Original subtitles

Just tell me the truth. I just have to know who killed my son.

(Last episode)

I should have turned myself in then.

I did everything I could as a father for you.

It was to save your life.

I'm not asking you to just give it to me. I'll pay you back soon.

Just because you confess doesn't mean the dead child will return.

Instead,

it'll only cause chaos.

I saw a head break open before, and it's not a pleasant sight.

Do you want to kill me, too?

Do you want to hear something funny?

My brother here...

It's almost certain that he's the suspect.

If he was a witness, he would have said so when we saw him.

That man... He was here.

Secretary Sung said she's seen him in the office.

She saw him coming out of President Lee's office.

(Episode 11)

You are still at work.

What is it?

Do you know him?

A person came to see you yesterday.

Is it him?

He was wearing a suit.

Is it?

He resembles someone I know.

Who is it?

Why are you looking for him?

Why does it matter? Just tell me who he is!

- Lawyer Park! - Why did he come to see you?

What did you talk about?

Why are you so upset?

He's the one that killed Dong Woo.

He's the suspect.

Detective Kim Chang Soo is waiting outside...

If he demanded money, it's likely that he's a witness.

As for now, it's more likely that he's the suspect.

Who is he?

We can't guarantee that the person who came to see me is him.

I'll confirm on my own. Just give me his name and number.

He's on the run, so I don't know his number either.

On the run?

Due to bankruptcy, his father ran away to China.

And his mother had a stroke and is currently in a vegetative state.

He was threatened by loan sharks because of it.

He had no place to run and came to me for legal advise.

How do you know him?

We're not close.

I gave his father legal advise long time ago.

He came without calling me, so I was surprised, too.

I don't get it.

- What don't you get? - He knows I work here.

Why did he come to you for advise while exposing himself?

It doesn't make sense.

That's why he's probably not the one.

You said the montage looks like him!

I'm not certain!

And even if he was the same person,

he probably didn't care about getting exposed.

According to your story, it would be before the montage was made.

I don't care what goes around in his head. I have to find him.

What's his name?

Tell me the name of his father's company, too.

I can't remember the company name since it's been so long.

He came for legal advise yesterday,

and you forgot?

We talked for 10 minutes then he left abruptly and never came back.

He never mentioned the company name while we talked.

I'll find it no matter what.

Just give me his name.

Calm down and...

Is this something to be calm about?

Would you act the same if it was about Seung Ho?

Are you going to tell him to confess because you think it's him?

What's his name?

You can't prove anything with just assumptions!

You have no evidence nor witnesses.

I'll take care of it!

He's someone's son, too!

Why are you doing this to me?

I'm doing this for you!

He's in a lot of trouble right now.

He's mentally unstable.

If you approach him without a plan, it might cause a negative effect.

Mentally unstable?

What are you talking about? A dog walking by will laugh at you.

If you mistake an innocent person as the suspect,

- it will be a big problem. - So just tell me the name.

I'll check if he really committed the crime or not!

If you act like this, you might ruin this chance!

I'll ask around about him to find out, so leave it to me.

I can't allow that.

I'm a father, too!

And I know very well what pains you went through!

I'm doing this because I care. Just do as I say.

I don't...

want to do anything I'll regret any more.

Up until now,

I told myself that I kept myself busy for Dong Woo.

But that wasn't true. I just ran away.

I ran away as hard as I could to escape from my painful memories.

But I won't do that any more.

- I can't do that any more. - I won't make you wait too long.

Even tomorrow, if I can get some information...

I don't have the time.

A minute or a second is like a year or 10 years for me.

I know that you mean well.

But it's something I have to take care of myself.

What did he say?

Check on his address.

Is his name Kang Hyun Wook?

Yes.

He's on the run because of loan sharks.

He's about 30 years old.

It won't be easy to find him with only this information.

I'll search as well, so try and do everything you can.

Ask Secretary Bong for help.

All right.

But why did you come to see President Lee?

It's a long story. I'll tell you later.

Wait.

Detective Kim...

has been waiting for a while.

Right.

Lawyer Park, I don't know what it is, but I think...

you should record him.

Okay.

Come in.

What?

You can be my recorder.

I told you to be careful.

Do you think he might have noticed?

I'm not sure.

Go in first.

So?

