We present this prize to you.

They look similar,
but his name is Lee Yong Seon.

It is Lee Jae Sung.

- What did you just say?
- That jerk is Lee Jae Sung!

How is Lee Yong Seon Lee Jae Sung?

No, that's Lee Jae Sung all right.

Why is Lee Jae Sung on the news?

Remember how Ms. Lee said she's
heading to the provincial hall?

Is this why?

Ms. Lee, are you
at the provincial hall right now?

That's not an important event
to broadcast live.

The award ceremony ended
two hours ago.

- Who?
- Lee Jae Sung! No, Lee Yong Seon!

You've already written about him?

Ms. Lee, we're close to the hall
right now. Can you come?

(North Jeolla Province
Volunteer Awards Ceremony)

Here it is!

"Lee Yong Seon has been selected
as 2nd place for Volunteer Awards."

"He has been working as a social
services worker for 10 years now."

"His wife also works as a social
care worker in a private facility,"

"where she takes care of elders
with Alzheimer's."

"The couple has 2 daughters,
a 6 and 8-year-old."

This is great!

We got it.

We've got the records,

60,000 dollars of article funding,

and the real culprit has revealed
himself!

The ugly truth behind the selfless
volunteer, Lee Jae Sung!

Let's publish an article on him
tomorrow.

A murderer has become
a model volunteer?

"Even on weekends, Lee Yong Seon
helps elders bathe,"

"has donated 10 percent of his pay
to an orphanage for 10 years,"

"and has been delivering lunches
to urban renewal areas."

He's received so many medals.

All of this must be a lie.

He mercilessly killed a person.

People don't change.

What if he has?

What? What do you mean?

What if he rose above and became
a better person?

What? A better person?

Shouldn't we rethink our plan...

to expose the bad guy?

"Rethink"?

It was really hard to convince
the captain and Du Shik to get here.

Once facts change,
we need to plan another plan.

What has changed here?

We don't even know what Lee Jae Sung
is really like.

Why are you all talking
this nonsense?

Lee Yong Seon is Lee Jae Sung,
the murderer that killed...

the truck driver in Osung in 2002?

Yes.

He looked so innocent and kind.

Are we introducing a boy idol group
member or something?

He's just putting on a show!

What we see isn't everything,

but I thought so even when I saw him
in the past.

He had an innocent smile,

looked timid, and very kind.

I'm sorry for going back and forth
with my statement.

I lied that I killed a person
to get attention from my parents.

I'm sorry, detective.

Lee Jae Sung.

Just because you go free now...

doesn't change the fact
that you killed a person.

Be a good person.

If I catch you again,

your life will become miserable.

(Violent Crimes Squad 1)

His wife seemed nice,

and he seemed to be close
to his kids.

I'm telling you, it's all a facade.

The residents
even brought him flowers.

- You're as pretty as your mom.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Here.
- Thank you.

They said his kids are kind
just like their parents.

Isn't that rare
at a ceremony for a civil servant?

If we expose him as the real killer,

it will be traumatic for the family
and the neighbors.

What's wrong with you people?

Du Shik suffered for 18 years
because he was framed for murder.

Why should we worry about
the murderer and his neighbors?

Mr. Park, don't get so worked up.

Let's think about this calmly.

I'm not worked up.
It's clear that Du Shik was framed!

We're not sure about who
Lee Jae Sung really is!

So why are you all getting confused?

Let's not get any strange ideas!

Should I look into it?

- Into what?
- I covered the story anyway,

so I'll do it.

He knows who all of you are,

- but not me.
- Yes, good!

That sounds good. Yes.
You should investigate.

Good!

Even if he is kind,
he's still a murderer.

Who knows how he'll change
if he is cornered?

He's right. Not someone as precious
as Ms. Lee. It's too dangerous.

Who here isn't precious?

Also. Once a reporter
has a conviction, you move forward.

Hey, you! You've really become
a true journalist.

Stop talking!

If you want to know so badly,
you go yourself.

Why are you sending someone younger
to that dangerous place?

Why is it dangerous to meet
a model civil servant?

- Right!
- I'll do it!

- Nice!
- Captain, please stop them.

What if he retaliates?

Lee Jae Sung is a scary guy.

Well... From what I see in her eyes,
she seems resolute,

and she sounds like
she'd be good at it.

Darn it!

Don't look down on her
because she's a woman.

Get with the times.

Mr. Park, you've done your part.

Let's trust Ms. Lee on this one.

That's right. I've done my part.

Yoo Kyung's good. Right?

- But Du Shik.
- Yes?

How did you recognize Lee Jae Sung?

Well... It was around 2006.

I met him
at the prosecutor's office.

My mom told me
that the real killer was caught,

so I thought I could get out soon.

The prosecutor called me
into his office.

- Go back to work.
- Yes, sir.

(Prosecutor Yoon Hee Sung)

Lee Jae Sung, sit across from him.

This is the final meeting
before we close the case.

You're the same age.

Let's close this case.
I'm sick of it.

Lee Jae Sung.
Have you ever killed a person?

No, I haven't.

Then why did you confess to the cops
in Osung in September of 2005?

Detective Han Sang Man
coerced me to confess.

