(Characters and places associated in this drama are fictional.)
Kang Yu Taek wants to save his son from murder charges,
so he frames Su Yeon as the real murderer...
and even tries to send Choi Il Hwan to prison.
Your daughter will be convicted of murder.
I'll let you only serve about 2 to 3 years in prison.
Choi Il Hwan is put in danger of completely losing Taebaek,
so he murders Kang Yu Taek.
Mr. Song. Do you have no intention of changing your mind?
Song Tae Gon, the eyewitness...
has no choice but to hide the corpse...
and remove all the evidence of the murder.
Meanwhile, Jeong Il...
notices Choi Il Hwan murdered his father.
Yes. My father wanted me to tell you this.
He said he owes you something.
Shin Young Ju...
follows after Song Tae Gon to find...
Kang Yu Taek's missing body.
Song Tae Gon gets his tail in a gate...
and frames Shin Young Ju as the suspect of murder.
The suspect of Kang Yu Taek's murder case Shin Young Ju...
has just been arrested by the police.
The police announced that they found Kang Yu Taek's body...
in the trunk of Shin Young Ju's car.
Shin Young Ju is the daughter of former journalist Shin Chang Ho...
who is on trial for Kim Sung Sik's murder case.
She was a detective...
of Yeongdeungpo Police Station.
Meanwhile, the police announced...
they would continue investigation assuming this is a crime...
that was committed out of resentment.
Furthermore, they assume...
Shin Young Ju also started the fire...
to cover up the murder,
so they will conduct further investigations.
Chairman Kang Yu Taek who was found in the trunk...
is a tycoon of the defense industry.
He has allegedly devoted himself to the modernization...
of military weapons since the 1980s.
Many influential figures from each field are...
paying their respects to the deceased.
Gosh, look who's here.
This is a police station.
And this is an interrogation room.
This isn't a place that is open to the public.
Hey, go away.
(Taebaek Law Firm, Attorney Lee Dong Jun)
I'm Shin Young Ju's attorney,
Lee Dong Jun.
Was it a month ago?
If I arrested her for fabrication of the official documents back then,
Chairman Kang Yu Taek...
would have been alive by now.
Let's protect the suspect's human rights first.
Ropes or handcuffs are not allowed in an interrogation room.
Unlock the handcuffs.
Okay.
You can't interrogate a suspect after midnight without consent.
Move her to a detention cell in 10 minutes.
I won't consent to an interrogation after midnight as her attorney.
She also has the right...
to ask the police to vacate the room for an interview with her attorney.
Get out.
All right.
I bet Song Tae Gon moved the corpse...
to the trunk of my car.
Are you hurt anywhere?
When did he do that?
If we have the evidence...
that Song Tae Gon moved the corpse...
Take the Fifth.
Any statement you make will be reported to Choi Il Hwan.
They will distort your statement and make a preemptive move.
Tell me if you have anything to ask me.
I don't want my dad to know.
Your father is...
unable to breathe voluntarily right now.
He's attached to a respirator.
I'll help your father...
die in the presence of his daughter.
Take her to the detention cell.
Trust me.
The funeral commission has been formed.
They selected me...
as the chief funeral commissioner.
The funeral cortege leaves the residence tomorrow.
Su Yeon will give a eulogy.
Yu Taek thought of her like his own daughter.
I feel I owe you a big favor.
It is my duty as his friend.
I will...
repay the favor as soon as possible.
Jeong Il.
Su Yeon.
Thank you for giving a eulogy for my father.
I'll give a speech...
for your father.
My dad came up with the plan.
I...
put up the stage.
The car Song Tae Gon drove...
I'm sure there's a trace in the car.
I checked it, and it turns out the theft report was canceled.
- They found the car. - Really?
In fact, they got an approval...
to scrap the car last night.
Gi Yong, go to the junkyard.
We have to take the car.
- Now. - Okay.
Hey, Yoo Jin.
It's Daddy.
Were you sleeping?