You gave him Hyun Wook's name?

I had no choice.

But it won't be easy to find him just with the name.

Even if they find him, it'll take a long time.

I have to find Hyun Wook before then.

Did he get in touch with you?

His phone is turned off.

Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.

Even if they find out about him, there's nothing they can do.

No proof remains.

If Hyun Wook calls, tell him to call me on a payphone.

Act carefully.

(Looking for this person. Reward will be given for finding him.)

Seung Ho!

Where is Prosecutor Kang?

He's waiting inside with Reporter Joo.

Thank you for everything.

- Don't mention it. - Let's go inside.

Let him go.

Why?

There's been a change of plans.

He's not the culprit?

The fact that the culprit himself demanded money...

doesn't seem reasonable at all.

Isn't he completely psychotic?

We should have caught him back then no matter what.

Then you'd end up in a rut like me.

Are you referring to Shin Young Jin of Hankuk Group?

You'd still be working if it hadn't been for him.

Forget it.

The fact that he visited the law firm...

means he wanted to meet Park Tae Seok.

However, he was probably hesitant...

to interact with him at first.

Coincidentally, the culprit offered to give a large sum of money,

so he changed his mind. I think this is more probable.

Whatever the case, you're saying he's a witness, not the culprit?

I'm 100 percent certain.

I had no idea such a thing happened to Min Gyu's mother.

Plus, she's such a simple and honest person.

You contacted me...

after she had asked you to find Min Gyu who's missing.

I'm still looking for him, so...

You must have a lot of thoughts.

Pardon me.

What were we saying?

He said he's still looking for Min Gyu.

I'm looking for him whenever I can,

but no one knows of his whereabouts.

He might already be dead.

Why do you keep looking for Kang Hyun Wook?

Who's Kang Hyun Wook?

Do you mean Min Gyu?

I think you mean Cheon Min Gyu, who's missing.

Right.

Yes, Min Gyu.

Is there any reason why you keep looking for him?

Do you...

remember the Hope Market murder case?

You were in charge of the first trial,

but I heard you quit before the second trial.

Are you saying...

that case is related to Min Gyu?

About 10 years ago,

during a crackdown of crimes related to narcotics,

we caught Min Gyu.

But out of nowhere,

he brought up the Hope Market murder case.

The culprit was someone else,

but someone else took the blame and went to prison.

One law for the rich and another for the poor!

Stop talking nonsense!

It isn't nonsense.

I know who killed the old lady...

at Hope Market.

Did he say who the real culprit is?

He asked to see someone of a higher position,

but ever since then, he didn't mention it any more.

In other words, someone wanted to make a deal.

- So what happened? - I reported to my superior,

but...

things went awry since then.

What do you mean?

Haven't you heard of it before?

I've never heard of it.

Min Gyu...

decided not to testify.

He insisted he never said he knew the real culprit.

Then what happened?

I was the one who became a fool.

What's more surprising...

is that the prosecution didn't even indict Min Gyu.

Did they release a drug dealer?

What was their reason?

That he wasn't the main culprit,

and since he revealed the provider of the narcotics,

he deserves to be rehabilitated.

Something seems suspicious.

Don't you think it's extremely suspicious?

Do you still think...

Gwon Myung Soo is guilty?

I didn't kill him.

I only stole the money. I'm telling you the truth!

You say you only stole money this time,

but what else will you lie about next?

But you haven't done enough investigation.

I heard Myung Soo was pressured to admit that he's guilty.

Why are you still hanging onto that case?

I couldn't prevent someone innocent from being charged for murder,

but finding the real culprit is the least I could do.

The guilty must pay for what he did.

Isn't that why I get paid by the government?

Didn't anyone apply for retrial?

I'm sure it was rejected.

Granting retrial...

would be admitting to charging an innocent man.

The prosecution would also be in a difficult situation.

I should get going.

There's another case of youth violence.

When did Min Gyu go missing?

It was three days after...

he was released by the police.

Doesn't this also seem suspicious?

Did Min Gyu mention any evidence related to the culprit?

He said the culprit may be related to narcotics.

He also said, "One law for the rich..."

"and another for the poor."

Those are the evidence.

By the way,

what a coincidence.

Did you know...

that President Lee Chan Moo...

was in charge of Myung Soo's case?

Yes, I met him for the first time then.

