[Episode 3]
Hey! I just called the police.
Whoever you are, you should probably not do anything crazy.
Shit!
Mr. Do, are you there?
Where are you, Mr. Do?
Mr. Do.
Who was it?
Who did this to you?
You want to know who?
Your husband.
Cha Seong Jae.
Mr. Do. Mr. Do?
Mr. Do, please wake up.
Mr. Do.
Mr. Do, you can't pass out. Wake up right now. [Hide]
It's gun violence this time?
Is it because you were a prosecutor? Cases follow you around constantly.
Even in this quiet town.
Attorney Na?
- Attorney Na. - Yes.
I submitted the dash cam memory card to the officer who came first.
Did you see the culprit's face yourself?
The thing is...
You want to know who?
Your husband, Cha Seong Jae.
Mom.
Yes, Bom?
Can't sleep?
Do you want to sleep with me?
Where I am?
I'm at the hospital.
To work.
Why, asshole? To get an additional statement from the gun violence victim.
Yes, bastard! I'm here to work, I said.
Hang up, man.
Excuse me.
[Do Jin Wu]
Mr. Do did?
No, we haven't talked since yesterday, Lieutenant Baek.
All right.
[46, Haean-ro 4 gil]
46, Haean-ro 4 gil.
Let's meet here.
[Happy Haejeon. Chawoong Welfare Foundation will be there.]
[Redevelopment Area]
You know, about Haean Village...
Our foundation and Geumshin Corporation made a deal
to provide housing to people in need.
Geumshin Corporation?
Yes, we provide temporary housing to the homeless or
elderly people who live alone until the development is finished.
It's Mr. Hwang Tae Su, who lives at the address.
[Housing for Economically Disadvantaged Program Beneficiary]
Do you know Mr. Hwang by chance?
I do. He was enrolled with CEO Cha's recommendation.
CEO Cha's recommendation?
Yes, there were a few like that.
Same with Mr. Oh Yeong Shik.
Is there another issue, by chance?
What do you mean by another issue?
Well, you know Mr. Oh...
He lent his name for an account, but it was used as a burner account.
The police looked for him, and it was a disaster.
A lot of problems tend to happen in Haean Village.
Yes, In Gyu.
Pardon?
That's not true. It says in the front.
Did they finish analyzing the bullet?
Yes, it's a bullet from a rifle.
Since it's a hunting season now,
we're focusing on the boar hunters in the area.
But the license plate number won't come up.
Is it a burner license plate?
Both the witness and victim said they didn't see the culprit's face.
The witness lost her husband a few days ago,
and the victim was a witness in a trial her husband was defending.
Is this about the insurance?
Lieutenant Baek, a report of illegal debt colleciton just came from Chawoong Law Firm.
You take care of it yourself, bastard.
How dare you order me around?
Where was it again?
Move!
Geez, seriously.
You... You can't go in there!
Excuse me! You can't go in there!
Where's the CEO here? Where are they?
Debt collection using violence and threats is illegal.
Who do you think you are? Call the police right now!
I already did.
What?
You need to go to the police station and
get locked up to learn your lesson.
- You bastards- - Wait! Wait!
You'll get in trouble for demanding payment like this.
This is illegal.
Who the hell are you?
Me?
I'm a police officer.
You'll get in big trouble if you do this.
You got robbed last time, and you got ambushed by debt collectors this time.
There won't be any usable office supplies left at this rate.
So, can you catch the thief?
Why does solving a case like that take forever in this small town?
I know.
It's because there are so many sensational cases in this small town.
There's a witness the late CEO Cha worked with
and his name is Do Jin Wu. I wonder if you know him.
What about Mr. Do?
Is he the one who robbed our office, by chance?
Why do you always go back to that?
Yes, Advisor Cha.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
What happened? Where are the debt collectors?
He's famous for a reason. He got rid of them in one go.
Father.
The last few days must've been difficult for you, Mun Yeong.
Not at all.
Have a seat.
We need to take care of what's urgent first.
These are the cases we need to finish this month.
Okay.
And these are the smaller cases.
We can give them to the local bar association.
I understand, sir.
I'm sorry. I should've taken care of them.
How about the debt collectors, by the way?
I agreed to be a guarantor.
I asked the police chief to tighten the security.
So, it should be quiet for a while.
