01x13 - Skeleton Identified

[bunniefuu]

(THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, INCIDENTS,

AND ORGANIZATIONS PORTRAYED

IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS.

I

did something wrong.

The savings bank corruption scandal

15 years ago.

The investigation was led by Choi Tae Guk.

The person who introduced

the ill*gal loan broker to

the CEO of the savings bank.

That was me.

The broker paid me in return.

When the investigation began,

I went to see Choi Tae Guk

and got down on my knees.

I begged him for help.

I begged him on my knees

like a pathetic loser.

Don't tell me that was the reason

you did nothing when you knew

they should be investigated as suspects.

For all those years,

you kept your silence as if you were dead?

I needed money.

I wanted to buy a house

so Eun Seo and her mother

could live there together.

Now, you're telling me all this

and listing ridiculous excuses.

And what? We should catch them together?

Someone was already framed for it once.

You think we can catch them

when there's no evidence?

Help me.

You're on your knees again?

You are pathetic.

Clearly, you can do this

whenever you need to.

The next time you kneel down,

who will it be for?

Catching those scumbags

is all I care about.

I'll get down on my knees

a hundred times

if we can catch those jerks.

Han Dong O, Lee Si Hyuk,

and Choi Ju Wan.

We must get them.

Together, we can catch them!

Soo Jae!

That's why I bought that house.

That day, they must have

left some traces behind.

I will find it, no matter what.

Traces.

- That part-timer was

- Are you okay?

- Kim Dong Gu's younger sister.

- Can I borrow your cell phone?

She was Jeon Na Jung.

My cell phone? Okay.

Wait here.

Hey! Where is this wench?

Han Dong O, Lee Si Hyuk, Choi Ju Wan.

They kidnapped Eun Seo,

but she ended up in an accident.

And Jeon Na Jung witnessed everything.

So they couldn't just let her go.

Who's that girl? She saw everything.

Hey, get her!

Knowing their fathers

Especially Choi Tae Guk,

who was a chief prosecutor back then,

wouldn't have had any problem framing

Kim Dong Gu for the crime his son

and his son's friends committed.

Wait for me there.

I'll follow you as soon as

I wrap things up here.

I can't believe I fell for such a scumbag.

WHY HER?

Season 01 Episode 13

CHOI YOON SANG

Soo Jae, I need to talk to you.

It's about Chan.

Pick up.

Yoon Sang, what are you doing?

Kim Dong Gu.

You deceived Soo Jae.

And Soo Jae gave up on you.

CHOI YOON SANG

Soo Jae

gave up on you.

You still don't see it?

SOO JAE

Soo Jae gave up on you during that trial!

Because it was a complete defeat for her,

she was able to join TK Law Firm

and work under my father.

What?

What are you talking about?

What is this about?

Tell me everything you know.

Her mother and brothers

were arrested at that time.

And she was offered a deal.

Through her mentor, Director Baek,

she was told not to waste her effort

on Kim Dong Gu's trial.

Then her family would be released.

Don't give me this nonsense

unless you can be responsible for it.

This is why

you and Soo Jae can't work out.

You deceived Soo Jae.

And she gave up on you.

I don't care.

I don't care.

If she had to give up on me

to save her family,

she made the right decision.

She should have done that

because I would've done the same.

Stop lying to yourself.

Do you think using that logic

to justify her decision

would make everything go away?

You think I'm lying?

The whole world deemed me the culprit.

And even my own father didn't believe me.

Do you know how miserable

that makes you feel?

Professor Oh was the

only person who believed me

when I was in misery.

You probably don't know that feeling.

Hearing how someone believed me

helped me breathe and keep living.

You can't even imagine that.

You got framed because

you let people walk all over you.

People use you because

you let people walk all over you!

So what?

Someone believed me.

That's all I need.

I don't care if she gave up on me

at the trial.

You're crazy.

OH SOO JAE, ARGUED FOR

MY INNOCENCE, BUT LOS

A LAWYER AT TK LAW FIRM

THE ONE WHO BELIEVED ME TO THE END

You don't care?

You don't care, no matter

what anybody does to you?

What about now? You still don't care?

SOO JAE

What did you do? What did you

just do to Professor Oh?

Even now, you're worried about her?

I told you that she had betrayed you.

This

really irks me.

WE'RE CLOSED. THANK YOU.

