(Characters and places associated in this drama are fictional.)
What happened at the fishing site...
and the shadow behind it.
Thank you for taking care of it,
Mr. Lee.
This happens a lot. That's Su Yeon.
We took a shower and changed clothes together.
We just left the hotel room today.
You and Su Yeon...
Your body will absorb it faster if you lose your temper.
It's a medicinal herb drink...
with liquid ecstasy.
I spiked the drink with double the amount.
Drug squad will arrive in 10 minutes.
Reporters will break a scandal.
Jeong Il doesn't want you.
He's after Taebaek.
Did you marry Mom for love?
You were after the dozens of elders of grandfather's church...
and their connections.
Oh dear. I must've taken after Mom.
Out of all guys, you just can't have Kang Yu Taek's son.
I'm begging you as a favor.
I asked you a favor as well.
I specifically asked you to cover up...
Jeong Il's crime.
But what did you do?
At times, women left me...
and sometimes I left them.
Jeong Il. After living over 60 years,
I realized there's no woman worth risking your life for.
Don't you throw away a wallet once it's worn out?
If you no longer have feelings for a woman,
- you can always find a new one. - Father.
Then what are you going to do?
Il Hwan...
intends on locking you in prison...
if you don't end things with his daughter.
Jeong Il.
On the day of Su Yeon's wedding,
I was hoping you could host the ceremony.
You don't have a choice, do you?
That day, you made a promise...
- that you'll end it with Jeong Il. - I had already made a commitment.
I promised I'd spend my life with Jeong Il.
I intend on keeping that promise first.
Mr. Lee.
There is no one here...
to help you.
I thought you were only law-savvy.
But you've got that street-smarts too.
Of course.
The law is not for you to abide by. You have to make a use of it.
Hey, let go of me.
Be careful.
What are you talking about?
Darn it.
Over there.
What is this?
What did you say?
No.
No, don't touch me.
Mr. Lee Dong Jun.
I'm here to pick him up.
It seems like we've met.
Then I'll be casual.
This doesn't look like a time to get drunk, Sang Gu.
He was having a hard time with life.
So I gave him some drugs.
The drug squad and reporters are on their way.
They'll take him.
Now that I work with...
people who tamper with laws,
life is so much easier. Why didn't I realize this before?
I drugged him because he was talking nonsense.
If he is caught on site for taking drugs,
his life will be over.
Hey, babies.
Close the front door and open the back one.
Do it.
- Go do it. - Yes.
Hey!
(Drug Squad)
Get them as soon as you run in.
This is the drug squad. Open the door.
Open the door.
I know you're in there. Open the door.
Call all of our people...
in the police, the national defense, the national intelligent service.
Track their vehicles and get some people out.
Go find Dong Jun now!
Yes, sir.
Mr. Song.
Dad.
This is between Dong Jun and I as a married couple.
We'll take care of it.
(Hope Sanitarium)
You must get patient Bae Il Su to a hospital.
He won't last that long.
Even if you do get him there,
there won't be any doctors now...
We called your son.
It'll take about an hour for him to get here.
He has liver cancer, dementia,
and he developed pneumonia too.
(Bae Tae Seop, son, visited on July 4, 2014)
I know he will leave soon.
At least let his family get a chance to say goodbye to him.
Director Lee Ho Beom, the President's doctor.
His son and his family...
never visited him for over three years.
They will not come...
even if he lasts another hour.
Ho Beom.
It must have been hard for you to wait three years.
Do you want to wait for another hour?
Yes.
This is glutathione.
It's also called a white-jade shot.
It dilutes drugs.
He looks like a nice guy.
You look nice too.
You're too honest.
I'm going to work.
I hate night shifts at the emergency room.
Darn it.
I'll say goodbye.
I'm Jo Yeon Hwa.
I'm Young Ju's high school friend.
Clean up before you leave.
Oh, right.
And make some food too. Okay?
Bye.
Okay, bye.
Let me know once you get a hold of Dong Jun.
They rented out...
a room in this hotel for three years.
Your wife, Choi Su Yeon.
She must've been with Kang Jeong Il for at least three years.
Make a decision.
Will you push me out?
Or will you get Kang Jeong Il with me?
The veranda is that way.
It's a nice breeze.
Gi Yong.
It's about Shin Young Ju's case.
Lose it.
Tell him I'll give him what I promised.
