Again My Life (어게인 마이 라이프)

(All people, locations, organizations, institutions, and events...)

(that are mentioned and depicted in this drama are fictitious.)

Good morning.

The public is furious.

"College Girl Murder" is topping all search engine rankings.

All eyes are on the despicable murderer.

Is Prosecutor Jang Il Hyun in charge of this case?

Yes, sir.

He stood out among his peers even when he was a rookie.

He's good.

Call Kim Seok Hoon.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

I'll let Prosecutor Jang know.

Right, sure.

Take care.

No!

I told you that it wasn't me!

Intermittent explosive disorder.

You think I have a mental disorder because I'm yelling?

It's what the psychiatrist thinks.

And it's evidence that I killed her?

You and your girlfriend fought often.

Every time you fought, you verbally abused her.

You even threw things at her and caused a ruckus, which led...

to an argument with your neighbour too.

I already told you all about that.

- Could you please believe me... - Even that day,

you and your girlfriend fought again.

You lost it and stabbed her in the heat of the moment.

Spur-of-the-moment murders are very simple.

The stabber is the only one who feels conflicted and confused.

Please hear me out!

Hey.

I'm not sitting here now to listen to a scumbag like you.

How dare you raise your voice at me?

Mark my words.

I'll get you the heaviest sentence possible.

Do you know who makes judgement calls these days?

The public and their opinion.

You.

You're doomed.

Yes, Jang Il Hyun speaking.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is closely watching this case.

Keep me in the loop on everything, no matter how small.

Make sure we don't hear a single word...

about Mirae Electronics in the media.

Yes, I'll come up with more attention-grabbing headlines.

Thank you, sir.

Looks like we should pick up the pace.

I heard Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub is closely watching this case.

Talk about perfect timing.

I must say, I've done pretty well.

If I move up, it will only benefit you. You know?

Yes. Thank you, sir.

This punk. I was just thinking I should give him a call.

Hey, Reporter Park.

This evening? Okay!

Yes. I actually wanted to talk to you about something.

You're due for a promotion.

I never give you useless info.

- You're here, sir. - Yes.

Why did you want to meet?

I'm after Jang Il Hyun.

Jang Il Hyun?

What's going on? Your eyes are shining with determination again.

Gosh, here we go again.

It's wrong...

to accuse an innocent person of murder just to get a promotion.

It's just not right, you know?

Right. That explains why you're after him. But how will you do it?

- A bribed prosecutor. - Okay, you got my attention.

But if that's all we've got,

it won't be as big as you want it to be.

Chief Kim Seok Hoon has got his back.

And I bet Chief Kim is backed by someone who's very powerful.

My pride would be hurt if I had to hesitate because of that.

Let's stack the deck just like we did in Gimsan.

Stack the deck?

Correct.

Jang Il Hyun is dating Sung Jin Mi.

Come on. They're dating, so what?

First, we're going to make sure the media is all over it.

Hey, I'm not an entertainment reporter.

Hey, what are friends for?

Your colleagues will buy you dinner if you show them those photos.

Okay.

Then you'll have to buy me drinks.

Pianist Sung Jin Mi, who is also...

the chairwoman of the National University Arts Foundation...

- is in love. - Isn't that Mr. Jang?

He's dating her? For real?

- Is that Mr. Jang? - They met at an event...

- and are officially dating now. - Ms. Choi, look.

- Oh, there he is. - We wish them all the best.

I can't believe he's dating her.

Prosecutor Jang, I heard you're seeing someone these days.

Make sure you eat some chives.

Why should I eat chives?

Do some squats, you idiot.

(Pianist Sung Jin Mi, in Love with Prosecutor)

She's frequently mentioned in the media.

You can date,

but you should be careful if you're seeing someone like her.

I'll do my best to offset the disadvantages...

of dating someone like her.

Are there advantages?

Yes, we have a very functional relationship in terms of...

You know what I'm talking about.

Yes. A prosecutor and an artist.

Not a bad combination.

Congratulations.

- Thank you, sir. - Good for you.

Really? The chief congratulated us?

Yes, that's right.

Then all their corrupt deeds will come out in the open at once,

and all eyes will be on them.

If that happens, even Kim Seok Hoon and his higher-ups...

will struggle to cover it up.

Before that, I need you to take care of Sung Jin Mi...

at the National University Arts Foundation.

What's this?

It contains the foundation's admission list...

and detailed info on the assets and properties...

that Sung Jin Mi and the foundation own.

I need you to go through them.

(Land, Building, Savings Account, Membership)

Gosh, this is nuts.

Admissions bribery, tax evasion, and embezzlement.

Do you think we can pull this off?

Corruption in education is an ongoing issue.

Besides, Sung Jin Mi is a big spender,

and she travels abroad often.

It's very likely that she's spending the foundation's money like her own.

Good point. I think we can definitely pull this off.

Okay, I got this.

Sir.

Well done.

Sir, please take care of Jang Il Hyun's bribery case.

Okay. I'll also use the evidence I've collected.

I'll focus on the investigation that he's leading.

The college girl murder?

Yes. No one should suffer unjustly...

because of a prosecutor like Jang Il Hyun.

You were questioned all day. I'm sorry I called you in again.

It's okay.

You didn't kill her, right?

You said it wasn't you.

Right?

Yes. It wasn't me.

We had a big fight.

I got angry, so I walked away for a moment. That was when...

If I stayed with her, she'd still be alive.

How far did you go?

I exited that alley and walked all the way to the main road.

I had a smoke to cool off and went back.

Given the distance, it probably took less than five minutes.

That's right.

You were still close by. Did you not hear her scream?

No. I heard nothing.

This was where she was stabbed?

Mr. Lee Ju Seok.

Yes.

Do you remember where her stab wounds were located?

Her neck, chest,

back, side, and stomach.

There were so many.

And you didn't hear her scream?

No.

Then we know where she was stabbed first.

The lungs.

Do you think you can see the wounds...

on her body?

Yes.

Gosh...

Which one caused damage to the lungs?

You're a med student, so you must know.

This one.

The one on the back caused damage to the lungs.

Then we can assume that she was attacked from behind.

It means that Sun Hee couldn't even scream.

If you're stabbed in the lungs, you can't scream.

It must've been so painful.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Mr. Lee.

Yes.

We need evidence that you weren't there at that moment.

Try to remember what you saw, no matter how insignificant.

Well...

I'm not sure if this will be helpful.

What is it? Tell me.

When I was walking along the main road,

an idol singer's fan signing event was taking place.

I walked by them,

so maybe I was caught on camera.

Okay. I'll check the security cameras in the area.

One more thing.

Don't tell Prosecutor Jang that I was here.

I won't.

Wait, Prosecutor.
