THIS DRAMA IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH
ACTUAL PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, ASSOCIATIONS, OR LOCATIONS
The internal investigation is pretty serious.
The prosecution is very determined.
I need someone I can cast away whenever I want.
How do you feel to be a member of the golden empire?
What's there to ask? Let's get the best out of this place.
The D&T Case? We already prepared everything for that case.
-I guess you haven't heard. -Heard what?
A low-class lawyer who cleans up after jackasses is a team leader?
-The meeting will begin in two days. -Is that so?
-The last person... -Mr. Ga Gi-hyeok?
You can't persuade me.
-Maybe I should've considered her offer. -Hey!
Did this never occur to you?
You shouldn't have forgotten how our past could always be revealed.
And what were we exactly?
Two people in love.
We're very close to becoming a listed company.
Who'd do such a thing? For what reason?
Be careful. That world is certainly different.
Do I have more to lose?
Do you think the witness will meet her willingly?
-Hold on. -What business do you have with me?
The truth.
Gosh, you really are feisty.
No sufficient evidence?
-There's got to be more. -Why must I tell you that?
It looks like you should get busy.
EPISODE 7
Mr. Son Jin-su.
You're under arrest for the violation of the Personal Information Protection Act.
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.
What do you think you're doing? I'm Mr. Son's attorney.
Here's the warrant you people adore.
ARREST WARRANT
This is a warrant for search and seizure.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE WARRANT
-Search the place! -Yes, sir.
Don't worry too much and don't say anything.
Let's see.
It's me. Son Jin-su was just arrested.
They served a warrant!
Mr. Kim,
is there any other information
you handed over to the prosecution?
Other than the testimony you just repeated to me.
Why must I
tell you that?
Wait. Was Son Jin-su arrested?
It looks like
you should get busy.
You have my testimony to break
and whatever information I handed over to the prosecution
to figure out.
May I go now?
-Mr. Kim. -Ms. Jung.
If you ever
try to meet me again,
I'll report you to the prosecution for blackmailing me
to stop me from taking the witness stand.
Song & Kim is an amazing law firm.
People like me can't even dream of getting a consultation here.
On the other hand, Jin-su...
Actually,
it was Jin-su's money that hired you.
Okay then.
I'll see you in court.
What do you think?
Mr. Son said that Mr. Kim is trying to frame him.
He obviously wouldn't say he did it.
Don't you know whose side you're on?
The fact that they have Son Jin-su's arrest warrant
means they have conclusive evidence
that will support Kim Yeong-jun's testimony.
I guess we totally missed that.
Or your little talk with Park Hyeok-gwon
motivated him to get the arrest warrant faster than planned.
-Hey-- -I'm going to go to my office.
You go to the Prosecutor's Office.
Make sure you take good care of Son Jin-su.
Hey, Attorney Jung! Hey!
Damn it.
I can't believe she's giving me orders.
D&T CEO SON JIN-SU D&T CFO KIM YEONG-JUN
Kim Yeong-jun, the CFO of D&T, and one of the founding members.
And ever since he was in KAIST, he was known to be a genius.
But he suddenly got fired a year ago.
-Why? -Isn't it obvious?
He probably had a feud with Son Jin-su.
Don't make assumptions. I only want facts.
When start-up companies do well, it's natural for them to fight a lot.
The firm is about to get listed, so the employees won't say anything bad.
Meet the people who quit and ask them in person.
"In person"?
Don't just sit behind your desks and write documents.
Doing a lot of legwork doesn't guarantee any results.
Hello? Oh, okay.
Our request to review the legality for confinement got rejected.
They said he's a flight risk.
How far are we on the company listing?
It passed the preliminary assessment.
They're trying to figure out the demand to set the issue price.
But the offered price is decreasing.
It was 15,000 won per stock, but now, it's 12,000 won.
HEADLINE NEWS
Son Jin-su, the CEO of D&T,
which is known to be a fintech unicorn,
got arrested for having violated
-the Personal Information Protection Act. -Please say a word!
-How did this happen? -Do you have anything to say?
-Are you okay? How do you feel right now? -Please tell us.
I don't think they'll get listed.
The information that was leaked
-is directly related to finance... -I can't believe
the CEO of a start-up is on the main news.
The prosecution is purposely doing this.
Here is an interview done by Park Hyeok-gwon,
a senior prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
BRIEFING BY PROSECUTOR PARK
What? Prosecutor Park also did an interview?
