The Line, Episode 4: Trien faces pressure in a major case.
In episode 4 of the series "The Dividing Line," Triển, the Chief of the Provincial People's Committee Office, is pressured by the defendant Kỷ's lawyer to arrange a meeting with his "close friend," the Deputy Chief Prosecutor.
In the latest developments of episode 4 of the series "The Dividing Line," Trien, the Chief of the Provincial People's Committee Office, has a secret meeting with the lawyer of the defendant Ky. This meeting puts Trien in a difficult position as he is asked to arrange an important appointment related to the bribery case in the Dong San area.
The secret meeting and the warning
The bribery case involving projects in the Dongsan area became complicated when defendant Ky began revealing details about "officials providing protection and facilitating bidding." These statements risked implicating many individuals in positions of power. Facing Ky's lawyer, Trien remained calm: "I've heard about this, but the truth will be revealed by the investigating authorities."
However, the lawyer issued a warning about the seriousness of the matter: "It's true that there was interference, but it's very complicated. How far can the provincial police reach into forbidden areas? This will affect the province and the investment environment. More importantly, there will be deaths and injuries. You don't want that to happen, do you?"
Request to connect with a 'close friend'
Despite the warnings, Triển remained defiant and maintained his innocence. Seeing this, the lawyer revealed the true purpose of the meeting. He wanted Triển to arrange a meeting with Deputy Prosecutor General Bùi Hằng Thu, who was described as Triển's close friend.
The lawyer implied that Thu's refusal to stop pursuing the case could get her into serious trouble. When Triển remained unconvinced, the lawyer asked Triển to arrange a meeting with Mr. Sách.
Will Triển agree to the lawyer's proposal to protect his old friend and maintain stability in the province? The details will be revealed in episode 4 of *The Dividing Line*, airing at 9 PM tonight on VTV1.
