Miraculous Brothers (The Miracle Brothers / Gijeogui Hyeongje / 기적의 형제)

Gosh. Darn it.

This is driving me crazy.

Hello.

No, I'm out. What's this about?

I met Kang San.

Kang San found a dead body at Sopyung Lake.

He found what?

A skeleton.

I was wondering if he went back home safely.

I got worried, so I called.

His phone is off.

Hello?

Can you be sure that I am...

Lee Ha Neul?

Are you there?

Did you identify the skeleton Kang San found?

Kang San asked me the same thing.

Why are you guys interested in the identity of the deceased?

It's natural to be curious about the identity.

Finding a skeleton...

doesn't happen every day.

When will you be going home?

Why do you want to know that? - I have something to tell you.

You can tell me on the phone.

This kind of conversation should be done in person.

Well, I'm busy today.

I won't take up much of your time. I'll call you.

Hello?

A skeleton.

A USB flashdrive? - Yes.

I was wondering if it was among the stuff Detective Han left behind.

I confirmed that he had obtained it on the day of his death.

Is it important?

It contains critical evidence for the case...

Detective Han was investigating.

Let me look for it then.

She'll look for it and call us back.

Okay.

It will go away soon.

Everything I said about Kang San is true.

He's staying with me.

He's looking for his brother too.

Kang San!

Lee Kang San!

Hey.

I was at the National Archives of Korea just now.

I couldn't find the case file on your father's case.

What do you mean?

The case file should be at the National Archives of Korea.

But it's not there.

Those jerks took it away.

That jerk who was at the bookstore.

I'm sure he and his guys took the case file.

What are you talking about?

Then there's no way I can check the case report?

My mother?

Gosh, I'm so hungover.

I should stop drinking, seriously.

It's equivalent to asking dogs to stop pooping.

What? - Oh, my.

Young Sook, did you see this?

Can't you be more graceful when you talk to me?

Dogs and pooping...

You have to read this.

I'm letting this go because I'm a forgiving person.

Gosh, come on. Just read this already.

What is it?

My daughter sent me a news article.

I checked it out to see what it was. And look. It's a news article.

What's this about?

It's saying that Dong Ju stole someone else's work...

and got sued for it.

Don't give that dog-pooping nonsense!

Why are you yelling at me?

A reporter wrote that article.

Is everything in the news article always true?

Why would reporters lie?

They all graduated from top-tier universities.

Did you see that? - What?

Did you see my son stealing someone else's work?

Of course, not!

Then don't talk about him like that!

You have no idea.

Don't even think about gossiping.

How could you be so mean to me?

I was just concerned.

Don't worry about my son. You worry about your own daughter.

Why would I worry about her?

You don't know anything about my son.

His conscience is the last thing that will remain in his body.

I know that better than anyone. I'm his son!

Hello.

They are all jealous because my son is successful now.

So those losers are dirtying my son's good name!

What's wrong?

Seriously. These people love to bring down successful people.

I need you to work!

Where are you going? - Ms. Cha.

I can't believe that woman!

Bye.

That reporter got it wrong, right?

Of course. The reporter got it wrong.

Right?

Gosh, don't worry.

Why would he plagiarize someone else's work?

He's got talent.

If he did, he couldn't have won the Korean Literary Award.

Did he win an award?

He didn't tell you?

You know that he doesn't tell me about these things.

It's called the Korean Literary Award.

It's the most honorable and prestigious award for writers.

My goodness! That's wonderful news.

Gosh. Hold on.

You should go then. - Wait. Where are you going?

I need to work the dinner shift.

I should tell her that Dong Ju won an award too.

Before you go, I'd like to ask you a question.

You can ask me ten questions.

One will suffice. - What is it?

When Dong Ju's father was in a hit-and-run accident,

do you remember the police officer in charge of his case?

The chief of your police substation.

My chief?

I was in charge of the case.

But why do you ask?

There was no case file at the National Archives of Korea.

How come?

That's what I'm asking you.

I didn't close the case. So I'm not sure.

Then who closed it?

This is the first substation...

I worked at after becoming a police officer.

I got transferred here and there...

and then came back here before my retirement.

So who closed the case?

I'm getting to that.

Back then, police officers at the police substation...

took care of hit-and-runs.

And that was my first case.

Then what happened? - I was conducting...

the initial investigation.

The detective from the district wanted to take the case.

So he did.

Who is that darned detective?

What did the chief say?

He told us not to question Byun Jong Il. Not even as a witness.

We're not going to summon him. Why can't we even interview him?

It's obvious!

The mighty assemblyman called him and probably alluded that...

if we took the ex-convict's word and investigated him, we'd be sorry.

What can we do if we can't even interview him?

What could he do? He wants us to do nothing!

But still. We must do something.

We must find evidence.

If we can find the security footage of the scene No Myung Nam witnessed,

we can even summon Byun Jong Il and investigate him then.

But...

if Detective Han had acquired the security footage,

he would definitely have told me.

Right.

Honestly, I'm not sure if we can trust No Myung Nam's statement.

Yes, we can.

We confirmed that Detective Han...

took the security footage from that night.

You did? - Yes.

Where's the footage? Did you get it?

Soon.

We need to talk.

It scares me when he wants to talk.

What is it? Is there a secret we don't know about?

There's no secret.

When will they do the autopsy?

Tomorrow morning.

He had gotten his hands on an important piece of evidence.

Detective Han...

Why didn't he tell us?

Well, the accident happened on the day of the accident.

Perhaps, he didn't have time.

He went straight home that day because it was his son's birthday.

But there's some time that isn't unaccounted for.

What do you mean?

Detective Han didn't go home right away...

after getting the footage.

Two hours in between weren't accounted for.

Two hours?

His whereabouts during those two hours aren't uncertain.

You're saying that a cop is working for Byun Jong Il!

Lower your voice.

Are you sure?

I am.

We should share this with the team.

Don't tell me you're suspecting them.

No, but it doesn't hurt to be careful.

We should keep this between us for the time being.

How are we going to catch him?

I'll show some pictures to the worker at the borough office.

We can't show her pictures of every cop.

To be certain,

we should start with our team.
