(Final Episode)

Honey?

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Give me some water.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning.

I don't see my wife.

Where did she go early in the morning?

Pardon?

We thought she was still asleep.

Why did you smirk?

Nothing, sir. I'm sorry.

What is it?

Why are you wearing Kang Ye's hairpin?

Here.

Father.

Ae Hun is not around.

She was going to leave one day.

She probably left because it was time.

But this is too sudden.

I was dubious about her background, but...

Maybe her background...

was crazy enough for her to disappear overnight.

Gwang Jeon, do you know something?

No, not really.

I just trusted your judgement.

I mean, you're never wrong.

I chose the wrong person this time.

Get over it.

It seems she just ran away with some jewellery.

It wouldn't even cost much.

If she'd asked for alimony or division of assets,

it would've been a nuisance.

What's wrong, Father?

Father. Don't tell me...

It's gone. Everything.

Without it...

Without it...

Yes. Tell his daughter to pay a visit.

Are you doing all right?

- How's your mom? - She's all right.

The surgery went well.

What about you?

I'm doing well.

I got some money for you to use it.

There's no need.

You should use it for yourself.

We have no worries these days.

Your friend who paid for Mom's surgery.

He's been taking good care of us.

Oh, really?

So just take care of yourself.

You look too skinny.

Okay.

Dad, a reporter came.

According to her,

you didn't kill the law student.

What? Why?

Is it true?

By any chance...

Come to think of it, your friend sent a package for you today.

What? What package?

I don't know. He said you'd need it.

Get him some snacks.

So that he can be stuffed at his last moment.

That should be enough of a message.

Does Gwang Jeon know?

Not yet. I just hope she won't find out.

You arrogant rat.

How dare you even think of showing this to me?

You took me in this family...

because you valued this side of me.

I wonder how my wife will react...

if she finds out whose idea this meeting was.

I'm not like Gwang Jeon and Hye Ryul.

I don't fear my children.

Right.

You're like me.

You're a collector too.

You collect very valuable secrets.

I heard you got your ledger stolen.

I'm in a similar situation.

The only difference is...

what's stolen is the copy while the original is safe...

and the thief is dead.

I'll give it all to you.

It won't be as good as the ledger, but it'll still come in handy.

So, what is it that you want?

Dolphin, that scum, is too dangerous.

Please get rid of him.

We found an account for the cloud used to transfer the data.

If lucky, we might be able to find something out of this.

But the problem starts here.

It won't be possible without a warrant.

Yes.

It's against the Information Network Law.

Yes.

I'll give you a call. Bye.

The world has changed,

but this place is still the same.

What brought you here?

I wanted...

to kill Hong Nan Hee.

Because she destroyed...

what I cared and cherished.

I really wanted her dead...

and wished someone would kill her.

I even had such an idea.

Honestly speaking, I didn't feel bad...

about her death at all.

- Hye Ryul. - Still,

I didn't kill her.

Right.

And the arrested culprit didn't kill her either.

What?

So, what are you planning to do?

I'll find the real culprit.

Even if I have to reveal everything,

I want to find her.

It will hurt you too.

It's true that you got fooled by Ko Won Kyung and the dolphin,

but it's also true that you made an illegal deal.

If I'd simply said...

it wasn't Kang Baek...

and that I sent him home,

he wouldn't have been accused.

My greed for a perfect family...

made me keep my mouth shut. Kang Baek thought I did it...

and so I was concealing the murder.

It was my fault.

You only had an affair.

As if it was for Kang Baek's sake,

I somehow ended up making a fake culprit...

without knowing how devastated he was.

You're right.

I killed Kang Baek.

It was too harsh of me then.

I didn't mean it.

If it's because of that...

No, it's not because of what you said.

It's not because I was hurt,

nor is it because I feel guilty.

Kang Baek's last request was...

to stop doing what was wrong.

To do that,

I need to repent first.

All right.

Then,

there's something you must see.

What's in it?

You better...

see it when you're alone.

Whatever decision you make afterwards,

I...

will follow.

All right.

- All right. Let's clink. - Sure.

Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

I should've arranged this way sooner.

I'm sorry it took so long.

I'm sorry!

We got together like this. That's good enough.

The moment it goes public that the three of you gathered together,

it will cause a huge uproar in the country.

So especially today, I prepared a private elevator...

and emptied this floor and the one below.

