Why Her (2022): Season 1, Episode 15 - Disciplinary Hearing - full transcript

After seeing her daughter die right before her eyes, Soo Jae falls into deep grief. She disappears with a letter left for Chan. Meanwhile, Tae Guk plans to disbar Soo Jae permanently. He tells the bar association to hold a discipl...

Jae Yi.

She's your daughter.

I have a lot on my mind now too.
Let's talk about Jae Yi later.

How could you not have known?

How could you not have
recognized your own daughter?

I'll do a good job as
the firm's managing partner...

and raise Jae Yi well...

as my daughter.

Jae Yi is gone.



I told her I was going to the US by myself.

I told her that she would
live with her dad now.

I found her.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Jae Yi!

- No!
- Jae Yi!

No!

I felt like I was dreaming.

The day I held you in my arms.

I hoped that I'd never wake up...

if it was a dream.

There were...

so many things I wanted to
do with you in that dream.



(Episode 15)

Father, it was Soo Jae's fault
that Jae Yi died.

If Soo Jae made sure
she wouldn't cross the street...

If she never acted up to begin with,
Jae Yi would still be with us.

What? Calm down?

Father, Jae Yi died.

Even just a few hours ago,
she was alive and healthy.

But she suddenly died.

Right before my eyes. I can't believe this.

And you're telling me to calm down?

Father, how...

How...

Gosh.

My gosh.

She's refusing to leave the OR,
holding the dead girl in her arms.

I think she's Ms. Oh.

The director told us to
keep it strictly confidential.

The girl's parents are outside now,

but Ms. Oh won't leave the OR.

Okay, I'm on my way now.
I'll call you when I'm there.

(Authorized Personnel Only)

I apologize, sir.

We can't. We have another surgery booked.

I'm really sorry.

Wait, just a moment.

Let go!

Professor Oh!

Professor Oh!

Mom!

Jae Yi.

(No Visitors Allowed in Emergency Room)

She has ventricular tachycardia,
and her blood pressure is unstable.

Even if she had an arrhythmia,
it's not looking good.

We'll run some tests and monitor her ECG,

but I suggest we keep her here
for a few days.

Jae Yi is...

Soo Jae's daughter.

She finally met her daughter
who was thought to be dead.

(Results)

(Collected A from the water bottle,
B from the pen,)

(and C from the beverage can.)

(A, B, C do not match
with Fingerprint Sample D.)

None of the fingerprints is a match.

Call me when you see this.

Professor Oh.

Why are you being like this?
I'm really worried about you.

Lie down. Please!

I must leave.

Please let me go, Jun Hee.

(Seojung National University
Funeral Center)

(Seojung National University Hospital)

(Deepest Condolences,
Chairman of Hansu Group)

(Senior Presidential Secretary
for Personnel Affairs)

I had a chat...

with Mr. Seo over the phone
regarding the hidden camera.

He said it'd turn into a headache...

if the girls raised an issue with it.

You moron.

Do you have the updated rating?

Well... Because of the
Yeongpyeong District scandal,

it has dropped seven percent.

Darn it.

So what if my daughter got a bonus?
Did I get the bonus?

My mother-in-law owns
the three apartment units.

They're not mine.

They're technically yours.

The four billion won was given
to help you with the election,

and so were the apartments.

Hey, we never asked for them.

You voluntarily offered.
What's this gibberish now?

"Gibberish"? This is ridiculous.

Hey, are you calling
my father "ridiculous"?

Why? Am I wrong?

My granddaughter passed away.

How could you fight in front of me?
You ignorant morons.

It's all thanks to me that
you can live a decent life now.

Clearly, you've forgotten
all about it. How dare you...

You useless jerks.

Chairman Choi.

Apologize to him at once, you fool.

We're at a funeral right now.
Have some manners.

Hey, apologize. What are you waiting for?

- I apologize, sir.
- I apologize, sir.

Chairman Choi.

You must be utterly devastated now.

Of course, we know that.

But they say, "The deeper the valley,"

"the higher the mountain."

If we just get over this hurdle,

everything will be okay.
You know that, right?

Yes, that's right.

Let's just overcome this crisis,
Chairman Choi.

We really are almost there now.

Don't let anything slip out
when talking to the media.

And do not react.

Just wait quietly.

I'll get it sorted out.
Of course, we must overcome this.

We will rise above this.

We're so close to achieving our goal.

We cannot stop here.

You're absolutely right, Chairman Choi.

How dare you come here?

How dare you!

Soo Jae.

I know that you talked
nonsense to my father.

You told him the three of us
were the main suspects in the case.

That's why he told you that
Jae Yi was your daughter.

Because you guys are
the prime suspects in the case.

