EPISODE 2
Are you filming a movie?
Why are you trying to look cool
while drinking soju?
What about you?
Why are you walking in the rain?
Don't you have an umbrella?
You know that's not it.
-It's not expensive.
-It flipped outwards.
How have you been?
Drop the formalities.
We don't ask each other
how the other is doing.
Let's get down to business.
Why do you want Yeong-guk Jo?
What has gotten into you?
The times have changed. I should as well.
I guess getting a new President
really is a big deal.
It changed even someone like you.
But speaking from experience,
times may change, but people don't.
They only pretend to.
I have nothing to say to that.
You gave in so quickly.
What do you need me to do?
What is this?
What the
They are Yeong-guk Jo's clean-up crew.
What happened?
-Did you kill them?
-Why would I
Yeong-guk Jo killed them.
He hired someone to do it.
Why did he kill people
who would die for him?
A few days after I told him
I was going after him,
they all died.
He cut off his tail.
He thought they would talk
if they were alive.
Your job is to find out
why he killed them,
and what he was trying to hide.
That's your job. Can you do it?
I usually don't do what I can.
I do what I must.
I'll staff my crew.
Then I'll do it.
Who are you thinking of?
Jin-hwan from Violent Crimes,
Seong-hun from Criminal Investigations.
No. They fight with their brains.
They are pencil pushers,
not field material.
Then who?
Just say the word.
I'll create a special team and
They don't have to be
from the company, do they?
As long as they're good.
How about Mr. Heo?
Hey.
Are you here to eat?
What would you like?
I'm Dochi from the Beolgyo.
You know my brother, right?
You shattered his wrist recently.
I came for his medical bills.
If you have no money, close the shop.
Back then,
your brother broke things
in my restaurant,
so we agreed to call it even.
I can't agree.
Close the shop, you bastard.
Or pay up.
Mr. Heo? You mean Il-hu Heo, right?
What is he up to now?
Half the shops shut down
in Geobuk Market in Inseo
where they plan to redevelop.
He has a restaurant there.
Geobuk Market was still there?
The gangsters must be pressuring them.
How are those people still standing?
Weren't you listening?
Mr. Heo is there.
I'm sorry,
but I can't do that.
You're here anyway,
so why don't you eat?
What did this punk just say?
I said to close the shop
if you don't want to get beat up!
Our kimchi stew
-is pretty good.
-Why you
I know what you're thinking,
but it may be a problem later.
If they were cops,
I could cover for them but
Myeong-deuk.
You know why I need Mr. Heo.
Is it about what happened three years ago?
Don't tell me
you're thinking about
Seong-cheol Jang, too.
You said you could cover for cops.
He's a cop.
-I really don't know.
-Okay.
Let's do this.
You and I can fight right here, right now.
One punch each. One to one. Okay?
Why are you joking like that?
I'm not joking.
Why would I waste my time joking with you?
Let's do it. Let's fight.
If I win, you tell me everything
that you know.
If you win,
I'll let you walk right out of here.
And this is evidence of you
from the surveillance cameras
at the scene of the crime.
Take this, too.
You can burn it, wipe your ass with it,
eat it, whatever.
Do as you wish.
If you win.
What do you say?
Come on. Let's do it.
How can I trust you?
You have no faith in people.
Hey, Pil-sun!
Lock the door and turn off the cameras.
-What?
-Turn off the cameras and lock the door.
Let's be men. Let's do this.
Don't drag it out.
Let's do it. It's fun.
Don't go back on your word.
I've met all sorts of people
in my 50 years on earth,
and he's for real.
He's a real psycho.
He has no goal in life.
He lives because he's alive.
Darn it.
I'm not bleeding because you hit me.
I'm just tired.
What the fuck are you saying?
Get up!
You bastard.
You bastard.
You want to die?
Hey.
-Did you get it?
-I got it!
You got it?
What?
You don't like it?
Should I not bother?
No.
Keep going.
Ju-myeong is our crew,
so naturally he's in.
I need someone to do the paperwork
in my place.
I personally want someone like this.
Like who?
Someone who knows shame.
Why won't you let me investigate?
A detective died.
In broad daylight,
in the middle of the street,
-a detective
-Look.
It involves the East Gang.
You know who the East Gang
belongs to, right?
Jin-pyeong, take on
only what you can handle.
Don't try to handle it
after things blow up.
I know.
-I know it's hard for you, but
-No, sir.
It can't be hard on me.
I have no such right.
Prosecutors who bribe
and make it on the news
are like that because
they don't know shame.
They are prosecutors.
They should stick to it
even if they're poor.
But they drop cases
for a few hundred million won
and sell their souls.
How humiliating.
Anyway,
I'll find someone to do the paperwork.
Someone with a story.
Fine.
Do whatever you want.
Do as you please,
but keep this in mind,
they are all daggers.
Daggers don't have eyes.
They may stab you.
You know that from experience
three years ago.
Myeong-deuk.
Who do you think was responsible
for what happened three years ago?
I don't suspect
those holding daggers anymore
ever since that day.
I suspect those holding pens.
So, watch what you say.
We're the ones running around,
smelling sweat and blood.
You forgot all of that
because you smelled so much chalk.
Even if you feel like crap,
be understanding.
I'm living a crappy life
because my temper is crappy.
My peers are deputy chief prosecutors,
but I'm a chief prosecutor's gopher.
Don't drink too much.
I'll call once I'm set.
Hey.
Was he the one who killed them, too?
Freeze!
Shit.
Hey!
Shit.
Get in!
Oh, shit!
Look! Stop!
Come at me, bastard.
Come at me, bastard.
That bastard.
Shit!
Who hired you?
What?
My little sister.
Who told you to kill her?
I don't know, you retard.
Hey.
I looked up Gang-ju Han,
and the listed address is his sister's.
I don't think they actually live together.
I think after their mom died,
this and that happened,
and he used his sister's address.
There's something strange
about So-yeong Han.
Sorry, that's Gang-ju Han's little sister.
She was
Hello?
Hello?
Shit. The train is passing by again.
Hello?
Hey!
Should I text you?
How much is the rent here?
