(Episode 20)
Dae Jin.
You can stop coming.
All of a sudden? What are you saying, Tae Kyung?
Because I feel uncomfortable.
I hired you against my will when your father asked me to,
but as you know,
we don't have much work to do in this office.
Did something happen between you and my father?
What are you saying?
I think that's the reason why you're suddenly letting me go.
Jang Young Mi?
Who's this person you mentioned?
Ask your father.
He knows her very well.
Hey.
Well...
I don't think Mr. Song knows anything.
He should know at this point.
I looked into the real owner of Namwon Restaurant,
and it was an employee of Jungjin Group.
Here's what's even weirder.
Look.
Don't worry about that.
Over the last few decades, no one in this country...
could lay a finger on us.
I apologize.
I should have managed this well.
That jerk already has his hands on the documents.
What if he tells the press?
This is quite uncomfortable.
Don't worry about it.
I'll make sure the press doesn't make an issue out of this.
Chairman Song has never made a mistake to this day.
I'm sure he'll manage this well.
He seemed completely insane.
Don't worry.
He won't be able to do that.
Hello.
Long time no see.
Are you here to eat?
Yes.
I came because I heard this place is great,
and it's really good.
I'm Lawyer Lee Tae Kyung.
Please take a seat.
What is it?
You work for Jungjin Electronics, don't you?
Yes.
You bought this building seven years ago. Correct?
Yes.
Come to think about it, you two must be well-acquainted.
He works for Jungjin.
Vice-Chairman Tak.
Oh, you work for my company?
Jungjin must pay a fortune for their employees.
He bought this building as soon as he got employed...
when he couldn't even pay back his interests before.
Who is...
the real owner of this restaurant?
Mr. Song, I need to go out for a moment.
Goodbye.
Mr. Nam.
Yes? Go ahead.
By any chance, is Jang Young Mi...
Never mind. You should go.
Sure.

Reporter?
Are you saying that if I told them,
I'd be able to find Young Mi?
Yes.
The more she gets exposed to the media,
the higher the chance that polices will find her.
Is that so?
What do I need to do?
Please find my dear Young Mi.
First, let me record this.
It must be rough.
It's indescribable.
My poor baby...
First,
tell me in detail about how she went missing.
Tell me.
She's probably alive, right?
Yes.
I'm sure...
she's alive.
(Audio file)
Please find my dear Young Mi.
Young Mi!
Stop the car.
I'll walk from here.
We meet again.
What?
Let me.
It's all right.
I was on my way to the prosecutors' office anyway.
Thank you.
Hold on.
I'm fine.
I'm almost done.
Are they not even enough?
Thank you.
Dad.
Your drinks are ready.
I didn't know when I was young,
but Prosecutor Seo is quite charming.
Are you visiting the hospital regularly?
Do you think I can get better?
Of course, I do.
You knew how I was since I was young.
My father was always worried about that.
It was nothing.
Kids can do that.
Is that so?
Don't worry. I've become much better.
That's a relief.
By the way,
what will you do about your daughter?
I have a favor to ask of you.
What is it?
You know the Ahyeon-dong Murder Case...
from seven years ago that Prosecutor Seo is digging into,
right?
Of course, I do.
Please stop her...
from digging any further.
Is it the same reason why you stopped me...
from digging into it seven years ago?
I only had my speculations back then.
But this time, I'm certain.
Do you mean the culprit?
No.
The "mastermind" seems to be the more accurate word.
Once I pass the hearing,
I'm going to take care of it when the time comes.
But before then,
there are too many people who'll get hurt.
Are you home, Dad?
Where have you been all this time?
I have so many cases to cover.
But I need to head out immediately after getting changed.
I have something to deal with.
Must you take charge of this case?
You haven't found a single lead and have been going around in circles.
Neglecting the other cases that need to be solved...
is also a dereliction of duty.
I'm looking into the other cases as well.
That's odd.
You've never told me to give up on a case before.
I just don't want you to overlook more important cases...
because of your persistence and rashness.
It won't be easy...
to find the answer to this case.
You should stop now.
This scroll says...
"When walking across a snowy field,"
"make sure you don't make a mess."
Didn't you say...
you carried this scroll around since you first became a prosecutor?
I won't stop digging into this case.
So many powerless girls...
were sacrificed without even knowing why.
It's not an easy case.
If I give up,
they will die in vain.
I know what you're worried about.
But please trust me.
Your hearing is tomorrow. Aren't you nervous?
I'll just go with the flow.
Dong Il.
Please open the door.
Dong Il.
Please open the door.
(My grandma doesn't even go to the hospital because of the money.)
(Subject: Untitled)
I skipped my meals...
and walked for two hours to save bus fare...
and had a nosebleed.
I still need to hold out.
I need to save every single penny.
- My grandma doesn't even go... - You should rest.
to the hospital because of the money.
- My career has to take off soon. - Stop it. You must be tired.
Why is it so hard to get a chance?
Goodness.
Do you think Lee Dong Il will change his mind?
Yes, he will.
He must've been scared after getting beaten up like that.
He will muster up his courage.
She's someone he likes, after all.
