Tower of Babel
Prior episode
How... how did you get this?
Regardless how I got this,
isn't it important that I have the will that says Min Ho will inherit?
Get me out of here.
You want to negotiate a deal with me over such a piece of paper?
What if I am carrying Min Ho's child?
I don't have a right. But it's a different story for his child.
And I am that child's mom.
What an insolent wench!
I interrogate you again no matter what.
I'll not get interrogated any more.
Starting now, I will be assisted by Geosan.
Let me take care of it. Now we need to protect Jeong Won.
I'm requesting all the investigation records
regarding Han Jeong Won without missing any.
You brought all this onto yourself.
Arrest Warrant He signed it.
- Hold on - What's the matter with you?
I'm a Western District Prosector.
Hey you!
Ricky is dead.
What if you are in danger too?
You worked hard.
Even after thirty years, this is still in existence...
Well... everything is over now.
Is this really the end?
I'll tell you everything you've wondered about.
How your father died.
Your father, Cha Seong Hoon...
Present
A guest came.
Why are you here so late, Prosecutor Cha?
Episode 13
It doesn't seem you're here to inform me of something good.
You're wrong.
Today is the happiest day in my life.
Because I got to know the truth I've been looking for all my life.
Are you here to tell me that?
Yes.
Is that so?
I don't know what it is but I'm not curious about it at all.
Why do I need to hear such a thing from such a meager guy like you?
No.
You don't need to hear it.
Because it's your turn to speak out.
What?
Tell me!
Why did you kill my father?
Father?
Cha Seong Hoon.
Cha... Cha Seong Hoon?
Yes.
You killed him.
Father.

Were you trying to figure out the secrets of Geo San?
Why? For what reason?
Relationships among Geosan Stockholders
I'm sorry but we have to unload some boxes.
Can you move you car?
Yes.
Are you saying you are Cha Seong Hoon's son?
You?
wondered about why and how your father died
Your father Cha Seong Hoon
was killed by Shin Hyeon Sook
It may be hard to believe, but it's the truth.
30 years ago, I witnessed it with my two own eyes.
There's a picture of a knife in the phone.
That knife was the one that killed your father.
Seong Woon. How did you come here?
Aren't you dead?
Honey... Now what is...
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
I am getting quite old.
When that old man saw you
and said Cha Seong Hoon, I should've recognized you.
Now that I see you,
you look like your father.
Don't say such unnecessary words.
Shin Hyeon Sook, are you acknowledging that you murdered Cha Seong Hoon?
Yes.
Did you really do it?
How many times do I have to tell you?
I killed your father with my two hands with that knife.
You.
Do you feel better?
For finding out the truth that you've been chasing after for 30 years?
Why did you kill him? Why?
Why is that important?
Even if you knew the reason why, what could you do about it?
Is it because you were greedy for my father's company?
Was he an obstacle to Geo San?
I don't care if you give me excuses, tell me! Why did you kill him?
Driver Kim (Ricky) didn't tell you that?
Did he have no time?
Did Chairman Tae order you to kill my father?
Why? Why?
If I don't open my mouth,
you'll never know, Cha Woo Hyeok.
Forever.
Tell me! Tell me!
Take him out.
Sin Hyeon Sook!
I'll make you tell the truth!
Take him out!
Is it this person?
You have to come with us to the station.
I'll go myself.
Madame
Are you okay?
Director Sin. Go tell him to come over.
Ma'am. Well, Director Sin is...
No.
Call Executive Director Go.
Yes, I understand.
No, forget it.
Yes?
Don't bother.
Get out.
Get out! GET OUT!

What kind of person was your father?
Knowing you, he must've been really nice.
He was really sweet.
Was?
He's dead.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's been a long time ago.
Revenge?
Was that what you wanted?
Tae Soo Ho
Tae Yoo Ra
On February 5 in courtroom 213, AttorneyTae Yoo Ra,
daughter of Geosan Group, is scheduled to appear
It's because of revenge.
You approached me on purpose.
I am nothing to you,
It was impossible from the start.
You and I.
Misunderstanding
Tower of Babel
You're seriously pissing me off. Hey!
Did I say something wrong?
I have never snored in my life!
Why did you wake me up, when I was sleeping?
