[Hide]

Jae Pil, you're a true friend.

You should've explained
your situation to me.

You thought I
wouldn't understand?

Thank you, Heo Jae Pil.

Drink up.

Let me pour you another one.

My daughter and
I are about to die.

Stop whining!

Hey, that's enough now!

Hey, hey. Let's
just both die today!

Die, b*stard!

- Hey, come to your senses.
- Get up.

Get up!

Hey, Jae Pil! Please stop!

What will you do
with my life? My life-

Jae Pil!

Jae Pil!

Stay there!

I'll come get you!

Moon Yeong.

Na Moon Yeong,

listen carefully.

The day after tomorrow, go to the
police station and ask them to look for me.

The cliff you and
I went to before.

Tell them I died there.

I need to die for
you to survive.

Is this your father?

[Hide]

Dad.

Mr. Ha Jae Pil.

Is that you?

Moon Yeong.

[Cheongwon District Prosecutors'
Office - Haejeon Branch]

I sent the syringe and the drug
to the National Forensic Service.

They said the autopsy report will
come out quickly, too. [Episode 9]

By the way, Geumshin
has been quiet.

I'm sure they want Chairman
Choi's death to go unnoticed.

Ha Jae Pil, this man committed
all sorts of petty crimes.

as*ault, fraud, and
obstruction of justice.

They might insist it
was a simple overdose.

But he happened to die in time when
Geumshin's stock value plummeted.

Choi h* Shik must've
ordered Ha Yeon Joo to k*ll him.

I'll use this opportunity to catch
both Ha Yeon Joo and Choi h* Shik.

So you'd better
not represent him.

You might get screwed.

Since when was Mr. Ha
Jae Pil Ha Yeon Joo's father?

What do you mean, since when?

Probably when she was born.

Well...

I was wondering if...

they confirmed
he was her father.

She's exactly like her father.

The fingerprints match, and
there's no name change record.

The family registry
hasn't changed, either.

Hey, I told you not to represent
him. Why won't you answer?

Ha Yeon Joo's
father, Ha Jae Pil.

The body I confirmed


the real Ha Jae Pil, right?

- Did you also- -
It was an accident.

It was an accident.

I never k*lled anyone.

What difference does that make?

I said someone
else's body was yours.

And I tried not to wonder
who that man was.

Calling it an accident...

won't make everything
just go away.

How about...

Choi Moo Won, then?

That was an accident, too?

I just gave him
a shot, as usual.

I've always done it while
caring for the Chairman.

I was told to give him a
shot when he hyperventilates.

I was trying to save him.

I didn't know this would happen.

And I don't know why
you're representing me...

His family
requested to join you.

Could you tell me your
strategy for winning?

You finally reunited
with your father.

You can't part ways again.

You wanted this from
the beginning, didn't you?

Because the person I have to
defend isn't your father, Ha Jae Pil,

but my father, Na Seok Jin.

You...

don't know anything.

- Ha Yeon Joo.
- Yes?

Do I have to dye
your fingernails now?

Of course, Dad. All of
my friends are doing it.

Dad, are you
sure you won't fail?

Gosh, seriously.

I already asked the
lady next door and...

learned all about it.

I don't think I can trust you.

- Take all of them out, then.
- No, no.

I'll keep them.

- Yeon Joo.
- Yes?

I'll go see a friend briefly.

Am I coming, too?

No.

Just to be safe...

I'll give you emergency money.

I'll sleep over
there just one night.

You can't go out on your own
because it's dangerous, okay?

One night?

Yes, just one night.

We'll go swimming when
you come back, okay?

Promise.

Promise.

Yeon Joo, don't remove
the dye on your fingers, okay?

- Okay.
- Alright.

I'll remove them for
you tomorrow morning.

See you, Dad.

I waited as he told me to.

But it took longer than a day.

I was hungry, and I missed him.

And I started feeling scared.

I wanted to see
Dad and ask him...

why he told me to wait...

if he wasn't going to come back.

I was determined to
find him and ask him,

but Dad...

was already dead, apparently.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Resident Registration
Card - Ha Jae Pil]

I'm sorry.

