(Final Episode)

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.

Everything your father said was true.

You have another hearing coming up.

Will you submit this as evidence?

Will Chu Myung–geun appear in court?

I've requested his attendance as a witness...

...but he won't comply.

Then must we wait until they issue an arrest warrant?

That will take quite a while.

You said you'd be away for a while, but you're already back.

I heard some riffraff were acting up,

so I cut my trip short.

Some "riffraff"?

Well, just take care of them.

So everything went well, right?

They'll send the money to the Swiss bank account.

(Business Partnership Agreement)

(Embite, Chu Myung–geun,

and Park Si–kang agree to the below)

I heard that even Swiss banks aren't safe these days.

It'll be okay, right?

I've been doing business with them

for over 20 years. Put your worries to rest.

Put it away. Mr. Ji will be here shortly.

Oh, come on in.

Hello.

The court sent me this.

(Seoul Northern District Court, Subpoena Duces Tecum)

What are you going to do?

Well, it'll be fine even if you choose to ignore it.

That's probably what Choi Do–hyun is expecting as well.

And for that reason,

I think I should make an appearance.

What will you say though?

I'll testify and tell them what I saw that day.

Chairman Oh killed him...

...and dumped it all on Choi Pil– soo.

I should attend the trial

and reveal the truth, don't you think?

But if both you and Assemblyman Park say

that Chairman Oh shot him...

Choi Pil–soo will be acquitted.

That is exactly what I want.

That will end the retrial...

...and this will be buried for good.

He's right. Let's put an end

to this headache as quickly as possible.

Every time there's a hearing, all the reporters hound me.

I can't take it anymore.

Wait.

Then they'll say I perjured myself.

If you attend another hearing and correct yourself...

...you won't be subject to penalty.

But Choi Pil–soo saw me shooting him.

No, he didn't see it. He just heard the gunshot.

The retrial opened...

...to determine whether or not Choi Pil–soo committed the murder.

It's not about finding the culprit.

Is that so? You're sure about that, right?

Yes, sir.

Then let's proceed with this plan.

Got it, sir.

Park Si–kang is here!

–It's Park Si–kang! –He's here!

–Mr. Park, please comment. –Say a few words!

–Please make a comment. –What is the truth?

–Mr. Park! –Here!

–Choi Do–hyun is here! –Let's go!

–Please comment. –Say a few words.

–Mr. Choi, please make a comment. –Mr. Choi!

(Fourth Hearing for the Retrial of

the Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo Murder Case)

Witness.

As the prosecutor who was in charge of the case...

...do you admit that you purposely left out this piece of evidence?

No, I don't.

It wasn't done intentionally.

(Defendant)

Then let me rephrase my question.

Do you admit that the evidence was left out?

It is a prosecutor's job...

...to indict the accused

when it's evident that he or she is guilty.

Even when...

...a trifling piece of evidence is omitted...

...it doesn't mean we can't prove that the accused is guilty.

Just like what happened with

the Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo murder case.

On what grounds do you consider it...

...to be "a trifling piece of evidence"?

That is up to the prosecutor to decide.

Your Honor.

There's another prosecutor who handled the case.

I'd like to call the former senior prosecutor, Yang In–bum...

...to the witness stand.

Witness.

I will ask you the exact same question

I asked Mr. Ji Chang–ryul earlier.

Do you admit that the prosecution left out

the specific piece of evidence...

...on purpose?...

(Defendant)

Yes, I do.

Witness.

You may be charged with dereliction of duty.

Please answer carefully.

That piece of evidence...

...was left out deliberately.

Why did the prosecution deliberately leave it out?

I rest my case.

Prosecution, do you wish to cross–examine the witness?

No, I have no questions for the witness.

Then you may call another witness.

I'd like to call Park Si–kang to the witness stand once again.

(Witness)

Witness.

Describe the situation

at the time of the incident in detail.

Actually...

...I was there that day.

Also...

...the person who killed Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo...

...wasn't Choi Pil–soo.

It was Chairman Oh Taek–jin.

Lt. Colonel Cha and Chairman Oh...

...had an argument.

