Jae Pil, you're a true friend.
You should've explained your situation to me.
You thought I wouldn't understand?
Thank you, Heo Jae Pil.
Drink up.
Let me pour you another one.
My daughter and I are about to die.
Stop whining!
Hey, that's enough now!
Hey, hey. Let's just both die today!
Die, bastard!
- Hey, come to your senses. - Get up.
Get up!
Hey, Jae Pil! Please stop!
What will you do with my life? My life-
Jae Pil!
Stay there!
I'll come get you!
Moon Yeong.
Na Moon Yeong,
listen carefully.
The day after tomorrow, go to the police station
and ask them to look for me.
The cliff you and I went to before.
Tell them I died there.
I need to die for you to survive.
Is this your father?
Dad.
Mr. Ha Jae Pil.
Is that you?
Moon Yeong.
I sent the syringe and the drug to the National Forensic Service.
They said the autopsy report will come out quickly, too.
By the way, Geumshin has been quiet.
I'm sure they want Chairman Choi's death to go unnoticed.
Ha Jae Pil, this man committed all sorts of petty crimes.
Assault, fraud, and obstruction of justice.
They might insist it was a simple overdose.
But he happened to die in time when Geumshin's stock value plummeted.
Choi Ho Shik must've ordered Ha Yeon Joo to kill him.
I'll use this opportunity to catch both Ha Yeon Joo and Choi Ho Shik.
So you'd better not represent him.
You might get screwed.
Since when was Mr. Ha Jae Pil Ha Yeon Joo's father?
What do you mean, since when?
Probably when she was born.
Well...
I was wondering if...
they confirmed he was her father.
She's exactly like her father.
The fingerprints match, and there's no name change record.
The family registry hasn't changed, either.
Hey, I told you not to represent him. Why won't you answer?
Ha Yeon Joo's father, Ha Jae Pil.
The body I confirmed 25 years ago was
the real Ha Jae Pil, right?
- Did you also- - It was an accident.
It was an accident.
I never killed anyone.
What difference does that make?
I said someone else's body was yours.
And I tried not to wonder who that man was.
Calling it an accident...
won't make everything just go away.
How about...
Choi Moo Won, then?
That was an accident, too?
I just gave him a shot, as usual.
I've always done it while caring for the Chairman.
I was told to give him a shot when he hyperventilates.
I was trying to save him.
I didn't know this would happen.
And I don't know why you're representing me...
His family requested to join you.
Could you tell me your strategy for winning?
You finally reunited with your father.
You can't part ways again.
You wanted this from the beginning, didn't you?
Because the person I have to defend isn't your father, Ha Jae Pil,
but my father, Na Seok Jin.
You...
don't know anything.
- Ha Yeon Joo. - Yes?
Do I have to dye your fingernails now?
Of course, Dad. All of my friends are doing it.
Dad, are you sure you won't fail?
Gosh, seriously.
I already asked the lady next door and...
learned all about it.
I don't think I can trust you.
- Take all of them out, then. - No, no.
I'll keep them.
- Yeon Joo. - Yes?
I'll go see a friend briefly.
Am I coming, too?
No.
Just to be safe...
I'll give you emergency money.
I'll sleep over there just one night.
You can't go out on your own because it's dangerous, okay?
One night?
Yes, just one night.
We'll go swimming when you come back, okay?
Promise.
Yeon Joo, don't remove the dye on your fingers, okay?
- Okay. - Alright.
I'll remove them for you tomorrow morning.
See you, Dad.
I waited as he told me to.
But it took longer than a day.
I was hungry, and I missed him.
And I started feeling scared.
I wanted to see Dad and ask him...
why he told me to wait...
if he wasn't going to come back.
I was determined to find him and ask him,
but Dad...
was already dead, apparently.
I'm sorry.
I'm...
Not to mention I didn't hear his answer,
I never even got to ask him.
I was looking for you everywhere,
Dad.
Don't make faces like that. Don't apologize, either.
I hate it when people try to end things with pathetic apologies.
It wasn't Moon Yeong's fault.
Dad, what the f*** are you talking about?
Do you suddenly feel fatherly love because she's your daughter?
Just stay put, please.
I recognized that he was not my father, and
you recognized that he was yours instantly.
Why did you do that then?
Were you mistaken because you were frazzled?
Or didn't you recognize him because the body was too bloated?
- It's because I- - No, you said that intentionally.
You looked for your father even after you became a prosecutor.
To live as a successful prosecutor...
and a daughter-in-law of a prominent family,
you would've been better off with a father like him.
