ALL CHARACTERS, ORGANIZATIONS, CASES
AND SETTINGS DEPICTED ARE FICTIONAL
It's good to see you back on your feet.
Congratulations on your nomination. I'm sure you'll be elected.
Let's not celebrate just yet.
SON SEUNG-JIN CANDIDATE NO. 2
It's a close game in this district.
I'll be by your side.
So you retrieved the flash drive containing proof of evidence manipulation
by the prosecution?
Yes.
I'll bring it to light right before the election.
No. Exposing it before the election will only bring suspicions
of a political conspiracy.
It should be unraveled in an orderly manner.
You should clear your mother's name as soon as possible.
No.
If we don't remove all the higher-ups, the truth will be covered up again.
The culprits will survive again.
You know proof isn't enough to reveal the truth
in this era.
Dad sold that…
to you, Manager Eun?
You know how Chairman Myung is.
You know very well.
What will you do now?
Do as I say
if you want… to save your husband.
Aren't those outdated records?
We have new evidence.
I'm going back to square one. Starting from scratch.
How is that new evidence?
The man in the photo... Are you sure it's Hwang Gi-seok?
- What? - They do look alike.
Can you identify him in court definitively?
What do you mean?
In order to prove bribery, the time of contact is crucial.
But is it really him beyond a reasonable doubt?
Well,
I guess the defense counsel could make that argument.
No. This is our argument.
Huh?
As a veteran inspector, I'm certain that…
this photo will not be admissible.
What? No way.
"No way"?
This is just an online photo that's gone viral. It's legally inadmissible.
There's no telling that the man is really Senior Chief Hwang.
"Unidentifiable" sounds just about right.
The press may blather on, but they'll be filed for defamation.
But that's the defendant's argument.
- Not ours, right? - Hey, you.
Prosecutors and lawyers are no different before the law.
The principle of evidence. You know of that, right?
If you handle evidence like Prosecutor Jang,
you'll lose big-time in court.
- What I meant was... - Prosecutor Jang has a point.
The public isn't on our side. We can't make it too obvious.
If we go by the book, the public will bash us.
It's our job to choose which evidence is admissible.
Tell the reporters on our side that we will investigate everything thoroughly
and to keep their mouths shut.
Yes, sir.
Our only focus now is to capture Lee Su-dong,
now that we've bought some time with Mr. Hwang's photo.
In the meantime, we'll catch Lee Su-dong and wrap up the Bawoo Fund case.
- Got it? - Yes, sir.
Your call cannot be completed as dialed. At the tone, please record your…
Your guest has arrived.
Hello, sir.
The chairman of the board couldn't come due to election preparations.
Instead, he wanted me to deliver a message to you.
Sit.
Let's talk things through over dinner.
I have nothing to say.
I'll be going, then.
Where will you go?
You have nowhere to go and no one left to call.
You're clever enough to sense what's going on.
You're the cause of it all, so what have you left to say?
You think I'm abandoning you?
Are you not?
Gosh, you prick.
Do you know how much money I invested in you?
I only make investments that turn a profit.
Come sit. Let's talk.
SON SEUNG-JIN CANDIDATE NO. 2
My name is Eun Yong, a stock trader. It's an honor to meet you, sir.
Same here. I've been wanting to meet you, Mr. Eun.
We were careful not to run into reporters.
Oh, I still have… some ongoing trials.
Oh, you've been targeted?
A target of prosecutorial misconduct. I can relate.
I'm sorry for your hardship during these rough times.
It's nothing. Let me pour you a drink, sir.
- Sure. - All right.
- Oh, please allow me. - Thank you.
Here.
Now that we've met,
let me be straightforward and ask you something.
Why do you insist on helping me despite my low electability chances?
Mr. Son, you fearlessly carry on with what must be done.
And if you are elected,
there is a business that requires your assistance.
I see.
I knew you'd have a reason.
If I want to be fearless as a politician,
corruption must be intolerable.
