[Insider]
[All people, places, organizations, and incidents appearing in this series are entirely fictional.]
Arrived in Korea on November 15th.
It was the college examination day in Korea.
Dad said it was something like SAT in the US.
How was the sightseeing in Korea?
I had a great time!
What would you like for dinner?
Donkatsu.
Donkat...
Driver?
What's going on?
Driver?
We were kidnapped that day.
At first, it was near a railroad, underground.
And they kept asking us.
Casino...
Money...
Laundry...
They said if I wanted to save my dad, I should do as they asked.
Grandmother.
Huh?
Grandmother, can you help me find my house?
Yo Han?
[A scary masked man pushed grandmother off the bridge]
Does Chairman Do have any weaknesses?
Don't confront the Chairman.
I'm sorry.
I looked into it.
I can't do anything to stop you
from getting transferred.
Even during hibernation...
Do you know anything at all?
Do you think they call him Dosan-ro "White Bear" because of his appearance?
To a hunter, the hardest prey to catch is a bear,
and the second hardest is a shark.
That's why he's called the White Bear.
Instead, get on your knees and plead to him.
I'm sorry.
Aside from the initial 13-year sentence he received when he came in here...
Hey, 2345!
Yo Han hyung, come, hurry!
Instead, get on your knees and plead to him.
Yo Han hyung!
Is your guilty conscience bothering you?
Are you going to quit?
Do you want forgiveness?
2345, what's wrong?
Leave him alone.
Please...
You are not supposed to cry during a revenge.
I'll help you.
You have to save my dad, Hyung.
You are causing quite a scene.
Accept... accept...
Please accept me.
Everything...
I will abandon everything.
I'll only do your bidding.
Please...
Please take...
take me in as your possession, Chairman.
Please...
The child that was killed...
Does he visit you day and night?
You're the one calling out the child.
The part of you seeking out the child
is so-called your conscience.
In the end, that'll be the death of you.
In a given year, do you think more people who die from car accidents, or
because of their conscience?
You need to overcome yourself.
You need to overcome that soft weakness inside of you.
Only that way can you achieve what you want.
Are you asking me to kill someone?
Living is supposed to be cruel and disgusting.
You can do penance when you get to hell. It's still not too late, then.
Aren't you afraid of the law?
The law?
Justice.
The law is not a scale.
It's a knife.
One who has the power will hold the handle
and the powerless will hold the blade.
I thought you were supposed to be book smart...
Who do I have to kill?
Woo Sang Ki.
The father of the kid you've been searching for.
Woo Sang Ki.
It's Woo Min Ho's father.
You have to save my dad, Hyung.
Why?
I'll do what you ask.
Yang Joon and Yang Hwa, those brothers
had lost Woo Sang Ki, who was an indispensable part of the money laundering process.
And the laundering has been halted for over half a year already.
The slush funds from the account
cannot sustain us for long, so everyone's very anxious.
The rumor is that some are even eyeing the slush funds for themselves
and have started their own business.
Although I want to try something,
the situation in prison has been turned upside down, as you know.
I can't send anyone outside the prison for the time being.
So if you can allow my errand boy
to be released on time,
I'll make plans to remove the two brothers
and recapture the Casino's manager position,
so I can make sure the funds of the elders are protected.
I'll make sure the casino's business is normalized
including, of course, money laundering.
Kim Yo Han will be released on time?
How about Song Doo Cheol's death?
They all...
changed their statements?
[Survey on support for returning to society]
[Compared to before you came into prison, your family relation has become...]
[1. Extremely bad]
[What is the reason for your arrest at first?]
[Others]
[Others: Gambling]
[Are you currently staying in touch with people through visits, phone calls, letters, etc.?]
[Almost none]
[Woo Min Ho, We'll remember you - Yisang Junghoon Foundation]
CEO?
The payment for management has been made under the Foundation's name.
Okay.
Yes.
That's really good news.
How did you know I was here?
I turned the car around when I saw you.
If you were getting out early, you should've called me.
I was going to call you once I got down there.
You went through a lot in there.
All thanks to you.
No...
It's because of your decision to go all-in in that situation.
And it worked on him.
That's why you and I are both here.
Jang Sun Oh...
The only way for you to get out of here...
was through Do Won Bong.
