[bunniefuu]

Help!

Hey, wake up!

Hey!

Help.

My brother... My brother is in here too.

Get out. Go!

Wake up.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Good. Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

You've won the public over.

Your approval ratings are skyrocketing...

because you rescued these kids.

I told you not to do anything dangerous.

All we had to do was uncover the corruption within the orphanage.

Sir, I'd do anything and everything for you.

If I'd had to set myself on fire, not the orphanage,

I would've gladly done it.

The kids got hurt!

And that boy lost his memory because of the shock.

I do feel bad for the kids, but I had no choice.

[Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office]

Take your hands off...

Kim Seok Hoon's case.

Hand it over to Kang Jin.

And I'm transferring you to Division Five, where Sung h* is.

Sorry, Hee Woo.

You did all the work, but I'm the one putting the finishing touches.

I'll make sure you get some credit, so don't resent me too much.

- Sir. - Get back to work.

Yes, sir.

[Chief Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu]

[Criminal Investigation Division 5]

I can't believe this.

Do you know what he said to me?

Sung h*, how about you resign?

I've thought a lot about this,

but you're not cut out for this job.

What is going on?

I'm sure he has a plan.

A plan to climb the ladder?

He wishes to fight against the powerful.

That's all in the past. He has changed.

What did he say to you? Did he tell you to quit too?

No.

He told me to take my hands off Kim Seok Hoon's case.

That's ridiculous. That's messed up! So, what will you do?

I must follow the order.

I'll take my hands off the investigation on Kim Seok Hoon.

- But... - But what?

I'll go after...

Park Dae h*.

I was never told to drop the investigation on Bando Bank.

About acquiring JQ Constructions. Is everything going smoothly?

Yes.

I heard there was some nuisance. Should we be worried?

No, there's nothing to worry about.

Is that so? Then I'm relieved.

Mr. Park.

This acquisition must go well.

Yes.

Because Kim Young Il's shares ended up in Kim Hee A's hands,

Assemblyman Cho's plans got significantly delayed.

He may be gracious enough to forgive you,

but I'm not.

I do not want him working with someone...

who habitually makes mistakes.

Okay, put your worries to rest. I'll work hard.

That's not good enough. Give it your all,

or you'll pay for it with your life.

I met with Chunha Insurance's executives and got them intrigued.

Chunha Insurance can offer as much as Park Dae h* needs, right?

Of course. Insurance companies offer a wide variety of loan products.

People who have been turned down by banks usually turn...

to insurance companies.

Their interest rates are much cheaper than those of private loans.

Now that Park Dae h* can't get a loan from Bando Bank,

we just need to corner him.

That's right.

I've told those in the loan industry...

that Chunha Insurance is expanding their line of loan products,

so he'll make a move soon.

People in that industry can smell money from miles away, you know.

Exactly. When you're desperate for money,

you perk up your ears to obtain information.

So you think he'll make a risky move?

Yes, I have no doubt about it.

You ditched us to go play...

with the big players and do things legitimately.

To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit?

Oh, boy. I must've really hurt your feelings, Young h*.

I'm sorry.

Let me make it up to you.

Chunha Insurance is expanding their line of loan products.

You haven't changed one bit, only coming to me when you need me.

Let's go scoop up all the money.

When it comes to loans, early birds are the ones that get it all.

You make it sound so easy.

Well, how?

You know, the thing we used to do.

That's your boys' specialty.

Let me use your hidden card, just this once.

You won't regret it.

I'll just take three million dollars, no more.

The rest is all yours, Young h*.

It'll be a win-win for both of us.

Just round up about ten boys.

[Director of Management and Strategy, Kim Hee A]

Ma'am.

Here's the list of Chunha Insurance's loan applicants.

I've already emailed it to Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo.

Thanks.

Hey, Hee Woo.

We sent you the list just now.

Yes, I just got it.

Thanks.

Hello, it's me.

I just sent you an email. Did you read it?

You want me to identify suspicious applicants and get back to you?

Yes. I can't do it here because there are many eyes watching me.

There's a chance he used some of them to take out loans in the past.

Can they take out additional loans when they owe Bando Bank money?

We have circumstantial evidence to believe...

that Park Dae h* manipulated records to clear some loans.

Find names that appear on both lists...

and jot down their personal details.

- I need it by tomorrow. - What? Tomorrow?

