(Episode 12)
Hurray! We got it!
Hurray!
We got it!
Are you sure that this is the knife from the truck driver murder case?
Yes, I'm sure,
no, I believe so.
But it will be handed over to the NFS for a proper exam.
How did you find out that it was hiding there?
Why do you trust me?
I'm asking you a question!
I really wish I could hate you...
and distrust you.
Then I could let go,
and feel free.
There were some issues in the previous investigation,
but most police officers work hard to find the truth.
This piece of information also came from a policeman of justice.
We would like to thank him for that.
("The Knife Likely from the Incident Found")
("To Be Evaluated by the NFS")
Du Shik, you're watching the TV right now, right?
Proving your innocence will be a walk in the park now!
How's Young Jun doing?
Tell Young Jun that I'll be bringing him lots of presents,
so he should stay home and wait for me.
- Mr. Park! - Yes?
Captain Han!
Hurray!
- Han Sang Man! - Honey...
Han Sang Man!
There's Uncle Sam Soo.
Hurray!
Mom, Dad, why are you crying?
Sorry?
We're just so glad to see Sam Soo on TV.
Everyone there is my friend.
Yeo Jin!
Young Jun, you'll now be able to have fun at school.
You'll make lots of friends too. I can promise you that.
Han Sang Man!
Park Tae Yong!
We did it! Hurray!
Yes!
(Social Welfare Services)
(Cheongsu-dong Administration and Welfare Center)
Honey, where are you? What about the kids?
No! How many times need I tell you?
I'll head over right now.
Don't go out anywhere. Just stay home with the kids.
- Excuse me. - You can't enter here.
- Please come later. - We're here to report.
Please stop. You can't film right now.
Please come later.
The current police will need to take care of the rest.
You've got a lot of eyes watching you now.
In other words, you have no place to retreat.
Since we've filed our report, please hand it over to the NFS fast.
There's no way this knife was hidden in the wall.
He definitely said that he threw it away in the Osung Stream.
Had you...
not hidden the knife,
Joon Seok would've been fine.
You'll arrest Lee Jae Sung now, right?
After the NFS confirms that the knife is his.
Am I the only one here who knows that the man who served...
his full sentence in prison is Kim Du Shik?
Watch it, Chief An Young Kwon!
Am I wrong?
Let's talk after the NFS is done with the investigation.
If we find Lee Min Hyung's DNA on this knife,
you better take responsibility for it.
You better hurry.
Let's get going.
Kim Kwi Hyun! Where is he?
I'm here, sir!
Hey, this isn't time for you to be sipping on your coffee.
The Osung truck driver murder case is the most-searched thing online.
We're getting flooded with money on your article funding now!
- Look at it. - Sorry?
Get that fundraiser on the front page,
and what is that Mr. Park guy doing?
Tell him to give you his article already! The world has flipped!
All right. Hold on.
Let's make the fundraiser bigger.
I'll support you on it.
We're reviving the dead world of journalism in Korea right now.
Let me call Mr. Park first.
All right!
You're a genius!
Don't get overly excited.
Calm down, then talk.
What? How much was raised through the fundraiser?
All right. Hang up!
What about the article fundraiser?
My goodness.
You've been all over the place, and now you've gone crazy.
What? What's wrong?
- Mr. Park. - What's wrong?
- What's wrong with you? - What is it?
Look at our fundraiser! There's a reason why I'm so excited.
How much is that?
It's like we found our philanthropists!
The civilians are our philanthropists!
No way. How much is that?
370,000 dollars?
Attorney Park, seems like you'll be paying back my 5,000 quick.
Why are we talking about that now? That's not even that much.
- "Not even that much"? - Amazing.
- We have the whole public with us. - Oh, really?
"Han Sang Man! He's the real police."
"You three are amazing."
"Attorney Park, I knew you could do it this time around too!"
- That's right! - All right!
We've even got our funding down.
Everything seems to be going perfectly.
Attorney Park,
thank you for describing Joon Seok as a good man.
This piece of information also came from a policeman of justice.
We would like to thank him for that.
Thank you for pulling me through all of it...
- with Attorney Hwang as well. - Of course.
What are you talking about? We've got a long way to go.
Are you already planning on drawing out?
No, of course not!
The comment was precisely right.
Sang Man is the real police, and he did it!
- I'm Han Sang Man! - He's Han Sang Man!
Why don't we get a photo?