That's why he faltered and gave it away.

You killed Jae Yi. It was you.

You killed your daughter.

- Stop, Ju Wan.
- Let go, you punk.

How can I stop?
Jae Yi died because of this witch.

Soo Jae killed Jae Yi!

Stop!

Please, that's enough.

Must you stoop so low in front of me?

Seriously, enough is enough.

Get off your high horse.
You aren't any different.

You just watch.
I will make you pay for this.

I will finish you off.

Ju Wan!

I'm sorry.

I can't even describe how sorry I am.

I'm so sorry.

I...

didn't even recognize you, Sky.

I made you sad.

I'm really sorry, sweetheart.

Goodbye, my sweet child.

My daughter, Sky.

My daughter...

Sky.

What is it that you have?

Han Gi Taek said something interesting.

Hong Seok Pal told me something
about An Kang Won's scandal.

(Han Gi Taek Recording)

You see,

those geezers manufactured
the scandal using Park So Young.

(Han Gi Taek Recording)

Assemblyman Lee wanted
An Kang Won out of the picture,

so Chairman Choi used So Young,
whom he adored.

He's really something, isn't he?

Then he should've at least paid her well.

Gosh, I feel so bad for her.

Then you must know...

who killed Park So Young and Hong Seok Pal.

Even if I know who did it,
I can't tell you.

At the same time, I can't say I don't know.

Ask Mr. Ha...

Actually, no.

Why don't you ask Chairman Choi Tae Guk?

(Han Gi Taek Recording)

And see what he says.

(Non-Disclosure Agreement)

(Oh Soo Jae)

(Choi Tae Guk)

(Choi Tae Guk)

(Oh Soo Jae)

The ink hasn't even dried yet.

But I'll respect it. You do the same.

Soo Jae.

I did some digging.
There's a possibility that...

Mr. Choi's deceased daughter
was Ms. Oh's child.

One more thing, Father.

About the garbage bag
from Chairman Han's house.

They found Eun Seo's earring in it.

It's the one I gave to her
as a gift ten years ago.

We found a faint bloodstain on the earring.

Does the blood belong to Eun Seo?

No, they're still analysing it.

It's from ten years ago,
so it's not easy to extract DNA from it.

It'll take some time.

We lifted several
fingerprints from the tape.

It means a number of people
used it to tie someone.

The fingerprint analysis
will take some time too.

But why was it left in there?

In the wall, in a garbage bag at that.

I've heard of instances
where construction workers...

leave garbage in the walls.

Many years have passed,

but the walls and the plastic bags
helped preserve the evidence.

(Seojung National University Hospital)

(Oh Soo Jae)

(Chairman Choi Tae Guk)

I'm TK Law Firm.

And TK Law Firm is me.

I thought that if I persevered
and kept on climbing,

I'd eventually reach a world
waiting up there just for me.

Turns out, there was nothing.

What does it mean to breathe?

And to be alive.

My foolish choice
caused you tremendous pain.

Was I foolish, yet again?

(Gone home, I'll be back soon.
From Gong Chan)

I ruined your life and mine.

Now, I've even lost my child.

The fact that I'm still alive
and breathing like this...

is indescribably humiliating.

Will I be able to let go...

of all of my past?

(To Gong Chan)

(Will I be able to let go
of all of my past?)

Next news is about
Presidential Candidate Lee In Soo.

Regarding his daughter's special bonus
of four billion won...

and his mother-in-law's apartments
bought at give-away prices,

there is a sudden rise
of sympathy toward Lee,

which has resulted in
an upward trend in his ratings.

Regarding the allegations,
Lee stated earlier today...

that there were no legal issues...

and apologized for the
public outrage they caused.

I assure you that there
are no issues legally.

However, I do apologize for
the public outrage it caused.

- Lee In Soo!
- Withdraw from the election!

Hansu Group's stock price had plummeted...

due to the allegations surrounding
Yeongpyeong District...

and Director Han Dong O's
hidden camera scandal,

but Hansu managed to
win back public trust...

with its announcement to
sell half-priced homes...

to help low-income households.

The company's stock rose
3.4 percent this week...

- Thank you.
- and is continuing to recover.

Some expected that the sell-off
of Hansu Bio would fall through,

but SP Partners released
an official statement that the company...

never considered backing out of the deal.

Many say that Chairman Han Sung Bum's
honest leadership...

helped the company quickly bounce back...

even after such unsavoury scandals...

that could've been
detrimental to the company.

I checked the places you told me,
but she wasn't there.

Yes. If you hear from her,
call me right away.

I was going to come and see you.

It's okay. I'm here.
You have a lot going on right now.

Did she contact you?