It's 1.5 million won a month.
Ju-myeong,
I really didn't want to say this,
but I said to find a quiet place.
It is quiet when the subway
doesn't pass by.
I'm saying this because it does.
It passes by every 20 minutes.
It was quiet when I came to check it out.
I'm sorry.
But, sir, I signed a six-month lease,
so we can't move yet
You drink it.
Gang-ju Han's sister So-yeong Han.
Start from there.
Yes, the strange thing
about So-yeong Han is,
she was stabbed
out of the blue
in her apartment elevator.
Excuse me.
This was when Jeong-guk Shim,
Seok-su Kim, and those guys died.
That's why
I wanted to see if anything was missed,
and checked the elevator
security video, and
I think So-yeong Han
was killed by
Jae-pil Joo.
No, it was him.
That bastard.
Why did that bastard go after her?
Do you think she had something
to do with Yeong-guk Jo?
Where is she now?
We'll have to keep monitoring
her condition.
Do you think that guy,
Gang-ju Han, killed Jae-pil Joo?
I doubt it.
He wouldn't have gone through
the trouble then.
I'm sure he's looking for the one
who gave the order.
The one who ordered Jae-pil Joo
to kill his sister.
Excuse me.
Do you know what her job is?
-Hello.
-Why didn't you tell me the reason
you went to Seowon?
She's Mayor Sang-do Bae's assistant.
She went to a good school, too.
I heard you left
because you didn't want to investigate
my husband's case.
I heard you weren't transferred out,
but that you requested it.
Why
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did Jae-pil do this
to the mayor's assistant?
I don't know. I have no idea.
All I know is, what happened to her
is related to the others who died.
Maybe we just didn't realize
because it seemed so random.
Does that mean the mayor
and Yeong-guk Jo are associated somehow?
What happened was
If that was how you felt
If you didn't want to deal with
my husband's case anymore,
you should have told me.
Then I
Then I
I wouldn't have waited.
I won't call
and bug you anymore.
-Take care of yourself.
-Wait.
I'll call you after I catch him.
Once I catch him, yes
I will
I promise I'll call.
The mayor may be involved
or it may have been just her.
Nothing is for sure.
How would I know that now?
Did you meet with the detective in charge?
His mother-in-law died, so
Mr. Heo. Are you interrogating me?
I'm getting offended.
I'm just telling you
what I just found out.
Shoot. I pulled my hamstring.
My leg is killing
Where are you going?
Excuse
The Inseo redevelopment business
is an opportunity for Seowon to become
not only a big city in Korea,
but an international city.
By developing the Hwanggucheon stream
which flows around Geobuk Market,
we'll make it the Venezia of Korea
No. Venice.
Venice? Hold on. What is it?
Venice and Venezia
are the same thing, Mr. Mayor.
They are the same city.
I forgot momentarily.
Let's take a break.
Mayor Sang-do Bae, correct?
It is. It's our mayor.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm a big fan of yours.
You must be a Seowon citizen.
I'm sorry,
but I'm in the middle of an interview.
Isn't our mayor just incredible?
He loves the people of this city.
Even with the Inseo redevelopment.
What's the point
in leaving it the way it is?
It's only filled with people
sitting on their behinds,
doing nothing but begging for money.
Beggars that drain the city's budget.
You're trying to kick them out.
That's why you're redeveloping
the area, right?
Calling them beggars is a bit
You know something?
During the last election,
72 percent of Inseo voted for you.
That means 72 out of 100
people voted for you.
You are so noble.
You won't cater to those who vote for you.
-Right?
-Why don't you come another time
Hold on. Let me ask him one question.
Mr. Mayor. Our dear mayor.
Mayor Bae, who loves the people
of the city so much,
there's something I really want to know.
Why did that happen to your assistant?
Why can't you respond?
She's in the hospital after being stabbed.
Why did that happen?
I don't know.
Something must have happened.
Right? Something must have happened.
But you see, I'm curious as to
what that something was.
Excuse me, but may I ask
what you do for a living?
Me? I don't do anything all that great.
It's quite humiliating to say.
I'm a prosecutor.
Seowon Prosecutors' Office.
Je-mun Woo. On sabbatical.
A prosecutor of Seowon
Prosecutors' Office, Je-mun Woo.
I'll remember that.
Someone like you will remember me?
I'm so honored.
Next time we meet,
let's take some pictures
in front of our company,
and answer some questions
from the reporters.
I hope that's how it will be.
Sang-do Bae is hiding something.
I'm sure he's linked to Yeong-guk Jo.
Put out an APB for Gang-ju Han's car.
We'll get Gang-ju Han, catch Jae-pil Joo,
and go after Yeong-guk Jo and Sang-do Bae.
Stolen car.
43LO3876. Black car.
Stolen car. 43LO3876. Black car.
Was it that bastard?
It was, wasn't it?
That's right.
Sang-mo Ha ordered me to do it.
He got the order from Yeong-guk Jo
to kill your sister.
Go after it.
This is patrol car one. Patrol car one.
We're at the Inseo intersection.
43LO3876.
Hold on. What did you say?
You found it? Where?
They found it?
Okay.
Patrol officers are tailing it.
Start the car.
Tell them to tail them quietly.
Black car, 43LO3876.
Please pull over.
Hey, 3876. Stop the car.
Black car, 43LO3876.
Pull over.
Hey.
You caught him?
Caught what? I said to just tail him!
POLICE
Was that too much to ask for?
Just do what you're told, bastards.
Hello? This is Prosecutor Je-mun Woo.
Did you catch him or are you catching him?
Let me see your license.
You're arresting him?
I said to just follow him!
He isn't someone you can catch.
You'll get hurt.
Connect me to the center.
Okay. 43LO3876.
That's 43LO3876. Black car. Track it.
It just passed the Inseo intersection.
There's a dent in the bumper.
Don't lose its location, got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, 43LO3876 is passing the Tower 41.
What's past Tower 41?
Innam furniture district.
This is Kim.
That car 3876.
Yes. Okay.
Pil-sun, Innam furniture district.
Innam furniture district.
Okay.
Sir, 3876 just passed Innam CGV Theater.
