THIS SHOW IS FICTION, AND THE CHARACTERS, PLACES, INSTITUTIONS,

EVENTS, GROUPS, AND BACKGROUNDS ON THE SHOW ARE NOT REAL

-(tense music) -(loud thudding)

Is it true that Assemblyman Kim was being investigated by prosecutors?

Did he commit suicide? Who was the prosecutor in charge?

They say he's the mad dog of Seocho-dong.

You did this to him.

If you hadn't investigated him, this wouldn't have happened.

Those who act self-righteous always get themselves in trouble.

Though, I don't know if saying that helps at all.

That wasn't your fault.

Why you had to do that,

and who they are. I'm going to find out no matter what.

Don't dig into it anymore.

Don't do anything at all and pull out of it.

It has already been two years.

Shouldn't you stop and live your own life now?

I really like it when you smile.

You are a warm person.

Juyeong, will you marry me?

RESTRICTED DOCUMENT ASSEMBLYMAN KIM YOONSUB

JUYEONG (over phone): Can you meet me right now?

I'll go see you at the prosecutors' office.

I'm sorry.

Juyeong.

Ms. Lee Juyeong passed away at 23:38.

Last night, during a random assault that happened on the subway,

a woman in her thirties was stabbed to death.

The suspect, Mr. Cho, turned himself in

at a nearby police station after the crime.

You can't take this case. The higher-ups will never allow that.

She was the only one who drew close to me.

I don't need anyone's permission.

You've never seen me before.

It wasn't you.

IDENTIFICATION CARD

It wasn't you, Cho Wooseok.

The man that did that

to Juyeong that day was not you.

Mm.

I know that you aren't the real killer.

And if those people think you were the one who told me that,

do you think…

they'd let you live?

All right.

I'll see you again later.

Until then,

take good care of yourself, okay?

If you change your mind, call me at this number.

I'm leaving.

CHEON JIHUN LAW OFFICE

Wait!

If I do so,

will I be acquitted and free to go?

Yes, if we catch that guy.

You're right.

I'm… not the one who did it.

Who did it?

I don't even know his name.

I've only seen his face once.

-You've seen his face? -Yes.

Do you remember what he looks like?

I think I can recognize him from a photo.

WOMAN (over phone): The person you are calling is unavailable.

What is this? Who are you?

It's me.

You…

Beg for your life.

-What? -Beg for your life.

Let me live. Please let me live.

Please let me live.

Sir, you've been through a lot.

Investigator.

-Please check first. -Yes.

-Please restrict the crime scene. -Yes, ma'am.

-It's my turn. -Let's go.

Darn.

YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE

-Oh. -(door closes)

Hey. Mr. Cheon.

Our hope, the pride of Pungjin-dong, Attorney Cheon Jihun.

You've come at last.

What's with you?

Mari says,

he is draped head-to-toe in luxury brands.

-Mr. Cheon is here. -He is being a little picky.

Is that right?

Well, hello.

Mari, can you prepare two cups of tea please?

The tea I usually get.

-Yes, sir. Mr. Sa? -Sure.

Okay. Please have a seat.

-(ominous music continues) -(inhales, exhales)

What can we help you with?

I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Cheon.

Is there a problem?

My past is holding me back.

Hmm, your past? Which past do you mean?

When someone does great deeds,

you end up getting your hands dirty a little bit.

-Yes, that's right. -I need a lawyer to clean that up for me.

Hmm.

So, can you do that for me?

Money is not an issue.

I'm sorry, but we don't take on cases like that.

Aah.

Is that so?

You seemed to be struggling, so I thought you'd take on any case.

I must've gotten it wrong.

Hang on a second.

Did you say we seemed to be struggling?

I guess…

My pride led me to act hard to get, but you caught on pretty quickly.

You brought your ID, didn't you? Please sit down.

We are actually struggling.

All right. Got it.

IDENTIFICATION CARD KIM SOONHO

Ms. Baek, please make a copy of his ID.

Yes, sir.

I'll take a look at it.

How interesting. Is your legal fee 1,000 won?

Yes, it's 1,000 won.

It's 1,000 won per second.

-Per second? -Yes, heard of a time-operating system?

We don't charge by the hour,

but by the second.

MUJANG (in whispered voice): By the second.

An hour has 3,600 seconds. 3,600 times 1,000.

That's 3.6 million won an hour.

Was that too expensive?

It's ridiculous. Not even Law Firm Baek charges that much.

The legal fee doesn't matter. You can charge me any amount.

-Mr. Cheon. -Yes.

Okay, Mr. Kim Soonho. We'll take a thorough look into it and contact you.

-Here you go. -Okay.

-Yes! -(door opens)

LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F

What do you plan on doing now?

It's already been three years.

Hmm.

You haven't found any leads.

I'm going to change my methods.

How?

I'll make them come to me.

What's this? What happened?

Is it broken?

What's wrong? Is something the matter?

The picture didn't print.

If it was broken, it wouldn't have printed at all.

How strange. Only the photo didn't print.

IDENTIFICATION CARD KIM SOONHO

My past is holding me back.

Mr. Cheon.

Mr. Cheon!

YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE

Pardon me.

Oh.

-Geez. -I'm terribly sorry.

I'm sorry.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

Assemblyman Oh Kichul, suicide.

Deputy head of Daesan Construction Choi Gyuseok, suicide.

These two were both involved in creating a slush fund with JQ Group.

Also,

on the 20th at 3:00 a.m.,

Cayman Fund's CEO Kim Sungwook

was found dead in his own car.

This is the footage

of Mr. Kim's car which was taken at 1:42 a.m.

As you can see, he was in the car alone.

Any other suspicious cars? He wasn't being followed or anything?

We checked all the cars that was caught on CCTV

from before and after that time, but there weren't any.

Then, was it a suicide?

There is one thing that makes me hesitate to call it suicide.

This is footage that was taken around the time at a nearby farm.

Who is that?

We have confirmed that he's not a resident of the area,

but we're still searching to find out who he is.