Yes, thanks in advance.

Wait, hello?

[Again My Life]

Yes, Investigator Oh.

I combed through the lists you gave me.

There's no one with a criminal record,

but I did spot someone suspicious.

Someone suspicious?

Yes, someone who's been reported missing.

But this person took out a loan.

Really?

I sent you the details, so check your email.

Okay, thank you. I owe you dinner.

My goodness.

I've never seen anyone who said that and actually bought me dinner.

No, you have my word.

What?

Then buy me dinner now.

- Investigator Oh. - Investigator Oh!

All right. "Reserved."

I wonder who Hee Woo is bringing.

I wonder too. Who could it be?

He's never asked us to do this before.

He asked me to cook up a feast. It's someone he's grateful for.

Could it be his girlfriend?

Right, a girlfriend. Then I should go get changed.

I should wear that yellow shirt I bought recently.

I'll put on a bow tie and my sunglasses too.

But he's always so busy. When did he have time to date?

Oh, come on.

Don't you remember when we used to date?

You came to see me after working late...

and went back to work after a few hours of sleep.

Right. I thought it'd be easier to live together, so I married you...

without knowing it'd lead to this tragedy.

What? What's with that conclusion?

Back then, you said you couldn't live without me.

Do you call this living?

I see a mountain of booze right there but can't have a single drop.

This is so awful.

Hello.

We're here.

Oh, is he the special visitor you mentioned?

Yes.

He's the investigator I worked with in Gimsan.

Hello, I'm Oh Min Guk.

Hello.

I thought he was bringing his girlfriend.

Maybe he swings the other way...

- What? - Oh, nothing.

You asked for a special table, but all our tables are the same.

- Take a seat. - Sit.

- Here. - Thank you.

But our food is very special.

All right.

How long has it been?

About a hundred years?

Have you been transferred to the Central District Office?

Yes. I applied to be transferred and lucked out.

- Let's drink. - Okay.

- Good to see you. - Likewise.

Oh, about the people you asked me to look into.

There's something very fishy about them.

Taking out a loan and buying a car...

right after being reported missing.

And they worked at the same staffing agency.

What's the agency called?

BigTiger Outsourcing.

I did some digging...

and found out that the company is run by Park Dae h*'s underling.

I bet he made it look like they worked there to get the loans.

That's right.

You need a job to get a loan.

Okay, so we now know what's going on.

Who should we approach first?

We'll start from the bottom to lay the groundwork.

[47 Jeonghan 3-Gil, Lee Chang Soo]

[47 Jeonghan 3-Gil]

Hello?

Is anybody home?

May I help you?

I'm a prosecutor.

You reported Mr. Lee Chang Soo missing, right?

Did you find him?

Did you find my husband?

So your child was born with a congenital heart defect,

and you even took out a private loan to pay the hospital bills.

Yes.

Our debt grew to a point where there was no way we could pay it off.

I just wanted to die because the creditors harassed us daily.

But one day, my husband said something strange.

He told me not to worry because he'd paid off our debt.

Where did he get the money?

He said he got a salary advance from his new job.

But a week later, he went missing.

You've never heard from him since then?

No, never.

I don't know where he was working at the time.

He suddenly vanished.

Please find him.

My daughter really misses her dad.

Okay, I'll try to find your husband.

Please find him.

Hi, Sung h*.

We found Lee Chang Soo.

He works for Park Dae h*'s acquaintance.

He recruits people for phone scams.

Investigator Oh says that he's held in the office against his will.

[BigTiger Outsourcing]

Wait, shouldn't we call the police for help?

No, this has to be done in secret.

We can get them involved after we get Lee Chang Soo and his boss.

We could get k*lled in secret, you see.

You can just wait here if you're that worried.

I was just kidding. I should go with you.

Sung h*?

Here's someone who will help us today.

Hey, are we a charity?

A 15-percent commission? Are you kidding me? Raise it now.

Then the employees may file a complaint with the labour board.

You idiot. This isn't your first rodeo.

Find their weakness so we can keep them under control.

Can I help you?

We're looking for Mr. Lee Chang Soo.

Mr. Lee Chang Soo?

Mr. Lee Chang Soo!

Hey, Yeon Seok.

Hey, stop!

Hey, who are you guys?

Wait.

Boys, come out and greet our guests.

Are you sure about this?

Seriously?

