Sketch (2018) s01e09 Episode Script
Episode 9
1
(All characters, organizations, places, and happenings)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
You can't disappear like this.
You still have more to tell us.
More to tell you?
I believe that you don't take promises lightly.
Who's the mastermind behind Jang Tae Joon? Tell me.
The mastermind behind Jang Tae Joon
I don't know who it is either.
Mr. Baek.
It is unfortunate,
but I can't say that I know what I don't know.
You said Jang Tae Joon can't foresee the future. Was that a lie too?
No. That is true.
Jang Tae Joon doesn't have such powers.
But you don't know who the real clairvoyant is?
That's right.
It was a proverb about a mantis trying to catch a cicada.
Do you know what that proverb exactly means?
But there's a way to find out who the mastermind is.
There's a notebook Jang Tae Joon always carries with him.
It's where he records all the orders he receives from the mastermind.
It was the notebook that showed me he can't foresee the future.
If you get your hands on the notebook,
you'll be able to find out who's behind him.
You've already fooled us once.
Why should we trust you?
Whether you trust me or not, it's up to you guys.
I just wanted to tell you everything I know.
The ball is in your court now.
You can decide what you want to do with the ball.
Thank you
for doing your best for my wife
and being considerate to make sure she can die in peace.
I really mean it.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Beak!
(Episode 9)
That day will come very soon.
You'll be appointed as the chief prosecutor.
Become the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office,
and you'll be the public prosecutor general in no time.
You'll have to make the biggest contribution
to making that happen.
It's about time for you to have some fun in the big game.
I don't have such big ambitions.
However,
I'd love to sit on the shoulders of giants and see a bigger world.
That will be enough for me.
(Bumyoung Printing)
Chief Jang's notebook
Do you think it's true?
Baek Woo Jin has no reason to lie in this situation.
Then the question is
where is Jang Tae Joon keeping his notebook.
Do you think it's something he carries with him all the time?
I'm not sure.
Wouldn't that be too risky?
If he loses it, he'll be in big trouble.
But he couldn't have hidden it somewhere far.
He has to write down the orders as soon as he gets them.
A spot that he considers the safest
and where he can access anytime.
One place comes to mind.
Jang Tae Joon's office.
Captain Moon, what should we do?
If what Baek Woo Jin told you is true,
Chief Jang is definitely committing a crime right now.
He obviously thinks that he's above the law,
and we shouldn't let it slide.
Let's get moving. We don't have time.
No, no.
I'll handle this by myself.
Searching a high-ranking officer's office without a warrant
must not be taken lightly.
If it goes wrong, it may
significantly damage your careers.
But Captain Moon, this is
I'll retire soon,
but your careers have just begun.
Just do as I say this time.
You do have a point, Captain.
These two ladies with bright futures can stay here.
Let me go with you, Captain.
You know why I decided to join this team.
And it's been a while since I stopped caring about my career.
I'll go with you too.
Just stay here, will you?
Someone is using his or her clairvoyant powers to hurt others.
I can't sit here and do nothing when I know about it.
Oh, gosh.
Wait. Stop.
Stop, all of you.
You guys can't just leave me behind.
I have no problem with leaving the force because I'm in high demand.
I'm in too.
Captain, what should we do?
Fine. All right, then. What should we start with?
You'll need it soon.
You may forget your mistake,
but never forget the lesson you learned from your mistake.
Got it, sir.
Where can I go to find Baek Woo Jin?
You don't need to find him.
Just wait, and he'll come find you.
(Please teach me how I can pray for my dear husband.)
Gosh. Watch where you're going, okay?
All right.
Oh, wait.
Hey, hold on a second.
I thought you looked familiar.
You're those guys from the park the other day.
You remember me, right?
- Let go! - Don't move!
- Stay still. - Let go of me!
No hard feelings, okay?
We were just doing our duties, so please understand.
You knocked me down out of nowhere. What? You were doing your duties?
What do you say? Shall I go ahead and do my duties too?
Hey, don't you know who we are?
I know, of course. You're in Internal Affairs.
You guys are above all police officers in the country.
Right, so don't cross the line, okay? If you keep bothering us
Then what? What if I keep bothering you? What will you do?
Will you dig up dirt on me and make me give up
my police badge if you find anything?
Gosh, you rats.
What? What did you just say?
I called you rats.
You chase your fellow officers around to see if you can
dig up any dirt on them.
You punk.
Did you see? You all saw that, right?
I was acting in self-defense. There's a CCTV camera right there.
What is it? Are you guys not excited because it's just me?
- Then I'll call my guys too. - What's going on?
Thank you for calling our restaurant.
Hey, Gyung Tae. I'm at the cafeteria now.
I've gotten into a fight with the guys in Internal Affairs.
Yes, bring everyone here.
I think you got the wrong number. This is a Chinese restaurant.
Okay, I heard you. Bring all of them, okay?
Yes, all right.
What? What's your problem?
Hello?
What?
Okay, I'll be there shortly.
There's a problem at the cafeteria.
What problem? What's going on?
Remember the crazy guy in Violent Crimes? Kang Dong Soo or whatever.
He and Officer Park got into a fight,
and that jerk told everyone in Violent Crimes to join him.
Gosh, those punks
What are you guys doing? Let's go.
All of us, sir?
You heard that everyone in Violent Crimes is coming.
You know how people say that our teamwork is bad.
They'll look down on us if we don't teach them a lesson this time.
All right. Let's go, everyone.
(Internal Affairs, Chief Jang Tae Joon)
(Mr. Park is going to fight against that lunatic?)
(Yes, we're on our way to the cafeteria.)
(I'm bringing everyone with me.)
(Chief of Internal Affairs, Jang Tae Joon)
- Yes, sir. - Where are you?
Do you remember Kang Dong Soo?
Mr. Park must've gotten into a fight with him at the cafeteria.
So we're on our way over there.
- Go back to the office right now. - Pardon?
Something doesn't feel right.
Return to the office right now.
- Follow me. - Pardon?
- Follow me. - Okay.
(Internal Affairs, Chief Jang Tae Joon)
(Internal Affairs)
What are you doing here?
I came to meet Chief Jang.
But there was no one in the office,
so I couldn't ask anyone for help.
I went inside to see if he was in his office.
I need to check your bag.
You don't have any right to check my
Hey.
Can you hold your arms up?
Are you going to search my body now?
You better do as we ask.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
You accused an innocent person.
The least you could is do apologize.
I'm sorry.
Can I have my bag back?
(An Tae Young, 43 years old)
(Victim: Lee Soo Young, Victim's husband: Kim Do Jin)
Hey, Si Hyun.
I got the notebook.
Great.