The job that 6650 had to do...
Now, you'll have to do it.
Here...
[Temporary Leave Permit] Without Do Won Bong's permission,
there's no way to leave the prison.
In other words...
the killing of my grandmother by Jang Sun Oh was also
ordered by Do Won Bong.
But why?
Why would Do Won Bong do that to me?
Should I put a marker on Jang Sun Oh?
No.
Right now, it's not Jang Sun Oh we have to check out.
It's Do Won Bong.
Due to the latest outing,
he'd try to avoid getting mixed up with you, Yo Han.
Then I'll have to make him follow.
You have visitation with the Prosecutor Hong Jae Sun of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
I refuse.
- I refuse. - I refuse.
I refuse.
Hong Jae Sun will make a move.
The deposit's been made.
[Kitchen] Throw them the meat...
[2L5R* 5205] (Level and cell room number)
[3L5R 5464]
You sent this?
Prosecutor Hong Jae Sun met with the professor.* (The slang for prison is school)
This is a search and seizure warrant.
Look around!
Where is everyone?
- Where the hell are they? - S***!
and take away the bones.
The prison's warden has been replaced because of corruption
so under these circumstances, even Chairman Do
won't be able to send people out to do his bidding for some time.
He has to send someone outside besides Jang Sun Oh...
Help me.
In front of Chairman Do who is in that predicament...
I only want one thing.
Please stop Prosecutor Hong Jae Sun.
That's a no deal.
My release date is not too far off.
If I plead with him with my arms stretched out...
Take me...
in as your possession, Chairman.
Chairman Do...
couldn't bear to reach out and grab my hand.
So, starting with Do Won Bong...
I'll have him sit at my game table.
Here's the thing you wanted.
Thank you.
And that other thing is ready also.
I put some furniture and some clothes for you in your room.
I'd like to stop by my home first
and get there later.
Here's the next news.
Attorney General Um Dong Soo, who was inaugurated this morning,
expressed his neutral position about the establishment of the Corruption Investigation Agency.
Attorney General Um stated to the reporters that the law is equal for all people
and that the task of reforming the organization will be accomplished based on principles-
They're putting on a show while they've already staged everything around the CID.* (Central Investigation Division at the Prosecutor-General's Office)
[Personnel List: Hong Sang Wook, Yoon Byung Wook, Mok Jin Hyung]
This group was definitely set up to hunt someone down.
But how come there is no slayer among them?
S***...
I can't get stuck here.
Before I'm pushed out of Seoul, I have to catch the guy who made the video
and find Yoon Byung Wook's weakness.
It's a fight.
Grandmother, I'm home!
Why are you so late?
I'm back.
Don't worry about me.
Even if I don't have any money,
I have no problem living my life.
[Seongju Prison - To: Kim Yo Han]
Is it hot and cold over there?
If I don't do anything,
nothing changes.
Grandmother,
please wait a little longer.
What did the Attorney General say?
In order to establish Corruption Investigation Agency,
we keep getting hit from the outside.
In times like this, he says we need to show solidarity.
Whenever our organization faced a crisis,
ones who defended the organization with their life
has always been us CID.
He says he'll fight in the forefront and take the blame.
He says to make sure I take care of all the juniors and set them straight.
The Attorney General is not like a battery.
They keep replacing them. Does this make sense?
Every time they replace Attorney General,
our spirits at the Prosecutors' Offices are down.
They want to keep bringing us down
so that they can weaken us even in the courts.
The administration in power lasts five years, but
our spirits are immortal.
We just have to close our eyes and stand our ground.
The next general election will come around soon enough.
Let's stand our ground
and inherit the Prosecutors' Office
with a future to our next generation!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Nice. - Come on in.
Who?
This is Deputy Chief Prosecutor Kim Woo Jae
who investigated the chairman's son's slush fund
on the HC Airline acquisition case.
I'm Kim Woo Jae, the 36th class, from the Criminal Division 4
of the Western District Prosecutors' Office.
I see.
Since they lied and said it's executive and staff salary,
it must've been hard to find them.
Still, thanks to Chief Prosecutor Yoon's help, I was able to wrap up the case.
We are alumni.
You also studied under Professor Park Yong Won, right?
- Yes. - I see...
Does Professor Park still teach?
Yes.
