Do what suits you best.
You used to be a servant?
What a lowlife.
Hi, Sun Ah.
Kang Yo Han told Cha Kyung Hee about me.
- What? - Look into it.
Why would he...
Shut your mouth and look into it!
You'll have to pay for interfering with my plans.
It seems you worked hard to get here.
Would that be okay?
I will kill you,
Kang Yo Han.
I will tear you to shreds.
But isn't it too risky?
You said you never know what she'll do.
I told you. If the powerful stick together,
there's no way.
We have Doh Young Choon.
We can use him to get Cha Kyung Hee...
And let prosecutors take over?
Or the press?
Cha Kyung Hee has leverage against every media company.
We can't take her down from the outside.
We have no choice but to make them turn their blades at each other?
What if that blade turns to face you?
How can I shake them without risking anything?
Fortunately for us, everyone...
has their own sore point.
Whoever that may be.
Darn it.
Have you had dinner?
How is Young Min?
He's the same as yesterday.
The wound almost healed up.
But you know how he feels...
Mom, let's move to America.
I don't think I can live here.
I'm too scared to live here.
Move to America with me, Mom.
Stand up.
- Mom. - I said stand up.
Stand up.
Can't you hear me?
Stand up.
- You weak little loser. - Honey.
You should seek revenge not run away!
How could you run away after being humiliated like that?
How could you? You stupid little boy.
How much do you think Cha Kyung Hee knows about me?
I looked into it, but I can't find any connecting link between them.
They're certainly enemies.
Do you think Cha Kyung Hee would join hands with Kang Yo Han?
There's no one other than Kang Yo Han.
The one who would put a knife in her hand and make her stab me.
He's after something.
(Minister Cha Kyung Hee)
Yes, Minister Cha.
(Unnatural Death Case Report)
You did a pretty good job of hiding it.
I guess you spent a lot of money on it.
A mother who beat her daughter whenever she was drunk...
unfortunately fell down the stairs in a hillside slum and died.
The security light was off, and the only witness was her daughter.
Her acting was outstanding and tears seemed so real.
The police officers never doubted her.
So it's closed as a slip and fall accident under the influence.
I think it's enough for me to pursue it.
The daughter's statement was the only proof that she was drunk.
But what if I find a doctor's note that says otherwise?
"There was no trace of alcohol in her system."
"Unless someone pushed her from behind,"
"it would've never happened."
But there was no report that says so.
You still don't understand, do you?
The thing about truth is that...
I make it up.
All I need is some source that can fire up people's imagination.
I guess you're an expert at it.
Fabricating evidence and carrying out a pressed investigation.
You're good at those.
I'll take that as a compliment.
What is it that you want?
Kang Yo Han.
Catch him and regain my son's reputation.
Then I'll let you go.
But the trial is over. How can I ever...
That's why I need someone like you.
Someone who was born in a dirty swamp.
Someone who would do anything to survive.
I'll give you a week...
to get it done.
A pleasure to see you again, Master Yo Han.
You've been well, right?
Do you want it done just as usual?
Yes.
Thank you.
Hi, Master Yo Han.
How is it that you are here?
Where's the barber?
Don't tell me you...
Don't get all worked up.
He's just asleep.
What do you think you're doing?
Nothing. I always wanted to do this.
I wanted to...
make my master pretty.
Then get what you wished for.
But you know what?
Why did you do it?
Do what?
You leaked a story about me to Cha Kyung Hee.
Thanks to you, I'm in big trouble.
I did it because I need you.
Are you serious?
I want to get Cha Kyung Hee.
And I was hoping you will do the same.
So you put me in danger because you needed me?
Master Yo Han.
You are a bad man.
And a brazen one too.
Isn't that why you like me?
Because I'm like you.
After all, things are irreversible for you now.
As long as Cha Kyung Hee is alive and well,
you won't get your freedom back.
Now make a choice.
What if I choose the blade?
Then I can't help it.
Do as you wish.
Do you want to come to my place?
It's been a long time.
It'll remind you of the old days. It's going to be fun.
What are you thinking about?
Everything's the same as before.
But you've changed.
I have?
How?
Ms. Jung?
Welcome.
Chief Kang told me he was inviting you over.
He did?
If it is okay with you, would you like to eat with us?