- What am I supposed to do- - How many times did I tell you?
Represent my dad and get him acquitted.
That's the only thing you're supposed to do.
He didn't intend you to see it, and it was an accident?
Yes, he was shaking a lot.
It looked like he was about to cry, too.
Really?
Did the CCTV capture anything?
What did Cha Seong Jae say?
Why should I tell you that?
Detective Baek.
Mr. Cha Seong Jae.
What brings you here?
I thought you were refusing to testify.
Why would you say that?
Someone died. I need to help as a witness.
Oh, is that so?
I'm interviewing another witness right now.
Please wait a moment.
Okay, I'll wait.
Put your fingerprint on it.
Okay.
All right.
Wipe your finger and wait a moment.
I heard you found your daughter.
Why are you still doing this, then?
Are you afraid to be responsible after seeing her?
I just wanted to see if she was doing well.
I was able to check, thanks to Attorney Na.
She's way better of an attorney than you.
I was being thoughtful.
I didn't want a happy kid to meet her ex-con dad
and suffer. I was being considered as a human.
You're right. That's why I'll only observe her from a distance.
I learned that recently thanks to you.
How much a father who committed murder and adultery
can hurt their young child.
Why was it Tae Soo, not me?
I suppose you didn't want to steal the identity of a criminal.
That's true. And...
Tae Soo was easier, too. It would've been you otherwise.
Jin Woo, you're the one who brought Hwang Tae Soo.
You said he was the only thing close to a family and asked for help.
You even implored me and brought him yourself.
You son of a bitch!
Shit.
Hey, let go of that!
You killed Hwang Tae Soo, you bastard!
What do you mean I killed him?
Watch your mouth, you bastard.
And you...
Hey!
What are you people doing at a police station?
- I'm okay. - Calm down.
- Mr. Cha Seong Jae. - Yes?
I know. What was he doing?
Keep your mouth shut.
Did you interrogate Ha Yeon Joo? I heard her father is a suspect.
Did you look into how she approached Chairman Choi?
Mr. Cha, focus on testifying if that's what you're here for.
Instead of giving me orders.
It's because I'm frustrated.
You always get them away in front of your eyes.
Why did you go to Chairman Choi's house that day?
I was on my way to my house right next door. Does that answer your question?
What are you trying to ask... Oh, right. Ha Jae Pil.
I saw him for the first time that day, too.
It's him, right? Ha Jae Pil.
What's this?
What?
You look familiar.
Have we met before the Chairman passed?
No.
Didn't Ha Yeon Joo talk about me?
Looks like you weren't that close with your daughter.
What made you come here?
You know I'm the only witness who witnessed the scene, right?
I'll say,
"He had no intention to murder.
Ha Yeon Joo always prepares the injections that you use."
I'll testify that.
You can get acquitted of murder if you confess once.
Say your daughter made you do it.
Or say they threatened to kill your daughter.
So you had no choice but to follow their order.
By "they," I mean the late Choi Moo Won's son, Choi Ho Shik's people.
I...
never received orders from anyone.
Is it your hobby to kill people, then?
Just think about it. He was about to die anyway.
Why would you even try planning to jab him on purpose?
You have nothing to do with him.
Attorney Na Moon Yeong...
Your attorney, Na Moon Yeong, is my wife.
That means I'm on your side.
You can trust me and talk to me.
I've seen him somewhere.
Why did Cha Seong Jae...
go there that day?
It seemed like he was after the Chairman.
It seemed that way afterward, too.
Was he trying to hold someone hostage or something?
I thought he reached the bottom.
How much further is he trying to fall?
I think he'll continue to interfere with us.
Maybe it's not too late to take care of him.
It's not time yet.
His testimony will be useful to us.
Bom.
Wait here for a moment, Bom.
I'll check something inside and come out soon.
Okay.
Cha Seong Jae,
how did you get in here?
How interesting.
No,
should I say unbelievable?
Bom.
You should say hello if you saw me.
Wait upstairs, Bom.
It's okay.
I've been thinking when I heard you became Ha Jae Pil's attorney.
There's plenty of evidence for murder. How will you defend him?
Did Ha Yeon Joo threaten you?
Or are you taking a risk to catch her?
If not, was there some kind of a deal?
Why did Ha Jae Pil look at me with such an interesting look on his face?
Everything was full of question marks, but...
this photo you used to look at behind my back.
The answer was in here.
The suspect in the murder of the chairman, Ha Jae Pil.
No, actually...
it was your father, Na Seok Jin.
Didn't you act like you lost the entire world
when your father supposedly died?