I said what he wanted me to say.

Kim Du Shik.

Did you kill the truck driver?

No, I did not.

You've been imprisoned
for nearly four years.

- How are you surviving in prison?
- What?

You should be angry
if you didn't kill him.

Are you demanding to be released
from prison?

- No.
- Then?

It was really hard at first,

but it's not so bad anymore.

It's not...

so bad?

You may go.
We have no evidence anyway.

Leave now?

Go! We're done!

But...

Take Kim Du Shik away.

What?

Sir.

Sir!

It must have been so frustrating
watching the real killer walk out.

I say this out of caution.

Do not even think
about going to Lee Jae Sung, got it?

I won't.

Okay. Yoo Kyung will find out
what Lee Jae Sung's really like.

Our plan hasn't changed.
Don't get any funny ideas.

"The shocking transformation
of a murderer."

Let's publish a follow-up
as soon as possible.

We decided to wait
for Ms. Lee's assessment. Stop that.

We already have 70,000 dollars
to sponsor the article.

Mr. Park. People are backing us
like crazy.

We have to think seriously
about naming the real killer.

Stop killing the mood.

Did you forget what happened
with the retrial...

for the Samjung trio?

What? What happened?

Kim Won Bok died!

Even if he was the real killer,
it was still tragic.

And you saw Lee Jae Sung's family.
He has two kids.

This is so frustrating.

How are those two related?

Forget it.

Lee Jae Sung was let go
because there was no evidence.

What evidence do we have
to tell the world he's a killer...

and brand him for life?

It may come back to bite us.

Sam Soo. I'll look into it,
so give me some time.

Ms. Lee. Must you really meet
Lee Jae Sung?

Yes. Isn't that what we've decided?

Seriously. These two reporters
are driving me mad.

I need to take an anxiety pill.

Sorry. I forgot
and brought you home first.

I'll bring your junior reporter
home safely. Don't worry.

And calm down.

Okay, fine.

Sorry for going home first,
Yoo Kyung.

It's okay. Get some rest.

Hi, Captain Han, it's me.

Yoo Kyung should be safe
meeting Lee Jae Sung, right?

I'm suddenly worried.

"Killer retaliates
against a reporter and the police"?

Have you seen that on the news
recently?

That won't happen, so rest assured.

He definitely won't retaliate.

I'll trust you, Captain Han.

- Hi.
- Sweetie.

Did you see? I did it again.

(17-Year-Old Boy Framed for Murder)

People love my writing...

and send money.

I saw.

I sent my dad
the link to the article too.

Okay! We'll catch the real killer,

clear his name, and make money!

Set a date quickly
to meet your father.

What great timing. Yes.

Why are you so worked up?

Well... I have my reasons.

Later. I'll tell you later, okay?

Okay, okay.

I'm sorry. I feel like we've placed
such a heavy burden on you.

Don't worry.
I'm doing it because I want to.

Do you really not know
why I'm acting this way?

I'm really hurt.

I know how you feel. Thank you.

I do know how you feel,
so I'll be careful.

Okay. Thank you for knowing.

Thank you for this too.

I was pretty much a trashy reporter,
writing only advertorials.

I want to do something real now.

Still.

I want to do something...

that makes my heart race
like you and Mr. Park do.

Rather than write articles
that the paper wants,

I want to write articles
that the world needs.

I'm not doing anything right now,

but my heart is racing regardless.

We can do it.

- I'll go now.
- Okay.

I'm a bit disappointed, but...

You should go rest.

I can't rest.
I have to read through this.

Thank you, Mr. Park.

So... I'll give you a ride
when you go to meet Lee Jae Sung.

I'm not washing my hand today.

(2002 Osung Trucker Murder)

- Give me all the money you have.
- What is this?

Gosh!

(Crime scene photo)

Ms. Lee.

Great job covering yesterday's
Volunteer Awards Ceremony.

Oh, thank you.

The governor was very happy
that the article showed...

so many photos of him
with the award winners.

- Speaking of which,
- Yes?

Yesterday, I only covered
the ceremony itself...

and didn't get to interview
the award winners.

How about I interview them?

Is that really necessary?

We need to look ahead.

We'll have to show full support
to win advertisements.

Oh, my. Lee Yoo Kyung.

Are you finally beginning
to understand the ways of the world?

Fine, proceed with it.

I'll interview them tomorrow then.

Hello.

You're whistling. Are you
in a good mood this morning?

"Ms. Lee is meeting with
Lee Jae Sung tomorrow morning."

"Everyone, come
to Wuhyun Interior Design."

Finally, our first contact
with the real culprit!

Honey, will you be okay?

What? Are you worried about me?

You love me so much.

You look scary,
but you're not a good fighter.

All you do is cry.

That's ridiculous.

If I had become a boxer,
I would have won a bronze medal...

in the Asian Games.

Gosh.

Not gold, not silver, but bronze?

You cheated.

Low kicks are not allowed in boxing.

You're like a big child.

What time is it? Why is no one here?

Darn it.

You finally got back to Seoul
after a long exile, and look.

(Prosecutor Yoon Hee Sung)

- What are you going to do now?
- Are you here to tease me?

I've been there myself.

