01x07 - Her Moment Of Crisis

Post by bunniefuu »

(This is a work of fiction. All

characters, places, incidents, )

(and organizations portrayed

in this drama are fictitious.)

If you don't know where you

are, tell me what you see.

I can find you. Just tell me what you see.

Hi, Chan.

It's about Professor Oh.

Do you know where she is?

Where is Professor Oh now?

Why? Did something happen?

I heard something explode while on

the phone with her. I must hurry.

She's in danger now.

Seokpo Fishing Spot.

She went to Seokpo Fishing

Spot to meet Hong Seok Pal.

I'm calling from Seokpo Fishing Spot.

A car just exploded and caught fire.

Someone's been hurt. There's

a chance that he's dead.

(Episode 7)

Hong Seok Pal's car just

exploded at Seokpo Fishing Spot.

It's highly likely that he's dead.

Look into it.

What is this?

Let's go there and find out.

(For now, Hong Seok Pal

is the prime suspect.)

It looks like a fire broke out over there.

Please make a U-turn.

- What?

- I must follow that car.

Hurry. Make a U-turn now.

Gosh, what is going on?

I'll drive. Get out of the car.

How did you find me here?

You look like you're about to faint.

Come on. Get out.

Hey! Do you think you own this road?

Are you not hurt? Are you all right?

My gosh, Ms. Oh. Why

didn't you pick up earlier?

I'm headed to the fishing spot now too.

Anyway, why did Hong Seok

Pal's car suddenly explode?

But before that, are you all right?

Yes, I'm okay.

No. I'm on my way home now.

Yes. He contacted me

first, asking to meet up.

That's why I went there, but

his car suddenly exploded.

How are we going to put

together a list of suspects?

Is there anyone in

particular that you suspect?

Hong Seok Pal.

Who's Hong Seok Pal?

The owner of the hostess

bar Park So Young worked at.

What? Really?

I watched all the videos that

people took at the scene that day.

Don't you remember seeing him elsewhere?

Oh, he's that guy!

My gosh.

So he broke into Professor Oh's building

and stole Park So Young's phone?

He owns the hostess bar

where Park So Young worked

and had something to do with her death.

That's why he stole her phone.

Okay. He must've stolen

Park So Young's phone

because something on that phone

could put him at a disadvantage.

But why did that man, Hong Seok Pal,

break into Professor Oh's building?

He's not connected to

Professor Oh in any way.

I bet it was because of

that USB flash drive.

It contains Hansu Group's top-secret files.

Rumour has it that Hong

Seok Pal has been working

for Chairman Han as his henchman

who does his dirty work.

I see. Hansu must've ordered

him to bring it to them.

That would be the most logical guess,

but he's working for

TK Law Firm, not Hansu.

What?

Choi Ju Wan, TK's managing partner.

What? So these people

were all involved in it?

Darn, I can't believe he is the

managing partner of the firm.

That crazy scumbag.

We'll deal with the breaking

and entering case later.

Let's identify the m*rder suspect first.

That's more urgent.

If Hong Seok Pal indeed

k*lled Park So Young

You know, that thing. The

prenatal paternity test.

It might have had something to do with it.

The fact that she got a

prenatal paternity test done

means the man denied being

the father of her baby,

which tells us that the pregnancy

made him very uncomfortable.

Bingo.

And it tells us that there's

a high chance that he was

one of her customers at

the bar or her sugar daddy.

Someone who would take a

big hit if word got out.

For example,

the VVIPs at the hostess bar.

You know everything, don't you?

Anyway, who are the VVIPs?

Han Sung Bum, the chairman of Hansu Group.

"Together for Our Future".

Assemblyman Lee In Soo.

And the last one is

Choi Tae Guk, the chairman of TK Law Firm.

But that's too much of a

stretch, don't you think?

The head of a conglomerate,

a law firm chairman, and a

presidential candidate

ordered a hostess bar owner

to k*ll a girl who worked there?

Okay, let's say that's true.

But they chose to do it

in TK's rooftop garden?

Don't you think this theory

is a little too far-fetched?

Exactly. Why there, of all places?

I mean, it'd make them uncomfortable.

Hong Seok Pal had the means to

track her down in real time.

He must've followed her, knowing

that she was headed to TK.

So he followed her all the way there.

Then for some reason

He ended up pushing her?

Well, it's not impossible.

Maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Or maybe they got into a fight.

We should keep an open

mind to all possibilities.

Hong Seok Pal and the

VVIPs at the hostess bar.

You may find this information helpful.

Rumour has it that Park So Young

and Chairman Han were quite close.

People in that industry say so.

That's gross.

But I'll start at the clinic

where Park So Young used to go.

- My belly is getting so big.

- I'm sure

she mentioned something

about the father of the baby.

Jin Myung, do you like iced vanilla lattes?

I'll find out what

Chairman Han was up to

the night Park So Young died.

I still have my sources.

Who ordered fried chicken?

- Did you order this?

- We didn't order fried chicken.

Then Chun Poong and I will

look into Hong Seok Pal.

I'm a good actor, you know.

You can totally count on me, Chan.

(Seokpo Fishing Spot)

(Legal Clinic Center)

I heard it from the coordinator

at Park So Young's OB-GYN clinic.

She said the father of

the baby was super rich.

Park So Young took a cab in

front of the hostess bar.

And I confirmed that

Hong Seok Pal took his car

to follow her soon after.

For now, Hong Seok Pal

is the prime suspect.

It was Hong Seok Pal.

The person who broke into

your building and hurt you.

The one who stole Park So Young's

phone at her sister's place.

It was all him.

I know.

He visited the firm a few days ago.

He said he had something

to say about Park So Young.

He caused a scene and insisted that

he must meet with Chairman Choi,

but he was forced to leave.

Something about Park So Young?

I gave him my business

card when I ran into him,

implying that he could call me if

he had anything to say about her.

Then he called me.

"Park So Young. What if I k*lled her?"

"What?"

When I got there, I saw Hong Seok Pal

sitting in the driver's seat.

As I was walking toward him, he

suddenly collapsed to the side.

It was so sudden that

I couldn't do anything.

Does it mean he took his own life?

Because he felt a pang of guilt

about k*lling Park So Young?

I'm not sure.

Why? Did what I just said

get your attention now?

I get it. You're partially responsible

for the way she died.

What are you talking about?

Come find me at Seokpo Fishing Spot now.

Does it make sense that he said this

when he was planning his suicide?

He said you were partially responsible.

So maybe, he was trying to

deliberately put you in danger too?

I'm talking about the car expl*si*n.

You could've gotten hurt too.

What if he didn't k*ll himself?

Just like Park So Young,

what if it's m*rder disguised as suicide?

You should get going. It's getting late.

My housekeeper put it there,

but I don't have a green thumb.

You should really get going now. I'm fine.

You have a big couch.

What?

What are you doing here?

I need to get some sleep.

What?

I'm tired. I need to sleep.

What? If you're doing this

because you're worried about me,

you can just go home. I'm really okay now.

One moment.

What's he doing?

She has such a nice bed. Why

would she be cold in this room?

Let me borrow this blanket. I'm cold.

Hey, I'm really fine. You can go home.

If he indeed took his own life,

he probably blew up his own

car to hurt Professor Oh too.

But if it's m*rder disguised as suicide

Who did it? And why?

Why deliberately endanger Professor Oh?

No!

Why won't this open?

Who are you?

Professor Oh.

Are you all right?

Professor Oh.

It was a dream.

Who could it be?

Who? And why?

Why me?

Why? Just why?

Why hide just to cry? It's lame.

Why are you sitting next to

me if you think I'm lame?

Because I know that you're cool.

You just said I was lame.

We all have

more than one side.

There could be dozens No, hundreds.

So having a couple of lame

sides really isn't a big deal.

You're still cool.

Cool, my foot.

So

just bawl your eyes out

when you want to cry

and say that you're not

okay when you're stressed.

Even if you do that, it won't

change how cool you are.

When I barely manage to get over a hurdle,

there's another one waiting for me.

And another one.

It makes me angry.

I'm so angry at my life.

How could this happen?

How could this be?

I'm scared too.

I'm scared and exhausted too.

(Hyundae Snack Bar, Recreational Boats)

(Police)

- I'm going in.

- Kang Ja!

Detective Do.

Have you found anything?

Everything is scorched.

We'll keep investigating.

(Butane)

I don't want you to be part of this.

Why? I guess someone I know

is on your list of suspects?

He's working for TK Law Firm, not Hansu.

Choi Ju Wan, TK's managing partner.

For example, the VVIPs at the hostess bar.

