The Day I Died: Unclosed Case (내가 죽던 날)

We have some breaking news.

Typhoon Rappa is moving northward

and developing stronger winds.

With a wind speed of over 47m per second

and spanning 350km,

it's expected to impact the entire peninsula.

(I apologize on behalf of my father and brother.)

I represent various cases now,

but I used to specialize in divorces.

I heard a settlement will be hard.

You'll sue him, right?

Do you want to forgive?

If your husband admits

to his faults,

you want to end things nicely?

Is that it?

Instead of...

clients who cry and are angry,

it's harder to represent those who aren't ready to fight.

You may wonder how this happened.

If he planned for this,

it happened because of him.

What else could it be?

Why would he apologize to you?

Why?

How did this happen?

Why didn't I know?

Could that be an excuse?

Will I ever stop wondering?

If I go back to work,

will I be able to forget it all?

Can I live as I did before?

Let's see.

We don't want your arm to go numb again

like when you had the accident.

The X-rays look fine.

No paralysis.

If it hurts at all at work,

come right away.

A relapse takes longer to heal.

Yes?

Have a seat.

You've applied to return?

Yes, ma'am.

How do feel?

Is your arm numb?

It's fine now.

If you try to return to work

with no good reason,

your chief won't take you.

And there's the disciplinary hearing.

I'm expecting that.

Surprised that I called you in?

Wearing your uniform...

You were the team's ace.

It's too bad it happened

when you were about to be promoted.

I know your chief overreacted

to avoid any responsibility.

No one died in the accident,

and it was a minor collision you caused on the chase, right?

It's unfair to lose everything you worked for

due to that.

Are your personal affairs in order?

It's in mediation.

Good.

Know what people come to disciplinary hearings for?

Sexual assault and bribery.

I don't want you to be disciplined along with jerks like that.

Write up a case closure report

before your official return.

There was a girl under witness protection.

She jumped off a cliff on an island where she lived.

It was first ruled out as a suicide.

She jumped during a typhoon,

so her body was never found.

A suicide with no corpse?

There's a will and other circumstantial evidence.

The prosecutor got consent from her and her guardian

and had her take a rest on the island.

It's a headache.

The trial was postponed, and the prosecutor was replaced.

The brass is worried we'd get all the blame.

Check the preliminary report.

Add more witness accounts and wrap it up for me.

If so, I'll put in a good word at the hearing.

No need to decide right away.

I'll do it.

Where's the island?

Good morning.

May I help you? - Hello.

You're early. Have a seat.

Sure.

We escorted her to the island

but didn't know any details.

That girl, Jung...

Right, Se-jin!

She never left the island.

At first, an officer in charge came down regularly.

He'd contact the village chief directly

and went there sometimes.

But later, he said he couldn't come anymore,

so we sent people to her sometimes.

Just to deliver stuff she needed.

We didn't meet her for other reasons.

I see.

After what happened to her,

we helped search everywhere.

But the typhoon was so strong.

Against that cliff,

the waves crash and then pull out,

so we couldn't find her.

Everyone in town sailed out

to look for her without pay.

Did they verify the will?

Yes. It was her handwriting.

That settles it.

We have lots of suicide cases here.

I see.

The village chief will take you there by boat soon.

Officer Kim!

Why is the wind so strong?

Chief! Was it supposed to be this windy?

This is the only place to dock boats.

During typhoons,

the boats are all tied up here.

I see.

There were CCTV cameras here and there.

They were taken to investigate the case.

Who owns this house?

It's Sun-cheon's house.

Did the girl know Sun-cheon before?

No.

It was Sun-cheon's brother,

Dong-chul's house.

After he died,

she took great care of it.

This is the best vacant house around here.

I helped her rent it out.

She didn't know the girl.

I'd like to meet her too.

But she can't speak.

They said not to touch anything,

so it's left as is.

She lived here for over six months

before the typhoon came.

The will was left on that desk.

Right here. It's where she jumped.

That's what we're guessing.

Now, over here.

We found her shoes stuck here.

Then we found her jacket over there.

See?

It looks calm and quiet now.

But when a typhoon hits,

see those black rocks?

Water fills up to there.

Anything swept away can't be found.

How did you know they were the girl's shoes?

Please, Detective.

She's the only one who would wear shoes like that around here.

The people on the island knew that she was here?

They told me

to keep quiet at first.

But she stayed here for so long.

How could they not know?

Is there a house past there?

Most folks live near the dock.

The girl stayed down this way.

Sun-cheon lives down that way.

The other homes are all vacant.

They asked all this last time.

Sorry to trouble you.

Please speak comfortably.

Can you start from the first day she arrived here?

I think it was last winter.

At first, her sister and brother-in-law came often.

She never came out of the house for a while.

Then she'd come out and stuff.

Why did you go to the house that day?

After the typhoon? - Yes.

I got so worried.

No one would come out.

I called, but there was no answer.

Why aren't you answering?

Chief!

Chief!

I can't breathe!

Something terrible must've happened!

I went all around to check on my nets.

Then I found these on the rocks!

Aren't they the girl's shoes?

What are you talking about?

Chief! She's gone!

The girl isn't home!

There's a letter on her desk!

I have a bad feeling! The poor girl!

Did she come here?

No, she didn't! - Let's go check!

Come on! - Oh, no!
