(All characters, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious.)
We got it.
Now, we take the next step.
- The next step?
- We'll find out
who killed Mr. Lee and why.
This isn't a place
anyone can barge into.
(Warrant for Immediate Arrest)
(Carefree Nation,
Righteous Prosecution)
District Head Prosecutor Kim,
congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
- I just saw the announcement.
Congratulations, sir.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Now isn't a good time
- I hope we get along.
- Me too.
- I'm excited to work with you.
- Thank you.
What?
(Warrant for Immediate Arrest: Jin Jung)
Prosecutor Jin Jung,
you are under arrest
for the murder of Lee Jang Won.
Here's the car entry log
at the law office tower.
This witness statement puts you
at the scene.
So this is what I want to know.
Why on earth
did you murder Deputy Chief Lee?
You accused him of murder
so that wouldn't have
sat right with him.
Was there an altercation?
You were the last person he called.
He said he had something to tell me.
There's no way to confirm that.
There's a suspect in his case.
You don't have any concrete evidence.
Likewise.
Bring forth direct evidence
that makes me his murderer.
This was found at your residence.
The blood on the needle is Mr. Lee's,
and your fingerprint
is on the syringe.
Seriously. What is all this?
Who put you up to this?
What do you mean?
Who's pulling the strings?
Fine. Think whatever you want.
Give up, Prosecutor Jin.
You're not getting out of this.
I knew you lacked conscience,
but you were also stupid.
Didn't I tell you
that I'd bring people like you down?
I wouldn't have started anything
if this were enough to end me.
So listen to me loud and clear.
Someone for some reason
is obviously trying to frame me.
I'll find out who it is
and arrest all those involved.
(Bad Prosecutor)
(Bad Prosecutor)
(Episode 5)
What do you want?
(Suspect: Jin Jung, 31)
(Fingerprints found at the scene)
(Article 250 of the Penal Code: Murder)
No way.
Leave if you're done reading that.
I have an indictment to prepare for.
Are you going to indict him on this?
Is there a reason not to?
I don't know
who wrote the screenplay,
but someone made Jung
the leading man.
It doesn't make sense.
Why would he murder
What isn't right
is you being this way.
You're impeding my investigation.
So leave.
I understand you care for Jung.
But this time around,
refrain from helping him.
I'm only saying this for your sake.
It's you who should cool it.
You have some nerve
ordering me around.
Prosecutor Jin!
Are you all right?
I'm good.
You must know what's going on.
This road leads to you
taking the fall.
But he had no reason
to murder Mr. Lee.
His movements
after Mr. Lee's death
are nothing like that
of a murder suspect.
That much would work in our favor.
In court, witness statements
carry more weight.
Your argument would be pointless.
For now, stay put and say nothing.
You won't be indicted any time soon,
so I'll figure something out.
What I know about Oh Do Hwan
tells me that this isn't his design.
Someone else is pulling the strings.
What about Senior Prosecutor Kim?
I heard he became
the district head prosecutor.
Mr. Kim?
Run with it.
Any doubts or suspicions
should always be investigated.
Whatever happens,
I will take the fall.
Your job is to focus solely on
the case.
Mr. Kim has always been on our side.
It must be someone involved in
Mr. Lee's case.
Someone who wanted Mr. Lee's case
to remain as a suicide.
And you think that person
is framing you?
To stop you from chasing the case?
It could be an elaborate cover-up.
If I'm found guilty in court,
I won't be able
to investigate the case.
Just like Kim Hyo Jun
of the Seocho-dong murder case.
(District Head Prosecutor
Kim Tae Ho)
(Congratulations on your promotion.)
Are you heading out?
What's this?
(Murder Case of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won)
(Title: Investigation Report)
You promised to do everything.
So prove it to me.
I'll try to find out
who's behind Oh Do Hwan.
I appreciate the thought but don't.
I'll find out.
You will?
There's an ox bone soup restaurant
in the market.
Get me a bowl of the ox bone soup.
For my breakfast tomorrow.
I want some rich broth.
(Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office)
(Interrogation Room)
Okay.
Come on, take off the cuffs.
I need to eat.
Let's go.
Gosh.
(Food is your medicine.)
Gosh. The broth is so rich.
Right.
It's so rich that no one would know
even if you hide something in it.
Like what?
Like a handcuff key.
Look. You can't see anything
through the broth.