I was the one who saved you when you wanted to die.
Me pretending to have died doesn't even compare.
All those years, huh?
You're so impressive, Na Moon Yeong.
Does scamming people run in your family?
You and your father are so good at lying. It must've been so fun...
playing me and my parents, who offered a helping hand.
Cha Seong Jae.
Do you really believe your father is innocent?
He abandoned his young daughter and ran away to survive on his own.
You think you can judge him for that?
So, that makes him innocent?
I'm the witness who saw him giving him the shot.
Don't you know his verdict will be dependent on my testimony?
Say what you saw. I'm not afraid.
Is that so?
Say Ha Yeon Joo threatened him and instigated the murder
and get Na Seok Jin released on probation.
Save your father and put Ha Yeon Joo in prison.
Isn't that what you truly wanted?
And change the passcode for the front door.
Don't you think Bom's lunar year birthday is a bit risky?
Bom, Dad is leaving.
I'll be back soon.
I love you.
Bom, are you sleeping?
I think Cha Seong Jae met Ha Yeon Joo's father.
He went to the detention center.
He's the only one he could've met there.
How do you know so well about Cha Seong Jae's whereabouts?
- Jin Woo. - It's nothing.
I tracked his location.
- What if you- - He killed someone, but he's walking around freely.
Is tracking such a big deal?
I understand you're angry at him.
But why are you obsessing over him so much?
You told me once.
That you'll stop people around you from getting hurt because of you.
I'm the same way.
Tae Soo...
ended up that way because of me.
I heard they were providing housing here.
So I insisted he move to Haean Village.
I'm the one who blindly believed someone like Cha Seong Jae.
But he got killed for no reason.
That's why I can no longer let people be sacrificed because of him.
I'll follow him around with all my might
and stop him with my own hands.
Cha Seong Jae went to the detention center to see Father yesterday.
He told him to blame everything on you and get out on probation.
That sounds like him.
Looks like Chairman Choi liked pastries a lot.
I need his medical record.
Seok Goo, she needs the medical record.
I'll send it through Chief Yoon.
Do you have anything else to say?
Ha Jae Pil's attorney will visit Mr. Ha at 11.
Yes, this is she.
Na Moon Yeong.
Eastern District Prosecutors' Office's Wolverine.
That used to be my nickname.
I wanted to have principles without compromising.
Because I wanted to feel proud of myself
if I ever saw you again.
I didn't even know I'd see you again like this.
The whole world will find out about Ha Jae Pil in no time.
Ha Yeon Joo must've planned out her next move.
You should stop now for that reason, too.
The moment I became Ha Jae Pil, I thought I had no control over my fate.
No.
If there's no way to get away from Ha Yeon Joo,
I decided to reveal the truth instead.
Moon Yeong.
I'll ask you one last time.
Chairman Choi Moo Won...
Are you sure you didn't kill him?
I'm neither Ha Jae Pil's family nor attorney right now.
I'm a human, Na Moon Yeong.
I'm talking to you as a mother of a child.
Because I think I'd be able to face her
only if I revealed the truth,
Dad.
Let me ask you again.
Chairman Choi Moo Won...
Did you not kill him?
No.
I don't know what happened...
and where things started going wrong.
Nothing went wrong.
Prosecutor Na Moon Yeong, in charge of this case that suffered a loss of 200 billion,
said she was determined to assist the victim, too.
Catching the culprit won't be the end.
I'm working on getting everyone
who suffered from the case get back on their feet.
I'm also in the process of retrieving the profit from the criminal organization
transferred outside the country.
Leaving you was the right thing to do, at the least.
But I never should've showed up in front of you.
Moon Yeong's father is alive?
How?
Did Moon Yeong know about it, too?
Apparently.
But I helped her give up on inheritance-
We've been played by the father and daughter.
Things are about to get noisy.
You'd better start preparing, too.
What's going to happen to us now, then?
The election and development of Haean Village.
That's why we need to immobilize Ha Yeon Joo first.
What will you do?
There are so many eyes on her right now.
She's the only one who has access to Chairman Choi's money now.
We need to take the 80 billion before she does.
I'll get her arrested...
for instigating murder.
You said Ha Yeon Joo got the prescription and administered the medicine, right?
Yes. He had to take the medicine at a certain time every day.
The question is if she killed him on purpose or accidentally.
Either way, Ha Yeon Joo was in charge of the medication.
They're both dead once the autopsy result comes out.
But whether the culprit is Ha Yeon Joo or Ha Jae Pil,
it'd be very strange in both cases.
