(Episode 15)
I knew it was you.
I've been looking for you for a long time.
Who are you?
I said who are you?
You're going to die here anyways, so tell me.
Who are you working for?
Tell me why you killed my brother!
You crazy jerk!
(Hae Young)
You're looking at that again.
When are you planning to tell Han Mu Young?
I don't know.
Weren't you going to tell him...
once Yoon Seon Woo's case gets cleared up?
Inspector Park.
What if...
the case I'm investigating,
which I believe is only right to dig up until the very bottom,
only ends up hurting the person I cherish the most?
How do you think you'd feel?
Well...
I may regret it, but I'd still think that I did the right thing.
It's our job to reveal the truth.
But if...
the person you so dearly cherished ended up dying,
and you eventually find out that it was because of you,
wouldn't it make you feel terrible?
There are some scars...
that never heal.
They may never recover from it.
But...
do you think you'll be able to do that?
Will you be able to run away because you're scared to get hurt?
It's just the way of life.
You can only end a fight after getting beaten up...
until you're able to understand everything.
- Sung Shik. - My gosh, you startled me.
What are you doing here?
And why didn't you answer my calls and visit the site yesterday?
If you find out about what I had to go through yesterday...
I saw everything through the articles.
My gosh, you're really photogenic.
The way you were lying down on the floor...
seemed like a sea turtle that just came ashore.
- What? - Forget it. Don't even bother.
My gosh.
Hey.
You asked me this once, didn't you?
You asked if I'd choose a scoop, or if I'd choose my conscience.
Why don't you answer that question?
Let's say the company's offering you to become a full-time employee.
But in order to do that, you need to write a false article.
That's the condition.
What kind of absurd condition is that?
Regardless. The world's complicated,
so you might come across such a situation.
So what would you choose if it were you?
You'd still want to become a full-time employee, right?
I'm sure you would.
Sung Shik.
There are some people in this world that don't have to take a stance,
but I believe that we must not be like them.
- What? - Why would I have become...
a journalist if I was just going to act like a poor person?
- What? - We need to take a stand.
Although we don't get paid a lot,
don't have time to wash up, and live a hectic life,
we still shouldn't write false articles. That's our position.
Look at Mr. Lee.
He even looks cool even when he wears a pair of flip-flops.
My gosh, how does that look cool?
Fine.
He is quite handsome. But...
I'm 3cm taller than him.
There are some things in life that you can't fulfill with your height.
How dare she try to lecture me?
My gosh.
Yes.
I'm human because I make mistakes.
Let's get scolded when I can.
But I should still protect my pride.
Suk...
Suk Min.
About that article that's planned to be released tomorrow...
I'll write it myself.
Is this the conclusion you came up with?
Sorry?
Yes.
You don't want to quit your job?
Must I really do that?
Just hit me instead.
Just hit me until you feel better.
I'll be honest with you.
I hate sycophants like you who do everything they can...
just to become successful.
I don't want to stand next to you, let alone hit you.
You're not a journalist or a human being until I say so.
Okay?
But I'm glad you came back before it's too late.
You'll start getting treated like a human being one day.
Call me once you're done with writing the article.
You can write the article with the laptop...
that's inside the drawer.
What? Why...
What?
- Why... - What?
What?
Just do as your team manger tells you to do!
My gosh.
You don't know...
anything at all.
You know absolutely nothing.
Is he crying?
What's going on? Why is he so serious?
I don't know.
My gosh.
Hey, Ji Won.
I noticed last night that you're quite feisty.
What did you do before you started working here?
I don't exactly understand what you mean.
Why? Don't you want to tell me?
Do you have a dark past?
I'm equivalent to a gentle herbivore.
It's not like me at all to have a dark past.
Hey.
You can tell me that you don't want to talk about it.
Saying that you're gentle...
is like saying that Lionel Messi... doesn't know how to play soccer.
Are you saying...
someone reported that Lieutenant Jeon purposely...
hid the CCTV footage?
- Yes. - Maybe it's because you're...
a journalist. No, a media jackal, but you know a lot, don't you?
Aren't I right? If you were in your right mind,
you would've notified the investigative authority first.
Thanks to you, now we don't have any way to find that footage.
There might be clues who the real culprit might be.
Don't you feel you're responsible for this?
If that's what you want to discuss, let's discuss it later.
Anyway, did you find out the cause of death for Lieutenant Jeon?
Cause of death?
The autopsy report hasn't come out yet?
Goodness.
Do you think autopsies are done for everyone?
He died in a car accident. What else do we need for cause of death?
What if it wasn't an accident, but an incident?
Hey, look. Just because we are willing to listen to you,
you can't just say whatever you want.
You are a journalist from Aeguk Newspaper.
The suspicion of abetting suicide hasn't been cleared.
As soon as you're discharged, you'll be investigated. Did you know that?
Hey, calm down. Don't get all worked up. Okay?
But was there evidence that made you think that it was a murder?
Did you witness anything during the accident?
No.
