No...

No.

Jung-woo.

Open this.

Jung-woo.

What happened to Sung-kyu?

They moved him to the hospital, but...

Well...

Early this morning, in the holding cell of the prosecutor's office,

the Wolha-dong Murder Case's culprit, Lee Sung-kyu, was found dead.

What was the cause of death?

We suspect suicide.

Why did the culprit who testified that there was an accomplice

suddenly commit suicide?

We believe that he may have felt cornered. We found security footage

that suggests that he acted alone. We also found a recording of the culprit

threatening former prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

Then what will happen to Mr. Park Jung-woo?

Wasn't this your case, Prosecutor Kang Joon-hyuk?

If Park Jung-woo is found not guilty of this crime, what will you do?

We will address that after the retrial.

Chief.

Sung-kyu wouldn't have committed suicide.

That's how I feel too.

However, there was nothing on the security footage.

Besides using the bathroom, the guard on duty never left his post.

Cha Min-ho was behind this.

I will look into it some more.

The autopsy report will be out soon.

Lawyer Seo Eun-hye.

Please continue to look after Jung-woo's retrial.

Yes, sir.

The prosecution will say Lee Sung-kyu committed suicide

and claim that he was working alone.

That would be what Cha Min-ho wants.

He wanted to prevent, in any way possible, standing in court as Sung-kyu's accomplice.

If that does happen...

If you can acknowledge it...

You could get a not guilty...

No.

Oh right, were you startled by this yesterday? This...

The roommates were just joking around.

Change into this.

You seemed to like this.

Let's go out for some exercise after you finish eating this.

Why would you die?

You didn't do it.

You weren't the one who did it.

It was me.

Jung-woo. I can't trust anyone.

You have to come.

Hold this.

Go on.

I'll be okay.

Sung-kyu...

Yes, Deputy.

Finish it that way.

Then Park Jung-woo will be released?

We have to put out the most urgent fire first.

[Prosecution files for an arrest warrant for Cha Sun-ho today]

This is your father's slush fund history.

Even he won't be able to get out of this.

That's right, it was me.

You ungrateful girl!

You...

Father.

She's the one who gave the documents to the prosecutor's office.

I know.

What? You knew about it?

Yes.

Then why didn't you do anything?

Go outside.

You little... You ruined your brother and now you're trying to ruin Chamyoung?

You're the one who ruined Chamyoung.

What?

I said you are the one who is ruining Chamyoung.

How dare you...

When Sun-ho died, I shouldn't have looked the other way.

I shouldn't have gotten rid of that knife.

I made the wrong choice.

Even if I did kill Sun-ho or did anything else...

You would have only cared about Chamyoung.

You were just worried that I would do something to Chamyoung.

Stop it.

You little!

I am not the Cha Min-ho that cries and gets beaten by you anymore.

I am Cha Sun-ho.

Make your choice.

If you want to continue living as Cha Sun-ho,

then go to prison like you promised.

If not, confess to all your crimes and go to prison as Cha Min-ho.

No.

I will not go to prison for anyone.

It's the file history of all the slush funds you took out.

If this gets out, even you won't get away with it.

What are you doing?

If you have no other choice but to send me to prison, you will have to go with me.

Without you and I... What will happen to Chamyoung?

Cha Min-ho!

The Chamyoung that you love so much...

If one person needs to suffer for Chamyoung, think long and hard about who that should be.

It was... It was all for you guys.

It was all for us?

For as long as I lived, I never once wanted Chamyoung.

It was what you wanted.

I went through so much pain because of you.

Why do you think I turned out like this? Why?

Stop it!

What you needed wasn't a son, you needed someone to lead Chamyoung.

Since Sun-ho isn't here, I said I'd do it.

Think about what's best for Chamyoung.

Min-ho... Min-ho.

Father?

No...

Father.

Min-ho...

Father.

Sun-ho helped me too.

No one ever found out.

They won't find out about this either.

Just once... Save me.

Thank you, father.

I will protect... Chamyoung.

Sir.

Father isn't here.

What?

He told me to come in.

He told me to come in as well,

but he isn't here.

Let's go.

Okay.

Father.

With Chairman Cha Young-woon's sudden death

the prosecution's investigation against Chamyoung has ceased.