Where are you right now?
I'm in the back street of the National Police Agency.
Yes. No.
My gosh.
Hand me that notebook.
Hello? Lieutenant Oh.
Lieutenant Oh?
What's wrong?
It doesn't seem like she hung up.
Just a second.
Hello? Lieutenant Oh?
Can't you hear me? Lieutenant Oh.
Give me the phone.
Hello?
Hey, Detective Kang. It's me, Baek Woo Jin.
Thank you for helping me find the notebook.
What are you planning to do with that?
I'm sure you already know that Jang Tae Joon
and the guy behind him are punishing future criminals.
But that's not all.
They're also after something else.
What do you mean? What are they after?
Jang Tae Joon and the guy working behind him
both work for a man they call "The Elder".
"The Elder"?
Who is that?
I'm taking this notebook to find out who that is.
Where are you?
Let's meet up.
We're after the same thing.
So we'll be able to help each other out.
You can only
act within the legal boundaries.
I need to handle this my own way.
No. This is the only possible method.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Baek.
Stay away.
Don't come near me.
This is my last warning.
Give me the notebook.
Hey, I'm a cop.
Why would I listen to a criminal?
Wait.
Okay, fine.
I'll give it to you, okay?
Don't hit me.
I have sensitive skin.
I'll give it to you.
Where did I put it?
Detective Kang. Over there.
My gosh. Lieutenant Oh, wake up.
Move over.
Lieutenant Oh.
Lieutenant Oh.
Hello?
It's me.
I figured it was time for you to call.
You still talk as if you're capable of predicting the future.
You and I still have some unsolved matters between us,
so it's quite predictable.
I'll get straight to the point.
I have your notebook.
What do you think will happen
if Detective Kang and his team members get a hold of this?
The fact that you didn't give it to them
means you have something you want from me.
What do you want?
I'll meet you at Seonyudo Park in an hour.
Oh, right.
If you want your notebook back,
you better not bring Kim Do Jin along.
- It's me. - What do you need?
I just got a call from Baek Woo Jin.
He wants me to meet him at Seonyudo Park in an hour.
We don't know when he might show up,
so I want you to get there first and be on standby.
Okay.
I thought we were supposed to meet in an hour.
Then Kim Do Jin won't interfere.
Okay. Let's catch up slowly later.
Let's go.
Where to?
Somewhere we can talk. You know where.
Excuse me. Please help.
She'll be okay, right?
It's my fault.
Mr. Baek's wife died because of Jang Tae Joon.
I should've predicted that Baek Woo Jin would take revenge.
No one from our team thought that far.
If that was a mistake,
it wasn't yours, but the entire team's.
If the sketch comes true, Baek Woo Jin kills Jang Tae Joon.
Then X, the person behind Jang Tae Joon, may hide forever.
The sketch doesn't show Jang Tae Joon's death,
but only that Baek Woo Jin will hold a gun to him.
In other words, we still have a chance.
Do you still expect us to have a chance?
I don't expect it. I believe it.
What's with this mood?
Are you flirting next to an injured person?
Are you okay?
Please help me up.
My head.
Si Hyun, show me the sketch.
- What? - I think I know
what the fourth sketch is of.
So? What do you want from me?
If you were planning to kill me, you would've done it by now.
You're keeping me alive because you want something.
Just concentrate on driving.
(Hanmokwool Church)
On the side of the bible that Baek Woo Jin had,
it said, "Hanmokwool."
Hanmokwool Church?
Yes. Here it is.
(Hanmokwool Church)
It was a small church outside of town,
and it closed five years ago for financial reasons.
What does this church have to do with the fourth sketch?
What do you think?
(Mokwool Church)
(Mokwool Chu)
What's the address?
(Hanmokwool Church)
(Bumyoung Printing)
Captain. I think we've figured out the location of the last sketch.
(Bumyoung Printing)
This is the location that you chose?
What could be a better location
to finish our relationship?
I don't know what it is that you want,
but you won't get anything from me.
What are you trying to pull?
It's a simple game.
It'll demonstrate what runs out first,
your loyalty or your luck.
Who is the person behind you?
I'll ask again. Who is behind you?
You're still lucky. For now.
Fine. Let's take this all the way.
If I die, you will never find out who is behind me.
His identity must be in this journal.
It may take more time and effort,
but I'll find him eventually.
Then why are you doing this?
Because you are not immortal, and are human like me.
A human, willing to do anything to survive.
You want to test me?
No. I want to destroy you.
I'll destroy everything you believed was right, all your actions,
and your loyalty towards that person.
Wait.
I need time.
Give me time to think.
10 minutes will be enough.
I'll give you exactly 10 minutes.
That's the last bit of respect I will show you.
- 10 minutes have passed. - Wait.
Wait. Give me a little more time.
This isn't like you, to stall for time like this.
Yes, it may not be like me.
However,
there is a reason for stalling time.
Do you think I will die if you pull the trigger?
Baek Woo Jin!
Freeze.
Oh, dear. Now you've lost your chance to pull the trigger.
Baek Woo Jin.
Put the gun down right now.
I told you.
I won't die here.
Sadly, I won't die here. You will.
Baek Woo Jin! Put down the gun!
Sure.
I may die here.
But even if I die here, I'll take you with me.
Baek Woo Jin. If you kill him now,
the person behind him will hide forever.
Then Jang Tae Joon's replacement
will continue doing the same.
So
please put the gun down.
Please.
Don't make me kill you.
Do you think I'm afraid of dying?
Detective Kang, you could never understand
what it feels like to lose the person you love.
My fiancee was murdered.
By Kim Do Jin working for Jang Tae Joon.
Should I be completely honest?
I don't want to stop you. No! I want to lodge a bullet
into his brain myself!
But that won't change anything.
Think not about
what you want to do, but what you must do
for your wife.
Honey.
You're my one and only love in this
entire world.
That's
(Teach me how to pray for my husband.)
The only thing that matters to me.
Give me the journal.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Baek!
Was it you?
Oriana
Fallaci.
Oriana
Fallaci.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Baek!
Are you the person behind Kim Do Jin?
I don't know what you mean.
Detective Kang.
Don't you think you've come too far
to just deny it?
And if it is?
Will you kill me right here?
Is there any reason I need to keep you alive?
Even if you die here,
I have the journal.
I'll uncover everything, from beginning to end.
I knew Woo Jin
would bring me here.
Do you think I didn't know he'd be after
my journal?
That journal
is a fake that I made to lure Woo Jin.
None of the important information is in there.
Naturally,
it isn't in my handwriting either.
You people can never catch me.
You must know why.
But I'll give you a word of advice,
for your efforts of coming here.
