(Episode 14)
Why are we here?
I need to take care of something.
I know that, but what is it?
Why you...
My goodness.
Did you have a comfortable trip on your way here,
Byun Il Jae?
Right now,
looking at your face is making me uncomfortable.
Then,
I'll make you feel comfortable.
You little...
How can you betray us?
Take this, you jerk!
I knew you'd be alive.
How long until we reach Yang Dong Yi?
Within the next 10 minutes.
(Seocho-dong Broker)
Who is it?
It's the broker.
- Hello. - Are you with Dong Yi right now?
Yes, but we had something come up, so we've made a stop.
We're on our way.
We'll be there soon.
All right.
Is the ship ready?
I think we should leave for the docks.
We'll go,
but we should finish things up before we do.
Thanks to you, I get to use my knife again.
What are you doing? Why aren't you trying to save me?
Hurry!
Die, Byun Il Jae.
I hope you suffer more pain...
than the pain I was in.
Die a miserable death.
You...
You punk!
Hey.
You've never...
killed someone before, right?
Try it.
A traitor is not a human.
Just think of him as a bug and stab him.
Well?
Don't you want your money?
Try it. Go ahead.
What's wrong with you?
You...
What?
Soon,
Prosecutor Kang will arrive.
Go! Go stop them!
Gosh!
Boys, block them!
Arrest them!
You!
No...
Get him!
Who are you?
Are you a traitor, too?
Did you think I would help someone like you?
You little...
Are you all right?
I'm fine. What about the phone?
He gave it to a pawn shop, so I asked for it to be delivered here.
Delivery!
- Let's go! - Walk!
Go!
Now that I have this phone with me, I can easily get rid of Gwang Woo.
Laugh while you can.
Your turn will come after Gwang Woo.
Yang Dong Yi will have to follow our orders now.
Here is Congressman Park's phone.
Yes, this must be it.
If it wasn't for Gi Tan, you would've been in trouble.
I'll never forget about what happened today.
How did it go with Do Gwang Woo?
He'll be investigated without detention.
I think he'll be released early tomorrow morning.
(Do Gwang Woo, CEO of Dodo Group)
It must've been difficult, Sir.
- Let's go. - Sure.
You were very quick to switch...
from Do Gwang Woo to Director Byun.
We're on the same boat, so don't be so harsh.
You're awful.
I'm here because he recognised my competence.
But how can you stay so close to Director Byun?
I'm not staying close to him.
He's staying close to me.
It's Gi Tan.
It must've been difficult, Sir.
It wasn't so bad.
The prosecutors had a difficult time because of me.
But...
why did you bring this idiot?
He's here to deal with some legal procedures.
Don't we have anyone else in our legal team?
I already feel awful as it is.
Sir, let's go. Your family is waiting.
Hey.
How dare you follow me?
Who do you think you are?
If you're done working, go.
So this is where my mum used to live.
Gwang Woo, are you okay?
I'm fine, Mum.
You look better, actually.
Did you like their food?
I am sorry, Father.
There's no need to be sorry.
There are times to win...
and to lose when one does business.
You are right.
See? I told you that my father would understand.
Yes, Sir.
Come to my room.
Let's discuss your future steps.
Mum, can I have samgyetang with a lot of ginseng for dinner?
I feel very weak.
Shouldn't you eat tofu? You've been to the prison.
I went to the Prosecutors' Office, not the prison.
- Go to your father's room. - Okay.
Great job.
I prepared breakfast. You can eat before you go to work.
Thank you.
- Father. - Don't you dare call me that!
Father... Father...
I was wrong, spare me!
Open the door.
- Chairman won't let anyone in. - Spare me.
I am so sorry!
Move away! Right now!
Father!
- Please, Father. - I died again.
Father, please!
Spare me!
Miss, could you go and try to stop him?
Kang Ga Din, I have an ad shooting at Dodo Hospital tomorrow.
Don't be late.
- Do you want to kill your only son? - Save me, Mum!
- Mum! - Let go!
Chairman would listen to you.
You still have no idea about this household.
Father, please!
All of our family members will gather around to eat breakfast soon,
as if nothing had happened.
- What's with you? - Mum!
