Untouchable Episode 12
Jung Yoon Mi, you are saying that you don't want to slander your opponent and want to run a clean campaign.
-This is what you have stated, correct? -Yes, that's correct.
But today, you are here to expose something....
Doesn't this conflict with your public statements thus far?
I'm not here for slander or negative advertising.
I'm here to correct a misunderstanding that the citizens of Bukcheon have about its history.
I see.
These are copies of documents from Japan's official archives regarding Jang Sung Joo.
By Jung Sung Joo, you mean the grandfather of the candidate Jang Gi Seo?
The one who became mayor after the liberation of Korea.
Yes, that's right.
So what does this say?
Right before Japan surrendered... [ Japanese Government Document Relevant to Jang Seong Joo, Chief Warden of Bukcheon Prison ]
It's a report that a Bukcheon soldier had sent to Japanese government. [ - Jang Seong Joo tortured independent fighter - Enforce changing Korean names to Japanese names - Imprison land owners' children and take bail money ]
Yes.
According to the report, Jang Seong Joo was working as the Chief Warden to the Bukcheon Prison.
Using his position, the independent fighters or land owners who were imprisoned at the time...
He tortured and coerced them...
He took away their land.
In one word, Jang Seong Joo was pro-Japan?
That's correct.
The deceased Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho...
has always said that his father was a great leader who worked on bringing up Bukcheon thus far.
So in the end, you are saying that former mayor Jang Beom Ho deceived the citizens of Bukcheon.
Yes, the citizens of Bukcheon...
have been thoroughly deceived by three generations of the Jang family.
This is a fabrication!
This is fabricated history and an insult to my family!
That could become evidence and not just a fabrication.
If you are certain, you can sue them for libel.
Should we sue?
The more we respond, the more we may be dragged through the mud.
But since they messed with our family...
we just need to pay them back in the same way.
Hey there, are you okay?
Don't worry. I'm a police officer.
Don't come near me. I'm a prosecutor.
Hey!
What's going on here?
I'm a police officer.
Don't you trust a police officer?
I told you I'm the police.
The customer's phone is turned off...
I understand.
The hospital said there is no record of Prosecutor Seo getting checked there.
-What about the prosecutor's office? -I already checked there.
What happened?
The police officers seemed a bit suspicious...
but they're police...
Do you know the safest way to kill a person and move the corpse?
You use an ambulance.
Team Leader Go, you know where Prosecutor Seo lives, right? Could you go there and check?
Okay. It looks like that's what we'll have to do.
You go with him.
Okay.
If something went wrong, that would mean there was a leak.
Why are you looking at me?
Why are you being so suspicious?
You like money. You said so yourself!
So you're that I leaked information for money?!!
You and Prosecutor Seo were the only two people that saw the black box video.
Forget it.
Why didn't you send the evidence footage when I asked you to email it to me?
This is so frustrating. I'm gonna go crazy!
Who's there?
Prosecutor, this is Team Leader Go.
You're inside, right?
Yes.
Please open the door.
No, not today.
I don't want to see anybody. Please leave.
Prosecutor...Prosecutor...
I told you I'm the police.
Let the team leader know that the prosecutor is safe.
Okay.
It's busy.
Prosecutor Seo isn't the only one who has the black box footage.
What do you mean?
I kept one for myself too.
Where is it? Bring it here quickly.
But what should I do?
Something urgent has just come up.
What is it?
My mom got conned out of a lot of money.
Knowing my mom, she'll die if I leave her alone.
So... what are you saying we should do?
What do you mean what should we do?
I'll head straight over as soon as I get enough money to keep my mom alive.
How much is it?
Use your imagination.
You understand my general situation, right? I'll be waiting for your call.
If the phones are indeed tapped, there should be a quick response from Yong Hak Soo.
Is there a way to confirm this immediately?
A person won't know unless a specialist looks at it.
But you can get an idea.
Usually, when a phone is tapped, the software is installed the minute you opened up the file.
If Yong Hak Soo has received something, you can be suspicious.
What is the reason for revealing Jung Hye's true identity to me?
