(and incidents in this drama are fictitious.)
Right here. Look at this.
You see me hesitating here for a second.
That's me holding myself back.
I totally could've knocked him out,
but I bit my tongue and held myself back.
Right?
But why?
- Why did you hold yourself back? - Because we had to let him go.
Why intentionally lose him when you almost caught him?
Even if we catch that jerk, Jo Seong Dae,
he won't tell us anything.
We let him go...
because we wanted to see...
how Oh Jong Tae, who's behind Jo Seong Dae, will react.
What matters to us is whether or not we can catch Oh Jong Tae.
That I understand,
but why did we get this CCTV footage?
This is so embarrassing for our team.
We'll distribute this so that everyone can see it.
That way, we can use it to pressure Jo Seong Dae and Oh Jong Tae.
Wait, you'll show everyone this video where a suspect...
is seen beating a cop to a pulp?
- Yes. - Hey, have you lost your mind?
Jae Hong's face is clearly seen in the footage.
It's so embarrassing. How's he going to continue working as a cop?
About that, we can just blur his face.
Hey, why would you blur my face?
My face must be shown in the footage.
I'll become famous soon. Am I wrong?
Can you play it again?
Hey, look.
I go up to him, hesitate for a moment, and then...
Look. With a merciful heart,
I was so considerate of him, it was rather cruel.
I don't get it.
He'll tell us everything if we arrest and interrogate him.
Why waste all this time?
A punk like you wouldn't understand the master's plan.
Listen, we're giving him our flesh so that we can cut his bones.
You fool.
I guess this is why it's important to read a lot of books.
Hold on.
Right here.
This spot. This is where the appendix is, right?
Darn it.
- Cut it. - Are you really going to be okay?
Just do it before the ambulance gets here.
Hey, wait. You... Don't tell me...
Don't tell me you're nervous.
Just cut it. Finish it in one go.
If you give me a squiggly scar, I won't forgive you.
Close your eyes.
Officer Kwon Jae Hong at Violent Crimes Unit 2,
Incheon Seobu Police Station.
Your strong sense of duty...
set an excellent example for all the hardworking police officers.
Everyone at our police station...
wishes you a speedy and full recovery...
so that you can return to work soon.
I simply did my job as a police officer.
Thank you, sir.
Tell us about the situation where he ended up tussling with the culprit.
Oh, sure.
Detective Kwon Jae Hong...
ran into the culprit...
after his appendix had already burst.
However, he tussled with the culprit...
because he was determined to catch him.
I've always been worried.
Because he's too fearless for his own good.
He's reckless.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
Yes, I think I've passed gas just now.
- Really? - Yes.
Doctor. Doctor!
(Sergeant Kwon Jae Hong Injured While Chasing Murder Suspect)
Detective Kwon Jae Hong...
ran into the culprit after his appendix had already burst.
However, he tussled with the culprit...
because he was determined to catch him.
Physically, I'm totally fine now.
However, the fact that I lost him right in front of my eyes...
That makes me so angry and upset.
He's a true police officer.
This is Jo Seong Dae, the prime suspect...
in the murder of Park Gun Ho, which had previously been...
concluded as suicide.
We, at Incheon Seobu Police Station,
plan to launch an open investigation...
to arrest Jo Seong Dae, who ran away after assaulting...
our officer whose appendix had burst.
Have you secured enough evidence to arrest the suspect?
We confirmed his face in the footage...
from the CCTV cameras near the scene.
Also, his blood was found at the scene.
How's the police officer who was assaulted by him?
He's recovering.
People have left many encouraging comments on the Internet,
which has tremendously helped him mentally.
Do the police know Jo Seong Dae's whereabouts?
No, not yet. But now that we're launching an open investigation,
so it'll be difficult for him to hide from the police dragnet...
and stay on the run.
I swear on the police's honor...
that our officers will track down...
and arrest Jo Seong Dae no matter what.
I'd like the citizens...
to join the police in...
Gosh, I'm hungry.
I didn't eat anything all night.
Why do my eyes get so puffy whenever I eat anything? Hey.
Is Eun Hye still asleep?
Is she still sleeping? Then we should wake her up.
Eun Hye.
I'm back.
Hey, where did you go so early in the morning?
Well, I...
She's just getting home.
- What do you mean? - She was out all night, like you.
She's getting home just now.
Seriously? You got in just now?
- What did you do all night? - I had to take care of something.
What did you have to do that you had to stay out all night?
What is the matter with you?
This is your home now. Where were you all night?
