EPISODE 8

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Go back in.

I will take you home.

No. What will they say if they see us?

Oh.

Yes, you're right.

Okay.

Father.

I wanted to be a prosecutor like you.

(gentle music)

OUTSTANDING PROSECUTOR
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT'S CHEON JIHUN

(gentle music continues)

-(rain patters)
-(phone vibrates)

(phone continues to vibrate)

Yes, this is Cheon Jihun.

SECRETARY: Mr. Cheon,
is Mr. Kim done with the investigation?

(lightning claps)

(phone ringing)

(phone continues to ring)

(line ringing)

AUTOMATIC VOICE: The person you are
calling cannot accept calls at this time.

RESTRICTED CALLER ID

MAN: Are you still in there?

You'd better hurry up,

Assemblyman Kim Yoonsub.

Who is this?

Who are you?

Is it true that Assemblyman Kim was
being investigated by prosecutors?

Who was the prosecutor in charge?

Why did you summon him in secret?

What was he charged with?

For receiving political funds.

Did he really commit suicide?

Based on the will we discovered
and the CCTV footage,

the deceased took
extreme measures to take his own life.

We will further inform you

after analyzing the handwriting
of the will.

(line rings)

He isn't answering.

He isn't on the roof either.
I'll keep looking this way.

I'll keep looking too.

(sighs)

NA YEJIN

How many members of the Assembly
did you give money to?

There's a lot.

I don't know if you can handle it.

I'm sure you have the list.

I will give you the list later.

(engine revs)

What are you doing?

How dare you show your face here?

(pants)

I have to find the ones
who did this to Father.

What?

When he died, someone called him
on his cell phone.

What are you talking about?
You did this to him.

If you hadn't investigated him,
this wouldn't have happened.

-Brother.
-It was his choice.

We haven't even had his funeral.
Stop causing a stir.

Former Assemblyman
and prime minister candidate Kim Yoonsub

was awaiting the final decision from
the National Assembly after his hearing

when he passed away at the age of 62--

The district attorney barely
got it under control.

Don't dig into it anymore.

Don't do anything at all

and pull out of it.

Why aren't you answering me?

-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.

Minhyeok.

Jihun might get into some trouble,
so keep an eye on him.

Understood, sir.

HERE LIES KIM YOONSUB

(tragic music)

JIHUN: It isn't over yet, Father.

What happened that night,

why you had to do that,

and who they are.

I'm going to find out
no matter what, Father.

CONGRATULATIONS
COMMISSIONING OF NEW PROSECUTORS

NA YEJIN

(phone vibrates)

Yes, Yejin.

YEJIN: Where are you, Jihun?

Come and pick me up.

She's drunk.

She's your probationary employee,
not mine.

You need to take care of her.
I'll send you the address.

-Was that Mr. Cheon?
-Yes.

(sighs)

So what happened
to Prosecutor Cheon Jihun?

(clicks tongue, inhales sharply)

Investigator, did you find anything
on what I asked you?

I looked into it.

The number Assemblyman Kim spoke to
on the phone was from a burner phone.

Will you keep investigating?

The higher-ups
will throw a fit if they find out.

Let's say that you know nothing about it.

Mr. Cheon, you know that there's a trial
this afternoon, don't you?

Who knew Assemblyman Kim Yoonsub
would do something like that?

I guess he was scared.

Wasn't that guy in charge
of his case again?

Was his name Cheon Jihun?

They say he's the mad dog of Seocho-dong.

Those who act self-righteous
always get themselves in trouble--

Give it a rest.

-It's nothing pleasant to speak of.
-(clears throat)

-Yes, sir.
-Sorry, sir.

(sighs)

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

(light music)

Also, the defendant
had been working diligently,

and to lend support to this,
I'd like to submit the petition

from his colleagues
to plead for his swift return to work.

Prosecution.

Prosecution, begin your cross-examination.

Prosecution.

Oh, right.

Well…

(clacks)

(dramatic music)

The person you said
you respected the most before…

Was it Assemblyman Kim Yoonsub?

But…

that wasn't your fault.

Though, I don't know
if saying that helps at all.

(dramatic music continues)

No, it isn't much help.

He was my father.

(gasps)

(door opens, closes)

(car door opens)

YEJIN: But Jihun didn't give up.

He did whatever he could
to continue the investigation.

What he got in return each time
was pressure from the higher-ups,

but he continued his lonely fight.

NOT THROUGH AFFILIATES
BUT SOMEONE OUTSIDE

Find all the business transactions

of all the burner phone businesses
in the Seoul area.

It doesn't matter if it isn't recent.

Bring all of them.

All right, drink up.

I'm Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.
We're here for an investigation.

-Investigator.
-Yes.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR:
Why didn't you listen to me?

I told you not to poke around politicians.

The higher-ups are in a fit.
What'll you do about it?

Please answer honestly.

Are you sure?

(upbeat music)

It won't take long.

