STRANGER
Hey, when did she wake up?
What?
Ms. Kim.
Ga-young.
Can you hear me?
Ga-young, can you hear me?
Ga-young.
Ga-young.
How is she?
She's not all there
due to the head injury.
She's not even aware
of what kind of condition she's in.
The doctor said this may last for months.
Ga-young.
Ga-young.
-Ga-young.
-Wait, Captain.
Hold on. Just a second, please.
Give me a moment with her.
Ga-young.
It's okay. We're police officers.
You're at a hospital now.
Everything is okay now.
Yes, you can talk.
Mom
Mom
Mom?
Do you mean your mom?
Mom
Ga-young. It's me.
I'm here now.
You're okay now.
Everything is all right.
Thank you.
Gosh, my daughter
-Gosh
-Yes, Chief.
She can't really talk coherently yet.
Oh, I see.
Great, thank you. Okay.
Hey, Chief will send Sergeant Kim here.
He said we should go get some sleep.
Let's get some rest.
-Yes, sir.
-Gosh, my eyes are exhausted.
I'll go get everyone something to drink.
-All right. Thank you.
-Do you have some change on you?
Chief must be anxious now that Ga-young
has regained her consciousness.
He must be wondering
how he can shut her up.
We should move her.
Yes, I'll find a quiet place.
-Can Ms. Choi
-Just a second.
Hey, what's up?
Mr. Hwang, I think Tae-gyun Kim
is trying to flee.
What?
The guy who delivered the cash to my dad.
Tae-gyun Kim. He's running away now.
I didn't want to let him get away,
so I followed him.
Where are you now? Are you
MR. YOON
Yes, Mr. Yoon.
Hello, Mr. Hwang.
I'm following her. I can see her.
Please come to Bupyeong.
Okay. Please send me the location.
It sounds urgent.
You should leave right away.
I'll take care of moving her
to a different hospital.
I'm sorry. I'll leave this to you.
What's going on?
What is the matter with him? Goodness.
What is happening?
Gosh, that little
What are you doing there?
Gosh, this is crazy.
Tae-gyun Kim!
-Hey.
-Wait, why are you
Why are you doing this to me?
Hold on. Who are you?
Who on earth are you?
Who's that girl?
All right, fine.
-Are you all right?
-I'm okay.
How's Detective Jang and everyone else?
I hope it's not too stressful.
It's just like what I used to do
every day.
If Moo-sung Park was like a sponsor,
doesn't it mean he was a pimp?
I bet he wasn't just a customer.
He must've used those girls as bribes.
Maybe.
Those men at Western Seoul
Prosecutors' Office must know her.
Our job is to find out who knows how much.
There might be other organizations
that were associated with it too.
The fact that it's not just one
or two people is
The culprit must be getting
extremely anxious too.
Soon, he'll find out that she has regained
her consciousness.
By the way,
what's happening with Kyung-wan?
Gosh, I don't know.
It'll take forever if
the human rights commission gets involved.
Don't worry about it though.
Okay.
I got this for you.
Thank you.
Have some water.
We have to move her
to a different hospital.
You can't tell anyone about it.
You absolutely shouldn't.
-I'll get going, Captain.
-All right.
-See you.
-Don't work too hard.
Bye.
Figuring out who was involved with her
will be the key to solving this case.
That girl woke up.
Are you there?
Yes.
Soo-jung must have gotten even prettier.
You must be excited too.
It's been too long.
Do you
Do you know whom I saw there
yesterday, sir?
I'm not sure. Who could it be?
His wife.
Mr. Il-jae Young's wife.
I was so surprised.
I never thought I'd see her there.
It clearly said "Special Investigation
for Bribery Case Involving Prosecutors"
right by the door.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw
the former minister's wife going in there.
Sir, do you know a prosecutor
named Si-mok Hwang by any chance?
He's in charge
of the special investigation,
and he proposed a deal to me.
What kind of deal?
He said he's investigating
a case from three years ago.
He told me that he'd go easy
on me if I tell him what I know.
I've been very torn about what to do.
I've been thinking so hard
about whether I should accept it.
That's why I fell down the stairs.
So?
I should be straightforward with you.
Sir.
Please help me.
Please stop them from arresting me.
Am I the President or what?
If it was something he could do,
I wouldn't be taking up
your precious time like this.
I know how busy you are with sustaining
this country's economy.
I'm a businessman.
What will you sell to me
if I'm willing to buy from you?
I spent over three hours
at the central district office yesterday.
It's nothing to brag about,
but I'll have to make more trips there.
I'll find out
what the special investigation team
is trying to dig up in detail.
Why would that information
be of any use for me?
I don't care about
what they're trying to dig up.
Pardon?
I sincerely apologize. I am gravely sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I was mistaken.
-You said that Chang-jun didn't tell me
-That was just a slip of the tongue.
I apologize.
Are you changing
your strategy now or what?
Are you trying to make me believe
that you wouldn't betray me easily?
I apologize, sir.
I'm truly sorry.
I sincerely apologize, sir.
I'm sorry.
I've cleared one hurdle.
Where's Chang-jun now?
He'll arrive in Tokyo shortly.
-Tell him to come back.
-Yes, sir.
I'm trying to track down those related
to the Il-jae Young case,
and only the delivery guy,
Tae-gyun Kim, is nowhere to be found.
Also,
I heard that girl
has regained her consciousness.
Mr. Woo, it looks like you have
more things to take care of now.
Understood, sir.
HANJO GROUP
CHAIRMAN YUN-BEOM LEE
Captain Yun-soo Choi, please come
to Administration
Who's looking for me?
Please come to the second floor
upon hearing this announcement.
Great. Please do it
as quickly as possible.
-What's going on?
-Please hurry.
Where are you going? Lieutenant Han.
Gosh, let go.
-Where are you taking her?
-Please keep it down.
What's going on?
We need to transfer her.
This is strictly confidential.
Her life depends on you.
On me?
Well, does Captain know about this?
You trust me, don't you?
Detective.
Sergeant Kim!
It's here. Let's go in.
What took you so long? Let's go.
We have to hurry.
-Yes.
-This patient
At the time, I thought
it was just a convulsion.
I remembered something after you told me
that her life is in danger.
What is it?
That day, she had severe convulsions.
I tried to remember,
but that had never happened before.
Go ahead without me.
I'll follow you shortly.
Where can I check
the security camera footage?
He just took it.
Kim What did he say his name was?
Anyway, I gave it to that police officer.
Do you have the original file?
Because he kept rushing us,
we didn't have time to make a copy.
He took the hard drive.
What?
How can you let him take the hard drive?
I obviously couldn't say no
because he's a police officer.
-Where's Sergeant Kim?
-Hey, Ga-young is gone.
Where is Sergeant Kim?
Who cares where he is?
The witness has vanished into thin air.
He's not there!
Gosh, seriously. This whole thing
is driving me insane.
You told me to go
and talk to Moo-sung Park.
You clearly said to me
that you only delivered the cash.
I already told you
that I've never seen you before.
I don't know Moo-sung Park
or whatever his name is.
-Are you really going to be like this?
-What do you want?
Why on earth are you doing this to me?
I'm leaving.
Gosh, why are you so strong?
She's been after him since yesterday.
I think Ms. Young was
just trying to help us.
Mr. Tae-gyun Kim.
We met once three years ago, didn't we?
You know that I've already paid
for what I did.
That was for siphoning off US dollars.
There's time left on the statute
of limitations for perjury.
Just lock me up if you'd like. That's
better than getting stabbed to death.
So you did commit perjury, didn't you?
You framed my dad, didn't you?
Do you think you can avoid getting stabbed
by claiming that you know nothing?
Aren't you the prosecutor who was on TV?
You said that the culprit
disguised himself to look like Moo-sung.
Do you think he'd leave me alone
if I open my mouth?
You'll die if you don't.
What?
The culprit wants things
about Moo-sung Park to be exposed.
He also doesn't want those who have sinned
to go unpunished.
You might have to pay the price
if you continue to keep your silence.
-What do you mean
-You can leave if you can't trust me.
I'm also curious to see how you'll end up.
Mr. Kim, please help us out
just this once.
We can let go of your perjury charges
if your contribution is significant.
Did he say he'd let
the US dollar thing slide
if you deliver cash for him?
Please admit that my dad
returned the money to you.
-What are we waiting for?
-Let's go.
Mr. Yoon.
Please admit it. Please?