Send backup now.

Just send everyone.

[No Parking]

Mr. Prosecutor.

You brought me here instead of the prosecutors' office,

which tells me that you know who's behind me.

Yes, I sure do.

Park Dae h*.

Then I suggest you call it quits.

If you stop here, I'll...

You idiot. If you have a brain, use it to think.

If I was going to stop, I wouldn't even have caught you.

And why do you think I brought you here?

They record everything that goes on in those interview rooms,

but we don't have to worry about that here.

It's nice and cozy here, don't you think?

All right, listen up.

Here's what they'll say about you on the news.

"Kidnapped, forcibly confined, and assaulted a father..."

"who even had to take out a private loan..."

"to pay hospital bills to treat his child with heart disease."

"Even coerced him into taking out an ill*gal loan."

They'll describe you as such a despicable scumbag.

So? No complaints, right?

Everything I just said is true. It's a fact.

Yes, sure.

Thanks to you, I'll be praised as a righteous prosecutor...

who arrested a loan shark,

and you...

You're just...

dead meat now.

You're laughing?

But you see,

here's what I want to know.

When this all goes down, will Park Dae h*...

come to your rescue?

Well, will your family be safe?

You know what netizens are capable of.

They can find all sorts of personal info on you with just a few clicks.

You have a daughter, right?

If her father is all over the news as a convicted criminal,

will she be able to go to school?

Now, you get the situation, right?

Then...

talk.

List all the crimes Park Dae h* has committed so far.

If I tell you, then what? What will you do to Dae h*?

I'll send him to jail.

You can't.

The media won't cover it, and no one will listen to you.

That's my problem.

You can...

just worry about your problem, you moron.

Hey, Mr. Park.

Why are you hesitating?

I know that you're a selfish jerk.

When Park Dae h* had a private loan business,

you pocketed a lot of money while acting loyal to his face.

The building near Namdaemun.

You bought it with that money. Am I wrong?

Gosh.

He's all stressed out because of three million dollars right now.

If he finds out about this, he'll lose it.

It'll be fun to watch.

You see, I know scumbags like you very well.

People like you are always prepared for the worst-case scenario.

You already prepared everything...

to threaten him in case you got caught like this.

Right?

Call Park Dae h*.

You're the only one who knows his burner phone number.

Come on.

Hold on.

[Dae h*]

- Dae h*, it's me. - Hey.

Chunha Insurance has approved the loan application.

I'll send you the details.

You can send it to my finance director.

When will we get the money?

Tomorrow.

Okay, thanks.

Well done.

Thanks for that.

Hee Woo.

Hand him over.

Sir.

- Get out. - You want to do it alone again?

I heard everything.

Investigator Oh.

[Chief Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu]

I'm sorry, sir.

I told him everything.

He's been flying solo.

He'd soar even higher if he had someone helping him by his side.

I heard you'd been helping him.

I hope you can help him more easily now that you work here.

- Thank you, sir. - I'm sure you already know this.

He will get himself into a dangerous situation.

I can take the b*llet. I don't want anyone else to get hurt.

I told you to get out.

Sir.

Hee Woo.

Will you get Park Dae h* and call it quits?

No, right? You still have to take down Cho Tae Sub.

If you get what I'm saying, get out.

Hide your claws and back off.

I got Park Dae h*.

Sir, there's breaking news.

Earlier today,

the prosecution arrested a group of loan sharks...

who also ran a scam call center disguised as an outsourcing agency.

They assaulted and harassed debtors...

who failed to meet their payment deadlines...

and even took out loans...

in their names by using their personal information.

The prosecution's investigation...

into this group of ill*gal moneylenders...

has also revealed that Park, the CEO of B Bank,

may have had some involvement in the case.

The prosecution plans to summon Park in the near future.

Where is Park Dae h* now?

We can't track him down at the moment.

What?

What? Park Dae h* is gone?

We're checking all the security footage to track him down.

We'll find him soon.

We must find him before Cho Tae Sub does.

Hey, what's up?

Sir, I think I know where he might be.

I'll text you the address. I'm on my way there now.

Please send backup.

Hey! I told you not to step in!

We should hurry.

Send backup to the address, please.

In my previous life, Park Dae h* fled to his hiding place...

right before he was summoned.

And that was where he was found dead.

If that's where he is now,

he will die this time too.

Got it.