Whatever you plan to do, don't do it.
If you come at me carelessly,
you'll end up like that guy on the floor.
Go ahead and do
whatever you want.
Just remember this.
I will
catch you.
I'll catch you and make you pay for your sins.
And tell the rat behind you
that I'll make him pay
for killing Ji Soo.
Tell me the reason.
The Jang Tae Joon that I know
despised injustice more than anyone I knew.
Tell me why you are doing this.
The same reason as yours.
Because I believe this path that I'm taking is right.
You did well, holding back.
Oriana Fallaci.
Detective Baek and his wife
had no family.
They only had
each other.
Once the administrative matters are finished,
I'd like to hold a small funeral for them.
I compared the instructions in the journal
and incidents that happened during those times,
and none of them
match any real cases or victims.
We have to assume this is a fake, just as Jang Tae Joon said.
And Oriana Fallaci.
Oriana Fallaci
was an Italian journalist and an author.
The greatest journalist of the 20th century.
She's a legendary journalist.
So? What is Baek Woo Jin's connection
to this legendary journalist?
Connection?
None, of course.
She never even came to Korea.
But it was Baek Woo Jin's dying words.
It can't be meaningless.
(Oriana Fallaci)
Detective Kang, do you have a few minutes?
Thanks, but let's just say you said it.
What are you thanking me for, and what am I about to say?
Given the timing,
you probably want to give me some warm words of comfort.
Let's just pretend you said it.
Comfort? Whatever.
Don't get ahead of yourself,
and have a drink with a colleague.
What?
You don't like the food?
This is the hot spot in this area.
Well If we're only going to get buzzed,
I'd rather not drink at all.
Mike Tyson said
that everyone has a decent plan
until I beat them up.
Don't run away halfway.
Give it to me.
Okay.
What?
You said earlier
to do what you must do, not what you want to do.
Think not about
what you want to do, but what you must do
for your wife.
Do you really think that,
or did you only say that
to stop Detective Baek?
We're to drink, so just drink.
Don't conduct some survey.
True. What could you possibly know about alcohol?
You need to have tasted the bitterness of life
to appreciate the bitterness of alcohol.
Do you have any idea
how cruddy it is to draw someone else's death?
What What are you doing?
See this? Do you see this scar?
Hey. Do you know how I got it? I was sliced
from my abdomen to my back when I investigated the Yakuza.
I was in surgery for seven hours.
I was in the ICU for two weeks.
I just
My gosh. This is what you call pain. It's the true definition of a scar.
You don't even know anything, you little kid.
Detective Kang, I stayed home for two years
after I graduated middle school.
I was scared that
I might start sketching people's deaths if I went outside.
I may be laughing now.
But back then, I constantly thought about dying
and cutting my hand off my wrist.
Forget it. You can't even relate to any of the stuff I'm saying.
You're a guy who brags about having been hospitalized for a few days.
When I was in high school I can't believe I'm telling you this.
Back then, I was so popular that I even had trouble going home.
Really?
When I was in middle school, I also got asked out by a girl.
I was the president of my year back when I was in elementary school.
You really need to be popular to be voted for president.
When I was in kindergarten, someone offered me a job as a child actress.
He couldn't believe how cute I looked.
What a bunch of nonsense.
Hey, why don't you just give up now?
I can clearly see that you're drunk.
You're the one who's obviously trying hard not to lose it.
My gosh.
Are you serious? Fine, let's keep going.
- Come here. - I'm more than willing.
I'm just worried that you might give up in the middle.
What are you doing? Finish your shot.
Come on. Are you giving up?
- What are you going to do? - How far do you think
Baek Woo Jin has gone?
At least
he can be with the person he loves.
Right?
Yes.
Corporal Yoo.
You're a heavy drinker. You seriously are.
I'll give you that.
Gosh.
I admit that you're good.
What?
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang.
My gosh, are you already done? We didn't even get started yet.
Hey, Kang Dong Soo.
Are you sleeping?
You're no match for me. Don't ever try to fight against me.
I'm pretty sure you think you're achieving justice.
I felt the same way.
You should remember how I look right now.
This is how you'll end up in the future.
(Chief Jang Tae Joon)
I caught you in the act.
Look at you. My gosh.
You didn't go home last night, did you?
I had some drinks nearby,
and I slept at the office because I drank a lot.
Is everything okay?
Why are you worried? You know how much I can drink.
Exactly.
I'm worried about the person who drank with you, not you.
Is that person still alive?
I don't know.
Let's gather together for a briefing once Detective Kang gets here.
Okay.
Hey.
Detective Kang.
- Are you okay? You were - Corporal Yoo, you little
Never talk about what happened over some drinks.
That's common sense. You know that, right?
Why? Did something happen yesterday?
I guess you can't remember since you passed out.
Are you laughing?
Don't laugh. Just don't.
Okay.
Everyone, I want you to focus on the screen.
Baek Woo Jin used Baek Chun Soo as his fake identity.
He actually used the name of a homeless man.
He even paid taxes and made bank accounts under that name.
And here are Baek Chun Soo's financial transactions.
As you can already see, Baek Woo Jin's been
donating money every month to an organization named
"Hope and Love" for the past two years.
- "Hope and Love"? - Yes.
It's for those who have lost their families due to a crime.
The organization sends necessities to the victims' families
or helps them out by giving them scholarships.
A guy who used to punish future criminals
sent money to an organization that helps victims' families?
Right? It just doesn't make sense.
I looked more closely into it because it didn't make any sense.
And it turns out that Baek Woo Jin has been sending money
to a certain person, not the organization itself.
Who was he sending the money to?
It's someone named An Mi Sook.
Her husband died three years ago.
His name is Oh Chang Soo.
He was the director of Political Affairs at Hansung Daily.
"Hansung Daily?"
What's wrong? Do you know him?
No, I don't.
But my dad used to be a reporter at Hansung Daily before he passed away.
Anyway, when his wife came home, he had already
been murdered by someone.
And the culprit never got caught.
Are you saying
he's been sending money to the wife of the guy he killed?
But this guy isn't the type that Baek Woo Jin would aim as a target.
- What do you mean? - Do you remember
all the profiles of the guys that Baek Woo Jin murdered?
- Yes. - Well, compare them to him.
He's never committed a crime, and he's not the type to do so.
This just doesn't make sense.
That means Baek Woo Jin knew that he was an innocent man.
That's why he kept sending her money.
It's the least he could do to repent on what he did.
(Personal Details Report)
I think Mr. Park will get promoted.
The one who's been waiting the longest should get promoted.
I personally think Mr. Nam will get promoted.
My gosh, you really don't know anything.
