(This is a work of fiction.
All characters, places, incidents,)

(and organizations portrayed
in this drama are fictitious.)

The incident from ten years ago.

I can't compare my experience to yours.

But it's a case I want to forget too.

A case you want to forget?

Defendant Kim Dong Gu is
sentenced to ten years in prison.

I...

gave up on you.

(Episode 12)

I did everything I could to
forget my guilt toward you.

(Kim Dong Gu to Be Released,
Exonerated of Rape and Murder)

(Real Culprit Finally Caught After 1 Year,
Kim Dong Gu Acquitted)

When your name was cleared,

I was relieved.

My goodness. Who knew?

I thought Kim Dong Gu was the culprit.

I shot myself in the foot
right before I left the prosecution.

It's all in the past. Just let it go.

You too, Ms. Oh. Don't worry.
It's not worth your energy.

The case is closed, so it doesn't matter
whether I won or not.

The present is what matters.

Here, let me.

This is why I can't help but
like Ms. Oh more and more.

(Song Mi Rim)

Hey.

Ms. Oh, about No Byung Chul.

I heard they were suddenly sending him
to solitary confinement today.

You have to be on your best behaviour
before being released on parole.

But apparently, he got
into a fight out of the blue.

- No, I swear!
- Come out!

This is nuts.

Why would I fight now?

- Come on!
- I swear, I didn't fight.

Wait, hold on.

Hang on. Bring Seo Jun Myeong to me.

Let me talk to Seo Jun Myeong!

(9 years ago)

Just because no one is
watching or listening,

do you think you can
keep me here for ten days?

You see, you should not underestimate me.

I know that.

That's why the US Court wants us
to extradite you immediately.

They have already sent an official request.

Just extradite me.

Do it, I don't care!

Do you know what will happen
if you go there?

Recently, we caught
another scumbag like you.

He created a server in the US
just like you did...

and uploaded tens of thousands
of sexual exploitation videos.

I believe he's 19.

He was sentenced to life.

But as soon as that kid was sent to jail,

he got beaten up to a pulp
by some big guys there...

and fell into a coma.

What do you say?

Are you now ready for a chat with me?

Yes?

We have caught the real culprit
in the Jeon Na Jung case,

which set the whole nation in uproar
in September of last year.

The culprit is No Byung Chul,
who has seven prior convictions...

resulting from offences such as
rape, robbery, and drug trafficking.

We were investigating him
for a different case,

where he uploaded
sexual exploitation videos...

on a US-based server he created.

During our investigation,
we discovered evidence that tied him...

to the Jeon Na Jung case,
and he confessed to the crime.

Then what will happen to Kim Dong Gu
who is behind bars at the moment?

Now that we have the real culprit,

we will drop all charges
against Kim Dong Gu...

to make sure that he can be
released as quickly as possible.

But at the time,
all the evidence and witnesses...

proved that he was the culprit.

The evidence found at the scene
was placed there by No Byung Chul.

All the other evidence was not
directly related to the case,

and the witnesses were mistaken.

What will happen to SBC's
"Unanswered Questions"...

claiming Kim Dong Gu's innocence,
which is supposed to air tomorrow?

Well, now that No Byung Chul
has been caught...

I'm not sure what they could gain
by broadcasting it.

(No Byung Chul)

(Certificate of Release)

Hey, I get that you're excited,
but you need to focus.

Okay.

- I'll go get more wood.
- Sure.

(Safety first, always
work in teams of two.)

You said Kim Dong Gu was the culprit.

Now, you're saying No Byung Chul did it?

Will you bring in
someone else for the case?

How many times must I tell you?
No Byung Chul did it.

What is it that you want?

If you want me to manage No Byung Chul,

you'll have to pay me twice as much
as the amount I was promised.

(Korea Correctional Service)

Okay, I will.

(Korea Correctional Service)

He received a kickback for it.

And that tattoo on the wrist.

(No Byung Chul)

It wasn't you.

The person who framed me...

and used you to cover it up.

I will catch the person.

(Ungju Stepsister Murder)

(Chief Prosecutor Choi Tae Guk
Honourably Retires)

(Choi Tae Guk Honourably Retires
After Ungju Stepsister Murder)

(Chief Prosecutor Choi Tae Guk
rose to fame...)

(through the Ungju Stepsister Murder.)

Father.

What are you working on?

I was doing some research.

