(All people, organizations, locations, and incidents...)

(Child actors filmed in safety.)

(Episode 6)

Say you'll do it.

Do what?

Gun or bomb, say you'll make it.

You learned nothing during the ten-day beating.

You met with a psychiatrist...

before coming here, didn't you?



I bet you said...

you were beaten as a kid.

That's why they're doing this to you.

They're using your greatest weakness to tame you.

Next time, just do it.

Whoever dies when your bomb goes off,

don't even care.

Don't even consider being responsible for the outcome.

Worry about yourself.

How old...

are you?

Are you the senior here?

Such ranks don't exist here.

We're all on our own.



Ro Um.

Han Moo Young.

Turn yourself in.

Two.

One.

We're coming in!

This is insane. I'm done for.

Na Sa. Shutdown.

My darn life.

The basement and this room's separate, right?

There's a generator.

What? Yes.

Turn off the whole system.

- What? - Cut the power.

Then all the equipment...

Everything. Do it now.

- Na Sa. - Yes?

As of right now, I'm your lawyer.

What's your real name?

Na Su Ho.

From now on, you only speak through me.

You'll remain silent, okay?

Okay.

Calm down. Count to ten out loud.

One.

Two.

Three.

Ro Um.

What's going on? The connection with Na Sa has been lost.

Do you have the footage?

Are you outside now?

Make a backup and wait for me.

Remember Sim Kyung Hwa?

Oh, yes.

Yes, that woman.

I bet you just thought she was an extra.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

You need to blackmail Park Jong Gu if money is what you're after.

You run a waste management company.

Why not get rid of your husband first?

I don't want to dirty my own hands. That's why.

Do you know a lot about Park Jong Gu?

Or do you know about me?

I got married with nothing but a cutlery set.

His family financed this business.

And I worked like a dog to grow the company.

But my so-called husband spends my hard-earned money...

like water,

yet my in-laws always treat him like a king,

while I'm always...

nothing but a slave.

I felt indebted to them, so I put up with them...

without knowing that I'd have to do it for 20 years.

- My gosh. - I saw all sorts of things.

Affairs?

I'd be grateful if he didn't molest anyone.

Do you know how many female employees...

I had to settle with when we were still newlyweds?

All he did in the office was cause such trouble,

so I gave him pocket money and told him to go out,

and he started gambling.

But now that I've lived with him for this long, I honestly don't know.

That pathetic jerk...

and me, who's still with him. We're like two peas in a pod.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

My point is, taking him down is like...

spitting on my own face.

Isn't it a risk worth taking...

for the sake of your own life?

But what will you use to take him down for good?

Park Jong Gu.

I'll put him behind bars.

I've never seen anyone serve a jail sentence for gambling.

Right, that's how the law is.

Starting a gambling den,

embezzlement, and fraud.

I'd say that's enough to make his trial more interesting.

Just stop giving him money once he starts betting more,

so he'll touch the company's money.

A few weeks later, he'll be accused...

of opening the gambling den through his acquaintance.

And he'll be arrested at the scene.

She'll take the bait.

All her life, she's been a mere supporting character.

I am giving her a lead role.

Yes.

I deliberately misled them.

Even Han Moo Young is pulling his petty tricks. Why can't I do it?

Now, let me tell you the truth.

Not about Park Jong Gu.

I'll tell you what I was really after.

Na Sa and Mr. Han aren't picking up.

She made sure I wouldn't be at the auto shop.

There's definitely something else.

Was there anything you heard?

Hey, don't worry. The boys are still there, you know.

What's the use?

The equipment is disconnected, so we can't see the cards anymore.

Oh, my.

Thank you.

Let's change it up a little.

Sure, let's do that.

- How about we play Sutda? - Sounds good.

Attorney Han Moo Young?

Mr. Ko Yo Han?

Officer Ko.

What are you doing here?

That is what I want to ask.

What is a lawyer doing here?

