What took you so long?
Did it have to be a knife?
Bring it.
Darn it.
That hurt... Come on.
What was that?
What...
What on earth?
You little... Darn it.
Hey, Chul Ki.
I need you to come and get me.
Yes.
(Episode 9)
You ate that up.
Hello.
Father, Ms. Tae has been arrested.
Gosh. That's pretty bad.
Who's going to drive for me now?
So I checked the thing you sent me.
But I'm not sure what your intention is.
That's the memory chip of the dashcam from the witness...
in the Seocho-dong murder case.
I finished identifying...
the prime suspect in the case.
I was hoping you weren't threatening me.
I had my hopes up as you seemed smart,
but I'm quite disappointed.
It was fun talking to you.
And do what you want with that.
I'm giving it to you.
What do you want from me?
I want to stay by your side.
I'm sure I can be useful.
Take it back.
I'm sure this isn't the original footage anyway.
But I admire...
your spirit, Prosecutor Oh.
Are you a good driver?
(Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office)
Are you always this quiet?
Or are you going to drag this out by taking the Fifth?
Suit yourself. It doesn't matter to me.
I have more than enough evidence to prove your crimes.
And I know why you killed Deputy Chief Lee.
You went to Deputy Chief Lee to take this from him.
But Deputy Chief Lee didn't have anything with him.
So you guys murdered him and made it look like...
he jumped off the building.
But too bad.
I, of all people, showed up there.
I bet you guys were annoyed...
because a mere prosecutor...
started digging into the case.
So you guys framed me for the murder.
And when that didn't work later,
you even tried to kill me. Right?
You have an imaginative mind.
I finally got you to talk.
Now, you're finally getting it.
You just carry out orders.
I doubt that this was your doing.
Did the law firm tell you to do this?
Of course, I don't think that's true.
Right.
They run the best law firm in Korea.
They wouldn't have murdered...
a deputy chief prosecutor just to get their hands on this.
Let's sort out the details later.
We'll begin.
Your name.
Prosecutor Jin.
Her lawyer is here.
Bring the lawyer in.
I'm Oh Do Hwan. I'll be representing Ms. Tae Hyung Wook.
As of this moment,
she will exercise her right to refuse to answer any questions.
(Interrogation Room)
The investigation on Oh Do Hwan has been suspended.
Based on what?
They can't prove anything he did.
The Inspection Department seems thrown off too.
Mr. Oh Do Hwan must have some powerful connections.
I'm here on Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu's behalf.
How are you feeling?
I'm fine.
That's good.
If there's anything you want to tell Mr. Seo,
I'll relay the message to him.
A message?
I'll tell him myself...
once I get out.
You won't be getting out of here...
because I will stop you.
And no one will hear what you have to say.
You think you can stop me?
Ms. Tae.
Everyone dies at some point.
And you're no exception.
Just like how you killed other people,
other people can kill you too.
As I used to be a prosecutor,
I know many people who are capable of making that happen.
I'll come back soon.
Take care of yourself.
I look forward to working with you.
That is so you.
Law Firm Kangsan.
You got into a nice place.
See you later. You too, Prosecutor Shin.
Do you really want me to do it?
Do it?
Well, in movies...
When you plug in something like this, it usually blows up.
(Civil Affairs Division)
I'll do it.
I'll just do it.
Gosh, you guys are such scaredy-cats.
What's this?
(Notes)
- Notes? - Notes for what?

("People Are More Beautiful Than Flowers" by An Chi Hwan)
Prosecutor Jin.
Open it.
It's...
Is it not working?
Gosh, I need an algorithm tool for code one.
I can't even get close to the lock source.
What does that mean?
What?
It means that this program is old.
At least ten years.
To unlock this password,
I need to get to the lock.
I need to get to the lock source to do so,
but this algorithm program is so old.
In short, I can't do it with this equipment.
I have the newest unlock tool, but this lock is conventional.
There's a bigger problem.
This program has a secondary security system.
If you enter the wrong password three times,
it will delete everything on it, no matter what it is.
Even Bill Gates can't unlock this.

(Deceased)
Mr. Lee lost this MP3 player at Park Ye Young's place.
(Park Ye Young: Victim of the murder case in Seocho-dong)
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
Did you perhaps see something small I could've dropped?
As in what?
After the Seocho-dong incident,
Han Soo Bin, the victim's friend,
adopted the victim's cat and found this MP3 player in the cat tower.
She gave it to Mr. Lee who was looking for it.
(Assault and Murder Case of Park Ye Young in Seocho-dong)
Perhaps, everything could have started...
from the Seocho-dong case.
What we need to focus on is...
finding the real culprit.
(Who is the real culprit?)
