Ms. Soo Han Na.

Wake up. - Please, wake up.

Hang in there. You'll live. Gosh.

You cannot go any further.

This is driving me crazy.

How did they know to come?

Exactly. We're the only ones who know about Mr. Nam.

Yes, Ha Ri. We were the only ones who knew.

Wait, wait. Let me think.

Now isn't the time to be thinking.

Stop.

Gosh.

Sir.

Yes, it's me.

I'm sorry, but can you come here?

Right now.

How did it go? - Is she alive?

Yes, the situation has been taken care of.

All right, I'm counting on you.

All right.

I get that you're just an average lawyer...

but it's a bit late to be requesting a meeting, isn't it?

Goodness, Madam.

To think that you'd come to such a lowly place.

Please take a seat.

No thanks.

Let's go somewhere a bit nicer to talk.

The air feels stale in here.

Shall we, then?

Things ended up this way anyway.

Hello.

You're Ms. Yang Hye Joo's mother, correct?

Yes.

Do you recognize this person?

No, I've never seen her before.

The last person she called was you.

The last 4 digits of the phone number are 2230.

2230? - Yes.

She was supposed to testify.

Testify?

Yes, she was supposed to come to the trial next week.

She said she'd help clear my daughter's name.

I see.

So you've never met her before?

I haven't.

But she should've met with Attorney Jin today.

Ask him about it.

His name is Attorney Jin Yong Joon.

He's on TV, and he's quite famous.

You know him, right? - Of course, I do.

All right. - I see.

Does this place suit your taste?

It's a bit better. And the view isn't bad.

I think that people have an inherent need to gaze at the water.

Looking at it is making my heart feel so free.

Don't you think so?

Bring it.

Wait.

I...

didn't do this because I can't trust you.

What's this?

A wiretap detector.

The world is such a scary place these days, after all.

You really are meticulous.

This is how I can guarantee myself a long career.

All done.

I put 20 big ones in there, as promised.

And I'll give you three million dollars if you succeed.

I'll make sure the trial is concluded well.

How about you join our campaign?

You deserve a high position. - Goodness, you're far too kind.

As I've gotten older,

I've lost my taste for power and honor.

But I still desire just one thing.

This little guy.

This little guy makes me happier than anything else.

Everyone has their own place.

I'll be right behind you, helping you out...

so please take good care of me from now on.

You sure are humble.

Who said you could issue a warrant as you pleased?

We're in a bind, here.

Do you want to ruin the lives of the higher-ups?

Why should we have to care about what they think?

It's not like presidential candidates are untouchable.

What?

One of the secretaries who used to work for him was murdered.

And Mr. Nam and Baek Seon,

who wrote a ledger about their slush funds, were killed too.

And there's also a woman who has been framed.

Yet we still can't touch them?

Why not?

How bad does the situation need to get...

for us to investigate?

Do you have evidence that Kim Seong Jin is involved?

Do you have any witnesses?

That's why I'm saying that I'll find some.

How dare you keep talking back to me!

Sir. - What?

The chief prosecutor wants you.

Don't you dare investigate this as you please.

I'll never sign off on it.

Come out! - Gosh.

That weasel-like punk.

Are you sick or something?

You don't look well.

Did you have a restless night?

How did you get in here, punk?

It was nothing.

Gosh.

Anyway, I feel awful.

I heard the whole conversation. - Gosh.

You're going to attack Kim Seong Jin directly.

Don't you think you're going too far from the start?

Stop making fun of me. You should just drop out of this.

I can't afford to deal with you now.

But everything he said was right.

Just stop now.

I told you to not sit on the glass. The glass will crack.

I'm not trying to look down on, but I think you got the wrong direction.

Why do you think the prosecution is avoiding this case internally?

Is it because Kim Seong Jin is an important figure?

Jin Yong Joon?

Isn't it good to see him after a long time?

I will end the result report of the interim investigation...

of Prosecutor Choi Hyung Ki's corruption case.

I would like to apologize once again in place of the prosecution.

What are you doing here? Didn't you leave yet?

Did you really have to do this?

Prosecutor Jang,

you must feel that it's really unfair.

But you shouldn't resent us.

You should resent yourself...

for standing in the wrong line.

Don't you think so?

He was granted more than privileges. It's a corruption case.

That's the key point of this case.

You're saying that this case was all planned from the start?

Even things like the trial?

They would have thought that gaining her trust should come first.

People who will inform against Kim Seong Jin will gather that way.

Just like the female secretary who passed away.

They did all kinds of bad things.

That punk is the dirtiest one among them.

He looks like a naive man who lives next door.

He made a living from using the media since he was in the field.

Making up a good image for him would have been easy.

You also know well...

what kind of show he held when he resigned.

I know well.

He revealed that he would resign while opposing against...

the reformation of the prosecution.

In truth, he did that...

to monopolize the privileges granted for his former post...

To gain more competitors if he quit...

during regular personnel appointments.

But it's really strange.

He's a prosecutor turned lawyer who made one million dollars a year.

His income decreased strikingly starting from three years ago.

What is the reason for that?

Is it because his privileges from being a prosecutor ran out?

Or is it because he started to deal with money he couldn't report?

A secret defense? - Yes.

It's buying the prosecutor or judge of the case using connections.

From the client's perspective, it would be better than anything...

since they wouldn't have to go through a trial or be prosecuted.

Sensitive cases would naturally flock to Jin Yong Joon.

The amount he made from doing that is...

Wait a minute.

50 million dollars? - 50 million dollars?

50 million dollars?

His legal fee is two million dollars and his contingent fee is...

three million. He earned more than 5 million dollars per case.

Of course, all of that was paid in cash.

Wait a minute.

He earned five million dollars per case without going to trial?

Is that possible?

You must have got it wrong this time.

You think so, right?

If you spend 5 million to earn 50 to 500 million dollars...

who do you think it will be more profitable for?

He has 60 apartments under borrowed names,

500,000 square meters of land where a Korean wave town will be built,

a building worth 8 million dollars in Handam-dong,

a 7 million dollar building in Undang,

and also stock he received as bribes.

Do you get it now? - Wait. It's too fast.

You won't be able to calculate it.

Do you think a lawyer can legally earn this much asset?

Also, do you think that Jin Yong Joon is the only one...

who took cash?

Whenever he took important cases, he called...

the executives of the prosecution several dozen times a day.

It means there is a truck-load full of people who received money.

Do you think a proper investigation will happen under these punks?

This isn't a case that just started from a politician's brutality.

The entire prosecution is on the side of people who have money.

As long as we don't break out of this vicious circle,

we won't be able to get him.

They're rotten to the core.