You should've called me and told me that Eun Hye wasn't coming home.
I can't believe you didn't say anything.
What if something bad happened to her?
It's a scary world out there!
She called and told me that she wasn't coming home.
Then you should've asked her why.
Why didn't you come home?
Do you still hang out with those friends?
Why? Can't I hang out with them?
I only have friends you consider "bad".
I didn't mean that.
I'm just worried.
Of course, you can meet your friends,
but since I get worried,
give me the number of your best friend.
Why would I?
What?
If I can't get in touch with you,
I'll have to call your friend.
I don't think that's right.
Eun Hye, I just...
The part-timer who works the night shift...
is sick and I filled in for her.
Are you happy now?
I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
What about breakfast? Come eat with me.
I'll have this.
Why would you have cup ramyeon when she set the table?
Leave her alone, you single noob.
What's with her? Did she fight with you?
That's normal for her.
She doesn't think...
she has to tell us every detail of her life.
Kids nowadays don't even share their friends' numbers with their dads.
She's comfortable eating cup ramyeon since that's what she's used to.
Don't you get it?
What's so weird about that?
You look like the weird one to me, nagging at her like that.
Don't try to act like her father...
and learn about women first.
Forget it.
You were never into learning anything.
Just struggle through it like you always did...
for the rest of your life.
Stay lonely.
Do you think she might be on her period?
Are you serious?
I was just wondering.
(Aggravated Social Disintegration Due To First Execution In 23 Years)
The first series was pretty good and it's getting good feedback.
(Death Penalty Has No Effect on Preventing Crimes)
Song Gwang Hui's article looks nice and clean-cut too.
The last is your exclusive, right? Why haven't you turned it in?
I'll turn it in after I get final confirmation from the police.
- For what? - It's a voice recording of a cop.
I should at least ask the Civil Petition Division to confirm it.
Do you think that will happen? I'm sure it was recorded illegally.
I'll give it a try.
If it doesn't work, I'll write the story with its contents.
(Drugs! The road to destruction)
Hello, I'm Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong of Jeonghan Daily.
You aren't allowed in here.
Is the head of the division here? I have some questions.
Let's talk outside.
We conduct audits here and it's off-limits to reporters.
It will only take a minute.
The head of the division isn't here at the moment.
Please send documents through the spokesperson's office.
Can I ask you one thing?
You audited Superintendent Moon for taking bribes, right?
You recorded the conversation with him, right?
Where did you hear that?
- Who informed you? - Excuse me?
Reveal your source first.
Then I'll look into it for you.
No, we also have to protect our sources.
Ms. Jin.
If you come all the way here to confirm anything here,
the least you can do is tell us...
who, what, when, where, why, and how you were informed,
and then ask if it's true or not.
Of course, you should do so through the spokesperson's office.
How could anyone be so cold?
She gives me chills.
(Suspicious Conversation of Cops and Prosecution Surfaces Too Late)
This is enough. Post it as "exclusive".
Yes, Sir.
I don't feel comfortable about saying the recording...
came from the Civil Petition Division since it wasn't confirmed.
Then make it vague and say you heard so.
Say you got it from someone related to the cops.
That won't cause any problems.
All right. I'll revise it before turning it in.
Were you able to lift the weight off your chest?
Do you think I wrote this for personal reasons?
You said the timing is everything when it comes to articles.
That's the biggest reason.
- Where are you? - He's going somewhere else.
He's headed for the harbor.
All right.
Stay as far away as possible and make sure he doesn't notice.
- Hello. - Sir,
Jo Seong Dae left his hiding place.
He's moving by car.
Jo Seong Dae is finally on the move.
All right, follow him and make sure he doesn't notice you.
Of course.
If you stay away for a while,
I'll take care of things here.
- I'll call you when it's over. - Okay.
You did a good job.
I...
don't ever forget those that help me.
Show him the way.
Hang in there although I'm sure it won't be easy.
I'll take some smart guys...
and head to the Philippines as soon as I can.
I'll see you on the beach.
Let's go.
- Have a nice trip! - You got it.
Kill him!
- Take this! - Get him!
Is that all you have?
Take that!
No.
Get up.
- Take that. - There.
Get him.
Put down your weapons.
If we shoot from this distance, some of you will die for sure.
Are you okay with that?
Put them down.
- Gosh. - Move it.
Aren't you grateful?
We saved your life, you punk.
Go on.
- Hello? - I'll see you at the station soon.
We'll meet soon enough.
(Seobu Police Station)
Tell me if it hurts a lot.
