The same goes for me.
I have...
two dads.
Really?
I'll tell you my story next time...
when I have the chance.
I'm not so comfortable with it either.
My dad...
also passed away due to a fire accident.
It smells nice.
Did you sleep well?
Yes.
How about you? Did you sleep well?
Yes.
But why are you cooking so much food?
You're right.
Hey.
Are you two trying to kill me or something?
Ms. Eun must've cooked this. Am I right?
I'm sure it wasn't Mr. No who cooked this.
No, it wasn't me.
But it looks delicious. Does it taste bad?
You lack in so many ways.
I already heard everything.
I wasn't going to oppose of your relationship,
but I really can't accept you.
I... I really didn't cook this.
(Postponement)
I started a fire in Doboo-dong two years ago, and someone died.
But someone else got arrested as the culprit,
so I confessed everything to the police as I felt too guilty.
You made a confession last time.
You said you were the one who caused a fire and killed someone.
And?
You just told me to leave back then.
I changed my mind.
I don't think I should let go of that case so easily.
I also...
changed my mind.
I'm going to take back...
my confession.
Mr. Lee, wait.
Hello, Mr. Ji.
Hello, Prosecutor Na.
Can I ask you something?
Of course.
Go ahead.
That guy who was with Prosecutor Cha just now...
Do you know who he is?
He's an arsonist.
An arsonist?
Yes. My heart caught fire because of...
He apparently started a fire at someone's house...
or a car.
He's a serial arsonist.
An arsonist?
Yes, Mr. No. What's going on?
I have a favor to ask.
It's a personal issue.
A personal issue?
Are you two going to register your marriage already?
I'm sorry. It was lame, wasn't it?
There's something I'd like to know regarding my parents' death.
I'd like to know the circumstances of the incident...
or...
who the culprit was.
Things like that.
Why do you suddenly wish to know about the past?
I just suddenly...
became curious.
Okay. I'll look into it as quickly as...
No, no.
You don't need to rush.
It's nothing urgent.
It might be a better idea to take it slow.
Just...
take it slow.
You can slowly...
look into it.
Okay. I'll do that.
(Lawyer Ji Eun Hyuk)
What?
I'm just looking at...
what you're up to.
I'm working. What else would I be doing?
Oh, I see.
I'll help you.
You said you needed help.
I don't care if it's complicated or simple.
I want to get rid of all these useless thoughts in my head.
I'm up for anything that can help me focus.
I'll help you.
What's with this sudden kindness?
Thank you for the offer,
- but I don't have anything for you. - You don't have anything?
No. I had some paperwork to take care of, which you hate doing,
but I'm almost done with that.
And the only criminal case...
I'm in charge of right now...
is that appeal trial regarding the fire accident.
Thanks for offering, but you don't need to help.
- I'll do it. - What?
I'll take that case.
But Ji Wook, it's regarding a fire incident.
No. No, it's fine.
It's not like I never worked on arson cases as a prosecutor.
Yes, I think I can do it.
It'll be doable. I'll be all right. I'll help you.
Will you really be okay?
Yes.
Let's do it together, Mr. No.
I'll help too.
Will you be okay with it?
All right, then.
He's Kang Sun Il, the man who was sentenced to 10 years in jail...
for the arson case in Doboo-dong. He's preparing for an appeal now.
I looked through the case files from that time.
(Doboo-dong Arson Case, 2015)
Kang Sun Il was ruled guilty due to...
the presence of a motive, circumstantial evidence,
and the witness statement.
You said that Chae Sung Woo hit Kang Sun Il's daughter...
with his car, right? It was a DUI hit-and-run.
That's correct. After the accident,
Kang Sun Il visited Chae Sung Woo from time to time and said...
things like, "I won't let it slide. I'll get my daughter's revenge."
I think he threatened him.
He was even taken to a police station because of it.
The one day, the fire broke out.
And Chae Sung Woo died due to the fire.
But Kang Sun Il is insisting that he was wrongly accused...
and that he's innocent.
Well, that's right.
So what are you saying, Yoo Jung?
Do you want to keep digging this up?
Are you out of your mind? The DA wants us to just bury it.
Whoever that admits the prosecution's mistakes...
or exposes its true face can't survive in the organization.
