(All locations, characters, companies,)

(and incidents in this drama
are fictitious.)

"I've been fishing near
this river all day long,"

"but all I've caught is a
minnow before calling it quits."

"Although I feel bitter,
I should let it go."

"It's not easy to catch a big fish."

"Rig your fishing line
and look up at the moon."

"The night has already befallen.
I hear an owl's hoot."

"I'm still wide-awake,
so I shall stay here for a while."

It's too much of a beautiful night
to be staring at our fishing rods.

We should also admire the rocks, the water,

and the moon.

Okay.

Even Mount Kumgang has to
wait until after you eat.

This isn't anything special,

but please have one.

Not a bad suggestion.

- Come back up.
- Fishing isn't allowed here.

- No fishing.
- This is a no-fishing zone.

- We can see you. Hurry up.
- Come on up.

- Hurry back up!
- It's slippery here.

- Be careful.
- Fishing isn't allowed here.

- You two.
- Take the trail there.

- Just come up.
- Don't try to cover it up.

- Hurry.
- Just come on up, please.

- Hey, be careful.
- Come up carefully.

- What?
- You can't enter this area.

Just come up first.

- Stalling us isn't a good idea.
- Take the trail behind you.

Hurry up.

This way. It's dangerous.

There's a famous quote
by Admiral Yi Sun Sin.

"Those who wish to live..."

"will die,"

"and those who are willing
to risk death shall live."

- Come on up.
- What if you get hurt?

- Hurry up.
- Be careful. Behind, all the way.

Don't try to hide your things.
Just come up, okay?

Come on. Hurry.

Come on! Gosh.

I suppose I lacked the
willingness to risk death.

- My gosh.
- Oh, my.

- It's still alive.
- This is grouper.

- My gosh.
- How big is this?

How many centimeters is this?

- Amazing.
- It should be about 50cm.

Goodness, what is this smell?

Sir, put that back. What are you doing?

Is this a fish market or what?

Okay.

Gosh, all of you are really gutsy.

How could you catch fish
inside a military base?

This is against the law.
You're aware, right?

- You must all know that.
- Yes.

All right, then.
Starting with you, give us our ID...

and just answer our questions truthfully.

- Come on. Have a seat.
- Come have a seat here.

Please hurry. We're busy.

- Have a seat.
- Your ID, please.

- Try it.
- Are you sure?

- Is it not dead?
- What?

Oh, it's breathing. My gosh.

It's still alive.

I wonder if he got out of there safely.

What do you do for a living?

I own a hardware store.

Good for him.

What do you do?

I'm unemployed.

- I envy him.
- What do you do?

I give piano lessons to kids.

Goodness, how could you do
this when you teach kids?

Why on earth did I do this?

Next.

(Wanted, Telephone Scammer)

Your ID, please.

- Sir. Your ID, please.
- Yes.

What do you do for a living?

- I work for a company.
- I see.

What do you do?

I have a store.

What do you do?

I own a butcher shop.

Sir.

Sir.

You don't want it back?

Oh, sorry.

Next, please.

Okay.

The ones that are done may go home.

We'll summon you later on.
Please make sure you come.

- Sure thing!
- Yes, of course.

- Thank you.
- Goodbye.

Hello!

- Hello, you're here.
- Hello, you're early.

Hello.

What?

Aren't you...

Right?

(Jinyeong Police Protects
Civilians' Safety and Happiness)

(Jinyeong Police Station)

Oh, this way.

- Has it been about a month?
- Yes.

My gosh.

Hey, quick.

(Jinyeong Police Station)

Hey!

- Please get in. Come on.
- No.

- It's okay.
- We'll take you home.

Gosh, come on. Let's go.

Get in.

- Gosh, watch your head.
- All right.

Make sure you drive him safely all the way!

(Episode 1)

Well, you can just drop me off around here.

Gosh, no way.

He told me to make sure
I drive you all the way.

- Gosh.
- Come whenever you have time...

- for the additional interview.
- What did he do?

- Okay, thank you.
- Take care.

Gosh, let's go. This is crazy.

- What's all this fuss about?
- Go get changed.

You might wonder why I'm
overreacting so much,

but you just don't know my situation.

Now, the branch chief will give a speech.

(Jinyeong Works Hard for Its
Warm, Happy Citizens)

When and if caught by the
police, people like us...

get in as much trouble as criminals do.

Hello, the Jinyeong Branch family.

Good morning to you all.

We're the prosecutors at Jinyeong Branch.