Everyone in our department already thinks
that Mr. Park is going to get promoted.
Hey, do you still not know how persistent Mr. Nam can be?
That man is incredibly Why?
Hello?
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
Koreans should always eat well.
Come on. Let's eat.
Try some. The soup here tastes amazing.
The ambiance doesn't seem so friendly.
The promotion for district attorney is coming up soon.
Everyone's probably lost in their thoughts.
You talk as if it has nothing to do with you.
You're one of the very strong candidates.
Well, I do want the position.
But being greedy doesn't change anything.
If I'm given the opportunity, I'll just do my best.
- That's how it is, you know. - Then it'll be
between you and Mr. Nam Jung Yeon.
Wouldn't it be one of you two?
Well, I guess so.
But considering the seniority and experience level,
I think it'll be hard.
I don't want to hear people saying I'm trying to stab
a senior colleague in the back.
I shouldn't be saying these things to you.
Just forget what you heard.
This isn't a pleasant topic to bring up over lunch,
but I asked you to meet up with me today because of
Kang Do Sik.
That jerk has been selected
as one of the model inmates for early release.
I thought you should know.
(Director of Hansung Daily's Political Desk, Oh Chang Soo's home)
I'm sorry we're reminding you of the painful memories.
No, it's okay. I'd like to do everything
in my power to help you.
May we ask you
what kind of story he was working on before he passed away?
I don't know.
He never talked about work at home.
Then if there are any notes or documents from that time
The police took everything immediately after the incident.
I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
No, it's okay.
Actually,
I remember overhearing his phone conversation with someone.
It was a few days before the incident.
- Who was he talking to? - I just overheard him
talking about "The Elder".
Could you please tell us more details?
I don't remember anything else.
I just remember him saying something about "The Elder"
and thinking it was strange.
That name is all I remember.
If you don't mind,
could we please take a look around his room?
Take your time.
- Thank you. - No problem.
It's not like he was going to commit a crime.
Why do you think Baek Woo Jin killed him?
That question is wrong.
What we should be asking is
Why did Jang Tae Joon
order Baek Woo Jin to kill this man? That's the real question.
Let me put it more accurately. Why did X
order Jang Tae Joon to kill this man?
("Oriana Fallaci")
"Oriana Fallaci".
"The powerful people that I've met"
"weren't any more cultured, knowledgeable,"
"or moral than us normal people."
"The only thing they had in common was their immense greed"
"and their boundless ruthlessness, which lets them actualize it."
What is it?
This is
(Yoo Jin Gyu)
This is
This is my dad's notebook.
What?
(Does the Elder really exist?)
(The Elder, Under Japanese rule)
How is this possible?
(Bumyoung Printing)
("To me, you will be unique in all the world.")
"To me, you will be unique in all the world."
"To you, I shall be unique in all the world."
This sounds familiar for some reason.
It's from "The Little Prince".
My dad used to read it to me often when I was little.
Si Joon.
Dad's notebook?
What do you mean?
Reporter Oh Chang Soo?
Do you know him?
He was Dad's close friend.
He came over to our place a few times.
Right, you were too young back then. You probably don't remember.
Is this Dad's notebook you found
at Mr. Oh's place?
Yes.
It looks like Dad was covering a story about someone
called the Elder back in 1998 just before he passed away.
According to Dad's notes,
that man was the only heir to Yuseong Merchants,
the biggest merchants organization
in Gyeonggi Province back when Korea was under Japanese rule.
Apparently, he was able to gather enormous wealth from the end
of the Japanese rule and through the Korean War.
Then under the military dictatorship, he joined hands
with high-ranking officials
and even obtained the power to influence
the government's economic policies.
There have been multiple regime changes since then,
but his influence already infiltrated the underground economy,
and it only kept growing.
He never reveals himself in public,
but apparently, he's still extremely influential to this day.
The man called the Elder in that notebook
Don't you think it's a bit too exaggerated for it to be believable?
First off, he'd be at least 80 now if he were
actually born under the Japanese rule.
My goodness.
I'm baffled.
It's a conspiracy theory that you'd only see in movies. You guys
don't actually believe it, do you?
Our dad was a competent reporter. He wouldn't have been after
some groundless conspiracy theory.
The fact that he did all this work
means there's definitely something.
- Si Joon. - What's in the cassette tape?
Mr. Yoo, you're the first reporter
that dug this deep.
To tell you the truth, I'm impressed.
I'm sure you're not here to just flatter me like this.
You should stop now.
If you dig deeper, you'll get hurt.
Do you visit every single person and threaten them
in person like this?
No, you're a special case.
Please join hands with us.
With your abilities,
we'll be able to achieve great things together.
For the people of this country to live better lives,
we must enlarge the pie first.
And in order to do that,
we must focus on growing our strength.
That's what we do.
The people of this country?
Let's be honest. Citizens don't matter to you people.
What you folks need is
hardworking and obedient subjects.
Aren't I right?
Mr. Yoo.
If you refuse a glass of drink you're offered,
a punishment will follow.
You must be fully aware of the fact that the Elder
is more than capable of doing that.
The one thing I know for certain
is the fact that nothing can hide the truth.
That's too bad.
It's really too bad.
I thought Dad was killed by a robber. Was he not?
If there's something we don't know about our parents' deaths,
I'll be sure to find out the truth. I promise you.
You trust me, right?
Let's go in.
Si Hyun.
I think it's starting again.
Do you know the man in the sketch?
He's Park Moon Gi, a prosecutor at Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.
Mr. Yoo. Is this man
Yes, it's him.
Kang Do Sik. The murder
who killed our parents 20 years ago.
This is a lot more serious than I thought.
Do you know what that cross mark in the fourth sketch is?
The gun that he's holding is a sniper rifle.
Then that cross mark is
Is that the scope?
Is there a reason why Kang Do Sik would go after Park Moon Gi?
Mr. Park Moon Gi arrested Kang Do Sik
20 years ago.
You're saying Kang Do Sik is going to shoot Mr. Park.
But that makes no sense.
He's in prison right now.
How could someone in prison come out and commit murder?
Si Hyun, the thing is I didn't tell you because it would upset you,
but his sentence was shortened for good behavior,
so he's being released.
When is it?
- Si Hyun. - When is it?
It was three days ago.
(Sketch)
Let me scope out the area.
Kang Do Sik may come here.
Things are going well, right?
No one will hinder your path to becoming the chief prosecutor.
Kang Do Sik? I'm Yoo Si Joon,
a prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
Let's trade Yoo Jin Gyu's journal for Yoo Si Joon.
Explain what's going on.
My brother doesn't have much time.
Killing me won't take away your pain.
Because the true root of your pain is yourself.