I can send you to the hospital.
Now that you almost died, you should live long, shouldn't you?
Don't even try to get out early.
If you get out, you'll be killed.
You'll live longer...
in prison.
- But it won't be safe in prison. - What?
Oh Jong Tae tried to kill Lee Dae Chul when he was in prison.
Then what should we do?
I don't know how to keep you alive.
There is a way.
We'll put Oh Jong Tae behind bars too.
Oh, you're right. We could do that.
That way, you can survive and take your revenge at the same time.
Two birds with one stone.
Do you know why Jong Tae tried to kill you?
He's simple.
In his world, you're just an insect...
he can squish any time.

Have you been waiting long? I apologize.
Don't worry.
These days, Jeonghan Daily is openly taking the government's side.
Is Mr. Yoo Jeong Seok planning to get into politics?
How should we bring down Yoo Jeong Seok?
"Bring down"?
Do you want to try throwing the bait I give you?
It'll bring out the person hiding in his shadow.
Prosecutor Jeong. I need your help.
(March 21, 2019, Ministry of Justice Meeting Room)
I need you to make a call to a person...
at the Civil Petition Division.
I don't have the power to do so.
Don't you remember Lee Dae Chul's case from five years ago?
I would have...
let Lee Dae Chul free if it wasn't for your order.
What are you talking about, Superintendent Moon?
Prosecutor Jeong, you are the one that said to cover up that evidence.
Why are you mentioning that...
after all this time?
Okay, I got it.
So stop talking about that.
Okay. After today,
I will forget everything that happened at the time between us.
The police carried out a secret investigation on the prosecution...
and even illegally wiretapped a prosecutor's phone?
That's not true. This was accidentally recorded...
while inspecting one of our executives.
In any case, a prosecutor's voice was recorded.
This clearly shows how much the police...
looks down on the prosecution these days.
We admit that wiretapping was not the right thing to do.
But you should admit the prosecution's corruption too.
You're not in the position to criticize us.
Do you think we can't prove the police's corruption?
Do you want us to reveal everything...
- pretending it's a mistake? - We have...
enough dirt on you as well.
Do you really want to do this?
The police have come a long way.
Listen. Times have changed.
- You can't control the police. - What?
- What did you say? - Are you done?
- Be quiet! - All right.
- How dare you... - Calm down, everyone.
We're not here to criticize each other...
but to sort things out.
The important thing is that once this recording gets out,
both the prosecution and the police...
will be condemned by the public.
What's worse, this was found...
by an outsider, the press.
This is a serious situation.
Mr. Yoo, what's your plan?
Why did you bring this here instead of writing about it?
As you guessed, I was going to write about it.
It would have made a great story.
But after I thought about its impact,
I gave up on breaking the story.
Humiliating the prosecution and the police...
doesn't serve the public good.
So...
what do you want us to do?
There are two options.
The easier option is that we break the story...
and Lee Dae Chul's case is reinvestigated.
It'd require a retrial and everything,
but that's not my concern.
The other option is...
to expedite Lee Dae Chul's execution.
Then the recording won't be of any use.
It all depends on this meeting...
and your choice, Minister.
After expediting the execution using the recording,
you now want to lay...
the foundation for the abolition of the death penalty by revealing it?
There's one more thing we can gain from revealing it.
The prosecution and the police's weakness is in it.
There are many things we didn't write about.
This will have them...
wrapped around our fingers from now on.
How about...
you leave politics to me?
I'd like you to keep making newspapers instead.
Why? Do you think I won't make it as far as you have?
I think you're getting ahead of yourself.
It's been like that for the past few years.
And it looks a bit dangerous to me.
I'm just busy. Don't worry about me.
I'll get going.
- Can you explain it? - What happened?
- We had no idea. - Why...
I'd like you to keep making newspapers instead.
It looks a bit dangerous to me.
Hello, Mr. Commissioner.
That article? You don't have to worry.
There won't be any follow-up story.
We'll wrap it up here.
No. It's my treat this time.
- Okay. - It's been revealed...
that while investigating Lee Dae Chul,
who has recently been executed, the police and the prosecution...
covered up important evidence.
In his conversation with a prosecutor,
a senior officer says...
he would have released Lee Dae Chul...
without the prosecutor's order.
(Superintendent Moon Sang Beom)
It's about Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong of Jeonghan Daily.
Keep her out of the station.
See if you can find anything on her,
if she's broken an embargo or something.
According to the police, when the Civil Petition Division...
caught the senior officer's corruption,
he tried to make a deal...
with the prosecutor regarding Lee Dae Chul's case.
