Why Her? (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

1
(This is a work of fiction. All
characters, places, incidents, )
(and organizations portrayed
in this drama are fictitious.)
If you don't know where you
are, tell me what you see.
I can find you. Just tell me what you see.
Hi, Chan.
It's about Professor Oh.
Do you know where she is?
Where is Professor Oh now?
Why? Did something happen?
I heard something explode while on
the phone with her. I must hurry.
She's in danger now.
Seokpo Fishing Spot.
She went to Seokpo Fishing
Spot to meet Hong Seok Pal.
I'm calling from Seokpo Fishing Spot.
A car just exploded and caught fire.
Someone's been hurt. There's
a chance that he's dead.
(Episode 7)
Hong Seok Pal's car just
exploded at Seokpo Fishing Spot.
It's highly likely that he's dead.
Look into it.
What is this?
Let's go there and find out.
(For now, Hong Seok Pal
is the prime suspect.)
It looks like a fire broke out over there.
Please make a U-turn.
- What?
- I must follow that car.
Hurry. Make a U-turn now.
Gosh, what is going on?
I'll drive. Get out of the car.
How did you find me here?
You look like you're about to faint.
Come on. Get out.
Hey! Do you think you own this road?
Are you not hurt? Are you all right?
My gosh, Ms. Oh. Why
didn't you pick up earlier?
I'm headed to the fishing spot now too.
Anyway, why did Hong Seok
Pal's car suddenly explode?
But before that, are you all right?
Yes, I'm okay.
No. I'm on my way home now.
Yes. He contacted me
first, asking to meet up.
That's why I went there, but
his car suddenly exploded.
How are we going to put
together a list of suspects?
Is there anyone in
particular that you suspect?
Hong Seok Pal.
Who's Hong Seok Pal?
The owner of the hostess
bar Park So Young worked at.
What? Really?
I watched all the videos that
people took at the scene that day.
Don't you remember seeing him elsewhere?
Oh, he's that guy!
My gosh.
So he broke into Professor Oh's building
and stole Park So Young's phone?
He owns the hostess bar
where Park So Young worked
and had something to do with her death.
That's why he stole her phone.
Okay. He must've stolen
Park So Young's phone
because something on that phone
could put him at a disadvantage.
But why did that man, Hong Seok Pal,
break into Professor Oh's building?
He's not connected to
Professor Oh in any way.
I bet it was because of
that USB flash drive.
It contains Hansu Group's top-secret files.
Rumour has it that Hong
Seok Pal has been working
for Chairman Han as his henchman
who does his dirty work.
I see. Hansu must've ordered
him to bring it to them.
That would be the most logical guess,
but he's working for
TK Law Firm, not Hansu.
What?
Choi Ju Wan, TK's managing partner.
What? So these people
were all involved in it?
Darn, I can't believe he is the
managing partner of the firm.
That crazy scumbag.
We'll deal with the breaking
and entering case later.
Let's identify the murder suspect first.
That's more urgent.
If Hong Seok Pal indeed
killed Park So Young
You know, that thing. The
prenatal paternity test.
It might have had something to do with it.
The fact that she got a
prenatal paternity test done
means the man denied being
the father of her baby,
which tells us that the pregnancy
made him very uncomfortable.
Bingo.
And it tells us that there's
a high chance that he was
one of her customers at
the bar or her sugar daddy.
Someone who would take a
big hit if word got out.
For example,
the VVIPs at the hostess bar.
You know everything, don't you?
Anyway, who are the VVIPs?
Han Sung Bum, the chairman of Hansu Group.
"Together for Our Future".
Assemblyman Lee In Soo.
And the last one is
Choi Tae Guk, the chairman of TK Law Firm.
But that's too much of a
stretch, don't you think?
The head of a conglomerate,
a law firm chairman, and a
presidential candidate
ordered a hostess bar owner
to kill a girl who worked there?
Okay, let's say that's true.
But they chose to do it
in TK's rooftop garden?
Don't you think this theory
is a little too far-fetched?
Exactly. Why there, of all places?
I mean, it'd make them uncomfortable.
Hong Seok Pal had the means to
track her down in real time.
He must've followed her, knowing
that she was headed to TK.
So he followed her all the way there.
Then for some reason
He ended up pushing her?
Well, it's not impossible.
Maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
Or maybe they got into a fight.