Then Chairman Oh got all worked up and shot him.

I took the gun from him to stop him...

...and the door opened right at that moment.

Startled by that, I ended up...

...firing the gun without even realizing it.

After that...

...I left that place right away.

I rest my case.

Prosecution...

...are you trying to prove

that the defendant is, in fact, not guilty?

I am trying to uncover the truth, that's all.

Defense, would you like to cross–examine the witness?

Based on Mr. Park's testimony, it doesn't seem like...

...you'd want to discredit anything he said.

I, too, want to uncover the truth...

...so I'd like to ask him some questions.

Witness, then why did you initially say

you weren't at the scene?

Someone died there.

If people had found out that I was there...

...it would've turned into a huge scandal.

I didn't hide it for my own sake.

It would've put the former president in jeopardy.

All right.

Then is there a reason

you're reversing your statement now?

That man.

He was falsely accused.

I know that this is late, but I should still

do my best to correct things.

That thought was what motivated me.

Another witness, Chairman Oh Taek– jin,

was found dead.

Aren't you trying to take advantage of it...

...by pinning the murder on the deceased?

Objection, Your Honor.

Defense is questioning the witness

with the assumption that he is the culprit.

It looks like the roles of the prosecution

and defense have been switched.

But anyway, objection sustained.

Defense, please be careful.

I'm saying Choi Pil–soo didn't kill him.

Why are you still complaining?

Does this mean the war has really begun?

If no article comes out of this, I'll just post another video.

Let's go. The hearing will be over soon.

Okay.

Defense, do you wish to call another witness?

Yes.

I'd like to call Mr. Chu Myung– geun,

the chairman of Songil Foundation...

...to the witness stand.

(Witness)

Everything Assemblyman Park said is true.

After Assemblyman Park left...

...Chairman Oh fired two more bullets at the victim.

I tried to stop him, but it didn't work.

I guess he had been holding a deep grudge against him.

Witness.

Why were you at the scene?

Well, it was just a casual get– together.

For catching up with each other and so on.

Oh Taek–jin, the commander of the DSC at the time...

...Park Si–kang, the former president's nephew...

...Song Jae–in, an arms–industry lobbyist...

...and Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo,

who was in charge of weapons inspection.

You met up...

...with the aforementioned individuals

just to catch up?

Objection, Your Honor.

This question is completely irrelevant

to the case and this retrial.

Sustained.

Defense Attorney, do not deviate...

...from the objective of this trial.

Your Honor.

I am trying to get to the bottom of why this incident took place.

Is it relevant to this retrial?

The background of the incident...

...isn't unrelated to proving that the defendant...

...is not guilty of the murder.

Your Honor.

In the background of the incident lies...

...the Yurion attack helicopter deal...

...from 10 years ago, namely the Black Bear Project.

Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo was killed

because of that project.

The meeting, where the witness was present,

was certainly not a casual get– together.

Your Honor, that is a groundless speculation.

We'll let him finish.

Witness.

Was that gathering a meeting for the Black Bear Project?

This is my first time hearing about such a project.

Like I said earlier, it was nothing...

...but a casual get–together.

(Black Bear Inspection Report)

(Black Bear Inspection Report)

Then what about this report?

You've never seen it before?

No, never.

This is...

...the original copy of the Yurion

attack helicopter inspection report.

In this report, most of the key parts...

...are said to be "Inadequate."

(Further inspection required, Inadequate)

However, Yurion was imported

despite the results of this inspection.

Why do you think that happened?

How would I know?

It was...

...only possible because this report was manipulated...

...by a few powerful people.

–Your Honor! –Objection overruled.

Let's hear more about this.

Oh Taek–jin, who was the commander of the DSC...

...Park Si–kang over there,

who is the former president's nephew...

...and the person who could visit the Blue House whenever he wanted.

The so–called shadow ruler.

You, Witness Chu Myung–geun.

These three people...

...manipulated this inspection report.

Listen. Who am I to meddle in such an important project?

Do you have any evidence to back this up?

Yes, I do.

(Witness)

The evidence...

...is in here.

Your Honor, the truth behind everything...

...is recorded...

