(The hopeful Dream Home Village becomes a reality.)
The Social Responsibility Foundation is accepting donations...
for their Dream Home Village project.
But I received a tip that the money is being used elsewhere.
These are the people running the project.
(Social Responsibility Foundation)
Where the donations are being used,
and what the real purpose of this project is.
To anyone who gives us a tip,
I will compensate you with my own money.
That's my promise to you.
Thank you.
Kang Yo Han, that punk.
Did he just put a bounty on the head of state?
My own TV station broadcasted my face...
because of something like this?
Chairman Park, that's not the issue here.
He just declared war against his country.
This is a rebellion. It's civil war!
He slandered his head of state?
Did we take the working class' hard-earned money?
That doesn't make sense.
In order to save the poor,
I donated my precious money.
And this is what I get for being nice?
What's with Kang Yo Han? Is he a communist?
What's Mr. Seo doing?
He just sent his secretary here.
What is he going to do about this?
With all due respect,
I think you're too infuriated.
It's a groundless accusation, right?
Am I wrong?
Of course, it's groundless.
There's a bite in your words.
Watch it.
How could he think we would do that?
Right. We wouldn't dare to touch that money.
You kidnapped Jang Ki Young, didn't you?
I had to talk to him.
"We should put up a show in front of the whole nation."
"Or you'll be in trouble, too." Is this what you told him?
You should talk nicely.
I explained it differently but it was the gist.
Differently?
Did you really help him because you felt so sorry for him?
You told him you'd pay him afterward...
if he testifies as you wanted, didn't you?
It's possible I felt bad for him from the beginning.
So don't jump to a quick conclusion.
Then you weren't the one who attacked Soo Hyun.
Can you believe it now...
that I'm not that kind of person.
I think you are that kind of person.
- But I guess you didn't have to. - I didn't have to?
You figured out Cha Kyung Hee got the account details.
So you kidnapped Jang Ki Young in a hurry.
And it didn't matter if Soo Hyun takes the bankbook or not.
That's why you didn't touch her.
You're such a smart guy...
so why were you so furious that day?
I only took Elijah out for a moment.
And you went furious too.
So I don't think it's your place to judge me.
Then who attacked Soo Hyun?
At the least, it wouldn't be someone who favors me.
What do you think Chief Kang is up to?
Isn't the foundation one of the good guys?
They help the poor and do volunteer work.
Judge Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you.
What?
How could you not take me with you?
A secret party with the key members of the foundation?
You two went to a party like that without me?
Chief Kang even got me a nice dress for that charity event.
I'm really sorry.
Is that the only thing you're mad about among all the other things?
Of course, interfering with the trial...
is very inappropriate.
Should we just release it to the press?
There's a reporter I know well.
A reporter?
Yes, she works for a fashion magazine called "Bling Bling".
No, never mind.
Okay. Let's calm down and think about this.
So you're saying the president and the rich people were there...
trying to interfere with Lee Young Min's trial, right?
And it seemed they were sharing information for profit.
Yes.
- I'm sorry I didn't tell... - What about Chief Kang?
- What? - What did he say to them?
Do you think he's with them?
Why aren't you saying anything about Chief Kang?
I can't be sure.
He didn't say anything at the party.
But considering how he declared war against them...
I don't know...
if he's really cool or if he's trying to look cool.
It's true that he gave money to the witness.
How can a judge do that?
He was just putting on a show in front of the reporters.
Then he suddenly asked people to vote on whether they trust him.
It feels like he's deceiving people.
I was a really big fan of his.
He was confident and righteous.
And he seemed so shinny to me.
But I'm not sure he still does.
You should be ambitious.
On the live court show that I watched,
you were the biggest star.
Twinkle, twinkle.
If you want a bright star shining in the sky...
If you desperately...
want it,
you should change yourself first.
In order to reach the star,
become a bigger...
person.
I'm perfect.
- Sun Ah. - Yes.
Your skin is gorgeous today.
A compliment coming from you? What a surprise?
Is it because you have a guilty conscience?
It's because I'm jealous.
By the way, what should I do with this?
It's the bankbook I took from Yoon Soo Hyun.
