(This drama is based on real-life events.)
(Incidents, names, and places have been altered for the drama.)
Please show them what a real prosecutor is like...
and enter the political world.
I'll give you the justification.
Strive for greatness.
(Jungwoongil Village)
Attorney Park,
are you threatening me right now?
Who'd ever threaten a prosecutor?
If I dig into this case, my father-in-law will get hurt.
What if I can't do this?
Then...
you'll be hit as well.
Are you warning me right now?
Jang Yoon Suk, the prosecutor who's even fair to his family.
Your road to success opens when you open this case.
But you can't do that because he's your father-in-law?
It's too heartless to mess with my own family.
Let's go on our own ways, then.
(Jungwoongil Village)
You can at least give me some time to think.
I can't wait for too long.
I'll give you a call.
Don't you jump on this too quickly.
(I miss you!)
(Ha Mi Soon)
Darn it.
Park Tae Yong, that punk. Does he think...
he can walk all over me because I worked with him once?
(Certification of Employment)
My ignorant father-in-law... Seriously.
(Detailed Transactions)
(Episode 20)
What happened? You were so confident.
But he didn't give you an answer?
Either Kang Chul Woo goes down alone,
or he goes down with him.
I doubt Jang Yoon Suk would choose the latter.
What if they work together...
- and choose to survive together? - You're right.
Maybe we were baited by Yoon Suk to show our hand.
We have to make him work with us.
Nothing happens automatically.
I know, but...
Let's do as we've always done.
We won all those retrials that everyone said we'd lose.
Let's not waver. Let's gather more witnesses and evidence.
So... I looked through the list that Ms. Kim Mi Young gave us.
(List of Teachers to Inspect)
22 of them are related to politicians,
and 17 to people in law.
The rest are related to owners of corporations.
It's news in itself...
that so many children of high-profile people...
are at one school.
Hey. Why didn't you show this to us sooner?
I'll look more into the manipulated employment rates.
I'll meet the parents too.
We won't stop at worker's comp.
We'll hold the school accountable for Seung Taek's death.
We'll face off against the foundation in court.
It'll be tough, but let's try harder.
("Park Tae Yong Accuses Court of Backdoor Dealings")
I didn't know there was a parent as bold as you at this school.
That's a pretty discriminatory remark.
What class is your child in?
Is that important?
You're not even letting them eat. You're violating...
not only their rights to learn but also their human rights.
Park Tae Yong and Park Sam Soo really did come here?
Then we have to find out who called them!
I think I know.
If we want to figure out what they're after,
we should be discreet.
Fine. I'll leave it all to you, Mr. Heo.
Yes, ma'am.
Park Tae Yong is in a trial,
and Sam Soo is home. I just confirmed it.
You were mistaken.
Ms. Gu. May I have a word?
Yes, sir.
You met with a parent recently, didn't you?
Which parent do you mean?
He's tall, has double eyelids...
He said his child was starting next semester.
Yes. I did meet with a father.
Okay. I understand.
Yes, sir.
May I help you?
Hello. I'm a parent.
Which student in which grade?
Well...
My child...
plans to come here in the upcoming school year.
What should we do today?
This school sends students...
to dangerous jobs in order to get rewards for high employment rates,
and the kids get hurt and die.
You said you wanted to change this school, right?
- Yes. - If you know kids...
working somewhere different from their certificate of employment...
There's a lot.
Taking down banners, call centers, and deliveries.
Those kids probably don't know...
they're being used for the school's profit.
Persuade them...
to get a copy of their certificate of employment on the same day.
- And then? - We'll show the people...
in charge of the school to explain themselves.
Fine. If we send a group chat and talk to them in person,
it'll be easy to find out.
- Persuade as many as you can. - Okay.
We'll put an end to this for good this time.
Okay. We'll go right now.
Okay, let's go!
Is Sang Bin here?
There he is. Sang Bin!
Hello.
I'm Park Sam Soo. I'm a reporter.
Yoo Bin from Seungwoon Tech lives here, correct?
Yoo Bin died three years ago.
Please leave.
I was sent on practical training...
to somewhere I shouldn't have been just like Yoo Bin, and got hurt.
I'm so sorry.
It's all my fault.
My baby.
I did this to you.
She was a high school senior there on practical training,
but the company demanded she get 20 new members every day.
She was rebuked if she didn't get them.
She couldn't come home.
The stress must have been unbearable.
She was such a cheerful child.
But she spoke less and less once she started her training,
the joy of life left her face.