But why would you do that?
Enjoy your meal.
(Arrest Warrant, Name: Jin Jung)
(Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)
What?
Gosh. What took you so long?
What is this?
Where are your handcuffs?
Didn't Prosecutor Oh tell you?
There was a misunderstanding.
- Have a good day.
- Just a minute, sir.
Let us call him to confirm that.
Gosh. Is that necessary? Go ahead.
Gosh. What was that sound?
Hey!
(Arrest Warrant)
What? What's going on?
Hello?
(Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)
Darn it.
- Sorry about that.
- Wait.
- Hold on. Don't pull.
- The key!
Come on. The key is over there.
I'm sorry.
Yes.
I got it.
(Prosecutor's Office,
Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)
(Murder Case of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won)
(Murder Case of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won)
(Prosecutor's Office,
Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan)
Hey.
Thanks.
I'll open the door for you next time.
Get him!
You startled me.
- Darn it.
- He's over there.
- Get him!
- Go after him.
Get him! He's over there.
- Get him!
- Catch that guy.
Corner him!
- Stop him.
- Hey!
- Stop!
- Corner him.
No! Get him!
Lee Chul Ki speaking.
Gosh. How are you? Are you all right?
Yes.
Yes. I'll meet you there.
- Was that Prosecutor Jin?
- No!
No way.
It's not Prosecutor Jin.
Are you a robot?
If you're going to act, do it right.
Or answer the phone outside.
You can be quite sloppy.
Get out. You're distracting me.
Leave. You're distracting me.
Thank you.
Come with us.
The police already searched
Prosecutor Jin's house.
Just in case.
There might be evidence
that can help Prosecutor Jin.
Let's get going anyway.
Yes, what is it?
Prosecutor Jin disappeared.
What?
Hello?
Hello, sir.
Are you on your way?
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can make it.
Oh Do Hwan is right next to me.
You should run now!
Prosecutor Jin.
You're only increasing
your sentence.
Give up, and turn yourself in.
I must see this through.
I'll catch you in the end.
I'll catch you, Prosecutor Oh.
You just wait for me.
I'll come see you soon.
We won't detain you
to investigate this case.
Always keep your phone on.
Focus on arresting
Prosecutor Jin for now.
Sir!
- But he's
- I know what you're going to say.
For the record, I agree with you.
But look.
You and I are both prosecutors.
At times, we must believe in
our organization's decision
and follow it.
Are you asking me
to follow their decision
over someone's innocence?
This is for Prosecutor Jin's sake.
I don't understand
how this is going to help him.
The press got wind of this.
I can hold off the press for now,
but I don't know what they'll say
about him if it goes further.
If there's a problem, we should
try to solve it within the organization.
Don't you think so?
Just do as I say about this matter.
Oh, right.
If Prosecutor Jin calls you,
convince him to come back, okay?
I'll do my best too.
But, sir.
(Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu)
You may leave.
(District Head Prosecutor
Kim Tae Ho)
Hyun Kyu.
Tae Ho.
Yes?
I know you're busy after becoming
the district head prosecutor.
But you should do
the house chores too.
Let's do well, okay?
Yes, Mr. Seo.
I've been thinking about
how I could help you.
These guys are easy to work with.
Put them to work
and make use of them.
Ones who worked in anti-corruption
and public investigation
are especially good.
I'm sure they'll be helpful.
But Mr. Seo, this is
Do you really have to do this?
I'm on your side,
so why would you
(Park Hyun Wook, Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office)
(Kang Byung Il, Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office)
So you want me to be your puppet?
What about the CCTV footage
in and outside of the office?
- Did you get anything?
- Nothing.
What about reports from the police?
What about his credit card
transaction records?
Nothing yet.
He knows that he'll be tracked down
if he uses his credit card.
Mr. Park. There are people who work
with Prosecutor Jin.
A man and a woman.
Do a background check and find them
as soon as possible.
Okay.
See you later.
Eun Ji.
Why are you doing this?
Isn't it embarrassing?
If the boss sees this, he'll cry.
It's okay. They're my juniors.
Ms. Baek Eun Ji?
We're from the prosecution.
You need to come with us.
Gosh, let me go.
Let me go
and tell me what this is about.
You should tell me what's going on.
Let me go. Prosecutor Jin ordered
you to do this, right?
I'll go by myself, okay?