Oh, the bankbook?
Get rid of it.
Gosh, you're such a nasty witch.
Why would you make me take it if you don't need it?
Who says I don't need it?
I needed it to create a story.
A story?
Enough of that.
What comes next is more important.
Watch every move of the old guys from the foundation.
Not Kang Yo Han?
Unexpectedly, the wolf broke into the ranch...
in a very violent way.
The sheep will get scared and go violent too.
Okay.
Oh, by the way.
I think you'll be giving the Healing Mentor Lecture...
that will be posted on the website.
Me?
Kang Yo Han put Mr. Seo's face on the screen...
saying he embezzled the donations for the people.
If he gives the lecture, it'll only draw the reporters' attention.
Gosh, I feel awkward to give a cheesy lecture.
Jae Hee.
Yes?
If you were a little faster, we would've taken Jang Ki Young.
Right?
I'm sorry.
I didn't know the judge was going to take him.
Do it right.
You can, can't you?
Yes.
I won't make a mistake.
We are almost done.
You know that, right?
If I see you dozing off while Mr. Seo gives the lecture,
you'll be in trouble.
Yes, ma'am.
Gosh, I'm sick and tired of you girls.
Hello, Director.
Are you from the foundation?
Why is Mr. Seo so late?
Hello, I came here on behalf of Mr. Seo today.
She is Jung Sun Ah, the executive director of the foundation.
Oh, she is?
It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
You're so pretty.
How old are you?
I'm 18 years old.
She is pretty, isn't she?
Go up now.
Come on. Go.
Excuse me, ma'am.
They're all orphans or teenage runaways.
So they're troubled kids.
Be careful when you get closer. They might steal your valuables.
They're troubled kids?
Excuse me?
You must go through a lot.
Not really. Shall we go upstairs?
(Social Responsibility Foundation Healing Mentor Lecture)
(Sun)
Gosh, I have no idea.
(Sun Ah)
That's my name.
"Sun" means "good", and "Ah" means a "child".
I'm a grown-up, but I still have to be a good child.
My mom must've hoped...
that I'd grow up to be an ordinary, good person.
Then why did she do that to me?
If that was her wish, why did she beat me up...
every time she was drunk?
I'm sorry, guys.
Seeing you guys brings back memories.
But I should stop being silly.
My mom did that too.
She did?
Usually, she was nice like an angel.
But she changed completely when she was drunk.
She'd start crying and...
It must've been tough for her.
She must've been going through a lot.
I didn't understand back then, I do now.
Her husband abandoned his wife and children.
She had to work her bottom off to make ends meet.
Still, she shouldn't have done that.
She shouldn't have treated her child that way no matter what.
I believed my mom hated me...
because I was a bad kid.
I swore, got in fights,
and got in trouble for stealing.
But I had no choice back then.
Everyone around me insulted,
teased, and beat me.
And I was always hungry.
But the thing is,
when I was 12,
I started working for a wealthy family.
The boys in that house were so adorable and nice.
They smelled good and never swore.
They glowed from head to toe.
If I'd been as good as them,
would my mom not have beaten me?
Would she have loved me?
Well, anyway,
what can you do to be a good child then?
You have to become rich.
You can only be nice if you can make ends meet.
The world is a jungle.
When you have to prey on others to survive,
how can you possibly be nice?
First, survive by all means.
If others hit you, bite them.
If you need something, steal it.
In addition,
the world is a tougher place for lonely girls like you.
Beasts are everywhere.
No matter how educated and respected they are,
all men are the same.
When those scumbags come on to you,
what are you supposed to do?
Report to the police.
Wrong answer. Take advantage of it.
The law is never on our side.
So secure evidence by all means.
Record it if you can.
And then...
torment him until the day he dies.
Threaten to destroy everything he has...
until he becomes as tame as a dog.
Do you understand?
- Yes. - Yes.
(Social Responsibility Foundation Healing Mentor Lecture)
Yes, go ahead.
You've become such a great person.
Does your mom love you now?
She passed away when I was 12.
She got completely drunk...
and fell down some stairs in the neighborhood.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's all in the past now.
