----
Minister, please put a nail on the hallway of the Blue House so that I can hang my portrait.
After receiving an applause for digging through an enlistment fraud case
and hearing the cheers for investigating politicians
if I touch a living authority
people will carry me on their back all the way to the Blue House.
'Living authority'?
Who?
My Minister, you've aged a lot.
Why do you have so much curiosity?
[Episode 11]
Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon has a dream of running for president.
He'll accuse you for all the corruptions he's involved in...
I heard.
Yeon Jin...
people lose the most precious thing at their most splendid moment.
Jung Hwan, you have the same illness that your father had.
That's how it was for me.
So I'll make that happen to Lee Tae Joon, too.
We'll get rid of Lee Tae Joon's right arm first.
Jo Kang Jae.
We already handed over the sponsor file that we could use to pressure him.
Prosecutor Shin's speed on investigation...
I'll make Ha Gyung's investigation happen.
It's the chef's fault if the food goes bad.
Why would the delivery man take the fault?
Tell me the name of the chef.
I'll close my eyes on the tip you received for making the delivery.
Senior Associate Lee Min Goo of the finance team in Myungho Construction.
You delivered 30 million won to Jo Kang Jae every month, right?
Whose order was it?
My boss...
What did the chef do wrong?
Tell me loudly who bought you the rotten ingredients.
You're the manager of the finance team in Myungho Construction?
Did the company president order directly to pay Jo Kang Jae in cash?
Yes.
President of Myungho Construction.
State your relationship with Prosecutor Jo Kang Jae truthfully.
You'll be arrested...
but I'll save you in a few months...
[Prosecutor until the last breath One month left, Fighting spirit]
Reporter Kim, your article is really great.
Let's smell some makeup tonight.
Alright.
Hyun Seon, get rid of the papers so that Mom can't see it. Now.
Now, who's going to listen to... our Jung Hwan's words?
Mom.
Statements from the senior associate and the manager of the finance team...
were all because of Prosecutor Park Jung Hwan's concession?
I believe that illegally obtained confessions can't be used as legal evidence.
It's been over 20 years...
On the day we said good-bye to your father...
I felt like I was completely alone in the world.
But Jung Hwan, you open the door
set my bedding and talked to me all night.
After I sent off your father...
Jung Hwan...
I lived on by leaning on my son's shoulders.
Jung Hwan...
if you leave...
who will open the door to my room?
Mom.
I'm sorry.
Jung Hwan!
For leaving you alone...
I'm so sorry.
Jung Hwan!
Just one year...
Just stay with me one more year.
See Ye Rin start school in spring...
eat all the watermelons you want in summer...
Why didn't I make rice cakes on Thanksgiving Day last year?
My son likes them so much.
Eat lots of rice cakes that I make this coming Thanksgiving Day...
Mom...
Take off the prosecutor's robe, forget about what's going on in the world...
Just one year.
Lean on my shoulders... just one year...
Just stay by my side for one year, Jung Hwan.
Just one year...
Jung Hwan...
Ye Rin is asleep. Jung Hwan's in his room.
Witness confessions for Jo Kang Jae's sponsor allegation...
All of them will become invalid.
You always tried to take shortcuts.
- Now, please... - Ha Gyung.
Ha Gyung...
I want to live.
Jung Hwan.
Just one year. No, just three months.
I really want to go to Ye Rin's first day of school.
Jung Hwan...
Let's get you hospitalized.
If you get treated in the hospital, maybe one more month...
Lee Tae Joon, Yoon Ji Sook, Jo Kang Jae...
Forget about them.
I'll remember them.
I'll remember... what they did to you.
I'll pay them back.
Then what about my life?
What's my life?
I fell for the trap that Yoon Ji Sook set up to save her son.
Leaving after making Lee Tae Joon the Prosecutor General...
Ha Gyung, what kind of life is this?
I'll punish them and I'll also get punished.
I can leave only after that.
Jung Hwan, your pain will get worse.
