(This drama is based on real-life events.)

(Incidents, names, and places have been altered for the drama.)

What?

Did they just kick me out?

What do they take me for?

- Oh, my. - I have nothing to say.

Get lost!

Daddy.

Hey.

Why did you bring him here?

He dragged me here because he wanted to see Daddy.

Young Jun. Come to Daddy.

It's okay, I'm not mad.

It's okay. Come.

He won't go to school tomorrow either.

Where are we moving to this time?

How long must we keep running?

I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted too.

We got married after dating for a year...

after he finished serving his 10-year sentence.

He's only in the first grade,

but he transferred twice already.

Is something wrong?

You said you were running away.

The parents don't want him there...

because he's a murderer's son.

So he has no friends.

My son is quick, so he knows...

who likes or hates him.

So he hates going to school.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mommy's full, so you eat it all, okay?

He's not a sex offender.

How do people know about his conviction?

There are people who intentionally spread rumours.

What did the child do wrong?

What is it, Young Jun?

What? What is this?

Mister.

Eat that with me.

My father said I should share yummy food with friends.

Don't leave Mom...

Don't cry.

Bye.

Please don't go...

Mom...

Mom...

What about the kid?

- He must have lived here with her. - Mom...

Find his dad.

Isn't the dead man his dad?

She's divorced.

He's her lover.

Mom...

May I have a bite?

No!

Get away from us!

Your mom killed a person, right?

Get lost, Sam Soo.

Do you want a bite?

Let's go.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'm home.

Sam Soo. No one's home, right? Stay and eat.

Okay. Let's eat.

Eat.

Slow down. You'll get sick.

Gosh.

I fed Sam Soo.

Stop drinking, and come home early.

I hear you're sending Sam Soo to an orphanage.

Is that true?

And if not?

- Who will raise him? - The village can raise him!

We can just add a table setting and share our food.

Don't you dare send him to an orphanage.

I'll kick you out of the village.

I won't let you step foot anywhere in Pohang!

He's so frustrating.

You poor thing.

Well...

But I eat a lot.

Are you sure you won't regret it?

Eat with me.

I'm going to eat it all.

Really?

Okay, then. Shall I go eat?

I shouldn't keep getting free food when I'm investigating a story.

But now, I'm getting free food from a child.

Okay.

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

Why did you call me here so late?

Are you going to drive me home?

What did you feel when we read this?

Well... A sense of determination as a reporter to do a good job.

What did you see in Osung?

Well... A lead for resolving the case?

Anyway, you felt it too, right? When you saw it.

Based on this, Kim Du Shik is the murderer.

You've lost your touch.

How is Kim Du Shik the murderer?

The preconception that he's a gangster...

I don't care if he's a gangster. I'm talking about this file.

If you combine...

my animalistic instincts and what I saw at the scene...

The knife matches the wounds on the victim's body.

And Kim Du Shik's blood was found at the tip of the knife.

Why do you keep cutting me off?

The knife should have the victim's blood!

Why was Kim Du Shik's there?

Isn't that strange?

What?

Stop!

No.

He stabbed him 17 times.

The victim's ribs were damaged.

It's natural that the knife slid from the killer's hand and cut him.

That's clear evidence. As clear as the victim's blood.

September 10, 2002.

Kim Du Shik was returning from making a delivery late that night.

He got into a fight...

with the trucker Lee Min Hyung on the road.

Hey, you! Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Watch where you're going!

Hey, you! Why are you talking down to me?

You little brat.

Didn't your parents teach you any manners?

What? What was that?

Why you...

Hey!

It explains why the truck door was open.

Kim Du Shik repented at the second trial and apologized.

Based on the file, a likely suspect appeared three years later,

so Detective Han Sung Man tried to reinvestigate.

He was acquitted!

You said to see what can't be seen.

You can't even see what can be seen.

Look.

Look. It says it right here.

If Kim Du Shik was the killer,

why was the passenger side door open?

(Crime scene photo)

Darn it.

Who made such a mess here?

Hear me out.

It was raining that night. It was drizzling.

You know that much already.

The killer brought a kitchen knife from his home...

and walked endlessly down the dark path.

He took one step after another in the rain.

And then, with the knife...

Have you switched from writing news to fiction?

Well... So...

Darn it.

Anyway, the killer...

was in the passenger seat.

Look. He fled through that door!

And that's when Kim Du Shik's motorbike approached.

With the headlights glaring.

Right at the killer's face.

Why would anyone ride a truck at such a late hour?

It's not a taxi.

That's...

what we're about to find out.

Gosh, I have to start over.

Mr. Park, let's take Mr. Oh Jae Duk's case.