I have to do something...
with Ms. Shin.
I haven't heard from Mr. Lee.
It doesn't seem like he went home.
(Jeong Il)
I should've stayed until the end.
But I had to leave because the drug squad was coming.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I even married someone else.
I want to touch you, Su Yeon.
Shave before you go to work.
You know me, right?
Your beard hurts...
my cheek.
I'm sorry I stayed out...
without your permission.
Mr. Lee.
Su Yeon.
He never stayed out the night without calling me...
for over 30 years of our marriage.
I am sorry. This won't happen again.
I will make sure nothing like that happens again.
I promise, Su Yeon.
Su Yeon.
I'm sorry.
It looks like...
he might be able to tame Su Yeon.
He should.
I will say grace today.
Jeong Il and I lived in the same house for a year in the US.
For over three years in Korea,
Once a week?
No.
We spend the night together at least twice a week.
I have my own past too.
Didn't we agree that we will change in the bathroom?
Kang Jeong Il.
You will get to spend...
10 times... No.
You will spend more time with me than you did with him.
Lee Dong Jun.
You will grow old as you see my hair turning gray...
and my muscles withering.
Dong Jun. You should give up.
I gave up everything when I came here.
I don't have...
anything left to give up.
Su Yeon.
You know the detective who came yesterday?
That jerk...
I guess he's still not over the fact that I got the promotion.
There was a misunderstanding.
Of course.
Once Dad's fixed up,
he said he will help me get reinstated.
Mom.
When I get reinstated and get the first check,
I will buy you new underwear.
Sure.
Good morning, Ms. Jo.
Ms. Choi would like green tea instead.
- Okay. -Thank you.
Let's form a new project team.
The private equity fund in Australia is dealing with billions of dollars.
My father-in-law has given me this project.
Su Yeon.
We are at work and doing business here.
- Keep your private relationship... - We are still newlyweds.
Can you be understanding about this?
You need our merger and acquisition team to come up...
with investment plans and plans for the purchase of domestic companies.
Send me four lawyers for this project.
I will return them to you after the project.
I guess that wasn't enough yesterday.
You're about to take it all.
Send him four of our lawyers.
Oh, right. I'd like to accompany you to the meeting today.
I won't get involved.
You just took your first step.
I'm just worried about you.
Let me just observe.
Was it 1pm at Woorim Hotel?
I pushed it back to 2pm.
I ought to give our guests from Australia...
time to catch their breath.
I think you delayed it because you're not feeling well.
Thanks to the medicine you gave me yesterday,
I am feeling very refreshed.
I'm glad.
I will make sure...
to return the favor.
Team Manager...
Kang Jeong Il.
I will look forward to it.
Mr. Lee. I will get going now.
Ms. Shin.
Be careful.
Let's get some fresh air, Jeong Il.
Is today Baek Sang Gu's first trial?
Attorney Hwang and Jo haven't been in court for a while.
They were busy with paperwork.
Will they be okay?
The trial doesn't depend on your competence.
It depends on your connections.
The most important thing is that don't glare at the judge...
and keep your eyes lowered.
Make him believe that you didn't do it and are an innocent person.
Look modest.
Do you admit that you solicited a crime of violence?
- No, I don't. - How about sexual assault?
The judge in charge is Gyung Ho's senior from the same hometown.
It must be a reunion in court.
Su Yeon will be going home late today.
She has a date with me.
Send her home before midnight.
Her mother seems to nag a lot.
I thought at least you would have pride.
I'm still figuring out...
what I have...
and what I don't have.
I'll see you at the meeting place.
We aren't that close to share a ride.
Let's begin now.
Thanks for choosing Taebaek...
as your legal representation in Korea.
This is our last year's performance report...
of Taebaek's Merger and Acquisition Department...
which I am in charge of.
I know that you have been friends...
with Mr. Choi the CEO for a long time.
Yes, we've been friends for many years.
But friendship and business should be separate.
Please let Taebaek's Merger and Acquisition team handle it,
not someone recommended by Mr. Choi.
Of course. We will be very happy to.
The attorney in charge was changed.
My appointment hasn't been canceled yet.
Today, the attorney for Baek Sang Gu's trial...
is me.
He will take over, but you don't have to worry.
Let's talk later.
Hello?
What?
He was on his way here.
His fate depends on this meeting.
There's no reason why...
Mr. Choi.
Long time no see.
