Episode 16
It's not true.
It can't be, Seong Gyu.
It's not true... It's not true.
Jeong Woo... Open the door.
Jeong Woo.
How is Seong Gyu?
They took him to the hospital, but...
About that...
Lee Seong Gyu committing suicide...
Prosecution Service
This morning, inside the holding cell at the Office of the Prosecutors,
the dead body of Lee Seong Gyu, the suspect of the Wolha-dong murder case, was found.
What was the cause of death?
We believe it was suicide.
Why did the suspect, who's been claiming he had an accomplice, suddenly commit suicide?
We believe that since CCTV footage showed us that the suspect acted alone,
and the recording of him threatening Prosecutor Park
Jeong Woo surfaced, he started to feel cornered.
Then what is going to happen to Park Jeong Woo?
Isn't this a case that you investigated?
If it's revealed that Park Jeong Woo isn't the true culprit, what will you do?
I will answer that after the retrial.
Chief Prosecutor, Seong Gyu definitely didn't commit suicide.
That's what I think, too.
But there was nothing on the CCTV,
The only time the post was unmanned was when
the guard on duty went to the bathroom.
It was Cha Min Ho's doing.
I'll look into it further. The result of the autopsy will soon come out, too.
Lawyer Seo Eun Hye, please continue to take care of Jeong Woo's retrial.
I will.
The prosecution will conclude Lee Seong Gyu committed
suicide, and that he's the sole perpetrator.
That's just the result Cha Min Ho wanted.
No matter how, he wanted to block himself from being tried as Seong Gyu's accomplice.
If that happens, and you admit to it,
at the retrial, you can be found innocent...
No.
By the way, you were startled, weren't you?
This... They were playing a joke on you.
Change into this.
Strangely enough, you liked this a lot.
Drink this too, then let's go out to exercise.
Hyung, why should you die?
You didn't do it.
I'm saying it wasn't you.
I did it. I did.
Hyung Jeong Woo, I don't trust anyone.
You must come.
Hold this.
Hurry and go. I'm okay.
Seong Gyu.
Yes Deputy General, please conclude it that way.
But Park Jeong Woo will get out.
We have to put out the most urgent fire first.
Yes.
The prosecutor's office will request an arrest warrant for CEO Cha Seon Ho today.
This contains the details of your father's slush fund.
Most likely, he won't be able to get out unscathed.
That's right, I did it.
You terrible girl...
- You... - Father.
The person who turned data over to the prosecution is her.
- I know. - What?
- You knew? - Yes.
Then why are you leaving her alone?
Go now.
You did that to your brother,
and now you're going to ruin Chamyung?
Ruining Chamyung is your doing.
- What? - You're the one who's ruining Chamyung, Father.
How dare you...
When your brother died, I was wrong to close my eyes to it.
I was wrong in taking care of that knife, too.
I made the wrong decisions.
Whether I kill my brother... No matter what I do,
all you care about is Chamyung.
Because of me, you were only worried that something bad would happen to Chamyung.
This bastard!
You should stop now.
You...
I'm no longer the Cha Min Ho who gets hit and cries. I'm Cha Seon Ho.
Make up your mind. If you want to keep on living as Cha Seon Ho,
then admit to all the charges like you promised, and go inside (I.E. TO JAIL)
or go as Cha Min Ho, after revealing everything you did.
No. I won't go in there as anybody.
This is the chronology of your slush funds.
If this gets out, you won't remain unscathed, either.
What are you doing?
If you're going to insist on sending me, you'll have to go with me.
What will become of Chamyung without you or me?
Cha Min Ho.
That Chamyung you love so much...
If someone has to make a sacrifice for Chamyung,
then think about who is best suited for that.
All of it... all of it was for the two of you.
For us?
In all my life, I never wanted Chamyung.
It's probably what you wanted.
I endured so much pain because of you.
Why did I become like this? Why?
Stop it!
You don't need a son. You just need someone who will inherit Chamyung.
Since my brother is gone, I'll stay at Chamyung.
Think carefully about what would be best for Chamyung.
Min Ho... Min Ho...
Father.
No.
Father.
Min Ho...
Father.
Seon Ho also helped me.
Nobody knew.
This time too, nobody will know.
Just once, save me.
Thank you, Father.
I will protect Chamyung.
You can't...
CEO.
Oh, Father isn't here.
Pardon?
But he told me to come here.
He told me to come over as well, but unfortunately he isn't here.
But...
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
Chairman Cha Yeong Woon
Cha Seon Ho
Father.