Then,

do you also know that Lawyer Han Jeong Won...

was the one who didn't indict Min Gyu?

You didn't know?

I guess not.

The fact that...

the lawyers who were in charge...

of the case work at the same law firm...

seems too surprising that it can't just be a coincidence.

After all, the world of lawyers...

may not be so big.

What happened?

It's complicated.

What is?

(Lawyer Han Jeong Won didn't indict Cheon Min Gyu.)

(Kang Hyun Wook is missing, check murder case of Hope Market...)

(The culprit is someone else.)

(Kang Hyun Wook is missing.)

(The culprit is someone else.)

(Lawyer Han Jeong Won didn't indict Cheon Min Gyu.)

This isn't a coincidence.

It can't be.

I heard artificial intelligence may take over lawyers' jobs.

I wonder if it's true.

When I imagine...

two lawyer robots defending in court...

What have you been thinking about?

Nothing important.

Tell me...

what you're concerned about these days.

I have no concerns.

Shall we leave?

What am I to you?

We spent quite some time together,

but I have no idea what you're thinking...

or concerned about.

It's because you don't tell me anything.

There isn't much to tell.

You know more about what goes on at the law firm.

I'm not talking about work.

I'm talking about what's in your heart.

I'm sorry, but I'm not in the mood to respond to your childish act.

"Childish act"?

I'm tired today, so let's not talk about that now.

Do you think,

despite having to put up with everything,

could you be happy?

Are you happy now?

I want you to think about that.

I'm not sure...

what happiness is.

You should head home.

You need to recharge if you want to run around tomorrow.

You should go and rest.

Dong Woo died because of me.

I promised...

my wife that I would pick him up that day.

But due to my interview with Myung Soo,

I didn't realise I was late.

Because I felt guilty,

I blamed it all on Myung Soo.

It's his fault.

I couldn't protect my son because of him.

Maybe...

the frustration of not being able to catch the criminal...

transferred to Myung Soo.

No.

I treated him like he was the suspect.

Both as murderers...

It's not your fault.

It's my fault.

If I...

just trusted what Myung Soo said then,

and if I tried to prove his innocence,

he wouldn't have spent so many years in prison for nothing.

In the end,

I lost both murderers at the same time.

Don't make that face.

I've been given a chance.

What do you mean?

Life is unfair.

There must have been an easier way.

I've been given a hard task to redeem myself.

The winter has to pass for the spring to come.

Just consider it as a positive sign for the better days to come.

Forget it. You're so typical.

Am I?

I was moved by my own words.

Dad, we're waiting outside your office. Hurry up and come down.

I have to catch both of them.

I can't lose this chance again.

I'll help as well.

Of course. You're my partner.

Well, I don't think I have to. It's not part of work.

You're getting a private lesson from a talented lawyer. Be honoured.

Don't try to make an excuse for slaving me.

Does Secretary Bong know?

About what?

The secret that you found out about me.

I thought so.

You don't have to worry.

You can't hold a poker face, so how can I not worry?

You asked me too suddenly.

Do I have to warn you before asking you a question?

Well, that's true...

I think I have to switch partners.

What happened?

I think...

you'll have to teach Lawyer Jeong a lot.

I'm sorry?

- Yeon Woo! - Dad!

You promised we would go and get ice cream.

It's too late. Let's have some tomorrow.

It's only 9pm.

Shall we go for a drive and get ice cream, too?

- I'd like that. - Me, too.

- My dad is the best. - Really?

Yes. You're the world's best dad.

Aren't you tired? You should go home and rest.

I'm not sure if it's the herbal medicine, but I'm energetic.

What are you doing, Dad?

Okay.

Here we go. One, two, three.

Here.

One, two, three.

Dad's still not picking up?

He left his phone here.

Maybe the ice cream store is closed.

I'm not sure.

I'll be right back.

I'll go.

No, it's okay...

Did I come this way?

Or was it that way?

They all look the same.

Jeong Woo.

Dad.

Jeong Woo!

Yes, Dad.

The ice cream melted.

Should we buy new ones?

No, it's okay.

No, it'll get on your hands.

I'll hold them.

I'll just wash them.

I already got them on my hands.

Let's go.

There they are.

It's all melted.

It's more tasty that way.

- Really? - Yes. Try it.