Incheon Metropolitan Police Agency Civil Petition Division,
which is the presumed source of the recording,
refused to comment on the matter.
Is there really no way?
My goodness.
(No one has the right to kill another human being.)
(Felons deserve the death penalty.)
(Reporter Jin, the victim's family won't approve of this.)
(She looks good in those jeans. Was she wearing them yesterday too?)
Mr. Yoo, things had finally quieted down after the retrial.
Why are you doing this?
Reporters have to write about everything they know.
Also, you wouldn't have wanted another paper to break it.
It's best that this happens on my watch.
Still, you promised not to write about it.
It already got out anyway.
Just do as I say and make someone take the fall.
You do that all the time, don't you?
What about the prosecution? They'll make a big deal out of it.
I'll make sure they keep quiet.
They'll figure out who should be held responsible...
and deal with it internally.
Okay.
But this should never...
So you have both of us in the palm of your hand now?
Come in.
You wanted to see me?
Yes, Lieutenant Yoon.
Did you see the Jeonghan Daily article?
- Yes. - I heard...
Reporter Jin, who wrote the article, came to see you recently.
What did you two talk about?
Well, I didn't...
say anything to her.
Are you sure?
I didn't even know such a recording existed.
What would I have said to her?
All right. I understand.
What do you mean?
I swear I didn't know anything...
about the recording.
I get it.
You can go back now.
So, you lied at the retrial...
to conceal the illegal wiretapping...
in the Civil Petition Division...
because your higher-ups ordered you to do so?
I thought you did it to conceal your mistake.
I understood it...
because you became a cop to have a successful career.
But that was the reason?
You got Lee Dae Chul executed just because of that?
Just so that your department can stay out of trouble?
Aren't you ashamed of what you did?
You and I...
have chosen different paths, that's all.
But you're still a cop.
I understand you chose this profession to be successful,
but you're still a police officer.
Just like me.
At the end of the day,
you also failed to save Lee Dae Chul's life.
You ran head-on into the rock like a fool and got hurt.
You always talk about how righteous you are, but you're all talk.
You haven't even changed anything.
A cop?
Do you feel as if you're a hero who saves the world...
just because you catch thieves and murderers?
When I threatened to take disciplinary action against you,
you begged me not to make you give up your police badge,
did you not?
A sergeant at Incheon Seobu Police Station.
That's what you are, nothing more or less.
So, know your place and don't overstep your bounds.
Yoon Sang Mi.
As of this moment, do not call me your senior officer.
The fact that I have a junior officer like you...
Just get going.
You don't have anything to tell me? Still nothing?
Do you think Oh Jong Tae can get you out?
The evidence we've secured this time is too solid.
You won't get out.
You'll take the fall for everything. Are you okay with that?
That scumbag won't talk.
What will you do?
First, we'll summon Oh Jong Tae as a witness...
and cross-examine them.
Do you actually think he'll show up?
We'll send out a summons three times. If he doesn't show up,
we'll just arrest him without a warrant.
(Attendance Request, Oh Jong Tae)
Jo Seong Dae, that punk.
What on earth is he relying on?
He thinks that Oh Jong Tae is the only person he can fall back on.
Does Oh Jong Tae have that much power?
Yoo Jeong Seok and his brother, Yoo Jeong Ryeol, are behind him.
I think they're controlling him using his weakness of some sort.
I understand this has to do with some kind of corruption.
But why help the instigator of the murder get out...
just to conceal bribery during the election campaign?
That theory isn't convincing enough, don't you think?
I'm sure they share some kind of secret that we don't know about.
Oh, I see.
Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong isn't in the office at the moment.
Yes, sorry about that.
I guess there's another Reporter Jin Seo Gyeong at Jeonghan Daily.
What brings you by out of the blue?
I suppose many people are calling looking for you.
That's probably why your phone is off.
I'll just put up with it. Things will quiet down in a few days.
Some of the comments under your article sound like threats.
Are you really going to be okay?
You can't be a reporter if you're going to worry about every comment.
Wait, don't tell me...
Are you here because you were worried about me?
I never really worry about other people.
Right, so why are you here?
Your article has made our investigation much easier.
I didn't write it to make things easy for you guys.
Either way, I'm sure you couldn't just go ahead and write it.
You must've needed your boss' approval.
That's why I'm here. I came...
to thank your boss.
Hello, Mr. Yoo Jeong Seok.
Oh, who might you be?
