(Detective Nam Appears to the Hearing as a Witness.)

He was alive.

(48 hours before the hearing)

Let's announce...

that Detective Nam committed suicide.

What?

How can that make any sense?

How can we announce a person who's alive as dead?

This is the only way we can arrest Seung Ro.

Please help us, Ms. Lee.

In a way,

Detective Nam was also a victim of a power game.

Even so,

he did commit a lot of crimes.

Mi Jin.

I wouldn't usually say this,

but your husband...

will get at least 30 years in prison even if he wakes up.

So you should cooperate when you have the chance.

If he cooperates and testifies at the hearing,

his sentence will be mitigated.

Your husband has to pay for what he did.

Don't you think he should...

comfort those who died innocently?

She's here.

(Criminal Department)

Detective Nam Byung Jae of Seoul Regional Investigation Unit,

who has been charged with the murder and abandonment of the body...

of Lee Eun Ja, a housewife who went missing 10 years ago,

hung himself in jail yesterday afternoon.

He was hospitalized immediately,

but died.

Did he leave a will?

What made him commit suicide?

The police believes Nam felt burdened during the investigation...

and committed suicide. They are still under investigation.

Stop thinking about dying.

Uncover the truth with that determination.

That's what you should do.

Seung Ro...

won't protect your family just because you die.

Don't you get it yet?

You must live...

and protect your own family.

You're the head of your household.

I will cause...

more pain to my family if I stay alive.

So just leave.

What you're doing is useless.

Think about it.

Tomorrow is the last day of his hearing.

After tomorrow,

everything will be over.

When Detective Nam...

(1st day of hearing)

got arrested while throwing her body away,

the chief prosecutor was afraid he would come out into the open,

so he threatened Detective Nam with his son and wife as hostages.

He made Detective Nam commit suicide for his family.

Detective Nam is nothing but a corrupt detective...

who killed himself because he was afraid...

his corruption would be disclosed.

I did receive his call for help,

but I told him to stick to the law.

This has nothing to do with me.

His death breaks my heart,

but regardless of that, I know his corrupt deeds are...

still being investigated thoroughly.

Call Do Han for me.

What?

What did you say?

Call Do Han.

He wants to meet Prosecutor Jang.

All right.

I'll be there right now. Keep your eyes on him,

and make sure he doesn't change his mind. Bye.

Se Won, I'll be really quick.

Keep the door locked, and go to bed, okay?

Do you think...

I can live like a human being again?

You have...

your family.

You may have lived like garbage for Seung Ro.

But you're the head of your household...

and a father...

who would die for his family.

What is this?

Commissioner.

I request Detective Nam as the final witness...

of Candidate Yoon's hearing.

Ms. Lee.

Do you remember your promise?

What promise?

What I said about arresting you after all this?

Yes.

I think...

you can finally keep that promise.

Wait.

I got this from Prosecutor Kim.

Father, this is Prosecutor Kim.

I need to meet you immediately.

I have something for you.

This will be a decisive evidence at the hearing.

Pass it onto Prosecutor Jang.

I think I'm still being watched by the police.

I believe...

it'll be safer for you to have this instead of Prosecutor Jang or me.

May I ask you to do this...

not for me or Prosecutor Jang, but to arrest Seung Ro?

Chief Prosecutor Yoon ordered me...

to arrest Lee Shin Hyuk, an innocent man,

as a spy who violated the National Security Law.

In addition, they made me torture him to make a false confession.

How many years...

did Lee get at that time?

He received a life sentence during the 1st and 2nd trials,

and after he made an appeal, he received six years in prison.

Who testified that Lee Shin Hyuk was a spy?

It was Ms. Lee Eun Ja, who was a bookkeeper at his office.

Is this the same Lee Eun Ja...

as the housewife who went missing 10 years ago,

who was recently...

found dead?

Yes, that is correct.

She wanted to testify that she had witnessed against Lee...

because she was threatened.

But I abducted and murdered her.

(Detective Nam Appears to the Hearing as a Witness.)

Murdered?

Who ordered you to do all these?

It was Prosecutor Yoon Seung Ro, who was with...

the Public Security Department at the time.

Stop lying!

He is currently...

falsely testifying against me because he holds a grudge...

over the fact that I did not help him cover up his crimes.

Everything I said is true.

I recorded...

every conversation I had with Chief Prosecutor Yoon on my phone.

We got him.

Then...

you can disclose all of those recordings...

while the entire nation is watching.

What are you doing? Get me the recorded files.

They've been erased?

Then what about his phone?

Someone took it and then lost it.

Lost it?

Did Seung Ro really do it?

What's going on?

