Pride and Prejudice (오만과 편견)

Episode 9

Do you want to walk a bit?

Time sure goes by quickly.

Look at the leaves that have fallen.

Every year, it grows leaves and fruits.

But every year, it ends up falling. I wonder how the tree feels.

It probably feels what we feel.

And how are we feeling?

How are you feeling?

I'm at a loss.

Because the person you thought was the criminal turned out to be the witness?

Yeah.

I was frustrated then, but I thought I would find another lead.

And now the witness might have nothing to do with my brother.

That is pretty frustrating.

I've been feeling this way for ten years.

Nothing I can't handle now.

The weather's already gotten this cold, but I'm still useless.

All my leads turned out to be dead ends, and I have nothing more to lean on.

Lean on me.

I'm very competent.

Think of me as your last pillar, and lean on me.

When you run into a wall, go back to your starting point.

That's the first rule of investigation.

Let's go to the beginning and solve it together.

I suddenly feel very sorry.

Why?

For misunderstanding you and hating you.

It's fine.

Thanks to that, you didn't forget me.

But I wonder what happened to that child.

Did he go back home safely?

But the child that died...

do you really think it was Han Byul?

You couldn't see if it was really his face because he was burned.

You didn't have an autopsy either.

If not...

where would Han Byul be?

Come in.

Did you go back home okay last night?

Come on in. Sit over here.

Today's a holiday. How did you know I'd be here?

I know that you like coming to work on your days off.

Of course. Forget resting.

I can focus, and there are guests who visit me.

It's a good thing you came.

I was waiting for you anyway.

Then you should have called for me.

I couldn't call you. Then it wouldn't be a tacit understanding.

If you visit me even when I don't call for you, we'll find things to talk about.

Yes.

Last night was a bit strange, wasn't it?

Yes, well...

You can say we were all sitting at the same table.

There was even the attorney involved in the case.

About that...

When the chancellor's spot is finally open

we'll see the dividing line between my house and the house my opponent built.

When those dividing lines show, it's very important to decide which side to take.

Will you join the victorious team?

Or will you look in from the outside?

Yes, that's right. Yes.

But if you place your bets where you shouldn't

you'll be in a bit of a fix.

That's why I've been waiting for you.

It's just two players in baduk, but...

Isn't our work a bit different?

If I happen to fall to the outside, isn't there a role you ought to play?

I'm not sure. Well...

It's not really up to me.

The central office already took over.

If you shake the rug, there's not just one particle of dirt.

You hold more dirt in your hands.

Yes, I have two of them.

But not the other two.

Then just take care of the two you have.

Well, that...

The director of the plastic surgery clinic is one thing.

But won't the National Assembly be a bit touchy?

Wouldn't it cause too much calamity for my team if we become involved in this?

If my opponent dies, then I win.

If I win, the calamity won't interfere with your team.

If I get to the top, there will be no one else in contention for the chancellor.

Our Chan. Were you waiting for me?

Why?

What is it? Show it to me.

Please show me. What is it?

Where did you find this?

Do you want to eat jjajangmyun?

I'll get in trouble with Grandma.

Chan!

Truth is, I want jjajangmyun too.

We can't tell Grandma, okay?

Promise.

Promise.

You should wait inside. It's cold.

No, it's okay.

Hurry on inside. Prosecutor Han isn't home right now, but she'll be back soon.

No, I didn't come to see Yeol Moo.

Did you come to see Chan?

I was just thinking of giving him this.

I went to the department store, and I kept thinking of him.

Our Chan is so lucky.

Chan, you have to say, 'Thank you.'

It's just that he's shy.

Anyway, hurry on inside.

You should see Prosecutor Han while you're here.

Then...

Chan, say bye.

By the way...

Have you eaten?

Do you want to come with us?

Sure.

So you're saying, prosecute for the cases he's filed

or he'll put your case files on the Internet.

Yes. He's a criminal mastermind.

He's not easily defeated.

Do you think you handle all of this?

I need your help.

- I do think there might be a way. - What?

A way?

I'll do anything.

Get on your knees.

- What? - And start begging.

Is there any other way?

I don't think there is.

It seems that young man acted that way because you treated him with disrespect.

This kind of act of passion can only be resolved if he gets over his anger.

Get on your knees and beg him for forgiveness, and bring back the files.

Dad.

How about trying to convince his family?

You can't approach a family like that.

Don't you know people get more worked up about family matters than their own?

What if I beg, and he still doesn't give in?

Call him. I'll go and beg.

Why would you beg?

Of course I have to beg! My daughter made a mistake.

Truth is, all I did was go to the club.

I only got tangled up in this. I didn't do anything wrong.

You didn't?

What good have you done to be so confident?

Lying to your father and going to the club, isn't that a mistake?

You become a detective and can't even control you prosecutor.

That's a mistake too!

Your words are so true.

While you're at it, why don't I come with you?

We'll get on our knees together.

When I said that, I was only trying to make a point.

You can't drag me there and make me get on my knees.

Wouldn't that undermine my competence as a prosecutor?

We don't have time. Let's go.

Me too?

Dad...

Don't complain and go!

He only works here at night.

He won't pick up. Let's just go to his home.

He said don't mess with his family. It'll complicate things.

He probably isn't tutoring because it's the holiday, right?

How would I know!

What is this?

Did he throw it away?

That's what it looks like.

Seriously!

Is it good?

Eat as much as you want. I asked for them to give extra portions.

Thank you.

You eat a lot too.

You must feel very proud to have such a handsome son.

I guess I do.

Unlike most kids his age, he brings his mother with him to eat jjajangmyun.

He's such a good son.

He's so tall too.

Even though you're not eating, you must feel very full.

Well, he was about that size fifteen years ago.

How old are you?

I'm twenty two.

You're older than my Han Byul. He would be twenty one.

But you sure are good looking.

I wonder if my son would have looked like you.

No. Would he have been better looking?

- Would he have been taller? - Of course.

Probably, right?

Of course he would. He's my son after all.

Please eat up first.

Drink some water while you eat.

Thank you for the food. I could have paid.

No. You don't make much as a detective.

I'll get going then.

Come with me to meet the prosecutor.

No.

Seeing him is enough.

Hurry and go. It's cold.

Thank you for Chan's clothes.

It's nothing. It was my pleasure.

Next time, I should buy something for you too Detective Kang.

No, I'm fine.

Your shoulders are so broad.

You have such long arms. Whatever I bring probably won't fit.

Anyway, I'm really going.

Chan, see you again.