-Innam CGV.
-Got it.
Sir, 3876 went into Innam Booth.
-Innam Booth? The red light district?
-What?
Where is this bastard going?
Why there?
That's enough.
Hi there, Gang-ju.
-Shit.
-Bastard.
Shit.
I washed this today.
Jeez. I told you to stay low.
Why do you never listen?
Look at what you did to the club.
All the customers left.
It's a Friday night. Shit.
-My sister So-yeong.
-What?
Why did you do that to my sister So-yeong?
What is this punk saying?
Why is he mumbling? What?
My sister So-yeong!
Shit.
Retard. That's ancient history.
Geez. This freak.
Look at his eyes.
I can't stand him.
Hey. Beat him up. Don't kill him though.
I'll kill you.
Moron. Why did he have
to come on a Friday?
We lost all the customers.
Shit.
Make sure he won't come again.
-Shit.
-Get over here!
What is that?
Hey, bastards. You want to take a trip
down memory lane?
You fucking bastard!
Get him!
Get him!
-Stay here.
-Yes, sir.
I said we were in the middle
of an investigation.
There
You bastard!
Stay right where you are.
Where is Jae-pil Joo?
Hey, Gang-ju.
Why did you come here
if you were going to get pounded?
You should have let us catch you instead.
Where did you hide Jae-pil Joo?
You didn't kill him, did you?
Did you think you could resolve it
if you went on a rampage?
That's stupidity.
Look at yourself. You're a mess.
You would be dead by now
if we didn't show up.
Hey, don't be like that.
Hand him over to us.
You saw it. Fists won't work.
Now, we must use the law.
I'm a prosecutor, you know.
Sir, please help me.
The Prosecutors' Office can't do this.
Please, help me.
You're a deputy chief prosecutor.
Who was the prosecutor that went
to see you?
Je-mun Woo.
Je-mun Woo of Seowon Prosecutors' Office.
Je-mun Woo.
If I tell you,
will you reduce my sentence?
I'll decide later. Just talk, you bastard.
Jeong-guk Shim, Chang-hui Kang,
Seok-su Kim, and So-yeong Han.
Why did Yeong-guk Jo have you kill them?
Sir, no one in this world
dies without a reason.
Even when you kill a mosquito,
there's a reason.
Because it's annoying
or in case it gets annoying.
Hey.
Hey. Stay away.
He sprayed mosquito repellant
in case they get annoying.
Sit down.
Hey, Jae-pil. You cocky bastard.
How dare you use a metaphor?
This is all amusing to you, isn't it?
This is bad.
I want to stop talking.
You bastard.
Hey.
You and Yeong-guk Jo are the same.
How dare you give us that bullshit,
you cocky bastard.
Hey. He can get hurt, right?
Yes, it doesn't matter
as long as he's alive.
You poor thing.
That guy is legit,
but even he isn't on your side.
What now?
Drop the bullshit!
Eat a little more, bastard.
You freak!
Mr. Noh.
Will there be a problem
with the paperwork?
You can make it fit okay?
Yes.
I'll write it up somehow.
Do as you wish.
Hey, he's the prosecutor on your case.
It's up to him to decide
whether you spend tens of years in jail
or the rest of your life, so spill it.
Stop being cocky like before.
-Okay.
-Let's start.
Why did Yeong-guk Jo kill Chang-hui Kang,
Seok-su Kim, and the others?
Because of the mayor.
The chairman has a resort in Cheongpyeong.
That's where he met with people
he had to meet discreetly.
Anyway, that's what he did,
but the mayor couldn't take his official
car to meet the chairman, could he?
But he couldn't tell him to drive himself
all the way there.
That's why he sent someone
to drive him there.
We'll be there in about half an hour.
Seok-su Kim?
Okay.
Hey.
What did Yeong-guk Jo offer the mayor?
What could he get from him?
The chairman took the mayor for a fool.
You know the mayor is stupid.
Hyeonseung's lawyer Chang-hui Kang
would review the documents,
and the CFO, Jeong-guk Shim
would fudge the numbers.
The chairman and Mayor Bae
siphoned a lot of money like that,
and they planned to continue.
But your
Your chief prosecutor
suddenly came at him.
Come in for questioning
and take your punishment
before things get bigger.
Rather than let it get out
and become a problem,
he decided to bury it.
That's why he killed those people.
In case they would become a nuisance.
Hey.
What about So-yeong Han?
What could an assistant know?
She heard.
I looked into it
and we can do it as discussed.
There won't be any problems.
No need to thank me. Thank you.
Gosh. Thanks to you, Chairman Jo,
life is so enjoyable for me.
Yes. Push forward with it.
Okay, thank you.
I wanted to tell you
your schedule for the day.
I knocked, but you didn't respond.
My apologies.
What exactly did the mayor
and Yeong-guk Jo take?
What did they work on together?
Was it worth killing people over?
Was it something worth killing people
to keep it a secret?
He would have killed much more
if he could hide it.
So what is that, you bastard?
Look.
If I tell you this
If I tell you everything I know,
will you be able to handle it?
Try me.
Then I'll tell you
what the chairman and mayor
are trying to hide.
Once we hand him over
to the prosecutors, it's over.
Good job.
Not like you did anything, but still.
Wait a second.
Hey. Why did you kill Chang-jun?
Detective Chang-jun Park.
Why did you kill him?
Who was that?
You can't even remember
someone you killed?
There are too many that I have killed.
How could I remember all of them?
Ask the chairman.
I only kill the people
the chairman orders me to kill.
Rot in jail for the rest of your life.
You'll remember after a while.
-Take him away.
-Okay.
Hurry it up!
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Get in.
-Hey.
-Make sure you don't have a tail.
Route one is backed up,
so go through the city.
Okay. Sure.
Long time no see.
How have you been?
Why are you staring?
It's not like I can't be here.
It's me.
Well
You know that jerk who killed Chang-jun?
We caught him.
We're going to take him
to the company now.
I thought I would have something
to say once we caught him.
I feel like I haven't been able
to say this all this time.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'll call you after it has been
taken care of.
What the
What the hell?
Stop the car! Ask for backup. Hurry!