You know what happened to that girl
who was found at his place, right?
Do you want to end up like her?
Since this already happened,
let's not bother taking you to our office.
Gosh, you people are driving me nuts.
Do you admit that Mr. Il-jae Young
returned 800 million won to you
and that you're giving this statement
under no duress?
Yes, I do.
Mr. Kim, please go to
the central district office with him.
-You'll be investigated for perjury.
-That's not what you said.
That will be the safest for you.
You must be fully exposed
so that no one can bother you.
Ms. Young, you should come with us
Mr. Hwang.
Thank you so much.
Have you lost your mind or what?
What was this about?
I had to do something.
-You're working so hard to
-Do you think I'm doing this for you?
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
No! It's not like that.
What you're doing now isn't normal.
You're right.
I'm not in my right mind now.
How can I be?
We've been desperately waiting
for this day.
My parents who did nothing wrong have been
living like sinners for three years.
But you solved our problem.
I sincerely thank you.
ASSISTANT CHIEF PROSECUTOR
-Hello?
-How much longer should I wait for you?
-My apologies.
-Do you now think everyone is under you?
Get yourself here immediately.
You can drop me off on the way.
The woman you said you saw here that day.
Was this her?
Yes, it was her.
Can you please tell me again
about what happened that day?
It was for a very short period
of time, but
Her pillow was on the floor?
She's been getting
severe convulsions today.
Has she ever convulsed to the point that
she got disconnected from her ventilator?
No.
Excuse me. Are you her guardian?
Not once.
I'm certain that Mr. Lee's wife was here.
I'll go and check
the security camera footage now.
They said Sergeant Kim took
the whole thing.
If he has watched the footage,
he must've figured out who took
Ga-young by now.
I have no choice.
I knew that Chief would go through
the footage first as soon
as he finds out that she's gone.
Okay, then.
What is that?
Why was she there?
She must've gone there
to see her husband's woman.
DELETE
Officer Park knows. He's one of them.
I'm telling you the truth.
I thought Captain knew
about the transfer too.
Don't you know how important
she is as a witness?
Where is she? Where did they take her?
I really don't know.
Hey, Yeo-jin and that prosecutor,
Si-mok Hwang or whatever his name is
She's that jerk's minion.
Don't you know that?
It takes one to know one.
This is actually great.
Why are you staring at me
like that? Get out.
Give me the footage.
First things first.
Where did you move Ga-young Kim to?
I'll give you the footage
if you tell me where she is.
That's a win-win situation.
Just make a copy of it.
Try all you want. I won't give it to you
until you tell me where she is.
I won't tell you even if you ask me
a hundred times.
Look at that. She's running away
because she knows she can't win.
When did you get back
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
It's not your desk.
-Evidence.
-Just ask him for it.
He's not giving it to me.
My apologies.
Have you notified me of the reason
you're late for this interview?
No. I apologize again.
Explain why you made me wait
for almost two hours.
If the reason isn't good enough,
your office will be gone when you're done
with the special investigation.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Kang.
The second victim, Ga-young Kim,
has regained her consciousness.
-So who's the culprit?
-She can't really talk yet.
-I'm sure she can write.
-She can barely open her eyes.
Well That is a good enough reason.
There are many things I want
to ask you as well, but first off
I did have a few meals with Mr. Park.
Yes, I'm aware of that.
Here.
You wrote it when you were
at the eastern office three years ago.
You remember it, right?
CASE REPORT, 14GA3541
Are you going to investigate this?
I started the special investigation
to catch all those who bribed
and were bribed.
Who do you think is the one
that has bribed the most in this country?
The prick who was bribed the most.
I haven't seen Tae-gyun for a long time.
What do you think should have been
addressed back then?
The fact that Mr. Young's place
was on the first floor of the building.
You're pretty good.
It was an old apartment building
that was expected to be rebuilt.
There was no security camera
in the hallways.
Tae-gyun, who was about to be arrested
for violating the Foreign Exchange Act,
delivered the box that had 800 million won
to Mr. Young's apartment in the afternoon.
Mr. Young opened it when he got home late
and was very surprised.
He called the number on the business card
on the box, and Tae-gyun came again.
Ten hours had already passed
since his wife accepted the box,
so he didn't report it to the police.
That's why he called Tae-gyun
and returned it to him.
However, Tae-gyun was empty-handed
when he was leaving the building
as seen in the security camera footage
from the entrance.
He also said that Mr. Young
never returned it to him.
But what if
It's no longer a what-if scenario.
Tae-gyun Kim's statement
matches what you just said.
-What statement?
-I met him before coming here.
Hey, why didn't you tell me about it
from the beginning?
What did he say?
He admitted that Mr. Young
returned the money to him.
Hey, then we should
-You will announce it, right?
-Yes.
Good work. Great job.
Being falsely accused
must've been so devastating.
We've been criticizing and bashing
an innocent man.
I knew he'd never do such a thing.
How could you be so sure and convinced
that he'd never?
Why are you changing your attitude
all of a sudden?
You just said yourself that he's innocent.
I found out about it today
because Tae-gyun Kim admitted it.
Back then, you had no idea
whether he accepted the money or not.
The result tells it all.
What do you mean?
A minister was suspected
to have accepted a bribe.
It should have been
a special prosecution case.
Since it happened under our jurisdiction,
we took care
of the preliminary investigation,
but I thought a special investigation
would follow right away.
What happened though?
No special investigation team was formed,
and the case was closed in two days.
Are you saying someone pressured us
to conclude it as bribery
and close the case?
What else could it be?
Why do you think those who worked
on the case got scattered?
I was put in charge of trials
out of the blue.
Plus, you only went there on the first day
during the search but got sent to
-Where was it?
-Cheongju.
Right. You were transferred to Cheongju.
The same goes for the rest. All of them
were transferred to the outskirts.
Someone dragged down a minister
and disbanded an investigation team.
Who could have the power
to do such a thing?
Don't you really know why it happened
and who did it?
Why are you trying to dig this up?
It has nothing to do
with your investigation.
That was when Moo-sung Park started
visiting our office as he pleased
with tacit approval of Mr. Chang-jun Lee.
It was immediately after Mr. Young
was pushed out.
That's when everything began.
I was still young three years ago.
If I get pushed out once again this time,
I won't be able to recover from it.
The fact that you're afraid of retaliation
must mean you know something.
It's getting late.
You're the one who wasted our time.
Even though the team only lasted
for two days,
you continued with the investigation
by yourself, didn't you?
-Mr. Kang.
-Give me some time.
-I need to sort things out too.
-How much time do you need?
It won't take long.
There isn't much to sort out.
Where's Dong-jae now?
Is he still at the hospital?
He's still one of my men.
Shall I visit him?
You'll see him soon
even if you don't visit him.
Isn't it odd?
When we got disbanded like that
at the eastern office,
I didn't think we'd work
together again elsewhere.
Also, it happens to be
Is it odd?
It is odd.
Thank you.
Gosh, it's so weird.
Nothing matches up. This is
This place only accepts credit cards
for parking fees.
Look. This day and this day.
Where did it go? Here.
This too. All the reservations were
made under Min-ah Kwon's name.
But none of the credit cards
on their records is a match.
Did he pay for parking monthly?
Do you really think he would've been
that thorough?
Is he an NIS agent or what?
Or it's possible
that he never brought his car.
What if he used
a different credit card every time?
He mustn't be an ordinary man
if he has that many credit cards. Right?
The man must be someone
who's quite powerful.
He did say the guy must be
someone with power.
Was it back in the summer?
I saw her using the phone in the lobby.
Why did she use the phone in the lobby?
The lobby?
GUEST HISTORY
After booking a room at the hotel,
she must've told the man
the room number right away, right?
Then why did she need to call him
after arriving here?
Excuse me. Was there a time when Room 510
suddenly became unusable last summer?
Or the entire fifth floor.
Suddenly?
Yes. It must've been fine
at the time of booking.
But some problem suddenly occurred
after the room was ready?
Was it that time?
When?
The air conditioning didn't work
on our fourth and fifth floors,
so we had to change our guests' rooms.
Please find out exactly when that was.
I also need a call history of the phone
in the lobby from that day. Thank you.
MIRAE HOSPITAL
Ga-young.
I'm a police officer.
Some people may feel safe
and supported when they see us
at times of danger or difficulty,
but I should
apologize to you.
You remember the man who used
to call you on your days off, right?