The chairman of TK Law Firm.

Choi Tae Guk.

Eat and sleep well.

And don't get hurt no matter what happens.

Both physically and emotionally.

Don't get hurt.

Whatever happens, you have me by your side.

Next news.

Hong, known as the king of

hostess bars in Gangnam,

died in a car expl*si*n at

an abandoned fishing spot.

Hong operated

several hostess bars all over Gangnam.

What was Soo Jae doing there?

Ms. Oh's vehicle heading

to the fishing spot

was caught on a security camera nearby.

And after the expl*si*n, her

vehicle was spotted leaving too.

Maybe, she took the same road.

It could be a coincidence.

Right.

I found it odd that Ms. Oh was

there when he committed suicide,

so I looked into this.

And the last person Hong Seok Pal

talked on the phone with was Ms. Oh.

Who called whom?

Did you check that?

It was Hong Seok Pal.

They could have arranged a

meeting at the fishing spot.

I believe Ms. Oh knew something

when she headed there.

Anyway, Hong Seok Pal is dead.

And we will have to

interview Ms. Oh for a statement.

You should if you need to.

- By the way, Chief Kang, - Yes?

Try not to look too happy.

Hong Seok Pal took great care of you.

Everyone in your industry knows that.

And I can tell you're happy

that it will never come out.

Gosh, no. That's not true.

He never did no such thing for me.

I just thought that Ms. Oh might

be questioned by the police.

So I wanted to give you a heads-up.

Okay. Let's stop here today.

I have a meeting.

I see. Yes, sir.

How come you didn't answer my calls?

(Gong Chan)

Were you with Soo Jae all night?

I checked the group chatroom.

They all went to the fishing spot.

You were quiet, and I

couldn't reach her either.

Were you with her?

Yes.

How is she?

She's not okay.

How could she be?

I'm the one who should be angry.

Why do you sound mad?

- Why should you be angry?

- Do you have to ask?

Do you think you're the only

one who's worried about her?

You know,

it infuriates me that she was

all alone during the expl*si*n.

You must know since you

heard the recording.

So it makes me so angry that

she was all alone there.

Then why are you so angry?

Don't tell me

you're angry because she

was with me the whole night.

Is that why you're angry?

Yes.

It infuriates me that

she called you instead of

me when she was in danger.

And I told her not to do

that, but she still

called you again.

It's driving me mad.

And let me make this very clear.

You'd better not suspect my father

and my brother without proof.

I might hate them,

but I won't let you accuse them falsely.

You're suspecting them too. Aren't you?

You're trying your best to prove

that they are innocent, right?

I never suspected them.

I'm not trying to prove their innocence.

That sad suspect list.

You should drop it before

you get humiliated.

There's nothing you can do now.

Hong Seok Pal said he k*lled Park So Young.

I'll look into it.

Hong Seok Pal said he pushed Park So Young,

but I must check if that was true.

Then I'll check if it was his decision

or if someone ordered him to do so.

I'll find out if Hong Seok

Pal really k*lled himself.

I'll check if Park So Young's

k*ller m*rder*d him too.

I'll check if those people

on my sad suspect list

are relevant to this case.

I told you to stop!

Fine. Suit yourself.

Suspect my father

and my brother without any proof.

Do it all the way.

I plan on it.

When I take it all the way,

I will cross paths with you at one point.

It's obvious that you're

worried about this.

"Don't suspect my father and

my brother without proof"?

Who are his father and brother?

Do we know them? Who are they?

Oh, my gosh.

Choi Yoon Sang.

Choi Ju Wan. Choi Tae Guk.

Is he Choi Tae Guk's son?

- No way.

- No wonder!

When we were talking the

other day, he was a bit off.

Right.

That explains it. Gosh.

How am I going to face him now?

Nothing's going to change.

We'll treat him the same.

But where were you last night?

You didn't even answer your phone.

I was on the phone with Professor

Oh right after the expl*si*n.

So I went to the fishing spot.

We met around the fishing

spot, and I drove her home.

What did she say? Why did

Hong Seok Pal want to meet?

She doesn't know that either.

He called Professor Oh out of the blue.

And he confessed that

he k*lled Park So Young.

After setting up a meeting with her,

he died in the car expl*si*n.

Something doesn't add up.

Something's off.

He might not have committed suicide.

Sir, the lawyer you talked about is here.

