Students.
What you're doing right now is an illegal protest.
It severely violates Clause 1, Article 6 of Mass Protest Law
and Article 30 of Criminal Law.
If you continue this rally,
we'll have to dissolve it by compulsion
on the instruction of the police chief.
Students.
Stop the protest immediately and disperse.
We warn you.
Stop the protest and leave now.
We said, stop and leave.
Leave right now.
Enlighten ourselves.

Uphold the Constitution!
Hey, you're so loud, shut your mouth!
How ungrateful are you to protest?
What did you say?
Why are you being held in here then?
I was just passing by, and they dragged me here.
Sir.
I didn't participate in the protest.
I'm an innocent man who was just passing by.
Sit down.
Uphold the Constitution!

Don't make a noise!

Sorry, Yeon-soo.
I'm sorry.
Hold on. I don't think this will do.
- I'm sorry. - Are you okay.
Sorry.
We can't all move together.
I'll lure them away from here.
I'm sorry about what I said on the bus.
We don't have time. Hide in that alley
and come out when they're gone, okay?
Wait! What's your name?
Sorry?
I'm Choi Yeon-soo.
I'm Han Jung-hyun

Be careful, Mr. Han.
Okay, Ms. Choi.

Han Seung-goo. Good morning.
57, 58,
59.
- It's eight o'clock. - Eight o'clock sharp.
Get ready to work.
Did you sleep well, Dad?
Yes. Get changed and come out.
(Seung-mi's room, knock before you enter)
Han Seung-mi. Get up.
Are you ready for the vocabulary quiz?
It's tough to get up early, go to bed early.
If you keep nagging me,
I'll become naughty again.
Gosh, don't do that.
Jung-hyun. I don't think I can have breakfast.
You need to eat something.
Today is an important day.
Your brain won't work on an empty stomach.
Jung-ho went to the medical office.
My goodness.
He's been locked up in jail or 30 years.
He has cancer and is about to die,
but they won't grant him a stay of execution.
- For goodness' sake. - Yeon-soo.
I know you're angry and want to fight them.
But always be cautious.
You shouldn't be reckless. Okay?
Okay.
Gosh, what's wrong with these people?
What happened?
So many people are saying Uncle Jung-ho is a murderer
who killed a friend of his from university.
That's why your mom is skipping breakfast.
He needs to rush to help him clear his name.
I'll get going.
See you, Seung-goo.
Breakfast provides you with energy.
Thank you, my son.
- Bye. - Good luck.
Seung-mi. I'm sorry I can't take you to school today.
Wait a minute.
My, look at this.
Take care of yourself first.
By the way, your skirt is getting shorter.
Dad likes it because it reminds him of you.
Goodness.
I can't deny that.
See you.
Bye. Drive safely.
- Have breakfast. - Okay.
Oh, wait. Gosh.
Yeon-soo! Wait, wait!
What is it?
Thank you.
- Don't be intimidated. - I won't be.
- Bye. - Bye.
(Han's Bike Lab)
Good morning.
The court will decide today whether to accept
Hwang Jung-ho's request or a retrial.
Hwang is serving a life sentence for murder.
Choi Yeon-soo, his lawyer,
- requested a stay of execution - Good.
- so he can get... - Be careful.
- Okay. - medical treatment
for his pancreatic cancer.
But according to her, the court and the prosecution
keep postponing the decision,
- and refuse - Shall we see if it works?
- Yes. - to accept the requests
despite the clear evidence she's recently submitted.
She publicly denounced the act of sabotage...
Now we're ready.
- by a group of people who try... - Let's go.
- Good job. It's perfect. - to hide the truth.
- Accept the request... - Where are you?
Yeon-soo. It's a mess here.
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Accept the request or a retrial!
I have a feeling that something will happen today.
Okay. I'll be there soon.
Yes.
I'm on my way to a hotel sauna
to catch a slippery fellow.
I'll be there as soon as possible.
Oh, I feel refreshed.
Mr. Gwak Moon-heum.
Oh.
Ms. Choi Yeon-soo.
What brings you here?
I visited your office several times
but you were always unavailable.
Why did you want to see me?
When will you review Mr. Hwang Jung-ho's request,
- for a stay of execution? - Ma'am.
It's okay. Wait there.
Are you asking me or help
since we're judicial institute classmates?
It's been over two weeks since he requested it.
I wonder if you're aware of that
as the chairman of the committee.
Ms. Choi.
Our committee is reviewing over 100 cases.
He's an advanced pancreatic cancer patient.
And? Are you trying to cut in line or what?