It's dinnertime soon.
Did you really make all of this, Judge Kim?
I'm living off this family, thankfully.
I thought you were fully recovered. Aren't you?
I didn't know you had so many talents.
When I first met you, I didn't know...
you had so many talents either.
Who's this lady again?
She is the head of the Live Court Show Operation Support Committee.
This is the first time you've brought a woman over.
Are you two together?
- Elijah. - I'm honored.
I'm your first female guest?
You're together, right?
Let's eat.
- Are you together or not? - We're not.
She helps Chief Kang.
Please continue to help us.
I'm not sure.
Am I even capable of helping Chief Kang?
Chief Kang told me he absolutely needs you.
My, I'm flattered.
Did you really say that?
You're talking too much.
Please start. You too.
Elijah, try this first.
Judge Kim, you seem to belong right in this family.
You blend in perfectly.
You think so?
I guess you don't feel lonely anymore.
I'm envious.
Have you known each other for a long time?
Well...
We've been supporting each other over the years,
Elijah.
How do you know my name?
How about a toast? We have our important guest here.
- Not you. - What do I drink then?
Drink juice.
Thank you. Cheers.
Hold on. She should be here any minute.
Why did you want me to come in the evening?
Oh, I see you have a guest.
To Ms. Jung Sun Ah,
who has returned home after all these years.
Sun Ah... Are you Sun Ah?
Are you playing me?
You don't like it?
That's too bad.
Yes, I'm playing you.
It's fun.
You're smart,
ruthless,
and as broken as I am.
That's pretty rare.
But I'm thinking, playing with you might be fun too.
Remember the offer you made me?
You wanted me to climb to the top of the world...
with you.
Smile.
You belong in this house.
Do you think Jung Sun Ah will join hands with you?
She might choose Cha Kyung Hee.
She's unpredictable.
That's nonsense. He's obviously tricking you.
Right?
What does Kang Yo Han take you for?
I can't believe this.
I know.
He's obviously tricking me.
But he doesn't even seem to try to hide it.
So?
It's strange.
I want to fall for his trick.
Even...
just for a short while.
Sun Ah.
But I probably shouldn't,
I guess.
Hello? Judge Oh Jin Joo speaking.
I know.
This is Park Du Man, chairman of Saram Media.
Oh, hello.
I'm sorry I called you so suddenly. But I'd love to see you.
On behalf of the Social Responsibility Foundation.
Do you mean all of us three judges?
No.
Just you, Judge Oh.
Well, okay. Sounds good.
Is something wrong?
What?
No, nothing's wrong.
Judge Oh, you're here.
Have a seat.
Over there.
Nice to meet you. I'm Oh Jin Joo.
I enjoyed the promotional video for the live court show.
You were meant for the camera. You did a great job.
Thank you.
Why don't you help us with the work we do at the foundation?
- What do you mean? - You'll be working for the nation.
We just need someone that the citizens can trust to head it.
You're great,
but we had a few questions, which is why we asked you to come.
I don't understand...
When you were working outside of Seoul,
you put a business owner under court custody.
I'd think probation would be enough...
for using some of your own company's money.
Why were you so harsh?
Do you have anti-corporation sentiments?
Is this...
a job interview?
I don't think we're here, so you can hire me as a model.
Is this a job interview...
for the position of the presiding judge for the live court show?
You catch on quick. As expected.
I want you to trust in me to become a star,
but I must know what kind of risks I'm taking first.
Did Judge Kang Yo Han have to go through this process as well?
Hilarious.
Even the Chief Justice underwent this process.
Don't you think this is the proper distance for a conversation?
What would you like to know about me?
- I'll show you how good I am. - It's falling.
It's falling. Look.
Elijah. Eat this.
Fall. Fall!
It's your turn, Elijah.
Oh, no.
It looks like it might fall.
You got it.
It's going to... No!
Yes!
Do you want to join us? Chief Kang...
- Chief Kang? - Forget it.
Yo Han doesn't play games like this.
Chief Kang, did you have something to say?
What?
No. I was just passing by.
There was something creepy about Yo Han since then.
Is that so?
One day, I was playing with my friends,
and he watched us in secret.
He even imitated us.
- Let's win, anyone! - Let's win, anyone!