You wouldn't know how grateful I am...

for Jusung's generous support.

- Thank you! - Don't mention it.

As a token of gratitude, I'll drink this all up at once.

Gosh.

Thank you!

By the way, are you sure about Christmas Fund?

Must you ruin the mood at this timing?

Consider a small loss in the beginning your investment.

Hey, move aside.

All right.

Senior Secretary Ahn right here...

is going to set everything up for us.

Right, Senior Secretary Ahn?

The VIP would never make an order...

that could cause harm to Jusung.

Did you hear him?

Is that right?

If that's the VIP's intention, I shouldn't be worried.

The liquor tastes so sweet tonight.

There's no need to build friendship at a sauna.

We can scratch each other's itch just fine this way.

- Right? - Yes, Father-in-law.

Sir, let me scratch your itch.

- Let's clink. - Cheers.

We'll keep this mood going.

- Let's drink and die! - Cheers.

Let's drink and die.

Do you need some scratching too?

Hold on.

- Attorney Nam. - Goodness.

Geez.

What took you so long? I waited so much for you.

Did you bring it?

From now on,

let's start having some real fun!

How exciting.

All right.

All right, then. Senior Secretary Ahn, you first.

Let's drink!

Drink up.

Let's drink!

Let's drink and die!

Yes!

Let's drink!

Goodness.

Come in.

Did you ask for me?

What are you doing? Have a seat.

Okay.

First off, I'm sorry.

For what?

We're going to be very busy for the next few weeks.

We're resuming our investigation on Jusung.

We got new evidence.

And it's so concrete that no one can overturn it.

How... What is it?

I'll show you later.

Hong Nan Hee's murder case will be reinvestigated too.

We won't be in charge of it,

but I'll be an important testifier of that case.

It will keep me busy.

So I'd like you to take charge...

and lead the investigation.

I don't understand.

The murderer already got arrested.

The indictment was made, and the trial is in a few days.

He's not the culprit. I confirmed it myself.

- What? - I'll explain it later too.

The confession should be taken back first.

The biggest problem is the purse, that was submitted as evidence.

Because of that purse, we became sure he did it...

and closed the investigation.

Hong Nan Hee's roommate testified...

that she carried the purse when she went outside.

Besides, her DNA...

and the culprit's DNA were found in it.

It had another man's DNA as well,

but we have no sample to compare it with.

It's not like DNAs are registered in a system like fingerprints.

Just in case, we searched the identification database,

but we couldn't get anything out of it.

So you don't know who murdered Hong Nan Hee...

and brought her purse to the fake culprit.

- And there's no way to find out. - Right.

So we're planning to check the account we found the other day.

We don't know what we will find.

- Let's drink! - Let's drink!

Let's drink!

You will...

expose this?

Well, what I want is to investigate.

I already am.

This was in Hong Nan Hee's flash drive.

It gives a good enough reason to open the cloud account.

Even if not for that,

investigating what these people in the video did that day...

Hye Ryul.

One of them is your father.

And this isn't just a simple lobbying activity.

If I'm to find the murderer...

of the girl who tried to report this,

I shouldn't play safe.

What...

are you planning to do?

- I'll run away from home. - What?

Cover it up.

You're still quite resourceful.

But it's not as good.

The warrant was issued this morning.

Such concrete, direct evidence was found.

It must've been impossible even for you to stop this.

You're crossing the line.

This will be a humiliation to the family.

A father-in-law and a son-in-law together... Not a chance.

I don't need your permission.

There's another way to get Jusung and the dolphin.

But this is too lousy...

Truth is bound to be lousy, you see.

The neater a ruling is,

the more things are omitted and twisted within.

I'm sure you know.

Hye Ryul.

Hye Ryul, please reconsider.

You won't be safe from it either.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I'll get going.

Father!

You knew about the video, didn't you?

Was that your idea from the get-go?

Be quiet.

Pull the cash from the bank accounts under borrowed names.

What are you talking about? You don't have your ledger anymore.

Some people might not have heard. So get the cash while we can.

What are you planning to do?

We just have to talk to a few smart ones.

The dolphin is an inmate who scammed billions of dollars.

We're not like him. We can deflect attention to him.

- Then... - How are we any different to him?

Is there anything in the house we haven't stolen from other people?

- What? - The assets from Grandpa?

You didn't inherit it. You took it from him!

And Grandpa stole other people's assets too!