Edit the footage so Park Jong Gu is clearly visible.

What happened?

Where's Mr. Han?

I asked you what happened.

The police came.

Then how did you...

You called the cops, didn't you?

Why is it...

that you're always seen...

with the ex-cons in this area, Mr. Han?

Officer Ko, it's...

May we help you? This is private property.

We received a call about a private gambling den here.

Where?

In the basement.

- Who called it in? - Are you the owner?

I'm his attorney.

You're mistaken.

There's no basement here.

Well, we shall search the place and find out if that's the case.

May we check your IDs? Both of you.

Gosh, no way.

The boys are there too. And what about Na Sa?

- We're back. - Hi.

You guys...

Oh, sorry it took us a while. We went to grab some food.

Well, you guys left because you were done with all the setup.

But why are you here?

We were told someone else would play in his place.

That's why we ate together.

What? Who?

Oh. Mr. Han said so.

What?

What on earth is happening?

Then who's that?

No idea.

Hold it. Let me do it.

Sure, go for it.

Don't you feel hot?

Mr. Ko, what brings you here?

You said you were his attorney. Shouldn't you know why I'm here?

I'm Su Ho's probation officer.

You know that your client is an ex-con, right?

Was it around this time last year?

Yes, it's been about a year.

He was arrested red-handed for habitual gambling...

based on Article 246 of the Penal Code.

And he was sentenced to two years of probation.

However...

I didn't hear from him at all for about a month,

and he ignored all my calls and texts.

Only loan sharks were seen visiting this auto shop.

It's been closed for a long time.

Then I received a call that somebody opened...

a private gambling den at this auto shop,

so I came here with the local patrol team.

Are you sure there's no basement here?

And you really didn't gamble?

Then why did you hire a lawyer?

I was giving him advice on some legal matters.

But it's so dark out here.

You were doing a consultation with no lights?

There is no basement here.

May we search the place?

Sure.

Su Ho.

Can you not talk?

Well...

Hey.

He's winning.

He keeps on winning.

You're right.

But he wasn't winning earlier.

I'm sorry about that.

I finally got one.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Are you swindling me?

(Attorney, Defendant)

Who is that?

Who is that punk?

You haven't caught sight of gambling,

nor are you justified to make an arrest without a warrant.

You've already damaged the property,

and you've searched the place for over ten minutes.

Do you need more time?

Not time. We need evidence.

What's that?

What is that down there?

I'll tell you why you got such a call.

Do you know anything?

I'll tell you where the real gambling house is.

Where is it?

Mr. Na Su Ho has nothing to do with the gambling house.

We must arrest an illegal gambler caught in the act by the law.

If we can arrest the offender from your tip,

you'll be an informant,

given that we're able to arrest the offender this instant.

Enter the convenience store at the Janggubeol Intersection,

you'll find an underground passage connected...

to Hansiso Village Building A below their storage.

That's the house that Mr. Na found.

And I found out about it.

I don't know who tipped you off today,

but it must have been to get revenge.

This is Patrol 12 of Dolma Patrol Division.

We have information...

of convention gambling at an illegally remodeled building.

You'll find the entrance at Janggubeol Intersection...

Considering they have an underground passage,

it must be a huge case.

We'll have to bring you in for a witness interview.

Hansiso Village Building A...

We might need backup.

Please alert other stations nearby.

Darn it.

Is it done?

Hello?

It's over.

He took all the betting money.

I'll call you back.

They've found the secret passage.

One of our men will call you for a witness interview.

You may come alone...

or with an attorney.

This is Patrol 12.

We're leaving Dolma 2-80.

We'll see you back at the station.

Anything else you want to ask?

This may seem like a strange coincidence,

but there's one more person on probation...

between you and me other than Mr. Na.

Well, she's a client of yours, isn't she?

I would look past it thinking it's a small world,

but my job...

makes me curious.

How are Na Su Ho and Lee Ro Um related?