I don't know what you were thinking
when you went to meet with him.
But, whether you wanted it or not,
I do want to apologize.
Did you see the culprit by any chance?
Is it the man you used
to spend time with every Monday?
Ms. Kim.
It's okay. He's on our side.
You can trust him.
Ms. Kim.
I'm a prosecutor.
Is the culprit a prosecutor?
Did you hear or remember anything?
You asked the man you used to meet
for money, didn't you?
Who's the man you used to
spend time with every Monday?
It's Chief.
My chief.
The police did something
they should never do.
Who uses phones
in hotel lobbies these days?
There were only three calls made that day.
There was a call made immediately
after her check-in time, so I
CALL HISTORY
CHIEF
She's young enough to be his daughter.
I couldn't find
the security camera footage.
Nurses in the ICU have to help patients
with their toileting needs
as well as with getting changed and so on,
so there are no security cameras there.
There's one in the hallway
by the entrance, but it won't tell us
anything that happened inside.
I think I should meet with Mr. Lee's wife.
Yes. There's one more thing.
Would your chief's driver
be able to confirm dropping him off
at the hotel every Monday?
The records show that the bookings
were made until the end of last year.
Yes, Detective Jang.
You're friends with Chief's driver, right?
Please find out if Chief was
dropped off at the hotel,
where Ga-young used to meet men,
on Mondays.
Yes. I'm talking about our chief,
of course.
Indoor golf lounge?
I see. That's where he went
every Monday last year.
Yes, I thought so.
No, it's nothing. Thank you. All right.
How can she be suspicious of him?
LIEUTENANT HAN
REAL INDOOR GOLF LOUNGE
Hey, it's me again.
About the golf lounge
where you used to drop Chief off
Where is it?
JUNG-BON KIM
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION TEAM
Thank you all for coming
at this late hour.
Now, we will begin the official briefing
on the special investigation
of the bribery case involving prosecutors.
I will update you all on the findings
of the investigation so far.
First of all,
we confirmed
that the bribery charges given
in February 2014 to Mr. Il-jae Young who
was the Minister of Justice at the time,
should be ruled inadmissible.
A statement that serves
as evidence for this
will be shared with you all
after this briefing.
Secondly, our special investigation team
has secured evidence
that proves the man whom
the second victim, Ms. Ga-young Kim,
met through her backer,
the late Moo-sung Park,
was Chief Woo-gyun Kim
at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul.
More information on the evidence
will be shared with all of you
after Mr. Kim's summons tomorrow.
Thirdly, I would like to let you all know
that we're currently investigating
a number of prosecutors at the western
office on top of one prosecutor
for whom we're waiting
on an arrest warrant.
That'd be all. Any questions?
Mr. Hwang, I have a question.
Did the victim state that she provided
sexual favors to Chief Kim?
The victim hasn't fully regained
her consciousness yet,
but we have secured firm evidence
that proves it.
-Mr. Hwang!
-I have a question.
Please tell us the name of the prosecutor
who is about to be arrested.
The investigation is still ongoing.
We will share the details with you
at a later date.
Here. I have a question.
What will happen to Mr. Il-jae Young?
I think that will depend
on how he will respond to the situation.
The follow-up actions will vary
according to his response.
-I have a question too.
-Mr. Hwang!
I have a question!
-Mr. Hwang, here!
-Wait!
What's prosecution's evidence
behind the allegations about Chief Kim?
Will you put in a request tomorrow
for an arrest warrant
after Chief Kim's summons?
I have a question too!
Things will get messy.
YONGSAN POLICE STATION
There he is!
-He's coming out.
-There he is.
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
SI-MOK HWANG
No matter how capable you are,
you won't be able to find out
everything Mr. Lee is up to.
Hey.
Do you think he left the prosecution
because he felt that life is futile?
He'll do something at Hanjo Group.
You won't be able to do this alone.
Those big corporations are harder
to get through than the Blue House.
I'm saying I'll pay for what I did.
Let me help you.
I'll get you intel on them.
While figuring out which side
you should take?
If I can get out of this
by siding with you,
I'll give you my everything.
What? Don't you want to survive this?
Hey, I'd still be alive even if
I have to roll on a field of dog shit.
That's precisely why you need me.
You're too straightforward. You need more.
You'll end up losing it.
I'll help you out.
What can I do?
What do you need?
Dad.
Dad.
Are you interested in doing
a newspaper interview by any chance?
I'd reject it if the request
was from elsewhere,
but it's from Sungmoon Daily.
They're no different.
We could be where we are now
because they exposed it.
Do you think they did it
because they wanted to help me?
It's all because of politics.
Are you talking about Sungmoon Daily?
What exactly do you mean by that?
Anyhow, I'm not interested.
By the way, what's your mom doing?
She said she can't sleep.
She must be over the moon.
So are you, right?
Goodness.
I'm tired.
Have a good sleep.
We're home.
WOO-GYUN KIM
-Is it you two?
-Yes, we're home.
Yes, we're back.
We couldn't even see Soo-jung.
I didn't tell you to come back.
You shouldn't have asked him to come back.
He hasn't gone to Japan for
Then he shouldn't have given me
the reason to do so!
You must be tired.
I apologize.
Thank you. You can go.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea that Si-mok would try
to dig up things about that case.
He started with the hit-and-run accident,
so I thought he'd just dig up some dirt
on his colleagues at prosecution.
I had no idea he'd make
such a move either.
He's protesting to make me
unbury the truth.
He intentionally got my wife involved
to make me disclose what I know.
I can't believe
that he had the nerve to have dinner
at my house the day before.
Even Il-jae couldn't do anything about it
as the Minister of Justice.
What will a mere prosecutor do?
Plus, it's over now anyway
as three years have passed.
That is true.
It'd be a different story if Il-jae Young
is holding an unknown card, but
Please don't worry.
There's nothing but wrinkles
on that old man's hands.
I'm not worried. I just can't believe
how impudent those pricks are.
I've cleared the chessboard for you.
It'll be announced tomorrow.
It wasn't easy, even for me.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thank you. I will do my very best to
It's not exactly how I wanted it to be.
It should've been announced
a little later.
You must know why I'm rushing it.
Yes, I do. I'll end
the special investigation.
Are you sure she woke up?
How incompetent are you?
How can you not know where she is?
Forget it.
Just do the other job well.

Isn't that his car?
Take the picture!
We're here.
-Are you in there?
-Please, come out.
-Are the allegations true?
-Did it really happen?
It's not true at all.
All of it is a fabricated lie!
The prosecutor
made up the story
because he felt pressured
to deliver results.
I'm completely innocent.
I absolutely will not let it slide.
That's ridiculous.
Will you be okay? He is your superior.
He's not just a superior.
She's practically attacking her big boss.
Work is work.
I'll go to Hannam-dong to meet Mr. Lee's
wife right after I'm done with Chief here.
Okay.
This is on the chief of Division One.
There's a number
of suspicious transactions.
-We should follow the protocol, right?
-Yes.
Please make necessary arrangements.
We must keep it from the office
until we request an arrest warrant.
-Got it.
-Moo-sung Park has a bunch of them too.
I think that briber
accepted bribes as well.
He received big chunks of money
from several companies.
-Please check with the companies.
-Sure.
Let's work hard, everyone.
-Of course. See you.
-See you.
Lieutenant.
Do you know if any of your colleagues
witnessed Kyung-wan
getting abused?
Is the human rights commission saying
it'll be hard?
I'm afraid Kyung-wan might end up
looking like a crazy guy.
With those photos alone,
we can't refute their claim that he got
those bruises during the arrest.
How can you ask her for such a favor
in this situation?
Do you want her to be ostracized
when she's back at the station?
It's not like this investigation
will go on forever.
That is true.
Forget what I said.
Please don't worry about it.
-I'll see you later.
-See you.
By the way, it's strange.
Ms. Choi would never miss work
because of family matters.
Do you miss her?
Cut it out.
Gosh, no way.
Please go ahead if there's anything
you'd like to say.
How did you and Moo-sung Park meet?
When was the last time you saw him?
You said I can say what I want to say.
Whether her name is Min-ah Kwon
or Ga-young Kim, I don't know her.
I've never seen her.
Please sit down.
Did Moo-sung Park ever threaten you?
Why do you keep talking
about that dead man?
Because he's dead.
Sit down, please.
Did you
summon me to dump everything on me?