To help you heal as soon as possible.
Prosecutor Seo is safe at home.
Is she definitely okay?
She doesn't seem to be physically harmed.
Yong Hak Soo better try and contact us or I'll have no choice but to suspect you.
I guess I have to reveal it.
Reveal what?
I told you before. I have a copy too.
Don't misunderstand.
I was going to email this to you but Prosecutor Seo stopped me so I sent it to my own email account.
Prosecutor Seo begged me not to show this to you.
But I'm showing this to you to prove my innocence.
Team Leader...
A mountain is a mountain and a river is a river.
So even if a typhoon comes at you...
I'm on a mountain... I'm at the river... Try to remember this and stay calm.
-So don't... -What a ridiculously long explanation!
What should I do when this is done?
Tell the police it was just an accident. I'll take care of the rest and get you out.
I understand.
Then I'll just trust you, Director Yong Hak Soo.
Hello?
This is police officer Goo Do Soo, right?
Yes, but who are you?
My name is Yong Hak Soo.
What is the reason for your call?
Let's meet.
Prosecutor! Prosecutor!
We need to talk, prosecutor!
Prosecutor, please! Prosecutor!
The situation has become urgent.
The team leader saw the black box footage.
But I...
Officer Goo had sent another copy by email.
The problem is, the team leader went to confront Yong Hak Soo by himself.
Knowing Joon Seo, if he saw that footage...
he will probably kill Yong Hak Soo.
He held a gun to his own head after his wife's death.
If he saw his wife die in that video, this is an emergency situation.
This is very serious, prosecutor.
So what... what do you want me to do?
Please leave me out of this. Whether they kill each other or not has nothing to do with me!
He is not somebody you guys can stop. Step aside.
Stop it!
Move.
I'm here on official duty right now.
You are saying nothing was caught on the surrounding CCTV.
Yes.
There was a time when I ran out of the house.
At that time, none of the guards were at their positions.
I'm talking about that day, THAT day!
Yes, I remember that.
But no matter how much we searched, we couldn't find any suspicious activity anywhere.
I got it.
You can leave.
Things are going well with Gi Seo's mayoral race, right?
Feel free to ask me if anything difficult comes up.
I'll take care of it.
Okay. I know you are fully capable of doing this on your own.
This is the land I had set aside for your construction work.
You said your plan was to become like Jang Beom Ho, right?
Yes.
Down there at the end, in front of the road...
an international financial center will soon be built.
This hasn't been revealed yet so Beom Ho and I were the only two who knew about it.
This means a new city will be formed here.
Surrounding the international financial center will be..
the core of the new Bukcheon, a city of the gods.
Did you know about this?
Fine. You must have known this when you decided to make Gi Seo mayor.
When a new town is built, all the permits issued is up to the Bukcheon city.
But if you want to become like Jang Beom Ho, as you have planned...
You first have to transfer that land to your name.
You know, right?
It's cold out dad. Let's go inside.
Okay.
It won't be as easy as you think.
You admit to ordering the murder of Yoon Jung Hye, correct?
Prosecutor, I told you clearly...
My defendant does not admit to any of your charges.
At that time, why couldn't you kill me like you did to Jung Hye unnie?
You had ample opportunity to kill me.
Why? Is it because I'm a prosecutor?
But what will we do? You are now going to have to kill a prosecutor of the Republic of Korea.
The only way you can escape the sins you have committed will be to kill Prosecutor Seo I Ra of the Bukcheon Prosecutors Office.
Thanks to Jang Seong Joo, I think the support from the Progressives have been secured for us.
The problem is the Conservatives who are completely supporting the other side.
In order to change their votes, it's his father Jang Beom Ho, not his grandfather, that we need to tear down.
Thankfully, I heard that your daughter has been hard at work digging up dirt on Jang Beom Ho.
I look forward to your daughter's efforts.
Prosecutor Seo I Ra will reveal that father is behind Yong ahjusssi no matter what.
That way her mother will win the election, because that's what Joon Seo wants.
I don't think you need to worry about that. He will never open his mouth.
How do you think the trial will go?
