FINAL EPISODE
Hyun, we have a guest.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
My job doesn't pay much,
and I'd worked overnight for a few days.
I really messed up.
You were drunk.
You ran away to hide
that you were drunk driving.
They were trapped
and asked you to save them.
Look, kid.
I just dozed off.
I'll come back another time.
Liar. I smelled the alcohol.
I know what that stench was.
-Please stop!
-You were drunk driving!
You killed my mom and dad!
Say you killed them!
-Let go!
-Say it!
-Say it!
-Hurry and go.
Bring my mom and dad back!
Bring them back!
Mom
COUR
PUNISH THE DRUNK DRIVER
How do you feel about this?
Please give us a word.
Could you give us a comment?
She left the car there and disappeared.
Then, she reappeared two days later.
Alcohol can't be detected
after 20 hours, so she wasn't tested.
There was a DUI checkpoint
near the scene that day.
Look. The plate numbers are the same.
I think she hit our car
while trying to avoid the checkpoint.
How did you find all of this, kid?
-Good job with the dashcam footage.
-Well, thanks.
But what's certain is
I definitely smelled alcohol.
After the accident,
she removed the memory card
from our dashcam.
She even checked if we were all dead.
And she reeked of alcohol.
I swear. It was drunk driving.
You worked so hard.
I hope I can bring you good news.
Thank you for listening to me though.
I mean it.
You're the only one
who's heard me out.
Thank you.
REDEPLOYMEN
KIM MU-CHAN
Sir.
I got the car accident victim's statement.
Want to see?
Sure. I'll be waiting for it.
Why is Violent Crimes on a traffic case?
It was a waste of time.
There's no actual evidence.
Hey, this is because of your incompetence.
If you can't even listen, just quit.
Get your act together.
Bring me the statements by today.
Yes, sir.
Here's the beer!
-Here.
-Thanks.
Let's drink.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Bottoms up.
-Bottoms up?
So refreshing.
That really hit the spot.
Hey, you said
you'd never play hooky again.
Hyun.
Can you be a killer instead of a cop?
You always ask me to do weird stuff.
Cops can't get revenge on her.
I can't stand seeing her
enjoy her life. I want to kill her.
Forget it.
The best revenge is to have happy lives.
I'll become a great cop,
so there won't be any victims like us.
I'll listen to people
and see investigations through.
A great cop catches criminals.
Listening isn't enough.
Listening to people
is very comforting to them.
Fine. Go ahead and be a cop.
Just don't do anything risky.
We weren't born at the same time,
but we promised to die together.
Don't forget that.
Well, we don't have to do that.
I'll pass. You live a long life,
and I'll take care of myself.
You scratch your scar
when you're uncomfortable.
We're not going to die together?
That's something humans can't control.
Let's live our own lives.
Hyun!
THE KILLING VOTE
Kill Kwon Seok-joo.
We can take him alive. Give us more time.
There are two of them.
What if they detonate a bomb?
Kill them before it's too late.
Let me ask you one thing.
Is this order
coming from police executives
without the same external pressures
that bound Lieutenant Choi
eight years ago?
Are you certain this decision
wasn't made out of self-interest?
Thank you for your answer, Commissioner.
Change of plans.
We're negotiating with Kwon.
-I'll do it myself.
-What? Negotiate?
We found booby traps
inside the wall and at the entrance.
Kwon and Park. You're surrounded.
-Darn it.
-I'm coming to you now. I'm unarmed.
Let's talk it out.
This has gone far enough.
Let's not cause any more casualties.
They're already here.
Are you going to let it end like this?
When his daughter
was murdered eight years ago,
the cops knew Lee Min-soo was
-Ji-hoon.
-Professor.
The police are watching
every move you make.
Turn yourselves in.
Ji-hoon's using Lee's computer
to stream through our agency's server.
I'll catch up with him soon,
so hang in there.
You said they're coming here.
What's the problem?
Min's offered a bounty on his head.
If they catch him, he'll be in danger.
Secure those two as fast as you can.
My father's going to take his own life.
But why does he have to?
Those who destroyed our happiness
never paid for what they did.
Why is it always
the righteous people
who are strict with themselves?
Please call Lieutenant Joo.
I must tell her something.
Holy cow, 200 million?
We could buy new motorbikes with that.
This sounds awesome.
Let's go, guys.
I got my GED thanks to the professor.
I'm now studying for the SATs.
He's a good man.
I'll support him until the end.
I won't cast a vote.
-Should we vote?
-Gaetal's been wronged.
-I feel bad. I won't vote.
-I'm voting. He did kill them.
-He wants to die.
-Still, it's not right.
-I'm against this.
-I'm not.
-I'm not voting.
-Me neither.
DO YOU VOTE "YES" OR "NO"?
These sons of
Step on it!
I'll go alone.
-Take out the booby traps.
-Yes, sir.
I ABSTAIN
Ma'am, the entire nation is watching,
and Kim Mu-chan
won't listen to me anymore.
That criminal planted a bomb.
And you let Kim get in the way?
If this gets out,
you think you can handle it?
Give me some time.
I will deal with this.
If no one's on site to take charge,
then go there yourself.
Go and shoot him.
At least earn what I paid you for.
Shoot and kill Kwon!
I said kill him! Kill him!
Kill him!
VOTING WILL CLOSE
VOTING HAS CLOSED
Please.
MAJORITY ABSTAINS SO VOTE IS CANCELED
The vote has ended.
Most people abstained, so it's canceled.
VOTE IS CANCELED
You need to make a decision.
Stick to the plan.
Sang-jae!
Yes, we're fine.
An animal must have passed by.
How can I leave you here?
That doesn't change what I must do.
This has always been my plan.
Then, let me take over.
The Killing Vote's program.
Let me have it.
I should keep it to carry out your wishes.
People were moved by what you said, right?
I should tell Hyun about this.
I still need to go to my father
and stop him from hurting himself.
NUMBER THREE
Number Three turned off his phone.
We can't track him.
I know his general area, so I'm going.
-Ji-hoon.
-Grandma.
I thought you were arrested.
Where are you?
That's right. I'm in a cell now.
They let me call you.
I'm so sorry.
You were made to carry
this burden because of us adults.
It's okay to stop now.
Min's sister promised to protect you.
And the cops found out
where the Professor is.
Do you think
he'll be okay then?
Yes, he will.
Let's pay for our mistakes
and move on with our lives.
I won't ask you to go off alone again.
Okay.
I'll see you soon
Grandma.
Let's go see Hyun.
I'll turn myself in.
Okay.
Ji-hoon will turn himself in.
Please keep your promise and protect him.
Of course.
I'll do my best.
He disconnected when the stream ended,
but I've located him.
It's the bus stop by Mirim Station.
Stay back. Don't come closer!
Darn it.
Darn it.
Kwon is calling.
He wants me to put you
through to him. Should I?
Do it.
Kim Mu-chan.
You came much sooner than I expected.
I almost changed my plan.