-Shit. Damn it.
-What the hell?
Hey!
-Those rats.
-Hey!
Who are those bastards?
This is insane.
-Il-gang.
-The chairman found out. So did the boss.
You should go first.
The chairman took over
Seowon City long ago.
How do you think Hyeonseung grew?
He gave the stupid mayor
a little spending money
and planted our people in City Hall,
and created fake companies and ate up
all the businesses the city did.
Hyeonseung Planning is the best
for city image advertisements.
Did you have a subsidiary
named Hyeonseung Planning?
I'm going to make one now.
He would spend half the budget
and pocket the rest.
Stop! No!
Advertisements, sports,
construction, landscaping, welfare.
Even a playground in a senior center.
The chairman was involved in them all.
They needed the chairman's approval
for the city budget.
You're saying
the taxes that we paid
with our hard-earned money
went into Yeong-guk Jo's pocket,
and he used that to build Hyeonseung?
You call this a nation? Really?
-Shit!
-Damn it!
The Inseo redevelopment is the real deal.
If he succeeds with this,
the chairman will become national.
The country will be
in the palm of his hand.
-Shit!
-Calm down!
Detective Jang.
Please, calm down.
Is there no other way then?
What about that girl So-yeong Han?
She's still unconscious.
We don't know when she'll wake up.
Let's get the warrant and make it bigger.
I will brief you on the investigation
surrounding Hyeonseung Group's
chairman Yeong-guk Jo,
and the mayor of Seowon City, Sang-do Bae,
regarding the corruption surrounding
the bid for the redevelopment of Inseo.
The Prosecutors' Office asserts that
the mayor of Seowon, Sang-do Bae,
took a 50 billion won bribe
from Yeong-guk Jo,
Hyeonseung Group's chairman,
in exchange for winning the bid
for the Inseo redevelopment.
The Inseo redevelopment
consists of building
100,000 apartment households
and houses until the year 2025
It's me, Mr. Chairman. What must I do
Why don't you give a statement?
Don't cry again. Okay.
My beloved citizens of Seowon,
I'm sure you all know
what kind of a person I am.
Me? Take a bribe?
Heaven and earth know that I am pure,
and so do you.
As Seowon's mayor,
I've worked only for the people of Seowon,
thought only of the people of Seowon,
and looked only at the people of Seowon.
I work for Seowon, stand by Seowon,
and am a mayor of Seowon.
The Request to Recall Mayor Bae
has been submitted
with the Election Committee.
The public wants to know about
the hearings with the local residents.
Please explain what it is.
What is the Request to Recall?
Remember how the President
was impeached early this year?
It's similar to that.
If at least two-thirds of the population
of Seowon votes, and a majority approves,
he will be fired immediately.
He must step down as mayor.
That's what it means.
The Prosecutors' Office
must provide conclusive evidence.
Foolproof evidence
that Chairman Yeong-guk Jo
bribed Mayor Sang-do Bae.
If they don't have proof,
they'll need to at least
provide a witness.
That way, the people can trust
the sincerity of the Prosecutors' Office.
Mayor Sang-do Bae received a bribe
regarding the Inseo
redevelopment, correct?
Among the 15 companies
that participated in the bidding,
the 11 that advanced to the final round
were fake companies that you created,
according to a source.
What does that mean?
It means, regardless of who wins the bid,
Hyeonseung Group's subsidiary,
Hyeonseung Development,
would get the Inseo redevelopment project.
Mayor Sang-do Bae
exerted his influence, correct?
He helped you, didn't he?
He did not.
You know Mayor Sang-do Bae, correct?
I do not.
You received his help, correct?
-I did not.
-How about phone calls?
I did not.
What brings you here?
It's Chairman Jo's orders.
Look here. Stop lying, will you?
The people are watching.
Mr. Assemblyman, I will repeat.
I've never met Mayor Sang-do Bae.
I've never spoken on the phone with him
and I've never received his help.
In other words,
I do not know Mayor Sang-do Bae.
-That's nonsense.
-What's he's talking?
What are you doing here? You must be busy.
No, I'm not busy.
I needed to tell you something, too.
Well
There was an accident
right after I spoke to you.
-So Jae-pil Joo
-I know.
I heard from the detective
about what happened to the person
who killed my husband.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? It wasn't your fault.
It's been
hard on you this entire time, too.
Now, you should live your own life.
Don't feel guilty.
I don't think
I can do that.
I think someone ordered him
to kill Chang-jun.
I plan to take it all the way.
I need to catch him and ask
why he did it.
Well
The people I work with are very skilled.
So, I plan to trust them.
You should also
Please trust me this one time.
This time,
I won't run away like last time.
No.
Please, trust me.
Thank you.
Hello?
-Mr. Jin-pyeong Noh.
-Yes, speaking.
I'm Jun-hyeok Ban,
the deputy chief prosecutor.
You know the situation,
so I'll get to the point.
Chairman Yeong-guk Jo
repeatedly said he didn't know anything
during his hearing yesterday.
-Hello.
-It's been pointed out
that he might be
just faking all his statements.
-His supporters
-Find evidence
that Yeong-guk Jo bribed mayor.
Then it'll be over.
We don't need anything else.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Someone new will be joining us.
This will turn red light
on the investigation of the prosecution
according to the result of the hearing.
What is Oxycontin?
Why does this keep showing up in our case?
It's a drug.
I think it comes from Seowon.
What the hell are you staring at?
We're here.
I don't trust people.
I trust their stories.
He has a good story.
You know the situation,
so I'll get to the point.
Leave that game if you want to live.
Come to me.
If you do, I'll tell you everything.
I'll tell you about everyone
working with you,
and how dangerous they are.
Get those bastards.
The good isn't experienced,
but the evil is.
Experienced good will become evil.
Do you get it now?
Do you get what kind of people
you're working with?
Yeong-guk Jo has a mole in our team?
What did you tell him?
Tell me, you crap!
Leave that game if you want to live.
What brings you here?
It's Chairman Jo's orders.
Do you understand whom you just took on?

EPISODE 2
Are you filming a movie?
Why are you trying to look cool
while drinking soju?