He's a homicide detective at Incheon Seobu Police Station.
He's here to thank us for the article.
I'm Oh Ji Hyuk. Jong Tae has told me a lot about you.
He's my cousin.
Oh, is that right?
Detective Oh, why don't we talk outside?
I'm in a bit of a bind at the moment.
Jong Tae is under investigation for instigating murder.
And?
Detective Oh, what's with you? Just speak with me first.
I heard you and Jong Tae are quite close.
You see, he doesn't listen to me.
When you see him,
could you please persuade him?
If he did something wrong, he should pay for it.
Why are you saying that to my boss?
Leave! Get out.
- I'll be counting on you. - Get out.
He's always rude like this.
Go on. Move!
Gosh, come on!
My goodness. Hey.
Why barge in and put him on the spot like that?
Why not take it up with the reporter first?
If we lose Jong Tae this time, we'll never get another chance.
And Lee Dae Chul's case will be buried for good.
Detective Oh.
Do you really think that my boss has...
some secret deals with Oh Jong Tae?
Yes, I'm convinced.
Is there objective evidence?
Your boss' brother is the Minister of Justice.
He can easily get anyone out, even a murderer.
He manages the entire city desk at Jeonghan Daily.
A mere police lieutenant can't dare to mess with him.
You're doing this without any solid evidence.
Then let's do this.
I'll find evidence while you find the facts.
We'll finish our homework by the end of the week.
Gosh, why should I?
Call me as soon as you finish your homework.
Your recent article...
about the families of the victims murdered by the death-row convict.
Someone put you up to it, right?
I'd like you to interview the victims' families.
What that person wanted was...
Lee Dae Chul.
Oh Jong Tae isn't the real culprit.
It's probably someone who has a lot more power.
He'll have to protect Jong Tae,
since he's the Achilles' heel of the next Minister of Justice.
So it turns out that...
Oh Jong Tae had a connection with Yoo Jeong Ryeol and Yoo Jeong Seok.
Win?
If Lee Dae Chul is acquitted, does that mean you win?
There's something I've been investigating.
Someone at the Central District Prosecutors' Office...
was involved in a drug case,
but it's hard to obtain evidence.
They won't give us anything if it's just us.
Form a team with TV stations and other media platforms.
On the condition that we're the only newspaper.
Got it.
As for the police, let's leave them alone for a bit.
We've been hounding them too much.
Got it.
We've covered everything, right?
Sir, we've received a request from the advertising department.
Why did they contact you? They could've contacted me directly.
What's the request?
It's regarding a big advertising deal.
The company is Incheon Jeil Trust.
The CEO, Oh Jong Tae, would like to meet with you.
- Why does he want to see me? - Sir.
May I go with you?
Why do you want to meet Oh Jong Tae?
I've contacted him a few times about Seobu Police Station's case,
but he ignored my calls.
If you're uncomfortable, I'll meet him on your behalf.
Please just set up an appointment for me.
Oh, that's fine.
I actually prefer this as there won't be any misunderstandings.
Right.
I'll text you the time and place.
Okay.
Do you want to try throwing the bait I give you?
What kind of bait?
Yoo Jeong Seok was at the scene five years ago.
The day when Detective Jang Jin Soo was killed.
He was there.
Why?
Why was he there?
He was in the area to meet someone.
But...
it was very close to the murder scene.
He was there at the time of the murder.
Are you saying he killed Detective Jang Jin Soo?
If he did,
he'll bite the bait, right?
Now, I can have a real conversation with this guy.
Thank you.
We'll be off, then.
(Treatment Room 1)
I don't have to come to the hospital anymore.
I'm fine now.
The doctor said...
you have to continue taking your medication...
and take good care of yourself.
You heard him say being stable is the most important, right?
Don't stress out, drink, or smoke.
Hey,
don't you think you should just quit your part-time job?
If you get any rude customers...
and get upset, it'll be bad for you.
I'll take care of myself.
Don't worry.
It's because of your condition.
Imagine someone as pretty as you collapsed on the street.
Do you know how evil men are nowadays?
Mr. Kang.
Yes?
I've been living alone for too long.
I'm not used to other people's nagging.
All right, I get it.
Should we at least eat together?
What do you like? I'll buy you something delicious.
- I like eating alone. - Alone?
Fine. I got paid quite a lot for working outside the office...
and would like to buy you some clothes.
Why?
Why would you buy me clothes?
Well, if you don't need clothes,
tell me whatever you need.
I'm going to move out when I save up enough from my job.
Until then,
you can just let me sleep at your house.