I'll have to get through it. I have to.
If you keep working too hard, you can leave sooner.
Ha Gyung...
I really can't stand... leaving them behind.
I'm sorry, Jung Hwan.
Just like when you were a rookie prosecutor...
if I stayed the same way, I thought you'd come back someday.
If I knew you'd leave like this, why did I act like that?
I shouldn't have said harsh words.
I should've just given you a hug.
I'm sorry, Jung Hwan.
You'll investigate Jo Kang Jae from the Inspection Divison of the Supreme PO?
We can conduct investigation on the suspect for corruption according to the rules.
Witness statements are retracted...
I didn't think you'd take on more than you can handle.
If I don't go out of my way...
he will end up going out of his way.
As a prosecutor, are you confident about Jo Kang Jae's sponsor case?
As a prosecutor, I'm not.
Even a day is a waste on Jo Kang Jae.
As Prosecutor Park Jung Hwan's wife, I'm asking for a favor, sir.
You'll get indigestion.
Eat slowly, slowly.
You said you were on a diet.
Don't eat too much. It looks like you gain more weight everytime you're on a diet.
Honey!
Right?
By any chance, are you Prosecutor Jo Kang Jae?
Excuse me...
but my son wants to become a prosecutor.
Could you take a picture with my son?
- Yes. - Thank you.
Thank you. Here I go. Honey!
One, two...
We're from the Inspection Division of the Supreme PO.
We're escorting you.
What's up with you?
Who sent you?
Please let us take you quietly.
- Honey! - Dad! Dad! Dad!
I had a dream last night.
I've never seen it rain so much!
It just poured a ton.
So I was going to go through the rain
and I was sure to get completely soaked, even my underwear.
So I was wondering what I should do...
All of a sudden, you appeared and shared a big umbrella with me
so I didn't even get a drop of rain.
But do you know where we walked into?
The Blue House.
Jeez... this Staff of Chief...
Is he the only busy one here? He called us here then...
Sir!
I heard your daughter became a college professor.
If she's a professor at 30, she'll be a president of college by 40.
After investigating politicians, I even heard cheers.
If I touch a living authority...
wouldn't people carry me on their back all the way to the Blue House?
Minister, cancel your recommendation for a presidential citation on Prosecutor Jo Kang Jae.
He was taken to the Inspection Division for suspicion of receiving sponsorship.
Did you? Did you take from Myungho Construction?
I am sorry.
I didn't even feed my family members.
I called your wife.
I told her that there was a mistake.
I promised her that you'd be home tomorrow morning.
Thank you.
I'll send a folding bed to the interrogation room.
It should help you get through the night.
Hey, let's go easy.
Seven years ago, I pulled up the kid...
who used to be my guy from the wall of the Inspection Division building.
Kang Jae is sitting on a chair...
It's no big deal to get him out.
If you get hurt as you go out of your way to get Prosecutor Jo out...
Kang Jae's mother is 80 years old.
She can't even hear well.
Before she hears about Kang Jae, we should send him home.
You said Jung Gook Hyun is controlling the Inspection Division?
Yes. Do you have anything you want me to do?
Prosecutor Choi...
do you remember how I got this far?
Jung Gook Hyun's son... is in college in the U.S.
He's probably being transferred to a prosecutor's office in Illinois by now.
Connect me to the governor of Illinois.
Jung Gook Hyun will be using that bed starting tomorrow.
- The governor of Illinois... - He'll be connected soon.
He'll request documents related to Jung Gook Hyun's son's marijuana possession.
If Prosecutor Jung Gook Hyun gets hurt, Prosecutor Shin Ha Gyung will get hurt, too.
Jung Hwan... release Jo Kang Jae.
- Proceed as planned. - Jung Hwan.
Let me use your phone.
We used to be friends.
She wouldn't answer my call.
This is Park Jung Hwan.
How is your condition?
Jung Hwan...
How do you expect my condition to be?
Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon is trying to get Jo Kang Jae out.
He'll hit Assistant Prosecutor General Jung Gook Hyun.
Let me ask you this.
Can you block Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon from going to the Blue House?
- I won't just watch it happen... - Jo Kang Jae...
Let's get rid of the right arm first.
Call the governor of Illinois.
Tell him not to answer Lee Tae Joon's call.
Hear the details from Ho Sung later.
Yes.
Minister, Governor of Illinois is on the line.
This is Yoon Ji Sook, Korea's Minister of Justice.
We were supposed to talk in 10 minutes. Where did he go?
He's not in the office?
Governor doesn't have a cellphone?
If you send the document requested by the Prosecutor General
you will be politically interfering, which may cause diplomatic issues.
Thank you, Governor.
Once we stop Lee Tae Joon's ambition for the presidential run, Jung Hwan...
'Who are you?'
God answered, 'I Am Who I Am.'
You are who you are, thanks to Lee Tae Joon.
Because you have to stop Lee Tae Joon.
What's different? Between you and Lee Tae Joon.
It's disappointing.
I'm going to show something different.
You won't have time to see...
It's really disappointing.
Jo Kang Jae is keeping silent.
That's how he's lived.
Enjoy the rights and avoid the obligations.
With what we have, Jung Hwan... we have to release him in the morning.
- That's the limit. - Thank you.
Jung Hwan, when I leave here tomorrow morning
I'll let you use this bed.
In this room.
Let me excuse myself while you exercise your right to remain silent.
Let me ask you just one thing.
Why did the Prosecutor General put a bed in here?
Why did he tell you to sleep without saying anything?
It's a difficult question. I'll give you a hint.
While I was asleep after the failed surgery
he put my wife in prison for a murder charge.
While you sleep, what is the Prosecutor General doing?
Sleep.
What is he doing?
Fold the blanket first.
Jung Hwan is talking to Kang Jae one-on-one?
It looks like he's trying to convince Jo Kang Jae.
With the condition of covering up the sponsorship case
confessions about you...
Enough.
Kang Jae served me for 20 years.
Even when I gave Jung Hwan warm rice and Kang Jae cold rice
as my right arm for 20 years...
The one who killed the king was
more often the right arm rather than the enemy, sir.
Where is Kang Jae's interrogation room?
If he only digs into Jung Gook Hyun's son, the outlook will flip.
So why isn't the Prosecutor General doing that?
I'm asking you, what is he doing?
If a rock is blocking the path to the Blue House...
would he carry it with him
or would he push it off the cliff?
I came to see my family member. Leave us alone.
[Arrived.]
Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon, Minister Yoon Ji Sook
The ring that connects the two...
Didn't you say you knew where it was?
The key you copied while Lee Tae Joon was in sauna...
Open the drawer with that key.
Then I'll open the door from the interrogation room.
If not...
feel free to go to sleep.
Release him.
Would Jo Kang Jae move the way you think?
It doesn't matter whether Jo Kang Jae moves or not.
Because Lee Tae Joon made up his mind.
I'm leaving.
Prosecutor Jo, make sure to stay by Tae Joon's side.
If a rock is blocking the path to the Blue House
would he carry it with him or would he push it off the cliff?
Kang Jae, let's have a beer.
Come here.
It's already been 20 years.
When we were rolling around in the Public Security Division
We drank soju when we caught a spy,
We drank beer when we caught a gang of spies.
Drink up!
Now the seat got higher...
dozens of people are around even for a drink.
It's been three, four years since we had a drink alone, right?
Sir, the truth is...
Did your daughter get into college?
Yes.
I'll look into her scholarship.
While you're not around.
I'll take care of your family's meals, too.
Sir, if you hear me out...
Yes, I came to hear you out but ended up watching you in action.
With a bastard who steals a key and goes through my drawer...
I can't work with him.
As soon as the sun rises, dismiss him.
Before the sun sets, add a couple of lines to the sponsorship charge
and issue an arrest warrant.