I know what you're thinking.
And that's not the best decision.
It won't make you look regretful.
I don't regret what I did.
I'm taking responsibility for my actions
that violated the social norms.
Don't run away like this!
It'll only make things harder
for those left behind.
I left evidence showing
that I threatened Ji-hoon
so he was forced to help me.
My college friend and lawyer, Kang,
will defend him and Ms. Yang.
But first, call off the APB on him.
If you saw what Ji-hoon did today,
then you'd know how much
leaving him behind would hurt him.
But you're still going to insist?
He'll get over it.
He's strong.
I wish
we had never met.
You should wait to see Min
face the consequences.
Then, it'll really be over.
After calling out for justice,
you can't let this be the end.
So
Seok-joo?
Are you there?
Na-rae.
Seok-joo!
No!
Seok-joo!
Sang-jae!
Seok-joo! Wake up.
CONNECTION FAILED
Jjoo.
He was definitely here, but
Gosh, I don't feel good about this.
Me too.
Let's find them quickly.
Okay.
Hey.
Right.
This is Kim Jo-dan from the Cyber Bureau.
Bus stop number 20576.
Please check the CCTV footage.
It's urgent. Yes.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
What are you doing?
Ms. Chae, this is the police!
-Open it.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, what brings you here?
Are you okay?
-Are you hurt?
-Of course, not. Why would I be?
We saw you being abducted.
You signaled the superintendent
on the phone.
I said that because I wanted
to make up with Hyun.
He must've misunderstood.
I wasn't abducted.
It was even filmed--
I simply received
an unexpected invitation, okay?
Anyway, since the director came for me,
I'll get going now.
As you wish.
It was an interesting conversation.
I won't forget what you said today.
Next time you invite me,
give me a heads-up.
Wait, Ms. Chae!
THEY'RE BULLIES FROM SEORAE HIGH
HE'S WORTH 200 MILLION WON?
Nice.
Stop it!
Hello, everyone.
What you're seeing is a guy
with a handsome bounty on his head
Ta-da! Gaetal Kim Ji-hoon
is being brutally executed.
If you don't want to watch, get lost.
Stop it!
This con artist told us
to do this and that.
This damn Gaetal treated us
as if we were his slaves.
A devil who was deemed innocent.
Now, I'll give you one minute.
If you're in favor of Ji-hoon's execution,
press the like button.
Starting now.
One. Two.
-Three.
-Three.
Four.
Stop, you crazy bastard!
What are you going to do, bitch?
Butt in again?
My sister is a cop.
You'll all go to jail--
Get up.
Hit me as much as you want. I won't move.
But let Min go.
You think you're still Gaetal,
you bastard?
No!
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Please stop.
He's completely lost it.
GWANAK-GU, SEOUL
GA 2000
ONE MINUTE
45 METERS AWAY
Hey, is a gun necessary?
Those kids are Min's age.
They're not here just for the reward.
They're no ordinary kids.
Darn it.
Hey! What are you doing?
Min. Ji-hoon.
-Hyun!
-Hyun.
Min!
Die, you bastard!
No!
Ji-hoon!
Run!
Ji-hoon!
Min, are you okay?
Hold on.
Ji-hoon.
Hyun, I was going to turn myself in.
I know.
Someone's been assaulted
1 km south of Mirim Station.
The victim's been hit in the head
and he's bleeding a lot.
Please come quickly. Now!
Sir!
Come back.
It's not fair
if you die like this. Come back!
Here.
Ji-hoon.
The ambulance is coming.
Everything will be okay.
Ji-hoon!
Do you think my father is all right?
Yes. Don't talk.
That's a relief.
I'm so relieved.
Seok-joo.
Ji-hoon.
Ji-hoon?
Ji-hoon.
Ji-hoon!
You're just messing with us, right?
Kim Ji-hoon!
No!
Hyun, please do something!
No!
Damn it!
Kim Mu-chan, you bastard!
Sir.
A moment, please.
Park escaped in a car,
so we're trying to track him.
And
Kim Ji-hoon
is dead.
Ji-hoon?
Mu-chan.
Where's Ji-hoon?
-Where's my Ji-hoon?
-It's all your fault.
He worried about you until the end.
He put himself out there to save you,
knowing he'd be in danger!
You said he's your son.
What did you even gain
from dragging that poor boy into this?
What happened to my son?
Mu-chan, what happened to Ji-hoon?
A bounty was put on him,
and it led to an incident.
Is he
Is he hurt badly?
Is Ji-hoon
Is Ji-hoon hurt badly?
My son, Ji-hoon
Mu-chan.
No, right?
Mu-chan. I should've died, not him!
Mu-chan, why did he
Ji-hoon
Can I say goodbye one last time?
That's where I let Na-rae go.
Min
How's Min?
She hasn't said
or done anything for hours.
I've never seen her like this. I'm scared.
By the way, we caught the perpetrators.
They're bullies at Min's school.
They wanted the reward.
They also supported Gaetal.
Keep an eye on Min.
And inform the superintendent.
-I'm heading there now.
-Okay. Stay safe.
If I had just accepted Na-rae's death,
I wouldn't have lost Ji-hoon too.
I've made everyone miserable.
We should've caught Lee back then.
I knew my method was wrong,
but I was so desperate to catch him.
You went down the wrong path,
because I fabricated the evidence.
I'm sorry.
I pretended like I wasn't,
but I was always sorry.
I know.
There were times
when I resented you the most,
but I actually hated
our society and country.
I just wanted to show people
how strict and proper punishment
could be so comforting to the victims.
There is something
I want you to keep for me.
Professor!
Professor Kwon!
Don't move, Kim Mu-chan.
Let's not shed more blood.
If you let me and him go,
no one will get hurt.
He took my gun.
I already shot one bullet.
Did you hear me?
I said let's not shed any more blood.
Professor, come over here.
There won't be any hostage exchange.
Drop the gun or you'll die!
Everything's ruined anyway.
Let's all die here then.
You think I'm joking?
Drop the gun, Kim Mu-chan.
I said drop the gun, bastard!
Drop it!
Move. Get away from him.
Let's not risk any lives here.
He's not here to save me.
Right?
Why did you break your promise?
You had to sacrifice yourself at the end.
We agreed your blood
would change the world.
So why?
-Why spare your life?
-I won't make excuses.
I'll help you.
I'll help you become a martyr.
-So come here.
-Don't go.
You're right.
Stop!
My only successor
is you, Chul-min.
Now, use this to make
the world you dream of.
Sir!
Hyun, what happened?
Spread out!
-Check that side too.
-Have you seen this person?
Have you seen him?
-No.
-No.
NAMBU POLICE AGENCY
The Killing Vote case,
which had shaken the nation
for the past six months,
has been closed due to the deaths
of the main suspects.
The developer
of the Killing Vote program, Kim Ji-hoon,
was killed by members
of a criminal organization
hired by Kwon, the mastermind,
as revealed by his last stream,
CCTV footage, and video clips.