...in this.

Your Honor, the files in that USB drive

aren't on the evidence list.

Prosecution.

It is your duty

to find out who the real culprit is.

If it actually contains evidence

that reveals the truth behind the murder...

...shouldn't you, as a prosecutor...

...want to listen to the recordings in it?

Let's listen to the recordings first.

Your last rope for hope...

...is about to break Chu Myung–geun...

...is done for.

Why are you in your uniform?

How dare you.

I had to take care of an emergency right before coming here.

Don't be so harsh on him.

He's a soldier who protects our country.

This is Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo,

who writes all our inspection reports.

I see. Come join us. Please have a seat.

Please sit. I've heard so much about you...

...from General Oh here.

Here.

I heard the reports have been keeping you busy.

No. It's okay, sir.

I'm a little late, aren't I?

My girl just wouldn't let me go.

I see you often these days.

Yes, hello.

Oh, the inspection report.

Did you come in your uniform on purpose?

Lt. Colonel Cha.

Is the inspection report going well?

Lt. Colonel Cha.

Don't you see

that everyone is waiting for your answer?

Is this soldier a mute or what?

Oh, Ms. Song.

I need to talk to you about something.

Sure, sir.

You're obviously doing this because you want more commission.

Just do as you're told. What is your problem?

It's made with parts that are only

going to last another 10 years at the most.

If we allow this...

...we'll be basically importing industrial waste.

Lt. Colonel Cha, don't you want a star?

You have all my support.

Changing a few numbers is nothing hard.

Why are you being so difficult?

You'll approve it in the end anyway.

How much more must we pay you

for you to stop putting on this act?

Changing those few numbers...

...may lead to serious problems, have you even thought about that?

It's not something that money can solve!

What?

You jerk, what the heck did you just say?

What are you doing? Give it back!

Do you even know who I am?

Obey my orders if you want to protect

this country and be a patriot!

Give me back my gun!

Let go. I said, let go!

–Let go. –Give it back!

You'd better let go!

Please.

Drop the gun.

Drop the gun, please!

General Oh.

Tell those two to leave the room for now.

Wait outside.

Take that girl with you.

Warrant Officer Choi! I told you to wait outside!

Leave me out, please.

I no longer want to be involved in this.

Mr. Park, you should leave too.

I know he's dead, but it can't stop us.

Right?

Just because this mere soldier is dead...

...it doesn't mean I should be scared.

Sir, what are you doing?

What...

...does this mean?

As of today...

...you're joining hands with Mr. President as well.

If you want to be in the same boat...

...you'll have to give me some reassurance.

He's already dead.

He was alive until you shot him just now.

Try to put yourself...

...in Mr. President's shoes.

Now, if this gets out...

...all of us will be done for.

Then...

...what should we do now?

That guy outside.

Is there any way we can use him?

Try to coax him.

I don't care how much money we have to spend.

He's not the type to be swayed by money.

You're not saying

we should all go down together, right?

I think I can figure something out, sir.

Let's say that Warrant Officer Choi,

Lt. Colonel Cha...

...and I...

...were the only ones that were here today.

All right. Please sort it out well.

He was alive after I shot him!

Quiet down, please.

You heard what Chairman Oh said.

He was alive until Mr. Chu shot him!

Mr. Park.

If you make another comment, we'll have to detain you.

As you all heard...

...Lt. Colonel Cha was...

...still alive after the first gunshot.

Witness...

...the second bullet was fired by you.

Do you admit it?

Do you admit that you killed...

...Lt. Colonel Cha?

I refuse to answer that question.

I rest my case.

We'll take a short recess.

All witnesses must not leave the courtroom.

That was No Sun–hoo's doing.

No Sun–hoo, sir?

He was in contact with Seol–hwa before he died, so I bet...

...he got Seol–hwa to record our conversations.

So, Prosecutor No Sun–hoo was the one

who recorded the conversation.

Even when an ordinary civilian does it...

...such recordings are

rarely accepted as legitimate evidence.

And this illegal recording was done by a prosecutor.

It certainly cannot serve as evidence.

We should tell the prosecutor.

