(Episode 14)

You're late.

I feel like I just keep...

letting you down.

If you're talking about standing me up,
then yes.

But when you get like this,
I can't even be mad.

I'm sorry.

What's going on?

I have a favor to ask.

I'd like you to stay away
from the office for a while.

And please, don't ask why.

I'm really sorry...

for bailing on our plans today.

(Pit-a-Pat Butcher Restaurant)

Did Yi Rang not come home last night?

- Yes, it looks that way.
- I wonder if a new ghost showed up.

A new ghost?

I haven't been to the office recently
because of filming, so I was wondering.

But don't worry too much.
I'll swing by later.

Anyway, would you like a cup of tea?

(- You reek of a criminal.
- A ghost took your dad.)

(Shin Yi Rang's dad is a criminal!)

Are you okay?

Do you not have a home? Or...

were you kicked out?

What's it to you?

You were tossing and turning all night,
breaking out in a cold sweat.

I was worried something was wrong.

Did it ever occur to you
that it might be your fault?

What do you mean by that?

How can I get a good night's sleep
with a ghost staring me down?

Now that you get it, please just leave.

I don't care where.

Just get out of my sight.

If it's not too much to ask,

may I know the reason?

Because I find it unacceptable.

If a lawyer can't accept his client,
how can he do his job?

Lawyer...

Client?

By any chance, do you know who I am?

How would I know?

Let's just say I find
your face unacceptable.

It's not right to judge people
by their appearance.

Especially a legal professional, who must
guard against prejudice and bias...

and treat everyone with fairness
and justice, without discrimination.

And you did what you did,
knowing all of that?

"Knowing all of that."

Why would he tell me not to come in?

Is he uncomfortable around me?

(Submit Yoon Jae Uk's files to the court.)

(Attorney Shin Yi Rang)

Yi Rang.

I'm calling because the files
for Yoon Jae Uk's case are due today.

I didn't get a chance to tell you,

but about that case...

We're not handling it anymore.

What?

Why?

Did a new ghost show up or something?

Look, Na Hyun.

I'm kind of in the middle
of something right now.

Fine.

What's his deal?

The courthouse...

is really close by.

Must be convenient for you,
working so close.

Why now?

- What do you mean?
- I said, why now of all times?

Do you know what I've been through
because of you?

My bad.

Were you with a client?

It's nothing.

Anyway, are you hungry?

Mother packed us some gimbap.

Hey, where did Ms. Han go?

Mom's gimbap?

Smells so good.

Smells so good.

Here, have a bite. Try it.

- You want some, Honey?
- Yes.

Sa Rang, you open up too.

Honey, your egg gimbap
is out of this world.

- It really is.
- Hey, hold on. Wait a second.

- I'm not hungry, so I'll eat later.
- What?

And if by any chance I get possessed,

throw water on me right away, okay?

Don't hesitate and don't hold back, okay?

Okay, goodness. I got it. Don't worry.

Oh, right. Your mom's been really worried.

You know, whether you're eating
and sleeping properly.

You know how parents are,
always worrying about their kids.

Hey...

The thing is...

What is it? Is something on your mind?

You can tell me.
You know my lips are sealed.

I guess not?

All right. Anyway, since we're talking
about her, you should call your mom.

- She's been worried sick all morning.
- Okay, I will.

Gosh, I skipped breakfast
so we could eat together.

This amazing smell
is impossible to resist.

Pardon the intrusion.

I'm not usually so impertinent,

but I find this aroma simply irresistible.

If it wouldn't be too much
of an imposition,

may I have just a little,
a tiny little taste?

Yes, yes! Of course!

I'm the general manager here.

- Thank you, Mr. General Manager.
- Please, have a seat.

Water.

They say a well-fed ghost
is a happy ghost.

I guess I should let him eat
before I snap him out of it.

Here, have some of this water too.

This is incredible. Goodness.
How can something taste this good?

Is it really that good?

It's truly delicious.

How should I put it?

It's somehow...

The kind of taste that tugs
at your heartstrings.

My mother-in-law's cooking
is to die for...

No, I mean, it's incredible.

- Please, eat up.
- Yes, I'd love to.

There's soup too.

Prosecutor Kim,
I wanted to ask you something.

Do you know why
Yoon Jae Uk switched lawyers?

Since you're the prosecutor on his case,
I figured you might have heard something.