Do you have to intern under Soo Jae?
It must be hard.

Hey.

Do you want to grab a drink with me?

I had no idea...

you knew so much about the case...

Father had worked on in the past.

I sure know a lot.

I may not know about other things,
but I know a lot about that case.

But that case...

Soo Jae represented the accused
as a public defender and lost.

How did she manage to
join the firm after losing the case?

Father never hires losers.

Look at you. You're smart.

Baek Jin Ki, the director of your school.

He went to school with Father
and taught Soo Jae as well.

He used that man to give her a sign.

A sign?

What do you mean?

Think, you fool.

Father was the chief prosecutor,

and the Kim Dong Gu case
suddenly took place.

He had to put Kim Dong Gu behind bars
in the name of justice,

but Oh Soo Jae, a mere public defender,

kept getting on his nerves.

What do you think Father did?

Guess. You know how Father is.

Are you saying she mishandled the trial?

No, she did not "mishandle" it.

She deliberately lost.

She stabbed Kim Dong Gu in the back.

You see, this world...

These are what moves the world.

The hands of Chairman Choi Tae Guk,
our father.

You got it?

That's how the world works.

That much I know.

The breeze feels very nice.
Slow down a little.

Sure, sir.

Let me be very clear.

Unfortunately, I have
no respect for you son.

And just like you, I had never done
something for someone else's gain.

I only do things for myself.

So I will never be someone else's person.

She has no idea what's awaiting her,

and she doesn't know that
she is in the palm of my hand.

You have conflicts of interest.

So you'll stop here. But not me.

I'll risk everything I have to protect her.

So you have a nice life as
Chairman Choi Tae Guk's son.

No, Kim Dong Gu.

You won't be able to either.

You won't, ever.

Are you here to see her? Jeon Na Jung.

What about you, sir? What brings you here?

I have a daughter.

My daughter got into
a big accident ten years ago.

I wonder what kind of accident it was.

But this girl, Jeon Na Jung...

I found out later on that she
helped my daughter that day,

but I found out only after
she'd died such a tragic death.

Na Jung.

Regardless of what happened,

I could neither help nor save you.

About Jeon Na Jung...

You've been watching me, haven't you?

Since when?

Hey. Today, we had the highest sales
since our grand opening.

I'm so stoked.

Let's put up a banner and throw a party.

Okay.

(Seojung University 2018 School of Law)

The admission brochure in our mailbox.

I received it again the following year.

So you were the one...

When I saw you at the admissions interview,

I was proud of you. It made me happy.

But why were you watching me?

Do you believe that
No Byung Chul is the real culprit?

Why would you ask me that?

Do you think that
he's not the real culprit?

On what grounds?

I didn't sleep well last night.

I should go home and get some sleep.

We pulled an all-nighter because of Chan.

What are we doing here?

Don't I stink?

My gosh. Did you really stay up all night?

What is going on?

What's happening that you pulled
an all-nighter and called me here?

Kim Dong Gu.

("Stepbrother Kim Dong Gu
Gets Acquitted of Murder Case")

Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

Ms. Ji Soon Ok is Kim Dong Gu's stepmother.

And Kim Dong Gu is
Jeon Na Jung's stepbrother.

Ten years ago, he was
falsely accused of murdering her,

so he was wrongfully
incarcerated for a year.

And Professor Oh was the
public defender who represented him.

So you guys all found out.

You already knew about everything?

I only found out yesterday...

when I went to the police station
with Yoon Sang for something else.

The skeleton in Yeongpyeong District
is my sister, Jeon Na Jung!

- Hey!
- Investigate now!

What?

Chan said the skeleton was his sister?

What is going on?

Maybe Professor Oh...

knew everything from the get-go.

That Chan is Kim Dong Gu.

No, she didn't know.
She only found out recently.

Right.

Even I didn't recognize him.
I had no idea Chan was Kim Dong Gu.

You met Kim Dong Gu in the past?

Yes, when I was a rookie cop.

Our precinct was in charge of the case.

The Ungju stepsister murder.

It wasn't me.

- Shut it, you punk.
- Why are you hitting me?

If you don't behave yourself,
you're dead meat. Do you understand?

- I said, it wasn't me.
- Goodness.

Come on, you punk!

- I told you that it wasn't me.
- Hey! Be gentle, will you?

- Seriously.
- You little rat. Come here!