Just like what happened to Mr. No because of the Eun Bong Hee case.
You know what happened.
Mr. No...
I can't believe...
that you're my man now.
- You were out? - I'm back now.
(Arson Case Victim Personal Records, Name: Eun Man Soo)
(Wife: Park Young Soon, Daughter: Eun Bong Hee)
(Arson Case Report)
(Prosecutor in Charge: Jang Moo Young)
("A Prosecutor Couple Died in an Unfortunate Revenge Arson")
I'm sorry, but...
I read that file.
I see.
You read it?
He's Ms. Eun's father,
isn't he? The suspect, Eun Man Soo.
Yes. But it doesn't matter.
It's not like Bong Hee did it herself.
It's not like back in the days. Guilt-by-association isn't valid.
It has nothing to do...
with Bong Hee, don't you think?
Bong Hee...
really has...
nothing...
to do with it, Mr. Bang.
Aren't I right?
Everyone is waiting.
Oh, right. I'll come down right now.
- Here. - Thanks.
- Please have this piece. - Gosh, it's hot.
It tastes even better with the dipping sauce.
That's right.
It's spicy.
It's sort of like bindaetteok, isn't it?
- You can say that. - Right?
It's American-style bindaetteok.
I haven't heard "bindaetteok" in such a long time.
Yes, totally.
- Try the original. - It's good.
Yes, it's delicious.
No...
Are you... Are you okay?
I...
I'm all right.
For how long have you been standing there?
For a while.
For a while?
What is that for?
Don't get the wrong idea.
I was worried about you, Mr. No.
I mean you kept having nightmares and couldn't sleep, Ji Wook.
I didn't have any other agenda.
I didn't have an ulterior motive. Don't misunderstand me. Okay?
I don't know.
I still don't know even if you glare at me like that.
Fine. I get it.
You are really okay, right?
Yes, I'm all right.
Ji Wook,
why did you become a prosecutor?
My dad...
was a prosecutor.
You wanted to be like your dad.
Yes.
Your dad...
must be proud of you.
I don't know.
I'm not sure about that.
Why wouldn't he be?
What about you, Bong Hee?
Sorry?
Why did you become an attorney?
I...
became an attorney because of one perverted judge.
I stopped being an athlete...
and started studying to become an attorney.
As I studied deeper into the subject,
I began to think that I was fated to become one.
I think...
I became an attorney to defend people...
like my dad.
What kind of people are they?
People like me.
Innocent people who were misunderstood by the world...
and wrongfully framed.
Every criminal in the world...
Excuse me?
Nothing.
It's nothing.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Bong Hee.
I put all the healthy ingredients in this.
I can see that.
- The color... - Doesn't it look healthy?
Exactly.
That really looks healthy.
Did you put the tea for the insomnia in this?
No, I didn't.
Thank you for this.
Then give me a morning kiss.
I sweated a lot from exercise and probably stink.
Let me wash up.
But that's the good part.
What's going on?
Goodness, darn it.
Is he...
upset because it tastes horrible?
Gosh, this tastes terrible.
I can see why he got upset.
That's understandable.
This is probably why.
Ji Hye.
Yoo Jung.
What? Why are you here?
Then why are you here?
I live in this building.
I do too.
Since when?
Since last week.
Did you move here then?
I did.
You followed me all the way here.
Pardon? What did you say?
I'm glad I'm your role model and everything.
You followed me and moved into this building.
That's a bit creepy.
The more I get to know you, my opinion of you is changing more.
You were putting on makeup in the elevator,
which is a public space like a bus or train.
I find it a bit out of line.
This is understandable nowadays.
It's not like I do this every day.
"See one and you've seen them all."
How can you see all after seeing just one?
It's hard to truly figure out a person after seeing him or her once.
We call this...
the error of a hasty generalization, Yoo Jung.
Hey, Ji Hye.
You are very disrespectful these days.
Do you know that?
Mr. Lee, wait.
I definitely saw him from somewhere.
Where did I see him?
I can't seem to remember him. Gosh.
Mr. Ji, you are distracting me.
He's been like this for the last few days.
He's looking for someone whom he doesn't know.
That guy who was with Prosecutor Cha just now...
Do you know who he is?
He's an arsonist.
He's an arsonist? An arsonist...