(Dodo Group)
Chairman is here!
CEO Do Gwang Woo is at work.
He's so bold.
It is his company, but he's bold.
Legal team has a meeting. Hurry up and come.
Oh Soo Yeon and Do Gun Woo...
will help you prepare for the interrogation.
Can I let Do Gun Woo go...
and do it only with Oh Soo Yeon?
I'm sorry, I am not fully competent.
My lawyers are competent enough.
I just need a heart to rely on.
Choi Ji Hye's sick bail was denied.
Why?
I think Dodo Group did something.
How can he stop her from getting a sick bail?
Wow, I love the look on your eyes.
I can see that you are determined to work hard.
Thanks, you idiot.
All right, then.
Our meeting is over, so let's go get something to eat.
I'm sorry, but I have to gather some data at the court.
If she's leaving, we'll just eat another time.
If I am found not guilty,
I will give a huge bonus to the legal team.
So give this your best.
Is there no way she can get...
a sick bail?
There is no way out as long as Dodo Group is in the way.
We'll have to wait until the trial.
Dodo Group...
does not spare our support for cancer patients.
This is an honest company striving for the future,
- Dodo Group. - Cut!
Liar.
That was good, but let's do it once more.
Could you walk a little bit slower this time?
That's great.
Let's take it from the top.
All right.
Ready,
action!
Dodo Group...
does not spare our support for cancer patients.
This is an honest company striving for the future,
- You liar! You're a liar! - Oh, my!
Who is this kid?
My goodness!
Ye Bin!
Ye Bin, are you okay?
Can someone call a doctor?
Someone get a doctor!
Wait here.
Is that all because of Gwang Woo?
That's why he is being investigated right now.
I feel humiliated about the fact that he is my brother.
I'm a bit embarrassed, too.
He's my boss, you know.
What happened to that girl?
She woke up and was moved to a ward.
What is she sick with?
Ye Bin has...
childhood cancer.
Then...
did that T9 thing cause...
cancer in that little girl?
Was your name Ye Bin?
Be honest with me. Are you pretending to be sick?
You must be pretending because you got well so quickly.
Yes, I am pretending. That's why I went bald.
That's why I eat more medicine than food.
And that's why I've never been to a school.
You're a smart one for someone who's never been to school.
I hear that often.
You'll become an awesome adult.
Yes, if I live to be an adult.
You won't back down, will you?
Please, leave.
I heard about your mum.
She'll be released soon.
How can you do that?
Do you know who I am?
My father is...
Dodo Group's chairman.
Then you're a bad person, too.
I know that everyone there is a liar.
Please, leave.
I will make sure your mum gets released from prison.
Stop the shooting...
and go find my brother right now.
No, I should go see my dad first.
Find out where the chairman is right now.
- Hello. - Hi.
- Hello. - Okay.
Dear Sister, where are you going in a rush?
Is it true that T9 is a carcinogen?
What nonsense are you talking about?
If it's nonsense, why won't you let Ji Hye out on bail for her illness?
It's because you have something that you're hiding, am I right?
Come with me for a minute.
Let go!
Come here.
Let me go.
Shin Young, you're free to listen to those fake rumours as you wish.
But it's not right for you to spread them yourself.
Choi Ji Hye will be granted bail for her illness.
I've ordered our legal team to do it.
When were you ever interested in such a thing?
How can I not be? We're about to get in trouble because of you.
What are you talking about?
I was the one in the commercial. I'm the face of Dodo Group.
Slush fund and now T9? If these aren't trouble, what is?
Come on. You think you're the face of Dodo Group?
You've gone too far with your delusions.
Can't you live like a human being?
How can you use T9 when you knew that it was a carcinogen?
I just told you, it's just a rumour.
I just went and saw all the patients.
Do you think I'm as dumb as you?
Do you need me to hit you to wake up?
You didn't tell Dad, did you?
Why? Are you scared he will find out?
It's just a rumour, so who cares?
Shin Young, you know that Dad has a weak heart. Right?
We shouldn't worry him because of something like this.
(Father)
Did you tattle on me already?
No. I haven't told him yet.
Yes, Father.
Come home this instant.
Is something the matter?
