Subtitles by DramaFever

Jae Woong, I became an independent
counselor using your name.

Please watch over me
so that I can do this job well.

Jae Woong and Eun Byul must be together
watching over you from above.

You're right, sir. Since they're
together, they're not lonely.

If Eun Byul got to meet her grandpa,
she would've been so happy.

What's with this mood?
We should be laughing together as a family.

- Should we take a family picture?
- What picture, you...

Of course, I should buy you some good food
since you're working hard, Ha Ryu.

If I join the independent counsel,
Joo Da Hae might try to bother my family.

Please take care of my father
for a few days.

Don't worry, Ha Ryu.
We'll take good care of him.

- Then I only need to take care of Ahn Shim.
- Then I just need to watch that wolf Sam Do.

Please reject the appointment of
the independent counselor.

Reject the independent counselor?

If you don't reject it, it won't benefit you.
Reject the independent counselor.

What are you afraid of?

You said you had nothing to do with the
rumors. That takes care of it.

Besides, the independent counselor is a
product of the public opinion, not me.

Can't you see this is the opposite party's ploy
to embarrass you using the public opinion?

Don't worry about the independent counselor.
I already took care of it.

Took care of it?

If they send me two counselor nominees,
I have no choice but to appoint one of them.

Then I just need to choose the one on my side.

- Is that true?
- That's how it works with independent counselors.

Don't get nervous and just wait.

We've already discussed to get this
wrapped up while I take a trip to Europe.

[Special Office of Investigation
for First Lady's Alleged Corruption]

This is too much pressure
with so many reporters showing up.

Did all the reporters leave?

I just sent out Attorney Song with a few
investigators, so they all followed them.

Then I'll get to work, too.

Hold on.

First, there is something you
need to keep in mind.

What is it? Please tell me.

This investigation is only for the First Lady.

Make sure that there are no fragments
falling on the president.

Yes, sir.

Plan the investigation flow within the
boundary of not impacting the president.

If you can't keep that, you'll be let go right
away. Keep that in mind.

And don't pull any stunts.

I'll do my best to support you.
Don't worry.

I'll go see the First Lady now. I should adjust
some of the investigation schedule with her.

Sure, you just need to look
like you're working hard.

What did you say? The independent counselor
is Attorney Cha Jae Woong?

Yes, that's right.

- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure, ma'am.

Because of the president's trip to Europe,
the Prime Minister appointed the counselor.

Call the president right now. Now.

He's traveling in Europe, so we can't get
in contact with him now, ma'am.

Alright. You may leave.

Cha Jae Woong will investigate me
as the independent counseling team?

Ha Ryu is an independent counselor?

If I expose Cha Jae Woong,
the counseling team could easily dissolve.

- Minister of Justice.
- Yes, ma'am.

I am about to be investigated.

Do you think I made you the Minister of
Justice to see this happen to me?

I have no words.

You should've taken care of the
911 file discreetly.

I asked you to get rid of all the evidence,
and instead you left all the traces.

And you let the public opinion fall and
corner me with an independent counsel.

I believe this is your responsibility.
What do you think?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

There must not be an investigation.

Now that the counselors are appointed,
there is no way to halt the investigation.

You can dissolve the team itself.

- You just need to do some fingerprinting.
- Fingerprinting?

Please identify the fingerprint
I'm going to give to you.

Yes, ma'am.

- Have some green tea.
- Yes, ma'am.

What is your reason for this visit today?

I came to schedule the investigation.

Given the nature of this investigation
and its security issues...

It'll be best for you to come into the office
for the investigation.

Sounds like you think 'independent
counselor' is some important title.

If there is to be any investigation, I'll write
down answers to a questionnaire.

I have a lot of work to do in the Blue House...

So if you want to investigate me, adapt
your method and direction to my schedule.

It's not ideal to conduct an investigation
in the Blue House.

If it's not feasible, why don't we conduct it
at a third location?