If you plan to bankroll my campaign in exchange for a deal, I'll refuse.
The business that Yong is planning is to reestablish Mom's company,
which has been delisted.
Why revive a company already in ruins?
I know getting revenge won't bring back Mrs. Yoon,
who died an undeserving death,
but I wish for her entrepreneurial spirit
to live on.
It's going to cost you a lot.
But it's the best way to use my earnings from money-making.
I guess I'll be seeing you more often, then.
- Let's do it. - Thank you, sir.
You've had your share of experience as a prosecutor.
Don't waste your time trying to become a politician.
Learn the money business from me.
From you?
Are you telling me…
to become a money-laundering lawyer like Lee Su-dong?
Oh, Son…
Do you still think you're in a position of power?
Say you become the attorney general or the president.
You think it'll earn you power?
Are you telling me to live like you
so that I can grovel and wag my tail at those with power?
You prick!
After everything, you still don't get it?
Money is real power.
I proved my power by bringing you down with just a single blow,
even at your most powerful!
The powerful can't wield money.
But the rich can wield power.
Before you retire, you should be where work is easier.
Prosecutor Jang's office is quite eventful, right?
Not really. I'm not doing much these days.
Have you decided where to go after your retirement?
Gosh, why do you ask? Will you set me up somewhere nice?
A law firm named Choi and Jang is looking for a legal adviser.
They are offering the senior position with the highest salary.
- My goodness. I'll contact them, then. - No.
You can tell me.
Excuse me?
If you want special treatment, you'll need my recommendation letter.
I see.
Speaking of which,
I've been worried about Prosecutor Jang.
Since he puts his ambition before our organization,
don't you think he's not well-suited as a prosecutor?
Also, his uncle has a number of issues.
So what?
Please keep him under control so he doesn't go overboard.
- And if he tries to do something funny... - You want me to report to you?
Oh, my.
I knew we'd be on the same wavelength.
Regarding your position at Choi and Jang, I'll make sure it's yours.
Are you really going to read through all that?
I told you I'm going back to square one.
I'm not too bright, but I'm made of patience and perseverance.
Gosh.
Why aren't you going home?
Let's just work late together.
All of a sudden?
My wife found out I lost out on all my investments.
I've been walking on eggshells around her.
Gosh. If I had known,
I would've taken all the bribes I was offered over the years.
Being a lone wolf only led me to lose out on my severance pay.
It's not too late to start now.
I'm sure many law firms will fight for your presence.
You think so?
- Choi and Jang gave me a generous offer. - Wow! No way!
With that news, your wife might actually forgive you.
I don't plan on accepting, though.
What? Why not?
I just don't click with those kinds of guys.
Gosh.
I think if your wife finds out, she might beat you to a pulp.
Man, what a waste.
I know it's a big waste of my competence.
- Prosecutor Jang. - Yes?
Starting now, why don't we conduct a real special investigation?
Seriously?
I'd be grateful if you'd be willing.
A special investigation is all about the flow.
At this point, It's not about catching Hwang. The key is to catch this guy.
I want to catch him too. But how?
He's on the wanted list.
The police are searching every nook and cranny to no avail.
The key is to follow the money.
Especially guys like this. You follow the money, you find them.
Money?
LEE SU-DONG
- I'll come pick you up at 9:00 a.m., sir. - Sure. Let me pay…
Take… Take this.
It's all right, sir.
- Thanks. - Did you drink with Dad?
But why is Mr. Kim coming to pick you up?
I am…
working with your father now.
What?
Why would you…
work with my dad?
Because the one with money is the one with power.
Manager Eun.
Aren't you the one who desperately wanted to bring down my husband?
So how am I supposed to believe that you'll save him?
Your husband's already ruined. What's the point of killing him twice?
With that flash drive, I intend to incriminate everyone.
Those who worked with the chairman in the manipulation case...
I'm wiping them out.
You mean…
you intend to destroy everyone around me?