The witness who testified for Kang Sun Il's case...
- Ms. Eun. - Yes?
You are truly amazing.
All right.
I found him.
His name is Lee Joon Hae.
Ahh...
Yes, that's it.
All right.
I found him.
His name is Lee Joon Hae.
May I approach the witness, Your Honor?
(2 years ago)
Witness.
At the time of the incident,
you saw the person who got out of the victim's house...
during the fire and ran away, right?
Yes.
I did.
The witness who stated that he saw Kang Sun Il on the scene...
- was Lee Joon Hae. - He's sitting right there.
It was that man.
He even attended the trial as a witness.
But he happened to be an arsonist himself.
Was it really a coincidence?
So to summarize it all,
an arsonist witnessed an arson and reported it to the police.
It could've been a coincidence.
- However... - It's possible that it wasn't.
If I was the prosecutor in charge,
I would've considered him one of the suspects...
You probably would have.
I say that because many of those who commit arson...
seek heroism, and that's why they start fires.
"I'll start a fire and call the police to become a hero."
- Something like that. - That's right.
I've seen some of them acting as if they're witnesses...
in the news.
That's right. I've heard of such cases too.
That's why the police make sure to film the scene for arson cases.
It's highly likely that the arsonist is one of the spectators.
Then we should try to find videos from the arson scene...
or news clips related to the case.
We should also go through the list of petty arson cases in the area.
If our guess is right, his name will very likely be on the list.
Mr. Bang, please take care of it.
Yes, you know a lot of people in the police and the fire department.
- Please help us out. - Gosh...
What's wrong?
The stab wound is achy and itchy.
I'm all right now.
- Just take it easy, then. - I...
- We'll take care of it. - I'll do it.
- No, what are you talking about?
It's my job to take care of such laborious tasks. I'll...
I'm not getting a personal secretary, driver,
or an office manager, but I'll...
- Let's find it ourselves. - Okay.
- All right. - I'll be back soon.
- Okay. - Take it easy, Mr. Bang.
- Get some rest. - I'm really okay.
See you guys soon.
I didn't think there would be this many people who have...
committed or attempted arson.
I know, right?
If Lee Joon Hae really was the arsonist,
Kang Sun Il, who's behind bars right now, must be...
extremely upset at being falsely accused.
He didn't even set the fire,
yet he's been turned into an arsonist and murderer.
I'm not sure what to say. So far,
no evidence that can prove his innocence has turned up.
We should dig more.
I know. But now, there's a possibility...
that he may have been falsely accused.
I know that, but I don't think you should empathize too much.
I'm not empathizing with him.
I'm just trying to be fair and keep all possibilities open.
Well, from the way I see it,
it looks like you're overly empathizing with him.
As an attorney, I don't think this much empathy is excessive.
- This is why attorneys... - I know.
You don't like them.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I apologize.
Me too.
(Fire Station)
Where's the next fire station?
Haeim Fire Station.
Prosecutor Cha isn't here at the moment.
(Cha Yoo Jung)
My gosh.
Hello, Mr. Ji.
Hello, Prosecutor Na.
We've been running into each other a lot lately.
Yes, we have.
By the way, have you seen Prosecutor Cha today?
Why do you need to see her?
Why do you think? It's for work, of course.
Even if you don't emphasize that it's for work,
I won't get the wrong idea.
Pardon me?
You have her number, right?
Yes, of course.
Yet you're making a point of asking me about her.
Well... I have to take care of something, so I should get going.
All right. I'll see you some other time.
See you.
You had a long day today.
You should get some rest.
Actually,
is there something you're hiding from me?
What?
So there is.
No, I'm not hiding anything.
I'll believe you.
Bong Hee.
I keep wondering if I've done something wrong. Have I?
No, it's nothing like that.
It's about me, not you. It's something I need to work out myself.
And I'm not allowed...
to ask you what it's about?
All right.
Is this another coincidence?
No, it's not. I tried calling you, but you didn't pick up.
Oh, you did?
I don't check my phone often because I rarely get calls.
What's up?
There's something I'd like to check.
What is it?
It'll only take five minutes.
I'm tired, and my feet are killing me.
I want to take these heels off right now.
- You can follow me if you want. - What?
Hey.
