The Good Detective (모범형사)

Umm.

Detective Kang.

I heard stories about you while I was in lock up.

Everyone said you're a nice man, a warm person.

Thank goodness.

I'm glad someone like you are in charge of my case.

I'm so grateful.

Cut the nonsense.

Just answer my questions truthfully.

Of course.

I will answer everything truthfully.

I swear on my daughter that I will never lie.

I don't think we need to be worried about the other side.

We just need the stories with the police to go well.

Here.

I've already looked over this.

Yes, but I wrote my side of the story on there.

I was at the delivery office during that time.

You can go check. I'm telling the truth.

For how long?

I just went off of Nam Gook-hyun's words who

said he checked the CCTV at the delivery office.

I should've gone there myself to check.

Why would I carry a knife with me?

The knife that I carry with me is a really small one used for cutting bubble wrap.

That's not the one I carry with me.

I only focused on a premeditated crime.

I should've checked the possibility of it being an accidental crime.

You're saying I raped someone in the delivery truck and killed her?

I have to return the truck during that time.

If I don't, the company checks.

I only called to confirm with the company

and led them to answer in a way that I wanted them to answer.

Since I started living with Eun-hye, I've never even spat on the ground.

I was so ashamed of my past.

You think someone like that would kill someone?

Two people?

How would I look at my daughter in the eyes?

I always look at Eun-hye's picture on my phone so my bad habits don't come up.

I tell myself that Eun-hye is always watching me.

I thank her every time I open my phone.

I thank her for being my daughter.

I look at her picture and say that countlessly every day.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

I would never do that to Eun-hye.

I'm not a bad father.

I saw Lee Dae-chul's heart at that moment.

But I made myself get rid of that thought.

Just because you're supposed to look at the case through the evidence.

- Detective Kang. - Yes?

This won't help much with the trial.

It's too subjective.

But still...

Won't they take it into consideration?

I was able to confirm one important thing though.

Detective Kang, the detective who arrested Lee Dae-chul,

is confident that Lee Dae-chul is innocent.

With all his heart.

This is good.

We're prepared to win now.

You can have some hope now.

- Sir. - Yes?

Please...

just let me die quietly.

Excuse me?

Come here!

Eun-hye...

- Stop the car for a minute. - Why?

Just stop the car. Let's get some fresh air.

I feel sick.

Maybe I ate something bad earlier.

You feel uncomfortable, huh?

And you feel sorry too.

Why would I feel sorry?

What else can I possibly do?

I've done all that I could.

I can go see him on my own.

Just give me a second. I just feel a little sick.

Since when?

What?

When did you start thinking that I wasn't the killer?

You were so sure I was the killer back then.

- You see... - Mr. Lee.

You must be mistaken.

We're not sure that you're not the killer.

It's just that we've found new evidence.

And we're reinvestigating the case because we have concluded

as detectives that the evidence is more than probable.

If those evidence don't prove that you're not the killer during the retrial,

we will accept the trial's verdict.

Yes.

But we're going to do everything that we can.

We will find all the evidence that we can.

That's enough.

Why are you refusing to go to trial?

I won't blame you, so stop.

I've killed you and those bastard detectives multiple times in my dream.

So that's enough.

Just go.

We see Eun-hye often.

Your daughter, Lee Eun-hye.

Don't worry. Detective Kang is taking good care of her.

Lee Dae-chul.

Don't you think you need to see your daughter more?

I can't promise you that you will get released.

But I will get you a reduced sentence at the very least.

Then you'll be able to see Eun-hye. You can live to see Eun-hye.

Why?

Why are you dragging my innocent Eun-hye into this? Why?

It was you, huh? It was all because of you!

It's your fault Eun-hye was laying on the ground, huh?

- What are you doing? - Tell me!

Why did Eun-hye end up like that?

Was it because of me?

You can just kill me!

Why are you doing this?

Eun-hye asked me...

to save you.

Just live...

For that child,

you need to live, Lee Dae-chul.

He's right.

It's fine. We'll take care of him.

Have you gotten an update on Eun-hye recently?

Who told you that Eun-hye is not doing well right now?

No...

I'm just worried about her. That's all.

- Lee Dae-chul. - Don't ask me anything.

Just stop it.

Detective Kang.

Yes? What is it?

Just tell me one thing.

What is it?

When Eun-hye gets married...

Please walk her down the aisle for me.

Then you would've done all that you need to do.

It's because of Eun-hye.

You know Oh Jong-tae, right?

Yes, I do.

Oh Jong-tae was approved to start a real estate trust business 6 months ago.

You know about that too, right?

Well, I've heard.

A real estate trust business is like a goose that lays golden eggs.

But a man who has nothing to do with finance

was the only one to get approved for that business in Incheon.

Why do you think that is?

Is it just because he's a resident of Incheon?

I come from a judicial background.

I don't know much about finance, and don't know anyone from that field.

Geum Sang-ho was the Commissioner of Financial Services Commission at the time.

You two are friends who did student movements together during the military regime.

You two went through a lot together.

That's just a coincidence.

Yeah.

Got it.

As we expected, you were mentioned at the hearing regarding the business approval.

And the chairman of the judiciary committee has ordered you to come too.

What am I supposed to do then?

Should I go into hiding?

No.

You can just refuse to show up.

You won't be forced.

You can just pay a fine later.

A law is a very scary thing for people who don't know much about it...

but it's like nothing for people who do know.

Has the police come to you regarding something other than this?

They have.

It's regarding the death row inmate Lee Dae-chul, right?

Yes.

Have they found evidence that makes you look suspicious?

I might get called in if they hold a retrial for Lee Dae-chul.

There was an incident that would make me look very suspicious.

But I won't ever have to stand in court.

Right?

If we keep bowing to Oh Jong-tae, he will try to control us.

There's nothing we can do right now.

Keeping his mouth shut is what's important right now.

There should be something we can get him on.

Find out what that is.

I'm going to get him as soon as the hearing is over.

Of course.

Did you go see your father recently?

I've checked the prison's visitation record.

Did you go see him often?

Then you saw your father for the first time in 5 years.

He's very worried about you, right?

Of course he is. What parent wouldn't be worried when their

grown daughter falls to the ground every now and then?

He doesn't know about that.

How would be know when I didn't tell him?

He knows about it.

How?

How does he know that?

Yeah...

I wonder how he found out.

I heard you refused to show up at first.

Why did you suddenly change your mind?