What about you?
Why are you walking in the rain?
Don't you have an umbrella?
You know that's not it.
-It's not expensive.
-It flipped outwards.
How have you been?
Drop the formalities.
We don't ask each other
how the other is doing.
Let's get down to business.
Why do you want Yeong-guk Jo?
What has gotten into you?
The times have changed. I should as well.
I guess getting a new President
really is a big deal.
It changed even someone like you.
But speaking from experience,
times may change, but people don't.
They only pretend to.
I have nothing to say to that.
You gave in so quickly.
What do you need me to do?
What is this?
What the
They are Yeong-guk Jo's clean-up crew.
What happened?
-Did you kill them?
-Why would I
Yeong-guk Jo killed them.
He hired someone to do it.
Why did he kill people
who would die for him?
A few days after I told him
I was going after him,
they all died.
He cut off his tail.
He thought they would talk
if they were alive.
Your job is to find out
why he killed them,
and what he was trying to hide.
That's your job. Can you do it?
I usually don't do what I can.
I do what I must.
I'll staff my crew.
Then I'll do it.
Who are you thinking of?
Jin-hwan from Violent Crimes,
Seong-hun from Criminal Investigations.
No. They fight with their brains.
They are pencil pushers,
not field material.
Then who?
Just say the word.
I'll create a special team and
They don't have to be
from the company, do they?
As long as they're good.
How about Mr. Heo?
Hey.
Are you here to eat?
What would you like?
I'm Dochi from the Beolgyo.
You know my brother, right?
You shattered his wrist recently.
I came for his medical bills.
If you have no money, close the shop.
Back then,
your brother broke things
in my restaurant,
so we agreed to call it even.
I can't agree.
Close the shop, you bastard.
Or pay up.
Mr. Heo? You mean Il-hu Heo, right?
What is he up to now?
Half the shops shut down
in Geobuk Market in Inseo
where they plan to redevelop.
He has a restaurant there.
Geobuk Market was still there?
The gangsters must be pressuring them.
How are those people still standing?
Weren't you listening?
Mr. Heo is there.
I'm sorry,
but I can't do that.
You're here anyway,
so why don't you eat?
What did this punk just say?
I said to close the shop
if you don't want to get beat up!
Our kimchi stew
-is pretty good.
-Why you
I know what you're thinking,
but it may be a problem later.
If they were cops,
I could cover for them but
Myeong-deuk.
You know why I need Mr. Heo.
Is it about what happened three years ago?
Don't tell me
you're thinking about
Seong-cheol Jang, too.
You said you could cover for cops.
He's a cop.
-I really don't know.
-Okay.
Let's do this.
You and I can fight right here, right now.
One punch each. One to one. Okay?
Why are you joking like that?
I'm not joking.
Why would I waste my time joking with you?
Let's do it. Let's fight.
If I win, you tell me everything
that you know.
If you win,
I'll let you walk right out of here.
And this is evidence of you
from the surveillance cameras
at the scene of the crime.
Take this, too.
You can burn it, wipe your ass with it,
eat it, whatever.
Do as you wish.
If you win.
What do you say?
Come on. Let's do it.
How can I trust you?
You have no faith in people.
Hey, Pil-sun!
Lock the door and turn off the cameras.
-What?
-Turn off the cameras and lock the door.
Let's be men. Let's do this.
Don't drag it out.
Let's do it. It's fun.
Don't go back on your word.
I've met all sorts of people
in my 50 years on earth,
and he's for real.
He's a real psycho.
He has no goal in life.
He lives because he's alive.
Darn it.
I'm not bleeding because you hit me.
I'm just tired.
What the fuck are you saying?
Get up!
You bastard.
You bastard.
You want to die?
Hey.
-Did you get it?
-I got it!
You got it?
What?
You don't like it?
Should I not bother?
No.
Keep going.
Ju-myeong is our crew,
so naturally he's in.
I need someone to do the paperwork
in my place.
I personally want someone like this.
Like who?
Someone who knows shame.
Why won't you let me investigate?
A detective died.
In broad daylight,
in the middle of the street,
-a detective
-Look.
It involves the East Gang.
You know who the East Gang
belongs to, right?
Jin-pyeong, take on
only what you can handle.
Don't try to handle it
after things blow up.
I know.
-I know it's hard for you, but
-No, sir.
It can't be hard on me.
I have no such right.
Prosecutors who bribe
and make it on the news
are like that because
they don't know shame.
They are prosecutors.
They should stick to it
even if they're poor.
But they drop cases
for a few hundred million won
and sell their souls.
How humiliating.
Anyway,
I'll find someone to do the paperwork.
Someone with a story.
Fine.
Do whatever you want.
Do as you please,
but keep this in mind,
they are all daggers.
Daggers don't have eyes.
They may stab you.
You know that from experience
three years ago.
Myeong-deuk.
Who do you think was responsible
for what happened three years ago?
I don't suspect
those holding daggers anymore
ever since that day.
I suspect those holding pens.
So, watch what you say.
We're the ones running around,
smelling sweat and blood.
You forgot all of that
because you smelled so much chalk.
Even if you feel like crap,
be understanding.
I'm living a crappy life
because my temper is crappy.
My peers are deputy chief prosecutors,
but I'm a chief prosecutor's gopher.
Don't drink too much.
I'll call once I'm set.
Hey.
Was he the one who killed them, too?
Freeze!
Shit.
Hey!
Shit.
Get in!
Oh, shit!
Look! Stop!
Come at me, bastard.
Come at me, bastard.
That bastard.
Shit!
Who hired you?
What?
My little sister.
Who told you to kill her?
I don't know, you retard.
Hey.
I looked up Gang-ju Han,
and the listed address is his sister's.
I don't think they actually live together.
I think after their mom died,
this and that happened,
and he used his sister's address.
There's something strange
about So-yeong Han.
Sorry, that's Gang-ju Han's little sister.
She was
Hello?
Hello?
Shit. The train is passing by again.
Hello?
Hey!
Should I text you?
How much is the rent here?
It's 1.5 million won a month.
Ju-myeong,
I really didn't want to say this,
but I said to find a quiet place.