A third location?

Why don't you have some tea first?

Also, there is a limit to the
written investigation.

That's fine. We'll contact you after finding
a third location. Will that work?

Then I'll wait for your call.

For the evidence of Baek Group giving
illegal political funds to Joo Da Hae...

I recorded the numbers on each 50,000
won bill with a camcorder.

It's all in here.

Let's make this a submission from Baek Hak
to the independent counselor Cha Jae Woong.

- And I'll keep this with me.
- Yes, I see what you're saying.

So we're finally starting to work
to catch Joo Da Hae.

Once we start investigating Joo Da Hae,
Baek Hak will have to be mentioned.

- You might have to face judicial consequences.
- I'm aware of it.

As part of investigating Joo Da Hae's
involvement in Do Hoon's accident...

your relationship with Do Hoon could be
revealed to the public.

I'm ready.

There is no longer any reason for me to hide
the fact that I'm Do Hoon's mother.

I should've done it a long time ago.

I heard you had to bear humiliation
in front of Joo Da Hae.

The day you reciprocate the pain, suffering,
and humiliation you received from Joo Da Hae

I'll make sure it comes soon.

Joo Da Hae won't just sit and watch
knowing that you're the counselor.

- Please be careful.
- I will, don't worry.

- Investigator Park.
- Yes?

This is a recording of numbers on the 50,000
won bills. Check where this money went.

Yes sir, understood.

It happened twice, five billion won each time.

The money was released during
this presidential election

- so focus on the candidates first.
- I got it.

- As soon as we catch a tail, we'll contact you.
- Thank you for your work.

- What is this about?
- Ma'am, they're the independent counselors.

I'm the independent counselor,
Cha Jae Woong.

This is a search warrant.

Find the hard disk for sales record
in the office.

Yes, sir.

You deposited 1.5 billion won
to Dae Sang Bank, correct?

What's wrong with depositing money
from the sale of artwork?

Illegal political funds came through here.
We already confirmed the numbers on the bill.

How would I know if it was
illegal political funds?

If that's the case, I'll send
you a formal subpoena.

You can have pictures taken by reporters and
sit in a hard chair in the investigation office.

Counselor!

Who bought the artwork with cash?

Should I arrange a face-to-face meeting?

- Green Hope Party...
- Was it Representative Han Young Sook?

Who did you say is here?

We're from the independent counsel team.
I'm Cha Jae Woong, the independent counselor.

Why bother visiting me when you're
investigating the First Lady?

Are you that bored?

I heard your resignation from the presidential
candidacy was related to the First Lady.

That's why I came to speak to you.

What are you talking about? I only resigned
for the better future of the country.

That's the artwork you recently purchased
from Dong Suh Gallery, correct?

We traced the money you used to buy it.
We already confirmed the numbers on the bill.

More importantly, the First Lady gave you
the cash in return for your resignation.

It's not a matter of compensation.
It's just a customary political fund.

You will be visiting the prosecutor's
office soon as a suspect.

- Take that painting.
- Yes, sir.

Counselor Cha Jae Woong is going
around making moves?

What's happening?
You said there wouldn't be any trouble.

Cha Jae Woong has evidence that I gave
you money in return for your resignation.

It seems that he has the numbers
on the bills.

If that's the case, we have no way
to escape this.

You have nothing to worry about.
Go back and focus on your job.

Ma'am! This is not a time to feel confident.
This is serious.

The independent counsel team
will be dissolved soon.

- Counselor Cha Jae Woong will be arrested.
- Arrested?

How can you make that happen?

Watch carefully what happens to
Counselor Cha Jae Woong.

Welcome, First Lady. Thank you very much
for accepting our request for investigation.

We have Attorney Shin Ho Chul to advise
the First Lady with her answers.

The lead for this investigation is
Counselor Cha Jae Woong.

Ha Ryu, you will be found out soon
that you are not Cha Jae Woong.