Officer, can you say something? You heard everything.
You guys still have a lot of energy, don't you?
Do you want me to train you before sleep?
If you make any noises, I will let your upper body
float in west sea and lower body in east sea.
- Understand? - Yes.
- Answer again. - Yes!
Come in.
Oh! Prosecutor!
You didn't forget about us and visited us.
He's a prosecutor?
Yes, thank you for your hard work. Let me escort him from here.
What? Yes.
What about the other person?
Who are you talking about?
There must've been someone else who was assaulting our prosecutor.
I don't understand what you're saying.
There was a report of trespassing at a residence.
Trespassing at a house? Prosecutor, what they are saying now...
Is your work going out the way you planned it out to be?
If you're trying to fight, then go back to your seat. I'm not in the mood to talk.
Did you ever even trying to talk or accept my vacation days?
Leave.
Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you don't want to see me.
How about being patient? This is going to be the last day.
- What? - I handed in my resignation letter.
Just sign the letter tomorrow.
If you dont, you don't have to.
I just don't go to work, then.
- Are you crazy? - Now that I am quiting,
let me say something.
Do you know why I followed you
and threw away all the chances for me to walk on the perfect road?
Because I didn't have a place to go?
Did I ever force you to come to me?
I'll sign your resignation letter so get lost!
Because I respected you, more than anyone else.
From the time we were in the Judicial Research
and Training Institute, you were my role model.
Even though you were pretty, you were modest.
Even though you had a bad personality, you were still honorable.
You never showed off your wealth and had humanity.
Stop.
Even when there were nasty rumors going around about Geosan,
I believed that you are not that kind of person.
Comparing to everyone else I know,
you were most brilliant person.
But do you know what kind of person you are right now?
You're slowly becoming like the people from the rumors.
I don't know if you were originally like that or changed into that,
but do not deceive yourself and other people.
Deceive?
Do you even know what that is?
Do you feel unfair that you're deceived by me?
Then, without wasting your time drinking, go ahead take a revenge on me.
As much as you're wronged, or even more than that, take a revenge on me! A revenge!
Do you feel better?
That you found the truth which you've chased for thirty years?
If I don't reveal,
you can't know, Cha Woo Hyeok.
Forever.
Since the phone you are calling is not being
answered, you're connected to voice mail.
Geez, seriously, Hyung.
How could I be in a state of mind to celebrate?
I understand but it's your birthday.
It's not like you can't do anything for it.
Life is like that.
Rather than seeing everything clearly, there will
be more chances for you to be confused with life.
Bring him out.
- What's wrong this time? - How would I know?
Bring him out.
Prosecutor, your time is up, why aren't you coming out?
Come out! Aren't you going to work?
Don't worry about me and do your work.
Why on earth did you have to go to Geosan?
Do you want some Soon Dae Guk? (Hangover Soup)
If you come out now, I'll buy you food.
Do something.
What are you doing?
You put our prosecutor into this kind of place? Are you crazy?
Do you want to die?
What did I do?
Oh My God.
- It isn't like that. - Let go.
Prosecutor, please come out.
It's not Team Leader Jang's fault.
You know that I didn't mean it to Team Leader Jang.
I needed some time to think.
Did you figure things out?
Why did you go to Geosan's territory?
There must've been a reason.
Whatever it is, I am always on your side.
Please eat. Your food's going to get cold.
Yes.
Oh. When I got out of the police station, Team Leader Jang gave this to me.
To give this to you.
Whatever you do, wear this and do your best.
Where? Cheongnam-Dong?
That sounds tempting.
Nevermind, you guys can enjoy, I'll stay back.
Reason? Who knows?
I'm thinking of living carefully.
Who knows how long I'll last.
I'm just going to be crazy and just live.
One second, I'll call you back.
- What are you doing here? - You came?
Why?
You never came to the opening ceremony and now you're suddenly here.
Did I?
Don't misunderstand. I wasn't saying it to offend you.
I was passing by and thought I'd see your face.
I should've come earlier. There's a lot of great paintings.
Isn't this grotesque?
It looks sad.
The corrupted world turned the painter against philanthropy.
The artist made this horrific painting.
Do you know Goya?
- I used to love art when I was little. - Really?