You are right.

I told you.

Stop saying that.

Once I pass the bar exam,

you will live well with pride.

Trust me.

What?

What?

Is everything all right at school?

Yes.

Is Myung Soo doing well?

Yes.

- Jeong Woo. Go on first. - Dad.

No, you go on first.

Okay.

Last night,

I got lost in the park.

I know.

Thanks to you,

I found my way.

I got lost because...

of a disease called Alzheimer's.

When you get Alzheimer's,

you can't remember well,

and you sometimes get lost like I did yesterday.

Do you need to get surgery?

It can't be fixed by getting a surgery.

Then how can you fix it?

Is it incurable?

You know that Jae Min is a doctor, right?

- Yes. - He told me...

that I don't need to worry since I'm in the early stages.

He's a very famous doctor.

Remember what you told me?

You said hope is a good thing.

I believe that...

no good thing ever dies.

I'm going to do my best to overcome it,

so don't worry too much.

Okay?

Okay.

Shall we go?

I believe in you, Dad.

I believe in you more than anyone else.

So Dad.

Stay strong.

I'll be good to Mum and Yeon Woo.

You're all grown up.

Goodness.

My son.

When did you become an adult already?

I have to grow up more.

Gosh, you're so cute.

Jeong Woo.

Yes?

I heard you talked with Dad.

Yes.

Don't worry too much.

Dad will be okay.

Jeong Woo.

It's okay.

It'll be okay.

It's okay.

Seon Hwa?

Go on.

Those patches Lawyer Park wears are nicotine patches, right?

Yes, why do you ask?

I wonder if nicotine patches are that small these days.

What are you talking about?

What? Nothing.

Did you look through Lawyer Park's briefcase?

No, I...

Yes. I had to check whose it was.

I am sure you did.

Nicotine patches come in various sizes these days.

I bought them for him.

Is that so?

Let me know if you need them.

But I don't smoke.

Health is more important than anything else.

Then you'll live long.

Lawyer Kim saw Lawyer Park's patches.

How?

He must have looked through his briefcase in the restroom last time.

- So? - I said they're nicotine patches.

Then he won't care.

Still, be extra careful.

Don't tell him.

What secret is this?

It's not a secret.

It seems like a secret.

I said it isn't!

Good morning, Lawyer Park!

Good morning.

It must be especially good.

Did you enjoy your time with the family yesterday?

Yes, thanks to you.

You're welcome.

Secretary Bong, you seem especially great today.

Really? I look the same as usual.

Is that so?

You told me not to make it obvious.

Have you found anything more on Kang Hyun Wook?

Something will come up since I've asked various sources.

Good job. Is President Lee here?

Do you want me to check?

I'll check myself.

Hello, this is Park Tae Seok.

The police?

What's going on?

I found Kang Hyun Wook.

- Where? - He hanged himself in the mountain.

What do you mean?

I'll let you know when I'm back.

Who hanged himself?

What are you talking about?

A suicide?

Judge Na!

Is it suicide?

Are you sure?

You can tell just by looking.

If you hang someone after they're dead,

they've already started to stiffen.

So the mark it leaves on the neck and face is hard to be seen.

Here.

Look right here.

Here's the mark on the neck and the blood congestion on the face.

Yes.

This is definitely a suicide.

And in the will he wrote to you,

he admitted to the hit-and-run...

while asking for your forgiveness.

This is impossible.

How dare you?

How dare you die?

Get up. Get up right now.

Eun Sun.

You should have asked for forgiveness while you were alive.

You should have!

How dare you die? How dare you?

Calm down.

How can you be so cowardly? How can you be such a coward?

Calm down.

This is the will he left addressed to you.

(Dear Lawyer Park Tae Seok...)

Now that you found the suspect,

you should be at least grateful.

At least...

he had a conscience.

He took his own life.

Have you contacted his family?

His mother is brain-dead,

and his dad is out of contact.

We were able to get in touch with his cousin,

but they didn't care.

When will the autopsy results come out?

We have a will,

and it's easy to see the signs of suicide.

So why an autopsy?

You don't have the eyes of an NFS agent.

Wills can easily be forged.

It's in his handwriting.

How can you be so sure?

It seems like...

you have something against me.

But don't let personal matters get involved in this.

File for an autopsy.