Got it, sir.

So, what do you say?

Did you enjoy the recording?

I'm sure you recognize those voices.

Do you believe me now?

Then why do you need my phone?

This is for the Lt. Colonel Cha case.

I want to catch the person who ordered...

...the murder of Kim Sun–hee.

Then hear it from that person directly.

You're really frustrating me here.

You heard it. You still don't get it?

You're still young.

Fine. If you want to take the blame for it,

go for it.

Even without you...

...Chu Myung–geun will be arrested and you will also...

Forget it.

Why am I wasting my time talking to you?

We will resume the hearing.

Your Honor.

Please ask the defense attorney to identify...

...the source of the recording.

Defense.

I do not know...

...who recorded the conversation.

The recorder was placed there by a prosecutor.

Did you say a "prosecutor"?

It is an illegal recording.

It is true that it's connected to a prosecutor...

...who was investigating the corruption

surrounding the Blue House at the time.

However, there's no way of knowing whether he put it there himself.

Considering the circumstances, it is

plausible to assume that he put it there.

There is evidence...

...to prove that he was investigating

the scene of the murder, Hwaye, at the time.

According to the exclusionary rule

regarding illegally acquired evidence...

...that recording cannot serve as evidence.

–What? –Seriously?

Your Honor.

The law states that in cases of serious crimes...

...the judge has authority to decide...

...whether or not to accept illegally acquired evidence.

The recording cannot serve as evidence.

But isn't it firm evidence?

What's going to happen now?

You don't have to worry...

...about getting arrested for the murder of Lt. Colonel Cha.

Your Honor. Even if it cannot serve as evidence to prove...

...that Park Si–kang and Chu Myung– geun

killed the victim...

...it is now clear that the defendant

did not commit the murder.

No.

The evidence was acquired illegally.

Hence, no information obtained from

it can be accepted.

I request that you delete it from all records.

Please give us a moment.

Article Four of the Protection of Communications Secrets Act...

...states that any content of communication

acquired through illegal wiretapping...

...shall not be admitted as evidence in a trial.

Your Honor.

However...

...even though it can't prove that

the witnesses are guilty of the murder...

...it can serve as evidence to prove

that the defendant is not guilty.

Prosecution.

I suggest...

...that you reinvestigate the case and find out who the culprit was.

Please say a few words.

The court made the right decision.

According to the recording, you're a murder accomplice.

Because it's a fact that you fired the shot.

Recording?

It was all fabricated.

You can even fabricate videos these days.

Manipulating a voice recording is a piece of cake.

Well, that's all for now.

Please comment more.

Assemblyman Park, please wait.

Please comment.

Assemblyman Park, just one comment, please.

Then why were you so shaken up...

...if you thought it was all fabricated?

What did you say?

Shaken up?

I heard you earlier.

You said, "He was...

...still alive after I shot him."

How dare you?

Actually, let me tell you one more thing

before you go, Mr. Park.

You're finished.

Assemblyman Park.

Assemblyman Park!

Assemblyman Park!

What's going on?

(Sungju Daily)

Unbelievable.

–It got released. –It's exclusive.

Is this for real?

(I'm sharing information on government corruption)

A secret report on the Blue House got released.

It's breaking news.

I thought he died.

But then...

Chu Myung–geun.

What's this about?

I'm arresting you...

...for instigating the murder of Kim Sun–hee.

What are you talking about?

Mr. Hwang, it's me.

Seol–hwa.

I mean, Kim Sun–hee.

Get rid of her.

Cleanly.

You have the right to remain silent...

...and to appoint an attorney.

Anything you say...

...may be used against you in a court of law.

Arrest him.

Let go.

I'll go on my own.

It's not up to you.

You're under arrest.

How dare you!

–Take him. –Yes, sir.

He's coming out.

Here he comes.

Do you admit to manipulating the Black Bear inspection report?

Do you admit you're the shadow ruler?

Please comment.

Do you admit to manipulating the Black Bear inspection report?

–Do you admit it? –Please comment.

Please comment.

Do you admit to the charges?

Sir, please comment.

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

Please comment.

One comment before you go.