Will you accuse me of killing him
because you don't have
enough evidence to link me with that girl?
Shall I list my alibis?
Detective Jang saw you at the station
when Moo-sung Park was killed.
With the Ga-young Kim case,
your driver confirmed dropping you off
at your place.
Why did you snoop around
and check my alibis?
Do you realize what you have done?
I'm a husband and a father.
Because of what you have done,
I'm like a dead person
to my wife and children.
You're also accusing me
of killing someone now?
You think I'm a murderer?
We're okay here.
This is all you need to hear from me.
Listen up.
I don't know that girl who was found
at Moo-sung Park's house.
I've never even touched her.
If you continue to deny it,
we'll have no choice
but to disclose all of these photos.
Please admit it
and apologize.
That's the last thing I can do for
That is
the last thing you can do
for the democratic
and civilian police
as well as for our colleagues
at Yongsan Police Station.
Please do it for us, sir.
Please come with us.
The washroom.
Pardon me?
I need to use the washroom.
Oh, sure. This way, please.
I'll wait outside, sir.
When you're done
I need to ask you for a favor.
What What is this about?
These are fake, right?
These must've been manipulated.
Did Prosecutor Hwang give you these?
They must be
from the security camera footage.
I'm not asking you to steal it
or to delete the file for me.
Please. Just get me a copy.
No one will find out.
Forget it. I don't want to watch it.
Good call. You don't need to watch it
with your own eyes.
I have to go to Hannam-dong.
Wait, Lieutenant.
I haven't seen you two together
in quite a while.
Both troublemakers
of the division are here.
You would've been the perfect trio
with Eun-soo here.
Gosh, you're hurting my feelings here.
Please don't count yourself out.
You're one of us troublemakers too.
Do you ever get disheartened?
Being on TV like that
must've been mortifying.
Your face was on TV too.
Don't forget, we were both investigated.
There were so many comments
about my handsome face though.
Good for you.
Tell us what you know.
There are things that I heard
directly from Mr. Park.
The 800 million won was his money.
We know that.
Mr. Young returned the money.
We know that too.
He told me that Chairman Lee
asked him to do it.
Do you know what Mr. Park did
to lure Mr. Lee out?
He wanted to get jobs
from Hanjo Construction
but had no funds to circulate.
So he ended up
Keep it short. So what happened?
Chairman Lee's executive assistant,
Mr. Woo, got in touch with him.
To a chairman of such a conglomerate,
800 million won must be nothing.
Why did he have to use Mr. Park?
He must've wanted to get
Mr. Park involved. It's obvious.
He knew everything
about what his son-in-law was up to,
and he used it to hit his Achilles' heel.
Mr. Lee was able to have some fun
behind his wife's back thanks to Mr. Park,
and Chairman Lee knew everything.
I'm not sure why, but Chairman Lee
wanted to push out Mr. Young,
and he needed Mr. Lee on his side.
The man who knew exactly what kind of fun
he had been having
was right beside his father-in-law
who intimidates him.
So are you saying Mr. Lee had to listen
to his father-in-law
and strike against Mr. Young
because of that weakness of his?
Mr. Young was like a father to Mr. Lee.
Are you sure Moo-sung Park
provided Mr. Lee with women?
Of course. Is that even a question?
Do I have to see it to know that?
If that's true,
why did Yun-beom Lee
have to get rid of Mr. Young
and why did he have to use
his son-in-law to do that?
Mr. Kang.
You must know something.
No, I don't. Don't pressure me.
Hanjo Distribution.
You've heard of it, right?
Oh, that company.
Mr. Park invested everything he had
in that company's stocks,
and that became tens of billions of won.
Mr. Park spent 1,4 billion won
on the company's stocks.
But that turned into 19 billion won
overnight after the company went public.
He must've been thrilled, right?
But the Financial Supervisory Service
ruined his excitement.
"You jerk, isn't this illegal?
You must've bought the stocks with a loan
as you knew about them going public."
Saying things like that,
they tried to make him talk.
That was when
he was getting jobs from Hanjo,
so it was clearly an insider trading.
-So did Mr. Park disclose anything?
-No.
I sound like a financial expert right now,
so don't butt in.
Everyone knows this story.
What about this one?
Hanjo Group protected Mr. Park
from FSS back then.
No, that's not what happened.
Mr. Park said he won all public officials
over to his side.
Hey, do you think those at FSS
are some clueless punks?
Mr. Park wouldn't have been able
to influence them.
I bet you don't know this either.
Yun-beom Lee's children also owned
a lot of the company's stocks.
Is the information on how much
Mr. Lee's wife invested also available?
No, but I acquired it.
She invested 1,5 billion won,
and her half-brother invested
3,5 billion won.
MOO-SUNG PARK OWNS STOCK OF 19 BILLION WON
FROM HANJO CONSTRUCTION.
But how is this connected
to Mr. Young's bribery case?
I don't know that either.
Mr. Park never told me about it,
which I thought was strange.
Mr. Kang, did you hear anything
from Mr. Young?
He must've been framed like that
because he knows something.
He didn't tell me anything.
But they only invested 3,5
and 1,5 billion won when their father
is the chairman of one of the biggest
conglomerates in Korea.
How petty.
Gosh, it's five billion won together.
Do you think that's petty?
How freehanded are you?
Yes.
Go where?
Breaking news.
Former chief prosecutor, Chang-jun Lee,
has been appointed
as the president's chief secretary.
The Blue House just held a briefing
at Choonchoogwan
to announce the appointment
of the new president's chief secretary,
Chang-jun Lee,
who is the former chief prosecutor
of Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
Until just recently, Chang-jun Lee
used to be the deputy chief prosecutor
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
I didn't expect this at all.
How can it unfold like this?
Yes, I'll leave now.
The entire criminal division is going
to see him to congratulate him.
-I'll do it another time.
-Why?
I have to take care of something.
All right. Get going.
FORMER CHIEF PROSECUTOR CHANG-JUN LEE
Former Chief Prosecutor Lee
Appointed as Chief Secretary
Can you trust him?
I have no choice.
I won't stop at a tip of the iceberg
like Moo-sung Park.
I'm not married to a rich family,
so I don't know anyone
other than Mr. Seo
whom I can send to Hanjo.
What if he's just saying he spoke
to Chairman Lee? Do you buy it?
He went straight to Hanjo
from the hospital.
He was there for a while,
so I think he met him.
Even the President can't control
Chairman Lee.
Am I supposed to stop you or support you?
Please hold off on firing Mr. Seo
for the time being.
He should be dismissed
from the entire prosecution.
He'll be arrested.
Please hold it off until then.
Let's go. Everyone is already
at the parking lot.
Mr. Kang.
Don't you think Yun-beom Lee
must've first heard about Moo-sung Park
when he invested in the company's stocks?
Moo-sung Park was the biggest
shareholder after his children.
I'll look into it more.
You're so determined.
I should give you that much support.
-Mr. Yoon is doing a good job, right?
-Yes.
Treat him well. He's a nice guy.
What should I do to treat him well?
Had someone else asked me that question,
I would've assumed he was acting up.
The way you say it sounds like
you really want to treat him well.
Just treat him like that.
Wanting to treat him well
will help you figure out how to do it.
Okay.
You should treat me well too, you jerk.
Yes, sir.
Gosh, people are so quick to act
at times like this.
His letter of appointment just got printed
and look at the fuss they make
on congratulating him.
Ma'am.
Someone from the police is here.
What should I do?
LETTER OF APPOINTMENT,
CHANG-JUN LEE
CHIEF WOO-GYUN KIM
BLOCK THE NUMBER
Come in.
Congratulations, Mr. Lee.
I'm honored to serve you again.
Thank you for trusting me
and following me here.
I'm the one who should thank you.
This is from the Head of State Affairs.
This is a gift from Chief Woo-gyun Kim
at Yongsan Police Station.
Those from the Western Seoul
Prosecutors' Office are at the main gate.
Thank you.
This is from the original footage.
Shall I expose who was in the room
where the girl came out of
with the reservation records
from the hotel,
Mr. Chief Secretary?
Congratulations, Mr. Chief Secretary.
Thank you.
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
-Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

CHANG-JUN LEE
STRANGER
You won't be able to go abroad
for a while.
It's a request from the prosecution.
Please confirm, sir.
-Tell them that's not going to happen.
-Prohibition of departure?
Nobody would've known
if it weren't for that scum.
