Original subtitles

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

And please brief me

about the status report on the hit-and-run vehicle.

Okay.

Jung Hyeon-su is being transported to Seonho Hospital.

He's going to arrive shortly and get a surgery soon.

So?

Who was the informant?

Did I bring up a difficult subject?

What I'm asking is who tipped off

about the knife in Jung Hyeon-su's house with Mr. Bang's blood on it?

You wanted me to ride with you to ask this question.

Prosecutor Cha, answer me.

It was an anonymous informant.

Even if I knew who it was, I have to protect his or her identity.

You searched his house with a warrant that was issued

based on a tip-off by an anonymous informant?

Do you want me to believe that?

It doesn't matter if you do or not.

It's illegally obtained evidence. The fruit of the poisonous tree.

No, I searched his house with a properly issued warrant.

For me, this is legitimate evidence.

Cha Yu-jeong.

Whatever. I can't hear a word you are saying right now.

To get the warrant, I put my job on the line and searched his house.

But this is what has happened.

I'm in a tight spot now, Ji-uk.

I--

Yes?

What?

Okay. I'm on my way now.

I really saw it.

- Are you sure? - Hey, punk.

Do you think I only see hallucinations?

Mr. Bang.

Mr. Bang...

What is this?

You said he moved his finger.

That's what I wanted to say.

What did the doctor say?

Well, the doctor...

said that I might have been mistaken.

He really moved. Listen to me.

His finger--

Hey! It moved again! Look!

Look! It moved!

Hey, just wait a bit more. Okay?

His finger is going to move again. Keep looking. My goodness.

It really moved.

Mr. Byeon.

Take a seat.

You should get some sleep.

Goodness.

GUKIL MEDICAL CENTER

ARRAIGNMENT

No, no way. That can't be.

Pardon?

- What? - What did you say?

I didn't say anything.

If you are behind this, Eun-hyeok, I'm going to

put you in prison. I mean it.

Why? Did I do something wrong?

What?

Why? What is it about?

I always wondered when we would be friendly to each other again.

Is today the day?

Are we going to hold hands today?

How dare you.

We all know that all of us are not in a good mood.

But we must still smile. That's how good things will come to our way.

That's right.

Eun-hyeok, it's been a while since you said something that made sense.

He's right. We must stay positive for the good fortune to come

and that's how Mr. Bang will wake up as well.

- You think so too, right? - Of course.

Well, I agree with you guys on that.

I should tell you something about Jung Hyeon-su.

Did he do something again?

- Well, that's-- - Ji-uk.

Mr. Bang.

Mr. Bang, are you awake now?

Can you see me? It's me, Ji-uk.

Ji-uk.

Yes, that's right. It's me, Ji-uk.

Mr. Bang.

Mr. Bang, it's me, Eun-hyeok. Can you recognize me?

Of course, I can.

Eun-hyeok.

Hey.

Hey, what about me? Do you recognize me?

Mr. Bang, it's me!

- Yeong-hui. - That's me!

My name is Yeong-hui. I'm Yeong-hui.

My goodness. But how dare you speak to me informally? You jerk.

Gosh, I'm so happy that you're awake.

Good job. Good job for waking up.

My gosh. I'm so proud of you, Eun-ho.

My gosh, I can't believe this.

My goodness.

See? What did I tell you?

I told you so.

Wait here. I'll call the doctor.

Thank you. Thank you so much, Mr. Bang.

Thank you.

I'm so relieved.

My gosh, you startled me.

It's okay.

I'm so relieved.

Here's a breaking story.

The prosecution was pursuing a murder suspect this afternoon.

The suspect, Mr. Jung, was escaping with his motorcycle.

But he got hit by a hit-and-run vehicle and is now in a coma.

Mr. Jung got transferred to a hospital right after the accident,

and the police are currently trying to trace the hit-and-run vehicle.

Some people are criticizing if the prosecution carried out

a pressed investigation or unreasonable chase.

Is he...

unconscious?

