Return (Riteon / 리턴)

The photos you are looking at...

are of the murder scene from a townhouse in Sinwol-dong.

There's no sign of forced entry...

or sign of robbery.

At the time of the incident, the victim's clothes were taken off.

The police suspected it to be a case of rape and murder,

and the autopsy result supported their suspicion.

After analyzing the sperm DNA, found in the victim's body,

surprisingly,

it was discovered it belonged to the victim's lover, the defendant.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Counsel, please make your case.

My gosh, isn't that something? Don't you think he's phenomenal?

When I looked over the case file,

partial fingerprints were found on the crime scene.

The analysis of these fingerprints show that they're her neighbor's.

The neighbor had changed light bulbs for the victim,

and they often shared food with each other.

I've acquired other neighbors' statements to support this claim.

The test result shows that the DNA of the sperm,

found in the victim,

does not match with Mr. Park, the owner of these fingerprints.

Your Honor, that's exactly it.

I thought that...

could've been a trap which was misleading us in this case.

Please continue.

Only partial fingerprints of Mr. Park were found on the scene.

What could that mean?

Wouldn't it mean that he was trying to conceal his trace?

If his visit was free of any crime,

logically thinking, it's normal to find his prints all over her place.

On the day of the incident,

the victim was found with her clothes torn.

How will you explain the sperm DNA?

Let me approach this from a different point of view.

According to an expert's opinion,

it's common for sperm to remain inside a body for up to three days.

The defendant's statement that...

he and the victim made love the night before supports this.

The very first part you will taste...

is the gills.

It's from the inside of the gills. - This is excellent.

Cheers. - The chewy texture is exceptional.

Give me the money.

My goodness.

Give us the head pieces.

We don't eat this part in Japan. Get it off the table.

They're Koreans after all.

The highlight of the tuna.

Dumb Koreans!

The tears of the tuna...

"Dumb Koreans"?

What?

You stupid Japanese.

He's a cop.

He's a cop!

Darn it!

The problem for this case...

lies in the initial investigation of the police.

The detective got too deep within his own theory...

and disregarded any evidence that didn't align with his theory.

After the ruling of the defendant's first trial,

he left a suicide note that he was wronged...

and committed suicide by hanging himself in the detention center.

If the police were more meticulous in verifying the evidence...

or there was a thorough consultation with an expert,

there wouldn't have been such a questionable verdict.

The family of the deceased Kim Young Geun...

requested a retrial, but it was denied.

What is the criteria for a court to grant a retrial?

The judges' authority?

I believe the law must hold a person's human rights...

and right to live above anything else.

I'd like to ask the viewers as well.

Cut! Good work, everyone!

I think this will turn out great.

How many times do I have to say not to put this black chair here?

It's just a rumor! A rumor! - What?

It's just a rumor.

What rumor?

That once you bite, you never let go.

Then you should know what you should do now.

But if they find out I told you, I'm dead.

Seriously.

It looks like he didn't see. - Yes, I think so.

Right?

If he saw it, he would've lost it with that temper of his.

She runs a wine bar in Cheongdam-dong.

There's a rumor that he likes her,

and that they lived together.

What's her name?

Ray? Ray...

Is it Ray?

It's Rachel Yum.

Rachel Yum.

I hear someone's moving into 302 today.

Tell us what you've heard, Jin Joo.

All I heard...

was that the actress, Jang Ha Young, was turned down.

Jang Ha Young isn't so bad.

No, no.

She became popular only for her pretty face.

I read in the tabloids...

that she's supporting her whole family.

Apparently, everyone in her family is living off her.

Someone like that... That's so beneath us.

Anyway, where is our town house's new resident,

the real new money?

You don't tell her these little jokes, do you?

I'm not that close with her.

Do you live here? - Yes.

I'm moving into 302 today.

I see.

So where do you live?

In 401.

Gosh, we're neighbors.

Hi.

You must look like your daddy.

Pardon?

She doesn't look like her mom, so she must look like her dad.

Yes.

See you around.

Spill it. - What?

You keep glancing at me.

The people in the office keep doing the same.

What is it?

You're not blind, so you'll find out eventually anyway.

You've watched the law show on TV called "Return", right?

No. I've only heard of it.

Your story was on it.

Are you the person on the show, "Return"?

Yes, it is you.

You look the same.

Do you want an autograph?

Tell me what you want. Go on.

What do you know? Why are you complaining about the police?

The Sinwol-dong case was already decided on by the court!

A person died and left behind a suicide note that he was wronged.

Nothing was wrong with the investigation.

Kim Young Geun didn't have an alibi.

He even had a life insurance policy for his girlfriend.

Naturally, he was the beneficiary.

The victim was paying the premium.

And Kim Young Geun was unaware of it when she took out that policy.

When he found out about it...

and heard he'd get hundreds of thousands of dollars,

he must've had a change of heart.

According to the insurance agent,

Kim Young Geun had requested the policy to be canceled.

He suggested that she should get an annuity insurance instead...

while saying that would be better for her future.

The two dead people dreamed of a future together.

But still, it may have been unintentional.

"Unintentional"?

The cause of death was excessive bleeding from her head wound,

but there were bruises on her neck.

That means...

that he choked her...

and struck her with a blunt object while she was unconscious.

Could that be unintentional?

Why did you ignore the note at the crime scene?

That's because... - I'm not saying that...

Kim Young Geun is not the killer.

I simply believe that if a man commits suicide...

while screaming out loud that he still wants to prove...

that he didn't kill his girlfriend...

even after his death, we should listen.

Do you have anything else to say?

I can't stand her.

Hello.

I just moved into 302.

It's nice to meet you.

Sure.

Why is she running with her clothes off in this cold?

She's so vulgar.

The owner hasn't been coming in lately.

May I get her personal contact information?

If you tell me what this is about, I'll relay the message.

No need. I'll be back later.

I wonder why a detective came to see me.

Get to work.

I found out what that woman does.

What does she do?

She runs a wine bar in Cheongdam-dong.

Oh, my gosh. A bar?

Yes.

It may be big, but it's still a bar.

What are they thinking? How could they let in a bar owner?

The owner changed his mind,

and decided to rent it out instead of selling it.

That place is just bad luck.

She wouldn't bring men to her house or anything, would she?

No way. - My goodness.

We meet again. - Hello.

Who knew there was such a nice place in the town house?

This is nice.

Hello.

May I join you?

Sorry, but as you can see, this seat is taken.

There are plenty of empty seats back there.