His wife is charged with murder.
But, he's not curious about
who she might've killed and why?
-Come work for me.
-It's working itself out.
Chairman Lee is up to something.
Please try to recall.
Anything would be great.
You need to remember as soon as possible.

Hey, when did she wake up?
What?
Ms. Kim.
Ga-young.
Can you hear me?
Ga-young, can you hear me?
Ga-young.
Ga-young.
How is she?
She's not all there
due to the head injury.
She's not even aware
of what kind of condition she's in.
The doctor said this may last for months.
Ga-young.
Ga-young.
-Ga-young.
-Wait, Captain.
Hold on. Just a second, please.
Give me a moment with her.
Ga-young.
It's okay. We're police officers.
You're at a hospital now.
Everything is okay now.
Yes, you can talk.
Mom
Mom
Mom?
Do you mean your mom?
Mom
Ga-young. It's me.
I'm here now.
You're okay now.
Everything is all right.
Thank you.
Gosh, my daughter
-Gosh
-Yes, Chief.
She can't really talk coherently yet.
Oh, I see.
Great, thank you. Okay.
Hey, Chief will send Sergeant Kim here.
He said we should go get some sleep.
Let's get some rest.
-Yes, sir.
-Gosh, my eyes are exhausted.
I'll go get everyone something to drink.
-All right. Thank you.
-Do you have some change on you?
Chief must be anxious now that Ga-young
has regained her consciousness.
He must be wondering
how he can shut her up.
We should move her.
Yes, I'll find a quiet place.
-Can Ms. Choi
-Just a second.
Hey, what's up?
Mr. Hwang, I think Tae-gyun Kim
is trying to flee.
What?
The guy who delivered the cash to my dad.
Tae-gyun Kim. He's running away now.
I didn't want to let him get away,
so I followed him.
Where are you now? Are you
MR. YOON
Yes, Mr. Yoon.
Hello, Mr. Hwang.
I'm following her. I can see her.
Please come to Bupyeong.
Okay. Please send me the location.
It sounds urgent.
You should leave right away.
I'll take care of moving her
to a different hospital.
I'm sorry. I'll leave this to you.
What's going on?
What is the matter with him? Goodness.
What is happening?
Gosh, that little
What are you doing there?
Gosh, this is crazy.
Tae-gyun Kim!
-Hey.
-Wait, why are you
Why are you doing this to me?
Hold on. Who are you?
Who on earth are you?
Who's that girl?
All right, fine.
-Are you all right?
-I'm okay.
How's Detective Jang and everyone else?
I hope it's not too stressful.
It's just like what I used to do
every day.
If Moo-sung Park was like a sponsor,
doesn't it mean he was a pimp?
I bet he wasn't just a customer.
He must've used those girls as bribes.
Maybe.
Those men at Western Seoul
Prosecutors' Office must know her.
Our job is to find out who knows how much.
There might be other organizations
that were associated with it too.
The fact that it's not just one
or two people is
The culprit must be getting
extremely anxious too.
Soon, he'll find out that she has regained
her consciousness.
By the way,
what's happening with Kyung-wan?
Gosh, I don't know.
It'll take forever if
the human rights commission gets involved.
Don't worry about it though.
Okay.
I got this for you.
Thank you.
Have some water.
We have to move her
to a different hospital.
You can't tell anyone about it.
You absolutely shouldn't.
-I'll get going, Captain.
-All right.
-See you.
-Don't work too hard.
Bye.
Figuring out who was involved with her
will be the key to solving this case.
That girl woke up.
Are you there?
Yes.
Soo-jung must have gotten even prettier.
You must be excited too.
It's been too long.
Do you
Do you know whom I saw there
yesterday, sir?
I'm not sure. Who could it be?
His wife.
Mr. Il-jae Young's wife.
I was so surprised.
I never thought I'd see her there.
It clearly said "Special Investigation
for Bribery Case Involving Prosecutors"
right by the door.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw
the former minister's wife going in there.
Sir, do you know a prosecutor
named Si-mok Hwang by any chance?
He's in charge
of the special investigation,
and he proposed a deal to me.
What kind of deal?
He said he's investigating
a case from three years ago.
He told me that he'd go easy
on me if I tell him what I know.
I've been very torn about what to do.
I've been thinking so hard
about whether I should accept it.
That's why I fell down the stairs.
So?
I should be straightforward with you.
Sir.
Please help me.
Please stop them from arresting me.
Am I the President or what?
If it was something he could do,
I wouldn't be taking up
your precious time like this.
I know how busy you are with sustaining
this country's economy.
I'm a businessman.
What will you sell to me
if I'm willing to buy from you?
I spent over three hours
at the central district office yesterday.
It's nothing to brag about,
but I'll have to make more trips there.
I'll find out
what the special investigation team
is trying to dig up in detail.
Why would that information
be of any use for me?
I don't care about
what they're trying to dig up.
Pardon?
I sincerely apologize. I am gravely sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
I was mistaken.
-You said that Chang-jun didn't tell me
-That was just a slip of the tongue.
I apologize.
Are you changing
your strategy now or what?
Are you trying to make me believe
that you wouldn't betray me easily?
I apologize, sir.
I'm truly sorry.
I sincerely apologize, sir.
I'm sorry.
I've cleared one hurdle.
Where's Chang-jun now?
He'll arrive in Tokyo shortly.
-Tell him to come back.
-Yes, sir.
I'm trying to track down those related
to the Il-jae Young case,
and only the delivery guy,
Tae-gyun Kim, is nowhere to be found.
Also,
I heard that girl
has regained her consciousness.
Mr. Woo, it looks like you have
more things to take care of now.
Understood, sir.
HANJO GROUP
CHAIRMAN YUN-BEOM LEE
Captain Yun-soo Choi, please come
to Administration
Who's looking for me?
Please come to the second floor
upon hearing this announcement.
Great. Please do it
as quickly as possible.
-What's going on?
-Please hurry.
Where are you going? Lieutenant Han.
Gosh, let go.
-Where are you taking her?
-Please keep it down.
What's going on?
We need to transfer her.
This is strictly confidential.
Her life depends on you.
On me?
Well, does Captain know about this?
You trust me, don't you?
Detective.
Sergeant Kim!
It's here. Let's go in.
What took you so long? Let's go.
We have to hurry.
-Yes.
-This patient
At the time, I thought
it was just a convulsion.
I remembered something after you told me
that her life is in danger.
What is it?
That day, she had severe convulsions.
I tried to remember,
but that had never happened before.
Go ahead without me.
I'll follow you shortly.
Where can I check
the security camera footage?
He just took it.
Kim What did he say his name was?
Anyway, I gave it to that police officer.
Do you have the original file?
Because he kept rushing us,
we didn't have time to make a copy.
He took the hard drive.
What?
How can you let him take the hard drive?
I obviously couldn't say no
because he's a police officer.
-Where's Sergeant Kim?
-Hey, Ga-young is gone.
Where is Sergeant Kim?
Who cares where he is?
The witness has vanished into thin air.
He's not there!
Gosh, seriously. This whole thing
is driving me insane.
You told me to go
and talk to Moo-sung Park.
You clearly said to me
that you only delivered the cash.
I already told you
that I've never seen you before.
I don't know Moo-sung Park
or whatever his name is.
-Are you really going to be like this?
-What do you want?
Why on earth are you doing this to me?
I'm leaving.
Gosh, why are you so strong?
She's been after him since yesterday.
I think Ms. Young was
just trying to help us.
Mr. Tae-gyun Kim.
We met once three years ago, didn't we?
You know that I've already paid
for what I did.
That was for siphoning off US dollars.
There's time left on the statute
of limitations for perjury.
Just lock me up if you'd like. That's
better than getting stabbed to death.
So you did commit perjury, didn't you?
You framed my dad, didn't you?
Do you think you can avoid getting stabbed
by claiming that you know nothing?
Aren't you the prosecutor who was on TV?
You said that the culprit
disguised himself to look like Moo-sung.
Do you think he'd leave me alone
if I open my mouth?
You'll die if you don't.
What?
The culprit wants things
about Moo-sung Park to be exposed.
He also doesn't want those who have sinned
to go unpunished.
You might have to pay the price
if you continue to keep your silence.
-What do you mean
-You can leave if you can't trust me.
I'm also curious to see how you'll end up.
Mr. Kim, please help us out
just this once.
We can let go of your perjury charges
if your contribution is significant.