The chairman's money doesn't satisfy you, right?
Even though your loan-shark father became filthy rich,
you knew early on that money wouldn't satisfy you.
You wanted your husband to fill that void.
Cooperate with me.
It's the only way your husband will get a second chance.
What is this?
Rat poison.
Gosh, are you feeling okay? Have some of this.
Goodness. I'm not okay. How much did I drink yesterday?
My gosh. You were chugging it down.
I'm surprised you're up so early.
Riding horses in the clean Mongolian air rides up your alcohol tolerance.
- So you drink like a horse? - What a lame joke!
It's refreshing. It's good.
Why? What's wrong?
Myung's daughter will cooperate with us.
Really?
Sailfin sandfish is in season now, so it's full of eggs.
The fish is from your hometown, Sokcho.
I mean, all the dishes look delicious.
But this one over here... This one is the real deal.
Let's give it a try.
It has just the right amount of spice and tastes just like home. This is great.
I'm glad you like it.
You must be going through a lot because of Gi-seok.
I understand why you invited me for a treat.
If he just weathers this storm, everything will work out, so don't worry.
I'll trust you, then.
Of course. Please do. We're basically family.
Thank you.
Enjoy your food and let me know if you want more.
Okay. This is great.
Yes, Mr. Kim.
I have the documents my dad left.
Yes. The one inside the Singapore bank envelope.
Okay. Come pick it up when you can.
- Director. - Yes?
Your wife likes our soybean paste, right? I'll pack you some.
Gosh, that sounds fantastic.
Please excuse me, then.
TRADE RECORDS
The envelope contains profit details from short trading, right?
Do you think he'll move as you expect?
He'll think Myung pocketed big
by short selling amidst the Bawoo Fund crisis.
He won't let Myung have it all alone.
Right. They won't investigate Chairman Myung and his illegal shorting.
Seeing the figures will make him greedy. It's a battle of greed against greed.
Myung will be in a pickle soon.
Let's eat.
What do you mean by that, all of a sudden? You're imposing a travel ban on me?
While our economy was collapsing,
I see you pocketed a great sum by short trading.
You think I wouldn't find out if it's overseas?
Didn't I show you my bank account at the prosecution?
You think I stashed money overseas?
Singapore. Somewhere in that country.
Being too greedy will lead you into trouble.
Goodness. All right. I understand what you mean, sir.
Okay. I'll visit you and bring a presentable gift, sir.
So please, I urge you to lift the travel ban.
That's none of my business.
I'm busy, so I'm hanging up.
That insolent bastard! Gosh!
Look at him trying to suck me dry.
What's wrong?
These corrupt, greedy prosecutors. They don't know when to stop.
- Who? - Who do you think?
Director of Inspections Nam Jae-wook.
Damn it.
Look here, Gi-seok.
Director Lee, or whoever he is... Go and discreetly find some dirt on him.
All right.
MISSED CALLS
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS
LEE YEONG-JIN
But…
I don't know how much he's asking, but since the situation isn't great,
try to appease them with money.
Look here, Son. You're only used to receiving. I doubt you'd understand.
If you start yielding to their needs, there'll be no end to their demands.
Sons of bitches who tempt their owner's food instead of their own
should be taught a lesson from the start.
These motherfuckers.
Chairman Myung's long-standing connections are closely knit and extremely strong.
External attacks will only make them create a stronger bond.
I must break them apart and make them vulnerable.
I found it... the suspicious money.
DEPOSIT 35 MILLION WON
- This is the retainer fee. - That's how it's been recorded.
But the retainer fee had been wired at 3:00 a.m.
Oh, that is strange indeed.
I'm certain that this is Lee Su-dong's gambling money.
Look here. The next day, the money was withdrawn.
It's plausible.
How did you see this?
When I was young,
my mom had a knack for getting gamblers to pay their tabs.
She taught you well.
There's only one kind of relationship between a man and woman
involving money sent at this hour.