Where did she go?

She can be so mean.

She has a knack for
making everyone worry about her.

She knew we'd look for her,
but she didn't care.

I told her...

to just forget about
TK and everything else.

I told her that she should just
live a happy life with you.

I'm sorry. I'll call you later.

She's the woman your son and
his friends met at the club...

and took to Chairman Han's house
the night Jeon Na Jung died.

A long-term care hospital...

Her name is Kang Eun Seo.

She was injured in
a car accident ten years ago,

so she has the mental capacity
of a young child.

She does not remember her past at all.

What about her family?

Her mother, Kang Myung Ju,
was a single mom.

Kang Eun Seo took her mother's surname.

And her mother died six years ago.

Who's taking care of the hospital bills?

Before Kang Myung Ju died,

she left her money
with the hospital for her daughter.

She has no other family.

I don't think you need
to be concerned, sir.

Is she close to any staff or
volunteers at the hospital?

Did you get a list of people
who visited her over the years?

I'll look into that a bit more.

Come on. This isn't like you.

I'm sorry. My son's condition...

has gotten worse lately,
so I've been distracted.

Come on. That's nothing new.

You still have to work.

I'm sorry, sir.

As expected,

Han Gi Taek turned down my visit,
so I met with his wife.

I offered 200 million won to
the women who threatened...

to sue Director Han Dong O
for secretly filming them.

So everything has been settled.

Soo Jae.

The bar association will
hold a disciplinary hearing.

- Pardon?
- The person who will chair it...

Wait. How...

I'm sure they already have
their own chairperson...

and arranged a replacement if need be.

I trust you guys.

Nam Gun Joong, the president of
Seoul Central Bar Association...

will inform Bar Association
about Soo Jae's violation.

Yu Dong Chu,
the president of Bar Association...

will put together a disciplinary board.

Kim Ji Wook,
the deputy manager of Court Administration.

Oh Hyung Seok,
the acting Minister of Justice.

There will be nine people on the board.

Hwang Gyung Hoo, Kang Gil Joo,
Hong Gi Pyo, and you.

The four of you will be on the board.

For the voting, 5 of the 9 people...

must side with us.

You need to bring in at least one of them.

Your ex-wife is on the board too.

Yes. But...

she's...

I don't care who it is.
Bring someone over to our side.

Yes, sir.

But what's the degree of
suspension for Soo Jae?

Revocation of her license.

Permanent disbarment.

One of Mr. Ha's habits is...

that he looks back after he leaves.

And one of his other habits is...

that once he gets something,
he looks into it thoroughly.

Because once you look into something,

you're bound to find something.

Like the nonsense Soo Jae is up to...

with her sidekicks.

How dare you come after my son...

and the sons of Chairman Han
and Lee In Soo?

Should I call this cute or immature?

We're looking for the truth.

Don't mock us for that.

Kim Dong Gu was framed as the culprit...

of the incident from ten years ago.

And No Byung Chul wasn't the real culprit.

I'm sure you know that better than anyone.

When the three of them
weren't the culprits,

you're looking into Mr. Ha now?

When the real culprit,
No Byung Chul, is dead?

If you need my fingerprints,
feel free to take them.

The culprit confessed.

And his fingerprint was
found on the murder weapon.

Other fingerprints on
the weapon don't matter.

I thought you knew that much.

I do.

I also know that powerful people...

frame innocent people,

deceive them, ruin their lives,

so I should find the truth...

and stand in their way.

I know that too.

And I will make sure to do so.

No wonder why they call you Little Soo Jae.

They were right.
You're bold and interesting,

just like Soo Jae.

Now, she crossed the line...

and is about to get
kicked out like some dog.

Relay this message to Soo Jae.

The Bar Association will
hold a disciplinary hearing.

The only fitting solution
for a crazy dog is...

to break its legs and toss it out.

Thank you for your fingerprints.

Get out.

Later on...

Maybe...

I should move to a place
like this many years later.

I hope Chan finds Soo Jae.

He will.

Even if he has to search the entire globe,

he'll find her and come back
with the professor.

I'm sure Chan will find
the professor. What about us?

Dr. Chae, you're sure
there's a clue here, right?

I'm sorry. My memory is so bad.

So I never throw things out.
I just hoard them.

I think we might find
some clues here. I'm sorry.

I just hope we find them.

It's all good as long as we find them.

Chun Poong, help me with this.

- Sure.
- Gosh.

- Wait.
- Gosh.

- Are you okay?
- Are you okay?

- Oh, no.
- Gosh.

I didn't clean anything up here. I'm sorry.

(Jeon Na Jung)

- Here you go.
- Good work.

No problem.