The motive was to stop Kim Ji-hoon
from surrendering and to conceal evidence.
In addition to the main suspect,
Jung and Park were also killed.
And Yang is under investigation.
We're still investigating
those who aided and abetted
with their votes.
We acknowledge that this case
is in the spotlight,
and we'll do our best
to investigate the suspects. Thank you.
You're not taking questions?
-Sir!
-Excuse me, sir!
Please answer our questions!
What in the world?
You're not covering this?
The case was wrapped perfectly.
What he said is so far from the truth
that it's not worth covering.
I'm killing it.
Says the one who blew this up the most.
What deal did you make with Min?
Why lie about the abduction?
What was the bribe?
Be careful with the internet.
Be it emails or comments.
Think carefully before you post
an article, because I'll dig it all up.
Bringing down the corrupt media
-will be my mission.
-Lieutenant Joo,
I've never chased money or power.
Believe it or not,
I became a reporter
to help create a better world.
But without money or power,
no one will listen
to your calls for justice.
A lesser evil will create that world.
One day, you'll grow up and realize that.
I doubt that will ever happen.
I'll always be an immature cop
who listens and stands up for the victims.
Change the world
all you want.
As if you could
actually make a difference.
Jump here.
Jump, jump.
Are you okay?
-Why are the cops here?
-I'll find out.
You can't go in.
-Move.
-Move.
Move!
I said move!
What do you think you're doing?
-Keep going.
-Yes, sir.
My subordinate forgot
to give you a notice.
Sang-jae.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
The warrant is
in your living room. Go check it.
-Let's move. It's getting late.
-Yes, sir.
Tell me why you're destroying
my house without permission.
You filed a lawsuit against the police.
We're trying to gather all we can
to defend ourselves.
If that's the reason
I'll drop the charges.
It'll cost more to fix the house.
The commissioner's visiting a temple.
I doubt you'll reach him.
And no lawyer in this country
will come to help.
Your husband
just dumped you.
CHAIRMAN LEE FILES FOR DIVORCE
Last time I was here
I missed something.
There's another column inside.
Break it down now!
Get the reagent and the lights.
Looks like we just got our trump card.
Also, Detective Choi is conscious again.
He'll testify that you bribed him to forge
and destroy evidence and aid in murder.
I think that's enough
to arrest you without a warrant.
Fine.
Now,
I've become tired of this.
Save the handcuffs.
That was the passcode for the vote.
You sure that was okay?
It was the only thing Ji-hoon left us.
It's also why he died.
I'm sure he would've wanted me to do it.
At the press conference,
Min Ji-young and Lee Min-soo
weren't even mentioned.
And Kwon Seok-joo
became a murderer
who killed his adopted son.
You saw this coming.
It had to be done so we could arrest
Min Ji-young without a warrant.
Showing our weakness
didn't help with the investigation.
I had to compromise with the higher-ups
to bring my team to the RIU.
Once again,
you screwed Kwon Seok-joo over.
Like when you fabricated the evidence.
I'm trying to give him what he wanted.
We got the evidence to arrest Min.
With Jin-soo's testimony,
that's conspiracy for sure.
You're wrong.
Kwon Seok-joo didn't just want
to bring Min Ji-young down.
You still don't get it.
I appreciate your offer to join the RIU,
but I'll go back to HQ.
Thank you for everything.
Didn't you want
to work cases like a real cop?
ONE YEAR LATER
How could you let
your work pile up like this?
How many times
have I told you? Am I wrong?
Should I go on? Because I can.
-Will you please do your job?
-Come on.
You said you wanted to work.
One year ago, you said you weren't sure
if you were a cop or a contractor.
Now, look at you!
You're not an outsider anymore.
You're the ace of our team.
Look at you shine.
People will get the wrong idea.
They'll think I'm the captain now,
because I work here all the time.
Come on, Jjoo.
What can we do? You're just too good.
So many people come to me these days
asking me to set them up with you.
There will be information sharing events
in Japan and Singapore,
and the commissioner wants to send you--
Gosh, is there
a loud bird here? I can't work.
Somebody is distracting me.
You're a bird, I'm a bird
Distracting, distracting
Rear entrances
intentionally made for computers
are called backdoors.
Since they're hard to detect,
we often don't realize
how common they are.
But they can be found in dashcams
and home security cameras,
which seem trivial
but are found everywhere.
Gaetal used this method
to transmit his videos to everyone.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Since you mentioned Gaetal,
both hidden apps and backdoors
sound illegal to me.
So was Gaetal's justice in the right?
That case is closed,
so I have nothing to say about it.
Look who I found. Kim Jo-dan.
Goodness, my poor eyes.
What a huge transformation.
I grew up without a father,
so Lieutenant Choi is like a dad,
an uncle, and a brother to me.
I heard my innocent
and hard-working Yoon-ji was seeing you,
so I haven't been able to sleep.
You almost took the big sleep,
so maybe you can cut back on it--
Hey, you brat.
I'm going to give you a test.
-Do you think it's enough?
-Thank you.
I love the way you eat.
You added the spicy sauce.
-Extra spicy sauce?
-Yes.
I hear you can't handle spice.
Yoon-ji loves it.
If you really love her,
you can adapt to her tastes. Go on.
Sure.
Can we order extra cheese?
-Break up.
-No, I can do this.
I can eat it.
-Jjoo is here!
-Hello, Lieutenant.
I'll eat the spicy food for him.
Please give them your blessing.
-Give it.
-Okay.
This is amazing.
It's so good, I could eat it every day.
That's cheating.
If you're like a father to Yoon-ji,
he's like my family.
I played a significant role
in turning him into a decent person.
-Mom.
-I'm not your mom.
No?
And we can order half spicy and half mild.
You like him that much?
He passed.
I'll hug her for a moment.
Thank you!
What's this?
SALE AT JAESANG MAR
They're having a sale.
-Right.
-They are.
Mine's spam too.
Right.
I had no idea dating a human
would be so hard.
But I passed thanks to you.
I love you, my colleague.
Right.
What is it?
-Explain this.
-What on earth?
If I'd met you then,
I wouldn't be your friend now.
I must've been pretty sick.
I asked them several times to remove that.
I'll send it to Yoon-ji.
What's wrong with you? That's violating
my privacy and likeness rights.
You never won first place though.
-Who won first place?
-I don't know. I never saw them.
Mystery X. A hacker loved by hackers.
The skilled ones leave
their signature file when they hack.
I haven't seen them in a while though.
I do remember their file name.
It started with L-R-A-E
Why is this text file so big?
-Na-rae?
-What?
What?
Why did they make it unreadable?
I know, right?
Happy birthday, Ji-hoon.
I tried serving justice again
and Hyun got so mad.
I got into college!
I saw someone who looked like you.
I turned 20 today.
We promised to have
our first drink together.
KIM JI-HOON: HI, MIN
KIM JI-HOON
Hi, Min.
Where did he learn to do this?