So it's not his client, but his mistress.
Bingo.
I'll get a warrant for this.
Her bank-account or credit-card records might help us track down Lee.
You are such a quick learner.
But something crucial is wrong.
Whose approval do you need for a warrant?
Obviously, our chief...
If we share this with Chief Lee or the Bawoo Fund task force,
we might lose Lee forever.
I do know a chief who'll approve my warrant.
INVESTIGATION REPORT ILLEGAL TRADING OF BAWOO FUND
Why would you report this to me?
I want to capture Lee Su-dong alive. We can't let him be forced into suicide.
Did your uncle send you to me to collect my debt I owe him?
No, ma'am. I'm not working with him anymore.
Why not?
I'm a prosecutor.
The process has to be just as well as the result.
Is that so?
But coming to me to get your warrant is also a form of cheating, right?
Well, I mean,
that's true.
These kinds of moves aren't illegal or deceitful.
They are a technique.
An investigation technique.
If you need anything kept confidential, feel free to come to me.
Yes, ma'am. Salute.
- Where are you? - I'm sorry, sir.
I'm preparing for a meeting with the Supreme Office, so I can't go.
Then you should've told me in advance.
Don't you know I care most about being punctual?
Damn it.
Are you reporting to the attorney general? He likes summaries.
- Summarize first, then elaborate. - Thank you for the advice.
By the way, did you find anything on Lee Su-dong?
Why would you ask me that when I'm still wait-listed?
Aren't you working with your father-in-law now?
I hear Myung ordered his guys to look for Lee.
- Really? - Please look into it.
The higher-ups are pestering me.
I get it. I asked you to meet me today because...
Mr. Hwang, I'm busy right now, so please text me instead.
- No. I can't tell you this over text. - I'll call you after the meeting.
Please hurry up and look into Lee.
Yeong-jin…
He's a clever one,
so I'm sure he got the message by now.
But still,
if you neglect Mr. Hwang like this, those loyal to him will be disheartened.
"Those loyal to him"? You mean yourself?
Gosh, can you not read the room?
My goodness.
Power cannot have dry spells.
Soon you'll be promoted to chief.
You can continue Gi-seok's job without a hitch, right?
This is how you grab a chance.
What are you doing?
Oh, you're home.
It's been a while since I've cooked, so I can't vouch for anything.
Sit here.
What's wrong?
You don't like it?
Do you think…
you can stay married to me?
What?
Every time you see me, you'll be reminded of my dad.
The person who crushed your dream.
Don't worry.
I won't go down that easily.
Eat before it gets cold.
Why don't you work with Manager Eun instead of my dad?
I met with Manager Eun.
He has a plan of his own, and he wants to meet you.
The two of you may not have ended things well,
but you liked him when you cooperated with him.
Manager Eun is a much more suitable partner than...
I can't eat this.
It was my choice
to work with your dad.
I know. But...
It's my business, not yours.
I wish you wouldn't act out like the others.
I have enough on my plate, kissing up to those idiots.
Yesterday's meeting with Minister Son went well.
He decided to support us.
The Indian client's WTI futures keep dropping.
I'm all for funding Minister Son's political campaign.
He seems like a politician worth investing in.
But…
you seriously going to pour all your money into rebuilding a dead company?
Mrs. Yoon's company was based on a solid foundation.
In the long run, this investment is worth it.
In the short term, the rate of return was 4.76%.
Exactly.
Your forte is in short-term profits. So why suddenly play the long game?
You think it's easy to rebuild a delisted company?
I can bring in money by day trading like this.
Fine.
Let's assume you relist and invest in the company with your own money.
But re-listing depends greatly on the sustainability of the business item.
What business item does GMI Bank have?
Stock manipulation?
Then I'm in.
But do you think you can revive the company?
It's not GMI Bank I'm reviving.
It's Bluenet.
That's why Joon-gyeong went to meet him.
Who?
The youngest developer of Bluenet, their last director of development. Okay?