- What did you say? - If you weren't so greedy,

Mom, Ye Hoo, Aunt, and Kang Baek could have been here with us!

It's all because of you!

You...

What?

Do you still think I'm a little kid who's scared of you?

What did you say? You...

Let go of me.

Father!

Father. Stay with me.

- Butler Yang. - Gosh.

Father, wake up.

Father.

Is this 911?

He fell from the staircase and hit his head. Yes.

He missed his footing.

Yes. He's an old man who will turn 90 soon.

Please hurry.

The address is...

(Prosecutor Oh)

Yes. What happened?

I opened the account on the cloud.

I found an audio file and photos she uploaded...

on the day of the incident.

- Hye Ryul. - Yes.

I think we got the culprit. You should listen to it yourself.

What do you want?

I wanted to talk to you in private.

So I was waiting for you this whole time.

I'm not complaining or anything.

While I was waiting,

I enjoyed a rare sight.

This voice...

belongs to Attorney Nam, right?

Yes.

The security app on her phone...

activated the camera to take photos...

and uploaded it on the cloud when he failed to unlock her phone.

In other words, people use this app to catch phone thieves.

So we got a very clear photo of Attorney Nam.

Call the detention center now.

And check on the man who turned himself in for the murder.

I'm on my way there. Don't let anyone see him...

before I get there.

(Advanced Corrections for New Futures)

(Advanced Corrections Administration to Foster New Futures)

Ma'am, what is this urgent matter about?

Where's the inmate?

Oh, him. Well...

What brings you here, Ms. Han?

I'm in the middle of my meeting with my client.

I would like to talk to him in private.

I hope you're not trying to stop me from talking to my client.

He killed Hong Nan Hee.

What on earth...

What do you think you're doing? Get out of here!

If I were you, I would do my best to get as far as I could.

I just obtained evidence that you killed Hong Nan Hee.

Everyone will find out that you...

messed everything up.

I want my ID.

Even the dolphin didn't know that Attorney Nam was the culprit.

Technically, Attorney Nam used the dolphin too.

In the end, he managed to cover up the murder with the dolphin's money.

No.

I don't know anything.

Right.

I forgot to tell you something. I should have started with this.

The bag you submitted as evidence.

The police mishandled the evidence, so it's missing.

In other words,

your confession is the only thing that's tying to the murder.

The Criminal Code requires us...

to provide supplementary evidence for confessions.

In your case, we can't indict you based on your confession.

What?

You're innocent.

Well, you might be charged...

with obstruction of justice, not murder.

But your sentence will be reduced if you tell the truth now.

No.

- What do you mean? - I have to be the culprit.

I can't be found innocent.

But you didn't kill her.

I didn't kill her, so I was paid to make a confession.

I already used up the money. I can't pay it back now.

If I get released now,

what do you think the dolphin will take when I can't pay him back?

He knows the names of my family, where they live,

go to school, and work.

If the dolphin thinks that I'm the one who talked...

I have to be the culprit.

I'm the culprit.

The girl is already dead.

She has nothing to do with you.

Please.

Please do this for me.

Please don't put my family in harm's way.

I'm begging you.

Please save them.

We have enough evidence to get a warrant issued,

so we can collect his DNA, right?

Yes.

So were you able to obtain the inmate's statement?

With his statement, the case will get solved easily.

He was bought off to play the culprit.

In a way, I'm partially responsible.

It happened because of my greed.

So I'll take responsibility for it.

Are you coming?

We have a pile of stuff to do.

Okay.

I'll get going then.

Get in the front seat.

According to the newly obtained video,

Han Gun Do, the managing partner of Ham & Lee law corporation...

and financier of the Christmas Fund, Chairman Ji Joon Ki coordinated...

secret meetings with Senior Secretary Ahn Ji Hwan...

and Vice Chairman Jung Tae Eul of Jusung.

Get your hands off me.

Seriously.

Vice Chairman Jung Tae Eul of Jusung...

made illegal investments with the funds from Jusung Fire...

and invested in the Christmas Fund...

which was facing a possible suspension...

due to its poor management of the funds.

Instead of minimizing the loss...

on the government's investment in the Christmas Fund,

we confirmed Senior Secretary Ahn Ji Hwan promised...

that Jusung would be evaluated favourably for the vice chairman...

to inherit the management rights for the mergers and acquisitions...

of Jusung's subsidiaries.