(Police)

You already knew that we wouldn't be able to get him...

...for the murder of Lt. Colonel Cha, right?

But I still wanted to hear him say it.

"I did it."

At least that.

They're not going to confess so easily.

Anyway...

Hwang Kyo–sik finally broke his silence?

That's right.

I had to trick him a bit.

Fine. If you want to take the blame

for it, go for it.

Even without you...

Chu Myung–geun will be arrested and you will also...

Forget it.

Why am I wasting my time talking to you?

Jeez.

Yes, Detective Lee.

What?

He got arrested for murder?

Got it. Thanks.

See you in court.

Can you testify for me that...

...I cooperated with the police investigation?

Really?

It wasn't all a lie.

The other team did actually arrest a murderer.

What?

Why do you look at me like that?

I haven't seen that look in a while.

Impressive.

You're looking at me as if...

...you're surprised to see how smart I am.

–That's not true. –Are you sure?

Isn't that what you were thinking?

But that's how you're looking at me right now.

Goodness.

Regarding the matter, there is no legal obligation.

During the auditing process, the chance of winning...

Where did everyone go in the middle of the day?

I'll call them.

Next news.

–At today's retrial of... –Assemblyman Park.

–What?

–...the Lt. Colonel Cha murder case,

–a voice recording that may infer...

–I think you should see this.

...the true culprit was released.

The recording contains information of the corruption committed by...

...Park Si–kang, an assemblyman...

...and Chu Myung–geun, chairman of Songil Foundation...

...when the Yurion attack helicopters

were imported 10 years ago.

In the midst of all this,

an e–mail was sent to news outlets...

...with information that supports the content of the recording.

Darn it.

Long time no see.

Where have you been all this time?

All over the place.

So what brings you here?

I need some money.

Money?

Why would you come to me for money?

If I break my silence...

...it'll be revealed that...

...you're a murderer.

Perhaps that's a misunderstanding.

Someone else killed him that day.

I saw it between the doors.

You shot him.

That officer was...

...still alive.

I don't think so.

Don't deny it. I saw it clearly with my own eyes.

I see. Is that right?

I'll give you the money you need.

Really?

Just leave your phone number, and my assistant will call you.

Thank you.

But please don't get me wrong.

I'm just helping you out because you seem to be in a dire situation.

Yes, sir.

Gosh.

Jeez.

He's just keeping his silence until the end.

He's still finished regardless.

We got the search warrant, sir.

–Let's go. –Yes, sir.

–Let's go in. –Yes, sir.

Get started.

–Yes, sir. –Yes, sir.

(Songil Foundation)

Get all the documents and data files...

–...since he's facing corruption charges.

–Yes, sir.

Captain, you've got to see this.

(Memorandum of Understanding)

(Memorandum of Understanding)

Assemblyman Park Si–kang, bring my son...

...back to life.

–Bring him back! –Bring him back!

An assemblyman...

–...that murders. –Darn it.

–Arrest him! –I can't even go outside.

–Step down! –Step down!

Step down!

–Step down! –Step down!

Park Si–kang.

Resign from...

–...the National Assembly! –What now?

–Resign! –Resign!

–What did you say? –The National Assembly...

Expel me from the party?

They can't do that!

Who cares about the media?

They can't just expel me!

What's this about?

Police.

If you're here because of the recording...

...it was fabricated and I'm being framed.

(Memorandum of Understanding)

You're under arrest...

...for receiving kickbacks from the attack helicopter deal.

You'll need to come with us.

By the way...

...here's the arrest warrant.

(Arrest Warrant)

I'm an assemblyman.

You mere cops can't do this to me.

Assemblyman or not,

if you break the law, we'll arrest you.

What's the name of your chief?

Forget it.

Get the commissioner general now!

Goodness. Unbelievable.

What are you doing? Take him now!

–Yes, sir. –Yes, sir.

Get off of me, you punk.

Get off of me, you filthy punk.

–Stay still. –I'm a nephew of a president.

This scum.

Let me go. Let me go!

Even if you're the president himself...

...if you commit a crime, you get punished. Got that?

