01x13 - Corruptions And Threats

[bunniefuu]

Apparently, the test revealed...

an extremely important fact
that couldn't be overlooked.

So I'd like to ask Chairman Kang
for an explanation here...

and hold her responsible.

To prevent any suspicion

of tampering with the results,

I'll open the envelope here.

[STR Analysis and Paternity Test Results]

I know you're all busy. I'll go
straight to the important part.

"An analysis of 15 DNA markers..."

"of Kang Jang Soo
and Kang Mi Na reveals..."

"that they share 14 out of 15 alleles..."

Well...

Give me a second.

What are you waiting for? Read on.

Okay.

"Based on the amount of DNA
shared between the two,"

"the probability of paternity..."

"is 99.9999 percent."

[Match]

[99.9999%]

I'm Chairman Kang Jang Soo's
biological child?

What did you just say?

Why?

Why must I give you an explanation
and be held responsible?

I've been dogged by these rumors
all my life.

This is just too much!

Well...

What I mean is...

Collecting biological samples...

without written consent
from the test subject...

is against the Personal Information
Protection Act.

It's deeply regrettable...

that Hanju Group provided
my samples without my consent.

But I'll have to calm myself down.

I have an important announcement
to make myself too.

I, Kang Mi Na,

will step down as Yumin Group's chairman.

- What?
- Is she serious?

- That's so sudden.
- Unbelievable.

I became the chairman
without enough preparation...

and have had many difficulties.

I also feel responsible
for being the subject...

of these negative rumors.

From now on, the group will be run
by professional managers.

Also, all my shares and rights
will be transferred...

to the major shareholder
of Yumin Group's holding company,

Mr. Han Seung Wook.

That's absurd!

I think you should move out of that house.

Are you telling me to quit
pretending to be Kang Mi Na?

Will you be able to face her family?

If I'd known,
I would've stolen a few handbags.

What will happen to the company then?

She'll have to quit.

The chairman position wouldn't have
suited the real Mi Na either.

She could announce it
at the shareholders' meeting.

I thank all shareholders
for trusting me so far.

What on earth just happened?

Why am I Chairman Kang's biological child?

Maybe someone tampered with the results.

Who...

Who would've done that?

The envelope was opened
in front of everyone.

About the samples...

They must've gotten them
from Chairman Han's house, right?

Maybe they accidentally collected
the real Kang Mi Na's DNA.

I doubt that I could ever get so lucky.

If not, there's no way
to explain the results.

I know.

Could they be putting on an act
as part of their scheme?

But they seemed to be
just as shocked as we were.

- Gosh.
- How strange.

Ms. Kang.

There must have been a mistake.

But at least it'll affect
our stock prices favorably...

Ms. Han.

- Yes?
- By any chance,

have you been thinking of me
as your rival?

Did you come up with this scheme
to get rid of me?

It's not like that.

You're lying.
Do you think you can fool me?

Was your goal...

to attack me, Kang Eun Hwa,
publicly all along?

Then you succeeded.

The reporters you brought in
have already published articles.

The Internet is blowing up.

What will happen to my position
in Yumin Group?

You...

Was my existence
such a huge threat to you?

Is that why you've been so friendly to me?

Were you scared of me?

Get your hand off me!

["Chairman Kang's Sudden Resignation
Leaves Public Wondering"]

[The obvious paternity test results...]

Boy, this is humiliating.

So they are biologically related?

Mi Na even publicly criticized
Hanju Group...

for providing her DNA samples
without her consent.

People are already suspecting
that you two are separated.

She has no respect for her in-laws.

Which of you provided her hair sample?

- Was it you?
- No way.

- Was it you then?
- No.

What's that look on your face? Was it you?

No, it wasn't.

Then what did Sung Hye mean earlier?

It must have been her.

That's why she said that.

By the way, how could Mi Na's ovaries
become healthier...

after her brain injury?

Does the brain affect fertility?

- She lied.
- What?

Just look at what she's done.

She can lie about anything.

She probably made that up...

to make you stop bothering her.

My goodness.

Hold on. Since Mi Na did step down,

does that mean Sung Hye won?

She did,

although Mi Na let her win.

You two made fools of yourselves.

Shame on you.

What were you cooking up with Yumin Group?

I thought it would benefit
Hanju Group as well...

to clear up the matter.

You did it for Hanju Group?

You're like a cat bringing
dead mice to its owner.

You fell for fake news...

and did something
that wouldn't help anyone.

My, this is humiliating.

Just when I was thinking
Sung Woon was coming to his senses.

Don't do anything stupid again.

What you're attacking is my company.