Your lecture was so refreshing and realistic.
It really touched me, Ms. Jung.
I haven't given many lectures.
I'm sure it showed.
Not at all. You were amazing.
Speaking of which, please give another touching lecture soon.
Sure.
I'd love the opportunity.
Of course.
How did you find me?
Did you put a tracker on me or something?
I know you already found it. Why are you even asking?
I get to decide where I go and who I meet.
Who gives you the right?
I'm your guardian whether you like it or not.
A guardian? You treat me like some animal you keep.
Haven't you learned a lesson yet?
No one approaches a person without a motive.
Aren't you tired yet?
You always act like you're the smartest one,
but you follow anyone who shows the slightest kindness...
and end up being used and even kidnapped. You're such a fool.
Stop it.
Is it her fault to feel lonely?
You shouldn't talk to her like that.
Are you teaching me how to talk?
She's under my protection.
Exactly. You're the only one she has.
Can you be a little more honest?
This is funny.
How long have you even been here?
Stop talking like you know everything.
I apologize if I was out of line.
Let's go.
Secretary.
Yes, sir.
How am I supposed to talk to a teenage girl?
Let me see.
Experts say you should listen from the other person's perspective.
Also, use positive language to improve the self-esteem of...
Forget it.
Just order some books on the subject for me.
Yes, sir.
You asked me why I was a restaurant owner's son for 16 years,
remember?
That's when my parents...
passed away.
When I was 16.
Oh, is that right?
Why? Did they have an accident?
They got conned by a horrible con artist...
and lost everything they had.
My father took his own life.
My mom collapsed from the shock and eventually...
I see.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
I don't know what to say in a situation like this.
It's okay. It's been a long time.
But it's not something you can forget easily.
You're right.
It was very hard, wasn't it?
It was the same for me.
I hated being home alone.
So I slept anywhere and hung out with anyone.
I was lonely.
Like some stray dog.
You're strong, Elijah.
- I am? - Of course.
You endured everything alone in this big house.
You're an incredible person.
What are you saying?
It doesn't suit you to say such cringy things.
Aren't you usually cynical?
Was it obvious?
It's not easy to say things I don't mean.
Do you want to die?
You pack a hard punch.
I wonder who you take after.
Good night.
"Smile when you speak, and they'll be less stubborn."
("How to Speak with Your Adolescent Child")
I have to smile while I speak.
I'm going to smile while I talk to her.
Smile.
What is this? It was you?
What's with that face?
What do you want?
I have to smile while I speak.
- Well... - If you're not here for a reason...
- How was your day? - What?
So did you have a good day?
Or did you have a bad day?
Is there anything you want to discuss with me?
Well... So...
What is it?
Who is the evil jerk who conned...
Ga On's parents?
You want to talk about Ga On again?
Right. I have to smile while I talk.
He scammed poor people out...
of hundreds of millions of dollars through a pyramid scheme.
There were over ten victims who committed suicide from it.
- Really? - Yes.
I see.
Right, so...
My gosh. Secretary!
Secretary. Are you playing with me right now?
All I need to do is follow what the book says?
Sir. Stress is bad for your health.
In the kitchen...
- What are you talking about? - Make sure you take one pill a day.
You must take care of yourself at your age.
Forget it. Get lost.
(Multivitamins)
(Blue House)
I will get started now.
Regarding the unexpected remark...
that Judge Kang Yo Han made during the last live court show,
we are carefully looking into it from all perspectives...
It's fake news!
Hello. I, Heo Joong Se,
overcame all sorts of slanderous tricks to get to this position.
Now, a judge is spreading false rumors about me.
How can our country run like this?
Can Kang Yo Han, a man who spreads wild rumors during difficult times,
truly call himself a citizen of our great nation, Korea?
To be honest,
I have been receiving a lot of reports about Judge Kang.
I was told that Judge Kang...
is conspiring with a foreign nation to put our society in disarray.
That he's not a pure-blooded Korean.
In other words, he's different from us.
On top of that, I received reports...
that Judge Kang has been receiving funds from foreign countries.
For the sake of national security, if anyone gives us...
any information about Judge Kang Yo Han,
depending on the quality of the tip,
we will provide you with a significant reward.
