< Green rose 21 >
This is all that I remember
You really don't remember the culprit?
I can't thank you enough for saving me
Sir!
I値l testify that you're innocent and that you rescued me
You remember I知 innocent but
you can't remember who tried to harm you?
I waited patiently for you to wake up
because your words alone can clear me
and punish the real culprit
I beg you, please
Who is the person who tried to kill you, killed the groundskeeper,
and made my mom take her life?
I caused your mother's death... I知 truly sorry
I値l clear your name
I will be and I must be cleared of all charges
What I want is punishment
Who is responsible?
I forced myself to be patient,
when in fact, I had conviction who was the culprit
I waited so he'd be punished by law
Who is it?
I can't believe you don't remember
You're hiding something
I was convicted of murder and arson
Without my mother's sacrifice, and miracle,
I would've rotted in prison till death
I知 living with an assumed identity
Is your reason to hide the truth greater
than my mother's death?
lf you won't tell me, I値l have to find the culprit myself
And from him, I値l find out the reason for your refusal to point out the real culprit
What did he say? Who's the culprit?
He's completely regained his consciousness now
You heard the details of that night, right?
He...
- He doesn't remember - What?
Why can't he remember?
The doctor said he's regained his memory
We'll begin with Chung Taek-soo
Aren't we going to stop them?
That's kidnapping
What are you doing? Why are you doing this?
There are laws in this country!
You can't just drag people out of bed and torture them
You hit me more than 30 times, huh?
Do you know who I am? I知 Chung Taek-soo!
O.K! Wait, wait
Mr. Jang...
I really don't know anything
Why torture an innocent man?
Wait!
I got it! Stop! Stop it! Why did you do this?
I値l spill the beans with speed!
Do you know what kind of men hate the most in the world?
The ones who say one thing and do another
Personally, I too despise people like that
So if you want to live, spit it all out
All right, all right! I値l spill my guts out
Chung Taek-soo. Who am I?
You're President Jang Joong-won of Dairyook Corporation
I知 Lee Jung-hyun who died at your hands
What? No... I did no such thing!
I didn't kill anyone! It wasn't me!
Who's the culprit of attempted murder of Chairman Oh Byung-moo
and arson on March 1 9, 2001 ?
I didn't kill him! I知 not the one!
- Cut it - What?
Cut what?
Cut the thumb, pointer finger, middle finger, ring finger and pinky
Please... Okay, okay I値l tell you everything!
Who's the culprit of the attempted murder and arson,
that took place on March 1 9, 2001 ?
Shin Hyun-tae killed the groundskeeper
- And Chairman Oh? - It was Shin, too
And the arson?
That was me...
But I was only following orders
Really? Cut his fingers off one at a time until he tells the truth
Okay! I値l talk
I set the fire as Shin told me to
lf Shin's your accomplice, why did you meet with Mr. Suh?
Shin told me to follow Mr. Suh
But Mr. Suh sniffed me out
I needed some money, so I worked for both of them
I deserve to die for what I did
Then, you should die! Guys!
Scumbag!
Please don't kill me, Mr. Jang
I値l ask again, Is Mr. Suh innocent from the crime of that night?
There were two possible culprits who framed me on the night of the crime
One set the house on fire, and the other knocked me unconscious
I only set the fire
Someone knocked me unconscious from the back after the fire had started
- I really don't know - Then who does?
lf someone hit you, it could've been Mr. Shin.
Shin?
What do you mean... could have been?
I didn't see him do it
But...
there were only me and him that night
I didn't do it so it must've been him
Mr.Shin must've done it
Knowing Shin was inside you still set the house on fire?
Yes, He said not to buy the paint thinner
in the neighborhood to avoid people's suspicion
Shin Hyun-tae, He told me you were inside
and to set the house on fire
So I threw the Molotov cocktail inside the house
and tried to get your fingerprints...
When I walked in from the back...
The chairman... He had collapsed by then
So I figured Mr. Shin was responsible
So he was still on the grounds then
He didn't dare leave after killing a person and starting a fire
He was out of it and so was
We couldn't work together as a team
He and I kept doing things incorrectly
We were so out of sync I thought I was going crazy
And what was your reward?