Why did you hide that T9 is a carcinogen?
Dad, Dad... I just...
Dad? Dad.
Hey!
Do Shin Young. Is this how you want to play?
Your son is here.
After this trial is over,
you'll be assigned to our office in the US.
What do you mean?
If you make trouble there, too,
you will no longer be my son.
Dad, what Shin Young said is not true.
I'm done talking to you!
But Dad, isn't going abroad too much?
Mr Gong!
Sir, you should go.
I'll do everything you say if I'm found guilty.
But if I'm found innocent,
I won't leave.
Mr Gong.
Find out more about Gwang Woo's case.
Also, find out where they're at with the investigation.
Yes, Sir.
A testimony of Kang Yong Deok is in that phone.
Let's play it.
When I was working in Dodo Chemicals' lab,
we found out that T9 had group 1 carcinogen during animal testing.
But CEO Do told us to hide the truth.
What was the reason?
T9 was the most affordable coating agent compared to the others.
It helped him make his slush fund.
Do you have proof?
I heard Cho Jae Yong of Masung Chemicals, Yoon Gwang Sik...
of Dodo Chemicals and CEO Do talking.
- Can you explain in detail? - Let's stop right there.
There is about 30 minutes' worth of interview following this.
I think this is enough evidence.
If we show this video in court,
Do Gwang Woo will be done for like you planned.
If Congressman Park's video is revealed at court,
Dodo Group will crumble into pieces.
It's all my fault.
I knew how small a person my son was.
I should have never given him such a big role.
We still have time to solve this.
Just give me the order, Sir.
Let me think about it.
Did you ask for me?
Can you suggest someone for me?
I need someone trustworthy.
There is someone I've been studying for a while.
(Moon Tae Gwang, Chief Secretary of Dodo Group)
How long has it been since you joined the company?
It's my 20th year.
You started when you were burning with passion...
and gave all of your youth to the company, didn't you?
I think I'm still young.
I'm still burning with passion to serve Dodo Group.
What do you think success is?
I've been running until now, just to find out what that is.
Success is...
meeting people.
Someone you can drink poisonous shots with.
If you have someone...
to drink that shot with,
then you've succeeded.
Tae Gwang.
Do you think you can...
raise your glass with me?
If it's a shot you're giving me,
it is not poison, but a sweet drink.
Give me the order, and I'll be yours.
I won't beat around the bush.
Can you switch the prosecutors to those who will favour Gwang Woo?
I'll take care of the bribing.
When did you start talking like your husband?
All my life,
I've hardly asked you for favours.
What are you talking about?
It's already your third time picking up after Gwang Woo.
I said, "hardly".
I didn't say never.
Do you not know what "hardly" means?
- Forget it. - Unbelievable.
I understand what you mean. Let's just finish eating.
You'll help, right?
He's not the president. He can't assign prosecutors to...
We're not asking for your help, Ji Soo.
Why wouldn't I help my nephew?
I'll do my best.
Thank you, Uncle.
Please don't tell my husband that I asked you for your help.
If he finds out, he'll get a shock.
Uncle, let me pour you a drink.
- All right. - Here.
The media has suspicions that my father-in-law will get involved.
I'm sure. Gwang Woo is his nephew after all.
That's why I'm asking you for a favour.
Please assign powerful prosecutors...
that won't be shaken by Dodo Group's tactics.
If that's what Congressman Hwang wants, I won't decline.
Yes.
All right.
Ma'am.
Il Jae.
We could have eaten together if I knew you were here.
But why is he always tagging along?
He's a staff in my legal team.
Say hello, it's our chairman's wife.
I'm Do Gun Woo.
Have we...
met before?
I'm sorry. It's my first time.
But why do you look so familiar?
I hear that often because I look very ordinary.
His face is ordinary, but his personality is unique.
He gets on my nerves.
How can you say that to his face?
Hwang Gwi Ja is the one...
who framed and kicked your mother out for cheating.
She was...
pregnant with you at that time.
My uncle said he will change...
the judges to the ones who favour me.
Actually, I am here to ask...
my father-in-law to do the same for you.
You should get his word for it.
Let's go. See you later, Il Jae.