Oh, right. It must be night over there.
I'm sorry.
I am...
so sorry.
A shard of the celadon was found on the scene.
The person who raised the celadon...
behind Chairman Kang Yu Taek...
Was it you?
- Dong Jun. - Even if Ms. Shin gets in trouble,
you still have me.
During your trial, you experienced firsthand...
that I can be very persistent.
You must know what kind of person CEO Choi is.
If I approach you,
he will betray you.
He will tell the police that it was you who raised the celadon.
Won't he?
You were threatened and had no control over the matter.
And the abandonment of the body.
If you hire a good lawyer, you will be out in 2 or 3 years.
Think carefully about it.
I will give you some time.
Yes. All right.
Dong Jun, let's go.
CEO Choi is looking for you.
This is the chief of the police force.
He came to ask some questions regarding Ms. Shin Young Ju's case.
Chairman Kang Yu Taek has a robust build.
I wonder how a woman can move the body and put the body...
in the trunk by herself.
Perhaps, can there be an accomplice?
It's a reasonable doubt.
There's evidence that Shin Young Ju changed her clothes on the run.
Whoever provided her with clean clothes...
is likely to be the accomplice.
I have kept you here long enough. I know that you are busy.
One more thing.
How many chiefs of the police force...
became ministers of Ministry of Public Administration and Security?
To motivate the police force,
it's about time a chief became a minister.
Thank you.
Are you planning to set me up...
as an accomplice in Chairman Kang's murder?
How is the vehicle?
The vehicle has already been scrapped.
The parts have already been loaded on the ship heading to Russia.
Mr. Lee, I can't even find a screw.
Dong Jun.
Dr. Lee Ho Beom...
has been my family doctor for over 20 years.
I hope that nothing bad happens to his family.
Dong Jun.
Stop it here.
Think carefully about it.
We will give you some time,
Dong Jun.
Jeong Il, the burial will happen an hour later.
When the funeral is over today,
get some rest in the hospital for a few days. I got you a ward.
I should start working tomorrow.
There's a lot to be done.
You stayed up all night for several days after your father passed away.
Jeong Il, if I were in your position...
Don't put yourself in my position.
Put yourself in Dong Jun's position.
Shin Young Ju has been framed.
The body was discovered in the trunk of her car.
He would want to prove her innocence.
Gyung Ho.
If we were in his's position,
what would we do?
When we met at Han River,
he probably put...
the body in your car.
There's a way to prove this.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a dash cam in your car.
However...
(Han River, trunk, parking lot, dash cam)
I will find cars that entered...
the parking lot and has a dash cam.
"Who..."
"brought you those clothes?"
"How did you load that huge body..."
"in the trunk by yourself?"
The detectives keep asking these questions since yesterday.
Are they trying to set you up as an accomplice?
Dong Jun, you are in trouble now.
You must be regretting now.
I do.
I regret that I disregarded that small voice...
of Shin Chang Ho?
I regret...
that I wasn't on your side sooner.
I am in trouble,
but I am at ease.
The Vehicle Management Office of Han River won't cooperate.
It'll be difficult for you to check the cars that entered that night.
It will be hard to run the plate without the help from the police.
How are you going to manage without me?
It might be hard for us to do these,
but some don't have to lift a finger to get them done.
We have to make those people do them for us.
At what time are you coming tomorrow, Mr. Lee?
All I can do here is wait.
I will come back soon.
(Interrogation Room)
I read the memo her lawyer wrote.
Lee Dong Jun will be checking the dash cams of the cars...
that entered the parking lot that night.
Jeong Il came to work today after the burial ceremony yesterday.
I think he started working after his meeting.
Jeong Il...
framed Shin Chang Ho as a murderer.
Shin Young Ju murdered...
Kang Yu Taek to take her revenge on him.
If one of them changes the story...
Thanks to you, I sent off my father well.
I buried him next to my mother in our family cemetery.
Thank you for your eulogy, Su Yeon.
I won't forget that.