To tell you the truth,

I wondered if Professor Oh

lost the trial

because she gave up.

What? When?

During the trial?

No, I had too much on my mind back then.

When I was preparing for law school,

I suddenly became curious and

wanted to check my court records.

So you checked?

Did you find anything strange?

The witnesses she brought in

were discredited.

I tried to remember

what happened at the trial.

And I think

she could tell at some point

that she'd lose

no matter what.

She knew she'd lose the trial.

So she did stab you in the back.

She ditched you.

If you're going to sit here and

upset Chan, just go upstairs.

Hey, my blood is boiling right now.

I mean, are you okay with this?

You must be angry too.

Hey! You little

My life is

so pathetic, Jun Hee.

It's not your fault.

You did nothing wrong,

so don't think like that.

No, it is my fault.

My decision

put Kim Dong Gu in pure torment.

And my choice

made me end up in the gutter.

Yet I had no idea.

I thought it'd lead me to a good place.

I'm so humiliated.

I sorely regret my decision.

I'm really embarrassed.

Gosh.

Hey, Chan.

You said Professor Oh heard

your entire conversation

with Yoon Sang earlier.

Even if you tell her

that it doesn't matter,

she won't be able to face you.

Of course not. How could she?

If I were her, I'd run away.

I wouldn't want to run into you ever again.

Everyone makes mistakes.

But once you get to know the person

Kim Dong Gu? What a mess.

But I believe you.

Since I know that she's a good person,

learning about her past mistakes

won't change how I feel about her.

I already know what she's like.

Of course, I won't change my mind easily.

That's how it is with us too, you know.

Even if we have wronged

each other, it's okay.

It's okay, indeed.

A little mistake is no big deal.

That's true. It doesn't matter.

You didn't have to walk me out.

My goodness. You're smiling now?

Everyone has regrets.

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

You know there are jerks

who should really be embarrassed.

Make them experience the

kind of humiliation they deserve.

Make them pay for what they did,

no matter what.

That's what Oh Soo Jae would do, you know?

That's what my friend, Oh Soo Jae, will do.

Oh, gosh.

Professor Oh, you were right.

Mr. Ha's movements certainly

overlap with yours.

I managed to obtain some security footage.

I'll send it to you now.

He stood outside and listened

to your entire lecture.

When your students came out,

he hid in the back.

When he left the law school,

he went straight to TK.

And since then, nothing suspicious yet.

Please continue to keep

a close watch on him.

GONG CHAN

What's up, at this hour?

Let's just call it even.

I didn't tell you that I was Kim Dong Gu.

I wronged you too,

so let's call it even.

What?

I know Yoon Sang made you listen

to our conversation last night.

You can't just let it go like that.

What I did to you was

Just leave.

I don't care!

I know what kind of person

you are. So I don't care.

PROFESSOR OH SOO JAE

You can come in.

Let's talk inside.

I betrayed you.

You hid from me that you were

Kim Dong Gu, but that's nothing.

What I did to you was

Director Baek told me everything.

I know who the real suspects are

and who orchestrated everything.

Let's get them together.

The scumbags who destroyed my life

and turned your life upside down.

Let's catch them together.

You should leave.

JEON NA JUNG'S CLOTHES! THAT NIGHT!

SUICIDE?

SOMEONE DELIBERATELY FRAMED KIM DONG GU.

CHOI TAE GUK, SEO JUN MYEONG

WHY DID TK HIRE ME

AFTER I LOST DONG GU'S TRIAL?

DISCREDITED ALL EVIDENCE AND WITNESSES

CHAIRMAN HAN'S HOUSE

IN SAMJUNG-DONG? TRACES?

I just scribbled some

What is this?

What is all this?

I heard Na Jung helped

Director Baek's daughter

that night.

What is his daughter's name?

Kang Eun Seo.

YOON SE PIL

They have different surnames,

but she is his daughter.

Kang Eun Seo got into

a car accident that night.

She was brought into the hospital

where Jun Hee worked as a resident,

wearing a convenience store uniform

with a name tag that said "Jeon Na Jung".

Jun Hee said it looked like

something else

had happened to Kang Eun Seo

before the car accident occurred.

Then that was also

CHOI JU WAN, HAN DONG O, LEE SI HYUK

These scumbags

They did that to my sister, Na Jung.