I wonder.

I'll see you again...

at an unfamiliar place.

(Attorney Han Moo Young)

We need to talk.

I'll go to your place tomorrow morning.

Thank you for that.

Anything for you, Mr. Han.

(Seoyoung Studio)

I've thought all night...

about what you wanted.

Pushing away a lawyer who gets on your nerves,

or testing that lawyer?

Now that I've wrapped things up,

have I passed your test?

Or was I just too dull?

Perhaps you were simply trying to get rid of me.

You like the truth.

I merely showed you that.

This line of work isn't for a lawyer.

I told you that I had an illness.

I'm not a regular lawyer.

I'm a terrible one.

Ms. Lee Ro Um?

- That's me. - What's going on?

You're arrested without a warrant for inciting murder.

Just a moment.

Inciting murder on who?

Mr. Ye Chung Sik was...

murdered in prison last night.

And the perpetrator confessed that he was ordered...

by Ms. Lee.

Please step away.

Mr. Ye Chung Sik is dead?

We'll talk details at the station.

What are your grounds other than his confession?

Who are you?

I'm Ms. Lee's attorney.

Then, you must be aware of obstruction of justice.

Lee Ro Um is arrested for inciting murder.

According to Article 200 of the Criminal Procedure Act,

we have the right to detain her for up to 48 hours.

- What's the time of arrest? - It's 8:28am.

The time is 8:28am. I notified you of the exact time.

You're under arrest.

You have the right to an attorney,

but you seem to know that.

You have the right to remain silent,

and you have the right to request a review...

of the legality of the arrest.

If Ms. Lee asks for a lawyer,

we will give you a call immediately.

Take her away.

It happened last night.

The killer used a sharpened toothbrush.

Confession or not, with all the witnesses,

I don't think he even cared.

As soon as he was arrested, he gave up Lee Ro Um.

He said he could prove...

how she ordered the kill if he were allowed to see her.

If it were a contract killing, why would he give up his client...

as soon as he was arrested?

I think they'll grant his wish.

They'll be cross-examined tomorrow.

To be honest, I didn't think Lee Ro Um would live a quiet life.

What I didn't expect was your appearance.

Weren't you done since the damage suit was dropped?

Why are you still defending her?

Is it that weird for a lawyer to defend a client?

You don't know what Lee Ro Um is like.

Doesn't that go for you as well?

I'll be in touch.

Na Sa.

Don't talk to me.

Let it go.

I said don't talk to me.

I really didn't say anything.

Then I guess it was Da Jung.

How was I to know Jang Kyung Ja was still funding you?

Darn it.

It was just business, okay?

Didn't you spend her money too?

We provide our skills,

and they pay us accordingly!

Ro Um got paid as well!

Darn it. I've had enough.

Who does Ro Um think she is?

Why is she so selfish?

Let's be honest. We've been a gang for ten years.

Did she ever respect us?

Did she ever share with us what she was thinking?

Forget it.

We shouldn't have listened to her in the first place.

You know how freaky she is.

She always was, even as a kid.

And then she was in prison for ten years.

I bet she came out even worse than before.

Isn't that why she did something like this?

You two should consider parting ways with her for good.

Whatever the reason, Ro Um was going to...

let me go down, and that's a fact!

Darn it.

And all because I spent some money?

How could she do this to me?

We did worse.

We betrayed her first.

(Attorney Han Moo Young)

Hello, Mr. Han.

(Dajung Comic Books)

Come in.

Not long ago, I visited Ye Chung Sik.

What did he say?

He didn't seem to know how he was arrested.

He said he made a deal with Jeokmok and was betrayed.

We got him arrested.

He struck up a deal to get paid in prison,

but there's no way Jeokmok would do what he wants.

He'll have felt utterly cornered once the payments stopped.

He'll have thought he might get offed,

and he was right.

Hong Chang Ki. Before Jeokmok went bankrupt,

he was the director's chauffeur.

