Episode 16
Hey, Jeong Il. The detectives are on their way. The detectives, huh?
Jeong-IL, KANG. Senior Attorney
It looks like he snuck away through the basement garage about five minutes ago.
Track his vehicle. And go to his hometown to do a search and obtain information.
Quickly!
I think Oppa Jeong Il made his getaway. I'm sure he'll look into being a stowaway or some other method.
Since he's a clever person.
Jeong Il will expose the slush fund account.
Probably.
Soo Yeon, you should have done what I told you to--
As you told me to!
Should I marry Oppa Jeong Il?
Share the same room with the son of Ahjussi Yoo Taek whom you killed
and have a baby with him.
A person who says he will write you a petition once our child is born...
Should I live with him?
I think I've also developed claustrophobia.
I want to get out of Tae Baek.
Tae Baek... I hope it falls quickly, Dad.
Oh, hello. I just got here. Where did you say it was?
Third room from the right. Okay, okay.
The chief monk said you can stay here a few days. And Jeong Il, I'm sure you're on a wanted list.
You can't leave. And water and food, I will get them ready and--
I'm sure there's a way to nullify the video's admissibility as evidence.
Jeong Il...
A false statement which was cajoled...
No, beyond my control by a threat.
I can't get my head on straight.
No, wait. I'm sure that video hasn't been reported to the police headquarters yet.
Then if we get rid of Sin Yeong Joo...
Gyeong Ho, gather some people. People who are more capable than Baek Sang Goo. Hurry!
Should I get rid of her?
Jeong Il, should I get rid of her and get locked up with you?
My kid, punk, just started kindergarten.
Then should I make my wife raise our child alone?
I have a lot of burdens. The only thing I can do for you is
look into a ship for your stowaway. That's all.
Jo Gyeong Ho!!
You want much more than that, don't you?
Emergency Number 112 (Crime Reporting Number)
It's the 112 center.
Please speak. Is there something you'd like to report?
Hello?
I'll look into a stowaway ship.
And, Jeong Il, I'll come visit you with my wife and my child, okay?
I dispatched our guys to go check Kang Jeong Il's hometown
but we can't get any information about his whereabouts.
He'll escape overseas.
There are over 30 organizations that help with stowaways.
I'm sure we lack the manpower to contact and check each and every one of those organizations.
Speaking of being a stowaway, that's quite a complicated thing.
Within Korean territorial waters, the Coast Guard patrol boat will have to be avoided
and a ship to transfer to in the open seas must be arranged.
It'll take at least a couple of days.
My stomach's not feeling satiated with this kind of thing.
Order him a special galbitang (short rib soup).
Hey, this place is good.
Oh, here. Here, here. Number one. It's the best.
Kang Jeong Il... Did I work with him at Tae Baek for about seven years?
I know him very well. He pays you back double what he owes.
That punk will throw a hook if he takes a jab.
In order to catch President Choi Il Hwan
he threw in Bo Gook, a multi-million dollar company.
Will he leave Choi Soo Yeon, who handed over the video, alone
and just get on the boat?
So provoke him through Choi Soo Yeon?
Good!
I came because I had heard a visitor was here to see me.
Not all visitors are pleasant.
The police seem to be curious about a lot of things over the murder of Reporter Kim Seong Shik.
I was once your husband, so how could I send my ex-wife into the interrogation room?
I requested a visiting investigation.
Don't be too thankful.
Wasn't this case over with me handing over the video?
The police are the ones who lost the criminal.
The world isn't as simple as you think.
And this case isn't simple either.
Not long ago, I did an investigation into a person involved in this case.
You would know him, too.
Baek Sang Goo.
He gave a statement that the one who contracted out a gang to retrieve the corruption documents was
you, Choi Soo Yeon.
I got a call from Choi Soo Yeon.
Since Reporter Kim Seong Shik had some documents,
she ordered me to go get them back.
The police are suspicious of you. You and Team Leader Kang Jeong Il were together for a long time.
The police are suspicious that you asked Baek Sang Goo to assault Kim Seong Shik,
and during that process, Kang Jeong Il murdered him.