How ironic.

Now that one person is okay, the other person falls into a coma.

If this happened during the arrest,

that means something was going on.

Does that mean they found evidence?

Well, I guess so.

What's going to happen to...

Jung Hyeon-su now?

He fell into a coma in the process of getting arrested.

Therefore, we have to wait until he wakes up.

If he's unconscious for a long time, there will be a stay of indictment--

I'm sure he'll wake up.

No. He must wake up no matter what.

Did you trace the hit-and-run vehicle?

Yes, we found the car.

But the driver has disappeared.

What did the doctor say?

I don't know. Head injury this,

internal bleeding in the abdomen that.

He said it might take some time for him to regain consciousness.

There's also a risk of brain damage.

Are you okay?

No.

I got chewed out by the chief and deputy.

Hey, if I end up losing my job as a prosecutor,

will you guys take me in?

I could go work at your firm.

Forget it. I won't go even if you beg me.

Prosecutor Cha, wait.

I have something for you.

Mr. Bang got this list

while he was looking into Go Chan-ho and Jung Hyeon-su.

We both think the guy who hit Jung Hyeon-su could be

on that list.

What do you mean?

That means

Jung Hyeon-su was planning to get revenge on one of those guys.

And when that person found out,

he could've hit Jung Hyeon-su with his car.

So are you saying that

he hit Jung Hyeon-su because he knew Jung Hyeon-su was after him?

Yes. The most suspicious person is on the top of the list.

I actually met him in person.

Okay. I'll look into these people.

I had...

so many questions to ask you,

and I was angry at you for so many things.

I was going to make sure that you'd get...

punished by law.

I'm sure it was Jung Hyeon-su,

but I wasn't able to see his face

because I failed to take off his mask.

I see.

Jung Hyeon-su's unconscious anyway.

He's practically got a stay of indictment.

So just focus on getting better.

It'd be better for you to testify

once Jung Hyeon-su wakes up.

Okay.

But...

why are they always here?

We're holding a meeting right now.

It's a small case, but I think it's very meaningful.

So I think we should take this case.

No way.

We'll make no money out of this.

Cases like this turn into a bigger lawsuit later on.

Be quiet.

You're the one who should be quiet.

Can you do something about this, Mr. Noh?

Just a few days ago,

you were calling him, "Ji-uk."

And Mr. Noh said, "Eun-ho."

Hey, you even called me, "Yeong-hui."

How dare you speak to me informally?

I want to get discharged.

No, Eun-ho. You can't.

No one's on my side.

Congratulations on getting discharged, Mr. Bang.

Thank you, Ms. Eun.

I sincerely congratulate you.

But I really look forward to leaving.

I'm sick of this place.

Me too. Let's go.

I'm so sick of here.

We're finally getting out!

You barely managed to live.

SEONHO DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Here's the next news.

The suspect who got into an accident and fell into a coma during the arrest

turned out to be the defendant accused of Chef Yang's murder

who was acquitted.

This sparks controversy on the possibility of a vindictive investigation.

The new government have already criticized the prosecution

for violating people's human rights.

This incident sure is embarrassing for the prosecution.

During the investigation process...

The press is having a field day.

Why did this have to happen at such a bad time

when everything has gotten out of hand?

Why did you

even think about risking your job?

You should never do something like that so thoughtlessly.

You can't gamble with your life.

Stop it already.

I might as well just sew your mouth.

I'm sorry, sir.

Unfortunately, similar cases have occurred continuously recently so--

You've stained the prosecution's reputation.

I'm sorry, sir.

But...

Call the correspondents.

Yes, sir.

- He's here. - Look, he's here.

- Over there. - Look.

Was this a vindictive investigation because Mr. Jung got acquitted?

Are you not catching Mr. Go on purpose, or have you failed to catch him?

Do you plan to punish the prosecutor who was in charge of the arrest?

People think you're only visiting the hospital for publicity.

What's your opinion?

Are you aware that the people wish to reform the prosecution?