Eun Hye, is it uncomfortable...
for you to live with us?
You keep reminding me of Dad.
Is that hard for you?
I'm sorry, I have to go to work. I have the night shift again.
Wait, Eun Hye.
I thought you'd be a man when he mentioned you.
Should we go somewhere else if you feel uncomfortable?
No, it's fine.
Being a reporter, you're very cool about things.
I come here every now and then to get a drink by myself.
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not bribing you.
If you don't like to drink,
should I order some coffee or other beverage for you?
No, I'll take a glass.
It's nice to meet you.
You said you'd help our newspaper out.
Yes, I plan to start a new business.
I'd like to promote my business...
and repay you.
That's why I wanted to meet you.
Repay me?
I've never done anything for you to repay me for.
Right, I used the wrong expression.
I should say it's an apology for my mistake.
Mr. Oh, I have a few questions.
Could I ask you right now?
What is it?
A detective visited us at our office today.
He introduced himself as your cousin.
Do you know who he is?
- Yes. - He says...
you are a suspect for aiding and abetting murder.
I believe Ms. Jin is curious about that.
Did he say that?
You know Jo Seong Dae, right?
He's a strong suspect for Park Gun Ho's murder.
You also know Park Gun Ho was murdered...
while claiming that Lee Dae Chul is innocent.
During Lee Dae Chul's retrial,
the lawyer pointed you out as the murderer.
The watch found at the murder scene...
checked out to be yours,
and the detective that was in charge of the case...
said he covered up your crimes.
I see.
You must be the one that wrote that article.
If you are proved to be behind Park Gun Ho's murder,
it'll also be proved that you murdered...
Yoon Ji Sun and Detective Jang Jin Soo.
What do you have to say about all these charges?
So you're saying...
the person that killed...
Yoon Ji Sun, Jang Jin Soo and Park Gun Ho...
is me?
If I killed any of the three,
it would make the most sense...
for me to have killed Detective Jang Jin Soo.
Why? Since he kept accusing innocent me for murder...
and I got mad.
Are you admitting that you killed Detective Jang?
Tell the detectives to dig into it.
Who knows? Maybe they will find evidence.
That's enough.
- But I'm not... - I said that's enough.
Thank you for asking us to promote your business.
- Mr. Yoo. - Let's go.
You know anything we say today means nothing.
We will get going.
As you please.
Wait, Mr. Yoo.
You used to have a sister, right?
I believe something bad happened to her by the cops...
and she committed suicide.
Am I right?
You must hate cops.
Ms. Jin,
don't trust everything the cops say.
Many of them are dirty.
Oh Jong Tae was about to say something. Why did you stop him?
I met him out of courtesy because he offered to help.
That's enough. There's nothing more to hear.
Then there was no reason for me to come here.
Oh Jong Tae won't be played by you.
End it here.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Jeong Seon!
(May 11, 1987, 8pm, Yoo Jeong Seon's room)
Jeong Seon.
Jeong Seon, Jeong Seon!
Jeong Seon.
Jeong Seon...
Don't leave me.
Jeong Seon...
Wait.
Did Oh Jong Tae really kill Detective Jang?
Then why would he say so in front of Mr. Yoo?
I don't know.
(Why didn't you wear jeans? You look way hotter in jeans.)
Gosh.
This jerk.
(Detective Oh Ji hyuk)
Hello. What makes you call at this hour?
Can you come out for a minute?
I have something for you.
Where are you?
What do you have for me?
I asked a colleague on the cyber team for help.
Jeans.
(IP address, Name, Date of birth, Social Security Number, Address)
You came all the way here to give me this?
I was also passing by.
He's well-known among us.
He leaves malicious comments on female reporters' articles.
It's always the same pattern.
I already have this much information.
I see.
I thought it might be someone related to our case.
I guess not.
I came here for nothing.
I should leave now.
It's cold.
Would you like to come up for some ramyeon?
Sounds good.
Can I have a can of beer too?
You said you might die.
I'm fine now.
Seriously.
If you pass out again,
I'm not taking you to the hospital,
but throwing you out in the street.
Got it?
Yes.
Detective Oh.
- You've had many crushes, right? - Sorry?
But you just hover around your crush for a while...
and eventually give up every time, right?
No.
This is the first time.
Thank you for the ramyeon. I'll get going now.
This can happen to those with insomnia.
Why do you never let others know what you're going through?
You fool.
Welcome.
Hi. I just got off work.
I thought we could go home together.
I have to stay here a bit longer. I'll see you at home.