People think I made off with a bundle
All I got was a five-story building and some stocks...
And even that he held off saying
we'd be found out... I only got it last year
after much pleading
What? You exchanged someone's life for money?
Scumbag like him should get a taste of his own medicine
Guys, beat him to a pulp!
Not to a pulp?
Dad, How could you do this?
He took away four precious years of your life
And he framed the very person who risked his life to save you
He totally ruined his life and killed his mother
How could you of all people keep his name a secret? ln addition to Dad
We had no doubt we'd find out when you woke up
How could you keep it to yourself and not tell us?
Yeh? How ?
Please announce us
Both of you were asked to return to Seoul
He hasn't woken up yet
I don't see Mr. Chung around
He's already headed back
I値l be heading back then
Where's Soo-ah?
She's in her room
She was with the chairman and just went up to her room
- Let's go - Yes
This was a waste of time
That's not true
With all the possible suspects around, Chairman Oh regained his memory
And now that Chung was taken away, the true culprit will surface soon
Did you know?
What law can't resolve, a righteous fist will step in
Not something a detective should be saying
Laws were made to keep us on the right paths
lf laws can't keep us from going astray, this has to come into action
Fist of righteousness?
Hello? Mr. Shin.
Weren't you going to the vacation home with Soo-ah?
How's the chairman doing?
Will you call Soo-ah and ask how he's doing?
Never mind paying my respects, I didn't even get to see Soo-ah
Please So-ra...
< Chung Taek-soo >
Why won't he tell us who the real culprit is?
I know you're anxious, but please be patient a little longer
I agree with him, Soo-ah!
Our desire to know the truth can't be compared to
what Jung-hyun's going through
He wants to be alone
Who's the culprit of the attempted murder and arson,
that took place on March 1 9, 2001 ?
Shin Hyun-tae, Shin Hyun-tae killed the groundskeeper
And Chairman Oh?
It was Shin, too
And the arson?
That was me...
But I was only following orders
It was Shin Hyun-tae who tried to kill you
He killed the groundskeeper and had Chung Taek-soo set the house on fire
Is it true?
Is what he said true?
Shin Hyun-tae was your favorite employee
You wanted him to be your son-in-law
So why would he try to kill you?
All right, if you won't tell me,
with Chung's confession, I知 going to make Shin Hyun-tae pay for his crime
Look
I don't want him to pay I can't let him be punished
with Chung's confession, I知 going to make Shin Hyun-tae pay for his crime
The man who's responsible for your mother's death
and ruined your life... is me
Why are you saying it was you?
Please give me an explanation
I知 begging you
He killed the groundskeeper,
is responsible for you being comatose for 4 years,
and set the house on fire
And framed me for all the crime!
What's more, He didn't only infringe my life
he drove my mother who lived her life for her only son, to death!
And to cover up his crime, he killed another woman!
He killed your secretary Cha Yoo-ran
Cha Yoo-ran?
He killed Cha Yoo-ran
Not everyone can be forgiven
You can forgive him but I could never forgive him
When I think about the despair and pain my mother must've suffered
before deciding to end her life...
What could I possibly do for my mother
who had nothing but her life to give to her son?
To claim my innocence, my mother went from one pharmacy
to another to kill herself
Just 4 days
Do you know how much I regretted and kicked myself
lf I hadn't said that for telling her that l wanted to be out of prison for just a day?
lf I had been behind bars for the rest of my life, my mother would still be alive!
Do you know how much I want to hurt myself for my careless words?
I could never, ever forgive him!
Look... When I die
and meet your mother in the other world,
I will accept any punishment she gives me
Why do you ask me to forgive Shin Hyun-tae?
Why won't you tell me the reason you're asking me to forgive him?
Why must I forgive him?
The moment you go to the authorities claiming he's the killer,
S.R. Electronics will go crumbling down
lt'll never recover from bad publicity
if people learn that the highest ranking executive is a murderer
So I must forgive him for the sake of 35,000 employees?
Do I forgive him?
I told you how I survived,
and why mother had to take her own life, and you still want me to forgive him?
You and Hyun-tae both paid dearly for my sins
Now if my sins drive 35,000 employees to lose their jobs because of me...
lt's all my fault
You should kill me instead
Kill me and forgive Hyun-tae
Kill me!