He's the one I was referring to earlier. Our next generation.
The next generation.
Did you eat?
I'm sorry, but I was in the middle of preparing for a hearing.
I need to get back to it.
Aigoo, what food...
I'd get sick just drinking water with that workload.
Get back to work. I'll cover for you.
Go on.
Mok Jin Hyung.
The chief prosecutor is a bit busy right now.
Tell him I said congratulations on his promotion.
Congratulations?
The people in those positions...
While you were trying to figure out what to do,
their predecessors tried to protect the organization unsuccessfully. They're filling those positions.
And you want to congratulate them?
But still...
the fight's not over.
What do you think you can do?
Whatever you tell me to do, Assistant Prosecutor,
I will do it all.
Just tell me what to do.
Corruption Investigation Agency.
It's an extremely ill-conceived idea.
I will uncover it to the public.
Our people in the department
all realize I had supported the Corruption Investigation Agency.
But if I stand in the forefront
and speak up in opposition,
it will be...
greatly effective. So...
please...
save me.
Okay.
Let's hear it. Where do you want to go?
I'd just like to stay in Seoul.
How could I...
possibly dream of a promotion?
Can you really do everything I command?
Anything.
Everything.
I will do it.
Then, take care of Kim Yo Han first.
I told you so before. But...
he looks even more healthy now.
If you take care of him before the official personnel announcement,
I'll let you remain in Seoul.
By "Taking care of him," you mean...
S***! Really?
I got it.
I'll take care of Kim Yo Han.
It's safe here, right?
As long you are not followed.
I come and go without notice
so feel at ease here.
This is your...
A lot, isn't it?
I only imagined it.
[Central District Prosecutors' Office, Financial and Tax Crimes Investigations Unit 2 (FTCIU 2)]
What is it?
Something strange?
It's...
like a very luxurious
prison room.
Even though it's a rental,
it lacks a sense of humanity.
Give me a minute.
Here.
Sense of humanity.
When was this taken?
This was...
well...
When all this started.
[Lee Yeon Soo] But the name...
She's Yeon Soo.
[About 20 years ago]
I was 16 at the time.
There was a huge scandal that got the world talking at the time,
an investment fraud case.
My mom was said to be the mastermind behind the case.
They said she committed suicide.
But it was oddly too neat,
like it wasn't the first time she had tried.
Even though she made a living by selling liquor, she was a very smart person.
Just in case of her own death...
and investment fraud case...
She had prepared a piece of evidence
[To my beloved Yeon Soo...] that could reveal the reason behind all of it.
Let's do our best.
[Human Rights Attorney]
[To Attorney: Thank you...]
But the world doesn't give you a break because you are young.
Gosh...
Aside from this, I don't have any other piece of humanity left.
I took all the unpleasant memories and burned them.
And here I am now.
- What about Jang Sun Oh? - Not yet.
Actually...
it would be better if nothing was associated.
Later on...
let's take all this down together.
Lee Yeon Soo.
Is this the life of an ex-convict?
Even though I'm released, it doesn't seem like it.
The outside world and a prison cell are not all that different.
What did you do with the watch?
I was in a rush and forgot.
I told you before.
Even if you fall into a firepit,
don't ever take off the watch.
Okay.
So, what do I have to do starting today?
Woo Sang Ki used a credit card last night in the Gangnam area.
It takes money to stay hidden.
Today, you dab some ink on your hand
and declare, "I belong to Chairman"
and put your thumbprint seal on it.
See that building over there?
There's a sauna on the sixth floor.
Woo Sang Ki?
Woo Sang Ki...
Woo Sang Ki? One minute.
S***!
Woo Sang Ki!
Hold on, Woo Sang Ki!
Hold on!
Please listen to me. I have something to tell you.
Can you give me a hand?
I'm done.
Let's lift him.
People who use knives in the kitchen have their biases.
There isn't a better knife that won't chip or break easily than this one.
Here.
You get shy the first time
and especially tough if someone is watching.
Use it to open the lid of the ink pad and seal it.* (Metaphorically speaking, seal the deal by killing the man and prove yourself)
I'll drive around and will be back.
I'll see you in 15 minutes.
You even give me a time limit?
If you can't do it in that time, you couldn't do it even if you had a year.
Spare my life, please.
Please let me live.