We must find out who and why they killed Park Ye Young,
and what this thing is.
(Jin Kang Woo, Born Aug 7, 1963, Died April 28, 2003)
I...
have a headache...
because of your son.
(Bad Prosecutor)
(Law Firm Kangsan)
"Lawyer Oh Do Hwan at Law Firm Kangsan."
Good. It sounds better than a prosecutor.
Yes, thank you.
How did you wheedle my father?
Gosh, you're so good at shifting sides.
What brings you here?
We'll be working together, so I thought I should say hi.
I'm just trying to be polite.
Okay. I look forward to working with you.
The last time was a shame.
I really wanted to see a prosecutor bow,
but you suddenly left.
Gosh, you're so scary.
Don't stare at me like that.
I really don't like people being impolite.
Then you should be polite first.
There are different levels for people, so I can't do that.
Do you think...
we're on the same level?
You and me?
I guess you're proud since my father is in favor of you.
Don't be too proud, Lawyer Oh.
You're just a lawyer who drives my father's car.
I'm going to be the CEO of Kangsan in the future.
You're laughing?
I'm sorry.
I didn't realize I was talking to Lawyer Seo Ji Han,
the future CEO of Kangsan.
I apologize.
Lawyer Oh, where should I leave this box?
See you later.
You can leave it there.
(A surprise gift from honey)
I'm hungry.
Please tell her for me.
Excuse me, Prosecutor Shin.
Yes?
It's late now.
I didn't know it was this late.
What do you say to Chinese food?
I'm all for it.
You guys can decide what we're having.
It's the least I can do since you're working hard.
You're the best, Prosecutor Shin.
Let me take your order, then.
- I'll have kkanpunggi and... - Kkanpunggi.
I'll have jjamppong.
Three bowls of jjamppong, then.
Got it. Three bowls of jjamppong.
I was kidding, guys.
Seriously, Prosecutor Shin?
Will it be your treat?
Of course.
Kkanpunggi and liusansi with rice. What else?
- How about tangsuyuk? - That'd be great.
Those are what I'll order, then.

Was Park Ye Young seeing another man?
Someone other than Deputy Chief Lee?
This car she's in...
isn't Mr. Lee's.
The dates and times she took these photos on...
don't correspond with Mr. Lee's schedule.
I heard that...
she was close to someone before Mr. Lee came into the picture.
Who was it?
I don't know any details.
She never told me.
Apparently, the guy wouldn't have approved.
Were they dating?
According to her, yes.
The victim, Park Ye Young, had another man in her life.
Their relationship wasn't publicized,
so it didn't show up in the investigation.
There was another man in her life?
Let's find out who that was first.
How? We have nothing to go on.
The one who introduced her to Deputy Chief Lee.
That person would know.
And who may that be?
Yu Jin Cheol?
Jin Cheol.
What on earth?
(81-7 Ham-dong 7th Street, Jung-gu, Incheon, Haesan Seafood)
What did you find?
An arrest warrant was issued...
on charges of smuggling counterfeit liquor.
He's on the run, and there's a BOLO out for his arrest.
What about the seafood restaurant?
It's what it says it is.
I didn't find anything fishy.
So we have no clues as to where he's hiding.
We'll try our best but...
I got it for now.
Text me which precinct has jurisdiction in the area...
and the name of the officer in charge.
Our best bet is to ask for their support.
This is a stowaway agency.
- Stowaway? - Yes.
The seafood restaurant is just a front.
My people were once clients.
Careful...
I won't ask any more questions.
Do you think you can find those involved?
They move their office once a month,
so it won't be easy.
Even when it's me who's asking?
Gosh.
Hold on.
Should that have made someone blush?
It isn't about the message.
The secret lies with the messenger.
Since it's for you,
I'll get the information as soon as possible.
Thank you.
But Prosecutor Jin,
it might be too late if he's already out of the country.
I don't care if he's in the US or Africa.
We're going after him.
Got it.
(Haesan Seafood)
Who are you?
A prosecutor.
You know him, don't you?
I'm not sure. I don't think I do.
You really don't know?
But I already know that you do.
I said I didn't know him because I didn't.
A great man doesn't lie, you know.
You won't find answers here, so get going.
It never works when you ask nicely.
What's the matter with people?
You're the one who can't take the hint.
Boys.
Get out here.
These boys...
are highly interested in what we do around here.
Knock some sense into them.
- Got it, boss. - Got it, boss.
Why does it always get like this?
Beats me.
Maybe I'm cursed.
This is so annoying.
Get them!
- Die! - Darn it!
Hold on.
That hurts.
He's got nothing but a big build.
- My buttocks! - Gosh.
You there.
Are you finally going to answer my question?
