Climax (클라이맥스)

They said they would help me expose what happened with Oh Gwang Jae.

So I was about to just spill everything, but...

This is me giving you one last chance.

(Contacts: Kwon Seong Uk, Kwon Se Myeong...)

It looks like Chu Sang Ah is about to switch cars.

I caught you.

Kwon Se Myeong...

Hey, Prosecutor Bang!

Well, will you look at this?

This is just great.

Hey, catch all the fish in this tank for me.

I'm going to give this place a good scolding. Understand?

(Chu Sang Ah is still talking with the old man.)

Prosecutor Bang.

I mean,

taking her down was so satisfying, I don't know what to do with myself.

You know I'm a softy since I grew up sheltered.

Don't worry. I will protect that precious heart of yours.

And this is a token of my commitment to our future.

Oh, my goodness. I don't think I've ever received a gift before.

Well, it looks like we're seeing the romance of the century.

Groom him for the presidential campaign, Assemblyman Choi.

What? He's jumping straight to the presidential campaign?

All right. The party nomination is the priority for now.

I'm ready to start from the bottom and work my way up.

Well, we're not going to turn down a star recruit, are we?

- All right, let's do this. - I'll do my best.

Right.

Gosh, Party Leader.

Hey, we're all here to welcome Prosecutor Bang. What kept you?

Party Leader, it's been a while. I look forward to working with you.

Hey now, Prosecutor Bang.

I always knew you'd make your way up.

- Let's work well together. - I'm counting on your support.

I'm here too.

Well, I didn't expect this sly fox to tag along.

Fancy seeing the woman I live with all the way out here.

You must be desperate over Mayor Nam to grace a place like this.

You're certainly quick on your feet.

Mind your own business.

Hang on. With this lineup, I guess we can't all sit together.

Normally, we couldn't, but I think today's an exception.

Right?

Right.

Right.

Still a wildcat, I see.

And that's why I put up with you.

Chairman Kwon.

This is no time for you to be getting sentimental.

Park Jae Sang.

He's getting out of prison soon.

You know Park Jae Sang

has a copy of the Oh Gwang Jae file

with your name in it, right?

If that resurfaces,

you'll be in a world of trouble too.

My father was hardly a saint either.

He was so suspicious of everything, but a quack psychic fooled him.

And because he married the wrong second wife,

he brought utter disgrace to our family in his final years.

Gosh. Why is he being so crass?

Mutt.

Who do you think you are, you mutt? Darn it.

At your unlisted villa in Yangpyeong,

you throw vile parties nightly. You're a real saint, aren't you?

Gosh, I ought to... Darn it.

Director Lee. I understand you're upset about Mayor Nam, but...

- Let's all just enjoy the evening. - Right, yes.

After all, tonight is all about welcoming Prosecutor Bang.

No, wait, or should I say Assemblyman Bang?

What's going on here?

What, are you giving Bang Tae Seop the party nomination?

Come on now.

I just did my job,

but if you offer it, I'd be honored to accept.

Hey now, the honor would be ours if you accepted.

- Thank you. - All right, a toast!

- Thank you. - Let's drink.

Bang Tae Seop.

You know what celebs and politicians have in common?

They live and die by their image, so they can be publicly crucified.

And when it comes to that sort of thing,

I happen to have a gift.

You've made a grave mistake.

Soon, you'll be crawling at my feet, begging for forgiveness.

Lee Yang Mi.

This is only the beginning.

Once I latch onto someone like you, who has everything to lose,

I'll show you just how far I can drag them.

So just watch me.

My gosh.

Is that so? The story of how you and your wife first met

is a goldmine of dirt for an attacker like me.

I was debating bringing this up, but...

You know that tax evasion scandal when Chu Sang Ah fought her agency?

That was my masterpiece.

What are you talking about?

She got cocky, backed by Chairman Kwon,

acting like she was invincible.