Sir, they've managed to locate Park Dae h*.

Find a dead body that can pass as mine.

I have to make it look like I'm dead.

I'll pay you more than enough.

As for the boat ride to Japan and the hotel,

I'll...

Who are you? You scumbag.

Let go, you little...

I do not want him working with someone...

who habitually makes mistakes.

I could k*ll you.

Where is Park Dae h*?

I don't know, you jerk.

Take care of him.

Sir, Chief Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu is here.

- Release Park Dae h*. - I cannot do that.

The arrest warrant has already been issued.

Are you disobeying my order?

His charges have already been made public.

If our investigation proves that he's not guilty, we'll let him go.

I commend you for acting on your belief and pushing ahead.

But in your position, it's more important to be flexible.

Listen carefully.

Whether you're after a person or an animal,

you must keep an exit open when cornering them...

to make sure you can catch them unscathed.

I'll heed your advice, sir.

That look on your face...

tells me that you won't listen to me no matter what I say.

You may leave.

Then guarantee this for me.

For the office to have authority over investigations and personnel.

I will reconsider then.

Is this why he made such a request?

According to Prosecutor Choi Kang Jin,

the orders all came from Chief Jeon.

So he won't betray his belief.

Prosecutor Ji Sung h* from Gimsan is in charge of the case.

Should it be assigned to someone else?

Tell them to put Kim Hee Woo in charge.

Jeon Seok Kyu will concede...

because he thinks that Kim Hee Woo is loyal to him.

This is actually good.

This way, we can see whose side...

Kim Hee Woo will take.

Now, Jeon Seok Kyu...

can't even return to his old post.

Director Han.

Tell Yoon Jong Gi to free up his evening.

Yes, sir.

[Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office]

Kim Hee Woo speaking.

Park Dae h*'s case.

You'll be put in charge of the investigation.

[Righteous Prosecution for the People]

[Criminal Investigation Division 5, Ji Sung h*, Kim Hee Woo]

Let him go.

It's Assemblyman Cho's order.

You prosecutors are quite gentlemanly.

I appreciate that you're guaranteeing my safety like this.

A jail sentence is also guaranteed...

because you've done a lot of bad things.

Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo, right?

Anyway, thanks.

You saved my life.

That scumbag yesterday... My, he was really something.

My bodyguard is very strong,

but he couldn't even fight back.

He sure seemed like a pro.

I was a skilled fighter when I was young.

It takes one to know one, you know?

Do you know why I went to such trouble to save you?

To keep you alive so you can pay for everything you did.

To you, even death is too much of a luxury.

Watch your mouth, you brat.

Clearly, you have no remorse.

Hey, do you actually think you can put me in jail?

Okay, fine.

Let's not talk about me.

What about Assemblyman Cho though?

With just one word,

he can make you vanish right here without a trace.

You see, he ordered me...

to let you go.

I think he wants to see you as soon as possible.

So if I release you as per his order,

what do you think will happen?

Prosecutor Kim.

Don't worry.

I'll buy you some time, a week.

Use that time to think hard...

to figure out a way to survive.

If you won't tell me anything...

A week from now, you'll have to face the assemblyman.

You must be busy settling in. I hope I'm not being a nuisance.

Of course not, sir.

You will always be my priority.

You're much more enthusiastic now that you're Prosecutor General.

This is all thanks to you, sir.

I'll get to the point then.

Tell me,

what do you think about Chief Prosecutor Jeon Seok Kyu?

I'm feeling iffy about my decision.

I say give him some time before you decide to replace him.

It's already been reported to the press.

People will talk if you replace him.

Right.

I used a losing card.

He's naturally a wild animal,

so he bites his owner as he pleases.

Take a breather for a moment.

I will make sure this doesn't blow up.

I'll make it so that it was Park Dae h*'s solo corruption case.

- Also... - Yes?

I will strike Chief Prosecutor Jeon at his Achilles heel.

If the staff doesn't obey the Chief Prosecutor,

he's nothing but a paper tiger.

Make him nothing but a shell with a title?

Correct, sir.

- Director Han. - Yes, sir?

Did anything newsworthy happen?

There was a self-harm attempt by an assemblyman...

who had issues with Daehan Party's election nominations.

Assemblyman Hwang's leadership is proving to become a problem.

I'll see to it that it makes the news.

Prosecutor General Yoon, I'm counting on you.

