It was me.
I was the one who met Park Moo Sung on the night before he died.
I acted alone.
And I'm the one who called him from the Civil Affairs Office.
I met with him to ask him to reveal that he'd framed my father.
And that he hadn't accepted a bribe.
Park Moo Sung was the one who provided the money
but only the person who delivered it was punished.
And when I'd found out who'd supplied the money
Park Moo Sung had already been in debt.
You have nothing to lose anyway, so you'll do whatever I ask?
But...
he just laughed in my face.
That son of a bitch...
dared to belittle me, mocking me for being a female prosecutor.
I'm so much better than him.
I'm all that my family has.
And yet, that bastard belittled me.
It wasn't me.
I understand why you went to go speak to my father all of the sudden
why you asked about my ex-boyfriend, and told the police about me.
But I didn't kill him.
Why would I kill Park Moo Sung?
I had to get a confession from him to prove my dad's innocence.
Because he was no help to you while he was alive
but he'd at least become a topic of discussion if he died. Like right now.
Killing a person just so they become a topic of discussion?
Why did you eavesdrop, then?
You were there when that detective from Yongsan came, right?
I didn't kill him.
Forgive me.
Prosecutor!
Prosecutor Hwang!
Huh?
And why did you feign ignorance when you knew about everything?
What is it that you think I know, exactly?
The deputy chief is the culprit.
He was being blackmailed by Park Moo Sung.
He has such a strong motive, so why did you assume it might be me?
Because you were rejected and looked down upon.
Is that a weak motive, then?
You're the last person Park Moo Sung saw before he died.
And you would've kept quiet about that until the end if I hadn't found out.
Did you want to confess to me since I knew about all of this anyway
and place all the blame on the deputy chief?
Is that what this is?
What about the woman, then, if I am the culprit?
Why would I have stabbed a woman I didn't even know?
You could just be saying that.
What if, after you were thoroughly angry after being rejected by CEO Park
you stumbled upon that girl?
Did you ask her to reveal her relationship with the deputy chief
only to have that young whelp flat-out refuse you?
That's why you decided to change your approach, right?
You thought that you'd use that girl to punish the deputy chief
and to warn him.
That was what you thought, right?
Looks like I was putting on a weak act when I was actually a malicious person.
I carried and tied up a woman who'd fainted
and yet, I couldn't even lift something like that.
I'm so, so sorry to have disappointed you.
Yeah, you tied her up to be seen by the whole world.
Why would the deputy chief do that if he were the culprit?
That's--
Why would he do that when he'd want to take care of this quietly?
Where are you going?
The cafeteria.
How could you go there now, when--
If I don't go now, they'll be closed.
He could've done it to make sure nobody suspected him.
See? Even you are saying "Why?" right now.
He wanted that, and...
[Episode 6]
Prosecutor.
If a cop's fingerprint was found on the murder weapon
that was discovered at the scene of the crime
would the prosecution hold back and wait?
Whoa! Put that down.
Would the prosecution hold back and wait?
Huh?
Are we just supposed to leave the culprit alone because he's a prosecutor?
Of course not.
So why do we have to sit back and wait, then?
He said that he touched the weapon to reenact what happened at the crime scene.
How are we supposed to believe him when nobody saw him do it?
Fine, go catch him. I'll report to the chief again.
Let's go.
Hey, let's hurry.
I... I saw him.
I saw Prosecutor Hwang reenacting the crime at Park Moo Sung's home.
Wait, when?
On the day we found out that Kang Jin Seop wasn't the culprit.
That's when he touched it.
Prosecutor Hwang reenacted the crime, and that's when we found out
that the culprit had pretended to be Park Moo Sung
to be captured on the dash cam on purpose.
- Really? - Yes.
Why else would she say this?
If you can't believe her, just go and arrest him.
But why didn't he say anything about her seeing him, then?
Did you go to see him immediately that day?