The leak of D&T's customer information.
We will do our best to find out
-how the information got leaked -What a star.
-and will quickly -What are you going to do?
-find out the truth. -What's there to ask?
We will try to minimize any further damage...
Let's take it step by step.
Mr. Kim and Mr. Ga. I need you to do the legwork this time.
Meet everyone you can and find out
what happened between Son Jin-su and Kim Yeong-jun.
We need to find out what kind of conclusive evidence the prosecution has.
Ms. Boo, I want you and Mr. Na to find the prosecution's evidence list
and look over it thoroughly.
We need to find out what it is that we've missed.
-Mr. Yoon. -What should I do?
Should I get you a cup of coffee?
Let's go meet Mr. Song.
He's been asking for us.
What's going on?
Are they going to work together even after all that fuss?
It's an emergency.
It doesn't matter whose side we're on.
They're not the type to cooperate just because it's an emergency.
Forget it. Let's get going.
Are you serious? We're not investigators.
I mean, it's cold outside.
Let's get this straight. I don't mind working together.
But don't order us around as you please,
especially with me.
-If you do a good job. -"If you do a good job."
Your job was to investigate Son Jin-su.
You met him so many times as your client,
but you knew nothing about him.
You really are a bad judge of character.
I know!
-That's why I got fooled-- -I'm talking about people, not the law.
Especially criminal suits.
Who doesn't know that?
It looks like you don't.
Even after all that humiliation.
My gosh.
The prosecution announced that they've arrested Son Jin-su
for having illegally sold his customers' information
to an online video sharing site. The rapid growth of...
This has been on the news all day.
This is not
what I expected from you two.
It looks like you didn't gain anything from having met Prosecutor Park.
He only had circumstantial evidence then,
I even thought the case could get suspended.
-But you were wrong? -I apologize, sir.
This case is all about whom the judge is going to trust
between the witness and Son Jin-su.
The truth doesn't really matter.
What matters is how we make things look like the truth.
Let me emphasize this one more time.
Get him acquitted and have the company listed.
That's your mission.
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
If Son Jin-su ends up getting convicted...
I'm sure you know what will happen.
I don't care if you cooperate or not.
What matters to me is the result you bring.
-Okay, sir. -Okay, sir.
-Will you please stop it? -What did I do?
You're still here?
Do we really need to meet all those people?
This isn't what lawyers do.
At this point, it might be the best option.
-Ms. Jung is right. -My gosh.
Mr. Na, bring me the list of people who quit working at D&T.
Mr. Song, Chairman Son is waiting for you in the VIP room.
I'm sorry, sir.
It just shows how difficult it is to raise a child.
Look at Chairman Ha.
I guess we both got unlucky when it comes to children.
Who's the prosecutor in charge?
Prosecutor Kwon Yong-un.
He isn't that high in rank, so you wouldn't know him.
But his superior
is Senior Prosecutor Park Hyeok-gwon.
Park Hyeok-gwon?
That jerk used to get busy trying to help us
every time something happened to our group.
I guess that bastard really wants to go up a rank.
Unbelievable.
When a man goes over 50,
he tends to become desperate.
That fucking bastard!
How dare he mess with me?
Don't worry too much. We'll take care of it.
You better.
If not, our relationship won't be able to last.
This piece of art is amazing.
I wonder how much this costs.
It's a list of people who quit D&T.
-Why is the list so long? -Crazy working hours,
bad paycheck, and a fucked up boss.
There are lots of reasons why people decide to quit.
I know start-ups have a high turnover rate.
But this is way too much.
LIST OF EMPLOYEES WHO RESIGNED
I'm Ga Gi-hyeok from Song & Kim.
My name is Kim Chang-uk.
There was no work-life balance at all. We couldn't even go home.
It's hard to work there for a long time.
Everyone knows, but they're just keeping quiet.
Have you met Mr. Son?
He cusses at you, then he cheers you up,
and after a while, he cusses at you again.
I couldn't stand it.
I'd rather have someone beat me up.
But if you spread rumors, it becomes hard to get another job.
I'd rather have someone punch me. He treats people like...
It's even worse because he makes you blame yourself for everything.
He's the worst kind of boss ever.
-What do you call it again? -Gaslighting.
Yes, gaslighting.
It's a form of psychological abuse by manipulating someone.