Either resolve the suspicion,
or confess.
Who's Baek Sang Goo?
I believe he is one of a demolition service gang that Team Leader Kang Jeong Il manages.
Ah, I think I heard about him from Oppa Jeong Il.
Didn't you get hurt by him, too? I'm pretty sure the one who contracted that was Jeong Il, too.
Are you saying that Kang Jeong Il instigated him to murder Lee Dong Joon?
Lee Dong Joon, Oppa Jeong Il, Baek Sang Goo.
I heard that the three of them even met together before.
I guess Lee Dong Joon would know.
Whether Baek Sang Goo is my person or Oppa Jeong Il's.
The one who injected drugs into Lee Dong Joon and instigated his murder was
Oppa Jeong Il.
The one who contracted a gang to assault Reporter Kim Seong Shik was
also Oppa Jeong Il.
If they have a relationship close enough to contract the murder of Lee Dong Joon,
then the one who contracted assault would probably be Team Leader Kang Jeong Il, too.
I trust that the police will make a rational decision.
Get the confession from Oppa Jeong Il instead.
I think I've resolved your suspicion toward me.
Then.
- Jin Cheol, you wrote it all down well, right? - Yes.
Spread it well among the reporters accredited with the police station.
Yes, I understand.
We have learned that after Ms Choi Soo Yeon was interrogated by the police,
additional criminal charges have been alleged against Kang Jeong Il.
The suspicion has arisen that while Baek Sang Goo was under a demolition service contract, Kang Jeong Il used him
for assault-for-hire and instigated other murders. [Police Focus on Determining Whereabouts]
Under the premise that Choi Soo Yeon's testimony is highly credible,
the police are investigating Mr. Kang's other crimes and making an intense effort to determine his location.
Jeong Il, I've found a boat. It will leave from Incheon tonight.
First...
get over to Macao, and from there, I will--
Gyeong Ho.
Before I leave,
I think I have to meet up with Choi Soo Yeon.
Jeong Il, your face has been broadcast on TV all day.
You're on a wanted list nationally, punk.
I am in that position!
But what about Choi Soo Yeon?
When I'm crying like this,
I can't have Choi Soo Yeon be laughing all by herself.
Before I get on the stowaway ship tonight, Gyeong Ho,
set it up for me.
I've deleted all documents related to Baek Sang Goo.
What I couldn't delete--
Pin them on Oppa Jeong Il.
He's someone who's leaving.
Let's send him away with all of our burdens.
That is...
I'm sure Oppa Jeong Il sent you, and he probably asked to see me.
Where is he?
Yes. Team Leader Choi Soo Yeon is on her way out.
I'll follow her. You follow Jo Gyeong Ho.
Choi Soo Yeon is moving. Leave now.
I'll leave the cell phone on. Keep sending me the location.
Jin Cheol, how many meals do you eat a day? Let's go.
It's in the Ten Commandments.
"Don't worship any other gods except me."
But... I think I have before.
Oppa.
Back then, whom I worshiped wasn't Tae Baek or my dad but you.
What would you like me to do for you?
I'm sure you found a boat.
Since you like horse racing,
should I find a ranch to buy in a country that has no criminal extradition agreement yet?
Soo Yeon.
Shall we go together?
Us... Why did we end up like this?
Me, who threw you away, CEO Choi Il Hwan who sent my father away...
Let's forget it all and
like before...
Should we be together like before?
Oppa...
Involving you in the body-armor issue...
I should have stopped my father then...
Sorry.
You killed Reporter Kim Seong Shik because of me.
If only I hadn't hired Baek Sang Goo...
Lee Dong Joon...
If he had disappeared at the pier,
would we be walking on the same path?
I requested that.
I'm sorry.
Oppa...
you were only carrying out my request...
I'm sorry, Oppa.
I'm sorry, Soo Yeon.
Yeah, Gyeong Ho.
The video you just recorded, send it over to Choi Soo Yeon's phone.
I'm going to send this video to the police, too.
Tonight,
I'm leaving.
Jo Gyeong Ho - One attached file
Run away.