I bet you said,
"Where did he learn to do this?"
I saw that coming.
Happy 20th birthday, Min.
Seeing you kept making me smile,
so I didn't like it, but I was happy.
If I'm next to you right now,
could you smile and tell me
you got my message?
I probably won't be able to
keep my promise
-for the first drink.
-Cheers!
I've done some bad things in life.
But Min, with you
I want to be honest.
I'm actually
very scared.
Rather than change the world,
I'd just wanted to say I loved my sister.
I don't know how it came to this.
If there ever was
a bright moment in my 19 years,
it was because I was with you.
I'm sorry,
and thank you.
P.S. Don't date a guy
who leaves you on read.
JI-HOON
GAETAL SUSPECT MISSING FOR SIXTH DAY
SEARCH AREA EXPANDED
TETRAPODS OF DEATH
BODY OF MAN IN 30S FOUND
It was you.
Are you sure you want to quit like this?
I'm too ashamed to continue as a cop.
I should be thankful
I didn't lose my pension
since you let my betrayal slide.
You saved my life. We're even now.
Forget about Min Ji-young.
She got away with it
even after I testified.
I heard the secretary
who took the fall for her died in jail.
Stop wasting your life on that
and go after someone worse.
Someone big.
Why must I fight against my own people
to catch the big ones?
The closer I get to the core,
the more I ask myself,
"Is this right?"
Organizations are like that.
This may sound funny,
but I understand Kwon Seok-joo better now.
Once you realize
your beliefs can fall apart,
you can't live the same life.
But I believe in you.
You can change things.
Gradually, step by step.
You should eat a lot to grow taller.
Can you eat spicy food?
Good.
Sir, it's okay to eat slowly.
With every bite, what was it?
"Let's be healthy."
Let's be healthy.
The same goes for you.
What will you do for us?
Well, to send you doctors
immediately when you're ill,
I'll make the government pay up.
That sounds great!
You should become the president.
Goodness, sir.
I have a fear of heights,
so I can't climb that high!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Whenever I volunteer, you're always there.
It's been almost nine years,
but you've changed so much
I didn't recognize you at first.
Have we met before?
I was a lawyer before.
I often saw you at court
during your son's trial.
I'm sure you didn't know me, but--
Wait.
I don't want to talk about him.
I have only one regret
regarding that incident.
As his mother, I should've made him
turn himself in sooner, but I hesitated.
I'm sorry. I wanted to ask
why you supported rights
for the culprit's family.
I'm sharing my sadness
with those in the same situation.
That's all.
"Devils who were deemed innocent."
I was Professor Kwon's public defender
nine years ago.
All I wanted to say was
that you should be considerate
to the victims and their families
while you share their sadness.
That's all.
If you forgot why he had to
wear that mask
it would be a shame.
Interesting.
We need a new hire.
So far, I've only made
a code to start the program.
Most hackers failed to do this.
You're different.
I like you.
We can move to the next step.
Can you find a way to connect
with every citizen in this country?
You must be mistaken.
I'm the one who decides
the rules of the game.
If it's boring and pointless,
I won't even start it.
I heard even those who conquer
the world don't get much support.
I think if we help each other a bit,
we could take over the country.
Does that sound boring?
Why don't we test our skills
before we team up?
-Fine, then.
-And who's the target?
First, I want my position back.
Go to the next screen.
ASSEMBLYMAN KANG JI-SEOK
What do you think is the worst thing
that can happen to a man with a daughter?
Whatever it is, it won't be boring.

LIGHTING PATTERN
I love this. I'm going with this one.
Awesome. I like this.
What?
That little
Min.
Who said you can change the lights?
What about my preferences?
What? We have the same tastes.
I never pick bad patterns.
Anyway, you can drive after 100 days.
This car is brand-new,
and you're inexperienced.
You said we could share.
You can't go back on your word.
There's somewhere I need to be.
-Come on out.
-No.
-Come on.
-I was here first.
Get out. It's raining.
But I told my friend I'd come in this car.
Students should ride bigger vehicles.
I see many buses and trains there. Bye.
Hey!
Hyun!
Give me money!
Darn it.
3 HA 1 0887
How have you been?
I couldn't die, so I'm alive.
I'm just surviving.
Joking around like this
helps me get through each day
and not think too much about Ji-hoon.
Do you really believe
that Kwon Seok-joo is dead?
He hasn't shown signs of life,
but his body wasn't found.
So sometimes, I think
he may still be alive.
As long as there are loopholes in our law,
there will always be someone
to replace Professor Kwon.
In that case,
we can say he's still alive.
I really owe you big time.
It's been a while since I've been out,
so I never heard of bail bonds.
You got yourself into trouble
as soon as you got out.
Posting bail won't reduce the sentence.
You have to make the judge believe
that you're deeply regretful.
So don't feel reassured yet.
I'll take care of all the paperwork.
You just stay away from the victim
and keep writing letters.
If you listen to me,
I'll get you probation.
I'll read the Bible and pray every day.
You're doing well enough.
-You traveled a long way, right?
-Yes.
KIM MU-CHAN
It's been a while.
Yeah, I needed to get
some forensic analysis done.
Jo-dan told me you were doing well.
I'm the ace of our team now.
In addition to working
cases like a real cop,
I do all kinds of chores,
like lecturing and entertaining guests.
And still a whistleblower.
I heard you cracked the case
that the narcotics team
had been working on for a year.
You even caught all the dealers.
Right.
So what's the problem?
You really haven't changed at all.
I wanted to ask you something.
Kwon said he filed a petition
for Ji-hoon, but I couldn't find anything.
You know anything about it?
I don't know. I've never heard about it.
I see.
Please let me know
if you hear anything about this.
Okay.
I'll get going.
Sir.
Do you think
Kwon Seok-joo is still alive?
No.
I hope not.
He could use some rest now.
NATIONAL OFFICE OF INVESTIGATION
DEAR LIEUTENANT JOO HYUN
In a kindergarten,
students from one class
beat another child.
The child cried out loud,
but the teacher didn't tell
the principal about it.
The principal says
their kindergarten is always peaceful.
I think the principal
is the worst person in this kindergarten.
I was once the principal,
and now, I'm the beaten child.
All Ji-hoon did was report
that I'd been beaten.
Not once has he committed a crime.
He's just a poor boy
brainwashed into believing
that I'd become his family.
I sincerely plead for leniency.
You can't, sir.
No
You sold out
your colleagues to avoid jail.
And now you're doing crime consulting?
If you want to talk,
do it during the day at the station.
I have committed crimes,
and I'd kill them again if I could.
But I've never thought I was innocent.
I don't want my actions
to be seen as irrational either.
Because what I've done was not revenge.
It was punishment.

THERE'S AN UPDATE ABOUT THE MAN YOU
I'll go.
I have a reason to go now.
I don't know who it will be,
but there will definitely be
another Gaetal.
To bring down the hell
we're living in by even an inch
To catch the devils
who were deemed innocent.