Was that the video file Ms. Hong Nan Hee had?

Was that the video...

Ms. Hong Nan Hee who was found dead in the campus lake...

was planning to give to me?

- This is all for today's... - Yes.

That's correct.

How did the video come into Ms. Hong's possession?

What's the connection between this case and Ms. Hong's case?

How was the video submitted as evidence?

Did Ms. Hong report the video to the police before she died?

How come this was submitted just now?

- Were you pressured? - Why now?

- Please answer our questions. - How did this just come about?

Why aren't you disclosing the video?

As for the aforementioned bribery case,

we neither overlooked anything...

nor went easy on them. We strictly followed the law.

So everyone has been indicted now.

And we have finished our investigation and collected...

all the necessary evidence to prove their crimes.

(Prosecution)

I solemnly swear...

to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth...

under pains...

- And during our investigation, - and penalties of perjury.

we confirmed that in an attempt to get rid of the video,

Attorney Nam Soo Hyuk of Ham & Lee killed Ms. Hong...

when she tried to disclose the video to the media...

and bribed an innocent man...

to make a false confession as Ms. Hong's murderer.

And he was indicted as well.

Defendant Ko Won Kyung...

and his co-defendant, Park Hong Kyu...

And other individuals who were involved in this case...

will face punishment...

based on our law.

Knowing about the false confession,

he was concerned about his son, the late Han Kang Baek,

who was a person of interest to the case would be suspected...

as the deceased victim, Hong Nan Hee's murderer.

So this is considered harbouring the culprit.

Through a deceptive plan,

he allowed the co-defendant to obstruct justice.

Defendant Nam Soo Hyuk...

murdered the victim brutally...

and abandoned the corpse.

And to hide his crime,

he bribed another man to make a false confession.

He incited concealment of the culprit...

and obstructed justice through a deceptive plan.

So a grave punishment is fitting for the defendant.

Furthermore, the court recognizes that the defendant...

had used and possessed narcotics.

Therefore, Defendant Nam Soo Hyuk...

will face 20 years in prison.

It wasn't me! I didn't push her to the lake!

It wasn't me!

Hong Nan Hee drowned!

But I never pushed her to the lake!

It wasn't me!

Hong Nan Hee drowned!

So it's over.

Good work.

Gosh. What a strange case this was.

What? Do you still feel like we missed something?

No. The medical examiner said...

Ms. Hong drowned.

Then the person...

who pushed her to the lake when she was alive is the culprit.

What? What's your point?

If Nam Soo Hyuk was the real culprit,

what was he doing there? Why didn't he leave right away?

What are you talking about?

Don't you remember what the medical examiner said?

Something was off.

There was a delay between the skull fracture and drowning.

The skull fracture was critical.

So if she wasn't treated, she would have died anyway.

I know that.

But what if there was one more person?

What if...

someone else dumped her to the lake like Nam Soo Hyuk said?

Attorney Nam took her bag.

During the trial, he said he got rid of...

Ms. Hong's USB flash drive and cell phone.

The recording file of his threat on Ms. Hong's cloud account.

And he was photographed trying to unlock her phone.

That's all the evidence we need.

Gosh. You're right.

You're on the right track as long as you don't get paranoid.

By the way, there's one thing for sure.

Detectives often wonder "What if I got the wrong guy?"

But you don't have to worry about that for this case.

Well done.

You worked hard too.

Right. You should buy me a meal.

(Letter of Resignation)

Is this your trick to avoid the disciplinary action?

Okay. Go ahead.

But the only disciplinary action I'll accept is dismissal.

- What? - You must be scared.

Your wrongdoings will also come to light...

if you try to punish me for what I've done.

Especially after what happened to Mr. Ko.

Are you threatening me?

No.

I at least know I'm neither capable nor ethical to be a prosecutor.

So I want to resign as fast as I can.

Han Hye Ryul.

You really are stubborn.

After destroying your own family,

you want to live in peace now.

But aren't you the one who benefited the most from my stubbornness?

Since you switched sides quickly,

my investigation went smoothly.

Maybe I should say I benefited from you.

I don't follow you.

Do you think you're the only righteous prosecutor?

If you count the number of CEOs I locked away,

your number won't even come close.

- Back in the day... - Right.

I won't be able to catch up.

I still have a lot to learn.

Especially your ability to play politics.

You can change your stance based on the situation.