I'm not sure, the evidence is very clear.
Because the evidence is clear is why I paid so much money to hire you.
You didn't eat yet, right?
The first hearing is tomorrow so I don't have time to eat. Just leave it and go.
Okay.
Do you think Yong Hak Soo will reveal that Jang Beom Ho is the main actor?
Why are you asking that?
That has to be revealed in order for the people of Bukcheon to know that Jung Hye died unjustly.
It can also be the way to reveal the deaths of our officers.
The reason you ran for mayor...
was to reveal the deaths of Jung Hye and the officers, right?
That's right.
If Yong Hak Soo were to reveal that Jang Beom Ho ordered all the murders...
won't everything get resolved?
Then you wouldn't have any reason to run for mayor.
Don't misunderstand me. I'm not doing this for you.
Especially not for your greed for power.
I'm not greedy for power.
Seo I Ra...
If I'm hindering your work as a prosecutor,
I can give up on being mayor.
I mean that.
I can't concentrate. Just leave please.
I'm begging you.
You won't regret this, right?
You also saw it, Jung Hye's death.
Of course I have to do it.
These photos were taken by a fisherman the day after the boating accident of several Bukcheon City police officers.
The corpse was later identified as Kim Woo Sang of the Bukcheon Maritime Corporation.
This is a photo of Yoon Dong Pil, who was on that boat, and his daughter Yoon Jung Hye.
When you compare these two pictures, you can see that the label looks exactly the same in both pictures.
Why would Yoon Dong Pil's corpse have been switched with that of a Bukcheon Maritime Corporation employee?
Yoon Jung Hye discovered that her father's death was disguised as an accident.
She then tried to expose it.
You are currently a Director at the Bukcheon Maritime Corporation, correct?
Yes.
Yoon Jeong Hye knew that Yoon Dong Pil's death was connected to Bukcheon Maritime Corporation.
The defendant who was the executive director of Bukcheon Maritime Corporation had no choice but to murder Yoon Jeong Hye to hide his crime.
The defendant worked over 20 years under the Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho.
I heard he was pretty much a family member.
Yes.
Are you someone who can kill a person if Jang Beom Ho asked you to?
Your Honor!
Yes.
I'd kill a person if he asked me to.
He said he can kill?
Then, are you admitting that the person who ordered you to Yoon Jeong Hye is Jang Beom Ho?
I'd kill a person if he asked me to.
He said he can kill?
Then, are you admitting that the person who ordered you to Yoon Jeong Hye is Jang Beom Ho?
He... never ordered me to kill a person.
If you committed the murder without his order, it means you'll be responsible for the crime alone.
Please keep that in mind.
When did you find out that Yoon Jeong Hye was using your name, Jo Min Joo?
[ Witness ]
I found that out while the police was investigating me.
What kind of investigation was it?
The police said that I requested a murder with an agency under the name Jo Min Joo.
That's when I realized that someone was using my name.
That's all.
They beat us to the punch.
You'll know when you read this, but they're saying Prosecutor Seo I Ra is investigating with an intent. [ Investigating Bukcheon Maritime Corporation right before the election. What is the Prosecutors' Office's intent? ]
She's clearly revealing that she's your daughter.
It would be a relief if Prosecutor Seo I Ra reveals that Jang Beom Ho is behind Yong Hak Soo.
But if she doesn't...
If in case the corruption that your daughter dug up is found to be lacking evidence during the trial...
Do you know that they'll accuse me of slandering the opposing candidate in order to help my mother's election?
If you put it on your nose, it will be a nose ring. If you hang it on your ears, they'll be your earrings.
The politicians love that adage during the election.
They'll make an issue out of Prosecutor Seo I Ra somehow.
I enjoyed the article.
Do you like it?
I'll have to ask you for the follow up article as well.
Don't worry.
I'll be prepared and release the article as soon as the result of the trial comes out.
See you at the meeting.
Witness, do you know Yoon Jeong Hye?
Yes.
How do you know her?
She married my brother. Of course, I know her.
Did you also know that Yoon Jeong Hye married your brother under the false name Jo Min Joo?