Do you say that when an ambulance is racing with its siren wailing?
All patients in an ER are seeking treatment.
The other applicants are also pleading their serious illness as a reason.
But we ought to determine whether or not it's reasonable.
I think you're just waiting or him to die
using the procedure as an excuse.
Gosh.
Hey.
This won't change the world.
- What? - You graduated first,
and I graduated second.
But look where we are now.
I'm a chief prosecutor, and you're just a lawyer.
What have you gained
from defending people like Hwang Jung-ho?
You think you saved all those poor souls?
They were not poor souls.
They were righteous people.
You're driving me crazy.
- You think so? - When business tycoons complain
that the toilets in their cells are dirty,
or when they watch a clock every five minutes
saying time is passing slowly, you grant them a stay of execution,
or release them on grounds of sickness.
Who are you trying to impress?
Can't you act according to your conscience?
Hey.
Every person is different.
Don't think that you're the only righteous one.
If you're a man of conscience,
you should let a dying person get treatment.
As I said,
we must follow the procedure.
Let's go.
Hey, Gwak Moon-heum!
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Accept the request or a retrial!
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Accept the request or a retrial!
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Accept the request or a retrial!
Accept the request or a stay of execution!
Is Mr. Hwang okay?
We should take him to a hospital to kill the pain.
Are the test results in?
Three months at the longest.
(Medical Office)
Jung-ho.
Are you okay.
Yes, let's go.
I'm ready.
Here.
This won't do. Go to court next time.
No.
I'll go today.
I'll take care of it well on your behalf.
You stay here.
No.
I'll go with you.
If you want to go, get a painkiller shot.
It may render you semiconscious, but it'll help ease the pain.
I'm not physically okay.
I should at least be sound in mind.
Let me have a smoke.
You're in no condition to smoke.
- That's not allowed. - I'm about to..
I'm about to die.
Will you just let me have a smoke.
I'm going to die no matter what I do.
It's all over anyway!
Jung-ho. Look at me.
It won't be over until we end it.
It's only the beginning.
Are you not going to get out of this disgusting prison?
You should.
Choi Yeon-soo, speaking.
What?
It's been delayed again?
Unbelievable.
Mr. Hwang can't afford to wait any longer.
So how long?
A month?
That's ridiculous.
(Chungmok Penitentiary, 1991)
Mr. Hwang.
I'm Attorney Choi Yeon-soo.
I don't need a lawyer.
Why do you not need one?
Lawyers are all the same.
They all say the same things.
But you didn't kill your friend.
Everything was decided
when they framed me.
Leave.
A lot of evidence proves
that you didn't set fire to his body,
and push him from the rooftop.
How could you throw a fireball
that weighed over 90 kilograms?
How did you manage not to burn yourself at all.
How come your clothes weren't stained with soot?
The lighter was the crucial evidence.
Why were you holding it when you were arrested?
No!
That lighter
isn't mine.
I said it millions of times
but no one believed me!
Then why did you write up such a statement?
Why did you sign it?
Who did that to your face?
Why would you give up?
Why do you not need a lawyer?
I'm sure it's tough or you
because you were falsely accused of murder.
But because of that,
your fellows are treated the same way.
And now people don't listen to or believe
what the students say.
I'm angry and sad about that too.
Please leave it to me.
I won't give up.
(Restricted Area, Authorized Officials Only)
The retrial has been delayed, right?
Yes.
For how long.
A month.
Detectives beat me,
prosecutors interrogated me,
and judges let it drag on forever.
Sorry, Jung-ho.
I've been waiting for all those years.
I can wait another month.
It's okay.
Thank you for not giving up and believing me.
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Ms. Choi Yeon-soo!
Ms. Choi!
If the court grants him a retrial today,
he'll be the first lifer to be tried again.
Isn't Mr. Hwang coming with you?
The Supreme Court just informed us that the decision has been delayed.
Ms. Choi.
Why have you been defending Mr. Hwang for 29 years?
Why have I been defending him?
That's because I believe..
That Mr. Hwang is a scapegoat.
A scapegoat?