What are you waiting for? Arrest him.

–Yes, sir. –Yes, sir.

Get off. Get off of me! I can't go.

I'm not going!

I can't go.

Get off of me, you punk.

That hurts!

What a scumbag.

(Sentencing Hearing for the Retrial)

Defendant.

Proceed with your final statement.

In order to...

...save my son's life...

...I made a choice that I shouldn't have.

And I deeply apologize...

...to the victim...

...who couldn't get the surgery...

...and died...

...because of the choice I made.

As for the Black Bear Project...

...it should not have been approved.

However, I did not report the manipulation

of the inspection report...

...and I abetted corruption.

Not only did my actions result in a

colossal waste of budget for our country...

...but innocent lives were sacrificed...

...because of the...

...attack helicopter crash.

In addition...

...it resulted in prolonging the power...

...of people like Park Si–kang and Chu Myung–geun.

Your Honor.

Regardless of the ruling...

...I'm not innocent.

The court acknowledges that...

...the defendant did not take action

even though he had knowledge...

...of a situation that could

critically impact national security.

However, given that this trial...

...does not concern the corruption of the Black Bear Project...

...this court cannot charge the defendant

for his wrongdoing.

I'll announce the verdict for Case Number 2019–517...

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

Verdict.

The court finds Defendant Choi Pil– soo...

...not guilty.

He's not guilty.

–He's cleared of his charges. –Amazing.

[K-Plus Asia ver.] Confession E16 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92

You should visit Mom.

There is somewhere...

...I really want to go before that.

(Ha Myung–soo, August 20, 1966 – March 14, 2009)

I'm very...

I'm very sorry.

(Ha Myung–soo, August 20, 1966 – March 14, 2009)

Dad, you must be so happy.

So many people come visit you.

Dad, I'm going to travel a bit.

You'll be okay without me, right?

I'll come visit again when I'm back.

Go ahead, Dad.

Sure. Thanks.

Should we order some drinks?

How come you're not drinking?

I'm okay actually.

I just wanted my son to pour me a glass.

Is there anything else...

...you want to do together?

How about going to a sauna?

What else?

We can do everything from now on.

That's not hard to do at all.

For me...

...it's not so easy.

Dad.

Please have some food.

Sounds good. You too, son.

I heard the hiking course from here to there...

...is totally amazing.

I want to go backpacking until my legs tire out.

When do you think you'll be back?

Perhaps, when I get tired from walking?

How are things with Mr. Choi?

Please take care of him while I'm gone.

I want to cook a meal for you.

At least have that before you go, okay?

Sure, definitely.

(Ministry of Justice, Prisoner Transport)

What do you want?

I'm curious.

Do you still not feel apologetic?

To whom?

How can you not know?

The victims that were sacrificed because of you.

Why should I be apologetic?

When you work on national matters...

...you have to endure unavoidable casualties.

If you worry about such matters...

...you can't accomplish much.

Look, Detective.

This world is not so simple.

I don't agree.

It is very simple.

We live in the same world.

Do you think a deep–rooted tree...

...will be shaken just because one of its branches broke off?

Of course...

...there will always be people like you.

And I'll keep putting them behind bars.

I'll catch them again...

...and again.

Until they're all gone for good.

(Maintain Order)

Do you know me?

No, I don't.

Then why are you staring at me like that?

Why?

Senile moron.

Inmate 82.

Go ahead, ma'am.

You don't want to go in together?

I made...

...a promise to your son.

I'll come visit him again...

...after I finish everything.

That means...

...it's not over yet, then.

Madam Jin.

Actually...

...since the moment we first met...

...I've been having a recurring dream...

...about a car accident.

And...

...every time that happens...

Did my son's heart say...

...he could represent the man...

...who murdered him?

I felt that...

...it was my heart that was crying.

I'll be back.

(No Sun–hoo, May 25, 1978 – March 1, 2009)

Why are you doing this, sir?

Haven't you done enough?

What's enough? This is just the beginning.

Isn't it enough that you got...

...Chu Myung–geun for instigating Kim Sun–hee's murder?

You even got Park Si–kang.

So what?