If I grew up in a normal household, I might've studied art.
There are many reasons I chose you. Among those. I
liked the fact the most that you majored in art.
Did you?
Noona? Why is it so hard to get a hold of you? Why aren't you picking up your phone?
He's someone who helps coordinate the art gallery.
It's okay. We promised each other.
Seong W Barber
How long have we known each other?
It was a while ago when I saved you from your brink of death?
Through Executive Director Go, I helped you get released.
I fed you food and gave you clothes.
You're not thinking that you repaid your debt to me already, have you?
If you are thinking like that,
then you forgot your debt.
Kwang Seon, why are you doing your job like that?
Because you're not handling your job carefully enough,
unnecessary issues are appearing.
Cha Woo Hyeok.
You kow who that is?
Kill him. Make sure I don't ever see him again.
Understand?
How are you?
- Unni. - Is your health okay?
I heard that I had a meeting with a lawyer.
I came here as a lawyer.
To represent Geosan.
I'll reject.
Even though I'm offended, I can understand you.
I made a ruckus before.
Do whatever you want.
I'll send someone else.
Jeong Won, I hope that you won't be fooled around like me.
Are you saying that Mother is using me?
We both need something from each other.
No, it's about Prosecutor Cha.
He's not someone you think you know.
You and I are part of his big picture.
We're just accessories that are used whenever needed.
It might be hard to believe me.
I was like that yesterday.
Cha Seong Hoon's Death Related Reports
- Finally you're here. - I'm a bit late.
- Everything's okay? - Yes.
Why did you bring it back?
Han Jeong Woo has a meeting with a lawyer so I was told to bring it later.
- Meeting? - With whom?
- Tae Yoo Ra.
Pardon? Who gave the permission?
Since you were unavailable the Chief Prosecutor did.
What are these?
Prosecutor Cha Woo Hyeok.
He is the son of Cha Seong Hoon who used to be the CEO of Eunwoo Electrics,
which was merged with Geosan a long time ago.
30 years ago, Cha Seong Hoon was killed for a mysterious reason.
No, Woo Hyeok believes that way.
Woo Hyeok believes that my father is the suspect.
He has been planning for revenge on him for 30 years.
It's true that I liked Woo Hyeok.
I also believed that you were the reason for separating him and me.
However, from the beginning,
Woo Hyeok purposely approached me to take his revenge.
Cha Woo Hyeok is a vulgar person who presented coincidences as a destiny
to use anybody he needs.
If I never knew him, I would've believed you.
Right. It might be hard to believe.
You're the one who looks vulgar.
You're so blinded by jealousy that you're accusing the one you used to like.
Please leave.
Do you remember the news report that called you a gold digger?
Do you think he wrote that just because he was a reporter?
Woo Hyeok wrote that on purpose to have some kind of bad impact on Geosan.
If not, how could he be so ill-intended to write that kind of news report?
Unni.
Because of that news report, you had no choice but to choose Min Ho.
You ended up living in misery.
Yet, you want to protect Woo Hyeok?
I don't want to hear anymore of this.
I'm not begging you to believe me.
I just want you to know the truth.
This is the file that Cha Woo Hyeok had on you.
Report about Han Jeong Won
Taken to the hospital on March 24th. The
relationship between Han Jeong Won and Tae Min Ho
doesn't seem very good.
It seems to be easy to approach Han Jeong Won to use her.
Did you get hurt very much?
I am fine.
Are you still denying it?
I don't believe it.
Should I read some more?
Stop... stop it.
I still have a lot left.
I said stop it!
You must be shocked. I'll get going.
I'll come back when you are settled.
We'll talk about the trial then.
I told you not to appear before Jeong Won again.
I was going to but you do know that Geosan took Jeong Won's trial case, right?
I am in charge of it.
I'm going to do my best as her attorney.
But you, as the prosecutor,
are you going to do your best?
Sorry, I have a prior engagement.
You chose Min Ho because of that article.
That's how you became unhappy, yet you still...
want to take Woo Hyeok's side?
Office of Chief Prosecutor
Attorney Tae, thanks.
I did what I supposed to do.
I won't see you to the door. Careful going back.
That damn Cha Woo Hyeok! This bastard...
This crazy...