[Hanju Hotel]

Can we talk for a minute?

How could you make such a decision
without asking my opinion first?

I don't see
why I should ask your opinion...

regarding my position at Yumin Group.

Then what will happen
to your relationship with my family?

You don't need me in your house
anymore anyway, do you?

I've lost all my rights
in Yumin Group now.

Everything you've been planning
to do with me,

you can do with Mr. Han.

I don't want to make you my enemy.

You're valuable to me.

Valuable?

I did a bad job of raising my children.

I know times have changed,

but my daughters-in-law
are my children too.

I wanted to think of you
as my newly-gained child.

You can always take back
your announcement, can't you?

Seung Wook belongs to Hanju Group
in some sense too.

You talk about your children...

as if they were your possessions.

If you did a bad job of raising them,

do you think you can replace them
with new ones?

Did you think I'd be grateful...

that you think of me as your own child?

I couldn't be more relieved
that I'm not one of your children.

I'll get going now.

Are you sure
you didn't mess up the test results?

I handed them over
as soon as I received them.

Are you saying
you didn't do anything wrong?

Then whose fault is it?

Director, the team is ready
to update you...

regarding the hosting of the APEC summit.

- Postpone it.
- Yes, ma'am.

In case they misunderstand,

I'm just having a hard time
controlling my emotions today.

Yes, ma'am.
You're always under a lot of stress,

so you need to let it out.

I've learned from many people
of similar status.

Many people are given
what they have as a birthright,

but you always have to work for it.

So I've always thought
you must be under a lot of stress.

You may go.

I was out of line.

Find out what happened.

Right away.

Yes, ma'am.

[Hanju, arson, hit-and-run,
Chairman Han, Chief Prosecutor Ryu]

[Hit-and-run, Chief Prosecutor Ryu]

Now, I can go back to being
the prosecutor Cho Yeon Ju,

set up this investigation headquarters,

and investigate as much as I want, right?

Why is that headquarters here
instead of in your own home?

You said you didn't want
strange guys coming to my place.

Then what? Should I set it up
in the Prosecutors' Office lobby?

Okay.

[Chairman Han]

What happened with testing Chairman Han?

Ms. Kim said she was with my uncle...

that day and time.

Ms. Kim?

She even kept my identity a secret.

But she proved
Chairman Han's alibi to be true?

I don't think
she wants to take either side.

I don't know.

Not taking either side
doesn't mean she's just.

Maybe...

she's like a silent bat.

She wouldn't make things up though.

Regardless, if she's not on either side,

it means she's not on our side.

I don't think we can trust that alibi.

Still, he has a witness.

You've hit a red light
as soon as you started the investigation.

It doesn't matter.

We can just turn left.

To Ryu Seung Duk.

Who's he?

Say hi.

He's my head investigator...

and Chief Prosecutor Ryu's spy.

His spy.

[A few hours earlier]

Suspects never commit only one crime.

People who beat others up lie.

Liars steal.

So, if they didn't order an autopsy,

there's a good chance
they did something else bad.

The thing with running red lights is,

you don't do it just once.

What do you mean?

Terrible drivers...

keep running red lights habitually.

It's strange...

to run a red only selectively...

to follow my car.

Darn it. It's following us.

[261 CH 9876]

[145 W 4728]

The plate number is 145 W 4728.

- Look it up.
- Okay, 145 W 4728.

Darn it.

I think there's another one.

Mr. Park?

What are you doing here?

Well...

He said...

to find out what you were doing
after calling in sick.

That was why I kept sending you signs.

That the higher ups are watching you
for having a poor work attitude.

Are you saying your chief prosecutor
had you tailed?

That's right.

That was why Mr. Park,

who didn't know that I was
personally investigating a case,

had been acting as a spy for him.

I wasn't a spy.
I only told him when you came in...

and when you left.

That's what a spy does.

This was the first time I followed you.

He suddenly told me to find out
where you were.

I called Mr. An's office,

and they said he left to meet you,

so I took a few pictures. That was all.

Regardless, these little things...

can't heal the pain
that you've caused in my heart.

You know that, right?

You saw how I caught Lee Bong Sik
the other time...

when I personally investigated.

I have a big case this time too.

I understand, ma'am.

You only sent Chief
the pictures that I saw, right?

That's right.

Okay.

You may go.

It wasn't like he won the title
of chief prosecutor in poker.

I underestimated him.

Then who was in the car
that was following you?

The car that was following us
was registered to...

the nightclub run by the Samgeori g*ng.

Those punks are definitely Hanju's muscle.

I'll look into them.

No. You stay out of it now.

Now? Why?