Sir... Sir!
- Take him out now! - Sir!
Sir! Sir!
Sir, sir! Sir!
Sir!
Make two suits based on my size from last year.
I'm going to wear one to a funeral, so make it black.
Early spring? Late winter?
Too bad. You don't even get to try on a new suit.
Jung Hwan...
my mother is 80 years old.
I have three kids...
Act cute... in front of the judge.
Jung Hwan.
Just spare me this time.
If you save me first.
Good-bye.
Jung Hwan. Jung Hwan...
Jung Hwan! Jung Hwan!
Jung Hwan!
Warrant was issued on Prosecutor Jo Kang Jae of the Anti-Corruption Division.
Mr. Jo Kang Jae received an applause from the citizens
for redemption of Ocean Capital's assets and investigation on the enlistment fraud case.
But it was confirmed that he received millions every month from his sponsor
so he was taken to the detention center.
Jo Kang Jae's sponsor is Myungho Construction.
In return for the bribe he received
Mr. Jo Kang Jae took care of legal issues that arose in planning and construction.
Because of Mr. Jo Kang Jae who crashed from a national hero to a 'sponsor prosecutor'
everyone at the Prosecutor's Office is in shock right now.
Next news.
The whole country knows that Jo Kang Jae is a close aide to Lee Tae Joon.
Maybe Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon will resign over this...
Let's start from the base makeup.
Find out Lee Tae Joon's next plan.
Our color makeup will change based on Lee Tae Joon's base makeup.
I know it's difficult to meet in the Supreme Prosecutor's Office building.
There are also a lot of eyes around Seocho Dong.
But why would you want to meet in a makeup store?
Sixty-two years old this year.
She's not old enough yet
but maybe because she's gone through too much in her whole life...
she's about to get age spots on her hands.
Grandma, eat the strawberry.
Dad.
Did you have a fight with Grandma?
She's really strange.
After she heard you coming, she went into her room.
Does she not want to see you?
You might cry if you see me
and that will sadden me. I know that's why you're avoiding me, Mom.
It's okay to cry.
Even if you cry... I want to see you a lot.
When I'm not around, who's going to hold my mom's hands?
Mom, make sure to put this on three times a day.
Every time you put it on...
think of it as I'm holding your hands.
Mom, you should live to 100 years old.
Tell me when you see me much later.
How Ye Rin grew up, what kind of a guy Ye Rin's husband is...
You have to tell me, Mom.
[Prosecutor's Office in crisis, Ripple from the sponsor scandal]
The public opinion is not good because of Jo Kang Jae's sponsor case.
Please pay attention in establishing discipline in the Prosecutor's Office.
I guess the article below that will look really big in your eyes.
[Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon, will he take responsibility and resign]
Minister, help me stay under the umbrella in times like this.
If I get any rain...
you and your son will share a dinner table in prison.
Tae Joon...
Unload all the baggage that I gave you
and fly up high.
I summoned Chief Prosecutors of the branch offices nationwide.
If you tell me the topic of the meeting, I'll get ready.
Prosecutor General Lee summoned Chief Prosecutors of the branch offices nationwide.
Prosecutor General Lee is in danger because of Jo Kang Jae's case.
It looks like Prosecutor General Lee is thinking of provoking a living authority.
Prosecutor General Lee Tae Joon...
will expand the fight to a battle between the Prosecutor's Office and the administration.
If he wins in this fight...
Ho Sung...
he will received the strongest national support since the foundation of this country.
We stole from Ocean Capital's safe and filled up the country's storage with 10 trillion.
We locked up the ones who committed an enlistment fraud.
We walked this far with our eyes only on the people.
Everyone.
Let's go with this case with our eyes only on the people.
Isn't he Chief of Staff at the Blue House?
Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan.
His daughter became a college professor at the age of 30.
Let's dig and find out how the cushions were laid out.
We have more than 2000 prosecutors.
We have all kinds.