Because of the time limit,
I'll get right to the questions.

- During the last presidential election...
- Hold on, hold on...

I'd like to ask you a question to start with.

That's fine. Please go ahead.

Is the independent counselor legitimate?

That's correct. The team was formed
after going through a legal procedure.

Based on our findings, there is a problem
with Counselor Cha Jae Woong's identity.

- Attorney Cha Jae Woong?
- Yes, ma'am.

There is a report on the issue
of your identity.

Do you wish to reveal it yourself?

No, I have no such problem.

- Is the Minister of Justice here yet?
- He'll be here soon.

- Attorney Cha Jae Woong.
- Yes, ma'am.

Isn't it better you tell it yourself before
the Minister of Justice verifies your identity?

Ma'am, the Minister of Justice has arrived.

Hello, Minister.

How did you verify the identity of Attorney
Cha Jae Woong sitting over there?

We took the fingerprint of the cup
that Attorney Cha used...

and compared it to everyone
in our national file.

And were you able to verify the identity
of the person sitting over there?

- Ma'am.
- Yes.

I confirmed that he is Attorney Cha
Jae Woong. The fingerprint matched.

What?

Minister, could there be any mistake in this?

No, there isn't.
He is Attorney Cha Jae Woong for certain.

Commissioner, would changing the
fingerprint record leave any traces?

I'm doing this with my career on the line.
There can't be any mistakes.

The fingerprints you're entering now will
replace Cha Jae Woong's in the national file.

You'll perfectly become Cha Jae Woong
after changing the fingerprints...

But you may not be able to go back as Ha Ryu.
You'll have to live as Cha Jae Woong forever.

I made my decision.

Commissioner, I don't know how to
thank you for helping us like this.

I'm glad to be able to return the favor
President Baek Chang Hak has given me.

When and where do you think Joo Da Hae
plans to expose Cha Jae Woong's fingerprints?

Joo Da Hae agreed to the investigation
at a third location.

I'm sure she plans to expose Cha Jae
Woong's identity at that location.

First Lady.

If I'm not Cha Jae Woong,
who are you saying that I am?

As the Minister of Justice

do you check just anyone's fingerprints
to confirm their identity?

Did you use your authority over him,
First Lady?

That didn't happen.
I'll be leaving.

Ma'am, do you still think
I'm not Cha Jae Woong?

No, I don't.

Then I believe your question on my
identity has been answered.

I'll start the questions for our investigation.

Ma'am, did you give five billion won to
Han Young Suk of the Green Hope Party...

in return for resigning his candidacy
during the last presidential election?

Did you order a 911 voice file to be deleted?

Are you aware that your stepbrother
turned himself in

after killing your ex-husband in
a car explosion

but was recently acquitted and
released from prison?

Did you use your influence on
the Department of Justice?

Have you ever been investigated
for a murder by proxy?

First Lady.
First Lady! Please answer me!

Why do you keep asking questions that
have nothing to do with this investigation?

Don't you know the basics?
Ask only the necessary questions!

Ma'am, please calm down.

We'll refuse to answer if you ask questions
that are not stated on the paper.

The First Lady is very tired, so we'll stop the
investigation here. Ma'am, please get up.

Then I'll come to the Blue House
for the next inquiry session.

The investigation won't go smoothly.

Did you find Joo Yang Hyun's whereabouts?

I haven't heard anything yet.

We found Joo Yang Hyun's location.
He's in the southern region.

Good, go bring him right now.

Your stepbrother turned himself in after
killing your ex-husband in a car explosion.

But he was acquitted and released from
prison recently. Are you aware of that?

Did you use your influence on
the Department of Justice?

- Hello.
- Yang Hyun, it's me.

- Hi, Da Hae.
- I need you to come to Seoul right now.

- Did something happen?
- You need to come right away.

What is it about?

Thanks for coming to Seoul.
I need your help.