JEON NA JUNG, SEPTEMBER 4, 2012

She was a good girl.

But I was never good to her.

I'm

sorry.

Whenever I thought of you,

I felt so guilty.

But I tried to ignore it.

I thought that was the right thing to do

because I was afraid

I'd regret my decision.

I'm

so

sorry.

Director Baek, I have a favour to ask.

I brought you all the info

I've gathered on the incident.

Are we

on the same side now?

Not possible. We share

the same goal, but that's it.

Let Director Baek know

that he'll have to pay for

being such a coward in the past.

That's my condition.

UNGJU STEPSISTER m*rder CASE

Are you serious? The prime suspects

were these three I mean,

these three scumbags?

We must find solid evidence,

although it won't be easy

as a lot of time has passed.

We must find it.

One more thing.

The three of them aren't capable enough

to handle anything on their own.

They were probably

less capable ten years ago.

And such people want to become

the chairmen of a law firm

and the chairmen of a conglomerate

and the president of this country.

And they messed up

an innocent man's life

and yours as well.

Are you all right?

No.

LEE IN SOO WILL MAKE

OUR COUNTRY FAIR AND NEW.

Yes. His approval ratings went up

by seven percent over the weekend.

I have five interviews scheduled today.

That's amazing!

You're wearing a nice outfit, right?

Go to a hair salon. Get your hair done too.

I already did, of course.

How are things with you?

Is everything good in Yeongpyeong District?

Did the problem with

the skeleton get sorted out?

I just came back from the scene.

Everything is going perfectly.

We're trying to identify the skeleton.

The victim's family will probably show up.

I have nothing to worry about.

Oh, right.

When will Director Baek Jin Ki

resign from the university?

Today is his last day.

He can just quietly resign on his last day.

But he's doing some kind of event today.

WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT,

CONFINEMENT CHARGE ON THE PROSECUTOR

who abused authority

and framed the defendant

VICTIM, KIM

- You're the victim.

- You're the detective.

Nice. Great.

The victim, Kim, suspected

his wife to be unfaithful

and was arrested for murdering

his wife with a hammer.

The prosecutor in charge of the case, Han,

questioned the victim.

And Kim was sentenced to

a death penalty in court

because all the evidence

pointed Kim as the culprit.

Kim was wrongfully imprisoned.

But three years later,

Choi who was serving time

for aggravated robbery

confessed to the crime,

and Kim was acquitted of his crime.

And Kim sued Prosecutor Han

who framed him as the culprit.

Defendant.

How do you feel about Kim

who was wrongfully imprisoned?

You'll think of the victim,

Kim, as yourself.

That's why you asked me that question.

That's right.

You're just like Prosecutor Seo

who framed me as the culprit.

It's unfortunate what happened to him.

Do you want to apologize to him?

Not at all.

The survey confirmed that

Candidate Lee's approval ratings

from the voters in their 20s and 30s

increased over eight percent.

His innovative housing policy

which will target to benefit

- the younger generation

- Policies for young people

As the hearing is around the corner,

Director Baek Jin Ki, the nominee

of the Minister of Justice position,

will officially resign as the director

of Seojung University Law School.

As soon as Nominee Baek

resigns from

Seojung University Law School

- Sir.

- Yes?

I got a call from

Chief Legal Officer Han Gi Taek.

RECORDING, HAN GI TAEK

The promise he made me

before putting me here

hasn't been fulfilled at all.

I'm not doing volunteer work here.

If he keeps this up,

I don't know how much longer

I can stay quiet.

Okay?

And do you think you

won't be affected by this?

I could start talking at any minute.

Relay this message to him. Got it?

Gosh. That money-grubber.

Tell him to wait quietly.

He's going to get his money

when time is right.

Yes, sir.

The victim's investigation and custody

were carried out by

legally sound processes.

I would like to ask the witness

who was considered the suspect.

During the questioning,

was the prosecutor violent to you

or did he coerce you to make a confession?

No.

During the trial,

did you feel that you were

getting unfair treatment?

No one listened to my claim

that I was innocent.

No one believed me.

No one believed me.

Of course. You kept

changing your statement.

You recanted your testimony.

Your recanted testimony

drove you into the swamp.

But Professor Oh believed me.

Right after the incident,

the victim was shocked from seeing his wife

who was brutally m*rder*d.