I ought to this punk...
Manager Woo, come in!
Yes, Chief Prosecutor!
Yes.
Chief Prosecutor is looking for you.
What's wrong?
Even you get serious?
Chief Prosecutor is very angry.
To whom? Is he angry at the prosecutor?
Why?
Chief Prosecutor gets angry habitually, so why worry?
This time is different.
I have a bad feeling about this.
It feels like it will cause a letter of apology.
A letter of apology?
Perhaps bigger than that.
Office of Chief Prosecutor
Chief Prosecutor.
Did you like it?
What's wrong?
Didn't you hear me? Do you like THAT (s♪x)?
Tell me the reason.
Look at this with your own eyes.
Take a look at what you've been doing!
Is this what Sunbae Tae Yoo Ra brought?
You crazy bastard. Why is it important who brought it?!
What the heck are you doing as a prosecutor?
You have an affair with a murder suspect?
Professionalism or ethics, you couldn't see anything?
Is this what you amount to?
Why did it have to be Han Jeong Won?
Of all people, why did it have to be that woman?
This punk...
I am sorry to have caused you worry, but this is my personal life.
What personal life between the prosecutor and the defendant?
What do you it'll happen if the higher ups know about this?
Do you know how much I had to beg to stop Tae Yoo Ra from spreading in the media?
You are on a medical leave as of today. Indefinitely!
Your illness, you make it up your own.
The case is ongoing now!
That's why you need to be off of it. You getting
off the case is Tae Yoo Ra's condition.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Chief Prosecutor!
Get out. No, no you stay right there and don't move.
It's me.
Send some people to my office.
Don't delay even a second to kick him out as soon as he's packed.
You hear me?
- Do you hear me? - Yes.
Ja Hee, what kind of a situation is this?
What is this about?
Prosecutor.
Don't come out. I'll be in touch.
Do you think the higher ups are complaining because he pushed for self defense?
That's the prosecution rights. Who'd complain about that?
Then what could it be?
Either he did something outside of his rights
or he may have done something he shouldn't have?
Let's... not speculate on something we can't understand.
That's how misunderstanding happens.
Interrogation Room
Prosecutor.
Seoul Western District Prosecutor's Office
Prosecutor. We'll be in trouble if you do this.
It'll only take a minute.
Going somewhere?
Why are you doing this?
What are you gaining by doing this?
I got it all.
I got you off the case because you are fooled by your
personal feelings when you're on duty, didn't I?
I only need to defend Jeong Won from Geosan's position now.
With all my might.
I am going to do my best as her attorney. But you, as the prosecutor,
are you going to do your best?
You'll do your best, you said?
You are not going to defend Jeong Won now, are you?
You just realize it now?
But what to do?
You are not the prosecutor for the case. Don't you need to go?
What are you doing?
Don't be too harsh on me. It's all Geosan's will.
Get him!
Stop right there!
Cha Woo Hyeok!
Block them!
Let's talk.
What are you doing?!
Jeong Won. You must not accept Geoson's defense team.
They are not doing it for you. Do you understand what I mean?
Did you use me?
Pardon me?
Did you approach Geosan to take revenge for your father?
How do you...?
Am I correct?
Cha Woo Hyeok. Open this!
You crazy bastard. Open this door!
I'll explain that later.
What's important now is that I can't protect you.
You must not take Geoson's defense team.
You spreading rumors about the sponsorship...
was it for your revenge, too?
That is...
Us coming to meet...
was it coincident or intentional?
Tae Min Ho married me to take Geosan and
you approached me for your revenge.
You both are the same.
It's not like that.
It may be so in the beginning,
but my feelings towards you are sincere.
Please leave.
Get out. I said get out!
Civil Service ID: Cha Woo Hyeok
Where to? Available
Customer? Where to?
To my house.
Pardon me? Where?
What house?
Prosecutor Cha is on medical leave as of today indefinitely.
Where is he hurting?
Ask that of the person who is sick.
And what you saw today is nothing, so don't be curious about it.
Do you understand?!
Yes.
What's with him?
What did Prosecutor do?
This is what I think.
What is it?
Let's go.
Director Park has given up.
Cleanly?
He said he'll pour everything into your promotion.