- Rock-paper-scissors, shoot! - Let's win, anyone!
- Rock-paper-scissors, shoot! - Yes!
Nice!
Hey. Do you only know how to play paper?
You fool.
- Why are you so bad? - Do a better job!
I'm sorry.
- My gosh. - Just do a better job next time.
Okay!
It gave me chills.
But Father.
Yes?
Don't you think that maybe that child wanted to play too?
- Rock-paper-scissors, shoot! - Win!
What do you mean?
That child...
might've just been really lonely.
- Chief Kang. - Yes?
What?
You're taking me away from reading to play this game?
I have homework to do too.
Do your homework then.
Stop it.
You guys should spend time together.
I have some dishes to do...
Ma'am. Let's play together.
I don't think it's a good idea to put them up against each other.
- Why? - I don't even have time to read.
What a waste of time.
Have you spent more than five minutes with Elijah...
without fighting?
Let's play. Move over.
Go first.
- Come in. - What are you talking about?
Go ahead. Hurry.
- Do I just pull anything out? - Can't you tell?
You're so dumb.
Hurry up.
- Any one of them? - Just go!
Okay, then I choose this.
Okay. Nice.
Elijah. I think that's enough...
It's shaking. It's shaking.
You need to know about structural mechanics.
They've been at it for two hours. Will they be okay?
That's why I told you that you should reconsider.
Thirty-one.
I choose this one.
Yes!
Yo Han.
Give me your arm.
Let's play again. Stack it up again.
Hurry.
Hurry. Over here.
Did something good happen?
You seem a bit different.
Something good is happening.
I'm with you.
What is it? You're scaring me. You're joking, right?
I'm not joking.
What is this?
Last time, you rode your bike, but you wanted to go for a walk.
Then you wanted to go get ice cream.
Do you have a terminal disease? Is it serious?
I'm not going to die.
So let's just eat.
Okay.
Once this is over, I'll definitely...
Yes. This place is really famous.
Really?
Did you bring me the answer I wanted to hear?
The first step.
The first step?
In your son's case, there were over 20 people...
who testified as victims.
It's hard to turn things around at that point.
It's too obvious too.
So?
But if we say that...
there was a mistake in the first step,
then the overall impression turns bad.
It's not pretty.
From that state,
if there are 1 or 2 more suspicious aspects about it,
what do you think will happen?
"What was the intention of the presiding judge..."
"who conducted a hasty trial and had the defendant flogged?"
That's not a bad title for an article.
So what's the first step?
I'm sure you remember her.
She's the first person to step up...
and change the game.
He's a complete psycho.
He threw a tantrum, complaining about the congestion.
I was so shocked and stared at him.
Then he slapped me in the face.
I felt so upset and frustrated.
Hey, have you lost your...
You're the excited young lady who had a field day.
So what can you do for us?
I'll do anything.
Just help my mom. Please.
She will say that...
Kang Yo Han paid her to give a false statement.
Is that true?
Is that important?
What's important...
is that we can make up the truth.
My mom's really okay, isn't she?
She has a heart condition.
I let you hear her voice.
That's not too bad a story.
Kang Yo Han bought a witness.
There was that Jang Ki Young issue from the previous case.
If the same thing keeps happening,
it gives off a completely different feel.
(Ministry of Justice)
But would Kang Yo Han just let it happen?
You must go public fast, so he has no time to fight back.
Let the whole nation see.
You look good on camera, don't you, Minister Cha?
I received an important tip that made me wonder...
if the live court show is impartial.
- What is it? - Can you tell us?
Telling you about it now will make some think...
I'm doing this to clear my son's name.
I suggest Judge Kang Yo Han attend a public hearing.
I will reveal everything in front of the people.
Explain yourself if you can.
Where the live court show is held.
What do you want him to explain?
Does this really not involve your son?
- What is this about? - Tell us something.
- Is it not about Lee Young Min? - What is going on?
Any comments, ma'am?
Judge Kang Yo Han.
(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han's Open Hearing)
You're known for inheriting a huge sum.
Is that true?
Is that what you wanted to know?
Yes. It's true.
Is that why you think you can buy anything in the world?
Can you be more specific?
I'm talking about the truth.
A witness to the JU Chemical's case, your first live court show.
You paid him, didn't you?