Hello, my fellow citizens.

FINAL EPISODE
Hyun, we have a guest.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
My job doesn't pay much,
and I'd worked overnight for a few days.
I really messed up.
You were drunk.
You ran away to hide
that you were drunk driving.
They were trapped
and asked you to save them.
Look, kid.
I just dozed off.
I'll come back another time.
Liar. I smelled the alcohol.
I know what that stench was.
-Please stop!
-You were drunk driving!
You killed my mom and dad!
Say you killed them!
-Let go!
-Say it!
-Say it!
-Hurry and go.
Bring my mom and dad back!
Bring them back!
Mom
COUR
PUNISH THE DRUNK DRIVER
How do you feel about this?
Please give us a word.
Could you give us a comment?
She left the car there and disappeared.
Then, she reappeared two days later.
Alcohol can't be detected
after 20 hours, so she wasn't tested.
There was a DUI checkpoint
near the scene that day.
Look. The plate numbers are the same.
I think she hit our car
while trying to avoid the checkpoint.
How did you find all of this, kid?
-Good job with the dashcam footage.
-Well, thanks.
But what's certain is
I definitely smelled alcohol.
After the accident,
she removed the memory card
from our dashcam.
She even checked if we were all dead.
And she reeked of alcohol.
I swear. It was drunk driving.
You worked so hard.
I hope I can bring you good news.
Thank you for listening to me though.
I mean it.
You're the only one
who's heard me out.
Thank you.
REDEPLOYMEN
KIM MU-CHAN
Sir.
I got the car accident victim's statement.
Want to see?
Sure. I'll be waiting for it.
Why is Violent Crimes on a traffic case?
It was a waste of time.
There's no actual evidence.
Hey, this is because of your incompetence.
If you can't even listen, just quit.
Get your act together.
Bring me the statements by today.
Yes, sir.
Here's the beer!
-Here.
-Thanks.
Let's drink.
-Cheers.
-Cheers.
-Bottoms up.
-Bottoms up?
So refreshing.
That really hit the spot.
Hey, you said
you'd never play hooky again.
Hyun.
Can you be a killer instead of a cop?
You always ask me to do weird stuff.
Cops can't get revenge on her.
I can't stand seeing her
enjoy her life. I want to kill her.
Forget it.
The best revenge is to have happy lives.
I'll become a great cop,
so there won't be any victims like us.
I'll listen to people
and see investigations through.
A great cop catches criminals.
Listening isn't enough.
Listening to people
is very comforting to them.
Fine. Go ahead and be a cop.
Just don't do anything risky.
We weren't born at the same time,
but we promised to die together.
Don't forget that.
Well, we don't have to do that.
I'll pass. You live a long life,
and I'll take care of myself.
You scratch your scar
when you're uncomfortable.
We're not going to die together?
That's something humans can't control.
Let's live our own lives.
Hyun!
THE KILLING VOTE
Kill Kwon Seok-joo.
We can take him alive. Give us more time.
There are two of them.
What if they detonate a bomb?
Kill them before it's too late.
Let me ask you one thing.
Is this order
coming from police executives
without the same external pressures
that bound Lieutenant Choi
eight years ago?
Are you certain this decision
wasn't made out of self-interest?
Thank you for your answer, Commissioner.
Change of plans.
We're negotiating with Kwon.
-I'll do it myself.
-What? Negotiate?
We found booby traps
inside the wall and at the entrance.
Kwon and Park. You're surrounded.
-Darn it.
-I'm coming to you now. I'm unarmed.
Let's talk it out.
This has gone far enough.
Let's not cause any more casualties.
They're already here.
Are you going to let it end like this?
When his daughter
was murdered eight years ago,
the cops knew Lee Min-soo was
-Ji-hoon.
-Professor.
The police are watching
every move you make.
Turn yourselves in.
Ji-hoon's using Lee's computer
to stream through our agency's server.
I'll catch up with him soon,
so hang in there.
You said they're coming here.
What's the problem?
Min's offered a bounty on his head.
If they catch him, he'll be in danger.
Secure those two as fast as you can.
My father's going to take his own life.
But why does he have to?
Those who destroyed our happiness
never paid for what they did.
Why is it always
the righteous people
who are strict with themselves?
Please call Lieutenant Joo.
I must tell her something.
Holy cow, 200 million?
We could buy new motorbikes with that.
This sounds awesome.
Let's go, guys.
I got my GED thanks to the professor.
I'm now studying for the SATs.
He's a good man.
I'll support him until the end.
I won't cast a vote.
-Should we vote?
-Gaetal's been wronged.
-I feel bad. I won't vote.
-I'm voting. He did kill them.
-He wants to die.
-Still, it's not right.
-I'm against this.
-I'm not.
-I'm not voting.
-Me neither.
DO YOU VOTE "YES" OR "NO"?
These sons of
Step on it!
I'll go alone.
-Take out the booby traps.
-Yes, sir.
I ABSTAIN
Ma'am, the entire nation is watching,
and Kim Mu-chan
won't listen to me anymore.
That criminal planted a bomb.
And you let Kim get in the way?
If this gets out,
you think you can handle it?
Give me some time.
I will deal with this.
If no one's on site to take charge,
then go there yourself.
Go and shoot him.
At least earn what I paid you for.
Shoot and kill Kwon!
I said kill him! Kill him!
Kill him!
VOTING WILL CLOSE
VOTING HAS CLOSED
Please.
MAJORITY ABSTAINS SO VOTE IS CANCELED
The vote has ended.
Most people abstained, so it's canceled.
VOTE IS CANCELED
You need to make a decision.
Stick to the plan.
Sang-jae!
Yes, we're fine.
An animal must have passed by.
How can I leave you here?
That doesn't change what I must do.
This has always been my plan.
Then, let me take over.
The Killing Vote's program.
Let me have it.
I should keep it to carry out your wishes.
People were moved by what you said, right?
I should tell Hyun about this.
I still need to go to my father
and stop him from hurting himself.
NUMBER THREE
Number Three turned off his phone.
We can't track him.
I know his general area, so I'm going.
-Ji-hoon.
-Grandma.
I thought you were arrested.
Where are you?
That's right. I'm in a cell now.
They let me call you.
I'm so sorry.
You were made to carry
this burden because of us adults.
It's okay to stop now.
Min's sister promised to protect you.
And the cops found out
where the Professor is.
Do you think
he'll be okay then?
Yes, he will.
Let's pay for our mistakes
and move on with our lives.
I won't ask you to go off alone again.
Okay.
I'll see you soon
Grandma.
Let's go see Hyun.
I'll turn myself in.
Okay.
Ji-hoon will turn himself in.
Please keep your promise and protect him.
Of course.
I'll do my best.
He disconnected when the stream ended,
but I've located him.
It's the bus stop by Mirim Station.
Stay back. Don't come closer!
Darn it.
Darn it.
Kwon is calling.
He wants me to put you
through to him. Should I?
Do it.