Do you know what kind of people
you should be the most afraid of?

Those who have no money,
education, or judgment.

People like Park Tae Yong
and Park Sam Soo.

My goodness.

They played me.

Gosh, I can't stand the thought
of those two.

Darn it, seriously!

Yoon Suk.

I did my best to solve
the Osung trucker murder case.

I even issued
a search and seizure warrant.

I got in trouble for it though.

(Director Kim Byung Dae)

Hey, you had the nerve
to ignore my orders...

and issue a warrant?

- I'm sorry.
- Thank goodness...

those incompetent cops
failed to find the knife.

What were you thinking?

I went through the case files,

and Kim Du Shik doesn't seem
to be the culprit...

Hey!

Have you not come to your sense yet?

You can't say that to anyone again.

What if someone finds out later?

- Mr. Yoon.
- Yes?

You're still too inexperienced...

and naive.

Well...

Everyone's fault is nobody's fault.

Is the prosecution responsible
for framing Kim Du Shik?

The police should have
investigated more thoroughly.

And what did the court do?

Those obnoxious, stuck-up judges.

Even the Supreme Court
made the wrong judgment,

putting us through all this trouble.

To think how much tax money
goes to training judges!

Let's say the prosecution
and the police did make a mistake.

Then it's the court's job
to put things right!

- What do you think?
- You're right.

All we have to do is
shift the blame...

to the police and the court.

What Director Kim... I mean,

What Advisor Kim Byung Dae
at Daeseok said...

is absolutely right.

"Everyone's fault is
nobody's fault."

- That's very well said.
- Gosh.

What happened in a small town
18 years ago is still haunting me.

Yoon Suk, do you think I should
report this to the higher-ups?

Hey.

I'm sure they're coming up
with a plan as we speak.

Report it but don't get involved
any further.

Gosh!

This is driving me crazy.

I've had my share of experience
with Park Tae Yong.

Let me coach you.

This is why experience is
so important.

Goodness, you country boy.
Look how scared you look.

Why aren't they here yet?
Those punks.

Yes, I see.

Okay.

Prepare a press conference.

Will it be okay?

Even though they threw
the first punch,

but they don't seem to have
many cards.

What should we do now?

Interview Kim Du Shik's
fellow inmates...

and the demolition victims.

And find out
what Lee Jae Sung is up to.

Also, do a background check
on Han Sang Man...

and write up a report.

It's an order from the higher-ups.

I see.

Still, don't we need
something more decisive?

I knew this day may come.

So I've been holding on to this.

What is this?

If something happens, use this.

Are you so worried about me?

I'd buy you a tank if I could.

I feel so safe now.

Make sure to keep it within reach.

The moment Lee Jae Sung
gets aggressive, take it out and...

- Got it?
- Got it.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry my first present is
not romantic flowers,

but an intimidating weapon.

An electric shock is so much
more exciting than flowers.

(Cheongsu-dong
Administration and Welfare Center)

(Social Welfare Services)

Hello, I'm Reporter Lee Yoo Kyung.
We talked on the phone yesterday.

Oh, hello. Thank you for coming
all the way here.

I'd like to first see you deal with
complaints at the office...

and accompany you
when you visit households later.

I'm just doing my job.
I'm embarrassed.

- Sir.
- Yes?

Please write down more details.

- I need your phone number here.
- Okay.

Lastly, please sign here.

- Sure.
- Also...

Thank you so much for the other day.

- I was just doing my job.
- No.

- Did you eat?
- Yes, I did.

The weather is getting cold.

I owe Mr. Lee so much.

If he can't reach me
even for a moment,

he visits me at home to make sure...

everything's okay.

When I was younger,
I got in a lot of trouble.

But my neighbors looked after me...

and guided me.

Without them,
I wouldn't be where I am now.

I'd like to give back the love.

Did something happen
when you were younger?

Nothing special.

Just the usual mistakes
you make when you're immature.

That's all.

Thank you for your time.

I'm the one who should thank you.

Get back safely.

Let me ask you
one last question, Mr. Lee.

Back in 2002, you were living
in Osung, not here in Jeongju.

- That's right.
- Back then, you went by...

Lee Jae Sung, correct?

You're not denying it.

What do you want to know?

September 10, 2002.

What you did that morning.

That's not just an ordinary mistake
you make when you're immature.

It's much more than that, isn't it?

Gosh, I can't focus.

Mr. Park, why are you so restless?
It's not like you.

How can I not be?
Ms. Lee is meeting him alone.

Come on. How many more times
do I have to tell you?

During my 30 years as a detective,

I sent countless murderers
and gangsters to prison,

but none of them
got back at me for it.

I'm still alive and kicking!

But that guy, Lee Jae Sung,

wouldn't come to my house...

and harm my partner or anything,
right?

Du Shik, can you calm the guys down?

I've been in the dark world
for quite some time,

- and I didn't see any revenge.
- That's right!

But this is a special case.

Once Du Shik is proven innocent,

Lee Jae Sung goes to jail
after 18 years for murder...

in front of the whole nation.

You think he'd just take that?

I know.

He has two daughters. Do you think
he'd go to jail so easily?

What's that?