I didn't witness anything.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
I lost consciousness. I don't remember anything.
Where's the video?
I searched the house, but I didn't find anything.
Okay.
I'll report that for now.
I will need you again soon.
The word is that he's coming back from China soon.
That's right. It's Nam Kang Myung.
Is his return feasible?
Of course it's not.
If it weren't for him, there was no reason...
to kill Seo Chung Soo or frame Yoon Seon Woo.
That's why I will need you.
All right. Don't think about that.
We will come up with a plan, and you will execute it.
Keep this in mind.
We are happiest when we can only do the things...
that we are instructed to do.
Welcome back, ma'am.
Thank you.
By the way, I can spot you right away wherever you are.
You're garnering all the attention.
I'm sick of you complimenting my beauty. Change your act.
Talking about what's so obvious isn't right.
We need to distant ourselves from familiar things.
Did my lines lack creativity?
By the way, did anyone try...
to pry into my life while I was gone?
A rumor circulated...
that you were seeing a guy in China.
I told everyone that you were on your vacation.
You know how professional I am.
Security is everything.
So what happened with the thing you went to China for?
It's confirmed true that Nam Kang Myung was spotted in Shanghai.
It seems like he went on a trip all over China.
But there's no trace of him in Chengdu.
Chengdu?
Isn't that where his ex-wife departed to?
That's right. He got in contact with a cardiologist.
However, as you all know, his disease...
can be only treated in Korea.
That means...
It's time for him to come back to Korea now.
To us, it means we finally have a chance to nail him.
(Jeon Chan Su)
(Im Ji Tae)
(Kwon So Ra, prosecutor)
(Yoon Seon Woo, Seo Chung Soo)
(Nam Kang Myung)
Five years ago, Chairman Min who exposed his bribery,
got in touch with the black curtain that's been controlling Korea.
Nam Kang Myung siphoned one billion dollars from the taxes.
And it's my conclusion that Nam Kang Myung was the middleman...
who gave the money to the black curtain.
They must've thought they fooled the world with the dementia card.
However, let's show them that some of us haven't forgotten about him.
We are going to go all the way to this pyramid this time.
(Special Investigation Office)
Chief Prosecutor Cha, where are you going with that?
I'm going to Deputy Manager to give a souvenir.
Since I lied that I went on a trip,
I have to play the part all the way.
Why? What is it? Is there something wrong?
No, there isn't.
I just thought you might be going to cut our enemy's throat.
Anyway, you asked me how Yoon Seon Woo's retrial is going.
Yes, I did.
I think there are some problems after he committed suicide.
Kwon So Ra is the finishing touch of the problems.
Why?
Well... She gave the subpoena to Chief Prosecutor Im...
who was in charge of his first trial.
What?
Goodness. She hasn't changed.
She still lacks insight and is dumb.
So what is that small-minded Im Ji Tae doing now?
So why did you let this happen in the first place?
Why did you let this retrial take place?
There's nothing I can say.
The police intentionally excluded the evidence.
But I believed that...
the governmental officials would still be at least conscientious.
Be quiet. Before you tarnish the prosecution's reputation,
cooperate with Kwon So Ra.
And make sure that the press never criticizes us ever again.
Cooperate with her?
Oh, no. District Attorney, but still.
No one in history of prosecution has summoned...
the previous prosecutor in charge as a testifier.
Even Daehan Newspaper is siding with Yoon Seon Woo.
You can't be stubborn right now.
Say that you don't have anything to hide, so you will cooperate.
Tell that to the public.
Goodness. This is driving me crazy.
(Prosecutor Kwon So Ra)
At that time, there was traces that fingerprints were wiped.
Only the suspect, Yoon Seon Woo's fingerprints remained.
Didn't you think it was odd?
I don't remember.
I only investigated based on the findings of the police.
According to the forensic result of the scene, another individual's...
bloodstain was found other than Yoo Seon Woo and the victim's.
Oh, my. I don't remember anything.
I only investigated based on the findings of the police.
Are you stating that you never thought...
that there would be another suspect?
Goodness. I can't remember anything.
Anyway, I only investigated based on the findings of the police.
When he was transferred, there were bruises on Yoon Seon Woo's face.
I'm sure you didn't check if the police had used excessive force...
during their investigation, did you?
I don't remember.
I only investigated based on the findings of the police.
I'm sorry, but what's your name?
I don't remember. I only investigated...
I'm sorry, Chief Prosecutor Im.
Since you didn't remember anything,
I thought I would need a warrant to ask your name.
Kwon So Ra, are you going to keep this up?
In order to protect justice,
I complied with your ridiculous subpoena.
No one in Korea has the right to harass a sitting prosecutor...
without any evidence.
"You can fabricate evidence, can't you?"
"Our job is to make it possible for someone to get indicted."
You said so yourself, Chief Prosecutor.
What? You little... How dare you say that to your superior?
Who helped you the most to get to where you are? Who is it?
You can't even think straight since being a hero...
is all that's in your mind.
