HUSBAND
Hey.
What's up?
Honey.
What's going on?
This may shock you, but…
Ji-hoon…
committed sexual assault.
What did you say?
Ji-hoon did what?
Honey, wait--
Hold on.
What do you mean?
Ji-hoon did what to whom?
Honey, I don't understand what you're saying right now.
Honey.
Kim Soo-bin.
Kim Soo-bin blackmailed me.
She claims she was raped
and that she'll expose it.
So I'll be holding a press conference…
in an hour.
Before Kim Soo-bin goes public with it.
No, honey, give me some time before the press conference. Please.
I'm sorry.
No, wait. Honey!
CALL ENDED
First, Ms. Namgoong Sol,
then Ms. Kim's old incident, and now his son.
It's one sex crime after another.
Jamsil Baseball Stadium holds up to 25,000 people.
And with 30,000 sexual offense cases reported annually,
that's over 80 cases a day.
It's a common occurrence.
I'll hold a press conference at 11 a.m.
The person you are trying to reach is…
Honey, please give me some time.
Pick up your phone.
Please.
I have to call her. Kim Soo-bin.
KIM SOO-BIN (OLD)
The phone is turned off…
Oh, no.
HYE-JOO
JUNG EUN-YEONG, JUNG MYEONG-SEON
NAM JOONG-DO
-Ms. Kim. -Hello.
Where is…
I am…
Assemblyman Nam Joong-do
of Sinyang, Seoul.
Today, I came to know that
my son, who passed last month,
had a girlfriend
prior to his death…
ASSEMBLYMAN NAM JOONG-DO PRESS CONFERENCE
…whom he sexually assaulted.
Hence, I apologize from the bottom of my heart
to the victim and the citizens.
BELATED DISCOVERY OF DECEASED SON'S SEXUAL ASSAULT
APOLOGIES TO THE VICTIM AND CITIZENS
REALITY
Also…
allow me to share
the details of the bill I wish to propose.
I am proposing
an amendment to the Criminal Act
that allows investigations to continue
even if the assailant is deceased from suicide or otherwise.
You must all remember Ji…
Ms. Kim is at the office.
…to distribute an intimate video of his ex-girlfriend,
causing her to take her own life.
He then committed suicide
when his arrest warrant was issued.
This amendment I am proposing
will be named after the victim,
the beloved granddaughter of Ms. Cho Gwi-soon here,
and it will be called
Namgoong Sol's Law.
Under the current law, when the assailant of a sex crime dies,
the investigation can no longer continue,
which deprives the victim of a chance to reveal the truth.
Therefore,
I propose an amendment to the Criminal Act
that allows investigations to continue
by retaining the right of arraignment
even when the sex offenders are deceased due to suicide or otherwise.
The place is well-kept. Thank you for showing it.
I'll give you a call.
Please do.
-Let's go. -Okay.
-You know… -Yes?
The place I told you about…
Come to the National Assembly right away.
Hello, sir.
NAM JOONG-DO
I asked…
I asked you to wait, honey.
I just needed a bit of time.
How could you do this?
How could you go ahead with something like this
without talking to me first?
Soo-bin told me that wasn't the case, honey.
When?
I asked her on the day she first came to our place.
Did Soo-bin really tell you…
that Ji-hoon did that to her?
Did she? When?
She was here this morning
and threatened…
to disclose it.
Ja-young is giving Ms. Cho a ride home.
The phones will start ringing off the hook--
Please respond the way I told you.
-Yes. -Yes.
Hello?
-Hello, sir. -Assemblyman Nam Joong-do's office.
Hey, Yeong-su.
Kim Soo-bin showed up this morning.
Should I write a post online?
She said Ji-hoon raped her and got her pregnant.
She wanted to expose it.
That makes no sense.
Why would she have come to us then? There's just no way.
And why would she deny it when I asked?
Who knows?
We know nothing about her past.
Do you believe her?
How?
You believed her enough to hold a press conference.
She showed me her OBGYN records.
The doctor referred her
to a sexual assault victim support center.
She even has records of her counseling sessions.
And think of everything Ji-hoon had done.
This isn't too far-fetched.
What did she ask for?
She must have blackmailed you because she wanted something in return.
Was it money? How much?
Fifty million won.
It looks like I need at least 50 million to find a place.
Honey.
If you had told me on the phone,
I would have found a way to get 100 million, let alone 50.
Because I…
DON'T WASTE MY TAX MONEY AND JUST EXECUTE HIM
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY
DISGUSTING CRIMINAL
I GUESS THIS KID DOESN'T HAVE DADDY COVERING HIS ASS
MAKE SURE HE ROTS BEHIND BARS!
How could you do this?
It was hard for me too.
But I couldn't let her blackmail me.
No secret lasts forever.
When you've done something wrong, the best way to be forgiven is
to own up to it and ask for forgiveness.
It was for Ji-hoon's sake.
That's why I decided to come clean.
Taking a preemptive measure was the only way.
Please understand.
A preemptive measure?
Is that really all?
You're not
using Ji-hoon for your bill, are you?
What?
You decided to publicize my story before asking me.
Did you set everything up before letting me know today too?
Because you knew I wouldn't approve.
-Honey. -Isn't that the case?
If you only confessed because you'd been blackmailed,
why did you bring up the bill?
And when did you bring Ms. Cho?
Hye-joo.
That really isn't the case.
Do you think I'd use my son for my political…
I guess I already lost your trust yesterday.
It's all my fault.
I was going to propose the bill soon anyway.
So if I had to disclose Ji-hoon's crime,
I wanted to divert the attention away from him.
-We don't have any comments besides… -Please refer to the statement we sent.
NAM PROPOSES NAMGOONG SOL'S LAW
If I hadn't mentioned the bill, the news would only be
talking about Ji-hoon now.
This is too much for me to handle.
So this is how politics works.
You once asked me this.
Do you regret…
getting married to someone who wants to be in politics?
Do you regret it?
I don't regret it.
Never.
But I do regret it now.
It's like I don't know you at all.