I'm so grateful you two decided to stay at the law firm
Not at all. It was always my intention to stay.
Ms. Go, please sort out the rest.
Yes, I will.
Let's talk for a second.
It looks like collecting Seong Jae's life insurance won't be easy.
Collecting the insurance money isn't my priority.
It's not just about collecting money.
I want us to pay off the debt as soon as possible and go back to normal.
There's no way Seong Jae didn't know.
The insurance plans he signed up for in the last few months...
He must've known they don't cover suicide.
If he was really planning to leave us insurance money,
he would've at least disguised it as an accident.
But he left a suicide note on purpose.
And instead of sending it to me, he sent it to the office as if he wanted everyone to know.
What are you trying to say?
I think he must've had a different purpose for doing all of that.
Although I'm not sure what that is.
What do you mean...
A different purpose?
Mun Yeong, don't poke around for no reason and-
I need to do this.
Why did he sign up for so many insurance plans
and what did he really want?
I'll find out myself.
Mom, the pillow smells like Dad.
You know my dad is a lawyer, right?
I can help you. So...
don't die.
You're not alone.
I won't let you be alone.
I'll stay with you, no matter what happens.
Are you curious?
Geez...
What's happening to this neighborhood lately?
I'll be doing three shifts, including night patrolling. I'm screwed.
Nothing was captured on the CCTVs at the entrance of the townhouse.
No cameras face the building due to privacy concerns.
Check the dash cams of the vehicles parked nearby, too.
Yes, sir.
Is there anything missing in the house?
I'm not so sure.
I mean...
I don't think so.
When you called us after the law firm got broken into,
you said nothing was missing then, too.
Yes.
Trespassing with no intention to steal? And it happened twice, too?
And you also happened to witness a shooting with your husband's old witness.
The debt collectors who barged into the office. Maybe it was them.
Bom, go upstairs.
It wasn't the debt collectors.
The smart Attorney Na Mun Yeong was unaware of the firm's financial situation.
The Attorney Na I know...
would've avoided bankruptcy no matter what.
Right?
I would've stopped it if I had known.
- For now, my father- - I heard.
He promised to pay off the debt as the law firm's founder.
Do you have hidden money somewhere?
An insurance payout, for example?
I mean...
the suicide note was found, but you're insisting it wasn't suicide.
I wonder if it was because of the life insurance.
You can only collect it in its entirety if it was an accident.
There were only the two of you at the scene during the shooting.
By chance, Do Jin Wu happened to be involved again.
If it was a crime of passion,
it had to be an accident rather than suicide to alleviate guilt-
Are you okay?
[See Everything CCTV] If you leave the house often
or have a child, you need to monitor your home in real time.
You can check on the laptop or other devices, too.
Kim Yun Seon.
Do Jin Wu.
Hwang Tae Su.
Dead.
[112*] (Phone number for the Korean police)
Mr. Do Jin Wu?
Give me the key for my motorcycle.
Where's the key?
Why did you have to run away from the hospital?
The one who shot you...
If it really was my husband, why didn't you tell Detective Baek?
Her husband died. Her law firm got broken into.
Her house got broken into. She witnessed a shooting.
What's happening around Attorney Na, anyway?
Where did Do Jin Wu disappear to after getting shot?
Huh? This person...
Do you know him?
It's not that.
He caused a scene a few days ago demanding us to look for some homeless person.
He asked us to look for Hwang Tae Su.
Hwang Tae Su?
[Haejeon Police Station]
How could my dead husband have shot you?
It was dark since it was nighttime.
Isn't it possible that you were mistaken?
I'm not saying I refuse to believe you.
If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have run to meet you that night, either.
And I wouldn't have gone to the address you gave me.
You went there?
Yes.
Hwang Tae Su, who supposedly lives there, wasn't there.
Do you really think Kim Yun Seon died in an accident?
I'll only tell you what I saw.
The accident had already happened when I followed her.
So, why did you follow her?
Because I was worried.
It looked like Chief Ma was going to do something.
Ms. Kim came to find me before she died
and told me Chief Ma was the real culprit of the Haean Village murder.
My husband tried to cover up that murder, and you tried to assist it. Why?
I don't know why, either.
Because Cha Seong Jae asked me, I-
So, that means Chief Ma is linked to my husband's death.