Grab him!
Hold on.
Is it because of that last week?
Because I recovered
those text messages?
I'm sorry we had to be rough on you.
It takes too long
to issue a subpoena.
And I thought
you wouldn't show up anyway.
Let me introduce myself
to you properly.
I'm Prosecutor Shin A Ra
from Criminal Division Three
at the Central District
Prosecutors' Office.
I'm Baek Eun Ji.
I'm Ko Joong Do.
Why did you bring us here?
I'll get to the point right away.
Prosecutor Jin is being framed for
the murder of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won.
- Pardon?
- What?
I told you I'd come to see you soon.
Which scumbag is framing me?
Answer me.
What for?
What could you do if you knew?
You're a fugitive
who's a murder suspect.
Do I need to tell you again?
You can't escape from this.
You jerk.
Drive.
Drive if you don't want to die.
What's going on?
Drive, you punk!
He escaped while being investigated.
So we're looking for him right now.
If it goes like this,
he'll get expelled,
and an APB will be issued too.
Did he call you by any chance?
Or is there a way we can find him?
I don't know.
They located Prosecutor Jin.
Darn it.
Snowball, let's go.
Come this way.
Snowball.
Come.
Did you eat?
Hey.
Yes?
Slow down, will you?
You'll give me indigestion
at that rate.
You must be thrilled
to have that bump on your head.
The kimchi is delicious.
What?
The kimchi's delicious.
- It's good?
- Yes.
I see.
Dig in, then.
The danmuji isn't though.
You're being framed?
Let's say I believe you for now.
What do you plan on doing?
I'm going to make a stand.
Whoever framed me will regret
messing with the wrong person.
I see you're still willing to fight.
Your son is a good-looking boy.
Your wife's beautiful as well.
So where's your family?
It seems like you live here alone.
- I'm a goose dad.
- Sorry?
A goose dad.
My son and his mom
Well, they live elsewhere.
I'm only letting you stay the night.
Starting tomorrow,
you're on your own.
I've been curious.
What brought you
to the Civil Affairs Division?
By having an attitude like yours.
Sir.
Can't you ask everything at once?
What now?
This one is important.
Thank you.
Good night.
Coco, have you been well?
Daddy's sorry
for not being there for you.
We'll sleep together today.
Here.
Snowball, get in here.
- Prosecutor Shin.
- Yes?
The two you had brought in.
Why did you let them go?
I couldn't keep innocent civilians here
against their will.
It's not like
they've been helping Prosecutor Jin.
I thought that letting them leave
was the right choice.
Are you sure it wasn't
so that they'd help Prosecutor Jin?
Cut the nonsense
and please head home.
Sure. I'll get going, then.
Shin A Ra speaking.
A Ra, it's me.
Where on earth are you?
Somewhere safe.
How are things at the office?
As if you don't know.
I was also assigned to bring you in.
That's upsetting to hear.
I heard you met Oh Do Hwan.
Did you find out
who the mastermind was?
This isn't going to be easy.
If only I had you by my side.
Actually, I'd rather keep my distance.
Ko Joong Do and Baek Eun Ji
were sent home.
Contacting them is up to you.
Thanks.
Forget it.
From this moment on,
I'll come after you.
I'll arrest you
and get promoted for it,
so don't you dare
let someone else catch you.
Affirmative.
And stay safe.
(Murder Case of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won)
I have something to tell you.
(Autopsy Report)
Did you stay up all night?
Would you like some ramyeon?
None of this makes sense.
(Autopsy Report)
Don't say I never asked.
Just know that I'm not sharing.
Nice!
Gosh, this looks good.
Is that ramyeon?
Where's mine?
Are you eating all by yourself?
Can't I join you?
Is something a mystery to you?
I just don't get it, that's all.
(Murder Case of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won)
This part right here.
I never said I wanted to read it.
Okay, fine.
(Methamphetamine Component Analysis)
(Test Findings)
(Conclusion:
The victim was pushed off the building.)
(It's likely that the victim
was murdered.)
What about this?
Methamphetamine is a stimulant,
not a depressant.
One that produces
a high euphoric effect
but with serious side effects.
Yes, crystal meth.
To kill him
but make it look like a suicide,
shouldn't a sedative
have been better?
That would have made him
easier to subdue
and easier to push off a building.
Why did the killer
inject him with crystal meth?
