Young Ju.
What is it?
Mr. Cha's heart transplant...
There's no record of his transplant,
let alone any records from the day Jin Woo donated his organs.
What?
The last day I saw Mr. Cha was on September 24,
the day before Jin Woo was declared brain dead.
According to immigration control, the day he left the country was...
two months from then, on November 25.
There were a total of eight heart transplants during that time.
But...
there are no records of Mr. Cha's transplant anywhere.
(Donor: Oh Jin Woo, Date of birth: March 24, 1992)
(Transplant Records, Oh Jin Woo)
You're right.
I think Jinjin fabricated their records.
According to the document,
a patient had the transplant surgery with Jin Woo's heart.
(Donor: Oh Jin Woo, Recipient: Choi Sung Hoon)
Yes, there was a patient named Choi Sung Hoon.
That's all fabricated.
What?
What does that mean?
The patient who received Jin Woo's heart is fake?
He received an organ transplant,
but there were no records of insurance claims.
So, I met with him in person and checked.
He never got a transplant.
That means...
I believe Jin Woo's heart...
went to Mr. Cha.
What...
How could this happen?
Director Yoo Jung Sook.
- Director Yoo? - Yes.
She must have used Jin Woo to save her son, Mr. Cha.
Knowing that Jin Woo was her husband's illegitimate child,
she ordered Jung Woo No...
to surveil Jin Woo all these years.
Because brothers are more likely to have greater histocompatibility,
making Jin Woo a better donor?
All the pieces are coming together now.
I need to catch Jung Woo No and put him behind bars first.
I need you to request a warrant.
Oh Jin Sung.
Okay. Don't get so worked up. Calm down. Okay?
My heart donor...
is Mr. Oh Jin Woo, right?
(Woo No)
Hey, Woo No. Are you busy?
Gosh.
I need to talk to you about something.
No. I'll meet you at your house.
It's the same passcode, right?
Okay.
I'll wait for you in your house.
Okay.
(Planning and Policy Team, Director's Office)
What's this about?
Mr. Jung Woo No is inside, right?
Let me pass through.
- Do you have an appointment? - No.
Then I'm afraid you can't.
Please come back after setting up an appointment.
It won't take long. Just step aside.
- You can't go inside. - Why can't I go in?
I told you I had to talk to him. It won't even take long.
You can't go in, sir.
There he is.
Hey, Mr. Jung. Will you spare me some time for a talk?
What's this about?
There are more things...
I must check with you regarding Oh Jin Woo's case.
I guess our last meeting wasn't sufficient enough for you.
Then, starting now,
I will ask you to go through the proper channels.
Go through...
the proper channels?
You're ridiculous.
Do you think you deserve such treatment?
Do you?
If you make another scene,
I will follow the hospital protocol and take care of it accordingly.
What?
This won't be easy.
Perhaps,
we may end up fighting the mighty Goliath.
Oh Jin Sung.
Okay. Don't get so worked up. Calm down. Okay?
Fine.
I'll go through the proper channels and come back on official business.
You just wait.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I had to take care of an important matter.
Woo No.
Do you remember that day?
It was the first picnic we had together...
after you had visited our house for the first time.
Of course. I remember that.
Gosh.
- Are you happy? - Yes.
Woo No! over there! I want to go there!
- Over there? - Yes.
Okay.
That day, I realized...
that I had gotten a steadfast ally...
even though you weren't my biological family.
After some time passed,
I found out what happened as I matured.
You were on the verge of death. And the person who saved you...
was my mother.
Just like how you shielded me from the scorching sun,
you provided shade for my mother as long as I could remember.
That was what I had to do.
I can understand that.
But...
I don't agree with this.
You must have wanted to find the missing piece,
but it was too late...
because Detective Oh had already gotten it the next day.
But why...
didn't you buy the missing piece?
And why...
didn't you throw out the remaining piece?
That's because...
Director Yoo had given them to me as a present...
to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our 1st meeting.
Nothing could replace her present,
let alone throw out the remaining piece.
To you, she's the definition of conviction and religion.