Isn't the Osung case exciting too?

Misjudged by 10 judges including those at the Supreme Court.

And there are even more prosecutors and police officers involved.

Don't forget, the defendant spent 10 years in prison for no reason.

Think about how much compensation he'll get.

Is this still about money?

Like I said, we should take the long view.

Do you think this is about money?

This case will turn the public against us.

Let's say Kim Du Shik was framed.

Once he got released, he made a living...

by tearing down other people's buildings.

He's left that behind now.

Haven't you done anything wrong in your life?

We're up against Jo Ki Soo and Kang Chul Woo.

If we get involved with someone as rough as Kim Du Shik,

what do you think the public will say?

There are a ton of innocent victims out there.

You and I can work together for the rest of our lives helping them.

"Innocent"? Come to your senses.

Do you think...

only nice, innocent people have been treated unfairly?

Does the law exist only for those people?

I was just trying to make a point.

Take the Samjung case for example!

Lee Cheol Gyu has been getting in trouble all his life,

but he stepped forward and put things right in the end.

He's the reason you're being praised now.

Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.

Kim Du Shik has an eight-year-old son.

and he can't go to school because he's labelled a killer's son.

Do you think that abuse ends at the school?

Why are you so upset?

Do you know what it means to be branded a killer's child?

What's really scary is the walls that are invisible.

Things like prejudice, discrimination, and stigma.

If they were visible, you could smash them.

Gosh. What is wrong with me?

Wait for me. I'll give you a ride.

Why did you cry? You embarrassed me.

No one cried.

Stop it, please.

"Innocent victims" was just a slip of the tongue.

Fine, I get it.

I just nagged you a little out of concern.

Why did you have to cry?

Who cried? This is driving me crazy.

Anyway, I'm sorry. Let's go down to Osung soon.

- It's a promise. Keep your word. - Yes.

All right.

If you think about it, many lawyers...

work on multiple cases at the same time.

You're the People's Lawyer.

What's the big deal if you work on...

both the Jeju case and the Osung case?

Other lawyers work on dozens of lucrative cases at the same time.

But the more cases I take, the more money it costs me.

Never mind.

Oh, right. About finding a philanthropist...

Detective Han Sang Man, who caught the culprit three years later,

turns out to be one of the three richest men in Osung.

His huge apartment even has a pond in the living room.

There are goldfish... No, there are carp...

this big swimming in the pond.

He can't possibly have carp this big in his living room.

That doesn't make sense. You exaggerate too much.

The carp can't possibly be this big.

They're this big, I swear.

How can they be this big?

See for yourself. You'll be surprised.

- My goodness. - They swim around...

Keep your promise. We're going down to Osung.

Fine. Good night. Don't cry.

Stop saying that.

- Also, stop lying. - What?

Carp can't possibly be this big.

They really are!

That's ridiculous.

Gosh, I'm serious.

Is everything okay?

I'm sorry.

This is annoying.

[VIU Ver] SBS E15 'Delayed Justice' "Sam Soo Changes" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Honey, I finally met the case of my life.

What are you talking about?

It's the Osung trucker murder case.

The son of the man who was framed is being bullied.

- Isn't it the perfect case for me? - What do you mean?

You know how I've been living.

Your eyes are shining.

When I was eight,

my mom became a murderer because I was too scared to open the door.

I'll open an emergency exit for that kid.

Wait and see.

That's very kind of you.

You're the best.

Why are you going into the bedroom after patting my bottom?

"Internet News Team"?

A "salary cut for three months"?

You'll be working at the office every day from now on.

I hope you're not too shocked.

"Internet News Team".

What do they do?

Should I explain to you?

We're an online newspaper.

What does the Internet News Team do?

I'm surprised that our ace doesn't know that.

The most searched words on portals...

You want me to copy and paste...

whatever is being searched the most?

Don't underestimate it.

The clicks you get by doing that...

and the messy ads next to the articles...

bring in 70,000 dollars a month.

It pays a dozen new hires.

Do you expect me to...

There are a ton of unemployed people willing to do that out there.

Is a new office building not enough?

We can't sit around doing nothing just because we have a building.

Still, it goes against journalism ethics to make a reporter...

Without money, there's no love, honour, or reputation.

Ms. Lee, I'm busy. Now you've heard the explanation, please leave.

Most reporters at this company work on that team...

at least for a while during their career.

This is just unbelievable. I can't help laughing.

Clear Sam Soo's old desk and work there.

That's where you'll be now.

His drawers are still full.

It's going to take a while.

Sam Soo is pretty messy.

A rich man with a messy desk.

Mr. Park is dying to meet you.

You're making that up.

I want you to discipline him and bring him to his senses.