(Jangwon Prosecutors'
Office, Jinyeong Branch)

(Diary of a Prosecutor)

This is Jinyeong,
a fishing city that is filled with culture.

Have you ever been to Jinyeong?

It's a port city located
on the southern coast.

It's about 200km² larger than Seoul,

but the entire population is less...

than that of Dobong-gu, Seoul.

(Dobong-gu: 330,000, Jinyeong: 320,000)

The fact that most of the
money that the victims lost...

was the local residents'
retirement savings...

It's a small branch that consists only...

of 12 prosecutors,
including the branch chief.

But our branch...

has set two unique records.

We, the prosecutors of Jinyeong...

The first one is, we're the only branch...

that the Prosecutor
General forgot to visit...

when he was making his rounds...

through the local branches outside of Seoul.

(Jinyeong Branch Welcomes
the 39th Prosecutor General)

(Jinyeong Branch Welcomes
the 40th Prosecutor General)

Three times in a row at that.

As for the second one...

I'll tell you in a bit.

I've been a prosecutor for 18 years,

and I've never experienced
something so humiliating.

A prosecutor willingly engaging
in an illegal activity...

and getting arrested
red-handed by the police?

Wait, I should introduce
my colleagues first.

This is Nam Byung Jun,
the head of Criminal Department 1.

You utterly ruined...

the reputation and public image
of the prosecution service.

How are we going to bring order
and discipline to this city?

The tension surrounding the
investigative authority is rising,

so this certainly cannot be forgiven.

Sir.

We mustn't let this go unpunished.

We should forward this to
the disciplinary committee,

and I believe he deserves
to be reprimanded severely.

Gosh, sir.

What he did is immature and embarrassing,

but he's genuinely regretting it,

so please kindly forgive him.

The damage has already been done.

He should've been careful to begin with.

I apologize.

I sincerely apologize.

Because of my misconduct,

I ended up...

embarrassing all of you,
including Chief Kim and Mr. Nam.

It pains me so much, and I feel horrible.

I have nothing to say.

However.

As a public prosecutor of this country,

I would suffer from a guilty conscience...

if I don't mention this.

At the scene of the incident yesterday,

I'm afraid there was...

Mr. Lee.

Yes?

Blinded by greed, people sometimes...

step into a place where they're not allowed.

As this is your first offense,

I'll let it pass this once.

- That's not okay.
- No way.

- Unbelievable.
- Wait, Chief.

You may sit down.

- This is ridiculous.
- Well...

Thank you.

- Chief, this is...
- That's enough.

I don't want this to be brought up again.

That's our Branch Chief.

Determined not to be
humiliated by the local police,

he swam 2.8km...

fighting the wind and waves.

I bet he would have run out
of energy about halfway.

So how did he manage to swim 2.8km?

Did he really rely on his willpower only?

(Chief of Jinyeong Branch Kim In
Ju, also known as Sea Otter)

Did you have to point the finger...

at your colleague like that?

You should manage your team better.

One of you is more of an
angler than a prosecutor.

And another thing.

Gosh, forget it.

Let's go.

Hey.

Finish what you were saying.

Another thing what?

Guys, what do you think he
was going to say about me?

What? Hey.

What is it?

Tell me. Hey.

That's Head of Criminal Department
2, Cho Min Ho.

He does his best to stay
young inside and out.

The only problem is,
it can get quite embarrassing.

Hello.

Hey.

- Are you attending a trial?
- Hello. Yes.

- Goodness. Mr. Cho.
- What?

I'll see you later.

(Head of Criminal Department 2 Cho Min Ho)

(Recently divorced)

Gosh, I'm late.

That's Prosecutor Oh Yoon Jin.

In the Violent Crimes Unit,
she used to battle with gangs.

But now she battles with her newborn babies.

- Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, ma'am.

(Prosecutor)

Now that she has to handle trials as well,

what Prosecutor Oh needs right now is...

Court is adjourned for 30 minutes.

(Prosecutor Oh Yoon Jin)

(A Violent Crimes Unit member
turned into a working-mom)

3, 7.

3 times 7 equals 21.

That's Prosecutor Hong Jong Hak.

Five years ago,
he happened to buy a lottery ticket,

which won the second prize...

and earned him 20,000 dollars.

He is a lucky man indeed.

Honey!

Dreaming of striking it rich ever since,

he has already spent...

nearly 30,000 dollars on lottery tickets.

7, 3, 12.

He still firmly believes...

that he will win the first prize someday.