Young Woon.
Just think about one thing.
Director Yoo dedicated her entire life to saving you.
It was the noblest thing to do as a mother.
And I have respected her determination.
The special task force has already obtained a lot of evidence.
It won't be easy to get away from this.
I'm not afraid of that.
I will take this with me.
What are you thinking?
I thought...
my mother's thoughts mattered more to you than mine. Am I wrong?
Mother.
Did you know that my heart donor, Mr. Oh Jin Woo,
was my half-brother?
What do you mean?
Tell me the truth.
Mr. Oh Jin Woo was transferred to my hospital,
declared brain dead, and passed away.
All process was conducted logically and legally.
You were able to receive his heart because he was a match.
And it was a miraculous coincidence.
Mr. Oh's biological background didn't affect any of the process.
It had nothing to do with you.
Mother.
I received my brother's heart.
- How is that irrelevant? - From now on, you're not allowed...
to say "brother" in this house.
I'm not interested in Mr. Oh's biological background.
And I wasn't aware.
Were you really not aware?
Young Woon.
Even if I had known, I would've made the same decision.
Mother.
How could you be so cold-hearted?
Saving you is my top priority.
What must I do...
to be a warm-hearted mother instead of a cold-hearted mother?
A miracle had come to you.
Why?
Because I was desperate.
If you were that desperate and had nothing to hide,
why did you remove the record of my surgery?
Being desperate can't be an excuse for everything.
And it was definitely not a miracle.
The problem was that I was born with a heart defect.
Everyone faces misfortune.
But you just couldn't accept that, Mother.
You thought we had to be the exceptions.
And your arrogance caused this hideous crime.
No mother in the world commits crimes...
to save their child.
That's because other mothers can't overcome it.
But I could overcome it.
And I spent my entire life to make that happen.
You're not showing an ounce of remorse.
I was afraid of going to sleep...
because you might not have been alive the next morning.
Do you still think I should have let you die?
Yes.
You should've just left me to die.
Cha Young Woon, that's enough.
Father, you're just like Mother.
You didn't know he was my half-brother?
That's not going to get you out of this.
You were on board with stealing his heart!
Father.
Your other son was murdered because of me!
And I had no choice in this!
I had become an unscrupulous brother who stole his brother's life!
No, I had become an unscrupulous jerk. Okay?
So have you really saved my life?
Or have you actually killed me?
You must stop thinking that he was your brother.
Why?
Was it okay for him to die because he was an illegitimate child?
You're irresponsible and heartless. You disgust me!
Morals or conscience can't be more important than life.
You feel guilty...
only because you're alive.
When you were diagnosed with a congenital heart disease,
we were hopeful at first.
But at the age of 15, you began to experience angina.
So you underwent a coronary artery bypass graft.
But the side effects continued.
The surgery would have only bought you 15 years in the end.
That was a result I couldn't accept as your mother and a doctor.
You were only in your 20s back then.
Because your life was up to the deity and beyond my reach,
did you expect me to kneel...
and quietly pray for your life?
No. I had to change because,
as your mother and a doctor,
there was nothing I could do to fix you.
So...
I decided to challenge myself to the deity's power.
Once I decided to do that, I was willing to do anything...
as long as I could save your life.
So...
is that why...
It's cruel, but the value of people's lives isn't equal.
Unlike the others' lives, your life was undoubtedly worthy...
because you were meant to achieve greatness...
and fulfill more important responsibilities.
But why were you the one making that call?
Mother.
If you can't apologize and ask for foreignness,
you must at least make excuses. That's what humans do!
You're not the deity!
So what?
I did everything I could trying to save my dear son.
What's my crime?
Mother.
You incited a murder.
No one can dare punish me.
That includes you too.
You want to punish me?
That's not possible in Korea.
Whoever challenges me will have to pay for their action.
Mother.
Where's my mother...
I have known all my life?
This is me!
I have spent my entire life to save my son.
And this is me, your mother!
Did you know he was Young Woon's brother...
when you planned this?
Finding the best donor for Young Woon was my duty.