What is it?

- Kill Ha Ryu for me.
- What? Kill Ha Ryu?

Ha Ryu is bothering me too much.
I can't do anything.

What did Ha Ryu do to you?

It's always the same.
Blocking my path.

What the hell is wrong with him?

There's a law that you can't stand in trial
for the same crime twice.

You already had your trial for killing Ha Ryu.

So you can't be caught for
killing Ha Ryu again.

- What?
- You understand what I mean, right?

It's okay to kill him.
You won't be punished.

It's Ha Ryu who killed your father.

Aren't you upset to see Ha Ryu living
his brother's life after what he's done?

You missed Joo Yang Hyun?

We could've gotten him if we were
there 5 minutes early

but he slipped by us
right in front of our eyes.

Do you know where he went?

Looks like he knew we were coming. We
heard he was on the phone and left quickly.

He was on the phone...

Joo Da Hae, what are you doing this time?

Did Joo Da Hae tell you to do
this again? To kill me?

You should have died already.

You're right. You should've killed me,
not my brother.

- Me, not my brother!
- Don't play a victim using Cha Jae Woong.

You're the murderer who killed my father.

You still believe that I'm the murderer
who killed your father?

The one who stabbed your father was
Joo Da Hae, not me.

Stop talking nonsense!

You still don't get it? Joo Da Hae
is fooling you and using you.

She's plotting to put you back in prison
once you kill me.

You're Ha Ryu. You're already dead.

Killing you won't make me go to prison.

I'm no longer Ha Ryu,
I'm Cha Jae Woong.

I changed my identity completely,
even my fingerprints.

Joo Da Hae knows about this. If you kill me,
you're killing Cha Jae Woong.

If you don't believe me, I'll show you
what kind of person Joo Da Hae is.

Hello?

Joo Da Hae.

Ha Ryu.

Ha Ryu?
I'm Attorney Cha Jae Woong now.

Now that you've forged your identity,
you really believe you're an attorney?

Stop playing around and
leave the independent counsel team.

Why would I do that? Even a murderer
became the First Lady.

You're the one who killed your stepfather.

I was going to turn myself in.

You're the one who stopped me.

Still, you're the one who killed him.

So, you have any proof? There's
no evidence I killed Joo Young Tae.

Once you die, it's over.

Once I die, it's over?

- I think it's you that's over.
- What did you say?

Joo Yang Hyun heard everything you just
said through the speaker phone.

What?

What to do? Your only brother just ran out
like a crazy man to catch you.

Make sure to protect yourself.

Since I'll be the one to end your life.

Did... Joo Da Hae really kill my father?

Now that you found out about everything,
she'll try to kill you too.

No... even if that's the case, there's
no reason for Da Hae to hurt me.

Is that what you believe? If you can't
believe me, check if for yourself.

- Hello?

Da Hae, it's me.

Hi, Yang Hyun.

I couldn't kill Ha Ryu.

Is that right? Where are you now?

I'm on the run.
I should be hiding for a while.

Of course you should.

I'll need money and your help to
live in hiding. Can we meet now?

I get it. I'll head out now.

Okay, I'll see you there then.

Hello?

Da Hae will come.

No, Joo Da Hae is not coming.

Instead, she'll send people
to take you away.

She won't do that.

You lost Joo Yang Hyun?

Search the area.
You have to find him, you have to!

Dad...

Why did you come here?

I like this about being President.

Just say a word and I can go to places I want
to go and meet people I want to meet.

Sit.

- How are you doing?
- I'm at ease compared to when I was in Seoul.

Soo Jung, I'm sorry.

Please forgive me.

Forgiving is not necessary
between parents and children.

I just don't understand you right now.

After you left, I realized that
I made the wrong decision.

I'd like you to come back.

I can't promise you that I
will stay by your side.

Joo Da Hae will end up leaving
the Blue House.

What?

That's going to happen.
So please come back, Soo Jung.

