Original subtitles

(All characters, organizations,

...and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)

Now it's only you and me.

We must put an end to this.

I'm sorry.

Though it's too late of me, I'll tell you the truth that I know.

Lawyer Choi Do–hyun.

I would like to ask you to defend me...

...on the retrial of Lt. Colonel Cha's murder case.

I accept...

...your request.

–He's coming out! –He's coming out.

Why did you come to the Eunseo Police Station?

Is it because of Choi Do–hyun?

Do you think it's a coincidence that...

...both of you are being charged with murder?

Did you meet with Lawyer Choi Do– hyun?

Did he admit to murder?

My son did not commit murder.

–Please move aside. –Is there something you're hiding?

Please tell us!

I wonder if running away from the hospital...

...would affect his retrial.

I don't think he'll be able to avoid penalty...

...but it's unrelated to his retrial.

So I don't think it'd affect it too much.

If the retrial is granted, I'll become busy as well.

The prosecution will request to reinvestigate.

It'll give them a reason to properly reinvestigate...

...all the involved parties.

It'll be a difficult case.

No one would want the judgment to be reversed...

...including the police, prosecution, and the court.

No doubt.

Because they'd have to admit to their own mistake.

That's why this is rather funny.

I myself, the one who handled that case...

...am the one who's trying my hardest to reverse the ruling.

That's evidence that...

...you're a good cop.

I already know that.

Yes, sir.

Pardon, sir?

Yes, understood.

We're leaving now.

Excuse me. What's going on?

He's not picking up the phone. I can't just wait around.

Let me go find Captain Ki.

Wait a minute, Yu–ri.

The wounded prisoner who had escaped...

...while being treated at a hospital...

...turned himself in.

While the escape incident ended in six hours...

...it was revealed that the prisoner's motive for escaping...

...was to meet with Lawyer Choi Do– hyun...

...who was caught red–handed for gun homicide...

He finally got to meet with his father.

Yes, finally.

(Captain Ki Choon–ho)

Hello, sir. I saw the news.

Hi, Yu–ri. It's me.

Are you doing okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

I thought...

...I should tell you first.

About what?

I'm going to request...

...a retrial for my father.

Really? That's good news.

During the retrial...

...the topic of the heart transplant will be brought up.

Yes, I assume it will.

Does that mean the mystery will finally be solved?

Wait, did you ask me to come here to talk about this?

I thought you needed my help on something.

Actually, you're right.

I do have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

Why don't you get some sleep?

Well, I can't fall asleep.

Do you want to rest in the night– duty room?

I'm okay here, sir.

You're so stubborn.

Then do whatever you want.

Sir.

Thank you.

You don't need to thank me.

You did everything you could already.

You can leave it to me now.

What's wrong with you all of a sudden?

This also concerns my own work.

While you were preparing over the past 10 years...

...I had no idea what really happened.

I should have given...

...one more thought to your father's confession at that time.

I'm also responsible for the truth being buried.

I'm doing this with you until the end.

So don't even think about...

...doing this alone.

Thank you, sir.

–Have you really recovered? –Pardon, sir?

Me? Please don't worry, sir.

I feel good, as if I went on vacation for a few days.

You went through a lot. Thank you.

I have two simple announcements.

First of all, I'll brief you...

...on the gun homicide case that took place on April 27th...

...at a warehouse located near Pahyun–dong.

We arrested Lawyer Choi Do–hyun...

...the prime suspect of the case, and conducted an investigation.

However, no evidence of the crime was found.

Therefore, at 7 a.m...

...we released Lawyer Choi Do–hyun.

We, the Violent Crimes Unit of the Eunseo Police Station...

...will focus all our efforts on catching the real culprit.

Then what about his confession?

He was caught red–handed. Then why was he there?

I won't be taking any questions at this point in time.

We'll provide the information later in a press release.

I'll now brief you on the second topic.

Come in.

–What brings you here? –I think you should see this, sir.

Choi Pil–soo...

...who received the death sentence 10 years ago...

...for the murder of Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo...

...reversed his previous confession last night.

We, the Violent Crimes Unit of the Eunseo Police Station...

...admit that there was an error in our investigation at that time.

Therefore, we have decided to reinvestigate...

...Lt. Colonel Cha's murder case...

...which took place on March 11, 2009.

Why would you do that?