I'm jealous of Young Mi.
A man I knew ran away...
because he was scared.
Running away...
could have been the most courageous decision.
Am I...
locked up here because of that USB?
Namwon Restaurant?
You watched it?
I won't tell a soul about what I saw.
I'll take it to the grave.
So please let me go.
You weren't supposed to...
watch it.
Okay.
(Recent Calls)
(Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho)
It's me.
We have a problem.
Please let me go.
I'm begging you.
I promise I won't tell anyone.
I won't tell anyone about the USB.
When I was young,
I was scolded...
for torturing people because it was considered impolite.
But back then, I couldn't understand that.
Why must I be polite to people?
Everyone can't wait to please me and is intimidated by me.
That's why I started to torture people in secret,
so no one finds out.
You're crazy.
Let me go. Please let me go.
Please let me go.
My grandma is waiting for me.
Exactly.
(Audio file)
Please find...
my dear Young Mi.
Young Mi!
- Young Mi! - What did you do?
What did you do to my grandma?
What did you do to her?
What did you do?
What did you do to her?
(Audio file)
My poor baby.
She's probably alive, right?
She will come back to me...
no matter what for my sake.
I'm sure she'll come back home...
because she knows I'm waiting for her.
- Young Mi. - Grandma.
Grandma.
Grandma!
Where is that USB?
This is crazy.
I stayed up all night long,
but I still look stunning. How does this make sense?
Seeing you bragging about yourself in the morning is quite refreshing.
I know.
I managed to pull an all-nighter while looking pretty.
Why do you talk like that?
Did you stay here all night?
Are you all right?
I'm sorry. We couldn't think to protect you.
You'll find Young Mi no matter what, right?
Yes. We'll find her no matter what. Please believe in us.
I have some photos of her diaries.
I found a part that doesn't make sense.
Seven years ago, the day after Choi Soo Jeong's death,
Young Mi...
She met up with Lee Ju Hyeon who had gone missing.
She's a close friend of Choi Soo Jeong.
And she was a trainee.
Ju Hyeon came to see me.
She left after giving me a music box.
I want you to keep it safe...
until I come back for this.
Why did she give me this music box?
Music box?
Music box.
(Damaged Item: Crystal music box)
The music box.
The music box?
I think I know where that USB is.
Yes, Detective Ma.
Okay, I'm on my way now.
He can't reach Jung Hae Jin.
I'll head to Jang Entertainment now.
Hae Jin?
You don't think...
Hae Jin has gone missing too, right?
We'll try to find her.
I think the USB is in Jang Young Mi's house.
I'll head over there.
I'll call you soon.
Be careful.
Something is going on with Jung Hae Jin.
She's not answering her phone.
And she didn't show up for the filming either.
Let's go to her house. You said she lived alone, right?
Yes.
Stop right there! Hey!
Put your hands in the air, jerk.
(Device Autoplay)
(Namwon Restaurant)
This video is...
recorded to expose selling sexual favors.
We're Choi Soo Jeong and Lee Ju Hyeon, aspiring actresses.
The press,
the prosecution, a banker,
and an assemblyman is here with us.
There is nothing we should fear...
in this country, isn't that right?
Do whatever you want, okay?
No one will dare to lay a finger on us.
You.
How dare you?
If someone like you...
died tonight, no one in this world would find out.
Those jerks.
I lost the USB.
If you don't let Jang Young Mi go,
the rest of the matter will be exposed too.
No, thanks. I like her.
Vice-Chairman Tak.
She's very haughty...
and charming in that she just won't give up.
I think I can play with her for quite a while.
This might put you in danger too.
Then it means you'll be in danger too.
Here.
- This is Seo Yeon Ah... - I want to make a report...
about the prostitution at Namwon Restaurant.
Namwon Restaurant?
Yes.
I was involved in the prostitution myself.
(Bumjung Construction)
Manager Choi told you, didn't he?
The video of Namwon Restaurant members receiving sexual favors.
So what?
If you don't let Jang Young Mi go,
that video will be exposed.
I don't think I can do that, Tae Kyung.
(Prosecutor's Office, Seo Yeon Ah)
You were involved in prostitution yourself?
Yes.
Do you remember who the man was?
I do.
I remember.
Who was it?
(Seo Dong Suk, Minister of Justice)
Seo Dong Suk, a candidate...
for the Minister of Justice.
Please say something.
- Please leave a word with us. - Say something.
- Mr. Seo, a word. - Say something.
- Please tell us something. - Do say something.
- Do you have anything to say? - Tell us something.
What did you say?
I gave sexual favors...
to the Minister of Justice, Seo Dong Suk.
(Justice)
What happened in there?
He was such a dirty and foul human being.
A daughter is investigating her father's sexual corruption?
I can't let you hold a knife that will end up getting pointed my way.
I wanted to see you.
Even with her father at stake?
I will not give up on this case, even if I must risk my life.
The time is now. Do you want to leave with me?
Let's leave together.
You need to make Prosecutor Seo stop here.
Do not ever mention my daughter's name again.
You're one persistent guy. This is getting annoying.
I really love Seo Yeon Ah.
I want to keep seeing you two.