Thank you for taking the role as the funeral commissioner.
So I have prepared a small gift.
What do you think?
It's a Goryeo celadon.
It's a fake. It fits you perfectly.
I suppose that's authentic?
I heard...
the authentic piece was going to be put in your office.
When moving, one's belongings move in first.
The owner usually moves in afterward.
I'll leave it here,
CEO Choi.
Let's take things one at a time.
Mr. Song.
Keep Dong Jun from going any further with his plans.
You must know what kind of person CEO Choi is.
If I approach you,
he will betray you.
He will tell the police that it was you who raised the celadon.
I don't think I'll be able to do it on my own, sir.
I'll need Ms. Choi's help.
Hire a couple men to help you.
Find a couple you can trust.
Only if Ms. Choi assists me on this...
- will I agree to do the job, sir. - Mr. Song!
I won't allow you to bring my daughter into this mess.
I need to protect myself.
Sir.
What...
can I do to help,
Mr. Song?
You concealed your plan even to your clients.
If you reveal all this now...
It's already out in the open.
I'll just have to act smarter.
I'm sure CEO Choi will start to rush things...
and Dong Jun will get an opportunity.
We'll take...
that opportunity from him.
You look tired. You should go and get some rest.
My father...
is getting some rest for me.
Jeong Il. Something's going on.
These are the cars parked near Han River caught on surveillance.
Surprisingly, there were no cameras where I parked.
I've located seven of those vehicles.
There are two that still haven't been located.
Go request for the registration information on these cars.
Wait. We can't leave any traces for the police.
There's people that can do it at Taebaek.
The team that takes care of accidents within the company.
Why don't we ask them to look into those cars?
(Accidents At Sea)
Are you busy?
I told you I have a boyfriend.
You're being so annoying.
You've been doing this for days now.
This is an emergency order from the secretary's office.
Check the registrations on these cars and report it immediately.
(Plate Number: 74J 4528, Phone Number: 010-9452-854)
(Plate Number: 27H 6033, Phone Number: 010-4199-822)
74J 4528, 010-9452-854...
- Please sign the log book. - Don't talk to me right now.
27H 6033, 74J 4528...
8, 3...
I didn't forget it.
One's a sedan...
and the other's a taekwondo institute bus.
Mr. Lee. Where should we go first?
I'm sure Choi Su Yeon has left by now.
There was a camping ground at Hangang Park.
I'm sure the bus was headed there.
- Let's start with the sedan. - All right.
Who should we follow?
Who should we follow between Su Yeon and Dong Jun?
That's an easy question.
(Taebaek Law Firm, Attorney Lee Dong Jun)
I believe there might be...
something very important caught on your dash cam.
It'll only take a minute.
Please. I ask for your help.
All right.
It's this car over here.
My goodness.
- The dash cam is gone. - What?
Jeong Il hasn't been taking any action.
He's conducting meetings as usual...
and meeting with clients.
Jeong Il took the dash cam,
but I wonder why he isn't revealing it?
That's because...
even if he does, he won't get what he wants.
Don't you think so, Su Yeon?
It's been two days since Jeong Il took the dash cam.
Either the dash cam he secured...
- doesn't have what he needs... - Or...
the video isn't enough to prove that Song Tae Gon and CEO Choi...
were involved in the incident.
Look at him. That large frame matches Song Tae Gon's figure.
That's not enough to prove anything though. We can't see the face.
Hey.
Isn't that Shin Young Ju over there?
She's over there while someone's moving a body into her car.
Jeong Il.
This footage will only prove Shin Young Ju's innocence.
If we reveal this, instead of catching CEO Choi,
it'll only help get Shin Young Ju released. But if she gets out,
she'll be sure to come at you to catch you. Darn it.
What should we do? This is incomplete evidence.
I'm thinking.
How could we catch...
a big fish with half a bait?
I have the dash cam. If you'd like to make a deal...
I'm sure you didn't find what you wanted on that dash cam.
I won't buy that dash cam from you.