And she looks really scary.

Let's have some tea.

So based on what you told us,

Hong Seok Pal must have lied on the phone.

Why would he do that?

We should find out

if he was telling the truth or not.

And if Hong Seok Pal is

indeed Park So Young's k*ller.

And if Professor Oh is

responsible for her death.

She must have a dashcam in her car. Right?

This is the memory card for my dashcam.

It has the sudden expl*si*n

and fire after my arrival.

Someone could have installed a b*mb.

A b*mb?

You might be able to find out

if you tap into your network.

Did someone install it

to k*ll Hong Seok Pal?

Or did Hong Seok Pal install

it on his own to k*ll himself?

Gosh. But how did you find me here?

I went off the grid, so

no one could find me here.

You talked about this place once.

You said this was your

hometown for your soul.

Gosh. I should blame my big mouth.

I should have called you.

But after Mr. Ha came by,

I had a lot on my mind.

Ms. Oh, now that I'm getting older,

I easily get scared and

have become a coward.

I'm sorry.

Are you really sorry?

What? Yes. I'm really sorry.

I'm very sorry.

Then use that feeling to do a thorough job.

Okay. I will.

I think something bad is

going to happen to me soon.

How much progress did the police make?

They raided Hong Seok

Pal's bar and his house.

It looks like they're considering

it to be a suicide case.

Did you hear if they found

anything during the search?

I asked a reporter. And the

police put an embargo on it.

I do think there's something.

Okay.

There can't be anything.

Spare me two minutes.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's fine. Let's continue this later.

What's this about?

(Hong Seok Pal died last night.

Oh Soo Jae was at the scene.)

(Hong Seok Pal died last night.

Oh Soo Jae was at the scene.)

That's why I'm here.

Something bad is going

to happen to me soon.

(Smile Art Supplies)

Eun Seo.

I'm here.

Yoon Se Pil.

Aren't you cold?

Let me wrap this around you.

What's wrong?

No, Eun Seo. It's okay.

Anybody around? We need

some help over here. Help!

- Eun Seo, it's okay.

- Are you all right, Eun Seo?

We'll take you inside.

It's okay. Take a deep breath.

I forgot for a moment.

I guess Eun Seo still needs more time.

Let's just be thankful that she's alive.

And she started painting again.

The high-impact car accident

caused severe bleeding in the cerebrum.

We've drained the haemorrhage,

but she could experience

neurological problems.

Also, we suspect that she was

sexually assaulted as well.

I must make them pay.

For everything they did,

but one thing at a time.

They'll get it all back.

(Barbershop)

I have something important today.

I'll take great care of you, sir.

You see, there are fools who think

that they own what I gave them.

They don't know that it'll all

be gone the moment they lose me.

Those morons.

They think they're important now.

I know. This world is

filled with such fools.

(Oh Soo Jae)

Hey, take a seat.

It's very fresh today. Try it.

It's even fresher than the last time.

Thank you, sir.

Shall I put on some music, sir?

No need. Today is such a

happy day, even without music.

It's a happy day for you.

That nuisance, Hong Seok Pal, is now dead.

I bet you're especially happy about that.

What was the thing I had last time?

Right. Grilled snapper head.

It was really good.

I'll prepare it for you, sir.

He died because of you.

Because you've been running

around cleaning up the mess.

You know that he died because of you.

Soo Jae.

How much do you think

you can protect yourself?

He is using Hong Seok Pal as bait

I am the one protecting you.

I saved you.

Because he wants to hurt me.

Hong Seok Pal died because of you,

and you ordered him to k*ll Park So Young.

Chief Kang said the police

would have to investigate you.

We're celebrating For Our Future

Forum's anniversary tomorrow.

I'll arrange everything for you,

so attend the event tomorrow.

It was created to help Assemblyman

Lee get elected as President.

But technically, I was the

one who founded the forum.

It was founded two years ago.

You suddenly want me to join?

Is this what I get for

demanding 70 million dollars?

Don't you know what kind of

people are attending the forum?

I'm giving you a chance

to join the most powerful

bunch in my inner circle.

Once you join them, no

one can mess with you.

That includes Chief Kang, of course.

I'm suggesting this for your own sake.

What is the funnest ocean fish to catch?

Do you know?

When I was little, I went

fishing with my dad often.

In my experience, the black

porgy was the best one.