She had to beg people on the phone to join...
all day long at work.
She was scolded by her supervisor for not getting the numbers.
Eventually, she jumped from the roof of her company after two months.
She chose death herself, so we can't blame anyone.
Yoo Bin didn't fall.
The world pushed her.
You don't have to physically push her to be responsible.
They drove an 18-year-old student over the edge of the cliff.
Still, whom could we blame?
Sir. You can't blame yourself and suffer in misery...
and do nothing like this.
Would Yoo Bin be happy to see you drink all the time like this?
What about her mom? You have to take care of her.
The school forced Yoo Bin into a toxic company...
in order to get their employment rate up.
We're all alone. What could we...
possibly do?
Ma'am. You have me. You have Yoo Bin's junior here.
The students and teachers must fight together.
I'm sorry, sir.
You need to live again.
Come in.
Mr. Park. Our side just grew.
She's Kim Eun Ji, homeroom teacher of the Electronics seniors.
I'm Lim Ji Young. I'm a math teacher.
Hello, I'm Park Tae Yong.
I've kept silent because I was sure...
the school would never change.
But seeing Ms. Gu and the students taking action...
made me feel ashamed.
Yes. Nothing changed...
because we did nothing.
We'll help you, sir.
This is a list of students who died while at practical training...
over the past 10 years and the employer names.
I work in the office that arranges the training with companies.
We were having a hard time because there was nothing in the news.
Thank you.
Mr. Park. We heard something strange...
about Seung Taek's death.
We haven't told anyone yet.
Well...
Why did Yoon Suk lie about Park Tae Yong...
and Park Sam Soo going to the school?
I don't know what he's thinking.
Darn it. It's giving me a headache.
I brought a dead man into our family,
and he wants to destroy us?
Did you want to see me, Father?
Yoon Suk.
- Yes, sir. - Just because I make silly jokes,
do you think I'm silly?
Of course, not.
Look me in the eye.
The political world is much scarier than the jungles in Africa.
Betrayals are as prevalent as air.
Do you think I became the mayor of Seoul...
and have the highest poll ratings for free?
It was through your skills and hard work.
That is why the Prosecution Service must protect you.
You warned me...
to be careful of articles.
Mr. Kim. Tell him.
Hi, Tae Yong, my best friend.
Are we still allies?
How long have you been allies with Park Tae Yong?
I used him to retrieve your file...
and arrested Kim Hyung Choon.
So?
Are you two coming after me now?
I need to know what moves he plans to make...
so that I can protect you.
(Seungwoon Academy)
Park Tae Yong plans to attack you...
with a case about a student...
from Seungwoon Tech who died at a bus stop.
What do you mean?
Gosh, what a headache.
If this matter isn't dealt with cautiously,
what would happen to you?
Mr. Yoon, how is it going with the dead boy, Um Seung Taek?
Can we cover it up?
Yes, but with the Office of Education, school,
and courier company involved,
- if this gets out... - Didn't you hear me?
Can we clean it up or not?
Well, of course, we should.
It can be done.
You're the strongest presidential candidate,
the rising power.
Who would protect you, if not the prosecution?
The prosecution always goes after the sun going down,
never someone on their side.
Betrayal is everywhere in the political world.
If I don't protect you, as your family, who would?
Do you trust my loyalty now?
Mr. Heo made you two...
drink with the higher-ups from the Office of Education?
Yes, we thought it was an ordinary team dinner.
It was humiliating.
It hadn't even been a week since Seung Taek died.
Mr. Heo, why are we having a team dinner so suddenly?
You have to do more than studying to become employed permanently.
What? What do you mean?
- Hello. - Oh, come on in, Mr. Heo.
This is Mr. Lee Geum Man, CEO of Yongchun Delivery.
This is Mr. Yang Jin Seok from the Office of Education.
He's the head of the vocational education department.
Our temporary teachers have been looking forward to meeting you.
Come here and have a seat.
Ms. Kim, sit over there. Ms. Lim, over here.
A student died while training,
and an official from the Office of Education, the principal,
and the CEO got together and had fun, drinking and laughing?
Celebrating winning the prize money?
The sound of their laughter still makes me shudder.
Our school's employment rate couldn't have been fabricated...
without help from the Office of Education.
That's right. The Office of Education won a reward...
for coming in first as well.
They knew the numbers were fake but looked the other way...
to win money.
Meanwhile, our students were getting injured and dying...
at dangerous workplaces.