There may be no distinction
between legal and ill*gal anymore.

I've crossed the line all the time anyway.

So I'll deal with that.

But I can't request that of you too.

You've never broken a law
in your entire life.

What's wrong with you?

I made a U-turn on yellow
just this morning.

I think Yeon Ju is right.

I don't want you to be harmed
because of this either.

Like how?

I've never thought about
gaining or losing anything.

Especially if it involved you.

I'll take care of that myself,
so don't worry about it.

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

So? Are you saying
he went to do something ill*gal?

Kids these days have quick hands.

What is this?

Isn't this you?

I'm not sure.

You little...
What are you playing at here?

Take a good look.

Ms. Cho!

Why did you do it?

Did Cho Yeon Ju put you up to it?

I would never accept such a request.

Okay, it's here.

I just have to send a text to this number.

Yes.

[Install the app and get a free coupon!]

Kiddo, you're just a junior prosecutor.

Do you think this organization is a joke?

Do you think you can look down
on the chief prosecutor?

Do you want your family and relatives...

to be turned upside down?

If you behave recklessly,

you might destroy your entire family.

Stop here. Got it?

Answer me.

Why you little...

Hey. Don't you know who I am?

I am the Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.

Everything I bury remains buried.
Understood?

Snoop around all you want.

Do you think things will go your way?

Okay.

It has been installed.

You guys are all dead now.

I can hear everything.

That's not why we're doing this.

We're okay if they don't.

What?

So you're going to keep playing this game?

Answer this.

When you summoned Chairman Kang Mi Na,

who was the person that came?

Kang Mi Na...

or Cho Yeon Ju?

What do you mean, sir?

So you'll keep playing dumb?

Then let me tell you what's going on.

Cho Yeon Ju.

She's pretending that she is Kang Mi Na.

Sorry? That's impersonation, isn't it?

We should indict her at once.

Wait.

When did you find out?

How come you've kept this to yourself?

Well, I...

I only found out recently.

Then I'll let Hanju know
and have her indicted now.

Wait, hang on.

What are you going to do?

I'm so close,

but I don't have solid evidence
at the moment.

You little punk...

Why do I have to
report these things to you anyway?

Know your place. I got this.

One more thing.

Everything you're working on
with Cho Yeon Ju at the moment.

Take your hands off them.

If you don't, you're dead meat too.

Where's my phone?

You little...

It's a habit you develop as a prosecutor.

They don't make a move
without solid evidence.

He'll just sit on it
and do nothing about it...

until he's pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Well, she called in sick,

so she should be walking around
as the rich lady, Kang Mi Na.

Why is she out and about as a prosecutor,

digging into the case I'm involved in?

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

Hey, did you find anything?

An Yu Jun's family is too clean.

Forget tax evasion.
I couldn't find any dirt on them.

Let me just tell you this.
His grandfather...

received a medal
for being an exemplary taxpayer.

What? What about
his mother's side of the family?

His mother's side of the family
received a trophy...

on Taxpayers' Day last year...

for paying over 100 million dollars
in taxes.

Okay.

I can't even find any dirt
on this punk's family.

My uncle will keep
a watchful eye on him...

and call me
when he's about to make a move.

All right. It looks like we're ready...

to prove that
Han Young Sik's alibi is false.

I've got something to do.

What is it?

Now that you no longer
have to impersonate Kang Mi Na,

I want to quit my job at Hanju.

If you want your fathers' cases
to be retried,

you'll need an attorney.

But you only have prosecutors around.

Mr. No.

Don't worry. It's fine.
My kids are all grown up now anyway.

No, it's not that.

I always beat you when we argue.

- Can we really trust you?
- Come on!

In movies, you see attorneys
talking their heads off.

But in a real trial,
everything is submitted in writing.

Attorneys who talk a lot in court
are amateurs.

And you won't find anyone who
knows more about Hanju than I do.

But you've worked for Hanju
for many years.

Will you be okay with going public
with their corrupt deeds?

As you know,

you could face a criminal penalty
for disclosing confidential info...

without their consent.

Right, I'm aware.

But it rarely results in a jail sentence.

However, I shouldn't continue
to work as a lawyer...

because it does go against
the code of ethics.

So I'll quit that too,
once everything is over.

Will you really be okay?

Yes, of course.

I was one of
Chairman Han Kang Sik's closest aides.

I should've quit years ago.
I've always felt guilty about it.

The guilt has grown over the years,
so I can't take it anymore.

It's time I set things right.

Well, I'm only bringing this up...

because you and Yeon Ju
have finally made up.

We haven't fully reconciled yet.