I haven't heard anything official,
but I have a hunch.

There was a case 20 years ago
involving his father, Yoon Dae Myeong.

And the prosecutor on that case
was Shin Gi Jung.

Lawyer Shin's father.

Seriously?

And?

- I'm home.
- You're back.

So...

How's Yi Rang doing?

He's fine, and it turns out
a new ghost really did show up.

But it seems like Yi Rang
and that ghost don't get along.

He told me to wake him up right away
if he gets possessed.

Why? What's the ghost like?

Yi Rang said it's a woman in her 60s,

but when he was possessed,
he definitely sounded like a man.

You must have heard wrong.

But Yi Rang said something strange
to the ghost.

- Like what?
- Something like, "Because of you, I..."

But his tone... How should I put it?

It sounded resentful.

(Butcher's restaurant)

This lunch box... Did Yi Rang eat it?

Yes. Wait, no. The possessed Yi Rang did.

Tell me more about that ghost.

The ghost?

He said the egg gimbap
was absolutely delicious.

- What else?
- What else?

He was very polite, and he spoke
in a very refined way.

But why are you asking?

- It's nothing.
- I'm going to get the shop ready.

Okay.

I told Bong Soo to wake me up right away
if I get possessed. Seriously.

How long have you been living like this?

- What?
- How many ghosts...

- have you encountered?
- Why are you asking?

It just seems like it must have been
so hard for you.

Depending on the ghost,
it could've been dangerous.

It was.
I've almost gotten into accidents...

- and almost died.
- And you still kept doing it?

They come day and night begging for help.
How could I just stop?

Lawyer Shin.

You're a good person.

More like a total pushover.

That's why...

I'm meeting with you like this right now.

But from now on,

I'm going to be more cold-hearted.

So...

Are you drawn to any of these talismans
in particular?

A talisman I'm drawn to...

Yes, Father.

I'm calling because there's a ghost
I need to send on.

No, it has to be today.

If you're busy, I'll come to you.

Since you won't leave
even when I tell you to,

I have no choice but to
send you on myself.

So you've decided to send me on?

Yes. That's the plan.

You seem to resent me a great deal.

But other than the fact that I'm dead,

I have no idea who I am,

so I can neither repent nor apologize.

Has this happened before?

A ghost you sent on
without telling them who they were.

Was I really that bad of a person?

Was I so vile that
you won't even tell me who I was?

Prosecutor Shin Gi Jung...

used my father as a scapegoat.

For his own gain,

he drove my father...

to his death.

Yes.

You're someone who can never be forgiven.

You deceived the people who trusted you,

framed an innocent man,
and destroyed his family.

A man died because of you,

and the ones who survived...

have suffered for a very long time.
And after committing such a shameless act,

you just died without ever apologizing.

The fact that I didn't tell you
who you were...

You should be grateful for that.

Because if you had known,

the pain would've made you
want to die all over again.

No!

Blocked you!

I just can't seem to beat my son
at games anymore.

- But you can't beat Dad in a race.
- What?

A race to home. Ready, set, go!

Dad, that's not fair.

(Seoin Elementary School)

(Happy, Joyful, and Friendly,
Just Like Yesterday!)

Yi Rang, look.

For a fastball,
you take your index and middle fingers...

and put them together like this.

Then you throw it like
you're pushing it forward.

The middle finger.

- Like this?
- That's it.

Want to try throwing one?

But Dad...

I'm not so sure I can do it.

When you feel that way,
take a deep breath.

Tell yourself, "I can do this."

Believing it will give you real courage.

I can do this.

All right.

Not bad.

It was a little off target,
but I could really see the spin on it.

Great job, Yi Rang.

One more.

Why did you do it back then?

- What?
- The man I remember...

Who on earth was he?

You left on your own terms,

so why are you showing up again
on your own terms?

You're someone
I've been trying so hard to forget.

Don't come to me
with that clueless look...

on your face.

All right, I'll stop.

I won't try to find out who I was anymore.

To be honest,
it's a little hard for me to accept.

I may not know who I am
or have any memories,

but the idea that
I lived that kind of life...

I guess that was hard for me to accept.

That's why I was so desperate to know
what my life was like.

But now...

I'll believe you.

You...

really are...

a truly good person.

Thanks to you, I had someone to talk to,

and right now,
you're struggling with whether...

sending me away is the right thing to do.

Whatever you decide, it's okay.

