(Episode 13)
(Asset Management Strategy)
Jin Woo, are you back?
Attorney Lee In Ah.
(Nam Il Ho's family tree)
It's quaint in here.
I think you know me...
better than I do.
You do.
Why are you here?
I thought your office was too close to my company.
I guess there were reasons why.
- It wasn't a coincidence. - You're right.
You're Jin Woo's...
only objective.
Did you think that your video...
can threaten me?
You're right.
Compared to the video evidencing your murder,
it is nothing.
You should know better than anyone.
About what you did.
If you...
keep annoying me,
I will destroy you all.
Your family,
your friends,
all of them. I will pulverise them.
You don't scare me.
We will beat you with the law.
Becoming an attorney must have given you a smart mouth.
The more you use your memories,
the worse your condition will get.
At most, you have a year.
Six months is the worst case scenario.
When it degenerates,
you will start losing your memory little by little.
Hi. You're back late.
I'm exhausted.
I'll be resting.
Nam Kyu Man was here.
Here?
He came...
and saw that room.
It's...
for the best.
I'm glad there's nothing to hide any more.
Our fight with Nam Kyu Man...
is just beginning.
Hey.
Do you think they're serious?
They have nothing. How can they help each other?
They're referring to the heart.
They mean to support each other with their hearts.
You mean, giving and taking?
They all have their own agenda.
Right.
They each want something. That's why they're helping out.
That's more like it.
A lot of things happened in here.
What else do you have to say?
Seo Jin Woo,
Nam Kyu Man...
isn't someone you can take on by yourself.
So?
I'm being investigated anyway, and my career...
as a detective is over.
So I thought...
I'd give you a gift.
A gift?
(Ilho Group)
Four years ago,
I was the head detective of the Seochon College Student murder case.
I was...
bribed by Prosecutor Hong Moo Suk and...
President Nam Kyu Man of Ilho Group,
to force a confession out of the suspect,
Seo Jae Hyuk,
to frame him for murder.
For three days,
illegal interrogation methods were held in a warehouse...
to force him to write the affidavit.
Those rats.
Hey, tell Joo Il to call...
some of his boys.
He resigned?
I know.
He's weaselling his way out. Darn it.
(Hong Moo Suk's Retirement Ceremony)
I accept responsibility for...
the recent unfortunate events...
and would like to say my farewell.
I hope my incompetence will no longer...
tarnish the reputation of prosecutors.
Today,
I am leaving your side,
but my work is incomplete.
I will work harder...
for the weak...
who are powerless.
Thank you.
That was...
a great speech.
It was like watching a crocodile cry.
Do you think...
this can just cover up the sins you've committed?
As a prosecutor, I concluded that Mr Oh committed suicide.
Prosecutors have the right to investigate on their own.
If I made an incorrect conclusion,
I think my resignation is sufficient for amends.
I'll see you more often now that we work as attorneys.
Are you alone?
Hey.
I let you live, and you stab me in the back?
Do you want to die?
Please,
let me live.
I'll do anything you tell me to do.
Please let me live.
Please let me live, Sir.
Thank you. Thank you, Sir.
I won't forget your mercy. Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you think I'll let you kill me?
You angry little crybaby.
You're done for good.
Detective Gwak.
Do you still not get it?
Do you want to die here?
Did you like my video?
I sent one to Seo Jin Woo, too.
You need to learn a lesson.
Sir.
What are you doing?
Freeze!
Take Gwak Han Soo into custody!
Who are you guys?
I'm Detective Gwak Han Soo.
I called you.
Hurry up and arrest me.
- Arrest him! - Yes, Sir.
If you commit a crime,
you should pay for it. Don't you agree?
You'll pay for your crimes soon enough.
Just so you know.
All these incidents...
happened according to Nam Kyu Man and...
Hong Moo Suk's agenda with their consent.
I received a confession video from Detective Gwak.
If I'm going to bury Nam Kyu Man with one blow,
I need more evidence like this.
But...
- Jin Woo. - Yes?
Your condition is getting worse, isn't it?
Jin Woo, let's stop.
You've done enough. Think of your health.
No.