Nothing would have changed...
even if you were the best donor.
I don't need you to resent or criticize me right now.
You should be on your knees,
thanking me for saving your son's life.
What about Young Woon? He was deeply hurt.
I don't need him to understand me.
I've done what I had to do as his mother.
You need to focus on only one thing too.
Think about how Young Woon is still alive and breathing.
I think...
you wore these shoes when you were three.
Your mother...
hoped and wished anxiously every day...
that you'd grow to wear a bigger pair of shoes.
This is a trace of you,
but also of your mother's history.
Do you remember the morning...
you left for Woojin?
Mom?
- Are you all right? - Yes.
You should go and sleep more.
No.
I have to see Young Woon finish his breakfast.
Your mother...
can't sleep more than two hours a day.
She hasn't for a long time.
She has a habit...
of checking on you every two hours while you sleep.
She had it for over 20 years.
Father.
She's a doctor.
You know she didn't have to go that far.
First and foremost, she's a mother.
A mother who won't allow you to face any unexpected incidents.
That's what she is to you.
Young Woon.
You got this far by eating away at your mother's life.
You can't...
forget that.
(Young Ju)
Young Woon.
I don't know where to begin.
I get you're stuck in the middle and feel uncomfortable.
I think Jin Woo died...
because Director Yoo had it arranged...
so you could have his heart.
What about you?
Don't you feel uncomfortable?
Of course, I do.
But however I feel about it,
this is something we must face.
First, there's Jung Woo No.
Jung Woo No...
happened to be near Woojin...
on the day of Jin Woo's accident.
And a cuff link we identified to be his...
was found at Jin Woo's crime scene.
Just because you found his cuff link there...
doesn't guarantee he's the culprit.
And even if he was in Woojin,
it doesn't mean he harmed Jin Woo himself.
We must consider various possibilities.
Isn't that the due process?
Various possibilities?
Yes, we must consider them.
But you said you received your heart transplant...
the very day Jin Woo donated his organs.
Why is there no record of your surgery?
Regarding the patient who supposedly received Jin Woo's heart,
we have confirmed that he never had surgery.
So...
isn't your heart...
Jin Woo's?
If you interpret all of that differently,
it means you're no longer impartial.
So what?
What'll you do?
What do you mean?
The case will be forwarded, and prosecutors must prosecute.
Prosecutor? Who?
A prosecutor's greatest power isn't the right to indict.
It's the right not to.
- Young Woon. - I hope...
you don't get involved in this investigation.
It'll be hard to investigate and harder to indict.
You could even lose your job.
You might lose everything,
so you should just stay out of it.
It's almost impossible...
to punish your own family.
But I thought you'd be different.
Was I too naive?
If you thought so, that was fantasy.
You want to get to the bottom of this for Jin Woo.
This is...
just as much about my family too.
So what?
So you'll cover it up because it's about your family?
Because you have the power and authority to?
Young Ju.
You will...
have to choose one or the other.
Jin Woo or me.
But...
whatever choice you make,
we can't go back to when we were clueless.
This situation...
It's too cruel to us both, but this is...
When it's raining too hard, the best thing to do...
is to stand under the eaves.
I say that for your sake.
What?
Let's go out of town for a while.
My gosh.
You don't have the right to dictate my thoughts.
I decide what I do.
Do me just one thing.
I won't ask you to punish your family,
but you're the one who shouldn't do anything.
Don't do anything.
I mean that.
Young Ju.
You won't get your way.
As long as no one interferes.
You could get hurt.
If I back out in fear of that, I'll regret it forever.
We might...
lose each other for good.
It will be hard.
But it's going to hurt no matter what decision I make.
Because, as you said,
we can't go back to when we didn't know anything.
If I must suffer,
I want to do so without shame.
(Crazy Troublemaker)
Let's meet up.
Isn't this just wrong?
However crazy the world is,
it can't do this to our Jin Woo.
From the moment he was born to the day he died,
Jin Woo was only betrayed.
What kind of life is that?
Jin Sung.
Did fate ever do you a favor?