Is that why you two were together, and...
No, I didn't go to see Prosecutor Hwang. I went to go revisit the scene!
Also, we weren't just together. We were reinvestigating.
Where were you at that time, then, Sergeant Kim?
Wow.
Of course.
You all had a witness right in front of your faces
and yet caused such a ruckus?
You should communicate better with your coworkers.
Yes, you're right.
You should communicate better with your coworkers, too.
We wouldn't have gone through all this if you did.
Team Leader.
It could be that Park Moo Sung and Kim Ga Young
didn't first meet at the hostess bar.
What do you mean by that?
Wow, unbelievable.
Park Moo Sung's son, Park Kyung Wan, who went to the army
was a year apart from Kim Ga Young and went to her high school.
A year?
They must know each other, then.
I went back after classes and asked the students
but it's been two years since Park Kyung Wan graduated
so barely anybody knew him.
But Kim Ga Young was quite famous among the students for being pretty.
She ran away from home at the beginning of her senior year
and hadn't been to school since then, but a lot of kids remember her.
Wait, so you're saying that he brought his son's friend to a hostess bar?
And he also sent her four to five million won every month, at that?
Wow, what an unexpected twist!
No, no, I don't know if they knew each other yet.
I'm going to go to the army barracks tomorrow, and...
Wait, which unit is he part of, again?
Head over there first thing tomorrow!
Yes, sir!
Park Moo Sung's son, Park Kyung Wan, who went to the army
was a year apart from Kim Ga Young and went to her high school.
Wait, so you're saying that he brought his son's friend to a hostess bar?
What a peculiar development.
No way. The folks at Yongsan were probably just making a random guess.
They put a stop to the internal audit related to bribery, right?
- Yes, sir. - Let's continue it.
Do you honestly think that he could actually be the culprit?
Is there something that our unit is unaware of?
Based on our investigation
Prosecutor Hwang didn't have those sorts of ties with CEO Park.
There are people who do things without any motive nowadays.
Being good at your job isn't everything.
I do have to acknowledge that he's of a different breed.
Whether he may just be outstanding, or outstandingly evil
let's be the first to figure it out.
Are you implying that he may have multiple personalities?
[From Hansung Resort's Security Team]
[Download failed]
Look into him. That's your specialty, after all.
Yes, sir.
The scent of a woman's perfume.
A mask.
Sunglasses at night. Perfume.
He met with a woman while having his face covered.
Is Father-in-law sleeping?
He went to that place.
The way that woman's body was positioned was quite unusual.
Yeah, that's true.
So he'd already drawn a connection between me and the woman, eh?
Honey.
If I weren't a certain someone's daughter...
would you still have remained by my side?
What are you saying all of the sudden?
Would you stay with me?
No, I would've left a long time ago.
I see.
If you weren't your father's daughter
I would have left your father a long time ago.
Okay.
Just put them in the sink. The cleaning lady is coming tomorrow.
I heard that she's young and pretty.
Who are you talking about?
The woman they're talking about on the news.
You...
must be so upset, Honey.
She spent 13 minutes total in that room.
It could've gone either way.
Was the deputy chief telling the truth?
What's going on here? She's smiling.
Have you forgotten what that girl's nickname was?
Have you forgotten what CEO Park used to call her?
Bell.
Because she'd always come out if you rang her.
Because she was just like a doorbell that would answer if you pressed it.
Do you really think that CEO Park rang Bell up just for me?
He choked me and threatened to kill me, so I had no choice but to tell him.
But I wrote down his license plate number.
Still, I never imagined that this would happen.
That crazy bastard is the culprit!
He once broke a kid's finger right in front of the teacher.
That's why everyone called him a psycho!
You should feed yourself, at the very least.
You didn't think to tell them because you were starving, right?
Yes, I'm sure it had a huge effect on you.
If a person says it themselves, it sounds like an excuse
but if I told them that I saw Prosecutor Hwang touching the knife
it would've made all of their suspicions and doubts evaporate.