We'll be sure to reward you heavily.
Will the reward come out of your own pocket?
- That is all. - Please answer our questions.
He's going to go that far to get information on Judge Kang?
We will organize the contents of his speech and announce it later.
Are you sure you're not going too far?
It's not like politics is a comedy.
People will have something to say about it.
The more comedic it is, the better.
- What? - If they get used to...
the comedy and competition,
they won't see the complicated things in front of them.
Remember how I said that I would reward depending on quality?
That's creating competition.
I'm just adding entertainment to it and moving forward.
My gosh. Who can stop you?
I'm going to get them, so they can't come to their senses.
Will it be okay?
What?
Ten years ago, he was a famous actor who was known for his blunt remarks,
but now he's the president.
Yes, that's right.
Now it's the president, Minister of Justice, media, and conglomerates.
That's pretty much all of Korea.
Right. You just picked a fight with the country.
Are you okay with that?
Do you know how they ended up gaining their power?
Through hypocrisy.
(Your help will create a happy Korea.)
When in trouble, people are moved by the smallest kindness.
After the pandemic, the foundation began expanding its charity.
But they didn't spend the most money on disaster relief.
What did they spend it on?
Advertisement.
They used all sorts of media outlets to advertise and exaggerate.
Noblesse oblige.
They created an image of the wealthy taking social responsibility.
They used that as a weapon to take over the administration.
What do you think they can do now?
Collect their capital.
No, it goes beyond that.
The Dream Home Village that they've been working extensively on...
is just a means of creating a large asylum using citizens' donations...
to put the homeless, the poor, and those with social discontent...
all in one place and get them out of sight. After that...
they will start a widespread redevelopment of the city.
I bet they purchased the land for it for cheap under a borrowed land.
Did you get your hands on definitive evidence?
You know that isn't easy.
Those people would easily blow up my judge's chambers without hesitation.
And yet you blew up the issue in front of the entire nation?
- It's fun. - What?
It should at least be fun...
if I'm standing at the edge.
Is this fun for you?
(It will be realized now.)
Don't you think it's irresponsible?
What about Elijah?
Did you even think about her?
Always.
Constantly.
Give me all the information you have on the foundation.
Are you going to help me?
Just promise me one thing.
What is it?
Subornation of perjury, abduction, blackmail,
and making of a fool of good citizens with your lies.
I can't become a shady law-breaker.
Not in front of my parents who died because of a conman,
nor in front of Soo Hyun.
A judge...
(It will be realized now. A just Korea.)
has the most power when they do what the law says, sir.
"You can't become a shady law-breaker."
"A judge has the most power when they do..."
"what the law says."
Okay then.
(It will be realized now. A just Korea)
You gained the public's interest by raising doubt,
so what's your next plan?
Division.
(Minbo Group)
There's nothing we can do if those who have power stick together.
We need to shake them up.
Can't we start with something like this?
(Minbo Group)
(Lowest income, extra work, Minbo Group is evil)
(Min Yong Shik must resign!)
Okay, I understand. Bye.
What floor is the chairman's office?
Judge Kang?
It's the 20th floor.
(Lowest income, extra work. They kill you.)
This is the first floor.
Judge Kang Yo Han suddenly...
Sir. The chairman is in a meeting.
- I'll wait. - Oh, will you?
Then come this way.
- You can return to your work. - Thank you.
Seven minutes and 30 seconds.
You're leaving, sir?
- I got what I needed. - I see.
(Minbo, 297-6 Namsandae-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul)
Goodbye.
You told me to call if something happened.
(Min Yong Shik must resign!)
Five, four,
three, two, one.
And a half, and a quarter.
(HMBN Chairman Park Du Man)
Hello, sir.
Come on, talk to me, Judge Kang.
Is there something I don't know?
You know I'm always on your side, right?
That thing about buying witnesses.
It was Cha Kyung Hee's idea.
Can you handle this?
You made an enemy out of the foundation.
Do you have any questions for me?
I can tell you everything I know.
You're sucking your fingers.
You're hungry, aren't you?
