Delayed Justice (Fly Dragon / Fly From Rags To Riches / Narara Gaecheonyong / 날아라 개천용)

We present this prize to you.

They look similar, but his name is Lee Yong Seon.

It is Lee Jae Sung.

- What did you just say? - That jerk is Lee Jae Sung!

How is Lee Yong Seon Lee Jae Sung?

No, that's Lee Jae Sung all right.

Why is Lee Jae Sung on the news?

Remember how Ms. Lee said she's heading to the provincial hall?

Is this why?

Ms. Lee, are you at the provincial hall right now?

That's not an important event to broadcast live.

The award ceremony ended two hours ago.

- Who? - Lee Jae Sung! No, Lee Yong Seon!

You've already written about him?

Ms. Lee, we're close to the hall right now. Can you come?

(North Jeolla Province Volunteer Awards Ceremony)

Here it is!

"Lee Yong Seon has been selected as 2nd place for Volunteer Awards."

"He has been working as a social services worker for 10 years now."

"His wife also works as a social care worker in a private facility,"

"where she takes care of elders with Alzheimer's."

"The couple has 2 daughters, a 6 and 8-year-old."

This is great!

We got it.

We've got the records,

60,000 dollars of article funding,

and the real culprit has revealed himself!

The ugly truth behind the selfless volunteer, Lee Jae Sung!

Let's publish an article on him tomorrow.

A murderer has become a model volunteer?

"Even on weekends, Lee Yong Seon helps elders bathe,"

"has donated 10 percent of his pay to an orphanage for 10 years,"

"and has been delivering lunches to urban renewal areas."

He's received so many medals.

All of this must be a lie.

He mercilessly killed a person.

People don't change.

What if he has?

What? What do you mean?

What if he rose above and became a better person?

What? A better person?

Shouldn't we rethink our plan...

to expose the bad guy?

"Rethink"?

It was really hard to convince the captain and Du Shik to get here.

Once facts change, we need to plan another plan.

What has changed here?

We don't even know what Lee Jae Sung is really like.

Why are you all talking this nonsense?

Lee Yong Seon is Lee Jae Sung, the murderer that killed...

the truck driver in Osung in 2002?

Yes.

He looked so innocent and kind.

Are we introducing a boy idol group member or something?

He's just putting on a show!

What we see isn't everything,

but I thought so even when I saw him in the past.

He had an innocent smile,

looked timid, and very kind.

I'm sorry for going back and forth with my statement.

I lied that I killed a person to get attention from my parents.

I'm sorry, detective.

Lee Jae Sung.

Just because you go free now...

doesn't change the fact that you killed a person.

Be a good person.

If I catch you again,

your life will become miserable.

His wife seemed nice,

and he seemed to be close to his kids.

I'm telling you, it's all a facade.

The residents even brought him flowers.

- You're as pretty as your mom. - Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- Here. - Thank you.

They said his kids are kind just like their parents.

Isn't that rare at a ceremony for a civil servant?

If we expose him as the real killer,

it will be traumatic for the family and the neighbors.

What's wrong with you people?

Du Shik suffered for 18 years because he was framed for murder.

Why should we worry about the murderer and his neighbors?

Mr. Park, don't get so worked up.

Let's think about this calmly.

I'm not worked up. It's clear that Du Shik was framed!

We're not sure about who Lee Jae Sung really is!

So why are you all getting confused?

Let's not get any strange ideas!

Should I look into it?

- Into what? - I covered the story anyway,

so I'll do it.

He knows who all of you are,

- but not me. - Yes, good!

That sounds good. Yes. You should investigate.

Good!

Even if he is kind, he's still a murderer.

Who knows how he'll change if he is cornered?

He's right. Not someone as precious as Ms. Lee. It's too dangerous.

Who here isn't precious?

Also. Once a reporter has a conviction, you move forward.

Hey, you! You've really become a true journalist.

Stop talking!

If you want to know so badly, you go yourself.

Why are you sending someone younger to that dangerous place?

Why is it dangerous to meet a model civil servant?

- Right! - I'll do it!

- Nice! - Captain, please stop them.

What if he retaliates?

Lee Jae Sung is a scary guy.

Well... From what I see in her eyes, she seems resolute,

and she sounds like she'd be good at it.

Darn it!

Don't look down on her because she's a woman.

Get with the times.

Mr. Park, you've done your part.

Let's trust Ms. Lee on this one.

That's right. I've done my part.

Yoo Kyung's good. Right?

- But Du Shik. - Yes?

How did you recognize Lee Jae Sung?

Well... It was around 2006.

I met him at the prosecutor's office.

My mom told me that the real killer was caught,

so I thought I could get out soon.

The prosecutor called me into his office.

- Go back to work. - Yes, sir.

Lee Jae Sung, sit across from him.

This is the final meeting before we close the case.

You're the same age.

Let's close this case. I'm sick of it.

Lee Jae Sung. Have you ever killed a person?

No, I haven't.

Then why did you confess to the cops in Osung in September of 2005?

Detective Han Sang Man coerced me to confess.

I said what he wanted me to say.

Kim Du Shik.

Did you kill the truck driver?

No, I did not.

You've been imprisoned for nearly four years.

- How are you surviving in prison? - What?

You should be angry if you didn't kill him.

Are you demanding to be released from prison?

- No. - Then?

It was really hard at first,

but it's not so bad anymore.

It's not...

so bad?

You may go. We have no evidence anyway.

Leave now?

Go! We're done!

But...

Take Kim Du Shik away.

What?

Sir.

Sir!

It must have been so frustrating watching the real killer walk out.

I say this out of caution.

Do not even think about going to Lee Jae Sung, got it?

I won't.

Okay. Yoo Kyung will find out what Lee Jae Sung's really like.

Our plan hasn't changed. Don't get any funny ideas.

"The shocking transformation of a murderer."

Let's publish a follow-up as soon as possible.

We decided to wait for Ms. Lee's assessment. Stop that.

We already have 70,000 dollars to sponsor the article.

Mr. Park. People are backing us like crazy.

We have to think seriously about naming the real killer.

Stop killing the mood.

Did you forget what happened with the retrial...

for the Samjung trio?

What? What happened?

Kim Won Bok died!

Even if he was the real killer, it was still tragic.

And you saw Lee Jae Sung's family. He has two kids.

This is so frustrating.

How are those two related?

Forget it.

Lee Jae Sung was let go because there was no evidence.

What evidence do we have to tell the world he's a killer...

and brand him for life?

It may come back to bite us.

Sam Soo. I'll look into it, so give me some time.

Ms. Lee. Must you really meet Lee Jae Sung?

Yes. Isn't that what we've decided?

Seriously. These two reporters are driving me mad.

I need to take an anxiety pill.

Sorry. I forgot and brought you home first.

I'll bring your junior reporter home safely. Don't worry.

And calm down.

Okay, fine.

Sorry for going home first, Yoo Kyung.

It's okay. Get some rest.

Hi, Captain Han, it's me.

Yoo Kyung should be safe meeting Lee Jae Sung, right?

I'm suddenly worried.

"Killer retaliates against a reporter and the police"?

Have you seen that on the news recently?

That won't happen, so rest assured.

He definitely won't retaliate.

I'll trust you, Captain Han.