We should keep an open
mind to all possibilities.
Hong Seok Pal and the
VVIPs at the hostess bar.
You may find this information helpful.
Rumour has it that Park So Young
and Chairman Han were quite close.
People in that industry say so.
That's gross.
But I'll start at the clinic
where Park So Young used to go.
- My belly is getting so big.
- I'm sure
she mentioned something
about the father of the baby.
Jin Myung, do you like iced vanilla lattes?
I'll find out what
Chairman Han was up to
the night Park So Young died.
I still have my sources.
Who ordered fried chicken?
- Did you order this?
- We didn't order fried chicken.
Then Chun Poong and I will
look into Hong Seok Pal.
I'm a good actor, you know.
You can totally count on me, Chan.
(Seokpo Fishing Spot)
(Legal Clinic Center)
I heard it from the coordinator
at Park So Young's OB-GYN clinic.
She said the father of
the baby was super rich.
Park So Young took a cab in
front of the hostess bar.
And I confirmed that
Hong Seok Pal took his car
to follow her soon after.
For now, Hong Seok Pal
is the prime suspect.
It was Hong Seok Pal.
The person who broke into
your building and hurt you.
The one who stole Park So Young's
phone at her sister's place.
It was all him.
I know.
He visited the firm a few days ago.
He said he had something
to say about Park So Young.
He caused a scene and insisted that
he must meet with Chairman Choi,
but he was forced to leave.
Something about Park So Young?
I gave him my business
card when I ran into him,
implying that he could call me if
he had anything to say about her.
Then he called me.
"Park So Young. What if I killed her?"
"What?"
When I got there, I saw Hong Seok Pal
sitting in the driver's seat.
As I was walking toward him, he
suddenly collapsed to the side.
It was so sudden that
I couldn't do anything.
Does it mean he took his own life?
Because he felt a pang of guilt
about killing Park So Young?
I'm not sure.
Why? Did what I just said
get your attention now?
I get it. You're partially responsible
for the way she died.
What are you talking about?
Come find me at Seokpo Fishing Spot now.
Does it make sense that he said this
when he was planning his suicide?
He said you were partially responsible.
So maybe, he was trying to
deliberately put you in danger too?
I'm talking about the car explosion.
You could've gotten hurt too.
What if he didn't kill himself?
Just like Park So Young,
what if it's murder disguised as suicide?
You should get going. It's getting late.
My housekeeper put it there,
but I don't have a green thumb.
You should really get going now. I'm fine.
You have a big couch.
What?
What are you doing here?
I need to get some sleep.
What?
I'm tired. I need to sleep.
What? If you're doing this
because you're worried about me,
you can just go home. I'm really okay now.
One moment.
What's he doing?
She has such a nice bed. Why
would she be cold in this room?
Let me borrow this blanket. I'm cold.
Hey, I'm really fine. You can go home.
If he indeed took his own life,
he probably blew up his own
car to hurt Professor Oh too.
But if it's murder disguised as suicide
Who did it? And why?
Why deliberately endanger Professor Oh?
No!
Why won't this open?
Who are you?
Professor Oh.
Are you all right?
Professor Oh.
It was a dream.
Who could it be?
Who? And why?
Why me?
Why? Just why?
Why hide just to cry? It's lame.
Why are you sitting next to
me if you think I'm lame?
Because I know that you're cool.
You just said I was lame.
We all have
more than one side.
There could be dozens No, hundreds.
So having a couple of lame
sides really isn't a big deal.
You're still cool.
Cool, my foot.
So
just bawl your eyes out
when you want to cry
and say that you're not
okay when you're stressed.
Even if you do that, it won't
change how cool you are.
When I barely manage to get over a hurdle,
there's another one waiting for me.
And another one.
It makes me angry.
I'm so angry at my life.
How could this happen?
How could this be?
I'm scared too.
I'm scared and exhausted too.
(Hyundae Snack Bar, Recreational Boats)
(Police)
- I'm going in.
- Kang Ja!
Detective Do.
Have you found anything?
Everything is scorched.
We'll keep investigating.
(Butane)
I don't want you to be part of this.
Why? I guess someone I know
is on your list of suspects?
He's working for TK Law Firm, not Hansu.
Choi Ju Wan, TK's managing partner.
For example, the VVIPs at the hostess bar.