The sudden death of Chairman Cha Yeong Woon
has wrapped up the prosecution's investigation regarding Chamyung Group.
It was revealed that Chairman Cha ordered the
accounting fraud and slush fund creation.
Accordingly, the prosecutors decided to release CEO Cha Seon Ho.
I'm sure you are very heartbroken.
Thank you for your hard work.
Yes.
I will ask you one last question.
Defendant, the late Lee Seong Gyu killed your wife, Yoon Ji Soo,
kidnapped your daughter Park Ha Yeon, and then
threatened you. Is it true that he's the real culprit?
Defendant, please give me an answer.
Hyung, we have to do it this way.
That's how you can clear your name and go back to Ha Yeon.
Yes.
That's correct.
Defendant
Two months later
Cha Seon Ho's Inauguration as Chairman of Chamyung Group
Hello, CEO Cha Seon Ho.
Ah, no, isn't it Chairman now?
Long time no see.
How may I address you?
Of course I am Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo from the Violent
Crimes Division of Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.
Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
Why are you having such a lavish and gigantic
inauguration when you won't even last a month?
Well... I'm not sure.
Whether it be a month or ten years, you should just wait and see.
Prosecutor Park, I heard that you came back under the condition
of keeping your hands off matters of Chamyung Group.
Have I ever touched Chamyung?
I just chased after one guy, that's all.
Oh yes, our Min Ho. I'm pretty sure you've already looked into it,
but I guess something went wrong with the thyroid
surgery so my throat doesn't feel as it used to.
My voice doesn't come out the way it used to either.
And my hands, well, I'm sure you know all about that.
And the dental records also disappeared because there
was some kind of problem with Chamyung Hospital.
I even think that things turned out to be rather difficult.
Why don't you just join Lee and Park (LAW FIRM)?
Oh nevermind that. I think Chamyung Group's legal team would be better.
Chamyung Group Legal Team, Team leader Park Jeong Woo.
That sounds good. You can also go with me to the
prosecutors and be my defense lawyer as well.
I will make sure to accompany you when you go to court. As a prosecutor, of course.
As a prosecutor?
But listen here, Prosecutor Park. If I live a quiet life
for the rest of my life without causing any trouble,
and never have to go to court because of that, what are you going to do then?
You're going to live quietly, eh?
I've never caused any trouble, anyway.
I just happen to cause certain incidents from time to time, that's all.
But don't you think this is really fun?
It's not like there's anybody that doesn't know my true identity,
but they are acting as if they don't know anything.
Except for one person.
What's wrong with the taste of this food, eh?
Maybe it's because of whom I'm eating with.
Let's pay for our own meals.
Oh my, I only have 5000 won.
I wonder if 5000 won will be enough.
Let's see each other again.
[YOON JI SOO]
Ji Soo.
Money? I can be the one making the money, you know.
That's not such a big deal.
You look the most awesome when you are working as a prosecutor, you know?
Don't you dare think about anything else.
Mom, I love you. Yoon Ji Soo
Yes. I will definitely make sure that he pays for his crime.
Tae Soo took leave from work and is taking care of Ha Yeon. So is Mother-in-law.
So don't worry about us down here.
I miss you so much, Ji Soo.
[LEE SEONG GYU]
Seong Gyu.
I believe in you too, Hyung.
You believed in me as well.
Once this is all over...
please let me see Ha Yeon one more time.
Ha Yeon told me that she misses her Uncle Seong Gyu. Ha Yeon. Uncle Seong Gyu
The next time I come, I will bring Ha Yeon along with me.
[HA YEON AND UNCLE SEONG GYU]
When will you be coming back after going out
like this, huh? After eating some dinner maybe?
Ah, seriously.
Since I'm going out and all, I should just breathe in
the fresh air from outside with both of my nostrils
and go "Ahh"... So probably sometime tomorrow morning?
Don't end up here (IN JAIL) anymore. You should make a fresh start too, Rockfish.
Even if I do go out, there's nobody to welcome me.
Nobody will hire me for work either.
This is the easiest place to live.
Everyone is in the same position too.
But you should still look for other means to
live. Who knows, someone might just hire you.
I will do that, sir.
He's acting like this now but he will go right
back into the local jail by tomorrow morning.
But this punk Bundle. There's no word from him after he got out!
They say money changes people.
Now, 2835, come out.
Yes.
No need, no need to see me out.
Hey, don't come back.
Eh, if I don't, you'll get sad and cry, "Rockfish, Rockfish!"
I'm going to get out soon, too.
Then what will our Elder do?
Don't worry about me and just go.
Okay, okay. I'll be back soon. Be back soon.