Sorry, I'm late. I was getting this.

Does it look useful?

I'm going to take it around
in my car.

I have to protect myself.

Don't you worry!

You're a little paranoid.

I'm a precious person,

so I need this kind of protection.

Sure.

Attorney Park, have you
been playing baseball lately?

I saw a baseball bat in your trunk.

What did you say?

Really?

Yes.

Where are you going?

- Stop!
- What's going on?

Hey!

Oh, my!

Look at this!

I don't play baseball.

I may be single,

but I've got a nephew and a niece,
two younger siblings, and an aunt,

so I've got five people
to take care of.

It'll be bad if I die!

I'm not being paranoid.

This is all for my family.

How many times have I told you?

Captain Han, what's this?

I see something here.

No need to come.

- Seriously?
- Stop!

Come on.

Captain, this is cheating!

Give it to me.

Why are you snooping around
in other people's cars?

This is nothing.

Back in the days,
I was quite the tough man,

- Hey!
- Hey!

But I'm old now, so I need help
in protecting myself.

This is...

just a tiny little thing.

I even have a muzzle for it.

Come on.

What are you all doing?

- Are you okay?
- Yes.

You and I are the only ones
who are innocent here!

Look at these people.

And they said that there'd be
no revenge!

We're the only ones not armed.
We're the only naive ones.

You don't need any of those.

What do we need then?

A briefing.

Right. Come on. Out of my way.

Let's go.

I don't know if he's faking it
or if he really changed,

but Lee Jae Sung is
a really kind and hardworking man.

Is what we saw on the news true?

Even his neighbors only have
good things to say about him.

Are you sure you looked into this
properly?

I asked him if his name was
Lee Jae Sung,

and he was speechless.

Right.

I don't think I'll be needing
a taser.

What's this?

You have to be careful.

Did Mr. Park get it for you?

Just in case.

How come you only got her one?

Do you have feelings for her?

Right? Meanwhile, he didn't
even get me a hammer.

Yes, he was so anxious earlier too.

What are you all talking about?

Yoo Kyung, watch out for this man,
not Lee Jae Sung.

What a sly man he is.

Sly? I was just worried.

Sly, sneaky, and cheesy.

Yoo Kyung, I'm just saying this
because I worry for you.

Mr. Park may be single,

but do you know how many
family members he's responsible for?

Always beware of men!

Okay.

I got two baseball bats,
one for you and one for me!

Yours is at home.
I'll bring it tomorrow!

Nonsense!

Seems like we'll need to get him
a taser.

Right? He's totally mad and jealous.

All right. I'll win this...

while you're all too busy
protecting yourselves.

The funding surpassed
100,000 dollars!

- What?
- See how hard I'm working?

- Over 100,000 dollars?
- Not only that,

I've got some amazing comments.

Everyone is talking about how cool
all of you are,

and how badly they feel
about Du Shik.

The public is on our side,

so don't you say anything
about Lee Jae Sung being good.

Let me see.
How did it surpass 100,000 dollars?

- Stop being so lame.
- Show me.

Money isn't
the important thing here.

Let's give this money to Du Shik,
who's struggling with no income.

I will now read you the highlights,

the comments.

"What's the truth?
I cannot trust Kim Du Shik."

That's my partner's name.
That's what it is.

Now,

"I'm disappointed that you're siding
with a gangster, Attorney Park."

What's with the comments?

There are just a few malicious
comments here and there.

"The prosecution is holding
a press conference. Explain."

What is this person talking about?

- A press conference right now?
- Turn on the TV!

Kim Du Shik refused to admit
that he's guilty the first time,

but since the second trial,
he admitted that he's guilty.

Not only that, even in prison,
he showed violence...

by mercilessly beating
an inmate up,

causing him four weeks
of hospitalization,

and after his ten-year sentence
in jail,

he joined a gang,

threatening commoners' lives...

by taking a part
in forceful evictions.

I don't know this number.

It must be the news reporters.
Don't pick up.

Du Shik, don't let this get to you.

Let's watch the whole thing
and talk again.

Have a seat.

Han Sang Man, the ex-police
who says he caught the culprit,

abused a man
to get a fake testimony,

then was taken off from the case
by the police.

Even in 2004,
while arresting a person,

he broke four of their teeth
by using violence.

He was a problematic officer.

Mr. Lee, who was framed
as the murderer...

by Han Sang Man,

is living a very earnest life,

serving good to the society.

Sam Soo was wrong.

I knew this would happen
with all the radical things he says.

You're right. The police seem
determined to defend themselves.

Lastly, I'd like to show something
to all of you journalists.

(Osung murder case briefing)

In 2005, former police officer
Han Sang Man...

falsely claimed that he had found
the real murderer.

However, Kim Du Shik, who was
in jail in Gwangju,

admitted that he is indeed guilty...

and sent me a letter stating so.

Let me read it to you.

"Dear Detective An Young Kwon,"

"I'm Kim Du Shik."

I'm Kim Du Shik.

I'm currently in jail,
reflecting upon my wrongdoings.

I've been living every day
with guilt,

my heart apologizing to the victim
and his family.

Thanks to you, I have been
reflecting upon myself.

Please stay healthy.