The chairman of TK Law Firm.
Choi Tae Guk.
Eat and sleep well.
And don't get hurt no matter what happens.
Both physically and emotionally.
Don't get hurt.
Whatever happens, you have me by your side.
Next news.
Hong, known as the king of
hostess bars in Gangnam,
died in a car explosion at
an abandoned fishing spot.
Hong operated
several hostess bars all over Gangnam.
What was Soo Jae doing there?
Ms. Oh's vehicle heading
to the fishing spot
was caught on a security camera nearby.
And after the explosion, her
vehicle was spotted leaving too.
Maybe, she took the same road.
It could be a coincidence.
Right.
I found it odd that Ms. Oh was
there when he committed suicide,
so I looked into this.
And the last person Hong Seok Pal
talked on the phone with was Ms. Oh.
Who called whom?
Did you check that?
It was Hong Seok Pal.
They could have arranged a
meeting at the fishing spot.
I believe Ms. Oh knew something
when she headed there.
Anyway, Hong Seok Pal is dead.
And we will have to
interview Ms. Oh for a statement.
You should if you need to.
- By the way, Chief Kang, - Yes?
Try not to look too happy.
Hong Seok Pal took great care of you.
Everyone in your industry knows that.
And I can tell you're happy
that it will never come out.
Gosh, no. That's not true.
He never did no such thing for me.
I just thought that Ms. Oh might
be questioned by the police.
So I wanted to give you a heads-up.
Okay. Let's stop here today.
I have a meeting.
I see. Yes, sir.
How come you didn't answer my calls?
(Gong Chan)
Were you with Soo Jae all night?
I checked the group chatroom.
They all went to the fishing spot.
You were quiet, and I
couldn't reach her either.
Were you with her?
Yes.
How is she?
She's not okay.
How could she be?
I'm the one who should be angry.
Why do you sound mad?
- Why should you be angry?
- Do you have to ask?
Do you think you're the only
one who's worried about her?
You know,
it infuriates me that she was
all alone during the explosion.
You must know since you
heard the recording.
So it makes me so angry that
she was all alone there.
Then why are you so angry?
Don't tell me
you're angry because she
was with me the whole night.
Is that why you're angry?
Yes.
It infuriates me that
she called you instead of
me when she was in danger.
And I told her not to do
that, but she still
called you again.
It's driving me mad.
And let me make this very clear.
You'd better not suspect my father
and my brother without proof.
I might hate them,
but I won't let you accuse them falsely.
You're suspecting them too. Aren't you?
You're trying your best to prove
that they are innocent, right?
I never suspected them.
I'm not trying to prove their innocence.
That sad suspect list.
You should drop it before
you get humiliated.
There's nothing you can do now.
Hong Seok Pal said he killed Park So Young.
I'll look into it.
Hong Seok Pal said he pushed Park So Young,
but I must check if that was true.
Then I'll check if it was his decision
or if someone ordered him to do so.
I'll find out if Hong Seok
Pal really killed himself.
I'll check if Park So Young's
killer murdered him too.
I'll check if those people
on my sad suspect list
are relevant to this case.
I told you to stop!
Fine. Suit yourself.
Suspect my father
and my brother without any proof.
Do it all the way.
I plan on it.
When I take it all the way,
I will cross paths with you at one point.
It's obvious that you're
worried about this.
"Don't suspect my father and
my brother without proof"?
Who are his father and brother?
Do we know them? Who are they?
Oh, my gosh.
Choi Yoon Sang.
Choi Ju Wan. Choi Tae Guk.
Is he Choi Tae Guk's son?
- No way.
- No wonder!
When we were talking the
other day, he was a bit off.
Right.
That explains it. Gosh.
How am I going to face him now?
Nothing's going to change.
We'll treat him the same.
But where were you last night?
You didn't even answer your phone.
I was on the phone with Professor
Oh right after the explosion.
So I went to the fishing spot.
We met around the fishing
spot, and I drove her home.
What did she say? Why did
Hong Seok Pal want to meet?
She doesn't know that either.
He called Professor Oh out of the blue.
And he confessed that
he killed Park So Young.
After setting up a meeting with her,
he died in the car explosion.
Something doesn't add up.
Something's off.
He might not have committed suicide.
Sir, the lawyer you talked about is here.
And she looks really scary.
Let's have some tea.