(Prosecutor Hong Jong Hak)

(In charge of speculative activities)

That's Prosecutor Kim Jung Woo.

He is a rookie prosecutor,

who is being trained by me.

What are you doing?

Mr. Lee.

Gosh.

Based on my observations as his mentor,

let me tell you something.

(Getting my caffeine fix)

He has a long way to go as a prosecutor.

(Newbie Prosecutor Kim Jung Woo)

(He's just a kid)

Hello, sir.

Not everyone at the prosecutors'
office is a prosecutor.

Those who work in closest
relation with us are...

the investigators and assistants.

The investigator I work with
has 30 years of experience.

Her name is Jang Man Ok.

Where's my husband?

I couldn't reach him all night last night.

The police told me to
check with the Consulate.

But when I got there,
they told me he was here.

So I traveled all the way here from Busan.

Does any of you understand what I'm saying?

Who are you?

Are you Mingqing's wife, by any chance?

Yes, I am.

The interrogation of him is over.

- Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Yes, I do.

Let's go. I'll take you to him.

(Investigator Jang Man Ok)

(A veteran investigator)

When did she learn Chinese?

I'm starting to wonder if
there's anything she can't do.

All right. It's time to settle this.

Rock, paper, scissors.

That was good.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Hey, you...

Lastly, that's me.

Mr. Lee.

Hi. What are you doing here?

I've been a prosecutor for 10 years now.

And it's been a year and a half
since I transferred to this branch.

To tell you the truth,
I've never been happier.

It's because I'm finally back
in my hometown, Jinyeong.

I've never worked in
the elite departments...

such as Public Security
and Special Investigations.

I belong to the Criminal Department.

Actually, that's where 90 percent...

of the prosecutors belong.

And a big part of their
duties is something like this.

Hello, is this Ms. Park Jung Nam?

Hello, ma'am.

I'm Prosecutor Lee Sun Woong.
I'm in charge of your case.

Yes, that's right.

You don't have to call me that.

You can just call me Sun Woong.

Yes.

By the way,

ma'am, why aren't you coming here?

I know it's a hassle,

but please come just once.
I'd be a big help.

Yes, I beg you.

Ma'am, do me a favor and please do come.

Yes, that's right.

Does he have to go that far?

- Yes.
- Half our job is to summon people.

All you have to do is come here.

Of course.

All right. Thank you, ma'am.

Thank you so much.

Okay.

I see.

All right. Bye.

Of course.

Thank you.

(Prosecutor Lee Sun Woong)

(The main character, an expert at begging)

She was so stubborn when I called.

Your skills are truly amazing.

Of course. I never fail.

By the way, that lady is a victim.

Why does she not want
to meet the prosecutors?

We'll see when we meet her.

We're interviewing the victims today, right?

Yes, at 2pm.

At 2pm? All right.

Mr. Lee Sun Cheol. On February 18,

you received an exorcism fee
of 2,000 dollars in cash...

from victim Park Jung Nam, correct?

Yes, that's correct.

The victim's son pressed charges...

claiming you received the money,
but didn't perform exorcism.

Come on, don't be ridiculous.

I believe there's been a misunderstanding.

I performed exorcism for sure.

21 times.

Then was the victim Park Jung Nam...

or her son present during the exorcism?

Well, not actually. I was alone.

Then from the victim's
perspective, she wouldn't know...

whether you actually
performed the exorcism or not.

Why didn't you invite the
victim when you did it?

Goodness, Prosecutor Lee.

Ms. Park...

was one of my regular customers.

Whenever that old lady was in trouble,

how many times do you think
I performed exorcism for her?

And from time to time, I had to do it alone,

and that's all because of the
trust we had between each other.

What did you say? That I'm a con-artist?

Seriously,

I can't believe this...

I see. Please calm down.

Then is there anyone who can prove...

you actually performed exorcism?

Oh. Uncle Gi Bok probably saw it.

I see, Uncle Gi Bok.

What is his surname?

It's Jang. Jang Gi Bok.

Jang Gi Bok.

What is his phone number?

He probably doesn't have one.

What?

He passed away three years ago.

So you must see dead people
then, is that it?

Of course.

I can see them, hear them,

and even communicate with them.

This is all because of...

the mysterious power of
the lady whom I serve.

"The lady"?

Then by any chance,

will you be able to see my late uncle?

He adored me very much before his death.

Your uncle?

Yes.

How dare you lie in front of
me, you little wench?

Do you know who you are talking to?

How dare you lie to me with
that dirty mouth of yours?