Wait. Wasn't Ms. Kang Eun Seo wearing that?

I keep forgetting to put that away.

The police didn't take it as evidence?

No. They got in touch with her family

and asked us to throw it out.

(Jeon Na Jung)

Hello.

I'm looking for someone. Have you seen her?

(We found it.)

We found it. We got
Jeon Na Jung's uniform, Chan.

Chan, we found it.

So make sure to find Professor Oh.

Professor Oh, please come back.

Be there. Please.

He now knows that we've been looking
into the unidentified fingerprint.

Kang Ja, get another agency
to examine her uniform.

And you must be especially careful.

Soo Jae!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

- Don't move.
- Let go of me.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

What are you doing? What were you thinking?

Let go. This is my life.

I ruined my own life.

Get a grip, Oh Soo Jae!

You got hurt because of me.

And I even killed my own daughter.

I just met her! My daughter!

That's not true. It's not your fault.

No. It's my fault.

This is the result of my decisions.

My foolish decisions.

And I'm paying the price for them...

like this.

I can't fathom what it means
to lose a child...

or how painful it must be.

But don't blame yourself for it.

Whenever I thought Na Jung
was dead because of me,

I was in misery.

I don't want you to be in misery.
So I'm begging you.

And my life...

isn't so bad after all.

The rough patch I went through
wasn't your fault.

It was because of those jerks
who take other people's lives lightly.

It won't make my mistakes go away.

I can't say I wasn't responsible
at all for what happened.

Then take responsibility.

It is a grave sin to mess up
other people's lives.

And it is an even graver sin...

to have no shame or remorse
after doing such a thing.

Tell the world.

That's how you can take responsibility.

You can do it. I know that
Oh Soo Jae can do it.

You're the strongest...

and most inspiring person I know,
and you never give up.

I...

might end up making
another foolish decision.

Then...

you might get hurt again.

I don't care.

I'll be right by your side until the end.

Let's go. Come with me.

Everyone is waiting for you.

With his confirmation hearing
right around the corner,

Justice Minister nominee Baek Jin Ki
has been accused...

of accepting a large bribe...

from Geummyeong Savings Bank in the past.

He denied the allegation and stated that...

the confirmation hearing
would help uncover the truth.

As a graduate of
Seojung University Law School,

(Director Baek Jin Ki)

he led Cheongju District Court,
Suwon District Court...

It looks like the thing with
the savings bank will bog me down.

I'll help you clear your name.

Tell them you want to
bring me in as your witness.

Gosh, I feel bad asking
for your help again.

When you become Minister of Justice,

round up some people I ask you to catch...

and just help me bury some things.

That's all I ask for.

That's nothing hard.

You never do anything unreasonable.

The Bar Association will hold
a disciplinary hearing for Soo Jae.

A disciplinary hearing?
What did Soo Jae do?

I let her grow too big.
I should've ousted her sooner.

Anyway, you'll have to help me out.

You'll need my help?

If Soo Jae were to appeal against
the disciplinary decision...

and file a complaint to
the Ministry of Justice...

Dismiss her appeal.

Okay.

- I have an appointment. See you.
- All right, bye.

Chairman Choi was the one who told
the media about the savings bank.

Because I'd reach out to him
for help if I were in a pickle.

It planned it.

He set this all up...

to make sure Ms. Oh would be reprimanded...

while pretending to be helping you.

In the worst-case scenario,

she'll be disbarred permanently.

No, I bet that is exactly what he is after.

He wants to tie her hands and feet
so she can't do anything.

He's extremely meticulous and ruthless.

I hope the analysis is completed
before your confirmation hearing.

There was only a small amount of blood,
and too much time has passed.

We'll get the results back
before then. I'm sure of it.

We're tackling the confirmation hearing...

and the disciplinary hearing
at the same time.

The confirmation hearing
will go well if I testify.

Then the police, prosecution,
and even the Ministry of Justice...

will be in our hands.

So focus on getting ready
for the disciplinary hearing.

If you'd like her to be disbarred,

a couple of mistakes won't do.

Unless the hearing is being held
after two or more...

prior disciplinary actions,

or what she did was
unacceptable to the point...

that she should be deemed unfit to
carry out her duties as a lawyer.

What Soo Jae did
was unacceptable. Was it not?

And she is not capable of
performing her duties properly.

Right. She clearly can't do her job.

And what she did was beyond unacceptable.

Here are some disbarment cases.

Violations of rules regarding decorum,

violations of rules against name lending,

opening a firm with
a non-lawyer, and so on.

They had violated various rules,

and they were only disbarred after
all the details were verified.

Some of them appealed against the decision,

and the Ministry of Justice
sided with them.