So based on what you told us,
Hong Seok Pal must have lied on the phone.
Why would he do that?
We should find out
if he was telling the truth or not.
And if Hong Seok Pal is
indeed Park So Young's killer.
And if Professor Oh is
responsible for her death.
She must have a dashcam in her car. Right?
This is the memory card for my dashcam.
It has the sudden explosion
and fire after my arrival.
Someone could have installed a bomb.
A bomb?
You might be able to find out
if you tap into your network.
Did someone install it
to kill Hong Seok Pal?
Or did Hong Seok Pal install
it on his own to kill himself?
Gosh. But how did you find me here?
I went off the grid, so
no one could find me here.
You talked about this place once.
You said this was your
hometown for your soul.
Gosh. I should blame my big mouth.
I should have called you.
But after Mr. Ha came by,
I had a lot on my mind.
Ms. Oh, now that I'm getting older,
I easily get scared and
have become a coward.
I'm sorry.
Are you really sorry?
What? Yes. I'm really sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Then use that feeling to do a thorough job.
Okay. I will.
I think something bad is
going to happen to me soon.
How much progress did the police make?
They raided Hong Seok
Pal's bar and his house.
It looks like they're considering
it to be a suicide case.
Did you hear if they found
anything during the search?
I asked a reporter. And the
police put an embargo on it.
I do think there's something.
Okay.
There can't be anything.
Spare me two minutes.
I'm sorry, sir.
It's fine. Let's continue this later.
What's this about?
(Hong Seok Pal died last night.
Oh Soo Jae was at the scene.)
(Hong Seok Pal died last night.
Oh Soo Jae was at the scene.)
That's why I'm here.
Something bad is going
to happen to me soon.
(Smile Art Supplies)
Eun Seo.
I'm here.
Yoon Se Pil.
Aren't you cold?
Let me wrap this around you.
What's wrong?
No, Eun Seo. It's okay.
Anybody around? We need
some help over here. Help!
- Eun Seo, it's okay.
- Are you all right, Eun Seo?
We'll take you inside.
It's okay. Take a deep breath.
I forgot for a moment.
I guess Eun Seo still needs more time.
Let's just be thankful that she's alive.
And she started painting again.
The high-impact car accident
caused severe bleeding in the cerebrum.
We've drained the haemorrhage,
but she could experience
neurological problems.
Also, we suspect that she was
sexually assaulted as well.
I must make them pay.
For everything they did,
but one thing at a time.
They'll get it all back.
(Barbershop)
I have something important today.
I'll take great care of you, sir.
You see, there are fools who think
that they own what I gave them.
They don't know that it'll all
be gone the moment they lose me.
Those morons.
They think they're important now.
I know. This world is
filled with such fools.
(Oh Soo Jae)
Hey, take a seat.
It's very fresh today. Try it.
It's even fresher than the last time.
Thank you, sir.
Shall I put on some music, sir?
No need. Today is such a
happy day, even without music.
It's a happy day for you.
That nuisance, Hong Seok Pal, is now dead.
I bet you're especially happy about that.
What was the thing I had last time?
Right. Grilled snapper head.
It was really good.
I'll prepare it for you, sir.
He died because of you.
Because you've been running
around cleaning up the mess.
You know that he died because of you.
Soo Jae.
How much do you think
you can protect yourself?
He is using Hong Seok Pal as bait
I am the one protecting you.
I saved you.
Because he wants to hurt me.
Hong Seok Pal died because of you,
and you ordered him to kill Park So Young.
Chief Kang said the police
would have to investigate you.
We're celebrating For Our Future
Forum's anniversary tomorrow.
I'll arrange everything for you,
so attend the event tomorrow.
It was created to help Assemblyman
Lee get elected as President.
But technically, I was the
one who founded the forum.
It was founded two years ago.
You suddenly want me to join?
Is this what I get for
demanding 70 million dollars?
Don't you know what kind of
people are attending the forum?
I'm giving you a chance
to join the most powerful
bunch in my inner circle.
Once you join them, no
one can mess with you.
That includes Chief Kang, of course.
I'm suggesting this for your own sake.
What is the funnest ocean fish to catch?
Do you know?
When I was little, I went
fishing with my dad often.
In my experience, the black
porgy was the best one.
The moment you feel the bite,
it starts pulling, and
it's incredibly strong.