It has been revealed that the split accounting

and the slush fund set ups were ordered by Chairman Cha Young-woon.

The prosecutor's office was unable to indict President Cha Sun-ho.

You must be in shock.

You did well.

Yes.

I will ask my last question.

Defendant?

Did the deceased, Lee Sung-kyu, kill your wife, Yoon Ji-soo,

kidnap your daughter, Park Ha-yun,

and threaten you? Is he the culprit?

Defendant.

Please answer the question.

Jung-woo.

Just do this.

If you do, you can get released and go to Ha-yun.

Yes.

That's correct.

[Two Months Later]

[Inauguration of Chamyoung Group's New Chairman Cha Sun-ho]

Hello, President Cha Sun-ho.

No, is it chairman now?

It's been a while.

What should I call you?

I am Seoul Central District Homicide Prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

Prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

Why are you having such fancy inauguration party when you'll only be

in the position for less than a month?

We shall see whether I'm here for a month or ten years.

Didn't you make a deal of not bothering Chamyoung group

to be brought back as a prosecutor, Prosecutor Park?

When did I bother Chamyoung?

I'm only chasing one person.

Oh, our Min-ho...

As you may already know,

my voice isn't what it used to be after my thyroid surgery.

My voice doesn't come out so well either.

My hands... You should remember what happened.

Even my dental records are gone due to an error at Chamyoung Hospital.

Even I think this has become a difficult situation.

With this opportunity, why don't you just come to work for Lee and Park Law Firm?

No. I think Chamyoung Group's legal team would suit you better.

Chamyoung Group Legal Team Manager Park Jung-woo.

Sounds nice.

You can be my lawyer. You can also accompany me to the prosecutor's office...

I will accompany you to the courthouse,

as a prosecutor.

As a prosecutor...

But Prosecutor Park.

What if I don't cause any trouble and live the rest of my life quietly?

I'll have no reason to go to the courthouse. What would you do then?

You're going to live quietly?

It's not like I've caused any trouble.

Just a few minor events from time to time.

But isn't this amusing?

It's not like some people don't know who I really am.

Yet, they keep quiet and pretend like they don't know.

Except for one person.

Why does the food taste like this?

Maybe it's because of who I'm eating it with.

Let's pay separately.

What the... I only have $5.

Will $5 be enough?

See you around.

Ji-soo.

Money? I can earn money too.

How much could they give you anyway?

You look best when you're working as a prosecutor.

Don't you dare think about anything else.

Yes... I will make him pay for his sins.

Tae-soo is taking some time off work so that he can watch Ha-yun

with your mother as well.

Don't worry about us.

I miss you so much. Ji-soo.

Sung-kyu.

I trust you,

like you trusted me.

When this is all over, will you let me see Ha-yun one more time?

Ha-yun says she misses Uncle Sung-kyu.

I will bring Ha-yun with me next time.

After you get released today, when will you be back?

After dinner?

Come on, really...

Still, since I'm going outside I should at least fill these nostrils with fresh air...

So... I'll be back tomorrow morning?

Stop coming back in here.

You need a fresh start.

Even when I do get released,

it's not like there's anyone out there to greet me. No one will hire me.

I feel at peace when I'm here.

Everyone is in the same situation too.

You should still look.

Who knows? Someone might hire you.

I will.

He says that now, but he'll be in front of the police station tomorrow.

But Mong-chi... I haven't heard from him since he got released.

People change once they see money.

Now, 2835 come on out.

Okay.

Don't come out, don't come out.

Hey.

Don't come back.

You'll miss me if I don't come back.

I'm getting released soon too.

Then what about our elder?

Don't worry about me and go.

Okay, I'll be back soon.

I'm really leaving.

Go, you punk!

Woo Byoung-joo.

Oh, Woo Byoung-joo... Right.

It's been a while since I've heard my name.

Let's go.

Yes. Please, take good care of those two.

Good job.

I'm sorry.

Woo-ruk.

Hey, you...

Don't you recognize your cell mate?

Here, eat this.

I'll be back in here next month...

I told you I like it here.

So ignorant... Eat.

Let's go. I'll buy you something delicious.

Did you walk here?

I have a driver over there.

Really?