- Sure. - Let's do that.
- Come here. - I'll take one now.
- Let's hold hands. - Sure.
Here I go.
1, 2, 3.
One more.
Nice.
That looks good.
Nice.
The police, Prosecution Service, and a lawyer one in heart.
The completion of true law.
- Right. - That's right.
- You two did great as well. - That's right.
Well, what reporter in Korea doesn't do this much?
Yoo Kyung, the tide has come in. Let's go write our articles.
Yes. Nice.
(Prosecution Service)
Is that really the knife?
Cops are so frustrating. They can't do anything right.
I followed my sense of duty and issued a search warrant!
They should've found it then! Why are they...
Yes, sir. I've never seen that knife before either.
We'll have to wait to see what the NFS finds.
Yes.
Yes, sir.
What happens to us now?
Why are you shaking? You did nothing wrong.
It's obvious what the NFS will find.
Didn't you hear me?
I've never seen that knife before.
Young Kwon.
You've never seen it before either.
Am I wrong?
You've never seen that knife before.
That's our story.
The evil Lee Jae Sung lied in the past,
and we had no choice but to fall for it.
Will that work?
Joon Seok...
died.
No one knows the truth.
But still. We should think of...
We didn't hide it!
Joon Seok hid it!
- This is it. - You stupid idiot.
Don't give that to me.
Throw it away. I never saw it.
But...
- Take care of it. - But...
Stop getting worked up like an amateur. Look how calm I am.
I was humiliated in front of the entire country.
How could I not get worked up?
You are an amazing prosecutor.
Get over here. Let me shake your hand.
Are you mocking me?
You punk. You still don't get it.
Hee Sung. Thank goodness...
you issued the search warrant 15 years ago.
You've saved the Prosecution Service.
What do you mean?
You shouldn't belittle this because it isn't about you.
You are so dense.
"The just prosecutor Yoon Hee Sung..."
"issued a warrant in order to clear the name of a 17-year-old boy,"
"but the police fell for the killer's lies..."
"and couldn't find the knife."
"But Yoon Hee Sung never gave up on the truth."
Isn't that a great story?
Yes.
It really is.
I worked so hard to clear his name.
Will the world realize my efforts?
You punk. Now, you get it.
Turn the blame on the cops and the court.
These stupid judges...
If the cops and prosecutors make a mistake,
they should catch it and set it right.
I know.
The court is the final step to protecting civil rights.
They shouldn't be so careless with their trials.
Those jerks.
Wow. Sam Soo. That punk really has it going on.
How much funds did he raise?
400,000 dollars already?
What are you looking at?
Hey. Do you think they'd follow the laws...
regarding donations?
Will they use the money for the purpose...
they told the people?
Find out right now.
Okay. It's always a sure thing...
if we dig into things like this.
Hey. Dig into them all.
The funds received for the Samjung three-man murder is key.
Check Park Tae Yong's and Park Sam Soo's accounts.
I'll report up above.
(17-Year-Old Boy Framed for Murder)
This is awesome.
The money is going up and up.
What do we do?
Are you that happy?
Hey. This isn't about the money.
This is about the victory of great journalism.
Readers don't shun good articles.
That's what it's all about.
Talk about grandiose.
- Write that quickly. - Okay.
I'm going to see Du Shik.
- Sam Soo. - Yes?
Don't cry when you see him.
What? Cry? Of course, not.
All of that was calculated and planned.
Can't you tell I'm heartless?
My only pursuit is the truth.
My goal is the truth.
My girlfriend's name is Jin Shil, which means "truth".
What's with that look?
Stop looking at me with that offensive smile.
It's super annoying.
While we're on the topic, let me call Jin Shil.
Wow! The truthful Jin Shil!
The truth for which I have been seeking.
Did you watch the live broadcast?
That's not why I called.
I called to hear your voice.
Anyway, let's send that video and article to your father stat.
While money and fame are at their height!
The timing couldn't be better!
Let's go introduce me to him!
Did you watch the news?
Your son really did it this time.
What did Sam Soo do?
He did a good thing.
It looks like he'll clear someone's name of murder.
My gosh.
You startled me.
The mom and son are both incredible.
The mom is so good at scrubbing off dead cells,
and the son scrubs off the wrong done to innocent people.
How cool.
You're too kind.
You're always in this bathhouse.
When did you have time to raise your son so well?
Are you healthy?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
Why did you have to go out with that woman-beater?