(Investigation Room)

This way.

Please take care then. We'll be in touch.

Goodbye.

Have a good day.

- What is wrong with him?
- What's the matter?

What is it? What's wrong?

What? What is it?

My feet hurt.

- What?
- Oh, my gosh.

- Is it a woman?
- I have to go to my mom.

But my feet hurt so much, and I can't walk.

Mom!

- Wait, calm down.
- What on earth is going on?

You'll be okay. I'll help you.

Jinyeong Branch has another strange history.

That's related to...

room number 309 located
in Criminal Department 2.

For the past 5 years,
the owner of room 309 changed 11 times.

But what's surprising is...

after working in office 309,

all 11 of them quit their
jobs as prosecutors.

And they all literally ran away too.

Ms. Jang tried to test him,
but it totally backfired at her.

That guy is no joke.

Do you think he was suddenly
possessed or something?

My gosh.

I heard this place used
to be a cemetery before.

- Really?
- You didn't know?

Ominous locations that
used to be cemeteries...

must be replaced with strong
energy, like prosecutor's offices.

Or else, it leads to disaster.

Does that mean there's
a ghost at our branch?

"A ghost"? It's hard to
say that there isn't one.

Are you saying there is one or not?

There is.

The girl wearing high heels.

What?

What are you talking about?

You guys didn't know?

I think it was about five years ago.

There was a case where a
girl about eight years old...

went missing in her mom's high heels.

They found the high heels near
a seawall within four days,

- but they didn't find the girl.
- My gosh.

Those high heels were the
only pieces of evidence,

so they couldn't even specify
who the kidnapper was.

That case still remains unsolved.

But...

the prosecutor in charge
of that case used room 309.

And whenever he had to work
late, he always heard that sound.

(The Missing Child Case)

From the end of the hallway,

he could hear the sound
of someone approaching...

slowly towards room 309.
The sound of high heels...

- What's the matter with you?
- Hey.

You know, the shaman said earlier,

"My feet hurt." Right?

I guess that was the high heel ghost.

- Tell me about it.
- Right.

- That's so creepy.
- Then did that girl die?

I guess that's why she became
a ghost and came back here.

She probably has a deep grudge.

Room 309 is the worst room ever.

What a scary, sad,

and unfortunate story.

But...

do you know what's really scary, sad,

and unfortunate?

Room 309...

has remained empty for several months now,

but you people are gossiping
about ghosts like this...

without even feeling worried.

This soup is salty.

(Shaman superhuman abilities)

(Search Results)

Gosh, this is freaky.

- What are you doing?
- You're home.

Oh, boy. There's not much beer left.

You should go buy some then.

Instead of coming empty-handed
and raiding the fridge.

Goodness.

Hello.

- Hello, sir.
- Hi.

I'm Investigator Lee Jung Hwan.
It's nice to meet you.

I'm Investigator Lee Jung Hwan.
It's nice to meet you.

I'm Investigator Lee Jung Hwan.
I look forward to working with you.

Hello, I'm Investigator Lee Jung Hwan.

I really look forward to working with you.

This is Investigator Lee Jung Hwan.

Every time a new prosecutor
comes to room 309,

he's transferred there as an investigator.

- You're home.
- Yes.

I heard the sound of beer cans being
opened, so I came up.

Good job.

Can't you wear some pants?

What if someone sees you?

We're the only ones here anyway.

That's right.

Since we're all gathered
here, let's say cheers then.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

To reduce the severe fine dust,

the President is trying
to enforce measures...

Sir, this will stop him
from becoming a minister.

I'll trust you like always, Prosecutor Kim.

Yes, sir.

What is that? Another prosecutor drama?

There are probably two types
of prosecutors in your head.

The first is a prosecutor that
has become the slave of power.

According to the documents
provided by the prosecution,

the judge and prosecutor in
charge of the case actually...

- We will begin soon.
- The other is...

a righteous apostle that fights
against the evils of society.

I am Prosecutor Cha Myung
Ju of Special Unit 2...

in charge of the Bless
Foundation investigation.

I'll hold this briefing in place of
Deputy Chief Prosecutor Woo Min Jae.

Cha Myung Ju is heading the briefing?

- Bless Foundation has been...
- Where are her bosses?

How would I know?

Involved in insurance fraud,

the cost of damage amounts
up to 200 million dollars.

and the amount of medical
fees has been exaggerated...

- in order to...
- 200 million dollars?

What's the damage in the shaman case?

It's 2,000.

