-The voting rate only increased by 3 percent from 1PM to 2PM.
Exit poll results are promising.
We can hold the line, candidate.
I will create mass confusion.
I will find a number of computer experts and let them question the credibility of the video.
Using power bloggers, we will ask that the person in the video may be a different person.
Whether they believe it or not does not matter.
People will doubt the accusation and delay their decision making process.
-Hyera.
-Yes, candidate.
-Even if we survive the election and win the game, the controversy will still be there.
-If controversies and doubts increase, people will be bored and forget about the issue.
It will take time though.
-What am I supposed to do for now?
-You did not feel the need to respond to such a blatant lie, and are resting for the time being.
-Update the press by telling them that I am going over the ten Fair Korea objectives which will be announced at the victory celebration.
-Yes, sir.
Use everyone from the online campaign division.
Assign people by portal services and question the video's source, and gather the advising academics.
We have four hours left.
We have to protect the candidate.
-Excuse me...
-You can ask the questions after we win.
-Come on, let's get moving.
-Kang even skipped his lunch to...
-Four hours until the voting ends!
This is definitely a case of election law violation.
Yes, yes.
Of course people's right to know matters.
However, people's right to properly vote matters even more!
Listen, President Kim!
Revalidation of UBC broadcasting license will take place next year.
Stop the broadcasting now.
-Hongseok.
I have a relative who does beekeeping.
He gave up on his business a while ago and now the place is empty.
Let's see how the election goes.
Let's go to the police station if he loses. Hongseok, if he still wins...
You hide out in that place for the time being.
-Ah, chief.
-He did all that to you even while he was a presidential candidate.
If he does become a president, you will...
-Chief.
I...
...will not run away.
-Hongseok..
-I,
...have something to do.
-You exposed Kang to the entire country.
What more will you do?
-Chief.
I will
let them reevaluate Soojung's trial from the scratch.
-Hongseok...
-Soojung loved to play with dirt when she was little.
Whenever she played outside, her face was covered with so much dirt! I had to clean all that up.
But chief...
Right now, there are so much dirty stuff on her face and her name right now...
The trial record still says that she was a girl who did drugs and sold herself to men.
-If Kang becomes the president, it will be very difficult.
-I will do it, no matter what.
I have to clear up my daughter's name.
Let's go, chief.
How long does it take to reach the nearest police station?
3 PM. Voters turnout 38%
Kang Dong Yoon rating: 63%
-Candidate,
The ..the voting rate is...
-Right now at 4PM, the voting rate skyrocketed.
The voting rate that remained at 38% near 3PM increased by 13% during the last hour, and is at 51% right now.
-Did you kill my daughter, just for this?
-...It was because I would have went down, if she didn't.
Yes.
I killed her.
I killed Baek Soojung, daughter of Baek Hongseok.
I contacted your close friend, Doctor Yoon.
I gave him three million dollars.
He took care of my problem the very next day.
-You even rigged the trial.
-If PK Jun did not get out clean, I would lose everything.
People are like that.
Everybody can say whatever sounds pleasing.
Our friendship will last forever..
I will become the watchdog of justice and law..
But the true nature of a man is revealed when the time of choice comes.
People are all the same.
If you accept that, everything becomes easier.
-My people are different.
The prosecutor who arrests his family member to uphold the law.
The reporter who opposes her brother in law to reveal the truth.
The detective who worries about my safety when she herself is in a critical condition due to an accident.
Kang Dong yoon,
THIS is people.
This is...
...people as I know it.
-Youngwook.
Do you know how much does a bull weigh?
If you weigh a bull and ask people how many kilograms it weighs, some people will say that it will be this pound, when others will say that pound.
Everybody will guess their own numbers.
However, Youngwook.
When you get 100 opinions and calculate the average,
It actually results in a rather accurate figure.
If you get a thousand responses and average it out, the figure is even closer to the actual weight.
Since so many citizens came out, wouldn't they be able to figure out the right weight of this bull?
-Are you saying that Dongyoon will lose, father?
-Sigh, who could guess the heart of this nation's people?