I'm going.
I'm really going now.
Go, punk!
Woo Byeong Joo.
Yeah, Woo Byeong Joo.
That's right. I haven't heard that name in a long time.
Let's go.
Yes. Please take good care of those two.
He's coming.
Hey, Chang Soo!
Father.
Oh, you suffered a lot.
It must have been very difficult.
True Correction, Bright Future
Sorry.
Hey, Rockfish.
Hey, you!
You can't even recognize your cellmate?
Hey, eat this.
I'm going to go right back next month!
Hey, why this stuff? I said I like it here!
You crazy punk. Just eat it. Here.
Let's go. I'll buy you something good to eat.
Did you walk here?
- My driver is over there. - Oh, really?
- Are those designer clothes? - No, they aren't.
What is this? It looks cool.
Now that everyone is gone,
the cell is going to get even quieter.
There are times like this and times like that.
Elder, you have an interview.
Interview? Me?
Who is it?
This is the first time you've had a visitor.
I know.
Hurry up and come out.
Hello.
Who might you be?
I'm Attorney Seo Eun Hye who was in charge of Park Jeong Woo's case.
Ah, yes. I've heard about you.
- Please have a seat. - Okay.
Is 3866 doing well?
Yes. He returned to being a prosecutor,
and he's in good health, so don't worry about him.
That's fortunate.
But what brings you to me?
Park Jeong Woo asked me a favor.
3866 did?
Yes.
I have a favor to ask of you.
There's someone in my cell who took the blame on his own just like me.
I'd like for you to take his case.
Me?
It won't be easy.
But why me?
You moved my heart.
You did.
Elder, you have to clear your name, too.
I've already lived twenty years in here.
I heard that you took the blame on your own just like Park Jeong Woo did.
For your wife's sake.
I'm fine.
Well then.
It will be twenty years soon.
The statute of limitations will expire.
Then it will be more difficult to appeal, Elder.
Who was the prosecutor who was in charge?
Now that CEO Cha has become Chairman, does being dispatched to the UN even matter?
Ask him to send you to the Blue House. You can ask for that much.
No, sir.
Do you know what the most important thing is in a prosecutor's success?
I'm not sure I know...
Ability? Someone to pull strings? No.
It is to forget your position as a prosecutor.
Do you remember the prosecutor's oath?
I am a courageous prosecutor who will rid the darkness of injustice.
A warm prosecutor who takes care of the weak and alienated.
A just prosecutor who will only follow the truth.
It sounds good.
But I don't need to be that kind of prosecutor.
That's for people who are born to be that way. Like that punk.
Today is Park Jeong Woo's first day back at work, isn't it?
Yes, he's starting work today.
But why is that punk coming here?
He probably wants to come back. To his rightful place.
As a prosecutor who's more strict with himself,
from beginning to end, I will use all my strength
to serve the citizens and the country.
I hereby firmly swear on my honor.
At ease.
Joon Hyeok.
Jeong Woo.
Nothing has changed from before.
I don't think we have the kind of relationship to be talking like this.
What is it that you want to say?
About Lee Seong Gyu,
do you really think he committed suicide?
There was nothing strange on the CCTV or according to the guard who was working.
And that night, it was only him and you in those cells.
So what should I be suspicious of?
Cha Min Ho.
You know, too. What Cha Min Ho did.
Well, doesn't a prosecutor have to talk about evidence?
For your case, too, I was only trusting the evidence.
Evidence?
You only believed the evidence you wanted to believe.
Hearing this from you, who could only return
to work after being cleared in a retrial,
I'm not sure I like it.
Since you also testified that Lee Seong Gyu was the culprit... aren't you just like me?
First, you probably want to catch Cha Min Ho since you're out.
I can understand that. But what if you can't catch him?
Your friend Lee Seong Gyu... will forever remain the culprit.
Kang Joon Hyeok.
How are you different from me?
One by one, I'm going to re-investigate everything.
Who did what,
and who covered it up.
And when I do, I really hope that you won't be among them.
And if I were?
I'm just saying.
I'm curious what you could do if I were there.
See? Nothing has changed from eight months ago.
And it will continue to be the same in the future.
Fine. Then let's talk again at that time.
Seoul Central District Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo
Prosecutor, aren't you going to have a second one? It will go
with the government policy to increase multi-children families.
Then how about I try tonight?
Good luck!
Investigator.
Prosecutor, I'm here.
Do you know how hard I worked to get him to leave the hospital?
I was afraid I wouldn't be much help since my body is like this.
That's not true.
I feel reassured just seeing your face.
