People who have power say that
utilizing their authority and reigning over others
according to the Constitution and the law
is Constitutionalism.
But lately, some people
often misinterpret that word.
"I am the law, so you must abide by it."
To put it simply, "Do as I say,
or I will punish you by the law."
Many people think like that.
I won't deny that
officials like that existed in Seowon
and in the Prosecutors' Offices all over the country.
Many people were hurt
because of the limitless authority that those people exercised.
I do not deny it.
However, from now on,
we, prosecutors, must change.
From now on,
we must not be slaves to authority anymore.
We must be reborn as prosecutors
who keep authority in check from the people's perspective.
We must be reborn as prosecutors
who do not collude with criminals, but who always think
of the people's safety.
No authority and no person in Korea can be
above the law.
Why? Because, as you all know,
the law applies equally
to everyone.
Thank you.
PROSECUTORS' VIEW ON CONSTITUTIONALISM
Hurry it up, will you?
EPISODE 10
How may I help you?
I came to see the boss.
Yeong-gi introduced me.
Yeong-gi?
Come inside.
What are you doing?
Sorry.
Put this in the cabinet with the exact amount.
-Yes, sir. -Do it right.
He'll be here soon. You can wait in here.
Okay.
What?
Seong-cheol Jang found you?
When?
Where are you now?
Damn it.
That's why I told you to stay low!
Why did you have to get spotted?
Shit.
Find a room and lock yourself in for a while.
You have a guest.
Hello, sir.
Hi, there.
Sorry, I'm late.
Was it you?
Did you take Yun-gyeong?
I never imagined it would be you.
That's not it.
Where is Yun-gyeong?
-Kill him! -Come in!
Kill him! Asshole.
That bastard.
You shithead! Your friend is Il-hu Heo?
Wait until I get you.
I'll pummel you into the ground.
That shithead.
You asshole!
It's me. Il-hu Heo found me.
I don't know. He's chasing me.
I'm in a car, of course.
Anyway, do something about him.
What else? We need to stop the business until then.
Okay.
Shit. Hey, speed up.
Fuck.
Hey. Who is Yun-gyeong?
-Do you know her? -Oh, that girl...
Do you remember that high school girl
who caused trouble recently while making a delivery?
That bitch? She's Yun-gyeong?
Shit.
But why is Il-hu looking for her?
I don't know either, Boss.
Where is she now?
Did they kill her?
Get up.
This is Seok-gi Ma.
He used to deal drugs for Sang-mo Ha. Look.
He looks like him, right?
He lost some weight.
I'm not sure
how his body was found by Seonryong Mountain,
but how could a dead man show up after he died
and kill Tae-jun Choi? That makes...
no sense.
Don't you agree?
And the evidence on Gang-ju Han is solid too.
There's a record that he got his bumper replaced the day after Mr. Noh's accident.
And Mr. Noh's phone...
JE-MUN WOO
The tire marks match as well.
Look at this.
EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
This is Gang-ju Han's car.
This is the car that hit Mr. Noh.
The tire marks,
they match exactly.
This had dirt on it, but that's irrelevant.
They are the same, right? They are identical.
Where are Seong-cheol and Gang-ju?
Can I see them for a minute?
Please be understanding.
We have no choice. That's the rule.
What's the problem?
A prosecutor wants to see suspects.
Our unit may be
a combination of prosecutors and police officers,
but we belong to different organizations.
We need to stay within the lines.
People are already complaining that we're too independent already.
Let's avoid making trouble.
You can see them once the police are done with their investigation.
Sure, I get it. But where are they?
You're not keeping them locked up in a motel and stuff, are you?
-Where are they? -Je-mun.
You think Seong-cheol Jang and Gang-ju Han
didn't do it, right?
I know about your relationship with them.
I'm sure you want to believe
that they didn't do it.
But listen,
the evidence points to them.
Do you understand?
Let's believe what we see,
not see what we believe.
You said a few days ago
that Special Team Three closed
100 violent crimes cases over the last two months
and drug-related crimes went down 70 percent.
That Special Team Three cleaned up this town.
Did you believe what you saw or did you see what you wanted to believe?
I wonder now.
Why are you always suspicious?
Isn't that stressful?
It is.
Look at me. I'm always miserable.
You and I really don't get along.
You just realized that? I had known that since we met.
I guess I'll have to find the guys myself since you won't tell me.
Even if it's a lot of work.
Mr. Park, give me your receipts.
I heard Gang-ju killed Jin-pyeong.