I've requested a search warrant
for the Blue House.

Joo Da Hae must've done something,
I'm not getting the search warrant that easily.

Joo Da Hae would have figured that out.

Then we should bring out
what we've prepared.

I'll hold a press meeting about the 10 billion
won Joo Da Hae took after threatening us.

It'll damage Baek Hak, too.
Will you be okay?

I already made up my mind.
I'll do it.

Okay, I'll do the press conference tomorrow.

No, dad. I'll do it.

What are you talking about? If it comes to
that, I should be the one punished.

You have your own work to do. You should take
care of the accident with your brother-in-law.

I'll hold the press conference tomorrow.

Leak the news about my press conference
to the Blue House...

Then Joo Da Hae will make her move.

Auntie, I have a favor to ask you.

I know you're going through a tough time...
so I feel bad...

But please take care of dad.

Why are you asking me that for
your father?

I'm holding a press conference tomorrow.
I might get arrested.

- Arrested?
- Yes.

I'll get punished for dad's crime, too.

So please hate dad just a little.

The one who committed the crime is
supposed to be punished.

The only family I have left is dad and you.

Liar!

No!
Let go of this!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Liar!

No! This is not my place!

You're a murderer.

Murderer.

- Murderer.
- No.

Murderer.

- Murderer.
- No.

Murderer.

Ma'am.
Ma'am?

Ma'am, are you okay?

Yes.

It's urgent, so please excuse
me for coming in here.

President Baek Do Kyung at Baek Hak
is holding a press conference today.

What press conference?

It has to do with political funds.

I'm fine.

Please cancel all my appointments
this morning.

You shouldn't hold a press conference.
It won't be good for Baek Hak either.

I should at least sacrifice that much
to bring down the First Lady.

Are you saying we should die together?

You feel like you'll die?
Then I have to do it.

We won't die from it.

Please save me.

- What?
- As you know, I worked hard to get here.

You know I didn't just get here.

You're right. You could be disappointed
while I was looking out for my own greed.

- Why don't you give me some time?
- What time?

Time for me to be good to Baek Hak.

It could be good for both of us.

Seems that your days at the Blue House
are numbered. So go back.

President.

I'll get you kicked out of the Blue House more
tragically than when you were at Baek Hak.

Baek Hak Group gave money to the First Lady
Joo Da Hae twice, five billion won each time.

Five billion?

For the fact that a big corporation caused
trouble, losing its sense of ethics...

I sincerely apologize.

- Why did you give her the money?
- Do you have documents to prove that?

Why are you revealing this now?

I will reveal everything to
the independent counsel team.

I promise that I'll give my full cooperation
in the investigation.

- Unethical First Lady, get out! Get out!
- Get out! Get out!

- Open up the investigation file!
- Open the file! Open the file!

- First Lady should apologize to the public!
- Apologize! Apologize!

[President Baek Do Kyung of Baek Hak Group
admits giving political funds to the First Lady]

Security, take care of it now!

Don't worry, ma'am.
We'll take care of it soon.

You shouldn't have let
this happen to begin with!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

When is the President coming back?
Shouldn't he have arrived yesterday?

He's coming back soon. But a phone call will
be difficult because of his busy schedule...

Fine, you may leave.

Please connect me to the
Police Commissioner.

Illegal protests are everywhere on the street.
Is the police just watching this?

Get out! Get out!

- Open up the investigation file to the public!
- Open the file! Open the file!

Get out! Get out!

- Open up the investigation file!
- Open the file! Open the file!

Get out, First Lady!

Despite the police effort last night,
more citizens are joining the protest.

In the middle of the uproar from citizens...

the Blue House that's been blamed for
covering up for the First Lady...

has made an official statement this morning.

We'll listen to the Blue House spokesman
Kim Min Hwan.

I am confirming again that the President

had nothing to do with the First Lady's
political fund of 10 billion won.