No. In her case, the Ministry of Justice
will dismiss her appeal.

We must make sure she is
disbarred permanently.

Yes. Sure thing, sir.

I'll cast my net wide and find
anything and everything we can use.

As you know, I handled
many sensitive matters...

when I was in the
Special Investigation Division.

I already spoke with one member
of the disciplinary committee.

Put your worries to rest.

Look into every case she
worked on after joining TK,

and talk to every associate that she fired.

Oh Soo Jae. We must finish her off
once and for all.

Yes, sir.

Also,

look into the cases that she worked on...

before she joined TK as well.

If worst comes to worst,

that's what we'll use.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, I wish we could fill in
just two more blanks.

We've figured out how
Jeon Na Jung and Kang Eun Seo met.

We've also figured out that
Chairman Choi Tae Guk...

was behind the deaths of
Hong Seok Pal and Park So Young.

I believe this is enough
to move public opinion.

The public will demand an investigation,

and the prosecution
won't be able to neglect it.

That's enough to turn the tables.

My gosh, Professor Oh!

Thanks for all your hard work.

(Request for Disciplinary Action)

This is my fight now.

Whether I win or lose...

Regardless of which side
comes crumbling down...

I got this.

They don't even know their place.

Those shameless idiots are
trying so hard to crawl up.

They have no idea that they're
all in the palm of my hand.

(Mr. Ha: Sir, my son is...)

Justice Minister nominee Baek Jin Ki's
confirmation hearing...

will be held this morning at
the National Assembly Hall.

- Baek Jin Ki is here!
- The Great People Party...

stated that they plan to
thoroughly investigate...

the Geummyeong Savings Bank bribery case.

Justice Minister nominee
Baek has requested...

TK Law Firm's Chairman Choi Tae Guk
to be brought in as his witness.

- Tell us!
- Just a comment, please!

Father, the bloodstain analysis results
will be out shortly.

I'll bring it to the confirmation hearing.

- There she is!
- She's here.

(Korean Bar Association)

Do you agree with the decision
to hold this hearing?

Is it true that you engaged in
unlawful deeds while working at TK?

Did you propose deals to
make sure you'd win the trials?

Did you tell your students...

that you'd deliberately make them
lose their first trials?

Is it true that you bribed
witnesses to win your trials?

- Tell us!
- Just a comment!

- Is it true?
- Tell us, please!

- Just a comment, please!
- Is it true?

- Please answer!
- Answer our questions.

- Say a few words.
- Just a comment, please!

(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)

(Subject Oh Soo Jae)

(Korean Bar Association)

I know better than anyone...

that you put up with
all the hours and work,

so you could rule TK Law Firm.

But Soo Jae.

Do you think I'd let all my hard work
benefit someone else?

If that's the case, I would just quit.

Here's a thing about dogs.

They must always be loyal to
their masters, know their place,

and have humility.

Only those dogs are cherished.

(Chairperson Seo Jun Myeong)

The Korean Bar Association's
disciplinary hearing...

for Ms. Oh Soo Jae will now begin.

I am lawyer Seo Jun Myeong,
the chairperson of the board.

Normally, all disciplinary hearings
are conducted in private.

However, Ms. Oh requested a public hearing,

so we have reporters from
various media outlets here today.

I'd also like to inform you that
this hearing will be broadcast live.

Did the accused receive...

the Notice and Request
for Disciplinary Action?

Yes, she did.

Then,

we will now begin the disciplinary hearing
for Ms. Oh Soo Jae.

Ms. Oh, please state your
identifying information.

Subject of the disciplinary hearing.
Disclose your personal information.

(Subject Oh Soo Jae)

Oh Soo Jae.

I was born on May 15, 1985.

I live on 23 Yulseo-ro 2-Gil.

I'm a member of the
Seoul Central Bar Association.

I'm working as a partner lawyer
at TK Law Firm...

yet.

"I, the nominee..."

"of a public office,
solemnly swear to tell the truth,"

"the whole truth and
nothing but the truth."

"Nominee Baek Jin Ki."

The breeze feels nice.

(Personal Details Report)

The subject represented Hansu Bio
for the second trial...

of the class action suit brought
by the air pollution victims...

due to the chemical-industrial complex.

We will refer to the
illegal action she committed...

regarding this case.

Lawyer Park Yeon Woo.

Please move to the witness stand.

You are reading...

the ruling of the second trial...

of the class action suit
brought to Hansu Bio.

By exposing that
the witness accepted bribes...

and that the victim was adopted,

the nature of the dispute,
the damage done by Hansu Bio,

wasn't properly addressed.

The lawyer of the victims
is here to testify.

(Witness)

My name is Park Yeon Woo.