I can't back down.
Just as your father said,
I wish you can...
live with only pleasant memories.
You don't have much time left.
I will definitely...
bring Nam Kyu Man...
to trial.
Before...
my memories disappear.
Before I forget...
who Nam Kyu Man is.
Internal Affairs investigated pretty deep.
But it will not affect you.
How long...
had you worked as a prosecutor?
I had worked for 20 years, Sir.
In the report,
was the Seochon College Student murder case mentioned?
You won't have to worry about that.
You need not worry about Nam Kyu Man either.
Thank you for your hard work.
Come closer to my side...
and help me further the goals of our company.
Thank you, Sir.
Go tell your brother to confess.
I saw the video.
I heard him confess to Jung Ah's murder.
What do you think about...
the Seochon College Student murder case from four years ago?
The defective microwaves...
were manufactured with Youngwon Electronics wires.
All returned Ilho Electronics appliances...
have utilised Youngwon Electronics wires as well.
I don't think it's coincidence.
Could there be a problem with the electrical wires again?
That's why...
we need to acquire the same defective model.
Also,
the president of Youngwon Electronics,
Yang Hyun Soo, keeps avoiding us.
Something is suspicious.
Here's what I promised you instead of the legal fees.
It contains all records...
of Ilho Group's slush funding.
(Youngwon Electronics Slush Fund, Yang Hyun Soo)
There's something for sure.
I saw Yang Hyun Soo's name...
in the file the vice-president gave me.
In Ah and I will trace Yang Hyun Soo's financial record.
Jae Ik and Ms Yeon should...
acquire as many microwaves as possible.
Got it.
By the way,
did you hear that Hong Moo Suk resigned?
Just like us,
he got everything he needed then packed his bags.
I heard he put up quite a show at the retirement ceremony.
Now that he's no longer a prosecutor,
you won't have to deal with him again, right?
Hong Moo Suk and I go back 17 years.
I can't believe we're working for the same company.
This is interesting.
Can you handle being an attorney?
You don't have anyone to boss around here.
What do you mean?
I have you under me.
Didn't you know?
I got hired at a higher position.
The president made a personal request.
The president is so very thoughtful of me.
He hired you...
to work with me.
Attorney Hong Moo Suk,
be careful on your way home.
Didn't you make some enemies as a prosector?
Now that you've retired as a prosecutor,
you should look after yourself.
Shouldn't you worry for your own position?
You won't have a job if I take all your cases.
(Attorney Hong Moo Suk)
Take all you want.
Sang Ho, let's go.
All right.
(Attorney Park Dong Ho)
What's this?
Youngwon Electronics is related to Ilho Group's slush fund activities.
Gosh. Hey,
you should've remained as a prosecutor.
Why do you keep bothering me with stuff like this?
Since Hong Moo Suk's resignation, I heard that...
you're likely to become the next deputy chief prosecutor.
Well.
If you don't want it, I'll just pass it over.
Wait a minute.
I never said no.
You've become so impatient.
Let's see.
(Reflecting on life and conduct)
Are you happy...
to see me in here?
For all the people...
you've wronged,
I hope you live in repentance.
Just helping me out once...
doesn't pardon you of all your crimes.
If you want to get Nam Kyu Man,
you're going to need me.
Even if we've been at odds,
we should help now as our goal is the same.
These are...
the words of Ilho Group's president, Nam Kyu Man.
"The subsidiaries are all part of..."
"the Ilho family."
As this trial progresses,
you will soon find out.
The only true family...
they recognise...
are those who are connected by blood.
I did it.
You scared me.
You're really good.
When did you come in?
Did you see that? All of it?
From what I can see, I think you can go to court right now.
That never happens when I'm there.
Then all you need is practice.
I'll help you.
Thank you, In Ah.
He's trying so hard.
I want to see him do that properly at court.
He's improved so much.
At this rate, he'll be able to go to court alone.
By the way,
how did you start working with him?
How can you call yourself an attorney?
As a public defender,
you should at least have a conscience, you fool.
I'm sorry.
I should've done better.
I'm so sorry.
Do you remember me?
Who...