Gosh.
The townspeople are looking after Sam Soo,
so don't worry.
Thank you.
I promise I'll repay you.
Eat well...
and come out healthy.
Let's go.
- Jung Hyun. - Yes?
I forgot.
Sam Soo. Don't you have indoor shoes?
How pretty.
Yes.
Here.
Thank you.
Sam Soo. Are you really thankful?
Then promise me something.
Just remember this one thing.
"I am not alone."
"I have my neighborhood aunties and uncles."
Got that?
Go to school.
- See you later. - See you later.
Have fun at school.
- Let's go. - Okay.
I didn't raise him.
Our neighbors like you raised him.
What are you talking about?
You raised him well.
Why is the condensation dropping from the ceiling so hot?
Anyway, stop switching bathhouses.
I've only switched churches before to follow my pastor.
I never knew I'd switch bathhouses to follow you.
You should be the pillar of Nambu Market now...
and relieve our muscles.
Okay?
Yes, ma'am.
Gosh.
Where else would I get such good service?
- Want me to cut it? - That's refreshing.
- It tastes extra sweet today. - Doesn't it?
It's good.
(Assemblyman Tak Jae Hyung)
Excuse me.
My gosh. Congratulations.
(Assemblyman Tak Jae Hyung)
It looks like you'll pull off something I couldn't do.
Thank you.
I promise I will this time.
The general election next year?
How could I run for office?
Mr. Park. This is a great opportunity.
The timing is perfect.
You can help the weak even more from here.
You should join us now.
Yes, sir.
I'll take this one. Strawberry and whipped cream.
- This is the biggest one, right? - Yes.
How many candles do you need?
Not too many.
- Give me 50. - 50?
Just 30 then.
Young Jun! I'm here!
Welcome. You didn't have to bring so much.
Here you go.
Young Jun!
Congratulations.
On what? My birthday has already passed.
Well...
Let's celebrate that I was on TV!
Why are you crying?
My mom and dad cried earlier too.
Well, when you're really happy,
it can sometimes make you cry.
Let's have cake because you were reborn today.
What do you think?
Thank you, Mr. Park.
I didn't do anything.
Did you see how much money we've raised?
Is that how much you've raised?
400,000?
You two saved my life.
My girlfriend almost kicked me out.
But now...
I have a feeling we might be able to get married.
That's really great.
I feel shy.
Young Jun, I'm paying you back.
If you do nice things, you'll always be rewarded.
After having some cake, let's go out and play soccer.
You should hang out with your friends more too, okay?
I have no friends.
(Mayor of Seoul Kang Chul Woo)
I did hear that he has a lot of money,
but does he chew on wild ginseng instead of gum?
He's full of energy!
He probably plays golf. The swing looked great.
It looked great? What do you mean?
He swung that heavy hammer with so much power...
Well, anyway,
the prosecution won't be blamed this time.
And? Do you not want to enter the National Assembly?
Have you given up?
If I've given up? No way.
Are you going to run in your hometown where...
even a dog can win as long as it's from our party?
I can't let that happen.
You'll run in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
Yes, I will.
According to our senior party members,
Park Tae Yong's popularity is soaring these days.
He's on TV every day...
and getting more and more famous.
- Yoon Suk. - Yes?
Things are moving in an interesting way.
Get it together.
What do you mean?
Do you know what my nickname used to be?
It was Park Messi, okay?
Park Messi.
Will he be able to get past the best defender, Kim Young Jun?
He's going to attack. Here we go.
He lost the ball!
Do you want to play with me?
It's okay. Go play with Young Jun.
Here we go!
Kick hard!
Young Jun!
- No! - He took the ball.
Guys, come here and play soccer with us.
Play with us!
Here we go.
Hey! Pass!
Young Jun, pass the ball to Sam Soo!
It's okay. He probably wants to play with the other kids.
Pass!
(Bum Jae)
(Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk)
- Hello. - You must be happy.
It seems like the article has raised more than 400,000 dollars.
You'll be paid compensation too.
You'll soon be one of Osung's richest men.
No. The money isn't mine anyway.
Whose money is it then?
You need to get it together.
The reporter and the lawyer...
are selling your story for money.
What are you talking about?
Hey, this is not okay.
I want you to pay me back the deposit immediately.
Before the reporter and the lawyer take all your money away,
- pay me back. - How will I find so much money...
Wait. Hello?