Watch what you're saying!
(All characters, organizations, places, and happenings)
(in this drama are all fake and are not based on a true story.)
You can't disappear like this.
You still have more to tell us.
More to tell you?
I believe that you don't take promises lightly.
Who's the mastermind behind Jang Tae Joon? Tell me.
The mastermind behind Jang Tae Joon
I don't know who it is either.
Mr. Baek.
It is unfortunate,
but I can't say that I know what I don't know.
You said Jang Tae Joon can't foresee the future. Was that a lie too?
No. That is true.
Jang Tae Joon doesn't have such powers.
But you don't know who the real clairvoyant is?
That's right.
It was a proverb about a mantis trying to catch a cicada.
Do you know what that proverb exactly means?
But there's a way to find out who the mastermind is.
There's a notebook Jang Tae Joon always carries with him.
It's where he records all the orders he receives from the mastermind.
It was the notebook that showed me he can't foresee the future.
If you get your hands on the notebook,
you'll be able to find out who's behind him.
You've already fooled us once.
Why should we trust you?
Whether you trust me or not, it's up to you guys.
I just wanted to tell you everything I know.
The ball is in your court now.
You can decide what you want to do with the ball.
Thank you
for doing your best for my wife
and being considerate to make sure she can die in peace.
I really mean it.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Beak!
(Episode 9)
That day will come very soon.
You'll be appointed as the chief prosecutor.
Become the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office,
and you'll be the public prosecutor general in no time.
You'll have to make the biggest contribution
to making that happen.
It's about time for you to have some fun in the big game.
I don't have such big ambitions.
However,
I'd love to sit on the shoulders of giants and see a bigger world.
That will be enough for me.
(Bumyoung Printing)
Chief Jang's notebook
Do you think it's true?
Baek Woo Jin has no reason to lie in this situation.
Then the question is
where is Jang Tae Joon keeping his notebook.
Do you think it's something he carries with him all the time?
I'm not sure.
Wouldn't that be too risky?
If he loses it, he'll be in big trouble.
But he couldn't have hidden it somewhere far.
He has to write down the orders as soon as he gets them.
A spot that he considers the safest
and where he can access anytime.
One place comes to mind.
Jang Tae Joon's office.
Captain Moon, what should we do?
If what Baek Woo Jin told you is true,
Chief Jang is definitely committing a crime right now.
He obviously thinks that he's above the law,
and we shouldn't let it slide.
Let's get moving. We don't have time.
No, no.
I'll handle this by myself.
Searching a high-ranking officer's office without a warrant
must not be taken lightly.
If it goes wrong, it may
significantly damage your careers.
But Captain Moon, this is
I'll retire soon,
but your careers have just begun.
Just do as I say this time.
You do have a point, Captain.
These two ladies with bright futures can stay here.
Let me go with you, Captain.
You know why I decided to join this team.
And it's been a while since I stopped caring about my career.
I'll go with you too.
Just stay here, will you?
Someone is using his or her clairvoyant powers to hurt others.
I can't sit here and do nothing when I know about it.
Oh, gosh.
Wait. Stop.
Stop, all of you.
You guys can't just leave me behind.
I have no problem with leaving the force because I'm in high demand.
I'm in too.
Captain, what should we do?
Fine. All right, then. What should we start with?
You'll need it soon.
You may forget your mistake,
but never forget the lesson you learned from your mistake.
Got it, sir.
Where can I go to find Baek Woo Jin?
You don't need to find him.
Just wait, and he'll come find you.
(Please teach me how I can pray for my dear husband.)
Gosh. Watch where you're going, okay?
All right.
Oh, wait.
Hey, hold on a second.
I thought you looked familiar.
You're those guys from the park the other day.
You remember me, right?
- Let go! - Don't move!
- Stay still. - Let go of me!
No hard feelings, okay?
We were just doing our duties, so please understand.
You knocked me down out of nowhere. What? You were doing your duties?
What do you say? Shall I go ahead and do my duties too?
Hey, don't you know who we are?
I know, of course. You're in Internal Affairs.
You guys are above all police officers in the country.
Right, so don't cross the line, okay? If you keep bothering us
Then what? What if I keep bothering you? What will you do?
Will you dig up dirt on me and make me give up
my police badge if you find anything?
Gosh, you rats.
What? What did you just say?
I called you rats.
You chase your fellow officers around to see if you can
dig up any dirt on them.
You punk.
Did you see? You all saw that, right?
I was acting in self-defense. There's a CCTV camera right there.
What is it? Are you guys not excited because it's just me?
- Then I'll call my guys too. - What's going on?
Thank you for calling our restaurant.
Hey, Gyung Tae. I'm at the cafeteria now.
I've gotten into a fight with the guys in Internal Affairs.
Yes, bring everyone here.
I think you got the wrong number. This is a Chinese restaurant.
Okay, I heard you. Bring all of them, okay?
Yes, all right.
What? What's your problem?
Hello?
What?
Okay, I'll be there shortly.
There's a problem at the cafeteria.
What problem? What's going on?
Remember the crazy guy in Violent Crimes? Kang Dong Soo or whatever.
He and Officer Park got into a fight,
and that jerk told everyone in Violent Crimes to join him.
Gosh, those punks
What are you guys doing? Let's go.
All of us, sir?
You heard that everyone in Violent Crimes is coming.
You know how people say that our teamwork is bad.
They'll look down on us if we don't teach them a lesson this time.
All right. Let's go, everyone.
(Internal Affairs, Chief Jang Tae Joon)
(Mr. Park is going to fight against that lunatic?)
(Yes, we're on our way to the cafeteria.)
(I'm bringing everyone with me.)
(Chief of Internal Affairs, Jang Tae Joon)
- Yes, sir. - Where are you?
Do you remember Kang Dong Soo?
Mr. Park must've gotten into a fight with him at the cafeteria.
So we're on our way over there.
- Go back to the office right now. - Pardon?
Something doesn't feel right.
Return to the office right now.
- Follow me. - Pardon?
- Follow me. - Okay.
(Internal Affairs, Chief Jang Tae Joon)
(Internal Affairs)
What are you doing here?
I came to meet Chief Jang.
But there was no one in the office,
so I couldn't ask anyone for help.
I went inside to see if he was in his office.
I need to check your bag.
You don't have any right to check my
Hey.
Can you hold your arms up?
Are you going to search my body now?
You better do as we ask.
Don't you have anything to say to me?
You accused an innocent person.
The least you could is do apologize.
I'm sorry.
Can I have my bag back?
(An Tae Young, 43 years old)
(Victim: Lee Soo Young, Victim's husband: Kim Do Jin)
Hey, Si Hyun.