Before the police chase you down, huh?
After throwing all that you have away...
this is my last consideration for you.
Oh, Jeong Il, I didn't record it.
You're leaving, but I think I'll have to stay behind at Tae Baek.
Jeong Il, we did everything we could. Let's stop it now. Come to the pier.
I've prepared a place for you to stay in Macao, too.
Please let's stop this now. Leave, please.
Jo Gyeong Ho! How could you!
Attorney Hwang was asking why I was coming to see you.
I said this.
To make him give up quickly and leave already.
If you get caught by the police, it's a headache for me, too.
You and I...
There are as many situations we've been involved in as much as the time we've spent together.
- Choi Soo Yeon!- From now!
It's being transmitted.
Be careful. If you lay a finger on me,
your stowaway boat will be canceled.
My connection to Baek Sang Goo and traces of my involvement in Reporter Kim Seong Shik's murder
will all be sent off in the boat that you'll be on.
Thanks, Oppa.
Kang Jeong Il is coming out.
I'll be arriving in five minutes, Dong Joon.
I'll try to buy some time.
Lee Dong Joon! Stop getting in my way!
It's all over.
Since you'll be spending a long time in prison.
Lee Dong Joon.
Kang Jeong Il, you're being arrested for the murder of Reporter Kim Seong Shik.
Police have arrested lawyer Kang Jeong Il, son of Chairman Kang Yoo Taek, without a warrant
on suspicion of the murder of reporter Kim Seong Shik. (Police arrest Kang Jeong Il without a warrant.)
Ah, just how did we end up like this?
We've learned that Kang Jeong Il was apprehended at a Buddhist temple in the metropolitan area.
He is currently being interrogated at the Yeongdongpo Police Station.
As well as trying to reveal Kang Jeong Il's other crimes,
the police are considering expansion of the investigation to the police, prosecutors, and members of the legal profession
who participated in the cover-up and fabrication of the Reporter Kim Seong Shik murder case
22nd. Mom's birthday
You're very adept at asserting constitutional rights for yourself. Taking the fifth.
Right to silence.
It was comfortable when I used that,
but it's really annoying seeing someone else using it.
Kang Jeong Il. You can't avoid being prosecuted for murder.
Submit the slush fund account that you have.
What I have...
why should I use it for the sake of the world?
When Father was about to leave this world where he could never come back,
what would he have in his mind at his last moment?
After losing Tae Baek, if Choi Il Hwan's one and only daughter goes to prison,
then he will probably shed tears, right?
Just like my father.
Choi Soo Yeon.
Put handcuffs on her and bring her in front of me.
Then, I will put in your hands the slush fund account.
I can't bargain with a murder suspect. That's a rule.
If the slush fund account does not get into your hands,
Tae Baek will stay safe,
and only Lee Dong Joon will be hurt.
Think about it well.
If that's the rule, then follow it.
Choi Soo Yeon is denying the fact of any connection to Baek Sang Goo.
She is denying involvement also with the cover-up and fabrication in Reporter Kim's murder case.
There is no criminal who would open their mouths on their own.
I will look over all the files left on Baek Sang Goo.
I'll trace back the process how they concealed the murder case.
Work hard, Ms. Yeong Joo.
I've deleted all the documents from the server.
The contents that could link you and Baek Sang Goo is not in Tae Baek.
Baek Sang Goo
There are no files that contain "Baek Sang Goo."
I met with all the cops and prosecutors involved in the cover-up
and prevented them from opening their mouths.
Since Chief Justice Chang Hyeon Gook is in prison, subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
they probably can't get their hands on the work we did through him.
I contacted all of the investigators at the time,
but they are not opening their mouths. Ah, it seems they are all forced to keep silent.
The workforce has been supplemented from above.
They may be considering focusing just on the Kim Seong Shik murder case.
Then the slush fund issue would be covered up...
If Tae Baek collapses then the world would move forward a little.
I already prepared to throw myself under the tires of that movement.
Supreme Court Justice Chang Hyeon Gook is currently confined at the Seoul Detention Center.
Go see him tomorrow.