Chief Jeon voluntarily resigning would be the best-case scenario.

Yes, sir.

Sit down.

We've received orders...

from the Supreme Prosecutors' Office to put a halt to Park Dae h*'s case.

I'm sure you already knew to a certain extent.

And one of you probably received orders from them too.

You each have your survival methods, so I won't force you.

However, I want you all to know...

that your junior colleague is fighting a tough battle...

in order to protect justice.

Sir, I know it's a good cause...

I know.

The fear you have of potentially ending your careers...

by teaming up with a powerless Chief Prosecutor.

There are no disadvantages.

You may leave...

if you don't believe in this cause.

Chief Prosecutor, no, Seok Kyu.

You struggled to get this position.

Please bend your will just this once.

Chief Prosecutor, there's always next time.

It's all right.

You two may also leave.

I'll fight this battle until the very end.

- I'm sorry, sir. - I'm sorry, sir.

We expected it anyway.

Sir.

Hang on a little...

I mean,

please hang on until the end.

Do you know what my talent is?

It's to lay low and wait for the right time.

Don't worry.

I'll be defending this position while you're out fighting crime.

Fight.

And make sure you win.

Yes, sir. It's a promise.

Did you hear about Chief Jeon's moment of humiliation?

I did.

Even I didn't feel good about it.

It must sting worse for you as one of his men.

It's been a bitter day, brother. How about a drink?

Did Cho Tae Sub order you to feel me out?

He must like you. He's dying to know.

Be my drinking buddy.

I don't like drinking alone.

Let's go somewhere quiet.

Gosh, drinking at a place like this makes me feel like I made it.

I still prefer soju though.

We plan to let Park Dae h* go.

There might be public backlash,

so we'll wrap it up nicely...

and release him around the time the public has forgotten about it.

What? Why are you suddenly bringing up Park Dae h*?

You can't go empty-handed to Cho Tae Sub.

Tell him you heard it from me.

I'm incredibly touched. This is great Intel.

I'm curious.

Are we really feuding?

No, we don't have time for that.

I can't get upset with you. We could never fight...

Excuse me.

Yes, hello?

Gosh, aren't you the guy from the restaurant?

Oh, yes.

Thank you again. You taught me a fun and scenic path.

Is that so? I'm glad.

Could I join you for a moment if you're alone?

I'm with someone today.

There he is.

- I see. It was nice seeing you. - Likewise.

What was that? Were you hitting on her?

No, she just asked a question.

That's a shame. She's totally my type.

I told everything to Director Han just now.

Okay, thank you.

No, I should be thanking you.

Can I join you? I'm alone now.

I would like that.

Cheers.

Shall we...

go drink somewhere else?

Somewhere more private.

You said you're a prosecutor?

Yes.

Do you know a lot of people then?

I'm not sure.

Did I not tell you what I do?

Aren't you in the trading business?

There are times you need connections while doing business.

So...

do you happen to know anyone...

who is in business or politics? Could you perhaps...

Introduce them to you?

If that's not too much to ask.

What is our relationship?

Something casual?

Or...

Wrong.

Then...

are we dating?

Wrong again.

Then?

A criminal and a prosecutor.

Lobbyist Jung Se Yeon.

["Jung Se Yeon, Dead After Jumping From Hotel"]

Lobbyist Jung Se Yeon is dead?

Hey, does this make sense to you?

That wench would never commit suicide.

Let alone a day before her prosecution investigation.

We were almost there.

Then we could've put Cho Tae Sub, that evil scum in jail.

Gu Seung Hyuk fearlessly went after Cho Tae Sub.

What did you say?

Hurry up and watch the news.

Okay.

The driver who died in the car accident...

that happened in Cheongyeon-dong, Haero-Gu, today...

was Prosecutor Gu Seung Hyuk of the Central District Office.

The police reported that at the time of his accident...

Gu's blood-alcohol level was 0.13 percent.

They are investigating the accident...

with the possibility of him driving under the influence.

Cho Tae Sub. You little...

Gu Seung Hyuk passed away that day.

If I do as you say,

I'd become a criminal just like you.

As someone who played a vital role in your lobbying.

That...

will become my leash, right?

ill*gal activities to sell weapons.

I have enough to send you to jail.

[Profile of Jung Se Yeon]

[Founder of PKC]

Tell me.