Because she asked Attorney Na to represent him.
I know.
Why did she choose her sworn enemy, Attorney Na?
Mr. Do and Detective are right.
I see that you're being tortured by her,
but don't act as if you really are his attorney.
No, I won't quit representing him.
My goal is to get him acquitted.
- What? - Why?
You aren't telling us something.
Ha Jae Pil, the suspect...
His real name is Na Seok Jin.
What?
Na Seok Jin?
Who's that?
Na Moon Yeong, by chance...
Yes.
My father, Na Seok Jin.
But he passed away.
The one who passed away was Ha Yeon Joo's father.
The real Ha Jae Pil.
The name of Attorney Na's father is Na Seok Jin.
And the person who actually died was Ha Jae Pil.
He fell during a physical fight.
Why is your father not able to say anything, then?
Ha Yeon Joo thinks my father killed hers in the incident I mentioned.
But that's not true.
He lived as a dead man.
But he didn't kill him, you said.
Are you sure he didn't?
He left you leaving nothing but debt behind.
He's basically a stranger.
You can't even call him a father.
It means he lived as someone else pretending to be dead for 25 years.
And you want to defend someone like that?
I would've run away myself rather than living as a father
who continues to hurt his young daughter, but...
stealing someone else's identity is-
Sir, we'll have a bottle of soju!
- It was an accident. - So what if it was?
That means you identified someone else as your father.
Most importantly, the suspect is Ha Jae Pil, not Na Seok Jin.
You need to reconsider representing him.
No, I'll do it.
It wasn't an easy decision.
Seriously, Na Moon Yeong!
Gosh, seriously...
Back when you were a prosecutor,
our team was disbanded because we got caught forcing an investigation
and I was demoted.
I really hated you, then.
But...
I respected your determination.
I hope...
I wasn't wrong about you.
People make mistakes when they're 17.
I even killed someone when I was 19.
It wasn't a mistake.
I knew it was wrong,
but I thought I'd no longer have to run away once that moment passed.
I've forgotten about it until now.
Shin Hwa is right. It's terrible.
I might be doing the same thing...
I did back then.
Attorney Na, for now,
you should only focus on saving your father.
Even if...
that was a mistake,
you can turn everything back.
Thank you.
You've been going to my empty house and
visiting my father in the detention center.
You're busy moving back and forth, Attorney Cha.
Your father?
Right, he's your father-in-law.
Yes, you were trying to convince your father-in-law to blame me.
What are your detailed plans?
I might allow them if they sound very appealing.
You approached me on purpose and did all this. You tell me first.
I was never the target.
Wasn't I a bridge for you to take revenge on Na Moon Yeong?
Na Moon Yeong's husband happened to be...
young and capable lawyer, Cha Seong Jae, from my company's legal team.
It brought out my competitive edge.
Keep doing what you were doing regardless of my goal.
The money. You need to get it back.
I see. So, money isn't your priority?
Who else knows Ha Jae Pil is Na Seok Jin?
Fight between the two of you if you want.
I'm not interested in getting involved
and I can't afford to die from your trickery.
That's why you should testify.
I'll give you what you want.
Power of attorney to withdraw money from the bank in Switzerland.
You can withdraw the entire amount with the power of attorney from me.
You just need to give me the half of it.
But I can accept an IOU for it.
You don't trust me.
What are you trying to pull now?
There is money dormant somewhere without an owner.
There'd be no use in delaying.
You don't know when Choi Ho Shik will change his mind, either.
My father's first trial is starting soon.
I'll request you was a witness.
Say my father killed Chairman Choi Moo Won...
and you saw it with your own eyes.
Just testify that.
Bom, your tennis skills improved a lot.
You can play with me now.
May I speak to Mom for a moment?
Bom, wait in the car.
You met with Ha Yeon Joo, didn't you?
So...
did she tell you to be a witness for the Chairman Choi trial?
Go ahead.
I'll reveal how untrustworthy you are
as a witness in detail in court.
That's what I've been hoping for.
You'll get hurt, too, then.
Whether you like it or not, you and I are tangled up as much as possible.
I'll get hurt if I need to.
I have no interest in getting out without a single wound.
How about Bom, then?
You want to reveal how terrible of people we are in front of her?
How dare you pretend to care about her?
Yes, I no longer want to let Bom see us like this.
I wanted you to remain as the father
and I foolishly wanted to trust you until the end.
I don't want Bom to suffer because of that.
You're not foolish.
You only care about your future, even if people around you get hurt.
How could you be foolish? You're despicable.
