(Episode 99)
The 2020 independent case and the first trial of number 771...
for embezzlement and breach of duty.
The 2020 settlement case and the first trial of number 826...
for solicitation of murder.
The 2020 settlement case and the first trial of number 840...
for theft.
We will proceed with the trial for all the above cases.
Is Defendant Ko Sang Ah present?
Yes.
Prosecution, make your statement.
Your Honor,
Defendant Ko Sang Ah embezzled the company's funds...
of more than 30 million dollars via a paper company called APlus...
from the time when she was a director in Shinsang Group,
instructed the Yeoju factory to be blown up...
and caused enormous damage to the company,
loaned funds illegally with the factory site,
which was under the company name...
to operate personal funds,
and acquired wealth through unjust solicitation from many vendors.
When these were on the verge of being discovered,
she forged documents...
and tried to impute them on to Attorney Kim Joong Ki,
the former Chairman Ko Choong, and Park Bok Hee.
Then when Caregiver Shim Kyung Ja threatened her with this knowledge,
she instructed to cause harm in order to get rid of her.
Thus, she has committed numerous accounts of crimes continuously,
such as requesting abduction and assault to cover up her crimes.
In particular, she committed a crime against humanity...
in the theft of donated cornea before urgent surgery.
Accordingly, the prosecution has filed an indictment...
to Defendant Ko Sang Ah for crimes including embezzlement,
breach of duty, forgery of private documents,
grievous bodily harm, obstruction of work, theft,
assault, and solicitation of murder.
Defendant, do you plead guilty to the listed crimes?
No, I plead not guilty.
Defendant,
you said that the paper company APlus was created...
by Manager Kim Joong Ki under the direction...
of Chairman Ko Choong, right?
That's the truth.
No.
Two sets of books were created with a company called APlus...
at the instruction of the defendant for your slush fund.
In addition, in the process of signing a contract with Audrey,
an overseas luxury brand, you have benefited millions of dollars.
Is that true?
Do you have proof?
We'd like to submit as evidence of Mr. Kim Joong Ki's notebook,
which details Ms. Ko Sang Ah's instructions...
with a specific date and time.
(List of evidence)
Does it make sense that Kim Joong Ki's notebook appeared...
when he has gone missing?
It must be fabricated.
I'll move on to the next case.
Defendant, you know Ms. Shim Kyung Ja, don't you?
I do.
She threatened me and took my money.
So, did you instruct Mr. Kim Joong Ki to kill her?
What now?
Did you find Shim Kyung Ja's notebook this time?
Your Honor,
the prosecution is unreasonably pressuring the defendant...
without any evidence.
Received.
Prosecutor, rephrase the question.
Yes, your Honor.
Then without any offensive questions,
your Honor, I'd like to call our witness.
A witness?
At whose call?
Defendant, be quiet.
I believe that there aren't any witnesses requested...
by the prosecution today.
I couldn't follow the procedure as it was an urgently acquired witness.
Allowed.
Witness, please come in.
Lawyer Kim?
You should turn yourself in.
Then, as well as defense, the company will support you...
in what we can.
You can't live like this forever.
He's right.
Just testify the fact as is.
I don't know why you were so loyal to Sang Ah in the past.
But it's time for you to be honest.
Sang Ah is trying to impute all the crimes on to you.
What?
I expected...
that it would turn out like this.
Just in case,
I kept a note of all the instructions given,
texts, and call history from Ko Sang Ah.
(Witness)
What?
How did he come here? What is he going to say?
Prosecution, ask your questions.
Mr. Kim Joong Ki,
I heard you turned yourself in. What were your crimes?
Forgery of private documents, abduction,
and assault under instruction.
Can you elaborate?
I created a paper company called APlus to form a slush fund,
manipulated genetic test results,
and kidnapped and murdered Shim Kyung Ja.
You said you were instructed. Who gave you the instruction?
Ms. Ko Sang Ah sitting over there.
Liar.
Liar! It's all lies.
It's all your doing!
You slushed fund and you manipulated it!
You said you pushed Shim Kyung Ja off a cliff!
Defendant, refrain from disrespectful remarks in court.
Also,
she instructed the Yeoju factory bombing and work below the surface.
The final crime...
was committed by Ki Cha Ban, who was a chauffeur at the time.
I have a voice recording related to it.
What?
I would like to call Mr. Jang Si Kyung as a witness...
as the person who was with Ms. Shim before she disappeared.
The witness may stand.