I'm...

Not to mention I
didn't hear his answer,

I never even got to ask him.

I was looking for
you everywhere,

Dad.

[Na Seok Jin]

Don't make faces like
that. Don't apologize, either.

I hate it when people try to end
things with pathetic apologies.

It wasn't Moon Yeong's fault.

Dad, what the f♪♪♪
are you talking about?

Do you suddenly feel fatherly
love because she's your daughter?

Just stay put, please.

I recognized that he
was not my father, and

you recognized that
he was yours instantly.

Why did you do that then?

Were you mistaken
because you were frazzled?

Or didn't you recognize him
because the body was too bloated?

- It's because I- - No,
you said that intentionally.

You looked for your father even
after you became a prosecutor.

To live as a
successful prosecutor...

and a daughter-in-law
of a prominent family,

you would've been better
off with a father like him.

- What am I supposed to do- -
How many times did I tell you?

Represent my dad
and get him acquitted.

That's the only thing
you're supposed to do.

[Haejeon Police Station]

He didn't intend you to see
it, and it was an accident?

Yes, he was shaking a lot.

It looked like he
was about to cry, too.

Really?

Did the CCTV capture anything?

What did Cha Seong Jae say?

Why should I tell you that?

Detective Baek.

Mr. Cha Seong Jae.

What brings you here?

I thought you were
refusing to testify.

Why would you say that?

Someone died. I need
to help as a witness.

Oh, is that so?

I'm interviewing another
witness right now.

Please wait a moment.

Okay, I'll wait.

Put your fingerprint on it.

Okay.

All right.

Wipe your finger
and wait a moment.

I heard you found your daughter.

Why are you still
doing this, then?

Are you afraid to be
responsible after seeing her?

I just wanted to see
if she was doing well.

I was able to check,
thanks to Attorney Na.

She's way better of
an attorney than you.

I was being thoughtful.

I didn't want a happy kid
to meet her ex-con dad

and suffer. I was being
considered as a human.

You're right. That's why I'll
only observe her from a distance.

I learned that
recently thanks to you.

How much a father who
committed m*rder and adultery

can hurt their young child.

Why was it Tae Soo, not me?

I suppose you didn't want to
steal the identity of a criminal.

That's true. And...

Tae Soo was easier, too. It
would've been you otherwise.

Jin Woo, you're the one
who brought Hwang Tae Soo.

You said he was the only thing
close to a family and asked for help.

You even implored me
and brought him yourself.

You son of a b*tch!

sh*t.

Hey, let go of that!

You k*lled Hwang
Tae Soo, you b*stard!

What do you mean I k*lled him?

Watch your mouth, you b*stard.

And you...

Hey!

What are you people
doing at a police station?

- I'm okay.
- Calm down.

- Mr. Cha Seong Jae.
- Yes?

I know. What was he doing?

Keep your mouth shut.

Did you interrogate Ha Yeon
Joo? I heard her father is a suspect.

Did you look into how she
approached Chairman Choi?

Mr. Cha, focus on testifying
if that's what you're here for.

Instead of giving me orders.

It's because I'm frustrated.

You always get them
away in front of your eyes.

Why did you go to Chairman
Choi's house that day?

I was on my way to my house right next
door. Does that answer your question?

What are you trying to
ask... Oh, right. Ha Jae Pil.

I saw him for the
first time that day, too.

It's him, right? Ha Jae Pil.

[Active Criminal Arrest Report]

What's this?

What?

[Active Criminal Arrest
Report - Ha Jae Pil]

You look familiar.

Have we met before
the Chairman passed?

No.

Didn't Ha Yeon
Joo talk about me?

Looks like you weren't that
close with your daughter.

What made you come here?

You know I'm the only witness
who witnessed the scene, right?

I'll say,

"He had no intention to m*rder.

Ha Yeon Joo always prepares
the injections that you use."

I'll testify that.

You can get acquitted of
m*rder if you confess once.

Say your daughter
made you do it.

Or say they threatened
to k*ll your daughter.

