(Episode 11)

Hello?

Thank you for believing in the evidence I've provided.

I don't think I can submit any more, no matter how critical they are.

Even the judge said...

that we can't take in any more anonymous confessions.

Understood.

If Nurse Moon's evidence is still not enough,

then I'll present myself as the witness at the court.

If there's nothing more to add,

let's move on to closing arguments.

Your Honor. There's another witness.

Was this person sent by the anonymous informant again?

No.

The anonymous informant is here himself.

So who is he?

He lost his son in a similar case at Sangjung Hospital...

a year ago.

At Sangjung Hospital a year ago?

No way.

What is Boss doing there? What's going on?

We've made a change in our plan due to unforeseen circumstances.

Our communication system is still working well...

and I'm going to proceed to direct the trial.

A year ago,

I lost my son at Sangjung Hospital.

My son's name is Lee Seon Kyu.

Just like Oh Jin Woo,

my son was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Who was the doctor in charge?

It was Dr. Kim Min Jun, who's sitting here right now.

(Juror Stand)

And Dr. Kim advised you to let him use the new medicine?

Yes.

It was unofficial advice.

He said that there's a new medicine that's basically the only hope,

describing that it'll only be publicly released in 2 to 3 years.

When did I ever say that?

Please remain quiet.

You may continue with your testimony.

Have you seen the ampoule for the medicine yourself?

Yes, it just looked like any other ampoule,

stored in a glass bottle.

The liquid was blue in color...

and was labeled, Asana.

Tae Joon,

was the previous witness sent by you too?

Okay.

Let's just look at the facts.

Listen to me carefully.

Don't look anywhere else from now on...

and just look right into the witness's eyes.

And repeat what I say...

precisely without changing any words.

- It must've been difficult... - It must've been difficult...

to accept your son's death...

- when he died. - when he died.

Yes.

What about now?

Have you fully let go of your son?

No.

I haven't.

Do you resent the doctor for not being able to save your son?

Perhaps that resentment is what brought you...

here as a witness.

I have no resentment against Dr. Kim.

Of course, you'd say that.

I can't watch this, this is too intense.

Boss being there as a witness will be good for the case, right?

Hopefully.

What if he gets too emotional and messes up?

We have to trust him.

This is a fight we can't run away from.

It's just a testimony, there's no evidence.

His son had the same disease and had the same doctor in charge.

And he eventually died.

That can't be used as evidence.

Do you need evidence that you can physically see?

This is the medicine...

Dr. Kim used on my son a year ago.

Don't look away.

Don't panic.

Just keep looking right into the witness's eyes!

Yes.

Good, he's making the prosecutor panic.

- Witness Lee Tae Joon has... - Witness Lee Tae Joon has...

been convicted and served a prison sentence.

Is that correct?

Yes, that is correct.

He cannot be trusted, as he has a record of...

stealing someone's hard-earned research.

Can you possibly believe... such

a man's testimony?

Prosecutor,

you haven't mentioned...

what it is that I've stolen.

What I stole...

was the problematic medicine.

That doctor right there...

gave me a business card for a fake hospital...

and injected the medicine that I stole myself.

He told me that he's confident that it's effective.

He said that so himself,

giving me false hope.

He said that if I stole the medicine,

I'd be able to save my son.

At that time,

that was the only thing I could do.

All along, I thought...

that I missed...

my chance.

So all along,

I thought that...

my incapability...

was what brought my son's death.

But now that I realize that that's not the case...

and that he manipulated the heart...

of a parent who was clutching at straws...

I can't bring myself to forgive him.

This bottle has fingerprints on it.

Please check if the fingerprints match Dr. Kim's.

Make sure that the bottle doesn't get accepted as evidence.

You can't...

submit evidence this way.

Your Honor, I ask for a fingerprint identification on the bottle.

It may be made-up and we don't know how long that'll take.

There's no reason to refuse it if there's nothing to hide.

That's nonsense.

I've never seen that bottle before.

Do whatever you'd like with it.

What did he just say? Is he insane?

Dr. Kim,

wasn't that an agreement to the identification on the bottle?

Stop the bottle from getting selected as evidence!