Compared to Jin Woo, I think I was lucky.
How typical of you.
I think I was attacked my whole life.
Young Ju.
You don't have to make the difficult decision.
I'll handle the rest.
Pretend you don't know anything.
Why does everyone want me to do nothing?
If I don't do anything,
will someone magically appear to prosecute?
We need someone brave enough to go after Jinjin Group...
and its successor, Cha Young Woon.
Do you think there's such a person?
If I don't do something, our Jin Woo...
His wrongful death will be buried forever.
Troublemaker.
I was never born to be Cinderella.
Bring Jung Woo No in for questioning.
I'll back you up.
See?
I'm lucky.
You still have it, Ko Young Ju.
Jung Woo No!
Can I help you?
Are you off to work?
Go.
Let's look around.
What's this about?
You're under arrest for suspicion...
of murdering Oh Jin Woo.
Do you have a warrant?
Do you know no warrant is needed...
for the search done within 24 hours of an exigent arrest?
You have the right to remain silent,
and what you say can and will be used against you in the court.
You have the right to a lawyer,
and when questioned, they can answer for you.
If you can't hire a representation,
a public defender will be assigned.
Do you understand the rights I just told you?
I've waited a long time for this.
It was you.
Sir.
You deliver his meals too?
Gosh, cheonggukjang for breakfast. That smells great.
Your team leader is too busy with business to eat.
(Seocho Police Station)
An exigent arrest after applying for a warrant?
He's a flight risk.
Please cooperate.
This is yours, isn't it?
It's the same design as a pair I once had.
- And now? - I lost it.
Where?
It was long ago. I don't remember.
I'm sure you don't.
Because you already destroyed the other one.
He actually said he lost it.
Even special forces men flounder when cornered.
"It's lost, I don't know, and I don't remember."
That's the suspect trifecta.
The staff from this store said...
Director Yoo Jung Sook bought it for you as a gift.
Was it a gift?
Yes.
September 22, 2022.
You said you were at Mangpo Port.
Yes.
But by some strange occurrence,
this cuff link you claimed to lose...
was found at a crime scene the next day in Woojin.
I don't know about that.
You were a great martial artist who served in the special forces.
Doesn't that make you a lethal weapon?
You're stretching it.
Jin Woo lost his footing, hurt his head,
and was pronounced brain dead.
According to your 707th Special Forces colleague,
you're the ideal human weapon, trained to kill someone.
Didn't you use your training to attack Jin Woo's vitals...
and make him brain dead?
Why?
Because you had to serve up his living heart to Cha Young Woon,
the son of the director you serve so faithfully.
That's a wild guess, detective.
Jinjin is the largest hospital in the country,
and they have no reason to harm someone for their heart.
Jin Woo and Young Woon are half-brothers.
There wouldn't be any other organs that would be a better match.
So you hired Dr. Chu Young Chun...
to monitor Jin Woo for years.
On the day of Jin Woo's accident,
you sent a text asking for mulhoe to lure Jin Woo to the sea.
We have the proof.
On October 12,
who did you meet on the 19th floor of Jinjin Hotel?
I met Ms. Jean Claude Marie.
What for?
Was it because she was Jin Woo's birth mother?
She's an artist that Jinjin Group supports.
That's why we met.
I know nothing about her being Oh Jin Woo's birth mother.
Really? You don't?
Okay. The aftermath of those lies are is you to handle.
However,
do you think the evidence we have...
ends with this?
We also have a video of you attacking Jin Woo.
There was a witness.
Did you see that? Did you see him squirm?
Yes. He squirmed ever so slightly.
Jung Woo No.
We'll transfer you to prosecution for the murder of Oh Jin Woo.
Do you have more to say?
It looks like you already reached a conclusion.
Does my opinion matter?
If you're already decided to transfer him, go ahead.
We'll reveal the truth in court.
Just call off the exigent arrest.
No. The 48 hours aren't up yet.
You'll be questioned here until your warrant review.
You can just take the Ministry of Justice's bus straight to court.
Why bother coming and going?