We're just beginning to patch things up.

Either way.

I've kept this to myself
because I didn't want to worry you.

But I think it's quite serious.

What are you talking about?

It's about Yeon Ju. She's acting strange.

We couldn't reach her for a while,
so we looked everywhere for her.

She said she couldn't contact us
because she had lost her memory.

We have no idea where she's been
or what she's been up to.

And she's been asking us to tail people.

She keeps doing things
that she never used to do.

Pil Kyu is like her private detective now.

He spends all day doing
what he used to do in the g*ng.

Our business was doing so well,
but we can't even work now. Darn it.

You fools...

How is it that I know more
when I'm stuck behind bars?

What?

She's trying to get me out.

To prove my innocence
and the fact that I was framed.

What? Are you saying...

you didn't start the fire?

You still have no clue
when you've been visiting me...

for the past ten years?

Just do as she says.

You see, there's more.

The biggest problem is that
she's such a bad judge of character.

She's seeing a loser
who lives in a rental apartment.

The tall guy with big eyes?

Are you talking about that guy?

Right, you must know him too.
I heard he was here.

You see, being poor is okay.

But he's such a snob.

That's why I can't approve of him,
as Yeon Ju's uncle.

You fools really know nothing.

What? What do you mean?

All he does is follow Yeon Ju around,

so he probably doesn't have a job.

He doesn't need to work
because he's a rich heir.

What? As if.

He does nothing all day.

He's clearly jobless.
What are you talking about?

Why would he work when he's that rich?

His money is growing
even when he's doing nothing.

He's rich?

That guy is rich?

Just go and do as Yeon Ju says.

My goodness.

See?

She can't come home
because she has something to hide.

You know, I would never just rely
on groundless rumors.

Is that still the biggest problem for you?

Whether or not she's a fake?

What's more important than that?

The biggest problem for me is that...

you didn't tell me right away
when you found out.

What else did you do behind my back?

Tell me now, before it turns
into another problem.

You're talking
as if all I do is cause trouble.

- What?
- You don't remember...

any of the successful things
I started without telling you.

You mercilessly hound me like this
when I make one little mistake.

So how could I discuss things
with you every single time?

Are you saying you'll continue
to do things and just notify me?

Then how can I trust you
and put you in charge?

What more can I do to earn your trust?

What more must I prove...

to be in charge?

Don't twist the facts.

What about all the things
I've given you so far?

The hotel?

It was like a card that
you had to ditch in a losing battle.

Was Hanju Hotel even treated...

as a proper subsidiary
before I took it on?

Have you ever put me in charge
of any of the key subsidiaries?

I've been successfully running
the companies that you abandoned.

But to you,

I'm still just someone
you can't fully trust.

If you know that,

step away from the hotel
for the time being.

Okay.

[Cold Water]

Instead of dragging myself
to deal with my in-laws after work,

I'm going to relax
in the comfort of my own home.

Even this water tastes sweet.

This is paradise even if I have
nothing else to drink but water.

What's up? Did something happen?

No, nothing happened.

Then why... Why are you here at this hour?

I can come over whenever I want now.
Am I wrong?

Oh, you're right.

We no longer have to worry
about what others might say.

We can meet up anywhere,

and we can kiss. It's not cheating.

I'm not saying I want a kiss now.

Here.

It's jokbaengi!

I figured you had nothing to eat at home.

Also, you once told me...

that when you hurt a muscle,
you need to eat stuff like this.

A muscle?

Someone told me...

that our hearts are actually muscles.

We need to train them
so they can recover quickly.

You didn't say it,
but you must've been hurt...

by the things that happened today.

Well, shall we start?

Okay!

It looks delicious.

- Open the door!
- What's this noise?

It must be another apartment.

Hey, come out!

Come out! I know you're in there!
Open the door!

Come out!

What is he doing here?

Is he here to see you?

Forget it. I'm sure he'll leave
if no one answers.

Come back inside.

Come out!

Hold on.

I know you're in there,
but you're not coming out.

Are you hiding something in there?

Come out before I call emergency services!

How dare he drag
emergency services into this?

What if he really breaks in?

The investigation headquarters
and everything is still in there.

Come out right now!

Gosh. Go hide then.

Okay.

What's going on?

What? I thought you lived here.

Room 1501, no?

You got it wrong. Leave now.

Hey.

Just a second.

Where do you think you're going?

Is this your place?

You have peculiar taste.

You like this stuff?

What do you need?

Where is she?

Is she hiding in your apartment?

What are you talking about?

Do you want to be arrested
for breaking and entering?

Your acting is great.

I know you hid her away.