I told you. It really wasn't me. Let go!

Who are you? Are you new here?

You must've heard about Kim Dong Gu.

The scumbag who raped and
murdered his own stepsister.

He deserves the death penalty.

A scumbag like him does not
deserve human rights.

I saw him.

But I only saw him from afar.

He seemed angry and hurt
by the false accusations.

(Jeongseok Movers)

- All right, 1, 2.
- There.

Put it down. Good. Move it.

All right.

In 1, 2, 3.

(Gong Chan)

(Gong Chan)

Professor Oh, I'll find it.

I'll find evidence that
No Byung Chul isn't the culprit.

There's someone who is
speculating the same thing.

I heard Na Jung helped
his daughter that night.

I'm sure I can find something.

I'm not interested.

Kim Dong Gu.

I told you not to get close.

Don't forget what I said.

Hey, Soo Jae. Move.

Gosh, this is so heavy.

Hey! Even the entrance is massive.

Look at you. Oh, boy.

My gosh! Your place is so nice!

You should've thrown a
housewarming party right away.

And I need to consult you
on so many things.

I need to get a divorce.
My life is a mess now.

Divorce? All of a sudden?

What? Read the room.

It's not sudden.
You have no idea. Soo Jae knows.

Soo Jae, I want a divorce.
It's nuts. I'm getting a divorce.

Would you hear me out?

All right. Will you calm down first?

Okay.

By the way, it doesn't look like
she's had dinner yet.

Right? She looks even skinnier now.

She'll disappear at this rate.

Soo Jae, we bought
tons of delicious things.

- Let's eat this.
- Let's eat.

Soo Jae.

What? What is it?

Tell Chan.

You didn't betray Kim Dong Gu.

You had no choice back then.

Tell him why you did
what you did back then.

If he hears it, he'll understand.

I can't expect him to understand it.

It'd be wrong of me to
ask for his understanding.

Gosh, I can't believe
she has to tidy up now.

Just leave it. I'll tidy up later.

My gosh. You've been working? What is this?

Kim Dong Gu.

(Kim Dong Gu, 18 years old at the time)

Jeon Na Jung.

"I got hit in the head at
the construction site."

"When I woke up, I was at the seaside."

Hey, Chan is innocent indeed.

Yes. He is innocent.

Choi Tae Guk was the chief prosecutor,

and Seo Jun Myeong was
the prosecutor in charge?

What a small world.

Ms. Oh, this...

"I went to pick her up"...

Did Chan write this?

If No Byung Chul isn't the real culprit,

it means someone deliberately
framed Kim Dong Gu...

and No Byung Chul as well.

And No Byung Chul, who was awaiting parole,

suddenly got into a fight and
was sent to solitary confinement.

It's highly likely that it was
orchestrated by the same person.

But why?

Because the skeleton turned up.

When the skeleton was found,
the person behind all of this...

The culprit realized it for sure...

that what he did had been exposed.

Jeon Na Jung...

The name rings a bell.

This was such a famous case.

I bet even kindergarten kids
knew her name as well.

No. This was ten years ago.

I was a resident back then.
I was so busy that I barely slept.

I didn't even know that
Soo Jae worked on this case.

- Really?
- Yes.

I swear, I've heard this name before.

Mr. Ha.

- Yes.
- About Choi Yoon Sang...

A few days ago, he suddenly asked me...

for the files on the Kim Dong Gu case.

The files on the Kim Dong Gu case?

Why do you suddenly want to see the files?

I was intrigued that my mentor,

Ms. Oh, was crushed in court.

If I give you that,

what will the youngest son
of the chairman give me?

Even if you can't give me anything now,

there has to be something
to look forward to...

for me to give you the files, right?

I see.

Will my answer...

that I am better than my brother
be enough for you?

And please forget the bad history
between us at school.

Go on.

Did you give him the files?

Why wouldn't I? I won that case.

And I did exactly what the chairman
told me to do for that case.

I'm asking you to look into that.

Who knows?

There might be a reason...

why the chairman should
be aware of this too.

(No results)

Nothing popped up.

This case took place ten years ago.

Shouldn't the victim's DNA
still be in your database?

Right. It should be.

Then what can we do?

Let me collect your DNA first.

And we'll compare that to
the DNA of the skeleton.

It will take about a week.

The results will come out
in a few days if we expedite it.

Don't worry.