You have an accomplice.
Yoo Jung Sook.
The director.
She ordered everything,
didn't she?
Detective Oh.
I don't care what kind of story you come up with,
but beware of libel.
You're a detective.
Someone has your back?
Can I go to the restroom?
If you wish.
Wait.
What are you doing?
Your client is a flight risk.
He served in the special forces too.
I'll undo them in the cubicle.
What are you?
Yoo Jung Sook's mercenary?
A servant? A slave?
Or what? Her lover?
You have a rough and vulgar mouth.
Stop bluffing, you murderer.
Be grateful for constitutionalism.
Bluff all you want behind bars, you jerk.
Detective Oh.
The warrant will be reviewed.
We need to send him over.
What? Already?
Hey.
Don't forget about constitutionalism.
What?
You scumbag.
Detective Oh!
Good grief.
Stop it!
You didn't look into me enough.
I will chase you to the ends of the fiery pit.
Get going.
(The nation's true protector)
He must have a great connection in the court.
What's with that confidence, as if the warrant will get denied?
His warrant examination must've cut in line.
Gosh. Getting the date for it was sure fast.
I thought it'd take at least two days.
We better buckle up.
You're right. We should buckle up our minds.
But we should unbuckle our belts. Because first, we need to eat.
My gosh.
We don't have the warrant result yet.
Stop frowning.
We must swiftly forward him to the prosecution.
(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)
Come in.
(Prosecution Service)
Did you ask for me?
Ms. Ko.
What's wrong with Yang Hee Ju?
Excuse me?
Dad.
I want to work.
"Work?"
Come on. I want you to rest more.
What? Are you already itching to work?
Honestly, born with wealth and a smart brain,
I lived a stress-free life.
I took my environment...
and what I had for granted.
But I shouldn't have.
I plan to become a proper prosecutor now.
- Are you okay? - Of course.
You are seeing the psychiatrist, right?
Dad. I'm serious right now.
Right, you are.
Your psychiatrist must be an amazing one.
Go ahead. If you're feeling okay, you should work.
Let me...
work with Prosecutor Ko Young Ju.
- Ms. Ko? - Yes.
I was quite shocked...
when she ran out of the hospital...
and went right back into the case.
And she could've had a nice life after marrying Young Woon.
But she refused to for a better career.
That looked cool.
Bae Min Gyu was making me lose my temper.
But she kicked that scumbag in the butt.
She's a real professional.
On that date, we will give it our all together.
Help us, Dad.
- You will, right? - Yes.
How did you make Yang Hee Ju into a decent human being?
I'm not sure.
I simply told her the facts of the case.
Is that so?
Chairman Cha's family.
I've known them for years, so it's hard to believe.
Though I can sort of understand how they must've felt...
when I think about when Hee Ju got kidnapped.
Even so,
crime is a different story.
Can you really do it?
I can.
And...
I must.
I'm even thinking about Director Yoo.
I see.
I didn't make this decision because of Hee Ju.
How can I say no to someone going at it,
risking their career and life?
Give it your all.
Yes, understood.
Ms. Ko.
Well...
I'm taking the case.
Right.
Okay.
I'm sorry to make you suffer both physically and mentally.
Don't say that.
Civil servants like us...
can't choose our cases, can we?
Hi.
Did the shop owner change?
The coffee here became stronger.
What's with that look? It makes me uncomfortable.
You can't get off work sharp starting today.
Competent people don't work overtime.
Give it your best, Ms. Ko.
Are you working starting today?
I'm not sure yet.
I went to see my psychiatrist.
What did they say?
- Can you work? - Of course.
But guess who I saw at the hospital?
Bae Min Gyu's attorney.
That jerk must've applied a psychological evaluation...
- for mental unstableness. - That's right.
Which hospital was it?
Isn't it obvious? It was Jinjin Medical Center.
Is that so?
Someone like him shouldn't be released for mental unstableness.
Those with power...
are troublesome even behind bars.
You're right.
They're not the only problem.
Jinjin Medical Center is the same.