What did you do
to the paternity test results?

Did you have her get plastic surgery
to look exactly like Mi Na...

and plant her in my family?

And she gave you
all of Yumin Group's money.

Is that why you came here?

To tell me about your absurd imagination?

Why am I here?

This game you started...

I want in on it.

What?

I knew she wasn't Kang Mi Na
from the beginning.

But I kept my mouth shut.

Considering what happened,
you should team up with me.

She doesn't have to move back in.

I just want her to remain married to me.

If you knew that she wasn't your wife,

did you ever bother to look for your wife?

I did.

You did? What were you going to do
when you found her?

She wasn't happy living with me either.

If she never shows up again,
it'll be a win-win for both of us.

Don't look at me like that.

What do you know about my family?

Do you realize what you did to me today?

Do I want to know?

After what happened today,
the stock prices already plummeted.

My father got rid of my sister,
and I survived.

Do you think that's because of me? No.

It's because of that woman.

There's only one reason
my father keeps people around him.

It's when they're valuable.

Kang Mi Na hasn't abandoned me
officially yet.

And the shares are still hers.
That's why he kept me.

But if I don't bring her back,
I'll be abandoned too.

That much, I can handle.

But if I'm left alone at Hanju Hotel
without her shares,

my sister will come after me
before my father abandons me.

I need her. Team up with me.

Does your family put shares before people?

Then again, you're capable of doing
horrible things to people for money.

You came back...

for money too.

- What?
- Stop pretending.

Do you think you're any better than us?

If what you lost
had been some mom-and-pop store,

would you have returned?

We're all the same.

That's how people like us live.

Stop pretending you're any different!

Aren't you jealous?

What?

I think you're jealous of me.

Isn't that why you're losing your temper?

You're still so obnoxious.

I'm leaving now.

Give it some thought.

Save me.

I wish my words were...

as effective as yours.

Was that effective?

He left right away,

although he completely ruined the mood.

By the way, are all guys
with strong sisters like him?

Why is he so afraid of Sung Hye?

There was always
something scary about her.

Since he's close with her,
he may have sensed it even more.

Like what?

When she was little, she had a dog
that she really loved.

But later, she developed an allergy
and couldn't keep the dog.

So what did she do?

She had the dog put down.

She did it herself.

Just when I was thinking
Sung Woon was coming to his senses.

Don't do anything stupid again.

What you're attacking is my company.

I shouldn't have followed him.

I did a bad job of raising my children.

I wanted to think of you
as my newly-gained child.

Why can't Hanju Group be mine?

Are you saying you'll continue
to do things and just notify me?

Then how can I trust you
and put you in charge?

I've been trying so hard for nothing.

I begged for something that was
never going to be mine.

At Yumin Electronics
shareholders' meeting held today,

Chairman Kang Mi Na
announced her resignation.

She had been the chairman
since the former chairman Kang...

and his family passed away
in an airplane crash.

At the time...

The easiest way...

to make everything mine would be
if everyone else disappears.

But at today's shareholders' meeting,

Chairman Kang announced
that she was stepping down...

for personal reasons...

Father seemed tired.

I think he needs rest.

The prosecutor at Seoul Central DPO
that Father has been working on...

I want to meet him.

How was your weekend?

- It was good, sir.
- Great.

I don't recognize these numbers.

Why did I get so many texts?

What? Why is everyone canceling
their appointments with me?

["Chief Prosecutor Suspected of
Receiving Money from Suspect"]

["Chief Prosecutor Suspected of
Receiving Money from Suspect"]

What is this?

["Chief Prosecutor Suspected of
Receiving Money from Suspect"]

["Suspect Investigated for 14 Years"]

There's plenty of corruption.
Take your pick.

Thumbs up!

- Thumbs up.
- Thumbs up.

You left this yesterday.

This shouldn't get leaked, you know.

I kept it safe for you, sir.

He wrote down every time
anyone took him out...

and took pictures of everything,

including the cash
and bank checks he received.

All of our media companies
will refuse to air or publish this.

The French media company
that my father bought...

recently opened a Korean branch.

I doubt they have relationships
with domestic corporations yet.

Why that...

Darn it.

Hey. What's wrong with you?
Why are you doing this?

- What is it?
- Look at this.

This is spreading lies and defamation.

Why are you saying that to me?

You're the only one
who knows about all of this!

Know what?

You just said it was spreading a lie
and defamation.

Why you jerk...

You used to be desperate
to come under my wing.

I took you in and raised you
although you had nothing.

You betray me by stabbing me in the back?

You raised me?

I think you were trying to use me.