August 2006, from Gwangju Jail.

"Sincerely, Kim Du Shik."

("Kim Sent a Letter of Apology
During His Time in Jail")

Yeo Jin, when did you get here?

Young Jun!

Young Jun, your father didn't do
such a thing.

We're all on your father's side.

Young Jun!

Du Shik!

Don't worry and don't think
about doing anything else.

If any reporter calls,
don't pick up.

First, let's all head to my house.

People might crowd around here.

Let's get going.

What did I tell you?

We were too busy doubting
the real culprit,

and look where it got us!

Let's think first.

Let's try to put
the puzzle together.

What puzzle is there
to put together?

We have to expose Lee Jae Sung
and attack the police!

What are you going to do
about Young Jun being heartbroken?

Reporters are now calling me too.

It was a disaster in 2012.

Big men came into my house
and broke everything.

They broke all our appliances.

Look at this. This is the scar I got
while trying to stop them.

I was just reading a book
in my room,

and Kim Du Shik came to my room
and started beating me up.

Without any reason!

I've never seen a man
as violent as him.

Mr. Kim, here.

Mr. Park!

It's a disaster.

Sir, it seems like you've taken
care of it nice and quick.

Everything is going perfectly.

Great job on telling the police
to get on this.

If you could just deal
with the court now...

Thank you, sir.
It's all thanks to your teaching.

I'll see you at dinner.

Please schedule a meeting
for court presidents next week.

I knew this would be a good case
to get attacked on,

but things have gotten
way too complicated.

Don't you mean that your head is
complicating it?

Maybe you're worried more...

about your social status and face
than Du Shik, who's been framed?

Hey, Sam Soo.
Why are you being so bitter?

Don't you see how hard
we're working on it right now?

Let's not fight.

We're here to come up with a plan.

Mr. Park, have a seat.

Let's keep it simple.

Is the world that simple?

This is all because we missed
our timing!

We should've exposed him
as we had planned!

Speed isn't everything.

The police made their move
while we were being indecisive.

Isn't the law
what punishes people...

even when someone just steals
a pack of ramyeon?

But I guess your hearts became soft
when you all saw...

a murderer become
an angel of a volunteer?

Why are you trying to judge others
based on the public?

Remember who said that we should
use the public to make our point?

Mr. Park, prepare for
a full-scale media war.

We have to persuade the court
hearing the reimbursement case...

to hand over the case files to us.

That's when we're trying to get
more evidence!

It's completely different
from exposing a man's murder.

Anyone can say anything.

It's the proving part that's hard.

We don't have any evidence
that Lee Jae Sung is guilty.

We have Captain Han...

and records that he's guilty.
What more do we need?

Have you forgotten?

The retrial was deferred when we
tried to use those to apply for it!

Yeo Jin, when did you get here?

I understand how much
you care for Du Shik.

So, let's be as wise as empathetic
we are and come up with a plan.

Hey! If you leave like that,
I'll feel really sad.

Whatever.

I think you're
all confusing something.

When the goal is clear
so is the way to it.

Our goal is...

to prove Du Shik innocent.

Kim Kwi Hyun!

"A Record Time for Raising
100,000 Dollars,"

"But the Truth Is Still a Mystery."

What are you going to do about this?

I believe...

it's Park Sam Soo's article.

What if you're wrong?

No way.

You balding genius.

If this is a big false report,
are you going to resign?

I believe in Mr. Park.

What a faithful servant you are.

I find the police more trustworthy.

Why can't you just focus
on your job of developing an app?

Why are you getting your hands
on the media...

and making this mess?

"Connecting the world for the good."

Isn't that the motto of our company?

I'm going to brighten the world
with my bright talent,

then breathe soul
into the world and media...

that is so corrupt.

Be quiet!

How dare you try to dazzle me
with your big talk?

You better take care of this good.

If this is deemed a false report,

you better...

submit a resignation letter.

Hey, I got 100,000 dollars
thanks to you.

Thank you so much.

I'm Park Sam Soo.

You think that can stop me?

I knew it! You can flip this around,
right?

You have me!

My company has my back too.

I trust you.

Kim Kwi Hyun.

See?

"A reporter who causes
controversies for money."

"A gangster, a hooligan, police,"

"a trashy reporter,
and a high-school graduate lawyer."

"What a team that is."

"They got 100,000 dollars
with a false report?"

"Shouldn't they have to spit
the money back out?"

It's a mess. What do we do?

You know what you have to do, right?

You idiot.

Sam Soo,

there's no bond stronger than ours,

where we push and pull each other
for support.

Don't be shaken. Just keep going.

How am I supposed to be
when you're being so serious?

You know what I'm feeling?
Grossed out by the cheesiness!

Anyway, thanks.

Don't think too much. Get some rest.

You'll lose more hair
if you stress more, okay?

We can do it!

Honey, well,

I think I'll be staying out tonight.
Keep the door locked tight.

Don't open the door for anyone,
even if they ring the bell.

I saw the police press conference,

but I trust you, Park Sam Soo.

You're talented, so prove it.

Like my name says,
truth is the only way to go.

- Okay?
- Okay!

Hi Dad. Don't worry and just wait.