- You are... - I heard...
you visited my father.
About that...
What are you up to?
You ruined his trial.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to your father...
and you as well.
Your father was my first client.
I felt terrible after he was sentenced...
to death row.
I realised that...
an attorney can change someone's life...
for the first time, then.
Right.
Call me whenever...
you need my help.
I mean it.
(Public defender, Song Jae Ik)
Well.
- I see. - Jae Ik and Ms Yeon...
are like family to me.
I'm relieved.
You have such good people around you.
The only true family...
they recognise...
are those who are connected by blood.
As you can see, if it exceeds the voltage limit,
the filament will burn...
to cause problems.
With the current regulation limits, the chances for explosions are nil.
That must mean that it's very unlikely...
for the bulbs to be the cause of explosion.
Yes. Unless the bulbs themselves are faulty.
With the current regulated voltage limit,
the likelihood...
of combusting bulbs...
is improbable.
However, if the bulbs are faulty,
there are always chances for combustion.
Your Honour,
I'd like to call Smile Light Bulbs' factory manager,
Mr Shin Byung Hoon as a witness.
Proceed.
Witness, please come forward.
I know...
it must've been difficult for you to come up here.
Thank you for making a brave decision.
The defendant argues that...
due to 30 years of extensive experience,
their products should have no defects.
Witness, what is your opinion?
That's not true.
Due to insufficient funds, the research development...
wasn't given much attention by the president.
- Yes. - Then you are saying...
many defective bulbs were produced, right?
You're right.
How could you do this to me, Byung Hoon?
That's a warning for you, Spectator.
Can you give us an example?
Even with the smallest voltage,
the bulbs would burn up,
or when they were attached to lamps,
they would often catch on fire.
Hence, many light bulbs were destroyed.
Then,
why wasn't that information released publicly?
Our president,
bade me...
to inform other employees...
to keep quiet.
He's lying!
He's lying, Your Honour!
I've never said such a thing, Your Honour.
Guard,
please, escort him out.
Byung Hoon!
How could you do this to me?
Shim Byung Hoon!
You will be punished someday!
That's all, Your Honour.
Jin Woo.
You can use this photo.
Counsel, do you have any questions?
Have you met with an attorney named Park Dong Ho?
He asked you to provide false testimony...
in return for your daughter's surgery, right?
Why are you doing this to me?
Life is...
already hard for me as it is.
I have...
no more questions.
Jin Woo.
Mr Hong.
Keep an eye on Dong Ho. Something is suspicious about him.
I've been doing that, actually.
Dong Ho was investigating your father...
as he was doing some research on Seogwang Group.
My father?
Considering the favours he receives, he shouldn't be doing that.
You're about to get busier, Mr Hong.
Continue keeping your eyes on him,
and report to me if anything comes up.
Yes, Sir.
Three years ago,
Ilho Electronics mass recalled their refrigerators.
A small company which provided the cooling unit...
was accused of the problem...
as they claimed responsibility and filed bankruptcy.
The counsel is...
mentioning an irrelevant incident.
Counsel, you may continue.
The National Forensic Service produced an official report...
which confirmed that the problem...
was in the wiring and not the cooling unit.
(Ilho Electronics PR-14 Surveyor's Report)
The truth was uncovered then,
but the company was already long gone.
He is still speaking of an irrelevant incident.
Your Honour, his statement...
has nothing to do with this case.
How about if the same wiring...
is also the same originating problem for this case as well?
(The faulty wiring is the cause of the accident.)
All the combusting microwaves...
were manufactured in 2014.
We found the particular model ourselves...
and requested the National Forensic Service to investigate.
(Report on Ilho Electronics Microwave Combustion)
The National Forensic Service concluded...
that the wires used in the model were all defective.
They also noted that overheating wires...
can immediately cause combustion.
(The wires are confirmed to be defective.)
We cannot trust their report.
The investigation was first made...
by an Ilho Electronics affiliate and not the National Forensic Service.
Hence, the truth was covered up.
It'll begin soon. Make your move!
The same company...
that produced the faulty wires for the microwaves...
also manufactured them...
for the refrigerators.