I got the notebook.
Great.
Where are you right now?
I'm in the back street of the National Police Agency.
Yes. No.
My gosh.
Hand me that notebook.
Hello? Lieutenant Oh.
Lieutenant Oh?
What's wrong?
It doesn't seem like she hung up.
Just a second.
Hello? Lieutenant Oh?
Can't you hear me? Lieutenant Oh.
Give me the phone.
Hello?
Hey, Detective Kang. It's me, Baek Woo Jin.
Thank you for helping me find the notebook.
What are you planning to do with that?
I'm sure you already know that Jang Tae Joon
and the guy behind him are punishing future criminals.
But that's not all.
They're also after something else.
What do you mean? What are they after?
Jang Tae Joon and the guy working behind him
both work for a man they call "The Elder".
"The Elder"?
Who is that?
I'm taking this notebook to find out who that is.
Where are you?
Let's meet up.
We're after the same thing.
So we'll be able to help each other out.
You can only
act within the legal boundaries.
I need to handle this my own way.
No. This is the only possible method.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Baek.
Stay away.
Don't come near me.
This is my last warning.
Give me the notebook.
Hey, I'm a cop.
Why would I listen to a criminal?
Wait.
Okay, fine.
I'll give it to you, okay?
Don't hit me.
I have sensitive skin.
I'll give it to you.
Where did I put it?
Detective Kang. Over there.
My gosh. Lieutenant Oh, wake up.
Move over.
Lieutenant Oh.
Lieutenant Oh.
Hello?
It's me.
I figured it was time for you to call.
You still talk as if you're capable of predicting the future.
You and I still have some unsolved matters between us,
so it's quite predictable.
I'll get straight to the point.
I have your notebook.
What do you think will happen
if Detective Kang and his team members get a hold of this?
The fact that you didn't give it to them
means you have something you want from me.
What do you want?
I'll meet you at Seonyudo Park in an hour.
Oh, right.
If you want your notebook back,
you better not bring Kim Do Jin along.
- It's me. - What do you need?
I just got a call from Baek Woo Jin.
He wants me to meet him at Seonyudo Park in an hour.
We don't know when he might show up,
so I want you to get there first and be on standby.
Okay.
I thought we were supposed to meet in an hour.
Then Kim Do Jin won't interfere.
Okay. Let's catch up slowly later.
Let's go.
Where to?
Somewhere we can talk. You know where.
Excuse me. Please help.
She'll be okay, right?
It's my fault.
Mr. Baek's wife died because of Jang Tae Joon.
I should've predicted that Baek Woo Jin would take revenge.
No one from our team thought that far.
If that was a mistake,
it wasn't yours, but the entire team's.
If the sketch comes true, Baek Woo Jin kills Jang Tae Joon.
Then X, the person behind Jang Tae Joon, may hide forever.
The sketch doesn't show Jang Tae Joon's death,
but only that Baek Woo Jin will hold a gun to him.
In other words, we still have a chance.
Do you still expect us to have a chance?
I don't expect it. I believe it.
What's with this mood?
Are you flirting next to an injured person?
Are you okay?
Please help me up.
My head.
Si Hyun, show me the sketch.
- What? - I think I know
what the fourth sketch is of.
So? What do you want from me?
If you were planning to kill me, you would've done it by now.
You're keeping me alive because you want something.
Just concentrate on driving.
(Hanmokwool Church)
On the side of the bible that Baek Woo Jin had,
it said, "Hanmokwool."
Hanmokwool Church?
Yes. Here it is.
(Hanmokwool Church)
It was a small church outside of town,
and it closed five years ago for financial reasons.
What does this church have to do with the fourth sketch?
What do you think?
(Mokwool Church)
(Mokwool Chu)
What's the address?
(Hanmokwool Church)
(Bumyoung Printing)
Captain. I think we've figured out the location of the last sketch.
(Bumyoung Printing)
This is the location that you chose?
What could be a better location
to finish our relationship?
I don't know what it is that you want,
but you won't get anything from me.
What are you trying to pull?
It's a simple game.
It'll demonstrate what runs out first,
your loyalty or your luck.
Who is the person behind you?
I'll ask again. Who is behind you?
You're still lucky. For now.
Fine. Let's take this all the way.
If I die, you will never find out who is behind me.
His identity must be in this journal.
It may take more time and effort,
but I'll find him eventually.
Then why are you doing this?
Because you are not immortal, and are human like me.
A human, willing to do anything to survive.
You want to test me?
No. I want to destroy you.
I'll destroy everything you believed was right, all your actions,
and your loyalty towards that person.
Wait.
I need time.
Give me time to think.
10 minutes will be enough.
I'll give you exactly 10 minutes.
That's the last bit of respect I will show you.
- 10 minutes have passed. - Wait.
Wait. Give me a little more time.
This isn't like you, to stall for time like this.
Yes, it may not be like me.
However,
there is a reason for stalling time.
Do you think I will die if you pull the trigger?
Baek Woo Jin!
Freeze.
Oh, dear. Now you've lost your chance to pull the trigger.
Baek Woo Jin.
Put the gun down right now.
I told you.
I won't die here.
Sadly, I won't die here. You will.
Baek Woo Jin! Put down the gun!
Sure.
I may die here.
But even if I die here, I'll take you with me.
Baek Woo Jin. If you kill him now,
the person behind him will hide forever.
Then Jang Tae Joon's replacement
will continue doing the same.
So
please put the gun down.
Please.
Don't make me kill you.
Do you think I'm afraid of dying?
Detective Kang, you could never understand
what it feels like to lose the person you love.
My fiancee was murdered.
By Kim Do Jin working for Jang Tae Joon.
Should I be completely honest?
I don't want to stop you. No! I want to lodge a bullet
into his brain myself!
But that won't change anything.
Think not about
what you want to do, but what you must do
for your wife.
Honey.
You're my one and only love in this
entire world.
That's
(Teach me how to pray for my husband.)
The only thing that matters to me.
Give me the journal.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Baek.
Mr. Baek!
Was it you?
Oriana
Fallaci.
Oriana
Fallaci.
Mr. Baek. Mr. Baek!
Are you the person behind Kim Do Jin?
I don't know what you mean.
Detective Kang.
Don't you think you've come too far
to just deny it?
And if it is?
Will you kill me right here?
Is there any reason I need to keep you alive?
Even if you die here,
I have the journal.
I'll uncover everything, from beginning to end.
I knew Woo Jin
would bring me here.
Do you think I didn't know he'd be after
my journal?
That journal
is a fake that I made to lure Woo Jin.
None of the important information is in there.
Naturally,
it isn't in my handwriting either.