I was inconsiderate. Get something nice to eat.
Get out!
Eat something expensive!
We all work for a living, don't we?
You can go ahead.
It's me.
My chairman is with someone.
So,
everything you talked about with Park Du Man.
Everything he said is best to assume is a lie.
Whatever he gave you, it's fake.
He opens his mouth to lie.
Anything he says is a lie.
Since he was a kid...
All day long, he'd think of ways to beat me.
This happened in middle school.
When he was in middle school, he told people he was in college.
Think about it.
Why would I have to spend the foundation's money?
If anyone in the world did that, it would be Min Yong Shik.
Do you know how he nabbed his wife?
Ms. Pi.
He took her to a club, got her drunk, and then...
Minbo Group right now...
has a huge financial problem.
I'll get you the foundation's financial documents.
I have it prepared already.
You don't have to worry. Everything is ready.
I'll give it all to you.
Whatever Min Yong Shik gave you, you need to know they're fake.
Don't fall for it.
- Should I not? - No.
Eat up. Let's talk as we eat.
Try this. The food here's good.
(Standard Subcontractor Contract for Construction Industry)
(Land Purchase Agreement)
(Construction Business Plan)
Judge Kang, can you come with us?
The VIP wishes to see you.
I'm surprised, Mr. President.
About what?
I didn't think you'd invite me in that manner.
It was scary.
They acted like they could've buried me.
Why would you say that?
You put my photo up for the world to see...
and ruined my reputation.
It would be too hard to do something to you.
But the thing is,
that is why...
people would think there's no way I'd touch you.
Would the head of state...
take action during an uproar?
Wouldn't that be fun?
While people wonder, time will pass.
If I were to release a few celebrity scandals,
people will forget about it in no time.
Like goldfish.
It's a reasonable scenario.
You're nervous.
The great Judge Kang Yo Han.
You look good in a suit.
You seem to be busy these days,
meeting this fool and that.
I am. Just like right now.
This fool and that fool.
What on earth did they give you?
The scenario I just mentioned.
Doesn't it sound fun?
I could make that scenario happen right this moment.
If that's the case...
(Heo Joong Sae's How Refreshing)
Oh? What...
Greetings, subscribers of Heo Joong Sae's How Refreshing.
It's a pleasure to meet you. Today, Mr. President invited me.
- Thank you, Mr. President. - Is this live?
Wow, so many people joined and we just got started.
We're getting lots of comments too.
Yes, I am Kang Yo Han the judge.
Thank you, Mr. President, for changing your mind.
You promise to take a close look into the foundation's corruption?
He invited me to the Blue House...
and suggested we give a joint statement.
- I appreciate it, Mr. President. - Well, Judge Kang...
Mr. President and I will find out...
how every dollar of your donations is being used.
That's it for today.
Let's shout the slogan together.
- A total change of Korea! - Korea.
- Heo Joong Sae's How Refreshing. - Refreshing.
If you love our country, subscribe, comment, and like.
- Also, turn on notifications. - Notifications.
Wave at the camera.
Put on a smile.
A big smile.
Wow, is your analysis already over?
- Impressive. - It looked complicated at first,
- but I've found a weak spot. - A weak spot?
PR. They've been doing too much PR.
They've been pouring out articles saying the foundation has donated...
10, 20 million dollars to the Dream Home project,
but the amount is just too big.
The project should be able to be covered...
solely by the donations from the public so far.
They've been advertising about their donations...
while the project is covered by donations from the public?
It's just my suspicion.
We'll need the foundation's financial data to be sure.
The data from Park Du Man and Min Yong Shik...
are fake, aren't they?
Yes, they both fabricated the data...
so it'd look like the other embezzled money.
I didn't expect those sly dogs to give up data easily anyway.
Did we get any tip-offs?
Nothing useful.
They were all pranks or lies from people who are after the reward.
We should still pay them.
- Pardon? - I mean the reward.
Why should we?
What's important is the number, not the content.
Put up the number of tip-offs all over the Internet.
Make it look like something huge is going on.
Do you know what you need to fool someone?
Confidence. You should remain confident at all times.
People usually fall for it.