I will provoke him for you today.
I've been keeping tabs on articles about you.
It seems like Tae Baek is in danger. It seems like you will soon come to this place.
Your daughter got a divorce.
I heard she was preparing to study abroad. I came in case I could be of any help.
If the police find out that Choi Soo Yeon leaked the information to you about the National Health Insurance Corporation,
it will probably lead to the fact that I ruled the trial by contract as well,
by submitting to the Choi Il Hwan's threat.
A detective will come to find you.
Whatever she asks, please say you don't know.
You're saying that the rope to catch you is in my hands.
Out of that rope, make a useful rope that will assist your daughter.
I am the former Chief Supreme Court Justice.
I will respond truthfully to the police interrogation.
Chief Justice. Chief Justice!
Kim Seong Shik Case Judgment
Printing
Judgment from Seoul Southern District Court
Choi Il Hwan, Tae Baek Law Firm
Choi Soo Yeon gave me the information
that Attorney Lee Dong Joon exerted pressure on the National Health Insurance Corporation.
Lee Dong Joon came yesterday.
He tried to cajole me out of testifying. Make note of that, too.
Supreme Court Justice Chang Hyeon Gook is currently confined at the Seoul Detention Center. Go see him tomorrow.
I will provoke him for you today.
If you need me to, I will also testify in court.
You... you will be able to catch Lee Dong Joon for sure, right?
Wait.
I used your bathroom well.
Your bathroom is bigger than my room. And this room is bigger than our house.
I understand that the visiting investigation is done all at once.
That's right.
But why would you have come to see me? Late at night, even to my place.
You can say it is a mandatory summons or an arrest.
There is a tip that you actively participated in the fabrication and
cover-up of Reporter Kim's murder case.
Instead of wasting time on typing for your subpoena, I came to personally escort you.
Hey, Sin Yeong Joo!
Let's go quietly. I guess your mom still isn't feeling well.
Don't make me put handcuffs on you.
There's testimony that the person who ordered an assault for hire to Baek Sang Goo
is Choi Soo Yeon.
The testimony of a murder suspect versus a testimony of a good citizen.
Whom would the law believe?
There is additional information.
It's the affidavit former Chief Justice Chang Hyeon Gook submitted.
It says that you provided him with allegations on Lee Dong Joon.
Affidavit (A Witness' Statement under Oath)
Shouldn't this be
sufficient evidence that you were actively involved in the process of covering up the murder?
Dad tried to make me marry Lee Dong Joon.
Wasn't it just my dad's pushing his way to get Lee Dong Joon as his son-in-law?
How does this affidavit imply that I covered up the murder?
This is the judgment downloaded from the Tae Baek Server.
President Choi Il Hwan drafted this himself.
This is the judgment I issued n the first trial.
I wrote a judgment for the first time in a long while.
I will do that trial.
You just hit the gavel.
I ruled in a trial as President Choi Il Hwan ordered me to.
You suborned the Chief Justice.
I succumbed to CEO Choi Il Hwan.
Soo Yeon, you took the lead in the cover-up of the Reporter Kim Seong Shik murder case.
President Choi Il Hwan must have drawn the big picture.
And you must have set up the stage at that time, too.
Miss Choi Soo Yeon, on the charges of instigating Baek Sang Goo to assault Reporter Kim,
and concealing the murder of Reporter Kim Seong Shik, you are under exigent arrest.
I kept my promise, now it's your turn.
Where is the slush fund account?
BDA 23412 3234353
No, I will request for questioning again in the presence of an attorney.
Choi Soo Yeon. You should give up now too.
Your arrest warrant will be also issued.
For the contracted trial and the usage of the slush fund.
There will be dozens of pages for your statements.
Delay that for a few days.
I will set up a trap so that no one who is involved with Tae Baek can get away.
Then you will be able to investigate with ease.
I will give you a name list of who should be prohibited from leaving the country by tomorrow.
The name list for the bribery will take a longer time.
I will send all the documents on Tae Baek while enduring in Tae Baek's President's office.
Then after that, we will be seeing each other in the interrogation room.