I don't know about complicated stuff like that!
You're not interested in listening to me at all.
Cha Seong Jae.
Your husband isn't dead.
I definitely saw him here.
But why?
Why would my dead husband come back to life and shoot you?
Hwang Tae Su.
Hwang Tae Su?
I've been looking for Tae Su hyung.
Geez, he got drunk again.
- Hyung, do you need help? - Gosh!
Hey, couldn't you make some noise and let me know you were there?
I can't believe he still goes around wearing this.
The foundation is determining who'd stay longer at the housing, but I couldn't reach him.
So I stopped by and found him like this again.
How much did he have to drink, anyway?
By the way, where were you trying to take him?
They won't take him in this state.
I should give him a shot to get him to sober up.
Yes. But at this hour?
Aigoo! Should I just leave him, then?
He's in a worse state than usual today.
Careful. Careful.
What would he have done without you?
Thank you. You can go now.
See you tomorrow, okay?
Hyung.
Hyung, are you in there?
Tae Su!
Open the door if you're in there!
Hyung!
Hwang Tae Su. I'm not seeing that name.
When did he get discharged?
He was never checked into our hospital.
[Daraeul Hospital]
There's no record of someone with that name.
Welcome.
[Makgeolli]
Missing?
Yes.
When was the last time you saw him?
On the 18th.
Hwang Tae Su.
He didn't really have an address before.
Are you sure he didn't just leave because things weren't going well for him?
He wouldn't do that.
He...
wouldn't disappear without telling me.
I'll let you report him as a runaway for now.
Come back if you still can't reach him.
You can leave now.
A person is missing, I said.
I know.
Try to reach him and come back if you can't.
A person is missing, I said.
Sir, you can't do this at the police station.
What the hell are you doing?
Get him out of here.
He didn't run away. He's missing.
He could be even be dead for all we know.
- Let's go. - Let go of me.
Let go!
- What are you doing? Get him out of here. - He's missing, I said.
- That's enough. Leave now. - He's missing!
[Police Station]
Cha Seong Jae and Hwang Tae Su switched.
And I'm aware of it.
So...
to cover that up...
he tried to kill you?
Cha Seong Jae did? My dead husband?
If you can't believe me, try looking for Hwang Tae Su.
See if you end up finding him or Cha Seong Jae.
You'll finally believe me then.
No.
Whenever Seong Jae saw a puppy on the street, he stopped and stared at it.
He's not a terrible person like that. Not to mention how he treated Bom.
There's no way. He'd never shoot anyone-
Did you know...
Cha Seong Jae used to go hunting with Chief Ma?
Don't think you know everything about him.
Don't just hear what you want to hear.
[Outstanding Lawyer Award]
Are you crazy? Are you crazy? Are you in your right mind right now?
I'm completely clear minded right now.
That Cha Seong Jae might not have been the real Cha Seong Jae.
Wake up, Na Mun Yeong.
What did you always used to say as a prosecutor?
"Scientific investigation and DNA don't lie."
You said that yourself. Remember?
I didn't send his toothbrush as a DNA sample. It was his Mother.
Yes, your mother-in-law.
Cha Seong Jae's mother. Why would she-
I know. Why would she?
Let's check just once more.
I'll send the one Seong Jae used to use again.
The DNA sample KCIS collected from the scene-
What? Why did you stop talking?
What is it?
Shin Hwa, I'll call you back in half an hour.
Please call me if I don't call first.
And call the police if I don't answer.
You're trespassing right now.
Leave now.
This won't cut it. I need 6.5 billion.
Your husband took 7 billion from me.
I got 500 million back. So there's 6.5 billion left.
What do you mean...
The money I left with CEO Cha because I trusted him
is all gone.
What did he do to lose all of that money?
A mistress?
Gambling?
He must've been afraid, too.
Because he knew what kind of money that was better than anyone.
I don't know anything about it.
Is it no longer true if you don't know about it?
It's 7 billion.
He took 7 billion, but there's only 500 million?
This is all he left for his family?
You must be pretty naive, Attorney Na.
I'll give you a week.
Pay me back the money your husband squandered.
Excuse me, Chief Ma. You're threatening me right now.
Your daughter should be home soon.
You don't have to worry.
We took care of her since you looked so busy.
Bom!