We have the case
of the violent crimes delegated too.

-What is this?
-Excuse me!

-Everybody, out!
-What's going on?

(clamoring)

(upbeat music continues)

I know that you won't give up
no matter what.

If you need my help, tell me.

I can't seem to
continue the investigation.

Thanks, Yejin.

But there was nothing Jihun could do.

In the end, he couldn't find out
the last person his father spoke to.

Is that why he left
the prosecutors' office?

No.

Then, why?

Weren't you going to work on that?

-You'd better do well.
-Yes.

Looks like it's going to rain.
Let's go inside and eat.

Okay. Let's go inside.

(gentle music)

(footstep approaches)

Let's drink together.

(gentle music continues)

(rain patters)

(sentimental music)

(sentimental music continues)

That's your third smile.

(chuckles)

2 YEARS LATER

ATTORNEY: Why was he unlawfully promoted?

-Does that make sense?
-Darn it!

-What are you talking about?
-What?

LAW FIRM BAEK

(grunts)

(groans)

(sighs)

Here.

But weren't you going to have this?

I was, but it looks like
you need it more than me.

Really? Then, I'll gladly take it.

-Yes, sir.
-(laughs)

(slurps)
Mmm.

Aah.
(chuckles)

Aah.

Aah.

You must be exhausted.

This line of work
isn't always a walk in the park.

It took 30 years to get those words

inscribed over there.

Your dream came true though.

What is your dream, Ms. Lee?

(light music)

Oh...
(sighs)

Wait, let me guess.

But give me a moment, okay?

(chuckles)

Okay. You can take as long as you'd like.

All right.
(laughs)

ATTORNEY, LEE JUYEONG

(sighs)

-(knocking on door)
-(door opens)

-Mr. Baek.
-(door closes)

-Are you busy?
-No, sir. Please have a seat.

No, have a seat. Continue working.

I said that I'd guess your dream,
didn't I?

Ah.
(chuckles)

Here. Take a look and see if this is it.

(laughs)

PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

As a partner, please take the lead
in managing Law Firm Baek.

-Mr. Baek.
-There's no need to thank me.

This was my plan from the start.

(sighs)

I didn't think I'd be
handing you this today.

But I think I should give it to you now.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

(sighs)

Did you get an offer from elsewhere?

No, sir.

Then, what is it?

I found someone I want to work with.

Bring that person to Baek.

(chuckles)

He probably wouldn't ever come here.

What? Why not?

-(inhales, exhales)
-(uplifting music)

Isn't it nice? The rent isn't bad either.

I'd like it to be a bit more spacious.

There'll be two of us.

There's one more place. Come this way.

Of course. We're at the end of the season.

Just buy it.

My goodness. Long time no see.

(uplifting music continues)

-My goodness.
-Geez.

Oh, my. I am having a great day today.

You're playing really well today.

Sometimes, luck is on my side.

-(chortling)
-Here I go.

I'll do this. Take that!

Darn it. I messed up again.

Seriously.

Too bad for you.

Goodness!

My, my.

Hey! Have you lost your mind?
I was winning by a lot!

She came with the realtor.

You have to make her move in
no matter what, Eulrye.

Yeah. It's been vacant for years.

Smile, Eulrye.

Ma'am, you must be here
to see the second floor.

Hello.

Oh, my goodness. I'm so glad you're here.

You'll absolutely love it.

YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE

Why didn't you clean this place up?

ICED COFFEE, GINSENG TEA, GINGER TEA

I know. Who would move in here?

It's spacious and well-lit.

I like it.

Don't you love it?

You can't find a place like this
around here at this price.

You're getting it cheap because of me.

Cheap? No one comes around here
since the old men in the area are dead.

That's right.
(exclaims)

It doesn't seem like it needs much work.

Tomatoes for 1,000 won.
Come and get your tomatoes.

-Your turn.
-Up, up.

Hurry up and get it.

HOME REPAIR

-Hello there.
-Hello.

Good day.

(uplifting music)

But…

you don't seem like the type
to run a coffee house.

What are you going to do here?

I'm going to open a lawyer's office.

Juyeong.

This is it?

Yes, I'd like to start
in this neighborhood.

When I officially open,
you'll be the first to be invited.

Mm.

Why do you want to leave Law Firm Baek?

Hmm?

Maybe because you won't have
a place to go when you leave?

I plan on recruiting you.

Why don't you resign tomorrow
and join our office?

What do you think?

I won't quit being a prosecutor.

Do you look in the mirror these days?

Do you get at least
three hours of sleep a day?

It has already been two years.

You still haven't found anything.

Shouldn't you stop
and live your own life now?

I have it under control.

Jihun.

There's somewhere I want to go.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lee Juyeong.

I'll visit you often from now.

(gentle music)

Oh, my.

Hold up your side well.

-You can put all of that there.
-Okay.

-A little bit more.
-Why do you have so many?