So he was mentally unfit.

He was arrested when he was mentally unfit.

So the victim's mental state

became more unstable.

He suffered from visual and

auditory hallucinations.

So he made a false confession

that he k*lled his wife.

Your Honour.

The victim's mental state was examined

as per the victim's request.

But the medical expert

cleared him as mentally sound.

JUDGE

STUDENT MOCK TRIAL

JUDGE

It looks like we're

interrupting your trial.

I apologize, Your Honour.

Gosh, no. It's all right, sir.

I thought about my parting gift to you.

And then inviting Mr. Choi Tae Guk,

the chairman of the law firm,

the number one law firm

you want to join, crossed my mind.

So I made a last-minute request,

but he accepted my request.

Thank you for your warm welcome

to this uninvited guest.

Then I think it's more fitting

for Chairman Choi to take my seat.

- Nice.

- What do you think?

- Sounds good!

- Yes!

JUDGE

Prosecution.

You may question the witness.

Witness, when you were

investigating the case,

you found the victim's car.

What did you do then?

When a wife is m*rder*d,

the first suspect is the husband.

I deemed it as a vehicle of the suspect,

so I searched it.

I found a hammer in the trunk.

As you know, the deceased victim's blood

and her husband's DNA

were found on the hammer.

That was enough to close the case.

It was the perfect evidence.

Witness, it wasn't perfect.

That's why you're here.

Do you still believe that?

It was the perfect evidence

during the investigation.

He's the defendant now.

But the then-prosecutor trusted

the result of our investigation.

Judge

COURT IN SESSION

According to the analysis report

from the NFS,

the hammer contained

the deceased victim, Sim's blood,

the victim, Kim's fingerprints and DNA,

and unidentified fingerprints.

The defendant, the then-prosecutor,

probably knew this fact.

But to frame the victim as the culprit,

he didn't even check to whom

the fingerprints belonged

and excluded the fingerprints

from the investigation.

That's not true, Your Honour.

It was revealed that

the unidentified fingerprints

belonged to the cop who found

the hammer at the scene.

So there was no need to

look into the fingerprints.

Objection, Your Honour.

There were more than one

unidentified fingerprint.

Go ahead.

There was one more

unidentified fingerprint

other than the police officer's.

The fingerprint should

have been identified.

But the prosecutor omitted it.

So the innocent man, Kim,

served miserable three years

in that cold prison cell.

You guys covered up

the unidentified fingerprint

from the knife.

Defendant.

Why did you omit the unidentified

fingerprint from the investigation?

Because it wasn't important.

The victim confessed to the crime

during the questioning.

And the hammer had

the victim's fingerprint.

Therefore, I requested an

arrest warrant for the victim

and demanded a death penalty in court.

I followed the law to

proceed with the trial.

How was it that the unidentified

fingerprint wasn't important?

As a prosecutor,

you must identify all the fingerprints

found on the weapon.

Did you not omit this important step

to frame the victim as the culprit?

That's slandering.

I didn't do such a thing.

You should have identified to

whom the fingerprint belonged.

Why did you omit that?

Because it wasn't important

once the victim confessed!

Why are you making us repeat ourselves?

That's not what's happening here.

Quiet.

WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT,

CONFINEMENT CHARGE ON THE PROSECUTOR

WHO ABUSED AUTHORITY

AND FRAMED THE DEFENDAN

All right. What's your

argument, Prosecution?

JUDGE

What was improper about

the investigation and the trial?

The investigation wasn't proper.

In what ways was it not proper?

The defendant fabricated

an investigation report

to make it look like only

the victim's fingerprint

was found on the m*rder weapon.

He also wrote a false report that

the police officer's fingerprint

was found on the weapon.

He abused his authority

and imprisoned the victim.

This is a violation of Article 124.1

of the Criminal Code.

Abuse of authority and confinement charge.

Defendant.

Is it true that you fabricated

the investigation reports and statements?

No.

The police officer accidentally

touched the m*rder weapon

and was worried that I might

find his fingerprint on it.

And I was worried that

might become a problem,

so I received a statement from him

to remove possible problems.

That's why when unidentified

fingerprints were found,

he thought they belonged

to the police officer

and didn't dig deeper.

He didn't cover it up or tried to hide it.

Not digging deeper is the problem!