Did he confess that he killed him?
What do you want to know?
How did you know that Gang-ju had Jin-pyeong's phone?
Was there a tip?
There was an assault case at a mechanic shop,
so the boys went to investigate,
and they found only the car.
They found Mr. Noh's phone in there and called me.
Why did he take the phone? Was there evidence in there?
He wiped all the data from the phone.
That bastard.
Forensics can recover that easily. Did you try?
He used an eraser to completely...
Shit.
Look.
Are you interrogating me?
No, that's not it. I want to help, but I don't know how.
I was just throwing out ideas. Don't mind me.
You know Chang-jun Park, right?
I've been looking over his case file,
and your name came up.
You said you knew each other and worked on a case together,
but there were no details about that case.
I am being interrogated.
I'm allowed to feel like crap, right?
Why are you asking for my permission?
You may feel crappier going forward.
Be careful.
Do you think you'll get away with doing this to me?
Dr. Kim: I've sent you what you requested.
Hi, Dr. Kim.
I sent you some photos.
Can you tell which tires they were just from the prints?
REQUESTED ANALYSIS
EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
The tire marks,
they match exactly.
They are the same, right? They are identical.
NOT A MATCH
Call home and say you're not going home tonight.
Yes, sir.
Let's make this easy.
Do you know
Yun-gyeong Kim?
Yes, I do.
She's the kid who stole our goods.
She stole your goods?
Why?
To report us.
At first, I thought she worked for us to screw us over,
but maybe
she decided to report us only when she saw the goods.
I don't know.
But that girl reported it to the wrong person.
REPORT DRUG CRIMES 324-3748
I'd like to report a crime.
-Drugs. -A member of Special Team Three
-The location is... -is covering for you.
But she called it in to him?
That's why she was kidnapped?
He doesn't just cover for us.
He is
our big boss.
He's the one who got rid of the guys who tried to kill Sang-mo.
He's the one who left just those guys' names
and put his own people there to deal the drugs.
Just their names?
Those guys who are on the wanted list
who haven't been caught.
They are all bosses who ran the East Gang's drug business.
Those bosses aren't still on the run.
All of them have been caught already
by Special Team Three.
They were caught long ago,
but that Special Team Three guy
killed all of them
except for Sang-mo.
-Hey, turn right. -What?
Turn right.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Hey.
Why are there so many cars at this hour?
The bosses can't be caught...
No, it has to look that way,
so that they can sell drugs without getting caught.
Even if they get caught, it would be easy to get out of it.
That's why,
he conspired with Sang-mo and left their names.
Seok-gi and Chang-hui...
Those bosses died long ago.
Who is he?
I heard Sang-mo talk to him on the phone a few times,
but I never saw his face.
Seok-gi took Yun-gyeong.
The Special Team Three guy
sent her to the guy using Seok-gi's name
to get rid of her.
Get out, you...
Goodness.
It was you.
What are you... My goodness.
An idiot kept tailing me.
I assumed it was an East Gang punk.
Damn.
Were you hurt?
Gosh.
Damn it.
Look, I'm sorry about this, okay?
But I told you not to try anything stupid.
You can't compare with me.
Gyu-seop. Starting tomorrow,
track Je-mun Woo.
Yes, boss.
That shithead keeps taking me for a fool.
Hey, Il-hu.
Il-hu.
What's up?
Let's talk inside.
So you're saying
someone is pretending to be Seok-gi Ma,
to do business using their names.
What about Seok-gi Ma's prints found by Tae-jun's home?
Seong-cheol got locked up because he believed that,
and was framed for murder.
They wanted to blame the murder on Seok-gi Ma who is dead
to cover up the crime.
What brings you here?
But we showed up.
What the hell?
Why are you guys here?
That probably screwed things up.
That must be why they framed Detective Jang.
The same for Gang-ju,
and Mr. Noh's case.
They wanted to bury Jin-pyeong's death as a hit-and-run,
but because I kept digging...
Who cleaned it?
Who cleaned it out so quickly before the dust could even settle?
They framed Gang-ju
to close the case.
That Special Team Three punk
killed Chang-jun Park who was digging into the drug case
and killed Jin-pyeong who was digging into his case.
I was right.
Then, he killed Tae-jun Choi
and tried to frame the guys
to prevent their relationship from being uncovered.
And the girl you're looking for
is involved in this too.
Is that it?
He killed everyone from the East Gang running the drug business,
and planted his own people.
He's just quietly taking the money, so...
So, he's just smart enough
and knows this town well.