All right. Now that we have
overcome a big obstacle,

a drink in the afternoon
should be allowed to celebrate.

Thank you for conducting
due diligence quickly.

Let's keep taking it easy, moving forward.

All right.

Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Oh.

And I will continue to count on you.

I'll look forward to your help to the end.

Sure.

I wonder how it would've been without you.

Gosh. You're too kind.
You deserve all the credit, sir.

All right. Cheers to the
newly formed relationship...

between Yoon Se Pil of SP Partners
and Hansu Group.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I have a delivery for you.

I see. Is that it?

Yes. I wanted to send it to your office.

But great artwork like this
ought to be admired together.

I can easily put it
in my office afterwards.

Shall we open it up?

Gosh.

(Song Mi Rim)

Oh, my.

Go ahead.

Jeon Na Jung's DNA wasn't
in the police database.

So they collected Ms. Ji Soon Ok's DNA.

And No Byung Chul still
might be in a solitary cell.

I can't visit him.

Keep checking.

Goodness. This looks amazing.

This is a painting, right?

- Or is it a photograph?
- Yes, it is.

Gosh. I was wondering that in my head.

I shouldn't brag in front of you,

but I was in a photography club
at my high school.

Is that so?

So I know a thing or two about photography.

Was it the 2 to 3 ratio?

Director Baek almost
became my father-in-law.

It was a photograph. No wonder.

Gosh. Who's the photographer?

Gosh. This is cool.

Look at this. This is nice.

This will look great in your office.

It's so picturesque.

- Gosh.
- Goodness.

You said you wanted to talk.

You haven't said a thing
for the past 15 minutes.

Kang Eun Seo.

Director Baek's daughter, Kang Eun Seo.

You talked about her
when you didn't have to.

Where is Kang Eun Seo?
And what is she doing now?

Her health isn't good.
So she's at a nursing home.

So you didn't get married?

Because the woman you loved wasn't healthy?

She was in an accident ten years ago.

And the accident stopped her memories.

Excuse me.

I'm in a meeting.

I just remembered about Jeon Na Jung.

I found my journal I kept
when I was a resident.

Jeon Na Jung was transferred...

to the hospital after a car accident
on the night of September 4, 2012.

Go on.

But it wasn't Jeon Na Jung.
It was someone else.

Hold on.

She's a victim of a hit-and-run accident.

We confirmed a fracture in her right leg.

- Her BP and pulse are...
- It was Kang Eun Seo, not her.

Kang Eun Seo was wearing
Jeon Na Jung's clothes.

We rushed her into surgery because
she was in critical condition.

We found signs of
sexual assault on her body.

Okay.

I heard Na Jung helped
his daughter that night.

I'm sure I can find something.

Ms. Kang Eun Seo.

She wasn't in an accident, but an incident.

So...

is she still suffering?

Hearing your blunt question...

is hard on me.

We should end our talk here.

Hitting the sauna is best
when your body feels stiff.

The hospital bed was a piece of garbage.

Gosh.

Assemblyman Lee, I saw on TV that
your ratings had gone up again.

You ought to buy us a meal.

I'm not sure about that.

Scoring high approval ratings
isn't everything.

Even my staff is worried
about the two-year presidency.

I did all this work just to have
a two-year presidential term?

If you don't like it, you can withdraw it.

I racked my brains, so I could help you...

become president.

If you don't like it,
there's nothing I can do.

Gosh. Is that so?

If I don't like it,
I can just back out of it?

Of course.

But you won't be moving
into the Blue House.

Come on.

Okay.

We have some news about Hansu Group.

The construction in
Yeongpyeong District has resumed.

And the sell-off of Hansu Bio
is moving forward...

- smoothly.
- Check the other channels.

We're conducting due diligence smoothly.

And the trust between Hansu Bio
and us is quite strong.

SP Partners...

plans to wrap up the process
as fast as possible.

Thank you.

Okay. All right.

You should be the one
treating us to a meal.

Sounds good.

Let's invite the fortune-teller.
It's been a while.

We should ask the fortune-teller...

to put talismans on the
bottoms of Our Majesty's feet,

so he gets elected president. Okay?

Your Majesty.

What?

The bottoms of his feet
are soft like baby's feet.

How can they be so smooth?

My goodness. That's enough.

Seriously. They are so soft.

Inmate 7279.

Inmate 7279.

