(Episode 16)
Jeong Il.
The police are coming.
(Parking lot)
It seems he got out of the parking lot five minutes ago.
Track down the car...
and ask around in his hometown.
Now.
It seems Jeong Il escaped.
He'd probably attempt to smuggle himself.
He's a smart guy.
Jeong Il will...
reveal the slush fund account.
I guess he will.
Su Yeon. You should've done as I told you.
As you told me,
do you want me to marry Jeong Il?
Do you want me to share a room with the son of a man you killed...
and have a baby together?
He said he'd file a petition...
once our baby is born.
Do you really want me to live with that guy?
I think I developed claustrophobia too.
I want to get out of Taebaek.
I want Taebaek...
to fall apart as soon as possible.
Dad.
Mr. Yeo.
We've just arrived. Where's the room?
The third room from the right? All right.
The chief monk says we can stay here a few days.
Jeong Il, they must've put you on the wanted list.
You can't go out.
I'll get you water and food.
There must be a way to render the evidence ineffective.
Jeong Il.
A false statement due to conciliation?
No. What about irresistible force?
The circumstances aren't right.
Wait.
The video must not have been reported to the superior yet.
If I get rid of Shin Young Ju...
Gyung Ho, you need to bring some people...
who are better than Baek Sang Gu. Hurry!
Do you want me to get rid of her?
Jeong Il, do you want me to do it and go to prison with you?
My kid just started preschool this year.
Do you want my wife to raise our child alone?
I have so much burden.
All I can do for you...
is find a ship you can stow away on.
Cho Gyung Ho!
If you want more than that,
(Calling the police)
It's the police.
Hello? Do you want to report something?
Hello?
I'll find you a ship.
Jeong Il.
I'll come visit you with my wife and kid.
Okay.
We sent the police to Jeong Il's hometown.
But he's still missing.
He will flee the country.
There are more than 30 brokers for stowaways.
We don't have enough people to contact all of them...
to find him.
Stowing away is...
a very complex thing to do.
Within the territorial waters of Korea,
we have to avoid the patrol boats...
and find a place to transfer in open waters.
It takes a least a few days.
I don't feel full...
eating this much.
Buy him a double portion of galbitang.
Hey.
I know a good place.
Look. The one on the first page. This place is good.
Kang Jeong Il.
I worked with him at Taebaek for about seven years.
I know him very well.
He's man who pays back twice as much.
If he gets jabbed, he'll deliver a hook.
He gave up Bogook Industries...
just to get revenge on Choi Il Hwan.
Do you think he'd get on a ship leaving Su Yeon alone...
who handed over his video to the police?
We should provoke Jeong Il using Su Yeon.
Good.
I heard I had a visitor.
It's not that all visitors are pleasant.
It seems the police have a lot of questions...
regarding Kim Sung Sik's murder case.
I was your husband, so I couldn't send you to an interrogation room.
I asked her to visit for the investigation.
You don't have to thank me.
I thought the case was closed with the video I submitted.
It's the police who missed the criminal.
Things are not as simple as you might think, Su Yeon.
This case isn't that simple either.
I was looking into the related data a few days ago.
I think you know him.
Baek Sang Gu.
He made a statement that you were the one...
who sent a hit man to retrieve the documents...
on the bulletproof vest corruption.
I got a call from Choi Su Yeon.
Kim Sung Sik had some documents...
and she wanted me to take it.
You're being suspected by the police.
Jeong Il and you were in a relation for a long time.
You contracted assault out to Baek Sang Gu...
and Jeong Il committed a murder in the process.
You should clear up the doubts...
or come clean.
Who is Baek Sang Gu?
He runs a demolition service that Jeong Il takes care of.
I see.
I think I heard about it from Jeong Il.
I think you got hurt too, Dong Jun.
As far as I know, Jeong Il did that too.
Are you saying Jeong Il solicited him to murder Dong Jun?
Dong Jun, Jeong Il, and Mr. Baek.
I heard the three of you met before.
Dong Jun would know about that.
Whether Baek Sang Gu worked for me or Jeong Il.
Jeong Il is the one who injected drug into Dong Jun...
and solicited Mr. Baek to kill dong Jun.
And it's Jeong Il who solicited Mr. Baek...
to assault Kim Sung Sik.
If he was the one who solicited to murder Mr. Lee,
it must be Mr. Kang who solicited to assault Kim Sung Sik.
I believe the police will make a rational decision.