Prosecutor Jang, what is this about?
The funding?
It's no big deal.
I'll treat you to a drink soon.
I have a lot of money these days.
Are you collecting political funds?
Everyone's saying Park Tae Yong is running in the general election.
Political funds? That's nonsense.
Then again, with this much money,
we could easily run in the election.
(We know the truth.)
(Go, Lawyer Park Tae Yong!)
(We root for you!)
Gosh, is he really going to run in the election?
Mr. Yoon, how did it go?
Wasn't getting a warrant your specialty?
Why haven't you even requested one yet?
Are you just unlucky or incompetent?
Can you not even stop someone like Park Tae Yong?
I will stop him no matter what.
Clause 5, Article 420 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
"When evidence that can overturn the original ruling is found,"
"a retrial is granted."
With the new evidence, how are you going to stop him?
Please give me a chance.
If I can't find a way, I'll make one up.
It's not a good idea to try too hard.
Should I give you a tip?
How high...
was your rank at the Training Institute?
I was number three.
Among the smart people who passed the bar exam, you were number three.
That's a great achievement.
Not really.
That was the only time I wasn't number one in my life.
You know what? The only people in this country...
who brood over their grades and rank as often as they can...
even after they're over 60...
are judges and prosecutors.
After being number 1 all your life, being number 3...
must have felt quite bitter.
Yes, it really did.
That's how all judges feel.
They think they're better than everyone else.
But the court is full of geniuses.
They've never lost to anyone or asked favors before,
so when they get passed over for promotion,
they can't stand it.
To control the judges,
you need to read their minds.
The shame felt by the geniuses who have always been on top.
Their desire to climb higher.
The pride that they're the best.
Read their minds...
and control them completely.
Do you understand?
Yes.
I'll keep that in mind.
Why haven't we heard anything from Mr. Park?
Is he having something nice without us somewhere?
I'm sure he feels full even without eating.
Pay more attention to your partner.
He's probably too busy checking the funding progress to eat.
You're right.
I hadn't exercised so vigorously in a while.
So I'm beat.
Thank you for today. I'll get going now.
- Sure. - All right.
- Good night. - See you.
I'll get going too.
- Okay. Get home safely. - Thank you.
- See you. - Bye.
Those who can cry...
are selfless and can go far.
You will win because you're one of those people.
This is another historical moment.
It's just us two left now.
Things have gone just as you said.
Everyone is smiling right now.
And I'm smiling the biggest.
I have a reason for that.
Please hop in.
My hometown isn't far from Osung.
Why don't we visit the beach in my hometown first?
Is there going to be a huge banner that says,
"The son of the town, Park Tae Yong, has done it again!"?
I should've called my friend to get that done.
Tae Yong.
If you...
continue to be a good boy,
just like the dream I had before having you,
you'll become a dragon that soars through the sky.
If you get in trouble,
you'll end up like the boy from "Galaxy Express 999"...
and wander around without a mom.
Keep that in mind, okay?
Attorney Park, working like this is tiring, right?
It is, honestly.
It's lonely and it's never-ending.
I don't know for how much longer I can keep this up.
Should I choose another path?
Another path?
People live as they've lived.
It's nothing special.
I want to help more people.
More people who don't have a voice.
This is a great opportunity.
The timing is just right.
Here, you can help more people who are in need.
It's about time you join us.
You know that I'm always rooting for you, right?
(Clam Kalguksu)
This is the best restaurant in all of this neighborhood.
Would you like to eat here?
Really?
Could we eat here?
Yes, please have a seat.
Oh, my. Mr. Tae Yong!
I told you to just call me Tae Yong. No need to call me "Mr. Tae Yong".
I saw you on the news. What a relief.
What a great job you've done.
Going through real struggles,
all I wanted at the end was your meal, Aunt.
This is Ms. Lee Yoo Kyung. She works with me.
She might be working with me for a very long time.
Hello. I'm Lee Yoo Kyung.
Nice to meet you.
This is my aunt.
You should've told me that you were coming!
- Have a seat. - Yes, ma'am.
Thank you.
When I quit school in high school,
she was the one who convinced me to go back.
She also financially supported me when I was studying for the bar.
You're his hero.
It's nothing like that. He's exaggerating.
I'm incredibly proud...
to have you achieve so much good in the world.
Aunt, should I run for office here?
I'd be all over your campaign then.
Are you serious?