Why does it matter if they were produced by the same company?
Does it have anything to do with this trial?
Of course, it does.
The originating cause for the faulty wires is...
Ilho Group's illicit slush fund activities.
Youngwon Electronics...
was used to incubate Ilho Electronics' slush fund.
Hence,
product development was largely ignored...
as defective products were produced to cut costs.
The counsel is...
making accusations without evidence.
The evidence you speak of...
is being broadcasted nationwide right now.
Your Honour,
may I check the announcement for the investigation?
Please proceed.
Please observe.
Youngwon Electronics...
distributed defective wires covered with copper...
in order to cut costs.
The true purpose...
behind Youngwon Electronics...
was to launder Ilho Group's money.
Ilho Group used Youngwon Electronics...
to evade taxes...
to create a 30-million-dollar slush fund.
Ilho Group distributed their profits to subsidiaries...
with low corporate tax rates.
Evidence can trace the money...
to the hands of politicians and media industry.
Kyu Man, I mean, Mr Nam.
Yes, Father.
Yes, I'll be there.
I have reached a verdict.
Due of the plaintiff's misconduct,
the accused does not bear the responsibility for compensation.
Hence, the ruling is against the plaintiff.
Mr Seo.
Thank you very much.
You've done well too, Min Soo.
Wait.
Here you are.
Mr Seo.
The factory was rather cold.
I thought you and your father could use them.
We couldn't even pay you.
You already lost so much.
You must also pay back the deferred wages to the employees.
How can I thank you?
Take a good care...
of your father.
And...
protect him to the end.
Dong Ho.
Didn't you know...
that Jin Woo would bring up Youngwon Electronics' slush fund?
I didn't know.
Jin Woo is...
improving day by day.
Mr Kang, it's been a while.
Mr Park.
Do you have a moment?
I heard of a video of the guilty suspect...
admitting to his crime for the Seochon College Student murder case.
Is that true?
The true criminal must be held responsible.
I...
want to know the truth.
I'm sorry.
I have nothing more to say.
This should hit Ilho Group pretty hard.
It goes without saying. Even their slush fund was uncovered.
Hong Moo Suk and Park Dong Ho must be busy.
If we want to take down Ilho Group,
we need to pressure Hong Moo Suk to resign.
What?
I thought you were going to ask Mr Tak for help.
How did that go?
What are you talking about?
Hong Moo Suk quit and is working at Ilho Law Firm.
Jin Woo must have worked too hard on the trial.
Get some rest.
He must be very tired.
Ms Yeon.
Hasn't Jin Woo...
been strange lately?
No, not at all.
He's only human. He's just tired.
The coffee is good.
It is.
The more you use your memories, the worse your condition will get.
At most, you have a year.
Six months is the worst case scenario.
During that time,
your memories will fade little by little.
How many times did you lose...
to that little runt of an attorney?
I'm sorry, Father.
If he keeps getting in your way,
get rid of him!
There's a problem.
He's become too famous.
If you think someone will grab at your ankle,
you must cut your ankle off.
This should've been simple,
but we're now on the defensive.
This isn't the only hurdle...
you had to jump over since running Ilho Group, Sir.
We should've taken out an insurance policy for...
Don't worry, Sir.
As he said,
we have a solution to handle this matter.
(Park Dong Ho, Evidence 1)
If anything happens to me,
put it all on Dong Ho.
(Evidence 1)
Father,
Mr Hong said...
Park Dong Ho is digging into your past.
Are you saying Dong Ho is investigating me?
Yes.
Are you affiliated with Seogwang Group?
It's odd that Mr Park is digging into your past...
instead of focusing on the trials.
Don't mind yourself with useless things,
and take care of this problem.
Yes, Father.
Hi, Suk Kyu.
Kyu Man is busy right now.
Just me?
Okay.
If I open my mouth,
Kyu Man will head straight to jail.
He doesn't realise I'm holding his lifeline, the brat.
Shoot.
Aren't you busy?
It's nice seeing you often, though.
We should keep in touch and meet up often.
Soo Beom.
Kyu Man's lifeline...
is the Seochon College Student murder case, isn't it?