(Candidate Yoon Accused of Instigating Murder and Threats)

(Ms. Lee)

You have falsely accused and threatened him without any evidence.

And you announced that you were dead when you were well alive.

Do you two realize the gravity of the crime...

you are committing against the entire nation?

This is nothing but a show to deceive everyone!

It's not a show.

We have to wait and see.

What happened to the call history?

Good.

And I want you to bring some materials to the hearing.

This is a show!

(10 missed calls)

Yes, Ms. Lee.

Will it be okay for you to call me like this?

Where are you right now?

I'm on my way to the National Assembly.

I have that phone.

- What? - You have to delay the hearing.

It doesn't look like that's a possibility.

He even erased the files saved on the police's server.

Soo Ji.

Don't come anywhere near here.

You'll get arrested.

Don't come.

Kyung Soo, can you connect to Byung Jae's phone?

Of course.

What are you going to do?

There are many broadcast vans at the hearing, right?

All right, settle down. You all did very well today.

We will finish up Candidate Yoon Seung Ro's hearing...

as of now.

Yes, and I did everything you said.

I tortured someone and killed another.

I made it up to you.

Yes, and that's how I managed to keep my job.

But if this goes wrong, only I take the fall.

I need your help once again.

Prosecutor Jang stood in the way.

I need to find out who Do Han really is.

Find out everything about him.

That's what I ordered you to do.

- What about Soo Ji? - She wasn't there.

- Prosecutor Jang? - Yes.

Prosecutor Jang found out.

Prosecutor Jang was the one who stopped me from getting her.

You should have finished your work.

I have a way around this, so don't act rashly.

Just do whatever I tell you to do.

He will make a move soon.

Yes, sir.

(Call recorded)

Candidate Yoon Seung Ro.

You are under arrest for instigating murder and threats.

Let's go.

Byung Jae.

I have a favor.

Can you look after...

my kid and my wife?

And...

I'm sorry.

Ms. Lee.

Hey.

I told you not to come.

I told you that you'll keep your promise.

Chief Prosecutor Yoon is under investigation with the police.

Also, the Jo Yu Na case is under reinvestigation.

Si Wan will also have to comply with their summons.

Okay.

You will go to the police...

to be investigated after school.

Did something happen to Dad?

I'll tell you later.

Se Won.

I'll tell the police...

about Yu Na.

No matter what I say,

I know I can't be forgiven.

But I will make sure I plead for Yu Na...

and her family's forgiveness.

I can't believe...

anything you say.

I admit to the charges of...

everything I did.

Okay.

Admit to everything,

and pay the price.

Yoon Seung Ro and his son...

will do the same.

All that...

is now up to you.

I trust you.

Okay. Thanks for saying that.

I should've wrapped it up a year ago.

I'll do it properly this time.

Ms. Lee, Prosecutor Jang Do Han's here.

What for?

To be cross-examined with Soo Ji.

I'm the one who ordered she be abducted...

during the transport.

You hated her then. Why did you do that?

I wanted to use her yearning for revenge against Yoon Seung Ro.

So...

she didn't escape because she wanted to.

Is that true?

I didn't return to the station after the accident.

That was my choice.

Everything Soo Ji did until now...

was because of my orders.

It's true that you gave me information,

but it was my will to use that to go after Seung Ro.

I provoked her on.

If I hadn't,

she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

I...

manipulated and used Detective Jo.

Yu Na's death...

and what happened afterwards...

all came about because of my actions.

This is Lee Eun Ja's corpse that Nam Byung Jae disposed of.

We also have recordings of...

the phone calls you made regarding the cases.

Do you admit to instigating Lee Eun Ja's murder?

There's something kids like you don't know.

One woman's life doesn't count.

We can't do wrong.

We have no faults.

We cannot admit to any.

If we're found at fault,

the trust people have in us will fall.

We must prevent that at all costs.

The trust people have in us...

What about the innocent victims?

To Lee Shin Hyuk and Lee Eun Ja,

their deaths would be a disaster.

But within the big picture, it was an inevitable choice.

They just happened to be...

selected as the sacrificial lambs.

I held no personal grudges.

Where is he?

- No answer? - He won't pick up.

Do you think he's in shock about his dad?

He'd never skip class.

He must be in shock. His name came up during the hearing.

Do you think...

- he really did it? - Hey.

Not you too. Does it make sense?

Se Won.

I don't think I'll ever be forgiven for what I did.

This won't clear my name,

but I'll take the way out that Yu Na did.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

You were the only person to treat me...

sincerely and honestly.

Si Wan.

Si Wan.

Hey, is anyone there?

I'm locked in here!

Help! Help! Can someone help me?

Help.

Help!

Help! Can someone help me?

Help!