It is quiet when the subway
doesn't pass by.
I'm saying this because it does.
It passes by every 20 minutes.
It was quiet when I came to check it out.
I'm sorry.
But, sir, I signed a six-month lease,
so we can't move yet
You drink it.
Gang-ju Han's sister So-yeong Han.
Start from there.
Yes, the strange thing
about So-yeong Han is,
she was stabbed
out of the blue
in her apartment elevator.
Excuse me.
This was when Jeong-guk Shim,
Seok-su Kim, and those guys died.
That's why
I wanted to see if anything was missed,
and checked the elevator
security video, and
I think So-yeong Han
was killed by
Jae-pil Joo.
No, it was him.
That bastard.
Why did that bastard go after her?
Do you think she had something
to do with Yeong-guk Jo?
Where is she now?
We'll have to keep monitoring
her condition.
Do you think that guy,
Gang-ju Han, killed Jae-pil Joo?
I doubt it.
He wouldn't have gone through
the trouble then.
I'm sure he's looking for the one
who gave the order.
The one who ordered Jae-pil Joo
to kill his sister.
Excuse me.
Do you know what her job is?
-Hello.
-Why didn't you tell me the reason
you went to Seowon?
She's Mayor Sang-do Bae's assistant.
She went to a good school, too.
I heard you left
because you didn't want to investigate
my husband's case.
I heard you weren't transferred out,
but that you requested it.
Why
Why didn't you tell me?
Why did Jae-pil do this
to the mayor's assistant?
I don't know. I have no idea.
All I know is, what happened to her
is related to the others who died.
Maybe we just didn't realize
because it seemed so random.
Does that mean the mayor
and Yeong-guk Jo are associated somehow?
What happened was
If that was how you felt
If you didn't want to deal with
my husband's case anymore,
you should have told me.
Then I
Then I
I wouldn't have waited.
I won't call
and bug you anymore.
-Take care of yourself.
-Wait.
I'll call you after I catch him.
Once I catch him, yes
I will
I promise I'll call.
The mayor may be involved
or it may have been just her.
Nothing is for sure.
How would I know that now?
Did you meet with the detective in charge?
His mother-in-law died, so
Mr. Heo. Are you interrogating me?
I'm getting offended.
I'm just telling you
what I just found out.
Shoot. I pulled my hamstring.
My leg is killing
Where are you going?
Excuse
The Inseo redevelopment business
is an opportunity for Seowon to become
not only a big city in Korea,
but an international city.
By developing the Hwanggucheon stream
which flows around Geobuk Market,
we'll make it the Venezia of Korea
No. Venice.
Venice? Hold on. What is it?
Venice and Venezia
are the same thing, Mr. Mayor.
They are the same city.
I forgot momentarily.
Let's take a break.
Mayor Sang-do Bae, correct?
It is. It's our mayor.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm a big fan of yours.
You must be a Seowon citizen.
I'm sorry,
but I'm in the middle of an interview.
Isn't our mayor just incredible?
He loves the people of this city.
Even with the Inseo redevelopment.
What's the point
in leaving it the way it is?
It's only filled with people
sitting on their behinds,
doing nothing but begging for money.
Beggars that drain the city's budget.
You're trying to kick them out.
That's why you're redeveloping
the area, right?
Calling them beggars is a bit
You know something?
During the last election,
72 percent of Inseo voted for you.
That means 72 out of 100
people voted for you.
You are so noble.
You won't cater to those who vote for you.
-Right?
-Why don't you come another time
Hold on. Let me ask him one question.
Mr. Mayor. Our dear mayor.
Mayor Bae, who loves the people
of the city so much,
there's something I really want to know.
Why did that happen to your assistant?
Why can't you respond?
She's in the hospital after being stabbed.
Why did that happen?
I don't know.
Something must have happened.
Right? Something must have happened.
But you see, I'm curious as to
what that something was.
Excuse me, but may I ask
what you do for a living?
Me? I don't do anything all that great.
It's quite humiliating to say.
I'm a prosecutor.
Seowon Prosecutors' Office.
Je-mun Woo. On sabbatical.
A prosecutor of Seowon
Prosecutors' Office, Je-mun Woo.
I'll remember that.
Someone like you will remember me?
I'm so honored.
Next time we meet,
let's take some pictures
in front of our company,
and answer some questions
from the reporters.
I hope that's how it will be.
Sang-do Bae is hiding something.
I'm sure he's linked to Yeong-guk Jo.
Put out an APB for Gang-ju Han's car.
We'll get Gang-ju Han, catch Jae-pil Joo,
and go after Yeong-guk Jo and Sang-do Bae.
Stolen car.
43LO3876. Black car.
Stolen car. 43LO3876. Black car.
Was it that bastard?
It was, wasn't it?
That's right.
Sang-mo Ha ordered me to do it.
He got the order from Yeong-guk Jo
to kill your sister.
Go after it.
This is patrol car one. Patrol car one.
We're at the Inseo intersection.
43LO3876.
Hold on. What did you say?
You found it? Where?
They found it?
Okay.
Patrol officers are tailing it.
Start the car.
Tell them to tail them quietly.
Black car, 43LO3876.
Please pull over.
Hey, 3876. Stop the car.
Black car, 43LO3876.
Pull over.
Hey.
You caught him?
Caught what? I said to just tail him!
POLICE
Was that too much to ask for?
Just do what you're told, bastards.
Hello? This is Prosecutor Je-mun Woo.
Did you catch him or are you catching him?
Let me see your license.
You're arresting him?
I said to just follow him!
He isn't someone you can catch.
You'll get hurt.
Connect me to the center.
Okay. 43LO3876.
That's 43LO3876. Black car. Track it.
It just passed the Inseo intersection.
There's a dent in the bumper.
Don't lose its location, got it?
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, 43LO3876 is passing the Tower 41.
What's past Tower 41?
Innam furniture district.
This is Kim.
That car 3876.
Yes. Okay.
Pil-sun, Innam furniture district.
Innam furniture district.
Okay.
Sir, 3876 just passed Innam CGV Theater.
-Innam CGV.
-Got it.