Do you believe he might have been framed?

We're not certain at this point.

Then, why are you trying to reinvestigate after all these years?

It's because the prosecution at the time...

...demanded the death sentence...

...even though they had evidence that...

...Choi Pil–soo might have given a false confession.

We also discovered that...

...someone had put pressure on the overall process.

There will be a press conference.

At the press conference, can you mention the names...

...of those who were involved in my father's case 10 years ago?

Publicly.

Those who were involved...

Are you suggesting that Yang In– bum...

...the current senior prosecutor for the...

...Northern District who handled that case...

...and Ji Chang–ryul, managing partner...

...of the Ji Chang–ryul Law Firm...

could possibly have been involved in that case?

We'll have to investigate first to be sure.

I also heard that the external pressure...

...came from a current assemblyman...

...and someone who held the real power...

...during the prior administration.

Is that correct?

That too, we'll have to investigate further.

They're insulting prosecutors.

(Ji Chang–ryul)

(Ji Chang–ryul)

Hello, Yang In–bum speaking.

You punk! I told you before.

I told you to hand over Choi Do– hyun's case...

...to the prosecution right away.

I remember telling you I couldn't do that.

What did you say?

Are you saying you're going to just sit and watch?

You know that we can't stop the police from doing their...

...reinvestigation.

You can't stop them?

Hey, Yang In–bum!

Think carefully now.

I no longer work for the prosecutors' office.

But you still do.

Do you know what that means?

–I know very well what that means. –If you already know...

...I guess I don't have to explain it further.

Think carefully.

Properly.

Now that you're reinvestigating the case,

does that mean a retrial may be requested?

Yes, that's correct.

I'm requesting a retrial for Choi Pil–soo,

who is serving his sentence...

...after being accused of murdering...

...Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo 10 years ago.

What did you do while I was away?

I'm trying to rectify what we've done wrong.

Even the commissioner general gave me a call.

This is utter chaos.

Why did you have to mention that...

...you're going to investigate a prosecutor?

They could've proved that it was a false testimony, yet they didn't.

That's an obvious case of dereliction of duty.

What you're doing now is dereliction of duty.

You were the one who was in charge of that case.

That's why I'm going to reinvestigate.

I'll find the real culprit.

Now, are you going to fire me?

Goodness.

If I fire you, you're going to make a fuss...

...saying we're trying to cover it up.

Then, do I have your approval...

...to summon and investigate those who were involved?

Darn it.

–Chief. –What?

This retrial is not necessarily...

...a bad thing for the police force.

If we, the police, admit our wrongdoing...

...and lead the way in finding the truth...

Are you confident?

You know me. If I'm going this far...

That means you're confident.

I'm confident.

Did you know that...

...I'm the one who approved your return?

I vouched for you. Don't disappoint me.

You got that?

Thank you, sir.

For giving me your trust.

–Do you think it's going okay? –Jeez.

–Choon–ho. –You're back.

What did he say?

What else would he say?

He told us to go ahead.

Are you serious?

If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him yourself?

No, I didn't mean that.

We have so much to do.

Let's have a meeting.

Yes, sir.

Hello, I'm back.

Mr. Choi, you went through a lot.

I'm sorry that I made you worry.

Yes, I did worry a lot.

You two did an amazing job.

It's only the beginning.

Do you think they got the message?

More than enough.

Please have a seat.

By the way, it may not be safe for the both of you.

You never know how they might react.

I guess we should get more pepper spray.

Whatever. I'm not scared of them.

How much influence do you think they have over the media?

They're already working on it.

Our case is no longer the top search.

Do you think the court will grant the retrial?

That's why we held the press conference.

To make it a big issue.

Right. We can't proceed with it quietly.

The court must be debating over it by now.

The probability of retrial for a criminal case...

...is very low in our country.

But there are a few recent cases.

There are even dedicated lawyers for retrials.

But in our judicial history, there is no case...

...in which the court granted a retrial

...for a prisoner who's serving his sentence.

By the way, what are you going to do about Cho Ki–tak's trial?

You'll need to start preparing for the retrial right away.

Another lawyer will handle his case.

I have to focus all my efforts....

...on this retrial.

I won't get the death penalty.

That's right.

But that wasn't the point of the promise you made me.

I remember the promise I made to you.

That I'll make them stand trial...