I'll make sure you all pay for this.
No need to thank me.
We're willing to escort her anytime.
I hope we can meet with a smile in a week.
Unless you want to find out what a real threat is.
Are you okay?
Ms. Na.
Are you okay?
Yes.
Hello, sir.
Bom's kids' cooking class later-
I'm sorry. She'll have to take a break from all classes for now.
What?
I'm sorry. There's a bit of a situation at home.
No need to apologize. It's okay.
After you get things sorted out, we'll later...
Come to the tea party if you can, then.
Okay.
Bom, I'll bring you the cookies later.
Thank you.
Bom, we need to go somewhere.
Where?
Just get in first.
- Put the seatbelt on. - Okay.
Ms. Na.
Feel free to let me know if you need my help.
Thank you.
Thank you, Ms. Ha.
Her daughter is really cute.
Her laughter is so lively...
and very pure.
Should I invite her to our house?
No, you don't have to force her.
I'm sure you'll like it if she comes over.
Feels nice early in the morning, right?
- Would you like to try this? - So, what did you prepare?
- I prepared tennis shoes. - Well, I...
What did you prepare, boss?
Me? As for me...
Okay.
Hello, I'm Freddie!
- We're taking a ship this time. - Yes.
England is an island nation.
England is located to the north-west of mainland Europe.
In England...
We'll sue him immediately.
Trespassing, robbery, threats, and even kidnapping?
How dare he threaten a former prosecutor?
How much is 7 billion exactly?
Illegal fund and money laundering.
He must've done all the illegal things an attorney could commit.
Cha Seong Jae, that guy is seriously...
You need to get it together now.
Don't say your dead husband is alive or something nonsensical like that.
Let's catch that psycho Chief Ma and put him away first.
How about what I asked you about?
Shin Hwa.
Do you really have to?
A DNA test in this situation?
The DNA sample...
won't be hard to get since the case was concluded as suicide.
I'll request it for now. Let's wait.
Thank you.
Thank you, Shin Hwa.
Please take care of Bom for me.
You're the only one I can ask.
I'm sincerely sorry about CEO Cha.
You must be very upset.
No, I'm sorry to disturb you regarding my personal matter.
It's possible to extend the loan then, correct?
Yes. The executive director of Chawoong came to be the guarantor.
By chance,
did CEO Cha create the accounts for the homeless sponsored by
the Chawoong Foundation here?
Well, yes.
He said he wanted to give them support from the foundation's fund.
But why do you ask that?
I heard one of the accounts was used as a burner account once.
I'm not sure. There are countless accounts like that.
It happens occasionally.
In Gyu, did you look into it?
Yes, out of the people who received the foundation's support,
13 of them were being managed by CEO Cha.
Send me the list.
[Jo In Gyu]
[Hwang Tae Su / Choi Beom Jun / Kim Wu Shik]
Choi Beom Jun and Kim Wu Shik?
Choi Beom Jun. [Construction Subcontractor Agreement]
Kim Wu Shik?
[KK International CEO Kim Wu Shik]
The contract fee was 7 billion won.
Your husband took 7 billion from me.
I got 500 million back. So there's 6.5 billion left.
How can I help you? Chief Ma is in a meeting right now.
Should I talk to you out here?
I wonder if everyone knows.
Please leave.
Thank you.
- Please leave. - For the independence of the people who struggle financially,
you signed such a major contract.
I'm here to thank you on behalf of the Chawoong Foundation.
Let's postpone the meeting.
I have a guest, as you can see.
Are you crazy?
Do you realize that you've been betrayed by Cha Seong Jae now?
Wake up, ma'am.
Where's the money?
Do you think I'm here as Cha Seong Jae's wife right now?
No. I was a prosecutor for 13 years.
I've dealt with too many people like you.
The 7 billion my husband supposedly took.
It wasn't even your money.
It was a mysterious ghost company, not Ma Gang,
who the 7 billion belongs to.
I'm not sure what you mean.
A ghost company sent the ridiculous amount of
7 billion won in construction fees to a fake homeless person's account.
That's a classic money laundering tactic.
I see.
If you didn't know, should I be paying a visit to whoever it is who is above you?
I suppose a corporation like Geumshin Corporation
wouldn't launder their money so clumsily.
You're an entertaining lady.