On the day Ms. Shim was kidnapped and went missing,
in the process of recommending Ms. Shim to turn herself in,
I got battered by someone and lost consciousness.
The situation at the time of the incident...
was recorded on Mr. Kim's phone that proves it was done by Ms. Ko.
Lawyer Kim, get rid of Shim Kyung Ja quickly!
How did it go? Did you take care of her?
I succeeded in finding her before the police,
but while struggling at the cliff...
So...
did she die?
It's difficult to search because of the current.
No body was found yet.
Okay. Then hurry back.
Manager Kim.
Why won't you answer me, Manager Kim?
She sure is amazing.
She was the victim of the genetic test manipulation.
I believe Defendant Ko Sang Ah...
has caused much harm to Ms. Park Bok Hee until now.
Could you tell us about it, please?
There are...
so many. I can't even remember them all.
Too many that...
I can't tell you each of the things she has done here.
Whenever she got the chance, she would...
I mean, Defendant Ko Sang Ah...
would try to frame me for what she did.
Then she fired me...
and ordered her subordinate, Ki Cha Ban,
to steal data from our department.
Why are you saying my name?
She tricked an old man with dementia...
and signed a contract to win our team.
She even hired someone...
to hit me with a car...
in order to get rid of me.
Park Bok Hee!
You tried to frame me and drag me down!
I'm going to kill you.
Do you think I'll let you go?
Order in the court!
In fact,
the crimes that have been said now...
are nothing compared to the one committed in the past.
"A crime committed in the past"?
Now, the statute of limitations has run out,
so she can't be legally punished.
But I think we should...
add weight to the crimes she has committed by revealing it.
This is because...
I believe this case...
is the beginning of Defendant Ko Sang Ah's wrongdoings.
What the heck are you playing at?
Your Honor.
Prosecutor.
Ko Sang Ah...
hired a person to attack Jang Si Kyung,
which led to surgery...
for his injured cornea to hide her past crime.
What was the crime she was trying to hide?
Please listen to this.
Hello, this is Dr. Kwang.
You left your phone to be repaired, right?
Yes. Is it repaired?
Not completely yet.
The components are old and so rotten.
But I restored about ten percent for now.
Jang Si Kyung...
left her brother Ko Sang Soo's phone, who died in a car accident,
for repair to restore the files in there.
Defendant Ko Sang Ah, who was afraid that it would be restored,
tried to stop it.
What could've been in there...
to make her do that?
This is not right.
I like living free like this.
I go when I want to...
- and stop where I want. - Sang Soo.
It must be nice to live as you want.
So Dad also gave up on me.
But in the end,
he'll take your side.
You're all that matters to Dad.
What do you mean by that?
Just as the person who will lead the company is decided,
he always wanted you.
Hey!
The truth of the car accident that ended...
as Ko Sang Soo being the driver...
was actually Ko Sang Ah.
Ko Sang Ah sitting in this court as the defendant...
was the driver.
No! It's not true!
The accident happened after I got out of the car!
I remembered that part!
My memory that had been deleted...
came back so clearly.
If he was found a little earlier, he wouldn't have died.
I'm sorry for your loss.
The Defendant Ko Sang Ah killed someone who she knew as her brother.
And the numerous crimes she has committed since then.
Please punish her severely for it.
Prosecutor. What is your proposal for punishment?
You nasty witch!
How?
How could you do that?
Stop her!
How on earth could you do that?
Is this all true?
Then you're not even a human being!
You know what I did for you!
You know how I raised you!
How could you?
Mom!
Please be quiet!
Prosecutor. What is your proposal for punishment?
In addition to the cases we know about,
there seem to be more cases to be re-examined,
so her punishment is likely to increase.
I will organize it further and submit it in writing later.
Go ahead.
Mr. Ki Cha Ban!
We're arresting you here on charges of factory explosion,
assault to Mr. Jang Si Kyung, and wiretapping!
Pardon?
Let go of me!
I'm just here to watch the trial! What is this...
Look. Then I'll stop by my house for a while and sort things out.
But who said that?
Who said that I did it?
Director Yu! Mrs. Jung! Chairman Ko!
Hey, Jang Si Kyung!
Then, today's trial will end here.
My wife...
Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go!
I decided to return from the States...
and have been having nightmares.
I think I finally know why.
Maybe it was because of this.
It'll all be over now, won't it?
Let's believe it is.
I wore the tie you gave me today.
That's probably why it ended perfectly!
You're right! That should be it.
Let's go.