The important truth is
always hidden.

No, not me. I mean the truth
that Sam Soo is looking into.

He's a great reporter.

Please excuse me.
I'm heading to the bathroom.

Tae Sung, I'm fine, so don't worry.

Things are getting bad,
so I'll be busy for a while.

Please wash Jae Yun and Yi Yun
for Sun Min in the morning...

and send them to school for me.

I know you must be tired
from studying too,

but please.

I'm so happy to see you all
for the first time in so long.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I was going to be in big trouble,

but thank you to Chief Justice
and Mayor...

for saving me.

Thanks so much.

I didn't do anything.

No, you certainly have.

My son-in-law,
after getting a taste of it,

has become quite the pecker.

You're funny.

Please excuse me.

I worked with a lot of tough people
for a long time,

so foul language just comes out
and catches me off-guard at times.

You did a great job
in coordinating with everyone...

and responding to it quickly.

Yes.

Seems like you've done
a lot of work.

Thank you.

Nipping right at the bud.

Prosecutor Jang did great...

in moving the police
to take care of this well.

Yes.

It would've been messier
if we had the court take care of it.

The prosecution is indeed
always working in perfection.

The press conference was
so satisfying...

for me to watch.

I hear that Park Tae Yong is
going crazy.

He's in a coma.

Let's give a round of applause.

I hear that my prosecutor
son-in-law has...

prepared something for us.

What have you prepared?

Yes.

The best way to attack
the messenger.

We have to crush the messenger.

All we have to do
is go after that former detective...

Han Sang Man.

It turns out that Han Sang Man
is one of the top three...

richest people in Osung.

What?

- Right.
- Why are you so happy?

Because I'm rich.

He inherited an incredible
amount of land...

from his parents.

How could he be clean?

Mayor, the thing is...

Tax evasion is a given.

If he formed a company,
embezzlement, breach of duty...

Those are standard practices.

I know it all too well
from personal experience.

My gosh.

Okay. Give your report.

This report was put together
by Osung Police.

Han Sang Man is one of
the top three richest people,

but it was all in the past.

He got rid of all of his property...

and lives off his salary
as a civil servant.

He got rid of all of his property?

That's where
the tax evasion comes in.

That is one of my prior crimes.
Right there.

That's why I know this inside out.

He evaded taxes for sure.

He paid the full 30 million dollars
in inheritance tax.

He diligently paid the taxes
for the transfer and rental income.

He paid the taxes?

If he sold his properties...

He gave them to his kids.

Without paying taxes for them.

Remember what I gave you
in cash that time?

I didn't pay tax on that.
You know that.

Han Sang Man formed a foundation
and donated it all.

Approximately 50 million dollars.

It's a foundation to support
ex-cons...

who have cleaned up
and want to better themselves,

by helping them heal
and stand on their own.

I knew it.

You know how I donated money
and created a foundation...

before I became a mayor.

In actuality,
all of that comes back to me.

According to Osung Police,

Han Sang Man
is not involved in any way.

Han Sang Man is a complete psycho.

He's a lunatic.

That's why he hangs out with
Park Tae Yong and Park Sam Soo.

He's a crazy fool.

A total...

Sorry, sir.

We don't have to attack
Han Sang Man.

His request for a retrial
was rejected once already,

so it'll be difficult
without solid evidence.

The final bullet
is the court anyway.

I'll go now.

But...

I've made a mistake.

Tax evasion. Embezzlement.
Dereliction of duty.

How are you proud of them?

Especially for someone
dreaming to be a nation's leader.

What is wrong with you?

I'm sorry, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

Is this report about Han Sang Man
a sure thing?

Regardless, there's nothing
about him to criticize.

How could a rich man be so clean?

I'm sure he has companies
in his siblings' names that are his.

Dig more.

Yes, sir.

I know because I've done it all.

Where is everyone?
Why are you by yourself?

I came by myself to get some air.

I can't drink.
I'll just drink water in this.

Young Jun must've been shocked
earlier.

I calmed him down.

I just tucked him in.

Mr. Park. You get cursed at
by all those people.

I know it's hard.

Why are you helping me?

I'm not helping you.

I'm just doing my job.

But you're doing good deeds.

Don't say that.
I don't like hearing that.

I have one more question.

You said your mother...

killed a person.

Do you know what it's like...

to be the family of a murderer?

I don't know how it feels
to have been framed,

but I know how it feels
to be the family of a murderer.

When I was eight,
about Young Jun's age now,

my mom killed someone
in front of me.

Well... It's as I said.

No. To be more precise,

I heard a scream
from my mom's room.

The eight-year-old Sam Soo
was standing in front of the door.

He was too scared to open the door
and ran away.

If that little boy Sam Soo
had opened the door...

If he had at least screamed,

Mom wouldn't have killed
her boyfriend.

That's the guilt...

I bear.

You really...

must have had a tough life.

It's nothing...

compared to being framed for murder
and being locked up for 10 years.

Yes.

There is one reason
why I'm with...

Kim Du Shik.

- What is it?
- I received something...

from your son Young Jun.

What? What is this?

Mister.

Eat that with me.

My father said I should share
yummy food with friends.