That's why you called me?
Your number showed up on the doctor's call records.
Ilho Medical Centre funds treatments at the prison.
Tell me the truth.
Did Kyu Man...
really kill a person?
Where did you hear that? Are you writing a novel?
No matter how messed up Kyu Man may be,
do you really think he would've killed a person?
My goodness.
If Kyu Man really did,
you'd better not lie to me.
Fine, fine. Whatever.
Why are you worrying about that?
We came to drink, so you should drink.
This place is nice. I've never been here before.
I'm sorry for losing the trial.
I'll start fixing the issue with the slush fund.
Mr Park,
you intentionally lost this trial, didn't you? You and Jin Woo...
are collaborating to get me.
I even bought a witness.
How would I have predicted he would bring up the slush fund?
You've been making many excuses recently.
Just sit back and watch what I've prepared this time.
I'm so sorry. That wasn't my intention.
It wasn't intentional.
I'm fine.
It was nice seeing you on on television.
You're photogenic.
You should show your face on the news more often.
You looked cool.
Dong Ho.
How is the Seogwang Group investigation going?
I'm going to meet the victim of that case soon.
Investigation? What investigation?
I think you'll have to help me...
in the near future.
Here.
Are these my new business cards?
Yes.
Wow.
(Byeonduri Law Firm, Lee In Ah)
"The truth trumps facts."
I like it.
Would you...
make some time for me tomorrow?
I want to take you somewhere.
You wanted to come here?
I wanted to buy you a gift for winning your trial.
Let's go. I don't need this.
When we first met on the bus,
we ended up at the police station because of your bag.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I was reminded of that day,
so I wanted to gift you one.
Should I go with this?
Do you want to have dinner tomorrow?
Why are you suddenly asking me out?
Jin Woo, you...
Is this how you hit on girls?
Because it's you.
It's because I want to...
remember my times with you.
Sure.
Since I received this today,
I'll buy dinner tomorrow.
Who are you?
I'm Tak Yung Jin from the Seoul Central Prosecutor's Office.
Are you Seok Joo Il, the president of Ilho Produce?
You're the real owner of Youngwon Electronics, correct?
Excuse me?
(Arrest Warrant)
You're under arrest for tax evasion and illegal political funding.
- Boss. - Boss.
(Ilho Produce President, Seok Joo Il)
Nam Kyu Man really prepared...
every escape possible.
That is how the Nam family...
survived thus far.
They used people when needed then discarded them like old shoes.
We should slowly start taking down Nam Kyu Man's aides.
No,
we don't have that much time.
We need to take care of things now.
(Park Dong Ho, Ilho Law Firm's Ace Attorney)
(LPG Gas Butane Energy)
Are you Ha Young Hoon?
Who are you?
I'll get right to the point.
You're aware of the explosion at Seogwang Group 17 years ago, right?
My father was Park Kyung Soo.
I know everything.
Don't even think about...
lying or hiding anything from me.
It's all over and done with.
I've long forgotten.
It's all over?
Maybe for you.
Did you think the posh life of being a company president...
will bury the truth forever?
You'll need to contact me soon.
Hold onto that.
Someone is digging into Seogwang Group's explosion, Sir.
Hi.
Joo Il,
is this what you wanted?
I'm fine.
I can just work out while I'm in here.
They murder people as they see fit...
and use people.
I will punish...
those crooked rats.
Dong Ho, there's no need.
The chairman will get me out in no time.
Joo Il.
Wait patiently for a while.
I will get bail you out.
And you will have...
much more to do with Ilho Group.
I will...
take down Nam Il Ho.
Then...
you go your way.
I'll go mine.
It's been a while.
You saw the news about Youngwon Electronics' slush fund, right?
Nam Kyu Man is the star of the show,
but he weaselled his way out once again.
Just like four years ago.
Don't tell me you still think my brother killed her.
Time may pass,
but your brother is still the real murderer.
Your family...
should get ready to be judged by the law.
I don't know what proof you have to insult my family,
but you should watch your back.
If you don't believe me, find out for yourself.
You're a prosecutor.