- Welcome back. - Welcome back.
Right.
What's wrong with Grandma?
She was a bit surprised today.
Did you go to the hospital?
Yes. She just seems to be very surprised.
She has no choice but to rest...
so she'll have to rest.
Don't you guys worry.
Let's go in.
Everything Ko Sang Ah did.
Has it got nothing to do with you?
Even when Si Kyung got injured.
Mrs. Jung, are you suspecting me?
How could I do such a thing?
After how you've helped me out all these years.
Well, good of you to know.
But I still have a leery feeling at the back of my mind.
After Sang Ah lost Si Kyung to Ms. Park Bok Hee,
it seems she hasn't been in her right mind.
Mom. Please have some of this.
If you don't eat anything, you can fall ill.
I know how shocked you must be.
I would've felt the same way.
It's your son who you depended on so much.
You can be sad all you want, but shake it off and get up later.
When I think about...
Ko Sang Ah, I want to make her stand...
at the intersection of Gwanghwamun and stone her all I can.
But to ruin someone,
you have to destroy yourself a little bit more.
So let's leave her punishment up to the law.
And let's cherish each other and have a better life.
She wanted to break our family apart.
So let's be happier and take revenge that way.
All right?
Goodness.
You're here.
Is your mother all right?
She's too shocked so she can't talk temporarily.
She's been crying the whole time, and I managed to put her to sleep.
That's why I told her not to come to the court.
She found out the truth too unexpectedly.
She would've found it out sooner or later.
And it would've been shocking however she found out about it.
That's true.
If you had told someone,
Sang Ah or Jung Woo would've found out.
And things could've gone wrong.
Your mother will get better as time goes by.
She should.
Well, we did manage to put Sang Ah in jail.
We'll just have a drink today.
(Shinsang Group)
Dad. Please take your seat.
(CEO Ko Choong)
I never imagined...
that I'd be back here again.
The day you came to our house after being dismissed.
Don't you remember what I'd promised you back then?
I said I'll do whatever it takes to get your place back.
Yes, you did.
But...
I can't believe it came true.
You have built up this place.
No,
I was only able to do it as you were behind my back.
If it weren't for you, I couldn't have dreamed of being here.
This seat has been, is, and will...
be yours, Dad.
Is the transition going well?
Right. Let's take a seat.
Bok Hee submitted a letter of resignation...
to quit the company.
Yes, from now on,
I want to take the time to find out what I really want to do.
I think it'd be nice for her to take a break while at it.
If that's how you feel, I will...
ask them to accept your resignation.
Yes.
Thank you.
You protected the company.
If it weren't for you two,
the truth about Sang Soo's accident...
would've been buried forever.
It's something we had to do.
Yes.
I'm glad we were able to do it.
Right. Thank you.
I know how much...
you value and care for Bok Hee.
If you're upset about what I had told you before,
I want to apologize.
I understand, sir.
This is the list of guests...
for the groundbreaking ceremony of the resort.
I see.
You'll be present on this day, right?
Yes, I will.
Guys!
Did you not go to the academy?
It's time to go.
The kids made fun of Se Ra today,
saying she's a murderer's daughter.
What? Do you mean that?
Yes. She hurt herself as she was pushing and bled too.
I took her to the infirmary, but she told me to get lost.
That's why we shouldn't help her. You get cursed after helping out.
Goodness. So that happened.
But did Se Ra's mom really kill someone?
Well, you see, it was an accident.
She didn't do it on purpose.
But still,
she should've fixed the situation after the accident.
But she made the wrong choice.
It'd be hard to understand it when I put it like this.
No, I get it.
She ran away after causing an accident, didn't she?
How quick you are.
You put it into a sentence perfectly.
Anyway, if the kids are too mean to Se Ra, you should stop them.
She hasn't done anything wrong.
All right.
- Let's go. - Yes.
- We're going to school. - Have a good day.
I don't remember the last time I took a rest.
What are you going to do now?
Bear it a bit more. I'll find a way.
I won't let you rot in here.
So?
What's your plan?
We got a doctor who said he'll get you a medical certificate.
Once you get your certificate, I'll make you flee overseas.
(My Wonderful Life)
Due to the bizarre and serious nature of the crime,
you are sentenced to 15 years in jail.
If I expose the crimes of Ko Sang Ah,
you can reduce my sentence. Isn't that right?
You want me to go through Director Yu's office?
There will be a list of funds that shows how much he forked over.
Yu Jung Woo. You dared to mess with my son?