I noticed I've been summoned as a witness for Shin Chang Ho's trial.
That way the trial will end quickly.
You know how I rush things when I want to get something out of my way.
I'll be appearing in court as well.
I guess we'll have to face cross-examination.
If our testimonies contradict, I'm sure that'll cause a problem.
The judge for the trial...
is meeting with Dad as we speak.
His wife must've plagiarized a paper.
There was a problem with her appointment as a professor.
Ms. Shin will be taken in as Mr. Kang's murderer...
and you'll be taken in as Kim Sung Sik's murderer.
Maybe you two will stay in the same prison.
You've changed a lot.
I learned...
to change from you.
Before the trial,
you should leave.
It's a plane ticket.
I emptied out the villa we stayed in Switzerland.
I'll let my lawyers...
send your father's fortune through a bank in Switzerland.
Change your name,
get married,
have kids,
and live your life.
Send me a picture though.
I'd like to see...
a child that takes after you.
Su Yeon.
You should use this ticket...
when you run away.
This is the last thing I can do for you.
Jeong Il.
Me too.
Half of the world's problem is caused...
because someone else has what I need.
What I need is in your hands...
and what you need is in mine.
I have...
the dash cam.
This is CEO Choi's plan.
Since I framed your father,
you came after my father and got your revenge.
However, Ms. Shin.
There is a way...
in which we can escape this trap set up by CEO Choi.
You must withdraw...
Mr. Shin's appeal.
In that case,
the trial will be stopped.
I also hope Mr. Shin can make a confession...
saying he killed Kim Sung Sik because of money.
Gyung Ho.
He goes into a coma on and off.
The cycle is getting shorter.
He won't last a week at this rate.
My father has left this world.
Your father will leave soon as well.
But we should live.
- Mr. Kang. - I'm talking to Ms. Shin.
This is a conversation between us two.
I thought you only converse with humans.
CEO Choi is in a hurry to bring you to a prosecution.
You will be arrested soon.
I should fight using law.
He may try to buy out the prosecution and the judges,
but I'm sure there is someone...
who is willing to rise up from the ashes.
You will regret sending Mr. Shin away...
without seeing him.
That is...
what I regret...
after my father is gone.
I should have visited him often...
and talked to him more.
I will wait for your call.
But not for long though.
Since Mr. Shin does not have much time.
A lie cannot silence the truth.
That's the one thing my dad held true for life.
But my mom said...
it's a superstition.
The body that was found in your car,
I will say it was a plot against you.
I will make an alibi...
that you were somewhere else at the time of Chairman Kang's death.
To win against a lie,
let us lie too.
We were lovers.
When Chairman Kang was murdered,
we were in my room at the sanitarium...
together.
- Dong Jun. - I have the evidence.
The video from that night.
The original is gone,
but the video is still uploaded on Taebaek's social media account.
We can also track the record...
of us going to the hotel together the night before my wedding.
I will...
deny our relationship.
However, the evidence will continue to pile up.
People will...
begin to believe your words over mine.
You are the judge who stood against the chief justice.
Are you throwing away that honor?
I'm relieved...
that I still had something to throw away.
I'm glad I can throw it away...
for Mr. Shin.
(Hope Sanitarium)
Ms. Jo.
I need your help.
(An honorable judge who stood against the chief justice)
I went to a reunion yesterday.
They were all praising you.
Everyone was so jealous...
that I had a son like you.
So I ended up buying coffees for all of them.
Mom.
I will be condemned very much from now on.
It will be hard to endure.
I'm sorry, Mom.
The times I spend with you in this room are...
coming to an end.
It must've been a nightmare for you.
It was for me.
Is it...
time to wake up from our sleep?
No.
The nightmare will begin now.
(Hwang Bo Yeon)
Shin Young Ju's friend uploaded a post on her social media account.
She claims Shin Young Ju and Lee Dong Jun are lovers.
At the time of Chairman Kang's death,
she claims they were...
having an affair in his room in the sanitarium.
