EPISODE 15

00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:28,180

You couldn't catch the culprit
because you were too close with him.

Personal Attack (Abusive)

In this scene, the circumstance of one’s closeness to the other was used to justify why he can’t
catch him.

00:09:07,681 --> 00:09:20,485

It was a murder because all records had
conveniently disappeared. The bastards in the bus company
killed all those people

Arguing from ignorance

since the absence of evidence (records) is used as justification that the crime of murder was
committed.

00:17:01,905 --> 00:17:10,121

She's just like Moo-sung Park because she uses her body.
Personal Attack (Abusive)
In this scene, the argument was based on an attack on her personal reputation/personality.

00:18:31,244 --> 00:19:38,353

Why did you kill her?
Because it felt like my heart had been completely empty since my son died. But that void has
been filled with fear.

Appeal to pity
Persuasion because of the emotional appeal to pity, as observed in this case.

00:32:21,281 --> 00:32:38,757

He got divorced too. It must've been shortly after the accident. When something goes wrong with
a child, parents end up hating each other.

Hasty generalization
In this case, the basis for claiming that he got divorced because something was wrong with the
child is not adequate because said situation that “when something wrong happens with a child,
parents will hate each other” does not represent every type of marriage with the same
circumstance.
00:42:57,208 --> 00:43:02,714
He certainly doesn't have the guts to kill anyone.
He's just a materialistic guy who uses his wife.

00:59:53,515 --> 00:59:57,811

Weren't you trying to flee the country
because you knew you'd be caught?

01:02:45,954 --> 01:02:49,874

Did he leave without you? [the accomplice]
He must've had your itinerary.

Begging the question (Leading)

These are examples of begging the question because they are designed to prove that one is guilty
of the crime if the questions are answered even when there are no evidences to support said
claim.

EPISODE 16
00:02:55,125 --> 00:02:59,588
You're much sneakier than I thought you could be, Chang-jun. Was this your plan?

Begging the question (Leading)

It consists of directing the person to answer a question that would make said person guilty of the
crime assumed to him

00:27:50,744 --> 00:27:54,581

I didn't expect that you'd be affected by the Huam-dong case.

Begging the question (Question-begging language)

In this statement, this fallacy is comitted because it is designed in a way that it assumes that one
is guilty of an allegation because the person was affected by the case.

00:29:09,364 --> 00:29:18,498

For my whole life, I've devoted myself to sustaining the nation's economy. And as you're
probably aware, I have given jobs to millions of young people in this country.

00:29:53,450 --> 00:30:17,641

..but I can confidently face the honorable history of this country and say that I am innocent. Even
toddlers know shame. You haven't become a decent human being even after killing a person.
Appeal to pity
In these statements, there are appeal to pity because the speaker is using one’s contributions to
the masses , and his devotion for the common good to justify his stand and persuade others.

00:36:46,645 --> 00:36:59,950

Do you think you won this game? I will destroy you with everything I have. You'll regret it for
the rest of your life. You'll beat your chest, wishing you hadn't bothered us at all.

Appeal to force
In this scene, it was clear that the interrogator used threats and intimidation to persuade the
suspect to confess.

00:47:24,407 --> 00:47:26,034

It was God's will that your life was spared.

Appeal to Inappropriate Authority

Religious arguments are not applicable in this case because God’s will was not relevant on the
investigation at hand.

00:54:10,980 --> 00:54:12,690

He was a monster created by our time.

Personal Attack
This statement was a fallacy that attacks the person’s credibility and reputation.

00:56:58,356 --> 00:57:01,776

What are you talking about?
Anyone who kills a person is a murderer.

Hasty Generalization