Why don't I trust in the dream of the train...
becoming a dragon?
- Please eat. - Okay.
Come in.
Thank you for inviting me here.
It's nothing. You must be busy.
Have a seat.
This is what we've talked about with our senior party members.
The party has come up...
with something cool and hip.
No, I mean, something very unique.
What is it?
Our idea is, instead of leaving Attorney Park to mess around more,
we should take him in and make him one of us.
There have been talks of recruiting him for the next general election.
Bring him in and make him one of us?
Yes. It's going to help our party in a way.
He's a high-school graduate from a tiny island town,
and helps people in need.
He'd be great at making the party look good.
Wouldn't his image overlap with Prosecutor Jang's?
Sir, I always take what you've said to my heart.
In order to go big, you have to put your family behind at times.
You're indeed becoming a true leader.
I'm always thinking about my calling,
to better the community, no, the country,
whatever I'm doing.
I'll do my best.
Let me just ask you something. What are you guys trying to get at?
We have nothing like that.
We just ended up here.
Don't lie.
My father-in-law's party is...
talking about recruiting Park Tae Yong into the party.
Well,
he's quite popular nowadays.
Are you guys doing this for next year's general election?
What are you going to do if Attorney Park gets a seat?
Are you just going to be his slave or something?
His slave?
Let's use proper names here.
- His aide. - Nonsense.
Who do you think you are, Lee Jung Jae?
I do look like him.
What district is Park Tae Yong running for?
Wherever the public wants him to.
Don't come to Jongno.
I won't let you be if you mess with Jongno.
Attorney Park is being considered for Jongno?
I told you that I'd like to stop being involved with you all.
Just keep collecting small money...
and do retrials like you've been doing.
Wait, why does it matter to you...
whether Attorney Park runs for office or not?
Hey! You think I'm kidding?
Maybe you don't know because you're not as educated,
but I'm Korea's prosecutor! Darn it!
So what?
I'm an elite, a Seoul National University alumnus and a prosecutor,
so how do you think I'd feel...
to be compared to someone like Park Tae Yong?
Then you should step your game up.
I'm telling you because I care.
Don't come up any further. Stay here.
You understand?
You punk.
I'm sorry.
Hey, if I strike you to save my own life,
do you know how heartbreaking that'd be for me?
I'm just saying this like a caring big brother.
Stop looking at your phone. You're going to trip.
I wasn't looking at my phone.
Then what?
I'm looking at our future!
We've already raised 450,000 dollars!
Are you that happy?
You paid for the entire deposit on our apartment.
I should pick up the slack.
My great Jin Shil who housed me and fed me.
The amazing grace of the mighty Jin Shil.
It's time to repay you.
My gosh. You freeloaded off of me for five years,
and you've finally grown up.
I'll convert those five years we lived together...
into a glorious 50 years.
My dad called yesterday.
He said to come over on Friday.
Okay.
We'll go! Of course, we'll go.
He is watching how you're doing,
- but I think he's very shocked. - Why?
He was worried that his daughter would grow old all alone...
Then he should be happier about me.
His daughter, who was always the top student in her grade,
is secretly living with this guy who looks like a mountain bandit.
How could he not be shocked?
Do you know how much money is piled up in here?
My dad may break your legs.
Then let's book the fanciest restaurant.
We have 500,000 dollars here, so even if we split it evenly,
I have at least 100,000 dollars coming my way.
Forget it. He said to come home.
Young Kwon. I have the NFS report.
Let me see it.
It matches the DNA of the dead trucker.
(Chief An Young Kwon)
I still had my hopes, but...
What has Lee Jae Sung been up to?
I don't know if he's acting,
or if he actually believes he's innocent,
but he's still working.
If you see here, people over the age of 65...
- will get... - So... Mr. Lee.
I've been hearing a strange rumor.
It's not true, right?
Sir. Don't worry.
The truth will not be swayed.
Thank goodness.
You won't go anywhere, right?
I can't live without you anymore.
I'll always be here.
You can be reassured.
Okay?
Let me finish explaining.
This is the list of judges in Osung.
Their family backgrounds, their education histories,
personalities, political affiliations,
and their grades at the Training Institute.
Who is the best at their job?
Well...
This person. Judge Choi Dong Suk.
He was second at the Institute and got a Masters from Harvard.
(Head Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk)
Come in.
Yoon Suk!
You found something.
I've got Park Tae Yong and Park Sam Soo now.
