(Episode 29)
Mr. Woo Jong Ryeol, you are arrested...
for receiving sexual favors and bribes.
Here's the arrest warrant.
An incumbent public prosecutor general...
was shockingly arrested just now...
for receiving sexual favors and bribes.
He is presumed as the man from the leaked sex video...
which has recently been circulating on the internet,
shocking many people.
It's stirring up quite a controversy...
as the rumor of the involvement...
of many powerful high officials in this video turns out to be true.
A press conference of actresses who were forced...
to provide sexual favors at Namwon Restaurant...
is currently scheduled, drawing many people's attention.
Also, a rookie actress who had been kidnapped for the past month...
decided to come out and expose who was behind the incident,
which will likely create quite a stir.
Most people...
whom I entertained recently were...
high officials in the politics and the business world.
Can you disclose their names?
I'm sorry. I will make my testimony...
during the investigation.
Ms. Jang, I believe the man...
who kidnapped you recently died.
Is someone else behind him?
The man who kidnapped and locked me up...
is Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho of Jungjin Group.
Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho of Jungjin Group announced...
the exposure being a false story...
which is completely made up.
He confirmed to take serious legal actions against this.
The estimated number of actresses who went missing or were murdered...
ever since their involvement with Jang Entertainment...
or an affiliated agency, are well over five people.
People are in deep shock...
to find out that the men who were involved in the murders...
of rookie actresses and those who received sexual favors...
were powerful men in politics.
An owner of an affluent company in the top 10 companies...
of this nation is also reported to be involved.
There are over a million petitions urging...
the government to investigate the Jang Entertainment case.
People are in anger as they demand to know the truth.
Since the investigation involves the public prosecutor general,
the police asserted...
that they must lead the investigation of this case.
The prosecution was taken aback,
and is currently under an emergency internal meeting.
(Seo Yeon Ah)
Yes?
(Prosecution Service)
She's not here yet?
If she's not here at this point, things could be pretty bad.
Do you think they will fire her or something?
How long has it been since she went in there?
What happened?
Those jerks.
What did they say?
The prosecution announced the establishment...
of a Special Investigations Unit.
They also firmly stated to find out the whole truth...
about the murder, kidnap, and sex scandal of Jang Entertainment.
Prosecutor Seo Yeon Ah of Criminal Division 3...
is appointed as the leader of the special unit.
Despite outside pressure,
- she insisted on investigating... - What? You got a huge promotion?
as the team leader of the investigation team.
What happened?
The people believe...
You will come with me, right?
Gosh, I don't like being the center of attention.
You're not the type to receive such attention anyway.
Thanks to you, I'll be the center of attention.
- We look alike. - What? Don't be ridiculous.
Until we have our own office,
I'd like to use Lawyer Lee's office.
Mine?
So this is what it means to get something stolen...
right in front of your eyes.
Can a prosecutor abuse her power like this?
How could you take over my office?
Then I'll understand that you said yes out of fear.
I'll meet you guys there starting tomorrow.
For now, please pack up the basic materials.
- Yes, ma'am. - All right.
How were you appointed?
I'm sure the higher-ups tried their best to stop you.
I think Chief Prosecutor Cha pulled some strings.
You...
(Chief Prosecutor Cha Nam Sik)
I fulfilled your favor regarding Yeon Ah,
so let's cover up my case.
Of course.
You won't be interrogated by the Seoul Central District...
Prosecutors’ Office because of this.
That's a given.
Give me my documents.
This is a detailed statement regarding the slush fund...
you received from Bumjung.
This is regarding your sponsor from Hosung.
This is regarding your cover-up...
for Oram Hospital's medical malpractice.
Hey, what are you doing?
Don't address me like that.
We're both assistant prosecutor generals.
What?
Didn't you hear?
New personnel appointments were announced.
You see, I was promoted.
I'm an assistant prosecutor general for Criminal Division 3.
"Criminal Division 3"?
And you were moved to Criminal Division 6.
They deal with all kinds of trivial and annoying matters.
I'm Prosecutor Do Jung Hoon of Criminal Division 1...
at Seoul Eastern District Prosecutors' Office.