I don't understand

why you're arguing that it was a problem.

The m*rder weapon, the hammer,

was found in the vehicle of

the suspect who confessed.

And the suspect's fingerprint was found.

That was enough evidence to

confirm his confession

and prove that he was guilty of the crime.

Don't you all agree?

What more would you need to see?

If you have obtained sufficient evidence,

the number of other

fingerprints that were found

doesn't matter, and you wouldn't

even need to look into it.

JUDGE

I'll announce my ruling.

In conclusion, the suspect was innocent.

The real culprit was someone else.

However, this was revealed

through the culprit's confession.

There's no evidence that

indicates the defendant

abused his authority and

arrested the suspect,

knowing he was innocent.

PROSECUTION

The law holds that it is better to

have ten guilty persons escape

than to have one innocent person suffer.

That is the principle the

Criminal Procedure Act was built upon.

Even if the suspect was

initially found guilty

but was exonerated later on

as in this case,

we cannot hold the

prosecution accountable

and accuse them of abuse of authority

when there is no sufficient evidence

for it will discourage the

law enforcement agencies

from fully executing

their rights and duties.

Then, when they're not 100 percent sure,

they'll be hesitant to

apprehend or charge suspects.

And in the long term,

it will lead to social unrest

and cause more chaos.

Most importantly, it seems that

the defendant did his best

while investigating the case.

And I understand

why he decided not to investigate

the unidentified fingerprints

found on the m*rder weapon.

In addition, there is no evidence

that the defendant

deliberately tried to arrest the suspect,

knowing that he was innocent.

Ergo,

the court finds the defendant not guilty.

DEFENCE COUNSEL, DEFENDAN

PROSECUTION

All right. Let's thank

the presiding judge of the day,

Mr. Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm,

with a big round of applause.

WRONGFUL IMPRISONMENT,

CONFINEMENT CHARGE ON THE PROSECUTOR

WHO ABUSED AUTHORITY

AND FRAMED THE DEFENDAN

Don't worry about

your confirmation hearing.

I'm counting on you, Chairman Choi.

Thanks to you, I learned a lot

and had a great time today.

You learned a lot?

The trial is over.

The case from ten years ago.

The Ungju Stepsister m*rder,

also known as the Kim Dong Gu case.

Mr. Choi Tae Guk,

you were the chief prosecutor

of the prosecutors' office

that handled the case.

I have a question for you.

It was similar to the case

we discussed at the mock trial.

Don't you already know

what my answer will be?

From what I remember,

Kim Dong Gu confessed to the crime,

and there was nothing wrong

with the investigation

and the trial as well.

How did No Byung Chul

end up becoming the culprit?

Who made him the culprit?

And why did he die?

Why, just before his

early release on parole?

Why are you asking me?

You're barking up the wrong tree.

Someone framed Kim Dong Gu.

And as if that wasn't enough,

No Byung Chul was also framed.

Was it Prosecutor Seo Jun Myeong?

Or

is there someone else behind him?

Kim Dong Gu.

You see, if you were Kim Dong Gu

Ten years have passed,

and No Byung Chul's guilt

drove him to suicide.

So now,

what would you do if you were Kim Dong Gu?

I think he will find the culprit.

The person who framed Kim Dong Gu.

The real culprit who

framed No Byung Chul

and got him k*lled.

He will be sure to find the real culprit.

You think Kim Dong Gu would do that?

How foolish. That's such a shame.

Foolishness always leads to tragedy.

If you ever meet Kim Dong Gu,

make sure to tell him.

If you happen to know

who the culprit is, let him know

that he will pay for messing

with other people's lives.

That brazen brat. How dare he stop my car?

My apologies, sir.

This time, I'll take care of him

without a single mistake.

Leave him be. Let's see

how cheeky he can get.

It'll be fun to watch.

If that punk acts up, so will Soo Jae.

If I trample all over Soo Jae,

he'll lose that enthusiasm.

It'll be entertaining to watch

how it all unfolds.

DIRECTOR BAEK JIN KI

Come in.

Choi Yoon Sang.

You did a great job today.

Chairman Choi was very

satisfied with your argument.

Why did you organize such an event?

With such designated roles.

I have a favour to ask.

Chairman Choi Tae Guk.

I'd like to meet him.