Yes.
I knew that she was a threat to my brother.
That woman threatened us with an unbelievable fact.
When that didn't work, she approached my brother with a fake name.
If she hadn't died in an accident, I'm sure my brother would've been killed in her hands.
Jang Joon Seo, you a**hole...
Do you know President Jang Gi Seo of Bukcheon Maritime Corporation?
You remember the oath you just took?
If you testify falsely, you can be punished for perjury.
Yes, I know him.
On September 17, 2017, you had reported President Jang Gi Seo to the Bukcheon police for sexual assault and you withdrew, right?
Yes.
Please look at the monitor.
This is a photo taken after Yoon Jeong Hye's death.
Do you see the tattoo?
I'm sure this same tattoo is also on your shoulder.
Your Honor, this information has nothing to do with the case.
That is not true. If there is a tattoo on the witness' shoulder...
It proves that President Jang Gi Seo harmed the witness as a payback for reporting him to the police for sexual assault.
And if the same tattoo as Yoon Jeong Hye's is on her...
It means the Jang family is directly connected to the murder of Yoon Jeong Hye.
Let's confirm this.
Joon Seo!
You just have to do what I ask you to do!
Why do you keep going against it?
Yoon Jeong Hye... Was she that important to your life?
Please put up the screen.
Oh!
Witness, what happened?
I burned myself cooking by mistake.
Now, there's no reason to be intimidated. We're just starting. Fighting!
Fighting!
Team Leader, what are you doing? You should step up at a time like this and raise their spirits.
It was just a first court day.
There's still more court days and we have second and third trials.
Here. We will win.
One shot!
- One shot! - One shot!
One shot!
We brought our guard down too much just because we had such a firm evidence.
We have to defeat Yong Hak Soo first. Then, we'll see what's behind him.
We need a more complete verification of Yong Hak Soo.
Let's think we're at the beginning and let's start over.
First, why don't you fill my glass?
Keep going, keep going... ah, what's this?
Pl... please... spare me...
Please spare me!
When I'm with you, I feel like there are two of us.
Were you trying to run away?
I don't have anywhere to go. Don't kill me.
Who do you think I am?
I'm really sorry. I'll never do it again. Please forgive me just this once. Please.
You have a family and a wife.
We did things that would be misunderstood.
Let me live in peace.
I don't have a place to go.
When I told myself that, it really felt like I didn't have a place to go.
They said I can't get rid of it.
I can't get rid of the tattoo nor the pain I received from you.
I burned myself cooking by mistake.
The trial went well, right?
Yeah.
Then, I guess things regarding Jeong Yoon Mi will go over well.
I read the article. You worked hard, too.
I have a request. No, I guess I'd have to call it a deal, not a request.
A deal?
But why won't you talk specifically about what happened that day, Prosecutor Seo?
What?
I'm curious, too. You said they took the original black box content.
You went with the police. How did they take it away from you?
When I saw you that day at home, it seemed as if you were extremely traumatized.
Something happened, right?
Tell us honestly.
Well...
While I was getting my blood test at the hospital, someone stole it.
It was a mistake. My mistake.
I had called the hospital, too.
Why does it feel like an interrogation?
I'm a prosecutor and you guys are detectives. A detective is supervised by a prosecutor in an investigation. Don't you know?
When a prosecutor says so, the detective must do and follow as told.
How could there be a good cooperation between Prosecutor's Office and the police force?
Team Leader... I think our prosecutor should be excluded from getting involved in our work directly. It's dangerous.
That's right. You just go back to your office, Prosecutor.
Just leave all this dangerous work to us who have gone through thick and thin.
Please go.
No, I can't. I can never.
I'm part of this team.
Hyung, let's exclude Prosecutor Seo.
I think the police force was brought out in this case. Just in case...
Just like your wife...
Prosecutor Seo.
Don't think about leaving me out at this point.
If you exclude me, I'll arrest all of you for illegal investigation.
Why are you so obsessed with this case?
You can just quit it.
The reason I must take care of this case myself is...
I also...
want to become the prosecutor general someday.