You should get a confession from Jeong Il.
I think I've cleared up the doubts on me.
I'll get myself out then.
Jin Chul.
- Did you get that? - Yes.
Give that to every single reporter who comes here for information.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Choi Su Yeon has also testified...
about more crimes...
which Kang Jeong Il has committed.
Mr. Kang has used Baek Sang Gu, a demolition contractor...
to violently abuse another...
and even instigating murder.
The police decided...
Ms. Choi's testimony was trustworthy...
and are undergoing further investigation...
while looking for his whereabouts.
Jeong Il, I found a boat for you.
It'll leave from Incheon tonight.
First,
go to Macau.
- And from there... - Gyung Ho.
I have to meet Su Yeon...
before I leave.
Jeong Il, your face has been all over the news all day today.
You're the most wanted criminal in the country.
That's my life.
But what about Su Yeon's life?
I'm sitting here crying.
Su Yeon can't sit around smiling.
Let's do this before I leave on the boat.
Do this for me.
I erased all information pertaining to Baek Sang Gu.
The information which I couldn't...
Give it over to Jeong Il.
He'll leave anyway.
Let's put all of our burdens on him.
I...
Jeong Il must've sent you.
I'm sure he wants to see me.
Where is he right now?
Yes, Ms. Choi is leaving her office.
I'll follow her. You keep your eyes on Mr. Cho.
Su Yeon is on the move.
You should leave.
I'll keep my phone on.
Keep sending me her location.
Jin Chul.
How many meals do you eat in a day? Let's go.
There is this law in the 10 Commandments.
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
But...
I think I have.
Jeong Il.
What I served at that time...
wasn't Taebaek or Dad, it was you.
What can I do for you?
You probably found a boat already.
Since you like horseback riding,
should I find a farm for you in a country where they don't have...
a criminal extradition agreement with Korea?
Su Yeon.
Do you want to come with me?
What...
happened to us?
Forget about how I abandoned you.
Forget about how CEO Choi killed my dad.
Let us forget all about it.
Why don't we...
live together...
like how we used to?
Jeong Il.
I can't believe how I got you involved in bulletproof vest thing.
I should've stopped my dad at that time.
I'm sorry.
You killed Reporter Kim Sung Sik because of me.
Only if I hadn't hired Baek Sang Gu for the job...
If Dong Jun...
disappeared that night by the quay,
do you think we'll still be on the same road?
I asked you to do that.
I'm sorry.
You just...
did something that I asked.
I'm sorry, Jeong Il.
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
It's me.
Gyung Ho.
Send that video we just recorded to Su Yeon's cell phone.
This video will also be sent to the police.
I am...
leaving tonight.
(Cho Gyung Ho)
Run.
Run before the police come.
You have to throw away everything you've got.
This is the last advice I can give you.
Jeong Il.
I didn't record the video.
You are leaving,
but I must stay in Taebaek.
Jeong Il.
You've done everything you can. Let's stop this already.
Come by the quayside.
I already prepared a place for you to stay in Macau.
Please.
Let's stop and please leave.
Cho Gyung Ho! How can you do this to me?
Ms. Hwang asked me...
why I would go and see you.
This is what I said.
"I'm going to make him give up and leave quickly."
Things will give me a headache if you get caught by the police.
You and I...
have been together for a long time...
and have been involved in a lot of things together.
- Choi Su Yeon! - That camera is...
being recorded as of now.
Be careful.
If you lay a hand on me,
that boat of yours will be canceled.
Records regarding Baek Sang Gu...
and any trace related to the murder of Reporter Kim Sung Sik.
I'm going to load all of them into the boat you will be on.
Thank you, Jeong Il.
Jeong Il is coming out.
I will be there in five minutes, Dong Jun.
I will try to delay him.
Dong Jun.
Get out of my sight!
It's over.
You will rot in prison for a very long time.
Dong Jun.
Mr. Kang Jeong Il,
you are under arrest...
for the murder of Reporter Kim Sung Sik.
Attorney Kang Jeong Il, the son of Chairman Kang Yu Taek...
was arrested for the murder of Reporter Kim Sung Sik.
Mr. Kang was...
- How did this happen to us? - preparing to smuggle himself,
but he was arrested at a temple near Seoul metropolitan area.
As of now, Mr. Kang...
is being questioned at Yeongdeungpo Police Station.