When the April 19 incident happened, people were all about upholding democracy. Next year, the May 16 incident happened, everyone said that economic development is much more important than upholding democracy.
This nation's people wishes for different things day by day.
Youngwook.
What time is it right now?
-5:40PM.
The vote ends in 20 minutes.
-No.
According to the voting regulation,
Anyone who arrives at the voting center before six can still participate after 6PM.
What's the rate right now?
-63%.
Exit poll result cannot be calculated yet,
since it really is an unprecedented situation.
Think we can win?
The morning support rate was quite strong.
-The vote rate is the key.
If Kang wins the election,
what will happen to Baek?
-The wealthy are mobilizing.
Your hometown's vote rate is increasing.
If we win the election, this case will be passed on to the special prosecutors.
If we plant someone trustworthy as the prosecutor in charge, this case will be a piece of cake.
As soon as you are elected, we will announce the redevelopment plans for 34 regions within Seoul, and advertise our plans to create new cities near the suburb area.
We will also announce additional regional pledges.
We can regain the support of the people.
-Do you think it is doable, Hyera?
-Candidate.
This is the Republic of Korea.
This is the script that you will read at the victory ceremony.
Please revise.
6 PM. Voters turnout 73%
7 PM. Voters turnout 82%
8:25 PM. Voters turnout 91.4%
-Ah, Detective Cho,
This is the mashed sweet potato.
Have a bite, and fart will follow right away.
-I cannot eat until I fart.
-I pretty much raided the market to find this for you, so you can eat it and fart!
Ah, to fart, or not to fart first and eat instead, that is the problem.
Oopsy!
Gross...
Fart first, it is!
Ah, Detective Cho, here it begins!
-Now, SBC will broadcast the presidential election vote result, on live.
At 8:25 PM, 1,3470 voting voting centers finished accepting votes for the election.
We estimate that the vote rate is around 91.4%.
This is the third-most high voting rate in the nation's history.
Soon, the result of the exit poll will be revealed.
Out of 34990000 eligible voters, 31982257 people voted for this presidential election.
Kang led the race in the morning, but Cho Dongsoo of Freedom Creation Party caught up to Kang with impressive speed.
Kang of Daehan versus Cho of Freedom.
Who will lead Korea's next five year...?
We won!
-Cho Dong Soo!
-Kang Dong Yoon!
-Cho paid for the dinner yesterday night.
I guess that means that he will not side with me, right?
Find anyone in the company who went to the same school with Cho. Same hometown or relatives are also fine.
-Yes, father.
-Cho will have a dinner with 10 most influential conglomerate owners.
Call the other groups and tell them to send CEO or Vice Presidents.
And for us...
-I will go.
-No.
Send CEO Kim of Ulsan division.
-Father.
It's still a first official dinner with the new president, would it not be offending to send him?
-Who gives a damn about the president?
If we were in Rome, he is equivalent to the elected council.
In this country, we have the senate, the consul, and above them an emperor.
Call HanOh Research Lab and tell them to report that next year's economy growth will be slowed down by few percents.
Tell the press to write that the Electronics factory in Choongchung-do will be moved to China.
We have to inform Cho how things are done in this country. Right?
-Father,
How about Dongyoon and Jisoo?
-I will clean up after my children's mess.
-How about Dongyoon?
-Youngwook.
Where's our corporate airliner?
Park one in Kimpo Airport, you must hurry.
-Two hours after the countings have begun, the gap between Kang and Cho is widening.
At 1AM right now, Cho is winning by more than a million votes.
As long as nothing drastic happens, Cho's victory seems eventual.
-I have read a novel once.
One day, there was a revolution in a country.
Many people bled, but eventually killed the king. The leader of the rebels came out with his hand holding the Queen's hand, and waved at the cheering crowd.
The novel ends like this.
People thought the world was changed, but
the only thing that was changed was the husband of the Queen.
-Does Queen signify power?
-Cho's camp is in party mood right now.
Due to the unexpected victory, thousands of the supporters...
-Candidate Cho...
Do you think he is different than us?
-Election is not about electing a good guy.
It's about dropping the bad guys.