As for a prosecutor...
You can't become successful by just working hard all the time.
You have to be on a big case like this and become famous in the press...
You have to become a star prosecutor, then you can climb up the ladder.
On top of that, if I win the case...
Then, I'll be flying high without a limit.
- Central Prosecutors' Office and the next is the Supreme Prosecutors' Office... - Yeah! Right!
And the next is... the Office of Prosecutor General.
You should be good to me from now on.
Yes!
Prosecutor General Seo!
Okay!
Prosecutor, you have a drinking habit.
I guess I'll have to become the President.
The land that was reserved for the expo... Change the title to my name.
I believe I finished talking about that with your father.
That land is a bomb about to blow up with all kinds of corruption. If it explodes, you can't become a mayor.
If I put your name on it, I can avoid that bomb?
Is that the reason? To make me a mayor?
I also want to be the next person in line after you in this household.
I'll think about it.
I understand how you feel. You have no trust in me.
But this isn't about trust.
As I told you earlier, it's a deal between you and me.
I'll give you a collateral.
So that I can't betray you.
Okay.
Director Jang Gi Ho, I have a few things to confirm with you.
Yes, go ahead.
When my dad was growing burdensome of Ahn Jin Gyeong who was working with him during the campaign,
Who's the one who said she needs to be killed?
And the person who personally ordered the murder to Joo Tae Seop?
That was...
You can just say the facts as you know them.
If you feel too burdensome too answer me, just say yes or no.
It was me, right?
I, Goo Ja Gyeong, ordered it, right?
Yes, that's correct.
You received my order, you personally met Joo Tae Seo, Jang Gi Ho...
You specifically told him to murder Ahn Jin Gyeong, right?
Yes, that's right.
That's all. Leave now.
You made a mistake.
You stepped on a rat, not a worm.
You received the file, right? Check it.
I'll give you a collateral.
It was me, right? I, Goo Ja Gyeong, ordered it, right?
The rest of my life is the collateral. And that's in your hands.
I thank you. For dealing with me.
I said I'm okay.
Rather than buying that...
Buy this.
Stop drinking. You drank too much.
I'm the police.
You don't trust the police?
What?
What's wrong?
Ah... nothing.
If it's nothing, what's wrong?
No, please don't ask me. It's embarrassing.
Just hide me for a moment. Just for a moment.
Chief No Ji Hwan will do anything at the request of Gi Seo hyung.
Tell me. What exactly happened that day?
What did that SOB do to you, Prosecutor Seo? Tell me.
I thought of Jeong Hye unni.
How afraid she must've been to walk around the streets...
I'm sure she crossed the streets alone...
And I'm sure she ran into strangers in the elevators.
How afraid she must've been.
They just took the evidence.
The fact that I was taken so loosely as a prosecutor...
I was so embarrassed and hurt my pride. That's why I didn't tell you.
But no matter how I think about it, it's so unfair.
Why did I have to go through that?
No matter how much I think about it, there's no reason for it.
It's just that... It'll be fine as long as you're not by my side.
You just have to watch me from afar.
I really hate the look that says you can't understand it at all.
I really hate it.
I'll give it back to you tomorrow. I'm cold.
I'm leaving.
I'll take you home.
It's okay. Just stay there. I beg you. Please.
You look like you're suffering.
That's why. Because it's so hard, please let me go alone.
I'm not saying I'm not coming, Unni.
I have quite a few things to wrap up.
It will be over soon. Yeah.
Just wait a little longer. Okay.
Thanks and sorry.
You must have a lot to say to me.
I don't.
I just wanted to have a drink at my house.
Why does it have to be a prosecutor? With your grades, you can become a judge.
I take after you, Mom.
What?
I'm full of ambition just like you, Mom.
Seo I Ra, being a prosecutor doesn't suit you.
Mom, you know that President Goo Yong Chan used to be a prosecutor, right?
He's from Bukcheon, too. Is there a rule that says I can't be the second Goo Yong Chan?
What? You should've waken me up if you came in.
I'm late.
Let's both give it up.
