While You Were Sleeping

Episode 8

Let's go.

Yeah, Woo Tak. What?

Hey, c'mon...

I'm here for questioning as a material witness. My name is Bong Doo Hyeon.

Have you checked on whether the suspect and material witness have arrived?

Yes, they both say they'll be here by 2.

I'm here. That's...hard.

Pardon? What brings you here?

I am Inspector Oh Kyeong Han, as the material witness.

Oh, you're too early. If you could wait outside for just a minute, we'll call you right in.

Yes ma'am. Oh but, there was a call for Prosecutor Jeong Jae Chan.

For me? - Yes sir.

It's Inspector Han Woo Tak. He says it's very urgent, so if you would...

Yes, this is Jeong Jae Chan.

Oh, it's because I don't know your number, Jae Chan. You haven't started the questioning for Park Joon Mo yet, right?

Inspector Oh Kyeong Han

Yes.

Don't go in to question Park Joon Mo, tell your Investigator to do it.

Pardon?

Why do I have to do that?

Listen to him!

We don't know why, but Woo Tak and I both had dreams about you questioning Park Joon Mo.

But in my dream, Park Joon Mo was found not guilty, and in Woo Tak's dream, he was indicted.

That's impossible.

So we compared our dreams, and it was completely the same except for one thing.

In Hong Joo's dream, you were questioning Park Joon Mo, and in my dream, the Investigator was questioning him.

The one that looks like a boiled anchovy.

Are you sure? It's not the other way around?

My dear Investigator Choi, we're not late are we?

Wow, our Ms. Hyang Mi really is perfect in yellow.

You're punctual as always.

I told him we should go with a written investigation, but he wouldn't budge.

He was so adamant on being present.

It's alright.

My investigator isn't just close to Yoo Beom hyung; they're inseparable. He's Yoo Beom's closest asset.

But what can we do? That's what the dreams show. Park Joon Mo pleaded not guilty in my dream.

What?! That crazy--That's ridiculous-!

Pleading not guilty is impossible when there's so much evidence!

Regardless of that, Yoo Beom gets the upper hand. So please, hand it over to your investigator.

Damn...

Sorry, but Prosecutor Jeong, how much longer will you be with the phone call?

I understand, hang up for now.

If I question him, he's exonerated. But if the Investigator questions him, he gets indicted?

That's ridiculous.

Please sit.

How could I leave it in hands like his--I'm going crazy.

The phone...That's mine.

Oh right.

Aren't you going to question him?

Investigator sir. - Yes, sir?

Please lead the questioning.

Why are our dreams different? It can only mean one of our dreams are wrong.

Has there ever been a time your dream was wrong?

No, not until I met Jae Chan.

What about after?

My dreams changed thanks to him.

Dreams changed after meeting Jae Chan

I hope that's what happens this time too.

You're right. I really hope your dream's the right one.

How shall we proceed? Have you eaten?

I didn't have much of an appetite but yes, I did.

Alright, the situation has gotten complicated due to the fact that the victim, Ms. Do Bong Sook, demands punishment.

As you already know, despite what kind of assault it is, if the victim demands punishment—

I'm...I've never hit my wife.

He really is pleading innocent! So is it going as the dream said?

Look here, what kind of nonsense are you spewing?

Wait. Didn't you admit to the assault?

I told him to make that statement.

Pardon? - He has a history, so I told him to start the first step with a confession.

But when I really looked into it, he fell into something his wife was plotting.

A plot?

This is a memorandum written after a previous assault.

In the case another assault is to occur, it's written there that she would be given one billion won.

So she fabricated a situation to gain that one billion?

I was really skeptical about it too but...

I guess you think if you lose your husband, your world ends too, but don't be so intimidated.

If you get a divorce and divide the assets, you'll get child support too!

Yes, I prepared the documents beforehand too.

So that's what happened, then I understand. Well, I've had so many of these kinds of cases, that it's quite obvious.

This isn't something that just comes out in the drama Love and War. This happens a lot in the real world as well.

Cases where you hit your wife, write a memorandum with one too many things, and get your money stolen from right under you.

What kind of screwed up investigation is this? Why are you making conclusions based solely on the assailant's testimony?

I'm telling you I saw it right in front of me! The wife's blouse was hiding countless bruises from this man's feet!

That's something he finds unfair as well.

Those footprints aren't his.

Pardon?

In the investigations report, the footprints are shown as 285mm.

Yes, 285.

Our President Park's feet

are 260mm.

Oh, that's right, it's 265!

Wait, there's no way... - So you arrested him without even confirming the footprints?!

It was so busy and there were so many people at the time...

Regardless of how busy you are, this is wrong! A single footprint is what decides indictment and exoneration!

Go by the manual for God's sake! Why don't you have steps like A, B, C?

