Is it impossible for you to accept my love?

My Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

I don't like that look on your face

Is it impossible for you to accept my love?

You're Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

You're making me sad

Is it impossible for you to accept my love?

My Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa

I don't like that look on your face

Is it impossible for you to accept my love?

Tae Kyung.

Wouldn't it be better to continue doing things as we always have?

I hire you for a case,

you take care of it,

and we both stay silent.

That's our deal, right?

Let us...

keep our eyes ahead from now on,

Tae Kyung.

Woo Yong.

What have you done?

You're right.

Your brother's accident might not have been...

a coincidence.

Who killed...

my brother?

(Episode 7)

Mom, don't cry.

It has been ruled as a suicide.

His family didn't want an autopsy either.

Everyone involved in the murder case...

from seven years ago...

has died.

Do you truly not know who killed Yang Chul Ki?

And about your brother's accident...

Knowing it won't change anything.

Is the next date...

fixed yet?

I think we need to quickly get on it.

Be careful.

Yes, sir.

(My Brother)

(My Brother)

Is this why you suspected me?

(Call Logs)

(This is delivery. We broke your goods by accident.)

There was nothing there.

You were deceived by Yang Chul Ki.

He killed...

your brother.

He killed Tae Ju?

Why do you think he had your brother's phone?

They aren't the real culprits who killed your brother.

The real culprit is someone else!

He committed the murder that day.

And your brother unluckily went there that day...

and got involved.

That's why he...

That could be possible.

But why would he?

For what?

When he made you run that far to get your brother's phone,

he blackmailed me as well.

He said he knew what we did seven years ago.

How would he know that?

That's not important.

What's important is that he's dead.

And if the world finds out about what we did that day,

we'll lose everything.

If it was truly Yang Chul Ki's doing,

that means...

we got the wrong individuals.

Or he could've ordered them to do so.

Even if that's not the case,

those scumbags would've killed more people...

and lived useless lives.

Don't feel guilty.

But...

That means we weren't aware of the truth.

Do you think there is an ultimate truth?

Truth shines more brightly...

when you add lies to it.

Woo Yong.

What have we done?

Don't you know what I've been doing all along?

Don't you know why I had to come this far?

Is it truly because of your brother?

Is he truly the reason why you came this far?

What do you mean?

In the beginning, you made a choice.

And now that choice has become your life.

Your fate was chosen by you,

not by your brother.

I had no other choice.

You're wrong.

You knew exactly what choice you made.

That's why you were in pain, couldn't sleep properly,

drank yourself to sleep every night,

and spent your money like water.

Then what else could I've done?

You hid behind your brother and pretended to be tormented.

But you went on and enjoyed the life that you chose to live.

You didn't want to go back...

to your powerless and penniless life.

You hypocrite.

Now, you need to make a choice.

Either use your brother as an excuse...

to wrap up your current lifestyle and go back to your old life.

Or keep living the life you have now.

I'm sorry, Tae Kyung...

for making you doubt me...

and for making you feel lonely.

"It's really not raining at all."

"You're better than the weather service."

"It's a relief that it wasn't a major TV station."

"I had a feeling that it wasn't ordinary."

"I have no money to keep going."

What's wrong, Young Mi?

Young Mi.

Goodness, please try to stop Mom.

I don't have time to eat at home.

Yes?

I'm on my way.

Dad, something urgent came up, so I'm leaving now.

(Unresolved Murder Case of Studio in Ahyeon-dong)

(Murder suspect, Yang Chul Ki)

(7 previous convictions)

(No traces of sexual assault, no murder weapon found)

(Only family member, mother)

(Victim, Choi Soo Jeong)

(National Forensics Service)

The NFS concluded...

that the MO is completely different from the one from seven years ago.

Seven years ago, Yang Chul Ki was the killer.

Then who killed this girl from Jang Entertainment this time?

And why...

after seven years?

My goodness, she's much better than...

a dozen of men.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you for joining this boring get-together of prosecutors.

It's an honor, sir.

I should thank you...

for your generous invitation.

- As for this get-together... - Of course, this is our treat.

These days, we're most careful about anything...

that could be seen as a bribe.

No wonder the drink tasted especially sweet today.

I guess it's all thanks to that.

Anyway,

what will you do with that troublemaker?

I've been paying close attention to her.

She could just pretend to be a prosecutor...

with that silver spoon in her mouth.

I don't know why she's so adamant in stirring things up.

She shouldn't be so rash...

for the sake of her father.

I thought this was for prosecutors only.