I'll put things right.
When they should be feeling guilty,
those education officials were drinking and celebrating?
I'm going to put an end to this!
Mr. Park.
Sorry, I got carried away.
Also, there's another important piece of evidence...
in the Education-Industry Collaboration Office.
Another?
(Seungwoon Academy)
Get up.
Thank you.
I'll leave the school matters to you then.
Keep me updated.
I will.
There's a teacher called Heo Seong Yun.
He's my cousin, so I'm trusting him with many tasks.
Talk to him.
Heo Seong Yun?
Thanks.
We should all work together for Father to become the president.
Seeing the parents...
blaming themselves for their child's death...
really breaks my heart.
Many kids choose to go to a technical high school...
to help their parents.
I went to a technical high school because I needed money too.
- You did? - Yes.
Me too.
I've been living with my mom since elementary school.
She worked all the time and couldn't come home often.
What did she do?
She works as a wallpaper hanger at construction sites.
When she works somewhere far away, she can't come home at night.
I was often home alone.
You must have been very lonely.
I was happy when Mom didn't have work and stayed home,
but then we ran out of money.
For us to survive,
Mom had to be away from home.
That's not easy.
I chose to go to a technical high school...
so I could be with her more.
As soon as I start making 1,500 dollars a month,
Mom could be home half the month.
"'My Dream Is Calling Me' by Um Seung Taek".
His dream was to make 1,200 dollars a month?
Did you give it some thought?
Mr. Park.
If you want a deal, bring me something appealing.
A million-dollar corruption case or something.
You want a deal over a technical high school student's death?
Do you mean...
a technical high school senior's death is trivial?
That's not what I mean.
Mr. Park, people these days want...
mandarins and abalone delivered to their door...
the day after they're harvested.
For someone to have fresh food for breakfast,
someone else has to work all night.
Isn't that obvious?
But it's not that simple.
A student died at work.
His life and family were destroyed.
People die at work all the time.
Someone somewhere can't go home today.
When I injured my fingers,
I wished my ring finger and pinky finger had been cut off...
instead of my index finger and middle finger...
that I use more often.
Wouldn't it be better if you didn't injure yourself at all?
But later, I thought...
it was best that it happened that way.
You get more compensation and a higher disability rating...
if your index or middle finger is injured.
And I could be with my mom longer.
When I told her that, she hit me.
She smacked me in the back so hard.
She said, "The world may be the same even without you,"
"but I can never live without you."
"You're the only reason..."
"I drag my tired body home at night."
I was hit in the back,
but it was my head and heart that ached.
You're her precious and adorable daughter.
That's when I realized that...
even I was...
important and needed in this world.
I feel really happy right now too.
I feel like I'm doing something...
important and needed.
No matter how well this matter is handled,
he's just one of the countless industrial accident victims.
Not even the CEO of the company is being held responsible.
Why are you going after a presidential candidate?
Do you think I'm doing this merely to get Mayor Kang?
"Merely"? He's a presidential candidate!
I'm doing this...
so that all kids can go home after work.
I want them to go home...
without dying or getting injured and be treated like human beings.
After all this time, you're still such a romantic.
Listen. Even with a new government,
private schools won't change.
Schools are even harder to change.
I guess I'll have to change them.
You only choose the most difficult tasks, don't you?
I know. I wonder why I'm always attracted to challenges.
I'm asking you to be a true prosecutor. Is that too much to ask?
Unlike you, I avoid challenges.
If you're not a romantic, can't you at least be ambitious?
If you're too cowardly for the task,
I'll have to be the one getting Mayor Kang.
The heart of the high-school grad People's Lawyer is...
is teeming with ambition.
Sure, good luck with that.
I won't go after you, by the way.
Why?
Instead, we'll compete properly in Jongno.
The prosecutor with no guts or ambition...
I'll crush you while everyone is watching.
Wouldn't that be more fun?
What's with the face? Are you already scared?
It hasn't even begun.
Nice to meet you all. I'm Reporter Park Sam Soo.
Mr. Park, I met with 20 kids who were forced to find work.
They had no idea that the school was making money by making them work.
Here's the list of the kids I talked to today.
This guy is from the robotics department...
and works for a small civil engineering company.
He was hanging a banner on a tall bridge without any safety equipment.
Doesn't the company rent a ladder truck or a crane?
No, they'd rather save a few 100 dollars a day.
They throw me a helmet and make me climb up the ladder.
That's dangerous.
Tell them you're not going to do it again.