So you had no choice
but to follow their order.

By "they," I mean the late Choi Moo
Won's son, Choi h* Shik's people.

I...

never received
orders from anyone.

Is it your hobby
to k*ll people, then?

Just think about it. He
was about to die anyway.

Why would you even try
planning to jab him on purpose?

You have nothing to do with him.

Attorney Na Moon Yeong...

Your attorney, Na
Moon Yeong, is my wife.

That means I'm on your side.

You can trust me and talk to me.

I've seen him somewhere.

Why did Cha Seong Jae...

go there that day?

It seemed like he was
after the Chairman.

It seemed that
way afterward, too.

Was he trying to hold
someone hostage or something?

I thought he reached the bottom.

How much further
is he trying to fall?

I think he'll continue
to interfere with us.

Maybe it's not too
late to take care of him.

It's not time yet.

His testimony will
be useful to us.

Bom.

Wait here for a moment, Bom.

I'll check something
inside and come out soon.

Okay.

Cha Seong Jae,

how did you get in here?

How interesting.

No,

should I say unbelievable?

Bom.

You should say
hello if you saw me.

Wait upstairs, Bom.

It's okay.

I've been thinking when I heard
you became Ha Jae Pil's attorney.

There's plenty of evidence for
m*rder. How will you defend him?

Did Ha Yeon Joo threaten you?

Or are you taking
a risk to catch her?

If not, was there
some kind of a deal?

Why did Ha Jae Pil look at me with
such an interesting look on his face?

Everything was full of
question marks, but...

this photo you used to
look at behind my back.

The answer was in here.

The suspect in the m*rder
of the chairman, Ha Jae Pil.

No, actually...

it was your father, Na Seok Jin.

Didn't you act like
you lost the entire world

when your father
supposedly died?

I was the one who saved
you when you wanted to die.

Me pretending to have
died doesn't even compare.

All those years, huh?

You're so impressive,
Na Moon Yeong.

Does scamming people
run in your family?

You and your father are so good
at lying. It must've been so fun...

playing me and my parents,
who offered a helping hand.

Cha Seong Jae.

Do you really believe
your father is innocent?

He abandoned his young daughter
and ran away to survive on his own.

You think you can
judge him for that?

So, that makes him innocent?

I'm the witness who saw
him giving him the shot.

Don't you know his verdict will
be dependent on my testimony?

Say what you
saw. I'm not afraid.

Is that so?

Say Ha Yeon Joo threatened
him and instigated the m*rder

and get Na Seok Jin
released on probation.

Save your father and
put Ha Yeon Joo in prison.

Isn't that what
you truly wanted?

And change the
passcode for the front door.

Don't you think Bom's lunar
year birthday is a bit risky?

Bom, Dad is leaving.

I'll be back soon.

I love you.

Bom, are you sleeping?

I think Cha Seong Jae
met Ha Yeon Joo's father.

He went to the detention center.

He's the only one
he could've met there.

How do you know so well about
Cha Seong Jae's whereabouts?

- Jin Woo.
- It's nothing.

I tracked his location.

- What if you... He k*lled someone,
but he's walking around freely.

Is tracking such a big deal?

I understand
you're angry at him.

But why are you obsessing
over him so much?

You told me once.

That you'll stop people around
you from getting hurt because of you.

I'm the same way.

Tae Soo...

ended up that way because of me.

I heard they were
providing housing here.

So I insisted he
move to Haean Village.

I'm the one who blindly believed
someone like Cha Seong Jae.

But he got k*lled for no reason.

That's why I can no longer let
people be sacrificed because of him.

I'll follow him around
with all my might

and stop him with my own hands.

Cha Seong Jae went to the detention
center to see Father yesterday.

He told him to blame everything
on you and get out on probation.

That sounds like him.

Looks like Chairman
Choi liked pastries a lot.

I need his medical record.

Seok Goo, she needs
the medical record.

I'll send it through Chief Yoon.

Do you have
anything else to say?

Ha Jae Pil's attorney
will visit Mr. Ha at 11.