The people dropped Kang, and we will eventually get Cho if he is corrupt also.
Reporter Suh.
Do you remember the 2002 Kor-Jap World Cup?
-I think I was in grade 11.
I missed it, because I was preparing for the finals.
-On one day, the head prosecutor and 10 new prosecutors watched the game in a pub.
Ahn Jung-Hwan pulled a golden goal and all of us started shouting.
Clap clap~ clap~ clap clap~
Republic of Korea!
We were hugging and crying out in joy.
The head prosecutor there that day was
Jang Byung Ho.
After that day, I think from time to time.
Is the Korea that I shouted out and his Korea that he should out the same country?
Is your father's Korea the same as
Baek Hongseok's Korea?
Perhaps we are living in the same time but at two different Koreas.
But today's vote showed us that perhaps we do live in one same country, after all.
-One country.
-Equality.
Equality before the law.
If people have broken the same law,
Whether they are powerful or not,
They should be punished the same.
Don't look at me.
Makes me tremble.
Look at the TV.
-The Party Secretary came to visit us.
He will disassemble the camp on behalf of the party.
I think he is starting to keep his distance from you.
-I bet.
-I sent Choi Jinyoung to Cho's camp.
He will congratulate him on behalf of you.
I think you calling him directly would look sort of...
-Good job.
-I will prepare for a press conference to refute the accusations regarding the video.
I will scramble the original bank accountholder to create confusion also..
-Hyera.
-I will start to prepare for five, or ten years ahead in the future.
We can begin from local independent bodies...
What should we do tomorrow, candidate?
-We have no tomorrow.
We did our best for the past 10 years.
I lived life thinking that I would live exactly the same life, if I was given the chance to.
So I have no regrets.
-I have regrets.
If I backed out when your wife was involved in the accident, If I started from scratch back then...
If I refused to deliver the money to get rid of Baek Soojung...
Only if I refused your requests..
-Do you blame me?
-I don't blame anyone.
Neither you nor myself.
We made the best possible decision.
The situations that we were in
put us here.
-Yes.
I understand.
I will carry out the order tomorrow morning.
Chief Hwang.
They are issuing warrants for Kang Dongyoon and Shin Hyera tomorrow morning.
Come in.
-Already?
-I am guessing that they want to finish housekeeping before letting the new ruler in.
-Will you take Kang's trial?
-They can do the housekeeping by themselves.
I will finish what I have started.
I will go with Baek until the end.
After Kang's arrest tomorrow, I will resign from my position.
Defending Baek will be my first case as a lawyer.
-You are a presidential candidate.
The suspicion isn't even verified yet.
We should be allowed few more days...
They will arrest us tomorrow morning.
Both you and me.
-When you applied for the assistant position, you wrote this.
You want to gather the dreams of the poor around you.
You wanted to show that many smaller dreams can collectively form a big dream.
-I still haven't given up on that dream.
-Yes.
I remember.
You had much interest in the labor issues as well.
You wrote this too.
The corporations say this when they fire powerless workers,
"we are restructuring and it is causing us bone-grinding pain"
You wanted to do politics for the bone powders that are spread out in this world.
You wanted to make a fair world.
-I still haven't given up on that dream.
-That's why I hired you as my assistant.
I thought of myself us a powerless bonepowder too.
The barbershop landlord was on a wheelchair.
He was handicapped.
But he was always proud in front of my father.
When he was talking to my father, my father always kneeled down.
He had to match the eye level.
You can't really look down on your landlord.
At that moment, I realized.
The biggest handicap in this world was poverty.
If being handicapped was not being able to do what you want to do, poverty was the worst of them all.
SO I studied.
I went to the best faculty of the best school in the country.
-That's where you met your wife.
-After perhaps a month of dating her?
There was an accident.
A puppy ran in front of Jisoo's vehicle, and since she steered away from the road to avoid the dog, the vehicle was severely damaged.
I thought the repairs alone would cost tens of thousands, but Jisoo was happy that the puppy was not hurt.
That day, I thought...
...that I wanted to enter the world where Jisoo lived in.
It was a long fight.
I want to get some rest now.