For showing up so suddenly
out of the blue,

I'm truly sorry.

Don't hold this against me.

(Pit-a-Pat Butcher Restaurant)

Mom, I'm home.

What about the ghost?

What?

I mean...

Bong Soo said you had a new ghost.

Well...

He's gone.

- Gone?
- Yes.

He wanted to leave,

so I just let him go.

I see.

Mom.

I didn't sleep very well last night.

- Okay, then. Go get some rest.
- Okay.

Thank you for your time.

Just a few days ago,

you didn't know
Attorney Shin Yi Rang's father...

was Prosecutor Shin Gi Jung.

How did you find that out?

I got a text from an unknown number.

The lawyer must be here.

(Blocked number:
Do not trust Shin Yi Rang.)

(His father drove your father to death.)

(He's the corrupt prosecutor,
Shin Gi Jung.)

It all ended over 20 years ago anyway.
I don't want to dwell on it anymore.

I've read the articles from that time.

And it said you refused to accept
that your father's death...

was a suicide.

My father always used to say...

that people must take responsibility
for their actions.

And he lived his entire life
by those words.

A man like that committing suicide?

It's unthinkable.

Do you still have the case files
from back then?

Yes.

But what's the point now?
It's been 22 years.

That's exactly why.

It may be late,

but don't you think we should
uncover the truth?

Why are you so invested in this case?

You couldn't even grieve properly
when you lost a family member,

and I know what that feels like.

There's someone in my life
who's just like that.

(Pit-a-Pat Butcher Restaurant)

- Why aren't you in bed?
- I just can't sleep.

Why aren't you asleep, Mom?

Me? I'm just prepping for work tomorrow.

Why?

Is there something you want to talk about?

No.

Mom, why did you never leave Seocho-dong?

It's full of people who bad-mouthed Dad
around here.

Why you'd insist on
running your business here...

I've always wondered.

I thought if I left this place,

it would mean that I was admitting defeat.

I refused to accept that
your father was a bad person.

I believed the truth
would come out someday.

I felt I had to hold on until then.

So, all this time...

You've believed in Dad this whole time.

Yes, that's right.

But that's just how I feel.

Even if you feel differently than I do,

I understand and respect that.

(Specializing in domestic meat)

(Shin Yi Rang Law Office)

(Attorney Shin Yi Rang)

Na Hyun.

This is about your father, isn't it?

How did you know?

I found out from Prosecutor Kim...

that your father was involved...

in Mr. Yoon's father's case.

I also met with Yoon Jae Uk
and heard his side of the story.

I'm sorry.

For digging into it without telling you.

No, don't be.

It's my fault for not being open with you.

I should have told you sooner.

Yi Rang, to me...

I mean...

You don't have to try so hard.

Later, when you're more comfortable,
you can tell me then.

Just one thing, though.

Just let me be there for you.

What with my sister's case and all,

I really owe you so much.

Thank you.

I'll never forget this.

Okay, that's enough.
You're going to spoil me.

I want to keep that promise.

So please, let me.

Chairman, Attorney Shin Yi Rang is here.

He doesn't have an appointment,
but he said you'd see him if I told you.

Send him in.

Yes, sir.

I'm here to ask you...

about my father.

Your father?

Until now, I never tried
to find out about my father.

There were times I was curious,

but I always tried to push
those feelings away.

But now,

I want to know.

The more I look at you,
the more I see your father in you.

Do I?

That tough,
unwavering look in your eyes...

It's so much like Gi Jung's.

I tried to look into Gi Jung's cases,
but it wasn't easy.

I had already left the Prosecution
by then,

and prosecutors hostile to Gi Jung
refused to cooperate at all.

However...

There was one old case that came to mind.

It was back when your father was
at the Incheon Prosecutors' Office.

We used to meet up sometimes
and just talk about life,

but that day, he seemed different somehow.

Byung Il.

Yes?

It's nothing...

What? You can't just start and then stop.
What is it? Tell me.

I don't know if this is the right
thing to do.

All I have to do is right a wrong.
It should be that simple.

But for some reason,

I have a bad feeling about this.

Hey, Gi Jung. It'll all blow over. Okay?

Don't dwell on it. Just forget about it.

About when was that?

It must've been right before the crackdown
on the gangs in Chinatown.

Chinatown...

My father was found dead
in a back alley in Incheon's Chinatown.