Did he say he'd let
the US dollar thing slide
if you deliver cash for him?
Please admit that my dad
returned the money to you.
-What are we waiting for?
-Let's go.
Mr. Yoon.
Please admit it. Please?
You know what happened to that girl
who was found at his place, right?
Do you want to end up like her?
Since this already happened,
let's not bother taking you to our office.
Gosh, you people are driving me nuts.
Do you admit that Mr. Il-jae Young
returned 800 million won to you
and that you're giving this statement
under no duress?
Yes, I do.
Mr. Kim, please go to
the central district office with him.
-You'll be investigated for perjury.
-That's not what you said.
That will be the safest for you.
You must be fully exposed
so that no one can bother you.
Ms. Young, you should come with us
Mr. Hwang.
Thank you so much.
Have you lost your mind or what?
What was this about?
I had to do something.
-You're working so hard to
-Do you think I'm doing this for you?
Thank you. I really appreciate it.
No! It's not like that.
What you're doing now isn't normal.
You're right.
I'm not in my right mind now.
How can I be?
We've been desperately waiting
for this day.
My parents who did nothing wrong have been
living like sinners for three years.
But you solved our problem.
I sincerely thank you.
ASSISTANT CHIEF PROSECUTOR
-Hello?
-How much longer should I wait for you?
-My apologies.
-Do you now think everyone is under you?
Get yourself here immediately.
You can drop me off on the way.
The woman you said you saw here that day.
Was this her?
Yes, it was her.
Can you please tell me again
about what happened that day?
It was for a very short period
of time, but
Her pillow was on the floor?
She's been getting
severe convulsions today.
Has she ever convulsed to the point that
she got disconnected from her ventilator?
No.
Excuse me. Are you her guardian?
Not once.
I'm certain that Mr. Lee's wife was here.
I'll go and check
the security camera footage now.
They said Sergeant Kim took
the whole thing.
If he has watched the footage,
he must've figured out who took
Ga-young by now.
I have no choice.
I knew that Chief would go through
the footage first as soon
as he finds out that she's gone.
Okay, then.
What is that?
Why was she there?
She must've gone there
to see her husband's woman.
DELETE
Officer Park knows. He's one of them.
I'm telling you the truth.
I thought Captain knew
about the transfer too.
Don't you know how important
she is as a witness?
Where is she? Where did they take her?
I really don't know.
Hey, Yeo-jin and that prosecutor,
Si-mok Hwang or whatever his name is
She's that jerk's minion.
Don't you know that?
It takes one to know one.
This is actually great.
Why are you staring at me
like that? Get out.
Give me the footage.
First things first.
Where did you move Ga-young Kim to?
I'll give you the footage
if you tell me where she is.
That's a win-win situation.
Just make a copy of it.
Try all you want. I won't give it to you
until you tell me where she is.
I won't tell you even if you ask me
a hundred times.
Look at that. She's running away
because she knows she can't win.
When did you get back
What are you doing?
What are you looking for?
It's not your desk.
-Evidence.
-Just ask him for it.
He's not giving it to me.
My apologies.
Have you notified me of the reason
you're late for this interview?
No. I apologize again.
Explain why you made me wait
for almost two hours.
If the reason isn't good enough,
your office will be gone when you're done
with the special investigation.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Kang.
The second victim, Ga-young Kim,
has regained her consciousness.
-So who's the culprit?
-She can't really talk yet.
-I'm sure she can write.
-She can barely open her eyes.
Well That is a good enough reason.
There are many things I want
to ask you as well, but first off
I did have a few meals with Mr. Park.
Yes, I'm aware of that.
Here.
You wrote it when you were
at the eastern office three years ago.
You remember it, right?
CASE REPORT, 14GA3541
Are you going to investigate this?
I started the special investigation
to catch all those who bribed
and were bribed.
Who do you think is the one
that has bribed the most in this country?
The prick who was bribed the most.
I haven't seen Tae-gyun for a long time.
What do you think should have been
addressed back then?
The fact that Mr. Young's place
was on the first floor of the building.
You're pretty good.
It was an old apartment building
that was expected to be rebuilt.
There was no security camera
in the hallways.
Tae-gyun, who was about to be arrested
for violating the Foreign Exchange Act,
delivered the box that had 800 million won
to Mr. Young's apartment in the afternoon.
Mr. Young opened it when he got home late
and was very surprised.
He called the number on the business card
on the box, and Tae-gyun came again.
Ten hours had already passed
since his wife accepted the box,
so he didn't report it to the police.
That's why he called Tae-gyun
and returned it to him.
However, Tae-gyun was empty-handed
when he was leaving the building
as seen in the security camera footage
from the entrance.
He also said that Mr. Young
never returned it to him.
But what if
It's no longer a what-if scenario.
Tae-gyun Kim's statement
matches what you just said.
-What statement?
-I met him before coming here.
Hey, why didn't you tell me about it
from the beginning?
What did he say?
He admitted that Mr. Young
returned the money to him.
Hey, then we should
-You will announce it, right?
-Yes.
Good work. Great job.
Being falsely accused
must've been so devastating.
We've been criticizing and bashing
an innocent man.
I knew he'd never do such a thing.
How could you be so sure and convinced
that he'd never?
Why are you changing your attitude
all of a sudden?
You just said yourself that he's innocent.
I found out about it today
because Tae-gyun Kim admitted it.
Back then, you had no idea
whether he accepted the money or not.
The result tells it all.
What do you mean?
A minister was suspected
to have accepted a bribe.
It should have been
a special prosecution case.
Since it happened under our jurisdiction,
we took care
of the preliminary investigation,
but I thought a special investigation
would follow right away.
What happened though?
No special investigation team was formed,
and the case was closed in two days.
Are you saying someone pressured us
to conclude it as bribery
and close the case?
What else could it be?
Why do you think those who worked
on the case got scattered?
I was put in charge of trials
out of the blue.
Plus, you only went there on the first day
during the search but got sent to
-Where was it?
-Cheongju.
Right. You were transferred to Cheongju.
The same goes for the rest. All of them
were transferred to the outskirts.
Someone dragged down a minister
and disbanded an investigation team.
Who could have the power
to do such a thing?
Don't you really know why it happened
and who did it?
Why are you trying to dig this up?
It has nothing to do
with your investigation.
That was when Moo-sung Park started
visiting our office as he pleased
with tacit approval of Mr. Chang-jun Lee.
It was immediately after Mr. Young
was pushed out.
That's when everything began.
I was still young three years ago.
If I get pushed out once again this time,
I won't be able to recover from it.
The fact that you're afraid of retaliation
must mean you know something.
It's getting late.
You're the one who wasted our time.
Even though the team only lasted
for two days,
you continued with the investigation
by yourself, didn't you?
-Mr. Kang.
-Give me some time.
-I need to sort things out too.
-How much time do you need?
It won't take long.
There isn't much to sort out.
Where's Dong-jae now?
Is he still at the hospital?
He's still one of my men.
Shall I visit him?
You'll see him soon
even if you don't visit him.
Isn't it odd?
When we got disbanded like that
at the eastern office,
I didn't think we'd work
together again elsewhere.
Also, it happens to be
Is it odd?
It is odd.
Thank you.
Gosh, it's so weird.
Nothing matches up. This is
This place only accepts credit cards
for parking fees.
Look. This day and this day.
Where did it go? Here.
This too. All the reservations were
made under Min-ah Kwon's name.
But none of the credit cards
on their records is a match.
Did he pay for parking monthly?
Do you really think he would've been
that thorough?
Is he an NIS agent or what?
Or it's possible
that he never brought his car.
What if he used
a different credit card every time?
He mustn't be an ordinary man
if he has that many credit cards. Right?
The man must be someone
who's quite powerful.
He did say the guy must be
someone with power.
Was it back in the summer?
I saw her using the phone in the lobby.
Why did she use the phone in the lobby?
The lobby?
GUEST HISTORY
After booking a room at the hotel,
she must've told the man
the room number right away, right?
Then why did she need to call him
after arriving here?
Excuse me. Was there a time when Room 510
suddenly became unusable last summer?
Or the entire fifth floor.
Suddenly?
Yes. It must've been fine
at the time of booking.
But some problem suddenly occurred
after the room was ready?
Was it that time?
When?
The air conditioning didn't work
on our fourth and fifth floors,
so we had to change our guests' rooms.
Please find out exactly when that was.