I'll see you soon.

Discipline me? Are we in the military?

Remember this.

One, do not point with a finger. It's old-fashioned.

Just casually nod. Try it.

There you go. That looks pretty good.

Two, the Victory Nightclub case.

The detective of integrity. Emphasize those things,

and he'll love it.

Is that really important? You're so vulgar.

We need a philanthropist.

A small gesture can determine our next 10 years.

Take off your shoes.

Put on these slippers.

The bathroom is here.

A small room here. A study here.

This is the living room.

Have you never been in an apartment like this?

Stop looking around.

Why do you keep coming to see me?

Hello, I'm Lawyer Park Tae Yong.

Welcome.

You're even more good-looking in real life.

Gosh, I can't believe this.

You have a pond in your living room?

These carp are huge.

Mr. Park, I don't want to talk about the trucker murder anymore.

Why won't you leave me alone?

Where's the rest of your family?

Oh, my wife and daughter are in the US.

My daughter is studying, and my wife is looking after her.

Don't forget about using your neck.

What about your son?

Right. He's in the US too.

Well...

I have great respect for you.

It's such an honour to meet you.

When a fire broke out at Victory Nightclub,

it was revealed that you were absolutely without corruption.

It's an honour to meet you too.

Stop bringing that up.

I heard that all this land belongs to your father.

You did a background check on me?

That's absurd. Let's say we did our research.

For a more effective conversation.

Detective Han. I mean, Captain Han.

I went through all Kim Du Shik's files...

in the Osung trucker murder case.

To me, it seems like Kim Du Shik is the culprit.

Yes, he is the culprit.

Right? Mr. Park keeps saying the culprit is someone else.

According to the files you read,

Kim Du Shik is the culprit.

But they've been fabricated.

No way. They were very thorough.

Nothing is easier to fabricate than documents.

I'm sure you know that.

Kim Du Shik even got tortured.

They arrested a 17-year-old and tortured him?

If it was in 2002, that's the 21st century, and the World Cup was held.

There's no way the police would do that.

I'm Han Sang Man.

Do I look like someone who would speak nonsense?

At the time, even the Seoul head office took part...

to manipulate the case.

What could a 17-year-old boy from the countryside...

possibly do?

Later on, even the prosecutor intervened.

Oh, is that so?

If I think about that, my blood pressure rises.

Since it's you, Mr. Park, whom I respect,

I will explain it for the last time. Listen carefully.

Okay.

It was raining that night.

The killer brought a kitchen knife from his home...

and walked endlessly down the dark path.

He took one step after another in the rain.

This is exactly what Mr. Park told me.

Because this is what I told him.

You acted as though you figured it out on your own.

It's true that I did the research.

There, there. Let's not do this. Let's go outside.

We'll take the route that the murderer took,

and I'll explain everything in detail.

- Okay. - All right. Let's go.

Oh, right. Promise me one thing.

I really hate this.

This is the last time.

Don't bring another person here...

and ask me to explain it again. Okay?

Okay.

Okay, let's go.

I'll explain everything slowly from the beginning,

so listen carefully.

Where are we going right now?

The place where the crime first started.

Lee Jae Sung's old home.

Let's start from there.

What? You know where the real culprit lives?

Mr. Park. I'm Han Sang Man.

Amazing.

That night, it was raining outside.

The real criminal, Lee Jae Sung's father ran a business,

and he made a lot of money.

They say the good comes with the bad,

and there was trouble within his family.

His parents would fight every single day,

so Lee Jae Sung was upset,

and he left the house with a kitchen knife.

Lee Jae Sung is the same age as Kim Du Shik,

and he was quite thin.

So why did a 17-year-old...

commit such a vicious crime?

You never know what to expect in life.

It wasn't planned at all.

It was an unforeseen accident.

That night, Lee Jae Sung had three dollars in his pocket.

The only place he could go with that money was here,

in front of Hanyang Bank.

He left his house without any plans, but he had no place to go,

and he didn't have any money, so he couldn't take a taxi.

So then Lee Jae Sung...

decided to do that thing where you wave your hand at passing cars.

What's that called again?

- Hitchhiking. - Right. Hitchhiking.

He decided to hitchhike.

He coincidentally waved his hand at a passing car,

and that car stopped.

It's raining. Where are you going?

Can you drive me down the street?

Get in.

Then Lee Jae Sung saw the money in the waist supporter...

that the driver of the truck, Lee Min Hyung, was wearing.

I'll get off at the bus stop after the three-way intersection.

Okay, then.

That was as far as Lee Min Hyung went.

Aren't you getting off?

Give me all the money you have.

What is this?

This is the scene of the crime.