...and make them pay for their wrongdoing.

You'll accomplish that...

...through your father's retrial?

Yes, that's right.

Is that so?

I have a favor to ask you.

Please accept all charges...

...and pay for what you have done.

That's the only way...

...you can ask for forgiveness from all the victims...

...that were sacrificed by your hands.

You talk so convincingly...

...since you're a lawyer.

As all of you are aware...

...the decision for the retrial of this case has a significant meaning.

If we grant the retrial...

...it means we ourselves are admitting that...

...the court's ruling was wrong.

Why should we ruin our own good name?

But I think we'd be ruining our good name...

...by not admitting our own mistake.

I even saw a case that led to a confession...

...by using the double jeopardy rule.

Do you remember the Han Jong–gu case?

Which judge would not remember that?

At that time, I thought Han Jong–gu had actually murdered Kim Sun–hee.

But based on the additional evidence and...

...testimonies submitted after the ruling...

...I realized that my judgment was not correct.

Retrials are no different.

If new evidence or testimonies could...

...reverse the past decision, we should grant the retrial.

And that's exactly why we have the system of retrial.

But don't you see?

If we allow a retrial this time, what about all the other cases?

They are all going to ask for it.

Then we'll be inundated with retrial cases all year long.

That's sure to happen.

But from the defendant's point of view,

...they are valid reasons to ask for a retrial.

And the prosecution even omitted evidence on purpose.

There is nothing more important than...

...saving someone who was wrongly accused.

Judge Na!

Why are you being so difficult?

Let's decide then.

This decision may end up...

...undermining the power of the judiciary branch,

...as well as the law.

Therefore, please think very carefully.

I'll say this again.

This is not a problem of the court alone.

In a moment, the court will announce their decision...

...regarding the retrial for the Lt. Colonel Cha murder case.

In our judicial history, there has been no case...

...in which the court granted a retrial...

...for a prisoner who's serving his sentence.

Therefore, all eyes are focused on the court's upcoming decision.

Prosecutor General.

It's Chu Myung–geun.

I'm calling in regard to the retrial for the Lt.

Colonel Cha case.

This may affect the dignity of the entire judiciary branch.

Even finding the right prosecutor to handle the case...

...must be very difficult.

So I have a suggestion for you.

I'll announce the court's decision...

...in response to the retrial request...

...for the Lt. Colonel Cha murder case...

...submitted by Choi Pil–soo's defense attorney.

I would like to inform you that this decision was...

...based on a majority vote by a panel of judges.

Regarding Case Number 2009–517, the court has made a decision...

...to commence with a retrial.

However, the decision to grant a retrial...

...does not indicate that...

...Choi Pil–soo's murder charges have been dropped.

Furthermore, it does not lead to...

...definitive evidence of his innocence.

Therefore, the request made by the defense...

...to suspend the execution of his sentence...

...is not granted.

That is all.

(Senior Prosecutor Yang In–bum)

Hello, Yang In–bum speaking.

Prosecutor General.

Yes, sir. Understood.

–Did you not get it yet? –Very soon, sir.

–Got it now. –It's open, sir.

It's empty inside.

How could he clean it...

...as he was rushing out of here?

Let's leave now.

Okay, sir.

(First Sergeant Hwang Kyo–sik)

(The Homeland Trusts in You, Make the Impossible Happen)

Choon–ho.

What is that?

What do you think this key is for?

It's a key for a personal safe.

[K-Plus Asia ver.] Confession E14 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92

I told you that you should stay away from me.

Don't assume we're in the same boat just because we're both here.

That's true.

I guess you must've had a reason to confess on your own.

Gosh.

Then, it's time you pay me back...

...for the rest of what you owe.

Don't you think?

It's only going to get more exciting from now on.

You can count on it.

Hello. This is the Eunseo Police.

By any chance, do you have a safe that fits the key from the picture?

You don't? Okay, thank you.

(Bank List)

–You have it? –Which one is it?

–It's Han Ju Bank. –Han Ju Bank?

–Let's go. –Yes, sir.

(Han Ju Bank)

How did it go?

–Did you find it? –Yes.

–Look through them. –Yes, sir.

This is a ledger for slush funds.

They sent so many.

How much is all this?

Five billion won. Three billion won.

"SI." Who do you think that is?

It was sent there the most.