The moment you feel the bite,

it starts pulling, and

it's incredibly strong.

It's so strong that even your

fishing rod gets dragged away.

I lost my fishing rod in a

flash, so I was upset about it.

But that moment, the

boat captain said this.

"The one who throws bait"

"doesn't necessarily have the upper hand."

"It even took your fishing

rod away from you,"

"so it beat you."

The fish beat you because it took

the bait and the fishing rod too?

That is not true, Soo Jae. How long

do you think the fish held out?

A day at the most.

When you think you've bitten the bait,

you should let the fisherman reel

you in, so you won't be hurt.

If you try to wriggle your way out,

the hook will rip your

mouth, and you'll be hurt.

Make sure you attend the event.

It'll lead you to better things.

I politely decline.

You see, that bait

I won't bite it.

(Gong Chan)

Hey.

Check out the waxing gibbous moon.

What?

And next to it, I see Jupiter too.

Jupiter?

Where is Jupiter?

The small sparkling star next to the moon.

That's Jupiter. You didn't know?

How ignorant.

I've never been called ignorant before.

Anyway, where are you now?

I'm delivering something

while admiring Jupiter.

Delivering what?

A healthy dinner.

I left it in front of your door.

You're here now? Are you in the lobby?

I wanted to see you and

give it to you in person,

but you should go to

bed, so I'm just leaving.

Bye.

(Gong Chan)

Make sure you eat all of

it before you wash up.

Don't worry about anything.

Just sleep well.

See you tomorrow at school,

with smiles on our faces.

The detectives are here.

They came here because

they couldn't reach you.

I get that you couldn't reach her,

but you can't just barge in here.

You know that you're overreacting, right?

Gosh, seriously. It's not

like I wanted to come here.

Are you here to see me?

Detective Do Jin Myung,

Jungang Police Station.

Why didn't you answer your phone?

We came all the way here

because you didn't pick up.

You'll have to come with

us for a witness interview.

You're probably here because

of Hong Seok Pal's death.

If you're suspecting me because I

was at the scene, I can explain it.

He wanted to meet, so I went there.

But his car suddenly exploded,

so I called 911 and left.

I'm sure you already

checked his call log

as well as the recording of

the call between me and 911.

Yet you came here in such a rush

just to interview a witness?

It's a little over the

top, don't you think?

Like you said, you spoke

with him just before he died.

You were at the scene, and you called 911.

We found Hong Seok Pal's

phone in his office.

We found a recording of the

last phone call he made.

Park So Young. What if I k*lled her?

- What?

- Why? Did what I just said

get your attention now?

I get it. You're partially responsible

for the way she died.

You clearly had something to do

with Hong Seok Pal's death

and Park So Young's death too.

We have many questions for you,

so you'll have to come with us.

You're asking her to go

to the station with you?

You don't have an arrest warrant.

She's a witness, not a suspect.

You can't take her to the

station without her permission.

Kid.

We'll decide if she's

a witness or a suspect.

Hold on. A suspect?

Did you just call our professor a suspect?

Will you take responsibility

for what you just said?

I'm going to start recording now. Okay?

Right. We're going to film you now.

You'd better take

responsibility for this later.

Calm down.

Hong Seok Pal died because of you.

Chief Kang said the police

would have to investigate you.

So

did your chief order you to bring me in?

Yes, chief.

Yes. Okay.

Ms. Oh, you're under arrest.

What? You have no grounds to arrest her.

She's a law professor.

Why are you arresting her?

This is an abuse of authority.

Article 213 of the Criminal Code.

Abuse of authority and hindrance

to the exercise of rights.

Article 214. Abuse of

authority and unlawful arrest!

Ms. Oh, you're under arrest

for instigating to m*rder Park So Young

and aiding and abetting Hong

Seok Pal's suicide. Understood?

What nonsense is that?

Detective Do, what is this?

You have the right to an attorney.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be

used against you in court.

I'm sure you all know that.

Professor Oh.

When you think you've bitten the bait,

you should let the fisherman reel

you in, so you won't be hurt.

If you try to wriggle your way out,

the hook will rip your

mouth, and you'll be hurt.

He was more impatient than I thought.

Right?

So you're arresting me without a warrant.

You're sure you'll meet the conditions

to grant you a lawful arrest?

You must think that we

don't follow any protocol.

We have probable cause

A warrantless arrest.