Jo Kang Jae ate dirty money, got sick and fell down.
Newspapers, TVs look at our Prosecutor's Office like a toilet.
How can we look straight in the eyes of our children?
Do you want to look straight into your kids' eyes?
Yes.
'I am a prosecutor!'
- Do you want to say it with pride? - Yes!
Good.
Let's get him.
Would Lee Tae Joon really touch the Chief of Staff?
This is how he does things.
Hitting a strong guy makes the people go wild.
Our Prosecutor General uses strong cosmetics for his base makeup.
- Then our color makeup should also... - Let's go with a strong one.
The PO began investigating on the allegation that Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan exercised
undue pressure in the process of his daughter Kim Yeo Sook's appointment as a professor.
Her thesis wasn't good enough, and she has no research results.
She ranked seventh out of eight applicants.
But the next day, she came in as a professor.
Isn't Chief of Staff the tile that works for the country?
So how could he use the power that was given by the people for his own daughter?
[Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan Question of exerting undue pressure]
Jeez, the father only looked for his daughter's job.
Why did people become so stingy?
Prosecutor General, stop the investigation.
Sir, young prosecutors these days might listen to their wives, but not me.
I told them to stop dozens of times...
I know you're behind this.
What did you say? Me?
Sir, even when I drink tea in front of you...
I drink it without making a noise like this.
I'm behind it? Nonsense...
I'm disappointed!
If this is confirmed as true
he will resign.
And you will become a hero who fought against the live administration.
I am a prosecutor.
Whether they curse at me or clap for me...
I'll only look at the people and focus on investigation.
Oh, right...
The chief prosecutor of the Anti-Corruption Division is empty.
Why don't you pick on from here?
Let's wait for a few days.
If he wins in this fight
he will received the strongest national support since the foundation of this country.
Minister, maybe Jung Hwan can stop this.
It's only been a day since Jo Kang Jae was arrested.
I want to be cautious about the replacement.
Everyone in the Anti-Corruption Division
come to my office right now.
You know the bylaws of the Prosecutor's Office?
In case of the chief prosecutor's absence
Chief of the Investigation Team carries out all the duties.
I asked you a question.
- Do you know? - Yes!
As of this moment, all of your tasks are on halt.
[Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan]
Everyone from the Anti-Corruption Division
will be assigned to investigate the Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan's daughter's case.
Excuse me, it belongs to the Prosecutor General, so a special team...
We'll be on the side of Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan.
Standing against the Prosecutor General?
Two years for the Prosecutor General.
The administration has three more years left.
Hey, my old friend... what are the Minister's thoughts?
The Minister also wants to raise the hand of Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan.
Hey, you with a short arm...
when you get confused about if you should hold this rope or that rope...
grab the rope that's close to you.
Yes.
[Woorim University, Chair of Japanese Literature Noh Young Jin]
This is the guy who gave source to Prosecutor General Lee.
Lee Tae Joon's friend.
Jeez, Young Jin!
The Prosecutor General is pushing it, so what are you scared of?
When we were in high school, we were group leaders.
You were in Group One, and I was in Group Three.
But now I became the Prosecutor General
so you should become president of a university.
Right?
Chair Noh Young Jin.
Thesis, degree, research grant...
Shake off the pants of anyone who brushed against him even once.
If we shake off Noh Young Jin but don't find anything?
I said he's Lee Tae Joon's friend.
The Supreme PO feels unsettled.
The Prosecutor General is butting the Chief of Staff at the Blue House...
And Prosecutor Park Jung Hwan is butting the Prosecutor General.
But why is my wife butting me?
Prosecutor Shin, my sister-in-law went to school where Chair Noh Young Jin is.
There is a weird rumor about Noh Young Jin among the students.
It's so weird...
Detective Oh Dong Choon...
Me?
I can't work for you anymore.
I can't get my investigation expenses reimbursed. I'm in a very awkward situation...
Meet with alums, students and teaching assistants from that major.
Wow, everyone has such a different taste.