There is also election support.

–A lot went to support some foundation.

–Support, support, support.

Anything on the cell phone?

No, it's empty.

This one has a pattern locking device,

so I can't unlock it.

Darn it.

SI.

SI.

(SI)

–Sir. –We found Hwang Kyo–sik's secret ledger.

–Did you find anything specific? –Not really.

He only recorded the transfer details.

The most mentioned name was "SI."

The amount sent there alone is over 100 billion won.

–100 billion won? –Yes.

It's on a different playing field. As we had expected.

If funds of that scale are moving around,

it must be a trillion–won business.

–Defense industry. –That's right.

It's the fight to secure benefits in the defense industry.

As we had anticipated.

The one that was allocated benefits worth a trillion won.

Did you find anything on SI?

I don't have anything on it yet.

Hwang Kyo–sik is keeping his silence...

...even though we showed him the ledger.

Then that must be...

...the one with the power that's beyond our imagination.

The real power.

I agree.

We don't know if he's afraid...

...or if he's got Hwang Kyo–sik's back.

Are you going to Cho Ki–tak's trial tomorrow?

No, I don't think I need to.

Is that so?

Then how are the retrial preparations coming along?

I'm somewhat ready.

Somewhat?

I've never heard you say that before.

I guess so.

I know you have a lot on your shoulders.

But you've prepared 10 years for this.

You'll do well. I know you will.

Yes.

I'll make sure I do a good job.

We will begin the trial for Case Number 2019–891.

Combined Case Number 1036.

We'll announce the verdict...

...for the defendant's murder charge of Kim Sun–hee...

...based on Articles 278, 150, and 161...

...of the Criminal Act, as well as for...

...the defendant's attempted murder charge...

...of No Sun–hoo based on Article 254...

...which is a subclause of Article 250 of the Criminal Act.

Defendant, please stand up.

All the crimes committed by the defendant...

...are extremely heinous in nature.

Therefore, this court believes...

...there is more than sufficient reason...

...to isolate the defendant from society.

The ruling is as follows.

Verdict.

The court imposes upon the defendant...

...life imprisonment.

(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)

Do you have new evidence for the retrial?

–Please comment. –Please comment.

How are you involved?

–Please comment. –Do you admit to the charges?

–Please comment. –Chairman Oh.

Court is now in session.

All rise.

(First Hearing for the Retrial of the...

...Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo Murder Case)

Please be seated.

We will now begin the retrial for Case Number 2019–517.

First, I would like to thank the court...

...for granting a retrial for my client.

Witness.

At the time of the incident, there were only three people there.

The victim, the defendant, and you. Is that correct?

That is correct.

I said it so many times that I'm sick of it.

Could you please explain what happened once again?

I was on my way back from using the restroom.

Then, I suddenly heard a gunshot.

I ran back into the room in shock...

...and saw Lt. Colonel Cha collapsed over a table...

...and Warrant Officer Choi Pil–soo standing there with a gun in his...

...hand.

Warrant Officer Choi seemed to be in a state of panic.

I calmed Warrant Officer Choi...

...asked him to put the gun down...

...and convinced him to turn himself in.

If you went back in after you heard the gunshot...

...that means you didn't witness the actual murder, right?

I saw him holding the gun...

...and the person who was shot was lying there.

And those were the only people in the room.

I would think even a toddler could draw the same conclusion.

So you opened the door...

...after all three shots were fired, correct?

That's right.

Did you touch Lt. Colonel Cha's body after he was shot?

No.

That's odd, you didn't even bother to check...

...if your subordinate was alive after he was shot?

He was shot three times.

I could tell he was already dead just by looking at him.

I see.

But wouldn't someone normally check to see whether he was alive?

Warrant Officer Choi was very agitated.

So I thought I needed to calm him down first.

Besides, it was a crime scene.

I didn't want to act recklessly and damage anything.

That's right. A murder scene has to be preserved.

Anyway, you didn't go near the victim. Is this correct?

Correct.

What about the defendant?

I don't understand.

Did he touch the victim or did he go next to him?

Well...

Warrant Officer Choi was next to me throughout the incident.

I mean, on the other side of the victim.

Your Honor.

Please note what the witness said just now.

May I ask a question to the defendant?

You may.

Defendant.

When the incident happened...

...were you in the same room just like the witness has...