- What?
- I mean 2,000 dollars.

This is...

how most prosecutors are.

Hey.

- Hi.
- You're home.

Hi.

Mr. Kim, why don't you drink with us?

Please leave me alone at home.

Gosh, that punk.

You still don't know his passcode?

I'm trying.

Let's watch something funny
and laugh as loud as we can.

Who knows Mr. Kim will
become curious and come out?

Okay. "Men on a Mission".

When are we supposed to laugh?

Hello.

I got your number from Professor Jeong.

I'm Kim Jung Woo.

Hi.

Ye Rim, I love your voice.

Do you have some time this weekend?

Yes. This Saturday.

Prosecutors are nothing special.

Gosh, I got a cramp.

I got a cramp. Help.

A little below.

Most of the time,
we're stuck in our 33m² office.

We battle with countless
suspects, victims, and witnesses.

This is different from what
you said to the police.

Why are you doing this?
Do you think I look easy?

And we struggle with...

huge piles of documents all the time.

But some of us compete with
something completely different.

As you may already know,

Criminal Department 2 had a
lot more unsolved cases...

than Criminal Department 1 last month.

The more, the better.
Is that what you think?

And why do we have so many
cases older than three months?

Are you forming some kind of
attachment to them or something?

You don't want to let them go?

It doesn't end there.

We have the second-highest
number of recognized cases...

and autopsy cases.

In addition,

we have the second-highest
number of staff members.

Because we're Criminal Department 2,

do we have to always be in second place?

Will my department...

ever come in first place?

Will it?

- Answer me.
- Yes.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Enough of this.

Let's get down to business.

Go ahead.

I suggest...

we go for pasta.

Do you mean the Italian pasta
place at the intersection?

Yes, the Italian pasta place.

- Okay. Next.
- How about Auntie's?

Auntie's.

I vote for that.

We'll take a vote later.

How can you still not know?

(Auntie's)

Anything else?

- Go ahead.
- Grandma's Eel Soup.

Eel soup.

All right.

- Excuse me. We're out of gas.
- Just a moment, please.

- We're out of gas.
- Okay.

- Just a second.
- Excuse me!

We need more gas.

- Okay!
- Excuse me!

Kimchi and seasoned vegetables...

Couldn't you make a reservation?

Goodness.

- Here's your kimchi and vegetables.
- Thank you.

- Enjoy.
- Welcome.

Hello, Chief.

Pardon?

I see.

Thank you.

Bye.

- What's the matter?
- We have someone new coming.

Really?

Finally? That's great.

Congratulations.

No one stays for more than a week anyway.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Eat some more.

(Prosecution Service)

My feet hurt.

And whenever he had to work late,

he always heard that sound.

From the end of the hallway,

he could hear the sound
of someone approaching...

slowly towards room 309.
The sound of high heels...

Is that why people keep quitting?

What is this?

(The Best Moments of Prosecutors)

Oh, I almost forgot.

That's Assistant Sung Mi Ran.

Mr. Lee is on the page?

Me?

That's you, right?

How did you even find this?

It's impossible to know...

what's on her mind.

(Assistant Sung Mi Ran)

(She says no more than two words a day.)

Jinyeong Branch, Criminal Department 2.

Pardon?

My goodness.

I hope you're not badly hurt.

What's wrong? What happened?

What is this?

Is Ms. Park Jung Nam here?

Hello, Ms. Park.
I'm Prosecutor Lee Sun Woong.

- Thank you.
- I told you I didn't want to come.

You were begging me...

so desperately,

so I felt bad and changed my mind.

But do you see what happened?

- Do you see this?
- I'm sorry.

What exactly happened?

A car appeared out of nowhere.

She fell while trying to dodge it.

Oh, my. That must have scared you.

What did I say?

Anyone who tries to harm Sun Cheol...

ends up in trouble. Do you understand?

That's absurd.

I say bad things about
the shaman all the time.

Shouldn't I be dead by now?

- How could you say that?
- Be careful.

You're talking nonsense.

You're obsessed. You have a problem.

That's enough. Be quiet now.

Sir, I want you to leave.

- Pardon?
- You know what?

I'm not interested...

in suing him or anything.

Please don't show up...

- or call me again.
- Mom.

Too bad.

Even if you drop your charges,

this type of crime can be punished
against the victim's will.

We need to first look into
whether he committed an offense.

What is he saying?

What I mean is...

You can't just undo it.

My goodness.

What do I do now?

You sort this out.

I'm not getting anywhere
near the prosecutors' office.