Oh, that. I wanted to organize

a mock trial as my parting gift,

instead of a useless resignation ceremony.

Exactly.

Why did you pick a case like that

and such roles for me and Chan?

Is that what you're curious about?

Do you have an idea as to

why I did such a thing?

You really take after Chairman Choi.

But you're also quite different from him.

Because of that, I always felt bad for you.

You won't choose the easy way

even though it's right before you.

And you'll always be lonely.

I'm not quite following, sir.

When I heard you decided to

leave the Legal Clinic Center

to go intern at TK,

I was a little worried about you.

I wondered, "Why is he doing this?"

"Does he have a hidden agenda?"

Of course, I had to make that choice

as Chairman Choi Tae Guk's son.

I hope it helps you find

the answer you're looking for.

Darn it. I wanted to wear

the prosecutor's robe too.

My gosh. Kang Ja, you look so charismatic.

You too. Everyone would think

you're a real lawyer.

What's going on here? What's wrong?

Don't tell me

you're upset over the mock trial.

Yes, I am.

Hey, I'm really upset because I lost.

At least you won.

I know I won the trial,

but I don't agree with the decision.

How could he be not guilty?

The victim was wrongfully

imprisoned for three years.

How could the prosecutor who put him

behind bars be deemed not guilty?

Fine. If everyone in such a case

gets a guilty verdict,

it will discourage the

law enforcement agencies.

"Then when they're not 100 percent sure,"

"they'll be hesitant to

apprehend or charge suspects."

"And in the long term,

it will lead to social unrest"

"And cause more chaos"!

That is all true,

but the prosecutor should at least

be fined, don't you think?

Yes, exactly!

My, what a beautiful sight.

Who knew the prosecutor

and the defence counsel

could be in complete agreement like this?

We're meeting on the second floor of

Professor Oh's building in an hour.

- Professor Oh's building?

- All of a sudden?

What's going on?

Excuse me. My gosh.

Maybe we should've brought

a gift or something.

I know. We came empty-handed.

Well, Professor Oh is rich.

My gosh, her place is so nice.

This is Chan's handwriting.

You wrote this, right?

- Yes.

- This is Professor Oh's writing.

It looks like Professor Oh

added things to Chan's notes.

What is this, Chan?

- I have a favour to ask of you.

- What is it?

I'm officially reaching out to

the Legal Clinic Center for help.

I want to catch the real

culprit in Na Jung's case.

Let's catch the culprit.

Let's do this, guys.

- Okay.

- I'm in too!

Everyone is here.

- Hello.

- Oh, you're here.

WHAT KIND OF DEAL WAS

HAN GI TAEK OFFERED?

It is important to uncover the truth

and catch the culprit,

but you should be

very careful at all times.

Don't get hurt in whatever circumstances.

CHOI JU WAN, CHOI TAE GUK

When will the sell-off be finalized?

We will draw up the final agreement

by the end of this week.

How's Soo Jae doing?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

Is something going on between you and her?

What about Seung Yeon?

She's at my in-laws' house in

Ulsan with Jae Yi for a few days.

Your in-laws?

They aren't my in-laws anymore.

She wanted to visit them one last time

before going to the US.

I should let her do that.

Keep checking up on her.

Okay.

Well, Father.

Do you know

who bought Chairman Han's

house in Samjung-dong?

According to Dong O,

an American corporation bought it.

Why are you worried about that?

Father, that house doesn't worry you?

Why would it?

Why are you worried?

Sir.

You need to watch this.

It's been confirmed that

the skeleton found

at the construction site

in Yeongpyeong District

belonged to the victim, Jeon,

of the step sibling m*rder case

in Ungju ten years ago.

Back then, her stepbrother, Kim,

was arrested as the culprit.

Not being able to find the body

broke everyone's heart.

However, when Kim was imprisoned,

No who was arrested and

questioned for another crime,

turned out to be the culprit.

And this discovery

shocked the country again.

Father.

I thought you took care of this, Mr. Ha.

I'm sorry.

So you knew.

You knew it the moment

you saw the skeleton, right?

Because you dumped her there.

That's why

my father yelled at you.

Because you failed to take care of that.

You failed to do one job!

You punk!

The skeleton that was found

at the scene of collapse

in Yeongpyeong District

was found along with a sack.

Right after the skeleton was found,

the police believed it to be

connected to a violent crime.