While the police are trying to prove his additional crimes,
they announced they are reviewing a plan to broaden the circle...
of the investigation to the police officers, prosecutors, and...
judicial officers who partook in the cover-up and fabricating the case.
(Mom's birthday)
Although you don't fulfill your duty,
you make sure you exercise every right you have...
including the Fifth.
The Fifth.
It was convenient when I took the Fifth,
but it's quite annoying when other people exercise the right.
Jeong Il,
you can't avoid the murder charge.
Submit the slush fund account you have to the police.
Why should I...
use what I have for this world?
When my father left this world to which he can't ever come back,
I wonder what his last thoughts were during his last moment of his life.
If he loses Taebaek...
and his only daughter Su Yeon goes to prison,
he will shed tears too...
just like my father.
Su Yeon.
Bring her handcuffed before my eyes.
If you do,
I will...
leave the slush fund account in your hands.
I can't negotiate with a murder suspect.
That's the principle.
If the slush fund account isn't in your hands,
Taebaek will remain undiminished.
Dong Jun will be the only one getting hurt from this.
Think about this carefully.
If that is your principle,
keep it.
Su Yeon is denying any relationship with Baek Sang Gu.
She is denying her involvement in fabricating and covering up...
the murder of Reporter Kim.
No suspect would willingly confess.
I'll review documents relevant to Baek Sang Gu remaining in Taebaek.
I will backtrack the cover-up process of the murder.
Have a good day, Young Ju.
I have deleted all the files on our server.
There's no file that can tie you and Baek Sang Gu together in Taebaek.
(Baek Sang Gu)
(There's no data on "Baek Sang Gu".)
I met every police officer and prosecutors who was involved...
in the cover-up. I've already talked to them to keep their silence...
just in case they are questioned.
The cover-up that Chief Justice Jang Hyun Guk was involved in...
They won't be able to uncover it since he is under arrest.
I contacted everyone involved in the investigation for the murder,
but no one's talking.
I think everyone as a whole was asked to keep their silence.
The superiors assigned more police officers for the case.
I guess they just want to focus on the murder of Reporter Kim Sung Sik.
Then the slush fund account will be swept under the carpet.
Taebaek...
If Taebaek collapses,
this world will slightly become a brighter place.
I have already prepared myself...
to be a stepping stone for this cause.
Chief Justice Jang Hyun Guk is being held in Seoul detention center.
Meet with him tomorrow.
I will set it up within today.
I have been reading up on your case through the newspaper.
I heard Taebaek is in danger.
You will end up here soon enough.
Your daughter...
divorced her husband.
I heard she's planning to study abroad.
I came since I thought I could be of use.
If the fact that Su Yeon tipped you off regarding...
the National Health Insurance Corporation is revealed,
it will be revealed that I gave into CEO Choi's threat...
and that sold my ruling to him.
A detective will visit you.
Chief Justice, whatever she asks you,
tell her that you don't know anything.
You are telling me that I'm holding the rope that will bind you.
Make that rope into a useful one for your daughter's life.
I am a former chief justice.
I will answer the detective's questions truthfully.
Chief Justice.
Chief Justice!
(Kim Sung Sik Case Sentencing)
(Print)
(Seoul Southern District Court Sentencing)
(Taebaek CEO Choi Il Hwan)
Choi Su Yeon...
came to me with data implying that Lee Dong Jun exerted pressure on...
the National Health Insurance Corporation.
Lee Dong Jun came to see me yesterday.
He tried to placate me.
Keep a record of that as well.
Chief Justice Jang Hyun Guk is at the Seoul detention center.
Go meet him tomorrow.
I'll get everything ready for you by today.
If needed, I'm willing to testify in court as well.
You can...
send Lee Dong Jun down for sure, right?
Wait here.
Thanks for letting me use your bathroom.
Your bathroom's larger than my room...
and this room is larger than our house.
I believe you already made a visit to investigate.
You're right.
Then what brings you...
all the way here so late at night?
You may consider this a forcible summon...
or you could see it as an arrest.
We received information that you intervened in concealing...
and tampering the Reporter Kim Sung Sik Murder Case.
Instead of wasting time on writing out a subpoena,
I thought I'd come for you myself.
What do you think you're doing, Young Ju?
Let's not make a scene now.
I'm sure your mother's still unwell.
Don't make me handcuff you.
We have information that you were the one that hired...
and made the order to Baek Sang Gu.
A statement made by a murder suspect...
versus an innocent citizen's statement.
Whose side do you think the law will be on?
We have additional information.