Once the investigation on the prosecutor in charge is done,

we'll carry out a punishment.

But it is hard to tell what level of punishment it will be.

I still think Jung Hyeon-su

is the real culprit, sir.

Not only did he kill Chef Yang and Lee Jae-ho,

but he also killed--

Be quiet. Shut that mouth!

How incompetent do you have to be...

to humiliate me like this?

Don't ever...

stain the prosecution's reputation again.

Do you understand?

My gosh, I don't even remember the last time

I was able to come home feeling relaxed like this.

Same here. We also haven't had a relaxed conversation like this

in such a long time, right?

And talking and smiling like this, just the two of us.

That's right. Just the two of us...

Just the two of us.

I guess it is just the two of us here now.

Is there... I don't think anyone else is here.

Shall I make you something to eat?

No, I'll go take a shower first.

You'll take a shower?

All right, go ahead.

Okay.

Well... Do you want some beer?

Come here.

This is only our second day.

Our second day?

We should exclude the days Mr. Bang was bedridden

because we couldn't do anything.

You're right. We actually weren't able to do...

anything.

So come here.

Come here!

Here.

Look at all this foam.

Cheers!

You must have been so stressed out.

Yes, I have been very stressed out,

because of my girlfriend who keeps calling me Mr. Noh.

Then what should I do?

Am I supposed to change the way I address you overnight?

Yes.

Shall I give it a try?

Darling.

You almost cracked up.

No, I didn't.

Then should I keep doing it? Darling.

You cracked up. Goodness.

No, I was just teasing you.

I'll never do it again.

- I was teasing you. Come on. - Don't make me do it. I won't.

You're better at it than I am.

Say darling.

- No, you say it. - Darling.

I want you to call me like that. Just once.

- Just one time, please. - I don't want to.

- Do it for me. - I'll never say it.

You cracked up.

About Jung Hyeon-su's accident...

It's quite complicated.

Prosecutor Cha left with a warrant after getting an anonymous tip

and told me about it.

Then Jung Hyeon-su fled.

Shortly after that,

he got into an accident.

Then...

has the hit-and-run driver who hit him...

not been caught yet?

The vehicle was found, but no one was inside.

The car was rented with a fake ID, and the driver...

has taken to the hills.

I see.

- Are you sleepy? - No.

I'm fine.

I'm really okay.

I'm here.

Welcome back!

Congratulations on your first day back!

- Thank you. - We're so glad to have you back!

What are you guys doing right now? Who's going to clean up this mess?

I'll clean it up. I'll...

What was that about?

Goodness. You should clean it up, Mr. Noh.

Hey, you clean this up!

What's the matter with him?

Congratulations!

- Thank you! - Welcome back!

It is clearly a violation of the franchise law.

However, proving the losses caused by it won't be easy.

It will be very tricky indeed.

Soon, punitive damages will be introduced to the system as well.

If this happened in the US, the amount would have been huge.

Speaking of which, people there

always make sure to strictly punish companies in such cases.

I'll tell you what happened when I first went to the US.

My wife used to be very pretty.

Some blond jerks started hitting on her,

calling her a pretty girl or a cutie.

Gosh, here he goes again.

What? What did you just say?

Nothing. I didn't say anything.

I should put up with it. He's the father.

I'm not your father.

I didn't say you're my father. You have great hearing.

Get her out of here.

Gosh! It's a complete mess here!

It's a total mess!

Can we please have a proper meeting at least once?

- Excuse me. - Great! Just like him, okay?

Please go ahead, Mr. Bang.

It's actually not about work.

Something seems a bit off to me.

Shall I say something is missing?

As you know, I was in a coma.

Oh, that's right. Did you have an out-of-body experience?

I heard it happens to some people.

I heard some people go to the underworld and come back.

Gosh, are you serious?

Bong-hui.

I hope you end up in the fiery pit.

I didn't experience any of that.

But I think I had some dreams.

I remember a few of them.

Wake up already, will you?