You said the subject violated
the law during the trial.

Please elaborate.

The subject...

secretly compared Yang Ji Ho's DNA...

against his parents' DNA
without our permission.

So I argued that she ran the DNA test...

without permission and it was illegal.

Which is why I won't be submitting this.

But there's plenty of other evidence.

She definitely said she couldn't
submit it as evidence.

This proves that the subject herself
knew it was illegal.

Regarding Yang Ji Ho's case,

the subject illegally confirmed
the paternity of the victim.

She committed illegal action
a lawyer should never do.

These charges violate
Article 24.1 of Attorneys-at-Law Act,

the duty to keep the dignity
and decorum as a lawyer.

Article 24.2,

the duty not to cover up the truth
and to tell only the truth,

and Article 1.1, the duty to uphold
fundamental rights and protection.

Subject, do you admit to the charges?

Subject, do you admit to the charges?

I will not answer.

Then I'll move on.

Nominee.

You were the director...

of Judicial Research and
Training Institute in 2008.

Elaborate on the suspicion
you received 200 million won.

First of all, I would like to apologize...

to the people for causing concern.

Ma'am, the witness
who will objectively testify...

regarding the bribery suspicion
is here today.

No. You can easily give us an answer.

Why are you making someone else
to testify for you?

Do you think this hearing is a joke?

Hold on.

Assemblywoman Lee.

The witness is here.

We can just listen to the witness.

Why are you interfering?

How rude of you!
You ought to have some manners!

Be quiet!

The way you speak is
lowering our hearing's class!

- Look who's talking!
- You need to be quiet!

- How dare you?
- You should be quiet.

(Nominee of a public office)

Everyone,

quiet down!

(Head of Committee, Cho Nam Hee)

Please be quiet.

- Come on. Seriously.
- Gosh.

(Lee In Soo)

Witness, come on in.

(Witness)

My name is Choi Tae Guk.

All right. Ma'am, you may
question the witness.

Witness.

You were the leader of
the special task force team...

to investigate the corruption behind
Geummyeong Savings Bank in 2008

Elaborate on your investigation in 2008.

Back then, the nominee...

accepted the bribe.

- What?
- Be quiet.

- Gosh. Unbelievable.
- He took the bribe.

- Really?
- He took the money?

Chairman Choi.

What are you talking about?

I will make myself very clear.

In 2008, the nominee of
the Minister of Justice...

received 200 million won from
a broker named Geum Seok Chae...

for introducing the broker
to the president...

of Geummyeong Savings Bank, Geum Sae Yong.

When the bank president had to
stand trial for another case,

he even asked a judge
who was also his junior...

to go easy on the bank president.

I had no idea about this back then.

But I recently received
an anonymous letter,

disclosing this information
and came to knowledge.

I would like to apologize...

to everyone here and the people...

for not being more thorough
with my investigation.

- What?
- What is this about?

- What's going on?
- Is this true?

- What do you mean?
- What?

- What is this?
- How could he?

The birth father of Kang Eun Seo
was Director Baek Jin Ki.

She's his illegitimate child?

And Yoon Se Pil...

had been Kang Eun Seo's lover
before the incident.

What in the world...

And this.

As you instructed, I looked into
the American corporation...

that bought Chairman Han's
house in Samjung-dong.

The name of the CEO...

was Yoon Se Pil's American name.

What?

That was the day Jeon Na Jung
whose skeleton was found in...

Yeongpyeong District was murdered.

That day,

a woman in her 20s was
transported to the hospital...

in the middle of the night
after a car accident.

Baek Jin Ki.

Yoon Se Pil.

Oh Soo Jae.

How dare they?

The nominee received the bribe...

to take care of his illegitimate child
and his mistress.

And when her daughter got into
a car accident ten years ago,

he deluded himself that...

she had been in another incident
before the car accident.

Moreover, he fixated that
the location of the car accident...

was around Hansu Group's chairman,
Han Sung Bum's house.

My son who often went over to his house,

Chairman Han's son,

and the son of the presidential candidate,
Lee In Soo.

He even spread a rumour...

that the three of them were the suspects.

They are the suspects.

They kidnapped my daughter,
took her to that house,

and violated her.

And when she tried to run away,
she got into a car accident.

Now, she has a cognitive issue.

- What is this about?
- What's going on?

- That's a rumour!
- No, it's not a rumour.

Get a grip, Jin Ki.

They are the suspects.

I have evidence.

The evidence is coming.

- What are you doing?
- What is this?

- This is so irrelevant!
- What on earth is this?

- This is ridiculous.
- We can't proceed with this!

- Hey, listen.
- Come on.

- Sit back down!
- What is this?