It was really difficult, wasn't it?
It was harder for you than for me.
I want to get up quickly and run with you like before.
That's the way it should be. It will definitely happen.
I'll return everything back to its place.
Isn't it good to be back? I pulled some strings to get you this office again.
Thank you, Chief Prosecutor.
He's in there. It's been two hours since he went inside. And it's that car.
Yo, you look cool.
It was your first day back at work, right?
Now that you're a prosecutor again, let's catch that punk.
I'm sorry, just because of me.
Why are you like this when we're on the same side? It's okay, it's okay.
Look at me. I'm getting around nicely without getting caught.
I'll get my retrial later, too.
As for the charge of escaping from prison... You're
going to give me that, right? Suspension of indictment.
Will you really be okay until then?
Hey, are you worrying about me? And making me feel burdened?
Wow, our nation's prosecutor is worrying about an organized crime gang member.
Is this allowed?
He's out.
I think things are getting quiet for that punk.
Since Chairman Cha died, Cha Min Ho probably
only uses him when there's a problem.
He's the key to catching Cha Min Ho.
Where is that punk going?
Why did he come here again?
When he goes in, it will be a good two hours.
Something is strange.
There are plenty of things strange about that punk.
He always wears the same black clothes everyday with the same hat.
Hey, Park Jeong Woo. With the two of us here like
this, doesn't it feel like we're on an investigation?
We are investigating.
I even get to investigate with Park Jeong Woo. Woohoo!
When we were being chased out of that funeral hall,
when we were running in our socks, wow, we almost got killed.
Don't you remember?
But what's that?
Hold on!
Whoa!
Step on it!
I should have stayed in jail!
Hold on tight!
Wall, wall, wall!
I should have stayed in jail!
Seoul 06RA754
I thought we were dead.
We were lured.
How did they know our location?
No way.
Sin Cheol Sik.
Wow. Wow!
Wow, he's scary. Fearlessly putting this on a prosecutor's car.
This was a warning for me.
- Why? - He wasn't planning to kill us.
If he wanted to kill us, he would have come at us with his headlights off.
That's true, that's true.
Kim Seok.
Yes, Investigator. Can you look up a plate number?
The plate number is Seoul 06RA7541.
It's a dump truck. Quickly please.
You're saying that Park Jeong Woo was after you, right?
He was trying to find anything.
Lay low for now.
Aren't you overdoing it for your first day back?
How are you feeling?
It turned out the way you wanted.
I didn't know Father-in-law would end up like that.
I only wanted you not to get hurt.
When you left me and chose my brother,
I understood. Why you had no other choice.
When your father died, you probably resented Chamyung a lot.
I understand.
Let me just ask you one thing.
Is your revenge complete?
I'm the only one left at Chamyung now.
Don't get the wrong idea. It's not that.
It doesn't matter.
Because Chamyung isn't what I want.
About Park Jeong Woo,
I heard he is prosecuting again.
Keep your promise. No matter what happens,
that you'll protect Eun Soo and me.
My puppy. Not even asking for your mom so as not to worry us.
Such a good girl.
How did your first day back feel, Hyung?
It's just the beginning.
Tae Soo, isn't it suffocating just being at home?
No. I like it because I can see Ha Yeon.
I'll resolve everything so you can go back to work. Just wait a little longer.
Hyung, be careful. My sister wouldn't want you to be in danger, either.
I'll keep watch over you, too.
Thanks, Tae Soo.
Daddy, wake up please.
Is that my Ha Yeon?
Daddy, wake up. You have to go to work.
Ha Yeon, is this a dream?
It isn't a dream.
Grandma!
You don't have to do this starting tomorrow.
He should know that I'm Cha Min Ho.
Driver Kim.
Yes, Chairman.
Let's have a drink later today.
Yes, sir.
Min Ho!
Hyung helped me, too. Nobody knew.
Just once, save me again.
Father, I'm sorry.
Chairman Cha Seon Ho
Chairman Cha Seon Ho. Hyung, are you happy?
In the end, you became the chairman.
Father, I did wrong.
Chairman? Are you alright?
Yes.
Should I move your things to this office?
No, no.
I'm going to keep this room empty for the time being.
Yes, sir.
This is Cha Min Ho's schedule for this week.
Where did you get this?
I have an informant inside Chamyung.
An informant? Who?
I'll tell you later.
- Can you trust him? - Yes, he's trustworthy.
What information can we get?
I'm expecting to receive inside information, personal
schedules and events that Cha Min Ho may be involved with.
Okay. We need something in order to catch him.