If you wake up, I'll donate all of my assets.

No, let me correct that. I'll give them all to you.

You can have it all, okay?

I'll even change the name of our firm.

I'll take out my surname and include yours.

Noh, Ji, and Bang.

I remember it vividly.

I never said such a thing.

If you ever lose the ghost leg game,

I'll do it for you.

You can count on me every single time.

So please wake up, okay?

Mr. Bang.

Please wake up already.

Why did you have to end up like this after working so hard?

Please just wake up.

Then I'll hire an office manager as well as a secretary for you.

You can have your own secretary and driver.

I earn a lot of money, you know. I don't have anywhere to spend it.

What a fun, imaginative dream.

Oh, right. Mr. Bang's medication.

If I pass by a pharmacy, remind me to pick up Mr. Bang's medication.

SEARCHING

I've forgotten about it, but who could it have been?

The person who left the knife at Jung Hyeon-su's house.

Then...

the culprit must be one of them--

Culprit of what?

I've been reading...

a detective novel lately. I'm trying to figure out the culprit

in the novel.

My mom once told me

that the one who appears at the very moment is the culprit.

He's the culprit.

You two, get out of my way.

It's my turn to do the dishes.

You know that weapon which is the fabricated evidence?

I...

I decided not to use it after all.

But...

I don't know if I have made the right choice or not.

He's definitely the culprit.

He even admitted the crimes himself.

But I don't know if taking the high road, acting all righteous...

Is this okay? Am I doing the right thing?

You are supposed to teach me these things.

You are supposed to scold me when I do something wrong.

So please...

Please wake up soon.

As an officer of the law, I am ashamed.

But sometimes,

I ought to use my fists than the law.

Mr. Lee.

Yes.

You're suspected of starting a fire

at a house at 746, Haein-dong. In other words,

you're under investigation for attempted incendiarism.

You're aware of it, right?

Yes, I am.

I've already told the police everything.

Even if you did, you still need to tell me everything again.

I see.

Yes.

Then shall we begin?

I started a fire in Dobu-dong two years ago, and someone died.

But someone else got arrested as the culprit,

so I confessed everything to the police as I felt too guilty.

But you're saying I have to tell you again, right?

That's correct.

What did you just say?

We, at the prosecution,

cannot make any more mistakes.

What I'm saying is...

we can no longer betray the people's trust.

Do you understand?

How have you been, Mr. Kang?

Not bad, thanks to you.

Why are you thanking me? You're locked up here because of me.

I'd like to ask you to defend me for my appeal.

Well, you lost the first trial because of me.

Why would you want me?

You're the only one

I can count on.

I...

really can't stand being falsely accused like this.

I never started any fire.

So please

help me just this once.

Please?

Please...

Two years ago, Kang Seon-il

was arrested as the culprit of the Dobu-dong arson case.

The victim was...

this man.

His was Chae Seong-wu, who was sleeping at home.

He suffocated to death at the scene.

Kang Seon-il was sentenced to ten years in prison at his first trial.

What about motive?

The prosecution insisted that it's a revenge crime.

Kang Seon-il's daughter got hit by Chae Seong-wu's car and died.

Chae Seong-wu, who was drunk and didn't have a driver's license,

got released without any punishment due to diminished capacity.

Goodness.

From the forensics report alone,

I don't think it can be concluded that Kang Seon-il

is the arsonist.

I know, right?

The incompetent lawyer who lost that first trial

was me.

But the trial on appeal will take place soon.

He wants me to defend him once again.

But I've already lost once,

so I'm feeling unsure and not confident.

Help me.

Ji-uk, help me out.

Ms. Eun and Mr. Bang, please help me with this.

I don't want to.

Last time, you insisted on helping me when I asked you not to.

I only helped you because you begged me not to help you.

Okay. Then don't help me.

All right, I won't.

You should offer help if I tell you not to help me.

He doesn't seem so bright, does he?

No, not really.

He said his IQ is very high.

I'm not sure if it's true.

