Delightfully Deceitful (이로운 사기)

Mom, are you okay?

Let go of him!

Attorney Han Moo Young.

Do you have any final comments?

I realized I was ill...

when I was a judicial officer.

Once I sympathize with someone enough to get shaken up,

it disrupts my everyday life...

to the point where I can't function.

That's why I took on cases...

that others found hard to sympathize with.

I thought that turning away from the poor,

weak, and unfortunate...

was the only way I could function as a lawyer.

Lee Ro Um was imprisoned for parricide,

a dreadful thing to do.

But when I realized...

she'd been framed and had spent ten years behind bars,

I betrayed Ye Chung Sik,

the real killer who happened to be my client.

I believed doing so would help Lee Ro Um,

and for the first time, I felt that I'd served justice.

During the process, I realized...

the law...

isn't fair and equal to everyone.

Unlike a court sentence,

the world isn't black or white, guilty or not guilty.

I harmed my client on my own accord.

I will not ask you to let me off.

I will accept whatever you decide to do.

I will now announce the disciplinary committee's decision.

Mr. Han, we sympathize with your passion for justice...

and your personal values as a lawyer.

However, you caused significant damage to your client...

and violated your duty. This, we cannot take lightly.

But considering your psychological condition,

we have concluded that you should be suspended for three months.

Here's the entire sum the former CEO had brought with him.

It's 500,000 dollars. Would you like to check?

No, it's fine.

Then get back safely, ma'am.

You see,

had I known you hated spending their money that much,

I would've never gotten money from them.

It's not like I'm going to side with them.

I was in a pickle,

so I borrowed a little bit of money from them.

I didn't know it'd make you this upset.

And let's be honest. To them, it's chump change.

If you truly thought of me as your brother,

you could've helped me clear my debt,

but you...

You must remember the revolver.

So I don't have to explain, right?

You need me.

You need me, Ro Um.

That's why you tracked me down.

Shall I tell you why you haven't managed to break Jeokmok's grip?

Ro Um, I was just...

It's because of your servile nature.

You'd better stay focused.

If you don't want to see the thing you assembled, that is.

Is Mr. Han Moo Young not here yet? - No.

How many sessions has he missed?

If he doesn't show up today...

This is the third time.

This...

What if I run off with this?

Why?

What?

I'm asking you to return it to where it belongs. Can't you help me?

You're acting so weird now that you've been suspended.

Goodness. What do you take me for?

You know it's not that simple.

It's not like I can use a drone to deliver this.

Come on now.

Also, why do you have Myung Hoon's insurance money, to begin with?

I can't tell you as I cannot reveal my client's confidential info.

Like what?

Does it have something to do with Seo Gye Sook?

I'm sorry.

I heard you asked Reporter Woo to look into Jeokmok.

Are you in contact with Reporter Woo?

Yes, thanks to you.

Are you still in contact with Ms. Lee Ro Um?

Yes, thanks to you.

Reporter Woo said this could be a big case.

Can I think of this as an extension of that?

Can I be part...

of this big game?

What do you think it is?

Mr. Han.

I'm like a swan. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Just to stay in Seoul,

I'm trying so hard to stay afloat on the Han River...

with my face covered with tears, saliva... I don't even know.

I work so hard day and night. Do you know how stressful it is?

Just answer this question.

Are you doing something bad?

I want your honest answer.

No.

Fine, just leave it here then.

I'll figure out a way.

Goodness. This is a lot more than what you asked Reporter Woo to do.

Oh, right.

So you're taking three months off.

What are you...

going to do? Have you got a plan?

You heard what I said.

And you still want to do this with Mr. Han?

Yes. Why not?

It makes no sense.

He's not like us.

I know he's suspended now, but he has a place to go back to.

He's not someone you can just use and ditch.

Back then, we were young and clueless.

But it's different now.

Who is Han Moo Young to you?

Why don't you go ahead and tell him?

Tell him who committed fraud at age 14...

and destroyed his family.

There's only one reason why you can't tell him.

You were an accomplice in it.

You don't have the courage to tell him,

so you're whining to me as if you're worried about him.

There is something I must do, and that's most important to me.

Whoever I end up using, it's none of your business.

So keep your mouth shut.

Unless you want to ruin him more.

How could you? - Say something!

Hey! - Please calm down!

Move! - Do something!

Say something, will you?

Hey! - Move aside!

Come on! - Do something!

Do you want something to drink?

Sit down.

Did something happen?

I'll tell you. - Tell me what?

Why my parents died.

You said you'd commit fraud.

To do that, you need to know this first.

Okay. All right.

Ten years ago,

I had a plan.

To leave Jeokmok for good,

I wanted to find a weapon that could lure the president into a deal.

There was another person...

who was trying to leave Jeokmok around the same time.

He had found out what he wasn't supposed to know.

The director of Jeokmok,

An Chae Hong.

The funny thing is,

I was part of An Chae Hong's escape plan.

Come here.

Keep it short.

You'll have to come with me.

Where are we going?

We'll take the earliest flight out. Either Cambodia or Singapore.

Hey, you have a couple of passports, right?

We can buy what we need once we get there.

Has the president ditched you?

You little brat. You know nothing.

Forget it.

Why should I even explain things to a kid like you?

Anyway, come with me.

An Chae Hong had an obsession with documenting everything.

While running Jeokmok for about ten years,

he recorded all the info on the politicians and business leaders...

who were connected to Jeokmok officially and unofficially...

and the details of their transactions,

which could be used as leverage against them.

These will keep our lives safe.

Find the useful ones as soon as possible...

and put them in the bag.

An Chae Hong's ledgers of ten years.

Those were all I needed.

Get your passport ready and pack your bag.

You'll leave the country at dawn.

Before the plane took off at dawn,

I only had one option left.

Jang Kyung Ja.

Long time no see.

We finally met.

Has it been ten years?

Yes. Already.

What are you standing there for? Hurry!

I mean,

you can at least tell me what's going on.

Just shut your mouth!

Where's your bag?

Me? - You want me to go alone?

Whose wife are you?

So, tell me what's going on.

What's making you leave so urgently?

I won't go without an explanation.

Explain to me what's actually going on, and...

I finally learned today...

who the president is.

I saw him today.
