRUE THAT HE'S BEING HELD BY THE POLICE?

IF NOT, DO YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS?

HAS MR. HA EVER BEEN CHARGED FOR ANY OTHER OFFENCES?

JEEZ...

PLEASE, TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!

WHAT'S HASUNG GROUP'S STAND ON THIS?

THEY SAY MR. HA IS THE PRIME SUSPECT!

HA IDEUN.

BRING YOUR HANDS FORWARD.

PROSECUTOR...

GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

MY NAME IS HA IDEUN.

I'M AFRAID I CAN'T SAY THE SAME.

MR. HA...

IS IT TRUE THAT YOU ASKED DETECTIVE JANG FOR ME?

YES, I DID.

BUT WHY? WE'VE NEVER MET BEFORE.

HOW DID YOU KNOW WHO I WAS?

IN CASE YOU'RE MISTAKEN... I'M A PROSECUTOR, NOT AN ATTORNEY.

AND WHAT YOU NEED RIGHT NOW IS AN ATTORNEY, MR. HA.

HAHAHA... I KNOW WHAT A PROSECUTOR DOES, MR. GU!

PLEASE RELAX.

I'M SIMPLY HERE BECAUSE OF YOU.

I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS.

A FAN OF MINE...

IS THAT REALLY WHY YOU WANTED TO SEE ME?

THIS MAY BE ALL VERY AMUSING FOR YOU, BUT IT ISN'T FOR ME.

I HAVE A SUSPECT UNDER MY ROOF CHARGED FOR MURDER.

NOW, YOU TOLD DETECTIVE JANG YOU'D COOPERATE ONCE I'M HERE.

WELL, THERE'S THAT AND...

MR. HA.

SO, LET ME ASK YOU DIRECTLY.

THE VICTIM IN CLUB B, ITAEWON...

ARE YOU HERE TO TURN YOURSELF IN FOR THAT?

NOPE.

I DON'T PLAN ON CONFESSING TO ANYTHING JUST YET.

LOOK, I BROUGHT YOU MR. GU, JUST AS YOU ASKED.

WELL

YOU SAID WHEN YOU ARRESTED ME...

WHAT?

...THAT "I HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT." I'M ONLY EXECUTING MY RIGHTS HERE.

YOU SEE?

OR ARE YOU...

...FORCING ME TO ANSWER AGAINST MY RIGHTS?

...IT SEEMS DETECTIVE JANG HAS BEEN ACCOMMODATING ENOUGH.

IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO COOPERATE, YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF A NICE LAWYER...

...AND SAVE THE REST FOR COURT.

I DON'T NEED A LAWYER.

I'LL MAKE MY OWN STATEMENT.

SO THEN...

...WHAT IS IT THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT, MR. HA?

AN INVESTIGATION.

WHAT?

WHAT...?

THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU JUST SAID!

DOES THIS LOOK LIKE SOME KIND OF JOKE TO YOU?

MAKE UP YOUR GODDAMN MIND!

AN INVESTIGATION...

...CONDUCTED BY YOU, MR. GU.

AND ONLY YOU.

WHAT...

I'LL TESTIFY ONLY TO MR. GU...

...HERE, IN THIS HOUSE.

...IS THIS MADNESS?

YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND!

WHAT DO YOU TAKE THE POLICE FOR?

LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR FOR YOU, MR. HA.

I AM NEITHER ENTITLED NOR OBLIGATED FOR SUCH A TASK.

OH, DON'T WORRY.

LEAVE IT UP TO ME.

I'LL ENTITLE YOU THE RIGHTS.

THAT'S ENOUGH, MR. HA!

I MAY BE A PROSECUTOR, BUT BEFORE I TAKE YOUR CASE, I'M JUST ANOTHER UNRELATED CITIZEN!

THE LAW ENTITLES NO RIGHTS TO A PRIVATE INVESTIGATION REGARDLESS OF WHO YOU ARE!

YOU CAN SAVE YOUR GAMES FOR LATER. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.

YOU'LL GO TO THE POLICE STATION-

MR. GU...

I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD ME.

I'LL MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHTS...

...AND THE OBLIGATION TO A PRIVATE INVESTIGATION.

SO...

...IF YOU THINK I'M THE MURDERER...

...IT'S YOUR JOB TO FIND OUT.

DETECTIVE JANG.

YEAH?

HOW DID YOU BRING HIM HERE?

ON OUR VAN, OF COURSE.

IS IT PARKED OUTSIDE?

UM... YEAH.

THEN...

...THERE YOU ARE, MR. HA. PLEASE SHOW YOURSELF OUT.

HAHA...

AHAHA...

FUCK...

YOU'RE MORE FUN THAT I EXPECTED...

...GU SEHYUK.