Yes, Ma'am.
Can you promise that you'll take over...
Dodo Group with Gwang Woo gone?
I will never let you down.
Once you take over Dodo Group,
I will move more quickly, too.
You're a bit late now as it is.
I heard a few presidential candidates are already on the move.
I will help you with all my heart.
Sure.
They are talking as if Dodo Group is theirs.
Does he think I'm his puppet?
I'm on my way to meet your mum.
Yes, don't worry. She'll be released soon.
Soo Yeon!
This is bad.
I'll call you back, Ye Bin.
Ji Hye collapsed.
She had a shock as she was released, so they called an ambulance.
Will Choi Ji Hye die soon?
If she went into coma with that illness, she's as good as dead.
I guess she paid dearly for her boldness.
You are the one who'll pay...
for your wrongdoings, Do Gwang Woo.
Everything will be...
completely over after this trial, right?
Are you finished preparing for the trial?
Yang Dong Yi, Mr Yoon...
and Mr Cho will take...
the responsibilities for your slush fund case.
I knew I could count on you to clean up this mess.
Gi Tan, I heard you were a great help to Director Byun.
This was about you.
It's only natural that I give this my best.
I love your spirit.
If nothing else, I always make sure my allies get good stuff.
Should we go somewhere and have a drink?
I will have that drink after the trial is over.
Wow, look at this man. He's a professional.
Il Jae, I'm starting to really like him. What should I do?
Byun Il Jae, you will soon be in Do Gwang Woo's shoes.
"It took me over a week to get well."
"My heart wasn't hurt because of pain or the beatings."
"My family was suspiciously good to me."
"But..."
- Hi, Ye Bin. - Hello.
Were you reading to Mum?
Doctor said that she can hear everything.
He said that I should keep talking to her.
You're such a good girl, Ye Bin.
Aren't you sleepy?
I am, but I want to stay with Mum.
You should sleep, though.
Go and sleep. You can come and see her tomorrow.
Fine.
Right, this is for you. I found this in her clothes.
(Dear Soo Yeon)
I'm going to go sleep.
Good night, Ye Bin.
Why won't you answer your phone?
What brings you here so late?
I thought you would want to know this.
Aren't you going to ask?
Ji Hye is listening. Let's go outside.
Choi Ji Hye.
Tomorrow is the trial for Do Gwang Woo, the CEO of Dodo Group.
You know him, right? It's that bad guy.
People think that he is on trial only for his slush fund,
but the trial will reveal...
that T9 is carcinogenic.
We found...
Ye Bin's father, Congressman Park Soo Jong's phone.
T9 production will be discontinued.
This is all thanks...
to someone brave like you.
So you must get up...
and watch those bad guys pay for their wrongdoings.
You did well.
You did very well.
(Oh Soo Yeon)
Did you really find Congressman Park's phone?
Why? Are you going to report me as a whistleblower?
You can do that if you want. It'll help you...
get a promotion.
Why did you do that?
Just because. You know?
I hate seeing bad guys live well.
That's why I did this.
This is bad.
Why?
How can you be so cool?
My gosh, you're too cool.
What will I do with you?
You aren't so bad yourself.
- What about me? - I heard you found evidence...
to prove Choi Ji Hye's innocence.
I did that to relieve my conscience.
You're a good kid, Oh Soo Yeon.
Okay. I guess this is between a cool guy and a good girl.
You still speak like a dude.
Yes, Gun Woo.
- What are you doing? - I'm drinking.
Are you drinking by yourself? Should I join you?
I'm with Gi Tan.
What's up?
Hey,
did you print out expected questions which the prosecution may ask?
- Yes, roughly. - Roughly?
Are you out drinking after roughly doing your work?
What gives you the right to order me around?
I'm saying this because I may get in trouble because of you!
Forget it. Goodbye.
It looks like Gun Woo cares about you.
He just called you late at night.
He called to ask if I printed out expected questions for tomorrow.
But I made up some stupid questions.
I want Do Gwang Woo to rot in jail.
Cheers.
The house is huge, isn't it?
The house is nice, but it doesn't feel like a home, does it?
I can't really tell.
What are you two doing here?
Director Byun told us to brief and aid you during the trial.