It may not seem violent, but it's when someone
steals someone's self-esteem
and makes them blame themselves for the problem.
Yes, that's it.
Yes, I already knew that. What else?
It's a start-up company, so he used the company vision and value
as a tool to steal the employees' passion and knowledge.
Plus, it's a small industry,
and Son Jin-su has money and power, so they all just sucked it up.
Okay.
Good work.
There are about 100 people who quit from Son Jin-su's company.
There could be other reasons,
but I'm sure most of them quit
because they were mistreated by Son Jin-su.
Kim Yeong-jun's studio apartment
and that place where his mom lives...
Aren't they too modest for a person who used to be the CFO
of a successful start-up company?
He was one of the founding members.
And he even invented the company's core technology.
But he wasn't given adequate compensation.
On top of that, the CEO is a guy who cleverly mistreats his own employees.
Using Kim Yeong-jun's words, what if he was completely evil?
If he got fired from the company he started,
and he sees that company preparing to get listed,
it would piss him off, right?
That's why now is the perfect timing.
Do you even know what you're saying?
I'm telling you why Kim Yeong-jun decided to become a witness.
No, no.
You're telling me that Son Jin-su is guilty
and that he's capable of breaking the law.
You're not guilty just because you're a jerk.
What kind of nonsense...
Mr. Yoon, I think I found the key evidence.
It's his diary.
COPY OF KIM YEONG-JUN'S DIARY
It's Kim Yeong-jun's diary.
He's been writing it for the past four years.
It's a copy of the evidence that was handed in by the prosecution.
It says Son Jin-su ordered him to sell their customers' personal information.
He even wrote how their information was sold
and how they received cryptocurrency in return for payment.
This diary is so detailed.
It shows how much of a jerk Son Jin-su is.
There's nothing we can do.
So this is how they got the arrest warrant.
A solid witness and conclusive evidence.
I need to meet Mr. Son and talk to him in person.
At this rate,
-we'll lose the trial. -Mr. Yoon.
Take Mr. Na with you.
A HAPPY CORRECTION, A HAPPY PUBLIC
This is what the prosecution has.
It says when and where you sold your customers' information,
and it even says how much you received in return.
COPY OF KIM YEONG-JUN'S DIARY
Will you believe me if I say that I know
nothing about this?
When a person gaslights someone,
he or she wishes to gain power over the opponent
and manipulates that person however he or she wants.
You're not going to believe me.
Mr. Son.
The evidence is right here.
What about it?
I had nothing to do with what happened.
If a lawyer
can't even trust his own client,
what is that client supposed to do?
Pardon?
When someone seems to lack self-confidence and is full of mistakes,
he or she catches that
and repeatedly shows negative responses to the victim
and isolates the victim psychologically.
I'm telling the truth.
But if you keep doubting me like this,
who am I supposed to trust?
I trust and rely on you 100 percent.
Don't you think this has more to do with your incompetence at this point?
"Your behavior is what's causing the problem.
That person rarely gets angry, so you must've done something wrong."
That kind of stuff.
No one other than myself would accept this kind of nonsense.
You're totally mistaken
about the entire situation.
I'm sorry.
After countless manipulative behaviors, the victims start believing the assailant.
They slowly distrust their own emotions and thoughts
and fall into despair.
Do you
believe me now?
It doesn't matter
whether I believe you or not.
We just need to win the trial so you can get acquitted.
How can you do that when you don't even believe me?
Because that's my job.
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF LAW AND ORDER
I think he's telling the truth.
He doesn't look like a bad person.
The victims are all around your age.
He succeeded in making you feel guilty.
Then...
Then was I...
You were a guinea pig.
Why a year ago?
What?
They were doing fine up until then, so why last year?
I just don't get why Son Jin-su had to fire Kim Yeong-jun last year.
According to the diary, their customers' personal information was sold way back.
We should look into those who quit around that time.
-Make up a list and give it to me. -I...
Okay.
These people quit one year ago.
LIST OF EMPLOYEES WHO RESIGNED
But only this person's information was left blank.
Yu Seo-yeong.
She's dead.
She committed suicide.
Many employees think she killed herself because of Son Jin-su.
This won't do him any good.
YU SEO-YEONG
You show up way too often.
I wouldn't be here if you answered your phone.
What did Son Jin-su say?
Of course he said he doesn't know anything about it.
If he keeps saying he doesn't know,
he might just end up with a longer sentence.