You didn't even care about seeming like a traitor
in front of all of your coworkers when you were innocent.
But you know...
I have no intention of corroborating that fact
but I will order you some soup and rice at the detention center.
Prosecutor Suspect.
If Kang Jin Seop knew about this, he'd be rolling in his grave
crying out about this unfair treatment for the privileged.
I'm not privileged, either.
Did you know Kim Ga Young too, Prosecutor?
On a personal level?
Well, did you?
The two of you were really--
Oh, you surprised me.
Who was in the room at the end of the hall?
Your chief's friend.
Thank you.
You're the culprit, aren't you, Lieutenant?
What?
You said that the culprit was framing me because they had a grudge against me.
Wow, I never!
How could you say that to me when I just bought you a meal?
So, what's this grudge that I supposedly have against you?
I'm not sure about that part.
But if someone were to frame me
they would've had to have known that I touched the knife.
No matter how much I think about it, you're the only one who knows that.
Then, was someone else besides us there at that time?
No way!
I'm sure that they didn't call Kang Jin Seop either, then
if they were trying to make me out to be the murderer.
Then, maybe they're not trying to put the blame on you, but...
They're toying with me, or trying to draw me in.
Why? And to where?
Who knows?
Let's just shut up, catch the culprit, and ask them, just as you said.
I really have to see their face now.
Don't get dragged in too deep.
Even though I'll manage to pull you out somehow.
What is it?
Well...
Are you a middle-aged fan of theirs?
I heard this song when I'd called the woman's phone.
That was already after she'd been kidnapped.
Even though I wasn't aware of that fact at the time.
From which point in the song?
Just the chorus? Or from the beginning?
- Does that matter? - From which point?
Hm... I don't know... I don't know...
Huh? Are we even talking about the same song, here?
About the man who was at the end of the hall at that resort...
it wasn't the prosecutor in charge of Kim Ga Young's case?
Seo Dong Jae? No, why?
That song is that person's ringtone!
You didn't know, when you see him every day?
We keep our phones on vibrate at work, so...
Well, now you know.
You two, again?
- Was it from that part? - Yes, from that part.
Hwang Shi Mok!
What are you doing?
What? What do you want?
Pardon?
Did you call him by accident?
Oh, I did. I apologize.
This means that he has Kim Ga Young's phone.
What if it's in that suitcase?
He definitely wouldn't just leave it around somewhere.
What'll we do if he throws it out?
Let's go to the starting point.
Welcome!
Oh, we have a couple here!
Do you two have some sort of fetish?
This perfume... you were the one who made Prosecutor Seo smell like this, huh?
And it's been about two or three hours since you saw him.
Why did you meet with him again after meeting with him the day before?
Was it to keep it a secret that you told him Kwon Min Ah's address?
Meet... who, now?
I didn't.
This isn't the same perfume.
It's not. It's completely different.
You have a room, right?
Come in.
You want the basic set, correct?
Oh, thank you.
During your confession, you said that you didn't have Kwon Min Ah's address.
Why did you lie?
Who said that I was lying?
I'm sure that you had no other choice, since a prosecutor threatened you.
And you didn't know what would happen to you if you displeased him.
Is that why you said that you didn't know it up front
but told him in secret?
There's no way that the young ladies would stick around long at a place
where the owner leaks their addresses.
So, even if that's why you lied...
You must be great at keeping secrets
seeing as how you kept your mouth shut even when someone was stabbed.
How dare you come to my place of business and do this?
She was found in such a terrible state, and you're a woman as well.
You know her struggles as well as she does.
And yet, you were that focused on only saving yourself?
You told some strange man where she lived
and then she was found in someone's bathroom, covered in stab wounds.
Yet, you were only worried about how this would harm you?
No!
It is true that I told him her address.
And I did tell him in secret since he was causing such a commotion.
