This is the President.

Thank you, Lawyer.

Thanks to you,

I'm released on parole.

Good work.

Have a seat.

Please eat.

Yes.

So...

Congratulations on your release.

As promised,

your family...

has been moved to the US.

Where...

in the US is this?

We'll let you know after it's over.

That is best for your family's safety.

Park Young Tae will continue chasing you.

Even if I show a lifetime of gratitude,

it won't be enough.

The President himself went...

and took care of them.

Don't look at me with those eyes.

From the start, I didn't have any intention...

of saving people like you.

President Han Kwang Chul.

And...

we've made sure your son gets rehabilitation.

You don't have to worry.

Your son's name is Young Wook, right?

He said his dream was to become a scientist.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I only drove that night.

I'm serious.

The top gave orders...

to completely eliminate you.

But I couldn't do it.

I...

have a son and a family.

So, I told them to stop.

Believe me.

After that,

I clashed with them over every little thing.

It was difficult working with them.

In the end,

I was called a betrayer and my son...

was in an accident.

It's a common method they use...

to get rid of people.

In your organization,

to get the one at the very top...

It's Park Young Tae.

That's what I mean, Park Young Tae!

Give us information so we can get him.

I have a request.

Let me get the one who hurt my son.

Aren't you...

targeting the organization?

This is the only road to the storage building facility.

If we wait,

they'll appear soon.

If you're playing mind games trying to earn time...

What is this?

I'm sorry, our car broke down.

You have to move it aside.

Huh?

The ignition won't start.

Where?

Inside there.

It's that guy.

Long time no see, Choi Hyun Ki.

Look who this is!

You haven't forgotten, right?

You told the boss I was a betrayer.

Why are you doing this?

If I called you a betrayer,

it wasn't my plan.

In the box we sent to Korea,

a small piece of luggage was caught.

You became the scapegoat. Scapegoat.

You wanted to shut my mouth by calling me a betrayer.

You targeted my son as well!

- What are you doing? - Hey.

My son...

You disfigured him for life.

These guys...

one by one...

I'll find them...

...and kill them.

Killing animals...

...isn't murder.

That's enough.

Back then, this man...

...was also in the basement.

Don't you want him to die?

Seo... Seo...

Seo In Ae.

Save me.

I just did as ordered.

Save me.

Hyungnim.

Your name?

Choi Hyun Ki.

Employment?

Daeryuk Company.

Thailand regional manager.

Who ordered you to terrorize Seo In Ae?

Hurry up and say it.

We already know everything.

Park Young Tae.

Louder.

It was Park Young Tae.

And the evidence?

I got orders by phone.

Save me.

I'll be killed if he finds out.

What did Daeryuk Company do in Thailand?

This time...

do you want your corpse to float in the Han River?

We mostly smuggled weapons and bullion.

And a bit of drugs, too.

Daeryuk Company CEO Kim Chul Soo...

do you know who he is?

No.

I don't.

This is my lifeline.

Spare me.

Spare me.

Tell me the reason why I should spare you.

I never even saw that person once.

Park Young Tae.

All of this was his orders.

Look at this.

All of the boxes contain trash.

I knew it.

They're sending trash from Thailand.

It's Daeryuk Company's technique.

All they need is evidence of shipped goods.

So, the accounting books are clear.

Chil Sung.

This material...

take pictures for our records.

Alright.

Master.

Call the police first.

For now...

let's turn him in for tax evasion.

Will it be okay to turn him over to the police?

I'm sure In Ae has thought about it.

Anyways,

President Han, earlier...

you held back well.

Chil Sung.

Put the liquor in the Incheon carpentry workshop for now.

Alright.

Yes.

Yangpyung Police Station?

What do they want?

How dare they call this place!

Who's Choi Hyun Ki?

Tell the Chief to call directly!

It's me.

Choi Hyun Ki has been caught by the police.

Report the situation and remove evidence of involvement.

Make a move before he says anything crucial.

Who dares to provoke me?

Huh?

You're right.

My father is on the Prime Minister's side.

They're close enough for my father to want me to marry Kim Tae Kyung.

Tae Cho Ae.