Here, have a drink.

My goodness. You're trying to impress her.

-That's right. He's trying hard.
-He's being nice to her.

That's right.

Oh.

(phone vibrates)

JUYEONG: Whoever wants to go get fish
with me, raise your hand.

(gentle music plays)

That one's so cute.

You scared me.

You're here.

Look at that one, dear.

That one's so cute.

I'm going to buy 15 of them,
so hurry up and pick some.

Look at that red one.

If you look at that one carefully,

he's dressed in black and all alone.

He's trying to impress the other ones.

(gentle music continues)

Actually, I loathed
having to defend Choi Kitae.

That's why I hoped you'd win.

The mad dog of Seocho-dong

who doesn't care about money or power
and catches everyone.

That looked so liberating to me.

I left Law Firm Baek
because I wanted to do that too.

I have it all planned out.

I can defend whomever I want
without any concern

for the next ten years or so.

My bank account might suffer
in the meantime,

but I'd be happy, don't you think?

What about you, Jihun?

Are you as free as you want to be?

Or…

are you caught up in the past?

(gentle music)

(chuckles)

I really like it when you smile.

When you first smiled, I was so surprised.

I realized that you were capable
of smiling so warmly.

I wanted to make you smile

to others as warmly as you do to me.

I should teach you
how to warm up to people first.

You are a warm person.

(phone vibrates)

I'm sorry, Juyeong. I have to go.

(phone continues to vibrate)

Yes, Investigator.

PROSECUTOR, CHEON JIHUN

(sighs)

(gentle music continues)

Jihun, where are you?

Hey, Juyeong. I'm on my way.

Mm. See you there.

Okay.

What's wrong?

(sighs)

Jihun.

Juyeong.

I think you were right. I have been…

caught up in the past too much.

But what if

I can't get over that past?

What point is it
to continue our relationship?

That…

That thought came to my mind.

Jihun.

It's natural to have a hard time
because of your father.

I'm sorry I played it down.

But what can I--

Yes, you…

What can you do for me?

I thought about

what you could do for me, but…

(gentle music)

Juyeong, will you marry me?

(exhales)

(chuckles)

(gentle music continues)

Here's your business
registration certificate.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

(sighs)

I'm sorry.

I apologize.

(tense music)

Ms. Lee, thank you so much
for your hard work.

I learned a lot from you, Mr. Baek.

No, no.

Let us know anytime if you need our help.

You're still family.

Yes. Thank you, sir.

We'll arrange to have a meal soon,
so you must come.

-Mr. Baek arranged it, especially for you.
-(chuckles)

I'll be waiting, sir.

-(chuckles)
-All right.

I know that you'll do well
wherever you go,

so I'm not too worried.

But if you do change your mind,

you can come back anytime.

Yes. Please, head back in.

Goodbye!

Here. Check for yourself.

(ominous music)

What is this?

Ah. Yes, but we aren't open yet.

You can come in.

Okay.

Have a seat.

So…

how much is the legal fee here?

Um...

It's… cheap.

Pardon?

It's very cheap,
so you don't have to worry.

Okay.

May I hear why you're here?

Yes.

We have some overdue wages, you see.

-Oh, my.

(tense music)

REPORTER: Last night, during a random
assault that happened on the subway,

a woman in her thirties that
worked for a large Seoul law firm

was stabbed and moved to a hospital,
but did not make it.

The suspect, Mr. Cho, turned himself in

at a nearby police station
after the crime.

It has been announced that the police

will bring in a profiler
to make a psychological assessment.

Jihun.

Yejin, I'm going to take on this case.

Please tell Chief for me.

I know how you feel,
but you can't take this case.

The higher-ups will never allow that.

And I also agree.

(tense music continues)

When everybody…

turned their backs on me,

she was the only one who drew close to me.

I'm a prosecutor,

but I can't do anything for her?

I'm going to take this case.

I don't need anyone's permission.

DETECTIVE

(tense music)

Move.

You've never seen me before.

It wasn't you.

I asked the lady lawyer
to take on my case before,

but I never heard back from her.

By the way, is the legal fee
really 1,000 won?

(exhales)

Yes.

That's right. It's 1,000 won.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

(closing theme music)

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

Hey, what's going on?

Used cars? Don't you think it's a scam?

MARI: There are a lot of fake
deals these days.

This one has no issues and it's clean.

If you buy this,
you're definitely getting a deal.

JIHUN: Mr. Sa, think about it.

Where on earth is there
a cheap car that's good?

If it were so great, they'd be driving it.

JIHUN: Let's go and get a refund.

(screams)
What? Why are you chasing after me?

(exclaims)

JIHUN: These aren't neighborhood bullies.
They're a nationwide organization.

MARI: You're no longer a prosecutor.
What'll you do?

You want to work here? Why?

You can get--

You can get as much as you work!
That's what Jihun taught me!

Hello!

You're here to see used cars, aren't you?