You sound like an experienced con artist.
It slipped my mind.
You've been personally affected by a con artist.
But isn't this a little different?
Have you ever seen a con artist who saves the world with his own money?

Don't do it.
Don't ruin your life over a crook like him.
He's not worth it, Ga On.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
I'm being discharged soon. You don't have to come every day.
It's a hassle.
Weren't you complaining all morning that he wasn't here?
Shouldn't you protect a patient's privacy?
Maybe it was someone else.
You did that?
Anyway, what on earth is Kang Yo Han up to?
This looks like a total fraud to me.
What?
You should rest up.
Your recovery is more important.
How can I rest up? I've got so much digging to do.
The false testimony,
the church fire,
and Elijah. Is she doing okay?
It must've been too much to deal with...
at such a young age.
Did she remind you of me when I was little?
You're shameless.
How could you compare yourself to that adorable girl?
Can't you look at yourself more objectively?
Yes, ma'am.
You're obviously fine. I'll get going.
I can't stand you, but you're still my guest.
Do you want some apples?
I can't believe you, Soo Hyun.
Show me how well you can peel an apple.
All right. Let's see here.
What's wrong?
- Soo Hyun. - Yes?
I'll do it.
If you peel it, there won't be anything left to eat.
Gosh, you're one cold punk.
Judge Kang Yo Han has received...
over 20 tips regarding the corruption...
of Social Responsibility Foundation.
Other than stating that they are all false,
the foundation has not released any other official statements.
Over 100,000 petitions to reveal the truth have been submitted...
to the Blue House National Petition.
Don't get distracted and get back to work.
I heard you can say anything, and they'll give you money.
I heard it's a lot of money too.
It's true.
I have a lot of expenses next month, should I try it too?
No way. What if you get caught?
They actively support Kang Yo Han? Those jerks in the opposition party.
"The live court show was a means to distract the citizens."
"It could violate human rights."
That's what they said as they tried to act so high and mighty.
That's what politics is like.
The enemy of your enemies is an ally.
More importantly,
what did you two give Kang Yo Han?
It's nothing. It really isn't.
I gave him something to mess with him and confuse him.
While you're at it, were you hoping it messed with me too?
Gosh, what do you take me for?
In any case, Kang Yo Han...
will just dig himself into a deeper hole by looking into it.
What about you, Chairman Min? What did you give him?
Are you planning on getting into the broadcasting business with me gone?
That's a good idea.
- You punk. What are you saying? - Let go.
Who do you think...
would like what's going on here?
The walls of a castle are broken from the inside out.
Fix it before it gets too late.
Kang Yo Han will keep going without giving you a chance to breathe.
(Sir, Judge Kang is holding a press conference and airing it live.)
What is this?
(Live Court Show Press Conference, Will They Reveal the Corruption?)
(Number of informants)
We keep getting tips.
Many people are being courageous and stepping up...
to help reveal the truth.
Thanks to the courageous informants,
the behavior of the foundation is changing too.
Did you all watch the president's YouTube video?
Korea's Total Change.
- Heo Joong Sae's How Refreshing. - How refreshing!
There's something that's even more surprising.
Two executive directors of the foundation gave me something...
and said it was their financial records.
- What is that? - What did he give him?
- What's in the envelopes? - What could it be?
- What is that? - He gave him something too?
It's very interesting.
They gave a subcontract to a company run by a family member,
and they bought a site for a future business venture in advance.
As it happens, the documents they gave me had opposing information,
so I need to look into it further.
However, this isn't the only problem. Let's have a look.
(Social Responsibility Foundation Dream Home Village Donations)
(Donations: 64,970,048 dollars)
(Status of Donations)
Where is all of the money that the directors have donated...
being used?
(Status of Donations)
According to Judge Kim Ga On,
who has gone through all of the foundation's financial records,
the amount that they claimed to have donated,
and the amount that was received by the foundation...
don't add up.
Did you really get your hands on the foundation's financial records?
Yes.
A courageous person on the inside sent it to us.
If the amounts don't add up,
does that mean someone embezzled that money?
If they didn't embezzle it,
then they never donated anything from the beginning.