But that prosecutor didn't do it.
How do you know that?
I told him Min Ah's address, but he came back here two or three hours later
saying that Min Ah had already fled!
He even had drinks here before he left!
Oh, come now! Why are you acting like such an amateur?
You must have seen tons of things in your line of work, and you believed that?
It was clear what would happen
so he came back to tell you that he couldn't find her
and that she ran away to create an alibi!
And all of this had occurred to you already, hadn't it?
He's a prosecutor.
Who can we trust in this world if not prosecutors?
You had to believe him.
Because that was the only way for you to free yourself of the blame.
You're the one who leaked her address, so he mustn't be the one who stabbed her.
It's not like that--
Around what time did you tell him her address?
You said that he came back here, yelling about how he lost Kwon Min Ah, right?
Was it right after that?
Oh, so you couldn't even withstand a few minutes of pressure.
Then, what did you discuss with him today when you met him?
"Things have come to this, so you never told me, and I never went to that house."
Is that what you two decided, for both of your sakes?
Everyone looks down on us.
Everyone is asking about who was stabbed
but they have no interest in the actual person who was stabbed.
That's to be expected, though, since she's an escort!
You people do nothing about the people who beat the women in my industry
so why are you here now, trying to make me out to be the bitch?
So?
Are you saying that you'll side with the people who stab and beat women, then?
Is it because you're scared?
Did Prosecutor Seo blackmail you?
If you're going to drink, you can stay. Otherwise, leave.
Business has suffered enough since one of my girls got stabbed.
Would it make you feel better...
if I told you you're not the only one who leaked Kwon Min Ah's address?
The taxi driver spilled it, too.
He told her address to a man he called a crazy bastard, but did nothing
in case he'd lose business.
That son of a bitch!
But at least he reported it to the police.
What did you do?
Oh, you're here often!
The person who found this place was Prosecutor Seo
and he was targeting that girl.
You must have had your doubts about him, so why didn't you tell me about him?
I didn't keep it from you on purpose.
- I guess I'm like them, too. - What do you mean?
With the other people at work.
Prosecutor Seo doesn't have any alumni from his school working with us.
Are you saying that Prosecutor Seo didn't graduate from S University?
So what?
He's sticking right by the deputy chief's side for now.
But let me put it this way. He doesn't get the best performance ratings.
Oh, so you thought that he wouldn't be able to figure out where the woman lived.
Even though you could.
So you felt superior to him, huh?
I felt superior to him?
I didn't realize I was capable of feeling such things.
Despite everything, Prosecutor Seo did pass the bar exam
so you shouldn't have looked down on him so much.
What else is that, if not feeling superior?
You're right.
To think that the only emotion I feel is a feeling like that.
Hearing you put it like that makes it sound like you don't feel other emotions.
Just a second.
Look, here.
I'll explain this to you in a way that is easy to understand.
Here.
Why did you dissect the brain?
What do you mean, dissect? I'm drawing the structure of your brain.
Here, look.
This much is your willpower to solve the case.
Okay?
This small part here is your feeling of superiority.
This much right here is your obsession with soup and rice, or whatever.
What's this, then?
Your other emotions.
You may not show them, but I'm sure they exist.
Whether they may be good or bad.
Well, I don't know.
Do you believe in aliens?
- Yes. - Why?
Because it'd be a waste of space otherwise.
Exactly.
The same idea applies here.
Here, a present for you.
Let's go.
Get in.
Get in! I'll give you a ride.
Wait, let's see here.
How do we know what Prosecutor Seo did after this?
There are some people who don't need alibis.
Do you think he hired a hitman, or something?
It's not like this is a Hong Kong action flick.
Prosecutor Seo has personal connections.
From the criminals he met from taking on certain cases
to chairmen of large corporations.
Who else are you suspecting besides Prosecutor Seo?
Hm?
You said "people," not "person."