Then,
let's do this.
Since he took Yun-gyeong too,
I'll find the bastard who is using Seok-gi Ma's name.
Once we find him, we can get information
on who their leader is. The one on Special Team Three.
You should keep doing what you were doing.
I guess we'll meet halfway.
Are you sure that Yun-gyeong hasn't been harmed?
That's what I have to believe.
I must believe.
That's the only way I'll find her.
Do you still prefer to act alone?
I told you.
You and I look at things differently.
You keep saying that ever since that day,
but how is it different?
When Chairman Jo went to the hearing,
you said this to me.
It's over.
Let's stop now.
Watch
how things change.
Do you remember what I replied to you?
There's nothing to watch
because nothing will change.
It's still the same.
You think if authorities change, so will those below them.
I think even if authorities change,
if those below don't change,
nothing will change.
I know the new chief prosecutor
is a good man.
He won't conspire with jerks like Myeong-deuk Lee.
I know he stuck to his convictions
and got to where he is today.
But you know,
that's how organizations are.
Clean water on top doesn't flow to the bottom.
But dirty water on the bottom
climbs up to the top.
That's how organizations are.
So?
Are you saying the chief prosecutor can get dirty too?
He can.
Or you may think he's still clean.
It's either of the two.
How do you know about organizations so well?
I used to be in an organized crime ring.
Based on experience,
there's nothing different
between a prosecutor and a gangster.
Not everyone is like that.
Let's find Seok-gi Ma or the mole as soon as possible,
so we can get Seong-cheol and Gang-ju out.
They're family, even though we have split up for a while.
Interrogate me.
Interrogate me already.
I said, interrogate me!
Damn it.
Is this a set-up?
You arrested me
to hold me here for 48 hours
while you make the evidence fit.
How dare you take drugs
while you're being interrogated?
Bring me that.
You're all dead.
You shithead. Stop saying that.
I'll kill you.
Hey. Take his meds.
Give him one if he's about to die since he has cancer.
Yes, sir.
Start talking, you bastard.
Don't ruin your body even more.
Moron.
You really won't talk?
You killed Jin-pyeong Noh, the prosecutor.
I didn't.
You didn't?
Fine.
Then let's take this all the way.
Enjoy yourselves.
-Room eight wants you. -Got it.
Did you ask for me? I...
Here.
I should have called first. Sorry.
Not at all.
Are the others okay?
Yes, well...
They are feeding themselves.
You resented me a lot, didn't you?
Not at all.
I still can't accept that I wasn't able to protect you
when you were hurt.
After what happened to you,
the other bosses latched onto the chairman,
which is why we're here, but we're really okay.
So please don't say that.
Thanks for saying that.
I...
have a favor to ask.
Feel free to refuse.
Not at all. Just say the word.
I'll do anything that I can.
Start a rumor for me.
There's someone I need to find.
Yun-gyeong.
Some drug dealers have her.
I made one false move,
and they went into hiding.
You know how druggies are.
They disperse and gather quickly.
Druggies have no loyalty.
So?
What rumor should I spread?
If anyone even remotely related to the East Gang comes here,
say a gang from out of the town is coming here.
Here's your fruit. Enjoy.
Let me pour you a drink.
Thank you for coming.
I heard a gang from the South is coming here...
Tell them it seems to be after Seowon's market to go national
and the gang is pretty big.
If you tell that to 20 people for three days...
Okay, then. Enjoy yourselves.
Enjoy yourselves.
There will be a response in a day or two at the longest.
Word spreads fast.
It's me. Have you heard?
Faster than an epidemic.
Really? Okay. Got it. Talk to you later.
-What is it? -A gang is coming from the South
to replace the East Gang.
They think they can rise up since Yeong-guk Jo is in jail.
They are all the same.
Wait. Will they also come at us first?
Mid-sized businesses are everyone's target.
I heard earlier today
that thugs from the suburbs came up.
Hi. This is Hyo-gwang.
Yes.
Really?
Okay. I'll tell the boss.
Okay.
What?
It's me.
No. I didn't get a sign to start sales again.
I heard some thugs are coming from out of the town
to take over our business.
Should I get the guys to find the source?
To find out who first said it?
Okay.
What a moron.
Look what you did to the guy.
Help...
-You know what tomorrow is, right? -Yes, sir.
-Don't make any mistakes. -Yes, sir.
Do it just as you practiced, okay?
Yes, sir.
-I'm counting on you. -Yes, sir.
Make sure to put a cap and mask on him.