His name is Kim Seok. He was probably the one involved in your incident.
He's doing Cha Min Ho's dirty work.
Then, Lee Seong Gyu, too?
Yes.
If we just catch him, we can catch Cha Min Ho soon, too.
After Chairman Cha died, it appears he's being very careful.
It must be a headache for Cha Min Ho, too.
Now that he's Chairman, he's going to be more
concerned about people knowing his identity,
since he doesn't know when it could explode.
Especially Kim Seok, since he's been taking care of everything for him.
Do you have a way to catch him?
Jennifer Lee. She's missing. Before she went missing, she met with Cha Min Ho.
What are you planning to do?
As far as I know, she's the only person missing around him.
She's probably dead.
So?
I'm going to try shaking him.
Cha Min Ho, be sure to find Ha Yeon.
I'll find the knife and get rid of it.
Uncle!
My Ha Yeon! Did you have fun today?
Good job.
Uncle.
Huh?
What is it, Ha Yeon?
I saw Uncle Joon Hyeok.
Uncle Joon Hyeok?
Let's go, Ha Yeon. Grandma must be waiting.
Application for Appeal
I heard that you took the blame on your own
just like Park Jeong Woo. For your wife's sake.
This is nice.
Application for Appeal? Elder, are you going to apply for an appeal?
No, just... someone came and gave it to me.
Just do it. Elder, if you appeal, can't you clear yourself?
Those dead guys are the bad guys.
How could... his own daughter, his own sister, for that long? Those guys...
They're really bad guys! Those guys deserve to die.
Stop that. I'm fine.
Chief Prosecutor, thank you.
Did you get the family's cooperation?
Yes, they want me to find her quickly.
I'll take care of the rest. So don't worry, and come back soon.
Yes, sir.
Director Choi, this is Choi Dae Hong.
If we just find Jennifer, you're saying we can catch him?
But how do we find a missing person? She might be buried or thrown in the water.
That punk knows.
That's a given if he took care of her. Jeez.
How are you going to get him to talk? He doesn't seem like he'll talk.
Just wait a little bit.
Where ever she may be, he's going to personally lead us to her.
The body of Jennifer Lee who has been missing was discovered.
It's been three months since Jennifer Lee entered the
country. Even though she completed her itinerary,
she didn't leave the country. Her family reported her missing.
What is he saying?
That can't be. - The police...
I think there's a problem. That's what it looks like, huh?
We'll know if we follow him.
If the CEO finds out... How was it found?
That bastard is going far.
Cha Seon Ho's Yangpyeong vacation home is nearby here.
Is that right? Then he must've messed up real bad at the vacation home.
If he killed her at the vacation home, it should be around here.
Right, there's no way it was found.
Kim Seok.
Jennifer Lee. She's here, isn't she?
You pushed off my boss, didn't you?
You killed Seong Gyu, too.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Put down that toy. You'll get hurt.
What are you going to do with it?
This bastard.
We should've had drinks sooner.
Take this.
Thanks to you, the transition has been smooth.
It's nothing.
My father was good to you, wasn't he?
Yes, he was nice in many ways.
You must be sad.
Pardon?
- Of course. - Right.
Many things happened in just a few months.
Min Ho went like that, and then Father did, too.
You told Father many things about me.
It's okay. It's all past us now.
I hired you as my secretary knowing you're my father's man.
From now on, I should be able to trust you, right?
Yes, Chairman.
Ah, take it.
Yes.
Yes, I'll deliver that message to the Chairman.
JD's CEO Jung Hyo Seok wants to have breakfast with you.
JD's CEO Jung Hyo Seok...
I'll be meeting a lot of people from now on.
Why don't you head home?
I should stop by headquarters.
Escort him to Chamyung. Be careful on your way.
I had a great time today. I'll see you tomorrow.
Yes.
He's just left for headquarters,
Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
Thanks.
Weekly Schedule
Why did you change your mind?
When I went to see you after Cha Seon Ho died, you said nothing.
At that time, there were orders from the chairman.
What about now?
CEO Cha has been having me followed.
He'll have me killed as soon as I become useless.
I get what you mean.
Who's JD's Jeong Hyo Seok?
What?
Jennifer Lee. You killed her, didn't you?
Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.
What are you talking about right now?
Jennifer Lee. I think I found her.
What?
That friend Kim Seok. He kindly let me know where she is.
I told you, you wouldn't last even a month.
But I guess it won't even be a week.
You speak bullsh*t very beautifully.
Kim Seok
What do you think I did for two months?
Park Jeong Woo!
You're finished, Cha Min Ho.