"People" who don't need alibis.
Is there another person who could have something taken care of
without getting any blood on their own hands?
Well, if we're talking about the people from the CCTV footage from the resort...
Oh, the chief of police?
He's a potential suspect, too.
We have another suspect here, too.
Crime even breaks the trust between us two.
Crime sure is something, huh? How sad.
Between us two?
Yes, why?
Have a good night.
Wow.
[Kim Ga Young - Kyung Wan, Park Moo Sung]
[Prosecutor Hwang, Police Chief]
[Prosecutor Hwang]
Stand up straighter when you walk, will you?
Why does he always walk around like that?
It doesn't suit him.
It makes him look like a timid person.
Oh, you.
Are you really back for good now, then?
Yeah, I'm not leaving anymore. I got out early.
Oh, thank you!
Thank you, everyone at the military!
Grandma.
I'll stay by your side from now on, okay?
I won't go anywhere anymore.
Oh, you.
And now, for our next story.
The victim's identity was revealed, but she is still in a coma.
The victim, who had initially been identified as Ms. Kwon, a 25 year old
turned out to be 20-year-old Ms. Kim, who worked at a hostess bar
And the police are ascertaining whether or not she has ties to Mr. Park Moo Sung.
Additional statements are being collected from the family and friends of the victim
and the area near where the incident occurred...
I'm sorry, but could you change the channel?
All right.
On the other hand, the prosecutors...
But you don't seem to have any of your things.
Oh, I left them at my friend's place since I wasn't sure what would happen.
Oh. But still, you'll need a change of clothes.
Let's go together.
Oh, it's fine.
It's fine. I'll drop you off since I was on my way out anyway.
Where are you going at this hour? You can't even get any rest!
I know, right? But it's an emergency, so...
Let's go.
Oh, but I don't think the buses will be running by the time I head back.
Where's your friend's house?
In Yongin.
There's the issue of the bus, but going to someone's home this late isn't proper.
I'll just go there by myself tomorrow morning.
Sure.
All right, then. Get some rest.
You're heading out again without even getting any sleep.
You've only managed to change into different clothes.
Excuse me!
Yes?
I'm sorry, but around when can we head back home?
You're going to go back to that house?
Yes, since we don't really have anywhere else we can go.
And it is my grandmother's home, so...
That is true, yes.
She gave up her inheritance rights quickly and managed to save the home.
I was the one who told her to do that.
You remember Kim Ga Young, right?
Um, yes.
Did you know that it was Kim Ga Young who is on the news?
Yes.
How?
The people who saw the photo that was posted online said it looked like her.
I wasn't too sure at first, but I ended up believing it later
because of texts from my friends and such.
Were you two close?
Oh, no, no. I've never even exchanged words with her.
She was famous enough to have kids from other schools come to see her
and I was just... well...
I have no idea why she was found in my grandma's home, though.
What happened?
We're still investigating.
Come to the police station tomorrow.
Um, why me?
It's just to give a simple referential statement.
Your grandma gave one, too.
Just tell your grandma that you're going to get your things.
Okay?
All right.
At any rate, thank you for Grandma and everything.
It's nothing. Head back inside, then.
All right.
[Delete Image? - Yes]
[Did you guys see the news about Ga Young? OMG.]
[To think she was really a hostess!]
[Didn't you used to like her, Kyung Wan?]
[Leave group chat room - Yes]
What do you want to eat?
Oh, just about everything!
Actually, I'm not that hungry.
Why not? Tell me! I'll make it for you.
Hm. Well, what do you want to eat, Grandma?
I'll buy you anything to commemorate being released from the army.
Oh.
Oh, why are you crying again, Grandma?
Don't cry, okay?
Your other emotions.
You may not show them, but I'm sure they exist.
Why didn't they finish her off?
Maybe they wanted to inflict a greater punishment upon them
so that she'd be of no use even if she did wake up.