I'm sorry.

When I heard that you, the minister, was joining,

I begged them to invite me.

I'm not the minister yet!

Don't you invite me to this kind of meetings again.

Now, you need to make a choice.

Either use your brother as an excuse...

to wrap up your current lifestyle and go back to your old life.

Or...

keep living the life you have now.

Darn it.

I've never seen someone die in front of me.

Do a better job filming this, you jerk.

Why are you going this far?

For someone else's revenge,

must you kill?

I don't have to give you a reason.

You made your choices...

and I just made my own.

What do you want from me?

To not forget...

what I did for you tonight.

Have you ever recognized someone...

who had a soul just like yours right away?

Woo Yong.

I must be real trash.

After what I did, I still want to have a good life.

Why did you really do it?

You smashed a fake and acted out of character.

Because you suspected me over that.

After a mere comment from a thug.

You're right.

I guess...

I was just afraid.

About what happened.

If they could get away with it,

any human being...

would choose their well-being over the lives of hundreds.

Is it because of strong desires?

No.

It's because we're normal people.

Humans choose between good and evil...

based on need, not conscience.

That's just what we did.

Like normal people.

You're right.

Human beings are all made of the same stuff.

Right?

(Device option)

(Power off)

(Yes)

(Episode 8)

We're done.

You two must have good news.

Each year, when you do,

you both come to get a new suit.

Do we?

Do we have good news?

We do. It'll bring us a lot of money.

What?

I'm done.

I'll bring the fabrics.

Okay.

What is it?

There's this cellphone factory.

A few workers were blinded by methanol poisoning.

They sued the company.

I want you to defend the victims.

They're suing the company?

Is the phone company...

Jungjin.

Woo Yong.

It's a good thing that you overestimate me,

but you know that 99 percent...

of all cases against Jungjin failed, right?

You've never lost one yet.

My gosh.

You want me to defend the workers, not Jungjin?

This isn't something you'd go for.

What's it about?

Can you please read this?

Thank you.

Please read this. There was an accident.

Please read this. Please, take a look.

Thank you.

Please read this.

There was an accident.

Could you please read this?

There was an accident.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Could you please read this?

Thank you.

We were treated unfairly.

Please take a look.

Thank you.

(I went blind working at Jungjin.)

Please take a look.

There was an accident.

Excuse me.

Did you see a doctor?

- Yes. - Can you...

regain your sight with an operation?

That would be a tall order,

but I was told there's hope.

Then you should go to the hospital first.

Excuse me. Who are you?

Hello. I'm...

- Jungjin Group's... - Hello.

I know you, Vice-Chairman.

Hello.

Please help us, sir.

She got hurt while working at Jungjin Group,

but everyone's turning a blind eye.

I beg you. Please help us.

I'm so sorry.

I was abroad for a long time due to business,

so I had no idea.

I'll look into it immediately and take measures.

Don't worry too much.

- Thank you. We truly are. - Thank you.

Tell them to receive surgery...

and compensate as much as they want.

I'm afraid we can't, sir.

Nothing is for certain yet,

and out of the 168 workers, only 7 of them were injured.

And five of them admitted that it was their fault.

They admitted to that?

I don't think we should admit that it was our fault...

just because of two remaining workers.

The US is trying to point out any kind of flaw from us...

since they know we'll be launching our new product soon.

We shouldn't stir up a commotion during such important times.

Look.

They're going blind.

What could be worse than that?

Immediately switch the methanol with something else.

We can't do that, sir.

If we replace the substance right now,

that would be the same as admitting it as our fault.

We should do that later.

Then should I replace you?

You'll help us?

And you'll do it pro bono, at that?

It's not that I'm helping you.

It's just that neither of us have anything to lose.

But the Vice-Chairman said that he'd look into it.

He has no time to look into such matters.

But he seemed genuinely concerned.

He was probably worried that this could harm his company's image.

You shouldn't believe everything you see.

Didn't you learn your lesson?

You're right. Jungjin Group promised to fix this situation...

then backed out.

I think I was punished...

for being greedy about money.

I got paid more for working at nighttime.

How much more did you get?

I got paid 40 dollars more...

for working eight hours at nighttime.

That's a lot.

With that money, my mom wouldn't have to peel garlic anymore.

It'd be great if we could win.

But even if we don't,

I'll make sure you get compensated.

Forget about the money.

We want to know the truth...

about what happened to her.

We don't need the money, so please find that out for us.

Please, sir.

But first, we need to save her sight.