Judges hate it when a defender doesn't show any signs of regret.
What's important is whom the judge decides to trust.
Son Jin-su or Kim Yeong-jun.
The prosecutor
will most definitely state the fact that Son Jin-su gaslighted his employees.
The judge will get affected by that.
So we need to emphasize that Son Jin-su's manipulative behavior
had nothing to do with this case.
The fact that he's an asshole
is irrelevant to the leak of personal information.
That will bring us back to square one.
Who do you think the judge will trust? The asshole or the victim?
Let's just be honest.
Let's just start out by admitting that Son Jin-su is a jerk.
Weren't you listening to me?
That will only support Kim Yeong-jun's statement.
It might seem like Kim Yeong-jun is trying to disclose Son Jin-su's behavior
as a representative of all the other staff who were mistreated by him.
That will be fatal.
Is that why?
So we can turn the tables?
Okay, listen up.
We're going to undermine Kim Yeong-jun's credibility during the trial.
Kim Yeong-jun was mentally abused by Son Jin-su while they worked together.
And the same happened to his coworkers.
According to the interviews done by Mr. Ga and Mr. Kim,
Kim Yeong-jun was a very kind colleague.
Then other than his own problems,
the difficulties of his colleagues would've also upset him.
That's what we're going to interrogate.
But wouldn't that be disadvantageous to Son Jin-su?
Son Jin-ju's personality and behavior could become a problem in this case.
He wrote that he was mistreated by Son Jin-su.
He also wrote in his diary
that he hated him like crazy for being so evil and mean.
Think about what he could do.
Because he hates Son Jin-su so much,
he could be lying about what happened to frame him for everything.
But how can they tell if he's telling the truth or not?
Even we don't know.
The truth doesn't matter
as long as the judge doubts him,
thinking that he really could be lying.
What about the evidence?
Kim Yeong-jun's diary, the key evidence.
If we undermine Kim Yeong-jun's credibility,
the credibility of his diary
will naturally decrease as well.
The judge needs to think that Son Jin-su might not have sold
his customers' personal information.
If he doesn't believe that Son Jin-su did it,
then Son Jin-su won't be found guilty.
The problem is that diary.
Kim Yeong-jun is weird.
How could he keep such a meticulous diary for so many years?
It's weird, right?
Why didn't he record anything?
He used to be very close with Son Jin-su.
If Son Jin-su really asked him to sell their customers' information,
why didn't he record that?
It's way easier than writing a diary for four years.
Let's say I'm the prosecutor.
And let's say you said that as an attorney.
"As a gaslighting victim,
it would've been hard for him to think about recording a conversation
between him and the person he always obeys.
And this diary includes Kim Yeong-jun's personal life as well.
So it wasn't falsely written to accuse Son Jin-su."
That's what I would say to crush you.
You should
do the argument.
The judge will trust you more. You are the best at Song & Kim.
After all, this is all about
who gains the judge's trust.
Do you also
trust me?
YU SEO-YEONG
YU SEO-YEONG WHY DID SHE COMMIT SUICIDE?
YU SEO-YEONG
But only this person's information was left blank.
Yu Seo-yeong.
She's dead.
She committed suicide.
Yu Seo-yeong lived alone in a studio apartment.
Someone else moved in after she died by suicide.
Her parents are farmers.
Seo-yeong did very well in school.
After she got into KAIST,
she said she was starting a business with a friend from school.
When I heard that, I was so proud of her.
Kim Yeong-jun, right? The friend from KAIST.
Yes, that's right.
Did you not know anything about your daughter's situation
at work?
Seo-yeong
never said anything about work
even when she was visiting us for the holidays.
This will...
You chose not to disclose it back then, right?
We're not like you people.
We don't even know how such things are done.
You didn't even take it up with the company.
After your daughter,
who made you so proud, left this and took her own life.
I noticed on my way here
that you built a new cattle shed.
You've probably been growing crops on someone else's land.
How did you suddenly get the money to build the cattle shed?
Well, that's...
You're right.
I am different from you.
I can track your bank account details
and find out who sent you the money right away.
I told you we shouldn't accept the money.
Gosh, this is...
It's not...
Is it from the company?
Because she's already dead anyway, and those who are alive
must move on with their lives?
Don't you dare say things like that. You don't know anything!
You probably don't want to admit it, but that's the truth.
Those who are alive must live.
Did Mr. Son Jin-su visit you himself?