I also need a call history of the phone
in the lobby from that day. Thank you.
MIRAE HOSPITAL
Ga-young.
I'm a police officer.
Some people may feel safe
and supported when they see us
at times of danger or difficulty,
but I should
apologize to you.
You remember the man who used
to call you on your days off, right?
I don't know what you were thinking
when you went to meet with him.
But, whether you wanted it or not,
I do want to apologize.
Did you see the culprit by any chance?
Is it the man you used
to spend time with every Monday?
Ms. Kim.
It's okay. He's on our side.
You can trust him.
Ms. Kim.
I'm a prosecutor.
Is the culprit a prosecutor?
Did you hear or remember anything?
You asked the man you used to meet
for money, didn't you?
Who's the man you used to
spend time with every Monday?
It's Chief.
My chief.
The police did something
they should never do.
Who uses phones
in hotel lobbies these days?
There were only three calls made that day.
There was a call made immediately
after her check-in time, so I
CALL HISTORY
CHIEF
She's young enough to be his daughter.
I couldn't find
the security camera footage.
Nurses in the ICU have to help patients
with their toileting needs
as well as with getting changed and so on,
so there are no security cameras there.
There's one in the hallway
by the entrance, but it won't tell us
anything that happened inside.
I think I should meet with Mr. Lee's wife.
Yes. There's one more thing.
Would your chief's driver
be able to confirm dropping him off
at the hotel every Monday?
The records show that the bookings
were made until the end of last year.
Yes, Detective Jang.
You're friends with Chief's driver, right?
Please find out if Chief was
dropped off at the hotel,
where Ga-young used to meet men,
on Mondays.
Yes. I'm talking about our chief,
of course.
Indoor golf lounge?
I see. That's where he went
every Monday last year.
Yes, I thought so.
No, it's nothing. Thank you. All right.
How can she be suspicious of him?
LIEUTENANT HAN
REAL INDOOR GOLF LOUNGE
Hey, it's me again.
About the golf lounge
where you used to drop Chief off
Where is it?
JUNG-BON KIM
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION TEAM
Thank you all for coming
at this late hour.
Now, we will begin the official briefing
on the special investigation
of the bribery case involving prosecutors.
I will update you all on the findings
of the investigation so far.
First of all,
we confirmed
that the bribery charges given
in February 2014 to Mr. Il-jae Young who
was the Minister of Justice at the time,
should be ruled inadmissible.
A statement that serves
as evidence for this
will be shared with you all
after this briefing.
Secondly, our special investigation team
has secured evidence
that proves the man whom
the second victim, Ms. Ga-young Kim,
met through her backer,
the late Moo-sung Park,
was Chief Woo-gyun Kim
at Yongsan Police Station in Seoul.
More information on the evidence
will be shared with all of you
after Mr. Kim's summons tomorrow.
Thirdly, I would like to let you all know
that we're currently investigating
a number of prosecutors at the western
office on top of one prosecutor
for whom we're waiting
on an arrest warrant.
That'd be all. Any questions?
Mr. Hwang, I have a question.
Did the victim state that she provided
sexual favors to Chief Kim?
The victim hasn't fully regained
her consciousness yet,
but we have secured firm evidence
that proves it.
-Mr. Hwang!
-I have a question.
Please tell us the name of the prosecutor
who is about to be arrested.
The investigation is still ongoing.
We will share the details with you
at a later date.
Here. I have a question.
What will happen to Mr. Il-jae Young?
I think that will depend
on how he will respond to the situation.
The follow-up actions will vary
according to his response.
-I have a question too.
-Mr. Hwang!
I have a question!
-Mr. Hwang, here!
-Wait!
What's prosecution's evidence
behind the allegations about Chief Kim?
Will you put in a request tomorrow
for an arrest warrant
after Chief Kim's summons?
I have a question too!
Things will get messy.
YONGSAN POLICE STATION
There he is!
-He's coming out.
-There he is.
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
SI-MOK HWANG
No matter how capable you are,
you won't be able to find out
everything Mr. Lee is up to.
Hey.
Do you think he left the prosecution
because he felt that life is futile?
He'll do something at Hanjo Group.
You won't be able to do this alone.
Those big corporations are harder
to get through than the Blue House.
I'm saying I'll pay for what I did.
Let me help you.
I'll get you intel on them.
While figuring out which side
you should take?
If I can get out of this
by siding with you,
I'll give you my everything.
What? Don't you want to survive this?
Hey, I'd still be alive even if
I have to roll on a field of dog shit.
That's precisely why you need me.
You're too straightforward. You need more.
You'll end up losing it.
I'll help you out.
What can I do?
What do you need?
Dad.
Dad.
Are you interested in doing
a newspaper interview by any chance?
I'd reject it if the request
was from elsewhere,
but it's from Sungmoon Daily.
They're no different.
We could be where we are now
because they exposed it.
Do you think they did it
because they wanted to help me?
It's all because of politics.
Are you talking about Sungmoon Daily?
What exactly do you mean by that?
Anyhow, I'm not interested.
By the way, what's your mom doing?
She said she can't sleep.
She must be over the moon.
So are you, right?
Goodness.
I'm tired.
Have a good sleep.
We're home.
WOO-GYUN KIM
-Is it you two?
-Yes, we're home.
Yes, we're back.
We couldn't even see Soo-jung.
I didn't tell you to come back.
You shouldn't have asked him to come back.
He hasn't gone to Japan for
Then he shouldn't have given me
the reason to do so!
You must be tired.
I apologize.
Thank you. You can go.
I'm sorry.
I had no idea that Si-mok would try
to dig up things about that case.
He started with the hit-and-run accident,
so I thought he'd just dig up some dirt
on his colleagues at prosecution.
I had no idea he'd make
such a move either.
He's protesting to make me
unbury the truth.
He intentionally got my wife involved
to make me disclose what I know.
I can't believe
that he had the nerve to have dinner
at my house the day before.
Even Il-jae couldn't do anything about it
as the Minister of Justice.
What will a mere prosecutor do?
Plus, it's over now anyway
as three years have passed.
That is true.
It'd be a different story if Il-jae Young
is holding an unknown card, but
Please don't worry.
There's nothing but wrinkles
on that old man's hands.
I'm not worried. I just can't believe
how impudent those pricks are.
I've cleared the chessboard for you.
It'll be announced tomorrow.
It wasn't easy, even for me.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Thank you. I will do my very best to
It's not exactly how I wanted it to be.
It should've been announced
a little later.
You must know why I'm rushing it.
Yes, I do. I'll end
the special investigation.
Are you sure she woke up?
How incompetent are you?
How can you not know where she is?
Forget it.
Just do the other job well.
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRIC
PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Isn't that his car?
Take the picture!
We're here.
-Are you in there?
-Please, come out.
-Are the allegations true?
-Did it really happen?
It's not true at all.
All of it is a fabricated lie!
The prosecutor
made up the story
because he felt pressured
to deliver results.
I'm completely innocent.
I absolutely will not let it slide.
That's ridiculous.
Will you be okay? He is your superior.
He's not just a superior.
She's practically attacking her big boss.
Work is work.
I'll go to Hannam-dong to meet Mr. Lee's
wife right after I'm done with Chief here.
Okay.
This is on the chief of Division One.
There's a number
of suspicious transactions.
-We should follow the protocol, right?
-Yes.
Please make necessary arrangements.
We must keep it from the office
until we request an arrest warrant.
-Got it.
-Moo-sung Park has a bunch of them too.
I think that briber
accepted bribes as well.
He received big chunks of money
from several companies.
-Please check with the companies.
-Sure.
Let's work hard, everyone.
-Of course. See you.
-See you.
Lieutenant.
Do you know if any of your colleagues
witnessed Kyung-wan
getting abused?
Is the human rights commission saying
it'll be hard?
I'm afraid Kyung-wan might end up
looking like a crazy guy.
With those photos alone,
we can't refute their claim that he got
those bruises during the arrest.
How can you ask her for such a favor
in this situation?
Do you want her to be ostracized
when she's back at the station?
It's not like this investigation
will go on forever.
That is true.
Forget what I said.
Please don't worry about it.
-I'll see you later.
-See you.
By the way, it's strange.
Ms. Choi would never miss work
because of family matters.
Do you miss her?
Cut it out.
Gosh, no way.
Please go ahead if there's anything
you'd like to say.
How did you and Moo-sung Park meet?