I'm foolish for being tricked by that at first.
Think carefully about who Bom truly needs.
Just like you,
I can't let a parent like you have her.
How did you end up this way?
I don't know. How did I end up this way?
Bom, roll down the window.
Moon Yeong, roll down the window for a second.
Moon Yeong-
We need to take Bom.
Please plan our departure quickly.
This is evidence to prove Choi Moo Won's murder.
I confirmed that it was delivered to the prosecutors' office, too.
Well done.
You received the National Forensic Service's autopsy report, right?
The ampoule apparently had a different substance mixed in.
Yes, so?
The other substance was prescribed to Ha Jae Pil.
All of the ampoules found at the scene were tainted, too.
It'd be difficult for Attorney Na to prove that it was an accident.
Got it.
You've got to be kidding me.
I won't apologize.
I can't even go in your office now?
How dare an attorney enter the prosecutor's office?
Your father can't be on probation.
Just keep that in mind.
I know.
I can't win by comparing evidence.
Yes, of course you do.
You always have the last word, bitch.
Because he's Ha Yeon Joo's father,
I can't bring myself to defend him in the right mind.
But no matter how much I want to blame him, it makes no sense.
Before 2018, Mr. Ha was nothing short of normal.
He was a typical petit bourgeois who had nothing to do with loan sharks.
What you know might not be everything.
I found your father's case record you requested.
Drown to death.
High tide.
Estimated time of death...
You weren't the first person, Attorney Na.
Someone else requested to see this document five years ago.
Was it Ha Yeon Joo?
They found your wallet and ID...
among the late Mr. Ha's belongings.
The police identified the body using that.
But isn't it strange?
According to you,
Mr. Ha fell due to an accident and
the water level was high due to the high tide.
So there was nothing you could've done.
So, the cause of death was drowning, not falling.
That's correct, right?
But how...
did they find your wallet in his pocket?
When he came to our house...
you planned to kill him and put it in there, didn't you?
No.
That's not true.
That was an accident. It definitely was.
If so...
that means after Ha Jae Pil died from the fall,
the wallet ended up in his pocket.
If what I say from now on...
isn't true, please say so.
Jae Pil.
What happened? You bastard.
You waited...
until Ha Jae Pil died.
It was a mistake.
He was already dying and...
I ignored it.
Mistake?
Your one mistake and my one lie...
killed someone.
I wanted to see Dad and ask him...
why he told me to wait...
if he wasn't going to come back.
I was determined to find him and ask him,
but Dad...
was already dead, apparently.
Not to mention I didn't hear his answer,
I never even got to ask him.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Dad,
wait a bit longer.
We're almost there.
You'll get your name back.
It's the power of attorney from Director Ha.
Thank you very much.
Starting now, we'll start the first trial of the suspected murderer,
Ha Jae Pil, Case No. 2023-1040.
Defense, present your case.
Defendant Ha Jae Pil confessed that he killed the victim, Choi Moo Won
and he accepted all the charges.
In addition to that,
I'd like to inform the court that he was identified incorrectly.
Defense, what do you mean by that?
The man who's sitting right here...
has been stealing the identity of the late Mr. Ha, who passed 25 years ago.
He's my father, Na Seok Jin.
Quiet, everyone.
Na Seok Jin...
caused...
the death of Ms. Ha Yeon Joo's father, Ha Jae Pil
by murdering him intentionally.
On August 16, 2023,
he also killed Mr. Choi Moo Won.
Ms. Ha Yeon Joo and Mr. Choi Ho Shik lost their fathers because of my father.
I sincerely apologize to them.
Listen carefully.
I'll make you the murderer of Chairman Choi.
Whether I plead guilty or not, and no matter what decision I make,
Ha Yeon Joo will...
turn us into murderers.
Consider this as a punishment for running away
and turning the other way 25 years ago.
Okay.
I will do the same.
Don't think...
you can just apologize!
♫ I can't take another lonely night ♫
♫ You know that I need to know ♫
♫ I'm not giving in without a fight ♫
I've been hurting for 25 years.
You think talking for five minutes was enough?
Don't try to hurt Bom.
You need to be painfully lonely, too.
Bom!
Bring me the evidence that either your daughter-in-law
or son got involved in the Haean Village project and ruined it.
Even if it requires fabricating.
- What's this? - The Haean Village resort project will be suspended.
What's she saying?
Child abuse is the fastest way to take a child away from the mom.
Bom! Bom!
- I'll protect you until the end, okay? - Bom!
You lost the chance to make me feel guilty toward you for the rest of my life.