Are these designer clothes?

Nope.

Whoa, you look so cool.

Now that everyone is gone, the room will be quieter.

It changes all the time anyways.

Elder.

You have a visitor.

Visitor? Me?

Who is it?

This is the first time anyone's come to visit you.

I know.

Come on out.

Hello.

Who are you...

I was Park Jung-woo's lawyer. I am Public Defender Seo Eun-hye.

Yes.

I heard about you.

Have a seat.

Yes.

Is 3866 doing well?

Yes.

He returned to his job as a prosecutor and is in good health, so don't worry.

That's good to hear.

But why did you come see me?

Mr. Park asked me for a favor.

3866 did?

Yes.

I have a favor to ask of you.

There was someone in my cell room who was framed just like me.

I want you to oversee his appeal trial.

Me?

It won't be easy.

But why me?

Because you moved me, Public Defender Seo Eun-hye.

Elder.

You should prove your innocence.

I've already lived here for 20 years...

I heard that you took the blame, just like Mr. Park. To save your wife.

I'm alright.

Then...

It will be 20 years soon.

Then the case records will be destroyed.

It will be difficult to request an appeal then, sir.

Who was the prosecutor on your case?

Now that Cha Sun-ho is the chairman,

the UN dispatch looks like child's play.

Ask him to send you to the Blue House.

You can ask that much.

It's alright.

For a prosecutor to get promoted, do you know what the most important thing is?

I am not sure...

Skill? Support? No...

It's forgetting that you're a prosecutor.

Do you remember the Prosecutor's Oath?

I am a brave prosecutor who will walk through the darkness of uncertainty.

I am a warm prosecutor who will look after those who are weak and unfortunate.

I am a fair prosecutor who will only follow the truth.

It all sounds nice.

However, there's no need to become that kind of prosecutor.

Only those who are naturally talented keep to that oath.

Like him...

Park Jung-woo... Is today his first day back at work?

Yes, today is his first day back.

But why is he coming back here?

He probably wants to come back.

To where he belongs.

I swear to become tough on myself to do my utmost

to serve the people and my country.

Attention.

Joon-hyuk.

Jung-woo.

It seems as if nothing has changed much here.

I don't think our current relationship allows this kind of conversation.

What is it that you want to say?

Lee Sung-kyu... Do you really think it was suicide?

There was no issue with the security footage or the guard on duty.

That night, you and Lee Sung-kyu were the only ones in the holding cells.

So what should I be suspicious of?

Cha Min-ho.

You know it too. This was all Cha Min-ho's doing.

Who knows? Aren't prosecutors supposed to speak through the evidence?

Even with your case, I only trusted the evidence.

Evidence?

You only trusted the evidence you wanted to trust.

Why should I have to hear this from someone who got a not guilty verdict

at the appeals court, and then returned as a prosecutor?

Doesn't testifying in court that Lee Sung-kyu was the culprit

make you the same as me?

I'm sure now that you've been released, you want to catch Cha Min-ho.

I understand how you feel.

But what if you can't catch him?

Then Lee Sung-kyu will forever remain a murderer.

Kang Joon-hyuk.

How are you different from me?

I will reinvestigate one by one.

Who did what and who covered up what...

I just hope that you weren't a part of that.

And if I was?

I didn't mean anything by it.

I was just curious as to what you think you could do? If I was involved.

See? Nothing has changed in 8 months.

And it will be the same from now on too.

Fine.

Let's talk about it then.

[Homicide Prosecutor Park Jung-woo]

Prosecutor.

You really don't have any plans for a second child?

It's good to have lots of kids, even meets government recommendations.

Then maybe I should try tonight?

Good luck.

Detective.

Prosecutor.

I'm here.

Do you know how long it took me to convince him to leave the hospital?

I didn't think I'd be of much help. My body is in this state.

That's not true.

Just seeing your face brings me confidence.

You've been through so much.

It's nothing compared to what you went through.

I want to stand up soon and run around with you.

You will.

It will happen.

I will return everything back to the way it was.

Don't you like being back here?

I had to pull some strings to get you the same office.

Thank you, Chief.

He's in there.

It's been two hours since he went in.

That's the car.

You look cool.

Today was your first day back, right?