No. You become a different person.

I will never be able to do that.

That's why you're the chief prosecutor.

And a senior prosecutor is as far as I could go.

So I'll apologize for my recklessness in the past.

Please be an assemblyman.

That suits you better, sir.

(1 year later)

Where's Gwang Jeon?

She went to the US with Kang Ye.

The US?

Yes. She retired. So when Kang Ye went abroad...

Hey. What's the point of explaining it again?

He'll forget it in an hour or so.

Here. Tuck this in.

Okay.

Take your time, and make sure to chew a lot.

Where's my wife?

I haven't seen her since yesterday.

Yesterday, my foot.

Lee Ae Hun left a long time ago.

Lee Ae Hun?

Who's Lee Ae Hun?

She's nobody.

Don't listen to her. Please have your meal.

There they come.

How do you feel now?

Do you accept the ruling?

So the Christmas Fund wasn't really used as a bribe...

for the succession of Jusung's management rights?

Did you know you would get out on probation today?

- Wait. - Please give us a comment.

- Just a comment! - Answer our questions.

- Hold on! - Wait!

- Come on. They left. - Wait!

I'm glad that you're out, honey.

- You're still here? - What?

I hoped you would be gone by the time I got out.

Are you that dense? Or do you not have a place to go?

The CEO of Ham & Lee, Han Gun Do,

and Vice Chairman Jung Tae Eul of Jusung...

had their appeals sentenced today.

The appellate tribunal...

acquitted them of some of their charges.

So they overturned their original sentence,

five-year imprisonment.

They were sentenced to two years and a half on probation...

Gosh.

Jusung and Ham & Lee are indeed on another level.

By the way,

only Senior Secretary Ahn's sentence didn't change.

The thing about him is that...

he got his position through connections, to begin with.

He basically came from nowhere.

Just look.

They will report about Han Gun Do and Jung Tae Eul in breaking news.

But they will write a few lines about Ahn Ji Hwan.

People have already forgotten who Ahn Ji Hwan is.

He was just tossed out.

I get it. A new administration is in power now.

In a way, he should be happy that he didn't get a heavier sentence.

Goodness.

Sir, hello.

Gosh. Where are my manners?

Hello, Assemblyman Jang.

I'm getting used to it too.

Salute.

Assemblyman Jang, please sit here.

Gosh.

The vice minister and the district representative will be here.

I'm not sure if I should sit at the head of the table.

Please don't say that.

You reformed the prosecution...

and uprooted any connections between the government and businesses.

Who's going to sit there, if not our famous prosecutor?

- Don't you agree? - Of course.

Given your ratings, you might have a chance to win...

the presidential election, not just the general election.

The general election.

The presidential election.

- Let's have a drink first. - Sure.

Okay.

All right. To the presidential election.

Let's do this.

Let's go for the presidential election.

(Free Legal Consultation for Discrimination Cases)

Well, here's the thing.

Your disability isn't considered...

a fair reason for dismissal,

so your case will be viewed as an unfair dismissal.

I suggest you file a wrongful dismissal claim...

through the Labour Relations Commission.

(Solidarity Against Disability Discrimination)

If there are things you don't understand, you can email us.

We're here every Wednesday,

so feel free to come back if you have any questions.

- Great, thank you. - No problem.

(Han Kang Baek)

Kang Baek.

I did the right thing, right?

Being able to go to bed without feeling the burden of guilt...

and wake up without feeling ashamed.

That's the kind of mother you wanted, right?

I'm sorry, Kang Baek.

Had I listened to what you had to say even just once...

No.

Had I been honest with you and told you everything,

then we would've been able to spend more time together.

I didn't know what was truly important.

That's why I made you suffer so much.

I'm sorry, Kang Baek.

But you know...

Despite everything,

I am truly grateful to you for coming to me as my son.

I miss you so much.

- Hey! - Over here!

- Come on! - Hey, throw it!

- Hey, go for it! - Go!

- What? - Did we score? Hey!

- Darn it. - Oh, boy.

- Hey! No! - Come on!

- Hey! - Over here!

- Throw it! - Come on!

Would you care for a cigarette?

Hey, get him!

Come on, move it.

- Go for it! - Throw it!

- Hey. - Come on.

- Go! - Go for it!

- Hey, pass it to him! - Over here!

I'm sorry.

It really wasn't me.

Well... It doesn't really matter now, does it?