Good job. It's all thanks to your good work.
Not at all. I only followed your direction.
- Secretary Kim? - Yes, President.
You can tell my mother up to this point.
Pardon me?
But what I say from now on,
whether to tell my mother or not,
you should think carefully and decide.
What are you talking about?
How far do you want to climb up the ladder?
You only get one chance.
Is it me or my mother? Choose.
Something nice going on?
No, well...
No, well?
It seems the people of Geosan are finding their places.
Me too?
Had I found my place a bit sooner, would you really have painted the picture?
If I had painted the picture,
I probably couldn't inherit the Geosan.
Still...
would you have chosen me?
You and me both don't have the right to choose.
Isn't that why we've drifted to here?
We didn't have anything we could do on our own,
except for breathing.
You are right.
I am tired.
Have you decided?
About what?
Our divorce.
Mother
Uh, Mother.
How is the trial preparation going?
Don't worry. It's going well.
With what and how?
I had Prosecutor Cha Woo Hyeok taken off the case.
When and how?
I am in the meeting now.
You did well anyhow.
It's for Jeong Won, but it is for Geosan and for
your brother in the grand scheme of things.
There must not be a mistake, understood?
I am busy. I am hanging up.
Why did you go to the airport?
Tell us why.
Were you planning to flee?
Please give us a word.
Do you accept the murder charge?
Jeong Won! Jeong Won!
Please give us a word.
Why did you go to the airport?
Why did you do it?
Jeong Won! Jeong Won!
Why did you come here?
Jeong Won.
Tae Min Ho married me to take Geosan and
you approached me for your revenge.
You both are the same.
What kind of person is he?
How would I know? It should be either one thing or another.
Either he was shunned or came to commit suicide.
How can you say such a thing? It's awful.
Hello!
Officer, you came?
Do you want to eat some ramen?
That's okay. Where is that person who came from Seoul?
Where? He is somewhere around there.
Probably fishing.
Enjoy your food.
I have to find something out.
What did you tell Officer Kim for him to come all the way here?
What are you going to do if he can't handle it?
You little.
Watch out what you're saying.
We don't want to deal with a corpse.
What is this?
Please have a seat there.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
Cha Woo Hyeok?
Yes.
The person rejected the interview.
I don't think you can meet her.
You! Stop right there!
Grab him!
I'm seeing you a lot more often.
Stop. You can leave.
Recently I heard that you have a lot of time on your hands.
Even if you do, how can you abruptly come here with no manners.
It's not like you can find out the truth about your
father's death, just because you show up here.
Are you that curious?
Then ask your father when you go to hell.
What are you doing?
I came here to ask you for a favor.
You? To me?
Since threats won't work, you're trying to beg?
How amusing.
Today...
I didn't come for my father.
What do you want?
Please take Han Jeong Won out.
Who? Jeong Won? Our Jeong Won?
Our Jeong Won?
If it's Geosan's power,
No. You can do whatever you want if you desire to do so.
Why do you want Jeong Won... why?
If you do,
I'll no longer question you about my father's death.
I won't even ask till the day I die.
Are you?
It's like that? You guys are in that kind of relationship?
Since when? How?
Please help me.
I beg of you.
It's like that?
It was like that.
For 30 years, you told me there wasn't a day you stopped
thinking about why your father died.
Now you're giving that up for Jeong Won?
I'm so sorry to tell you this, Woo Hyeok.
I don't want to do you a favor.
Madame.
Don't be so disappointed.
Instead, I'll tell you why your father died.
Cha Seong Hoon, that man.
The reason why he died
was
because he loved me.
He
Loved me.
Tower of Babel
Is the preparation for the trial going well?
Don't worry. Nothing serious will happen.
Are you sure that you just don't want to defend me?
What kind of deal did you have with Jeong Won?
What is the reason for her to act so shameless
when she should be begging us to save her life?
Are you that furious for Cha Woo Hyeok to be taken away from you?
What an imbecile you are.
Take your hands off of Jeong Won's trial and resign from your position.
Don't intervene. I told you not to intervene anymore.
What do you want from me?
A guilty feeling? Do you want me to apology?
Do whatever you want.
I will gnaw at your beloved son's throat,
and cut off his life line.
It's me.