Why did Lee Jae Sung stab him so much?

He thought that if he put a knife to him, he'd give him his money.

But when Lee Min Hyung, who was big, resisted, he was afraid.

He just stabbed him mindlessly.

That's why despite the fact that there was no resentment,

he stabbed him 17 times.

Lee Jae Sung got off from the passenger seat...

and ran away to his friend, Jang Byung Chul's home who lived nearby.

He stayed there for a week...

and watched the police investigate the scene of the crime.

Do you see the red brick second story building over there?

Jang Byung Chul lived on the second floor of that building.

Jae Sung and Byung Chul kept an eye...

on the entire investigation from that rooftop.

Are you saying that he had an accomplice?

He wasn't an accomplice.

Byung Chul just hid him. He harboured a criminal.

Did you get a confession from his friend, Jang Byung Chul?

Of course.

Do you think I would've manipulated it like others?

When I first got the report,

I didn't believe it either.

(Osung Police Department Violent Crimes Squad, June 2005)

Ancheon-dong Three-way Intersection Trucker Murder Case?

Ancheon-dong. Oh, that case.

We already caught the criminal in that case,

so it was closed.

I got a tip.

What did you say?

The real criminal is a different person?

Yes. Yes. Okay.

Byung Chul and Jae Sung's friends all knew about it already.

Then they ended up getting into a fight over it.

One of them reported it.

Sit down.

I told you to sit, you punks!

Listen to me carefully.

Don't say anything that could incriminate you.

If you want, I could call a lawyer for you.

And don't say anything you don't remember.

Don't try to make things up.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

(Kind Police for The Citizens)

Lee Jae Sung.

At dawn on September 10, 2002,

did you kill a truck driver?

Yes.

(Kind Police for The Citizens)

How?

I stabbed him with a knife while sitting next to him.

How many times did you stab him?

I stabbed him a lot without thinking.

Why did you stab him so much?

The truck driver had a big build,

so I was afraid he might hurt me instead.

- Jang Byung Chul. - Yes?

Tell me everything you remember from that day.

Jae Sung suddenly called me...

and begged me to open the door.

Jae Sung.

The tip of the knife was bent?

Yes.

Is that true?

Yes.

Hey, Detective Han,

grab the kids and come to the chief's office!

You kids,

it's real trouble if you say you did something you didn't. Understand?

Think carefully and answer after.

Jae Sung, did you really do it?

Yes.

Was the tip of the knife really bent?

Yes.

Why did it bend?

I was going crazy with the stabbing,

and I think the knife hit a bone because it made a cracking sound.

You remember that precisely?

Yes. I heard the cracking sound.

Goodness.

Everyone except for Captain Han may go.

Yes, sir!

Get up.

Captain Han, this pains me too.

Why are you in pain?

Isn't it good for us that we got the real culprits?

Hey.

Kim Du Shik we put in jail three years ago is still in jail!

Sir,

you heard it all.

The cracking noise as the knife hit the bone!

Kim Du Shik isn't the real culprit.

We have to let him go and arrest these guys.

We'll all be dead.

What about the prosecution? The court?

Ten judges have made a misjudgement.

You want to hear the whole country go crazy because of some kids?

Sir, I'm not clueless,

but the whole country has the right to go crazy if a mistake is so big!

Don't you feel bad for Kim Du Shik who's rotting in jail for nothing?

Get out.

Get out right now!

Sir.

Please.

Sir,

I, Han Sung Man, am going to investigate this case.

Prosecutor, we have a problem.

I think this happened when you were in the Institute.

Remember the truck driver murder in Ancheon-dong?

Kim Du Shik was found guilty and is serving a 10-year sentence.

You're saying we have the real culprits now?

What kind of a terrible job have you done in investigating?

We'll look more into the matter.

I'm just telling you now to report to you.

- Chief, - Yes?

you know the truck driver murder case in Ancheon-dong?

- Could I see the records on it? - Yes.

Here you go.

I'm just going to go and report this.

Okay, then.

The police station was here back in the days.

Right about here.

There was a break room for detectives here.

Du Shik got beaten up quite a lot here.

Was he investigated without a lawyer?

Back then, Du Shik was basically an orphan.

He barely made it through elementary school,

and he had a second mother,

but they were poor, so they couldn't even dream of hiring a lawyer.

That's really unfortunate.

I felt bad for Du Shik,

and he felt like a son to me,

so I spent a whole year on that case getting called a nutcase.

I can't let them go.

I got their statements. Why should I let them go?

It's been 48 hours. Let them go.

The 48 hours is an excuse. What's the real reason?

How can the police release murderers?

Mr. Han, we have no evidence!

Come on!