Since I had no money or connections,

you could use and dump
this smart junior prosecutor.

Hey.

Is this about your father?

Did you take on
that strange two-in-one role...

and do this to me because of your father?

Hey. Your father confessed.

I admit I was negligent
with my investigation.

But he confessed.

What do you want?

Do you want to catch the real perp?

Then you shouldn't do this to me.

What is your real reason
for doing this to me?

What I want...

is to create a just society.

What?

Hey. Do you think doing this to me...

will create a just society?

At least they'll stop and think
that they may end up like you...

if they take a bribe.

You...

When a person is cornered
on the edge of a cliff,

there is only one way to survive.

Jump to the cliff on the other side.

We have to see where he jumps.

What?

At this rate,

my career here is over.

Relax.

Relax.

Sure. This is nothing.

I can just resign before I'm disciplined.

Someone of my caliber...

can go into politics somewhere.

I'm candidate six, Ryu Seung Duk.

I'm candidate six, Ryu Seung Duk.

Candidate six.

I'm candidate six, Ryu Seung Duk.

Seriously.

[Innocent! Honest Worker]

Darn it.
I never had to work my head before.

Should I start a private practice
and rake in the dough?

No. That will only last so long.

I'll have to beg Hanju.

["Chief Prosecutor Suspected of
Receiving Money from Suspect"]

Don't connect the Central District's
chief prosecutor if he calls.

Yes, sir.

The person you have reached...

This old man isn't picking up.

Hello?

He's in a meeting right now,
so he can't come to the phone.

I know he can come to the phone.

I'm sorry, but he really can't speak
on the phone at the moment.

Hey!

He left the office
and got in the car to go somewhere.

Give him the phone.

Sir.

If you keep doing this,
we'll have no choice...

No. Tell Chairman Han
that if he keeps doing this,

we may both burn together.

Chief prosecutor.

You're tied to all sorts of corruption.

You can't call me like this right now.

Mr. Chairman,
there is something you need to know.

Your second daughter-in-law
is an imposter.

I guess that's the rumor.

It's not just a rumor, it's a fact.

And she's my junior prosecutor.

I don't know why, but they look identical.

I'm sure...

she infiltrated your house
because she was after something.

Look here.

Stop talking nonsense.

I know it sounds like nonsense,
but it's the truth.

Remember the Hanju factory
in Seopyung long ago?

She's that arsonist's daughter.

So, are you saying...

that arsonist's daughter
became a prosecutor...

and infiltrated our home
as my daughter-in-law?

That's right.

Then where is my real daughter-in-law?

Well...

I don't know...

- Do you have any proof?
- Proof?

I was in the middle of
looking for that proof...

when this urgent matter arose.

You're a chief prosecutor,

but you're swept away
by fake news and whatnot...

I've misjudged you.
Don't contact me for the time being.

Wait. Mr. Chairman. Hold on.

You shouldn't do this to me.

Your biggest corruptions
that I have files on...

weren't even disclosed yet.

What do you mean?

Lee Bong Sik.

Didn't you do that to him?

Are you trying to blame me
for things I didn't do?

Didn't you end up causing this...

by trying to kiss up to me more?

You're between a rock and a hard place...

because of the way you've lived.

Why are you trying
to drag me down with you?

You'll keep playing dumb?

There's no use playing dumb.

Looks like Lee Bong Sik's case...

and cases from 14 years ago,
which made Hanju what it is today,

will all be dug up.

To be blunt, is there still evidence
remaining from such an old case?

What if there is?

What?

What if I have it?

That's right.

Fool.

Why would you keep that?

We'd end up burning together.

Then let's burn together. Fine.

But even if we do die together,

whose crime do you think is bigger?

Who will be hurt more?

I can simply start a private practice.

What about you?
And your family related to you?

What about Hanju Group?

You should think hard about it.

The case from 14 years ago...

is my most reliable insurance policy
right now.

Do you think I joined Hanju...

without preparing that much?

Also, if you've decided
to whack me or something...

because of that evidence,

you should reconsider.

If anything happens to me,

the evidence that is in the safest place,

that only the person I trust most
knows about,

will be exposed to the world.

I can guarantee you that.

The chief prosecutor
Father has been bribing...

is in trouble now?

Yes, ma'am. What should we do
about the appointment today?

My father is the most shrewd
businessman in the country,

so he'll try to cut all ties with him.

We'll proceed as planned.

Understood, ma'am.

- And...
- What?

You asked me to look into a woman
named Cho Yeon Ju.

You know, Cho Yeon Ju.
No wonder the name sounded so familiar.

There was a female prosecutor
who ruthlessly investigated...

all the gangs in Seopyung.