No.
Kim Yeong-jun came by.
He seemed devastated.
He said even he couldn't stop it.
He said he wanted to help us.
That's why...
That's why we accepted the money.
I see.
I want you to believe that.
That way, you can feel a little less guilty.
Ms. Jung.
These are her belongings we found at her apartment.
I don't know
why you came to see us and what you want from us.
But just go through them
and find out why Seo-yeong...
Please find out why Seo-yeong decided to kill herself.
AWARD CERTIFICATE
-This is completely busted. -But you can restore the data on it.
Restore all the data no matter what. I don't have time.
Take it to the National Forensic Service, then.
They specialize in digital forensics.
How much?
I got it from the prosecutors' assistants who manage evidence.
I had to go through so many steps.
I'll be fired if this gets caught.
I noticed a few gaps among the four years' worth of diary entries
submitted by the prosecution.
You think it was intentional?
Perhaps. Or maybe the prosecution just didn't think they were important.
Which part?
After Yu Seo-yeong's death.
Do you think you can win today?
You see, this case...
It's not really about Son Jin-su.
Think that it's about Chairman Son,
who is our VVIP.
Yes, sir.
I can win.
-Did he restore the data? -Yes.
Korea sure is an IT powerhouse.
Let's start with the recordings from 2019.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, that one.
How much time until the trial?
It'll begin shortly.
-Let's head over there. -Okay.
ATTORNEY YOON HEE-JAE
Hey, it's me.
I'm on my way now.
I have
faith in you now.
All right.
Drive safely.
WITNESS
At first,
Mr. Son didn't take it seriously.
I think he started it just for fun.
One of his friends
ran a porn site.
But after selling it once,
he realized how lucrative it can be.
That's when it all started.
He got me on the gig, and I started managing it hands-on.
But I'm sure you knew that it's illegal.
Whether I knew it or not,
there was no way I could get out of it.
He kept saying it's all on me
and that I must do as I'm told unless I'm a moron.
Prosecutor.
And Your Honor.
He must've thought he could walk all over me.
That's why I wanted to show him what can happen when someone,
whom he considered a doormat, musters up enough courage.
That is why I'm here.
That crazy bastard.
Your Honor.
We often see this type of deliberate psychological manipulation
where the victim is made to question his or her own judgment.
It's called gaslighting.
Let's look at evidence number one.
It's Kim Yeong-jun's diary.
Every entry illustrates the details of how Son Jin-su got him
to sell the customer's information to the company
as well as the details about the cryptocurrency payments he received.
I rest my case.
Defense, you may cross-examine the witness.
Mr. Kim, what was your annual salary?
I earned 36 million won the year I left the company.
Then your after-tax income must've been around 31.8 million won.
But weren't you the CFO of the company at the time?
Yes, I was.
If that's how much the CFO made,
other employees probably made peanuts.
DEFENDANT
You're one of the founding members.
You must've thought it was very unfair.
When I first joined the company,
I only made 700,000 won a month.
Working 12 hours a day was a given.
And even now, the employees have to work all night every single day.
There was no salary negotiation.
I'd say that's considered exploitation of labor.
Correct. No one has even signed an employment contract,
but he says employees are like family.
He's an evil bastard.
"Evil bastard."
It must've been very difficult to put up with him.
I had
such a hard time.
Because you were having such a hard time,
you must've been willing
to do anything and everything to sabotage him.
-Sorry? -Your Honor.
The defense is making groundless speculation.
Answer my question. I bet you actually hated Mr. Son.
Weren't you tormented
because of everyone who suffered because of him, including yourself?
Right.
I was tormented.
Had I been able to...
Had I been able to kill him,
I would've done so, with my own two hands.
If that was an option.
Right, you could have. As they say, think outside the box.
This is your diary, right? Written by you.
Correct.
We don't have any recordings whatsoever
that prove Mr. Son actually gave you such orders,
which means
the credibility of this evidence relies solely on your statements.
Earlier, you called him
an evil bastard
and said you wanted to kill him.
Then you must've been willing to do anything
to put him behind bars.
No, I'm not lying.
DEFENSE COUNSEL
-You left the company a year ago, right? -Yes.
Then why now?
It sounds like the stress was unbearable.
Why didn't you do this back then? Why now?
Your Honor.
The defense is bringing up a completely unrelated topic to create confusion.
DEFENSE COUNSEL
Isn't it all because D&T is about to go public?