Yes, Prosecutor? It's me, Han Sang Man.

Are you really not going to issue a seize and search warrant?

I'll do whatever it takes to find the knife,

so please!

Just issue the warrant for me.

How will you find a knife from three years ago?

You have no proof that it's in the dump either.

Goodness.

(Director Kim Byung Dae)

I'm sorry this is the first thing right as I got commissioned,

but bury this.

- Sorry? - The prosecution is one.

If we flip this case over now,

what would that do to the senior prosecutors...

who were on the case three years ago?

All right? You may head out now.

- Why are you doing this? - Let me go!

Listen up carefully.

I was in headquarters in 2002,

and you guys were on the truck driver murder case!

This case is a little complicated. Just leave it be.

Leave what be?

- Hey! - Mr. Han!

Why are you all over it? It's already done!

"Why am I all over it?"

Have you guys gone insane?

Chief and the prosecution...

have already made a deal...

to be done with the case!

- So what? - The police, the prosecution,

and the court are all involved in this!

The whole country is going to flip over.

Listen.

Whenever I think about Du Shik, who's in jail for nothing,

I feel a burning rage inside!

You're terrible.

Anyway, I'm going to sort this case out right.

If any of you're guilty, get ready to get fired.

How dare you act like this?

Joon Seok, is this how I taught you to be?

Mr. Han!

The last time you were snooping around someone else's case,

your entire family broke up!

What did you just say?

Are you going to kill us too now?

Yeong Won, let go.

I'm Han Sang Man.

Mr. Han!

You're dead when I turn around, so let go!

- Calm down. - How could you say that?

What do you think you're all doing?

Chief,

I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

So, what happened after?

What happened?

Of course, I lost.

That's nonsense!

I was on it for a whole year,

and I called Jae Sung and Byung Chul in...

four more times since.

But every time, the prosecution just let them off.

Eventually, I was exiled to a substation.

There was this one chance.

For what?

Lee Jae Sung.

You hid the knife under a planter in your yard at home?

Yes.

Why are you telling me this now?

I'm sorry. I'll take the sentence that I deserve.

I want to apologize to the man who died and his family.

I also feel so bad for the person who went to jail instead of me.

You know that you'll really end up in jail if this is true, right?

Yes.

Okay, then.

All right.

It's good that you're coming clean now at least.

I guess you're human after all.

Yes, Prosecutor.

Jae Sung has confessed where he hid the knife.

Please issue me a warrant.

You're sure? Okay.

This is the first and the last time.

I'm risking my life to issue this warrant.

But I was fooled.

That kid, Lee Jae Sung, fooled me.

He wasn't coming clean?

I thought he was.

He was telling me about how bad he feels...

with tears down his face.

But it wasn't anywhere to be found.

- Captain. Let's fix this together. - Yes.

We need to set things right.

I want to forget it and move on.

I'd rather just feed my fish.

To be honest,

I don't think I'll wake up if I have another stroke.

I'm sorry.

So please, stop harassing me.

You've come such a long way. Let's go eat something good.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What would you like?

- Half fried, half spicy, please. - Okay.

- Is this place good? - Yes.

That's him, isn't it?

I'm impressed. You recognized him right away.

What's going on?

The final piece of frame job...

for the Osung trucker murder is this place.

Sungshil Chicken.

Kim Du Shik worked here.

Then is the owner the killer?

I don't know whether it's comical or tragic,

but that sketch was the starting point of the frame job.

Did something happen?

Kid, we're busy. Go away.

- Yes, sir. - Hey!

A trucker got killed.

Did you see anything?

- I did. - What?

What did you just say?

I saw a person here.

What?

What? This kid saw the culprit!

Sir!

What? What did you see?

The truth is, Kim Du Shik probably didn't see the killer's face.

Then why did they draw that sketch?

Who knows?

Probably because...

You punk. Focus, will you?

You said you saw a person by the truck.

Yes, I definitely did.

But you don't know what he looked like?

I saw a person, not the face.

Darn it.

He had an umbrella.

He suddenly opened it...

Du Shik. Take a deep breath, and think.

That's right.

Put your soul into it.

Relax.

Okay?

You may be uneducated,

but you've got a great brain.

I hear you can deliver chicken to five places...

without having to write down the addresses.

My gosh. You're a genius.

Du Shik. Let's draw this.

Let's start with the hair.

You ingrate.

Sir.

Do you owe him back pay?

Why did he describe your face perfectly...

as the face of the killer?

Why?

- Hey, you! - Oh my gosh.

Are you mad at me?

I'm sorry.

We should let him sleep.

Yes. Du Shik. It's because you were up all night.

That's why your brain is broken.