Kim Mu-chan.
You came much sooner than I expected.
I almost changed my plan.
I know what you're thinking.
And that's not the best decision.
It won't make you look regretful.
I don't regret what I did.
I'm taking responsibility for my actions
that violated the social norms.
Don't run away like this!
It'll only make things harder
for those left behind.
I left evidence showing
that I threatened Ji-hoon
so he was forced to help me.
My college friend and lawyer, Kang,
will defend him and Ms. Yang.
But first, call off the APB on him.
If you saw what Ji-hoon did today,
then you'd know how much
leaving him behind would hurt him.
But you're still going to insist?
He'll get over it.
He's strong.
I wish
we had never met.
You should wait to see Min
face the consequences.
Then, it'll really be over.
After calling out for justice,
you can't let this be the end.
So
Seok-joo?
Are you there?
Na-rae.
Seok-joo!
No!
Seok-joo!
Sang-jae!
Seok-joo! Wake up.
CONNECTION FAILED
Jjoo.
He was definitely here, but
Gosh, I don't feel good about this.
Me too.
Let's find them quickly.
Okay.
Hey.
Right.
This is Kim Jo-dan from the Cyber Bureau.
Bus stop number 20576.
Please check the CCTV footage.
It's urgent. Yes.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
What are you doing?
Ms. Chae, this is the police!
-Open it.
-Yes, sir.
Sir, what brings you here?
Are you okay?
-Are you hurt?
-Of course, not. Why would I be?
We saw you being abducted.
You signaled the superintendent
on the phone.
I said that because I wanted
to make up with Hyun.
He must've misunderstood.
I wasn't abducted.
It was even filmed--
I simply received
an unexpected invitation, okay?
Anyway, since the director came for me,
I'll get going now.
As you wish.
It was an interesting conversation.
I won't forget what you said today.
Next time you invite me,
give me a heads-up.
Wait, Ms. Chae!
THEY'RE BULLIES FROM SEORAE HIGH
HE'S WORTH 200 MILLION WON?
Nice.
Stop it!
Hello, everyone.
What you're seeing is a guy
with a handsome bounty on his head
Ta-da! Gaetal Kim Ji-hoon
is being brutally executed.
If you don't want to watch, get lost.
Stop it!
This con artist told us
to do this and that.
This damn Gaetal treated us
as if we were his slaves.
A devil who was deemed innocent.
Now, I'll give you one minute.
If you're in favor of Ji-hoon's execution,
press the like button.
Starting now.
One. Two.
-Three.
-Three.
Four.
Stop, you crazy bastard!
What are you going to do, bitch?
Butt in again?
My sister is a cop.
You'll all go to jail--
Get up.
Hit me as much as you want. I won't move.
But let Min go.
You think you're still Gaetal,
you bastard?
No!
Where are you going?
What are you doing?
Please stop.
He's completely lost it.
GWANAK-GU, SEOUL
GA 2000
ONE MINUTE
45 METERS AWAY
Hey, is a gun necessary?
Those kids are Min's age.
They're not here just for the reward.
They're no ordinary kids.
Darn it.
Hey! What are you doing?
Min. Ji-hoon.
-Hyun!
-Hyun.
Min!
Die, you bastard!
No!
Ji-hoon!
Run!
Ji-hoon!
Min, are you okay?
Hold on.
Ji-hoon.
Hyun, I was going to turn myself in.
I know.
Someone's been assaulted
1 km south of Mirim Station.
The victim's been hit in the head
and he's bleeding a lot.
Please come quickly. Now!
Sir!
Come back.
It's not fair
if you die like this. Come back!
Here.
Ji-hoon.
The ambulance is coming.
Everything will be okay.
Ji-hoon!
Do you think my father is all right?
Yes. Don't talk.
That's a relief.
I'm so relieved.
Seok-joo.
Ji-hoon.
Ji-hoon?
Ji-hoon.
Ji-hoon!
You're just messing with us, right?
Kim Ji-hoon!
No!
Hyun, please do something!
No!
Damn it!
Kim Mu-chan, you bastard!
Sir.
A moment, please.
Park escaped in a car,
so we're trying to track him.
And
Kim Ji-hoon
is dead.
Ji-hoon?
Mu-chan.
Where's Ji-hoon?
-Where's my Ji-hoon?
-It's all your fault.
He worried about you until the end.
He put himself out there to save you,
knowing he'd be in danger!
You said he's your son.
What did you even gain
from dragging that poor boy into this?
What happened to my son?
Mu-chan, what happened to Ji-hoon?
A bounty was put on him,
and it led to an incident.
Is he
Is he hurt badly?
Is Ji-hoon
Is Ji-hoon hurt badly?
My son, Ji-hoon
Mu-chan.
No, right?
Mu-chan. I should've died, not him!
Mu-chan, why did he
Ji-hoon
Can I say goodbye one last time?
That's where I let Na-rae go.
Min
How's Min?
She hasn't said
or done anything for hours.
I've never seen her like this. I'm scared.
By the way, we caught the perpetrators.
They're bullies at Min's school.
They wanted the reward.
They also supported Gaetal.
Keep an eye on Min.
And inform the superintendent.
-I'm heading there now.
-Okay. Stay safe.
If I had just accepted Na-rae's death,
I wouldn't have lost Ji-hoon too.
I've made everyone miserable.
We should've caught Lee back then.
I knew my method was wrong,
but I was so desperate to catch him.
You went down the wrong path,
because I fabricated the evidence.
I'm sorry.
I pretended like I wasn't,
but I was always sorry.
I know.
There were times
when I resented you the most,
but I actually hated
our society and country.
I just wanted to show people
how strict and proper punishment
could be so comforting to the victims.
There is something
I want you to keep for me.
Professor!
Professor Kwon!
Don't move, Kim Mu-chan.
Let's not shed more blood.
If you let me and him go,
no one will get hurt.
He took my gun.
I already shot one bullet.
Did you hear me?
I said let's not shed any more blood.
Professor, come over here.
There won't be any hostage exchange.
Drop the gun or you'll die!
Everything's ruined anyway.
Let's all die here then.
You think I'm joking?
Drop the gun, Kim Mu-chan.
I said drop the gun, bastard!
Drop it!
Move. Get away from him.
Let's not risk any lives here.
He's not here to save me.
Right?
Why did you break your promise?
You had to sacrifice yourself at the end.
We agreed your blood
would change the world.
So why?
-Why spare your life?
-I won't make excuses.
I'll help you.
I'll help you become a martyr.
-So come here.
-Don't go.
You're right.
Stop!
My only successor
is you, Chul-min.
Now, use this to make
the world you dream of.
Sir!
Hyun, what happened?
Spread out!
-Check that side too.
-Have you seen this person?
Have you seen him?
-No.
-No.
NAMBU POLICE AGENCY
The Killing Vote case,
which had shaken the nation
for the past six months,
has been closed due to the deaths
of the main suspects.