Your Honor, that cannot be done.

Here's the proof that the bottle's fingerprints match Dr. Kim's.

It could be made up.

You'll know the truth when you conduct the identification.

There's only one reason for you to prevent that from happening.

Don't lose to him.

It's a flawed argument.

It's not at all a logical statement.

Prosecutor, do you have anything against the evidence?

Do the fingerprint identification.

You won't find a single trace of my fingerprint on the bottle.

Because I'm innocent!

Please remain quiet.

Dr. Kim, are you sure you can handle it?

You sound very confident...

that your fingerprints aren't on the bottle.

Of course, because you wore gloves in the operation room.

But before that,

what about in your office? Are you sure about that?

I've never touched that. From the beginning I was...

You can't use what Dr. Kim just said as evidence.

Please let the jurors know that as well.

Yes. You've heard it all, right?

Lawyers, will you submit the bottle as evidence?

We will.

Witness, why did you submit your testimony anonymously?

Just in case...

my personal emotions...

may get in the way of the trial.

What made you change your mind?

Because we can't have...

any more children...

getting hurt because of grown-ups' greed...

just like it Seon Kyu and Jin Woo.

What was the name of the medicine again?

It's the new medicine in development at Mirae Biomedical,

Asana.

Why?

Why?

My plan was perfect.

There was no way that it'd fail.

Now,

raise your hand if you think the defendant is guilty.

Then...

raise your hand if you think the defendant is innocent.

I will now pronounce the final verdict.

Defendant Jung Hyun Joo.

Defendant Jung Hyun Joo has reported online...

that the hospital is at fault for Oh Jin Woo's death,

indeed an act of defamation of the hospital and Plaintiff.

However, what the defendant posted online...

wasn't untruthful...

and was an act for the benefit of the public.

Hence, according to Article 310 of Criminal Law,

which invalidates defamation under special circumstances,

I declare Defendant Jung Hyun Joo...

not guilty.

Thank you.

- What a relief. - Indeed, what a relief.

Jurors, you may now exit.

(Court 303)

I didn't expect you here.

Thank you so much.

No, thank you...

for starting all of this.

Do you think my son...

also died of the side effects caused by the medicine?

I don't know.

It's unlikely since he only had it injected once.

I see.

It's just that that's such an important question to me.

I'm also going to get investigated soon.

I need to take responsibility for my actions.

Sorry.

But you genuinely cared for my son.

He surely must've known,

so don't beat yourself up over it.

You too. Seon Kyu must've known that you tried your best.

Do you think so?

Thank you for your hard work.

We did it!

That was such a long trial. I'm exhausted.

It'd be nice if we could just go for a beer right now.

Hey.

We can do that after my Tae Joon is born.

Let me know when he's born.

Really?

You won't be able to recognize me then.

Because you'll look so good?

Yes, because I'll be looking amazing.

How cute.

You're so heavy, when are you going to drop the act?

I have to keep myself in character until the end.

You'll help me out, right?

Look at how hard everyone works.

There are already news articles on the trial.

I feel proud.

My goodness.

I wonder how mothers do this for 10 months straight.

I almost passed out.

Boss is back!

Boss!

Boss, you were amazing in court.

Who was that man?

His name was Cho Jun Hyung.

Maybe he just has such an ordinary face.

He's right there.

Tae Joon! Don't...

No.

Do you know the man?

He's Tae Joon's childhood friend.

What?

Shouldn't we stop him?

Well...

(Head-on parking)

(Breaking News: Mirae Biomedical Stocks Might Plummet)

I thought the car looked familiar. What brings you here?

Tae Joon!

I just had an errand to run nearby.

What brings you here?

I also had a trial to attend.

The doctor that cared for Seon Kyu...

needed help with something.

I see.

So, did things go well?

Yes, the trial went well...

and I think I'm now ready...

to let go of my son.

That's good to hear.

It's all thanks to your caring.

Let's catch up over a meal sometime.

Sure.

Tae Joon,

are you all right?

The one who sets up the game and does tricks is someone else.

He's the king on the chessboard. Just consider yourself unlucky.