A technical high school student doesn't have the power to.
This is my friend, and she doesn't get paid for overtime work.
I work in the customer service team of an insurance company.
They make us trainees deal with all the complaints.
Isn't that one of the most difficult tasks?
It's the worst.
After 6pm,
they turn off the computer that keeps track of our work hours.
Because they don't want to pay us.
I worked late today too.
Listen. My father won't go down.
Do you know why?
My father is the one...
who promoted all the high-ranking judges and prosecutors.
Once public attention subsides, he'll be released on bail.
I'm sure he will.
Let me tell you something.
Kang Chul Woo Files.
Jang Yoon Suk is trying to get it,
which is why he's attacking my father.
But do you think my father would have made a copy of it already?
Such innocent men they are, Kang Chul Woo and Jang Yoon Suk.
The first negotiation with Jang Yoon Suk is...
off the table.
Does that mean that all it did was to expose our plans to them?
Exposed?
No, I got him.
I really think I'm amazing.
How could I think of that?
Instead, we'll compete properly in Jongno.
The prosecutor with no guts or ambition...
I'll crush you while everyone is watching.
Wouldn't that be more fun?
He'll be up to the work because his pride is so big.
Attorney Park,
have you for sure decided that you'll be running for office?
No, I just said that...
to make Prosecutor Jang move.
No, just go for it.
Take over Jongno,
Enter the race, Mr. High-school-graduate lawyer.
Fly! Go for it!
You think this is like running for the class president in school?
If we work too fast, everything will fall apart.
We have to set the D-day and work around it now.
I feel so supported now that you have your own platform!
Goodness.
Okay!
All right, then.
My heart is pounding already.
We have to show them...
what real justice is.
We've confirmed that the school stole Seung Taek's compensation,
and the school district also turned a blind eye on the case.
The teachers have agreed to get all the forged employment records...
and seals.
I've convinced all of Da Young's friends as well.
They're going to get us their records on the same day.
Goodness!
You know, there's this thing called knocking!
Attorney Park, Sam Soo, do you know about the Kang Chul Woo Files,
which has evidence of his secret assets?
What's that?
Yoon Suk, Seungwoon Foundation is so corrupt.
If a kid died, they should've taken care of it!
Why would the school take the compensation money?
Who did?
Heo Seong Yun took 45,000 dollars.
And tens of thousands were spent on forging work experiences.
Why are most of their teachers politicians' children too?
Kim Hyung Choon had the file,
and Prosecutor Jang took it for his search and seizure.
I knew that Jang Yoon Suk's goal wasn't to get justice,
but to get those files!
But Kim Hyung Choon is no easy target.
He copied the files in advance and hid them in parts.
- Who has them? - Where?
I have a part of it.
I knew you would.
You did? You're indeed a professional.
My family can't just go down like that.
About the faculty who are children of powerful people.
Do the files show how they got hired as well?
I don't know, do they?
(Asset Status)
This is a portion of the Kang Chul Woo Files.
No way!
Jackpot!
This is amazing!
How did you get this?
Ms. Lee, you're the best!
This is just as I had predicted.
What?
A good reporter is born good!
You were born a good reporter!
Here's our plan for D-day.
With the proof of forged employment rate we got,
the files promised by the teachers,
and this, we'll get Mayor Kang.
We can change Seungwoon Technical High School!
What about next Wednesday?
That's when Mayor Kang is announcing his candidacy for presidency.
- That's perfect. - Absolutely perfect!
That's perfect!
- Hee Sung, - Yes?
can you stop it?
I will if I have to,
but Yoon Suk,
shouldn't the candidate change?
If I found out this much in just a few days...
Who would we change him for?
Lucky you, Prosecutor Yoon.
Why so?
You have the power to take the presidential candidate out,
and if not, you'll have dirt on the president.
Yoon Suk, I will always have your back.
The prosecution doesn't mess with people on our side.
Instead, we crush those who mess with us.
I know very well.
If these issues get exposed...
and my father-in-law still stands strong,
then we'll move for President Kang Chul Woo...
and be on his side.
That's how we're going to stay alive.
I'll keep that in mind.
(Seungwoon Technical High School)
It's you kids again?
I'm so sick of you all.
What are you a team?
(Education Department)
I found them!
I found the forged seals.
Seriously?
What are you doing here?
Hello, sir.
I'm just cleaning.
We can't just pass exams to become full-time teachers.
Contracted teachers must always...
move ahead of everyone.