So take a nap and come back tonight...

when you're completely alert.

Got that?

You.

You'll pay for this.

So?

That night, Du Shik fled.

He didn't go to the station.

- Why? - I don't know.

He was probably scared.

That's when they started to suspect him.

Think about it.

He described an innocent man, and then he fled.

What would the cops have thought?

Ever since then,

the cops didn't care about evidence or witnesses.

They were set on him.

Why did he describe someone completely different?

That's what I want to know.

I told you to please ask for me.

Okay.

That's everything I can tell you.

Thank you.

Do you know what happened to Lee Jae Sung and Jang Byung Chul?

About a year after Jang Byung Chul was released from prison,

he died in a car accident.

As for Lee Jae Sung...

I don't know, and I don't care to know.

- I have one more question. - Yes?

Why were you obsessed with catching the real killers?

You were demoted and your health declined because of it.

Well. I don't have a real reason.

Because I'm Han Sung Man.

Sure.

The 17-year-old Kim Du Shik who was locked in prison...

must have felt like a son to me.

When I thought about how scared...

that young thing must have been in there after being framed,

I really wanted to help.

That's all.

Why won't you see him now?

Because I feel bad and I'm angry.

I'm too angry.

I'm afraid that I will regret it...

and think I should've tried harder and done a better job.

To be honest, that's the only blemish in my career as a cop.

Not getting him freed.

That's all.

Is that all?

You speak as if you know everything.

If I see Du Shik,

I may want to investigate.

In case I go crazy wanting to catch the real killers.

That's why I won't see him.

I see. Thank you.

Sure.

Wait. Hold on.

Here.

This is my journal from back when I was investigating the case.

I don't have the case file.

I'm sure it'll help if you're going to help Du Shik.

Thank you.

- Goodbye. - Yes, sir.

Bye now.

"Because I'm Han Sung Man."

My gosh! Captain Han is so cool! Don't you agree?

Do you understand it now?

The captain's statement isn't enough.

We need the case file.

Even he doesn't have records about the real killers.

Are you saying it'll be hard to get a retrial?

How is that possible?

We have to follow the law.

Not everyone gets a retrial because he was wronged.

Kim Du Shik. Let's go to him.

There may be something there.

We came this far. What's the saying?

"Never retreat."

We have to move forward. No backing out.

- It's strange. - What is?

You weren't this aggressive with the Samjung trio.

No way. It couldn't be.

What?

Is it really about the compensation?

Darn it. What do you take me for?

- This guy. - Hey.

Darn it.

Hey. What? Of course, if things go well...

and Kim Du Shik wants to share out of gratitude,

I have no reason to refuse.

It wouldn't be heartless of me to refuse. Am I wrong?

Mr. Park. You dream big, don't you?

You're the one who told me I should dream big.

Fine.

Why did Sam Soo keep so much junk in his drawer?

("Tragedy of a Mom and Son")

("Mom Murders Boyfriend In Front of Young Son and Confesses")

("Divorcee Murders Boyfriend")

("Woman Murders Boyfriend")

("Divorcee... Brutally Murders Physically Abusive Boyfriend...")

Why do you only like murder cases?

Your most famous stories are about wives who killed their husbands.

"Why did she grab the knife?"

Sam Soo is a sicko, that's why.

I realized that when we went to Gangneung.

Sam Soo.

Hey. What are you doing?

Nothing. May I help you?

A rumour broke out that Actor Heo An Ju is dating Actress Jang Jae Yi.

They're the most searched people right now. You have 30 minutes.

I have no information yet. 30 minutes is not enough.

Ms. Lee, what kind of information do you need for this kind of article?

Just copy the tabloid, "Fact Check".

Switch out some words and send it to me right away.

What are you waiting for? This is urgent.

Okay. I'll have a look at their article.

[VIU Ver] SBS E16 'Delayed Justice' "Tae Yong Meets Kim Du Shik" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Why did you come all the way here?

A few days ago...

- Oh, there they are. - Hello.

Those two friends of yours told us a little about you.

Guys, what did you tell him?

I said I don't want this.

Hello, I'm Lawyer Park Tae Yong.

I don't know what those guys told you about me,

but I don't want any trouble.

Can you have look at Mr. Park's face?

Oh, he's squatting down.

You've seen him on TV, right? Doesn't he look so reliable?

His specialty is overturning convictions.

Once he takes a case, he never gives up.

I'm fine.

Mr. Kim, let's put an end to this pain.

I've been standing on the edge of a cliff all my life.

I'm used to it.

Mr. Park came all the way here.

Can you at least look at him once?

See?

I've looked at him. Are we done now?

I'm really fine. Please go back.