I'll eat something here and wait for you.
I'll have some cup noodles. Where are cup noodles?
There they are. Cup noodles.
Gosh, there are so many different kinds.
Meat... I'll have this.
- It has meat. - Okay.
Cup noodles taste best around this time of day.
Where's hot water?
You have to pay first.
Oh, that's right.
Gosh, what was I thinking?
- Here. - Thank you.
Here you go.
You can sit over there.
I'll add hot water and bring it to you.
Okay. Thanks.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
- Enjoy. - I will.
Welcome.
Thank you. Bye.
Gosh. Let's go have lunch.
- It's lunchtime. Let's go, Mr. Ko. - Let's go.
Darn, we're late.
It's the government PR team's treat. Let's go.
- I'm meeting someone. Go ahead. - All right.
It looks tasty.
Did you wake up?
Yes. Why didn't you wake me up?
I felt sorry for you, so I couldn't.
You felt sorry for me? I slept so well.
If you sobered up, get out of there right now.
Don't you dare rummage through my stuff.
It's so messy here. I thought I should clean up a bit.
Get out of there before I come over and kick you out.
Fine.
Where are you? I'll buy you lunch.
I'm having lunch with my colleagues.
Hurry up and go to work.
Why did you buy this for me? I wasn't drunk. I just fell asleep.
I didn't buy it for you. It's just...
I took it out to drink it myself,
but then I forgot about it.
Call me whenever you need someone to eat with.
I should pay you back.
I don't think so.
There's a long line of people waiting to eat with me.
Sure, of course.
Call me.
Goodness.
I'm hungry.
- You're going grocery shopping? - Yes.
- Where? - The market.
Why would you go all the way there?
Just go to the convenience store around the corner.
Things are expensive there.
Twice as expensive.
That place is only for kids.
Who goes grocery shopping there?
Still, wouldn't it be nice...
To go shopping at where Eun Hye works?
Things aren't that expensive there, actually.
They have a good selection too.
Their alcohol selection is especially good. You love alcohol.
In addition to giving her food and shelter,
we're supposed to increase the sales at her workplace too?
Why? For what?
Why should we do so much for her?
I mean...
Stop worrying about a stranger's daughter...
and worry about your own nephew.
If I can't see him,
shouldn't you go see him now and then as his uncle?
Do you even know why I'm going grocery shopping?
I was going to make Jae Woong's favorite food...
and send it to him.
You used to adore him.
Did you stop caring about him completely?
Do you think he's a stranger now that I'm divorced?
Come on. I think about him often.
It's just that I've been busy.
He's my child no matter what.
I gave birth to him.
For lunch, we had...
pickled squid...
Hey, come here!
Jae Woong!
What happened to your face?
Are you sure your dad didn't hit you?
Do you swear?
I had a fight at school today.
Really?
- What happened? - It's just...
they keep picking a fight with me.
I didn't do anything.
I can't believe those brats.
- Did you hit them too? - No.
They're a lot stronger than me.
Hey, Kim Jae Woong. You don't know yourself.
Aren't you your mom's son?
Aren't you Kang Eun Hee's son?
Back in school, she fought with 17 people alone...
and beat them to a pulp,
without even getting a scratch on her face.
- Really? - Yes.
She's a judo gold medalist, remember?
She was unrivaled in the whole country.
When anyone messed with her,
she flung them to the ground right away.
So be confident and stand up to them.
Beat up anyone who bullies you.
You can easily do that. Why?
Because you're Kang Eun Hee's son.
You can't see your mom these days,
but don't be disappointed.
You have...
your judo gold medalist mom's blood running in your veins.
Your mom is...
in your heart...
all the time, okay?
Okay.
Finish that...
and tell me if you want anything else.
I'll buy you anything.
Eat this too.
Eat up. Drink my coke too.
Hey.
Are you sure he received a subpoena three times?
Did he receive them himself?
- Don't worry. - Okay.
When you arrest him, state the reasons clearly.
I get it.
I'm talking to Oh Ji Hyuk.
You never follow protocol anyway.
All you do is use violence.
Hey, strictly abide by the protocols.
So that Oh Jong Tae's attorney can't find faults with anything you do.
- Got it, sir. - All right.
- Let's go. - Protocols, my foot.
I'll break his back if I have to.
What?
What did he say?
Hey, you'd better not do that!
You actually look like a detective now that I'm seeing you here.
And you look like a culprit.
That scumbag.
He doesn't seem nervous at all.
Let's give him some time.