Come on. What is he doing?
Why isn't he answering me?

Over here!

Over here!

(Kang Eun Seo, Baek Jin Ki and Yoon Se Pil)

(Baek Jin Ki and Yoon Se Pil)

I want to buy Han Sung Bum's
safe house in Samjung-dong.

What's your take on it?

He bought Han Sung Bum's safe house.

And he gave away
Director Baek's photo as a present.

Why?

For what?

Yes.

Ms. Oh. Turn on the news.
No Byung Chul is dead.

He committed suicide.

This just came in.

The real culprit in the
Ungju Stepsister Murder in 2012...

took his own life.

At the time,

the victim's stepbrother Kim
was convicted of the murder,

which sent shockwaves through the country.

However, the truth
came to light a year later...

when No confessed to the crime.

No confessed that he had
abandoned the victim's corpse...

after raping and murdering her...

at a construction site in Samjung-dong.

Next news.

No, who had been serving
his sentence since being convicted...

in the Ungju Stepsister Murder,

died by suicide.

It is said that he frequently
mentioned his guilt...

toward the victim and her family.

He was emotionally distressed,

waiting for his early release on parole.

It is said that he often had
problems with his cellmates.

Witnesses have also said that
they heard him shouting...

and letting out tormented
screams every night.

He frequently fought with his cellmates,

so he was recently sent to
solitary confinement and died by suicide.

Oh, there he is!

Tell us why you decided to accept
the Justice Minister position.

The current administration
is nearing its end.

Why did you accept the position?

I wish to make sure that everyone
is protected by the law...

and that no one ever feels
wronged by law enforcement.

I'd like to contribute
to building a society...

where the law can always be
applied properly. That is my wish.

Will you step down from
your position at the school?

What are the people at the school saying?

- What will be your role?
- What's your take on...

No Byung Chul did not die by suicide.

He'd never take his own life.

He's not the culprit,
and he didn't kill himself.

You know...

who is behind all of this, don't you?

The person who framed me...

and even did this to
No Byung Chul to cover it all up.

Tell me who it is.

At the moment, I can only speculate.
There's no evidence.

Had there been evidence,
I would've caught the person long ago.

These photos.

I put them up so I won't forget.

So I won't forget about
that day even for a moment.

My daughter is still stuck
in that moment ten years ago.

So you knew it wasn't me.

When did you find out?

Before my trial,

did you already know that I didn't do it?

I'm sorry.

I really am.

If you knew it wasn't me, how could you...

I knew, but there was nothing I could do.

I had no power,

and I couldn't reveal
the fact that it wasn't you.

So I waited for the right moment.

I believed that day would come.

When you and Soo Jae came here,

I thought it was our
chance to right the wrong.

Then like a miracle, your sister...

A miracle?

Don't you dare call it a miracle.

My sister, Na Jung,

died a horrible death.

And what, a miracle?
Don't you dare call it like that!

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to right the wrong.

Even No Byung Chul's death.
It could be telling us something.

No.

You missed your chance to
right the wrong ten years ago.

I will never join hands with you.

Please.

Please, I beg you.

Get up, Jin Ki.

I'd never take you down.

Come on.

Get up already.

Jin Ki.

I wish to make sure that everyone
is protected by the law...

and that no one ever feels
wronged by law enforcement.

I'd like to contribute
to building a society...

where the law can always
be applied properly.

"A society where the law can
always be applied properly"?

That is my wish.

Will you step down from
your position at the school?

What are the people at the school saying?

(Chairman Choi Tae Guk)

No Byung Chul is dead, sir.

He took his own life
just before his parole hearing.

Sir, by any chance...

Did you...

What?

Why do I get a sense that
you're enjoying this?

Come here.

- Jun Myeong.
- Yes, sir.

You haven't changed one bit.
Your tongue is your biggest problem.

If someone takes you down,
just blame it on your tongue.

My apologies, sir.
I should not have said that.

I heard you gave the
Kim Dong Gu case files to Yoon Sang.

Yes, sir. He said he wanted to
know more about Ms. Oh, his mentor.

Is that so?

Don't give him anything else.

I won't, sir.

I always have to get on his nerves
to grab his attention.

What? What do you mean...

Hold on a moment.

Hello?

Why couldn't you check that sooner?

You see, I am the warden.

No Byung Chul, that little...

Because of that scumbag...

Watch your mouth. Please!

