WHAT DO YOU THINK? HE'S WORRIED SICK AND WANTS ME TO RELEASE THE GUY IF WE DON'T HAVE A TESTIMONY...

CHIEF.

HOW DID IT GO WITH THE HEAD CHIEF?

WHERE IS HE?

OVER THERE IN THE CORNER.

HE DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT.

WAS THERE ANY TROUBLE?

NO, SIR.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO THEN? HE'S OUR ONLY SUSPECT FOR NOW.

WHAT WE ALWAYS DO... KEEP ON WORKING AND GATHER MORE EVIDENCE.

MAKE SURE THOSE REPORTERS DON'T GET IN HERE.

WE CAN'T HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION LEAKING OUT.

EXCUSE ME, DETECTIVE JANG!

ANY NEWS FROM THE GUYS OUT ON THE-

CAN I MAKE A PHONE CALL, PLEASE?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO PUT IN AN ORDER?

YES...

THE ADDRESS IS...

I THOUGHT HE WAS CALLING HIS FIRM.

BUT AN ORDER...?

YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

BEEP

THANKS.

ANYTHING ELSE?

YOU MAY BE THE SUSPECT, BUT WE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING...

AND WE TRY NOT TO BE TOO UNREASONABLE IN HERE...

...WERE YOU NOT COMFORTABLE LAST NIGHT? I HEARD YOU DIDN'T SLEEP.

OH, I'M FINE. I JUST WASN'T SLEEPY, THAT'S ALL.

I DON'T REALLY NEED ANYTHING, BUT...

...I GUESS I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

WELL, IT'S NOT ANYTHING SERIOUS, BUT...

A QUESTION? WHAT IS IT?

DO YOU KNOW IF MR. GU...

...IS SEEING ANYONE?

RIGHT NOW?

CCTV 녹화중

I WOULDN'T KNOW.

WE DON'T SHARE THINGS LIKE THAT...

AH! THAT'S TOO BAD...

I GUESS...

HE WON'T REFUSE IT, THEN...?

Room 701 Prosecutor's Office Gu Sehyuk Northwestern Seoul District Prosecutors' Office

HELLO, MR. GU.

SORRY I'M LATE.

I HAD A SITUATION AT HOME...

OH, REALLY?

IS EVERYTHING OKAY NOW?

YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT THE FILES SITTING BY YOUR MONITOR FIRST. I SORTED OUT THE URGENT ONES.

THANK YOU, INVESTIGATOR.

I'M STILL EXHAUSTED FROM LAST NIGHT...

IT DOESN'T CONCERN ME ANYMORE.

I SHOULD FORGET ABOUT IT.

COME IN.

HELLO, I HAVE A DELIVERY...

FROM THE FLOWER SHOP.

OH... I SEE. PLEASE LEAVE IT HERE.

IF YOU COULD JUST SIGN HERE...

OH MY, FLOWERS DELIVERED TO THE OFFICE!

HOW VERY ROMANTIC!

Prosecutor Gu Sehyuk

WHAT'S GOING ON, MR. GU?

YOU'RE NOT SECRETLY SEEING SOMEONE, ARE YOU?

DO COUPLES THESE DAYS...

...SEND FUNERAL FLOWERS TO EACH OTHER?

HUH?

OH...!

WHAT ON EARTH?!

WHY WOULD ANYONE SEND FUNERAL FLOWERS AS A GIFT?

IT MUST BE SOME NUTHEAD WHO'S OUT TO SPITE YOU!

HERE...

I'LL THROW IT AWAY.

WHAT IS THIS?

A PHOTO?

AM I IMAGINING THINGS...?

I FEEL LIKE... I'VE SEEN THIS BEFORE...

WAIT...

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!

HOW...?!

THAT PHOTO...

WHAT IS IT DOING HERE?!

MR. GU!!!

THERE, SLOW DOWN... TAKE A BREATH.

THIS LOOKS LIKE A PHOTO FROM A SUICIDE SCENE...!!

WHY WOULD ANYONE SEND THIS TO MR. GU...?!

I'LL TRACK THEM DOWN AND REPORT THEM RIGHT AWAY!

your

WHOEVER THIS IS... WAIT!

THERE'S SOMETHING WRITTEN HERE ON THE BACK.

YOUR BIGGEST...

FAN?

SO...

YOU'RE STILL REFUSING TO SPEAK?

LOOK, MR. HA. YOU WERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA, WALKING OUT OF THE CLUB...

THE ODDS ARE AGAINST YOU, AND NOT TALKING WON'T HELP.

BECAUSE WALKING OUT OF THE CLUB AUTOMATICALLY MAKES ME THE KILLER?

EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE ME DO IT? HOW STRANGE!

NO TESTIMONY, NO LAWYER, NOTHING?

ARE YOU SAYING YOU DIDN'T KILL THE GUY, THEN?

WELL, THAT...

OH.

WAIT.

IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL A LEADING QUESTION?!

A FORCEFUL INVESTIGATION!!

OH, JUST DROP IT, WILL YOU?!

DID YOU, OR DID YOU NOT KILL THE GUY?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE THAT LAWYER YOUR COMPANY SENT YOU?! YOU'RE KILLING US HERE...

I THINK I'VE MADE MYSELF PRETTY CLEAR FROM THE START.

I AM ONLY SPEAKING TO MR. GU REGARDING THE CASE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHY WE'RE IN A BIND!

OKAY, THEN. CAN YOU AT LEAST TELL ME...

I'M SAYING, THAT'S WHERE THINGS ARE NOW...

...WHY HIM?

BECAUSE...

WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE?

YOU CAN'T...!!

PLEASE...!!

WAIT!

AND DON'T GIVE ME THAT "FAN" CRAP.

PROSECUTOR!!

HUH?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

MR. GU!

WHAT BRINGS YOU HERE...?!

YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED FOR ME. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

WHAT'S THE EMERGEN-

I'M NOT HERE FOR YOU, DETECTIVE.

WHAT?

STOP HIM!

WHO?

STOP HIM, CHIEF!

MR. GU!