In 1991, the police used excessive force
and killed a college student with a police stick.
There were strong protests,
and the government had to resolve the crisis.
They instigated the judiciary, and the prosecution
to falsely accuse Mr. Hwang of murdering a friend of his,
and used him as a scapegoat.
Do you have evidence?
I've submitted new evidence to the Supreme Court,
but some people constantly delay the decision,
and purposely stop Mr. Hwang from getting treatment.
Who do you think they are?
I assume they're the corrupt police officers,
prosecutors, and judges
who saved the administration back in 1991.
They've all been promoted
to either police commissioner-general,
congressmen, or chief justice in return.
They're all well-off now.
(Hwang Jung-ho is innocent)
I believe they're the ones
who keep turning down the requests.
Will you take responsibility, or what you just said.
Yes.
I will.
Accept the request or a retrial!
Release Hwang Jung-ho!
Accept the request or a stay of execution!
(Attorney Choi Yeon-soo's Office)
The decision on the retrial of Hwang Jung-ho has been delayed again.
And Ms. Choi Yeon-soo, his lawyer, dropped a bombshell on those
who were in charge of the case back in 1991.
Now people are paying attention
to how the high-ranking public officials will react to that.
We forecast that they'll soon file suits against her,
and that this long court dispute
over Hwang's verdict
that lasted for 29 years will turn into a political battle.
They instigated the judiciary, and the prosecution
to falsely accuse Mr. Hwang of murdering a friend of his,
- and used him as a scapegoat. - Mr. Bae.
Who do you think they are
What's going to happen to Ms. Choi now.
Who saved...
This is not right.
I understand that she was angry and frustrated.
But she shouldn't have said the incumbent congressmen,
and the Chief Justice were supporters of the dictatorial regime.
They're all well-off now.
Good morning.
Good morning, Ms. Choi. Good morning, ma'am.
Why did you do that?
We just have to wait.
I felt better when you said that.
- Did you? - I was a bit worried too.
Worrying about her won't be enough.
Now all those people she mentioned
will file suits against her.
You think so?
Gosh, she makes me shiver.
She's just like a bulldozer.
What do you mean?
I mean she never backs off
She's fearless. She just moves forward.
Mr. Kang Choong-mo, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs
is here at the studio now.
- Hello. - Hello.
Many people left comments on our website
after hearing the news that you'd be on our show.
Half of them were criticism
but the other half were compliments,
so I was relieved.
Let's cut to the chase.
The current administration
has recently decided
to push ahead with the plan to found
the Corruption Investigation Office,
for High-ranking Officials,
or CIO for short.
Can you briefly tell us about it?
Okay.
As you all know, for a long time,
many people have suggested the need
to found a special organization to watch
high-ranking officials and their families.
CIO is an organization in charge of investigations and prosecutions
on irregularities committed by presidents,
congressmen, high-ranking judges,
local government heads, prosecutors,
Grade 3 civil servants or higher,
and their families and relatives.
What we're most curious to know
is who'll be the head of the organization.
Have you decided on the nominees?
Well, who will be the first Director of CIO?
That's the most important thing.
All I can say is that we've narrowed it down
to the person most fit or the position.
You've selected the nominees,
but you can't tell us now?
I guess it's a question you can't answer.
Of course, the moment you reveal the nominees,
both parties...
You're here early, sir.
But...
Sure.
They're all amateurs. What can they do with the knife?
It'll be a relief if they can sharpen a pencil with that.
It may be a small knife But you could get hurt if you wield it.
All we need to do is bring a bigger knife.
No need to worry, sir.
You think so?
Goodness.
This is
nicely cut.
Is this the nominee?
(Director Nominee, Choi Yeon-soo)
This one rotten apple could spoil the barrel.
Will the bigger knife work?
To save this country,
we should quickly cut it out.
Don't you remember how those people
including this woman
caused a stir throughout the nation
back in 1991?
If it weren't for me,
this country
could've perished.