So? What is the name of the person
who visited No Byung Chul...

on September 4 every year?

Gong Chan.

His surname is Gong.
His full name is Gong Chan.

I told you guys to analyse and summarize...

the Court's written decisions
on the major cases.

Some of you haven't submitted it yet.

Professor Oh, it's a huge assignment.

Could we get an extension
until the end of the week?

No, that won't happen.

- Please.
- Give us an extension.

Fine. Submit it by the end of the week.

But it's already overdue,

so B will be the highest mark.

No one will get an A.

- No...
- Professor Oh, please!

Why didn't you answer your phone?
I wanted to give you a heads-up.

How have you guys been?

Choi Yoon Sang asked me to come here today.

Professor Oh.

The Court's written decisions you gave us.

While analysing and summarizing them,

I learned they were from
the trials that you won.

Right, I won most of the time.

It got me curious.

"Has she ever lost any trials?"

And I found out that there was one case.

The Ungju Stepsister Murder,
which took place ten years ago.

It was also known as the Kim Dong Gu case.

In September of 2012,

a 17-year-old girl, Jeon Na Jung,
was raped and murdered.

And her stepbrother, Kim Dong Gu,
was arrested without a warrant.

It was all over the news,
so everyone must remember the case.

The public defender who
represented Kim Dong Gu...

and lost the trial...

was you, Professor Oh.

The prosecutor in charge of the case...

won the trial and got him
sentenced to ten years in prison.

That prosecutor was
Professor Seo Jun Myeong,

who is now TK's partner lawyer.

What are you doing?

Just watch. Watch and learn
what you didn't know.

Fine. I'll give you five minutes.

Look up the case and learn about it.

That way, you can come up with questions.

I caught No Byung Chul too.
The man who committed suicide.

I caught the real culprit.

All right. See you guys in five minutes.

Let's talk.

Chan, you guys can talk after the lecture.

You did nothing wrong.

You've lived your life well.

I'm rooting for you.

You were innocent ten years ago.

And you're really cool now, Gong Chan.

Hey, it's fine. Stop frowning.

So what if you're Kim Dong Gu?

Then...

what was your reason behind arguing
for Kim Dong Gu's innocence?

No Byung Chul was caught a year later.

So looking at the results,

you were right to argue for his innocence.

But during the trial,
all the circumstances and evidence...

pointed to Kim Dong Gu as the culprit.

All the circumstances and evidence...

pointed to Kim Dong Gu as the culprit.

But the statement he made while
arguing for his innocence...

was very detailed...

and convincing.

Those two contradicting sides
clashed with one another.

So I believed the defendant.

No.

Kim Dong Gu confessed that
he killed Jeon Na Jung.

A statement from an inmate said
he even talked about his crime.

Die, you jerk.

Fine! I killed her!

I killed her and dumped her
in the ocean. So what?

The police questioned Kim Dong Gu
all night on purpose,

so he wouldn't get any sleep.

And they even assaulted him
in places that weren't visible.

And it was confirmed...

that he had been bullied by the inmates.

Kim Dong Gu had sleep deprivation,
and his mental state was unstable.

So he gave up and confessed.

That's not true.
It was only a one-sided argument.

Because he kept changing his stories,

he started to doubt his own memory.

Professor Oh.

Was there a follow-up investigation
and any change in his treatment...

regarding police brutality?

The police denied.

They said Kim Dong Gu agreed
to be questioned at night...

and there was no police brutality.

The wounds on his body were self-inflicted.

You were the prosecutor
in charge of the case.

How did he seem when you questioned him?

When you work as a prosecutor
as long as I had been,

you get a hunch.

"This guy is the culprit."

"This guy isn't it."

Kim Dong Gu was the former.

"This guy was born with
a despicable nature."

But he wasn't the culprit.

He was acquitted a year later
and released from prison.

Doesn't that prove that
your hunch was wrong?

Yes. I was wrong. I admit that.

I usually admit when I'm wrong.

But I never admit to doing
something I didn't do.

Why? The truth is always
revealed in the end.

On that note, I'll restore my honour
and come back here.

Gosh. You never change, do you?

Good for you, Mr. Seo.

You're still as rude as ever, Na Se Ryeon.

How did you catch No Byung Chul?

When he was arrested for another crime,

you happened to figure out...

he was the culprit while questioning him.