And they were trying to

identify the skeleton.

And No who was serving time

as the real culprit

committed suicide right before

his release on parole.

Some people speculated that

there was a reason behind it.

Then are you implying that

No's death has something

to do with the skeleton?

That's right.

If you look at the time of No's death,

it was right after the skeleton was found.

When he heard that the skeleton was found,

it must have affected his mental state.

And that could have pushed him

to end his life based on the time line.

REALLY? S UNIVERSITY?

HE MUST HAVE BEEN REALLY SMART.

HE EVEN RUNS A RESTAURAN

IN FRONT OF THE UNIVERSITY.

WHY DID THE REAL CULPRIT DIE?

I think people will find out fast

Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

That's the point.

What? Shouldn't you keep this

under wraps? Not expose him?

That way, he'll be safe.

HAN SUNG BUM

CHOI TAE GUK

The one who coordinated everything

will be following Gong Chan's moves now.

When it's announced that

the skeleton is Jeon Na Jung,

make people find out

Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

Make it look like people

found out on their own.

If the whole country knows,

and Chan is in the limelight,

he won't be able to hurt Chan.

"JEON NA JUNG'S MOTHER

VOLUNTARILY PROVIDES HER DNA"

But seeing how the real culprit

died out of the blue,

there might be something else.

Is it possible that the real culprit

isn't the real culprit?

If Kim Dong Gu and No Byung Chul

aren't the culprits,

who is the culprit then?

Maybe, there's someone

who's utterly scared

while watching the news.

Suffer in a pit of fire.

If you lived ten years

without paying for your crime,

you deserve to be in a pit of fire.

I thought No Byung Chul

paid the price for it.

Maybe, not.

Unimaginable things

take place in our world.

No way. Then does it mean

someone got Kim Dong Gu

and No Byung Chul locked up?

And did that someone k*ll No too?

Oh, hello.

Ma'am, this way.

My daughter.

Thank you.

My daughter.

Thank you so much

for

coming back to me.

"SKELETON IN YEONGPYEONG DISTRIC

GETS IDENTIFIED"

Who cares if it's Jeon Na Jung's skeleton?

No Byung Chul is dead anyway.

Isn't he, Chief Kang?

I heard that the mother stopped by

the station while I was away.

I should have taken care of this.

I'm sorry, sir.

You're going about this all wrong.

You shouldn't be calling me.

You must talk to the press.

Pardon?

No Byung Chul committed suicide

because of the skeleton.

When he saw the skeleton,

he was reminded of his crime

and died out of remorse.

Shouldn't you clarify this?

Right. Yes. I couldn't think it that far.

I'll make sure to get that done, sir.

Seriously. How dense.

What about Soo Jae?

I'm sorry. For some reason,

I can't seem to reach her.

"HANSU CONSTRUCTION'S DEVELOPMEN

BUSINESS AND CORRUPTION SUSPICIONS"

Hansu Construction is suspected of

receiving preferential treatment

during their various development projects

in Yeongpyeong District.

Ever since 2017,

LH has tried to put together

a public housing business project

in Yeongpyeong District.

But Assemblyman Lee In Soo,

the regional assemblyman back then,

aggressively interfered to

derail the housing project.

Despite the fact that the process

was found improper,

he even involved the Ministry of Land,

Infrastructure and Transport.

How could you fail to stop one article?

You should all resign! How useless.

All of you should resign and leave!

- Gosh.

- Sir.

What? What just went off?

Sir!

Come on. You're the director.

You should have stopped

these nonsense articles

from your young reporters.

What do you mean there was

preferential treatment

Hello?

That darn director.

This contains some files

on their preferential treatment

in Yeongpyeong District.

Why are you giving me this?

I don't think we're

exactly on friendly terms.

If you were that harsh toward me,

you would take it all the way

whatever it may be.

Their preferential treatment

in Yeongpyeong District.

You were the one who exposed them

which I expected.

Because I have all the confidential files.

I'm sure they will know what you're up to.

I'm going to make my move first.

I'll tell people the real culprit

of the incident ten years ago

and there was another victim

other than Jeon Na Jung.

We don't have any concrete evidence.

If you act prematurely,

you might get hurt.

How much longer will you stay as a coward?

Chairman Choi Tae Guk

already figured out

Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

It jeopardizes Gong Chan's safety.