Police Academy Graduation
So what Sin Chang Ho said was right.
You were very pretty 10 years ago.
Lieutenant Sin Yeong Joo is appointed to a special investigation team.
Today the police launched a special investigation into the largest slush fund scandal since the founding of the country.
Tae Baek Gate which entwined the corruption in legal circles and the defense industries is the biggest mega corruption scandal
as high officials, military generals, politicians, and legal judicial officers are involved.
Today travel bans were issued against about 70 people for this case.
Over a dozen have been summoned and questioned. [Contract with Russia on resource development]
There's also a tentative speculation that there may be someone cooperating on the inside due to
the high speed of the investigation. [Biggest corruption scandal in history involving senior officials, politicians, and the judicial system]
(In Russian)
I heard you advisory committee members are not complying with the police summons.
I am looking into how the slush fund information has been leaked.
This type of chaos during a time we need national unity--
Unification? I understand you are in charge of the Russian resource development project.
You bought a company which produces less than 10 billion won of gas each year for 100 billion won.
The National Resource Development Company provided that money from the taxpayer's money.
The official rebate for this deal was 10%.
This file... has just been submitted to the police.
The police said this,
if anyone cooperates, they will be taken care of to the extent the law allows.
You people have exchanged the law for money.
Everything you have done will be revealed to the whole world.
All of you will end up being naked (in front of punishment).
If you want to beg for even a towel to cover your ass, everyone please respond to the police summons.
Foolish punk. If you followed what I said, you could have been Tae Baek's owner.
The path you didn't take and the path that my father gave up on.
I will take that road.
I will receive the proper punishment for the sins I committed and I will start over again.
So that my livelihood won't be something that commits a sin to the world
I will live that way.
Team Leader Kang Jeong Il, Soo Yeon and you will have a meeting for a cross-examination.
The investigation on the slush fund will be stopped at an appropriate time.
Those people who move this country are all entangled with this.
The fire would soon be put out.
Unprecedented in Korea History - Tae Baek Gate
Final responsibility is to the former President Choi Il Hwan
In hope the fire will not be put out, I will continue to add firewood.
Forget it.
The thoughts of protecting Tae Baek
and the delusion that you have a future left. Everything.
There are over a hundred who have been prohibited from leaving the country today.
It will soon be over two hundred then.
It's only just those after searching through half of Tae Baek's server.
I reviewed the law for your case.
Contracted trial, usage of slush fund. It would be at least 5 years of prison time. I would be scared if I were you.
If I were alone, it would have been scary.
When you returned to the police station, opposing the big Tae Baek, you were a rank and file police officer.
Weren't you scared investigating this case?
I guess I would have been scared if I were alone.
I would like to make a special audit team inside Tae Baek.
I think I need to pick up speed.
The day that I passed the bar exams comes to mind.
Even after confirming my name on the result list, I still called several times to re-check.
With thinking of fixing the broken justice and removing the hidden injustice.
I still remember how excited I was.
Attorneys Jo Gyeong Ho and Hwang Bo Yeon.
I think you remember how you felt on the day you passed the bar exam.
Please lead the internal audit team.
Since you are people who watched by Team Leader Kang Jeong Il and Choi Soo Yeon as they committed their crimes,
then the investigating files for those cases would be easy for you, right?
Well... then will we be receiving favorable--
No. Both of you will be punished too.
Right now, I am giving both of you a chance to write a reflection paper.
I am Lee Dong Joon who is in charge of managing the Tae Baek crisis.
Right now, Tae Baek is facing a crisis.
The former president and major figures in the company have been arrested.
The investigation of a slush fund is aimed squarely at Tae Baek.
For Tae Baek's involvement in these unsavory cases,
I am apologizing as the one who is in charge and am responsible.
i will conduct an internal audit for the illegal acts done thus far.
All employees should actively cooperate with the audit team.
Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be considered to have committed a criminal act.
I will submit that name list to the police.
On the morning of February 13, reporter Kim Seong Shik
was murdered at the fishing spot in Paju.
Kang Jeong Il has confessed everything about his crime.
Describe how the murder was contrived and how you carried out concealment.