I explained those payments already.
What if you paid a witness of the very next case too?
Would you not find that strange?
Even more so if you demanded a fake testimony?
That is an interesting statement.
What evidence do you have?
(JU Chemical)
Do you remember this person?
(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han's Open Hearing)
I believe you have a lot to say.
Be brave and speak up.
In front of the public.
I'm Han So Yoon and I testified...
that I'd been assaulted by Lee Young Min.
I was...
forced to make a false statement.
Forced to make a false statement.
What on earth is that about?
What?
No way.
That's it. This is what I'm talking about.
I said your mom would do it.
Don't worry. It'll all be okay.
(Lee Young Min's victim claims she lied)
The thing about truth is that...
I make it up.
I just need an item that will get the imagination going.
(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han's Open Hearing)
Minister Cha Kyung Hee threatened me.
She said that if I didn't come here...
and say Judge Kang bribed me to lie,
she'd put me in prison for smuggling drugs...
when I didn't do such a thing.
She said it takes nothing to make me a criminal.
What are you talking about? Why are you lying?
That's what you said!
Is that true?
Yes. She said that to me in her own office last week.
If you check the visitor's log, my name will be on it.
She's the first person to step up...
and change the game.
Don't worry too much.
I'll protect you.
Wipe your tears.
The thing about truth is that we make it up.
You must go public fast, so he has no time to fight back.
Let the whole nation see.
This was set up. I'm being framed. This is a conspiracy!
You're the one who brought that lady here.
("Minister Cha forced me to lie today")
Judge Kim.
What on earth is going on?
Don't worry about it.
Ms. Jung told me to cooperate, so I'm doing as I told,
but attacking the minister...
Will it be okay?
It'll be okay, right?
I would like to ask you something, Minister.
Do you remember this man?
Take a look.
(Conman Doh Young Choon Behind Fake Social Enterprise,)
(Sentenced to 17 years)
This conman was sentenced to 17 years.
He's behind bars paying for his crime, isn't he?
Why would you ask me that?
Of course he is.
Is he?
Why is a man here when he should be in prison?
Do you know anything about this?
So, I don't know what kind of trick this is,
but it has nothing to do with me.
Is that so?
Speak.
Minister. It has been a while since we met.
I paid Minister Cha Kyung Hee a huge sum,
- and she let me out. - No way.
The man currently in prison is someone else.
(Doh Young Choon testifies)
Doh Young Choon?
What is he doing there?
- When did we ever meet? - I knew this would happen!
- Do you not remember? - Calm down.
Mom. What happens to her now?
- She'll be okay. - What'll happen?
Are you using the words of a conman...
to frame me?
This is political assassination!
I'll have prosecutors investigate and get to the truth.
Minister.
- Minister. - Were you bribed?
- Is this political? - Say something.
- Were you paid to release him? - What is the truth?
- Will you answer, please? - What about your son?
- What is really going on? - Give us a statement.
- Any comments, ma'am? - Look over here.
- Minister. - Say something.
Call Kang Yo Han. Arrange a private meeting.
- Yes, ma'am. - Minister Cha.
- Minister, any comments? - Can you explain this?
And get me a pistol.
- Pardon? - Say it's for protection...
and get one.
Okay. I'll do that.
Do you have anything to say? Anything will do!
Hello, Minister.
You are out of your mind. You stab me in the back?
I did, and the knife went right in.
Do you think I'll let this slide?
You just wait. I'll reveal everything you did.
Well, let's see...
Do you think people will believe anything you say?
You're the symbol of manipulation.
What?
See?
You should've been nice...
to the mere secretary.
That crazy little...
Good work.
Hi, Soo Hyun.
Hi, Ga On. Did you see it? Kang Yo Han caught Doh Young Choon.
Yes. I just saw it on TV.
How can you be so calm?
It's really great. I'm so relieved.
To think how much you've suffered all these years...
Anyway, how did Kang Yo Han do that?
How did he find Doh Young Choon?
It doesn't really matter.
It's all over now. Let's forget everything.
What are you talking about? This is just the beginning.
Ga On, I'll make sure...
Cha Kyung Hee is brought to justice.
I said, you can't.
She has a lot on her plate right now.
I'm hanging up.
Hello, ma'am.