I really think Kang Seon-il is innocent. I'm serious.

With Jung Hyeon-su...

we thought the same.

And...

I'm sorry...

but I don't want to work on...

arson cases.

My apologies.

I totally forgot about that, Ji-uk. I'm sorry.

Ms. Eun, how about you take the lead on this one?

We'll give you the support you need.

Well, I'm not so comfortable with it either.

My dad

also passed away in fire.

But I'll think about it.

A mistake with the prosecution.

A fire.

And it's a revenge crime.

Revenge.

Can you recognize him?

This man

is the one who

killed your mom and dad.

Okay?

Did you sleep well?

Yes.

Come on.

Go take a shower and get dressed up.

- What? - We're going out on a date today.

A date?

You really wanted to come here?

Yes!

All right. I guess you are good at these games?

All right.

Getting a stuffed doll out of the claw machine isn't so easy.

People don't think it'd be hard because the stuffed dolls are cute.

They will be in trouble then.

You have to be circumspect. Look at this.

Do it just like this. All right.

Here I go.

- Can I give it a try? - Sure.

Give it a shot.

Mr. Noh?

Bong-hui, do you want to try this?

- Shall we? - Okay.

Here we go.

It's beside you. No, no.

No, I'm in trouble.

Hold on.

No, no.

Oh, no. What do I do?

Mr. Noh, hold on.

Wait.

There you go.

You fool.

Darn. It's ruined.

Gosh, I won.

Mr. Noh? Mr. Noh!

How can you get upset because of those games?

No, I'm not upset. I'm not upset at all.

Mr. Noh.

It's not that you are bad, honey. I'm just that good.

You were really good though.

I'll let you win next time.

No, that's okay. Don't ever let me win.

The next time we play will be the game that counts.

This is nothing to get serious about,

but I'm in.

Bring it on. Okay!

Hold on.

BUY MEDICATION FOR MR. BANG

That's right, Mr. Bang's medicine.

Let me go to a pharmacy for a second.

Okay.

Goodness, son!

- What's this? - Ji-uk!

Mom.

Mom, why are you here?

Mr. Byeon insisted on having dinner today.

He said there's a good sundaeguk place around this area.

Really?

Why are you here, Ji-uk?

Well, I...

This is perfect. Let's have dinner together.

Come on. Join us and let's have a meal today.

Mom, the truth is I have...

someone with me.

You do? Who is it?

Well...

Is it your girlfriend?

Yes.

Goodness.

What's wrong, Mom? You are not happy about that?

- No, I am happy. - Hold on.

I'm happy to hear that.

What's going on? What is this?

He called her Mom.

Mom?

Is she your daughter?

I didn't know anyone could become a lawyer these days.

Mom. Recently, there was a verdict that workplace harassment

can be considered an industrial accident as well.

Just keep that in mind.

Mom, why do I get the feeling your boss is always eavesdropping on us?

Or is it just me?

It's because her life is boring.

Yeong-sun!

Goodness.

What do I do?

You got a girlfriend, Ji-uk.

Wait a second, Mom.

Okay.

Why?

I can't.

Gosh.

Bong-hui, hold on. Bong-hui!

- Bong-hui, wait! - Ji-uk!

Ji-uk!

Gosh.

What is it?

Why is she running away?

Exactly. Why is she running away?

I'm doomed.

I'm completely doomed.

Gosh.

You brought us kimchi and side dishes on this hot day.

Thank you so much.

I'm sorry I didn't get to visit earlier when you took in my daughter.

Anyway, we will enjoy the kimchi and pizza, Ms. Park.

Goodness, you didn't have to address me like that.

I didn't know that

you had a bright halo around your head.

Excuse me?

Sure, it's shining.

Thank you for your compliment.

It's bright.

Thank you for the pizza.

Gosh, you are so loud.

Don't laugh so loudly. You should go home.

Say hello.

Who is she?

You are the prosecutor who saved Bong-hui, right?