Her name was Cho Yeon Ju.

I wasn't even a foot soldier back then,
so I never met her.

But I remember the name.

What? A prosecutor?

That is absurd.

[Director Han Sung Hye]

[Cho Yeon Ju]

Cho Yeon Ju.

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

If anything happens to me,

the evidence that is in the safest place,

that only the person I trust most
knows about,

will be exposed to the world.

Yes, of course.

I've finally found the safest place
to shelter.

[Pending Approval]

Yes, that's right.

Let's go play golf together sometime soon.

But you're too good.

I'm no match for you.

Do you know what I learned
from the suspicious death cases?

Let's say you have dirt on someone.

Then put it in the most obvious place...

so it'll be revealed when
something happens to you. Why?

You can't be the only one that goes down.

You are truly wise, sir.

You're amazing.

Chairman Han Young Sik.

You're doomed now.

[Congratulations on your promotion.]

Thanks for coming all the way here
from Seopyung.

Now that we'll be working together
in the same office,

I can drop the honorifics, right?

Yes. Of course, sir.

Are you a good golfer?

- Golf?
- Well, you're tall.

You should be able
to hit the ball very far.

- Gosh, no.
- You have to be careful though.

Don't be so obvious
about letting others pay for you.

Put it on your credit card first.

Then let them make a bet
and take all their money.

Who'd be crazy enough...

to take a prosecutor's money?

When I was on my way...

to a golf course in Incheon the other day,

it was so foggy...

that I couldn't see further than 30m.

He keeps...

carrying this clock around?

[Chief, Ryu Seung Duk]

My gosh.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Please take a seat.

That makes no sense.

During your entire time at Yumin,

how could you not have known
that she had decided to step down?

To tell you the truth,

I knew.

What? Then why did you keep
such an important matter from me?

Well, I'm not from
the Supreme Prosecutors' Office,

which is probably why
I couldn't act fast enough.

My apologies, sir.

That said...

Here is my resignation letter.

I've already submitted it on the Intranet,

but handing it in personally
would be a polite thing to do.

This is too sudden. What is this about?

When your values don't align
with your employer's,

I should leave since I'm a mere employee.

I should've done this years ago.

Maybe Kang Mi Na is hiding
of her own accord.

What are you talking about?

Someone's hiding? Who? Where?

Your second daughter-in-law
is an imposter.

I'm sure...

she infiltrated your house
because she was after something.

She can't come home
because she has something to hide.

You know, I would never just rely
on groundless rumors.

[Chairman Han Young Sik]

You seem to be in a bit of a predicament.

It helps you filter out
some people from your life...

by showing you who is really
on your side and who's not.

I'd like to take this as an opportunity...

to show you that I'm on your side.

In this line of work,

they say there's always a reason
when someone shows you generosity.

You and my father go back a long way.

And whatever you do,
you always make sure you have insurance.

I bet you have a lot of intel
on my father.

It doesn't look like
you can stay in your post anyway.

Go public with everything
you have on my father.

Are you suggesting
I stab your father in the back?

What will I gain from it?

If you don't do anything,

you'll just be a prosecutor-turned lawyer.

But if you get my father arrested...

When things die down after his arrest,

I'll make you
Hanju's nonexecutive director.

What do you say?

Lee Bong Sik must've messed with you,
not your father.

What are you talking about?

You don't seem to know...

what it is that I have on Hanju Group.

It's my father's problem anyway,
so I don't care what it is.

The 1st time he turned to me
for help 14 years ago...

It was about you.
It had nothing to do with his business.

You caused an accident
when you visited Seopyung that day.

Have you forgotten all about it?

Someone died, you know.

That's totally irrelevant.

There's no evidence left anyway.

You know I always make sure
I have insurance.

Do you think I made a deal with Hanju...

without any insurance?

Are you saying...

it has something to do with me?

Well,

I wouldn't have brought it up otherwise.

Why do you think your father abandoned me?

If I reveal that evidence,

the respectable Chairman Han
would apologize...

for not raising his child properly,

crying and begging,

to save himself.

Some old woman died in a car accident.

No one would care.

That might be the case,

but there are many people
who can benefit from it.

Once your father finds out
you're trying to stab him in the back,

he won't sit back.

Also, here at Seoul DPO,

there's a prosecutor who holds
a grudge against Hanju Group.

What can one prosecutor possibly do?

She's more than that.

She's the daughter of the man...

who set Hanju Factory on fire.

Strangely,

she's the spitting image
of Hanju Group's daughter-in-law.

Are you talking about
Prosecutor Cho Yeon Ju?