It's something the shaman said.

He said the prosecutors' office is
possessed by a horrible ghost...

and it's best to stay away from it...

if you don't want to get in trouble.

Leave now.

- I need rest.
- Okay.

I hope you get well soon. I'll call you.

No! Stop calling me.

There's no way...

- I'll come to...
- I get it. I'm sorry.

- Still, I'll call you.
- Gosh.

Hey!

Goodness.

- Mr. Lee!
- Yes.

Why does your mother trust
Lee Sun Cheol so blindly?

He did predict a few things accurately.

I see.

About three years ago,

a thief broke into our house,

and Sun Cheol had predicted it.

Last year, there was a fire at our field,

and he had predicted it
and told us to be careful.

That's pretty interesting.

Not really, in my opinion.

My mother has her fortune told so often.

Some of the things she hears
just happen to come true.

I see.

Was the thief caught, by the way?

No.

Someone did break in,

but nothing much was stolen.

So we didn't really do anything.

Okay.

And how did the fire start at your field?

I'm not sure. Someone probably
threw a cigarette butt there.

Wait. Did you say...

your mother fell while
trying to dodge a car?

Yes.

All right.

- Oh, you're back already?
- Yes.

Is the lady badly hurt?

She says she won't come
anywhere near our office.

She thinks she got hurt because of a ghost.

She's horrified.

Do you...

believe in ghosts?

As you probably know very well,

we hear all kinds of stories...

while working in the prosecution.

There was a case where the
victim's spirit showed up...

in the prosecutor's dream and
told him where he was buried.

I've heard so many stories
from each branch...

that I've come to believe in ghosts.

But the funny thing is,

some ghosts can be caught.

Could you see if you can
collect security footage...

from the area on the day of
Park Jung Nam's accident?

- Sure.
- Let's catch this ghost.

No. My gosh.

He kept hounding me,

so I said I didn't do it.

I kept saying no, but he kept insisting.

I'm telling you. I went there...

and said...

At your work,

there's a scary woman.

I see her wearing high heels.

The thing is,

she likes to be alone.

So whenever anyone comes into the office,

she harasses them and kicks them out.

Then what should I do?

Take this paper talisman...

and put it up in that room in secret.

So just stick it somewhere
in the room in secret?

- Then...
- One thing though.

After you put it up,

you must not turn around...

even if you hear...

any strange sounds.

Never...

look back.

Do not...

turn around.

Don't turn around...

no matter what.

- Mom.
- You must not...

turn around!

Come on out.
We need to go pick up the newbie!

Mr. Lee! Mr. Kim!

This is such an important day.
Where did they go?

Yes, I just got here. Where are you?

Yes, 11.

Right, Cheonil Express. That's right.

There you are. Hello!

Nice to meet you, finally. Please get off.

Hello.

- You must be exhausted.
- Thank you for coming here.

Oh, okay. I'm a little tired indeed.

- The traffic was bad, right?
- No, it was okay.

Hello?

Yes, I just arrived.

- Number 11. Oh, hello.
- Hello.

- Welcome.
- Nice to meet you.

I'm Cho Min Ho,
and this is investigator Lee Jung Hwan.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

My, what a beautiful day.

Are you married?

Sorry? Oh, yes.

- Then do you have kids?
- Yes.

Gosh, I assumed you were a bachelor.

No, I'm not.

Where do you live?

- I live in Seoul.
- I see.

Look, I guess a shipyard
used to be over there.

- My gosh.
- Right, there was a shipyard.

It's a very famous site.

It looks new every time I see it.

Take a picture of us.

Okay, all right.

In 1, 2, 3.

- This is melting my stress away.
- Totally.

It's so nice.

- Are you all right?
- Yes.

Look at the view.

This is so nice!

- Hello.
- My, they look so fresh.

- My gosh, look.
- What?

- Look, red seabream.
- Oh, my.

How much is this?

I've always wanted to come here.

Thank you so much for bringing me here.

No problem.

- Isn't this incredible?
- Yes, it is.

This is the hottest fusion
restaurant in Jinyeong.

The view is quite nice, isn't it?

Yes, the view is amazing.

- Have a seat.
- Oh, thank you.

You must be busy.
Thank you for coming all the way here.

No problem. I'm happy to get some fresh air.

- Come on in.
- Okay.

This is the hottest sashimi
restaurant in Jinyeong.

This place is very popular these days.
Take off your jacket.

Right, okay.

- You like sashimi, right?
- Yes, of course.