-Candidate.
-Hyera.
-Yes.
-The interrogation won't be easy.
-Yes.
-Tell them the truth.
-Okay...
-For Baek Soojung's murder, I order Bae directly.
I merely ordered you to send the money.
Was it Detective Cho?
Her accident was my work also.
You only made the calls.
-Candidate...
-What else is there?
Hyera.
You and I have crossed the same sea.
I am now sinking.
Put it all on my ship.
...and survive.
-Candidate...
-Prepare for the press conference.
Don't worry.
Time is on our side.
Politic is,
Not about saying the things that we want to say.
It is about saying the things that they want to hear.
We strike at once, the opportunity will not present itself again.
It's been an honor.
Assistant Shin Hyera..
-Dongyoon.
Do you know the song called Sahwe Chamyeo?
The song goes on like it's a world, and that's a life?
Wouldn't it be nice to live as Jisoo's husband and Minseok's father for the remainder of your life?
I parked a plane at Kimpo.
It's all fueled up and ready to fly.
-Are you telling me to escape to foreign country?
-Ahh...
Escapee, refugee, the title means nothing.
You will have a bank account loaded with cash.
Wait a bit and get some rest.
I'll send Jisoo and Minsung when things quiet down here.
Ahh.
I know how hard it is for a man to abandon his dreams.
But Dongyoon,
I'd rather have you live abroad than to serve time here.
-I checked with the company administration.
The one who asked for the flight was me, instead of you.
If I were to take the flight, you would eradicate all evidences that link me to HanOh.
You will also get rid of the traces of the election fund that was spent.
The group would be safe.
Eventually, you would inform the authorities of my whereabouts.
I will be brought back here, and be faced with harsh punishments.
And about Jisoo..
It would be certainly easier to get her divorced with the man who abandoned her and ran away.
-Ahh...
Wouldn't it be just great if you were Suh Dongyoon, instead of Kang Dongyoon?
-My relationship with HanOh,
...as well as HanOh's funding of the election...
...will be a secret that I intend to hide for the rest of my life.
-And what do you ask in return?
-Please be a good father to Jisoo.
I will testify that PK Jun was with Hyera at the time of the accident.
Please protect her,
...as well as my son.
That's all I ask of you, father in law.
-Dongyoon.
-Yes?
-I will take good care of your father.
Do not worry about that.
-Thank you.
-Those who were in your election camp will be taken care of by HanOh.
-I appreciate that.
-And if I am still alive by the time you finish your time,
Let us go eat Choouh-tang and have a good talk.
-I don't want to do that.
-Ah, why?
-If I look at the chair that you sit on, I may want to start over again.
-Dongyoon.
I did not think that you would ever give up.
-Well, I did give my best.
-Ah, only if you were born in a wealthy family, you would not have done all these bad things to acquire power.
You've been through a lot.
You truly have been through a lot.
Dongyoon...
-It is 6AM right now.
We hit all of them simultaneously at 7AM.
Kim will take down Baek Inchul of HanOh Secret, while Park will apprehend Yoon Changmin. Hwang will get Shin Hyera.
-I...
Prosecutor,
I have a favor to ask you.
-Please look after my father and celebrate his anniversary.
No one will visit him for some time.
I myself will not be able to come for a very long time.
Please look into it.
-Mr. Yoon Changmin, correct?
-We are from the Prosecutor's Office.
Please come with us.
-Bae Kichul, you are under arrest for abetting to murder!
-You can exercise your right of silence, and have the right to hire a lawyer for yourself.
-Jisoo.
Don't cry..
-Dad,
Please save him.
I was wrong, dad.
Brother.
Do something to help him,
Please?
-Jisoo.
-Honey, I can't let you go like this.
How can I send you off like this?
It is all because of me.
I was the one who caused the accident.
Oppa.
Call the prosecutors.
Let's delay this for a day.
Dongyoon.
Come with me.
Us three can go overseas and live happily.
Please?
-Jisoo.
I don't know if I will be in there for five or ten years.
It could even be longer than that.
When I am out, if you feel the same way about me, let's do that.