Yes, this is she.

Na Moon Yeong.

Eastern District Prosecutors'
Office's Wolverine.

That used to be my nickname.

I wanted to have principles
without compromising.

Because I wanted
to feel proud of myself

if I ever saw you again.

I didn't even know I'd
see you again like this.

The whole world will find out
about Ha Jae Pil in no time.

Ha Yeon Joo must've
planned out her next move.

You should stop now
for that reason, too.

The moment I became Ha Jae Pil, I
thought I had no control over my fate.

No.

If there's no way to get
away from Ha Yeon Joo,

I decided to reveal
the truth instead.

Moon Yeong.

I'll ask you one last time.

Chairman Choi Moo Won...

Are you sure
you didn't k*ll him?

I'm neither Ha Jae Pil's
family nor attorney right now.

I'm a human, Na Moon Yeong.

I'm talking to you as
a mother of a child.

Because I think I'd
be able to face her

only if I revealed the truth,

Dad.

Let me ask you again.

Chairman Choi Moo Won...

Did you not k*ll him?

No.

I don't know what happened...

and where things
started going wrong.

Nothing went wrong.

[Wonwil Newspaper]

["I'll become a prosecutor
who contributes to the world."]

Prosecutor Na Moon Yeong, in charge of this
case that suffered a loss of 200 billion,

said she was determined
to assist the victim, too.

Catching the culprit
won't be the end.

I'm working on getting everyone

who suffered from the
case get back on their feet.

I'm also in the process of retrieving
the profit from the criminal organization

transferred outside the country.

Leaving you was the right
thing to do, at the least.

But I never should've
showed up in front of you.

[Rehabilitation]

Moon Yeong's father is alive?

How?

Did Moon Yeong
know about it, too?

Apparently.

But I helped her give
up on inheritance-

We've been played by
the father and daughter.

Things are about to get noisy.

You'd better start
preparing, too.

What's going to
happen to us now, then?

The election and
development of Haean Village.

That's why we need to
immobilize Ha Yeon Joo first.

What will you do?

There are so many
eyes on her right now.

She's the only one who has access
to Chairman Choi's money now.

We need to take the 80
billion before she does.

I'll get her arrested...

for instigating m*rder.

You said Ha Yeon Joo got the prescription
and administered the medicine, right?

Yes. He had to take the medicine
at a certain time every day.

The question is if she k*lled
him on purpose or accidentally.

Either way, Ha Yeon Joo was
in charge of the medication.

They're both dead once
the autopsy result comes out.

But whether the culprit is
Ha Yeon Joo or Ha Jae Pil,

it'd be very strange
in both cases.

Because she asked
Attorney Na to represent him.

I know.

Why did she choose her
sworn enemy, Attorney Na?

Mr. Do and Detective are right.

I see that you're
being tortured by her,

but don't act as if you
really are his attorney.

No, I won't quit
representing him.

My goal is to get him acquitted.

- What?
- Why?

You aren't telling us something.

Ha Jae Pil, the suspect...

His real name is Na Seok Jin.

What?

Na Seok Jin?

Who's that?

Na Moon Yeong, by chance...

Yes.

My father, Na Seok Jin.

But he passed away.

The one who passed away
was Ha Yeon Joo's father.

The real Ha Jae Pil.

The name of Attorney
Na's father is Na Seok Jin.

And the person who
actually died was Ha Jae Pil.

He fell during a physical fight.

Why is your father not
able to say anything, then?

Ha Yeon Joo thinks my father
k*lled hers in the incident I mentioned.

But that's not true.

He lived as a dead man.

But he didn't
k*ll him, you said.

Are you sure he didn't?

He left you leaving
nothing but debt behind.

He's basically a stranger.

You can't even
call him a father.

It means he lived as someone else
pretending to be dead for 25 years.

And you want to defend
someone like that?

I would've run away myself
rather than living as a father

who continues to hurt
his young daughter, but...

stealing someone
else's identity is-

Sir, we'll have
a bottle of soju!

- It was an accident.
- So what if it was?

That means you identified
someone else as your father.