Just tell us the reason you want to meet us.

Father and I are different.

Times have changed.

A young person like me can't have an old-fashioned reasoning.

Your point?

If I vote righteously,

I would vote for you.

That's why I want to meet today.

President Tae Cho Ae.

Yes.

I'll tell you my real point.

In exchange for covering up President Han Kwang Chul's mistake,

I want to take out insurance on you.

My brother's illegal corruption charge at Tae Kwang...

Cover that up.

That's all...

I want to say.

You're suppressing a war among princes.

I don't think my covering up your brother's corruption will solve it. Look around you.

I understand what you mean.

I won't...

join hands with anyone carelessly.

Did Se Kyung really return?

Yes.

Tae Kyung brought her.

That's what your son goes around doing.

Se Kyung.

Father.

Are...

...you sick?

No.

I'm just tired.

Don't go.

Don't go where you don't want to go.

Stay with me.

- Father... - Yes...

Don't go.

Don't leave...

...me again.

I won't go.

Go ahead.

Alright.

Goodness.

I can't tell who's the General and who's the petty officer.

Grandpa, I'm sorry. Don't die.

Grandpa's not dead.

Suk Ho, you're good at shooting, right?

Daddy's coming down.

Goodness.

Daddy.

What were you playing?

War with Grandpa.

Who won?

Han Suk Ho.

Suk Ho's always breaking Grandpa's undefeated record.

I feel good even though I always lose.

Father, I'm ready for my trip.

Oh...

Okay.

Daddy, are you going to the US again?

Yeah.

Daddy's going on a trip again.

Dear, put on your jacket.

Is it already time?

Grandpa, let's wrestle more.

Should we? Let's go.

One, two...

Let's wrestle.

One, two...

Up you go.

I saw Seo In Ae while watching TV.

They were making a fuss.

I guess she's worthy of being among the top ten leaders for the next generation.

You've...

become the Blue House special advisor to fly to the US and Beijing.

Seo In Ae has become an esteemed lawyer.

As for my brother-in-law...

Economics reporters are chasing him looking for news.

Everyone is breaking the glass ceiling.

I'm the only one walking in the same place.

You're a full-time housewife.

There's no position more important.

Look at your mother.

Can't I just...

go to the US with you?

We're going to return immediately after visiting the US Congress. Our schedule is tight.

I know.

I know, too.

I'll call as soon as we arrive, honey.

Next time...

let's take Suk Ho with us.

Courthouse

We're here...

as Jun Ji Hae's lawyers for the forgery of official archival documents

and subsequent imprisonment.

For imprisonment...

and alleged sexual torture which occurred...

during questioning...

we're pressing charges against the interrogation team.

At the US Congress,

General Chun and Han Kwang Hoon...

are asking for equality between the US and Korea

and are holding a press conference.

Those arrogant...

Isn't this saying that they're in the US

to bring forth democracy themselves?

Han Kwang Hoon is connected to the US.

He has set up a meeting in order to make General Chun a hero.

The one who brought forth democracy in Spain.

Diego Hibaldo's words...

were quoted in his answer.

A small person...

will work on small tasks next to a big person, right?

General Chun...

let's just assume he was speaking humbly and let this one go.

Since your national support has risen,

he went to the US...

to use a high-level of political manipulation.

Special advisor Han Kwang Hoon...

He's someone...

who can ruin the Blue House in one shot.

Director.

It's big trouble.

The lawyers led by Seo In Ae...

will...

dig into the Incheon sexual torture incident.

Wh... What?

The Incheon laborers are barely being physically suppressed.

If an unprecedented sexual torture incident blows up,

it's likely to usher in the collapse of our regime.

We must stop them immediately.

Did you say Lawyer Seo In Ae?

Yes.

Seo In Ae...

she interviewed the lawyers herself.

What is the Security Department doing?

Nobody knew it was happening.

I, along with...

120 members of the legal counsel, charge...

the culprit of the sexual torture, Lee Kyu Sung,

the police chief and...

those directly and indirectly involved.

They have been formally charged in court.

Did the unprecedented sexual torture really occur?