What is it that you want to check?
Oh, right. I'm working on an appeal case now.
The witness of the case is...
Lee Joon Hae?
Yes.
He's the one who attempted the arson, isn't he?
And he's the culprit of the case you're working on.
- What? - He confessed.
But the high-ups want me to bury it.
That is complete nonsense.
Here.
What is this?
I dug up some intel on Lee Joon Hae.
You can use it for the trial if you'd like.
Can you do this though?
I don't even know.
It's getting late. You should get going if you're done.
All right. Thanks for this.
You can stay overnight if you want.
What?
I was joking.
How can you make such a joke?
You think I'm a witch no matter what I do.
Doesn't the joke suit me perfectly?
No.
Hey, Yoo Jung. Stop beating yourself up.
It's not good for you.
Anyway,
why didn't you tell Ji Wook...
that nothing...
happened on that night?
Whether it was a mistake or not,
it is true that something could have...
happened on that night.
I see.
Then what about you?
Why didn't you tell him?
Because it is true that I...
hurt him.
Yes, Mr. Bang.
I'm still a bachelor.
I can't believe I have a stab wound on my stomach.
I'm so worried that I wouldn't be able to meet someone.
What do you guys think about this?
Well, I think...
it's great.
I love it.
Right.
I think it's going to be okay.
What's great?
What is so great and will be okay?
I'm sorry.
Me too.
What are you two so worried about?
I'm not married, and yet I'm raising four adults. I'm drinking...
soda because I was stabbed in the stomach.
Why do you look so down? Your lives are not that bad.
I think I made a mistake.
Everything is my fault.
It's my fault too.
Gosh.
Why are you apologizing?
To be honest, you two are in a bind.
Then...
what should I do?
It seems like I'm out of options.
Mr. Bang, you should tell me what I should do.
- Goodness. - Please?
Give me advice for me first.
I can't figure this out.
Unbelievable. Mr. Bang!
You got your stitches only recently. How can you drink like this?
Goodness,
why are you crying? Are you that drunk?
I drank soda.
Do you think I'd believe that?
What kind of person cries after drinking soda?
- Goodness, you are in trouble. - Wait.
It's Bong Hee. Hey, Bong Hee. Bong Hee!
Have a glass.
It is soda.
- Have 2 glasses. - No, have only 1.
Bong Hee, have one.
- Take 2 glasses. - No, have just 1.
Since she's late, take two glasses.
Since she's late, take one glass.
Fine. Take three then.
Goodness.
Gosh.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- We're going. - Another round?
- No, no. - Don't do that.
- This way. - It's my fault.
Be careful.
I'm all right.
Hold on. Just sit here for a while.
Let me bring you some water.
We...
should never break up, Bong Hee.
Even if I tell you to leave me,
don't leave.
We...
should only think about ourselves.
Don't leave me.
Please?
I won't.
Don't worry.
Mr. Byun hid those because he wanted to have them to himself.
I can eat them all in secret...
and pretend that I didn't eat them.
If that's the case,
I'll be an accomplice.
All right.
I'm ready for my session.
Tell me whatever is bothering you.
I...
won't consult you about my relationship.
It's only between me and Mr. No.
I won't talk about it.
You have a problem with Ji Wook.
No, I don't.
Ji Wook...
is a bit weird these days, right?
Yes.
No.
You're right.
To be honest,
he's a bit strange.
I think the case he's working on now...
must remind him of his parents' incident.
By the way,
the same applies for you too, Ms. Eun.
My dad also passed away in a fire.
But Ji Wook...
was in the fire with them.
So he might have been traumatized deeply.
Whether he remembers it or not,
he witnessed the whole scene with his own eyes.
Besides,
he was the lone survivor.
He must feel guilty about it.
I see.
Looking back,
how could I have not figured it out?
On the list of the arsonists in the district,
Lee Joon Hae is only registered for attempted arsons.
Lee Joon Hae was in the video...
of the fire on the day of the incident,
That's right,
but it can't be used as evidence to prove...
his guilt.
No.
Lee Joon Hae is the arsonist.
I have an informant.
That's great, but until the end,
we shouldn't conclude whether he's guilty or not.
Let's take a look first.
I have the photos of the scene.
Will you be okay?
Yes, I'll be.