It should be easy.
We took care of the slush fund issue.
What are the losses incurred by our company?
Well...
Spit it out.
Ilho Produce and Youngwon Electronics will be audited soon,
and Ilho Electronics will have to recall products.
Anything else?
Youngwon Electronics made too many products,
so the company will take a huge hit.
The damage to the company's image will be much worse.
They expect people to protest.
No.
I'll get up. I'll get up.
You just said that everything was resolved.
You call this being taken care of?
Well...
I'm sorry. I mean...
You're sorry?
- Hello, Sir. - What is it?
Did something interesting happen to Mr Park?
(Report on 1999 Yongin Water Truck Accident)
- Get him! - Yes, Sir.
Where is this rat?
Where is he? Where did he go?
- Come with me. - Yes, Sir.
(Park Dong Ho)
Did something happen?
Please help me.
Nam Il Ho sent people.
He wants to...
kill me and bury the past.
Didn't you know who Nam Il Ho was?
As you must know,
you will never escape Nam Il Ho's grasp.
You didn't forget about tonight, right?
Of course I didn't.
- I'll see you later. - Okay.
This is nice.
Hey, In Ah.
Where are you going all dressed up?
I have business to tend to.
You're going on a date, aren't you?
Who is he? Who is he?
It's not like that.
Go on.
Hold on.
Introduce me to a friend, will you?
Oh, come on.
Think of the age difference. That's ridiculous.
The age gap isn't that bad.
- I'll be back. - Okay.
She's so pretty.
Gosh.
Mr Seo, are you busy?
I'd like to see you, if you have time.
It's just a little gift for you.
You might be curious to find out what it is.
Please, come to my office.
Come in.
Have a seat.
Why did you come to my office without permission?
While I was out, too.
I liked what you did with that room.
I had no idea you were thinking about me...
day and night for four whole years.
Not just me,
but my family,
my company...
and the people around me.
I remember...
everything about you. It's like breathing for me.
What is it?
What would I be so curious about?
When you were six year's old,
your entire family died in a car accident, right?
That's when you and Park Dong Ho entered each other's lives.
Did you know that it was...
Dong Ho's father that caused the accident?
What?
Read this if you don't believe me.
Gosh, you guys have such tough ties.
(Report on 1999 Yongin Water Truck Accident)
(Photographs from the scene)
(Assault vehicle driver, Park Kyung Soo)
You are here by yourself, too.
Our parents passed away on the same day.
What kind of coincidence...
is this?
They say bad ties are revealed at the end.
But you two started off with a bad tie.
(Assault vehicle passenger, Park Dong Ho)
Dong Ho...
wiped out a whole family.
What will you do now?
(Report on 1999 Seogwang Group Gas Explosion)
It's a report on the 1999 Seogwang Group explosion.
(The Suspect Sentenced to Five Years in Prison.)
Didn't I tell you that you'd have to help me?
Is this what you're investigating?
Yes.
Hong Moo Suk had been assigned to the case.
I want to know why you're investigating...
a 17-year-old case.
It's a very important case to me.
He was charged with professional negligence resulting in death.
Actually,
it was murder by proxy.
The suspect who knows the secret...
came to me.
(Dad)
Dad, where are you?
Jin Woo.
In Ah?
Where are you?
I'm in front of my house.
Dad isn't home yet.
I'll prove his innocence.
That way, the girl...
The girl...
Do you mean Jung Ah?
Where are you going?
I'm going to the office.
It's this way.
Hello.
In Ah.
Why are you here?
What...
What are you doing here?
I'm just waiting for my dad.
It's so cold. Where could he be?
In Ah.
Hey.
What's wrong?
Subtitle by viu.com
You knew about that accident from 17 years ago.
Jin Woo.
I don't know why bad things keep happening to him.
There is nothing I can do for him.
Stop keeping a watch on me.
It can be a warning or a threat...
depending on how you behave.
Can someone kill a person with a fork or a knife?
Introduce me to a trustworthy drug dealer.
I'll put Nam Kyu Man in the cell next to you.
I can no longer work for the enemy...
who killed my father.
Because I'm the son.