The brutality fit to be condemned in Heaven and earth...

which occurred in this country...

...should be revealed.

Wait and see.

Do you have solid evidence?

Are you confident about this case?

How much information do you have?

Don't you have any idea whether there's any validity to this sexual torture claim, Vice-Chief Park?

Prime Minister.

Don't you believe the police investigation findings?

The investigation already revealed there was no sexual torture.

As a lawyer just starting out,

Seo In Ae is out to become a hero.

Is this a nation where Seo In Ae can act like a hero?

Seo In Ae is more than capable.

She's standing on the shoulders of the opposition party leader.

She's got the support of the nation as Joan of Arc.

A radical movement member...

is using sex...

as a tool for the revolution.

Isn't that the analysis you came up with in your own mind?

Prime Minister.

We're...

on the same boat. Have you forgotten?

Is there a special reason...

you want to protect Seo In Ae?

I'm Seo In Ae.

Don't be afraid, Ji Hae.

Thank you for your courage.

Because of you, sunbae...

I feel stronger.

I've sat many times...

...in that same seat.

Sunbae...

I know.

It's tough, isn't it?

I'll make sure it doesn't last long.

Endure.

This is a handwritten letter...

from the Cardinal.

Dear Ji Hae...

I don't know how to console you.

For the sake of redeeming humanity and integrity,

you're standing courageously.

I trust God will protect you.

I pray for you.

At any rate,

don't lose your courage.

Leave it to the almighty God.

I pray for your health.

Yes.

Goodness.

Princess!

Daddy!

Goodness.

What are you doing here?

I threw a tantrum with unni.

A tantrum?

I threw a tantrum...

saying I wanted to come see you.

We won't stay long. We promised to leave after lunch.

What's the occasion?

I feel peaceful when I'm with Esther.

That's why.

Then shall we go eat?

Eat.

Who are they?

Are they Park Young Tae's guys?

I'm still out of it.

I'm sorry.

It's too much with Esther here.

Why don't you chew some meat instead of just drinking juice?

Forget it.

Don't worry. Let's eat.

Chil Sung will come get you.

The report is that she's meeting Han Kwang Chul.

The blood is rushing to my head.

How long must I stand by and watch?

It's better than her dying.

Actually,

Chairman Son is preparing in Japan...

to build a plant in Saudi.

Tae Kwang's Cho Ae requested to be included.

I'm keeping an eye on Se Kyung.

So, leaving her near Han Kwang Chul is saving her?

How long do I have to watch my daughter babysit Seo In Ae's daughter?

That...

I can't endure it either.

I feel like it's silent revenge.

However,

be patient for now.

How's the current at the Blue House?

I want to get rid of Prime Minister Kim first.

Crazy old man.

He's like a demented old man who can't tell friend from foe.

Be patient.

It won't be much longer.

Lately, I want to give up everything

and kidnap you and Se Kyung...

and run away to an island.

I guess it wasn't a joke

when you said you'd buy an island.

I should have made him disappear back then.

I extended Han Kwang Chul's lifespan too much.

It's a relief you're healthy enough

to watch over someone's child.

I don't think of Esther as someone else's child.

I came back to life looking after her.

She's like my flesh and blood.

When I look at Esther,

I feel like I want to live again.

Why?

Because...

I...

I...

I, what?

The Saudi plant construction that Uncle is planning...

Will you join or not?

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

The plant construction is a big venture with the Saudi royalty.

The companies working together include national transportation and port construction.

Once you participate,

you can make a career out of constructing neighboring Middle Eastern plants.

If Hanseo takes that on,

it'll become a worldwide construction company.

I'll speak to Uncle about it.

Forget it. Don't.

I was emancipated a long time ago.

I don't want to burden the Chairman.

Or receive help from you.

Then Tae Kwang will take it.

I want to see Hanseo take it.

That's my hope.

I said I won't do it.

Do it.

The next morning Jack woke up and shook his head.

The attic room was dark when it was usually filled with light in the morning.

When Jack looked out the window, he was shocked.

The tree grew so much it broke through the clouds high into the sky.

Are there really trees that break through the clouds?

Don't be shocked.