And the Blue House will fully cooperate
in this special investigation...

so that there is not a shred of doubt
remaining in the citizens' minds.

President Seok Tae Il asked the independent
counselors to reveal everything clearly...

Ma'am, the President has just returned
to the Blue House.

Mr. President.

Please give me some time.

Didn't you say that the special investigation is
just for show? And not to worry about it?

And now what?
You have nothing to do with this?

You must be really scared.
I've never seen you this upset.

Are you making fun of me right now?

The First Lady getting dragged
into investigations

is not good for the President, either.

You're not saying we should
go down together, are you?

There is a way.

Let's get a divorce.

What did you say?

As you said, we can't go down together.

How could the President of Korea be involved
in dirty rumors he knows nothing about?

You know nothing about it?

Looks like you forgot in the middle of
your busy work schedule...

I know about your involvement in the murder
of Chung Young Ho...

If the citizens find out about the
President's involvement in a murder...

then the First Lady's bribe trouble
will be buried without any trace.

Are you threatening me again?

That's the only thing you can do.

On the other hand, did you know the President
cannot be put on criminal trial during the term?

Besides, who among the citizens would
believe your words?

When they already know your words in the
autobiography and to the media are lies.

Who made you President?

- How can you do this to me now...
- In gratitude for that, I'll give you advice.

Before it gets worse, why don't you
walk out on your own?

I received money from Joo Da Hae as payment
for my resignation from presidential candidacy.

We have enough evidence.

If I get to search the First Lady's residence,
I can complete the evidence material.

Come in.

- We have the search warrant.
- Do we?

- Good, go ahead.
- I will.

We don't know the location of search yet,
but we're following...

They are heading to the Blue House!

Ma'am.

The independent counsel team left for
the Blue House just now.

Did they?

Should I cancel the junior concert
scheduled for this afternoon?

- No, let's go ahead with the schedule.
- Yes, ma'am.

Where should I put your coffee?

Thank you.

- Ma'am, are you okay?
- I'm fine.

- I should change first.
- Yes, ma'am.

We still have time.

The First Lady has arrived.

Was there any external pressure in
searching the Blue House?

- Do you plan to investigate the President too?
- Are you taking the First Lady for investigation?

- Did you find evidence?
- Will you put the current First Lady on trial?

Please tell us!

This is the search warrant allowing the
independent counselors to search the Blue House.

Dear boys and girls, I was also the head of
a household when I was a teenager.

I had to give up going to college and work
to pay for my mother's hospital bill.

Team Two go to the First Lady's office.

Team Three and Four go to the storage of
the President's family belongings.

Team One will be with me and head to
the living quarters and the bedroom.

Yes, sir.

You cannot enter the living quarters without
the permission of the First Lady.

That's why I have the warrant.

Without the First Lady's permission,
it will not happen.

Then I'll have to meet with the First Lady.
Where is she now?

The counselors are here
with a search warrant.

We're in the middle of a concert.

The situation is more serious than expected.

Please tell them to wait until
the performance is over.

We will begin our search and seizure.

Do you think doing this
completes your revenge on me?

You're still immature.

You should speak with class
as the current First Lady, ma'am.

Would you please open that safe?

You even brought the warrant,
so I should.

Can you impeach the President
just with your sheer will?

I'm not interested in the President.
I'm only interested in the First Lady.

I've already been humiliated enough.

I'll pay it back to you with enough interest.

Humiliation won't be the end of it

if the First Lady, who should receive
respect from the people, is a murderer.

This is your answer?

You'll kill me again...

How do you want it to end?

This is not the place for you. Go back to
your place. Back to a shack in the slum.

Walk with your own feet and
go back to your own place.

Freeze! Down on the floor!

Ma'am! Ma'am!

We have a live situation!
To the living quarters! Living quarters!

Ma'am, are you okay?

Doctor... please call the doctor.

Call the medical team! Now!