Just end it here?

And let the defense industry corruption slide?

Gosh.

The prosecution is...

...making a fuss and showing their disapproval.

There are more than 20 assemblymen that are involved in this.

It doesn't end there.

Even the vice minister of National Defense may be involved.

Yes, that's why...

...we need to catch them.

We've got to put them away!

Goodness. Let's not go that route.

If this goes wrong, the entire country

will turn upside down.

We've done enough.

Enough, my foot.

If it's necessary, then turn it upside down.

So you got so scared...

...that you just handed it over to the prosecution?

You didn't even try!

They are the prosecution.

What else was I supposed to do...

...when they were demanding I hand it over?

Gosh, darn it.

Hey, wait. Choon–ho!

Choon–ho!

Hello, sir.

All the reporters are framing this as...

...corrupt acts committed individually by

Chu Myung–geun and Park Si–kang.

They're trying to systematically cover this up.

Actually, it's not surprising.

I guess it's not easy...

...since a number of assemblymen are involved?

That's right.

Even the prosecution can't

just disregard the National Assembly.

On top of it, they want to cover it up even more...

...since high–ranking government officials are involved.

What if a special counsel were to be appointed?

A special counsel?

Yes.

But the political community needs to be

mobilized to make it happen.

But it won't be easy for someone to take the lead.

I agree.

Even if some showed support, it'd require a large number.

At least there is some movement.

I guess we just have to wait.

–Chu Myung–geun is human trash. –Seriously.

–Jeez. –This is so scandalous.

(President Kang Jae–chul Appoints Attorney

Kim Hyung–guk as a Special Counsel)

Gosh. We're finally well– coordinated,

and this has to happen.

I want to ask you something.

What is it?

Why would they pick you...

...over a talented person like me?

–Goodness. –Nonsense.

I know, you punk.

I was just joking.

Take care, sir.

–See you when you come back. –Sure.

Don't get rid of my desk, Captain Seo.

Don't even think about coming back...

...if you don't do a good job there.

I'll be going now.

Attention.

Salute.

We wish you the best, sir.

Good morning!

Good morning, Madam Jin.

You haven't had any breakfast yet, right?

No, not yet.

You need to have a good breakfast...

...for your brain to function properly.

Yes, I see.

Here you go.

Goodness.

–You prepared so much. –Did I?

Thank you for the food.

Yu–ri would have been happy...

...if she saw this.

(Ace News)

(Ace News, Ha Yu–ri)

I think she'll be pleasantly surprised...

...when she returns and sees how we decorated it for her.

Do you think she'll come back to this office?

Of course.

She loves this office.

Maybe I shouldn't have asked her to work with me at this office.

Yu–ri just needs...

...some time on her own.

I miss her so much...

...now that we're talking about her.

Please eat.

Yes, thank you.

All right.

Wait, this is really good.

Is it really?

It's delicious.

–Try this one too. –Okay.

What are these?

Those are beef pancakes.

–I see. –Good?

You make really good pancakes.

I can make other things well too.

–Don't you think? –I see.

(Interrogation Room)

I'm Choi Do–hyun, the appointed assistant special prosecutor...

...for the special counsel.

I recommended you...

...for the assistant special prosecutor

position for this investigation.

(Assistant special prosecutors support the

special counsel and direct investigations)

I am acquainted with Attorney Kim Hyung–guk...

...the special counsel.

Why didn't you take...

...the position yourself?

Once there was someone who was well–suited for the special counsel

role.

I think you're...

...also very well–suited for it.

You should take a look at this.

Even if you maintain your silence...

...it doesn't really affect our investigation on...

...Park Myung–seok, the former president.

Where did you get this?

Jenny Song sent it to me...

...so that I can catch you.

Jeez.

Mr. Chu.

If that prosecutor...

...hadn't gotten murdered...

...you'd have been arrested...

...10 years ago.

He would have stopped your greed for power.

That prosecutor's willpower...

(Prosecution)

...brought you...

...and the people like you...

...to this court.

(Defendant)

Therefore I ask you.

Defendant Chu Myung–geun.

Do you admit to...

...all charges?