Now that you returned as a prosecutor,

you'll arrest that punk and get me released, right?

I'm sorry, this is all because of me.

We're on the same side. Why are you saying that?

It's alright.

See? I haven't gotten caught and I'm doing just fine.

I can get an appeal trial later...

You'll get me out of the escape charge, right? No prosecution.

Will you be alright until then?

Are you worrying about me right now? Making me feel obligated.

Is it okay for a prosecutor to worry about a gang member?

There he is.

He's been quiet these days.

Since Chairman Cha died there's been no need for Cha Min-ho to cause any trouble.

He's the key to catching Cha Min-ho.

Where is that little punk going?

Why did he come here again?

He spends at least 2 hours inside there.

Something's not right.

That guy is full of mysteries.

He always wears black. Same black clothes, same black hat...

Park Jung-woo.

Sitting here like this with you, it really feels like we're investigating, right?

We are technically investigating.

I get to investigate with Park Jung-woo.

When we were chased out of the funeral home,

running in our socks, we almost died!

Do you remember?

What is that?

Hold on tight.

Step on it! Okay, okay.

That little punk...

He's coming.

He's still coming.

Hold on!

Wall! Wall!

My arm hurts...

I thought I was a goner.

He baited us.

How did he know our location?

Could it be...

Shin Chul-shik!

Yeah.

Wow, he's a scary punk.

Putting this on a prosecutor's car.

This was a warning to me.

Why?

He had no intent to kill us.

If he did, he would've just ran us over with his headlights off.

You're right.

Kim Suk.

Yes, Detective.

I need you to run a plate for me.

The plate number is Seoul 06 RO 7541

and it's a dump truck.

Please hurry.

Park Jung-woo was tailing you?

He probably wanted to find something.

Just stay low for a while.

Isn't he working too hard on his first day?

How do you feel?

You got what you wanted.

I didn't think your father would end up like that.

I only wanted this, so you wouldn't get hurt.

When you left me and married Sun-ho, I understood

why that was the only decision you could make.

You must've hated Chamyoung after your father passed away.

I understand.

I want to ask one thing.

Is your revenge over?

I'm the only one left at Chamyoung.

Don't misunderstand.

It's nothing like that.

It doesn't matter.

Chamyoung isn't the thing I want.

I heard Park Jung-woo has returned as a prosecutor.

Keep your promise.

Whatever happens to protect Eun-soo and me.

My little angel... Not even asking about your mom because you don't want to worry us.

You are so sweet...

How does it feel to return to work?

This is just the beginning.

Tae-soo.

Is it frustrating spending your vacation time stuck at home?

No, it's fine.

I'm happy because I get to see Ha-yun.

I'll take care of everything soon...

I'll make sure you can go to work, just wait a little longer.

Jung-woo, be careful.

Ji-soo wouldn't want you to be in danger.

I'll be rooting from the sidelines.

Thank you, Tae-soo.

Daddy, wake up.

Our Ha-yun.

Daddy, wake up. You need to go to work.

Ha-yun.

Is this a dream?

It's not a dream.

Grandma.

Starting tomorrow, you don't need to do this.

He must know that I'm Cha Min-ho...

Secretary Kim.

Yes, Chairman.

Let's have a drink today.

Yes, sir.

Min-ho...

Sun-ho helped me too.

No one ever found out.

Just once... Save me.

Father... I'm sorry.

Chairman Cha Sun-ho.

Sun-ho, do you like it?

You finally became a chairman.

Father. I'm sorry.

Chairman.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Should I move your things into this room?

No.

I'm going to leave this room empty for a while.

Yes. I understand.

This is Cha Min-ho's schedule for this week.

Where did you get this?

I have an informant inside Chamyoung.

An informant? Who is it?

I will tell you later.

Can we trust him?

Yes.

He's a trustworthy person.

What kind of information will we be getting?

Anything that is related to Cha Min-ho, his personal schedule,

and inside documents. That's what we're getting.

Yes, if we want to catch him we'll need something.

His name is Kim Suk.

He's probably the one behind your case.

He is working as Cha Min-ho's underling.

Then, Lee Sung-kyu too?

Yes.

If we can catch this guy, we can catch Cha Min-ho.

