(Episode 26)
(Controversy around Yoon Seung Ro about Intervening in a Case)
Where are you?
It seems like Jang Do Han has been freed.
That's not what's important.
The girl is heading to Si Wan's house.
The girl?
Se Won?
Who is it?
I'm Si Wan's friend.
Who is it?
It's Si Wan's friend.
Hello. I'm Jin Se Won.
- Are you Si Wan's friend? - Yes.
Hi.
There's going to be fireworks tonight at Han River.
We're going to watch from the rooftop.
Okay.
Let's go. My room is this way.
Your house is huge.
How about his phone and computer?
He must have formatted everything.
I can't hack into them.
There must be a reason why he brought Se Won to his house.
We have to look into his house.
Wait, he might be just trying to provoke us.
If we act rashly, this could go wrong.
But we can't just stay still.
You must draw often at home too.
Sometimes.
What's this big frame?
Do you draw paintings this large?
Yes. But not yet.
Did you get what I asked you?
Here.
I didn't mean to give you errands.
It's all right.
It was on my way here.
We should set them off...
while watching the fireworks.
Every one of them?
We could use the rest later.
I would like to call Prosecutor Jang from Seoul Office as a witness.
Does the ruling party agree?
We need some time to discuss.
All right.
We'll adjourn the hearing...
and continue after 30 minutes.
You were the one who anonymously tipped us.
I'm sorry I had to tell you now.
I thought you were his loyal subject who did everything he asked.
I didn't expect you to help me.
I'm not the one helping you.
You are the one helping me.
I'm the one putting you on the witness stand.
I'm the one who gathered those witnesses.
If you gathered them, you should've taken care of them too.
They're all gone, and it's just you now.
Senior Prosecutor Oh...
didn't show up.
(Chief Prosecutor)
So is Detective Nam's case closed?
What can we do?
We've got so much on our hands.
I didn't know he would kill himself.
It didn't seem like he would do that when he was under investigation.
That idiot only did favors for another. That idiot.
He always did things as he pleased,
and that's how he died too.
(Restricted Number)
- Yes? - Can you get a hold of Se Won?
She won't pick up my calls.
Why are you suddenly asking about Se Won?
Did something happen to her?
She's with Si Wan.
What on earth are you talking about?
She told me that she'll never see him.
Did...
Did she... Did she lie to me?
- That idiot... - It looks like...
her friends were hard on her at school.
And Si Wan used that.
What do you mean, they were hard on her?
Are you saying she was left out as an outcast?
She didn't show any signs.
I think it was hard for her to tell you.
I did ask her about school,
but she was always grumbling.
I thought things were going well...
because she was going to school without a problem.
A mother can't know everything,
and it's not like you can always protect her by her side.
And I'm sure...
things were harder for her because her mom is a detective.
Anyway, please check and see if she is all right.
Okay, hang up. I'm calling her now.
I'll fill up this space.
(Mom)
When will the fireworks begin?
- I'll go and check on the rooftop. - Okay.
Where's Si Wan?
He went up to the rooftop.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Did you say you're Se Won?
Yes.
Si Wan never really talked about you.
How did you two become friends?
Well, we were...
in the same class, but we never talked.
We got closer thanks to him.
Thanks to Si Wan?
He helped me out a lot.
We came to know that we had a lot in common.
We both like to draw too.
Oh, you were the one who drew Si Wan.
Yes. I wanted to give him a present.
Si Wan seems like a great kid.
Someone drew it for me.
Who? A friend at school?
A friend?
You never brought anything like that home.
I guess you like that friend.
I guess something fun will happen if I hang out with her long enough.
Okay, then. Have fun.
Thank you.
You can't call out a witness when your hearing isn't finished.
That can cause a problem.
But you came to see me despite that.
I guess you just found out Prosecutor Oh changed his mind.
I warned him so many times,
but people don't really listen to what I have to say.
They have no idea...
how they will be abandoned in misery like Detective Nam.
All you can do is...
ramble on for a few minutes with that mouth of yours.
But I don't even need to do that.
Even if I don't say anything, people already know...
what I'm capable of.
That's what power is.
Those people will...
find out after this hearing...
that you don't have much time left to overuse your power...
however you want.
Detective Nam is dead,
and Prosecutor Oh is on my side.
What can you testify by yourself?
You will find out soon enough.
No matter what you say,
you have no evidence to back up your claims.
Who will believe you?
At least...
the world will learn about...
what you did.
They will learn about it,
but in time, they'll also find out I was falsely accused.
They'll turn back and feel pity for me.
Why don't we...
stop all these unnecessary damages?
Your dad.
I will put him on a parole.
Are you asking me...
not to stand as a witness in return?
One more condition.
You must take in Jo Soo Ji.
Can you cut off the security cameras?
I can't do this anymore. I have to go in.
What's wrong? What happened?
Soo Ji.
Tell me. What did Si Wan do?
I saw... I saw his drawing.
Was it...
of Yu Na?
You were right.
Si Wan killed Yu Na.
The fireworks began.
Did something happen?
Your friend suddenly rushed out.
I don't know.
Maybe she didn't like my drawing.
What drawing?
Of our neighborhood.
She wouldn't leave in a hurry over a drawing like that.
Maybe she saw it.
Saw what?
The drawing inside it.
Is the hearing going well?
Yes.
Everything's fine over here. Don't worry.
Honey.
It's no time to say this, but I might have to...
wait too long if I don't tell you now.