After Mrs. Yoon passed away,
was the loan shark who took over the company Myung In-ju?
Ever since Bluenet changed its name to GMI Bank,
all of the developers there got kicked out without any severance pay.
I will pay what's overdue once the company is back on its feet.
If you need more developers, we can always reinstate them.
The new investor
must be rich.
If you spearhead the development team again,
we have the budget and resources necessary...
Money doesn't matter anymore.
The chipset technology we developed back then.
Last year, an American company completed and registered a SEP.
Meaning, it's not ours to develop.
I'm aware of that.
But what we're trying to revive isn't the company's name but its spirit.
What we need right now isn't innovative technology,
but a true passion for development.
How refreshing.
Persuading developers with sincerity
is uncommon nowadays.
I have three more minutes to spare,
but if you're finished, I'd like to stand up.
This is the last business plan my mother wrote while behind bars.
If you still have a few minutes to spare, please take a look.
Thank you for your precious time.
How did it go with Dr. Cha?
He won't budge.
- Do we need another developer? - I'll keep trying until he budges.
My mom chose him herself, so I want to give it my best with him.
Why? Do you want another developer?
No. I'll leave that up to you.
Then what's with the look?
It's nice.
What is?
It's nice to see you think about something other than trying to get revenge.
What's that?
This is a popular game in Mongolia.
It helps you clear your head. Come here.
- It looks like chess. - Right. It's similar.
This is the bishop, right?
- Oh, you know how to play? - I know how to play chess.
This piece is like the knight in chess.
How's Prosecutor Jang doing these days?
Working late every day.
Like a chess pawn,
he is advancing little by little.
Your turn.
The knight, huh?
She sure ain't going easy.
Wow. Look at her monthly spending at department stores.
CREDIT CARD RECORDS
Prosecutor Jang, goodbye.
I'll be going home now.
All right. Bye.
Oh, Yun-ju. Prosecutor Jang and I will be out tomorrow morning.
- Okay. - See you.
Where are we going tomorrow?
Lee Su-dong's mistress
has been receiving hundreds of millions from a company in London.
We're going to London, then?
Gosh, that's just a paper company.
It turns out the company is renting an office in Cheongdam.
I see. I found something too.
His mistress went shopping every day using his credit card, spending a ton.
But after Lee's escape, she hasn't spent a dime.
You mean he's with his mistress right now?
Perhaps tomorrow, we may bump into him in Cheongdam.
Yes!

Your call cannot be completed…
Damn bastard.
Look here, you prick!
Why am I still banned from traveling?
What?
I gave Chief Lee a call last night.
Goodness, Gi-seok.
You still think you're the senior chief?
A phone call won't do shit!
You drink with the heavy drinkers and golf with the golfers!
You have to butter them up
in order to get what you want!
Yes, sir.
Any updates on Lee Su-dong?
What Chief Lee needs is information on him.
The traps are in place,
so we'll have him in a few days.
But whether he comes back dead or alive all depends on him.
I'll get going.
All right, Gi-seok.
Get your act together, okay?
Damn it.
Hold on.
If Lee is actually here, can the two of us take him?
- I'll call the cops and ask... - Come on.
I can take care of that lanky prick alone. It's not like he can jump off of here.
All you need to do is to guard this door and nothing else, okay?
Who is it?
I'm from maintenance. Could you please come out for a minute?
Maintenance? What's wrong?
Well, sir…
We're busy, so come back later.
Should I call the cops?
Damn it.
You brought handcuffs?
Didn't I fucking tell you to come back later?
I'm Investigator Nam Sang-il. Get out of our way or get handcuffed.
The guys from earlier... Myung sent them, didn't he?
So you weren't able to go to the department store
because you were held hostage?
If you file charges, you can put them behind bars,
and the police will protect you.
It's fine. I know them well.
Goodness. Have you been in touch with Lee Su-dong recently?
I told those guys the same thing earlier.