And what right do you have...

to tell me what to do?

Do you want me to call the chief of the National Police Agency?

You better do it right this time.

Because...

I'm going to be watching you.

Dear Lawyer Park Tae Seok.

It was me who hit your son and ran away.

For a long time, I suffered from the guilt.

I hope you can forgive me.

I'm really sorry.

I don't understand.

When I met him at the bar,

I couldn't find an inch of guilt in him.

Instead, he looked like he was enjoying running into me.

The statute of limitations already expired,

so why now?

It doesn't make sense.

We'll know for sure when the autopsy results come out.

His clothes.

What about his clothes?

He was wearing the same clothes when I saw him back then.

Could he have...

had a change of mind after meeting me?

Don't think too much for now and go rest.

The autopsy results will be out in 3 to 4 days.

I'll call you then.

I didn't think it would end like this.

I feel so empty.

It's not over yet.

What do you mean?

I can't explain it right now,

but something's bothering me.

It feels like a puzzle piece has been forced into the wrong place.

Something's not right.

I don't know where to start.

But in order to find the way,

I have no choice but to start from where I got lost.

What do you plan on doing?

I plan on researching about Kang Hyun Wook first.

How he lived...

and what kind of person he was.

Then I'm sure something will start to surface.

What does that matter now?

I have to do my best...

so that I won't regret it.

You...

changed a lot.

Why are you here?

Why are you here?

Was it you?

- What are you talking about? - Hyun Wook wouldn't kill himself.

He would never do that.

So what?

Do you think I did it?

Hyun Wook...

was out of reach ever since he came to see you.

I told you, he never showed up to our meeting place.

The day after you told Lawyer Park his name,

Hyun Wook was found dead.

Are you telling me this is a coincidence?

How dare you suspect me?

After all that I did in order to protect you!

Did you think so lowly of me all this time?

Are you saying you didn't do it?

I don't want to talk to you any more.

Answer me!

It's not you, right?

You didn't do it, right?

Father...

I gave up on my conscience to protect my child,

but I still wouldn't take away someone's life.

(Kang Hyun Wook)

Find out everything you can about him.

Family, hometown, school...

and whatever else you can dig up.

What did he write on the will?

He confessed.

Then he must be the suspect.

The situation seems to say that.

I didn't think he would commit suicide.

I heard that mysophobia patients rarely commit suicide.

Why is that?

I read it somewhere.

OCD patients often feel the urge to commit suicide,

but mysophobia patients are scared to die just anywhere.

Even if they decide to die,

they end up cleaning the house first...

and changing their sheets.

Well, I guess it's all useless now.

It's already over.

Are you all right?

I'm free today.

I'm up for a drink. Just tell me what you need.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to see someone.

Hyun Wook wouldn't kill himself. He would never do that.

(Beloved son, Park Dong Woo)

Here you go.

Thank you.

The kimchi must have been hard to carry. You should've called me.

I took my time coming here, considering it as my exercise.

Where are the children?

Yeon Woo will be home soon.

Stay for dinner after Tae Seok comes home.

I must get back to work.

You don't seem well.

Are you sick?

Of course not.

Is Tae Seok...

unwell?

Of course not. He's healthy.

Don't hide it from me and be honest.

When Tae Seok visited me a while ago,

he talked about the past.

I ask because something seems wrong.

He is sick, isn't he?

Mother.

It's okay.

Just tell me what's going on.

A mother should know...

when her son is sick.

What's wrong with Tae Seok and how bad is it?

Mother...

Don't worry too much.

He's still in the early stages.

Early stages?

Is it cancer?

He has Alzheimer's.

Mother.

It's still in the early stages, and as long as he follows...

the doctor's orders, it can be postponed.

It doesn't affect his normal life.

Tae Seok is doing well.

And he still goes to work.

Cures are being developed,

so don't worry too much, Mother.

(Wife)

Hello?

Mother stopped by.

Mum?

It's heartbreaking,

but we must make small sacrifices for bigger things.

Still, this is wrong.

This is the result of your good deed.

Being good is certainly important.

It's valuable and precious.

However, it can sometimes impair judgment.

When you said you'll hire Lawyer Park to join the firm,

I warned you...

that your good deed for your own satisfaction...

will result in a disaster instead.

It has nothing to do with what happened.