I can't put him

in danger again.

How did it go?

The funeral is over.

And I dropped off Ms. Ji at her house.

And Chan was standing

at the memorial park

where people couldn't see him.

THE LATE JEON NA JUNG

Na Jung.

What took you so long?

Darn it. Just wait until I catch you.

I'll tell your mom about

your part-time job.

I said I would catch you.

Is that why it took this long?

Is that why?

I'm sorry.

I should have gotten there sooner.

I'm sorry.

THE LATE JEON NA JUNG

Is that you, Dong Gu?

I wondered who would leave food

at my house from time to time.

I wondered if it was your dad.

He was a loving person despite everything.

That's what I thought.

But at one point, I found milk.

Because

you always gave me milk.

Ms. Song told me that you had been there

throughout Na Jung's send-off ceremony.

Thank you.

Ms. Ji.

I'm going to find the real culprit

no matter what.

So take care of your health.

Dong Gu.

I know that you didn't do it.

At first, I really thought you did it.

I had to curse you out,

so I could go on with my life.

When I found out that you didn't do it,

I hated myself for it, so I hated you.

You should stop coming here too.

CHAIRMAN HAN SUNG BUM,

ASSEMBLYMAN LEE IN SOO

Come in.

I need to talk to you.

Go ahead.

You must have had your reason

for not returning any of my calls.

Ten years ago,

on September 4, 2012.

That was the day Jeon Na Jung

whose skeleton was found in

Yeongpyeong District was m*rder*d.

That day,

a woman in her 20s was

transported to the hospital

in the middle of the night

after a car accident.

Before the accident,

she was taken someplace else

by three men from a club in Seoul.

I'm sure they drugged her drink

because there was footage of her,

unable to move when she was

moved somewhere else.

What are you getting at?

The men took the woman to

a house in Seoul and r*ped her.

And the woman escaped frantically

and ran away from the house.

Then she ran into a part-timer,

Jeon Na Jung, at a convenience store

When Jeon Na Jung tried to help the woman,

the men caught up.

The woman started to run again.

Then she got hit by a car and

was transported to the hospital.

The men were worried that

their crime would be exposed.

So they took Jeon Na Jung

who witnessed everything

and k*lled her.

Chairman Choi doesn't know about Eun Seo.

They didn't tell him about her.

The 3 suspects r*ped a woman in her 20s

and m*rder*d Jeon Na Jung.

Han Dong O,

Lee Si Hyuk,

and Choi Ju Wan.

What do you think, sir?

That's nonsense.

The stepbrother of Jeon Na Jung

is Kim Dong Gu.

I'm sure you already figured out

Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

What's your point?

Why are you beating around the bush?

The moment I made the wrong decision

to save my mother and brothers.

I was afraid of regretting that moment,

so I had been neglecting it.

But now, I would like to regret it.

My foolish decision

caused an innocent man,

Kim Dong Gu, to be found guilty.

But the three suspects have

been living such good lives.

One of them is the son of

a presidential candidate.

And the other one is

the successor to Hansu Group.

And the last one

is the successor to TK Law Firm.

Soo Jae, I don't know

where you heard this nonsense.

Let's say that what

you're telling me is true.

But you won't be able to catch them.

Especially Ju Wan.

You will never be able to catch him.

Jae Yi.

She's your daughter.

WHY HER?

Let's talk about Jae Yi later.

Shut it.

Did you come because you wanted to see me?

Why couldn't I recognize you?

How could anyone do something like that?

Father did everything! It was him!

Don't pretend you're any different.

Father has you and me

in the palm of his hand.

Stop trying to be smart. Tell me the truth.

I don't know!

If I go down, the party will go down too!

Darn it.

You crazy punk! Who else was there?

Can Ms. Oh bring down Chairman Choi?

You're using your daughter

to cut a deal with me.

I'm going to raise her well as my daughter.

I'll give you the 70 billion won you want.

Isn't that enough?

Yes. Give it to me.

Give me the 70 billion won

and sign the document.

Give me everything I want.

Do you think I didn't find evidence?

You

I'll give you two hours

to sign the document.

I'm not offering a deal. It's an order.

Since I made my move,

Chairman Choi will make his too.

Tell everyone to be careful.

Jae Yi is gone.

Give me the address now. Where are you?

What do I do?