- How have you been? - I have been great.
I'm happy to hear that.
- How was it? - All fine.
Thanks for coming here.
I heard you were coming, Jeong Il.
So I didn't bring an interpreter.
Interpret this.
Taebaek's Merger and Acquisition Department...
will now be...
in charge of local Australian fund dealing in Korea.
Taebaek's Merger and Acquisition Department...
will now be in charge of...
local Australian fund dealing in Korea.
Okay.
Department head will be replaced soon.
It'll be Mr. Lee Dong Jun.
Tell him.
Defendant Baek Sang Gu...
is charged with sexual harassment,
obstruction of justice, and assault.
However, Your Honor, the prosecution has just...
got the report that it was not harassment, but sexual assault.
I'd like to offer further evidence and adjust the appeal.
They can't adjust...
the appeal just because of a report, Your Honor.
The victim only admitted that he...
sexually harassed her because the defendant threatened her.
Now she has someone to protect her,
so she's willing to testify in court.
Defendant Baek Sang Gu is on probation...
for a drug violation.
If he is found guilty of sexual assault,
he'd be given a severe sentence.
But I'm...
persuaded of his innocence.
Therefore, I accept the prosecution's request...
to summon a witness and adjust the appeal.
Have the car ready.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
What do you...
want from me?
That's nice.
You ask questions even when you know the answer.
I should learn from you.
I want to know what happened...
at the fishing site the night Kim Sung Sik was murdered.
Mr. Kang Jeong Il...
has a legal issue to take care of.
I told you to take the leaked documents.
He resisted so hard, so we had no choice.
Gosh, don't worry about it.
The rain will wash away the blood.
Help me.
Does anyone know...
that Su Yeon is behind this?
My mouth is sealed tight. Don't you worry.
By the way,
I heard a reporter was coming here.
I'm glad...
that' he's not here yet.
Mr. Kang Jeong Il...
will have to leave...
Taebaek Law Firm for a long time.
I will go visit you from time to time.
Do you think I will open my mouth?
If you don't open your mouth,
the witness will at the next trial.
People who tamper with the law...
will defend me.
Don't trust anyone...
and defend yourself.
Just like I am.
You have two days left until the next trial, Mr. Baek.
You don't look well.
I have some drugs I got as a birthday gift.
- Do you want some? - I'm hanging up.
Su Yeon is waiting for my call.
You have a lot of my stuff.
First,
I will take over...
the merger and acquisition team.
I'm here to see Lawyer Lee Dong Jun.
How may I help you?
I'm his father.
He's out of office. Please wait for a while.
I can't reach Baek Sang Gu.
What should I do?
What if he reports what happened at the fishing site?
I'm the one who hired him to do such things.
If something goes wrong, you should tell people that.
Jung Il.
You weren't even at the fishing site that night.
If you are selected as a witness,
you can give testimony against me.
Which one would be easier to deal with?
A life without you...
or a life without my father?
Jo Yeon Hwa is...
Dong Jun's father sent her here.
She used to work at the planning office of his hospital.
How may I help you?
I'm his father.
He's out of office. Please wait for a while.
I was ordered by the CEO...
to do security check on you from today.
I will go to...
the grave in Yangpyeong this weekend.
We need to tidy up the grave. Put some time aside for that.
Grandpa is...
alive, isn't he?
You want Jung Il and me...
to break up...
because Grandpa is their servant.
That's why you can't hand Taebaek Law Firm to Jung Il.
- Su Yeon. - You bought a huge mountain...
which is bigger than one of Jung Il's family...
and even made his grave there.
But he's still with us.
Gosh.
He's...
just amazing.
(Lee Dong Jun, Taebaek Law Firm)
(He is appointed the manager of the Merger and Acquisition Team.)
Jung Il will be...
arrested on suspicion of murder.
Before we go to the grave,
we need to pull Jung Il's weeds in Taebaek Law Firm.
Dad.
I will...
turn myself in.
I am thinking about...
remodeling the foundation building into a plastic surgery center.
But I can't get a permission because the building is the foundation's.
Vice-minister of Ministry of Culture is associated with Taebaek. See him.
(Contract of Legal Representation)
Fill out this form and submit it to the administration.
Some lawyer will take the case...
and take care of it by the law.
I thought you crossed over the bridge already.
But you're still in the middle of it.
Mr. Song.
Take Su Yeon home.