That's not true.

You should have...

cut off ties that were wrong from the beginning.

If you had,

Hyun Wook...

wouldn't have met such a tragic end.

- Mother. - To protect something precious,

sacrifices are necessary.

Everything is completely over now,

so you won't have to worry about this any more.

The only one I'm concerned about is Seung Ho.

Since he takes after you, he's too kind.

You should convince him...

so that he won't feel perplexed.

Hurry and send him to study abroad.

Mum.

Why are you drinking by yourself? May I join you?

What brings you here?

What do you mean? I came to see you.

Here.

What is it?

It's good for the joints.

Young Joo bought it for you.

You should take it. I'm fine.

I'm also taking it.

Where are your customers?

I closed the shop tonight...

because I wanted to drink.

That's good.

I know that...

there are days like that.

Have you had dinner?

Of course.

Oriental melons are in season now. Wait a minute.

I have to go now.

Already?

Yes, I have to go somewhere.

You don't have to come out.

Tae Seok!

My precious son.

My treasure.

Mum!

What am I going to do with you?

My son...

My poor son.

I'm fine, Mum.

Don't worry, Mum.

I wish...

I was the one that was sick.

My old self should have gotten it.

I'm so sorry, Mum.

I'm sorry, my son.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry...

Dong Woo.

Dad.

Yes, it's Dad.

It's me, Dong Woo.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't gather up the courage.

Who was that?

Whose voice was that?

I'm sorry.

I couldn't...

gather up the courage.

Where did he go?

Do you know where Lawyer Park went?

Is he not in?

No. Maybe he went to the restroom.

I didn't see him there.

I saw him run out just now.

He needs to leave now for his meeting with Hankuk Group.

- What about President Lee? - He's going straight there.

I'll go ahead first.

If he comes back or if you get in touch with him, call me.

I will.

Any calls from Lawyer Park yet?

Not yet. What should we do?

I'll take care of it.

Don't worry.

Including Lawyer Park, we did our best.

But now that we found out Kwon Mi Joo has evidence,

it would be best to find a way to settle.

Where did Lawyer Park go...

at a time like this?

He had...

something urgent come up. He asked me to apologise on his behalf.

Why were you so careless...

with such an important evidence?

- I'm sorry. - That's not going to cut it!

I think Kwon Mi Joo was keeping that watch.

Are you sure it wasn't Lawyer Jeong who handed it over to Lawyer Do?

What are you talking about?

I was curious how Lawyer Do...

got a hold of that watch.

So I checked the security footages.

And in it...

was someone I never expected.

Lawyer Jeong.

What were you trying to find in the trash?

What are you talking about?

I'm telling you that we've been backstabbed.

Explain it so I can understand.

I'm sure Lawyer Jeong will explain.

What did you find?

I couldn't find anything.

You're bad at lying.

You found my watch, didn't you?

Should I tell you what I think?

Lawyer Park has a bad habit of biting his owner.

And he must have...

set his mind to it this time.

Lawyer Jeong...

had no choice since he was ordered by his boss.

Am I right?

No. I think you have a huge misunderstanding.

Why don't you check the footages right now?

You're bolder than you seem.

What brings you here?

Seung Ho.

I thought a lot on my way here.

I thought about...

how and from where things went wrong.

I was confused,

but one thing is certain.

You have...

something to tell me.

What do you mean?

What you wanted to tell me...

The confession you couldn't make because you weren't brave enough...

I'd like to hear it now.

(Memory)

Keep Tae Seok and Jin under our watch.

Find out what they're doing and whom they meeting!

I want to break the promise that I'll follow your rules.

Losing Dong Woo must have hurt him a lot.

He's always with Dong Woo.

If Dong Woo was taken earlier to the hospital,

he could have been saved.

If you don't remain strong, our whole family will be ruined.

Things are already ruined for you and me.

We're just murderers.

Why didn't you tell me Hyun Wook was Seung Ho's friend?

I can't back away or change anything any more.

You said I killed him. You don't believe me.

But now you want to be my lawyer?

Taesun Law Firm would never allow that.

We went in circles...

and finally came back to the start.

There are some things I must fix.

What are you doing?

Once I'm done, I won't be here.

I can guarantee you one thing.

I won't do anything...

I'll regret any more.