A. would be me arresting him, B. would be what should've happened between K and C.

Stay quiet.

Then, Attorney Lee, what happens now?

With much regret, I think what happens is

Ms. Do Bong Sook took the memorandum she received during her pervious assault,

and used it with intentions of gaining wealth.

And while she was waiting for an opportunity,

she coincidentally got into an accident at a ski lodge, which broke her ribs.

So she fabricated that accident as an assault from her husband.

That's why the x-ray dates didn't match up!

And on the day of the recital, she secretly put footprints on her clothes.

Then faints in a place where many people are watching.

She's done a lot of work, goodness gracious.

What's wrong with the Investigator?! He's just listening to fictional stories like nothing! Dammit-!

Am I supposed to just keep trusting in that dream?!

I really loved my wife and trusted her...

After listening to Attorney Lee, all the pieces fell into place.

You'll be able to discern it from the investigations report,

but President Park has not once, ever admitted to assault.

So you report solely based on conditions? When the person himself hasn't confessed?

Who would confess in a situation like that? Have you ever seen someone shit on the street then leave their name tag?

I just had lunch... - I apologize.

When his wife collapsed, what did Mr. Park Joon Mo say?

Yes, he said it wasn't him.

Even when he was arrested?

Yes, he kept insisting that it wasn't him...

As expected.

Now the story's just out in the open.

I can't imagine how unfair everything seemed when the wife you love betrayed you.

Why would your wife do that to you?

Look at me here, at my fist here.

First, the wife you love suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed.

Then as soon as she collapsed, you clearly insisted that you didn't beat her.

But you were arrested, correct?

Prosecutor sir, am I the only one that finds this strange?

Pardon?

I find this one.

This part, where you say you clearly insisted never hitting her.

That part keeps getting to me.

Yes! I find that part unsettling as well!

Mr. Park Joon Mo, what did you say were your first words after your wife collapsed?

T-That I didn't do it.

Mr. Park Joon Mo, you love your wife, correct?

O-Of course I love her.

Excuse me, President Park. - Attorney, keep silent.

The wife you love suddenly collapsed, and the first words you speak are "I didn't do it"?

W-What's wrong with that?

"Honey, are you okay" or "Someone please help".

Aren't those the natural responses?

That's right! That's right! Your wife collapsed, you should be worried not making excuses!

If the police arrived, you shouldn't have been insisting that you were innocent. You should've been begging them to find the culprit.

Of course, that's right! That's common sense!

Even when we were arresting him, that part was so unbelievably suspicious.

Because they all thought I hit her.

Investigator sir. - Yes sir.

This is what Reporter Bong Doo Hyeon

filmed during the time of the incident.

So many people have supported me.

And I try my best to make sure I don't disappoint--

Mom!

Someone call 911! - What's this?

I didn't do this.

Not a single person said she was assaulted, and yet you're so eager to hide those footprints.

As if, they were yours.

No, I-I told you they're not mine! You measured my foot!

If you want us to measure it, you should've let us do it with your shoes on. Why take them off?

There's no way the attorney was unaware of the 2-3cm difference when shoes are on and off.

Now, put your shoe on and put your foot on the table. We'll re-measure.

What are you doing?

You put your foot up just fine a while ago.

No. I-I'm fine.

The memorandum, footprints, and voice note. Are those the only pieces of evidence you have to declare your innocence?

Ms. Hyang Mi, could you bring over that cart? - Yes sir.

This is all evidence?

It seems you've strayed into a worse path.

If you keep lying based on fabricated evidence, you'll be at greater disadvantages down the line.

P-Pardon me, but I-!

Do not respond. We'll end the questioning here.

Choose. Will you just leave now, or speak the truth?

N-No, I was really going to be honest, but-!

I told you not to respond! - You don't have to respond.

The case has gotten big enough with your attitude and responses towards questioning, false testimonies, and fabricated CCTV footage.

This is more than enough to indict you.

From now on, all that can change is the severity of your sentence,

depending on your attitude during further questioning.

Is that a threat?

It's advice.

Is he going to jump out of a car with a broken brake, or is he staying until he crashes along with it.

I-I said I'd confess! But he was the one that told me to plead not guilty!

The memorandum, false testimonies--He got all of that! I have no idea what any of those things are!

Sir-!

Attorney! We have no choice but to exclude you from further investigation.

All the same on the account that you are suspected of getting rid of, concealing, and or fabricating evidence.

Prosecutor sir, I've committed a sin worth death!

If I raise my hand against my wife ever again, I'll cut off my hand!

So please, let my crimes be expiated!

First, we'll look into the wrongs you committed in detail. Everything beyond is something we'll have to think about.

Prosecutor sir, please sit here.

Now, shall we start?

Thank you, Prosecutor!

We did it.