He looks terrible.
He has been beaten badly.
He chased Jo, the seventh-grade victim,
sexually assaulted, and then murdered her...
Hello, Mr. Ban.
I'm watching the news now. Should I make a comment
or something?
If it weren't for the efforts
of the chief prosecutor and Special Team Three...
You call that a source?
Such...
Such heartless murderers
-Shut up. -cannot...
-Do you know... -No. There's no need.
It's okay.
No need to be modest. I mean, as the mayor...
No, all we did was do our job.
I wish you would just do your job too, Mr. Mayor.
I don't understand what you mean.
I've watched all the interviews that you've given.
I did, but it's quite burdensome for me.
I don't plan to receive your support,
and I don't plan to support you.
When I helped you before, it was because
I was a prosecutor, and you were being used for wrong.
I have no intention of using you
for my benefit as Myeong-deuk Lee did, the previous chief prosecutor.
Do you understand what I mean?
I'm a prosecutor. You are a politician.
We should each work and stay in our respective fields for the citizens.
I'd like you to refrain from making calls like this.
Have a nice day.
But...
Wearing a black cap and covering his face with a white mask,
he calmly reenacted the crime.
The crowd watching were enraged...
Why are they so scared of appointed officials?
Why are they afraid of a mayor who was elected into office?
I can't tell people that I'm the mayor's wife
in case people throw rocks at me.
Should we send them to study abroad?
Today's reenactment
was at the site where the victim was found.
-Yes? -Mr. Woo is here to see you.
Send him in.
The suspect wore a black cap...
-Hello, sir. -Come in.
So, how do you like being a member of Special Team Three?
I just started.
They are talented, so trust them.
Don't try to bear everything alone like last time.
That's what I'm trying to do,
but I guess I'm bad at cooperating with others.
I always end up alone.
I don't know why I walk a different path.
I have to bear it. I can't dump it.
It's different this time, though.
Trust the people around you.
That would be good for me too,
but I need someone I can trust.
Everyone seems the same.
What do you mean?
Jun-hyeok, there's something I really want to know.
Can you answer with complete honesty?
What is it? Tell me.
If one of the members of Special Team Three
has been using his authority
to take over the East Gang
and has been killing his colleagues,
what would you do?
-Is that a hypothetical question? -That's not important.
What would you do with him?
I don't know.
We would have to prosecute, naturally.
Although that would destroy your Special Team Three?
Then you would become a bigger villain than Myeong-deuk.
They will say you're a total fake.
But I would have no choice.
If that's going on in a unit that I created,
I need to take responsibility.
That's only right.
He just left.
Wait. Stay there for a minute.
Stay right there.
-Where is Je-mun? -He went to the back of the office.
-Is this it? -Yes.
What is that bastard doing holed up in there?
-Where is Je-mun? -He went to the back of the office.
-Is this it? -Yes.
What is that bastard doing holed up in there?
EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
-Where? -This way.
What are you doing? Are you visiting a friend?
Step aside.
What is this?

EVIDENCE ANALYSIS
EVIDENCE NO. 21, SKID MARK PLATE NUMBER: 42NA3876
NOT A MATCH
Detective Hwang, can I see you for a minute?
I would like to talk in person.
Hey. Someone is asking for you outside.
-Who? -He's in the white car out front.
-It's been a while, Seong-chan. -Hello. How have you been?
If I had I known it was you, I would have just called.
Did you delete my number?
I have something to ask you. Do you have time?
Yes, sir. Go ahead.
I heard you were the first to hear
that some gang from out of the town
-are coming to take over our territory. -Yes.
Where did you hear that?
They came to our bar. They must've visited before they put into action.
I overheard them while serving them.
You heard the bastards yourself?
-Yes, sir. -Are you sure?
Of course.
Okay.
If they come back, call me right away.
I'll tear their limbs off. Those assholes.
Do you have my number?
-Give it to me. -Okay.
010-456...
I'll call you.
-Okay. -Have a good night.
Shit.
Get over here.
Why are you so out of breath? Stop stuttering.
Damn it, Il-hu is here.
He's going to kill me!
Okay. Hang on tight.
Shit.
Tell the boys to gather at the hotel where Sang-sun is.
Jesus Christ.
Are you Seok-gi Ma?
-All together! -Cheers!
-Let's drink. -Are we going for another round?
What brings you here?
The team came out for a drink.
Do you want to join us for a drink?
-Detective Hwang. -Yes?
I can trust you, right?
Why the sudden... What are you talking about?