That's what you taught us.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
You're safe, right?
Thank you, Da Young.
Mission success!
It's a success!
Yes!
- This is so exciting. - It's good to have a big team.
Any plans on what you'll be doing after this project?
Did I ever have plans?
I just ended up here somehow.
I have no plans.
Any reports?
No.
This is the last project we'll be working on together.
Why did you work with me?
I gave you nothing.
You wanted to make a world where justice is money.
I really believed you.
"In a world where money means justice,"
"we'll make money with justice."
How incredible does that sound?
If you have no money, you can at least be ambitious.
I still want to make a world like that.
Let me ask you something too.
Why aren't you talking about philanthropists anymore?
You've been so obsessed with the idea for so long.
Turns out,
my philanthropist is you, Sam Soo.
You were here all along. I was looking in all the wrong places.
Don't you say something so cheesy like that!
You know I can't do cheesy.
Mr. Park,
should we just keep working together?
On what?
A world in which justice is lucrative.
Let's work together to make it happen.
No thanks.
I'll keep my place at the bottom here.
You should go and run for office in Jongno.
I'm serious.
You should be in the parliament,
yelling, "Don't be like that!"
"Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?"
Fight for us there.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
I'll keep my place at the bottom.
You should...
soar high.
Remember how you cooked mackerel for me once?
If you took me to a high-end Japanese restaurant...
or served beef to me,
I wouldn't have come all the way here with you.
He's here.
Okay.
Hello.
- I'm here to hit some balls. - I'll get someone ready.
I'll pitch for you.
- What? - Remember her?
Right!
- It's the ball girl. - From last time.
I like how eager you are.
That's how you need to live life. Be eager.
Go.
Home run!
Hello!
- What? - Mayor Kang!
- Who's that? - It's been so long, Mayor Kang!
I'm Park Sam Soo.
Hey! Reporter Park!
You've changed so much.
No, I haven't. People don't change easily, after all.
Especially bad people.
What are you talking about?
What brings you here?
- You here to clean up dog poop? - Sorry?
There are no dogs around here.
Mayor Kang, I don't clean dog poop anymore.
I look for messes made by people now.
What do you mean?
Never mind.
Why don't I pitch for you? It's been a while.
- Sure, why not? - Okay.
Let me.
Here.
Here we go.
Yes!
Great one.
Mayor, what did you use all the money you stole...
from forging employment rates?
Are you out of your mind?
Sorry, seeing what can't be seen is what I do.
Mayor, let me ask...
officially as a reporter.
Getting 4.2 million dollars from forging employment rates,
stealing money from Seung Taek's compensation,
using contracted teachers to wine and dine higher-ups,
and hiring faculty members...
because they're the children of powerful people.
Did you direct all of this to happen?
I don't know. I won't tell even if I did, you punk!
How dare you ask such a question?
That's what reporters are for!
Shut up!
I heard that a private school is better than a diamond mine.
You've been paying faculty members to keep their mouths shut, right?
Like how you were trying to buy me and Attorney Park?
Park Sam Soo! Are you crazy?
It's driving you crazy that there are people...
who you can't manipulate with money, isn't it?
You!
You better get ready to die!
Yes, of course.
I'm also good at dog fights.
The mouths that you shut with money?
Attorney Park and I have opened them all.
Hundreds are on our side.
Such nonsense!
We'll show you what happens when the people you shut up...
start speaking the truth...
and change the world together.
Just watch.
You'll be surprised!
Mr. Park, are you really that good at dog fights?
I have nothing to lose, so I just go for it.
Don't feel lost. Just be honest.
A smart brain can't beat a strong body.
Attorney Park told me this.
I don't know how to talk cool like that.
Don't feel lost. Just be honest.
I'll do what I can too.
Hello.
Let's all meet up at school this Wednesday.
Let's get our work records then.
(Let's all meet up at school this Wednesday.)
(Mayor Kang's Announcement to Run for Presidency)
- Kang Chul Woo! - Kang Chul Woo!
Dear fellow citizens,
I'm standing here today with the same burning passion...
that I had while looking for oil in scorching Africa.
To build a country as strong as myself...
and a country that's hopeful for those living in it,
I have decided to run...
for the presidential election.
(Mayor Kang's Announcement to Run for Presidency)
- Kang Chul Woo! For President! - Kang Chul Woo! For President!
(Who bought Seung Taek's dreams?)
Da Young, good luck.
(Who bought Seung Taek's dreams?)