This is a secret.

But Daddy will build a house high into the sky that breaks through the clouds.

Wow, sounds nice.

Like Se Kyung intuited, Park Young Tae's second paper company

was set up in Las Vegas to conceal criminal activity.

Private organization members have gathered as well.

These members...

are Park Young Tae's entourage currently working in Las Vegas.

But...

this is to reclaim your family's funds...

but aren't you helping me more than necessary?

Don't worry about me.

What are you two talking about?

Park Young Tae...

Are you after him?

Se Kyung.

Do you remember what I told you?

If our family is to get a fresh start,

we must break free from Park Young Tae first.

We have to reclaim the family funds that he manipulates at will.

That's my first goal.

I'm glad you came.

Take Se Kyung and Esther home.

Alright.

But...

I have something to report.

Se Kyung. Can you take Esther?

Okay.

Sit.

Daeryuk Company's Choi Hyun Ki...

His corpse was discovered in the Han River.

What?

He's supposed to be in a holding cell. Why'd he turn up in the Han River?

It's the same technique as with Kim Jong Chul.

It was labeled a suicide.

Choi Hyun Ki?

The one with the information?

Park Young Tae...

It's a warning that if we're looking into the Daeryuk Company,

there will be a blockade.

It's dangerous.

Don't act on your own.

It's Park Young Tae.

Get in the car.

Take Esther and go.

What?

I...

want to talk to him.

Just ignore him and go, Se Kyung.

Go on.

Alright.

I missed you, Se Kyung.

I still regret that day.

Why didn't I pull the trigger?

I regretted it in Paris.

I still regret it now.

Se Kyung.

It's my guess that...

someday you'll make me do the same thing.

What do you mean?

You can become a person envied by the world.

Why do you worry so many people?

Ahjussi.

I came because I want to kill you.

Se Kyung.

Han Kwang Chul isn't that great.

He was the only one who can save me.

But why don't you know that?

It's because you don't have a human heart.

Se Kyung.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me. Over my dead body!

Don't ever show yourself in front of me again.

When I see you,

I'm afraid I'll become same as you.

"I'm afraid I'll become same as you?"

Se Kyung.

I came to talk about the Saudi plant construction.

For your oppa's sake, you know you have to let Tae Kwang participate, right?

Please put in a good word with Chairman Son.

Sit for now.

The Saudi plant construction...

It will become my project with Han Kwang Chul.

Se Kyung.

What about Han Kwang Chul?

Don't mess with me.

I might leave this house if you keep messing with me.

Oh, my.

Se Kyung's changed a lot.

Don't worry.

If Tae Kyung persuades her,

she'll listen.

The Saudi plant is a worldwide project.

We can't lose it.

Seo In Ae!

Seo In Ae!

Seo In Ae!

Seo In Ae!

Seo In Ae!

This...

...contains the truth.

I can't even speak aloud...

about the unprecedented brutality of the sexual torture.

The truth has been revealed.

Until everyone involved is punished according to law,

we lawyers and...

this country's people and all living things...

won't let it go.

With this one incident,

our society's legal system,

human rights, humanity and morality...

are on the line.

Seo In Ae!

The Justice Department authorities are calling.

We pulled the phones off the hook.

This time Lawyer Seo is changing the course of history.

Yes, yes.

The Cardinal's letter...

was a big help.

Yes.

Here comes Lawyer Seo, Father.

It's Father Han.

Yes, Father.

It wasn't my doing.

It was Ji Hae's decision that will change history.

The Justice Department blocked the lawyers' interview.

But Ji Hae's hunger strike with her colleagues made it possible.

I will.

Yes.

Good work, Lawyer Seo.

How must Ji Hae's parents feel...

When I think of the pain to come,

it hurts me.

The foreign media is taking an interest in this matter.

I'm going to create an English bulletin for each update.

The government authorities know this is a big incident.

They'll do everything...

to conceal this incident.

Do you want another drink?

At the airport before we left,

I received this urgent fax report.

Will Lawyer Seo In Ae reveal the wrong behind the sexual torture?

This isn't a normal incident.

If this is the truth, the nation will be in another uproar.