He lost everything in the stock market...

and vanished after defaulting on his loans.

He was arrested for fraud in 2021...

and was in prison for a little over a year.

- He's a ghost. - A "ghost?"

That's what Jeokmok calls their disposable workers.

They pick people who have hit rock bottom.

Their known weaknesses make them easy to manipulate.

Having nothing to lose makes them bold,

and more than anything, they're easily swayed by money.

Like in the Geumseong murders?

Yes, like that.

How do you think they got Ro Um involved?

An Chae Hong was Jeokmok's director.

People think he committed suicide,

but Ro Um thinks he was murdered...

for knowing the chairman's identity.

That's why they hired Hong Chang Ki who used to...

work for An Chae Hong.

They could say his payment was from her to kill Ye Chung Sik.

Is the chairman behind this too?

How do you know that?

Ye Chung Sik said...

the chairman called that day.

Why did Ro Um's parents have to die?

Her parents...

found her again after ten years.

I sent letters...

and did all I could.

Did you get the letters?

I didn't think I could speak,

so I wrote everything down.

We were told...

you didn't want to see us.

And we believed it.

I'm sorry.

Not long...

after you left,

I couldn't eat or sleep.

The foundation said they couldn't let you come back...

because you'd been given a scholarship.

Your dad was sick,

and our debt kept building up.

To be honest,

I thought...

you'd be doing fine.

You were so sweet and clever.

We thought you'd be much better off...

than living with us.

We're sorry.

It'll sound like an excuse,

and I shouldn't say this but...

Let's...

go back.

Come home.

(Don't skip meals and stay healthy.)

(It's the same. Our house is the same.)

Ro Um was going to go back to her parents.

That's all.

Ye Chung Sik said...

to his cellmates before he died...

that he's a stand-in and the real killer is out there.

You paid Hong Chang Ki.

What kind of game...

were you playing with the two?

I knew you'd end up in here,

being the psychopath you are.

My supervisor arrested you ten years ago...

and got you to confess.

You sly girl. We thought you'd rot in prison.

Who knew this would happen ten years later?

I bet you lost it when Ye Chung Sik said...

he'd confess that he didn't actually do it.

That's why you ordered Hong Chang Ki to kill him.

You must've paid him and used your smart brain to threaten him.

I remember now.

I was interrogated just like this ten years ago.

What do you mean?

It was so obvious that he was strictly following orders,

like an obedient dog. I'm talking about your supervisor.

You little...

How dare you.

Watch what you say, okay?

I want my lawyer here.

Call my lawyer.

(CEO Jang Kyung Ja of Navis Well-being)

(Seoyoung Studio)

What are you doing?

We'll talk another time.

That's Ms. Lee's bag.

I told you.

I must make sure she never goes anywhere near muddy mires.

Shouldn't you first find out if she walked in there of her own accord?

I'm sorry, but is her trial already over?

From what I know, she was arrested today.

Everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty.

Well, I'm sorry.

To me, she's a criminal.

Just like the other 100 ex-cons that have been assigned to me.

Are you sure she's just like the others?

You seem overly interested for a probation officer...

trying to look out for one of his offenders.

What does that mean?

Are you complimenting my professionalism?

You call that "professionalism?"

Hey, Attorney Han Moo Young.

Aren't you getting too caught up in playing the hero?

I'm just doing my job.

You should do the same, Mr. Ko.

Shall we compare and see?

Whom does Lee Ro Um need more in this situation?

Her probation officer?

Or her attorney who will just roll around in mud with her?

We shall see!

What on earth have you been up to?

(Attorney Han Moo Young)

The disciplinary hearing is in two days.

You've been snooping around. What are you after?

Why are people saying you're connected to Ye Chung Sik's murder?

Do you still meet with that girl, Lee Ro Um?

You clearly didn't listen to me.

I told you she was a psycho.