I'm sorry.
You need to die...
so that...
we all can live.
What do you mean?
Please, please let me go.
Please let me go!
Please let me go, sir. Please...
Please let me live. Please!
At 6 a.m. this morning, on a hillside near Annam-si, Gyeonggi-do,
a man was found dead.
[A body of a man found near Annam-si] The body was extensively damaged
[A body of a man found near Annam-si] that the face was not recognizable.
Based on the ID found near the area, the police
[Police says "Confirmed as a Korean-American man"] confirmed the victim to be Woo, who is an American national.
[Police says "Confirmed as a Korean-American man"] The police are checking through the local CCTV cameras.
The police will also check with the locals and launch an extensive investigation.
I think we can use Kim Yo Han for further tasks on the outside.
My promise to you doesn't change.
The fact that you secretly stole casino slush funds
in order to drive out the Yang brothers.
And for not reporting those facts to Sinseon-dong,
you promised to share all the profits later. Do you mean that promise?
Yes.
What? Are you anxious?
That slush fund doesn't entirely belong to the Sinseon-dong's elders alone.
One-third of Goldman funds' account
is held by Sinseon-dong.
And another third by the outside elders of Sinseon-dong.
And the remaining third by Macau.
We may hide this from Sinseon-dong,
but the other Deep Pockets...
If you get caught...
That's why I said release Kim Yo Han to the outside.
So, if it turns out that
Do Won Bong can take over the Yang brothers...
Are we out then?
If we get cast aside,
I'll go after Annie first.
I mean, the Yang brothers should take responsibility for Woo Sang Ki's death.
This is how I feel, Sunbae.
Yang Hwa, Yang Joon, or Annie...
We gave them the okay.
That's how they've been making a living until now.
How dare she tells us to come and go?
Byung Wook...
If you are going to change the line-up, wait until I'm retired.
I want to live out my old age as comfortable
and quiet as possible.
They're here.
I set the meeting here because I thought the casino would be uncomfortable for you two.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
Due to the Corruption Investigation Agency, we do need to be cautious.
I understand you'll be promoted to the assistant prosecutor at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
Congratulations on your promotion.
Thank you.
So, when did you arrive in Seoul?
I came as soon as I heard of Woo Sang Ki's death.
I flew directly from Macau.
It's an emergency.
Am I the only one who thinks that?
Since Woo Sang Ki's disappearance until now,
Goldman Casino was unable to launder 260 billion won.
In other words, the Goldman slush fund
is short by 260 billion won.
Now that Woo Sang Ki is dead,
if this trend continues, it will be 60 billion won next month,
then another 90 billion the month after-
A third of the Goldman account
belongs to the Triad of Macau.
And it's chairman election season over there.
Goldman fund is seeing daily withdrawals of more than 1 billion each time.
Macau is starting to ask for who is responsible for this.
This is an emergency...
right?
Isn't that right?
Actually Director...
This is all because of Do Won Bong, who used to manage the casino previously,
abducted Woo Sang Ki...
To take care of problems like that,
we put you in your position.
So that you will prevent issues like that from becoming.
That's why you are all positioned where you are now.
Since earlier, you keep insinuating
and placing us in the same league as these thugs.
Do you think prosecutors are a joke?
Of course not.
Prosecutor Yoon...
Hey.
You need to wise up.
All this is because you guys
usurped Do Won Bong and didn't do a good job of wrapping things up.
Wasn't it your wish to keep Do Won Bong alive?
What?
When Do Won Bong was put away in Seongju Prison,
you said if he sends out prisoners to put them to work,
there won't be criminals even if they kill people.
And if there was a problem, it would be easy to handle.
I'm saying, wasn't it you who said that?
Thanks to that, you were also
able to do a businessman cosplay without getting blood on your hands.
So...
in this situation,
what makes any of us different from each other.
You bastard...
You look very tired.
No, I'm fine.
Come and sit.
Come. Come.
Black or white cat.
As long as it can catch a mouse.
When you go to Incheon,
you'll find a casino called Goldman.
I was managing it before.
But I was forced to hand it over to some gangsters.
And now, I'm planning to get it back.
What do you need me to do first?
Go play some games.
Go where I tell you to go.
If I tell you to win, you win.
And lose when I tell you to.