Aren't you making all this up
to stop that at all costs?
Why?
Because you can't stand him. You absolutely hate him.
I'm not making it up! This diary only contains facts.
He ordered me to sell our customers' personal information!
Your Honor.
The defense is trying to make the witness seem less credible
by emphasizing that he dislikes Mr. Son.
Also, we've already confirmed with other employees
that everything written in his diary actually took place.
Evidence number five
lists all the statements made by the employees.
Q: THEN IS EVERYTHING IN HIS DIARY TRUE?
Defense, do you have other evidence?
Other than insisting that he's lying.
Your Honor, Attorney Jung Geum-ja
will take over from here on.
JUNG GEUM-JA
Your Honor.
The key is whether or not we can trust the witness' statements
and the diary entries, which was supposedly written by him.
If his statements and the evidence were manipulated in any way,
both he, as a witness, and the evidence will lose credibility.
That is up to me to decide.
I hope you're not saying you'll accept statements and evidence
that might've been manipulated.
Defense, stop talking nonsense.
Just make your argument already.
And show us the new evidence.
Yes, Your Honor. I hereby submit the new piece of evidence.
-Your Honor, the defense-- -Submit it at once!
I'm just going to prove the unreliability of the evidence
and the statements made by the witness.
You said you misappropriated the information as per Mr. Son's order.
-As written in-- -All right.
Please play the recording.
It was all your doing.
Why the heck did you do that?
Seo-yeong.
Don't be like this.
I thought you'd understand me.
The male voice in this recording
is that of the witness, Kim Yeong-jun.
I poured my soul into this company.
You think I trusted that rich spoiled brat?
I had no choice though.
We worked day and night to invent this technology,
but to show it to the world,
I had to join forces with Son Jin-su, that asshole.
What did I get in return though?
The company is growing by the second, but my annual salary is 30 million won.
How's that fair?
Still,
how can you steal personal information?
How can you sell that?
How can one even consider it?
No one will look out for me but myself.
He doesn't even know what cryptocurrency is.
Do you know how much I made?
It's 4.5 billion won so far.
Your Honor, this recording is a fake.
-It has been fabricated. -Mr. Kim, sit down.
You can't prove that it was me.
Mr. Kim, sit down!
Don't worry, Mr. Kim.
You want proof that the voice belonged to you?
Well, the prosecution will soon confirm it.
This conversation took place
at the studio apartment of Yu Seo-yeong, D&T's founding member.
Date? March 15, last year.
It was a day before Ms. Yu left a note and committed suicide
because of her corrupt company.
Let's check the entry in Kim Yeong-jun's diary then.
It's not in evidence
because the prosecution disclosed a copy without that date's entry.
Your Honor, you may verify the original later.
This is just the copy.
Let's check that day's entry then.
After working in the office that day,
he went home
and watched a movie alone.
He drank four cans of beer and ordered a pizza.
The name of the movie was written down. It aired on a cable channel.
No matter how much you stare at it,
there's nothing about
going to Ms. Yu's place or meeting her
for that matter.
Mr. Kim,
I bet you just want me to stop talking.
Your Honor,
what I wish to reveal today is this.
It's the fact that this diary
could've easily been fabricated to fit Mr. Kim's story.
Also, his claim about taking orders from Son Jin-su
to leak the personal information of their clients could also be false.
Apart from Mr. Kim's diary,
the prosecution hasn't presented any evidence
that links my client to the crime.
Mr. Kim's diary entries and his statements
aren't 100 percent true.
Therefore, they can't prove
that the defendant committed a crime.
DEFENDANT
Your Honor,
I rest my case.
MAPO PORK RIND
How do you think he'll rule?
The key evidence and witness statement
can't be fully trusted now.
Kim Yeong-jun, out. Son Jin-su, safe?
I can't believe that Ms. Jung tracked down Yu Seo-yeong.
Son Jin-su didn't mention her since she could hurt his case.
-The woman in the recording? -Yes.
Kim Yeong-jun's junior who committed suicide?
It's a relief that she was able to find that recording though.
If not, it could have...
Now I get why Ms. Jung's name was written down as co-counsel.
They were hoping for a Hail Mary.
Only we were in the dark.
I can't believe those two weasels.
How do you think Ms. Jung found that diary entry which wasn't
presented by the prosecution?
I'm sure Ms. Jung pulled something out of her sleeve.