You knew?

Well, let's make a deal here.

I'll have Chairman Han arrested.

I want you...

to get rid of Cho Yeon Ju.

Is this another insurance of yours?

Barely.

It's not even a crime.
It's just customary.

I'm sure you know.

Let's discuss the details
the next time we meet.

Hello?

You couldn't reach me all morning?

What? The article?

When things are going well for someone,

there are always people
who try to drag them down.

Those losers.

I'm tired of working in public office.

I was going to quit sooner or later
anyway.

Of course.
There are many places that want me.

All right. Bye.

Some old woman died in a car accident.

No one would care.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Help!

Grandma.

Help!

Was it all Han Sung Hye's doing?

Ms. Kang forgot this.

I thought I should give it to you.

You can reach her, right?

Yes.

For a long time, Ms. Kang seemed
to be trying to swallow...

a fishbone stuck in her throat.

I always felt sorry for her.

Anyway, everything turned out well
in the end.

I know that you're aware
that she's not Kang Mi Na.

Her DNA samples...

Were you involved?

Her samples?

I don't know what you're talking about.

No?

No matter what you're talking about,
it wasn't me.

Is that why you wanted to see me?

That's not it.

Don't take anyone's side.

Don't get involved in anything.

I came here to tell you that.

My uncle keeps you close to him...

because you're valuable to him.

At the church, as soon as he was cornered,

he got you involved.

But that means...

he'll abandon you
when you stop being valuable.

I think you should quit your job.

You two make me feel ashamed.

Who do you mean?

The late Chairman Han Kang Sik and you.

Your father always put me first too.

He told me to stop running errands
for Chairman Han Young Sik.

I see.

I've submitted resignation letters
many times.

But they were all rejected.

As you said, I'm still valuable to him.

I used to run errands
for Chairman Han Young Sik.

When he forgot his stuff
in your grandfather's room,

I'd bring it to his office.

A pen, a wallet, things like that.

I only found out later
that they had bugs on them.

I know for a fact
that Chairman Han Young Sik...

wasn't at the factory
when your father passed away.

Director Han Sung Hye was.

Are you still busy?

You don't have to play
two roles anymore, do you?

Have we met?

That's funny.

I'll tell everyone what you've been up to.

That's what I want to say to you.

Have you completely lost your mind?

Have you already forgotten everything?

No, my mind has never been clearer.

Just what exactly did you do that night?

On your way out of the factory,

you hit my grandma with your car
and k*lled her.

It did feel like I had hit something.

It was a person, was it?

What?

You're so dead. I'll make you pay.

I can't wait to see
what one prosecutor can do...

against a conglomerate.

I'll show you
what one prosecutor can do...

when they set their minds to it.

Wait and see.

This can't be the only bad thing
you've done in your life.

Indiscriminate targeted investigations,

excessive investigations,

sting operations, searches and seizures,

publications of suspected crimes...

I'll stretch my authority
as far as I can...

to destroy you.

I understand
why the prosecution needs reform.

Do you even know what a conglomerate is?

I have never once lost
to lowlifes like you.

Because you only fight battles
that you'll win.

You don't even start if you know
that you'll lose the fight.

You see, I've done it all.

Even when everyone thinks I'll lose,

I keep at it until I win.

Go ahead and do everything you can
with money.

The law...

will be my weapon.

[There will be an epilogue shortly.]

[Epilogue]

Just what exactly did you do that night?

On your way out of the factory,
you hit my grandma with your car...

and k*lled her.

Hey.

- Father.
- Yes, what is it?

I just...

hit someone with my car.

You need to get this sorted out for me.

You did? Where?

Near the Hanju Fashion Factory.

I heard Uncle was there...

because of the ledger.
That's why I was headed there.

But...

it looks like the factory is on fire.

Uncle is there now.

The factory is surrounded
by smoke and blazing flames.

At the moment, we do not know
how many are dead or injured.

Is he dead?

I don't know.

The person is not moving.

No.

Not the person you hit.

I'm talking about your uncle.

That's what you want to know?

It's...

a big fire.

It won't be easy to get out unscathed.

[One the Woman]

Are you doing this
to take me down with you?

Why would I go down with you?

Hanju will save me.

Why is it that poor lowlifes
are always so aggressive?

They want to reevaluate
your qualifications.

You know you'll be fired
if you're deemed unfit for the job.

You didn't know this until a moment ago.

But now you know
that I will replace my father.

Do you think a conglomerate...

will look after a mere chief prosecutor?

Do you not get it?

You and that crazy prosecutor are doomed.

Find the most important answer.

Find Kang Mi Na.