(Live Court Show Press Conference, Will They Reveal the Corruption?)
Did Judge Kim Ga On participate in revealing this as well?
Yes, that's right.
As you may all know,
(I am against it.)
Judge Kim Ga On is known as an uptight man of principle.
But I'm sure you were unaware of this.
Oh, my.
What?
("We Just Wanted to Help... Couple Dies After Being Conned")
This article is about Judge Kim Ga On's family.
("We Just Wanted to Help... Couple Dies After Being Conned")
Judge Kim overcame such hardship.
That's why he couldn't stand by and watch...
the nation get fooled by such hypocrisy.
After we take all measures to protect the people who sent us tips,
we will reveal all of the contents of the reports we received.
It'll take place in one week right here.
Thank you,
Do you have an informant from the foundation?
Do you know the informant?
Judge Kim. Is that article really about your parents?
- Could you tell us more? - Is it true?
- Would you like to add anything? - Please give us a statement.
Judge Kim.
- Could you tell us your position? - Can you tell us about the records?
- Judge Kim? - Judge Kim!
- Judge Kim. - Excuse me.
- Hold on. Wait a second. - Do you know the informant?
- Can you tell us more? - Hold on.
- Judge Kim! - Judge Kim!
Was this your plan all along?
Was I just a tool for your scheme?
How are you any different from them?
Is it okay to use whatever you want to achieve your goal?
"You can't become a shady law-breaker."
"A judge has the most power when they do what the law says."
Don't you think you're being a bit naive?
This is a war.
What are you going to reveal next week?
The financial records you perjured? The tips that don't exist?
Even if it takes time and is hard,
we should punish them properly according to the law.
Really? I guess you were satisfied.
I guess you were really moved by the strict punishment...
the fraud who killed your parents received.
- Shut your mouth. - Just like you said,
they followed all the principles and processes...
and endured the tricks laid out by the expensive lawyers.
They endured the trial as it got drawn out,
and the sentence he received was 17 years in prison.
Is that it? Is that what justice is to you?
Don't talk like that!
Ordinary citizens like my parents...
were a part of the jury and they contemplated it for a long time.
Despite all the tricks,
they came to a conclusion in accordance with the law.
That's the system.
Even if we hate it, that's the system.
Is that what you had to believe in order to live?
Is that what Yoon Soo Hyun and Min Jung Ho...
the two people you have left in your life told you?
Did you suppress your desire to stab and kill him and end your life...
by holding onto that belief?
Is that it? Is it?
Don't come to your own conclusions.
Who do you think you are?
There's something I want to show you.
What... What happened? What is going on?
That's impossible.
It's impossible to take out the financial records.
Chairman Min. Can you take responsibility for this?
What if all of this is true?
He said he'd reveal it in a week.
The entire nation will be watching. What are you going to do?
The viewership ratings will be off the charts.
That's enough!
My gosh, you punk!
I'm pretty good at playing cards,
and I can tell Kang Yo Han is bluffing.
He doesn't have anything, so he's coming out stronger.
Excuse me.
(Social Responsibility Foundation)
Kang Yo Han is capable of making cards if he doesn't have any.
Without batting an eyelid.
Then we must cut off his hands!
It's a huge game and the whole nation's watching.
You three voluntarily upped the stakes.
To reveal that Kang Yo Han is bluffing,
you must show your hands.
Are you okay with that?
Your trumped up donations aren't the only problem.
Every detail on how the Dream Home project funds were spent.
Future spending plans and...
the project's real purpose.
Ms. Jung.
I apologize.
I spoke out of line.
So what? What are you saying?
What will you do about this?
We have...
Mr. Seo, don't we?
(Fasting and Praying for Korea, Do Not Enter)
Thanks to Kang Yo Han,
will I get the chance to get back up?
He's here.
- Mr. Seo. - Mr. Seo.
There's no way to meet you when you're in prayer.
It can't have been easy to join us.
You all look dreadful.
Why?
Is this issue getting you worked up?
Yes. It's such a mess.
We must sort it out before it's too late.
I have employees who are getting ideas.
I will deal with it.