...testified?

No.

I was talking on the phone outside.

Whom were you talking with?

The doctor who was in charge of my son.

Where are you, Mr. Choi?

I'm out tending to business.

Did something happen?

I'm calling you to let you know...

...that Do–hyun is in serious condition.

He needs to have surgery in a few days.

Sir?

Are you sure you heard a gunshot on the phone that day?

Yes, I did.

How did you know it was a gunshot?

Because I heard them every time I went to...

...training camp while I was in the military.

Do you think the defendant shot a gun while talking on the phone?

I do not think he suddenly shot a gun...

...in the middle of the conversation.

The gunshot didn't sound close either.

This is the report on the defendant's call history...

...and the time of the gunshot.

Please look at the screen.

These pictures are of the murder scene.

If you see here, there's blood scattered on the floor.

It was spattered as the victim got shot.

If you look closely...

...you'll notice that after the blood was spattered...

...someone touched it with their hand.

Whose handprint is this?

Your Honor, please remember Witness Oh's testimony.

Are you talking about how he said...

...that no one went close to the victim?

That is correct.

According to the evidence...

...someone else was there when the incident happened.

This proves that Witness Oh Taek– jin...

...perjured himself.

–He's right. –My goodness.

Defendant, if you heard the gunshot from outside...

...what happened next?

I ran into the room where the gun was fired.

Drop the gun.

Stay outside.

With her.

Warrant Officer Choi!

I said, get out!

Do you know who was holding the gun?

Yes.

Who was it?

Objection. It's the defendant's unilateral claim...

Overruled.

Go on.

Who was holding the gun?

Park Si–kang.

–What? –Oh, my.

–Is this true? –Assemblyman Park Si–kang?

Are you talking about Assemblyman Park Si–kang...

...the nephew of the former president, Park Myung–seok?

That's right.

I'm sure it was Park Si–kang.

–What is he talking about? –Is this true?

–My goodness. –This is unbelievable.

–Is this true? –How could he?

–My goodness. –He was holding the gun?

–Quiet down. –This is outrageous.

Quiet down!

That is all.

Prosecution, you may question the defendant.

(Prosecution)

If you saw who shot the gun...

...you should've made a statement as a witness.

Why did you falsely confess that you shot the gun?

Because I had...

...no other choice.

What do you mean by that?

Your Honor.

This trial is about whether the defendant...

...committed the murder or not.

The retrial was opened because the defendant reversed his...

...confession.

Then what made him confess to the murder at that time?

Please let me reveal it.

Defendant, answer the question.

I have...

...a son.

He had a heart problem...

...ever since he was born.

Do–hyun. Do–hyun, what's wrong?

Do–hyun, stay with me.

Do–hyun. Nurse!

Nurse!

Do–hyun...

All we can do for now is...

...administer emergency treatments like this.

He will have another cardiac arrest.

When that happens...

...you'll have to be prepared to let him go.

I couldn't do anything for him.

I had never been resentful of myself like that.

I wished that I could...

...trade my life for his.

And that day...

...when the incident happened...

...Commander Oh made me an offer.

Warrant Officer Choi.

Yes, sir.

Tell me.

Don't you want to save your son's life?

What do you mean?

Let me make an offer.

Whether you take it is up to you to decide.

Will you trade your life...

...for your son's?

I don't understand.

If you take the blame for what happened today...

...I'll save your son.

I'll help him get a heart transplant.

But how?

Leave it up to me.

If I fail to save your son's life...

...you may go for the other option.

My son was dying day by day.

I thought that if only I could save him...

...I would gladly take the blame for the murder.

However...

...I later found out...

...that someone else's life was sacrificed in exchange.

After then...

...I felt as if I committed a real sin...

...instead of being falsely charged...

...and that I should repent...

...for the rest of my life.

But...

...I'm still not sure...

...if I would've turned down Commander Oh's offer...

...even if I had known about his plan beforehand.

What kind of father...

...in this world...

...would sit back and watch his son die?

It feels like I've watched a touching drama.

So are you saying that you didn't kill the victim...

...but you took the blame upon yourself?

For your attorney son over there?

Is that it?

Right.

Like the defendant claimed...

...did you offer him a heart transplant for his son?

Why would I make such an offer?

Choi Pil–soo over there murdered Lt. Colonel Cha.