- What's wrong?
- I need to go to the Prosecutors' Office.

It's been 20 years. What could you find
at the prosecutor's office?

There's probably no one left
who even remembers Gi Jung.

Besides...

Even if someone does remember him...

It'll be even harder
to get them to cooperate.

The police might be a different story,
though.

The police?

There's an Officer Choi Dong Man.

He's a detective who worked in Chinatown
for a long time.

He's bound to know something.

Detective Choi Dong Man...

Okay. Thank you, Chairman.

About Gi Jung...

He was my junior,
and I cared for him a great deal.

If you find anything new,

make sure you let me know.

Yes, I will.

About Gi Jung...

He was my junior,
and I cared for him a great deal.

If you find anything new,

make sure you let me know.

- Yes, sir.
- Where are you? I need to see you.

You mean right now?

Please help me.

Yes, sir.

And make it quick.

(Yang Do Kyung)

So, what if...

the ghost left the Okcheon Building
without recovering its memories,

where do you think it would've gone?

A ghost that hasn't recovered
its memories...

and where it might go?

From my experience with ghosts,

their favorite food, songs,

or a loved one elicited a strong reaction.

In that case, couldn't a specific place...

- have the same kind of pull?
- A specific place?

Yes. Not by the mind,

but a place that the heart remembers,

(Wolmido Island, 1984)

Just a little... Just a little more.

What? Mom, where are you going?

I just have somewhere to be.

- Okay. Take care.
- Okay.

So, have you found the shaman?

With a little more time,
I'm sure I can find him.

You know as well as I do, Director Choi,

that my father is a man
of far too few words.

Even so, you can't do things this way.

Are you lecturing me right now?

And you don't even realize
the danger you're in.

It turns out my father didn't return
because he was fully recovered.

(Davith Medical Center)

In this situation, what do you think
you should be doing, Director Choi?

Whose orders should you follow
if you want to make it out alive?

(Taebaek)

What is it that you want?

What my father knows,
and how much he knows.

Tell me everything,
from the very beginning.

It all began when attorney Han Na Hyun
lost the case to Shin Yi Rang.

Hey, you punk! Are you out of your mind?

You're acting like a damn lunatic
because you're blind, is that it?

As things continued to happen
that could only be explained by ghosts,

the Chairman started keeping a close watch
on Shin Yi Rang.

So he knew from the beginning
that Shin Yi Rang could see ghosts?

Is that a good enough reason
to stop treatment and return to Korea?

At first, the Chairman...

just thought of Shin Yi Rang
as an eccentric.

But then, when he found out
that Shin Yi Rang was Shin Gi Jung's son,

he immediately returned to Korea.

He was worried that Shin Yi Rang
might encounter Shin Gi Jung's ghost,

and that's why he came back?

Yes, that's correct.

(Seoin Kendo Academy)

(Seoin Kendo Academy)

You little...

Feeling good after taking me down?

Why does Father care about Shin Gi Jung?
He's dead.

I'm afraid I don't know that.

And then?

After returning to Korea,

the Chairman ordered me
to find the missing shaman.

A shaman?

So, did you find him?

I asked you. Did you find the shaman?

I heard my father used to work
at the Incheon Prosecutors' Office.

And he investigated cases
related to Chinatown.

It sounds like you'll get the full story
about your father soon.

First, I'm going to meet a detective
who might know something about his case.

I know that couldn't have been easy.

Thanks for calling.

You told me not to be alone.

- Gi Jung. Enough with the pictures.
- Kyung Hwa.

- Yes?
- When I look through the lens,

you look so much prettier
that I just can't stop.

Just a little longer. Just a few more.

My gosh.

- A little to your left. To the left.
- My left?

- Yes, just a little to the left.
- Okay.

Hold on.
From there, just a little bit back. Back.

Back. It's cold! So cold!

No, no.

Gi Jung, you did that on purpose,
didn't you?

- No, I...
- You did it on purpose. You just wait.

- No, I swear! No, I didn't!
- Come here. Get over here.

- No, I didn't...
- Get over here! Come on.

I didn't do it on...

There was so much I wanted to say to you.

But still...

I'm glad you came.

What is this place?

Please, let me go.

I've told you everything I know!

Officer Choi retired last year
and moved back to his hometown.

He did?

There is someone who would know
a lot about Saryonghoe.

- Who?
- There's this old-timer in Chinatown.