Did you secretly join forces with someone who is trying
to prevent me from getting promoted?
Join forces?
With whom?
I didn't kill her.
The woman.
I didn't kill her.
The woman.
A warning. A punishment.
Someone who has the ability to punish the deputy chief.
[Lee Yoon Bum]
[Deputy Chief]
[Seo Dong Jae, Young Eun Soo, Young Il Jae]
[Chief of Police]
The people who wanted Park Moo Sung dead.
People who want Kim Ga Young to disappear.
[Lee Yoon Bum]
[Deputy Chief, Seo Dong Jae]
[Young Eun Soo, Chief of Police]
Someone who'd want to punish the deputy chief.
[Lee Yoon Bum, Seo Dong Jae, Young Eun Soo, Young Il Jae]
[Young Il Jae]
Have you been doing well?
Did you really ask to meet me because you were curious about how I was doing?
Hwang Shi Mok.
Please protect my daughter, Eun Soo.
I'm begging you.
She's still quite young.
She may think that she knows everything
but she doesn't know how cunning this world can be.
She knows nothing about people's true characters.
She's just a young puppy.
A spring chicken who is confused because she has intellect and power.
You are the one who taught me not to be a prosecutor
who merely cares about his paycheck, Professor.
If she snoops around and gets noticed by someone else...
I'm sure that the girl who was mutilated thought she could protect herself, too.
I'm sure that she was confident in her power to manipulate men, at her age.
I couldn't even read that article.
Who is the true culprit?
Why are you asking me that?
You're not worried that Prosecutor Young will fulfill her duty
and do her best to catch the culprit.
If the person who caused your demise three years ago
and true culprit behind this incident were not the same person
there would be no need for you to worry
that Prosecutor Young would end up like that woman.
And you didn't ask me to protect Prosecutor Young because you trust me
but because you believe that the culprit is always near the two of us.
Are you talking about Chang Joon?
No.
I brought Chang Joon up into who he is today.
You only spent six months with me at the school
but Chang Joon and I spent 10 years together.
But he disregarded the long time you two spent together and betrayed you.
And yet, you still trust him?
People are born with specific natures.
The true nature of a person never changes.
He spent 10 years with you, and then 10 years apart from you.
He changed quite a bit within those 10 years--
Chang Joon is not the type of person who would kill or stab someone
just for his own selfish interests!
It's Lee Yoon Bum. It's all his doing.
That bastard has never been interested in anything else but his own interests.
For him, taking someone like my Eun Soo out...
would be as simple as twisting a child's neck.
Please protect her so that she does not get herself into any trouble.
I'm begging you.
I cannot promise you that.
Prosecutor Young is not a child or a weak woman.
Mere power is not going to protect her!
But if you were to ask me to take a knife for her, I could do that.
Do you think it is possible to control a person?
No, it is not.
I'll be going now.
Do you know how desperate I am to have asked you?
[Young Il Jae]
Everyone is just blaming who they want to strike down.
Seo Dong Jae is targeting me, and Young Il Jae is targeting Lee Yoon Bum.
So why is it that the person I keep coming back to is the deputy chief?
Yes?
I'll make this quick, since I have no time.
Prosecutor Seo will come to Yongsan to investigate Park Kyung Wan.
Park Kyung Wan?
He was discharged early from the army due to their financial difficulties.
If it's just Park Kyung Wan, all you need from him is a referential statement.
So why is Prosecutor Seo going there?
Park Kyung Wan and Kim Ga Young know each other.
They were a year apart at the same high school.
At any rate, Prosecutor Seo's office will be empty soon.
Shall we go hunting?
Hunting?
Sure, let's do it.
About Kim Ga Young's phone.
If it were me, I would toss it when I need to
but I'd always keep it within arm's reach.
But he wouldn't be able to carry it around or anything.
[Office of Prosecutor Seo Dong Jae]
Aren't you overexerting your brain cells?