The sashimi here melts in your mouth.

- It's so good.
- It's amazing.

Excuse me!

- Let's clink our glasses.
- Oh, right.

- Thanks for coming.
- Thank you for showing me around.

- Have some lobster.
- Thank you. I will.

Sir, I need to use the washroom.

- Sure, go ahead.
- Thank you.

Gosh, what's wrong with my stomach?

He must have irritable bowel syndrome.

As for this talisman,

put it somewhere inside a newbie's jacket.

It'll make him stay in Jinyeong for good.

What? What are you doing, sir?

Oh, I was...

just trying to check the label.

This jacket is very nice.

The fabric is top-notch.

- You're very fashionable.
- Thank you.

- My, how stylish.
- Thank you.

Leave it.

My professor...

I mean, your uncle has always been...

very fond of me since my law school days.

I see.

Did you hear anything about me?

I don't really recall anything.

I was...

known as an exceptional student
throughout my law school days.

All my professors always said,

"A guy like you should become a prosecutor."

That reminds me,
my uncle told me an interesting story.

What's the story?

Back when he was a prosecutor,

the southernmost branch he
worked at was the one in Daejeon.

He said...

the branch you're assigned
to shows how capable you are.

Especially when you're new,
it's based solely on your grades.

The top five go to the Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.

After that, the Eastern, Southern,
and Western Branches in Seoul.

And anything outside of Seoul...

He said, the lower your grades are,

the further you end up from Seoul.

Only if I didn't make a
mistake marking the answers.

- Jung Woo.
- Yes?

You're pretty cute.

- I guess you weren't just a nerd.
- Right.

- Cheers.
- Oh, sure.

Thank you for the delicious meal, sir.

I'm glad it fit your taste.

You'll be able to eat these
types of meals often from now on.

Right?

Of course.

Well, then,

how about taking a look
around our residence,

and going for a second round?

No, thank you.
I'll just take a look around...

and go later.

Why? You should come with us.

Sir, you might make him uncomfortable.

Really? Well, I understand.

Then you can take a look around.

- Okay.
- We'll be at the residence.

- See you later then.
- Yes, sir.

Wait!

- What are you...
- I'm so glad to meet you.

I sincerely welcome you to Jinyeong.

- I'll see you later.
- Okay.

- I'll be going then.
- All right.

- Take care.
- Yes, sir.

"The hand is faster than the eye."

- Shut up.
- Yes, sir.

What do you think?
Don't you have a good feeling this time?

Well, yes.

I believe we've finally met
the real owner of room 309.

I think that was pure genius of me.

Your hands were so fast.

Wow, that was really amazing.

(Jinyeong to Seoul)

Excuse me, that's my seat.

Thank you.

Hello.

First of all, it was nice to meet you today.

Thank you for treating
me to a nice meal today.

I had a good time.

It was nice to see the ocean...

and get some fresh air today.

But I'm sending this text with deep regret.

After giving it some deep thought,

I'm afraid this isn't
the right place for me.

I'm sure you'll meet
someone much better than me.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Take care.

Darn it, that jerk.

We showed him around all
day and even fed him.

Goodness, how dare he?

- What's his problem?
- Gosh, seriously.

- Welcome home.
- What on earth?

Look at you.

Goodness.

What are you staring at so hard?

What is it?

(Thank you for treating
me to a nice meal today.)

(I'm sure you'll meet someone
much better than me. Take care.)

"Take care?" Didn't she just meet you today?

If she's concerned about you like this,

she shouldn't be dumping
you in the first place.

Tell me about it.

And look at this thing.

Why is she smiling when she's dumping you?

Is she mocking you or what?
It even makes me angry.

I know, right?

Finally we're talking, man.

What did you say? "Man?"

"Man?"

You little punk.

That hurts.

Tap. Tap out.

- Tap, my foot.
- That hurts.

- I think I might puke.
- Get ahold of yourself.

- I'm really going to throw up!
- Do you understand?

He already quit?

But he had only been in
Jinyeong for a few hours.

How could he quit already?

For goodness' sake. This is a new record.

Mr. Cho. Did you make
a mistake or something?

Of course not.

He just wasn't meant to
be a part of our office.

Then is this the 12th person then?

Don't take it so personally.

Let's think of this with
a long-term perspective.

Yes, sir.

I'm sure the owner of
room 309 will appear soon.

Or...

We might become the new owners of room 309.

I've been thinking about this for some time.

How about emptying out that office...

and making it into a meditation room?

