Bad Prosecutor (2022) s01e07 Episode Script

Episode 7

1
(All characters, organizations,
and events in this drama are fictitious.)
It wasn't me.
I wasn't aware of that.
I
But framing Prosecutor Jin
is something you actually did.
Hearing the truth from me
won't help you solve anything.
Only I can decide what I'm capable of.
Just answer the darn question.
I had no choice. That's my answer.
Excuse me.
Ta-da.
I bet you didn't know.
Just answer the darn question.
I had no choice. That's my answer.
I always speak casually to crooks.
I don't treat them as human beings.
You're done for.
When that's your only proof?
It's illegal for a third party
to record private conversations.
In other words,
that only proves your crime, not mine.
You will never be able
to take me to court.
Not even the press would care.
The press may go on and on about
the freedom of speech,
but they kneel to those
who have power.
You will never be able to get me.
Do you know why?
Because there's nothing you can do.
I'll give you one last chance
since I'm impressed by your tenacity
as well as A Ra's.
Hand over the recording device.
Answer it. I'm sure it's urgent.
(Head of PR)
I apologize for calling you
at this hour,
but you must check
the company bulletin board.
(District Head Prosecutor Kim,
why did you do this?)
Hearing the truth from me
won't help you solve anything.
The full recording
will be uploaded in five minutes.
Hurry and ask me what I want.
Enough with your games.
All I have to do
is claim that it's fake.
Go ahead, then.
Would people believe that once they hear
the whole conversation?
Prosecutors aren't pinheads.
Anyway, this is how I roll.
Anyone who I can't kill
will at least be driven
to the brink of death.
Prosecutor Jin Jung of the Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.
I'll have my name cleared
and report back for duty tomorrow.
(Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office)
(Episode 7)
(Prosecutors' Office)
I see you came out to greet me.
What game are you playing?
You people sure lack communication.
I can't be bothered to explain,
so call your master.
I know you and Kim Tae Ho framed me,
so call him.
Don't you know his number?
(District Head Prosecutor
Kim Tae Ho)
Prosecutor Jin is right in front of me.
Let him be.
- But
- Just do as you're told!
Is that mine?
A warrant for my immediate arrest?
I'm sure you're aware of this,
but I've been smacked around recently.
(Warrant for Immediate Arrest)
Get your guard up
because the ball is now in my court.
(Bad Prosecutor)
(Bad Prosecutor)
(Law Firm Kangsan)
We will now go over
the financial statement.
The company saw
an increase of five percent
compared
to last quarter's net income.
The debt that must be redeemed
by this year
Prosecutor Jin Jung
reported back for duty today.
It seems as though
it will be enough.
However, since raising capital
might be an issue going on,
a contingency plan
must be put into place.
An improvement in the finance structure
seems necessary.
What I want to know is this,
Prosecutor Oh.
How did he figure out
that I was involved?
- I'll look into it, sir.
- You'll look into it?
I guess you're right.
We must get the facts straight first.
But
what's the point of looking into it
after it blew up in our faces?
What's the point of doing that now,
you jerk?
Don't forget this.
If this goes wrong,
this might hurt me a bit,
but it will kill you.
I'm the district head prosecutor,
Oh Do Hwan.
Ruining your life is a piece of cake.
You got that?
Is there a reason
the deputy chief's case
must be closed as suicide?
Just like you said,
my life is on the line too.
I believe I have the right
to know why.
Prosecutor Oh Do Hwan.
Don't cross the line.
You just do what I tell you to do
for your own good.
(Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu)
Get out.
Yes, sir.
(District Head Prosecutor's Office)
All right.
Hello, sir.
Where's the other one?
There was
an urgent civil service request.
So he went to take care of that.
Is that the truth?
Pardon?
Yes.
I'm not lying to you or anything.
And it's not like Prosecutor Jin
is doing something else.
Tell him to be careful.
Pardon?
You said he went to take care
of a civil service request.
Tell him to be careful.
This one sounds like
a malicious request.
Okay.
I'll relay that message to him.
All right.
Let's get you off this leash.
Snowball.
Did you have fun on our walk?
There.
It will be difficult to prove
the district head's crimes
just with the recording file.
We need one more piece of evidence.
A solid piece of evidence
that will be admissible in court too.
I'm not sure,
but the district head
We're certain that he's involved
in the deputy chief's case.