What is it? Let me see.
Park Tae Yong has minus 98,000 dollars.
Park Sam Soo has 180 dollars.
These annoying bums.
Is this everything?
Of course, not.
Look at the first page.
(Kang Sang Hyun)
Park Tae Yong. I misjudged you.
You've been really naughty.
They're a bunch of thieves.
Totally. That's right.
Are all the chief judges here?
Yes, sir. Would you like to go now?
Go ahead. I'll be right there.
(Personnel Reassignment)
It's ready.
We've decided on Judge Choi Dong Suk.
I'll send it along with the personnel reassignment form.
(Personnel Reassignment)
Judges are amazing in drafting documents.
(Chuncheong Province District Court)
You have to incite their ambition and sense of shame...
to get them to act voluntarily.
(2020 National Chief Judges Conference)
Please take your seats.
(2020 National Chief Judges Conference)
The sense of shame of those who were always on top.
Their ambition to climb even higher.
Their pride in being the best.
You must read them...
and know how to massage those feelings.
The court is the final step to protecting civil rights.
If the court weakens,
the weak will suffer.
In order to provide proper trials by the judges,
we plan to reorganize and make some personnel shifts.
Moreover, in order to boost morale,
we plan to hold various face-to-face events.
Thank you.
I was moved by your words.
We'll start working on unifying the courts nationwide...
that you mentioned.
It's nice to see the judges take it upon themselves.
Thank you.
I heard the news about Judge Choi Dong Suk.
I'll relay the message so he understands.
Don't worry, sir.
Captain Han! The NFS results are a match!
We'll request the retrial right away.
See you soon.
You heard that the NFS found that the DNA matched, right?
We'll request the retrial right away.
Riding on the momentum, I'm meeting Jin Shil's father...
to request her hand in marriage.
"Request marriage". That has a nice ring to it.
You should take better care of your appearance now.
I do.
I used to be the idol of News and New.
No. Think of your role and reputation in society.
Let's go somewhere.
This is nice.
This is a gift from me.
I can afford to buy you this much. Try it on.
Have you lost your mind? Stop it.
Come on.
You found all those philanthropists and increased my popularity.
I can't shine by myself.
My partner needs to shine with me.
Wear this to meet her father.
I received a gift like this before and paid dearly.
Don't you know me yet? Trust me.
Try things on while I'm willing to pay for it.
Hey. This looks good too.
- Try it on. - I shouldn't.
Try it on.
- I shouldn't. - Go on.
Excuse me. Aren't you Mr. Park Tae Yong?
Yes, how may I help you?
I have so much respect for you. You're really cool.
May we get a picture?
It doesn't cost money to take a picture.
It won't wear out my face.
- Sure. Let's take the picture. - Thank you.
Okay. Take several.
You're so cool.
1, 2, 3.
Come here. I'll take it.
Mr. Park. May we get one too?
- Sure. - Here.
Thank you.
- Look here. - Okay.
Okay, 1, 2, 3.
- Thank you. - Utmost respect.
Mr. Park.
Come here.
Well...
Take our picture.
Okay.
Here we go.
- Okay, pose. - Okay.
Pose nicely. 1, 2, 3.
I took my picture.
Gosh.
Okay, again.
Should I make your legs look short?
- No. Long. - Long.
Okay, 1, 2, 3.
(Park Tae Yong)
I just made up my autograph now.
- Okay. - Thank you.
I can't walk around freely anymore.
You look great.
Let's get a picture together.
- It's okay. - Come on.
It has been a while.
Why are you making that face?
Smile.
Why did you take me here?
It'll stink up my suit.
If things go well, I'll buy you beef.
You're acting strange. Did something good happen?
Okay. Let's drink.
Things are going smoothly ever since I met you.
You saw, right?
It's kind of uncomfortable since people recognize me.
So?
I feel awkward.
Do you have something else planned?
Like what?
Like... The general election is next year.
Are you interested in running?
Why would I... No way.
I'm not so sure.
Of course, I can shoot up...
- just like my mom's dream, but... - See?
The money is pouring in now,
and things are finally going well.
Why are you trying to leave?
We barely requested the retrial for the Osung case.
I won't go anywhere without closing it out.
You have to keep your word! Okay?
Keep it down.
See? Look at this. Your heart is elsewhere.
You can't do this anymore.
Let's keep doing these cases.
We're making money too now.
Listen.