Tell us how you got him in detail.
Just give us the facts.

That's confidential.

No Byung Chul has rights too.

He confessed to everything.
And that process...

That's also confidential.

All the spotlight is on me.

Why don't you ask her some questions?

Aren't you being a bit rude
to the losing counsel?

Choi Yoon Sang.
You're responsible for this discussion.

You must have questions.

When I read the trip record,

it made me wonder if
you were fully prepared for it.

Even the witnesses you brought in
gave unfavourable testimonies to Kim.

Did you prepare for the trial thoroughly?

It looked like you didn't even try.

He knows why I lost.

And he wants Gong Chan to know.

I don't think that question
is worth your breath.

People lose trials
even when they do their best.

You never thought that
she might not have done...

her best?

The knife.

Jeon Na Jung's blood, Kim Dong Gu's DNA,

and three fingerprints
were found on the knife.

One of them belonged to Kim Dong Gu.

The second one belonged to the cop...

that collected the knife at the scene.

But there was the third fingerprint.

An unidentified fingerprint.

- An unidentified fingerprint?
- Unidentified?

Gosh. Look, Ms. Oh.

Just like ten years ago,

you're reading too much into
the unidentified fingerprint.

In this case, it doesn't matter
whose fingerprint that is.

The knife had the suspect's fingerprint.

So that's the end.

No, it's not.

If you focused on the unidentified print,

the result could have changed.

Then the innocent man, Kim Dong Gu,

wouldn't have been in prison
for a crime he didn't commit.

Then you should have kept trying.

I wasn't his defence lawyer.

You were.

Professor Seo, someone's life
depended on this trial.

But the police or the prosecutors...

didn't even...

try to find out whose fingerprint it was.
And that's the fact!

What is this? Does he think
he's Kim Dong Gu or what?

Even if Kim Dong Gu's
fingerprint was on the knife,

you should have found out to whom...

the unidentified fingerprint belonged.

But covering that up
as if it didn't matter...

Who was it?

- Who was it?
- What do you mean?

What are you asking?

It was a year after Kim Dong Gu
started serving time in prison.

A TV program was about to air an episode,

covering the possibility
of Kim Dong Gu's innocence.

No Byung Chul,

a defendant you were
investigating for another case,

turned out to be the culprit.

He willingly confessed to everything.

Someone framed Kim Dong Gu,
an innocent man, for the murder.

And that someone made...

No Byung Chul take the fall
to cover that up.

It wasn't you.

You don't have the guts to do that.

I'm sure there's someone behind you.

Who is it?

Gosh.

Ms. Oh, you must be losing
your cool after talking about...

your humiliating past.

Don't entertain this conspiracy thought.

Just look at the facts.

I crushed you at the trial.

But I managed to catch the real culprit.

That's the fact.

Kim Dong Gu.

This one.

Purpose.

Purpose.

Experience... Why are there so many?

Everything you know,
everything you think you know,

and your plan with Mr. Yoon.

Tell me everything.

Don't leave anything out.

Can you accompany me somewhere?

(Kang Eun Seo)

Right before she was in a car accident,

I heard she went to a club
with her friends.

I started from there.

All the security cameras in front
of the club weren't working.

And all the footage was deleted.

Back then, the security cameras
didn't cover every inch of the road.

So I didn't get anything from there.

Then I saw a vehicle passing
in front of the club.

I somehow managed to
get its dashcam footage.

But I couldn't make out their faces.

I couldn't make out
those three guys' faces.

But I could recognize
my daughter in the footage.

Are you okay?

Can I borrow your cell phone?

My cell phone?

That part-timer was
Kim Dong Gu's younger sister.

- It's cold. Put this on.
- She was Jeon Na Jung.

Wait here.

Hey! Where is this wench?

Hey! Catch her!

(Jeon Na Jung)

Hey, let's go.

Hey. Let's just go.

Who's that girl?

She saw everything.

Choi Ju Wan,

Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk.

Choi Ju Wan, Han Dong O,

and Lee Si Hyuk?

They kidnapped Eun Seo,

but she ended up in an accident.

And Jeon Na Jung witnessed everything.

So they couldn't just let her go.

Knowing their fathers...

Especially Choi Tae Guk
who was a chief prosecutor...

back then...

wouldn't have...

any problem framing...

Kim Dong Gu for the crime his son
and his son's friends committed.

Go to the US.