There's a risk of getting evaluated

if your arrest was

lawful or not afterwards.

So you will face the consequences, right?

With your job on the line.

My gosh. Arresting a

lawyer is such a hassle.

Why don't we go quietly?

- Detective Shin. Detective Do!

- You can't Professor Oh!

- Hold on.

- Song Mi Rim.

I want you to represent me.

Yes. I'll do it. I'll be your lawyer.

I don't want

any of you to leave school.

At least remove the handcuffs.

It's not like she's going to flee.

And this is our school.

At least show her some respect.

Let's go.

Wait.

Do you have a warrant?

Are you sure it meets the

conditions for a warrantless arrest?

How could you put

handcuffs on her at school?

- Have you lost your mind?

- Let's go.

Wait.

Water my plant.

Move out of the way. Let's go.

(Jungang Police Station)

- Do you admit instigating m*rder?

- Do you admit

aiding and abetting

Hong Seok Pal's suicide?

Why did you have her k*lled?

Is it true you told Hong Seok

Pal to k*ll Park So Young?

You showed no sense of remorse

when Park So Young died.

How do you feel now?

You still feel no remorse?

Not at all.

- What?

- Step out of the way.

Next news.

Lawyer Oh Soo Jae of TK Law Firm

was in the limelight

when Park So Young died.

And she was arrested for instigating

to m*rder Park So Young

and aiding and abetting

Hong Seok Pal's suicide

without a warrant.

- What? What nonsense is that?

- Lawyer Oh Soo Jae

was considered to be a managing

partner at TK Law Firm.

She was a star lawyer at TK Law Firm.

- What is this?

- It's been disclosed that

she had instigated Hong Seok

Pal to m*rder Park So Young

by pushing her off the TK building.

And this discovery sent

shock waves to the public.

Father.

You knew about this, right?

You knew about Soo Jae's arrest, right?

Get her out right now.

Tell them to release her now!

Why did you do it?

- I was bored.

- What did she tell you to find?

You must have hidden something there.

Behind that weird button.

Nice. Getting paper-slapped

made me come to my senses.

Stop beating people up.

What if you end up k*lling them?

You're lucky that you're my son.

If you weren't,

you wouldn't be standing here.

Father. There had never been a moment

I felt lucky that you were

my father in my entire life!

Father, why is Soo Jae

But there must have been a moment

when you felt lucky to be his son.

When I was a high school senior,

Mom collapsed because of

that big mess you made!

I remember how Father cleaned

up all that mess for you.

What are you talking about?

Mom passed away five

days after her collapse.

So I wasn't even interested

in the mess you created.

Did you feel lucky to be his son?

- You jerk.

- Choi Yoon Sang!

Yes! I'm leaving.

I'll go and get her out no matter what.

You're only allowed to do two

things when you leave this office.

Stay out of Soo Jae's case completely.

And come back home.

They are worried that

the sell-off might not go

through because of Soo Jae.

Chief Legal Officer Han

has been calling me too.

You.

Don't miss this chance in her absence.

Take back what's ours.

Father, is that why

Is that why you didn't stop

them from arresting Soo Jae?

You're not going to question her?

The chief wanted to question

her, so he told us to wait.

Is she that important? Even

the chief is coming down?

Gosh. Did she hear us or what?

Why is she smiling at us?

Seriously. Is she really

crazy or something?

Gosh. The passcode.

I should have asked her that.

- What do we do?

- Should we ask her friend?

- Dr. Chae Jun Hee.

- Right.

Ms. Song, I wanted to call you.

Soo Jae is not answering her phone.

Jun Hee, I'm in a hurry.

Do you know Ms. Oh's passcode to her house?

I see.

Why would she pick such an easy passcode?

Chan.

My housekeeper put it there,

but I don't have a green thumb.

The house is under the company's name.

And I'm the one who gave her the keys.

Ms. Song. Where are you?

Jun Hee, I'm right here.

- Is she okay?

- Yes, she's okay.

My goodness.

Mr. Choi?

People said TK Law Firm was

an incredible law firm

where everyone dreamed of working.

So I had high hopes.

And it makes me concerned

about my professor's mental well-being

for having to put up with a jerk like you.

A jerk like me?

Yes. You heard me.

Come to think of it,

this doesn't make sense.

You could have gotten Ms. Song to do it.

But you came here

with a locksmith.

- Really?

- Yes.