Who could've imagined Dr. Yoo would've done...
such a horrible thing?
My son.
Look at your worn-out face.
It's tough, isn't it?
Should I just kill myself in here?
- That should be better, right? - My son. Don't do it.
Don't think of doing anything like that, okay?
I will have you released one way or another,
so wait a bit more.
How will you do it?
For now,
eat this first.
You didn't have any proper meals, right?
There's not enough eel.
Is that so?
Then I'll order more eel next time.
I'm sorry, my son.
Were you treated for depression at the detention center?
- Yes. - We requested...
a psychiatric evaluation.
You'll be able to transfer to a hospital soon.
Which hospital?
It's obviously going to be Jinjin Medical Center's VIP room.
We already agreed on it.
Got it.
By the way, Dad.
Do you think I really murdered someone?
No way!
Attorney Choi talked about a video or whatnot.
I know that's fake.
Right.
Dig in.
Okay.
My son. Make sure to eat lots.
Dr. Chu's been strange, no?
You're right.
Normally, he'd already be here, placing down the flatware.
But it's like he's been avoiding Port Diner these days.
Maybe his feelings for you died down completely.
No way!
Do you think a man's heart is like a coin...
that flips sides so easily? That's no man.
You're so pure.
It only takes a second for a person's heart to change.
You should've known that.
Is that why you're staying as a widow like me?
We're in the same situation.
You're right. I have my own fish to fry.
I'm in no position to teach others.
I'm sorry for being late.
Dr. Chu, the stew will get cold.
We had a line of cold patients at the hospital today.
You two didn't catch a cold, right?
Dr. Chu. Did I make you upset or something?
No. What could you have done to upset me?
You haven't been coming here all that often these days.
You didn't have a change of heart, did you?
No way.
I am only devoted to you two.
You two are all I've got. I'm serious.
Take a seat.
Hi, ma'am.
My goodness. You've been dropping by often.
Didn't you quit coming for a while?
Gosh, how can we quit coming here?
We're addicted to your mulhoe,
so how could we quit?
Please make us our lunch.
Then three mulhoe, okay?
- Okay. - Okay.
"Protect Dr. Chu as a witness?"
To put it simply,
keep an eye on Dr. Chu. Right?
That's it.
We've been bumping into each other a lot recently.
Isn't that nice since we're in the same neighborhood?
The town itself is quite small.
I ran into Pumpkin Tea House's Ae Ra...
four times yesterday.
- This town sure is small. - Right?
I'm starving.
- Gosh. I'm really hungry. - Me too.
- Thank you for the meal. - Great.
- Thank you for the meal. - Thank you for the meal.
Ms. Hong. The change should be five dollars.
It's a discount. You know, a special treatment.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Bye.
We need to talk.
What?
Detective Lee.
What is it?
What is Troublemaker like as a detective to you?
Jin Sung is literally the best.
That's all because he takes after me.
If only I had been born a little earlier,
I would've beaten and made all the female spies cry...
back in the Second World War.
Right.
You would've made one fine spy, ma'am.
You guys have been watching Dr. Chu, right?
After Troublemaker returned to Seoul,
you stopped coming to my restaurant.
But I spot you guys wherever Dr. Chu goes these days.
That's because the town is small...
Whatever.
It was suspicious...
how Troublemaker took Dr. Chu's diary.
By any chance,
is Dr. Chu connected to Jin Woo's incident?
Is he?
Even though Jin Woo was dying,
I, his mom,
didn't know that and was lost in singing.
Jin Woo.
Don't forgive me.
Don't ever...
forgive me.
Hurry up, will you? You're making me flip out.
Since it was Ms. Ko calling us over,
maybe a special task force team was created.
The quality of the special task force team's snacks is different.
Gosh. I hope we can at least get good support for the investigation.
If only the higher-ups don't get in our way.
Just think of it as a joint investigation...
of Jin Woo's case with the prosecution.
Wait. Over there. Isn't she your mom, Detective Oh?
What?
What? Mom?
Do you take me as a complete fool?
What's this out of the blue?
Good gracious.