We can start from there.
Do you have a plan?
A witness to the case.
- A witness?
- Yes. It's in the back.
In the back? My goodness.
Not them.
There's a document envelope
in the back.
I forgot to get rid of them.
(Autopsy Report)
That's the only card we have left
to catch District Head Kim.
(Anatomy Professor Jung Jae Hoon)
The bruises
around the armpits are
not bruises, but purple spots.
District Head Kim ordered him
to fabricate the autopsy report?
(Gyeongdeung Inn)
(Woo Men's Bathhouse)
It's over there.
The medical examiner often shows up
at that illegal gambling house.
How did you get that intel?
"Social media is a waste of time."
Alex Ferguson.
(Woo Men's Bathhouse)
I won't remind you
what you did was illegal.
You don't have a warrant.
We'll arrest him
for illegal gambling at the scene.
We'll separately find out who's behind
the fabricated autopsy report.
I knew it. You had a plan all along.
It's just that you don't consider
the law in your plan.
The problem is
I'm good at the poker we play here,
but not what they play overseas.
It's like I'm cursed.
I've never once gotten a pair.
To look around the place
and arrest him quietly,
we need to play a few hands.
Do you know how to play poker?
It's different from One-card, right?
You should learn
the poker hands first.
(Woo Men's Bathhouse)
Yes!
That hit the spot.
- Come on.
- Gosh.
I thought this was your first time.
Don't stop me. I'm going
to make enough for my house deposit.
Stop winning money.
You've won so much money.
This isn't why we're here.
Start dealing the cards.
Hurry.
All in.
Seriously. That's the worst hand
I have ever gotten.
A Ra.
A Ra.
A Ra.
- Hey.
- Hey. Stop that
- What was that?
- Come on!
- That jerk!
- What is this?
- Come on.
- No!
- Don't touch it.
- Don't touch it!
Jung Jae Hoon!
Stop running
before you regret it.
(Woo Men's Bathhouse)
This is Prosecutor Shin A Ra
of the Central District Office.
I've been after these guys
for a long time.
Get in.
Get your hands off me!
Come on!
Please arrest
every single one of them.
Let go of me!
(Gyeongdeung Inn)
Okay. Please keep me in the loop.
As for
(Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office)
You know who I am, right?
Why did you fabricate
the autopsy report?
This is your bank account statement
of deposits and withdrawals.
And this is your credit card statement
for the past month.
Your expenses are three times
higher than your paychecks.
Exactly after
the deputy chief's autopsy.
You made it very obvious
that you were paid off.
There's a misunderstanding.
This is my credit card
When you're over your head in debt?
The owner of the gambling house
calls you easy money.
But here's
what I really want to know.
I want to know who ordered you
to fabricate the autopsy report.
It's District Head Kim, right?
We're almost there.
It won't do you any good
if you don't talk.
You fabricated an official document.
The maximum sentence is five years,
and you might as well get that.
I'll help you.
A plea agreement.
It means I'll offer a deal.
If the suspect pleads guilty
or testifies to help
the investigation,
I can lower
or mediate his punishment.
Officially,
we don't have that in Korea yet.
Of course, I can't make
everything go away.
You are guilty,
and you must be punished for it.
But I'll give you my word
for one thing.
I'll demand a reasonable penalty.
(Statement of Facts)
The fabricated autopsy report.
I did it alone.
I made a mistake during the autopsy.
So
I had no choice
but to fabricate the report.
Mr. Jung Jae Hoon.
No one made me do it,
and I have nothing more to say.
We almost had him.
Why did he change his mind?
There must be a reason.
Something we don't know yet.
What's going on?
I'm sure you know him well.
Mr. Jung Jae Hoon who did the autopsy
on Deputy Chief Lee.
Why is he here?
He's here for illegal gambling.
That's it?
Is that all?
Then Prosecutor Oh should take it.
Yes, sir.
This is misfeasance.
Even if you're
the district head prosecutor,
you can't take away
a case under investigation
without a proper reason.
I did an internal investigation
and found out he fabricated
Deputy Chief Lee Jang Won's
autopsy report.
I bet you had no idea about it.
Prosecutor Oh.
It's not a pleasant sight
to see multiple prosecutors
hover over a single suspect.
Give all the investigation data
to Prosecutor Oh.