- What's going on?
- You think this is a joke?

- Stop interfering!
- I can't believe this.

- Come on.
- What is this?

How dare you?

Did you think you could
really beat me, Jin Ki?

(Witness)

Well, when Ms. Park So Young was alive,

she told me she wanted to die.

That's how harsh she was on Ms. Park.

Was this your dream?

Becoming a lawyer
who threatens the victim...

and makes them want to kill themselves.

Was that your dream?

Why would you die?

You should live.

Curse me as you keep living.

Ms. Park was very unstable back then.

Then the subject showed
Ms. Park her family photo...

and threatened her,

saying she would expose
Ms. Park to her family.

The subject pressured Ms. Park
aggressively to say...

that she had never met An Kang Won.

Let's say you are the victim
and we go to court.

Do you think you can
beat me in court, 9th class?

Ms. Park.

You lost your sense of judgement
because you were drunk.

You never even met Congressman An.

The end. Okay?

Excuse me, sir.

The subject had to corner
Ms. Park during the meeting...

as she was representing a client
with a possible rape charge.

So there were things
the subject had to confirm.

That's the duty of a lawyer.

We have something else we must confirm.

(Subject Oh Soo Jae)

Back then,

the subject and her client
had a personal relationship.

And the subject still
cornered Park So Young.

Sir.

He can't disclose irrelevant
information to this hearing.

He's infringing on her human rights!
You must stop him.

I'm not sure. I don't think
he's infringing on her rights.

(Lawyer Song Mi Rim)

Sir.

I would like to request a recess.

I'd like to share my
disappointment for ambushing us...

with evidence we haven't confirmed...

and digressing from
the nature of this hearing.

And I'd like a recess.

(Board Member Hong Gi Pyo)

All right. We will begin
our second hearing tomorrow.

(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)

(Subject Oh Soo Jae)

- She's coming out.
- She's coming out.

Do you admit to the raised charges
during the hearing?

Is it true you illegally ran a DNA test?

Do you admit that you used
her family to threaten her?

Why did you not answer that?

- Why did you request a recess?
- Please answer us!

- A comment, please.
- What is the truth?

- Answer our questions.
- Give us a comment!

The famous lawyer,
Oh Soo Jae of TK Law Firm,

will have her second
disciplinary hearing tomorrow.

According to our sources,
the board is considering...

permanent disbarment as her penalty.

I'm reporting from the hearing.

Baek Jin Ki's nomination hearing
for the Minister of Justice...

was held at the National Assembly Hall.

It's been confirmed that
the nominee received...

a bribe from a savings bank.

A random fire broke out at
a house in Samjung-dong...

which used to belong to
Hansu Group's chairman, Han Sung Bum.

Screens had been installed
outside the house...

I should have set
the house on fire ages ago.

That's why that rat, Yoon Se Pil,
bought that house.

I'm more shocked by Baek Jin Ki.

He pretended to be dense.

But that jerk had been aiming
for our heads this whole time.

No. The most ridiculous one was Oh Soo Jae.

That little wench joined hands
with them, you know.

Come on in.

Gosh, Chairman Choi. Come on in.

You've been everywhere today.
What a busy man.

Gosh.

When did you prepare everything?

You're indeed extraordinary.

Have a seat, Mr. Hope.

You want me to announce
that I'm not selling?

If I could, I would want to
destroy that rat, Yoon Se Pil.

But if we cancel it,
we'll be providing the cause.

On top of that, what about the penalty?

It's 800 billion won.

And you will have to pay
three times the penalty as well...

because of the contract Yoon Se Pil
and Oh Soo Jae conspired together.

You don't have to pay a single penny.

Not even a single penny?

Is that possible?

Doesn't he have to at least
pay back the down payment?

Article 9.5 of the contract,
cancellation of the contract.

"If the buyer provides a cause..."

"to break the mutual trust..."

"or a risk that might
damage the reputation,"

"the seller can cancel the contract."

"Under this clause,
the penalty and the down payment..."

"will be vested in the seller."

Go on.

Yoon Se Pil broke our trust.

Right.

He concealed his agenda
of bringing us down.

This became the reason our trust
would never be restored.

I already looked into
the legal side of this plan.

You should make an official statement.

And you can keep 400 billion won.

You're about to get 400 billion won...

without doing anything.

Hold on a second.

Gosh. This is crazy, Chairman Choi.

You made 400 billion won!

What a relief. We can
split that among ourselves.

- Gosh.
- Thank you.

They look like a bunch
of defeated soldiers.

How are they going to
survive tomorrow's hearing?

I heard all of them would be
going in as her special lawyers.

I'm worried.