Get a bodyguard and don't let her out.
This happened when I failed the bar exam for the fourth time.
You wouldn't let me out when I told you I'll quit studying,
but I got on a plane the next day.
You only found out after I got to the US.
Find a plane and send her overseas...
I'll turn myself in at the embassy.
I'm an accomplice to murder...
and I even tried to run overseas.
I won't be able visit Grandpa's grave for at least 10 years.
Su Yeon!
Our church is in a chaos...
with the lawsuit...
and my brother becoming Dad's successor.
It looks like the elders are against him.
30 years ago, what if the paster...
I mean, my father-in-law...
stopped us from getting married?
What would you have done?
I would've gone to either Bulguksa Temple...
or Haeinsa Temple.
I told him how I, the daughter of the pastor who leads...
the biggest church Korea, will become a Buddhist nun.
That's when he gave up.
He said this on that day.
"I'm more afraid of you..."
"than the deity."
Yes, Mr. Song.
About that case.
Go and meet the prosecutor.
(The Prosecution)
Hey, kid.
There's a spot open in the Blue House.
Do you want it?
I'll help you pack.
Let's make it quick.
The victim of the sexual abuse just flew abroad.
The prosecution withdrew their charges.
He's not there.
He took the Australian guys because they wanted Korean beef.
I always liked Australian beef better.
He told me to tell you...
to wait just a few days.
I must meet my father-in-law right now.
- Call him right... - When I went...
to the prison as the bribed prosecutor thanks to you,
the CEO said this,
"Wait a few months."
And I did.
I'm getting paid 10 times as much than my days as a prosecutor.
So Dong Jun, you should wait too.
Goodbye.
Enjoy.
Mr. Bae is still after you.
They just pushed back...
your case.
If you rush things,
you'll get hurt, Young Ju.
I'll save my dad.
Hyun Su.
Get something for me.
(Card duplicators can easily be bought online)
About transferring you to the merger and acquisition...
He will take that back.
He also wants me to start planning how I'll manage Australian funds.
Ms. Lee has gone out to the Legal Aid Corporation.
May I bring the balanced account...
for your first half year?
Yes, please.
I asked the administration to computerize all the data.
I will print it out and bring it.
You're the one who suggested we get Kang Jeong Il together.
You are the one who rejected my offer...
to walk into their hotel room.
I need my father-in-law's help.
Give me a few days.
You have to get your father out.
Do this for his sake.
It's for your sake.
It must be scary...
to think your father-in-law...
Choi Il Hwan could be destroyed.
Dong Jun.
Once Kang Yu Taek and I go head to head,
Taebaek Law Firm...
may be destroyed.
Yu Taek will be...
going to the Philippines in a few days.
He'll go there to hunt wild animals.
Dong Jun.
That is...
when we'll get his son.
Can you wait?
You are trying to get Kang Jeong Il without harming Choi Il Hwan.
That must be hard.
Ms. Shin.
Walking down the same road once doesn't make us friends.
We silenced Baek Sang Gu...
and your position in the merger and acquisition team is safe.
What should I do now?
Take a shower.
Give me the card to the hotel. I'll go there and wait.
After this,
my dad will be released.
But we'll continue on with our side dish business.
You'll become...
the owner of this place.
Even when the truth is revealed,
the world will remain dirty.
Darn it.
I calculated the fees according to the positions...
of the team leaders, lawyers, and the associates.
- Yes, Gyung Ho. - Jeong Il.
She's not Jo Yeon Hwa. Her name is Shin Young Ju.
Don't you remember her?
She's the daughter of Shin Chang Ho who was framed...
for the murder of Kim Sung Sik and sent to jail.
May I borrow the casebook for compensation for damages...
of the countries that entered...
into FTA with the US for a few days?
Mr. Lee has asked me for reference materials regarding trade.
Ms. Jo.
You always seem to be one step ahead of me.
You can borrow it.
By the way, why is Lee Dong Jun working with her?
Did he feel guilty about fabricating the trial?
Or does she have something on him?
I have a detective named Bae Young Chul with me now.
I don't think he got properly paid for his work for Lee Dong Jun.
Compensate him properly and hire him.
I will summarize this book...
by this weekend and return this to you once I am done.
That's weird.
You don't even leave a strand of your hair on the bed...
and yet, you lost your wallet.
Let's stop by the department store.
I will buy you a wallet.