I don't need your aid. It is already game over.
Where's my father?
You don't have to see him before you leave.
He just left for court.
The prosecutor will definitely ask you this question.
- Which question? - The third one.
Oh, that one?
Let's have a look.
How should I answer that question?
Sir, could you please put your arm down?
What perfume do you wear?
I don't wear perfume.
Why do you smell so good, then?
What do you wash your hair with?
Just soap.
I see. Sit a little closer.
Come on, sit closer to me.
Let's have a look.
Oh dear, Sir! Are you all right?
- My thigh... - Sir, I'm sorry!
Drive properly, will you? Do you want to die?
Sorry, Sir.
(Courthouse)
Prosecutor Kang. So...
are you ready to get a conviction?
You bet we are. Once we play the video in court,
he'll rot at least five years behind bars.
T9 caused a few deaths,
so he will be called a murderer forever.
Did you talk to Congressman Hwang?
In the next general election, you'll be voted in as a prosecutor...
who made a corrupt business pay.
Thank you.
Mr Do will be here soon.
Okay.
- He's here! - Here he is!
Are you innocent?
You had a lot of money stashed away!
What does T9 have to do with your funds?
How much did you hide?
Can you look over here?
- Any comments? - Look over here!
- Quiet! - Could you...
I'll say just one thing.
If I'm found guilty in today's trial,
then I'll give you all my assets.
Do you mean you're innocent?
- Please! - Tell us more!
I haven't seen you without a wig in a while.
Do you feel better now?
The trial will begin soon.
See how it goes.
Yes, Sir.
Bok Shin.
Whether Gwang Woo is sentenced to 10 or 100 years in jail,
I don't care.
If T9 is actually a carcinogen,
and if it caused multiple deaths,
then Dodo Group...
will be ruined.
Since you became the CEO of Dodo Chemicals in 2007,
you helped the defendant accumulate a slush fund.
Is that true?
I admit to stealing funds,
but it had nothing to do with the defendant.
Dodo Chemicals paid you royalties since the technical partnership.
Yes.
You gave over half the royalties you received since 2007...
to the defendant.
I did not.
Your uncle owns a building worth 14 million dollars.
- Yes. - It's actually yours,
and you bought it by managing the defendant's slush fund.
The money I manage...
is not the defendant's slush fund.
What does that mean?
Dodo Chemicals' CEO introduced you to Masung Chemicals' CEO,
who in turn introduced you to Yang Dong Yi.
Is that true?
Is it wrong to have people introduce you to others?
They all said I'm not involved. They did the stealing without me.
Am I the only one who heard that?
Am I hearing things?
Answer yes or no.
How can I do that when I'm getting frustrated?
You're turning an innocent man into a huge criminal.
That's all, Your Honour.
Wait. I have more to say.
If I were to sue the prosecution for defamation...
Defendant, return to your seat.
- Was that all right? - Good.
The defendant and all the witnesses are lying.
What did you say?
This phone belonged to Congressman Park Soo Jong who died of...
a heart attack on February 17.
On it is a video that reveals everything the defendant did.
Is he talking about Kang Yong Deok's testimony?
Why does the prosecution have it?
Your Honour, I request permission to play the video here in court.
Your Honour.
We did not agree to have that admitted as evidence.
I got my hands on this while arresting Yang Dong Yi.
I accept it as evidence.
He looks really scared.
(Courthouse)
The man in the video is Kang Yong Deok, who was...
a researcher at Dodo Chemicals.
According to his testimony,
the defendant knew that T9 caused cancer,
but to increase his slush fund,
he doctored the test results and covered it up.
I shall play the video.
What's going on?
There's nothing on it.
What happened?
- Is it broken? - What is it?
- Is that right? - What happened?
Nothing's on the screen.
- It's empty. - What's he doing?
What happened?
Hang on.
There's nothing.
Someone deleted the video.
Who could've done that?
The video that's saved on the phone...
Delete it.
Do you want cash...
or bearer bonds?
Bearer bonds would be safer.
(Delete)
(Empty trash)
The back-up files on the computer are gone, too.
Do you have copies of the video?
I apologise. I request a recess.