Even if I did make an offer...

...how would I have gotten him a heart?

That is all.

Defense Attorney, will you question the witness?

No, I won't.

Instead, I'd like Park Si–kang...

...to be present as a witness for the next trial.

–What? –Park Si–kang as a witness?

–This is going crazy. –My goodness.

–Does he mean it? –My gosh.

–Is it going to happen? –This is crazy.

–Goodness. –My gosh.

That's Prosecutor Lee Hyun–jun!

–Prosecutor Lee, please say a word. –How do you feel?

Did Mr. Choi Pil–soo point to Assemblyman Park as the culprit?

Is there any plan for the prosecution...

...to investigate Assemblyman Park?

It's only a claim of a condemned prisoner...

...who reversed his confession.

What do you say about the probability...

...of Mr. Oh perjuring himself?

Conditions are not enough to prove his perjury.

Thus, the prosecution...

–Attorney Choi is coming out. –There he is.

–Attorney Choi. –Mr. Choi.

–Please say a word. –Tell us your opinion.

Do you think Assemblyman Park will appear in court?

I believe that Assemblyman Park will appear.

If my client is lying...

...he has no reason to avoid testifying.

I'm looking forward to having him winnow out the truth in court.

–Another comment, please. –Tell us more about what you think.

–Mr. Choi. –Say a word about the office corruption.

The trial has reopened after 10 years.

You were the prosecutor in charge at that time as well.

Do you still think Mr. Choi Pil–soo is the culprit?

He confessed...

...to the crime himself.

Was it all that you needed to conclude the case?

Like this, all secrets are bound to be revealed one day.

As long as there is someone willing to seek the truth.

If you are referring to Sun–hoo's case...

...I'm truly sorry.

I should've been more careful.

It happened because you weren't careful enough?

Is that all?

I'm sorry.

Will you excuse me now?

Let me ask one more thing.

Why on earth...

...did you become a prosecutor?

Thank you.

Don't try too hard.

I'm fine.

This is just the beginning. I can't break down already.

I believe that Assemblyman Park will appear.

If my client is lying...

–...he has no reason to avoid testifying. –Hi, Captain.

I'm looking forward to having him winnow out the truth in court.

Mr. Choi is being very aggressive.

Park Si–kang has to appear in court.

Or everything is meaningless.

Have you found his former secretary,

employee, or anyone involved in the case?

It seems like they fired everyone after the incident.

There's no one.

–What about the DSC? –Well...

They say they can't confirm.

So I went and inquired about it...

...to the former officers of the DSC.

Unit Three of the DSC at that time...

...was in charge of inspections regarding national defense.

–Inspections? –Yes.

They inspected weapons before purchasing them.

(Video)

Assemblyman Park's vehicle...

...just arrived at his office.

Hey!

After his name was mentioned during the recent trial...

...he's showing how displeased he is.

Why can't you do your job properly? What's your deal?

–He's abusing his attendants as well. –Do it already.

Discipline your men properly.

You aren't allowed to film anything. Put the camera away.

I apologize.

(Defendant Choi Pil–soo Points to Assemblyman Park as the Culprit)

(Assemblyman Park Si–kang Stays Silent...

...Regarding Witness Subpoena)

What should I do?

Just because you were summoned as a witness...

...doesn't necessarily mean you have to be there.

And if I don't?

People will think I did it.

Let's hold out for now.

It won't be too late to make a decision...

...after waiting for their next move.

The media is making a huge deal about this.

Come to think of it, why isn't Mr. Chu...

...keeping the media under control?

Maybe it has spread beyond his control.

Everything spreads through social media these days.

I'm worried...

...that this might have a negative impact on our business.

Chairman Oh, does this feel like someone else's business to you?

Is that why you were so careless in giving your testimony?

What do you mean, careless?

You could've just said you didn't know if you didn't remember.

–Did you do it on purpose? –Absolutely not.

I'm just concerned about the deal...

...because I heard some strange rumors.

I heard that the deal...

...is leaning toward the Germans.

I mean, Jenny Song is dead.

Haven't you heard anything, Assemblyman Park?

Nothing.

However the decision is made, that isn't the problem right now.

I told you. If this deal goes awry...

Stop with that darn business talk!

The trial comes first.

Let's be honest. If this incident goes wrong...