When was the last time you saw him?
You said I can say what I want to say.
Whether her name is Min-ah Kwon
or Ga-young Kim, I don't know her.
I've never seen her.
Please sit down.
Did Moo-sung Park ever threaten you?
Why do you keep talking
about that dead man?
Because he's dead.
Sit down, please.
Did you
summon me to dump everything on me?
Will you accuse me of killing him
because you don't have
enough evidence to link me with that girl?
Shall I list my alibis?
Detective Jang saw you at the station
when Moo-sung Park was killed.
With the Ga-young Kim case,
your driver confirmed dropping you off
at your place.
Why did you snoop around
and check my alibis?
Do you realize what you have done?
I'm a husband and a father.
Because of what you have done,
I'm like a dead person
to my wife and children.
You're also accusing me
of killing someone now?
You think I'm a murderer?
We're okay here.
This is all you need to hear from me.
Listen up.
I don't know that girl who was found
at Moo-sung Park's house.
I've never even touched her.
If you continue to deny it,
we'll have no choice
but to disclose all of these photos.
Please admit it
and apologize.
That's the last thing I can do for
That is
the last thing you can do
for the democratic
and civilian police
as well as for our colleagues
at Yongsan Police Station.
Please do it for us, sir.
Please come with us.
The washroom.
Pardon me?
I need to use the washroom.
Oh, sure. This way, please.
I'll wait outside, sir.
When you're done
I need to ask you for a favor.
What What is this about?
These are fake, right?
These must've been manipulated.
Did Prosecutor Hwang give you these?
They must be
from the security camera footage.
I'm not asking you to steal it
or to delete the file for me.
Please. Just get me a copy.
No one will find out.
Forget it. I don't want to watch it.
Good call. You don't need to watch it
with your own eyes.
I have to go to Hannam-dong.
Wait, Lieutenant.
I haven't seen you two together
in quite a while.
Both troublemakers
of the division are here.
You would've been the perfect trio
with Eun-soo here.
Gosh, you're hurting my feelings here.
Please don't count yourself out.
You're one of us troublemakers too.
Do you ever get disheartened?
Being on TV like that
must've been mortifying.
Your face was on TV too.
Don't forget, we were both investigated.
There were so many comments
about my handsome face though.
Good for you.
Tell us what you know.
There are things that I heard
directly from Mr. Park.
The 800 million won was his money.
We know that.
Mr. Young returned the money.
We know that too.
He told me that Chairman Lee
asked him to do it.
Do you know what Mr. Park did
to lure Mr. Lee out?
He wanted to get jobs
from Hanjo Construction
but had no funds to circulate.
So he ended up
Keep it short. So what happened?
Chairman Lee's executive assistant,
Mr. Woo, got in touch with him.
To a chairman of such a conglomerate,
800 million won must be nothing.
Why did he have to use Mr. Park?
He must've wanted to get
Mr. Park involved. It's obvious.
He knew everything
about what his son-in-law was up to,
and he used it to hit his Achilles' heel.
Mr. Lee was able to have some fun
behind his wife's back thanks to Mr. Park,
and Chairman Lee knew everything.
I'm not sure why, but Chairman Lee
wanted to push out Mr. Young,
and he needed Mr. Lee on his side.
The man who knew exactly what kind of fun
he had been having
was right beside his father-in-law
who intimidates him.
So are you saying Mr. Lee had to listen
to his father-in-law
and strike against Mr. Young
because of that weakness of his?
Mr. Young was like a father to Mr. Lee.
Are you sure Moo-sung Park
provided Mr. Lee with women?
Of course. Is that even a question?
Do I have to see it to know that?
If that's true,
why did Yun-beom Lee
have to get rid of Mr. Young
and why did he have to use
his son-in-law to do that?
Mr. Kang.
You must know something.
No, I don't. Don't pressure me.
Hanjo Distribution.
You've heard of it, right?
Oh, that company.
Mr. Park invested everything he had
in that company's stocks,
and that became tens of billions of won.
Mr. Park spent 1,4 billion won
on the company's stocks.
But that turned into 19 billion won
overnight after the company went public.
He must've been thrilled, right?
But the Financial Supervisory Service
ruined his excitement.
"You jerk, isn't this illegal?
You must've bought the stocks with a loan
as you knew about them going public."
Saying things like that,
they tried to make him talk.
That was when
he was getting jobs from Hanjo,
so it was clearly an insider trading.
-So did Mr. Park disclose anything?
-No.
I sound like a financial expert right now,
so don't butt in.
Everyone knows this story.
What about this one?
Hanjo Group protected Mr. Park
from FSS back then.
No, that's not what happened.
Mr. Park said he won all public officials
over to his side.
Hey, do you think those at FSS
are some clueless punks?
Mr. Park wouldn't have been able
to influence them.
I bet you don't know this either.
Yun-beom Lee's children also owned
a lot of the company's stocks.
Is the information on how much
Mr. Lee's wife invested also available?
No, but I acquired it.
She invested 1,5 billion won,
and her half-brother invested
3,5 billion won.
MOO-SUNG PARK OWNS STOCK OF 19 BILLION WON
FROM HANJO CONSTRUCTION.
But how is this connected
to Mr. Young's bribery case?
I don't know that either.
Mr. Park never told me about it,
which I thought was strange.
Mr. Kang, did you hear anything
from Mr. Young?
He must've been framed like that
because he knows something.
He didn't tell me anything.
But they only invested 3,5
and 1,5 billion won when their father
is the chairman of one of the biggest
conglomerates in Korea.
How petty.
Gosh, it's five billion won together.
Do you think that's petty?
How freehanded are you?
Yes.
Go where?
Breaking news.
Former chief prosecutor, Chang-jun Lee,
has been appointed
as the president's chief secretary.
The Blue House just held a briefing
at Choonchoogwan
to announce the appointment
of the new president's chief secretary,
Chang-jun Lee,
who is the former chief prosecutor
of Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office.
Until just recently, Chang-jun Lee
used to be the deputy chief prosecutor
at Western Seoul Prosecutors' Office
I didn't expect this at all.
How can it unfold like this?
Yes, I'll leave now.
The entire criminal division is going
to see him to congratulate him.
-I'll do it another time.
-Why?
I have to take care of something.
All right. Get going.
FORMER CHIEF PROSECUTOR CHANG-JUN LEE
Former Chief Prosecutor Lee
Appointed as Chief Secretary
Can you trust him?
I have no choice.
I won't stop at a tip of the iceberg
like Moo-sung Park.
I'm not married to a rich family,
so I don't know anyone
other than Mr. Seo
whom I can send to Hanjo.
What if he's just saying he spoke
to Chairman Lee? Do you buy it?
He went straight to Hanjo
from the hospital.
He was there for a while,
so I think he met him.
Even the President can't control
Chairman Lee.
Am I supposed to stop you or support you?
Please hold off on firing Mr. Seo
for the time being.
He should be dismissed
from the entire prosecution.
He'll be arrested.
Please hold it off until then.
Let's go. Everyone is already
at the parking lot.
Mr. Kang.
Don't you think Yun-beom Lee
must've first heard about Moo-sung Park
when he invested in the company's stocks?
Moo-sung Park was the biggest
shareholder after his children.
I'll look into it more.
You're so determined.
I should give you that much support.
-Mr. Yoon is doing a good job, right?
-Yes.
Treat him well. He's a nice guy.
What should I do to treat him well?
Had someone else asked me that question,
I would've assumed he was acting up.
The way you say it sounds like
you really want to treat him well.
Just treat him like that.
Wanting to treat him well
will help you figure out how to do it.
Okay.
You should treat me well too, you jerk.
Yes, sir.
Gosh, people are so quick to act
at times like this.
His letter of appointment just got printed
and look at the fuss they make
on congratulating him.
Ma'am.
Someone from the police is here.
What should I do?

Thank you for trusting me

This is a gift from Chief Woo-gyun Kim

Thank you.
This is from the original footage.
Shall I expose who was in the room

You won't be able to go abroad
for a while.
It's a request from the prosecution.
Please confirm, sir.
-Tell them that's not going to happen.
-Prohibition of departure?
Nobody would've known
if it weren't for that scum.
His wife is charged with murder.
But, he's not curious about
who she might've killed and why?
-Come work for me.
-It's working itself out.
Chairman Lee is up to something.
Please try to recall.
Anything would be great.
You need to remember as soon as possible.