-Dongyoon...
-Let them in.
Prosecuting investigators are here.
I told them to come in.
-Oppa.
How could you let those bastards into our household...
-Jisoo.
If I go turn myself in, the media will be all over me and it will look uglier.
This is your father's way of saving my face.
Thank you.
-Maid.
Can you brig us some more Dongtae-jun?
-Okay.
-Dongyoon.
The day you came to our house for the first time, I remember that you only ate this Dongtae-jun. Perhaps you were nervous.
Do you remember?
-Yes.
-Hey, try it out.
How is it?
Does it taste the same?
-Yes.
Father in law,
Please take good care of my Jisoo.
-Dongyoon!
-Dongyoon,
They will put you in a solitary.
I told them to find a room that is not too windy, so you wouldn't be too cold.
-I am Choi Jungwoo of Seoul Prosecutor's Office.
I am arresting you for the charge of abetting to murder.
-Take the cuffs off until we get there.
-It's fine.
If...
If you go with Choi to get Kang,
Please cuff him with this very cuffs.
The cuff that got me, please let it cuff him also.
-You have the right to remain silent, and can find an attorney.
Mr. Kang Dongyoon,
-Prosecutor.
Please state your argument.
-Honorable Judge,
It is truly regrettable for me to be the prosecutor in charge of the most unfortunate legal case since the formation of our nation.
The accused, who was unable to be protected by the legal system, entered a courtroom and fired multiple shots.
I personally feel pity and sympathy towards Baek.
However, law must prioritize the safety of the public.
This court will validate the facts and apply rigid laws to prevent any incidents like this from happening again.
The accused, Baek Hongseok, first entered the courthouse with a firearm with live rounds.
Second, he opened fire inside the courthouse.
Third, he came into the courthouse thinking that PK Jun indeed murdered his daughter. These show that his actions were indeed planned in advance.
Thus, the prosecutor is charging Baek with criminal law article 250 murder, as well as criminal law article 148 clause 1 escaping from the authority.
-Defendant.
State your counterargument.
-There is a detective who received six police award over the last twenty years.
It's Mr. Baek.
Husband was a police, the wife was a restaurant helper.
They cut back and saved up to finally get a mortgage for a small house.
It's Mr. Baek.
Just to give his daughter the concert tickets, he quit smoking cigarettes months before and saved up.
It's Mr. Baek.
Your honor,
The one who opened fire in the courthouse is not someone who was blinded by revenge.
Baek Hongseok, the husband of the woman who worked 8 hours a day at the restaurant to save up $1250.
Baek Hongseok, a father of 17 years old high school girl.
He is someone who we can so easily find around our own neighborhood.
But why did he bring in a gun to the courtroom?
Why did he?
Why did he have to open fire at law?
Who was it that gave him weapon in his hand?
2012 May 28.
Baek went to his daughter's birthday party.
-My loving daughter.
-That night, while he was with his coworkers, he heard of his daughter's accident.
-I think about you whenever I am angry at my daughter.
That makes my daughter look so angelic and precious!
It's a phone call.
My daughter~
-He wished dearly,
...for his daughter to wake up.
-My love, my love, my love clementine..
-But Soojung eventually passed away in a few days.
Baek promised.
He swore to his daughter's name that he will catch the killer.
-Please touch the deceased's forehead.
-And Baek eventually kept his promise.
-Soojung.
Daddy's here.
Daddy's...
...kept his promise this time.
I am sorry, Soojung.
I am sorry.
I am sorry, Soojung..
-But what prevented him from keeping his promise was the legal system.
The lawyer rigged the trial.
-Does the prosecutor want to win this case that badly?
Your honor, I want to know the truth.
-The witness's false testimony.
-Soojung met rich men with me.
Rich, older men.
-Forged evidence,
-Here are the evidences.
This is the autopsy report of the victim.
-Perhaps it was the legal system that killed Miss Soojung.
Throughout the lengthy trial, no one was on Baek's side.
The school refused to host the petition,
-I cannot create a petition that is officially approved by the school.
I am sorry.
-The petition that Soojung's friends gathered..
-Thank you.