It's so strong that even your
fishing rod gets dragged away.
I lost my fishing rod in a
flash, so I was upset about it.
But that moment, the
boat captain said this.
"The one who throws bait"
"doesn't necessarily have the upper hand."
"It even took your fishing
rod away from you,"
"so it beat you."
The fish beat you because it took
the bait and the fishing rod too?
That is not true, Soo Jae. How long
do you think the fish held out?
A day at the most.
When you think you've bitten the bait,
you should let the fisherman reel
you in, so you won't be hurt.
If you try to wriggle your way out,
the hook will rip your
mouth, and you'll be hurt.
Make sure you attend the event.
It'll lead you to better things.
I politely decline.
You see, that bait
I won't bite it.
(Gong Chan)
Hey.
Check out the waxing gibbous moon.
What?
And next to it, I see Jupiter too.
Jupiter?
Where is Jupiter?
The small sparkling star next to the moon.
That's Jupiter. You didn't know?
How ignorant.
I've never been called ignorant before.
Anyway, where are you now?
I'm delivering something
while admiring Jupiter.
Delivering what?
A healthy dinner.
I left it in front of your door.
You're here now? Are you in the lobby?
I wanted to see you and
give it to you in person,
but you should go to
bed, so I'm just leaving.
Bye.
(Gong Chan)
Make sure you eat all of
it before you wash up.
Don't worry about anything.
Just sleep well.
See you tomorrow at school,
with smiles on our faces.
The detectives are here.
They came here because
they couldn't reach you.
I get that you couldn't reach her,
but you can't just barge in here.
You know that you're overreacting, right?
Gosh, seriously. It's not
like I wanted to come here.
Are you here to see me?
Detective Do Jin Myung,
Jungang Police Station.
Why didn't you answer your phone?
We came all the way here
because you didn't pick up.
You'll have to come with
us for a witness interview.
You're probably here because
of Hong Seok Pal's death.
If you're suspecting me because I
was at the scene, I can explain it.
He wanted to meet, so I went there.
But his car suddenly exploded,
so I called 911 and left.
I'm sure you already
checked his call log
as well as the recording of
the call between me and 911.
Yet you came here in such a rush
just to interview a witness?
It's a little over the
top, don't you think?
Like you said, you spoke
with him just before he died.
You were at the scene, and you called 911.
We found Hong Seok Pal's
phone in his office.
We found a recording of the
last phone call he made.
Park So Young. What if I killed her?
- What?
- Why? Did what I just said
get your attention now?
I get it. You're partially responsible
for the way she died.
You clearly had something to do
with Hong Seok Pal's death
and Park So Young's death too.
We have many questions for you,
so you'll have to come with us.
You're asking her to go
to the station with you?
You don't have an arrest warrant.
She's a witness, not a suspect.
You can't take her to the
station without her permission.
Kid.
We'll decide if she's
a witness or a suspect.
Hold on. A suspect?
Did you just call our professor a suspect?
Will you take responsibility
for what you just said?
I'm going to start recording now. Okay?
Right. We're going to film you now.
You'd better take
responsibility for this later.
Calm down.
Hong Seok Pal died because of you.
Chief Kang said the police
would have to investigate you.
So
did your chief order you to bring me in?
Yes, chief.
Yes. Okay.
Ms. Oh, you're under arrest.
What? You have no grounds to arrest her.
She's a law professor.
Why are you arresting her?
This is an abuse of authority.
Article 213 of the Criminal Code.
Abuse of authority and hindrance
to the exercise of rights.
Article 214. Abuse of
authority and unlawful arrest!
Ms. Oh, you're under arrest
for instigating to murder Park So Young
and aiding and abetting Hong
Seok Pal's suicide. Understood?
What nonsense is that?
Detective Do, what is this?
You have the right to an attorney.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can be
used against you in court.
I'm sure you all know that.
Professor Oh.
When you think you've bitten the bait,
you should let the fisherman reel
you in, so you won't be hurt.
If you try to wriggle your way out,
the hook will rip your
mouth, and you'll be hurt.
He was more impatient than I thought.
Right?
So you're arresting me without a warrant.
You're sure you'll meet the conditions
to grant you a lawful arrest?
You must think that we
don't follow any protocol.
We have probable cause
A warrantless arrest.