So you're saying,

Boss was manipulated to steal from Mirae Biomedical.

And he got in the way even though he suggested it.

Then made Tae Joon get imprisoned after being chased by the police.

And made him miss the last moments with his son and regret it for life.

That was all done by his childhood friend?

Poor Boss.

He must be so shocked.

This is why we're better off not trusting people.

I knew the guy was up to something.

Why did he do that to our Boss?

Do you think there's something about Boss that we don't know?

You think such a stubborn person like Tae Joon would do that?

Maybe he's too stubborn.

Anyway,

it might take some time...

for him to recover from it.

Meanwhile, let's find out about this Cho Jun Hyung.

Start with the cameras in the courthouse parking lot.

(Dr. Kim Min Jun, male, 40s, Sangjung Hospital)

(You have a new message from Eui Sung)

Director. What happened?

This isn't what you promised. The result of the first trial...

That's the thing.

You shouldn't have messed up from the beginning.

I'll give you three days.

If you want to live, cover it all up...

and move to the Philippines.

Or I won't guarantee what'll happen next.

Director.

I really messed up. Whatever it is,

I'll do as you say. Please help me out.

What about my family?

Your family?

Get a grip.

You're lucky if you get out of this alive.

Director.

There's no time.

(Caller Restricted)

Hello?

Dr. Kim Min Jun?

This is Lee Tae Joon.

This time, I'll make you an offer.

Cho Jun Hyung. Help me get him.

Then what will you do for me?

If I can get Cho Jun Hyung,

I'll do whatever I can to get you off not guilty.

Okay then.

This case...

doesn't involve Mirae Biomedical and Sangjung Hospital alone.

Presidential candidate...

Kim Nam Young is involved as well.

I have some evidence.

Let's meet up tomorrow.

At 9pm.

Kim Nam Young?

Kim Nam Young. A strong opposing party candidate.

He was Mayor of Jungwon twice.

He's connected to Jun Hyung?

Kim Nam Young, a likely candidate for president,

was suspected to accept a bribe from a large construction company.

Prosecutors opened an investigation.

On doubts that the company window-dressed their accounts,

the company held a press conference at which...

they explained it was a happening surrounding the theft of gold bars.

Police confirmed that the theft did take place at said company...

and that it's under investigation, cutting the rumors short.

Guard.

Guard!

Boss.

Do you feel a bit better?

We were so worried about you.

Boss. We looked into your friend...

We found out a bit more on that jerk, Cho Jun Hyung.

No. I think...

we should stop.

It's too dangerous.

Jun Hyung's more dangerous and scarier than we think.

So what?

You said picking the lesser evil...

is just for our own comfort.

I can't get you all in danger too.

When were we ever safe?

Yes, Boss. We should all go after that bad guy.

We're more than capable.

No.

We stop here.

Are you okay with calling it quits here?

Your son.

More could suffer down the line.

Someone else died.

What?

Who died?

Dr. Kim Min Jun who was in the trial.

He was going to give me evidence and he died before my eyes.

Cho Jun Hyung is definitely behind it.

You said "someone else".

So Ma died too, in prison.

What on earth...

Darn. Let's get this straight.

He's more fearless than we thought.

It's more like he has more power than we thought.

Even if kids die because of a drug that wasn't cleared,

he won't bat an eyelid.

He used me, a friend of over 20 years.

If that's what he wants, all of our lives...

So what?

This is...

my problem.

I can't stand the thought of you getting hurt because of me.

By now, all of us are probably...

already a target.

He lost a fortune in that trial.

So let's scatter.

Lie low and don't call each other. That's best.

I plan to return to work.

Remember what I said.

He must've been badly shaken.

Do you think he means that?

He might.

He might have never found out if we hadn't gotten together.

That could've been better.

Su Kyung. Do you think Boss can bounce back?

Yes. We should stay strong for him.

Let's listen to Tae Joon and be cautious.

I think we should scatter for a while.

The day that viper finds out about this place,

then it'll really be over.

Take care, everyone.

Let's get by on our own for now.

How nice.

I knew it.

Where are we anyway?

Boss. Here's the route Cho Jun Hyung took and the people he met.