Yes, sir.
What's the game he's referring to?
A game you need to win if he tells you to.
And a game you need to lose if he tells you to.
Aren't we on the same side now?
Aren't you going to meet the guys from the first league before you go?
No, I'm not.
While you're doing all this,
they are most likely still playing the same games.
You are more cold-hearted than you look.
- Aigoo. It's been a long time. - Welcome.
Water, please.
Diabetes?
How about you?
Not yet?
The last time I had a health checkup was
over 10 years ago.
You're going to croak if you keep that up.
Thank you.
What are you looking for?
Everything.
How many players are there?
Now...
six former prisoners?
Then all of them plus
three fixed cards plus
three to five fixed phones plus
one vehicle set up with communication interception equipment.
You have to tell me if the target is a government agency.
Our guys are all criminals.
If they're to attack their original gangs, I have to pull them out.
It's the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
One person running a private foundation and...
and one ex-convict
On the condition of working for more than two months and that other thing we discussed.
Including wages and rental fees, the total is
500 million.
The payment in bearer bonds.
Hey...
Do you even have money?
I took out a mortgage loan
against my house.
Aigoo, you're nuts, trying to get yourself killed.
They say if you put your life on the line,
you'll live.
Crazy...
Yes.
That I did a good job.
He's telling me to enter a game now. It looks like it's about to start.
Did you arrive, CEO?
I arrived early and have been waiting here.
I'll be there shortly. Please wait just a little longer.
Who do I have to kill?
Woo Sang Ki.
The father of the kid you've been searching for.
[Min Ho, call me.]
Min Ho, call me.
CEO.
We need to secure Woo Sang Ki.
Here's that thing you wanted.
- Thank you. - And...
that other thing is ready also.
Find me a corpse that can't be identified.
Please save me.
Please! Let me go! Please!
Please let me live!
Woo Sang Ki, listen to me very carefully.
Run for five minutes toward that direction.
You'll find a car there. Get inside the car.
Who are you?
Min Ho...
I was there that day.
What had happened to Min Ho... Min Ho...
If you want to find out what happened to Min Ho,
you need to do as I say.
Please.
If it weren't for me,
Min Ho...
will still be alive.
Just...
What happened?
It's safe here, right?
As long you are not followed.
Did you find a solution?
I come and go without notice
so feel at ease here.
This is your...
A lot, isn't it?
We need to secure Woo Sang Ki.
And Attorney Koo Bon Chul.
Both of them at the same time.
Woo Sang Ki.
The day you escaped from the kidnappers...
Do you remember the date?
That was...
June 9th.
When were you aware of the wiretapping?
You track my location. What will stop you from wiretapping me?
[99-11 Yeongpo-dong 5th Street]
Woo Sang Ki escaped from Jang Sun Oh on June 9th.
I went to pick you up after Chairman Do Won Bong gave me the address the day after.
That day, Chairman Do...
intended to kill you and me both.
He wanted to kill us both.
When was this taken?
This was...
Aside from this, I don't have any other piece of humanity left.
I took all the unpleasant memories
and burned it.
And here I am now.
Why does Chairman Do want you dead?
Attorney Koo.
If we want to live through this,
how about we combine our efforts?
[99-11 Yeongpo-dong 5th Street]
Did you prepare the corpse to burn as a substitute?
Yes.
Then you can take that car and go down.
Don't take the watch off.
Attorney...
There has to be a source to edit it.
[After the preview, a hidden story will be revealed.] ♫ You got me wrong ♫
[Insider]
♫ Wrong, who is driving the wheel of fate?
♫ I cannot stop even though my entire body will breaks ♫
♫ Wrong, we will now break you down ♫
Attorney Koo might not work under Chairman Do.
If Sinseon-dong is using him to monitor Chairman Do...
They say you can die from having too much on your mind.
Bring me the Goldman slush fund.
Don't think that I had deceived you.
You just have to do your job.
You'll regret it if you let an important person get away like this.
Why is Prosecutor Yoon so anxious to kill Kim Yo Han?
Don't go up against the prosecutors.
How about working with me?
Are you senile?
They used at least six people.
That means he wants you dead.
No one will blame you even if you quit now.
People don't change much anymore.
Hey kid, what's wrong?
524-5474.
Please help me find my mom.