What do you think you're doing?
Ms. Gu, what are you doing?
- Da Young! - Da Young!
(The buried death of a student from a technical high school)
What?
- Hey. - Are you guys crazy?
Get back to your class!
Good luck!
You're not moving?
- Now? - Okay.
Kwi Hyun, Mayor Kang is announcing his candidacy, right?
Start posting!
Okay!
No dating among teachers...
and no honeymoon during the term.
I'm releasing these first.
("Dating? Honeymoon? Don't Even Dream of It.")
- Kang Chul Woo! - Kang Chul Woo!
As an expert in economics,
I promise to make...
a million proper jobs!
I will break the barrier between full-time and contract workers.
I will make justice in workplaces!
Kang Chul Woo! For...
There they are.
Contracted teachers, are you not watching your students?
I refuse to take your unjust order.
I refuse as well.
You'll regret it later, all right?
Hello.
We did it.
(Administrations Office)
What's this? What are you kids doing?
I'm here to get my employment records.
I suddenly wonder where I'm employed.
What's up with everyone today?
Ma'am!
- Hello. - Hello.
Seung Taek's friends are all here.
I'll start the show now.
Kwi Hyun, ready for the show?
Okay. I'm ready. Start now.
(Live streaming is connecting.)
Start the show!
Today,
Mayor Kang has announced his candidacy for presidency,
and meanwhile, students at Seungwoon Technical High School...
are protesting in front of the school.
Last November,
a student named Um Seung Taek, was doing his apprenticeship...
at a delivery company when he died.
Students are claiming that the school is...
hiding the truth behind his death.
Publish the second article.
"Kang Chul Woo's Foundation Used Contracted Teachers..."
"to Wine and Dine Higher-ups in the Office of Education."
Publish that!
Okay, here goes the second one. I'm posting it.
("Kang Chul Woo's Foundation Entertained Office of Education")
First, we'll speak with the students who are protesting.
Tech students have nothing to learn at a delivery company.
We don't even have contracts with those companies.
The school is illegally sending students...
to dangerous and difficult workplaces...
to increase their employment rates.
This is a certificate of employment fabricated by the school...
as she just described.
It says that Um Seung Taek worked...
at Mingang Industries, not at a delivery company.
Mingang Industries is a fake company that does not exist.
Um Seung Taek's grandmother came to the school to protest.
Bring back my grandson Seung Taek!
How could you entertain them at a bar...
after killing Seung Taek?
Hey. Close the gate.
Hey! Hey!
- Why are you closing it? - Stop it!
- Stop that! - Hey!
Stop!
Hey!
I'm Park Tae Yong, her attorney.
As the legal guardian of a student, she requests a meeting...
with you, the chairman, and the principal.
- Open the gate. - Open the gate!
Why are you closing it?
- Close it. - Open it!
- Go in. - Stop!
Why are you closing the gate?
This is wrong!
You sent me to an insurance company, but what? Yangchun Industries?
Why does it say I work for them?
I tried calling, and that company doesn't exist.
What's this?
This is our school.
Open the gate!
Why are you keeping his grandmother out?
Enough already. Open the gate!
Open the gate!
- Open it! - Open the gate!
- Open it! - Open it!
Open it!
- Close it! - Open the gate!
- Open the gate! - Open the gate!
With my experience of looking after 10 million citizens,
I am confident that I can make...
all 50 million citizens of Korea wealthy!
- Open the gate! - Open the gate!
- Open the gate! - Okay. Excuse me.
Let's go.
Let's post the final article.
Let's take this to the end!
(Live: Uncovering Seungwoon Foundation's Corruption)
Sam Soo. This is so moving.
(Share)
Okay, here goes the last one.
("Tech Student Dies of Fatigue, Grandma Waits at Home")
Everyone, you know that these accusations about me...
are complete and utter lies, right?
These are all lies.
I swear that I've always led an honest life.
These are all lies.
What are you so ashamed of...
that you evade this old woman?
Granny. The school did nothing wrong.
How could you come here?
Is the school really blameless in Seung Taek's death?
Seriously.
You're a school.
How could a school lie?
Why can't you say anything?
Principal Lee.
- Please tell us. - Tell us.
- Please tell us. - Please.
- Please tell us. - Tell us.
- Please. - Tell us.
- Please tell us. - Tell us.
- Tell us. - Principal Lee.
- Please tell us. - Principal Lee.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
It's my fault.
I'm sorry.
Chae Eun. The people won't watch my candidacy announcement video.
