Enjoy.
Help yourselves.
- One here. - Okay.
- Hurry up, please. - Okay.
One sausage, please.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, gosh.
- I told you to sit down and wait. - What?
Don't wait standing up. Sit down.
Is it going to take long?
- Sit down and wait. - Is it going to take a lot?
It's packed. Wait here.
The sons of guns.
What's he digging?
Honey.
I had no idea.
I never thought it'd be a fraud.
Who'd spend 100,000 dollars to do that?
Did he have a problem with you?
Was he trying to make you shut down?
No. Not at all.
Do you know who told me about this?
Joo Jung-gi was nothing.
Someone bigger is behind him.
That guy ordered Joo Jung-gi
to run into you.
How do you think I felt when I heard that?
Mr. Lee.
Oh, Mr. Lee.
What if you fall for it without any idea?
That's why I'm here in the middle of the night.
So you were worried about me?
Yes.
I can handle two,
but what should I do with you?
It's not like I can bury you.
I can't burrow a grinder at this hour.
I said that to survive.
Mr. Lee.
Will you help me get up?
I have something to tell you.
You were talking fine on the ground.
I know a way for both of us to survive.
I can't dare to tell you that on the ground.
- We can't both survive. - We can.
Mr. Lee, I'm a prosecutor.
We can both survive.
So? Do you want to hear it?
I'll say these bodies are unnamed.
This is the reason you had to live like this.
For a decade,
you cooked for strangers
and couldn't escape from this deserted place.
Mr. Lee.
10 years mean
you basically served your time.
So, since you're a prosecutor,
you'll say I'm acquitted
and say these bodies are unnamed?
Oh, gosh.
How generous of you on the verge of death.
Forget it.
I'll get rid of those bodies
legally.
You've never been caught or chased before, right?
You've never been doubted or suspected, right?
But here's the thing.
A crucial piece of evidence will tie you down.
Even if there are tons of evidence for murder,
people are set free if no body is found.
But for you, the crucial evidence is right here.
I'll say these bodies are unnamed.
Unidentified bodies, unidentified reason of death.
So cremate it and enshrine.
Then finally, it's over.
It's that simple.
Only if I say it's unnamed.
That document is
in my office.
What do you mean
it's in your office?
I'll head to the office...
Go where?
To your office?
Just tell me to go to the police station.
- That works too. - You prick.
I have to.
I have to go there or there's no other way.
Court, prosecution, police, prison.
I can only get an access to it in those four organizations.
Even if I want a warrant, I have to do it within the building
because no outside access is allowed.
To get rid of the bodies, I have to go
whether it's the police station or prosecution service.
You think I don't realize
how absurd this sounds?
But it's the truth.
I have to go there if I want to handle it.
I have to download the form.
But
once I download it,
it won't take less than a minute.
Then
you'll be free.
Free. Understood?
How can I trust you?
Do you want to come with me?
I won't let you go alone. We have to go together.
What do you think my brain is for?
Did you think
I'd let you go alone for rambling on?
How would I ever know
what you might do there?
And how am I supposed to trust you?
What if you kill me after I set you free?
I'm a prosecutor who executes the law.
Yet I'm trying to find you a way.
Why would I go through that hassle
when you got caught with two murdered bodies?
Because I must survive.
I can't let my kids live without their dad like me.
My life depends on this.
It's your turn to tell me.
How are you going to let me walk out of this?
This is getting complicated.
Get up.
Hold it.
Come here.
Why don't you
tell someone to bring the form?
There's no one.
Everyone went home.
If you're fooling me,
we're both dead.
Got it?
Well...
I almost died in the past before.
By the kid who took revenge
on those who bullied him at school.
He killed all the bullies.
When I noticed it,
he kidnapped me and abandoned me in the mountain.
The main police force was out
to find me.
Because a prosecutor went missing--
So?
Are you telling me to serve you?
No, you reminded me of that kid.
Mr. Lee.
It's poking my neck.
It's dangerous and...
Sorry. My bad.
(Lee Jun-hyuk)
(Park Sung-woong)
(Dongjae, The Good or the Bad)
Okay.

I need to scan my fingerprint.
I need to scan it.

Remember this place?
You made a fuss in here before.
We're almost there.
(Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae)

(Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae: Now)
Is he drunk? He made a typo.

How easy is that?
Cremate and enshrine.
- Unknown. - Unknown.
- Death from illness. - Yes.
Oh, the printer's off.
- Should I go? - No, no.
Stay here.
Uh...
- How... - Just press the button.
(Unnamed Death Notice)
Oh, that was so easy.
I'll kill you.
A murderer!
What was that?
Prosecutor Jo.