To familiarize himself with how things are done here.
Have some tea while you wait.
We managed to apprehend an important suspect unexpectedly,
so they're working on that case at the moment.
- That's a ground ball. - He should curl the ball.
- It may obstruct his view. - Right.
- A free kick for Team Korea. - Let's do this.
- Curl the ball! - Let's go!
- Goal! - Goal!
- Nice! - Applause!
- We scored a goal! - Hey.
- Watch it if you're bored. - Team Korea has scored a goal.
- The score is 1 to 0! - Give us a moment.
Hey, just watching the game isn't thrilling enough.
The one who correctly guesses the final score will get 10 dollars.
- Good idea! - The score is 1 to 0!
- They may score... - Hey. You're in, right?
- another goal. - Write it down.
My gosh, I'm sorry.
We kept you waiting for so long.
This is our slow season,
but we had such a busy day for some odd reason.
Sit down.
I know how busy you are. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting.
All right, let's get this done.
Yes, no problem.
Well, I'm sure you know why you're here.
We've managed to arrest Jo Seong Dae,
but he won't confess.
You know Jo Seong Dae, right?
No, I don't.
I don't know who that is.
But he said he knows you. How come you don't know him?
He told us that the two of you know each other very well.
He said you two have had many business deals...
and have gone out for drinks together many times.
With me?
Do you actually think I'd hang out with someone like him?
With that lowlife?
Well...
Why don't I have the two of you talk it out?
Then I'll be able to tell who's telling the truth.
It'll only take a minute.
Hey, bring Jo Seong Dae in.
What are you doing?
Are you doing a cross-examination without my consent?
Come on. Just meet him and let me know if you don't know him.
You had to wait for hours, so let's get this done quickly.
Hey, Seong Dae.
Have a seat here.
So you know me?
Jo Seong Dae, you nearly died inside the freight container,
but we saved you. You remember that, right?
Who do you think wanted you dead?
What on earth are you talking about?
I came here...
to give you my statement as a witness.
Our detective is asking you a question!
Who wanted you dead?
We saw it happen right before our eyes.
And you'll deny it? Seriously?
Why are you staring at him? You punk.
Are you implying that Mr. Oh tried to have you killed?
I'm not sure.
What would a lowlife like me even know?
I bet it's the person who ordered the murder of Park Gun Ho.
That person was afraid that you'd get arrested and talk about him.
That's why he wanted you dead. Am I wrong?
You punk, why do you keep trying to divert attention?
We're asking you!
Enough.
You folks really exhaust me.
Fine, I'll ask him myself.
Mister, did I try to kill you?
Also,
am I the person who ordered you...
to kill Park Gun Ho?
Answer my question! Yes or no?
Why must I put up with this ridiculousness?
Why?
Just answer my question, please.
Yes, it was you.
That's what he's claiming, without any proof.
- I told you that I don't know him. - Yes, that's correct.
Going forward, you'll have to speak with my attorney.
Yes, I understand.
Lastly,
I'd like to say something to Detective Oh Ji Hyuk.
I've always known that you have a bad memory,
but you'd better remember...
what you told me a while back.
(Seobu Police Station)
(Incheon Seobu Police Station)
Don't forget what you said.
You'd better remember.
(Citizens' Police for Our Just Nation)
Finally, Oh Jong Tae's in our hands.
We still have a long way to go. This is just the beginning.
Goodness, he's no fun.
Was her name Jin Seo Gyeong? That reporter is quite gutsy.
Did you have a word with her?
Well, not really.
I was quite flustered that day.
I was blindsided.
Are you going to keep getting on my bad side?
Will you be okay with me becoming your enemy?
Now that your brother is the Minister of Justice,
you can get his constituency. The timing seems perfect.
Don't you think I'll be helpful to you?
Who knew...
we'd be drinking together like this?
Yes.
The attorney asked for additional photos of the scene.
Yes, I'll put in a request for a warrant as soon as I'm back.
Okay.
(The Good Detective)
You can't die now.
You need to pay for your sins before you die.
Get out of my sight!
You were right. Someone else is behind this.
There can't be any other explanation.
Oh Jong Tae is a murderer.
Why are you protecting someone like him?
Why do you keep making these useless people come here...
and say ridiculous things?
Come on.
Your glass is too small for me to pour you a drink.
I'll pay closer attention when taking care of things.
You had an agreement with Lee Dae Chul, right?
What was it?
Who is giving these orders?
What happened here, Mr. Yoo?
I want to find the person that killed Jang Jin Soo.