Making too much money can be a problem too.
That's absurd.
I can't wait to fight while sitting on piles of money.
I'm sure it'll be super fun.
Anyway, it's my treat today.
Thank you for doing this with me so far.
Are you saying goodbye to me?
I'll never let go of you.
You can't go anywhere.
Eat up.
Bye.
- Hello. Do you need a bag? - Yes, please.
I'd love to buy the kids organic foods,
but this is way too expensive.
I'll just buy what's on sale.
It's for the kids. We should get the best ones.
It's just some eggs.
Still, these are too expensive.
Let's go.
- Oh, you're here. - Hello.
- Hello.
If we go to a nicer place, they'll accuse us of corruption,
so let's settle for dakbal today.
- Dakbal sounds great. - I love it.
Yoon Suk, before we start...
Oh, right. Well...
- What's this? - Thank you.
Have this before drinking, and you'll feel great tomorrow morning.
That's so thoughtful of you.
It's lemon flavor.
By the way, your face is glowing even in this situation.
Something's going on. Definitely.
- Of course. - Totally.
Gosh, you reporters never miss anything.
Why are you all so impatient?
Let's quench our thirst first. Cheers.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Hey. - Okay.
Print, TV, and online.
There's a reason I only invited you three.
I'm trying to be fair, so please don't fight.
You can all make exclusive reports.
Thank you.
I heard that reporters love scoops more than food.
Your eyes are all shining.
This is not the right place to read it.
Read it tomorrow at work and discuss it with your boss.
All right, let's drink.
Tonight, forget everything and just drink!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- That feels nice. - It tastes sweet.
Hold on a second.
I'd like to take a photo before applying for a retrial.
- That sounds good. - Sure.
- Gather around. - Come here.
All right. Here we go.
(The Osung Trucker Murder Retrial Application)
Sam Soo, your face...
What? What's wrong?
You're glaring. You look like a gangster.
Put on a smile.
Hey. Gosh, let me see.
They all look good. What are you talking about?
Take one more.
Okay. Let's take one more.
- Sure. Put on a little smile. - Okay.
Smile.
Here we go. 1, 2, 3.
- All right. This looks good. - All right.
Oh, aren't you Mr. Park Tae Yong?
- What you're doing is amazing. - Thank you.
Is it okay if I take a picture of you?
- Just a second. - We could take one together.
Just me?
- Can we take one together? - Can we take one together?
Let's do that.
Thank you.
- Thank you. - I'll take one too.
I'll take one more.
Du Shik, what's wrong? Everything's going so well.
Hey, apologize to him.
What? A gangster?
- Right? - I'm sorry.
Don't worry. It's fine.
If we're done, I'll get going.
Okay.
Du Shik.
What's wrong with him? He looks unhappy.
Captain, I've written up a complaint against Lee Jae Sung.
Oh, right. Lee Jae Sung. Why aren't they investigating yet?
Let's go to the police station right now.
Let's slow down a little.
What are you talking about? We're finally gaining momentum.
I'm just worried about my junior officers.
Since Joon Seok left like that,
something's been bothering me.
Also, even though the NFS results are so clear,
the prosecution and police are quiet. Something's fishy.
- Thank you. - Sure.
Have a nice day.
Hey, are you having a fan meet here?
Don't forget Jo Ki Soo.
Why is the prosecution sitting back?
Considering the Samjung three-man murder,
don't you think the situation is unnatural?
This is the first National Gathering of Judges.
I worked hard to hold this event.
Make sure Chief Justice doesn't feel uncomfortable.
As you all probably know,
the Samjung three-man murder retrial result...
disappointed Chief Justice greatly.
This time, we have to do better!
- Okay! - Okay!
Still, is this really necessary?
Mr. Heo, it's just one day.
You need to atone for how the last retrial turned out.
- Here he comes! - Jo Ki Soo!
- Chief Justice Jo Ki Soo! - Chief Justice Jo Ki Soo!
- We love you, Chief Justice! - We love you, Chief Justice!
- Jo Ki Soo! - Thank you for this.
- Jo Ki Soo, the best judge! - Jo Ki Soo, the best judge!
Oh, my.
- Jo Ki Soo! - Jo Ki Soo!
I apologize for what happened lately.
Oh, my. Mr. Heo.
Let me serve you properly this time.
Please.
My goodness. This is unnecessary.
Oh, my.
- We love you, Chief Justice! - We love you, Chief Justice!