Yes, I know the guy.
Which country did he travel to?
Well...
Actually...
The Sinan Coast.
He's at the salt pond.
Jin Cheol.
Yes. Looking good.
The second he got on board,
he changed his word...
and said he couldn't pay the rest.
We're a business, not a charity,
so we had no choice.
That's how he was going to pay us.
Still, I was surprised to see how good he was...
at manual labor.
Ever since he came along,
we've been seeing an increase in the salt harvest.
When this is forced labor?
He was born to do this.
(Haesan Gold)
Gosh. Jin Cheol, look at you.
You look like you know what you're doing now.
Well, I owe it all to you, sir.
Thank you.
Don't get caught running away like last time...
just to suffer a beating...
and keep up the good work.
I lived on only salt for a week, remember?
Goodness.
Don't you worry, sir.
I think I have found my calling.
- Thank you. - Good.
- Keep up the good work, then. - Of course.
Have a good day, sir.
Prosecutor Jin?
Jin Cheol!
Let's go home!
Prosecutor Jin!
That guy is such a jerk. He's the worst.
Prosecutor Jin!
He lost so much weight.
He should lose some weight.
He always had such a big build.
You said you were taking me home. What are you doing? Come on!
That depends on you.
We're here to ask some questions about Ms. Park Ye Young.
The victim of the Seocho-dong murder case.
The worker you hired for your hostess bar.
Gosh. She's dead. Why are you asking about her again?
You knew she had a boyfriend. Right?
- Who was it? - Her boyfriend?
He's playing dumb again.
Hold on! I just remembered.
I only had a feeling she had a boyfriend.
So I really don't know who he is. I swear!
I'm sure you know that it's not easy to manage the girls.
People made babies even during the Korean War.
How was I supposed to stop her?
Ye Young couldn't stop herself either.
But she needed money,
so she asked me to introduce her to Deputy Chief Lee.
- What? - What?
Are you asking about the war? The Korean War?
No. After that. She asked you to introduce her.
Right.
She was the one who asked me for the introduction.
You didn't set them up?
No.
One day, she told me...
if I could help her get acquainted with Deputy Chief Lee.
What?
You know him. I want you to introduce me to him.
Prosecutor Lee Jang Won.
Why all of a sudden?
I thought you didn't like older guys.
Did she explain why she wanted to be introduced?
That's... I can't talk.
Maybe, a drink might help me...
You can't talk?
You still haven't learned your lesson.
She said, "sweetie."
I can talk now.
I definitely heard her say "sweetie."
I did what you told me to do, sweetie.
But do I really have to do this?
It's not that I don't want to.
It just feels wrong. We're together.
Okay. I'll call you later.
Okay.
Who was that on the phone? You sounded so affectionate.
No one. He's just someone I know.
That's everything I know.
I'm telling the truth!
I already told everything I knew about her death to Prosecutor Oh.
You keep saying that. What on earth have you told him?
Gosh. You're so frustrating. You don't know? Seriously?
Deputy Chief Lee wasn't the real culprit.
I told everything to Oh Do Hwan.
Explain in detail.
I went to her house to take pictures of them...
walking into the house together.
That night, there was one more guy.
He came to Ye Young's house.
Where's the dashcam footage?
The dashcam footage?
Where is it?
Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan has it.
What is it? Hold on.
- I... - Die.
- But... - Die.
Spare me.
(Seoul Dongha Detention Center)
I'm always asking you for a favor.
Tae Ho is doing well, right?
Okay.
That took you long enough.
It's been a while.
Sit down. We can talk then.
You lost a lot of weight.
I talked to the warden...
to make things comfortable for you.
I want to get out of here.
I know that getting that done isn't difficult for you.
I don't care how I get out. Just get me out of here, please.
Things aren't going well out here.
One wrong move can ruin everything.
A lot of people are watching now.
Hang in there, Tae Ho.
So you got yourself a new puppy. Is that it?
All this time, I did everything you told me to do.
I even did some things I shouldn't have as a prosecutor...
and got my hands dirty.
But this is what I get for my loyalty to you?
You have gotten quite rude...
over the past few days, Tae Ho.
Let's go.
I know everything you did.
If I start talking, it's over for you too.
So get me out of here now.
If you don't,
I'll tell everyone what you did in the past.
Tae Ho. Let go of me.
Or your family will die.
Do you want to end up like your friend?
You.
Don't forget what happened to me.
Because you're looking at your future.
Take care.
(Kim Hyo Jun: Suspect of the Seocho-dong murder case)
But what if you're not the culprit?
I did it.
I'm the one who killed her.
Okay?
What did you give a false confession?