Are you Bong-hui's--

I'm Bong-hui's mom.

Goodness.

There's another one around his head too.

Who is it between you two?

I haven't formally introduced myself. I am Noh Ji-uk.

Hello.

Yeong-sun?

Ms. Hong.

The CEO your daughter talked about is...

my son?

No way. Is he your son?

Ji-uk, you are not dating her daughter,

right?

I think it's a bit rude to say that.

Ms. Hong.

What is it, Yeong-sun?

Since we are about the same age,

I'd appreciate if you'd show me some respect like I do.

Pardon?

We should leave them to handle their own businesses.

We should go out and talk.

Goodness, how can a mother with a daughter be so confident?

You're so old-fashioned. Are you bragging because you have a son?

She's lame.

So what?

What are you going to do if I don't approve of their relationship?

Mom, that was out of line.

I don't approve either.

Sure. Go ahead and don't give your blessing.

What's wrong with my daughter?

Having you as her mother!

I'm scared of her.

Ms. Eun.

Bong-hui!

Mom.

We're dating.

Ji-uk!

Act surprised.

- My gosh! - My goodness!

Smile, Bong-hui.

SEONGBUK-DONG ASSAULT INCIDENT

Sir.

It really wasn't me.

I drove my taxi during the day.

It was the driver on the night shift who fought with the customer.

Please check the work history.

Sir.

I've never once hit anyone in my life.

I've never even gotten into an argument before.

The victim already stated that

you're the assaulter.

He said he can't remember anything because he was drunk.

He's mistaking me with another driver.

Then get your indictment suspended.

Because of this incident, I got fired from the taxi company.

I can't even do any physical labor...

because I'm always busy coming to court.

I barely make a proper living right now.

So please...

save me and my family.

Sir.

Sir!

Sir!

I wasn't wrong.

SEONGBUK-DONG ASSAULT INCIDENT

Dad, I got on the bad side of...

my boyfriend's parents.

My gosh, what should I do?

First, let's do the laundry.

Bong-hui, please take this.

Mr. Noh?

Yes?

Are you going somewhere?

What's that?

It's my laundry.

I feel uncomfortable to dry it here,

so I'm going to go to a laundromat.

I'll be...

Let's go.

Don't worry too much about...

my mom and Mr. Byeon.

How can I not worry?

They'll both give in.

I also...

never lose to neither of them. That's the problem.

Yes, you're right.

Let's go meet your dad next time.

But...

when are you going to give it to me?

What?

That thing you've been hesitating all day to give me.

Jeez.

Here?

Yes. Here.

What do you think? Do you like it?

It's pretty.

Would you like to try it on?

It's pretty.

- Is it pretty? - Yes.

Thank you.

It was definitely you, Jung Hyeon-su.

I think it still hurts.

To be honest,

I think it'd be better if you never wake up.

Yes.

It's the final trial soon. I'll tell you as soon as I get the results.

Yes.

Okay.

Ji-hae, I'm drunk, but I can still see the sun.

I can't believe you're drunk in the middle of the day.

Yes, okay. Bye.

Ji-hae.

I need to go to the restroom.

Go ahead. It's over there.

You're going to wait for me, right?

Let's go for another round.

Another round? No way.

They say you can't recognize your parents once you get drunk during daylight.

I can't believe I'm spending my precious weekend like this.

Are you okay?

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Ji.

You must've had some drinks.

Yes. A little.

You shouldn't have drunk too much.

- Sorry? - It's bad for your health.

Around 50 percent of Koreans can't decompose acetaldehyde.

That means their body is incapable of breaking down alcohol.

Oh, I see.

I guess I should've minded my own business. I'm sorry.

Well, okay.

By the way,

may I have your number?

Sorry?

Actually, never mind.

This is my business card.

Please call me if anything happens.

Okay, I will.

Bye, then.

I feel better now.

- Let's drink. - Let's go.

- Ji-hae. - What was that?

Ji-hae.

Come on. Let's go.

Good night.

Good night.