What do you mean, you're fine?

You can't even hide the tattoos on your arms properly.

What about your son who has to live as a murderer's son?

What did you just say?

What's scarier than those tiny tattoos...

is the invisible discrimination.

That's none of your business.

You're right. It's your business.

Why are you not even as concerned as I am?

Calm down. Let's talk this out.

You may think spending 10 years in prison solved everything.

But your innocent son...

will be shunned for the rest of his life.

Is he the only innocent one?

Exactly.

If you're innocent, clear your name in a retrial...

so that your son can live confidently...

in the future.

What's the use of saying you're innocent to yourself?

Do you think it's that simple?

Who gives you the right to say that?

What's all this noise?

Boss.

Were you talking about a retrial?

Are you applying for a retrial again?

You already did in prison, but it didn't go well.

Who are you anyway?

I'm a reporter from Seoul.

This is Lawyer Park Tae Yong.

- Specialized in retrials. - Oh, my.

I've seen you on TV many times.

I didn't expect a celebrity like you to come all the way here.

I run a small construction company. My name is Kim Bum Jae.

Here you go.

You should have taken him somewhere nice.

Not a construction site.

What do you mean, he already applied for a retrial?

- Oh, that's... - What...

brings you here?

Can I have a word with you?

Du Shik will tell you later.

(New World City Maintenance, CEO Kim Bum Jae)

Kim Du Shik, the guy who was framed for the trucker murder...

After going to the slammer,

he was Kim Bum Jae's minion by the time he got out.

My gosh. Of all the...

My expertise is taking down organized crime.

Must I help a runt from a gang?

Du Shik, I have one final task for you.

Sort out Anjeong-dong District 5 for me.

Boss, I'm not taking on that sort of task anymore.

That sort of task?

My gosh. I can't believe the way you talk.

Demolition work is no crime.

- I'm sorry. - Ten households, that's it!

Don't you want to raise your son properly?

Help me this once,

and I'll spread no more bad rumours about you...

and make sure you can keep working.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Mr. Park.

Please help Du Shik a lot.

When we were in prison,

he applied for a retrial under my guidance,

but it didn't go well.

Excuse me now.

Mr. Jung, it's been a while.

By the way,

you're letting a murderer take care of the interior design?

Are you sure the tenants are okay with that?

Kim Du Shik was in prison for 10 years.

Oh, my. You didn't know that?

Yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry? Okay.

Good boy, you're admitting what you've done?

Good job. That's my boy.

Mr. Han, I just talked to Du Shik.

Did you know that he applied for a retrial once?

Lawyer Tak Jae Hyung?

He's an assemblyman now, right?

Yes. When the investigation was interfered with,

I asked...

Lawyer Tak Jae Hyung, who used to be a prosecutor, for help.

But he was denied a retrial.

Now I think of it,

my files maybe with Mr. Tak.

Hello, Mr. Park.

(Assemblyman Tak Jae Hyung)

By any chance, did you apply for a retrial...

on the Osung trucker murder case in the past?

What?

The Osung trucker murder case?

Oh, yes. I just remembered it.

The case files?

I discarded all of them before entering the assembly.

Oh, I see.

Thank you.

Mr. Kim!

- Mr. Kim. - Hello.

I'm sorry,

but you can stop working now.

- What? - I'm really sorry.

If I fail to sell these apartments, I'll end up on the street.

What did you just say?

Sir, you can't do this to us...

Stop it. Get your tools.

- Sir, this is not okay. - I said, stop!

I'll get going.

Honey, come inside for a second.

Did something happen?

This came again. 130,000 dollars.

(Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service)

We have to pay 100,000 dollars in interest.

What are we going to do?

What's this?

"We demand payment."

"We paid Lee Min Hyung's family 30,000 dollars after his death."

"We demand that Kim Du Shik, who is responsible for his death,"

"pay us the same amount..."

"with interest, which is 100,000 dollars over 18 years."

Mr. Kim, the situation is not right at all.

I want you two to go back.

I can take care of it.

What do you mean?

When you're treated unfairly, you have to tell others about it.

You two may be able to say everything you want...

because you have the power to.

But people like me can't say what we want.

Why?

If you don't, people take advantage of you!

Sir, you don't talk...

because you have a mouth.

You talk because someone listens to you.

Do you think anyone in the world...

listens to people like me?

You killed him, right?

I didn't!

What do you expect me to say and to whom...

when no one listens to me?

Like I said, I'm standing on the edge of a cliff every day.

(Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service)

Mr. Park, can I see you later? I can wait for you.

- Mr. Park. - Yes.

I feel like I haven't seen you in ages.

I know, me too.

I've missed you.

Don't say things like that.