After Chairman Cha died, he's been very careful.

It will be frustrating for Cha Min-ho as well.

Now that he's the chairman,

he will be more wary of those who know his true identity.

Since it could be revealed at any time.

Especially of Kim Suk since he took care of everything for him.

Is there a way to catch him?

Jennifer Lee is currently missing.

Before disappearing, she met with Cha Min-ho.

What are you going to do?

From what I found, she's the only one around Cha Min-ho

that has gone missing.

She's probably dead.

And?

I'm going to shake him with this.

Cha Min-ho.

You must find Ha-yun.

I will find the knife and get rid of it.

Uncle!

Ha-yun.

Did you have fun today?

Good job.

Uncle.

What is it?

I saw Uncle Joon-hyuk.

Uncle Joon-hyuk?

Let's go, Ha-yun.

Grandma is waiting for us.

[Appeals Requisition]

I heard that you took the blame, just like Mr. Park, to save your wife.

Feels nice.

Appeals Requisition?

Elder.

Are you going to request an appeal?

No, someone came to give it to me.

You should do it.

You can get a not guilty verdict any time during an appeal trial.

The ones who died were the bad guys.

How could they do that to their daughter and little sisters?

Those guys are the worst.

Death isn't enough for people like them.

That's enough.

I'm alright.

Thank you, Chief.

Did you get consent from the family?

Yes.

They want to find her as soon as possible.

Then I will take care of the rest.

Don't worry about anything and go.

Yes, sir.

Chief Choi.

This is Choi Dae-hong...

If we find Jennifer Lee, can we catch that punk?

But how do we find a missing person?

We don't know if they buried her or threw her in the water.

He knows.

Of course, he knows. He's the one that took care of it.

How are you going to get him to talk?

I don't think he'll ever talk.

Just wait, he'll lead us right to her.

The body of a missing Korean-American, Jennifer Lee, has been found.

After entering Korea three months ago, Jennifer Lee did not

return to her family as planned, leading them to file a missing persons...

What's going on?

That can't be.

Something must have happened.

Am I right?

We'll know after we follow him.

If the chairman finds out...

How did they find her?

He's going really far.

Cha Sun-ho's villa in Yang-pyoung is nearby here.

Really?

Then he did something at the villa.

If something did happen at the villa, then she should be nearby.

Of course, there's no way they could have found it.

Kim Suk.

Is Jennifer Lee here?

Did you kill our Big Boss?

You killed Sung-kyu too.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Put down the toy. You're going to get hurt.

What are you going to do with that?

That little punk...

We should've gotten drinks sooner...

We missed the opportunity.

Here you go.

Because of you, working has been comfortable.

It's alright, sir.

Did my father treat you well?

Yes.

He treated me very well.

You must be sad, right?

Excuse me? Of course...

I see.

A lot has happened in the past few months...

Min-ho leaving us like that... My father as well...

Did you share a lot of information about me to my father?

It's alright.

It's all in the past.

I knew you were one of my father's people. That's why I used you as my secretary.

Can I trust you from now on?

Yes, Chairman.

You can answer it.

Yes.

Yes, I will let the chairman know.

Chairman, JD Group's representative, Jung Yoon-suk,

would like to have lunch with you tomorrow.

JD Group's Jung Yoon-suk...

I'll be meeting lots of new people now.

Chairman. I will take you home.

I need to stop by the company.

Take him to Chamyoung.

Be careful on your back, sir.

I had a good time.

See you tomorrow.

Yes.

He's left for the office.

Prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

Thank you.

Why did you change your mind?

When I went to see you when President Cha Sun-ho died,

you didn't say anything.

Back then, the chairman did not give me any orders.

And now?

President Cha is watching me.

If he considers me dispensable,

he could kill me at any time.

I understand.

What you are saying...

Who is JD's Jung Yoon-suk?

Did you kill Jennifer Lee?

Prosecutor Park Jung-woo.

What are you talking about?

I think I've found Jennifer Lee.

What?

Kim Suk graciously showed me where she is.

I told you.

That you won't last a month.

But now, you won't even last a week.

You lie very beautifully.

[Kim Suk]

What did you think I was doing for the last two months?

Park Jung-woo!

You're done.

Cha Min-ho.