A detective from the RIU keeps trying to barge in.
Did you get what I asked for?
Yes.
It's being brought here.
(Ministry of Justice)
(495Y 6541)
Even if you kill someone here,
no one would know.
It's pouring too.
Why did you want to see me?
Why are you doing this to me?
What did I ever do to you?
The fire many years ago?
I'm a victim too. I didn't do anything wrong.
Or the assemblyman who committed suicide?
I was just following orders.
I was just trying to survive in the organization,
without anyone having my back.
How do you think I got where I am now?
All I ever did is...
struggle to survive.
Do you understand?
The self-pity of the powerful.
It's hard to stand.
It makes me sick.
What?
Fine. Do whatever you want.
Do you think you can get me with one surprise show?
I know it won't be easy.
You'll stall for time by requesting an official investigation,
look for someone to take the fall,
and claim it was all political maneuvering.
It's your specialty, isn't it?
Then why did you start all this?
You may be able to dodge a couple of arrows.
But if dozens of arrows fly at you at the same time, what will you do?
It won't be easy.
This is just the beginning.
Tell me what you want from me.
You even set up a special team...
to check on the foundation members including Heo Joong Se.
Hand over the files to me.
Then I'll give you a way out.
You'll give me a way out?
Do you think I'll go down so easily?
You should know your place.
Are you sure?
All right.
Call me if you change your mind.
Honey, are you okay?
What do we do now?
You're all over the news. Everyone's talking about you.
I'm sorry, Mom.
It's all my fault.
I'm sorry.
Listen, both of you.
Never become weak.
If you become weak, you become a victim.
I'll stay strong until the end...
and make everyone kneel before me.
To think how I've struggled to get where I am...
Yes, honey. You can overcome this.
You're a strong person.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I know how you got where you are now.
I'm sorry.
We must keep pushing her.
To achieve her ambition, she'd even betray her own child.
She won't give up easily.
Good that we went through her old investigation files.
Thank you, Judge Kim.
Don't mention it.
You're the one who visited every single victim.
It's not over yet. We shouldn't relax.
What about the testimony from the prison warden? Did it go well?
Yes. He's very scared. He'll do as we say.
I've talked to Cha Kyung Hee's secretary as well...
so that you can enter without anyone knowing.
If everything goes as planned, she'll eventually go down.
That's when we should reach out.
We'll make her beg for our help.
Minister Cha is here.
Did you really hide Doh Young Choon away?
Did you really force someone to make a false statement?
- Do you admit to the charges? - Why did you do that?
- Can you say something? - Give us a comment!
The truth will be found out by the prosecution.
- Is everything true? - Tell us why you did that!
Minister Cha!
Give us a comment!
- Minister Cha, please! - Minister Cha!
- Please say something! - Can you please explain yourself?
Tell us why, Minister Cha!
Please say something!
Your broadcasting station is attacking me the most!
Are you out of your mind?
Goodness, Minister Cha.
Do you think reporters these days listen to what their superiors say?
Their journalistic spirit is driving me crazy too!
These little jerks!
Minister Cha. We're in trouble.
What is it this time?
The warden of the Southern Gyeonggi Prison made a confession...
in front of reporters about switching out a notorious conman...
due to the orders of Minister of Justice, Cha Kyung Hee.
Did the Minister of Justice order you to do this?
("Minister Cha ordered me to switch out Doh Young Choon.")
Yes. Minister Cha Kyung Hee ordered me to do it.
Were you bribed or blackmailed?
I'm sorry.
I couldn't endure the threats from Minister Cha.
That little punk.
He said he'd do anything as long as he was promoted.
Even my business failed.
(Ministry of Justice)
Minister Cha, it's the chief of the Central Prosecutor's Office.
I think you should come to the District Prosecutors' Office.
- What? - There are...
twelve suits filed against you.
They're the defendants in the cases...
you were in charge of and their families.
Blackmail, coercion,
publicizing suspected crime, abuse of power...
The charges are quite severe.
Listen here, Mr. Kim.
Did you forget who put you in that seat?
I'm sorry, ma'am.
I don't think this is something that I can just cover up.
What do you think about doing things as they should be done?
(Ministry of Justice)
Get the car ready.
Where are you going to go?
To the Blue House.