At Kimpo Airport,

there will be reporters waiting.

What side are you on?

Seo In Ae...

Do you believe she'll dig up the concealed truth?

Seo In Ae...

she'll dig to the end.

You're sure.

In this country,

the fact that sexual assault and torture can occur.

She knows that very well.

What?

She won't give up.

The government is facing a critical incident.

While you were out of the country, General...

an unprecedented incident has occurred.

The opposition party is saying they're ruining the current regime on their own.

The truth is being concealed by the government.

Were you aware?

I haven't received an official report.

However, I will find out the truth.

If it's true, I won't watch idly. That's all.

One more question.

One more comment please.

If your case is true,

this will probably...

be unprecedented in history.

Do you really think so?

Can I see the file?

What are you talking about?

I want to know the truth.

The facts are on the bulletin report.

It's as I said.

The authorities' ugly violence...

will be uncovered.

If you take on that case,

you're becoming the hands and feet of the opposition party out to ruin the current regime.

The opposition's hands and feet?

Why?

If this regime collapses,

Han Kwang Hoon will collapse with it.

So, are you worried?

Even if others don't believe me,

shouldn't you?

What did you think when I told you Esther wasn't Kwang Chul's child?

I was taken advantage of because I didn't have power.

The brutality this girl went through...

happened inside a police station by the police!

Fine.

I declared war against this regime.

Go tell General Chun.

A brutality condemned by Heaven and earth has occurred.

So, don't conceal it.

And to take it a step further...

Tell your President whom you're special advisor to.

More the truth is concealed, angrier the citizens will become.

The numbers against the government will increase.

Do you have more to say?

No.

I don't.

It might be hard...

but work diligently.

To none other than you,

this task was given.

It might...

...be the Heaven's will.

Don't speak so easily.

People who were never violated by animals can't know.

And...

don't think...

what I do is out of personal revenge.

Legal retribution might...

...be too lenient.

Alright.

In Ae.

From now on,

whatever the situation...

or position...

we move past this era...

let's not turn our backs on each other.

Be sure to eat while working.

You'll ruin your health.

What?

If it's the truth,

you won't watch idly?

Is that something to say as Security Chief?

Do you live peacefully by yourself?

Then is this damnable incident true?

Then...

do you believe it when

it's devised by the opposition and movement?

The prosecution says

it's the movement's vile plot

to use sex as a tool.

Director Jung.

Let's be honest at least among ourselves.

Prime Minister.

If you don't believe the prosecution as Prime Minister, who will?

How frustrating.

Vice-chief Park Young Tae.

Aren't you being too excessively rude to the Prime Minister?

The President will hear the report in ten minutes.

Ah...

I have a good idea when I see Special Advisor Han.

The focus of this incident is Lawyer Seo In Ae.

Wouldn't Seo In Ae step back if you use your power?

What do you mean?

Han Kwang Hoon and Seo In Ae...

have a relationship...

which can't be ignored.

That would be simple.

I don't think you should make jokes.

In an official setting,

just speak officially.

More than General Chun,

I think Vice-Chief Park's voice is louder.

Seo In Ae.

Fi...

igh...

...ing.

Mommy, fighting.

Mommy's still not done?

Yeah, guess not.

Daddy.

Let's go in to see Mommy.

Mommy said not to disturb her because it's important.

No.

Let's tell her to stop working and let's go home.

Daddy.

Shall we?

Let's go.

Mommy.

When did you get here?

When did you get here, Esther?

A long time ago.

Mommy, you were working so Daddy said to wait.

I waited a long time.

Did you?

I didn't know time was passing.

Ugh, a lawyer's office is dreary.

Move to the hotel. I'll give you a room.

If I move there, people in difficult circumstances can't come.

That's true.

Esther, did you eat dinner?

No, I didn't.

You didn't?

- Should I order black bean noodles? - Yeah.

What about you, Daddy?

Daddy...

wants seafood noodles!

Seafood noodles?

Mommy, Daddy wants seafood noodles.

No.

Let's eat at home.

Sorry.

I have more to prepare.

Hyung called.