Dad!
Mom!
I知 begging you Can't you forgive him?
Kill me...
Kill me and forgive Hyun-tae
Why do I have to? Why, why,
why?
I have to go to him Let me go
What would you say?
Are you going to ask him to forgive or to seek revenge?
Mom, I知 your son I知 just your son...
I知 not god, but just a person
I hurt when I知 hit and cry when it hurts. I知 just human
So why must I forgive him?
Answer me, Mom
How much longer do we have to hurt for the pain to end?
How much longer do we have to suffer for his pain to heal?
It hurts to just see him in pain
How am I going to treat his deep, bleeding wound?
He held my hand and squeezed it He's regained his memory
So why isn't he accusing me?
I have to be careful, lt's just the beginning Just the beginning!
So-rah?
Mr. Shin, the chairman has regained his memory
The chairman has regained... Mr. Shin!
He said that Jang Joong-won...
No, he said Lee Jung-hyun wasn't the killer
So don't worry too much
Soo-ah was right
Jung-hyun isn't the killer
Are you listening?
Yes! That's good news
lt's all because of you, Mr.Shin!
You shouldn't worry any more and get some rest
Answer it!
Who are you?
What a way to barge into someone's home...
Tao-ren
Who's the culprit of the attempted murder and arson,
that took place on March 1 9, 2001 ?
Shin Hyun-tae, Shin Hyun-tae killed the groundskeeper
And Chairman Oh?
It was Shin, too
And the arson?
That was me... But I was only following orders
Really? Cut his fingers off one at a time until he tells the truth
The chairman wants me to forgive you
What's his reason?
I know that you're responsible for the hellish 4 years of my life
Now that I know the truth, won't take it any more.
You won't take it any more?
l've thought of thousands of ways this would turn out.
But this wasn't one of them.
The chairman asked you to forgive me?
So you show up here like some gangster and threaten me?
I won't ask again.
Why does the chairman want me to forgive you?
I thought you really were going after a bigger dream when
I learned you were working with a smart woman like Cha Yoo-ran.
But you're acting like a small-time gangster.
Should I tell you the real reason you came here?
lt's because you can't have me arrested with what's on that tape.
lsn't that right? lsn't it?
Even if Chung testifies that I did it,
the chairman will say I wasn't the killer.
How much credibility does Chung's testimony have?
Between him who served time for gambling
and the chairman of S.R. Electronics,
which one has more credibility?
That's why you came here. You know you can't win.
lf the chairman testifies that I wasn't the killer,
it'll be just Chung without an accomplice.
Will he just sit back and be convicted of murder?
You know him better than I do.
The future of S.R. Electronics will be unclear, if you're convicted of murder
Will the jury take into consideration that the chairman might
commit perjury to save his company?
I came here because I want to know the truth.
I want to know why you tried to harm a man who wanted you as a son-in-law.
I want to know why the chairman is crying tears of regret.
Crying tears of regret?
Look, you unfortunate guy.
His crocodile tears seemed like tears of regret to you?
He's not trying to forgive me.
That old man is trying to hide
his dirty, smelly, rotten past.
Yes, that's right, his past.
It may be past for him, but to me, it's pain that will last forever.
Dad!
I bought melons.
Dad!
He killed my dad.
He already had more than enough, but he wanted more,
so he took what was my dad's, and even killed him.
My dad was the only family I had in this world.
He killed my dad in front of me.
That was the last time I saw my dad.
You lived 4 hellish years?
lt's been more than 20 years for me.
You want the law to punish me?
Without evidence or witnesses to help me, I dreamed of revenge.
Not knowing he was my enemy, who killed my dad,
I begged him to save my dad.
He was the only one I could trust.
lf you must have me punished, I must punish Chairman Oh as well.
That's not true. What you want is revenge, not punishment.
An innocent groundskeeper was killed and so was
a woman you used and dumped.
And my mother who devoted her life to her only son is dead!
Yes, I知 sorry about your mother.
But don't think that I framed you when you were completely innocent.
I wanted to kill you
more than anyone.
The day I found out the chairman was the man who killed my dad,
Soo-ah was what stopped me from killing him.