You've already forgotten where your own office is?
Prosecutor. Something's up, right?
I could help you. What is it?
Please protect Eun Soo. I beg of you.
Young Eun Soo.
Is he in?
No, he went out. What's the matter?
It's terrible! I can't find the file that you gave me yesterday.
Oh no, which one?
Did you forget that I'm the one standing trial and send it with Prosecutor Seo's?
No way! I handed all of it over to you yesterday.
But those documents aren't in my office.
The deadline is today, so the suspect will be released if we don't find it.
Could you go check at the court if it got mixed in with the documents from here?
There's no way. I definitely checked.
I'll leave it to you, then! I'll search my office again.
All right.
What are you looking for?
What is it, Prosecutor Hwang?
A cell phone.
What kind of phone? Tell me the number.
No, it's turned off.
Oh, you surprised me!
I was so surprised, thinking that you were Prosecutor Seo.
What are you doing here?
I lost a file that Prosecutor Seo gave me, you see.
What kind of file is it? Where did you put it?
Oh, well...
[Prosecutor Hwang Shi Mok]
Have you found it? Oh, I didn't know it was there!
All right.
They've found it, Chief Clerk.
Please don't tell Prosecutor Seo. He'll really give me an earful.
Oh. Well, yes, sure.
I'll buy you coffee for the trouble.
Oh, you don't have to.
- Let's go. - You don't have to.
It's okay, though.
What kind of coffee do you like?
Oh, I'm fine with just the vending machine coffee!
Here, have some. It'll be 100 times better than vending machine coffee.
- Because I made it. - Oh, I see.
Wow, this really is 100 times better than the vending machine coffee!
Maybe it's because you made it for me, Prosecutor Young?
Wow, it smells great.
[Missed Call: Kim Jung Bon]
[Kim Jung Bon]
[Prosecutor Young Eun Soo]
What are you looking for? What is it, Prosecutor?
A cell phone.
Last October, Park Moo Sung sent an underage girl to you.
Last October.
How does he even know the date?
And today, that underage girl was found.
The woman that you'd been desperately seeking for so long
was found at death's door.
Then, is Kim Ga Young the deputy chief's...
Oh, this?
This is the special unit targeting prostitution.
The deputy chief. Prosecutor Seo.
Kim Ga Young. A cell phone.
- Hey. - You're here?
Yeah. Wow, who would've guessed?
To think there would come a day when you'd ask to eat with me.
I was able to get to the scene earlier, thanks to you.
Wow, you rascal. You've finally become a bit nicer.
- What would you like? - The home meal set menu, please.
- Me too, please. - Yes, sir.
What about that woman? She still hasn't awoken?
Yeah.
How did you find out about this so quickly?
Well, I'm unemployed, so I was online until late at night
and saw something strange pop up.
You know how there are always trending topics?
I was wondering what it was, and was so surprised when I read it.
It happened at that house in Huam-dong, of all places.
You even knew which house it took place at.
I went there during Kang Jin Seop's trial.
The attorney didn't do anything because he knew he'd make no money off the case.
The house was exactly the way it was before.
Exactly the same? It was completely trashed.
Well yeah, it was like that inside of the house.
No, no. How could I have known what was in the house?
There was a huge commotion in the alleyway.
I went there too after calling you because I couldn't sleep.
I saw you then.
I see. That's interesting.
What is?
You and I ran into each other by chance during Kang Jin Seop's trial
and now we keep running into each other after that
even though we haven't seen each other for 20 years.
That's true.
Fate sure works in funny ways, huh?
Wow, they give out such huge portions!
A friend? I didn't know that Shi Mok had a friend.
But it's too bad. I don't know much about him.
We've never lived together, either.
Seems like your wife really chewed you out for misspeaking once.
You didn't even say "surgery." You just said "treatment."
So you must have felt quite wronged about that.
You know about his surgery?
Is that supposed to be a secret? I heard that he got brain surgery.