But doesn't it look like they are
all waiting for something?

Right.

What about your son?
Did you send him off well?

Thanks to your generosity,

I was able to send him off well.

I lost my granddaughter,
so I'm miserable too.

But we must continue to live.

The confirmation hearing and
the disciplinary hearing are all hectic.

What did you want to tell me?

Thanks to your help, I was able
to stop Baek Jin Ki, Yoon Se Pil,

and Soo Jae from bringing me down.

But if this doesn't turn out
the way I envision,

I need you to take the fall for everything.

For what happened to Park So Young,
Hong Seok Pal, No Byung Chul,

Jeon Na Jung from ten years ago,

and what happened to Kang Eun Seo?

Yes, sir. I'll take the fall
for everything.

My son didn't have a mother...

and only suffered in his life
because he had me as his father.

Now that he's not here,

I have no regrets about this world.

Okay.

If you do this for me,
I'll take care of you.

You don't have to worry about that.

Next news.

- Oh Soo Jae's second hearing...
- Will you explain yourself today?

- will be broadcast all over Korea.
- Do you think this is fair?

- In the first hearing,
- What do you think about that?

she wasn't able to clarify the
suspicions brought against her.

- You think the hearing is unfair?
- So she asked for a recess.

There's a possibility...

that she may face a serious suspension...

such as permanent disbarment
at the second hearing.

Candidate Lee In Soo announced
that his son, Lee Si Hyuk,

had nothing to do with the incident...

Nominee Baek referred to
when the nominee accused...

his son of being a suspect.

He said some people are slandering him
before the election...

Hansu Group made
an official announcement...

that they would be cancelling
the contract with SP Partners.

According to Article 9.5 of our contract,

this is considered a
cause for cancellation.

So we are cancelling the contract...

and keeping the down payment
as the penalty.

According to the confidentiality clause,

we cannot disclose the cause of
the broken trust from Mr. Yoon.

I hope you can all be understanding.

Moreover, as for the
future sell-off of Hansu Bio,

we will have an internal review first...

and hold another press conference.

Hello.

We will now begin the
second disciplinary hearing...

for Oh Soo Jae.

(Live broadcast of disciplinary hearing
for Oh Soo Jae)

The subject's lawyer will
supplement her argument...

for the first agenda
we dealt with yesterday.

This is regarding Yang Ji Ho's case...

during the air pollution lawsuit
against Hansu Bio.

Regardless of the results,

the subject helped the victim get away
from his abusive parents.

So she was able to protect
the boy's human rights.

After Yang Ji Ho was
separated from his parents,

he was sent to an adoption agency.

And a worker from the agency
is here to testify.

Witness, please move to the witness stand.

I'm a social worker.
My name is Park Jung Min.

Right after the trial,
I got a call from Ms. Oh.

She said that she would
like to sponsor Ji Ho.

She's been sponsoring Ji Ho...

ever since the trial.

And she's been giving our agency
legal advice for free.

That's not the nature of the charge.

The nature of this problem is...

the subject committed misconduct
during Yang Ji Ho's trial.

Right. Just because she
started to sponsor the boy,

it doesn't undo her misconduct
of infringing on his rights.

However, it does make sense...

that she protected the boy's rights,
instead of infringing on them.

Ms. Shim Min Joo,
what are you talking about?

Will you argue that the subject
also protected Ms. Park's rights,

instead of infringing on them?

Mr. Seo, why would you
compare that to this case?

What did you say?

That's what you're doing.

Ms. Shim, what did you just say?

Mr. Seo, you haven't changed.
Let's just drop it here.

- Ms. Shim!
- Stop it.

Stop it.

(Board Member Shim Min Joo)

(Board Chair Seo Jun Myeong)

(Subject Oh Soo Jae)

Mr. Seo.

Thank you for bringing up
Ms. Park's death first.

(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)

What's this?

I'm telling you the true nature
of Ms. Park's death.

The nature is that you cornered
Park So Young too aggressively,

so you did something you
shouldn't have as a lawyer.

That's why...

That's why Ms. Park So Young died?

Do you still believe that?

No. Hong Seok Pal murdered Park So Young.

Hong Seok Pal didn't murder Park So Young.

It was...

Chairman Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm.

(Why Her?)

You don't have any evidence
that he killed her!

There's no evidence.
It's a groundless accusation.

I would like to request Kim Dong Gu,

the defendant of the trial, as a witness.

Kim Dong Gu? He's here?

I'm Kim Dong Gu.

His murder charge was proven
because of his fingerprints!

- Did you find out?
- Yes, we did.

I hope everyone faces
punishment they all deserve.

Everything has unfolded
right before your eyes.

Go see it for yourself.