Take a look.

If you need help, just say so.

Why, you're...

Tae Joon.

What's the occasion? You could've called.

How are you doing, sir?

I'd like my old job back.

(Assistant Manager Yoon Jung Hwan)

Tae Joon. It's so good to see you again.

Are you doing okay?

You bet. You taught me well.

Did I? Shall I test you then?

Let's see the cases you're working on now.

What?

Tae Joon, this is way too much for your first day.

You just got back. Why not warm up...

- and settle in... - Now.

Okay.

Lee Tae Joon.

He suddenly showed up and asked to be reinstated.

Reinstated?

Is he pretending not to know anything...

or does he really not know?

He must not know anything.

Would he come back here if he knew?

Watch him closely for now.

I will as well.

Okay. I'll do that.

He's doing whatever he wants.

Stop!

The arrogance.

(Case File)

Tae Joon. This is the last one.

(Insurance Claim)

The benefits they claimed turned into a slush fund.

Hey.

Why won't this open? Mister, do your job.

Hello? Are you ignoring me?

Is this a joke?

It just opened.

Okay.

It's boring when it's quiet.

How can you work without a computer these days?

Who will turn off the cameras and the alarms?

Who's the most important person in a job?

Who?

(Victory!)

I won again.

Hooray, great.

This is so much fun.

Oh, tell me.

Tell me where this fantastic love grows.

Is it in my heart?

Or is it in my mind?

Oh, love.

What does it look like?

How does it grow?

It's so strange.

She changes whenever she comes here.

(Director)

Hello. Nothing so far.

(Samhwa Life)

- What is it? - Let's go.

Yes. You did the right thing.

I was so pleased to hear that you returned to work.

Why were you pleased?

You want to use me again?

How dare you?

Of course.

Gosh.

So, what about your team?

We disbanded, of course.

I see.

They're all way too skilled.

I just can't handle them.

Especially that Roy kid.

He's just like me at that age.

As if you were... Let's go.

Hey, don't go anywhere.

We just got our coffee.

Hey.

Hey.

It's cold. Take care. Stay in touch.

Okay.

(Jun Hyung)

Yes, it's me.

Did you hear that Tae Joon went back to work?

- Yes. - The kid.

Oh, right.

The money you gave me.

It weighed on my conscience.

Tae Joon returned to his old job,

so you needn't worry about anything.

I know that you looked out for Tae Joon for a long time.

He was distraught after Seon Kyu died.

I think he's hanging out with dangerous people these days.

I got worried.

He might get into trouble.

He has been acting a little out of character.

It had been bothering me too.

Which is why, for a while, I'd like you to...

check what Tae Joon does and where...

and tell me about it.

I'm worried but have no one to turn to.

Could you help me out?

I'll get going then.

Bye.

Let's get a drink sometime.

I set you up with a prosecutor...

and you lost?

The guy's in a bind because of you.

I'm the one who's most disappointed.

Do you know how much we lost with that trial?

What's the point in having double, triple security measures?

The humans are all idiots.

Please,

could you all just do what I say?

I didn't know that would happen.

I told you to cut ties with Misa Construction a while ago.

I got you first in the polls for nothing.

Still,

serious campaigning starts soon.

Don't we need ammunition?

Just don't go making fouls.

I'll control Misa Construction from now on as well.

What I need...

is a candidate who'll win.

Do only what I say. Don't make things complicated.

I sent one of our men to your opponent...

saying he's a supporter.

Word that Minhan Party presidential candidate Han Chan Kyung...

accepted political funds from a company on the 16th...

is spreading quickly through social media.

In the video, a man who seems to be Han Chan Kyung...

accepts a bag supposedly filled with cash.

Candidate Han's people say he didn't take the money...

and vowed to sue...

those responsible for spreading false rumors,

but the controversy will only grow.

If we keep on bombarding them,

people will believe the news.

Even if your opponent proves his innocence,

by then,

no one will care.

Here.

Let's have a drink.

I thought Han Chan Kyung was clean.

It's shocking.

Are politicians all like that?

I heard it's just a suspicion. Do you believe it?

Tae Joon.