-...was rejected at the court.
-I am rejecting the petition.
-The legal system could not protect Baek.
-I,
no longer trust in the law anymore.
I only believe in myself.
-Baek, who assaulted PK Jun who was pushing Baek's wife, was arrested.
And Song Miyeon passed away from depression and hallucination.
-Soojung, let's go with me.
Go with me.
I will bring him down with me.
-Wife and a daughter,
and a father.
Where there was a happy family of three only lies the father alone.
Baek headed to the courthouse.
He only wanted one thing.
-What did you do to my daughter, who was pleading for mercy?
Say it!
With your own tongue!
Say it right now!
-Baek wanted the truth.
The truth that the law could not reveal!
Baek actually had no intentions of killing him.
That is because the dead cannot tell the truth.
-Don't die.
You can't die now.
Say it.
Say it!
-Because of these factors, I must state that Baek's actions were not intentional.
At the courhouse waiting room, Baek discovers a shocking truth.
-That night's accident,
Whatever happened between you and my wife, you will never speak of it again.
-He finds out that Kang is behind PK Jun incident.
Now, what could he have done?
What would I do?
Should I let the lawyer handle this?
-You put your seal here, and it will all be over.
-Should we tell the prosecutor?
-Ah, why would he carry a gun into the courthouse?
Think he is going to show off his new rifle?
-Could he go to the media, which only sided with the superstar?
-PK Jun, who gave numerous children dream and hope,
now his fans are returning the love to him.
-Baek eventually had to go further than the scope of the law to find the truth for himself.
I am presenting the legitimacy of Baek's escape.
For example, a South Korean fisherman who was abducted by the North, cannot be accused of treason for his hostile actions toward South,
if he thought he realistically had no chance of coming back to South Korea.
Same principle applies here.
Perhaps you could ask, but you cannot force Baek to strictly obey the law, of which it abandoned him so thoroughly and mercilessly.
Thus, this plaintiff argues that his escape cannot be regarded as a criminal action.
17 year old daughter died in front of his eyes.
The wife died shortly after due to the shock.
Baek Hongseok.
The law he believed in made a sweet daughter who saves up to get his father new razorblade, into a sex-selling, drug-addicted girl.
What would you guys do?
Thus, this plaintiff insists that the defendant was not in normal state of mental health, and was 'mentally weak' at the time of the incident.
-Defendant,
Please make your statement.
-I...
I am Baek Hongseok, Soojung's father.
I actually have a differing viewpoint compared to my lawyer.
-Mr. Baek.
-I have told him from the beginning.
He is trying to get the shortest sentence possible, but on that day I stole Cho's firearm.
When I was on my way to the courthouse with Cho's handgun,
There is nothing that I can do other than this..
It's been an honor, chief.
Thank you, Detective Cho.
I thought about it,
...over and over again.
I was in a normal state.
My thoughts were focused and my goal was clear.
So, your honor,
Don't even bother with me being weak minded or whatnot.
You can sentence me as required.
If,
If I shot a gun due to my devastated mind, then that makes me the weirdo.
The law, the world is all fine and perfect, while I will be the only weirdo in that case.
I was totally
in my right mind at that time.
Your honor, but there really was nothing else that I could do other than that.
Your honor, I want to know what I did wrong.
I really worked hard for everything.
I thought if I work honestly and hard, I would get what I deserve.
I couldn't do anything other than that, after saying goodbye to my daughter and wife.
Your honor.
Whatever my sins are, I will accept their punishments.
All the things that happened were because people were trying to avoid punishment.
Your honor,
I..
I will pay for what I did.
And,
I've seen the TV somewhere, and there were PK Jun's parents crying.
I am sorry.
I hated PK Jun, but I am sure that he was a loved son to them.
I am sorry.
I will pay for what I did.
I will cooperate with the trial.
I won't even lie.
So, your honor,
Please reexamine my daughter's trial case.
The trial record still says that she sold sex and used illegal drugs.
I want to erase them all for her.
I am really not much of a father...
I couldn't do anything for her...
I really want to clear her name.
Please, I beg you,
...your honor.