You can go there first.
Ju Wan will follow you there.

When you come back,
you can have a proper wedding here.

I'm having my son take care of it.
My own son.

Just go with the flow.

Just go with the flow, wrap up this case,

and go work at his law firm.

He'll make you a successful lawyer.

Ms. Oh.

Why did you do it?

"Just go with the flow."

You said you would help me...

get a job at TK Law Firm after the case.

And when I kept arguing for
Kim Dong Gu's innocence,

you used my family to get your way,

but you knew Kim Dong Gu
wasn't the culprit.

You told me to give up on him.

Back then, Father...

didn't want to fight a losing battle.

Choi Tae Guk, Han Sung Bum,
and Lee In Soo...

were behind those three kids.

Going after them without
any concrete evidence...

Shut it.

An innocent man, Kim Dong Gu,
had to suffer for a year in prison.

And I threw myself at work,
so I could stop feeling guilty.

How could you keep it from me for a decade?

How could you live ten years,
pleasing the three fathers...

of the kids who hurt your daughter?

I stopped him from going after them
until we were fully ready.

I asked him to do that.

I asked him to wait...

until I had enough power
to bring them down.

Until you were ready?

To take revenge for your daughter,

you spent years getting ready.

So you didn't care what happened
to my innocent client's life?

I did...

wrong.

What?

Kim Dong Gu is alive?

- Yes.
- Kim Dong Gu...

is that guy, Gong Chan?

Come on.

I'm sorry, sir. I'll handle this.

Ten years ago,

I trusted you and gave you this job.
Did you forget that?

I trusted you to handle a
problem that could ruin my life!

How could you fail me?

How could you?

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll make sure to handle this.

You can count on me.
I swear it on my son's life.

Why are you still here?

You swore it on your son's life.
You must be busy. Get out!

What were you thinking?

Why did you bring Professor Seo?
Why did you bring that up?

To let you know.

To help you realize.

But you were busy protecting Soo Jae.

But then again, Soo Jae
was doing the same thing.

Kim Dong Gu.

You deceived Soo Jae.

And Soo Jae gave up on you.

Soo Jae...

gave up on you.

(Soo Jae)

You still don't see it?

Soo Jae gave up on you during that trial!

Because it was a complete defeat for her,

she was able to join TK Law Firm
and work under my father.

What are you talking about?

What is this about?
Tell me everything you know.

Her mother and brothers
were arrested at that time.

And she was offered a deal.

Through her mentor, Director Baek,

she was told not to waste her effort
on Kim Dong Gu's trial.

Then her family would be released.

Don't give me this nonsense...

unless you can be responsible for it.

This is why...

you and Soo Jae can't work out.

You deceived Soo Jae.

And she gave up on you.

I don't care.

I don't care.

If she had to give up on me
to save her family,

she made the right decision.
She should have done that...

because I would've done the same.

Stop lying to yourself.

Do you think using that logic
to justify her decision...

would make everything go away?

You think I'm lying?

The whole world deemed me the culprit.

And even my own father didn't believe me.

Do you know how miserable
that makes you feel?

Professor Oh was the only person...

who believed me when I was in misery.

You probably don't know that feeling.

Hearing how someone believed me...

helped me breathe and keep living.

You can't even imagine that.

You got framed because you
let people walk all over you.

People use you because you
let people walk all over you!

So what?

Someone believed me.

That's all I need.

I don't care if she gave up on me...

at the trial.

You're crazy.

Hearing how someone believed me
helped me breathe and keep living.

That's all I need.

(Oh Soo Jae, argued for
my innocence, but lost)

(A lawyer at TK Law Firm)

(The one who believed me to the end)

(Why Her?)

My decision...

put Kim Dong Gu in pure torment.

I know what kind of person you are.
So I don't care.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you so much for coming back to me,

my daughter.

You knew it the moment
you saw the skeleton, right?

Because you failed to take care of that...

You punk!

I want to meet with Chairman Choi Tae Guk.

Are we on the same side now?

Not possible.

Did you skip an important step...

to frame the suspect as the culprit?

I never did such a thing.

I'll announce my ruling.

How did No Byung Chul
end up becoming the culprit?

Kim Dong Gu.

He coordinated everything.

He will now be looking at Gong Chan.

I had been neglecting it because
I was scared of having regrets...

at that moment.

Now, I would like to have regrets.