You're right.
I received a lot of support from you to get to where I am now.
I stayed loyal to you as well.
I thought that it was the right way.
- But why? - But because of that,
you must've gotten the wrong idea.
That my loyalty does not go beyond the law.
Forget it. Let's stop it here.
Just because I went along with your ridiculous game,
you must have lost your senses.
Look. I'm going to make exactly two calls.
The first call will be made to straighten out...
this ridiculous situation.
The second call will be to your dad...
who thought he was above the law since you are a prosecutor.
Let's see who wins this battle.
Chief Prosecutor Im, what's your relationship with...
Director Gu Tae Won of Daehan Newspaper?
I have a very interesting story for you.
You should hear this before you leave.
Six years ago, Director Gu got sued for defamation...
because he had written a malicious article.
But I noticed that he got indicted...
even though his charges were very clear.
The prosecutor in charge of that case...
was you,
and Noah defended his case.
What's your point?
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not,
but every case that these three parties were involved in...
ended with very strange conclusions.
It was if there was some kind of a deal going on.
Was Yoon Seon Woo's case...
also a part of that deal, sir?
My gosh, you should know when to stop.
Go ahead and keep denying it.
I've never seen a criminal...
admit to his or her crime.
Are you seriously trying to fight me?
Yes.
I'm planning to fight you until I can.
So you should try your best to endure it.
I'm not going to avoid this anymore.
Okay.
The nurse told me that there was a big scene.
Is that true?
My gosh, you're so foolish and hopeless.
You have no one to take care of you. You have to take care of yourself.
Why are you living so recklessly like this?
It's none of your business.
You're right. It's not my business.
But I couldn't stop myself from worrying about you.
I was really worried.
Don't you believe me?
But is it okay to be...
a journalist like you?
You ignore all kinds of procedures.
And your actions are all based on getting revenge.
Is it really okay to be like that?
"Revenge"?
What are you talking about?
While investigating Park Eung Mo's case, I found this...
among one of the victim's belongings.
(Crime Site Photos of Incheon EM Holdings' Warehouse)
(Hae Young)
I heard that...
you were looking for a guy with this tattoo.
Is he the person who killed your brother?
How...
Did you...
know everything from the start?
I thought a lot about...
what this could mean.
But even if I find the answer to that,
I felt like your scars would still remain the same.
And I also thought I might be using your thirst for revenge...
just so I can solve my case.
But we're facing a hidden case,
and there are victims who got murdered because it.
If you and I are the only ones who can solve that case,
it's only right for us to do so.
We might just end up getting broken inside and out,
but do you want to give it a try?
Would you like to join me and see...
what's at the end of this road?
Are you sure you won't regret your decision?
You may be Han Chul Ho's younger brother,
but you're also Han Mu Young.
You might end up...
losing your identity.
I may regret it,
but I need to end this...
in order to get my life back. No.
I can only believe and wish for that to happen.
The only choice I have left...
is to get to...
the very bottom of this.
Before that,
there's something you need to do for me.
Please allow an autopsy to be done on Lieutenant Jeon's corpse.
- What? - He...
came to us that day.
He wanted to kill Lieutenant Jeon and make it seem like an accident.
He also wanted to get rid of the CCTV footage.
What do you mean?
He injected something into Lieutenant Jeon's neck.
You'll be able to find out what that was once you do an autopsy.
I can't trust the cops.
You...
need to do it for me.
Inspector Park.
Please give orders for Lieutenant Jeon's corpse to be preserved.
Do you like the food?
You can't eat here without making a reservation.
Please tell me why you wished to see me.
I'll need to hear what you want...
in order to see if I can do that for you or not.
What should we do about this situation?
My gosh, Kwon So Ra is killing me.
I should've kept control over her a bit more.
She suddenly asked me about you and Noah.
She hit me right where it hurts.
I told you numerous times that our relationship must be kept a secret.
I'm really not impressed about your competence.
Blood keeps splattering all over the place.
What? That's...
You don't need to act surprised.
As soon as you exit this room,
you'll be sent to the disciplinary committee anyway.
So you should spare your acting for then.
Director Gu.
No, wait. I think you might have to meet a judge first.
When the heir of Younggwang Group committed murder,
they bribed you and got him acquitted.
It'll definitely become a very serious problem.
Sir, just tell me one thing.
Are you trying to let go of our relationship,
or do you have some kind of plan in mind?
Jesus told us to...
forgive our enemies.
Who am I...
to disobey him?
Loyalty.
How does that sound?
Sorry?
We've been making deals until now,
but I'm saying we should change the essence of our relationship.
From now on,
I'd like you to become...
a blind man with open eyes now.
I'd like you to show me unquestioned loyalty...
when I need you to show me.
Then...
will we be able to take care of Kwon So Ra?
And will you be able to cover up...
everything I did until now?
Your problems have now become my own.
What are you worried about?
Let me pour you a glass.
You can be at ease.
I'll take care of it...
for you.
(Episode 16 will air shortly.)