The developer
of the Killing Vote program, Kim Ji-hoon,
was killed by members
of a criminal organization
hired by Kwon, the mastermind,
as revealed by his last stream,
CCTV footage, and video clips.
The motive was to stop Kim Ji-hoon
from surrendering and to conceal evidence.
In addition to the main suspect,
Jung and Park were also killed.
And Yang is under investigation.
We're still investigating
those who aided and abetted
with their votes.
We acknowledge that this case
is in the spotlight,
and we'll do our best
to investigate the suspects. Thank you.
You're not taking questions?
-Sir!
-Excuse me, sir!
Please answer our questions!
What in the world?
You're not covering this?
The case was wrapped perfectly.
What he said is so far from the truth
that it's not worth covering.
I'm killing it.
Says the one who blew this up the most.
What deal did you make with Min?
Why lie about the abduction?
What was the bribe?
Be careful with the internet.
Be it emails or comments.
Think carefully before you post
an article, because I'll dig it all up.
Bringing down the corrupt media
-will be my mission.
-Lieutenant Joo,
I've never chased money or power.
Believe it or not,
I became a reporter
to help create a better world.
But without money or power,
no one will listen
to your calls for justice.
A lesser evil will create that world.
One day, you'll grow up and realize that.
I doubt that will ever happen.
I'll always be an immature cop
who listens and stands up for the victims.
Change the world
all you want.
As if you could
actually make a difference.
Jump here.
Jump, jump.
Are you okay?
-Why are the cops here?
-I'll find out.
You can't go in.
-Move.
-Move.
Move!
I said move!
What do you think you're doing?
-Keep going.
-Yes, sir.
My subordinate forgot
to give you a notice.
Sang-jae.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
The warrant is
in your living room. Go check it.
-Let's move. It's getting late.
-Yes, sir.
Tell me why you're destroying
my house without permission.
You filed a lawsuit against the police.
We're trying to gather all we can
to defend ourselves.
If that's the reason
I'll drop the charges.
It'll cost more to fix the house.
The commissioner's visiting a temple.
I doubt you'll reach him.
And no lawyer in this country
will come to help.
Your husband
just dumped you.
CHAIRMAN LEE FILES FOR DIVORCE
Last time I was here
I missed something.
There's another column inside.
Break it down now!
Get the reagent and the lights.
Looks like we just got our trump card.
Also, Detective Choi is conscious again.
He'll testify that you bribed him to forge
and destroy evidence and aid in murder.
I think that's enough
to arrest you without a warrant.
Fine.
Now,
I've become tired of this.
Save the handcuffs.
That was the passcode for the vote.
You sure that was okay?
It was the only thing Ji-hoon left us.
It's also why he died.
I'm sure he would've wanted me to do it.
At the press conference,
Min Ji-young and Lee Min-soo
weren't even mentioned.
And Kwon Seok-joo
became a murderer
who killed his adopted son.
You saw this coming.
It had to be done so we could arrest
Min Ji-young without a warrant.
Showing our weakness
didn't help with the investigation.
I had to compromise with the higher-ups
to bring my team to the RIU.
Once again,
you screwed Kwon Seok-joo over.
Like when you fabricated the evidence.
I'm trying to give him what he wanted.
We got the evidence to arrest Min.
With Jin-soo's testimony,
that's conspiracy for sure.
You're wrong.
Kwon Seok-joo didn't just want
to bring Min Ji-young down.
You still don't get it.
I appreciate your offer to join the RIU,
but I'll go back to HQ.
Thank you for everything.
Didn't you want
to work cases like a real cop?
ONE YEAR LATER
How could you let
your work pile up like this?
How many times
have I told you? Am I wrong?
Should I go on? Because I can.
-Will you please do your job?
-Come on.
You said you wanted to work.
One year ago, you said you weren't sure
if you were a cop or a contractor.
Now, look at you!
You're not an outsider anymore.
You're the ace of our team.
Look at you shine.
People will get the wrong idea.
They'll think I'm the captain now,
because I work here all the time.
Come on, Jjoo.
What can we do? You're just too good.
So many people come to me these days
asking me to set them up with you.
There will be information sharing events
in Japan and Singapore,
and the commissioner wants to send you--
Gosh, is there
a loud bird here? I can't work.
Somebody is distracting me.
You're a bird, I'm a bird
Distracting, distracting
Rear entrances
intentionally made for computers
are called backdoors.
Since they're hard to detect,
we often don't realize
how common they are.
But they can be found in dashcams
and home security cameras,
which seem trivial
but are found everywhere.
Gaetal used this method
to transmit his videos to everyone.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Since you mentioned Gaetal,
both hidden apps and backdoors
sound illegal to me.
So was Gaetal's justice in the right?
That case is closed,
so I have nothing to say about it.
Look who I found. Kim Jo-dan.
Goodness, my poor eyes.
What a huge transformation.
I grew up without a father,
so Lieutenant Choi is like a dad,
an uncle, and a brother to me.
I heard my innocent
and hard-working Yoon-ji was seeing you,
so I haven't been able to sleep.
You almost took the big sleep,
so maybe you can cut back on it--
Hey, you brat.
I'm going to give you a test.
-Do you think it's enough?
-Thank you.
I love the way you eat.
You added the spicy sauce.
-Extra spicy sauce?
-Yes.
I hear you can't handle spice.
Yoon-ji loves it.
If you really love her,
you can adapt to her tastes. Go on.
Sure.
Can we order extra cheese?
-Break up.
-No, I can do this.
I can eat it.
-Jjoo is here!
-Hello, Lieutenant.
I'll eat the spicy food for him.
Please give them your blessing.
-Give it.
-Okay.
This is amazing.
It's so good, I could eat it every day.
That's cheating.
If you're like a father to Yoon-ji,
he's like my family.
I played a significant role
in turning him into a decent person.
-Mom.
-I'm not your mom.
No?
And we can order half spicy and half mild.
You like him that much?
He passed.
I'll hug her for a moment.
Thank you!
What's this?
SALE AT JAESANG MAR
They're having a sale.
-Right.
-They are.
Mine's spam too.
Right.
I had no idea dating a human
would be so hard.
But I passed thanks to you.
I love you, my colleague.
Right.
What is it?
-Explain this.
-What on earth?
If I'd met you then,
I wouldn't be your friend now.
I must've been pretty sick.
I asked them several times to remove that.
I'll send it to Yoon-ji.
What's wrong with you? That's violating
my privacy and likeness rights.
You never won first place though.
-Who won first place?
-I don't know. I never saw them.
Mystery X. A hacker loved by hackers.
The skilled ones leave
their signature file when they hack.
I haven't seen them in a while though.
I do remember their file name.
It started with L-R-A-E
Why is this text file so big?
-Na-rae?
-What?
What?
Why did they make it unreadable?
I know, right?
Happy birthday, Ji-hoon.
I tried serving justice again
and Hyun got so mad.
I got into college!
I saw someone who looked like you.
I turned 20 today.
