Doubtful Victory (Oh, The Mysterious / Questionable Start / Uimoonui Ilseung / 의문의 일승)

There was some hemorrhaging,

and it took some time to stitch up the wound.

But thankfully, it's nothing serious.

The knife skimmed her, so her wound just needs to heal.

By the way, we need to report this to...

I'm...

a police officer.

She's a police officer as well.

She seems to be in shock,

so please help her calm down.

Okay. Thank you.

Did you catch the culprit?

No.

What happened to Mr. Choi?

He's in surgery,

but he's not in good condition.

I figured.

That guy seemed like a professional killer.

I should've acted quicker.

Hey.

You got stabbed.

You're lucky to be okay. It could've been bad.

I'm fine, so it doesn't matter.

What are you talking about?

You got stabbed while trying to save me.

What would've happened if you got seriously injured?

Are you getting angry at me?

Yes, I am.

I'm the one who's going to get beaten up or stabbed from now on.

So...

don't ever try to save me.

I'm sick and tired of other people getting hurt because of me.

Why would you blame yourself for that?

Hey, you can't do this to a patient.

Where are you going?

The crime scene.

Jin Young.

My gosh, Jin Young. What happened?

- How badly did you get hurt? Where? - Gosh, it hurts.

My gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I'm so upset because of you.

I told you not to do this job.

You got into all the Ivy League schools in the States.

You could've just gone to one of them and studied there.

Then I would've been able to live in the States as well.

You were so persistent about becoming a detective.

Why did you have to get yourself in such a fuss?

Where did you get hurt?

My gosh, not a single day passes by quietly.

I'm sorry. Lieutenant Jin is...

I know. I called her on my way here.

She sounded tired, but she seems fine.

- How are you doing? - I'm fine.

Things could've been worse.

That punk must be out of his mind.

How dare he try to kill someone in front of the National Police Agency?

Exactly.

What about Mr. Choi?

- Is he still in surgery? - Yes.

Will we find anything on the street?

We'll be able to pick up some things,

but they won't be useful.

Hello?

What?

Okay.

What is it?

Mr. Choi...

died.

What?

Why did they lift the arrest warrant?

I'll go to the hospital and request an autopsy.

Min Pyo and Dae Woong.

Collect all the surveillance videos from this area.

- I'll get going now. - Okay.

Can I make a call first?

Could you give me some space?

Turn off the camera too.

Mr. Choi was checking the photographs.

Someone came in and sat in front of him.

After that...

Mr. Choi suddenly left the room.

Why?

What are you doing here?

Didn't you go home yet?

- Are you done with work? - Yes.

What were you doing?

I thought I'd clean up the room before I left.

I see.

Could you please...

run a fingerprint for me?

What fingerprint?

Behind this chair.

I'd like to check the fingerprints on here.

Anyone who came in this room could've moved this chair.

What's so suspicious?

Well...

All the fingerprints will be of the officers.

You're right.

Still, could you please do it for me?

Okay.

I'll take care of it.

You can go home and rest.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Hello?

Did you pick this apple from a tree?

Why are you sweating in the winter?

Where is your mom?

She went home to get changed.

Because she was here all night.

What about the doctor? Did he come by?

He said I could go home in a couple of days.

Well...

Does it hurt a lot?

It does,

but...

I'm okay because they gave me painkillers.

Hey. Don't frown.

I didn't get hurt trying to save you.

A witness came to us after 10 years,

and someone tried to kill him.

Unless someone was trying to cover up my dad's suicide case,

Mr. Choi had no reason to be killed.

I really wanted to get him.

The one with the knife.

If I find out who hired him, I can get more clues.

I didn't get stabbed by the knife...

intended for you.

Stop overreacting.

All right.

Don't ever do that again though.

I mean it.

Apple.

Since when I was young, I always had one when I was sick.

My dad used a spoon to scrape it...

and feed it to me.

It's weird and so old school, isn't it?

We were considered to be a wealthy family.

He could've just used a blender,

but he used a spoon like an old grandma.

Interestingly,

after I ate that...

I recovered the next day.

When I was in America,

I got really sick this one time.

My dad found out about it somehow and came to me.

He fed me an apple with a spoon all through the night.

He left when I fell asleep.

He was extremely busy,

but he came all that way because I was sick.

I...

really want to catch...

the culprit who killed my dad.

Aren't you going to go to work?

Yes.

I will.

I have to go somewhere before I go to work though.

Where?

Mr. Choi.

We need to know why he was released.

So...

you're here to argue with me.

No, I came here because I was curious.

Mr. Choi.

Why did you release him?

There weren't enough grounds for confinement.

I just didn't issue an arrest warrant.

He had no permanent residence.

Plus he was a crook with a lot of debt.

It's strange not to do a custody investigation.

Even I know that.

You're funny.

You sounded like a real cop just now.

Well, you did pass the police exam.

I guess it's not surprising...

to remember all the basics.

I have to go to work.

Won't you answer my question?

The day after Chairman Jin died,

a huge amount of money was transferred to Mr. Choi's account.

We obtained information that the money was from Lee Kwang Ho.

Who sent the money and why?

It was from Lee Kwang Ho to shut him up of course.

The last person to witness Chairman Jin's death was...

Mr. Choi.

Then Chairman Jin's death was...

Does that mean Manager Lee was involved in Chairman Jin's death?

You can look into that yourself.

You must not know Lee Kwang Ho that well.

If that was true, Mr. Choi would've been dead already.

Lee Kwang Ho would never use his money...

to shut anyone up.

I agree with that.

Then...

why do you think he killed Mr. Choi all of a sudden?

Because...

he found a good reason to kill him.

A reason that didn't exist before?

What could that be?

He wanted to put you in a pickle.

Aren't you the one who's in trouble...