Have some.

We're sorry we don't have anything else to give.

How pathetic.

Come here.

Come!

Gosh, you're making me feel sorry.

Let's be more attentive,

okay?

I told you it was an important occasion.

Right?

I'm sorry.

But my body isn't feeling...

Darn it, how dense are you?

Didn't I tell you to work properly?

Didn't I?

Didn't I?

Why aren't you answering me?

Who are you?

Answer me.

Hey!

We have more customers!

All right, coming.

- Where were you? - I'm sorry.

What are you doing?

Why do you live like this?

That's none of your business.

Why didn't you talk back to that dirtbag?

Because I need to make money.

I'm going to make a lot of money and walk all over scumbags like you.

- Snap out of it. - You're funny.

- I'm funny? - That's rich coming from you.

You scumbag.

Are you following me around?

Why?

Is it because of that USB?

I don't know anything.

No. Even if I did, I'd never tell you.

So stop bothering me and get lost.

I don't care about that,

so you better live right.

What's wrong with my life?

We're living the same, exact lives.

We do anything for money.

What do you say?

If you pay me, I could spend the night with you too.

Jang Young Mi.

Do you think we're any different?

The victim who died seven years ago.

The murder victim...

and Yang Chul Ki.

They're all related to Jang Entertainment.

All the evidence has been destroyed.

The only evidence is that agency.

That's odd.

All the victims are from that agency,

but how could none of them know about anything?

I see. So that's what girl group members look like.

I've never seen one before.

When I was a student, an agency approached me on the streets too.

Come on, those are all scams.

It's like those cults.

Not at all.

Had I said yes back then,

I would've been as famous as Kim Tae Hee.

Kim... Kim Tae Hee?

I look enchanting, sophisticated, elegant, and refined.

You know?

- You're so pretty. - Stay back.

- Are you leaving? - Don't go.

I found them.

They could tell us something.

Do you know Choi Soo Jeong?

She's dead.

Did you know her?

Is there anything you can tell me about her?

She was pretty quiet. She was a girl group trainee.

There were so many rumors after her death.

One of them was that her manager killed her.

- Her manager? - Yang Chul Ki.

(Yang Chul Ki, general manager, Manages Choi Soo Jeong)

His death was recently reported on the news.

You know him too?

Of course. He was known to be really scary.

I think he used to be a thug.

Some fans saw him assault the trainees too.

Soo Jeong's best friend Lee Ju Hyeon also disappeared soon after.

But I found it odd.

Lee Ju Hyeon disappeared?

Yes. A few days after Soo Jeong died,

she disappeared.

She could've quit.

She didn't. I used to be close with the youngest stylist.

The stylist was very worried and said Ju Hyeon suddenly disappeared.

She even reported her missing.

I don't think they found her yet.

(Disappeared actress)

("An Actress Has Vanished")

("Vanished Actress: The Whereabouts of Actress H")

Mr. Guk.

Two years ago, another actress went missing.

(Actress H's agency, S Entertainment...)

"S Entertainment"...

Is it Seoul Entertainment?

"Seoul Entertainment"?

(You have to investigate this. More people have gone missing.)

(Hong So Eun)

Did you identify the actresses that had gone missing?

Yes, but something is off about this.

She was the first murder victim seven years ago.

It's Choi Soo Jeong.

Three days after her death,

her best friend, Lee Ju Hyeon, went missing.

But she was an aspiring actress at Hanbit Entertainment.

And no one has seen her, right?

And four years later, the girl that went missing...

is Hong So Eun, an aspiring actress at Seoul Entertainment.

And three years later, there was another murder victim.

Cha Eun Bi was from Jang Entertainment.

All of these cases have this in common.

They were all young aspiring actresses or trainees.

They either went missing or were murdered.

There's no evidence as if someone cleaned it up.

And there were no motives for murders and disappearances.

The cases were all closed...

with perfectly logical investigation reports.

I looked into their backgrounds.

Either they had no parents, or their parents were disabled.

Their families weren't able to make a living themselves.

Those scumbags deserve death.

I should crush their skulls into...

That's after we find them.

They chose girls with such profiles on purpose.

Even if they went missing or died,

no one would look for them.

They didn't have anyone who would look for them.

This...

could be a serial murder.

But they are all from different entertainment companies.

What could be the common ground?

I'm not sure.

Since two girls from Jang Entertainment died,

let's start from there.

As a matter of fact, I looked into the CEO, Jang Chi Soo.

He's clean.