You people can never catch me.
You must know why.
But I'll give you a word of advice,
for your efforts of coming here.
Whatever you plan to do, don't do it.
If you come at me carelessly,
you'll end up like that guy on the floor.
Go ahead and do
whatever you want.
Just remember this.
I will
catch you.
I'll catch you and make you pay for your sins.
And tell the rat behind you
that I'll make him pay
for killing Ji Soo.
Tell me the reason.
The Jang Tae Joon that I know
despised injustice more than anyone I knew.
Tell me why you are doing this.
The same reason as yours.
Because I believe this path that I'm taking is right.
You did well, holding back.
Oriana Fallaci.
Detective Baek and his wife
had no family.
They only had
each other.
Once the administrative matters are finished,
I'd like to hold a small funeral for them.
I compared the instructions in the journal
and incidents that happened during those times,
and none of them
match any real cases or victims.
We have to assume this is a fake, just as Jang Tae Joon said.
And Oriana Fallaci.
Oriana Fallaci
was an Italian journalist and an author.
The greatest journalist of the 20th century.
She's a legendary journalist.
So? What is Baek Woo Jin's connection
to this legendary journalist?
Connection?
None, of course.
She never even came to Korea.
But it was Baek Woo Jin's dying words.
It can't be meaningless.
(Oriana Fallaci)
Detective Kang, do you have a few minutes?
Thanks, but let's just say you said it.
What are you thanking me for, and what am I about to say?
Given the timing,
you probably want to give me some warm words of comfort.
Let's just pretend you said it.
Comfort? Whatever.
Don't get ahead of yourself,
and have a drink with a colleague.
What?
You don't like the food?
This is the hot spot in this area.
Well If we're only going to get buzzed,
I'd rather not drink at all.
Mike Tyson said
that everyone has a decent plan
until I beat them up.
Don't run away halfway.
Give it to me.
Okay.
What?
You said earlier
to do what you must do, not what you want to do.
Think not about
what you want to do, but what you must do
for your wife.
Do you really think that,
or did you only say that
to stop Detective Baek?
We're to drink, so just drink.
Don't conduct some survey.
True. What could you possibly know about alcohol?
You need to have tasted the bitterness of life
to appreciate the bitterness of alcohol.
Do you have any idea
how cruddy it is to draw someone else's death?
What What are you doing?
See this? Do you see this scar?
Hey. Do you know how I got it? I was sliced
from my abdomen to my back when I investigated the Yakuza.
I was in surgery for seven hours.
I was in the ICU for two weeks.
I just
My gosh. This is what you call pain. It's the true definition of a scar.
You don't even know anything, you little kid.
Detective Kang, I stayed home for two years
after I graduated middle school.
I was scared that
I might start sketching people's deaths if I went outside.
I may be laughing now.
But back then, I constantly thought about dying
and cutting my hand off my wrist.
Forget it. You can't even relate to any of the stuff I'm saying.
You're a guy who brags about having been hospitalized for a few days.
When I was in high school I can't believe I'm telling you this.
Back then, I was so popular that I even had trouble going home.
Really?
When I was in middle school, I also got asked out by a girl.
I was the president of my year back when I was in elementary school.
You really need to be popular to be voted for president.
When I was in kindergarten, someone offered me a job as a child actress.
He couldn't believe how cute I looked.
What a bunch of nonsense.
Hey, why don't you just give up now?
I can clearly see that you're drunk.
You're the one who's obviously trying hard not to lose it.
My gosh.
Are you serious? Fine, let's keep going.
- Come here. - I'm more than willing.
I'm just worried that you might give up in the middle.
What are you doing? Finish your shot.
Come on. Are you giving up?
- What are you going to do? - How far do you think
Baek Woo Jin has gone?
At least
he can be with the person he loves.
Right?
Yes.
Corporal Yoo.
You're a heavy drinker. You seriously are.
I'll give you that.
Gosh.
I admit that you're good.
What?
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang.
Detective Kang.
My gosh, are you already done? We didn't even get started yet.
Hey, Kang Dong Soo.
Are you sleeping?
You're no match for me. Don't ever try to fight against me.
I'm pretty sure you think you're achieving justice.
I felt the same way.
You should remember how I look right now.
This is how you'll end up in the future.
(Chief Jang Tae Joon)
I caught you in the act.
Look at you. My gosh.
You didn't go home last night, did you?
I had some drinks nearby,
and I slept at the office because I drank a lot.
Is everything okay?
Why are you worried? You know how much I can drink.
Exactly.
I'm worried about the person who drank with you, not you.
Is that person still alive?
I don't know.
Let's gather together for a briefing once Detective Kang gets here.
Okay.
Hey.
Detective Kang.
- Are you okay? You were - Corporal Yoo, you little
Never talk about what happened over some drinks.
That's common sense. You know that, right?
Why? Did something happen yesterday?
I guess you can't remember since you passed out.
Are you laughing?
Don't laugh. Just don't.
Okay.
Everyone, I want you to focus on the screen.
Baek Woo Jin used Baek Chun Soo as his fake identity.
He actually used the name of a homeless man.
He even paid taxes and made bank accounts under that name.
And here are Baek Chun Soo's financial transactions.
As you can already see, Baek Woo Jin's been
donating money every month to an organization named
"Hope and Love" for the past two years.
- "Hope and Love"? - Yes.
It's for those who have lost their families due to a crime.
The organization sends necessities to the victims' families
or helps them out by giving them scholarships.
A guy who used to punish future criminals
sent money to an organization that helps victims' families?
Right? It just doesn't make sense.
I looked more closely into it because it didn't make any sense.
And it turns out that Baek Woo Jin has been sending money
to a certain person, not the organization itself.
Who was he sending the money to?
It's someone named An Mi Sook.
Her husband died three years ago.
His name is Oh Chang Soo.
He was the director of Political Affairs at Hansung Daily.
"Hansung Daily?"
What's wrong? Do you know him?
No, I don't.
But my dad used to be a reporter at Hansung Daily before he passed away.
Anyway, when his wife came home, he had already
been murdered by someone.
And the culprit never got caught.
Are you saying
he's been sending money to the wife of the guy he killed?
But this guy isn't the type that Baek Woo Jin would aim as a target.
- What do you mean? - Do you remember
all the profiles of the guys that Baek Woo Jin murdered?
- Yes. - Well, compare them to him.
He's never committed a crime, and he's not the type to do so.
This just doesn't make sense.
That means Baek Woo Jin knew that he was an innocent man.
That's why he kept sending her money.
It's the least he could do to repent on what he did.
(Personal Details Report)
I think Mr. Park will get promoted.