Call the police. Now.
Hey.
Prosecutor Seo.
- Mr. Lee? - Sung Si-woon.
Don't follow me.
Press the elevator.
Don't follow me.
First floor. Press the first floor.
Don't follow me. If you follow me, he dies.
- Get your hand off. - Off.
Don't kill him. He's still young.
Get your hand off the elevator.
I swear
I will kill you.
Guard.
Hey.
Damn it.
Where did he go?
How can you miss him?
I called the police already.
Where is he? Take the lead.
What the hell?
Is it broken?
Mr. Lee.
- What? - The emergency bell.
(Emergency Call)
Hello?
It's okay. I'll do the talking.
I'll talk.
Is everything okay? Hello?
Hello.
This is the number three elevator.
Why is this broken?
- Sung Si-woon. - Prosecutor Sung.
- Who are you? - Are you okay?
- Sung Si-woon. - Prosecutor Sung.
- 911. - Prosecutor Sung.
Are you up?
The paramedics are here. Arrest the suspect.
Yes.
Hey.
- The blood. - What?
He's bleeding. Hello? Anyone?
Over here.
- Take the suspect first. - Can you get up?
He's going down.
Hurry.
Police. Get your hand off.
Hurry.
Get on the bed.
This way.
Hey.
Over there.
Damn it.
What was the way
when you said you'd let me hit the jackpot?
Watch the news
in prison.
Hey!
Yes, sir.
Two bodies were found.
One of them belonged to the original owner
of the diner who was known to have fled.
Is that why that old man refused to sell it?
I knew it.
There's always a reason when one refuses money.
That's not all.
Now that I think about it, I could've been killed.
Hey, no...
I could've been found dead
when this place was getting redeveloped.
Okay. I'll pay you for your work.
That wasn't what I meant,
but thank you.
Good job.
Seo Dong-jae.
What a strange way to help me.
1, 2, 3.
Let's turn him around.
Honey.
- Yes. - Sir, stay down.
Clear the way.
Last night around 11 p.m.,
Criminal Department 1 prosecutors of Cheongju District
who were working late worked together
to arrest the suspect.
As it was a powerful suspect,
he fought against us violently,
and one of the prosecutors was
injured while arresting him.
However, we, prosecutors, who lured the suspect
to the prosecution office that was off the grid for 10 years
gathered together with a strong will to catch him
and succeeded in arresting him in the end.
Prosecutor Jo.
Reporter Shin, what are you doing here?
Are you here for the briefing?
What happened?
How did you bring the murderer to the prosecutors' office?
Oh, no. The murderer happened to be stupid.
How did he dare to come here?
In fact, he must've only worked out his body, not his brain.
He was way too strong.
You know I'm not weak enough to be pushed.
But when I faced the murderer...
Gosh, I almost got killed.
Were you the first to find him?
Was it me?
Well, I was the first to jump into the scene.
He was swinging the sickle before my face.
The sickle was rusted.
Even a graze would cause tetanus.
I guess you didn't hear that in the briefing?
All your eyes are shining brightly.
Good job.
If we mention Seo Dong-jae's name,
someone will bring out what happened in the past.
I think
we can compensate Prosecutor Seo
internally.
Yes, sir.
Bring back the diner lady, murderer.
Were you cooking with those filthy hands of yours all these years?
Bring back the diner.
How do you feel right now?
Don't you feel bad for the victims?
Did you know you were too stupid
to enter the prosecutors' office on your own?
You've become the dumbest murderer in history, you know.
- What? - Stop him.
What?
Seo Dong-jae.
Didn't he just say Seo Dong-jae?
Isn't he that prosecutor?
(Pretending to be a kind diner owner after the murder)
(Cheongju Police Station)
Lee Kyung-hak, you have a visitor.
My apologies, Mr. Lee.
Oh, what?
I acted up without any idea.
I'm sorry.
I'll kill you today.
Let's all die together.
Calm down. Sit down first.
Why die? You must live.
Who the hell is this prick?
Sit down first.
Thank you for your service.
We're good here. You may leave.
Okay.
Here.
I'm Joo Jung-gi, attorney at law.
(Attorney at law, Joo Jung-gi)
- A lawyer? - Yes.
You're lucky.
If you hire me,
I'll defend you with my best.
Ha!
You're the reason I ended up in here,
and you want to defend me?
Yes.
Jail, detention center, prison.
No other place upsets you more
with food and clothes than those places.
But if you have money,
people will clean up your dishes
and even your restroom
like a hotel.
How much do you want?
Who the hell is this prick?
Happiness Diner.
It belonged to your wife,
but because you killed her, you don't have the right anymore.
So what's the conclusion?