This is former Chief Justice Jang Hyun Guk's...
written statement claiming that you provided information...
on allegations against Dong Jun.
(Written Statement)
Don't you think...
this will be enough to prove that you played...
an active role in covering up the murder?
Dad wanted me to get married to Dong Jun.
I went overboard to earn the son-in-law he wanted.
How could this statement...
prove that I concealed the murder?
This is a copy of the sentencing I found on Taebaek's server.
CEO Choi...
wrote this sentencing himself.
This is my ruling...
from the first trial.
I wrote a sentencing myself for a change.
I'll rule that trial.
You just bang the gavel.
I followed CEO Choi's order...
and broke my faith doing that trial.
Su Yeon bribed Chief Justice Jang...
and I surrendered to CEO Choi.
Su Yeon.
You were the one that controlled the concealment of...
Kim Sung Sik's murder.
I'm sure CEO Choi wrote the scenario.
And that time as well, you put the plan in action.
Su Yeon. You're under arrest for concealing Reporter Kim's murder...
and hiring Baek Sang Gu to attack a victim.
I kept my promise.
Now it's your turn to keep yours.
Where's the slush fund account?
Wait.
This investigation will start over...
- with an attorney present. - Su Yeon.
It's time you give up.
An arrest warrant for your arrest will be issued as well.
With the contract trial...
along with the slush fund issue,
I'll have dozens of affidavits to look over.
Put it off just for a few days for me.
I'll make sure to set a trap, so Taebaek's people can't get away.
That way, it'll make it easier for you to investigate.
I'll send you a list of people that should be forbidden
to leave the country by tomorrow.
I'm afraid the list of bribees will take a few days.
I'll try to stick with my position at Taebaek...
and send you whatever information I can find.
After I'm done,
I guess we'll be meeting in the interrogation room.
(Police Academy Graduation)
I see Mr. Shin wasn't lying.
You were really pretty 10 years ago.
Lieutenant Shin Young Ju...
is appointed to the Special Investigation Team.
Today, the police set up a special investigation unit...
to work on the biggest slush fund scandal ever.
The Taebaek-gate with judicial and defense industry's corruption...
is the corruption scandal where high-rank government officials,
military generals, politicians, and judicial officers are involved.
About 70 people were forbidden from leaving the country within today...
and about 10 people were summoned for investigation.
There's some speculation that there's a whistleblower...
as the investigation is being conducted faster than expected.
I heard...
the advisors are disobeying the summons.
We are trying to find out the source of the slush fund leakage.
While the unity of the people is needed,
- it's not good... - The unity?
As far as I know, you were in charge of Russian resource development.
You took over a company with the annual sales...
of 10 million dollars for 100 million dollars.
The money was from the Resources Development Corporation.
It's the taxpayers' precious money.
The official rebate is 10 percent.
I just submitted the data...
to the police.
The police said this.
Anyone who cooperates with the investigation...
will be given the benefit of the doubt within the law.
You've traded law for money.
Everything you've done will be revealed to the world.
You will be stripped naked.
If you want to get a towel to cover yourself,
you'll have to answer the summons.
You stupid jerk.
If you listened to me,
you'd have been the owner of Taebaek.
The road you didn't take.
The road my father gave up on.
I'll go on that road.
I'll get punished for what I've done...
and start over.
I don't want the things I do for a living...
to be a crime in this world.
I'll live like that.
Jeong Il, Su Yeon, and you.
You'll have to face each other for an investigation.
The investigation on the slush fund will be stopped at some point.
All the people who run this country are involved in this.
The fire will soon go out.
(Choi Il Hwan is the one who is responsible for the Taebaek-gate.)
I'll chunk up,
so the fire won't go out.
Forget...
that you'll defend Taebaek,
and don't even dream you have a future.
Forget everything.
More than 100 people have been forbidden from leaving the country.
It'll soon be more than 200 people.
I looked over only the half of the data in Taebaek's server.
I had the legal review.
Bribed ruling and slush fund.
It'll be at least five years.
If I were you, I'd have been terrified.
If I were alone,
I'd have been terrified.
When you were reinstated,
you fought against Taebaek as a police officer.
Were you not afraid of doing it?
If I were alone, I'd have been afraid.
I'll set up...
a special investigation team in Taebaek.
I'll need to speed up.
I remember the day when I passed the bar exam.
Even after checking the list of successful applicants,
I kept calling to confirm it.