You, Joo Man Yong, are under arrest...
for abusing your power and receiving bribes.
Hey, what are you doing?
I thought you said I wouldn't be interrogated.
You're right.
I said you wouldn't be interrogated...
by the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
But they're from the Seoul Eastern District.
Hey, Cha Nam Sik.
Don't touch me!
You...
("Disappeared Actress Returns after 30 Days")
Chairman Song told me to kill your brother...
because he watched the sexual favor video.
Everyone who made the video or watched it...
died.
(Mr. Nam)
The number you have called cannot be reached.
Lawyer Song isn't picking up.
Please keep calling.

(Director Do Hoon Jae)
Hello?
Yes, I saw it.
What do you mean?
From now on,
we're all on our own.
(Ilsin Daily, Shin Il Hoon)
We should take the testimony from Jung Hae Jin separately.
I'll summon her as a testifier.
Will you get Tak Soo Ho involved...
with Jang Entertainment's murder and kidnapping case?
Yes, that way, it won't be easy for him to escape.
Chairman Song didn't actually receive the favors,
so after Jung Hae Jin gets interviewed as a testifier...
(Daily Records)
What are you doing?
I'm turning myself in.
I have been providing sexual favors and sponsorship...
to the members of Namwon Restaurant.
I'm sure you had various ways to get out of this case...
without having to come here and confess.
It's really not that easy to manage a small business...
by myself.
Since I had neither money nor connections,
although I knew it was immoral,
I couldn't bear to refuse the favors from the higher-ups.
Are you telling me...
that you've been providing sexual favors...
because you had no other choice?
Because you had neither money nor connections?
I'm just a subcontractor for a large company.
If I don't listen to them, I won't be able to make money.
"A large company"?
You know very well whom I'm talking about.
You investigated them yourself at Seoul Eastern District...
Prosecutors' Office.
Are you talking about Jungjin?
Seven years ago, due to China's export regulations,
Jungjin was facing some serious hardships.
What saved them...
was Namwon Restaurant.
For the past seven years, they've been providing...
sexual favors and bribes to those in power.
Then they used that to their advantage...
and received great benefits in exchange.
All that evidence...
(Daily Records)
It's all in here.
Look at you. You want to get out of this by yourself.
But then again,
it's probably your safest bet to put the entire blame...
on Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho.
Goodness, no way.
I'm going to take full responsibility for my sins.
It wasn't an easy decision to come here,
but the guilt was killing me.
I'm doing this for our country's justice.
Since we're on that topic, let me ask you another question.
Were you involved in Jang Entertainment's...
kidnappings and murders?
That is something...
I have no idea about.
I'd like to hear the news.
Yes, sir.
Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho of Jungjin Group stated...
that the Namwon Restaurant case has been perverted...
and denied allegations regarding the kidnappings and confinement.
Despite his explanation,
Jungjin Electronics, the main business of Jungjin,
and other subsidiaries have faced a downfall.
Jungjin is currently facing their worst crisis ever.
Will Vice-Chairman Tak falter with this, sir?
Nothing breaks down at once.
They become unstable little by little...
and then get destroyed.
I had expected it,
but I had no idea it'd happen this soon.
What were you thinking when you went to the police?
I'm sure you can get out of it.
I doubt that the Korean judiciary will dare wield...
their sword at Jungjin Group.
So you know.
If you knew so well of that,
why did you make such a rash decision?
You didn't have to come forward about Namwon Restaurant.
There were many ways we could have gotten out of that.
I could have handled them myself,
but...
you had to disclose it to the public.
I can only assume you did that with a bigger picture in mind.
Have you forgotten?
I'd warned you many times.
I don't think we are in any position...
to protect one another.
Of course.
Right now, we should be protecting what we can protect.
Even if it costs our lives.
The man who kidnapped and locked me up...
is Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho of Jungjin Group.
Are you all right?
Yes.
You'll be present when I cross-examine Tak Soo Ho?
You don't have to if you're scared.
You're not obligated to be present.
No.
I'll do it.
This case can be solved only with my help.
We'll be right next to you.
Don't worry too much.
Gosh, you're working so hard.
Goodness. Have a good day.
Hello.
