Honour (아너: 그녀들의 법정)

I really need to see these jerks' faces.

After doing something like this to kids,

they pretend they're decent. They're not even human.

Identifying the users is proving harder than we thought.

Not a single name has come up. What about the police?

How's the server trace coming along?

As for the server location, Seung Jin...

No. It seems even Detective Kim Seung Jin doesn't know,

and it looks like the trace is going to take a while longer.

We need to crack it to get the user list.

You're not saying a word about who the users are.

The arrest warrant for Park Je Yeol will be issued soon too.

There's no point in you holding out like this.

It won't do you any good.

Prosecutor Park will be sacrificed, sure.

But, Seon Kyu.

Those people, the VIPs... They're different.

You think they'll even bat an eye at this?

No.

They know it. They know they'll get away with it.

Why? Because it has happened before, and they always get away clean.

As for who those people are... I can't be the one to say.

And you call yourself a detective, saying nonsense like that?

So

is that why you went this far? To Hyun Jin, of all people?

Look, man, I...

I know at this point, what I did or didn't do doesn't mean a thing,

but this part wasn't me.

You guys...

You really still don't get it, do you?

Who was behind this.

Are you doing okay staying with your parents?

How's Sang A?

That's a relief.

Tomorrow, we're going to file for divorce

the moment Park Je Yeol is arrested.

And of course, you'll be able to get custody.

Okay, I'll keep you updated on our progress.

Min Seo? Are you asleep?

- Yes. - Where are you? Are you home?

- Yes. - What about Han Min Seo?

Is she next to you?

Min Seo?

I think she's in her room. Why?

Get out of there. Right now. Hurry.

- Why? What's wrong? - The green hoodie...

It's Han Min Seo.

What are you talking about?

I just talked to Seon Kyu. Detective Kim told him.

You're in the same house as Lee Seon Hwa's killer right now.

Hey, Yoon Ra Young, are you listening to me?

Hey, Yoon Ra Young, answer me!

Ra Young.

Min Seo's gone.

Hyun Jin, I'll call you right back.

This is for you.

These are the candidates for the evaluation committee.

Seven members will be selected for the final committee,

but among them, the most influential candidates

who are basically locks are these four.

They have close ties to high-ranking officials

who have a vested interest in this project,

so in this evaluation, they will back our competitor.

If we can't get past them,

we don't have a realistic chance of winning this bid.

So that's why you chose Haeil, right?

Because my mom has enough pull to reach them.

How's the Connect case coming along?

It's been tough.

I doubt we'll make any progress until Park Je Yeol is investigated.

That prosecutor will be dangerous.

We think so too, and we're preparing for it.

For whatever his last desperate move might be.

No. I mean the prosecutor.

Right now, he's the only one who knows who the users really are.

The safest way to dispose of a bomb that's served its purpose

is to just go ahead and pull the pin.

If there's anything I can do, just let me know.

Thank you.

Prosecutor Park Je Yeol.

This is Detective Gu Seon Kyu from the Mujin Police Station.

You think he might've already run off?

Sir, I checked the CCTV. He was seen leaving two nights ago.

- Put out an APB, now! - Yes, sir.

Darn.

It's me, Prosecutor Park.

Why'd you bring the server into the country?

To blackmail us with the evidence?

How foolish can you be, Prosecutor Park?

Do you really think you can handle making an enemy out of us?

So you all get to just walk away from this,

and I'm the one who takes the fall for all of this?

I was under the impression that was the deal from the start.

You think that's all I have on you?

I was going to let it end here.

Get this straight.

You're the one who escalated this, not me.

There's only one possible explanation.

She was a mole for Connect from the very beginning.

But if that's true, why return Jun Hyeok's laptop to us?

Detective Kim said the same thing. That they didn't order her to do it.

He didn't seem like he was lying.

None of this makes any sense.

What could she have possibly wanted?

Whatever her reasons, Han Min Seo attacked you both.

And Hyun Jin could've been seriously hurt.

Change your front door passcode now.

If she contacts you, call the cops right away.

And don't go soft on her.

Hey, guys!

The hacker responded!

They'll hand over the laptop's decryption key.

There was some information hard coded in the code,

and it was a username I recognized from a forum.

He said he was just hired and wanted out, so I pressed him.

Nice work.

(Evidence Photos, Personal Info on Connect In, Timetable)

A user list?

A scandal that could rock the entire country.

So this is why.

This is why they killed Jun Hyeok.

This isn't just a list of johns.

Legal, political, and media circles.

They're all apex predators in their respective fields.

They can all act as shields for one another.

Exactly. This is a cartel.

If one of them gets into trouble, another shuts down the press,

and someone else obstructs the investigation.

A cartel bound together by their depraved desires.

Is this

the Connect In server?

We don't have to worry about this, do we?

Because all the evidence against us that was stored here is gone.

If this fuss drags on, we have members recruited for this.

We'll throw a few to the wolves, and things will die down.

All right, good.

I've got enough on my plate with the National Assembly Audit.

Wasting my energy on something so trivial...

It's just so aggravating.

What, you think you're the only one going through this audit?

Hey, that's what I'm saying. So cut me some slack.

He's different after hours. He's got a sharp tongue on him.

So, how are we handling Prosecutor Park?

First off,

since public opinion is a factor in the first trial,

how about 15 years, for appearances? He's also up for soliciting murder.

But if the sentence is too long,

that might cause an uproar. Seven years sounds about right.

We can whittle it down during the appeals.

- That works. The optics aren't bad. - Okay, right.

- Then I'll pass the message along. - Okay.

Okay, next time we pick an agent, we must vet their background better.

You want someone who's already in on the game.

I thought this educated type would be different, but...

- I should've known. - Exactly.

Gosh, I'm starting to get restless.

We should lay low until Park's arrest, don't you think?

What's there to be afraid of?

Is this your first time at the rodeo?

- Haeil will tie up the loose ends. - Of course.

- Let's have a drink. - Let's.

- Cheers. - Let's have a drink.

You all worked hard. What a relief. Like getting a rotten tooth pulled.

- Madam Chairman. - Hey.

Thank you for coming.

Of course.

Your plan for Shin Jae

to give her a way to escape Haeil...

Have you changed your mind about that?

No, I have not.

In that case,

this is my business with you.

(The Prime Smart City Legal Retainer Agreement)

Are you terminating the retainer agreement?

I'm sure you know exactly what this means.

The Minister of Future Strategy,

the Chairman of the Ruling Party Urban Committee,

and the Mayor of Mujin.

The most crucial players for the Smart City bid.

You'd give up connections you need to sway the evaluation committee.

And that's not all.

I will use every resource I have to stop The Prime's bid.

And you of all people should know

that I have the power to do it.

If that's what you want, then go right ahead.

However,

by the day of the bid,

do you really think your connections will still exist?

I'm a firm believer that justice will prevail, Madam Chairman.

Thank you for the tea.

Here's the background check you requested on Baek Tae Joo.

How deep did you go?

Level A. Meaning we used all our intelligence networks.

We investigated in Korea and the US legal, financial, and real estate.

We have his finance and legal records

from school days to the present.

Interviews with his associates, his health and medical records,

down to his private life, scandals, and all the back-alley rumors.

Good work.