People might think that

you're here to steal things.

Do I need to explain my actions to you?

And didn't you know

that the company provided housing for her?

Does it mean you can just pick

the lock and barge in here?

I guess that's normal for TK Law Firm.

Since you're providing housing for her,

you can come in here whenever you want?

Is that it?

Where is her room?

Can you go and watch him?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Did you find it? Are you leaving now?

Ms. Oh.

I refuse to answer any questions

until my lawyer gets here.

When will your lawyer get here?

Sorry.

Sorry.

I had to water the plant.

Let's begin.

I

k*lled Park So Young

for Oh Soo Jae from TK Law Firm.

The person who pushed Park So Young

off the rooftop of the TK building

was me.

Hong Seok Pal.

Hey.

Who do you think you are? You

think you can boss me around?

Park So Young won't get away with this.

Do you really want to end up in prison?

You have several hostess bars in Gangnam.

I can make sure all of them go under.

Do your kids know

how their father is coming

up with their tuition abroad?

Hey, you'd better leave

my kids out of this.

If you get my kids involved in this,

I'm going to k*ll you! Got that?

So think carefully about

how you're going to get

rid of Park So Young.

Get rid of her?

Why would I do that?

Do what you guys are good at.

You can bury people

without leaving a trace.

Oh Soo Jae blackmailed me

because of Assemblyman An Kang Won.

She was seeing him.

But he was also involved

with Park So Young.

And this scandal made Oh Soo Jae livid.

So she told me to k*ll Park So Young.

She said if I didn't k*ll her,

she would make sure all

of my businesses go under,

and she would t*rture

my kids.

Do you admit that you ordered Hong

Seok Pal to k*ll Park So Young?

Ms. Oh.

Let's finish the video.

That's how Oh Soo Jae blackmailed me.

So I had no choice

but to k*ll Park So Young.

(Detective Cho: I got Hong

Seok Pal's confession video.)

I had nightmares every night.

And I felt so guilty that I

couldn't go on with my life.

So Young. I'm really sorry.

And I would like to offer

my sincere apology

to the bereaved family.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Darn it.

I will meet with Oh Soo Jae

one last time.

And I will commit

suicide

in front of her.

We got it. It's over.

That lowlife, Hong Seok Pal, came here

and talked about Park So Young?

Get him in here right now.

We have cleaners who take

care of dirt bags like him.

Right. Oh Soo Jae can deal with him.

Tell her to crush him.

She will destroy him,

and we should get rid of the cleaner too.

Why? The sell-off hasn't

been finalized yet.

Besides, she's nothing like

that lowlife, Hong Seok Pal.

Whenever I stand here,

I always think

Chairman Choi couldn't

have picked a better seat.

But

Oh Soo Jae has the files on the cruise.

So I don't know

if we have a bright future

ahead of us or a bleak one.

We must unite when

there's work to get done.

That way, I can appoint you to

be the Minister of Justice

when my administration takes over.

Your desire to make me the President.

And your desire to be my stepping stone.

That hasn't changed, right?

Hold on.

Why is this talk getting so serious?

Of course, not.

You meant it when you said

you would do anything

to make me the President, right?

Of course. When have I

not been honest with you?

Gosh. People might think

you're professing love to each other.

Goodness.

This feels weird.

All this for a mere position?

That fool. He thinks

I'm his stepping stone?

He doesn't even know what his role is.

(Autopsy Report, Hong Seok Pal)

(The deceased died in a car expl*si*n.)

I don't see any signs of foul play.

I think he was addicted to drugs.

But it doesn't have a

direct tie to his death.

The causes of death were

asphyxiation from carbon monoxide

and burning.

My opinion is that he committed suicide.

(Establish law and order)

(Corrections)

(Establish law and order)

(Live to repent)

(Why Her?)

- What a mess.

- Those darn reporters.

This is just the beginning.

Harsher words will become the truth,

and they'll think she's the culprit.

The police began searching Oh

Soo Jae's office and house.

- It's gone.

- Yes.

TK Law Firm has nothing to

do with the case in question.

We must find evidence that

Professor Oh is innocent.

You jerks!

Why are you doing this so fast?

You don't know if this is real or fake.

This could be real.

She wouldn't say stuff like that.

I'm sure she's a few moves

ahead even in prison.

Someone who can bring in Hong

Seok Pal to get me involved.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I would detain her.