- Sorry?
- We can lay out...

some yoga mats on one side.

And make another corner where we can...

enjoy some nice tea.

We can turn on some relaxing music as well.

The employees of Jinyeong Branch can come...

whenever they're exhausted
from work and use it...

as a place where they can receive healing.

Room 309, do you mean?

Are you really talking about room 309?

Instead of continuing to leave it vacant,

don't you think that would be better?

You are absolutely right, sir.

It's a waste to leave that office empty.

But still, a new family
member will join us someday...

- Mr. Cho.
- Yes?

On one side of the meditation room,

I'll even put a cycle
where you can work out.

Think of that as your new family...

and use it all you want.

- But...
- That sounds great, Mr. Cho.

I envy you.

Thank you for coming in...

when I called you so suddenly.

No problem. My lady told me...

that I was going to receive
a call from the prosecution.

So I prepared myself beforehand.

I see.

Then by any chance,
did your lady tell you...

why we called you?

Yes. I think I know why I'm here roughly.

The victim, Ms. Park Jung Nam
has dropped the charges.

That's exactly what my lady told me.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Well, sure.

By the way, Ms. Park Jung Nam
was heavily injured.

Did you meet her?

Yes. I wished for her to get well soon...

and even reserved a date
for her next exorcism.

She was practically injured
because of you and your lady,

so I hope you'll fully cooperate
with the investigation.

Yes, I will.

By the way, it seems your lady...

knows how to drive too.

The fact that Ms. Park Jung Nam fell down...

while trying to avoid a
car kept bothering me.

So I checked the dashcams...

from the cars that were parked nearby.

Oh, my.

Do you know who the owner of
that car turned out to be?

It was your cousin, Mr. Lee Min Cheol.

Do you know who Mr. Lee Min Cheol called...

right after the incident?

Sun Cheol, I'm done here.

All right.

Good job.

It was...

you, Mr. Lee Sun Cheol.

Thank you for the drink.

So there weren't any valuables
inside worth stealing?

No, there were.

But nothing was missing.

Further, we are currently investigating...

suspicious cases in your
neighborhood related to you...

considering the possibility
that you may be related as well.

It'll take a while to look
into all the small cases.

But with those aside,

you did...

threaten the victim's life by
trying to hit her with a car.

I'd say it counts as attempted
murder or conspiracy to murder.

They say humans are scarier than ghosts.

And you just proved that.

You'll get in trouble for this!

I think you should stop causing trouble...

and hire an attorney.

Drink it before it gets cold.
The interrogation will take a while.

Let's go to the interrogation room.

Bring your coffee.

- Well... Hold on.
- Let's go.

There seems to be a misunderstanding.

You may have noticed.

Actually, Jinyeong Branch is...

not a place...

every prosecutor dreams of working at.

The Prosecutor General forgot
to visit us three times,

and 12 new prosecutors
quit our branch in a row.

But it's all no surprise.

In any case, we come to work every day.

We fulfill our duties no matter what.

After all, this is our workplace,

and Jinyeong needs prosecutors too.

Gosh, I'm tired.

How will I go home?

But then...

This person has absolutely
nothing to do with Jinyeong.

So why is she here?

(Diary of a Prosecutor)

Cha Myung Ju?

Why would such a competent
prosecutor transfer here?

This is our new member,
Prosecutor Cha Myung Ju.

- Nice to meet you.
- I'm Lee Sun Woong.

Very nice to meet you.

Didn't you start in the
same year as Ms. Cha?

Were you two close?

You went to the same school.
Pay extra attention to her.

What's the matter?

I wish I didn't remember her either.

Let me handle half of
the department's cases...

and any cases older than two months.

It's already started.

Is she ambitious or rude?

I'm here regarding the unpaid
wages at Jeongsu Industry.

Don't worry too much.

It's my case now.

This case shouldn't be settled so easily.

I don't need advice from
someone in the same year as me.

But I entered school earlier than you.

Who cares about that in the prosecution?

I do.

I don't.

This is serious.

Do you want to know why Ms. Cha
transferred to Jinyeong...

instead of leaving the prosecution?

Do you know why?

Hello.

(Summons)

(5 years ago)

Every night, I hear footsteps
from the end of the hallway.

The sound of high heels...

But when I go out, there's no one.

I think it's related to the case
I'm dealing with.

What case?

A child went missing
while walking in high heels.

I'm afraid I'm being visited by that kid.

(5 years ago)

Which room are you in?

Room 309.

Never look back!

Never look back!

Never look back!