Follow me.
- Get going. - Hurry up and go.
- You can go ahead first. - Okay.
Detective Oh is the spitting image of his mom.
They even have the same temper.
Detective Oh is clearly her son.
A DNA test is unnecessary.
They're family, for sure.
Who killed Jin Woo?
Spill it at once.
What will you do after I tell you?
I will kill him and go to jail.
Mom.
I heard Dr. Chu gave the diary about Jin Woo to a guy...
at Jinjin Medical Center.
Isn't he the culprit?
Why on earth did that jerk kill Jin Woo?
Madam Hong.
Just leave Jin Woo's case to me.
Are you looking down on me because I lack education?
I, too, have a hunch.
What are you talking about?
When Jin Woo had the accident,
Jinjin Medical Center was being thoughtful and treated him as a VIP.
But they must've had a reason to do that.
What in the world happened in that hospital?
Just go home and wait quietly.
Jin Woo...
Just thinking about that day drives me crazy.
Are you telling me to eat, take dumps,
and sleep when I don't even know how my son died?
I also have a right to know.
I am Jin Woo's mom.
Before you tell me everything, I won't go home.
I'm Seocho Station's Violent Crimes Senior Policeman Mok Dong Man.
It is such an honor to meet a prosecutor in real life.
Didn't we meet before, Detective Mok?
Oh, yes. The day Ms. Yang got kidnapped,
I had this sense of duty despite it not being my duty and...
That's more than enough.
It is a great honor to investigate with you.
Let's sit down and talk.
As you already know, Jung Woo No...
admitted to the conclusive evidence from the police investigation...
and pleaded the Fifth to the rest.
Even so, he is a prime suspect in Oh Jin Woo's murder.
Won't we get something if we replace Jung Woo No...
in the footage of the accident we obtained...
and run a thorough analysis?
As expected from a real prosecutor.
I agree with you 100 percent with respect.
I will make a request to the NFS.
Please do so.
If Park Ki Young had sent Jin Woo's video,
wasn't it he who also took it?
Isn't there a possibility that someone else took it?
Even if someone else had taken it,
what's important is...
how Park Ki Young knew there was a witness,
found them, and obtained that footage.
And for what reason?
In other words,
Park Ki Young was deeply involved in Jin Woo's murder?
That's right.
Park Ki Young likely had a decisive clue that revealed...
the full extent of Jin Woo's murder.
That's what I think.
Gosh, this room is full of real prosecutors.
Even my very breath agrees with you fully.
As a matter of fact, we're getting in touch...
with an acquaintance of Park Ki Young's mother...
to obtain information about him.
"An acquaintance of Park Ki Young's mother?"
Yes.
It's the mother of the lawyer who inherited Park Ki Young's legacy.
She's currently on a trip. We plan to meet her as soon as she returns.
I recall Detective Oh mentioning that to me.
We'll share the information after meeting her.
Yes. Please do.
Right. I know it's tiresome, but please make haste.
Let's get going now.
- Okay. - Okay.
Hey. Detective Yuk.
Detective Oh's conversation with his mom is drawing out.
You're right. It seemed his mom was very furious.
- We'll get going. - Right.
Let's have a team dinner later.
Great work.
Our law firm is quite powerful in the judiciary,
but Jinjin is much more powerful.
Then what happens to Mr. Jung now?
Well, the prosecution will request his presence.
But it's up to him whether he'll go or not.
You should go at least once...
so that they don't request a warrant or anything silly like that.
If they call, you should schedule a meeting.
Yes, sir.
Director, once I wrap this case up well,
will my name make it onto Jinjin's List too?
May I open the champagne?
Would you, please?
Here you go.
You were all here.
What...
Prosecutor Ko Young Ju will be...
ultimately indicting you and Woo No for premeditated murder.
But...
there is no direct evidence so far to say it's premeditated murder.
But there's more than enough circumstantial evidence.
That is true.
So, Mr. Jung, the thing that concerns me is this.
During the police investigation,
they mentioned the witness in Woojin on the day of the incident.
What do you mean, a witness?