I think they are trying to create an alibi.
Go to sleep, Su Yeon.
Tomorrow will be a long day.
Is it true that you are lovers with Ms. Shin?
You took her case because...
you didn't want this affair to be exposed. Is that true?
Ms. Shin and I are nothing but coworkers.
And...
I only love my wife.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
Do you admit to the affair with Shin Young Ju?
- Since when have you known her? - Why did you take her case?
What relationship do you have with her?
- Please say a word. - Is it true you had an affair?
- Mr. Lee Dong Jun. - What's your relationship with her?
Please say a word.
Yeon Hwa, begin the next step.
What do you think...
is his intention?
- Are you Jo Yeon Hwa? - Yes.
This is the USB driver. Disclose it tomorrow morning.
Shin Young Ju's friend named Jo released a video footage,
and it is causing a big stir.
In the video,
a man and a woman with their faces blurred...
are lying in bed together.
The release of the surveillance footage...
of Lee Dong Jun and Shin Young Ju walking out of the hotel...
is backing up the claim...
that they are the people...
in the video.
It has also shocked the community...
that the surveillance footage was recorded...
on the very day of his wedding.
While Shin Young Ju's claim has turned out to be true,
if her allegation that she was with him...
on the day Kang Yu Taek was murdered turns out to be true,
the investigation will go back to where it started.
The police are carrying out a corroborative investigation now.
Meanwhile, Lee Dong Jun is still denying all allegations...
I need you to do something for me.
Tell the police that I was here...
with Young Ju...
on the day Kang Yu Taek was murdered.
Tell them I asked you to lie,
but you couldn't hide it anymore...
and decided to reveal the truth.
Then people will believe you.
And Young Ju will be released.
Public criticism against Lee Dong Jun...
is being fierce.
Some women's groups are demanding the truth.
The investigation...
would probably return to its starting point.
We've come a long way.
There is no going back.
Su Yeon.
This is a problem between spouses.
I'll come up with a plan.
Mr. Lee, I can't take this anymore.
I'd go crazy if someone spoke ill of me.
But millions of people...
are criticizing you right now.
I felt uncomfortable when I was praised.
But I feel comfortable now.
Mom will have an interview in an hour.
A few reporters will be there. Gi Yong,
please go take good care of her.
Okay.
Dad.
Dong Jun, let's meet for a drink.
Have a seat.
Did you read the materials I gave you earlier?
During the time...
Shin Young Ju insists that she was with Dong Jun,
my son was...
meeting a gynecologist with his wife.
I counseled them.
I heard about it after we got married.
He has some good old memories.
As far as I know,
he broke off his affair with Shin Young Ju after marriage.
- I... - He's right.
He's got a soft heart.
I tried to stop him, but he couldn't say no to her...
out of pity when he took her case.
I told you.
You can't grant your ex-girlfriend's favor.
At that time,
he was meeting my gynecologist with me.
I heard...
there's an eyewitness who claimed seeing Shin Young Ju...
at the murder scene.
Shin Young Ju has nothing but her claim,
and we have evidence to back up our story.
People themselves will be the best judges.
You should go comfort her.
Shin Young Ju will go through a hard time.
As Lee Dong Jun's whereabouts is revealed,
Shin Young Ju's claim turned out to be false.
The police announced that...
they will request a warrant for the arrest of Shin Young Ju...
on suspicion of murder and abandonment of a body tomorrow.
On the day of the murder...
They are being cornered. Isn't it time they'd join hands with us?
Lee Dong Jun and Shin Young Ju. What are they waiting for?
- Gyung Ho. - Yes?
We've become lawyers to help people.
Let's help Shin Chang Ho...
make up his mind.
They requested an arrest warrent.
There will be a review of legality for confinement tomorrow.
I'll protest your innocence...
saying they can't specify a crime only with the witness' testimony.
The police found no evidence...
of a connection between you and the office fire.
So...
They found the body in the trunk of my car.