And not make it easier on himself
by administering a sedative?
List the effects of crystal meth.
A euphoric mood, hallucinations,
sexual arousal,
elevated physical vitality,
heightened brain function,
feelings of depression,
happiness, and anxiety.
It also provokes violent behavior.
There's one more.
It's a truth serum.
A truth serum?
The second you take the drug,
memories and emotions
flood your brain.
So what do you think will happen?
Your head is close to exploding
with no way to release the pressure.
That's when you start talking.
You're in a good mood after all.
You yap on and on
until the drug wears off.
Is that actually possible?
Spilling secrets
while under the influence of meth?
You see it all the time.
People get talkative
while under the influence.
Of alcohol, right?
Even alcohol can be a truth serum.
Then the killer
wanted information from Mr. Lee.
Sometimes, it's better
to go back to where you started.
Rather than figuring out
who framed you,
finding Mr. Lee's killer
could be simpler.
That is it for today's class.
The rest is for you to figure out.
What am I supposed to figure out?
(We offer you our new jjajangmyeon
made by our new chef!)
Even jjajangmyeon
tastes different
depending on the cook.
Why am I saying that you ask?
As you know,
Korea is no longer a drug-free country.
China, Japan, and the Philippines.
Drugs are coming from
Sorry.
- Out.
- What?
Put your hands out.
Anyway,
the competition has been
pretty tight in Korea as well.
So these guys started
to get smart about this.
The signature.
It's a way to appeal
to more customers.
By adding or removing
certain substances,
they're coming up
with their own signature.
"I made this drug."
"You can only buy it from me."
Like jjajangmyeon from a new chef.
(Nutrition Information)
Then if we break down
the components of the drugs,
we'll be able to find
the manufacturer.
Gosh. Don't forget
about the ledger for customers.
(Nutrition Information)
(Test Findings)
All right.
- Did you have fun?
- Come on.
What is it now?
I answered all of their questions.
I told everything to Prosecutor Oh.
I'm here for something else.
(Autopsy Report)
What's this?
"Autopsy Report?"
(It's likely that the victim
was murdered.)
So this guy was murdered?
No questions.
Just answer my questions.
Who made this drug?
I know that you've been
a part of the distribution chain.
And I also know that
you can find the manufacturer
by the recipe.
Don't look so surprised.
Well, I might be able
to remember something.
What?
You have golf clubs in the car,
right?
Open your trunk.
Hey. Hold on. Sir.
Gosh. Come on.
Are you a thug or a prosecutor?
This is from the guys in Gangnam.
They're known for adding
a lot of pseudoephedrine.
The component in cold medicine.
Their photos and location.
I don't have them.
I heard that they have a dragon tattoo
on their necks.
And they throw a party
every Friday at the club.
You should check it out.
Let me borrow this.
Right.
Don't make me come and find you.
Answer your phone.
You're not off the hook yet.
Gosh. That jerk.
He took the most expensive one.
He left. I'll tail him now.
Gosh.
- Gosh. What was that?
- What was that?
What was that? Goodness.
Gosh. Come on.
Can't you drive better?
Oh, my back.
(Computer Doctor)
(Number withheld)
- Where are you?
- I'm at Joong Do's shop.
Did they tail you?
I was able to ditch them
thanks to Eun Ji.
Okay. Listen up.
I might be able to find out
who killed Deputy Chief Lee.
The club in Gangnam is our lead.
And the dragon neck tattoo.
- Joong Do.
- I'll have to deduct two for this.
Find the ledger and text me.
I'll meet you there.
How will you get in there?
You're here.
- Shall we get going?
- Yes.
- Hold on tight.
- Okay.
My son.
My goodness. You startled me!
What is that?
What do you mean?
It's me, your mother.
Darn it.
Police came by this afternoon.
Did you cause trouble?
Gosh. Eat the cucumber.
Or do the face pack.
Do just one thing.
Why are you wearing that outside?
- Should I take it off?
- Take it off.
I just put it on.
Tell me.
What kind of trouble are you in?
I'm not in any trouble.
Come on.
I've been around way too long.
Be honest with me.
I won't beat you up.
I'm not in any trouble, Mother.
Okay. It's fine
as long as you didn't kill anyone.
- What about your meals?
- I'm eating well.
- Are you dating anyone?
- I'm looking for someone.
What about Coco?