We shall resume at 2:30pm today.
What happened?
Where is the video?
I think someone...
- broke into my office. - What now, then?
Do we have to sit and watch Gwang Woo...
get away with all this?
By the time you read this letter,
I might already be dead.
Soo Yeon.
If something happens to me,
I need you to reveal the truth behind T9...
that I wasn't able to.
I need your help to prevent more children ending up...
with Ye Bin's illness.
Everything I found out about T9...
are saved on my laptop.
I'm sorry to leave you with such a huge burden.
Soo Yeon.
I beg you.
You want to be a witness?
I'm the only other person who saw the video!
You know it's not enough to win.
Are you giving up getting your revenge to ruin Do Gwang Woo?
A witness?
Other than you,
I'm the only one who knows everything about Gwang Woo.
Are you planning to give up your claim on Dodo Group?
How about I become a witness?
Maybe I should...
reveal his wrongdoings.
I'm in no mood for a joke.
Your worse fear is to lose your job.
I know how you feel,
but taking the stand could get you in trouble.
(Autopsy Agreement)
- Who are you? - I have something to tell you.
If you need representation, find an attorney.
I have evidence.
Prosecution.
Do you have any more evidence?
If not, we shall take a break before I announce the sentence.
Your Honour.
I would like to summon Oh Soo Yeon as a last-minute witness.
Oh Soo Yeon?
(Last-minute Witness: An unplanned witness summoned during trial)
Oh Soo Yeon?
Why is she their witness?
Is she crazy?
Oh Soo Yeon volunteered herself?
Yes. She has some incriminating evidence.
Your Honour.
Her name never came up in the investigation.
Miss Oh is a current employee of Dodo Group.
Please understand that it took her great courage...
to become the whistleblower.
I accept the witness.
Miss Oh Soo Yeon.
Take the oath.
That little...
Calm down.
That little...
Upon my conscience,
I will not add or subtract...
from the truth.
If I lie,
I accept the full penalty of perjury. In this I swear.
Prosecution, question the witness.
Soo Yeon, you said you witnessed the defendant's corruption.
Yes.
Hey! How dare you lie in court?
What did you see me do?
Defendant, be quiet.
What did you witness?
The day Kang Yong Deok died,
I overheard a conversation between the defendant...
and Yang Dong Yi.
To hide the fact that T9 causes cancer,
they killed Kang Yong Deok and Congressman Park,
They also said...
they were making money through T9 sales.
- Shut your mouth! - Defendant.
If you interrupt once more, I shall have you removed from court.
Il Jae, please say something.
I object.
That is the witness' opinion.
It cannot be proven.
On my phone...
is a video I took of their conversation.
I enter the witness' phone as evidence.
Take that back. Rescind your statement.
Sir.
Yes.
I'm your boss. I pay your salary.
So why? Why?
Remove the defendant from court.
Oh Soo Yeon.
Do you think you can get away with betraying me?
Are you threatening the witness?
Get him out of here.
Wait.
Your Honour, I really want...
the defendant to remain in court.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
There's something...
you need to hear.
Make the defendant sit down.
I know of a mother and daughter...
who is suffering from cancer due to T9.
The mother took on a huge company to reveal the truth...
and kept on fighting.
She taught me courage.
The girl who is fighting...
the deadly illness, not knowing what caused it...
or why she should suffer,
made me realise what it means to be ashamed.
You called me a betrayer.
Yes. I'm a betrayer.
For fear of losing my job,
even though I knew that T9 caused cancer,
I didn't tell the public who use Dodo Group's products.
I betrayed them.
But, Sir.
Without the public,
there is no Dodo Group.
In your commercial,
you said you are an honest and trustworthy company.
Is it that hard to do so?
Dodo Group is the greatest company in Korea.
Did you have to shatter the pride your employees had?
Did you have to put your profit first,
regardless of the lives you took away?
(Monster)
I found the chairman's son.
I suspect Do Gun Woo more than Kang Gi Tan.
Find out if it's Byun Il Jae.
Do you think Director Byun is behind everything?
Moon Tae Gwang's too late.
They might make contact with the chairman, so watch them.
Hello. Good morning.
You need to find a better target.