You have no right to that property now.
Understood?
You wish.
Sell it to me.
Sign the paper.
What the hell?
Didn't you just say I had no right to it with your own mouth?
I'll take care of it. Just sign the paper.
The lawyer and your life in prison.
I'll cover it all.
I can help you hit the jackpot.
I'll help you make billions.
I get it now.
It was the land, huh?
When he said I could hit the jackpot.
Joo Jung-gi was nothing.
Someone bigger is behind him.
And you're behind him?
You told him to scam me?
Huh? What's he saying?
I get it.
So that prosecutor wasn't all about lies.
It's not so hard to sign it.
Seo Dong-jae.
Only if you kill him.
Kill a prosecutor?
I'm not a lunatic like you.
How much is it worth
that you had to chase me here?
And you even suggest supporting a stranger in prison.
You're desperate.
Spend that effort to kill a prosecutor.
Then...
I know you're a lunatic,
but don't cross the line.
Jerk.
We'll come back tomorrow.
Seo Dong-jae.
(For jail visitors)
(Cheongju General Hospital)
Every corner of my body aches.
Huh? The bowling alley...
Shoot.
- Boyfriend? - No.
Wait. This is my room.
Wait. What happened to your face?
Did that guy do that to you?
No.
No?
Gosh.
How did you get hurt?
Are you sure it wasn't him?
No. Can I stay here for a sec?
No. I'm going to rest.
I got hurt from riding a scooter.
I think he left.
You can't sleep here. You're a girl.
You're a prosecutor.
Did you study all night long?
I made money.
Here.
It's nice to eat sweets all you want.
Are you on a diet?
You'll know what I mean when you get old.
(Cheongju General Hospital)
Did you get some sleep?
Yes.
Is it quiet there?
What?
It never happens to anyone, but why do you...
Did your office put guards on you?
I'm finally taking a break in the hospital. No needs for guards.
That's not good. I'll go there tomorrow.
No, it's the midterm period.
I'm fine. I'm leaving the hospital soon.
A serial killer shouted your name out loud.
Who knows what might happen?
Don't leave your room.
Don't let anyone in, okay?
Okay. Bye.
(The murderer said something when he was being dragged)
Seo Dong-jae!
You must've heard the name
Seo Dong-jae the murderer said.
That's right.
Remember how a prosecutor was kidnapped and abandoned
in 2019?
It's Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae
who noticed the murder that almost got buried
and resolved it.
However, he received media's attention
for receiving bribery.
The 2017 special appointment
that started with Park the briber.
That brought multiple prosecutors' corruption to the surface.
And Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae was
on the list.
Hey.
Huh?
Get out of my way.
What's he doing? Move your car.
Hey.
(Cheongju General Hospital)
Come in.
- Good to go? - Yes.
You can leave now.
Why did you waste your money? I know this is expensive.
Someone gave it to me just outside the door.
Who?
It's from Ehong Construction.
Ehong...
Throw it out. You eat it.
Why did you take it?
I thought you should decide after checking the envelope.
Check what? It's obvious.
It might be a letter of gratitude.
Open it.
If it's a letter, you're my senior.
Excuse me.
Those pricks.
I'll return it.
Where are you? Send me your address.
Wait right there.
I thought it might mean something to you.
Perhaps you helped them
or worked off their grudge.
If that's the case, I shouldn't send it back.
But
it has 200 dollars. I'm sorry.
- You... - Yes?
Never mind. Call the cab.
I brought my car.
You had a car?
I got it yesterday.
Call the cab.
So he wants to see who I used to be?
Fine. The most expensive suit.
(Club Pitch)
Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae just arrived.
Okay.
Stay outside for a second.
Hi.
It's for your business.
A construction worker outside the city worked his ass off
inhaling rock dust to make this money.
How can I spend that precious money?
- How dare you play a trick on me? - No wonder.
You're about to get billions.
This is nothing compared to that.
Do you really not remember?
Right. It was almost a decade ago.
Still, how can you forget my gratitude completely?
I gave you an obvious hint, but you just don't get it.
Geez.
Cheongju.
9-3 lot in Gokjung-ri.
When it was only 150 dollars per 3.3 square meter 10 years ago,
I, Nam Wan-seong, the Cheongju construction worker presented it
to you, Prosecutor Seo from West Proescutors' Office.
Look, prosecutor.
That land is
getting redeveloped.
It's right next to that damn diner.
Were you disregarding it because it's in the countryside?
Or
did you take so many
that you don't even remember the small ones?
Too bad now.
It increased by hundreds of times just overnight.
Wow.
It became a huge bribe. Damn!
I'd forgotten.
That's how pointless it was to me.