- Jo Ki Soo! - Jo Ki Soo!
- Thank you so much. - Jo Ki Soo!
- Jo Ki Soo!
(Fair-skinned Jo Ki Soo)
Let's do this!
- Right? - That was amazing.
- Go! - You can do this!
- Let's do that. - Yes, sir.
(Our hope, Jo Ki Soo)
This is Presiding Judge Choi Dong Suk...
at Osung District Court.
I see.
You're a fast runner.
Do you work out regularly?
He's our ace.
He's excellent at both trials and sports.
He's good at everything.
That's incredible.
Would you like to have dinner with me later?
Can I really do that?
It's an honor, sir.
Thank you for doing this every time.
You don't have to thank me.
Oh, my.
Dad.
Hello. I'm Park Tae Yong.
I've heard a lot about you.
You're doing great things.
- You're too kind. - You've been on TV a lot.
Why don't you come inside and have some tea with us?
- I'd love to. - Let's go inside.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
For the new Supreme Court justice,
I'm thinking of recommending one of the chief judges.
Judge Heo has been regretting what happened at the recent retrial.
Judge Choi says...
he wants to show respect to you.
He went to change.
That's why he isn't here yet.
I apologize.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Don't worry. Have a seat here. I'll pour you one.
Yes, sir.
Well, to Judge Choi!
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Young Jun, it's me. - Uncle!
- Welcome, Mr. Park. - Hello.
Come here.
- Thank you. - Hello.
My wife told me that you often drive Yoo Kyung home,
so I've been meaning to invite you to dinner.
I should have introduced myself to you sooner.
All our neighbors admire...
your sense of justice.
You're making him uncomfortable.
I think I saw you in today's newspaper too.
Where did I put it?
Moving on.
Recently, Lawyer Park Tae Yong has become famous...
for proving the innocence of powerless people.
He has also been publishing articles online...
and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But he's recently been accused of violating the donation law...
by spending the donations inappropriately.
Here's an exclusive report from Reporter Kim Se Jong.
Lawyer Park Tae Yong and Reporter Park Sam Soo...
Last August, they received about 50,000 dollars in funding...
for the Samjung three-man murder.
They received donations from people, promising to use it...
for expenses for the trial and for the victims.
Where did this money go?
The trio received...
only 5,000 dollars each.
The most money went to the real killers,
Lee Cheol Gyu, Kim Won Bok, and victim Choi Young Sook.
Prosecution Service is investigating to see...
if Park Tae Yong bribed the real killers...
and victims to make them testify.
With SBC, this is Kim Se Jong reporting.
Bribing killers? What is this about?
Dad, that's not what happened.
With SBC, this is Kim Se Jong reporting.
Next on the news.
That's a misunderstanding.
It is.
Excuse me.
(Bum Jae)
Hey, you. I warned you, didn't I?
Park Tae Yong and Park Sam Soo are using you to make money.
They collected 500,000 dollars already.
Are you getting your cut?
What about my money?
Look. I don't know what you're thinking,
but we can explain everything.
What is it that you truly want?
What do you mean?
Do you think I'm some thug?
You have new clothes and new shoes.
You've changed a lot.
Darn it. This is insane.
Why do strange things always happen...
whenever I dress up and wear shoes?
Excuse us.
We're from the Prosecution Service.
Please stand up and step aside.
Step aside.
What are you doing? Step aside.
Step aside. Come out already.
- What are you doing? - Get them all.
Hey. You really are a pro at search warrants.
Get every little thing. Got it?
Okay!
Nice. My son-in-law really scored this time.
You're growing so quickly.
Thank you, sir.
I'm sorry. I should get going.
My apologies, sir.
Mr. Park.
Don't be too down. You can explain all of that.
I know. Thank you.
Good night.
I need to stop by the courthouse.
Yes, sir.
("Retrial Specialist Lawyer Suspected of Bribing Witnesses")
(Court)
Mr. Chief Justice?
- Who... - It's nice to meet you.
I'm Park Tae Yong.
(Delayed Justice)
I have nothing, so I have nothing to lose.
I'll show you something else.
If Park Tae Yong keeps digging into past events,
it'll be difficult for you to avoid being targeted.
Are you threatening me?
He's still flustered, right?
It'll hurt him because he couldn't manage petty cash.
There are people who don't let you do that which is only natural!
If we let them be,
we can't take a single step forward!