I'm going to apply for a retrial.

Hong Nan Hee drowned, but I never threw her in the lake.

Right.

That prosecutor indicted me for murder...

but failed to prove such details.

You call that a ruling?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Hey!

If I don't repay my debt,

they will kill my entire family! They'll kill them brutally.

I'm sorry. I really am.

(Hopeful Tomorrow With KOREA CORRECTIONAL SERVICE)

(The day of Hong Nan Hee's death)

What I want to reveal is something else.

I'm sure you know where these are from.

Now that the situation has changed, the conditions should also change.

What are you after? How did you get these?

How... I mean, why do you have these?

Apologize.

Apologize to my father and the factory workers.

And apologize to me.

Or else, this will be the top headline of the news tomorrow.

Sir, how... Just how...

How did Hong Nan Hee get her hands on that video?

- Is that important now? - It sure is important.

- Back then, we made sure to... - That's right.

How could such a video exist in the first place?

We were extremely thorough and careful.

(Ham & Lee law corporation)

Here.

Don't get the wrong idea. I only kept it just in case.

If even just one of them pulls out, we'll have a problem.

That's why you called me here?

To get me roped into this so you can use me to clean up your mess?

Hey, Attorney Nam. Calm down, okay?

Don't say things that you'll regret later.

Let's be rational about this and come up with a plan.

It's not like we don't have a single weapon.

That car sex photo?

Yes. Let's send it to Kang Baek.

Kang Baek?

Clearly, that little witch...

doesn't know what she's dealing with here.

Let her have a little taste so she can see what she's up against.

Obviously, that photo will make Kang Baek fuming mad.

He loves his mother very much.

Then what?

Then we'll tell her.

"At the moment, only one person knows."

"But everyone will find out if you don't keep your mouth shut."

What if that isn't enough?

What if she threatens us that she'll go ahead and reveal it?

Well, then...

What can we do?

We'll have to kill her.

What should we eat in Sokcho?

It has so many delicious restaurants there.

Die. Then die!

Kang Baek!

Kang Baek.

Go home. Now.

You're a monster.

I could never be a monster.

I don't have that much power.

Ms. Han.

Hong Tae Hoon, the CEO of Hongyeon Engineering.

You don't recognize his name, do you?

I expected that.

You're only interested in cases like illegal successions of management...

that costs tens of millions of dollars...

or disturbances of the market.

But you're not at all interested...

in what Jusung did to its subcontractors...

with Ham & Lee's help.

To make sure the 100,000-dollar promissory note...

went through to avoid going bankrupt,

he sold his late wife's wedding present out of desperation.

You neither know how it feels nor interested in finding out.

Besides,

you should be more careful of people who want to use me, not me.

Between 11pm and 11:20pm,

I'll meet you at the place I said.

What do you want?

I wanted to talk to you in private.

So I was waiting for you this whole time.

I'm not complaining or anything.

While I was waiting,

I enjoyed a rare sight.

It was you. The person who sent Kang Baek the photos.

You're not so bad.

Any idea what I'm going to do?

I'm not so sure.

I see.

The photos I sent to Han Kang Baek.

I'm going to post them...

on the website that uses an untraceable foreign server.

Then it'll take less than an hour to dox who you are.

Na Geun Woo, female student,

car sex.

Who would overlook this?

What do you want?

Give me the original file you have.

Or your photos will make the headline tomorrow.

This isn't about ordinary sexual favours or lobby.

Are you threatening me?

Threatening you?

Threatening...

It does meet the condition for that.

I guess...

you weren't just flirting with the law school professor,

were you?

You should've...

comprehended it when I was being nice to you.

Why did you have to act stupid and make it worse?

Why?

Attorney Nam.

You looked like a real villain.

- What? - In movies,

villains always chitchat and mess everything up.

They think so highly of themselves.

Why do they have to explain so much...

when everything they do is wrongdoing?

- What are you doing? - What do you think?

You just messed things up.

(Recording)

This is a total scoop.

Thank you, Attorney Nam.

Besides, Han Hye Ryul will soon find out...

it was you who sent the photos.

Why did you do that?

Han Kang Baek is their precious child...

not even Han Gun Do can mess with.

They hold a lot over you, don't they?

So...

why did you have to act stupid and make things worse?

Dang it.

Dang it.

(Slide to power off)

Help...

Help me.

Han Gun Do?