When the damage suit ended like that, I told you...

to just let it go. I warned you!

What is going on? Why are you being like this?

To what extent will you defend her?

Do you not know what "repentance" means?

Hey.

You see...

If you go in there again as Lee Ro Um's attorney,

and if it turns out that she's connected to Ye Chung Sik's murder,

then you'll be considered her accomplice.

People will say you betrayed Ye Chung Sik...

and aided in the murder as Lee Ro Um's attorney.

Rumors will spread like wildfire!

I don't care.

Han Moo Young.

I just have to attend the disciplinary hearing, right?

Can you not grasp the situation?

Your former client...

whom you ditched for that woman has been murdered.

Before he died, he said it was her doing!

Has she been found guilty?

If this causes any problems, I'll leave the firm.

Moo Young.

Make sure Ring Go gets this today.

Anything else?

Don't you want to know...

if I really killed them?

And did you kill them?

I won't assume it was you until you say so.

(8 hours after her arrest)

Did you read this?

No, I did not.

(Wolgye Environmental Development, revolver, leave in the golf bag)

You must've been waiting for my answer.

So what was I really after?

Just so you know, the deal with Sim Kyung Hwa is done.

He escaped arrest thanks to Han Moo Young.

But there's still evidence...

that Park Jong Gu gambled and committed embezzlement.

Han Moo Young thought...

I planned this to take him out.

So did Na Sa, who had been getting money...

from Jang Kyung Ja.

Park Jong Gu, the puppet CEO of the waste management company.

(Han Moo Young, Na Sa, Park Jong Gu)

Recently, Wolgye Environmental Development...

landed an evidence disposal deal with police precincts...

in all of Western and Southern Gyeonggi.

(Wolgye Environmental Development, evidence disposal deal)

The thing I need will be discarded too.

Who will use this?

Ro Um.

Ro Um will use this?

Why?

You've gotten quite chatty.

I can't even ask?

I'll need a few more days to change the serial number.

No need. Just leave it.

Don't change the number.

But you said this was for Ro Um.

Na Su Ho.

Who's your boss?

Whoever pays me.

So it's not Ro Um.

Revolver?

Revolver.

Revolver! Darn it!

Lee Ro Um, this little...

If Han Moo Young delivered it successfully,

Ring Go will bring it to me within 24 hours from now.

Assembled by Na Sa.

Used by Ye Chung Sik to shoot my parents.

That very revolver.

(13 hours after her arrest)

(Hu Sauna)

Shoot.

Darn it!

Jung Da Jung!

Jung Da Jung!

Hey.

(Dajung Comic Books)

(Dajung Comic Books)

Hey, that must be it.

Wolgye Environmental Development's waste disposal deal.

- Hey! - That's it, right?

Ro Um is looking for that revolver.

She knows that I engraved my name on it!

Calm down.

What? So you don't care?

Because it won't affect you?

You don't care if I end up behind bars again?

Do you not care about your friends, just like Lee Ro Um?

Who cares what I think?

- What? - Whether Ro Um...

uses that gun to get you locked up,

blows the whistle on Jeokmok, targets the president,

or kills us one by one,

we have no way of knowing, and we can't stop her.

You know what? You should just beg for your life.

(Personal Details)

This is their radius of activity.

Take care of them as quietly as possible.

Let's beg for our lives.

We'll disguise ourselves as Wolgye employees...

and get the evidence pieces to be discarded.

(Wolgye Environmental Development)

Good work today.

Sir.

Be careful.

Don't worry. I won't put you in trouble.

We're not worried about that.

I'll see you.

We will now begin cross-examination.

Ms. Lee's lawyer may stay here.

You have the right to refuse to make a statement,

and the whole process will be recorded.

It's a gift.

Just like ten years ago, right?

Stay awake.

I'll always be watching you.

That's all.

What about your contract?

Ms. Lee has nothing to do with this.

I just wanted to see her face.

I...

murdered him because I wanted to.