You're Young Mi's grandmother, right?
Do you know my granddaughter?
Of course, I'm a huge fan of hers.
I'm counting the days until she makes it on TV.
Really?
This is a small present from me.
Please give this to her.
And tell her to cheer up.
Goodness, thank you.
I'll make sure I give this to her.
Okay.
Gosh.
He's here.
She's not...
here yet.
How could he use your grandmother to give this to you?
That crazy jerk.
Can a police officer accompany...
my grandmother whenever she goes out?
Yes, I already requested them to accompany her when she goes out.
Thank you.
You know, you don't have to show up for the cross-examination.
You look very shocked.
I think it's better that you stay here today.
No.
I'll go meet him.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Hello. We've never met before.
I read the article.
You don't seem well.
I guess this must be hard on you.
Mr. Tak Soo Ho.
Have you met Ms. Jang Young Mi before?
No, this is my first time meeting her.
Ms. Jang.
Have you met Mr. Tak Soo Ho before?
He locked me up...
and kidnapped me.
Where were you locked up?
I was locked up in the basement of Vice-Chairman Tak Soo Ho's house.
I heard you had a grandmother.
She's well, right?
I hope she stays that way.
Are you all right?
What are you doing?
We need to gather evidence too.
This is legal.
One second.
Stand up.
You jerk.
If I can,
I would love to kill you.
Why?
Is it wrong to ask how her grandmother is doing?
Figures.
A crazy man knowing his insanity would be odd, right?
Do you really think...
you can win this fight?
Yes.
Why? Do you think I won't be able to?
If you thought I was going to lose, forget about it now.
- Where did Jang Young Mi go? - To the hospital with Mr. Ma.
That crazy jerk.
He did that on purpose to provoke her.
I'll request an arrest warrant with Ms. Jang's testimony.
I'm going to the office.
What are you doing?
We need to gather evidence too.
This is legal.
One second.
Stand up.
I turned in the doctor's note from the hospital she was in...
along with the original copy of the video.
Then anyone could see that she's the crazy one.
Of course.
Someone who isn't in her right mind has no power to testify.
Then will they turn down her request for a warrant?
(Psychiatric Evaluation Result)
They made Jang Young Mi look like she's mentally impaired.
With that video?
Yes, that video.
And they turned in a psychiatric evaluation result from a doctor.
On top of that, the judge who grants arrest warrants...
is supposedly someone who's on Jungjin's side.
It might be tough for us to get a warrant...
unless we have hard evidence.
It would be great if Cho's recording can be accepted as evidence.
But he already died, so things are a bit complicated.
I'll look into this.
Okay.
- Mr. Nam. - Yes?
Give me the notarization of Cho Hyun Woo's recording.
The notarization of Cho's recording.
I definitely put it in here.
Why?
It's gone. The written record of the recordings are gone too.
Are you saying someone broke in here?
Come on, no way.
Wait.
- No way. - Why? Do you know anything?
Is Mr. Nam Won Ki here?
- Yes, it's me. - Here.
Do you really think Mr. Song could go that far?
Is he still unreachable?
Did you take the document of the recording that was in here?
Tae Kyung.
We need to talk.
Do you know what you have done?
I will be punished...
for what I've done.
What?
I'm sure my father had no choice.
He wouldn't have done that if he knew...
Tae Ju was my friend.
What did you just say?
Tae Ju?
Tae Ju...
carried my bag for me when this happened to my leg.
He was a friend who protected me from those jerks.
Tae Ju...
Then you knew everything?
How can you erase that?
If you knew how wrongful his death was, how could you...
Yes, exactly.
That's why I'll gladly accept the punishment I deserve later on.
What about you?
Did you use me when you knew about everything?
You used me to torment my father.
That's why you told me to read the journal.
That's why you told me to ask him about Cho Hyun Woo.
Did you ever feel guilty...
while doing that to me?
Why should I feel guilty? Why?
Do you know what your father did to my brother?
Why?
Did you think I would be in pain? No way.
I was thrilled to make good use of you.
I truly hope you and your father are tormented to the point of death.
Then what you did was enough.
I'll continue to be tormented in the future.
I'll stop coming to work just as you wish.