Well, if he said it himself, it's not much of a secret.
Wow, you must be quite close to Shi Mok, then.
Well, rather than that, we have to consider our company's image.
So I'm here today to ask you to be more careful when speaking to the media.
I mean, it's not like I said anything that was untrue.
I said that he was treated instead of saying that he got surgery.
But to us, and to Prosecutor Hwang
saying that when he only received a simple procedure--
A simple procedure?
They opened up his head and cut out a part of his brain!
If that's a simple procedure
I guess surgeries for cancer patients are just child's play. Wow.
The insula.
This part of the brain where sensory and emotional processing occurs
making one feel trust, distrust, empathy, contempt, guilt, forgiveness, and more.
It is the part of the brain that makes us human.
Furthermore, there has been a case where this part of the brain was removed
in order to treat the unbearable pain that a patient experienced.
It was shown that, if the insula is damaged
side effects such as apathy, carelessness
and a change in one's personality could occur.
Sounds like him. That's not good.
I can't really tell if it's been removed completely
or it's just been suppressed for the time being.
Either way...
There aren't many cases like this, so I'm going to consult a doctor.
All right.
Let us go.
So, it's being announced today?
Yes. It's all thanks to you, Father-in-law.
It was nothing, really.
Did something happen, sir?
There are rumors that the prosecution could suffer some losses.
Is it because the Deputy Commissioner General
may forfeit his right to investigate?
HQ told me that nothing has been decided yet, though.
Even the people at the Ministry of Justice act accordingly
to what their higher-ups want them to do.
The fact that the Public Prosecutor general
keeps clashing with the Minister of Justice
is pretty much the same as him saying that he'll forfeit his position.
What a shame, really.
Yes, it will be a shame to see the Public Prosecutor General go like that.
It's a shame to let him go like that, you say?
No, it should be a shame that you can't seize that empty spot.
If only you'd gotten to the top faster
you could've taken that vacant position.
You should worry more about yourself than him.
Forgive me for not seeing the bigger picture, sir--
Do you have that little ambition, or are you just dumb?
I am not after the Public Prosecutor General's position.
Have you made up your mind, then?
Yes, sir.
- Deputy Chief Lee. - Yes, Chairman?
Take care of the mess around you.
You have to take out the pebble in your shoe before you take the first step.
Yes, sir.
Shall we start moving forward, then?
Oh, sir!
Let us head inside.
Yes, Honey. I met with him.
Yeah, I'll come home early today.
All right, already. Okay.
Hello, sir.
Did someone come into my office?
What?
Nobody went inside, sir.
That's right.
You two left the office for a bit, didn't you?
Oh, Prosecutor Young asked me for a favor.
How could you tell him?
Why?
Young Eun Soo!
Young Eun Soo.
Prosecutor Seo!
What are you doing?
Let go.
No, you let go, Prosecutor.
This is considered violence as well.
Violence, my ass. Who are you to interfere?
Since when have you cared about other people--
You two?
The two of you, together, then?
Let go before you continue talking, sir. I'm not going anywhere.
So this is where you were, sir.
I just saw the announcement. Congratulations, Chief Prosecutor.
Congratulations, Chief Prosecutor!
What are you all doing?
It's the first time in 10 years that someone from the Violent Crimes Unit
has produced a chief prosecutor.
Congratulations, Chief Prosecutor Lee Chang Joon.
Congratulations, Chief Prosecutor Lee Chang Joon!
[Stranger]
I've found a sure suspect. It's CEO Park's son.
It could turn into a full out war. We can't do this without a powerful spear.
A spear that can pierce any shield.
That's what you want, isn't it? Well, here it is.
I thought about who could possibly punish the chief prosecutor.
Why do you think that I wouldn't know anything?
If you want to create a criminal, we can do that.
But why?
Why did they choose to close the case instead of solving it?
Why did they go so far?