...you, me, and you too.

None of us will be safe.

And let me tell you one last time.

It was you...

...who killed Lt. Colonel Cha.

Never forget that.

I got a clear shot.

(Chairman Chu Myung–geun)

Hello?

It's me, Mr. Chu.

Yes, hello. What's the matter?

I know that you're in talks with the German company.

I can't believe you're concerned about that right now.

If I fail to take this deal, Yukwang Corporation...

...will fall apart.

Chairman Oh.

There are business opportunities everywhere.

And you just have to open another company.

You're saying that so easily.

Deal with the trial first.

That's more urgent right now.

One more thing.

You better behave well...

...so that Assemblyman Park doesn't get involved.

It's not just Assemblyman Park.

If I open my mouth, you won't be safe either.

Chairman Oh.

This time...

...I'll pretend I didn't hear you say that.

Bye.

Hello. This is Chu Myung–geun.

About the tax inspection on Yukwang Corporation...

...can you buy some time until the trial is over?

No, even if he's arrested for malfeasance and embezzlement...

...it should be done a little while later.

If we keep cornering him like this...

...he may misjudge the situation.

We shouldn't rush it.

Let's take it slow.

Do you understand?

Yes, bye.

If everything always went as planned...

...what would be the fun in life?

About your father...

...I don't think he's told you everything.

When your father worked at the DSC...

...he was in charge of inspections regarding weapons purchases.

Wait, are you saying...

...my father may have been involved in defense corruption?

No, that's not it.

Hear me out.

Before I came here, I checked this at the immigration office.

Around three months before the incident...

...your father went to Germany himself.

And Lt. Colonel Cha accompanied him.

My father went there with Lt. Colonel Cha?

Lt. Colonel Cha was murdered...

...because his inspection results were undesirable to someone?

Right.

That someone tried to persuade Lt. Colonel Cha.

But it didn't work, and in the end...

Your father had no reason to murder Lt. Colonel Cha.

The real culprit is...

...the one who benefitted from his death.

That's the reasonable approach.

Chairman Oh isn't willing to say anything.

So the only lead we have is Hwang Kyo–sik's list of slush funds.

Mr. Choi.

We're almost there.

I've found out what SI means.

What is that?

It's Songil Foundation.

Songil Foundation?

They mostly work on scholarship businesses.

Scholarship businesses?

On the outside, of course.

So I'm going to try digging into it from now on...

...to find out what kind of company it is.

I'll try talking to my father then.

I'll call you.

Okay.

We were supposed to see each other tomorrow.

I guess this is urgent.

Dad.

Is there something you didn't tell me?

What do you mean?

Why did you go to Hwaye...

...with Lt. Colonel Cha?

Why did you go to Germany 10 years ago?

The Black Bear Project.

I know you went there to inspect it.

When they killed Jenny Song...

...why did they let me live?

I thought hard about the reason.

No Sun–hoo.

Kim Sun–hee.

Jenny Song.

All of them must've been...

...a threat or an eyesore to them.

They killed all those people.

But why...

...didn't they kill you and me?

It's not because of me.

It has to be because...

...you have something.

What is it?

Dad.

(Black Bear Project MOU)

(President of Korea, Park Myung– seok,

Were you...

...involved in this business?

According to the inspection results...

...Black Bear wasn't supposed to be imported.

However...

...the opinion of Lt. Colonel Cha and I wasn't important at that time.

The inspection report was fabricated too.

I have the original copy of the report.

For the last 10 years...

...it was hidden from the world.

I guess it's finally time.

Can you...

I'm not the one you should be asking for forgiveness from.

I'm sorry.

Dad.

I told you.

You don't have to ask me for forgiveness...

...nor should you be apologetic to me.

You just have to...

...be like how you have been.

Just keep telling the truth.

If the report gets revealed,

Embite will be in trouble as well.

Take care of it yourself...

...and retrieve the report.

(Songil Foundation)

Goodness.

A detective is here to see you.

A detective?

Should I turn him down?

Let him in.

(Confession)

Are you saying we should give up here?

We must arrest them. We must put them in prison!

Mobilize our men.

Tell him to call me immediately.

One by one. Regardless of how influential they are,

I'm going to make them stand trial.

I'll be cheering you on.

I won't let you down.

So it hasn't ended yet.

It's just the beginning.