His bank transfers and assets are clean.

He doesn't even have an imported car.

He only has two of the same mid-sized Korean vehicles.

Same vehicles?

Usually, people don't have two vehicles of the same car model.

- You're right. - There has to be something.

If anything, he could be having an affair.

Please look into him.

Yes, ma'am.

- Hello. - The lights were on.

You're all working hard.

Aren't you...

Detective Ma Dong Hyuk from Gangnam Police Station?

We've met once before.

Is that so?

I'm heading out.

I'll get going too.

- Good work. - Me too.

It looks like you're working on an important case.

It's quite late. Even the detective came all this way for a meeting.

They are all small fries. No big cases here.

I had to look into a lame assault case.

If you want to keep your job,

you must do either one of these well.

Make sure you hide everything well.

Or be an excellent liar.

Okay.

I can see that you're nervous.

Unbelievable. How could a prosecutor drink in broad daylight?

I heard that you got yourself some nice connections.

Hey, if you have enough connections, can you set me up too?

There's a guy named Ma Dong Hyuk at Gangnam Police Station.

The judo gold medalist.

"Ma Dong Hyuk"?

Yes. That troublemaker?

Find out which case he's working on these days without him knowing.

What for?

This is an unofficial request.

Prosecutor Seo, you must read this.

The money from Bumjung Construction flowed into Jang Entertainment.

Bumjung Construction?

Yes, you were right.

Jang Chi Soo had a mistress.

And the money from Bumjung Construction...

went to the mistress' business.

His mistress is running a high-end whiskey bar in Gangnam.

After laundering the money there,

the money goes back to Jang Entertainment.

Chairman Song from Bumjung Construction...

was behind Jang Entertainment.

(Who's behind this?)

(Unresolved Murder Case of Studio in Ahyeon-dong)

(Victim, Choi Soo Jeong)

(Murder suspect, Yang Chul Ki, 7 previous convictions)

(Chairman Song Woo Yong of Bumjung Construction)

Seo Yeon Ah is looking into Jang Entertainment.

I'll find a way.

Let her be.

If something happens...

to an incumbent prosecutor, prosecution won't let it slide.

Seo Yeon Ah...

isn't someone you can handle like that.

(West Wing, East Wing)

I did file the lawsuit.

But Woo Yong, it will be hard to beat Jungjin Group.

Then make it easy.

Goodness, seriously?

I'm laughing because this is ridiculous.

I'm only generous when it comes to you.

It's been a while, sir.

Say hello.

He's the next Minister of Justice.

Nice to meet you.

This is Jungjin Group's Vice-Chairman.

You're defending the victims from my company, right?

Yes.

Please help them.

I will do everything I can to find the cause.

Okay.

It looks like you were on your way to have a meal.

I'll leave you two on your way.

Bumjung Construction has been on the rise lately.

You're too kind.

It's only a small corner shop.

Gosh, it's not small at all.

You got the construction deals even conglomerates struggle to sign.

I should learn what your secret is from you.

I guess...

an ocean is always running out of water.

Let's have a meal some other time.

Today, I'm treating my teacher.

What do you think about soft tofu?

I know a good place for that.

Woo Yong, is he Tak Soo Ho from Jungjin Group?

"Soft tofu"?

Gosh.

Tae Kyung.

It looks like...

you will have to win that case no matter what.

What are you saying right now?

Darn it.

Don't you find this odd?

The victim from seven years ago was from your agency.

The same goes for Cha Eun Bi who died a while ago.

The culprit from seven years ago is still at large...

and we're hitting a wall with this investigation too.

I don't know anything about that.

She died on her own.

Why are you talking about that here?

What did you say, you jerk?

Who do you think killed her?

Gosh, this is ridiculous.

How would I know that?

Are you accusing us of murdering those girls now?

You know, I'm dying to find out...

why those young girls in their 20s had to die...

and why the culprits still haven't been caught.

You watched too many American TV shows.

The detective who was investigating this case passed away a while ago.

- And? - Normally people would get scared.

They would stay away from the case.

Probably.

But I go for it.

I'm warning you to not try anything stupid...

in weaseling your way out of this.

Goodness.

(CEO Jang Chi Soo)

By the way, who really owns Jang Entertainment?

What are you saying?

You're being so annoying with your lame prosecutor title.

What did you say?

It's fine.

I'll find out who really owns Jang Entertainment...

with my lame prosecutor title.

Bye then.

Let's just go after his mistress.

We have her account details.

We can't get anywhere with that.