Why don't you have some? Do you not eat snacks?
How did things turn out this way?
You were set to move in here in two years,
so how did things end up like this?
My wife and I were really careful with the furniture...
so that they wouldn't have any scratches on them...
when you move in.
Let me get straight to the point.
No, it's okay. You can give me the whole story,
from the beginning, middle, and end.
We won't be seeing each other ever again, anyway.
There's a file that I've been collecting.
A file?
It contains the information of slush funds from the last election,
and the reason why the Gwanghwamun demonstration turned into a riot.
Gosh, this is...
You want to ruin the entire game.
Do you think...
someone who's about to be imprisoned can do something so big?
I'm not saying that I'm going to do it.
Then?
I'm going to give it to Kang Yo Han.
If you don't want that to happen,
do whatever you can to stop all of this.
Whether that's calling the NIS or the military.
Hold on. Okay.
Gosh, you're coming on strong.
I have this strange handicap where I can't make big decisions on my own.
Hold on. Honey. Hey, honey!
- Yes? - We have a guest.
Ms. Cha.
How could this happen to us?
What are you playing at right now?
So from now on, I'm saying we should talk as parents.
Young Min and Joon...
were best friends since they were kids.
Right. Joon was really worried about Young Min...
because he gets lonely easily,
and he's sensitive.
What is it that you want to say?
Ms. Cha. Did you know?
He...
has been using drugs since high school.
When it comes to drugs, once you've tried it,
it's hard to quit.
I looked into it, and Young Min...
has been using all sorts of drugs.
He's been using a ton of drugs.
That must be why he's been acting out.
So what do you intend to do to Young Min?
What can we do?
Korea is a constitutional nation, so we must do as the law says.
You know the law well.
Once he goes in, he'll be locked up for quite a while.
But will he be okay? Ever since he was young,
he has always been weak both physically and mentally.
I'm worried about him.
I heard that after he got flogged because of his mom,
he has become even weaker.
All mothers feel the same way.
Your self is what's most important.
Think about it carefully, Ms. Cha.
Honey, look at this. The cup looks like it'll break.
Let go. Let go of it. It's about to break.
Minister Cha.
Cool down and think about it rationally.
For the sake of your kid.
I guess your talk didn't go well.
Who are you?
Where's Secretary Kim?
Secretary Kim quit.
Who on earth are you, and why are you driving my car?
I assist Judge Kang Yo Han.
This is your last chance.
Have you made up your mind?
The only person who can stop all of this...
is Judge Kang Yo Han.
Have we...
met before?
You look familiar.
The assemblyman you investigated...
Do you remember him?
He was framed at the time and committed suicide.
I was in middle school at the time.
Is that so?
Did he have a son?
You resemble your father a lot.
Who is it?
(Cha Kyung Hee, Minister of Justice)
(Ministry of Justice)
I thought you might want to see me about now. Was I wrong?
Because of Doh Young Choon, the man you switched,
I lost my parents.
Remorse, apologies. I don't expect any of that from you.
Cooperate with us...
so that we can catch bigger criminals.
Are you saying you'd pardon me...
if I became a whistleblower or something?
Do you have any other options?
I'd like to think while I smoke one of these.
Could you excuse me?
(Ministry of Justice)
Can I see your ID?
Lieutenant Yoon Soo Hyun, RIU.
(Yoon Soo Hyun)
Thank you.
(Second floor, Minister's Office)
(Under Maintenance)
Young Min.
Come here.
Come closer.
I'm so sorry, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Young Min.
(Cha Kyung Hee, Minister of Justice)
(Ministry of Justice)
We have to find the files first.
Raise your hands and step back.
Kang Yo Han?
(Ministry of Justice)
Step back.
You there. Stand up.
Soo Hyun.
(The Devil Judge)
(Special thanks to Jung Eun Pyo.)
I want you to be lonely, Young Master.
Like me.
Do you know how I feel helping Chief Kang?
Please leave Ga On alone.
Yoon Soo Hyun. Cut her out of your life.
The foundation is still under threat.
I risk my title as Chief Justice and demand the live court be disbanded.
Go ahead with it.
She's planning something big.
- Are you afraid? - Do you think this is a joke?
What is the meaning of this?
I'm afraid you'll need to save Kim Ga On.
No!