I guess you do have cold feet.
You came all the way down to
the 4th floor from the 13th floor.
Try to laugh when you can.
You'll hit rock bottom soon.
Okay. Thank you.
They will take the medical examiner
to the detention center right away.
If he gets arrested, it's over.
I don't care
if it's something ridiculous.
Do you have a plan?
He'll be lucky
if he gets arrested only.
They might try to silence him?
That's the quickest
and a certain way
to hide the truth.
Where's the medical examiner?
Mr. Jung Jae Hoon.
It's not too late
to tell me the truth.
- Don't you get it?
- You can't do this. Move, please.
Let me go. This is your last chance.
Do you think they'll let you live?
To them, you're like a bomb.
If you shut up, it's over.
So why would they let you live?
- I told you to let me go.
- Get him in the car now!
I'm the only one who can help you.
You have to cooperate with me.
Jung Jae Hoon!
Hey. Jung Jae Hoon.
(Ministry of Justice)
What's that?
- Go and check what it is.
- Yes, sir.
- Go behind and check.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
Don't move.
Dispatch, this is 111.
Who are you?
What's going on?
It's been a while.
Darn it.
Get up.
- Where are we going?
- Be quiet.
Get in.
Get in the car.
(District Head Prosecutor's Office)
(District Head Prosecutor
Kim Tae Ho)
The medical examiner
got lost in transit.
What?
Get out.
Are you still going to
keep your mouth shut after this?
You could've been killed
if I wasn't there. Do you get it?
Tell me.
Who ordered
the fabricated autopsy report?
Before you two got to me,
someone paid me a visit.
What?
Who?
- What did you just say?
- I told you to take the fall
regarding Lee Jang Won's
autopsy report.
If you're ever arrested
by the prosecution, I mean.
Look here, Mr. Prosecutor.
Relay this to District Head Kim.
It'll be over for him
if I'm arrested,
so it's his job to protect me.
The NIS agent
who committed suicide in 2017.
You got lucky back then
seeing how the fabricated autopsy
ended only as a controversy.
This time around,
you could go down for it.
What is this?
I'm giving you a choice.
Will you be a first offender
or a repeat offender?
Do you want a reduced sentence
or additional years in prison?
Do what you want, then.
It's not like I have anything to lose.
If you're done, I'll get going.
Oh, right.
Give District Head Kim my regards.
Let go.
Mr. Jung.
Let go of me.
Please help me, Mr. Jung.
Do not
make me go through
your wife and son's underwear.
District Head Kim told me
that ruining a life
is a piece of cake.
I agree with that statement.
Don't underestimate
governmental authority.
We can make anyone look guilty.
I don't care about
what happens to me,
but my wife and son are innocent.
Mr. Jung,
I assure you
that we will protect them both.
So tell me.
What am I supposed to do about it?
Please help me.
Rescue me this one time.
Didn't you tell me
not to worry about you?
You're the one who came at me
for stabbing Jin Jung.
Sort out your own mess,
District Head Kim.
I may not say it,
but I'm upset with you.
It was foolish of me.
I won't ever question you again,
so please accept my apology.
(2 unread messages:
Investigator Kang)
Someone must have attacked
Prosecutor Jin.
What?
You didn't know?
(Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu)
Right about now,
they'll be frantically
looking for the medical examiner.
Until he takes the stand in court,
we must protect him at all costs.
Are you sure it's safe here?
Yes, it's run by my parents.
They set it up after retirement.
It's the off-season
and not many people come by
You got here fast.
The country road has us confused,
- but the place wasn't hard to find.
- Good job, guys.
This is absolutely crazy.
Tell me about it.
Still
I guess I admire the teamwork.
Right?
What's with you?
What do you mean?
I'm agreeing with her.
You want the help of my men?
Do you even know where they are?
Sometimes, I wonder
why I have you under my wing.
Tell me what
Shin A Ra's parents do again.
You should stay here
with the medical examiner.
You three
will secure his family
and make sure they're safe.
What about you, Jung?
I should brandish
the sword in my hand.
I'll get going.
(Wangsan Meadows Indoor Fishing)
I found him running surveillance.
He's an investigator
with the Prosecutors' Office.
Mr. Kang Shin Jo?
Did Prosecutor Oh
put you up to this?