Most importantly, the suspect
is Ha Jae Pil, not Na Seok Jin.

You need to reconsider
representing him.

No, I'll do it.

It wasn't an easy decision.

Seriously, Na Moon Yeong!

Gosh, seriously...

Back when you were a prosecutor,

our team was disbanded because
we got caught forcing an investigation

and I was demoted.

I really hated you, then.

But...

I respected your determination.

I hope...

I wasn't wrong about you.

People make mistakes
when they're 17.

I even k*lled someone
when I was 19.

It wasn't a mistake.

I knew it was wrong,

but I thought I'd no longer have to
run away once that moment passed.

I've forgotten
about it until now.

Shin Hwa is
right. It's terrible.

I might be doing
the same thing...

I did back then.

Attorney Na, for now,

you should only focus
on saving your father.

Even if...

that was a mistake,

you can turn everything back.

Thank you.

You've been going to
my empty house and

visiting my father in
the detention center.

You're busy moving back
and forth, Attorney Cha.

Your father?

Right, he's your father-in-law.

Yes, you were trying to convince
your father-in-law to blame me.

What are your detailed plans?

I might allow them if
they sound very appealing.

You approached me on purpose
and did all this. You tell me first.

I was never the target.

Wasn't I a bridge for you to
take revenge on Na Moon Yeong?

Na Moon Yeong's
husband happened to be...

young and capable lawyer, Cha Seong
Jae, from my company's legal team.

It brought out my
competitive edge.

Keep doing what you were
doing regardless of my goal.

The money. You
need to get it back.

I see. So, money
isn't your priority?

Who else knows Ha
Jae Pil is Na Seok Jin?

Fight between the
two of you if you want.

I'm not interested
in getting involved

and I can't afford to
die from your trickery.

That's why you should testify.

I'll give you what you want.

Power of attorney to withdraw
money from the bank in Switzerland.

You can withdraw the entire amount
with the power of attorney from me.

You just need to
give me the half of it.

But I can accept an IOU for it.

You don't trust me.

What are you trying to pull now?

There is money dormant
somewhere without an owner.

There'd be no use in delaying.

You don't know when Choi h*
Shik will change his mind, either.

My father's first
trial is starting soon.

I'll request you was a witness.

Say my father k*lled
Chairman Choi Moo Won...

and you saw it
with your own eyes.

Just testify that.

Bom, your tennis
skills improved a lot.

You can play with me now.

May I speak to Mom for a moment?

Bom, wait in the car.

You met with Ha
Yeon Joo, didn't you?

So...

did she tell you to be a witness
for the Chairman Choi trial?

Go ahead.

I'll reveal how
untrustworthy you are

as a witness in detail in court.

That's what I've
been hoping for.

You'll get hurt, too, then.

Whether you like it or not, you and I
are tangled up as much as possible.

I'll get hurt if I need to.

I have no interest in getting
out without a single wound.

How about Bom, then?

You want to reveal how terrible
of people we are in front of her?

How dare you pretend
to care about her?

Yes, I no longer want to
let Bom see us like this.

I wanted you to
remain as the father

and I foolishly wanted
to trust you until the end.

I don't want Bom to
suffer because of that.

You're not foolish.

You only care about your future,
even if people around you get hurt.

How could you be
foolish? You're despicable.

I'm foolish for being
tricked by that at first.

Think carefully about
who Bom truly needs.

Just like you,

I can't let a parent
like you have her.

How did you end up this way?

I don't know. How
did I end up this way?

Bom, roll down the window.

Moon Yeong, roll down
the window for a second.

Moon Yeong-

We need to take Bom.

Please plan our
departure quickly.

[Written Opinion of
the Legal Counsel]

[Although the suspect is
not a medical professional...]

[Autopsy Report] This is evidence
to prove Choi Moo Won's m*rder.

I confirmed that it was delivered
to the prosecutors' office, too.

[Prescription - Ha Jae Pil]

[Piracetam Injection 5 ml]

Well done.

You received the National Forensic
Service's autopsy report, right?