Oh.
Ma'am.
Please go home.
What brings you here, sir?
Yeon-soo.
I told you not to be reckless.
He's dying. I should do something or him.
Yeon-soo.
Your life is precious too.

Seung-mi. Didn't you go to Yoo-bin's birthday party?
Dad insisted on having dinner with all of us.
- Let's go. - Let's bet on a basketball game.
The losing team will buy two chickens, spicy and sweet.
I doubt you can beat us.
- Stay or flip! - Stay or flip!
- Oh! - Yes!
All right!
Dad. Don't get in your daughter's way.
Bring it on.
- No! - No!
I won't go easy on you.
- That was close. - Let's go!
- Pass the ball! - Nice! There you go!
Shoot!

- Seung-goo! - Okay.
- Block him! - There you go!
Awesome.
We did a great job today.

Number 8151! Who ordered chicken?
It's us!
Seung-mi. Let's go together.
Jung-hyun
I feel like I'm a bad person.
Why?
To tell you the truth, I feel relieved
when I'm on my way home after work.
I'm relieved because I can go back to a cozy house.
I don't have to be in jail, on a crane,
or in a tent in Gwanghwamun.
I'm relieved that there's a house I can go back to.
There, I can see you and our children.
I live in a totally different world.
That makes me feel sorry today.
I waited for you all day long.
Aren't you sorry or me?
Mr. Kang Choong-mo, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs, is on the phone now.
You gave an interview yesterday.
Please tell us if anything new has come up.
This was decided late last night.
The Director of CIO has been selected.
Oh, really?
Yes. Within the next two months,
we'll appoint the Director of CIO...
They're being ridiculous.
Get out of the way!
I said, get out!
Hey!
Go faster! How frustrating!
Gosh, those punks.
Hey! Get out of the way!
Or go faster!
Gosh.
Darn it.
Hey, go faster!
Gosh.
Did we crash the car?
Darn it!
- Gosh. - We got unlucky.
Why don't you just walk?
Is your car a cultivator or what?
A cultivator?
Is that why it's so slow?
- Get out of the car. - Okay.
All right.
(Cho Seung-jae)
Are you out of your mind, old man.
Hey.
Inquire into the one I sent.
Yes.
Okay, bye.
Didn't your father teach you
to follow the law and respect your elders?
Chairman Cho of Jinseo Group. Is he doing well?
Your mom must be busy filming a drama.
I mean, actress Yoon Se-jin.
She's still beautiful.
How did you know?
You'd better
not drive from now on.
Open your mouth.
Chew on it.
Hard.
Goodbye, sir.

(Name: Choi Yeon-soo)

Thank you.
No problem.
- Take care. - Bye.
Bye.

Now you should
be the president here.
Hey, Mr. Han Seung-goo.
Don't you want to be one?
Why?
Not alone.
I want to do it with you, Dad.
Seung-goo, I'm going to live
a long, long life with you.
I can't live without you.
So you be the president.
I'll be vice-president.
Okay?
You can't live without me.
I'll be president, and you the vice-president.
Let's go.
Oh, it's two o'clock.

And his blood pressure is unstable.

will pay him a visit
before he passes away.

something happens, please let me know.
I've served him for a long time.
I've grown attached to him.