(Scumbag District Head Kim)
(Scumbag District Head Kim)
Hey. I was just about to call you.
We should meet.
- You're here.
- That I am.
Have a seat.
I bet you haven't eaten.
He'll have what I'm having.
No, I'm good.
I grabbed a bun on my way over.
I find it hard to stomach food
when I eat with criminals.
What is it that you want?
I doubt you're one to want money
or a position in the office.
Anyway, I'm all ears.
You must come here frequently.
Not really.
I usually invite those
who I'm on the outs with
to build a new relationship.
The night view from here
is extraordinary.
However, I'd like to see the one
from your current office.
Hand over your position,
and we can be good friends.
I'm only joking.
You can carry on eating.
Why spit out high-quality meat?
I'll tell you
what I really want, then.
I ask you this as my boss
at the Prosecutors' Office.
Who is it?
Who's pulling the strings?
It wasn't me.
I wasn't aware of that. I
I had no choice.
That's my answer.
Someone else wanted me dead.
That's what you meant.
You said you had no choice.
Only pawns say that.
"I had no choice."
"I was only following orders."
Our office is the biggest branch
with over 200 prosecutors.
It's known as the center
of prosecution service.
And you're the head of our office.
You're the leader of prosecutors,
District Head Kim.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
I will politely ask you
one last time.
Tell me who's behind you.
Sorry, Prosecutor Jin.
I don't follow you.
Okay.
You're no longer a prosecutor
in my eyes.
Yes, A Ra.
Investigator Lee called me.
He met Mr. Jung's son.
You can just tell me the truth now.
Okay.
Mr. Jung Jae Hoon will testify
and tell us who ordered him
to fabricate the autopsy report.
I'll come back
with a warrant, Mr. Kim.
Enjoy.
Hold on.
Yes.
Our location has been exposed.
Just smash it.
You, go right. You, go that way.
Darn it.
Over there!
Run!
Hurry up.
That way.
I didn't peg you to be
such a reckless guy.
I can be more reckless than this.
I'll fill it in. You just sign it.
(Letter of Resignation)
If you want them to come back alive.
(Letter of Resignation)
Stop! Hold on!
Can you step on it now?
Sir!
There was a time
Prosecutor Shin looked up to you.
Then why did she do it?
This wouldn't have happened
if she continued doing that.
Don't look at me like that.
You guys brought it upon yourselves.
If something happens to her,
I'm going to kill you.
Oh, I'm scared.
Let me give you a piece of advice.
If you can't bite, don't even bark.
Too bad, Prosecutor Jin.
The game is over.
All right.
If someone grabs you like this,
what will you do?
Gosh. I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes. This is nothing.
You're good.
You could even catch a cow.
Hey. Let's try one more time.
- I don't think that's necessary.
- What? One more time.
There's no need.
Hey. Jin Jung!
Come on.
Run!
Get them.
Let go of him.
Darn it.
You're taking too long.
Don't think this is over.
And stay in your office too.
I'll come back for it.
When you bluff too much,
it looks pathetic too.
You won't be a prosecutor for long.
You can't do anything.
(Letter of Resignation)
(Submitter)
Call Prosecutor Jin now!
(Punk Lee Chul Ki)
Where are you?
You're with Kim Tae Ho. Right?
Put him on the phone now!
I'm going to kill that jerk!
Too bad, Mr. Kim.
The game isn't over yet.
Prosecutor Shin has a message for you.
She's going to
No.
You should hear it from her later.
All right.
The letter of resignation.
You should resign first.
Write it meticulously.
You'll be wearing a prison uniform.
You don't want to wear it
as a prosecutor, right?
Keep up the good work.
Gosh, this is fun.
Gosh.
Are you all right?
Yes, I was lucky.
The medical examiner is the problem.
He'll be in danger
if we don't find him soon.
How are we going to find him?
We have no time for this.
Let's go right away.
Pardon?
What are you doing?
Aren't you coming?
Prosecutor Shin.
How are we going to find him?
It's nothing special.
I put my phone in his pocket.
- What are you waiting for? Get in.
- Let's go.
(Real-time location tracking)
Tae Ho.
What brings you here?
Are you a dried squid?
Your attitude is so dry.
Can't I come to see my old work pal?
I'm tired. Just get to the point.
You know Prosecutor Jin got hurt,
right?
Did Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu do it?