He gave me an email address to use in emergencies.
Why would you meet me at a place like this?
We could've had dinner instead.
Our office isn't doing so great, so I should be careful.
I see.
Did you get the file on the director of inspections?
If I'm correct, back when he was at the north office,
he covered up for a tax officer.
Mr. Hwang.
What? You didn't bring it?
You know I'm your right-hand man, right?
Of course I know.
I don't know about anyone else,
but I'll take care of you.
How will you do that?
- What? - The seniors from the Supreme Office
all know that I am your right-hand man.
So if you keep demanding things like this, you're putting me in hot water.
I'll continue to respect you as a former senior,
so don't go around causing problems.
Yeong-jin.
Did you…
Did you just tell me not to cause problems?
You…
are not a prosecutor anymore.
If you decided to support your prosecutor friends with Myung's resources,
then start by helping me out.
I need to secure my position so that you'll reap the benefits.
Also, keep the chairman under control.
Please do me a favor, Mr. Hwang.
CALLER ID - UNKNOWN
Hello. This is Jang Tae-chun.
This is Lee Su-dong.
It's Lee Su-dong.
Are you well?
Are you eating okay?
I'm still alive, unlike the rest of them, so I guess I'm all right.
Turn yourself in. I'll make sure you'll be protected under...
On one condition.
What is it? I'll do anything in my power...
Tell your uncle about me…
and ask to get me to a safe country.
Then I'll testify on video.
- Let me know when everything is ready. - Mr. Lee.
There are other ways we can protect...
Damn it.
What will you do?
The date of the press conference has been confirmed, as planned.
All right. Great job.
Hold on.
I'll call you back.
My wife told me…
that you have a plan.
This is what you want, right?
Lee Su-dong's condition is to ensure a safe passage abroad?
Then we should help him.
Sorry?
We'll set up a fake stowaway route
and capture him while he's testifying on video.
A sting won't be easy to pull off. He's quick and sly.
We have investigators here at the Incheon district
who are veterans at that stuff.
To make it look like Uncle's work, whatever the price,
we need to plan a fast and efficient route.
Okay. I'll look into the most expensive route.
We don't know where Lee will want to meet us,
so we need support to arrest him at the scene.
I'll select some reliable investigators.
Thank you.
This time, we'll capture him.
ONGOING CONSTRUCTION NOV '07, 2014 UNTIL COMPLETION
- All ready? - Yes, sir. This way.
FOR LEASE
Gosh.
Everything is ready.
We still have about 30 minutes.
Lee Su-dong will show up, right?
Let's wait and see.
Have you seen Attorney Park recently?
No.
I don't contact her either.
There's a rumor the opposing party will expose a prosecution corruption case.
I think it's related to the Bluenet case.
Revealing evidence may do nothing.
It might even backfire, since it's election season.
They'll figure it out.
We'll handle what's on our plate.
Sure.
Have you arrived?
SON SEUNG-JIN PRESS CONFERENCE
Yeah. I arrived safely today.
Okay.
Everything's all set over there?
Yeah, no issues here. Everything's perfect.
He's waiting for you.
He's here. I'll call you later.
Okay.
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
Manager Eun!
Gosh! Manager Eun.
My goodness.
Gosh.
I can't believe I'm seeing you alive.
It's so great to see you.
It must've been tough for you.
Yeah, I almost died.
THIS IS EUN YONG. CALL ME.
It's not the most comfortable place, but I can assure you it's the safest.
Of course. Everything's fine.
Being safe is all I need.
Gosh. Thanks to you,
I'll finally be able to relax and get some sleep.
This is great.
If you need anything else, tell the security team.
Oh, am I allowed to do that?
I see.
I'll make requests if I think of something.
Manager Eun.
Thank you so much. I don't know how I'll ever repay you.
Just keep your promise.
Of course.
Don't worry about that. I'm an eloquent speaker.
I'll give it my best.
Sure.
By the way, did something happen between you and Prosecutor Jang?