Sir, 3876 went into Innam Booth.
-Innam Booth? The red light district?
-What?
Where is this bastard going?
Why there?
That's enough.
Hi there, Gang-ju.
-Shit.
-Bastard.
Shit.
I washed this today.
Jeez. I told you to stay low.
Why do you never listen?
Look at what you did to the club.
All the customers left.
It's a Friday night. Shit.
-My sister So-yeong.
-What?
Why did you do that to my sister So-yeong?
What is this punk saying?
Why is he mumbling? What?
My sister So-yeong!
Shit.
Retard. That's ancient history.
Geez. This freak.
Look at his eyes.
I can't stand him.
Hey. Beat him up. Don't kill him though.
I'll kill you.
Moron. Why did he have
to come on a Friday?
We lost all the customers.
Shit.
Make sure he won't come again.
-Shit.
-Get over here!
What is that?
Hey, bastards. You want to take a trip
down memory lane?
You fucking bastard!
Get him!
Get him!
-Stay here.
-Yes, sir.
I said we were in the middle
of an investigation.
There
You bastard!
Stay right where you are.
Where is Jae-pil Joo?
Hey, Gang-ju.
Why did you come here
if you were going to get pounded?
You should have let us catch you instead.
Where did you hide Jae-pil Joo?
You didn't kill him, did you?
Did you think you could resolve it
if you went on a rampage?
That's stupidity.
Look at yourself. You're a mess.
You would be dead by now
if we didn't show up.
Hey, don't be like that.
Hand him over to us.
You saw it. Fists won't work.
Now, we must use the law.
I'm a prosecutor, you know.
Sir, please help me.
The Prosecutors' Office can't do this.
Please, help me.
You're a deputy chief prosecutor.
Who was the prosecutor that went
to see you?
Je-mun Woo.
Je-mun Woo of Seowon Prosecutors' Office.
Je-mun Woo.
If I tell you,
will you reduce my sentence?
I'll decide later. Just talk, you bastard.
Jeong-guk Shim, Chang-hui Kang,
Seok-su Kim, and So-yeong Han.
Why did Yeong-guk Jo have you kill them?
Sir, no one in this world
dies without a reason.
Even when you kill a mosquito,
there's a reason.
Because it's annoying
or in case it gets annoying.
Hey.
Hey. Stay away.
He sprayed mosquito repellant
in case they get annoying.
Sit down.
Hey, Jae-pil. You cocky bastard.
How dare you use a metaphor?
This is all amusing to you, isn't it?
This is bad.
I want to stop talking.
You bastard.
Hey.
You and Yeong-guk Jo are the same.
How dare you give us that bullshit,
you cocky bastard.
Hey. He can get hurt, right?
Yes, it doesn't matter
as long as he's alive.
You poor thing.
That guy is legit,
but even he isn't on your side.
What now?
Drop the bullshit!
Eat a little more, bastard.
You freak!
Mr. Noh.
Will there be a problem
with the paperwork?
You can make it fit okay?
Yes.
I'll write it up somehow.
Do as you wish.
Hey, he's the prosecutor on your case.
It's up to him to decide
whether you spend tens of years in jail
or the rest of your life, so spill it.
Stop being cocky like before.
-Okay.
-Let's start.
Why did Yeong-guk Jo kill Chang-hui Kang,
Seok-su Kim, and the others?
Because of the mayor.
The chairman has a resort in Cheongpyeong.
That's where he met with people
he had to meet discreetly.
Anyway, that's what he did,
but the mayor couldn't take his official
car to meet the chairman, could he?
But he couldn't tell him to drive himself
all the way there.
That's why he sent someone
to drive him there.
We'll be there in about half an hour.
Seok-su Kim?
Okay.
Hey.
What did Yeong-guk Jo offer the mayor?
What could he get from him?
The chairman took the mayor for a fool.
You know the mayor is stupid.
Hyeonseung's lawyer Chang-hui Kang
would review the documents,
and the CFO, Jeong-guk Shim
would fudge the numbers.
The chairman and Mayor Bae
siphoned a lot of money like that,
and they planned to continue.
But your
Your chief prosecutor
suddenly came at him.
Come in for questioning
and take your punishment
before things get bigger.
Rather than let it get out
and become a problem,
he decided to bury it.
That's why he killed those people.
In case they would become a nuisance.
Hey.
What about So-yeong Han?
What could an assistant know?
She heard.
I looked into it
and we can do it as discussed.
There won't be any problems.
No need to thank me. Thank you.
Gosh. Thanks to you, Chairman Jo,
life is so enjoyable for me.
Yes. Push forward with it.
Okay, thank you.
I wanted to tell you
your schedule for the day.
I knocked, but you didn't respond.
My apologies.
What exactly did the mayor
and Yeong-guk Jo take?
What did they work on together?
Was it worth killing people over?
Was it something worth killing people
to keep it a secret?
He would have killed much more
if he could hide it.
So what is that, you bastard?
Look.
If I tell you this
If I tell you everything I know,
will you be able to handle it?
Try me.
Then I'll tell you
what the chairman and mayor
are trying to hide.
Once we hand him over
to the prosecutors, it's over.
Good job.
Not like you did anything, but still.
Wait a second.
Hey. Why did you kill Chang-jun?
Detective Chang-jun Park.
Why did you kill him?
Who was that?
You can't even remember
someone you killed?
There are too many that I have killed.
How could I remember all of them?
Ask the chairman.
I only kill the people
the chairman orders me to kill.
Rot in jail for the rest of your life.
You'll remember after a while.
-Take him away.
-Okay.
Hurry it up!
-Yes, sir.
-Yes, sir.
Get in.
-Hey.
-Make sure you don't have a tail.
Route one is backed up,
so go through the city.
Okay. Sure.
Long time no see.
How have you been?
Why are you staring?
It's not like I can't be here.
It's me.
Well
You know that jerk who killed Chang-jun?
We caught him.
We're going to take him
to the company now.
I thought I would have something
to say once we caught him.
I feel like I haven't been able
to say this all this time.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm very sorry.
I'll call you after it has been
taken care of.
What the
What the hell?
Stop the car! Ask for backup. Hurry!