Tell Mr. Seo
not to mess with him.
Why? Did you two become close?
Don't do this, Jae Kyung.
Do you want to relive the past?
Don't do anything rash
and just live as you do now.
Jae Kyung.
I still feel sorry
about what happened to your family.
I warned you back then
not to bother Seo Hyun Kyu.
So listen to me this time.
Not for you,
but for the people around you.
Come out.
(Last will and testament)
(I'm sorry, honey.
I love you, my son. Forgive me.)
Okay. Stop right there.
Can you breathe with that mask on?
We've met before,
so why don't you show me your face?
Gosh, you just never listen.
Just so you know, it'll be different
from the last time.
There's no ambush.
And I
What are you doing?
I'm not done talking.
I don't forget my enemy.
Prosecutor Shin.
It'll be okay for us to stay here,
right?
Can you fight?
I'm the brain of the team.
Me too.
We shouldn't go out there
and bother them.
Let's just wait here.
Gosh, you're amazing as expected.
You're so smart.
Since we're in here,
it's like we're watching a movie.
At a drive-in theater.
Quiet.
Eun Ji!
In 1, 2, 3.
Jung Jae Hoon.
Mr. Jung, stay with me!
(Charnel house)
(Late Park Jun Soo)
(Lee Hye Jung, Park Jun Soo)
What's this?
I thought this was gone
a long time ago.
Why do you have this?
I guess you couldn't make a deal
with Mr. Seo Hyun Kyu.
I just showed him my cards.
Now he knows that I have it.
What you told me was right.
"You must kill the monster,"
"not put on a leash and control it."
I'm glad you finally got it.
But why are you giving me this
after all this time?
I'm a stringless kite now
thanks to your subordinate.
I'll be resigning tomorrow.
This is now your riddle to solve.
You teamed up with Kim Tae Ho,
created the Civil Affairs Division,
and shoved me in there
to hang dry.
But now you come up to me
asking me to solve this?
You didn't die in the process,
so take that as a win.
You made it your mission
to get your revenge on Seo Hyun Kyu
for your family.
Be grateful for the outcome.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, the sword
has been passed on to you.
Make good use of it.
(Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu)
(Law Firm Kangsan)
Did Prosecutor Oh
put you up to this?
(Managing Partner Seo Hyun Kyu)
Gosh.
Your swing has gotten much better.
You should see this
analyze your shots.
You have no choice but to improve.
The mood is nice.
You made a good choice moving here.
I've been thinking.
"Jin" isn't a common surname
in Korea.
And it was like
I had met him before.
It's funny
how our fates are entwined.
(Seoul Central District
Prosecutors' Office)
Hold on. You can't barge in here.
It's all right. You may leave.
I don't remember agreeing to meet.
Don't you think this is impolite?
I'm heading out in five.
I have a meeting with
the other district head prosecutors.
Whatever it is, make it quick.
This is Prosecutor Jin.
Please inform
the Prosecutor's Office
that Mr. Kim won't be
at the meeting.
Kim Tae Ho,
you are under arrest
for the concealment of murder,
the ordering of falsified evidence,
blackmail, kidnapping,
and solicitation to commit murder.
What?
Jung Jae Hoon.
Mr. Jung, stay with me!
Are they gone?
Yes, they're gone.
Gosh.
You may have been unharmed
this time around,
but you might not get lucky again.
Eat and sleep in that vest.
Anyone who stabs him would know.
Let's add one minor detail.
This will fool anyone, right?
Give me five, A Ra.
Gosh.
Seems real, doesn't it?
Can I stab you to be sure?
Who knew you were such a good actor?
You're okay, so get up.
Stop faking your death.
Darn, I'm exhausted.
What did I tell you?
I said you were done for.
Ripped and resynced by YoungJedi
(Bad Prosecutor)
I did what was necessary
to protect the organization.
I'll prove to you how wrong you were
to believe in that.
Don't you know where you are?
This is the Inspection Department
of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.
Your name was on the list
of those who purchased drugs.
I know nothing about it.
Why would you do
something that insane?
- That's true.
- Your bosses
must not be fond of you.
Bow and apologize, why don't you?
Are you saying
it was my blood on the shoes?
Blood-type B positive.
You almost died, you punk!
Just listen for once in your life.
This is for your own good.
Turning a blind eye isn't how I roll.