Why are you working separately?
Tae-chun is no longer…
on my side.
Oh, really?
I see.
- Rest up, then. - All right.
Prosecutor Jang.
There's been a leak.
- What? Who's the rat? - Assistant Park Yun-ju from our office.
Apparently, she handed her resignation just now over the phone.
Hold on.
We have her travel records.
INCHEON - AUSTRALIA
She left for Australia early this morning with an immigration visa.
- Fuck. - Damn it.
SON SEUNG-JIN PRESS CONFERENCE
Greetings.
My name is Son Seung-jin, the congressional candidate of Buksan.
I'd like to hold this press conference
to reveal the prosecution's past unlawful practices
of prosecutorial misconduct.
The late CEO Yoon fought to reveal the truth until her last breath.
Her daughter is here with us today. Please welcome Attorney Park Joon-gyeong.
My name is Park Joon-gyeong.
This flash drive contains the original copy of the ledger I rigged
and sent to Prosecution.
As I said before, the co-conspirator who ordered me to manipulate the ledger
is Prosecutor Hwang Gi-seok.
Furthermore, we have invited an insider who can testify to the truth
more accurately than anyone.
PROSECUTOR HWANG GI-SEOK AT PRESS CONFERENCE
SON SEUNG-JIN PRESS CONFERENCE
My name is Hwang Gi-seok.
First of all…
PROSECUTOR HWANG REVEALS TRUTH
…before I reveal the truth…
I express my sincerest apologies and deepest regrets
to the late CEO Yoon…
for the immense suffering
Prosecution may have caused her.
Goodness.
Wow.
WHISTLE-BLOWER HWANG GI-SEOK OFFERS "DEEPEST APOLOGIES"
He must be out of his fucking mind!
To follow up, Attorney Lee Su-dong will testify
as the key witness in this case.
Hello. My name is Lee Su-dong.
To reveal the truth of this photo,
Prosecutor Hwang Gi-seok was only present for a moment at the time.
Wow.
The crux of the meeting began after Hwang Gi-seok left.
You didn't know?
Chairman Myung of Bawoo Fund continued the meeting…
You had no idea.
…with Director of Inspections Nam Jae-wook and others.
You couldn't have known.
I believe this photo was distributed
by forces who colluded against Prosecutor Hwang Gi-seok.
Currently,
the only prosecutor I can trust is Hwang Gi-seok.
If he takes charge of this case,
I will turn myself in.
I'll do as you say.
I'll become your dog.
I'll bark upon your command,
and I'll bite when you wish.
I knew you were clever.
But if I do as you say…
what will I get in return?
If you obey my orders,
I'll make sure you recover
everything you have lost.
You're the one who snatched Lee Su-dong?
I thought we weren't going to talk about that.
What's your plan? Hwang Gi-seok as the whistle-blower?
You're really planning to work with him?
I already told you.
I need a prosecutor who'll fight to the end.
I will fight to the end. Not on your terms but with law and order...
You can't win with that.
So how much progress did you make?
You couldn't even capture Lee Su-dong.
You're right.
You're the one who paid off my assistant, right?
Her whole family emigrated, leaving not a trace.
And it screams you.
You have proof?
What's your plan when you can't win an easy battle like this?
Justice without intellect
is utterly useless.
From this point on…
I will atone for my past actions.
Starting with my family, to my predecessors,
I will investigate everyone without concession.
I, Hwang Gi-seok,
as a whistle-blower myself,
will fight to establish an upright and honorable Prosecution…
until the very end.
I will use Hwang Gi-seok
to wipe out everyone.
Why did you lie?
I suppose it's because you can just make evidence as needed.
Keep it up, sir. Bark and bite on command.
What's really important is…
Myung send you guys?
Our dear prosecutors gathered here today,
whose side are you on?
I plan to turn the tables. What do you all think?
What is it you two want? Revenge or something?
Keep an eye out.
Watch who becomes the real king.