So I hired a few reporters to teach her a harsh lesson.

That's just my style.

Get it?

Do you have any idea what you put Sang Ah through?

That was the whole point. I couldn't care less.

Driver Kwon!

And about that Oh Gwang Jae business I warned you about.

I'm getting the ball rolling on that project.

It has a big budget, so you'd better look forward to it.

Lee Yang Mi.

I don't know what you're trying to pull,

but I was the prosecutor on that case.

Chu Sang Ah was cleared of all charges.

You still

don't know her true colors.

Chu Sang Ah.

Did you really have to go that far back then?

I believe Park Jae Sang came to you to be silenced.

I'm past the point of worrying over a measly document.

However,

for you, with blood on your hands,

it's a different story.

Sir.

Instead of coming to me,

you should take a closer look at your husband.

What's that supposed to mean?

How much do you really trust Bang Tae Seop?

The year 2018.

The Oh Gwang Jae murder case at the Seogwang Tourist Hotel.

I was first interested in this case because of Chu Sang Ah,

but what made me start digging was when I saw the photo

of Park Jae Sang who was arrested as a suspect.

Now, for those of you unfamiliar with the Oh Gwang Jae murder case...

(Three people intricately connected, Murder-for-hire: Why the actress?)

(Chu Sang Ah orders murder, Park Jae Sang, her bodyguard)

(Park Jae Sang admits to murder, Oh Gwang Jae, agency CEO)

(Chu Sang Ah and Oh Gwang Jae's relationship?)

He was the man who made Chu Sang Ah a top star.

And he was also the victim in this horrific murder case.

- So, who was Oh Gwang Jae? - Hi, everyone. I'm Chu Sang Ah.

Oh Gwang Jae was the man with the Midas touch of Korean cinema.

A titan of the Korean film industry.

Because she has natural star quality and grit,

I knew she'd become a global star, not just here in Korea.

He's especially famous,

for launching Chu Sang Ah to superstardom.

And as he was nearing a big break, a deal with the conglomerate WR,

he was suddenly murdered.

The culprit was Park Jae Sang, Actress Chu Sang Ah's bodyguard.

Oh Gwang Jae was brutally killed by Park Jae Sang.

This man is Park Jae Sang,

arrested as the suspect at the time.

But how should I put this?

He looks like he can't hurt a fly.

(Chu Sang Ah orders murder, Park Jae Sang, her bodyguard)

I was intrigued.

How did this man become the suspect in such a brutal murder case?

Who in the world

turned this innocent man's world completely upside down?

But then

the data on this case and the news articles

had all been completely wiped.

(No search results found for "The Oh Gwang Jae murder case")

Which led to a reasonable suspicion.

Someone was pulling the strings.

So I started to dig even more relentlessly.

Then one day,

a thought occurred to me.

Instead of all this gossip,

couldn't I take a more direct approach?

So I...

Went to the prison in person.

To see Park Jae Sang.

It's fine. I'll just come back.

I came all this way too.

See you again.

He refused to see me. So I went back again,

and I kept going back. Then one day, Park Jae Sang asked to see me,

and contacted me himself.

Cheongseong Prison.

Look at this. Pretty scary, right?

Hello, Park Jae Sang.

He looked just as innocent as he did in his photo.

But he wouldn't tell me why he'd asked to see me.

That was fine. I figured he had his reasons.

So I waited.

And then one day, shortly before his release,

He revealed a shocking truth to me.

After Han Ji Soo died, Chu Sang Ah

started refusing to film and was spiraling out of control.

So Oh Gwang Jae made me...

Chu Sang Ah's bodyguard. That's how we met.

I never knew it'd start like that and end up like this.

I'll tell you the rest after I'm released.

Chu Sang Ah and Park Jae Sang.

And the shocking truth that lies behind it all.

It'll be revealed next time.

On our next episode,

Park Jae Sang, just released, will join us in the studio.