I'll give up the mayor election. You give up on that trial, too.
Why all of a sudden? For the people of Bukcheon, for the justice in Bukcheon...
You have to become the mayor.
You're more important to me.
I'm sorry. I can't give up.
I also have someone who's important to me.
These are the guys who Park Tae Jin covered up for while he was a detective manager.
I'm sure they're tied to Yong Hak Soo.
[ Suspect Information Joo Tae Seop ]
This man. Is he a cop by any chance?
What are you saying? He's a murderer.
What?
[ Suspect Information Joo Tae Seop ]
Joo Tae Seop.
Why are you showing stuff like this to Prosecutor Seo?
Excuse me.
You focus on the trial only. We'll deal with guys like this.
Find out their current whereabouts and let me know.
Okay.
Where are you going?
I have some work to do at the Prosecutors' Office.
Where are you going? I have something to show you.
Please get your approval from your high and mighty team leader first.
When he approves, then report to me.
What? Wait...
What is it?
I found out that Yong Hak Soo has been registered as a executive director at another company besides Bukcheon Maritime Corporation.
Another company? What kind of company is it?
NJ Group.
[ Legal Affairs Kim Sang Beom NJ Estates ]
What is this about?
With our company, Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho...
It's a copy of the contract that he signed last March.
What kind of contract is it?
It's about the land where the expo was to take place.
And it says?
Uncle loaned 500 billion won from NJ and used the expo land as collateral.
If he can't pay the money, it says NJ will confiscate the ownership of the land.
What kind of company is NJ Group?
It's real estate company in Japan.
With its private resources, we invest in real estate in Japan and internationally.
Who is the CEO?
CEO Harimoto.
Harimoto?
The owner of Heugryeongdo. Harimoto Ichiro.
It's a video clip that was captured at a CCTV location where Joo Tae Seop resided for a short time.
He doesn't live here anymore.
You can get the license plate number on this car, right?
Yes.
- Place him on the Wanted List. - Okay.
I'm the police.
You don't trust the police?
Joo Tae Seop.
- I got it. You can leave now. - Okay.
[ Jang Beom Ho ]
Jang Beom Ho...
Harimoto Ichiro.
I got it. I appreciate your cooperation.
It's true that NJ Group's Chairman is Harimoto.
Yong Hak Soo is registered as NJ Group's executive director.
And the chairman of NJ Group is Harimoto.
But the current owner of Heugryeongdo is Harimoto?
He's the man behind Yong Hak Soo.
Could we find out specific information about Harimoto?
I don't think they have much information on him. Close to none.
They only know that he showed up at a funeral of someone big in Japan's underground economy.
He had parked the car long term yesterday and today. But he left about 30 minutes ago.
- 30 minutes ago? - Yes.
Former Jang Beom Ho...
If it's someone whom he'd turn over the Heugryeongdo which has all of his secrets...
Doesn't it say that the relationship between Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho and this person is very close?
If they're close enough to share the secret that he couldn't even share with his own family, it means they were closer than family.
I know. As soon as Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho died, Yong Hak Soo...
stuck next to the best friend of Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho, Harimoto.
This is what it looks like happened.
We can wrap it up like that, but it doesn't match the person Yong Hak Soo that I know.
Jang Beom Ho?
Hey, stop! Stop!
Who was that?
Prosecutor Seo I Ra of Bukcheon Prosecutors' Office.
[ Untouchable ]
I didn't dream nor did I see a ghost. I saw him clearly with clear mind.
Former Mayor Jang Beom Ho who is alive.
We'll have to take care of some of the surroundings that we've been pushing off. [ Dongpa Hospital Director Yoo Je Seung ]
You can't take me to a hospital in Bukcheon.
Is he by chance...
Are you sure my father passed away that day?
Jeong Yoon Mi's side is spreading rumor that you're having an affair.
Would it be okay if I took care of it?
I must win. So that my family won't get trampled on.
- Are you in the right state of mind? - I'll find him and show him to you.
Please tell the person who saw my father.
Things will get even more dangerous from now on.
That something bad will happen to him if he spreads false rumor like that again.