There were countless hints.
Why...
hadn't I figured it out?
(Currently under trial)
Witness, I believe you know quite a lot about xylene.
Excuse me? What is that?
According to my research,
I'm aware that your occupation is related to producing...
paints, varnish, and adhesives at Cheonho Chemicals.
Am I mistaken?
In the process of producing these chemicals,
xylene is used.
Oh, that.
I think so.
Xylene is considered to be a very strong inflammable material.
Moreover,
it was also used to cause a fire in Doboo-dong two years ago...
by the arsonist.
By any chance, were you aware of this fact?
No, I didn't know that.
Is that so?
Then how should I explain this?
Mr. Lee Joon Hae...
recently got arrested by the police for...
attempted incendiarism.
But a female prosecutor just told me to leave back then.
The police confiscated the flammable material from Mr. Lee,
and they requested a component analysis.
According to the analysis, it contained a mixture of xylene.
They also did a comparative analysis...
with the material that caused the fire two years ago.
The result showed that the two flammables were almost identical.
There are times when you come to a sudden realization.
Excuse me. I have to go somewhere.
Hey, Mom.
I attended a trial today.
There was this man...
who was falsely accused of murder and arson.
Fortunately, it looks like...
the appeal trial will lead to a positive result.
So I think it'll all turn out well.
Really?
Yes. Really.
So I feel great right now.
I just wanted to tell you this.
But...
But Mom...
Yes? What is it?
Well...
Never mind.
I'm busy right now,
so I'll call you again later. I'm going to hang up now.
How could I not have known?
("A Prosecutor Couple Died in an Unfortunate Revenge Arson")
I read the article regarding my dad's accident so many times...
that I practically memorized the story of the victim's family.
(8-year-old son, involved in an assault incident, prosecutor couple)
Ji Wook and his parents...
were supposed to go on a family picnic...
on the day after his dad had passed away.
The anniversary date of both our fathers' deaths.
(No Young Suk, June 15, 1994)
(Eun Man Soo, June 15, 1994)
I lost both my parents in a fire accident when I was young.
My dad passed away first.
My mom got transported to a hospital,
but she passed away...
not too soon after that.
Ji Wook, why did you become a prosecutor?
My dad...
was a prosecutor.
I guess you wanted to become like your dad.
Yes.
Good work, Ji Wook.
- Thanks. See you. - Okay.
Thank you. I think I'll win this case thanks to you.
Of course.
Will you be okay?
Well, I didn't let go of the case like they told me to,
so I'm guessing I'll just get chewed out.
But I'm never going to quit my job...
because you guys refused to take me in.
Hey, Bong Hee.
I couldn't find you, so I was wondering if you already left.
I was reminded of something urgent.
I see. It's nothing serious, right?
Okay. I'll wait for you at home.
Some people think...
they've achieved justice through such petty cases like this.
But you see, in this world...
In this world, there's an order.
In order for this world to keep that order in place,
there must be small sacrifices made by people like you.
All I need is for you to become a murderer.
I'm not wrong.
That means it is unacceptable to make any kind of mistake...
that could harm the order of an organization,
the order of the law, and the order of power.
We cannot afford to make a single prosecution mistake whatsoever.
Do you understand?
Excuse me. I have to go somewhere.
Okay.
Hey, where are you?
Oh, really? Then I'll go to where you are.
I'll be right there. Okay.
I want to eat tteokbokki.
Tteokbokki?
Do you want to?
- Here? - Of course.
- Just wait here for a little bit. - What?
I'll buy you tteokbokki, sundae, gimbap, and everything else.
- I can... - Wait here. I'll be right back.
How does it taste? Is it delicious?
It's delicious.
Eat up.
It's delicious, but it's a little too spicy.
I almost cried.
Let's take a photo with that cat.
Shall we do that?
Here we go.
In 1, 2, 3.
Why isn't it working?
- Bong Hee. - Yes?
You're taking a video right now.
- Oh, really? - Yes.
My gosh.
You were right.
Dummy.
Is it good?
Postponement.
My futile effort...
to postpone it to a moment...
and a step later.
Let's...
break up.
(Epilogue)
Move. Get off of me, please!
Gosh, seriously.
Hey.
Hey, let go!
(Love in Trouble)