-Shit. Damn it.
-What the hell?
Hey!
-Those rats.
-Hey!
Who are those bastards?
This is insane.
-Il-gang.
-The chairman found out. So did the boss.
You should go first.
The chairman took over
Seowon City long ago.
How do you think Hyeonseung grew?
He gave the stupid mayor
a little spending money
and planted our people in City Hall,
and created fake companies and ate up
all the businesses the city did.
Hyeonseung Planning is the best
for city image advertisements.
Did you have a subsidiary
named Hyeonseung Planning?
I'm going to make one now.
He would spend half the budget
and pocket the rest.
Stop! No!
Advertisements, sports,
construction, landscaping, welfare.
Even a playground in a senior center.
The chairman was involved in them all.
They needed the chairman's approval
for the city budget.
You're saying
the taxes that we paid
with our hard-earned money
went into Yeong-guk Jo's pocket,
and he used that to build Hyeonseung?
You call this a nation? Really?
-Shit!
-Damn it!
The Inseo redevelopment is the real deal.
If he succeeds with this,
the chairman will become national.
The country will be
in the palm of his hand.
-Shit!
-Calm down!
Detective Jang.
Please, calm down.
Is there no other way then?
What about that girl So-yeong Han?
She's still unconscious.
We don't know when she'll wake up.
Let's get the warrant and make it bigger.
I will brief you on the investigation
surrounding Hyeonseung Group's
chairman Yeong-guk Jo,
and the mayor of Seowon City, Sang-do Bae,
regarding the corruption surrounding
the bid for the redevelopment of Inseo.
The Prosecutors' Office asserts that
the mayor of Seowon, Sang-do Bae,
took a 50 billion won bribe
from Yeong-guk Jo,
Hyeonseung Group's chairman,
in exchange for winning the bid
for the Inseo redevelopment.
The Inseo redevelopment
consists of building
100,000 apartment households
and houses until the year 2025
It's me, Mr. Chairman. What must I do
Why don't you give a statement?
Don't cry again. Okay.
My beloved citizens of Seowon,
I'm sure you all know
what kind of a person I am.
Me? Take a bribe?
Heaven and earth know that I am pure,
and so do you.
As Seowon's mayor,
I've worked only for the people of Seowon,
thought only of the people of Seowon,
and looked only at the people of Seowon.
I work for Seowon, stand by Seowon,
and am a mayor of Seowon.
The Request to Recall Mayor Bae
has been submitted
with the Election Committee.
The public wants to know about
the hearings with the local residents.
Please explain what it is.
What is the Request to Recall?
Remember how the President
was impeached early this year?
It's similar to that.
If at least two-thirds of the population
of Seowon votes, and a majority approves,
he will be fired immediately.
He must step down as mayor.
That's what it means.
The Prosecutors' Office
must provide conclusive evidence.
Foolproof evidence
that Chairman Yeong-guk Jo
bribed Mayor Sang-do Bae.
If they don't have proof,
they'll need to at least
provide a witness.
That way, the people can trust
the sincerity of the Prosecutors' Office.
Mayor Sang-do Bae received a bribe
regarding the Inseo
redevelopment, correct?
Among the 15 companies
that participated in the bidding,
the 11 that advanced to the final round
were fake companies that you created,
according to a source.
What does that mean?
It means, regardless of who wins the bid,
Hyeonseung Group's subsidiary,
Hyeonseung Development,
would get the Inseo redevelopment project.
Mayor Sang-do Bae
exerted his influence, correct?
He helped you, didn't he?
He did not.
You know Mayor Sang-do Bae, correct?
I do not.
You received his help, correct?
-I did not.
-How about phone calls?
I did not.
What brings you here?
It's Chairman Jo's orders.
Look here. Stop lying, will you?
The people are watching.
Mr. Assemblyman, I will repeat.
I've never met Mayor Sang-do Bae.
I've never spoken on the phone with him
and I've never received his help.
In other words,
I do not know Mayor Sang-do Bae.
-That's nonsense.
-What's he's talking?
What are you doing here? You must be busy.
No, I'm not busy.
I needed to tell you something, too.
Well
There was an accident
right after I spoke to you.
-So Jae-pil Joo
-I know.
I heard from the detective
about what happened to the person
who killed my husband.
I see.
I'm sorry.
Why are you sorry? It wasn't your fault.
It's been
hard on you this entire time, too.
Now, you should live your own life.
Don't feel guilty.
I don't think
I can do that.
I think someone ordered him
to kill Chang-jun.
I plan to take it all the way.
I need to catch him and ask
why he did it.
Well
The people I work with are very skilled.
So, I plan to trust them.
You should also
Please trust me this one time.
This time,
I won't run away like last time.
No.
Please, trust me.
Thank you.
Hello?
-Mr. Jin-pyeong Noh.
-Yes, speaking.
I'm Jun-hyeok Ban,
the deputy chief prosecutor.
You know the situation,
so I'll get to the point.
Chairman Yeong-guk Jo
repeatedly said he didn't know anything
during his hearing yesterday.
-Hello.
-It's been pointed out
that he might be
just faking all his statements.
-His supporters
-Find evidence
that Yeong-guk Jo bribed mayor.
Then it'll be over.
We don't need anything else.
Got it?
Yes, sir.
Someone new will be joining us.
This will turn red light
on the investigation of the prosecution
according to the result of the hearing.
What is Oxycontin?
Why does this keep showing up in our case?
It's a drug.
I think it comes from Seowon.
What the hell are you staring at?
We're here.
I don't trust people.
I trust their stories.
He has a good story.
You know the situation,
so I'll get to the point.
Leave that game if you want to live.
Come to me.
If you do, I'll tell you everything.
I'll tell you about everyone
working with you,
and how dangerous they are.
Get those bastards.
The good isn't experienced,
but the evil is.
Experienced good will become evil.
Do you get it now?
Do you get what kind of people
you're working with?
Yeong-guk Jo has a mole in our team?
What did you tell him?
Tell me, you crap!
Leave that game if you want to live.
What brings you here?
It's Chairman Jo's orders.
Do you understand whom you just took on?