Have you been drinking?
I heard
when Jin-tae Park went to arrest Seong-cheol and Gang-ju,
you questioned it.
Why was that?
Well, as soon as I got to work, they said
they were the killers.
There was suddenly evidence that wasn't there yesterday.
Something felt wrong, so...
Gang-ju didn't kill Jin-pyeong.
That asshole Jin-tae killed him.
Why would Jin-tae kill Mr. Noh?
That makes no sense.
Were you really drinking?
I don't have time to explain.
I'm going to go catch Jin-tae now.
Will you go with me?
I want you to go.
I'll go with you.
Did you know about this?
Let me get this straight.
What you're saying is, Jin-tae killed Mr. Noh,
and he fabricated the evidence
and framed Gang-ju Han for it
by working with Sang-mo Ha.
That's right.
His investigators may be involved,
so help me out.
We'll have to arrest them all at once.
Arresting them isn't the problem.
I'm asking whether or not you're sure about what you're saying.
I mean, if we move based solely on what you say,
and you're wrong, I'll take the fall.
-Detective Hwang. -And Jin-tae...
Jin-tae would never do that. I mean it.
Why aren't you talking?
Did you know?
Why is this picture different from what I have?
Why is the pattern
in the photo Je-mun has different from Gang-ju's tires?
Did you tell anyone else?
You're the first person I'm telling.
We have to catch him.
Sure. How about this? Let's meet with Jin-tae
and check the facts.
You may be mistaken.
Gyu-seop, tell me.
Did you know?
You were responsible for the photos from the crime scene!
Sir. The thing is...
Jong-geon.
You drove the car the day Mr. Noh died, right?
Where did you go that day?
Why is there blood on our car's tires, assholes?
Did you...
Did you kill him?
Did you kill Jin-pyeong Noh?
I mean,
we can arrest him after checking the facts.
We're colleagues, after all.
We can give him that much consideration.
Like I said, I'm positive.
Okay. I understand.
You're sure.
I was supposed to go home early today, so let me make a call.
This is insane. Hello?
You lowlife scumbags.
You call yourselves public servants?
Damn it.
You're all dead.
-You... -Why did you do it?
It would have been better if you never found out.
You lowlife...
Hey, it's me. I won't be able to go home early.
Something came up.
What? Something came up.
Is Sang-sun asleep?
Will you put Sang-sun to sleep?
Put her to sleep.
Okay. Bye, honey.
Kids these days won't go to sleep early, right?
Why did this bastard call me "honey"? He's making my skin crawl.
He says to kill Sang-sun Jo, too.
Yes, boss.
How far will I fall?
How the hell did I become a detective's lackey?
What a beautiful night. Seriously.
Where is Yun-gyeong?
I really don't know.
Min-gap said she may be useful and took her.
-Let's finish this quickly. -Yes, sir.
-Lock the front door. -Yes, sir.
Please save me.
If I get out of here,
I'll find out where the girl is and let you know.
Please let me go.
Move.
It's cramped in here. Move, you bastards.
What are you holding?
-Are you a craftsman? -No.
Why are you carrying a saw?
Get lost. Go to the back.
Shit. That pathetic little...
Where did you get these losers?
I'm sorry, sir.
Kill them both.
Sang-mo!
Die, you fucking assholes!
Start when we stop the car.
I drank too much beer. I need to pee.
Can you pull over for a minute?
What? Is there a good spot?
It's nice and secluded here.
I'll look for a good place to stop.
Detective Hwang
-I really need to pee. Please pull over. -I'll look for a spot.
JE-MUN WOO
IL-HU HEO
-Please pull over. -Hi, Il-hu.
It's Detective Hwang.
I just met the guy pretending to be Seok-gi Ma,
and he used to be a cop in central district.
Mr. Woo.
Sang-sun Jo, who was fired for taking bribes from the East Gang...
I'm about to pee in my pants.
Min-gap Hwang and his boys are the only ones
in Special Team Three who are from central district.
But people on Special Team Three are definitely...
I was right.
Mr. Woo?
Mr. Woo.
Is something wrong? Mr. Woo!
Get rid of it. That will be best for you.
Jin-tae found out everything?
There's a problem with Special Team Three.
You need to take care of it.
Worst-case scenario, you may use your firearms.
So? What do I have to do?
Even good authority is still authority.
Once you have it, you don't want to let go.
Let's save Seong-cheol and Gang-ju. We're family.
There's one more person. A girl.
This is the end anyway.
We should do what we want.