We promised to have
our first drink together.
KIM JI-HOON: HI, MIN
KIM JI-HOON
Hi, Min.
Where did he learn to do this?
I bet you said,
"Where did he learn to do this?"
I saw that coming.
Happy 20th birthday, Min.
Seeing you kept making me smile,
so I didn't like it, but I was happy.
If I'm next to you right now,
could you smile and tell me
you got my message?
I probably won't be able to
keep my promise
-for the first drink.
-Cheers!
I've done some bad things in life.
But Min, with you
I want to be honest.
I'm actually
very scared.
Rather than change the world,
I'd just wanted to say I loved my sister.
I don't know how it came to this.
If there ever was
a bright moment in my 19 years,
it was because I was with you.
I'm sorry,
and thank you.
P.S. Don't date a guy
who leaves you on read.
JI-HOON
GAETAL SUSPECT MISSING FOR SIXTH DAY
SEARCH AREA EXPANDED
TETRAPODS OF DEATH
BODY OF MAN IN 30S FOUND
It was you.
Are you sure you want to quit like this?
I'm too ashamed to continue as a cop.
I should be thankful
I didn't lose my pension
since you let my betrayal slide.
You saved my life. We're even now.
Forget about Min Ji-young.
She got away with it
even after I testified.
I heard the secretary
who took the fall for her died in jail.
Stop wasting your life on that
and go after someone worse.
Someone big.
Why must I fight against my own people
to catch the big ones?
The closer I get to the core,
the more I ask myself,
"Is this right?"
Organizations are like that.
This may sound funny,
but I understand Kwon Seok-joo better now.
Once you realize
your beliefs can fall apart,
you can't live the same life.
But I believe in you.
You can change things.
Gradually, step by step.
You should eat a lot to grow taller.
Can you eat spicy food?
Good.
Sir, it's okay to eat slowly.
With every bite, what was it?
"Let's be healthy."
Let's be healthy.
The same goes for you.
What will you do for us?
Well, to send you doctors
immediately when you're ill,
I'll make the government pay up.
That sounds great!
You should become the president.
Goodness, sir.
I have a fear of heights,
so I can't climb that high!
Thank you.
Thank you.
Whenever I volunteer, you're always there.
It's been almost nine years,
but you've changed so much
I didn't recognize you at first.
Have we met before?
I was a lawyer before.
I often saw you at court
during your son's trial.
I'm sure you didn't know me, but--
Wait.
I don't want to talk about him.
I have only one regret
regarding that incident.
As his mother, I should've made him
turn himself in sooner, but I hesitated.
I'm sorry. I wanted to ask
why you supported rights
for the culprit's family.
I'm sharing my sadness
with those in the same situation.
That's all.
"Devils who were deemed innocent."
I was Professor Kwon's public defender
nine years ago.
All I wanted to say was
that you should be considerate
to the victims and their families
while you share their sadness.
That's all.
If you forgot why he had to
wear that mask
it would be a shame.
Interesting.
We need a new hire.
So far, I've only made
a code to start the program.
Most hackers failed to do this.
You're different.
I like you.
We can move to the next step.
Can you find a way to connect
with every citizen in this country?
You must be mistaken.
I'm the one who decides
the rules of the game.
If it's boring and pointless,
I won't even start it.
I heard even those who conquer
the world don't get much support.
I think if we help each other a bit,
we could take over the country.
Does that sound boring?
Why don't we test our skills
before we team up?
-Fine, then.
-And who's the target?
First, I want my position back.
Go to the next screen.
ASSEMBLYMAN KANG JI-SEOK
What do you think is the worst thing
that can happen to a man with a daughter?
Whatever it is, it won't be boring.
LIGHTING PATTERN
DOWNLOADING PURCHASED APP
LIGHTING PATTERN
I love this. I'm going with this one.
Awesome. I like this.
What?
That little
Min.
Who said you can change the lights?
What about my preferences?
What? We have the same tastes.
I never pick bad patterns.
Anyway, you can drive after 100 days.
This car is brand-new,
and you're inexperienced.
You said we could share.
You can't go back on your word.
There's somewhere I need to be.
-Come on out.
-No.
-Come on.
-I was here first.
Get out. It's raining.
But I told my friend I'd come in this car.
Students should ride bigger vehicles.
I see many buses and trains there. Bye.
Hey!
Hyun!
Give me money!
Darn it.
3 HA 1 0887
How have you been?
I couldn't die, so I'm alive.
I'm just surviving.
Joking around like this
helps me get through each day
and not think too much about Ji-hoon.
Do you really believe
that Kwon Seok-joo is dead?
He hasn't shown signs of life,
but his body wasn't found.
So sometimes, I think
he may still be alive.
As long as there are loopholes in our law,
there will always be someone
to replace Professor Kwon.
In that case,
we can say he's still alive.
I really owe you big time.
It's been a while since I've been out,
so I never heard of bail bonds.
You got yourself into trouble
as soon as you got out.
Posting bail won't reduce the sentence.
You have to make the judge believe
that you're deeply regretful.
So don't feel reassured yet.
I'll take care of all the paperwork.
You just stay away from the victim
and keep writing letters.
If you listen to me,
I'll get you probation.
I'll read the Bible and pray every day.
You're doing well enough.
-You traveled a long way, right?
-Yes.
KIM MU-CHAN
It's been a while.
Yeah, I needed to get
some forensic analysis done.
Jo-dan told me you were doing well.
I'm the ace of our team now.
In addition to working
cases like a real cop,
I do all kinds of chores,
like lecturing and entertaining guests.
And still a whistleblower.
I heard you cracked the case
that the narcotics team
had been working on for a year.
You even caught all the dealers.
Right.
So what's the problem?
You really haven't changed at all.
I wanted to ask you something.
Kwon said he filed a petition
for Ji-hoon, but I couldn't find anything.
You know anything about it?
I don't know. I've never heard about it.
I see.
Please let me know
if you hear anything about this.
Okay.
I'll get going.
Sir.
Do you think
Kwon Seok-joo is still alive?
No.
I hope not.
He could use some rest now.
NATIONAL OFFICE OF INVESTIGATION
DEAR LIEUTENANT JOO HYUN
In a kindergarten,
students from one class
beat another child.
The child cried out loud,
but the teacher didn't tell
the principal about it.
The principal says
their kindergarten is always peaceful.
I think the principal
is the worst person in this kindergarten.
I was once the principal,
and now, I'm the beaten child.
All Ji-hoon did was report
that I'd been beaten.
Not once has he committed a crime.
He's just a poor boy
brainwashed into believing
that I'd become his family.
I sincerely plead for leniency.
You can't, sir.
No
You sold out
your colleagues to avoid jail.
And now you're doing crime consulting?
If you want to talk,
do it during the day at the station.
I have committed crimes,
and I'd kill them again if I could.
But I've never thought I was innocent.
I don't want my actions
to be seen as irrational either.
Because what I've done was not revenge.
It was punishment.