- Coco became Snowball.
- What?
It just happened that way.
You took good care of it.
You hated it when Dad drove this.
I want to throw it out,
but I don't have time to schedule it
with the city.
My son.
You know that I trust you, right?
And a while ago,
I went to my friend's
grandchild's first birthday party.
Hey.
Hold on.
Why
am I working so hard?
Gosh. I need to talk
to Prosecutor Jin.
I should deduct more than just two.
Focus.
Right. I got it. See?
There. Club Vertigo.
Gosh. That club.
There are only hotties at that club.
Gosh.
Sweet.
Let's go.
The members of drug organizations
are usually scattered around.
So we'll never be able to catch
their boss with these small fish.
Tonight is our only chance,
so we can't mess this up.
What do you think you're doing?
- Sorry.
- What are you doing?
What was that?
I'm sorry.
If you find him,
don't react and tell me right away.
The VIP table on the second floor.
Let's not make a scene.
Hold your positions. Let's get him
at once when he comes out.
We're from
the drug investigation unit.
Don't move and please cooperate.
- Sit down.
- Goodness.
- Gosh.
- Sit.
- Sit!
- What is this about?
What? What's going on?
What are they doing here
all of a sudden?
I think they're here to bust them.
- Goodness.
- Run!
Darn it.
Where are they?
Let's get out of here.
What? Where did they go?
- How are we going to follow him?
- My darling.
Hurry up.
- Hurry up and get the stuff.
- Come on.
- Hurry up and pack up.
- Hurry.
- Did you get it?
- Darn it.
(Client List)
Hurry up, you jerks.
Let's go.
Hey.
- Who's this punk?
- Me?
A prosecutor.
- A prosecutor?
- Yes.
You punk.
- Gosh. My joint!
- Open it!
- My joint!
- Goodness.
- Get him!
- Darn it.
This is nice.
You hit my joint.
Don't make a fuss.
I said I was a prosecutor.
Why would you act up?
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello, sir.
Hi.
Gosh.
(CEO Seo Hyun Kyu)
How was your templestay?
It wasn't fun. The food wasn't good.
Mr. Lee Seung Jun embezzled
his company's money.
Who's Lee Seung Jun?
The first son of Jungil Group?
If he wanted to play with money,
he shouldn't have gotten caught.
If he was going to get caught,
he shouldn't have done it
in the first place.
How much is it?
Fifty billion won?
He's the successor of the company,
but he did that for chump change?
My gosh.
Yes, sir.
Of course, I'll take care of it.
It won't be in the newspapers.
Tell your son
not to be too discouraged.
Yes, okay.
Which office has the jurisdiction?
The Seoul Southern District
Prosecutors' Office.
Set up a meeting
with the district head prosecutor.
Put the report on Lee Seung Jun
in the library.
Yes, Father.
What about Jin Jung?
Our intelligence team says he's
after the one who bought the drug.
He went that far?
He sure knows how to do his job.
In what way
should I handle this kid?
(Completion Ceremony
of Legal Trainees)
What is he up to,
and why isn't he calling me?
(Number withheld)
Prosecutor Jin?
A Ra.
Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm all right.
Do me a favor.
This is a ledger
with the list of drug buyers.
(Client List)
Their IDs are written here.
The culprit is among them.
The one who killed
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Lee Jang Won.
In the two weeks
leading up to Mr. Lee's death,
five people purchased the drug.
I need you to run background checks.
Okay, I'll look into them.
It's important, so
I think you were tailed.
Darn it.
You punk!
- Get down from there.
- Go!
You!
Get up there!
Darn it.
Hey. Stop where you are.
- Grab him!
- Are you kidding me?
- Stop right there!
- My gosh.
Darn it.
Did he actually just do that?
- Hey, get over here.
- We lost him.
- I bet you can't.
- Go.
- Get over there.
- You can do it.
- You
- He's on his way.
- Seriously?
- Watch out.
Don't. It's dangerous.
- Are you okay?
- Hey!
- Are you all right?
- My back.
Don't do it!
Just stay back.
- Get him!
- Darn it.
Hey!
- Stop.
- Get back here.
Stop where you are!
- Get him!
- After him!
Stop where you are.
Darn it!
Stop!
Get him!
Darn it. Go after him.
- That
- Head back down.
Darn it.
What on earth?
Hey, this way.
Where did he go?