What's this? Mulberry? Wow, that looks good.
I'm one of the nicest guys in the Prosecutor's Office, so you can trust me.
Now, should we talk about what Chair Noh Young Jin did?
When the dad goes to the shadow of the island to pick oysters
the baby stays home alone.
I'm not sleeping.
From the sound of the lullaby that the ocean sings...
Dad, learn and sing another song for me tomorrow.
Now I've been listening to the same song for three days, I can't fall asleep.
Okay?
From the sound of the lullaby...
the baby puts her head on her arms and falls asleep.
The wind by the river is cold. Make sure to wear warm clothes.
Have this. It's still warm.
I drink my own tea.
Jung Hwan...
my brother left... and Kang Jae left, too.
I'm going to forget it now.
So you should forget, too.
What should I forget for you?
When I was in bed, you made my wife stay in prison?
Taking my pain reliever that I can't get because it's illegal?
To a soldier who got wounded and fell behind in a war
you were going to put everything on him and walk straight ahead.
But he keeps grabbing your ankle. Does it make you scared?
When you fell behind, I should've shot you with a gun.
What's that friendship...
When I got Chairman Kim Sang Min's written confession...
I should've put handcuffs on you.
Jung Hwan... let's talk honestly.
You're leaving anyway.
And the kids in the Anti-Corruption Division will remain.
Don't twist the lives of those kids who will remain.
If they come after the Prosecutor General
and end up losing their prosecutor's badge
then how will you take responsibility?
I heard that the Anti-Corruption Division is digging through the outhouse of Noh Young Jin.
Noh Young Jin is a born scholar.
He didn't even take a dime.
Do you think I didn't even check on that before I put him in front?
I put my kid to sleep.
She wakes up when I'm not around.
Let me ask you one thing before I go.
Do you know any lullabies?
Jung Hwan... life is 'come empty-handed, leave empty-handed.'
It is 'come empty-handed, leave empty-handed.'
To you as well.
'Park Jung Hwan Gate.'
When I leave, you'll put all your corruptions on my rack.
You should forget that first.
Just my load is heavy enough.
Let's carry our own baggage.
-Jung Hwan... - For the past seven years...
I didn't know when I was stepping on other people's lives with you...
but now my life got stepped on
I can't stand it.
Jung Hwan...
you're only a chief of a team...
and I'm the Prosecutor General.
I'll take one step a day.
In ten days, I'll grab your neck.
It'll hurt.
You should buy this tea.
It has nice aroma... and eases pain, too.
Chair Noh Young Jin's degree, thesis, research grant...
Everything's clean.
There is no problem.
His research performance is good, too.
- Change the direction of investigation... - There is no other way.
Fraud on the appointment of Chief of Staff's daughter is a fact.
If we can't refute it with a message, we'll attack the messenger.
Turning Noh Young Jin into someone who can't be trusted.
That's the only way.
We need a card that can knock out Noh Young Jin in one punch.
How have you been?
Jung Hwan, you've become very patient.
I don't think I'd be able to stay in the same room.
Even when you catch a drug dealer
you get help from a drug dealer.
Send away Noh Young Jin with this.
It can't be from a proper channel of investigation.
Investigation under the table, illegal deals...
You'll regret this.
I'll regret it.
But still...
I'll have time to regret it at least.
Finish it up quickly and go on a trip with your mother.
Noh Young Jin... really is a friend of Lee Tae Joon.
Sir, we have to stop here.
We have no other evidence right now.
Just with Noh Young Jin's word alone...
we can't go head-to-head against the Blue House.
Let's try it.
I'll stand in front.
My body will become powders.
Anyone who's afraid of breaking a finger
should take off the prosecutor's badge!
And leave.
Lee Tae Joon plans to go head-to-head against Chief of Staff Kim Sung Chan.
Wait.
A landmine will explode soon... under Lee Tae Joon's foot.
I'll take one step a day.
In ten days, I'll grab your neck.