On top of that, Detective Oh Jin Sung mentioned...
a video of the scene as well.
Does anything ring a bell for you?
No.
Then, it could just be an assumption or a leading question.
Anyway, for this case,
I will focus the defense argument...
on the fact that there is no direct evidence.
Then I'll be off now, Director.
All right.
The person who sent the video of Oh Jin Woo's murder scene...
was Park Ki Young.
Ki Young?
There is a high chance that Ki Young knew about the Woojin case.
Did you two perhaps...
meddle in Park Ki Young's suicide case as well?
Are you asking me as a family?
Whether or not I'll take your side and give you legal advice...
depends on your honest answer.
No.
Every single suspect in the world...
has the right to a legal defense.
I may not be a lawyer,
but I will have to protect my family...
with advice I can give as a prosecutor.
But,
for the prosecution to indict someone for premeditated murder,
they must prove that the two of you knew that Oh Jin Woo was...
the heir of Jinjin.
Therefore, the two of you must be unaware of the fact...
that Oh Jin Woo was Father's son out of wedlock.
The birth mother has already been told what to say.
The birth mother...
Can we really trust her?
She's a cheap woman who sold her son for money.
We have paid her enough to compensate for her son.
There's no need to worry.
If the birth mother doesn't lead to anything,
the prosecution will ask for DNA tests...
and even my surgery records.
It's not likely,
but the law firm must come up with a way to respond...
if they send a court order.
For now, it'll be good to cooperate with the investigation.
Okay.
That day,
could Ki Young have followed you all the way to Woojin?
I can't be sure he didn't.
Thank goodness he's no longer alive.
If he had been a witness, it would've left us in a bind.
Yes.
And about that woman.
As Young Woon said, would it be okay to trust her?
I'll check once more.
No. I'll meet with her myself.
Yes, ma'am.
(Marie's testimony)
(Director Yoo, Woo No, Chairman Cha, Marie, Jin Woo)
Hey.
What about Mother?
I sent her home on the last bus.
Why did she come here all of a sudden?
She was basically Agatha Christie. She was so certain.
She would've probably blown up the police station if I hadn't told her.
Mother should know too.
She'll find out sooner or later.
Right. I can't keep her in the dark forever.
That's good.
Well, that's that. What will you do now?
I'll request a warrant on Jung Woo No again.
How?
Hey, Jung Woo No...
He stated that he didn't know Jin Woo was Ms. Marie's son.
But what if he knew and approached her to appease her?
I think he definitely did that.
The reason our warrant request was dismissed...
was because there was no concern for the destruction of evidence.
But if we can prove that Jung Woo No met with Ms. Marie...
and appeased her,
we can strengthen our argument for the destruction of evidence...
and resubmit a request for a warrant.
And if we prove that he lied as well,
we could add another crime to his list.
But I feel like Ms. Marie has gone over to their side.
Gosh, that's why I had her put on the no-fly list...
because there's a chance that she colluded with the suspects.
I sent her a notice to appear as a testifier to her hotel as well.
We have to get Ms. Marie...
to admit that Jin Woo was her son...
and to testify for our side.
That's up to me, then.
Are you here to see me?
Let's talk.
Could you wait?
I have a prior engagement.
Thank you for meeting with me.
Let's sit.
Last time, I told you...
that Jin Woo died a wrongful death.
- But... - Jinjin had him killed.
How did Reporter Park Ki Young die?
Do you know Park Ki Young?
Why do you think I suddenly came back to Korea?
There's no such thing as coincidence in this world.
(Longing For You)
Park Ki Young knew who Jin Woo was all along.
Because you abandoned your son,
your son died.
I'm sorry.
That's not something a person can do.
How will you live the rest of your life?
You can't just say thanks and be done with it.
Check on it and cooperate with the investigation.
What's certain is that...
Park Ki Young's suicide case was fabricated.
Did you interfere in Park Ki Young's suicide case?
To be honest, I was in Woojin on the day of the incident.
Sincerity and loyalty?
Those words aren't for a murderer like you to use.