Honestly, I don't even want to know.
Oddly enough, I could relate to Kim Yeong-jun.
He must've felt extremely wronged.
Of course both Son Jin-su and Kim Yeong-jun are bad though.
Lawyers can't do their jobs if they get emotionally attached to clients.
Cases won't seem to be over.
Exactly. Anyway, this is why you should never
-go into business with someone else. -Of course.
Is there anything other than pork rind?
Ask that after you've tried one.
Here. Dip it in the bean powder.
He's right. It's delicious.
DOG
Yu Seo-yeong threatened you.
She led the technical development team
while you were the CFO.
You went to see her,
but you weren't able to persuade her.
She wouldn't turn a blind eye to your crime.
So what did you say to her?
She had developed a technology,
but you threatened her by saying that you'd make it seem
like it had a grave error.
You even added that the company would sue her for damages.
It was you
who crushed her phone.
You're still young, Mr. Kim.
Stealing personal information? That's three years tops.
Start over.
You'll be done with Son Jin-su.
Don't ever come at him again.
We won't
allow it.
-What's this about-- -I deeply apologize
to the clients who invested in D&T.
I am publicly announcing
that the leakage of personal information was the act of only our CFO.
D&T is also a victim in this case,
but we will take responsibility
and compensate the other victims.
Our CFO was once part of the D&T family
which is why I am not pressing
any criminal charges or filing a civil complaint.
-Son Jin-su's letting this slide? -What's going on?
I understand
that I am responsible
for the conduct of my people.
You will soon get out of here.
Exactly.
Ms. Jung, this must be why Mr. Song recommended you.
Once you get out, hold a press conference.
You must apologize from the bottom of your heart.
Tears will help.
That is the only way your company gets the chance to go public.
What if I sue Kim Yeong-jun instead?
Isn't that better?
It was all his doing.
He cost me the reputation of my company.
How about the entry and exit records?
Then he didn't leave the country.
Then why haven't we tracked him down yet?
Find him as soon as possible.
I don't care how much it'll cost. Let's settle.
Hurry. We don't have time.
You knew, didn't you?
The cryptocurrency.
Why did you let that be?
Was it too good to pass up?
I only fired Kim Yeong-jun
because he didn't know his place.
Oh, please. 4.5 billion won is nothing.
He just kept on challenging me.
How dare he.
Mr. Son,
Kim Yeong-jun will face multiple charges anyway.
So stop trampling on him.
Kim Yeong-jun...
Don't go after him.
Got it?
You've used him enough already.
Anyway, this is how you move on.
You know,
you keep growing on me.
Why don't you leave Song & Kim and work with me?
Gain more power first
because what you have now isn't even worth considering.
I hold myself accountable for what happened
and everyone at company
will do our best
to make sure that nothing like this happens again.
I'm sorry. I truly am.
SON JIN-SU OF D&T APOLOGIZES ON HIS KNEES
I'm sorry.
THAT'S HOW A CEO SHOULD BE, SO COOL
HE'S ONLY PUTTING ON A SHOW
The public reaction isn't bad.
Going public is a different matter though. Management responsibilities must follow.
We'll change directions.
Let's rebrand the company's image by merging with a social enterprise
and appoint a co-CEO.
We're in the homestretch now, so let's keep up the energy.
-Sure thing. -Got it.

D&T FINTECH GROUP GOES PUBLIC
D&T went public, sir.
-What? -The Son Jin-su Case.
Unbelievable.
Ms. Kim, over here!
-It's been a while. -Long time no see.
You have no idea how much we've been wishing to see you.
Why? I'm sure Mr. Song is doing a good job.
We're glad you're here.
D&T CASE SUMMARY
D&T CASE SUMMARY SON JIN-SU'S ARREST
Is Ms. Jung Geum-ja the newest addition to Team H?
Yes, ma'am.
-I like her. -Look how she is.
She could stomp all over you.
Is that so?
The meeting's soon, right?
-I'm telling you. They're scary people. -Shut up, will you?
Here's what I like about you.
You're like a sharp sword. You make me want to use you all the time.
They've become members of Team H without even knowing about it.
A team that exists but doesn't exist at the same time.
He's been released. Early release, as a model inmate.
It's a true blessing and commendation.
I guess that's how memories are. They're that dreadful.
I came all the way here because I wanted to see you.
If you need to, use me.
All right. I'll use you then.