Since you have important work, he asked me to be near you in case someone wants to hurt you.

Work at home.

In Ae.

Huh?

Isn't it tough?

It must be.

What you went through...

you're probably reliving it.

Will you be okay?

Win for sure.

Legally.

It's me.

What?

Someone came looking for Kim Chul Soo at the nursing home?

Were you keeping watch?

Yeah, we have to make him seem like a drunken crazy old man.

Who was it?

A young man?

Ah...

He said he'd come again?

Alright, wait and...

end it for sure.

Don't make a mistake.

Take care of it for good.

Han Kwang Chul...

In an attempt to strangle me,

you're crawling into your own grave.

Your lifespan was too long.

Go in.

Are you leaving?

Yeah, I have an appointment with the Commissioner.

Commissioner?

I might go to the Blue House, too.

To give a briefing on the New Town.

I'll tell you later.

Sleep warmly. You have bronchitis.

Okay.

Drive safely.

Okay.

Be careful.

Bye.

I said all there is, so leave.

I said everything I shouldn't have told you.

So, leave now!

I said everything I need to say.

Seo In Ae who lived in my daughter's place...

...is your daughter!

Do I have to repeat myself a thousand times?

Can't the Prime Minister...

...understand my words?

Aunt.

Yeah.

I told him everything.

The story of how your mother was murdered.

The story of how you lived instead of my daughter.

This man...

...came prepared.

He brought evidence you weren't my daughter and told me to tell him, so I did.

That you're in the Prime Minister's bloodline.

The time has come.

Reveal what needs to be revealed.

And live proudly.

My daughter...

My daughter died instead of you.

Let it be known.

Why?

didn't you...

come to me sooner?

If you had...

Leave.

If you had...

Go back to your home.

It was that night.

My sick daughter was left home.

I went to mass with In Ae.

A suspicious jeep left the house.

My heart started to pound.

It was as I thought.

My unni was bleeding to death.

She must've felt injustice.

With a bloody finger,

she had written "butterfly."

She died unjustly like that.

My daughter...

My daughter was dead, too.

They killed my daughter thinking she was yours.

If it wasn't for you,

who killed my baby and my unni?

Wasn't it you who sent someone to kill them?

It might have been you.

So, maybe In Ae knew who you were...

but could only watch from afar.

Was it really not you?

If it really wasn't you,

tell me who killed my baby and my unni!

When your daughter was being tormented by your wife...

When she was dying and falsely accused...

What were you doing?

Didn't you feel your family ties?

Nice to meet you.

Where have I seen you before?

You look familiar.

Seo In Ae.

Do you...

...recognize me?

Han Kwang Chul!

Yeah.

Why?

What's wrong?

Can you tell me about your parents?

For the sin of having a daughter whose father couldn't be revealed,

my mother died unjustly.

That unjust death...

was because of my nameless father.

I found out later.

Without you knowing,

he meticulously did background research.

He knew you were living with my daughter's name.

But he's still human.

I guess he felt his family ties.

I got angry.

I ended up confessing.

Aunt.

That man...

he's not my family.

I'm still...

...your daughter.

Just think that someone dropped in while passing by.

Why?

Do you think he'll come back to hurt you since he can't become the President because of you?

He doesn't seem like that kind of person.

He's a stranger, so just ignore him.

And...

you really can't tell anyone anymore.

It'll be complicated if the family finds out.

Think of the torture you went through.

I have to live for Esther's sake.

Let's let it pass for her sake.

Esther can't...

become the topic of gossip.

Right, Aunt?

Right.

I'll do as you say.

Heaven won't ignore us.

Punishments will be given to those who deserve it.

Something's happened to your father.

He's gone crazy.

Father.

Father, what's wrong?

It's all over.

Your father's done for!

Father, what's wrong?

Are you drunk?

It'd be nice if I could only get drunk,

I...

I have no right to get drunk.

I'm a sinner who should feel hell's punishment for thousands and thousands of years.

If you know you're a sinner, live like one.

What are you doing?

What is the Prime Minister of a nation doing sober!

The Prime Minister, Prime Minister, Prime Minister...

Prime Minister...