I was confused between love and hatred for 20 years because of Soo-ah.
And you appeared out of nowhere
and took her away from me.
Do you know the tears of blood I cried seeing her go to you?
lf you hadn't come between us... lf you had been disappeared...
I wanted to kill that old man because I thought this day might come.
I was worried that he'd gain consciousness.
I had a bad dream. But I couldn't kill that old man. Why?
Because of Soo-ah!
You're the one who came between me and Soo-ah.
You're the one who ruined my plan for revenge and my love!
I知 warning you. Go back as Jang Joong-won.
lf you want to go back to being Lee Jung-hyun, I will have to fight with you.
You do it your way and I値l do it my way. We'll go to the end.
Police station?
l'd like to report a break in at my home. Would you please come?
You don't deserve to be forgiven.
The address is Jamwon-dong, Dong-il Apartments number 501 .
You went to Shin Hyun-tae's place?
You should've taken me!
I have to avenge Yoo-ran's death.
Did he beg you for forgiveness?
Chairman Oh's regained his memory
and Chung Taek-soo confessed that he's the killer.
Didn't he beg you to spare his life? I guess he wouldn't have...
Did he want to make a deal?
He didn't offer you money to forget the whole thing?
He wants to go all the way.
All the way? Is he out of his mind?
He said he'd do it his way, and I should do it my way.
What makes him so bold?
You should take him up on his offer!
He's crazy, isn't he?
What happened to Chung Taek-soo?
I知 so uncomfortable!
Are you trying to tease me?
l'd rather than tying up me.
How could you play cards in front of me?
Excuse me, can't you untie me?
I won't run away!
Please untie me. Let me give you some pointers.
Untie me, please...
Ace of spade.
< OH SOO-AH>
Do as you please. I値l go along with whatever you decide.
Yes, it's me.
Did you file the petition for a retrial?
You must be psychic.
I just filed it.
I will reclaim my identity.
Of course. Just get the chairman's statement.
Just make sure of Chairman Oh's witness
Is that right? Then come to my office. I知 on my way.
I知 going to fight to the end.
But you're going up against a big name in politics.
The people are counting on you to win.
- Good luck. - Thank you!
The truth should come out.
Truth is the heartbeat of our society.
- Prosecutor Oh. - Wait...
- Excuse me.Thank you. - Thank you!!
Look at you. How could you call me that?
Why, that is your title.
Stop being sarcastic.
What brings you here to court?
There's a case involving an influential political figure.
I couldn't let someone else handle it.
You must be busy.
I just petitioned for a retrial for Lee Jung-hyun?
Really? Then I値l see you in court.
Will it be all right for you to lose?
No, I will win victoriously. Victoriously!!
I don't understand
how you can be so confident
you'll win with such a botched investigation.
Botched investigation?
Lee Jung-hyun's fingerprints
were found on the can of paint thinner.
DNA tests confirmed that it was his skin
that was found under the groundskeeper's nail.
Now I see that your attitude was the mistake made in the first trial.
You assumed he was guilty and only looked for evidence to prove it.
All right, see you in court. See you!!
- Yes, sir. - lt's me.
Attorney Chung petitioned for a retrial for Lee Jung-Hyun.
He must have solid evidence to prove his innocence.
What did he discover?
Sir, if I may say you a advice
you should stay out of Lee Jung-hyun case,
lt's the best.
What? Stay out?
Look, I handled his trial!
Who else should do it but me?
Watch it! You know my temper!
Don't.
- Let go! - Give me the phone.
Blessing will come to those who are patient.
He doesn't pay me! lt's the citizens who pay me!
l've only been patient with him
because he's my boss!
Hold me up as a position?
But a boss should earn his respect by setting an example!
You're right.
You always set an example for me, sir!
Yes, sir!
I only got it last year after much pleading.
Chairman Oh asked you to forgive them
despite Chung Taek-soo's confession?
Yes.
But he'll testify that you weren't the killer. Won't he?
He'll testify for your innocence,
but wants you to forgive the culprits?
What do you plan to do?
You've already decided.
Will you leave us alone?
Sir.
Why did you do it?
Why did you do that to Shin Hyun-tae's father?
And how could you
not recognize him?
Please tell me
what happened that night.