Tell me what?
Si Wan's acting strangely.
What do you mean?
He might do something again.
- "Again"? - A year ago.
The girl who fell from a rooftop.
That was...
Si Wan's doing.
What proof do you have?
I saw it.
Si Wan knew the girl was dead,
and he smiled.
You were mistaken.
You don't know what Si Wan's like.
To you, he's just a smart and obedient son.
That's just...
the side he shows you.
To please you.
Are you saying the Si Wan you know...
is a murderer?
Honey, he's our son.
It's impossible.
You never believed me,
but he was always like this.
He had no qualms manipulating,
hurting, and abusing others.
We coddled him, and covered it up.
The other kids provoked him.
You were always extra sensitive about Si Wan.
Are you starting up again?
Will you please see the truth?
I'm scared of him.
You have to head back.
Let's talk when I get back.
Think and act carefully.
Shouldn't you save your dad at least?
It's your last chance.
Call Soo Ji,
and bring her out.
(Jo Soo Ji)
What a relief.
She found out what Si Wan is truly like.
What's this?
I got it on my way back.
You told me that...
you fought with your sister because your parents...
got her makeup and not you.
Now, you're an adult and can wear all you want.
Don't you like it?
And this too.
What's this?
A lovely, pink phone that suits you perfectly.
The ladies love this color.
I got one as well.
What for? It must've been a hassle registering it...
under an alias.
I'll give it to Soo Ji then.
No. It's pretty.
I like it.
You can't even own a phone.
It's hard living a normal life right now,
but once we nail Yoon Seung Ro,
we can be normal again.
Can we go on dates and eat at famous restaurants?
Yes.
You can dress up and wear makeup.
Smile when you want,
cry when you want.
Like that.
And people won't report us.
You bet. They'll just be envious.
I won't be able to go back to before it all happened.
We can't,
but we can be happy in a different way.
Se Won.
Mom.
Hey.
If it gets too much for you,
you should just tell me so.
I'm your mom.
What? Why are you crying?
Don't cry.
Se Won.
I'm...
sorry I didn't know anything.
Okay?
I'm sorry I left you all alone.
Don't cry.
Si Wan.
I wanted to borrow one of Dad's books.
Who said so?
What?
Did that woman say...
I'd do something again?
Is it true?
That girl you brought home today.
Is that why you befriended her?
What will you do if it is?
Won't you and Dad cover it up for me?
- Si Wan. - You know I can't hold back...
when I get irritated.
I don't know since when,
but the fugitive woman bothers me.
I want her to know there are things she can't protect...
however hard she tries.
Now that I know, I won't let you get your way.
What will you do?
Call the police?
Do you want people to know...
your son's a monster?
- Si Wan. - No, right?
Deal with it for me.
I'll be what you and Dad want.
A good, smart,
and obedient boy.
I dropped Se Won off at home.
Si Wan won't get his way this time.
Right.
It's pretty. Did you get a new phone?
It's a present from Kyung Soo.
You don't like what he got you.
No.
He gave me some great presents.
And he said that when it's all over,
we can be normal and happy together.
Then why the sad face?
I feel guilty.
I'm glad that I survived.
I'm so happy that...
I'm alive and breathing.
I feel terrible for my family.
Bo Mi.
It's worse if you feel sorry and guilty.
Your family will want you to...
be happier than you ever were before.
Will they really?
Yes. Of course, they will.
(Jo Soo Ji)
It's me.
Isn't the hearing on?
We adjourned.
Where are you?
At the office.
I'm with Bo Mi and Kyung Soo.
I think they discussed the future.
I only focused on taking down Seung Ro and his son.
I couldn't think about what would happen next.
They're better than me.
What...
will you do?
I don't know.
I guess I'll have to take responsibility for everything...
I did along the way.
The people I harmed in big ways or small...
deserve compensation.
Even so,
I'm glad we got to get this far.
I don't know how it will end,
but you did great.
Assemblywoman Chae.
The witness you summoned.
The ruling party agreed to let him speak.
Where is he?
He must be occupied. Please give us a little more time.
Are you listening?
I...
deceived you.
Assemblywoman Chae.
I think we waited long enough.
I apologize.
Let's move on.
Let's move onto the next witness.
It's our leader.
I'm sorry I'm late.
I should have told you.
There's something I kept from you.
What's that?
Is it about my daughter?
I'll tell all at the hearing.
Watch it on TV.
I swear that...
in this Confirmation Hearing held by the National Assembly,
as a witness,
I will tell the truth without adding or omitting anything...
according to my conscience.
If I lie, I accept the punishment of perjury.
Why is Jo Soo Ji so obsessed with revealing the chief prosecutor's...
corrupt doings despite being a fugitive?
Is it as she said?
Was her daughter's death not an accident?
No.
The chief prosecutor's son, Yoon Si Wan,
killed her daughter.
Did Yoon Si Wan commit murder?
Yes. And the chief prosecutor...
told me to wrap it and cover it up quietly.
I did as I was told.
This is a hearing.
The people are watching.
Do you think it's right...
to slander a man over a case...
in which there is no evidence left?
There are no evidence or corroborative witnesses.
This is a conspiracy theory built around an old case.
On May 5, 2016,
Yoon Si Wan took seven-year-old Yu Na,
Detective Jo Soo Ji's daughter, to a rooftop.
I saw them myself.
I could have...
prevented the murder.
I could have saved Yu Na.
However,
I did not.