- Hey. - Yes?
I told you to watch the site, not take pictures.
You aren't with the NFS.
It seemed a little strange there.
- Hey, Jung Chul-hoon. - Yes.
Can you or can you not keep
pictures of a crime scene for personal use?
He burned a briquette from this up close,
but he's strangely too still.
And the soju bottles.
Isn't it strange they're standing too straight?
Hey, Detective Jo.
Barricade the area wider.
Okay.
What was that?
The American drama on the CSI.
You've watched a lot of it, haven't you?
Yes, a bit.
I knew it.
Check this out.
This license plate.
It says this car was rented.
It's a typical case of suicide.
People are so selfish.
They cherish their belongings so much
even when they die.
Look at the mess
he caused in someone else's car.
There. His pants are scorched and stuck.
So how is he so still?
- Ouch! - Hey.
Shut your mouth, punk.
Don't blow this up
by speaking nonsense to his family,
and make them want an autopsy.
That will only kill him twice.
The NFS will be here soon.
Go get them.
- Okay. - Hurry on.
Gosh.
That was close. One more time.
Bo-ri, there you go.
Bo-ri, go.
Go! Let's go, Bo-ri!
Good dog. Seung-goo, you're the best.
Bo-ri, come here.
Go!
Dad, give me some water.
Oh, okay.
Here.
Okay.
You've gotten so much better.
Should we give Bo-ri some water too?
Okay.
Seung-goo, where is she?
Oh, where did she go?
Bo-ri.
- Where is she? - Bo-ri.
Bo-ri.
- Bo-ri. - Bo-ri.
(Collection, expenses)
Mr. Bae.
After paying this month's rent,
there won't be enough for our paycheck.
Ms. Choi keeps refusing to take fees.
She receives stuff like these instead.
That's not the problem.
Didn't you get any calls about suits against her?
No.
That's strange.
Politicians and chief justices
should be taking some kind of action
about the humiliation they got.
It'd be nice if they sue me.
Nice?
If they sue me, they will have to prove
that I'm wrong in court.
So are you saying
if they sue you,
the court records and everything will be
revealed to check whether they actually
conspired with the administration?
My wish is to have all that revealed.
It won't be so pleasant or them.
Still, I'm anxious.
Gosh, what's to come has come. Pick it up.
Hello, this is Choi Yeon-soo's office.
Okay, please hold.
Ms. Choi, it's the prosecution.
Hello, this is Choi Yeon-soo.
Yes.
Yes, okay. Thank you.
What did they say?
No way.
They suspended Mr. Hwang Jung-ho's sentence.
- That's great! - Oh, gosh.
- Let me go meet him. - Okay.
- See you. - Okay.
Bo-ri.
- Bo-ri? - Bo-ri.
Bo-ri.
Bo-ri!
Where have you been?
I can't live without you. Okay?
Why would you let her loose?
See? I told you she'd be home.
She's smart indeed, right?
Some mister brought him here.
Who?
He wanted to take a look at the bikes,
so I opened the door for him.
Good job.
Thank you for finding Bo-ri.
This address was written on her collar.
Thank you.
This looks nice.
Is it expensive?
Depending on models, parts, and specifications,
the price may change.
I see you're running this shop with your father.
Yes.
A handsome son,
a pretty daughter, and a cool dog.
Gosh, you must be happy.
Right.
Are you going to look around some more.
Boss, watch the shop.
- Okay. - Bye.
Goodbye. Take care. Come again.
Come to the coffee shop
in front of the bus stop in an hour.
You've got to repay me or finding your dog.
Look.
"Look"?
What do you want?
You'd better pay more attention to your dog.
It followed just anyone.
Does it take after its owner?
Watch what you say, Do Young-geol.

Wait, no.

Slowly, it's okay.
You punks just embarrassed me.
Are you okay, Young-geol.
Darn you little...
What a lunatic!
Stop.
This is enough.
Young-geol!
I'll make you pay for this later.
Who are you people?
Wow.
Your father was awarded for his bravery in the Vietnam War.
Like father, like son.
I asked you a question!
Your father's name is Lee Man-ho, right?
Gosh, what a great son he raised.
Who on earth are you?
Why are you doing this to me?

It's all thanks to my colleagues.
- Outstanding. - Thank you.