No.
I got my wallet back.
I told my mom.
We didn't break off the engagement. We just pushed it back.
My dad...
didn't even accept my greetings for the new year.
I will get in, search, and get out.
It will end within 10 minutes.
If I took your side at the disciplinary hearing...
Young Ju.
I would have been fired as well.
Then we wouldn't have been able to take detectives to the restaurant.
We wouldn't have gotten the card duplicator.
If I don't come out within 10 minutes,
that means I'm in a sticky situation.
Then,
he will get involved.
(Lawyer Lee Dong Jun)
No.
I will get involved.
Young Ju! Shin Young Ju!
Young Ju!
Stay down!
Darn it.
It's nice to meet you.
Ms. Shin Young Ju.
Give her a cup of tea.
(Lawyer Lee Dong Jun)
He got so angry when I called him grandpa.
We made this drink last year.
We were going to drink this together...
when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.
However, he's gone.
All I have left is this drink we made together.
This is Lee Dong Jun speaking.
Young Ju.
Young Ju...
is in danger.
If I weren't the suspect,
I would have wanted to take this case.
I want to see the end of the video.
The part where Lee Dong Jun's face is revealed.
The last frame.
I'd like to put an end...
to your filial duty as a daughter.
You killed...
You killed Mr. Kim Sung Sik.
Some things in life happen although no one wants them to happen.
For example,
a detective who risked her life for her father might be arrested...
for fabricating official documents.
Do you think it will go your way?
So far, it has...
and it will.
Where is the memory chip...
that contains this video?
(Taebaek Law Firm)
I bet Lee Dong Jun tried to find it too.
He probably searched your house...
and looked into your mail server.
Where did you hide it, Ms. Shin?
It has to be in a place...
where you can upload the frame every day...
and a place where Lee Dong Jun can't find.
It must be somewhere...
very close to him.
Right now, Young Ju is locked up by Kang Jeong Il.
What are you doing...
It's because a person who can move Jeong Il...
is here.
The best place to hide a corpse...
is where the fight is happening.
Home.
Taebaek. Home.
These are the places you go.
If it is not at home,
it must be at Taebaek.
If it is not...
in the secretary's office,
it must be in Lee Dong Jun's office.
Contact the security and search his office.
I'll...
I'll talk.
- Forging official documents... - I'll cover it up.
Find a customer for my mother's...
side dish store.
(Hyun Su)
I hope it will increase the sales a lot.
(Young Ju)
There's a big plant next to the bookshelf...
in Dong Jun's office.
I take care of the plant.
It is a cactus.
It needs watering once a week.
It has small black stones in the pot.
It's a good place to hide a micro SD card.
The card you are looking for...
is in the pot.
Hyun Su, get rid of it!
- Hang it up! - Get in.
What's that sound?
Who are you?
(Park Hyun Su, Yeongdeungpo Police Station)
I am Section Chief Park Hyun Su of Criminal Division Two...
from Yeongdeungpo Police Station.
I'm performing...
my official duty.
(Lee Dong Jun)
Jeong Il.
The person you have in there...
is my secretary.
Taebaek Law Firm is a place where we handle laws.
You can't hire a law-breaker as your secretary.
We can't have a law-breaker as a team manager here as well.
Su Yeon will be arrested for drug use.
Thanks for your gift, Su Yeon.
I want to return your favor as a husband.
She will be accused of a drug habit.
Ms. Choi Su Yeon wants green tea.
For the past few days,
she took it in small doses twice a day.
They will find...
some drugs in Su Yeon's drawer.
If you want to save Su Yeon, make a quick decision.
A detective is on standby now.
Kang Jeong Il.
I will give your lover back.
And I want my secretary back.
Ask him for help...
or...
say goodbye to him.
(Whisper)
You will have to deal with Jung Il alone.
No one in Taebaek Law Firm can help you with that now.
Chief Justice has everything...
he needs to be working at Taebaek Law Firm.
I'll come to pick you up.
I will found a law firm in the US.
I want Jung Il to take care of it for about three years.
You should go to the US.
Jung Il will take care of your position.
His disease is rapidly worsening.
We must hurry.
I packed all the side dishes left in my mom's shop.
Hyun Su. You sure are blessed.
How did you meet such an amazing girl like me?
Does that look like food to you? I would say it's all good fortune.
Young Ju.
You forgot the rice.
(Whisper)