The one who's been waiting the longest should get promoted.
I personally think Mr. Nam will get promoted.
My gosh, you really don't know anything.
Everyone in our department already thinks
that Mr. Park is going to get promoted.
Hey, do you still not know how persistent Mr. Nam can be?
That man is incredibly Why?
Hello?
You haven't eaten yet, have you?
Koreans should always eat well.
Come on. Let's eat.
Try some. The soup here tastes amazing.
The ambiance doesn't seem so friendly.
The promotion for district attorney is coming up soon.
Everyone's probably lost in their thoughts.
You talk as if it has nothing to do with you.
You're one of the very strong candidates.
Well, I do want the position.
But being greedy doesn't change anything.
If I'm given the opportunity, I'll just do my best.
- That's how it is, you know. - Then it'll be
between you and Mr. Nam Jung Yeon.
Wouldn't it be one of you two?
Well, I guess so.
But considering the seniority and experience level,
I think it'll be hard.
I don't want to hear people saying I'm trying to stab
a senior colleague in the back.
I shouldn't be saying these things to you.
Just forget what you heard.
This isn't a pleasant topic to bring up over lunch,
but I asked you to meet up with me today because of
Kang Do Sik.
That jerk has been selected
as one of the model inmates for early release.
I thought you should know.
(Director of Hansung Daily's Political Desk, Oh Chang Soo's home)
I'm sorry we're reminding you of the painful memories.
No, it's okay. I'd like to do everything
in my power to help you.
May we ask you
what kind of story he was working on before he passed away?
I don't know.
He never talked about work at home.
Then if there are any notes or documents from that time
The police took everything immediately after the incident.
I'm sorry I can't be of any help.
No, it's okay.
Actually,
I remember overhearing his phone conversation with someone.
It was a few days before the incident.
- Who was he talking to? - I just overheard him
talking about "The Elder".
Could you please tell us more details?
I don't remember anything else.
I just remember him saying something about "The Elder"
and thinking it was strange.
That name is all I remember.
If you don't mind,
could we please take a look around his room?
Take your time.
- Thank you. - No problem.
It's not like he was going to commit a crime.
Why do you think Baek Woo Jin killed him?
That question is wrong.
What we should be asking is
Why did Jang Tae Joon
order Baek Woo Jin to kill this man? That's the real question.
Let me put it more accurately. Why did X
order Jang Tae Joon to kill this man?

"The only thing they had in common was their immense greed"

This is
This is my dad's notebook.
What?
(Does the Elder really exist?)
(The Elder, Under Japanese rule)
How is this possible?
(Bumyoung Printing)
("To me, you will be unique in all the world.")
"To me, you will be unique in all the world."
"To you, I shall be unique in all the world."
This sounds familiar for some reason.
It's from "The Little Prince".
My dad used to read it to me often when I was little.
Si Joon.
Dad's notebook?
What do you mean?
Reporter Oh Chang Soo?
Do you know him?
He was Dad's close friend.
He came over to our place a few times.
Right, you were too young back then. You probably don't remember.
Is this Dad's notebook you found
at Mr. Oh's place?
Yes.
It looks like Dad was covering a story about someone
called the Elder back in 1998 just before he passed away.
According to Dad's notes,
that man was the only heir to Yuseong Merchants,
the biggest merchants organization
in Gyeonggi Province back when Korea was under Japanese rule.
Apparently, he was able to gather enormous wealth from the end
of the Japanese rule and through the Korean War.
Then under the military dictatorship, he joined hands
with high-ranking officials
and even obtained the power to influence
the government's economic policies.
There have been multiple regime changes since then,
but his influence already infiltrated the underground economy,
and it only kept growing.
He never reveals himself in public,
but apparently, he's still extremely influential to this day.
The man called the Elder in that notebook
Don't you think it's a bit too exaggerated for it to be believable?
First off, he'd be at least 80 now if he were
actually born under the Japanese rule.
My goodness.
I'm baffled.
It's a conspiracy theory that you'd only see in movies. You guys
don't actually believe it, do you?
Our dad was a competent reporter. He wouldn't have been after
some groundless conspiracy theory.
The fact that he did all this work
means there's definitely something.
- Si Joon. - What's in the cassette tape?
Mr. Yoo, you're the first reporter
that dug this deep.
To tell you the truth, I'm impressed.
I'm sure you're not here to just flatter me like this.
You should stop now.
If you dig deeper, you'll get hurt.
Do you visit every single person and threaten them
in person like this?
No, you're a special case.
Please join hands with us.
With your abilities,
we'll be able to achieve great things together.
For the people of this country to live better lives,
we must enlarge the pie first.
And in order to do that,
we must focus on growing our strength.
That's what we do.
The people of this country?
Let's be honest. Citizens don't matter to you people.
What you folks need is
hardworking and obedient subjects.
Aren't I right?
Mr. Yoo.
If you refuse a glass of drink you're offered,
a punishment will follow.
You must be fully aware of the fact that the Elder
is more than capable of doing that.
The one thing I know for certain
is the fact that nothing can hide the truth.
That's too bad.
It's really too bad.
I thought Dad was killed by a robber. Was he not?
If there's something we don't know about our parents' deaths,
I'll be sure to find out the truth. I promise you.
You trust me, right?
Let's go in.
Si Hyun.
I think it's starting again.
Do you know the man in the sketch?
He's Park Moon Gi, a prosecutor at Seoul Central Prosecutors' Office.
Mr. Yoo. Is this man
Yes, it's him.
Kang Do Sik. The murder
who killed our parents 20 years ago.
This is a lot more serious than I thought.
Do you know what that cross mark in the fourth sketch is?
The gun that he's holding is a sniper rifle.
Then that cross mark is
Is that the scope?
Is there a reason why Kang Do Sik would go after Park Moon Gi?
Mr. Park Moon Gi arrested Kang Do Sik
20 years ago.
You're saying Kang Do Sik is going to shoot Mr. Park.
But that makes no sense.
He's in prison right now.
How could someone in prison come out and commit murder?
Si Hyun, the thing is I didn't tell you because it would upset you,
but his sentence was shortened for good behavior,
so he's being released.
When is it?
- Si Hyun. - When is it?
It was three days ago.
(Sketch)
Let me scope out the area.
Kang Do Sik may come here.
Things are going well, right?
No one will hinder your path to becoming the chief prosecutor.
Kang Do Sik? I'm Yoo Si Joon,
a prosecutor at Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.
Let's trade Yoo Jin Gyu's journal for Yoo Si Joon.
Explain what's going on.
My brother doesn't have much time.
Killing me won't take away your pain.
Because the true root of your pain is yourself.
Watch what you're saying!