After my mom went to prison
for murder,

the village pretty much raised me.

Whenever they saw me,
they said, "Come and eat."

"Sleep here.
I'm sure no one's home anyway."

"You must be bored.
Come in and play."

The people in the village
weren't trying to do good deeds.

And like that, they raised...

a little kid.

Just like your son Young Jun
took a big spoonful of cake...

and held it out to me.

I'm not good with these things.

Gosh.

There's no way
Lee Jae Sung will confess now.

We need to find the knife
that he used...

in order to flip the tables on him.

Where do you think...

he hid that knife?

The record shows
he confessed four times.

- Is that true?
- Yes, it is.

He said he felt guilty for Du Shik
who went to jail instead of him.

I see.

From what I read in the record,

I could tell
he truly repented for what he did.

Where did he tell you
he hid the knife?

He said he hid it
under a potted plant in his garden.

But it was a lie.

Where were you all this time?

Get inside right this instant.

I begged the prosecutor, Mr. Yoon,
for a search warrant.

I brought it there
and searched everywhere,

but it wasn't there.

He said he truly repented,

but he didn't tell you
where he hid the knife.

Captain. Who went with you
to search the house?

Detective Bong Joon Seok
and a few conscripted officers.

Bong Joon Seok? Wasn't he one of
the cops who framed Kim Du Shik?

He was on the team
that investigated,

but he was a rookie at the time,
so he had no responsibilities.

Also, he's trustworthy.

That's why he was asked
to help conduct the search.

He wouldn't have hidden it.
Don't even think that.

The record. Let's check the record.

Did you go to Lee Jae Sung's house
at 5 p.m. that day?

No. It was too late,
so we went the day after.

Prosecutor Yoon Hee Sung
and Detective Bong Joon Seok.

They should know where the knife is.

They helped me.
They can't have hidden it away.

Drop the idea.

Du Shik, let me ask you something
this time.

Sure, go ahead.

The letter that Chief An Young Kwon
showed at the press conference.

Are you really the one who wrote it?

Yes, I wrote it.

Why did you send it?

My cellmates said I should.

Why?

They said I should show remorse...

to raise my chances of parole.

I did not see this coming.

I can't believe this.

I see.

Back in prison, that must have been
the best advice...

that they could give you.

My goodness.

I'm telling you,
Lee Jae Sung lied to me.

He even feels bad about
what happened to Kim Du Shik.

Why would he hide the knife?

- That's...
- Ms. Lee, that's a good point.

Were the other detectives aware
that a warrant had been issued?

Ms. Hwang. Are you looking down
on the police...

because you used to be a prosecutor?

Captain. Detective Bong Joon Seok
is suspicious.

He was included in the search
and was involved in the frame-up.

This is ridiculous.

Back then, Joon Seok was a rookie...

and wasn't given
much responsibility.

Why are you trying to make him
a bad person?

But it's still true that
he was involved in the frame-up.

Forget it. I've had enough.

You may go back now.

Thank you for this.

Those snacks are
for Young Jun, not you.

Do you think
I'll eat up my son's snacks?

Who knows?

I'm his dad. My goodness.

Mr. Park.

- Yes?
- About Lee Jae Sung...

Will he go to prison
once I clear my name?

Of course.

I'll make sure he goes to prison
no matter what it takes.

Then what will happen
to his wife and two daughters?

- They look like nice people.
- Is that what you're worried about?

I know what my son, Young Jun,

has been through.

Lee Jae Sung's family
didn't do anything wrong.

I mean, why in the world
would you worry about that?

Gosh, this is hard.

You must understand...

better than anyone else.

Gosh, please stop.

There's something I fear even more
than Lee Jae Sung's revenge.

Do you know what it is?

You wanting to give up.

And me saying, worried
about Lee Jae Sung's two daughters,

"Gosh, I can't do this. I quit."

Not being able to go
either forward or backward.

Getting stuck in between.

I'm not planning on
falling into that trap.

Stay strong.

I'm trying like crazy...

to stay strong myself.

Let's go.

If News and New refuses
to publish my article,

I might quit.

Are you moving to another newspaper?

I'd like to join you
like Sam Soo did.

I'd, of course, love that.

But what will Mr. Park think?
He'll be happy too, right?

First, I'll do my best
to persuade my company.

That's the right way.

Yes, follow the procedures...

and fight as hard as you can
inside the company.

I promised myself at least
not to become a bad reporter,

but it's not as easy as I thought.

- Captain, hello.
- Oh, my.

Are you drunk?

I didn't come here
because I'm drunk.

I was worried you'd be lonely.

I wouldn't mind sleeping over...

at your place tonight.

Mr. Park, do you know
what it is like to be lonely?

My nickname is Park Loneliness.

How could I not know?

That's good.

Go into the room
and give Mr. Park a call.

He must be very lonely.

This way. Yes.

I love you, Captain.

Go on in.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I trust you.

When Prosecutor Yoon issued me
a search and seizure warrant,

I told you why
I took only you, right?

Yes, it was because you trusted me.

That's right.

And I still do. See you.

Were the other detectives aware
that a warrant had been issued?

Are you looking down on the police
because you used to be a prosecutor?

Ms. Lee, are you kidding me?