I wanted to fix justice...
and get rid of injustice.
I remember...
that I was very excited.
Mr. Cho Gyung Ho.
Ms. Hwang Bo Yeon.
I believe you still remember the day...
when you passed the bar exam...
and how you felt that day.
I want you two to manage the internal investigation team.
You've been watching Su Yeon and Jeong Il...
commit crimes.
It'd be easy for you to investigate the data.
Then...
does that mean we will be given a favorable...
No.
You two will be punished too.
I'm just giving you a chance...
to write a letter of apology.
I'm Lee Dong Jun who is temporarily holding absolute power over Taebaek.
Taebaek is now facing a crisis.
The CEO and executives are arrested.
And the investigation on the slush fund...
is aiming at Taebaek in the face.
As an executive with responsibility and authority,
I sincerely apologize that Taebaek was involved...
in such a shameful scandal.
We will conduct an internal investigation.
All the executives and staff are required to cooperate with it.
Anyone who refuses to cooperate...
will be considered an accomplice.
And I will present...
the list to the police.
Kim Sung Sik was murdered at a fishing site in Paju...
at dawn on February 13.
Kang Jeong Il made a full confession of his crime.
You may state the procedure of fabricating and concealing the case.
I came back...
from the fishing site in Choi Su Yeon's car.
I went to...
see Choi Il Hwan with Choi Su Yeon.
It was my mistake.
The body's been sent to the NFS.
Please find a way out for us. Dad. I'm begging you.
The day is dawning.
We need to cover up a lot of things...
before people see them.
Choi Il Hwan controlled the press,
prosecution, and police.
Choi Su Yeon bought off the chief justice.
You've been caught attempting to cover up...
an overcharge of medical expenses made by your mother's sanitarium.
You visited the NHS Corporation.
Lee Dong Jun came to see Choi Il Hwan to be reappointed,
but he knocked Dong Jun out. Is that right?
Do you think you can buy my ruling?
I don't do such a thing.
Use Shin Chang Ho as a stepping stone.
Judge Lee Dong Jun...
declared Shin Chang Ho guilty.
I hereby charge Shin Chang Ho with murder and...
an attempted abandonment of a dead body,
and sentence him to 15 years in prison.
(Written Statement)
This is Kang Jeong Il's written statement.
Let me know if you have an objection to his statement.
(Written Statement)
I don't think he does.
I even turned in...
the sentencing...
which Mr. Lee forged.
Su Yeon.
Dad.
Jin Chul.
File for Ms. Choi's arrest warrant.
Yes.
The murderer is Kang Jeong Il.
Choi Il Hwan covered up the whole thing...
and Choi Su Yeon actively engaged in the incident.
The person who forged the trial per their request is...
Lee Dong Jun.
I will file...
for Lee Dong Jun's arrest warrant.
Lee Dong Jun's arrest warrant is issued.
I'll get the car ready.
(Arrest Warrant)
Today's the 22nd, isn't it?
- Let's go tomorrow. - Yes.
(Arrest Warrant)
I made this doenjang stew with...
your favorite, agastache leaves.
I even made seasoned lotus roots.
I'm not sure if it's perfectly seasoned.
I made this while I was a judge.
I'll put it in a bank under your name.
Should I leave it in there for two years?
How about...
three years?
Do I have to leave it in there for longer than that?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Dong Jun.
I am...
proud of you.
I'm so thankful...
that you get a new start...
because you got to regret...
your decision early on in your life.
Dong Jun, we still have...
many days to live.
Once you get out,
come and...
live in this sanitarium with me.
It's sweet potato cake.
My favorite. How did you know?
I'm Lieutenant Oh Jeong Pil of the Special Unit.
I will be conducting a total seizure and search of Taebaek.
Go around each room and find every document regarding the case.
Make sure you check and see if they destroyed any documents.
May I ask why you are here?
This is an arrest warrant.
(Arrest Warrant)
Mr. Lee Dong Jun.
You are under arrest for forging a trial...
and forming a slush fund.
You have the rights to consult an attorney...
I won't consult an attorney.
What I have done is...
not worth defending.
I will accept the punishment...
as they are asserted by the prosecutor...
and as they are ruled by the judge.
You may choose to remain silent.
Thank you for everything.
Without you,
I would have...
lived for that seat.
Without Mr. Shin,
I would still be...
sharing my room with Su Yeon.
Thank you so much,
Young Ju.
Look at me.
Look at me, Young Ju.
