Defendant (Innocent Defendant / Pigoin / 피고인)

Episode 16

It's not true.

It can't be, Seong Gyu.

It's not true... It's not true.

Jeong Woo... Open the door.

Jeong Woo.

How is Seong Gyu?

They took him to the hospital, but...

About that...

Lee Seong Gyu committing suicide...

Prosecution Service

This morning, inside the holding cell at the Office of the Prosecutors,

the dead body of Lee Seong Gyu, the suspect of the Wolha-dong murder case, was found.

What was the cause of death?

We believe it was suicide.

Why did the suspect, who's been claiming he had an accomplice, suddenly commit suicide?

We believe that since CCTV footage showed us that the suspect acted alone,

and the recording of him threatening Prosecutor Park

Jeong Woo surfaced, he started to feel cornered.

Then what is going to happen to Park Jeong Woo?

Isn't this a case that you investigated?

If it's revealed that Park Jeong Woo isn't the true culprit, what will you do?

I will answer that after the retrial.

Chief Prosecutor, Seong Gyu definitely didn't commit suicide.

That's what I think, too.

But there was nothing on the CCTV,

The only time the post was unmanned was when

the guard on duty went to the bathroom.

It was Cha Min Ho's doing.

I'll look into it further. The result of the autopsy will soon come out, too.

Lawyer Seo Eun Hye, please continue to take care of Jeong Woo's retrial.

I will.

The prosecution will conclude Lee Seong Gyu committed

suicide, and that he's the sole perpetrator.

That's just the result Cha Min Ho wanted.

No matter how, he wanted to block himself from being tried as Seong Gyu's accomplice.

If that happens, and you admit to it,

at the retrial, you can be found innocent...

No.

By the way, you were startled, weren't you?

This... They were playing a joke on you.

Change into this.

Strangely enough, you liked this a lot.

Drink this too, then let's go out to exercise.

Hyung, why should you die?

You didn't do it.

I'm saying it wasn't you.

I did it. I did.

Hyung Jeong Woo, I don't trust anyone.

You must come.

Hold this.

Hurry and go. I'm okay.

Seong Gyu.

Yes Deputy General, please conclude it that way.

But Park Jeong Woo will get out.

We have to put out the most urgent fire first.

Yes.

The prosecutor's office will request an arrest warrant for CEO Cha Seon Ho today.

This contains the details of your father's slush fund.

Most likely, he won't be able to get out unscathed.

That's right, I did it.

You terrible girl...

- You... - Father.

The person who turned data over to the prosecution is her.

- I know. - What?

- You knew? - Yes.

Then why are you leaving her alone?

Go now.

You did that to your brother,

and now you're going to ruin Chamyung?

Ruining Chamyung is your doing.

- What? - You're the one who's ruining Chamyung, Father.

How dare you...

When your brother died, I was wrong to close my eyes to it.

I was wrong in taking care of that knife, too.

I made the wrong decisions.

Whether I kill my brother... No matter what I do,

all you care about is Chamyung.

Because of me, you were only worried that something bad would happen to Chamyung.

This bastard!

You should stop now.

You...

I'm no longer the Cha Min Ho who gets hit and cries. I'm Cha Seon Ho.

Make up your mind. If you want to keep on living as Cha Seon Ho,

then admit to all the charges like you promised, and go inside (I.E. TO JAIL)

or go as Cha Min Ho, after revealing everything you did.

No. I won't go in there as anybody.

This is the chronology of your slush funds.

If this gets out, you won't remain unscathed, either.

What are you doing?

If you're going to insist on sending me, you'll have to go with me.

What will become of Chamyung without you or me?

Cha Min Ho.

That Chamyung you love so much...

If someone has to make a sacrifice for Chamyung,

then think about who is best suited for that.

All of it... all of it was for the two of you.

For us?

In all my life, I never wanted Chamyung.

It's probably what you wanted.

I endured so much pain because of you.

Why did I become like this? Why?

Stop it!

You don't need a son. You just need someone who will inherit Chamyung.

Since my brother is gone, I'll stay at Chamyung.

Think carefully about what would be best for Chamyung.

Min Ho... Min Ho...

Father.

No.

Father.

Min Ho...

Father.

Seon Ho also helped me.

Nobody knew.

This time too, nobody will know.

Just once, save me.

Thank you, Father.

I will protect Chamyung.

You can't...

CEO.

Oh, Father isn't here.

Pardon?

But he told me to come here.

He told me to come over as well, but unfortunately he isn't here.

But...

Let's go.

Yes, sir.

Chairman Cha Yeong Woon

Cha Seon Ho

Father.

The sudden death of Chairman Cha Yeong Woon

has wrapped up the prosecution's investigation regarding Chamyung Group.

It was revealed that Chairman Cha ordered the

accounting fraud and slush fund creation.

Accordingly, the prosecutors decided to release CEO Cha Seon Ho.

I'm sure you are very heartbroken.

Thank you for your hard work.

Yes.

I will ask you one last question.

Defendant, the late Lee Seong Gyu killed your wife, Yoon Ji Soo,

kidnapped your daughter Park Ha Yeon, and then

threatened you. Is it true that he's the real culprit?

Defendant, please give me an answer.

Hyung, we have to do it this way.

That's how you can clear your name and go back to Ha Yeon.

Yes.

That's correct.

Defendant

Two months later

Cha Seon Ho's Inauguration as Chairman of Chamyung Group

Hello, CEO Cha Seon Ho.

Ah, no, isn't it Chairman now?

Long time no see.

How may I address you?

Of course I am Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo from the Violent

Crimes Division of Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office.

Prosecutor Park Jeong Woo.

Why are you having such a lavish and gigantic

inauguration when you won't even last a month?

Well... I'm not sure.

Whether it be a month or ten years, you should just wait and see.

Prosecutor Park, I heard that you came back under the condition

of keeping your hands off matters of Chamyung Group.

Have I ever touched Chamyung?

I just chased after one guy, that's all.

Oh yes, our Min Ho. I'm pretty sure you've already looked into it,

but I guess something went wrong with the thyroid

surgery so my throat doesn't feel as it used to.

My voice doesn't come out the way it used to either.

And my hands, well, I'm sure you know all about that.

And the dental records also disappeared because there

was some kind of problem with Chamyung Hospital.

I even think that things turned out to be rather difficult.

Why don't you just join Lee and Park (LAW FIRM) ?

Oh nevermind that. I think Chamyung Group's legal team would be better.

Chamyung Group Legal Team, Team leader Park Jeong Woo.

That sounds good. You can also go with me to the

prosecutors and be my defense lawyer as well.

I will make sure to accompany you when you go to court. As a prosecutor, of course.

As a prosecutor?

But listen here, Prosecutor Park. If I live a quiet life

for the rest of my life without causing any trouble,

and never have to go to court because of that, what are you going to do then?

You're going to live quietly, eh?

I've never caused any trouble, anyway.

I just happen to cause certain incidents from time to time, that's all.

But don't you think this is really fun?

It's not like there's anybody that doesn't know my true identity,

but they are acting as if they don't know anything.

Except for one person.

What's wrong with the taste of this food, eh?

Maybe it's because of whom I'm eating with.

Let's pay for our own meals.

Oh my, I only have 5000 won.

I wonder if 5000 won will be enough.

Let's see each other again.

Ji Soo.

Money? I can be the one making the money, you know.

That's not such a big deal.

You look the most awesome when you are working as a prosecutor, you know?