It's none of your concern what kind of money that is.
I'm telling you to give it back since your husband took it.
- Is there evidence? - What?
You should've given it to him under your name.
Why would you trust Cha Seong Jae with such a large sum of money?
Because he was cheap.
Your husband charged the lowest fee.
He was resourceful since he had the foundation, too.
You must know well since you used to be a prosecutor.
That those weren't the skills of a rookie.
Make it public if you want to.
I have nothing to do with it.
Cha Seong Jae represented Deputy Kim Yun Seon, who embezzled money and died.
Go ahead and expose it.
Those two teamed up and took the money.
And I'm just trying to clean up the mess.
You're so transparent.
Tongues may lie but,
but bodies don't.
You're scared, aren't you?
Looks like you know
the higher-ups won't believe what you just said.
If there's evidence my husband took your money, bring it.
I'll be responsible if I have to.
If you threaten me using my daughter again,
you'll pay for it.
Mr. Do, we need to talk.
Using the support fund as an excuse,
I think CEO Cha used Mr. Hwang Tae Su and a few others.
And the burner accounts...
Perhaps he used their bank accounts to launder Chief Ma's money.
Like an obvious plot from a movie.
Did you want to see me to tell me that?
Excuse me.
I don't care if you people launder money or whatever else.
Cha Seong Jae, whom you believe to be dead...
I'm just looking for him right now.
Sure.
I see that you're looking for Hwang Tae Su
so you can catch Cha Seong Jae.
This is Mr. Hwang's transaction history.
After Seong Jae died,
Mr. Hwang took out cash from just one branch.
Let's do an exchange.
Tell me why you believe Cha Seong Jae is alive.
There's a business that deals with people who can't register phones under the own names.
I introduced them to Tae Su, too.
Seong Jae said he needed a way to reach Tae Su.
Seong Jae apparently went there recently
and purchased a new number under Tae Su's name.
That number is still active.
The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail after the beep...
[010-1812-3201]
The call is not going through. You'll be connected to the voicemail after the beep...
[DNA Test Report]
You should've been dead.
You should've just died, Cha Seong Jae.
[DNA Test Report]
[Result: 0.0000001% a match] Should I tell Father?
Thankfully, the DNA sample from the body was kept as evidence.
They compared it with the DNA from his toothbrush at home.
I...
I must've taken the wrong toothbrush.
It's possible you were mistaken,
but the DNA from that toothbrush can't just...
match the DNA from a stranger's body, Mother.
Are you doubting me right now?
I heard you've been meeting up with Do Jin Wu lately.
Did he tell you that?
Yes.
Since the Chawoong Foundation used to sponsor him,
I heard he was very close to you and Father.
You must know that he got shot recently, too, then.
I don't know if it's a good thing or not,
but he said he saw who shot him.
There's no way it was Seong Jae.
He would never do-
Why are you telling me that?
How could he have shot Mr. Do if he was dead?
If he's alive, what's with that body?
That's murder.
If not, it's illegal tampering with a corpse, at least.
Trying to kill Mr. Do is attempted murder.
How much do you want me to find out?
Let me meet Seong Jae before things get worse.
What kind of nonsense are you saying...
I know you're having a hard time, but...
Stop saying stuff like that and leave.
This is Mr. Hwang Tae Su's call history.
This is your number.
Where's Cha Seong Jae right now?
I'll discuss this with Father, then.
Mun Yeong. Mun Yeong.
D-Don't be like that. Let's go out and...
Father.
Yes.
I'll get going now.
Oh, okay. Get home safely.
See you at the office tomorrow.
I'll let you rest, then.
[We're against the building of the resort that mocks the locals]
[46, Haean-ro 4 gil]
You really were alive.
♫ I can't take another lonely night ♫
♫ You know that I need to more. You know that I need you more. ♫
♫ I'm not giving in without a fight ♫
[Hide]
Did you kill Hwang Tae Su?
Let go, you son of a bitch!
I've been threatened by Do Jin Wu.
I told the police that Hwang Tae Su was the one who shot me.
We'll find out if the police will find Hwang Tae Su or Cha Seong Jae soon.
Any luck getting the money ready?
I'll ask you nicely only for a few more days.
You'll demand 7 billion from Ma Gang for damages?
Yes. I hope you look forward to it.
