The anonymous whistle-blower has claimed
that they also have scandals related
to Acting President Park Mu-jin.
They weren't after Yang Jin-man's cabinet.
President Park was their target.
Sir.
Is there anything
you can think of?
Whether it's related to your work
or your private life.
If you tell us first, it'll be better.
If we make a move first,
we can prevent this from blowing up.
In addition, the whistle-blower stated that they will release the scandals
related to President Park Mu-jin tomorrow.
Sir.
Will you please tell us?
I'm sorry.
At the moment,
I can't think of anything.
Nothing that may require explanation.
There's nothing.
Then those of us in the Secretariat
will count on that.
Just a moment.
Ms. Jeong, you can't think of anything either?
Any speculations? Is there anything that comes to your mind?
Unless you're planning to sort things out on your own
to save President Park's face and protect his honor,
which would be awfully foolish by the way,
you'd better tell me now.
He spent all his time at school.
I don't know what the whistle-blower has,
but it won't be like the scandals caused by the politicians you're used to.
I wouldn't even worry if he were like those politicians.
Do you even know the kinds of things they do?
Even if their only son ends up breaking his knees,
they'll submit a petition to the MMA to have them enlisted.
They'll force their injured sons to serve in the military?
To reduce the chance of being bashed?
In Korea, nothing can cause more damage than avoiding military service.
That's what seasoned politicians do.
I'm glad
- that I didn't grow up in such a family. - What?
With political newbies like President Park,
you can never know what will happen
no matter how well behaved they seem.
Can't you tell?
I just want to protect him. That's all.
I'm sure what you want to protect
is the approval rating of the presidential candidate, Park Mu-jin.
You haven't given up on keeping the ruling party in power
or on Mr. President, for that matter.
Sir.
This is from Article Nine of the Presidential Security Act.
"No public official of the Security Service
shall divulge confidential information."
I'm a man who follows rules.
I really wanted you to know that, sir.
Thank you.
Well, then.
Mr. Kang.
Yes, sir.
The public is in commotion about
how President Park's scandals will affect this country.
The Blue House has not released a statement yet...
Have we heard anything from the Secretariat?
No, nothing yet.
Is there anything you'd like to tell them, ma'am?
Si-wan, you're back early today.
Are you hungry?
Let me get changed first.
Mom.
You know something, right?
Si-wan, look!
- I... - Si-jin, let's play in the room.
Come on.
Do you have anything
to say to me?
Is President Park keeping his guard up
because he doesn't consider us his people?
Even if that's the case,
he at least needs to tell you.
I mean, you are the chief presidential secretary now.
I understand why he doesn't trust any of us.
It was a Blue House staffer.
The whistle-blower must've been one of Civil Affairs' internal investigators.
Please find out who the whistle-blower is as soon as possible.
We must act before any media coverage is released.
Someone who has claimed to know about his scandals appeared.
- Seriously? - She'd like to speak with you, sir.
- Mr. Cha. - All right.
Let's go.
So what's going on, Ms. Woo?
President Park's scandal.
The information that was supposed to be released tomorrow.
The thing is, the whistle-blower's plan won't work
because I'll run an exclusive story on it before he talks.
This photo.
I'm in it too, right?
With you.
- What? - The scandal about Dad on the news.
Isn't it about me?
Not at all, Si-wan.
This photo has
nothing to do with you.
It's just between adults.
What were you even thinking?
I'm
not a kid.
Am I
really...
Dad's biological son?
Yes, of course.
You let your imagination run wild and jump to your own conclusions
just like your dad does.
Who else could your father be?
Like father, like son.
Come here.
You are
our one and only son.
Have I ever lied to you?
Yes.
Hello, Mr. Cha.
Sure, I'll meet you there.
Sir.
- Is this... - Sir...
Shit.
This...
Is this true?
This is
Si-wan's birth certificate, and this shows
all the details regarding the marriage and divorce
between Ms. Choe and her ex-husband.
According to these documents,
Ms. Choe,
who was already married, had Si-wan with you,
who was single at the time.
Is it true he was born out of wedlock?
Was her reason for divorce...
I mean, did her marriage fall apart
because of you?
This is ridiculous.
Is this true?
Sir.
It's...
true.
Your phone will probably be traced.
Oh, one more thing.
I told you.
This car hasn't even been paid off yet, so please...
Be careful this time.
No surprises, please.
I won't say "Thank you" anymore.
Why not? It doesn't cost you anything.
You'll have to keep helping me out for the time being.
I can't be there for you as your senior.
Words alone can't express my gratitude.
Right, try to get the security footage from the scene of the accident.
We have to check the face and make sure it is the one in the composite sketch.
Okay, I will.
You said you're headed to Han-mo's place now, right?
- Yes. - Just a second.
I just sent you a photo of his family. You might need it.
There's got to be a reason why he suddenly confessed to killing him.
Are you on a hunger strike or what?
Why are you refusing to eat?
Turn off the cameras for a few minutes.
Don't record or monitor our conversation.
Just for ten minutes.
Han-mo.
Now, you and I are really the only ones in this room.
Hey, look at me.
You know what this is, right?
Thallium.
It was used to poison Myung Hae-joon.
The guys from the SBI found this somehow.
At Na-gyeong's place.
It'll be used as conclusive evidence to prove that you two did it together.
What...
What are you talking about?
I did it alone, sir.
All by myself.
When? And how?
Listen, my friend.
At the DSSC, you guys were together the whole time.
Even Na-gyeong admitted to that.
Sir, you know fully well how Na-gyeong is. She is...
Agent Han is not someone
who would commit such a crime.
All the circumstantial evidence
and this proof says otherwise.
No, this is... Something's gone wrong. This means...
We've fallen prey to someone's scheme. I'm sure of it, sir.
Yes, exactly.
Na-gyeong said the exact same thing.
She said you'd never do such a thing and that it must be a trap.
If it's true that you guys have fallen to someone's scheme,
I'm the only person that can help the both of you, you fool.