The alibi turned out to be false.
Is there a way to avoid imprisonment?
I want to talk to Dad.
(Jo Yeon Hwa)
Hello?
Yeon Hwa.
Can you put Dad on?
Hang on.
Dad.
Young Ju.
Don't worry about me.
Dong Jun will defend my case.
I'll take care...
of Sung Sik's case.
I'm...
really...
sorry.
Dad.
You go ahead.
I'll catch up with you in 30... no, in 50 years...
after taking care of the things you left me.
Have fun there with Sung Sik...
doing what you love.
I am Team Leader Kang Jeong Il of Taebaek Law Firm.
I'd like to have a word with Mr. Shin in private.
My late father was Chairman Kang Yu Taek...
of Bogook Industries.
Ms. Shin Young Ju will be arrested on the grounds of a murder.
I can get her out...
if you help me just a bit, Mr. Shin.
I heard you wanted to pass down a better world to your daughter.
If she goes to prison as a murderer,
she will spend 20 years in prison.
Do you want to pass down...
a world of sufferings to your daughter?
There are three reasons why the police have requested a warrant.
Firstly, they can't prove her guilt based on a witness' statement.
Secondly, the body that was found in the trunk of her car...
I doubt that a woman who weighs 50kg...
can move the corpse of a man all by herself.
Thirdly,
the prosecution hasn't submitted any evidence that ties...
my client to the fire in the office.
Please consider my arguments and allow...
her to be bailed out, so she can be questioned and have a trial...
without being held in detention.
The corpse we have found in the trunk proves her guilt.
Since we have to investigate if there was an accomplice or not,
we need to detain and question her more thoroughly, Your Honor.
I'm aware the accused has submitted an additional piece of evidence.
Let's have a look.
It is confirmed that an unknown man...
carried the body into the defendant's car.
The prosecution will claim the investigation was insufficient.
She can't be charged with murder based on the presence of the body.
It is disputable to prove someone's guilt only based...
on a witness' statement.
Ergo, the request for Ms. Shin Young Ju's...
arrest warrant is denied.
Kang Jeong Il probably submitted the evidence.
What will he get from this?
(Jo Yeon Hwa)
Please put Young Ju on the phone. Mr. Shin...
Young Ju, hurry. I think your dad doesn't have much time left.
Please wait just a bit longer. Young Ju is coming.
Mom, I'll be there soon.
Shin Chang Ho, the suspect of Reporter Kim Sung Sik's...
murder case who was sentenced to 15 years in prison...
withdrew the appeal for his second trial.
While he was serving his sentence, he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
He has been in treatment outside the prison on a sick bail.
Through the statement and video, Shin Chang Ho...
confessed the crime.
He submitted them to the prosecution...
and released them to the media.
I borrowed...
30,000 dollars from Reporter Kim Sung Sik.
But...
I couldn't pay him back.
I found out that he was at the fishing site.
I knew that Sung Sik was alone there.
I went to see him.
I...
murdered...
Sung Sik.
I...
tried to sink the body into the lake.
The police arrived.
As a reporter,
I've done something I am not proud of.
Honey, honey!
I am deeply sorry...
to my colleagues, my seniors,
and junior reporters.
Honey.
Dad! No, Dad.
No!
Dad.
Dad, Dad!
No.
I only caused...
Dad!
Trouble in this world.
Dad.
I'm sorry.
Dad, Dad!
Dad.
Dad. Dad!
The driver of CEO Choi left for the US today.
Lieutenant Shin Young Ju. I am here to report for duty.
I will make a convenient motive for you.
You will be out in 10 years.
I have been reinstated as a detective.
If you are innocent, you don't have to worry.
Get out of Taebaek.
I don't think I can do that, CEO Choi.
I ought to take your position.
Dong Jun.
I'm on my way to meet the judge in charge of Shin Chang Ho's case.
Shin Chang Ho is found guilty.
Then his daughter, Shin Young Ju...
will go to prison.
(Whisper)