Did you approach me under Cho Tae Sub's orders?

Unfortunately for you,

I don't want to become his chess piece.

I plan to start a new game.

Choose which game you would like to play.

If you play for me,

you won't lose out.

But if you go with Cho Tae Sub,

you'll end up in prison.

Go and tell Cho Tae Sub you succeeded.

That Kim Hee Woo fell for it.

Then sell whatever weapon you want.

Be it helicopters or b*ll*ts.

I'll give you the evidence you need.

The game is set now.

It's time you make a decision.

- Is this a threat? - No, a decision.

Then let me make a threat.

What would happen...

if I go running to Cho Tae Sub...

and report everything you just said?

I think Assemblyman Cho...

would conceal all of my ill*gal activities.

Try it then.

I wonder if he would do that.

You must be mistaken.

You're expendable to Cho Tae Sub.

To be more exact,

you're just a disposable product...

that he'll trash once he's done with you.

- Mr. Kim. - Ms. Jung.

I know what you're really trying to sell.

Military helicopters?

That's just a smokescreen.

A new EMP b*mb that jams electronic equipment.

That's the real deal.

Who are you?

However,

you have no intention of working with Cho Tae Sub. Why?

He charges a high commission.

But if you go about selling weapons behind his back,

you will end up dead.

Kwon Jung Kyu, the local arms dealer...

that you contacted behind Cho Tae Sub's back.

He's reached out to Cho Tae Sub too.

Don't trust this guy.

He'll sell you out to save himself.

How refreshing. And charming too.

I've had people use money to strike up a deal,

but never with my life.

You only have one life...

and one decision to make.

You're right.

Also,

you won't see any loss...

from helping me.

You'll hand over the Intel I need...

and sell your weapons.

Then you can leave.

What do you say?

I think it's a pretty sweet deal.

Fine.

But I want everything to proceed...

after I leave Korea.

Deal.

Here.

Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo's leash you've been wanting.

It's a recording of Kim Hee Woo agreeing to tell me...

the names of corrupt politicians, which I can play to my advantage.

Plus, the contacts...

of the Minister of National Defence,

army generals, and related politicians to win me over.

He'll give me the information the day I leave for the States.

Kim Hee Woo offered that?

I guess you thought he would be different.

He said he would actively assist me...

during the duration of our relationship.

All in secrecy, of course.

Check the file for yourself.

Okay.

Shall we start talking about your business then?

Gladly.

If the deal goes through, I'll give a five percent rebate.

You're a greedy woman.

I heard it's a 1.5 billion-dollar deal.

You'll be collecting over 20 percent for yourself.

Then five percent of that would be 15 million dollars.

I gave you the industry average.

Assemblyman Cho...

did not introduce you to the Ministry of Defence...

to get some petty cash.

- Then 10 percent. - No, 30 percent.

That'll be 90 million dollars. We won't negotiate for any lower.

Do you want this to be a one-time deal?

I met with Jung Se Yeon.

It's Kim Hee Woo's leash.

I have confirmed it.

It's nice to be young.

You need to see something, sir.

Park Sang Man, the CEO of PSM Investments...

has been named JQ Constructions' new CEO.

Park Sang Man?

["PSM Investments, 'We'll focus on making a new JQ Constructions.'"]

["Korea's Top 3, JQ Constructions, Goes to PSM Investments"]

Park Sang Man, you said?

Nobody would get hurt if you stop.

You made Sang Man CEO of JQ Constructions, right?

The trigger has been pulled.

I anticipate it'll be a grand show.

You're right.

It will shock the entire nation.

Make sure you don't get hurt.

Yes, what is it?

I found out Cho Tae Sub is looking into Sang Man.

JQ Constructions' new CEO...

is the same person who owns Kim Young Il's shares.

It's only natural that Cho Tae Sub is curious.

Be careful.

We'll stay silent, but don't forget who we're going up against.

Gosh, push one more.

- You're here. - Sang Man.

Cho Tae Sub. He might reach out to you.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub?

Yes.

Don't pick up if he calls.

If he asks to meet, avoid it at all costs.

Try not to even set foot outside.

If you do,

make sure Yeon Seok is with you. Got it?

What's wrong? You're scaring me.

Mark my words.

Director Han.

Yes, sir.

Call Park Sang Man.

Yes, sir.

Yes, this is Park Sang Man.

Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub wishes to meet you.

Must I do what he says? This is a democratic society.

It's your decision to make.

However, the consequence is on you too.

He'll see you at 7pm.

What do you think he'll do?

Will Park Sang Man accept my drink?

He better do so.

You're going to go? It feels dangerous.

Of course, it'll be dangerous.

That's why I'm going there alone.

So don't tell Hee Woo.

[Hee Woo]

I didn't call him.

I hate you.

Hey, Hee Woo.

Don't go there.

This is my work.

I'm the CEO of JQ Constructions.

Don't!

Hee Woo.

Your visitor is here.

Show him in.

What brings you here?

You know why. Why are you asking?

I'm the one who ordered Park Sang Man...

and orchestrated everything.

So...

don't go after Sang Man who's innocent in all of this.

We should talk.

Do you know what you're saying?

A declaration of w*r.

I will be the one who punishes you for all the crimes you committed...

all these years.

Crimes? Punish me?

Yes.

I don't know where you got the wrong idea.

But everything I did...

wasn't to fulfill my own greed.

It was all for the people...

Come on.

Stop lying to me about how you supposedly care about the people.

I'll give you a chance.

I focus on one's potential to succeed...

and am willing to overlook one's mistakes in the past.

Get up and kneel.

And beg for forgiveness.

I see.

If I do that,

you're going to forgive me and give me a clean slate?

Sorry about that.

Too bad.

I'm not as generous as you.

Even if you kneel and beg for forgiveness,

I don't plan on letting this slide.

Let's stop wasting our energy.

I'll get to the point.

I'm...

going to catch you.

I wonder if you have what it takes to do so.

Time will tell.

What a shame. I truly mean that.

I don't think I can persuade you seeing how your mind is made up.

What should I do?

Should I strip you of your title?

Or should I set up a nice branch office in the middle of nowhere?

Let me make an offer too.

Which prison do you want to go to?

Is there a specific prison you would prefer?

You see?

Seeing how rich people have an easy time in prison...

disgusts me, so I'd rather not see that.

So...

as for you,

I'll make you share a cell with other inmates.

Is that okay with you?

You're a great politician.

You can be the leader of the cell.

Look at you.

Gosh. I would really like to know why you are so hostile towards me.

Judging by your actions,

it seems like you have a grudge against me.

I do.

But...

you wouldn't understand even if I told you.

I'm telling you all this purely as a prosecutor...

to a criminal.

You don't belong here.

A prison cell suits you better.

I like it.

So, I'm very curious...

how this will end.

If you're done with your declaration, you can go.

I will.

Let me tell you something.

Going after the weakest spot of your opponent...

is how politicians fight.

If you treasured Park Sang Man,

you shouldn't have come to this meeting.

The receiver cannot be reached. You will be directed to voicemail.

Where are you?

- I'm in the office. - What about Sang Man?

He was hungry. He went to get food from the restaurant.

Go check on him now.

I just want one thing from you.

Teach Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo...

the pain of betrayal from a trusted friend.

All you have to do is expose him.

If there's no dirt, we can make it up.

The truth is moulded, not found.

And I promise...

to give you as much money as you want.

Perhaps, it might make you a powerful man too.

I don't think this is a hard decision to make.

Don't you agree?

Gosh.

Cold jjimdak doesn't taste good.

Hold on! No!

If you can't betray Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo,

I can use you to break his heart.

Make your decision. Will you resign or die?

You must live.

Only an undutiful son makes his parents bury him.

So you'll give me money?

You can be filthy rich.

I just need you to give me dirt on Kim Hee Woo.

Right. I know Kim Hee Woo...

better than anyone.

Keep your promise.

Please.

Gosh.

Let me ask you one thing.

Can I assume that this promise...

is coming from Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub?

I need to know who's at the top to do my work. Don't you agree?

Is it him? Assemblyman Cho Tae Sub?

What?

What? What are you doing? Hey.

What? Hey! Can't I ask a question?

Hold on! No!

Hold on!

Gosh. You caught me.

Forget it.

I just...

want to remain Hee Woo's friend.

[Operating Center]

How did it go?

I can't promise that the patient...

will regain consciousness.

Cho Tae Sub.

Kim Hee Woo.

It's been a while since I met a fun match.

Sir.

I think you are overestimating him.

Do you think anyone can scare me?