The ampoule apparently had
a different substance mixed in.

Yes, so?

The other substance was
prescribed to Ha Jae Pil.

All of the ampoules found at
the scene were tainted, too.

It'd be difficult for Attorney Na
to prove that it was an accident.

Got it.

You've got to be kidding me.

I won't apologize.

I can't even go in
your office now?

How dare an attorney
enter the prosecutor's office?

Your father can't
be on probation.

Just keep that in mind.

I know.

I can't win by
comparing evidence.

Yes, of course you do.

You always have
the last word, b*tch.

[Search Result] Because
he's Ha Yeon Joo's father,

I can't bring myself to
defend him in the right mind.

But no matter how much I want
to blame him, it makes no sense.

[Criminal Records]

Before 2018, Mr. Ha was
nothing short of normal.

He was a typical petit bourgeois
who had nothing to do with loan sharks.

What you know might
not be everything.

[1998 Evidence Documents]

[Case Record]

I found your father's
case record you requested.

Drown to death.

High tide.

Estimated time of death...

[Cause of Death: Fell
and drowned to death]

You weren't the first
person, Attorney Na.

Someone else requested to
see this document five years ago.

Was it Ha Yeon Joo?

They found your wallet and ID...

among the late
Mr. Ha's belongings.

The police identified
the body using that.

But isn't it strange?

According to you,

Mr. Ha fell due
to an accident and

the water level was
high due to the high tide.

So there was nothing
you could've done.

So, the cause of death
was drowning, not falling.

That's correct, right?

But how...

did they find your
wallet in his pocket?

When he came to our house...

you planned to k*ll him and
put it in there, didn't you?

No.

That's not true.

That was an accident.
It definitely was.

If so...

that means after Ha
Jae Pil died from the fall,

the wallet ended
up in his pocket.

If what I say from now on...

isn't true, please say so.

Jae Pil.

What happened? You b*stard.

[Na Seok Jin]

You waited...

until Ha Jae Pil died.

It was a mistake.

He was already dying and...

I ignored it.

Mistake?

Your one mistake
and my one lie...

k*lled someone.

I wanted to see
Dad and ask him...

why he told me to wait...

if he wasn't going to come back.

I was determined to
find him and ask him,

but Dad...

was already dead, apparently.

Not to mention I
didn't hear his answer,

I never even got to ask him.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Na Seok Jin]

Dad,

wait a bit longer.

We're almost there.

You'll get your name back.

[Na Seok Jin]

It's the power of
attorney from Director Ha.

[Ha Yeon Joo]

Thank you very much.

[Prosecutor]

[Defense / Defendant]

Starting now, we'll start the first
trial of the suspected m*rder*r,

Ha Jae Pil, Case No. 2023-1040.

Defense, present your case.

Defendant Ha Jae Pil confessed
that he k*lled the victim, Choi Moo Won

and he accepted all the charges.

In addition to that,

I'd like to inform the court that
he was identified incorrectly.

Defense, what do
you mean by that?

The man who's
sitting right here...

has been stealing the identity of the
late Mr. Ha, who passed 25 years ago.

He's my father, Na Seok Jin.

Quiet, everyone.

Na Seok Jin...

caused...

the death of Ms. Ha Yeon
Joo's father, Ha Jae Pil

by murdering him intentionally.

On August 16, 2023,

he also k*lled Mr. Choi Moo Won.

Ms. Ha Yeon Joo and Mr. Choi h* Shik
lost their fathers because of my father.

I sincerely apologize to them.

Listen carefully.

I'll make you the
m*rder*r of Chairman Choi.

Whether I plead guilty or not,
and no matter what decision I make,

Ha Yeon Joo will...

turn us into murderers.

Consider this as a
punishment for running away

and turning the other
way 25 years ago.

Okay.

♫ I can't take
another lonely night ♫

♫ You know that I need to know ♫

♫ You know that I need to know ♫

♫ I'm not giving

I've been hurting for 25 years.

Bom! Bom!

- Bom!

You lost the chance to make me feel
guilty toward you for the rest of my life.