(Assault and Murder Case of Park Ye Young in Seocho-dong)
I arrested Yu Jin Cheol.
He thanked me too.
He said he was better off at a detention center.
Oh, right. You asked me to look into Kim Hyo Jun.
There's something that's bothering me.
Where's everyone?
This is the Civil Affairs Division, run by the taxpayers' money.
We can't neglect our duty.
"Fill in for me at the Green Mothers' Club..."
"for traffic volunteer duty."
Don't laugh at me.
Hurry and go to school.
(Green Mothers' Club)
"Looking for a sketch model."
- What is he doing? - Goodness.
"Please help give haircuts to homeless people."
Don't use the scissors you use to kill people.
Use something like this.
Be quiet.
So what's bothering you?
Well...
While he was in prison,
he bought the house he was living in through his lawyer.
He used to rent the place,
but he paid above the market price to buy the house.
(Real estate trade contract)
Something's off, right?
It's a semi-basement unit of an old apartment building.
Why do you think he paid more than the market price?
With that money, he could've bought...
a studio apartment in the neighborhood.
(Kim Hyo Jun's place)
This way.
There it is.
Let's go.
There must be a lead here.
A lead to why Kim Hyo Jun falsely testified to become the culprit.
Let's start searching.
(Daebak Loan)
(Six reasons why you should get a loan at Money Cash)
Did you find anything?
It seems that he had some financial problems.
(Payment reminder)
(Payment reminder and a warning for a seizure)
Reminders.
What is it?
How have you been?
You said you had something to say. That's why I'm here.
I guess you have nothing else to do.
Goodbye.
I found a witness who saw the real culprit.
What's this?
I'll ask you again.
What's this, you punk?
Did you really kill Park Ye Young?
You touch that, and I'll kill you. Understand?
I'll kill you.
Sit.
You won't see me again if you don't.
It was about two billion wom.
I doubt the person who paid you gave you everything all at once.
Is it a down payment?
Let's say they promised to pay you...
the same amount when you finish your sentence.
That's four billion won for 20 years.
My gosh.
- That's 100 million won a year. - What do you want?
The truth.
The truth?
You shouldn't be laughing.
I have your money.
Gosh, you're a complete wacko.
Do whatever you want.
I'll find you the moment I finish my sentence.
I guess you don't know me yet.
Gosh.
(Punk Lee Chul Ki)
- Yes, Prosecutor Jin. - Hey.
Burn the money.
- What are you doing? - What do you think?
Start talking about the murder in Seocho-dong, then.
Tell me what happened...
and stop testing me.
Let's do this.
Let me think for a while, but leave that money alone.
How is it going, Chul Ki?
I'm ready, Prosecutor Jin.
I'll give you three seconds. This is your last chance.
In 3, 2, 1.
- Hey. Burn it. - I'll talk.
I didn't...
kill her.
Tell me more.
I didn't do it.
I didn't even know who she was.
What?
It's okay. Just tell me honestly.
I set you up with him to get that thing.
But did you start liking him?
Is it because of the money?
How can you...
How can you say that to me?
Why not?
You work at a bar.
Yes, I do work at a bar.
What about you? What are you so better than me?
Your money and your background don't belong to you.
They come from your father.
- Darn it! - What's wrong with you?
Say that again.
What about my father?
Say that again.
Don't come closer. I'll stab you with this.
Get over here.
Just die.
Die.
But you didn't see the killer's face.
Hello?
Is this Kim Hyo Jun?
Who is this?
You saw me earlier.
Anyway, I have a favor to ask.
He had a soft, semi-deep voice.
He said...
it wouldn't take long and that he'd get me out soon.
I asked how that was possible,
and he said he had the power to do so.
That there were many ways including suspension of execution,
so I didn't have to worry.
(Quick Delivery)
Okay, I'll follow up later.
Prosecutor Jin.
What about my money?
Nothing's for free, and you will cooperate.
What now? It seems like he told Prosecutor Jin everything.
Which division is he in again?
Civil something.
The Civil Affairs Division. He reports to Park Jae Kyung.
By the way, Dad,
I'm curious about Oh Do Hwan.
Yes?
Why did you let him join the firm?
Dad? Why...
What's going on? What did I do to warrant such...
Do you really not know why?
Unbelievable. That's even worse.
Dad, please.
Keep leaving breadcrumbs, why don't you?
I'll have you burned off the family tree.
Dad, please.
I'm a man of my word, son.
Do better while you can.

Last time, you asked me where my family was, right?
They're dead.
It was disguised as an accident.
I couldn't do anything about it.
Who is it?
It's me.
I heard you caught Deputy Chief Lee's killer.
Good job.
You got what you wanted, so hand over the thing.
I saw what was on it.