The reason you went to interview
the award winners yesterday...

Yes, I was aware of it.

Jeongju's social welfare official
Lee Yong Seon.

The second prize winner
of the Jeonbuk Volunteer Awards.

He's a murderer.

Why didn't you tell us beforehand?

Would you have let me interview him?

While you hid Lee Yong Seon's name,

you revealed
Prosecutor Yoon Hee Sung's name.

May I ask why?

They're the ones
responsible for the frame-up.

I think there's more to it.

You're trying to escalate things
by dragging the prosecution...

and then the court into it.

I've been a reporter for 30 years.
Do you think I don't know?

The court should apologize
for what they did wrong too.

Didn't the police refute everything
at the press conference?

After being reporters for 30 years,

do you still believe
the police announcements?

How far have you checked?

Lee Jae Sung's descriptions
match the crime scene.

He wouldn't have known
if he wasn't the culprit.

Later. Can we do this later?

We can't betray those in power
right after receiving land.

That's so cold-hearted.

It's just not right.

If it can't be published here,
I'll find another way.

If you act up,
you'll be disciplined again.

This time, I'll probably be fired.

Hey...

My gosh.

Hey.

News and New refuses to publish
the article about Lee Jae Sung.

I'm not surprised though.

Can you post it
on your funding website?

Gosh, my head.

Just a second.

You seem determined.

A pair of shoes turned you
into a greater reporter than me.

Sam Soo.

I'm risking losing my job
for this article.

Please don't say
that I'm being reckless.

If I don't do this,
I'll be suffocated to death.

This time, you'll have to accept me.

It seems so.

Sure.

As long as your goals are clear,
your path will not be shaky.

Nor will it be difficult.

Captain!

Captain!

Did he already go out?

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I'm struggling as it is.
How will I pay Yoo Kyung's salary?

No. No!

I can do this!

Kwi Hyun,
I just sent you an article!

You could retire now.

- Her writing is amazing.
- Right?

By the way, News and New
rejected this article?

That's right.

When the media landscape is
so barren,

aren't I such a blessing
to the journalism of Korea?

Exactly!

We're about to catch a big fish.
Be prepared.

All right. Here we go!

I'm sitting...

side by side with you on purpose.

What do you mean?

Because if I see
your eyes shake today,

I may scold you harshly.

Think of it as consideration
by a senior detective.

- Joon Seok.
- Yes?

September 29, 2005.

Did you know we'd be getting
a search warrant?

What do you mean?
How would I know in advance?

Naturally, I did not.

I told you why I took only you
when we went...

to search Lee Jae Sung's house,
right?

Yes, that you trusted only me.

That's right.

Did you find something
when we searched the house?

No, I did not find anything.

Did you hide something?

No, I did not.

I say this because you've been
a detective for long enough now.

But Lee Jae Sung...

confessed in front of me...

and repented too.

His confession was a perfect match
with what was found at the scene.

Except for one thing.
The knife wasn't there...

where he said it was.

Did Jae Sung lie to me?

Or did
one of the police officers lie?

I don't know.

I'm not sure.

You didn't go to his house...

and search the place
before we got the warrant right?

No, we did not. No.

Okay.

Thanks.

Sang Man.

What?

What are you thanking me for?

What else?

You saved my faith.

To be honest,

I was afraid I'd lose that faith...

when I came here today.

Maybe I'm getting old.

I'm fine losing other things,

but it really hurts
if I lose faith...

in people.

Thanks for saving it.

Sang Man. The thing is...

Stop.

Your eyes are shaking, you jerk.

Hey, you! Sam Soo!
Are you people insane?

You stupid moron.

How could you state the real name
of the prosecutor...

of the Osung trucker murder
and post his picture?

Hi, Yoon Suk.
You shouldn't just start yelling...

Do you want to be charged
with defamation...

and be called in for questioning?

Should I summon you?

How dare you mess with a prosecutor?

Why are you so upset?

You orchestrated this entire thing,
didn't you?

Given what it is,

let's fight head on!

Until one of us
ends up six feet under!

Hello? Hello!

Until one of us ends up
six feet under? You weasel!

Until one of us
ends up six feet under!

Ms. Lee.

I love the article.

Let's get the prosecutor
and Chief Justice Jo Ki Soo.

He was our ultimate goal anyway.

I had forgotten for a moment.

Hello?

Why did she hang up on me?

You gave that article to Sam Soo?

You've lost your mind!

I was going to lose my mind
for real if I didn't do something.

"It's so sickening here,
that I need to leave the paper..."

"to at least save myself"?

You've totally lost control!

I haven't lost control.

I'm trying to catch the scums
who have.

- Hey, you!
- I don't work for you anymore.

So don't raise your voice at me,
Mr. Moon Joo Hyung.

Hey, you! Where are you going?

Where I go is none of your business,
punk.

(Delayed Justice)

Why did you lie
about where you hid the knife?

I told you the complete truth.

The knife with a bent tip.

I guess Detective Bong Joon Seok
knows something.

I saw the news.

Prepare yourselves.
The damage will be severe this time.

Let's smile until the end.

This is a historical day.

We'll show you that evidence today.

Hurray!