From the fishing spot, we came back by Choi Soo Yeon's car.
Together with Choi Soo Yeon, we went to visit President Choi Il Hwan.
It was my mistake. The corpse has already sent to the National Institute of Scientific Investigation.
Stop it. Dad, please!
It's getting brighter. Before people see
we have a lot of things to cover up.
Choi Il Hwan blocked the press and controlled the police and prosecutor's office.
You bribed the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The circumstantial evidence has been caught that you put pressure to pass over the excessive medical expenses submitted by your mother's nursing home.
You visited the national health insurance agency.
Lee Dong Joon went to meet Choi Il Hwan, in order to seek a way to survive the evaluation for his reappointment.
Are you saying Mr. Choi Il Hwan made him submit at that time?
Do I look like someone who would accept rendering a judgment by contract?
I don't do such a pathetic thing!
Come up stepping on Shin Chang Ho.
Lee Dong Joon adjudged Dad... Sin Chang Ho guilty.
To defendant Sin Chang Ho,
I sentence 15 years under the criminal code, applying the charge of attempting to abandon the corpse.
It's Kang Jeong Il's testimony.
Please say if you have any objections to this statement so far.
Witness Statement
There would be none.
Even the judgment of the contract trial by Lee Dong Joon
was all submitted.
Choi Soo Yeon.
Dad.
Jin Cheol, request an arrest warrant for Choi Soo Yeon.
Yes.
The murderer was Kang Jeong Il, Choi Il Hwan took the lead in concealment of the murder and Choi Soo Yeon actively intervened in its process.
The one who made a judgment by contract was... Lee Dong Joon.
Lee Dong Joon... I'll ask for his arrest warrant.
Lee Dong Joon's arrest warrant has been processed. I will get the car ready.
Arrest warrant
Today is the 22nd, Jin Cheol? Let's go tomorrow.
Yes.
Arrest warrant: Lee Dong Joon
I cooked soybean paste stew with bangah leaves that you like.
I also made some lotus root but I don't know if it is seasoned right.
It's money I saved being a judge.
I will put it in the bank under your name.
Is two years enough to keep it tied up?
Three years... is enough for its expiration?
Should I place it for a longer time?
I'm sorry, Mom.
Dong Joon. I am proud of you.
I should be thankful that my son regrets it early
and so he can start over again.
Dong Joon, we have a lot of days left.
When you come out, let's live together in the nursing home.
It's sweet potato cake.
How did you know it's my favorite?
I'm Lieutenant Oh Jeong Pil of the special investigation unit.
Starting from now, we will be seizing everything regarding Tae Baek.
Now, go to every office and get all the files.
Please check the secretaries so that they can't destroy any documents.
What brings you here?
It's an arrest warrant.[Arrest Warrant]
Tae Baek
President Lee Dong Joon
Mr. Lee Dong Joon, you are under arrest for involvement in a slush fund and trial under contract.
You have the right to a lawyer.
I will not get a lawyer.
What I did was not worth being defended.
I will receive punishment according to how the prosecutor sees it and how the judge decides on it.
You also have the right to remain silent.
I was thankful.
If I didn't have you, I...
would have lived for that seat.
If it hadn't been for Shin Chang Ho, then I would still be using the same room with Choi Soo Yeon.
I am really thankful, Ms. Yeong Joo.
♫ We used to love the dawn ♫
Look at me.
♫ Looking through the _____ my way ♫
Look at me, Ms. Yeong Joo.
♫ I can feel the voice again anymore. ♫
♫ From you to me ♫
♫ Oh, I can feel the wind ♫
♫ Oh, I can't find you anymore ♫
♫ You will be delighted to run away ♫
♫ Oh, feel you ♫
♫ But you are far away always ♫
♫ Oh, I can feel the wind ♫
♫ Oh, I can't find you anymore ♫
♫ Oh, I will be delighted to run away ♫
♫ Oh, feel you. ♫
♫ But you are far away ♫
Thank you to Announcer Kim Yoon Sang and Reporter Jeong Hye Kyeong who made special appearances.