(Honggwan)

Saryonghoe?

Yes. I heard they were a gang that preyed
on this area about 20 years ago.

Why are you looking for a bunch of thugs
who disappeared ages ago?

It has to do with my family.

Please, I need your help.

Well, it's the same old story.

They were a bunch of leeches
who bled every merchant here dry.

They'd demand half our sales
in exchange for "protection."

If you refused, they'd trash your place.

They'd file fake complaints
to ruin your business.

They were absolutely vicious.

Like vipers.

Then how did a gang like that
just disappear?

Because one day, he showed up.

A righteous and meticulous prosecutor.

- Let's take them all in.
- Hey! Get off!

- Let go of me!
- The bribes those scumbags offered...

actually turned into a poison
that came back to bite them.

He was that upright and sharp.

Thanks to him,
we could finally breathe again.

To us, he was a true hero.

I know it was a long time ago,

but do you happen to remember his name?

I used to know it.
Gosh, what was his name?

- Maybe it was Prosecutor Shin Gi Jung?
- Shin Gi Jung?

Don't you dare mention that jerk.
He was nothing but a thief.

That jerk was a corrupt prosecutor
in bed with Saryonghoe for his own gain.

No, he doesn't even deserve
to be called a prosecutor.

The man was a gangster himself,
the worst of the bunch.

- Good to see you, sir!
- Good to see you, sir!

All right.

Try to dress a little more presentably.

And you, you punk.
What's with all the flashy gold?

Goodness.

Why would you load up so much?

Two cakes? Here, you have one. Have one.

Thank you, sir.

Even the police walked on eggshells
around Shin Gi Jung.

And with his protection,
the Saryonghoe just got bigger and bigger.

That's why all the merchants
around here...

The very mention of Shin Gi Jung's name
makes their blood boil.

That's how vile that jerk was. Gosh.

Goodness.

That righteous prosecutor's name was...

I said my wrist hurts.

It was Prosecutor Yang Byung Il.

I've told you everything I know.

Please, just let me go now. Please?

Just one more thing.

How do you get rid of a ghost?

You burn it.

Burn the talisman,
and the ghost disappears.

Does the chairman know this?

Well? Does he?

Yes, he's aware.

Shin Yi Rang paid a visit.

- So?
- I handled it as you instructed.

Good work.

(Pit-a-Pat Butcher Restaurant)

Thanks for being here with me today.

You must be tired. Get some rest.

You get some rest too, Yi Rang.

- Let's go!

What's wrong? You hurt your shoulder?

Yes.

It hurts too much.
I don't think I can pitch.

Shin Yi Rang, you're up!

Me?

Yes, you! Hurry!

I can't. I...

Dad.

What are you waiting for?
The coach is calling you.

We'll lose because of me.

No one believes in me.

I can't do it.

Give me that.

They say as long as you have one person
in this world who believes in you,

you can overcome any hardship.

Even if everyone else in the world
doesn't believe in you,

that one person is enough
to give you courage.

I'm that person for you, Yi Rang.
The one who'll always believe in you.

Okay, Dad.

I'll try.

Okay.

- Go, Seoin!
- Go, Seoin!

I can do this.

Strike! Out!

Yes!

(Victory Roar! Seoin Wave Riders!)

Lawyer Shin? What are you doing here?

Why are you here?

I'm not sure myself.

I was just walking,
and my feet must have led me here.

The talisman...

Why haven't you burned it yet?

I'm not sure myself.

I guess I was looking for
the tiniest excuse...

not to burn it.

But...

the more I hear from people,

the more disappointed I became.

But I'm done looking for
excuses like that.

More than what anyone else says.

I'm going to trust what I know,

the man I've seen for myself.

I'm going to trust my own judgment.

Born in 1963.

August 15.

Shin Gi Jung.

You are...

my father.

(Phantom Lawyer)

Why are you so worried about Shin Gi Jung?
He died 20 years ago.

He's the chairman of Taebaek,
a major law firm.

- He and I were like brothers.
- You have to be careful.

- Don't worry.
- It's not him.

- A Saryonghoe member?
- Her name is Han Na Hyun.

Whatever you're doing, stop it right now.

I can't put my son in danger
just to clear my name.

- Burn the talisman, the ghost vanishes.
- What are your orders?

- Okay, I get it. Just stop.
- No, Yi Rang.

I can't let you go like this, Dad.