They're only watching some video about Seungwoon Tech.
Do something about this.
Can't you hear my ratings drop?
Father, why...
All... All of this...
was ordered by the foundation.
- When did the foundation... - You ordered me...
to push the students out to wherever I can. Did you forget?
These company seals are all fake.
The employment rates were fabricated for the past 10 years.
Ms. Kang. Don't you feel sorry to my Seung Taek at all?
I know nothing about this.
Ma'am. You can't do this here.
What has the school been doing?
Can a school do this to its students?
Do you know how many times she came here?
You always shut the door on her!
We have proof. Will you keep lying?
You've been using us to make money.
And some of us died and got hurt.
How long do you plan to lie?
(Certification of Employment)
Did you order the fabrication of Seungwoon Tech's employment rate?
How did you use the rewards adding to 4.2 million dollars...
that you received with those fake rates?
Did you know they made teachers serve drinks...
to people from the Office of Education?
Is all of this true?
- How long... - Sir.
- Apologize! - Apologize!
I'm sorry.
- Apologize! - Apologize!
I admit all the wrong that I've done.
I will step down from all my roles in the school and foundation.
Wait!
Mr. Heo Seong Yun.
Apologize to the late Seung Taek and his grandmother.
I apologize, ma'am.
I was wrong. Please forgive me.
Okay, okay!
Principal Lee. Promise the students...
you'll prevent this from happening again.
I'm sorry.
I apologize to the students and the teachers.
I will run this school democratically...
and safely from now on.
I'm sorry.
- Promise us! - Promise us!
The people are going crazy.
The most trending search terms are Seungwoon Tech,
Kang Chul Woo's corruption, Um Seung Taek,
and fabricated employment rate.
It's taken over everything.
Okay. It's the prosecutors' turn.
What? What do you mean?
Darn it.
You still can't read the signs.
Hey. Mayor Kang Chul Woo is finished.
Seungwoon Technical High School,
Office of Education, the mayor's office in City Hall.
Search them all.
Yes, sir. We'll crush the setting sun Kang Chul Woo.
We must take the lead...
before Park Tae Yong claims it all.
Get moving.
Yes, sir.
Hang in there.
- Thanks. - Hang in there.
- Be strong. - Hang in there.
- You were great. - Thank you.
Now that I finally got to say everything that I've wanted to say,
I feel like a burden has been lifted.
Thank you for all that you did. Especially with your bad leg.
I'll do my best to win the case.
My gosh. Thank you.
Okay, then. Everyone. Teachers. Students.
You did a great deed today.
Thank you for what you did.
All of you are the stars!
Wait a second!
The best reporter. Park Sam Soo.
- Park Sam Soo! - Park Sam Soo!
- Park Sam Soo! - Okay, everyone!
All of you changed the school.
Please make it a good school going forward.
Everyone.
Thank you.
You can do it!
- We can do it! - We can do it!
- Park Tae Yong! - Park Tae Yong!
Thank you.
We will end our live broadcast here.
I will be back with even better articles.
Finally, we'll take a selfie with the students.
- Let's go. - Get in.
Get in.
- Make sure everyone fits. - Okay.
- Let's do this! - 1, 2, 3!
First of all, I apologize on behalf of my family member...
for his wrongdoing.
I promise that the investigation will be thorough and impartial.
Kang Chul Woo, Mayor of Seoul, will be arrested and charged...
with violating...
the Political Fund Law and Private School Law...
as well as embezzlement.
They won't open it.
Let's go another way.
Seungwoon University's bribery scandal will also be...
thoroughly investigated...
to stop the family members of high-ranking officials...
from finding employment by unlawful means.
Oh, my goodness.
Welcome, true journalists...
who brought down the presidential candidate!
I'm so proud of you.
Have a seat.
Dig in.
"After arresting Kang Chul Woo, Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk becomes..."
"the most popular presidential candidate."
"Lawyer Park Tae Yong announces his candidacy..."
"in Jongno."
Mr. Moon.
Please eat.
The two journalists who are...
behind the strongest presidential candidate are right in front of me.
How could I be eating?
Calm down and take a deep breath.
Why don't you guys come back to News and New?
We have an office building now too.
Are we crazy? Why would we go back there?
Then how about this?
Let my company take over yours.
For how much?
How about a million dollars?
What are you doing?
- Let's sign a contract. - Great.
Sam Soo.
Didn't you hear him? It's a million dollars!
Have you ever even seen a million dollars?