Who?
You know who.
It's Kim Tae-yeol.
Kim Tae-yeol?
Of the National Council of Student...
The chairman of the NCSR?
Right.
The whole country is in a ruckus
because of this one commie punk.
He shows up here and there, everywhere.
A few teams of the Company are out to get him.
But they couldn't even get near him.
I'll get him.
Want to have a go at it?
(Today's Afternoon Trials)
(Hwang Jung-ho)
Defense Counsel, you may speak.
This is the last letter Yang Ki-heon wrote
to his mother on June 11.
(Prosecution Stand)
The day before he died,
the postmark was stamped from the post office of Hanguk University.
The letter implies his suicide.
Objection.
The attorney is talking about an assumption, not a act.
Sustained.
The letter is clear evidence that the late Yang Ki-heon
committed suicide on his own accord.
Objection.
The attorney is still assuming.
Sustained.
I have an objection, Your Honor.
This trial is too partial.
The attorney is insulting the court.
Prosecutor Yoo and Your Honor,
you are the ones insulting the court by not admitting this evidence
when it's just too clear.
Look, Defense Counsel.
Pestering doesn't work in court.
But that's what you two are doing.
Quiet down.
Defense Counsel, sit down
or I'll force you to exit.
How wild.
Yes, that fearless attorney
is Choi Yeon-soo who passed the bar exam
at the age of 20.
Take a close look at her.
We're here to see her, not Hwang Jung-ho.
It's said she has Kim Tae-yeol's back.
You might find something if you look into her.
(Court)
I will announce the ruling.
There's clear evidence of murder.
The nature of crime is severely bizarre,
inhumane,
and anti-social.
Nevertheless, he doesn't repent his sin.
The court hereby has come
to the following decision.
Defendant Hwang Jung-ho
is sentenced to death.
What are you doing?
Death? Your Honor.
This isn't your personal slaughterhouse.
Your Honor!
Let go of me!
Your Honor!
Let go! And you call this the court?
Why did you even bother holding a trial?
Your...
How could he do this?
How could a judge do such a thing.
I can't believe this.
It's another bummer today.
You guessed wrong, punk.
There she is.
Where?
Let me see.
Goodness. Where?
- From that flag in the front row. - Yes.
Third from the left.
Oh, she isn't even covering her face.
How gutsy.
(Hanguk University)
(For democracy)
(No more dictatorship!)
Ready, fire.
Goodness, Ms. Choi.
Kang Choong-mo?
Long time no see.
It's been such a long time.
Since Seung-mi's first birthday party.
Right.
Oh, right. Congrats on becoming the Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs.
Goodness, isn't it too late?
Sorry, things have been too hectic or me.
No, I should be the one apologizing.
Acting up to do politics,
I neglected our friendship.
What are you doing here, by the way.
Well, to see Mr. Hwang and stuff.
- Really? - Let's go in.
It's been a long time, Lee Suk-gyu.
Goodness, you snob.
You haven't changed.
Looking great.
You did upgrade your life
by finding a decent girl to marry.
What are you trying to pull?
You're upsetting me.
We've never forgotten about you.
Guess you have.
Even so,
they still think you're one of us.
Don't be stupid. It ended decades ago.
Then why do you still live as Han Jung-hyun?
You know who enabled you
to enjoy the luxury in your upgraded life.
Enough.
Look at the weather.
It seems a typhoon will come any second.
Your vacation is over,
Lee Suk-gyu.
Thank goodness his sentence was suspended.
Good work.
Don't mention it.
There's a retrial left to go through.
Still, he gets to be out in the world.
Yeon-soo.
Come here for a moment.
What brought you here, really?
To ask you for a favor.
A favor.
They want you back, Lee Suk-gyu.
Go back.
Your mission is
to stop this person.
Here, take a look.
Attorney Choi Yeon-soo.
You've been nominated
as the director of the CIO.
What?
The director of the CIO.
The Corruption Investigation Office
for High-ranking Officials.
(Name: Choi Yeon-soo)
(Analysis on Director Nominee of CIO)
Welcome back,
Lee Suk-gyu.

It'll be of big help to rid this country
of any more wronged people.
The country that you, Tae-yeol, and I dreamed of.
Stop the killing!
He wasn't the kind of person who would commit suicide like this.
I have a few questions about Cha Min-ho's case.
Why would you kill yourself?
It means the Company made a move.
Choi Yeon-soo could be in danger.
If you mess with Yeon-soo, I won't stay still.
Goodness.
Do you think you can survive this?
You know who we are!
I...
would like you to take the job.