And I didn't get you anything in return.
It doesn't meet the condition
of bribery.
Even if it's not a crime,
you think I have no alternative?
So? Do you want me to lie down in your office?
No.
Humiliation isn't enough.
What if I say you took it from me by force?
Not that I gave it to you voluntarily.
I mean, it's nothing impossible
considering how you've been.
Mr. Corrupted Prosecutor.
- You piece of... - Calm down.
Calm down.
The land
is yours. I know nothing about it.
Whether you sell it or keep it, it's up to you.
But
make sure I get
the old man's diner site.
Hey.
Did you think a mere prosecutor was that amazing?
Did you seriously think
I could swap and steal everything?
Seo Dong-jae.
Seo Dong-jae!
That damn old man
went wild and shouted your name on TV with grudges.
Seo Dong-jae.
Tell him
that I sent you.
Beg him with your all.
Whether you go on your knees or cry your heart out.
It costs you nothing, and it's not illegal.
Then
you'll never have to see me again.
Kiss my ass.
Gosh, I had no clue 10 years ago.
I never expected it to turn out like this!
Hooray.
Yes!
Hey! West Prosecutors' Office.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Kill them all.
- Get your tools. - Let's kill them all.
Have a good time. I'm off now.
How tiring.
What the hell?
You prick.
Get your ass over here.
Hey, Park Chan-hyuk.
- You can't pass through. - I have to go.
What's up? What brings you here?
Oh, no.
Don't be scared. You expected us
when you backstabbed us.
No.
- Come here, punk. - No.
Believe me.
I didn't siphon it. It got stolen.
Right? Who dares to mess with Choi Geum-ho's item
in Cheongju?
The thieves spread
what's out in the market, huh?
Yes.
Trust me. It wasn't me.
You little...
Please.
- Hurry up. - Get in there.
Two here. Two there. To your right.
Sir, the police are here.
Damn it.
Tell Choi Geum-ho it's him next.
Let's go.
Shoot.
(Mr. Won's boys were here. And the police too)
Over there.
Get him.
He took off again.
- What the hell? - They all took off.
Tell me your name. What?
What's your name?
Park Chan-hyuk.
He's the puppet boss Choi Geum-ho hired.
He's Choi Geum-ho's brother-in-law.
The paper says the bar belongs to Park Chan-hyuk,
but it's where Choi launders the money he made with drugs.
It's impossible for the police not to know.
The police were probably after the Cheongju head drug dealer.
I think they'll summon Choi to investigate--
Why did they raid it?
I'll have to find out. So--
You have a snitch there.
- What did he say? - I can't get ahold of him.
We should've declined the warrant request.
If the police get their hands on it,
Choi will take off at that moment.
Don't let the police approach Choi.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Captain. - Spill it out.
One second.
The bar search warrant was declined.
Gosh.
Is it the one in charge of drugs?
Yes, Jo Byung-gun.
Why not? Request it again.
Request it until we get it.
Yes, sir.
- Geum-ho. - Don't get up.
Okay.
They were mistaken big time.
They think we stopped selling it to them
because we joined hands with a new dealer.
Geum-ho.
(Dong-pal)
Only if
I hadn't passed out...
The number you have dialed is...
Look at this prick.
Take care.
No, Geum-ho.
You should...
They said you're next.
Keep your eye on him.
What if that jerk is mistaken?
Because he bribed so many.
Prosecutor Seo, let me get you a glass of water.
Prosecutor?
Drinking from early morning...
Here.
- I don't take this. - It's okay.
Cheongju. 9-3 lot in Gokjung-ri.
When it was only 150 dollars per 3.3 square meter 10 years ago,
I, Nam Wan-seong, the Cheongju construction worker presented it
to you, Prosecutor Seo from West Prosecutors' Office.
(Gokjung-ri, Jangam-dong, Cheongju-si, Chungcheong Province)
(Seller Nam Wan-seong, Buyer Seo Dong-jae)
Buy this land no matter what.
He happened to take the best part.
But
drag it out as much as we can.
Make sure to keep solicitors out.
Yes, sir.
What if the prosecutor decides to sell it for a high price?
If he wants to charge you for how much it went up,
there's no point in retrieving.
Buy it.
If Prosecutor Seo insists
on making a profit,
our relationship will continue to prolong.
Gosh, I had no clue 10 years ago.
I never expected it to turn out like this!
I was the clueless one.
Because I continued to live like that.
(Wife)
Hey.
Yes, I'm driving.
I'll be home soon.
Okay. Bye.
It increased by hundreds of times
just overnight.
Wow.
It became a huge bribe. Damn!
I never asked for it.
I didn't take it because I wanted to.
He forced me!