But we started the company...
to write good articles without being affected by money and power.
I wouldn't sell it even for a million dollars.
Hey! Yoo Kyung!
What?
Come in.
Mr. Jang Tae Joon asked me to thank you...
for your decision to run in Jongno.
He also promised that the party will do everything they can to help you.
I'll do my best.
Mr. Jang has been fighting a lonely fight so far.
Please be his partner in changing the world.
Now that you've brought down Mayor Kang,
are you ready to get Prosecutor Jang as well?
I'm more than ready. You can trust me.
A million dollars.
My million dollars. I can't stop thinking about it.
After cleaning up dog poop for Kang Chul Woo,
I got kicked out of the four gates.
After taking down Kang Chul Woo,
I'm cleaning up cow poop.
I can't believe this.
Darn it.
Here we go.
Gosh, seriously.
There's poop everywhere!
- Gosh, you startled me. - I knew you'd be regretting it.
What? Me?
I never regret anything.
You've come all the way here, but this is all I've got.
What's wrong about ramyeon? It tastes great.
I'll treat you to some nice food when I get paid.
For now, have this and go after Jang Yoon Suk.
Okay.
Mr. Park, do you think it's a good idea...
for me to enter into politics?
Why are you asking that?
Will I be able to keep working for powerless people?
I'm worried if I'll regret my decision later.
If that's what you're worried about,
I'm sure you'll do well.
I'm trusting you completely for the first time ever.
Maybe I should just keep working with you.
Here, low on the ground. Rolling in the dirt with fellow losers.
Do you really not understand how I feel?
You don't seem to understand how I feel either.
I mean... I just...
want to keep working with you, that's why.
Not high up there, but here, low on the ground.
Rolling in the dirt with fellow losers.
I'll be protecting the people down here. You should go up.
You know I'm good at cleaning up poop, right?
Hey, Park!
Are you slacking off?
- What's the matter, sir? - What are you doing over there?
A friend came by, so we're having some ramyeon.
- Hurry up and get back to work! - Okay!
You wouldn't have to do this if you'd taken the million dollars.
Some things are more important than money.
You know that, don't you?
(Ubyeon Village)
I'll give you three seconds...
to stop me.
3, 2, 1.
Come on.
Time's up.
If you let me stop you now,
you'll regret it later.
Go ahead and fly up.
Go now.
(Park Tae Yong)
(The People's Lawyer Takes On a New Challenge!)
- Right there. - It looks good.
- There you go. - Nice.
Mr. Park!
You got 32 percent. You came in second.
If he came in second, that means he'll lose in the election.
He has to come in first.
He'll get ahead soon as long as we help him.
Thank you.
I'll make sure your hard work pays off.
(Law Office of Park Tae Yong)
Well... I'm here to talk to Mr. Park Tae Yong.
Mr. Park is busy with his election campaign right now.
I'm afraid he can't help you.
This is such a shame. What should we do?
Mr. Park.
You must have traveled a long way. Please have a seat.
Thank you.
I was treated really unfairly.
I'm not sure if you'll believe it.
You're too good-looking to be feeding cows.
This is frustrating.
You're not dressed appropriately for a farm visit.
What is it now?
You own a newspaper. Shouldn't you be writing articles?
Will you just let me work?
(The People's Lawyer Takes On a New Challenge!)
Today is the last day of candidate registration. Where is he?
Is Mr. Park still not answering his phone?
- The person is unavailable... - No.
We can't reach him.
Have you heard of this?
The Yangseong serial murder case?
It's the country's most notorious case. Of course, I have.
The culprit was caught, right?
He's not the real culprit.
He spent 20 years in prison for something he didn't do.
Did you say 20 years? 20?
All the cops, prosecutors, and judges got promoted...
- after fabricating the case. - And?
Everyone's too afraid to take on the case.
Come on.
You're running in the election to set these things right.
I don't think anyone is up to the task except the Two Parks...
of Soocheon University.
You've already decided to run for election.
Just focus on what to do once you're elected.
This man spent 20 whole years in prison!
Don't you want to help this innocent man?
Are you not going to regret this?
For one last time, I'll give you three seconds.
3, 2, 1.
Time's up. I knew it.
It hasn't even begun, and you're already scared.
Gosh, I'll have to do it alone.
Bye, I'm leaving.
I'm leaving.
- Bye. - Wait.
See you later.
Park Tae Yong! Wait for me!
Wait for me!
Hey! Wait for me!
