[Part 3] Joseon Gunman Episode 13 Recap Hye-won visits her father in prison and asks what has changed, since he had decided to confess. Choi tells her, “I have committed no crime. Why do you say I should beg forgiveness?” She threatens to reveal the truth for him if he doesn’t, to which he says that she would be putting her own father to death. Officer Moon visits Yoon-kang in his cell and apprises him of the case: There’s no evidence against him for those murders, and his gun has not been found. As there’s no way to prove that he is Yoon-kang, he is to insist he is Hanjo. But Yoon-kang worries that going that route would only get Soo-in and Yeon-ha dragged in; he needs to prove the truth of the other side’s misdeeds. He’ll start with the officer who directed Sohn Taek-soo to make the false charge, and the man who forged Park Jin-han’s letter. Officer Moon has a hunch about the forger’s identity, a man named Jo Dal-soo. Yoon-kang says he’ll make that man confess, once he’s brought in. Yoon-kang and Choi Won-shin are brought before Min Yeong-ik for interrogation, which is a much more civilized affair this time around. He admits readily to being Park Yoon-kang, and accuses Choi of killing his father and shooting him three years ago. Furthermore, Choi confessed this all to him last night. Choi, on the other hand, baldly lies and denies everything, saying he has no idea what Yoon-kang is talking about. But his smugness fades when Min Yeong-ik informs him that his daughter admitted to overhearing the confession last night. He argues that the girl knows nothing, and that she overheard his forced confession at gunpoint. He growls a warning to Min not to drag his daughter into this… and then says very meaningfully that if she were to be involved, he might say some unexpected things. It’s a direct threat to reveal the bribe Min took from him, and Min understands it as such. Ho-kyung suggests to his superior that they call in Hye-won as a witness, saying that she’s not so tender-hearted as to be unable to handle this situation. As the only witness, she would provide valuable testimony. Choi Won-shin fumes and panics, trying to argue against it, but Min Yeong-ik orders it done. All through this, Yoon-kang clocks the exchange and seems to catch wind of something strange. He doesn’t know what it is, but he certainly looks suspicious. Yes, be suspicious! Soo-in pleads with Hye-won to reveal what she knows. Hye-won counters, “And what of my father? Are you asking me to kill my father?” Soo-in replies that it was because of her father’s deeds that Yoon-kang acted, and presses her to help. Ho-kyung sees Yoon-kang in prison to confirm that Soo-in now knows the truth of his identity. He’s upset at the thought of her being made to relive more of the pain she has already suffered, especially since Yoon-kang can do nothing while stuck here in prison. Yoon-kang vows to set things aright, and Ho-kyung says he hopes for that much, if only for Soo-in’s sake. That official accused of ordering the forgery is arrested, as is the forger Jo Dal-soo. Neither conspirator seems particularly inclined to speak, but Yoon-kang concocts a plan to elicit their confessions. He sends a message to Min Yeong-ik, who’s handling the interrogations. So both suspects are told (separately) that the other guy confessed to everything and implicated them in it. Then the bait is dangled: If they confess, they will not be punished. We see this unfolding just the way Yoon-kang predicts, down to the way the officer refuses the deal. That prompts their powerful backers to exert pressure to release the two prisoners… and Yoon-kang instructs that they be released. The moment they’re set free, their bosses will have them killed—and the police will rescue them. This is exactly what happens, and it proves to the suspects that the baddies are not going to protect them. They have no reason to keep quiet and protect them. Yoon-kang is allowed a visit to Choi Won-shin’s cell, and tells him he’ll give him a last chance to reveal the truth tomorrow. Choi laughs in his face, but Yoon-kang encourages him to think of his daughter. He argues that Hye-won will take her father’s side—but when the truth eventually does come out, she will face punishment too. “If you truly are acting for your daughter’s benefit,” Yoon-kang says, “bear the burden on your own.” Ah, I like this. It finally feels like Yoon-kang is calming down and strategizing, and it has the bad guys sweating. Minister Kim visits Choi next and says that things aren’t looking great for them, and that even if Choi is released, Lord Kim will surely have him killed. However, Minister Kim says he’s different—”I won’t abandon you, through the end.” He offers to put his brains to the figuring out this task, and Choi tips him off about the money he sent Min’s way—that makes him a weak link. source: dramabeans