Ever seen a chimney smoke without a fire?

They do sometimes.

(Team Manager Lee Tae Joon)

(Presidential election approval ratings)

(Kim Nam Young 46.3 percent, Han Chan Kyung 46 percent)

(10 million-dollar insurance, interest)

They took the slush fund,

but they'll escape conviction by clouding the issue like this?

(Fake news on Han Chan Kyung slush fund)

Gosh, you've been hard at work.

I told you.

Tae Joon. I've been...

The case on Misa Construction's missing safe.

- I'll help with this. - What?

Tae Joon, that case is almost closed.

The police said it's theft.

Hey. Since when did we go with the police's conclusions?

Why aren't the forensic results from the site updated?

The transport vehicle. Was it checked?

The higher-ups said it'll look bad...

if we dig around a case the police closed, so...

Jung Hwan.

The payment for this case is 10 million dollars.

Would you let it slide if you had to pay out that much?

Sorry.

Just in case. Let's dig a little bit to be sure.

- This is our job. - Okay. Let's do it.

You're Lee Tae Joon, the legend of legends.

- You're really back. - I am.

- Sir. - Hey.

I was catching up on some stuff and the Misa Construction theft...

It's a pretty big payment.

The report seems pretty sound,

but to warm up,

I'd like to check a few things before clearing the case.

Will you?

Okay then. Go ahead.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, I'm tired.

- See you tomorrow. - Okay. Bye.

- Do you do deliveries? - Yes.

I thought I'd lost my touch, but that wasn't bad, was it?

- You were fine. - Talent never really goes away.

- Hwang Su Kyung? - Yes?

I have flowers for you.

- Me? - Yes.

It has your name on it.

- It's for me? - Yes.

My goodness. I don't believe this.

It's not a mistake, is it?

This is unbelievable. It's a first.

My goodness.

Is it for real?

I'll read this in private. I'm in such shock.

Do I have a fan club now?

(The Merchant of Venus)

My gosh.

We look alike.

Shall I see who it's from?

My gosh.

"To actress Hwang Su Kyung."

Three pages long?

Gosh, seriously...

What...

It's for the best.

I don't have to listen to soldier boy give orders.

I have a temper too. I just put up with him.

The next time we meet, I'll... My goodness.

What's this? What happened?

What's this?

(November 22, 9pm, Jungwon-gu Wujin-ro 38, at the spinning club)

"November 22, 9pm."

(Personal Details of Choi Se Ri, CEO of Misa Construction)

(Misa Construction Slush Fund)

(Misa Construction)

This much gold...

is usually kept in a personal safe at a bank.

You kept it in a company safe when you're not a financier.

I find that odd.

And when it was transported, there was only one employee.

When we took out a policy,

your company said that would not be an issue.

We may be a construction company,

but our security equals that of a bank's.

One of the transporters called in sick that day.

That was out of my control.

By the way, I don't think we've met before.

We haven't. I'm Lee Tae Joon.

I took a break for personal reasons...

and just got back.

(Samhwa Life, Lee Tae Joon)

As you already know,

the police are treating it as a theft.

And this incident caused the public to get the wrong impression of us.

I'd like you to close it as soon as possible.

Sure. I get what you mean.

I just have to check a few more things.

As per the manual.

The manual?

Hey. Since when did we go with the police's conclusions?

Why aren't the forensic results from the site updated?

The transport vehicle. Was it checked?

The higher-ups said it'll look bad...

if we dig around a case the police closed, so...

Jung Hwan.

The payment for this case is 10 million dollars.

Would you let it slide if you had to pay out that much?

I should've told him to drop the case.

No, you did the right thing.

He'd have suspected something.

It won't be easy to...

just bribe him to drop it, won't it?

Would he fall for it?

It would be easier to just do away with him.

Must we do that?

It'll be fine.

He said he'll just follow procedure before we pay out.

It's Lee Tae Joon we're talking about.

Did you already forget how much he lost us?

Then what should we do?

(Spinning, a 40-minute miracle)

- Punch! - Punch!

- Punch! - Punch!

- Hi. - My gosh.

It's been a while, everyone.