There's a risk of getting evaluated
if your arrest was
lawful or not afterwards.
So you will face the consequences, right?
With your job on the line.
My gosh. Arresting a
lawyer is such a hassle.
Why don't we go quietly?
- Detective Shin. Detective Do!
- You can't Professor Oh!
- Hold on.
- Song Mi Rim.
I want you to represent me.
Yes. I'll do it. I'll be your lawyer.
I don't want
any of you to leave school.
At least remove the handcuffs.
It's not like she's going to flee.
And this is our school.
At least show her some respect.
Let's go.
Wait.
Do you have a warrant?
Are you sure it meets the
conditions for a warrantless arrest?
How could you put
handcuffs on her at school?
- Have you lost your mind?
- Let's go.
Wait.
Water my plant.
Move out of the way. Let's go.
(Jungang Police Station)
- Do you admit instigating murder?
- Do you admit
aiding and abetting
Hong Seok Pal's suicide?
Why did you have her killed?
Is it true you told Hong Seok
Pal to kill Park So Young?
You showed no sense of remorse
when Park So Young died.
How do you feel now?
You still feel no remorse?
Not at all.
- What?
- Step out of the way.
Next news.
Lawyer Oh Soo Jae of TK Law Firm
was in the limelight
when Park So Young died.
And she was arrested for instigating
to murder Park So Young
and aiding and abetting
Hong Seok Pal's suicide
without a warrant.
- What? What nonsense is that?
- Lawyer Oh Soo Jae
was considered to be a managing
partner at TK Law Firm.
She was a star lawyer at TK Law Firm.
- What is this?
- It's been disclosed that
she had instigated Hong Seok
Pal to murder Park So Young
by pushing her off the TK building.
And this discovery sent
shock waves to the public.
Father.
You knew about this, right?
You knew about Soo Jae's arrest, right?
Get her out right now.
Tell them to release her now!
Why did you do it?
- I was bored.
- What did she tell you to find?
You must have hidden something there.
Behind that weird button.
Nice. Getting paper-slapped
made me come to my senses.
Stop beating people up.
What if you end up killing them?
You're lucky that you're my son.
If you weren't,
you wouldn't be standing here.
Father. There had never been a moment
I felt lucky that you were
my father in my entire life!
Father, why is Soo Jae
But there must have been a moment
when you felt lucky to be his son.
When I was a high school senior,
Mom collapsed because of
that big mess you made!
I remember how Father cleaned
up all that mess for you.
What are you talking about?
Mom passed away five
days after her collapse.
So I wasn't even interested
in the mess you created.
Did you feel lucky to be his son?
- You jerk.
- Choi Yoon Sang!
Yes! I'm leaving.
I'll go and get her out no matter what.
You're only allowed to do two
things when you leave this office.
Stay out of Soo Jae's case completely.
And come back home.
They are worried that
the sell-off might not go
through because of Soo Jae.
Chief Legal Officer Han
has been calling me too.
You.
Don't miss this chance in her absence.
Take back what's ours.
Father, is that why
Is that why you didn't stop
them from arresting Soo Jae?
You're not going to question her?
The chief wanted to question
her, so he told us to wait.
Is she that important? Even
the chief is coming down?
Gosh. Did she hear us or what?
Why is she smiling at us?
Seriously. Is she really
crazy or something?
Gosh. The passcode.
I should have asked her that.
- What do we do?
- Should we ask her friend?
- Dr. Chae Jun Hee.
- Right.
Ms. Song, I wanted to call you.
Soo Jae is not answering her phone.
Jun Hee, I'm in a hurry.
Do you know Ms. Oh's passcode to her house?
I see.
Why would she pick such an easy passcode?
Chan.
My housekeeper put it there,
but I don't have a green thumb.
The house is under the company's name.
And I'm the one who gave her the keys.
Ms. Song. Where are you?
Jun Hee, I'm right here.
- Is she okay?
- Yes, she's okay.
My goodness.
Mr. Choi?
People said TK Law Firm was
an incredible law firm
where everyone dreamed of working.
So I had high hopes.
And it makes me concerned
about my professor's mental well-being
for having to put up with a jerk like you.
A jerk like me?
Yes. You heard me.
Come to think of it,
this doesn't make sense.
You could have gotten Ms. Song to do it.
But you came here
with a locksmith.
- Really?
- Yes.