They might even want us to go after her with that.

It's a great way to ditch the minion like they did with Yang Chul Ki.

Why is it so complicated?

I wish we could just go after them all.

I believe Detective Kang told you all the time...

that investigating takes time and hard work.

He's so old-fashioned.

Let's have a drink and test the waters.

I heard the atmosphere's nice.

With pretty people.

Let's go.

Okay.

You didn't let me eat lunch and now we're drinking?

Woo Yong. Is it about Tak Soo Ho?

I thought this wasn't your kind of thing.

We must find the fault from Jungjin.

It's worth millions of dollars.

I don't think this is about money.

Did the jerk upset you?

Do you come here often?

Sometimes.

What brings you here?

A civil servant can't afford to drink here.

I'm here to work.

I heard a lot of fishy stuff goes around here.

I can tell the owner will have a tough time tonight.

The best prosecutor in town is here.

That's true.

Could you drop a hint to the owner?

You know the owner well.

You do business together.

You might come after me one day.

It looks like I should change some rules.

I think it would be hugely unfair if I were to go down alone.

How interesting.

What would be so unfair about that?

When will we ever get to have a nice conversation?

It's so hard to work things out.

What a joke.

Dad.

You arrived days ago and now you come home?

I haven't been back in a while.

I wanted to look around.

Did you enjoy yourself?

Yes.

Come in.

Sir.

You have a visitor.

I apologize.

I was passing by on my bike and wanted to pay a visit.

My apologies for dropping by without calling in advance.

Would you like to sit down?

I didn't know what you'd like.

Thank you.

You can drink it all up.

Are you here to make a deal?

Not at all. Someone else would be here if that were the case.

I'd like you to find out for sure...

if Jungjin's really to blame.

The company would only try to minimize the issue.

If it turns out to be true,

it would cause great harm to the company.

Correctly identifying the underlying problem...

of our core business would have to come with a price, right?

Please do your best.

By the way.

Would you like to work with me?

I'll make you rich while you do good.

There's someone I've been working with for a long time.

That's why I'm making the offer.

I think it's about time you parted ways with him.

Get lost, villain!

Lightning power! Lightning power!

How old are you?

Eight years old.

Mom!

- Here you go. - Thanks.

I'll be back.

We must talk.

Let's meet where we won't be seen.

(Grilled squid, fried sweet potato, dried filefish fillet, corn)

I don't know how much to trust you.

So I wondered whether or not to tell you.

Then don't trust me.

The murder seven years ago wasn't it.

Like I said, someone else from Jang Entertainment died.

And?

The prime suspect Yang Chul Ki...

and the detective on the case both died.

And?

Jang Entertainment's funds...

come from Bumjung, Chairman Song's company.

What does the funds have to do with the murder?

Anyone can invest.

That's why I plan to find out if there's a connection.

I have a feeling that...

these are all related events.

The Jang Entertainment murder.

The death of the courier who was there.

The death of the prime suspect, Yang Chul Ki,

and Bumjung Construction's funds that went into Jang Entertainment.

Plus...

Chairman Song who's behind it all.

What are you saying you'll do?

I'll be frank.

If you have nothing to do with this,

help me look into Chairman Song.

What does Chairman Song have to do with this?

A prosecutor looking into a company...

without valid proof or cause.

That's biased and illegal.

Do you even know what kind of a person he is?

Yes. Better than you do.

Drop this case immediately.

If you go after Bumjung,

you'll only get hurt too.

Are you threatening a prosecutor?

I'm telling you to investigate properly with hard evidence...

and good reason.

Don't go after an innocent man.

I have a feeling that...

these are all related events.

The Jang Entertainment murder.

The death of the courier who was there.

The death of the prime suspect, Yang Chul Ki,

and Bumjung Construction's funds that went into Jang Entertainment.

Plus...

Chairman Song who's behind it all.

The view here...

is to die for.

Tae Kyung.

What?

Are you still not over Seo Yeon Ah?

What?

I think you still have regrets.

What was that?

(Justice)

I'd like to investigate our Changwon factory.

Is there a problem at the factory?

When the first victim appeared,

was Vice-Chairman Tak already aware of the fact?

I asked you to find out what was wrong,

not to win the trial.

He only scared you this time,

but next time someone could drive into your car.

Why? Does Chairman Song want me gone?

Tae Kyung. You're the only one who can look after my son.

I don't trust anyone else.

I restored the phone you left.

It had something interesting.

A man who lost his soul.

Is he human or not?