I'll be too excited to drive.

Goodness.

But why did you...

Well...

("Mom Murderers Boyfriend In Front of Young Son and Confesses")

("Tragedy of a Mom and Son")

I didn't know Mr. Park's story.

So this is why he's obsessed with the Osung case.

And female murderers.

Kim Du Shik has an eight-year-old son.

and he can't go to school because he's labelled a killer's son.

Do you think that abuse ends at the school?

Why are you so upset?

Do you know what it means to be branded a killer's child?

What's wrong?

I've made a huge faux pas.

I didn't know Mr. Park's or Kim Du Shik's situations.

People bully you for the littlest of things,

but they've been branded a killer and a killer's son.

Imagine how hard it must've been.

Sam Soo...

may act tough on the outside, but I'm sure he was hurt a lot...

because of the discrimination he faced in Seoul.

I'm a lawyer, but I was looked down upon for not going to college.

I can only imagine how it was for him.

I've been acting all pompous lately because I'm helping people in need,

but I had been prejudiced too.

No, you weren't. Not at all.

Thank you for giving me a chance to reflect and repent.

Not at all. I didn't do anything.

Mr. Oh Jae Duk was labelled a commie.

Kim Du Shik faced discrimination for being a purported killer.

Mr. Park was discriminated against for being a killer's son.

It must have been hard for all of them.

Ms. Lee. I'll get my act together and do a good job.

You trust me, right?

I'm Park Tae Yong.

Yes, I know that very well.

I'm Park Tae Yong.

You're Lee Yoo Kyung, who made me reflect.

How about a cheer?

Let's go this.

You'll end up at Seoul University at that rate.

Let's have a beer.

Beer? Sounds good.

What's wrong? You look disturbed.

I may be taking on a case from Osung,

but the victim won't talk.

He was framed for murder when he was 17...

and spent 10 years in prison.

My gosh. For 10 years?

How do you get framed for murder when you're 17?

He was pretty much an orphan and barely finished grade school.

He never had anyone take care of him.

He delivered chicken and then that happened.

This is the type of case you excel at.

What do you mean? The victim is really rough.

This is hard.

He ended up that way...

because there was no one like you in his life before.

You're talking nonsense.

So... I mean, look at me, for example.

If it weren't for you, I may have ended up like that guy from Osung.

You took me in and raised me.

That's how I can study like this.

Live with us only until you can walk.

You should meet your mom now.

What's wrong with you? Stop it!

- Stop. - Why are you doing this?

- Gosh! - Why not?

Live with us only until you start grade school.

If it weren't got you, I may have gone really astray...

or become evil.

You're mad kind.

You don't even realize the good things that you did.

Go back to studying, punk!

If you fail again...

You have to pass this time.

I'm tired. I mean it.

Go back in!

He's the one who wanted to drink.

Tae Yong.

You can't quit high school just because your mom passed away.

She would not be happy.

I'll pay for your tuition and give you spending money,

so go back to school.

I already spoke to the principal.

Mr. Park.

Here.

Don't think about anything else.

I'll help as much as I can...

until you pass the bar exam.

So you can't give up, okay?

You shouldn't call me "Mr. Park" when I call you "Aunt".

Just call me "Tae Yong."

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Park, for taking care of Tae Sung.

I mean... Thanks, Tae Yong.

I'll pass the exam and repay you, Aunt.

Tae Yong. Bye-bye.

I was lucky and got this far...

thanks to Aunt's help.

Du Shik didn't have an adult like that in his life.

You kids...

(Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service)

(Workers' Compensation and Welfare Service)

Okay!

I found it! Yes! I got it!

I got it!

You said to go to college.

You said to study!

We're saving a soul.

Who cares about college?

We've got this!

What's wrong with you? You'll wake the kids.

Sorry about that. Sorry.

- We've got this. - What has gotten into you?

He must have gone bonkers.

Seriously.

What is it?

Mr. Park? You're not sobbing in some corner, are you?

Must you call me this late just to annoy me?

What? You found a way?

- You're not lying are you? - Oh my gosh.

Bye.

Oh my gosh. Right?

Hello? Do you know what time it is?

Captain, let's walk down the difficult path again.

I can get a retrial with this.

- What? - Come now. Who am I?

I'm Park Tae Yong! Park Tae Yong!

(Delayed Justice)

Mr. Park. I've got the files.

Let's change our strategy.

Let's get them from behind.

Who are you ruining this time?

Take it easy, will you?

You should grab on when someone reaches out to you!

Why are you throwing away this great opportunity?

Kim Du Shik was not the killer.

"We know who the killer was."

Let's move forward all the way!

Let's begin here.

Let's do this!