Hwang Jin Yong? Or the next President?

No. People in their old age don't scare me.

The older they get, the more they have to protect...

and the more they think about saving face.

But it's not the same with youngsters.

They have no need to save face, be afraid,

or protect anything.

But Prosecutor Kim Hee Woo...

can't be a match for you.

And you sent him a warning through Park Sang Man.

You think he will see it as a warning?

No.

He will challenge me...

until his last breath.

But he will regret it soon.

And when the morning comes, he will get...

a taste of powerlessness.

- Director Han. - Yes?

Get Kim Hee Woo's call history.

And find out about all of his personal relationships.

Yes, sir.

Director Kim.

Tell the Prosecutor General and the Minister of Justice...

I want to see them now.

Yes, sir.

- Gimsan Branch Office? - I've never heard of that city.

- He must be going far. - I don't know what happened.

- Over there. - Maybe he did something wrong.

[Notice of Appointment]

Both of them are getting transferred?

- To Gimsan? - I think so.

- Both of them? - Did they get into trouble?

- They are going to Gimsan. - That's pretty far.

- How did they end up with this? - This is so sudden.

Right?

Hey.

Hey. They suddenly want me to go to Japan as a correspondent.

- Sung h*. - You're here.

- Investigator Oh. - You're here.

We'll meet again soon.

It's fine.

I'd rather stay somewhere with fresh air than this uptight place.

Same here. I think Gimsan is more my scene.

Make sure to win.

You can do it, Prosecutor Kim.

[Gu Seung Hyuk]

Hey, Seung Hyuk.

I'm going to Gangwon Province.

I'm going to Gimsan.

Let me know if there are any good restaurants.

You heard her, right? Good luck.

Kim Hee Woo will completely be alone.

So he will be in despair as if he's standing at a cliff...

and feel powerless because there's nothing he can do.

He's making an example out of Kim Hee Woo...

to let the other prosecutors know the assemblyman is to be feared.

I'm sure you know it too.

It's so easy for fear to turn into respect.

Let me officially introduce myself. My name is Park Sang Man.

It's because I like you.

I'm more grateful.

You cleared my father's name.

Fine. Let's do this.

Anyone who breaks the law should be punished.

Look at you, warrioress.

Shut it, you brat. I'm your senior.

You punk. I missed you.

Thank you, Hee Woo.

Someday, hopefully, I can tell you everything.

I'll wait for that day.

I don't want to stop here.

This darn world where the wicked prosper and the righteous suffer...

Darn it.

I want to change this world.

Kim Hee Woo. Let's do this right.

Yes, sir.

I don't have anyone around me anymore.

All of my colleagues and friends are getting hit...

by the prosecution service and the press.

And the word has spread...

that whoever works with me...

will end up getting burned by Cho Tae Sub.

I expected this,

but I didn't think I would be completely alienated like this.

What about you?

Are you okay?

I didn't expect it...

to turn out like this.

I regretted it for a bit.

"I should have just let him be."

Then this wouldn't have happened.

No one would have gotten hurt...

or died.

But I can't turn back time.

So...

I'm going to give Cho Tae Sub...

a taste of pure misery.

I would like to ask for a favour.

- A favour? - Yes.

What is it? Tell me.

It could be easy or hard.

Good work, Prosecutor General Yoon.

I won't have to get involved with the transfers for a while now.

Okay.

Kim Hee Woo wants to bring me down.

Do you think you can bring him down?

Yes.

Is there anything you want?

I want to follow in my father's footsteps.

You want to be a politician?

Not yet.

But someday, I want to restore my father's honour.

Kim Hee Woo...

will be your ticket to get a seat in the National Assembly.

Bring him down.

Yes, sir.

Kim Hee Woo is my ticket.

Hey, brother.

Right. They were transferred out.

Seeing what happened here, I feel bad breaking the news.

But I must deliver it.

Okay. Go ahead.

Kim Hee Woo.

I need you to be my ticket.

A ticket?

Yes.

[Again My Life]

You need power to take revenge.

I must show him the world I will create.

Don't think that you can stop the press.

You can't catch a devil unless you are more wicked...

than the devil himself.

I will do anything to beat Cho Tae Sub...

even if you get hurt.

Games are fun when lives are on the line.

Make Kim Hee Woo the biggest scumbag Korea has seen.

So I'm going to quit being a prosecutor.