People might think that
you're here to steal things.
Do I need to explain my actions to you?
And didn't you know
that the company provided housing for her?
Does it mean you can just pick
the lock and barge in here?
I guess that's normal for TK Law Firm.
Since you're providing housing for her,
you can come in here whenever you want?
Is that it?
Where is her room?
Can you go and watch him?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Did you find it? Are you leaving now?
Ms. Oh.
I refuse to answer any questions
until my lawyer gets here.
When will your lawyer get here?
Sorry.
Sorry.
I had to water the plant.
Let's begin.
I
killed Park So Young
for Oh Soo Jae from TK Law Firm.
The person who pushed Park So Young
off the rooftop of the TK building
was me.
Hong Seok Pal.
Hey.
Who do you think you are? You
think you can boss me around?
Park So Young won't get away with this.
Do you really want to end up in prison?
You have several hostess bars in Gangnam.
I can make sure all of them go under.
Do your kids know
how their father is coming
up with their tuition abroad?
Hey, you'd better leave
my kids out of this.
If you get my kids involved in this,
I'm going to kill you! Got that?
So think carefully about
how you're going to get
rid of Park So Young.
Get rid of her?
Why would I do that?
Do what you guys are good at.
You can bury people
without leaving a trace.
Oh Soo Jae blackmailed me
because of Assemblyman An Kang Won.
She was seeing him.
But he was also involved
with Park So Young.
And this scandal made Oh Soo Jae livid.
So she told me to kill Park So Young.
She said if I didn't kill her,
she would make sure all
of my businesses go under,
and she would torture
my kids.
Do you admit that you ordered Hong
Seok Pal to kill Park So Young?
Ms. Oh.
Let's finish the video.
That's how Oh Soo Jae blackmailed me.
So I had no choice
but to kill Park So Young.
(Detective Cho: I got Hong
Seok Pal's confession video.)
I had nightmares every night.
And I felt so guilty that I
couldn't go on with my life.
So Young. I'm really sorry.
And I would like to offer
my sincere apology
to the bereaved family.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Darn it.
I will meet with Oh Soo Jae
one last time.
And I will commit
suicide
in front of her.
We got it. It's over.
That lowlife, Hong Seok Pal, came here
and talked about Park So Young?
Get him in here right now.
We have cleaners who take
care of dirt bags like him.
Right. Oh Soo Jae can deal with him.
Tell her to crush him.
She will destroy him,
and we should get rid of the cleaner too.
Why? The sell-off hasn't
been finalized yet.
Besides, she's nothing like
that lowlife, Hong Seok Pal.
Whenever I stand here,
I always think
Chairman Choi couldn't
have picked a better seat.
But
Oh Soo Jae has the files on the cruise.
So I don't know
if we have a bright future
ahead of us or a bleak one.
We must unite when
there's work to get done.
That way, I can appoint you to
be the Minister of Justice
when my administration takes over.
Your desire to make me the President.
And your desire to be my stepping stone.
That hasn't changed, right?
Hold on.
Why is this talk getting so serious?
Of course, not.
You meant it when you said
you would do anything
to make me the President, right?
Of course. When have I
not been honest with you?
Gosh. People might think
you're professing love to each other.
Goodness.
This feels weird.
All this for a mere position?
That fool. He thinks
I'm his stepping stone?
He doesn't even know what his role is.
(Autopsy Report, Hong Seok Pal)
(The deceased died in a car explosion.)
I don't see any signs of foul play.
I think he was addicted to drugs.
But it doesn't have a
direct tie to his death.
The causes of death were
asphyxiation from carbon monoxide
and burning.
My opinion is that he committed suicide.
(Establish law and order)
(Corrections)
(Establish law and order)
(Live to repent)
(Why Her?)
- What a mess.
- Those darn reporters.
This is just the beginning.
Harsher words will become the truth,
and they'll think she's the culprit.
The police began searching Oh
Soo Jae's office and house.
- It's gone.
- Yes.
TK Law Firm has nothing to
do with the case in question.
We must find evidence that
Professor Oh is innocent.
You jerks!
Why are you doing this so fast?
You don't know if this is real or fake.
This could be real.
She wouldn't say stuff like that.
I'm sure she's a few moves
ahead even in prison.
Someone who can bring in Hong
Seok Pal to get me involved.
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
I would detain her.