Ye Chung Sik, that scumbag,

has always gotten under my skin.

Listen. What is this?

We have records of you two contacting each other...

and the commissary money transfer.

Right.

She did send me commissary money.

But she wanted to know how Chung Sik was doing.

That money was for the info.

All I did was give her information about a fellow inmate.

How is that a crime?

What?

(Na Sa)

(Recents)

(35 hours after her arrest)

What was Hong Chang Ki saying to you?

Is that like your secret code?

Did you honestly send him the money because you were curious...

about Chung Sik as he said?

No.

People normally don't make such a decision.

You're not entirely innocent, right?

You committed violence and fraud while you were imprisoned.

I have a feeling that you'd been planning the whole thing since then.

You paid Chung Sik...

and gave him the murder weapon that you stashed.

Isn't that right?

We're currently searching...

Chang Ki's house with a warrant.

What if we find something there?

You're going to regret this moment very much.

Do you smoke?

Is there something you want to eat? I'll order it for you.

Why did you confess, then?

Because my superior forced you to?

Why would you be intimidated by him?

He's just a middle-aged man with a potbelly.

Why did a clever girl like you...

confess to a crime...

that you didn't even commit back then?

I see.

So, you want to go to prison.

That's it, isn't it? You're fearless.

Talk to me!

If you stay silent right now,

I have no choice but to think that you did it.

Do you admit it?

Will you please speak?

Take a seat.

What were you doing?

I was preparing for the trial tomorrow.

I see.

How is Ro Um doing? Is everything all right?

She's all right.

She'll be released tomorrow.

Someone went through her studio apartment.

It must have been the police.

I moved her stuff before that.

So, that's why I couldn't find the bag.

Moo Young.

Yes?

Why do you think we regrouped...

when we've all become a mess?

We've always wanted to run.

Always.

We were just not brave enough.

It's funny.

Ro Um had never thought of escaping,

and she was the first one to leave Jeokmok,

not one of us, who always wanted to run.

Did I tell you?

That I owe my life to Ro Um.

If you're going to kill him, make it quick.

Don't torture him by dragging it on.

I need him.

So quit ruining him.

Tell the president.

If you hurt him anymore,

I can't work either.

The Geumseong murders.

Da Jung and Na Sa took part in it,

and I ran away.

Da Jung and Na Sa could say they were doing as they were told,

but not me.

Ro Um knew she was putting herself in danger,

but she saved me first.

She saved me, and I...

I betrayed her.

That's why I serve her loyally,

with all my life, until I make up for it.

But that's just the situation I'm in.

When Ro Um called the cops during the last operation,

if things went as planned, lots of people would've gotten hurt.

No one knows what Ro Um's thinking...

or can control her.

Moo Young.

Can I trust you?

I just have to put this...

in the bag Ro Um indicated.

Can I do that?

Yes.

Do it.

Thank you.

Since Ro Um chose her family,

the president played a game with her.

(Unknown number: Welcome back.)

(Statement)

(Bar Association)

(Moran Dongbu Police Station)

(Released)

Hello.

That's mine.

No.

It's what you stole.

Hand it over.

I understand.

You understand?

I do understand.

You?

Yes, me.

Three months.

Trust me for three months.

Because for three months, I'm not a lawyer.

Ro Um.

He's Han Jae Seok's son.

When we were 14, we bankrupted...

Moyang Foods, Han Jae Seok's company.

Han Moo Young...

is his son.

I'll bring down Jeokmok.

And to do that, first,

I'll go after Jang Kyung Ja.

Fine.

Let's commit fraud together.

(Delightfully Deceitful)

You'll let Mr. Han in?

Use me. I'm using you too.

I got suspended...

because of you, Ro Um.

Did you know...

they're all a gang?

They received scholarships from the same foundation.

What are you doing?

Long time no see.

I've wanted to ask you...

the truth about Jeokmok.

The president's identity is in there.