If you were to help us,
we'd have nothing to worry about.
That's right. Mr. Seo, in our country,
you are the only person who can sort this out.
Yes. You're the only one.
The last remaining true teacher.
An elder of society.
You're going too far.
Anyway,
if I were to speak,
the public will awaken from Kang Yo Han's trickery...
and come around.
There is no reason to react to every small allegation.
You are right.
Once we gain control of the media,
we can turn the flow and ride it out.
I'm so impressed.
You hit the nail on the head.
Still, we need...
something to toss them.
Something to toss?
The people need something like a bone...
to keep them quiet.
Something to bite and chew on.
If you were to name someone,
who would it be?
Come on now.
Don't we all know someone ideal?
While I remained in my room praying for our country,
someone has been handling all the foundation's business.
Do you mean Ms. Jung?
Ms. Jung does her job so carefully and thoroughly.
Doesn't she?
She's still a mere slave.
Didn't we groom her up to use her at a time like this?
How do you think we should...
put her to good use, then?
She's not the type to stay quiet if we frame her for something.
First,
we must make sure that she doesn't talk.
- Right? - Of course.
Forever.
Silence her so she'll take the fall.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Forever.
(True correction, a bright future)
What are you doing?
Get out.
(Corrections)
We're huge fans, Judge Kang.
We are...

Inmate number 70618,
Doh Young Choon. Visiting Room Seven.
Do you want me to lose my mind?
Do you want to see me strangle him?
You scumbag.
Inmate number 70618,
Doh Young Choon.
No.
He's not Doh Young Choon.
He's someone else. Something's wrong.
Inmate number 70618, he is Doh Young Choon.
He's not.
He's not Doh Young Choon.
This is impossible.
It's someone else.
He got additional charges for economic crimes...
and was sentenced to 17 years.
Name, Doh Young Choon.
(Doh Young Choon, factory worker, high school dropout)
I don't know what your story is,
but his inmate and ID number, date of imprisonment,
they all match up.
Never once,
not even for a single day have I forgotten his face.
It's not him. It's another person.
Sir, why are you in there?
Sir.
Why are you in there? Come out.
Sir!
Let's go.
(Establishment of order, promotion of morality)
The only thing that can be thoroughly manipulated...
is the system itself.
This is the system.
A system has no chance against power.
Power can control a system however it likes.
(Morality)
- Oh... - Have you been somewhere?
No.
I just stepped out for some air.
That's not good.
The air is too cold for an old man like you.
Your knees must be freezing.
No, I'm fine.
You've aged.
Is it because of me?
Because I have something on you...
and have been bullying you?
No, not at all.
It's all my fault.
I'm not in the position to blame anyone.
Are you sure?
Wow, I'm impressed.
I'd blame me.
I guess all the meditating paid off.
Remember?
When I first came here to work for you,
I was still pretty young.
Yes,
you were.
Why did you do that?
Why?
I was just a little girl who had nowhere else to go.
Stop crying. Why are you crying?
I never got the chance to cry once.
Stand up.
Let's put an end to this.
I forgive you.
Pardon?
I do. You're an important person.
It's your responsibility to save this country.
Everything's already been discussed.
It's okay. Everything will be all right.
You'll die an honorable death as the respected Chairman Seo.
It's more than you deserve.
It's a lot more...
than a pig like you deserves.
Chairman Seo Jeong Hak of Social Responsibility Foundation passed on.
It's been reported that he took his own life...
as a way to take responsibility...
for the recent donation embezzlement allegations.
All the employees involved in the embezzlement...
have destroyed all evidence and fled.
It seems that the deceased was devastated by this...
and decided to bear his cross.
Overcoming many hardships, he devoted his life...
to helping those in need and promoting the national spirit.
His death has left the entire country in grief.

I lived on so I could go back there.
As the master of the world you kicked me out of.
A monster who releases their brakes...
never stops when it's best.
What are you doing?
The show must go on.
The public's support is our only weapon.
What is Kang Yo Han's intention?
You want me to see you enjoy life so I will lose my mind!
I told you before. Any elements of risk...
You are a lot like me in this aspect.
Is that why you like me?
